Chapter 41

Hikan's POV

"Grah!" I slashed at a Savior member and dodged a sword slash to my left, then another Savior member ran at me and I tripped his feet out from under him and grabbed his arm,

I slashed at his arm and my sword cut through it and I ripped his arm clean off, blood splattered against my face and clothes, the two Savior members dropped instantly and I continued my path through the Planeptune hideout.

Upon reaching the room with the destroyed machine in the middle, I saw a new open path right behind it and went inside, the corridor was lit up and it led down to a door, I walked towards the door and put my ear against it and heard voices on the other side of the door, I stepped back about two steps.

I took a deep breath and ran towards the door and kicked it, the door flew off it's hinges into the room, it hit a Savior member and a splatter of blood was left where the door laid, then I slashed at the other Savior member and he dropped without any resistance.

I was now left alone in the room with the transporter Akumu was talking about, it was hooked up to a transfer node and was waiting to be used, Akumu really was waiting for me.

"Here goes nothing…" I muttered as I walked onto the transporter, the next thing I knew is that it activated and soon a white light developed me, hang on everyone, I'm coming…


When the light died down, I was in a clearing there were paths leading in separate directions and when I turned around, all I saw was the sky, when I looked down I saw Gamindustri, it looks like I'm in Celestia.

I need to find them, but where will these paths lead? I'm guessing they lead above the nations, which would explain why so many people are getting into the nations, I need to find everyone or Akumu.

I started walking the path on the left, you could barely see anything thanks to the trees, what I didn't understand was that there were no guards around anywhere.

I would have continued walking, but I smelt something, this smell… It was blood! I ran through the trees where the smell was coming from and I found a blood trail that led behind a tree, I materialized my sword again and walked cautiously over towards it, I heard coughing and gasping, when I went around the tree, A horrific sight was waiting for me…

"S-S-Saito…?" I called out, lying on the ground leaning against the tree was Saito, his stomach region had been completely ripped open and blood was oozing out, his mouth was covered in blood and he had a hard time breathing,

"Hikan… Is that… You?" Saito called out, I crouched down next to him and looked at him shocked,

"Yeah it's me, what happened to you?" I asked him and he coughed up more blood,

"Akumu… He betrayed me… My men turned against me…" He answered, I know this guy is my enemy, but he was also my stepfather…

"I warned you that this would happen, you should of joined me when I found you again!" I yelled and Saito smiled,

"The goddesses were right, you have changed… But we chose our sides…" Saito said before coughing up more blood,

"Why! You could have lived! You could have been the stepfather I needed!" I yelled and Saito looked up at me,

"Boy, are you crying?" He asked me and I glared at him,

"It didn't have to end this way, *sniff* the CPU's could have helped us, *hic*." I struggled to say, Saito continued to stare at me.

"You really have changed boy, before all of this you were emotionless and didn't care about anything, now you're here crying on my behalf, even though I'm your enemy." Saito said, I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked at Saito again.

"I'm sorry Saito…" I muttered and Saito smiled at me,

"Don't apologize boy, just do me… One last… Favor…" Saito struggled to say and I looked at him,

"What is it." I stated, Saito put his hand in the air and I grabbed it,

"Stop… Akumu… And save… Gam...in...dust...ri…" Saito said and then his eyes shut and his grip loosened a bit,

"S-S-Saito… SAITO!" I yelled and punched the ground, I know he was my enemy, but he is still my step dad!

I laid Saito on the ground and looked at his hands, his gloves were still in good shape… I'll borrow them…

I took Saito's gloves and slipped them on my hands, a perfect fit and they feel comfy, Saito… Rest in peace.

I got off the ground and looked over back to the path, my arm started to shake again and my eyes started to glow, he killed Saito… He hurt my friends… He keeps harassing me over and over… Akumu, I will make sure you die the most painful death!

I ran out of the trees and back onto the path and looked ahead, I saw a building where I was heading and I ran full sprint towards it, my speed increased so much that I was able to reach it in a couple of seconds, I looked at the building and pulled my hand back, soon a ton of Savior members ran out and I charged a fireball in my hand and threw it towards them, they all were engulfed in flames and it hit the building, almost destroying the entire building.

One member was able to put himself out and was in excruciating pain, I walked over to him and grabbed him by the shirt collar,

"Where is Akumu." I stated and he spat in my face,

"He's in the center building, go ahead and go to him, he's going to kick your ass anyway!" The member sneered, my hand ignited on fire and started to burn his throat, he tried to escape and get out of my grip by thrashing around, he looked like a fish out of water,

Once he was fully dead, I dropped him and started to walk again, "thanks for the info." I stated before walking forward again…


After about 30 minutes or so, I was at the center of Celestia, truth be told there was a building in there, except it was a tall building… Time for the classic RPG segment for a game, climb the tower and the higher you go, the more powerful the bosses are.

I entered the first floor and saw nothing, is it going to be like random encounters? I began to walked through the tower and found some stairs that led up, on top of the stairs were guards with some traps set up at the top of the stairs,

"Now!" one guard yelled and a bunch of rocks flew down towards me, I raised my hands and grabbed the rocks and started to hold them, each rock got stuck on the other until there were no more, then a little flame sparked in my palms and shot up towards them, sending a bunch of fiery rocks towards the guards,

"I don't have time for you…" I muttered, my voice was getting deeper and I kept going.

I kept going forward and eventually I got to the last floor, a bunch of guards tried to fight me, but they all ended up dead like the rest, the only thing remaining was the long ass corridor.

Once I got to the end, there was a path to turned left, right before I could walk around, a random blast came out from the hall and went right past my face,

"Hm?" I looked around the corridor and saw a familiar person,

"HIIIIIKAAAAAN!" the person yelled in a demonic voice, he didn't look the same as he did before, his skin was now pitch black instead of the usual pale white and his eyes were glowing with a blood red glow, almost the same as mine, the person's outfit was a standard Lowean captain guard outfit, only the left piece of the all the armor was destroyed and his left arm was some kind of mutant claw,

"You are… the previous captain of the Lowean guard? Ozaki said that Akumu killed you." I said and the "demonic" captain we'll call it, started laughing,

"ONLY TO GIVE ME A SECOND CHANCE, AKUMU DOESN'T NEED YOU ALIVE IN ORDER TO TAKE YOUR POWER!" the demon captain yelled, and I shook my head,

"I honestly will never believe why Blanc made you captain in the first place…" I muttered and the demon captain stomped his foot,

"SHUT UP AND DIE!" he yelled again and raised his mutant arm in the air then started to charge another blast, he shot it towards me and I intercepted it with a fire blast of my own, making a bunch of smoke appear, the demon captain dashed towards me through the debris and slashed at me with his claw arm, I dodged it and stepped back two steps and materialized my sword again, the demon captain charged at me again and slammed his mutant arm down, I caught it with my sword and held my ground,

"You really think you can beat me?" I asked and the demon captain grinned,

"ALL I WANT TO DO IS KILL YOU!" he yelled and began to charge another blast in his mutant arm, I pushed him back and jumped up in the air and came down at him, he shot his beam towards me and I blocked it,

The beam was strong, I was losing my grip on my sword and eventually it knocked the sword out of my hands and left me open, the beam then charged towards me and I raised my hands, I flew back towards the wall with the beam in my palms, it was burning my hands and only a few inches away from coming into contact with my stomach,

Flames started to appear in my palms and it slowly pushed the beam away from me, but the demon captain had other plans, I looked over to my right and he was running on the wall towards me, he jumped and slammed his arm down where I was, I jumped out of the way and the wall collapsed.

"HIIIIIKAAAAAN!" The demon captain yelled and ran straight towards me, I materialized another sword and raised it into the air,

"I had enough of you." I stated and ran towards him, the both of us readied our weapons and sliced at one another once, my sword disappeared and I began to walk in the direction of the next door, the demon captain turned around and ran at me again.

"I'LL KILL YOU-" before he could finish his sentence, his stomach began to glow and then he exploded, his blood went all over the walls, ceiling, and my back.

I just kept walking towards the last door, if he was supposed to be the final boss of this tower before Akumu, then i'm disappointed…

I opened the door and walked into the room, it was dark and I couldn't see anything, but I knew there was something wrong, then I heard a chair squeak,

"Hello Hikan, long time no see." a familiar voice said, I looked around and clenched my fists,

"Where… are you?" I said outloud and I heard him laugh,

"I'm here." Akumu said and a flash of light turned on and sitting in a chair at the far end of the room was him, he was resting his head on his hand and was grinning at me,

I started to walk towards him and he held his hands up, "I wouldn't step any closer Hikan, we don't want anything to happen to your precious CPU's now would we?" Akumu said and I stopped in my tracks,

"What did you do to them…" I snarled and Akumu grinned even more,

"I didn't do anything." He said and snapped his fingers, another light came on and flashed over to the left, I looked over and saw the CPU's all tied up and asleep, "I'll continue to do nothing as long as you agree on these terms." Akumu said and I glared at him,

"I keep telling you, this is between you and me." I warned and Akumu grinned,

"I know, that's why I said i'll let them go if you agree on these terms." Akumu stated and I clenched my fists,

"What do you want?" I asked and Akumu sat up,

"Simple, surrender yourself and give me your power and i'll let your precious girls go." Akumu said, I looked over at everyone then back to Akumu, "What's it going to be?" he said, I looked back over to the CPU's.

"If I give you this power, will you please leave them alone…" I said and looked back at Akumu,

"*sigh* to get what I want, I got to give something at an equal price. fiiiiine, I won't go after the CPU's." Akumu agreed and I nodded,

"I surrender." I stated and got on my knees, I heard Akumu get out of his chair and walk over to me,

"Splendid!" he said and ran at me, I looked up at him and he was too fast, I tried to react, but he was already behind me.

He grabbed my arm and slapped his hand over my mouth, "Hehehehee! Finally! Night-night Hikan!" he said, I felt my power seep away from me, I could no longer move, my eyes were growing heavy and I can't see anymore… everyone… I'm sorry…


...huh? What happened? Where am I?

I looked around the area I was in, it was a field, the sun's rays were shining down on me and there flowers were blooming, there were no trees around and you could see the city of Planeptune in the distance, what happened here?

I stood up and fell over again, my legs felt like jelly, where's Akumu and everyone else? I'm pretty sure I passed out when I got to Akumu,

I looked at the ground then I heard something, then saw a pair of legs walking towards me, I started to look up and soon I saw a bunch of familiar faces,

"Everyone…" I said, all of the CPU's were in front of me and they were in their CPU forms, Vert was the green haired girl and Blanc was the blue haired I'm guessing. "What happened to Akumu?" I asked them,

"We took care of him, he was about to kill all of us when he took you out." Noire stated, so I did pass out, but they beat him?

"So he's dead?" I said again and they nodded,

"No thanks to you." Vert said and I looked at her,

"I'm sorry, I tried to do something, but he tricked me." I said in my defense, but it looks like it didn't help,

"That's the point, you get tricked too much, if someone storms into Gamindustri and you try and stop them, they can just trick you into killing yourself!" Blanc yelled, I looked at them stunned,

"It's not my fault, if they mention you guys…" I muttered, why are they saying this…

"In fact, having you here is dangerous itself." Noire pointed out and I stepped back a little.

"What are you saying?!" I said confused and they all materialized their weapons, the worse part was Neptune was silent the whole time, "Neptune… even you?"

"Prepare yourself." Neptune stated and she started walking towards me,

"Wait… stop!" I yelled and Noire charged me,

"Enough talking!" she yelled and slashed her sword down at me, I rolled out of the way and got back to my feet real quick,

"Stop! Please!" I begged and dodged an attack from Blanc, I don't want to fight them…

Vert threw her spear at me and I grabbed the hilt and blocked Noire's sword with it, "I don't want to fight you all! Please stop now!" I yelled, but the spear disappeared in my hands and Noire got a hit on me, my shoulder started to bleed,

This is a nightmare! It has to be! Please stop it!

Neptune flew down towards me and slashed at me with her sword, I raised my hand and grabbed her sword, "Neptune, please stop! It's me! Hikan!" I tried to persuade her, but only took a hit from behind, Noire slashed at my back and now I was bleeding from by back, this hurts so much, but this is a dream…

"Now!" Neptune yelled and all at once the goddesses came at me, I just stood there and looked up at them, what's the point… they don't like me… i'm just a dangerous person… all because of my power…

"GAAAAAAH!" I screamed in pain as all of the goddesses hit me with all of their weapons, I felt every part of me break and blood gush out of me… this is what I deserve…

"I control these dreams, and I think this is too easy for you… you need to suffer more!" I heard Akumu's voice, this is a dream…

I heard the sound of flames and soon, my body started to move on it's own, I materialized a sword in my hand and looked over at the goddesses, they were watching me with wide eyes,

"How is he alive?!" Noire yelled confused, I felt a smile spread across my lips,

"I can never die!" I yelled and charged towards Noire, she had no time to react and I shot my hand towards her and it went through her stomach and popped out of her back, Noire coughed up blood and looked at me, I was smiling from ear to ear, "Lose your lunch?"

I pulled my hand out and slashed her with my sword, she fell on her knees and went out of her CPU form and collapsed,

"You bastard!" Blanc yelled and dashed towards me, I blocked her axe and grabbed her arm, I twisted her arm, knocking the axe out of her grip and grabbed her by her throat, lifting her into the air,

"Blanc!" Vert and Neptune both yelled and charged at me, I felt a surge of power go into my arm and I punched the ground, sending a wall of flames around me and forcing Neptune and Vert to stop,

"Gh… Can't breath…" Blanc muttered and I tightened my grip on her throat,

"Eheheheh~! Poor poor Blanc… can't even fight me back…" I said and brought her close to my face, "Don't worry… you won't be alone…" I whispered and stabbed her stomach, she coughed up blood and spat it all over my face, I licked the blood off and smiled even more.

The wall of flames died down and I dropped Blanc, I looked over at Neptune and Vert, "Which one of you is next?" I asked and they had looks of fear, "Don't worry, you'll all be together~!" I stated and charged towards both of them, I slashed at Neptune and she blocked it with her sword, then I jumped in the air and kicked off Neptune and zoomed over to Vert, before she could react I sliced at her head and landed behind her body, I had Vert's head in my hands and was observing it,

"Not really attractive to be honest." I stated and threw the head, I looked over towards Neptune and she was pretty much shaking, I smiled more and more as I started walking towards her, "Well Neptune, I told you it was me… the better me… the classic me… THE. REAL. ME!" I said and Neptune wouldn't move, I stuck my tongue out of my mouth and began to lick my lips,

"Don't worry… It won't take long~!" I said as soon as I was in front of her, I materialized another sword and stabbed Neptune in the stomach and then started to slowly go upward, Neptune screamed in pain as my sword kept going up, the worse part was she was still alive… I was pretty much skinning her…

I used the other sword to stab her arms and do the same thing, she wouldn't move at all and she kept screaming and yelling, just making me smile more…

"So much for the calm Purple Heart." I said and then I did one last thing, "Night Neptune…" I muttered and slashed her head, completely severing it from her body and it dropped to the ground, her body soon fell as well.

I was the last one standing, I now had full control again and I dropped my sword, I had blood all over my hands and I dropped to my knees, "Why… just why…" I muttered, my hands began to shake and tears streamed down my face, "WHY!" I yelled, I punched the ground over and over, why did this happen! This has to be a dream! All of it!

I sat on the ground, looking at the ground and tears kept streaming down my face… I did this… It was me...
