I admit, I've been getting second thoughts when I put up the first chapter. But after seeing the reviews (Even through it's a few), it made me a bit more confident to write. I've yet to have a detailed review from someone, but someone's gonna make one eventually. I guess.
Anyways, I really hope I don't disappoint any of you while I'm learning to write my first fanfic. I know I'm going full Nepgear on you here, but I'm still a bit nervous on this. Like I said before, I appreciate it if you all leave reviews and point out any mistakes so I can improve in the future. Besides, this is my first time writing a combat scene.
I own nothing except my OCs. The respective content of Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Compile Hearts, !dea Factory and any other official parties.
3rd person view, Nexon
Shifting his position behind the rock where he was hiding, he peeked his eyes out towards where the four goddesses were arguing and fighting over the position of 'True Goddess'. Sure enough, he could see the mechanical wings behind their backs and their weapons which didn't look like they could be wielded by ordinary means. Luckily they haven't seen him yet, as they were still focused on each other, literally wanting to tear each other's throats out.
"Nonsense! We've been fighting for hundreds of years. Why quit now?" The purple haired woman snapped at Black Heart.
"That's my line! I won't let any of you take the title of True Goddess!" The white-clad woman hissed at the three, looking ready to chop their heads off.
"*sigh* How long do we have to put up with this pointless fighting?" The green haired woman said with a disinterested look on her face.
'Yep,' Nexon thought. 'Those are the exact words those four said when I first booted up the game and went through the first few minutes of HDN Re;birth 1. 'It feels different though, seeing their conversation up close and in real time.'
"Well then, do us a favour and just die!" White Heart snapped, while swinging her axe towards Green Heart. The green haired goddess easily evaded the attack, still retaining her calm demeanour.
"My! Such raucous manners!" Green Heart sighed. "I have matters of destiny to fulfill, unlike you."
"Shut It!" The white goddess shouted, her bangs overshadowing her eyes, giving Green Heart what Nexon liked to call 'The Death eye' (A single red eye shining from her overshadowed face). "I can't stand the way you talk all high n' mighty, Thunder Tits!"
Nexon allowed himself a small snicker, quiet enough so that the goddesses wouldn't hear.
"…Breasts are symbolic of maturity and fertility… qualities of a goddess." Green Heart elaborated. "With such logic, it can be said you are the least… fitting."
Green Heart allowed herself to smirk.
"The hell's that? All that crap, talkin' out her butt. I'll kill you!" White Heart shouted again.
"Got you!"
While the two were arguing over breasts and whatnot, Black Heart took the time to surprise them with one of her attacks. Unfortunately, White and Green Heart managed to evade the slash.
"Wha-?!" Green Heart stuttered, surprised.
"Dammit, that was close!" White Heart quickly recovered from the surprise attack.
The black goddess laughed in amusement. "It's your fault for idly babbling in the midst of battle!"
Green Heart sighed. "Really, how much longer does this sterile battle have to continue?"
Suddenly, a 'old and melodramatic' voice answered Green Heart's question seemingly out of nowhere.
"Well then, why not get rid of one of you?" The voice said.
Nexon immediately recognised the person's voice. 'Oh no,' he inwardly groaned. 'Arfoire.'
"True… That could be the catalyst of change we've been searching for." Green Heart mused.
'Wow, are you three not going to question where this voice came from?' Nexon ranted in his mind. 'I gotta find her now.'
The young teen stopped peeking out from the rock, trying to pinpoint where the voice came from. He couldn't move now to find where she was, but it sounded like it came from a mass of bushes and rocks a good few metres to his left. While he was scanning the area, he overheard the conversation between the concealed Arfoire and the goddesses.
"Not a bad idea." Black Heart agreed with the mature goddess.
"What? What are you talking all about?" The purple clad goddess was confused as to who the Green and Black goddesses were speaking to.
"So who's the sad one to be ousted here?" The white goddess questioned.
"I suggest… Purple Heart. Neptune." Arfoire answered, with a bit of malice in her tone. The goddesses couldn't hear her tone, but Nexon could certainly sense the intent behind it.
'Not Neptune.' Nexon inwardly begged. 'Please not her. I don't want this to happen.'
Nexon would come and shout out where Arfoire was, but he would be exposed, and the goddesses would eyes him suspiciously. Much to his disappointment, he didn't move from his hiding spot and continued looking for Arfoire.
"It would be difficult to get rid of her later, so I can agree to that." Green Heart said, to her approval.
"Yeah, I'm fine with that." White Heart agreed.
"Who are you three talking to?" Purple Heart inquired, getting more confused.
"Ahahahahaha! It's settled then! So sorry!" Black Heart said, with malice laced in her voice.
'NONONONONONONONONONONONO!' Nexon panicked.
"What?! What are you all talking about?!" Purple Heart just shouted in confusion and surprise.
'Well, at least they have genuine reactions. Not like in Re;birth 1. Purple Heart had such a disinterested tone.' He thought in a small sense of optimism.
He then heard the sounds of swords clashing, and Nexon immediately turned to the goddesses, peeking from the rock once again. Purple Heart and Black Heart were caught in a deadlock, struggling to overpower each other.
'Okay, now is the time to move. I gotta find Arfoire. She's gotta be somewhere around here…' Nexon started to sprint where the voice last was, unnoticed by the goddesses that were currently in their battle. He had his Samurai Blade pistol pointed towards the bushes, trying to see if there was someone there. Sure enough, he could see her leaving, away from the arena. She was barely visible, but he believed that he could reach her.
"Oh no you don't!" Nexon shouted. His voice was masked by the sound of blades clashing, unfortunately, so the witch could not hear him. Furrowing his brows, he pushed his way through the foliage towards Arfoire. He was almost there…
"I got you Arfoire! There's no… escape…" His voice trailed off as he saw that she had suddenly disappeared to goddess knows where. He looked around in confusion, before he heard the pained cry of Purple Heart getting her weapon knocked from her grip. He turned to her in alarm. They were going to kill her soon.
There was only one thing left he could do now.
He started sprinting towards the arena, as the unarmed purple goddess flipped backwards and tried to fly towards her sword. But it was knocked out of the air by Green Heart's spear, which left Neptune fully vulnerable. Black Heart started to charge towards Purple Heart, blade poised to kill.
"I'll finish this!" Black Heart announced. "Begone!"
"Not if I have anything to do with it!"
"Huh?!"
Just when Black Heart was about to send the vulnerable Purple Heart off the edge, Nexon tackled Purple Heart out of mid-air, sending them both to the ground. He hugged himself against her so that she wouldn't get injured once they were sent tumbling. Black Heart's finishing move sliced thin air, her electricity attack arcing against nothing and with Purple Heart safe from harm. The three opposing goddess were dumbstruck as they turned to the interloper.
Purple Heart opened her eyes, surprised that she wasn't struck down to the landmass below Celestia. She was met with the sight of Nexon's face, her blue eyes meeting with his. Except that the goddess's eyes had power symbols in them.
"What are-" Purple Heart began, before Nexon interrupted her.
"Are you okay?"
The purple goddess could feel her face burning from here, being this close. She only managed to nod, and Nexon smiled at that.
"Good. Now stay here and rest, I gotta deal with them."
"But you… you can't fight them…" Purple Heart protested, knowing that the teen would get himself killed.
Nexon ignored her, releasing himself from the goddess and standing up. Turning to the three goddesses of Lastation, Lowee and Leanbox, he saw the intrigued but also suspicious looks on their faces. He turned to the fallen goddess for a second, mouthing the words 'Trust me'. Then he faced them again.
"Who the hell are you? This is goddess business!" White Heart was the first to speak out.
"None of your concern." Nexon answered flatly, with seriousness in his tone as he pointed his pistol towards the three.
"Hmm… quite a interesting predicament. How did you get up to Celestia in the first place?" Green Heart ask, her expression unchanging.
"Like I said to the white goddess over there… none of your concern." The aforementioned deity scowled, getting annoyed. The black-clad goddess was the last one to speak up out of the bunch.
"Why did you come here? Why did you decide to jump in all of a sudden?"
Nexon sighed. They wouldn't believe him, but… he had to say this.
"I came here to protect Purple Heart. To defend her with my life, even if it means giving it up for her."
Then he was met with silence as the three goddesses stared at him. Two seconds. Four seconds. Six seconds.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
The three goddesses then burst into laughter, as Nexon felt his cheeks burning in embarrassment, lowering his pistol. Black Heart was trying to hold back her laughter, White Heart was just hysterical and Green Heart was chuckling, her hand in front of her mouth. The three eventually stopped after half a minute.
"Ah… you're so cute and naïve." Black Heart said, a amused look on her face. "To think a ordinary person like you could fight against us three."
"My, my… so bold. But… are you serious? Pitting up against goddesses is considered suicide, after all."
"Yes." Nexon said, his face filled with determination, raising up his pistol once again. "I'm serious."
"Oh man… you're such an idiot. I'll say this now; get out of our way, and we won't harm you. You'll be returned safely from Celestia. Otherwise…"
"No." Nexon interrupted. "I was sent here from another dimension. I can't turn back now, and I have sworn to protect her. I'm not from here; I don't have anything to return to in this place."
The three goddesses just looked at him in disbelief, then to each other, quizzical looks on their faces. 'Is he for real?' they all thought at once. But they shook that thought out of their heads and they raised their weapons.
"Alright asshole… we warned you." White Heart said, grinning. Then a chill went down Nexon's spine.
'This is not gonna end well. I had no former combat training to speak of. Guess I just have to dodge their attacks…' Nexon took a deep breath, before he cocked back the hammer of his pistol. It was the first time he was in combat, and an actual one involving blades and guns. The guns were mainly on his side though, so he would have a advantage against them.
Or so he thought.
Black Heart was the first to strike, as she charged towards Nexon at a alarming speed. Nexon flinched in surprise as he narrowly missed the diagonal slash that was directed towards him, but he quickly recovered and tried to slash at the black-clad goddess. She easily evaded it though, but then again, the guns were on his side. Aiming his pistol, he fired off three shots towards her, hoping they would hit.
One shot managed to get through, damaging her abdomen. But she deflected the next two that came at her with her blade, with no effort at all. Nexon's jaw almost dropped. 'What?!' He thought in surprise.
Holding the knife on his left hand backhanded, he rested the gun on his wrist and started to unload his magazine on her. He had fired about twelve shots in total, before it was depleted with the prompt of the gun clicking. However though, Black Heart managed to avoid and deflect the projectiles, none of them hitting her. She laughed cockily.
"Ahahahaha! Come on!" She challenged. "Is this the best you got?"
Nexon groaned, as he saw that none of his shots managed to get her. He ejected the mag, which dissolved into a bunch of data and binary code.
'Wait,' He thought. 'Where do I get the rest of my ammo?'
His answer came in the form of a fully loaded magazine materialising in front of him, and he caught it in mid-air with a small hint of surprise. He loaded it into his gun without question, flicking down the slide catch as it loaded in a new cartridge with a satisfying click.
'Ah,' He realised. 'So the ammo just comes out of nowhere.'
After the brief couple of seconds when Nexon was figuring out how the reloading system worked in this dimension, Black Heart charged again, this time with a overhead slash.
"Ah!" The teen let out a small yelp of surprise before ducking, however, Black Heart didn't give him another chance to slash at her. So she quickly followed up with a punch at the teen's cheek, sending him recoiling and falling to the ground. The black goddess then tried to finish him off by raising her sword and stabbing into him, but he quickly rolled out of the way, making Black Heart stab into the ground instead. Nexon fired five shots at her before she had pulled out the sword, all of which hit her. Black Heart grimaced in pain, pulled out her sword and retreated back to where the other two were patiently waiting their turn.
'Somehow,' Nexon thought, while standing back up, 'I think they're just going easy on me. They moved so fast before…'
White Heart was next to strike. She suddenly went into the air, then started charging down towards Nexon, her axe raised. He almost forgot that they could fly.
"Hraaaaaaaaggh!" The white goddess noticeably was slower than Black Heart, but she was still moving pretty fast. The teen dived out of the way, as the ground where he was once standing cracked from the force of her axe.
'Dang, I could have been chopped into two right there.' Nexon thought, shuddering.
The teen flipped himself over, aiming his pistol and firing the rest of his magazine towards the white goddess. Some of his shots missed due to his untrained use of firearms, but some of them did hammer into White Heart. Somehow though, she barely flinched while she ripped her axe out of the ground.
'To be fair, she is a bit of a tank in the game.' He hastily thought as he started to get back up.
After White Heart had recovered her axe, she snapped her head towards Nexon, when made the teen flinch from her threatening presence. Using this her advantage, she swung her axe at the teen while he was still getting up, which caused him to stumble backwards as the blade grazed his chest.
White Heart continued to not let the teen have a chance to reload, as she constantly started to swing the skull-crushing axe. Nexon barely managed to avoid each swing, but it was clear that this was tiring him out. Seeing the opportunity, she brung her axe overhead and brung it down onto the teen.
At the last second, Nexon sidestepped the overhead swing, which left White Heart wide open to any attacks. Bringing back his knife, he made a powerful slash against the white goddess's shoulder, making her flinch. She growled in anger, letting one of her hand go off the axe's handle and punched the teen in the chest. This caused him to stumble backwards, clutching his ribs.
White Heart then pulled out her axe, going back to where Black Heart and Green Heart were floating. While Nexon was recovering, he took the chance to reload his pistol, as the Green Goddess readied herself.
'This is suspiciously easy.' Nexon thought again.
Green Heart immediately charged ahead, with her spear aimed towards him. Nexon jumped out of the way of her thrust, but she followed up by quickly turning around and slicing him in the chest. Nexon recoiled, as he clutched his chest, strafing backwards. There was no blood, but it still hurt like hell.
'Why would Timore send me here to fight against clearly overleveled goddesses? So far I feel like I've been fighting with a BB gun and rubber knife!'
The green goddess jousted at Nexon again, but he batted the spear to the side and slashed at a Green heart's stomach. He noticed that even though it was meant to slice it open, the green goddess barely even flinched. He then noticed that there was a sharp pain in his chest, where he was slashed. His shirt clung to the wound, a red spot starting to spread throughout it.
'I'm bleeding from inside my shirt?!' Nexon thought in surprise. 'What is the logic in this dimension?'
Green Heart reacted to the slash by kicking the teen in the chest, adding insult to injury. He stumbled backwards a few metres, before regaining his footing. But as he was stepping backwards, he noticed that a few pebbles tumbled behind him, and that his left heel wasn't on the ground. He turned his head, seeing that he was on the edge of the floating island. Almost jumping in surprise, he faced Green Heart again, only to see her floating with the other two goddesses.
'Now they decide to gang up on me?' Nexon groaned.
"This is boring the crap out of me. You haven't even chipped off the slightest bit of our HP." White Heart remarked.
"It was amusing, seeing you try to fight against us… but we shouldn't waste anymore time." Green Heart said nonchalantly.
"Ahahahahaha! Now then, let's end this pointless fight!" Black Heart laughed, getting into a stance.
'Well.' Nexon thought. 'I'm screwed. I knew this was too easy.'
The three goddesses charged forward, with their weapons ready to strike him down. Accepting the inevitable, the teen put his arms in front of his face, bracing himself.
"I'm sorry, Neptune." Nexon muttered, closing his eyes. He waited for the blades to slam into his body, sending him to the landmass below.
…
Except… the impact never came.
Opening one of his eyes, he saw that the goddesses were frozen in place, their weapons stuck in their 'poised to kill' positions. He lowered his arms, looking around in surprise. There wasn't any wind, and the clouds didn't move either. All that he heard was silence.
"What, did someone shout ZA WARUDO and freeze time?" Nexon allowed himself to joke, despite the strange situation he was in. He didn't expect someone to respond, though.
"Well, yes. Just without the shouting, of course." Timore's voice echoed in his thoughts.
"Oh, okay." Nexon acknowledged, unsurprised by Timore's sudden cut-in. "So why did you send me here, without any real means to defend myself?"
"Well, it's mostly because so that I can… test you. And you did hold up well, and a little bit past my expectations, of course."
"Test me? I don't see the reason for that. I could have gotten a game over here!" Nexon argued.
"Please calm yourself. It was just so that I could see if your SSD would work."
"SSD? What, I have a transformation similar to the goddesses?"
"Yes. But unfortunately, you don't seem to have the capabilities to activate it's full form. Yet. The only thing you do get though, is the weapons you gain from activating it and the dramatically increased combat capabilities that CPUs have. You can't fly though, but this will be able to tip the scales in your favour."
"Wait… full form? So I don't get armour?" Nexon said, disappointed.
"Yes. But there will be some small physical changes to your body. You won't be getting taller or bulkier, but your eyes will have power symbols in them and your hair will start to have some purple colours in them."
"Well, at least it's better than nothing…" Nexon admitted, smiling a tad bit that at least he has a transformation.
"Alright… well then, let me force run SSD."
"Uhhh... wait a second." Nexon interrupted?"
"Yes?" Timore said, curious as to why he interrupted him.
"How did you stop time?"
"Well, I do have my ways. This does tire me out, though, so I can't use this frequently. Anyways, I'll get back to force running your SSD."
Nexon then felt a warm sensation within his chest, which spread throughout his body. Closing his eyes, he let the energy flow within his system, as it started to change him.
Parts of his hair started to change to purple, while the wound that was inside his shirt started to fade, along with the blood that spread throughout his shirt, Nexon started to feel… calm. And confident. He opened his eyes, which were now a sky blue, and had power symbols in them, that were akin to a Purple Hearts. He glanced over to the aforementioned goddess, which was passed out on the ground.
"Guess she was unconscious during my battle, huh?" Nexon said, with a now slightly dauntless voice.
He raised his pistol, which went through some noticeable changes. The grip was now made out of carbon fibre, with the Planeptune symbol encrusted into it. The slide was a now a dark purple, the entire frame made out of chrome along with the barrel. There was also a huge square silencer at the barrel of the gun, which seemed to fit perfectly with the front sight. It also now housed a laser pointer in front of the trigger guard, which was purple too because of the colour scheme.
The knife he gripped in his left hand was now the combat knife from BO3, with the pure metal alloy Orichalcum as the blade. As a result, it has the looks of the 'Dark Matter' camo, which naturally glowed with various purple hues.
"Playtime's over." Nexon said, smirking. As he fired off a shot towards the black goddess, a noticeable blue mist smoked out from the gun, accompanied with a good kick. At least he was strong enough to at keep it very still.
'Huh, it sounds different than the gun I was firing before, too… no, maybe that's because of time being slowed down.'
He saw the projectile move a few centimetres before it was slowed down, then it came to a full stop right in front of the black goddess's face. He fired off two more shots towards the other goddesses, the bullets doing the same as the first. Time slowly resumed, then the bullets sped up again as everything went back to a normal pace.
And much to everyone's surprise, the bullets exploded, leaving behind a blue mist. This caused the three goddesses to be knocked back, sending them to the ground a few metres away.
"AGH! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?!" White Heart shouted, lifting her face up.
"How did he get those weapons?!" Black Heart blurted, standing up and staring at the teen's new arsenal with a nervous look.
"His eyes… they've got power symbols in them, like us… who is he?!" Green Heart uttered, actually looking surprised for once.
"Guess." The now changed Nexon interjected nonchalantly, towards Green Heart.
"WHAT THE HELL?! WIPE THAT LOOK OFF YOUR FACE! I'M GOING TO TEAR YOU APART!" White Heart screamed, standing up and giving him the red eye.
"I'd like to see you try." Nexon calmly challenged, smirking.
The three goddesses were left with many questions, as they eyed the boy in front of them. He had been panicking and dodging their half-assed attacks a few minutes ago, but now he was kicking their divine asses with just a few shots of his previously thought underpowered weapon. They had to take him seriously now, since that gun had chipped away a small but good portion of their health.
The goddesses sped towards Nexon once again, as the teen took a stance. He started running towards them, then at the last moment, slid under them and their extended weapons. He then turned around and fired a three shots at White Heart, making her stagger heavily before any of them could react.
"AGH!"
The two that were left unscathed by the bullets faced the teen, lifting off into the air and spreading out so that he couldn't keep track of them. Deciding on a target, he aimed at Green Heart, firing a barrage of bullets. While the green goddess was evading his bullets, he quickly turned around after his magazine was depleted, to deflect Black Heart's blade. While she was left wide open, he slashed the surprised goddess in the leg, then uppercutted her in the face.
"GRAAAAAH! DIE!" The white goddess that Nexon shot at earlier roared in fury.
Now he has the problem of both Green Heart and White Heart swooping down on him, spear and axe ready to cut him in half. He quickly grabbed the black goddess, moving and kicking her towards White Heart. He then rolled to the side, loading in a new magazine while White Heart collided with Black Heart. The green goddess managed to avoid accidentally bumping into them, but she was met with a explosive bullet colliding with her cheek. She was blasted back from the impact, sent tumbling to the ground.
"Not going easy on me now, are ya?" Nexon boasted confidentially, while he blew away the blue mist that smoked from the barrel of the gun.
"Rrrgh… damn. One thing's for sure, he ain't a ordinary human." White Heart growled, untangling herself from Black Heart.
"How did he get so strong?" Black Heart wondered, as she scanned the boy from head to toe. The green goddess eventually got up, rubbing her forehead and floating over to Black Heart.
"One thing's for certain… we can't beat him like this. We have to work together in order to defeat him." Green Heart mused, while the two goddesses turned to her.
"Oh yeah?" White Heart questioned. "What do you suggest?"
Green Heart turned to Nexon, who was patiently waiting for them to make a move. The green goddess made a few hand gestures, as their plan started to formulate. Suddenly, Green Heart and Black Heart, the faster of the three, sped towards Nexon. White Heart was seen above, brandishing her axe. The two goddesses that sped towards him started rapidly attacking him, which Nexon responded to by constantly moving his body to dodge their attacks. He noticed that they were eventually getting faster, though, and he barely could keep up.
He raised his blade trying to deflect Green Heart's spear, but Black Heart immediately reacted to it by swinging upwards and disarming him. He saw as his knife went over the edge, down to the landmass below him. He was wide open now, as he was left bladeless. White Heart took the chance, swooping down with her axe ready.
"DIE!"
Nexon was knocked back several feet by the blow, being sent to the edge of the floating island. Rolling to the edge, he stopped himself right as he was about to fall off into the landmass below. Quickly standing up, he noticed that the three goddesses were a few metres away from him, but they were slowly approaching. He looked down to his ammo counter to the bottom, which he almost forgot about, and noticed that he was on his last magazine.
He couldn't defeat them like this.
He glanced at the unconscious Purple Heart, who was laid down a few metres away to his left. But he also noticed the cracks on the ground, which looked like they would give away at any moment. A plan was formulating in his head. A stupid one, but he reckoned that it would work. He sighed, lowering his pistol towards the ground, as the goddesses raised their eyebrows. Black Heart spoke up, confused as to what he was doing.
"What are you-"
"Saving Neptune."
He fired at the ground with the last of his rounds, the ground crumbling beneath him and Purple Heart. Since the purple goddess was unconscious and Nexon couldn't fly yet, they both started falling down from Celestia.
The three goddesses could only watch, as the teen dived down, along with Neptune falling. The teen threw his now useless pistol to the side, as the ammo counter he saw disappeared. That didn't matter now though, as he was only focused on Neptune's safety. He felt himself losing consciousness though, as he tried to reach out for Neptune. Each moment, he was getting more desperate as he tried to grab her. A wave of air pushed him away, and he grimaced as he got farther away.
"Neptune!" Nexon shouted, but the wind carried his voice away before it reached his ears.
Then something happened; Purple Heart de-transformed into her human self.
She had messy purple hair, that were up to her shoulders, and had two D-pad hair clips. She was wearing what appeared to be a oversized white hoodie jacket, with purple striped cuffs and lining. Her hood was the same colour as the stripes. There was pale, light blue and light lilac accents on her outfit, with a huge and round zipper that had the word 'N' on it. Her hoodie strings looked like they were plugs, and around her neck was a white choker. She was also wearing Lilac shoes that had blue and white accents, which were worn with sky blue and white stockings.
Nexon felt the blood draining from his head. He had to time to examine her; he needed to grab Neptune now. Groping at her hoodie, he started to beg to whatever gods he could think of to have him reach her and hold her close.
'Please don't separate me from her.' The teen prayed. 'Please!'
His prayers seemed to have been answered, and he finally managed to grab hold onto Neptune's jacket. He started pulling the unconscious girl close to him, as he started to hug her tightly, burying her face into his chest. The teen blinked for a moment, as the power symbols in his eyes disappeared. But they weren't back to blue anymore. They were purple, like Neptune's. Plus, the purple streaks on his hair didn't seem to dissapear.
'I'll protect you, Neptune.' Nexon promised. 'Even if it means going to the ends of Gamindustri with you.'
Those were his last thoughts as what was left of his consciousness started to fade away…
3rd person view, Compa
Tonight would be a very special night, for the cities of Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee and Leanbox respectively.
Four shooting stars fell from the skies, each of which having different colours.
The first one that fell was a shade of black. It represented Regality, which depicted Lastation pretty well.
The second one was pure white. It represented Serenity, which was coincidentally the colour of Lowee.
The third one was a green hue. It represented the pastures of Leanbox.
And last but not least, was a bright purple. It represented Progress, a fitting description for Planeptune.
There were many observers who saw the four shooting stars blaze through the sky. One of those observers was a certain nurse-in-training who happened to be gazing out her room's window, gazing at the stars until she saw them.
"Shooting stars…!" The nurse whispered in amazement, before closing her eyes and clasping her hands together. When you saw one or four, you had to make a wish, of course.
"I don't really have a wish but…" The nurse said, thinking about what to say. "Mister shooting stars, I wish that all the meanie monsters would go away, and everyone would be happy again…"
Almost as if they were granting her wish, the bright purple shooting star seemed to land somewhere in a forest. The nurse turned to the general direction of where it landed, blinking a few times.
'What…?' She thought. 'Maybe I should go investigate…?'
So… I just went through fanart of HDN, trying to find a suitable one for the main picture.
And… just… what?!
Okay, not to self: never go in Deviantart unless you want to see pictures of the goddesses being part of a bondage fetish.
Anyways, I have a no-go on trying to find a picture for my fanfic. I would appreciate it if someone could find one for me without myself going mentally insane.
So did I manage to nail down the personalities for each of the goddesses? Hopefully I'm correct with Blanc's manner of speaking, Vert's calmness and Noire's cockiness. I dunno, you guys tell me.
And I would like to suggest a soundtrack for the intro. It's called Neptunia vs. Dragonforce - More Soul! Fire and Flames. I suggest you check it out; it's pretty cool.

I look forward to your review.

Cute? You really think Nexon is cute?
Oh, and about Nexon being the only male OC, I must sadly decline. Maybe in a another fanfic perhaps, but not now.
Don't worry, he won't be swearing. I'll leave that to a few Loweean deities.

You don't see much of these around here, huh?
I'll read it when I have to time. Thanks for recommending it.
I planned to have Nexon bear SOME resemblance to Neptune with his personality. Looks like it worked. Heheh.
And the game Nexon was playing on his PC? Well, imagine it as ARMA, but with some RPG elements mixed into it and with Magic and Technology being included. A combination of various RPGs, MMOs and FPSs, in a single game, that is.

Okay, I think I've got everything. So like I said before, feel free to leave reviews so I can improve. I'll see you all in the next chapter.
