Chapter 13: N-No… W-Why…?

"Neptune…"

Tears are still flowing down my cheeks. I couldn't believe what I just saw.

What's going on? I thought to myself. How did I get here? Why am I here? Please, I don't anymore! What happened past when we were defeated by CFW Magic?

"Makoto? Nepgear?" We both slightly turned our heads to see a concerned Sayaka at the door with everyone else. There are faces full of confusion.

"Wh-What's going on?" Hina asked hesitantly.

I didn't hear anything anymore, I instead grabbed the DVD and passed by everyone at the entrance of the A/V room.

"Where do you think you're going?" Taka asked me while he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Please…"

"Huh?" Taka looked confused for a second.

I then shrugged his hand off. "Please leave me alone…"

"Huh? Why are you—"

"I said…'' I turned towards Taka with tears in my eyes. "Leave me alone!"

I then rushed off all the way up to my room with tears following down my eyes, not caring about people yelling at me to wait. When I finally reached my room, I locked my door and lay down in my bed.

"Neptune…" I looked at DVD as I reorganized my memories and that I remembered that:

Flashback…

"Um… are you my… um, sister?" I asked the purple haired girl in the white and purple parka.

"Wha—?! Histy." I saw her turned to the fairy called Histoire. "Who's that hot girl you have with you? A new character?!"

"Huh? What does that mean?" I asked her, tilting my head with confusion.

"Her name is Nepgear and she is your younger sister." Histoire introduced me to her.

"It's nice to meet you. My name is Nepgear." I smiled awkwardly at her. "Um, I hope to be an acquaintance."

"Oh…my younger sister…" It took her a few seconds to realize something. "Say whaaat?"

I then saw her freaking out over this before Histoire spoke up.

"Get a hold of yourself, Neptune." Histoire told her. "She was born from the power of Shares."

"Huh? I get what you mean but not that much…" Neptune said to Histoire.

"With the wishes of the people, your Shares inflated and a new goddess was born." Histoire explained to her.

"Oh! Now I see!" Neptune's face lit up. "Well it's nice to meet you Nepgear. I'm Neptune, your older sister."

She took my hand and dragged me with her.

"Wait, where are you taking me?!" I cried out.

"I can't wait for Iffy and Compa to see you!" Neptune was smiling all the way.

"Wait, who's that?!"

When I met her friends, IF and Compa, they mistaken me for being the older sister but Neptune corrected them. And after a while, we became friends. And when I observed Neptune even more, I started to look up to her. She was strong, brave, and everything I never was.

…

My memories of the time we spent together was getting a little hazy but I remembered when we all went out for a picnic with IF and Compa and Histoire yelled at Neptune for avoiding her CPU duties. And sometimes I remembered helping doing some quests while laughing it off when we got home, but…

"Hey, where are we going, Neptune?"

"We're going to meet the rest of the CPUs." I remembered Neptune saying.

"But, why?" I asked her.

"Because I feel like you're ready to have your first CPU mission." She smiled at me. You remembered ASIC, right?"

I nodded my head while Neptune smiled.

"Well, the four felons are guarding Gamindustri Graveyard. So let's go and beat them!" Neptune then transformed and smiled with confidence. "Are you ready?"

I too transformed and tried to match Neptune's confident smile. "I'm ready!"

But, in the end, we lost to CFW Magic and in turn got captured for who knows how long. So then, why?

…

Why…?

…

I felt my tears running down my cheeks.

…

"Why can't I remember anything after that?" I muttered to myself. "I should remember something but…"

I heard my doorbell ring, I slowly stood up and looked at my door.

Who's that? I thought to myself as I walked over and answered it.

It was Makoto looking really worried and well awkward.

"H-Hey, Makoto." I greeted him with an awkward smile.

"Hey, Nepgear." He greeted me back with the same awkward tone.

We both didn't talk for a while before Makoto spoke up.

"Are you okay, Nepgear?" He asked me.

"Um," I thought for a little bit. I can't tell him about what I remember. He will be really confused.

"Well, I just remembered someone from my past." I told him.

Makoto looked really surprised by this. "Really?! Who?"

"Um, well…" I stood there very silently. "It was my sister."

Makoto looked confused for a minute. "Your sister?"

I nodded my head as confirmation. "Yes, my older sister… She has been captured…"

Then his eyes widened in shock. "Monokuma took your sister away from you?!"

I looked down to the floor. "Y-Yes…"

We both fell silent for a moment before Makoto spoke up again.

"If you need someone to lean on, then you can count on me." Makoto said with determination in his eyes. "So then, don't give up hope! We will get help out there!"

It sounds kinda motivating… I thought to myself as I slowly looked up. I wish I had something like that…

"T-Thank you, Makoto…" I smiled shyly. "I'll try believing in that…"

"No worries, Nepgear." Makoto said as scratches the back of his head.

"Well, um, let's go to sleep for now." I told Makoto. "Goodnight, Makoto."

"Yeah, goodnight Nepgear." He said as I closed the door on him.

When I closed the door, I then realized something…

Wait, can't I just transformed and blasted the wall open? I thought to myself. Let me try that now…

I then closed my eyes, trying to feel the Shares inside me, but…

Nothing… I thought in disappointment. I can feel my Shares but it felt like I couldn't reach it…

I lay down on my bed and looked at the ceiling.

Please, Neptune… I thought to myself. Please be safe…

I then closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Meanwhile…

An older, short purple haired girl looked up to the sky.

"Hey, what are you doing?" A black, twin tailed haired girl looked at her in confusion.

Then the purple haired girl looked back to the girl and said.

"It's nothing, Noire…"

Noire then just sighed. "Seriously Neptune, at least try to stay focused before you get caught!"

Neptune just smiled. "C'mon Noire! You know I'm not like that!"

"Yeah, whatever…" Noire muttered. "It's not like I'm following you just because you're my friend or anything!"

"Yeah, whatever Lonely Heart!" She smiled as took out her katana. "Either way, let's hunt for some food for everyone else…"

Noire then smiled and walked along with Neptune, who looked back.

I hope you're doing okay, Nepgear… Neptune thought. Please be safe…

Back with Nepgear…

When it was morning, both me and Makoto made our way to the dining hall. When we got there, Hina, Sakura, Chihiro, and Taka greeted us. After waiting for a while, Mondo, Junko, and Hifumi came in and greeted us. And finally, Kyoko, Celeste, Toko, Leon, and Hiro were the last to appear. But then, we all noticed something…

"Wait, aren't we still missing some people?" Taka questioned.

"Yeah, Sayaka and Byakuya aren't here yet." Hina confirmed.

They're late? Well, I can understand Byakuya but Sayaka would be late for no reason, right?

Soon enough, Byakuya arrived. "What's going on? Did something happen?"

"Hey man!" Mondo greeted. "Have you seen Sayaka?"

Then Byakuya explained. "Why would I have? I just came straight from my room to here."

"Did she forget about our breakfast meeting?" Hifumi asked.

"I got the sense she always has her stuff together…" Kyoko spoke up.

I felt an uneasiness creeping into my mind. I turn to Makoto who seems to feel the same way. Then we both stood up from our chair. "I-I need to go." Makoto told everyone. "I have to go check on her!"

He then ran out the dining hall while I quickly followed. We both headed to the room with Sayaka's name on and burst in. When we did, we saw that the room was completely destroyed and demolished.

"W-What…?" I muttered to myself.

We both quickly looked around, trying to find any signs of Sayaka until we spotted the bathroom door. "The bathroom. I'd better go take a look." Makoto went inside the bathroom while I followed him as I closed my eyes.

Please don't tell me what I think it is… Please… Please… Ple…ase…!

What we saw in front of us was Sayaka Maizono dead. Our eyes widen in shock and horror with the site. We didn't notice that we're both screaming and didn't stop and then…

We blacked out…

That is all for now! And holy moly that was a lot of stuff I wrote! If you don't know the "Meanwhile…" part was, it's the future of what happens in PurpleDimension. Either way, Please Review and Stay Safe!
