Chapter 1: Prologue

After the defeat of Rei Ryghts, life on Gamindustri has slowly been returning to normal and managed to save two worlds in one cause. Apparently, Virtua Forest Safe Zone has been acquired by Planeptune after a dimension portal between their world and Ultradimension world connected permanently. While two Histoire from both worlds worrying about the future of their Gamindustris, Neptune and Plutia don't mind it as long they can see each other again.

A month after the crisis, both worlds witnessed a sudden boom of purple crystals appeared throughout Hyperdimension. The CPUs and the Oracles later called the crystalline material 'Sharilite'. After they experimented and tested the crystals in Planeptune, not only they found out that it can act as a energy source in a tremendous rate than their current ones, but also can be used to develop their R&D projects. They immediately sent out to mine Sharilites all around Gamindustri by offering mining contracts to mining companies, even they made requests in the Guild that involves getting Sharilites, which led to many Guild members spreading around to gather the purple crystals as they could. Prior to this, the CPUs sent a message to the Ultradimension CPUs, only to be surprised when they received a reply about Sharilites existing in their dimension and gathering them as well. In addition, they learned that Plutia have recently annexed Eden and Hello Continent while Ultradimension Noire annexed PC Continent into their nations.

By the time 3 years has passed, Hyperdimension and Ultradimension are now using Sharilites as their primary energy source to power up their nations and evolving their military power by inventing technologies. Although the CPUs are still using other energy sources, the production of those has been cut down and they decided to put them on reserve in case. Unlike natural resources that could re-spawn in a day to 3 in their worlds, they found out that Sharilites would re-spawn for a week. So they have decided to put them in multiple government-owned warehouses for storages within their nations.

At this time, an individual pops up from Planeptune's Station Area at night and soon found by Neptune and Compa, who they were just walking pass by until they saw a teenager leaning in a trash can, unconscious. The two then carry him all the way to Planeptune's Basilicom where they would put him in a spare room. In the morning, the individual wakes up from his sleep, only to find facing Histoire, IF, Compa, Nepgear, and Neptune. After introducing each other, the teen said his name was Luis Rivera and was running towards his home after a night school prom when a bright light appeared and transported him in an alley.

After Histoire explained everything to him about Gamindustri, Luis felt devastated. But Neptune aka Purple Heart of Planeptune, who was strangely curious of Luis, helps him on a mission to find him back home. With that, they both left the Basilicom to head towards Leanbox since they heard rumors of one of the R&D projects that the Leanbox goddess named Vert was working on.

Unfortunately for them, on their way to Lastation, they are under attack by the ASIC-Citizens remnants who allied themselves and both wanted revenge against the CPUs for their defeat. They defeated the group and forcing them to retreat before the two continue their journey. Arriving at Lastation, the two made their way to the Basilicom to visit the Lastation's CPU; Noire, only they saw the Lastation's oracle; Kei Jinguji standing there, who told that she and Lastation's CPU candidate; Uni was unavailable for certain reasons.

Then Neptune and Luis accepted Kei's request for the guild, in exchange for a free passage to Leanbox. After getting rid some of Bomb-omburai in Endless Zone, the two head back to the Basilicom to report, only to encounter a dancing tournament at the Lastation park as they pass by. The two soon joined in on the fun and eventually won the competition against an influential Lastation business couple. Unknown to them though, the event made their feelings to each other slowly began to grow.

During their stay at a Lastation's hotel for the night, Luis gave Neptune some leftover Filipino chicken from the prom, which made her delighted at the taste. He then later told her about his life on his dimension and what happened during the prom night at his high school after she asked him about it. Neptune, feeling sad for Luis, cuddled him in his bed, much to his embarrassment.

Getting their travel papers from the oracle the next day, the two tried to the Lastation Harbor on time, but they were confronted by the ASIC-Citizens Remnants Group again. The group tried to attack with stolen Lastation military equipment, but they got defeated by the duo again and they retreated once more when Lastation police showed up. They make it to the entrance of the harbor but luckily for them, there's one more ship left on the pier and they quickly enter the ship just as it started to set sail to Leanbox.

After some difficulties going to Leanbox's Basilicom, such as fighting a mobs of Plaid Dolphins, they manage to reach Leanbox Harbor. Luis and Neptune greeted Vert at her Basilicom before explaining her of the situation. After hearing it, Vert then tells them that one of her recent inventions; known as the "Dimension Cross"; a device that could create a dimensional portal and connect to other dimensions of their choice, including his own.

Neptune and Luis were happy about this at first, but then they realized that they have romantic feelings for each other, much to Vert's happiness. Despite Neptune's hesitation to let him go, she sadly accepted it after hearing Luis's determination to go back to his dimension to see his family again. But before they can act, they were under attack once again by the ASIC-Citizens Remnants Group. Although the three managed to fend them off, the group did managed to get the Dimension Cross during the fight.

Capturing an ASIC-Citizens remnant during the raid and, after some interrogation, Neptune, Luis and Vert are now heading towards their hidden base, where they planning to rip Gamindustri apart and create a new world for themselves with the device. Not wanting to happen, all three charged against the Group in their hidden base, with the rest of the CPUs coming to help them to stop their diabolic plans. It was around this time, Luis met Hiroshi Gushiken (Japan), Andrei Reznov (Russia), and Hyun-Ki Yun (South Korea) from his world with the same situation as he.

However, despite defeating the group, the now unstable machine still operates and almost in 100% charge. With no other choice, Luis destroyed the machine by pushing their leader towards it, at the cost of getting home. With their device destroyed and their leader killed, the ASIC-Citizens Remnants surrendered to the CPUs and the boys from another dimension.

With the ASIC-Citizens Remnants Group disbanded for good and lost their chance of getting home, the four boys decided to get a new life in Gamindustri as guild members and later befriended each other. Days after that incident, Luis invited Neptune in a hill and offers to become her boyfriend, which she tearfully accepts as they embrace each other and kissed. Unknown to the two however, they were observed by Histoire, Nepgear, IF, Compa, the CPUs, and the Earth boys from afar. Like Luis, they have also have their own relationships with each of the CPUs as they hold their hands together.

Once again, peace has returned to Gamindustri….

… At least for a year when a Ancient Dark CPU from the 1st Gamindustri Era named Kurome Ankokuboshi broke from her seal and started an insurrection against the CPUs, started the Dark Purple Crisis. Initially, the Hyperdimension and Ultradimension CPUs tried to fight against her, but were easily defeated, with Ultradimension IF was nearly corrupted by Kurome by her powers, almost making her a mindless slave if not for Vert pulling her out safely. Not only that, rebels from Hyperdimension nations rose up against their former CPUs and also allied with the Dark CPU, to further their goals.

But with the help of their allies from both worlds, they succeed quelling the Gamindustri Rebels and their leader from their nations with their newly-born AI's help, and stopped the evil CPU's plans. Despite this, Kurome and their remaining followers retreated to an empty continent called 'Gamarket' to continue their plans. Eventually, the CPUs track them down and gathered their armies for one final offense. While their armies distract the enemy, the CPUs fly straight to the Dark Castle where Kurome resides. The CPUs fought against her once more but this time, they won.

In a last ditch effort, Kurome transformed into her Dark Goddess form against the CPUs. The CPUs fought against her gigantic form, but they were no match against her newfound power.

As they were on the verge of defeat again, Arcadia; the True CPU goddess, finally descended from Celestia to support the CPUs by combining the main Hyperdimension CPUs' Sharicites with 'Gold Crystals' from her realm, forming a Hyper Share Crystal. With this, they shortly transformed into their Next Form and finally defeated the Dark CPU once and for all. Once Kurome was in her normal form and kneeling, Arcadia approached to her fallen daughter and consoles her, apologizing for neglecting her many years ago.

With this confession, Kurome, for the first time since her creation, smiled and made amends with her mother/creator before her soul was absorbed by Arcadia, with the intention to sent her to the Hyperdimension Afterlife. She then reveals herself to group as Arcadia; the True CPU goddess of Gamindustri and ruler of Celestia, as well as creator of Hyperdimension and CPUs, including Kurome.

The whole group was shocked by the revelation at first (except Histoire, the Earth boys and the Ultradimension CPUs), but the CPUs and the CPU Candidates immediately hugged Arcadia as they finally saw their own mother/creator for the first time in 2000 years. After having a conversation between family, she later explained to the four boys why they were teleported here by her…. which is to become consorts for her CPUs daughters, much to their and people's present near them shock. That, and she saw them as special individuals.

It made the boys blush at that consort statement of course, but they were surprised when Arcadia offered to turn them into CPUs in addition to that. Although hesitant at first since this would be giving up their loyalty and love to their own countries. But after some assurances from the True Goddess and love for their respectful CPUs, they accepted the offer, much to Neptune and the other 3 CPU's happiness. Arcadia then gave them a Sharicite from Celestia each for their previous actions and the four became CPUs afterwards. She would later adopted the Ultradimension CPUs as her adopted daughters, including Rei Ryghts from Ultradimension. Only Peashy was excepted from that as she was the adopted daughter of Rei.

Before returning to Celestia, she made all CPU's Sharicites, including the Ultradimension CPUs, independent from people's worship for the first time since the end of the 1st Gamindustri Era, the same as Rei.

The day after the Dark Purple Crisis ended, the CPUs, their four newly consorts, the CPU Candidates and the Oracles, purged every individual within their realms that sided with Kurome and the rebels, with the assistance from Ultradimension CPUs. Every assets that they used within their cities were quickly seized by them. The Rebel leader, who led mastermind the revolt, was found dead in an alleyway in unknown circumstances and was soon label as a suicide.

With all said and done, they converge themselves in Planeptune's Basilicom, to discuss the future of their dimensions. After lengthy discussions, all of them voted to form an inter-dimensional government known as 'Gamindustri Union'; composed of both Hyperdimension and Ultradimension nations under a united central government.

Although they have the full support from the True Goddess and their citizens, they needed a new capital city for their future government. Thus, they choose build a new one in the middle of the Hyperdimension continent, in which the former Gamindustri Graveyard was located. With assistance of every builders & engineers in both dimensions, they successfully completed their task in 2 years. In front of the new capital building they named 'Silver Tower Ark', which is a tower similar to Planeptune's, CPUs from both dimensions proclaimed the foundation of the Gamindustri Union in live-TV through any Gamindustri news media outlets for their dimensions to see. They later signed the 'Friendship Treaty', which created the Union and established the 'Gamindustri Friendship Council' with Neptune chosen as the first president of the Council.

Soon as the capital city was finished, people from the four nations, including from the Ultradimension, begun to migrate to the new city (now named 'Neptunia'). Shortly after its foundation, PC Continent from Hyperdimension and Sociomobilindusrti from Ultradimension sent their representatives to the CPUs about joining the Union. The former was accepted, especially the CPUs found out that their friend Maho is a CPU and the current ruler of PC Continent, who helped them defeat the Gamindustri rebels and Kurome during the Crisis. Arcadia later recognized her as a former CPU candidate of the former CPU of Lastation during the 2nd Gamindustri Era.

Sociomobilindusrti initially wanted to become a part of Gamindustri Union as well. However, their nation's current status was ineligible for a membership, as well met with opposition from the True Goddess, who believes that only her CPU daughters would rule the new government. As a compromise, Sociomobilindusrti became part of Lastation in Ultradimension to get the benefits of the GU membership, but were allowed to have autonomy of their own. The two nations agreed on this in part of the CPU boys, who helped negotiate between the two, thanks to their knowledge from their dimension.

The PC Continent nation now became a part of the Union and joined the Council. A month after founding the Union, the four main Hyperdimension CPUs and their consorts formally wed at the newly built Basilicom inside the new capital building, with their family and friends attending the wondrous event.

Once more, peace has returned to Gamindustri. With both crisis resolved and foundation of the Gamindustri Union, many people believed that peace is within reach and would spend their lives without conflict for once.

Until a year later….

Dimension: Falmart

In the world where fantasy and magic rules, few human civilizations existed over for hundreds of years since the world's creation and soon spread their villages far and wide. But after being raided by non-human beings for a couple of years, those same civilizations banded together and formed what would be called the "Sadera Empire" today, with the founder were the 'Augustus Family'. Shortly after it's formation, the newly formed "Imperial Army" pushed back the non-human raiders out from their territories. But as their population grew, the Empire changed its defensive policy into an offensive one as they started to invade the non-human territories and other small kingdoms to expand their power and territories.

This policy continued into the present day.

By the time the 10th Emperor; Molt Sol Augustus assumed the throne, the Empire became the most dominant power in all of Falmart. Despite this however, the Empire overstretched themselves thin and unable to gain absolute control nor fed over some of their territories, causing revolt from those same territories that have been long dissatisfied by its rule; both humans and non-humans. It didn't help that his own first-born son; Zorzal El Caesar wasted many experience Imperial Legionnaires and their finance in a war against the Warrior Bunnies 3 years earlier, despite gaining new lands and slaves. Worst yet, he heard reports from his spies that the vassals kingdoms were slowly breaking away from the Empire.

Molt knew he cannot continue on like this or the Empire, by extension his family's work, would crumble and he would be remembered by future historians as the Emperor who destroyed his own great civilisation. Or worse, being ousted from power by potential opponents in the senate.

So he went to every temple of the Falmart gods to pray each day, hoping for a sign or a miracle to save his Empire from dying. As if the gods heard him, one of Hardy's priests from Bellhango arrived to the Imperial throne room to meet with him in private. They told the Emperor about the two small portals appeared in Alnus Hill and Italica Hill. They claimed it would bring them salvation for themselves and their Empire.

In legends, all races were born here comes from that portal and most humans and demi-humans avoid those gates and saw them as to be worshiped or feared. It said that the portal would summon itself in Alnus Hill randomly and delivers new races to this world. However, there are no records of a second portal in Italica Hill and this would be the first time in the Empire's history to do so.

But to Molt, he sees this as a way to regain the Empire's power and accepted the priest's offer. Thus, the Emperor successfully convinced the Senate to vote on a bill about sending an expedition force, composed of four Legion on both portals each. Even the famous Marquis senator; Casel El Tiberius voted in favor, despite the man's reservations. As the votes were cast, Molt ordered his trusted retainer; Marcus to deliver a letter to the two Legates who would be leading the campaign to Alnus and Italica Hill. Now Molt would've used the Elbe Army led by King Duran to led a campaign towards Italica Hill instead, but he decided against it as it would have a chance for his rival to grow in power for himself and his allies.

Returning to the present, Emperor Molt was sitting on his table in his private room within the Imperial Palace at sun down, silently reading the contents of the letter that he received from the messengers from both hills. He was pleased when it says that the Legates have almost assembled their Legionnaires from their forts and preparing to invade once their mages completed their task. He then writes a message from another paper and puts it in the envelope.

As he seals the envelope with an Imperial Seal, he spoke to his retainer, who was standing near the exit. "Marcus."

"Your Majesty?"

Molt hands over the envelope to him. "Deliver this to one of our messengers from the Imperial barracks."

"Of course your majesty." Marcus grabs the envelope from the Emperor's hands before leaving the room. Once he was gone, Molt went to the windows and overlooks the noble district below him. He pondered about the legions he sent to the Gates and the campaign he advocated to the Senate.

He didn't regret it but… he can't help but worry that his order would change something, but he doesn't know what. However, Molt shook his concerns. If it was an civilization beyond those Gates that surpasses his, the Imperial might would crush them, no matter how powerful they may seem. One of his ancestors defeated the ancient Allied Kingdoms and brought them into submission, despite their strength and numbers.

And like his ancestors, he too would prevail and the Empire will be restored to its formal glory, no matter the cost.

Dimension: Hyperdimension

Date: 13 Years and 2 Months ACW (After Console War)

In the new capital city of Gamindustri, many people from Hyperdimenson and Ultradimension were gathered in front of the Silver Tower Ark to see the starting ceremony of the 1st anniversary of the Gamindustri Union. Holographic screens popped up on every nations by Nepstation so people get to watch the broadcast of the upcoming event on live-TV for those that didn't make it to see the ceremony in person.

Standing in front of the tower were the soldiers from all nations, 200 each and already in column formation. In front of them, were the flag-bearers. Each of them were holding a flag that represent their nations, with one main volunteer holding the Gamindustri flag, symbolizing their unity. Guild members were also present and already in formation alongside them. The Guild Leader; Liam was seen carrying carry the Guild flag on front, although there are groups also carry their different banners from their own guilds. Both of them are currently facing the capital building, waiting for their goddesses to appear.

Luckily, they didn't have to wait for long as the crowds behind them were cheering when they see the Hyperdimension and Ultradimension CPUs in their goddess form and wearing their formal dresses at the top of the balcony, standing side by side. The Gamindustri soldiers saluted to their goddesses in response.

Behind them, were the CPU consorts, CPU candidates, and Histoire, albeit in the back and wore formal clothing for this event, except for Histoire. Bamo and Regu were also present and wearing formal clothing as well. Despite not being a member of the Gamindustri Union, the two were invited by the CPUs to attend this wondrous event at the request of Maho, who wanted to meet them as she was interested in their tech similar to hers.

Neptune (in her Purple Heart form) step forward from the group and head towards the podium to start the speech. A Holographic screen popped up above the CPUs as the face of CPU Purple heart were shown to the audience.

There, she speaks. "People from Gamindustri, both from here and Ultradimension, we CPUs thank you for the attending the 1st anniversary of the Gamindustri Union's foundation."

The crowd goes silent when they heard Purple Heart voice as she continued. "Before we begin, we announced that our mother sadly isn't available right now to attend the ceremony due to her work. But she gave her best wishes to us all and would be happy to see her Creations enjoying themselves. For now, I will be acting both as her only representative and as a voice for the whole Gamindustri Union members present here."

All CPUs simultaneously nodded.

"Now… as you may all know, our world was filled with conflict and strife 2000 years ago when we CPUs vying for dominance and territories in the Console War." She closes her eyes, reminiscing on the past. "Rather than to seek peace, we choose to fight against each other so that one of us would get the title of the True Goddess, only to find an endless war that bring nothing but death to all sides and gaining us nothing."

"However…" Purple Heart then opens her eyes. "… After multiple crisis over the past years since the Console War ended, we realized that by working closely together, we can overcome any challenges that comes in our way. Thus, the decision to form the Gamindustri Union, by uniting all of our nations under one government with the support of the CPUs and the True Goddess."

"While there are many challenges in our Union, we are no doubt that we would face it together… just as our soldiers, as well as the Guild members, present here today fought together against the Fallen CPU for the sake of our worlds. Give your applause to the men and women before you."

The crowd cheered again. This time, for the Gamindustri soldiers and Guild members.

"Now that we reached the end of this ceremony, we will end this on one final speech before we begin the festivities."

Purple Heart put her hand to her chest. "I, as the first president of the Gamindustri Union…"

Then all of the CPUs follow suit as well by putting their hands to their chests. "… and we the CPUs, hereby declare that the 1st anniversary of the Gamindustri Union's foundation has officially… begun!"

The joint words of the CPUs made the crowd cheering and soldiers roared for their goddesses as fireworks were released into the skies. Before ending the ceremony, the CPUs and those from behind sang the Gamindustri Union's official national anthem while putting their hands to their chest. The soldiers and the guild members, including the crowd, joined in as well. During the song, the flag bearers step forward to put the flags onto the empty poles and raised them to the top simultaneously. After the song, the two groups gave their one last salute towards the goddesses before being dismissed by their superiors. All the while, the leading CPUs were happily waving their hands towards the crowd, who slowly dispersed to enjoy the festivities around Neptunia City.

Afterwards, they dismissed themselves and, along with the rest, moved to a different part of the tower to celebrate the Union's foundation separately. The balcony was filled with fancy decorations, tables, and chairs that was prepared by their servants prior to the start of the ceremony. Different kinds of foods and wines were available at the buffet line, cooked by several famous chefs in Hyperdimension Gamindustri and one of them were currently stationed at the buffets.

The Hyperdimension CPUs were sitting at the decorated round table by themselves, filled with foods and wines that they picked. The rest were enjoying separately; their Ultradimension counterparts were chatting themselves in another table with Plutia, the CPU candidates were also chatting with Histoire in another table, their CPU consorts were currently standing near the buffet and arguing among themselves (as usual), and lastly; Gray Heart, Bamo and Regu were eating at their own table as well, while having a conversation about tech-related stuff.

Sitting at the far middle of the table was Purple Heart herself. "That went well." Then she looks at Noire. "So, how was my speech Noire? Is it good like my last one?"

"Well, of course it was. It's just a small speech Neptune." Black Heart replied in dumbfounded.

"But it sure pisses me off that you got to be one to speak at the crowds earlier." White Heart frowned. "I bet Histoire was the one who wrote that speech again like the last time."

"Aw come on you girls. Remember, I'm the first president of the Gamindustri Union, so I should be the one to speak in behalf for us all." Purple Heart spoke. "Furthermore, I did wrote the speech myself… with my husband's help of course."

"Now that's the first time I heard it from Neptune."

"I agree with Neptune." Green Heart nodded, holding a wine glass. "After all, we are the ones, including our mother, that voted Neptune as our first new president of the Union. Not because she is the most powerful CPU and gave the fatal blow to Kurome, but because she has the strong will and determination to push onwards, compared to all of us."

"Even so, we should really need to start talking about setting term limits." White Heart said, sipping from her wine glass. "Don't want our people accuse Neptune of being a tyrant."

"You mean like the 'Democracy' that our lovers spoke of before?" Green Heart spoke. The CPUs remembered years ago when the boys spoke of their dimension, one of them was their people's choice of system in their own governments during their stay in Gamindustri when asked. The reaction was mixed; they saw Democracy was filled with many flaws and inefficiencies of their own, as well as incompatible in their realms. On the other hand, they mostly approve of defending peoples personal rights and freedom of choice.

"Yes. A vote to choose whoever would be our next president after its terms are done." White Heart affirmed. "Also, it would be fair to all members."

"Fair enough I suppose."

"I agree with Blanc." Purple Heart nodded, much to the CPUs surprise. "As much as I wanted to lead our new government indefinitely, I think we should give our members a chance to share leadership."

"Even if we choose vote for Plutia?"

Everybody shivered at that thought of Plutia ruling the Union, especially in her CPU form if transformed. Thankfully for them though, many of their people witnessed Iris Heart's behaviour during the Dark Purple Crisis and its unlikely they approve of her to become their next president should the GU members start the vote for the first time.

"I hope not." Green Heart admitted. "She is a good girl, but she would be a horrible leader."

All CPUs nodded their heads in agreement.

"Before we even get to that point, we need to tell the other Council members about this first in the Chamber of Presence, including our mother." Black Heart reminded them. "Right now, let's just enjoy the celebration and talk other stuff other than work."

"Of course!" Green Heart clapped her hands. "So, who's first?"

Then the CPUs began to chat about recent events and their consorts. In another part of the party, the four boys from Earth seated in a vacant table with the foods they picked. They soon begun to chat with each other.

"Damn! Are you Filipinos always that hungry?" Andrei exclaimed as he saw Luis having more foods than theirs.

"Hey! I do this every time when I attended social events and parties with my family and friends. Besides, we're gods now and we eat whatever we want without worrying about stomachache." Luis replied before grabbing a piece of pizza from his plate and ate it.

"Maybe so, but it is informal to gather a vast amount of food at this table, especially on this important day." Hiroshi said.

"Come on Hiroshi, don't be such a formal guy." Hyun-Ki told him. "This venue here is private only to us and we can enjoy whatever we want. Just have fun, will you?"

"Maybe you're right."

Since the two met during the siege of the Remnants of ASIC-Citizen's Group's HQ, they were initially hostile to each other due to their nation's past conflicts in their own dimension. However, at the climax of the Dark Purple Crisis, their rivalry largely ceased and became friends after the crisis and soon, their ascension to godhood. Though they still bicker every time due to their contrasting personalities.

"Hey, did you all hear though?"

"What?" Luis asked as he was about to swallow a pork into his mouth, with the other 3 looked at Hyun-Ki to continue.

"Vert told me that Ms. Arcadia would send us back to our world, albeit only to see our families and friends for a limited time."

"Are you sure?" Andrei asked.

Shortly after telling of their purpose of being in this world, the True CPU Goddess; Arcadia told them they can refused to become CPUs and she would let them return to their own dimension, to their own families, if they wished. The 4 of them thought about it, but eventually, they decided to stay with the girls they loved and became CPUs, sacrificing of going back to their own dimension. After they made their choice, they all though they forever would not see loved ones ever again.

Until now, that is.

"Yes. There's even a possibly she would allow some of them into this world to visit." Hyun-Ki finished.

"Then… that means I can see my older brother and little sister once again!" Andrei happily replied.

"That's great!" Luis was excited. "I want to see my friends and family again, especially my mother. She must be worried sick about my disappearance in our world."

"Hold your horses you two." Hyun-Ki immediately said, smiling. "Its still unconfirmed whether or not Ms. Arcadia would sent us back there, so let's wait for the good news okay?"

"Alright." Both Luis and Andrei relented, though they keep their hopes up inside in their minds.

"Say, what about you Hyun-Ki? You have family back on South Korea that missed you?" Hiroshi asked.

"Yeah, you always keep quiet about your family when we mention it before." Luis pointed out.

"Look, there's nothing to discuss about my family and that's that, end of discussion." Hyun-Ki firmly stated, canceling their attempts to pry from his former life.

Luis, Andrei, and Hiroshi frowned at the South Korean teenager, their eyes in disbelief from his words. But sensing that he would never going to give an answer, they would let it slide for now.

"Let's change the subject then." Andrei said as he drank a Loweeian wine from his wine glass. "To start, who got the most monster kills in Gamarket?"

Their discussion soon turned to an argument once again.

Dimension: Falmart

After weeks of traveling, the Imperial Army's 10th Legion arrived at their destination. As soon as they first arrived on Italica Hill however, they found the portal to be small. Maybe enough for a small party, but not an invading force. Thankfully for Legate Decimus, several magicians from Rondel that are loyal to the Imperial cause volunteered for the expedition. With their aid, they devise to create a structure that would expanded the portal enough for their army to fit in, as well as to keep it under control.

By the time the construction of the Gate was complete, the 5th, 7th, and 12th Legions finally arrived at Italica Hill to assist the 10th Legion on their expedition beyond the Gate by their Emperor.

They were not the only ones though. Several Imperial Wyvern Corps, specialized unit of the the Imperial Army, were there alongside the legions and would be responsible of supporting the expedition force from attackers. Beasts creatures and demi-humans were 'employed' by the Empire to act as their auxiliary and to protect their brave soldiers from harm. Unlike the Imperial Legion however, they were given half of the payment than a regular Imperial soldier and would not own an Imperial land of their own.

While many were captured from the previous campaigns by the Empire, some volunteered as the pay was still greater than what they have done previously and supporting their families living within Imperial territories or in vassal kingdoms.

In addition, Count of Italica; Colt Formal also joined the Imperial expedition with the majority of Italica's soldiers, alongside with his closest allies; Counts of Roen and Missna, who they brought their own forces as well to assist the Formal Count.

To Count Colt, he didn't want to join this expedition. He was fully aware this is just the usual imperial policy of subjugation that the Imperial Family continued. But under the Imperial-Italica Treaty signed by their ancestors, they would have to follow under Imperial laws as price of maintaining what remains of their autonomy. He just hopes that the civilisation that they would now invade would quickly surrender to avoid bloodshed.

After giving a rousing speech to his men, Decimus finished it by shouting 'Glory to Sadera' before firmly ordered his assembled armies to march inside the Gate. Before they begin to enter, Legate Decimus told the leader of the 12th Legion; Legate Silas that he and his legion to stay here and act as their supply line and reinforcements.

The Legate and his 10th legion entered the Gate first, along with the auxiliaries between them. Second, were the 5th and 7th Legions. Then, Formal, Roen and Missna armies follow suit. Lastly, were the Wyvern Corps.

Despite the void inside the tunnel, Decimus and the 3 legion kept their brave faces shown and some carrying their Imperial banner as they continue to march. The auxiliaries tried at least kept a stoic expression as they feared any reaction would get a negative expression from any Imperials. The 3 clans and their armies show their fear of the void, sometimes wondering if they are monsters lurking around them but cannot be seen.

Thankfully, the march was not long and soon reach the other side the tunnel. When they exited however, the entire expeditionary force were stunned of what they seen. They saw the buildings were larger and more grandeur than any of the Saderan architectures that their builders made in their world. They even made a massive tower that reached the heavens. They also noticed the buildings have glasses in their windows, something only the nobility can afford.

But for Legate Decimus and the two other Imperial legates, they saw the fancy buildings as another civilization playing superior. They quickly noticed that the people in front of them and were looking at them curiously at first. But when their auxiliaries exited the Gate, the people's curiously turned to a dangerous caution and hostility as they pulled all kinds of weapons, some are unrecognisable to the Saderans, and maintaining what he correctly assumed were their battle formations.

He then saw few of those people whispering to each other before they run away while the rest remained, facing their soldiers. Realizing these people are soldiers from this city, Decimus decided to take this city quickly before their enemies amass their full armies against them.

Decimus pulled out a scroll and read it aloud. "In the name of the Sadera Empire and his majesty; Emperor Molt Sol Augustus, we hereby declare war on this new world and the rulers living here will be given two choices: surrender and submit their kingdoms to the Empire or death!"

When no one answered, he angrily shouted. "So be it! Kill them and take many of the natives as slaves! For the Empire!"

The sounds of war were blown.

A/N: And so it begins….

The first chapter of my 'Gate: A Dimension Crossover (Rewrite)' is done. This is now my 3rd time of rewriting this fanfiction and hopefully, I won't do it again. While the story somewhat remains the same as the original, it will be now revised and improved. This chapter here is a revised version of Chapter 1 from the original story and I will continue to do so with the rest of the chapters till the UN part. Also, this rewrite story would be more focused on the Hyperdimension group side, just to speed things up until we can get to the part where the 'Allied Expedition Force' make its appearance.

Due to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine, Russia, in this rewrite, won't have a 3rd Gate of their own. As I said back in my Important Notice (2) on my original version, I have plans for them, assuming I'm finished with this one first.

With the realization of my universe kept expanding though my original fanfiction, I have decided to create the HazardVerse for my future stories. 'Gate - A Dimension Crossover (Rewrite)' would be the first fanfiction to add into my universe, so expect more fanifction stories to appear.

Before I end this chapter, I would be lessening writing my A/N unless it's important. It is because is distracting me from writing another chapter, that including writing Trivia's now sadly. Now that's done, thank you all for reading and don't forget to reply about this chapter. :)

Notes:

1. Neptunia City is based on Planeptune City in Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Anime.
