Abnormal CPUs are a rare occurrence in Gamindustri. They are so rare that multiple generations of CPUs can go without an abnormal CPU being born and that is considered a good thing.
abnormal CPUs are considered abnormal for a reason
some are born with too much power that it overwhelms them and turns them into a monster much like the CPU of the nation of Eden, Chrome, who, once upon a time was known as Chrome heart, later became the Deity of Sin and the nation of Eden was reduced to what is now known as the Gamindustri Graveyard
Some are born without proper compatibility with Share energy like one Uzume Tennouboshi of Planeptune, who was sealed away of her own volition after the Negative energy in her overwhelmed her and caused her to harm some of her own citizens
And of course there's those that are simply born with the wrong gender and are generally disliked by the public and those that like them are people that have come to like them over time after he has done his damnedest to earn their trust and faith
It is one such CPU that is the main focus of this story
His name is Rush Alias, Rush for short. He is a CPU of Lastation, the older brother and predecessor of CPU Black Heart, Noire, herself
Rush is a fair skinned boy who looks to be around 15 with crimson eyes and short black hair, he is typically seen wearing a midnight blue long sleeved, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a pair of black dress slacks with black square toed formal shoes
When fighting he uses a short sword in a style that is eerily similar to that of Noire herself, in fact he even has his own variant of Noire's own special attacks. Although i suppose that isn't a surprise since everything he knows about fighting he taught her
If there was a flaw about the boy (his gender isn't a "flaw" no matter how many people may say that it is) is the fact that he has absolutely no sense of direction
Which is how he found himself in his current situation for the last century or so
Somewhere on the eastern side of Gamindustri
Within a rather dense forest east of Lastation stands a ancient derelict shrine that is held together through the use of the glowing runes carved onto its walls and written throughout the clearing that it is in
…
*thud*
if anyone were in the clearing they would have heard a dull thud coming from the shrine
*Bang*... *Bang*... *Bang*
Followed by banging
*CRASH*
And then a loud crash as the front of the shrine is busted open revealing a relatively tired Rush looking Lastation CPU levels of annoyed
"*grumble**grumble*Stupid forest…*grumble**grumble*stupid shrine…*grumble**grumble*stupid labyrinth…" the boy grumbles under his breath as he walks away from the now destroyed shrine towards the cliff behind the shrine, that he vaguely made out when her took a look around whilst grumbling, to get a good vantage point to see where the heck he is
Once he exits the runic circle that surrounds the shrine as he walked towards the cliff, there was a deep rumbling as the shrine and everything within the runic circle surrounding it caved in on itself
Rush just looks blankly at what just occurred, "welp… that happened…" he states before shaking his head and continues on his way to the cliff
It didn't take long for our protagonist to make his way to the cliff and take a good look at his surroundings
The first thing that he notes is that Lastation looks very different from what he remembers, it's almost like he ended up in a different…time…period…
"Just how long was I trapped in that goddess forsaken shrine!?" He yells out in a mix of surprise, frustration and anguish as his thought go to his little sister as she wasn't ready to take over the nation when he got trapped in that shrine
He doesn't know how long he has been gone for as such he hopes against all odds that his baby sister is safe
Almost like his hopes were being answered immediately, he sees 4 blurs flying in the corner of his eye
Looking in the direction he sees a blur of Purple, Green, White and Black flying to the Gamindustri Graveyard
'CPUs?' his mind supplies him, 'but why are they going to the graveyard? Is the Deity of Sin awakening again?'
His being is covered by a pillar of light
When the pillar of light faded, A dark figure stood where Rush was, his pure white hair stood out in comparison to the rest of him. his ebony armor that looked as though it was obscured by darkness and only visible due to the glowing crimson lines that accented its form. The sunlight of the current time of day reveals his figure further. His armor is intricate. Covering his entire body from head to toe.
One would not be wrong in saying that he looked less like a person and more akin to a robot, Regardless, CPU Obsidian Heart has returned
Focusing his attention on the Graveyard, his purple visor glowed as he got it within his sight. Purple and blue energy erupted from his wings as he prepared himself and He, lord Ebony Heart of Lastation, takes off towards the graveyard without much of a second thought
Regardless of if his sister is still alive, he is still a CPU and he must help to ensure that the Deity of Sin does not awaken
He does hold hope in his heart that one of the CPUs that he saw was in fact his sister, no matter how unlikely that it may be
As he draws closer to the location he sees the CPUs in a stand still against a scarlet haired woman in a CPU-escue processor
The woman, by looks alone, could be described as a CPU however the feelings of dread she exudes is akin to that of the Deity of Sin
As for the CPUs there's… 8? He is sure he only saw 4 of them flying here…
The first is the one he assumes is the Purple CPU that he saw earlier. She has long purple hair tied into twin braids wearing a black and purple processor that has the symbol of the nation of Planeptune on it, she is wielding a katana for her weapon
The second one can be described as the younger sister of the first, she has long flowing lilac hair and is wearing a white and Lilac processor that has the symbol of the nation of Planeptune on it, she is wielding a gunblade for her weapon
The next one is the only green CPU in the area. She has green hair that is tied into a ponytail and is wearing a white and green processor that leaves much to the imagination and bears the symbol of leanbox wielding a spear
After her is a trio of white CPUs. The first one has Short light blue hair with a pair of bangs framing her face, wearing a mostly white processor that has the symbol for Lowee. She is wielding an axe as her weapon
The remaining pair of white CPUs appears to be twins with the first one having short light blue hair with a bang on the right side of her face while the other has short pink hair with a bang on the left side of her face. Both of them are wearing white and pink processors that have the symbol for Lowee. They are both magic users as they are using staves
And finally a pair of black CPUs, one of which has long flowing white hair and is wearing a mostly black processor that has Lastation's symbol on it and is wielding a greatsword.
While the other has white hair tied into twin drill pigtails and is wearing a mostly black processor that has Lastation's symbol on it and is using a railgun
He also sees a number of makers with the CPUs facing off against the other woman
He rushes in "HURRICANE SWORD!"
Turns out he didn't need to attack the woman in order to get her to leave, however, she is one of the Deity of sin's 4 horsemen of the apocalypse (so to speak) and she also reminded him of the fascist group in Lastation that called themselves "The Order"
So please do excuse him for taking an unprompted yet very required aggressive action
Even so, of the 4 CPUs, 4 Candidates and the 6 makers, only 2 CPUs,
(technically 3 but one has amnesia so she doesn't count)
[hey! How rude! ＼(｀0´)／]
(what the?! ( ;ↀ⌓ↀ) )
(Begone gremlin! ▬▬ι════════ﺤ)
[YEOUCH! ∑(; °Д°)]
[Meanie! *Runs away* ˚‧º·(˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)‧º·˚]
(*AHEM* Now, where were we?... ah, right)
Only 2 CPUs remember who he is, the first is Lady Blanc, CPU White Heart, of Lowee who has faced off against him numerous times in the past
The other is his own younger sister Noire, Former CPU Candidate Obsidian sister and current CPU Black Heart
Even so, all the CPUs and the Candidates undid their CPU transformation (Rush included), as they didn't have the Share Energy to spare for them to keep lingering around in their transformed states
Although Blanc kept her hammer in hand while keeping a wary eye on her old rival from Lastation who just disappeared one day
and of course Noire reacted in the most Noire way possible "RUSHY!"
which is to say, she promptly glomped her missing brother to the ground while yelling the nickname that she refers to him by
Yes, she basically tackled him to the ground in an enthusiastic hug that would definitely make Uni jealous
"Erm, is it just me or was that, like, really cute?" Neptune asks no one in particular
