Gamindustri. A world which exists outside of our reality, where four CPUs also known as goddesses protect and rule above a nation.
Planeptune, the Land of Purple Progress, ruled by the goddess Purple Heart.
Lastation, the Land of Black Regality, ruled by the goddess Black Heart.
Lowee, the Land of White Serenity, ruled by the goddess White Heart.
Leanbox, the Land of Green Pastures, ruled by the goddess Green Heart.
In the past, Gamindustri had been exposed to threats such as the Deity of Sin, the CPU hailing from the ancient civilization of Tari and the appearance of Kurome Ankokuboshi. But thanks to the efforts of the four CPUs and their allies, peace was once again maintained.
However, a new development is to take place. Four individuals living in the planet that we call Earth have been sent to Gamindustri. This young group, comprised of three boys and one young man, will travel across the four nations and experience the wonders that each of them holds.
Now, it's time to start the adventure!
"Mmm…" Shia Murasaki, a soft spoken fifteen year old high school student, groaned as he opened his eyes. The young boy did not know how long he had passed out. Waking up at a forest path lined with trees on the left and right, he slowly got up and sat on the ground. Upon closer inspection of his features, Shia has light purple eyes and a matching shade of hair with messy bangs. He wears a purple T-Shirt with black rims and a white gamepad-shaped symbol printed on it. Shia also dons a pair of long grey pants along with lilac and white sneakers.
"What happened?" Shia said to himself softly. "Where is this?" Turning to look around, he noticed three other unconscious males lying down next to him. They were his friends, classmates Murphy Edogawa and Jack Kurogane followed by college student Daniel Midoriya.
Murphy, called Shiro by his friends, is seventeen years old with slightly unkempt fawn colored hair and blue eyes. He wears a brown long-sleeved jacket lined with white fur and a cream colored T-shirt beneath it. Shiro also sports a pair of long brown pants matching his jacket and cotton shoes dyed in hues of black and orange. Apart from his appearance, Shiro's most distinguishing feature is his accent which resembles Eddie Murphy's.
The second of Shia's friends, Jack, is a sixteen year old who likes weapons. He has short black hair with spiky bangs and red eyes. His clothing consists of a black long-sleeved jacket, white T-shirt and dark denim pants matching the jacket. For footwear, Jack sports a pair of grey and white sports shoes. In addition, he wears a black cap with a red and white box containing the word "OBEY" sewn on it.
Lastly, there was Daniel. A twenty year old young adult with a gentlemanly demeanor, he has short and neat blonde hair as well as blue eyes. Daniel wears a dark green shirt and a pair of long brown pants coupled with matching brown leather shoes. Being the oldest of the four males, he appears to be the most mature among them.
As Shia began to wake his friends up, he thought about the current situation. The last thing he remembered was him and his companions hanging out at their home in the U.S. Then, all four of them were dragged into what appeared to be a swirling spiral coming from out of nowhere. The next thing they knew, the group had been flung into this forest from several feet above and crashed in there.
"Guys, are you alright?" Shia moved from one of his friends to another. "Please wake up,"
"Uggh…" Shiro brought himself up to sit on the ground. Jack and Daniel followed suit. Rubbing the back of his head, Shiro looked around his surroundings and said, "Man, what just happened? And where the heck are we? This ain't the U.S., is it?"
"Doesn't look like it to me," Jack shook his head and groaned. "Oof, my head hurts. That was quite the fall we had,"
"Indeed," Daniel stated. "More importantly, we should find out where we have ended up in,"
"That's right," Shia glanced at both sides of the path everyone was on. "Although, there doesn't seem to be any clues on where we are at the moment,"
"Then, let's go find us some clues," Shiro stood up on his feet. Humorously, he added, "Seriously though, am I the only thinking this is like Jumanji? What with how there's four of us in a jungle?"
"I believe we are in a forest, Shiro," Daniel smiled.
"Forest or jungle, let's move," Jack spoke as he stood up. "The sooner, the better,"
"Yeah, let's go," said Shia. He and Daniel then got onto their feet and walked down the forest path with Jack and Shiro. While walking, the group of four observed the environment around them. They could not help but marvel at the forest's lush greenery.
"I must say the trees here are quite beautiful," Daniel remarked.
"No kidding," said Shiro. "Makes you feel like you're in a nature reserve,"
"Hey, guys, check it out," Jack got everybody's attention by pointing at something from a short distance ahead. "It's a signpost,"
"So, it is. Let us examine it," At Daniel's words, the group quickly moved to the signpost and gathered in front of it. The sign was made of wood and stuck into the ground. Bringing his face close to it, Shiro started to read the words on the wooden post itself.
"Welcome to Virtua Forest. To exit into clearing, go straight ahead," Inching away from the sign, Shiro frowned. "Virtua Forest? What kinda forest has a name like that?"
"Is there even such a thing?" Shia asked curiously.
"Based on the existing forests in the world, that is highly unlikely," Daniel answered as he and his company continued walking onward. "For us to come across something that is non-existent can only mean one thing,"
"What is it?" Shia became curious once more.
"I do not why I am thinking this but, it would seem we have entered into another world,"
"What?!" Jack shot a look of disbelief at Daniel. "Are you serious?!"
"The thought crossed my mind," replied Daniel.
"Hold on a sec there, Daniel," It was Shiro's turn to look at Daniel. "Are you just playing around or did you hit your head a lil too hard when we crashed in here?"
"As strange as it sounds, that is likely to be the case," Daniel responded. "For reasons that I cannot ascertain, this was the first thing that came to my thoughts,"
"Huh. That is strange," Jack moved his eyes upwards.
"Anyway, let's keep going. Maybe, we'll find out more about where we are once we're out of here-" When Shia was about to finish his sentence, he and his group heard a faint crashing sound from the distance. This prompted the four males to halt in their footsteps.
"Hey, you hear that?" Jack frowned.
"You ain't the only one hearing that, man," Shiro spoke.
"It appears to be coming from ahead of us," Daniel stated, his eyes focused on the front.
"Let's check it out," At Shia's suggestion, the four young men ran forward. They would soon reach the forest's clearing where something else is happening…
"Damn it! What's with these things?!" Lowee's CPU, White Heart, was swinging her axe around repeatedly. The goddess clad in white was knocking away a swarm of Dogoos that bounced up to her. Earlier, she and the other CPUs of Gamindustri were at Planeptune's Basilicom playing a game together. It was then that they were alerted of a massive Dogoo horde gathered at a clearing in Virtua Forest. The four goddesses accompanied by IF and Compa headed there to engage them.
Normally, Dogoos are weak enemies that are easily dispatched with a single or few hits depending on which breed they are. However, the Dogoos that the CPUs, IF and Compa are battling differed from the standard ones. No matter how many times they were cut, beaten or squashed, they did not vanish into pixels. Rather, they reformed themselves from their slimy remains and resumed their attacks after doing so. In short, these Dogoos could regenerate-A fact that surprised the CPUs and their companions.
"They just keep coming!" Black Heart, the goddess dressed in black, slammed a Dogoo into the ground with her sword. "And since when were Dogoos able to revive-Ah! Get off me!" A Dogoo latched onto Black Heart's arm prompting her to shake it off. Soon, she and the rest were huddled into a circle, their backs against each other's. The Dogoos surrounded them and despite having their usual happy faces, sounded as if they were taunting their enemies.
"Perhaps, they are using a cheat code to gain an advantage," Green Heart, whose outfit was the most revealing among the CPUs', said in a half-joking manner. "At any rate, this is quite the problem,"
"Any ideas on how to beat them, then?" IF asked as she brandished her katars.
"If we can find out what's making these Dogoos revive, we will have the advantage. Until then, we must hold out for as long as we can," Purple Heart, the goddess in purple, held her ornate katana firmly. Suddenly, the circle of Dogoos seemed to be moving away from the group.
"Ah! They're getting away!" Compa pointed out.
"No, they're not," True to IF's words, the Dogoos were converging towards a spot in front of everyone. Her eyebrows were lifted as she saw what happened next. "Wait, what's this?" To the group's surprise, the Dogoos were pressing into one another. Their forms melded and eventually grew into a humongous mass. In a few seconds, a gigantic Dogoo stood in front of everybody and let out a roar.
"DOGOOGOO!"
"What in the…?!" White Heart was astonished. "Those Dogoos turned into a Giant Dogoo?!"
"How's that possible?!" IF exclaimed.
"Everyone, be careful! This enemy is clearly different from what we have encountered-" No sooner had Purple Heart finished her sentence, the Giant Dogoo leapt up into the air right above the group. All of a sudden, it plummeted down at a high speed.
"Wha-" IF was taken aback by the Giant Dogoo's speed.
"Iffy! Compa! Look out!" Instinctively, Purple Heart shoved IF and Compa out of harm's way. Before she could act further, the Giant Dogoo had already landed on the CPUs. A loud crashing sound was heard. IF and Compa watched in shock as a huge cloud of dust emerged at where the CPUs stood.
"Nep!" IF shouted.
"We're here," Daniel said to his friends. The four young males had reached the clearing and hid in a bush. From there, they could not believe what they were seeing. At the center of the clearing was what appeared to be a large blue blob with dog-like features. Next to it were two girls, a brunette in a huge blue trench coat and a pink-haired girl wearing woolly clothes. The duo seemed to be the repeatedly hitting the blob with a pair of katars and an oversized syringe respectively.
"Good Lord," Shiro commented on the scene. "What did we just walk right into?" Right when he finished, Shia noticed something within the blob.
"Are those… people in there?" Shia's question made his company pay attention to the blob. True enough, inside it were four women dressed in outfits resembling swimsuits or bodysuits. Each of them was dyed in their respective color schemes mainly purple, black, white and green. Shia's group also noticed that the women had weapons and wore wings on their backs.
"What's going on here?" a curious Jack asked.
"I do not know," Daniel wore a serious expression on his face. "But, I have a bad feeling about this,"
"Come on, come on! Why won't it go through?!" IF was desperately trying to hack at the Giant Dogoo with her katars. Every hit however, only bounced off the monster's body. The same thing happened to Compa who poked the Giant Dogoo with her syringe. Inside the huge monster's transparent body were the CPUs, their limbs trapped by the Giant Dogoo's slimy interior. All of IF and Compa's efforts to free them were in vain due to the monster's rubbery body deflecting their attacks.
"Iffy, it's not working! What should we do?!" Compa was worried.
"We got to keep trying!" IF said briefly. She then called out to the CPUs, "Hang in there, Nep, everybody! We'll get you out!"
"Iffy, Compa, stay back!" Purple Heart cautioned. "This enemy is too dangerous for you two to take on alone!"
"Guh! What the hell's with this monster?!" White Heart struggled to free herself. "How can a bunch of Dogoos be this powerful?!"
"Well, this is unexpected," Green Heart said calmly. "And not to mention, troubling-" The CPU of Leanbox was startled by the Giant Dogoo leaping backwards. It then eyed IF and Compa intently as if it was preparing to pounce on them.
"W-What's it doing?" an uncertain Black Heart asked. Meanwhile, Shia's group was watching the battle. Their eyes were locked onto the Giant Dogoo.
"It would seem those people are trapped in that unknown creature of sorts," Daniel referred to the monster. "And those two girls were trying to help free them but, to no avail,"
"Hey, isn't that bad?" a concerned Jack said. Back at IF and Compa, the duo were wondering what the Giant Dogoo was doing.
"What's it up to now?" IF asked herself. At that moment, Purple Heart came to a sudden realization.
"Iffy, Compa, get away!" Purple Heart cried out. "It's going to attack-" Before she could finish, the Giant Dogoo jumped to IF and Compa swiftly. All watched in shock as the monster was about to close in on the two girls.
"Holy moly! They're gonna get squashed!" Shiro yelled out.
"We got to help them!" Shia sprinted out of the bush towards IF and Compa with Jack running alongside him.
"Whoa, hold on! Don't rush in without us!" Shiro said loudly as he and Daniel followed their two friends from behind. The distance in which the four males ran was not very far. Hence, they were able to reach IF and Compa right when the Giant Dogoo was about to hit them.
Swiftly, Shia and Jack dived towards IF and Compa respectively. Grabbing and holding onto the girls, the two boys rolled away to safety together with them. Simultaneously, Shiro and Daniel slid themselves across the ground to get off the Giant Dogoo's path quickly. The CPUs, IF and Compa stared at the newly arrived people in surprise. Seconds later, IF was lying sideways and facing Shia while Jack was on all fours above Compa. Shiro and Daniel stood next to their company watching the Giant Dogoo cautiously.
"Are you alright?" Shia asked IF gently.
"Uh… Yeah," IF responded with slight confusion.
"Hey, you okay?" Jack asked Compa.
"Um… Yes, thank you. But, who are you?" a confused Compa asked Jack.
"I'd ask you the same thing," Jack got off Compa. At the same time, Shia, IF and Compa got back on their feet. Soon, the males stood in front of the girls. All were now looking at the Giant Dogoo, now bouncing on the spot a short distance away from their side.
"Can someone tell me what's going on by the way?" Jack then asked.
"The CPUs are trapped by that monster," IF answered briefly. Glancing at the males curiously, she said, "By the way, who are you guys?" This made the males turn around to look at her.
"Uh… We're just a bunch o' guys who came into this place from out of nowhere?" Shiro replied with an uncertain tone.
"What do you mean 'out of nowhere'?" Now IF became more curious.
"Pardon me but, when you mentioned 'CPUs', are you referring to those women in that thing?" Referring to the goddesses, Daniel spoke to IF.
"Well, obviously. They're the goddesses of Gamindustri," IF frowned at Daniel.
"Wait, wait. Goddesses? Gamindustri? What are you talking about?" Jack turned confused.
"Huh? Could it be that you're not from here?" Compa asked.
"Save the chat for later, y'all! We got some people to save!" Shiro quickly spoke to everyone around him.
"Listen, I don't know who you all are but it's dangerous here," IF said to the guys firmly. "You need to stay back,"
"Girl, you got it the other way round," Shiro pointed at IF and Compa. "You and your girlfriend here should stay back while we guys handle this,"
"Are you crazy? Do you even know what you're saying?" Turning flustered, IF motioned to Compa and added, "A-And she's not my girlfriend!"
"Guys, can we focus on the matter at hand? We got to help those ladies over there!" Jack motioned one hand towards the Giant Dogoo.
"How are we going to do that?" Shia sounded unsure.
It would seem I'll have to step in.
"Huh?" To Shia's confusion, he and his friends heard a voice in their heads.
Do you truly wish to help them?
"W-What's going on?" Jack hurriedly glanced to his left and right. "Who's talking?"
"This voice… May I ask who you may be?" Daniel said to the invisible speaker.
I am afraid introductions will have to wait. For now, please take these. To the astonishment of all at Shia's side, a bright light emerged in between the guys and girls. The light died down, revealing four handheld terminal shaped devices paired with processor chips floating in front of the males. The paired objects had their own color schemes. Shia's was purple, Shiro's was white, Jack's was black and Daniel's was green. Apart from that, the front of the devices had a monitor and a small square shaped slot. In addition, a rectangular switch was embedded on each of their sides.
"Eh? What's going on?" a confused Compa asked.
"What are these?" IF gazed at the devices with wonder.
Now, use these to transform.
"Transform?" Jack became bewildered. "What are you talking about? And who are you?"
Again, that will have to wait. The voice spoke once more. If you desire to help those individuals, please use the items in front of you. They will provide you with the power to defeat that monster.
"Whoa, hang on. What's this? Did we just become Joan of Arc, listening to the voice of God or something?" As Shiro talked to his peers, IF and Compa stared at the guys in confusion.
Though your confusion is understandable, fear not. This power that shall be bestowed upon you will flow into your hands naturally.
"What do you mean by that?" Daniel's curiosity was piqued.
You will know soon enough. For now, please hurry. As to what transpires next, I shall guide all of you accordingly.
"Everyone," Shia looked at his peers. "I don't know what's going on but, let's take these things in front of us. Whatever happens, we'll cross the bridge when it comes to it,"
"I feel uncertain about this," Despite feeling a little doubt, Daniel said with affirmation, "But, I agree. If it can save those women, let us do as the voice says,"
"Sounds risky," Jack remarked. "But, I'm in,"
"Yeah, me too," Shiro said. "Cuz it's all for one and one for all, man,"
"Well, what're we waiting for?" Jack glanced at his peers and then to the devices. "Let's do this," After earning nods from his peers, the males took the devices and chips with their hands. The moment they did, something clicked in their minds. Subconsciously, they turned around and fixed their sights on the Giant Dogoo. This caught the attention of the CPUs as well as IF and Compa.
The males, devices in one hand, held them out. With the other hand, they inserted their chips into the terminals' slots. This led to the devices playing a short techno tune. Hearing it, the four pressed the switches by the side of their terminals. Once more, the devices played a techno tune albeit a different one. As the tune went on, white rings of data materialized around Shia and his three friends.
"Access!" the four males uttered. Each was then engulfed by a pillar of light. IF and Compa shielded their eyes from the light's intensity. The CPUs gazed at the sight while the Giant Dogoo, having stopped bouncing, was slightly taken aback. A few minutes later, IF and Compa looked back at the males. What they as well as the CPUs saw shocked them.
All four of the males' appearances changed drastically. They were donning bodysuits with short-sleeved jackets and short pants worn over them. The guys also had armor equipped mainly on their wrists and legs as well as wings on their backs. On top of that, the irises of their eyes now resembled power symbols.
Furthermore, the four guys' new forms had their own unique features. Shia's bodysuit was black with purple segments along it. His jacket, pants and armor were also purple and were traced with silver outlines. The wings on his back were mechanical and had silver segments on them. On a separate note, Shia's hair had turned spikier with some of the bangs hanging over his face.
For Jack, his bodysuit was grey and had black segments. His jacket, pants and armor were black and possessed white outlines. Also, Jack's wings were white and shaped like an X. His hair has grown longer as it covered his ears.
Next, Shiro donned a white bodysuit having blue segments on it. His jacket and pants were even white but, had red outlines. On Shiro's arms were white gauntlets resembling Wii nunchuks. The gauntlets as well as his leg armor had grey outlines. Floating behind Shiro was a grey and white controller shaped object that served as his "wings". Aside from this, Shiro's hair turned dark blue and was messier.
Finally, there was Daniel. He wore a white bodysuit with green segments on it. His jacket, pants and armor were green and possessed white outlines. Additionally, Daniel's hair had become green and spikier. As for his wings, they were comprised of two pairs of white squares joined together into a rectangle. Further to this, the two rectangular shaped wings had green outlines.
With that said, this marks the beginning of one thing.
The birth of four new warriors…
