The next day, I was well rested. Well, I shouldn't say that entirely. The extra weight on my chest was bothersome, but Rei helped me get to sleep, and boy did I. Sixteen days in this world, and this was the second time I ever felt that good. That was until the bombshell at breakfast.

"We are going out" Neptune said as soon as I got into my chair "So, you have to babysit our 'lil sisters. Its girls only so..."

"But I am a girl!" That was the wrong thing to say Joshua.

"You were a guy until yesterday" Noire yawned "And we're not going through that crap again"

"We just need some time to relax" Blanc said "We'll be back, of course"

"And what are Rom and Ram supposed to do?" I asked "Because I'm almost one hundred percent positive you don't want them to learn the Voice"

"You can take them to a place in the city, can you?" Vert said "You know Leanbox has a good tourist industry"

"I'm supposed to teach Nepgear and Uni, remember?" I said.

"So you can't go anyway!" Neptune was triumphant.

"You'll have to take Peashy as well" Ultra Rei said.

"Weren't you supposed to be on guard?" I asked.

"Yeah, but II'm sleapppy" Plutia said "And they are all having fun!"

"We have a way to make contact with the soldiers, if there is a problem" Ultra Rei said.

"We are only going to be gone for a few hours" Vert replied "And I'm leaving the Oracle of Leanbox, Chika Hakozaki, here to assist you" Chika looked at me like I was the enemy, yeah right I'm having her assist me. Assist me my ass.

"Where are they anyway?" I didn't see them.

"Out in the courtyard, waiting for you" Noire said.

I face palmed.

"Why didn't you say that before?" I was severely annoyed.

"Because we wanted you to fix yourself" Neptune said "You're not dressed appropriately"

I looked at myself, and sure enough, I was still in my bed clothes. I had to change in the dark, so as to not see myself, and cause any unnecessary embarrassment. And I forgot to change this morning. I hate being a girl.

"That was mean, Neptune" Noire said, her face reddening. They all knew I tried, and failed...and they all knew that I would have to fix myself eventually. There was just two problems with that. I was a guy in spirit (Rei Ryghts showed me I was still a guy in my dream. I can't explain it exactly, but since we're sharing a body, only physically is there a change. And I'm supposed to believe emotions are physical. Physical my ass), which means I would have to see Rei's body naked, for all intents and purposes. No perversion intended. The second problem was that I have no idea how to properly dress myself as a girl. No joke. I had never played those stupid Girl Dress up games, and I had never seen a girl dress herself. And that is why I am a loser.

"Way to embarrass me first thing in the morning" I couldn't even be sarcastic properly, because of Rei's voice. Damn it.

"Well I'm certainly not going to dress you" Noire said.

"Yeah, I'll pass, as well" Neptune smiled.

"You are on your own, Joshua" Vert said "And Blanc's a little girl, she can't see your endowments without being jealous"

"The hell you get off saying that crap" Blanc had the red eye...not even kidding. I better not seriously piss her off.

"I'm just saying, you can't handle the truth" Vert bounced her breasts...bounced her breasts... WHY?

"Say one more thing thunder tits and I'll kill you" the red eye became more red, and her teeth became sharper? What is going on here?

"Now now girls, no need to fight" Noire tried the diplomatic approach.

"At least I have some" Vert couldn't help it.

"That's it" Blanc transformed "Time to die, bitch" White Heart said.

"Aww, can I transform tooo?"Plutia looked happy.

Blanc untransformed

"We're good" she said

"Ye-yeah, no need to rush" Vert said "I apologize, Blanc"

"I a-accept it Vert" Blanc looked forced.

"I tried to stop you" Noire said.

"Way to almost sick her on us" Neptune inputted.

"I guess I'll help you Joshua" Ultra Rei said. And she took me by the hand, and led me to my room.

I finally was in my old clothes (I had an extra pair in my inventory) and I successfully stopped myself from looking, even though I really wanted to (I'm not perverted, I promise). Ultra Rei was very good about it, and she even went as far as to say that my body and her's were exactly the same. I found that depressing.

The others had left, just as I was able to go into the courtyard. I didn't even ask them where they were going. Rom, Ram, and Peashy were playing tag, and passed me as I entered.

"Good morning Joshua" Rom stopped briefly.

"Good morning to you too" I said, and again, since I became a girl, it was Rei's voice.

"You're late, ya'know" Ram didn't even stop.

"Hi Mommy" Peashy chased them both.

I looked across the courtyard and Nepgear and Uni were looking at a phone-like device. It was her N-Gear.

"What took you so long" Uni said as I approached.

"I had to find out how to change" I said.

"I told you, Nepgear, he is a pervert"

"Say that again" Rei popped in control.

"I'm sorry" Uni amended.

"Good Morning Joshua" Nepgear said, smilingly. I regained my control.

"Well I was going to train you" I told them.

"We know, our sisters went out" Uni said.

"I know, we could go into Leanbox. I hear they have good tour-" I interrupted Nepgear.

"No thank you. Vert already offered"

"Oh, ah he he" Nepgear was a little embarrassed.

"So what are we going to do?" Uni asked.

"I don't know yet" I said.

"Ice cream!" Peashy yelled, coming my way.

"Yeah, can we? Huh, please?" Ram followed.

"Ice cream, Ice cream" Rom was last.

"I guess we're going into the city" I said.

Nepgear perked up, and Uni was thoughtful...why?

"When are we going?" Uni asked.

"Meet in front of the Bascilicom in five minutes" I said, and just like that, they all ran. Then I remembered I didn't know where the front of this place was. I cursed my own stupidity.

It took me ten minutes to find the front, which Uni was quick to point out.

"Yeah I know, I messed up" I said, but it sounded cute, as it was Rei's voice. I sighed.

"So, um, where's the Ice Cream vendor?" I asked

"I thought you would ask Chika?" Nepgear said. Yeah right, she's still pissed off about the whole bath incident.

"Huuuh, You're lucky we know where it is" Uni said "Follow me"

We followed her to the Ice cream vendor, or I should say her and Nepgear, because she got lost half way through. She was real discreet about it with Nepgear, and I pretended not to have noticed, which made her relax again. I did notice a man following us, an older man with a Grey beard...really? I know he wasn't a Grey Beard, and his beard wasn't that long edge wise, but he just screamed Skyrim. Was he a dragon? And I thought only Alduin had that power.

The girls had left me with some money, and I used a little to buy the ice cream. The little ones were the most happy about it, but I noticed Uni try to hide a little gleeful smile herself.

We went a little ways, and I allowed them to window shop, mostly to position myself to where I can see the old man. He was still following us, and not really trying to hide it. I'm surprised the candidates and Peashy didn't notice. When I looked to see them again, Uni was whispering to the other girls. I knew something was up then, between them and the old man. But which should I pursue?

"The candidates know the city, and the land" Rei said "The old man is more dangerous"

I looked suddenly, and the candidates were gone! Uni must have planned this, damn it.

I searched through the crowds, and started running through the streets. Where were they? Oh the others are going to kill me!

All the while in my search, the one constant that I noticed was the old man. I would have to confront him later.

"You should do it now, Joshua" Rei said.

Damn it.

I went back to the ice cream vendor. No cigar...I doubled back to the Bascilicom, not there either. Through the streets once again, I tried to find the CPU candidates and Peashy. Nothing.

"They already left, or did you forget we could fly" Rei told me "That old man is following you! Not them"

I tried to ignore her, tried to find them, with Miraak and his Cultists still around, I knew this was a bad Idea.

"Joshua, Listen to me!" Rei said out loud. I covered my mouth as people looked at me funny.

"You are very peculiar, challenger" said a voice in the language of the Dov. And I know that voice.

"Ambition-Overlord-Cruelty, Alduin's second in command" I responded in the same manner.

"You know of me. Then this will be easier than I expected" Paarthurnax replied.

"Tell me Old One, did you come here to kill me?" I asked, ready to go HDD.

"You very well know I did not. I had come here to give you some assistance and to tell you that Alduin will soon return to this world. The Grey Beards were put in danger by Snow-Hunter-Wing, who seeks to kill me on Alduin's command" Paarthurnax said.

"Odahviing" I repeated "They say he's invincible, and only Alduin is capable of defeating him"

"He took over, after I betrayed Alduin" Paarthurnax affirmed.

"So Snow-Hunter-Wing is coming here?" I asked.

"He already is, because Alduin gave him power over Movement"

"That is his teleport power, isn't it?" I asked.

"It is" Paarthurnax nodded "We both can go anywhere but Sovngarde"

"And that is the only way to truly kill him" I said.

"You really mean to do it, don't you?" he asked.

"Yes I do" I said "That is why I'm the Challenger"

"Then we must first defeat Snow-Hunter-Wing. Hurry Challenger! He is coming this way"

"Hold on then" I said, and grabbed him by the waist. I went HDD and blasted out of Leanbox. Once we were out of the city, I let Paarthurnax go, and he turned into his true form before flying with me.

"Where are the candidates?" I yelled.

"Your CPU's left you right before I stopped you" he replied "They headed in this direction" Paarthurnax indicated the direction we were heading.

ROAR! Odahviing was catching up. ONE THEY FEAR was blazing.

"Prepare yourself, Challenger!" Paarthurnax declared "A very great battle is about to take place!"

Odahviing 'SHOUTED' fire. It was huge.

I turned and repelled it with Ice Breath. Odahviing responded with more fire, the largest I'd ever seen. Paarthurnax dove right to him, and kicked him to the water. He recovered and 'shouted' more fire, as he flew towards Paarthurnax. I blasted to him, and kicked him in the side. He tried to bite me, and 'shouted' fire.

"AHHHGH" I screamed like a girl (I was a girl), and fell to the water below.

"No Challenger!" Paarthurnax roared and kicked Odahviing into the ocean.

I blasted out of the water and screamed for miles. I was pissed, this was not how this day was supposed to go! Power surged within me, and I'm sure they could have heard me on the mainland.

"YOU WANT A BATTLE, YOU GOT IT" I 'shouted' an Ice storm and the sky became all cold; snow was coming down in waves, and the area around us froze instantly.

ROARRR! Odahviing flung out of the ocean and charged us. He 'shouted' fire, and the snow around the blast became rain.

I bursted into him and knocked him a hundred feet or so. I summoned my staff. He recovered and flew to me, and was stopped by Paarthurnax. They spiraled out of control as one fought the other for supremacy. I concentrated on trying to hit Odahviing, but kept missing because Paarthurnax got in the way. I wasn't going to hit an ally.

Finally they separated and Odahviing 'shouted' Clear the Skies. Paarthurnax bit into his shoulder, and Odahviing kicked his left wing. As Paarthurnax fell, I flew to Odahviing and 'shouted' Ice Breath. He grabbed at my staff and it disappeared. He kicked me, as Paarthurnax dove into him.

ROARRR! He flew around Paarthurnax, dodging his 'flame breath', and 'shouted' fire.

I was deeply annoyed. This was Alduin's new second, and both Paarthurnax and myself were having issues with beating him. Rei's mania was overwhelming me, and being a girl was disorienting my flight. I really have to get used to this! I shook myself, and remembered when I was beating Alduin myself. In Planeptune:

Alduin scowled.

"You will die!" he yelled.

SLASH, SWIPE, CLASH, TING!

"You know dragon, I don't know what's more distracting? These women, or your swordsmanship" I said.

"You only stand a chance now, because of that sow! I will send you to Sovngarde" Alduin 'shouted' Unrelenting Force.

"And it is my chance Dragon! You destroyed my home, murdered my family, threatened my world!"

"You are breaking, challenger. Even if you became immortal, using her, I am the first dragon! I will succeed!"

"Ha ha ha ha!" I laughed "He he ha ha ha ha" I laughed a cold, mirthless laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha ha" I laughed and laughed and laughed "He he hah ha ha ha hah ah hah ha ha" They both looked at me, as the world grew dark by the power I had, the power vested in me as the First Console Patron Unit. Power swelled up in me so much, that I clutched my chest, feeling the heartbeat, as my breasts rose up and down with my laughter. It hurt, like it was ready to be released, like it was ready to pour out of me.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA" I laughed and laughed and laughed. The world was dark now, just like it was in Planeptune. I changed, which was something I was seeing as if detached. My left eye became covered with a scouter-like object that showed a screen:

REI RYGHTS NEXT GENERATION FORM OS

BOOT PROCESS COMPLETE

WING UPGRADE INSTALLED

BLADE SHIELD OPERATION COMPLETE

HARD DRIVE DIVINITY FORM 2 READY

"Finally I can feel it again" Rei said, and my male voice was mixed with hers, though our body remained female "The power I held before Alduin showed up. As the world grew dark, and my monsters appeared-" Monsters were truly appearing in mid-air, and floating, seemingly without wings.

"-This is the power of a true CPU. The First CPU! My power. LAUGH WITH ME. Ha ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha ha" It was her voice only now, and I flexed my hand, summoning my staff, she flexed her arm, we were synced and the battle had just begun.
