A/N I AM ALIVE, back and better ever. I promised you a continuation so here it is. Let's get started.
Chapter one: old life new beginnings
Over the course of the next few years after the world reset, things were back to normal.
The candidates had been born not even a year after the reset. Their first thoughts were of a boy named Eric.
Seven years later the CPUs and the purple candidate, Nepgear, were called to the Gamindustri Graveyard.
There they fought against ASIC... And sadly lost.
There in the depths of the graveyard a familiar face watches over the CPUs and the candidate.
He cares so much for them that he is using all of his energy to supply them with enough shares to keep them alive and unharmed.
Up high in the center of the land known as celestia, the previous goddess, Mist, resides.
She is watching, monitoring, the body of a boy floating in a ball of light.
He had long silver hair that covered one eye. Said hair had strands of black, whitish blue, green, purple, and red.
His eyes, although they were closed, she knew the color exactly. One was green with a black pupil, the other was purple with a white pupil.
He wore, what she would call his usual, a jet black zip-up hoodie, that was half zipped up, showing his white undershirt. Said undershirt had a red stripe in the center going pants with white stripes going down the sides. He wore purple fingerless gloves with a pair of matching purple boots. Finally he had a black chocker with a red pearl in the middle.
This boy is very dear to the one true goddess. Now there was one thing missing. His reason to live, his drive.
His fingers started to twitch. She knew it would be awhile, but he was waking up. Eric was waking up.
3 years later
As IF and Compa walked along the path they noticed a ball of ever changing light. It was weird but they decided to follow it as long as it stayed on the path the needed to be on.
"You are very close, they should be right ahead." The disembodied voice of Histoire spoke.
At this point the light had trailed off somewhere else.
When they reached the CPUs they were both shocked. The CPUs were tangled up by wires barely conscious.
"Nep-Nep, Ge-Ge!" Company cried getting no answer.
"Compa use the share crystal." IF instructed.
As she used it only Nepgear fell. They felt a rumbling in the distance.
It was CFW Judge. Once he showed up a fight ensued. Nepgear was losing.
"No, I'm gonna lose. Again." She cried, just then there was a flash of light.
2 minutes before.
"No! She's losing!" Eric cried. "I need to help her."
"Are you willing to give up everything to fight again. To help the ones you care about?" A femenin voice asked.
"I will do anything! Please just help me to help them." Eric pleaded.
"So be it. Take the sword in front of you." As the voice said that a sword appeared right before him.
The sword had a purple, green, black, and white multicolored blade. The grip was red. From the very bottom, what looked like a red dragon wing and a blue angel wing sprouted from it.
They went up, and crossed each other to form a circle where the hand would fit. After they crossed, the wings pointed skyward and ended where the blade began.
As he took the sword Eric heared a voice in his head. "I am Celestoire, the time of balance. Now let us begin."
As the voice said that there was a flash of light.
As the flash ended, the boy that Mist was monitoring was standing there, holding the multicolored sword, now known as Celestoire. He also had Nepgear over his shoulder.
"Get her out of here. Once I'm done I'll meet you at the entrance." Eric said.
Compa not knowing who he was, thought his voice sounded familiar. Nevertheless, she and IF took Nepgear from him and departed.
"OK ugly, now its just you and me." Eric said, venom dripping gfrom his voice.
"Oh-ho. So it is true. Mist did find you a new body. I told Magic we should have dealt with her sooner." CFW Judge said.
"That doesn't matter now." SP SKILL " void slash!" After Eric announced the name of the move, the multicolored blade changed to half red half purple.
He slashed at the air twice forming an X on Judge, and rushed him giving eight slashes before the X exploded.
This did moderate damage but mostly just pissed Judge off.
"Damn you that hurt!" He said hoisting his axe. "You're done for!" He screamed hitting Eric with the flat of his blade sending him flying toward the entrance of the dungeon.
Just as IF, Compa, and the unconscious Nepgear reached the entrance and were about to leave, our hero decided to crash the party by crashing into the wall.
"Wow! what a rush! I did more damage than I expected I was gonna do at least. It should take him awhile to recover, OK guy's?" Eric said crawling out of the crater shaped like himself.
"Just who the hell are you!?" IF screamed in confusion.
"I'll explain that and more when we get her to the planeptune basilicom for treatment." Eric said gesturing to Nepgear.
And so they left for planeptune.
The way back was uneventful, once they got to the Planeptune basilicom, Compa went and put nepgear to bed. Histoire was as of this moment busy.
"We're here, now tell me who you are." IF demanded.
"Not yet, we still have to wait for Compa and Histoire. And if we are lucky, nepgear." Eric answered calmly.
Two hours later all three missing people were present in the room.
"OK, so we are all here, so who are you?" IF asked.
"I think it would be easier to show you." As he said that, Eric took a few steps back.
After he deemed he was a safe distance away a bright light enveloped him. When it disappeared, the original form of Echo stood there.
Compa was the first to react. She walked up to Eric after he untransformed, and slapped him across the face before hugging him.
"Ow... And I deserved that." Eric said cupping the cheek she slapped.
Before he could get her to let go Histoire floated over on her book, hopped off of it and sat on his head, enjoying the feeling of the reborn overlords hair.
After Compa let go and Histoire climbed off his head, it was nepgear's turn to react.
"S-s-so you're Eric, savior of the world, and overlord momus reborn?" She asked fidgeting nervously in place.
She had always wanted to meet our reborn overlord, and now angel protagonist. But now that she has, she doesn't know what to do.
"Y-yes, that would be me, nepgear. I-" he was interrupted by celestoire's voice.
"By the goddesses, Eric you are so slow. Especially when it comes to talking to girls, just get to the objective already." The impatient tome of balance rushed.
"Wh-who was that!?" Both Compa and nepgear shouted nervously in unison.
"It couldn't be, could it?" Histoire thought aloud.
"*sigh* I know, I know. Come out already, would ya? You said you wanted to see her again, with your 'own eyes' not mine. And those were your exact words." Eric said as he called the other little tome fairy, not Histoire, in the room out.
At his beckoning Celestoire slowly phased out of Eric's head.
She looked a lot like Histoire except, she had longer silver hair that ended just below her waist. She wore a blue dress as opposed to Histoire's purple. Her blue headdress had "COM" on it, unlike Histoire's purple headdress with a cartoony "N" on it.
She stepped off his head and onto a book that had magically appeared in front of Eric. The book had one black cover, and one white cover.
"It has been some time hasn't it, little sister Histoire." She said nervously.
After some catching up between the tome of balance and the tome of order-
they are different, balance is having an equal amount of one thing as opposed to another, order is always something good, such as peace. Thing is order is always seeking out disorder. I'm getting off track.
After some catching up, celestoire said she needed to be inside of Eric, because someway somehow, that sustains her.
"So before all that happened, she said you had an objective. Well, what is it?" Histoire asked eagerly, knowing one of the two sisters she hadn't heard from in over a malenia was alive and well.
"What we seek is a way to free the CPUs and return them to their rightful place." Eric said. "But in order to do that, I need the help of the four CPU candidates, along with someone else. And when she sees me, she is gonna be pissed."
"Excuse me, but Eric who is the other person you need help from?" IF asked.
And as IF asked that, the door opened revealing Eric's little sister, Luna.
"Her," was all he could say before Luna walked farther into the basilicom and started speaking.
"Hey Histoire. Mina sent me over for the monthly checkup on you and Planeptunes shares. So how has it been~?" Luna asked.
She had grown up to be a nice young girl over the ten years that Eric had sent her to the Lowee basilicom.
She wore a purple dress with a blue miniskirt, white boots, gloves, and a white choker with a blue Pearl in the middle. Her eyes as of this time of day were a light blue.
She was a cheery young girl that led a happy life. The only thing that would make her happier, was something that she thought she would never have again, her older brother.
Her hair had grown waist length. Its silver color had grown to be more of a white, her bangs were still meet and tidy, unlike Eric's
"Oh, hi Luna, I'm doing good, a lot better actually, thanks for asking." Histoire said happily.
"Oh really, that's good, but can I ask you why that is?" She asked, clearly oblivious to the four people behind her.
"Well. If you look behind you, you will see that nepgear has returned, along with your brother, Eric." Histoire answered.
At this, Luna froze, turned around and looked directly at Eric with tears in her eyes.
"Big brother!" She cried running up and hugging him. After they broke away from each other Luna put on a serious face.
"Tell me where have you been? You've been gone for over ten years. After you told me you wouldn't be gone long, to!" She cried.
He didn't have any answer to give her except for the truth.
"I must apologize, Luna. The reason I've been gone so long is because, I reset the world, I saved it. But doing so cost me my life. I'm so sorr-gah-mph." He said before Luna punched him in the git making him double over in pain. She then slapped him much like Compa, and then gave him the biggest and warmest hug of his life.
"That's for all the years you've been gone ~." She said tapping him on the nose.
"Hey Eric, who is she?" IF, Compa, and nepgear all asked, scarily.
"Everyone minus Histoire of course. I would like you to meet my sister, Luna." Eric said after he was able to get back up.
"Hello everyone. Its nice to meet you." The girl in question said.
After introductions they got down to business.
"So as I said, in order to rescue the CPUs, I need help from the CPU candidates, all four of them, and my little sister." Eric said.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but, we will need the power of the mascots you put in place, Eric" Histoire clarified.
"Yeah and I need to return to Lowee," Luna said.
"So be it. We will collect the mascots as we travel, and we'll pick Luna up when we get to Lowee." After he said that the purple mascot appeared, and absorbed into his body. "With this one acounted for, let's get going for Lastation next."
With that said they left moments later. Eric, IF, Nepgear, and Compa to Lastation. And Luna to Lowee.
