Calm Tides

Chapter 4 - Goddess Emergency...


Neptune had never in her ENTIRE life felt such pain...and it was caused by the most ditzist and clumsy goddess she had ever met, however, she was trying NOT to scold Plutia even though she was in so much pain.

"Nep-channn...I'm so sorryyyy! I mean it!"

Neptune couldn't see either. Something about the "Eye-Test" that her friend had given her was either damaging or very dangerous to her. She gulped.

"Plutia, don't take this the wrong way. I like you, and normally we get along, but please...Next time, please let someone else do my eyes. 'Kay?"

Plutia nodded. "Okay...I'll help you get out of the room, but you can't open your eyes. You'll go blind if you do that"

"Not that I'm not already blind..." Neptune whispered under her breath so that Plutia couldn't hear her.

"What was that?" She whispered back to Neptune.

Neptune shook her head. "No-nothing Plutie! Just stay calm and I'll...I'll just sit here...No more playing with eyes, okay?"

Plutia nodded. "'kay..."

It was at this point (when Neptune stood up) that she felt very light headed and fell on top of Plutia who managed to catch her...Barely.

Plutia was sent into a state of panic as Neptune stopped everything...Not breathing, which was good, but everything else. She stopped moving, stopped- Okay, that's enough description of the fourth wall.

"N-Neptune!" Plutia looked to the receptionist as she got Neptune out of the room. "C-C-Call the ambulance! NOW!"

The receptionist jumped out of his skin and rapidly nodded upon seeing the goddess. "R-Right!"


[Planeptune - Hospital]

Compa was sipping a drink of water when she saw a doctor race in to her room. "Wha? What is it?"

The doctor shook his head. "N-No time! The CPU of the nation is in trouble!"

"Nep-Nep!?" Compa instantly threw the water onto the floor and raced out of the room with the doctor. "Where is she? What happened!?"

"There was a complication at the opticians! The CPU can't see anything right now!"

Compa felt her blood run cold. This wasn't good.

Not good at all...


[Planeptune - Basilicom]

Nepgear was snoring...Relatively loudly when she suddenly snapped awake, surprising Histoire (Who had been floating near her).

"NEPTUNE!" She screamed as she jumped up...Completely forgetting that she was in her PJ's and raced towards the door.

"NEPGEAR!" An even louder scream that almost destroyed the little fairy's throat had the CPU Candidate freeze. "Get dressed. Talk to me, and we'll go together. Understood?"

"B-But...Onee-chan...She's in pain..."

"UNDERSTOOD!?"

"Y-Yes!"


[Planeptune - High Street]

IF couldn't make sense of things. How had things escalated THIS quickly!?

"Ugh..."

IF looked to a man by the side of a gutter. "Lose something?" She asked him.

"Where am I..." He looked up at IF and almost stunned her. He had purple eyes.

"You're in Gamindustry - Planeptune. Can I help you or what?" She asked again.

"Yeah...You can tell me where Compa is..."

"Wait a minute...How do you know Compa?" IF wanted so badly to beat him up...But chose to interrogate him instead...Bad mistake.

"Compa's a...friend..." He smirked and pulled out a bottle, opening the lid. A smokescreen came out of it.

IF immediately went to cover her nose but was stopped when the man got up and slammed his foot on her's. Making her squeal in the sharp pain it gave her.
