Neo woke up the next morning, he walked from his bed expecting to see Vert asleep in front of the her game again but saw no one in the room. He walked towards the door going out he walked across Chika. She quickly turned around seeing Neo walking towards her.
"Wait just a moment there Chika." Neo called startling Chika where she stood. "That was nice sleeping technique you showed me yesterday."
"Usually no one remembers after I do that though." Chika turned with confidence over her actions. "Are you supposed to be walking now?" Chika asked noticing Neo was walking slow and limping a little.
"First is I do remember that you head butted me and second I'll be fine as long as I don't do too much work on my left arm." Neo answered Chika moving his left arm a little bit. "Though where is Vert?" Neo asked.
"I think she was supposed to meet with the other goddesses for an urgent matter." Chika said while Neo just looked down at the basilicom. "You're not thinking of doing another crazy stunt are you?" Chika asked noticing how Neo moved. "It looks like you're planning to take easy quest because you're bored."
"Not at all..." Neo answered having a little difficulty on walking.
"Seriously..." Chika sighed chasing after Neo supporting him while he walks "You're more trouble than my actual job... Will you just stay still for a while will you?" Chika then led Neo back to his bed. "Perhaps you want another magic or in simpler terms head butt." Chika smiled. Neo sighed closing his eyes breathing steadily "Good boy." Chika smiled patting Neo's head as if he was a child.
Vert entered a room with three other people seeing "She's here finally." A black haired twin girl with red eyes spoke crossing her arms seeing Vert entered. "What took you so long even Neptune got here earlier than you." she added pointing a purple haired girl standing behind her.
"Come on noire... you're making me sound like I'm lazy." Neptune said cheerfully, looking around the basilicom "So what's this meeting all about." Noire, Blanc, Vert and Neptune looked at each other hving no idea who even called the meeting.
"It's about the increasing numbers of monsters and even the appearance of new ones..." A book floated from behind neptune getting to the middle of the room. A girl appeared sitting between the pages of the open book. "As you can see from these new types are popping all over the place... some may pose no danger at all..." She said showing the goddess pictures of weird dogoo's and new cute monsters. "And some are rather more dangerous than ever..." She said showing pictures of defeated large monsters, the CPU's looked at the picture with a worried expression.
"Well anything will be easy for the main character all we need to do is to crunch our levels to get stronger than them right?" Neptune said full of confidence in her face "You're way too worried about it histoire."
Histoire then simply looked to Neptune with doubts on her face. "You know it's easier said than done in your case..." She then showed graphs of the monsters appearance. "The problem is... these are no ordinary occurrence even here at Leanbox a powerful Blue Ancient Dragon already appeared... I don't have much information about it yet but given these sudden changes in them... I fear that it's not yet over..."
"It's not over yet?" Noire asked with Histoire turning towards her.
"I think some of them are evolving... more likely they're getting stronger and stronger..." she said
"So there's one more evolution?" Neptune said. 'As far as I know that in games a monster will only evolve two times before it gets to its strongest form!"
Histoire took a deep breath thinking of how simple Neptune thinks at times "I hope that's the case..." She answered. The monsters as far as she knows have only changed once with that they managed to get dangerously stronger. If they can evolve more than two times it would cause more trouble for them. "If we don't prepare for them it would be really dangerous for anyone to face... even for you CPU's, especially you Neptune if you slack around all the time you're level might reset so please do your duties right." Histoire warned with Neptune just smiling at her.
"I see... so they're basically getting stronger right?" Blanc asked, Histoire nodded in response "It will be easier if we take training more seriously then."
"That is... if we can keep up the pace." Histoire answered with the goddess thinking of a little doubt in their abilities. Blanc at that moment thought of sharing about the existence of Neo's transformation but she found it unnecessary to do such a thing. She then looked at Vert. Blanc pulled Vert to the sides.
"Do you want to discuss something?" Vert asked.
"You know about it don't you?" She asked with a serious expression on her face. "You know about the special thing about Neo?" She then asked again with Vert trying to remember. She thought of the time where Neo fought against hordes of monsters.
"You mean... that transformation of his?" Vert whispered with the Noire and Neptune wondering what the they're talking about. "Should we tell the others about it?" She asked Blanc. she quickly answered shaking her head due to the two walking closer.
"Are you talking of about a cheat code?" Neptune asked with Vert and Blanc quickly turning towards them.
"Of course not... It's what we might call an early partnership." Vert answered to Neptune leaving the scene, while the three just watched her.
Vert entered her room to check up on Neo to see him in front of the game. She saw Neo and Chika playing a game together with Chika complaining on how Neo was beating her with him using only one hand for the controller. "You're cheating aren't you?!" Chika shouted as another round was finished. "There's no way that I can lose with you using only a one hand."
"It's called being strategic, Look it up." Neo answered confidently moving his right arm. Neo then quickly pressed a button of his controller with Chika panicking suddenly.
"Ah! That right there is cheating!" Chika quickly grabbed her controller pressing it in panic. Vert doesn't usually see Chika playing games, especially enjoying things with Neo knowing that they're not really in good terms. "Neo stop spamming that move!"
She walked closer to the two, With them unable to notice her at first being focused on the game. She watched for a while as the two played their game. "Hey... that's not a fair move!" Neo said with Chika using the same set of movements repeatedly. The game ended with Chika's victory.
"Hah, take that!" Chika stood up laughing with her victory. "Oh it's Vert, How was the meeting?" She asked with Neo just turning his head to look at Vert.
"Ah yes... it was all fine?" Vert said a little weird by Chika's cheerfulness but then looked towards Neo. "Can I ask one thing Neo?" Neo nodded to answer. "It's about your transformation... I need a little detail."
Neo moved his head to look seeing only his bracelet covered with the bandages. "Ah that bracelet isn't it?" Chika spoke. "It was a weird thing you see... I can't even remove it from your hand so I just covered the whole thing!" Neo removed the bandages around his wrist revealing the bracelet. It got a little bit larger. "It's a weird thing though."
Vert quickly looked at the bracelet gently lifting Neo's hand because of his injury. "This is the item that allows you to transform?" Vert asked.
"Yes..." Neo answered feeling slight pain from moving his left hand. "It's an interface..." Neo said pressing the button "See?" Neo revealed the interface.
"What?" Vert and Chika asked looking around the room, Neo then realized that he's the only one who could see the interface his bracelet. "It's nowhere..." Vert looked at the bracelet again only to see its lining glowing with a flowing light. "But I guess it's activated."
"It's the OS..." Neo explained "It also serves as the a container unit for weaponries as such..." He said, Vert only found it interest.
Vert touched the bracelet seeing how it works, she looked at every detail, at one moment she felt something different about the bracelet. "It's quite... different than anything I've ever felt before..." She said letting go of the bracelet. "I suggest that we let you recover for now." Vert added leaving the room with Neo and Chika just looking at each other a little confused by her behaviour.
In a hidden part of Gamindustri. "It's time for me to move out." Macin-T said opening his eyes stretching his boosters. "It's time to show those goddesses a challenge!" He laughed emitting a deep red energy.
After a few weeks of recovery Neo recover a bit from his injury, The CPU's worked on the cases of the increasing number of monsters and their evolution. It was to prevent the citizens from panicking because of the rising threat. Leanbox was less affected by the problem due to it's location. Neo is seen on a chair in the Basilicom as he doing nothing.
Vert was currenly in a situation within Leanbox as it was under attack by an unknown entity. As Green Heart she arrived the situation seeing a deep red beam being scattered every damaging the building in the area. Macin-T was seen above Leanbox he then quickly aimed his cannons at a building firing a beam towards it slicing the building in half. "Stop this at once!" Green Heart tried to attack him from behind but Macin-T boosted upward evading Green Heart's attack.
"Like hell I will, you're taking the fun out of it!" Macin-T open pods from his shoulder launching tiny missiles from it chasing Green Heart. The missiles moved at high speed with Green Heart boosting herself to match its speed. "Dance goddess dance!" Macin-T laughed watching Green Heart run away from the attack. Green Heart knew what she has to do to avoid collateral damage in Leanbox she simply needs to lure Macin-T out of Leanbox.
"You're taking me too lightly!" She shouted spinning her spear stopping the missiles from moving then exploding in front of her. Macin-T smiled seeing the explosion but from the smoke Green Heart's spear pierced through hitting Macin-T on the shoulder. "You really should start taking me seriously... or else it might be the end of you!" Vert said pulling back her spear from Macin-T.
"Seriously isn't it?" Macin-T's expression turned serious, with him moving his shoulder closing his eyes. "You really got guts lady..." Macin-T then opened his eyes with it glowing. "You're gonna regret this you know. OS Update, Maverick!" Macin-T was covered in light. Green Heart took stance feeling the danger from Macin-T when he got out of the light his whole body is thinner than the previous as if almost armourless. The only weapon visible was two handguns. and a few boosters found on the waist and his feet.
"Is that it then?" Green Heart crossed her arms expecting something larger than the previous. Macin-T quickly raised his pistol firing one of them launching a large beam nearly covering Green Heart. in reaction Green Heart tried to slice the attack in half only to be knocked away by the attack landing on a nearby forest. "That was..." Green Heart quickly raises her gaze seeing Macin-T above her pointing large cannon at her.
"How about this attack Goddess, Can you survive this?" Macin-T pressed the trigger firing a line of Red Beam creating multiple explosion n the area. The cannon quickly disappeared and red lining appeared behind Macin-T form some kind of backpack weaponry. After connecting all the line the item manifested. "I've a little delivery for you!" Macin-T opened multiple pods from the backpack launching a barrage of missile dropping to Green Heart causing multiple explosions in the area.
Neo heard the battle from the basilicom walking to the balcony of the building. Looking at his hand he removed the bandages covering it moving his left arm stretching it out. "Go help her..." Chika said to Neo seeing him preparing to leave. Neo quickly transformed himself into Line-X.
"I will." Line-X answered to Chika boosting upward to the skies at high speed. Chika just looked from afar hearing the explosions. Line-X floated above the forest seeing Macin-T from above.
Macin-T removed his upgrade looking up feeling Line-X's pressence. "There you are..." Macin-T turned with Line-X drop kicking him from above the two of them landed on the ground. "A little Impatient are you?" Macin-T pointed his pistol towards Line-X pressing the trigger. Before the beam was launched Line-X boosted backward dodging the attack. "OS vs OS... I wonder between us which is the stronger one?" Macin-T hovered near Line-X.
"I don't care..." Line-X summoned his own pistols. The two of them flew through the forest firing their own beam at each other. Green Heart noticed that the barrage from Macin-T calmed down. She saw Line-X and Macin-T facing off against each other. Macin-T stood in one point firing beam shots from his weapon which collided with Line-X's beam attacks. Getting a bit closer Line-X tried to slice Macin-T but he quickly dodged spinning smashing Line-X with his pistol, Line-X was unaffected by the attack and quickly kicked Macin-T sending him through the forest.
"Nice Kick!" Macin-T summoned two handheld cannons using one of them to stop him from crashing and the other one firing it at Line-X. Several tubes connected Macin-T's left arm to the cannon it's holding. "Skill: Maverick Blast" Macin-T pressed the trigger; Line-X didn't detect the attack as it suddenly exploded on his body. "Skill: Gatling Maverick" Line-X rolled from the previous attack. He felt multiple hits from unknown sources unable to detect the attack. Line-X quickly took defence feeling the attack he tried to move away knowing that his defence can't take the damages. "OS Mode Ultimate: Full Burst!" Macin-T's whole body was suddenly equipped with heavily weapon armor. Pointing dozens of range weaponries Macin-T fired at Neo scattering range attack everywhere. Line-X quickly flew trying to dodge the attack but he saw Green Heart he quickly dashed towards her blocking the projectiles.
"Neo!" Green Heart shouted seeing Line-X standing in front of her slightly damaged. "Are you okay?!" She quickly rushed towards Neo.
"I'm fine..." Line-X answered, Green Heart saw Line-X shield taking most of the damaged but it was completely destroyed by Macin-T's attack. The situation was getting worse Line-X looked around him seeing a burning forest after the attack. Line-X saw Macin-T was preparing for another attack Line-X rushed towards him meeting a shot of beam on his way exploding.
"There no way you can win Line-X." Macin-T smiled walking towards the smoke and from it two spears emerged hitting his attachments making it fall to the ground. Green Heart dashed forward and continued to attack. Macin-T raised his arm to defence while is armor was disappearing from him. "This is bad..." He tried to escape by hovering backward but Green Heart followed him.
"You're not getting away!" Green Heart shouted spinning her spear and then smashing Macin-T to the ground. Macin-T moved his pistol; Line-X quickly kicked him upward with a spear thrown by Green Heart pushing him back to the ground. Macin-T knelt to the ground, Seeing an opening Line-X attacked once again firing a deep blue energy towards him.
Macin-T looked while the beam approached for it to be suddenly swiped to the side by someone. A figure floated in front of Macin-T releasing a yellow colored particle from a large wing shaped boosters. "You're..." Macin-T stood up looking at the figure "Win-O..." A Blue haired boy with green eyes, Win-O's armor is in deep white color with lining around that is in many colors.
"Macin-T... you have orders to retreat." Win-O spoke in a serious deep tone. "Insubordination will not be tolerated.". Line-X appeared beside Win-O trying to attack. "And... you don't think that you overwhelmed Macin-T that you can do the same to me." Win-O opened his palm pushing Line-X with an unseen force. Green Heart tried to stop Line-X only to be pushed too.
"What the hell..." Line-X stood up quickly seeing Win-O challenging him to attack again. Line-X opened his thrusters lauching himself full speed at Win-O.
"Are you serious?" Win-O then clotheslined Line-X followed by a punch making a powerful shockwave in the area. Green Heart quickly tried to attack Win-O "I've had enough... OS update XP." There was no change in Win-O's armor but in a sudden Green Heart and Line-X reverted to their forms. "You can't win against me." Win-O confidently said emitting an ominous aura.
"What's happening?" Vert said trying to transform only to have no access to her transformation.
"It's simple... I absorbed all your EXP." Win-O walked closer towards the further weakening them. "The closer I am to you the more EXP you lose thus your body cannot access the Goddess and OS forms." When Macin-T tried to stand up Win-O held him down. "Now... I bid you farewell, seems the plan here was not successful, there are still more to do in Lastation" Win-O moved his arm forming a gate which he pulled Macin-T with him. "Remember... you can never win not against me." Win-O said while the gate closed.
Neo and Vert sat down regaining their lost strength bit by bit. "What a fearsome power..." Vert said with a little worried on her face. Win-O's power to absorb the EXP of other beings around him with such ability it's practically impossible to defeat him. "This is trouble... Lastation he said right?" She said standing up helpinh Neo. "We need to warn Noire about this."
Reaching the basilicom Vert discovered that the communication system of Leanbox was busted by the attack of Macin-T. "This is..." Vert look sat down with worry.
Neo then walked towards Vert "I can deliver the message to Lady Noire, it's the only choice." Neo calmed down looking at his bracelet. Vert knew it her only option decided to let Neo handle the current situation. Neo left for the Lastation that very day.
Vert watched Neo leaving the Basilicom from the window with Chika on her side. "Do you have any idea what OS's are?" Vert asked Chika.
"I have no knowledge of it." Chika answered leaving Vert wondering that Neo really is either way she decided to begin her investigation about the OS's. But she no idea where to start.
Neo got out of Leanbox transforming into Line-X. He flew upward feeling a little bit different than usual. All he could remember is the dominance that Win-O shown when he revealed his ability. He gritted his teeth in frustration over the fact flying at full speed towards Lastation. "I'll get back at that guy for sure." Line-X whispered to himself while flying.
Back to the unknown area Macin-T was thrown on the floor by Win-O. "HAHAHAHA, pathetic!" A crackling voice echoed from the darkness with Macin-T staring at the darkness. "You defeated by Line-X and a goddess, no wonder you're just a child inside the head of your's, What a big disappointment towards our boss!"
"SHUT UP!" Macin-T shouted pulling out a cannon pointing it at the darkness. Before he fire his weapon he was suddenly pushed by a black claw like object from it.
From the darkness emerged a girl in an armor in dark color extending her hand towards Macin-T "You really think you can beat me?" She asked in a hysterical voice. "You're no more than just a rag doll for me MacMac." The girl then walked towards Win-O "But you on the other hand got a lot perks in your OS don't you Winny?"
Win-O gazed down on her with a serious expression on his face "That is enough... Orb-S." He said slicing off the Energy holding down Macin-T.
"My my my my, has your OS's good nature affected your head Winny, That's no good after all we're are to destroy everything... I'm afraid if you show more mercy towards the goddess and Line-X I'll have no choice but to kill you." Orb-S grinned with her eyes full of distortion with Black Energy emerging from him.
Win-O sighed "I'd like to see you try." He answered with Orb-S enjoying it a little bit. Win-O released an intimidating Aura of his own surprising Orb-S a little bit.
"My my my, It seems that you haven't lost that touch." Orb-S closed her eyes with her presence turning a little serious. She walked pass Win-O going outside the door. "I'll show you how it's done Macmac so take some pointers... as for our brother on that side, I'll show him what happens to someone who sides with the goddess..." Orb-S grin reached from ear to ear before finally exiting that room.
"Man I really hate that girl." Macin-T stood up from Orb-S's attack looking at the slight damages caused to him.
"But there's no denying her abilities..." Win-O whispered walking towards the dark area with Macin-T looking at exit a little frustrated by Orb-S before following Win-O.
