Desmond opened his eyes as the sun's rays bore its everlasting light onto them. He sat up while holding a hand between his face and the sun. Looking over at the clock it was a few minutes before eight in the morning 'At least I woke up on time today' he thought as he stood and got himself ready for the day. He went out of his room and into the kitchen to get some breakfast.

"Hi Desmond."

A voice called out, he looked to see Nepgear in an apron cooking. "Hey, what are you making?"

"French toast." She replied

"Ok, do you need any help." He asked as he walked up beside her.

"No, you can get a plate and get as much as you want. I'm still making a few more for Neptune." Nepgear responded.

"Speaking of Neptune where is she at? She's usually spouting out all kinds of noise by now." He said as he got some food and sat at the table.

"She's in her room still sleeping. She was talking to Noire late last night about your visit, but after a while they apparently got off topic and stayed up to late." Answered Nepgear as she finished up her cooking.

"Ok, as long as she wakes up in time." He remarked as he took a bite of his food.

Nepgear grabbed some food and sat across the table from the young man. "What is your world like?"

He looked at her for a moment and then thought on where to start. "Well, there are no monsters for a start. There are wars between different countries every now and then. Most of the large cities have people everywhere that you look like it is here. There are many countries on multiple continents. The game systems here also look very similar to my worlds systems, even several of the games are almost carbon copies. It is interesting… this world, since I've been here I have felt… lighter, like the gravity here is less than my own world. I wonder if there are new types of elements I could find here, and if so what could be made with them." He started to trail off as he went deep in thought.

"Umm, Desmond… Desmond." Nepgear called out to the young man.

'!' "Oh, sorry. I kind of got off track there, I like science a lot so I'm kinda curious what is the same and different between our worlds. Now what were we…" He responded with an apologetic look.

"GOOOOOD MORNING!" The blood curdling screech caused Desmond to stop talking as he looked to the entrance of the kitchen to see Neptune walking in. "How are you two this fine mornin', sorry for being late to the party but a girl has to get her beauty sleep ya know." She had her normal goofy grin as she walked toward Desmond. "Good to see that you're awake this morning Dez, this time I don't have to kick you up."

"Good morning to you as well Neptune." Was all he could get out as he was still trying to get his ears to stop ringing.

"Hey, sis. There is some food over there for you." Nepgear told her with a bright smile.

"Thanks Nep Jr." She replied as she went to get her food.


"Have a good time you two." Nepgear called out a waved to Neptune and Desmond as they left the basilicom.

"Bye" the two said in unison.

As the two walked outside Neptune turned to look at Desmond and said "Noire will be waiting at her basilicom and we'll meet with her after I show you around. Let's hurry, we don't want to keep Noire waiting for too long. She gets lonely." She started to run off while laughing and Desmond followed suit.

The two quickly traversed through the streets of Planeptune to a transportation station and it was off to Lastation. As the two arrived they found Noire waiting for them.

"Hiya Noire, why are ya here? Were you so lonely that you just had to see us arrive, or are you just here to see Dez?" Neptune exclaimed with a teasing tone.

"W-what are you saying Neptune, you said that you were going to show him my nation so I wanted to make sure you didn't mess it up. That's why and not because I was happy that you were coming or anything." Noire said with her tsundere attitude and a slight blush toward the latter part of Neptune's comment.

'The tsundere is strong with this one.' Dez thought as Noire finished her little spiel. "Well it's nice to see you again Noire." He called out to her which broke her concentration toward Neptune.

"It's nice to see you too Desmond, I just hope that Neptune hasn't been driving you crazy. I don't get how a normal human could withstand her insanity." Noire asked with a small smile.

"Na, don't worry I'm used to most of her antics already." He said with a slight chuckle.

"Well let's get a move on and show him around." Neptune jumped in between the two to rush them on.

"Ok, fine let's go." Noire said while walking off and the other two followed.

The trio moved through the city as Noire pointed out important buildings, landmarks, and streets to Desmond. After some time, they made their way to the basilicom.

"So, what do you think about my nation?" Noire asked outside the basilicom doors.

"Well, it looks cool with the whole steampunk look, it also has a lot of industrial factories so it probably gains a good amount of money from sales, but also increases the pollution in the area. There is a large variety of shops that one can choose from which is nice for residents. It kind of reminds me of large cites back in my world, just minus the steampunk." Desmond responded with a hand on his chin.

"Well, as long as you see that it's the best out of the four nations." Noire said with a smug grin.

"It doesn't matter if your city is good or not when you don't have any friends." Neptune teased with a chipper smile.

"H-hey shut up Neptune, I don't want to hear it from the CPU with the lowest amount of shares." Noire huffed while turning around and crossing her arms then walked into the building.

"Hey Kei, I'm back." Noire called out with a small wave.

"Hello Noire." Kei responded. "Back already."

"Yes, I just left to show him around." Noire said while pointing to the body behind her. "Kei, this is Desmond. Desmond, Kei. Kei is our oracle."

"It's nice to meet you." Desmond commented.

"The pleasure is all mine. Noire who is he exactly?" Kei asked with her neutral expression.

"Neptune and I found him unconscious here in Lastation. Apparently, he dropped in from another world and is now staying with Neptune." Noire answered with her arms crossed. "Where is Uni?"

"She just left to go on a few quests. She said she'll be gone for a while." Kei responded.

"Ok, then I guess you'll have to meet her some other time Desmond." Noire announced.

"Ya, ya that's good and all but let's go do something fun." Neptune finally spoke up as she was getting bored.

"Sure, lunch is in about half an hour but we can play games till then." Noire said. The three of them walked to the living room where a large t.v. and a game system hooked up to it.

Desmond saw the console and was starting to piece together why things seemed so familiar, even down to the names of the nations besides Planeptune. He realized that the nations in this world were based on game consoles from his world, but did not intend to bring the point up in conversation as he did not see it important for the people here. But still pondered on why it was like this.

After a few hours of gaming, eating, and gaming again Neptune got a call.

"Hello." Neptune answered the phone.

"Sis, you need to get back here there is a large group of monsters heading toward the city." Nepgear yelled through the phone.

"What?! Well don't worry Nep Jr. I'll be there in no time." Neptune responded in her usual goofy tone as she hung up the phone, then turned to the other two. "Well Planeptune is being attacked so I'm gonna head on back."

"Hey, let me come with. I've been wanting to fight some monsters; it'll be a good workout." Desmond called out as he stood up.

"Ok" Neptune said with a nod, she then looked toward Noire "Do you want to join up or are you gonna stay here all by your lonesome?"

"Ya, I'll go with you and don't call me lonely." Noire said with a half unamused look on her face.

"How are we going to get there in time though? The transit systems would take to long." Desmond states as he looked at Neptune.

"We'll fly." Neptune remarks as she transformed and noire followed suit.

"Oh, ya, forgot about the transformation stuff and you two look great. But what about me." He asked

"It's simple, I'll carry you." Purple Heart replies

"Huh… and how exactly are you gonna…" Dez starts as Neptune grabs him and starts flying toward Planeptune.

"Like that. Just try not to fall, ok." She said with a small laugh.

About 30-45 minutes later the trio found the large hoard rampaging the outskirts of the city and quickly closing in on the citizens. There was a large tank leading the charge, with it were some R-4, Bit, and Pixelvader monsters scattered all around it.

"Oooo, this looks fun, let's get down there and fight already." Desmond called out to Purple Heart still in mid-flight.

"Ok, but you are not fighting the tank, it's too strong and your still rather new to fighting." Purple Heart told him as they landed.

"Fine" He responded with a sigh, "at least I get to do some monster slayin'." He ran toward the mass of trash mobs as he materialized his sword hacking and slashing while dodging attacks.

The other two fought to get to the tank that was wrecking the country side and few structures that lead up to the city. About seven minutes later they got to the tank and commenced their attack, the duo flew around the enemy attacking it as they dodged its cannon blasts, slowly bringing its health down.

"It's not much but at least there is enough of them to give me a workout." Desmond said as he sliced through another enemy. Most of the mobs were taken out so he looked over at the two girls to see them about to finish off the tank when he noticed a R-4 bot sneaking up on them. "Behind you!" he called out as he put out his left arm to materialize his gun, but something else happened. Instead of his gun appearing electricity flew out from his hand and destroyed the bot.

The two CPUs looked at him with slight shock "Did he…" Purple Heart started, "It's like when we found him." Black Heart stated "Doesn't matter right now, we have to take this out first."

Desmond looked down at his arm he saw something that the other two didn't, he saw his arm practically phase out of existence as it turned into the electricity that destroyed the bot. He then tried to find the cause of this strange phenomenon, he focused on himself and found an anomaly within him. The more he focused on it the more profound it became, to the point where he tried to focus it to specific point. So, he held out his left arm and another bolt of electricity shot out hitting a tree. 'How interesting, this shouldn't be possible. But this world is different, I shouldn't try to confine it to the laws of my world, including me.' Desmond thought as he looked over at the CPUs as they finished off the tank.

"That appears to be the last of them." Black Heart said as the both floated down toward Dez. "The question is why did a large group like this converge and attack the outskirts of your city."

"I'm sure ASIC had something to do with it, but…" Purple Heart replied as she reverted herself back to normal, bouncing in Desmond's face "What is with the lightning Dez, that was awesome, how did you do that."

"We saw something like that happen when we first found you, Neptune almost got hit." Noire said after transforming back to her human form.

"I don't know, nothing like that could happen in my world. But after the first shot I noticed some kind of power within me, and when I concentrated it to a single point electricity shot out and hit the tree." Desmond answered as he crossed his arms. "Well it looks like everything around here is taken care of. We probably should head home." He said as he looked toward Neptune.

"Ya, let's go and leave the loner to her loneliness." Neptune said with a chipper tone and smile.

"I'm not lonely Neptune, I have friends!" Noire yelled

"Do ya, what's their name? Is it your sister? Because sisters don't count." Neptune teased.

"I'll be her friend." Desmond said as he walked over to Noire, placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a smile "and now Neptune won't be able to tease you about not having friends." 'I doubt she'll stop though.' He thought to himself. He turned toward Neptune "Let's go home Neptune, Noire sense you're here already come and have dinner with us." He removed his hand and started the walk back.

"W-why would I go with you two?" Noire said in her tsundere fashion.

"Like Dez said, your already here so come on. Or are you going to reject his friendship and continue to be a loner.

"O-ok, but it's not because I want to, it's because you begged me." Noire huffed.


"Hey we're back!" Neptune calls out "We also brought Noire with us."

"Hey everyone. I'm almost done with dinner so I'll be there in a minute." Nepgear responded.

"Hey Gear, where's Compa and IF?" Desmond yelled out.

"IF is working, and Compa is staying late for her nursing school." Nepgear said as she walked around the corner into the living room.

"Ok. What did you make for dinner?" Dez asked

"Spaghetti and meatballs." She answered back

"Well, I'm starvin' so let's eat." Neptune said.

Neptune grabbed Desmond and pulled him into the kitchen almost causing him to fall from the sudden jolt as Noire rushed after them.

After dinner was done Nepgear was cleaning up, Neptune was playing video games so Desmond went to see Noire off.

"Hope to see you again, it was nice even with Neptune's acts of randomness." Desmond said as he opened the door.

"Yes it was and she can get out of hand, I feel sorry for you." Noire said as she made her way to the doorway.

"Don't worry about me. I'd rather her be like this, she's fun to be around and makes things interesting, so it's all good." He replied with a smile.

"Ok, if you say so." Noire said as she started to walk out, but turned back "D-Desmond, t-thanks for calling me your friend and if you ever need to get away from Neptune you can stop by." She said quietly and slightly flustered.

"Ok, I'll try to stop by at some point. Well see ya." He said with a warm smile and a wave.

"Bye." She replied as she walked away.

Desmond closed the door and walked back toward his room as he was stopped by Neptune. "Hey, where are you going? It's not that late, play some games with me come on." She called out as she placed a controller on the seat next to her.

"Ok, that's two nations down, one to go. It's Leanbox right?" He questioned after he sat down.

"Yep, but let's not focus on that right now we've got games to play." She declared while throwing a fist into the air.

"Ok, but I won't lose to you." He said while giving her a slight push.

"Oh ya, bring it on." She rebutted before sticking her tongue out at him.
