The Rookie
Location: Lowee's Basilicom
Six days after drop...
It's been a very long walk back to Lowee, Rookie and the girls took a few breaks including the night on the hill during the journey back. The twins fell asleep for the whole walk back as they arrived to Lowee, they reached to the Basilicom and met up with Mina as she noticed them.
"Welcome back you five" She welcomes them then she noticed Rookie was carrying the twins. "Hmm? What happened to them?" She asked with a surprised look on her face.
"They're been fighting the Killachines to save us time to escort the Mascot" IF then further explains everything that happened, talking about the Morkanaut named Beauty and the Dark discs which surprised Mina.
"Dark discs?" Mina raised an eyebrow and tilted her head.
"Yeah, Miss Mascot told us that the Dark discs contained very powerful monsters" Compa explained.
"Still, we don't know how they were made though..." IF pointed.
"That's unfortunate..." Mina sighed then the twins who were being carried by Rookie are waking up, they stretched their bodies then both yawned.
"*Yawn~* Are we there yet?" Ram asked as they rub their eyes, when they slowly open their eyes, they saw Mina in front of them.
"Good morning, Mina..." They both greeted the Oracle but it was afternoon...
"Children... It's afternoon..." Mina corrected as the twins' eyes snapped open then blinked.
"Eh?" Rookie soon let's go with Rom as Ram jumped off his back but landed on her butt. "OW!" Ram yelped.
"Goodness, are you okay, Ram?" Nepgear questioned as Ram got up.
"Of course, I'm okay, dummy" She glared at her as she dusted her clothes then looked away.
'Aww~ She still calls me dummy...' Nepgear's head dropped down.
"Any who, I am eternally grateful. You all saved Lowee from an incredible disaster" Mina bowed before them.
"All in the name of protecting the land that my wifeys live on. Don't mention it" RED did a hero pose while she's smiling as Nepgear nodded.
"She's right, don't worry about it. We were able to get the Mascot's assistance by helping us, after all" She noted.
"Then, I am glad that your hand work bore fruit. Are you all planning to leave right away?" Mina asked then IF nodded.
"Yeah, we're all done here" This made Rom a bit sad.
"Miss Nepgear... Mister Rookie... You two are leaving?" Rom sadly asked but for Ram...
"Meh..." She doesn't even care...
"Yes, but I'm sure we'll meet again" Nepgear responded as Rom was almost started to cry. "Please don't look sad. This is supposed to be a happy goodbye" She then smiled at her as she looked at Rookie even though she can't see his face, he nodded.
'Don't be sad, Rom. We'll come back to hang out someday' Rookie silently promised, Rom then wiped away her tears and gave them a nod.
"Okay..." She smiles back as for Ram, she watched them and was disgusted.
'Gross me out! Why is Rom getting lovey-dovey with her?! I'm fine with Rookie but that CPU dummy... I don't like her one bit!' Ram then glared at Nepgear.
"I'm sorry that we can be of no further assistance" Mina bow down, apologizing. "But allow me to wish you luck on your journey"
"Thanks!" And then they all say their goodbyes to the Lowee's Oracle and the CPU Candidates which Ram watched them, didn't speak a word. After they left, the twins' stomachs growled loud enough that Mina can hear it.
"Geez~ After beating up those things, it made me hungry~" Ram whined.
"So... Hungry..." Rom repeated.
"Well children, after you two done something heroic. How about some snow cones with Lady Blanc's favorite snow cone syrup, hmm?" Mina decided to give the twins a reward for helping Nepgear as they burst into joy.
"HAAAIII!" They both cheered as the Oracle smiled at them, they all walked their way to the kitchen to get some desserts.
With Rookie and the girls...
Meanwhile, Rookie and the girls were walking down to Lowee.
"Where to next?" Nepgear asked for their next destination.
"Leanbox... There aren't any CPU Candidates there, but they've got to have a Mascot over there" IF determined that there'll be a Mascot at Leanbox.
"Leanbox, huh, nyu?" Broccoli has a surprise look on her face then Nepgear's N-Gear started ringing.
*Riiinnng!* *Riiiinnng!*
"Oh! My N-Gear is ringing. I bet it's Histoire..." Nepgear guessed as she took out her N-Gear and answered. "Hello?" And she was right.
"Hello, Nepgear. How are things progressing?" Histoire asked.
"We secured the help of Lowee's Mascot and we were just about to head down to Leanbox" She explained.
"Excellent timing. I just finished a call with Leanbox's Oracle, Hakozaki Chika" The Tome said the Oracle's name. "It would appear she's anxious to meet you as soon as possible"
"Me? But why?" She asked with a surprised look on her face.
"I do not know but she did sound to be in great need. I recommended that you make haste to Leanbox" She recommended and Nepgear nodded.
"Okay, we're on our way" She then hangs up and putted her N-Gear away as she looked at the group. "So... Did everybody hear that?" They all responded with a nod as IF thought of something.
"Hmm... What would the Oracle want?" IF questioned but shrugged. "I guess we'll find out after we arrived..."
"Yep. How do we get to Leanbox from here, though?" Nepgear asked.
"We could take one of the ships that go between Lastation and Leanbox. We'll get there in a jiffy!" Compa smiled.
"Alright! Let's g- Wait a minute... How long till we get to Lastation?" RED asked them.
"Well, it took us a couple of hours to get here so, it'll be the same to get back to Lastation" IF answered as RED stares at her with a twitching eye then felled onto the snow.
"I think RED fainted, nyu" Broccoli guessed as she was staring into space for a few seconds then screamed.
"EEEHH! How the hell do we get there without walking all the way back?!" RED loudly questioned as they looked at each other.
"We might catch the Lowee's train express, it's not far from the Basilicom" Compa suggested then RED suddenly recovered.
"Alright! Let's go catch the train!" She fistpumped into the air and ran ahead of them as IF rolled her head around, they followed RED to the train station.
While Rookie was following them, it's seems that Histoire not only contacted Nepgear but to Rookie's COM.
"Can you hear me, Rookie?" Histoire spoke in his COM which surprises him.
'Histy? I thought you hung up on Nepgear's N-Gear...' Rookie pointed out which gave her a little giggle.
"Have you forgotten that I can contact you on your COM?" She questioned.
'Oh... Must have forgot about that...' He sweatdropped.
"How's the progress after you first died?" She then questions yet again.
'Anything's fine, I'm getting to like the twins as same as Nepgear' He honestly answered. 'Well... Ram's a bit annoying, though...'
"Yes, Ram usually get playful with her sister and she's a prankster, doing pranks mostly on Blanc and other people" Histoire explains about Ram's personality.
'Oh... That's good to know...' He sweatdropped.
"And I heard that you promised that you give them some ice cream, correct?" She asked.
'Yes, have you been watching me?'
"As I said, I record history" Histoire repeated. "If I recall, Chika informed me about a shooting star coming down into Planeptune. I told her about it then..." And she went silent.
'Then what, Histy?'
"It is best that you go to Leanbox... I will see you back when you secured the last Mascot" The Tome informed him.
'Okay. Goodbye, Histy" Rookie said his goodbye to Histoire as she responded back.
"Goodbye, Rookie" Then she hung up as they reached to the Lowee's Train Express.
Back at the Planeptune's Basilicom...
Meanwhile, Histoire was in a dim-lighted room with a small bright crystal with a power symbol in it, the room is filled with light blue hexagons and other symbols, rotating like a big ring around the crystal. She watched the crystal closely and see if it collected enough shares to free the Goddesses but it only got a handful to the crystal.
"*Sigh* It is seem that the Sharicite won't be ready anytime soon..." She sighed. "After having a conversation with the Chika, I did not know that Rookie is a game reference to their nation..." She honestly said to herself.
"I wonder what her reactions meeting Rookie, face to face..." She wondered... Wanna what happened during their conservation?
A couple of minutes ago...
While they were talking about the shooting star that came down into Gamindustri, Histoire stated that it was a vortex and who came out of it was an ODST, Rookie.
"Wait, wait, wait, hold the phone. Did you say... ODST?" Chika asked her.
"Yes..." Histoire simply answered.
"What's the ODST's name?" Then she asked again.
"John Doe, he rather be called Rookie"
"...You mean 'The Rookie'" She repeated her sentence.
"Yes..."
"The Rookie?"
"Yes..."
"The one who is a silent type?"
"Yes..."
"The one who fought through-"
"Please, what are you trying to say?" Histoire cuts her sentence with a tick mark.
"I'm trying to say that the Rookie you told me IS the real Rookie from one of our top selling series?" Chika asked, being suspicious.
"*Sigh* Yes... He is the real Rookie..." Histoire answered.
"I hope you're not lying"
"I will never lie, I record history" She honestly pointed.
"Alright... You know what. I want to meet him, face to face" Then Chika paused for a second. "I'll be calling off, I got some paper work to deal till my darling Vert arrives"
"Okay. Goodbye, Miss Chika"
"Cya later, Histoire!" They both said their goodbyes and hung up as Histoire sighed.
"I have never expected her to question me that much" She sweatdropped.
Back with Rookie and the girls...
As the group reached to the Lowee's Train Express, they brought tickets to go to Lastation. They caught a train which it headed to the next nation, they sit on the seats face to face together as Rookie and Nepgear were siting togther with Broccoli on Nepgear's lap with her Gema and in front of them was IF and Compa with RED sitting on Compa's lap which she really enjoys relaxing on her breasts...
"Ahhh~ Your boobs are so soft~" RED quietly commented which everyone blushed of her comment as she snuggled on her breasts more with a happy grin on her face.
"Th-that's v-very n-ni-nice of y-you..." Compa trembled as her face was deeply red.
"Okay, that was random..." IF commented which she tried to hide her jealousy on her big breasts.
"Yeah, nyu..." Broccoli agreed.
"Hey Broccoli?" Nepgear's caught her attention as she looks at her. "I was asking... Did you know about Leanbox?" She asked her and Broccoli nodded.
"Well, I haven't visited Leanbox yet but they've changed overtime, nyu" She explained.
"Yeah, Leanbox was a fancy old style city compared to the other nations. Back then, we visited Leanbox to find the Key Fragment and meet with Vert right, Iffy?" Compa then remembered and asked IF.
"Yeah..." IF suddenly went depressed which caught Rookie's attention.
'Why is IF sad about?' He wondered as he doesn't know about their backgrounds.
"What's wrong, something happened?" RED asked as she raised off Compa's breasts and stared at IF.
"*Sigh* Well... It started when we returned back to Leanbox's Basilicom, the Evil... Whatishisname invited us to a party but he pulled me into a conversation and I was forcefully tasked to poisoned and kill Nep..." This shocked everyone especially Nepgear.
"What the goodness! Tasked to k-kill Neptune?!" Nepgear's eyes widen in shocked.
'Dear god...' Rookie has no word about this, IF forced to kill her own friend. 'How cruel of those bastards' He growled but calms down, he wanted more about the background.
"That was... Shocking, nyu" Broccoli also has no word with RED agreeing with a nod.
"Yeah... He gave me an ancient poison bottle as I walked away. I was shockingly stunned enough that I ended up meeting Vert" IF explained.
"Oh yeah. You were a big fan of Lady Green Heart back then" Compa reminded her.
"Heh, I was a fan of Vert. I got her email but I was too distracted to see Vert that I forgotten the poison" She further explained. "Then... We went to that party..."
Flashback...
A couple of years ago, inside the old Leanbox's Basilicom as it was a European castle. IF, Compa and a small kid-
Neptune: NEPU?! I'm not a kid, Ace!
You do look like a kid, Neptune...
Neptune: You're a meanie, Ace~
Anyway! The girl who is known as Neptune wears a big white hoodie-like dress with purple striped cuffs, lining, and a purple hood. She wears her lilac shoes with blue and white accents and were also worn with blue and white striped stockings and... That's about it... She's only got a hoodie to cover her bra and panties... Nothing else... But the three girls weren't alone, they were accompanied by small, weird looking and walking plants.
One is a sunflower with red goggles and a black suit with a white leaf symbol on it, it has also a cute and smiling face. The other is a purple hooded pea with a cannon, it wore a purple cape with a gold medal with a leaf symbol, it's face is covered with a dark purple mask with a big leaf hanging down. The other was a big and chubby potato figure with a red sphere tesla on its head with a grinning buck tooth face, it has a big pair of pants with a red belt which has a green leaf symbol in the middle. The other one was a tall mushroom with limbs and a wide purple cap, it wore a black scarf with a gold medal with a leaf symbol attached to it. And lastly, there is a cat-like plant with lily-pads under its body while it has a cat face with ears and a tail with a red spike on the end, it has a brown fedora on its head.
As the group arrived at the door which leads to the dinner room.
"And so, our heroes have arrived to the party..." Neptune narrated.
"What was that narration for?" Compa asked.
"Yeah. It sounds like we're in a comic strip or something..." The sunflower pointed as it on Neptune's right shoulder.
"Oh, it's nothing, Summer" Neptune smiled.
"I wonder what food they stored for us, today?" The purple hooded pea asked who is on the floor.
"Don't know, Penelopea" The mushroom stated. "But I hope it's better than Summer's food" Then he offended Summer.
"Hey! My food's not that bad, Yuuto!" Summer shouted and the chubby potato giggled. "Don't join in, Spudow!"
"Can we just move on, guys. I'm really hungry" Neptune pointed which stopped the plants' argument as they looked at each other and nodded, then Neptune opened the doors to the dinner room and what they saw was a table filled of delicious meals.
"Mmmm~ The food looks so good~" Compa was drooling out of her mouth.
"*Gasp* Neko! They got fish for you, girl!" Summer pointed at a plate with a grilled fish as Neko, the Cattail, its eyes sparkled.
"Meow!" Neko jumped into the table and started eating the grilled as the others takes their seats and began eating.
"Ah~ It's tasted so good~" Summer began eating like a lawnmower.
"Indeed, their food are quite high quality" Yuuto commented as both him and Penelopea respectfully eating. As the plants enjoyed their meal, Neptune and Compa looked at all the food at the table but IF was very suspicious about the food as she saw the Evil Whatishisname as she recalls him, coming pass them and stands beside Neptune.
"Well, hello there. Are you enjoying the meal?" The elder asked her as she looks at the elder.
"We were just about to dig in with them" Neptune responded as she got a bright idea. "I know! Can you recommend us something? There's just so much to choose" She asked the elder as she continues. "Asking someone who knows is the key to eating the right food!" She stated as the elder smiled.
"I'm glad you asked! Let me recommend the food coming out now" And after his sentence, a chief came out of the kitchen and put a serving tray with a delicious meal on the dinner table as the elder walks up to it. "This here is the Doggang Muck Special, 'Truffle Caviar Delight'" He introduced the meal. "Made with fine, local ingredients only available here in Leanbox" He explained as Neptune's eyes sparkled, drooling.
"Ahh-h~ Yay! Now that's my Leanbox! This is going to be good!" She cheered as Summer stared at her, running towards the meal then she frowned.
"Hey! Save some for me, Nep!" She followed her to the meal and jumped on Neptune's shoulder.
"Wow! How was this plate made?" Compa asked the elder.
"Fresh truffles and cavair delicately arranged by Sir Muck" He then further explains. "We then have olive oil poured on by Sir Sten Biller. A true delight!" He commented.
"So, none of the chefs did anything... And the flavour is only from olive oil?" IF wondered.
"Who cares? We're gonna take this big piece" Neptune and Summer took the big piece and half it as they readied to take a big bite. "Here we go!" As they slowly putted into their mouths, Yuuto stopped and stared at the meal Neptune and Summer were eating.
"What's wrong, Yuuto?" Penelopea asked.
"I'm sensing poison in that meal" He whispered as his eyes narrowed.
"Wait up, Nep, Summer! Don't eat it!" IF warns them but it's too late.
*Chomp* *Chomp* *Gulp* They both ate the big piece as they both stared at her.
"Hm? What's the matter, Iffy? Did you want that big piece we took?" Neptune asked as IF didn't respond.
"Well it's too late, Iffy. We ate the big piece right, Nep?" Summer responded.
"Yup! Nice and comfy in my stomach already" Then both high-fived.
"I think you're too protective, Yuuto..." Penelopea muttered.
'...Wha-? Did I... Think wrong or something?' IF wondered but right after they high-fived, they stood there, frozen...
"Ummm... Why is Nep-Nep and Summer stopped?" Comps questioned but what they weren't expecting with they both fell onto the ground.
*Thud!* The rest gasped at the unconscious Neptune and Summer.
"Nep/Summer?!" Both Penelopea and IF shouted in shocked as Neko ran to Summer.
"Nep-Nep and Summer fell over! What happened?!" Compa widen her eyes and questioned as IF and Yuuto glared at the elder.
"Evil-idon'tcareyourname! You did this, did you?! You poisoned Nep and Summer!" IF yelled which shocked Compa.
"P-poison?!" She trembled as the elder nodded and frowned.
"Exactly. But now we know not only she's truly tainted by evil but your plant friends as well" He stated.
"Poison can't tell between good or evil! Of course, Nep and Summer be affected!" IF pointed as Compa ran to Neptune and shook her body.
"Nep-Nep! Can you hear me?! Answer me, Nep-Nep!" She began to shed tears as she shook Neptune's body harder as for Neko, the cattail purred in sadness, against Summer's unconscious body. The plant's reaction was nothing but shocked and sadness from Compa, this is unacceptable for them.
"This... This is unacceptable!" Penelopea's eyes glowed in anger. "How dare you poisoned our friends?!" Her voice yells through the room which jumped the girls.
'Pen-Pen is s-scary...' Compa trembled yet again.
"Yeah, and IF's right! Poison is a weapon, not an object that tells who's good or evil!" Yuuto added as the plants readied themselves. "You got five seconds to explain yourself before I throw this spore right into your face!" He threatened.
"That won't be necessary" The elder responded.
"What are you sayi- Ahhh!" Then he got hit by a paralyze shot as well as the rest of the plants then the Leanbox guards along with the Leanbox soldiers who has some kind of spoof of the UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform.
"Freeze and don't move!" One of the soldiers shouted.
"Men! Capture these people!" The elder ordered. "They are followers of Overlord Momus!" He reasoned.
"Yes, sir!" The guards obeyed as well as the soldiers, the soldiers picked up the unconscious plants... Well they having problems with Spudow, it needed almost all the soldiers to carry him.
"Bloody hell! This guy's heavy" One of the soldiers commented.
"Wha- What are you doing?! This is all a horrible mistake!" IF reasoned with them but they didn't listen, the guards handcuffed them as Compa resisted.
"OWWY, AHH! LET ME GO!" She shouted as she was taken away.
"You! You're coming with us!" One of the guards then pulled IF away as well.
"Wait! Ouch! Please! Let us go! Compa! Nep! Summer!" She called for them.
"Stay in prison. Your faith should be cleansed by the time you are released" The elder scolded and they were taken away.
"So, what happened next, Iffy?"
Present...
RED asked her, wanted to continue the story but IF decided to stay silent then Compa continued the story.
"Well, we got in jail but Lady Vert bail us out and help us get Nep-Nep and Summer better again" Compa happily ended the story.
"Is that it, nyu?" Broccoli asked.
"Yup!" Compa announced.
"That's quite a dramatic story" RED commented.
"Yeah..." Nepgear agreed. 'I wonder why Neptune didn't tell me her story...' She wondered then the voice from microphones on the train spoke.
"We are approaching to the city of Lastation, I hope you enjoyed your travels with us"
"Welp... that's our cue" IF stood up as well as the rest. "Let's take a ship and go to Leanbox so we can find the Mascot"
"Yeah, before that Underling gets there first..." RED added. "So, what time till the ship departs?" She then asked IF.
"Not sure, let me check..." IF pulled out one of your phones and check the departure times. "The ship gonna sail out in sixty minutes. So, we can able to catch it in time" She stated and the others nodded.
"Okay! Let's get a move on, ladies!" Then RED ran to the port.
'She does realise that I'm a male...' Rookie noted as the others followed with haste.
Meanwhile at the Lastation's Port...
"Geez, about time I got time off from my job" Linda relieved as her and Warechu were walking through the port as it looks like a futuristic port with glassed walls.
"Yeah, after failing to destroy the Mascots three times, chu" Warechu noted.
"Hey! I destroyed the Lowee's Mascot!" She corrected.
"And they fixed and sealed away the Killachines, chu" He added.
"That was unexpected from them, you rat... Also, why are you doing here?" She questioned then something was ringing.
*Riiinnng!* *Riiinnng!*
"Hang on, someone's calling me..." Linda pouted as she pulled out her phone and answered. "What?"
"Hello, Miss Linda..." A low tone voice spoke through her phone.
"Oh... It's you, Mr. Iforgottenyourname..." She responded.
"It's Spectre, Miss Linda..." Spectre corrected.
"Yeah, whatever. What do you want?" She questioned.
"I've been informed that the Planeptune's CPU and her friends are heading to Leanbox to secure the last Mascot" He explained as she pouted.
"So, you want me to destroy the last Mascot?" She questioned yet again.
"Yes but... We're giving you a little gift from your boss..."
"A little gift?" She raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Yes... And there'll be a huge event going on at Leanbox but that's not the case... I need you to capture the Oracle, my troops and Warechu will support you once you're arrived at the Basilicom. I will bring further instructions after you capture the Oracle... Spectre, out" Then he hangs up after explaining the objective to Linda as she sighed.
"Now that want me to go Leanbox?!" She then complained. "Damnit, what about the time-off request I submitted?" She questioned.
"No vacation for members who keep failing. You should be happy that ASIC hasn't canned you, chu" Warechu pointed.
"Yeah, whatever. I don't really care about that, but I'm now pissed that I gotta work with a chump like you!" She scolded.
"The feeling's mutual. I hate working with underlings who aren't sexy at all like you, chu" He scolded back.
"Who you saying ain't sexy?! And don't you fricking DARE start calling me an underling, too!" She shouted.
"Ahh, shut up! Once an underling, always an underling, chu!" He stated which pissed off Linda.
"That does it, you stupid rat! I'm gonna-"
"Huh? Shhh! I hear a voice..." He silenced Linda as he listened carefully.
"Wait up, please!" Then Compa's voice was heard as Warechu noticed with his eyes turned into hearts.
"C-could that be the lovey serenade of angelic Compa?!" He questioned as Linda's surprised.
'Crap! They're here, already?!' She then grabs Warechu's tail. "Come on, you rat!" And she pulled him as they went to the ship quickly.
With Rookie and the girls...
"Oh, there's our ship! Let's go, everyone!" RED and the group were running towards the transport ship, keeping up the pace... All except Compa who is breathing hard out...
"W-wait for me, please... *Pat!* *Pat!* I can't run that fast!" Compa loudly stated.
"Compa, start exercising, nyu..." Broccoli sweatdropped.
'Jeez, I didn't expect her to be slow. Her body's well fit...' Rookie examined her body as he wondered. 'Does she have asthma?'
"Stop acting whiny..." IF soon received a pouted face from Compa as she rolled her eye. "Come on, if we miss the ship, the tickets we brought are useless" She stated.
"Please push yourself, Compa" Nepgear begged as they continued to run towards the transport ship.
Later...
Unfortunately, due to Compa slowing them down, it was too late as the transport ship set sail to Leanbox with a loud horn.
*CHOO!* They have to watched the ship moving away from the port.
"Awww~ And there it goes..." RED pouted.
"We were so close~" Nepgear's upper body dropped in disappointment as Compa walked up to them, puffing like a dog pulling the owner's leash...
"I *Pat!* Ran... *Pat!* So fast! *Pat!* I need *Inhale!* Electrolytes..." Compa felled but Rookie caught her. "Thanks, Rook-Rook..." She thanked him.
'Geez... What a life saver...' IF commented as she sighed. "*Sigh* We'll have to catch one tomorrow. I hope this doesn't come back to bite us in the ass..." She hoped but what they weren't expecting was a laugh from Linda.
"Ahahahaha! I'd feel bad for them if they weren't so damn slow" They saw Linda and Warechu on the ship. "Man, they really suck, huh?!" She questioned.
"My lovey Compa, please hurry! So, we can enjoyed our honeymoon rendezvous together, chu!" Warechu shouted as Compa widen.
"Miss Underling! And Mister Mouse!"
"Don't tell me they're heading to Leanbox, too" IF doubted.
"Hehehehe, we'll go ahead and start the party without you broads! Sit back and watch the fireworks" Linda walks away but Warechu still standing there.
"Compa, my angel! I'll be waiting for you, so please come and see me real soon, chuuuu!" Then he was pulled away.
"We can't let them beat us there! Come on, let's chase after the ship!" RED demanded.
"But there aren't any more ships leaving port today..." Nepgear pointed.
"...Yeah... It's biting us in the ass, all right..." IF then sighed again. "Let's get ourselves a room from the hotel nearby" Everyone agreed and walked away, hoping there'll be another ship leaving tomorrow.
Somewhere in an Unknown location...
Meanwhile inside an unknown underground facility, there was a man with robotic arms, he wears black and silver armor that covers most of his body except his head and his arms. He has black, scruffy hair with a scar, crossing his right eye which is a futuristic eye and he has a symbol of a red skull on his chest. He was inside a huge room, standing in front of a hologram table showing the city of Planeptune as he plans something big... I mean BIG...
"May I come in, General?" Another yet a robotic voice spoke behind a locked door.
"Yes, come in..." The man granted as he unlocked the door, a robot appeared from the door with a clipboard on its hand. "Status report, Beta"
"Yes, General Spectre" Beta nodded. "The troops are already at the hanger, General" He stated.
"Good... Where's the assassin?" Spectre asked.
"He's coming right now, General" Then a black hooded person came with a SRS Sniper rifle on hood back.
"You need me, sir?" The Assassin questioned.
"Yes, I need you to eliminate this person" Spectre gave the Assassin a picture of a female, she has fair-pale skin with bright pink eyes and a mole below the left one. Her blue hair is about elbow in length and worn straight, with bangs that stick up from the center and spike downward to frame her face. She has black headphones with silver and pink accents and a small black microphone attached to the left ear piece as she wears a bikini top and ruffled skirt.
"What's done is done" The Assassin puts the picture inside his hood.
"You'll wait till the event starts, if you success, it will bring chaos in Leanbox" Beta explained. "Join up with the troops that are preparing to depart" He ordered as the Assassin walked away.
"Beta... How's the progress for Phase 2?" Spectre asked.
"Phase 2 will be prepare soon. I spoke with CFW Magic about Phase 2" Beta noted.
"Does she questioned about our true identity, Beta" He asked yet again.
"No, General. We're lucky for now..."
"Good. You're dismissed" Spectre sent Beta away as he switched the hologram city of Planeptune to an unknown machinery. 'Only time will tell when the Devastator is up and running' He thought.
Author's notes:
And that's a wrap.
Neptune: I'm still upset that you called me a kid...
Oh, come on, Neptune. Even though you're a kid, you're still a close friend to me.
Neptune: Aww~ That's nice of you, Acey~
Yup, yup!
[Quick note]
The flashback was a sneak peek towards one of my Suburbia Stories series.
And yes, there'll be a couple of sneak peaks towards other stories.
