What I've Done.
Chapter 29
By Archaeologist of Humanity.
Yet another chapter, yay!
Let's get her going! ;3 Any ideas for further plots anyone? This is gonna be big ;)
Green Heart had gone back to Leanbox the moment word of the attack on Lowee had reached her's and Black Heart's ears.
This was pure chaos.
Transforming back into her Human form the moment she got back into the Basilicom at Leanbox, Vert found that a lot of things were going on - Even Chika was starting to mobilize a seperate, specialized defense force around the Basilicom while the army of Leanbox (Very strong in number and formation, etc) were geared up for the incoming invasion.
"Where... Did Arfoire get all those soldiers?" Vert growled, looking out at the wave upon wave of soldiers heading her way.
"My guess is that she must have done this while Neptune was away from Planeptune's Basilicom..." A small voice to Vert's left spoke up.
"So, are you saying that Arfoire went underneath our noses for this!?" Vert exclaimed.
The small voice nodded her head. She had been rescued from the Planeptune Basilicom but... But it was hell on Gamindustri. Histoire had never, ever IN HER LIFE seen such carnage and chaos... It was as though Arfoire WANTED to put Gamindustri back to the stone age!
"I see no alternative explanation... She wants to throw us into the dark times we had before you, or even she, was around...I-"
Histoire put a finger to her lip as she tried to think - But she was tired...
So very tired.
She fell onto the desk as all the exhausion caught up with her. Too tired to think or speak, she fell asleep.
Vert looked to Histoire. "Histoire?" She then softly smiled for a moment. 'She's exhausted...' She thought to herself. 'I'll keep her safe Neptune... Don't you worry. We'll figure this whole mess out...Soon enough.'
Meanwhile, with Snow...Things were getting... Interesting to say the least.
Snow slowly knelt down onto her hands and knees in front of where Sky's cot was. Arfoire wasn't really an observant dictator. Snow was focused on the cot and Arfoire was focused on the battles that raged ahead of them.
'I know Neptune's not on the planet right now... I'd better help her kid, otherwise, things could get messy...'
Snow slowly etched over to the cot and over the top, seeing Sky. Sky saw Snow and was about to giggle when Snow put a finger to her lip. Sky took this as a secret so she kept quiet.
Somehow, unlike Arge before her and Nepgear before her - She managed to get Sky out of the cot and (with a little creative thinking) turned and raced away in moments. Her footsteps not really being heard over the explosions.
When they were far enough away, Snow slowed to a halt in a very dense forest and looked at Sky. "You okay?" She managed to get out even though she was exhausted from all the events lately. "She didn't hurt you - Did she?"
Sky shook her head.
Snow furrowed her eyebrows. "You can't think-talk to me anymore?"
Again, Sky shook her head with a sad look on her face.
Snow nodded her head slowly, her white ankle-length hair aiding her for a change. "Figures... I'll have to get something to enable us to talk to one another..." She looked up as the Heavens opened for rain. Snow frowned. "Great..." She looked to Sky who looked uncomfortable. "Hey, we'll be okay. Neptune's gone for awhile... I'll look after you..."
'I hope...' Snow thought in the back of her head. Unsure whether or not she could look after Sky but... It was something, right?
She could help Sky... She just had to believe that she could.
With Rom and Alex (the Owl) things were getting interesting... Very interesting.
Alex and Rom had gone through the portal at the last possible moment and ended up in a place that was... Unfamiliar yet familiar in some kind of odd way... It almost looked... Like Gamindustri...
"Heyyyyyyyyy, I didn't know you could jump dimensions Rommmmmmm..."
Rom felt a giggle betray her as she could see a flick of lilac hair to her right. "Yeah... It's kind of an emergency... Thing's aren't going well. Do you know where the... Wait... What was it called again?"
"Sky Temple!" Alex hooted at Rom. "I told you that, repeatedly, before we left!"
Rom smiled bashfully. "Yeah." She mumbled. "Anyway, Do you know anything about it?"
The lilac haired girl who stood too Rom's left put a finger to her lip. "Hmmmm...I'm not sure... Maybe Histy would know..."
Rom shook her head as Alex gripped a rather tight hold on her shoulder. Not that it was painful... It was, but Rom was a Goddess... Or a CPU Candidate so, did that make her a Goddess? Didn't it make her one in training?
In space, almost three thousand million miles away Neptune was starting to doze off in her chair.
"Oi. Purple Heart. Wake up. You can't fall asleep yet, remember?" Arge went into her inventory and pulled out a small healing drink for Neptune and handed it to her. "Here, this should return your senses to somewhat normal. As for the power levels... I'm not sure."
Neptune shook herself out of her daze and picked up the bottle of drink out of Arge's right hand. "Thanks." Neptune began to drink it as the ship slowed to a halt nearby what seemed to be a planet but it was a planet with mostly water and a touch of grass on it.
Arge walked over to the window of the ship and looked out. "Looks like we're here - wherever, here, is."
Neptune finished the drink - Storing the empty container into her inventory. "Alright. Time to start figuring out a plan."
Arge nodded even though her mind was elsewhere now. "Yeah..." She was thinking about Snow. Stupid girl! She should have been with her during the evacuation!
Neptune looked to Arge as she stood up - A soft yet gentle smile appearing on her features. "Let me guess..." She saw Arge look at her. "You're thinking about your friend, Snow...Aren't you?"
Arge nodded again this time biting her lower lip. "I'm sorry Purple Heart... I'm just..." Arge shook her head and headed out of the room with Neptune following after her slowly.
'Seems like I'm not the only person with a burden...' Neptune thought quietly to herself.
Onboard the bridge, Nepgear was talking to someone with orange hair, blue eyes and glasses and a leather jacket with shorts. He looked interesting but he was talking to Nepgear and Max when Arge and Neptune walked onto the bridge.
This was a nightmare for everyone involved. The only possible person to really benefit would be the enemy side but... Who was really behind this?
In an unknown location in space - onboard a rather huge starship floating in space with what seem to be Blue engines firing Purple out of them to keep it stable in flight was a person.
This person was dressed with a hat that looked like it belonged in a wild west film, a duffel coat and a sword to his right on a belt. He had Sapphire eye in the right and a digital hazel eye in the left. He looked odd... But that was just like him. Odd.
"The plan is proceeding as planned. It's just a shame that Purple Heart got away from us before we could capture her. What do you think?"
Someone else stepped from the shadows who seemed to be this person's second in command, or was he just there as an observer?
"True, but think of it this way Architect - The closer you get to capturing her the closer you get to having everything under your control."
"This is very true Immortal. Can you see to it that Purple Heart's child comes here?"
Immortal nodded his head even though he was unsure of the Architect's true intentions. "I'll be back." He told Architect as he walked away from the window that Architect and himself had been looking out of mere moments previous.
To be Continued in Chapter 29!
Hope you're enjoying this story! ;3
