Chapter 38, acceptance, the pain of a sister.
Well after a while we will continue with this story that is already in its final moments, although the chapters are not as long as before, it is due to give more suspense to the battles. Each hierarch will have two or three chapters. But hey I hope you like it.
"What was that?" Rom asked, holding on to Shiro.
"It came from where onee-chan is!" Shiro said.
"She won...", said Vertex.
"Hey? What happens vertex?", I ask vert.
"she won! I defeat the hierarch of the west!" Said the candidate smiling.
Everyone was surprised by what the candidate said.
"Then the hierarch of the west was?" Rom looked at the vertex.
"defeated, blanc defeated ventus," vert said with amazement and excitement in his voice knowing that they achieved their first victory.
"She won!", Shiro cheered at her sister's victory against the hierarch.
"He was able to beat Ventus!" said an impressed vertex with a smile.
"Yay! The other onee-chan won!" Rom said happily at that.
"although it was only one, this victory means a lot to us, with this our morale will grow", said vert smiling.
"We only have three left?", questioned Rom.
"Yes, although with one less and that Blanc was able to beat him, that means we can," said Vértice.
"yes, but we shouldn't trust ourselves, in fact ventus was very complicated", said vert looking at his younger brother.
In another room of the castle.
"I beat him!" Ram and Shirou said, jumping holding hands.
"She was able to beat one of the big 4 hierarchs!" Ultra-vert said in surprise.
"heh, looks like my other self got it," said hyper-blanc.
"that's amazing shirou!"; said ram with the boy nodding.
"That shows we can handle this!" ultra-vert said.
"Yeah! Those fools sure didn't expect that!"; said blanc smiling.
"true, with this victory it is a great incentive to continue", said ultra-vert.
"Only snow, nereus and neptune are missing," said ram.
"Which of them will be next?" Blanc wondered.
"We won't know, there are also those from the CFW, who as I remember now are royal guards," Vert said, recalling that not only the hierarchs guard the castle.
"We just have to keep moving forward and see what lies ahead," Blanc said.
"don't worry another-onee-chan"; Shirou said.
"Yeah! Surely we will be able to beat everything that is put in front of us", said ram sure!, "come on shirou!"; said the girl taking her twin's hand and running through the corridors.
"God, these children really have a lot of energy for their good"; Blanc said sighing from the excitement of the two children.
"It's true, although I'm surprised how close she is with Shirou, and she's not his real twin," ultra-vert said.
"It's true, although Shirou is actually Rom, just from another reality, he may be a boy, but it seems that twin connection is there," Blanc said.
"It's true, besides, it could have also helped those years that they were together"; said ultravert.
"Right, I remember that Ram told me that she was the one who encouraged Shirou to fight," Blanc said with a small smile.
The group just continued on its way to continue advancing with this.
In another area.
"Blanc-san got it?" Nepgya questioned.
"it is safer that he did it"; said nepgeo surprised.
"This is a big boost for us!"; Uni said.
"One of them finally shut up!" Ultra-noire said in surprise.
"Yeah! We can't leave this we have to win too!"; Lady Purple heart said smiling at the first victory they had against the hierarchs.
"So our chances are better now with one less hierarch!"; said ultra-noire.
"Yes, surely my other self and Nereus didn't expect that"; said Lady Purpleheart.
"if the safest onee-chan"; nepgeo said.
"Though I wonder what they will do now?" Uni wondered.
"the safest thing is that they attack with more force now"; nepgya said.
"By the way? What about nereus?"; I ask ultra-noire. "Does it look like you want us to find him?"
"To tell the truth, I have pending accounts with him, he was the one who turned me into a cpu chaos, he had the idea of freeing me," said lady Purple heart.
"Is that so?" Nepgya asked, surprised.
"Yes, he was the one who told me to release her, and after that she was my partner"; Nepgeo said joining in as well.
"For what reason?" Uni asked.
"I don't know, I don't want him to always be alone as the only candidate left back then, although I don't know why he wanted my sister," Nepgeo said.
"the safest thing for us to be a nes team, I mean my other self had her nepgear which is a girl, and since you are a boy, you needed a female nes"; Purple heart said as she hugged her little brother.
"onee-chan!" nepgeo said laughing.
"Does the two of them seem to get along well?" Ultra-noire said.
"Yes, although I don't see you as jealous", said Uni looking at Nepgya.
"No! No! Not at all, in fact I'm happy for nepgeo, my onee-chan may not be her real sister, but she promised to be, perhaps as a way to amend the mistake she made with me, she wants to help nepgeo", said nepgya, "I know I'll compensate myself anyway, but all my pain healed with my brother, the other Neptune", said the purple-haired girl.
"true, I remember that she did everything to help you, maybe now she wants to do the same with someone who needs her now", said uni looking at nepgeo and the female neptune.
"It's true, he didn't have it easy either, no one had it, Saru was the same, at first he was shy but I was able to make him open up to me"; Noire said smiling with a small smile remembering her own brother.
"Although it could be said that we are the same people, only with different sex, each one took a different path," said Uni.
"Yes, but in the end both are very similar", ultra-noire said smiling.
The group continued talking as they made their way to the end of the hall.
In another area.
"Yay! blanny-blanny I did it!"; Plutia said.
"Yay blanny I win!" Peashy said, jumping up and down.
"This is amazing she was able to defeat one of the 4 bosses!" Nepgear said happily.
"That shows that we can defeat them"; Noire said with more determination.
In that saru began to continue walking.
"We can't continue here, remember that this doesn't end", said Saru.
"He's right, let's move on," Noire said, agreeing with the candidate.
"Does noire-san seem more determined?"; nepgear said.
"Yes, this victory means a lot to us"; said noir.
"I wonder what neppy will do now?" Plutia asked.
"We don't know, there are three hierarchs left and we know who will attack"; sarah said.
"Neptunium is coming yet?" Peashy asked.
"We don't know p-ko, although knowing him, he is most likely the last leader to face," said Noire.
"Maybe," Nepgear said.
"Knowing him, he's most likely the last hierarch to be found," Noire said seriously, "I'm prepared this time and I'll beat him up for worrying like that!"; she said cracking her knuckles.
"Are you very lively noire-chan?" Plutia asked.
"Well, we already won against a boss, maybe his morale went up," nepgear said.
"Most surely this is a hope of saving Neptune," Saru said.
"Nowa promised to bring Neptune!"; Peashy said smiling.
"and I will, once he promised you that he would save me, now I promise you that I will save him", Noire said looking at Peashy, "I will bring him and we will force him to buy us pudding", she said smiling.
"Yay!" Peashy cheered excitedly.
"I'm going to give my all to save my brother too!" Nepgear said with determination.
Meanwhile with the hierarchs.
"He can't believe they managed to beat Ventus," Nereus said seriously.
"huh, how pathetic he was the weakest of the four hierarchs," snow said.
"He was defeated by a single cpu, it is a disgrace for the 4 hierarchs", said genesis.
"It's ironic, his personality led him to his defeat, in fact Snow, if you trust yourself, you can also end up like him," said Nereus.
"be quiet! I will not fall like that inept!" Snow said angrily.
"It doesn't matter, these pests can't do anything to stop the gears that have already started to move," Genesis said.
"hahahaha, just a little more and our plans will be a reality, there will be nothing that can stop us," snow said.
"It's true, soon this dimension will come to an end," Nereus said.
"Trick!" Genesis shouted.
Then someone came from the shadows and knelt before genesis.
What was once the CFW was now a blond man in Dragon-like armor, similar in shape to his old form.
"Do I call lord genesis?" Asked the now royal guard.
"Yes, you will go with Midori to dig with the cpus, she will tell you what they will do, fulfill my order as assigned", Genesis said.
"As ordered," Trick said, disappearing.
"well at least now they are more useful now"; Nereus said.
"Yeah, even if they're just cannon fodder, at least they can buy us time and give us a little fun," Snow said, starting to walk away from Genesis and Nereus.
"Though it's a shame that everyone took a wrong path," Nereus said, looking at several holograms that showed all the CPUs along with their candidates.
"It's a pity, all of them will end up in an infinite cycle, they will just go round and round without reaching the goal"; said genesis.
"Yes, while Midori already has her prey, killing the candidates will be enough, although the safest thing to do is aim at the leanbox cpu," Nereus said.
With the hyper-noire group.
"I'm tired," said Plutia.
"It's weird that we're only dealing with low-ranking soldiers," Saru said with a frown.
"Do you have an idea, Saru?" Nepgear asked.
"No, not how these corridors work since we usually teleported, but now he can do that less," said Black Brother
"It's true, I don't like this, it's as if we just turned around," said Noire seriously.
"Neptunium!" Peashy yelled.
With the group of lady Purple heart.
"There is simply no end to this," Lady Purpleheart said.
"You're right, no matter how much progress we make, we don't get anywhere," said ultra-black heart.
"It's true, it's been a while and no other hierarch has arrived"; Uni said with a frown.
"this place was always a labyrinth, but this is already weird"; nepgeo said.
"We just have to keep walking," Nepgya said.
With hypervert.
"Despite everything, it seems that we have not made any progress," said the leanbox cpu.
"It's true and onee-chan hasn't arrived," said shiro.
"Don't worry, she said that she would rest a bit before coming, most likely she's exhausted," Vert said.
"Huh?" Vertex looked towards a place.
"What's up vertex?" rom asked looking at the leanbox candidate.
"Nothing, I just felt something familiar," said the candidate
Meanwhile with the ultra-vert group.
They would continue advancing until they reached a large empty room, the place was too big and extensive with only a few windows that gave a view of the outside.
"Well, we finally got to something, but it seems there's no one there," said hyper-blanc looking at the empty space.
"How strange?" Shirou said.
"What's wrong, Shirou?" Ram asked, looking at the boy.
"How much more do we need? We have walked the corridors for a long time and we have only met low-rank enemies "; Shirou said confused.
"It's true, until now we have faced low-ranking soldiers"; said blanc agreed.
"It's true, even the new CFW, not even another hierarch," ultra-vert said, also confused.
But suddenly the whole long corridor suddenly vanished into a large empty room.
"What is this place?" Blanc asked.
"Shirou do you know where we are?"; wonder ram
"Yeah! We are in a room where we used to train as leaders!"; Shirou exclaimed in surprise.
"So the hierarchs finally decided to attack again?!"; said blanc on guard.
"no, these actions that I feel are very familiar"; Vert said seriously, "back off!" She said looking back surprised to see who was there.
"Hehehehe, hoooolaaaaaaa! I was waiting for you cpu from leanbox!" Midori said while holding her staff with a somewhat sinister smile.
Now Midori had her hair loose, and its color was a darker green, which was covered with a dark-colored energy layer, which glowed green from time to time, now she had a chest of armor that covered the upper part of her torso exposing her stomach, although she exposed a little bit of her breasts since her suit had a neckline almost like Black Heart's, she had a choker with a green gem that was connected to her chest, the color of this was colored white with golden details, she had her shoulder pads and her skirt that she wore above her knees now reached below them, her skirt seemed to be made of energy since it emitted a purple glow, she had dark green robotic-looking gauntlets, to complement it she had dark green armored-looking boots, and in her hands appeared her scepter that was now larger in gold and with the red gem, although the most striking of all was that strange mark that the same one they had on her stomach the cpus chaos.
Everyone stared at her in amazement seeing her now as a chaos cpu.
"It's Midori!"; Shirou exclaimed.
"How did you suspect?"; said ultra-vert on guard.
"wait? Why is it now a chaos cpu?"; asked white
"Well, now since I couldn't leave things like that, I decided to take over chaos, now I'm chaos green sister!";
"everyone on guard!"; Blanc said, "Midori now we can't waste time with you!"; she said.
"Aww, that I took the time to come and say hello," Midori said, appearing behind shirou and ram.
She released a dark green beam that went towards them.
"wall of ice!"; shirou and ram raised their weapons and created a shield that narrowly stopped the attack.
"shiro! RAM! They are fine!?"; White asked worried.
"Yeah"; Shirou answered.
"It was nothing," ram said.
"Midori stop?!", shouted vert.
"Because I would do? After I lost everything? I lost vertex?! Now will I get it back if I can defeat them, will ventus-nii-sama forgive Vertex and bring him to my side?!"; Midori said glaring at vert.
"Why do you want to take happiness away from vertex when it now has it?!"; white scream
"happiness? Is that something I won't find while I'm with you? They are only tricking him into fighting for you, after he is no longer useful to you, that woman will throw him away like her first sister did"; Midori exclaimed, "I as his real sister will avoid him!"; he yelled as he expelled all his power.
"That's not true!" Shirou yelled.
"It's true, vert is not capable of doing something so cruel!"
"Although it is detestable what the thunder tits of your world did! I doubt ours will do that! She is doing everything to make Vertex feel loved and wanted! It's hard for you to let your brother be happy!"; white scream
"You don't know, you don't know the vertex pain, everything he suffered at the hands of the CPUs, I was born from his tears and I know everything he suffered, that's why I promised myself not to let him suffer!"; Midori yelled in anger.
"Are you listening! Vertex is suffering for you! Can't you see he wanted you to come too! Even though vert decides to take care of it! The still loves you! That's why I wanted you to come with us! Vertex still wants you to be with him! Everything you do just pity him!" exclaimed ultra-vert.
"They are pure bullshit! After the vertex finishes, it will return!"; Midori said preparing to fight.
"Looks like we're going to have to give him a good beating first?"; Blanc said on guard but Vert took a step.
"I'll take care of it, although vertex stayed with my other self, he's also my brother, and by extension Midori too, so this is a problem that I have to solve", said green heart with her spear ready.
"You can't fight alone!"; Shirou exclaimed.
"It's okay Shirou, I'll take care of defeating her and make her see the truth";
In that, Green Heart disappeared and appeared in front of Midori, striking her with the other side of her spear into Midori's stomach. In response, she attacked with her staff, but she was able to move back to avoid the attack.
However Midori disappeared in a vortex and would appear behind vert ready to attack, but leanbox's cpu reflexes were fast and he dodged the attack.
Both began to clash their weapons creating sparks with each contact, even though Midori was a candidate she was able to keep up with vert.
"I waited a long time for this, after finishing with you I'll go for the other one and get my brother back"; Midori said as she punched vert sending her back, but she recovered.
"I won't allow that! I'll defeat you before that happens!" Vert said as he launched a kick that Midori dodged.
She in response attacked with her staff, but Vert flew back and landing in a stealth look at Midori who just smiled.
"We have to help!"; Shirou said.
"yes!" cheer up ram.
But before Blanc could stop them, something slimy wrapped around both boys' torsos and with great force they were thrown crashing into a wall.
"RAM! Shirou!" Blanc exclaimed.
"Hey?",
"do not get distracted!"; Midori attacked with a wind cycle that vert dodged.
Back with white.
She was going to go where the two candidates were crashed, but before she could take a step she had to jump back avoiding the same slimy whips.
"Who's there?!"; annoyed white cry
"I see that they forgot about me"; said a subject appearing.
Blanc was surprised to see a bulky-looking man, with yellow hair and red eyes, wearing reptilian-like armor, his arms covered by gauntlets wrapped in slimy-looking whips.
At first Blanc couldn't recognize him, but after remembering how Judge's appearance changed when he appeared, he looked carefully at the newly arrived subject and from his armor that seemed like a reptile or Dragon, he knew who he was.
"cfwtrick!"; exclaimed white heart with his ax ready.
"hahaha! That's right cpu I'm trick! But I'm not a CFW anymore! I am one of the four royal guards of lord genesis! Trick!" Trick exclaimed with a sadistic smile.
While they were standing face to face, ultra-green heart looked at this in disbelief.
"Another one of them!" Vert exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't get distracted, Trick will just make sure no one interferes in our fight," Midori said.
Vert just frowned and launched himself preparing his spear just like Midori who prepared her staff and both collided their weapons creating a shock wave from the impact.
"Although they sent me to finish off all of you, I'm only interested in you, and the other leanbox cpu, I'll feel better when I finish you off and show you true despair", Midori said while in her hand she shot a bolt of lightning that hit vert in her stomach, sending her crashing into a wall.
"vert!"; Blanc screamed while dodging Trick's whip.
"damn leave me already!";
She lashed out with the ax but Trick, showing great strength, was able to parry it using his forearm.
"That?!"
It was the only thing she could say before being thrown from a blow.
"ha ha ha! Don't underestimate me cpu I'm more powerful now!"; Trick exclaimed while some artifacts came out of his back and pointed towards Blanc.
Then all the drones fired a red beam that went towards her.
"wall of ice!";
At that shirou and ram appeared in front stopping the trick attack.
"RAM! Shirou!" exclaimed Blanc.
"That really hurt!"; said ram complaining to trick for being thrown.
"Luckily we've been through worse," Shirou said.
"Well, I knew that wouldn't stop the brats"; said trick.
"Wow! It amazes me how much I change! If it was the same, he would already be behind me!" Ram said in surprise.
"We don't know what Mr. Neptune has done"; Shirou questioned.
"Let's leave that for now! Let's get rid of that guy and help vert!"; said white.
"Do you think you can easily defeat me?!"; I question trick.
"We have beaten you several times!" Ram said.
"That was when I was a CFW?!"; growled trick "now I'm a superior being!"; he said as he launched himself at lowee's cpus.
Blanc tried to block the trick hit with her axe but to her surprise when she impacted her fist with her axe she was thrown into a wall but was able to pull herself together before crashing.
"His strength is greater! Ram don't trust yourself!" Shirou said.
"Yeah!",
Both boys looked at each other and nodded, putting their weapons together.
"Crossfire!"
A powerful beam of fire and ice shot towards Trick, but he was able to dodge it and using his drones he shot multiple beams at the two candidates who had no choice but to dodge them.
"ice punch!";
Shirou's scythe was wrapped in an ice cap and he tried to hit trick but this stopped him and using his fist he punched shirou sending him away.
"Shirou!"; ram screamed worried.
"you will see! Ice Coffin!";
Ram tried to freeze trick but without effort he got rid of the ice and attacked ram wrapping it with his whip and began to crash it against the floor and the walls of the place, to then throw it next to where shirou fell.
"damned!"; blanc charge against annoying trick.
She dropped her axe, but Trick using his great strength stopped the attack and using his drones he fired lightning bolts that took Blanc by surprise and he couldn't dodge them which made him receive the full attack.
"onee-chan!"; ram scream.
"northern cross!"; Shirou attacked Trick who jumped away from Shirou's attack.
"take it brat!"; He shot a large flame of fire that went towards Shirou impacting him.
"fire impact!"; Ram lunged at Trick with his staff and using it with a bat he tried to hit him.
But trick sustained his blow with ease and using his strength he knocked down ram and with his foot he stepped on the candidate creating cracks in the ground.
"ram no!"; white scream "unfortunate! "Zerstorung!"
Blanc made his move but Trick was able to dodge it and using his whip he wrapped it around Blanc's arm and forcefully brought him towards him and taking her by the neck crashed her to the ground with great force.
"no!" Shirou yelled to look at trick angrily.
"You're missing your child!" Trick said, appearing in front of Shirou and hitting him in the stomach, thus beginning a series of powerful blows that fell on the poor candidate.
Meanwhile Vert and Midori kept fighting to see who would win.
"space vacuum!";
Several vortices appeared around Vert and tried to pull her in.
"cracking sequence! Code error!";
In that vert using the cracking sequences canceled Midori's attack causing her to frown.
"Damn!"; complained the candidate.
"Midori stop this! This fight is pointless!" Vert said.
"Has no sense?! So why vertex preferred you! You! You took it from me!";
Midori yelled furiously and several spears appeared surrounding the vert who went on guard.
On the other side of the castle.
"What's wrong?" nepgear said.
"I feel a great power," said Noire, "it's similar to that of the chaos cpus," she said, recognizing that power
"It sure is Midori!" Saru said.
"Midori?"; Plutia asked.
"Who is she?" Peashy asked.
With lady Purple heart.
"She is the other candidate from the west, the vertex sister," Nepgeo said.
"I remember, she said she comes from the same place as me"; nepgear said.
"It's true, she was born when Vertex disappeared," said Lady Purple Heart.
"Looks like it's cpu chaos now?" Ultra-noire said.
"But her power is much greater than ours," said Uni, acknowledging that Midori was much more powerful.
With hypervert.
"She's my sister!" said Vértice.
"So Midori already attacked?!"; said vert.
"but who?"; questioned shiro.
"Most surely the other miss vert!"; rom exclaimed.
"It's the safest thing," Vert said, "we must find a way to reach her and stop her"; said vert.
"yes!" said the candidates.
Without further ado the group tried to find their way to where they were fighting.
Change of scene.
Meanwhile, in another dark room only illuminated by blue crystals, Snow was watching the fight from a hologram.
"Hahahahahaha", laughed the hierarch maliciously seeing how things were going in the fight.
But in that another person came along with him.
"explain to me what is so fun snow?" Nereus asked.
"nereus, you should be laughing with me"; said snow, "should you see those cpus killing each other?!"; Snow said watching Vert and Midori's fight.
"I think this is a waste of time, we should go finish them ourselves at once," Nereus said.
"but that wouldn't be fun nereus, we should let those worms kill each other and watch their ridiculous battle from a distance"; Snow said with a sadistic look. "What could be more fun than that nereus?"
"hmm? Do whatever you want"; Nereus said, downplaying it and leaving the place.
Back to the battle.
Vert was jumping and dodging the attacks that Midori was throwing with great intensity, barely giving him time to counterattack.
"Midori stop this! It does not have to be this way! We can fix it! You don't have to fight! Vertex wants you to be the same with him! It's not supposed to always be like this!";
"be quiet! You know nothing! You don't know the pain that vertex was in when I appeared! All that he suffered for you! I won't let it happen again!" Midori said as several spears appeared.
In that vert remembered something that vertex told him.
Flash back.
"As far as I know, Midori is very different from me and the other candidates, since we were born from the faith of the people," explained Vértice.
"But she was born from you, wasn't she?" Ultra-vert asked.
"Yes, according to her, she could appear because of my crying and pain, apparently also with the most painful memories, that's why she felt great hatred towards you and the CPUs," said Vértice.
"I see she was born from your negative emotions, despite that she showed a lot of affection for you despite that", said hyper-vert thinking.
"But even so, maybe there is a way to make him leave that grudge," said Vértice.
End flashback .
"It has to see a shape!"; said ultravert.
She would keep trying to dodge Midori's attacks.
Meanwhile with lowee cpus.
Trick continued to charge at shirou, dealing several blows that created a bigger and bigger crater with each blow.
In that trick I prepare one last blow and with all my strength I let it fall on shirou creating a bigger crater after the impact.
Trick smiled at that, but his smile disappeared as Shirou sustained his blow, in surprise he took a step back in surprise.
"How could you do it?" Trick asked watching how Shirou got up from the ground with no signs of injury.
But before he could say anything blanc appeared behind and with great force using his ax he hit trick sending him into a wall.
"Don't think so much of an idiot! Remember that he was a candidate for hierarchy!" Blanc said.
"it's true shirou as much as I can kick your ass!"; said ram who appeared next to trick "ice blow!", he said hitting the royal guard and sending him towards shirou.
"Take this!",
Shirou landed another punch that sent trick flying into the air where blanc flew above him for one last punch that sent him crashing to the ground.
"Damn?!" Trick growled, standing up.
"You are already tiring us! You are not a big threat to us!" Blanc said.
"It's true! Even though I hit them they did hurt!"; Ram complained.
"But we have been through worse things!"; Shirou said.
"Like the time you got impaled?" Blanc asked.
"ugh! Worse"; Shirou said.
"I'm sorry," Ram said.
"It's okay ram, I also remembered that I almost crushed your skull" Shirou said shyly.
"well we're even"; Ram said with a shrug.
"Don't ignore me!" Trick yelled.
"it's true, come on shirou and ram, let's kill this guy and go help vert", said blanc.
"yes!" both children said.
"Shirou?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you know how to make the "dry ravine"?"; asked white
"Yes," Shirou replied.
"well, let's do it"; said blanc smiling.
"yes!" both candidates said.
"come on!"
In that white sister ram turned three times causing three rings to surround her, in that she stuck her cane into the ground creating a great ice glacial that trapped trick.
"Shirou!"; she said.
"Yeah!";
White brother, Shirou stabbed his scythe in the direction where the trick was still trapped, generating more ice spikes that trapped the trick more.
In that he would generate a large ramp where white heart skated until he flew over the great glacier while his ax was wrapped in ice and dropped on trick.
"Disappear once and forever!";
Blanc yelled dropping his ax creating an icy explosion that unleashed great cold winds defeating trick.
"we did it!"; both twins jumped.
"I don't know what that fool from Neptune thought that by sending these guys they could do something to us now?!"; said white heart smiling.
"Maybe they are just cannon fodder to waste our time," Ram said.
"Could be"; Shirou said.
"yes, but now the biggest problem"; White Heart said looking at where Vert and Midori were.
With vert and Midori.
"tch! They defeated that useless!"; she said with annoyance, "I don't know what lord snow thought when he sent it!" she said.
"snow?"; I ask ver.
"Yeah! He was the one who gave me the chaos power!"; She said as several vortices appeared and fired a bolt of lightning that took Vert by surprise, hitting her and sending her to the ground.
But before Vert could stand up, Midori appeared in front of her and he smashed his staff into her stomach sending her to the ground.
"Vert!" exclaimed Blanc.
"Midori is more powerful!" Shirou said noticing that Midori was very powerful now.
"It's because of the chaos energy", exclaimed Ram, "only in this way could that doll become strong",
"Have you had enough? Unlike before, I will give my all to eradicate you and the other you," Midori said as she came closer.
But before it came.
"Northern Impact!"
Shirou attacked with an ice beam that he sent towards Midori striking her by surprise, but she was able to protect with a shield in time to reduce the damage of the attack.
"What do you think you're doing, shirou?" Midori asked.
"help miss vert, and stop you," said shirou.
"It's true! We just want to help you!" said ram.
"help me? Don't you need to help me? I just need you to stay out of my way!"
In that she launched a gale of wind that Blanc was able to stop before it reached the two twins.
"damn! You are a very stubborn brat! We just want you to be able to be with vertex! We know that you just want to protect him! But what you do, instead of doing him good! You are doing him harm!"
"Shut up!" Midori yelled.
"I won't do it! If you really want his happiness you should support him! You plan to take away his new home! Your new family and friends!"; ram scream.
"I am your family!"; Midori said.
"We don't doubt that you are, we know that you took care of Vertex, but so are Miss Vert, even if she's from another dimension. We're not saying what happened in her home dimension is good and you can be upset," Shirou said.
"It's true, when we found out we also got upset, especially the ultra-dimension cpus knowing what happened vertex"; said white.
"That's why my other self is willing to be a sister to Vertex, give him all the love he wanted, but not only to him but to you, Vertex also wants you to be by his side," said Ultra-Vert.
"shut up! That is not true! I know what he felt! They don't know how much pain I was in!" Midori said as her energy was expelled creating great gale force winds.
She remembered the first day she met Vertex.
Flash back.
Deep in the leanbox woods a slightly younger vertex could be seen sobbing while his clothes were slightly dirty.
"I am a fool, I always have been, I have no value", said the boy sobbing.
When I escaped from the basilicom I didn't know where I was going, but I did know that I had to escape as far as possible without caring about all the damage I received from running aimlessly.
"I'm a fool looking for a love that was never for me," said Vertex, looking at his hands, "I'm just a being that shouldn't have existed in the first place,"
Although very disconcerted for him, a figure was approaching where he was.
"That is not true",
"Hey?"
Vertex looked up, although it was already a bit dark because night had fallen, he could only make out blonde hair, wearing a green one-piece dress.
Vertex, seeing her well, said the first thing that came to her mind.
"vert?" asked the boy.
"Not at all", said the girl approaching so that Vertex could take a good look at her.
"Who are you?", asked the boy, surprised to see that it wasn't vert, but someone else who looked like him and vert.
"I'm Midori, your older sister"; Midori said with a warm smile.
"Big sister?" I ask confused.
"Yes, I'm your sister and I'm here to take care of you and protect you," she said, hugging Vertex.
When he felt the hug he felt a Heat that he had never received from seeing you and unconsciously he was able to let out his tears while Midori comforted his brother.
She saw all his pain and everything he did to get Vert's attention by swearing he would get revenge for harming her brother.
"Shh, don't worry, your older sister is here, I'll protect you and take care of you now, everyone who hurt you will pay, I'll make sure of that," Midori said.
"really? Won't you leave me aside?" Vertex asked while looking at Midori with tears in her eyes.
"I will never leave you aside, I will always be there for you, to protect and take care of you, your happiness is the most important thing to me," Midori said as she wiped away her brother's tears.
Vertex could only cry more and hug Midori.
Where from that day they proceeded to be together and never part.
End flash back.
"Always swear to your happiness!" Midori yelled.
"If you always swore to it! It's very hypocritical to take it off now! If you really are his older sister, you would be with him now helping him protect his new home!"; annoyed white cry
"be quiet! I can only give her happiness!" ", Midori fired an energy spear towards Blanc.
But before she could reach her ultra-green heart appeared in front of her stopping the attack.
"Vert!" Blanc said but she ignored her.
"No, that's not true! There are more ways to have your happiness! You're only hurting him by seeing what you're doing! But if you continue with that, I will protect that happiness that you now have!";
At that green heart appeared in front of Midori giving her a blow with her spear to her face that caused her to be sent backwards.
"So you'll stop me?" Midori sneered.
"that's how it is! Although he decided to belong here! I also promised to give her happiness! It's hard for you to accept that! You can now be with him and not just him! If not to several people who are willing to accept them here!"; Vert said as she and Midori clashed weapons.
But Vert began to gain more ground, landing more blows that Midori had a hard time dodging or blocking, but she wasn't far behind either.
"He just wants you to be with him anyway! And you make it harder! If you really love him you should be with him now and not try to prevent his new home from disappearing!"; said vert.
"be quiet! Cracking sequence! White cyclone!
"Sylhet Spear!"
Both cpus made their attack by colliding with each other creating an explosion.
But both launched again, clashing their weapons in a battle where vert denoted something more of an advantage this time.
"damn! I already love you!
Midori screamed at the results.
Cracking sequence! Demon Wind Destruction!"; shooting a gust of wind that went towards vert.
But vert was also prepared.
"cracking sequence! Colossal north wind!"; Vert fired another burst that collided with Midori's generating a great gale in the place.
Both cpu's tried to push each other.
"Tell me if vertex is really your priority! Your happiness! You'd take it from him knowing you might just devastate him more than you found him that day!" vert yelled.
Midori only had a memory of the day she met vertex, her pain that she reflected at that moment and how she promised herself that she would never let him go back to that state.
"be quiet!"; Midori said shaking her head.
"If you don't plan to do it! Then I will do it!" Green Heart yelled as she dropped more power into her attack causing Midori's attack to fall back.
Seeing this she tried to do the same but something inside her remembered everything.
"Would you be able to take away his happiness?!"
The words he said only made me remember that day that I swore to protect him and put his happiness before anything else.
Even if it meant that she had to end up badly hurt in the process, she would always take care of him.
"I don't just want vert-onee-chan to be with me! If not you too! You are also my sister!";
He remembered those words that vertex said but he ignored it.
But when she thought that, she let her attack send power, causing Vert's attack to overcome her and go directly towards her, unable to do anything and hitting her, creating great damage in the area of impact.
"miss ver got it!"; Shirou said.
"This battle is over," Blanc said.
They all just approached Midori who was still on the ground trying to stand up and looking up at the leanbox cpu who was looking at her with a stoic look and raised her spear pointing at Midori who did nothing just closed her eyes.
But after a while she didn't feel anything and she looked at how Vert was hesitating to kill her.
"Why are you hesitating?! You didn't say that you would also protect their happiness!"; Midori yelled annoyed. "Finish me once and for all! Don't make me feel more humiliated than I already am!"
"I'm not going to end you, if I do that would go against what I said, I already told you, Vertex wants you to be in his life too, he hasn't forgotten you," said Vert.
"Most likely, he already knows you're here with us," Blanc said.
"It's true," Vert said, "despite everything you've done, you've done it only to keep Vertex safe, like her older sister, I won't lie to you that I know about it, since in my dimension I don't have a candidate, but I've seen that look in blanc, noire, and the Neptune woman, when protecting Saru, Nepgeo, Shirou and Shiro",
"Hey?" Midori looked confused.
"That look you had when Vertex was by our side, it was the same look she had when they lost their brothers for a moment, although they didn't show it, they were devastated to see that they couldn't protect them."
"That moment they went through was hard for them, I could see that you had it too, I'm sure if they were in your position they would do the same, since like Vertex they went through a lot, but I don't blame you for that, I know you just want to finish us off to prevent Vertex from going through the same thing, but I swear on my pride that that didn't happen", he said kneeling next to Midori .
"It's true, and if that happened I'm sure all of us would beat him up," Blanc said.
"I know that you only want to guarantee his happiness, that's why you are with the hierarchs, since in order to keep him happy and safe you would do anything, like his older sister," Vert said. "But you have to accept that not only you can give him happiness, he has to look for other ways, now he is happy knowing that he has a place that he can call home, friends he has made now, having a sister who takes care of him, but it is not complete since there is only one person missing for him to be completely happy", she said, looking at Midori .
Midori just stared at this with wide eyes.
"Only you are missing and their happiness will be complete," Vert said, shaking hands with Midori.
But she stood up and ran away from Vert and the others.
"Midori!";
She only stopped a few meters away from them.
"I can't be, after everything I tried to do to him, all I did was feed my hatred without knowing that it only hurt him more, how can I be worthy of being his sister!"; Midori yelled as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't say that, Vertex still adores you despite everything, he just wants you to be with him," Vert said, approaching Midori.
But before that happened.

"that power!"; Shirou exclaimed in fear as he felt another presence.
Suddenly a dark cloud would be present where a great ax would come out first and then the silhouette of the hierarch of the north would emerge afterwards.
Standing in the middle of both cpu.
"Hahahaha!" The hierarch of the north laughed with a sadistic smile looking at Midori.
Everyone was just amazed to see him appear.
But before anyone could do anything he raised his ax and dropped a cut on Midori who couldn't do anything and received a death attack.
"Not Midori!"
Everyone just watched as she fell to the ground without her HDD revealing a large cut that ran through her entire torso where a lot of blood came out.
"I gave you one last chance to show your worth cpu useless"; Snow said as he turned around to see everyone.
Everyone just kept staring in disbelief at what was happening.
"this world doesn't need affection, the only thing cpus will suffer is true despair!"; Snow said as his symbols of power glowed brightly.

Well I decide to end here, with the hierarch of the north making his appearance, it's time for the real fight to begin now with snow giving his appearance and with Midori who apparently fell.
But we'll see that in the next chapter.
"a formidable enemy, the northern hierarch's attack";
Do not miss it.
