Hey guys! I feel like my goal right now is to become (at least) the biggest fanfic for the Neptunia/ Kamen rider section, which at the moment, I'm pretty sure is held by Kamen rider Dark Drive: Hyperdimension road (ShadowBladeKnight) and with this, I'm around 70k. Huh, never really though of it like that. Anyway, welcome to Lowee, Let's go! (That's the first time I changed that in ages...)

Super hero time!

Ex-aid: Naruto: getting ready to change up the wave are we?

Naruto: and you're off to the world of the Wii!

Ex-aid: Chessranger? I think I'll stick with the game drive...

Naruto: Don't count out the classics!

E-a + N: Game start! Show time!

It was almost like Christmas.

Surrounded by a blanket of pure snow, trudging along through the frosted branches, the group made their way deep into Lowee, Compa shivering all the way.

I-I-Iffy…It's…free…freez…freezing here!" the nurse stuttered out, clutching herself tightly. Her jumper was just about the only thing appropriate for the sub-zero temperature, a skirt doing very little to ward off the merciless iced east winds.

"Yup. Lowee is perennially covered in snow. Here's your warmer." the agent explained, handing the poor girl what looked to be a blanket with holes cut through to allow the arms and head to be left uncovered. Draping the garment over herself, Compa gave IF a beaming grin.

"Thank you."

"5pb, don't feel the cold? I would be freezing if I wore something like that." Egi commented as he glanced upon the idol's attire. She did little to change her pop costume, adding only a teal scarf and gloves into the mix.

"Oh, I've had to preform without any warm stuff for concerts, so I kind of got used to it…" she admitted with a small blush brought on by the frost, staying close to the doctor. Egi had decided to go the full mile, replacing his doctor's coat with a black full winter jacket, yellow gloves, red scarf and a black bobble hat for fun, emblazoned with the words 'Level Up!' upon the front.

"Hey Nep, do you need one?" IF called out to the CPU, though turning around showed that she was happily frolicking through the snow like a hyperactive child, blowing into the air and watching the resulting cloud with amazement.

"Yay! Snow! Look, Look! Iffy, my breath is white! Dragon breath attack!" Neptune yelled out, running up to the brunette and blowing a huge cloud in her face.

"You know, there's a part of me that feels like the situation is familiar somehow, if a little less dangerous." Egi remarked, his mind flashing back to a different time…

D-D-DRAGO! KNI-KN-KN-KNIGHT! DRAGO-DRAGO-DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER!

NEPTUNE!

IF!

COMPA!

LYRICA!

"I'm a fire breathing dragon; all of your arguments are invalid!" Neptune cheered, moving around like she imagined a dragon would do so. "Hear my fearsome roar!" The roar was made even more fearsome by the stream of blue flames she unleashed from the mouth that covered her head.

But that was a story for another time.

"Hey, hey Iffy! Do you want to build a snowman?" the purple haired girl asked in a singing voice, IF giving a sigh before walking over with Compa's hand in her own.

"I guess that's the best answer I'm going to get." She sighed.

'Wait, so Neptune is perfectly fine like that?' Egi wondered before he took his hat off.

No issue.

Removing the scarf?

No issue.

Getting rid of the gloves?

No issue.

Finally removing the coat and returning all the items into their respectful place in his inventory, bringing out his usual doctor's coat?

No issue at all.

"Hey guys, let us join!" he yelled out cheerfully, rushing over to where the trio had already began their foundations and soon there was no worries over finding the key fragments, no cares for urgency in order to make sure they weren't duped as they had been before and no cares for the time as they built up an impressive snowman, occasionally chucking the odd snowball that would start a small war between the party.

It was like Christmas.

Strolling into the opulence that was the Lowee Basilicom, the party found the place relatively lively despite the bitter coldness of the outside that would put off a great many people from leaving the safety of their own home heating. Neptune took the initiative, walking confidently up to the counter before asking the woman who stood behind the counter,

"Yo! Is lady White Heart around here?"

"Oh? So you wish to see Lady White Heart?" she responded with a bow of her head. The woman wore a brown French maid's costume, the hat resting upon blonde hair over inviting chocolate eyes.

"Why yes! There are a number of questions we would like to ask of her." Compa confirmed.

"Very well then, allow me to introduce myself. I am Financier, lady White Heart's chamberlain." The now titled Financier greeted. "You are brave to weather the cold outside; we don't get too many who aren't locals around here because of it. Let me get you all something warm."

"Ooh, can I get a nice warm bowl of stewed pudding?" Neptune immediately requested as Compa's mouth began to water.

"I would be happy if I had a lovely cup of sugar topped with hot chocolate…" she remarked with a content smile while Egi shivered. It was hard to forget what had happened when the ditzy nurse had been allowed to go wild while under a sugar rush.

WowIfeelasifIjustatefifteenbagsofsugardon'taskmewhyfifteenjustacceptit!

"I feel as if it would be best if you just brought us a tea kettle, overwise my companions may start treating this place like a restaurant." The god of Genmeer deadpanned with a sweatdrop, mirrored by Financier.

"Of course. I'll get it as fast as I can."

"And with a flick of his wrist, a beautiful bouquet of roses mystically appeared in his hand, Haruto giving the colourful gift to Koyomi…" sat within the heights of her basilicom, surrounded by windows that let all of the outside light in and offered a grandious view of her nation, Lady White Heart scribbled away upon her sheets.

Adjusting the white hat rimmed with brown and decorated by blue cloth upon her brown hair, she diligently worked away on the epic romance she had created, pouring all of her heart into the novel., so when the sudden rapping came upon her door, she was quick to jump up, shoving the book into one of her desk's drawers silently after much practice.

"Lady White Heart, we have some visitors that would like to converse with you." Her trusted chamberlain, Financier, called through the oak. Correcting her white ruffled coat covered in brown fur, she gave one glance to the mirror before responding.

"So they finally came. Let them enter."

"Hello there Lady White Heart! My name is Neptune and the rest here is-"

"Cut the introduction. I already know who you all are very well." White heart interrupted, stoic blue eyes gazing deep into Neptune's lilac.

"Really? Are we all like, super famous or something?" Neptune asked as Egi let his palm meet his face.

"Neptune, I appeared on TV as the most recent CPU, 5pb is a world renowned artist, IF is an experienced gild agent and you and Compa are the ones most commonly seen with us." He explained with a sigh. "It's only inevitable that a goddess would know of us."

"Yes, you're very famous." White Heart agreed.

"Heh, now you're just making me blush." Neptune remarked.

"Famous as messengers of Momus that is."

Silence came after the Lowee goddess' declaration, bad memories coming back from the manipulation of Arfoire only days prior.

"Wait, here too!?" Compa exclaimed as White Heart clicked, a group of heavily armoured soldiers coming out of all entrances and hiding places, though all positioned so that direct view of the work she had been doing upon her desk was impossible.

"Everyone, capture those heretics quickly." She ordered, the men responding quickly by grabbing a hold of the girls as they struggled greatly.

GASHACON BREAKER!

When meeting the strength of Egi's hammer however, they faltered quickly, leaving the entire party ready to fight.

"So they're the messengers of Momus." One of the many white garbed basilicom staff members commented as they all watched the chaos of the party fighting back against the army the goddess had brought in. "There's only one man and the rest are all children. Do you think he's corrupted them?"

"Don't be fooled by their looks. After all, look at Lady Blanc." Another replied until a third butted in.

"It can't be! He's the new CPU of that place Genmeer, Game Heart! Why would he be a messenger of Momus?" they scoffed as the rider pulled out his original gashat, pressing the button as he flicked it until it was upside down.

MIGHTY ACTION X!

Chocolate blocks flew out of the summoned screen, blocking each of the staff's pathways towards them, the rider giving a smirk as a breeze blew through his hair. "Henshin!"

GASHAT!

LET'S GAME! MECCHA GAME! MUUCHA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME!?

I'M A KAMEN RIDER…

"Come on guys, keep up!" Egi taunted, batting away the next few who were foolish enough to be tricked by his bulkier stature. Hiding behind him, the girls all cowered, unwilling to attempt to fight back the men, but the numbers were unending as any available fighter joined in to back them against the side wall, with only the gamer left to protect them.

"Damnit, all of our weapons are meant to eliminate! 5pb, can your guitar do anything?" IF asked, the songstress shaking her head sadly.

"No… the songs are specifically meant to work against monsters and lightning will be fatal. I could only bash them against the head with it, but it's dangerous against stronger weapons…"

"Looks like you've gotten yourselves cornered." Blanc casually stated, looking bored if not anything else.

"Blanc, are you really serious? We're not messengers of Momus!" Egi questioned, but the same empty look was sent in his direction.

"Dead serious. I suppose that I'll just have to end your misery here too, Game Heart. What a ridiculous looking armour." She spat in return.

"Is her really serious about fighting like that?" the first member spoke aloud. "Looks like you can barely move in the thing."

Don't underestimate him! He has a normal armour that's just as powerful as any other CPU and who knows what else." The second shot back as he held his rifle forward. Placing his hand upon the driver's handle, Egi kept his hammer up threateningly.

"Right, I want you to not question anything I'm about to do and follow my orders." He ordered, not waiting for a reply as he swung the front open to reveal the purple screen. "Dai-henshin!"

GACHAA! LEVEL UP!

MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY-MIGHTY ACTION! X!

GASHUUN!

GASHAT!

KIMEOUJA!

Egi's armour broke apart, forcing the crowd blocking the original entrance back to avoid the flying pieces of metal that unveiled his level 2 action gamer form. Giving a sarcastic salute as green and purple energy gathered at his right leg, he turned, grabbing Compa and Neptune the hand.

"All together, run as fast as you can towards the window!"

The stained glass pane shone in the light produced by Egi's charged attack, the party dashing over to it before any of the soldiers could regain their bearings. They got dangerously closer by the second, with the people also moving to stop them in their tracks, but a single button press on the slot holder changed everything.

"Jump!"

MIGHTY CRITICAL STRIKE!

With a loud crash, they all leapt through the now shattered glass as astonished bystanders watched in amazement if they weren't running away from the incoming shower of red, blue and yellow shards. Soldiers watched in confusion as they leapt a tremendous distance, falling a certain amount before a brown block like he had summoned before appeared beneath them for the party to jump off of.

KAISHIN NO IPPATSU!

"Guards! Get them back under our grasp at all costs! We can't afford to have people like them running free in our nation!" Blanc roared, the staff members moving to chase after the fleeing group. Left alone in her room, she gave a glance to the shattered remains of one of her windows before sighing.

"To think it's only a matter of time before the choose to bloom red flowers onto the white snow here… even after they die it midnight black…"

Financier huffed as she forced her legs to run at speeds she had never done before.

"I better get moving quick… hopefully I can get to them first and get this whole mess sorted out soon…"

"That was incredibly dangerous if amazingly thrilling!" IF huffed, clutching onto Egi as she tried to catch her breath. They had retreated into a quiet alleyway, Egi removing his transformation once there were no signs of patrolling police to contend with.

"I'm starting to get sleepy though." Compa yawned, curling in on herself slightly. "How long have we been out?"

"We did arrive at the basilicom later than we usually would, seeing as we couldn't take the bike all of this way." Egi commented, looking down on the watch he had decided to purchase on a whim.

"But what do we do about sleeping? We didn't bring any sleeping bags and going into hotels means we could be caught…" 5pb worried, with fair reason. Going into visible areas or shops would mean that they would leave a trail that could be followed, one that the Lowee basilicom could chase down. If they chose not to go, they could potentially believe that they retreated back home as without any sleeping arrangements, the forests were too cold to lie without protection or fire in.

"We should make our way out of the city, but stay close to the edge." Egi decided, prompting them to follow his lead as he led them out of the walls in a twisting route. "It shouldn't be too far off, so we should focus on trying to find some allies willing to partner themselves with us."

"It's going to be much harder with the CPU against us though…" IF remarked, crossing her arms as they walked.

"Then we just need to prioritise getting ourselves some help then!" Neptune proudly declared. "We just need to jimmy the lock for a brand new stock of any old stuff to get us going! Party up to get us pumped to fight!"

"Oh tell me you're just kidding right!?"

"Egi don't encourage the reference."

What do you mean?"

And so they continued , with only their own banter to accompany them against the entirety of Lowee. They had faced problems before and now they could add going against a goddess' power to the list, but a CPU and the nation's forces all believing that they were heretics and determined to see their execution? That was a completely different scenario.

One that could turn out many ways…

Sat upon the top of one of the unique mushroom shaped houses, a man watched the rustling of the forests branches as birds flew out into the cold in order to find food and items for their nests. Despite the terrible conditions, there were a great variety of different berries that grew upon the bushes, meaning there was little competition for them to flourish. The man himself brushed the sugar from the donut he was eating off of his red jeans, standing up with a yawn as he put the remains of one back into its bag.

"Man, today is rather boring isn't it?" he commented to himself as he stretched. He had managed to content himself with a small amount of bird and people watching, but even that was bound to grow tiresome after a set amount of time. With a fearless leap, he startled the residents below as he landed just in front of their window, walking off with a jaunty wave.

"Today also seems colder than usual." Walking pat a newspaper stand, he gave a brief look to the front cover news, intrigued to see whatever drivel they had chosen to splash onto the front as incredible news.

New god of Gamindustri: a messenger of Momus corrupting the innocent?

"Care to buy sir? Cheapest around these parts!" giving a shake of his head to the stand owner, he began to walk away backwards with another wave, turning around as he held up the newspaper in front of him so that it was hidden by his body.

"So there's been a new scandal?" it took a moment for the strange look of the main fighter in the image, somehow having been taken while the fight within the basilicom was occurring, to register with the man.

"Oh I see, it's one of us… that makes a lot of sense."

But what was one of them doing in this place? He had thought that the ghost was still wandering about the worlds, finding great new discoveries as Tsukasa had done. In fact, apparently there was also another version of him, an AR version, within a whole new world of his own.

"Ah yes, I remember when he told me about him while he spied on his counterpart." The man remarked, pushing back orange hair. "Part wolf and has Gai to help him."

"Excuse me! Have you seen these people!?" a voice cried out to him, causing the man to turn around and catch a maid to his stomach, knocking them both over.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! The snow made me lose my grip and I… never mind." Pulling himself up before lending the woman a hand, she gestured to the newspaper in his hand.

"Did you see the people on the newspaper? I need to find them for something important." She urgently requested, drawing a raised eyebrow from the man.

"Why? I don't know them myself, but they don't exactly look the kind to be these Moomoo messengers or whatever." He returned, Financier giving a sigh of relief.

"It's nice to see another that thinks the same way! Wait, did you take that name from pocketed monstrosities? No, wrong topic. I need to find them as soon as possible so that I can help them! Do you know where they are!?"

"No, but perhaps I could help you in the search." He suggested, receiving a suspicious look before she submitted.

"You do look a lot more physically capable than me." She admitted. "So, what may I call you?"

In a surprise show of acrobatics, he leapt up onto one of the nearby rooftops, looking out into the wilderness outside of the main city.

"I have been called a few things in my life. Just call me…"

"…Okay then."

Game pause! Okay, that was nice. With Ex-aid, I'm sure there's a significance to the christmas holiday, but for the life of me, I just can't remember... Oh well, I'm sure it wasn't important. Next time is where the fun really kicks in, meet the faces that blend into the crowd! watch me again on sundays!
