Notes:
At last, I have finally managed to get to the Noire chapter,everyone's favorite lonely tsundere. This time, I did get an idea I liked and developed a character for the chapter. I just happened to write this chapter while I was playing a LOT of Saints Row IV and Gat out of Hell and that is where I got the inspiration for this new OC. Also, due to the chapter's length, I split this chapter into two because I have a habit to keeping my chapters a certain length. I don't like writing overly long chapters.
Anyway, I hope you all like this new chapter and I hope all my followers like it and keep reading any new chapters I come up with in the future.
My Girlfriend is a CPU
Chapter 2: Noire, the lonely tsundere black goddess
Living off the grid in Lastation of all places isn't a walk in the park. You have to worry about a lot of things like food, shelter, money and protection well away from the safety of the cities and towns. It's not a choice for the weak of heart but if you understood where I'm coming from, it's the only choice I have. Who am I, you ask and why would I be living away from civilization? I have a doozy of a story you won't believe.
My name is Alex. And for reasons unknown to me, I was taken away from my family by a mysterious group of scientists when I was a young boy growing up during the Console War. During my years of captivity, they continuously infused me with strong psychic powers and energy. Where did they get this stuff, I was never told. They had some grandiose plan to create powerful humans in order to fight against the chaos made by the warring CPUs for the use of people in power or have tons of money. A few years into my unethical experimenting, my parents never made one attempt to save me when the scientists began their experiments. I found out from a bored assistant that my parents decided to abandon me with these people, selling me to them for a large amount of money. That devastated me, knowing that I wasn't important to my parents. It only made my time there worse.
I wasn't the only boy they infused psychic energy on with their demonic experiments which was called the "Saints Experiment". The scientists kept a number of young boys like me captive for the experiments. And by a miracle of miracles, I was the only one to survive the tests and infusions where other boys died within hours. Sometimes, they brought in some new kids one day and they would die within hours after arrival. I ultimately developed survivor's guilt from this and I kept to myself in my cell, never socializing with anyone there. I guess that is why I never talked with people outside of my shelter when I do supply runs. I don't know if the people I meet will be gone tomorrow.
I was only nine years old when I was sold off to those scientists and I was experimented on for over six years at that forsaken lab. I yearned for the day when I would be rescued from the lab. However, the bored assistant who spilled the beans about what my parents did to me told me that not even guild agents could find the lab's location. It was hidden in a landmass that had no CPU at that time. I was pretty much resigned to dying there sooner or later, never seeing the outside world ever again.
It was well into my sixth year when the true goddess decided to intervene on my behalf. At least that is what I believe. The scientists wanted to see if I could be the weapon they thought they created in me by forcing me to defeat a big group of monsters. I was very ill when the guards took me out of my cell and transferred me to the outside where powerful monsters were gathering. I had a hard time even standing up because I was so sick. The gathered scientists didn't care about my condition and they shoved me to the ground just as a horde of monsters appeared. In an instant, the monster horde suddenly attacked the scientists and guards as I struggled to even get on my knees. I was sure that I was going to die. But all that happened was the screams of the scientists and guards getting their asses handed to them. I was very curious on why I wasn't attacked by the bloodthirsty enemies. It seemed they thought the bigger people would be a bit more tastier than me. After a few minutes of chaos, it was over. I looked up and saw the carnage around me. All of the scientists and guards were decimated into bits, torn apart by the horde. They had no chance of defending themselves and I did feel a bit bad for them. But I began to panic and ran back to the lab as fast as I could despite my sickness.
Even in my weakened state, I managed to get back to where the lab was and got another shock. The lab was completely overrun with Tough and Risky Foes, just about all of the remaining scientists and well-armed guards were slaughtered. The monsters did a real number on everyone there. I had a feeling that staying here would be suicide and since everybody who did experiments on me were dead or fled the scene, I sensed my chance to escape from this evil place. I grabbed whatever clothes and food left and some medicine to take care of my illness. After stuffing everything in a knapsack, I left the destroyed lab and wished that I would never see that place ever again.
I spent about three days in the harsh wilderness, nearly getting myself killed many times by even Dogoos and suffering through the cold nights. I had no idea where I was going most of the time but I just kept going west. I was just about to run out of food when I finally stumbled onto the decrepit rundown factory district of Lastation, where I was suddenly attacked my a big horde of Coyotes. With nowhere to run, I closed my eyes and threw out my arms in a vain attempt to protect myself. I was expecting death but I only heard the sound of ice crashing to the ground. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the group of Coyotes were frozen solid. I quickly looked around to see if anyone may have saved my bacon but there was no other people around. It was at that moment that I discovered that all the experiments and psychic power infusions actually gave me powers that can be used to defend myself or attack monsters. Those crazy scientists actually were onto something with all those cruel experiments. I decided right then and there that I was going to stay in this decrepit old factory area and hone my powers against all the monsters that spawn here. And I've been here ever since.
This is one of the main reasons why I decided to stay in Lastation and not go live peacefully in one of the other nations in Gamindustri where I can be safe. There is another small but important reason why I stay in the land of Black Regality. And that reason is Lady Black Heart.
To me, Lady Black Heart or Lady Noire as some people tend to call her, is the most beautiful, kind and powerful Console Patron Unit in all of Gamindustri. Not even that slacker Purple Heart, that vulgar and flat-chested White Heart and that bimbo Green Heart come close to Lady Black Heart's pedigree. She's true perfection and just about everyone in Lastation knows it. When I sleep at night, I dream of Lady Black Heart. I dream of being at her side, being important to her, helping her defending Lastation like some storybook hero protecting his princess. But I know that us just a dream and I will never achieve it. I'm positive that she will most likely freak out if she ever caught a glimpse of my powers. I am very afraid of what I can do when I get angry.
And yes, I am a male NPC. But unlike other male NPCs in Lastation, I actually have a body that's not covered by a huge, dark silhouette. Odd? Welcome to the club and here's your membership. Guys like us are rare in Gamindustri, like a monster spawn that only appears through certain conditions. I have heard some rumors that a guy like me just happens to be close to that slacker Purple Heart. I guess miracles do happen for guys like us.
By the way, I'm sorry for rambling on about my past. I don't get into the details of my past that often but I guess I needed to talk to somebody.
##########
As I said, I live deep in an area of Lastation that is devoid of humans. It's where there were a lot of ruined factories that were abandoned years ago and overtaken by deadly Tough Foes and Risky Foes. I think there's one derelict factory where a powerful member of ASIC was defeated near the factory I reside in. With little to no power flowing through this area, it's truly off the grid and no human in their right mind would dare set foot in this wasteland. Except me, of course. As I got myself dressed and ready to face the day, I picked up a picture of Lady Black Heart that I'm sure that she doesn't know exists. It was her cosplaying as a magical girl from some Anime that came out months ago. Lady Black Heart looked absolutely beautiful in her outfit. I don't know why she would keep this private. I'm sure her shares would skyrocket if she did cosplay shoots around Gamindustri or release cosplay photo albums. Maybe she would invite some citizens to see some sessions in person. I would love that but I would be afraid to show up and accidentally use my powers.
I'm sure that everybody in the city would freak out if they saw someone among them who could throw energy blasts from their hands that could freeze people, pick up and toss big things around with my mind, create a big crater by stomping the ground hard and burn everything around me with an aura of fire. I would be hunted down like a common Dogoo. That is why I stay away from people unless I have to. And then I make sure that I absolutely never use any of my powers when I'm heading to the city. The only times I do go into the city is when I need some supplies, food or to sell off the many materials I have gathered from defeating the monsters in the area. A lot of monsters that spawn here are a bit on the rare side and they drop materials that people will pay a lot of credits for. Despite my situation, I have no issues with money which I use to buy needed supplies and the most important expense, Nep Bull. Using my powers takes a lot of energy out of me and it takes me a long time for my energy to recover naturally. Drinking Nep Bull with his high energy ingredients to help drinkers recover energy is perfect for me to keep using my powers for hours. I hate the taste, though. I don't know how normal people in Planeptune drink it without wanting to throw up. I have tried other energy drinks but Nep Bull is the only drink that seems to agree with my stomach.
I decided to leave my shelter and get some fresh air. I exited the large control room that I use for living purposes and carefully climbed through the twisted metallic ruins of the once powerful factory. The roof caved in years ago, burying the remains of the old machines that fell into disrepair, years of rust replaced the paint on the machines and the ceiling trusses that collapsed to the floor. The sharp pieces of metal that jutted out all over the dead factory made it for treacherous trekking but after living in this dump for as long as I have been, I could get through the wreckage in my sleep and completely in the dark. I climbed out from the mountain of debris and I looked at the cloudy early afternoon sky, my eyes adjusting to the daylight since I have been cooped up in my dark shelter for a few days. The sun rarely peeks out through the thick, cloudy skies of Lastation, all due to the many running factories pumping out smoke and other stuff into the air. Many Lastation citizens are used to the crappy air but I have heard that Lady Black Heart has begun some initiatives to reduce the air pollution greatly and let the skies clear up over the years.
The entire area looked run down and depressing. Vegetation had taken over many of the ruined factories, grass and tree branches sprouting through the concrete floors and walls, sometimes busting through the concrete. The cries of of weaker monsters being eaten or attacked by their bigger foes. It was a truly depressing place to be but I chose to be here. I let out a quiet sigh as I reminisce on my life up to this point as I made sure to keep myself somewhat hidden from the higher level foes nearby. I heard a loud growl near a wasted trailer office near me and I ducked into a hiding spot amongst the outside wreckage. I caught a glimpse of a group of Tae Kwon Do Cats trying at attack a much larger foe, a Flame Fenrir. Those large monsters were native to Lowee but this place is a breeding ground for just about any monster from any nation. I just stayed quiet and watched the Flame Fenrir make short work of the Tae Kwon Do Cats, slashing one into pieces and dissipating into data. Another tried to do a sneak attack and failed as the Fenrir's fire mane set the smaller monster ablaze. Apparently, the Flame Fenrir was hungry and mauled one cat and made a quick meal out of it.
And that's when I saw it, a piece of Hematite. The item dropped from the Fenrir's maw and it quickly turned around to gobble up the remaining enemies. I surveyed the area where the massacre was going on, wondering if I can make an attack on the Fenrir so I can pick up that precious Hematite. Seconds later, the Flame Fenrir finished eating the remaining Tae Kwon Do Cats, ending their futile attack. Survival of the strongest is the way here in this cesspool. I could make an attack on the Fenrir by using my modified telekinesis psychic skills and hopefully toss the Fenrir into some of the jagged metal beams and kill it, letting me pick up the spoils. My biggest worry is that I may not have enough energy to be in a prolonged fight against Tough Foes.
Yes, if you missed what I said, I could pick up and throw things long distances with my mind. All the experiments and infusions of modified, manufactured psychic energy during those years I was made to take have resulted in the creation of what seemed to be super powers from video games. One of these powers is telekinesis. How I was able to manifest this power, even I can't tell you as I have no clue. With all the loose, sharp and large metal pieces all over the area, I have plenty of ammo to use against the monsters and plenty of places to toss a monster right into some jagged metal posts. However, I could exhaust all of my energy with multiple use of my powers in the fracas and end up being a snack for a monster. With all the fighting going on, I saw a lot of lesser monsters flee the immediate area and probably get attacked by other Tough Foes. As the Fenrir looked around for more prey, I saw a large piece of broken concrete jutting out from a ruined wall across from me. Perfect.
I began to focus my sights on the piece of concrete as I raised my hands towards the object. My hands began to glow white as my psychic energy enveloped the piece of concrete and it suddenly flew right towards me, stopping just inches from my face. The concrete piece radiated the same white glow as it hovered in the air, my powers at work here. With the Flame Fenrir still looking for another meal, I thrust my right hand away from me, which threw the large concrete piece at a high velocity. The concrete rock smashed right into a rusted pile of metal beams, crashing loudly enough that I'm sure the people in the city heard it. I saw the Fenrir get startled and quickly get into a pouncing stance while I clenched my right hand into a fist before I released it. A tiny sphere of energy began to form at my palm and it started to grow bigger, which began to make my hand cold a little bit. Just as the Flame Fenrir turned itself around to investigate the area, I appeared from my hiding spot. threw the concentrated ball of cold energy from my right hand. The freeze blast made contact with the beast and the cold ball of frost doused the Fenrir's fire mane. With that, the beast growled out loud and I was clearly in its sights.
I quickly let loose another freeze blast from my hand and the Fenrir was frozen in place, another of these powers I manifested over the years. I knew that it won't last for long so I quickly grabbed a piece of twisted metal from the pile I was hiding in with my telekinesis. I turned to see the Flame Fenrir break out of its frozen prison and I chucked the metallic piece at the beast, striking it on one of its legs. This caused the Fenrir to howl in pain and crash to the ground. I quickly grabbed another large piece of a steel with my telekinesis and was about to toss it at the Fenrir's head but despite the obvious pain it was in, the large beast managed to barely avoid my improvised steel javelin. The piece of metal embedding itself deep into the ground. The beast made a quick lunge at me, ready for an easy kill. Just before I was within its reach, I struck my foot hard onto the ground like I was stomping on a bug or a soda can The earth beneath me shattered and large, spiked rocks exploded into the air. The spiked rocks impacted the Flame Fenrir, dealing severe damage and sending the monster into the air, away from me and crashing hard into a pile of huge steel tubes, some of them crashing on top of the creature. Another of my manifested powers coming to my rescue. I was using too much of my energy and I started to gasp for air, wiping away some sweat from my forehead. I had to end this now before I end up being dessert. As the Fenrir tried to get out from underneath all the steel tubes it was tossed into, I grabbed a steel pole with my mind and threw it right at the Fenrir's head with the last reserves of my psychic energy. The Flame Fenrir never saw it coming as the steel pole went right through the skull and killed it in one hit. As soon as the Fenrir dissipated into data particles, I quickly rushed to where the Hematite was laying as well as pick up other materials any defeated monsters dropped. With my psychic energy just about depleted and the cries of more Risky Foes nearby, I staggered back to the safety of my inner sanctum and to get some much needed rest. I did not want to be around when more Risky and Tough Foes decided to come by.
##########
The next day arrived and with the Hematite in my possession and tucked away in my knapsack, I made my way deep into the city, heading to the Lastation Basilicom. There are certain times during the day when I can leave the area safely without any monsters lurking around. The ore us a very important item to a certain person there, the Oracle of Lastation Kei Jinguji. A year after I first started living in Lastation's factory ruins, I accidentally discovered a monster spawning point where a few batch of monsters hold Hematite, a very mineral made from the crystallized blood of those monsters. During an prevoius visit to the city to buy food, I walked by the Basilicom and spotted the Oracle speaking to a couple of girls from Planeptune and being the businesswoman that she is, giving the two girls a hard time with her legendary shrewd business savvy. She probably sent those two girls all over the place to find a bunch of rare items in exchange for some classified information. One of those items was Hematite and even I know how rare it is to find. Until the monsters spawning with Hematite arrived in the factory ruins.
When I first showed up at the Basilicom with some Hematite, I honestly believed that Miss Kei was speechless when I came to her with the rare ore. While Kei was willing to offer a great sum of credits for the rare material, keeping to her policy of equal exchange, all I wanted was a few packs of Nep Bull. I know that Miss Kei does official business with Histoire, Planeptune's Oracle sometimes and Nep Bull is widely available over there. I believe that Miss Kei was flabbergasted by my request. I was sure she felt like she was committing highway robbery. I entered the Lastation Basilicom and sure enough, I spotted the Oracle hard at work. Kei Jinguji was nose deep in reading financial and Basilicom reports, balancing guild reports and messages from the other Basilicoms on the side. Kei noticed that there was a presence in her office and looked up to see me. I swear she had a small happy grin when we made eye contact.
"Greetings, Alex. Are you here to deliver a new piece of Hematite?" Kei always gets down to business and I took off my knapsack, opening it to place the Hematite in front of her. Kei picked it up and inspected it for a few minutes.
"I found that during a short jog near my home." I said. Actually, I was lying. I hated to lie to her but this was a secret I couldn't share with anyone. Kei gave a satisfactory nod and placed the Hematite in a special safe in her office.
"The Hematite you brought me is in such a fine quality. The next generation of Lastation game consoles will run flawlessly once development is finished." Kei said happily as she opened up a closet door and took out my preferred payment, Nep Bull. Although Hematite would fetch a boatload of credits, I always ask for two six-pack of Nep Bull.
"Ah, my favorite drink in the world." I said sarcastically, knowing that Kei will miss it.
"I can understand why you would want Nep Bull. It's hard to get it outside of Planeptune. But I have to ask. Where do you find all this Hematite?" Kei asked. I could see her trying to see if she can learn my secret of getting the Hematite. But even a businesswoman such as herself know the importance of company secrecy.
"Sorry, Miss Kei. It's a company secret. Now if you'll excuse me." I said as I stuffed the two packs of Nep Bull into my knapsack. I waved bye to Miss Kei and exited the Basilicom and I headed to the marketplace. I just happen to have some highly priced materials stuffed in my knapsack and I needed to do a little shopping in town before returning to the valley of death.
##########
Two days later, I finally felt recharged after nearly using up all my energy to fight off that Fenrir and snagged the Hematite. I made a bunch of money from selling the materials and items dropped by the many vanquished monsters around the dead area. I haven't left my shelter since returning from the city and I probably needed to go outside and do an item run, picking up the things the defeated monsters dropped. But I just felt like staying in the protection of this sanctum. I had another dream about Lady Black Heart last night. Actually, it was more like a nightmare. I dreamed about finally having the chance to meet her away from the Basilicom. However, she decided that I was a danger to Lastation and tried to kill me. I panicked and unleashed a hidden power I just manifested and...
I finally decided to exit my sanctuary and get some air. I needed to try to forget the terrible dream I had. As I carefully climbed through the jungle gym of rusted, jagged metal, I found the entrance and saw something that make me quickly duck back into the debris. I saw Lady Black Heart inspecting the destroyed area, as if she was thinking about something major to do here. I noticed that she wasn't alone. Uni, the CPU Candidate of Lastation and even Miss Kei herself, were with Lady Black Heart. I was very curious on why she was here in the first place. Maybe some of the monsters attacked the city while I was holed up in my shelter. I carefully concealed myself in my debris hiding spot as I listened in on the discussion.
"How did I ignore the deteriorating condition of this area? It's a miracle that the monsters that spawn here haven't attacked the outlying areas." The CPU said as Uni finished off a Kupokitty with a head shot from the CPU Candidate's big gun.
"You've been so busy these days, Noire. Even you couldn't foresee the former factory district turn into a giant nesting spot for powerful monsters." Uni said,
"I know, Uni. But making sure that monsters don't ever find a spot to spawn here in Lastation is a priority for me." Lady Black Heart said as an Invader appeared from out of nowhere, only to be chopped in half by the goddess. Uni quickly aimed and fired at a Mega Spider that was lowering itself to the ground with its silk.
"With all the monsters popping out of nowhere, its best if we start planning the renovation of this area." Uni added as she loaded a fresh clip of ammo into her rifle.
"You're right, Uni. Kei, have you begun a starting plan for renovating this area?" Lady Black Heart asked as she quickly dispatched a group of Boxbirds that vainly tried to sneak attack on the CPU. At the same time, said Oracle had her hands full with a Risky Foe, a Nurse Binder. The powerful but small monster was giving Kei a super hard time but this was due to the Oracle's lack of combat training. Running multiple businesses was easy for the boyish-looking woman but taking on a Risky Foe without any assistance was another can of worms. But with one lucky shot, Kei's sword managed to embed itself deep in the eggplant-looking enemy.
"Do you think that I would have that information for you if I am in combat? Lady Noire, you know I have not had much experience in fighting." Kei said as she ripped out her sword from the remains of the former Nurse Binder. The Oracle has breathing heavily, clearly not used to fighting enemies unlike the two goddesses. The area was now clear of bad guys for now, which finally allowed an exhausted Kei get some rest.
"Well, we're safe now Kei. Do you think you could make a rough cost estimate on renovating this area?" Lady Black Heart asked the Oracle. I could see Kei concentrate hard for a few seconds before she came to a solution.
"It would take maybe hundreds of millions of credits to completely renovate this death trap. Most of the cost would most likely go to our army and to any private military companies to weed out all the monster nests around here." Kei answered,
"That much? What if they sell all the materials to the other nations to offset some of the cost?" Lady Black Heart asked,
"It could make some dent into the cost but Lastation will be footing most of the cost in the long run." Kei answered,
"It's a price I'm willing to pay. And we do have public support since the people do consider this area a major eyesore." I quietly watched as the three ladies discuss plans to completely take over the area.
"I should confess something I have been keeping from you, Lady Noire." Kei said hesitantly. Hearing the different tone in the Oracle's voice made Lady Black Heart look at her with a worried look on her face, a very rare look from the CPU.
"Kei, I know that you want to take over many big businesses in Lastation. Don't worry. I know you'll make an excellent CEO in the future." Black Heart said confidently,
"Well, thank you for your confidence but it's about all the Hematite we have acquired in bunches. I think the young man who constantly brings pieces of Hematite might be finding them here." Kei answered. I have a feeling that she was talking about me and all the Hematite I have delivered to the Basilicom.
"What?! What young man? And why didn't tell me about this sooner? If he's a citizen of Lastation, he shouldn't be around this den of death!" Lady Black Heart said,
"I never really pressed him on the issue. All the times I asked him his secret, he would counter with one of my own tactics about business. But I assume he is a powerful fighter if he can defeat the monsters that hold Hematite." Kei answered,
"If he's that strong, I bet he could easily handle whatever the monsters could throw at him. But I do agree that he should be found fast before something bad happens to him." Uni added,
"The next time he arrives to do an exchange, I would like to meet him and make him an offer to work directly with us." Black Heart said,
"I do like that idea. The young man could be a very valuable asset for Lastation if he is that powerful. I do want to reward him properly for all the Hematite he has supplied. I feel like I'm stealing from him since all he asks is for Nep Bull." Kei added,
"Nep Bull? I mean, it is hard to get it outside of Planeptune and a lot of people will go to great lengths to get some. I have no clue why." Black Heart said.
If I was invisible or listening in from far away, I would have jumped for joy and screamed to high heaven. If I ever decided to leave this decrepit factory, I could be working under the one goddess I dream about. But could she accept me for my psychic powers? That was my biggest fear. A freak like me wouldn't feel welcome here in Lastation or maybe anywhere in Gamindustri. As I pondered what to do with my future if this death zone is renovated, I heard a very faint buzzing sound. The three ladies also heard the buzzing sound and they quickly got into their fighting stances.
"I don't like the sound of that. Uni, Kei. Get ready for anything!" Black Heart said as she readied her rapier for more monster slaughtering. Uni took off the safety lock on her rifle and Kei readied her sword as well. The peculiar buzzing sound got louder but for some reason, it was coming from the sky.
"Is it just me or does this sound seem to emanate from the sky?" Kei asked. The three ladies looked up when what seemed to be a giant blast of air slammed hard on the ground. Dust kicked up in a massive cloud, blanketing everything around it. I quickly ducked deeper into my hiding spot as the big dust cloud slowly passed by. When I poked my head out of my hiding spot, I was in for a shock.
Both Kei and Uni were knocked out and probably won't be waking up until next week. Kei I could see being knocked out due to being a normal human. But for Uni to being knocked out as well, that was a shock. I then heard the groaning of Lady Black Heart coming from the epicenter of the blast. The CPU was wrapped up in something that seemed to be a ruby colored rope. A rope that had a plus shaped crystal attached to it and it seemed to make Lady Black Heart weaken. How did she get tied up out of nowhere? Unless there's some real shady guy hunched over wearing a cloak and twirling a thin mustache while cackling evilly nearby. I expected to see her get herself untied but another party had other plans.
##########
A huge group of robotic enemies appeared and encircled the weakened CPU. A mixed group of Bit type bots, DSTT type bots and a half dozen Heavy Tank type bots were ready to unleash their robotic power on Lady Black Heart if she even resists once. The CPU'S eyes slowly opened as she groaned quietly. A second later, her eyes opened wide as soon as she saw all the bots around her as well as being tied up like some cheap floozy damsel in distress.
"Ungh... what the hell is this?!" Lady Black Heart said panicking, trying to struggle out of the rope. She felt abnormally weakened and when she looked down to see what she was wrapped up in, it was something she dreaded.
"Well, well. Looks like my early Christmas present is all wrapped up for me." A male voice said cheerfully from nowhere. I could see Lady Black Heart instantly dread hearing this voice, like she heard it before.
"Oh, great. Not you." The CPU muttered to herself as her captive showed themselves. While I was expecting to actually see a hug with a thin mustache, a tall hat, wearing a mask over his eyes and a cloak draped over his shoulders, I was not expecting a purplish pink colored robot with neon green trim float down to the ground, surrounded by six floating fins that could be wings. It looks like some mecha from a popular Anime that I recall hearing about. But... there was something off about this robot.
"Oh, yes, It's me, honey. And at last, my dreams are finally coming true!" The robot said happily as it started a happy dance. Okay... I wonder what its creator was smoking when they programmed this... thing. And even Lady Black Heart sweat dropped at the sight.
"Your dreams or my nightmares? You're not going to get away with attacking my little sister and my Oracle." Lady Black Heart said angrily,
"I must apologize for that but I didn't want nobody to ruin our special moment. I assure you that they will be fine, although they might have a bad headache later." The robot said,
"Grr... just wait until I get my hands on you, dirty pervert." Black Heart was getting madder by the minute. The robot however seemed to like seeing her get pissed.
"Oh, my sexy, shy tsundere. You look so lovely when you're angry. We could be absolutely happy together. I love you so so much."
"I hate you so so much!" Was Lady Black Heart's reply. Honestly, I don't blame her. This guy is obsessed with her and obsessed in a bad way. I just stayed quiet as the two of them carried on their seemingly tireless argument.
"The more you get angry with me, the more I live you, my darling. I can't wait for our first date as a couple."
"There is no way I would date a stalker pervert like yourself. You of all people should have gotten that through your perverted fantasy filled head of yours."
"I don't think you have any choice right now, my soul mate. As you can see, that anti-crystal that's adorned on that rope you're nicely bundled up in has rendered you helpless as a newborn Dogoo."
"Even Dogoos can be deadly when pushed too far."
"Oh, my Noire. You can keep up your for as long as you want but in a few hours, you'll be so weakened from the crystals that you won't be able to resist my love. But don't worry, my love. I'll be extra gentle."
"Nononononono!" The moment Lady Black Heart began to shake her head wildly at that... thought, I couldn't let this disgusting jerkoff do that to her. I wouldn't let Lady Black Heart be taken like that against her will. I climbed out from my hiding spot and finally revealed myself to the freak and Lady Black Heart.
"I won't let you harm her in any way!" I said loudly as I stood on the top of the debris I was hiding in. Lady Black Heart looked at me like I was insane or something while I couldn't read the fruity robot's reaction but I was sure he didn't like me appearing.
"Oh, ho. Has my sexy goddess triggered an event flag where a lone hero will rescue her from the dastardly villain that is me? So cliché." The perverted robot said sarcastically,
"I'm no hero but I'm not going to let you defile Lady Black Heart like she's just some plaything for you." I shot back,
"A plaything? Young man, I would never dare think of the lovely Noire as some plaything. Although the idea of some delicious role play sounds very tempting." The robot said lustfully. I didn't know that robots could be programmed like that.
"WHAT?! What kind of a sick, perverted freak are you?! I would NEVER, EVER DO THAT! I would rather be taken by Dogoos than do THAT with you!" Lady Black Heart said, nearly gagging at the disgusting proposition.
"Don't fret, my lovely bride to be. We'll have plenty of time to discuss our honeymoon plans later. But first I must deal with this disgusting little pest." The big robot motioned a hand just slightly and a trio of Bit type bots appeared to do his bidding. Before they could even attack, I tossed a freeze blast right at the group of Bits. All three of them froze and dropped to the ground where I picked one up with my telekinesis and quickly threw it right at a wrecked water tower at the highest velocity I can muster. The robot shattered into a million little pieces as both Anonydeath and Lady Black Heart looked at me flabbergasted. Before the other two bots unfroze themselves, I rushed towards them and slammed my foot hard onto the ground. The big rocks that exploded from the ground completely destroyed both robots, shattering them into pieces.
"Oh, my. It seems like you're the lone result of the Saints Experiment, the program where young boys were infused with powerful energy in hopes of fighting the CPUs during the Console War. I never dreamed that their program would bear such violent fruit." The robot said in surprise. My eyes went wide open in shock at hearing the accursed project that ruined my life and gave me these powers. I haven't heard that name since I escaped from that facility.
"How did you know about that?!" I asked surprised. I was positive that nobody in the outside world knows about the experiments that went on those years ago. Just who was this robot?
"It seems you don't know about what I do for a living. Well, that's no problem. In my line of work, I operate from the shadows and always know what's going on in Gamindustri. That's why I'm the hacker extraordinaire, Anonydeath!" The robot said as he finally revealed his true name to me. And with that, the battle began.
End Notes:
I hate doing cliffhangers like this. We all know that the creepy robot Anonydeath had a thing for Noire that bordered on creepiness and I was disappointing that he never got his comeuppance in Victory, being that Karma Houdini that he turned out to be. In the next part, our new OC will face off against Anonydeath and his robot horde while a weakened Noire can only watch. Can a human male pumped up with drugs that gave him powers that is the same powers as the Boss had in Saints Row IV beat Anonydeath's bot horde? Man, I sound like that announcer from the old Batman TV show from the 60s.
To all my followers, please do drop a review and I hope you all enjoy the new chapter.
P.S.: if any of you spot typos, tell me about it. Writing chapters on a tablet that doesn't have a good spellcheck system is not fun.
