"Darkness is not forever! I am... Masked Hero Light!"
Transformation Name Announcement by Hikari Hinomoto, a.k.a. Masked Hero Light
Masked Hero Light is the second of the Masked Hero Series fanfiction by Neves783. It is also, chronologically, the second in the series, coming after the soon-to-be-conceptualized Masked Hero Atum.
Set in an alternate universe of Tokimeki Memorial 2, robotic beings known as Snatchers (from their titular source game) silently appear from the future into the present and begin their stealthy Kill and Replace routines among the public. With more and more people falling victim to the attacks, Gillian Seed is sent to this timeline in order to find the ones that will help stop the invasion - and the one who shall lead this defense against the Snatchers is no other than Hikari Hinomoto, a high school girl from Hibikino High School.
Mask Change
- Action Girl: Just like the case with Masked Hero Celestia, all the main female characters here are capable of putting up a fight.
- Adaptational Badass: Then again, they were originally just dateable girls from their game of origin.

Masked Heroes
Hikari Hinomoto / Masked Hero Light
Kotoko Minaduki / Masked Hero Shiranui
