Mr. Mūten was currently sitting on his living room chair, praying to his goddess to ensure the safety of his pupils as now not only was Nebula close to death's doors but two new, malicious powers who far outstripped any of the three in power at the moment had appeared.

"What in Purple Heart's name have those two boys gotten themselves into...!" He worriedly asked, afraid as he wouldn't be able to sleep anymore.

The old master currently had his TV some late-night news on as background noise as he had some green tea that he hurriedly brewed as he sat on his chair.

He was in his old man pajamas, consisting of a silk robe that his wife had woven for him at some point.

"Those two powers... They don't feel a sliver of nature. Or an ounce of good for that matter. I very well doubt any of them would be leaving there in good condition, or even alive. If I wasn't certain before, I'm sure now. Even that energy Nebula was fighting is objectively dwarfed to the power of those two. Please, don't die you two. My old heart might not be able to take it." The sensei's voice wavered as he sat there in solitary silence he sipped his tea and sensed the battle.

'Although AL is dramatically weaker than those two at their peak and Nebula in his good form, his power is the highest at the moment. He's their only way of getting out of there alive. Don't fail them, my boy.' Mr. Mūten strategized mentally as he put his elbows on the table he clasped his hands and rested his forehead on them, spectators with anticipation with closed eyes.

"I'd go there myself, but I very much doubt I could reach the other side of Gamindustri in time to aid them." He said as he sensed the two powers interacting with each other once more.

'They've begun!' The elderly master mentally jarred as the battle continued.


BLAST!!!!

Xero's blast left his hand as it raced towards Nebula.

KICK!!!

But before it could reach the downed boy, it was kicked into the air by an incredibly fast object.

WHIRR!!!

...

BOOM!!!

RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE!!!

The blast immediately sailed into the air as everyone looked at the blast, whirring before landing in the distance, and violently exploded in a black energy dome with a red epicentre, shaking the ground that they stood/laid down upon.

Some wind was generated as it made their clothes flap as a result.

Xero leered to see who kicked his blast.

Vhestora gazed to see who was the next victim of her brother's wrath.

Nebula looked up with hope to see who was the one who saved his life.

Gris observed with shock to see who was the one that kept his target alive.

And that person ladies and gentlemen. Was Kool Aid Man-

I mean, AL.

In his Burning Fever state, stood Allister Mūten with a stern look. He had both fists clenched and by his side as he completely stumped his fear, as it was replaced by incited anger from what Xero tried to do, and determination to make the edgy high-school drama side character leave.

FLARE...!

There was a fiery aura around the man as he stood there, producing a secondary glow to the portal as he stood tall.

"No." Was his simple response.

"YOU RETARD!" Xero raged as he glared at the flaming man. His eyes shifted from a gaze of hatred to one of insane interest upon the fire user's next line.

"If you're gonna kill him, you're gonna have to go through-"

POWERFUL PUNCH!!!

BOOM!!!

SHOCKWAVE!

AL wouldn't even be able to finish his sentence as Xero rammed his fist into the man's back before flinging him with it, a shockwave resounding from the impact.

Blood was expelled from AL's mouth as he was sent flying from the punch. His eyes went white as his irises became colorless as he flew.

Xero wasted no time as he pursued after the ragdolled man.

"Looks like I'll have some fun before I kill the chopped liver!" Xero plotted as he would become translucent and occupied three spaces before he vanished from sheer speed.

VANISH!!!

"He's fast..." Nebula muttered with a feeling of unnerving suspense as Gris stayed silent.

FAINT GLOW...!

He instead, used his temporal healing ability to gradually heal his wounds.

HEAL...

He was coated in a thin white aura, barely noticeable as he would heal some very minor cuts and bruises.

"And you know what's the best part, handsome?" Vhestora bent down slightly to ask the blue-haired Shoto.

Her features became more prominent and allowing as she closed the gap and stared into the blue boi's eyes.

"W...What?" Nebula croaked. All that concentrated hot girl summer energy in one woman was rather intimidating when she could ball bust you without effort, all the while out of juice.

"I'm faster." She whispered. Which caused Nebula and Gris to realize they weren't gonna escape from the area anytime soon as they were now.

REAPPEAR!

KICK!!!

Meanwhile, Xero reappeared below the warrior as he would then send him skyward with a bicycle kick.

"Urgh!" AL groaned as he ascended painfully.

The afro warrior was sent up into the air as Xero followed him.

BLASTBLASTBLASTBLASTBLASTBLAST!!!

"OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!"

VANISH!

REAPPEAR!

SLEDGEHAMMER!!!

"Argh!" The man guttered as he was pelted downwards from the blow.

ZOOM!!!

Multiple blasts hit the back of AL as he was propelled further up as the dimension hopper blasted him with his attacks.

He flew through each smoke cloud as he continued to assault AL before vanishing and reappearing above the boy just to sledgehammer him.

AL was winded as he zoomed down towards the ground. He felt ridiculous amounts of pain, nobody hitting him as hard as this edgy death metal man, not even Gris, as he neared the floor.

BOOST!-

He then activated his thrusters through the blinding pain and used his back, arms, and legs to stop his fall.

DIVE DOWN!

DROPKICK!!!!!

Xero tolerated none of the interruptions to the stomp session that was this fight, as he zoomed in a straight line down as he vertically dropkicked the man into the ground at terrifying speeds.

CRASH!

WINDWAVE!

"UAAAAAAAGH!" AL screamed in agony as he crashed into the ground.

A dust spike appeared as it blew away some debris from the nightmarish impact.

He then increased the flame of his aura as he blew away the dust as he had taken massive damage, which equated to an equally massive boost, luckily.

BURST!

"Haa!!!" The fighter yelled.

Xero was pushed off of him with a burst of KI as AL dashed at him with a cocked fist, as he yelled only to get dodged and clocked back as he flew back.

PUNCH!

DODGE!

CLOCK!

FWOOSH!

AL got knocked again and was reinserted into the feeling known as incredible pain, but he wasn't almost absolutely stunned like last time.

FIREBALLS!!!

VANISH!

VANISH!

VANISH!

VANISH!

VANISH!

He looked forward and blast some fireballs at Xero, who just vanished and reappeared at those aimed at him, harmlessly exploding and engulfing things in the fire to the side.

"This attack never freaking hits anything!" The afro warrior vented mid-battle.

LUNGE!

Xero then outstretched his hand as a chain sprouted from the centre of his palm with a murky aura from a few inches in front of it as it rushed forward.

CONSTRICT!

"What?!" AL reacted before the chain tightly wrapped around AL in a matter of seconds as he struggled.

SWING!

CRASH!!!

Xero grinned widely as he stopped his pursuit and swung his hand downwards as he turned around and stopped, causing AL to crash into the ground.

SLAM!!!

"Agh!"

CRASH!!!

"Fuck!"

BOOM!!!

"Sonofa-"

DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!!!!

CRASH!... CRASH!... CRASH!... CRASH!!!...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The edgy enemy continued this course of action as he slammed AL to the right, then the left, then center before being dragged across the landscape, colliding into rubble and hazards in the process.

"Ring around the Rosie! Pocket full of posies, CRASHES!-" Xero paused.

CRASH!!!

"CRASHES!-" He paused once more.

CRASH!!!!

AL grit his teeth and hissed as he endured the damage as he felt his power rise. But it wouldn't be enough, not nearly enough, as even with his power has tripled in the last 45 seconds was still only slightly less dwarfed than it was a minute ago.

CRASH!!!

YANK!

HEEL KICK!

"THEY ALL FALL DOWN!" Xero yelled the finisher as he flew towards AL after slamming him down one more time. The victim- I mean, the fighter was then raised to the air before being heel kicked by Xero.

YANK!

UPPERCUT!!!

YANK!

CRASH!!!

He was sent flying, before being yoyo'd back as the chain yanked him. He was uppercut into the air before he was yanked down and slammed into the ground one final time before firing a pure black energy wave at the place he crashed.

"That was a shit rendition!" AL coughed out.

"Then try the rendition of your demise! Hellish Blaster! "

BLAST!!!

BOOM!!

TREMOR!

SHOCKWAVE!

Xero reported as the black beam pierced through the cloud as and exploded, shaking the ground as the blast expanded and the shockwave rocked the skies.

Even the three that were emitting of the battle, hundreds of meters away, would feel the blast as they had to hold on.

"Goat screaming.mp3" Nebula shrieked.

"What the... You know what, I don't want to know how you emulated that." Gris shook his head with a slight upturn. As dumb as it turned out to be, it was kind of funny.

"I think it's pretty cute." The woman admitted as she looked over to the downed CPU.

Vhestora was in the process of oogling Nebula as the god felt slightly uncomfortable at her lustful gaze towards him and she entertained grin as she watched him squirm, as he was unable to take out his Healing Pods and use them if her eyes were constantly on him.

He thought about asking her some questions so that he had enough time to use the items without her noticing.

Gris on the other hand was well through the healing process, as he would have recovered most, if not all of his muscle abrasions and bruises to small wounds and had moved on to some of his more intensive injuries.

He had enough energy to fight just like how he did just after the explosion that took all the blocks out but didn't dare move until he was fully healed.

Nebula then decided to ask some questions.

"So, uh, Vee, if you mind me calling you that," Nebula asked as she would giggle at his nickname for her.

"You can call me whatever you like. Do you mind me asking what your name is?" Vhestora made a questioning tone towards the male.

RUMBLE!

"Nebula. It's Nebula, Vhestora." The god answered as the ground shook again.

"Nebula. What a unique name." She repeated with infatuation.

"Thanks, I guess...?" Nebula avoided eye contact with her as he formulated a question. He couldn't afford to get sucked into the weirdly intimate feeling she gave off.

"Quick question, why do you and your friend want to kill me?" He honestly asked.

"Well, he wants to kill everything so it's in his blood at this point. But I don't want to kill you, Nebula baby. I'd much rather keep you as my sex slave." She emphasized the last part, which made him wonder if wishing for death was better than being milked for every sperm cell he had.

'YOU WHAT-' Nebula internally shouted as he was shooketh to his core.

Gris simply had a face that was a mix of pity and morbid curiosity, with a sprinkle of amusement for the grim fate of his target.

"That's... Interesting and rather morbid." He responded with a forced smile. Both from his injuries, and the implications of what the woman told him.

"You think so?! I could kiss you right now!" Vhestora cheered as she looked at him in a mix of excitement and lust.

BOOM!!!...

"Wait until after you tell me why I have to die, please. It could make me more compliant...!" Nebula deadpanned before giving the lady false hope as he knew damn well that he wanted none of that smoke.

HEAL...

"Right! So, you remember that strange rock that you found somewhere in a forest. I believe they call it Virtua Forest?" She formed a picture. Gris tuned in to listen in as he healed his wounds.

"Yeah. How do you know where that is?" The blue haired adventurer asked.

"A secret." She winked.

"Oh come on." Nebula whined.

CRASH!!!...

"You're cute, not an Adonis." She justified either an eyeroll.

"Ouch." Gris sounded his target's self worth being attacked.

"Oh no, my tender masculinity!" Nebula jokingly sniffles as the standing woman giggled.

"Quiet, you." She regained her composure.

RUMBLE!...

"Well, what you picked up, was a little something called a CPU Memory. It has the power to transform humans into goddesses!" She explained with a pointed finger.

"Humans to... Goddesses?! Just like that?" Nebula asked incredulously.

'Something like that exists? Why wouldn't it be sought out more? Or even talked about more?' Gris thought as he would be a third of the way through his serious injuries.

"It's not just of a whim, love." Vhestora interrupted the boys' train of thought.

"Firstly, this item comes from a different dimension. Separate of this world's space and time in most conventional manners. Just like us!" She explained.

"So you and the memory come from the same dimension?" Gris raised a brow in speculation.

"Edge go BRRRRRRRR!!!"

BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM!!!...

The faint voice of Xero was heard before a series of explosions followed suit.

"Oh no, the CPU Memory itself is from a place called Ultradimension, while I and my brother come from a place called Negadimension." Vhesotra differentiated for the assassin, world-building being bestowed upon them.

The wind was blown back from the resulting attack.

"A place of vile landscapes, akin to hellscapes in some dicey areas with monsters that make this dimension's population look like domesticated pets. And will the reeking scent of fear ever fervent, we come from a land which you could not fathom at your puny level." She stated in a matter-of-fact tone as Nebula and Gris took in her description.

WINDWAVE!...

"So what is this dimension?!" Nebula asked over the rapid winds.

"From what I've been told, this place is called Hyperdimension," Vhestora recalled for the god.

"Oh. Ok. Well, how does one become a goddess with the item?" Gris asked, fully invested in the conversation as he wondered if it equated to his gender as well.

"You just have to touch it. But there's a catch. You must have certain qualities from birth, or else instead of a goddess, or in your case a god, you'll turn into a horrifying monster." She explained very seriously as she looked down at the two of them.

'I could have turned into a monster?!' Talk about an exposition dump...' Nebula, now with hindsight, sparingly thought with a shocked expression as he would look at her with surprise.

'It's a high risk, but the payoff is godhood, so why wouldn't it be.' Gris internally sighed.

"Ok. Now we know what CPU Memory is, where it came from, what it does and its requirements, I guess. Do you know its requirements?" Nebula would ask.

"Nope. I was born into my godhood, most likely the same with the CPUs of this dimension. Just like how you're a god." She explained as she winked at the god once again, knowing his status. Gris soon became shocked that he was trying to assassinate a deity the entire time.

"You're... A CPU?!" He asked. The assassin lost his composure as he turned to the adventurer.

His potentially inflated pride was soon deflated when he realized he didn't transform, in turn not using his all against him.

"Yeah. Sorry for hiding it in the fight. I kind of wanted to test myself against you and give you a fair shot." Nebula apologized as he looked towards him.

Gris growled as he looked down. He was being toyed with the whole time, and believed to be equal when the blue bastard could have transformed and killed him whenever he felt like it!

It infuriated him as he looked down in revelation.

"Look, I said I was sorry alright." Nebula would look to the assassin. "Who knows, maybe you'll be a god to one day." The god shrugged as Vhestora laughed.

"Oh, you boys. I have a surprise for the white-haired cutie when we're done here about that." Vhestora hinted as she continued to giggle at his brooding.

"Surprise?" Gris asked as he gained a confused look.

"Later." She put it aside.

"Hmph." He hummed as he looked at the battle. He hoped he could surprise his way out of this conundrum as he took his mind off the hormone-induced deity.

As he looked over yonder, AL would be banged up quite a bit, with his shirt sleeves gone and his pants scratched. He reached sixfold his original strength, speed, and ability but he was only now gaining better defense.

The beatings were still too quick and too painful to successfully counter against.

All he could do now was play his cards right and block every and any attack to get strong enough to hold his own until the invader was satisfied/bored, letting his guard down for a clean hit. But even that at its best was optimistic thinking.

And naïvety at its worst.

BLAST!

BLAST!

BLAST!

BLAST!

BLAST!

Xero shot some more dark energy blasts at AL as he attempted to dodge them.

DODGE!

HOP!

JUMP!

BLAST!

EXPLODE!

AL moved to the left to dodge the first blast, then hopped to the right, then jump for the third, blasted back at the fourth, causing them to clash and cancel out for once.

KICK!!!

CLASH!

He tried to kick back the fifth and final blast, but when he coated his foot in flames and KI, he struggled way more to kick the blast than before.

PHASE!

BOOM!...

AL quickly applied some afterburners on his sole as he finally kicked the blast back to Xero who would simply phase and reappear as the blast neared him, harmlessly exploding behind him.

ABLAZE!

He then zoomed towards the flame user, who enchanted himself in the same full-body armor armor as he used against Gris.

SWIVEL KICK!

SIDE KICK!

SNAP!

BOOM!!!

SKID...!

Xero began his assault with a swivel kick that caught the male off guard, as it struck his fire armored face, before continuing by striking him hard in the abdomen, as AL bucked. He then snapped his fingers, making an explosion that reeked of fear blast him from within, making him skid back.

DASH!

AFTERIMAGE!

It wouldn't end there, however, as Xero dashed right towards AL before flying right through him.

AFTERIMAGE!

AL became confused before it happened again, but from his right.

"The fuck?! Afterimages?" He wondered.

It would then repeat at the left side of him.

AFTERIMAGE!

"Three times?!"

KNEE!

ELBOW!

"Grah!"

DETONATE!

DETONATE!

He was then struck in his back twice by a powerful knee and elbow before they placed fear bombs within him that detonated shortly after.

SPIN!!!

AL rapidly spun vertically through the air as he was set into a spinning motion by the bombs.

APPEAR!-

SHOULDER!!!

Xero engaged as he appeared right next to him and shoulder bashed the human.

He then resumed his human yo-yoing as he pulled hard, yanking the warrior towards the edgy enemy as he was heading-

YANK!

Into a-

HOOK!!!

Right hook.

BOOM!

The invader kept yo-yoing the fire user, Xero punching, kicking, blasting and slamming him away only to yank him and repeat the process in well... A twisted process.

YANK!

BIFF!!!

YANK!

BLAST!!!

YANK!

HIGH KICK!!!

YANK!

CHOP!!!

YANK!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

YANK!

AL was hurting as teeth were grit with resolve, but his power was rising just as much as he took on the relentless attacks of the opponent.

AXE KICK!!!

His power had grown to eightfold his original strength, and he never thought he could rise so fast in power until he was abused to the point that he became much stronger, much more quickly by Xero's arduous means.

He wheezed.

AL's defenses had improved, which meant the attacks gradually started to hurt less and less. Still, like a bitch, but a bearable one. Kind of like his opponent's mothe-

He was yanked once more as Xero cocked back his fist, ready to hit him again.

So that's when the flame user struck back.

AL managed to melt the chain by superheated his body, reducing its grasp on him to the point that he stuck out his feet his palms and used his afterburners to gain speed.

MELT!

BOOST!!!

SONIC BOOM!

ZOOM!

He pumped more energy into his fire with his KI, and he became much faster as he easily broke the sound barrier as became many times faster than the speed of sound.

He then disappeared due to his sudden increase in speed as Xero widened his eyes.

"What?!" The dominant fighter barked, unknowing how the hot boy managed to escape his sight.

DROPKICK!!!

IMPACT!

SHOCKWAVE!

And before he knew it, the man was hit square in the face by a dropkick that made a shockwave from the pure force behind it. Xero ended up being knocked away as he certainly didn't expect the hit at all and the chain expanded as he was flung away.

YANK!

"MotherFUCKER!" The edgy fighter swore like a sailor that stubbed his toe.

But AL wouldn't settle for one hit. He pulled the chain back, which yanked Xero back towards him instead.

FLAMING SIDEKICK!

Xero was yanked back into a sidekick that had some extra oomph due to AL's flaming propulsion as he was being sent flying once again.

YANK!

"Scorching Schneider!"

HIGH KICK!!!

FLAME EXPLOSION!

After that, he would be yanked back right into an SP Skill.

PULL!

"Overheated Assault!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

BOOOM!!!

Xero was yanked again, this time, being struck by a barrage of kicks before ending it with an Overheated Assault.

The attack was magnified because of his altered state, and just straight-up exploded on Xero instead of making streaks. Xero cursed as he would feel pain for the first time with that last attack.

"FUCK!" The invader yelled, finally feeling the effects of turnabout.

Back at the portal, Vhesotra, Gris and Nebula chatted about the reason why she and her brother were sent to kill him. Gris had finished with his wound healing as he laid there for a while now.

He couldn't act now though, as he was still tired. He could then think of something once he was in tip-top condition, as his stamina was only just beginning to reach how it was when he first arrived.

Nebula successfully used both Healing Pods, as Vhestora had closed her eyes going on a tangent about how gods and goddesses were the pinnacles of existence and how mortals strived to become like them, and on very few occasions become like them as the world around then cowered and worshipped their rightful superiors as the almighty gods they were.

Normal stuff.

He wouldn't be headed back to full health, but with the recovery of some stamina, using some KI to stabilize his condition, and the Healing Pods, he was working at 60% right now.

He regained his ability to transform and jump in and help AL, but he had to know why he had to die. If it was just for him, then he could rest assured that the saving of the world wouldn't be hindered by the meddling of the two spontaneous characters.

Or summat. Sounded like something Mr. Mūten would go on about.

But if it wasn't just his death that was warranted, then he could not stand by and let them have their way. Especially if they wanted sex slaves and wanton destruction.

"Vhesotra. You still haven't told me why I have to die, yet." Nebula sweatdropped as he reminded the woman as she stopped her tangent.

"Forgive me! I didn't know I got so sidetracked! It happens." She realized as she got back on track.

SIT!...

"Don't mention it. Digression is the sound of wit, after all." Nebula brushed aside as he pushed himself onto his legs on a criss-cross apple sauce position.

"Another compliment? I might just make you my top slave, Nebula. And I mean that in more ways than one~." She smiled, her eyebrows wiggling.

'Too bad neither of them know it's just educated insolence. I'm pretty insolent myself, some coming up with this is kind of ironic.' Gris internally chuckled as he rolled his eyes, the goddess beginning her long-awaited explanation.

"You have to die..." She started up the point of interest.

"Hmm...?" Nebula raised a brow.

"Hnn!" Gris sat up as he pushed himself up for this.

"Only if...!" She continued, pausing for dramatic effect.

"Hmm...?!" His brow would be raised higher.

"..." Gris narrowed his eyes.

"You don't accept this!" She finished as she pulled out what looked like a darker version of the CPU Memory he found. It would radiate negativity from its existence.

¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?...

"What is that?" Gris scratched his head.

"A Corrupted CPU Memory." She would say as she tossed it to Nebula.

"Eat it, and you'll become one of us. Don't and I might just have to kill you." She explained with a giggle and a wink.

"..." Nebula deadpanned. at the mix of cheer, fatality, and seduction that was Vhestora. If he didn't know she was a goddess, he would have mistook her for an eeire succubus.

Gris looked at the rock as he would think. Perhaps if he used that, he would gain enough power to fight on equal grounds and best the god?

No, he couldn't say that yet.

He hadn't even seen his god form as yet. He knew that he would have to witnesses the legend before he sought the item. And it looked malicious, he doubted that something like that granted the godhood he wanted.

"I'll hold onto it. It'll make me think about you." Nebula said as he put it in his pocket as Vhestora cooed. "I never said no, Vhestora. Tell the boss, or whoever it is that." Nebula specified as she nodded.

He tried to make the goddess have the impression of him joining them, plus her apparent attraction to him would surely help since her brother was busy fighting AL to suspect anything out of place.

And Gris was surely not going to risk his well-being by blowing the bluff, even if he did try to kill him less than 5 minutes ago. Even an ass like him knew when to shut up.

"Sure, Nebbykins!" Vhestora ate up the flattery as Gris almost visibly shook in cringe at the nickname she gave him. "I'll tell him that it was a success! Because I know you'll use it, and we'll see your sexy VPU form!" She squeed as Nebula let out a weak laugh and Gris facepalmed.

"VPU Form?" Gris questioned.

"VPU?" AL questioned as even he heard the weird acronym.

"Death?" Xero asked as he charged another energy blast as AL yelled in surprise.

"OH SHIT-"

"Psycho Mantis?" Nebula asked with an incredulously taken aback gaze as he dropped the reference.

"It means Viral Pernicious Unit." Vhestora verified.

"Oh boy," Gris muttered at the name. Now he had second thoughts about taking the surprise that she had for him if he was gonna transform into a virus.

"Well... I could show you my HDD form so that you have an idea of what my VPU form might look like." Nebula would prompt with a crafty and sly smirk.

"Now? I'd like to see how that god in there looks, Nebula." She wondered as she raised a slender eyebrow of her own, the lust-filled gaze returning.

Gris looked at Nebula with curiosity as he would want to see the god that he would have to go up against in the future.

Nebula rose to his feet and looked her dead in the eyes before shouting.

"Access!"

TRANSFORM!

PILLAR!

The white pillar of light returned once more with its green digital numbers circling it as the male transformed.

When it dissipated, Brave Heart stood in Nebula's place. He possessed slight scratches as he would have healed more of his injuries and leveled at around 70% normal capability due to his former fight.

Gris and Vhestora had varied looks.

Blood began slightly trickling from her nose as her cheeks reddened at the lust she felt towards the body of Brave Heart's physique.

Gris however, just looked in awe at how the fighter grew an extra 4 inches, and grew long hair with the white power symbols in his eyes, just like the CPUs and CPU Candidates.

It was like something STRAIGHT out of fanfiction!

Oh, wait-

"Yare yare daze. Every time I look into your eyes, I see something beautiful." Brave Heart sweet-talked, putting on his most charming voice.

Vhestora sniffed back up the blood as she stuttered.

"W-What do you see, hot s-stuff?!" She asked, her heart jackhammering with lust as she sniffled back some of the blood to her nostrils.

"My reflection." He answered. Gris would stifle a snort as he tried his hardest not to burst out laughing and earn the ire of the goddess.

"Wait... What? " She asked, suspicious at the answer she just listened to.

"My reflection. Can't you see your reflection in my eyes?" He asked, glossing over his out-of-place comment.

"Well yes, but I was hoping that you would have said something about me instead." Vhestora clarified, slightly dejected.

"THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU!" Brave Heart shouted as he would startle the both of them. "Come on, lady. You and your brother came here to recruit me, is the gist of what you're trying to say. And then when you get to recruit me, and I start dropping compliments, you get all mushy like a high school girl in a 90s anime. If you want compliments so bad you should've just walked in a mirror and do it yourself. I'm a pimp, not a simp, hoe." Brave Heat cleared up any misconceptions about their formal relationship.

Vhestora scoffed as Gris was taken aback by what was happening.

Never would he have thought that Nebula was one for the gospel.

"Well, I never! And to think that your HDD form would be more of a gentleman than a disrespectful brute." She spat as she looked off to the side.

Brave Heart let out a scandalously dry laugh.

"Ha. First off, I'm not a brute. Secondly, I don't think you warrant any respect for what your brother tried to do to me, and is doing to AL. And thirdly, chivalry is dead, and women killed it, so miss me with that gentleman shit too." The CPU began, as the goddess was shocked out of a very good mood by his words.

"The only thing that's keeping me from punching you right in your whore mug, is that you haven't done anything retarded enough that warrants me to, but since your brother is beating my friend, I might do so by proxy, even if you have some overpowered, ball busted, beta bitch cock slave of a boyfriend I should be worried about." Brave Heart ended with a content smirk as Vhestora was beginning to fume.

"How... How dare you! And after I tried to save you from death by joining us. You could have been my best fuck toy! And bold of you to assume I'm in a relationship for more than 2 weeks for anything other than money, lustful desire, and good sex!" Vhestora yelled at the god as he retained his unimpressed face.

Gris on the other hand remained quiet as the scene played out.

"Way to out yourself as a thottus maxima. I have a thing, Vee. It's called dignity. And unlike the thousands of NEET shut-ins who'd jump at the opportunity, I'd rather not be milked like a cow by your STD-infested snatch. And really, why would I want to join?" Brave Heart truly questioned the decision of joining her.

The first thing you told me was that you'd keep me as a sex slave in some cold, nasty, sex fluid riddled dungeon somewhere, and your brother looks like a mental case for anger issues and never realized that being overly edgy makes you look like an autistic twat. Not to mention he's hurting my best friend. So fuck off, you lousy, promiscuous, good for nothing cunt." Brave Heart finished, uttering his last expletive rather harshly.

The result of the tangent that our pseudo protagonist went on sent the VPU present into a tirade of feminine fury as her pupils constricted, veins formed and eyes went blank.

"I'LL FUCKING CASTRATE YOOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!" Vhestora screeched as she charged the god after hearing his last insult.

She materialized her sword, which looked like a futuristic curved katana with no guard. It would be carbon black with a magenta blade. It glowed as she neared reacting to her rising power.

"Of course it's magenta. I bet tour tampons are neon pink, too." Brave Heart rolled his eyes as he then focused as his pupils became smaller as his expression hardened.

SWING!

"!"

Vhestora swung towards his face, and the blade left a trail of energy as it swung, from both the speed and power coming from it.

GRAB!!!

PULL IN!

Nebula grabbed the sword arm of Vhestora as he used his other hand to pull her waist towards him. Their bodies pressed together as she looked him straight in the eyes with feminine fury.

But all that resided in Brave Heart's was the cold and undying intolerance that all warriors of thotslaying bore for their enemies. If he was one in his human state, then he would be the deity of them as a god.

Sounded kind of pretentious, but he was a god after all.

REPULSION!!!

"You jackass-" She was cut off by the legendary meme.

"BEGONE. THOT!!!"

And with that phrase, he took his hand from her waist and would switch it to her stomach where he blasted her with a force of gravity as he used his Repulsion.

"YOU'LL PAAAAAAAAY!" She hollered before being blasted into the portal. It would make an unrecognizable sound as she went through.

???...

Gris was truly speechless at the show that Brave Heart had just put on. He had not only managed to deal with, clown, and piss off the goddess all in the same moment, but he managed to do it with no damage.

From her specifically. Had to be proud of his handiwork after all.

TRICKLE...!

But as he thought that, Brave Heart's cheek trickled with a long line of blood.

"!" Gris reacted.

"She might have been a bitch, but she didn't swing that sword like one. I'm lucky she was so angry that she wildly swung. I won't be that lucky the next time we meet if she's right about being that fast."

STANCE!

Brave Heart sighed as he turned to Gris, who got up and took an automatic step back as he rose and went into a defensive stance.

"My fight with you has been postponed. And you should do the same. Because right now..." Brave Heart paused as he glanced at the battle between AL and Xero. "We have one big ass megalodon to fry." The god finished as they got ready to join the battle.

SHOCKWAVE!

SHOCKWAVE!

SHOCKWAVE!

Xero and AL were currently duking it out in the cloudy black skies now, since after AL had gained the upper hand, Xero decided to move the battle to the air.

BOOM!

CLASH!

COLLIDE!

SHOCKWAVE!

A red glowing line and an orange line of fire repeatedly clashed and collided in the air as they traded blows through the air within the fires of battle.

SHOCKWAVE!

SHOCKWAVE!

SHOCKWAVE!

AL hit the maximum boost of tenfold so far, with a small ember on his chest directly above his heart burning as a sign of that.

His shirt was somewhat ripped, with most of the entire right side gone and some ripped fabric remaining on the left. His pants would have some holes and blood, as well as his shoes, were scratched up as blood stained his pants and shirt fabric remnants.

Xero only had slight injuries, however, since he had been starting to loosen up against the flame user as he was met with resistance for once in the entire length of the fight.

ZOOM!

BOOST!

CLASH!!!

They connected in the air before gaining some distance and repeating the same action.

LEFT HOOK!

SONIC BOOM!

AL got the jump on Xero as he right hooked him towards the ground.

He chased after him in a burst of flames as he followed the invader at ten times the speed of sound. He then closed the gap as he began to barrage the enemy, but would engulf his fists in fire beforehand to maximize the damage that his target would receive.

"Vulcan Barrage!"

BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM!!!

He repeatedly struck the man as he landed blow after blow as he yelled out another SP Skill.

FIREBALL!

BLAST!

He finished it with a large fireball the size of a yoga ball that was pressed into Xero before sending him away with it.

VANISH!...

EXPLODE!

Xero was propelled by the fireball but managed to escape it right before it hit the ground. It exploded violently as a large fire was created because of it, smoke being let off as its crash position was displayed.

REAPPEAR!

FLIP OFF!

He then reappeared on the ground as he tried a new battle tactic. He looked at the approaching warrior before giving him a gesture with a cocky grin.

"?!" AL raised a brow, confused, before snarling and becoming enraged under the effects of the taunt.

"YOU-" The fire fighter began.

SEISMIC WAVE!

RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE!!!!!!

But as he neared, he saw a red seismic wave spread across the ground as it then begin to shake vigorously as an omen to something big.

BLAST!

PILLAR!

KABOOM!!!!!!

TREMOR! TREMOR! TREMOR! TREMOR!

"Wait, what-" AL wouldn't even have time to finish the sentence as he would be engulfed in a massive explosion that took up about a city block as the remaining debris and rubble as well as the flaming fighter, were subjected to a blast that was underneath the ground and swallowed them hole in a red pillar of energy that shot up and expanded from the center before subsiding.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Diabolical Douser!"

BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH! BOOM! CRASH!

Xero cackled as he then proceeded to fly up and continue to rain down on the site. He flexed both his hands as he let small red blasts fall from his hands like high-speed bombs as they hit the ground and exploded.

"PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW!" Xero imitated a small child as his blasts hit the ground with the force of super-powered heat-seeking missiles.

"Man, this is cathartic. Too bad I won't know if he's dead or not until after the smoke clears." He breathed out with a slightly miffed expression before he would reignite his bloodlust as he laughed some more.

BOOST!

BLAST!

EXPLOSION!

"Argh! When is he going to stop this!" AL grunted as he guarded the blasts.

As the receiver of the onslaught was barely holding on as he reactivated his flame shield and would have been tanking most of the blasts, with some still hurting him. He tried to get away, but when he did, one would always hit him and sent him sprawling to the ground to be hit by more.

GUARD!

BOOM!

GUARD!

EXPLOSION!

GUARD!

CRASH!

"!"

He was in a tight spot as he had deactivated the armor when he reached maximum, only to reactivate and be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

DODGE!

BOOM!

DODGE!

CRASH!

DODGE!

EXPLODE!

AL then had an idea pop into his head as he deactivated the armour, increasing his speed as he began to dodge the blasts. He then charged a fireball with both of his hands as he dodged.

KI MANIPULATION!

FLAME MANIPULATION!

DODGE!

BOOM!

As he charged the ball, he mixed his flames with some KI as well, using his fire as an additive as his KI shaped the attack as an energy spear.

AL was designing his move to be an attack that would boost the speed of his KI while maintaining the power of his flames. He had developed it over the months as his hybrid attack, but the only thing that was missing was an opponent to use it on in the form.

He never used it at maximum capacity, so he wanted to see what it could do, as it might be the only way he could get out of the jam he was in.

"I hope this works." The warrior focused.

He finished crafting the attack as it was now an asymmetrical energy sphere that was white in the center but glowed orange as fire would be coming off of it.

AL dodged a few more blasts as he pumped it with more and more flames.

In the midsts of it, AL sensed where Xero was in the sky as the clouds of smoke and dust from the ground up were covering his position.

DODGE!

CRASH!

BURN!!!

DODGE!

EXPLOSION!

BURN!!!

DODGE!

BOOM!

BURN!!!

He found him after dodging another blast with his sensory abilities as he launched it through the air as hard as he could musters. He came up with a name at the very last second before he threw it.

"Here goes...! Infernal Spear! "

THROW!!!

ZIP!!!

The flame user roared as he let the weapon construct fly.

It cut through the air at hypersonic speeds and would not become apparent to Xero until the blast was right upon him.

"OOOOHOHOHOHO! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- WHAT THE FUCK?!" His laughing fit would be interrupted as he saw something get right in his personal space before detonating.

BOOM!!!

SHOCKWAVE!!!

CLEAR!...

The shockwave from the explosion instantly cleared away all of the smoke as more smoke was caused by the explosion in the air.

The clouds were cleared as Xero was once again struck from AL as the attacks ceased.

"Hah..."

AL's state would be revealed as he would be significantly injured but still felt like he hadn't been hurt at all due to the flames that powered him.

Brave Heart and Gris then came towards AL's side as the trio would now be formed.

"You hit him square on, but he's still alive." Brave Heart observed.

"You can tell by the obnoxious amount of smoke covering his body." Gris pointed out as the fain healing aura would be present still. He was around 95% done with the process of regaining his stamina.

"... Didn't you try to kill us?" AL asked with a raised brow.

"And I'll try again. Just not right now. Especially with the warmongering invader god on our asses, trying to fuck us p and toss our bodies into some nightmarish void as a victory ritual." Gris crassly responded as they looked at the smoke cloud in the air.

"Good choice. Because that Xero is probably... At least 3 times stronger than me. right now." Brave Heart noted with a confident smirk.

"Thrice?!" Gris would yell.

"So that attack only slowed him down..." AL said, disappointed as he stared into the smoke. "At least it did something. Unlike him. Why's he taking so long in there?" He continued to ask.

"Don't jinx it-" Brave Heart started.

But it was too late as the smoke dispersed with a powerful wind from within. Xero's trench coat sustained some burns and dust. His pants and vest were banged up too, but that was about it.

His skin had a few more scratches, but in the long run that did not bode well for the DPS aspect of their retaliation.

"AL... Come on, man." Brave Heart whined.

"Shit." AL cursed.

"At least we know he didn't do anything drastic in there-" Gris began.

"I'M GONNA TAKE OFF MY LIMITER RINGS! YOU FUCKERS MANAGED TO INJURE ME, SO TAKE THIS WARNING AS A GIFT! FROM ME TO YOU GNATS! YOUR FUNERAL IS IN 5!..." Xero screamed with fervor, his voice projecting from the air.

Brave Heart and AL would look at Gris would a deadpan.

"Technically I didn't do anything, since I said in there." Gris defended himself.

He was met with deadpans.

"4...!"

"We're gonna make you hit him first," AL told him.

"What?! I'm the weakest one here, as much as it hurts my pride!" Gris admitted, as his aura faded, being back to 100%. AL had somehow surpassed him even when he was all beefed up, and Nebula was a god for fuck sake!

"While that is true, you're the person who's healed the most." Brave Heart would point out as a counterargument.

"But you're the strongest." Gris brought up a good point.

"3...!"

"Also true." AL agreed.

"Look, why don't we all just attack him at once. It's better than being picked off one by one in 1v1s like generic shonen battles." The god switched his decision.

"Finally, something sensible came out your mouth," Gris muttered in exasperation.

"He gets big brain in god form." AL relayed to the assassin.

"Shut the fuck up, AL." Brave Heart deadpanned with a tick mark.

"2!..."

"Get ready, guys!" AL gave a heads up as he flared his fiery aura.

BURST!

"Haaaaaaa!!!" Nebula roared as he would burst in his orange KI-based aura.

AURA!

"Hooooooo!!!" Gris yelled as he regained his bright white aura as it radiated.

Xero clenched his fists as the rings crackled with red energy before bursting, and he would be covered in a red murky aura as his eyes went blank with power. His muscles grew veins as he gained slightly more muscle mass.

"1!" He counted down as he got ready to dash down to the ground.

"This match is about to get red hot!" AL yelled.

"...!" Gris would grunt in anticipation.

"YOU'RE UP!" Brave Heart yelled as he flew off the ground.

AL blasted off with his afterburners on his feet as he would follow his friend.

Gris immediately jumped after them with his increased speed.

"0! HERE I COME!!!!!1!!1!!!1!1!!!1!" Xero had caps locked on as he rushed towards the trio.

A dramatic scene played out, with a staredown between a serious Brave Heart as he approached, and a psychotic grin from Xero.

AL and Gris would be close behind as they followed their strongest ally as he was their bastion of memes.

Then the third and final match of the night started.

MASSIVE SHOCKWAVE!

"Argh!"

"A H !"

Brave Heart and Xero clashed with their forearms before disappearing in a shockwave that blew AL and Gris back.

SHOCKWAVE!

They soon caused countless ones as they traded blows around the destroyed landscape.

SLEDGEHAMMER!!!

SHOCKWAVE!

The chain ended, when Xero got a good axe handle on the god, sending him flying.

"keemstar screaming.mp3!!!"

AL then stepped in as Brave Heart flew to the wayside as he would engage with the evil god.

"Don't worry, I'll tap in" He began, only to be cut off moments later.

PUNCH!

...

AL was then subject to abject torture from the time he threw the first punch. It made the impact but got no reaction as Xero moved like the punch hadn't even been thrown.

A by the books no sell.

"?" Xero made a questioning hum.

ABLAZE!

PUNCHKICKELBOWKNEEJABJAB STRAIGHTHIGHKICKSPINKICKSIDEPUNCH HOOKHOOKSWIVELKICKROUNDHOUSE!-

AL tried to launch a barrage as he put on his flame armor.

ELBOW!

SHOCKWAVE!

But Xero swiftly interrupted the futile combo with a blow to the stomach.

SLEDGEHAMMER!

"Ough! It's... always the stomach with you...!" AL wheezed before he was shut up by an axehandle to the back of the head.

SPIN KICK!

He was then hit by a spin kick to the side that sent him flying across.

UPPERCUT!

PUNCH!

LEFT HOOK!

ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

ELBOW!

BACK PUNCH!

HIGH KICK!

GRAB!

THROW!!!

Into an uppercut, that spawned another hit to the chest, a hook, a roundhouse to the jaw, a side elbow, a back punch into a high kick before he grabbed a leg and spun AL like a rag, and threw him up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The warrior cried in dismay.

Xero opened his hand opened as he watched AL's figure become smaller before clenching his fist.

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-BOOM!!!

The fighter exploded from the 8 fear bombs that were implanted from each blow.

"WHYYYY!!!" AL squeaked as he felt his flame armor dissipating shortly after, saving him from potentially fatal damage...

For now.

KICK!

RESOUND!

Before Xero could pursue the flame warrior, he would be pushed back by a flying kick from below as Gris came with his accelerated speed, and a burst of speed from the jump and hit the god square in the chest.

Xero lurched forward.

That was about it.

He turned his eyeless gaze to Gris, who was in shock and floating for about a second from the recoil from the impact before he fell.

DASH!!!

SONIC BOOM!

Xero followed the assassin as he now hit the ground and ran like he was an escaped convict.

BOOM!

CRASH!

CHAINS!

EXPLODE!

CHAINS!

BAM!

RUMBLE!

TREMOR!

CRASH!

BOOM!

Gris would now be dodging the much more destructive variants of Xero's blasts as he had to deal with protruding chains in the mix as the assassin jumped, dodged, and zigged zagged the attacks as he ran circles, as if he ran too far in any direction, he would include civilians in a situation he didn't want to be apart of as he stayed from his allies.

Running at speeds that would make Planeptune's mascot slack-jawed was Gris' initiative as he made doughnuts around the blocks that were destroyed, dodging the debris and rubble that remained, all the while trying to not get caught by Xero or his attacks.

KNEE!

Brave Heart meanwhile, finally recovered from the lost stamina and downing attack and blasted off from the crater he had made somewhere nearby and kneed the VPU right in his face as he bucked for a bit.

CLASH!

The blue god became a blue glowing line as the Xero followed as a similar glowing red one. They immediately went to clashing again in countless contests as Brave Heart's endurance would be chipped down once again with each clash.

ELBOW!

"oof.mp3!"

HEEL KICK!

"Roblox screaming.mp3!"

Though he lasted slightly longer, Brave Heart was taken out by a perfectly timed elbow into the air, into a heel kick STRAIGHT into the ground.

"Flaring Blazer!"

BLAST!!!

AL held back a laugh as he pulled himself together, internally knowing that it was his turn again, and recklessly rushed to the battle, for he couldn't afford to falter.

The attack landed on Xero who turned and flew straight through the attack as he set his sights on AL.

The fighter knowing this, adapted. If the objective was not to win at this point, then it was to survive for as long as possible. Or just, recollect his life experiences as he dodged to his doom.

BLOW!

SMOKESCREEN!

As Xero approached, AL blew some smoke from his mouth, which created a smokescreen that clouded the god's vision.

"Scorching Schneider!"

KICK!

FLAME ARC!

"Overheated Assault!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM!!!

"Flaring Blazer!"

BLAST!!!

EXPLOSION!!!

The fighter used the precious seconds he had bought to throw multiple attacks that he had at the unstoppable force.

The attacks connected every time and made the VPU stagger as he was blinded and being attacked from all directions as it slightly singed his clothes, but that was also about it.

He wouldn't be grunting in pain, or be flung and thrown from the attacks, he didn't even make a sound of recognition.

"GRAWR!"

EXPAND!

Instead, he just flexed his muscles as he crunched up as an escalating sound occurred before pushing out his core, a white blast with a red edge was released from him.

KNOCKBACK!

SKID!...

"Shit!"

AL was caught in the attack as he was carried away and into the distance from the dome of fear energy as he slid on his back as he winced. It subsided shortly after as Xero raised from his previous position, and raised his hand in tandem.

CLOUDS!

CHARGE!

...CHARGE!!!

When it raised, the moon was blocked as some clouds appeared from the fear energy he was emanating. Xero's hand gained a twinkle as it was obstructed, mimicking the effect when he was going to finish off Nebula. Then it grew and grew, to the size of a house.

"Ugh... OH, MY GODDESS WHAT IS THAAAT?!!" AL screamed at the attack that was meant for him as he rose.

"Huh..? SHIT! If that hits AL, he's a goner!" Brave Heart scrambled to his feet as he got ready to go some rounds against Xero again.

"Holy shit," Gris murmured as the blast had grown as it was about to hit AL. He then raced towards the flame user to save him from his grim fate, as a 2v1 was infinitely less desirable than a 3v1 in this situation.

BLAST!

VOOM!

"RIGHT!" Xero yelled as he threw the ball, it rippling through the air as it neared AL.

The fighter couldn't bring back his shield to tank, and was too tired to dodge. He watched the ball as he got ready to accept his death.

"I'm sorry... Old man." He closed his eyes.

He lowered his head as the attack neared, it making the pebbles raise as it got ready to hit the ground.

ZOOM!

GRAB!

EXPLOSION!!!

But that's when Gris rushed in and grabbed the warrior right before he was caught in the blast a sling him over his shoulder behind him.

ZOOM!

WOOSH!

The explosion raced behind the two as they evaded it. The blast radius spread a good 3 blocks as Brave Heart flew up to dodge, changing his trajectory from AL to straight up. Gris would not stop running as Xero had once again set his sights on them.

"He's as persistent as he is edgy! RUN BITCH! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" AL shrieked as Gris tapped into the speed f- I mean, he went fast as fucc boi.

AL had now been given the role of telling Gris what was coming from behind as the silver-haired hitman squarely focused on running.

The duo effectively dodged, evaded, weaved, and jumped over chains, blasts, and other hazards until Brave Heart had gathered enough energy to stall for a good 2 minutes again as he descended back down to the invulnerable bastard.

GRAVITY!...

GRAVITY!...

GRAVITY!...

GRAVITY!...

GRAVITY!...

The CPU currently charged an attack of his own as he slowly descended while Xero was busy trying to kill the two other warriors. He would put his hands in front of him as he gathered baronic energy in the form of his SP being in his CPU form. He ripped the air from the sheer gravity he had and started to weigh down.

"I've reached the 10,000-ton threshold again. Alright, it's time to send this edgelord back to the shadow realm." Brave Heart noted as the portal was a clear shot. But he had to make sure that the attack was strong enough to blast him into the portal.

RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE!!!

The others would be doing their best to avoid dying from Xero as they dodged the attacks as the ground shook from said attacks.

"10,000 might not be enough, given his power... he's at least 3 times stronger, so... 30,000. This is gonna hurt like a bitch!"

PLUMMET!!!-

RISE...!

Brave Heart swore as he increased the gravitational energy on himself, He was then pulled down immediately, and had to use his KI to help pull himself back up.

CRASH!!!

TREEEEEEEEEEEEEMOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!

"FUCK!"

"20,000 tonnes!... Alright, one more-" He wouldn't be able to even finish his sentence, as he was dragged down to the ground. As he landed it made a terrifying rumble.

Brave Heart had trouble getting back up like that grandma in those commercials up as he was now under the influence of 60,000,000 pounds.

REPULSION!

ATTRACTION!

F-F-FLOAT!

...

...

...

He flared his KI to the MAXIMUM as he tried to get back up with Repulsion. He even used Attraction with a cloud to help his efforts.

Nothing happened at first besides standing in a large crater, but soon enough he began to rise.

RAISE!...

RAISE!...

RAISE!...

"O-Ok! W-We can do this! This i-is probably the o-only shot I'll get, so hang o-on, you guys! T-This asshole's gonna get hard-pressed!" Brave Heart shook as he locked onto Xero's positioning as he soon raised back in the air effectively.

RUSH!!!

SONIC BOOM!

Xero in his superpowered roid rage silently attempted to blast the two, until he looked behind him, as he felt something heavy to his rear.

"...?"

"Shit! H-He turned around!" Brave Heart realized with fear as the VPU looked at the trembling frame of Brave Heart and narrowed his eyes before rushing him.

BOOOM!

CONNECT!

...

...

...

CLASH!

"I-It's now or never! EAT THIS! Baron Cannon!!! " Nebula yelled the EXE Drive as the large beam of gravitational energy fired. It zoomed as it hit the god square on as he was pushed back by the attack, but started to resist once he had stopped being moved by it a few seconds in the confrontation of wills.

Gris and AL stopped as the former put the latter back onto his feet as they stared at the battle that was happening right now above them.

"Nebula... He's pushing him back...!" AL pointed out.

SHRINK!...

"Was. Xero is challenging his attack and winning. We have to make sure he gets him through that thing!" Gris gazed towards the portal as it slowly began to shrink.

"And it's shrinking! Come on!" AL mentioned as he gained back some energy from being carried and headed towards Xero.

FIREBALLS!!!

BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM!!!

He threw a volley of fireballs at the back of the evil god as he effortlessly tanked the blasts.

"Hokuto Shinken: Rakan Geki!"

PALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALM PALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALM PALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALM PALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALM PALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALM PALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALM PALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALMPALM!!!

"Tch!" Gris muttered as he got up close and used another move on the invader as he sprang up behind him and barraged his flank.

The two of them did their best to deter and weaken the opponent, but he held on strong as he simply snarled at them as he held back the blast.

Soon enough, he began to push the thing back as the three saw his dark energy blast form from his resistance as he stuck his hand INTO THE EXE DRIVE, and fired.

BLAST!

VOOM!!!

It cut through the Baron Cannon as Brave Heart had a surprised look.

"He's pushing back! No!" The god yelled from above.

"C'mon!" AL pleaded as he started using heavier attacks.

Gris followed suit with an attack that was more powerful than the one he used on AL. Why did that need to be specified? To make AL feel bad.

"Fuck you-" The afro warrior grimaced at the author's jab. He then steadied himself.

"Flaring Blazer!"

BOOOOM!!!

"Hokuto Shinken: Senjukai Ken!"

CRASH!!!

But Xero just burst into psychotic laughter as the wave neared Brave Heart.

"THIS!..." The VPU began.

"No!..." The CPU was denied.

"IS..!" Xero continued.

"NO, NO, NO!" Brave Heart frantically denied, his tone rising in desperation.

"THE END FOR YOU!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" The invader broke down into a mess of laughter as he jerked his hand forward, the beam approaching him once more.

"NO-NONONONONONONONONONOOO!!!!!" The god vehemently refuted, but the beams said otherwise as he would be about to be overtaken by the evil god.

How oxymoronically accurate. Yes, that is a real word. Don't question the author.

Well, was would have been the right tense to use, because the limiter rings on him would return, and he would revert to his stable state.

REVERT!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH- Urk?! What!" Xero questioned as the form left him.

His trump card had finally run out of juice, as a golden opportunity was bestowed onto the trio of fighters as they took full advantage of the opening.

STRUGGLE!

"NOW! FULL POWER! USE EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT IN YOU! HRAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Brave Heart yelled like a siren as he pushed with his remaining energy, as the beam slowly was being pushed back.

"Infernal Spear!" AL chanted as he jumped back before chucking the attack with the rest of his reserves. He shortly got out of dodge after.

THROW!

"Pulsar Grenade!" Gris pulled out of his- I mean, yelled as he generated a white flash of electricity before throwing it at the god.

He retracted as well as the moves honed in.

BZZT!!!

COMBINED EXPLOSIONS!

"Why you little shits-!" Xero paused from strengthening his attack to stave off the others, as the attack the duo hand landed took effect.

He tensed and cringe as his internal organs were taking a blow. He gagged blood as he had been thrown off just in time for the attacks to hit him.

"Grk! W-What the...?!" He coughed.

"How the hell did...!"

The distraction that undertook Xero was long enough for the Baron Cannon to overtake the menace as he was engulfed in the bright beam of pain. He yelled in agony before throwing out expletives left and right as he threatened despite his apparent defeat.

"YOU SLIMY FUCKERS!!! THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU, I'LL RIP YOUR EYES OUT OF YOUR SOCKETS AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR WINDPIPE! REARRANGE YOUR ORGANS SO YOU'LL SHIT OUT YOUR MOUTHS AND EAT OUT OF YOUR ASSHOLES! TEAR OUT YOUR SPINES AND USE THEM AS MY MOTHERFUCKING BACKSCRATCHERS! MARK MY WORDS! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The invader raged as he was defeated, and the beam sent him into the portal as Brave Heart directed it into the portal properly.

BLAST!!!-

SHUT!

At this point, the portal was barely open when this happened, and after the attack had passed through with Xero tangled in its clutches, it finally closed.

The battle had finally decided as Brave Heart would be panting in the air.

"Hah. Hah... Hah... Fucking... Hell... Man..." He cursed between breaths.

AL would be on the ground, leaning upon an arm as he watched the scene unfold with a mortified face at bodily harm threats.

"He's gonna WHAT." The dark-skinned man quaked at Xero's lingering threat.

Gris stared at the place the portal had disappeared. He sat with a knee bent as he had taken the least damage out of all of them.

REVERT!

Brave Heart reverted to Nebula as he fell from the sky. AL saw this but was once again too tired to move.

DASH!-

SKID!!!...

SLIDE!

CATCH!

Gris took this moment and jump into action as he ran and skid just in time to catch the god.

"Ugh!" The adventurer groaned as he was caught.

Nebula breathed heavily as he was in and out of consciousness.

"..."

Gris debated whether to kill him right there or not, but decided to leave him be, as he was the main reason they were all alive.

But he was also the main reason those two came. But without him, they would have surely died to Vhestora if she joined the fray as well, and would no doubt be overpowered by Xero if he had regained his bearings and killed him during the clash.

And he had enough respect for the warrior to not kill him off immediately. He was thinking about his cash reward, but no amount of money could substitute for his life.

He sighed.

He carried the god and laid him down next to his friend as he stood back up.

"Blargh..." Nebula breathed out.

The air was now mostly quiet as the trio now had some time to think over the events.

...

...

...

...

...

"Could... Could someone... Give me a res...?" Nebula asked groggily.

CHUG!

"I think I have... Oh. Just SP Chargers. Well, I guess that's for me." AL said as he took one out of his pocket and drank.

"Gris..." Nebula slurred.

"What." The assassin looked down at him.

"Does your healing... Work... On others...?" Nebula queried.

The hitman sighed before sitting cross-legged and put his hand on Nebula's shoulder with a bored expression.

The faint white aura extended to him as he suddenly began to heal his injuries.

"Thanks..." Nebula appreciated.

"I need you fully healed so we can plan our next move tomorrow." Gris began himself as he would explain.

"Next move? I thought you were dead set on killing him?" AL raised a cautious brow.

"Not when there's random destroyer gods out there to get his, and by proxy, our necks since we drove them away."

Gris continued as a certain national anthem played.

"150,000,000 Credits can't save me from those people, no matter how much I tell myself it can," Geis revealed the hit price as told the two.

"Wait. How much?!" The fire warrior asked incredulously.

"150."

"Thousand?" AL raised an intrigued brow.

''Million." The hitman corrected.

"ASIC? With that kind of dough? Pshaw." AL dismissed. "They probably just told you that so you'd accept it, then pick you off once you came for your funds." AL conceptualized.

Gris stayed quiet as he thought about it as AL continued.

"And even if you did kill us, you'd still have to deal with them, and the CPUs are trapped in the Gamindustri Graveyard. So no help there. The Candidates don't know, no help there either. The Oracles have no idea how to deal with a situation like this most likely, so you're on your own there too. And the armies in Gamindustri fighting against them is like putting ants against, well... A god. So we're your only help right now. Take it how you will." AL further painted a mental image for Gris to contextualize within his mind as he began to put the pieces together that ASIC might have played him.

"But I know you're probably intelligent enough to come up with the right decision."

GLUG!

AL finished as he downed another SP Charger as Gris thought.

Gris reluctantly accepted that AL might be right as he breathed out after some thinking. Then, with that acceptance, Nebula suggested a method.

...

"What... About the memory." Nebula asked as he brought up the glowing rock.

The other two turned to him.

"The one that Vhestora gave to you?" Gris remembered.

"One and only." Nebula reminded as he fished the dark rock out of his pocket as he used KI on his palms to keep it from reacting with him.

It still radiated the fear energy that Xero and Vhestora oozed.

"Where the hell did you get that thing?" AL queried once more.

"Vhestora gave it to me when she was getting wet over me. Their purpose was to recruit me as they accidentally dropped the one I originally used or something. She went on a tangent before she could specify. We can use this to transform one of you guys into another CPU God is what I'm try explained." Nebula explained as it radiated a dark aura.

The other two stared at it before Gris spoke.

"But it's corrupted. She wanted you to use it like that, so you'd become like one of them. And if AL or I used it as is, we'd probably become like them and wreak havoc, if not hideous and potentially powerful monsters." Gris went over the potential dangers and consequences.

"Agreed." AL would say as he looked at it.

"You're right, Gris. I'll have to find some kind of way to purify it before we use it. But how..." Nebula thought aloud as his wounds disappeared.

HEAL...

"Hmm..." AL mulled over.

HEAL...

"..." Gris pondered.

HEAL...

The trio all tried to come up with a solution, until AL came up with a theory, or rather a hypothesis.

"What if we neutralize the dark energies radiating from it?" AL wondered.

"That would be sound, if he had a method to do so," Gris responded to the idea. "That energy is about as unearthly as they come. It's as if it's the inverse of positivity itself." He remarked.

"Inverse... Negativity... Positivity... Fear... Shares...!" Nebula murmured as he thought up about something before something clicked in his brain. Gris caught on to his murmurs and questioned him accordingly.

"What are you on about?" Gris raised a brow as he asked.

"I think I... Might have a way to purify it, but I'll need to be at full power." Nebula told the others as Gris was still confused, and AL would ask him what he wanted to do.

"What is your plan?" AL would ask.

"Okay, so since I'm a CPU, I should have shares or be comprised of them or something along those lines. At the very least I should be able to manipulate share energy." Nebula started as he gave a rundown of his perceived physiology.

"I'm not sure how, since no one is believing in me at the moment, but, that's a conversation for another time. Shares are positive emotions and feelings and all that jazz that circulate from belief. So, if I infuse this rock with enough of it, it should be able to neutralize the effects of its supposed fear energy counterpart that's currently occupying it, and revert it to a CPU Memory like the one in the forest found. I hope." Nebula thoroughly explained.

"Surprisingly intelligent." AL nodded.

"I'm an ass, not an airhead. I thought I told you this already." Nebula deadpanned.

"Oh. So that's what you want to try. Alright. AL?" Gris called the flame user.

"What's up." He responded.

"Throw me an SP Charger." Gris directed.

"Why should I-" AL would say, still somewhat suspicious.

"Just do it." Gris deadpanned.

AL fished one out and throw it to Gris.

GLOW!

He caught the bottle and downed the beverage as he felt energized. He then put both hands on Nebula as the faint glow became bright.

The wounds on the CPU healed at a dramatically faster rate as they were gone in about 30 seconds tops.

TRANSFORM!

PILLAR!

CLASP!

Nebula then got up as he transformed into Brave Heart. He quickly clasped the rock in both hands as he concentrated and closed his eyes.

RADIATE!

Gris and AL watched intently as the god glowed a blue hue akin to the highlights of his clothes as share energy would radiate from him.

It was a pleasant and welcoming feeling as opposed to the dread and fear they felt from Xero and Vhestora. Not as much as puppies and rainbows, but more like breakfast from grandma and beating a boss in Dank Souls.

Brave Heart focused all the Share Energy that he mustered and directed it towards his palms.

He then concentrated it on the area where he wanted it to linger as the aura faded from his body and found its way to his hands.

POP!

SIZZLE!

COOK!

CRACKLE!...

After, the god felt some crackling and popping as well as sizzling as he felt the energies battling it out within his hands.

"Is he neutralizing it or is he cooking steak?" AL asked with an amused smirk.

Gris remained silent with a very faint smile cracked from the joke as they watched.

Then after a few more minutes, when Brave Heart opened his palms, the rock had been turned back to like how it was in Virtua Forest when Nebula opened his palms. Well to Nebula. To them, it looked like something you'd find in a chest in one of those MMORPGs.

"Just like how I remember it." The god reminisced.

"So what now? Who gets to use it? Who's even worthy?" Gris asked questions.

"Me, of course." AL pointed to himself with a thumb as he raised his chin and smirked with his eyes closed. "I mean, if Nebula can do it, so can I!" He said with a confident tone.

"You get turned into a hideous monster if you're not worthy. Did you not hear me say that?" Gris smirked back.

A moment of silence.

"Maaaan, fuck that. Let Gris do it, he's a monster already with the number of people he's cleaned." AL brushed off the opportunity as his expression changed.

"And I got a transformation already, he had to pussyfoot from Xero." He grinned as he brought up the fact.

"My pussyfooting saved your life, you asshat." Gris cursed as he looked at the rock. "Well, pussyfoot no more. If it's gonna them thee power to beat those bastards, then I'll take the risk. I'm worthy, right? I was going to beat someone who already had one, and I probably saved lives by driving them away." Gris would say as he took the rock.

"And killed many more before you got the godhood bestowing rock." AL reminded.

"I have not killed millions of people. Only hundreds. " Gris specified.

"Hundreds of thousands." The fire user put words in the assassin's mouths.

"I dunno, Gris. The memory will decide. And stop jinxing it, AL. This is important." Brave Heart chided his fried as he put down his hands.

The CPU handed it to Gris.

"...Am I supposed to eat it like Vhestora says because I don't think sweaty cleavage rock tastes very appetizing," Gris asked.

"No. I just touched mine with my bare hand." Brave Heart thought back as he would raise an alternative hand.

"Oh. How simple." Gris understood as he took the rock and pressed it on his forehead.

"That can work?" Brave Heart asked himself as he looked at the action.

GLOW!...

RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!!

But then, the rock reacted as it turned white and sank into Gris' body. Then soon after, the ground began to rumble.

TRANSFORM!

PILLAR!

Then, the hitman was covered in white light, with the signature green digital numbers encircling him.

Brave Heart instantly warped into a state of pleasant shock and anticipation as the assassin known as Gris would begin to transform.

AL on the other hand...

FLARE!

"HE GETS TO TRANSFORM!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! HOW IS HE WORTHY!? It should have been me! Not him! It's not fair!" The flame warrior cried in disappointment and outrage as the flame on his chest flared in response.

When the light cleared, and the pillar dissipated, a voice that was mature and sophisticated would answer him.

"Hmph. Haters will hate, I suppose."


A/N:

Heya there, reader!

If you're seeing this, this is a rewrite of the chapter, just to correct some repetition, fix some spelling errors, and improve the spelling quality, especially in the earlier chapters.

So remember, italics and bold is going for gold.

And the fight comes to an end. And just in time for another cliffhanger! How quaint. Lol-

But in all seriousness, Two gods are now in the mix. This means twice the amount of godly dilemmas, twice the amount of potentially OP MCs (I hope not), and twice the memes.

I just hope I don't mess it up, you guys.

And we got a reason for the random CPU Memory in the first chapter... Kinda sorta...

But now it's time for some comments.

Dasaucegod - Wha-

IsekaiFanBoy - Memes are the lifeblood of this fic. Never forget it. Instead, BELIEVE IT!

AmeythystPone - OK. So let me explain myself. For the Chapter 9 comments, thanks for noticing. I'm also pretty aware of how often the goddesses DO break the fourth wall, and how Neptune does it OBNOXIOUSLY more often than the others. But for the most part, I'm gonna let the bois like Neb and AL slide since they've already transgressed against the narrative and actively challenged the author. Others will be 50/50.

And for Linda being able to tank... Alright, I'll be honest it's just so that I can make her look good while looking bad so it cancels itself out. And for the tone of the story... Well let's put it this way; We use the memes to hide our pain. But when it's all fun and games, I assure you it's pog. Also no, no Conquest. May or may not write an alt fic about it though.

For the Chapter 12 points... Let's see here.

For Xero, fair enough. He's supposed to be overbearing so I understand if you feel that way.

And for Vhestora... The context of the lottery is vast, just like their body count, so... I mean you're not wrong, but it's kind of frog in the good mentality. And the lover category for her is blank right now, may or may not fill it at some point.

You got me with Gris though. Kind of embarrassing when I think about it. I'll put more effort into describing future canon cast. Sorry 'bout that. I've given my edgy boi too much description...!

You're right with character bloat also. I'll cap it before it outweighs the actual canon cast. I'll try to add a crossover character before adding more OCs. Don't want it to become like the Sonic Fandom. And about them being known... it's more like Hyperdimension is ignorant, than they're nobodies, so read more and I'll give exposition.

And then there's the escalation paradox. Using Boruto is a really good example, the only other thing that's worse than it in that regard is DBS, but at least for both of them, the fights are good enough. But I digress. I'm kind of torn between good power scaling and forsaking the narrative or making a decent fanfiction and scatterbrain the power scaling. I'll go with the latter for now as I keep their powers in check, and as this project goes on, I'll see what I can do to prevent it from becoming another escalation crisis.

And about the main cast's power. It's incredibly difficult to scale Hyperdimension Neptunia since some sources say they're FUCKING MULTIVERSAL-, but I will not, I repeat, WILL NOT leave the girls behind. I'll stick to canon powerups before I add some of my own later on.

And yeah, I'm with you. It's pretty lazy for a plot twist if you ask me. Think more on roundabout world-building and foreshadowing.

That's about it, so don't be too alarmed. For now-

Arrivederci.

Read and Review!
