Nepstation
Hello again everyone! It's your favorite main character again Neptune! Mr. Author Guy wanted me to host this Nepstation so that he could finish this chapter on time so without further ado, I'm going to answer these two questions!
ChangeHeart, From what Mr. Author Guy told me, he's NOT going to have it link with your story, so there's that, which I've been sneaking peeks into your story by the by.
For the one that involves my other games, he said that he was not going too, he's already come up with something for all the other things and let's be honest here, this story hasn't really stayed on part with my first game, sure there's a couple references, but it's not on point.
Anyway, that's all for Nepstation! See you next time!
Chapter 32
Hikan's POV
I was running through the forest where Ozaki told me where the fake Blanc was, my speed has increased so much thanks to this power I have, my left eye was still hurting, but I am able to fight through the pain, I will not stop until I find that damn fake!
I was right beside the cave where the hideout was,"WHERE ARE YOU!" I yelled as I ran, my voice started to change as well, the only thing I had on my mind was to kill this fake, my eyes were also glowing red.
"You really are an idiot aren't you." a voice said, this voice I don't remember, I turned to my left and saw a woman, she was a little taller than I was, she had pale skin and her eyes were red, same as mine, she wore some kind of witch hat and had goth make-up, her outfit choice was some type of black cloth, to be honest I can't really explain it that well, but she had black knee high boots as well, I know her name too…
"Arfoire…" I called out, she smirked when I said her name,
"You remember my name, I should feel honored knowing that an amnesiac like you would remember me." she stated, I glared at her,
"I don't care if you're honored or not. I will give you one last warning, give Blanc's power back and I won't kill you." I warned and Arfoire started laughing,
"Kill me? You don't stand a chance, don't you know that you're surrounded?" she replied and I looked around me, in the trees I saw shines of light, most likely snipers aiming at me from the trees, then a bunch of different guards came out with assault rifles and aimed at me,
"Hmph, of course, I also forgot that you couldn't fight anyone alone, did you have Saito take control of Blanc so that you could take her power?" I asked and Arfoire waved her hand at me,
"It's called strategy, you're the idiot that decided to run off alone, now then Hikan, I'll say this only once, hand over the CPU's and yourself peacefully, and we'll make sure we won't hurt you too badly." Arfoire suggested, I started smiling, then started laughing,
"...Ha. Ha. HAHAHA!" I started to laugh maniacally, "Like I would ever do that. I would rather die." I stated and Arfoire cracked a smile,
"That can be arranged, everyone fire!" she stated and bullets could be heard, I would of let them off the hook if they wouldn't try and attack me.
I vanished from sight and appeared again behind some of the guards in the trees, they were looking around the area I was originally in looking for me,
"Hey." I said and they turned around, I grabbed one guard by their neck and took his sword from his side and tossed him aside, then I slashed at a guard to my right and he fell over immediately, another guard charged at me and swung his fist, I stepped back and made him miss, then grabbed his neck and started to twist it, it snapped instantly.
"Your little peons can't kill me." I stated, I walked back into the area where Arfoire was, holding the same guard by the neck and dragging him behind me, "So, are you gonna send more of them to their deaths? Or are you gonna try and fight me yourself?" I asked Arfoire, she just stood in the same spot and laughed,
"Ha ha ha haaa! You can't fool me Hikan Masato. I know your weakness, because I've been observing you this whole time!" she said, I tilted my head, my weakness?
"Enlighten me." I replied casting her a glare and she started laughing again,
"I hope you remember Shizuki." She said, my eyes widened, what did she do to her?!
"What did you do with her!" I yelled, Arfoire smirked,
"I see I hit your weakness, we have her in our possession, if you surrender, I'll let her go." she said, I let go of the guard's neck and stared at her, is she serious…
"You… have Shizuki... " I muttered, I clenched my fists and it felt like my left eye was about to explode, I couldn't think straight.
"Yes, surrender now and we'll let her go." Arfoire repeated,
"Fine. I surrender-"
*Bang!*
I fell over on my side and laid there, blood was shooting out of my side and it wouldn't heal, I couldn't speak either, my ears were ringing too.
"You idiot! You really think that we would just hand over Shizuki?" Arfoire said as she walked up to me, I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw her smiling over me,
"..." I couldn't speak still, Arfoire looked around the area,
"Find the others! We'll end this here and now." she stated and walked away then I heard footsteps running away from me, two guards were left and they walked over to me,
"Heh, so much for the great 'Hikan Masato', Saito said you meant business and yet you were taken out by a bullet." one of the guards said, the other guard walked in front of my face,
"He's still alive, should we have a little fun?" he asked with a smirk, the other guard cracked his knuckles,
"Lets." he stated as the guard in front of me lifted his foot and kicked me square in the face, I flipped over and grunted in pain, they both got their swords out and stabbed them into my hands, pinning me to the ground,
"This is much better!" the guard said as he crouched over me and punched my face repeatedly, I spat up blood and looked up at the guard,
"I'll...KILL...you!" I struggled to say, but only got a kick to my ribcage, "GAH!" I yelled in pain,
"Doesn't really look like it." the guard taunted, my left eye was in excruciating pain, why did it hurt this much!
"FUCK OFF!" I yelled as I saw my hand spark fire, the sword immediately melted and I grabbed the guard's neck, completely burning his skin off and killing him slowly…
"What the hell are you?! Some kind of demon!?" the other guard yelled as he pulled out his gun, I threw the now dead guard in my hand over towards him and grabbed the sword that was stabbing my other hand, "ARRRGH!" he yelled in pain as I stabbed him right through the abdomen, blood spilled out on my hands and he fell over with the sword still in his stomach,
"Arfoire… I'm coming for you…!" I muttered as I held my side and walked into the cave that led to the hideout…
Shizuki's POV
"..." the wind was blowing my hair to the side, I was still in Lowee and I was on top of the cliff overlooking the city, I couldn't stop thinking about Hikan…
Tears formed in my eyelids again, that last thing that he said to me… "you're nothing but a pain in my ass!" that's what he said, did he really not like me…
"..!" my eye started to react and turned into a glowing purple color, what is going on?! This only happens if… oh no!
I started to see a vision, I was now looking through someone else's eyes, Hikan's eyes.
In front of him was Arfoire, she was smiling and staring back at Hikan, who i'm guessing is using his power,
"What did you do to her!" Hikan yelled, who was this "she"? Probably Neptune…
"I see I hit your weakness, we have her in our possession, if you surrender, I'll let her go." Arfoire replied, they have Neptune held captive? Again?
"You… have Shizuki…" Hikan muttered, wait… he's looking for me?
"Yes, surrender now and I'll let her go." Arfoire replied, no Hikan is being tricked!
"Fine, I surrender-"
*BANG!*
My eye returned to normal color and I was sitting there wondering what happened, Hikan was looking for me…
"What should I do?" I asked myself, Hikan was in trouble… But if he doesn't care about me, why should I help him?
No, I shouldn't think like that, if he didn't care about me, he wouldn't be out here looking, Hikan… I'm on my way!
I got up and started running towards the forest, he was near that cave entrance from what I saw in the vision, he could still be there.
I was about halfway there when I heard yelling, followed by footsteps chasing someone, I didn't have the time to stop and see who it was, but from the corner of my eye I saw someone running with Blanc over their shoulder, it was some guard with blonde hair, I don't know who it could be, but Blanc was shouting at him.
"Put me down! I need to help Hikan!" she yelled, but the guy refused,
"No! That's what they want to happen! I can't let them get you too!" he yelled and kept running, I would have given chase to them, but I just want to find Hikan, I need to know the truth, from his own lips.
After a bit of some stealth work, I was in the area that Hikan met Arfoire, I already saw two dead guards, one with a sword in his abdomen and the other had his throat completely burned off, Hikan really is using his power.
"Hikan…" I muttered, was he seriously looking for me? If he was, then it must be true that he cares about me, but I heard rustling to the bushes to my left, I looked over and stared at where it came from, was it Hikan?
"Shizuki?! Is that you?!" a familiar voice yelled, it couldn't be…
"N-Neptune?" I called out and out of the bush, Neptune appeared, why was she here?
"I can't believe it's you! This really is the best decision I made!" she said puffing out her chest in confidence.
'What do you mean? What decision?" I asked and Neptune smiled,
"I decided to follow Hikan, just to make sure that Blanc and him don't do anything extreme, but I ended up seeing something completely different." she replied, Blanc and him? Doing something extreme? "Besides all that Shizuki, would you please tell good ol' Nep why you left?" she also asked, I can't really say right now…
"I… can't say. Hikan is in danger, I- no we need to help him." I answered and Neptune nodded,
"I say he is, I was watching the whole time, I would've jumped out to help him, but for some reason, I couldn't move from where I was." she replied,
"Do you know where he went?" I asked,
"Yeah, he went in that cave over there, he muttered something like 'I'm coming for you…" she said mimicking Hikan's voice as best she could,
"Alright let's go-"
*BANG!*
We heard a gunshot come from the forest, by the sound of where it came from, it was where Blanc and that one guy were running to, something bad must have happened,
"Hey, Shizuki? Can we go check out where that shot came from?" Neptune asked, I turned over and looked at her with a confused gaze,
"I figured you wanted to check on Hikan." I replied and Neptune looked towards the cave, then at me.
"No, I believe in Hikan, he'll come back." she said with a smile, I looked at the cave entrance for a bit before looking back at Neptune.
"Alright, let's go." I said and Neptune and I ran towards where we heard the gunshot...
Hikan's POV
"Come out… wherever you are…" I muttered, I winced in pain as I held my side, it was still leaking a little bit of blood, I'm sure the wound closed a couple times now, but due to all the moving I was doing, it would just open them again.
I was walking through the hideout and looking through the rooms, I don't care who I find, if it was a scientist, I'll kill him, if it's a guard, I'll kill them, if it's Arfoire, you know the answer.
"Hah!" I yelled as I kicked a door, knocking it off it's hinges, inside were a bunch of scientists and they were all looking at me with looks of fear,
"Please don't kill us!" one of them said, I glanced at him and walked over to him, I grabbed his neck, lifted him off the ground and pushed him to the wall.
"Where is… Shizuki?" I asked, he looked at him and tightened my grip, he clasped his hands over my one hand and tried to get free,
"I don't know who you mean!" the scientist yelled in response, I glared at him,
"Don't lie to me!" I yelled, punching him in the gut with my free hand, I dropped him after the punch and looked at the others, "If you tell me where Shizuki is, I won't do anything." I said and a girl scientist walked up this time, she was trembling, but tried to keep a brave look,
"S-she's… not… h-here." she answered and I walked up to her, she didn't turn away or move, but she was trembling all over,
"Oh? So you're saying that Arfoire was lying about her being here?" I asked and the scientist looked up at me,
"Y-Yes." she answered, I smiled and patted her head,
"See? That wasn't so hard was it?" I stated as I proceeded out of the room, was she telling the truth? Probably.
Weird, when I came here the first time, there were a bunch of people in this room, now I barely seen anyone, why is this?
"Well well well, look who decided to show up." damn this voice, i'm sure I don't even need to say who it is.
"I told you that your little peons can't kill me." I said and Arfoire smiled.
"I expected something like this would happen, it doesn't matter now, I got you right where I want you now." she replied and I cocked my head.
"Where you want me? Are you developing feelings for me?" I asked her, her expression went from cocky to an angry look,
"As if! You can die for all I care!" she yelled and I sighed,
"And I thought Noire was the Tsundere…" I muttered before turning back towards the exit and began walking.
"Where do you think you're going?" Arfoire asked behind me and I turned around,
"Cause I lost interest in fighting you, I know how this will end, we fight, yadda yadda, I win. It happens most of the time really." I said while giving a shrug, Arfoire glared at me,
"Are you joking, I have your friend captive and-"
"No, you don't, I know for a fact that you don't have Shizuki, Arfoire I may be a protagonist, but I'm not stupid, Shizuki is still out there." I said and turned back,
"Grr! Don't tempt me!" Arfoire yelled as I heard in incoming spell, I quickly turned and saw dark magic coming straight towards me, I sidestepped it and looked at where it hit the wall beside me,
"Well, looks like there will be a fight." I said and turned around, I held my hand out and fire appeared in front of me and soon it took the shape of a sword, A red and black blade with blood a red hilt and crossguard.
"I'll destroy you here!" Arfoire yelled and I smirked,
"You lived long enough old hag!" I yelled back…
Ozaki's POV
I think we lost them, I put Lady Blanc down and looked around, I think we're safe.
"Lady Blanc, are you alright?" I asked, she didn't turn to me or speak, she just stood there. "Lady Blanc?" I called out to her.
"You dumbass!" she yelled and turned and punched my stomach, she may not have her powers, but she's still strong,
"Gh!" I grunted and fell on one knee, I looked up at Blanc and saw that a shadow covered her vision and you can see one red glowing eye, i've seen this look before many times.
"I told you to let go of me! I can't let Hikan be alone!" she yelled,
"Don't do it, The Saviors want that to happen!" I said and grabbed her arm,
"Get off of me!" she yelled back and shook off my grip, I looked at her again and saw that tears were forming in her eyes,
"Lady Blanc…" I called out again,
"Hikan is in danger and you just let him go on alone!" she yelled, I sat there staring at her, is Hikan really that close to her? I never thought she would get this close to someone before.
"I'm sorry, Lady Blanc, please forgive my rude actions…" I muttered while putting my head down, can I still be called a Lowean soldier if I refused my goddesses orders?
"You can make up for it by helping Hikan, we need to get over there now." she said in her more calm voice now, I got off the ground and nodded, but before we even started walking, I saw something in the trees.
"Lady Blanc!" I yelled and pushed her out of the way, then a shot was heard, followed by a major pain in my right arm, damn that's the arm I use my sword in too!
"Ozaki!" she yelled, I held my arm where I got shot, blood was draining out of my arm and falling on the ground, I looked over at Lady Blanc,
"Lady Blanc, get out of here! Run!" I yelled, she sat there and stared at me, why was she not running?!
"Surround the area!" a soldier yelled and a bunch of soldiers surrounded the area around us, "Come with us you fake." he told Lady Blanc, she looked at him with the red eyes again,
"I'm not the fake! I'm the real Blanc you dumbass!" she yelled, but the soldiers weren't listening, one came up behind Blanc and pinned her down "Get off of me!"
"That's the real Lady Blanc, you've all been tricked!" I yelled and two soldiers came up behind me and pinned me to the ground,
"You traitor Ozaki, so much for calling you captain, I bet you were the one who killed the original captain in the first place." one of the soldiers said, but we heard a shout from one of the soldiers,
"What the hell?!" another soldier yelled and started shooting into the forest, but hit nothing, then a sword came flying from the forest and stabbed him through his chest, then it flew back. What the hell is this?!
"It's over there!"
"No! Over there!"
"It's everywhere!"
A bunch of soldiers were shouting and yelling, but no-one could find where the mysterious attacker was at, until the one main soldier was left.
"Screw this! I'm just killing these bastards!" the main soldier said while pulling out his pistol, but was interrupted by a sword slash from behind,
"Heh! My stealth Nep attack was a success!" A girl said standing behind the now collapsing soldier, "You must be Ozaki! It's about time I saw- Wait what?! You're that guy Hikan fought!" she said as she pointed at me.
"Yeah, that's me. It's been awhile, CPU Purple Heart." I stated and her eyes widened,
"You're the one who saved Hikan?!" she said confused and I nodded
"Yes, I helped him escape, he told me that he was protecting Lady Blanc, so I set him free." I replied while getting up, I looked over where Blanc was and she was staring at this girl.
"Neptune, why are you here?" she asked Purple Heart, who i'm guessing is this girl, this must be her human form and her name is Neptune.
"Well, long story, but looks like we got one more thing left to do!" Neptune responded, then another girl came out from the bushes, holding a bloodied sword in her hand, this was the girl that was with Hikan also in the forest.
"Is that all of them?" the girl asked Neptune and she turned back and gave a thumbs up.
"Yepperoni! Now we wait on Hikan." Neptune replied, these two knew Hikan? And they knew Lady Blanc?
"May I also ask why you two know Lady Blanc?" I said keeping my guard up, I don't trust these girls.
"Well, we're Blanc's friends!" Neptune replied, her friends? I'm don't mean to insult Lady Blanc, but I didn't know she had friends besides Financier.
The girl with white hair walked up to me, "You're the one Hikan fought in that field." she said as she pointed her sword at me, "How do we know you can be trusted?" she asked, I looked up at her, but said nothing.
"Whoa! Shizuki, calm down, he's the one that helped Hikan escape from The Saviors." Neptune told her, the girl called "Shizuki" looked at Neptune,
"Helped him escape? What do you mean?" she asked Neptune, how did she not know about that?
"Wait, so you're saying that you didn't know about Hikan's capture?" I asked her and she looked at me,
"Then the one at the entrance to the cave… that wasn't him…" she muttered, one at the entrance of the cave? Did she see the other Hikan?!
"What do you mean?" Blanc asked her and Shizuki started explaining what happened...
A/N: Well then, looks like Shizuki's back in the story... for now...? Anyway thank you Nep for the Nepstation and I hope that it answers any questions or thoughts that you guys have on the story and if you have any other questions, don't feel too afraid to ask, you can write it in the reviews or PM me, and I will answer them or have Nep answer them on Nepstation!
