Prologue H; Distortion into the Zero Dimension! The Perpetrator is… Uzume?!
Days have passed after the events of AffimaX, everything was once again peaceful. However an event that Silvia has seen will transpire, what will become of warriors? What will happen to them? Let's start with them having their own relaxing day.
-Planeptune Basilicom Augmented Training Room-
Deep in the lower basement of Planeptune's Basilicom the Goddess Protectors and their younger brothers were in the new Training room James built with Adam's help, all of them were sparring against one another to continue growing stronger.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Jeff charges at James who is in his power armor and they clash their punches causing a powerful shockwave.
"Quite a surprise, so now you can freely enter Dragon Force!" True to James' words, Jeff is able to go into Dragon Force on his own like Tempest could after returning home.
"Yep, now I'm a lot tougher to beat!" Jeff tells him as they continue their sparring session. Isaac and Noble have their own training with their accuracy, Isaac practicing with his bow, and Noble practices his aiming shooting targets that spawn from random distances.
"You are getting better with your accuracy, Noble." Isaac compliments him.
"Thanks, but you can easily get your target when you use your wind power and shoot arrows from in the air." Noble tells him and they continue shooting the practice targets. Alex and Seth were having their own training as the duel against each other.
"By sacrificing Celtic Guardian I call out Dark Magician Girl!" He says and his magician appeared and slightly thought about his dream curiously then shook it off. "Now I add the Magic Formula to increase her attack power, and now Dark Burning Attack my brother's Neos!" His spellcaster readies herself and fires at Seth's Element Hero.
"Not so fast, I activate my Hero Barrier Trap card! This stops your attack from destroying Neos!" Seth says with a smirk.
"Seth has grown so much. I taught him as much as I could… however I can't shake the feeling of my dream." Alex thought to himself and continued what they are doing. Adam is training with Mark as he learns to wield the Blue Rose Sword Isaac lent to him to use.
"I know you can make swords yourself. However, that Sword Isaac lent to you may be of help because it holds some power of ice." Mark tells him as they clash blades. "My bro also tells me that unique swords have a hidden power inside them."
"Well if this sword and the one James has have special powers, then we gotta find out what to do to activate them." Adam says pushing Mark away. Tempest and Selena are having their own training themselves, however Selena sometimes seemed distracted by something in her mind.
"Hey Selena, is something wrong? You seem to be lost in thought." Tempest asks her and Selena stares at her and Kaylin in human form.
"Um… well it's just that… I've been thinking about something ever since I was a kid… a reason why I was roaming Gamindustri." She starts saying. "I did meet Jeff and Igniaus our dad who trained us to learn Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. However this Ice Dragon Slayer magic I was given has reminded me of my troubles…"
"Your troubles?" Tempest asks curious what Selena is getting to until an alarm goes off and everyone has to cover their ears, especially the Dragon Slayers. "What's going on now?!" The Simulation turns to a black room and a visual screen of Histoire with a serious expression.
"It's an emergency! A hole has appeared up in the sky!" She tells them and shows a visual of a large swirling hole. "The CPUs decided to go take a look into it."
"Then the four of us will tag along with them!" Jeff says. "Adam, you and the others stay here. We don't really know what to expect, if something happens to us… you guys would be the only ones to watch over our home."
"I understand, please be careful." Adam says to his brother and the four Protectors head up to the first floor. "... why do I suddenly have an ominous feeling?"
"Come on dude, if you are worried you shouldn't be. Our brothers are stronger than you think, and they have reached higher levels of power than we could." Noble tells him and Adam nods agreeing. However Adam couldn't stop worrying about something strange about to happen, so he and Nepgear decided to sneak out. Although Noble and Uni expected that happening and the four went together and following behind their older siblings.
Heart Dimension Guardians H
Once the CPUs and Protectors have entered the hole they find themselves in a dungeon of some kind. It looked to be like a maze type of dungeon, the group of eight continued through the dungeon scoping around the place wondering what caused a hole to appear in the sky. While walking Neptune started complaining and Noire scolded her off, however Vert interrupted saying a horde of monsters appeared. All of them got ready however Jeff and Neptune have seen these monsters from a certain place they know.
"These creeps are from the Zero Dimension!" Jeff tells them
"If that's so… then this must be a warp tunnel connecting our home to the Zero Dimension. Question is… why?" James estimated
"We'll have to worry about that later! First thing is to get rid of all these guys!" Alex tells them and each of them fight off against a different monster each and easily defeat them.
"Not too bad, although doing damage caused them to mess our clothes." Isaac says looking at the guts of slain monsters on him. "I guess we should head back, however I worry that more monsters will appear from the other side of the tunnel."
"No problem, just stand back and let me do the work!" Jeff warns them and they get into the small passageway they came from and Jeff forms a ball of fire. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" He tosses it and causes a massive explosion that suddenly makes a blockade. "That takes care of that!"
"Wasn't that a bit overkill there? I wasn't expecting these walls to be destructible… but since that has been taken care of, let's head back and-" Before James could finish.
"Who's there!? Show yourself!" Jeff suddenly shouted and everyone turned to see who he was yelling and both Neptune and Jeff couldn't believe who it was.
"... it's quite troublesome if you do something like that Jeff." She says to him. "Hey there, Nepsy. It's been a while." Neptune was shocked to see her however Jeff was not fooled from the different tone of her voice.
"Uzume?! Why are you here?! Is this place really connected to the Zero Dimension on the other side?" Neptune asks her.
"Bingo. This corridor was created between the boundaries of Hyper and Zero Dimension like a passageway between the two." She explains.
"Wow, pretty crazy meeting in a place like this! Are you investig-" before Neptune could finish her sentence.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!" Jeff leaps at Uzume with a kick, who dodged the attack with a backflip and frowned.
"Whoa Jeffy what's with you doing that suddenly?!" Neptune asked in shock while he had a serious expression towards Uzume.
"Alright you talk, I know you "really" aren't Uzume. Don't think for a second you can fool me!" Jeff exclaimed while Neptune was confused what he meant. "What I don't get is your smell is similar… but the difference is that you got a dark smell to you." They stared at one another for a moment until she smirked slightly.
"I guess I underestimated your abilities as a Dragon Slayer." She says with a snap of her fingers and from above is Dark Purple that was destroyed.
"What the hell?! What is that?!" Isaac asked in shock of the size of the being that appeared.
"Isn't that the thing Jeff and the others defeated before?! Why is she able to do that?!" James asks confused.
"That doesn't matter. Nothing matters anymore. After all, you and the others will be falling into a whirlpool of delusions from now on." She says and the guys looked up at her in shock hearing "Delusions". She snaps her fingers again and a portal of darkness appears below the 8 and shadowy hands flung out grabbing a hold of all of them.
"Gah, I can't stop this! Just you wait, when I find out who you are, you will wish you never met me!" Jeff shouts at her fully getting pulled into the dark portal which disappears.
"Now, I've captured the currently active CPUs and Guardians. I can't believe they'd be drawn out so easily without realizing it was a trap. Now then, I'll be heading back. I will soon make you fully complete, too." The unknown girl as Uzume says and at the moment Nepgear, Adam, Uni, and Noble arrived to notice what happened. Nepgear couldn't believe she saw her sister taken away by someone she considered a friend. Adam did hear what his brother said, that girl was not really Uzume. The question is who was that girl anyway? So many questions go through his mind wondering why this is all happening.
