Episode 29: Info Dump

Gene, Chika and Vert are getting ready to head for a Leanbox festival as they get into their kimonos. Gene is in his favorite blue star patterned kimono which fits his slender frame, his black shoulder length black hair is neat and stylish while his bright red eyes and light skin tone complement his outfit.

"Wow, you look cute like a girl," Chika said as she is wearing a white kimono to fit her slim yet busty figure.

"He looks quite handsome," Vert said as she is wearing a green kimono fitting her curvy body especially showing off her huge round breasts, thin waist, and big shapely butt with her long blond tied in a ponytail.

"You look quite hot in that?" he replies back.

"Thank you Angel," she goes up to him to kiss on the lips with Chika having envy in her eyes.

"Hey Vert, how do I look?" she asked to strike a pose to stick out her chest.

"You are cute Chika," Vert said as she takes Gene by the arm and have him escort her to the festival with Chika feels shafted. He looks at her chest to notice they gotten bigger with them jiggling in her kimono. "So you noticed," she said.

"Oh yeah," he said as she presses her chest against his arm.

"They are a G Cup now, thanks to your expert breast massaging skills. You will enjoy the fruits of your labor very soon," Vert said in a low sexy tone.

"Can't wait," he said as they reach the festival to see Vert is on top of a stage to greet her adoring fans.

"Hey Gene," Cave said behind him and Chika.

"Hey Cave, wow you look very pretty," Gene complemented as Cave is wearing a red kimono shaping around her hourglass figure keeping her two pig tails.

"Thank you, that is very sweet. You look quite nice as well," she said to show a small smile.

"Hey you can make out now," Chika joked as they both brush that off.

"I don't want a harem, dealing with one woman is enough for me," he said to look longing at Vert who looks so beautiful on stage greeting her fans with her wonderful smile and her elegant demeanor.

"Well folks I hope you enjoy our little festival dedicated to our friends on the continent. Have fun," Vert said as she goes off the stage with Cave and Gene nearby protecting her.

"Great presentation Vert," Gene said.

"Thank you sweetie. Now let's go have some fun," Vert said with a bright smile which always made Gene's heart melt.

The couple go through the festival to see everyone having a good time with Gene getting some funnel cakes. "Sweets for the sweetest girl in the world," he said as he hands her treat to go sit on bench.

"Oh you spoil me," she said.

"You deserve it Princess," he said as the begin eating their funnel cake as Vert's taste buds are dancing with delight.

"This is very good," Vert said taking a bite of the sweet treat.

"Yeah pretty nice," he said having a grin on his face as they see 5pb is on the stage to start singing her new song to the crowds pepping up the atmosphere. "So Vert, I wonder we should head for a water park next time," Gene said.

"Oh yes, that would be wonderful. I would love to show you my new bikini to you," Vert said as he imagines her breasts in a pretty bikini top with him having a nose bleed with Vert giggling at this.

"That would be great," he said as he noticed she has the necklace he gave her on her birthday. "You are wearing the necklace," he said as it rests on her ample bust.

"Of course, my Angel gave it to me. So I want to proudly display it for all the world to see," Vert said.

"So Vert, what do you think of us in the next five years," Gene said.

"Still be with you and having a happy life together. Just you and me," Vert said to eat her funnel cake.

"It will be wonderful," he said as they finish their snack with them linking hands to enjoy the rest of the festival.

"I think so as well," she said as she lays her head onto his shoulder for them to go onto the next area. "Gene, did you mean it about being committed to me," Vert said as he kisses her.

"Of course, I am dating the most beautiful, kind and graceful woman in the world. Why I ask for less," Gene said.

"I see your point. I am the best," Vert said proudly to toss her long hair in the wind with Gene catching the scent of her strawberry shampoo.

"Beside you make me whole and so happy," Gene said to put his arm around her slender waist. "My previous life was filled with death and pain. Everywhere I turn with my weapons, there was dead bodies everywhere. That is a life you can't have forever," Gene said as Vert can feel a sense of sadness in his tone.

"Gene," Vert said softly as her beautiful blue eyes moist at his pained expression.

"When I am with you, I feel at peace. Total bliss in your presence," he said as Vert's heart just melted from his words and suddenly latches onto him to give him a deep kiss.

"Oh you're so sweet, I am going to have diabetes," Vert said as her heart was beating pretty fast from his gestures.

"That's how I fell despite I sound very sappy," he said.

"No, you're not sappy. You are just expressing yourself and I am quite touched by that," Vert said.

"Vert, this bodyguard isn't a job for me anymore. I protect you because I wanted to, I protect you because I love you and seeing you frown is the biggest sin to me," Gene said as Vert gives him a big hug.

"Gene, I didn't think you have such strong feelings for me," Vert said.

"Do you?" he asked.

"Of course, you give my lonely life such zest. I love you too my sweet angel," she said as they embrace each other.

"Hey you two stop being touchy-feeling," Chika said as she sees them looking into each other's eyes very intently.

"Oh right, let's have some fun," Vert said as they continue into the festival as soon enough they came back to the Basilicom. The couple come onto Vert's room as Gene presses Vert against a wall to begin making out.

"Oh Gene. I need to take out my kimono first," Vert said as she feels him groping her ass.

"But you look so sexy in it," he said as she puts her tiny little finger on his lips.

"Down big boy okay," she said as she first strips him out of his kimono to show him only wearing a pair of black formfitting boxers with blue stripes patterns. "So cute," she said as she licks her lips looking at his bugle twitching under his underwear as she rubs her hand on his crotch gently making him flinch in pleasure.

"Your turn," he said as she gets out of her kimono to reveal lacy white bra and panties which highlights her curves quite well. "You look great but you look good anything," he said as she has a little sexy smile as they fall onto the bed with Vert on the bottom with Gene on top to exchange saliva with Gene and Vert rubbing against each other's bodies while they twist their tongues into their mouths with passionate kissing.

"Vert, your show is about to start," Chika said as she freaks out to see them half naked in the bed making out. "Get some clothing you animals. I don't want to hear you moaning again," Chika said as to shut the door hard.

"Oh guess we have to put our little exercise later," Vert said as she kisses him on the lips.

"Oh, I want more," Gene said like he is begging like a little puppy wanting his treats.

"Just wait a little bit. After I am done with my livestream, we can fool around as much as we like," Vert said.

"Okay," he said as Vert gets into her nightgown to set up her camera to begin her story.

"Hello Internet. This is your beloved goddess Green Heart speaking and now we should continue our story," Vert said as the team is within the cabin as Neptune and Croire are getting their feast on as Gene whips up a good lunch for them to eat.

"Thanks Gene, this is awesome," Neptune said as she is chopping down her meal.

"You are not bad girly boy. I was starving using all that energy to protect this dumbass from the time distortion," Croire said.

"No problem ladies," Gene said as Histoire is thinking about their situation.

"We need more information. We need to go to the Lastation Info Center and hack their systems to get to know where are the Dark Spires along with other information. It's in the city of Sewell" Histoire said.

"Alright, me Gene and Vert will go and grab that data," Neptune said as the trio goes off with Histoire watching over Natal who is still offline.

The trio are within the forest to head for the city which is just a hike away. "Oh great walking," Vert said.

"Don't complain," Gene said.

"Oh I wish I had my games with me but they got wipe out within the timeline," Vert is starting to cry at the thought. "All my game saves and collections gone in the winds of time. This is terrible," she wiped as Gene gives her a hug to calm her down.

"It's okay, once we fix this. You can get your games back," Gene said in a calming tone.

"Okay, you promise," she said.

"Yes Princess I promise," Gene said to soothe her down.

"Okay, let's go kick your master's rear end and get my games back," Vert said to go forward.

"Gene, your girlfriend is weird," Neptune said.

"Yeah but she is very nice so that balance it out," Gene said as the trio is nearby the city. They are on the outskirts to see its quite lively to see several PMC soldiers walking around in the streets.

"We should sneak around. Vert meet us at the info center," Neptune said.

"Right," Vert turns on HDD and flies up in the sky with Gene and Neptune blending in with the crowd to head for the center.

They see the sense of fear among the people to see a group of soldiers harassing a store vendor. "These Farsight guys are quite the thugs," Neptune said.

"You have no idea," Gene said as he remembers group being ruthless to anything they see as a threat.

They manage to find the center to see its heavily guarded with Farsight troopers and robots. "The roof has very little security on it," Vert said as she quickly stabs the soldiers to end their lives with Neptune and Gene scaling up the side of the building.

"Good work Vert," Gene said as they go into a vent to climb inside. Neptune is first, Vert is second and Gene is behind Vert. "Nice view," he said as he staring at Vert's butt hugging back of her skirt.

"Glad you noticed," she flirted back as Neptune groans at this.

"Okay lovebirds, calm it down," Neptune said as she slips out the vent into a room. Vert tries to get out but she is stuck with her hips unable to move.

"Vert, you are stuck are you?" Gene asked as he sees her legs flings around.

"Yes but it's not my fault that I have such beautiful womanly hips. Gene be a dear and push me out," Vert said as he put his shoulder on her butt and give it a nice shove to push her out.

"There you go," Gene said as they go into the hallways to see its quite empty. "The charts say the server room is just around the corner," they move through the building as another unknown girl is going into the building.

"Arfoire, I am inside the Lastation Information Hub," the girl said in a flat toneless voice via telepathic link.

"Good work, this is not what I expected but it's to be expected from these humans. So unpredictable and rash, they can't be trusted," she said.

"I know, it's what you said. Humans are dangerous and they need to be controlled," the girl goes into a room filled with soldiers.

"What the hell, this is a secured zone. Go back," a soldier said pointing his rifle at her.

"Filthy humans," she said in disgust to pull out a beam saber with the soldier sounding the alarm.

"We got a CPU here," the soldier shouted on the radio but a mysterious force slams him into the wall with enough to burst into a gory mess. A group of soldiers' open fire as their bullets simply bounce off an invisible shield from the girl.

She swift slashes at the men and women to sever their limbs and heads leaving burning bodies behind her. "Time to destroy this place," she said to rush through the hallways to kill anybody in her way.

The trio got into the server room to see the whole building is on lock down. "What is going on here?" Neptune wondered as she summons her dual blades.

"We didn't trip any alarms," Gene said as he continues to hack into the computer to check on the history of the world. "Interesting, Lastation's rulers Noire and Uni have been pushed out due to a military coup with Uni in prison and Noire on the run," Gene said.

"So there is version of those two here. We should seek them for help getting the spires and fixing this time mess," Vert said.

"I agree, the more CPUs the better," Gene said to download the locations of the Dark Spires within Lastation. "Interesting, they were experimenting with the energy from the Dark Spires. This is pretty bad," Gene said as they gather the info they needed for them to get out of there for robots are pouring through the hallways.

"Time to nep these bots up," Neptune said as the trio bust through way out of the center with Neptune slashing robots with her swords.

Vert cuts down multiple bots and shoot out wind orbs to blast them into oblivion as Gene tosses his chakrams to tear through groups of machines.

"Unknown CPU detected, suppress the threat at once," the computer voice said on the speakers within the building as a big soldier in heavy battle armor wielding a machine gun to send a wave of bullets down the hallway. They get cover for Gene go behind a crate and he puts his hand onto it to fire a short energy burst to send the crate flying to slam into the heavy to stun him.

"Light Raid," Neptune charges up light energy into her left blade and tosses it slicing the soldier down the middle to magically call it back into her hands.

"Sir, we have a situation here," a soldier said.

"Understood," the commander said on the radio as he looks at the camera feed to notice Gene there. "Gene long time no see. Time to give him a warm welcome," the commander said.

The trio enter into a large warehouse area as Gene comes in to see a familiar face. "Shako," he said as he sees a tall man dressed in military armored bodysuit with his arms and legs being cybernetic.

"Hello there, it's been a while. I didn't think you would survive the time distortion wipe but knowing you. You would find a way; it saddens me to see you are with the enemy. The CPUs," Shako said.

"I am not a part of that life anymore," Gene said.

"You know him?" Neptune asked.

"Yeah I used to work for the Farsight PMC as their assassin but I left due to personal reasons," Gene said.

"More like a personal tragedy involving a certain someone," Shako said as this got Gene really fired up.

"Don't you dare speak of that," Gene said sounding quite angry.

"Oh I have do since you abandon us and join up with the enemy you swore to defeat. The master had taught you everything about combat and this is how you repay him. You didn't learn your lesson the first time," Shako said.

"Why do you hate the CPUs so much?" Vert asked.

"Because we hate the fact we are ruled by a couple immature yet immortal brats like you. With your pointless console wars, you cause the suffering and deaths of many people. Look at the Lowee VS Leanbox war as a result and you see my point," Shako said.

"That's crazy," Neptune said.

"No he is right," Gene said as both Vert and Neptune are confused by this. "I will admit the Goddesses are quite childish and bratty. They get into pointless agreements which can blow up cities and they have ruthless marketing tactics that could backstab one another while hurting their subjects," Gene said.

"Wow, that is way too harsh," Vert said feeling a bit insulted but felt the harsh truth in his words.

"But I have work with them and see they are good friends while nice girls. They get into agreements sure but they saved the worlds countless times and through their console wars they grown respect for one another making the world grow and evolve in a positive way. I would never learn that if I stay back in Farsight," Gene said to wield his chakrams to get into battle stance.

"Well said," Neptune said.

"Ditto," Vert said as they prepare to fight.

"Oh so naïve, you forgot your mission. We humans have grown pass the CPUs and our master helping the world realize we can control our destiny without the gods using us like playthings," Shako said to power up his cybernetic with them having blue pulsing energy in them.

"Is that Share energy?" Vert questioned looking surprised.

"Yes, we manage to use it as a power source to give us impressive powers," Shako said as he swiftly goes in and kicks Vert launching her into a metal wall.

"Vert," Gene said as the trio get ready.

"You are on the wrong side of history kid," Shako said as he juices up his legs to use a speed boost to appear like a blur. Gene is casting down lightning bolts with Shako easily dodging them with him coming in delivering several strong fast blows to knock him on his back.

Gene rolls out of the way of a downward kick as he grabs his leg to give him a painful shock. Neptune pulls out her handguns and starts blasting at him to hit the right arm damaging it. "Damn it, hold still like a good crazy cyborg," Neptune said with Shako is flipping around dodging her bullets.

"Laser Array," Shako turns his left arm into a cannon to fire a series of homing lasers with the trio scattering to avoid the laser shots. Vert is gracefully parrying away the attacks with Neptune using her blades to deflect the blasts away.

"Now it's my turn," Neptune goes on the offensive to cross blows with Shako to keep up with his attacks while she blocks and evading his strikes.

"Neptune is holding her own despite not being goddess," Gene said looking impressed by Neptune's combat skills.

"Yes she is very strong for a human," Vert said as she turns to HDD mode to flies at high speed at Shako to support Neptune with the PMC commander is holding his own against the two females.

"Not bad," Shako activates an energy shield on his right arm to block Neptune's hit and kicks Vert away. He punches Neptune in the face to slam her onto the ground to see Neptune's head is bleeding.

"Damn it, he is strong," Neptune said as Gene is squaring off against Shako with Vert by his side.

"No shit," Gene said as he kicks at Shako for the commander grabs it and slam Gene face first onto the floor. Vert noticed his right metal arm is damage as she sends out a blast of wind to knock Shako off balance with Vert using her polearm to slash the arm off.

"Shit, not bad at all," Shako uses the Share energy to start repairing his arm to return it back to 100% condition.

"Are you kidding me," Neptune and Gene said at once.

"Oh yes," he goes and punches Neptune in the stomach to make her spit out blood onto the floor while breaking a few ribs. He kicks her into wall to smash through it.

"Neptune," Vert said as she gets quickly shot in the arm by Shako with Vert bleeding pretty badly to be on her knees holding her wound.

"It's a shame Gene. You used to be Master Bal's best student but you are old news now," Shako said to arm his arm blaster at Vert's head.

"Don't you touch her," Gene said as his voice is getting heated as his eyes are beginning to dull.

"What are you going to do about it, failing like last time protecting a girl you cared about," he kicks Vert in the head to fall onto the floor with the barrel of his blaster staring at her in the face.

"Don't you FUCKING TOUCH HER!" Gene activate his Goddess Armor as his anger explodes with energy pouring out of his body with the whole building shaking from the intense power boost.

The three look at Gene to see his face has change to be more cold and detached with his eyes completely devoid of life. Shako and everyone else felt in intense killing intent within Gene to be frozen in fear of it.

"This is…" Shako said.

"Die," Gene's voice is flat and emotionless to come at Shako to slash him once to appear behind him with his sword hold tight in his grip.

"So this is the power you once had as an assassin for the Farsight. I see why the master speaks highly of you," Shako's body explodes with bone, blood and gore spreading across the whole room with Gene covered in guts and pieces of bones.

"Oh man, you were like a different person," Neptune said to hold up her head still bleeding.

"It's something I would keep in check. It slipped out," Gene said as he heals up the girls as he reverts back to normal.

"Hey Gene, you have a GPU thingie too?" Neptune asked.

"Oh wait what?" he asked as she shows him a similar armored bracelet on her arm.

"We are GPU buddies," Neptune said with a goofy smile.

"Who gave that to you?" Gene asked.

"Oh Plutia and Histoire from my world came it to me. Its connected to Plutia's power," Neptune said.

"Oh Vert are you okay?" he asked to see her wounds had healed.

"Yes, more importantly. Are you okay?" Vert asked seeing he has calmed down.

"He just brought back bad memoires," Gene said as he sees a flashback of a town being on fire and groups of Farsight soldiers are wiping out citizens with Gene crying at this memory.

"Gene, you are crying," Vert said to wipe the tears off his face.

"Oh yeah. Just fading bad memoires. Let's get out of here," Gene said as a girl appears outside for them to be on the roof to see the girl is surrounded by thousands of soldiers and robots.

"Who is that?" Neptune wondered.

"We got her, prepare to open fire on the CPU," the commander said.

"Wait she is a CPU," Vert said as the girl has a smirk on her face.

"Worthless humans," she said in a flat tone as she widens her eyes as a large unseen force explodes out of her to hit everything around her to turn them into piles of gore and scrap metal spreading far and wide hitting the streets, walls and buildings.

"Holy shit, she is a psychic and a very powerful at that," Gene said awestruck by her display of telekinesis. The girl looks up at them for all three of them to feel very uneasy by the sight of her bright green eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"So that is Vert. Not worth my time," the girl said sensing Vert's power and not impress by it to warp out of there.

"Can you feel that?" Neptune asked.

"Yes her power is beyond anything I felt before not even Rei was this strong. She is only in her human form," Vert said as she felt chills up her spine for them to hear an alarm going off.

"Generator is overloading, meltdown in t-minus 5 minutes," the computer said on the loudspeaker.

"Better bounce out of here," Neptune said as they rush out of there for the info center to explode in a big fireball.

"Master, why do any of this?" he wondered as the girl returns to Arfoire to knell before her Mistress.

"The info center is destroyed," the girl said.

"Good work Aqua Heart. We need to maintain an air of distance in this situation. Keep the dark spires safe," Arfoire said.

"Mistress I have seen Green Heart at the Info Center," Aqua said.

"Well, how do you gauge her?" she asked.

"She has gotten stronger but she is no match for me. She is trash just like the other 7 locked up here," Aqua said.

"Well you are a combat genius and my most worthy student," Arfoire said as Aqua smiles at the praise her master gives.

"Thank you master, I will do anything for you," Aqua said as Arfoire goes up to lift Aqua's head to give her a motherly kiss on the forehead.

"I know you well, my dear. Watch over the situation and report back to me," Arfoire said.

"Of course madam," Aqua Heart said to teleport out of there.

"These humans are getting too strong, just like the four human champions that defeated me in the past. I will never let that embarrassment happen ever again," Arfoire said as it returns back to Vert's room.

"Well that was quite interesting. Well next up we need to go save Uni and Noire from the Farsight PMC and we learn more about Gene's past and connections with the Farsight group. Bye for now," Vert said to shut off the camera.

A/N: I must note that the theme of the relationship between humans and Goddesses that was first brought up in Victory will be explored in a more serious and detailed manner in the Lastation arc as well as in the final arc as well.
