Chapter 1: New game, start!

A group of girls walking to the place where the explosion(?) sound came from, a cream hair girl went ahead from her group and then she saw two boys standing around, removing dust from their clothes. She decided to approach the boys.

"Um.. Are you guys okay? There're so many wounds on your body..." She asked

"We're alright. Just a little scratch won't be a big problem for us. Anyway, thanks for asking." Nico smiled at the cream hair girl.

"Compaa, you shouldn't rush like that. What if something suddenly happen to you and we can't act fast enough." said the girl with light brown hair, and she wear a green leaf hair piece.

"But Iffy, they teach me to help every single person who is suffering." said Compa. "Now mister, hold back a minute, this might be stingy, but it's good for quick heal." as she drew a giant syringe from her back.

"What the-! No, wait. No, we're perfectly fine. We just playing around and fell." Nico said while rejecting Compa's injection

"Umm.. Playing around until both of you made a big crater and a hole?" IF with untrusting look at the boys.

"Ahaha... Well.. stuff happen you can call it.." Nico rubbing his back hair, smiled at IF.

"Compaaa, I should be the one who reach there first since I'm the main character!" a wild lilac hair girl appeared, then she suddenly jump and landed beside Compa with a hero pose. "Huh, Compa, who are they? The orange hair one and the man in black."

"Nep-nep, that's not nice saying that right in front of the person you describe out loud." Compa said.

"I'm sorry both of you, she's always like this sometimes. But she didn't mean anything bad" IF looked at the boys.

"It's okay, we're used to it. Right Ravy?" said Nico, but Raven doesn't want to look, he's facing to the other side.

"Onee-chan, wait for me." another lilac hair girl appeared. But this time, she's a bit taller than the first one. Now all of them have arrived.

"Aww my little sister, you're slower than me. Which mean I win the bet, and you will have to give me more puddings later~" said the lilac hair girl called Neptune arrogantly with her both hand on her waist.

"Umm, I'm sorry to cut in, but do you know where are we right now?" Nico ask the girls.

"Huh, what are you talking about? Of course you're in the Gamindustri. And you're in Planeptune right now. To be precise, you're on the depth of Virtua Forest." IF with confused look. "Both of you should know it already."

"Planeptune? Virtua Forest?" Nico confused.

"Umm... Iffy, maybe they had amnesia like Nep-nep did in the first place." said Compa with sad look.

"Yay, I have amnesiac friends now!" Neptune cheered.

"Nepko, you still going on that until now?" IF sighed, with her fingers on her forehead.

"Onee-chan, that's a bit rude you know.." said the taller lilac girl. "Both of you, I'm sorry."

"What? Amnesia? No no no, we still know who we're, and where we live. We live in South East Asia, in an apartment near our school. Look, this place should be in earth right?" Nico with flustered face.

The girls just look at each other.

"It's useless to ask them Nico, this place definitely not in the earth, and we must be on the other dimension." Raven suddenly pops up beside Nico while folding his arm in front of his chest.

Now that you mention it. They said this is Gamindustri, and the game we're about to play said it's in a world called Gamindustri too. Are we inside of the game? Hold on.. With Ravy said we're on the other dimension, I guess he know it already.

"Nepu! The man in black start talking!" Neptune jump a bit and Nico snapped back to reality.

"It's okay, he tend to be like that. He won't bite you unless you provoke him enough." Nico giggles as he give a quick glance at Raven.

"What kind of person you think I am?!" Raven snapped.

"Nepupu! Don't eat me, I beg you! I mean, forgive me! Ah! I'll give you a lot of puddings in return of releasing me! Just don't eat me, please, I'm the main heroine here!" Neptune hide behind Compa while crying comically.

"Nep-nep, He just joking around. I know that they're a good guy and they won't do anything to hurt you." Compa smiled at Neptune. Raven looking to other way and let out a long sigh.

"Alright people, enough with chit-chatting." IF clap her hands. "You guys seems come from other dimension. Nepko had it once too, into the another Gamindustri called Ultradimension while this one is Hyperdinension. Maybe we should go back to Basilicom and ask Histoire if she knows anything about this." IF back with a serious look.

"Okayy~" Everyone in unison.

Before leaving Virtua Forest.

"Ah yes, how rude of us. We haven't introduce ourselves to you guys yet." said Nico while waiting for the girls to ready. "My name is Nicolas, but you can call me Nico. The quiet guy who wearing black from the top to bottom is my best friend, Raven."

"I'm IF. The cream hair is Compa. The hyperactive one is Neptune. And the more mature one is Nepgear." a quick introduction, IF back to checking her Qatar

"Nice to meet'cha Nicky, Ravy." Neptune fixing her shoes.

"It's Nico. Nicky feels like a girl's name. So please, Nico is good." Nico with troubled face.

"Now now, let's not argue on small stuff." She stand up and smiled.

"You're a bad listener don't you." Nico sigh a bit while Raven giggle from behind.

"Now, you boys ready?" IF asked.

"We always ready. Lead the way Iffy." Nico and Raven follow the girls from behind.

All of them decide to leave the forest. After a few minutes walking, they met a slime.

"Huh, why there's a dog faced slime?" Nico ask the girls.

"It's Dogoo. Don't get fooled by the look of it. They might look friendly, but they're monster and still dangerous." Nepgear explain to Nico and Raven.

But there's way too many of dogoos in the way. They had to fight them in order to continue to the exit. The girls defeated them in no time though. But still, they're outnumbered. Nico and Raven feel bad just being covered and looking at them from behind.

"How come there's so many dogoos. There's less of them when we come in. This don't even make any sense." IF slashing them.

Nico and Raven walk toward the groups.

"Iffy was it? Do you have some kind of weapon we can use. Maybe a gun for me and a scythe for Ravy." Nico approach IF from behind.

"Yeah, I got a gun, but ask Nepgear for the scythe. Are you sure about this? Not to offend you, but both of you have no experience in fighting, right?"

"Not really. But we'll give a try. Better than do nothing."

"Oh well, if you insist. Keep in mind, if things got dangerous, you guys can back off a bit. Here, it's called Desert Falcon. It'll automatically recharge it's energy everytime you shoot. Dont lose it. It's my favorite." IF handing the gun over.

"Heeh, that's interesting. Thanks. I'll make sure I don't." Nico checking the gun.

"Umm, here's your scythe Mr. Raven. We don't use it very much, so you can have it." Nepgear hand it to Raven, and get back to fight.

"I guess it is even now, eh? Let's go Ravy, I know you have been waiting for this too." Nico grin. He then give some covering shot for Raven while he slashing dogoos. Now the girls fight with the help from the boys.

"Whoa, Nicky and Ravy stand out more than us now. I won't lose to them!" then Neptune look at Nepgear. "Let's do it, Nepgear!"

"Okay, Onee-chan!" both of them move back a bit from the dogoos.

"Transform!" suddenly, a tall pillar of light cover both of them. And then there's a purple twintails braid hair girl, with mature body and voice, as well a familiar lilac hair girl. Both of them wearing some kind of one piece bathing suit. The purple hair is black suit, and the lilac one with lilac suit.

"Huh? What is happening here. Who are they, and where're Neptune and Nepgear." both Nico and Raven shocked.

"Ah, I think I forgot to tell you guys about this. They are goddesses. Well, Neptune is CPU, and Nepgear is a candidate and Neptune's little sister as well. They're the leader of Planeptune, with Histoire as their Oracle." IF explain while she slashing some dogoos, and Compa heal IF after that. "There are four nations in total. Each nations have their own goddesses. Planeptune is Purple Heart, Lastation is Black heart, Leanbox with Green Heart, and Lowee with White Heart. And all goddesses except Green Heart, have a sister." IF backing out as well as Nico, and their back meet each other.

"Such a long explanation, I might need a time to process it." Nico chuckle. "But, you better explain it again later. Right now, we need to deal with this first." IF give a nod.

"Everyone, let me handle the situation. Nepgear, let's go!" Purple Heart and Purple Sister dashed to the crowd of dogoos. "Haaah!" she slashed a pack of dogoos in one strike.

"Nepko, don't you forget about us. Everyone, let's go too!" IF and the others run toward the crowds.

15 minutes later...

"And.. that's it! That must be the last of 'em!" Purple Heart slash the last dogoo around them.

A wild Huge Dogoo has appeared!

"Holy son of a cat.." Nico can't close his jaw for a minutes. Raven just frozen seeing that huge thing.

"What?! How come a Huge Dogoo spawn in here too!?" Purple Heart shocked, she even doesn't move an inch because of it.

"Onee-chan, don't let your guard down!" Purple Sister shout.

"Oops, that was close. Thanks Nepgear." Purple Heart do a quick dodge as the Huge Dogoo attack. A few seconds late could be a fatal hit to her.

"Compa, give us some supporting heal." IF look at Compa.

"Okay Iffy!" Compa get her giant syringe ready again.

"Both of you boys, stay back, we'll handle it. It's too much for you and this moment." IF run toward Neptune to help as Compa follow right behind her.

Nico and Raven stayed behind again, watching them fighting the Huge Dogoo from far. They keep hitting and hitting, but the Huge Dogoo doesn't take much damage. They won't hold for a few more minutes if this keep going since they exhausted enough from the last fight. Even Neptune and Nepgear back to their human form. This is way worse than before.

This situation again? Is that how much you guys sacrifice just for us, a strangers who just come from nowhere? Are we even worth to be saved? Is THIS what I want? No... I don't want them to suffer just because us couldn't do anything. I know we're not in our world anymore, we're in some kind of dimension where illogical and magical things can happen. But still, this is too much for me just to watch them from a far. I wonder if Ravy think the same too...

When Nico try to peek at Raven, he is looking at him. He smiled as he give a little nod to Nico.

Of course you do, you can read my mind easily don't you, eh Ravy. Now, since this isn't our world anymore, I guess we can do the impossible too right? Maybe we can do some kind of special move or some kind of magic I can do to beat this Huge Dogoo. But I need a divertion before that... I should ask Ravy if he can help me.

"Ravy. Sorry, but I need you to divert it attention to you for a while. I'll tell you when you need to back off."

"I'm on it!" Raven then rush toward Huge Dogoo, hitting it a few times, then it go for him. Nico close his eyes.

Now, calm down Nico. This should be easy enough. Imagine it like you are the hero of a game.. Feel the power flowing through your body.. Collect it together in your hand.. Let it flow to your weapon... Concentrate it on your weapon... Not yet.. Not yet... Now! He open his eyes

"Ravy, get back now!" Nico shout, and Raven quickly move away from the Huge Dogoo. "Haaah..!" some kind of light and particles being collected into the gun's mouth. "Millenium Buster!" the small pistol shoot a quite big laser. The knockback is big, big enough to make Nico fall even he hold it with his two hands with all might. It's a direct hit, it breach the Huge Dogoo. The Huge Dogoo gone, becoming a particle of codes.

"It's gone desu..." Compa looking at the remaining codes flying and disappeared.

"Nepu! Now my MVP is taken by Nicky, he steal my kill too.." Neptune with sad look, fall on her spot as her leg gave up.

"Onee-chan.." Nepgear with troubled smile.

"Really.. A savior always come late, eh." IF smiled, looking at Nico which now is sitting, looking at the trace of his shot. Then he stand up and together with Raven, they walk back to the group.

*Level Up!*

"Huh? Why there's a level up text pop out from my head? And Ravy got it too." Nico stand beside Raven.

"You will level up if you reach certain Exp. The Exp itself came from defeating monsters and being shared to everyone in the party with the same amount. We've defeated a hundred of dogoos and a boss, no wonder you level up in no time." IF explain it as she walking toward Nico and Raven.

"Well, we do feel a bit stronger than before." Raven adds in.

"Besides that, you guys can see everyone status too, even yours too. There's name, level, health point, skill point, equipment, and many more! Both of you should try it now." Neptune stand in front of the boys. "Try say 'stats' in your mind. And it will pop up on each of us and on your lower right of vision. If you want to see certain person's complete status and equipment, say the person's name after saying status. For example 'stats Neptune'."

Stats.

And then a quick stats box pop up which contain Name, Level, Health Point, and Skill Point.

Whoa, this is way too amazing.. I can see the girls current status, Ravy's and mine too! Ravy and I at level 9 now. Well, that make sense since we just beat like a whole damn country of dogoos. Let's see the girls... IF at 17, Compa 16, Nepgear 18, Neptune at 10. Phew, at least there's someone near our level. Wait a second... Ehhh! Neptune at level 10?! How come she's lower than the other girls?! I mean, she must be around 20 or higher with all of that special ability!

Neptune being stared by Nico while he talking to himself.

"Hey Nicky, is there something on my face? Don't tell me..? Am I that pretty? Aww~ I'm embarrassed now if you keep staring at me like that." Neptune put both hand on her cheek and shakes her head.

"Neptune, he must be thinking why your level nearly same as him and Raven. Well, you have been slacking off for a year, no wonder your level low too." IF sharp as ever.

"Iffy! Why you suddenly trying to break my confident. Right Nico, you're not thinking what IF said right?!" Neptune hold Nico's shoulder and shakes him.

"Huh, what?" Nico snapped back to reality. "Oh, about what IF said? Yup, yes I do" Nico said while giggle at Neptune.

"Hauuu... Now my pride as a woman is gone... I'm sure my fans think the opposite.. Both of you will get my revenge one day.." Neptune with gloomy aura all over her. "Author, I blame you for inserting them to this world.." Neptune look up to the sky.

Huh? This is my story, so I am allowed to do anything I want (^O^).

"I hate you..."

"Is she always like this all the time?" Nico ask the other girls.

"Nep-nep like to say random things sometime, but you'll get used to it later desu.." Compa with troubled smile.

"Oh well, let's go back to Basilicom guys. I can't wait to eat some puddings~" Neptune back to her normal state.

"But, thanks both of you for your help back there. Sorry to get you involved in the fight and had to save us who supposed to be covering you." Nepgear bowed to Nico and Raven.

"No no, we should thanks to you Nepgear, for your hard work." Nico smiled to Nepgear who just stand beside him, she blushed a bit.

"Ah, not fair! Why only Nep jr.! I did my best too!" Neptune angry with white eyes on her face.

"Yes, yes. Thanks for your hard work too, Neptune."

"Aww, flirting won't get you to anywhere, you know." Neptune smile while shaking her head.

"It's a compliment though." Nico grinned.

"They have become best friends already desu." Compa smiled.

"You're right." IF nod. "Now, shall we keep going? It close now to the city, so it shouldn't take long to reach Basilicom."

"Alright, finally to the Planeptune. Once we reach the Basilicom, we gonna meet this Histy person you talking about, Neptune." Nico then remember about IF's gun. "But before we get going, Iffy." Nico calls IF to come to him.

"Hmm? What is it Nico?"

"About your gun, Sorry. Tee hee." Nico put his hand behind his head, smiling with his tongue out while showing the gun from IF with his other hand. The gun broken now, it's mouth look like exploded from inside. The gun's grip still okay though. It give IF a giant shock, a hard mental breakdown.

"Nico, your word sound like half assed apologize." Raven sigh.

"Nepu! Did some kind of powerful firework just pop inside the gun?!" Neptune shocked, back to her white eyes.

"Amazing.. It get destroyed by Nico's skill. " Nepgear close her mouth with her both hand.

"Nick-nick have such an unbelieveable power too desu." Compa look at Nico.

Actually, I don't believe myself too, having this much power. Maybe I put too much energy on it?

"Huh? Iffy? Why you so quiet suddenly? Are you angry at Nick-nick?" Compa take a look at IF.

"Heh.. Hehehehe.. ahh~ what are you talking about, Compa~" looks like IF broken too now..

"Nepu nepu! Iffy, are you okay..?" Neptune with flustered look.

"Neptune, it's useless to talk to her right now. Maybe we should go to your place, before anything shows up again, and calm her down on the way." Nico grab IF's hand and put to his shoulder, Raven do the same.

IF with lifeless stare and pale face on her, She walk around like a drunk man. They guess it hit her mental way TOO hard, since it her favorite. And apparently, Compa said it is limited edition weapon which mean it will be hard to find who sell the gun now. Now they completely left the forest. And then there's two shadows behind tree near the exit. They were unnoticed by the group.

"Tch, I underestimate them too much, especially those two boys. I thought they just a normal persons. But next time, I'll make sure it'll be the end for all of them." the taller one wearing some kind of witch hat.

"I told you, just release all of the monster right away chu. Our mission would be quicker too if you do what I told you chu." a smaller one, with the shape of mouse.

"Shut up.. If I do that, they'll know right away that someone planned already. Just do what I told you, and we'll beat them easily."

"Whatever chu.." the mouse sigh, and then they gone somewhere.
