Notes
Well here we are me once again having to take a look at my google drive and having realized I have 28 chapters so far and can say I have written a story that can be called a novel (Novel = 40,000 words +). I mean the site doesn't tell me how far people read but clearly someone's got be reading to the end of the chapters because I wouldn't still be doing this if I didn't have any followers or favorites.
(This is my ungrateful way of thanking you people that actually read this and can push through the cringe to the end of another chapter It may not mean much but again thank you)
With that out of the way it's now storytime with MissNepgear…
Maikel's apartment two days later
(This takes place after Vert left the Hospital for the second time after visiting Uni)
(Maikel's finally back here)
It had been three days since myself, Plutia, and now Noire left Lastation, two days have passed since we left the motel between those to oddly named towns. I hadn't really bothered to remember the names of the townes because I am more than likely never going to be doing that again. I mean sure I kept that bike I stole from Lastation but, that doesn't mean I am always going to be driving everywhere. Where I live is in walking distance of all the things I need like food, video games, an internep cafe for when I forget to pay my internep bill.
That aside I wonder where Noires is right now, she hasn't come back for almost four hours. She said it was only going to be going out to look for two hours today. I don't really know if it a thing or not but I might be developing a thing for the Goddess of Lastation, I mean it has only been three days so it could just be from exhaustion. I have been given to double shift at McNeps since I got back from my 'vacation', I guess my boss wasn't happy that I got a weeks Vacation after working there for a solid year with no vacation time ever used.
I scored the job at McNeps a week after I got released from the hospital because of that 'incident' ("I really need to find the journal the doctors handed me"), which was great at the time. From the news I had learned at the time Planeptune was going through a major economic crisis due to a downturn in oil prices and the export of our technology had stopped. I don't know why oil prices fell seeing how the only oil company in all of Gamindustri is NepponNepbil, as for the lack of export Neptune thought it would be a great idea to hold it all to herself for a week so Nepgear could tinker with it.
It still baffles me how Neptune is the CPU of Planeptune I personally would have thought Nepgear was the CPU seeing how she seems to do all her older sisters work, that includes gathering shares from the people of Planeptune who don't support Neptune. Still you really wouldn't know that Neptune is CPU seeing how we only ever got to she her as Purple Heart and that was when making announcements. So I am pretty sure I am the only resident of Planeptune that doesn't help her do her job or work in the basilicom with Miss Historie to know that she really is the worst CPU in all of Gamindustri.
I just have too many things on my mind right now, I just don't know what to do right now. My two biggest concerns right now are what the hell happened in Lastation and where has Uni gone. I really want to help Noire but until I learn what I happened I can't do anything like that. I can't speak for Plutia whom seems only be proficient at sleeping seeing she is currently passed out on my couch. ("I really wonder where Noire has gone to maybe I should go out and look for her")
With that idea now in my head I thought it would be a good idea to write a note for Plutia when she finally decides it would be a great idea to not sleep the day away. "Plutia if you find this note and I am not home it means that I am still out searching for Noire if she happens to be home call me on my cell the the number is stored on my home phone" ("Now with that done I should get going")
I grabbed my wallet, my house keys and a bottle of water just incase I am out there for a while. I am not the greatest driver in the world so it would best not to drive this late in the day. ("Noire why did you have to pick this time of day to be out looking for Uni") I could say that I am not any better when it comes to looking for things, I always do this crap late at night and I still wonder why am tired all of the time.
I stepped out of apartment and locked the door on the way out so Plutia would be safe and sound. The evening air is crisp and cold just the way I like it, it always felt comforting to me and I have no really good ideas as to why it did. All I know is that in Planeptune the air at night has always been a welcoming thing to feel no matter what time of the year. I wish I knew why the air always felt welcoming at night, maybe I just like having the feel of cold air entering my lungs.
Without realizing it I had already walked down the stairs of the apartment complex to the street and got on the bike. I know full well that it's a really stupid idea because I am a terrible night time driver. The only reason I had to get a driver's licence was so I can go into bars and drink, which is a rare thing for me to do but I have done it. I hotwired the bike in Lastation but when I got back here I went to a good friend and co-worker of mine who just so happens to love fixing up bikes and cars. I got him to put in a new starter for the bike and her gave me the keys to that. So I don't have to re-hotwire the bike anytime I want to use it.
I crammed the key into the ignition of the bike and cranked the key a little to hard causing it to bend a small bit. The bike still roared to life and all but that is not the point, the point is that I was way too hard on the key and nee dot not do that so hard next time. Thank god the bike has an automatic transmission because I have no idea how to shift a motorbike. I had it parked on the street in such a way where I could walk the bike out a small bit get on and go. That didn't need to be done though because the car that had been parked in front of my bike is now gone, so I am able just throttle up and go.
I don't really know where to start so I think my best bet will be to try Planeptune tower but, first I am going to stop and the store to get a Nepbull I am going to need the energy. I throttled up the bike still not being used to the jolt it scared me a little when I went from zero to 20 mph in less than two seconds. The store is normally a fifteen minute walk but with the bike it's like a three minute drive. When I arrived at the store of all the people I would have expected to see standing there it was Nepgear with a bottle of something in one hand and in the other I think she had that N-gear thing.
Maikel: "Hey there"
Nepgear: "Hmmm" *looks up from screen*
"Hey Maikel..."
"..."
"MAIKEL… WHAT THE GOODNESS ARE YOU DOING HERE"
Maikel: "I did but know I am back home"
Nepgear: "Well… obviously"
"So when did you get back"
Maikel: "I got back into the city about two days ago with Plutia and Noire"
Nepgear: "You brought Noire with you…"
Maikel: "Well it's more like she decided to tag along with me and Plutia because she figured Uni might have ran off here"
"Would you have happened to see her here"
Nepgear: "No I haven't seen Uni here. She could have ran off to Lowee to live with Blanc or, Uni could have gone Leanbox to live in a place where she learn from a gunsmith to start doing that herself"
Maikel: "Why would she do something like that"
Nepgear: "I don't know but if I were to run away from Neptune I would most likely head to an aboned factory so I could live in peace and just tinker with hardware for the rest of my life"
"See she loves firearms and things of the sort, so if Uni were to run away from Lastation why would she go to place where Noire could find her"
"It would makes sense to me at least if Uni were to have run away like this. She would have gone far away from the main city in Lastation to some small town that no one has ever heard of to become a gunsmith herself"
Maikel: "I guess that makes some sort of sense"
Nepgear: "Well the way I said that doesn't make a lot of sense but you get the basic idea of what I am trying to say right"
Maikel: "Yeah I get what you mean"
"Instead of Uni going to the obvious place that she is more than likely going to be found if Norie is to stick around long enough"
"She heads out to a town where Nobody would know who she is or where she came from starts a new life as a gunsmith so she can earn some sort of money and live the rest of her 'life' there in peace away from Noire and maybe the rest of Gamindustri in a whole"
Nepgear: "Well your explanation Maikel is a lot easier to understand than mine is"
Maikel: "Really most people find my explanation really hard to understand, so I stopped trying to do that kind of stuff unless I need to"
"By the way what i gave was summery, not an explanation"
Nepgear: "Are you saying that in a way to judge my intelligence or something… cause if so that is really mean, I just suck at explaining myself something, or most of the time"
Maikel: "Well didn't start out as that but I guess you're right about that"
"But you can't go on the offensive here because I wouldn't have thought of it like that if you hadn't mentioned anything"
Nepgear: "YOU'RE THE WORST"
Maikel: "You couldn't tell from the first time that I am an asshole"
Nepgear: "No"
"What the goodness would make you think I can tell this kind of stuff about a person"
Maikel: "Well I was an asshoe the first time we met, more specifically when you wanted a drink at my apartment and I gave you the glass of Vodka I didn't tell you it was alcohol"
"You downed the whole damn thing like it was going to go out of style"
Nepgear: "Can we drop this topic"
Maikel: "Well if want to drop the subject then I best be going because I have some things to be doing"
Nepgear: "Well do you think I could get a ride back to the basilicom if you're headed that way"
Maikel: "Sure but I am not headed that way for awhile so you are just going to have to tough it out for now"
Nepgear: "I should have asked this earlier but where did you get a motorbike from"
Maikel: "I bought it with my vacation pay while in Lastation"
Nepgear: "They just you ride it out here"
"That seems a little odd to me"
Maikel: ("Crap Nepgear is on to me")
"I was there for over a week I got it registered there"
("You can't beat that logic now can you Nepgear")
Nepgear: "If you say so…"
Maikel: "You don't believe me do you"
Nepgear: "It's not that I just think it's weird to have a vehicle registered in a different nation that all"
Maikel: "I am going to get it registered for here sometime next week so don't worry about it"
("I just know all the 'right people' to make shit happen that's all")
("Nepgear doesn't need to know that I stole this bike or that before the 'incident' that I had ties to a notorious family known around Gamindustri for violent crimes yet none of the goddesses had been able to find them")
("Now how true any if that is I still don't know these are all stories of my past from my mother's journals")
("I Really got to get on reading those journals once Noire is gone from here Plutis returns to Planeptune tower and I learn what happened to Uni")
("I really want to find out why she ran out if the room like that, it has been bugging me since that day")
("Also I want to know why the Goddess of Lastation was being chased down the street by those two guys")
Nepgear: "...KEL"
Maikel: ("I really gotta stop getting lost in thought all of the time, it is really distracts me from what I am doing")
("It as almost cost me my job once at McNeps for getting out three or four wrong orders in a row not to mention that also caused me a lawsuit because I nearly killed someone with an allergy to nuts")
Nepgear: "MAI…"
Maikel: ("The only other time this happened and the situation was really bad was during that 'incident' I am not really too sure why it was so bad")
("No one has ever told me why it but I can guess it was bad, this is according to the doctor that treated me for the first month during my physical therapy")
("The doctor said the nurse that read the last journel my mother ever wrote was detailing the incident and what had caused it that nurse had been treating me for the first week being there but after reading that journal she refused to even be on the same floor as me")
("There had been days where I had to leave the building for my therapy so she could come to work and not have a breakdown on shift just knowing that I was in the building")
("All I have been told is that if I want to learn the truth of my past I should read my mother's journals")
("I have also been told reading the last journal could return all my memories prior to that 'incident' which could lead to me going insane or I could relapse and go back to the state of only remembering my name and the English Language")
Nepgear: "MAIKEL…"
Maikel: "Hmmm"
("Sounds like Nepgear is calling my name")
Nepgear's final loudest scream yet pulled me out of thought, I found us drive down the road on the opposite side doing in excess of 110 mph.I got back onto the right side of the road and 'slammed' on the brakes ("More like pulled on the brake lever as hard as it would allow me to"). The only thing that stopped us from getting killed was because of how late at night it is and the fact Nepgear pulled me to my senses before anything bad could happen.
Nepgear: "MAIKEL STOP THE BIKE!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE"
Maikel: "I got lost deep in thought"
"So… when did you get on the bike and when I did start driving because I don't remember any of that happening"
"How long was I like that did anything weird happen"
Nepgear: "You told me to get on the back of the bike and put it into gear and just started driving"
"Once you blew through a red light I knew something was wrong started screaming at you to pull the bike over"
"This went on for just over five minutes"
Maikel: "FIVE MINUTES"
("This is bad. Really, really fucking bad. It's happening again")
Nepgear "Also something very strange did happen, in the mirror I could see your lips moving"
"I just so happen to have the that I gain another useless affinity which is to read people's lips"
"From where I picked up the lip reading you were muttering something about getting revenge for killing someone, that was very dear to you"
"You talked about how the person is so close to you but yet somehow so far away at the same time"
"You mentioned that you know they are somewhere here in Planeptune"
"The really scary part is the fact that you used Neptune's name three different times"
Maikel "Sorry Nepgear but, I think it would be in your best interest if got off and walked back to the basilicom"
Nepgear: "I would be but I get the strange feeling if I do that something bad might happen to you"
"So I am going to stay here with you but instead of holding onto the back of the bike I am going to get into the sidecar and ride with you"
Maikel: "This has happened to me another time so it is best if you get off the bike and start walking"
"It will also be best of you forget that I ever existed it will help you in the long run trust me"
Nepgear: "No"
"I am not going anywhere"
"And I will not forget you existed I met you and nothing will change that"
Maikel: "I will not repeat myself I am not going to bring you around with me"
"Get off the bike and go home"
"Forget about me"
"Live a life that doesn't involve me"
Nepgear: "Fine I will leave and forget you once you tell me why"
Maikel: "You know what fine is you really want to know that badly I'll tell you but, you better promise me that you will never contact me, talk to me if you see me on the street or ever try to find me once you walk away from me"
Nepgear: *Fingers crossed*
"I will… you have my word not as a person but as the CPU Candidate of Planeptune"
Maikel: "Well get in the sidecar and I will drive back to my apartment"
15 minutes later
The drive back to the complex was a quiet one aside from the sound of the engine. When I pulled back into the parking spot and turned the bike off I caught a glimpse of Nepgear's look. She seemed to be rather worried, in the morning when I tell her what happened she is either going to be terrify or think that I am making this up just to get a sob story.
Makel: "I am head up to my room so when you are ready come on up the door will be unlocked so make sure to lock it when you enter"
"Also I am going to tell you in the morning when I am not so tired"
Nepgear: "Yeah…"
Maikel: "Noire is stay staying here so don't freak out when you see her"
Nepgear: "Alright"
With that having been said I walked up to my apartment opened the door, walked in, shut the door, took my shoes off, went to my bedroom and flopped down the bed. I didn't even bother to take any of my clothing off, within seconds of hitting the matters I was out.
You are done reading an it's now time for the notes
Well this chapter was done ahead of time so think of this a bonus chapter instead of being actual chapter, but with that said I feel that explaining this 'incident' will be done next chapter and you might think there is a massive plot hole right there but it's not because I will be explaining that in the next chapter.
With that said I am out of things to type for today so I am going to use the rest of my time to watch some episodes of Shakugan no Shana the second.
it's time for my to go so…
MissUni OUT… let's try that one again
MissNepgear OUT!
