Chapter 2: Unexpected Goddess
Back at the Lowee basilicom there was a huge crowd of citizens and soldiers alike gathered outside to mourn the loss of the CPU Candidate as well as the soldiers lost to the battle Rom was missing from the ceremony she didn't want to attend Blanc was there though giving a speech on how the loss of these important things would only turn out to make Lowee a stronger Nation she only showed tears as they lowered the Candidate down into the memorial site on the inside of the basilicom business as usual was going on except for inside the living quarters for the Goddesses Rom was sitting on a bed with her head on the wall staring at the other one across from it "come on Rom you don't have to be scared, I'll always be with you to keep you safe so don't worry" she was remembering something Ram told her a long time ago seeing the memory of it happen in her mind she sighed holding back tears only to be pulled away from the buzz of her phone "1 new message from IF" it read she picked it up and opened it up "Lady Rom the news has just reached me here in Leanbox my condolences go to you and your sister" it read she only put it down and fell over on her side laying on the bed only to be met by a knock at the door "Rom? You alright in there?" Blanc opened the door to see her laying there on the bed alone "need anything?" Blanc asked to no reply "well if you change your mind let me know. I gave you a month off so you can readjust" she said before shutting the door and sighing on the other side only to walk away. Rom laid there not moving and just thinking to herself remembering things Ram and her did together "come on Rom let's go get this and some for Blanc too" Rom smiled for a moment letting out tears onto the bed.
After about an hour another knock came to the door "Lady Rom?" It was Linda "now is probably not the best time but that machine you and Lady Ram built just picked up a signal" Rom shot up "What?" she got up and opened the door "which one?" she asked "the new one" Linda told her as she left the room and started to walk down the hall "Lady Rom?" Linda asked her standing there as she left walking in a direction "Tell White Heart" she said walking out of sight "yes ma'am" Linda ran off towards Blanc's quarters "Lady White Heart lady White Heart" she yelled entering "What is it Underling?" Blanc asked "The machine that they built got a signal" Linda said "What?" "Lady Rom is already on her way to check it out" Blanc got up and pushed her out of the way only to walk down to the machine that she just heard about.
Down in a deep part of the Basilicom there were rooms holding machines by themselves being maintained by a steady workforce in one of these rooms was Rom looking at data on a screen as Blanc walked in "Rom" Rom ignored her sister a moment as she pulled a screen up like a viewer that looked like another version of the same basilicom "It works" she said as she smiled some. Blanc came over and looked as on the screen there was clearly another version of both Rom and Ram a lot younger and goofing off but it was obvious to see that it was them "What the…" she said to Rom "Another Lowee" Rom said "we have a larger army now" Rom had come to tears watching what she saw on the screen the two playing together when suddenly a loud scream echoed through the halls of the Basilicom from a door adjacent to the room they were in a familiar one to Rom she turned her head and looked in the direction before there was a loud crash followed by rumbles when the intercom turned on "Warning Lastation forces have invaded Lowee, all available soldiers are to report immediately" the intercom cut off abruptly "Really?" Rom asked but before she could move Blanc pushed her onto the transport pad of the machine Rom looked up at her before suddenly being thrown from the pad to a spot high in the air above a forest. "What the hell!" she yelled as she was falling eventually she fell into the trees with a loud thud.
Rom sat up as she looked around the new landscape she found herself in "why the hell did she do that?" Rom sat there a moment rubbing the top of her head "come on I heard it over here Rom" suddenly like a timed event the pink Candidate of Lowee jumped out of the bushes swinging a staff at the bigger Rom "Found You Monster!" Rom grabbed onto the staff holding it up high in the air making the small Ram hang in the air at eye level "well that's not a way to say hello to someone" the two stared at each other for a moment confused about what was going on until Rom let go seeing the smaller version of herself come out from the woods too "hey you scared off the monster didn't you?" Ram asked accusing the bigger Rom pointing at her "wait you look familiar, do I know you from somewhere?" she looked at the little Rom "you know her?" ram asked questions before looking at the two of them "She…. Looks…. like …. Me… Kinda" little Rom said "Woah you're right Rom you two totally have the same face" the bigger Rom sat there for a moment looking around the woods "Hey lady what's your name?" Ram asked but was cut off by another voice in the distance " Rom! Ram! Where the HELL did you go!?" There older sister was yelling as she stumbled upon them "How many times do I have to tell the two of you not to…" Blanc cut herself off noticing they were talking to someone who looked exactly like Rom "Oh you found someone" Blanc walked up noticing the similarity "sorry about them they kinda do what they want they didn't hurt you or anything did they?" she asked "no i'm fine Lady White Heart" she said startling everyone because she had the same voice and face as the smaller Rom "Who are you?" she asked her "My name is Rom and I am the CPU Candidate of the noble nation of Lowee" the older Rom said "what?" Blanc just stood there confused trying to process the information as Rom and Ram started to freak out "Woah it is you Rom" Ram said "yeah…. It…. is…" Rom said as they were investigating her up and down and Ram started to climb on her "your Rom?" Blanc asked "Yes Lady White Heart" the older Rom said "If that's true you are ticklish here" Ram started to tickle her right under the arms and the older Rom started to giggle uncontrollably "No" she kept laughing "Stop" she was rolling around as Ram was on top of her making her giggle "God… Damnit!" she was still giggling as she suddenly grabbed onto Ram's hands doing the same face Blanc does when she gets angry "you little" she looked at her a second before she sighed and picked her up not letting her move before coughing into her other hand "I'll explain later but lets just get back to the Basilicom for now" she walked past Blanc while Ram struggled to try and break free. The other two started to follow them back to the basilicom as she walked her way up there on her own.
Blanc and the older Rom had separated themselves from the little ones and were staring at each other from across the table they were sitting at a with two cups of tea in front of each. "So you're my sister from another dimension, here because your version of me pushed you in because Lowee was under attack?" Blanc asked "That's how I understand it yes" Rom said picking up the tea and drinking it "who was it?" Blanc asked "Lastation" Rom said setting the cup back down looking at her "I see, is your version of me able to fend them off by herself?" Blanc asked her to which Rom sighed "I sure hope so." Rom said to her. Blanc noticed something was up she knew when Rom was upset about something and this version of her seemed to be the same way. "Is something the matter?" Blanc asked to which Rom looked up a bit surprised "no it's nothing at all, it's just seeing a Ram here she is the same as she was." Rom smiled just a little bit before her face returned to Its more serious look. "Was?" Blanc asked and Rom looked away "I'd appreciate if that wasn't brought up Lady White Heart." Rom said to her "Very well." Blanc said to her and she stood up "until you are able to find your way back you have my permission to stay here." Blanc walked over to her "although this world is much different than your own, you should be able to it" she held out her hand and Rom stood up and shook it bowing afterwards "thank you m'lady"
Meanwhile back in War dimension Blanc had just pushed Rom onto the transport pad and as she was moved to the other dimension. she turned around to see Linda standing there "Lady White Heart why'd you…?" She was cut off by Blanc entering HDD "She will be better off there." Blanc said as she went to a room adjacent to the dimensional gate room. "We need to release it" she said to a scientist that had was in there "M'lady it isn't completely…" The scientist was cut off "I don't give a damn just get it into the forest outside Lowee and turn it on." She slammed the table sending some nuts and bolts flying into the air "... Yes m'lady" the scientist said as Blanc left the room and the scientist rolled a big crate out through a door in the lab. Suddenly as Blanc made it back out to the hallway the wall crashed in as Black heart and five Lastation soldiers ran in "There you are" Black Heart said as she held her sword up "like always cowering in a corner, even though you are the reason for this war." She said "I was just tying up loose ends." Blanc said as she suddenly dropped out of her HDD and raised her hands up "So go ahead you can capture me." Black Heart was taken back "this better not be a sneak attack Blanc" the soldiers ran up and put her in handcuffs walking her over "I would never take you out that way Noire." Blanc said as they pushed her in front of Black Heart "that's what I would expect from someone I used to be allied with." Black heart turned around "go, take her to the prison, I'll finish up here and be right behind you all" Blackheart ordered as the soldiers rushed off.
