It all happened in a blur. One CPU dropped after another. This went on till it was only cfw magic and nepgear. Magic had defeated all the other CPUs without a single scratch. "How am I going to win?" nepgear thought. Then as if magic had teleported, nepgear was hit over the head. All she could see was red then nothing. Three years later, two girls, one a brunette with a black tank top and short combo with an oversized blue jacket. The other a strawberry blonde with a tan-white sweater and a plaid skirt. They were wandering aimlessly hoping to find the CPUs. "Iffy, this place creeps me out can we just be done?" the strawberry blonde asked to the now identified 'iffy'. "I don't know Compa they could be anywher-" iffy was interrupted when she saw the CPUs and the candidate. "There!" she shouted running towards them. Some barely had consciousness whereas others had none at all. Compa raised a tiny white stone in the air. As she did so the stuff that was holding nepgear in place seemed to burn away. "IF...Compa?" the girl said weakly. Just then a humongous robot appeared. "I'm so bored someone fight me!" he shouted. He then noticed the girls, "you there fight me!" he shouted once again...(man is it just me or does he only have 2 volumes silent or screaming at the top of his lungs) Just then nepgear got up and fought with all she could and didn't even scratch him. "Is that all you got?" the robot taunted. "No I'm going to lose again!? what can I do?" she thought to herself then she saw the sharecite. "HAA!!!" there was a blinding light that blinded(no shit) the robot, but the power coursing through her nepgear collapsed. When she woke up she was in what she could only assume was her room. As she exited her room she saw IF and Compa. "Gear!" "Ge-Ge!" they both exclaimed. Just then a blinding light filled the room. No one could see except nepgear. What she saw was a beacon of light with a core of darkness falling from the sky. She saw an image of a forest just outside of Planeptune. Just then the light faded. A whistling could be heated as well as a rumble felt. Everyone looked out the window to see almost like a beam of light with wings crash into virtua forest just outside Planeptune. She didn't know what was going on but she knew what she saw was important. Without saying a word she rushed out to find what had fell. When she got to the forest there were monsters everywhere. As she fought her way through the monsters, she stumbled into a huge crater. She rolled stumbled and tumbled till she hit something at the bottom, when she opened her eyes she was shocked to see an unconscious boy. This boy had silver hair that covered one eye, he had on a blue jacket with black accents, a red undershirt, black pants, black boots with green laces, white fingerless gloves, and a blue watch with a gold dial, he also looked to be around her age. Nepgear had never seen this boy, but she felt that she knew him somehow. She then felt a burning sensation in her head. The pain, it was unbearable. She thought she was going to die right then and there. Suddenly she felt a huge surge of energy. "Where is this energy coming from?" she thought. Just then a memory of when she was little came to the forefront of her mind. Flashback Nepgear tripped and skinned her knee deep in a forest. She was crying, she couldn't walk so she called for help. "Help!" she screamed no one answered again, and again she called. When she was about to give up she heard a rustling in the bushes. She closed her eyes bracing herself for the worst bit it never came. When she opened her eyes she saw a boy he walked over to her. "What's wrong?" he asked. Then he noticed her knee. "That must sting pretty bad, huh?" the boy then knelt down beside her, suddenly his hands were covered in fire. He stretched out his hands and touched where she had skinned her knee, she expected a burning pain but it wasn't , her knee was now healed. She looked at the boy and realized what he had done for her, she then blushed and said "Thank you, I have no means of showing my gratitude so please do what you wan-" she was cut off when the boy said "I was able to help that's all the gratitude I need" nepgear then began to blush profusely. What was this feeling in her chest, had she fallen for him already? Flashback end This boy sure did look like him, but she had seen the boy she loved and cared about die in her arms. The boy then opened his eyes just a tiny but nepgear could still see it. "Nep...gear" he said. That voice, she would recognize it anywhere. she then burst into tears. "Eric" she cried "Eric its really you" Just then his eyes closed. But she wasn't worried she sensed his pulse. she the got up and carried him back to the basilicom.
