Flying Goddess

The sound of boots stepping off metal steps fills my ears.

Another day of the same old routine, yet it felt very different.

"*Sigh*"I left out a huff of air as I unbutton my coat and hang it over my shoulder while I carry my backpack."Scratch another day down..."

My name is Mike Seras and I am a senior student at a high school in the US. I was born in Seville, Spain, but my father was a natural born citizen of the US. My life isn't as different as anyone else my age, the only things I can really pride myself above all else is my intelligence and my avid imagination.

I had moved back to the US during summer vacation to finish my high school studies and get into a good tech university. Little happened during the last year, no troubles, no real important things to talk about.

The weather today's pretty odd, while I normally deal with several feet of snow, occasionally reaching five feet, I'm now dealing with avoiding a heatstroke as I walk home.

I look at the sky and feel a little dread as I see black storm clouds forming above me.

"Well that's just great."I say"First this heatwave and now a storm. Who says now that climate change doesn't exist?"

A loud thunderclap roars above me, scaring the living daylights out of me. It's not long after that I hear something odd from above me

"Watch out! Watch out! Watch out! I'm falling!" I hear a voice yell"Aaaaa!"

Before I'm knocked out, I catch a glimpse of a slim figure hurtling itself towards me from above.

I'm not sure how long I'm out cold for.

"Hey are you alright?"I hear the voice call out from within the dark mist of my mind as I feel the world around shake around me"Wake up!"

After a few minutes, I slowly open my eyes

"I-I think so..."I respond, groggier than I had ever been."Man what hit me…?"

Out of the corner of my eye I spot a purple colored braid, rustling in the wind. That braid style… it seems familiar…

"*Fidget Fidget*"I hear the rustling of metal, pencils and books."Oh crap, now everything's spilled out the backpack!"

I force myself into a sitting position and turn my head in the direction of the sound.

"…."My jaw drops as I see the tall figure sitting on its knees, it's back facing towards me and it's long purple braids lightly pushed by the wind"...no way….it can't be…"

The figure freezes in place, a visible drop of sweat forms at the back her head, as if realizing that she had been caught red-handed.

"A-a-are you awake?" She asks with her mature female voice."I-I-m sorry that I landed on you."

The figure slowly turns around, her bright blue eyes look at me as if gazing through my very soul.

"P...Pur…"I stutter not believing my own eyes."Purple Heart...no way..."

She looks at me confused for a second before a warm smile takes its place.

"Yes I am Purple Heart, Goddess of Planeptune."Her voice softly fills my ears as her curiously odd pupils feel like them stare to my very soul."I'm looking for a guy called…."

She begins to say before her body begins to shrink in less time than the blink of an eye,

"Well shoot, there goes my HDD..."I hear an oddly familiar voice say.

I rub my eyes and now even more surprisingly, Neptune is sitting across from me, a sour expression covering her face.

"N-neptune?!"I mumble, completely shocked.

A videogame character. In bone and flesh, sitting infront of me, fresh from reverting from her Hard Drive Divinity.

"Huh…?"She looks at me and a expression of pure surprise fills it."No way..."

A piece of paper appears out of nowhere in her hand, looking at it first then at me several times.

"Are you by any chance….?"She says in a almost quiet voice."...Mike Seras?"

I find myself quite surprised to hear this.

"Y-Yeah."I nod slowly, confused.

A broad grin crosses her face and she stands up.

"Perfect!"Neptune says cheerfully" I've come looking for you. It's my mission."

"Which is….?"I ask, trying to find out what she means.

She looks around and starts whispering.

"Not here, can we go to your place and talk?"She asks almost silently."It's nearby isn't it?"

"How did you…?"I begin to ask before she cuts me off.

"I have my ways, now let's go."She says as she shoves my backpack into my hands and pushes me towards my house.

A rather rude and strange way to meet someone.

Mike….

My heart nearly jumps out of my chest.

That voice...again...?

I haven't heard it since…..
