Chapter 6: Questing

EX: Hello everyone and welcome to Chapter 6 of my Saiyandimension Neptunia fanfic. We left off with Zack going to the guild, to do some quests for Neptune's pudding.

Neptune: Ethy, make me the protagonist of your story! Make me as strong as Zack!

EX: Uh, let me see if I can do that, *opens up book and closes it* No I can't

Neptune: Why? Why can't you?

EX: You are strong enough in your HDD form

Neptune: How about if you feed me pudding instead?

EX: What? No! *Is visibly blushing*

Neptune: Oh come on, it won't kill you. *Ethereal starts running and Neptune chases after him*

EX: How many times do I have to say no!? *Iris Heart appeared in front of him, holding her whip*

Zack: Well since Ethereal is busy, I will be posting from now on, enjoy the chapter!

-At The Guild, 10 minutes later-

Zack was amazed to see so many people here, he didn't think it would be that popular but then again when does killing monsters not satisfy anyone?

"Well well well, look's who here..." Again Zack, knew who it was and frowned as he saw her. It was IF...

"What IF, you care to insult me again, or are you going to help me find a quest?" Zack was fed up with her constant insults, it made him sick to hear them. Since the first time, he has been training his butt off, to become someone that the CPUs depend on.

"No insults. To be honest, I want to see which one you would pick." Said IF, making Zack confused. Ehh? What did she just say? Did someone mind control her or something? Then Zack heard two familiar voices heading his way.

"Remember what I said, Zack..." Nepgear again sounded too sweet, making him afraid.

"Y-yeah..." He remembered someone who was just as scary as she was acting now. Actually it was two people, Chi-Chi and Bulma. Now he understood why Goku and Vegeta are scared of their wifes. Even though Nepgear isn't you know, it's still scary to see her like this.

"Zack! Where is the pudding you were going to buy me today?" Asked Neptune, who was angry right now.

"Calm down Neptune! I didn't have any money so I thought I could go and find a quest for me to do, to get some credits to buy it for you." Zack noticed an interesting quest, and started to grin as he ripped it off the board.

"Well looks like we are going to kill a dragon." Not going to lie, the reward was substantial. 1000 credits! More than he bargained for, and he probably can buy more pudding for Neptune, so she can enjoy it. Zack watched her eat her pudding and ate an entire crate in about 30 minutes. He was wondering one thing, How the hell is she still healthy after eating all of that!?

The reward could have been more, but 1000 credits is enough for him. He might be able to split the other 500 credits to spend on his own needs. Zack knew IF was following them to the cave where the dragon was located. He decided to wait until they defeated the monster, to tell her to stop hiding and show herself.

"Alright, so we're going into a cave? Nepgear is this just a boss, or are there more monsters to defeat?" Asked Zack, as he focused on the dragon's energy.

"I don't know, you would think since it is a dragon, there would be more monsters to aid the dragon. Oh by the way, sister is on your back." She was right on the money. If the dragon was a boss, there would be other monsters to defeat. But on the paper, all it said was Defeat the dragon. Reward: 1000 credits. He wasn't surprised to find Neptune once again, getting a piggy ride from him. Zack just accepted it, because if he questioned this, it would result in more problems than what he wants it to be.

We entered the cave, seeing that there was no dragon.

"Huh? Where is the big lizard?" Asked Neptune, and Zack was wondering the same thing, until he felt the dragon's energy behind them.

"LOOK OUT!" Zack rushed over to Nepgear and pushed themselves both out of the dragon's line of fire. Wow this dragon is smarter than it looks, using a sneak attack on us like that. No wonder why there was so many people who never came back from this quest. This dragon used tactics, to kill it's victims.

"Ooo playing dirty are we, you OVER SIZED LIZARD!?" Zack yelled, making the dragon angry. And when anything is angry, they lose their concentration on what they are doing. The dragon flew at Zack, enraged.

'That's it! Come closer!' When it was only a few feet away from Zack, the saiyan disappeared behind the dragon, giving it's back a hard kick and sent it flying into the cave wall.

"Let's see how you like this!" Zack shot a frenzy of ki blasts where the dragon was. But that wasn't enough to even scratch the dragon.

"Ehhh? What the hell!? I barely even scratched him, wh-" That's when Zack felt another energy, different from anything he had ever faced so far. He felt it being transferred to the dragon to increase its strength. He looked over to see a beam hitting the dragon, from what looked like a rat and a small girl, wearing a hoodie holding some kind of staff.

"Nepgear! Neptune! I am going to beat up whoever is healing this dragon. While I do that, try to distract the dragon, until I break the staff." Zack flew over to the rat and the girl.

"Come on let's go Nepgear!" Said Purple Heart, holding her katana.

"Yes! Let's do this!" Both sisters charged at the dragon full on.

IF followed Zack, trying to keep a low profile. She was shocked to see that he could fly and use weird abilities, similar to the CPUs.

"Hey what do you two think you are doing?" Zack asked the rat, and girl holding the weird red staff.

"We're busted chu!" The rat said.

"We're doing nothing, sir!" The girl said, making him question them. He knew they were lying, he could tell from their faces.

"Oh really, so when I saw that magic staff's beam hitting that dragon, it was nothing too. Am I right?" Zack had a dark red aura surround him as he continued.

"Yes, that's exactly what happ-" The girl stopped noticing her mouse companion, running away.

"WE ARE SO DEAD CHUUUU!

"Wait for me Warechu!" They both ran the other way from the saiyan, as he crushed the staff with his foot.

"As the old saying goes, when the cat is out, the mice will play. Time to have some fun~" Zack teleported in front of them, as they stopped.

(A/N: Hold up, before anyone gets any ideas. Yes Zack, is part sadist, similar to Iris Heart, but he is not full on sadist like her. This only happens when they make Zack angry, another similarity between him and Iris Heart. But only when it is his enemies, he goes half-sadist. Instead of using a weapon, he breaks their bones. And another note: Iris Heart will be in the story eventually, just not yet. Back to the story)

"I am going to enjoy breaking those little bodies of yours!" The teen said, cracking his knuckles.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! CHUUUUU!" Screams were heard from inside the forest, around the cave.

"I-is it just me or is Zack a sadist, like Iris Heart?" IF asked herself, afraid of what might happen if they met.

Zack held up both of them. The mouse by his tail and the girl by her shirt collar. "There, now they're unconscious and their bones are broken. Better leave them in the cave next to the dragon, who I assume is injured badly now. Might as well check on the sisters." He flew back with the girl and mouse in tow, to the cave. The dragon was still alive, but he didn't mean to do anything. So that must mean that staff that these two were holding was a mind control device.

"Hey, Neptune! Nepgear! I brought these two along with. They were the ones I assume were controlling the dragon." I dropped them in front of the dragon.

"What should we do with them?" Nepgear asked Zack, who gave a grin. The dragon began to look at the two that controlled him.

"Leave them to me..." The dragon told us, picking the two unconscious up into his claws, flying away.

"Well I guess now is the time." Zack trailed off, to yell for IF. "IF GET OVER HERE! I KNOW YOU ARE THERE!"

"Wait IF was following us? Why?" Neptune asked.

"Correction, she was following me." Zack told the sisters.

IF walked into the cave to see them. "How did you know I was there?"

"I knew you were following me, since we left town." IF questioned that.

"Were you watching me?" IF asked with a hint of anger in her voice.

"No! I was sensing your energy. Saiyans can sense energy if they are correctly trained in it." He didn't want to tell them that they could do it, too. The laws of this world might be different than his own, thus resulting in many problems to manipulate the skills Zack uses himself.

"Let's go and turn in that quest, guys!"

"YEAH!" Neptune said, again on Zack's back getting yet another piggy back ride.

Both Zack and Neptune, were walking back to town. When Nepgear noticed IF standing there dumbfounded.

"Hey IF, you coming?" It took a few second for IF to answer. The abilities of Zack was incomprehensible, and she didn't believe that he was that strong. She smiled, seeing that she can trust Zack now.

"Hey guys, wait up!" IF said joining them.

The trip back wasn't anything special. But IF was apologizing to Zack more than he thought she would.

-At the Guild, 20 minutes later-

"Okay IF! I get it alright! You're sorry. Jeez you must have said it about 50 times already!" Zack said, in the guild with the crates of pudding he bought from one of the shops there.

"Actually she said it 30 times." Neptune told Zack, when he raised an eyebrow at her.

"What? It's important to keep count." Zack saw a cup of pudding in her hand.

"Uh, Neptune?" Asked Zack, looking at her like she's crazy.

"Yeah?"

"Is that, a cup of pudding you are holding there?"

"Yup!"

"Isn't that from one of the crates?"

"Yup!" It's official, he knew she was crazy about pudding but not this crazy, that she couldn't wait until we got home first.

"NEPTUNE! I specifically told you not to eat any pudding until we got back to the basilicom!" Zack told the goddess, who looked away with a angry pout.

"But I am hungry now..."

Zack eventually accepted the fact, that he couldn't make Neptune stop eating it.

"Fine. Eat that one and you can't eat any others until we get back to the basilicom. Got it?"

Neptune hugged the teen, "You're the BEST! ZACK!"

She ran off to go see what her sister was doing.

"Things don't seem to change with Neptune? Do they?" IF asked Zack.

"No and I just met her a couple days ago, poking me with a stick saying I am a zombie." IF laughed at that.

"Yep that's our Neptune." IF got something out of her pocket and gave it to him.

"Eh? What's this?" Zack saw a gift wrapped box in front of him.

"It's something that I thought you would need, since you train in unarmed combat and all. Come on now, open it!" IF told him.

"Okay."

Zack tore open the box to see a new Gi that was combined with the same colors of the one he wears now. But it was different. (A/N: The same Gi that Goku wore during Resurrection of F, and DBS. But it is all black with red trimming instead of orange with blue. Note: Zack will become a super saiyan god, but way later in the story. It might be a different way, of how the ritual goes though, since I thought of it.)

"Wow thanks IF!" The girl smiled, seeing that he liked it.

"No problem, it was the least I could do."

Zack thanked IF for the new Gi, saying goodbye to the guild and carrying the pudding crates with one hand. They all walked home. Zack was the most happy of all, since he made up with the girl. She trusts him now. It's weird, but could he have forgotten something?

"W-where are we Warechu?" The girl looked around to see that they were in a nest of some sort.

"I-I don't know... CHUUU!" The rat noticed the dragon in front of them. He attacked them, even with their broken bones.

Zack: And scene... so did you guys enjoy the chapter? I know I did, since IF and I made up, and I got new clothing to boot! Now just so you know Ethereal said, I will become a super saiyan god. Much further into the story...

Iris Heart: Looks like Ethy needs someone to punish him. Hehe~ *Cracking her whip*

EX: MMPPPPHHH MMPPPHHH *He struggled to get away from Iris Heart, but it didn't work. Screams were heard all across Gamindustri*

Zack: And now I got to go make sure Iris Heart doesn't kill Ethereal. Bye! *He teleported*
