Vert's POV
I immediately rushed towards Planeptune's Basilicom after what Ryghts told me. I landed in front of the door as Histoire greeted me. "Oh Vert, what brings you here?(^_^)" She asked me.
"I need to speak with Plutia. And her, roommate." I said.
"Ah, you wish to speak with Patric then. I'll bring you to him." She said leading me into Plutia's room where she and a young girl were napping on her bed and a boy in a suit reading in a nearby chair. "Patric, you have a visitor." She said.
"Oh, who is-" He said dropping his book.
"Surprised to see me, Brother?" I asked walking up to him. This got Plutia to wake up.
"Wow, Patchy, you had a sister this whole time?" She said drowsily.
"May I talk with you outside, please?" I asked him. He nodded as I brought him outside. "Please, explain yourself." I said as he stayed silent. "Why did you stay away for so long?" I asked him.
"I didn't want to come home a failure." He whispered. "I was your hero growing up. Coming home as something not human." I said hiding my red eye. "I didn't want you to think of me any different."
"What a moronic thing to say." I said sighing. "I am not human either. I heard everything from Ryghts. She said she wanted to make a CPU for the Seven Sages. Thus making you a CPU."
"Part." I said. "They force fed me half of one, but then I began thrashing." I said recalling events from the lab. "They tried doing the same thing to Peashy too. I don't think they did, though."
"Still, this is no excuse for leaving me even after Plutia helped you escape." I said with tears in my eyes.
"I'm sorry, Little Hime. But now, your knight has returned." he said hugging me.
"Brother, welcome back." I said patting his back. I looked over and saw Plutia and the young girl next to her.
"Wowee! It's sooooo great you guys found each other again." She said with her usual smile.
"Yay! I have an aunt now!" the young girl said tackling me.
"That's Peashy. Little charge from the days at the Seven Sages base." Brother said patting Peashy's head.
Neptune's POV
"Hey, can you let me in?" I asked the man in a black and red jacket.
"Do you have business with Lady White Heart?" He said with his arms crossed.
"I do, but she's not here yet! She sent me here!" I said.
"Kaito, let her in." I hear Blanc say as she and Noire arrived behind me.
"Fine." He said leaving as we went to Blanc's room.
"Alright, spill it, Neptune. Why did you want Croire?" Noire asked me.
"Because, I heard she had the power to travel worlds! Do you know how much fun that sounds?" I said as they both didn't believe me. "Okay, I'll talk. I've never really done anything for myself. I wanted to be an adventurer. And I heard Croire's not exactly a good person. I figured I could use her power to make a difference, or something. I didn't really think this through, that much." She said scratching the back of her head.
"You're just like the Neptune we saw here a while ago." Blanc said as I grew shocked.
"Ooh! You met another me? What was she like?" I asked getting excited.
"She was exactly like you. Silly, almost absent minded, a bit self centered." Noire said hoitilly.
"With words like that, no wonder you're a loner." I said in response.
"I am not a loner!" Noire replied back.
"Uh huh, sure you're not." I responded back.
"You seem almost too calm around CPUs. I was wondering about that." Blanc asked me.
"Well you guys were all humans before the CPU Memory, right? I was originally going to use one myself, but my folks stopped me. I had this name planned out too! Neppool. Captain Neppool!" I said smirking. "No?"
"No." Blanc replied.
"Just Neppool."
"Yeah. That sounds better." Blanc agreed.
Vert's POV
"At least with this, I don't believe we'll have to worry about hostages. There were only the two of you left behind in the base." I said as Peashy and Brother nodded.
"So all we need to do is defeat the Seven Sages once and for all? Good." He scoffed.
"Oh! Can I torture them?" Plutia asked with an innocent smile.
"At this point you might as well. It'd be considered payback." I said crossing my arms.
"Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!"
