The Fighters and The Swordsmen

Final Chapter: Fate Pt. 2

-James's P.O.V.- We made it to Zero Dimension to be greeted by a bunch of monsters that were super friendly to us. The others wanted to attack… But, Shane persuaded them to lower their weapons.

"It's fine, everyone. They are friends," Naomi told them. I sighed and petted a Baby Bug on the head.

"This is my home, The Tennoboushi base. Don't get too comfortable… We leave in an hour. I need to find Umio."

"Umio?" Nepgear asked.

"A guy lives here with you 2?" Uni asked. Naomi scratched the back of her head and looked down.

"You could say that, yeah…" Naomi muttered.

"Let me guess… He is a floating fish," Sef said as she rolled her eyes. Naomi looked at Sef and blinked.

"I was kidding…" I smirked and chuckled as well as Seth.

"You're right… Umio is a special case. Let's go meet him, Naomi. Nomia, Nepgear, Bradley, come with me," I said. Naomi looked at me in a puzzled expression.

"Trust him… He knows what he is talking about," Bradley told Naomi. She sighed and led us to a rather weird looking lab that is littered with papers and books.

"Umioooooo! Where are you?!" Naomi called. A rather weird looking fish hovers up from underneath a pile of papers and looked at us.

"Naomi! You are back so soon?!" Umio asked. Naomi smiled and hugged Umio.

"Good to see you, Umio-sama… Is Onee Chan here?" Naomi asked Umio. Umio sighed and shook his head.

"Uzume went off somewhere… And has not come back yet," Umio told her worriedly.

"Nngh… Uzume…" Naomi said sadly. She looked down at the ground. I patted her shoulder and she looked up at me.

"We will find her, Naomi. Promise," I told her. Naomi smiled and nods her head.

"Thank you," Naomi told me.

"So… What should we do about this in the meantime?" Nepgear asked.

"I will get accustomed to this place… In the meantime, you search around for clues on where Uzume could be," I told Nepgear and Bradley. They both nodded at me and rushed off with Naomi following close behind. I then turned to Umio and smiled.

"May I ask how you all know Naomi?" Umio asked. I nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Actually, Nepgear and Bradley met her before I did," I told Umio, "Also… I may not look like it… But, I know a lot about Zero Dimension. If you're interested in listening…" Umio hovered over to me and lands on my head.

"I am listening," Umio smiled.

-3rd Person P.O.V.- Bradley, Naomi, and Nepgear went back to the main hall where the others were and stopped. The group looked at them as they passed by.

"Something wrong?" Uni asked.

"We are gonna search for clues… See if we can find out where Uzume and Ance are. It is possible that they are being held somewhere…" Naomi said, "Who's in?" Shane looked at where they came out of as well as Seth.

"James is gonna be fine here… He needs to adjust to the sudden dimension change," Bradley told them.

"Then…We will stay behind and protect him," Shane said.

"Yeah… We will," Seth said seriously. He and Shane went into the room where James and Umio were talking.

"We will contact when we find anything!" Naomi called, "Okay, guys… Let's hurry!" She rushed off and the others followed. Soon, they came across a ruined train station.

"This is where some of the Zero Dimension monsters live… Maybe one of them knows where we can find Uzume." Suddenly, an explosion shook the ground.

"What was that?!" Sef yelled. They heard a loud cry of pain afterwards. Naomi quickly hopped on the railing and dove down into the station.

"Hey, you dummy! Wait a second!" Ram called. She looked at Bradley and Nepgear.

"Come on!" Bradley called as he hopped over the railing and lands in the station. Everyone followed behind him and rushed after Naomi. They found her battling a monster while standing in front of a girl that looked similar to her and a lot older than her. The girl was laying facedown on the ground, trying to get up.

"Uzume, don't push it! I will protect you!" Naomi told her. Uzume got back up and held her bleeding right arm.

"No, sis… You can't handle this alone. Let me help you…" Uzume told her and winced in pain.

"Damn… If Shane was here, she would heal faster. Oh, well… Time to cut out losses. Rom, heal Uzume. Everyone, let's give Naomi a hand!" Bradley called. They agreed and charged into battle.

"Point Blank Slash!" Nepgear called as she slashed the monster at point blank range and created a space defying line that knocked the monster into a wall.

"Hellion Blaze!" Uni called as she fired several hundred incendiary bullets at the monster and set it ablaze.

"I learned this move myself! Glacier Tremor!" Ram called as she slammed her right hand into the ground and caused several glaciers to trap the monster inside of them.

"Super God Fist!" Bradley called as he punched the glacier full force. It cracked the glacier apart and sent it into the ceiling. The monster sunk to the ground.

"Cold? Let's heat you up… Boiling Torrent," Sef called as a wave of hot water smashed the monster into the ground.

"Silent Slash," Karl called as he appeared above the monster and stabbed it in the chest. Naomi played a few chords on her guitar and hundreds of fists appeared above the monster.

"Head Bangin' Blitz!" Naomi called as Karl hops out of the way. The fists rained down on the monster and beat it into unconsciousness. Naomi sank to her knees as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Phew… Thank goodness," Naomi panted. Uzume knelt beside Naomi and hugged her with her unbruised arm.

"I am glad you are safe…" Uzume told her. Naomi bursts into tears as she hugged Uzume.

"Waaaaaaahhhhhh! Onee Chan!" Naomi bawled. Uzume sighed and pets Naomi softly on the head.

"Shh… No need to cry," Uzume smiled as she held her little sister. The CPUS Candidates looked on in relief as the Tennoboushi sisters were reunited as the others smiled. Bradley nods his head and walked up to Uzume.

"I really hate to break up the reunion… But, we have an emergency. Have you seen this girl?" He asked Uzume as he held up a photo of Ance. Uzume nods her head seriously.

"Yeah… She was with this creepy ass guy with white skin," Uzume told them.

"James doesn't have white skin," Uni said.

"Semaj has white skin… I know… Where did you see him last?" Bradley asked her.

"I was chasing him not too long ago. He sent that strong monster after me and went on ahead down the tunnel," Uzume told him as Naomi looked at Uzume.

"Maybe Ance is down that same tunnel. I will contact James and tell him to meet us down here," Bradley said as he pulled out a green and purple wristwatch, "James, come in!"

-James's P.O.V.- Umio lets out a hearty laugh as he listened to the many misadventures I had back in my dimension and Hyperdimension.

"Did you really punch a teacher?" Umio asked me.

"It was an accident! I tripped over my own feet!" I complained. Umio nods his head and looked at Seth. Seth nods his head in confirmation. Shana sighed and shook her head.

"It's true… He knocked the hell out of Ms. Blaine," Seth chuckled. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and Bradley's face appeared on the screen.

"What is it? Found something?" I asked.

"We know where Ance is! Come to this location immediately!" Bradley told me. I stood up quickly and looked at Seth and Shana. They also stood up and nodded at me.

"Is something wrong?" Umio asked me.

"We found out where my sister is being held. Wanna tag along?" I asked. Umio lands on my shoulder and nods.

"Let us go," Umio told me.

"All right, Koan… Hope this gift you gave me works. Kamui!" I called as my left eye had a weird windmill pattern that looked similar to a shuriken in the middle of it. We vanished into a distortion and reappeared at the location Bradley gave us.

"Ha! That crazy man had some awesome powers after all! Oww!" I held my hand over my eye as it throbbed slightly.

"Okay… I am sorry for saying crazy." I blinked my left eye and sighed. The throbbing stopped and Seth patted my shoulder.

"So… How does it feel having the Sharingan?" Seth asked me. I glanced at him and frowned.

"Zip it. Anyway… Let's get a move on," I said as we moved on ahead. We met up with the group not too long after that.

"How did you come here so fast?" Bradley asked me in surprise.

"Sharingan," I told them as I showed them my left eye.

"Is that Itachi's eye?!" Bradley gasped.

"Shisui's eye," I said, "I like him the best. And, I have Sasuke's Rinnegan eye. Cool, huh?"

"Seriously?" Uni asked me.

"Hush," I told her. Bradley had a happy look on his face as he looked at my eyes.

"So awesome!" Bradley called. Uzume had a sweatdrop on her forehead. She then turned to her little sister and smiled.

"Looks like you found a good one…" Uzume smirked as she ruffled her hair. Naomi blushed and looked down.

"He is dating Nepgear…" Naomi blushed. Bradley and I stopped and looked at Naomi.

"Excuse me? You like me?" Bradley asked Naomi. Naomi blushed and sighed.

"Well… Let's settle this later. We have a job to do," I said. Naomi and Bradley agreed and we moved on ahead.

-Unknown P.O.V.- Hehehehe… Here they come… They are almost here. Once they are here… I will show them what a true villain is all about… (Smack)

"Kyaaaah!" The bitch screamed. She had a rather delicious look on her face… Gave me a rather big hard on. I smirked and groped her breasts again. She proceeded to kick me in the nuts. I screamed with pleasure as I smacked her ass again. She winced and glared at me.

"I ain't your Jamie… Remember that," I told her. She growled at me and I laughed at her.

"Hey, you!" My voice called to me. I raised my head to face my positive side glaring at me.

"Sup, bitch?" I smirked. James glared at me with such rage in his eyes. The others stood behind him.

"You! Where is Ance?!" Uzume called to me.

-3rd Person P.O.V.- "Right here!" Semaj smirked as he lifts Ance up over his shoulder. She pounds on his back.

"Put me down, you bastard!" Ance snarled. Semaj laughed and rolled his eyes.

"I will put your ass inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi! Put her DOWN!" James snarled. The Sharingan appeared in his left eye as he glared at Semaj.

"You need both eyes to do that, bro… Get serious," Semaj smirked. Seth placed a hand on James's shoulder. James looked back at Seth and sighed.

"I got it. We came here for a reason… To save our sister," James said seriously. He clenched his fist as he held his katana out in front of him. Semaj tossed Ance aside and called a blue katana to his side.

"Come on… Let's go," Semaj smirked as he charged at James. Unknown slammed Semaj into the ground and hopped over him. James nodded his head and charged into battle. The CPU Candidates rushed behind him was well as Uzume. MarvelousAQL and Karl disappeared into a puff of smoke and reappeared behind Ance.

"Lady Author Heart… Are you all right? Are you unharmed?" Karl asked Ance.

"What took you guys so long?" Ance groaned.

"Sorry… We had to be ready…" Marvy told her. Ance smiled as Karl and Marvy carried her over to the group.

"Nice stealth skills," Sef told them.

"Silent like a cat," Marvy smiled.

"Looks like your hostage isn't there anymore," Bradley told Semaj as he kicks him.

"She was a whore anyway…" Semaj laughed. James high kicked him in the face.

"Amaterasu!" James yelled as black flames surrounded Semaj. He jumped out of the way and the flames chased after him.

"Guys, don't touch the flames! You won't be able to put them out!" Seth told the group.

"Really?!" Sef asked.

"Yep… It's flames that the Sharingan emit," Seth said. Blood trickles down James's eye as the flames created a circle around him, Unknown, and Semaj.

"Can it ever be put out?!" Uni asked him.

"Only the caster can put the flames out," James said as he glanced back at the Candidates, "Like this…" The flames disappeared as soon as he closed his left eye.

"If James has the Sharingan… Shouldn't he have…" Bradley said.

"He hasn't done enough training to have it," Semaj smirked. James frowned and scoffed.

"How would you know?" James asked as he was surrounded in a green and red aura. Everyone looked in surprise as James disappeared into a large green and red giant with large green and red wings. It was dressed in a samurai kimono and sandals and it held a large red sword in its right hand.

"A Susano'o?!" Semaj gasped, "That is not fair! I don't have that shit!"

"You mad, bro?" James called. Semaj growled at him. Ance looked on in shock.

"What? How did he get this powerful in a few days? Who gave him these powers?" She asked curiously. She shook her head and slowly got to her feet.

"Miss Ance, you can't fight right now… Please, you must rest," Rom told Ance. Ance looked at Rom and sighed.

"My little brother is fighting right now… I have to help," Ance said seriously.

"Let Unknown help James… You need to rest," Uni told her. Unknown looked back at Ance and nods. She blinked and nods back.

"Yasaka Magatama," James chanted. A 3 beaded circle appeared in the left hand of the Susano'o. It threw the circle at Semaj and exploded on contact. Semaj lands on the ground as Unknown kicks him in the face. Semaj skidded across the ground and got back up to his feet.

"All that training with Koan paid off well… Bradley, I can sense you. What is it?" James said as he looked behind him. Bradley was hovering behind him with a serious look on his face.

."Let me take the lead here… I got something to show you," Bradley told James. He had achieved something beyond his own comprehension and James's knowledge. It was important that James had to know about it.

"All right… Go ahead," James said as the Susano'o disappeared, "Besides… I am gonna push my limit soon. What do you have to…" Bradley stabbed his hand out of nowhere with a Kunai!

"Excuse me! What are you doing?!"

"Unleashing a demon…" Bradley told him as the blood dropped from his hand, "Come and get it, WereDemon!"

"WereWhat?" James asked in a confused tone as he looked at Bradley. Bradley grew several inches as he grew fur all over his body and horns on his head. He got a more primal look in his eyes as he continued to grow until he towered over the Author Candidate. James stared at Bradley in shock as the others (Excluding Naomi, Nomia, and Nepgear stepped a few feet away.

"There he goes again… Yaaaaaawn…" Homie yawned.

"If he is gonna do that every time… This is gonna get repetitive," Naomi groaned.

"You know what he is turning into?!" Uzume yelled.

"He dubs it WereDemon… Werewolf because of the whole fur thing… Demon because of the horns and eyes," Nepgear said, "He is super fast in this form and…"

"Suuuuuper stretchy," Nomia yawned.

"Like Sonic the Werehog from Sonic Unleashed?!" James yelled as he looked back at everyone, "Hahahahahahah! Ironic!"

"Why?" Semaj asked fearfully.

"Bradley originally was based on Sonic the Hedgehog… Or rather son of Sonic the Hedgehog. Didn't think that part would carry over to here!" James laughed, "Werehog however was slow as molasses… WereDemon is fast… Go figure." Bradley grunted and sped towards Semaj. James hops on Bradley's back and held his sword up.

"Moon Slash Mk. 2!" James yelled as he delivered a heavy downward slash and a white slash wave crashes into Semaj. Bradley slashed Semaj in the stomach with his 3 inch claws and smashed his fists down onto his head. Semaj shook his head and leaped back to hold his katana in the air.

"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" Semaj yelled as he unleashed a large white wave at Bradley and James.

"What?! He can do that, too?!" James yelled. He and Bradley were sent flying into a wall and slid down the wall as Bradley returned to normal. Both were knocked unconscious.

"Bradley! James!" Nepgear called. Semaj walked over to them and spat blood onto the ground.

"Now for the coup de grat…" Semaj smirked. Nepgear looked on in horror as her boyfriend and older brotherly like best friend were about to get slaughtered. She was surrounded in a purple aura as she held up her beam saber and charged at Semaj. She countered the downward slash and knocked it upwards.

"No! I won't let you!" Nepgear told Semaj as he glared at her, "I will protect them! Let's go, me and you!" Nepgear was surrounded in a sky blue light and she changed into a skintight purple and blue bodysuit with purple arm length gloves and thigh high boots. She held a blue futuristic sniper rifle gunblade in her right hand as she points it at Semaj.

"Nepgear… Transformed?!" Seth gasped, "That's not supposed to happen! Not at this time!"

"What do you mean?" Shana asked Seth. He looked down and shook his head.

"She is supposed to transform farther down the line," Seth said, "When the CPUs are supposed to be kidnapped…"

"What?" Uzume said, "There are more than one?"

"Haaaaaa!" Purple Sister yelled as she swung her gunblade hard and fast at Semaj and knocked him away from James and Bradley. Both awaken to hear Purple Sister's battle cry. Bradley looked on in sheer shock.

"Nepgear?!" Bradley gasped. She looked back at Bradley and nods at Bradley. He got back up as his hair turned golden yellow and spiked upwards and his eyes turned a lighter green.

"Super…" Seth gasped.

"Super Sayain?!" James gasped, "How?!"

"Don't sweat the details, James… I got this," Bradley told James. James stared at Bradley in shock… He couldn't believe he was staring at a Super Sayain up close like this… And, it was his own creation and best friend. James slowly got to his feet and blinked as he removed his glasses.

"What?"

"I don't know… It's like… I can see more clearly without my glasses for the first time in my life," James said as he looked around. Due to having the Sharingan and Rinnegan, his vision was perfect… He can see more clearly.

"So? Why bother? You still are a nerd," Semaj joked.

"Nerds are awesome! Take it back!" Bradley, Purple Sister, and James yelled at the same time.

"Eff you to hell!" James yelled. Bradley looked at James and nods as he and Purple Sister charged at Semaj. He puts up his guard and blocked both their attacks. James slashed through Semaj's guard and Bradley uppercuts Semaj in the chin. Unknown comes out of nowhere and kicked Semaj in the face.

"Take this! M.P.B.L.!" Purple Sister yelled as she fired a large purple beam at Semaj point blank. He didn't have enough time to dodge and was hit with the beam! He crashed to the ground and slowly got up. He panted as he glared at the group.

"Damn you… DAMN YOU ALL!" Semaj yelled as he got up and charged at them. Uni points her rifle at him and smirked.

"Bull's-eye," Uni said, "EX MULTI BLASTER!" A blue beam raced out of the rifle and pierced Semaj in the stomach. He stopped as Rom and Ram raised their wands and nodded at each other.

"Super Glacier Crush!" Rom and Ram called at the same time as an iceberg shot out of the ground and surrounded Semaj.

"Mister James! Mister Seth! Go for it!" Rom called. James and Seth nods at each other.

"I'm counting on you, little brother," Seth told him.

"Yeah, I know," James smirked as his eyes turned into the Sharingan and Rinnegan, "Kamui!" Seth and James vanished into thin air as Semaj looked around. They reappeared in front of Semaj and Seth double kicked Semaj in the face. James slashed Semaj in the chest and kicked him in the face.

"Take it all, bitch!" Seth yelled as he shot several bullets into Semaj's chest. James lands several feet away from Semaj and held a large black sphere in his right hand.

"Synchronize, Seth!" James yelled as Seth pulled out a dagger.

-EXE Drive: Burning Dagger- James and Seth simultaneously attacked Semaj with their attacks as James smashed the sphere into Sean's back and Seth stabbed him in the chest. Semaj screamed in pain as blood shot out of his mouth.

"Amaterasu!" James yelled as his left eye began to bleed. Black flames surrounded Semaj and he screamed louder in pain as the fire scorched his body.

"Now… The finisher," Seth said as he pulled out his Magnums. James transformed into Author Candidate and Seth shot Semaj multiple times and James followed up with a final downward slash that was followed by a fiery explosion. Semaj disappeared into the explosion still screaming bloody murder. James stood up as a dark mist appeared in front of him and turned into a white mist. The mist went into James's body as he sighed with relief. He went over to Ance and looked at her as she looked at him. She hugs him and Seth and smiled.

"Thank you both…" Ance said softly.

"Mmhmm… No problem," Seth smirked as he hugged her back. James didn't reply… Instead, he hugged her tightly.

"I know… Sorry for worrying you, little brother," Ance told him as she stroked his head. James nods his head and smiled. Shana smiled kindly as she looked at the reunited family.

"I hate to break up the family reunion… But, we have a plan to ensue," Karl said seriously.

"Right… I almost forgot," James said seriously as he let go of Ance, "We have bigger things to worry about. Naomi…"

"You got it!" Naomi nods her head. She pulls out the seal and the portal opens up. Everyone went inside the portal except Naomi, Uzume, and James.

"Aren't you coming?" James asked them.

"Sorry… This is where we part ways for now…" Naomi told James, "We have a dimension to protect. We will meet again."

"Yeah… This isn't the last time we will meet," Uzume told James. James nodded and turned to the portal.

"See ya later!" Naomi called as James hopped into the portal.

-Deadmemsion; Meanwhile- Akina back flipped and slashed a Black Demon in half. She looked behind her and another charged at her. Stephen uppercut it and fired a Hadoken at it and blew it up. He lands and looked at Akina.

"Thanks, S," Akins smiled. Stephen nods and tied the headband tight around his forehead, his focus hardening.

"Time to get serious. Ha!" Stephen called as he was surrounded in a rainbow aura.

"This is the result of my training! Let's go!" Stephen smirked. Nona shot several Black Demons into smoke and smirked.

"Yeah, boy!" He smirked as he looked at Black Heart, "Did ya see that, Lonely Heart?"

"Shut your trap!" Black Heart scolded him as she glared at him. Nona laughed and put his guns away to pull out his sword. Purple Heart and Zachary bashed and slashed some Black Demons into smoke.

"This is more intense than our love making sessions, Zackie…" Purple Heart joked as she kicked one demon in the face.

"Lady Neptune… Do not bring such matters up in a battle," Zackery sighed. Purple Heart laughed and nods her head.

"All right… I won't," Purple Heart smiled. IF and Green Heart stood back to back as they were surrounded in Black Demons.

"This is vexing…" Green Heart said seriously.

"I have an idea," IF smirked as she looked at Green Heart. Green Heart nods and IF's hair changes to blazing red and her outfit colors changed to red and orange and white.

"To the flames of Hell, I will smite thee! Devil's Banquet!" IF slammed both her Qatars into the ground and white flames shot out of the ground all around them.

"I will take it from here… Heavenly Spear!" Green Heart called as she rained down thousands of spears from the sky onto the burning Black Demons.

"Was that a good call?"

"Hell, yeah!" IF smirked as she nods her head. White Heart charges through the Demons and slashed through each one with her giant axe. Sora kept the incoming ones off her with her pyrokinesis.

"Phew! This is getting hot! And, not in a good way!" Sora panted as she looked around.

"Why are you talking about?" White Heart asked.

"I mean… They just keep coming! We''ll run out of steam before we can get to France!" Sora stated the obvious. White Heart frowned and nods her head.

"You're right… We have to figure out something!" White Heart said, "We need the others!"

"Lady White Heart!" Sora called as she flew over to her. A Black Demon charged at White Heart full speed. White Heart braced for impact… But nothing happened. She opened her eyes and saw the Black Demon getting shot several times. She looked down to see Garland pointing his rifle upwards towards her. He saluted and raced back into battle. The Black Demon disappeared into smoke as White Heart smirked and Sora came up right next to her.

"Thank goodness for his marksmanship," Sora sighed.

"…I know," White Heart agreed. Garland skids to a stop behind a pillar and reloads his rifle. Compastops next to him and sighed.

"That was a nice save, Gar-Gar…" Compa told Garland.

"Thanks, Compa… Just have to hold out until reinforcements come," Garland said as a metal Dogoo hops onto his shoulder as well as a brown spotted Dogoo.

"Meta and Bone? What is it?"

"Gargoo, we thought of a cool attack!" Meta told Garland. Garland nods his head and looked at Bone.

"Dogoo!" Bone barked happily as he shrank into a shotgun bullet with Meta.

"Put us in!" Meta told Garland.

"But…" Garland said, "You're a shotgun bullet…" They melded into a rifle bullet.

"Never mind…" He loaded the Dogoo bullet into the gun and got ready to fire.

"Dogoo Shuffle!" Bone and Meta called as Garland fired the Dogoo bullet at France. They spun in a drill like formation and scored a direct hit on France while his guard was down! He fell over and got back up after a few seconds, prying the Dogoos off of his chest. He tossed them aside and glared in Garland and Compa's direction.

"Uh oh… That didn't work so well…" Compa said softly. France snarled and charged at Garland and Compa. Everyone was busy fighting the Black Demons to notice this… But, Black Heart noticed it.

"Garland!" Black Heart yelled. Stephen turned to the scene and nods to Akina. He hops onto Akina's scythe blade and she threw him full force at France.

"Hot Lethal Tornado!" Stephen yelled as he delivered a burning roundhouse kick right at France's side. France crashed into a pillar and knocked it down on top of him.

"Ha! Bull's-eye!" Akins called as she spun her scythe at her side.

"Darkest Blood," France called as a thin line appeared and hundreds of needles raced at Stephen and Garland. It impaled Stephen in the left side several times and knocked him to the ground. Garland pushed Compa down and was hit in the back several times as he covered Compa with his body.

"Garland! Stephen!" Akina called. France pulls himself out of the wreckage and walked towards Akins with a displeased look on his face. Akina took a few steps back and readied herself for battle.

"You think this will help you win? Think again…" France frowned as he called his scythe to his side. He got up close to her and glared at her.

"You are my Death Sister… Remember that. You will not defy me."

"Eff your way!" Akins told him seriously. France sighed and nods his head.

"Then… I will have no choice…" France said as he raised his scythe above him.

"Shooting Star Slash!" a voice called as James reappeared in front of France and Akina and slashed France in a star shaped pattern. Akina sighed with relief as she looked at James when he looked back at her.

"Sorry I am late… Had to pick up a friend," James told her as Lawliana slammed her buster sword down onto the ground.

"This is where the party's at?" Lawliana asked, "Aw yeah!"

"You picked her up?" Akina asked James.

"Don't be like that… She can help," James told her, "The others are here, too…" James's group showed up to give Akina's group a hand.

"Neptune!" Purple Sister called.

"Nepgear? You have obtained your HDD!" Purple Heart gasped. Purple Sister nods and giggles.

"Bradley and James yelled me achieve it," Purple Sister told Purple Heart.

"I see…" Purple Heart smirked. Zackery pats Purple Sister on the head.

"Good work, sweetie…" Zackery smiled.

"Thank you… Hehehe…" she giggled. Suddenly, Zackery was hit with a rather large ball of black energy.

"Zack?!" Purple Heart gasped.

"GAAAAAAAHHHH!" Zackery yelled in pain as he sunk to his knees.

"Forgot about me? How foolish of you…" a voice called as a woman dressed in gothic clothing walked up to them.

"Who are you?! What did you do to Zack?!" Purple Heart yelled.

"You forget my name, girl? How rude!" she smirked.

"Mother…" a familiar voice called. Ginko and Melissa walked up to her sides.

"Yes, Ginko and Melissa?" She asked her daughters.

"Should we really be interfering like this?" Melissa asked.

"Yes… Our time will come soon. Why not have a little fun In the meantime?" She laughed.

"Oh, crap! Arfoire showed up now?!" James thought as he glanced over at them.

"What is going on with Zackery?!" Akina asked James.

"I don't know… Arfoire never had that ability before. This is new to me," James explained seriously.

"…This is bad," Akina said.

"Why?" James said.

"Stephen and Garland are down… Blanny and Sora are getting surrounded… And, Zack is getting wrecked! What do we do?!" she told him. James sighed and smacked Akina in the back of the head with a leek that appeared out of nowhere.

"What…"

"Stop freaking out… Seriously, it is like you want me to do that…" James told her, "We got this! Don't doubt me!" Akina looked at James with a calm look on her face.

"You… You will perish here," France called as he stood up, "Darkest Blood." He summoned the thin line again and fired thousands of needles at James and Akina.

"JAMIE! LOOK OUT!" Akina screamed as she pushed James out of the way… And was impaled by the needles!

"AKINAAAAAAAA!" James screamed in horror. Everyone turned to her as she fell back on her back and blood poured out of her mouth and her wounds. James crawled quickly over to her and held her in his arms.

"No… Not you, Aki… Please, don't do this! Akina…" James panicked as he pulled one needle out of her arm. Akina coughed out a large amount of blood and looked up at James with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I… Sorry… Jamie… I… Wish… I… Had… More… Time…" Akina struggled to say. James held her close to his heart as she slowly reached her left hand up to his face.

"I… Love… You… So… Much… Jamie… Remember… That…" Akina then kissed him softly on the lips and bowed her head as the life was sucked out of her body and her eyes dulled to lifelessness. James looked at his now dead girlfriend in his arms as a demonic red and black aura surrounded him.

(Play I May Fall from RWBY soundtrack Season 3)

"It had to be done… For her coronation," France said seriously. James felt something snap Inside him somewhere as a black Hollow mask appeared on his face and his small afro changed into long red hair and he changed into some red and black battle torn samurai clothing.

"GRROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRR!" He roared ferociously as he raised his head up to the sky.

"What is happening? This isn't what was supposed to happen!" Arfoire gasped. Author Heart looked on in shock as she worked on eliminating the Black Demons.

"What is this transformation?" Unknown thought.

"Vasto… Lorde… Candidate," Author Heart said slowly, "He is consumed by rage."

"Was that really a good idea?!" Unknown told France. Zackery pants and gasped as he looked up at himself. Purple Heart and Purple Sister looked on in shock.

"What did you do to me?!" Zackery asked seriously.

"I cloned you… That one will obey me," Arfoire smirked. Zackery frowned and glared at his evil clone. It stared back at him with a lot of malice behind his stare.

"Nep Jr… Go help Bradley. Zackie and I got this," Purple Heart told Purple Sister.

"Okay… Be careful," she said as she flew off. James charged at France and France countered the incoming attack. Bradley looked on in shock as he turned to Purple Sister flying towards them.

"Snap out of it! We have to stop him before he loses his humanity!" Purple Sister told Bradley. He nods his head and regained his composure.

"What can we do to help him? A CUP or a Super Sayain alone could pale in comparison," Bradley told her. She sighed and thought about it for a second.

"Let me try and pull him out," Shana called as she walked up to them.

"Are you sure?" Bradley asked. Shana nods and looked towards James and France's battle. Meanwhile, Purple Heart, Zackery, and his clone were in the heat of battle when the clone stopped.

"Hmm?" Zackery said. The clone scoffed and folded his arms.

"You aren't fighting at full strength. Come on…" the clone said seriously. Zackery frowned and shook his head.

"No. I am not going to listen to you…" Zackery told him. James threw France hard and fast at a wall and punched him in the stomach a few times.

"Jamie! Stop it! You're gonna lose yourself!" Shana called as she rushed to him and grabbed his arm. He slowly turned to Shana and looked at her. She had a sad look on her face as she held his arm. He swiped her away and glared at her. He then turned away from France and pointed his right index finger at Shana. She looked on in horror as a small black ball appeared in front of his finger.

"Black Cero," James said darkly as the ball expanded into a vast black beam that raced at Shana.

"Shana!" Author Heart yelled as she got in the way and took the full brunt of the attack. As the attack disappeared, France appeared behind James and destroyed the Hollow mask on James's face, causing James to return to normal form and fall unconscious. Author Heart fell forward as well as black embers burned on her body.

"Ance!" Shana panicked as she knelt beside her, "Oh, god…"

"…" France didn't say a word as he stood over James. Then, Bradley kicked France in the back of the head and knocked him down to the ground.

"What?"

"I had enough of standing on the sidelines! You will not kill anyone else!" Bradley snarled as he was surrounded in a white light.

"…? How are you emitting more energy than the Vasto Lorde Candidate?" France asked seriously. Bradley smirked and chuckled.

"I remember something James told me before… I am his creation. He made me with a whole set of powers that make me an actual demigod…" Bradley told him, "To avenge a fallen friend… I will not have you kill my creator!" He was surrounded in a pillar of light as he said that. France looked on in shock as Bradley changed into a green cloak over a green t shirt, green pants, white shoes and gloves, and a pair of green and white goggles on his forehead.

"This ends now, Death Heart! Get ready!" Bradley told France. France transformed into Death Heart and swung his scythe at his side.

"This is a first… Author Candidate isn't the only one who makes my blood boil…" Death Heart smirked, "Fine then… Come! Let us enjoy the banquet of death!" Bradley and Death Heart flew up into the sky and began their battle as Ance slowly woke up.

"Ance!" Shana gasped.

"Shana… What happened?" Ance frowned, "Where's… James?"

"He nearly lost it…" Shana said, "He almost killed me… And you…"

"Is he okay?" Ance said as she sat up.

"…" Shana didn't reply as she looked over at James's body. It was still unconscious. Ance went over to his body and placed a hand over his heart.

"Oh, Jamie… If only you weren't so reckless and simpleminded…" Ance sighed as she looked at him. Seth went over to Ance and knelt beside her.

"What can we do right now? The Black Demons are all gone as soon as he transformed…" Seth told Ance.

"Then… It's time I keep my promise," Ance said seriously as she stood up, "I promised him I would be there to always protect him. Even in death…"

"What?!" Unknown yelled, "You can't mean..."

"I do… I am gonna sacrifice myself to seal me and France away long enough for him to come to his senses. Don't know how long that is gonna be… But, it is the only way," Ance said as she looked at France and Bradley battling, "This isn't goodbye… But, more like see you all later. Tell Jamie I died… Protecting him." She walked away from them and summoned out a yellow book.

"The book of CHAOSSES…" Shana said as she looked at Ance, "You really are gonna do it…"

"What if it doesn't work?" Marvy asked.

"Then… CHAOSSES will cease to exist and our Ultimension will perish," Ance told her, "This skill is a big gamble. I know…" She opened the book and turned to a certain page.

"CHAOSSES, with your mighty blessing… Cure the chosen ones with your guidance," Ance chanted. A calm blue light surrounded her body.

"Die, boy!" Death Heart yelled as he charged at Bradley again.

"I don't think so!" Bradley yelled. Suddenly, a red katana pierced right into Death Heart's chest! Ance looked down and saw James looking up with his arm raised.

"Choke on that… Bitch…" James groaned and passed out again. Tears streamed down Ance's cheeks as she looked at him.

"I love you, Jamie… No matter what…" Ance told James softly. She looked back up to the sky and nods her head. Death Heart looked down at Ance and fell to the ground. Bradley lands on the ground and looked at Ance.

"What are you doing?!" Bradley asked her.

"Something that should've been done…" Ance said to him, "He cherishes you a lot… Don't give up on him, okay?"

"Ance, this is madness! James cherishes you more than me!" Bradley told her. She shook her head and smiled sadly.

"You are his creation… You are his hopes and dreams come to life… Never desert him. Ever…" Ance told him. Bradley looked down at James and nods his head.

"I promise," Bradley said. Bone hops onto his shoulder and licked his face.

"Seal," Ance said as she sank to her knees. France returned to normal form and caught Ance as she fell over on her side.

"Ance… You… Why?" France asked her. Ance smiled weakly.

"You deserve more, France… Not this…" Ance told him, "You aren't supposed to be like this…"

"…"

"Let's go home… Together…" Ance said weakly. She closed her eyes and died right there in his arms. France shook his head and clenched his teeth.

"This is why I am not going to fight you anymore…" Zackery told his clone, "The pain of loss is too great…"

"…" the clone frowns.

"You aren't some meat puppet… You are your own person," Zackery told him.

"I am… My own person?" the clone asked.

"Yes… Your own mind… Your own soul…" Zackery told him. The clone nods his head and sighed.

"You are right…" the clone said. He turned away from Zackery and flew off. France picked Ance up in his arms and started to walk away.

"This battle is over… I have lost. What have I really lost… Is someone close to me…" France said as he continued to look at Ance. Seth looked down at the ground and punched it. Compa comforted him as Shana held James close to her.

"Close to all of us… I am sorry. I will take her to CHAOSSES… This is farewell for now…" He disappeared into ashes. Shana broke down into tears as she hugged James.

"So… I would not really count this as a victory," Black Heart said.

"So… How do we get out of here?" Purple Heart asked. Then, a portal appeared in front of the group. Histoire and the Oracles stood on the other side of it.

"It's time to come home," Histoire said.

-End of Ultimension Story 1-

Saving…

Saving…

Game Saved. Unlocked Epilogue… Play Epilogue.

It has been 2 months since Akina and Ance's deaths… And I have been nothing but depressed the entire time. Shana and Seth tried to cheer me up… But, nothing worked. The others even tried to… But, it fell on deaf ears. It is hard to tell them… I just wanted to be with them… Up in heaven. I couldn't function… I couldn't think… I couldn't eat or sleep… It was… Hell for me. Then, something changed me. For the better… Something miraculous happened. I was alone in my room with all light devoid of it. Then, I got a knock on the door. I raised my head and looked as it opened and light shone into the messy room. It was Nepgear… She was holding something in her hand. It looked like a book… The same book I came here with.

"Where did you…" I asked her.

"I was looking at it for a while… You really do know a lot about us… But, there is no data on you at all," Nepgear told me.

"I know I…" I said.

"I looked through the entire book… No data," Nepgear told me as she sat next to me, "It could be nothing…"

"…" I didn't reply.

"That's not why I came here to tell you… We are having a picnic. I want you to come, especially," Nepgear continued as she placed a hand on my hands, "Bradley wants the same thing, too…" I looked down at the CPU Candidate and sighed.

"All right… I guess," I said, "Give me a few minutes to get ready, okay?" Nepgear giggled and hugged me.

"Thanks… Onii-chan," Nepgear giggled. I stopped and looked down at her.

"Why call me Big Brother?" I asked.

"Dunno… Just wanted to say that at least once to a friend I consider a brother," Nepgear told me. I smiled kindly and pat her head.

"Did you call Zack that?" I asked.

"Mmhmm… But, it sounds better with you for some reason…" Nepgear told me. I smiled and nodded my head.

"Thanks, Gear… You always know what to say," I told her, "Bradley is extremely lucky to have you… Treasure him." Nepgear smiled and nods her head. She stood up and left out. I went to the showers and got a clean change of clothes. When I got there, Shana was bathing under a showerhead. She stopped when she saw me enter with a small blush on my cheeks.

"Oh… I didn't notice you come in. Finally coming out?" Shana smiled sweetly.

"Yeah… Nepgear said we were having a picnic later today?" I told Shana.

"You didn't realize it yet? Today is… Your birthday," Shana smiled. I stopped and looked at her.

"I remembered… When we came home. We planned it for a while…"

"I didn't think my birthday was today…" I said.

"17 is a good age, you know…" Shana smiled as she looked at me, "I want to give you your present now…" She leaned in to kiss me on the lips. I kissed her back and smiled.

"Happy birthday, Jamie… I love you."

"I love you, too… Shana Sheavenby," I smiled as I held my hands on her hips.

-Later; SEGA Park- Shana and I walked to the park together, hand in hand as I wore a gray button down flannel shirt and red shorts with a silver chain hanging down, my favorite rainbow sneakers with a star on each side, and a pair of black goggles around my neck. Shana wore her usual white long sleeved dress and a small white rose in her hair. The group was all there, waiting for us.

"Happy Birthday!" they told me.

"Aww, you guys… You shouldn't have," I smiled.

"You're right… They didn't do this alone," a voice called to me. I froze and slowly looked behind me as Ance stood there with Mom beside her.

"…How?" I said.

"I may have stretched the truth back there…" Ance chuckled, "Didn't think you would be that depressed…" I tackled Ance to the ground and held her there. She looked at me in surprise as I hugged her.

"I don't care… I get to see you again…" I sniveled. Ance's surprised look softened and she hugged me back.

"What am I, chopped liver?" Mom smirked. Seth hugged Mom tightly.

"How?!" Stephen asked.

"A little favor from an old friend…" Histoire smiled.

"I won't ask…" I thought as I looked at Ance. She pats my afro and chuckled.

"You really should get this thing cut…" Ance told me.

"It's part of my look! Leave me alone!" I told her. Ance laughed and ruffled my hair. I sighed and smiled, knowing my world hasn't broken apart… Akina… Wherever you are… Just know I will keep on living for you… I will never forget you.

Epilogue END.
