Chapter 2: Is it odd to talk only through writing?

--[Lucky's Perspective]--

Uh oh. Right. These girls aren't used to my Pyro-Speak yet. They can't translate what I'm saying to common English like the others could. Even then it was kinda sketchy here and there.

"Whoops. Sorry. I forgot that I- who am I kidding you don't understand a word coming out of me right now don't you?" As I said that the two shared a concerned look before Compa spoke up.

"Sorry mister but we really can't tell what your trying to say. Can you take off that gasmask so we can understand you better?" I felt a cold sweat on the back of my neck begin to form. Nervously I held a hand up to my neck and shook my head. Compa seemed confused and saddened at that.

"Oh… well can you at least maybe explain why? Oh! I have an idea!" She stood up and walked over to a cream colored drawer to ruffle through it. Meanwhile, the other girl cast a suspicious look over me.

"So you survive falling out of the sky and have an aversion to taking off your mask. What are you underneath that?" I shook my head and shrugged. I think she wouldn't believe me if I told her I was a relatively normal human under this. I don't think I'd believe myself either.

"Here we go!" Compa interrupted our conversation before it could go further by coming between us and dropping a notebook and a pencil on the bed beside me. I picked up the pencil and found it was… far smaller than I was used to. I guess it made sense since this was likely her room, so everything would be fit to her size.

"You can write down what your trying to say instead! Sorry but that's the biggest pencil I could find" I shrugged and began writing down my reply.

[It's fine. I'm being enough trouble already. I'm thankful you've given me this at least] Compa brightened at that. God she legitimately looks like she's glowing! How is that even possible?

"Oh no! It's no problem mister! This isn't the first time I've had to deal with something like this" Compa's friend rolled her eyes in response.

"Yeah. Nep-Nep seems to have a habit of getting into those kinds of shenanigans. I swear its like she aims for Virtua Forest every time she drops out of the sky just to mooch off of you Compa" Compa waved it off with her smile still on her face.

"Iffy you know that I don't mind when Nep-Nep just drops in like she usually does. Now then! Can you tell us who you are mister?" I began to write before Compa spoke up with a jolt again.

"Oh! I almost forgot to introduce us! How rude. My name is Compa! And this is my friend Iffy!" Iffy rolled her eyes and sighed in fond exasperation.

"Iffy is just a nickname. I'm IF, the wind walker of gamindustri!" A short silence passed and I swear I could feel a wind blow through the room. Understandable since the window was open- wait was that a cricket?

"A-anyway" IF coughed into her hand, a luminescent blush on her face. She turned to me and tried to hide her embarrassment with curiosity. It wasn't working.

"Whats your name?" Taking that as my cue I finished writing.

[My name is Lucky. Nice to meet you two. And thank you for helping me out] I flipped the note book over to show it to them.

"Well then its nice to finally meet you Lucky!" Compa raised her hands cutely in celebration. IF sighed her fondly exasperated sigh again and I couldn't help but release a chuckle. Then Compa clapped her hands together.

"Now! Who wants some pudding?"

--(Third Person)--

"Strange…"

Within the inner sanctum of the Planeptune Basilicom floated Histoire, the Tome Fairy. She inspected a purple crystal that floated amidst a holographic display. The doors to the sanctum opened and in stepped two individuals. The CPU of Planeptune, Neptune, and the CPU Candidate of Planeptune, Nepgear.

"Heeeey Histy! You called? Something wrong with the balance of the world or something?"

"Actually, yes. Something like that Neptune. How did you know?" At Histoire's response Neptune stopped mid-step and threw both arms up in surrender, eyes wider than plates.

"Whatever it is Histy I swear to me I didn't do it this time" Histoire was not convinced, giving Neptune the stink eye. She seemed to shrink at the look while Nepgear wisely stepped away from Histoire's baleful gaze.

"Sis is right Histoire! She's been with me since this morning" Histoire turned to look at Nepgear, Neptune breathing a sigh of relief when she did. Histoire could see that Nepgear was being completely honest with her answer and so she sighed.

"So it wasn't Neptune's fault… this time…" She turned back to the holographic display and the crystal floating next to it. Both sisters stepped up to get a closer look as well.

"What's that Histy? Some kind of share crystal? Is there a new nation popping up or something!?" Histoire cast an annoyed look at Neptune, who in her exaggerated panic had begun violently shaking her sister like a ragdoll.

"S-S-S-Sis! Stop! Shaking! Me!" Nepgear half-shouted to get her sister's attention to no avail. Histoire sighed again.

"Neptune. Calm down. there isn't any newfound nation with a demented CPU popping up... again" At her reassurance Neptune finally stopped shaking Nepgear, the poor girl looking like she'd been put through a spin cycle.

"Oh... Okay then!" And with that Neptune let go of her sister to let her spin around in a daze while she rushed up to get a closer look at the display.

"What's all this say then Histy?" Neptune was about to poke a part of the display showing some shiny holographic buttons before Histoire slapped her hand away.

"Don't touch that! Honestly Neptune how many times have we talked about this?" Histoire crossed her arms with a disappointed huff. Neptune put a finger to her chin in thought.

"About what?" Histoire put a hand to her face in mild frustration.

"Touching shiny buttons?" Neptune thought hard on that. Before a metaphorical and literal light bulb appeared over her head.

"Oh right! To never touch them unless Nep Jr. is there to supervise?"

"Exactly. And before you bring it up. Nepgear is currently suffering the after effects of your shaking" Histoire pointed over to Nepgear. Who was still spinning around in a daze.

"No Uni your not supposed to pull that switch~" Then finally unable to keep her balance, Nepgear unceremoniously fell over in a heap. Stars, Button Pads and oddly enough faces of Uni floating about her head in a circle.

"Uh... Huh... So no touching buttons?" Neptune inquired nervously, the lightbulb over her head dropping on it and rolling off to smash on the floor.

"No touching buttons" Histoire finished with a tone of finality as she turned back to the holographic display.

She scanned the various monitors, gauges and screens showing the balances of shares across the 4 nations. Planeptune's shares especially. Then after seeing nothing wrong with it she continued scanning all the others around her.

"Soooooo what reason did you call us up for Histy" Histoire was silent before she brought forth a single display showing a chart to. It was a line graph type of chart and it showed what seemed like 4 massive spikes of activity following one after another.

"This is something I've set up for monitoring your entry and exits from our dimension whenever you go off to visit others Neptune" She turned to Neptune with a concerned look.

"Oh. Neat. But uh... Why does it look like that? Is it supposed to look like that?"

"Have you done any travelling to the other dimensions these past few days Neptune?" Histoire inquired with a tint of hope in her voice.

"Uh. No not really. I've just been chillin' here at the Basilicom these past few days" Histoire turned away with a troubled expression much to Neptune's confusion.

"Then this is worse than I thought... Neptune. These readings mean that there have been 4 different dimensional breaches in the past day alone. What's worse is that its not just a local phenomenon. Each spike here happened at a different Nation. One for us, one for Lastation, one for Leanbox and One for Lowee" She turned to Neptune with a grim look on her face.

"Neptune. I want you to investigate the breach that happened in Planeptune. According to my scans it happened somewhere in Virtua Forest. Where you usually land after your adventures" Neptune snapped a smart salute at Histoire's words.

"Alright Histy. I'm on the case! I'll swing by Compa's house and call Iffy to bring'em along too" Neptune turned and walked over to where Nepgear laid unconscious.

"No sis you need to eat those veggies. Their good for you~"

With a huff of effort Neptune tossed Nepgear over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and turned towards the door before stopping.

"Histy? What about the other nations?"

"Worry not Neptune. I've already sent word to the other Oracles and their likely taking their own actions as well"

"Alright. Just wondering if we'd be going on some wild goose chase across the four nations according to the usual plot lines the games follow. See ya Histy! We'll be back when we're done!" As Neptune walked out with a still dazed Nepgear over her shoulder- "Soooo maaany roooboooooots" -Histoire called out to her.

"Be safe Neptune! And please be careful!" Neptune threw a thumbs up over her shoulder in response. As the doors closed behind her Histoire turned back to the various screens floating before her. The Dimensional Breach chart still enlarged before her. Looking all the more ominous and making her feel exactly as small as she was.

"I just hope this isn't as bad as I think it is..."
