Chapter 1: The New Start (Beginning) of Justiφ
In a very big hall underground with so many stone pillars stood perfectly, there are three figures on the field. The first one looked like a locust-shaped monster. He has a humanoid's appearance with grey skin in it's body. He also has a big locust eyes with two antennas in his forehead. On a side note, the locust monster also wore a plain white scarf in his neck. The second one looked like an armored guy. The armored guy wore a red jumpsuit behind a silver armor on his body. He was wearing a belt with silver strap that contained a camera and a flashlight. There were also many black linings in his body, except the golden linings in his chest. He also has a backpack like device attached to his back. Lastly, the armored guy has big yellow eyes with two fins antennas in the middle of his face. He also has a shark-like mouthpiece. In overall, the head was a reminiscent of a combination between a firefly and also a shark. He also gripped a big light-saber in his hand which was fashioned into a big backpack device. The locust-like monster slowly approached the armored guy. The armored guy prepared his light-saber. There was a big tension in the field now and no one could spit a word at all. However, not only those two figures, there was also another figure near them. The figure was also a monster, but he has a horse-like appearance. The horse monster has a horse-like face fashioned in a gladiator style with a white fur in his head. His body was all grey with horse heads in his shoulders and also a horseshoe in his chest. Overall, his appearance was a combination between a horse and a gladiator. However, his body was burned badly by blue flames. He was clutching his burned boy and tried to stand up. However, it was really hard for him to stand up or even move. All of his body was aching greatly and he felt that his time was already near. But, seeing that the locust-monster approached the red armored guy, the horse-monster then raised his spirit. He didn't care of his burned boy, he didn't care for the pain, and he didn't care for what would happen to him. In fact, he was ready to for atoning his unforgivable sins. After all, he didn't have anything or anyone who would care or wait for him. With this thought, the horse-monster then ran toward the locust-monster before grabbing the monster tightly. Seeing this, the red armored guy then pressed the enter button in his light-saber before firing a crimson energy drill to the locust-monster. However, to his surprise, he also saw the horse-monster was holding the locust-monster in bay. At first, the red armored guy was really hesitant to do the next move. However, the horse-monster then nodded at the red armored guy, affirming that everything will be fine. In frustration, the red armored guy threw away his light-saber before charging at them with a loud scream. He then jumped into the air before his foot glowed with red smoky energy. He then delivered a powerful kick to both monsters, consuming the three in a very big red photon explosion, covering the screen with plain white void.
'Where am I? Is this an afterlife? Am I already dead? Everything is black. Even blacker than the any darkness that I already experienced. Is this hell? Is this heaven? Is this nirvana? I don't know anything.' Thought a man
The man then opened his eyes. To his surprise, what he saw isn't a pitch black void like before. Instead, he saw a plain white void. He doesn't know why but seeing a plain white void like this is much better than seeing a pitch black void. He feels so much calmer and relaxed in this void. He even felt his body was very light now. Everything was white, nothing more and nothing else. The man even feels that he is floating in the air now. He felt so relaxed to the point that he enjoyed the bird's chirping and also the blue color of the sky.
'WAIT! If this is an afterlife, could I still hear a bird's chirping and the bright color of the sky!? Wait a minute, I also heard a plane's sound! Now, I don't think this is an afterlife anymore.' Thought the man panicked
He doesn't know where he is at this point. He is really confused where his position now. But, for a sec, the man thought back his opinion about he was floating in the air. It's not only that he felt that he was floating, he also felt that he was falling from the air! Though he was quite scared, he looked at his below to ensure everything. Just like what he saw, he only saw a plain white void. But, wait a sec! He saw that the plain white void disappeared one-by-one. After the void has completely disappeared, he finally can get a good look at what things in below now. And to his surprise, he saw a land! He saw so many buildings, towers, flying birds, and even he could see forest too. But, wait! If what he saw below him is ground then the plain white void that he saw first was….
'A cloud…..? Well….. A ground below me….. And I was in those white clouds…. So….. There's only one answer to this….' Thought the man while looking at the clouds and sky in horror
"I'M FAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG FROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM THE SSSSKKKKYYYYYYYYYYY!" screamed the man while falling from the sky
(Play: Justiφ)
The screen was soon covered by a mosaic picture of Kamen Rider Faiz. The screen then changes into a colorful purple void with stars in it. Suddenly, a red laser is gazing on the screen, showing 8 pictures in front of the void. The first picture on the top left showed Kamen Rider Faiz while the picture below him showed Purple Heart. The others pictures contained shadowy figures.
(Hirogaru uchuu no naka Can you feel?)
Yuuji catches the falling Faiz Phone using his right hand. He then walked endlessly in a plain white void with red lasers are gazing his body. On a close up, Yuuji could be seen shed a tear and mysteriously, his shadow showed a humanoid horse shadow. The background soon crumbled into dust.
(Chiisa na hoshi no hanashi wo shiyou)
The screen then showed Purple Heart is rocking herself while sinking her face to her knees, crying really hard. The big downpour hit her body, but she didn't care at all. On the reflection below her, it could be seen Neptune was laughing maniacally while holding a bloodied katana. On both side, it could be seen that Planeptune was reduced into a ruin.
(Over again messeeji wo okuru)
Histoire saw Yuuji from afar. She tried to reach him, but Yuuji was crumbled into dust. Seeing this, she screamed really hard with a shadow of a woman below her. Meanwhile, Nepgear was in the middle of sea of bloods. She was holding a bloodied sword which was soon pointed to her own neck. With tears, she thrust the sword and you could only see her D-Pad clip fell to the pool of bloods.
(Byouyomi wa hajimatta...)
Noire tried to reach a bright star in the starry night, but the star vanished, so with the light in Noire's eyes. Blanc was struggling in the middle of snowstorm. She showed an evil smirk before she was consumed by the snow. Vert was tied by so many vines near her. She tried to reach the screen and you could see her face showing a silhouette of a monster.
(Kanashimi wo kurikaeshi)
Kamen Rider Faiz walked passed through Neptune. Realizing this, Neptune then turned her head to see the hero. The red lasers are gazing through their bodies again, changing them back into Yuuji and Purple Heart.
(Boku-ra wa doko e yuku no darou?)
Purple Heart tried to reach Yuuji, but he just walked away without seeing her. This event made Purple Heart shed several tears. The background then showed several pictures. Those pictures were a little boy was playing with a little girl with purple hair, a laboratory filled with many scientists corpses, many people attending a funeral and also a broken Faiz Phone. The video showed several events in this chapter, ranging from Neptune happily tackled Yuuji, Goat Orphnoch was hiding behind the tree, the Panther Orphnoch was choking Noire's neck, and Purple Heart readied her katana with sad face.

(Song ended)
"Oi, Nep Jr., don't be a slowpoke! Come here quickly! If we don't hurry, Histy will give us a good mountain of lectures!" shouted a young girl energetically. By appearance, the young girl is around her teenage years and she has short lilac hair with bangs that reach down to her collar bone. The girl also has purple eyes as purple as eggplant. She wears white hair-clips in the shape of D-pads in her lilac hair and she wears a choker around her neck with a light blue D-pad symbol on it and short sleeved mini hoodie with blue and purple lining around the sleeves and the hood. The hoodie is closed by a button emblem with a large N in the middle and has two strings that look like controller plugs. Underneath she wears a dark purple dress lined with light purple which zips up from the front and has pockets on both sides along with white lining along the bottom. Her socks are light blue and white striped thigh high socks with frills at the tops and her shoes are purple and blue with an N on them. The girl is holding a single plastic bag containing several cups of pudding and also a few popular games.
"Okay, Onee-chan….. I will come there quickly….." said another lilac-haired young girl unenergetically to the previous young girl who is her older sister. The girl has long light purple hair with a single D-pad hair clip and violet eyes and wears a white, button up sailor uniform with purple designs and a yellow ribbon being held together by the N-emblem. She wears thigh high socks with pink and white stripes and medium sized boots that match her uniform in color scheme. On a side note, the girl, who was called Nep Jr., is considerably taller than her older sister. She is now holding loads of plastic bag in her hands and back. She is carrying a full bag of puddings in her back. She is carrying bags of games in her shoulders and she is also carrying groceries, foods, and snacks in her hands now. Because of this, the girl was having a hard time to move around nor can she run energetically like her older sister.
"Oh, come on, Nep Jr., don't be so childish! We don't have much time! Histy might realize that we sneaked around!" said the older sister
"But… Onee-chan….. I couldn't move freely with these bags…" replied the little sister
"Ou….. My little sister-o-mine… I really want to help you but my body is still stiff because of the previous fights in Plutie's dimension. "
"But, you seem fine enough Onee-chan… After all, that event was already two years ago….."
"Well, you could be right? But, still… Oh… That event really exhausted my body to the core! I even couldn't access my HDD too long!"
"Well, if you say so, Onee-chan….. But, please help me a bit, I'm already quite exhausted carrying these bags for 3 hours….."
"Well, can't be helped then! Don't worry, my little sister-o-mine! Your big sister will lift your burden in the name of Planeptune! Choooooooooo!" said the older sister before taking one of the plastic bag from her sister's hand. Only that one plastic bag. Only that one!
"There you go!" said the older sister while showing two bags in her hand
"Onee-chan, are you really serious!? Come on, I don't want to complain, but at least don't joke like this. I have been bringing all of our goods while Onee-can only brought only that one little bag. And now, you only took another little plastic bag from me. It really didn't lift my burden of carrying these bags." Complained the little sister
"Ou… Come on, Nep Jr.! Don't be so chitty-chat and nagging like Histy. After all, I already said my body is still stiff. I'm afraid my fragile bones will suffer from breakdown if I carry too much things. You also said to help you a bit, right?" rebuked the older sister with smart logic and mouth. The little sister could only sigh in defeat. She even thinks that this is one of many times where her older sister uses her brain! After all, it's been a long time since the little sister got a heavy task like this. At least, it doesn't involve a life-threatening battle or quest.
"Well… You could be right, Onee-chan…. But, I also think that is it good for us to slacking off for these years? I mean we passed those times many decades ago. I think we should hear Histy's advice once in awhile. She never means anything bad for us, she just wants us to work more rather than playing games or sleeping."
"Ou, stop those old woman hag, Jr.. Come on, why should we worry about it? There are so many staffs and cleaning services in our Basillicom. With that in mind, why should we clean or prepare our foods by ourselves? Histy really needs to stop her nagging or else she might get a wrinkle and stomachache!"
"Yes, but Histy wants us to be an independent CPU like other nation. I think it would be really bad if we don't get a work at all. Our Shares has dropped severely in the past few months. Laststation, Lowee, and Leanbox's Shares, instead, has skyrocketed in these few months. Even Blanc-san who always read her novel did some works in her spare time. Vert-san also didn't play games as much as before and she focused on her nation much more. And Noire-san was also working much harder than before. Onee-chan, maybe we should get to work or something?"
"What!? What are you saying, Jr.? I actually didn't hear your long boring speech because of I was looking at this super duper awesome advertisement of the new game 'Kamen Nep Battride War Genesis!'. It comes this February!" said the older sister while looking at the promotional video of a game. The little sister could only face palm herself seeing this. It's true that she loves her older sister very much, it just that sometimes her sister's super slacking attitude can be quite annoying. She now knows why Histy always gets a high tension everyday. She's afraid if Histy might get a stroke in a year or two.
"Onee-chan…. Please, listen to me. I don't want to be so nagging, but please understand Histy's feelings. She is really afraid if Planeptune will fall if we don't do so many works. Onee-chan, after this, we should do some works."
"Okay, okay, okay, my little sister-o-mine. Just stop your oration, please. Well, let's go back home now, Jr.! We should get back before Histy could scold us for real. Anyway, I can't wait to play my newest 'Moto Goddess Prix (Moto GP)' game. Let's race to home, Jr.!" said the older sister before running away from her little sister
"Wait, Onee-chan! Geez…." Sighed the little sister in defeat. Well, it seems that her older sister will always be the same, regardless whatever happens to the world. After all, they never feel such peaceful centuries in the past few millenniums. Maybe, they really need a little break after all. Or so, as Histy might scold them again for slacking off. With a sigh, she then walked slowly to home. Before she could take another step, she saw something fell from the sky in skyrocket's pace! Heck, it might be even faster than that! She then saw to where the falling thing will land. And to her surprise, that thing will land perfectly above her older sister in a matter of second! Seeing this, she then shouted to her older sister to get away from the place as fast as she can.
"Onee-chan, watch out! Get away from there!" shouted the little sister. But it was too late. Before the older sister could see what was above her, the falling thing soon hit her right in the head. The impact from the crash made so much dust and a crater in the ground. Worried to her sister, the little sister then rushed to the center of the crater. Everyone then gathered around the crater to see what happened in the hustle bustle of a peaceful Planeptune. The older sister, herself, was knocked out in comical expression with a big bump in her head. At first, the little sister wanted to help her, but she then realized what was falling from the sky. It was a man! Without thinking twice, the little sister then rushed to the man's side before trying to wake him up.
"Hey, sir, can you hear me? Are you alright? Please wake up." Said the little sister; while shaking the man's body. Seems like the force of the crush and impact with her sister's head; had rendered him unconscious. Fortunately, he didn't receive any injuries in his body because of the older sister's head and body held the full impact of the fall. She shakes the man's body continuously but there weren't any responds. However, she managed to catch the man's appearance. The man is around 18-20 years old and he is wearing a clean white shirt with black pants. He has normal brown hair and a little mole just below his left eye. Because of he was unconscious; she couldn't see the man's eye color.
"Sir, please wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" shouted the little sister continuously but there were still no responds
"Oi, Nepgear! What are you doing!? Can't you see that your-cutest-dearest-sister-in-the-world got a goosebumps in the head!? Why you care a total stranger than your own cute-older-sister!?" said the older sister annoyed after being unconscious for a sec. She is rubbing her big bump in the head with jealousy but cute face.
"Goodness! Sorry, Neptune-oneechan! Are you alright, onee-chan?" asked the little sister, named Nepgear, to her older sister, named Neptune
"Huh! It's too late, Jr.! Just go away and care that stranger guy!" said Neptune while crossing her arms and pouting her mouth
"Uuummmmm…. Sorry, Onee-chan….. I mean you always say those things about you're the main heroine and protagonist. Because of that, there's no way such a heroine like onee-chan would get hurt because of such a silly things. Getting hit in the head by a falling man is one of the examples." Said Nepgear
"Mooouuuuu… What you said is true, but still… I still want to get more attention from my-cutest-responsible-diligent-little-sister."
"Once again, I'm sorry, onee-chan…" apologized Nepgear to the bottom of her heart
"Well, worry not! I'm your sister won't hate you because of such an ant-sized problem like this! Anyway, what should we do with that falling star guy?"
"Well… He hasn't woken up yet. So, I think we should bring this man to the Basillicom. After all, we couldn't just let a person lie in this crater. As long as they are in Planeptune, everyone here is in our care."
"That's my usual little sister! Well, he could be used as an excused for Histy." Said Neptune while giggling a bit, finally finding a way to run from Histy's lectures
"And onee-chan is going still be onee-chan." Said Nepgear slyly before carrying the man with Neptune
Meanwhile, in the Virtua Forest….
"Heaven Demon!" shouted a young girl before slashing using her qatars a brown ancient dragon in front her, destroying the dragon into pixels. Several people around the young girl were also slashing several slimes with dog face. Some people were also shooting several plant-like monsters using arrow and handgun. Not long after that, all of the monsters within the vicinity were all destroyed. It didn't take so much time to clear the area from the dungeon's monster.
"Fyuu… That wasn't really hard after all." Said one of the people to his comrades
"Well, those monsters are just a piece-of-cake! I actually want a more challenging quest, right IF-san?" said one of the people to the young girl who defeated the ancient dragon
"I must agree! These monsters were nothing but an ant! I want a level 99 enemies, it would be so challenging. But, as long as the quest could give us a benefit, I will still do it regardless if the quest is boring or challenging." Said the young girl named IF. IF has green eyes and pale brown hair that reaches down near her waist. She also wears a "Leafy Bow", which consists of two green leaves on the left side of her head. IF wears a loose, large, blue coat with silver buttons and trimming that is worn open. Beneath the open coat, she wears a tank top and a pair of shorts that are black with silver trimming.
"Anyway, seems like there isn't anything else in this area. We should get back to the guild. It's already afternoon to evening." Said IF to her party members of the quest while also seeing her precious pink cellphone. She then checked any activities that she will do in the evening or at least any messages that she got while doing some quests. She then saw that Compa sent her a message to come at Planeptune's Basillicom.
'Iffy, I need you to go to the Basillicom. Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge found a man who fell from the sky. I'm tending him right now. –Compa'
"Fell from the sky? Well, seems like Nep 2.0 here. I hope that man won't be as troublemaker as Nep." Hoped IF to herself. She tried to take a step before she sensed something behind the shadows.
"I know you're there! Come out now!" said IF to the shadowy figures, gaining the other members' attention. Not long after that, they heard continuous clapping before they saw a figure came out from the shadow. The sunlight gave them a perfect sight of the figure's appearances. The figure is definitely a monster but he has a humanoid appearance. The monster has an overall white color body. He has several thorns in her shoulders, hands and legs. His head is quite unusual as they were a big capsule in the head, containing a brain or a rose-shaped brain. The monster has very sharp mouthpiece with slanted and sharp eyes. From the overall appearance, he could give a vague shape of rose-monster. However, even for IF who has a tons of knowledge, she didn't know that there was any rose-shaped monster from any sources that she has. Not only that, it was almost impossible for the Virtua Forest, the one of the beginner's dungeon, to have a mysterious dungeon monster that wasn't recorded in any books.
"My, my, my, what a sharp sense? But, that was what I expected from IF, the strongest member of the Guild?" said the monster amused while clapping his hands. Not only that this monster has quite an intelligence, but he also knew about her and the Guild.
"Who are you!? I have never seen a dungeon monster like you nor do I expect a Virtua Forest's monster to have a pack of intelligence!" said IF while preparing her qatars. The other members were also preparing their weapons. However, the monster only laughed seeing IF and the others' reactions.
"Me? A dungeon monster? Hahahaha, IF, you really know how to tickle my nerves. I'm going to spit it out now. I'm not a dungeon monster. I'm an Orphnoch, to be exact, Rose Orphnoch." Said Rose Orphnock while bowing
"Orphnoch?" murmured IF
"Well, it doesn't matter who I am actually. I actually here to talk with you, IF. I have a very wonderful offer here. I'm here to take you and the Guild, IF." Said Rose Orphnoch while offering his hand
"Taking me? Heh! Do you think I would listen to a monster like you? That's when hell freezes over! After all, do you think that you have a gut to make me obey you? I don't think so." Replied IF sarcastically
"IF, I came here with a very good offer. You're strong! You're smart! You're talented! It's a waste of potential for you only to be a Guild member, especially being Planeptune's Guild member. You will only become a trash if you remain in Planeptune. I offer you to join me to overthrow Neptune, the CPU of Planeptune, and take over the other nations. Together, we will rule all over the world, with you as my right-hand woman." Said Rose Orphnoch, making the other Guild members shivered. Though they know that IF is someone who won't betray her friends, they know that supreme authority of the world could blind any people. However, to the Orphnoch's surpise, IF threw her qatars to the monster. Fortunately, the Orphnoch parried the qatars with only one hand.
"Sorry, but I don't really want to rule the whole Gamindustri. After all, I'm already comforted by my position in the Guild. So, I don't really need anything more. Especially, if one day I would fight Nep, Gear or even Compa. I won't be able to raise my sword to them. I also don't want to become a right-hand woman of anyone. But, thanks to you, we already knew about your rotten plans. So, be thankful for us to assassinate you in this place." Said IF before preparing another qatars in her hand. The other Guild members were also preparing their weapons.
"Well, too bad. For declining my wonderful offer and upset me, then death is the price!" said Rose Orphnoch before emitting a killing aura
Not wasting time, IF ordered all of the close-range attackers to charge to the Orphnoch. One of them try to slash the rose-monster, but the Orphnoch easily grabbed the sword before kicking the Guild member's gut before downing him with a back chop. He soon kicked aside the grounded Guild member. When another Guild member charged to him, he parried the sword's slash before slapping him aside. Another Guild member tried to do a sneak attack before grabbing the Orphnoch's neck and pointing her sword to it. However, the Rose Orphnoch then punched the Guild member's stomach with his elbow before grabbing the Guild member's neck. He then punched the female Guild member's stomach continuously before snapping her neck. Throwing her corpse aside, he saw another one tried to thrust his lance to the Orphnoch. However, the monster grabbed the lance before kicking the Guild member's chest while also disarming him. He then judo threw him to the ground before doing a pile-drive to the Guild member, sinking his head on the ground. Another female Guild member tried to punch the Orphnoch but he dodged it gracefully. He then used an opening to rip off the Guild member's heart from her chest. When another male Guild member tried to slash the Orphnoch, the monster parried all of the attacks with his bare hands. He then kicked the Guild member's gut before giving a painful beat to him and also kicking the Guild member's shin. The Rose Orphnoch then turned his opponent's head 360 degrees before throwing it to the sky. He soon cut the flying corpse into pieces before landing on the ground. Seeing how terrible her party members being brutally killed like this, making her almost vomits. She now knows that this monster isn't something that they could blindly charge. In fact, this monster is even stronger than a thousand level 99 dungeon monsters. Seeing that they have no chance of winning, IF the ordered all of the long-range and the remaining close-range attacker to surround the Rose Orphnoch.
"Haha, what an underhand tactic? I thought you were smarter than that IF." Provoked the Orphnoch. All of the Guild member then attacked the Orphnoch. The gun-wielder attacker shot several bullets and arrows from their weapons while the close-range attacker one charged toward the Orphnoch. However, the Orphnoch simply spun himself in the place, creating a typhoon of rose that held all of the bullets, arrows and anyone who blindly charged at him. He then opened his arms, blowing away anyone around him with the typhoon of rose. Every members of IF's party member were all thrown away by the typhoon of rose. When the rose petals touched their body, all of them could only watch in horror that their bodies were crumbled into dust. Within a minute, everyone in the area have been reduced into dust, except the Rose Orphnoch himself and IF. IF was shocked to see what this monster could offer. Not only that he could defeat them in instant, he reduced all of her members into dust.
"Well, looks like it's only the two of us, IF. Anyway, I will offer it once again to you. Join me to rule the whole Gamindustri." Offered Rose Orphnoch once again. However, IF, instead, charged to him blindly.
"Sorry, once again. But I won't ever join you if it's the last I would do. Even if I couldn't beat you, at least, I could injured you bad enough for Nep to finish you!" said IF before trying to slash the Orphnoch. However, the monster easily grabbed IF's qatars before slapping her face away. IF tried to slash him again, but the monster parried all of her attacks simply by slapping them away. She tried to stab the monster, but Rose Orphnoch grabbed her hand before kicking IF's stomach continuously. He then grabbed the girl's neck before throwing her to the ground very hard. Rose Orphnoch then stomped IF's body continuously. However, he soon stomped the girl's face too.
"It's a shame that you didn't' understand me." Regretted the Orphnoch before bringing the girl into eye-level. He then punched IF's stomach brutally, making her coughed bloods very much. He then slashed IF with the thorn's protrusions in his hands, before kicking IF's chest. Rose Orphnoch then threw IF into a tree using a gust of rose wind. IF was soon knocked into a tree. She then tried to regain her composure, but it was really hard. She already has so many bruises in her face and boy. Her clothes were also ripped by the gust of rose wind before. The rose petals were sharp enough to slash her clothes and cheeks. Her breaths were already raspy. But, she knew that she needed endure the pain. She can't let such a dangerous monster to get near with Compa and the others. Even she doubts that Neptune and Nepgear could handle the monster by themselves. At least, she needs to injure the monster a bit. With this spirit, IF stood up once again.
"I won't let you roaming out with your evil plans! I will stop you! BURNING DEMON PILLAR!" shouted IF before summoning several pillars of flame to surround Rose Orphnoch
"IF, IF, I really like your unwavering resolve. It's too bad that we couldn't work together." Said Rose Orphnoch while shaking his head. IF then made all of the flame pillars to crush the Orphnoch into crisp. However, the Orphnoch wasn't unfazed and just let the flame pillars to approach him. The flame pillars then consumed the Orphnoch in a one big burning pillar. But, IF wasn't done yet.
"Fusion Technique: Burning Demon Pillar and La Delphinus! HEAVENLY EXPLODING IMPACT!" shouted IF before summoning an even bigger pillar of green energy from the ground. The energy pillar then consumed the burning pillar before creating a big explosion. The explosion was big enough for IF to cover her eyes. After several seconds, IF then opened her eyes and found nothing but a crater in the forest. Though she ended up destroying the Virtua Forest, at least, she could kill that dangerous monster.
"Ha….. Ha… Ha….. I did it…. Ha…." said IF with raspy breath
"Did you? I don't think so." Said a voice in IF's right. IF was shocked to see the Rose Orphnoch was still alive and uninjured. However, before IF could say anything, she was punched in the stomach really hard, throwing her into the air. Rose Orphnoch suddenly teleported to the air to give an axe kick to IF, kicking her to the ground. Before she could reach the ground, Rose Orphnoch teleported to the ground and performed a round-house kick to IF's face. Rose Orphnoch then summoned several rose vines to whip IF's body brutally. IF could only let herself being brutally beaten by the monster. She felt all of her body was aching greatly and she felt so much pain running through her body. It was so painful that she couldn't even feel anything again. The vines kept whipping IF brutally before snarling her. Rose Orphnoch then commanded the vines to smack IF to the ground continuously before throwing her away. He then used his gust of rose wind to IF, making her body bled even more bloods than before. Not only that, IF already lost strand of her Leafy Bow and her precious oversized blue-coat were already ripped badly, leaving her with only her tank top. IF tried to stand up but it was now really hard for her. The Rose Orphnoch then summoned a sword which resembled an inverted rose flower. He tried to slash IF but with the last bit of her strength, she blocked the sword with her qatars.
"I admit you are stronger than I thought. No one could still stand after those brutal beatings."
"Heh! Well, thanks. But, no thanks! Heaven Demon!" shouted IF before slashing Rose Orphnoch wildly using her qatars. But, the Orphnoch blocked all of her attacks before using his sword to parry her next attack. Using this opening, Rose Orphnoch then slashed IF's chest, creating a huge gash on her body. The Orphnoch then stabbed IF's stomach, making the girl coughed a sea of bloods. She felt the most painful things she ever had. Even injured by any previous bosses or enemies weren't as painful as this monster's attack. IF then looked at the ground with lifeless face and her hands were swinging lifelessly with her qatars fell from her hands. Rose Orphnoch was quite disappointed to see IF was already taken out just by two slashes.
"My, my, my. IF, you're kidding, right? I didn't expect for the strongest Guild member to be this weak." Said Rose Orphnoch before he sensed something. He soon jumped away from IF while releasing his sword from the girl's stomach. He soon blocked several energy blasts from IF's gun. It was revealed that IF pointed her gun to Rose Orphnoch's gut while she was being stabbed. The Orphnoch was really surprised by IF's surprised attack. He now knows that IF wasn't a normal Guild member that he knew. However, for IF, she already lost so much blood now. Even now, she is clutching her bloodied stomach.
"Tch! Miss….." cursed IF
"Well, well, well. I must say you really surprised me, IF. I was really hoping for you to become my right-hand-woman or the next Smart Lady. But, you have crushed my big hope." Said Rose Orphnoch
"Don't say such bullshit like that, you sickening-rose-brain!" said IF before taking out her hidden claws. She soon charged to Rose Orphnoch again; this time with more determination than before.
"My hidden claws may aren't my best choice of weapon, but it's still my best weapon in a pinch like this. I will show you my hidden power. Hidden Technique: Raging Demon!" shouted IF before slashing Rose Orphnoch wildly using her claws. Rose Orphnoch just blocked all of the attacks with his sword. Even with that, IF kept slashing the Orphnoch non-stop. She then poured all of her strength into the next slash. After several seconds, IF was now in Rose Orphnoch's behind, already delivered her hidden technique. There were only silence, no sounds could be heard. However, Rose Orphnoch then broke the silence with a giggle.
"Futile…." Said Rose Orphnoch before showing his bloodied sword. On the other side, IF got slashed in the back twice in 'X' pattern, making her body became a sea of bloods.
'Hehe….. I'm sorry, Compa….. Gear… Nep….' Thought IF while coughing bloods before falling to the ground. Not long after that, the Rose Orphnoch then approached IF before grabbing her neck. He then saw IF's lifeless eyes and face. However, he could still sense her pulse, indicating that at least she is alive.
"IF… I love your spirit, I love your resolve, and I love your wilderness… Because of that, I won't let you die with the usual method…. For you, I will give you a painful and tragic death…" said Rose Orphnoch before flicking his wrist. Meanwhile, a goat-themed Orphnoch was watching all of those events behind the tree. He was carrying a metal case with the words 'Smart Brain' in it. Seeing that he has nothing else to do in this area, he soon left without a single word. Though, he did hear a girl's scream before he left.
'Ugh…. Where am I?' thought the man who fell from the sky. He soon opened his eyes, revealing his caramel eyes. To his surprise, he saw a girl right in front of his face. I mean very right in front of his face. Even their noses were touching to each other. He could see the girl's congo-pink eyes. The man and the girl were staring at each other eyes before…
"Uuuuuuuuwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaa!" screamed both man and the girl. The shock of the surprise made the man get up from the bed. Unfortunately, his head hit the girl's head, making a bump in their head.
"Iiitttttaaaaiiiiiiiiii…" groaned both of them in unison. However, because of this, the man managed to get a full appearance of the girl. The girl is around her late 18s and she has a matching light congo-pink hair similar to her eyes. The girl wears a sleeveless white wool sweater with matching arms warmers and boots, complete with fuzzy balls in it. She wears a red skirt, a black choker with small heart in it. She carries a black hip purse with heart shaped buttons. Both of them were rubbing the bumpy head together.
"Ah, I'm sorry, sir. I'm really really really sorry." Apologized the girl while bowing non-stop. Though, she was also still rubbing her head.
"Ah, don't worry. It's not your fault. I was really surprised so I accidentally hit your head. I'm sorry." Said the man while bowing
"No, it's not your fault, sir. I was reckless to check your temperature. I didn't bring my thermometer so I decided to measure your temperature by feeling your forehead. Sorry if it made an inconvenience for you, sir." Apologized the girl again
"Don't worry, I'm not mad. Instead, I thank you for your kindness. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Anyway, I'm sorry if you are surprised. I didn't introduce myself first. I'm Compa, nice to meet you." introduced the girl, named Compa
"Nice to meet you too, Compa…." Said the man before clutching his head. He suddenly felt a painful sting in his head. The man felt that his head was being stabbed continuously. He soon saw a vision of something but everything that he saw were all just grey. He tried to see what's behind his vision but he couldn't get a good sight of it. His vision soon returned back to normal.
"Sir, are you alright?" asked Compa worried
"Don't worry, Compa-san. I'm alright." Said the man
"Thank goodness, you're alright."
"Anyway, sorry if I didn't introduce first. I'm Kiba Yuuji, nice to meet you, Compa-san." Introduced the man, named Yuuji
"Yes, nice to meet you, Yuuji-san. Anyway, are you alright? You had just fallen from the sky before, right?" said Compa, surprising Yuuji. He soon remembered that he fell from the sky. He also remembered that just before he really fell to the ground, he closed eyes. Yes, he didn't want to see anything, especially his own death. Well, actually, he felt that he hit something before he blacked out. That was what Yuuji could remember until he woke up in inconvenient situation.
"Ah, yes! Compa-san, what happened to me!? I fell from the sky, right!? What happened after that!?" asked Yuuji panicked
"Ah, calm, calm down, Yuuji-san. Don't worry about that. Fortunately, you were saved by Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge. You were brought to here before those two called me to tend you." said Compa
"Really, thanks, Compa-san."
"Don't thank to me. You should be thanked you to Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge."
"Nep-Nep? Ge-Ge? Who are they?" asked Yuuji before he heard a loud bang from the door
"Hello, Compa! How is that falling star guy?" asked Neptune energetically. She soon entered the room with Nepgear. They found out that Yuuji has woken up from his slumber.
"Don't worry, Nep-Nep. Yuuji-san has woken up." Replied Compa
"Well, thank goodness, you're alright."
"Of course, he is alright! He was saved because of my life-saver head! If not, he would be as flattened you as a flattened pudding!" said Neptune sarcastically, making Yuuji gulped his saliva. He was really lucky to be saved. He didn't want to be a crushed pudding like what Neptune said.
"Well, no thanks to me! It's already my job to save any poor-dicky person like you!"
"But, Onee-chan, he isn't a poor person."
"Even without that, it's still our job to help such person like him! Don't be shy to thank to the Super Nep! Chooooooooo!" said Neptune
"I'm sorry, sir, if my Onee-chan is a bit hyperactive and over-the-top." Apologized Nepgear
"Ah, don't worry. I should be thanked to you two. You are the one who saved me, right?"
"Ah, yes! But, actually, Onee-chan who saved you, sir….."
"Kiba. I'm Kiba Yuuji." Introduced Yuuji to the sibling
"Hai! Kiba-san, are you alright? I know that my sister is strong and she won't die easily just because her head was hit. But, you surely got hit really hard in the head. Who knows what would happen if you didn't actually fall to Onee-chan's head?" said Nepgear worried
"Don't worry, Gear-san. I'm perfectly fine after sleeping a little." Said Yuuji while trying to stretch his hands. However, he felt a painful ache in his head out of blues. Seeing this, the three was even more worried to Yuuji's well being.
"Yuuji-san, don't too overexert yourself like that. You need to rest a bit." Said Compa before resting Yuuji back to his bed
"Oi, falling star guy, are you alright? Was my head not comfy enough for a landing spot?" asked Neptune
"Onee-chan, it's not the best time to make a joke like that." Rebutted Nepgear
"Nep-Nep, don't call Yuuji-san like that! He has a name after all." Complained Compa
"Ah, don't worry, Compa-san. I'm should be the one who is grateful because Nep-chan saved me. Not only that; you three are kind enough to take me to your house and even tend me. Really, I don't know how should I repay you." thanked Yuuji politely
"Ahh! Don't say like that, Yuu-kun! Say it again and I will explode like tomato." Said Neptune while blushing really hard and also fidgeting after hearing it. Both Nepgear and Compa could only laugh a little after watching Neptune's behavior. However, Yuuji's cheeks became really red after hearing Neptune's previous statement. Seeing this, Compa soon checked Yuuji once again.
"Yuuji-san! You're cheeks are red! Are you alright? Do you get a fever now?" asked Compa worriedly
"Ah, it's nothing. It just…. I'm not used to be called so affectionately by my first name." said Yuuji while scratching his red cheeks
"Hoo… So, that's it. Anyway, I will give you an injection. Don't worry, it just a normal anesthetic. You okay with it?" asked Compa. However, after hearing about an injection from Compa, both Neptune and Nepgear's face instantly became blue. They really know what it means about getting injected by Compa. Hearing this, they instantly waved their hands and shaking their heads to attract Yuuji's attention. Surely, Yuuji saw the two's weird behavior. The sibling seemed like tried to tell Yuuji to refuse something. But refuse from what? Yuuji didn't understand at all.
"Okay, you could do it, Compa-san." Said Yuuji with a smile. This soon made both the Nep sibling face palmed themselves after hearing Yuuji let himself got injected.
"Oh, why thank you, Yuuji-san. You know, lately none of my patients want me to inject them." Said Compa before searching something in her bag. After spending several seconds searching it, Compa took out a syringe. But, it's not a normal syringe…. It's a GIGANTIC SYRINGE that it's twice Compa's length. Seeing the turn of events, Yuuji was so shocked and he even jolted aside from his bed. Even the Nep sibling was also scared and shocked to see Compa's giant syringe despite they see it for numerous times.
"Here, Yuuji-san! This syringe will give you a nice sleep." Said Compa with a smile
"Ah….. Compa-san, no offense. But, can't we just do it with a normal syringe? I'm afraid that it will only hurt me even more and it might give me a nice 'death'." Said Yuuji while cowering in fear in one of the wall's corners
"Mooouu… Bt, you said that you wanted to get injection right?" said Compa with teary eyes now
"Ah, don't cry, Compa-san! It's not like I dislike injection but it's a different case if you use a syringe that is twice as big as you." said Yuuji while calming the almost crying Compa
"Anyway, Compa-san, you said that you made a special soup for us. Maybe you could give it too to Kiba-san. He must be hungry by right now." Suggested Nepgear while trying to change the topic and mood
"Yeah, Compa. Who knows what would happen to Yuu-kun if you…..ugh….." Before Neptune could finish her sentence, her little sister closed Neptune's mouth. Nepgear hoped that her sister won't make any unnecessary comments.
"Uuumm…. You're right. Yuuji-san must be pretty hungry right now. Right, Yuuji-san?" said Compa while wiping her tears while also throwing away her giant syringe to the Nep sibling. Seeing a giant syringe was heading toward them, the Nep sibling instinctively dodged it. Though, the giant syringe ended up stuck in the door. Even Yuuji was really nervous by Compa's creepy behavior and he could only sweatdropped after seeing it. He just hopes that the soup from Compa isn't anything as ridiculous as the giant syringe. After searching for the aforementioned thing, Compa took out a box of meal.
"Here, Yuuji-san! A soup of eggplant is ready for you!" said Compa cheerfully while showing an eggplant soup. Seeing this, Neptune's face instantly turned blue. She even covered her mouth while trying not to vomit right now. Knowing the danger that awaits Yuuji, Neptune quickly took a respond.
"Wait, Yuu-kun! Don't eat that eggplant soup!" warned Neptune
"Onee-chan…. Don't talk like that in front of the person who made it…." whispered Nepgear slowly
"Moouu…. Nep-Nep, I made this soup special for the Planeptune's CPU. Anyway, I don't see anything wrong from my eggplant soup." Complained Compa sadly
Yuuji himself was inspecting the eggplant soup thoroughly. He doesn't want to end up as suck as being injected by a giant syringe. However, he didn't say anything wrong from the soup. It's just a plain old soup with several eggplants in it. Not only that, there are even carrots, broccolis and some cooked chicken meats in it. Rather than dangerous, it looked appetizing.
"Well, Nep-chan. I agree with Compa-san now. I don't see anything dangerous or suspicious in this soup. It's just….a plain old soup. It's not like a thing that would kill me like that giant syringe." Explained Yuuji
"Uuughhh…. Do you want to listen to a CPU like me or a nurse like Compa? In anyway, don't eat it, Yuu-kun! They said that your eyes will go purpl-y if you eat that bad ol' eggplants!" said Neptune while trying to hold her vomit
"Don't worry about that, Kiba-san. My sister only has an unusual big phobia of eggplants. If you want to eat it, please take leisure of it." said Nepgear, contradicting with Neptune's words. Surely, Nepgear got knocked in the waist and foot from Neptune.
"Haaa…. Okay, then." Said Yuuji before eating the eggplant soup casually. After taking a spoon of it, his eyes soon widened. Seeing this, the three girls now become more nervous than ever because they want to see Yuuji's reactions.
"Wow! Compa-san, your eggplant soup surely is a top notch! I like it!" said Yuuji before proceeding eating the eggplant soup even more. He even ate it with a smile written in his smile. Compa couldn't be happier than before. At last, there is a person who can appreciate her cooking. Nepgear could only smile nervously after seeing Yuuji's great likeness to Compa's soup and Compa…. She showed a bit of her creepiness….. Anyway, Neptune was opening the window before releasing everything that she has eaten until now.
"It's delicious, right? I know that someone at last will enjoy my special eggplant soup." Said Compa with star eyes
"Yeah, Compa-san. Your cooking is the best. Can I have more of this soup?" asked Yuuji politely
"Of course. In fact, I have made 4 eggplant soups. If Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge don't want to eat it, you could have it all." Said Compa before showing a group of eggplant soups
"Thank you, Compa-san. I couldn't ask for more after you have tended me and gave me such a delicious feast like this." Thanked Yuuji
"Anyway, Kiba-san. There's something I want to ask. May I do it?" asked Nepgear politely with her sister wiping green liquids in her mouth
"Um! Of course you can ask me, Gear-chan. After you treated me like this, how could I refuse your request?"
"Yeah… Okay, then. Kiba-san, who are you? It's not a simple thing for a normal human like you fell from the sky. There has to be a reason of it. Where did you come from? Do you have any family? Maybe we could contact them." Asked Nepgear
"That's…" However, before Yuuji could answer it, he felt a really painful jolt and ache in his head. He soon held his head in pain while trying to shake of the painful sensation from his head.
"Aaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhh! Aaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh! It hurts!" shouted Yuuji painfully while holding his aching head
"Kiba-san!"
"Yuuji-san!"
"Yuu-kun!"
Despite the three girls best efforts to calm Yuuji down, he still felt the immense pain in his head. In his vision, Yuuji saw an armored figure in jet black suit with silver-plated armor and red boy lines was fighting with a gray-colored humanoid horse monster. However, this vision only increased his pain even more. Neptune, Nepgear and Compa became even more worried than before.
"Kiba-san, do you remember anything?" asked Nepgear
"Nooooooooo! Sttoooppp it! Aaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh! I don't know! I don't know anything! Just go away from me! Aaaaaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Yuuji in pain
"What should we do now?" asked Compa confused
Suddenly, out of blues, Neptune grabbed the giant syringe before hitting it to Yuuji's head, knocking him out. Yuuji fell back to his bed again with comical spinning eyes effect while also letting out his tongue a bit. Nepgear and Compa then saw the culprit of the sudden attack. And…. They could only stare at her nervously.
"What!? Don't stare at me like that! It's not like that I could think any other means for it. After all, Yuu-kun is in pain. It will be much better if he is taken out ASAP, right?" declared Neptune innocently
"Well, Onee-chan isn't wrong at all." Said Nepgear while sweatdropped
"Still…. Nep-Nep, I think that you are a bit over board." Commented Compa
After resting Yuuji back to his slumber, the three girls soon left the room before continue chatting in the outside. Despite Yuuji was a complete bystander, or NPC in Neptune's case, they couldn't just leave out him easily. After all, it seems that Yuuji was quite amnesiac. The force of his impact with Neptune's head might be the cause of it. Not only that, Yuuji was quite nice, kind and polite to them. It will be quite mean for them to kick him out of the Planeptune's Basilicom. Though, only Nepgear and Compa who thought about him seriously; Neptune was enjoying eating her favorite pudding.
"Compa-san…. I'm a bit worried about Kiba-san." Said Nepgear
"Me too. You even saw how much pain he got when he tried to remember something. It seems that he got amnesiac or something. The only thing that we know is only his name and nothing else." Replied Compa
"Nom….Nom…. I ayre… Nom…. Nom….whrich….. Nom…. Nom….Cuppa…. Nom…. Nom….." commented Neptune while munching her pudding
"Onee-chan, don't talk while you're eating. Please, eat your pudding first before talking." Suggested Nepgear
"I wish that Nep-Nep's second personality would come out at times like this. We need to talk with a more serious person here." Said Compa
"Don't worry about that, Compa-san. If needed, Onee-chan can be really serious without having to transform into her HDD form. After all, it's no wonder why Onee-chan is a bit slack off since we hardly have a spare time after the battle in Plutia-san's dimension." Commented Nepgear
"But….. Isn't that fight was two years ago? After all, Planeptune and the other nations are also hardly to find any obstacles, dangerous missions or suspicious phenomenon lately."
"Well, that's Onee-chan's words actually…. Anyway, I will talk to Histoire-san about this. We could request her for Kiba-san to live with us until he got his memories back. Though…. I hope that she won't be mad knowing that we slacked off a bit today." Said Nepgear while laughing nervously
"Oh yeah, I forgot. I told Iffy to meet us in the Basilicom. Seeing Yuuji-san has a little problem about his memories, I think Iffy could help us to find any information about Yuuji-san. Like where he came from, where is his family, what is his background and mostly why he ended up falling from the sky." Said Compa while checking her phone but there aren't any calls from IF yet
"Have you called her back again, Compa-san? Maybe she was quite busy. After all even if Planeptune was quite stable, there are still several quests in the Virtua Forest that needed to be done to increase Planeptune's shares. IF-san also does several quests to kill time too." Said Nepgear
"But, I have called her five times and there wasn't any answer. I just hope there isn't anything wrong with her." said Compa worried
"Don't worry, Compa! We know IF better than anyone else. She might get hooked up at busting those monsters in the Virtua Forest. After all, she already got Level 78. I don't know any other enemies who could defeat her easily." Said Neptune
"Well, I hope that I could be as optimistic as you, Nep-Nep. But, it still worries me. After all, Iffy is my childhood friend."
"Don't worry about IF-san, Compa-san. If Onee-chan says she is alright, then everything will be alright. I believe in Onee-chan. We just hope that IF-san truly only too focused on her quests until she realized how time flies."
"Well, okay then, Nep-Nep, Ge-Ge. Anyway, I will come back later. Please, take care Yuuji-san for me. And remember, once he wakes up; don't ask him too many questions that will overexert him. Of course the questions about his pasts or memories aren't an exception." Said Compa before leaving
"Don't worry, Compa! Once Yuu-kun gets up, we will spend our time playing with 'Kamen Nep Battride War Genesis' with him!" said Neptune cheerfully
"What do you mean by spending time with playing?" asked a voice behind Neptune. From the tone of it, the voice seemed to be an anger holding voice. Hearing that voice, both Neptune and Nepgear jolted out of blues. Their face turned into blue, no, they turned into purple now. Their cold sweets fell slowly from their face and they couldn't even spit a word from their mouth. They really know the source of the voice and there's only one people in the Basil, no in the Planeptune, who could say such a thing to them…..
"Oh, hiya… Histy…" said Neptune nervously while turning her head to face the biggest problem, yet, for the CPU of Planeptune
In front of her, there is a girl with cream-colored hair which is tied in pigtails using purple bows. She also has teal-colored eyes. The girl also wears a white-colored hat in her head with a purple "N" symbol at the center of it. She wears an off-shoulder purple dress with golden trims at the tip. Lastly, she wears a white stocking in her legs with matching shoes. However, the most surprising part is that she was really tiny! The girl might be only as big as Neptune's palms combined. To top of it, she was sitting on an opened book which gives her a flying capability. This is the Planeptune's Oracle, Histoire, nicknamed Histy. She also showed a face that seems to hold her anger. Even the Nep sibling could see a red tick mark in her head.
"IT'S NOT 'HIYA', NEPTUNE!" shouted Histoire angrily to the Nep sibling
"Geez, please chill out, Histy." Said Neptune while trying to calm her Oracle down
"HOW CAN CHILL OUT WHEN THE TWO OF YOU KEEP SLACKING OFF LIKE THIS!? I already said that you two need to finish your paperworks, cleaning your rooms, accepting any calls, and many more! But, all you did was sneaking out from the Basilicom when you had the chance. And in the end, I'm the one who worked out every of your unfinished businesses!" complained Histoire while blabbering like an old lady
"Ugh, come on, Histy! We need a little vacation after the big battle in Plutie's dimension." Rebutted Neptune
"THAT BATTLE ALREADY PASSED FOR TWO YEARS! SUCH A THING LIKE THAT ISN'T RELEVANT ANYMORE AS A REASON! You two CPUs are sure disappointed me. While other nations are trying so hard to increase their rate, you two just spend your time playing games, sleeping, shopping and slacking off. If it wasn't for me, the Planeptune's share will drop off the cliff!"
"Calm down, Histoire-san. It's not like that. We just…." Before Nepgear could continue, she was already cut by Histoire
"Please, keep silence for this, Nepgear. I still tolerate you because, unlike your sister, you still have some level of intelligence and diligence. You still sometimes help the jobs in the Basilicom and work all the paperworks. It's a shame that your sister gave such a bad influence to you. But, it's a different case for you, NEPTUNE! You spent 30% of your time to sleep, 40% to play games, 10% to eat foods and snacks, 5% to take a bath, and 15% to surf the internet! How can't I get angry if you spend one day full without any works!? You spent too many times with useless activities!" blabbered Histoire non-stop
"Uuuuugggghhhhh…. I still did the paperworks, Histy! I also did some rooms cleaning and getting every calls!" retorted Neptune
"It's not paperwork if you only drew a caricature of yourself in it! You also only cleaned the game consoles and it cupboard before getting to sleep with still messy rooms! You even played with cleaning sprays and brooms, hardening the works of the people in Basilicom! You even said 'Hello, this is Nep-chan! Wanna go for a ride with Nep's full service: playing games together, sleeping together, eating together. You all can choose between me or my cutie sexy form!'." said Histoire, making both Neptune and Nepgear shrunk a bit
"If it continues like this, the Planeptune will surely bankrupt and also overshadowed by the other nations in the next couple of years! Even the other CPUs are working really hard to beat Planeptune who has the second largest share behind Lastation." Said Histoire
Elsewhere, in Lastation…
"Yeah, I know! I'm doing with my paperworks! I will deal with your problems later! I'm super busy, so just buzz off!" said a girl with black hair that is tied in twintail. She angrily hung up her phone after getting the usual promotions, ads, a confiding in crazy people, and some people who ticked her off. The girl then pulled her hair out of frustration. However, she didn't let her emotions slip and continue her paperworks which were like a Mount Fuji version made out from paper. Just before she could write anything in the paper, her phone buzzed again.
"I SAID BUTT OUT, YOU CRAZY DISTURBER! I'M BUSY!" screamed the girl to the phone before throwing away her phone
Elsewhere, in a grocery stone in Lastation, there is a girl who was almost identical to the previous black twintail girl before; albeit a bit younger. However, she was frozen in place with white eyes while shaking in fear. She accidentally let her phone fell to the ground while still rocking uncontrollably in the public.
"Onee-chan…." Muttered the girl before letting some tears slipped from her eyes
Elsewhere, in Lowee…..
"Hmmm…. What's next? Maybe the protagonist, Ryunosuke Haru, will get corrupted in an armor named "Yamishiki" then being kissed by the fire girl. Then….." muttered a brunette girl while typing some words in her laptop. To be frank, she was writing a novel about a boy with his black armor-clad bodyguard who could seal spiritual beings through kiss. Together, they fight anyone who denies the spiritual beings' existence. Well, up until now, she got so hooked up in writing that she forgot to eat, sleep or even save her works. However, not long after that, she stretched her arm a bit. She even kept writing while charging her laptop and it's really overheating its charger now.
"Uuuugghhh…. Well, time for a real break. Rom and Ram will really miss me if I keep doing this." Said Blanc before trying to click the save button. Unfortunately, due to overheating, the charger goes "kaboom". The result of it made the girl's face was covered with a smoke and her face was all black. However, the most important thing that snapped her out that her laptop was turned off forcefully. To make it worse, she forgot to save her works. Knowing this, the girl looked down sadly before
"DAAAAAMMMMMMIIIIITTTTTTTT! WHY THE FUCK THAT THIS BITCHY THING HAPPENED WHEN I ALMOST FINISH MY WORK! STOP FUCKING WITH ME!" screamed the girl with red scary eyes while crackling her fist
Elsewhere in Leanbox…..
A blonde girl was enthusiastically playing game. She played it while pressing every buttons in quick succession. It seems that she is a hardcore gamer due to her professionalism in pressing the console's buttons. Occasionally, she would drink a cup of canned coffee to make her stay awake; proven with lots of empty coffee cans in the floor. After pressing some buttons, she made a victorious smile and poses.
"Yes! I won again! No one could defeat the master of all games!" boasted the girl with pride
She played the newest 'Kamen Nep Battride War Genesis' and she was hooked with PvP feature in it. She could choose any Kamen Nep to be played as and fight any players around the world. Despite only playing it for several hours, she already became a pro at it and she could easily defeat any opponent with the Kamen Nep with banana spear. However, the screen showed a new challenger for her. The girl, though, wasn't unfazed by it. She was sure that she will win regardless anything.
"A new challenger? From "Rider Kaizer", huh? Feh, bring it on! Let's see how much you could entertain the "Goddess of Game"!" said the girl before fighting the white overactive white Kamen Nep
5 minutes later….
"Vert-oneesama, are you there? Here, it's your tea and biscuits." Said one girl with light green hair before entering the previous girl's room. However, much to her surprise, the girl saw the aforementioned girl, Vert, was rocking uncontrollably at the side of her bed. She was rocking with depressed eyes written in her face. Seeing this, the green-haired girl soon threw away the tray of tea and biscuits before approaching Vert as fast as she can.
"Vert-onee-sama! What happened!? Are you alright!? Are you hurt!? Please, tell me!" said the girl really worried
"I…lost…." Muttered Vert weakly before continue her rocking
In her TV screen, the audience could see the white Kamen Nep showed a victorious pose to the us.
"Vert-oneesama! Vert-oneesama! VERT-ONEE-SAMA!" said the girl while shaking Vert continuously
"In anyway, Neptune, Nepgear, I will give you a big detention after this!" said Histoire
"WHAT!?" shouted the Nep sibling in unison
"Yes! From now on, you will only spend 20% of your time with playing game, the rest 80% will be filled with paperworks, attending any public shows, cleaning the Basilicom and many more! For another punishment, I will lock on your game rooms for two weeks before you could enter it again! Lastly, I want you to go the main hall to give you two a piece of my mind!"
"Uuummm…. Histoire-san, isn't that too much? I mean…." Said Nepgear before she was cut again
"Silence, Nepgear! You two have spent too many times on useless things. Now it's time to really take up the mantle as Planeptune's CPU and Candidate." Said Histoire
"Uuggggghhh…. You're not fun, Histy! At least, don't lock our rooms and please don't give your total boring speech again!" complained Neptune. Both she and Nepgear know that when it comes to speech, Histoire will only be blabbering everything in her minds for about 6 hours non-stop. Not only the amount of sharp words that she spit, the amount of boringness to stay awake over the course of it is so unbearable. Even Neptune got an extra 3 hours speech due to she slept last time in the speech.
"Histoire-san, maybe you're too tired. Even you got bags in your eyes. Histoire-san, it seems that you overexerted yourself. Don't worry about it, you should get rest. I and Onee-chan will take care the rest." Said Nepgear
"I'm not sleepy or tired! After all, I got this bag of eyes because I couldn't take a break from everything that should be your own work! In anyway, none of your words will be realized nor will it be true! Nepgear, I trust you, but I don't trust Neptune. The last time you assured something, your sister ended up doing something carelessly! I got tired with your slacking off attitude! I will lock your room now!" said Histoire angrily before hovering to the Nep sibling's room in order to lock it. Both Nepgear and Neptune remembered that Yuuji was sleeping in their room and it would be bad if Histoire locked the room. Neptune soon stood in front of the door, preventing Histoire from doing anymore actions.
"Hehe, Histy, please cool down. Actually, there is a guy who slept in our room. He got crashed with my head and he was amnesiac too. Can you please not to lock the room until he wakes up? After all, hehe, it's a CPU's responsibility to save a falling star guy and take care of him until he is fully recovered. That's why I went out from Basilicom to save him." Said Neptune nervously
"I don't believe you, Neptune! The last time I believed your stories I realized was clearly wrong! What guy!? What is falling star guy!? Why is that guy sleeping in your room is not my deal! Come on, let me in!" said Histoire while struggling Neptune to enter the room
"Uuummm…. Histoire-san, Onee-chan is right, there is a guy named "Kiba Yuuji-san" who slept in our room until he got better." Said Nepgear
"Oh, come on, Nepgear, don't tell me that you already became as spoiled as Neptune. And now you tried to trick me!?"
"No, Histoire-san! Onee-chan is saying the truth. I know that Onee-chan sometimes lies to us but in this case, she told the truth." Reasoned Nepgear
"I don't care and I don't want to know! JUST! LET! ME! IN!" said Histoire before using her force to push aside Neptune before barging into the CPU's room
However, she was frozen just after she barged in to the Nep sibling's room. There, Histoire saw Yuuji was sleeping peacefully in the bed. She stared at the man's face for a few seconds. She inspected every inches of Yuuji's facial appearances. She could see a tidy brown hair with a tiny mole just below his left eye. Not only that, Histoire sees that…..Yuuji is quite handsome too. Even his sleeping face is really cute. Histoire felt that her heart skipped a beat after seeing the guy. The longer she admires the handsomeness of Yuuji, the more she felt that her heart will explode. Even she felt that her body becomes hotter and hotter than before, such a feat that she never feels before.
"Uuuummm….. Neptune…. Who is that…..guy?" stammered Histoire
"Oh, that's Yuu….WOOOOAAAA! Histy, look at yourself! Your cheeks become red!" said Neptune while noticing the tomato cheeks in Histoire
"What!? No! My cheeks aren't red! Anyway, who is…that guy?" retorted Histoire with a bit of tsundere
"Well, Histoire-san. He is Kiba Yuuji-san. He was the guy who fell from the sky before we collected him to the Basilicom. We called Compa-san to tend his injuries and thankfully there were no serious damage. But, the impact to his head might severely injure his brain; as Kiba-san got a painful headache when he tried to remember his past. Seems like he got a little amnesiac. Because of that, we decided to take care of him until he got better and remembered his past." Explained Histoire
"Well… If that's the case then that meant you said the truth….. Anyway, I felt really tired right now. I will go back to sleep. Please, Neptune, Nepgear, take care of the Basilicom and Kiba Yuuji-san, okay." Said Histoire before shyly hovering away from the room. Both Nepgear and Neptune could only stare at Histoire's weir behavior; not to mention she blushed really hard as if she got a fever. Nepgear then stared at her sister
"Onee-chan…. Do you know what happened to Histoire-san?"
"Dunno!"
Yuuji once again saw a grey-colored vision again. The vision gave him the same painful ache to his head. He felt that his head might explode in seconds if this continues. However, despite the painful sensation that he got, he still wanted to know more about his pasts. Truly, when he woke up in the Planeptune's Basilicom, he felt that his head was really clear….. No, pretty much too clear that he only remembered his name. He didn't remember anything about his pasts, family, background or everything, except his own name. Whenever he tries to remember it, he gets a painful headache as if he himself doesn't want to remember it. The only thing that he could see was a plain gray vision which was too blurry to see anything, really. However, this time is different. He got a vision during his sleep. The headache, though still painful, isn't as bad as the usual headache in the real world. Now, he focused his minds and eyes thoroughly to see what's actually behind his past. Yuuji saw himself in front of him. Yes, he saw his own self fell to his knees in front of a lone tree in a grass land. Yuuji saw his vision self's face which was mixed between grief, betrayal, disappointment, and despair; all mixed into one uncomfortable feeling. This Yuuji silently took a small amount of white sand to his hand. Seeing it, his body trembled so much that he felt that there was an earthquake. Yuuji was crying really hard with each tears was dropping endlessly to the white sand in his hands. The Yuuji who saw this scene was even surprised to see his self to be in a lot of grief like this.
"They killed her…. They killed her! THEY KILLED OSADA-SAN! THEY KILLED OSADA-SAN! HHUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed Yuuji in anguish
Before the real Yuuji could see anything more, his world around him turned into black void. In instant, he lost his visions and sensation to his surroundings. He only saw the pitch black world. Yuuji couldn't do anything except letting himself driven to the black void…
"Ha!" shouted Yuuji surprised before waking up from his sleep. He then checked his surroundings, but only to find the same room where he was woken up by Compa. There's no more weird gray vision anymore. It's just a plain room for girls with dolls, game consoles, comics, magazines, snacks and so much more. However, when Yuuji inspected the Nep's sibling's room carefully, he found that the room was very messy. The game consoles was stacked messily, comics and magazines were lying on the ground, several remnant of snacks which was littering the floor, several dolls that were scattering on the room. He deduced that the room isn't too often to be cleaned; maybe around once a week. He even saw several cockroaches were eating the remnants of the snacks and entered the littered snacks' plastic. He even saw flies and mosquitoes were flying endlessly.
"Haaaaaiiii… This room sure is messy. But, I understand that maybe Nep-chan and Gear-chan are bit busy; or not… After all, they are still young. Anyway, I need to do something about this." Said Yuuji before trying to get up. However, he stopped a bit after remembering his weird dream. He questioned himself about the person that he referred in his dream.
"Osada-san…. Who is she?" asked Yuuji to himself before shrugging it off and getting up from his bed
4 hours later…..
"Watch out, Onee-chan! I'm going to be the lead now!" said Nepgear enthusiastically while playing the Moto GP game
"Ope, not so fast little sister-o-mine! I still have some little trick on my sleeves!" said Neptune before making the rider in the game drifted sharply past the rider that Nepgear played as
"What!? That's cheating, Onee-chan!" pouted Nepgear
"Well, all fair in war, Nep Jr.! Wohoo! Look, that's the finish line! Seems like it's my victory now!" said Neptune before sprinting the rider to the finish line. Just before the rider passed the finish line, the TV was suddenly turned off, shocking both Neptune and Nepgear.
"WHAT!? Oh, come on! I almost win the game!" complained Neptune childishly
However, they felt a cold glare behind them. Slowly, they turned their head and found that Histoire was holding the stop contact of the TV. She was glaring at the Nep sibling with her cold teal eyes while tapping her foot in her book. From the look of it (and obviously), Histoire wasn't really happy to see the Nep sibling kept playing games while forgetting about their important works.
"Hoooo….. I left you two to sleep and look at what have I done. Man, I was completely wrong…" hissed Histoire
"Oh, hey, Histy…. Hehehe" giggled Neptune nervously
"I already gave you a responsibility to take care of the Basilicom while I slept. And during the past 4 hours, you DID NOTHING THAN PLAYING GAMES!? I'm disappointed in you girls! I thought that I could finally trust you, especially due to Kiba-san's case. But, I was wrong! I will never believe you again from now on!"
"But, Histoire-san…." Nepgear was cut by Histoire, again…
"Stop it, Nepgear! I'm disappointed on you too because you kept slacking off with your sister. No more tolerating! I gave you compensation because Kiba-san needed to rest but now, it's different! I will give you some detention full 24 hours in every day!"
"Oh come on, Histy! Don't be so meanie!"
"SILENCE, NEPTUNE! I have sick with your lazy attitude! No more playing games ever again! I will call Noire later to give you more lessons how to become a proper CPU! From now, you can onlyplay games once in a month!"
"Oooohhhhh….. Not Noire, her speech is even more boring! Come on, Histy, we just play with our new game. Please give us a little toleration….." begged Neptune
"NO! What is yes is yes! No more toleration! Just look at yourselves! While you're playing with your so-called game, your own room is…." said Histoire before the dragging the Nep sibling to their room. However, just after they went to the room, Histoire's eyes widened and she even went agape after seeing her surroundings. The room that she saw wasn't a trash dump with littered snacks, messy dolls, beds, game consoles or even the base of cockroaches, but what she is a very clean, tidy and shiny room. Every remnants of the snacks has been cleared, every dolls was stacked tidily in the wardrobe, the game consoles was stored one the wardrobe just below the TV, the floor was cleaned and wiped, the window was shining brightly and even the bed was tidied. Every inches of the room were cleaned at perfectionist style with every part shone brightly. Not only Histoire, even Neptune and Nepgear went agape after seeing their cleaned room.
"Hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina." Stammered the three girls after seeing the astonishing beauty in front of them
"Is this my room?" asked Neptune dumbfounded
"I don't know, Onee-chan….." replied Nepgear while kept staring at their room
"Neptune, you surely didn't clean this room, right?" asked Histoire
"Nope."
After regaining their senses, Neptune and the others went out from their room to relieve a shocking day dream for them. However, they went agape again after seeing the whole Basilicom was shining brightly. Yes, even the Basilicom was cleaned thoroughly. The floor was wiped, the window was sprayed with water, the wall was cleaned and recolored, the plants were watered, the bathrooms were shining and literally many more. In conclusion, the Basilicom was not only cleaned, but there were a bit redecoration. Literally, the Oracle and the CPUs even doesn't recognize their old Basilicom. While they were admiring the astonishing beauty of their Basilicom, Nepgear spotted an old man who is a worker of the Basilicom. She approached him, in hope to find the cause of this incredible makeover.
"Um, sorry, sir, but are you the one who cleaned the whole Basilicom like this?" asked Nepgear politely to the old man
"Oh, Nepgear-sama. Oh, of course, it wasn't me who cleaned the Basilicom like this. None of the workers could clean this place as clean as that guy."
"That guy?"
"Yes, I came across a new guy in Basilicom when I tried to start cleaning. At first, I refused his request to clean the Basilicom, but he insisted too much and he even said 'Sorry, sir, but I just want to lessen the amount of work for you and the others. After all, I know that you're already old. It's an oblige if I could help an old people like you who should just enjoy your time.'. Well, I was reluctant at first but I saw that his works were truly astonishing. He completely cleaned and redecorated every inches of the Basilicom in 4 hours. Even all of the workers soon took some time off after seeing the guy's works. That guy sure was really kind, polite, calm and collective. It's really hard to find such a diligent guy like him."
"Well….thanks…." thanked Nepgear before approaching her sister and Oracle
"Yep, pretty much it's him! No one could defy such a clear description like that." Commented Neptune
"Who is "he" anyway?" asked Histoire before the trio smelled a delicious scent. Following their instinct, the three closed their eyes before letting themselves to follow the scent. They savored every inches of scent that they sniffed and it wasn't a bad or even a smelly scent. They kept following the scent until they arrived in the Basilicom's dining room. There, they were even more surprised than ever! Their eyes were widened and they went agape while opening their mouth widely. They were shocked to see some delicious dinner right in front of them! While the foods were just a simple homemade dinner that won't match a class 5 foods, at least it gives them more variety due to the Nep sibling always buys foods. There are fried rice, fried fish, tofu, okonomiyaki, curry, sushi, tappenyaki, miso soup and many more. For them, this is a very rare scene that they don't imagine to happen.
"Hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina." Stammered the three while going agape
"Eh? Did anyone said 'hamina'?" asked Yuuji while coming out from the kitchen. He wore a white apron in his chest while also carrying a tray of 'yagyu' steak in his hands. He soon went to the table before placing the yagyu steak and serving the rest of the dinner. All of the Planeptune's core residents could only stare at the tons of foods in front of them. Even their saliva was flooding down in the floor and their eyes were shining like a star. However, Nepgear was the first one who regained her senses and she was surprised to see Yuuji was preparing a dinner for them.
"Kiba-san!? What are you doing?" asked Nepgear
"Well, I'm just cooking and preparing a dinner for you girls." Said Yuuji with a smile
"Oh gosh, Yuu-kun! Is this really for us!? Can we eat it!? Can we!? Can we!? Can we!?" asked Neptune enthusiastically
"Of course, you could eat these. I made it special for all of you. Hai! Here it is!" said Yuuji before serving several juices to the Nep sibling. In instant, Neptune then tackled Yuuji happily. Yuuji, despite a bit reluctant, just let the little girl hugged him. After all, he felt that when the others are happy, he is happy too. Though, it became uncomfortable because Neptune was rubbing her cheek with Yuuji's. This made the guy blushed really hard.
"Oooohhhh… Yuu-kun, you don't know how happy I am!? I always eat foods from the market, store, and I never make my own feasts. I always burn up the kitchen if I do it!" said Neptune while rubbing her cheek with Yuuji
"Yeah, thanks. I know. Anyway, can you stop doing this, please?"
"Nu? Yuu-kun doesn't like my cheek rubbing? Now, I'm sad…"
"No, no, no! It's not like that. But, let's just eat for now." Suggested Yuuji
"Well, you're right, Yuu-kun. Anyway, Nep Jr., let's have a big feat right now!" said Neptune before jumping to the heaven in the dining room
"Wait, Onee-chan!" said Nepgear before following her sister. Yuuji could only make a satisfied smile in his face after seeing the happy face of the Nep sibling. That smile….. It is the most things that he won't regret to see in his life. Seeing a sibling is bickering with each other but then worked together, played together and sleep together surely is the most happiest and memorable memories in his mind. Even if he lost his memories about his previous past, at least, he will make a new memory in the future.
'Haaaaa… I wish I have my own little sister…' thought Yuuji
"Umm…. Are you Kiba Yuuji-san?" asked Histoire while hovering to Yuuji
"Ah, yes. It's me. He? Who are you!? Why are you flying in that book and…you are so tiny!?" asked Yuuji a bit surprised
"Don't be scared, Kiba-san. My name is Histoire, the Oracle of Planeptune. You could say that I'm the manager or secretary of a nation."
"Oh, so that's it… Ah, I'm sorry if I was a bit inconvenient and reckless in this place. I didn't ask a permission to sleep or even clean and cook in this place."
"Ah, no, it's not a problem! It should be me who should apologize to you. I'm sorry, Kiba-san. You actually don't have to do all of this. It should be Neptune and Nepgear's works, but you took their place in it. I want to apologize for those two's laziness. Terribly, I was ashamed that a normal person like you would want to do such a thing like this." Apologized Histoire
"No. I did this because I wanted to. After all, it's not good to disturb children who enjoy their time, right? This is also as thank for taking care of me while I was out of commission."
"But, it should be their work! You know that Neptune and Nepgear are the ruler in this nation, the CPU. They should be more hard-working and not spending their time playing useless games and sleeping. They need to take up the mantle as a true ruler of nation."
"What!? Nep-chan and Gear-chan are the ruler in this nation!? Pardon me, Histoire-san. But, I'm a bit confused now. I actually was confused because I don't know where am I? What is a CPU? I don't know…..everything to be honest."
"Well, Neptune said that you're amnesiac. It's no wonder if you don't know your own past or even any information about the nations. I will tell you a short story of it." said Histoire before speaking the history of the nations and CPUs
One story later…
"HAH!? Nep-chan and Gear-chan are the CPU of this nation, Planeptune!? I can't believe it! Histoire-san, maybe you are a bit joking. I mean why the burden and responsibility of the world is placed to them!? They are still too young. I'm afraid that they will hurt themselves." Said Yuuji shocked
"But, it's the truth, Kiba-san. I know that this fact is a bit surprising but it's the CPU's works to maintain the nation as stable as ever. And, I bet that you haven't see Neptune's true form, Purple Heart. Well, I bet that you will be even surprise when you saw her in that form." Said Histoire
"Um, nom, nom, nom, nom, yeah, Yuu-kun. I'm the one and only CPU of the Planeptune, Purple Heart! I'm the main heroine here and I will slay every inches of evilness!" said Neptune while raising a fried chicken
"Onee-chan….."
"Haha, anyway, Nep-chan, I know that you're the ruler of the Planeptune. But, please don't overexert yourself, okay?" said Yuuji
"Feh! My body is more than okay to fight 100 enemies! Can you see my muscle here?" said Neptune while showing her arms
"Okay, okay. But, please don't hurt yourself. You're still a fragile girl, you know? It will be bad for your growth."
"Umm… Kiba-san, I think that you're a bit wrong. CPUs don't age at all and Neptune isn't young. She is age for several decades. And….. You know that giving a suggestion like that will only make the two become even lazier." Whispered Histoire
"Still….. I felt a little bad for such a young and innocent girls like Nep-chan and Gear-chan need to take a big responsibility. Say, Histoire-san, I know I'm a bit selfish and stupid but don't you think that sooner or later, Nep-chan and Gear-chan will truly take as a mantle as a CPU? I mean this isn't going to be the role that they will have forever, at least let them enjoy their times. When they become mature, I don't think that they will even have time to smile like this." Said Yuuji while looking at Neptune and Nepgear who was eating with a big smile in their face. Despite what Yuuji said is naïve, Histoire thought that he has a point. When she thought about it, Neptune and Nepgear with the other CPUs have fought in so many battles together. There were hardships and anguishes, but with their compassionate, they passed all over the obstacles in their life. Even Nepgear and Neptune had prevented the other CPUs to be a sacrifice to defeat one strong enemy. Who knows when a new threat will arise and who knows either whether Neptune and Nepgear could keep this smile. This is also the thing that Yuuji are thinking after knowing that little girls like Neptune and Nepgear must fight in dangerous battles. There is a thought that Yuuji wants to become stronger. Stronger enough to protect the Nep sibling. At least, he wants the girls not to be burden with such a big fight.
"Haaa… You have a point, though, Kiba-san. Well, I don't have any choice than believe in you right now." Said Histoire before taking a deep sigh
"Histy! Come on, let's eat this food! This tappenyaki and yagyu steak is the most delicious dish here! And, oh, Yuu-kun, I want an additional rice!" said Neptune cheerfully
"Coming!" said Yuuji before approaching Neptune. However, he didn't know that Histoire was staring at him with red cheeks in her face. Histoire herself felt that her heart beats faster than ever.
'Polite, hard-working, kind, collective, calm, and diligent… My…. Yuuji-kun is a type of guy that women will hut for….' Thought Histoire shyly
"Histoire-san, let's eat together!" said Yuuji, snapping Histoire from her endless thought
Suddenly, the three girls with Yuuji were standing at a desert with several abandoned factories around them. Not only them, there were several men who were wearing some military uniform with rifles standby. There were even 3 jeep cars near the army. Both, Nepgear and Histoire put a serious face and even they were gulping their own saliva. They were sweating really hard. Not only them, Yuuji, who was beside Histoire, was also sweating really hard right now due to the tense atmosphere there. The only person who can't read the situation is only Neptune due to she was eating pudding happily while sitting at the jeep's bar and swinging her legs. Her sister and Oracle chose to just ignore Neptune for now. However, Yuuji couldn't help but laugh nervously after seeing Neptune's carefree attitude. Yuuji remembered how they got in this situation.
"Eh? A power up upgrade?" asked Yuuji before eating a piece of tofu
"Yep! I will get another upgrade right now! After all, I'm the main heroine here and surely I will be the one who will become stronger first!" boasted Neptune while rubbing her nose
"Onee-chan! Don't say such a thing that will only confuse Kiba-san even more. Anyway, actually we will go to the border of Planeptune and the second nation, Lastation." Explained Nepgear
"Last…tation?"
"Lastation is another nation which is ruled by another CPU, other than Planeptune. That nation is ruled by CPU Black Heart, Noire-san. It is the busiest nation out of the main 4 and it has the highest share energy up until now." Explained Histoire even more
"But…. Why will you three go there?"
"Well, actually, Noire-san found a mysterious briefcase recently. Inside the briefcase, there was a mysterious belt, with camera, flashlight and a phone. She felt that the belt holds a very strong aura but the problem is…. She couldn't use it at all." Said Nepgear
"Yeah! That's why she called me, the strongest heroine ever in Gamindustri's history, to control that belt! Hehe, I surely will be able to use that belt and gain a power up!"
"Oh….. So, that's it!"
"Oh yeah, Kiba-san. You could follow us to meet Noire-san. After all, it will be good for you to learn more about the other nations. You could also know more about other CPUs." Said Histoire
"Ah, I don't think that I would be useful there. I would only get in the way if I'm there."
"Don't worry about that, Kiba-san. After all, there's nothing I could offer more after so many goods that you have done in the Basilicom. Anyway, you could live with us now and you're our family now and ever." Said Histoire
And that's why Yuuji ended up in this place. The four were waiting for Noire to arrive at the borderland in order to give that mysterious belt. It's quite bizarre for the other nation to cooperate so willingly to other nations. Despite there already signed a piece treaty, every nations are still rivaling to get shares energy to build up their nations even more. Having in possession of a mysterious belt which has ominous strong aura, it's weird for the Lastation to give such a thing easily to other nations, especially Planeptune. Still, it's a smart choice because as Noire claimed that she couldn't use it no matter what. Rather than wasting the time with something they couldn't use, it's much better to give it to other nations who in hope can use it fully. In this case, the second nation with the second largest shares, Planeptune. That's why; Noire was more than willing to give it to the Planeptune's CPU, Neptune. Yuuji's thought was soon snapped by a poke from Neptune.
"Hey, Yuu-kun!" said Neptune cheerfully
"Ah, Nep-chan! What is it?" asked Yuuji
"Nah, it's nothing. But, your face is so tense like Histy and Nep Jr. Come on, chill out a bit. It's not like something bad will happen."
"I actually want to be as optimistic as possible, Nep-chan. But, still the atmosphere gave a really cold and strong tense here. I just…feel something bad will happen…."
"Well… It would be a lie if I told that the air around us isn't condensed. I felt a weird aura too in this air. But…. I just shrugged it off. Anyway, thanks for cleaning the Basilicom and cooking for us. You know, you seem to be the only person who could tame Histy, you know."
"Well, you're welcome. I just did what I thought was right."
"Um! Thank you. Well, it's not like I don't want to work, I just…couldn't find the mood to do it….. I really hope that Histy would understand about it, but she is only a blabbering old woman."
"Hush! Don't say such a bad thing to Histoire-san. After all, she still greatly takes care of you until now. You should listen to her sometimes. Histoire-san is really a nice woman."
"Yeah… if it's you, I will listen to it, Yuu-kun!"
"Anyway, Nep-chan. Are you really alright by becoming a CPU? I mean being a ruler of a nation isn't such an easy task like playing cards. You will have a full big responsibility of it. You're still so young, you know. Not only you, but also Gear-chan. I'm afraid that you will need to carry a very big burden in your back. If there's something that I could help, just tell me."
"Nope! I perfectly still fine, Yuu-kun. After all, I only spend my time with playing games with Jr. and if I need to do a paperwork, I will let Jr. to do it. I will still do some basic things like moping, cleaning and watering the plants. But, well, it's once in a blue moon. Histy really blabbers me about this. Well, seems like I need to listen to your words from now on. But, other than that, I'm still fine. I just enjoy myself as the CPU of Planeptune and I'm still okay right now. There haven't been any dangerous threats right now."
"But, will you be alright? I mean I heard from Histoire-san that you have been going through so many battles. I know that you must have so many injuries both physically and mentally. Such a young girl like you shouldn't be fighting to protect their nations like this. After all, don't you have any parents? I mean, I wish I could be stronger too so that I could be fighting at your side." Said Yuuji worried only to meet a pat in his shoulder from Neptune
"Yuu-kun… If I said it's going to be alright, it will be alright. I know that you're worried to me, to Jr., to Histy, and to other CPUs. But, I'm still strong enough to protect myself… and the nation too. Don't worry about me, you haven't see the real me. Hehe, I really like you, you know, Yuu-kun. I mean we only met for a day but you already did so many things to us. Cleaning, cooking and now worrying about me. It's sincerity to meet such a kind guy like you. Well, I'm really grateful to meet you. Somewhat, you give me a little reason to do more thing tomorrow. I also get a spirit to do more things. Yuu-kun, once again, I assure you, I won't injure myself or even die in front of you. I assure that." Said Neptune with comforting eyes; something that could only be seen once in a blue moon
"Nep-chan…. I understand. Still, if you need my help, I will always be in your side, on Gear-chan's side, on Histoire-san's side, and on Planeptune's side." Said Yuuji
"Oh…. You're so sweet, Yuu-kun! Now, I really like you!" said Neptune before clinging on Yuuji's hand
"Hey, it's embarrassing. Please, stop that, Nep-chan."
However, their sweet time was disturbed with the appearance of another jeep car in front of them. This jeep car contained several army men with rifles and also a girl a bit older than Neptune and Nepgear. Soon, the army men jumped from the car before preparing their rifles standby from any unwanted threats. The girl soon jumped out from the jeep too while being guarded by several men with rifles standby. The girl has red crimson eyes with black hair. Her hair is tied in twintail with blue ribbons. She has a very skinny body and she wore maid-like black top with golden trimmings and white frills around her upper arm and chest, and also reveals a certain portion of her…ahem…assets. Her skirt is white with black trimming and is rather frilled compared to her top, and goes down to her lower-thigh. Seeing the girl, Neptune couldn't be happier than ever.
"Oh, hello, Noirey!" shouted Neptune energetically to the red-eyed girl before running toward the girl
"Hey, it's not 'Noirey'! It's Noire!" retorted the girl, named Noire
"Histoire-san, is she….."
"Yes, Kiba-san. The CPU of Lastation, Noire-san." Said Histoire. Well after that, the tense was a bit lowered thanks to the funny scene where Neptune was hugging Noire tightly while the twintail girl tried to release her friend's hug. Even, Yuuji and the others couldn't help but giggle to see this.
"Ugh, release me, Neptune! It's really embarrassing!" complained Noire while struggling with Neptune's hug
"Why should I? It's been long time since we met together. I want to express my happiness to see my best friend. I really miss you, Noire. Don't you miss me?"
"Well… It's not that I don't miss you. Do, Do, Don't get me wrong! It's not that we are a best friend or anything. We are just colleague. Now, get me off, Neptune! It's really embarrassing!" said Noire, tsundere-ly, before being released from Neptune's bear hug. After being released from Neptune, Noire noticed a person who she didn't familiar with.
"Neptune…. Who is that?" asked Noire while pointing at Yuuji
"Me?" asked Yuuji while pointing at himself
"Oph! That's Kiba Yuuji, Yuu-kun! He is my new friend in Planeptune. He fell from the sky and got amnesiac. But, other than that, he is really proficient at house works, cooking, and he is super-duper kind, polite and diligent! He is the best friend that you could ever wish for!" said Neptune while introducing Yuuji to Noire
"Oh! So, another friend of yours who also fell from the sky? Anyway, sorry for the rude introduction. I'm Noire, the CPU of Lastation. Also known as CPU Black Heart." said Noire while holding the hem of her skirt and bowing in graceful manner
"Ah, don't be so formal, Noire-chan. I'm not such a big person who is worthy to be introduced in this way. Anyway, I'm Kiba Yuuji. Nice to meet you, Noire-chan." Introduced Yuuji while offering his hand. However, Noire was shaking greatly and her eyes were white. She even couldn't even put a great reply in such situation. Her cheeks were even in deep red color.
"You called me…with '-chan'?"
"Yes. Is that a problem? If yes, I'm deeply sorry, Noire-ch, ah, Noire-san." Apologized Yuuji
"No… It's not like that I don't like it….. It just…..I'm a bit embarrassed….. No one called me with such a cute suffix like that. Anyway, you could call me with anything, except nothing that's too embarrassing." Said Noire while blushing really hard
"Watch out, Yuu-kun. Noirey could be really tsundere at times." Whispered Neptune suddenly in Yuuji's ear before leaving him again
"Oh….. Hum, what is tsundere?" muttered Yuuji
"Hello, Noire-san. It's been a long time we haven't seen each other." Greeted Nepgear
"Oh, hi, Nepgear. How are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks. Oh, where's Uni-chan? She should be following you to here, right?" asked Nepgear. However, to her surprise, Noire was looking down with a sad face and she was sighing really long. Even her face was quite unenergetic not like the usual. Nepgear was now even worried to what happened to Noire and her best friend.
"Haaa…. Actually, Nepgear, Uni was quite fed up because of a little misunderstanding. But, don't worry about it; I'm sure that Uni will understand later." Said Noire
"Oh, yeah, I hope that Uni-chan will get better." Said Nepgear. Though, she couldn't erase her worries to her best friend, Uni
"Anyway, Noirey, what is the thing that you wanted to show me earlier?" asked Neptune, finally to the point of the meeting
"Don't call me like that, you dork! Anyway, I'm giving this mysterious belt to you not because I like you or what. I just don't want this thing to become a waste." Said Noire before taking out a quite big briefcase. The briefcase was a simple white case with words: "Smart Brain" was engraved in it. Yuuji noticed the briefcase that Noire was carrying before he saw another grey void vision again. Seeing this vision again gave a painful headache to Yuuji.
"AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!" cried Yuuji in pain while holding his aching head
"Kiba-san/Yuu-kun!" said the girls before approaching the in pain Yuuji. Yuuji once again saw the armored figure with silver-plated armor and red lines again. This time, the figure was staring at Yuuji but everything was too blurry to recall anything from it. Even Yuuji's headache became even worse. However, after receiving another headache, he was already ready for it so he was still able to endure it. Though, it was still as painful as ever.
"Yuu-kun! Are you alright!? Are you okay!?" asked Neptune worried
"Uuuuuuurrrrrgghhh…. Don't worry, Nep-chan… I'm alright. Just continue the test for that belt." Said Yuuji while holding his painful head
However, their times were disturbed by a scream from one of Planeptune's army. Hearing this, the two CPU and one Candidate rushed to the core of the sound. Neptune was also carrying the "Smart Brain" case.
"Histy, please take care of Yuu-kun, okay?" said Neptune
"Um!" nodded Histoire before seeing the three girls rushed to the crime scene
"Histoire-san….. Where are they going to?" asked Yuuji with still painful head
"I don't know either. I just hope that there won't be any problems. I also hope that they won't fight another enemy." Said Histoire
Meanwhile, the three girls arrived at the gate of the Planeptune. There they saw several army men from Planeptune were shooting relentlessly to a monstrous figure in front of them. The figure in front of them has a white color body. It has several blue spots in its body and also an abs in its stomach. This monster has a panther-like humanoid head with sharp green eyes. Lastly, he wears a blue scarf in his neck which is quite tattered in several places. This is Panther Orphnoch. The Panther Orphnoch was grabbing one of the army men's neck. He then snapped the man's neck before throwing away the lifeless corpse. Not only one, the Panther Orphnoch has already killed around 15 people within the vicinity. Suspiciously, there is also a huge amount of sand in the battlefield. After snapping one of the men's neck, the Panther Orphnoch proceeded to approach the remaining army slowly. He walked toward them with pride while growling in order to taunt them. On the other side, the army was aiming their rifles to the monster.
"This is the last warning! Don't come any closer or we will shoot you!" shouted the leader of the army
Despite hearing such a warning, the Orphnoch wasn't unfazed by it and just slowly marching toward them. Seeing no other choice, the army opened their fires to the Orphnoch. To their surprise, the Orphnoch was immune to their bullets. Their attacks only tickled the panther-like monster a bit. The men could only scream in terror while firing their bullets to the monster. When the monster finally arrived in front of the men, the Panther Orphnoch grabbed the muzzle of the rifle before twisting it. Seeing the monster's immense strength, the said man could only scream in fear. After throwing aside the twisted rifle, the Orphnoch grabbed the man's neck before kicking the man's stomach multiple times. Not only that, the Orphnoch kicked the man's feet; grounding him. Not finished yet, the panther monster grabbed the man's leg before twisting it with his immense strength and decapitating it from the body. After this, the Orphnoch then mauled at his prey mercilessly. Despite the army's best effort to shoot the monster, none of their attacks affected him. Even the two CPUs and one candidate could only watch the monster's brutal attack while being frozen out of shock.
"Wha, wha, what is this monster!? We can't kill it, huuuuuuaaaaa!" screamed one of the army before running for his life
However, the Orphnoch saw this and performed a long leap to the running man. He then grounded said man. However, the man begged the monster to spare his life as a last resort.
"Please… Don't kill me….. I have a wife and two daughters…. Please, spare me….. Huuuuuuaaaaaaaaa!"
However, the man's plead was all for naught. The Panther Orphnoch mauled and ate the man's face while the others could only hear the man's scream. Even the Orphnoch mutilated the man's body before mauling every inch of the man's body parts. Now, the Orphnoch's pure white body was tainted with the crimson color of blood. Even the cat-like monster licked the remnants of the blood in his finger. The monster was soon met with the rifles' shot again. But, it was all for naught since the monster wasn't affected by it. The monster soon leaped to one of the men before disarming him. After it, the Orphnoch soon slashed the man brutally with sharp claws. Not only that, he even scratched the man's head and stabbed his eyes before decapitating his head. Seeing no other choice, several army men was charging to the Orphnoch while shooting endlessly to the monster. Seeing that he was surrounded, the Orphnoch soon slashed several men to pieces with a single slash from his claws. The pieces of their bodies were falling endlessly falling to the ground. In instant, the whole Planeptune's army was decapitated easily by a single monster. It wasn't a dungeon monster or part of any evil organization. Even Neptune, for the first time, showed a scared face. She felt really scared. Unlike usual, no matter what happened, Neptune always thinks positive despite how much she is scared. However, this time is different. She felt scared, so so so so so scared that she was trembling uncontrollably. The same goes for Noire and Nepgear.
"What is that monster….? He is….really gross…." Stammered Nepgear scared
"I don't know Jr…. I….." stammered Neptune
"You're scared, right, Neptune?" asked Noire
"WHAT!? I, I, I, I'm not scared! How in the world that a super heroine like me could be scared from that monster!?" retorted Neptune
"You don't have to lie, Neptune. To be honest, I'm scared too. It's okay for us to be scared. Even if we are a CPU, we still have some feelings like normal human. It's natural to be scared, but don't let that scare controls you." said Noire while also trembling
"Noirey…"
Not long after that, some of Noire's army men entered the scene. They were carrying some high-caliber rifles and there was even a gatling gun in the jeep. The leader soon commenced an open fire to the Orphnoch. The gatling gun was quite effective to at least gave some minor damage to the Orphnoch. However, it was so minor that it only angered the monster even more. Angered, the Panther Orphnoch soon leaped on the jeep before attacking the gatling gun's controller. He mauled the man mercilessly while also ripping its face apart. The other men tried to shoot the panther monster but none of it was effective. The Panther Orphnoch soon leaped down from the jeep before using his immense strength to push the jeep toward the army men. The men tried to shoot the jeep but the car's heavy defense hardened them. The army could only scream in terror while shooting endlessly to the incoming car and kept backing down until they reached a wall. When their back hit a wall, they already found a dead end and there were no other way around to escape. After all, the Panther Orphnoch was pushing the jeep to its limit and the army didn't have any choice but to shoot the Orphnoch.
"Don't come here! Don't come here! Go away! GO AWAY!" screamed the Noire's army's team leader while shooting relentlessly to the jeep. However, it was all for naught because the jeep was heading toward them at full speed with no way to dodge it. Noire's army was destined to doom in the end. Despite it, they kept shooting no matter how it will fail in the end. They are the army who devoted their life to the CPU Black Heart, Noire. Despite that they will die, their devotion won't go in waste and they will die honorably.
"For Lady Noire, don't ever falter you guys! Hiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaa!" screamed the team's leader before the jeep was crushing them alive. Despite already crushing them, the Panther Orphnoch kept increasing his strength to crush them even more. He crushed the jeep to the army with full force. And soon…. Their scream was put to end with blood was splattering from the body of the jeep. Seeing this, Nepgear could only close her eyes before being hugged by her sister who could only face away from such a tragedy. Even Noire could only cover her mouth and face away from the inhuman brutal genocide from the Orphnoch. Seeing that their comrades were killed, the remaining of the army opted to run away for their life. Seeing this, the Orphnoch elongated his fingers which chased down the running away prey. The fingers soon entered the men's body from nose, ears eyes and mouth. In x-ray vision, the elongated fingers found their way to the men's heart. The fingers soon stabbed the heart; disintegrating the men's heart. The Panther Orphnoch soon retracted back his tentacle fingers before seeing his prey was clutching their chest in pain. The escaping men's body soon turned into grey color which is as grey as sand dust. Not long after that, their body crumbled into dust. Seeing this, Neptune couldn't hold her urge again and she hugged Noire while trying to escape from the nightmare. Even Noire was facing away from the Orphnoch to face away form the cruel and brutal reality. However, there is still one man who was crawling in fear after seeing the rest of his comrades were decapitated by the Orphnoch. The Orphnoch was slowly marching to the crawling man who was really scared by the monster. Neptune, who has enough with this brutal scene, soon released Nepgear and Noire's hug before running toward to the Orphnoch to stop this genocide once and for all.
"STTTTTTOOOOOPPPPP IIIIITTTTT!" screamed Neptune before summoning a purple katana out of the thin air
Neptune soon charged to the Orphnoch in mach speed. Before the Orphnoch could lay a hand to the man, Neptune clashed her weapon with the Orphnoch's hand. Their hand and katana were sparkling endlessly due to the strength of the clash.
"Run for it!" shouted Neptune to the scared man before ordering him to run away from the battlefield
After being sure that the man has escaped, Neptune soon focused to her enemy in front of her. Seeing an endless clash, the Orphnoch decide to end it with a kick to Neptune's stomach. However, Neptune's reflex was good enough to block the kick with his katana. Still, the force of the impact injured Neptune a bit. The Orphnoch wasted no time to leap to the girl while trying to slash Neptune. Seeing this, Neptune blocked it with her katana. Neptune soon took a step back before trying to slash the monster. However, the Orphnoch easily dodged all of her naught slash. Instead, the Orphnoch managed to scratch Neptune's cheek. The Orphnoch then tried to punch Neptune but the girl used her katana to block the fist. However, this left her so opened that the Orphnoch managed to land a swift kick to Neptune's stomach. The Orphnoch then tried kicked Neptune aside but the girl still managed to block it. Still, the force was powerful enough to knock away Neptune. The panther monster then slashed Neptune away, tearing away Neptune's Jersey dress.
"Kkkkkkkyyyaaaaaa!" screamed Neptune in pain
"Neptune!"
"Onee-chan!"
However, the Orphnoch wasn't finished yet. He soon leaped to the sky before grabbing Neptune's head. He soon fell to the ground while smacking Neptune's head to the ground. Noire and Nepgear could only gasp in shock after seeing this. Seeing that, his opponent is decapitated, the Orphnoch then walked way from the crater that he made to Neptune. However, he was surprised to see Neptune leaped from the ground before to slash the Orphnoch's face. The attack missed an inch from the Orphnoch's face but it was still strong enough to make the monster bled a little blood. Despite Neptune got a painful impact in the head, she was still conscious and strong enough to continue the fight. Albeit, her vision became a bit blurry and she was quite dizzy too. But, she is still confident to defeat the enemy in front of her.
"Haa…..Haa…. Haa….. You think that simple attack could subdue this Nep? Then, you're truly wrong! Ha….. Ha….. Ha… I'm a bit scared by you…. Ha…. I admit it… But, it would be wrong if a heroine like me die here…. Sorry… Ha…. But, I will beat you now and ever! Cross Combination!" shouted Neptune before rushing to the Orphnoch
Neptune soon delivered her special skills to the monster. She performed a barrage of diagonal slashes in rapid succession to the Orphnoch. Despite the Orphnoch was fast enough to keep up with Neptune, the girl managed to find several openings before slashing the Orphnoch relentlessly using her katana in rapid succession. The Orphnoch took a step back to catch a little breath. However, Neptune didn't waste time to leap in the air before trying to deliver a vertical slash. Unfortunately, the Orphnoch swiftly caught the katana with his right hand before delivering a roundhouse kick to Neptune's waist. Despite this, Neptune managed to recover in nick of time and stabbed the katana to the ground before performing a circling kick while still grabbing her weapon. The Orphnoch didn't expect this and was kicked in the face; but he still managed to recollect himself. Neptune tried to attack the panther monster again but the Orphnoch dodged it easily before stabbing Neptune's stomach. The girl was screaming really loud and the monster only snarled at her. After releasing the stab, the monster smacked the girl's face to his knee multiple times before throwing her aside. The Orphnoch soon leaped again to Neptune in order to maul her.
"Slash Wave!" shouted Nepgear before releasing a purple energy wave from her light saber
The wave soon hit the Orphnoch, injuring him and throwing him back several meters back. Not finished yet, Noire summoned her rapier before charging toward the enemy. She then used her rapier to stab the Orphnoch relentlessly in rapid succession. Despite the monster tried to parry it, Noire's graceful and unorthodox fighting style caught him in surprise. They could only trade blows to their weapon and fist without anyone could land a blow. However, Noire found an opening and performed a heel kick to the Orphnoch's stomach, throwing him to the sky. Noire soon leaped to the sky before trying to perform a slash with her rapier. However, the Orphnoch was smart enough to recover in the air and used his legs to kick Noire to the ground. Despite falling to the ground, Noire is strong enough to recompose herself. Both CPU and the Candidate were soon rushed to Neptune's side while preparing their weapons.
"Onee-chan! Are you alright!?" asked Nepgear worried while bringing up her sister
"Yeah…. Thanks, Jr. …" said Neptune weakly
"We need to retreat now! We can't beat this guy!" warned Noire
However, the Panther Orphnoch suddenly punched Noire's stomach out of blues; surprising the girls. Not long after that, the Orphnoch grabbed the girl's neck while trying to choke air out of her. Noire tried to struggle by using her rapier but she was easily disarmed in her state.
"Noirey!"
"Noire-san! Mirage Da…"Before Nepgear could perform another move, the Orphnoch elongated his free fingers and guided it to stab Nepgear.
"Watchout, Jr.!" said Neptune while pushing away Nepgear. However, this made Neptune too late to dodge the tentacle fingers and she was stabbed in her left hand.
"Kyyyyyaaaaaaa!" screamed Neptune
"Onee-chan!" shouted Nepgear in horror while rushing to her sister's side
Unfortunately, the Orphnoch threw Noire in the air before kicking the falling girl with his legs; throwing the Noire straight to Nepgear. The lilac-haired girl was too late to notice this and she was hit by Noire's body in full impact. The two collided with each other and they fell to the ground while skidding in the ground. The three girls were now struggling to stand up but their injuries prevented them from doing this. Even Nepgear and Noire were taken out of commission due to the collision. The Orphnoch was even laughing a little before slowly marching toward the three girls; preparing to maul his preys. However, before the Orphnoch could act any further, he noticed a jeep was heading straight toward him. In the nick of time, the panther monster soon dodged it in nick of time. After the jeep was stopped, Yuuji and Histoire came out from it.
"Everyone, are you alright!?" asked Yuuji worried while rushing to their side
"Yuu-kun…" said Neptune weakly
"Nep-chan, are you alright?" said Yuuji while checking Neptune's condition
"Uuugghhh…. I'm fine…. Just a bit dizzy….."
"It's bad, Kiba-san. Their conditions are not prime enough to fight. If it goes like this….."
"Don't worry, Histy… I could still fight… Yuu-kun…. Please, bring the others to safety….."
"But, what about you, Nep-chan!? You're injured, right? You need to go with us!"
"Me? Hehe, I'm not injured….. I could still fight!" said Neptune before shrugging off Yuuji and standing up despite her previous injuries
"What are you doing, Nep-chan?" asked Yuuji curious
"Well… Just going to show you the true 'me'." Said Neptune before closing her eyes
(Play: Rave:tech (^_^) new;world by nao)
Neptune then focused her mind and power to her body. Soon, Neptune's body was surrounded with dark purple energy. After focusing enough energy, Neptune opened her eyes. Suddenly, Neptune's body was covered in a bright light that even Yuuji and Histoire needed to cover their eyes. Her hair was also covered in the same light before Neptune's hair was somewhat lengthened to almost reach her feet. Her body also became a bit higher than before and her body shape changed too. After the light lit down, Yuuji finally could see Neptune's new form. Neptune now has long purple hair in twin tails that almost reaches her feet and bright blue eyes with white pupils in the shape of power signs. She wears black hair clips with glowing blue D-Pad shapes on them, and a black body suit that exposes her assets….. Heck! Neptune's bust somewhat enlarged a bit. The bodysuit's shoulders contain a white outlined D-pad symbol and the arm has purple along the sides while the front of the bodysuit also has purple areas near the bottom. On her assets areas you can see a single purple strip. Lastly, Neptune's leg-wear seems as though it is the same as her previous form; albeit, it appears as black boots with purple tips instead. This Neptune's katana was also longer and more mechanic than the previous Neptune's which only a streamlined katana was. This is Neptune's CPU and true form, Purple Heart. Meanwhile, Yuuji was shocked to death to see Neptune's drastic growth and change. Not only that, she became more like woman; her height, eyes, and…..even her assets were changed too. In addition to that, Purple Heart's attractive bodysuit somewhat makes her even hotter. Yuuji now blushed really hard after seeing Purple Heart's attractive and sexual arousing body. He might be a nice person but it would be a lie if Yuuji doesn't say that his urge as man didn't come.
(Song ended)
"Now….. It's much better." Said Purple Heart in a deeper and mature voice than Neptune
"Wha, wha, what!? What happened to you, Nep-chan!? Why you suddenly become more mature, higher and so different than before!?" asked Yuuji shocked while trying to hide his blushing cheeks
"Ara, you don't know about it, Yuu-kun? This is my true CPU form, the HDD form. But, it's understandable since you may forget about any CPU's information. And, don't call me "Nep-chan". I'm the CPU of Planeptune, Purple Heart." said Purple Heart proudly while stabbing her katana to the ground. Purple Heart is so different than Neptune. Not only the drastic body change, Purple Heart is more mature, calm, less joking, more serious and a bit prideful than the original Neptune. Even her height rivaled Yuuji's own height.
"Yes, Kiba-san. This is the true form of CPU that I was talking about back then. I also said that their personality and body shape changed, right?" Said Histoire
"But, Histoire-san, you didn't say that they will change so drastically like this!" complained Yuuji a bit. It's true that he heard that the CPU will change appearance but he didn't expect for Neptune changed drastically from the happy-go-lucky little girl to the combat suit serious woman. There were too much questions in his head right now and he doesn't know what he should do now after seeing Neptune's true form.
"Anyway, Yuu-kun, please bring this briefcase to the Basilicom, along with Nepgear and Noire." Said Purple Heart before throwing the Smart Brain briefcase to Yuuji. The impact of the throw almost made Yuuji lost his balance. The disrespect manner of throwing surely is so different than Neptune.
"But, what about you?" asked Yuuji worried
"I will stay here and buy you some times. Just go away now!" said Purple Heart while preparing her katana
"That's crazy, Nep…. I mean, Purple Heart-san! How could we just leave you here while you're dealing with an enemy that you have little chance to win!? We must go back together! You won't win at this point!" said Yuuji
"What are you talking about, Yuu-kun? Don't underestimate my ability! I'm still strong enough to take down that cat monster. Just go away and don't disturb me now!"
"What do you mean by saying you are strong enough!? Look at your hand, your stomach and your face! They are full with injuries, Purple Heart-san! You think that you can win in this situation!? It's impossible to fight in this condition!" True that despite Neptune changed to her HDD form; her previous injuries are still followed to her new form. Her stomach and hand are still bleeding non-stop.
"Don't think so weakly about me! These injuries are only just a scratch to me! Don't be so stubborn here, Yuu-kun! Remember your position here; you're only a normal human here! You don't have any right to dictate a CPU like me!"
"You're the stubborn one here, Purple Heart-san! You won't win; it's impossible! Don't be stubborn; you don't have to fight in a battle which you can't win!"
"Sorry, Yuu-kun…. I'm the CPU of Planeptune. This is my mission and responsibility to stop that monster from hurting any more of my people and the other nations' people."
"Fuck off that responsibility, Purple Heart-san! Don't think any more about that mission or what! If you get killed, will you be able to protect your people? Your safety is the priority now!"
"So what!? What are you going to do!? You don't have any power to stand a chance against that monster!"
"I will buy you some time while you and the others go away from here!"
"That's crazy, Yuu-kun! You will kill yourself if you do that!"
"But, that's your plan too, right!? Even if I'm just a normal human, I won't let such an important girl like you to die! You're the CPU of Planeptune, right!? So, what would happen to it if you die!? It would be better if a person like me to….."
Before Yuuji could finish, he got a swift slap from Purple Heart right in his cheek. If one could see, a cold tear fell from Purple Heart's blue eyes. However, to Yuuji's surprise, Purple Heart instantly hugged him tightly. Of course this turn of event embarrassed Yuuji even more. His cheeks were even redder than before. Even Histoire couldn't help but to cover her mouth which was gasping really wide.
"Pu, Pur, Purp, Purple Heart-san, wh, wha, what are you doing!?" asked Yuuji while blushing really hard
"SILENCE!" shouted Purple Heart, silencing Yuuji for a while
"Purple Heart-san…"
"Don't say anything like throwing away your own life! Yuu-kun….. For me, every residents, every people in Planeptune are my family….. So…. Please, don't throw away your life like this….. Yuu-kun… Despite we only met for a day, you have done so many good things to me, to Nepgear, to Histoire…. And should I just throw away my friend's life like this!? Should I!?" said Purple Heart while letting some of her tears fell from her eyes. Histoire was even surprised to see Purple Heart was broken like this. It's not usual for the serious CPU to express her feelings like this. She felt that Purple Heart did this because deep inside, the CPU is also doubted herself whether she could win or not. However, Histoire felt a bit jolt in her chest that made her wanted to clutch her chest. She didn't know why this happen but her heart is a bit pain after seeing Yuuji was hugged by Purple Heart.
"Yuu-kun…. It's a bit embarrassing but….. I don't want to lose my friend…" said Purple Heart with red cheeks while releasing her hug
"Purple Heart-san…."
"Look, Yuu-kun…. You could feel my heartbeat, right?" said Purple Heart while grabbing Yuuji's hand before placing it to her chest. Yuuji was a bit surprised at first because his hand almost touched the purple haired girl's assets. To make it worse, her chest area was quite exposed that made Yuuji was even more embarrassed. However, he embraced himself to hold his composure as best as he can.
"Yuu-kun… Feel my heartbeat. If I said that I will win, I will win! If I said so, then do so! You could trust my heart in this case."
"But, it's a different case! Purple Heart-san, we should…" But, Yuuji was interrupted again by Purple Heart's finger which touched Yuuji's lip to silence him
"Do you…..trust me, Yuu-kun?"
"Yes….."
"Then, go away from here!" said Purple Heart before punching Yuuji's stomach really hard
"Ugh… Neptune-chan…." Said Yuuji before falling unconscious
"Histoire….. Please, teleport Yuu-kun, Nepgear and Noire to Planeptune's Basilicom." Ordered Neptune
"But, Neptune, what about you?"
"Yuu-kun and the others' safety is the priority now! Just do it!"
Reluctantly, Histoire chanted several magical words from her mouth. Not long after that, Histoire summoned a small rainbow ball out of the thin air. However, the ball grew larger and larger that it slowly consumed Yuuji, Noire and Nepgear.
"Neptune, you could still change your mind. Please, come with us. You will only worry Kiba-san even more."
"Don't worry, Histoire. I will be alright. And, when Yuu-kun wakes up, tell him that we will eat pudding together." Said Purple Heart before winking her right eye
Seeing this, Histoire reluctantly entered the rainbow ball. Soon, the rainbow ball consumed Yuuji and the others. Not long after the ball consumed the people in it, it vanished into the thin air; leaving nothing to its sight. After seeing this, Purple Heart made a long sigh before focusing her sight to the slowly marching toward the purple CPU. The CPU soon readied her weapon before glaring at the Orphnoch in front of her.
"Well, you should be lucky to fight me, the CPU of Planeptune. Now, behold the power of CPU!" said Purple Heart before charging toward the Orphnoch
Soon, lasers projectile are shot from the top of the screen, waving, and after a faster move to the each opposite side. Then a border comes out with an abstract colorful background.
(Play: Life Goes On by Mica Arisaka)
The screen shows several clips from the Kamen Rider 555 concerning about Yuuji's life time; ranging from his first death, killing his former girlfriend, meeting Kaido and Yuka, screaming in the rain, happily talking to Mari and Takumi, crying over Yuka's death, watching over Kusaka's corpse, and holding the Arc Orphnoch. Every scene here uses a gray color screen effect. However, soon the screen quickly shows Yuuji's eyes which soon zooms out to see his whole figure. Yuuji is sitting beside a tree in a park in Planeptune; watching the blue sky. Not long after that, he closed his eyes before drifting to sleep.
(Namida de nijinda kono sora wo miageru tabi)
Histoire soon comes to the screen while hovering in the air. She is searching for someone but she doesn't find that person. She soon flies away from the screen; completely ignoring. The screen then shows Yuuji and Histoire's greatest moment: Histoire is watching Yuuji cooks dinner for them with Neptune, Nepgear and Yuki wait for them.
(Hakanai aosa ga mune wo shimedzuketeku)
Nepgear and Uni soon met in the park, but they also ignored the sleeping Yuuji. They are playing a bit in the park before Uni tries to give Nepgear a chocolate. However, she didn't do it because she was too embarrassed. Nepgear then pulled Uni's hand before dragging her off the screen.
(Sadame nara kanashimi no hate made)
Noire soon enters the screen but she is chased by Yuichi who is carrying a big love chocolate and bouquet of flower. They are running around Yuuji in circle several times before leaving the screen.
(Tatakaitsudzuketa hibi wo ato ni)
The sky soon turns red; indicating it's already dusk. Rom and Ram soon enters the screen along with Blanc who is reading a book. The twin sister plays a little bit until Ram accidentally throws a mud to Blanc's face. This made Blanc's face blackened with red eyes. Her sisters soon run for their life with Blanc giving a chase.

The sky soon darkened; indicating it's already night. Yuki enters the screen before shouting a name. However, she doesn't see anyone there. She soon cries really hard before sulking away from the screen.
(Shinjitsu no jibun sae miushinaisou soredemo)
Compa is the next one to enter the screen while carrying her big syringe. She also tries to search someone but she doesn't find the person that she searches for. She then walks out from the screen.
(Life Goes On mamoritakute)
Yuka then enters the screen next. She soon sees the sleeping Yuuji before approaching him. She soon ducked to the ground before slowly kissing Yuuji's lip. After this, she soon leaves the screen.
(Kokoro wa kudakarete)
The sky turns to blue again; indicating its noon again. However, in place of the sleeping Yuuji, there is a pile of gray dust instead. Not only that, Purple Heart, in casual clothes, is standing in front of the tree before slowly approaching the tree.
(Hontou no kanashimi wo shitta hitomi wa)
Purple Heart is rocking herself while crying really hard. She even took a small amount of the dust before clenching it in her chest. She continues to cry even harder.
(Ai ni afurete)
However, the sunlight hits Purple Heart's head, making the girl looks above the bright blue sky. She then wipes her tears before smiling a little bit. Lastly, she said something to express her feelings.
"Yuu-kun…" said Purple Heart
"EYES GLAZING OVER TO THE NEXT FAIZ!"
"Kiba-san!" shouted Histoire before seeing Yuuji ran away from the Basilicom
"I won't give up!" said Purple Heart before continuing her duel with Panther Orphnoch
Yuuji then met an old man with black clothes and white hair.
"Who are you?" asked Yuuji
"I'm Hanagata. Say, Kiba Yuuji, what's your reason to fight?"
Meanwhile, Purple Heart was brutally violated by not only the Panther Orphnoch, but also the Turtle Orphnoch. She was stabbed, she was stomped and she was beaten inhumanly.
"What's the reason for you to live?"
Purple Heart was being mauled by the Panther Orphnoch while the Turtle Orphnoch was torturing the CPU.
"I…. I live for Neptune-chan!" said Yuuji while running toward the Orphnochs
"YUU-KUN!"
COMPLETE!
Kamen Rider Faiz Berserk Drive is standing with glowing body in the middle of dark night.
Nu? Is that the end? Of course not! We are just at the beginning! Anyway, how is it my latest work? Thank you for reading this fic and any support from your guys. What will happen to Purple Heart? Will she win or not? Find out in the next chapter. Don't forget to R&R. I'm open to any reviews, PMs, critics or any other responds. Anyway, for those who is wondering who will voice Yuuji, well in this fic, his voice actor in Japan is Kenji Nojima. That's all I could say.
