Nope, it's not dead. I'm just very lazy. But for you guys, I'll do more of this and hope that I can actually write on a constant basis… until I finally finish the story. With that said, let's start!
[Negadimension Planeptune]
Several minutes after leaving the resistance hideout, Andrew and Plutia continue to follow the big tower that's most likely be the basilicom proper, as they proceed, the nation actually becomes more together than ever before, almost as if the goddess cares about looks, but it's because she probably uses this area more often than the outer nation, which is more ruins like.
Upon further inspection, Andrew notices surveying drones hovering around, about 3 or 4. "Damn… this place has these weird machines, maybe they're cameras that the evil goddess of this nation is looking through." Andrew begins to lay low, keeping Plutia close as they sneak their way towards the tower that most likely be the basilicom, "I'm going to go on a limb and say that if we get spotted by one of those, we'll be done for sure. So, please continue to stick close to me, Plutia." Andrew asks the sleepy alternate Planeptune goddess.
Plutia lays her head on Andrew's shoulders as she embraces him in a hug, "Okaaaaay, Andy~" Even with the dreadful atmosphere, Plutia doesn't seem phased by it one bit, in fact, it's as if she's right at home, which can be a scary thought.
Glue, on the other hand, sticks by Andrew, not literally, this time, but he goes into his hoodie pocket to bunker himself from all this chaos.
Andrew takes a deep breath and exhales as he sneaks along the pieces of broken building and collapsed streetlight, which are littered more scarcely than previously, "Stealth sections are the most nerve wrecking parts of any game I play… and the fact that I have to do it in real life is… scary." He fake cries as he sidesteps to the other chunk of building, which is smaller than the other one. His heart jumps as he sees the surveying drone darts its body to them, only to not catch them by a second, "D-damn… that was close… please tell me it's almost over…" He looks ahead and sees that there's still a long way to go, "I-I just want to go home now… either home home or the Hyperdimension, please." He whines as he tries to shrink himself and Plutia against the piece of rubble, waiting for the drone to pass by.
Plutia places her hand on the side of Andrew's face, as he feels them, they are soft and smooth, even if her way of fighting isn't that, she turns his head so that he faces her, "Andyyy~" Plutia speaks in an almost whisper tone, she leans in close to him.
Andrew begins to blush, his heart began to race even more so than before, "P-Plutia…" He gulps as Plutia leans in closer to him, "I-is she actually going to…? I thought she was just going to encourage me or something but if it's this…" He thinks to himself as the whole world seems to go in slow motion due to this spectacular event.
At the last minute, Plutia stops and whispers in Andrew's ear, "Ruuun~" She then pushes Andrew gently in sight of those drones.
Of course, surprising nobody, all the drones being to shine their laser sights onto Andrew, "Eheh…?" He chuckles nervously as he begins to bolt away from them, towards the tower, hauling as much ass as he can muster, while quietly sobbing to himself, "D-damn it, Plutia…" Sprinting for his dear life, hauling all the ass he can muster.
Plutia giggles as she sees Andrew run for the hills towards the tower as every single drone chases after him, "Silly Andy~"
Andrew then baseball slides into a ditch and all the drones desperately tries to scan for him, luckily, pipes were there to make it more difficult for them to do so. They eventually give up and fly away, "G-good thing they are pretty stupid…" He beads ton of sweat as he catches his breath, "I... I made it…" He flops over onto his back and crawls toward the surface a bit to poke out his head, he sees Plutia standing where he left her, "I wonder if Plutia will be alright making through that."
Plutia, who is being observed by Andrew takes her first step into the danger zone, the drones immediately take aim at her, she continues to walk calmly to Andrew. The drones immediate take aim at Plutia and fire their lasers at her. Andrew covers his eyes as soon as he sees flashes of red. All the streams of laser blasts nearly misses Plutia surprisingly, she isn't doing anything fancy, either, just slowly walking to Andrew.
"Okay, I'm heeeere~" Plutia exclaims in her sleepy tone, sliding into the ditch that Andrew is in.
Andrew, dumbfounded, opens his eyes and turns to face Plutia and looks back at the drones, "Did you… just… walked over here? Either you have amazing evasiveness or the drones are just there to scare us off. Let me find out." Andrew climbs out of the ditch and walks a bit back to the drones, they all aim their laser sights at him and fire.
Plutia smiles and effortlessly pulls Andrew back in the ditch, the lasers hit the ground that Andrew was standing on and it makes a charred mark on the dead soil. With eyes almost about to bulge out, Andrew nervously states with a nod, "Y-yep… they almost hit me." Laying in what could be his grave if it wasn't for Plutia.
Plutia beams at Andrew and repeats, "Silly Andy~" And pats the dopey GPU.
[A bit later]
After a moment or two of rest, Andrew and his trusty cohorts decide to get out of that cramped ditch and make their trek into Nega Planeptune's tower, Andrew looks back to the drones and then to Plutia, "Alright, it looks like the drones won't be able to see us now, for whatever reason, so we better hurry along and get inside that tower before this benefit wears off." He dusts himself off and scours ahead for any more danger, what he sees is… well, he'll tell you, "Sigh… it looks like there's something out there more deadly than those drones, more of those negites, hiding behind those spiky forts that my grandpa tells me about in his war stories. Something tells me we're almost there… but we aren't getting there easy." He looks down at Glue who is still tuckered in his jacket, he pops out of there and climbs onto his arm, "Looks like I'll be needing your services again, boy." Glue gives him a small, quiet yip and licks his face.
Plutia frowns, putting a finger to her chin, pondering about something, "So… what did Arf...Awf… wa… saaaay to do again?"
That question hits Andrew like a literal bucket of bolts, "Oh yeah… she gave us instructions, didn't she? I think she told us to follow the trail that they placed for us…" He pauses and looks around to search for said trail, "...but I'm not seeing it." He looks around some more, even back to where they passed through, "We probably are using it from the looks of it, and maybe if we hide behind those spiky forts, we should be able to…" In the middle of speaking, Plutia already made it past every single negite without issue, "W-what the… ffffff…" Rated T, Andrew.
Plutia from the distance, waves to Andrew, before snuggling her little plush of an iconic spiky and blue cartoon animal. Andrew strokes his chin and thinks to himself, "It might be crazy but… at least that explains a bit of what's going on with Pluts." Andrew shrugs it off, "Oh well… if she makes it through at least, then it doesn't matter if she stays close or not, I guess." He hurries on over to the first spiky fort, and immediately, the negites spots him and begins to fire freaking bullets at Andrew! Andrew gasps in shock and desperately holds onto the fort, crouching as low as he can go, "S-shit… I-I can't do this… t-those are real bullets and… I-I'm scared of getting s-shot…"
Plutia looks at this and tries to get his attention, "Psst, Andy… you can do iiiit~" She gives the cowering GPU a heartwarming smile, for once… not being careless for his safety or sadistic, but actually supportive. She holds out a hand towards him, wanting for him to grab it, even if she's very far away from him. Her eyes begins to spark with CPU energy, Iris Heart is actually trying to speak with him! "Listen…" A voice that's not tired nor sadistic, but more in between, "...I know I wasn't being the most supportive CPU lately, but I really want you to succeed. You cannot let your training go in vain, I know you can do this. I got your back and… I believe in yoooou~" The last sentence, she returns to being Plutia once again, "...After aaaall… we all love you, Andy~!"
Plutia's voice echoes through to Andrew, it rings in his ears. He picks himself back up and pokes his head out from the fort, "Glue… let's do this!" Glue gives a yip and transforms into a gun "Let's rock." He cocks his trusty dogoo gun.
The first negite pokes out from his hiding spot and proceeds to fire at Andrew, which he darts his head back to his hiding spot, "Okaaaay… not as easy as I thought. Hmmm…" He begins to think long and hard about this, "I think… heh heh… I have to… just be quicker than him…" He nervously says, beading sweat from the side of his face, "I really don't want to kill them, though… they are no different from the mining negites, forced to do the nega CPU's dirty work…"
"Aaaaandy~" Plutia says to Andrew from afar, smiling, "...You need to get rid of these bullies~"
Andrew exhales, "Of course… Plutia doesn't care about them…but I do!"
One of the negites sighs and shouts, "Naaah… this is boring! Let's go get him, fellas!" Getting out of his position and charges to Andrew, "He can't take us all out at once, can he?!"
"Good idea! Let's get the bastard!" Soon enough, every negite got impatient and charges for Andrew, "Run away and we'll shoot you!"
Andrew makes a waterfall of sweat as they approach him, "Sorry guys, but I'm in a hurry." He's pulls back on his rifle and swings it towards Plutia, Glue turns into a long sticky hand and she holds onto it, pulling Andrew towards her. "Soooooo stupiiiiid!" He exclaims as he gets pulls along with the elastic dogoo hand, his legs try their hardest to keep up with the speed.
"Shit! He's getting away!" The negites shout, turning towards Andrew again as he successfully makes it to Plutia, "Hurry and kill him before the CPU sends Compa to cut us open!" They all cock their guns at Andrew and Plutia.
Andrew sees a red button on the side entrance of the door, "Hurry up!" He presses the button and the doors begins to shut, "H-h-hurry, hurry, hurry…"
Upon closing, the closing door actually catches a bullet in between, Andrew's eyes widen, "T-that… would never happen in my world… I'm so glad this world also follows the logic of Gamindustri as well."
Plutia looks into Andrew's eyes, "Andy…" She then immediately embraces him, "You did iiit~"
Andrew sheepishly chuckles, "Y-yeah… I didn't want to get past them that way, but at least I didn't have to take any more negite lives." He looks back, through the window of the door, he sees the group of negites… firing at each other, "Oooh… t-that's something I didn't want to see… I-I guess they would rather end their own lives than to suffer any more…" He gulps, quickly turning back to face Plutia again, he hears gunshots, "L-let's just continue, shall we?"
Again, hearing the gunshots doesn't phase Plutia in the slightest, "Okaaay~" grabbing onto Andrew's hand.
[A bit later]
Andrew and Plutia look around inside the tower, of course, they're no sign of the CPU or the oracle, because it wasn't the tower they were looking for, more like a midway point, they're almost there… but will it get any easier? Observing closely, Andrew can see some green goo running along inside pipes, "Hmmm… what do you think all this could be, Plutia?" He walks closer to a pipe and looks inside it, peering into it, staring at the green liquid inside.
"Hmm… makes me hungry… looks like gelatiiin~" She hugs behind Andrew, drooling on his neck a bit, looking at the green slime over his shoulder. "Feed me, Andyyyy!~"
Andrew blushes a bit, feeling Plutia nuzzle onto his neck, "U-u-um… I don't have any food on me, sorry…" He mentions in his head, "Aside from those shrinking mushrooms, that is more of a hindrance than a blessing right now." From telling Plutia this, she squeezes Andrew tighter, "I-I really don't... h-have any…" He looks over to see Glue messing with some kind of nozzle that expels the green slime, "G-Glue! Get away from that!" Glue licks it like a hamster licking a water drinker in its cage. The green liquid oozes out for the cute blue dogoo to drink, slowly and surely, Glue begins to glow green.
Plutia looks over as well and her eyes glisten, "Oooh, is the cute little dogoo thirsty? I'll give you even moooore to drink~" She goes over to a lever near the nozzle and pulls on it, "Theeeere~"
Plutia watches as Glue guzzles down the weird and possibly lethal green concoction, "P-Plutia! You might kill Glue giving him that much of that stuff! I-I don't even know what it even is, but it looks bad!"
"Silly, Andy…" Plutia says yet again, as she pulls on the lever again, turning off the flow of the sludge. "...your pet seems to love it~"
T-that's besides the point, Plutia. What if that stuff does something awful to him?" Andrew looks over and sees Glue all bloated with the green toxic waste, "A-are you okay, Glue?" beading a bit of sweat as he sees his blimped up dogoo.
"Dog...goooooo…" Glue utters as he begins to glow green and wobble as if he's transforming, his body begins to morph, getting bulkier and almost scaly looking, his face stretches outwards, making itself to be barrel shaped. He begins to grow feet, but not feet in the way that Andrew and Plutia has feet but are belted tires. Basically… Glue has transformed into a freaking tank! "Do-gooooo!" Glue cries out basically exclaiming, "Ta-dah!" In his tongue.
Plutia's eyes glisten as she stares at Glue's new form in awe, "Oooooh… Glue turned shiny~" She goes over to Glue, climbing on him and sits on his turret, "Can I… go insiiiide~?" The top of Glue's head opens and Plutia hops inside, "Whoooooa… Andy, I didn't know your dogoo can do thiiiis~"
Andrew's face contorts to confusion, "Uuuuuuuh… he can't, I think it's that stuff you fed him." Plutia begins to mess around with the controls inside the Glue tank and aims the turret at Andrew, "W-w-what do you think you're doing?!" Shaking like a controller on max rumble.
"Ooooh… this is so sweeeet, I can deliver a whole bunch of pain with thiiiis~" Plutia cups her face, blushing with joy and bliss, "How do I make it mooove~?"
Andrew gulps, "C-can I hop inside first before you start this crazy thing?" Climbing onto the tilted turret that Plutia previously turned, "W-whoooa, yeah, this is pretty sweet. I would never imagine in my entire life that I would be inside of a tank… and here I am. And everything else after arriving in Gamindustri, of course." He closes the lid on the tank and looks around, "Hmm, it looks like there are multiple controls for aiming the turret and moving, only one seat, though." He goes to take a seat in the dogoo made chair, "Huh, it actually feels like a chair." He takes a moment to relax in it, "Oh boy… do I miss comfort…" stretching his arms out on the control panel, resting them on it.
"Hey, I wanna sit, toooo~" Plutia pouts as she goes over to Andrew and sits on his lap, "Comfy~" she nuzzles against him, trying to get even more comfortable.
Andrew's face flushes red, "P-Plutia… u-u-um… c-can you…?" He finds it hard to speak as he feels Plutia's body nuzzling close to his own, giving him tingles throughout his inner being.
"Hmm… what is it, Andy?" Plutia lays her head on Andrew's chest and looks up at him, with her adorable eyes and innocent face staring right at him.
"A-ahem… c-can you steer the tank and I'll steer the turret?" Andrew asks the teasing goddess, trying to take his mind off of how much he enjoys her close contact.
"Ooooh, caaaan doooo~" Plutia agrees, with pleasure, as she leans forward and begins to put her hands on the controls, pulling up a lever. The tank begins to move forward, she then twists the hand of the lever and the tank begins turning towards the big door on the other side of the tower.
Andrew, from seeing what Plutia is doing, figures out how the tank moves, "Alright, so pushing up the lever sends the tank forward and twisting the handle up, which you just did turns it to the right. Which means pulling back the lever will send it in reverse and twisting back will turn it to the left. You got that?"
Plutia nods, continuing to steer the tank to the door, "Andy… the door's in the waaaay, can you open it for me~?" She frowns, "I wanna play with the tank some moooore~"
Andrew smiles, leaning to the right of where he's sitting and looks over at a little monitor that shows what Glue is seeing, and a joystick with a button on top, "With pleasure." Firmly grasping the joystick, he tilts the turret upwards and aims it at the door, he pressing the button on top with his thumb and… KABOOM! He fires a blue rocket shell at the door and blows it clean open, revealing the final destination, the big basilicom tower itself. But it's not cut and dry as Andrew and Plutia would think, as there are multiple metallic drawbridges that are raised up, closing a walkway that leads to the basilicom. Surrounding it is a moat filled with the green ooze that powered up their dogoo tank friend, the only difference is that it's steaming hot and very acidic, much more than the contained batch. And not only that but there is a watchtower, right next to the walkway. Looking at this gets Andrew thinking out loud, "How is anyone supposed to get across here by normal means?" He take a bit to let the answer come to him with some time, "Yeah, she probably is just as cruel as her subordinates."
Plutia, who is still amazed by the canine slime tank, nudges the tank a bit, putting it dangerously close to the edge, "Andyyy… can you get make this annoying thing go dooown...?" pouts the sleepy CPU.
Andrew shrugs and begins to climb out of the tank, "Well, sure I could, if you can protect me while I look for the levers to them." He gets in front of Glue the mighty tank, the watchtower has yet to spot them as the headlights don't go that far out, "It's probably on the other side so I would have to sneak over without being seen." He puts a hand over his forehead as he looks beyond the drawbridge, "Okay, don't move until I say so, o… KAAAY?!" Plutia nudges the tank against Andrew and almost pushes him into the moat of toxic waste, "...I'm trusting my life to a carefree and sadistic goddess… she almost killed me…" He sweats a little as he pushes himself towards the tank as he is just nearly teetering over the cliff, only his heels are touching the ground. "H-hey, Plutia… would it be better if you did this instead of me? I-I am only human after all and without Xelor, I'm basically the level one mob at the start of a game… compared to them at least."
Instead of a response, Plutia finds it best to 'persuade' Andrew… by nudging him off the ledge. He didn't fall in, though, he grabs onto the turret before falling in completely, "O-okay! I get it… but this kinda defeats the purpose of the rescue if I died, right?" Seeing that he's a bit closer to the other side, he uses the side of the tank, and whatever strength he can muster with his feet to push him forward, taking a leap of faith and bounds to the other ledge. Barely making it, he side steps to the drawbridge, "I-I guess this works, too. I'm going to have to stay far away from that searchlight, if possible." He goes to the opposite side from where he leaped and finds a crank lever, he begins to operate it, "Nnngh…!" He grunts, spinning the lever as fast as he could, knowing that the searchlight is upon him.
And with a loud thud, the drawbridge is down! Andrew lowers his arms, fatigue from the crank, "Ha… there we go… and only a few more left…" He hears something coming out from underneath the earth, or whatever the planet is called, he looks behind him and sees a horde of negites lying in wait, "...Good." The vibration from the drawbridge colliding with the ground only woke them up, and knowing Andrew doesn't stand a chance unarmed, Plutia charges with the tank, "I-I'd rather take my chances with the negites now, thank you…" Seeing her control it freaks him out because obviously, Plutia isn't known to be careful at all.
Plutia circles around Andrew, as he just turns around, looking at what she's doing and she just goes for the negites, her fresh target. She runs them over with the tank as it makes satisfying crunching noises, at least to her, "Mmm… crunchy crunchy~" She utters from within the tank.
Andrew can only but stare at what she has done, saved his life, yet scar it, as well, "...I'm soooo glad she's on my side…" As soon as Plutia is finished with her negite carnage, she rolls over to Andrew, only stopping right in front of him, scaring him even more, "I-I know she isn't trying to do this on purpose but I t-think deep down, Iris Heart is there somewhere…" He gulps, looking up at the dank tank and says nervously, "U-um… thank you, Plutia…"
Plutia opens up the tank and smiles sweetly at him, "Aww… thanks, Andy… I had fun playing here, let's go find some more fuuun~" She then looks up at the watchtower as it beams the light at her, "Oh… can you please not aim that at me… that's very rude and… I might get a bit angry…" The light making her a bit annoyed.
The negites from up at the watchtower saw the whole thing and considering that Plutia can easily shoot them down, they are too scared to even shoot her, "U-um… d-d-don't take this the wrong way but… you have the same kind of aura as the goddess… and… we are ordered to stop you, s-s-so… can you please just turn back? I-If we let you through, she'll punish us to death and if we try to stop you… YOU'LL punish us to death…" They turn off their searchlight.
"Goddess…? Oh… I'm one, too." Plutia says to the frightened negite guards.
Unknowing to the two of them, goddesses are actually a huge negative in the Negadimension, "G-goddess?! Damn it, now we have to worry about two of them?! W-we have no choice… we gotta… we gotta do it…" The guards open their windows and one by one, they just fall into the moat and let it take care of the rest, with it only leaving their skeletons intact floating in the goop.
Andrew's eyes widen, witnessing that, "Um… w-what was that all about? And how many suicidal negites are we going to find?"
Plutia puts a finger to her chin and asks in a puzzled tone, "Waaas it something I said…?" Completely oblivious to the fact that they killed themselves.
After a bit of pondering, it hits Andrew, "That's right… all the CPUs here are evil so they must have thought that you are as well."
"Aw… that's mean of them… I'm even not from heeere..." Plutia makes a little frown at the thought, "Oh weeell…" With it only lasting in a mere second.
Andrew sighs and due to being close to Neptune all the time, one of her little tricks rubbed off on him, "Alright folks, we're just going to go ahead and take care of the rest of these drawbridges and it'll be really tedious and possibly horrifying, so just sit tight and we'll be with you and a moment. In the meantime… Mr. Author will bring you back to the friends back in the Hyperdimension, and see what they're up to."
[Hyperdimension: Planeptune Basilicom]
Vert is still in the living quarters of the Planeptune CPUs, sitting on the couch, she continues to hold Remy in her arms, gently rocking him, "Are you comfy now, my sweet Remy~?"
Of course, Remy isn't having any of that, "No. Now let me go!" Crossing his arms looking like the little grump that he is.
"Now, I can't do that. I haven't converted you to the little sibling that I craved for so long yet." Vert speaks to the resisting negite child in a semi subtle sultry voice.
"That's exactly the point! We might be in a truce for now, but this doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with me!" Remy screams to the green loving CPU. "It could be a trap for all I know!"
Vert looks down at Remy, continuing that lovely, yet seductive gaze, smiling, "Why, Remy… I'm no trap. I'm sure you can look for that yourself, and after all… I have a-"
Neptune butts in at the exact right time, exclaiming, "WHOA THERE, VERT! This is a family friendly fanfic! And by family friendly, I mean suitable for lonely teens and young adults!"
"Well, I don't see a problem with it." Vert replies in a calm and casual tone, paying absolute no mind to the things she's doing.
"Well, I actually DO see a problem with it, titzilla!" Remy roars out in a fit of rage, growing tired of the well endowed, but not the titular CPU. "Just go and… whatever it is you f*cking do in your nation!"
Vert's expression goes sour again hearing the foul mouthed negite spewing his mouth, "Heavens, that won't do at all. Neptune, dear, would you be so kind as to fetch the soap again?"
Neptune sticks a finger to her chin, giving Vert a weary eyed expression, "Ya know… this has been going on for hours and you have cleaned my basilicom out of soap. I don't even have any left to take my dang bubble baths with!"
"That's the least of your issues, Neptune." A voice rings out in a robotic fashion, it was none other than Andrew's trusty watch, Xelor.
The two CPUs that are still currently here quickly snapped to Xelor's location, right on top of the coffee table, Neptune exclaims anxiously, "X-XELLY?! What's the scoop with Andy?! Is he alright?! Did he die?! Is he going to make it out of there?!"
Xelor makes an uneasy face on his monitor, seeing Neptune's face close up to hs screen, he moves his own offscreen, "First off, back away, and second… how am I supposed to know?! After so long, his traces are fading away from my systems."
The two frowns and they move away from Xelor a bit, "O-oh… I see…" Neptune says nervously, with her attitude beginning to sound like Nepgear from hearing this, she even begins to fidget with her fingers, "So… what did you even want to say? Anything good?" She makes a worried smile.
Seeing Neptune's expression, Xelor scrolls his face back to the center of the screen and gives an angry face, "Okay, just don't freak out, alright? My creator just contacted me and says that he hasn't sensed Andrew's pulse for a day and he worried. He is on his way as we speak. You might want to inform the rest of the CPUs."
"Oh my… do you think he's going to take our Andy away from us?" Vert states, trying to keep herself calm saying this.
Neptune, however, is feigning her positivity through her words, "N-no! It'll be fine! Andy will come back before Vox gets here, right?!" She goes over to Vert to try to get her to agree with her, "R-right?"
Vert shakes her head, "As much as I want to believe that, I'm afraid that Vox, being Andy's grandfather, he might be furious with us once he finds out." She gives a long pause, "...Especially when he despised us so."
This freaks Neptune out some more, "Ulp…" She gulps nervously, beading some sweat from the side of her face.
Xelor gives Neptune a bored expression, "Just contact the other CPUs, alright?"
As if in a trance, Neptune just stood there with her eyes quivering, Vert gets up, walking past Neptune and says, "I'll inform Histoire to contact the others." Heading to the sharicite room.
Xelor gives a nod and says, "Just stay calm, Neptune. My job is also on the line so if I can be calm, you can."
Remy does nothing to help and laughs at Neptune, "She's gonna get her ears chewed off by that old man!"
Hearing that, Neptune's face becomes pale, Xelor sighs at the rambunctious negite, "You aren't helping. Neptune… hear me, if you like, you may… hold onto me if you feel discouraged."
Neptune quickly snatches Xelor from the coffee table and holds him close to her face, "T-thanks, Xelly…"
Xelor's little face on his monitor begins bouncing around the screen, "Error! This scene does not compute! We need to turn away immediately!"
[Negadimension Planeptune]
After Plutia and Andrew took care of the little negite mess, they make it to the last bridge inside the basilicom itself, just with only one drawback, "Looks like we can't fit the tank inside. Mind waiting for me here, Plutia?" Andrew asks the alternate Planeptune goddess, "I know I'll be on my own from here on out but… I don't think I have no choice…" He exhales, giving a weary expression.
"Goooo for iiiit, Aaaandy~" Plutia cheers for Andrew, lazily putting an arm in the air, "I'll look for another way iiin…"
Andrew regains his composure thanks to Plutia's morality boost and nods to her, smiling, "Sounds like a plan." He turns back to the entrance to the evil basilicom that more looks like a lair than a basilicom.
[Inside the Negadimension Planeptune Basilicom]
Inside the basilicom, there's an empty room with a reflected floor and nothing much else, really, just a stairway to the next floor from the looks of it. Andrew gives the room a thorough inspection and since he's by himself, he's more focused, "Hmmm… yep, I'm pretty sure someone's going to show up if I step any further, might as well rest a bit before that happens." He begins to stretch his arms to the ceiling and shake out his legs, "Oof… yeah, that's much better… alright, I guess I shouldn't let her wait any longer. I'll keep going ahead." He begins to walk closer to the stairway.
Nothing seems to be popping out at him yet, which worries Andrew, "Can't let my guard down… I know that something's going to come up, this room looks so much like a boss chamber." He stops to think about something, "Funny… I feel more relaxed than I ever was when I'm with any of those girls. People in general kinda make me nervous sometimes." He chuckles to himself about that, "Especially when they're cute like them…"
He walks a little bit closer and since he called it, right in the middle to where he's standing, a voice begins to play on an intercom, "That's as far as you're going to get, I'm afraid!" Hearing the voice, it's not the goddess yet but Nega IF.
"Why not just wait right there and let us cut you open and paint the walls with your guts~?" The other voice in the intercom was for sure Nega Compa as both of them are still alive and kicking, they begin to come out of a secret passageway that opened up in the wall. The stairway leading up gets sealed off by an electrical forcefield. Nega Compa and IF begins to giggle as the two of them pull out their dangerous killing equipment, their trusty scalpel and whip respectively.
Andrew beads some sweat as he remembers a very important fact, "D-damn, I'm unequipped…" As he doesn't have neither Glue nor Xelor. "And summoning Glue would be a baaad idea right now…" He adds on in his head, backing away from the two murderous Nega makers of Planeptune. He suddenly has a surge of brilliance as he remembers that he does in fact have a weapon of sorts, he stops and readies himself as he lies in wait for the two to approach him.
The two catches note of that as they see Andrew's expression changes, "Oh… he actually has a secret weapon up his sleeve. Might as well humor him, it's not like he'll actually do anything to us." Nega IF says as she lowers her whip, "Go ahead and give us your best shot, it'll be the last one you'll get before we close your eyes… forever!" She follows it up with an evil laugh.
"I'd rather gouge them out~" Nega Compa adds on as she joins Nega IF for an evil laugh duet.
Andrew gives a running start at the two, getting ready to do his secret technique, "Here I…" He begins to dash off in between the two nega makers, "...go!" He doesn't even have a weapon at all, he's just… rushing towards them.
"Wow… I think he's willing to die now. Hahaha! What an idiot! This is going to be fu- mmf?!" Nega IF gets caught off guard as something gets placed in her mouth.
And not just her, but Nega Compa as well, Andrew has placed something in both of their mouths as he has both his hands to their mouths, as he is standing in between them, he says to the two, "I hate to waste these but you two left me no choice… I was going to use those!" He pulls his hands away from their mouths and wipes them clean with his jacket.
Both of them… eats them up, they wait for the effects to kick in but they do not, "HAHAHAHA! Were you trying to poison us?! You f*cking fail at that, too! Compa… let's kill him, now." Nega IF and Compa inches closer to Andrew.
Nega Compa licks her scalpel as she inches it towards the unphased watchless GPU, "Finally…. I get to see what a boy looks like from the inside~"
Andrew crosses his arms and begins to count down with his finger, looking to the side, not even looking at them, "Three… two… and… one…"
POOF!
The two of them shrink to small sizes as whatever Andrew fed them worked its magic, "W-WHAT THE SEVEN HELLS DID YOU DO TO US?!" Nega IF screams as she notices she is too small for her clothes.
Nega Compa too, is freaking out, "HOW AM I GOING TO CUT YOU LIKE THIS?!"
Andrew looks at the two, laughing, "I can't believe that even worked! What you two just ate was a 'just shrink mushroom' that I acquired from the Hyperdimension… works wonders, actually. Now that you two are in harmless sizes, you don't pose any threats now. Now…" He begins to walk towards the shrunken sadistic makers, "Should I just make you two old taco figurines?" He begins to grin just as sadistic as either Iris Heart or the Nega incarnations of Compa and IF. The dimension is obviously getting to him… bad.
He quickly snaps out of it, though, "W-whoa… what just came over me there…?" He scratches his head, almost forgetting what he's supposed to do, "O-oh, that's right… I better…" And… the two Nega Nep friends are gone, "W-where did they go?" He looks around the floor for them, "C-crap, this isn't good... " He spins around in a circle, surveying the floor and finds no sign of them, "Wait…" he looks down at his feet and finds the two on his shoes, "U-uh… p-please don't do anything bad." He gulps as he looks at the two, looking like they're plotting something devilish.
"Oh, don't worry… we won't~" Nega Compa says before crawling over to Andrew's ankle, she is plain naked as well as Nega IF, she summons a regular sized syringe from her inventory, and she pulls up the edge of Andrew's pants, "I'm just here to give you your shot~" She makes herself sound like normal Compa but with a hint of sadism, because Andrew knows full well that she's no good.
Andrew tries to shake her off, "I-I don't want a shot… I hate shots!" He gulps as his efforts of shaking off Nega Compa were to no avail.
"Gotcha~!" Nega Compa exclaims as she drives the needle into Andrew's ankle sinking the 'medicine into his system, "Okay~! We're done here!" The two of them jump off of Andrew's feet and she waves at him, "You can go on ahead, now~!"
Andrew obviously yelped at the pain of the shot, but… it was just like a normal shot, in fact… Andrew feels nothing after it. "Uh… okay? W-what's the catch?" He shrugs at the two.
Nega IF giggles a bit before replying, "No catch, just… don't trip over yourself." And with that… the two leap away from the room and out of Andrew's vision.
"O...kay. What was that all about? What did she mean by 'don't trip over myself'?" Andrew calmly turns around and heads on the way forward.
(A couple minutes later)
As Andrew walks along a dark corridor of the basilicom, he begins to start to feel funny, "Ugh… f-feeling all woozy… e-everything's getting all double vision on me… oof!" He falls to his knees and stops himself from falling completely with his hands, his arms begins to tremble with fatigue, "I-I feels so weak… as if… I need to lie down…" His arms give out as he falls on the floor, he looks at the wall ahead of him as his eyes begin to get heavy, "S-so… tired… c-can't… s-stay… awake…" He closes his eyes.
And that's the end! For this chapter at least, don't worry… Andrew's fine… for now, that medicine's not lethal, right? Right? Well then, what will happen for Andrew and Plutia and what awaits Andrew for when he wakes up, if he does wake up? Find out next time! And I'm not going to reply to any reviews this time, but instead an update on this story: Yes, I'm not abandoning it, I wasn't trying to put it on hiatus, I just never had a feeling to write any for the life of me, and if I tried to force myself, then there won't be any emotion into what I write. I think if it wasn't for the fact the OVA came out and brought me out of my severe writer's block, well, it would have taken way longer By that way… I liked the recent Neptunia OVA, I will rewatch it when it gets dubbed. Well, any way… happy reading and look forward to more later on!
