Leanbox Basilicom-
"Um, excuse me but are you the Oracle of Leanbox?" a girl with purple hair asked, walking in with a girl with pink hair, brown hair, and red hair.
"Yes, that'll be me, I'm Chika," a woman in a black dress with green on it with green hair answered.
"Hi, I'm Nepgear, Planeptune's CPU Candidate. I was wondering if we could get some help. You see we want to save the CPUs and to do this we need the help of the candidate. Could you tell us where she is? I know she's shy," Nepgear said, with a weak smile.
"Oh, I could, but first I am in need of some assistance. There is a monster that has been terrorising a nearby field," Chika said.
"I wouldn't trust her if I were you," a boy said from atop the stairs they were next to. He had black hair with a couple of spikes of blonde mixed in. He had a leather jacket over a green shirt and black jeans, a trident was on his back.
"And you are?" the brown haired girl asked.
"The name's Damion, and there is no shy CPU Candidate," he said jumping down.
"Oh, how do you know?" the red haired girl asked.
"Easy, I'm the CPU Candidate of Leanbox. You can call me Green Brother."
Chapter One: Green Brother?
"Um, do you have a few screws loose or something?" the brunette asked.
"No, my sister is Vert. Isn't that right Chika?" he asked, looking at her.
"Um, no. You aren't Vert's brother," she said.
"Wow, you were right," another girl with red hair said, walking down the stairs. "She is a fake, sorry for doubting you Damion."
"Eh, it's alright Cave. Now then, who might your companions be, CPU Candidate of Planeptune?"
"You can call me IF," the brunette said.
"I'm Compa," the pink girl informed him.
"I'm Red, and I'm trying to collect all the wifies I can," the red haired one explained.
"You remind me of a NepTuber I watch. I think his name is Lost Nep, Nep Pause, something to the effect of that. Now then, who's the chick behind your group?"
"Huh?" Nepgear asked, turning to see a girl in a black skirt with black hair. "Uni!?"
"Oh, hi Nepgear, I didn't know that you would be here," Uni said.
"Well, now we just need one more introduction. Who are you fake Chika?" Damion asked,
looking at her.
"W-what do you mean, I just d-didn't recognize you from that angle," "Chika" said.
"Yeah no, Chika always checks on me to make sure I am doing good, but you haven't done that once. Now tell me, who are you and where is Chika?!" he asked, raising his voice.
"Damn it, my disguise was perfect," the girl said in a different voice. She then took a disguise off revealing a girl with grey skin and green hair.
"Of course it's Underling," IF said.
"Hey, stop calling me that you broads!" Underling yelled. She then dashed out.
"After her!" Damion yelled.
"She's too fast," Red said.
"Not for me, Cave watch the Basilicom for me," Damion yelled, running out.
"Um, what do we do?" Nepgear asked.
"I'll have him send me his location and send you to help him," Cave said.
"So, is he really a CPU candidate?" Uni asked.
"Indeed, after Vert left Chika, myself, and another person are the only ones who he has. No one else knows about him," Cave informed everyone.
"Why?" IF asked.
Damion-
Come on. The only reason I am waiting is because Cave threatened me and I do not want to piss her off. Damion thought to himself, sitting outside a cave.
"Damion," he heard Nepgear call.
"Up here," he said, getting their attention. "What took you so long?"
"Hey, stop complaining," Uni huffed.
"Sorry, but after having lost Vert and then one of the only three people who know of my
existence, you can't exactly blame me for being eager to find them and get them back," I snapped.
"Let's not fight please," Nepgear begged.
"Your right, what matters is getting Chika back, then we can discuss what you wanted coming here," I agreed.
We walked into the cave and a giant dogoo blocked our path. I destroyed it with a single jab of my trident. We continued down the path coming across a lake of lava with two cages.
"Chika!" Nepgear and I said in unison, both running up to her.
"D-Damion? I-I can't go on, I see the light," she dramatically said, coughing.
"You can't die yet," Nepgear said.
"She isn't, she's just being dramatic," I sighed.
"Hey!" Chika said, breaking character. "I'm seriously dying in here," she added, with more fake coughs.
"Yeah, I don't believe that," IF said.
"Chika, I can tell that you are just barely dehydrated because of my ability to see people's stats," I said. "Now stand back," I told everyone, drawing my knife. "HL Slice!" I said, cutting the bars.
"Thank yo-oof," Chika said, as I gave her a hug.
"I was so scared that I was going to lose you too," I said.
"I'm sorry, she jumped me while I was going to get something. I'm safe," she said, patting my head.
"Crap, how did you get here so fast?!" Underling asked.
"That would be me, I will trust you to keep Chika safe while I take care of her," I said.
"I'll help too," Nepgear said, transforming.
"I won't let you down," Uni added, following suit.
"Let's get crazy," I said, transforming.
The blonde in my hair went green. I had a black and red jacket with a torn left sleeve and the right going down to my elbow with a dark green shirt that was open at the top. On my chest was a green symbol. In addition to my trident, chains floated around me with my two mechanical green wings behind me.
"Why so serious?" I asked, with a crazy grin.
"What's up with him?" Underling asked.
"We don't know!" Uni shouted.
"Oh, let's just get on with the show," I said, laughing like a madman. "Typhoon Trident!" I said,
using my trident to summon a giant wave engulfing Underling. "Ooo, I think I got a big one, nope, just a wimp," I said looking at her knocked down.
"Well, time to use this," she said, throwing a knife at the other cage.
"No, the Mascot!" Nepgear said, running to intersect the blade. "W-what?" She asked as I appeared in front of her.
"Now, wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me to let a girl such as yourself get hit now would it?" I asked. "Oh, she ran away," I added, turning around. "Well then, ladies?"
"Um, you can change back," Uni said.
"Aw, but where's the fun in that?"
"D-Damion, can you please change back?" Nepgear asked.
"Well, since you asked nicely and you're a very pretty girl I guess I should," I said, with a bow changing back.
"What was that?" Uni asked, back in her normal form.
"That was the reason I don't like transforming. I become slightly insane but also a gentleman. The first time I changed I went around flirting with every girl I came across, that's how I met 5pb," I explained.
"Who's 5pb?" Nepgear asked.
"The third person except for my sister who knows me. She's also my best friend and an amazing music artist," I said. "This fake Chika has been running Leanbox into the ground the last few days, and there we go!" I said, picking the lock on the Mascot's cage.
"Took you long enough," the Mascot said.
"Hey, I didn't want to use an ability and accidentally damage you. Be grateful that I was kind enough to let you out," I said.
"Hey, you don't have to be rude," Uni said.
"If it was up to me we wouldn't be in this mess. I tried to convince Vert that I needed to go. I could use HDD before Nepgear over there," I said. "Even if you couldn't transform, the only reason they didn't let us go is because they thought that they were keeping us safe, but they actually put us in more danger."
"How?" Uni asked, sitting down as Nepgear and the Mascot talked.
"Easy, if we had just taken them out three years ago we wouldn't have to deal with three years of us running a Nation and having to do missions, and for me I had to not reveal my identity and just be a normal adventurer. Sorry I act as if I was the only one who had it bad," I said.
"Hey, it's alright, just don't say you didn't have it easy compared to me," Uni said, lightly jabbing me.
"Alright!" Nepgear said. "The Mascot agreed to help us!"
"Perfect, now let's go and see what Chika needs and then go get our sisters," I said.
"Oh yeah! You said something about seeing someone's stats, what do you mean?" Nepgear asked.
"Well, I was out in the woods and was just meditating and eventually I could sense everything in the area around me, and if I focused on their energies I could notice things about them. I can tell how lively they are, if they are sick, any weird powers, and if I am familiar with a person I can tell when they are nearby or not," I explained.
"Why were you in the woods?" Uni asked.
"The first year without Vert was hard on me. I flew out of the Basilicom and was in the woods. I only had a knife on me. That is why I have some knife skills, I used it to keep me alive while living in the woods for a year."
"Oh my goodness. I had no clue you had it so hard," Nepgear said.
"Eh, I'm good now. Especially now that I have a chance to get her back."
"Good, you aren't getting gloomy," Uni said, smiling.
"Uni, do you perhaps like me?" I asked, jokingly.
"W-what? N-no, of course not," she said, blushing. "Not like that," she added, whispering.
"Ha, thanks for the reaction. I needed that," I said, laughing.
"Sh-shut up," Uni stammered.
"Alright, race you two to the Basilicom," I said, taking off.
"Damion!? Wait!" Nepgear and Uni yelled.
I ran all the way to the Basilicom and stopped when I saw everyone.
"Damion, where's Gear?" IF asked.
"There was a big explosion, only I survived," I said, trying not to show any emotion.
"Don't do that," Cave said, smacking me upside the head.
"Sorry," I said, laughing. "They should be here any minute. We got the Mascot and no one was hurt seriously," I said.
"Um, your gut says otherwise," 5pb said, walking out from behind Chika.
"Huh, what do you mean?" I asked, looking down at my stomach to see my shirt was wet. I touched it with my hand and pulled away to see blood on it. "Oh, I see your point," I said, looking at her before falling into darkness.
Uni-
"Ugh! I'm going to kill him," I growled as we approached the Basilicom.
"Uni, please don't. We still need his help," Nepgear said, right behind me.
"Fine, but not because you asked," I added.
We walked in to see everyone but Chika, Compa, and Damion there. We looked around trying to see them.
"Damion lost a lot of blood so Compa is patching him up, Chika is staying by his side," IF said.
"Oh my goodness, I hope he's ok," Nepgear said.
"He'll be fine, Compa guaranteed it," Red said.
"Um, who's the blue girl?" I asked, pointing to the scantily clad girl with blue hair.
"Oh, um, hi," she said. "I-I'm 5pb, n-nice to meet you," she added, hiding behind Cave.
"Unless she's performing she is very shy," Cave said.
"Um, no offence but that's weird," I said.
"Damion's awake, he wants to talk with GeGe and Uni," Compa said, walking in. "He also said to have Cave and 5pb go in."
"Let's go," I said, walking to the room Compa just walked out of. I stopped and knocked.
"You can come in," Damion said.
"So, you ran back just to collapse?" I asked, walking in.
"Eh, better than collapsing in the woods," he said, sitting up in the bed with no shirt on and Chika holding his hand.
"Oh my goodness, I didn't know you weren't dressed," Nepgear said.
"Nah, I normally don't have a shirt on when I walk around a Basilicom so just expect me to be shirtless, however the question is do I have pants on?" Damion asked. I immediately felt my face get red at the thought as a rubber band then flew at his forehead.
"Bad Damion," Cave said, holding her hands up.
"Come on, I was just stabbed a little. I'm fine," he said.
"No, you aren't," Chika said, her voice strained and eyes red. "You almost died, I-I can't lose you. Not after Vert."
"Hey, I'm not going to die, it'll take a lot more than just a knife to the gut to kill me," he said.
"Are you sure you're fine Damion?" 5pb asked.
"Yes, now the thing I wanted to talk about is me joining Nepgear and Uni and getting our sisters back," Damion said.
"NO!" Chika demanded. "I won't let you. It's too dangerous."
"Chika, I need to go to get Vert back. I-I can't stand back like all those years ago," Damion said. "This isn't me asking your permission, but their permission and your blessing. I'm going if they let me and you won't stop me. The only thing is that I don't want to leave you defenceless like when they took you. That's why I wanted Cave and Ly-5pb here," he said, slipping up on 5pb's name. "I know with the two of them here you will be safe."
"It is quite literally my job," Cave said.
"She can always be backstage at my concerts," 5pb said.
"I would definitely be ok with Damion joining us," Nepgear said. "Uni can join too."
"Um, well I have things I need to take care of but for a while I guess I can join you," I said.
"So, Chika, are you alright with me going?"
"Fine, but tonight you stay. 5pb, can you do an opening act for a concert?" Chika asked.
"Yeah," 5pb said.
"I have a plan that will get us a bunch of shares," Chika said.
"Well, I guess we have a concert to attend," Damion said, looking at Nepgear and myself.
We waited in the Basilicom for the rest of the day and went to the concert. Where we met up with Lowee's CPU Candidates. We watched as the crowd got angry when a boy band was brought up.
"Chika you idiot," Damion sighed. "Alright, I have an idea, but it requires all of us, do you trust me?"
We all agreed and he led us to the stage and told us to introduce ourselves while he got something ready. He then came up with a bass guitar and plugged it in and started to play a rift while we were introducing ourselves and then we heard a drum beat join in as a musician who was already there started joining in as well. We then realised what he wanted us to do and just went with it. We sang and by the end of the night all of our shares including Leanbox were higher than they were before.
"Well, time to go back home," Nepgear said.
"Well, Mina is making us go back to Lowee so I guess we might see you later," Ram said.
"Uh-huh, bye Miss Nepgear, Miss Uni, and Mr. Damion," Rom said, following her twin.
"Well, let's see what's next," Damion said.
"Sadly I was just informed of some work I have to do. I'll be going back to Lastation," I said.
"Here, I'll go with Uni to help her and Nepgear can take the Mascots and find our next steps. That way we can do more faster," Damion said.
"I think that is a wonderful idea. Then we can do twice the work at once," Nepgear said.
"Well, I guess it can be a good idea," I mumbled.
"Well, let's go," Damion said.
AN-
So, I'm trying my hand at this again. Hopefully this will be better than my last one. I am going to be trying my best to update this and my Legacy fic as much as possible. Tell me your thoughts, and some of my fics are being placed on the back burner for now.
