Okay, ready, set, GO

Chapter 2, Past revealed+Confrontaion on Lowee

The newly born CDU is making his way through the skies of the borderline between Lastation and Lowee. Aeriallina was currently riding on his back. Zayne was thinking of the events that had transpired today from him meeting Aeriallina and becoming a CDU, to his encounter with Neptune, Noire and there sisters. He was sorting everything out in his head until his guardian spoke.

"Zayne, where exactly are we going?" asked the Oracle.

"Too Lowee, we need to find a place where I don't have to worry about certain things, and Leanbox is further away so I figured Lowee would be the best bet." responded the CDU swordsman.

Aeriallina was slightly confused as to why he was trying to avoid certain nations but Zayne cut her off before she could speak.

"I'll tell you the details when we land but I also need you to inform me on what is happening here." Zayne said as he sped toward the snowy land of Lowee.

Back on Lastation

Noire, Uni, Neptune and Nepgear are currently Noire's room in what was supposed to be a meeting between them about what had happened just awhile ago but Neptune was seemingly in her own world playing a first person shooter game on Lastation's console.

"Neptune will you please focus!" requested Noire

"I'm listening Noirey, and I know were here to talk about that strange guy we saw earlier." Responded the purple haired teen.

Noire just sighed as she took a sip of the tea that Nepgear had prepared for them. Uni sat next to Nepgear and she did not look very happy.

"Okay, what I wanna know is who the heck was that guy, and what did he mean when he said guide the world into the crimson light?" asked the CPU candidate of Lastation.

Noire turned her head to face her sister. "I'm not sure but I could tell from the amount of power he was giving off that we probably wouldn't have lasted too long against him".

Neptune then turned to face the two Lastation residents. "By the by, I noticed that he seemed to be focused on you two. Did you guys do something to him or something?" asked Neptune.

"N-No, this is the first time that I've even seen someone like him." responded Noire

"Same here, I've never seen anyone like that either." said Uni

Kei suddenly then walked into the room and joined in the conversation.

"If I may. It seems to me that the people are in a state of semi-panic from what transpired a few hours ago. Shouldn't all of you address this problem to you're nations and inform the citizens about this strange new being that just appeared out of nowhere?" suggested Kei

Nepgear quickly responded. "We should address the situation but I think we should keep that guy a secret from the citizens, it would cause complete chaos but we need to inform Blanc and Vert about him."

"But we don't know if he's an ally or not, he could be some kind of hero from an alternate world." said Neptune

"I'm afraid that might not be the case." a voice said

the group turned to the source to find planeptunes Oracle on the window seal.

"Histy! what brings you here?" asked Neptune

Histoire looked at everyone in the room with a serious expression. "Everyone, I need to tell you something very important about that man you saw. please listen carefully, as this man may hold gamindustries future in his hands" said Histoire.

On Lowee

Zayne came to a soft landing right on top of what seemed to be a mountain overlooking the main city. The baslicom was visible from the mountain. Zayne was apparently looking for something in the city. He seemed to have found it because without a seconds warning, he took off. Seconds later he was above a hotel, still out of view from the citizens, little did he know, a certain CPU candidate had seen him. Zayne cradled Aeriallina, who was now blushing in his arms. he released his transformation and with great agility he jumped off the roof and 3 trees onto the hotels canopy, slide down it and landed in front of the hotel surprising a nearby couple.

"I think this should be a good place to rest for a bit." said Zayne

Zayne and Aeriallina checked into a room but not without Aeriallina catching some attention because of her size. Aeriallina quickly sat on the soft bed as Zayne took a seat on a chair in front of the bed.

"This is really soft." said the oracle as she bounced on the bed a bit.

After around or moment or two, Aeriallina decided it was time to tell Zayne.

"I think it's time I told you everything." said Aerial

Zayne looked at Aeriallina with full attention.

"As you know, you have become a CDU, this is an abbreviation for Centennial Destruct Unit. I should explain that long ago, there was a CDU that was driven mad with power. He went on a path of destruction and killed all those bold enough to face him. As all seemed lost two CPUs stepped forth. CPU Rei the former ruler of Tari and Arfoire the former true goddess."

Zayne was silent, taking in the fact that his predecessor was a driven mad by power.

"After a battle that lasted for a century, the CPUs were able to defeat the CDU of chaos but Rei lost almost all of her powers and Arfoire became overtaken by the same madness that had consumed the chaos CDU. However before the CDU of chaos perished he regained his sanity. Using the last of his powers he created me and also transferred the power of CDU but my sister Histoire discovered this and placed a seal on me. I was asleep for a very long time until you found me."

Zayne then asked his question

"Where were the other CPUs when this was happening?" he asked

"The other CPU at the time, Plutia was defeated and sealed away and the others were born after the battle." responded the oracle.

Zayne took all the information in rather easily. It wasn't too much of a shocker but that came with Aeriallinas next words.

"Now, you must establish you're own nation as soon as you are able." she said

Zaynes head snapped up the instant he heard that.

"while you're power isn't influenced by peoples faith I believe that it would be appropriate for you to have you're own nation to show that the CDU has returned." the oracle said with a sparkle in her eyes.

Zayne was lost in thought for a bit.

"You don't need to do it right away and besides, you need to get use to you're powers more." the oracle then let out a yawn signaling that she was very tired. Zayne laughed a bit and then stood up causing the oracle to look at him strangely.

"Im going to go do some missions, ill be back later but you should get some rest okay." said the swordsman as he jumped on the window seal.

"Becareful okay." said Aeriallina

Zayne nooded before jumping out and sprinting towards the basilicom, had e looked above him he would have seen a certain CPU candidate looking for something. Once he had made it to the quest boss he turned CDU and made quick work of the lost dragon.

"That wasn't even a warm up." said the CDU

Just as he was about to power down a voice shouted through the forest.

"Ice Coffin"

Zayne jumped back just as a pillar of ice emerged from underneath him. Zayne quickly scanned the area and saw what looked like a young CPU with a pink and white color scheme. From the way she looked and just acted there, the swordsman quickly assumed she was one of this lands CPU candidates. She held her staff at the CDU and was looking to attack again.

"Who are you?" asked the CDU

She glared at him before launching an ice ball which just bounced right off his wing surprising her. "I'll ask you again, who are you?" said Zayne as he drew his mech sword.

She aimed her staff again but didn't attack just yet. "My names Ram and I'm one of Lowees CPU candidates. I'm assuming you're that guy, TrinityNova right?"

Zayne looked down at the pint sized CPU candidate before responding with a yes. At that moment he could see she was about to attack again but he would have none of that. The CDU snapped his fingers and disappeared but reappeared right behind Ram. Before she could do anything he tapped her with his swords hilt right on the back of her neck. The candidates eyes went lifeless and she collapsed to the ground out cold.

Zayne looked at the fallen CPU Candidate with slight remorse for having to do that to her, but he didn't want to have to use flat out force and risk hurting her.

"I'm sorry for this but I don't have any inte..."

Zayne never finished his sentence. In what looked like an instant he was sent flying into a nearby rock formation causing it to collapse on him. A teenage girl with blue hair, red eyes and a white body suit similar to black hearts landed next to the fallen CPU candidate with an expression of unrivaled rage on her face. a moment later Zayne used a power flex and blew the debris off him. The girls was shocked to see he didn't have a single scratch on him but she quickly got into her battle stance, still with rage all over her face.

"YOU F'''ING A'' HOLE" shouted the girl

Zayne quickly recognized the young girl as CPU white heart. He had heard that she was usually nice, calm and quiet but if you made her mad enough she became quite the ill mannered speaker.

"CPU White Heart, I see you're just as the rumors say." said the CDU

White Heart began steaming after that

"DONT TALK TO ME SOO CASUALLY AFTER WHAT YOU JUST DID TO MY SISTER JACKA**. I'M GONNA BEAT THE HIGH HOLY S''T OUTTA YOU" said White Heart as she charged at him.

White Heart brought her axe down with all her might only for Zayne to move to the right and evade it. Zayne then put his sword to his side and stuck his tongue out in a mocking manner at the goddess. White Heart saw this and got even angrier. She pulled her axe in a horizontal strike hoping to hit the CDU from the side but Zayne put his hand on top of the axe and flipped over the strike. White heart went to kick him but he caught her with his left hand and then kicked her other leg from under and flipped her in mid-air causing the goddess to land face-first in the snow.

"I'm not here to fight, so just calm down. If I were to actually fight this would probably be over by now." said the CDU as he stood over White Heart.

The goddess growled and then launched herself upright and tackled the swordsman catching him by surprise. She then tried to pin him but Zayne quickly countered it into a 1-armed overhead judo throw. White Heart flew about a good 6 feet before she stopped mid-air and turned to face the CDU. Her rage was now boiling over, she couldn't believe that this guy was making a straight out fool of her.

"I...AM... GONNA KILL YOUUUUU" she shouted as she rushed into him with her axe

The CDU took the blow on the wing. White heart smirked but that didn't last long. That smirk soon turned to shock when she realized her strike did absolutely nothing, no scratch, no ding, nothing at all.

"Just give up already." said Zayne in a sympathetic tone. this just enraged her even further.

"SHUT YOU'RE HOLE BI**H" she said as she rapidly began striking at him

Zayne just continued to easily evade all of White Hearts strikes with little effort. The CDU then sensed another presence approaching and realized that it was the other CPU candidate. Zayne then realized he would have to end this fight very soon in order to avoid more needless confrontation. White Heart then backed away from the CDU before charging again. Zayne finally decided to finish it now with one shot. White Heart swung her axe down but Zayne countered with his sword and then with incredible quickness, he kick White Heart's wrist and forced the axe out of her hand and using his free hand he grabbed hers.

"What the hell, let me go" demanded the struggling goddess.

Zayne put his sword back to his side but his free hand was soon covered in a red aura causing White Heart to flinch.

"Game...Over" said the CDU as he punched the goddess right in the stomach

A red wave of energy went through White Hearts back. Her eyes slight bulged and forced tears appeared in her now seemingly lifeless eyes. White Heart collapsed to her knees holding her stomach obviously in terrible pain, saliva dripping out of her mouth.

"Ngh..ah..noo" with one last cry of pain, the CPU of Lowee collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Zayne looked at the fallen CPU and Candidate before sensing someone watching them. He looked to the sky and saw Rom with a horrified expression on her face. The CDU closed his eyes and then disappeared in a vortex of crimson flame but not before saying one message.

"You need to get them to the basilicom to heal." said the CDU to Rom before he completely disappeared.

back on Lastation

Neptune and Nepgear were preparing to leave Lastation when Gear suddenly got a call. Histoire had basically told the group of Uni, Noire, Neptune and Nepgear everything that Aerialllina had told Zayne.

"So first things first, we need to find out if this guy is a maverick like the former CDU" said Noire. "but I still cant believe it, a male version of a CPU only much stronger."

Neptune then wrapped her arms around Noire's waist from behind surprising Lastations ruler. "Don't worry Noirey, if he is a maverick god, we'll stop him cold."

Histoire was about to scold Neptune until they saw Neptune until they notice Nepgear go white as Lowee's snow.

"Nepgear, what's wrong?" asked Uni

Nepgear handed Uni her N-gear with the message up. When Uni finished reading it she dropped it in shock.

"What's wrong you two?" asked Noire

"Nep Junior, what happened?" asked Neptune.

Uni looked at the rest of the group with an expression of disbelief.

"Well?" asked Noire again

"Blanc...and Ram...were attacked...by TrinityNova." responded a pale Uni. "They were...defeated."

Somewhere on Planeptune

A women known by the name of Rei Ryghts was strolling through the city with some groceries she brought when suddenly she felt something familiar but different altogether. she looked to the sky as if she was in some kind of trance.

"Is that... Zayne...was that...you?" she said as she placed her groceries down on the curb and looked to the sky with her hand over her heart. "If that power is you, then Plutia must have awakened as well".

Rei then looked at her hand to see that the symbol of Tari had reappeared on it.

"It looks like the time is approaching." said the CPU as she continued to gaze into the distant sky.

Well, Blanc didn't stand a chance and Ram was just a no. Zayne has now shown that he is too much for the CPUs to handle one on one. Does Zayne plan on making his own nation? will Blanc be okay after the beating she just took? and has Zayne sealed his fate as an enemy of the CPUs? find out more in the next chapter of Hyperdimension Neptune: Rise of the CDU.
