A/N: Sorry, if these updates seem much slower than usual. Haven't had any time to come back to this.

Purple Heart (Neptune): ... There he is...

The purple haired CPU carefully halted to a stop mod flight as she laid her eyes upon a massive gathering of dark energy. Others stopped along side her as they also witnessed the darkness settling within their own world.

Purple Sister (Nepgear): I-is that really him in there?

Purple Heart (Neptune): There's only one way to find out...

The goddesses carefully descended near the black cloud as the energy slowly began to grow calm.

Orange Heart (Uzume): Do you think he remembers us?

Purple Heart (Neptune): Of course he does... He has to... Right?

White Heart (Blanc): Right... So you never mentioned this (Y/N) before, who is he anyways?

Purple Heart simply turned towards her fellow CPU before giving them a brief answer.

Purple Heart (Neptune): He's a friend. Just like us, he was also lost in the Zero Dimension before we eventually met... He's... His mind wasn't exactly stable so he eventually broke down... Turns out he was an immortal that lived many lives until... His own world was lost...

Neptune purposely left out the part that you were the one behind the destruction of your own world. However, Vert quicky noticed that the Planeptune CPU's eyes slowly shift towards the vortex.

Purple Heart (Neptune): He's in a lot of pain... We weren't sure what to believe when he confessed that he accidentally ended his world... But... I can sense the kindness in his heart.... All he wanted was to be set free from his curse.

After her words, the cloud quickly dispersed to reveal yourself radiating a black aura with dark lightning. Your eyes opened to reveal that the color has remained unchanged yet, everyone felt a cold piercing stare. Although, you quickly made the first move as every single one of the CPUs and Candidates were quickly trapped within a massive dome.

(Y/N): This... Will be your grave.

Everyone's eyes widened since you even included yourself within the mix. Furthermore, your voice seemed to have slightly change as everyone can sense a darker presence within you.

(Y/N): Now.... Let's begin.

Purple Sister (Nepgear): Wait, (Y/N)! We don't have to fight! Please! Just, let us help you!

You simply responded by allowing the dark dome slowly return to your body as everyone was met with sunlight. However, the darkness re-entering your body radiated a powerful, suffocating aura.

(Y/N): Then fight...

Your eyes were pitch black as multiple dark figures were formed from the ground, taking the shape of different individual shadow figures. Even your body was overtaken in pitch black until everyone noticed a large hooded figure behind you that eventually took your place. The figure was a black humanoid entity with dark blue energy that leaked out of it's body and a cracked skull underneath the hood.

Purple Heart (Neptune): W-what the?! This is (Y/N)'s power?!

(Y/N): I am the true God of Death! Cast aside because I've "failed" even my own duties!

Green Heart (Vert): This must mean that he's the Grim Reaper of his world....

Within an instant, A scythe made of black energy formed in your hands and you unleashed a powerful wide slash that easily connected with everyone of the CPU's present. All of them fell back from the attack but they quickly noticed that they never sustained any injuries from the slash.

White Heart (Blanc): We're not in injured yet...

White Heart then noticed that her vision began to blur as her head throbbd in pain. Soon, she felt herself become weaker by the second until she recovered but not as strong.

(Y/N); If you don't defeat me within a certain time limit, the curse will eventually drain your precious shares and... You will die.

Everyone's eyes widened as they began to feel a pain throb in their hearts.

White Heart (Blanc): Well I have something for you, bastard!!!

White Heart was the first to charge towards her enemy as she easily threw her axe with all of her strength. However, it was easily caught by own of the shadow figures and simply tossed back to the CPU with the same force. She was nearly caught by surprise but she was able to catch the weapon in time until a few of the figures suddenly appeared beside her.

Green Heart (Vert): Look out!

The green haired CPU rushed in time to easily defeat the figured with her spear.

White Heart (Blanc): Thanks...

Green Heart (Vert): Thank me later.

Orange Heart (Uzume): (Y/N), please! I know you can hear Uzume! Just come back to us!

There was a moment when the large hooded figure faded for a quick second to reveal yourself but it quicky  regenerated. Meanwhile, Nepgear took notice of the phenomenon as she defended herself from the attacking shadows.

Purple Sister (Nepgear): He's responding...

Black Heart (Noire): Whatever it is, these things have definitely slowed down!

The white haired goddess made quick work of other shadows with one swipe of her sword as they suddenly stopped in place.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Right! If one of us keeps calling out to him, then we can easily defeat that thing that's keeping him prisoner!

Just as the others finished defeating the rest of the shadows, they took another stance to challenge the floating reaper.

To be continued...
