Chapter 14

Third Person POV

While Hikan and Noire were having their private talk, Neptune and everyone were discussing what Hikan could actually be in Hikan's apartment, they were all in separate apartments, there were four different rooms, Hikan's apartment had a living area of the whole hotel apartment, there was a sofa, a TV and it was connected to the dining room, then his bedroom, then the bathroom

"Could he be a demon? He has that healing ability." IF said,

"No way! He's a main character like me, so it's one of his protagonists powers!" Neptune said,

"I doubt he's a demon Iffy, I never even seen a demon monster before, much less heard of one." Compa said, they were all wondering what he could actually be, maybe he was a demon, but will he be able to control the power he had, in all stories about demons, almost none of them were able to control their powers.

"Still, we have to keep an eye on him, I trust him and everything, but when he becomes this 'demon' we'll call it, he becomes a completely different person." IF said, as much as she didn't want it to be, she was right, Hikan was a dangerous person, if he stays like this new being, he could be the most dangerous man in Gamindustri,

"Nah, I doubt it'll happen, Hikan is a nice guy, he'll never do anything to hurt us." Neptune said putting her hands on her hips, she knew Hikan better then all of them, he'll never do anything to hurt them... would he?

Hikan and Noire came out of the room they were in and walked into the room where everyone else is, Neptune jumped up and tackled Hikan to the ground,

"Hikan! You're awake!" Neptune yelled as she sat on top of him, her arms wrapped around his neck,

"Yeah, I'm awake, so get off of me!" Hikan said, but Neptune wouldn't get off,

"No can do Hikan, I want to hug you more!" she said and squeezed him more, Noire walked up beside them and pulled Neptune off,

"Geez, get off of him!" Noire said, Neptune just looked at her and grinned,

"Oh, are you falling for him too Noire, sorry but I already called dibs on him." Neptune said, Noire's face reddened,

"I'm not falling for him! Why would I fall for someone like him!" She yelled, Hikan cringed at that, why does a tsundere's lines always hurt?

"Now's not the time for a love triangle, we need to discuss this now." IF said, Hikan and Noire nodded, Neptune just sighed, "Now Hikan explain to us what happened, we want the truth." Hikan look turned into a shocked look as everyone turned and looked at him,

"What? wait why do I have to explain it, you saw what happened and you were there too Noire." Hikan said, IF shook her head,

"We want to know what you are, you clearly have some special power, Hikan who are you?" IF said, Hikan didn't know if he could explain or not, he'll have to say everything,

"Don't mention me, it'll be bad if you do." Saito said, why would it be bad?

"Well, I don't know what I am to be honest, I know i'm not normal and I can't really say where I get the power from, but I know that I'll use it only when absolutely needed, but if you want to know about me and that 'Saviors' group, I'm just as clueless as you are, I never met them in my life, not only that but they're trying to kill me and they know me, when I was fighting Kinoshita, he said he knew me and that he would finally be able to kill me." Hikan explained, everyone stood shocked and interested in his story, whoever this so called "Saviors" group was, they weren't just after the CPU's, they were also after him.

"There's one thing you left out, who is Saito?" IF said, Hikan's eyes grew wide, he forgot that he mentioned Saito in his battle against Kinoshita,

"Sorry Saito, I can't keep you a secret now." Hikan said in his head,

"No wait, Hikan!" Saito yelled, but Hikan spoke anyway,

"Saito is my stepfather, he was killed a long time ago." Hikan said, which he shouldn't have said, his head started to throb, it was the worst one he ever felt, he clutched his skull and fell on his knees,

"Hikan stay with us!" IF yelled as she ran next to him and held Hikan up, his eyes were now glowing red, could he be losing control?

"Saito what's going on!?" Hikan yelled in his head,

"I warned you boy, I said that something bad would happen." Saito said, Hikan started to see two images, one of the images consisted of a boy standing in the middle of a field of fire, and the other was that same boy, but he had a bloodied sword in his hand and a bunch of bodies lying before him, was that him?

The pain finally stopped and Hikan took a deep breath, if those headaches were supposed to be giving him a piece of his memory back, then why did it show the one of him holding a bloody sword? Did he kill those people?

"Hikan, are you okay?" IF asked in a concerned tone, Hikan looked up at her and smiled,

"I'm fine now, don't worry, I guess I have to explain that too." Hikan said taking IF's hand off his shoulder, "Now, those moments where I get extreme headaches, those are supposed to be giving my memory back, it's slow, but I'm getting it back piece by piece, you're lucky you don't have to go through it Neptune." Hikan said looking at Neptune with a smirk.

"So, that means you're a fellow amnesiac?! This must be fate that brought us together!" she said in a excited tone, nothing stops her does it?

"Anyway, I still don't know everything about myself, and I only learned of my amnesia recently, so I was hoping that doing all of this would help get my memory back." Hikan said, IF stared in amazment, it makes sense now, all the things that happened to him, everytime he had one of those headaches, he would power up, so what would happen if he collects all of his memories?

Hikan got up off the ground, "Next the key fragments, this is mostly for you Noire, the key fragments are the reason we're going to the different nations, IF can you please hand me the key fragment you have?" Hikan said, IF reached into her pocket pulling out the fragment and tossed it to Hikan. "This is what the fragment from Planeptune looks like, it may be different in all the nations, but I decided to go ahead and show it." Noire held her hand out and Hikan placed the fragment in it,

"So this is supposed to be a key?" She asked, Hikan shook his head,

"Once all the fragments are put together, they'll all combine to make a whole key." Hikan said, Noire put the fragment back into Hikan's hand,

"What about that bad group or whatever their name is?" Neptune said, Hikan sighed, clueless as ever.

"The group is called 'The Saviors', I guess they are a group that plans to overthrow the CPU's going by what Kinoshita said, knowing that Kinoshita is now dead, they'll probably be stepping up their game, I think it'll be safe if we all travel together, just so we'll be able to deal with whoever decides to attack." I looked at Noire and she gave me a shocked look,

"I... can't go with you. I need to stay in Lastation and fix all the problems that Kinoshita guy did." She said, Hikan looked at her then smiled.

"That's fine, just be careful. Okay?" Hikan said, Noire's face reddened a bit,

"W-Worry about yourself!" Noire yelled and averted her gaze from Hikan, he just laughed,

"We'll be in Lastation a little bit longer, We'll need to find the key fragment, then we'll head to our next destination." Hikan said, he took a long breath then spoke again "Can I stop now?"

"Yeah, that's enough." IF said, Hikan took a seat on the sofa, right next to Neptune.

"So, we still need to find that fragment, where else should we look?" IF said,

"We didn't check the whole cave that we were in, maybe it could be there?" Hikan said,

"Alright we'll head there and-" IF was cut off by Neptune before she could finish her sentence,

"Hold it right there Iffy, you had your chance with Hikan, now it's my turn!" Neptune said, IF looked at her with an angry look,

"Didn't I tell you that you couldn't be around Hikan alone." IF said,

"You can't do that! I already claimed Hikan, we're the main characters of this fanfic, and we're both amnesiac's, so it's destiny that brought us together!" Neptune said,

"What if I go with him. That way you'll both be at ease." Noire said with a blushed face, Neptune looked at her with suspicious eyes,

"Noire... you're not going to try and steal him are you?" Neptune said, Noire's face reddened even more,

"W-What?! No I said it already, I'm not falling for him!" She yelled, Hikan cringed again, why does it always hurt?

"Well, it's fine, Hikan knows that it's me that he should be dating!" Neptune said clinging to Hikan's arm,

"Hey! Get offa me!" Hikan said with a blushed face,

"You're so cute when you're embarrassed!" Neptune said,

"That's enough!" Noire yelled, Hikan sighed,

"Why do I have to go through this?" Hikan thought.


Hikan's POV

Me and Noire were walking towards the cave where I fought Kinoshita, since IF still didn't trust me and Neptune to be alone together and Neptune refused to let IF go along with me, Noire stepped up and said that she would go with me, she didn't talk much and she stayed a good distance away from me, I guess she didn't want to have other people get the wrong idea,

"Hey... Hey!" Noire yelled in my ear causing me to jump a little,

"What?! Don't yell in my ear like that!" I yelled back, Noire crossed her arms over her chest,

"Why didn't you tell them the truth? I was there when you fought Kinoshita, you clearly knew what you were doing." Noire said, only it wasn't me at that killed him I guess, I don't know what happened after I passed out, all I heard Saito say was "with pleasure".

"To be honest, I don't know what happened after that, he almost killed me... but I passed out." I said, I can't mention Saito living in my head, if I do, I don't know what will happen,

"When I woke up, IF was crying and stuck in place in the wall, she told me to come and help you, when I went to check on you, you were about to be killed, what surprised me was the giant hole in your stomach, you shrugged it off like it was dust." Noire explained, that explains the scar on my stomach, but whatever Saito did, he clearly did his part well,

"How did I heal the giant hole in my stomach?" I asked,

"You just healed, an aura surrounded you and you just healed." Noire said, that red aura I'm guessing, that had to be Saito as well, would I still be alive if I never met him?

"I guess everything's alright now, but we still need to keep our guard up, who knows when the next enemy decides to show up." I said, Noire nodded, if there are other goddesses, then they'll probably be going up against the other members, if Kinoshita wanted this nation, then they're is three other members that want the other nations, I need to warn them, and I also need to get Neptune back to Planeptune, if she really is the CPU, then someone will have a clear shot to get to her, the only problem with that, who is the one after Neptune?

"Hey look, that's it up ahead." Noire said while pointing towards the cave, she also looked in another direction and her face looked shocked, "W-WHAT!" she yelled, I looked over in the direction she was looking, there was nothing there.

"What is it Noire? I don't see anything." I said, she shook her head,

"That's the point, where's Kinoshita, there's no blood or anything!" She said, his body was nowhere to be seen, he's dead... Right?

"He's dead isn't he? What if he disappears like all the other monsters like we fight?" I said, her body was shaking, what was wrong? "Hey Noire?" I said, she didn't respond, what is it? I don't see anything around us. "NOIRE!" I yelled, she finally snapped out of he trance,

"Huh?! What is it?!" she said, she began looking around in all directions, what was wrong with her?

"Hey calm down, tell me what's wrong." I said, why was she so nervous?

"If Kinoshita's body isn't there, then he could still be alive, that means he's walking around with no head!" Noire yelled, did Saito chop off his head or something?!

"No one can come back from that, calm down, he's dead Noire." I said trying to calm her down, I grabbed her arm and she looked me in the eyes, "He's dead, you got nothing to worry about, so stop being afraid." I said, she stopped shaking a bit and let out a deep breath,

"Yeah, you're right. Sorry Hikan." she apologized,

"You got nothing to be sorry for, c'mon let's see if this fragment is here." I said, she blushed a little then nodded,

We entered the cave and was greeted by a destructive battleground, the walls were busted and the floor was caved in, I guess Saito had some fun, Noire transformed into her CPU form and started to float down the floors, I never got to get a good look at her in this form, but she looks really beautiful, she looked at me and started to blush then averted her gaze from mine,

"Hey what are you staring at?" She said with a blushed face,

"Oh, uh sorry..." I said and I put a hand behind my head, she muttered something then looked at me again,

"You coming down or not?" she said in a impatient tone, I nodded, I guess this is her personality after she transforms, I jumped down the hole in the floor and landed on the next level, there was another hole in the ground and I saw a puddle of blood out of the corner of my eye,

"Man... This cave is destroyed."I said, Noire

looked at me and nodded,

"There is still one more level, then we can start looking." she said, we both jumped back down to the last level, more walls were destroyed and more blood, "let's start looking, I'll check one end, you check the other." Noire said, I nodded and she floated off in one direction, still what was wrong with her?


Noire's POV

I can't let that happen again... I won't let that happen again... no matter what, I need to get stronger, then I'll be able to protect my nation. Hikan will be there to help me also, or so he says, but I should believe him right? He doesn't seem like the type to go back on his word, except it was the same for "him" as well, why am I still thinking about this?! "He's" dead there's no doubt about it, just give up on seeing "him" again Noire! He's not coming back...

I flew down the path looking for a fragment, where could it be? Maybe it wasn't here, I kept going until I saw a dead end, I guess I head back, I started to float back, but I heard a growl, I turned around and dodged a tail swing, an Ancient Dragon!

*ROAR*

"Hmph, you'll prove a challenge!" I said while materializing my sword, he swiped his claws, they were easy to dodge, I jumped up and prepared to slash at his head, "Take this!" I said, but was interrupted by an unknown force, I couldn't move, wait not unknown, it was the same force that happened stopped me during that time, that's when "he" disappeared, the dragon used it's tail to slam me into the wall,

"Gah! huh, what?!" I hit the wall with such impact and then landed on the floor, and not only that, it knocked me out of my CPU form, what happened?!

*ROAR*

The dragon started stomping it's way towards me, I couldn't even materialize my sword, what do I do?! Someone help!

*ROAR*

I saw a burst of fire come out of the dragons mouth, someone! Hikan! I closed my eyes. The burst of fire started to come right towards me, then I heard something, then two hands clasped around my waist and pulled me out of the way, I opened my eyes and turned around, Hikan was sitting behind me, he was looking at the Dragon with an angry look, was he in that transformed phase?

"Are you alright Noire?" He asked, I was speechless, he was here to save me, he really was like "him", "Stay here, I'll take care of this." He said and he stood up and withdrew his sword, and charged the Dragon,

*ROAR*

He dodged the first attack and jumped over it's tail, his movements were faster and he looked real serious, he slashed at the dragon and I saw clusters appear, the dragon stomped the ground in response to the pain, then swung it's tail again, this time Hikan jumped and stuck his sword in the dragons tail, then pulled it out and started climbing the dragon's back, the dragon tried to shake him off, but Hikan wouldn't let go, he finally reached the dragon's head, then raised his sword and yelled "DIE PRICK!" and stabbed his sword right into the dragon's head, the dragon dropped and exploded into a thousand data clusters, Hikan stood with his blade in hand, He looked at me and smiled,

"Let's go Noire." He said, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a stone, it was the key fragment, it looked exactly the same as the other one, only it had a different symbol on it, all I did was nod,

We walked out of the cave, Hikan had his hands in his pockets and was walking in front of me, he turned around "Hey, Noire?" he said,

"Yes?!" I said surprised, he put his hand up to his chin,

"What happened, you were out of your CPU form." he said, I averted my gaze from him, I didn't want to say,

"I was knocked off guard was all!" I said crossing my arms, I heard him laugh behind me, "What's so funny?!" I said in an angered tone,

"Well, at least I heard you when I did, just be careful next time." He said, he was so mature about things, I started to blush, but he was starting to walk again,

"Hey Hikan..." I muttered, he turned and looked at me again,

"Yeah?" He said looking at my eyes, he looked so handsome... Wait, What am I thinking?!

"Stop looking at me like that!" I yelled out, Hikan had a surprised look on his face then turned again,

"Why do you have to be the Tsundere of this fanfic..." he muttered, why is he breaking the fourth wall?!


?'s POV

Nice, at least I know it works, I walked over to where the dragon's remains were and picked up the stone, I don't know if it works on Hikan though, I'll find out later.


A/N: The next chapter will be the last chapter involving Lastation, but Hikan met Noire and their relationship deepened a little bit, not only that, seems like Hikan became a real "Savior"... I'm so sorry, but thanks for reading and I hope to see you guys later!
