Chapter 10
Third Person POV
Hikan was standing in the middle of a field, he had the shortsword that IF bought for him in his one hand, and the one that Saito made in the other, his hands were covered in blood and he was surrounded by fire, he looked around and heard the cries of Neptune, IF, and Compa, the screams were blowing out his eardrums, everywhere he turned he saw fire, he needed to save them, but no matter where he looked he saw fire, he couldn't leave the area, the screams were getting louder,
"HIKAN!"
"HELP IT HURTS!
"HIKAN! SAVE US!" hearing the voice of his friends scream was painful, he couldn't do nothing, he couldn't even speak, all he could do was look around, then the screams stopped, then three images appeared in front of him, the spirits of his three friends,
"Why didn't you save us." IF said,
"We needed you, and you left us to die." Neptune said
"We would risk our lives for yours, why wouldn't you do the same." Compa said, Hikan tried to speak, but couldn't, all he could do was stare, then the spirits disappeared, and a new spirit appeared in front of him, only it looked exactly like him, the other "Hikan" had the glowing red eyes, and the red aura around him,
"Now, it's your turn..." the other Hikan said, the sword that Hikan was holding was now in his hand and he held it over his head, "Goodbye."
"Hikan! Wake up!" Neptune yelled as she elbowed Hikan's stomach, causing him to wake up,
"OW! Neptune what was that for?!" He yelled, Neptune wiggled her finger in front of him,
"You wouldn't wake up so I had to force you to get up." Neptune said, Hikan sighed as he got off the ground,
"It's about time you woke up." IF said, she already had her things packed and ready to continue on,
"We let you sleep in, you seemed really worn out." Compa said with a smile,
"Well, I ain't gonna lie, I was pretty tired." Hikan said, he was worried about that dream he had, what did it mean? Was something going to happen in the future that he couldn't prevent?
"Well, us main characters get tired easily you know!" Neptune said, even though she had more time to sleep than Hikan did.
"Nep... if anything you sleep too much." IF said in a honest tone.
"She's right Nep-Nep, you've been sleeping more than Hikan." Compa agreed
"What?! No way, you're both teaming up on me! Hikan you're on my side right?!" Neptune said looking at Hikan, which caused him to start laughing,
"Neptune, every time I see you, you're either sleeping or doing something else that's lazy." Hikan said, Neptune started to fake some tears
"Nepu... You're all so mean..." Hikan walked up and patted her head,
"Don't worry Neptune, once we get your memory back, You can rest for as long as you want." Hikan said, IF turned her head and blushed, seeing those two act like that made her feel weird, was it because she still didn't trust Hikan, or was it something different?
Compa stood beside her and smiled, "Are you getting jealous Iffy?" she said, IF turned and looked at her
"No! Why would I be in love with Hikan?!" IF said with a flustered face, Compa just smiled more,
"Who said anything about you being in love?" Compa said, IF hung her head down, trying to hide the embarrassed look, then they started walking again.
After about an hour Hikan yelled "Hey look!" everyone looked to where he was pointing, what they saw was The Land of Black Regality, Lastation.
The group were now walking through the streets of Lastation, the whole nation looked like to be mostly industrial, either there were factories or more factories, everywhere you looked there were factories, Hikan was walking with his hood up, He didn't want to make people know that he was the person that beat their own nation's CPU, if that hasn't gone out already,
"Man, I'm bored!" Neptune said throwing her arms behind her head, Hikan looked at her with a "are you kidding me" expression,
"Neptune, we just got here, at least take some time to look at what Lastation has to offer." Hikan said, Neptune looked around and sighed
"All I see are factories, nothing important or fun." she said, she wasn't wrong, why was Lastation so industrial? Everywhere you looked there were at least two factories. They past two women on the streets, and Hikan heard something that caught his attention,
"Did you hear? There's been rumors that Lady Black Heart got beaten by some punk." one of the women,
"That's why I don't support her anymore, She's been losing shares everyday, even though she's working her butt off, she got beaten by some brat." the other woman replied, Hikan stopped in his tracks and looked at the two women,
"What? What's been going on?" he questioned, the women looked at him with suspicion, but answered anyway,
"Lastation's CPU got her butt whupped to some punk, is she really a CPU?" the women responded, again with the CPU's, what were they?
"I apologize, but I don't follow, what's a CPU?" Hikan asked, everyone but Neptune looked at him with shocked eyes,
"What?! you don't know what a CPU is?! Have you been living under a rock?!" one of the women said, I guess he had once in his lifetime,
"Hikan, a CPU is a sort of Goddess that rules over one nation, all of the nations have one." IF said, so in other words, Hikan beat a Goddess, that's not something you hear everyday,
"Okay, but what's happening? it seems like you two don't like her that much." Hikan said,
"There's a group that has been made known to the public, and their goal is to overthrow the CPU or something." the woman said,
"What is the group's name?" IF asked,
"I think it was 'The Saviors'?" the woman said, and then Hikan's head started hurting again, he put one hand on his forehead, he was waiting for an image to pop up, but nothing happened,
"Hikan, you okay?" IF asked in a concerned tone, she didn't want him running around in Lastation as a crazy maniac,
"Yeah, just a little headache is all, we appreciate the time ladies." Hikan said, waving the two women goodbye and walking away, did he have something to do with these so called Saviors?
About thirty minutes of walking around, they found a hotel that they can book in, they'll probably be staying here for a while, so they needed a place to stay, and somewhere to think of a plan, they had a whole nation to search for a tiny stone, so they better start thinking of something, Neptune and Compa had fallen asleep after such a long journey, IF was thinking of a plan of action, and Hikan was sitting down, going through his thoughts, Why did he not know what the CPU's are? Even if he did lose his memory, you think Saito would say something about it...
"Someone call me?" Saito said, speak of the devil...
"Do you know what CPU's are?" Hikan asked, Saito started laughing,
"Boy, I have kept you in secret haven't I?" He replied, Hikan wasn't laughing though,
"Do you know what they are, are they important?" Hikan said, Saito just sighed,
"Looks like I need to explain again, listen up, cause I'm not repeating. The CPU's are Gamindustri's goddesses, their main objective is to keep their nations safe from harm, seeing how Mrs. Black Heart was fighting us, she probably thought we were one of those guys that's trying to over throw her, anyway, each nation has it's own goddess, I don't know which ones which, but Black Heart is Lastation, and there are four nations, so there are three other Goddesses, I'd say we find them, and collect those shard things at the same time." Saito said after taking a long breath, so there are more goddesses? wait... Black Heart... and...
"Hey Neptune wake up." Hikan said shaking her a bit, She wouldn't budge "C'mon Nep, I need to ask you something."
"Zzz... Hikan... what do you want..." Neptune said in her sleep, Hikan didn't know if she was still asleep or not,
"C'mon, lets take a walk, just the two of us." Hikan said, Neptune got up and rubbed her eyes,
"I don't think Lastation is a good enough place for a date you know..." Neptune said, Hikan just sighed,
"I need to ask you something, C'mon." Hikan said, Neptune just yawned and got up, Hikan walked over to IF, who was staring off into space "IF, I might have found something, I'm taking Neptune with me for a bit, Call if anything happens." IF snapped back to reality and gave Hikan a suspicious look,
"You're not planning anything are you?" She said, Hikan gave her a serious look
"If you don't trust me, then I understand, but I'm just trying to help Neptune get her memory back, I'll be out of your hair after I'm done." Hikan said, He didn't want to cause anymore trouble for anyone,
"No. I trust you, It's just..." IF started to blush, Hikan stood in front of her confused, What was she trying to say?
"IF?" Hikan said, she looked up at him and blushed some more,
"It's nothing, just be careful!" she said before running off into a different room, What was her problem?
Neptune walked up behind Hikan and climbed on his back, "C'mon Hikan! Let's go!" she said after wrapping her arms around Hikan's neck,
"Geez, you're spoiled you know that?" Hikan said with a laugh and they walked out of the house...
Hikan's POV
Me and Neptune were walking through the streets of Lastation, she was on my back and kept refusing to get off, she barely weighed anything, so I could carry her almost forever, but I wish she'd stop squeezing me, still I need to ask her that thing, but I can't say it in public, we need to be alone.
"Hikan, where are we going? You've been walking for a while now." Neptune asked, I turned and looked at her,
"We're going to a place where no one will find us." I replied, her face turned into a surprised look and she blushed, making her face look like a tomato, she didn't say anything, she just nodded, as I continued to walk
About thirty minutes later, I finally found a place where we were alone, it was a abandoned factory, I doubt anyone will find us in here, we walked in and I set Neptune down and took a seat next to her, I need to ask this now,
"Hey Neptune." I said, she didn't say anything, she just stared at the ground, she turned her face away from me so I couldn't see, "Hey." I grabbed her shoulder, what happened next I wasn't expecting, She stood up and stepped in front of me, then transformed into her Purple Heart form, What was worse is that she had Compa's outfit on, except she wasn't wearing the skirt or any of the lower parts, only the sweater, it was barely covering up her... you know what it is.
"Hikan..." she had a seductive look on her face, she walked up to me and pushed me down and sat on top of me, What is going on?!
"..." I couldn't say anything, I was too shocked by what was going on, she leaned down on me and her breasts starting squishing against my chest, our lips were only inches apart, the soccer pants I had on barely did anything to hide my... erection.
"Oh! this is getting steamy!" Saito said, but I still couldn't speak, I just kept my eyes on Neptune, and she kept her eyes on mine, then my body started to move on it's own, only it wasn't me or Saito doing it... I hope, I wrapped my arms around her waist, then started to move in on her lips, but...
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING!?" A voice yelled, then IF ran in and stood there watching us, she was blushing like crazy, she looked like she was about to smash something which I think it was going to be me,
"Iffy, can you come back another time." Neptune said, how could she remain so calm about this?!
"Like hell I am! You two can't be left alone for a second!" IF yelled, all I wanted to do was ask Neptune something, but then this happens,
"Can I say something-" before I could finish my sentence IF cut me off
"Shut up! You get no right to speak!" IF said, great, she doesn't like me already, now she thinks I'm an ultra perv or something.
"Hikan said that he wanted to take me to a place where no-one could find us, and you ended up following us." Neptune said, she started to blush a little bit, but still remained calm,
"I was worried that something might of happened to you, so I followed you and found this!" IF yelled back and pointed to me, somehow I don't think that's true,
"Man, it was getting good too..." Saito said with the signs of disappointment in his voice,
"You two are coming back to the Hotel with me right now! I'm not letting you out of my sight!" IF yelled again, Neptune sighed before transforming back,
"Man, Iffy why do you have to be a party pooper..." Neptune said disappointed, IF gave her an angry look,
"Nep, Don't make me get the eggplants..." she warned, oh god that's not good, Neptune then shivered a whole bunch, and then got on her knees,
"I'm sorry!" Neptune quickly said, then IF looked at me, wait why do I get a punishment?!
"Now... you Hikan." IF said, I swear I saw a fire form in her eyes, someone save me!
We were now walking back to the hotel, Neptune and I were following close behind IF and was shivering constantly, now I know why Neptune hates eggplants... remind me never to make IF mad again... She had banned me and Neptune from hanging out alone together , We quickly went up to our room, Compa was awake and was waiting for us to come back,
"Welcome home everyone!" she greeted with her same smile, I tried to smile back, but it was hard too,
"Hey Compa..." I said, She tilted her head and looked at me with a concerned look,
"Hikan, you okay? You look like you seen a demon." Compa said, I kinda did... but I can't say who it was,
"Yeah, just a little tired is all." I said with a smile, Compa's smiled returned on her face and IF walked up next to us,
"I think I found where we can find the fragment." IF said, I gotta admit, that was quick,
"Where is this place?" I asked,
"There's two options, one you're not gonna like though." IF said, It can't be that bad can it?
"I still want to hear it." I said, IF sighed
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. Option one is we can go to the guild and ask around there, or even do quests and see if we can find it laying around like in Planeptune, Option two is we go and try to talk with Lady Black Heart, that option is a last resort, just in case we couldn't find anything at the guild." IF said after taking a deep breath,
"That second option is out of the question, there's no way we'll be able to speak to her, especially after what I did..." I said, we can only hope that it doesn't come to that,
"It won't hurt to try, we can probably reason with her about the whole problem that's going on." IF replied, we can try that, but I don't think it's gonna end well.
"Fine, we'll try it if it comes down to it, but for now, let's go to the guild." I said, I looked over my shoulder and saw Neptune asleep on the couch, It's a lost cause trying to wake her up, besides I still need to ask her that question, "I'll head out first." I said, IF just nodded and Compa just looked at me with a confused look,
"Compa, you stay here and look after Nep, If she wakes up, tell her that me and Hikan went out for a bit." IF said, Compa nodded
"Okay!" she replied, I turned towards the door, opened it, and walked out of the room,
The fragment was the main priority, but I want to help Black Heart with her problem, I just don't feel right leaving her to something like that, and besides she might be able to help with Neptune's memory, or even mine, I guess I'm going to talk to Black Heart anyway...
A/N: there we go! There's your little fanservice scene with Nep and Hikan, but I'm sure you guys know what Hikan wants to ask Nep, but in case some people don't know, don't say anything! Now I know that this is probably gonna be my longest chapter in my whole story, but who knows! anyway, that's all I wanted to say, Thanks for reading and I hope to see you all later!
P.S. Yes I deleted Chapter 10 because I forgot to edit... XD
