Hey guys long time no see. First off I would like to thank everyone who reviewed my story it keeps me going and it tells me if I'm doing anything right or not. Constructive criticism is encouraged when you review so give me any ideas you have I will greatly consider them.
Alright enough rambling; let's get started on this nep-fic. First off the disclaimer. I do not own anything except for my OC and story. Idea Factory, Compile Heart, and Funimation own HDN the animation.
It has been a month since Ryu landed in the Hyperdimension. Since then he has been staying with the Purple sisters in their basillicom in Planeptune. He has been working for his stay doing what Histoire asks him to do. Ryu has also been heading to the guild to gain some extra credits. Knowing the dangers of the guild jobs, Histoire gave Ryu 12,000 credits to purchase a weapon at the shops. Ryu decided on getting a long-sword called Twilight's Edge. It had a black and gold colored hilt with a red ruby in the center. The blade was made of a light, but durable obsidian steel fused alloy. Ryu had the blade engraved to make it say, "Never follow a path but create your own." Ryu is now currently in the living room of the basillicom cleaning the floors.
"Grrrr... It's been a month and you're still not doing your CPU job at all Neptune!" Histoire said getting frustrated.
"Yeah and I'm getting sick and tired of you not even doing the simplest house chore and then having me do it." Ryu added on the side.
"Sonic Jump! Oh dang it." Neptune said completely ignoring the two talking to her.
"C'mon Neptune. Are you even listening to a word Histoire and I are saying?" Ryu said getting even more frustrated.
"Hmm? Hey even a goddess needs a break." Neptune said facing the two (winking?) at them.
"A break from what? What exactly did you do to deserve a break?" Ryu said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Even Ryu has a point Neptune. All you've done was sleep and play games." Histoire said crossing her arms.
"Neptune, the tea is ready." Nepgear said coming into the living room.
"Thanks Nepgear. Say you want to play some PVP." Neptune said switching the games.
"Really Neptune! You've even turned Nepgear over to your side." Ryu said now getting even more frustrated. "Histoire what are we going to do about these two?" Ryu said turning to Histoire now face-palming. " Uh... Histoire? Are you okay?" Ryu said with some concern in his voice.
"And you Nepgear?" Histoire said with her head down and her hair casting a shadow over her face. "Let's see you play games NOW!" Histoire yelled pulling out the plug to the gaming system.
"NOOOO! Hey it says in the user manual not to do that." Neptune said. "Wahhh!" Neptune ducked under the cable that Histoire now had lost control of the cable.
"AHHHH!"
"Oh this is not good." Ryu said now ducking as well.
"Don't try this at home boys and girls." Neptune said flashing a peace sign.
"That's breaking the fourth wall." Ryu said looking at Neptune. "Whoa!" Ryu said ducking again.
"AHHHH!"
CRACK*
"Uh?" Ryu, Neptune, and Histoire said in unison.
"Here take a look." Histoire said flying in front of the other three. "At the sharicite not at me!" Histoire said flying out their faces.
"Why? Is there something wrong?" Nepgear asked.
The four where now in the sharicite room with Histoire telling them about the sharicite levels.
"The share energy in our crystal has been declining, as I have clearly indicated here." Histoire said putting on some reading glasses and showing the three a chart.
"Sweet graph, but what's the big deal? We still have plenty left, don't we?" Neptune said looking at the graph.
"NO WE DON'T! DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHARES COME FROM OR DO YOU NEED ANOTHER DIAGRAM? Histoire yelled at Neptune.
"Aren't shares like how much the people believe in their goddess?" Ryu asked cupping his chin.
"Yes exactly. Which means the hearts of our people are starting to drift away from Neptune. Which is no wonder really." Histoire said now calming down.
"What? But I haven't done anything to make them hate me I don't think." Neptune said in a little panic.
"Yeeaaahh... but... then again. You haven't done anything to make them like you either." Ryu said (rubbing?) his chin.
"Ryu's right and you know it." IF said opening the door to the sharicite room. "Sorry to bother you Miss Histoire, but we overheard you talking in the other room." IF said now entering the room.
"IF, you and Compa are always welcome." Histoire said welcoming them in.
"You're siding with Histy too Iffy? But Compa still loves me, right?" Neptune said looking at the two.
"Well Nep-Nep... She has a point." Compa said showing Neptune the flyer she received.
"Hmmm. We don't need goddesses." Neptune read making Ryu sweat drop.
"If they understood you a little better then everything would be fine. But don't worry, it's nothing hard work can't fix." Compa said.
"Gahh. Everyone's against me. I'm in a major pinch." Neptune now panicking even more.
"IT'S THIS COUNTRY OF YOURS THAT'S IN A PINCH! Remember, CPU's are goddesses who work tirelessly for the good of their people." Histoire said crossing her arms and legs. "Why do you think you have those powers of yours? Histoire asked.
"(Awww maaan. I hate getting lectured. I wonder if I could... just like... run away. Wait, of course!) I'm going to get me some schooling in the goddess arts!" Neptune says out loud while getting up.
"Huh? Ok but schooling from who?" Histoire asked.
"From uhh... Noire!" Neptune says.
"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled in unison.
"Time For a Lastation Vacation." Neptune says.
Everyone leaves the sharicite room, but Ryu however asks Histoire to stay for a while. "Um Histoire? Could you stay a while I need to talk to you." Ryu asked.
"Huh? Of course what would you like to talk about?" Histoire asked turning to face Ryu.
"The sharicite crystal you were talking about. That's the same crystal that I saw in my world the day I got transported here and it looked exactly like the crystal too." Ryu said.
"Hmm? Well did you make any direct contact when you saw the sharicite crystal in your dimension?" Histoire asks.
"Yes I did." Ryu answers.
"Hmm. I'm going to have to look into this, although it will take three days. Right know I need you going to Lastation with everyone else." Histoire said.
"Sure thing. Thank you Histoire." Ryu said.
"No problem." Histoire said.
The group was now in Lastation on the balcony of the basillicom with Noire.
"I'm not following the situation here. Why exactly is my neighboring country's CPU napping in my basillicom?!" Noire asked getting annoyed.
"I can answer that. It's because Neptune wants to nap where Histoire can't get to her." Ryu said.
"Ahhh. Just ignore me and do your job. I won't mind one bit." Neptune said a little sleepy.
"Yeah well I do mind!" Noire retorted.
"I'm sorry about this Noire." Nepgear said. "Get up Neptune please." Nepgear pleaded turning to her sister and trying to shake her away.
"Why." Neptune asked still sleepy.
"You wanted to become a better CPU remember." Nepgear replied.
"Yeah. And if you don't wake up, I'll either splash you with cold water or I'll put your hand in a small cup of warm water and I'm feeling very mischievous today." Ryu said with a smirk.
"Yeah. About that... No thanks. I have no intention of helping my enemies on how to do their jobs." Noire said dryly.
"Awww, but we're buddies now... that's what we signed that friendship treaty for right. So we can stop-"
"As long as we're competing for shares that still makes us enemies. Get it?" Noire said.I
"Jeez. Why you got to make everything such a heavy competition Noire?" Ryu asked.
"And why you always got to be such a meanie all the time? See this is why you don't have any friends." Neptune said.
"Ohh. Burn." Ryu said putting a fist to his mouth.
"I-I do to have a friend!" Noire said with a light pink dust settling on her face.
"Whoa. Really? Then what's her name? Neptune asked her eyes lighting up.
"Huh... oh you don't... know her." Noire said.
The elevator chimes reaching its final destination with Uni inside of the elevator. "Hey Noire. I finished these documents for you." Uni said stepping out of the elevator with a pile of papers.
"Oh... thanks Uni. Just set them over there."
"My job... I was pretty fast right? I worked really hard this time." Uni said with a little blush creeping on her face.
"It was average. But that's still an improvement for you." Noire said dryly.
"Wow talk about harsh judgment." Ryu said putting his hands behind his back.
"Waaaaait. Was Uni the mysterious friend you were talking about. Because little sisters are little sisters, they don't count as friends." Neptune said walking up to Noire.
As the two went on, Uni set the documents on a nearby table and entered the elevator and left the room. "Hey Ryu want to come with me and get to know Uni?" Nepgear asked walking up to Ryu.
"Sure, I think it'd be a great opportunity to get to know the other CPU's and CPU candidates." Ryu said giving Nepgear a sincere smile.
"I'm Ryu Hikari. I'm the guy that crashed into that after party the other day." Ryu said letting out a nervous chuckle.
Nepgear and Ryu joined Uni and sat down with her. "I'm sorry Neptune kinda hijacked your talk with your sister." Nepgear said with a little smile.
"It's ok. Most of my conversations with her end up the same anyways." Uni said with a sad smile. "it's like she has this rule where she won't compliment me unless I do a better job than her. But we all know that won't happen." Uni said looking up with a sad smile still on her face.
"Uni." Nepgear said pitifully.
"I can't even transform properly yet." Uni said.
"That's nothing to feel down about. I can't transform and neither can Rom or Ram." Nepgear said.
"Yeah and I can't even transform at all." Ryu added.
"Well I guess then I'll have to transform before the three of you to prove my superiority, how's that?" Uni said giving Nepgear and Ryu a look of confidence.
"Good but you better hurry or Nepgear will beat you to it." Ryu said putting his hand behind his and flashing a goofy grin.
Nepgear's nep-pad goes off and Nepgear opens it up to see who it is. "A message, from Rom actually. She knows I'm in Lastation, but how?" Nepgear said while reading the message.
"I'm sorry I couldn't resist, and let me tell you, she was super jealous." Uni said.
"You know... Uni says that she isn't better than Noire, but in my opinion, I think Uni is better than Noire at one thing." Ryu said putting his hand behind his head leaning back a bit.
"Yeah? And would that be?" Uni asked.
"Being cute." Ryu said making Uni heavily blush. "(Damn I'm good. I'm such a smooth talker.)" Ryu thought to himself with a cocky grin.
"We'll be clearing monsters from to places. The Naso-Une highlands and the nearby Toro-Une caves. Neither are-"
"Hey sis?" Uni interrupted.
"What is it?" Noire asked.
"No ones listening." Uni replied.
"HUH?!" Noire turned to see everyone lagging back and stopping for a brief moment.
"I'm too pooped to move." Compa said sitting on a fallen tree.
"I'm fresh outta piggyback rides." IF said slouching over.
"Whoa! It's the famous sign you can't read from behind!" Neptune said pointing at the sign.
"Neptune I'm almost sure that every sign is just like that one." Ryu said with his hands in his pockets.
"GET MOVING!" Noire final snapped.
"GAHH!" Neptune yelled when she got poked in the back by Noire. Everyone was now in a single file line with Noire in the back poking Neptune with a stick every time she lagged back.
"You're walking to slow" Noire said.
"C'mon you are like all business all the time now aren't you." Neptune said.
"Is that a problem?" Noire retorted.
"Doesn't it bother you having a stick up your butt all the time?" Neptune asked.
"I want to make this country as great as I can and the only stick here is the one I'm using to poke you." Noire Responded.
"Well yeah, I want to make a great country to, of course, but isn't it better if its fuuun?" Neptune asked.
"I don't see what's so fun about failure." Noire said.
"She didn't say that failure was fun. She was simply stating that wouldn't you rather have fun while making this country great." Ryu pointed out.
"What do have to say?" Noire asked a little frustrated.
"What I just said." Ryu retorted sarcastically.
The group stopped when they heard the sound of the villagers screaming for Noire. As the group stood there at the edge of the (cliff?) "Oops. ACCESS!" Noire yelled as she transformed. She was enveloped in a light as she transformed. Her clothes came off and her bust grew bigger. she took of her hair ties. Her turned white and her eyes turned a glowing teal. She was now in a skin-tight battle suit that revealed a part of her chest. "Second rule in the goddess handbook. Always try to project a majestic air. Ladies! Do you mind telling me about the monsters that are troubling you!" Noire said as she flew towards them.
"Yeah I don't know if getting naked in front of a bunch of strangers is majestic." Neptune said with a sheepish smile.
"This is the Naso-Une Highlands correct?" Noire asked.
"Yes. We've been overrun by dogoos and there's no one to slay them." One of the elder villagers replied.
"You needn't worry. Miss Neptune and Miss Nepgear from our neighboring country have volunteered to deal with them for us." Noire said gesturing a hand towards them.
"Nep-What?! Wait I gotta work?" Neptune asked
"C'mon they don't look too bad." Ryu said shrugging.
"Rule number three, show off whenever you can." Noire said with a smirk.
"I'll record it for you guys. We can make a PR reel." Uni said reaching into Nepgear's purse and taking out her Nep-Pad.
"You're making us grind?" Neptune asked. "Well these guys are so weak you can beat them with a cypress stick." Neptune said stretching out. She then did a cartwheel and did a summersault into the field. "Let's do this thing." Neptune said getting serious, a katana materializing in her hands. "C'mon sis." Neptune said.
"Right." Nepgear said a sword also materializing in her hands. The two were now running down hill towards the dogoos.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Neptune yelled as she slashed a dogoo. The dogoo suddenly dematerialized with data fragments flying everywhere.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Nepgear yelled as she too slashed at a dogoo.
"Now that was awesome. Must Run in the family." Neptune said flashing a peace sign and winking at Nepgear.
"Hehe Hm." Nepgear said acknowledging Neptune's compliment.
The two got into their battle stances as they were ready for the oncoming onslaught of the dogoos. "CHEEESSTBUUSTER!" Neptune yelled as she lunged towards the dogoos.
"I'LL USE MY TRUE POWER!" Nepgear yelled as she lunged towards the dogoos as well.
"There's just too many of them." IF said.
"Then we better get stompin' Iffy. Let's go." Compa said.
"Right behind you two." Ryu said following suit.
"Iffy, Compa, Ryu." Neptune said turning to see the three.
IF was coming down hill with qatars materializing in her hands. "And here I come." Compa said coming in as well with her giant syringe materializing.
"Hey don't leave a brother out." Ryu said his long-sword materializing in his hands.
IF slashed at three of them taking them down at the same time. Compa stabbed on with her syringe injecting it with acid. Ryu slashed and stabbed each dogoo near him occasionally switching from backhanding the sword to forehanding the sword. "This is just a trash mob. They're a piece of cake." Neptune said confidently.
A bunch of dogoos started to rise up from the ground lining themselves up. "Uh... the dogoos beg to differ." Ryu said swallowing hard.
"Hey Noire maybe we should help them out before this gets-"
"No. It's meaningless if they don't accomplish this for them selves." Noire said cutting off Uni.
"Ugh. Hey don't touch me there!" IF yelled wiping off the dogoos.
"YAH... HA... TAAAKE THIS!" Ryu yelled before he turned to help out the girls before he slipped and fell on a dogoo. "AAAAH! CRAP I SLIPPED ON A DOGOO! UGH IT'S SO SLIMEY I CAN'T GET UP!" Ryu yelled constantly falling trying to get up.
"Stop it! Cut it out! This feels gross." Compa said trying to keep the dogoos from getting into her clothes.
"Are you kidding me?! Stop you naughty dog!" Nepgear trying to keep the dogoos going into here clothing as well.
"HAHAHAHA! Oh that tickles. I'm gonna die laughing. HAHAHA!" Neptune said with dogoos all over her and licking her ticklish spots.
"Ugh damn. This fan service is real as hell." Ryu said wiping off the dogoos from his clothes.
"Please... no more." Nepgear pleaded on the ground with dogoos all over her.
"HRAAAAAAAGGGHH! YA! Alright you little punks, I'll send your souls to a world of despair." IF said having enough of this mess. "FLAME SOUL SLICE!" IF yelled killing everything in her path.
"Grrr Neptune. You're not even trying." Noire said with a look of disappointment.
"Haah... haah... haugh." IF panted after clearing off all of the dogoos and shortly fell to her knees. Compa and Nepgear were lying on the ground covered in dogoo.
"Ugh... I'm gonna need at least twelve showers to get rid of all this dogoop." Ryu said sitting up and wiping off all of the dogoo from his clothing.
"Ugh that settles it, I'm never eating jelly for as long as I live." Neptune said sitting up.
"Why didn't you use your goddess form?! Those dogoos would've been a piece of cake." Noire said looking frustrated with Neptune.
"Who cares? It turned out okay right?" Neptune said turning to Noire.
"ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAD OTHER PEOPLE TO COVER FOR YOU! THIS IS WHY YOUR SHARES ARE ALWAYS." Noire retorted angrily. "You know what never mind. I'll take care of the rest of this ordeal on my own." Noire said. "Lead the way to Toro-Une cave." Noire commanded one of the villagers.
"I'll come with you." Uni said.
"I'll be alright. You stay here and try to clean up all of this goop." Noire said.
"Man she sure is uptight huh. Hey Uni did you get any good pics of me." Neptune said. Uni handed Neptune the Nep-Pad and Neptune began scrolling through the pictures. "Duuude... so cute. I'm gonna forward these to me. Bloop." Neptune said looking through the pictures. Neptune stood up and walked towards Ryu. "Hey Ryu want to come with me and follow Noire to the cave?" Neptune asked.
"Meh, why not. She might need the backup." Ryu responded
"PERISH!" Noire yelled slashing and killing a monster. Another monster suddenly came up behind to attack her, but she blocked it in time and killed it. "A dead end huh?" Noire said looking into the darkness of the cave. "Guess that's a wrap then." Noire said. She was about to leave until she heard the growl of something. "That's an ancient dragon." Noire said looking at the dragon. The dragon let out an ear-piercing roar setting its sights to Noire. "You might actually put up a fight." Noire said with a smirk. "TAKE THIS!" Noire yelled as she flew towards the dragon getting ready to slash at it.
Suddenly, a monster jumped on the dragon's head readying up. This completely threw Noire off guard. It then slammed itself into Noire and she crashed into the cave wall. A red crystal suddenly started to glow, however Noire did not notice. Trying to get up her transformation broke and she was back into her human form.
The dragon looked at Noire with blood-thirsty eyes. It was about to strike at Noire until Ryu came in and kicked the dragon in the side of its face. "What's good hot stuff?" Ryu said looking at Noire. "Hey, what happened to your transformation?" Ryu asked.
"I don't even know it's strange." Noire said. "LOOK OUT!" Noire yelled. Ryu turned to the dragon that was about to bring its claws down to Ryu until Neptune came just in time to block the deadly blow.
"See this is when a goddess should transform NOW." Neptune said pushing back the dragon's attack. "Check me out yo." Neptune was then enveloped in a light. Her clothes disappeared. Her hair became longer and a darker shade of purple. Her hair was also tied in a twin-tail braid. and she was in a skin-tight battle suit that also revealed a part of her chest. Her katana was replaced with a longer one with a black hilt and a black and purple blade. "Witness the power... of a CPU." Neptune said as she readied herself for battle.
"THIS WAS MY FIGHT, DON'T SHOW OFF!" Noire yelled her sword materializing in her hand. She tried to slash at the dragon, but it was the smaller monster that threw itself in front of Noire sacrificing itself.
"I am grateful. Now leave this one to me." Neptune said turning to face the dragon. Neptune then flew at the dragon with lighting speed and slashed at its chest. Then Ryu followed up with a slash to the dragon's face. "Hey, don't leave me out of this fight." Ryu said landing on the ground. "NEPTUNE. NOW." Ryu yelled looking at Neptune.
The dragon roared in pain as Neptune was readying for her final attack. "CROSS COMBINATION!" Neptune yelled slashing at the monster. The monster then collapsed into a huge explosion with a bright light enveloping the entire cave. After the light died down, small data fragments were now making falling down slowly onto the ground.
"I could've handles that thing on my own you know. I didn't need any help from you." Noire said crossing her arms.
"He, okaaay. Whatever you say Ms. Tsundere." Ryu said playfully putting his hands behind his head.
"That aside, tell me why did you choose this place today?" Neptune asked putting a hand on Noire's shoulder.
"Because it's close to your home and I wanted you out of my hair." Noire said.
"Since it's close to Planetptune's border, word of my heroics will surely spread there." Neptune said. "You were worried about my shares weren't you." Neptune said. "Thank you... Noire." Neptune said. Neptune then transformed back into her human form. "Me kicking but was cool, but you almost getting eaten. Now that's a story." Neptune said back in her happy-go-lucky personality.
"Ah... you wouldn't dare tell." Noire said blushing and going wide-eyed.
"HEY GUYS GET THIS NOIRE JUST-" Neptune's voice became more faint running back out side.
"Hey Neptune. I-I-I thought we were comrades... come back!" Noire said worried about what Neptune was going to say.
"I better get going as well." Ryu said thinking out loud.
"Lady Blackheart and Lady Purpleheart beat them." One of the young villagers.
"They beat the monsters with the power of love and also lasers." The other young villager said.
"YIPPEE!" They yelled in unison.
"This information sure travels fast." Neptune said looking at the happy villagers.
"(Why did my transformation break?)" Noire said thinking to herself.
"They cleared out the monsters. How sweet." A mysterious person said.
"Now we can search for that thing in peace. Chu Chu Chu." The another mysterious figure said looking at a small radar.
"Very impressive." Histoire said. the group was now back in the basillicom and Neptune and Histoire were discussing something in the sharicite room.
"Hmhmhm." Neptune gave a confident pose with a cocky smile.
"I meant Noire not you." Histoire said.
"NEP-WHAT?!" Neptune said comically falling onto the floor. "Don't hate I was awesome back there." Neptune said looking up at Histoire.
"Previous instances indicate that you were actually useless and not awesome." Histoire said matter-of-factly.
"Oh my gosh, ruuude." Neptune said.
"AAAAAH!" The two came out to see who the voice belonged to only to see a terrified Nepgear on the computer.
"Nepgear! Is something wrong?" Neptune said.
"It's awful there were pictures of me." Nepgear said.
"Ahhh. These were the pictures I sent to myself." Neptune said scrolling through the photos. "You look like such a cutie in these Nep Jr." Neptune said.
"Neptune, are you sure you sent those to the right email address?" Ryu said with a bit of concern in his eyes.
"Who do you think you're talking to? I... ohhh... I forwarded it to the nation wide mailing list." Neptune said looking at the email address making Ryu face-palm.
"On the up-side the comments are pretty positive though." Compa said looking at the comment section.
"I'm in the fantasy zone." Compa read.
"It's like a journey of dreams." Neptune read.
"And this one says, 'Hail to Planeptune baby.' IF read.
"Oh this is a good one." Ryu said pointing to one of the comments. "This one says, 'It's like a dream come true for me.' Ryu read.
"Does that mean... your shares went up because of these pictures?" Histoire asked.
"Maybe." Neptune replied. "Wow Nepgear, nice job." Neptune said praising Nepgear.
"Well... if you say so." Nepgear responded.
"That's handy, cause' I've got plenty more where those came from." Neptune said looking at more of the pictures on her Nep-Pad.
"Huh?!" Nepgear looked at Neptune with a wide-eyed expression.
"Nepgear, do it for your country." Neptune pleaded.
"Wait, that's a joke right?" Nepgear asked.
"I'm worried about this country on so many levels, so many levels." Histoire said putting emphasis on the last three words.
"I'm with you on that one." Ryu said turning to face Histoire.
"I'm gonna leak 'em now. Here we go." Neptune said running from Nepgear.
"MY DIGNITY!" Nepgear yelled diving for Neptune.
Wow what a chapter. Sorry for not updating I was really busy and I still am since school started for me. Read and review and tell me how I'm doing. Constructive criticism is encouraged. If you don't review then I'll still keep going with the story because that's me. Bye and take care.
