Notes
I really have no great for being so damn lazy about this story. I am sure most please who read it don't even finish a chapter. (I wouldn't blame them either) Not gonna lie I somehow manage to get embarrassed when I think of my early chapters, I am pretty sure anyone one reading it would agree with me that those are pretty painful to read.
I would like to think this a decent story but it just has way too many flaws to be good, yet somehow here I am still writing it. Even though it is a trainwreck (that is what I personally feel) it still managed to get follows and favorites. (I am really surprised I haven't gotten PM's of people telling me to spot writing it)
Now that I have my melodramatic and self loathing bullshit of this story's quality out of the way, I am not as tired as I was all week (April 4th - 7th) so this should have better quality in this chapter and not be so rushed at the end (hopefully).
Also if you were offended by chapter 25 I am not sorry seeing how Idea Factory/Compile Heart only give us one thing to work with and it only affects goddesses so yeah kinda have to improvise there.
So the story...
Planeptune Hospital floor 47
(Vert's perspective on everything)
I got a really 'weird' feeling from that man I passed while getting of the elevator, by weird the guy gave me some bad vibes like… hmm… like… I don't know how to describe the feeling I got. The best way I can put it with sounding completely insane would be like it felt like a ghost or something paranormal had just passed by me. I could really 'feel' this guy's energy coming off his body, it something really bad like the man had some intent to cause physical harm to someone or something. ("Hopefully that person is not Uni")
With that all behind me I tried putting that Thought out of my head so I could focus on the matter at hand, which is to find out if the last person on this list is Uni. It has already been a whole day since that event occurred. I had been her since the mid afternoon yesterday, and now just realized I completely forgot about those bags of clothing I had bought. They are still on the floor with that crazy girl who tried holding me hostage and failed miserably.
Well my current objective went from going to see if the last girl is Uni to getting those clothes back. Sure I could have just gotten Uni, made a pit stop down on this floor and kept on going but, I am not really to sure when I will be leaving this place. Seeing how Uni might not even be in a state where she could even be moved, if that is the case then. I guess I will be staying here at Uni's side until she is able to be moved so I can be sure Uni will be able to come back with me to Leanbox.
Whether that is a day, a week, or even a month I will be here I just don't know how long it could be. The process would be very hard for me not playing a signal game for a day let alone a month. With that my new mission commenced, the operations detail aren't necessary for everyone to know. I made my way back down 20 floors to floor 27 where that bitch of a nurse dumped me. Mental note I must track her down and feed her to the pigs.
I didn't want to be on this floor because of that crazy punk girl was out of her room. I took my time making my way back to that main desk on this floor, just so I could be sure that I wouldn't get jumped if she was out.
On my way to the front desk to I got countless funny looks from medical staff because of sneaking around the halls, the one thing I didn't want to happen did and that is one of the people that saw me thought I was patient off their medication, so the man tried to get me back to a cell on the floor. We ended up getting into a struggle that lasted for over a good few minutes. Also just to give some context as to why this happened floor 27 is the psychiatric ward in Planeptunes hospital so it's no wonder something like this happened.
Vert: "Hey… let go… of me"
Therapist: "Stop... struggling… then"
Vert: "No…"
"I am… not… a patient… here"
Therapist: "Bull… shit… you're… not"
Vert: "GET… OFF… "
*Throws the therapist off*
"I am not a patient you dick"
"If you had even bothered to look you could have seen that I am the-"
Therapist: "Yeah yeah you're the goddess of Leanbox"
"I just wanted to get rid of you so Planeptune could be the only nation"
"Now get over here and I won't have to hurt you"
Vert: *Simmons lance*
"Is that a threat or a challenge"
"Cause if it is a challenge then I will surely wipe you out"
"As for the threat part you don't scare me at all"
Therapist: "Well fuck… (how the hell do I compete with that)"
"Fine… you win… just leave me alone"
Vert: "Get out of my site now"
That therapist guy ran off without a word, with that struggle plus the whole sneaking thing what should have been a two minute walk turned into a 20 minute crawl. The bags which I must have dropped in that crazy girl's room were now sitting on the front desk. I darted up from my position on the floor only to have my head slam in a shelf on the wall next to the desk.
("That really hurt") I got up back to my feet again this time looking up to make sure that I am not going to smash my head on either another shelf or the same shelf. Now being back on my feet after that rather embarrassing display, I walked over to the counter grabbed the bags turing around so I could haul my but back to the elevator quickly as possible. This lend me to run into chairs in the waiting room that I didn't see, I fell over them hitting me head on the floor. In the same spot where the shelf had made contact with my skull.
Twenty minutes later
After adopting Blanc's mouth because of the whole hitting my head thing and getting thrown off the floor because of the amount of swears that seemed to flow without an end in sight to them. ("It was really painful and still really hurts") With that out of the way I waited for the elevator to reach its first destination. I wasn't fast enough to press the button to floor 47 so now I am stuck in the elevator going down to goodness know what floor,this is all because of my slow reflexes which is kind of funny really, it's funny because of a study I once read about all gamers.
In this study I read awhile back waiting for a patch to finish downloading on 4 goddesses online 2. The study was about how pro gamers much like myself have reaction times of modern fighter pilots but, this comes at the cost of having the body of a sixty year old chain smokers. That second part doesn't apply to me because of being a goddess, having to do work for the local guild to keep my shares up so that Noire can't just come in and reap my shares away like she does to Neptune. ("That's why Planeptune never has any shares")
The elevator had reached its destination, that just happened to be the first floor of the hospital. I was not colpain why the elevator had come down all this way once I found out that Nepgear was going to be joining me on the way up.
Nepgear: "Vert… what are you doing here at Planeptune hospital"
Vert: "That's what I should be asking you Nepgear"
Nepgear: "Well I am here for my first checkup after being discharged"
Vert: "This late or early in the day just depends on how you look at it, well the point being why are you here for a checkup at this time of night"
Nepgear: "I was told that every one to two days I need to come down here so I can get checked out by the doctors"
Vert: "Ooh how lewd… why would doctors need to checkout someone as young as Nepgear"
Nepgear: "WHAT THE GOODNESS VERT... NOT IN THAT WAY"
"But now that you said that I kinda don't want to go up there"
"... And this is why Neptune is a much better older sister than you Vert"
Vert: "What about in HDD"
"Doesn't Neptune say things like that all time when she is Purple Heart even if she does get more serious"
Nepgear: "Now you ruined that for me as well"
"But you are right Neptune does say stuff like that in HDD form a lot"
Vert: "Well now that the idol conversation is done don't you think you should get in here and press the button to the floor you need"
Nepgear: "Yeah I guess I should"
I had been pressing the hold open button on the control panel of the elevator so the doors wouldn't close while I was talking to Nepgear, who just so happens to be going up to the floor I need to be on to see if Uni was that last Ravenette in this building with that description. ("Maybe that was the floor she and Uni stated together on before being discharged from the hospital. Well Nepgear at least.")
Nepgear: "Vert you never told me why you are here"
"Also might I ask why do you have those bags of clothing from that store in the mall where they have clothing from every nation but it's in Planeptune's colour scheme of purple and a dull light pink colour, that I went to with Uni one time when we tried acting like regular girls for a second time here in Planeptune"
Vert: "Well there is no point in trying to hide my intent"
Nepgear: "Intent?"
"What do you mean by that"
Vert: "Well I will not go into details but something happened between me and Uni and now I feel like I owe her something"
"So I went out to get her some fresh clothing and that store had her dress and ribbons combo so I bought that as gift"
"Now I am going up to floor 47 to see if the last girl on this list I have here *holds out list* is Uni or not"
"And if she is awake I am going ask her if would want to come home with me to Leanbox"
"And before you ask yes this is some sort of vien hope of trying to get my own little sister by stealing Noire's"
"Don't tell anyone that I am doing this you got me"
Nepgear: "Okay but why would you do that Vert… "
Vert :"Why would I do what?"
Nepgear: "Why would you try to steal Uni from not only Noire but also me"
Vert : "I am not stealing anyone from you I am sure as hell never going to take Neptune away from you nor will I ever do anything to make Neptune go away from you Nepgear"
"As for Noire, she is unfit to be older sister of Uni seeing how that girl was trying to kill herself by stabbing herself multiple times in her arms, legs, and the abdomen five or six time each one missing barely missing organs that are vital to life like her kidneys or liver"
"And her "
Nepgear: "Well Vert have you ever heard of a little thing called love"
"It's really hard to describe the feeling of love but I do know that I get a burning feeling in my chest whenever Uni is around me"
"Whenever we are together I feel like I could kill the Deity of Sin 1000 times and still have enough Energy to do it 1000 more"
"I never feel alone or that I have to be the person I am when around Neptune, I feel like I can be my robot and hardware addicted self that also so happens to love taking apart, examining, cleaning, and reassembling, firearms because of the mechanics behind them and not have to be judged based on what Neptune views as 'normal' for someone like myself"
"Uni is a light in the dark for me and if you were to take her away from me I wouldn't be able to see"
"Vert if I can't see that means I could stumble into something like… I don't know the pointed end of a sword blade."
"If that blade were to say... puncture my heart I would die from bleeding out"
"Or worse that sword could have been used to slit my throat open and cause the blood in my neck to be sprayed out like a can of spray paint or even better than that the blood could for a nice fountain that sprayed all over the place"
"Vert do you want me to die… do you want my guiding light to go dark… don't you think that is a little selfish of you to take me light away"
Vert: "..."
"..."
"..."
" ( _ )"
"Nepgear… "
"You're scaring me… "
At this point there was a dark and very ominous shadow covering Nepgear's normally cute, and worries some eye's not this time thought. The feeling in the elevator was one of anger and hatred and this was all coming off of Nepgear.
Nepgear: "So Vert tell me… why would you want to take the love and light of my life away from me"
Vert: "Well… umm… I… I… well… how should I put this… at first… I wanted you to be my little sister but… Neptune always got in my way"
"So Uni was the better option and if that is her normal state then there is something seriously wrong with that poor girl that not even you could fix"
"She needs a proper big sister like myself"
"Or better yet I could be Like Uni's mother figure instead of being a big sister"
"Nepgear I am not saying that I am more fit to look after Uni or anything of the sort I am just saying that I think Noire mistreated her and she needs be looked after in the right way and for right now I don't think that is to be in a relationship with someone let alone her best friend"
Right after I finished explaining myself the shadow that was covering Nepgear's eyes had disappeared, Nepgear's body quickly after that went limp. I had to drop the bags of clothing so she had time to fall which lead to me catching Nepgear just before her head could slam against the wall of the elevator. The elevator was for 21 when this whole ordeal of Nepgear getting possessed or overcome with emotion ended. We had just passed floor 33 when Nepgear started to stir again.
I didn't complain about this but I was a little sad because rarely did I get to hold her like this, during the time she was able to do something that I have always wanted to do and that is to be able get a taste of Nepgear's lips. The taste wasn't anything too special, her lips tasted like the vanilla lipstick I gave after as a thank you for getting us out of the Graveyard and help to recover enough shares so we could help in the fight. Even though all four of the goddesses and oracles had to help Nepgear track down a sword that was rumored to exist that could defeat the Deity of Sin.
It was what Histoire found out about the sword that gave every last one of us Nightmare's. To use the sword one of us would have had to kill the all seven other CPU's and CPU Candidates. This was bestowed upon Nepgear, instead of just using the sword right from the get go Nepgear came up wil idea of taking all the Nations share and putting them in Planeptune in hopes that would be enough to stop the Deity of Sin as expected of everyone but Histoire the idea was shot down but, Nepgear insisted that we allow her to take the share.
Everyone including my normal calm self exploded on Nepgear, I went bad to Leanbox with Chika, Blanc had taken Rom and Ram back to Lowee faster than their console could run, and Noire bolted with Uni out of the basilicom. This was all because Nepgear said that even if she had to take the shares by force she would, in other words that was her way of saying that Planeptune had just declared war on all of Gamindustri. Once Nepgear and the remaining people ("IF, Compa, Red, Tekken, Cybercon, Cave, and 5pb.") were done with Planeptune they headed on over to Lastation to start reaping shares.
Noire and Uni for some reason waited until the very end to fight Nepgear and Co. so they had very little share energy. Even with the combined strength of two Goddesses it was not enough to stop Nepgear. As a last resort Norie started a struggle for the sword with Nepgear. Nepgear had broken free from Noire's grip and proceeded to smashed the sword on the ground so no one could use it. Well it is a rather long story to think about now and Nepgear is finally starting to wake up it's best to stop thinking about it.
Nepgear: "Nnngh… argh… Why is my head in so much pain… What the goodness… Vert… why are you hold me like this"
"Just what the in the name of all goodness happened to me"
Vert: "Well Nepgear... it is a rather long story and one you are better off probably not knowing"
Nepgear: "The way you said sent a shiver down my spine, was it really that bad"
"Also why are you holding me like this"
Vert: "Like I said you better off not knowing Nepgear and you fell over and I caught you I have been waiting for you to wake up"
Nepgear: "Do you think you could let go of me"
Right before I let go of Nepgear the door to the elevator opened, standing in front of the door was at least five or six people most likely waiting for the elevator to come from the first floor. They all had a very odd look. The look is a mix of worry, confusion, and disgust. As to why the people looked disgusted is beyond me. I was just holding Nepgear who is now standing on her own to feet and now in the corner of the elevator, her face is currently so red you would think someone just confessed that they are in love with Nepgear. ("Poor thing was it really that embarrassing to be seen held like that")
Vert: "Well I will be seeing you Nepgear… hope nothing too bad happen ;)"
Nepgear: "Did you really need to say it like that Vert"
Vert : "No but it was all harmless fun"
"Well for me at least it was"
Nepgear: "Goodness Vert that is not like you"
("Just what the goodness happened")
Vert: "Well I have my business to attend to now so I will be going for real this time"
I picked the bags back up and made my way out of the elevator.
Nepgear: "Good luck"
Vert: "As to you Nepgear"
(Nepgear's perspective)
Nepgear: ("Goodness Vet it's not like I am going U am going a secret mission to foil someone's plans of evil")
("Ooh but that sounds like it would be a lot of fun… just think of all the gadgets and secret spy weapons I could make")
("Maybe I could bring Uni with me on one because she is a covert agent in training for the PIA")
(Nepgear don't you think that is a little overboard)
Nepgear: "Author shouldn't you be focusing on vert and not my silly day dreaming"
(My interjection)
(Fuck I hate it when the fictional character is right)
(Did you see which way Vert went then so I can take control of her again)
Nepgear: "I think I will disregard that last part but I as for where she went down the on the right side and then took the first corner on the left"
(Thanks Nepgear *bolts down hallway*)
(*Reaches corner only to see Vert standing in front of a door*)
(Vert wait up… )
Vert : *knocks on the door"
(Damnit did she not hear me)
(VERT WAIT UP…)
Vert: *No response knocks again*
(I wish my fat ass could run faster)
(Damnit I am already out of breath… fuck me for not working like I should have)
Vert: *Knocks harder in a small amount of frustration*
(If I push myself to the limit I can make to her)
(Just… a bit… further… )
(NYAAAA!)
(Made it back just in time)
(Score)
(Back in Vet's body showing her perspective)
I was about to pound on the door instead of knocking because this was really frustrating me for some reason. But before I my made contact with door the I heard some very muffled voices coming from behind the door. I couldn't make out what was being said by the people but, I could make that there is more than one person in the room. The footsteps I heard approaching the door confirmed this.
The door swung open far enough for the person staying behind it to look out, the person was a female so it is most likely a nurse in the room. I could make out the person out to be female from the length of the hair not mention it wasn't a greasy mess. That is how how most if not all of the walking dumpsters and grease traps called hippies are in Leanbox.
?: "What do you want"
Vert: "I came here to see if the person in this room is the one I am looking for"
?: "Well she doesn't want to see anyone and is recovering from a life saving surgery so go away"
Vert: "Well can you least ask her if there is one person she would want to see right now then I will leave"
The person that was just behind the door shut it with some force in my face, most likely to get me to go away so she didn't have to tell me.
?: "She is only willing to see someone by the name of Nepgear"
Vert: "Well that just so happens to be me ("Please be an idiot")"
?: "Fine I'll let you in but absolutely NO fucking around you got that"
"Also what is in the bags"
Vert: "It is just some clothing I picked up for the person I am looking for"
?: "Leave it out there"
Vert: "But it almost got stolen the last time I was told to do that"
?: "Well I couldn't give two hints of a flying fuck about what happened to you little miss important"
Vert: ("I am going to need to have some Major stress relief on dogoo's when I am done here or better yet I could go on a murdering spree of Lowee soldiers who always seem to want to fight everyone and everything")
("Man the staff here can unbearable")
Vert: "Fine… can I leave them next to the door at least
?: "I don't give a shit where you put them as long as they don't come in this room"
I placed the bags at the foot of the door in a way so I didn't seem like they were in the room but they really were. With them on the ground and out of the the person opened the door revealing a short hallway with a door and a view into what little of the room I could see the. From what I could see behind her, there is a curtain drawn back around what I guessed to be a bed. Well to me this meant that the room is either a room for two people or there is a small bit of privacy from changing or doing something you don't want other people in the room to see. This I got me thinking a rather ridiculous idea that maybe I could use something I saw happen while attending a cosplay convention once.
I did a little research on this and it is called the Neptunian nerve pinch, the way this pinch works is that you put so much pressure on a never at the person passes out. Now whether it really works or not I have absolutely no idea about, and I am about to find out because she gestured for me to follow her into the room and turned around. I shut the door so no one could see this happen, the nurse turned around and gave me a dirty look then proceed to keep on walking.
I had only a short amount of time to do this, without any hesitation I grabbed the sides of the nurse's neck and drilled my thumbs down on the nerve at the base of her neck. It only took a second and she was out cold and dropped backward like a sack of potatoes. I put my arms under her shoulders so I could drag the nurse into the bathroom. I made it look like she slipped on some water and hit her head on counter drawing out some blood. For this to be convincing I had to pull out my lance and dragged it across my the tip of my index finger and middle finger so blood would drip out onto her head and the counter top.
With that out of the way I walked back to the door grabbed the bags and pulled them into the room with me.
?: "Hello…"
"Nepgear… is that you"
"What happened because it sounded like someone fell down"
Vert: ("I am too pissed of right now care about my personality Blanc mouth shall become my mouth right now well in my head at least")
("So shit the person heard that")
Instead of responding I walked out into the room to see what was going on, there is a shadow that looked like Uni sitting up in the bed with the curtain drawn around it. Not to mention that she sounded like Uni and said Nepgear but until I can confirm this with my eye's it could still just be someone else that has the same description as Uni.
Vert: "It's me"
?: "What… did you just say isbe"
Vert: "No… can you not even tell by the voice"
?: "What… everything you just said was really muffled"
"you are going to have to come around to the other side"
"So I can see you"
As asked I walked around to the other side of the bed but, I grabbed the curtain along the way and pulled it because I didn't want to see if it was Uni or not until I could steel myself for the disappointment of it not being Uni.
?: "Just what the hell are you doing"
Vert: "I am not ready yet just give me some time"
?: "I don't have all day so hurry it up"
Vert: "Fine…"
I pulled the curtain back just far enough so I could look at the girl with one eye, also this was to ry and keep myself slightly hidden. To my amazement it really the girl wasn't just someone that looked like Uni or sounded like, that is because the girl is Uni. I am not her older sister nor am I her mother I have no relation to her at all other than her being a CPU but, for some reason seeing that Uni is still alive made tears well up in my eye's almost instantly.
Vert: "Uni… (Sob)"
"You're alive… (Sniffle)"
"But… (Sob) how… (Sniffle)"
"I thought… (Hic) for sure… (Sob) that… (Sniffle) your injuries… (Hic) would be… (Hic) to serve… (Sniffle) for you to live… (Sniffle)"
Uni: "Wait a second you're not Nepgear…"
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME"
"I TOLD THAT BITCH TO ONLY LET IN NEPGEAR NOT RANDOM PEOPLE OF THE GODMAN STREET"
Vert: *Still crying* (" Can Uni not recognize my voice or is it the fact that I am hiding my face")
("Maybe I should more of my face")
"Uni… (Hic) just calm down… (Sob)..."
Uni: "I'LL CALM DOWN ONCE YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE"
"AND ONCE YOU DO LEAVE NEVER COME BACK YOU GOT THAT BITCH"
I moved the curtain from around my face so Uni could see it, the look on Uni's face made it seem like doing this pissed her off even more but, instead of exploding on me she had the complete opposite reaction.
Well that is another chapter gone by
And this is another apology for being so damn lazy and not doing anything with this at home (I'm sorry but videogames are really distracting and I have a weak willpower).
But with getting a third block in school I should be able to get more written which in turn means I should be able to put out a chapter faster.
The real hurdle will come during my after summer seeing how I will be done highschool and more than likely looking for work again.
Please do PM me if you have any suggestion for me (I really need some idea's as what to do with Maikel I want to have it so maybe there is a love triangle between Noire and someone else just because I can Spoiler Alert Noire likes Maikel)
Anyway that clears things up for now so there is only one thing left to say and that is…
MissNepgear OUT! (I need caffeine)
