Last time, Andrew met two goddesses and Lastation was under attack so he went to help. But, he got his ass kicked and was hurled off somewhere. Lets see where...
Andrew flies down to the ground and is spinning like a bullet. He crashes into snow fortunately, he gets up and is in his GPU form. "Phew! I'm glad I thought of transforming before I crashed. I could have died if I didn't." He gets up and looks around. "A snowy region? Where is this, Xelor?"
"You are in Lowee's continent. This is home to the final goddess, White Heart." Xelor beeped.
Andrew thinks for a moment, "Hang on... Planeptune, that one is a mystery. Leanbox, Lastation, Lowee... those are similar to the consoles back at home."
"What are you getting at, Andrew?" Xelor asks.
"Nothing, it's just a funny coincidence. Anyways... I need to get back to Lastation and help them out. My team is out there and I must help them. Sooner I can do that, the sooner I can go back to Planeptune and see Neptune and Nepgear again." Andrew replies to Xelor.
"Oh, and not Vert?" Xelor says.
Andrew chuckles, "Of course I'll visit her, too! I kind of left abruptly." Andrew looks behind him and sees a city, "This must be Lowee proper, kind of convenient that the mech just threw me here, huh?"
"Yes, but I'd advise not to take too long here so you can help your friends." Xelor says.
"Oh... you actually care about them! That's so nice!" Andrew says while in a bit of a teasing tone.
"Even if I may not like them, I do not want any harm to befall on them." Xelor responds.
"Sure you do!" Andrew continues to tease.
"Your GPU personality isn't what I hoped it would." Xelor says.
Andrew shrugs, "Eh, it's just what it is, you know!"
Andrew walks into the city and sees a bunch of citizens staring at him. "Wow... they must think I'm a CPU or something." Andrew assumes while continues walking.
"Similar in appearance but not in power. You are like a guardian angel to the goddesses." Xelor says.
"But, I haven't seen a goddess who actually realizes what I am." He finds a big building, "Hey, look at that! We've found the Bascilicom already!"
Andrew lets himself in and looks around, "Hello?! Can I speak with the goddess of Lowee?! I would like to meet you!" He calls out.
Xelor beeps, "This circumstance is the only thing good about your GPU personality."
Instead of the goddess coming out is two little girls, seems to be twins. The one with the long hair says, "Why do you want to see our sister? What are you planning to do with her, huh?!"
Andrew replies, "Well, just meet her. Is that a problem? I don't mean to intrude or anything."
"You bet it's a problem! She has no time for a loser like you to get in her way of work! And playing with us, of course!" The long haired girl says while the short haired girl nods, "That's right."
Andrew scratches his chin, "Gee, I really don't mean any trouble. I'm just a simple guy with amazing powers that wants to see her. Could you sweet girls please escort me to her?"
The long haired girl shakes her head, "That won't fool us, dummy! If you are as amazing as you say you are then we demand a match with you!" The short haired girl nods, "Yes, and we'll beat you."
Andrew thinks about it for a moment, "I don't know, I don't want to hurt you little girls even if you are CPUs.
The long haired girl replies, "Are you just scared that you're gonna lose?! Well, you should!"
Andrew shrugs, "I suppose I could try and not hurt you too much. Can I at least have the name of my opponents?"
The long haired girl introduces herself, "I'm Ram and this is my sister, Rom! Prepare for defeat, dummy!" She transforms into her CPU form. "That's right!" Rom says while doing the same.
They rush in for Andrew who just idly stands there, "Oh, boy... I don't even know if I can do this."
They try slashing him with their staffs and Andrew runs off at light speed and avoided their attack, "Hey! Where did you go, you cheater!" Ram shouted.
"No cheating here. I just dodged it." Andrew says calmly.
They shoot ice attacks at Andrew and he avoids those too, "I suggest you should try locking on to me or something because I'm just going to keep dodging."
"You asked for it, dummy!" Ram and Rom rushes for Andrew with flight and try to hit him with their ice staffs.
"Could you stop calling me that? I'm just trying to not get hurt." As they close in on Andrew he runs off, but they still are on the move and making sure that they get him.
It's a chase now, he runs all over the hallways of the Bascilicom while the twins fly trying to get him. Rom and Ram keeps shooting their ice beams at Andrew and he sidesteps away from them. "Stop trying to run away! You can't hide from us, you dummy!"
"I'm so glad that I don't have a little sister now..." Andrew says while avoiding their attacks.
They use ice and blocks Andrew's route of escape and then they boxed him in, "No running away now! You can either fight us or just take the hits!" Ram shouts at Andrew.
Andrew shrugs, "I guess I have no choice." He points a fist at Rom and Ram and his fist goes inside and his arm becomes a cannon and charges it, "Enerblast!" He shoots blue blasts of energy out of the cannon and tries shooting for Rom and Ram.
They retaliate by twirling the staffs and deflecting the blasts. "That's all you got?! We're coming for you!" Ram yells as they charge at Andrew and smacks him through the ice.
Andrew positions himself back up in mid fling, "That one hurts. I guess you are strong little girls after all. This is actually pretty fun!" He smiles.
"Well, there is more where that came from." Ram replies. The two of them put their ice staffs together and charge up a giant attack.
"Oh, here comes their duo combo attack. I better get ready." He just holds his hands up and says, "Do it! I dare you!"
Rom says, "Very well..." Ram says, "We are gonna do it! This is the end of you!" They shoot their attack at Andrew.
Andrew continues to hold up his hands and as soon as he feels the attack on them he slides back, "Time to charge up." He begins to run and tries to push the attack back. It continues to push him back, "Full speed!" His legs turn to a blur as he pushes the attack back to them.
It actually comes back to them but they have an easy solution out of this, "Here." Rom says as the both of them freeze the floor.
Andrew loses the traction on his feet and he slips and slides, "Ah! Damn it!" He falls over and the attack flies upwards and hits the ceiling making it crash on top of Andrew.
Ram begins to laugh, "You fell for it! I can't believe you actually did that, dummy!"
The fun stopped there as a certain angry individual steps in afterwards, "What the hell happened?!" She did not sound too happy.
Rom and Ram pointed the blame at Andrew, "It was him! He was trying to hurt us so we had to do it! For you because he was going to do something to you." Ram says to their sister.
Andrew gets out of the rubble, "Ow..." He notices the other girl who looks similar to Rom and Ram and knows she's not happy, "Oh crap..."
She walks towards Andrew and says, "Is that true?"
Andrew shakes his head, "I just wanted to meet you and your sisters attacked me. I tried backing out but they insisted."
She looks at him for a moment and says, "You aren't lying."
"What?! Why would you believe that dummy over your sisters?!" Ram objects.
"Because this isn't the first time you did something like this. Now apologize to him right now!" Their older sister demands.
Rom says sweetly, "Sorry..." Ram says not so sweetly, "Yeah, whatever, sorry."
Andrew smiles, "It's ok!" He looks at the damages, "Sorry about the mess."
"It's alright. I'll get someone to fix it. So, what did you want to see me for?" The older sister asks.
"Well, first. Do you know what I am?" Andrew says.
She looks over at him and observes his appearance and then nods, "You are a GPU, are you not?"
Andrew nods, "Yeah! I am! So, what's your name, then?"
"My name is Blanc. It's nice to meet you. Come to my sanctuary and we'll talk some more." Blanc quietly says as she walks off while Andrew follows.
They sit down and Blanc offers Andrew some tea, "So, as I have seen in the past. A GPU's job is to protect the goddesses. Well, I'm happy that you came to offer but I don't think I need your services. Sorry." Blanc says.
Andrew sips some of the tea, "Well, I wasn't asking to have a job but more like getting to know you and becoming friends. Is that ok?"
Blanc nods, "That's fine. I'm glad that you came because I would like to show you something private. That is, if you can keep a secret."
Andrew nods, "Yes, I can."
Blanc nods and gets a book and gives it to Andrew, "This is a book I have been working on. It stars a boy with special powers and he meets a girl. What do you think?" She blushes a bit as she talks about this.
Andrew looks into it and gives it a quick read, "Wow, I say that it is good. Hmm..." He looks at the cover and notices that the girl resembles Blanc a bit. "Ok. It looks promising, I'll read more of it some other time."
Blanc smiles a bit, "Good. And if you mention this to anyone, I'll kill you."
Andrew smiles back, "Don't worry about that. I understand." Andrew gets reminded, "Oh! I have to get back to Lastation! It's urgent!"
Blanc nods, "Go. I'll be here when you get back." Andrew nods and lets himself out.
Ram and Rom sees him leave, "He's leaving already?" Rom asked. "Good riddance! I hope I never see that dummy again!" Ram says.
Andrew runs back to Lastation and hopes that he gets there in time for the big showdown between the mech.
Back with the mech, it seems that they cannot damage it some more for some reason, the mouse inside taunts, "Give it up, goddess! This baby is CPU proof! We've stolen all the good parts in order to make that happen!"
Noire shouts, "I don't care if it is CPU proof! I won't let you destroy Lastation!"
"Forget it. You cannot win." The older lady says.
IF and Compa are still trying to help take it down, "Oh... it's still not going down. What can we do?" Compa asks.
"Damn it! If we don't do something soon! More people will die and not just Andrew." IF replies.
Things are starting to look grim until a blur comes it and smacks the leg of the mech and it starts wobbling over, "W-what the hell?!" The girl that's close to Andrew's age shouts.
IF and Compa strikes it and they push it over. "Wow, that was a lucky break. But who did that?"
Andrew shows himself in his GPU form, "And I come in to save the day!"
The older lady says, "What?! Another CPU? No... not even close, can it be?"
Andrew replies, "Wow... you are realising what I am? I'm so thrilled! Can I defeat you while you are still figuring this out?"
"Grr... you don't know who you are dealing with, boy. I'm Arfoire! Remember it and tremble!" The older lady introduces herself.
"And I'm the adorable mouse with the adorable name, Pirachu!" the mouse says. "And this is just an underling."
The Underling feels offended, "Hey! Don't call me that, rodent!"
Andrew says, "Pirachu, huh? You know that's one letter away from copyright."
Pirachu shouts, "Shut up! You just got lucky with that shot! We are just going to get up and destroy you fools!" He presses some buttons and tries to get the mech up.
Andrew waits for something to happen, "Let's see what we got here." He lowers his visor and scans the mech. "Weakness is... eh, I don't care. I'm just going to pound at it until it explodes."
Noire lowers down to Andrew and says, "And just who are you? Why did you invite yourself in the middle of our fight?"
Andrew replies, "Well, I did save you guys. You can just accept my help or just whail on it some more and hope to get a good outcome. Your pick."
Noire grumbles, "Grr... Fine, but we'll talk about this later. Just hurry up and do something!"
The mech gets up, "Grr... stupid piece of junk." Pirachu says insulting their mech.
"Well, you shouldn't be the one controlling it." Underling replies.
Andrew yawns, "Are you guys going to fight me or just going to fight each other?"
"Shut up! I got this now! You are toast, kid!" Pirachu says while shooting rockets at Andrew.
"Yay, projectiles! Time to show them my speed!" He runs off dodging the rockets.
"Hold still!" Pirachu says while trying to shoot him.
"Hmm... nah! How about this then?" Andrew shoots enerblasts at the mech and it seems to work.
Noire comments, "How can this kid's attacks be effective while mine are not?"
Andrew replies, "Because I'm not a CPU. This mech has something inside it making it impervious to CPUs' attacks."
Noire thinks it over, "Maybe you're right. Maybe I should power down for this." She lands and transforms back to her human form. "Alright you crooks... get out of my nation!" She jumps up to its head and jabs it with her rapier.
The mech stops the barrage of rockets flung at Andrew and he rushes and gives the mech a swift kick. IF and Compa both attack the chest in unison. It goes over again, "Damn it! Again?!" Pirachu shouts in anger.
"Give me the controls, you worthless rodent!" Underling says while trying to push Pirachu out of the way.
The mech tries to get up to counterattack, Andrew doesn't accept that, "Nope! I'm not going to let you have a chance!" He jumps up and slams his knee down at the chest and dents it up a bit, "Woo... that hurts a bit." He jumps back afterwards.
Noire continues to drive her rapier into the mech.
If and Compa gets the idea, "Ok, we are going to open the chest so Noire can deliver the final blow. Kind of like surgery." IF says to Compa.
Compa nods, "Yessy, I'll do my best to pierce my needle into it."
IF and Compa jumps on the chest and they both slash at it trying to cut open the hard metal. "Almost... got it." IF strains to cut it with her claws.
Andrew shrugs, "I guess I'll do what I did before." He jumps up and slams his knee into the mech again. He jumps back again.
Underling gets frustrated, "Damn it! If they keep this up, the mech is done for! And these broads are keeping me from getting up!"
Pirachu crosses his arms, "Told you!"
Underling kicks Pirachu into a wall, "Shut up, rodent!"
Arfoire mentions, "This mech has jets, you know."
Underling looks for the button that does that, "Oh yeah..." She presses it and the mech hovers above the ground, "Ha! How do you like me now?!"
Everyone steps back, the mech faces back to them and turns its firearms against them, "Eat lead, stupid broads!" Underling shouts out.
Andrew says, "You know I'm a guy, right?" Paying no mind to the gunfire that's about to shoot at him and his team.
Underling replies, "And stupid pervert, how's that?"
Andrew says, "Eh, could be better."
Noire says, "How can you be so casual when we're about to be pelted by thousands of bullets?!"
Andrew smiles, "Because we can stop them!"
Underling retorts, "Oh yeah? Then try it, idiots!" She fires the bullets right at them.
Andrew nods, "Yep! Kind of dumb! Magnet wave!" He holds out his arms and creates a magnetic field around him catching all the bullets. "I don't want them. You can have them back." He redirects the bullets back at them right at the chest finally exposing it. Andrew gives a wave at Noire, "Right, it's your turn, Noire! Go!"
Noire nods and transforms into her CPU form, "Time to end it!" She charges at the mech at blinding speed and jabs her weapon into the chest and whatever that makes it immune to her attack causes the mech to have a meltdown and it glows red and then it explodes.
The mech is in shambles. Underling and Pirachu are dazed, Arfoire is just hurt. "Grr... you got lucky! This is just the beginning, you haven't seen the last of us!" The three of them leaves.
Noire replies with a "Hmph!" And she transforms back.
Andrew claps, "Great job everyone!"
Noire nods, "Yeah, that was pretty good for an amateur."
Andrew shrugs, "Can't please everyone, I suppose. I was just helping is all."
Compa cheers, "That was super, everyone! A really amazing victory!"
IF nods, "Not very strategic but a solid effort."
Noire nods, "Yeah... who asked for you to call out our battle plans, stranger?"
Andrew shrugs, "Hey, I just go where I'm needed. It's not my fault that I can detect their weaknesses."
Noire looks to the side, "Well... I suppose it was decent. But only decent, got that?!"
Andrew nods, "Crystal clear. Anyways, I best be off. I'll catch you guys on the flip side if you want." He runs off.
Noire calls out, "Hey! Wait a minute!" Too late, "Ugh! Who is that guy?!"
He runs all the way back to Planeptune which is a very far away from Lastation, he transforms back and is panting, "Wow... all that time in that form. I'm exhausted..."
Xelor says, "Don't listen to Noire. You did very good."
Andrew replies, "Yeah... she is just hard to please. I didn't really care all that much. If she didn't like it then I can't do anything about it. Anyways... I want to catch up on Neptune and Nepgear."
Xelor asks, "What about Blanc? Weren't you going to meet her?"
Andrew shakes his head, "I've met her in my GPU form and if I stay that way for a bit longer... I might deplete all of my energy."
Xelor beeps, "Good point. If that happened then you would have revealed yourself. It's surprising that you stayed in that form for that amount of time."
Andrew says, "It was just 40 minutes... I think."
ZAP!
Andrew twitches a bit from the shock, "Ow... ok, I guess I deserved that."
"Go visit Neptune already." Xelor says.
Andrew nods, "Ok."
He walks around town searching for the Bascilicom again. He asks, "Hey, is there some sort of contact information thing I could do to keep in touch? Like with cell phones in my dimension?"
Xelor replies, "We have cell phones here, too. That costs money, Andrew. You should hold off on that."
"Ok..." Andrew nodded. Andrew looks around and then he asks Xelor, "Hey... should I buy Neptune some pudding while I'm out here?"
Xelor beeps, "Do what you wish. I do not care."
Andrew asks, "Is something up?"
Xelor sighs, "My energy is depleting and you are still talking to me. I need to recharge."
Andrew nods, "Oh, I see. Well, sweet dreams, I guess."
Xelor replies, "I do not dream... ever."
"Oh." Andrew plainly says and walks off and finds the same concession stand that he met Neptune at and purchased some pudding and walks away looking for the Bascilicom.
Andrew looks over and sees the big pointy building and walks to it. He enters and sees Histoire and waves hello to her, "Hey there, Histoire. How is it going?"
Histoire gives a light smile, "Fine. How is Xelor treating you?"
Andrew replies, "He's resting right now, but I suppose good. He did shock me a few times because of some strict training he's doing."
Histoire nods in understandance, "He still doesn't like Neptune or Planeptune?"
Andrew nods, "Yeah, he's still stuck up like that. Do you think it'll be alright to introduce him to Neptune and hope that they get along?"
Histoire looks to the side, "I don't know... he never really gets along with anyone except you."
Andrew blinks a few times and asks, "Does he talk to the goddesses?"
Histoire shakes her head, "No, he just doesn't have the tolerance for someone like Neptune. Perhaps you can try but he won't like it."
Andrew shrugs, "Eh, I'll give it a shot. It can't hurt. I can just say that my watch has an AI."
Histoire nods and asks, "You will tell them the truth eventually, right?"
"That depends on Xelor. Well, I gotta go meet them now, bye." Andrew replies.
The two waves goodbye and Andrew enters Neptune's sanctuary. "Hello? Neptune? Nepgear?"
He waits for someone to show up then he hears, "Symbol attack!" Someone smacks Andrew in the face with a pillow. It was none other than Neptune, "Hey there, Andy! I gotcha good!"
Andrew has a red mark from the impact, "Nice to see you, too, Neptune. I got you something."
Neptune smiles upon hearing, "Ooh... what did you get me?"
Andrew opens the plastic bag, "Five pudding surprises. I hope you like them."
Neptune cheers, "Like them? I love them! Thanks a bunch, Andy!" She hugs him.
Andrew blushes, "Y-your welcome." He was expecting Xelor's shock but forgot that he's resting. "That's right." He mumbles.
Neptune lets go and tells him things, "So, I finished my questing and leveled up a bunch and raised my shares very high! What did you do?"
Andrew thinks and replies, "Oh, well I met some of your friends, IF and Compa, yeah..."
"Oh! You did?! That's super duper! You got along with them, right?" Neptune asks.
Andrew nods, "Yep. Also I met the rest of the goddesses and they seemed like fun."
"Oh, ya have? Which one did you think is your favorite?" Neptune says while closing in at Andrew.
Andrew stumbles his words, "Oh, err... um... I don't know... I can't choose."
ZAP!
"I told you I'm resting!" Xelor shouts.
Neptune asks, "What was that?" she looks worried that Andrew got electrocuted all of the sudden.
Andrew tells her, "It's just my dumb watch, Xelor. He has a mind of his own."
Xelor's jaw would have dropped if he had one, "Why did you mention me to her? Now she would want to ask more about me!"
As if on cue, Neptune does, "Oh, really? Then why can't I hear him?"
Xelor speaks out loud, "Because I communicate through his thoughts."
Neptune freaks out, "Whoa! Possessed watch!"
Xelor sighs, "Just as I suspected from the CPU of Planeptune."
Neptune asks, "What's his deal?"
Andrew lightly chuckles, "He just has a hard time with fun people."
Neptune gets it, "Oh! Just like Noire! Then I must sway him to the Nep side!"
Xelor beeps, "No! What have you done, Andrew!"
Andrew laughs, "It's for your own good."
Nepgear gets home and greets Andrew, "Oh, hello, Andy. What are you guys doing?"
"Oh nothing... just chatting it up with Andrew's talking watch, Xelor!" Neptune replies.
Nepgear runs over, "Oh really?! Cool! A talking watch! Hi, I'm Nepgear! I really like tech so I hope I can see what you can do."
Xelor says, "That's classified information."
Neptune replies, "Oh come on! My sis won't hurt you, maybe she won't take you apart to see what makes you tick and stuff."
Xelor beeps, "No!"
Neptune laughs, "I'm just kidding! I got you, didn't I?"
"...I dislike this, Andrew." Xelor says.
Andrew smiles, "Why? You got friends now that isn't me."
"I don't want friends." Xelor says coldly.
"Goodness..." Nepgear says in response to that.
"I do not understand friendship. What is so good about it?" Xelor asks.
"Well, so you can have fun with your buds!" Neptune replies.
"Fun... Neptune, if you can show me this 'fun', will that make me understand how to like someone?" Xelor asks Neptune.
"Like someone? Oh, do you got a robotic crush on someone?" Neptune assumes.
"Not in that way." Xelor replies.
"I know, I'm just messing with you!" Neptune says.
"Please do something, Andrew." Xelor says in Andrew's mind.
Andrew nods, "Well... Xelor is worn out now."
Neptune puts her behind over her head, "Yeah, he is pretty boring to talk to, anyway."
Andrew says, "I didn't say anything about him being boring."
Neptune replies, "Well, his voice is so dull and lifeless, I could understand why he doesn't talk to anyone."
Andrew shrugs, "I guess so. Hey, now we can hang out now, right?"
Histoire says, "Yes, but make sure to do your quests, Neptune."
Neptune groans, "Oh... but those are bore chores, Histy! I wanna do something fun!"
Andrew says, "If it makes you feel any better, I'm going out to the world and thinking of helping the goddesses along the way. I appreciate it if you could accompany me."
Neptune gets pumped up, "Now that's something I'd like to go to! And I get to catch up with my friends and hopefully start a party."
Andrew asks, "A party party or a dungeon party?
Neptune responds, "How about both! And the rule of having a party is never leave a teammate behind! It's against the law."
Andrew sweatdrops, "I never knew that..."
Histoire nods, "It's true, if you leave your party behind you could get charged."
Andrew starts to worry, "Um... ok."
Nepgear smiles, "That sounds like fun! Count me in, too!"
Neptune smiles back, "You bet, Nep Jr.!"
Xelor reminds, "There is someone you forgot to meet again, Andrew. The one in this exact Bascilicom."
Andrew says out loud, "Oh yeah. Where's my dogoo at?"
Neptune makes an annoyed face, "That's right... he dogooed all over in my room! I hope you are going to be taking care of that, Andy!"
Andrew gives a sheepish smile, "Sorry... I'll take care of that."
Andrew walks over to Neptune's bedroom and opens it, he gets a shocked expression upon opening it, "That's... a lot of goo."
Neptune smiles and pats his back, "Yep! Get to work on that!"
The dogoo barks happily for the return of his owner. Andrew sighs, "Ugh... why me?"
A while later... Andrew pants from finishing cleaning the room. Xelor comments, "One hour... not bad."
Andrew nods, "That's what happens when I'm an only child. I have to clean everything while my parents are away."
Neptune asks, "You have parents? And they let you go on these dangerous adventures? They must be really awesome parents!"
Andrew scratches his head, "Well... they don't know that I left. I actually did come from another dimension."
Neptune's face turns to shock, "What?! So, you are new to this world! Well, no wonder you don't know the rules here."
Xelor beeps, "Yes, I was the one who took him from his parents. You better thank me for this."
Nepgear scolds, "Xelor, how could you? His parents must be worried sick."
Xelor replies, "Do not worry. Our time and his time are completely different. They won't know that he is gone."
Andrew asks, "And you are certain of that?"
Xelor beeps, "I am a high tech watch! Of course I am certain."
Neptune asks, "Can you tell time?"
Xelor beeps, "I don't have that function. My creator hasn't put that in yet."
Neptune laughs, "What kind of watch doesn't even keep track of time?"
Xelor grumbles, "I am not taking insults from a juvenile CPU."
Andrew chuckles lightly, "Ok... that's enough, Xelor."
Neptune retorts, "At least I have a great personality, speech synthesizer!" She finishes with a chuckle.
Andrew asks Neptune, "Alright... how about we eat the pudding now? We can play a game while doing so if you like."
Neptune nods, "Great idea, Andy! Let's get to it!"
Andrew smiles, "Great, I'll get the pudding from the fridge and you can get the game ready. It can be whatever you like."
Neptune smiles back, "Tubular! You are really an amazing friend! If only Xelor was more like you."
Andrew asks, "Could you please stop insulting him? He is just my guide to this world and I don't think he wants any more teasing."
"Ok... only if you tell me how to do those combos." Neptune says.
Andrew nods, "It's a done deal." He goes over to get the pudding only to be stopped by Nepgear.
Nepgear tries to say something, "Um... would it be alright if I can see Xelor for a bit? I want to observe him. He fascinates me."
Andrew looks down at Xelor, "Well... if it's ok with him."
Xelor says, "It's fine. But only info that I am Ok with."
Nepgear nods, "Yes, of course!"
Andrew takes off Xelor and gives him to Nepgear, "Maybe you two can be friends."
Nepgear nods, "That will be great!"
Andrew gets the pudding and returns to Neptune, "So.. what game did you pick?"
Neptune shows the game to Andrew, "Super Road Brawlers! Aren't you going to show me those combos?"
Andrew looks up and nods, "Ah... I did. OK, let's go."
They go to the training mode. Andrew did a complex combo move at Neptune and Neptune tries to copy it but couldn't, "See? How did you do it?!"
Andrew walks behind Neptune and holds Neptune's controller with her, "See... you gotta do this."
He presses the buttons with Neptune's controller while his hands are on Neptune's. She smiles, "Oh... thank you, Andy! Now show me the other ones!"
Andrew nods, "Ok..."
The whole play session turned into Andrew showing Neptune the combos, Neptune sits on Andrew's lap while Andrew presses the buttons for Neptune showing the combos.
Xelor scans over to what Neptune and Andrew are doing, "They seem to be bonding."
Nepgear smiles, "That's great! They really are getting so close now."
Xelor replies, "Yes."
Nepgear puts her index fingers together nervously, "Do you think... we can be that close?"
Xelor pauses for a while and replies, "It is not certain. I do not make relationships with lifeforms. And I do not know the reason why you would wish to do so. Explain."
Nepgear smiles, "Well... we do have a love for tech and you seem to be understanding. You do not look like you do but you do understand others."
Xelor pauses again, "I have to ask you something."
Nepgear nods, "Sure, what is it?"
Xelor replies, "I do not know why I dislike others. Perhaps it's in my programming and I only get along with my 'vessel'. Actually, it's not even that, it's some sort of faint feeling I have that is distant. I can't quite understand what it is. So I want you to do this... reprogram me to enjoy the company of others."
Nepgear gasps, "Goodness... but isn't that like hacking? That's against what Gamindustri and CPUs stands for."
Xelor beeps, "I know, but I grant you permission. I don't think my creator would care, I never met him/her so he/she does not concern me. Please, Nepgear. I would like to enjoy... your sister... for Andrew's sake."
Nepgear nods, "Alright. I'll do my best." She pulls out her tools and attempts to unscrew Xelor.
Neptune cheers, "Wahoo! That combo I did was amazing! I dominated you!"
Andrew smiles, "Yeah, you are getting the hang of it." Andrew thinks to himself, "I wish we had more games that allows me to show Neptune the controls."
The door knocks, Nepgear gets up from what she's doing, "Goodness... I'll get that. Wait for me here, Xelor."
"Very well." Xelor replies.
She opens it and Compa and IF was at the other end of the door. Neptune immediately gets up and greets them, "Compa and Iffy... it's been AGES! What's up?!"
IF replies, "We came by to tell you something... awful?" They look over and see Andrew nearby. "I-I saw you get flung 100 feet into the air and miles across Gamindustri! How the hell are you still alive?!"
Neptune turns to Andrew, "Huh? What is she talking about?"
Compa goes over to Andrew and looks over him, "Nope! He's clearly not a zombie!"
Andrew stutters a bit, "W-well... if you could calm down, I'll explain."
IF nods, "Good, because there's clearly no way you could survive that."
Andrew thinks for a bit and replies, "Well... I was actually rescued by this guy in armor and I told him what's going on and he brought me home and rushed over towards that incident."
IF replies, "Yeah... that makes since. So that's how he knew that the mech attacked Lastation."
Neptune ask, "What guy in armor?"
IF tries to explain, "The guy in a helmet, bit of a smooth talker, has those circuits in his eyes and around his body. He's totally a mystery and I don't know what his business is really."
Neptune gasps, "It's the guy who helped me with that Com Troller!"
IF replies, "Do you think..."
Andrew sweatdrops, "Think about what?"
IF continues, "That his job is to help CPUs in trouble."
Andrew nods, "Yeah, most likely."
Neptune says, "Well, then we got a mystery hero on our hands... kinda makes me want him to myself!"
Andrew is getting the idea a bit, "Oh, great..." He rolls his eyes to the ceiling.
None of them notices this and Neptune says, "Let's all go find him!"
IF replies, "We also have to defeat those three... but I guess we can since he was pretty helpful."
Compa nods, "Yessy! Let's do this, everyone!"
Andrew facepalms and thinks in his mind, "And they don't know that they are looking at him right now... damn it, Xelor." He looks over to Nepgear and gasps, "What are you doing?!"
The others turn to where Andrew is facing due to the sudden shock of his voice, Neptune replies, "They are bonding, what is so bad about that?"
Andrew shakes his head, "Not that... it looks like she's trying to open him up."
Nepgear explains, "No... he let me do this. He wants me to reprogram him to enjoy the company of others."
Xelor beeps, "Yes, now leave us be, Andrew."
Andrew sweatdrops, "This doesn't look right... but this is Xelor's decision, a very weird and a little dumb one."
Neptune nods, "Yeah... it does, huh? So, let's go everyone! I guess we can leave them here while we track for that armored guy!"
Everyone nods but Andrew, "This is rather pointless..." he mumbles to himself.
Neptune turns to Andrew, "What was that?"
Andrew feigns a smile, "I said 'sounds fun'. I can't wait... yeah."
Neptune smiles back, "Great! You should bring your pet with you so you can protect yourself without us having to."
Andrew sighs, "Ok..." He whistles for his dogoo and it jumps on his shoulder and barks happily.
Nepgear says, "Ok, I'll meet up with you guys later!"
Andrew says to her, "Alright."
The group leaves but Andrew who is recollecting in his head to what happened, "They are never going to find him if I don't have Xelor... well, that's Neptune for you. Cute... wonderful, Neptune... What am I thinking?! I better follow them!" He runs off to meet up with them.
Well, that's it! What will they find on their weird quest? Find out next time!
