There was darkness. After a few minutes Neptune woke up. She did not know where she was, or how she got here. As she tried to remember how she got in this darkness, things got blurry. ''Really? Amnesia again? This was already done in re;birth 1. Way to start off original, author.''
I am just starting this story and already you broke the fourth wall. I was about to let a light appear, but screw it. I'm not lighting up this area now.
''This isn't fair at all!'' cried Neptune in disbelief. ''We barely started and you already let the story hit a dead end. All because I broke the fourth wall!? I'm not sure I want to be part of a story with such a questionable start. I think I will go to sleep.''
Wait! Do not go to sleep. I just wanted a normal start without fourth wall breaking antics. Clearly this is not possible. How do you suggest we start off this story then, Neptune?
''Let's ditch this amnesia thing. It's unoriginal, and I doubt the reader would wanna read over two chapters about their favorite main character getting her memory back. How is this a normal start? We started somewhere in the middle with no explanation. And why am I all alone? I know I'm a great main character and all, but at least give me someone to work with for the beginning. You could have used me and Noire or something along the lines.''
Let me just stop you right there. I just had some ideas and started writing this story, and already it is proving itself not easy to write, so please cut me some slack. I'm going to remove the amnesia thing and add some lights.
As her amnesia disappeared and the lights turned on, Neptune's eyes went wide upon noticing her surroundings. She found herself standing in the middle of a strange field. She was facing a podium that was 15 times her size, and behind it was her pseudo-daughter, Peashy, with something attached to her arm. Looking closer, she could see this was a ''duel disk''. Neptune remembers seeing these ''duel disks'' from when the Ultra Dimension Guild agent, IF, as well as her fellow CPU and ally, Vert, used them long ago in some form of card game. That same duel disk is now being used by Peashy.
''How can she even hold the duel disk with these cat paw gloves. Looks weird.'' wondered Neptune. ''Not that it really matters.''
Neptune turned around and behind her was the same podium, except standing behind it this time was her other best friend, who is also from the Ultra Dimension, Plutia. She was looking as sleepy-eyed as ever and nearly dropped her duel disk.
Both Peashy and Plutia faced each other from their podiums, and from where Neptune was standing, she could see a number displayed on each one. Looking closer, she saw the number "4000".
''Wait, wait, wait. How are Plutie and P-ko that big? Why am I in this strange field? Why am I so small?'' As she asked herself these questions, there was one thing she immediately thought. ''I get it. I'm dreaming, aren't I? Yeah. I must've had a pudding laced with eggplants and I'm just having a crazy dream. I just need to pinch myself in the cheek and I'll be back in the Basilicom.''
Neptune closed her eyes and pinched herself in the cheek.
''Ow! Ok, maybe that was a little too hard. Well, whatever. Once I open my eyes, I should be back home.''
As she opened her eyes slowly, she found herself still on this strange field.
Neptune is beginning to realize where she is, but her mind is not letting her register this as reality. "I'm still here!? Why am I not in my room!? I can't really be where I think I am…right?"
And then she looks down to see attack and defense numbers displayed. Because the author is lazy and did not think this through at all, there won't be numbers displayed yet.
Neptune finally realized it. She was in a Nep-Tu-Nia game, and she-
"Really, author? That's the best name you could come up with for this?"
Shut up. You wanna try thinking of a name? Be my guest. *Ahem* She was in a Nep-Tu-Nia game, and she was somehow turned into a monster card.
- Plutia's Perspective -
With a "Let's Duel!" from each side, the two CPUs began their match. Peashy took the first turn and started off by playing a monster in Defense Position before ending her turn.
''Hmm….what to do…'' Plutia thought to herself as she looked at the cards in her hand. Not seeing any big moves she could perform on her turn, she decided to try and get rid of whatever Peashy had on her field.
"Ok. Here I gooooo! I play Main Character, Neppy in Attack Mode!" With those words, she summoned the CPU of Planeptune to take the field.
"Let's see what you played, Peashy. Attack that card, Neppy!"
- Neptune's Perspective -
Before Neptune was able to comment on the author not giving her Attack and Defense points, she heard Plutia call out to her. "Let's see what you played, Peashy. Attack that card, Neppy!"
''Wait, what!?'' Suddenly, Neptune found herself charging forward to attack the face-down enemy on Peashy's side of the field. As soon as she started moving, uneasiness began to well up within her. Reaching the face-down card, her uneasiness started to increase as she was ready to strike whatever was under the card.
''Well, I guess it's do-or-die time.'' Neptune said to herself before bringing her katana down. As Neptune struck the card, she thought to herself: ''Why'd I have to go and find that weird item? Why couldn't we just have a normal story?'' Suddenly, she heard a flamboyant, effeminate laugh ring out from the background.
AN: So this is my first attempt at a fanfiction ever. Hope you enjoyed reading this. It is quite difficult to think of a story. As for the reason reason that neptunia does not have attack and defense point yet is, because I wanted to finish this chapter first and will give her points later on.
