NEVER FEAR! FOR I AM... whoops, wrong series.
So, I would like to apologize for taking so long with this chapter. I had to revise it multiple times, and I was working on my other story. I do plan on releasing the next chapter sooner, so look forward to that.
Oh BTW, I'm not going to be doing the POV's anymore. Everything will be in third person. The first chapter was a test of the new format, and I didn't really like it. Hope you can forgive meAnyways, on with the chapter!
Everybody emerged from their homes or stopped their activities as soon as they heard a loud crash that came from the town square. As residents rushed over, there was a mix of reactions. Some gasped out of surprise, others had confusion written all over their face, and then there were the few that had a hint of anger in their eyes.
What they saw was a girl in a crater. She looked to be in her late teens. She wore a green short-sleeved hoodie that had a picture of multi-colored blocks on it. She wore a pair of black gloves and a pair of matching jogging pants. For footwear, she wore a pair of green shoes with black bottoms. Her hair was formed into a ponytail with the assistance of a lime green scrunchie.
"Is that...a girl?" asked one of the residents, saying what most were thinking.
"No way!" a woman said, "She fell from the sky! She made this crash as well! no way she's just a girl!" The woman got a few nods from others on the island.
"What should we do with her?" an older man asked, "She could be dangerous for all we know."
"We should take her in and care for her wounds," said a middle-aged woman that had on a coat with a red plus on it.
"Are you crazy?!" asked a bearded man in his late 20s, "We have no idea what she is! Like that woman said," he pointed to the woman from before, "She fell from the sky and caused a lot of damage. Plus she looks fine, save for a few scratches. We have no idea what she is!"
At that, the man managed to get some of the residents to nod or hum in agreement, "Well how are we going to know if we don't help her?" countered the woman with the coat, "What if she was a sent down by the goddesses to help us?"
A few in the massive collection of people sighed at her claim, "Goddesses?" asked the same man with the beard, "They don't exist! They're just a story our ancestors used to tell us. Just listen to me Ms. Circrute! We should-"
While the adults were trying to figure out what to do, a young boy decided to go down the crater to figure out if the person was even still alive. When he got down to her, he put a hand on her chest to see if her heart was still beating.
*Thumpthump* *Thumpthump*
The boy sighed out of relief to know that the girl was okay. He wanted to know about her, and how she managed to pull off the coolest thing he's ever seen!
"Releyi! Come back up here. I don't want you to hurt yourself." the nurse said to him.
However, the boy, now known as Releyi, didn't listen. He just kept looking at the features of the girl in front of him. He then decided to poke her cheek. 'Soft' was the only thing the boy could think of to describe her skin.
He then felt some hands grab him. As he turned around, he realized he was being carried away from the unconscious girl, "Aunt Seria!" Releyi yelled to the middle-aged woman, "She's still alive! You've gotta help her!"
As the boy was pulled away from the crowd, the nurse made up her mind, "You're not stopping me Rox." She then gave the man that argued with her a hateful glare that made him flinch a little, "When I see someone hurt, I do what I can to help. And that girl," she pointed to our protagonist, "Needs my help!"
The man, known as Rox, grumbled a little at her response, "Fine. But let me know if anything happens. I don't want to lose our best medic."
"Understood." Seria said to the man. She then turned to the crowd that was still gathered around the crater, "Well? Can someone help this frail woman carry her next patient?"
"Citizens of Portabe!" Purple Heart announced to the camera broadcasting her all over the nation, "For those who may not know, I am Purple Heart, CPU of Planeptune. And my associate here," she motioned to White Heart, "Is White Heart, CPU of Lowee. We come to you baring news." All the residents of the nation were either watching their TVs or listening to their radios as the broadcast continued.
"We beat that sorry excuse of a CPU in battle!" White Heart yelled to the camera, "And because of that, you guys no longer have a goddess to worship! So we are making you an offer."
"You can either join one of our nations," the purple goddess started, "Or you can have no allegiance whatsoever."
"You people better come to my nation!" White Heart threatened.
"We plan on destroying this nation after all the current residents leave," Purple Heart said. This shocked all the Portabe citizens, "You will have 3 days to prepare yourselves. Once that time is up, we will do one check of the city before it gets destroyed. So please," she said, almost begging, "Make haste." The live feed ended.
Neo Heart opened her eyes, to find that she was in a dark room. In it, there was nothing except a TV that was on, and a girl watching it. When she got a closer look at the screen, she saw it was a video of her battling the 2 goddesses from her perspective.
The girl that was watching the TV was paleish tan with blond white hair. She wore a black dress with silver and red accents while a ribbon was tied around her wrist.
"Sucks doesn't it," the little girl said, "Losing to those 2 CPUs when they clearly cheated."
Neo Heart decided to sit beside her, "Yeah. It was pretty unfair. Those 2 ganged up on me like I was a huge threat to them! Heck, one of them could probably beat me!" she said, pouring her emotions out to the unknown figure next to her.
The little girl turned to Neo Heart, "Look, in any other dimension, you would've died from that fall. You're lucky I found you before you fell to the ground."
The goddess was a little confused by what the other occupant of the room said, "Woah, wait a minute! You said dimension. You traveled to this dimension?"
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure I made it clear," the girl said with a little sass.
"Why did you come here?" the goddess asked.
"Wow. No 'Thank you for saving my life' or anything." the girl gave a little scowl at the other person.
"S-Sorry! I was just taking in the fact I'm talking to an interdimensional being." The goddess's eyes sparkled, "How did you do it?! If I had that kind of te-"
"Hey! Don't nerd out on me! I didn't keep you alive for that!" the girl said, stopping Neo Heart before she could go any further.The teen quieted down soon after, "Finally. Now, like I said before I was interrupted, If you were to fall from that height, then you would've surely died. So you are alive because of me. Be grateful." She recieved a couple bows fron the goddess, which caused her to put on a smirk.
"Can I ask why you let me live?" at that, she got a weird look from the smaller female, "N-Not that I want to die or anything! I'm just curious if there was a catch to me cheating death."
"I'm getting to that!" the little girl yelled at Neo Heart, which caused her to jump a little, "So I do have a reason for keeping you around. You are going to take down the other CPUs."
Neo Heart fell into a little sort of a depressed state, "But you saw what I did at my best. I didn't even hurt them."
"Stop being so depressed!" the girl yelled again, causing the goddess to jump again, "Geez. If I knew you would be like this, I would've turned a blind eye. And yes I did see your display. Which is why I'm going to help you.
"How?" Neo Heart questioned. This irritated the little girl.
"Can you shutup and let me explain everything before you ask questions?!" The girl exploded, causing the goddess to jump higher. She did however keep her mouth shut. "Okay. Now I will help you by letting you use some of my power. It will power up your HDD so that you could maybe stand a chance against those goddesses."
She then held her hand out to the goddess. A rune appeared underneath her as purple and black energy began to form in her hand. The energy then flew away from her hand, and it went over to Neo Heart. The energy then flew into her and then disappeared."There. Now you have Share energy, plus Dark energy running through you. You should be able to stand a decent chance with the CPUs."
Neo Heart looked at her hands to see if anything changed. She didn't feel any different, "How long will it take for the energy to take effect?"
"Don't know," the girl responded, "A week at most. Let me know when you get ready to fight the CPUs because I can't miss that! You'll figure out how to contact me once the energy takes effect.
"Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity for revenge!" Neo Heart said as she bowed multiple times, "It will not go to waste!"
"It better not." the girl then put her attention back to the screen. Suddenly, the room started getting brighter, "Looks like your waking up. Don't tell anyone about me. I kinda want to make a dramatic entrance when I reveal myself."
"Got it!" the goddess said as her body began to dissolve into colorful sparkles. After a few moments, she was gone.
"She better make this interesting."
"Huh?" Neo Heart groaned as she got up from her makeshift bed. She took a look of her surroundings, and found she was in a building. 'Huh. Someone must've found me after I fell from Celestia. I hope they're nice.'
"Hey Aunt Seria!" shouted a boy with spiky hair said, "She woke up! Come over quick!"
Neo Heart took a look at the boy and mentally sighed, 'What is this, an anime?!'
Not long after the boy yelled, a middle-aged woman wearing a coat with a cross on it appeared, "Oh thank goodness! You gave me quite a scare when you didn't wake up after I treated you."
'Guess I have that girl to thank for that,' Neo Heart thought. She then looked around the room again, "Umm...can you tell me what happened and how I got here."
"I can do that!" Releyi excitedly said as he put his hand up, "You came crashing to the ground like a meteor! You destroyed 2 buildings and made a giant hole in the center of town!"
The goddess immediately felt the guilt of her actions, but you couldn't tell from how she was blushing from embarrassment, "I'm so so-"
"You were so cool!" the boy continued, the enthusiasm never leaving his voice, "I never saw something that amazing!"
"I'm so sorry for causing so much daamge. I didn't mean to! I-I'll help fix the buildings!" Neo Heart said frantically; not wanting to get on the residents' bad side.
The woman was taken aback from her words, "W-Wow. I didn't expect you to want to fix the destruction you caused. Of course you can-" the goddess was immediately making her way to the door, "Wait a second! There's still a few things I want to ask you first!"
She returned to her spot on the bed and gave her full attention to Seria, "Okay. First off...what are you?"
"I am a g-" the goddess stopped herself. The recent events replayed themselves in her head, "She really doesn't need to be a goddess." - "Pathetic! You're not even worthy of a nation!"- "This world has no reason to harbour fake goddesses." Each of those sentences burned a hole through the girl as she was forced to remember them.
'I couldn't defend my nation. I couldn't defend my people. I really am a fake goddess aren't I?"
"Stop being so depressed!" those words came back to Neo Heart as she was falling down into the pit of despair. After hearing the words, she shook her head to dismiss the terrible thoughts from taking her over. 'That's right! I haven't lost yet! And I'll be getting a power up soon! I will save my nation! I don't care what those 2 say. I AM A GODDESS!'
"Um..." the medic interrupted the girl's motivational speech. "Did you hear me when I asked my question?"
"Oh! Sorry!" Neo Heart rubbed the back of her head from embarrassment, "I'm CPU Neo Heart. Goddess of Portabe. But you can call me MG."
"MG?" the boy asked confused where the nickname came from.
"My human name is Moby Garner. But since that name is too long, I just let people call me MG." the goddess responded.
The older woman in the room stared at the goddess with wonder in her eyes, "YOU'RE REALLY A GODDESS?!" she exclaimed to her. The nephew and MG jumped at the sudden woman's exclamation.
"Y-Yes..." Moby answered, a little scared of the woman now.
"I have so many questions! Like, how do you get your power?! How were you made?! Where do you keep your powerful weapons?! And can I see your basilicom?!" Seria asked in a quick manner.
"Umm..." MG nervously said as she turned to the boy, hoping for an answer to her behavior.
Fortunately for her, she got one, "Sorry about that. My aunt really likes goddesses. She's never seen one, so she is excited to find that she has one in her home."
The goddess gave a light chuckle to that, "Well then, since you took care of me, I will be happy to answer your questions."
And questions she had.
