Chapter 2
Our hero was walking through the plains outside of Zelwinds and was near the Katticus Ice Cave. The cave themselves were cold and he was lucky he had his green hoodie.
When people asked about him and the colour green his only answer was that it was… genetic? He didn't really know how to describe it but since he was known as Green Brother the colour green was kind of expected from him. What else was he going to wear? Purple?
"So there is a Fury here" He mumbled to himself before getting his Fury out and looking at it. It was kind of odd as spear was his sister's weapon and the weapon he would use in this world. "Now I need to send this back to Lola"
That was going to be a probably the hardest thing for him at the moment. Maybe there was a way to contact Lola with his Fury.
"Well here goes nothing" Viridis said as he held onto his spear tightly as he tried to make a connection with Lola. "Lola?"
"Viridis is that you?" The fairy asked. "How did you make a telepathic link?"
"Beats me" He said. "Anyways I have found a Fury at the Katticus Ice Caves"
"Really, that's good news. With this I can get money from some of the Fencers!" Lola said and Viridis could feel the money signs in her eyes. "I do wonder why you are collecting them though"
"There is no point for me to collect them" Viridis said as carefully walked out of the caves leaving the Fury behind.
"If you collect 100 Furies, you'll be able to have a wish granted" Lola said waiting for Viridis' answer.
"Meh, I don't need a wish"
"Huh?" She responded sounded very confused. "Most people will go out of their way to get their wish but you don't really care for a wish"
"I don't need a wish, if I want something done I will do it myself" Viridis said.
"You certainly are a unique fencer Viridis, and with lines like that you might just a cult following or a fan club" Lola said as Viridis rolled his eyes.
Viridis did have to wonder if he had a cult as he knew he didn't have a fan club but he shrugged it off, like he would have a cult following back in Gamindustri.
"I'm going off to search for more Furies" He told his partner.
"Righto partner" Lola said. "If you find any other information please call me, I would love the money making your sending my way"
"I understand" Viridis said as he leisurely strolled out of the cave.
"Oh I almost forgot. If you wanted me to join you again just drop on back in Zelwinds and we can go adventuring like old times!"
"That wasn't that long ago though!"
Lola seemingly ignored Viridis before continuing. "Since you'll be making money out there in case you run out and need a few jobs handed in, I created an account for you where I put the money from quests you did and a little from me in there for you"
Viridis blinked. "That is awfully kind of you"
"Well we are partners right?" She said happily as Viridis could tell she was smiling and he smiled himself, a rare event in Gamindustri.
"Maybe I would come back and we can travel sometime" Viridis said as his partner agreed. She was a travelling merchant and informant after all.
Maybe the information about Fury in Katticus Ice Cave would be bought by someone. However as he was walking he felt someone's eyes on him mainly two pairs of eyes. "Lola, I'll cut the conversation short. I am being watched"
"Understood partner" The fairy replied as Viridis made the telepathic communication between them stopped.
"Come on out I know your there" The candidate said as he had his spear over his shoulder.
Nothing happened for a moment but then a girl around the age of 16 with red eyes, milky-blue hair, and pale skin came out of hiding. She was wearing a black dress with white accent and a three-layer ruffled skirt held with a big black belt with multiple studs and buckles to match her big collar. The chest, sleeves, and hood are blue and have many black and silver buckles and belts all over them and wearing black fingerless gloves and blue horizontal striped stockings with two belt straps on each leg.
"Kill, kill" She said as he raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly someone appeared next to her. She was a pale girl with bright ice blue eyes and very long flowing white hair. On the top of her head were two big fox ears, both of which have blue and cyan themed diamond-shaped earrings with accenting of white. She was wearing an outfit that resembles a long, over-sized white kimono-dress with ruffles and blue ribbons held by blue beads.
"Ethel says die, and I'm Karin by the way" Karin quickly said politely. "I am Ethel's translator"
Viridis sweat dropped. "I gathered that much" He deadpanned.
"Kill, kill kill"
"Okay, I understand that you want me dead but…" Viridis said before he dodged a shoot from Ethel's bow. "…someone as young as you shouldn't be taking lives"
"Kill kill, kill, kill" Ethel said as her fairy partner Karin translated her words.
"Ethel, and I, say you're not that much older than us why do you call us young?"
"…"
"…"
"That is a good question actually" Viridis said. He kind of said it when he was in the moment and he didn't know his real age.
"Kill"
"Ethel says die already"
Viridis dodged shot after shot from Ethel's bow weapon and using the end of the spear he had a landed a few hits on the girl.
"Kill…"
"Ethel says why you are not fighting seriously?"
"Because if I did you well die and both of you would lose the ones you care for the most" He said as Karin and Ethel stopped to look at the blonde who wasn't trying to fight him. "You'll both be lonely without each other right? Why don't you come with me, if you stop killing and join me I can show you how to be human" He tried to convince her. "Even though I am not a human"
Karin looked towards Ethel who frowned at the blonde. "Kill, kill, kill kill"
"Ethel says why do you care for a stranger?" Karin translated. "I also ask the same question"
"Because someone you shouldn't be devoting your life to killing, you should be having a normal life and besides your also trying to help her change aren't you Karin"
Karin had a shocked expression on her face as she listened to the blonde's words. "That is true" She said after a while. "I do wish for Ethel to have a normal life"
"Join me"
"Kill?"
"Ethel says join you?" The translator spoke.
"Yes, join me and I'll show you a somewhat normal life" Viridis said as he held out his hand and smiled. "If you still want to kill me then I will fight you seriously"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill" Ethel said.
"Ethel says you are a strange one and there is no reason to trust you" Karin said.
Viridis sighed as Ethel went to attack him but Viridis lunged forward and threw his arms around Ethel.
"Kill, KILL?"
"Ethel says what are you doing?" Karin says as she looked on.
"This is a hug" Viridis said. "A hug makes everything better than 1000 words, sometimes a hug is all you need to make you feel better" He then looked into her eyes. "Hugs were invented to let people know you care for them without having to say anything"
"Kill. Kill, kill, kill" The one word girl spoke.
"Ethel says that she feels weird"
"You should, a hug is a sign of affection letting you know others care for you and are there to comfort you whenever you feel sad" Viridis said. He only had one hug before and that was from someone he didn't even know.
He had no idea if she knew who he was but she seemed nice to the blonde, a bit pale but nice to him. He couldn't even recall her name but she did have long hair and she was the one who approached him when he was at a lake outside of the nations where monsters gathered.
Showing affection wasn't his strong suit as he usually had a stoic expression on his face while in Gamindustri. He was just starting to show his feelings in this new world, so giving a hug to someone was new to him as well as to Ethel.
"Kill… Kill"
"Ethel says that she feels something besides bloodlust" Karin said with a shocked expression.
Viridis turned his head to Karin. "Do you want to join in too?" He asked as the fox eared girl nodded and joined the hug.
"Kill?"
"Ethel asks if she could take up your offer to join you" Karin said.
"Of course you can join me" Viridis said with a smile. "You both can join me on one condition" He then let the two go.
"Kill?"
"You have to stop saying kill"
Ethel looked at Karin as the fox-eared fairy smiled to her friend. "Alright" Ethel said. "I'll stop saying kill for every word"
Karin looked at Viridis with tears before hugging him. "Thank you for giving Ethel this chance"
"Karin, you're crying? Who made you cry, I'll kill them" She said as Karin turned to her.
"No Ethel, these are tears of joy" Karin said as the two had a happy moment that made Viridis to smile at.
"You're a fencer right…" Karin asked leaving him to say his own name.
"Viridis, my name is Viridis" He said. "I am a fencer"
"Where is your fairy partner?" She asked.
"Oh, she is back in Zelwinds doing business" He said.
"So you can't transform?" Ethel said and saw him smile.
"Oh, I can transform alright" Viridis then through his spear up as it impaled him and was consumed by light before showing him in his HDD Form.
The two looked shocked just like Lola. "Whoa that is amazing" Karin said. "Where are we heading?"
Viridis nodded. "Right now I'm a just travelling doing a few quests" He saw Karin and Ethel nod. "Since your joining me we can see the sights this world has to offer"
"Hmm" Ethel seemed to be thinking.
"Something wrong" He asked the quiet girl.
"I heard some rumours going around of a fencer being able to Fairize without a fairy" Ethel said as Karin shot up.
"I heard those rumours to!"
"Lola… already you are spreading word of me… I guess we need a chat later you little money grabber" Viridis thought. "Word seems to be spreading quickly then" He whispered.
"You are the No Fairy Fencer?" Karin asked as she looked in his azure eyes.
"I guess I am" Viridis answered. "They already gave me a title"
"The No Fairy Fencer" Ethel said as she pointed at Viridis. "Viridis, the No Fairy Fencer"
Viridis rubbed the back of his head. "That sounds kind of cool… kind of" He said as he looked at his two companions. "Let's go, okay?"
The two nodded and the three left the area and on to the next dungeon.
Meanwhile back in Gamindustri Green Heart the goddess of Leanbox was pacing back and forth. "Where is he?" She said a little worried. "Did he run away?"
"Verty-poo, calm down haven't you heard of the saying 'if you love something let it go, if it comes back to you it's yours…" The goddess of Planeptune, Neptune said.
The goddess of Lastation, Noire looked over to Neptune in shock. "You actually said something wise" She said.
"… and if it gets hit by a car then you don't want it anymore" Neptune finished as Noire face planted as well as others in the room except for Vert and the other goddess Blanc, the goddess of Lowee.
"Nevermind" Noire said.
Vert turned to the three goddess who were with their own younger siblings, Neptune's little sister Nepgear, Noire's little sister Uni, and Blanc's little twin sisters Rom and Ram. "How could he possibly disappear?"
Blanc looked up from her book and stared at Thunder Tits as she called her. "I don't mean to be rude when I say this but don't we have a bigger problem at hand with the leak?" She asked as Vert sighed.
When Viridis seemingly vanished someone found out and leaked it in Gamindustri. Vert searched everywhere for him but she couldn't even find him, not even at his favourite place in Leanbox.
Then after the leak something that no one would have thought happened not even they would have thought happened.
A cult emerged.
A cult called the Green Brotherhood, members wearing green robes preaching about Green Brother and spreading his influence as their one true god. The cultists called his disappearing the Vanishing and they even started to try and resurrect their god.
The numbers of the Green Brotherhood were low and the members of said cult weren't even from the four nations. They had no idea where the originated from and they didn't do anything dangerous…yet, they could cause major problems like sacrificing people they themselves label as heretics, heathens and non-believers.
"The Green Brotherhood… Correct?" Vert asked as she saw the flat chested goddess nod.
"Hmph, why should we care?" Noire asked. "They are just followers of your brother Vert it's not like their causing any problems for us"
"Yet, they aren't causing problems yet" Blanc said. "Besides they came from a place with unknown origin"
"Um e-excuse me but if we find Vert's brother wouldn't the cultists calm down?" Nepgear asked the group.
"Yeah what Nep Jr said" The airhead goddess agreed with her little taller sister.
"There is a chance that won't work" Blanc said before looking down at her book.
"Besides we don't know where he is anyway" The oracle of Leanbox, Chika said with hands on her hips. The other three oracles of the nations entered into the room alongside her.
The girl with long blue hair with a pair of glasses named Mina looked towards Histoire. "Wouldn't you be able to find him?" She asked the tiny fairy.
The tome shook her head. "I can't find him in Gamindustri at all" She said. "It's almost like his code was cut out"
The oracle of Lastation, Kei went into a thinking pose before her eyes widened in realization. "Hey Histoire"
The oracle of Planeptune looked over towards Kei. "Yes Kei?" She asked.
"Would it be possible for him to, I don't know, enter a different dimension?" She asked.
Chika scoffed. "Other dimensions, that's absurd"
"Actually… other dimensions are possible" Neptune said getting everyone to look at her. "What? Haven't you all played Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory?"
They all just stared at her like she just said something in a different language. "Well I don't think it's not possible" Histoire said as they all ignored Neptune.
"Oi, oi you ignored me!" Neptune cried. "Is it because of the fourth wall? I'm sorry!"
"But how would we even be able to get to another dimension?" Kei asked.
Mina then looked up at the others. "He might have left of his own accord"
Vert turned to the oracle of Lowee. "Own accord?" She said "Why would he even leave?"
"He might have showed a few signs before his departure" Mina said. "That is he ever left"
"Well as the story's main heroine it is my duty to go on this quest to get Verty-poo's little bro and save the day once again" Neptune said as Vert turned to her.
"He is my brother, so I will do this"
"You both can't" Histoire said gaining their attention.
"Huh? But why not" Neptune whined.
"If you go to another dimension you might not be able to get back and would be stuck over there"
"I got an idea" Nepgear said with a hand in the air.
"Put your hand down" Uni said. "We are not in class"
"S-sorry" Nepgear said before continuing. "Why don't we send a Recon Drone?"
"I'm sorry a what?" Uni asked.
Nepgear then pulled out a small robotic like object in her hands. "I can create a drone to recon the dimension to find him" She said with stars in her eyes.
"How would it come back then?" Kei asked.
"It won't" Neptune's sister said. "It will have a live video feed"
"So we can watch it here while it is in the other dimension" Blanc said as she glanced up from her book.
"Then it's settled" Vert said. "We will send a drone"
"I'll finish making the drone" Nepgear said before speeding off to who knows where.
"Then I guess it's our job to find how to open a portal to other dimensions right?" Mina asked as Vert nodded.
"B-but what will we do?" Said Neptune as she looked sad at not being able to do anything cool or heroic.
"We will run our nations, idiot" Noire said as she began to leave as did the others.
Vert looked out the window of her home. "Where are you?" She asked no one.
Viridis was walking with his two female companions before stopping and looking towards the sky as Ethel and Karin continuing walking in front.
"What was that just now" He muttered lowly.
Karin and Ethel both stopped and turned to him. "Is there something wrong?" Karin asked.
Viridis shook his head. "It's nothing, let's go"
The party of three then left towards their next destination.
