KKD: And here we are, the first chapter of SEGA I'm in charge of, not to mention the first of which I have to take care of while Silver's out. Of course, I'm not doing this alone. With me, again, is my fellow TTS West aibou, Pikatwig.
Pikatwig: Hold up one moment. *unwraps the Lockseed that was in the bag with the kanji for 'secret' on it. It turns out to be the Silver Apple Lockseed.* Yosh…
=SILVER!=
=LOCK ON!=
=COME ON!=
=SILVER ARMS! HAKUGIN, NEW STAGE!=
Pikatwig: Tada!
KKD: Whoa! That's cool. I was wondering why you were keeping that from the others. Mind telling me why you held out on us?
Pikatwig: Wanted to make a surprise. I'm a 'substitute Silvah' in a sense. SIlly joke that came to me-
KKD: Let me guess, in your dreams?
Pikatwig: Hai. How'd you know?
KKD: ...Lucky guess.
Pikatwig: Don't worry, it's just meant as a joke…
KKD: Uh… okay… anyway, enough with the jokes. I think it's time we get started with the chapter; I'm VERY excited for it.
Pikatwig: Okay. *walks over to a pile of papers.* Dang summer homework… *digs through papers.* I know it's in here somewhere…
KKD: I thought you'd be done with those assignments by now.
Pikatwig: Parents let me have time off… working hard to try and finish it. *a paper marked 'Overlord Sketches' hits KKD*
KKD: What the?! *Moves it to see notes for a Gaim Overlord design and another Overlord* What the hey? ...Kota… and Mai? As…
Momo: SPOILERS!
Pikatwig: ...found it! *hands disclaimers to KKD and takes back the note paper.*
KKD: Oh… thanks.

"Annoying Gaming Riders… now there are Riders for COMPUTERS?!" Esag shouted annoyed, pacing around a cave of sorts with various machinery attached to a wall, "I have to find a way to eliminate them before my power is threatened by yet another AI member…"
He began to ponder what to do, then he got an idea.
"Of course. I just do what I always do. Make a powerful CPU to take down those Riders with ease," he smirked, his hand glowing with purple Anti-Data.
As he moved his hand towards a nearby wall, a bit of shadow moved from one of the crevices, forming the shadow that would end up becoming a CPU, shaped like some sort of jester with no clear gender.
"Now then… while your sort of sibling failed… I want you to attack someone close to SEGA, lure him out, and then DESTROY HIM!" Esag ordered his newest creation with an evil smirk.
However, the CPU looked… off about that order. And it began to ponder before giving it's answer in a voice that would also make people confused of its gender.
"...No. Why should I attack someone innocent?" the CPU answered.
"Are you questioning my orders?! I am your master!" Esag growled, obviously annoyed by the formless CPU's response, "And as your master, you will do as I say!"
"I already said I won't do it. I'm just gonna go," the CPU ordered before flying out of the cave, away from Esag.
"GET BACK HERE AND OBEY ME!" Esag roared, but it was too late as the CPU had already gone out of earshot.
It had begun to take shape a bit, but remained hidden amongst the clouds, simply enjoying freedom. It even began to laugh in joy as it flew with the birds, akin to a certain Pokemon enjoying its freedom.
"This is so much fun…" the CPU smiled as it continued to fly before looking down and seeing Tomodachi Academy, "Hey… that's where SEGA and his buddies live."
*As the instrumental goes on, the light shines on a young teen, Takeshi Narumi, as the camera pans to show half his face before he smiles at the camera, as the scene shifts to show him transformed as SEGA in that position, before showing Kamen Riders Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox one by one, before the opening caption appears*
Neodimension: Kamen Rider SEGA
Imi fumei moji noraretsu (An incomprehensible code sequence)
*This moment showed Takeshi and Neptune as well as Kai playing some video game and smiling, with Takeshi's SEGADriver in the background.*
Oshiete KONPAIRA (Tell me what what it means, Compiler!)
*Luna and Noire are then seen looking over their work and reacting to something as we then see images of the multiple weapons that could be used.*
matomaranai BAINARI- TSURI- (I can't make sense of this binary tree)
*Blanc and Eiji are then seen working before a CPU Kaijin is seen, and Eiji charges at it.*
0 to 1 dake ja nanimo tsutaerannai yo ne… (Just 0s and 1s won't help you communicate)
*During this, Saki and Vert are seen relaxing, smiling at the camera, before being pushed to the side by Peashy and her two riders, Darren and Natsuki, as Peashy and Natsuki smile while Darren looks at the two annoyed.*
Pingurinku! tsunagaru KIMI to ATASHI-tashi ga (How nice it'd be if our hearts could connect.)
*At this moment, we see a few of Takeshi's friends from Tomodachi Academy, including Hana and Kasumi, before shifting to show the CPU Kaijin of the chapter, as well as the Seven Sages on their thrones, before zooming in on Arfoire who glares menacingly*
Hitto chekku! KIMERU nara ima (And we were on the same page.)
*We turn our attention to Histoire, other allies and more before the four Gaming Riders, Takeshi, Luna, Eiji, and Saki appear before the screen with their belt ready, and transformed with the call of henshin.*
Hapi furu pyua You're a dimenshon torippa-! (Eveything's pure. You're a Dimension tripper)
*Next, the henshin processes of Neptune-tachi and the Gaming Riders are seen.*
Jigen no tobira, kettobashi oide yo (Kick open the dimensional gates and get over here!)
*Transformations complete, we see the heroic CPUs and Gaming Riders battle it out with the corrupted CPUs and other monsters.*
KIRA KIRA no kocchi no sekai he (In this sparkling world)
*We then see the aforementioned heroes and heroines execute their finishers.*
Kizuna hyakubai no saikyou PA-TI- "KIMI MO NAKAMA DA" (We can just form the strongest party. And you'll be one of us!)
*The nine return to normal before being joined by Darren and Natsuki and looking up to the skies of Earth, that quickly changes to that of Gamindustri, and smiled/smirked ready for the adventures ahead. The scene then shifts to the title screen*
Level 11: Hero CPU!?
"He did what now?!" Takeshi gawked, with Kai having told him about the most recent Gaim episode, unaware to any of them at the time, they were being watched…
"You heard me," Kai started, going into detail about what he heard, while Hana, Kasumi and Neptune all had earmuffs to block out what Kai was talking about.
'Jeez… when they start talking about Kamen Rider, it's okay, but I can only take so much,' Hana thought to herself.
"These two are getting really annoying…" Neptune sighed.
"What?" Kasumi asked.
Hana just ignored this and decided to head out so she could get some quiet.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by idiots," she sighed, as she began to twirl her hair in thought, walking along.
Little did she know, she was actually being followed by the near formless CPU.
"Hmm…" Hana pondered, looking at a sketchbook later that day in hers, Kasumi's and Neptune's dorm. "What should I draw…?"
"Are you STILL wondering what to draw for that art assignment?" Neptune inquired.
"...Yes. I've been thinking for days, and I still can't think of something. It doesn't help that I only have a few days from today to turn this in…" Hana sighed annoyed. "What did you two draw?"
"I drew this planet here," Neptune informed, showing a sphere in space showing four significant landscapes, one being a somewhat medieval area but with added vibes, another looked like a steampunk-styled city, the third was a more modern Japanese area with the historic structures and a frozen mountain landscape, and finally a futuristic city in the last zone.
"Looks nice," Hana noted, "What about you Kassie?"
"Well… you know about the movie Sugar Rush, well… there was this really cute book that Kota brought over, and I based my drawing on it," Kasumi informed, showing herself dressed as Vanellope and Kota dressed as Rancis, both from the movie Wreck-It Ralph (called Sugar Rush in Japan).
"Nice," Hana smiled. She let out a small sigh, trying to think.
"Well… I'm gonna head off to hang out with Kota for a bit, I hope you two can figure it out," Kasumi smiled, as she headed out.
"...truth be told, I was going to use this sketch," Hana admitted, flipping a page open, and showing a design of a Kamen Rider SEGA DC Lockseed.
"Well… isn't that cool looking," Neptune noted.
"...yea. I'm thinking about keeping it and working on it in my free time," Hana shrugged.
"Hey, chin up, Hana. I'm sure you'll find something for the project. Inspiration is everywhere… you just need to know where to look," Neptune told Hana.
That night, Hana was looking around with her sketchbook, trying to find an idea to draw. She's had a few ideas written there including a soccer game, a bird in a tree, and just normal town hustle and bustle.
"...Man… none of these seem to inspire me at all," Hana sighed, sitting down to try and think.
She began to think about what else she wanted to draw, even just randomly doodling. And at that moment, she glanced up and saw the shadow of some jester, confusing her as she looked around to find the source of the shadow, she felt fairly nervous, before she gave a smile.
"Uh… hi," Hana waved.
"Oh… hi. You can see me?" the shadow… spoke?
"Yea. I've been the host of another CPU like you before. In fact… just looking at your… shadow form… you look very similar," Hana noted.
"You know what I am? ...don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you," the CPU informed.
"Well I… wait… y-you're not? Don't you want to destroy the Gaming Riders?" Hana inquired.
"No. Unlike Reala, I just want to have fun; get out and enjoy the world as much as I can," the CPU informed.
"You're… really nice," Hana smiled. "Would you like to be friends?"
"...friends? What does… that mean?" the CPU inquired.
"Well… how do I explain this? ...Friends are people who hang out and do stuff together, yuai and tomodachi both have connections with friends," Hana started.
"I've… never heard this term before… closest being a CPU is ally or aibou…" the CPU admitted sadly.
"Oh… I see…" Hana sighed. "Well… do you want to be friends with me?"
"...Yes. I'd love to be friends," the CPU smiled.
"Great. Name's Hana. What's yours?" Hana asked.
"Uh… I dunno. I ran off from Esag before he told me…"
"Well… you mentioned Reala… and your jester shape looks similar to his… why don't I call you NiGHTS?" Hana responded, showing the CPU the cover of a SEGA game: NiGHTS into Dreams.
"Yea… I like that. But uh… Hana… there is a small problem…" the CPU, now the NiGHTS CPU told Hana.
"What's that?" Hana asked.
"...I can't interact with you much, seeing as I'm… well… just a shadow now, and I don't have a body," the NiGHTS CPU answered, looking teary-eyed.
"Oh…" Hana nodded, taking a minute to think, "...Is there any way you can get a body?"
"Well… to be honest… I don't know. I ran away before I could even figure this stuff out… I don't want to fight…"
"...The only way I could tell how a CPU of your type could get a body is to take a host… but… last time I had some CPU take me as a host… he forced me to do… well… some things I'm not proud of," Hana sighed.
"Fight the Gaming Riders, I'm guessing. Why… are you friends with them?"
"...Well… most of them I'm friends with… except one: SEGA. He's my brother."
"Esag made you fight your brother?!" the NiGHTS CPU gasped.
"...Unfortunately…" Hana sighed, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"...If it'll help… I promise I won't make you fight, because I don't wanna fight unless there's no other option," NiGHTS vowed.
"...You mean it?"
"...We're friends, aren't we?"
"Thank you," Hana smiled. "And I promise to help you get a physical form. Just… kinda hoping my brother or any of the other Gaming Riders haven't gotten an alert to you."
"Oh, about that. As long as a CPU like me hasn't taken a host, then we're invisible to the Gaming Riders' CPU radar," NiGHTS answered.
"Wait… how do you know that?" Hana asked.
"Dunno… the thought was just put into my head."
Hana couldn't help but giggle a little bit, and the CPU laughed with her. "...you're really nice, you know?"
"What's nice mean?"
"Oh boy, we'll be here longer than I thought," Hana sighed.
"So Kassie, how was your date with Kota?" Neptune asked Kasumi.
"It was great," Kasumi smiled, "We danced, and I felt pretty light on my feet."
"That's nice."
"By the way, where's Takeshi?" Kasumi asked.
"Oh, he's busy training with Sora," Neptune answered.
"Okay," Kasumi nodded, as they walked on by Hana having a snack, sitting near a wall, simply looking rather happy. "Oh, hey Hana!"
"Oh, hi Kassie-chan," Hana waved.
"So, how's the art thing going?" Neptune inquired.
"Still got nothing…" Hana sighed, "But I'm still looking. Who knows, maybe I can have a friend help me with it."
Hana gave a wink to the air, making both Neptune and Kasumi confused, but they both shrugged it off and headed away.
"...What's this art thing you've got to do?" NiGHTS asked.
"I've got to make a drawing of something… anything, as long as it's school appropriate," Hana informed.
"Oh… that sounds like fun," NiGHTS smiled.
"It is," Hana smiled.
"Is there anyway I can help?" NiGHTS asked.
"Hmm… well, I honestly don't know what to draw…" Hana admitted.
"Really?"
"Yea…" Hana sighed. "And I'm almost out of time to do it…"
NiGHTS floated by Hana and began to think a bit, and then, an idea came to the CPU's mind.
"How about the night sky?"
"It could work… I've always liked Tokyo Tower at night… but I need something to draw attention to…"
"Is she… talking to herself?" Takeshi wondered, watching his sister from behind a pillar, along with Kai and Neptune.
"Not sure," Neptune shrugged, "Has she had any imaginary friends?"
"...Hmm… couple. She's rather imaginative, heh, here's something I drew in my spare time," Takeshi informed, as he pulled out a sketchbook to show a drawing of Hana turning into a violet ToQger, "ToQ7."
"Neat," Kai smiled, "If only they actually brought in such a senshi in ToQger; it could complete the rainbow."
"Getting back on topic with Hana… I think she's worried about her art project, and is using her imagination to try and get advice," Neptune figured.
"That would seem logical. Talking to herself sometimes helps her with her creative process," Takeshi admitted.
"So… we shouldn't bother her, is what I'm hearing," Kai checked.
"Pretty much. Just let her talk things out, and she'll be fine," Takeshi told the two.
Back with Esag, he was growling in annoyance, pacing in his cave with Dentonin, currently cloaked up, sitting nearby.
"So… the CPU ran away? Is that correct?" Dentonin asked.
"Yes. Can you believe it?! Never in my existence have I ever brought forth a CPU, only for the stupid thing to flat out disobey me within the first minute of it's existence, and then run off!" Esag roared.
"This is truly a first for us AIs… never has there been a CPU who rebelled…" Dentonin chuckled.
"Clearly. Grrr! If this gets out, I'm gonna be made a fool…" Esag growled, kicking a chair into the wall, causing it to shatter.
"Why don't you create another CPU to convince the one who ran away to come back. And if it refuses, you could dispose of it. It's Anti-Data will be used to help us one way or another… and Arfoire-sama, of course," Dentonin suggested.
"...not a bad plan. Only thing is… I'm running out of characters from the NiGHTS games, and I can't bust out a Sonic themed CPU, the last one almost tore my data apart…"
"You mean the Havok CPU?"
"Exactly, why else do you think he had time jumping and dimension jumping powers?"
"Then maybe you could use a character from another franchise."
"Okay smart-gerudo! You think you got all the ideas, why don't you create a CPU youself?!"
"Maybe I will," Dentonin smirked, causing his fist to glow white as a figure began to be formed from the very stone in the wall as it emerged before it turned into a black kaijin with red spiked hair, blood red eyes, a dark blue gi with the sleeves torn off, and a red kanji-like symbol on the back, "Your orders are to find the NiGHTS CPU, and convince it to fight for us. And if all your attempts fail… eradicate it and collect it's remaining Anti-data."
"I hear and I obey my master," the CPU bowed.
"So how's it going, sis?" Takeshi asked Hana later that day.
"Good," Hana smiled.
"So, how's your old creative process going?"
"...Oh, the old me talking to my friends thing? It's helping a bit, but… while I have a concept, I need something to tie it all up," Hana sighed.
"Don't worry, I can help you Hana… hey, I've heard people use the term 'chan'..." NiGHTS smiled, "Mind if I call you Hana-chan?"
"Sure, you can call me that; I don't mind you calling me Hana-chan," Hana smiled.
'...this reminds me of when we were kids,' Takeshi thought with a smile. "Hana… while we may have had our arguments, and grew apart a bit… don't ever change. You're a great sister, and I don't want you to forget it."
"Thanks," Hana smiled.
"This is… your Nii-san?"
"Yea, this is my nii-san," Hana nodded.
=ALERT! CORRUPTING PROCESSOR UNIT DETECTED! AWAITING CONFRONTATION!=
"Ugh… now?!" Takeshi groaned, as Hana and NiGHTS suddenly looked worried, as Takeshi saw Neptune head in.
"We've got a powerful CPU on the way, suit up Takeshi," Neptune informed.
"Roger that, Boss," Takeshi nodded, grabbing his SegaDriver before he and Neptune ran off, allowing NiGHTS and Hana a sigh of relief when they were gone.
"That was too close. For a second, I thought they detected you," Hana sighed.
"I know… I promised I wouldn't make you fight your brother but… if a Gaming Rider came after me… would you protect me?" NiGHTS asked.
"...Well… uh…" Hana tried to start, but she wasn't sure, "...Let's go out for a bit. I need to get some air."
With that, NiGHTS nodded as they walked out of the building to talk a bit. However, before they could get far from the dorm, Hana was attacked by the second CPU sent by Dentonin.
"HANA-CHAN!" NiGHTS gasped.
"You must be the CPU who rebelled," the CPU replied, looking right at where NiGHTS was, when suddenly…
=MAC PUNCH! READY TO SMASH!=
"Back away from the civilian, kono CPU-yaro!" Kamen Rider Nintendo's voice shouted, getting the attention of the CPUs and Hana as they saw the Rider currently wielding a pair of green boxing gloves. He then tried to dust himself off, but ended up giving himself a punch.
"Pfft! Pathetic," the CPU growled, turning back to NiGHTS, "NiGHTS CPU, you have two choices! Help me destroy the Gaming Riders, or face the death sentence to be recycled back into Anti-Data!"
"Uh oh…" NiGHTS gulped as Nintendo recovered from him punching himself before looking where Hana was, pulling off the Gamepad from his wrist, pressing a button, and hovering it over near Hana, showing a CPU that looked sort of like the Relea CPU, with the same sort of jester-like hat with violet eyes that had cat-like pupils, a purple outfit accented with magenta, white (which was the color of the sleeves), yellow, and a red jewel in the chest.
"So there's another CPU here? Ah… and it's Esag's, no wonder it didn't appear on radar," Nintendo noted, about set to smack the NiGHTS CPU with a Rider Punch, when...
=GAME START!=
SEGA leaped onto the battle scene, wielding his NiGHTS Rifle before firing rapid-fire bullets at the CPU that was staring Hana down, with NiGHTS gawking at the weapon.
"Wow! He has a weapon that's themed to me," NiGHTS gawked in amazement, even admiring the weapon for a moment.
"Hana! Get out of here! Me and Eiji can deal with it," SEGA shouted.
"She can't leave Narumi, there's a CPU trailing her!" Nintendo informed, making SEGA do a double take.
"I don't see it," SEGA replied, looking over by Hana and clearly not seeing NiGHTS.
"That's because it's one of Esag's; it's yet to have found a host!" Nintendo told SEGA, bonking him on the head. "That was not intended."
"Hana… is this true?" SEGA asked, a bit confused by all this, as Hana suddenly looked nervous, and distressed.
"Uh… well, um… you see, I… uh…" she stuttered.
Before Hana could even continue, the other CPU ran over to her, and put her in a chokehold.
"HANA!"
"NiGHTS! You better surrender, or your pretty little friend here will be killed by my hands. I won't repeat myself," the CPU informed NiGHTS, as Hana struggled to breath.
"Do… what you… want to me… but… leave NiGHTS alone…" Hana struggled to speak.
"Hana!" SEGA shouted.
"NiGHTS… understands something you… CPU Kaijin-tachi… don't…"
"What would that be you little punk?!"
"NiGHTS… u-under… stands… fr-ri...end-s-ship…" Hana struggled to say, with NiGHTS trying to save her, but simply floating through the CPU.
"Hana! Oi, Eiji, back me up here!" SEGA shouted, turning down the dial on the NiGHTS Rifle.
"What about Esag's CPU?" Nintendo asked, readying his Mac Punch gloves.
"He's on our side… I can just feel it!" SEGA responded, firing a cannonfire shot at the CPU's face, "Assuming that NiGHTS is a boy…"
"I think NiGHTS is a girl…" Nintendo commented.
"HELLO! NEED SOME HELP AGAINST AKUMA HERE!" Hana managed to shout, still struggling against the now named Akuma CPU's grip.
Thus, SEGA fired the shot high into the air, with Nintendo jumping up (using SEGA as a launchpad), once high into the air, Nintendo punched the shot and sent it flying, making the Akuma CPU lose it's grip on Hana.
"ARGH!" the CPU roared in pain as Hana managed to run, but not away from the fight, instead running in front of where NiGHTS technically was. When the Akuma CPU recovered, it glared at Hana and NiGHTS.
"Don't worry… I won't let you get hurt…" Hana smiled.
"Hana-chan…" NiGHTS gawked, tears starting to form.
"You're my friend… and I don't let my friends get hurt that easily," Hana informed, making NiGHTS smile.
"Grrr! Hiding behind a girl? The same one who was the host of that pathetic Reala sibling of yours who failed?" the Akuma CPU responded, "One last chance NiGHTS! Join us, or suffer the same fate as that sibling!"
"...Hana-chan? ...You're such a good friend… I don't want you hurt either. …I'm sorry for asking this, but… will you… be my host?" NiGHTS whispered to Hana, soft enough so Akuma couldn't hear them.
"You mean it?" Hana asked, getting a nod from NiGHTS. "...let's do it."
"Well Akuma. You want my answer? Here it is," NiGHTS told Akuma before the shadow form finally merged with Hana, causing her to glow white and violet.
"Digital Henkei!" Hana shouted, as her body glowed, slowly transforming into NiGHTS' form that Eiji saw. However, the differences being the body was a full on female look, her hair was visible from the jester hat, she was sleeveless instead, having white, purple, and yellow gloves, and a sort of gold tiara on her head which had the same red crystal as on the chest.
"Suge…" SEGA gawked.
"NANI?!" the Akuma CPU gawked.
"Did… did it work Hana-chan?" NiGHTS' voice asked.
"I… I think it did, NiGHTS," Hana replied in both her own voice and NiGHTS' at the same time, opening her violet eyes, as she admired her new form, "Wow! This is much better than the time with the Reala CPU."
"...uh… is that really your sister?" Nintendo asked in confusion.
"...I… I guess…" SEGA gawked just as Neptune, Saki and Luna arrived.
"Hey Takeshi, sorry we're la-...what in the name of me…?!" she responded, gawking when she saw Hana in her new form, "...A CPU of Esag's?! But… something's… off…"
"Wow… so Hana's a Kamen Rider now?" Luna asked.
"She looks kinda like Sailor Moon mixed with NiGHTS," Saki added.
"Neptune-san… there's a new warrior in this fight," the new hero informed, "Atashi wa Sailor NiGHTS, and I fight in the name of the Gaming Riders!"
"Guess she heard you Saki," SEGA shrugged.
"Guess so," Saki shrugged as the newly dubbed Sailor NiGHTS taking off into the sky, and doing some ballet like attacks mixed with a few kung fu moves, leaving a golden trail of some kind of magic dust behind her, attacking the Akuma CPU before one spin around the CPU (connecting dust lines) caused an explosive boom to hit the CPU.
"I can't just leave Hana out of this," SEGA grunted, getting to his feet when…
"Hold up, Takeshi! Use this!" Neptune shouted, pulling out a disc and tossing it to the Rider, who caught it and saw it was a copy of Virtua Fighter for the SEGA Saturn.
"Virtua Fighter?" he gawked.
"It'll activate a new form for you to take down these pesky fighting game CPUs," Neptune informed.
"Thinking ahead, Boss? I like it," SEGA nodded, setting the disc into his driver.
=DOWNLOADING VIRTUA FORM! INSERT CODE!=
With that, SEGA plugged in the code A-B-Up-Left-X-Right-X-Left-X-Y.
=DOWNLOAD COMPLETE!=
With that, SEGA's armor began to turn white with the blue migrating to the bodysuit as the armor became more sleek, his helmet turning white with red eyes. And with the transformation finished, SEGA entered a karate pose, ready to fight.
"Here I come, Nee-chan!" SEGA shouted, rushing in with a flurry of punches and kicks at the Akuma CPU, who tried to block them, but got pummeled easily, and it wasn't long before Sailor NiGHTS joined in, "Shall we end this off together?"
"Hai," Sailor NiGHTS nodded.
Thus, SEGA inputted the Hissatsu code into his controller as usual.
=FINAL LEVEL! ALL POWER MAXIMUM!=
"Hoooaaa..." SEGA began as his fist began to glow with blue and white data as Sailor NiGHTS' glowed yellow and white, before they charged forward and, in perfect unison as the Akuma CPU seemed to recover, they gave it a double punch in the stomach.
"WACHAA!" he shouted, before the CPU just stood there and finally blew up into Anti-Data.
"Game… Over!" SEGA and Sailor NiGHTS both said in perfect unison, as the CPU exploded, sending a B Rank medal into SEGA's hand.
"Better than nothing," he shrugged, as both Narumi siblings turned back to normal. But when Hana reverted to normal, she ended up with a small bracelet in yellow and white with NiGHTS' face on it.
"Hana! Are you okay?" Neptune asked, rushing over to Hana, unintentionally knocking Takeshi down. "How are you feeling? Do you know where you are? And… where did you get that?"
"Easy Neptune. I'm fine, trust me. I know where I am, outside the dorms. As for…" Hana started before looking at her new bracelet, "...This… I don't know."
"It's part of a gift from me. If you need the help, just use that call you used earlier, touch my face on that, and I'll come to help you," NiGHTS answered, now a ghost beside Hana… a somewhat more visible ghost as she was now visible to the heroes, but a ghost nonetheless.
"Sorry for sounding worried… it's just, the last time we had Anti-Data enter one of our Knights… it didn't end well…" Neptune told Hana. "I know you said you were fine and all, but… would you be okay if we went over to Blanc's to check… I just… don't want my Knight to fall down the same road as the other him."
"...Right," Hana nodded.
"Uh… speaking of your knight, mind warning him before shoving him into the ground!" Takeshi responded.
"Sorry…" Neptune apologized, as she grabbed Hana and dragged her off to the direction of Blanc's place.
"Well… how's she looking?" Neptune asked Blanc around an hour later.
"Hmm… well… I don't know how to put this… but after the last incident with Reala, Hana now has some sort of data-vaccine in her system, and it somehow converted the Anti-Data of the CPU who just possessed her into normal data that can help her," Blanc answered, rather surprised even after the numerous tests performed on Hana.
"And her bracelet?" Neptune asked.
"My guess is that it's to help her transform when it's time to team up with the CPU… kinda like how the Drivers for the Gaming Riders activate when it's time for our Riders to henshin."
"...interesting," Neptune nodded, as Hana walked over, simply looking like there wasn't anything wrong.
"So, can I have the Sailor Bracelet back now?" Hana asked.
Blanc nodded handing the bracelet back to Hana as NiGHTS flew around her.
"You're really a great friend Hana-chan. And… I'm sorry for dragging you into this…" NiGHTS apologized.
"It's okay, NiGHTS," Hana smiled back, "...I'm glad I can help Nii-san out,"
"Hana… how are things?" Takeshi asked, as he approached Blanc, Neptune and Hana.
"Just fine, Nii-san," Hana informed as NiGHTS approached him, "But I think it's time for proper intros now that you can see each other. NiGHTS, this is my brother Takeshi. Takeshi, this is NiGHTS."
"Hi… so you're the famous SEGA DC the Second?" NiGHTS noted, "Glad to meet you."
"Uh… nice to meet you," Takeshi smiled.
"Nii-san. You don't mind NiGHTS staying with us, do you?" Hana asked.
"...go ahead. I don't think I could stop you, even if I wanted to," Takeshi shrugged. "But you still have an assignment to finish you know. Being here wasted another day,"
"Oh shoot! You're right," Hana gawked.
"Might I make a suggestion?"
That night, Sailor NiGHTS flew through the night sky, Hana enjoying every second of it, as they flew throughout the city. It wasn't long before they reached Tokyo Tower and landed safely at the very top, looking out at the cityscape.
"So? What do you think?" NiGHTS asked.
"It's beautiful…" Sailor NiGHTS gawked. "I've always wanted to come here… but this is better than I ever dreamed."
"The least I can do for my first friend ever… and perhaps… my… best friend… as you'd call it?"
"Sure," Sailor NiGHTS nodded.
The fused friends smiled as they posed as if playing a flute, which, to Hana's surprise, they kinda did as NiGHTS played it like a pro.
On the day of the art project's due date, Hana looked at her finished picture, which was of Sailor NiGHTS standing on top of Tokyo Tower in front of the full moon and the starry sky.
"Hana… this art is beautiful…" her art teacher gawked with a smile.
"Thanks… I put a lot of heart into it," Hana smiled.
"Where'd you get the inspiration for such a masterpiece?" the teacher gawked, seeing how well the picture was drawn and colored in with colored pencils, hardly leaving a single white spot that wasn't supposed to be there.
"I've always dreamed of being on Tokyo Tower at night… as for the character… I was kinda going for a mix of Sailor Moon from the Sailor Moon series and the SEGA character NiGHTS," Hana explained.
"You did amazing Hana… if I may suggest, you take this drawing up to Dean Hidari to show him." the teacher suggested.
"Actually… I'd love to," she smiled as she looked outside, seeing NiGHTS winking at her (glad only those NiGHTS wishes to see her can and others can't), before taking the drawing and heading up to the Dean's Office.
"Narumi-san… this is the best piece of art I've ever seen… not even the Mona Lisa is as amazing as this…" Dean Hidari gawked.
"Thank you… but that's kinda an exaggeration…" Hana blushed.
"Modesty is an interesting color Hana," the dean smiled.
"Well I worked hard… but… I don't really want to show it off… I would prefer to keep it in a special spot of honor. My dorm," Hana informed.
"...if that's what you wish," Dean Hidari nodded, handing the drawing to Hana.
"Okay NiGHTS, a bit more to the left…" Hana said, having the picture framed and being set up in her dorm, "Now just a bit lower… and an inch to the right… perfect!"
"Hey, mind me asking what you meant by this having a special spot of honor here?" NiGHTS asked.
"Because… it's a symbol of our newfound friendship…" Hana smiled, making NiGHTS blush a tiny bit, as the two hugged happily, the scene ending with another look at the picture hung up.
Neptune: Well, that was a unique experience. So… Blanc? Would you mind joining me for this one?
Blanc: Sure.
Hana: What about me? Can I be here for this one?
Neptune: Well… you were involved with one of the CPUs we're talking about, so… sure I guess…
Hana: Thank you. Let's start this already.
Neptune: Nepstation start! *title screen appears before showing Sailor NiGHTS with Neptune, Blanc, Noire and Vert dressed as the other four core Sailor Senshi* 0-o ...What kind of image was that?!
Hana: To fit my semi-Sailor Moon theme.
Neptune: ...Ah whatever… anyways, today we have two CPUs to talk about today, the Akuma CPU and the NiGHTS CPU.
Blanc: Originally from Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Akuma is a dark character, and one of the antagonists of the Street Fighter series in general. His skills in fighting is unmatched by almost all, only being beaten by Ryu and Gouken, Ryu's master and Akuma's former friend.
Hana: Ouch, fighting a friend…
Blanc: Well… Akuma betrayed Gouken thanks to learning of this one energy known as the Satsui no Hado, literally translated as Surge of Murderous Intent. It typically manifests itself as a purple or violet fiery energy. Be thankful it didn't hit you.
Hana: Yea… thank goodness.
Blanc: If it had the chance, it could've killed you with it's mastery of the martial arts, not to mention the energy attacks powered by the Satsui no Hado.
Hana: Okay…. I am glad me and NiGHTS got out of that alive...
Neptune: Speaking of which, I think we should talk about your new friend.
Hana: Okay then. *smiles and looks to her bracelet.*
Neptune: Originally appearing in NiGHTS into Dreams for the Sega Saturn in 1996, NiGHTS might as well be one of those forgotten mascots for the console. Ironically, like the CPU, NiGHTS was originally one of the bad guys of the Night Dimension known as Nightmarens, creatures that turn dreams into nightmares.
Hana: That sounds like an interesting Rider concept…
Neptune: Right. Thanks to some kids in the games, NiGHTS has the power to merge with them in the dreams, and grant them some neat abilities including the ability to fly, creating a special dust that trails NiGHTS and can be used to defeat enemies when a ring of it is made, and with a few persona masks, he/she can transform into different animals or objects.
Hana: After NiGHTS into Dreams, there came a sequel on the Wii, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. NiGHTS was also featured in the Sega Superstar games, but was surprisingly not playable in Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, but returned for Sonic & All Stars Racing Trasnformed. Hey… why was NiGHTS in Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, Neptune?
Neptune: ...I don't remember… blame the devs, not me.
Hana: Just asking… and don't forget the unintentional cameo of a DiC character in the first All Stars Racing…
Blanc: Don't remind me… I could only get enough Share Energy to fix one version…
Hana: Anyway… NiGHTS also appeared in Sonic Lost World, but as a DLC Boss Rush level. I really loved that level… *giggles a bit*
Neptune: That's nice. ...Also, since you had the experience firsthand, care to explain to the viewers how NiGHTS is able to help you out?
Hana: Why certainly. NiGHTS? *NiGHTS appears in the room*
NiGHTS: Hi. What's up, Hana?
Hana: We're talking about the CPUs of the episode. Mind helping me explain how you help me in becoming Sailor NiGHTS?
NiGHTS: Sure thing. But shall we give a visual to aid in the explanation?
Hana: *giggles* Sure thing. Digital Henkei! *Press the face of NiGHTS on her bracelet, causing NiGHTS to merge with her, and to cause them to transform into Sailor NiGHTS.*
Sailor NiGHTS: Ta-da! Like this, I can fly, use my acrobatics for aerial combat and even on the ground, and use the same dust Neptune spoke of in the same way. Not sure about the other transformations, but that would be pretty cool.
Blanc: And then thanks to the Reala CPU, you're immune to Anti-Data, so you can pretty much attack the CPUs in this form, and… if my calculations are correct, you can't be harmed by other CPUs.
Sailor NiGHTS: Suge! This is amazing… plus… my figure's been improved thanks to this. *Poses* What do you two think...
Neptune: I'm… kinda jealous, to be honest. *blushes*
Blanc: ...wow… You look wonderful… *Vert walks in*
Vert: Wow… you look really amazing… how would you like to go on a date?
Sailor NiGHTS: Uh… a-ano… why do you ask? *nervous blush*
Vert: Simple… you look like a dream come true.
Neptune: Uh… Vert… that's Hana.
Vert: Wait… what?
Sailor NiGHTS: Yea… it's me.
Vert: But… h-how…?
Blanc: Long story…
Neptune: Uh… why don't we end this off before things get too awkward? Until next time, this is Neptune, Blanc, NiGHTS & Hana as Sailor NiGHTS, ...and Vert who popped in at the end, ending this.
Sailor NiGHTS: Thanks for viewing. *floats up close to the camera and gives it a wink.*
Jikai, Kamen Rider SEGA!
Dentonin: Go, and destroy the Gaming Riders!
?: ...why should I?
Eiji: Leave no CPU undestroyed!
?: I don't want to fight you!
Takeshi: Oi! This is just low, even for you, attacking a defenseless kid!
Kai: Wow! It's Megaman's new sibling!
?: Help me… please!
Sailor NiGHTS: We won't let you hurt this CPU any longer!
Level 12, The Friendly CPU
Game Start!
*MataBlue henshins onscreen before letting loose an inferno at the screen, before Kanohi masks showing the latest chapter of Mataranger appear.*
MataBlue: So there's someone from Eclipsia living in the real world?! And what happened to Mitsuko's brother?
*Mitsuko appears and twirls around before a magical flash on the screen shows the recap of the chapter of Guardians of Eclipsia.*
Mitsuko: There's a new hero helping the Gaming Riders, the one called Sailor NiGHTS!
*Kamen Rider SEGA begins his henshin, as we see data replace the screen to show scenes from the current Kamen Rider SEGA episode*
SEGA: Yea, she's cool, and thank goodness you Matarangers didn't lose MataBlue to the Makutarangers.
*The Gaming Riders then appear alongside the Matarangers, and the Guardians looking out at Gamindustri before turning*(
SEGA, Mitsuko, and MataBlue: Super Hero Time! See ya later!
KKD: Whew! That took a lot of effort… but that's week one of the Triple Super Hero Time without Silver… done. *slumps into a chair*
Pikatwig: Suppose so. And next time for SEGA, it's a chapter concept I made.
KKD: Which is sorta sounding similar to this chapter from the looks of things.
Pikatwig: *shrugs* Anyway… my favorite part is two fold. First being when Hana turned into Sailor NiGHTS and then the end with Hana's drawing of Sailor NiGHTS atop Tokyo Tower.
KKD: Yea. To be honest, seeing as how I was waiting a long time to be in charge of a chapter, the entirety of Hana and NiGHTS relationship growing, along with Hana becoming Sailor NiGHTS, and that ending shot of her on Tokyo Tower. Fun fact, that shot was inspired by an actual image of NiGHTS on a tower. Don't think it's Tokyo Tower, but it's a cool shot regardless.
Pikatwig: Kinda had that image in mind with that sketch.
KKD: How about that. Great minds think alike I guess.
Pikatwig: And thus, we end it off.
KKD: Right. Until next time, this has been KKD Silver, the Crossover King…
Pikatwig: And… the still-pending Raiden Writer… Pikatwig…
KKD: And we'll see you next time. Jaa ne!
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
