Hyperdimension: A Thief's Tale

Chapter 27: risen demon

3rd person pov

Everyone went to Planeptune basilicom to celebrate another one of Y/n's victories. It was a beautiful night to celebrate on.

Neptune: you've done it again buddy.
Y/n: y-yeah.
IF: you seem kinda anxious. Is everything alright?
Y/n: yeah, but... A part of me wishes i didn't kill the three robots.

Compa put a hand on Y/n's shoulder.

Compa: you have us. You'll never lose us

Y/n smiled under his mask.

Y/n: i'm so glad i met you all.
Vert: let go of your worries and enjoy yourself.
Y/n: yeah.

Everyone was enjoying themselves, but there was something that felt... Off for Y/n.

Rom: are you ok, Y/n?
Y/n: i a-

Then he heard it. Mechanical footsteps. He turned to see Ku-21 in a damaged state and with only one arm.

Y/n: you!
Ku-21: i wi-will... Make you... S-s-suffer..!

The robot fired a laser at Y/n's chest. He grabbed it in pain.

Y/n: you..! I'll destroy yo-

Y/n got a headache and fell to his knees.

Y/n: n-no..! Guys..! L-leave..!

A pair of arms came out of Y/n's hoodie and the demon Y/n ripped the normal Y/n. He slowly approached the robot, but Blanc got in front to stop him.

Blanc: Y/n! Calm down!
Y/n?: ...?

The demonic Y/n punched Blanc and sent her flying.

Nepgear: Y/n!

The demon turned to see the goddesses have transformed.

Purple heart: one way or another... We have to stop you, Y/n.
Y/n?: ... Perish!

The demon rushed towards the goddesses with his spear and tried to slice them. Everyone was able to evade it. IF used wind magic, Uni shot her gun, and Orange heart fired echo shots at the demonic Y/n. The demon fired dark energy balls at the three and caused a dark explosion.

IF: d-damn..!

Green heart rushed at the demon, but was grabbed and thrown. Black heart stabbed the demon in the arm, but was punched and sent flying. Purple tried to slash the demon but was kicked back. White heart returned and tried to crush the demonic Y/n, but was shot by its demon gun. The white sisters rushed to everyone to protect them.

White sister rom and ram: Guys!

The demon approached Y/n's team slowly. Purple heart tried to talk to this demon.

Purple heart: Y/n! We know you're in there! You have to not let this demon control you!
Y/n: wha?

The demon's body started to contort and started to divide into two. There was a normal Y/n and a demonic Y/n. Everyone rushed to the normal Y/n.

Y/n: g-guys... I'm...

Purple sushed Y/n.

Purple heart: don't worry. We'll be by your side until you recover.
Y/n: th-thanks...

Evryone suddenly heard a creepy chuckle. They turned to see that it was the demonic Y/n laughing. The demon got back up.

Y/n?: it would appear that i have a body of my own. I no longer need you Y/n. Farwell!

The demonic Y/n opened a black and red portal and left. The goddesses untransformed.

IF: what was that?
Y/n: i... Think i understand... Now.

Y/n's regeneration healed him and he got back up.

Y/n: i know... Who that is.
Uni: who was that?
Y/n: that demon is my evil self, Lucifer.
Nepgear: Lucifer?
Y/n: there exists a definition for what a Lucifer is. But i have my own meaning for what one is.
Compa: what is it?
Y/n: the Lucifer is a person chosen by the devil to bring chaos to the world. The opposite of the Messiah, the person chosen by the god to bring peace to the world.
Noire: what will you do?
Y/n: i must... I must find him and prevent him from causing any sort of chaos.
Blanc: then we'll help you!
IF: we will be by your side!

Suddenly three more people arrived.

Rei: i wish to assist you as well.
Red: i heard about what happened.
Linda: don't die. You can't lose here.
Y/n: then we must hurry. I think i can take us to him.

Y/n concentrated his Umbrakinesis and created a black and red portal.

Y/n: red, linda, you must stay here. Pray for me.
Linda: we will.
Red: we'll hold on to hope.

Y/n looked at all the people and prayed that the power of the tarot cards will give him the strength to defeat Lucifer.

Y/n: guys... Once in, there's no way out until we defeat Lucifer. Are all you ready?

Everyone nodded. Y/n, the goddesses, the CPU candidates, IF, and compa entered the portal.

Red: please... Be safe.
Linda: come home safely...

Everyone left the portal.

Rei: are we here?
Y/n: ..!

Everyone looked in Y/n's direction. And saw a that they were in a large black city. People living here were wearing masquerade masks.

Y/n: Lucifer... What have you created?
IF: we won't get far by standing here. We have to find Lucifer.

And so began the mission to defeat the Lucifer before he brings chaos.
