Sorry it's been a long while guys. I had taken a short break so I could get everything ready for what I want to do in my life. And that kind of included a new laptop. It took a while, but I managed to acquire some things that I needed. Even though I haven't updated, people continue to read this story along with other ones. Now that I'm back, it's to stress myself even more! (Joking) Back to the story once again!
"So there's another me out there. One day, I wanna meet her!" Everyone besides Sieg nervously laughed.
"It's correct to say that you're a different Neptune from my Neptune right?" Nepgear asked.
"Correcto. From the looks of it, our worlds are completely different from one another! How cool is that?"
"Question, in your world, there's a CPU ruling a nation that's not you right?"
"How did you know that Nepgear? Well, there is a CPU that's ruling my Planeptune, but I always seem to forget her name. It's Plu….Plut-something. It's kind of hard to pronounce too you know. All this dimension travelling really screws up my head!" Mentioning Neptune's Planeptune CPU, it stroke an odd reaction from Nepgear.
"Plu-something? Could it be that-wait you can travel through dimensions!?" Nepgear asked astonished.
"Yup, this isn't the only dimension that I've traveled through. If I had Crostie, then things would've been solved easily!"
"Who's this Crostie that you speak of Big Nepsy?" Umio asked.
"Well, she's kind of like the main source of material that I need to travel through dimensions, and I kind of….you know, lost her." Neptune scratched the back of her head with a nervous chuckle.
"Hm, then that should be our main focus for now onwards. If we have Crostie, then we have a way to send Nepgear back." Umio said planning ahead of Uzume.
"That's right! I almost forgot about Gearsy getting back home! Aren't you glad Gearsy that you now have a ticket back home!?" Uzume said to her excitingly.
"I was at first until you kind of forgot about me going home Uzume…." Nepgear played with the tips of her fingers in pure sadness.
"Well if you need to get back home Nepgear, then sure I could do that! Wait, now that you've mentioned it….Sieg!"
"You don't have to yell master, I am sitting beside you."
"Oh, sorry about that. Say Sieg, didn't you say that you were brought here from your home as well?"
"It is complicated but yes, I was summoned here to be your servant."
"If that's so then I could probably take you back to your world!" Sieg's eyes widened in shock. If what Neptune was saying was true to Sieg about dimension travelling, then it would be worth a shot to try to get him back to….
"Well, now that I think about it, I don't know if I can or not." Sieg's eyes were saddened once again.
"What do you mean by that Neptune?" Nepgear noticed the dread that seemed to be pouring out of Sieg's body. Depression wouldn't even be enough of a name for the feeling that Sieg felt.
"Well, when Crostie and I dimension travel, we kind of need to sort the coordinates to where we are going and it will be kinda hard to figure out where Sieg dimension is since I don't really know where he came from. Continuing to use Crostie's power constantly would only lead for us being stranded! So for all I could know, one small misplacement could lead ourselves being killed! The dimensions that I travel are really close here so it wouldn't be so hard to figure out the coordinates. Sorry Sieg." Neptune's saddened smile didn't really help the sharp pain he felt in his chest.
"It's fine master. For now, it will be best to figure out where your friend is."
"B-But don't worry! We could always try something that's new to us right Neptune?" Nepgear tried her best to cheer him up. Tried
"Huh? I mean sure, I could try travelling to somewhere far. I'm just hoping that Crostie doesn't run out of energy!" Neptune had gotten the picture for what Nepgear was trying to do.
"Well, it's best to not dwell on the thought right now. We should start looking for Crostie starting tomorrow!"
With that said, everyone had fell asleep in their tents.
"Sieg" Upon hearing his voice being called, Sieg had woken up to darkness. With nothing in his sight, he couldn't understand what was going on. And more importantly…
"Ruler!? Where are you calling me!?" Sieg looked desperately around the darkness to find Ruler.
Nothing was around. No one was around
"Sieg" He heard her voice again. It sounded like it came from everywhere. No, it was as if he was trapped inside a empty box. Filled with nothing but doubt.
"Ruler! Where are you!? Please, answer me!" Running had no effect. He would only be running into nothing again. It would be just running into a maze that you couldn't escape from.
"Sieg, where are you?" Nothing seemed to work for Sieg. His voice didn't reach, and his efforts didn't reach to anywhere he wanted to go.
"I'm here Ruler! I'm here! I'm here!" Sieg felt something wet in his eyes. It kept dripping down from his eyes again and again. A waterfall of tears.
"Sieg, wake up please." No response came from Sieg, as he felt his energy drained from him. Ruler's voice continued to echo from his ears.
"Sieg."
"Sieg, where are you?"
"Wake up Sieg."
"Wake up Sieg."
"Wake up Sieg."
"Wake up Sieg."
"Where are you Sieg?"
He was trapped in a empty box…..
"Where are you Sieg?"
"Where are you Sieg?"
"Why aren't you here Sieg?"
A box that was filled with her echoed voice….
"Where you Sieg?"
"Why aren't you here Sieg?"
"Sieg please, where are you?"
"Wake up from this delusion Sieg."
"Where are you Sieg?"
"Sieg, wake up already!" Sieg awoke to the face of Uzume's megaphone in his face.
"What?" Her yelling wasn't what bothered him, it was the fact that he wasn't in his tent where he last felt himself being at before sleeping.
"Geez, some heavy sleeper you are. You were knocked out for a while you know?" Sieg looked around to see the concerned faces of everyone else.
"Did something happen while I was out? It seems that we are in a different location." The surroundings were unfamiliar to Sieg. They were inside some sort of colorful building.
"Arfoire escaped, we spoke to Little Nepsy, and we found a source of share energy. You didn't miss out on that much." Uzume stated.
"And I kind of had to carry you here too." Nepgear said with a nervous smile.
"I'm sorry. For someone such as myself to be acting like this is truly pathetic of me. For now on, I'll be sure to help out with everything in my capabilities."
"Don't worry about it Sieg. I'm sure you would've done it for us so don't worry about anything. If anything, we were to blame for the Arbore's escape so don't sweat anything." Everyone started to nervously laugh which only seemed to confuse Sieg.
"Master…"
"Let's hurry up and go find this share energy thing that they need alright?" Neptune had motioned her hand in front of Sieg.
"Yes. Thank you." Taking Neptune's hand, Sieg stood back up from the floor of the building and walked further along with Nepgear and Uzume.
'He was muttering out some kind of person or thing called Ruler in his sleep before he woke up. Sieg….is there something you don't want to say to us?' Neptune thought as she started to run after the rest of the group.
