(Author's Note)

Hey guys, 0n3dgeGaming here, and welcome back to another chapter of the Re;Birth 1 Arc!

Last Time… Bryce went out of commision, this time… we figure out what happened!

Onto Reviews!

To G1 Archangel: While I think I know who you mean, It won't be. I'll save the surprise for next time. As for the first thing, thanks, though I'm ironically writing this when I should be working on my performance task.

Onto the story!


"So… any news?" I asked.

"It doesn't seem to be the case." Said Histoire.

"Great… What the hell was even in that stuff anyways?" I asked.

"Some kind of poison. Luckily, it wasn't enough to kill you, but as it stands now you're currently stuck in a coma."

"Joy… wanna play cards?" I asked.

"I don't have any-"

I pulled out a deck of cards. Coincidentally, they were Neptunia themed.

"...I won't ask."


"..."

"He'll be fine Nomia…" said IF.

"I got it!" yelled Neptune, coming in with a bag if something in her hand.

"This is it! Thanks Nep-Nep!" said Compa, getting a spoonful of the stuff.

Compa moved it over to Bryce, however do to his being in a coma, he wasn't budging.

"Now what?" asked IF.

"Isn't he a picky eater?" asked Neptune.

"He did say that during the meal…" said IF.

Compa had a look of 'My god I just realized something!'

She rushed out of the room, a bit of the stuff with her.

"So how did you guys meet Bryce?" asked Vert.

"I fell on him." said Neptune.

"He met me with those two." said IF.

"...It's complicated." said Nomia.

"How exactly?" asked Vert, who was snuggling with the small girl.

"Different dimension, kinda-big brother." said Nomia.

"What do you mean by that?" asked IF.

"He's hooked with my sister." Nomia said.

"But couldn't that make you…"

"The circumstances of it make me Plutia sister." she said.

"And those circumstances where…?" asked Vert.

"Born from the Sharecite." She said.

"...How exactly…?"

"I got it!" Yelled Comps running up with a plate and some pudding.

"You made pudding! Thanks Compa!" said Neptune, reaching for the plate.

"Nep-Nep no! It's for Bry-Bry!" said Compa.

Vert looked at the pudding.

"You put the medicine inside…"

"I wouldn't really call it medicine…" Nomia said, who had swapped her position with IF.

"Okay Bry-Bry, open up!" said Compa, moving the spoon towards Bryce's mouth.

He didn't open it, but gave no resistance when Compa forced the spoonful in.


"That… that is a weird feeling." I said.

"What?" asked Histoire, looking up at me.

"It's like… I taste something, and I'm not eating." I said. "Speaking of... that is a disgusting taste..."

I felt myself waking up, I turned to Histoire and said "Let's continue where we left off next time."


"Ugh… did someone get the address of the estate that hit me?" I asked, clutching my head as I sat up, a killer headache present.

"Bry-Bry!" Exclaimed Compa.

I felt the impact, however the due fact that I was still getting myself together was something that dulled the pain.

"Isn't there supposed to be a few more impacts?" I asked.

I looked over to a computer, Nomia and Neptune were currently burrowing themselves in the world of BL.

"I think it's time to stop…" said Neptune, as both Nomia and herself were staring at the screen in mild disgust.

"And where is…"

I looked over to find IF and Vert. IF currently being smothered in Vert's… assets.

"What else is new at this point?" I asked Myself.


"So Arfoire copied you?" I asked Vert.

"It was while we were out getting the things to get rid of the poison in your system. And it was more of it being stolen than copied." said Vert.

"I see…"

A sudden beeping fills the room. IF, Vert and I pull out our phones.

"Ooh, Noble just posted something on twitter...:" I said, looking at his post.

"Green Heart's blog updated." said IF.

Vert scanned her phone's screen. "The enemy was spotted heading to Lowee. We should hurry before they get there." Vert says while typing a message on her phone.

"Well than!" I said. "Imma go punch em in the snoz!"

"...Okay then!" said Neptune, clicking the left button over the Delete option for one of Vert's BL games.

"Let's go!"


After a long amount of walking, we reached a clearing. As we look around the clearing, I notice a cloaked figure being blocked by a smaller figure. As we approached the two, the smaller figure notices us and runs towards Vert. As it gets closer, I manage to make out their features. They look like… Wait… Is that a girl wearing a pig mask?! I sigh internally and just put that into the pile of the other crazy things that I've seen or had happen to me since I arrived here. Anyways, the girl threw her arms around Vert when she reaches her.

"Lady Vert! Ran-Ran's scared of the mean old lady!" She cried as Vert rubs her head.

"It's alright, Ran-Ran. I'll protect you from the old lady." She said, causing the cloaked woman to shake in rage.

"Seriously, who the hell is this!?" I asked, pointing at Ran-Ran. "You know what? Never mind..."

"For the love of- will you stop calling me old?! I'll destroy you where you stand!" She shouted, causing me to laugh.

"Y'know, Arfoire, you really need to learn to take a joke." I said, causing her to flinch.

"H-How did you…?" She starts, and I just shake my head.

"Your voice kinda gives you away. Not to mention your reaction to being called an old lady." I explain, and she shakes her head as she… I guess she removed a spell, based on how her look just vanished in smoke quickly and is replaced with her normal appearance.

"I must say, I'm impressed your memory is able to remember my voice and how I react to being called old. I'm also surprised to see that you're still alive. This makes my job easier. I'll defeat you all and take your powers as my own!" She said, I just start laughing.

"Was it something I said?" She asked.

"I just happen to LOVE the fact that you happen to think you can take us. Oh… this'll be fun!" I said, drawing Guardians Glave. "This is also the point where I take my anger out on you for poisoning me."

"I was actually aiming for Neptune, but that didn't really seem to matter now…" Said Arfoire "And you need to learn when you should just die!"

She unleashes a flurry of stabs with her lance. I manage to parry a few of them, but most manage to connect and injure me, causing me to grunt in pain.

"Damn, still recovering…" I said to myself, I snap my fingers, activating my healing ability.

"Now then…" I begin, however I see something next to Arfoire.

Neptune, who had activated HDD, rushed Arfoire. I ran past them and grab the thing I found.

"What's that Bryce?" Asked IF.

"Remember Break Limit?" I asked.

"Yeah…"

I crack my neck, rushing back into the fight with the others.

"ACCESS!" I activate HDD, transforming into Violet Heart. I rush Arfoire along with Neptune.

Arfoire parries our attacks and swings at us, forcing us back.

"Alright then… Showtime!" I said, my eyes blinking Cyan.

"BREAK LIMIT!" I exclaimed, letting out a shockwave of energy.

"What the hell is this?!" She asked, but no one responds to her.

As my armour forms around me, I rush Arfoire.

"CHAIN ATTACK!" I exclaimed, Splitting into three.

Each copy of me slashed Arfoire over and over. I slide back before looking up.

"FINISHING TOUCH!" I finish, reforming back into one. My sword's beam multiplies by three, as I swing my blade at Arfoire.

She screams in pain as she collapses to her knees. I point my sword at her as she attempts to stand. "Now, give Vert her powers back, and tell me what Today is!." I yell, then frown when she starts laughing.

"What, do you really think you have won? The real battle is just about to start! After all, I still have her power!" Arfoire said as she pulled out a shining green gem. Before we can do anything, however, she is engulfed by a pillar of light, and when it fades, Green Heart is in her place.

"I'm never going to know what today is…" I muttered as I prepare to attack again. The rest of the party forms up behind me.

"Heh, it's time for you to feel my wrath thanks to my new power! Sylhet Spear!" She shouted, summoning a strange glyph in the air. The glyph then shoots out a rather large spear that hits several of us, then explodes, sending us flying in different directions. I am sent flying into the wall, my HDD deactivating, and I fall to the ground. I hear the others scream in pain, and as I look up, I see Neptune also on the ground, her HDD deactivated. I then notice everyone else collapsed on the ground, injured.

"Today… is a b*tch…" I said, standing, using the wall I impacted into as support.

Arfoire looks at me in amusement.

"You are a tough guy aren't you? Let's fix that." She said, twirling her weapon in her hands.

"I actually have no tolerance to pain… just give me like… 3 minutes…" I said, holding a finger up in a 'Wait a sec' sign.

"Then allow me to finish you off first!" Shouted Arfoire, rushing me.

I bring up my sword to block the attack, however I am launched further away thanks to the force Arfoire put behind the attack.

"Alright… look. I haven't said this to anyone in like… a long time…" I begin. However and shut up my Arfoire smacking me away with her spear.

"But… If you take another god damn step…" I get out before I'm sent flying into another wall. The item I had picked up earlier falling out of my front pocket.

I pick it up, and activated HDD and Break Limit.

"I swear you're going to have a bad time…" I finish, catching my breath.

"What the hell are you going to be able to do against me?" Asked Arfoire.

"I'll be completely honest, I don't even know if this is going to work." I said, before crushing the newly acquired SD card into my hand. "START!"

A surge of energy bursts out from my hands, my eyes glowing a red colour.

A mechanized voice rings out, letting my new form be known.

"BREAK LIMIT: APL VARIANT STATUS; ACTIVE"

"So then…" I begin, my new form letting steam rise off my now metal covered arm. (Which one is covered by this new gauntlet? I'll let Acallaris tell me seeing as I'm too lazy to find which arm Tamazaki has a gauntlet on.) "Shall we dance?"


Sorry about the cliff hanger, I need to get this chapter out.

Anyways, now that school is FINALLY done, I can start focusing on my stories a bit more.

So until next time…

DFTBA
