(A/N: Hi guys. So, I kinda skimped out on Hyperdimension Z Gundam for a while because basically, I ran out of motivation. Its hard to emulate the battle scenes, and some people say its too "cheesy". Too generic. I also get criticism for using too much cliché dialogues and such. I'm sorry. I'm only a beginner. I have imagination. Its just hard for me to interpret them and turn them into something new like fictions and stuff, okay?

So, I began this alternate timeline where no major war is going on. Basically a seemingly peaceful world. For Raiken and the other characters to develop friendships and romance. Arcs are also alternate timelines for each girl (with some exceptions…). Its kinda easier for me. So, hope you enjoy and have a nice day.)

RaiXGear Chapter 1

[Raiken's P.O.V.]

It was 7:30AM in the morning. The sun shone through my window, forcing me to cover my face under the sheets. I then awaken to the sound of my phone alarm. I then groggily sat up and looked around to where my phone was.

It was one of those limited alarm clock apps you can use to wake you up with cute phrases like "Onii-chan, wake up, time to start the day" or some shit. It blared throughout the room like crazy, forcing me to get up and discontinue my "extra 10 minutes" of sleep. I then rubbed my eyes as I stared out the window, looking at the bright day before me. Honestly, it was a good day to go outside and meet with friends today.

I got up, dressed up, and went downstairs. My house is a little bit on the elite side of things, I might say. Not that I brag of it. It's not really a measure of how cool I am. It's a nice big 3-story house with a big backyard, and some ornamental design features to it. I have to say, I couldn't have bought this big place if I wasn't a hard worker.

As I go down the last flight of stairs, I was greeted by my sweet older sister, Naomi, patiently waiting for me at the dining table like usual. "Good morning, little brother." she smiled.

"Mornin' Nee-san." I rubbed my eyes more to clear my vision further. "What's cooking?" I asked.

"Your usual." and there it was, settled before me, a delicious omelette and some bacon and hashbrowns. I couldn't ask for more.

"You better hurry up, little bro. Or your superiors are gonna force you some lame workout sessions with the rookies." she reminded me as if she was my mother, frowning a bit with concern. "Sorry. I will. Anyway, thanks for the meal as always…" and I finally dug in.

I work at the military. More specifically, the Federation. It's a multi-national military organization at Planet Earth, Gamindustri's neighboring planet. I'm working as a commander and a strategist. I am also the youngest of them all, considering I'm just 21. Whenever trouble arises, be it at Earth or Gamindustri itself, I'm called upon to the battlefield to settle the issues ahead. Terrorism, assaults from rogue groups and other contingencies against us are just another day at the office.

But nowadays, most of the time, I work at an office desk at the edge of the city in Planeptune. Just signing papers, listening to announcements, attending strategy and daily meetings, it's pretty much a routine. I'm pretty much bored of it sometimes.

After breakfast, I then went up and took a bath, then go dress up in my commander's uniform. It's a black variant, considering I'm part of the elite group. Wore all my badges, and anything a proper commander should wear. I then stared at the mirror, at myself. I pretty much frowned and told myself "You can do this. It's your duty. Mom and Dad are watching over you. Don't disappoint them."

A knock on my door. It was my sister again. "Raiken, dear. Are you ready? Its nearly 8 AM."

"Yeah, sis. I'm ready." I then opened the door, as she greeted me with a gentle smile.

"As always, you're looking great. I hope you have a good day at work, honey." Geez, I'm not a little kid anymore…

She led me to the gate of my house lightly, as I turned to her. "I don't know if some new people are gonna be meeting me, but I'm sure I'll only take half-time for today."

"Of course. Take care." as I waved back at her while walking away.

I have a car, but it's outta gas. Yeah. But, I usually just take a walk to see the city fully, and watch the people who I pass by doing their daily activities.

Kids playing, adults chatting, teens gossiping. Its peaceful here in Planeptune. I hear the CPU is just as casual as the people, or maybe even beyond casual…

As I began to turn right at the next intersection, someone bumped into me.

"Kyah!" as she fell on her bum onto the floor, dropping her groceries.

I immediately gasped and got down to help her.

"I-I'm so sorry, miss. Are you alright?" I then made out with my own eyes who the person in question was.

"I-I'm sorry…I wasn't watching where I'm going and—"

And that's all I remembered hearing from her as the rest of her words couldn't reach me as I gaze upon the face of the person, flustered and bowing her head in apology.

That light-purple, almost lilac hair, that trademark D-Pad hairclip on her head, her sailor uniform-like outfit, and her face that glows with both innocence and dignity. There's no doubt about it.

It was Planeptune's CPU Candidate, Nepgear. Sister to the CPU of this nation, Neptune. I immediately bowed apologetically as well after realizing.

"No, no…I'm the one who should be blamed. I'm so sorry, Lady Nepgear…"

"I-Its fine, really. I'm just really clumsy sometimes." Trust me, what she said is just an understatement.

"Your groceries…" I picked the contents that were thrown out of the bag and returned them gently into the bag. "Here, my Lady. Please." I bowed again.

The innocent lilac-colored lady smiled at me with a blush as she took the bag from my hands. "Thank you, sir…"

And suddenly…her eyes suddenly widened as she took a good look at me.

"Wait a minute, aren't you that famous artist in the hobby magazines and that Neptuber and Youtuber who shows off his models and robotic machine and reviews them?!" Whoa, calm your tits, girl. That surprised the heck out of me.

"U-Uhh…y-yes. I'm TsutsumiChronicles001. Raiken. I-It's an honor to meet you, Lady Nepgear." I smiled awkwardly.

"Yes! I finally got a chance to meet you! Gosh…Oh, I'm sorry if I got too excited…" She bowed again, smiling.

"It's okay. Its natural." I shook her hand gently, giving her a warm expression.

"W-What brings you here, Raiken?" she asked.

"I'm heading to work. I'm only working half-day today. I don't know what I'll be doing next. I still have my backlogs waiting to be finished, but that will be saved for another day."

"I-I see…uhm…" she began to blush "C-Can I be your friend, Raiken?" she bowed lower.

"Of course. I've been wanting to meet a prominent person like you as well." I nodded, making her smile in glee.

"Thank you! Can we exchange numbers and emails? O-Oh, and I'm new to this site called Facebook. Similar to Nepbook, but from Earth, right?"

"Yeah. Just like ours. And sure, I don't mind." and then I exchanged my contact details. Then I looked at my clock.

"Oh. 8 frickin' 30. I'll nearly be late…" I gritted my teeth a bit.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry for delaying you. I-I have to return back to the Basilicom now. Thanks for today…uhm…S-See you later!" And off she goes, flustered, running with her groceries in hand.

Wait a minute…she dropped something on the ground. It was a rare type of RAM to be installed into a computer or something. I picked it up, then tried to pursue her, but she was already too far away. Bummer.

"…Oh dear. Well, I'll keep this safe with me for a while. I'll try to contact her again later." And then I walked my way to work.

That fateful encounter started everything between me and the beautiful purple Goddess Candidate…
