From Victory II: THE GOLD THIRD!

So, I search a little about this group and discovered they ARE from the Hyperdimension!

Why not make the GOLD third meet the GOLD heart?

LOL, I'll stop

A/N: You did read the short at the end of the last episode, right? Well, that's going to happen on every chapter from now on!

HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA
FIGHTING FOR THE GAMING FUTURE

Episode 12: Gold Heart and the Gold Third

I was resting on a very vast green field by the side of LeanBox. A lot of things happened to me, so I need to rest myself.

If you're wondering, I'm on my normal form. I'm still trying to process that I have turned into the Legendary Gold Heart, of all things.

Still, that doesn't stop me from living my live, so I got up. "OK, what should I do, next?"

I went to LeanBox's guild and picked a quest to do. But when I was walking through LeanBox, I saw a silver haired girl with a rather strange outfit pick a magazine.

What was in that Magazine? Well... The article of Gold Heart, of course, I wasn't going to hide myself just because I turned into a CPU, so me and the rest of the girls contacted Dengekiko and Famitsu's magazine IMMEDIATELY after we came from LoWee's coliseum.

"Hmmm... Gold Heart, huh?" The girl said to herself.

...I'm starting to worry, so I went to talk to her.

"Err... Hi." I said, nervously, the girl looked at me, then looked back at the magazine, then back to me.

"You look like this guy here." I rolled a sweat from my head when she said that.

"That's because that IS me." I said to her.

"Oh." She put the magazine back and turned to me.

...whoa...she was striking...

I guess the saying "More beautiful in person" really is true.

"It's just weird someone has the same name of the group I'm in."

"Gold?" I asked her.

"Yeah." This girl is weird... "Um... I have to go."

"Wait! I didn't even-" Before I could continue, she jumped away. "...ask your name..."

After I completed my quest, I went to Planeptune next, I was buying some things for Neptune to enjoy, when...

"Gotcha!" I materialized my sword and slashed it for self-defense, but what I only saw was a little girl in some orange clothes, that easily avoided my slash.

"Jesus, don't scare me like that..." I made my sword go away.

"So you're the guy!" She said.

"I'm what?"

"The guy from the news!" She showed the magazine, I wasn't surprised.

"Why am I not surprised...?" I said. "Oh well, nice to meet you, I guess... Name's Noble, what's yours?"

"Well I'm B-Sha!"

"O_o?" I must sound like Histoire now. What a weird name...

"Huh?" She was confused by my reaction.

"Oh, sorry, I just thought your name was weird, that's all." I mean... B-Sha? What the fuck...

"By the way, you're a CPU, right?" I mean... DUH.

"IT'S IN THE MAGAZINE, DAMMIT!" I said, very annoyed.

"Bleh!" She showed her tongue at me, she's REALLY pissing me off! I pick my Arc again, to make sure.

"Well here!" She said, happily, then she... Wait... WHAT!? SHE MATERIALIZED A WEAPON!?

"Are you a CPU, too?!" I asked in surprise, my anger going away.

"Well, no." She said. "But I'm something close!" Close?

"How close?" I ask.

"Like... Almost close! I even have my own transformation! I call it 'Gold Form'!" ...Gold Form?

"Mine is a HDD." I told, then took away the sword, she also did it with her gun.

"Bee-Chan!" I heard Neptune. Oh, so Neptune knows her... OK.

"Ah! Neptuna!" She ran to Neptune and hugged her.

"Oh, so you met Noble?" Neptune said.

"With a little bit of trouble, but maybe I couldn't blame her, she's a kid. At least... on her looks." I told her.

"Ah, it's okay!" Neptune reassured "She's from a group that also has four girls that kind of want to act like us, but are really helping us instead!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! They're called the Gold Third!" B-Sha said.

...Gold Third? Neptune clearly said FOUR girls... Anyway...

After the whole B-Sha affair, I learned about their other members: S-Sha, K-Sha and their leader: C-Sha.

I went to LaStation to look for K-Sha, but I just came up on a gunfight in the middle of almost nowhere! I quickly took cover and peeked to see who was fighting... It was Uni and the other one was probably K-Sha. So she likes Fire-arms as well, but is even more ruthless than Uni... Better stop this fight before anyone gets hurt. I take my Arc as a gun, jump and shot downwards creating a shockwave that blows all covers possible, then I change the Arc into a sword and slash the girls to stop them.

"OW! Hey! What gives!?" Uni complained.

"Dammit! And I was going to win, too!" K-Sha complained.

"You two gun lovers stop with the freaking gunfight now, OK? Someone is going to get hurt." I said, then drop both down. "Actually, the reason I came here was to find the rest of the Gold Third and try to know about them... You must be K-Sha, right?" I ask the girl which obviously had a K in her clothing.

"Sure, I'm K-Sha, but why do you want to get to know us?" she asks me.

"Well I just want to meet you all, that's it." I answered "Isn't it normal to meet new people?"

"Point taken." She said "You must be Gold Heart, right?"

"I go by Noble when in this normal form." I told her "Well, I guess I kind of know WHY you two started this gunfight, but maybe that's just me."

"Yeah, it WAS kind of competitive..." Uni said.

After I got to know K-Sha a little better, I went to LoWee, where maybe I could find their leader, C-Sha.

I was told C-Sha used some kind of Buster on one of her attacks. That's kind of Megaman-ish if you ask me...

Wait... Maybe that's it!

Each of these girls maybe are representing some kind of gaming publisher company! I mean: C-Sha obviously is Capcom with that buster attack, since Megaman was created by Capcom!

K-Sha probably is Konami, since she has an attack that resembles vertical scrolling shooters, and Konami did a LOT of those! The most famous being a Horizontal shooter: Gradius.

B-Sha maybe is Bandai Namco, I mean she's awfully yellow, like a certain Pacman!

And S-Sha... If she was the girl I met back at LeanBox, then maybe that would explain it... She has some Final Fantasy esque dress-up, so I guess she's Square Enix!

Whoa! This world is fantastic! It IS a world full of Gaming! I just haven't noticed that until now!

I was in LoWee having a snack while I was thinking about this, then a girl with a blue outfit arrived by my side.

"So... You must be Gold Heart, right?" That confirmed it.

"And you must be C-Sha?" She nodded, OK, so she's the leader of the group "Um, do you want to have a seat?"

"Oh, I don't mind!" She took the chair across me and sat on it.

We then started talking about a lot of things. She said that her group, the Gold Third, initially started as a group that wanted to take the CPUs' place so that they can reconstruct Gamindustri. Sadly, only herself couldn't do that because of LoWee's corrupt government at the time, in which Blanc was NOT the leader. I talked to her about my time back at my world and here, told her how I turned into a CPU almost accidentally and how I befriended the other CPUs, their candidates and even their Oracles. I even told her about my career when I was a RPG player!

"Hmm... And you say this world relates to yours in some way?"

"Why wouldn't it, Ms. Capcom?" I had to make that joke.

"Excuse me?"

"That was no offense, sorry!" I said "I'm just saying how this world relates to mine."

"Oh... I see." She said "So what am I?"

"A publisher company named Capcom. That made games like Megaman, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, you know, these games!" I tell her "Your resemble Jill Valentine for example, a character from Resident Evil." She laughed at that, but she did believe it, since I wasn't from here.

"OK, do my group remind you of other characters from your world, too?"

"S-Sha reminded me of those Final Fantasy characters, although our meeting was kind of short since she had to go somewhere..."

"She is almost like that. Don't worry!" Oh okay.

"B-Sha is a little childish, but DAMN is she annoying! I almost got into a fight, but her showing that cannon of hers just stopped me. She looks like Pacman, I mean... She's so yellow!" She giggled

"True, she can be annoying at times, but she's kind of afraid of very big monsters."

"Ironic." I commented "K-Sha... well, I could compare her to Uni, since she likes guns. Although she's a bit reckless and ruthless with a firearm..."

"K-Sha is just like that, but she is nice when she's not on combat." I giggled at that. "Well, it was nice talking to you! Maybe we can meet again?" She asks

"I guess, just find me on any quests I'm taking or in any of the Four Landmasses!" I said, then got up the chair. "See ya soon, C-Sha!"

"I'll see you too, Noble!" We waved our good-byes and I left the cafe.

...What an interesting group.

This chapter isn't that much worth it, but it's just for him to meet the Gold Third, nothing else.

OK, let's stop for a while, I need to work on my other stories for once, but on the next episode of this one there will be a surprise! I won't tell what is it though.

Good Bye!
