Chapter 20: The Night
Adult Neptune and the One who was with her were in fixed beds from Neptune and Nepgear's rooms. They were healed, but unconscious. Everyone was in the room, just staring at Adult Neptune. Blaze was leaning against the wall while the other's were beside the bed.
"I thought That Neptune went to a different dimension..." Nepgear said.
"You mean she wasn't frozen in Hyper Dimension along with the rest of The World?" Blaze asked. Nepgear nodded.
"She left two weeks earlier to go bug hunting again. I wonder what happened..." Nepgear said.
"Uzume, You said this guy is the one that attacked you when we faced Fallen and Dark Purple?" Blaze asked as he glanced at Uzume, who nodded a Yes.
"Yeah, He said his name was Angel Daisuke. Then scarlet showed up and fought 'im." Uzume said.
"..."
"What?"
"It's just a guess... But, Angel probably betrayed Fallen, got heavily wounded, but managed to escape. Don't know about Neptune though..." Blaze said. "In Which case, we were right in healing him. Maybe he Knows Fallen's True Objective."
"Do you really think he'll tell us willingly?" Uzume asked.
"Probably Not. But, Since he came here with Neptune, and was wounded in the process, He tried to save Neptune and escaped. That's more than enough reason to help him." Blaze said.
"Well then, now we have an Opportunity of learning Fallen's Objective. This is good, we can stop him easier now if we know what he's planning. In the meantime, we should try and-" Before Violet could finish, A Slight Groan was heard.
The Source: Adult Neptune.
Everyone turned to see Adult Neptune. She was slightly opening her eyes, Waking up. When she opened them, Her eyes went wide. She tried to sit up in a panic, but felt a pain in her lower abdomen. She held it in pain as Nepgear pushed her back onto the bed.
"Don't Move, You're not ready to move yet." Nepgear said as Adult Neptune went wide eyed. She looked at Nepgear with shocked. Then all around her.
Then... She started to cry...
She started shaking slightly while tears ran down her face, confusing everyone.
"Huh?! W-What's Wrong, Neptune?!" Nepgear asked.
"Big Me?!"
"Big Nepsy?!"
"*Hic* Y-You're All... I... *Hic*... W-Waaah...!" She started to cry. Everyone was at a total loss here. Was a Reunion with her this emotional?
"C-Calm Down, Neptune! Why are you crying?! What's going on?!" Blaze asked. Neptune raised her head at him and stared at him with the most shocked eyes.
Think Getting Struck by Lighting Times over 9000, That's How shocked she was.(Not Literally, But you get the point, Right?)
"B...B...Bl...aze...?" She said. Everyone went wide eyed at What she said. How did she know Blaze? How did she know his name for that matter? If she left before Time froze, she shouldn't even know about his existence.
"Huh?"
Adult Neptune started to cry again, And it was a lot heavier. Tears ran down her face, flooding the side of the bed on both sides near her face.
"Blaze... Please..."
"Huh?"
"Lend Me... Your Strength... The... Parking... Building..." Adult Neptune said before passing out again.
"Neptune!"
"Big Me!"
"What... Was that...?" Unknown asked, Very confused.
"...What did she mean "Lend Me Your Strengh?" That part concerns me..." Blaze said as he crossed his arms.
"She also said "Abandoned Parking Building." There's probably something there that she hid." Unknown said.
"Hid Something? Like What?" Blaze asked.
"She hid... Croire there..." Another voice said. On the other bed, Daisuke awoke and was sitting up.
"You're Awake?"
"Yeah... Croire is at the abandoned Parking Building. Neptune hid her there to protect her from Fallen..."
"Speaking of whom, We have questions." Unknown said.
"Later. Croire comes first. We can't allow her to fall into His hands." Daisuke said.
"You-!"
"Alright. Me and Unknown will go check it out." Blaze said.
"What?!"
"Wait, Hold Up! Are you really gonna believe him!" Uzume yelled.
"Yep. It's better to at least check. Though I don't know which specific abandoned parking building..."
"It's the One that was supposed to be destroyed. It's not surrounded by Big Buildings, so you don't have to worry." Daisuke said. Blaze nodded and was about to go, But-
"I'm coming along on this trip~!" Violet said while raising her hand up in the air.
"No, You're Not."
"Why~?! You'd Take Scarlet! So why not me?!"
"Because I don't feel like badysitti- Scarlet is still outside." Blaze just realized. A Silence occurred as Blaze backed out of the room.
"I'll just... Go get her, and... We can uh... Leave..." Blaze said as he left the room. Everyone was silent.
"...What was Scarlet doing outside?" Neptune asked.
"You Know, After everything today, I forgot." Blanc said.
Blaze walked led out into the yard and found scarlet on her back, snoozing away. It was night now, since they treated Angel and Adult Neptune and all that happened. Blaze walked up to Scarlet and Picked her up bridal style and carried her back into the house. He went upstairs and walked into her room, which was a complete mess. No surprise there.
He set her down in her bed, but found Scarlet unconsciously gripping his sleeve with force. It was slightly trembling as he put his hand to it.
"(Must be having a nightmare...)" Blaze thought as he tried to pry her steel grip off him. Then, a shadow was seen behind the Blaze, not fairly big. When he looked back, Alice was in Her Purple star pajama's holding a stuffed bear, with Jet right beside her. Alice walked over to Blaze and pulled on his shirt.
"What?"
"...I'm sleepy..."
"..."
"Hmmm..."
"You wanna sleep with Scarlet tonight, Don't You?" Blaze asked, and Alice nodded in a drowsy manner. Alice then hugged Blaze while standing of her tip-toes, and she jumped onto the bed. Jet walked over to the bed, but not before sniffing Blaze. Blaze pet him.
"(I have not seen you in awhile, Boy...)" Blaze thought as Jet jumped onto the end of the bed. Alice hugged Scarlet, seeing that she was having a nightmare, and tried to comfort her, which worked. Scarlet unconsciously hugged Alice back.
Blaze sighed in defeat. He bent down and kissed big of his sisters' on the forehead. He then Exited the room, closing the door behind him. Blaze walked downstairs, where Unknown and Violet had been waiting for them.
"Are You're sisters in bed?" Violet asked.
"Yeah. Let's Go." Blaze said as he walked outside. When the three walked out into the driveway, Blaze's Truck was in it. Blaze froze for a moment, staring at his Truck.
"Wait a minute, Wasn't my Truck left in Chicago?!" Blaze asked.
"Magic. I used Magic." Violet said as she got in the Passenger seat. Blaze got in front, and Unknown got in back. Blaze then drove off towards the abandon Parking Lot, where they should find Croire.
...
~~~2 Hour Timeskip~~~
The Party of Three made it to their destination. Out in the bad part of Chicago, It was like any other parking building you would see. Except that Grass grew out of cracks in the concrete, And it was very old. It was supposed t be torn down sooner or later.
"Okay, Dark and Scary... Yeah, Couldn't have a better setting." Unknown said, looking at the Building, While blaze walked in front of him.
"Croire should be inside. Let's go in, grab her, and go home." Blaze said.
The Three of them then walked inside. Their footsteps echoing through the concrete parking. Violet kept looking around frantically, with a Scared but funny face, Unknown had his guard up, about to slash at anything that makes a noise, and Blaze just kept his cool.
"Where do we even start looking? Now That I think about it, this is a pretty strange place for Big Neptune to hide something." Unknown said, But Violet stepped forward.
"She's Here. I can feel her presence, along with one other's." Violet said.
"Do you know who?"
"No, But Croire is here. That much I'm Certain about."
"Then lead the way..."
Violet went up as Blaze and Unknown followed her. Their footsteps, echoing with every step they took. Finally, They've reached the 4th Floor of the building, and stood in front of a Elevator door.
"This is..."
"Croire is behind here... There is another one wandering the two floors above. He or She hasn't noticed our presence yet, so we can assume we're safe for now." Violet said. Blaze put her finger's between the elevator door and tried to open it with force, but to no avail.
"Unknown, Help me with this." Blaze said. Unknown went over and did the same, and both a pull, they opened it. When they did, there was no elevator. It was all the way down, probably further than the floor's there were. Blaze looked down it, seeing how dark it was.
"Croire is... Down there...?" Blaze asked. Violet nodded.
"Yes. That is correct."
"Why didn't we just go towards the bottom elevator then!?"
"This is where I felt Croire's energy resonate! Don't blame me!"
"Regardless, we should jump down there and get out of here. I already have a bad feeling..." Unknown said. Blaze was about to jump down, but Violet pulled on his shirt.
"What?"
"Carry Your Mother."
"...Excuse me?"
"You don't really think such a delicate lady, such as myself, would jump that far down there!? Now Carry Me!" She complained. Blaze sighed and lifted her up. He jumped down and Unknown did the same. Blaze was about to hit the surface, but he stopped midway and his Feet Lit up and Scorched like a rocket's, and he landed with a small thud. Unknown grabbed onto something close, and just jumped down with a smaller, louder thud.
They saw another Elevator door in front of them, inside a Light. Blaze set his mother down and Opened the Elevator door with Unknown's Help. Inside the room, was a Table with a Small Purple Notebook on it. It was Neptune's Nep Note. Looking at everything now, there was a lot of stuff in here. Broken equipment for god knows what, and alot of other broken things...
What this room was used for was beyond him, but something told him he didn't wanna find out.
There was also a Cell Phone antenna... Why?
"Someone must've been hiding out here..."
"In 'Someone', You mean Big Neptune?" Unknown asked.
"Probably. Anyway, Now that we've got Croire, Let's-"
*Ring~**Ring~!*
Looking at his pocket, he felt his phone going off. Well, least he found out what that antenna was for. How is it even working down here? That Was The Nonsensical Thing...
Pulling it out, The Caller ID Said "Hacking Bitch."
"It's Sarah. I gotta Take this." Blaze said as he put the phone to his ear.
"What?"
"Blaze? Are You Uh, Perchance, BUSY?"
"Nooo... Not Particularly... Why...?"
"Well Uh, There is this One Chick who Dyed her Hair, that keeps bothering me and Claire about you!"
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"...Um... Could You... describe her...?"
"Long Purple Lilac Hair, Black Hoodie, No Pants, Won't Shut Up about finding you or something. Something about saving the World."
Blaze's Eyes Widened when he heard the description. He looked down at the book.
...
...
...
...
"Could You Uh... Put her on the Phone...?"
"?, Sure. Hey, He want's to talk."
"Heya! Is This Blaze Speaking!?"
...
...
...
...
"Yes... It Is... Can You Tell me your name...?"
"Sure! My Name is Neptune! Nice to meet ya!"
...
...
Fallen and Kurome faced the Deity of Sin, Arfoire, as she floated in front of them.
"I'll Admit, This was a trying process, but we've succeeded." Fallen said.
"...Are you sure they can get the job done?" Kurome asked with suspicion.
"Relax Yourself. You worry over small things. She will undoubtedly get the job Done. Along with the Other toys we've created... and Collected..." Fallen said.
"Listen Closely. You are to Capture the Histoire, CPU's, and Alice Vön SoulRipper Alive, and Unspoiled..." Fallen said...
"Kill All who stand in your way..."

AN: Just a Heads Up, This Abandoned parking building is entirely Fictional.(I Think)
