The cleaning was finished, Neptune stayed mad at me, and a host of other things happened today. IF came back, and just as fast left. It seems there was some problems in another nation that had to be dealt with. She didn't even bother to say what nation it was. So upon my query, Histoire said she would do some research and that it would take about three hours. I suppose that was fine with me, so we went to one of the sub-buildings (Nepgear and I) to begin her training in the voice. It did not go well.

"My head hurts!" she complained.

"All you did was shout the phrase I taught you. You need to feel the voice, not utter it"

"I suppose I had higher expectations for my first time" she pouted.

"Well I would say practice, just if you get it right, try not to make Histoire mad" I concluded.

We did continue for some time, all the while I had an inclination to explore Planeptune and the surrounding country. Walking out of Planeptower to a crowd full of people wasn't normal, at least to them. I was stared at, like I was a celebrity who was on 'friend' terms with someone very important. I would have concluded that it was my hair and eyes, along with my 'great' costume that I was wearing (reminiscent of Rei Ryghts) that gave them pause, except that was appropriately normal here. I mean, look at Neptune. Some of them looked at me like that should be them, and not me. I turned to the tower, full of girls (I'll admit, I wasn't exactly sorry at the turn of events, except that my family might be dead, my world might be gone, and I am stuck in something that my brother would have thrived in) and inwardly smiled.

Planeptune was, well, purple and white. Other than that and the incessant Neptune cosplay (?) it was just like any other bustling city of my world. Some people stared at me, like I was familiar to them, and maybe I was. Others didn't even care, and walked the streets to its many stores and places, and went about their day. The biggest difference to my world and this one, was the regalia, the clothing, the look of the place. It was...different, animated like or something.

Water was an issue in some places where the remains of my fight could still be seen. Apparently a blizzard out of no where wasn't as much of a shock to these people as it would have been in my world. Even so there were some who looked annoyed, as if it were an inconvenience that happened all the time here. I would have to ask why someday.

Suddenly my phone buzzed (yeah actually its Rei's but my powers as a CPU allow for me to 'store' things in an inventory like someone would do in a video game. The phone was one of the only things I needed. Not like I was interested in the particulars of her undergarments-ahem).

"Histoire?" I said.

"Its bad! Something terrible is happening in Lastation!" She huffed over the phone "Ordinarily Noire would be the one to deal with this as its-"

"Who is Noire?" I interrupted "And where is Lastation, as I'm assuming its a place?" I think Jacob mentioned it, but unfortunately I was more interested in other things and am mentally kick my arse for this.

Roar! in the distance, and the flap of wings I shouldn't have heard if I were a normal guy.

"There isn't much time!"

"I know!" I said "Damn, send me Nepgear. She can fill the blanks in, and I promised to train her in the Voice anyway"

"Very well, look towards Planeptower then head east, Nepgear will direct you the rest of the way!"

I transformed and took to the air. People looked up in shock, yep I'm embarrassed.

"Good luck" Histoire puffed.

"By your leave" I said and hung up the phone.

Planeptower was easy to spot, and I boosted eastward.

Roar! That dragon again...

It wasn't long before Nepgear joined up.

"Sorry I'm lat-

"Who is Noire and what is Lastation?" I interrupted again.

"Oh right. Noire is Black Heart, the Lady of Black Regality."

"Sounds Gothic! And Black Regality?"

"Lastation" she answered.

"Its like Planeptune, then?"

"In a manner of speaking. Except while Planeptune is-

"Purple, Lastation is black, I get it" Color coded nations, and themes, who does that?

"So other than a Dragon, which is obvious, what is the 'terrible' occurrence in Lastation?"

"That's what confused us. IF said it was someone like you, or at least you would know him."

"Him?" she nodded.

Was it Miraak and his dragons or was it Alduin's Dragons? Or maybe...

A 'shout' was heard and Nepgear fell. A city was in the distance, and I knew it to be Lastation but this mountain she fell at had a building or several buildings on it.

At that moment I grew cold. Then I laughed, and laughed and laughed. I knew what it meant and I was insatiably angry and power swelled inside me. A moment more and the laughter was mixed, Rei's and my own. I descended to where Nepgear fell, she was awestruck, looking at my target in a complex of Ancient Nordic Design. These were the very precipices of Skyrim and in the midst of what looked like Draugr, for they were Draugr, was a Dragon Priest. He faced the dragon and the horde faced me.

I spoke with the dragon first.

"Making yourself at home are you?" Rei's voice was prominent but I was decidedly ignoring it.

"The dragon language Joshua!" Nepgear whispered and I held up a hand to stop her.

He answered "You are the challenger that defeated Livinerveh? Alduin wasn't pleased. Mashtalk will destroy you, for I have given great power to him"

Mashtalk bowed to the dragon as he flew off. If only I knew Dragonrend.

"The gift of the girl pleases me slave" he spoke to me like that and I replied

"Slave priest? High do you speak of yourself if you think to kill me. I took out Livinerveh!"

"So you have!" he prepared himself. I switched to english.

"Ready Nepgear?"

"What did they say?"

"Later" (One they fear) Damn that music.

I charged and so did they.

Staff to staff I was parrying his blows, but his power indeed matched that of a CPU. As the irises in my eyes can attest I am a CPU! I blasted him with magic and took to the air. He shouted and I dodged it. "Shake the ground and blow the skies" he said in the Dov like a spell. Nepgear was thrown to the ground and I was hurled. A powerful storm was swirling around, and the ground continued to shake.

"Ahhh!" she screamed as Draugr were swarming her and as I got up a swell of air pinned me to the ground.

"This is my Power!" he screamed and struck his staff. Lightning shot out and Draugr, more Draugr appeared.

"Power!" I shrieked and I swear, all I heard was her. Oh Alduin will pay. "Power! You have no power Priest. Not over me."

I got up, and this time there was no laughing, no maniacal outlook. But I was suddenly filled with her. The insane, the maniac within me, was let out, and it was all I could take to keep control. Dark looking energies swirled around me and I summoned my staff again. I rose to the air, in the middle of the storm and this time, I was unaffected. I pointed my staff and fired, like I knew what to do. I vaporized the Draugr he summoned, without uttering a single word. What have I become.

Mashtalk scowled and tried to say it again. That spell that knocked me down...no I won't, he won't...I'll stop you.

"Exe attack you bastard" I screamed and my voice was again mixed as I pointed to him with my palm. "Die" and a blast of energy was fired towards him. It hit him, and the Draugr on top of Nepgear collapsed. All of them.

I laughed and laughed, as the mania returned and he looked at me in fear.

"There is no escape! Now tell me. Where is he-where is Alduin." I staggered as Rei's power swelled up again. "Tell me where he is, where he-" My body felt suddenly weak, and I went to my knees. My eyes were wet. I'm crying?

"Where is he!" and her voice almost drowned mine out "He did this bastard, I'll kill you!"

At this he prepared to attack in the manner of Dragon Priests and was about to hit me as I-she kept jabbering at him. What the hell is wrong with me!

"Wher-where is he-ehe" My body sobbed but it was her, and I took my willpower and used it to move my arm. They were big when I saw them, did I... I felt my chest and it was... flat. My groin was ever present (sorry) and I inwardly sighed. I'm still a guy.

"Multiple Beam Launcher!" and he went down. At that I used all my willpower to transform and full control returned to me.

"What was all that?" Nepgear knelt down beside me, a questioning gaze aloft on her face.

"Me or the Dragon Priest?"

"Both" she said.

I took a deep breath.

"I have no idea what the hell happened to me, but as for him" I gestured to the collapsed and unconsciousness Dragon Priest.

"It's possible he's from here, because I doubt Alduin would have taken him from Tamriel, but You are looking at a Nordic structure from the Tamrielic Dragon age. Newly built and now a ruin thanks to us, but something that dots Skyrims landscape. Most of the Draugr are from here as well, because look at the bodies" I gestured to the bodies in a pile "None of them are rotten with time. But the ones he summoned are from Tamriel"

"So there is a way to get to Tamriel?" she asked.

I nodded "Yes, at least Alduin has a way. And he had a way" And what wasn't said was we might need a way.

"Oh no" Nepgear stood up, and became Purple Sister again.

"She's coming"

"Who" I asked and the answer presented itself.

"Black Heart!"
