I jumped up in shock of my terrible flashback. I looked at my wrist and and noticed I was tied up. I quickly tried to break them, but then received an electrical shock causing me to yell in pain. I used my feet to balance my body up, and rip them by doing a reverse squat. I did receive the shock, but I did break them. Next to me was my armor and guns, for some weird reason, as well as my keys. After I took off the keys and looked at my armor, I reached for it. It was the armor from the dream. I also noticed that I now had 10 of my previous grenades, adn 20 clips to each gun all packed into a backpack on me. I was also now carrying another Magnum at my side. But to add on to all of this, I had a new objective. Make it to the guild. It has been 2 days.
"What the hell is this, an MMORPG?" I asked myself. I walked out of the room and immediately noticed from the windows in the hallway I was on the fifth floor. So I looked to my sides and saw an elevator at the end of the hall. The thought then acord to me that if I ran into anyone knowing Im supposed to be in that room i'm in trouble, so I took the stairs. I reached the bottom and expected I'd have to run, but no one seemed bothered by me or my weapons. Until I got three blocks down at least, where everyone was starting to run away from me. I then heard an explosion and the side objective 'stop the robbery' appeared. I sighed. "This is a pain in the ass."
I started sprinting at top speed, and I felt a lot faster than before! Even with this armor weighing me down, I felt a lot faster. I saw some people who look like guards men staring the place down with swords and shields, which caused me to shake my head. I ran around the building I was at, until I reached a alleyway which B-lined. Let's see if training did me any good. I ran forward at top speed, which nearly caused me to fuck up as I wasn't expecting it. I drop kicked the door with a spin, meaning the door would spin as it skids across the room. As I was spinning on the door I fired my BR at every enemy I saw, until the clip was empty, conveniently when I hit the wall. With that alone I killed 12/15 enemy's.
"Get Em boys!" One of the guys yelled, all of them charging me. Instead of reloading my gun though, I dropped it and started shooting the rest of them with my Magnums. I was the 2nd best in the program so my shooting is pretty good. I actually had a hit-to-miss ratio of 92.6%. Not to brag or anything. I heard a groan and noticed one was left. Remember when I mentioned that ratio? Well I didn't miss but I hit him in the heart. I picked him over the shoulder and went outside, where the guards raised their swords.
"Relax boys, this one's still alive, now if you'll-" I started, throwing the guy off of me and onto one of the guards, "Excuse me, I have to go. C'ya!"
I started running through the city again. When I got around an ally I looked at my armor and myself. There was blood on my shoulder now.
"Great...now how am I supposed to get out of here unnoticed?" I asked myself, not expecting an answer. But luckily for me it disappeared out of thin air, and a screen appeared on my watch. I looked at it, reading out loud. "You may summon armor/weapons at anytime, but only one weapon at a time...okay then."
I peeked around the corner and walk forward. I did not know where this 'guild' was, but whatever. Actually now that I think about it, is this Planeptune.
"Hmmm...I wonder-" I stated before bumping into someone. I looked at them,before apologizing.
"No it's fine Mr, I should be apologizing! I wasn't paying attention again!" The girl told me. She looked to be around my age actually. Well the age I was before now at least. She had long light pink hair down to around her rib area. She had a white with pink sailor outfit, and a yellow tie around her neck. Her boots matched her outfit, and she had long pink and white socks on up to her knees. She is cute!
"No, no, it is truly my fault, i'm lost and am going too fast!" I told her. She gave me a concerned look.
"Oh no, your lost? I can help you sir!" She said energetically. I noticed she was holding four bags in her right hand, and in her left she was holding a brown bag.
"No, no, you're busy enough. I'll just-"
"N-no it's fine sir really, this isn't that hea-"
"Here how about a deal? I'll grab this brown bag," I said, grabbing the brown bag, "And after we drop these by your place you can show me around deal?"
She looked as she was about to object, but stopped herself and sighed.
"Sure! These bag's do get quite heavy!" She said. We both gave nervous laughs as we continued to walk towards...wherever she was going. She put two of four bags in her right into the left, and rolled her shoulder. "By the way, Im Nepgear!"
"Hm? Oh, nice to meet you Nepgear! My name is...umm...we'll people call me Michael so just call me that, kay?" I asked. She seemed a bit confused, but nodded her head as we walked around. "So you live here?"
"Mmm-hmm! Planeptune is a lovely place to live, isn't it?" Nepgear asked.
"I don't know...I don't really live here, plus there was a robbery towards the direction opposite of what we just turned." I noted.
"O-oh! I'm so sorry! I assumed because of your jacket…" Nepgear started, not quite sure what to say.
"No, no it's fine! This is the only damn thing I have...well...wait," I started and looked down my jacket, I flinched realizing I no longer had a shirt. "Aw shit, they took my shirt…"
"Who took your shirt?" Nepgear asked worriedly. I jumped a little, not realizing what I said.
"N-no one, you know lent it to my...douche-bag of a comrade!" I said. I was pulling a lotta bull out of my ass.
"O-oh...you swear a lot," Nepgear said awkwardly.
"Yeah I know, it's a problem I have. I try really hard but...ugh! It's so fucking hard aft-" I caught myself, "Sorry, so freaking hard to stop after being so used to it. Please accept my apology misses."
"O-o-oh please don't call me that, we all have issues," Nepgear said.
"No don't be like that...your a much more pretty and better person than I...you don't know me really, I'm surprised you're being so trustworthy," I said scratching the back of my head.
"Oh I wouldn't say that...my big sis is the amazing one." She said. She looked down, "She's better at everything. Except tech and getting out of bed of course...oh we're here!"
We stopped in front of a giant tower. The biggest tower in fact.
"You live...in this apartment?" I asked.
"Yeah, but don't you know...this is the Bacillicom?" Nepgear asked.
"The bacilli-what?" I asked.
"You know, the place where the CPU and their candidate live?" Nepgear asked me. My face must have said it all, because she could tell how clueless I was.
"So...like computer parts...are you actually a robot?" I asked, head tilted. "What in this world are you talking about?"
"I-i'm...surprised you don't know, do you really not know what a CPU is? How though, if not to be curious, would you not know about CPU?" Nepgear asked me.
"I'm not from around here. What's so special about them?" I asked. Nepgear looked dumbfounded. She sighed, as she told me to follow her.
"CPU are the goddess who lead each nation, and the Candidate is the one who is next to lead. I'm the candidate of this nation." Nepgear told me. Goddess? I asked myself. "You do realize what nation your in at least, right?"
Damn it Michael, come up with something...Amnesia? For some reason I have the greatest sense of over-usage appearing over my head, but sure it'll due. I thought to myself.
"I...uhh..phew...Don't quite...remember anything before last week." I told her. She gave me a worried look.
"What? Is that why you gave your shirt to your 'comrade' because you thought they'd clean it, and why you say just to call you Michael?" She asked me. I nodded, rolling with it. "Oh no! That's terrible, do you at least have a place to stay?"
"Nope...I've been sleeping in a box and haven't draken/eaten anything for two days." I told her. She took a step back in surprise. Probably because she still can't smell me. Gotta love this jacket, hiding my stench.
"O-oh my goodness! C'mon you need to come inside and take care of yourself!" Nepgear said, dragging me off. I couldn't tell if it's because she likes me or if it's out of pity.
Updates are random. I get to stories when I feel like it...this one just takes a bit longer. Next chapter we'll have more action...probably.
