Chapter 1; Planeptune Guardian, the Fire Dragon Slayer
7 years later the CPUs continue fighting and each of their chosen protectors have become grown warriors and wait for their goddess to return wondering what has happened and if they are safe, why don't we check on Planeptune's Protector
In the nation of Planeptune, Jeffrey the Protector of the goddess Purple Heart is looking up above wondering when the goddess will return from Celestia, and a basilicom staff member sees him along with his grown buddy Ruby
"It seems our Lord is waiting for Lady Purple Heart to return from Celestia." a staff member says about to go inside
"He has been doing that all the time every month, he wonders if the goddess will return home like always. He is her protector, and now he has grown into a fine young man. Let us have faith that our goddess will return home safely." another staff member says
"Hey Jeff, you think Neptune will come back?" his buddy Ruby asks him
"Of course she will! She may have not been the person I expect at first, but it is my job to protect her!" he replies
"Aye sir! There is faith that she will return!" Ruby says and Jeff does a thumbs up and decide to go back inside in the living room
This is Jeffrey Planeptune's Guardian Protector, when he was young he was raised by a Dragon name Igniaus, who taught him everything about the world and taught how to use Dragon Slayer. Jeffrey is 17 years old, is 5'5 tall, has midnight blue eyes, black spiky hair with red trims, he wears a sleeveless, purple trimmed, white waistcoat, left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, a purple trimmed white cloth that reaches the knees, held by a black belt with a silver buckle, white knee-length trousers with purple ribbon ties, a thick dark lilac wristband on his right wrist, black open-toed sandals and a red scale-patterned scarf he received from Igniaus, and has a black and purple gauntlet on his left hand slipped on by Purple Heart 7 years ago and on his upper right arm is Planeptune's Icon. His buddy Ruby is a red cat with a black belly and his eye color is a shiny red, yellow ears, and on his back is Planeptune's Icon
"It's been seven years and yet we are still here waiting for our turn to be up there." Jeff says and he looks at a picture frame drawing of himself, Neptune, and Ruby 7 years ago "time really flies."
"You said it Jeff, we have been here for that long. I always wonder what is happening above in Celestia with the goddesses." Ruby says
"Yea, well I guess it's time we go and do some work. Onward to the guild!" Jeff says and he jumps out the window and Ruby flies after him to the guild building
"Oh hello my lord, are you ready for work again?" the woman at the counter asks
"I'm still not ever going to get use to being called that now that I am the goddess's protector." Jeff says and getting his gauntlet scanned "and surprised the gauntlet can be my identification card like everyone has."
"Here are the current jobs up now, go ahead and select what you want." the lady at the counter says and Jeff scrolls through the list
"Ancient dragons causing a ruckus in the forest? That seems simple for me to do!" Jeff says
"Are you sure? The Ancient Dragons are pretty tough enemies out in the nations." the woman says
"It's not a problem for Jeff! He'll take them out no sweat!" Ruby says
"You bet buddy! Now let's go teach those dragons a lesson!" Jeff accepts the quest and both him and Ruby go into the forest area and see an ancient Dragon
"Looks like that is our first one, I got this one!" Jeff says with his hands on fire
"You got this Jeff!" Ruby says and Jeff runs towards the Ancient Dragon and it notices him coming towards it and tries to smack him
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" he jumps and punches the Dragon with his arm on fire and having the Dragon smash into a bunch of trees "and that is why you don't go up a Dragon slayer!"
"These dragons are not like Igniaus, so they gotta be taken out." Ruby says
"And it looks like our friend isn't alone this time!" Jeff sees to more ancient dragons appear "alright this gonna be tons of fun!" the dragons try to hit Jeff as he jumps around and getting high into the air "Flames on the right! And Flames on the left! Combine them together! Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" he puts both his hands together making a large fireball and throws it at the three ancient dragons and explodes having all three of them burst in cubes "and that is done, although maybe I went a bit overboard on that."
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure it will clear when we leave the dungeon." Ruby says
"Yea you're right buddy! Now let's go turn in the quest and we can go home for today!" Jeff says
"... Hey Jeff have you notice that there are more monsters around than last week?" Ruby asks
"Yea, I have… it's been growing a lot now all of a sudden… but at first I thought it was just my imagination but when you ask that I think they might be appearing all around each nation I believe, everyone is trying to find the sources of why there are so many." Jeff says looking back at the forest "well since I am taking care of everything while Neptune is up in Celestia. I have to make sure that our land is safe." they leave the forest and suddenly
"Pl-a-e h-lp m-... C-n -ny-e h-a- -e?" Jeff hears a voice barely able to understand what the person is saying (just so people know, it's Histoire)
"Something wrong Jeff?" Ruby asks
"I'm not sure… I heard a voice… But it's hard to understand, and I don't think I recognize it at all." he says to his buddy
"You must be tired after using your power a lot." Ruby says and continues walking
"... Who was calling out to me… why are they asking for help?" Jeff asks himself and hurries back and turn in the quest and return to the basilicom
"Another day of work my Lord?" a staff member asks
"Yea, and still no sign of the goddess returning… she must be still up there…" Jeff says
"Yes, we also wish for her safe return." the other staff member says and Jeff enters the basilicom and Ruby flies onto his shoulder and go into the living room
"Another day of work, we still aren't able to make things safe for everyone." Jeff says opening the door to his bedroom
"Yea, all these monsters are gonna be a pain if they charged into the city." Ruby says
"Yea it will be hard. But we will have to do something." Jeff says and gets in his bed "well we will continue more work tomorrow."
"Aye, and hope to see Neptune also." Ruby says And lays on a small bed and both of them fall asleep
During the night something falls down the sky into a forest and a figure of a person went to the forest and find what crashed into the forest and brought into the house back in the city
Time passes and two figures one that is a lilac haired girl and another girl with peach color hair and they see some broken trees as they enter
"What do you think happened there Nep-Nep?" the peach hair girl asks the lilac hair girl
"I'm… Not sure… But for some reason I feel like I would know what caused it…" She replies
"So is it like something you've seen happen?" the peach hair girl asks
"No, I don't remember but I feel like I would know the damage who caused it… it just seems like a feeling…" the lilac hair girl says and she shrugs it off and both head deeper in the forest
Back in the basilicom Ruby wakes up and looks at the time
"Wah! We overslept! Jeff! Hurry and get up! We gotta do some work!" he starts shaking him and gets him up
"Mmm oh man Ruby why did you wake me up…?" he asks
"No time for chatting we gotta get some work done! Look at the time!" he points to the clock and Jeff goes wide eyed
"Oh crap! Get ready Ruby, let's hurry!" they get their stuff and run to the guild "alright let's see what we can do today…"
"Hello my lord, have you heard about the new dungeon that was found today?" the lady at the counter asks
"A new dungeon? When did this come up?" Jeff asks her
"About like 15 minutes ago. We have some guild members searching inside, but if you go then none of us need to worry." she says
"What a good idea! Ruby we are going exploring to a new dungeon!" Jeff says to him
"Aye sir! Time to explore a new dungeon!" Ruby says excited and they both run off
"I believe the dungeon is around inside the forest area we went to yesterday." Jeff says and they find a hole that wasn't there before and suddenly Jeff starts sniffing something
"Whats up? You smell something?" Ruby asks
"This… scent… I know it… it's her! She was here!" Jeff says surprise
"Whoa you mean Neptune?!" Ruby asks and Jeff nods "awesome! But why didn't she return back to the basilicom?"
"Her scent leads down inside, so it looks like we will run into her…" Jeff says and jumps down onto platforms and lands to the ground and sees around the cave and Ruby flies onto his shoulder
"Wow all the crystals look amazing." Ruby says amazed
"Seems like we got a lot to explore here." Jeff says and something moves behind him and he looks to see a monster with a large spider body and holding a sword "that looks like a tough enemy, looks like I'm gonna have lots of fun!" the monster swings the sword and Ruby grabs his back and lifts him up "looks like he isn't gonna let us live, alright let's do this. Fire Dragon's Claw!" Jeff lights his feet on fire and Ruby flies towards the enemy and Jeff kicks the beast which made it burst in cubes "guess someone had weaken it but didn't finish it off " Ruby lets him go and lands on the ground
"Do you think Neptune fought this thing?" Ruby asks
"Possibly, well anyway let's go and…" Jeff doesn't finish and looks ahead "there seems to be a group of people, I can hear voices up ahead." they go deeper and see a group of people getting crystals in black soldier like armor
"What are they doing?" Ruby asks quietly
"Not sure but we can go ask. Hey what are you guys doing?" Jeff gets their attention
"It's none of your business kid, someone like you shouldn't be disturbing us." one of them tells him
"Fine I will be on my way then." as he was about to move on when a soldier stops him
"Sorry but we can't let you go this way." he says
"And why is that?" Jeff asks and a soldier walks behind
"You wouldn't want something like this to happen!" another soldier was about to hit him with his gun but Jeff steps aside and grabs him and throws him into the other guy slamming them into the wall
"No one messes with the dark army!" the other soldiers get their guns out
"Ruby now!" Jeff grabs two soldiers and Ruby smacks some soldiers in the heads and Jeff throws the two soldiers into more soldiers "never mess with me." Jeff grabs two more guys "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" he throws the two guys up high and jumps "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" he punches one of them into the other and smashes them into a wall breaking it and lands on the ground "leave now before I really get angry!" the soldiers were suddenly scared and run out
"Wonder what that was all about…" Ruby says wondering who those soldiers were
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that we will find out later." Jeff says and they continue onwards "I hear voices and it sounds like… Neptune is close!"
"Let's hurry and see her!" Ruby says and Jeff starts running and Ruby suddenly stops for a moment suddenly
"Hey Ruby hurry up!" Jeff shouts out and they get to an open area where they see Neptune on the ground and two girls hurt and a scary looking witch woman in front of Neptune "what the heck happened here?"
"And now Neptune, your power is mine!" the witch shouts and a purple orb appears in her hand glowing
"Nep!/Nep-Nep!" the two girls shout out and Jeff runs and jumps with his hand lights on fire
"Fire Dragon's…" he starts saying and the witch looks up shocked "Iron Fist!" he punches her in the face sending her straight into the wall and he lands on his feet in front of Neptune "you hurt Neptune, then you gotta go through me first!"
"Aye! And you better watch it lady, cause now Jeff's mad!" Ruby says with wings on him
"Do I… know you…?" Neptune asks him
"Why didn't you tell me you came back?" he asks her and she looked confused "nevermind, right now I got this one to deal with…" he looks back at the witch getting out of the rubble that covered her and he gets a good look at her in that weird outfit and the light purple skin "alright, I want answers. Tell me who you are and why you are going after Neptune? Otherwise I'll have to beat it right out of you!"
"Tch… damn, I wasn't expecting you to be here…" the witch says like she knows him
"Expecting Jeff? Does that old lady know him?" Ruby asks
"Shut it you damn cat! I won't lose to someone like you, my power is beyond your own." the witch says sounding confident
"Don't sound too confident! Cause you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover." Jeff lights his hands on fire ready to fight and the witch charges at him and he dodges her spear and bends back from swinging it at him and at the right timing he kicks her spear making it stuck into the ceiling and she starts swing her fists at him and then suddenly uses magic to knock him back a bit for her to grab her spear again
"Don't think you can beat me, I'll just take yours along with Neptune's!" the witch yells out with a purple orb appearing
"But can you handle the heat?" Jeff asks which makes her flinch and he lights on fire and starts burning the place making the area hotter "try this on for size!" he makes fire burst from his feet flying at her "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" he headbutts her in the stomach making her drop something out of her hand which Jeff grabs it "never underestimate me." Jeff lands on the ground and the witch lands on the ground barely able to stand up
"Grrrr, fine… keep it then… But just know this won't be our only encounter ahahahahaha!" she suddenly disappears in a bright flash of light and Jeff looks around seeing she is truly gone and looks at the piece of a fragment of something he grabbed
"What is so important about this thing…" he says to himself and looks back to see Neptune walking up to him
"Thanks, we thought we were done for." she says
"Heh, no problem. It is my job to be there for you." Jeff says which makes her look confused
"What do you mean? Does this mean you know about me?!" she asks which confused him
"What are you talking about? Of c-" before he could finish the peach haired girl interupted
"Well it's just Nep-Nep has amnesia." she says which surprises Jeff "do you know Nep-Nep?"
"She's… lost her memory… then that means she must not remember anything about being a goddess… if I told her then she might question everything… I must keep my mouth shut." he says in his thoughts and shook his head "sorry no… you looked like someone I knew, I came in here to explore the dungeon and then I saw all of you getting attacked by that weird witch and I thought this one looked like someone I know but I obviously got mixed up…" he lies to them
"Oh, well to bad I really hoped you knew something. We should get going though, bye!" Neptune then runs off and the other two girls follow her
"Neptune has amnesia… That explains why she didn't come get us at the basilicom…" Ruby says
"Yea… Ruby, let's promise each other not to say a word to her." Jeff says to his pal
"Huh? Why?" Ruby asks
"Well, if we told Neptune who she really is. She might question all the things in life right now." Jeff explains and Ruby nods
"Ok then, I promise not to tell!" Ruby says
"Alright then onward, we better keep a watch on her as a precaution." Jeff says and they both start walking and suddenly he looks at the dead end having a strange feeling
"Jeff let's go! We can't slow down now!" Ruby shouts and Jeff hurries up to Ruby and leaving the dungeon, and little did they know that witch had over heard the conversation
"Neptune lost her memory huh? Well this is a golden opportunity, except with him that boy is not normal… his abilities could be destructive…" the witch says and leaving the scene
