Dammit! Microsoft Word has failed me and the first time I tried to write Episode 7, FanFiction logs me out! (It wasn't intentional, internet failed me)
FUCK!
Let's try this again...
Oh by the way: #SupportFrance!
HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA
FIGHTING FOR THE GAMING FUTURE
Episode 7: Noble, the fighter of justice and the Eager Editors
We arrived at the Basilicom's guild to choose a quest. "Also, if you told me, IF, you work here too right?"
"Yep." IF confirms "I've been taking missions ever since I was 12, actually." That young, huh? She presses a button then the quest's information shows up on her.
"This one's easy. I'll take care of it."
"OK! We'll select another quest then! Good Luck, Iffy!" Nep said and IF went for her quest.
"OK, Noble! Choose one for us!" Nep said to me. I went and pushed a random button, the quest info showed up:
Quest:
Client: Basilicom Staff
We received reports of a mech attempting to terrorize the tourists in the Otori Forest, where a natural resort is located. Intercept the mech at all costs, we also received reports that a girl with a red scarf that calls herself "The Heroine of Justice" is also heading to intercept the mech, provide assistance if possible.
"'Heroine of Justice'?" I ask myself
"That HAS to be Nisa!" Nep said "She keeps telling herself that she will eradicate all evil from this world, but she IS quite the fighter!" If she is, then I better not underestimate her.
"OK, we'll take this one!" I press the button again, accepting the quest. "Alright, Party! Let's go!" Heh, 'Party' as in: Group of playable characters in an RPG, she makes various game references...
We arrived at Otori Forest, and we saw the mech destroying the resort.
"Ready, Party?" Nep readied her katana, while Plutia grabbed her doll, Peashy prepeared her paws and Compa was reloading a... Syringe? WTF? Oh well.
"OI! Mech!" I called the mech, he turned his attention to me. "Why not try your hand at something smaller?!" That got his attention and the mech moved to my position, Neptune jumped from behind me and hit the mech with a slash, damaging it.
"My turn!"
(Play Here: "Engage" by Daisuke Ishiwatari)
I punch the mech, it seems he's very light, I proceed for a 6 combo hit, combo link then hit him more, totaling 15 hits.
"Watch out! He's gonna punch!" The mech's arm was heading for me, but I avoided it quickly and the arm was cut off by a yellow beam blade.
"The heroine of justice NISA, at your service!" Oh, so this is the Nisa girl Neptune was talking about. She had a black shirt with her front unzipped, but at least her flat modesty was protected by a bandage.
"Thanks for your help, but I think WE should be helping you!" I tell her, then head to do more combos on the mech, then I launch myself in the air and prepare my energy wave punch, or...
"HADOUKEN!" At the same time I launch my wave, Compa shoots the mech, dealing a chain combo damage. "Nice shot, Compa!" She waves back, then I start kicking and punching the mech at the same time that Nisa swipes her blade at him. Then we suddenly sync moves, almost as if we were total mirrors, but I'm not fighting the same way at least... "TATSUMAKI SENPUU KYAKU!" I use the Tornado kick on the mech and smash it down on the ground.
"This is the end!" I then punch the mech with enough force to get in his body and take out his energy sphere, his 'heart' so to speak, he drops down and de-materializes.
"That... was... AWESOME!" Neptune screamed in happiness "You've GOT to teach me your moves!" I just break a smile.
"I take these moves from fighting games that are known world-wide back at my dimension." I was explaining my custom moves "Some of the are various from a famous fighting game franchise: Street Fighter. But I do have other specials attacks when I'm using something to attack. And before you ask, yes, I fought with swords, guns and many other things before becoming a martial artist. Until now I am a master on them!"
"Can you swing my katana?" Neptune asked, handing her katana to me. I take it and head to an open field.
(Play here: "Battle is Romantic" from Hyperdimension Neptunia U Action Unleashed)
(A/N: Update on the soundtrack! Hyperdimension OSTs will also be here too!)
I swing her katana various times, and in various ways, as if fighting an opponent with it. Truth is, I STARTED fighting with swords and other weapons before going in hand-to-hand combat. Neptune and the others seem surprised by my swordsmanship, but, heh, why wouldn't they? A guy that fights with his own hands is perfectly maneuvering a katana sword, how come that's NOT surprising?
I stop maneuvering it when I slash it down in the air, after regaining my balance, I throw it at Neptune, who catches it with ease, but with her mouth open.
"A fly's gonna get in your mouths, come on, close them!" I say to them
"That, was simply... AWESOME!" I hear voices, but they don't come from the girls, since they are still frozen about what I did there, then Neptune looks to the side.
"Oh! Dengekiko! Famitsu!" She calls th- FAMITSU?
"OK, what's with the references in this world?" I say to no one in particular, I look to where Neptune was and see two girls: One is blonde and has her hair in a ponytail fixated with a red ribbon, a black shirt top and a... giant pen? The other had orange hair, a blue with white stripes shirt, white cartoon gloves, you know, those that look like Mickey Mouse's gloves, and a giant lobster for... no apparent reason...
"So you girls are the personifications of Dengeki PlayStation and Famitsu, huh?" I speak to them, they don't really quite get what I mean
(Play here: "Battle is Toxic" by Umegaki Luna)
(A/N: Umegaki Luna was who also composed the amazing Megaman Zero soundtrack! And she worked on the OST for HDN U as well!)
Turns out these two girls are reporters for the Gamindustri Magazine and were doing various articles about the CPUs, they both seemed interested in me, since I wasn't from this world, so I took in their interview while we were going back to Planeptune. I told them how I lived, where I'm from, how did I get here and other stuff they questioned me, heck, they even questioned who of the goddesses I liked more, which made Nep blush.
I answered: "I'm still not THAT intimate with them yet, how would I say it now? The best thing to do is to at least get to know them, and THEY will become more intimate with you, that's how you build a relationship, you trust that person, that person trusts you, you better not break that trust or it's Game Over...Literally."
When the interview ended, we had already arrived at the basilicom.
"So, um... Why did you call us 'personifications' before?" Famitsu asked me.
"Oh, that's because back at my world, there are two game magazines that are called 'Dengeki PlayStation' and 'Famitsu', and they are VERY famous. So it would be ironic that I would meet a Dengekiko and a Famitsu here." They laughed at that.
I guess this visit to this world was interesting in more ways than one!
