The last time we left off, Andrew is about to go supercharged or something. Let's see how that goes.

Inside of this blue light, Andrew is in a T-pose transforming, the watch that does all of this flexes and changes, it wraps around Andrew's left hand and makes itself into a gauntlet. The circuit pattern remains with it as it forms all around Andrew's body.

It gives Andrew a full body armor that only makes him a little bulkier, it goes to Andrew's other arm and gives him the same gauntlet as the other one and he has a pair now. Xelor forms at the lower body section and gives Andrew a pair of cybernetic boots. The whole outfit has the circuit pattern that Xelor is known for. Only Andrew's gauntlets and boots are blue and the rest is grey for some reason.

Andrew's eyes are closed during the whole transformation sequence, a helmet suddenly appears with zeroes in ones flashing in at the last moment of transforming. The light finishes and Andrew is brought back into the Gamindustri world and falls to the floor kneeling but not form lack of power but just because. His eyes open and they are now blue with a grey circuit pattern in the irises. He is also a bit taller.

Xelor states robotically, "Transformation complete. User is ready for battle."

Andrew stands up and looks at himself and says, "This is my form? I feel... energized." His voice is completely different sounding more mature.

Xelor beeps, "Exactly. This is what my power is. I 'overclock' the body of my user with my energy and increase their stats tenfold."

Andrew says enthusiastically, "I like it! I feel like I can face the deadliest of foes."

"Yes, and as I have gathered, your personality is also changed. You no longer have your social anxiety, and it has been irradiated in this form." Xelor says to Andrew.

Andrew makes a fist, "Well... time to see what I can do and give Purple Heart a hand." He looks around and then says, "I better take a back exit so I don't get any unwanted attention."

Xelor beeps, "Good thinking. I'll leave this up to you now. Good luck."

Andrew nods and runs out of Neptune's room at blinding speed and just heads out from a window and falls out. "No fall damage, nice." He heads towards the monster and meets up with Neptune.

Neptune is still fighting the Com Troller as expected and has given it quite a beating but it's still standing, "This monster is quite persistent." Seems that Neptune's personality also has changed.

Andrew looks at the condition of the battle and nods, "I see a shot. I wonder if I can find its true weakness." He lowers his visor that his helmet can contract at any given time he needs. "Yes, this monster is a piece of cake. I better give Neptune the rundown." He jumps towards the battle frey.

Neptune notices him but doesn't recognize him, "Who is this? Is he an enemy?" She gets ready for whatever that Andrew might do.

Andrew gives her a peace sign, "Hello there! Allow me to assist you with this monster!" His playfulness towards his friends is still there. The playfulness that he kind of haves.

Neptune loosens her nervousness towards Andrew in his new form, "What are you planning to do that I cannot?"

Andrew gives her a smile, "I'm just going to help. Isn't it more fun to fight a monster with someone than alone?" He said something that is similar to what Neptune said to him.

Neptune gives a smile back, "Very well. I trust your intentions."

The Com Troller gets ready to charge at the two and Andrew is ready for him, "This is pretty simple, really. But you do need a partner for this." He quickly jumps over the beast and gets around the tail that it has and grabs it, "On my mark... you slice it with your sword." He spins it around and around.

Neptune nods and gets ready for Andrew to finish his attack.

After Andrew finishes his spin cycle he says, "So long, ugly monster!" He throws it towards Neptune, "Right in the back of its head!"

Neptune then precisely jabs the Com Troller just as Andrew had said and gives it a horizontal slice right through it and it disappears. "Phew! I did it!"

Andrew gives her a thumbs up, "Great job!"

Neptune then asks, "Who are you and why did you help me?"

Andrew then says, "Just a friendly neighborhood NPC."

Neptune returns to normal, "No way! An NPC couldn't swing that big of a monster! That was just awesome! It's very protagonist worthy!"

Andrew laughs, "Well! I'm glad that you liked it! I better go now!"

Before Neptune could say anything else, Andrew runs off, "Aw... he's gone. Well, maybe I'll see him again! I better return back to Andy. I hope he didn't eat the pudding on his own." Neptune returns to the Bascilicom.

Andrew enters the way that he exited from and makes sure that no trace of him leaving is found. He powers down and sits back to his spot and lays there all casual like.

Neptune runs back, "Andy!" She looks all in a panic.

Andrew sweatdrops, "Y-yes?" As expected, his anxiety is back.

Neptune tells him, "Well... I was fighting that big monster and then this dude shows up randomly and he totally kicked its butt with me!"

Andrew asks, "Oh? How did that end up?"

Neptune says enthusiastically, "It went tubular! He also looked like a CPU, just like me. I wonder if he helped me because he has the hots for me?"

Andrew's eyes widens, "Um... I-I'm pretty sure he was just being friendly." He feigns a smile.

Neptune replies, "How would you know? Do you know anything about him?"

Andrew shakes his head, "N-no clue. Nada... zilch. Um... I just think it was for the goodness of his heart."

Neptune shrugs, "Who knows! Hey! Now, we can finish our pudding!"

Andrew nods, "Yeah, we can." Andrew goes over and grabs the pudding and eats some of it.

Neptune gets worried, "Hey... leave me some!" She jumps over towards Andrew and tries to take the pudding from him.

Andrew didn't even bother fighting for it, "Ah... j-just take it." He hands over the pudding to Neptune.

Neptune begins to laughs, "Ha ha ha! The pudding now belongs to me!" She takes a bite from it and smiles, "Nothing beats pudding after a good fight!"

Andrew mutters to himself, "Except video games..."

Two people enters Neptune's room, two girls actually... Another purple haired girl who has seems to have a school uniform on, and a little fairy girl on a book. Andrew draws silent from their encounters.

Neptune happily greets them, "Nep Jr. and Histy! How's it goin'!"

The fairy girl looks over and says, "I can see that you are back to relaxing instead of trying to do quests like your sister is."

Andrew mutters, "That's Nepgear? She looks pretty mature to be a younger sister."

Nepgear notices Andrew, "Um... who's this, Neptune?"

Andrew stutters, "Err... I-I'm-"

Neptune replies, "This is Andy, my new friend! We got to have pudding together!"

Nepgear smiles, "That's great. I'm glad to see that my sister is making new friends. I hope that we can be friends too, Andy."

Andrew nods, "S-sure..."

The fairy girl looks over at Andrew, "I don't know having strangers here is a good idea when-" She looks at Andrew's watch and asks, "That watch! Where did you get it?"

Andrew raises the watch on his right wrist, "Oh, this... my grandfather gave it to me."

Histy replies, "I meant the other one..."

Andrew switches watches, "Oh... err... I won this at a competition, yeah..."

Histy feels like something's up, "Can I speak with you in private? If that would be ok for everyone else..." She looks over at Neptune and Nepgear."

Neptune nods, "Okey Dokey! Let's go, Nep Jr.!" She pushes Nepgear out of the room with her.

Nepgear replies, "Oh... ok."

After they left, the fairy named Histy says, "I know what that watch is. And I know it can hear me, right?"

Xelor started talking out loud, "Very well, Histoire."

Andrew asks, "You two know each other?"

Histoire nods, "Unfortunately so, I'm surprised that he's found a vessel to aid the CPUs with."

Andrew asks, "Is that what you're supposed to do, Xelor? And why is it 'unfortunately so'?"

Xelor replies, "Because she doesn't agree to all of my methods. Especially the one where I take an adolescent human from Earth."

Andrew says to Histoire, "I don't mind, actually. I even volunteered to go to Gamindustri."

Histoire replies, "But, are you aware of the dangers and hardships that you will have to go through just to help the CPUs?"

Andrew nods, "I know, I want to help. Please... just give me your support to do this."

Histoire nods, "Very well. But, are you actually going to be working hard or are you just going to take after Neptune?"

Andrew tries to say as enthusiastically as possible but it fails, "I will work hard... yeah, I'm just going to be friendly with them, too."

Xelor says to Histoire, "I will make sure to keep him busy, just like you are keeping Neptune busy."

Histoire nods, "Very well... I'll give you my support, Andy."

Andrew smiles, "Thank you, Histoire."

Histoire offers Andrew a smile as well, "My pleasure. Now, I'll be inviting Neptune and Nepgear back in and I won't mention this conversation to them."

Xelor beeps, "I am appreciative that you understand, Histoire."

Histoire exited the room and brings back Neptune and Nepgear, but obviously Neptune wants to know what's up, "So... what did ya guys talk about that was so important?"

Andrew studders to try to come up with an excuse, "Um... well..."

Histoire says, "Oh, nothing much. Just arranging the requirements I have to having a guest in the Bascilicom."

Andrew nods, "T-that's exactly right."

Nepgear says, "Thank goodness that was all... I was worried that you would object to having my sister's friend here."

Histoire smiles, "It's fine."

Nepgear asks, "By the way... what happened out there. I saw some damage near the Bascilicom, I hope nothing awful happened to both of you."

Neptune waves her hands out, "Naw... nothing happened. It was just another daily Com Troller that your dear sister took care of! Nothing to worry about!"

Nepgear sighs with relief, "Goodness... those things are terrifying, but I'm glad you are strong enough to take care of yourself, just don't push yourself too hard."

Neptune smiles, "Naaww... when did I ever do that?!"

Histoire adds with a sigh, "Not enough, unfortunately."

Andrew tries to add something too, "S-so, being a CPU is tough, right?"

Histoire nods, "Yes... especially when you have to rely on the faith of the people to get shares."

It sounded like a business tactic to Andrew, "Sounds rough to me... I wish I could help you guys."

Nepgears turns a smile towards Andrew, "That's sweet of you to say. Your faith will surely help us."

Andrew asks, "So... what do the shares do exactly."

Neptune answers, "It help us get stronger! The more a CPU has, the more butt they can kick!"

Andrew nods, "That leaves me the impression that each CPU will fight for those shares."

Nepgear shakes her head, "That's what they did in the old days, but we all are friends now, so it's all good."

Andrew asks, "What if one CPU has more shares than the other, what happens then?"

Histoire replies, "You are making good points for one who is new here... I'm sure you know that the CPU will defend their nation and the people there with their lives so they need as much shares as they can get. If there is one CPU that does need more for that to happen then nowadays another CPU will come and aid them."

Andrew then asks, "Then what is the point in the shares if all the CPUs are going to help each other?

Histoire sighs, "It's the CPU's power. We try to keep them balanced, but sometimes, people have more faith in one CPU than another so it's always not so easy."

Nepgear nods, "That's why we go on quests so we can raise our shares that way."

Andrew nods, "That actually makes sense now. If only Neptune actually helped her nation just as much as Nepgear is you would actually have no problem raising shares."

Neptune feels offended, "Hey! I totally help getting shares! I just... feel lazy sometimes."

Andrew replies, "So... who is the older sister here?"

Neptune goes over to Andrew and waves her arms, "I-I'm the older sister! Why does everyone think that Nep Jr. is older than me?!"

Histoire says under her breath, "I wonder why..."

Andrew laughs a bit, "I'm just kidding... hey... I feel like gaming, let's play a game with each other."

Neptune says happily, "Now you're talkin'! What game should we play?"

Andrew looks around and picks a fighting game, "How about this one?"

Nepgear says, "But, we only have two controllers... oh... I guess I'll watch my sister play."

Andrew says, "No worries, maybe Neptune could switch off with you whenever she's done."

Nepgear shakes her head, "No... it's ok. Have fun playing, you two."

Andrew looks down, "Oh..."

Neptune smacks Andrew's back, "Come on! Put the game in!"

Andrew opens the game and puts the disk into the console, "Ok... so it says we can play cooperatively or against each other. Which one do you want to do?"

Neptune gives a direct response, "Against... duh! I'm so gonna own you at this game!"

Andrew shugs, "Ok..." He turns on the TV and turns on the game and it starts, "Holy crap, the graphics are so good." He notices that they are much better than the games in his dimension.

Neptune presses a button, "Player one! Let's see... who do I want to be... this one!"

Andrew sighs, "I'll be player two, then..." He picks a character.

They start playing and Neptune notices that Andrew is actually really good, "Wow... how did you do those combos, let me... hey! Let me have a chance here!"

Andrew chuckles, "I thought you were good at this. Isn't this your game? This is my first time playing it after all..." Andrew is glad that he played with people online here and has gotten better over time.

Neptune clacks a lot of buttons trying to get a fighting chance, "Oh... you are so going down, Andy! Hey! Stop doing that!"

In no time, Andrew defeats Neptune, "I win..."

Neptune sighs, "Wow... you're really good."

Andrew shrugs, "I guess so..."

Neptune has a look of shock, "I mean... look how fast you are pressing those buttons, makes it look like you are just mashing."

Andrew replies, "It's pretty much the same combo layout in any other fighting games."

Neptune doesn't look like she's giving up, "Come on! Round two! I'll beat you this time!"

Andrew shrugs, "Uh... ok."

It turns to 30 minutes later and Neptune has a look of shock once again, "I lost... 20 times..."

Andrew replies, "I win again..."

Neptune says, "I don't believe it... and he's just this one guy I found at a concession stand. And he plays so well..."

Andrew turns to Neptune, "Do you want to play another round?"

Neptune waves her hands, "No, no! How about we play an MMO with each other!"

She grabs the game that she usually plays with her friends online, "Here!" She gives the game to Andrew.

He shrugs, "Ok..." Andrew puts the game in and says, "This looks even better..."

Neptune makes a sinister chuckle, "Heh heh heh... there's no way he can be good when he's level one..."

Andrew notices the face she's making, "Are you ok, Neptune?"

Neptune nods, "Oh, I'm fine! Let's get to playing!"

Andrew has to make a character and he makes one similar to his appearance, "There."

They enter the game world and Neptune laughs, "You are level one! Witness my awesome level 65 character!"

Andrew says, "I just started playing... can you at least help me through these quests so I can start doing dungeons?"

Neptune realises that this was a bad move, "Sure..."

After a few hours, Neptune started to feel sleepy trying to go through the quests that she already did with Andrew. He notices, "Are you getting tired? Do you want us to stop or something?"

Neptune retorts, "No! I'm just taking it a bit easy for you."

Andrew shrugs, "Ok..."

After more hours pass, Andrew just completely ignores Neptune as he's enthralled in the game world. A bit more time pass and he notices how late it has been gotten, "Phew! That was a good session, right?" He notices Neptune fast asleep, still holding her controller and drooling on it as well.

Andrew whispers, "Is everybody else asleep?" He just assumes so and turns off the console and puts his controller up, "How am I going to put her on her bed?"

Xelor responds, "Just carry her and place her there, everybody else is resting so you'll have to do it."

Andrew gulps, "M-me? I never had to carry a girl to her own bed before..."

"Well... you aren't going to leave her there, are you?" Xelor asked Andrew.

Andrew shakes his head, "N-no..." He mans up and does it, he picks her up and carefully walks her towards her bed and rests her there. "Phew! She wasn't heavy, I guess but it was nerve wrecking to say the least."

Xelor replies, "Have you forgotten something?" Andrew notices the controller in her hands covered in drool.

Andrew shutters, "D-do I have to?"

"Yes, it was your idea to play a game and you will have to put everything up." Xelor states to Andrew.

Andrew nods, "O-ok." He picks up the controller carefully, "She has a good grip on this..." He finally got Neptune to let it go and asks, "W-what now?"

"Clean it and put it up, of course." Xelor suggested to Andrew.

Andrew can't see what he can use to clean the drool with and realizes what he has to do, "Oh wait..." He uses his shirt to clean it up, "I don't care if she's cute... this is still gross."

Xelor replies, "I concur. Now carefully leave her room and make sure to not wake her up."

Andrew nods and does this without stepping on anything. "Oh boy... that was a bit of a hassle to do..."

Andrew looks around and says, "I guess I better leave then, at the middle of the night."

As he was about to, Nepgear comes back from her room and says, "Goodness, are you still here, Andy?"

That startles him a bit and he says, "Y-yeah... your sister fell asleep so I put her in her bed for you."

Nepgear nods, "Thank you... are you going to be leaving this late at night?"

Andrew replies, "Yeah... is that a problem?"

Nepgear nods again, "If you are thinking about heading back home then it is. There are monsters out there that roam at night and I don't want you getting hurt. You should just stay here for the night. You can sleep on the couch if you want."

Andrew's eyes widens, "A-are you sure? I-I'm not going to be a burden, right?"

Nepgear smiles, "Not at all. Well, good night, Andy." She returns back to her bedroom.

Andrew sighs, "I never slept over at a girl's place before..." He rests on the couch and drifts his eyes to sleep.

The next morning, Andrew hears Neptune's voice calling him loudly, "Hey! Rise and shine, sleepyhead!"

Andrew groans and tosses over lazily, he isn't a morning person for sure.

Neptune gets a mischievous smile due to an idea in her head, "OK... if you won't wake up, then..." She grabs a part of the blanket that Andrew is in and begins to roll in up and cocoons Andrew with it. She grabs another portion of it and uses it to knock over Andrew on the floor while he's cocooned. "Heh heh heh... how'd you like that, Andy?"

That woke him up, "Wah... I can't see anything." He tries to wiggle out of the blankets but Neptune is one step ahead of him.

"Not gonna happen!" She holds the blanket down so it'll be more difficult for Andrew to find his way out. She then asks Andrew, "Do you surrender?"

Andrew replies playfully, "Never..." He tries kicking out of them but as before, Neptune is one step ahead of him.

"Nice try!" She lays on top of his legs, "Now do you surrender?"

Andrew notices this and asks, "Can you get off of my legs?"

Neptune replies, "Only until you surrender!"

Andrew playfully pleads, "Fine... I surrender. Have mercy or something..."

Neptune laughs and gets off, "I win! In your face, Andy! I've bested you!"

Andrew gets out of the blanket and says, "Well done. I was no match for you."

Xelor says to Andrew, "Nice bonding time but we have to go now and continue your training."

Andrew frowns, "Well... unfortunately. Something tells me that it's time for me to go now."

Neptune pouts, "Aw, what?! But you are the most funnest person I ever had hanging out with. Why do you have to be a party pooper?"

Andrew shrugs, "I don't know... I just suddenly got plans. I will come back and hang out with you some other time, ok?"

Neptune gives in, "OK..."

Histoire comes by, "You still need to do some quests, Neptune."

Neptune complains, "What?! But that's no fun! It's usually some kind of fetch quest or kill this many weak enemies or something like that!"

Andrew says, "I would do what Histoire says, and as fun as this sounds right now, I have plans to do."

Xelor beeps, "Now that you mention it, Andrew... you need to train your normal form as well and this is the perfect opportunity. I can't believe I'm suggesting this, but... go with Neptune on that quest."

Andrew smiles a bit, "Actually... I think those plans can hold off until later. I actually think it'll be a good idea if I tagged along with you on that questing stuff."

Neptune smiles, "That's super tubular! Now, it won't be as boring but, are you sure you can handle dungeons? You aren't leveled up at all from the looks of it."

Andrew shrugs, "I won't know unless I try. I'm kind of curious about what these quests are about."

Neptune laughs, "That's the spirit! I'm sure you'll do fine and if you don't... I'll protect you!"

Andrew nods and looks at Histoire, "I'm just wondering if it'll be ok with Histoire."

Histoire gives Andrew a smile, "The more the merrier for Neptune!"

Andrew fist pumps, "Thanks, Histoire. You're the best book fairy I ever had the fortune of meeting."

Histoire continues to smile, "Have fun, you two!"

Neptune grabs Andrew's arm again, "Let's go before all the good quests are taken!"

She runs off in a flash with Andrew dragging along.

What might happen in the questing and will Andrew actually be useful? Find out next time!
