Chapter 9

Hikan's POV

When we turned to look who it was, my head started to hurt, behind us was a woman, she had long white hair that went down to her thighs, her eyes were a turquoise color with a power symbol replacing the pupil, she also wore a black skin tight body suit that revealed her cleavage, she also wore those black stocking looking socks like Neptune has, her outfit kinda looked similar to Neptune's, minus all the Purple.

She was looking mainly at Neptune, and finally said "So this is your plan, coming into my nation and stealing my glory." Her nation? Her glory? what did she mean?

"Who are you?" I spoke up, the woman looked at me with a look of stupidity, did I say something wrong?

"Who am I? I'm CPU Black Heart, and this is my nation you're in." she said, which after she said "CPU" my head started to throb, I clutched my skull and yelled a scream of pain,

"AGGGH!" everyone looked at me with a shocked expression, this pain I felt was worse than the other times my head hurt, Neptune put her hands on my shoulders

"Hikan!" she yelled, I fell to my knees, still clutching my skull, and let out another scream,

"AGGGGH!" Neptune looked over at Black Heart and gave her the most angriest look I ever saw her do, actually it was the first angry look I ever saw coming from her,

"Stop hurting Hikan! If this is a fight you want, then battle me!" she yelled, Black Heart just laughed,

"I'll kindly take you up on that offer, but just know I didn't do anything to him." she said before materializing a black sword with the edge of the blade being highlighted with blue,

Neptune materialized her sword and stepped forward, is she crazy! she won't be able to fight another battle! I grabbed her hand, and stopped her from going forward, she turned and looked at me, the pain was so much that I could hardly speak,

"Neptune... Don't." I tried to say, she just smirked and crouched down next to me, still holding my hand,

"Don't worry Hikan, I won't let anyone hurt you." she said, then she lifted up my hair that was covering my forehead and kissed it, the pain was too much that I couldn't even act flustered or embarrassed, she got up and turned to IF, "Iffy, make sure Hikan, doesn't interfere, he's had enough." she said, IF nodded and came up behind me, I watched as Neptune and Black Heart charged at each other, then the battle began.


Third Person POV

Neptune and Black Heart both flew into the air and started to clash, they both were evenly matched, they knew each others moves, and would not give each other a moments rest, only there was one problem, Neptune had finished her battle with Hikan vs the black knight, she was still tired, but she had to win, she had to win for Hikan, she was angry at this woman that hurt Hikan, even though she claimed that she didn't do anything, Hikan was fine until she showed up, they clashed together and their sword collided with each other,

"I'm impressed Purple Heart, you can still fight even after a long hard battle, that's what I expect from the CPU of Planeptune." Black Heart said,

"CPU of Planeptune? What are you talking about?" Neptune said, She didn't even know who she was, due to amnesia,

Black Heart thought to herself "so she did lose her memory, then it's true!" she started laughing as she pushed back, "HAHAHAHA, that's amazing!" she said outloud, Neptune gave her a surprised look,

"What's so funny?" she said, Black Heart wiped a tear from her eye,

"Oh, nothing important." She said, this might be the chance to eliminate Purple Heart from the Console War, "I think this battle between us has gone on long enough, time to end this!" she yelled and charged at Neptune, she gave off a few barrages of combos, while Neptune stood her ground trying to block them, but she was too worn out to block the last ones. Black Heart was about to finish it with one of her combo's, Lace Ribbon Dance, but was interrupted by a sight that everyone was surprised by,

Hikan was now in between Neptune and Black Heart, with a red aura surrounding him, his eyes were glowing with a blood red glow, and was looking straight at Black Heart, he had the looks of killing whoever got in his way,

"I...Had...Enough." he said, his voice was deep, Neptune had a look of fear, whatever happened to Hikan, she knew this wasn't him.

"Hikan, No don't interrupt wi-" Neptune was silenced when Hikan held his hand up, there was a little marking on it, but she didn't know what it meant

"Neptune... not now..." He said, his voice was angry, but it still had that clam tone to it,

"You think you can end a fight that we CPU's have fought for centuries?" Black Heart said putting a hand on her hip, Hikan smirked,

"I plan on doing that anyway." he said, Black Heart had a surprised look, this guy was definitely something if he thinks he could challenge the CPU's, but why was he with Purple Heart if he was going to get rid of them?

"Well, if it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get!" she said getting into a battle stance, Hikan smiled some more, the marking on his hand started to glow and then a sword started to materialize in front of him, the sword was a black blade with red highlights in it, he took the blade and got into his battle stance, Neptune continued to look at him, This couldn't have been him, Hikan never had this sort of look, what happened to him?

Hikan and Black Heart charged at each other and both swung a barrage of combo's Hikan was able to keep up with all that went on, despite his injured arm, they both slashed and collided their sword and locked themselves in a deadlock,

"I'm impressed, you seem to be very good with a sword, even with an injured arm." she said, Hikan just laughed

"Really? I'm not impressed with you one bit, Aren't CPU's supposed to defeat their opponents in one swing?" He taunted, Black Heart had a look of anger, and pushed Hikan back and sliced, he ducked under it and elbowed Black Heart in the stomach,

"Gah!" Black Heart grunted and flew back, how was this guy that strong? he got injured in the fight with the black knight, and yet she couldn't even hit him once.

"Pathetic, are you really a CPU?" he taunted again, Black Heart couldn't stand him,

"SHUT UP!" she yelled and charged him, "Lace Ribbon Dance!"

"I've had enough." Hikan replied, he stood his ground and held out his hand, the mark on his hand started to glow again, then a blast of fire came out of his hand, everyone stood surprised as Hikan canceled out Black Heart's signature attack and end the battle in a short amount of time.

He started to walk up to Black Heart, with his sword in hand "well, well, well, so this is how the great CPU of Lastation ends huh? Too bad." he raised his sword up into the air, his smile grew wider, and wider,

"Hikan! Stop!" Neptune yelled as she ran up to him and clung to his back, "Hikan! please stop! you're not yourself!" Neptune begged, Hikan didn't turn around, he kept his sword in the air,

"Not myself... yeah you're right I'm not, I'm much better now!" he said, Neptune grabbed his hand to prevent him from swinging his sword,

"Hikan... please stop..." Hikan finally turned around and looked at Neptune, she was crying, Hikan felt something in his head, he knew he screwed up, the glowing in his eyes finally died out, and so did the red aura around him, then the voice in his head started to talk,

"Dammit, I was so close!" the voice said, Hikan wasn't paying attention though, he was now back in control of his body, he held Neptune in his arms as she cried into his chest,

"Neptune, I'm so sorry..." He apologized, Neptune looked up at him,

"Hikan... *hic* please, don't leave me again." Hikan was angry at himself and the voice for what happened, he told the voice to save Neptune, but not kill anyone, which he was about to do again, not only that, he made Neptune cry, something he never wanted to do,

Meanwhile, IF and Compa were watching from afar at the scene that just played out,

"Hikan..." Compa said on the verge of tears herself,

"Dammit, he did it again!" IF said stomping her foot to the ground, all of them were so worried about Hikan, he had such immense power, and he loses control of it if he isn't careful, While everyone was focusing on Hikan, Black Heart took the chance to safely escape without anyone noticing her,

Far away from where all the events happened, the mysterious figure stood there watching, "So, Hikan is in the area? why is he here in my soon-to-be nation?" the figure said to himself, he walked off back into a cave and disappeared...


Hikan's POV

It was now night time, we decided to camp for the night in the forest. Neptune had reverted back into her regular form and was sleeping peacefully beside me her head was resting on my shoulder, Compa fell asleep first, and IF insisted that she would take first shift, but I volunteered and said that she should get some rest, I was watching the fire, Dammit! why did I do that!

"Hey! we need to talk!" I said in my head,

"What do you want?" the voice replied in a annoyed tone

"Why the hell do you try to kill the people that you fight?!" I yelled at the voice, he started to laugh,

"I thought that's what you wanted? you said to save Neptune, and I did." the voice said,

"I said to save Neptune and DON'T kill anyone!" I yelled again,

"Do you ever shut the hell up? listen you said that you wanted to save Neptune, but what I am, no, what WE are, we can't expect a miracle can we?" What "we" are?

"What do you mean?" I asked,

"It's time to tell you who I really am." he said, I finally get to know who's been living in my head,

"Alright I'm listening." I said

"Alright, pay attention." The voice said...


*Flashback*

the boy was running from some of the guards, he knew the area well, and was able to avoid them easily, Only to end up tripping and falling onto some broken glass, the glass went through his left leg and was bleeding profusely, He didn't know what to do... he was never taught how to tie a knot or anything, all he could do was apply pressure onto the wound and hope the bleeding would stop, he sat there for at least 30 minutes, then was able to start walking again, but ended up running into someone

"Hmm?" the man turned and looked at the boy, who looked up and looked at his face, he had dark brown eyes, his hair was jet black, and he had a scar over his left eye, "Is there something you need?" the man said, as he crouched down to the boy

"food..." the boy said, he pointed at his stomach, he needed to eat something,

"Hmm, alright, come with me boy. I'll be taking care of you from now on." the man said, getting back up and started walking, "do you have a name?" the man asked the boy

"name...?" the boy replied, he didn't know what a name is, all he's ever been called was "dumbass" or "mistake".

"You don't have a name do you? Alright I'll just call you Hikan then. you can call me Saito." the man said, then both of them walked off into the night...

*Flashback end*


... I was speechless, the man in my head turned out to be my stepdad, except he prefers if I called him Saito,

"Now you know who I am, Do you remember?" Saito said,

"yeah, somewhat... but why are you in my head?" I replied, I didn't know what to think,

"My time had passed and I was able to cheat death a little bit, now I live in your head." Saito said, I gotta say it's alot better to call him by a name than just "the voice in my head"

"But still, you can't go and kill whoever you want, sure I want to save others, but can we try not to kill other people or not, speaking of which, do you know why my head hurts from time to time?" I asked, Saito went silent then spoke up

"Probably because that's you trying to remember your memories, yeah, you're also an amnesiac, just like your lover beside you." again with the lover stuff, but I lost my memory? I guess it can be true, since I forgot my stepdad.

"Still, I'll only use you for emergency situations. Deal?" I said to him

"Deal." he replied, Neptune cuddled up next to me more, this girl really did care about me, and what did I do? I made her cry.

"Neptune." I said outloud, I put my hand on her cheek, and looked at her face, I leaned in close, and kissed her forehead, like she did to me before the battle with Black Heart.

"I won't make you cry ever again..." I said, Why was I saying this stuff? I never thought about this, but I might seriously be falling in love with Neptune, I just couldn't stand to see her crying face, it's a face I never wanted to see again. Before I could think anything else, I fell into a deep sleep.


A/N: Sorry that I had no skit today and for the short chapter, I couldn't think of anything, but I know what you guys will probably say to me, why do you not have the story going in Neptune's POV, or isn't it too early for Hikan and Nep to start sharing feelings for each other? Well, not really, Do not worry, everyone will have their chance with him, and besides, Hikan needed t o get a boost anyway. Also, I think it's easier to talk in third person when there is a bunch of people around, and when Nep decides to do something alone, then I'll have it by her POV. Also Also, I updated my upload schedule, I will now be uploading between 8 to 10 PM, That's all I wanted to say, thanks for reading and I hope to see you in the next chapter!
