Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Ten Thousand Year King

New Game?

Yes

No

This story takes place in land of Gamindustri. A place that is inhabited by humans and creatures of all kinds. It is divided into four distinct nations. Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee and Leanbox.

These nations are run by the CPUs and their respective candidates. In each nation, there are guilds. These guilds offer monetary compensation for various jobs or hereafter refered to as "quests". Many adventurers, young and old compete for fame and fortune.

One such person is the protagionist of this story. A young 21 year old man by the name of Lan. He is about to have an encounter that will bring his destiny to the forefront...a destiny that will shape the entire world...

Prologue - The Agent of Destiny

~PLANEPTUNE OUTSKIRTS - VIRTUA FOREST~

Lan: "The guild said that this was going to be a rather simple creature to find. Perhaps the intel was bad...I can't seem to find the target."

Flashback

Guild Attendant: "This is a C rank quest, the request itself comes from the Basilicom. Apparently there is an Elder Dragon with an unusual glow that has been spotted rampaging in Virtua Forest."

Lan: "The Basilicom, huh? Usually they only hand out A or S rank quests. They must want this kept out of the public's eyes and ears."

Guild Attendant: "You're most likely right. There are strict orders to only send our best agent to complete this task. If this was labeled as a A or S rank quest..."

Lan: "It would be made public knowledge so the general population would be aware to watch out and protect themselves."

Guild Attendant: "Quick on the draw, as always Lan."

Lan: "..."

Guild Attendant: "Needless to say...this quest is a top priority. The pay is 250,000 credits. You must sign a waiver before taking it on, that you won't speak of this to anyone as to ensure public peace of mind."

Lan: "A waiver...if this quest is really that serious, why aren't the CPUs involved?"

Guild Attendant: "That...I could not begin to say."

Lan: "So, I do the dirty work? Well, I can't argue with getting my hands dirty for that many credits. I'd have enough soap to stop profanity permanently. Get me that waiver. I'll set off at once."

Guild Attendant: "Here you go...and Lan..."

Lan: "...?"

Guild Attendant: "Be careful out there. We have absolutely no idea what we are dealing with here aside from a vague discription."

Lan: "Relax, I'm always careful."

End Flashback

Lan: "Well...maybe I should report back to the guild. There's absolutely no sig-"

?: "HEEELLLLPP!"

Elder Dragon: "GRRROOOAAAHHHH!"

Lan: "...?! I spoke to soon. You there! Get down!"

?: "Whoa! Enter the dreamy dark hero! This is totally the scene where the main heroine is in major super-duper deep trouble and then the dark, brooding hero appears and saves her from certain death! We don't usually get a scene like this in the franchise, so I humbly accept my circumstances as the first female character to finally have a boyfriend. Wait...BOYFRIEND?! I'm but a fair maiden, am I really emotionally prepared for this and err...that?

Lan: "Hello?! I need you to get down!"

?: "Noire is going to be SO jealous! That alone is worth having to sacrifice my chastity to the main hero. It's not like I can stop it anyway, it is part of the main script. I'll have to talk with the writers about this. I wasn't exactly warned that I'd get cherry picked today. Hey...dark hero guy? Please...be be gentle with me."

Lan: ("I think this girl really needs a phyche evaluation.") Don't say I didn't warn you...to GET DOWN! PIXEL PENETRATION!

?: Penetration?! Wait...writers, heelllo out there?! This is to soon! I demand a rewrite! I didn't get a date or even a pudding cup! I at least deserve...oh, wait. That was his attack name. You can bet that will be a running gag. ...OH NOOOO! I need to duck!"

The attack connected with the Dragon and managed to slice him clean in half. Afterwards, he faded into energy and evaporated into the air.

Lan: "Nothing to it. I don't have any proof I defeated it though, it was bizarre how it just turned into energy like that. I've never seen that. How am I supposed to prove I defeated it?"

?: "Hey there...mister dark hero guy...that was totally rad! I suppose I wouldn't mind a date or three. I'm warning you now though, I don't like eggplants. They would definitely lower my affection points."

Lan: "...I'll keep that in mind. So, ummm..."

?: "Oh right...I haven't introduced myself yet. I got caught up in my maiden's moral struggle. My name is Neptune! I'm the CPU of Planeptune. Nice to meet'cha dude!"

Lan: "What?! The CPU?! You? Sorry, I find that awfully hard to believe."

Neptune: "Aww man...I always get this reaction. I kid you not, good sir! I'm the real deal, in the flesh! Well...not yet. We haven't gotten that far in the plot yet.

Lan: "I still don't believe you. In fact...the only thing I do believe at this very moment, is that I need to be taking you to Planeptune Hospital to see a Neurologist."

Neptune: "That quick wit is truly befitting of the man who will plow my forbidden garden, but I need to set the record straight there "Sir Buster"! I am the true blue...or...errr...purple CPU of Planeptune. The proof is in the pudding as they say and I had twenty five servings today, so I'm stuffed with proof. Behold my power!"

Lan: "Whatever...huh? ...!"

Purple Heart: "...and with that, I have proved my point. I am goddess Purple Heart. Pleased to make your aquaintance."

Lan: "I've never seen what the CPUs look like, but I have to admit this form seems like the real deal. (More sane as well.) If you're the CPU, then you could verify that I defeated the Elder Dragon. Would you be willing to do that?"

Purple Heart proceeds to move over to Lan, she smiles and puts a hand on his shoulder...

Purple Heart: "Do not worry, I will tell them what I've seen here toda-..."

*THUMP* *THUMP*

Lan: "...are you alright?"

Purple Heart: "...I've changed my mind, Sir Handsome..."

Lan: "Wait...you won't do it?

Purple Heart: "No...not about that. I'll do that..."

Purple Heart then traces a finger down Lan's cheek gently, a subtle blush forming on her face and with a seductive smirk says...

Purple Heart: "What I meant was, I'm prepared to skip to the end of the story. In fact, I want to. Feel privledged. No human to my knowledge has ever made love to a goddess, Sir Handsome."

Lan: ("...she's serious. Something doesn't feel right though. It's like she's possesed. She was so calm before, then her personality just changed...well...again. This may be a dangerous situation. I should be cautious until I understand this.") "Sorry Purple Heart, not today. I want to go collect my reward and then I think you owe me some answers."

Purple Heart: "Refusing a goddess? Or maybe...playing hard to get? Are you sure you want to do that? This is a once in a lifetime offer many would give their lives for."

Lan: "You said so yourself...it'll happen eventually due to the course of the plot. I'm not worried about it."

Purple Heart: "Oh...Sir Handsome. You pay attention and talk meta...you're a rare find indeed. Very well, I won't force you."

*FLASH*

Neptune: "Whoa, Sir Buster! What did you do to me?! One minute I was my cool and collected CPU self, the next minute I wanted you to to put your plug in my socket! How'd you do that! That's a cheat code people would totally geek spaz for!"

Lan: "I didn't do anything. Now, I don't know about you...but I'm not a fan of just standing around in the forest waiting to be monster chow. I'm heading back to the guild. You should come with me. I need your statement for the reward."

Neptune: "Yeah, I see your point. I'm kind of hungry anyway...sounds like a plan! To the guild, Sir Buster!"

Lan: "My name is Lan. Frankly, I have no clue where you got the idea to call me "Sir" anything. I'm no knight or hero, just an agent."

Neptune: "Well, of course! The main hero always starts out that way, but becomes a hero in the end! You've got to play more games dude, for reals."

Lan: "You're giving me a headache. Let's just quietly head back to the guild now."

Neptune: "Alright-a-roonie, Sir Buster!"

Lan: "...ugh. By the way...since you are infact the CPU, why didn't you defeat that dragon? It was child's play. A goddess should have had no trouble. You seemed in panic when I arrived."

Neptune: "That's the strange part! None of my attacks worked, in either form! It's like they created a new level of difficulty JUST for that monster! It was totally unfair! The game balance is in shambles!"

Lan: "...!" ("This may be bigger then I had imagined. I sensed Neptune's energy. It was definitely higher then that monster's. Something just isn't right. I may have to speak with the Basilicom about this...as I doubt Neptune noticed."

~PLANEPTUNE CITY - GUILD HQ~

Guild Attendant: "Lan...?! Lady Purple Heart! What's going on here?"

Neptune: "Yo, dude."

Lan: "It's a long story. In any case, I completed the quest. For reasons I can't explain, there is no trophy to show. The CPU here is going to validate my story."

Neptune: "Sir Buster here finished him in a single strike! He's definitely atleast level 90."

Guild Attendant: "I-I see...in that case, Lan here is your reward. 250,000 credits."

Neptune: "Holy crap! I could buy pudding for a decade with that! Histy really reached into Planeptune's coffers this time. I hope she didn't take it from a school or an orphanage. That would definitely get us some bad reviews on Nepchan. My shares would plummet."

Lan: "Somehow I doubt that. "Histy"...is that Planeptune's oracle?"

Neptune: "Right-o Sir Buster! As to be expected of my plot destined future husband. Oh my...imagine how much pudding would be at our wedding? I get giddy up just thinking about it."

Lan: "...right. (Best to ignore that.) Would I be able to accompany you to the Basilicom? I have a few questions for this Histy character."

Neptune: "Asking to go over to a girl's place of residence, right after you've met. Smooooth move, Sir Bold. Yeah, sure. It seems like the best thing to do plot wise."

Lan: "Very well. Cherie, another time."

Cherie: "You too, Lan. Be well, Lady Purple Heart."

Neptune: "Thanks, gal pal!"

~PLANEPTUNE CITY - BASILICOM - TOP FLOOR, CPU'S RESIDENCE~

Neptune: "Histy! Nep. Jr! I'm home!"

Nepgear: "Welcome home Big Sis! Did you find that monster? Oh gosh...who's that with you?"

Lan: "(...interesting.)"

Neptune: "That my dear sister, is Sir Buster! My boyfriend. Be nice to him now."

Nepgear: "What...? Oh dear. Really?"

Lan: "No. I am not her boyfriend. At all. She just had it stuck in her head."

Nepgear: "Oh, sorry about that. That's how my sister is."

Lan: "Don't sweat it. I figured as much. (She's normal and polite. Finally, someone I can get some answers from.) My name is Lan, I'm a guild agent who took on your monster job."

Lan procedes to hold out his hand to Nepgear. She walks over and as she's about to shake it...

Nepgear: "I'm Nepgear. Neptune's younger sister and the CPU Candidate of Planeptun-"

*THUMP* *THUMP*

Nepgear: "Oh my...so you're really not my sister's boyfriend?"

Lan: "No. I am not."

Nepgear: "That's good. Would you...like to be mine instead? I'll do whatever you ask me to do, I'm very submissive."

Lan: "..!?"

Neptune: "Yikes! Nep. Jr. went into full on fanboy's fantasy mode. She's only this forceful when there's mechanics involved. Here's some mechanics for you, he's MY boyfriend."

Nepgear: "We'll let him decide, Big Sis. Well Lan? Tee-hee...who do you *licks lips* desire?"

Lan: "No one. I'm nobody's boyfriend. May I please speak to a voice of reason?"

Histoire: "What's all the commotion out here? Ah, Neptune. You have returned safely. Thank heavens."

Neptune: "Hiya Histy! Long time no speak or whatever. Check it out Histy! I came home with a man...I'm so naughty...heh heh..."

Histoire: "Ah, forgive me. I'm Histoire, Planeptune's oracle. Who might you be?"

Lan: "I'm Lan. A guild agent. I took out that dragon you made the request to eliminate."

Histoire: "You did? Thank you, on behalf of everyone here."

Lan: "So, you did make that request and you sent Neptune out to try and handle it internally. Even though you had a feeling it couldn't be affected by a CPU's energy."

Histoire: "It is as you say...you are quite attentive to detail. Perhaps the Basilicom could use someone like you."

Neptune: "Uhhh...Histy? You lost me a looong ago. Mind explainin' for us simple folk?"

Histoire: "It is as Lan says. For now though, I feel it would be best to discuss this in the presence of all the CPUs. I have already asked them to come here do we can discuss this matter."

Neptune: "YES! I can totally rub it right in Noire's lonely face that I have a boyfriend. This is going to be hilarious, watching her tsundere herself to new heights! Wait a minute...that might actually help with her fanbase. I should think...*pfft* yeah right. I'll take the popularity hit, just to see the look on her face."

Nepgear: "Goodness Neptune, he said he's not anyone's boyfriend. He hasn't chose one of us yet. That's not fair!"

Histoire: "Nepgear?! What has gotten in to you? You're completely different! ...wait...boyfriend?! CPUs can't date normal humans. Don't be absurd, both of you. Honestly, I expect this from Neptune...but not you Nepgear."

Nepgear: "Gosh Histoire, I'm sorry..."

Lan: "(That's the same thing that happened with Neptune. Her personality just switched back after awhile. It's almost as if they were bi-polar. What's going on here and why am I the one who has their interest?)"

Histoire: "Honestly you two...the other CPUs will be here any minute."

Noire: "...except we're already here."

Blanc: "It's not surprising for Neptune to be causing some kind of fuss."

Vert: "Indeed. Some things never change."

Histoire: "I see you have all arrived. Good, I can get to the matter at hand then."

Uni: "Nepgear...why are you blushing? Do you have a cold?"

Ram: "You should dress properly, like me and Ram! You're like...supposed to be the responsible one!"

Rom: "Miss Nepgear...are you ok?"

Nepgear: "...I don't know. Something just came over me all of a sudden. Oh goodness...I can't believe I...i-it's nothing! I'm fine...r-really."

Vert: "Are you certain Nepgear? Perhaps you need me to take care of you? It is a basic requirement for a big sister to dote upon her little sister when she is sick. I could make us both tea and extend to you sisterly love all day long...my, how marvelous that sounds! Wouldn't you agree?"

Neptune: "Vert, that gag is so old now...our fans are probably actually gagging. She's my sister, you can't have any."

Noire: "Can we get back to the reason we came here? I didn't come all this way just for the same old comedy routine. I thought there was something urgent to discuss?"

Histoire: "Yes, I assure you there is matter of the utmost urgency that requires the attention of all the CPUs. Let me begin wit-"

Neptune: "Guess what Noire! I have a boyfriend! That's right! B-O-Y-F-R-I-E-N-D. How do you lump them apples?"

Noire: "W-what? You..."that" Neptune has a boyfriend? (Before me...) I don't believe it."

Lan: "Then you're sharp, because I am not anybody's boyfriend. Allow me to introduce myself CPUs and Candidates. I am Lan, a guild agent. I believe the job I did today is directly related with why Histoire asked you here today. I have many questions myself, which I hope can be answered by what she has to say."

Lan then intends on shaking the hands of the CPUs and Candidates. He believes this is good business practice, as you never know when one could hire him to do a quest...which in turn pays well. He goes over to Noire first and extends his hand.

Lan: "Pleased to make your aqaintance."

Noire: "A boy with manners, how rare. I suppose it's nice to meet you to-"

*THUMP* *THUMP*

Noire: "I can't believe I didn't notice before, you are quite handsome. Definitely boyfriend material."

Noire then seductively cups Lan's chin with her fingers...

Noire: "I'm quite the seamstress...among other things...if you became my boyfriend, I wouldn't mind making some new outfits to model for you. Not that they would stay on very long..."

Everyone: WHAT?!

Neptune: Get on the phones people! Noire stopped being contrary! Call 911! It's an emergency! Thousands of creepy, loyal Noire fans just had heart attacks. I know I'm about to!"

Uni: "Noire...what's gotten into you? Hey jerk! What did you do to my sister? I'll shoot you dead, right between the eyes!"

Lan: "I didn't do a thing! I have no idea what's happening!"

Uni then walks up and grabs Lan by the collar of his coat...

Uni: "Like HELL you didn't! I shoul-..."

*THUMP* *THUMP*

Lan: "...?!"

Uni: "You've got guts, getting so close to a CPU Candidate like this. Not that I mind...at all. Why don't you come closer...I have something personal to tell you..."

Lan: "...what?! I-...a little help? Someone?!"

Neptune: "Holy moly, Sir Popular! You've got some serious swag going on to have the tsundere sisters wanting your bod. This plot sure is getting strange, even for me. Is this perhaps the legendary eroge game that all the fans want, but much to their chargin...never get? Our developers are really going to rake in the cash this time. Good news gals! We're going to be around awhile, because you can bet there's going to be a sequel."

Lan: "You're not helping Neptune!"

Vert: "This is rather peculiar behavior for the two of them. As amusing as this is, it would be best to stop them."

Blanc: "Let me handle this. I've wanted to do this for a long time, anyway."

Blanc then proceeds to smack the "tsundere sisters with her hammer".

*TWHACK*

Noire: "Owww...Blanc, why are you being such a bitch?!"

Uni: "Y-yeah...ouch...that was uncalled for...cripes..."

Blanc: "Really? You think? You two were about to be the female characters in one of the M-rated games Vert owns.

Vert: "Actually, the characters in my games had better tact then these two."

Noire: "Huh? ...OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD! I'm going to die. Right here. What THE HELL did you do to me?! You asshole!"

Uni: "Target is within range...locked on."

Lan: "(This just isn't my day. Are CPUs really always this foolish? I've seen kids more mature then them.)"

Histoire: "(I can't...believe this. Actually, the timing does fit. Still...to think it would be this particular generation. I have to confirm my suspicions.)" "That is enough, all of you. Lan has done nothing to any of you. At least, not intentionally. Lan...would you do me a favor?"

Lan: "That depends...what kind of a favor?"

Histoire: "Tell me something, do you have any strange markings on your body?"

Neptune: "Look guys...even Histy has the hots for Sir Popular over here."

Histoire: "Neptune, this is not the time! This is a VERY serious situation if I am correct!"

Neptune: "Calm down, Histy. You'll fry a circuit or something."

Histoire: "Lan, my question."

Lan: "Yeah, right here. On my shoulder. I've had it since I can remember."

Histoire: "...! This...you...I can't believe it. You're..."

Lan: "...?!"

Histoire: "...the -CPU King-."

Everyone: "...?!"

Histoire: "Allow me to explain."

10,000 years ago, there were no CPUs. Society thrived in wealth...but no one was happy. Everyone just worked and lived, there was little to no entertainment. People worked themselves literally to death, because there was nothing else to do. Everyone started to die young and soon, our world faced a population crisis. There were going to be no humans left if the world followed the course it was on.

That's when a woman appeared. Her name was -Sarcelle-...she would become the first goddess.

The first CPU.

As you know, CPUs are born when an extreme upsurge in share energy occurs in a nation and they take physical form within the R&D labs of that nation's Basilicom.

Sarcelle was different, because she used the faith and power of all those who remained and channeled it into her own body at great risk to herself. Share power, usually can not be handled by humans. She however, was the first to discover it and it's uses. She used that power to ultimately create Gameindustri and all entertainment we have today.

Eventually, a certain issue arose...if a human could channel share energy, then everyone in theory would be capable of it. Luckily, that was not the case. Sarcelle had a unique genetic makeup that allowed her to use and manipulate it to her will.

Sarcelle realized something, if she were to get pregnant...she would ultimately pass the power along. Over time, it would be inevitable that there would be far too many people who could utilize share energy at a time.

This in turn, would cause far too much conflict. Everyone would fight over the right to rule Gameindustri and draw shares. If too many people drew upon shares, it would strain the people and they would all start dying...bringing us back to the population crisis, once again.

She knew that if she died, the share energy would also be lost and entertainment and balence would cease to exist. Sarcelle hatched a plan...she had a child...a baby boy.

This boy had CPU powers. He utilized share energy, just like his mother.

Scientists under Sarcelle eventually got together and created the device that allows pure concentrated share energy of extreme proportions to take on sentient form. It was a masterpiece. Finally, there were no worries of overdrawing share energy and killing people. Now, the next problem occured. If CPUs born of pure share energy were male and female, couldn't the same thing happen?

No. As it would be, share energy is extremely hard to pool together. As you all know when it comes to making Sharicite. Even an entire nation...maybe even three nations, wouldn't be enough to make a male. It's much easier to make share energy into an XX Chromozone combination then an XY, it takes more...much more share energy to create two different chromozones. Rather then make two of the same.

This created a balance for a time.

Three new issues eventually came to light.

The first being, this method lacked progress. Human's breed with two different gene pools to create new combinations of genes so that they can attempt to become superior to the last generation. CPUs, while having varied abilities...ultimately would never truly evolve.

The second issue, being that since CPUs are made of pure share energy and not organic material, they did not age. Thus, they could spend a very long time without ever knowing love. Which leads us into the last issue.

The third issue is that CPUs born this way, literally can't breed with humans. As a defense mechanism, a CPU's hymen is much, much stronger then a normal human female's. If a normal human male tries to breed with her, he will fail. There are those that have tried...you can imagine the attempts all ended in failure.

Scientists theorized at the time, it was the genes of the CPU making it so they could not be diluted by humans. CPUs are roughly 10,000 years ahead of humans in evolution. There was never any hope of humans catching up and even if they did...the original problem could occur of overuse and overdrawing share energy.

In time a problem everyone had overlooked presented itself.

Sarcelle...had a son who was a CPU. He WAS successful in breeding with a female CPU. The end result, was a CPU evolved 10,000 years ahead the current CPUs. After that...the next -share energy concentrated- born CPU or -SEC born- was the same.

Remember, share energy needs both a CPU and followers to be utilized. The share energy takes on the qualities of the one channeling it. That's how share energy knows what nation to give birth in. Thus, it changed it's composition because of the advanced CPU that was created.

In order to keep balance and in order to make it so a CPU could know true love at some point and not always have to suffer, the golden summits were created. They were meant to take in the people's faith automatically every 10,000 years if people could not all believe in the CPU's enough to create a male.

That's why Gold Third was able to take in and utilize share energy. They were using the gold summits to channel it forcefully. If they had done this for too long, they would now be dead. You helped them without realizing it.

Anyway, the male who would be born would be responsible for the new era of CPUs. This male would have CPU Powers. Albeit, far stronger then any female CPU could dream of becoming. He would have the power to attract the female CPUs to him as CPU genes crave evolution like an addict.

Once share energy takes on sentient form, it will do anything to stay that way. Utilized share energy disappears. It dies. Thus, it does what any living creature would do...anything it can to survive and evolution was it's answer.

That's how Sarcelle's son attracted the SEC-born female CPU of that era to him in the first place. She wanted him as if her life depended on it because of her genes craving the evolution of her race.

This male CPU would be responsible for picking one of the SEC-borns and mating with her. Producing an evolved CPU and allowing natural evolution and progress to take place. That CPU would take his wife, his queen...and become...the CPU King.

21 years ago, an upsurge in shares of unprecedented quanity occured after the battle with Affimojas. The entire world believed in the CPUs at once. Coupled with the golden summits being forcefully activated by Kurome, the shares pooled together at the moment of Neptune's attack and created...Lan.

Lan, is the CPU King. He is responsible for choosing one of you as his wife and ultimately ruling all of Gameindustri as the CPU King. It's his birthright and his destiny. That is why Neptune, Nepgear, Noire and Uni reacted so strongly to him. When they came in contact with him, their genes sensed the presense of the CPU King or male CPU genes and immediately went into survival mode by making them hopelessly and unendingly attracted to him.

I know this is alot to take in all at once, but this is a serious matter as I said before. This era is ending and one of you CPUs as well as Lan, will be responsible for shaping the new era of Gameindustri for the next 10,000 years.

Neptune: "So...let me get this straight in my noggin. Sir Buster over here is a Male CPU, stronger then all of us combined. He has the power at will, to make any of us his personal sex toys and we will not only say yes 100% of the time, we will absolutely love it as if our lives depended on it? ...and this all happened because of my Dimensional Slice that time?

Histoire: "You are correct Neptune."

Neptune: "Oops. My bad."

Noire: "THIS GUY IS DANGEROUS! HE NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP, YESTERDAY!

Blanc: "I agree! I've known this guy for the amount of time this conversation has taken place and he could literally make me do anything physically he wanted with absolutely no effort?!

Uni: "I'll make sure he has nothing left to use! I don't mind aiming below the belt."

Ram: "Get away from me you weirdo sicko dummy freak!"

Rom: "Don't touch me or Ram...dummyhead."

Nepgear: "Oh dear...I honestly don't know how to feel right now."

Lan: "Whoa! Hold up. It's not like I planned or want this. Did I not refuse all your advances? I'm a professional first and foremost. I have no desire for a relationship, let alone a lover. My only concern is money and that's it.

Vert: "If I may cut in for a moment, I believe all of you are missing the point in all of this. Whether we like it or no...this man, is the only man...we could ever truly have sex with. The only man we could ever have a true relationship with. I doubt any of us really thought of it until now. CPUs don't outwardly age, so it never occured to any us to think seriously about having a relationship because none of us are even remotely close to the end of our natural lifespan. We can and will die someday...but, it's very far off. I assume that we were never told any of this because there was never any need. I imagine CPUs of the past probably had to eventually face the harsh reality of never being able to have a true relationship with someone. Sex doesn't make the relationship, by any means...but it is important. If you want to start a family or show the one you love, that you love them physically as let's face it, all humans have those desires...it's inevitable. I can't even imagine the pain CPUs of the past felt if they had of actually fell in love, only to realize they could never give everything they had or were to their loved ones. That's a personal hell they would have to live in. We actually have the chance to have what they couldn't. Real and true love, we can do more then any CPU has been capable of in 10,000 years.

Everyone: "..."

Vert: "I don't honestly see the point in fighting it. One of us is going to have to be with him as he is destined to rule all of Gameindustri while he is alive, as it's King. The "CPU King". Until now, we as friends competed and maintained a delicate balance for the good of the world. If we don't do this, that balance will be compromised and ultimately would lead the world down the path to ruin. We HAVE to do this.

Histoire: "It is indeed as Vert says. One of you will be named the CPU Queen. It will be your duty to produce an heir and be a symbol of hope for the people, as well as be a pillar of strength for your husband...the CPU King, to lean on during his overwhelmingly difficult task of ruling all of Gameindustri and establishing the new era while maintaining peace and order. You are free to not go through with this, but that ultimately means..."

Noire: "Giving up your nation and it's people..."

Blanc: "...and losing everything we ever worked for."

Histoire: "Sadly, you are both correct. That is the pain that almost all of you will have to endure eventually, in order to maintain the balance of Gameindustri."

Blanc: "Neptune?"

Neptune: "Yes, Blanc?"

Blanc: "I'm going to murder you. However, because I'm your friend...I'll let you chose a slow or quick death. I am not without mercy."

Neptune: "Uh-oh...she really means it. Sir...uhhh...I mean, Your Majesty! Stop Blanc with your royal charms and make it snappy or I'm done for!

Blanc: "DON'T YOU DARE!"

Lan: "Neptune, that's not even close to being in the same world as funny! This is serious shit here..."

Histoire: "This is indeed a situation that requires immediate attention and yet I can understand how this would be far too much information for you all to take in at once. This is a decision, that unfortunately affects and is being forced upon you all. I can't even begin to imagine how you all are feeling right now."

Noire: "So he's really...(The only shot I have at a real boyfriend...) ...the CPU King?

Histoire: "Yes, the mark on his shoulder confirms it. However...there is one other way to confirm it."

Vert: "(Here's the part I've been waiting for!) That would be to transform. Would it not? If he is a CPU, a king no less...he should be capable of it."

Lan: "...transform?"

Histoire: "It's as Vert says. He should be able to further prove himself upon transforming."

Lan: "How do I do that? I have never done such a thing."

Neptune: "It's kind of like instant puberty. You just have believe and then BAM...boobs ahoy! Uhhh...well, I don't think that would be the case for you though."

Vert: "It only seems logical it would affect his..."

Blanc: "Don't say it!"

Lan: "None of this is helping me!"

Noire: "Ugh...all of you are annoying! Look Lan, you need to just hold out your hand and believe in yourself and the people of...well, we would believe in our nation. Histoire, who would Lan believe in? He doesn't have a ruling nation."

Histoire: "I believe for Lan it would be faith in the world. As it is the entire world that created him during that time."

Lan: "Belief in the world? You know...one day I just woke up in Planeptune Hospital with no memory of my life before. I just consider myself 21 because that's the day my new life started. Ugh...I don't even want to remember it. The nurse who attended me had a screw loose. Nice, but ditzy...and that huge syringe...I shudder just thinking about it."

Neptune: "That was definitely Compa. Your description of her matches her perfectly. I feel your pain, your majesty. I really do."

Lan: "(It figures she'd be a friend of Neptune's...) Anyway...I had no family or friends. So, I did not or do not have much faith in the world. I've spent my life fighting any corruption I've come across. For a price of course, I have to live. I don't know if I would have enough faith to transform."

Vert: "Then we will just have to be the first to believe in you and in turn, you shall believe in us."

Neptune: "Awesome idea Vert! Huge knockers and brains...I have to be careful or I'll lose fan base..."

Uni: "Would something like that really work though?"

Blanc: "I can't see why not. It is logical."

Noire: "If Lan were to see us all transform, you would have to believe in what you see."

Histoire: "Yes everyone, that method should allow Lan to transform for the first time. I would ask you all to transform and show him that you are all true CPUs."

Ram: "Let's do it Rom! The Dummy King is depending on us!"

Rom: "Ok Ram...if you will...I will too!"

Uni: "Ugh...if I have to. Don't start your weird magic on me or anything! I can still shoot you."

Nepgear: "I'm going to believe in Lan, he did save my sister and he does seem to have good intentions."

Vert: "Remember this fact everyone, Lan is also for lack of a better word...a victim of this circumstance just like us. It goes for him as well, that we are the only ones he could ever truly love. It may even be harder for him, because he would have to choose among us all and inevitably hurt the rest of us. Such a burden is a cruel fate...so I want to believe in him to help ease the burden."

Blanc: "The fate of the entire world, rests in this guy's shoulders? I guess it won't do me any good to complain about it. Just don't try any funny business, or I'll send you straight to hell!"

Noire: "I get all I've heard here, but getting his pick of goddesses doesn't seem like a burden to me..."

Neptune: "It's like he's at an all you can eat buffet of expensive food and he gets to choose the one that tickles him the right way."

Histoire: "Aside from Neptune's crude explanation...you are all right. I'm glad you understand the situation, given how it will affect you all. Now...all of you, transform!"

Everyone: "Right!"

*FLASH*

Lan: "So...these are the CPUs."

Purple Sister: "Sorry, I don't really change much."

Purple Heart: "Be confident Nep. Jr. You are in the presence of a king. What do you think Sir Handsome? Do you think you could actually choose one of us?"

Green Heart: "It's obvious he will chose the goddess with the greatest assets. Well Lan, what say you?"

White Heart: "Can it, thundertits! Don't go flailing those fleshbags around!"

Green Heart: "My, my Blanc...I see the years have not been kind to...certain areas."

White Heart: "You bitch! Let's go, here and now! I'll chop those fat mounds right off you, once and for all!"

Black Heart: "Ignore them. They always fight like this. Just transform already."

Black Sister: "(My boobs always shrink...I hope be doesn't notice. Wait...) I-It's not like I care or anything anyway!"

White Sister (Ram): "Alright Dummy King! Show what you can do!"

White Sister(Rom): " Yeah...transform!"

Neptune: "Remember Sir Handsome, we are all putting our faith in you. Believe in us and show us your true regality."

Histoire: "Indeed, Lan. The Godessess are here in front of you, despite their internal struggles...putting their faith in your stature. It is now time. Show us your CPU form, show us the power of the CPU King and prove to us once and for all...your destiny."

Lan: "You all...believe in me despite the position you're all in. It's strange to me. I suppose you are all the closest thing I have to family. It's odd...I can feel energy akin to my own. Perhaps that in itself is proof. Alright. I will try."

Lan holds out his hand and words suddenly fill his mind...

Lan: "Access processor unit!"

With a flash after grasping a power symbol, a new person appears. Shirtless with a power symbol marking across his chest with glowing gold lines running throughout his body, unruly dark golden hair spiked upwards, a black collar with a GK symbol on it, black and gold gloves, cargo mechanical type pants that end above his ankles. He weilds what are now two gunblades, gold and black.

Gold Heart: "Gold Heart, set complete! I'm ready!"

Histoire: "He stands before us, the true CPU King. Gold Heart, was it? How befitting of a king. He may have had influence from the Golden Summits. In any case, welcome at last. 10,000 years I have waited for your arrival. I will serve you to the best of my abilities."

Gold Heart: "..."

Green Heart: "I...*nosebleed* find this form rather captivating."

Purple Heart: "Sir Handsome, truly lives up to my nickname for him. If he walked outside like that, he would immediately aquire every female's shares in an instant."

Purple Sister: "Amazing...I've never felt a power like this. It's beyond anyone, I've ever sensed."

White Heart: "Even I have to admit he's gorgeous. Even more so, we would be no match for him. If we all combined the power of our Next Forms, it would still not be enough...and this is the guy who can do whatever the hell he wants with us?! This isn't good. We don't stand a chance. This is one foe we would surely lose against. Good thing he's on our side."

Black Heart: "What a total...(hunk.) This power, this is the might of the CPU King?"

Black Sister: "It's overwhelming...I'm finding it hard to keep my composure in his presence. I guess I could respect him...a little, like this."

White Sister(Ram): "He's really cute! Rom, we better be nice to this guy."

White Sister(Rom):" He's dreamy...so cool..."

Purple Heart: "I guess the jury has spoken. Sir Handsome, you're being awfully quiet. Why don't you address your subjects, as a king should."

Gold Heart: "..."

Black Heart: "Hello? Earth to Lan...do you hear us?"

Lan: "Ohhhh...HOW WONDERFUL! Look at the delectable treats! All in front of me! So many varied sweets...all for the taking! I dare say my mouth is WATERING!"

Histoire: "I was afraid of this happening...his personality due to his power, drastically changed. Since it's his first transformation, he doesn't know how to resist the effects like the rest of you. In turn, his body is making him run off of instinct. This could prove troublesome."

Purple Heart: "So in other words..."

Everyone: "HE'S A TOTAL PERV!"

Gold Heart: "Now, now my beauties! Such talk, even from your sweet sounding mouths...is hurtful. You may need to comfort me...privately. You there! My white haired vixen! Since you're the closest, how about we get to know each other a little better."

Black Heart: "W-what? No! Stay away! I w-was just concerned, just a l-little! I wasn't giving you the go ahead to...ugh...this is embarrassin-"

Suddenly Lan or rather Gold Heart appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close to the point they are merely centimeters apart.

Black Heart: "Huh...how did y-you?!"

Purple Heart: "That was fast, I couldn't even keep up with his movements. Noire, that was awfully sly of you. Being the first to get close to him, you really are lonely and starving for affection, aren't you?"

Black Heart: "B-Be quiet Neptune! This is no time fo-...! (My body.. it's getting...so warm...this...feeling...I'm getting lost. ...and I don't care!)"

*THUMP*

Gold Heart: "Well my black beauty...how about we resign ourselves to our fates? You don't need to fight it, although I can handle it if you do want to get...a little rough...mhmm."

Black Heart with a blush across her face, forms an almost devious, seductive smile...tracing her index finger along his chest she chuckles slightly and says...

Black Heart: "Oh...believe me, I have plans to do all sorts of things with you...my King. I'll show you why -I- should be your queen.

Black Sister: "Noire! You're falling under his power! ...though, it's hard to resist even without being near him. I almost feel as if I'm losing myself. All I can think about..."

Just then Rom and Ram fell to the ground and reverted to their normal forms, unconsious with blushes on their faces.

White Heart: "Rom! Ram! ...*pant* W-what...happened to them?

Histoire: "Despite the fact you are all decades old, they are still the youngest CPUs. It is most likely they could not handle the sudden surge of Lan's share energy, coupled with their bodies reacting to the presence of male CPU genes. Their bodies' desires were too strong for CPUs of their composition. It may be some time, before they could handle being in close proximity to Gold Heart. In fact, it seems even without being touched...you are all being affected rather strongly in a similar manner."

Black Heart: "Does it really matter? I don't know about all of you, put I'm ready to claim my prize."

Gold Heart: "You're definitely a winner, lovely! Winners always get a prize and as it would so happen, your prize will be me...mhmmmm.

Purple Heart: "Noire's...*pant* personality is completely changed. We're all going to...*pant* be next if this continues."

Green Heart: *pant* "Agreed. As tempting as it is, all of us here at once would be disastrous. We need to...*pant*...stop them and this situation at once.

White Heart: "How do we...*pant* stop it? We can't just make him revert into his humanoid form. If you haven't noticed, he doesn't...*pant* seem like he wants to stop. Neither does Noire, for that matter!"

Purple Sister: "*pant* I don't know how...*pant*...much longer...*pant* I can...resist..."

Black Sister: "Why...would you resist Nepgear? He's a complete dreamboat. Sister or not Noire, I will fight you for him."

Purple Heart: "...! Uni lost out to her body's desires." *pant*

Black Heart: "You will not interrupt us Uni. Big Sister is going first."

As Black Heart says this she straddles Gold Heart and pushes him to the floor...

Black Heart: "Now, for my prize. You can all watch if you want, you might learn a thing or two."

Purple Heart: *pant* "Noire went from contrary to cocky in record time."

Gold Heart: "Let's begin the SHOW my black vixen!

?: ...NO! THIS IS MY BODY!

Gold Heart: ...urgh...AHHHHH!

Immediately followed by a surge of energy, Black Heart was flung off Gold Heart and crashed into a wall. With a flash of light they both reverted back to their normal forms...

Lan: "Like...hell...I would give in."

Purple Heart: "Sir Handsome!"

Green Heart: "Everyone! Revert back to your normal forms. The worst is over now. It's best to conserve what energy we have left."

Everyone: "Right!"

*FLASH*

Nepgear: "Goodness...that was really intense. I almost became a bride."

Vert: "His power is something to be feared, in more ways then one. It seems in his CPU form, he can somewhat control how much power he uses to seduce us."

Blanc: "What's worse is he's a complete pervert! Unlike his normal form, he seems more then eager to make us his...you know. He hasn't even come close to mastering his power yet, is the frightening part. I say that form is off limits! It's a danger to us all!"

Histoire: "Unfortunately, you are right Blanc. This is just the beginning. His power will most certainly only grow stronger from here on out. Eventually, you all may fall completely under the influence of his -genetic presence- as I will hereafter refer this phenomenon as...just by being with in proximity to him. If he truly wanted to, he could very well exert his genetic presence, at will. I believe we will have to try and figure out measures to counter this or it will always be chaotic when he's around."

Lan: "I assure you all, I did not mean for this to happen."

Noire: "Ugh...what happened? ...every part of my body is aching.

Neptune: "Well Noire, you were about to *pfft*...claim your prize."

Noire: "...!"

Neptune: "I have to say Noire, I didn't know you had it in you. You even wanted to put on some kinky peep show for us all to see. Way to take charge! Within lonliness belies a cougar on the prowl."

Noire: "S-shut up! I AM NOT a cougar! T-this is so embarrassing...hey YOU! King Perv! I hope you really are as strong as they say! If not...I'm going to dice you to bits."

Uni: "There won't be enough left of you to fill a teaspoon!"

Lan: "I told you it wasn't my fault! You heard what Histoire said, didn't you? Besides, if you touch me...(at the risk of angering her...) you'll become a cougar again.

Noire: "I AM NOT A COUGAR, YOU SMUG BASTAR-"

Vert: "As entertaining as this is, I believe there are more pressing matters at hand. Noire being a cougar can wait."

Noire: "For the last time...I...am...not...a...COUGA-"

Histoire: "That's enough, all of you!"

Neptune: "Yikes! I think Histy's cooling fans are on max rotation!"

Histoire: "Evidently, we are going to have to make our top priority figuring out a way to have Lan control his genetic presence. Otherwise...none of you will be able to work together."

Vert: "Is there such a way? You said so yourself...our very genes make us unable to resist his genetic presence. It seems that any effort towards a solution would be wasted."

Histoire: "I have been around since the era of Sarcelle. I have seen all of this before, as to why I could recognize the phenomenon when it occured. I do know how Lan can learn to control his genetic presence, I also know how all of you can learn to resist it."

Neptune: "Leave it to Histy! So, how are we supposed to make sure we remain pure maidens? Is it some kind of topical spray? Perv-be-gone? Or maybe some special training, in a room where time flows differently in the course of a day? That would be rad."

Blanc: "Neptune, you're always a step away from getting us in serious trouble with your descriptions. This situation is bad enough already. Whatever the solution is, Rom and Ram are going first! They're barely able to form words after what that royal perv did to them!

Ram: "...uhhhh..."

Rom: "...ahhhh..."

Vert: " I am also curious as to what these individual methods may be. Histoire, if you would be so kind..."

Histoire: "The solutions are full proof, but I can not guarentee...infact I know you will most likely not be content with the methods."

Noire: "Anything is got to be better then turning...like that...*blush*...every time he comes near us!"

Neptune: "Come on Histy...spill the beansprouts already."

Histoire: "The easiest method to resist his genetic presence is to actually fall in love with Lan."

Noire: "What! That doesn't help at all!"

Vert: "I have to agree with Noire, with his power it would be hard to know whether or not the feelings were real and truly mutual."

Histoire: "If a goddess falls in love with the CPU King naturally, of her own will...then she will have much more control of her feelings. The genetic presence unfortunately, will always have some effect on you. The difference is, you will not be consumed by it immediately. You will be aware of it and be able to choose whether or not you wish to give into it or not."

Vert: "In other terms, if we were to fall in love with Lan...we would know when the genetic presence was affecting us. We would have a choice. Not give into it and walk away or let ourselves go and have truly wonderous sex thanks to the genetic presence. I have to admit, the prospect doesn't sound so unappealing."

Nepgear: "In order to stay in control of our nations and maintain order in Gameindustri, one of us will eventually have to become his wife anyway. In that sense...you could see this as a positive outcome."

Uni: "You're forgetting something Nepgear. We would all have to fall in love with him, otherwise...the moment any of us who didn't fall in love with him go near him..."

Neptune: "It'll be a scandalous affair! You can bet a royal affair would be on every message board in Gameindustri! The paparazzi would follow you more then stalkers follow Noire."

Noire: "Shut it, Neptune! What about the other option Histoire, about Lan controlling his powers? I hate the fact that he still could...take us whenever he wanted. However, his normal form at least is somewhat respectable."

Histoire: "In order to have Lan be able to control his powers, he would have to have sexual intercourse. Everytime he has intercourse with a new partner, his control will strengthen. How many partners depends on the power of his share energy. As you seen here today, his power is above any previously recorded scale. In fact, only Sarcelle herself would have been able to stand against him successfully."

Neptune: "We are so screwed...literally."

Vert: "I must admit, it really does seem like there's no way to escape the fact..."

Noire: "...that we're all going to have to...s-slee"

Blanc: "LIKE HELL! I say we castrate him!"

Lan: "...!"

Vert: "Yes Blanc...and in the process we would be plunging the world into chaos. I believe the real lesson here is to look at our human comrades. Surely you all have noticed? We are CPUs. We are not supposed to be defeatable by humans, yet we have had many encounters over the past several decades where humans were able to best us in combat at times. This only proves it's time for an evolution for the CPUs, to take place. We are meant to govern over and guide the people. Gold Third was already able to temporarily utilize share energy, thanks to the Golden Summits...which were meant to create the CPU King. If we don't do something soon...other humans will begin to utilize share energy meant for us. If that happens we will lead the world to ruin. Everyone would eventually be lead to their deaths.

Histoire: "That is the truth of the matter. I know it's of great personal sacrifice to you all, but it is now the end of an era. It is up to Lan and one of you of his choosing, to shape the new era...with your newborn child. That is the duty of the CPU King and CPU Queen.

Neptune: "Well...time to buck up ladies. It looks like we're in for a wild ride."

Noire: "That's not funny, Neptune! How can you joke at a time like this? Don't you comprehend the gravity of the situation? ...of course you don't. You're Neptune."

Vert: "Essentially, this ends up being a competition of sorts."

Blanc: "Competition? How so?"

Vert: "We can't fight the genetic presence as we are now. We will just end up becoming lost in the heat of passion. We will have to decide individually whether or not we either try to force ourselves to fall in love, reject him completely or by luck...fall in love with him naturally. Even if we fall in love with him, it doesn't mean he will fall in love with us. So, essentially it turns into a competition for his affections. The only true way to know we fell in love with him naturally however, due to the genetic presence...is for him to have sex with enough of us, so that he has full control over it."

Blanc: "I see now...that only leaves one logical conclusion."

Vert: "Precisely. We can avoid this mess if Lan fell in love with one of us. I imagine if he did, then he would be able to control his genetic presence to a degree...just like how we would be able to resist it. Since he is a CPU...the same rules apply to him, I would wager."

Histoire: "That is correct Vert. The only thing left out is, if Lan fell in love with one of you,...it would not guarentee the goddess he chose would love him back. That's where the genetic presence is truly frightening. If he wanted to and was desperate enough, he could make the goddess of his choice fall in love with him by his own willpower. I watched this happen during the era of Sarcelle, her child who had the same powers, made the first ever SEC born CPU fall in love with him, by way of his genetic presence. This resulted in a child and caused much grief for all of them."

Neptune: "Hold the phone lines! This is all waaay too much, for my pretty little head to take in at once! Isn't this the same as real love? Feelings and emoticons all over the place? Everything ends up all topsy turvy, until you finally reach your goal? Methinks we should all just stop worrying about it."

Noire: "For once, I agree with Neptune's random outburst. In the end, there's nothing we can really do about it. Everyone here is smart enough to know what's at stake. We'll each just have to find our own way to deal with this."

Vert: "I agree. Like I said before, I don't plan on fighting this. Besides, the idea of being the CPU queen is rather appealing..."

Nepgear: "We have to participate...or it's the same as letting go of our nation and it's people. All of Gameindustri is depending on us. There's too much at stake to give up."

Uni: "I don't plan on giving up either. It's my duty as a CPU Candidate to see this through to the end."

Blanc: "This is a balance that was created 10,000 years ago. In a sense, you could say we were born for this very purpose. I don't like the idea, but I will uphold my duty as a CPU."

Histoire: "It certainly is alot, for a person to take in all at once. This is a destiny that however, can not be avoided. I believe you all have the right idea. No matter how much we go over the specifics, it's up to you all to chose the paths you want to ultimately take. Lan will be the one who has the greatest burden, he will responsible for deciding the fate of Gameindustri and by extension...the world.

Lan: "Honestly, this all quite overwhelming. Until today...I had no one. No friends, no family, nothing. Now as chance would have it, I hold the fate of the world in my hands. I'm expected to pick a wife as well...with no guarantee they would truly love me by their own free will because of a power I can't control. On top of that, I'm expected to rule the world or everyone on the planet could die."

Neptune: "Bet'cha didn't expect that when you woke up this morning. Eh, Sir Majesty?"

Lan: "Not in the slightest, Neptune. I'm not really interested in relationships, but I can't say I'm against them. That personality change I had...it was dreadfully disgusting behavior. However, it was still a part of me. I have to take responsibility for that, I won't deny it. So, what ever happens...happens. I'll be ready for it, when the time comes."

Vert: "A man who takes responsibility...that's how a King should be. I could respect you if you speak like that.

Neptune: "Sir Majesty is pretty awesome, in this form atleast. His other form is like super drool worthy but..."

Noire: "His CPU form is probably the biggest perv we've seen by a wide margin."

Histoire: "In any event, I would like to discuss the actual reason I gathered you all here today. It is a matter of great urgency."

Lan: "Amidst the chaos that ensued, I had almost forgotten about why we were here in the first place. I'm rather curious about it."

Histoire: "Allow me to brief you all on the current situation. This will also tie in to what ultimately will be our way of handling the situation regarding what we just discussed. A few days ago a disovery was made."

Vert: "I was the one who discovered the monster. I was going for a peaceful stroll along the outskirts of Leanbox, when I was attacked by what seemed to be an Elder Dragon with a teal glow. None of my attacks were effective and as shameful as it is to admit, I barely made it out with my life."

Histoire: "Afterwards Vert infomed me of the situation regarding the -teal monster-. I then came up with a plan that covered two different angles. The first part, was to have Neptune find and engage the monster in combat. It's predicted course was in Planeptune territory, so she was the ideal candidate to send. The other part was to request help from Guild Headquarters. We had no idea whether or not all CPU attacks were ineffective against it, therefore we needed to account for the possibility Neptune would not be able to do damage to it. While in the process, finding put for sure if our hypothesis was correct."

Lan: "You then requested for the guild's top agent to take on the quest, under the guise of a C rank quest. That way, you could aid Neptune while keeping the public from panicking over the fact there could be a monster beyond the abilities of the CPU to handle. In turn, this would minimize or eliminate the possibility of losing shares for the CPUs."

Histoire: "You truly don't miss a single detail. You bring honor to your title as King. It is as you say, I made the request immediately with all of those intentions in mind.

Neptune: "I even went and used Next Form against it, my attacks were super ineffective! I felt like someone hacked it's stats! At that moment, I was really hoping I had a continue."

Lan: "That's when I came in...and finished it in a single blow."

Vert: "(A single blow...!)"

Lan: "The strange part was how it vanished. It just turned into energy and well...it almost looked like it evaporated. I had no way to claim my reward without a trophy. That's when Neptune explained she was the CPU. I picked up my reward and was curious about the situation on a whole. So, I asked to speak with Histoire and that lead us to this moment."

Blanc: "It's curious as to why your attacks will work against it, but we don't have enough information to draw any conclusions."

Histoire: "That is correct. As of right now, reports are starting to flood in across Gameindustri. Several teal monsters have started to appear in various locations in each nation. What I purpose, is that everyone return to their respective nations and access the current situations. Meanwhile, I will send Lan to where I feel he is needed most. This will give you all time to reflect on your personal feelings as well as keep you all separated for the most part until some kind of change has occured with how you all are affected by the genetic presence.

Noire: "That works for me. This day isn't even half over and I'm exhausted."

Vert: "Yes, we've taken in alot of information today and now we have this new unknown threat. Some personal time would do us all some good. What about you Blanc? Rom and Ram do not seem to be in the best condition."

Blanc: "I'm going to take them back to Lowee and let them rest for awhile. Once they're conscious and capable again, I'll fill them in on the current situation on both accounts."

Nepgear: "Oh dear...I almost forgot! We'll have to let Uzume know what's going on right away. Especially with the appearance of Lan."

Neptune: "She's out with Big Me and Umio doing some kind of S rank quest. I really hope that explanation happens off screen. That would be alot of text boxes."

Histoire: "You need not worry about Uzume. I have told her of the CPU King, many decades ago. She knows full well what his appearance signifies."

Lan: "I think this generally goes without saying, but for the time being...I will only use my CPU form in emergency situations. Atleast until I find a way to resist the personality changes. I'm fairly confident in my strength in this form anyway."

Blanc: "We certainly don't need any more visits from the Perv King."

Neptune: "If Perv King shows up again, Noire might go on the prowl again and try to devour him.

Noire: "Neptune...if you keep bringing that up I'm going to KILL you!

Neptune: "Eep! Noire's going to devour me!"

Uni: "So it's decided then? We're all heading back?"

Histoire: "Yes. I shall get started on gathering the intel, on the exact locations of the monsters and then I will send Lan to each of you accordingly. I will warn you all now, it's best to act as support only until we figure out how the rest of you can deal damage to these monsters."

Vert: "I am curious about something. Now that he has proven himself to be the CPU King...he must reside in a Basilicom, does he not? If so, which one?"

Blanc: "There's no way in hell he's staying in Lowee's Basilicom. Rom and Ram couldn't handle being around him right now."

Noire: "After what happened here today (It was so embarrassing!)...I need a little me time. I have a lot to think about."

Uni: "I hate to admit it, but I gave in to his genetic presence to easily. I don't think it would be a good idea for him to stay in Lastation."

Vert: "I am the only CPU in Leanbox, would it not make sense for him to stay there? There is much less risk of something occuring."

Neptune: "Somehow, I seriously doubt that Vert. You seem the most content with this situation out of all of us."

Blanc: "Neptune actually made a good observation for a change. What's that all about Vert?"

Vert: "I do not have the slightest clue, how you have arrived at that conclusion. I'm simply trying to ensure the safety of my friends."

Noire: "That didn't sound very convincing..."

Histoire: "Lan will stay here. It is my job as a remnant of the era in which the -CPU King's Laws- were established. Sarcelle herself gave me this task, so I must watch over and guide Lan until he has successfully married and fathered a child."

Vert: "Planeptune has three CPUs. Chaos is sure to erupt quickly. Are you certain? My offer is standing."

Lan: "I appreciate it Vert, but I feel like Histoire is right. I stand the best chance of learning how to control my powers here. She would know best how to help me. Besides, I'll be staying with all of you at some point. We'll all have to do quests together to figure out what the deal is with these teal monsters.

Neptune: "It's settled! The throne of Sir Majesty shall be in Planeptune!"

Nepgear: "Oh goodness...I'm going to have to be extra careful. I have a feeling I was nearly as weak to the genetic presence as Uni."

Uni: "Hey! T-that wasn't my fault! Blame the Perv King over there!"

Histoire: "In any event, I officially bring this meeting to a close. I will start preparations to investigate immediately. It should take about three days. I will contact one of you then with details on your quest. Good luck to all of you and most of all, stay as support. Do not engage.

And so, the CPUs all went back to their respective nations. Each one with heavy thoughts, weighing on their minds. Can our CPUs figure out why the teal monsters have shown up and how to defeat them? Who will become the CPU Queen? Can they resist the genetic presence or will they fall victim to it? FInd out as you read through this story.

PROLOGUE -END

How do you all like my story? I had this idea brewing for awhile and decided it was time. Here's how it's going to work. I have the end scenario all figured out. I know where this story is going. What I want from you all, are votes. This story will have stories within it. Each surrounding Lan and a particular CPU. You vote in who you want to read about and I'll roll out a chapter. I have those scenarios planned out as well, but I will need to make minor changes depending on the order selected. Who Lan interacts with and how it affects the timeline of the story is up to you.

Example...if Lan were to say start with going on a quest with Nepgear, there may be some awkwardness or perhaps some action that wouldn't be there had he not done a quest with Nepgear if he were to say do a quest with Uni second and Uni and Lan, ran into Nepgear. Uzume WILL be part of this story. Her scenario is planed to the letter, no worries Uzume fans. You guys vote now and I'll have a story up in no time. For future reference, a character story will have more then one chapter. So, choose wisely. The CPU choosen will be locked in for awhile. Also I will post affection points as the chapters progress. You will get an idea how the CPUs feel about Lan in the current time frame. The max is of course, 10,000

Vote now though PM! Polls are open for 2 days.

Hope you like my story! It's going to be a LONG one. I plan to dive into the phyche of each CPU as they each internally struggle. Lemons are definitely happening. This is a 18+, M rated story. Be warned.
