Chapter 29:
Aah… good winds, a warm sun signaling spring, and a beautiful greenish scenery that extends over the horizon. There are even mountains in the background that fits well with the blueish sky. And if I look back, a blue-esque, city of Planeptune is at hand. One would appreciate simple things like this. A simple country side is good.
"I would… but…" looking at the group of girls in front of me, I'm surprised that the tension hasn't blown up the world yet.
Apparently, for obvious reasons, Neptune openly told them that I can beat any douche that comes in my way. Of course, I am a passerby not a fighter. But instead, the girls, except for Plutie, considered it as an opportunity to "test" me. There is never a dull moment when you're with Neptune, especially when you're her fiancée.
Of course we left Mini-Histy back that Planeptune tower. It would be disastrous if the infants woke up and cry. I also left some porridge and some fresh warm milk if ever they wake up.
"*Sigh*…I'll treat this as a workout to remove my extra weight that Neptune noticed" in all honesty, I didn't know that I was gaining weight in the first place.
"So… are you ready to fight or what?"
"You'll regret that in no time at all, Noire! Jared can beat you with a twig!" Neptune, stop. Please.
"Oooh! He'll smack the big bad Noire!" Plutie, stop. Please.
"…I expect that to happen" Blanc…
"Isn't the cocky ones always get to eat their own medicine" Vert...
"What does that mean!? I'm not going to lose when I don't hold back!"
"…That's what we both said"
"And we lost graciously…" Blanc and Vert added.
"That's because… well… um…"
"So Noire is going to lose first huh? Not like I expect anything from her"
"Um… Don't worry Noire, even if you lose at least you win at life, as they say…" what the hell kind of comfort are you giving her Nepgear?
"Yay, life!" Plutie clapped her hands.
"Sometimes Nepgear says the most insulting things!" Neptune, stay quiet. Please. Now.
"…I didn't mean that as an insult though"
"Okay, okay. Stop, for two seconds. Please. Why, in the name of fair and square, am I fighting again?"
"Because you're strong, don't let me down lover boy!" Neptune… when we get back, I'm going to… *Sigh*…
"Mhm! I want to see Noire lose"
"Don't cut me off the match early on!"
"…They left me out again, huh?" just how deep of a friendship do they have anyway?
"Anyway, are you ready to fight or what?" Noire shouted.
"No" although saying that doesn't mean anything now.
"…Then when?" Blanc asked.
"Never"
"That won't do. If you don't want to fight, then we won't acknowledge your marriage with Neptune" Vert said. Are you seriously using that under handed tactic?
"Isn't it because you want to stop me from being Nepgear's brother-in-law?"
"O-oh right… I'll be his in-law once Sis gets married…"
"You'll be really lucky to have him as your brother-in-law, Nep Jr!"
"How lucky… I want to be Neppy Jr.'s sister-in-law too!"
"…I don't think that works like that" Nepgear said.
"Well, I also want to be Nepgear's older sister too. But not as an in-law"
"Vert, please stop your attempts to steal Nepgear" you do know that you can't
"Hmhmhm~ She's already mine…"
"V-Vert, please…! I already have a big sister!"
"Look, are we here to play around or test him out?" Noire voiced out her concern.
"…Why don't we start first. They won't get the message if there's no one to make the first step" Blanc suggested. I can hear the eagerness from her. I'm really going to fight aren't I?
Without a second too soon, Noire and Blanc glowed brightly, until they are a white silhouette. Their forms change dramatically as the light receded.
Blanc's HDD form remains mainly the same as the other one. The only main difference is that it reflects her color scheme from pale blue to red. Her attire has shiny red material on the top, segments, and lining. The fingers of her gloves are black. She has multiple red box-like pieces on her chest and neck and her lower region, covering her groin, is completely red colored. And the bottom of her boots resembles sandals with a red coloring and is black on bottom.
Noire's HDD form is somewhat different than the other one. While her bangs remain the same, her hair is now worn in very long pigtails at the top of her head with metal gray and black pieces, most likely to match her normal hairstyle. She wears a gray bathing suit piece with multiple black marks and lining and tiny red and green glow spots. Her breast are more revealed then previous but with thin black straps connecting to her neck piece. The black gloves have many gray marks and a metal device around both wrists. The leg/boot pieces are tall and gray, with big circled cuff pieces at the ankle, and big circle pieces with smaller red circles. The boots have a pointed toe.
" 'Look, if you're guys aren't going to fight. Then we will' "
"Noire, take tip, don't overwork yourself"
"That's right…! You're always taking things so seriously…" Plutie added her testimony.
"I always told the other Noire not to work her butt off. And look where she is now…"
"A popular goddess" I added.
"…Lo-… Yeah, very popular…" you're planning something under that monotone of yours.
" 'Hey, big tits. Get transforming already so we can actually start this!' "
"It seems I can't really say no to this now…" Vert glowed…
Vert's HDD appearance also changes due to being in another dimension. Her hair remains the same, but seems to have lengthened somewhat and is much spikier now than before. She wears a bathing suit black piece with her arms fully covered, as are her legs. Her entire front is exposed, except for her lower region, and the exact center of her breast. Around each wrist is a glowing green ring segment, while at her neck, hips, feet, and on top of the glove is a glowing green circle.
" 'After all, a woman has to keep up appearances' " she lightly jiggle her racks.
" 'This is no good. C'mon Nepgear, you transform too' "
"Should I really participate in this? I don't think fighting him will prove anything though"
"C'mon Nep. Jr! You'll get to know you're future brother-in-law better!"
"Well…"
"How about this, if you fight him, you'll get to go on a date with me!" what the hell kind of manipulation are you doing, woman?
"D-Date!?" and she's taking it in full?
"Mhm! Just the two of us!"
"A date with Sis…" don't think about it, and don't blush over it!
"Alright!" Nepgear glows…
Nepgear's hair becomes pink with a different hair clip that is white and blue to replace the D-pad hair clip. Her eyes become dodger blue in color and wears a white skintight bodysuit with light purple designs and light purple N's on the backhand part of her gloves along with matching thigh high boots.
"You hardly change…"
" 'I do get that a lot' "
"Yeah, but that's my li'l Sis' charm! It's comforting around her"
" 'Thanks for that, Sis!' "
"Hey, hey… can I transform too? I feel so jealous about you guys transforming" Plutie asked, as if she wants to eat the same candy as everyone else in her class.
" 'I don't know about you transforming but…' "
" 'Yeah, I would feel sorry for him' " Noire and Blanc said.
" 'B-but she'll transform right after this though' " Nepgear said nervously.
" 'What's the harm? If Neptune claims him to be as it is then he would at least take care of her just fine' "
"Hey! Don't whisper behind our backs!" Neptune said.
"Neppy! I want to transform too!"
"W-well I wouldn't really recommend it but…" Neptune looks at me with nervousness.
"Jared you love me, right?"
"No questions asked" and why are you asking now?
"Uuuh… Getting a straight answer, I don't know if you can take it…"
"Take what?" a question mark floats above my head.
" '…Hmhmmm~ Like this my dear Neppy?' "
"Neeepuuu! She's s here! She's here!" Neptune panics.
"…" I look at the new face in town.
Plutie had just transformed. Her hair becomes a brighter, dark purple color and lengthens somewhat as it's pulled out of its braid. Her bangs remain the same, though longer and tend to cover her eyes easily. Her eyes seem to be the same shade of pink but are much more squinted. She wears a black HDD outfit with pink accessories. Consisting of a tank top like bustier piece with very thin straps and button-like pieces with multiple holes in the center, a neck piece with a glowing line and pink line below it, small straps connecting to her bikini bottom piece, almost shoulder length gloves with multiple pink pieces, and long boot like parts connecting to the outfit by the outer piece. She also has on pink and black thin earrings.
Other than her appearance I feel a certain maliciousness emanating from her. If I were some sort of system that can rate her danger level, she'd be a level 7 or 9 danger. It's like her presence demands everyone to kiss her feet and become human carpets.
" 'Hmhm~… Now that I got a good look at you, you're really cute…' " the woman, with a sadistic smile came to me and feels my cheek.
"Nepu! She's taking my Jared away from me!"
" 'Nothing we can do about that' " Noire silently replies.
" 'Since you're cute, I want you to become my pet…' "
"No" I firmly answer.
" '…' "
" '…' "
" '…' "
" '…' "
"…"
" '…' "
What's with the silence? Was it an unspoken rule to not say 'no' to this woman?
" 'Hmhmhm~ You've got balls to say no to me…!' "
"Look, Plutie…"
" 'Plutie…? Why would you call me that as if I'm your equal?' " another sadistic smile.
" 'You will call me Madam Goddess, boy!' " she raised her hand and brings it down. While a katana, with segments that then extends like a whip, appears on her hand and falls down from above. I lean my body to the left avoiding such an attack.
*BAM!*
"Right, right. Madam Goddess…*Sigh*… This is really not a good start of a beautiful friendship" oh well, let it be what must be.
"…" jumping back a few paces away, I take an unorthodox stance and face the 5 goddesses.
"…Without much ado… Let's party!"
