A small girl with a small purple dress, blonde hair, and blue eyes gazed upon the book she sat on as she read the contents to herself. She frequently checked to see if anything has happened to her saviors. The small girl's name was Histoire, a tome long forgotten by Gamindustri.
"Vert's powers has been copied it seems." Sighed Histoire as she tore her eyes from her book.
The room she was kept in was pitch black and the only light source that ever made itself known was her book when she looked in it and the entrance to the room which opened once in a blue moon. The tome had recently asked for Neptune, the CPU of Planeptune, to free her from this prison and in return, she would end the Console War, a war that had torn Gamindustri apart. As Histoire pondered on what she could possibly do to aid Neptune and her friends in finding her, she heard a creak behind her. She turned to look and saw an all too familiar witch standing in front of her. Histoire stared at this witch, she was a light purple color with her hair being of a darker shade of it and a black suit went around her which exposed upper parts of her body and stomach. The witch's red eyes pierced through Historie. This witch was the tyrannical being known as Arfoire.
"I see you have been busy, Histoire" Arfoire stated as she walked towards the tome. "Getting that brat to help you"
"I did no such thing," Histoire replied. "I can't do anything due to you imprisoning me."
"Tsk, it doesn't matter," the witch sighed. "I copied the powers of a CPU, my next plan can finally begin…"
Histoire jumped as she heard the witch say this. While Histoire was browsing the book for news of Neptune and the location of the remaining key fragments she needed to be freed, she read of Arfoire's plan to recreate a new being. This being would rival the CPU's power and strength. CPUs are born and gain their powers from shares, the will and belief of their people towards their goddess. Arfoire now having this power copied could make her own. Arfoire planned on creating a new CPU, not one that uses faith from the people, but one that uses fear instead.
"You may not be able to end Gamindustri, but I know that you can birth new CPUs." Arfoire Sneared as she got closer to Histoire as she pulled out a glowing red crystal known as an anti-crystal.
Arfoire grabs the arm of the tome and places the crystal into her small hand. Histoire winced in pain as Arfoire forced her to create a new sharacite for this new CPU. Arfoire watched in utter glee as the tome that refused to comply went through the agonizing process of creating the catalyst for the end of Gamindustry. Histoire soon let go as the crystal, glowing an even more eerie shade of red, as it was torn from her grasp and went towards the center of the room as it rotated at rising speeds. A red beam suddenly took next to the sharacite which blew dust around the room along with pushing back Histoire, flipping through multiple pages on the tome's book, and nearly toppling the witch.
When the dust and beam cleared, a man stood in the room with them. This man looked around 17 years old standing at 5'7 with red messy hair, purple eyes, red claws that looked similar to that of Neptune's CPU form, and wearing a red and orange skintight bodysuit. The suit missed a few areas over his stomach which exposed his abs along with his legs. The man stared at the two of them as they stared back.
"Huh, guess this CPU is similar to all the others. They have no shame when it comes to exposing their chests and stomach..." Arfoire scoffed as she looked at the CPU in front of her.
Histoire opened her mouth to say that Arfoire had exposed the upper breasts and her stomach, but decided not to due to the presence of this new CPU at her command.
"You, tell me your name immediately!" Arfoire demanded as she raised a finger to point at the man.
"My name is Red Heart, the CPU of…" Red Heart volume went down as he realized that he did not know nation he was supposed to rule over. He looked to Arfoire with a questioning look, "What nation do I belong to?"
"Pha, we have no time for silly things such a nation." Arfoire scoffed at this question from the man. "You serve ME, and I say that you need no nation for your task"
Red Heart stared at Arfoire with a determined look and nodded. "What task do I need, Master" Red Heart sarcastically threw up air quotes at the word master. "Why should I follow yo-" Red Hearts speech was soon cut off by a horrid pain in his chest as he gasped for air. He fell to the ground with a thud and clutched his heart in an attempt to breathe.
"You follow me because I will end you if you dare to disobey me!," Arfoire Replied as her eyes pierced through Red Hearts very soul.
"V-Very well…" Red Heart panted as the pain from his chest subsided.
Red Heart then stood up and realized that this witch was his master and he could only obey for the time being. While Red Heart was busy collecting himself, Arfoire reached in a bad that she had been stashing in the room and brought forward another crystal with an ominous purple color.
"I don't like when pigs talk back to me..." Arfoire muttered as a dark purple mist came from the crystal and crawled its way towards Red Heart.
"What is this stuff?!" Exclaimed Red Heart as it drew closer and started circling him. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!"
Red Heart's ear piercing scream shocked Histoire who could only sit and watch as this horrible scene unfolded. Red Heart slumped over soon after the mist subsided.
"Delusion…" Histoire muttered in horror as she sees Red Heart be consumed by this mist.
Delusion was similar to a drug, those who consumed it went insane and couldn't control themselves. Arfoire was using this delusion to control him and make him Arfoire's slave to destroy Gamindustri. The only way in which Histoire knew to counter delusion was share energy, but Red Heart did not have share energy. Red Heart was a CPU that used anti-energy, the complete opposite of shares. The Mist would control him as he possessed the opposite of a counter.
"Rise" Commanded Arfoire, and Red Heart obeyed without resistance.
Red Heart's eyes were now glowing a slight purple hue as they shined in the room. He marched towards Arfoire then stopped and saluted. He glanced around the room to get a good take on where he was. Those eyes soon sat on Arfoire after she started to issue another command to the CPU.
"What do you wish, my lady?" Red Heart questioned as he continued to stare at the witch without blinking.
"Find and kill Neptune, the CPU of Planeptune, along with all who she associates with!" She ordered Red Heart as she handed him a sword.
Red Heart held the sword above him as to inspect it, a clean metal sword with a red and orange handle and crossguard. Red Heart could see his own reflection in it with a purple tint due to the light coming from his eyes.
"Very well, Arfoire, True Goddess," Red Heart said as he turned his eyes away from the sword and towards Arfoire. "What does this Neptune look like?"
"The brat has purple hair and wears an oversized pink hoodie. She has purple eyes and looks like a child." Arfoire spoke with a hint of disgust and anger in her voice as she recalls the same childish CPU that had defeated her already. "She can transform like you, so you must be on the lookout and be prepared for anything. Purple Heart has longer and darker purple hair along with a revealing chest, you will know when you see that brat. They were last at Leanbox, the nation rules by Green Heart."
Red Heart nodded silently as he turned around and marched away towards Leanbox to find Neptune and her friends. Histoire could only sit in horror as this Anti-CPU went forth to destroy Neptune, and then all of Gamindustry.
"Heh…" Arfoire could only chuckle and laugh to herself as the new CPU, the Corrupted Patron Unit, would soon go out and kill Neptune. She followed the CPU to tell him the remaining details and left Histoire to wait for Neptune to find another key fragment so she could warn her of the new threat coming for her.
Planeptune's was abuzz with activity as many people went through the streets, looking for a store or for someone to spend their time with. Kids were playing in the park, couples on benches enjoying the day, and families having a picnic. A man though did none of this. This man was about 5'3, had scruffy black hair, wore a red jacket and pants, and had purple eyes. This man was known as Red Heart, but he decided to disengage his HDD form to blend in.
"I should have asked Arfoire for directions…" Sighed the young man as he glanced around, looking for Neptune.
"Are you okay, nyu?" called a voice behind him. He quickly turned around to see a small girl much shorter than him with brown hair and eyes along with yellow cat ears on her head. "You look lost, nyu."
"I er…" the man had no interactions with anyone, so for someone to ask him something came a real shock to him. "Y-Yes, I am a bit lost right now." Replied the man as he looked down at the girl. "C-Could you tell me where a girl name Neptune is, she looks like a child, has purple hair and eyes with a oversized hoddie? She is about this tall, and I was also told she would be in Leanbox." He held out his hand about 4'10 off the ground as to give the other girl a gauge on how tall this Neptune was.
"You really are lost nyu…" Sighed the girl," who even are you, nyu?"
"I'm...I'm...I'm…" The man stuttered. "What's my name!?" The man screamed in his head as he tried to come up with a name. "I'm...William…" He finally said.
"Okay, nyu. This nation is Planeptune, and not Leanbox so you really are lost, nyu…" Sighed the girl while sweat dropping at William's basic understand of nations," I'm Broccoli, nyu. You should check the Basilicom, nyu."
"Right, where is that?" William asked as he raised an eyebrow at never getting his original question answered
"Over at the big building there, nyu." Broccoli replied as she pointed towards the biggest building in sight which towered over everything else. "Go down this street and take a right, nyu."
"Thanks, Broccoli." William thanked her as he turned to go towards the building. "I thought Arfoire said this world was evil, so why was that girl so nice when master told me that the people in this world were heartless. Why did she help me?" Ethan pondered to himself as he went towards the Basilicom. "It matters not, I follow Arfoire and no one else," William reassured himself this was normal and opened the doors to the Basilicom to find Neptune.
