It was Worth It
"I couldn't make it in time . . . ." Aru Akise was barely hanging in there after being stabbed by Yuki with the memory sword. Due to this, all that has happened since the start of this tournament would now be forgotten. Try as he might, he was now too weak to move as he laid there defeated on the ground.
"Really . . . . But didn't I say so? It's all worthless" as Muru-Muru had just arrived to his position.
"My career as a detective ends here . . . ." thought Aru as his eyes started to feel heavier as his consciousness began to fade. "I guess I wasn't able to finish the case . . . . " But that's when he felt someone take his hand. Looking up, he was surprised to see who it was.
"It wasn't worthless" smiled Tsubaki, the user of the sixth diary as she pulled him to his feet.
As Aru looked around, the other diary users he met along his journey were before him now as they were ready to assist him in his endeavors.
"You guys!" as the demon servant was outraged to what she was seeing.
Marco, user of the seventh diary cracked his knuckles as he was revving himself up for a brawl with Ai by his side to assist. "The sixth asked us all for help in this little scuffle. Muru-Muru, I'll take good care of you".
"Akise-niichan" said Reisuke, user of the fifth diary. "Go now! I'll take care of things here!"
"Everyone . . . ." as the boy detective was speechless at what he was seeing.
"Akise Aru, we've come to pay you back for your help". Tsubaki then looked back as she smiled to him. "Your actions to change the course of events wasn't worthless". So assisting the boy detective, she offered her shoulder to him as he limped his way to the top hatch leading into the memory server of mecha Muru-Muru who was at this time busy with repairing the law of cause and effect.
"It looks like I've made it in time" as Aru had popped open the hatch leading inside. "I can find the answers of Muru-Muru's mysteries in here".
"No! Stay out of there!" exclaimed the demon servant as she was now racing towards them trying to stop them from seeing the truth.
At seeing the shortening window of time he had, he knew ultimately there was no point to what he was doing. Everything that he had managed to accomplish would soon be undone. But regardless, he couldn't stop now, not when he was so close to the truth. But if this were going to be the case, he pulled Tsubaki close to him as he moved her bangs back kissing her on the forehead. "Thanks Tsubaki" to which the priestess gave a faint blush too. With this he jumped in. Upon jumping in that's when he learned it all, the truth behind Muru-Muru, the girl Yuno, and why everything was supposed to follow a certain plan.
Just like that, his reality came to an end.

Aru immediately shot up from his bed as he held his face. "Wow that was an intense dream". But soon shaking his head to this, "but a dream nonetheless" as he got out of bed to proceed on with his day. Seeing it was still early in the morning, his parents still haven't gotten up yet. Seeing that he wasn't hungry, he decided to skip it. So getting dressed in his usual attire he ventured out into the dawn.
But after a bit of walking he arrived to his usual spot that overlooked the city below. As he looked down upon it, the morning sun shined beautifully over the city as a solemn expression appeared on his face.
"It's strange; I've been getting this weird feeling of déjà vu all day . . . ." On his way to the hillside he was constantly bombarded with feelings that he's met certain people before or been to certain places without actually being there. But at that thought a small smile formed. On the way to the hill, a particular girl kept coming to his mind. He didn't know who she was. But from what he could tell she was some kind of priestess. Although he didn't have a name to pin to her face, he knew something about her left an impression on him.
But then feeling a buzzing in his pocket, he took out his cell phone as he looked to it. But that's when his eyebrow arched at this. "Knight's diary? What is this?" Scrolling through it, he had no idea what it was. "What is this application? Is this supposed to be some sort of game? Hmm . . . . I wasn't even aware I kept a diary". But then looking to the first entry in the diary his eyes widened with intrigue "Yukiteru Amano . . . ." as he read out the name. With it he saw an exact location and a time table. "This might be interesting". So putting away his cell phone, he looked out towards the horizon. "So many questions and yet not enough answers to go with them" to which a smile began to form. So now proceeding down the hill, he placed his hands in his pocket as he whistled to himself. "Detective Aru is now on the case!"
To be continued . . . .
Author's Notes: Well this chapter will be the pilot to gauge if I should continue on with this story or not. Essentially this story will take place right after Mirai Nikki: Paradox as Aru has just learned the entire truth of everything but now can't remember it. So as this story begins he is now an official participant of the game to become god with him being the owner to the knight's diary. Now who sent it and why will remain a mystery for now.
Additionally this story will be focused on Aru and Tsubaki much later on. Of course I'll try to keep everyone within character as Aru will still flirt with Yuki regardless. So I hope this story will be good.
So thank you for reading and I further extend my gratitude if you can review it as well.
