Holy hell, I never expected to get so many followers after just the first chapter. You people are awesome. I'm also sorry that I couldn't get out the Christmas special, I was sick to the point of not being able to do anything. But I'm ok now.

Chapter 02: Wild Ride

*BOOM* "WOOHOO!" I begin laughing with enjoyment as I fly through the sky. As my accent slows down, I get a wonderful view of the battlefield. I notice that the west side seems to be almost completely overrun, so I call up command. "Hey Pat, who's still in the western region?" I could hear keys being typed before I get a response.

"The only registered people over there is Kyle, he's been holding down the fort until we get some reinforcements over there." That's not a good idea, we should have had SOME militiamen still over there helping him out.

"Well, Kyle is about to get some help. I'm heading over there now." I aim myself for the western outpost and free fall towards it. I've just come to the realization that I don't have my parachute with me...well fuck.

➡️Wake Up⬅️

"Oowwww, my head." I sit up on my bed, immediately regretting that decision when an invisible jackhammer started pounding my skull. I laid back down and just sat there, wondering what happened while I was in a coma.

"UNI!" An overexcited Nepgear hugs me with tears rolling down her face, making my headache worse. I gently push her off of me, rubbing my head in the process.

"Nepgear, quiet down, I've got a killer headache right now."

"Oh, I'm sorry Uni, I had no idea. Please forgive me." She looks like she's on the verge of having a panic attack, I better calm her down before I have to yell at her, making my headache even worse.

"Relax, Nepgear, you didn't know. But enough of that, where's Noire?" Nepgear, looking calmer already, taps her chin.

"The last thing I heard from Histoire was that Noire and Kei followed Nick into a dimensional rift that took them to the source of Lastation's share drop. She hasn't been able to make contact with her since then." I give Nepgear a frightened look, I really hope that they haven't been hurt.

"That doesn't make this situation any better, someone is deliberately trying to kill us off. I really think that we should help them." I begin to stand up, only for my headache to increase its assault on my head. "Or maybe I should trust that Noire isn't dead." It felt like my mind was leaving me again, I look towards Nepgear. "Why am I getting weaker?"

"Oh, the share crystal must be wearing off, I'll go get another one." Nepgear bolts out of the room, leaving me more confused that I was before. I wish someone would tell me where they're getting all of these share crystals, but the world goes black.

"Not again."

➡️He's Back⬅️

"Hey hey, pretty lady, couldn't stay away from me?" Uni has returned once again, I'm assuming that whatever woke her up wore off or something. The only problem is that I have no clue when she's gonna leave again, this place has many warped time zones that shift every time someone new comes in.

"Quiet you." She huffs and turns her head away, her blush becoming more and more visible.

"Oh boy, is that a blush I see?" She unsuccessfully tries to slap me, her blush becoming even redder.

"I-i-i-it's not like I'm not used to getting compliments or anything." She actually looks frustrated, it's actually kinda cute. Also, that was a stereotypical tsundere line...this will be fun.

"Pfft HAHAHA! Fuckin' tsunderes."

"Grrr." Ok now I'm generally pissing her off, let's try and be a bit friendly.

"Relax, kiddo, it was a joke." I give a small smile. She looks angrier.

"Well it wasn't funny. And stop calling me kid, I'm probably older than you."

"I highly doubt that in fact-" a portal opens above me. "Well shit. I guess it's time to get back to the fight, later kiddo." I jump into the portal.

"Oi, Jack, get up already." I wake up to see Kyle kneeling down next to me, one hand holding a stimpack, the other holding his signature double barrel revolver. I guess that landing was harder on my head than I thought, there's an entire fifty-seven foot diameter crater surrounding us. It's also twelve feet deep, if not larger. There are crawlers and ogres surrounding us, ready to pounce. I take Kyle's stimpack and summon my automatico, running into a large group of ogres.

"MAXIMUM STUN!" A grenade forms in my hand, giving off an electric current. I toss the grenade into the group of ogres, the ogres giving a confused look. The grenade explodes, stunning all of them. "Heh, easy." I gun them all down in one clip, dashing towards the next group of enemies. A crawler leaps towards me, I bash it over the head with the butt of my gun and put a few buck shots into another crawler. I hear a screech and turn to see an ogre's club inches from my face, I close my eyes in preparation for the impact. "..." Nothing? No blackout at all? I'm not screaming out in pain, what happened? I open my eyes to see Nick standing there, a large smile on his face.

"Look who's back again."
