Yeah... New story... Why? I've been reading other stories... I like the ideas so expect a fusion.
Question of the Chapter: Should I make shorter chapters?
I turned on my PS Vita, and was about to play a game of my favorite series. Suddenly a question appeared on my screen. Izimoto Arcoga, do you like Hyperdimension Neptunia? Y/N. I hit yes in an instant, and a soft laugh echoed, to my confusion. If you had a chance to come to the Hyperdimension, would you? Y/N. I hesitated, I loved my world. It was great, but going to Hyperdimension. Freaking Hyperdimension! I hit yes again, and a bright light enveloped me.
Uh... My head... I was like when I got hit in the head with a basketball that one time. I looked around, and found myself just outside... Planeptune! Though everyone was gathering around someplace, and I ran towards the event. I noticed this gauntlet thing spin my left arm, and I stopped to observe it. It had a black and green color scheme, yet had some gray lines which seemed to link to a green hourglass. Did I have the Omnimatrix? I tested it, yet nothing happened.
"Hey! Jackass! How about you hit yourself!" I stared at the gauntlet and it seemed to glow when it spoke. "Don't focus on me! You got some goddesses to listen to!" I looked up to find... Oh momma. Purple Heart sure know how to fill out a dress. Her long purple hair was streaming to the sides of her head in braids and her bright blue eyes with power button pupils seemed to cut through the crowd. My eyes wandered farther down to her large assets and her swaying hips.
"You all know why we are here today." I didn't! I just had this talking gauntlet thing attached to my left arm and I was human. That last part was regular, but I was still confused. "We have all the goddesses of the other lands."
She put her hand out forward, and the gauntlet said, "Okay, stop staring, even though I know how you feel, and gain some altitude." I nodded, and climbed a nearby tree.
"Lastation's CPU, Black Heart." I looked over and my jaw dropped. Watching this on on during the streamed anime was nothing like seeing this for real. Lady Black Heart's dress was somehow even more form fitting than Purple Hearts, and my instincts controlled my eyes, after going down from her long white hair and cyan power button eyes. "Leanbox's CPU, Green Heart."
"You have my permission. Go ahead." The gauntlet said as I gawked at Lady Green Heart and her gigantic melons. They seemed to be bigger than her head! Oh, she had green hair and purple power button eyes.
"Lowee's CPU, White Heart." I stared even more, and though she wasn't as developed as the others, she still was strangely beautiful to me. She had light blue hair and orange power button eyes. "And finally yours truly, Purple Heart." I sat down on the branch I was on, relaxing my muscles, trying the remember the glimpses of the anime I saw. "We are here today to form a friendship treaty for..."
"Hey, you come up here often?" A flirty voice asked, causing me to fall out of the tree. Then a girl appeared next to me with a bright smile on her face. "You come down here often?"
"Okay kid, your first test as a man..." I hit the gauntlet again, and it cursed.
"Okay, I've already developed a liking for you. Master had good choice for the Twilight gauntlet wielder." What... I tried to stand up, but the girl with shoulder length brown hair and bright orange eyes kept me down. 'So many things were flowing through my head. Why was I in Gamindustri? Who was holding me down? How the hell was she strong enough to hold me down? Who was her Master, and why the heck did he choose me? "I can't answer any of those questions, Izi, sorry." She could read my thoughts?! "Yep! So you like Blanc do you?" I nodded, just deciding to play along, and her iron grip on my shoulders turned into a gentle massage. "Ok, you need to get up to that balcony." She turned my head over to a bare balcony, where I supposed the goddesses were going to, as they had vanished. "Your HDG, or Hard Gear Drive will help with that. Oops, my time's up. Bye Izimoto!" She placed a kiss on my cheek and ran off. I looked at my HDG.
"Hey. What's your name?"
"Xemnax. Here are your skills." Xemnax seemed much calmer now, and I checked for any warping or speed skills. I found a 'Dash' command, and made my way to the wall. Everyone was to busy talking, so they didn't notice the wall running teenager reach the balcony. I hung on with one hand, and began to pull myself up. I was able to climb over, but my stamina had taken a blow to stomach, and I had to relax. I hid behind a table when the goddesses arrived as they de transformed. "So, one guy climbs a balcony and four goddesses are there..." I hit Xemnax again, getting a little scared as Vert looked in my direction.
"My, my, what was that voice?" CRAP!
"Look what you did!" I growled to the gauntlet, which snickered.
"Why hello, why are you here and talking to a gauntlet?" Vert was standing over me, and man that cleavage nearly separated from the fact that she could probably kill me with a flick of her hand. Her voice was so calm and innocent, and it made me think of every sweet talking serial killer ever.
"Uh, would you believe me if I said that I know who all of you are, and memorized this world, and some girl's master transported me here, huh Vert?" She flinched just enough that I was able to hop ever the balcony. I don't even know why, I just dipped.
"Blanc! You're the fastest here, capture him!" Well, I had the CPU of Lowee chasing me.
"Hey, uh Xemnax! Any skills that allow flight?" I asked the gauntlet, and he said no. Screw it, I had to use my own skill. "Give me a sword at least." A dark blade appeared in my hands, titled Lights Bane, and when the transformed CPU came at me I hit her flying. Sorry Blanc... I landed on the ground and burst off with 'Dash.'
I wandered around Planeptune for about a month, no food. "How the hell are you living this long?" Xemnax asked as I crunched down another ice cube.
"It's called training to go without real food for long periods of time."
"Well, then you might as well ditch this place and get some food, as those muscles are starting to look less cool." I had been thinning out as a repercussion. I nodded, and cursed. "What?"
"The Basilicom is where the land masses warper is." I howled in annoyance.
"Well then, relax. I can warp is there, and since you have nothing in your stomach to throw up, I won't be disgusted." I felt like every single atom in me was being torn apart at once. I reformed in Lastation, and I looked around. It was just like in the game, except more than one background.
"I was wondering when you were going to get your sorry scared ass over here." I fell over and found a girl with bright yellow eyes and once again shoulder length brown. hair. She was dressed like the other one, except seemed to be older. "So, has Xemnax called you servant at all?"
"Come on girly, I like this kid. He's already strong, like he was preprogrammed or something."
"Well, he is the only Soul gauntlet wielder, so Master must have had a reason for that."
"Ok, you and I guess your sister seem to like to be vague and mysterious and all that crap. Can I at least get your name?"
"Ariel." Wow, nice name. "Thank you." Oh yeah, they could read my minds. "Also, that comment on Vert's cleavage was very manly, pervert." Great, stereotyped by my hormones. This was that kind of story wasn't it. "Times up. Though, I have to warp you to the next place." I was torn apart again, and ended up in a field. Those girls were weird, but I felt like I knew them. Wait were they...
"Uh, don't wriggle there!" Nepgear? I looked up to find a bunch of Doogoos attacking, or assualting Neptune, Nepgear, IF, and Compa.
"Xemnax, I gotta help. Do you have gauntlets, like claw ones?" A second gauntlet appeared on my right hand and Xemnax came with pointed tips now. "Thanks pal!" I used Dash and picked up Nepgear, who opened her eyes to look up at me.
"Wait, are you..."
"Yeah, I was that guy who appeared at the treaty thing. Still just saved you from being inappropriately used for fan service, so don't question." I paced her down and told Uni to keep an eye on her, grabbed Neptune and dropped her off by Noire, who gave me a death stare, and grabbed Compa, and then IF. "Whew, that took up a lot of power..."
"I can speed up your metabolism so you can get energy to fight. Just eat something." Xemnax stated, and I looked at the nearest Doogoo. I removed all non-primal thoughts, and yanked it up and slurped it down.
"Gooey, yet goodness." I turned to the rest of the Doogoos, and according to Xemnax I ate half, and killed the rest. What was my reward you wonder? A longsword to the throat as soon as I turned around.
"Who are you? Why do you wield that gauntlet? Why are you here?" Three in one, hooray. I still had my gauntlets so I grabbed the blade and pushed it aside, causing all the civilians to gasp.
"I can answer one question. I am Izimoto, and the gauntlet is Xemnax."
"Why should I not kill you where you stand?" Black Heart asked, and Uni walked in front of me.
"Sis, he seems kind. I mean, if he was evil, do you think he would have saved the others?" I really wanted to say something smart, probably that the second smartest of the CPUs was too dumb to realize that, but Xemnax shocked me. Uni turned around and gave me a smile. "You looked really cool out there!" She had just saved me from getting skewered so I didn't say that I was really hot everywhere. Uni had seemed to trust me, and Black Heart had lowered her sword. The citizens were whispering, and pointing at me. Wait, I realized something. I never saw a African in these games, or the anime!
"Hello, thank you for saving me. I'm Nepgear." I turned to find the CPU canidite who hugged me.
"First te..." I hit Xemnax again, and Nepgear looked at me strange. "Hey, what's up candidate? I'm Xemnax, the Hard Gear Drive of this scrub. His name is Izimoto by the way."
"I swear, if it wouldn't involve slicing my arm off, I would remove you."
"Hey! Izimoto look out!" I pushed Nepgear away and looked at the giant Doogoo which landed on me.
"I will kill you all..." I growled, pushing up on the ground and forced my limits to snap. I ended up with the giant Doogoo over my head, and with a yell I threw it away.
"You better use that adrenaline!" Xemnax warned, and then began to glow. "Aura Boost activated." My gauntlets grew with a gray aura to halfway down my calfs and I pulled down through the Doogoo and kicked it away. I used Dash and gave an upward claw slice, drop kicked it down, grabbed it by the tail, and spun it around as fast as I could, and threw it, probably into the sun. Then my limits came back on as I fell backwards on the ground, breathing heavy. "Whew, that took a lot out of you. You were like a transformed CPU though, and I was surprised you didn't pass out from Aura Boost." I laughed, and Uni straddled me.
"You look okay. What do you say Nepgear?" Nepgear leaned over me, and turned my face a couple times.
"Yeah, he just seems tired. Hey, Uni, show him the pictures!" Pictures? Uni showed me the reel, which one of included me slurping down a Doogoo. Wait, did I have a gray aura?
"I better explain that. Aura Boost gives you a visible aura, while your natural aura, anyone's is concealed. Though when you activate that ability, it becomes visible. Everything has an aura, but you can only sense larger ones at your skill level." I tried to sense an aura after he gave me the instructions how to and I sensed Neptune and Noire up front, then the younger sisters, then even the humans Compa and IF. Uni got off me and Noire huffed, and I thought I saw a blush on her cheeks as she flew off. "Where is she heading?" Xemnax asked.
"She's off to kill some more monsters for Lastation. Can you keep an eye on her?" Neptune asked, and I raised an eyebrow. "What? Its not like I'm taking advantage of you." I sighed, activated Dash and ran after the moving CPU. Suddenly, just as I reached the cave, her aura level dropped significantly, like she wasn't Black Heart anymore. I almost Dash again until the first girl blocked my path.
"Hey, what is with you girls that just appear at random?" I'm not complaining, I thought to myself.
"I bet you aren't. Here, I don't want you dying on us." She put her hand out and my clothes changed to black shorts and a white shirt that was covered in drawn chains, and I had a nice pair of gray, white, and black headphones. I pounded my chest and found my defense to be higher. "It'll change on the situation, cool right? Up, times up. I'm Elsa by the way!" She disappeared, and I remember the dropped aura level and dashed in. I found Noire, not Black Heart and an angry Ancient Dragon.
"Time to look awesome!" I summoned Lights Bane to my hand and reeled back. I launched it and broke through the Ancient Dragon's hand and pinned the appendage to the cave wall. I took ten steps back and then ran faster than possible to jump kick the dragon across the face, grabbing my sword on the way down.
"You?" Noire asked from behind me, and I chuckled and nodded.
"Slow down, and check yourself. Picture stats and amounts of power you have." I focused as the dragon recovered, and saw I was at 80% health, my EXE was full, my Stamina was at 40%, and my SP was full. "Okay, I'm gonna give you some advice, go back to the gauntlets." I switched back and dodged a dragon slice.
Skill Activated: Shadow Claw
My gauntlet covered hand gave way to a shadowy claw aura and as I marveled I was slapped into a wall. "Ugh, I guess I go all out now." 60% health. I ran forward, and parried a claw slice to give a leg wound. I was doing chip damage, and with a downed goddess, I was almost sure that I was done. Then another skill activated.
Skill Activated: Dark Pulse
I let wave of darkness flow and cut into the dragon on multiple areas. I checked my SP bar. 50%, and it seemed that maintaining Shadow Claw drained it. "I need to activated Aura Boost, now."
"You'd be completely out of stamina, and a Doogoo breathing on you would knock you out."
"Better than dying right now."
"Hard to argue with that illogical logic. Aura Boost activated." As my aura became larger my clothes altered to be long black pants, and slick black leather jacket that was studded. The chains were legit this time, and were wrapped around my wrists. My headphones were playing Whispers In The Dark by Skillet and I had a pair of googles that had power button designs on them. "WHOA! What's up god, didn't know were you present!?"
"No, I just used Aura Boost. Only my clothes changed."Then again, I did feel more powerful. Or just looked it, but I checked my shoes. I could produce the boost panels that the goddesses did, and I produced one to uppercut the dragon hard in the jaw and pushed away with another panel. "Okay, maybe I am a god!" Reality hit me, in the form of a dragon pimp slap. I landed on another panel, my stamina draining fast.
EXE Drive Activated: Shadow's Embrace
"I think its time we finish this!" I summoned a multitude of Shadow Balls and my shadow claws grew 20 times larger. I collapsed the shadow balls and sliced the dragon to bits. I coughed a lot and lost my Aura Boost, my clothes reverting back and struggled over to Noire. My body was racked with pain, and I was a pain to breath. My stamina was at zero! I needed something soft to land on. I checked Noire's health, and passed out.
"Hey. Get off my chest. You've rested long enough, and you need to get up." Huh, I was lying on something soft. Really soft... Wait, she said this was her chest! I rolled off her, and my head landed on the ground with a soft thud.
"Hey champ. Nice use of the boost panels, and the EXE was worth a round of applause." Xemnax commented, and I checked myself over. I had, leveled up. Maybe? My stamina bar was larger, my health was higher, and I felt a bit stronger. "Anyway, I explained you to our resident goddess so she didn't kill you in your sleep."
I looked at the blushing red eyed goddess. "Thanks for the landing pad, tsundere." She growled and summoned her sword, causing me to leap up, but a smile still on my face. "That's no way to treat the person who just saved your life, is it sweetheart?" I loved tsunderes! They were really fun to toy with, and I read the sudden flash of emotions on her face when I made that statement.
"Whatever. I didn't need your help." She almost stood up, yet slipped and I caught her hand. She yanked it away, blushing more. We walked out of the mine, quite close to each other. This was on purpose, as every time I accidentally bumped her, she was jump a foot in the air. Who said white guys can't jump? After we reached the entrance I got her sword to my throat. "If you tell anyone about this I will have your head on a mantle."
"Yes milady." I answered, Xemnax laughing.
"Hey sis!" Uni ran up to the two of us. "Where's Izimoto staying?" Huh, good question. I had been running around Planeptune and sleeping in fields and parks for a while, so I had forgotten the comfort of a bed. She must have noticed the confused look on my face. "He can stay with us, can't he?"
I was fine with that, though the tsundere wasn't. "We must have a meeting of the goddesses about him. He has an interesting gauntlet, or HDG as it calls itself. He is quite the capable warrior, so we must discuss." Darn, that meant they would question me about stuff I didn't know! "You will follow me, understand?" She was talking to me now, and I wanted to bolt. Though I relaxed and nodded. I seemed to have an OP mode myself, so if they came at me, as long as my stamina was at max I could probably beat them, so I followed.
This was my longest starting chapter so far. Hey, shout outs anyone who figured out that I'm using the name of Pokemon moves rather than DBZ moves before reading this part. There will be original moves, but references will be present. Review or PM about what you like, didn't like, anything, and I'll respond as soon as possible. Later!
