Chapter 42

Akumu's POV

"*yawn*" I walked back into the room where the CPU's were and sat down in my chair, that took alot out of me… Saito was right, using this power takes alot.

No matter, I have Hikan captive and soon he'll be ready for extracting, only problem is he pretty much killed all of my scientists… i'll have to do it myself later, but what's wrong with having a little fun?

I opened a panel on the wall and pressed a few buttons and soon a TV materialized in front of my chair, I pressed another button and soon popping sounds could be heard, then I turned on the TV and switched to the security feeds, I left it on Hikan's room and it showed him sitting on the chair of the extracting machine, all I need to do is activate it, but I want to have some fun!

"...Stop… no more…" he started muttering, seems that nightmare he's having is doing okay,

*Ding!*

I held out my hand and a bowl of popcorn materialized in my hand, I sat it on my lap and kicked my feet up, time to relax a little bit!


Third Person POV

While Akumu watched the security feed and Hikan goes through his worst nightmare, the CPU's are left in their own nightmares, but now that comes to an end…

Noire's eyes began to slowly open since she was the first to be put to sleep, she looked over at Akumu and saw him eating popcorn and watching the security feed, the only thing she thought was "what the hell is wrong with him?!"

She and the other goddesses were tied up in one rope and she tried to get out of it, "why can't I transform?" Noire thought to herself and Akumu turned in his chair,

"I wouldn't bother, those ropes I made with the last of the power of the anti-crystals, not even a CPU can break them." Akumu said as he set his popcorn aside and pulled his chair up to the goddesses,

"I knew you would wake up, I can only seem to hold four people asleep at once." Akumu stated and Noire glared at him,

"Where's Hikan? What did you do to him!" Noire warned and Akumu smiled,

"He's fast asleep, soon though he won't have his power… or life. Whichever come firsts." Akumu said with a shrug and Noire gritted her teeth,

"Why… why are you doing this to Hikan! He wanted nothing to do with this!" Noire yelled at Akumu, which caused him to sigh,

"Why do you have to ask that? Fiiiiine, I'll fill you all in on the details…" Akumu muttered and then snapped his fingers,

All the other goddesses started to wake up and then looked around,

"Where are we?" Blanc asked as she tried to rub her eyes, but couldn't because of the rope,

"Good afternoon everyone, I see you're all up." Akumu stated and Neptune squinted her eyes at him,

"You look too much like Hikan… dude, seriously change your look." Neptune stated and Akumu put his hand over his heart,

"Ouch, Neptune that hurts a lot you know? I at least thought keeping Hikan's look would make you a little happy…" Akumu muttered then shrugged, "Whatever, I woke you all up to tell you this story, you can thank Noire for it since she wants to know."

"Don't try and bring this back on me!" Noire yelled and Akumu started laughing,

"Alright! Get comfy everyone, cause this is going to be a long one, but i'll try and make it short." Akumu started and all of the goddesses stared at him,

"Now, let's go back all the way to the beginning before Hikan was all goody goody with you guys, before Hikan turned into the good guy, Saito was caring for him as a father and then Hikan started to fight, he was an outstanding fighter and used his power well, the older he got the more power he would get, but the only problem was he couldn't control it, so where did that end up?" Akumu explained, like he was in a classroom as a teacher.

"Well, I'll answer it for you, my birth! Hikan went through some bad times when he was a kid, so the dark feelings inside him began to grow and soon Saito found out, Saito used the technology at his disposal to allow that darkness to develop feelings and talk and such, which was me. I was tasked to control the power in Hikan if he lost control, which I did for a while, but soon I got bored of it and when Hikan and Shizuki left The Saviors and Hikan lost his memory, I came back into Hikan's life as the so-called voice in his head and then was called Saito, I used Hikan to allow me to go through with my plans and take out The Saviors, so Hikan used me to kill Kinoshita, Nagana, Arfoire, and Saito." Akumu kept explaining,

"Now that all of them are gone and Hikan is now captured, you guys are captured, nothing can stop me from taking over Gamindustri, I can make this world my own playpen!" Akumu finished, everyone just stared him.

"Same old evil villain stuff… it's gets old you know…" Neptune muttered and Akumu shrugged,

"Hey! At least I'm trying! It's not my fault that the author of this fic can't come up with anything else." Akumu retorted, he even breaks the fourth wall…

"You see that brings up another point, the only reason I was able to capture Hikan is because he gets fooled too easy, you say something to him about you four and he'll do anything." Akumu also said,

"Hikan will stop you, he's Gamindustri's hero!" Neptune stated and Akumu stared at her,

"Hero…? Mghf! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh that's too good!" Akumu said while laughing, he couldn't stop, "Hikan a hero? Yeah right!"

"Hikan is the only one that can help Gamindustri now." Vert stated and Akumu shook his head,

"Not anymore, he's fast asleep in his own nightmare. Besides, you all know that he's going to die." Akumu stated and pulled his chair back to the TV, "Well, i'm gonna finish my popcorn and watch more of this, here i'll even turn up the volume for you." Akumu stated as he brought up the panel again, he pressed a button and the volume increased,

"Please… I'm sorry…" Hikan muttered in his sleep, the goddesses stared at the screen with worried looks,

"Hikan you need to wake up!" Noire yelled and Akumu grinned,

"You wish it was that easy." Akumu muttered as he continued to eat his popcorn and stare at the screen…


Meanwhile in Hikan's dream...

"Gah! Gah! Gah!" Hikan repeated to stab myself with his sword, but his wound would keep healing itself, the only thing he thought was "why couldn't I kill myself!"

"I don't want to live anymore… after what I done…" Hikan looked back and saw the corpses of his once called friends… he did all of that, everything… it was him…

"Please, just kill me! I CAN'T TAKE THIS!" he yelled, but all he heard was his own echo, he didn't want to live anymore,

"Shizuki… IF… Compa… Histy… Ozaki… everyone… they're all probably dead…" Hikan muttered,

"You know, you talk too much." A voice said, Hikan looked up and looked around, but saw no-one,

"Who's there… if you want to kill me… go ahead." he stated and heard another voice laughing,

"As much as I would love too, we're not going to." the other voice said, these voices sound familiar,

"Hikan, now is not the time to give up." again another voice said, these voices sounded so familiar, but it can't be.

Hikan turned around again and was greeted by three familiar faces, "What are you doing here?" he asked them, behind Hikan were the three members of The Saviors, Nagana, Kinoshita, and Saito.

"This is your nightmare after all, so it would make sense why we're here." Nagana said with a smile,

"Trust me, I would love to fucking kill you right now, but I can't." Kinoshita snarled, Saito walked up to Hikan,

"Hikan, you can't give up." he said and Hikan stared at them,

"What's the point, this dream will soon be a reality if I do go back, I might as well stay here." Hikan stated and Nagana started laughing,

"Is that really something my old rival would say?" Nagana said with a smile,

"As much as we hate to help you, we would rather have the CPU's run Gamindustri, than some damn psycho." Kinoshita said and Saito nodded,

"It's up to you to help Gamindustri Hikan, the CPU's need your help." Saito said and Hikan looked at Nagana and Kinoshita, they were both nodding,

"You're right, I fell for Akumu's trick." Hikan stated and Saito put his hand on my shoulder.

"Good luck." Saito stated and Hikan's eyes started to glow again and then started to fade away, once he was fully gone, Nagana walked up behind Saito,

"You forgot to warn him you know." Nagana said and Saito shook his head,

"He'll know when the time is right…" Saito said…


Back into the real world, Akumu and the CPU's were still watching the screen, but something caught their eye, Hikan's arms started to twitch and soon the red aura appeared around him, his eyes shot open and they were no longer the same eyes he once had,

Hikan's eyes were now full red, with one black dot replacing the pupil, Akumu was stunned about what he was seeing,

"Huh, he broke out? That's a new one." he stated and got out of his chair, red lights started to flash on the screen and soon Hikan broke the restraints on his arms and ankles and stood up, he looked at the camera and soon, the camera's film died.

"I told you Hikan would be up!" Neptune yelled and Akumu looked over at them,

"Shame, I was really enjoying the time we had." Akumu stated and walked over to the wall and pressed another button, then a door opened and he started to walk through it, "See ya all later!" he said and then laughed,

Soon a rumble shook the whole building,

"We need to get out of these rope!" Noire yelled and tried to break free, but only ended up catching her elbow on Neptune's back,

"Ow! Nowa! Could you not hit me now!" Neptune yelled,

"It's no use, these ropes won't break that easily." Vert stated and Blanc nodded,

"Yes, it's best to wait for Hikan to get here." Blanc agreed, "now can you please stop hitting my damn back!" she yelled,

The building kept rumbling over and over again and soon the door was being beat on.

*Bang! Bang!*

Then the door broke off it's hinges and Hikan walked in, holding a Savior member by his neck. He looked over at the CPU's and snapped the members neck and dropped him, then walked over to the CPU's.

"Hikan?" Neptune called out to him, then Hikan raised his hand and a sword materialized in it, then raised it into the air "Hikan!" Neptune and the other goddesses shut their eyes.

"...huh?" the rope broke off and the goddesses were free, they looked at Hikan and his face stayed the same, he pointed towards the door and motioned for the goddesses to follow him.

"Escape…" Hikan muttered, then a sound of a unlocking mechanism resonated in the room, then a piece of the wall came off and flew towards Hikan,

"Hikan, watch out!" Noire yelled and Hikan turned around, but the piece of the wall already hit him and smashed against the wall, dust flew off from where it hit the opposite wall,

Hikan slowly pushed the wall out of the way and tossed it aside, he didn't have a scratch on him,

"Escape…" Hikan repeated and pointed towards the exit,

"Alright, but you're coming with!" Neptune said as she grabbed his hand and pretty much dragged him out of the room, while the other goddesses followed behind them.


They were close to the first floor, but soon more Savior members showed up,

"There they are!" one of the members said and Hikan looked over at them,

"Finally, something to-" before Noire could finish, Hikan vanished from sight and appeared in front of the members, then materialized a sword and sliced at them, a slash wave resonated from his sword and cut through the members, leaving nothing left.

"Hikan… he's so strong." Blanc stated and Hikan looked back at them, he tilted his head as if saying "what are you waiting for?".

The group started walking again towards the exit, then it turned into an all out sprint when a trap activated, a boulder crashed down behind them and started rolling, Hikan stood his ground ready to stop it, but both Noire and Neptune grabbed both his arms and basically carried him out of the boulders way.

The group broke out through the doors and Hikan grabbed all the goddesses and jumped into the air, avoiding the boulder.

"Hikan, just saying that you should stop using that power." Neptune suggested and Hikan tilted his head,

"Why…?" he replied in a low tone,

"Well… because there isn't going to be any enemies from here on out, you should save your strength when we're back in Gamindustri." Noire agreed and Hikan stared at them then nodded,

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again and they were back to their normal features.

"Alright, let's go." Hikan stated normally as he began to walk again, the goddesses stared at him from behind with worried looks,

"Hikan…" Blanc muttered and then started following him, along with the rest of the goddesses, something about Hikan was changing.


After a bit of a sprint, they were all nearing the way that Hikan came through, Hikan thought that if he used his power on the same spot, the portal might open again.

"There it is!" Hikan said as they neared the exit, once they reached it, the goddesses looked around,

"Hikan, I hope your power didn't make you blind, cause I don't see anything." Neptune said and Hikan stepped in the middle of the area,

"Let's see then…" he said, fire appeared over his fist and he punched the ground, soon the area started to glow red and the portal started to rise up, "I knew it, Akumu would need a way to escape if he did require my power."

"Well, time to go then!" Neptune said and started to push Hikan, but he wouldn't move,

"I'm not going with you." Hikan stated and turned around, The goddesses stared at him.

"Why not?! You came all this way to get us and now you say you're not leaving?!" Noire said shocked and Hikan glanced over in the direction of the building,

"I'm going to finish this." he stated and started to walk back, but Neptune grabbed his arm,

"No! You can't go back!" Neptune argued and Hikan looked at her from over his shoulder,

"I have to, if I don't Akumu will just come back and try to kill you guys again, I can't allow that." Hikan stated and Neptune shook her head,

"No! If you go back, you'll die!" She yelled and Hikan looked at the others, they had the same gazes at Shizuki and IF did when he first came here.

"Hikan, please don't go, come back with us." Blanc said quietly, Hikan stared at them, but he made up his mind.

"I'm sorry. You guys mean the world to me, I won't allow anyone to hurt you ever again." He said and then his eyes started glowing, Neptune let go of his arm and started to blow on her hands, his arms started to light on fire as he stepped back and raised his hands, then a wall of flames appeared, separating Hikan and the goddesses.

"HIKAN!"

"COME BACK HIKAN!"

"PLEASE DON'T GO!"

They were all yelling for Hikan, but Hikan started walking towards the central building again, he shut his eyes and when he opened them again, his eyes were back to red with the black pupil.

"Kill…" Hikan muttered, the only thing on his mind was to kill the voice that had been fucking with him in this whole fanfic, Akumu...
