So I'm not dead... Where have I been? (-_ - lll)

Well... I had finals. Then the Coronavirus went out of control. My spring break started with chaos and I'm stuck at my college. My school have closed down but they haven't closed down the dorms, which is good for me. My break started pretty stressful but I have been managing. I've been doing some reading and finally some writing so I was able to finished this chapter. Yay!

Anyways, this coronavirus is no joke. I'm am literally freaking out and luckily it's not that bad on my end, but god I'm scared. People, please disinfect everything and I mean everything. Make sure you wash your hands THROUGHLY! And keep yourself safe. I'm literally paranoid now and I've been washing my hands consistently. I'm sure this will be over sometime in the summer, but until then keep good care of yourself. Taking good care of yourself is also taking care of others. Pray to the goddesses for their divine protection against this virus!

Now let's start the chapter!


Lowee, Gamindustri

Place: Lowee City

Date: August 26, 2019

Time: 11:24 P.M

White Heart swung her hammer at the other CPU, only to be blocked by her long staff. The CPU then twirled around and tornado kicked White Heart, knocking her aside. White Heart quickly recovered herself and rushed at her opponent with her weapon overhead. The other CPU yawned as she smiled, waiting for the other goddess.

White Heart growled, hating how the other CPU was looking down on her. "Take this! Getter Ravine!" She swung her hammer down, but the foreign CPU held her hand up and stopped the attack, shocking the white goddess, "Wha-!"

The CPU then thrust her staff at White Heart's abdomen like a spear, knocking the wind out of her. White Heart hovered back as she held her stomach in agony. The other goddess then swung her staff and summoned out a bolt of lightning towards Lowee's CPU, electrocuting her. White Heart screamed as she felt her body being burned. Once the lightning passed through her, she fell to the ground.

"Hahahahaha! The mighty White Heart, down for the count!"

White Heart sat up and glared at the blue CPU in the air.

"I was so scared of you, but now with this power." She grinned as lightning flashed behind her. "I shall rid the CPUs from this world!"

"Tch!" White Heart spat out some blood and yelled, "Aren't you a CPU!? Pretty ironic that you want to rid this world of CPUs when you're one yourself!"

The other goddess frowned. "CPUs shouldn't exist in this world. Our existence was a mistake!" She held up her staff and waved it around. Dark swirling clouds formed above her and spread through the city, covering the starry sky with nothing but darkness. "That's why I'll start by destroying your source of power!" She swung her staff down and lightning rained down from the dark clouds striking the roads and buildings. People ran in terror as they tried to shelter themselves from the danger.

"No! Stop!" White Heart leaped into the air and attacked the other CPU. "You have harmed them more than enough!"

The blue goddess leaned back, avoiding the attack. She then swung her staff like a bat and smacked White Heart against the head. The white goddess moved back as she shook her head, trying to regain her focus. The other CPU chuckled as she summoned more lightning from the sky. The lightning passed through White Heart, giving her a terrible shock. The goddess screamed in agony and descended to the ground again.

The other CPU laughed as she created more chaos. "Yes! I'm doing it! I'm doing it! I'm beating a CPU!"

White Heart shakingly stood up, only to drop back down to her knees. She can't be defeated here, her people need her. Come on! Get up! Get up! White Heart forced herself to stand and fight.

"Stay down, White Heart. I'll give you a painless death if you stay still," she chuckled.

"You sure have a big mouth," growled the White CPU.

"Like you're one to talk! You used to push me around! But look at me now! This is what it's like to be powerful! Hahahaha!"

White Heart gritted her teeth. She could see from the other CPU's eyes that she was a crazy psychopath. She can't let this CPU go loose on Gamindustri. She has to take care of her here and now.

"You shall be the second CPU to disappear from this world! I am this much closer to freeing the people! With this power, I can destroy all you CPUs!"

"I really hate how you are singing the same tune as that damn rebellion group," White Heart growled.

She blinked and smiled, "Oh! You're talking about my Citizens group? They have been doing a good job, no? I'm quite surprised myself at how much my group has grown."

White Heart questioned, "Your group?"

She chuckled, "Well, I am the leader of it after all."

The white goddess stared at the CPU in front and she soon made the shocking connection. "Rei Ryghts!?"

"Bingo! That's right! It is I, Rei Ryghts, to the rescue!" She opened her arms as if to welcome the world. "I shall free this cursed world from the ruling of CPUs!"

"That's bullshit!" White Heart cursed. "There's no way Rei Ryghts is a goddess! She's human!"

"Nuh uh! It's all me, girl," said Rei. "I have the power of a goddess, just like you! Now you'll have to take me seriously. Come at me with your Quartet's weapon at full force!"

White Heart gripped her hammer as she got ready to launch off the ground. "You asked for it!" She pushed off the ground and sped towards Rei with her hammer overhead. "Take this!"

Rei blocked the hammer with her long staff. She then leaned in and grabbed onto the hammer's hilt and swung White Heart away. Rei grinned and chased after the flung CPU. White Heart quickly used her weapon as a shield as Rei swung her staff, hard. White Heart grunted as the force of the attack send her back. She needed space or she'll be stuck in defense mode.

White Heart flew away to get some distance, but the other CPU chased after her. The two flew in circles, looking like streaks of blue and white lights zooming around and clashing in the dark sky. Rei was always flying above her and White Heart was stuck in defensive mode for most of the clash. She could never get the upper hand against the other CPU and it was pissing White Heart off.

"What's wrong White Heart? Why are you always avoiding and blocking my attacks!?" Rei grinned as she appeared above White Heart again. She whipped her staff down and White Heart blocked it, but she was pushed down to the ground by the force of the swing. Rei hovered in the sky as she laughed, "The Great White Heart unable to fight back!? Ahahahahaha!"

White Heart stood back up as she groaned. "Fuck this…"

"Let me make it rain for you!" Rei swung her staff and multiple lightning bolts flashed and rained down from the sky.

White Heart's eyes widened in horror when the lighting broke through building tops, set flames to the trees and created small craters on the roads. "Stop ruining my nation!"

"Come and stop me!" Rei challenged.

White Heart flew directly at the CPU with eyes filled with flames of hatred. Rei chuckled as she expected the white goddess to come straight at her. She was gonna make White Heart regret ever getting in her way. She planned to give White Heart a painful death.

Lowee, Gamindustri

Place: Lowee City

Date: August 27, 2019

Time: 1:24 A.M

The White Sisters managed to guide most of the people out of the burning city. They told everyone to stay calm and stay together. The two candidates looked back at the city covered in flames wondering if their older sister was alright.

"I hope Blanc is okay…" said the older White Sister

"Lady Blanc will do what she can to save Lowee," said the oracle.

"Mina is right, Rom. She's fine. You know how tough Blanc is," said the other White Sister.

"Yeah…" The blue-haired candidate twiddled her fingers in worriment.

"I am just as worried as you are, Rom." Mina looked down at her hands to see the dimly lit crystal in the shape of a power button. The Share Crystal is dull… Mina closed her hands around the crystal and pulled in close to her chest. "All we can do it have faith in her."

"As you can see, the beautiful city of Lowee is now lit in flames."

"Huh?" Both White Sisters turned their heads to a reporter with his camera crew.

"This all happened because of the CPU! If they weren't here, then we wouldn't have been attacked like this! That said, CPUs are not fit to rule us!"

"Why that little-!"

"Ram, don't do anything rash."

"But he's talking trash about us, Rom! I can't just let that slide when Blanc is risking her life for these people! Those people with the Citizens group don't deserve or divine protection!"

"But it's not our right to force them under our rule," said the older White Sister.

"Rom is right," said Mina. "Lady Blanc wouldn't want people to have faith in her by force."

"But-!"

Suddenly a loud crash was heard and the White Sisters saw White Heart lying on the ground with bruises and burn marks. All the citizens began to huddle in fear at the condition of their goddess. They haven't seen anyone take down White Heart before and it was starting to frighten them.

"That all you got!? Ahahahahaha!"

The pink-haired candidate looked up to see the other goddess. "Stop bullying, big sis, you big meany!"

"Huh?" Rei looked towards the CPU candidates to see the citizens of Lowee all huddled together. "Would you look at that?" She let out a wicked grin. "All of the people in a single area. A perfect way to get rid of your shares…"

"Don't… Don't you dare think about it!"

Rei looked down to see White Heart getting back up with her weapon. "Still got some fight left in you, huh?"

"I won't let you harm them!" White Heart claimed.

"Touch them or not, I don't need to harm them," said Rei. "Just a few words will rile them up!" Rei cleared her throat and announced, "Look, citizens of Lowee! This is the real power of a CPU! We will cause destruction to you all! CPUs will never protect you! We only want you for power!"

The citizens began to whisper as fear crept into their hearts. They began to lose faith in their goddess, no, all the goddesses on Gamindustri. They began to believe that it would be best to not have a CPU ruling over them.

"Maybe those people in the rebellion group were right…"

"Yeah, just look at our home."

"CPUs shouldn't exist after all."

"See! I told you CPUs were bad!"

The oracle couldn't believe her ears. Looking down, she could see the Share Crystal quickly losing its shine. She must do something, and fast. "Stop! All of you! Lady Blanc has protected us for the longest of times! How can you all just say that now!?"

"Do you not see our city!? It's in flames! And it's all because of those CPUs!"

"They should just leave us alone! We don't need you, White Heart!"

"Yeah! Leave us alone! Get out of here!"

"You're only causing us trouble!"

Mina was taken aback by the people. "How can this be? Lady Blanc is risking her life for us as we speak…"

"T-They won't listen…" whimpered the older White Sister.

"H-Hey! What's going on!?" The younger White Sister's transformation gave out and she was back to her base form. Ram turned to the other White Sister to see her glowing.

"M-Me too?!" Rom lost her HDD as well.

Mina looked down at the crystal in her hands to see it producing a dim glow. "There are not enough shares to power all three CPUs… You lost your HDD because of this. If this situation doesn't get solved soon then…" Mina snapped her head to White Heart who was still on the ground.

"Leave Lowee! We don't want you, CPUs!"

The people began to pick up snow and started to throw them at the candidates. Rom and Ram covered their faces to protect themselves. Mina wrapped her arms around the candidates to protect them from being bombarded with snowballs.

Rei laughed as she watched the people of Lowee turn on their goddesses. "This is so much fun to watch! Ahahahahaha! Turned by your own people! Hilarious!"

White Heart materialized her wings and launched towards her opponent. She swung her hammer, but Rei easily stopped her attack with a swing of her staff. "Still fighting, I see?" She frowned as she raised her staff. "Your people have abandoned you, why don't you just stop?" Rei swung her staff down hard. White Heart blocked it with her hammer, but Rei then turned her body and slammed her leg against her waist.

White Heart yelped as she was knocked aside and then a bolt of lightning struck down on her. White Heart dropped down and crashed. Her body felt tired and numb. She wasn't sure if she could fight anymore. She was losing so many shares. Never have her body strained so much just to keep herself in her goddess form.

Slowly sitting up, she turned to look at her sisters and her people. Mina and the twins were trying to calm the riled up people, but it wasn't working. Her people were angry, sad and scared. Seeing them like this, White Heart knew she can't give up yet. Even if she's not wanted, she must protect her people.

White Heart coughed out some blood as she shakingly stood up. She wiped the blood from her lips and glared at the CPU in the sky.

"Why do you still defend them? Your people no longer wants you!" Rei screamed.

"I don't care. They are still Lowee's citizens and I will stand again to protect them no matter how beaten up I am," White Heart forced out.

"Protect them?" Rei scoffed, "Pfft, you never protected them. You use them for your own benefit! I know how you CPUs are. You only care about your shares!"

"So what if I only care about shares! My shares are what gives me the power to protect my nation!" White Heart claimed.

"You abuse your power! You use violence to keep your people in check! You force them to follow you! So I will be their savior and free them from your evil clutches! I shall do this world a favor and destroy you! I will stop your violent ways!"

White Heart gritted her teeth as she clenched her hands. "You think I like using violence… You think I like being the bad guy…?"

"Huh? What was that? I can't hear you over my victory!" Rei laughed.

"You think I like being violent!?" White Heart yelled at the top of her lungs, causing everyone to go quiet. "You think I like being seen as the most ruthless CPU on Gamindustri!?"

Mina turned to see White Heart quivering. She then noticed that the snowballs were no longer being thrown at them or the candidates. The people began to lower their arms. They were still conflicted and upset, their faith in their goddess has wavered, but they calmly listened to White Heart's words.

"You think I liked forcing my own people out of their homes because of your stupid little rebellion group!? Well, I don't! But if it's to protect my nation and my people from your toxic methods, then I'll gladly step up and be the villain!"

"Oh!" Rei smirked, "So you admit that you are a bad CPU?"

"Yeah, I'll admit it," White Heart growled. "I am a terrible CPU and these people deserve so much better, but guess what? Fuck what they want! I may not be the best goddess, but I will do my job and protect them whether they like it or not!"

"Lady Blanc…" Mina knew Blanc had it tough. People say good things about White Heart, but there were also bad things. To the people, White Heart was like a double-edged sword. While having protection, they had to put up with her anger issues as well.

"They can throw shit at me as much as they want. They can trash talk about me as much as they want. But as Lowee's current CPU, I refuse to leave these people unprotected! I will fight whatever and whoever if it means to keep them safe! They don't have to believe in me! They don't have to follow me! But they are the people of Lowee and I will keep them safe no matter what the cost!"

White Heart's words have touched the people's hearts. Their anger has been quelled, and shame has overcome them to ever think that their goddess would purposely cause harm to them. Mina looked down and she could see the Share Crystal in her hand glowing just a bit brighter.

"On these soils that I stand, I vow to fight you to the bitter end, Rei Ryghts!" White Heart shouted.

"Then you shall die!" Rei raised her staff and lightning zapped down, forming a ball of electricity above her.

White Heart spread her arms, ready to take the attack head on. "I am Lowee's CPU and I will not let you harm my citizens as long as I stand here!"

"Blanc! No, get away!" Ram screamed, trying to get to her older sister.

"You mustn't!" Mina clung onto both Ram and Rom to keep them away from harm's way.

"Don't die, Blanc!" cried Rom as she reached her arms out.

White Heart glanced back and softly smiled as a single tear fell from her left eye. "Lead our people, Ram, Rom. I know you'll do great."

"NO! Blanc, you can't do this!" Ram cried out. "I'm not ready! You promised to stay with us!"

Rom whimpered and sniffled, "Run away, p-please, run away, Blanc…"

"Mina…"

Mina looked straight into White Heart's eyes. "Lady Blanc…" She could feel her eyes tearing up.

"Take care of them for me…"

"DIE!" Rei swung her staff down and the giant ball of electricity began to descend down.

"NOOOOO!" Ram screamed at the top of her lungs, hoping that this was all just a dream.

White Heart screwed her eyes shut as the attack hit her full force. The ground broke away as the white goddess was engulfed by the ball of lightning. The people were all blown to the ground and Mina pushed the candidates to the ground to lighten the damage from the shockwave of the attack. And when the attack died down, White Heart was no longer standing.

Ram and Rom never stopped looking at the lump of burnt flesh in the small crater. Their eyes were wide open as tears streamed down their cheeks. Their brains could not process the sight and condition of their elder sister. It was as if someone has fried their internal system. But as reality came back to them, the two candidates broke down and all Mina could do was hold them tightly as they screamed.

"BLAAAAAAANC!"

Don't get mad. It's not that bad... (-_ - lll)

Okay, maybe it's bad, but don't worry! It'll be okay... hopefully...

What a great chapter to come back on, right? ( lll)

Still mad? Okay, I'll um... see ya'll next time?

If I don't die from the coronavirus that is. Hehe... hehe...

It's not like I want to hurt Blanc, okay?! It's for development! Development! You need to make sacrifices for the greater good! And Blanc just happened to be that sacrifice to get the snowball moving! Please forgive me!

Oh! I also got Grammarly and, my gods, it was such a big help in correcting this chapter. I had so many grammar mistakes in that I missed. Grammarly saved my life! And no, I'm not being sponsored by it but I highly recommend it if you have spelling and grammar problems. It's like having a editor on your computer. Even my English professor recommended it. She literally won't read our Essays if we don't run it through grammarly first. So if you are writers as well, you should try out Grammarly. Though I'm sure many of you already heard of it.
