Chapter 8

Somewhere in Gamindustri a cloaked figure was walking in some ruin based dungeon. In the figure's hands appeared to be a tome, it had a dark brown covered with a red star symbol on the front.

The figure was wearing a green cloak with a hood covering their face. if you looked at their face you would only see darkness. This person was a member of the Green Brotherhood.

The cultist continued to walk in the ruin dungeon before coming to an altar, the cultist smiled behind the hood and the darkness that blocked their face.

"I've found it" The cultist said as they put the book on the altar. The cultist opened the book as they stopped on one of the middle pages. "Here it is"

The Green Brotherhood cultist looked up with at the wall in front of them, a look of happiness in their eyes. "Soon Lord Green Brother" The cultist said as the voice could now be identified as female. "Soon you will resurrect and you will reclaim your land"

The female cult member kneeled down as a green circle appeared underneath her. "Lord Viridis, we are yours to command, we serve you with undying loyalty. We abide your command and answer only to you" She pledged as a large statue on the wall had a green circle over it. "The Green Brotherhood are your loyal soldiers, we will resurrect you from the Vanishing and will help you reclaim your lost land"

She looked up with a smile. "Your numbers still grow and I swear as the rest of the Brotherhood that we will help you regain your throne on Celestia and this world of yours our God"

The cultist held a hand out as a green circle appeared before it as the pages of the book began to glow a bright green colour. "Knights of an age long past, to serve the one true god I call upon you, generated from the Vanished One awaken once more to serve your lord, the Vanished God" She chanted as the statue on the wall in front of her eyes glowed to life. "Awaken from your sealed state and rise to serve the true god!" After she finished chanting the glowing green pages shot out beams that struck the statue of a large knight that was in front of the alter.

Suddenly the statue broke apart from the wall as the stone started crumbling off the large knight many of the smaller knights on the sides of the wall started to do the same seconds after the large knight.

The cultist stood as the large knight turned its view towards her. The knight looked to be robotic with a humanoid appearance. It was covered in shining metallic armour covering it from head to toe. The face was completely covered expect from the eyes that had a soft white glow to them, the armour seemed to fit the knight well, the armour it was wearing seemed strong and could take a beating from strong foes.

Its eyes were behind a visor attached on across its face as the armour it was wearing looked to be a type of full-body armour with extra armour on top in places like its torso, shoulders, arms and legs.

The cultist had to admit it looked amazing, something befitting of her god of course. The cultist watched the large knight in fascination and awe with a bit of fear in case it would lash out at her for being an enemy to her lord.

The large knight then went onto one knee and held its hand in front of where its heart would be if it had a heart. The cultist stood up as she picked up the book and turned around to see smaller versions of the large knight also kneeling while she walked down the path.

"Follow me" She said. "We have work to do to revive our god" As the female cultist walked away from the ruins the large knight followed soon after with some of the smaller versions following while the others stayed to protect the holy site.

"Vanished Knights" She said to herself. "Welcome to the Green Brotherhood" She turned to face the large knight as she took in its appearance once more.

"You will be in the Green Legion and one of the vital members of the Green Crusade" She said as she looked down at the book before holding it tight against her body. "We still have a lot to do in order for both the resurrection and the reclamation my lord"

She then looked up at the sky as the clouds went past. "Soon my lord" Her voice was but a whisper.

In Planeptune a tiny fairy looking oracle was hovering in a room looking at a small screen in front of her. Her small eyes widened as a smile graced her lips. "I…I think I did it" She said. "I got to run this with the other oracles"

Histoire floated to the side as she opened up a program called Verpe. It was a useful program created in Leanbox that allowed one to talk to another from a great distance online, it was a very popular program.

She opened up a screen as she started to call Kei, Mina and Chika. The first person to answer was Lowee's oracle. "Good afternoon Histoire" Mina said with a smile.

"Good afternoon as well Mina" Histoire replied.

"Is something the matter?"

"I think I figured it out" Histoire answered. "I'll send it when Kei and Chika answer…if they do of course"

The second person to answer was Kei. "Histoire, Mina" She said with a slight nod.

Chika then joined the call shortly after. She brushed her hair out of her face as she looked at the three other callers. "What is it Histoire?" She asked getting straight to the point. "I'm quite busy"

"Doing what? Trying to get Vert to notice you?" Kei asked as she rolled her eyes.

"No, I'm not" Chika replied with a frown. "I am trying to figure out a way to get through to the other dimension Viridis disappeared to"

Kei had a look of surprise for a second before it disappeared. "To be honest I never expected you to do something like that…it's for Vert isn't it" She said with a slight deadpan.

Before Chika could retort Histoire spoke up. "I believe I have figured it out" She said getting the oracles of Lastation and Leanbox's attention.

"You have?" They both asked at the same time.

Histoire nodded. "Since if Viridis did manage to leave the dimension by himself that would mean that he would have been able to ascend to HDD" The fairy told the others in the call.

"Are you telling me he has the ability to transform?" Kei asked. "Especially when the other CPU candidates could not"

"That's what I am saying" Histoire said.

Kei turned her view to Chika. "Did you know of this?" She asked while Chika had a look of surprise.

"No, we didn't know this" Chika said. "I was never informed of this and Vert also didn't know, I would know if she did"

"So he used his CPU form to move or open a gateway to another dimension?" Mina asked.

"Kind of" Histy said. "He used his HDD without transforming at all"

"Go on" The three oracles said in unison.

"He channelled his power from instead of making himself transform into his HDD but into the power to open a portal to another dimension" Histoire told the three. "However this must have only made a temporary portal to the other dimension"

"So you're saying that we can open a portal the same way he did but it might not be the same location?" Chika asked as the tome nodded.

"That just raises the question" Kei said. "Who do we use to open the portal?"

"What do you mean Kei?" Mina asked.

"I mean who would open the portal to send the drone in" Kei said. "There is also the fact that HDD is different among each other"

"You're right" Histoire said. "We need to choose someone to open the portal"

That's when they all came to a conclusion. "Definitely not Neptune" The four oracles said at once.

"She might be able to open the portal by accident but she would probably jump through it straight afterwards" Kei said as they all agreed.

"As much as I don't want to say this but…sadly it cannot be Vert" Chika said.

"Why's that?" Histoire asked.

"Vert is still depressed over Viridis' disappearance" Chika told the fairy looking tome. "She would probably jump into the portal as well"

"So that leaves Noire and Blanc" Histoire said. "I highly doubt they would jump into the portal"

"But that also means that there is a chance that the dimension would be different" Kei said. "Vert would be the ideal choice as their energy is nearly the same as they came from Leanbox"

"But this is a chance we have to take" Chika said seriously. "We got to have either Noire or Blanc open the portal"

"I think Noire would either be too busy or won't even open the portal due to her…tsundere tendencies" Kei said rubbing the back of her head.

"So it's just Blanc then?" Mina asked.

"It seems that way" Histoire said. "Are you going to inform her Mina?"

"I will but first is the drone ready?"

"I will go check with Nepgear first" Histoire said.

"I'll go inform Blanc about it and then we should discuss where we will open the portal" Mina said before she left as did Histoire.

That left just Kei and Chika. "…" They both stayed there is silence until one of them decided to start a conversation.

"So how's Vert doing now?" Kei asked.

"…She's still depressed but she probably demand to increase the dimension hopping progress if we didn't get it done" Chika said.

"I see" Kei said. "But…what are your thoughts on Viridis?"

"Huh?"

"You heard me" She said. "Do you hate him?"

"Of course not" Chika replied almost yelling.

"Then what was he to you?" Kei asked. "I have seen you gush over Vert and spoil her but to everyone else you come off as, what Lady Blanc would say, a bitch to others"

Chika mumbled something as Kei rose an eyebrow. "What was that?"

"I said, I saw him as rival…but I also treated him nicely!"

"So he was just an obstacle in your way for Vert?"

Chika started to get angrier and angrier at how Kei accused her. Sure she wanted Vert's attention, to be Vert's sister but that Viridis wasn't an obstacle! She saw him as a rival before she realised that he wasn't.

Viridis wasn't an obstacle and hearing that got her angry. She was angry and she didn't even realize it.

"Viridis isn't an obstacle!" She growled out as Kei stayed silent. "Don't you dare call Viridis an obstacle around me ever again Kei Jinguji or else"

"I see" Kei said with a rare smile apart from her normal expression. "So you DO care for others instead of Vert"

Chika gasped when she realised what Kei made her do but before she could say anything Histoire and Mina came back.

"Blanc agreed to go ahead with it, she seemed pretty excited" Mina said.

"I have just finished talking to Nepgear about the drone" Histoire said. "And she informed me that it was completed"

"Wow she works fast" Mina said in surprise.

"When it comes to machines and robots she is a technological genius" Histoire said.

"I still can't believe she managed to complete it in such short time" Kei said.

"Where do open the portal then?" Chika asked starting to grow annoyed that they were wasting time.

"The best place should be somewhere near or directly where Viridis left the dimension" Histoire said. "That would bring us closer to the original place he was dropped off at"

"But that doesn't mean that he won't be there" Kei said.

"I know but it's worth a shot right?" Histoire asked. "Where would Viridis open a portal?"

"…I may know" Chika said.

"You do?" Kei, Mina and Histoire asked.

"I don't know if he opened a portal there but there is one place in Leanbox that is his favourite place" Chika said.

"Where is that?" Histoire asked.

"It's the tallest building in Leanbox" Chika said. "I'll show you an image or through the drone later"

"When are we going to send the drone?" Mina asked.

"Maybe later in the day" Kei said. "That way we can finish for the day before we sent the drone through"

"I assume we will be watching this from Planeptune?" Chika asked.

"I guess so as the drone would probably be connected to the TV there" Histoire replied.

"Well then, I'll see you all there shortly" Kei said. "Goodbye" She then hanged up shortly afterwards.

"I'll be taking my leave as well" Mina said. "Goodbye Histoire, Chika"

"Chika, thank you for your help" Histoire said. "I will see you in Planeptune shortly"

"Yeah, see ya soon" Chika said as she left the call.

Histoire closed the screen as she floated towards Nepgear's room once more. She had to inform her that it was now time to travel to the other dimension.

Sorry if the Knight's description isn't amazing and fully detailed, the image in my head made it hard to describe. The Green Brotherhood is on the move, the Gamindustri gang are making progress and are about to send the drone.
