Hyperdimension Neptunia - A Time Soldier's Final Mission.
Chapter 12:- Revelations, Time Traveller and Purple.
Shadic: Chapter 12!
Archy: At last .
Shadic: What you saying!? I got here first!
Archy: This time...
Shadic: Meanie...
Archy: START!
Shadic: (mumbles) Not again...
Disclaimer: You'd have thought if we owned HDN we would've made at least SOME of this canon eh? :D So, Molly Polinsky and Time Traveller are Archy's while Purple is Shadic's ^^
To clarify - We don't own HDN :)
The following morning came eventually. The Sun had rose over the lands of Gamindustri and consequently Planeptune as well.
Purple woke up at the feeling of her stomach demanding to be fed. As she opened her eyes, she came across the sleeping face of Molly.
Purple groans. "...Huh" Right, last night wasn't a dream... Eh...
This could be a problem...
Both of them were on bed, only covered by a blanket...
After around 5 minutes of Purple's breathing on Molly's face, eventually the former soldier started to wake up. First her head felt like it was throbbing but it quickly subsided due to the share energy she was now using. She hummed in a groggily-like state as her eyes slowly opened. They were more aquatic blue then they were grey. Which, again, might be an effect of the Share energy.
Purple softly smiled as she saw Molly's eyes open. "...Mornin', Molly"
Molly mumbled in her sleep. "Morning... What..." She yawned. "What time is it?"
Molly whispered as she rubbed her eye with her right hand, her left currently holding onto the blanket.
Purple blinked. "At a guess? Mhm...Ten or Eleven in the morning"
That was considering her hunger's condition.
Molly groaned and then stopped as she noticed the condition they were both in.
"Are you saying...Wait... Did...Did...we...?"
Purple giggled. "It was awesome~"
"...But, I'm still underage...so...Yeah, it was practically a crime."
Molly took in an uneasy breath. "I won't say a thing, if you don't."
Purple nodded. "Okay, sounds good to me!"
Purple looked a bit sheepish. "Molly?"
Molly looked to her. "Mmm?"
Purple pecked her in the lips.
She blushed slightly.
Proceeding said act, the Demi-Goddess stood up from the bed, not caring or - More to the point - forgetting she was naked, and made her way outside the room.
"I'll make us some breakfast!"
Molly didn't have the energy NOR the motivation to argue so she just closed her eyes again. '"kay Purple..."
Closing the door, Purple walked out of the room.
Molly was just there...thinking of her actions, the consequences of stuff and how her life would change now.
"I think... If everything goes without her saying that we... yeah, then, maybe it'll be okay. I just wish I could've spoken to Time Traveller one more time before I ended my career..."
She sighed. "No time to worry about that! I'm in a peace time now..." "And while that may be odd-..."
The smell of something burning caught her nose.
Purple's squeal could be heard for a long range from the kitchen. "No, please not here too!"
Molly chuckled.
"Sounds like that goddess' daughter alright... Hang on Purple, I'm coming. Dexter!"
The Computer System came to life. "Owner, I am glad you survived."
Molly rolled her eyes. "Ain't that the truth, help, my Purple until I get there okay?"
The computer system, lovingly called "Dexter" beeped in acknowledgement. "Roger. She is burning Eggs and Bacon..."
Molly sighed with a smile on her face. "I'd have thought cereal would be easier..."
"She spilt that in a sink..."
Molly facepalms. "Great... Alright, tell her I'm coming..." Feels a breeze through the window go right up her spine. "Brrrrr, right after I get dressed."
"By your orders."
After getting dressed, she entered into the kitchen to find Purple wearing a cute apron with the words: I tried with all my power. Written all over it.
She looked to be on the verge of crying as well.
Purple whispered. "How am I going to explain this?"
Molly cleared her throat. "You don't have to." She walks up to Purple and wraps her arms around her partner's waist. "You should've said you didn't have much experience in cooking..."
Purple sighed. "I...I wanted to surprise you with something good but..."
Her "food" was served in a plate in front of her. It was black, it didn't have form and it was moving.
Molly chuckled.
"Perhaps you should ask Dexter to help next time?" A soft smile as she kissed Purple on the cheek. "Now, get yourself something nice to drink - I'll take it from here."
Purple nodded. "...Hai!"
She walked to the fridge...still wearing nothing but that cute apron.
How she didn't feel any cold is a mystery that will never have answer.
"...Get dressed after you get something to drink. You must've forgotten..." She giggled.
Purple blinked. "Eh, I forgot something?" She was completely oblivious to the problem.
"This isn't anything like my magic but... It's just as good." She points at Purple and a blast of Ice cold air goes from her and to Purple and around her. "Maybe you should get dressed?"
She smirked.
Purple didn't seem affected by the cold. However, looking down, her face turned red as a tomato.
"Y-Yeah, I'll go do that...thanks"
Molly laughed. "I'd rather not have to slap your butt in public..."
She winked and went to work on the breakfast, changing the black mess into something a LOT more appetizing.
Purple returned to Molly's room and found her clothes on the ground beside the bed. She smiled.
It's true she had some experience before...however, in one of those she was drunk, her first time drunk, and in the other...she wasn't really looking forward to it so it wasn't magnificent or anything similar.
Actually, she could dare to say that Molly was her real first.
Grabbing her clothes and putting them on, she felt happy that things turned out fine in the end...Oh, yeah
"Computer?"
A digital voice answered her. "Yes Miss Purple?"
Purple put a finger to her lip as she tied her skirt on. "Yesterday you said there was a message for Molly, could you play it to her, please?"
"I'm sure she's good enough to see it now"
"It was more a transmission, however, there is a more real time transmission for her. I'll connect her to it now."
Purple nodded. "Thanks"
"Anything I can do for you in the meantime?"
Purple bit her lower lip. "She's fine, isn't she? The change of...her being connected to the Sherecite won't change her, right?"
Computer System beeped after a few seconds. "The Sharcitie is giving her the same level of power as before, but it will mean she tires out slightly more quickly than before. Her powers will be, different, but she won't change in personality, no"
Purple sighed happily. "Oh, okay, that's good. I thought she may have turned into a different person like the HDDs of the CPUs"
Computer System came back to life after a few more moments. "Perhaps this would be the best way to explain. Think of the original power source like a battery. The Sharicite is charging said battery. When the original power source went flat, she needed the Sharicite to recharge and sort out her power, to make her breathe normally again. Owner, Molly, has been through a lot of stuff... Even some files which are classified. Only for her commander to really touch. Her "Time Sword" will most likely never return, but she has alternatives should things get difficult in future. She won't FIGHT as such but she will defend herself or you if needbe."
"I see...but she must not think like that! If she finds herself in problems she can count me with me too!"
"You are the first one who took a pro-active step to being with her, Miss Purple. And I am sure she... Well, it is not appropriate for me to say this, I'm sure she loves you more than her first love now."
"...Even if that's true, I'm sure there's a part of her that still loves her. Which is fine, it means she was able to...move on"
Dexter's face appeared on a screen. "You must be worried about Owner a great deal to want to make her change her ways of being a soldier and to be honest, I don't blame you. Time Traveller, her commanding officer, never wanted her to enter all THREE wars, including the Chaos War which was the one before Gamindustri was founded - According to my records. She lost her mother at the same time the Original Goddess departed for the realms known as Celestia."
Purple felt her mouth open. "Wow...she must have gone through a rough life...And...she lost Crystal on the first one, right?"
"You are correct, Miss Purple. Crystal, or Crystal Sunlight as she was known..." The screen pulls up a picture of Crystal - A girl with Golden Blonde hair, almost silver in places, golden eyes and a general phsyique that almost matches Molly's but Crystal is slimmer than Molly.
"They were 'inseperable' before the first war, Crystal's last dying wish, and that which her commander also shares, is this - They wanted her to settle down and stop fighting. You're the best thing that's happened to her so far to be quite honest."
"... Receiving... Okay. There's a transmission from Time Traveller coming through - It's addressed to you, Miss Purple."
Purple blinked. "Huh...eh...connect me?"
She wasn't an expert in machines and thus didn't have the most proper terms to use.
"Acknowledged."
The Screen switches to a digital screen which is showing someone setting in a seat in a very tidy and organised space. The person sitting in front of the screen is someone with an aged male face but has a eye scanner on his left eye, a full leather trenchcoat and several items that are floating behind him. His name is Time Traveller.
"Greetings. I understand you are Purple? The one that has helped Molly thus far?"
Purple gulped but put on her serious face. "I haven't helped her that much, if anything I feel she has helped me more than I've helped her..."
Time Traveller nodded his head.
"Regardless. She loves you and you reciprocate those feelings?"
His voice sounds half machine half man and to many evil entities he would scare them off.
Purple nods. "Yes...I do, I can't explain it but, whenever I'm with her I feel at peace and being around her is fun and warm...Though, that only makes me feel she deserves someone better than me..."
He chuckles.
"Nonsense. All her former comrades are either settled down or working with me on this ship. Crystal is long since gone, however, you and her seem to be the ideal connection. Or "couple" if you want to say it like that."
His scanner almost seems to scan Purple from wherever in the Cosmos he may be.
"I have some important information that you must consider. Are you ready to hear this? It is about you, while Molly knows this, she didn't want to say anything because she was afraid of losing your trust."
"She is a very delicate person. She got involved in the war just by pure chance."
"..." Purple then shakes her head. "Then I don't want to hear it. I'll wait for Molly to tell me, I don't want to betray her trust in any way. Besides, the only thing that could make me lose my trust in her is if she turned out to be my Mother...who I still need to kick in the nuts in accordance to Pops last wish"
"Hmmm... I know who your mother is, Molly told me. However, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say anything."
He nodded after a few moments more.
"Molly may want a child one day, you have to keep that in mind. While it is not appropriate at THIS particular stage, it may be something important to remember later on down the line."
Purple took in a breath. "But...we're both gi ... Oh-Yeah, I would like to adopt one as well"
Time Traveller shook his head negatively. "Irrelevant. The Share power could do that for you both."
Purple nodded then stopped. "...Really?"
"Yes. I am surprised you don't know this already, but Share Energy, if it is inflated to a large enough extent, it can be used to create... Life."
Purple pointed at him. "But that only happens with people's belief...not with, eh, relations...right?" She regrets not having any sort of education now.
"Incorrect, you can create life with enough energy... Which I am sure you both almost have."
Purple nods. "Oh...I see. Well, if one day she's ready, I may be ready as well. I'll ask if I can be the Pops of the relation~" She said in a daydream state all of a sudden.
"Since...I only know how a Pa must act."
Time Traveller chuckles. "Molly is normally a 'mother'-type in my opinion."
Purple nodded her head. "Yeah, I also got some vibes of it"
"However, I think she and I still need to time before thinking of it"
"We met no more than a week ago after all. I love her but, I also want to take things at a normal rate. And children...they're a big step. I'm sure we both need some more time before thinking of it"
"Agreed. I was informed that Molly has watched you for quite awhile, but if you've only OFFICIALLY met around a week ago... Then you need to be careful. If Molly is burnt, she may end up being a soldier on this ship until she can't move anymore. I don't want to bring her back into the world of soldiers but... If she loses faith and trust in what yourselves are doing... She may drift back this way. I don't want it, but you can already tell what she's like - A carefree wind."
Purple blinked in shock. "She's been...me..."
She shook her head.
"I understand, I'll do my best to keep helping her out! "After all, what kind of person would I be if I don't help out a loved one?"
Time Traveller nods his head.
"At least you haven't abandoned her. Just - DON'T. Like I said, if things fail with you, she may swear allegence to the Time army... and I don't want that - I don't think you want that either do you?"
"If it means her returning to that old life style then I don't want it"
Time Traveller smiled a bit. "Good. I don't want that for her either. There are some people who are destined for this kind of life, and she's not one of them I feel."
Purple nodded rapidly. "Yeah...she's too nice to possibly be in there...I can feel it."
He offers a slightly bigger smile.
"At least she hasn't put her faith in a fake. You sound like a genuine help for her. Be with her, but most of all... Make sure she feels LOVED. That's about all I can say on the matter."
Purple waved her hand. "Don't worry, I may not be the most intelligent one there is, but I think I can easily understand how the concept of love works. And how I must act as her partner."
The commander nods his head.
"My time in her life is over. She may call for me, but when she does - Be sure she needs me. I cannot answer her all the time, for instance. I have an armada to command. And its a peace keeping one at the moment. Which I would like to say it will forever be that way. But you know what the "time" is like." He chuckled.
She looked puzzled. "N-No, I don't...I'm not that intelligent"
Time Traveller narrorwed his eyes at Purple. "Not everything can be peaceful. There will be times when war will break out. And to that end, if it ever does again - Don't let Molly,anywhere, near it. Not even if she demands it. I cannot be responsible for another Time Soldier death..." He sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll get her out even if it means knocking her out!"
He smirked.
"Be careful with that. She may be weaker now she's on Share energy, but she won't be easy to stop. If you need my help, don't hesitate to call upon me... Use that with caution, however."
The demi-Goddess nodded.
"I will, you can count with me"
He nods.
"Glad to hear it. Now, from the sounds of it..."
Molly's soft singing can be heard in the background.
"It sounds like our-... Or, rather, YOUR soldier is finished with her cooking. Go and be with her, she needs you by her side. Don't ever give up on her. You hear me?"
Purple nodded with a defiant smile. "Don't worry, I won't!"
He bows his head respectfully to Purple.
"It was a pleasure speaking with you, Miss Purple."
She bowed as well
"Same thing, Mister Time Traveller!"
Time Traveller looked to his screens around him. "Imagine Purple Polinsky... You can invite myself or my mother to your wedding if you wish. But, make sure to speak it through with Molly one day."
He winked and chuckled at the same time.
"You can call me Micheal. My "real" name. Time Traveller is just a codename. It's for security reasons really. Sayonara, Purple."
His connection with the Computer System switches off and the computer comes back to life.
Dexter: Time Traveller has cut the connection.
Purple smiles. "Purple Polinsky...sounds like a good name, don'tcha think?"
Dexter: All probability points to - Yes. It does.
"Welp, then better go with my girl"
Purple felt a bubble of excitement in her that she hadn't felt in a LONG time. "I...I'll be honest, I never really thought I would be able to say those words"
"It makes me...happy"
Dexter: You deserve Happiness, Miss Purple. It is what Time Traveller meant after all.
"Yes and I'll be sure to make her happy as well!"
With those words she left the bedroom, and went to Molly's side in the kitchen.
Molly was singing as she had laid out the table. It was almost a full on feast with Bacon/Eggs/Cereal/Scrambled Egg and even some chicken in a very fancy looking way.
Her mouth was making saliva as she looked at the table filled with food. She shook her head once and returned her attention to Molly.
"It looks delicious, all of this looks fantastic!"
"Erm... Thanks Purple. I wanted to make s-sure you didn't starve..."
Purple chuckled. "Molly, you didn't have to do this much"
She walked up to her and gave her a peck on the lips.
"If you were left still hungry, you know you have me in here"
Molly stutters. "Th-Thanks... I m-m-mean it..."
She sat at the table and motioned for Purple to take the seat opposite her.
"After all this food, I may have to sleep..."
She giggled softly despite herself.
Purple nodded. "I would get why...we slept pretty late last night, didn't we?"
Molly smirks.
"I wonder why..."
Purple nodded. "And your body isn't completely used yet to the Shares so I guess that also must make you a bit tired, right?"
"Though, I think the first reason must be the real cause~"
She grabbed a spoon and took a good part of eggs in it
She then started moving the spoon towards Molly.
"Here comes the plane, say 'AAAHHH'~"
Molly laughs lightly. 'Really?' She thought then she thought, 'Meh, I'll play with her... Like I did last night...' She blushed slightly.
"You really are silly... Okay, I'll do it."
She opened her mouth with a big, "ahhhh!"
Purple placed the spoon inside of her mouth, Molly closed it and began to taste the food she cooked.
The demi-Goddess smiled at the sight, and while a part of her wondered about the thing Molly was hiding, another part (the greater one) didn't really care of it.
Molly smiled widely and swallowed before picking up some scrambled egg on a fork, pointing it at Purple.
"Your turn..."
Purple complied and opened her mouth.
"Ahhhh"
Molly placed the fork very gently in Purple's mouth, tilting the fork upwards so the scrambled egg all fell off, and gently pull it from Purple's mouth.
Molly had a goofy smile on face, she felt so happy and yet... She felt a slight bit sad, for some reason. There was definately some melancholy in her eyes, but what was holding her back?
As Purple swallowed the food, she smiled before an idea rose in her mind.
"Alright, here comes the special mysterious plane, close your eyes to receive a mysterious food~"
Molly blinked.
"...Eh?"
Purple's spoon gestured at the number of different dishes they had.
She meant it as: close your eyes, I'll feed you one of them but you're not allowed to see which one.
Molly nodded and slowly closed her eyes.
"Just... Don't pick a spicy one... I know there's one in there somewhere..."
"Okay~"
A moment later she spoke again.
"Open wide~"
Complying Molly felt nervous, but trusted in what Purple was doing.
Purple placed both hands on the table to lean forward and give Molly a kiss...a surprise kiss. Molly let out a surprise squeal as she leaned into the kiss and probed Purple with her tongue.
The Goddess managed to move her body besides the one of Molly without breaking the kiss and with Molly still sitting in the chair.
Now Purple was leaning forward as she kissed Molly, who was still on the chair, the two of them 'tasting' the other.
Placing her hands on both of her cheeks, she tried to deepen the kiss a bit more. The former Time Soldier leant backwards as the sensations began to overwhelm her. One of her weakness' showing - Being kissed. Molly "hummed" into the kiss as she placed both her hands around Purple's body, enjoying the sensation. They stayed like that for a minute before they finally broke for air.
Purple panted a little due to lack of air. "D-Did I make a good choice in food there~?"
Molly giggled and panted.
"I'll say..." Another pant. "You know how to take a girl's breath away..."
She smiled even though she was blushing.
"Well, I just do my best"
Molly let Purple go as she kept her warm smile on her.
"Alright, now... eat some ACTUAL food before I strap you to a chair." She giggled. "And force feed you myself... And it won't be nice." A playful glint in her eye.
Purple gulps. "Understood, Molly"
Molly heaved a bit big of a sigh as she remembered something.
"I need to train later... I think I've been a bit too... Lapse. That...And my friend's memorial day is coming up..."
She shed a tear that formed ultra-quickly.
Purple blinked. "Huh, you'll go out out to train?"
She was barely able to catch on in any that Molly said.
Molly nodded. "Long story..."
Purple smiled. "No need for it, Want me to join you?"
Molly eyes Purple with a bit of concern.
"You can tag along, but I don't want to cause you to be hurt by my training..."
"So maybe not...I'll be okay."
She smiled if a bit... off-puttingly
Purple eyed her annoyed. "Molly, I'm not a kid. I'm sure I'll be fine"
Law states she IS a kid.
Molly blinked. "How old are you again?" She raised an eyebrow.
Purple answered a bit too quickly. "Sixteen!"
Molly giggled. "Then you're a kid."
"According to Gamindustri standards anyway"
Purple scoffed. "I'm not a kid, a kid wouldn't be a tough worker in the Guild and have completed over thirty A-Rank quests by herself!"
Molly rose an eyebrow. "IF's done more than 50+ A-Rank quests, been with the Goddess', and so on apparently and she's only 17 from what I remember"
Purple opened her mouth. "...She's a year older than me! Just you wait, when I'm seventeen I'll have done the double of that!" All those were blatant lies...
Molly nodded. "Uh-huh...Well... Why don't you prove it to me?"
Molly's entire body seemed to stop moving for a few minutes.
A few moments later, the Shares came and she moved again.
"Damn thing. I wonder why the Sharicite can't power me PROPERLY!"
Purple offered some advice. "Maybe because there are...eh, three Goddess, I think they were three, in it already? It has to power four beings. So...it would make sense it isn't perfect, right?"
Molly eyed Purple quite closely. "You know something?"
"I didn't tell you this before but... There are actually FIVE Goddess'. And a LOT of candidates for those positions. You, for example, are the child of one of the goddess'. I was wondering when the best time to tell you would be."
She stands up, moving Purple to her own chair, and moves to go past Purple.
"Speaking of which... I need to meet with someone, stay here 'till I get back. Please... I don't want to worry about you... I don't think my heart will take it - based on what we did."
Purple opened her mouth to argue then shoveled some food in. Thinking. "..."
After a few more moments she swallowed. "My Ma is a CPU?"
Molly stands next to Purple and places a hand on her shoulder.
"... The short version? Yes. I need to get going, or I'll be late... So, do me a favour. Eat the food." She smiles warmly at her.
"I'll be back before you know it." She winks, lets go of Purple's shoulder and heads out of the door.
Purple just sat there almost speechless. Until...
Purple slowly nods. "Y-Yeah, good luck on it, love ya."
Molly stops by the door and nods.
"Love you too, hon."
She heads out of the door - heading to a cafe to meet with Purple's mother and tome at the same time as she had planned with the tome previously. 'She'd better be out of the hospital in time for our meeting, or I'll KILL her...'
She stopped a little down the road. "Maybe... I can't risk killing her before Purple's met with her... Or, Purple would try to kill me..." She giggled. "I can just imagine it... Hold it yo- Oh, crap... Really?" Molly kept on muttering to herself as she headed down the streets to the cafe.
