"Pudding? What's a pudding?" Neptune questioned

"You don't know what a pudding is?" Compa questioned back

"Nope, never heard of it does it taste good?"

"Just a minute let me bring one" Compa said as she walked out of the room to grab pudding from the fridge.

This left Neptune and Shin in the room alone. Shin just sat there silently while Neptune was ready to burst. Thankfully Compa reappeared before Neptune could ask any questions. In her hands was yellow pudding Neptune looked on with wonder.

"So this is pudding." Neptune said as she poked the pudding causing it to wiggle "Whoa! It wiggles when you poke it."

"Nep-Nep did you lose your memory of food too." Compa wanted to know.

"I remember cake and stuff, but I guess I really don't know what it is." Neptune answered

Shin didn't even want to ask he's never seen a person with amnesia before, but stories about amnesia for some reason have the character remember nothing about their name and past, but for some reason know a lot about a machine, or farming knowledge, one time he even read something about a guy forgetting his name and past, but remembering his siblings and how to kill. So he had to take an educated guess and say that amnesia can vary.

"Your homemade pudding was a blast Compa." Neptune said.

It appears he was too far in thought to notice that Neptune finished the putting, but he was back on when Neptune praised Compa.

"I'm happy you liked it. By the way what're you going to do now Nep-Nep?"

"Well I want to know what happened, so I'll go back to where I was found" Neptune decided.

"Oh. Then I can take you there Nep-Nep." Compa replied.

"You can that's awesome lets go." Neptune was ready to go.

"Hey Shin are you going to come along with us as well?" Compa asked Shin

He gave a nod of approval as he honestly had nothing better to do.

"Even more awesome the more people in our party the better." Neptune excitedly ran out the door at such a fast speed.

"Wait Nep-Nep you don't know where you're going!" Compa yelled at Neptune to return.

"Oh right forgot you're my guide." Neptune immediately came back "Well then lead the way."

The trio exited out of the house and walked out into the town with Compa leading the way. Neptune appeared mesmerized by the surroundings.

"Wow this city's so huge. So Compa what's this city called?" Neptune filled with wonder remarked

"This is Planeptune it's a city Lady Purple Heart presides over." Compa answered

"Planeptune that sounds familiar." Neptune said.

"It sounds like your name Nep-Nep" Compa realized.

"So where are we going again should I bring something with me?" Neptune forgot didn't know where they were going, though so was Shin.

"Don't worry we're just heading towards the park outside the city."

"Really that's good I don't like carryi-"Neptune diverted her attention to nearby trash "Hold on a sec" Neptune then proceeded to speed walk towards the trashcans and rummaged through it.

Compa looked concerned as she looked at Shin. He just shrugged his shoulders not making heads or tails of why she was rummaging in the trash.

"Nep-Nep what are you doing in the garbage?" Compa asked

"Look what I found Compa a sword." Neptune came back very quickly as she revealed a wooden sword. "Well it's made out of wood, but hey it's a sword."

"I see what are you going to use that for Nep-Nep?" Compa asked completely confused

"Fighting" Shin's one word answer appeared

"Yes what he said, who knows what things we'll encounter."

"Um.. Okey dokey Nep-Nep." Compa said a bit confused.

Compa lead the way once again through the city and out into a nearby park. They stopped at the entrance.

"So this is where I was lodged into the ground." Neptune said.

"No not quite it's a bit further back but." Compa started.

"But…" Neptune waited for her to finish her sentence.

"There appears to be monsters roaming around."

"Monsters you mean that blue, jelly like, dog looking thing over there."

"Yes, but they weren't here last time I was here." Compa confirmed

"Um this world has monsters all over the place like an RPG right?" Neptune asked

Strangely he's been hearing that word being compared to this world a couple of times before which always left Shin confused, as he has never heard of an RPG before though he never asked questions.

"Not really they just started to get more aggressive these last few years as more of them show up." Compa informed Neptune.

"Ok then let's go get some exp while we're at it."

"Nep-Nep what's the matter you seem excited."

"Well I'm the heroine, so I got to beat up some monsters I figured."

"Oh that makes sense, but can you really fight?"

"I got my trusty sword made out of wood and my skills with me it'll be a piece of cake" Neptune excitedly declared.

"Okay. I guess I'll help just let me get this out." Compa proceeded to grab a giant syringe out of nowhere surprising both Shin and Neptune

"Whoa where'd you get that huge syringe, wait a second where did it come from." Neptune asked the question on both Hers and Shin's minds

"I use this to fight, where it came from well that's a Compa secret." Compa replied nonchalantly very no big deal attitude.

"My imagination from where it came from, can't explain how, but you do realize how cliché carrying a huge weapon is right."

"Those are nitty-gritty details let's just beat the nasties and go on." Compa said.

"First time I heard of you fighting." Shin said obviously picking out the detail of Compa fighting.

"Well I fought a few monsters on the way back to the house from time to time, but nothing to worry about." Compa reassured Shin.

"Ooh now I want to know what are you gonna fight with. Could it be a spear?" Neptune directed her attention to Shin to see if he pulls out a weapon.

Shin just lifted up his fist in a fighting stance. "Ooh your fists, I bet you're going to have some cool combos to show off when we level up a few times." Neptune was quick to have fun with the situation.

"Anyway enough talk let's go!" Neptune charged towards slime like monsters and swung at it causing the world around them to distort and pulled into a dimension of battling.

Two enemies appeared Dogoos as a health bar above their bodies told them.

"Yay my first monster, we just need to beat them up right?" Neptune asked.

"Yes Dogoos are cute, but they are bad monsters, so we can beat them up." Compa replied.

"Alright let's get this tutorial fight over with."

"Hold on Neptune I have to tell you the rules of battle first, or how it works." Compa began to explain the rules of combat.

"Alright so we each get a turn based on how fast we are, I'm the fastest so I go first, but since you explained the battle to me you'll go first. Our weapons have attack ranges and the amount of damage we do relies on our strength and weapon itself. We can do anything for a turn from fleeing to healing to attacking (obviously) and that uses our turn is that all." Neptune summarized what Compa said.

"Those are just the basics, but you'll get used to it." Compa acknowledged.

"Alright Compa your up first let's go." Neptune exclaimed.

"Alright." Compa said.

With her huge syringe she ran up to one of the Dogoos and attacked the thing with the syringe. She shoved it in and pulled out, did a twist and struck as well, and finally shoved it in again, but that didn't kill it.

"Oh looks like I didn't beat it." Compa said a bit disappointed.

"Don't worry Compa I'll finish it off." Neptune ran up to the Dogoo Compa was by.

She did a twist and struck the Dogoo and struck it with a poke causing the monster to disappear out of existence.

"Alright one more to go you're up Shin." Neptune excitedly said.

Shin ran up to the monster and proceeded to lean and punch it with his right arm, he then proceeded to upper cut with his left. He then decided to do a continuous punch with his left and right before finishing it off with his first attack.

The world then returned to normal, but the Dogoos were no longer there.

"Victory! See that just leave it to Nep-Nep and her wooden sword." Neptune excitedly claimed

"So how was it fighting Mr. Monster?" Compa said

"There's still more to learn, but I could get used to this."

"Well there's a lot more so we can train a bit more."

"Sounds like a plan, but first." Neptune directed her attention towards Shin.

"Why didn't you say a victory quote?" She asked a bit annoyed.

Shin raised his eyebrow at the question.

"You know a victory quote you say after a battle. Something like 'You never stood a chance', or 'Come back in a million years' it'll make you look cool and awesome." Neptune explained.

"Is that important Nep-Nep?" Compa asked.

"Yes it shows that you know what you're doing."

"That makes sense, I guess that's what I felt was missing too." Compa agreed as she felt something was missing after they defeated the Dogoos.

A few more minor battles took place and they leveled up to at least three.

"Aw man still no new skills we leveled up to at least three." Neptune was displeased as she didn't learn any new skills.

"Oh don't be sad Nep-Nep, on the bright side we're here." Compa said as they arrived.

There was a hole in the middle of the ground a rather large one.

"Wow that's a huge hole right there." Neptune commented

"Does this make you remember anything Nep-Nep"

"Hmmmmmmmm." Neptune thought. "I can't remember a thing, you sure I was stuck in here Compa?"

"Yes. You fell from the sky like a shooting star and landed here." Compa explained to Neptune.

"Like a shooting star cutting through the night right?" Neptune said.

"That's right" Compa excitedly said.

"Why'd you raise your voice Compa?"

"It just struck me, but do you remember anything like an I.D or something?"

"I wish, but I can't remember anything so, wait I do remember something I'm missing." Neptune looked like she had an idea.

"You do what is it?" Compa excited said.

"That's obvious." Neptune paused for a moment "My memory." She concluded in a singsong manner.

Compa stared at Neptune in a similar manner to Shin.

"Wasn't that funny?" Neptune asked confused.

"This is no time for jokes Nep-Nep." Compa sighed at the girl opposite of her.

"Huh. I thought you were joking when you asked me when I remembered." Neptune was shocked.

"Joking aside let's look for some clues." Compa said, but something cracked "What's that sound?" She nervously looked back and forth.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Neptune clichéd

The ground began to shake underneath their feet. "The ground it's crumbling." Neptune said out of shock and terror. The ground began to crumble even more before it gave in causing everyone to fall.

"We're falllllling." Compa exclaimed as they were falling.

As they continued to fall they entered into a weird cave and the ground came closer. Each of them landed very differently, Neptune on her butt, Compa face first into the ground, and Shin landed on his feet crouching on the ground.

"Owwwww. I didn't expect that, that really hurt my butt." Neptune said as she was rubbing said butt.

Neptune stood up to see Shin and a weird cave though someone was missing.

"Wait a second, where's Compa. Compa where are you are you alright?" Neptune said completely with concern.

"Yessy, I'm alright." Compa said as she got right back up

"Thank goodness, it would've been a disaster if you lost your memory too. Are you alright as well Shin?" Neptune directed her attention towards the stoic member of the party.

Shin nodded in approval.

"Alrighty where are we?" Neptune asked

"I think we're beneath the forest this place looks weird." Compa commented.

"Yea I'm getting bad vibes from this place" Neptune added.

They proceeded to walk around the cave place until they walk into a specific area.

"What's this Compa take a look do you know what it is?" Neptune asked Compa

"I don't know never seen something like this before." Compa replied

"I know it must be a medal to change into items with a king somewhere. Though there is something bothering me." Neptune paused and looked at her surrondings

"I wonder where all the monsters are at?" Neptune asked.

Her question was answered as a growl like noise was heard.

"Ahh. Where's that event flag inducing growl coming from." Neptune was shocked out of her wits

"Nep-Nep there is a huge monster over there." Compa said pointing in the direction of said huge monster.

The monster was huge, brown and spider like, it also had a sword it held in one of its arms.

Its target was Compa as it charged. She immediately fled from it, but it was persistent.

"Ahhh, Please help me." Compa said as she ran back and forth from the monster not trying to get caught. For some reason Shin was just watching moving his head back and forth.

"Oh no Compa's being chased." Neptune said as she readied her wooden sword "Don't worry I'll save you take this!" She yelled as she attacked, but it did absolutely no damage

"What the- wait who just commented on my attack?" Neptune asked confused.

Shin just looked at her wondering who she was talking to, to what he could see was no one.

"Hmm wait I heard that voice before have we met?" She continued to talk to the air.

"Oh yeah, Ms. Heavenly voice from my dream. wait that was real?"

"Umm. A little help here pretty please any of you." Compa asked somehow calm from being chased around.

"Oh right I need to help Compa. Ms Heavenly voice can you help by any chance?"

"Hard-Drive what? I lost my memories, so can you do this step by step."

"So if I use that Hard Drive thingy I can save Compa right?" Neptune seemed to asked

"Well I'll go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb." Neptune replied in a confident voice to the air.

Shin honestly couldn't tell if he wanted to know what they're talking about or the reason why he's just standing there and not helping Compa.

'Why can't I move? Eh probably because the author demands it.' Shin took a second to realize what he just thought 'Wait what I just think something about authors?'

As soon as he snapped out of his daze a glow surrounded Neptune, before some zeros and ones surrounded her as well. The sequence ended and out came Neptune, but different completely different. She had long braided hair, a skin tight suit that exposes her newly formed breasts, and was well taller.

"Is this me?" Neptune said in a more mature tone of voice than her other form.

"Wow Nep-Nep you transformed" Compa said once again calmly.

"This power it's flowing from within. There's no way I can lose this." Neptune declared while looking at the giant monster. "Just wait Compa I'll save you." Neptune then charged the beast

The beast now identified as a Guard Vermin attacked first landing a hit on Neptune, but it did next to nothing.

"I didn't feel a thing." Neptune taunted as she attacked the Vermin with her giant purple and black sword hitting multiple times very quickly before stopping "Are you taking this serious" It was her turn once again, but instead of hitting it multiple times again she did a different move.

"Cross combo!" She yelled out her attack as she charged at the beast and hit back a few times, before forcing it into the air where she then slammed it back down onto the ground which defeated it, but didn't make it disappear like the other monsters.

"That was easy." She posed as she finished the fight.

"Well that should do it" Neptune said as she saw the guard Vermin down and possibly out.

"That was great Nep-Nep you beat that monster in a flash." Compa excitingly said.

Neptune then was powered down to her preteen look.

"Whew that was tiring" Neptune

"Well done Neptune. Compa are you okay?" a mysterious voice said to everyone.

'This must be who Neptune was talking to.' Shin quickly noted.

"Yes I'm ok and its all thanks to Nep-Nep" Compa replied back.

"Wait who's voice is that?" Compa realized and nervously looked back and forth.

"Oh that's Ms. Heavenly voice Histoir- What was it again?"

"Histoire you were off by one letter."

"That's right Histy-Histy."

"You can call me Histy. Now nice to meet you Compa. I am Histoire"

"Can I call you Histy… It's nice to meet you or umm hear you Histy." Compa said

"Umm Co-" Histoire was going to say before a growl diverted the groups attention

"It's aliiiive!" Neptune and Compa yell simultaneously.

"Run Compa and Shin run as fast as we can!"

"Right!" Compa replied as everyone ran away from the beast that was trying to get back up again.

They made it out of the cave, but didn't stop running and exited out of the park they ran straight back to the house.

"That was a close call" Compa said in-between breaths of air

"I can't believe it was still alive with that much damage it took." Histoire commented.

"Oh Histy can you take a look at this what is this?" She pulled out something that appeared to be a shard of some sort of crystal

"It's a piece of the key fragment to release me from my seal."

"You're sealed Histy?" Compa asked.

"Yes can you release me there is one in each of the lands."

"I could, but isn't that dangerous we would have to fight monsters" Neptune said surprisingly very skeptical about the request.

"Yes your life will be in danger, but in return I can get your memory back."

"Really" Neptune perked up.

"Really, really and anyway I do need you to get your memory back."

"Well let good old Neptune search far and wide for those fragments." Neptune declared.

"I'll help too, I got to help Nep-Nep with her brain loss." Compa declared as well

"It's memory loss Compa, but don't you have a nursing school or something?"

"Yeah, but it's closed down due to the monster attacks."

"Alright we- hold on" Neptune began and looked at Shin

"What about you?" Neptune asked.

"Oh my I forgot about you my name is Histoire, what is yours"

"Shin"

"Hey answer my question Neptune waved her hands back and forth as she was being ignored.

"Alright I'll help" Shin answered verbally.

"Alright!" Neptune exclaimed.

"Thank you- ve-ry-mu-ch" Histoire's voice was cutting out

"What I'm having trouble hearing you Histy"

"l-fo-"

"Histy can you hear me"

"Key frag-" The connection was lost.

"I think we lost connection, I hope Histy's okay." Neptune worried.

"Well at least we know how to get your memory back let's go Nep-Nep" Compa readied herself.

"Ahhhh…" Neptune Yawned "How about later I want to catch some sleep." Neptune then plopped down face first onto the couch.

"Yeah I guess I feel tired too." Compa yawned too. "Well I guess a nap will do." Compa walked to her room

Shin decided to go to his room as well he wanted to get some sleep after all the running they did.


I don't think this chapter has good action, but everyone else can decide that.

As some of you could tell it's mostly from Shin's third person point of view.

I got nothing else to say, but good night, or morning, or afternoon whenever you read this.
