After the clock struck twelve, the party of the century ended. We all went our seperate ways, cleaning up after ourselves. I walked into the building I had come to call home and made my way up to our level. When I reached it, a very drunk Histoire floated to me.
"Heeey, Kenji." she droned, giggling randomly. She was drunk on red wine! The worst drunk there was! I sighed. "You are gonna have one helluva hangover." I said softly. She giggled like mad, but had enough consiousness to float over to the counter and land before she conked out.
I sighed, laying on the couch and conking out.
When I awoke, I looked over to Histy. She sat up, looking around. "What happened?" I sighed, replying, "You were drunk." She looked down, realizing she was in her nightgown, and she looked at me, red as a beet. She leveled her hand at me: "Ex nay on the atford Way!" A bolt of magic flew at me. I flew off the couch, and she darted off.
Neptune walked in. "Geez, one helluva party. I'm really sore from my performance yesterday." she groaned, stretching. She sat down on the couch. I got off the floor, groaning. I decided to cook my friends breakfast. I moved to cut up an onion to throw into a skillet with some eggs.
As I chopped the onion, my hand slipped, and the knife sliced into my good hand, hitting bone. I dropped the knife, blood coating the blade. "Son of a bitch!" I shouted, going over to the sink and washing my hand. Ow. Compa was at my side in a heartbeat once again. "What's wrong?" she asked. I sighed. "Just cut myself like an idiot." The healing factors kicked in, and the wound closed itself up instantly.
Neptune stared at me. "Is anybody gonna clean up that blood?" she asked. Bless this mess. The bloodstain vanished, and you could barely tell anything happened. Histoire floated into the room as I threw everything into the skillet. She said nothing as she landed on the counter next to the stove. She was now wearing her proper uinform. I soon finished the breakfast, and set it on the counter.
Sitting down on the couch, I sighed. Suddenly, off in the distance, I heard the sound of metal hitting whatever the walls are made out of. I opened one of the windows and looked out. A blue robot stuck to the building, taking pictures of whoever was unlucky enough to be showering right now.
I used my grappling hook to yank the robot through the window. He landed on the couch with a thud. Neptune jumped. "So. you've been spying on us, have you?" I snapped. The robot looked up. "I was just getting a picture of Lady Uni!" he protested. Said caniddate walked in. "What's up?" I wordlessly showed Uni the photo. "This robot took some photos of you." I replied. Her eyes went huge. "EEEEEEEEEK! P-P-Pervert!" she shrieked, kicking the robot over and over again where the sun don't shine. The robot backed off. "Five-Greed-"
I snapped my fingers and the papers he was throwing burst into flame. The robot froze. I then cast electric magic, causing the robot to collapse. Steammax. "Who sent you?" I said carefully. Steammax shrugged. "I don't know." he replied. Bad answer. I held up the photos he took. "Tell me, or your photos burn." The robot lost all composure. "Ok, ok, I was sent by Rei, she told me to get info for Magic, that's all I know!" he cried.
I looked to the others. "Get him to Basilicom. Uni, the photos are yours. Do what you must." She nodded, walking off. The robot was dragged off. I had even more questions. Suddenly, it hit me. Steammax was talking about CFW Magic! Panicked expressions appeared as others came to the same conclusion. Neptune sighed. "Now this is an Avengers level threat. Go get Nepgear."
I walked to Nepgear's room. I was not gonna repeat the same mistake I made earlier. I pulled out an airhorn. I knocked on the door a few times. Nothing. I gave the airhorn a hearty squeeze.
I heard a shriek, accompanied by clothes rustling. I sat by the door and waited. Nepgear's head poked out. "Come in, I've been expecting you." She guided me into the room, sitting down on the bed. She motioned for me to sit down next to her. I did so. She sighed.
"So, you heard the news?" I asked. She nodded. "I never thought I'd hear that name be mentioned ever again." Nepgear sighed. "Kind of a shocker." I nodded. "So, what do we-"
Suddenly the building shook, knocking over books and shelves. I fell onto Nepgear, ignoring the fact that I groped her by mistake. I got up and looked outside. There sat CFW Magic, floating up to me and Nepgear. And the felon had a bone to pick with Nepgear, for some reason.
Neptune stepped into the room. She glared at Magic, looking rather pissed. "You shouldn't have come here." she snarled, acting off-character. Magic laughed. "I just came to put all of you into the graveyard." I growled. "Not if I have anything to say about it!" I retorted. The felon turned to me. "Oh? A male counterpart? Did Nepgear finally get a boyfriend?" Nepgear blushed. "No way!" she replied, transforming.
Suddenly, a gold wave knocked her off her feet. She screamed, before she hit a wall and went limp. I rushed to her side. "Oh, no, no, no, no..." I whispered. Magic chuckled. "You seem to care for her. But you waste my time." Gold chains flew at me. I dodged them. Magic frowned. "Impossible." she muttered, just as my friends began to fill the room.
"Fine. I don't need the leaders- all I need is you." I was taken off my feet as I felt myself falling, into a void. I hit ground, and I lost consiousness.
When I awoke, I got up. I was surrounded by broken televisions. Consoles that never sold. Rip- off games that were never played. I came to the horrifying realization- I had been sent to a bad place. For the first time in a long time, I was truly alone. Afraid. In this hell they called Gamindustri Graveyard.
