Conton Diaries

Chapter 1: Out Of The Rabbit Hole

-Gamindustri Graveyard- A young man with silver and black hair styled in stripes on his head stood in front of a raging storm that was happening around him as a being shrouded in darkness hovered in front of him, surrounded in a thick black cloud of pure negative energy. The boy didn't seem the slightest bit afraid of the display of overwhelming power. In fact… He was surrounded in a rainbow aura himself that expanded into a thick rainbow cloud around him. He wore a green cloak over a rainbow colored shirt and jeans, green sneakers, and a gold locket necklace around his neck.

"CPU Candidate… I will not fall to the likes of you! Not now… Not ever!" the shadow roared as the negative energy expands even more. The boy smirked and took a fighting stance.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that… I have the faith and prayers of the people of Gamindustri on my side. As well as the blessings of the other Goddesses with me… As well as my own power to boot. You don't stand a chance, Deity Of Sin," he said confidently as he glared at the shadow, "You lost your shell in our earlier bout when I had Nepgear at my side. Now, you are just a husk… You lost."

"You know full well that I will not quit! Not until Gamindustri is destroyed and all your people are dead!" the Deity Of Sin yelled, "You having the others leave you like this was foolish!" The boy looked down and smiled.

"You don't understand them like I do… They left because I told them to leave. I am fully aware that I won't survive today. But!" he said as he raised his head up with his green eyes burning with green embers, "I don't intend to die alone here! I will bring you to the depths of hell with me! This place… My sacrifice… It will all be remembered. Remembered as the final battle for world peace… And, that is an ending I will work for!" The boy clapped his hands together and closed his eyes.

"With this blessing I bestow upon Gamindustri, let the will of the people course through this hellish wasteland! Purge the evil away so that no one can call upon it! To this, I call upon this spell!" The boy called as he held his clasped hands above his head.

"That enchantment… But, how?!" the Deity Of Sin gasped in horror.

"To the CPUs of the past and present! And, to the ones of the future… I bring my full potential! Go forth and inspire! JUDGEMENT ECLIPSE!" the boy chanted as he opened his hands and held them above his head. A brilliant rainbow light shot up into the sky and created a large pillar of light that lit up the darkened sky. The shadow looked on in fear as the boy threw both arms down with a mighty roar. The pillar rained down hundreds of spears at the figure and collided with the figure, creating a brilliant explosion that trapped the figure in its light. He panted as the figure vanished in the light with a terrified and agonizing scream. When the light and the figure disappeared, the boy fell forward to the ground as his form changed. His shirt was now green and torn to shreds, his pants had several holes and tears on it, he had blood trailing down his chin and left side of his head, and his left arm was completely bloody. The ruins around him started to collapse as the boy slowly began to lose consciousness. He noticed the locket laying out beside him on the right side. He slowly grabbed it and opened it up to see a photo of him and a girl with long lilac purple hair sitting in a photo booth, both smiling cutely. The girl was hugging the boy tightly while the boy had his chin on top of the girl's head. The boy smiled weakly as his eyes began to dull.

"Nepgear… I did it. I won… But, I guess I can't make it to you now… I can barely move a muscle… I guess this is finally where I die… I wish I had the chance to say… I love you…" he said softly as the ruins around him began to collapse more fiercely, "I wish… We had... More time…" He passed out and the locket fell from his hand and clicked against the ground as it lands on the ground. Then, a bright white light appeared in front of him and a mysterious ship lands in front of him. A man with lavender purple hair leaps out of the machine and lands beside the boy. He picked the boy up and slung him over his shoulder. He leaps back into the ship and it disappeared into the white light as the ruins explode in that instant.

-Several Days Later; Mysterious Lab- The boy from before began to awaken from his slumber as he floated up and down in a large tube filled with a bluish green liquid. He was only wearing a pair of black boxers as a brown tail swished behind him. He tried to get his bearings as he looked around.

"Where… Am I? Is this… Celestia? Or… Is it another part of the Graveyard no one knew about?" the boy wondered as he slowly raised his hands to the glass. Then, the sound of a door opening was heard in the distance.

"I am telling you, Nami… This boy is phenomenal! He has so much power… I am surprised he is still kicking!" a male voice called as a young man with short white hair walked in with a young woman with long messy black hair that went past her shoulders. The boy wore a white lab coat with a black dress shirt underneath and blue jeans that were slightly ripped at the knees as well as black boots. The woman wore a red jean jacket over a blue tank top, black shorts with black tights underneath, and blue tennis shoes with white shoelaces tied on them. The woman also had emerald green eyes and the boy had red eyes.

"Look, Crain… I get your point. But, as I said before… I don't do pupils," the woman named Nami said as she looked at the boy, "Now, how did he get here?"

"Trunks brought him here… While on a test run with the Universe Machine Mk. 1," he said as he walked over to the tube where the boy was floating in, not noticing that the boy was awake, "He was worse for the wear. All bruised up and bloody in some places… Kinda reminds me of Vanity Phoenix in a way… Always into something." The boy perked up at the mention of the name Phoenix. He tapped on the glass, shocking the 2 beings as they turned to the tube.

"He is awake?! You said he would be out for a whole 2 weeks!" Nami said in shock. Crain shook his head in disbelief as the boy points to the breathing mask on his face.

"You want out?" Crain asked as he looked at him. The boy nods his head and looked around. Crain walked over to a control panel and pulled a switch upwards. The green liquid drained out of the bottom of the tube and the boy pulled off the mask from his face after all the liquid drained from the tube. He gasped and panted as he stared at the 2 beings. He then noticed the tail that was swaying side to side behind Nami.

"Are you… Like me?" the boy asked as he continued to take deep breaths.

"You mean Sayain? Yeah… How are you a Sayain?" Nami asked him as she looked at him. Crain hands a large blue towel over to the boy and the boy takes the towel to wrap it around himself.

"Okay… What is your name?" Crain asked the boy.

"Bradley… Bradley Phoenix," he breathed out as he looked at Crain, "You said Vanity Phoenix… Who is she?"

"The savior of Toki-Toki City, of course! She is my hero!" Crain smiled as he hops up to his feet, "Er… Maybe we should explain more."

"You see, you aren't in the same place as you were before. You are in a different universe than before. This is the rift in Universe 7… A place called Conton City," Nami explained as she nods her head, "The place I mentioned before, Toki-Toki City… Was destroyed in an accident created by several denizens of the Demon Realm." Nami went on to explain the lore of that world to Bradley while Bradley was led to a small room.

"I think I understand now…" Bradley said as he hands the towel back over to Crain, "So, this Time Patrol… How much trouble do you encounter at once?"

"You would be surprised… Not many of us are into the battle scene," Crain said as he tossed the towel into a wastebasket, "I am one of the medical staff as well as the head scientist of the Time Patrol. Anything that involves science or biology, I am already 2 steps ahead of it!"

"He isn't lying…" Nami said as she looked at him, "Any questions so far?" Bradley looked down and then looked back up at Nami.

"Yeah… It's about Vanity Phoenix. Did she have any family?" Bradley asked her.

"Why the sudden interest?" Crain asked as he looked at her.

"Well… I have 5 other siblings with the last name being Phoenix. I just want to know if she knew her parents' names," Bradley said as he got to his feet, "But, first… Is there a place where I can go to get some clothes?"

"Already on it. Got you some gi you can wear for now," Nami said as she hands him a handful of neatly folded clothes. He takes them and puts them on. He was now wearing a variant of Training Temple Gi with the colors being orange and green and a pair of black fingerless gloves and armbands. He stretched his body and jumped up and down.

"Well? How does it feel? Good?" Nami asked him curiously.

"A little on the heavy side…" Bradley said as he looked at her, "What is this?"

"Weighted clothing… It helps martial artists break their limits," Nami said, "At first glance, you don't look like much. But, I can sense your power level. You are pretty strong for not having proper training. Let me guess… Whenever you faced a threat, you just jump right in without a plan." Bradley flinched and scratched the back of his head.

"Read me like a book…" Bradley mumbled as he looked down.

"Since you are a Sayain… Do you know how to go Super Sayain?" Nami asked him curiously.

"Up to Level 2… But, nothing else," Bradley said as he looked back up at her.

"Well, you ain't too far off… How well can you control both forms?" Nami asked him as she circled around him.

"I can pretty much control Level 1 to an extent… But, I can barely control Level 2," Bradley explained as he looked at Nami.

"So, Teen Gohan level power… Moldable and doable," Nami smirked, "By the time you leave this place, you will be stronger than even Goku by the Beerus battle. Maybe even more…"

"?" Bradley didn't respond.

"Also… Your silver and black hair. Were you born with it?" Crain observed as he held a clipboard in one hand and a red pen in the other hand.

"No… It was all black when I was born. It's actually a silvery white, like my mother's white hair," Bradley told him, "When I was traveling around my world with my friends and girlfriend, it gradually became this way. I kinda like it like this." Crain wrote the info down on the clipboard.

"What are you doing?" Nami asked Crain sternly.

"Err… Taking notes?" Crain said sheepishly as he shrunk under Nami's gaze. Nami rolled her eyes and shook her head in annoyance.

"Don't mind Crain. He is a bit cuckoo in the head sometimes," Nami told Bradley, "I better inform the Supreme Kai Of Time and Elder Kai that you are awake."

"Can I come with you? I want to explore," Bradley said, "If what you say is true… I better get used to my surroundings."

"Good idea. He could be of great use in the future," Crain said to Nami.

"All right, kid. Just stay on my ass and do not leave my sight. Conton City is huge," Nami told him as she turned around.

"Can't miss it," Crain muttered as he watched Bradley and Nami leave the lab.

-Conton City; Downtown Area- Nami and Bradley walked around the large bustling city, passing by nearby Time Patrollers and shop owners. A man with pale skin was carrying a set of large brown boxes when he passed by Nami and Bradley.

"Ah, Ms. Hildred! Perfect timing… Could you be a doll and help me carry these to my shop? It'll only take a second," the man said as he looked over at her.

"Know what? Wait here, kid. I will be right back," Nami said as she went over to the man, "Fry, you know you can't carry those many boxes! Why even bother?!" She took a few boxes away from the man and held them effortlessly in one hand.

"Whoa…" Bradley muttered as he watched the female Sayain help the middle aged man carry the boxes over to a large orange building.

"Hi there! Are you new around here?" a girl's voice called to him. Bradley looked around and saw a young female Majin skip up to him. She had bubblegum pink skin with short and wavy hair with a few loose bangs hanging in front of her face, red eyes hiding behind a pair of red rimmed glasses, and wore a variant of the Buu-Gi Gravity suit with the colors corresponding as blue, pink, and red. She also wore a pair of red fingerless gloves over her hands.

"Uhh… Yeah. I am just waiting on someone," Bradley said as he rubbed the back of his head, "Who are you?"

"My name is Mami! Nice to meet you!" she giggled as she held out her hand. Bradley shook her hand and smiled back.

"Bradley is my name," he told her.

"Cute name," Mami told him with a smile, "Who were you waiting on?"

"Well, at least you follow orders. Who is your new friend?" Nami called as she walked back over to him while dusting off her hands.

"My name is Mami! I am a student at the Time Patroller Academy!" she smiled as she nods her head, "Is he your student? Little brother?"

"More like pupil… Yeah," Nami said as she nods her head, "You are a little too hyper."

"Sorry… I was born a little more hyper than most of my family," Mami told Nami as she bowed to her, "So, how did you 2 meet?"

"Not too long ago, actually…" Nami admitted.

"I just woke up from a healing chamber," Bradley told the Majin. Mami looked at Bradley in surprise.

"You were in a healing chamber?! What did you do?" Mami asked excitedly. Nami looked away and cleared his throat.

"We better get you registered in the Time Patroller Academy as soon as the tour of the city is done," Nami interrupted as she placed a hand on Bradley's right shoulder.

"Ok. Umm... Where should we go next?" Bradley asked Nami.

"Ooh! I can help with that!" Mami told him as she nods her head, "Follow me!" Mami took him by the hand and pulled him into a random direction. Nami sighed and shook her head.

"Better follow them before they get into trouble," Nami muttered as she follows behind them. Then, a dark shadow appears from behind a building and watches the CPU Candidate, Majin, and Sayain walk off.

"…Interesting. He is here, as well? I will have to inform Towa about this," the figure said as it shrunk behind the building and called forth a black hole in front of itself. It disappeared into the portal and the portal disappeared.

-Demon Realm- The portal opened up and the figure walked out of the portal, closing it behind itself. The figure removed the cloak from its body to reveal a young man with dark brown hair and blood red eyes. He wore a variant of the Metamorean Clothing with the top being colored blood red and pitch black and pants being black and red as well. He was also very muscular and had a black monkey tail swishing out behind him. He continued to walk through the ruined city until he came up to a woman with white hair and red eyes holding a staff in front of her. She wore a red top with black lines curving down her breasts, almost like a pattern, red and black tights with a rear cape hanging down behind her, and red heels.

"Ah, Hirac… Anything to report?" the woman asked as she looked at him as the boy knelt down and bowed to her.

"My lady, the one known as Bradley Phoenix… He is awake," Hirac told the woman. The woman smirked and twirled her staff.

"Good. Mira is almost fully healed. As soon as he is ready, we will wreak havoc on the Time Patrol once again," she told the boy, "You have been a great help to me, Hirac. I intend to reward you with more power than before." She held out her staff and a dark aura surrounds Hirac. He laughed evilly as his power increased dramatically.

"Thank you, my lady! I will not fail you!" Hirac called as his hair turned golden and spiked upwards while the dark aura expands outward.

"Now… Train. I want you at your peak to destroy the Time Patrol," Towa told Hirac.

"Yes, my lady!" Hirac called as he flew upwards into the sky, "Now, who shall be my first victim?"

-An Hour Later; Conton City- Bradley, Mami, and Nami stopped as they came to a large 3 story building. Nami opened the front doors to the building and went in after Mami and Bradley went in. They were greeted by a large foyer with a mile high ceiling with a large glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling. They walked up to a front desk where a young male with short red hair was sitting behind the desk. He looked up at the e martial artists and smiled warmly.

"Welcome to the Conton Suites! How may I help you?" he asked them.

"I got a room prepared for my pupil. First 3 months rent is already paid," Nami said to the man as she nods her head.

"Whose name is it under, if I may ask?" the man asked her.

"Well… It is under Bradley Phoenix," Nami said as she looked at the man.

"One second, please…" he said as he typed into his laptop.

"You already got me a room?" Bradley asked in a confused tone.

"Well, Trunks and I paid for it mainly…" Nami said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"So cool!" Mami giggled as she looked at Nami, "Taking care of your pupils like this…"

"What else am I gonna do, let him fend for himself? No, he will be fine here," Nami smiled.

"Excuse me. I have the room key for Bradley Phoenix right here," the male said kindly as he held out a blue keycard to Bradley. Bradley took the card and looked at it. There was an insignia of a C and an S on the front of the card.

"Just wave that in front of the doorknob and open the door after you hear a click," the man told Bradley.

"Okay. Thanks!" Bradley smiled as he nods his head.

"Meet me here tomorrow and we will discuss your new training regimen," she said as she looked at him, "For now, enjoy your stay and welcome to Conton City." Nami waved as she walked off. Bradley nods his head and Mami smiled as she turned to the exit.

"I better get home… Mama and Papa are gonna be worried if I don't get home by 6," Mami said as she looked back at him, "I will see you later, okay? Toodles!" Mami rushed off and Bradley looked at the card.

"I am a long way out of the rabbit hole…" Bradley sighed as he shook his head, "Nepgear… Vert… Everyone… I wish I can see you all again."

(All righty, my people! This story is another Bradley story! This will be a story of what happened in between A Shade Of Green And Purple and The Hope Of Zero! Never thought you would hear those 2 names again, huh? Well, they are part of my universe of Hyperdimension Neptunia, after all! However, in this story… I am gonna accept a certain amount of OCs this time. Because I am working on this and DBSA at the same time… And, I gotta keep things fresh for you all! Also, I will be following the Xenoverse 2 plot loosely with some things from Hyperdimension Neptunia coming into play. So, let me know what you think! As always, SONIK OUT! A/N.)
