Chapter 1: The Mysterious Hyperactive Girl: A Cry for Help
The entire world was enveloped in darkness.
"Can you hear me, Zoey?" The Mysterious Voice asked.
Zoey was silent for 50 seconds before she spoke out. "Who are you?"
"My name is Histoire. I hail from a world called Gamindustri, the very same world you are in now. I apologize for not arriving in time to help you, but at the moment, I am sealed somewhere in this world, and I need you and your friends' help."
This strange introduction still didn't please the young Mew. "First off, who was that woman? And where are you?"
"That woman is pure evil. She has captured a few Magical girls and brainwashed them so she can harness their magic. Worst of all, she wants your Ultimate Magic… If she gets that, the universe will fall under her foot. That is why I need you and a girl named Neptune's help to save Gamindustri, and the universe, from her evil."
Another piece of exposition that went right over Zoey's head. "Neptune? Sailor Neptune?"
"No… Someone with the same name as the Sailor Scout; Someone very important. She's right next to you in the conscious world. The two of you, along with your friends, must work together to free the Magical girls and save the world."Histoire's voice stated.
For once, Zoey felt pumped by whatever Histoire was telling her. "…Okay! We'll do whatever it takes to help you, Histoire! But, what are you really?" Zoey's voice asked.
"I am Gamindustri's everything. Please, help Neptune regain her memories! I beg of you…" Histoire's voice begged. As she vanished, a white light appeared in front of the Mew.
"Wait, come back!" Zoey shot up from a bed, panting heavily as her body was covered in sweat. She looked around; it appeared that she was in some sort of room with loads of beds, heart wallpaper, and some pink furniture.
This definitely peaked Zoey's interests. "Where am I?" she asked herself as she looked down; she found she was bandaged up.
A voice came from the side. "You awake?" Zoey turned to see Ryoko also bandaged up and walking towards her bed.
"Yeah… Ryoko, right? Where are we?" She asked.
Ryoko placed a hand on her hip. "Hell if I know. All we do know is that a girl dragged us here and managed to treat our wounds. The others made it through alright; you know, into this mysterious world." The strange girl smiled.
Another voice came from the other side. This particular one belonged from the young Mew's best friend. "Zoey. I'm glad you're alright." Bridget smiled as she and her fellow Mews walked up to Zoey's bed, along with their new friends.
The sight of everyone calmed Zoey down. "Glad everyone made it okay." She closed her eyes and smiled. Suddenly, the door opened, and in came a girl with a beautiful body and adorable pink hair. She wore a rather plain pink sweater-like shirt with a dark red skirt. To add to the outfit, the mystery girl also had a brown belt with hearts to keep the skirt afloat, and a medium size pocketbag attached to it. Lastly, she had on white shoes, and on her head was a hair band with a symbol that sorta resembled the legendary… er, our lawyers require us to call him Puck-Man… Wooh, quite the description for such a young lass.
She seemed rather surprised to see Zoey's friends all happy. "Oh! I see all of you are awake." The girl smiled.
Even though they never met, the rest of the group found the girl's disposition to be rather tame, and thus not threatening in the slightest. "Did you heal us while we were out cold?" Risa asked politely.
"Yep! All of you were in pretty bad shape when I discovered you. I found a girl who had fallen from waaay up in the sky and landed head first into the ground; she was lucky she was still alive after a nasty fall like that. Then, almost like a firework went off in front of me, a strange bright light appeared, and I found you people! You were pretty badly injured, so I had to treat your wounds the best I could do!" The girl nodded.
This story amazed a few souls within the room. "Wow, you must be a very talented nurse." Corina smiled.
"Actually…" The girl pressed her fingers nervously. "I'm only a nurse-in-training, so I don't know if I healed you all completely."
The shyness of the nurse-in-training made a few "squeal" in delight. "Nonsense, you did all you could do and we are grateful for it, Ms…" Fate started, before feeling rude.
"Compa. My name is Compa," the girl now known as… well, Compa smiled.
As they were talking away through some form of idle chat, a sudden action occurred that drew their attention. "Ah, Crackers! Where am I?" The group and Compa turned to see a 14-year-old girl, who had short purple hair, purple eyes, wore a purple and white hoodie shirt. This newcomer was also adorned with blue shorts; white and light-blue socks; white shoes; and control pad-like hairclips on her hair… all culminating in her unusual image.
She didn't look so good, but no matter what, she still attempted to get up. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Oh, you're up. Good morning, sleepyhead! Well…good afternoon technically…" Compa smiled.
The purple-haired girl smiled nervously. "Um, this isn't my room, huh? Is it yours? Why am I tucked into your bed so snugly? And who are those girls with you?" The girl asked. It was apparent that she had a teen girl attitude.
Compa closed her eyes and began to think. "Well, let's see… It all happened last night. I was looking up into the sky and saw a shooting star. That was you."
The purple-haired lass experienced her eyes growing three times their normal size that moment. "I was a shooting star? Are you yanking my hoodie strings? I fell from the sky?" The girl smiled nervously as she sweat-dropped.
However, Compa wasn't kidding. "I'm pretty sure. I followed you to the ground with my eyes and you definitely slammed into the landmass like a spear. Then, a bright light appeared, and I found nine girls who were out cold, plus some man who also was knocked out. After I pulled you out of the ground, I dragged all 11 of you to where I live and had to treat your wounds." Compa stated.
Another strange story caused more excitement. "Wow, you must be really strong!" Miyabi said, clearly amazed.
The purple-haired girl nodded vigorously. "Yeah, that's so cool! Thanks!" The girl grinned.
Compa blushed from all the praise. "Like I said, I attend a nursing school. Transporting limp bodies is part of our training, so I'm used to it! My name is Compa, by the way, um…" The young nurse was at a loss for words when she didn't know the mysterious girl's name.
The girl on the bed read her like an open book. "Oh, I'm Neptune." The young purple-haired woman answered. Zoey gasped in shock; is this the one Histoire told her about?
"Compa… Um… Should I call you… Com… Uh… Ah, whatevs; Compa is fine." Neptune laughed somewhat awkwardly.
'You got to be kidding me…' Zoey's face faulted.
Compa looked pretty satisfied with herself for some reason. "It's nice to meet you, Nept-… Neppee-…Neptaa-…Nepelvis… Nep…tumoar…" Compa held her head in pain and ended up with swirly eyes.
"Oh, is it confusing you? Okay, then you can call me Neptuna, Nep-Nep, Neppermint, or something else!" Neptune grinned nervously. Neppermint? Sounds like a fun name, though that of course was not the one Compa stuck to.
Compa smiled. "Okay, then I choose Nep-Nep! It's nice to meet you, Nep-Nep!" Compa was filled with glee, at least until she realized something. "Oh yes! I haven't gotten your names yet!" she gasped.
The Mew's went all out on their introductions. Take a seat, dear readers; we are in for a hefty role call.
"My name is Zoey Hanson. Nice to meet you, Compa."
"My name is Corina Bucksworth, the richest girl you'll ever see!"
"I'm Bridget Verdant. It's nice to meet you, Compa and Nep-Nep."
"Kikki Benjamin is my name!"
"Renee Roberts."
"I'm Ryoko Mitsurugi of Daimon High."
"My name is Moka Akiyasha. Don't forget it, now!"
"I'm Tsukune Ano."
"Miyabi Tsukuyomi of Gokoh High."
"Risa Fukuyama of the Fukuyama family."
"Fate Testarossa. Nice to meet you."
Compa smiled, both happy to learn all of their names, though also overwhelmed by the massive influx of text that attacked her. "Nice to meet you all!" she proudly proclaimed.
5 minutes later…
"By the way, I noticed Nep-Nep was all beat up. Allow me to take a look real quick." Compa stated.
Neptune nodded at the nurse's words, though she would be lying if she claimed that whatever Compa said didn't freak her out. "Oh yeah, I'm pretty scraped up, huh? Thanks nurse-in-training; I trust you with this important task!"
Compa nodded, nervous, but at the same time feeling somewhat professional. "Sure, but I've just started... And I'm not too savvy…. I got bandages all tangled up. Your injuries aren't too bad, but the scratches need disinfecting. After that, I'll wrap you up." She stated, an obvious shake in her voice. Compa got out some healing medicines and sprayed it on Neptune after taking off her clothing, discarding the hoodie and all into the basket over there, if you look closely. The Mew Mews and their friends blushed madly at Neptune's naked body, though an occasional peek didn't hurt. Neptune winced as Compa applied the medicine.
"It might sting a little, but hang in there. How much bandage should I use? A little? A lot?" Compa got out the bandage wrap.
Neptune had to actually think this through. "Hmm, use it all up! Wrap me up good so it doesn't come loose! Besides, it's a waste if they don't last." She said cheerfully.
"Okay, then I'll just use what I have. Please let me know if it's too tight. This way…" Compa looped the wrap around Neptune's body; "That way…" the nurse then wrapped it around Neptune's leg; this is going to be hilarious. Finally, she looped it around Neptune's body again. "Loop it over…" she then tightened the wrap.
One of the Mews was attentive. "Wait, you shouldn't-" Bridget gasped.
Neptune panicked. "Hold on! Slow down, be careful-" the young girl gasped for air.
However, Compa was either not listening, or didn't fully know what to do. "I don't want it to come loose or you'll trip over it!" she ended up doing the finishing touches. Oh, that looks pretty, eh, tight.
Neptune turned blue. "This is… way too tight…! Can't… breath!"
"I think you overdid it a little…" Tsukune smiled nervously and sweat dropped.
After finally realizing that what she did was most likely leading to the death of the poor girl, Compa quickly grew frantic. "Oh my gosh! I'll fix it right away!" She tried to take it off, but that only made Neptune tighter.
A shuffling sound was heard, and soon a Mew walked towards the strange scenario. "Hang on…" Renee got out some scissors and cut out all the bandages. In a few seconds, Neptune went from being tied up to being let loose. There might be a pun in there.
"Woo… that was weird. Anyways…," Neptune put on her clothes, "I was thinking while you were wrapping me in bondages… where am I?" The ditz asked with a meek smile.
That question reignited the perplexity of this situation. "Oh yeah!" Ryoko nodded, "Where are we?"
Compa grew flustered. "Th-They are bandages! And we're in the Central city of Planeptune."
"Planep… tune?" Miyabi blinked.
Neptune took the words of Compa and began mulling them over. For some reason, she remembered that name. "I remember someone mentioning the world below?" she placed her hand on her chin.
"Yes, that's correct. This is one of the major landmasses beneath Celestia. This world is called Gamindustri." Compa explained.
That piece of information was quite strange, to say the least. "One of the landmasses? So there are several?" Kikki gasped.
A nod was made by the nurse. "Why, yes. There are four major landmasses floating around. Sometimes they come close to one another and drift away. Remember?" Compa closed her eyes and smiled, wondering why everyone acted so surprised.
Well, I guess we all have to find out at some point. "Nope!" Neptune grinned, "Not at all! Planeptune? Landmasses? Rings no bells."
The bells were not ringing for anyone else, either. "So we must be in another world…" Ah, Bridget's figured it out.
This massive display of confusion, worry, trepidation, and, strangely enough, self-pity made Compa concerned, though at the same time excited. "Maybe you're suffering from amnesia? I've never seen a case in a person before… How original! Maybe you bumped your head really hard…" she suggested.
Neptune was intrigued by that word. "Is there like medication or something for that?" the purple-haired girl cocked an eyebrow.
Fate, who most likely knew all there was to know about amnesia, was the one who spoke. "No, it's a temporary thing. I'm sure it'll come back to you eventually." She smiled.
Compa nodded to that sentiment. "My Grandpa always said, 'Fancy may kill or cure!' Get some sleep, take it easy, and you'll be better in no time." She closed her eyes and smiled, content with her response.
Neptune was confused. "…Get some sleep? I feel like someone asked me to do something while I was knocked out…" she wearily stated.
What? Another peaking of interest? That's original! "I…" Zoey gasped, "I had the same dream too! Someone was crying out for help."
Of course, many were reluctant to agree with her view. "You sure about that, Zoey? Maybe it was your imagination?" Risa guessed.
Luckily, Zoey had a friend now. "I bet someone was far away and pa-choo! and then sent me and Zoey a telepathic message, y'know?" Neptune guessed as she rubbed the back of her head nervously. Did you get that? I sure didn't.
Compa placed her hand on her chin. "It's possible. Actually, many places, Planeptune included, are being threatened by more and more monsters lately. The military powers failed to keep them from appearing. We can only defend ourselves and keep them at bay now... Plus, there are signs of strangely-dressed girls who have magical powers like the fabled magical girls, but no one has seen one for over 300 years," the nurse stated. The Mews and their friends were silent for one minute (exact) until Tsukune spoke up.
"Then could there be someone controlling them?" he guessed.
It was an interesting thought. "Could be…" Renee shrugged.
'Twas a thought that brought out the best from everyone. "I bet our mission is to defeat the boss and save the universe!" Neptune grinned.
Strangely, Compa agreed with this absurd thought. "You may be right about the boss, but nobody has seen or heard anything about that. How would you find it? This is irrational, dangerous and totally impossible!" Compa protested.
"Don't doubt us." Zoey smiled heroically at her, "We handled many monsters before, and we still have questions that need to be answered."
Neptune suddenly jumped out of bed. "Zoey is right! We can't sit tight while people are in danger! Have you heard about striking when the iron's hot?" She agreed with the young Mew, if you couldn't get that.
The nurse considered their words. "I believe Grandpa did have a saying about that... Yes, that's right! I wanted to be a nurse to save people. So why would I save the injured, but not those threatened by monsters? How impolite of me!" Compa smiled nervously. "Everyone, I'm not the strongest, but I'll help. 'There's strength in numbers…' Grandpa told me that a long time ago when I was little."
However, another interesting question had to be asked. "But don't you have school?" Corina raised an eyebrow.
Luckily, due to plot reasons, there was a way for Compa to follow them. "Due to the recent monster attacks, school is canceled for now," she said cheerfully.
Well, I guess that helps us out. "Then it's settled!" Neptune smiled as she stood up and struck a pose, "Let's find that boss and save the universe!"
The mysterious but hyperactive Neptune, and nurse-in-training Compa; our heroes with their two new friends embarked on a quest to find out why magical girls and monsters are attacking people, as well as discovering the mysteries behind the Mistress, the one behind this terrible crisis…
