A chilling echo comes across the abandoned factory. Linda has been watching the doorway along with the annoying black rat, with big round ears, a heart-shaped tail with a crack in the middle of it, and a heart tattoo cracked in half on his chest, the monster named Warechu. She had a paddle ball to pass the time while zipping up her jacket and looking at the other cultists of the lost Deity of Sin, marauders, thieves, and gang members. Linda sighed to herself, "Didn't expect my remaining two bosses to be running this, especially with that creepy skeleton dude pulling the strings," Right on cue, she saw the mysterious monster far ahead walking towards them through the isolated fields. "Of all the time for Planeptune train to be late. I really do not like this guy."
Warechu laughs, "One little weak melting face skeleton got you so freaked out? Wow! You are losing your touch!"
Linda grabbed Warechu by the ear and pulled them, "What was that, you little shit! Wanna say that again!?"
Warechu screams in pain, "Ow! Ow! Stop hurting me! I'm sorry!"
Linda lets the little guy go, her reddish eyes beaming at Warechu like a hot knife through butter, "Remember who the boss is here."
The bandit near them laughed, "Careful young lady, you may be one year away from legally drinking, but you ought to be careful otherwise…"
Linda groaned, walks up to the bandit, and punches him in the side of the head, knocking him out, "Who's next to talk shit? Huh? Anyone?" The bandits look away from her, "Yeah, thought so!"
The mysterious monster approaches Linda when he sees the commotion, "My. My, is there a problem here?"
Linda, terrified of this entity, responds, "No sir, just keeping them in line." She saw a monster with hollow eyes, a permanent smile, a crack on the upper right side of his skull, and one on the lower left side. The rest of his body was under a black mass of a cloak, "Don't normally see the likes like you around."
The melting skeleton smiles wider, which creeps everyone out, "I suggest you should, too; we don't want any trouble now. Otherwise, I will send you to the same prison as I just sent that Combat patrol unit I fought."
Warechu had a shocked look on his face, "You've fought a CPU and won!"
"Sent them to somewhere they cannot bother us." The monster said with a smile still on his face, all the criminals slowly backed away from this thing, knowing he could easily destroy them.
Linda grits her teeth, "Well, maybe you got lucky, and they were weak on their shares."
The monster nods, "Perhaps, but I shall meet your superiors. CFW Magic."
Linda gulps, "She is inside further in the factory."
"You two should take me to her." The monster replied.
Warechu spat, "What a simple skeleton?"
The skeleton looked at Warechu, and before anyone could blink, the little rat glowed blue, and he got slammed down to the ground in an instant. The skeleton chuckled, "How amusing. I escaped the void to this strange new world, and yet the sheer arrogance I see around me is astonishing."
Linda chuckled nervously, "I will take you to Magic."
Linda and the dizzy Warechu both lead the stranger to the heart of the facility where CFW Magic is. CFW Magic adored a reaper-like techno attire, almost resembling a bikini in a way, she had slick sleeves with gauntlets on her arm, her hair was down, completely, and the spiked bands were on the table next to a map she was looking at. Next to her was a large teal and grey mech with large pauldrons, large mechanical-like wings sprouting from his back, large gloves, and lower armor, and he appeared to be floating in midair. He wore a bat-winged helmet with his glowing teal eyes, and upon his armor was a bunch of patterns you would find of controllers and gamepads. CFW Magic sighs in frustration, and hears the ranting of CFW Judge, "This is getting too damn boring, when are we going to get to the action already!" CFW Judge complained.
The mysterious monster interrupts them, "Quite the argument we have here!"
CFW Magic and CFW Judge both look at the monster. The arrogant CFW judge spat, "Who the hell are you?"
CFW Magic stopped what she was doing as soon as she saw the monster, "Wait, were you the one that brought us back?"
The monster Laughed and widened its creepy smile, "Quite sharp you are. My name is WD Gaster. A scientist from long ago."
Linda scratches her head, "So that's his name."
CFW Judge spat, "I could care less who or what you are, but I already don't like you, so get out of my sight or die! We serve our glorious goddess!"
CFW Magic chuckles maliciously, "The one that will bring an end to everything and bring us peace."
Gaster calmly clasps his hands together. The bony sight of them, how each finger digit was separated, and how there was a hole in each hand gave everyone the creeps, while he just casually says, "Oh, do you mean the angel of death that is sleeping in the void her essence throughout the void. The Deity known as Arfoire, or the Deity of Sin? Quite a feat to have an entire dimension afraid of you. Alas, from what I can see, she has been utterly defeated. Quite a pathetic end, I must say."
CFW Judge draws his spear, "I will make you pay for that!" He lunges at Gaster until his entire body turns blue. "What?"
Gaster flicks the boss monster away. CFW Judge slams into the wall getting knocked out in the process, "How uncivilized." Gaster replies with a sigh.
CFW Magic had her weapon drawn, "You dare attack one of us? You dare speak ill of our goddess? You dare consider her pathetic and weak? I must see to the Deity of Sin's return!" She dashes towards Gaster until invisible strings catch her dead in her tracks, "What is this?" The strings keep her suspended in the air.
Linda pulls out her crowbar, screaming, "Hey, let her go, you freaking creep!"
Gaster's smile never faded as he tilted his head, "Let's not be irrational, shall we? Then again, rationality means little to a cult that follows a deity of absolute destruction." Gaster approaches Magic, and looks her in the eye, "I see you are still in denial. You cannot accept your precious Deity of sin could be fallible and flawed? You cannot accept the fact that despite her being at her strongest, she was defeated, and therefore, this world remained intact?"
CFW Magic just remained calm. In a low, calm voice; she threatened Gaster, "Remember those words, fool, you will soon learn to regret them. The goddess brought us back to continue her work and revive her once more and bring this world to its knees along with you."
Warechu spoke aloud, "I don't know which is scarier the fact that CFW looks really mad, or that this Gaster guy is not even phased by her threat."
Linda grips her crowbar and raises it to hit Gaster until a skeletal hand grabs her arms, holding them still, and to her horror, they are disembodied skeletal hands with perfectly circular holes in them. "What the hell kind of a monster are you?"
Gaster laughs a distorted, haunting, echoing laugh. This made the air grow colder, and the people outside began to panic from the noise heard outside. He says in an echoing voice, "You think I'm a fool CFW Magic? The one that follows the goddess of destruction, the one that currently is disembodied in the void sleeping so soundly. Do you think she gives a damn about your cause? Oh, poor dear, you have made a mistake on so many levels. Arfoire is dead, but her revival did leave a door for me to escape the void and allowed me to escape to this world before her death and having her consciousness return to the void. It took years, but once I regained my strength, I was the one that brought you all back to serve me and my ambitions."
CFW Magic breaks free from Gaster's bindings, "I have had it with all your lies and blasphemy you infidel!" She picks up her scythe and charges at Gaster with an intense rage, "You will die for your arrogance, and blasphemy!"
Gaster calmly raises his hand which creates a forcefield around himself effortlessly blocking the cultist leader's attack, "How unfortunate." He expanded his forcefield with a sudden burst that blew CFW back and made her hit a wall. This also blew Warechu and Linda back and to the ground. "Then again, I should not expect a cult leader to be rational."
"Chu… I don't like this guy," Warechu said, as they barely got back up, "I didn't even get a chance to attack."
Linda groans as she sat up, "Geez, this guy means business, and Magic looks even more pissed off."
CFW Magic proceeds to cast dark projectiles at Gaster, who summoned a giant skeletal hand blocking all of them. Gaster reaches forward, and suddenly, CFW Magic's entire body glows blue, he motions his hand to the ground, and with light speed, this strange magic slams CFW Magic to the ground. He walks closer to the cult leader. "You cannot accept that your precious goddess is dead. Here, let me show you the truth." He grips her face and looks her straight in the eye, showing her visions of the deity of sin's demise.
CFW Magic, not having any of it, shouts, "I refuse to believe such nonsense. I will send you to oblivion for this!"
Gaster chuckles, "Foolish little girl, I am from oblivion! Now that I got your undivided attention, I shall show you the truth, and something more in hopes of cooperation."
Linda gets up slowly, "Dude, you just burnt that bridge? So, why in the living hell, do we want to cooperate with you now? You came here and talked a lot of shit, but you have not once! Once! Said why the freaking hell you are here! So cut the bullshit and tell us what the hell do you want!?"
CFW Magic struggles to break free from Gaster's magic, as Gaster looks upon Linda and Mirichu, "Very well. I shall explain why I am here. One was to show that your goddess was defeated. Of course, by the CPU, otherwise, this world would not be here." Gaster snaps his fingers. He shows them the past, where Arfoire was defeated by the CPUs led by Nepgear.
CFQ Magic twitches her eye, "What? What is this?"
Gaster slowly tilts his head, "Why, this is the past. The moment when Arfoire met her demise by these CPUs with their undying will to preserve this world. These women celebrated and rejoiced and then went on their separate ways. This world was saved by those naïve girls with such powerful determination, it is astounding. Yet if they only knew that not every timeline and world has a happy ending."
CFW Magic angrily swipes at the visions of Nepgear and the CPUs until she tires herself out and then, starts laughing madly, "These fools. These infidels manage to cast away the goddess!? Oh, that is blasphemy on the highest level!"
Gaster clasped his hands together, dispelling the illusion, "How interesting? Emotional damage. The easiest way to break someone. The easiest way to get them to do what you want."
Linda shakes in place, thinking to herself, "Is this his plan all along? To break her, and for what purpose?"
The cult leader goes into a psychotic laughing fit while screaming, "I shall burn this pathetic world to the ground in the name of the deity of sin!" She grips her scythe as she settles down, "Starting with that little bitch Nepgear." She walks forward towards Gaster, who is just standing there with no strings, strange magic hands, or any tricks, and asks, "You mention not every world doesn't have a happy ending? Tell me, did these CPUs suffer in those worlds? Did the Deity of Sin gain victory in those worlds?"
Warechu hides behind Linda, "Our boss is somehow different, and I do not like it! No, not at all!"
Linda responds, "Yeah, me neither. Creep factor over 100 at this point."
Gaster replies, "Depends on one definition of suffering."
CFW Magic raises her eyebrow, "Enlighten me?"
"A savior sorrow as she slays those who are closest to her heart to kill the Deity of Sin. Unfortunately for the savior, she has doomed her own world out of foolish desperation. One day, her wings will be clipped, then her world will begin to rot, and either she will be consumed by the falling world or become something even worse. Even a heart so pure can be tainted by darkness once given a desperate situation, and given enough time in a spiraling pit of despair. If she does not perish, she will one day break, she will one day, be consumed by her dark thoughts and desires, and who knows, becomes the very thing she once destroyed when she first made that sacrifice." Gaster cryptically says. "But that world is not this one, however."
CFW Magic smiled, "That's a fate worse than death, and such beautiful irony as well."
Gaster laughed, "Now to business, I came for a request in the aid against the CPUs, and to find this purple-haired CPU who is seeking a way to Mt, Ebbott, and to destroy the entrance."
CFW Magic crosses her arms which causes her bust to be more prominent, "Interesting. So, what can scare a powerful man such as yourself? Something inside there that might be even more powerful than you?"
Linda bit her lip, "Hot."
Warechu interrupts Linda's gaze, "Hey, I know you're a fangirl and all, but that's just plain creepy."
"Look who's talking? You have a Compa pillow in your room," Linda replied.
Gaster sighs, "If you are trying to seduce me, you are wasting your time."
CFW Magic shrugs, "Hey, can't help it sometimes. I am gifted on these assets."
Gaster sighs once again, "I will never understand humans' carnal desires, regardless, just find that entrance less our next be even less pleasant."
CFW Magic grips her arms as CFW Judge begins to wake, "Ughhh, did we win?"
"We shall meet again." Gaster suddenly vanishes before everyone's eyes.
Linda spoke first, "I really don't want to meet that guy again."
CFW Magic spoke to herself, "Who was he? He was strong, in fact, he barely gave any effort to defeating us, have we grown weaker? Tsk, impossible! But still doesn't change the fact that he is powerful. At least he is on our side, and we have a common enemy, for now. The question is where to start with all this mess?"
CFW Judge stands back up and says, "Well, for starters, we need to track down that traitor, and revive this broken order."
CFW Magic lets down her arms and heads to the halls, "It's a start, come! We need to make some plans. You will take care of Lastation, see too that your plan is successful."
CFW Judge nods and follows suit leaving Linda and Warechu alone, "I don't think we should trust that skeleton man, he might backstab us. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't like that idea."
Linda sighs, "Yeah, I know, and we need to figure out a plan for him should that happen. Hate to disagree with Magic, but he is the bigger threat. It's just frustrating she doesn't see it.
Man, this sucks."
Warechu gulps, "Then let's get out of here."
Linda nods, "For once, I agree with ya." She leaves the factory, and the ship for Planeptune arrives, and she takes Mirichu along with her for this errand.
Authers note: This is the proper introduction of WD Gaster and he seems to have plans for Gamindustri after escaping the void due to the defeat of the Deity of Sin death, and it took him years to get to full strength. His plans do not bode well for anyone.
