"Heeeeyy! Noire! Hurry up!" Neptune shouted behind her as she sped down the forest path.
"You run to fast Neptune. Seriously, this was meant to be a day to ourselves. Why must you run off?" Noire scolded her, having caught up to Neptune.
"Awwww come on Noire. You love it. Chasing after me that is~." Neptune finishes with a wink directed towards Noire. After hearing that, a blush appeared upon Noire's face.
"Sh-shut up! A-anyway, shall we just set up here?" Noire says, looking around at the serene clearing the two found themselves in.
"Sure, sounds good to old Nep!" Neptune replied enthusiastically. Hearing her response Noire nods, reaching into the basket she was carrying around, and pulled out a blanket which she proceeded to set up on the ground beneath her.
"You know, you really do take your sister for granted Neptune. What with her making the sandwiches' and all." Noire said, taking said sandwiches' out of the basket and placing it to the side.
'Pfft, I didn't even ask her to. She just heard we were going out on a date and prepared them." Neptune said, taking a bit of the triangular shaped piece of bread in her hand.
"D-d-d-date!? W-we are just going out for a p-picnic!" Noire blushed again as she stuttered.
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say. It's not right for a CPU to stutter you know Noire?" Neptune teased Noire as she marveled in her blushing face.
"S-shut up Neptune! It's not like you can talk about being a CPU-" *ROAR* *CRASH*
""!"" Both goddess go on alert instantly. Well, Noire does, transforming to her HDD form.
"That doesn't sound like any monsters that should be here!" Black Heart says.
"Your right. But hey, who knows, it may just be a friendly monster why just wants to play." Neptune said, brushing it off.
All of a sudden, a giant spider like creature, taller than both goddess' combined, with lance-esque feet that pierce the ground whenever it walks, emerges from the tree line.
"That doesn't look too friendly Neptune!" Black Heart warns.
"Yikes! Noticed!" Neptune shouted as she barely dodged an attack from the spider-like creature.
"NEPTUNE!" Black Heart shouted towards her companion, making the crucial mistake of tearing her eyes from the creature in front of her.
"NOIRE LOOK OUT!" Neptune shouted towards her.
Turning her head, Black Heart managed to make out a slight outline of a lance shape coming towards her. Frozen she stared, as time seemed to slow down for her.
"NOOOIREEE-" *clang*
Hearing an unexpected sound, Neptune looked up…
…to see a figure dressed in black, blocking the lance shape with a sword just in front of Noire.
Noire stands, stunned. Suddenly, the next strike from the monster comes forward, and Noire goes tumbling backwards. Looking up, Noire sees that the figure in front of her had pushed her backwards and dodged out of the way, using the slightest movement possible. As the monster slammed its foot into the ground, the figure made use of its slight halt and dashed forward, faster than any of either of the two goddess could see. Re-appearing on the other side of the monster, the figure, now with its hood down from the sudden dash, sheathed its sword.
"What are you doing!? The monster is still stand-" Noire was interrupted as the monster suddenly fell down in front of her, with multiple gashes appearing on its body. Standing up, Noire approached the figure who still was still facing away from her and said,
"While I thank you for saving us, I must ask. Who are you? Or maybe what is the better question?"
The figure turns around, its long black hair that fades into purple flying in the wind. Looking towards her now, Noire gets a better look on his face.
"Oh, you're a boy!" Neptune suddenly said from directly behind Noire.
"GAH! Neptune, don't do that!" Noire shouted, seemingly frightened.
"Hmmm…?"Neptune hummed as she got a better look at the guy in front of her.
"Black overcoat, long black pants, black gloves, black boots, long black hair that is tipped purple. Are you by chance an Emo? I mean with your stoic face you could play it very well. Even your sword was black!" Neptune says to the guy.
"So, what's your name?" Noire asks him, having transformed back to her human form.
"… … …'k'." He said after a while.
"K huh? Interesting name. Tell me 'K', you fought like you know what that thing was. Is that true?" Noire askes him, easing into her soon-to-be barrage of questions. 'K' Simply nodded.
"Come on Nooirreee~, don't make him suffer through you barrage of questions. That's why you're a loner you know?" Neptune teased.
"I-I'm not a loner!" Noire (attempted to) defended herself.
"Sure, sure. Anyway, say 'K', as a repayment for helping us, why don't you come back to the basilicom, we have drinks and food!" Neptune invited friendly.
After thinking it through, 'K' accepts with a silent nod.
(Jump to Basilicom)
"We're Baaaacckkkk~" Neptune shouts, walking through the main upstairs door to the basilicom.
"Welcome back Neptune. I trust your outing was ok? Oh, who is that?" Histoire asks, turning her direction to 'K', who walked in behind Neptune.
"He says his name is 'K'. And he saved us." Noire calmly relays to Histoire.
"He did?" Histoire asks, stunned.
"Well you see…" Neptune trails off, recounting the day as it happened.
"I see. Well I must thank you 'K'. But, what were you fighting?" Histoire thanks and asks him.
"…they don't have a name. We just call them drainers because they will absorb the strength and powers of whatever they make contact with…" He replies, with a tired voice.
"But surely Neptune and Noire would have been safe, right?" Histoire asks him.
He shakes his head as he replies.
"No. They have a power within their bodies that makes them goddess'. If a drainer was to make contact with them, it would steal that power." Stunned, Noire stares at him.
"Th-that isn't possible."
"They are irrational beings. They follow no laws of physics, have no bindings to any terrestrial plain. Frankly speaking, they should not exist." He stated.
"But how do they then? You are saying all of this so calmly." Another voice pipes up. Turning to his right, 'K' sees a light browned haired, short statured girl sitting on the couch with a book in hand.
"…I do not know how they exist. I am calm because I have been fighting these things for years. I was taught to by the only other person who fought them. But she is dead now." He responded.
"I have a question," Noire starts, "You said you have been fighting them for years, correct?"
'K' nods.
"Well I, I don't know about the rest, but I haven't ever seen one of them before."
"…they aren't from this world. I do not know how they got here. That is why I am here." He replies.
"Well it certainly isn't the weirdest thing to happen to us." Histoire says.
"Pardon my interruption, but I do believe that we have yet to introduce ourselves. I am Vert, also known as CPU Green Heart. Goddess of the country of Leanbox." Vert says.
"I suppose we should, yes. I'm Noire. CPU of Lastation, Black Heart."
"Call me Nep! I'm the Goddess of the country you are in right now, Planeptune, CPU Purple heart!" Neptune says enthusiastically.
"I'm Blanc. CPU White heart, goddess of Lowee." Blanc says reserved.
"...'K'. My full name is Kaida." He says in response.
"Well, Kaida. Nice to meet you." Vert says.
"Hey Neptune, where is the basket?" A long, lavender haired girl asks.
"Oh, sorry Nep Jr, must have left it behind." Neptune says.
Nepgear looks down, appearing somewhat depressed about it.
"It's fine Neptune. After what happened, a basket of food wouldn't be the first thing on your mind." She says.
"…this it?" Kaida asks suddenly, holding a basket of food.
"Heeeyyy, that's the one. How'd you know?" Neptune asks.
"I saw you both with it in the clearing. I thought it was something you needed." He says.
"Thank you 'K'." Nepgear says, taking the basket.
"Oh, I'm Nepgear, Neptune's younger sister." She introduces herself.
'K' simply nods in response.
"Nepgear is the CPU-candidate of Planeptune. Noire and Blanc have sisters as well. If you stay with us for any period of time, you will most likely meet them." Histoire says.
"Is anyone hungry? Lunch is almost ready. 'K' would you like to eat? It's the least we can do as thanks for saving Neptune and Noire." Nepgear says.
Shaking his head, he replies, "…no thanks. But…do you have a piano?"
"No, we don't Kayo." Neptune answers.
"I have one in my room. But that is back in Lowee." Blanc speaks up.
Not replying, 'K' just looks confused.
"…Ka…yo…?" He says in disbelief.
"Oh that, I give all my friends cool little names. For instance, Nepgear is Nep Jr. and Histoire is Histy." She says overly-enthusiastically.
"Hey! What about me!?" Noire exclaims.
"Noire's a loner, don't mind her." Neptune waves her off.
"That's so mean Neptune."
"But is isn't a false statement to say you work a lot more." Vert pipes up.
"And shut us out." Blanc adds.
"I Don't want to hear that from you!" Noire retorts.
"This is why you don't have any friends Noire." Neptune says smugly.
…how did I get involved with these people?
