A/N: Oh this story? Well, I guess you could call it... an experiment. Yes, an experiment to see what I get away with... Heheheh.
Well without further ado, we present to you:
The FullIron Chemist!
Characters: Neptune, Nepgear
Genre: Tragedy, Supernatural
Date Published: 5/20/2015
The day had started off well enough... but how exactly did Neptune's arm and leg get replaced with metal prosthetics?
"Yo, Nep Jr.? You here somewhere?"
"Sis, I'm over here! But..." Well it seems like Gear's voice is filled with nervousness and a bit of hesitation.
"Hang on, I'm on my way." And so she was.
"Wait sis don-"
"Whoa!" Upon following the source of her little sisters voice, Neptune discovered that it was coming out of a walking suit of armor wearing a sailor's uniform... for some reason. "Jr., is that you?"
"Please don't look at me, this is so..." Gear was desperate to hide herself, she wasn't sure what was going on, however those thoughts were put on hold when she saw her sisters arm. "Sis, what happened to your arm?!" Panic and worry began to set in upon seeing her older sisters new "arm" and the younger of the two sisters ran over to make sure her sister was okay.
"Oh come on Jr., Don't tell me you forgot?" The older of the two simply looked at her sister as if she was a bit cooky, how could she forget about something like the day Nep got her new arm?
"Forgot what..? Sis what are you talking about? I..." It took a moment but it looked like Gear really was beginning to remember something... yes... yes now she remembered. How they tried to bring their mother back to life. How Neptune gave up her arm to bring back her soul. And she remembered their journey to recover their bodies back to the way they once were. "I... I remember... but it feels so... weird." As her memories were finally restored Gear felt like the world was finally making more sense... yes... they were chemists and they had something they needed to do.
As she thought about it, Gear realized that they needed to pay someone a visit, a fellow chemist who was doing research into how to create a chimera. As the pieces were put back together in her mind the city around her felt like it had regained all its color and she could take in all the surroundings.
The two were standing in a rather lively city, with automobiles driving by and the sounds of a train horn reverbarating in the air. A city that was prospering thanks to the work of the state chemists.
"Well, if you got it then let's go, we gotta go see that dude with the dog and the little girlie again. If were late she's gonna get all mad again." As usual hearing the voice of her older sister was enough to bring Gear back down to reality and get her to calm down.
"Y-yeah, you're right. We should get going then."
And so the two, finally back to their senses, began the trek to the chimera reasercher's humble abode. On the way there however it began raining rather viciously. Faced with the intense rain the two sisters caught the attention of a taxi so they could continue with their visit.
...Something seems off about this story... Oh well, I don't get paid to ask questions, I get paid to read so on with the show.
Finally, after a rather lengthy ride, the two were finally at their destination. The two were quite eager to get inside and get out of the rain.
But... something felt a bit off. As soon as they stepped inside they noticed that the lights were off. Maybe the power had gone out? Nep and Gear certainly hoped so. As the two headed for the study room, which is where the doc spends most of his time anyway, they could swear they heard a very distorted voice. With concern filling them from head to toe they hastened their pace until they reached the origin of the voice. As they slowly opened the door, the two were left speechless with what they saw.
"I've finally done it girls." The doc was leaning over a rather canine esque creature, it had a large brown mane with hair drooping over its face. And in the darkness of the room its eyes seemed to glow. "A chimera that can understand human speech." The doc's voice was quiet, as if he himself still couldn't believe he had done it.
"Goodness, that's great news." Said Gear as the two walked over to the doc, very slowly as to not spook the chimera. The doc, meanwhile turned to speak to the dog-like creature.
"Look, this is Neptune a state chemist."
"Nep...tune..." The creature spoke with that same distorted voice the two sisters had heard a few seconds ago. Though... something about it seemed... familiar in a way. "Nep...tune... Big sis... Neptune..."
Neptune let out a small gasp as the creature's words sank in. "Say doc, when did you renew you liscence again?"
"About two years ago."
"And when was it that your wife left you?"
"That was also two years ago."
"Okay, then I just have one last question for ya." Neptune's hands were shaking, she looked like she might blow up any minute. "Where's your kid and dog?!"
"...You figured that out quick you little runt." Gear let out a gasp as her sister charged the doc and pinned him against the wall with one arm.
"You're damn right I did! So you actually did it! You used your daughter and dog to create a talking chimera!" Gear gasped and looked over at the creature, now fully understanding of the situation.
"Well what's wrong with that?! You're a scientist too, you should understand it-"
"Shut up! Shut UP!" It was taking a lot out of Neptune not to kill this man right here and now, but she somehow held herself back. But that didn't mean she'd ease up her arm. "You're not supposed to toy with human lives."
"Oh really? Look at your arm and leg! Your sister! It happened because you toyed with human life too! You're just like me!"
"NO!" SMACK "WE!" SMACK "ALL CHEMISTS!" SMACK "WE'RE NOT LIKE THAT!" Before Neptune could go any further Gear held back the enraged girl's fist.
"Stop it sis, any more and he'll die!" Neptune was on the verge of tears, but froze with the feeling of eyes on her.
"Da...ddy... Daddy... Does it... hurt? Daddy..." All was still, Neptune let go of the doc and let him fall to the floor. The crazed man simply sat while holding his pocket golden watch, the mark of a state chemist. Gear meanwhile tried her best to talk to the young child turned chimera.
"I'm sorry, I don't know if we can turn you back as we are now." She rubbed the child's head, but when it spoke, it made Gear feel like her heart was breaking.
"Let's... play ...Let's play..."
"With this I can still be a state chemist, heheh." The madman was unhinged, cradling his pocket watch while Neptune looked on in disgust until she kicked it out of his hands and the man hurriedly scrounged towards it.
"Like hell you will! You'll never be a state chemist again!" Neptune was enraged, more so than ever before in her life. It took everything she had and more not to kill the man in front of her, but she knew better, she didn't want to sink to his level. "DAMN IT!"

"Well that went a lot better than I expected."
Wait... Blanc?
"Yes, that's me."
Wait you can hear me? What are you doing here?
"Oh don't worry, we're not here to steal your spotlight."
We?
"She means us."
IF? MAGES.? Why are you all here? What's going on? What did you mean by "that went a lot better than I expected"?
"Oh that, you see I'm trying something out."
And you think the author's just gonna let you do this?
"Oh silly narrator, the CPU standing before you is the author."
What? What are you talking about MAGES.?
"Allow me to explain, this is my story after all. You see a few days ago I had a very strange dream. The next morning I woke up and I soon found out that whatever I wrote came true. So I thought to myself "Just what could I do with this power?" After a little chat with IF and MAGES. we decided to... experiment to see just what the three of us could do with this power."
So you're saying that you intentionally put those two through that? What the hell, Blanc? What the actual HELL? You think the author and I are gonna let you get away with this?
"Oh settle down. It's not like we were gonna kill them off, though I am a bit surprised that Gear almost caught on to what was going on. Besides, we already dealt with the author anyway. And it's not like you can do anything to stop us. You're just an extension of the author's subconscious mind anyway, what can you do."
That's... Since when have you been so cruel IF?
"She's right though."
Blanc listen, you're messing with power beyond your control. People aren't meant to be manipulated! Stories can only go so far before they become an entity all on their own. This power, It's corrupting you! It's corrupting all of you!
"Oh come now, the whole world is a stage."
MAGES.!
"And we are merely players."
IF!
"All you need to do now is follow the script laid out before you."
BLANC! NO! I wont! I can't!
"If that's how you wanna play it then fine, we just need to create a new narrator from the authors consciousness. And as for you... well I suppose you'll make for an excellent OC."
You! NO! Get away from- WHOOSH
"Sorry about that."
"It seems as though the narrator is now no more than a mere OC. How tragic."
"I guess now we just have to work on making him an OC then. Hmmmm, but how should they look though...?"
And so the three smiled triumphantly, preparing for their next test.
"Well that was fast, this new narrator sounds a lot more... competent."
A/N: Well I'd say that was a rather successful experiment. Hmmmm...
Author's notes...? No, from here on out these will be called "White's Notes." It has a nice ring to it. But that aside, how did you enjoy my first chapter, you'd better have liked it since IF and MAGES. helped me out with it.
So now here's where you come in dear reader. Leave a review or send me a PM of which anime or video game you would like to see us use for... inspiration in the next chapter. If we don't get too many suggestions we may just have to decide that all on our own. But do make sure to leave a suggestion, It'll give us a great deal of experience in trying new things.
Well there you go, we hope you enjoyed this first chapter. And now for some tragic news.
This story will only be updated once every two weeks due to the nature of the story.
Bye Bye! And make sure to leave a suggestion. We eagerly await them.
