Space Station
Daigo P.O.V.
"Alright and another message sent." I yawned, as I worked on my computer, searching for any signs of alien life or alien resources. "Just need to locate any planets now."
My name is Daigo Stelar, I have brown spiky hair and green eyes with a pair of green Visualisers on my head. I was wearing a white lab coat with blue trousers underneath.
I am a part of a mission sent by the goddesses themselves to go to space to search for aliens with the use of EM waves, an energy source that we use to power our technology.
It's normally invisible to us humans except with my invention, the Visualiser's it would allow us to see the wave world.
We use these EM waves to power technology, however recently there have been large amounts of unknown EM viruses that have arrived affecting our systems. Our team was sent out to space in order to discover the origin of these viruses and see if there could be a whole other race with the same technology as us.
I sighed and rubbed my temples as I looked at the slowly loading computer. "This is going to take all night…well I guess there isn't a night here."
"That was a terrible joke, dear." I turned around and smiled when I saw my wife Akane walking up to me. Akane had long black hair with brown eyes and was wearing the same uniform as me, with a star shaped pendant around her neck.
"You know me, I can't get to sleep without making some kind of joke" I laughed, as Akane walked up next to me looking out the window.
"It really is beautiful." She said, looking at the Vastness of Space before she turned downward. "Ryu would have loved to be here with us."
“Yeah, he really would have…” Our son, Ryu Stelar, is about 11 years old now. We promised him that we would bring a bunch of souvenirs when we get back from this excursion into space.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Suddenly the sirens started going off surprising me, Akane and the other scientists in the room..
"What's going on?" I yelled. looking around as everything was bathed in a red light as Akane checked the computers and gasped.
"I'm reading a huge counterflow of wave energy! It's off the charts!" Akane explained before I ran towards the monitor and began looking through it.
"Our interplanetary communication probe must have been interpreted as a hostile message!" I yelled, looking through my screens.
A red holographic screen suddenly appeared on the platform much to our surprise showing several charts and data.
"This is the current data of the sun, currently, we aren't able to contact them... wait-!" Suddenly the screen began fizzling out before disappearing.
"Hey! What's going on, report!" Akane Shouted, as one of the scientists near us looked at the computer
"It's no use! The contact has overflowed!" A scientist stated.
I gritted my teeth before grabbing my Visualisers and running towards the door, shocking Akane "Daigo! Where are you going!"
"The cause of this is clearly extra-terrestrial, I'm going to go and take a closer look" I explained, but Akane ran up to me.
"Well, I'm coming too!" She said and I smiled at her "Alright".
We ran down the hallway towards the engine room where we saw a large electrical storm going on, I put on my Visualiser allowing me to see rainbow coloured energy steam moving downwards
. "Amazing…" Akane muttered, clear amazement in her eyes and I nodded.
Suddenly the waves started becoming more aggressive and flow downwards faster.
"What the…!" I yelled, noticing a black dot and without warning the entire entrance began shaking
"Akane!" I yelled, reaching for my wife.
"Daigo!" She yelled back, reaching for me as well before we were engulfed in a bright light.
Planeptune
Ryu P.O.V.
"I'm almost home." I said, as I walked back home after a long day of school.
My name is Ryu Stelar, I have brown spiky hair and green eyes, I was wearing my school uniform which was a long-sleeved navy coat and navy trousers along with black shoes.
My parents are a part of the guild and work for the goddesses Oracle, they were sent on a special mission to go to space, one of the first people to ever do so in Gamindustri and they are finally gonna be coming back home tomorrow after their mission to space.
I continued walking until I found my house and smiled before I ran up and opened the door only to see my uncle Aaron and someone I didn't know.
Uncle Aaron had spiky brown hair and eyes, he was wearing a blue cap and a blue jacket underneath a brown shirt, he had brown trousers and blue shoes and he was holding two things, my dad's green Visualizer and a my mom's pendant as well as her Transer which was blue with the same necklace design on it as the one my mom made me.
The other person was a small fairy riding a book, her hair has two blonde pigtails at medium length along with the purple and orange headdress but this time it was accompanied by a hat with the letter N in the centre. She wore a purple dress with open shoulders and a teal tie. Her legwear consists of thigh high socks and white shoes with green circles with a black lining on the centre.
"Uncle Aaron? What are you doing here, who's this?" I asked, as they looked at me while frowning.
"Ryu, Good you're home." Uncle Aaron smiled, before turning to the fairy girl.
"This is your parent's friend and employer… she wanted to tell you something." He said, as the girl looked at me.
"Hello Ryu, I am Histoire, a good friend of your parents… and I have some unfortunate news about them." She told me as I gave her a confused look.
"Huh? What's wrong with my Mom and Dad?" I asked, as they looked down.
"I'm sorry… but we lost transmission with your parents ship…"
"W-W-What do you mean?" I asked, while shaking before turning to Uncle Aaron. "Uncle, she's kidding right?" I asked, but he just kept on looking down.
"I'm sorry, Ryu but…there was an accident with your parents ship."
"No….no….NOOOO!" I yelled, before running up to my room.
"Ryu!" I heard them, but I didn't listen as I ran into my room and jumped in my room landing on my bed.
I stayed in there for a while crying until I cried myself to sleep. "Mom…dad…where are you?" I asked, before closing my eyes.
4 and a half years later
Ryu P.O.V.
"Hey Ryu, we're almost there." I heard my uncle say as I slowly opened my eyes, I looked around and found I was in his car with my bag next to me.
It's been four and half years since my parents disappeared and ever since then I've been moving from Nation to Nation staying with different relatives I don't really know.
I had my dad's Visualiser on my head and my mom's Transfer on my arm. I was wearing a long-sleeved red shirt and black shorts with blue shoes.
I've been going to different schools in each of the nations, but I don't usually stay there for too long, so I don't usually make any friends and I usually just keep to myself.
"You must be looking forward to staying with Miss Histoire." Aaron said, as I closed my eyes, the last relatives I was staying with couldn't keep me anymore because of finances…just like the others.
"I don't really mind…" I mumbled, while looking out the window.
'I haven't been to Planeptune since I was a kid.' I thought, as a sense of nostalgia came over me, I was honestly surprised when I heard the news of me staying in the Basilicom of Planeptune.
"Eh?! What are you talking about? If I was your age I'd be excited to be living with the Goddess." Aaron said, as I sighed.
"Sorry, I'm just tired." I muttered, closing my eyes while we were driving for a while before we stopped.
"Alright, here we are." Aaron said, as I looked outside to see a large cone shaped building reaching higher than any other.
"I still don't get why I can't just stay with you?" I asked, leaving the car and looking up at the tall building.
"Ha! With my salary please, we would starve by the end of the month." He laughed, grabbing my suitcase.
"Here you go. Now, let's head insi-" He said, but then his Transfer began ringing. "One sec."
"What? I'm busy." He asked, as a screen showed up with another man on it "I'm sorry sir, but Faba is trying his inventions again."
"Eh?! Why is he doing that when we haven't figured out all of the kinks?!" He yelled, before turning to me.
"I'm sorry Ryu but I need to head back to the lab, so you'll have to go in on your own."
"Alright..."
Uncle Aoran smiled before going back in his car before driving off.
I looked up at the large building and sighed before grabbing my bags and walking inside.
I walked towards the elevator and waited to reach the top floor where the Goddess was.
‘It really has been awhile since I've last been in Planeptune.’ I thought, looking through the window at the large futuristic city below me before I heaRD the elevator ding confirming I was at the top of the building.
"Guess I'll go in." Gathering up my courage before walking through the door but I didn't expect what I saw.
"Come on you stupid thing work! I just bought a new game and I wanna play!" What I saw was a girl about my age with messy lilac hair banging on a tv which was all fizzy.
The girl was wearing a choker around her neck with a light blue D-pad symbol on it and short sleeved mini hoodie with blue and purple lining around the sleeves and the hood. The hoodie is closed by a button emblem with a large N in the middle and has two strings that look like controller plugs. Underneath she was wearing a dark purple dress lined with light purple and it had pockets on both sides along with white lining along the bottom. Her socks were light blue and white striped thigh high socks with frills at the tops and her shoes were purple and blue with an N on them.
"Um…" I said, making the girl jump and turn around.
"Huh…Oh!" The girl stood up and quickly ran up to me."Great you're here! Histy must've called you!"
"Um…yeah?”
"Great! Come here, I need your help with this." She then began dragging me to the Tv showing the static on it.
"The Tv has been busted since last night and Nep Jr won’t be back from her trip to Lastation until tonight so she can't fix it, I was hoping that you could fix it!" She asked, clasping her hands together with a cute look.
"Alright, let me take a look". I sighed before I put on my Visualisers allowing me to see the waves around the tv and they seemed to be bad.
"Looks like you got some EM Viruses in this thing." I told her, before lifting up my Visualisers and opening up my Transer.
"Oooh, whatcha doing?" She asked, as I began scanning the tv.
"My transer's scanning the tv so I can see what kind of viruses are in there." I said, before a thought came to mind.
"Wait, why didn't you just use your own Transer on this thing" I asked, making her laugh nervously.
"I may have busted my Transer when I was fighting some Dogoo's." She explained, making me sweat drop.
"Right." When the scanning was done I was able to see what we were dealing with. "Looks like it's just some Mettaurs, nothing that bad." I said, before pulling down my Visualisers and pulling out some battle cards.
The Visualisers allowed me to see images of the Mettaurs, there were about five of them, so I activated the virus deletion program to delete them.
The Mettaurs looked like small black balls with eyes and yellow feet, they were wearing a yellow hard hat with a green cross on it and they all had pickaxe weapons which sent energy waves to mess with the tv.
I inserted an air spread card into my Transfer which transmitted into the tv damaging some of the viruses but didn't kill them. "Gonna need something stronger."
I pulled out the long sword card and inserted it into my Transer which was sent into the tv killing two of the Mettaurs.
"Woah, the TV is getting better." The girl said, as I then pulled out a wide sword card and sent it into the Tv killing two more viruses but one of them hid in its helmet.
"Alright, one more virus left." I took out a cannon card and inserted it into my Transer before it sent the cannon into the TV before shooting the virus destroying it.
The tv lit back up with a large N on the screen before changing to the console's home screen.
"Wahoo! You did it" The girl jumped up, before looking at me. "Thank you! Now I can play my new game!"
"Neptune!" I looked over and heard a familiar voice.
'That must be Histoire.' I thought, before turning around to see the girl hiding under some bean bags.
"Don't tell Histy I'm here." She whispered, shushing me before hiding into her bean bag fort, I raised an eyebrow at her as the fairy flew in.
"Ah! Ryu! You're here early." Histoire said, flying towards me as I stood up.
"Yeah, Uncle Aaron had work to do so he had to drop me here early." I explained, and she nodded before looking around.
"What's wrong?" I asked, as she looked at me.
"Well I was hoping I could introduce you to Neptune, the Goddess, since you'll be living here but it doesn't seem she's her-" suddenly the bean bags the girl was hiding under burst up as the girl stood up.
"What?!"
"Eh! Neptune!" Histoire said, as the girl ran up to her.
"What the heck Histy?! Why didn't you tell me a tv repairman was staying with us?" she said, confusing me and Histoire.
"I'm not a TV repairman."
"EH?! But you were able to fix the TV so easily." She yelled, as I scratched my cheek.
"I just know a lot about technology."
"Alright…. but then who the heck are you?" Neptune asked, turning her head
"Alright, well first this is Neptune the CPU of Planeptune, I'm sure you've heard of her, her sister is out on a quest in Lastation right now." Histoire explained, and I nodded.
"And Neptune, this is Ryu Stelar, he'll be staying with us like I told you." She introduced me, confusing Neptune.
"You did?" She asked, and Histoire sighed.
"Of course, you don't remember Neptune?" Histoire sighed, confusing Neptune.
"Remember what?" She said, which annoyed Histoire.
"Last week! I told you that Ryu will be staying with us because he has nowhere else to go!" She yelled, making Neptune jump.
"Eh! But what about his parents? He's at least 15 or something." She said, making me look down as Histoire frowned.
"Ryu is the son of Daigo and Akane Stelar…. The ones from the accident".
"Oh right, now I remember but wasn't he sent to his Relatives in Leanbox?" Neptune asked, as I frowned.
"They couldn't keep me so I had to move to Lastation... then Lowee... and now here in Planeptune." I frowned.
"Oh yeesh…I'm sorry for bringing back bad memories” Neptune apologised as I just put up a fake smile.
"It's alright…that was years ago."
"Hey Histoire, I'm gonna head to my room, where is it?" I asked, and she nodded.
"A-Alright, it's just around the corner, third door to the left." She said, and I nodded before walking off with my bags.
When I made it my room I was surprised to see how big it was. It had several posters of games hanging on the walls, a bed in the middle of it, a closet next to the door and a Tv with a game console in front of it along with a telescope looking out to Planeptune.
I smiled before putting my bags away and jumping on the bed, I then held the necklace around my neck.
'Mom…Dad…' I thought before closing my eyes to take a nap.
Space
Third Person P.O.V.
Somewhere far beyond Gamindustri, an asteroid was flying at high speeds while being accompanied by 11 dark figures. 10 of them surrounding one injured 1”
The injured figure was mostly made out of green energy with a dragon design, it had blue armour on its chest and face with green energy going down it's back that looked like hair or a mane, it also had sharp red eyes and a jawed mouth which showed more energy. It had rings on its wrist which also was made out of energy and had no legs.
"Give up Omega-Xis!" A shadowy figure that resembled a bird demanded "There's no use escaping!".
"Yeah, make it easy on yourself and return the Andromeda key!" Another dark figure that looked like an Ox ordered.
"Hah!" The now named Omega-Xis laughed. "You can have it back when I'm done with it, which is never."
"You were once a proud warrior of Planet FM! Why would you betray us?" A scorpion-like figure glared.
The scorpion's statement made Omega-Xis smirk. "Maybe it's because I'm sick of your boss."
"What was that?!" The bird yelled.
Suddenly the asteroid began to shake and quiver. The surrounding figures began to look around in shock and wonder.
"What's going on?!" The Crab looking figure yelled as the bird looked at Omega-Xis.
"Omega-Xis…..you activated the key!" The bird yelled, shocking the others.
"SEE YA SUCKERS!" Omega-Xis mocked, turning into a green stream of light and flying away.
As Omega-Xis left the asteroid flashed and broke, turning into millions of pieces. As the fugitive flew away only one thing came to his mind.
'Guess I better head to their planet' he thought, while flying away but he didn't notice that he was being followed by a dark blue stream of energy.
Planeptune Basilicom
Ryu P.O.V.
"Um, excuse me?" I heard a shy voice said as I groaned and slowly woke up only to be greeted by a girl I didn't know "Oh good you're awake".
The girl's appearance was similar to Neptune's. She has long light purple hair with a single D-pad hair clip and violet eyes and wears a white, button up sailor uniform with purple designs and a yellow ribbon being held together by the N-emblem. She wore thigh high socks with pink and white stripes and medium sized boots that match her uniform in colour scheme.
"Who are you?" I asked, sitting up.
"Oh um, I'm Nepgear, Neptune's little sister and the CPU candidate of Planeptune." She explained, and I nodded.
"Alright, so why did you wake me up?" I asked, while stretching.
"Oh Histoire asked me to wake you up to tell you that dinner is ready." She explained shyly, and I nodded standing up before following her to the kitchen.
When we came into the kitchen I saw two people I didn't know, one of them was sitting down on the table with Neptune waiting while Neptune was banging on the table for food while the other girl I didn't know cooked it.
The girl that was cooking had long light pink hair with matching pink eyes. She was wearing a tan-white wool sweater top with matching arm warmers and boots, but with fuzzy balls at the top. She also wears a red plaid skirt, a black choker with a small heart on it, black-brown knee-socks with light pink heart cut frills, and often carries a black hip purse, and heart shaped buttons.
The other girl had long brown hair with a ponytail tied by a green bow and she had green eyes. She was wearing black and white shirt and shorts with an overly sized blue coat, like literally it was the size of well her and it had orange lighting marks on the arms, and she had several pockets with different coloured phones like magenta, green and blue.
"Ah good you're up." The pink haired girl smiled at me as me and Nepgear sat down.
"Um hi, I'm Ryu Stelar nice to meet you." I politely said before bowing.
"Oh I'm Compa and this is Iffy we're good friend of Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge." She said, confusing me.
"Sorry about that, those are just nicknames I'm IF." IF said, and I nodded.
"So Ryu, what did you think of your room?" Neptune asked, who was still waiting for her food as I nodded.
"I liked it..."
"So Ryu, Histoire told us you'll be staying with Nep and Gear right?" IF asked, and I nodded.
"Yeah…"
There was an awkward silence around the kitchen as they asked me questions and I answered them the best that I can.
After a while Compa had finished the dinner, I was surprised that she had made my favourite food which was tempura. "How did you…" I asked, as she smiled.
"Oh Histoire told us that you were staying earlier so I decided to make your favourite food to welcome you." She explained. and I nodded.
"Oh thanks, Ms Compa." I said, politely making her smile.
"Oh just call me Compa."
We them began eating our dinner, with Neptune, Nepgear, IF and Compa talking about what they did today while I just kept to myself.
As I was eating I remembered a spot I use to go with my parents to star gaze 'Guess I'll go visit it after I'm done' I thought. while eating.
"Oh hey Ryu, I was wondering what's up with your glasses?" she asked, pointing to my Visualizer.
"Oh my Visualizer? It's a device my dad made that allows the wearer to look at the EM waves." I explained, as Nepgear looked at me with stars in her eyes.
"Really! Can I try it on?" She asked, and I nodded.
"Oh uh sure." I said, handing her my Visualizers as she put it on.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Nepgear said, looking around the room as the waves moved around.
"Hey! Nep Jr let me have a go!" Neptune asked, standing up and taking the glasses from her sister to put it on.
"Woah! Weird!" Neptune said, looking around before reaching for a wave as it passed through her hand. "Hahaha, it's so weird."
"Woah!" Neptune said, tripping and falling on the ground as the Visualizers fell off and about to fall on to the ground and crack, but I quickly caught it.
"Oh sorry Ryu." Neptune said, as I stood up.
"….It's alright" I murmured, standing up before turning around. "I'm... just going to go out for a bit."
Making my way to the elevator, I saw them getting up about to follow me, but I pressed the button making the doors close before they could walk inside.
As it moved down the elevator moved down I looked at my Visualizer and sighed seeing that there was no damage to it.
I sighed and looked out the window to a certain park. "Guess I'll go there."
Space
Third Person P.O.V.
Meanwhile out in space, two waves of energy were battling. One was a green stream of energy and the other was dark blue, flew around in a battle of supremacy, the blue energy slowed down and formed into an energy swan. "Found you again Omega-Xis!" The swan boasted.
The green energy formed into Omega-Xis who growled at the swan. "Cygnus, Persistent as always."
"You must think you're pretty clever, using the key's power to destroy that slab of rock as a distraction to get away, but we're too old for tricks like that!" Cygnus said.
"That's too bad." Omega-Xis chuckled. "I thought I could be by myself a little more, but it looks like I should be giving you dumbasses some credit."
"Enough talk! Give me the andromeda key!" Cygnus yelled.
"Not gonna happen!" Omega-Xis spat, before turning into energy and speeding off. "You'll never get it for as long as I live!"
"That can be arranged, traitor!" Cygnus said, before turning into energy and chasing Omega-Xis as the two Aliens began fighting each other for the Andromeda key.
Ristar Park
Third Person P.O.V.
Ryu sighed lying down in front of a riverbank before looking up at the stars, he remembered that his parents use to bring him here to go stargazing.
Even if he hadn't been here in years he still felt in peace while lying on the clean grass while feeling the cool breeze and the scent of water and flowers.
He looked up and smiled at the different constellations in the sky. "Mom... Dad... Leo is so bright out Draco, Aquila and Pegasus is as well." He said, looking up at the stars in the sky.
Ryu looked down and thought about everything that happened today. "I should apologize to Neptune and the others for leaving like that, they must be worried." He said, before looking back up. "I'll do it when I get back".
Ryu sighed and put his Visualizers over his eyes to watch the EM waves dance across the night sky "I never get tired of watching this" he mused out loud.
He then blinked in confusion when he saw something else that caught his eyes. He sat back up and took off his Visualizers to rub his eyes before putting them back on.
What he was seeing was no trick. In the night sky amongst the EM waves were two more streaks flying against each other as if they were fighting.
"What kind of EM waves are those?" Ryu muttered.
Space
Third Person P.O.V.
"Gah!" Omega-Xis yelled, being pushed back by Cygnus before reforming.
"This is the end! Omega-Xis! There's nowhere left to run" Cygnus boasted, as Omega-Xis moved back up.
'Damn it, I'm going nowhere with this.' Omega-Xis thought while holding his arm. 'Guess I'll have to put an end to this.' He thought.
Omega-Xis curled up into a ball and began glowing brighter and brighter before turning into a miniature supernova.
Cygnus seemed to be aware of what was happening and charged forward, glowing in a blue light. Both aliens rammed into each other causing a huge explosion blinding everything near them.
"Hrrg!" Cygnus roaredL as the light overtook him.
"Arrg!" Omega-Xis yelled, as the gravity of Gamindustri forced him towards the planet.
Back on the Planet, Ryu gasped as he saw one of the green lights began to grow. To him it was growing bigger and bigger and soon the glow started to Shine on his body.
Ryu then realised he was in the lights line of fire.
"Oh crap!" Ryu yelled, just before the light hit him causing a large explosion of light.
But in the light the outline of a blue warrior with spiky hair, a red visor and Omega-Xis's head on his left arm was shown before flashing away.
Chapter 2: EM Wave Change!

Planeptune Basilicom
Third Person P.O.V.
"YOU LET HIM LEAVE THE BASILICOM ALONE! AT NIGHT!" Histoire yelled, angrily because Neptune and the others let Ryu leave by himself.
"B-But Histy, we were going to follow him but the elevator closed before we could" Neptune defended, but Histoire wouldn't have any of it.
"So then why didn't you just transform and fly down?" She asked, making the four begin to sweat rapidly
"Uuuh.” Neptune frowned, trying to think of an answer Histoire sighed, calming down.
"Just go and look for him before he gets in danger" Histoire commanded, but Neptune just shrugged.
"Oh come on Histy, he's fifteen, what can possibly happen to him out there" Neptune shrugged, much to Histoires annoyance.
“I thought you would be more worried about him, considering you were so close with his parents” Histoire pointed out, making Neptune freeze up.
“Wait…are you saying his folks are Daigo and Akane?” Neptune asked, confusing Histoire.
“Of course, did I forget to mention tha- AH!”
Flash!
Suddenly outside there was a bright light shining from Ristar Park before going away.
"What was that?" Nepgear asked, as they all looked at the park.
"I have a bad feeling about that" IF frowned as Compa looked at the others.
"Do you think there’s trouble?" She asked as Histoire looked at the CPU.
"Neptune, I want you to go and check that out," she said, while Neptune nodded.
"Sure thing Histy!" She smiled, giving the oracle a salute while Nepgear looked at her sister as she was about to leave.
"I wish I could go…" Nepgear frowned, prompting Neptune to pat her back
"Don't worry Nep jr! You'll be able to transform someday" she smirked, before running to the elevator and going to the roof.
"Alright! Hdd Activate!" She declade as her body began shining before transforming into her goddess form, Purple Heart.
Purple Heart has long purple hair in twin tails that almost reaches her feet and bright blue eyes with white pupils in the shape of power signs. She wears black hair clips with glowing blue D-Pad shapes on them, and a black body suit that exposes her chest somewhat. Both of the bodysuit's shoulder areas contain a white outlined D-pad symbol and the arm areas contain purple along the sides while the front of the bodysuit also contains purple areas near the bottom. On the breast areas you can see a single purple strip. Purple Heart's leg-wear seems as though it is the same as her human forms only it appears as black boots with purple tips instead.
"I'll have to get there quickly" Purple Heart said with her more mature voice.
Extending the mechanical wings behind her, the purple Goddess took flight.
When she finally arrived at the park, she was surprised to find the Satellite Police already there holding heavy backpacks with scanner devices that delivered information to the helmets they were wearing.
“What’s going on here?” Purple Heart asked, she flew down to what she assumed was the chief.
He was a middle aged man with black hair and big bushy eyebrows in a dark brown trench coat over a white shirt with a red tie, brown pants and shoes, he had red earphones and a strange siren device on his head and on his arm was a black Transer with Lastation symbol on it.
The old man looked up and saluted the goddess and she nodded allowing him to move his hand down.
"Good evening Lady Purple Heart, I am Detective Goyoda of the Satellite Police. We detected a powerful flow of EM waves in this area and we came here to investigate".
"Did you find anything?" She asked, with a raised eyebrow and the man nodded.
"Yes, we found a young man passed out on the river bank with a blue Transer, after we scanned his Transer to see if we can contact his parents" he explained, making Purple Hearts eyes widen.
"Ryu!" She gasped, surprising Goyoda.
"You know him?" He asked, and the goddess nodded.
"Yes, we recently took him in because his parents were old friends of mine…before they disappeared.” She explained, looking a bit down cast.
"My condolences, I hope you don't mind if we ask him a few questions?" Goyoda asked and Purple Heart shook her head.
"No it's fine, ask away" she said, before following them to the police station.
Dreamscape
Ryu P.O.V.
"Ugh, my head" I groaned, slowly opening my eyes before looking around to see that I was in some kind of space completely made of vivid colours.
"Where am I?" I muttered, looking around the strange place.
I looked around for a while until my eyes landed on a strange dragon looking monster.
"What….is….that" I mumbled, before it began shaking.
'Oh no! Is it going to eat me' I thought, trying to swim away but then I heard it groaning in pain.
I turned around and my eyes widened when I saw it gripping its chest armor in pain 'Is it hurt?'.
"…Hey, what happened to you? Are you hurt? Is there anything I can do" I asked.
I know I was being stupid wanting to help him but doing anything now is better than wandering endlessly in this void, after a few moments it finally turned its red eyes at me as I froze.
"Hm?" It grunted, seeming to analyse me "Those EM wave frequencies?"
I was surprised when I heard its voice, it sounded like a machine but also had a deep voice.
"Huh?" I asked, with a raised eyebrow "Did you say something?"
"Nothing" It said, before turning to me "It's just a scratch it'll heal on its own.”
"Thank goodness so we can understand each other, good at least we're getting somewhere" I sighed, before looking at him.
"Well my name is Ryu Stelar, do you have a name or anything to call you?" I introduced myself, as he looked at me.
"The name's Omega-Xis" he introduced himself ,as I raised an eyebrow.
"Omega-Xis? That's a strange name" I asked, as he laughed.
"Ain't surprising, it's a normal name on Planet FM but it'd probably be strange on this planet" he grinned, confusing me.
"This planet? FM?" I mumbled, before my eyes widened "Wait! Are you an alien!".
His mouth turned to a smirk as he looked "What gave it away?".
I was about to say something but before I could, hushed me while looking up "What's wrong?"
"Somebody's here" He then turned into a mass of green energy and disappeared.
"Omega-Xis?!" I yelled, as the void around me began cracking away before I started falling endlessly.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" I screamed, waving my arms to stop falling to no use but suddenly a green flash shined in front of me blinding me.
Planeptune Basilicom
Third Person P.O.V.
After an hour and half of interrogation Detective Goyoda had finally allowed Neptune to take Ryu back to the Basilicom, even offering them a car ride back.
Even after Ryu had woken up he looked pale with dulled and spaced out eyes. He would only speak in short sentences and continued looking down at the ground.
As they left the car Goyoda looked at the boy "Are you sure nothing happened out there?" Goyoda asked.
"No sir…I was just stargazing" Ryu answered while shaking his head, making Goyoda sigh.
"Alright then" he said, before turning to Neptune "Keep an eye out on this kid, he may remember something soon."
"Sure thing! Officer" She said, before the two walked inside.
They took the elevator to the top floor and as they walked inside Nepgear and Histoire walked up to them with IF and Compa had already left.
"Ryu! Where were you?" Histoire asked, but Ryu stayed silent worrying her and Nepgear.
"Is he alright?" Nepgear asked, turning to Neptune who shook her head.
"Nope, the police found him unconscious on the riverbank so they took him in for questioning but it looks like he's too tired to answer right now" she explained, looking at the boy who remained quiet but nodded.
"Well maybe you should get some rest" Histoire said and once again just he nodded before slowly walking off.
“Anyway Neptune, do you know what that light was?” Histoire asked, causing Ryu to stop as flashes of what happened came to him.
"The light…"
"What was that?" Histoire asked, as he gripped to his head in pain “AH! Are you okay!”
"That's right!” Ryu gasped, turing to the girls “I saw these crazy lights that looked like they were fighting each other and then one of them crashed onto me!"
"Crazy lights?" Nepgear asked finding it interesting while Neptune snickered
"That sounds like something from an RPG dude" she laughed, making him frown.
"I did though!" he exclaimed, trying to think back to more."And I met an alien…Omega-Xis!"
"Wow you must've had a crazy dream" Neptune said, rubbing her head as the girls looked at him with worried expressions.
"But it wasn't a dream! I did meet Omega-Xis!”
"Maybe you should go to bed, you've had a long day let alone being brought to the Satellite police" Histoire suggested, surprising Ryu.
"The Satellite police?" He mumbled, looking down 'When did I go to the Satellite Police?'
"Now come on buddy, head to bed don't forget you have your first day at your new school tomorrow" Neptune told him, pushing Ryu towards his room.
"A-Alright" Ryu nodded as he made his way towards his room before he sighed and landed on his bed face first and sighed.
"Man this is weird" he mumbled, turning around trying to think back to earlier in the night. "I don't even remember going to the Satellite Police? Maybe the alien wiped my memory or something…oh god did he probe me?!”
"Hey don’t rope me in with those probing weirdo’s!" Ryu heard, before shooting up and looking around.
"Who said that! Where are you?!" He yelled, desperately looking around.
"I already told you my name didn’t I?”
Ryu's eyes widened as he looked up "Omega-xis! Where are you?"
"Put on your Visualizer" He said, confusing Ryu was he moved the glasses over his eyes allowing him to see Omega-Xis in front of him.
"Woah!" Ryu fell back and crawled backwards to the foot of the bed.
"Don't get so close!" He yelled, as Omega-Xis sighed.
"Man your, a noisy one don’t be so noisy or those two purple girls and that mini girl will hear us" he scoffed, fiddling with his ear.
"So it wasn't a dream…but where did you go! You just disappeared" Ryu asked, as Omega-Xis pointed to his arm.
"I was in your thing-a-majig" He explained, as Ryu looked at his arm.
"My Transer?" He asked, and Omega-xis nodded.
"Yeah, I hid inside of it" he explained. "I sensed those pesky terrains so I hid inside of it so I wouldn't cause a panic.”
"I think I'll need to hide out here for awhile longer" Omega-xis said, as Ryu sat back up.
"Hm...Alright" Ryu nodded, before Omega-xis pointed to him.
"By the way, could ya keep my existence a secret it'll just cause too much trouble" he asked, confusing Ryu but he nodded anyway.
"I mean you haven't said anything like 'take me to your leader' or something like that so guess it’s already" he said, and Omega-xis's only response was to phase through the window into the balcony.
"Hey, Omega-Xis!" Ryu called running up to the window but he hit his head against it.
"Oh right, he's an alien" he said before opening the window to the balcony "Hey Omega-Xis!...wow".
With the Visualizers still on Ryu could see the channels of energy throughout the night sky.
"Terrains can't see this normally, this is the EM wave world where FM-ians like me exist" Omega-Xis explained, as he looked at the night sky with Ryu.
"Wow, the patterns of the EM waves are so clear! They’re like roads made of energy… your energy frequency as a FM-ian must've boosted my Visualizers capabilities.My parents would've loved this!” Ryu smiled, looking at the Wave Road while Omega-xis glanced at him.
“Your parents?”
“Yeah, they were on a mission to communicate with alien species.”
"I knew it" he said, as Ryu looked at him confused. "You're the kid of Daigo and Akane Stelar.”
"You knew my parents?!" He gasped, as his eyes widened.
"I did know them, I could tell from your Visualizers and the fact that you have the same Frequency as them".
"Omega-Xis I have to know," Ryu pleaded to the alien. "Are my parents alive? What happened to them? Did Elysium really explode? Where are they? I need to know!".
Omega-Xis observed the young boy, he was told that Ryu had the tendency to not give up on a subject till he's satisfied.
The information hailed true as he saw the intensity in Ryu's eyes. So he decided to give as little information he could to the boy.
"I know that your parents were working on the ship Elysium, I came into contact with them and we had a few talks" Omega-xis replied.
"They told me about your planet, the Visualizers and you. But that's all I can remember…it was a while ago after all" he closed his eyes in sympathy.
"I see" Ryu smiled, looking at the alien. "At least I know Mom and Dad could still be alive"
"No problem kid" Omega-Xis smirked, wrapping his arm around Ryu much to his surprise "Stick with me and I'm sure you'll be able to find them.”
"Y-Yeah, thanks" Ryu muttered, about to ask more about his parents but Omega-Xis suddenly began quivering in pain.
"Are you okay?" Ryu asked, as Omega-xis clutched his chest in pain.
"Che, my chest still hurts" he scoffed, before turning into energy and going into the Transer "I still need some rest."
Ryu looked up at the waves of energy through the night sky and sighed "I've really gotten myself in some trouble, huh?".
The next morning
Planeptune High School
Third Person P.O.V.
Ryu walked down the streets of Planeptune and in front of him was a large white school with the Planeptunes symbol on it.
He was wearing the school uniform, it was mostly black except for the shoulders which was white and underneath was a white shirt, he had black trousers and white shoes and he was wearing his star necklace and Visualizers.
"So this is the human world" Omega-xis mused, from Ryu's Transer as Ryu looked at the alien "How's your injuries?".
"Much better after a good night's rest" he stated, rolling his arms "But forget about that, keep an eye out for others from Planet FM.”
"The FM aliens... like the other light you were fighting last night?"
"Yeah there are other FM-Ian's as well, about ten of them" Omega-Xis explained "Their mission is to destroy your planet".
"DESTROY GAMINDUSTRI!" Ryu gasped, as all of the students looked at him making Ryu blush before hurrying along while whispering to Omega-Xis "But why? What did we do?"
"The people of FM are war hungry warriors, heck a few years after I was born they destroyed their sister planet AM" he explained, before continuing on "They also created the EM Viruses that you're people deal with every day".
"Are the EM Viruses alien as well?" Ryu asked, and Omega-Xis nodded.
"And now they are aware of Gamindustri so the Viruses attack will increase steadily" he explained.
"Well it's kinda cool to know we're so popular in the universe" Ryu joked, while scratching his cheek "But you betrayed them right? So why are you here.”
"That's a good question, I'll get back to you on that" he said, before looking around "By the way, where are we going?"
"I'm heading for my first day at my new school," he explained, making Omega-Xis raise an eyebrow.
"School? What the heck's a School?" He asked, making Ryu laugh, that an intelligent alien doesn't know what School is.
"What's so funny?" Omega-Xis asked, as Ryu smiled.
"Nothing, a school is basically where kids around my age can go and learn things for their future and right now it's my first day of going to this school".
"Tch, sounds boring" Omega-xis scoffed, as Ryu sweat dropped.
"Well it's better than staying at home all day, plus you can use this time to learn about Gamindustri".
"Good point… Alright then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Omega-xis yelled, dragging Ryu to the school.
"H-Hey Wait!" Ryu yelled, being pulled away.
Classroom
Ryu P.O.V.
I was waiting outside of the class for my first year in this school, and Omega-xis wasn’t exactly taking the wait well.
"God, this is so boooooorrring" he groaned, moving around a bit.
"I didn't know it would take this long for the roll call" I nodded, rubbing my head before the door opened.
"Stelar-kun could come inside," the teacher asked, and I nodded.
I walked inside as I felt everyone looking at me. I looked over at my class teacher, Mr Shepar.
He had dark skin with curly brown hair and beard, he was wearing a yellow shirt with a blue tracksuit with red lining and sandals and he was wearing a lab coat with two flasks filled with milk and coffee for some reason and he was wearing a green Transer.
"Alright, Stelar-kun, why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Alright then" I said, turning to everyone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ryu Stelar. I like technology, space and computers…" I said, before bowing. "It's nice to meet all of you".
"Good now why don't you sit next to Ms. Platz over there" he told me pointing to a girl wearing the female uniform with blonde hair tied up in twin tails wearing a white Transer.
I walked up to the seat and sat down as Luna turned to me.
"Hello there" "H-Hi"
"I'm Luna Platz soon to be Student council president" she said, proudly making me sweat drop.
Oh all right".
"Now class, can any of you tell us about the four Satellites" Mr. Shepar asked, as several of us including me and Luna raised our hands.
"Alright then, Mr Stellar, since you're new why don't you explain them to us" he asked, and I nodded standing up.
"Okay, you see many years ago after the discovery of EM waves the four goddesses decided to work together to make satellites to control the EM waves in each nation".
"Each satellite was designed by the goddesses Pegasus represents Lowee, Dragon represents Leanbox, Leo represents Lastation and Phoenix represents Planeptune".
"The success of these Satellites has led to talks of a peace treaty between the four nations" I explained. before sitting down.
"Very Good Ryu" He said, before he continued to talk as we all listened but I didn't notice that Luna was looking at me with an intrigued look before smirking.
Planeptune Basilicom
Third Person P.O.V.
Back in the Planeptune Basilicom Neptune and Nepgear were playing a fighting game together, completely lazing off from doing any work.
"Hah! You can't beat me Nep Jr!" Neptune yelled, as she kept on punching Nepgear's character but she kept on dodging.
"I don't think so sis" She shot back, before kicking Neptune's character.
As they continued playing Histoire flew in and looked at the two annoyed.
"Why are you two still out here? Shouldn't you two be getting ready" she asked, as the two goddesses paused the game and looked over at the fairy.
"What are you talking about Histy? Getting ready for what?" Neptune asked, as a tick mark appeared on Histoires head.
"You two are visiting Lastation in two days to discuss plans for the friendship treaty remember!" she yelled, making the two jump.
"Oh goodness, I completely forgot," Nepgear said, worried.
"Don't worry Nep Jr it'll be fine, we'll just head out to buy things we need and then pack when we get back.” Neptune shrugged, leaning back.
"What could you possibly need?" Histoire asked, as Neptune smiled.
"Well snacks, new games, I need some new PJs and Nep Jr said she needed some more tools to fix my Transer" she listed off, “Plus! We can also bring Ryu with us! Give him the grand Planeptune tour you know!”
"Alright fine, just don’t take too long. You still have a lot of work to get done in here." she said. and Neptune nodded.
"Sure thing Histy! But first" Neptune grinned., before unpausing the game and attacking Nepgear characters.
"H-Hey! Wait!" The girl grabbed the controller to fight as well.
Planeptune High
Ryu P.O.V.
"Finally, that was so boring" Omega-xis yelled, as we left the school to head back to the Basilicom but then I heard some walking up to me.
"Ryu Stelar?" I turned around to see Luna Platz walking up to me with two boys behind her.
One was a huge kid with black spiky hair and wearing a hat and the school uniform along with a black Transer while the other kid was shorter with brown messy hair, glasses, the uniform and a green Transer.
"Uh Luna Platz right?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yes I'm glad you remembered, as the future student council president I thought it might be well worth my time to give you a tour of the school grounds"
"You better listen to the boss kid, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity" the bigger kid said glaring down at me.
"Oh, uh s-" I tried to say before getting a notification on my Transer.
I Said 'Hey Ryu, me and big sis are going shopping and Histoire asked us to bring you along so could you meet us at the station?'.
"What was that?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh uh sorry, that was my….sister's, they wanted me to help them with the shopping but we could do it on the weekend" I explained to which Luna nodded.
"That will suffice then, Alright you better meet with us after school, got that!" She declared before walking off with the others following.
"That was lucky, I really didn't want to go with them" Ryu sweatdropped before turning around "Well, guess I'll head to the station.”
Megalo Station
Third Person P.O.V.
"Finally we're here" Ryu muttered as he walked towards the station to meet Neptune and Nepgear.
"Hey Ryu, I was wondering something… what are your sisters like?" Omega-xis asked from the Transer making Ryu sweatdrop before looking at the screen.
"Well they're not actually my sisters, I'm staying with them for now since my relatives can't have me staying with them anymore" he explained confusing Omega-Xis "But why would you lie about that?".
"Well it's a bit complicated but the truth is that they’re the Goddesses" He said, shocking Omega-Xis.
"Eh?! They are but then why are you staying with them?"
"Well my parents were pretty good friends with their boss Histoire and I guess she felt that she had some responsibility for me" Ryu explained.
"I suppose that makes sense" Omega-Xis said scratching his cheek.
"Do you have any FM-Ian's that's close to you?" Ryu asked as he looked up.
"Well there's two, One's a girl she was a bit of a show off , always liked to get into trouble and the other was a guy, he was rookie so took him under my wing, he's a bit head strong but has honour".
"Are they one of the FM-Ian's that's after you?" Ryu asked, as Omega-xis crossed his arm.
"Yeah both of them, and they're rather strong despite the way they act. We'll need to be careful of them".
Ryu wanted to know more about the Aliens he may be facing in the future, not only that but if he should tell Neptune and the others about the FM-ians.
He wasn’t too keen on fighting them but he would've had no other choice.
"Hey Omega-Xi- whoa!" Suddenly Ryu felt shaking as he looked up to see smoke coming from the Monorail.
“What in the world? What was that” Ryu questioned, as he ran ahead to check out what was going on and was surprised to see Neptune in her Goddess form keeping the train up as it fell off its tracks.
"Neptune? Was there a malfunction in the Train’s systems…” Ryu asked, putting on his Visualizers looking up to see the Viruses on the wave road. "No, it's EM Viruses."
"Oh man, I gotta call the Satellite Police" he gulped, before hearing a scream making his eyes widen.
“That voice” He realised, as he looked over at the train and sawthat Nepgear was holding on to the train for dear life trying not to fall and Luna and her group were trying to help her.
"Just a little bit more bud!" Luna yelled, as the now named Bud tried reaching for the CPU candidate "I can't reach her".
"Nepgear's going to fall! There's no time to call the Satellite Police!" Ryu yelled, as Omega-xis looked at him "Are you going to help her?".
"I don't know…" Ryu whispered, feeling helpless as he stepped back
“What was that?”
"I SAID I DON'T KNOW!" He yelled, as he heard Nepgear's screams go through his head "Omega-xis, can't you use your powers to save her!".
"Unfortunately, my body isn't made out of matter, I can't even shake hands with your species much less save them" Omega-xis stated before looking at Ryu "Besides, even if I could, what's to say she won't attack me out of fear? Heck what’s even the point?”
“What do you mean?” Ryu questioned.
“They get themselves into this situation, why push yourself to help people you don’t even know” Omega-xis asked, as Ryu gripped his hand “I mean you didn’t seem to care for them before, so why bother.”
Ryu looked up to see the scared faces coming from Luna, Bud, Zack and even Nepgear.
"Well we have to do something!" He yelled, before running and climbing up to the tracks where the Viruses were.
Meanwhile the Satellite police were driving towards the incident with Detective Goyoda driving in front,
"Hurry! It's a onslaught of these EM buggers" he said, looking at his Transer "We don't want there to be any more collateral".
'Damn it! I can't keep this up much longer' Purple Heart thought, as she tried to keep the train held up.
She was on the train to meet with Ryu but then it suddenly began to malfunction and fell.
'I have to keep this train held up, but who's gonna help Nepgear' she thought before looking over at a nearby building to see Ryu climbing up the side of the building.
'Is that Ryu? Not it couldn't be he should be at the station must be my Imagination'.
Meanwhile Ryu had just climbed to the top of the tracks and put on his Visualizers to see many Viruses messing with the tracks systems, they were mostly Mettaurs and Billy Aces
"What an infestation" he gulped before taking out some cards "But still, not so bad"
Choosing the card with a picture of a sword on it, Ryu inserted the card into the Transer which sliced some of the Mettaurs in half.
Suddenly more Mettaurs came flooding in, surprising Ryu.
“There's more!" He said taking out more cards and inserting them to delete the viruses.
He then froze as the Viruses turned their attention towards him making the young man gulp.
"Oh no" he said, running away as the Viruses began chasing after him, causing him to slip and fall but before they could attack him.
"BEAST CLAW!" Omega-Xis yelled, suddenly appearing from Ryu's Transer and slashed back the Viruses' attacks, sending the attacks back destroying the Viruses.
Omega-Xis scoffed turned over to Ryu who was getting back up"I guess it can't be helped"
"What?" Ryu asked with a raised eyebrow "I'll lend you my power but to that we need to perform an Electromagnetic Wave Change.”
"Electromagnetic Wave Change?" Ryu asked as Omega-Xis turned into energy.
"You heard me!" He yelled before the energy engulfed Ryu, making his body shine with energy before a green energy tornado surrounded him.
" EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" Ryu yelled inside the energy tornado.
Omega-xis appeared behind him and roared before engulfing his body making the two fuse together in a burst of green energy.
As the energy dispersed we got to have a good look at Ryu's new form, he was wearing some kind of body suit with yellow lines traveling down the sides. His legs were covered by blue greave like boots and his right arm wore a gauntlet. His chest was covered by a blue body armor as well as his shoulders. In place of his left was Omega-Xis's head with green energy flowing out of it like a main. On Ryu's head his Visualizers transformed into a red visor that covered his eyes and a blue helmet that left his spiky hair free and two star shaped microphones over his ears. Parts of his armor was trimmed with silver, green highlights glowed on his boots, gauntlet and shoulder pads and there was a star shaped symbol on his chest armor. His hair also spiked upwards and changed colour from brown to black.
Ryu blinked before looking over at his new body "What in the world! What did you do to use Omega-Xis?"
"You and I have merged into one being so we can fight against these viruses in the EM wave world, you are now the first EM Human" He said surprising Ryu.
"A EM Huma- Woah, Woah, Woah!" Ryu screamed as he fell through the floor but was just barely able to latch on to it.
"Calm down, you're made out of EM waves, remember? So you'll more easily pass through objects" he explained as Ryu floated back up.
"Now fight Ryu!" Omega-xis yelled as Ryu looked down at him.
"You can't just tell me to fight and expect me t- Gah!" Ryu yelled as Virus rushed towards him and as if on instinct he punched the virus away killing it.
"What the?" Ryu asked as Omega-Xis smirked.
"Now that we are fused you're body has grown stronger" he said as Ryu looked at himself.
"This…is…AMAZING!".
"Don't get cocky! Another wave is coming!" Omega-Xis yelled as Ryu looked to see a herd of Viruses materializing near him and running towards him.
Ryu aimed Omega-xis at the Viruses before blasting them with energy blasts coming from Omega-xis' mouth destroying some of them.
Ryu jumped into the air and dodged them as they tried running over him.
"You have to use a battle card" Omega-Xis said as Ryu looked at him.
"What do you mean?" He asked as Omega-Xis smirked.
"We can use your Battle cards so I can transform myself into the weapons" he said, surprising Ryu.
"How do I do that?".
"Feed them to me and I can use a predation on them" Omega-Xis explained.
"Alright then" he nodded, grabbing a card with a Gatling gun on it.
" Battle card! predation! Vulcan!" He declared, throwing the card in the air as Omega-Xis ate the card before transforming into a Gatling gun.
He fired the bullets at the viruses killing a lot of them before he felt the tracks shake and heard Nepgear screaming.
"Huh?" He looked down to see the train had fallen down more and Nepgear was holding on for dear life.
"Oh no! Nepgear, I have to help her!" He gasped, about to go and save her.
"Watch out!".
Suddenly a swordy appeared behind Ryu and slashed him in back sending him flying towards a building.
"Oh no! I'm gonna crash!" He cried bracing for Impact but instead he passed right through and stopped on a wave road "Woah!".
"Don't forget you're made out of EM waves" Omega-Xis reminded him. as Ryu scratched his cheek.
"Oh right, sorry I’m still getting used to doing this" he apologised.
"Look up!" Omega-Xis yelled as Ryu looked up to see some Billy Aces diving towards him before being sucked away.
"Huh?" Ryu blinked, before he looked behind him to see detective Goyoda and the Satellite Police sucking up the EM Viruses.
"Those cops again" Omega-Xis growled.
"Let's let them handle this, We need to save Nepgear" Ryu suggested, before they flew off to the Monorail.
"Go! Go! Go! We have to get rid of all these viruses!" Goyoda yelled before noticing something on his Transer "Those waves… their from last night!”
Meanwhile Purple Heart was still holding on to the train as Luna and the others tried to reach Nepgear.
"Just a little bit more" Bud said, reaching for her but then the train began to shake, making Nepgear lose her grip.
"AH! NO! Neptune! Save me!" She cried, as Purple Heart looked down in horror.
"Nepgear!" She yelled, not sure what to do, save her sister or the train.
“NO! Nepgear!!” Ryu gasped, as he arrived and saw this on the wave road.
"You have to change your wave frequency if you want to save her!" Omega-Xis yelled.
“Right!” Ryu nodded, leaping off the Wave Road as his body began glowing.
‘No…this can’t be it…right?’ Nepgear thought, as she felt to the ground ‘If only I could transform…I’m sorry I’m so useless.;
Nepgear slowly closed her eyes as she fell to the ground, but before she could crash a blue steak flew down.
The streak reached over and caught her before landing down, carrying her in a bridal position.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked as Nepgear slowly stopped shaking and opened her eyes to see Ryu in his armor.
"Huh?" She whispered looking at him with a mesmerised expression ‘A…new CPU?’
"You know you can let go of me now" Ryu smiled as Nepgear finally noticed the position she was in and blushed jumping off of him.
"Oh um t-thank you" she stuttered, her face completely red as she composed herself before looking at him "Um…are you a new CPU?"
"A CPU?" He muttered, looking at his armour “Guess I do like one now don’t I? But no, not really but I can see why you think that.”
"Who is that guy, Hey Zack have you seen him?" Bud asked, looking at Ryu in his armor.
"I don't know but he's definitely strange" the now named Zack said, moving his glasses back.
"He looks so cool!" Luna gushed, with stars in her eyes.
'Who is that… he looks kind of familiar?' Purple Heart thought, not realizing she lost her grip on the train with Luna and her friends on it "Oh no!".
“Huh?” Ryu, Nepgear and the rest of the crowd all looked up to see the train falling down.
"Oh no!" Ryu yelled, quickly jumping toward the train before lifting up his arms.
Everyone was shocked as he fell back down to the ground while holding up the large Train cart with only his two hands as he gently placed the train on the ground.
Ryu sighed and wiped some sweat from his forehead before opening his eyes to see Luna already right in front of him with stars in her eyes making the young man jump back. “GAH?!”
"Hello there, I'm Luna Platz, the future student council president of Planeptune High and I would like to thank you for saving me and of course the others" she said, making him sweat drop.
"Oh uh no problem.” He smiled, scratching his cheek.
"Um may I ask who you are?" Nepgear asked walking up to the two.
"Yeah, I'd like to know as well" they heard, looking back to see Purple Heart floating down to them.
“Holy crap! It’s Lady Purple Heart!” “It really is her!” Bud and Zack gulped, as they got off the Train Cart.
"Huh? What do you mean, I'm R-" "Rockman" Omega-xis coughed as Ryu looked at him.
"Huh? Rockman?” Ryu blinked looking down at Omega-xis who looked to be blushing a small bit.
"Wow, what a cool name, Rockman" Luna smiled before Goyoda ran up to them.
"Rockman Huh? So you're the one who caused these waves!" He yelled pointing to Rockman "Well you're under arrest!".
"Huh? No I didn't! I was trying to stop them" Rockman exclaimed.
“Yeah well I’m sure it’s a very interesting story, you can tell us all about it in the station” Goyoda said, about to cuff him before Omega-Xis looked up.
"Rock! Up there" He yelled, making Rockman blinked and look up to see a large EM virus on the wave road.
"An EM Virus! And a big one too! It must’ve been the one that broke the train!" Rockman gasped before jumping towards the wave road.
"Hey Wait!" Purple Heart yelled flying after him but before she could get to him he changed his frequency, disappearing from Purple Heart's view "What?! Where did he go?".
Rockman landed on the wave road and looked up to see a large knight virus holding a large Ax.
"It's huge!" Ryu gawked before dodging a slash from the virus.
Ryu grabbed a battle card with the picture of a yellow sword with a long energy blade on it before throwing it in the air as Omega-Xis consumed the card.
" Battle Card Predation! Long Sword!" He declared as the sword appeared on his hand before swing downwards at the virus pushing it back.
"Let's try another one! Battle Card Predation! Cannon!" Throwing the card in the air before Omega-Xis returned to normal and ate the card changing to a large Cannon.
"Take this!" He yelled before firing at the knight but it disappeared before the blast hit him "Where'd he go?".
"He changed frequency to escape the attack, he's on the wave road above us" Omega-Xis said as they looked up to see the Virus with a couple more smaller Viruses.
"We can beat them quickly if we use a powerful battle card" Omega-Xis suggested and Ryu took out a card with a picture of a red ball with fire behind it.
" Battle Card Predation! Giga Bomb!" He yelled as a red bomb appeared on his hand before he threw it towards the wave road causing a large explosion deleting all of the Viruses.
"Did we do it?" Rockman asked, looking at the flames.
"Yeah, not bad kid and just in time too" he said, confusing Rockman.
"What are you talking about?".
"I've just about run out of energy to hold this form" he explained before the two were surrounded by a green tornado before disappearing.
Ryu appeared on the streets before falling back "Ow could have given me a warning back there.”
“You would have just been distracted if you did know” Omega-xis pointed out, making Ryu frown.
“I mean…fair, but still that was awesome!" He smiled looking at himself.
"Hey Ryu!" He heard as he turned around to see Neptune and Nepgear running towards him.
"Oh there you two are, sorry I took so long things started going crazy so I had to walk" he lied trying to keep his identity a secret.
"Hey Ryu did you see that? The train suddenly broke off so I had to catch it but then Nepgear fell and was about to go splat but a blue CPU looking guy saved her and than flew off" Neptune said quickly.
"O-Oh r-really" Ryu sweatdropped.
"Yeah it was terrifying but then Rockman saved me, I really wanna know more about him" Nepgear smiled, making Ryu smile back.
"Well, hopefully you'll meet him again.”
"Yeah and maybe you can meet him too! He does have the weird hair as you" Neptune joked, annoying Ryu.
"What's that meant to mean!" Ryu yelled before chasing Neptune as Nepgear followed.
Ristar park
Ryu P.O.V.
After I finished shopping with Neptune and Nepgear I left them to head to Ristar Park, apparently they were getting ready for a trip to Lastation in a few days.
"Today was crazy" I laughed while looking out at the stars "Yeah well trust me kid, it's only going to get more crazy".
"Yeah by the way thanks for helping me save Nepgear and the others" I smiled, making him smirk "No problem after all you did most of the work, Rockman".
"By the way, I was wondering where did you get the name Rockman from anyway?" I asked as he looked up.
This caused Omega-xis to frown abit as he crossed his arms “Named it after someone I used to know, War-Rock…thought it’d be a good tribute.”
"Oh that actually makes it sound kind of cool" I nodded before looking up.
"Yeah so you better get ready for the upcoming fight, Rockman" he smirked as I looked at the moon and smiled.
Chapter 3: The Bird of Lastation
Chapter Text
Planeptune
Ryu P.O.V.
"Ryu, are you almost done? I'm tired of being cramped in this thing" Omega-xis groaned, as I continued working on my homework.
"Be patient, I'm almost done" I told him as I continued working on my homework.
It had been a few days since I first met Omega-Xis and we became Rockman for the first time, ever since then he’s been training me so that we’re ready for when the other FM-Ians arrive.
"Don't forget we have to start today's training, you can't just win every battle with luck" Omega-Xis said, making me sweat.
"What's that meant to mean…".
Suddenly the door slammed open as we looked up to see Neptune frantically looking around "Where is it! Where is it!".
"Uh, Lady Neptune? What's wrong?" I asked, with a raised eyebrow
"My headphones, I can't find them! I wanted to wear them for the ride to Lastation" she pouted, making us sweatdrop.
"Can't you just fly to Lastation in your Goddess form?" I asked, as she shook her head.
"Nah, that always leaves me pooped and Histy said I should be in tip top form for tomorrow plus I'd have to carry Nepgear and the luggage".
"Right, well I think I saw them in Nepgear's lab" I explained, and she nodded.
"Oh right duh, thanks buddy" she said, running off closing the door behind her.
"She really is quite strange" Omega-xis said, making me laugh.
"Yeah, well that's a goddess for you" I said, making Omega-Xis scoff.
"Hopefully the other Goddesses won't be like that".
"Anyway, I'm just about done here so let's go" I said, making Omega-xis nod.
"Good it was getting boring in here, I was almost going to go wild".
"Hopefully you don't mean that literally" I joked, before closing up my books and leaving the room.
"I'm heading out" I said, walking to the elevator as Histoire turned to me.
"Alright, just be back before it gets dark"
"Alright" I responded before walking into the elevator.
"Why are you taking this device? We can just transform and leave" Omega-xis asked, looking at the Elevator making me smile.
"Well we needed an alibi didn’t we?" "Fair point".
"Anyway, let's transform" he said, as I gripped my Transer making it shine brightly before lifting my hand into the air.
" EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" I yelled, as Omega-xis appeared behind me and engulfed me turning me into Rockman before we entered the wave world.
When I opened my eyes I found that I was in the Rockman armor and we were on the wave road, right above the Planeptune Basilicom.
"Ryu, how do you feel?" He asked, as I looked at him "it feels kinda strange, like my entire body is the static on a tv".
"Not surprising" he said, before turning to me "Anyway, let's start our training" he said, and I nodded.
"What will we be doing?" I asked, looking at him.
"Nothing special, we need to get your body used to the EM world" he explained, making me raise an eyebrow
"How?" I asked, as he smirked
"Like this" "Woah!".
Suddenly Omega-xis began dragging me as we were rocketing through the sky at incredible speeds.
"This is amazing!" I yelled, looking at the city of Planeptune "Is this what Neptune and the other goddesses feel like when they fly?".
"You're an ElectroMagnet Human, remember? So we can travel even faster then them, heck traveling the world will only take seconds for us"
"Amazing".
As we were flying I suddenly realized that we were about to ram into a train.
"Oh crap!" I yelled. closing my eyes bracing for impact but I didn't feel anything "Huh?".
I opened my eyes and looked around, I was surprised to see we were passing right through the train "Wow!"
"How many times do I have to remind you? You're made of energy now so we can pass through things like building easily unless you change your frequency" he explained, making me smile.
"Oh yeah, I kinda forgot".
"This is gonna be a harder training session than I thought" Omega-xis sighed, making me frown.
"OI!, you don't have to be harsh" I yelled, before continuing to rocket through the sky.
Meanwhile on the ground
Third Person P.O.V.
Meanwhile on the Luna, Bud and Zack were walking through the streets of Planeptune with Luna having stars in her eyes.
"Where do you think he is now?" She sighed, thinking about Rockman.
"Geez, you're still talking about him?" Bud asked, as they walked behind the daydreaming girl.
"She's been talking about him ever since Friday's incident" Zack sighed, as Luna spun around.
"Oh Rockman, Where arth thou Rockman~" she sung, making the two boys sweat drop .
"Geez" Bud said as Zack put up a finger "Actually those lines actually mean why are you Rockman, which doesn't really work in this contex-" "NERD!"
Suddenly they heard footsteps as they turned around to see detective Goyoda running through the streets after something.
"I would know these waves from a mile away" he yelled looking into his Transer.
"GET BACK HERE ROCKMAN! YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM ME!" He yelled, running at fast speeds.
"Ah! Rockman's close by! Bud! Zack let's go" Luna yelled, running off with the other two following.
A couple hours later
Third Person P.O.V.
"Alright that's enough" Omega-xis said, as they stopped on top of a radio tower"We've been moving around fighting off Viruses all day so I say we've done enough training".
"Yeah, I'm tired" Ryu sighed, before he started stretching feeling his bones cracking.
"I'm gonna make a quick stop before we head back" he said, and Omega-Xis nodded before they rocketed off and after a while they had left the borders of Planeptune.
"Where are we going?" Omega-Xis asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh I just wanted to see my Uncle Aaron, he's a researcher in Amaken which is a space research institute in Lastation" Ryu explained, making Omega-Xis nod.
"So we'll be going to another nation? Interesting" he snickered, making Ryu sweatdrop before reaching the building
"So this is Amaken," Omega-xis said, looking around.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool isn't it" Ryu smiled, but Omega-xis noticed something "Who's that guy?".
Looking down they saw a man slowly leaving his lab while holding on to a briefcase close to him.
'Looks like no one's here' he whispered, before walking off.
"Oh hey Tom, are you heading off early?" Aaron asked, walking up to him with another worker next to him making the man jump in fright.
The man was Tom Dubias, he had brown shaggy hair covering one eye, he and brown eyes with bags under them and he was wearing the Amaken jacket over a green shirt and blue trousers and he had a green Transer on his arm.
"Oh? Hey did you get it done?" Aaron asked. making the mans eyes widen before moving the briefcase close to him.
"N-N-N-No! I'm not even close to done! In fact this has nothing to do with it!" He yelled. before running off.
"Hey! What's with him, who does he think gave him this job" the scientist yelled, but Aaron put his hand on the scientist's shoulder.
"Leave him be, he's had a really tough time in his last research job".
"What do you mean?" The man asked, as Aaron frowned.
"Tom had this brilliant idea once but his superior took his idea without telling him and revealed the idea at the Lastation tech expo without giving Tom any of the credit” Aaron frowned looking at Tom driving off "But still, I thought he knew he could trust me".
Ryu, who was watching this, frowned before flying off.
"Poor Tom" He said looking down as Omega-xis scoffed.
"Humans are deceiving treacherous creatures, in my opinion they should just be wiped out of existence" he said but Ryu frowned "What's that meant to mean".
"Oh except you Ryu, you're useful to me so your worth protecting" he said, making Ryu frown.
"Geez, what a way to make me feel special" he pouted, sarcastically.
As they continued flying back Ryu looked at Omega-Xis while frowning.
"Hey Omega-Xis could you tell me what happened to my parents?".This made Omega-Xis sigh as he turned to Ryu.
"Not this again, like I said I don't know anything"Omega-Xis frowned, annoying Ryu.
"Oh come on! Like you said you were on the ship you have to know something!" He yelled, before suddenly ramming into something.
"What the?!" Ryu yelled, surprised.
"What happened there?" Omega-Xis asked, as Ryu rubbed his head.
"Sorry, must've changed to physical frequency" he said, noticing the people looking at him before changing his frequency back.
Suddenly a Mettaur appeared before him and sent a wave of energy at him as Rockman jumped over.
"Woah, that was a close one" he said as Omega-xis growled "Didn't expect to see some viruses".
Meanwhile Goyoda was running through the city tiredly.
"I…will even chase you… to the Gamindustri Graveyard….Rockman" He said tiredly before his stomach started growling "I'm starving".
Suddenly his Transer beeped as he looked inside to see Rockman's frequency fighting other frequencies.
"It's Rockman and he's fighting viruses" he gasped running to the nearby building the Viruses were at.
Rockman jumped over a hot wheel virus before Omega-Xis blasted it destroying it, he then kicked back a swordy before punching it in the face killing it as well.
" Battle Card! Predation! Sword" he yelled, throwing a card in the air before Omega-Xis ate the card transforming him into an energy sword.
Rockman turned around and slashed at the Swordy virus as their blades clashed but then Rockman tripped the Virus cutting it in half deleting it.
He then jumped up dodging the blasts of a turret virus before taking out a new card and throwing it in the air.
"Battle Card! Predation! Cannon" he yelled as Omega-Xis returned to normal before eating the card transforming into a large cannon.
Ryu turned around and aimed at the turret before firing at it, deleting the virus, when he landed on the ground he looked around to see he was surrounded by Viruses.
"This is the last wave!" Omega-Xis yelled, and Ryu nodded before he began fighting them.
Meanwhile Goyoda was inside the building staring at his Transer shocked as more and more Virus frequencies disappeared "He's fighting them off".
Eventually Ryu was able to get rid of most of the Viruses except for three hot wheels who grouped up and glared at him.
Ryu entered a fighting position ready for the Viruses but they turned around and zoomed off "Hey get back here!" He yelled chasing after them.
Ryu took out a new card and threw it in the air "Battle Card! Predation! Drill!" He yelled as Omega-Xis ate the card transforming into a large yellow drill.
"I don't know why I'm doing this but… ROKCET DRILL PUNCH!" He yelled, aiming the drill at the three Viruses before drilling through all three of them.
"Why did you say that?" Omega-Xis asked. returning to normal "Don't know, saw it in a show I watched a few weeks ago"
Omega-Xis then sighed tiredly, much to Ryu's concern.
"Are you okay?" He asked, and Omega-Xis nodded.
"Yeah, I'm just low on energy, gonna need a rest for a few moments" he explained before a green flame surrounded them as they landed on the ground below.
When Ryu opened his eyes he found himself inside a forest near a cliffside.
"Huh, guess we flew off a bit far away" Ryu blinked looking around and scratching his cheek “Good thing there are no monsters.”
"We can head back once I'm recharged, should take about 30 minutes" Omega-Xis explained, and Ryu nodded, walking over to the cliff.
"Wow! What a great view" Ryu said, looking at the sights of the cliffs.
"I have to admit your planet has some great scenery" Omega-Xis said, and Ryu nodded before noticing someone on the cliff.
"Is that…" he said looking closer at the person "Mr Dubias!?"
"What the heck is he doing all the way up there?" He asked, but then Dubias jumped off the cliff "Oh no!".
"Omega-Xis we've gotta do something!" Ryu yelled but Omega-Xis shook his head.
"I'm still out of energy, why do we have to help him anyway?" He said, much to the shock of Ryu.
Suddenly Dubias threw off his coat revealing a backpack with two mechanical wings sprouting out allowing him to fly in the air.
"HAHAHAHA! IT'S PERFECT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!" Dubias yelled gleefully "MY FIRST TEST FLIGHT HAS SUCCEEDED BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS!"
"Woah, he's flying" Ryu gawked, watching Dubias flying around in circles.
"AND BEST OF ALL IT'S MINE! ALL MINE! NO ONE WILL STEAL IT FROM ME AND I'LL NEVER LET THEM HAVE IT! NEVER!"
"The guys a looney" he deadpanned and Omega-Xis agreed "No more than the rest of your species"
Suddenly the glowing part of the wings turned off as Dubias looked left and right.
"What! I'm out of fuel already!" He yelled before he began falling towards the forestl "AAAAAHHHH!"
"Omega-Xis, He's falling" Ryu yelled before Dubias crashed.
"Actually, it looks like he's just about done falling," he joked as Ryu looked at him.
"This isn't funny! We have to help him" Ryu yelled, running to the forest "Mr Dubias! Are you alright? "
But within the wave world a shadowed figure was watching them "Hmm, that EM frequency is similar to my own"
"Ow, note to self next time bring extra fuel reserves" he groaned moving up and leaning next to a tree "I'll have to think of a way to extend the battery's".
"Hey Mr. Dubias, are you okay?" Tom heard before looking over to see Ryu walking up to him.
"Hey I know you, your Mr Boreal's nephew, Ryu right?".
"Yeah, it's lucky this tree broke your fall huh" Ryu said and Tom nodded.
"Yeah, Sure is! Lucky me-wait a minute, how is it that you just so happened to be here? I thought you were in Planeptune" Tom glaring at Ryu before gasping "You're a spy aren't you? A spy working for Planeptune that's gonna take my invention!".
"A spy? Are you kidding" Ryu asked, moving closer.
"NO! DON'T DENY IT, YOUR JUST WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO STEAL THE SKY JACKET FROM ME!" He yelled grabbing the device"YOU'LL NEVER GET IT! NEVER! I MADE IT, IT BELONGS TO M-” Growl
Before Dubias could continue his rant, the sound of stomach grumbling could be heard while Ryu blushed.
"Oh, uh sorry guess I haven't eaten in a while" he blushed awkwardly before reaching for his pocket "I think I got something with me"
Pulling out a bar of chocolate and splitting it in half, followed by him turning to Tom while handing him the chocolate.
"Want some?" He asked but Tom just looked away "Geez, you don't have to be so suspicious"
Ryu then ate his half of the chocolate and smiled "See it's good"
Tom blinked in surprise at this before looking down at the chocolate in his hand.
After this Tom walked back to his car while showing Ryu the way to the road
"Sorry about that, I just have some trouble trusting people you know" he apologised and Ryu nodded "It's alright, with something as cool as that invention anyone would be hasty about keeping it safe.”
“Hehe thanks, but are you sure you don't want me to drive you back?" Tom asked, but Ryu shook his head.
"No it's fine, besides you're going to Lastation and I'm going to Planeptune" he said and Dubias nodded before driving off.
"I don't get it" Omega-Xis muttered, confusing Ryu.
"Don't get what?" Ryu asked looking at his Transer.
"You were hungry and yet you gave half of your food to him" Omega-Xis said, as Ryu just shrugged.
"What I just shared my food with him, it's something us humans do though the goddesses don't seem to get it sometimes" Ryu explained as Omega-Xis looked down.
"Hmm that’s Strange, us FM-ians only ever looked out for ourselves".
"Huh, it doesn't seem you were a very cooperative species" Ryu muttered but Omega-Xis sighed.
"Guess you’re right about that, anyway I'm recharged so let's head back" Omega-xisand Ryu nodded before they transformed into Rockman and flew off.
Meanwhile Tom was driving down the street while holding on to his half of the chocolate "Wow, that Ryu is a nice kid".
"Be careful, don't be so sure it's the nice ones you'd want to look out for" a voice said, making Tom look down "True…nobody's that nice unless they have a reason to be".
"Of course, he was only in it for my sky jacket, I'd be a fool to eat this thing" he said before throwing the chocolate out the window.
"Wait a minute… who's voice is that!" Tom realized before a FM-ian appeared on the screen of the GPS.
"It's mine!" He yelled before the screen shined.
"AAAAHHHH!" Tom yelled crashing into the nearby mountain as he was engulfed in a bright light.
When Tom opened his eyes he found himself in some kind of colorful space "Where am I? Who are you!".
Suddenly a large swan looking FM-Ian appeared in front of him "I am Cygnus, a friend who came from Planet FM".
"A friend?" Tom gulped, clearly terrified at what was going on.
"Do not be afraid, I will remove forever the pain that is within your heart" he said, making Tom's eyes widen.
"Now, open your mind and let me in!" He yelled before turning into energy and engulfing Tom.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Tom screamed as he was forced to merge with Cygnus.
Planeptune Basilicom
Ryu P.O.V.
After a few minutes of flying we eventually landed in front of the Basilicom’s while returning to normal.
"I'll need to be careful, it's alright pretty dark" I mumbled while walking inside and taking the Elevator “Man, I’m so tired.”
"You did some good work today, you deserve some rest" Omega-Xis said and I nodded, sighing.
When the elevator dinged I slowly walked out looking around to see no one's there.
'Okay good…now just to quietly sneak back to my-”"R~~Y~~U"
“EEEP!” I yelped, slowly turning around to see Histoire on her book with a creepily calm smile on her face
"Oh uh Histoire" I gulped, shaking a bit as the Oracle moved up to me.
"Where were you? I was quite worried" she asked, crossing her arms as I stepped back.
"Um…I was at um.. Ristar Park stargazing?" I lied, as she glared at me for a bit before sighing.
"Alright, But you have to answer my calls next time" she stated as I looked at my Transer to see many calls from her.
"Oh um sorry, I fell asleep so I didn't notice" I lied again and she sighed "Alright, just get some rest, we'll be leaving tomorrow".
"Alright, then goodnight" I nodded before her sentence sunk in "Wait ... what?".
The next day
Lastation Basilicom
Third Person P.O.V.
"Here we are, the Basilicom" Neptune declared getting out of the car they took to Lastation.
"It's been awhile since I've seen Uni" Nepgear smiled as the others got off as well.
"I still don't get why I have to come," Ryu questioned, scratching the back of his head.
"Well we can't just leave you alone in the Basilicom, you'll probably be passed out in the park again" Neptune joked.
After a bit of walking they finally made it to the Basilicom and when they did Neptune rushed ahead and busted the door down.
"Heya Noire! How's it going! Still don't have any friends" Neptune yelled.
"Geez you're actually on time for once" The girl Noire said before getting a tick mark on her head "And I so too have friends!"
Noire was a pale-fair skinned girl with very long black hair about waist length, worn up in long pigtails with two-piece black and blue ribbons. Her bangs are neatly combed, framing her face and she has very noticeable red eyes. Noire wears a fancy dress consisting of dark blue, white, red, and small amounts of gold lining and buttons. The dress part covers a red with black spiked lining cloth while the breast part is white, along with the skirt which has black lining on both layers. Behind this is a blue bow, matching a smaller one worn around her neck attached to a black and white collar. In the center is a gold piece and she had a black Transer on her arm.
"And I see you brought Nepgear and Histoire with you" she noted, before noticing Ryu behind them "Hm? Who's that kid?".
"Oh yeah!" Neptune grinned, before grabbing Ryu's arm and pulling him over "This here's Ryu Stelar, he was one of the kids of the scientists on the Elysium.”
"Ah! I-It's v-very nice to m-meet you L-Lady N-Noire" Ryu stammered, before bowing respectfully making the girl smile.
"Well you’re certainly a lot more respectful then certain Godess I know” Noir said, giving a side eye to Neptnue who was looking away with whistle “It's good to meet you, I was very impressed with your parents work in Amaken.”
"So this is the guy you were telling me about, Nepgear" They heard as they looked over to see a girl that looked like Noire but younger holding some papers.
"Ah Uni good you're done, just put those on my desk" Noire told her, as Uni nodded while walking over and placing the papers on the nearby desk.
Uni has red eyes and black hair worn in two pigtails that are tied up by two black ribbons with white stripes. She wears a black one-piece pleated dress decorated with white stripes at the bottom of the pleats. She also wears matching arm warmers and shoes with knee high black socks sharing the same color scheme as her dress and she had a black Transer.
"Well, it's nice to meet you" Uni said walking up to Ryu shaking his hand with him nodding "N-Nice to meet you too".
"Noire, where are the others?" Histoire asked, catching the Raven haired goddesses attention "Oh, last time I checked they were on their way here".
"On our way? But Noire we’re already here" they heard as they looked over to the balcony to see Lady Green heart and White heart in the balcony returning to their human forms.
Lady White Heart or Blanc is a short, pale skinned girl She has sandy-brown colored hair reaching her neck and expressionless, dull blue eyes. On top of her head Blanc was wearing a big white cap with light blue ruffles and a brown and gold under and center piece. Depending on the weather and location, Blanc may change her outfit. Such as wearing an opened white jacket with powder blue markings, dark brown linings, and light colored brown fur underneath she wears a white dress with dark brown lining and markings on it. She also wears power blue sandals with a white ribbon around in her right leg resembling a bandage and she had a white Transer on her arm.
Lady Green Heart or Vert was the most mature of the group. She has long curled light blond hair with long bangs neatly framing her face. She has sad blue looking eyes, usually not fully open. Vert wears an emerald green dress with gold markings that shows off her commonly praised huge chest. Big light green and white gloves and along the top part of her skirt is a big peach bow. At the center is a gold circular piece with a small blue gem in the center and tiny red ribbon with gold in the center and she had a green Transer on her arm.
"Sorry we were late, I was in the middle of finishing my book" Blanc explained, before sighing "And don't forget about trying to keep Rom and Ram from following me, luckily their teacher came in".
"And I was invested in this new anime I found, I spent all night watching. I didn't get a wink of sleep" She said, before smiling "But I had my special tea so I'll be fine".
"Huh, these goddesses aren't like what I expected but considering what I've seen of this Neptune I probably should've expected less" Omega-Xis whispered and Ryu nodded "Yeah…".
"Hmm? And who's this!" Vert asked, as she noticed Ryu.
Blanc then turned to Neptune "Don't tell me you're hiring kids to do your work now"
"What! No way he's just a kid that we're letting stay with us since his folks died on the Elysium" Neptune yelled.
"I was kidding..." Blanc said, making Neptune jaw drop. "Woah, you can do that? I had no idea"
Blanc growled at this as she began chasing around Neptune, Vert walked up to Ryu and smiled.
"You've been through so much and yet you're still able to keep on, such a good boy" she said, rubbing Ryu's head making him blush "T-Thank you, L-Lady Vert..."
'So cute' Vert smiled.
"Can we start the meeting now" Noire called looking more annoyed, and Histoire nodded.
"Yes, let's get this meeting underway" she said, and the other goddesses nodded, walking to the meeting room leaving Ryu, Nepgear and Uni.
"What's this meeting about?" Ryu asked, turning to Nepgear with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh they're working on a friendship treaty which basically means that the different nations will help each other and not fight for shares any more".
Ryu nodded in understanding while Uni crossed her arms and turned to Ryu "So what do you wanna do? Not every day you get to hang out with two CPU Candidates"
"Oh! Actually, I was thinking of meeting Uncle Aaron at Amaken" Ryu explained, surprising the two.
"Hey, can we come!" Nepgear asked, moving up really close to Ryu with stars in her eyes "I've always wanted to got to Amaken".
"R-Really?" Ryu asked, before Uni moved up next to him to whisper into his ear.
"Nepgears crazy into technology and stuff so going somewhere where they make rockets would probably be amazing for someone like her".
"Well alright, you two wanna come?" Ryu asked, but he jumped when Nepgear grabbed his hands.
"Yes! Please!" She grinned, and Uni nodded "Yeah sure…j-just b-because I don't have anything better to do".
Meanwhile in the meeting room the Four Goddesses sat around in a conference room, Neptune eating some chips, Vert drinking some tea, Blanc reading a book and Noire looking at all of them with an annoyed expression.
"If you girls are done ‘preparing’ before we started this meeting, I wanted to show you girls something" Noire said, before showing an image of an EM frequency.
"What's so strange about a EM frequency?" Vert asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"The Satella Police contacted me and told me that he had discovered this Frequency last night and that it was fighting off the Viruses even deleting them".
"Huh? But how, only the battle cards and Satella Police can delete them" Blanc questioned.
"Even I have to admit, this is something unheard of" Histoire muttered, surprised.
"It's gotta be Rockman!" Neptune grinned, hitting her hand with a fist.
"Rockman?" The other goddesses asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"I think I've heard of this person, he's been all over social media" Histoire muttered, before putting up an image of Rockman she got from the internet "You mean him?".
"Yeah that's him! He saved Nep jr when a train cart failed and then caught the whole thing when it fell down!" Neptune explained, as the others watched a video of him doing just that.
"He looks like some kind of CPU?" Noire noted, looking at him “But there hasn’t been any new nations…and we would have certainly felt a new one forming.”
"Yeah I thought so too, but Nep jr asked him and he said he wasn't one? Plus he could do tons of stuff we can’t do.”
"Neptune, If you were there then why didn't you try to catch him!" Blanc asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey I tried to but his lion arm thingy said something was dangerous and he jumped away, I tried to catch him but he suddenly disappeared".
"I think was told about this,the Satella police said the Viruses slowly disappeared shortly after that so he must be able to somehow turn into EM waves" Noire noted, looking down.
"So basically he's uncatchable?" Vert asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"I wouldn't say that, we don't even know if he's an enemy, so if he appears again we'll have to ask him ourselves" Histoire said, and the others nodded "Now let's get this meeting under way.
Amaken
Third Person P.O.V.
"Oh hiya, Ryu" Aaron said as the three walked in side of the large building "I see you brought Lady Nepgear and Lady Uni with you".
"H-Hello, I'm Nepgear, I'm a big fan of your company's work" Nepgear bowed making the man laugh.
"Oh no it's alright" he said, making the girl nod.
"Of course you know me" Uni smirked and he nodded "Of Course it's good to meet you as well, Lady Uni".
"Now then how about a tour of this place" Aaron suggested and the three nodded following him to the museum part of the place.
"Woah! Uni! Ryu! Looks model rockets, model satellites, AH! There's even a simulator where you can fly around in space" Nepgear yelled running around.
"So this is what Nepgear's like when she's in her element" Ryu said as Uni snickered.
“Actually she’s acting pretty restrained right now. Believe me, with the amount of times she’s asked to turn the Basilicom into a giant robot for christmas you know when she’s in her element” Uni joked, before following Nepgear.
“That giant robot thing was a joke right?...Right” Ryu was about to follow them but then he noticed Tom walking by.
"Ah, Mr Dubias it's good to see you" he greeted but Tom ignored him and kept on walking to his lab.
"How do you know Tom?" Aaron asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, I saw him in the woods last night testing out this backpack that let him fly through the sky" he said, shocking Aaron.
"What, you've seen the Sky Jacket! And you say it works" he asked and Ryu nodded.
"Yeah, it worked perfectly it was awesome" Ryu said making Aaron smile "I have to check this out"
"What was that all about?" Uni asked with a raised eyebrow as they watched him leave to follow Tom.
"Guess he got excited for Mr Dubias's invention" Ryu said, scratching his head.
"GUYS! THERES A STATION WHERE YOU CAN BUILD A MINI ROCKET AND SHOOT IT OUTSIDE" Nepgear yelled giddily.
Ryu followed Nepgear excitedly while Uni sighed and followed as well.
Meanwhile in Dubias's lab, Dubias was on his computer looking through satellite's up in space .
"Hehe, humans have abandoned satellites in space for centuries now, I just need to pick the right one" he smirked.
"I have to admit, this is an impressive plan for your revenge" Cygnus said, appearing on his Transer screen.
"I couldn't have done it without you giving me the idea" he smiled before picking a satellite "This one should do".
Suddenly the door opened up, making Dubias jump.
"Ah!" He yelled before turning around to see Aaron "Oh um Mr. Boreal".
"Tom, I heard you were able to finish the Sky Jacket!" Aaron smiled, excitedly running up to Mr Dubias making Tom nod.
"Yeah, I did though the batteries don't last long".
"That's great, here is what I say you should do, show it off at the Lastation Tech Expo next month" he said, surprising Tom "What!".
"Listen, people have dreamed for years about flying through the sky like the goddesses, your invention would bring us even closer to becoming equals with them and not only that but if you go up on stage you'll finally be recognized for your work" he said with a smile.
Dubias was honestly surprised and happy about this but than I thought came to mind "How did you know I was working on the Sky jacket"
"Oh well everyone knows, you're not the best at keeping secrets, you know".
"Ah ha! So you're all in on it!" Dubias yelled, surprising Aaron "I won't let you take it! It's my invention no one can have it" He yelled as a dark aura surrounded body.
"Yes, let your heart fall into despair and take your revenge" Cygnus said from the Transer.
"I won't let anyone have my invention! ANYONE" He yelled before being engulfed in the dark aura as Aaron covered his eyes.
" EM WAVE CHANGE! TOM DUBIAS! ON AIR!" He yelled as he was in a dark space, Cygnus appeared behind his back and engulfed his body changing his form.
They had transformed into Cygnus Wing, his head was shaped like a swan with a blue face in the mouth with red eyes, his body was mostly blue with white gauntlets and his legs were black with two horizontal blue lines on the legs and on his back were large majestic white wings.
Aaron was shocked at Dubias's transformation as he fell to the ground.
"Tom…" Aaron muttered before Cygnus' wing turned into energy and rocketed upwards “NO!”
Cygnus Wing reappeared on the roof and growled.
"It’s mine! All mine! I won't let any of you take my invention!" He yelled before shooting steel feathers around the place as everyone outside moved to find cover.
"What is that thing" Uni asked, looking at it EM Human.
"I-I don't know!" Nepgear gulped worried.
"It's Cygnus, he must've combined with a human" Omega-Xis growled as Ryu looked at him.
"An Fm-Ian?" He asked, and Omega-xis nodded before Uni summoned her gun and Nepgear summoned her energy sword.
"Ryu, you go and call our sisters, we'll distract him" Nepgear said and Ryu nodded, running off.
Uni aimed her gun and shot at Cygnus Wing but he blocked it before looking down.
"Their EM frequency is strange… must be the CPU's I've heard about this could be trouble "he thought, as Tom took control.
"No, they're the CPU candidates. Not nearly as big of a threat as their sisters" CygnusWing smirked, before disappearing.
"What the! Where'd he go" Uni yelled, before suddenly Cygnus appeared in front of her and kicked her back.
"Uni!" Nepgear yelled, running towards Cygnus but he disappeared again.
"Oh no!" She thought before he appeared behind her and kicked her towards her friends.
Uni got back up and began firing at Cygnus wing but he began spinning around.
"Dancing Swan!" He yelled spinning towards them while deflecting the bulllets before knocking them even more back.
"I would've thought you'd be more impressive for the leaders of the nation"Cygnus Wing scoffed as the two candidates slowly got up "Were not the goddesses were their sisters".
"Oh well then I suppose you wouldn't survive this, Migratory Birds" he yelled, summoning three bird drones which rocketed towards the two but before they could hit them and explode.
" Battle Card Predation! Barrier" Rockman yelled, suddenly appearing in front of the two with a barrier in front of him which blocked the drones explosions.
"You two okay?" Rockman asked, turning towards the two CPU Candidates.
"Rockman…" Nepgear muttered, surprised.
"You know this guy?" Uni questioned, getting back up but Nepgear shook her head.
"Omega-Xis, you merged with a human?" Cygnus Wing growled, looking down at the three.
"Omega-Xis isn't mine name in this form, we're known as Rockman" Omega-xis stated, making Nepgear and Uni jump.
“It talks?!”
"So you even used the name of an outlaw" Cygnus wing growled.
"Well I don't care, I'm going to get back the Andromeda key no matter what!" He yelled, shooting sharp feaths trying to shatter the barrier.
"Is that Mr Dubias?" Rockman whispered to Omega-Xis.
"Yeah, Those two are quite similar, not trusting any one so they are perfect for each other, should've expected they'd meet sooner or later".
"Rockman, is there anything we can do to help" Nepgear asked getting up as Omega-xis glanced at her.
"Cygnus is a long rage fighter, so your best bet would be to attack up close before he can disappear" Omega-Xis said before turning to Uni.
"You, pig tails, Keep a long distance from him if he reappears behind us shoot him down" he said and Uni nodded.
When the barrier disappeared, Rockman pulled out a card and threw it in the air.
"Battle Card Predation! Wide Sword" he yelled as Omega-Xis ate the card transforming into a red sword before he and Nepgear ran towards the FM-Ian.
He began shooting feathers at them but they moved out of the way before they made it to Cygnus but he disappeared.
Rockman used his visor to locate Cygnus, finding that he was about to attack Nepgear.
"Look out!" He yelled shoving Nepgear down as Cygnus reappeared but when he did, Uni shot him, making him jump back.
When Cygnus did, Nepgear and Rockman turned to slash Cygnus leaving a mark on his chest.
"Damn you!" Cygnus yelled before kicking them back towards a wall, Rockman got back up and pulled out a card.
"Battle Card Predation! Plasma Gun!" He yelled, throwing the card in the air as Omega-Xis swallowed the card, transforming into a blaster that looked like a plasm gun
He shot a powerful blast at Cygnus but he flew over it and threw feathers at Rockman who grabbed Nepgear and jumped over the feathers back to Uni.
"I can see your a bit rusty Omega-Xis" Cygnus smirked which made Omega-Xis growl.
"Sorry, I think you're talking to the wrong guy" Rockman said, making Cygnus's eyes widen.
'What? Why is he letting the human stay in control'.
"I don't know what's going on and I don't care, Dancing Swan!" He yelled and started spinning but then a blur came in and smacked him to the ground.
"I'm not letting you hurt my sister or my nation anymore!".
Cygnus looked up and was surprised to see Black Heart and the other goddesses above him.
Purple Heart has long purple hair in twin tails that almost reaches her feet and bright blue eyes with white pupils in the shape of power signs. She wears black hair clips with glowing blue D-Pad shapes on them, and a black body suit that exposes her chest somewhat. Both of the bodysuit's shoulder areas contain a white outlined D-pad symbol and the arm areas contain purple along the sides while the front of the bodysuit also contains purple areas near the bottom. On the breast areas you can see a single purple strip. Purple Heart's leg-wear seems as though it is the same as her human forms only it appears as black boots with purple tips instead.
Black Heart has cyan colored eyes and her hair is pure white going down below her shoulders somewhat, with her fringe standing above her eyes and bangs caressing her face. Her suit is black and white in color and the mechanical appearance is much more visible. It also exposes a mild amount of her cleavage. Her sleeves are pure black, with silver patches in the bicep and tricep area, her gauntlets are black with silver protrusions on the knuckle.
Green Heart has purple eyes and her hair remains long and is of different shades of green. It is kept in a ponytail, her fringe is normally seen above her eyes and her bangs are thick and caress her face. Her attire is a white bodysuit that is open in the middle, exposing her stomach and underside of her breasts. Her sleeves are detached and are white and black in the entirety. Her gauntlets are longer than the other CPUs with it covering the majority of her forearms with ease.
White Heart has the appearance of a young girl with a petite and slim figure. Her eyes are a crimson red, and her skin is very fair. Her hair is a sky-blue color, it is kept mostly free, and is of short length, barring her bangs, which reach down to her stomach. Her attire consists of a tight battle-suit, which is white and has minor touches of blue lining. The top itself appears as a swimsuit-like armor. The sleeves of this are detached, and reach all the way to her shoulder, with a pair of gauntlets being equipped on both of them, and mechanical like devices connecting the joint of the sleeve.
"Big sis!" Nepgear and Uni said at the same time greatful at their arrival as they flew to their sisters.
"Nepgear, are you okay?" Purple Heart asked and Nepgear nodded.
"I suppose you did a good job Uni" Black Heart said, making her little sister sigh.
"Yeah, like usual".
"Who's this guy?" White Heart asked as Cygnus got back up.
"His name is Cygnus, an Alien that merged with a human" Rockman told them, catching the CPU's attention.
"So you're this Rockman we've been hearing about" Green Heart said, floating towards him and getting a good look at him making the young boy blush "N-Nice to meet you".
"Damn it, I didn't want the rest to show up" Cygnus growled standing up.
"Well I guess I have no choice, I'll have to enact my revenge earlier than expected" he said before turning into energy and flying up a wave road.
"Where is he going? And where did he go" Purple Heart Questioned at the direction he flew up.
"He's entered the wave world" Omega-Xis explained as the goddesses looked at him.
"What do you mean? Wave world?" Black Heart questioned, with a raised eyebrow.
"The wave world is a world that is unseeable by the naked eye, it's where the EM beings like myself and Cygnus are born, judging from the wave road he's on his way to a satellite" Omega-xis explained.
"Why would he go to a satellite?" Green Heart wondered with a raised eyebrow.
"He's going to crash into Lastation!".
They all looked over to Aaron running towards them tiredly "I saw Tom's computer and I found out he's going to crash it into Lastation".
"What! Why would he do that!" Black Heart asked both shocked and worried.
"FM-ians are manipulative beings, so he most likely manipulated him into doing what he says".
"What! Then we have to do something now!" Rockman said turning around.
"Careful kid, we could barely touch him last time" Omega-Xis warned but Rockman just looked at him.
"I can’t just not go! This is something only we can do!" Rockamn told him before turning into energy and flying after Cygnus wing.
"Wait!" Black Heart yelled but it was too late he was already gone.
"Well he certainly doesn't seem that bad" Green Heart said,
"It could be he's being Manipulated by this FM-Ian" Black Heart frowned and Purple Heart nodded "Yeah but one things clear, he's the only one we can rely on to stop this guy".
Satellite
Third Person P.O.V.
Thanks to Omega-Xis they were able to make it to the wave road in no time, it took them a bit to find the right wave road though.
"There it is!" Rockman yelled, landing on the Satellite.
"At the rate this is falling, we only have 5 to 10 minutes to destroy it! We need to do it now" Omega-Xis told him and Ryu nodded.
"Not gonna let you do that! Rockman"! Cygnus Wing yelled, punching Rockman back.
"What!" He yelled, landing on the other side of the satellite.
"Mr Dubias! You have to snap out of it" Rockman crossing his arms to block a punch from Cygnus Wing before pushing him back.
"NO! I WON'T LET ANYONE TAKE MY INVENTION FROM ME! NO ONE CAN BE TRUSTED! NO ONE!" Tom yelled, punching Rockman who kept blocking the hits.
“Geh” Rockman gasped, as he was at the edge of the Satellite
"THESE HUMANS ARE ALL GREEDY BASTARD ONLY LOOKING OUT FOR THEMSELVES!" He yelled about to throw a large amount of feathers at Rockman to knock him off of the satellite.
"Then what about Ryu!".
"What?" Dubias asked with widened eyes as Cygnus Wing froze in place.
"What about Ryu, he hadn't eaten after putting in hours of training the whole day and yet he still shared his food with you".
"Omega-Xis…" Ryu muttered looking at the FM-Ian.
“If all humans are all greedy bastards then what about Ryu or Aaron Boreal who gave you your job after everything that happened to you, he wanted to help you get recognized for your potential, in fact the only one that's using you is Cygnus!"
Dubias froze before energy coursed through his body.
"Gah! What are you doing" Cygnus yelled, grabbing his head "Damn it Omega-Xis! What have you done!”
"He's weakened Ryu! Now's our chance, the only way to separate them is to defeat him! So don't hold back!" Omega-Xis yelled and Ryu nodded.
"Alright, let's do this!”
Rockman rushed towards Cygnus, starting to blast at him and Cygnus deflected them but some of the shots did hit him.
"It's working!" Ryu grinned, charging up another blast as Cygnus growled.
"No, I won't let you!" Cygnus yelled, throwing feathers at Rockman.
Rockman slid under the feathers and blasted right at the alien's face knocking upwards "Damn it!".
"Alright let's try this! Battle Card Predation! Vulcan" he yelled, throwing a card into the air as Omega-Xis ate it transforming his arm into a Gatling gun.
Cygnus threw several towards Rockman but the Gatling Guns attack pierced through the feathers.
"What!" Cygnus yelled shocked, before crossing his arms as he was shot several times by the attack.
"Alright! We're doing some damage!" Rockman yelled before pulling out a new card.
" Battle Card Predation! Hot Wheel!" He yelled as Omega-Xis at the card and shot a flaming wheel at Cygnus w”ng burning his wings.
"Looks like you can't use that attack anymore" Rockman smirked before pulling out another card.
"Were running out, this is my strongest card I was saving it, so there isn't a better time than any" he yelled before throwing three cards into the air.
" Battle Card Predation! Sword! Wide Sword! Long Sword!!" He yelled as Omega-Xis ate the card transforming his hand as the three swords combined “Programme Advance! Tri Saber!”
Rockman ran towards Cygnus Wing as he flew towards Rockman and the two strikes each other.
When it was done there was a silence before Cygnus Wing blew up "Gaaah!".
"Mr Dubias!" Rockman called but Cygnus Wing stood there gripping his chest wound.
"Damn you! I'll be back" he growled turning into energy flying off.
"Omega-Xis we have to go after him" Ryu yelled but Omega-Xis shook his head.
"No, if we do then the Satellite will crash into the city" Omega-Xis said making Ryu look down.
"Alright" He said, feeding a battle card and fed it to Omega-Xis as he transformed into a cannon as he aimed at the Satellite causing it to begin spinning and break apart.
This caused the smaller pieces to burn up in re-entry as Rockman went back to Amaken.
Back on Gamindustri.
"He did it" Noire informed the others while looking at her Transer, she sighed in relief along with the other who had returned to normal.
"Whew, that was so stressful like the final boss of a game" Neptune said before Rockman landed behind them.
"Woah! Nice work Rockman!" Neptune cheered, running up to him to offer a high five but he looked down.
"What's wrong?" She asked with a raised eyebrow while Rockman turned to Aaron with a frown.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't save Mr Dubias, Cygnus left before they separated" he apologised but Aaron smiled.
"It's alright, we'll find him eventually besides you just saved the entire nation".
"I have to admit, you did a good job for a vigilante" Noire admitted as Rockman blinked.
"Um yeah Thanks"
"Hey I can't keep this form up for long, we should go" Omega-Xis said and Rockman nodded turning to energy and flying off.
"Hey Wait!" Noire yelled but he was already gone.
"Why does he keep doing that?" Noire frowned, a tick mark on her head.
"Come on Noire, he's a superhero he has to keep his secret identity" Neptune joked as Noire looked at her fellow goddess.
"You really are stupid, how do we know he'll come back if something like this happens again".
"It'll be fine, don't forget they're looking for him too" Blanc said and Vert nodded.
"That is a good point, but we might be able to find a way to fight them in this wave world as well," Vert said and the others nodded.
"Hey guys!" They looked over to see Ryu running towards them. "Did you beat that Cygnus guy?" Ryu asked tired.
"Ah man, Ryu you missed it, that Rockman guy came and beat him up, he freaking saved all of Lastation" she said and Ryu smiled "Wow! I wish I could've seen it".
Nepgear was looking at this and noticed that Ryu's hair was the same as Rockman's.
'Could Ryu be… no way that’s impossible…’ she thought, shaking her head.
"We should head back before Histy gets all Pisty" Neptune yelped, running off with the others following except Ryu.
"I have to admit you did a good job this time, You're getting better at this" Omega-Xis said making Ryu smile "Yeah, I did a pretty good job didn't I".
"Hey Ryu, you coming" Neptune yelled and Ryu nodded.
"Coming!" He called following them with a smile on his face.
Chapter 4: The Taurus of School
Chapter Text
Planeptune High
Ryu P.O.V.
"God-damn, this is so boring" Omega-Xis groaned, as we waited for the school day to end. "Ryu, how long till it's over"
"It's almost over Omega-Xis, you just have to wait a few more minutes" I assured him, making Omega-Xis grumble. "This is so god-damn boring".
Several days have passed since me and Omega-Xis stopped Cygnus Wing and I've started to get more accustomed to living with Neptune and the others as well as being a secret superhero stopping viruses with Omega-Xis.
Things have been getting a bit busy since the Friendship treaty signing is in a few days. But I've still continued my school life.
"Alright then, how about someone explain the Brother Band system… Ms Platz?" Mr Sheepar said, but Luna was abit… distracted.
"Rockman~" she smiled, with stars in her eyes.
'It's a bit embarrassing when she's daydreaming about me everyday without knowing it's me...' I thought, while scratching my cheek.
"Ms. Platz, are you having a nice dream?" Mr Steplar asked, making Luna blink before looking up.
"Huh? Oh right brother bands" she said, picking up her book.
"BrotherBands are bonds formed by close friends using EM Waves via a Transer" she explained, before continuing on. "The term for a friend with whom someone shares a BrotherBand is simply Brother, regardless of the Brother's gender".
"When two people form a BrotherBand, they can contact each other at any time. They also learn their friend's secrets, so BrotherBands are only formed usually between people that really trust each other" she said, before changing the page.
"A few years ago there was an attempt to create a BrotherBand with another planet on the ship called the Elysium but unfortunately the Elysium disappeared four years ago" Luna exp;ained, as I felt everyone gaze at me.
"So that was what the BrotherBand system was for" Omega-Xis said, as I looked at him.
"You didn't know?" I asked, and he nodded.
"Yeah, your parents tried to explain it to me but I barely understood it. Best I could figure out was that it was a way to interact with other planets along with something else" he explained.
“Something else?”
Ding Dong
"Looks like class is about done," Mr Sheplar said, closing his book.
"Don't forget to do your homework and have a good weekend" he said, as we began packing away.
"Finally, can't believe I'm saying this but I would much rather be stuck in space alone than go through that again" Omega-Xis sighed, as I began packing my bags.
I soon finished packing my bags and was about to leave but then.
"Ryu!" I heard, looking over to see Luna looking at me.
"Yeah?".
"Well I was just remembering how I still haven't shown you the features of this school" Luna said, as I nodded "Y-Yeah Sorry, my… family has been pretty busy for the last couple of days".
"Well not that I care but if you're not busy then I'll show you around the school, I'm not busy after all" she said, with a small blush on her face "And you better not be late!"
“Yeah sure, sounds great…” I groaned, looking to the side.
"You better not forget this kid" Bud said, raising his fist "Luna's taking away from her precious time to this for you"
"Yeah, Yeah I hear you" I said, before standing up "Well see you tomorrow than I guess.”
Planeptune
Ryu P.O.V.
"Why are we walking back when we could just transform and use the wave road?" Omega-xis asked, as I walked through the city.
"Cause that's what we've been doing for the last while, I just wanted to change things up a bit" I answered, walking to the front of the Basilicom.
But when I did, I accidentally bumped into someone, making her fall and drop her papers. "Ow!" "S-Sorry!"
The person who fell was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties. She has long heather blue hair and blue-green eyes that are accompanied by thin framed glasses. She wears a single hair accessory on the left side of her head which has a triangular shape at the base that is black with white and blue in the center and has a second part on top which is white accompanied with blue lining. Her attire consists of a primarily black business-woman-like suit with a skull right between where her torso ends and her legs start. On her arms she wears what appears to be two white gauntlets with blue lining and black skulls on the end. Her leg wear contains black tights and white knee high boots with black shoe laces and black bottoms with blue lining and skulls on the side.
'Weird…' I thought, looking at her strange outfit before looking at the papers she had.
"Oh Uh let me get that for you" I said,picking up the pamphlet.
"T-thank you…" She nodded as she began picking up a few more as well.
After a few minutes of picking up the papers we eventually were able to pick them all up.
"T-Thank you so much, I really should be more careful with these," she scrambled, as we finished picking up the papers "I-I'm Rei Ryghts, you?"
"Ryu Stelar" I answered her, with a smile.
"Okay Ryu,S-sorry about this".
"It's alright" I said, handing my pile of papers to her. "I hope you have good luck with your job,"
"Y-Yes, h-here" she then handed me a pamphlet before running off.
"Huh…" I mumbled, before looking at the paper to see it was a bunch of scribbles which I think said 'no goddesses'.
"Guess there are people on this planet who have no faith in the goddesses" Omega-Xis said, crossing his arms as I looked at the paper.
"So you're on your way to Neps I see" I jumped from the voice behind me, before turning around to see IF walking up to me.
"Oh, hi ms IF what are you doing here?”
"First call me IF, second Nep asked me to help her out with something" she answered, and I nodded.
There was a bit of an awkward silence as we made our way to the Basilicom but eventually IF broke the silence "So I bet things must be crazy in the Basilicom".
"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked, with raised eyebrows.
"Well, with the whole friendship treaty signing in two days I can bet things are getting pretty crazy there".
"Well yeah… but probably not as much as other nations" I said, as we walked inside the Basilicom
"Yeah, that definitely sounds like Nep" she nodded as we entered the elevator and took it to the top floor.
When we made it to the top we heard a ding sound as the door opened and when it did.
"NNNNNEEEEEPPPPPTTTTTUUUUUNNNNEEEEE!".
We suddenly saw a purple blur running towards us quickly.
"Sweet! Iffy you're here, okay let's go!" She yelled pushing me out of the elevator before pressing the button closing the door.
"…What was that?" I questioned, looking around confused.
"Sorry, Big sis hadn't done any work so Histoire screamed at her to 'not come back until the quest board is clear'" Nepgear explained, which made me sweatdrop.
"Wow, that sounds pretty bad," I said, and Nepgear nodded "Yeah, we still have some preparations so I'm staying here to help with it.”
"Well I can't help you, I kind of got something going on tomorrow and I still have some homework to do, sorry" I explained, but she shook her head.
"No it's alright, school is important as well" she said, before looking to the side. "To be honest..I'd like to know what it's like at least once…”
"Well why don't you come with me?" I asked, surprising the candidate.
"E-Eh?! You heard me," she asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, I'm getting a tour around the school tomorrow and I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you came," I said, but she was still unsure.
"But I have a lot of work to do with the friendship treaty," she told me, as I smiled.
"You've been working hard for awhile, you should take a break," I said, she thought about it for a while before sighing "Alright, I'll do it".
"Good, I'll tell you when we have to go tomorrow" I said before turning around to walk to my room.
Third person P.O.V.
As Ryu walked back, a thought came to Nepgear's mind from when she and the other CPUs fought the FM-Ian, Cygnus Wing.
"Omega-xis! You merged with a human!"
"Omega-Xis isn't my name in this form, We're known as Rockman!"
"Omega-Xis… wasn't that the name of the Alien Ryu met…" she muttered, thinking back to the night she met the boy.
"But it wasn't a dream! I did meet Omega-Xis.”
"…Could Ryu be Rockman…" she thought, before shaking her head "No that's impossible…right?".
A few hours later
Ryu's room
Third person P.O.V.
"And done," Ryu said, closing his books with an audible slam. "Now I can just relax and enjoy my weekend.”
"Hey Ryu, I was wondering something" Omega-Xis said, popping the screen of Ryu's transer up "What's up Omega-Xis?".
"Well I've been looking through your Transer and I've noticed that you have no BrotherBand, I would've at least expected you to have some with those idiots" he said describing the Nep sisters.
This made Ryu frown as he looked at the alien. "Well…I used to have a few BrotherBand… but after my parents went missing… I cut them all and haven't made any since" he explained before looking at Omega-xis.
"Heh, should've expected you to do something like that" Omega-Xis said, which annoyed Ryu.
"What's that meant to mean?" he asked, but Omega-Xis shook his head.
"Nothing, anyway I'd say it's best to do some training" he said, with Ryu being reluctant for a moment before finally sighing in defeat.
"Alright, let's go" he said before raising his Transer arm in front of him.
" EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" Ryu yelled, pressing his Transer as Omega-xis appeared behind him before engulfing Ryu, merging their bodies together transforming into Rockman.
When Ryu opened his eyes and found himself on the wave road in the Basilicom which was filled with strange robot looking people working on different things and down below Nepgear was on the couch, Neptune was playing some games and Compa was working on dinner with IF.
"Who are these guys?" Rockman wondered, looking at the working robots.
"These are Navi's basically different programs of machines that are given form in the wave world"
"So what will we be doing today?" Rockman asked, as he walked around the Wave road.
"Well basically I wanted to show you some of the abilities you have as an Em Human" he said, before moving towards Nepgear who was working on a gadget.
"Try focusing on her, specifically her Transer" Omega-Xis directed, while Ryu began focusing on the Transer for a bit before a screen popped up in front of him "Woah!".
Rockman took a look at the screen and soon realized what he was looking at "This is Nepgear's BrotherBand page…I-I shouldn't be looking at this".
"Stop being a baby! With your headset you can see the screen of any electronic device from afar including anything private and the user wouldn't even realize" Omega-Xis explained as Rockman looked down at the alien.
“Still, it isn’t polite” Rockman pouted before reluctantly looking up at the screen.
It had a pink background with a picture of a large robot that looked like the Basilicom and on the BrotherBand page it had several pictures of Neptune, IF, Compa, Uni and two girls that looked like twins he didn't know, one had short brown hair with grey eyes and a blue hat and the other had long brown hair with grey eyes and a pink hat.
"Heh, impressed and that's not all you can see-" "EEP!".
They both looked over to see a large burst of fire coming from the stove which made Compa fall down in surprise.
"Woah! Compa, you okay?" Neptune asked, pausing her game before running to her friend with Nepgear.
"Goodness, what happened?" Nepgear gasped, looking at the large fire as she helped Compa up.
"I-I don't know Ge-Ge, the stove just burst into flames" Compa said, still scared as IF looked at the others.
"Quick we need to get a fire extinguisher" She said, and the others nodded, running to look for it.
"Omega-Xis, we have to help!" Rockman said, but Omega-Xis shook his head.
"No this isn't something you can do alone" he said confusing Ryu "What do you mean?".
"This is the work of EM viruses affecting the stove" Omega-Xis explained, surprising Ryu "Reach your hand to the stove and focus.”
“Alright…” Ryu raised his hand and focused on the stove when suddenly he felt some kind of force pulling him towards the stove "W-Woah!"
Next thing Ryu knew he was being pulled into this strange space completely made out of waves with many viruses attacking the place and Navi's working in the place.
"Where are we?" Ryu asked, looking around.
"We’re in a place known as the wave space, it's basically an area created by the waves the stove was using" Omega-xis explained, before looking up "Unless accompanied by a EM being like me this kind of place is inaccessible to humans".
Ryu then noticed screaming as he looked over to see the Navi's being attacked by viruses.
"Oh no! We need to help them" Ryu said, flying towards the Navi's being attacked by the Viruses.
Ryu pulled out a battle card before throwing it into the air to allow Omega-Xis to eat it "Battle card! Predation! Aqua sword!"
Omega-Xis's head transformed into a blue water sword as Rockman ran towards them and slashed them all deleting them.
"Get to safety! I'll handle these guys" Rockman told them and the Navi nodded, running off with other Navi's.
"Ryu! Look out" Omega-Xis yelled, as a saw came dashing towards him. Ryu jumped over the saw and noticed the one who threw it, a scorpion virus so with a charged shot he blasted the virus knocking it back.
"You're getting better at this" Omega-Xis said, legitimately impressed with Ryu as he smiled "Yeah, I'm getting better at this".
Suddenly they heard the sound of an engine as they looked over to see several hot wheels dashing towards them.
"They must be the one causing the fire" Omega-Xis realised as he grinned “This is gonna be fun!”
Ryu began blasting the Hot Wheels but they simply drove out of the way dodging the blast "They're too fast!".
"You'll have to use a battle card, one that covers a wide area" Omega-Xis directed while Ryu pulled out a card with the picture of a Slime on it.
"Battle Card! Predation! Wide Wave! " he yelled, as Omega-Xis ate the card before he aimed at the hot wheels and shot a wide energy blast, deleting most of the viruses except one.
"Time to end this!" Ryu yelled, pulling out another card and throwing it into the air.
"Battle Card! Predation! Jet Attack!" He yelled as Omega-xis ate the card transforming into a pied head.
Ryu rocketed towards the Hot wheel as it drove towards him, the bird head charging with energy before they penetrated the virus destroying it.
"Ha…ha… Did we do it?" Ryu asked, with Omega-Xis nodding.
"Yeah kid, good job let's head back" he said, as they teleported away not noticing a FM-Ian with a Taurus motif watching them.
The next day
Planeptune High
Third person P.O.V.
"Wow! So this is your school!" Neptune gushed, with stars in her eyes as we walked up to the large building.
Neptune had asked Ryu and Nepgear if she could visit the school as well, mostly to get out of doing work for Histoire.
Now they were on their way there though Neptune and Nepgear had to wear wigs to make them pass as Ryu's siblings.
"I've always wanted to go to this school, I heard this place had an amazing Planetarium" Nepgear grinned, with stars in her eyes as she looked around.
"You're late!" They heard, as they all looked around to see Luna, Bud and Zack walking towards the group wearing their casual clothing and Bud was holding a pile of books.
"You are precisely 5 minutes and 27 seconds late and who are these two!" Luna yelled, pointing to Neptune and Nepgear.
"Oh! Um were Ryu's older sisters, we were hoping to see the school as well," Nepgear explained, with Neptune nodding "Yeah! we heard that this place was hella cool!".
Luna looked at the two before sighing "Fine, I guess that'd be alright, not like I care" she said, as Neptune looked at her.
"Looks like we got ourselves another Tsundere in this fanfic" Neptune nodded while crossing her arms.
Zack moved his glasses as he took a closer look at the two disguised CPU's "Hmm, has anyone ever said you two look like the CPU and candidate".
"Oh uuuuhhhh…" Ryu gulped, trying to think of a plausible excuse when Bud spoke.
"Oh yeah and weren't you that girl we helped save a while ago, why were you dressed up as Lady Nepgear?" He asked, making Nepgear's eyes widen "Oh! That was you three..."
"Uuuuuummmmm" Ryu gulped trying to think of any excuse possible when Neptune stood up.
"Hehe, we were going to a cosplay contest and we asked Ryu for some help" she said, making the other three nod.
"Anyway, let's begin the tour!" Luna declared, with pride in her voice "I am Luna Platz the student council president and these are my friends Bud and Zack"
Luna then turned and began marching in front of the group towards the main school as the others followed but Omega-Xis sensed something.
"Huh?" Omega-Xis said, looking away.
"You okay?" Ryu asked, as Omega-Xis looked at him.
"I thought I sensed someone familiar, I'm gonna check it out" Omega-Xis said, and Ryu nodded.
"Alright, good luck Omega-Xis".
As Omega-Xis left the Transer, Nepgear looked at Ryu with concern "…Omega-Xis again?".
Planetarium
Third person P.O.V.
"Wow! This place is awesome!" Ryu and Nepgear smiled, as they looked around the large Planetarium.
"This place was designed by expert scientists from Leanbox and Lastation to help the school's space class.” Luna smiled, crossing her arms.
"Woah! Ryu, look at that telescope!" Nepgear excitedly yelled, pointing to the large telescope room.
“Yeah I see it and look at this Simulator" Ryu said, with a smile.
"Wow, your sister and brother are crazy into the Sciencey space stuff" Bud blinked with a sweatdrop and Neptune nodded.
"Yup, they're a bit of a handful but I still love the heck out of em.” Neptune nodded, as she looked over at Ryu ‘Brother huh?’
"If you think that's cool check this out" Luna said, opening her Transer and pressing a couple of buttons allowing several screens to light up in the room which activated the simulator showing the vastness of space.
"Woah" Ryu and Nepgear gawked, as Luna pressed a few more buttons making the space to zoom in revealing different Galaxies.
"This is so cool" Ryu smiled, as Luna looked at him.
"Wanna give it a try, Ryu?" Luna asked, making Ryu perk up a bit "Sure!"
"I just don't get why she cares so much about that guy," Bud frowned, making Zack roll his eyes.
"It's obvious isn't it, she wants to improve her status" Zack said, making Neptune laugh.
"Yup, definitely like Noire".
"If she can get someone as popular as Ryu to vote for her then way more people will vote for her as well" Zack explained, surprising Neptune.
"Ryu's popular here".
"Yeah, I hear people talking about him all the time, about his grades, what happened to your parents and even how much he knows about space and technology" He explained, making Neptune's eyes sparkle.
"Ooh, looks like my lil bro is popular".
"It's just that she's never been that nice to me" Bud sighed, while looking down "Must be nice.”
He noticed a football near his foot and angrily kicked it towards the roof of the Planetarium.
"Hold on, is somebody jealous perhaps?" Zack smirked, making Bud blush red.
"W-W-What n-no w-way!" He stammered making Zack and Neptune laugh.
"Your face is red like a tomato though~" Neptune jokes, making him blush more.
"S-Shut up".
Sky
Third person P.O.V.
Omega-Xis flew up into the blue sky, above the school grounds. When he reached the top he began looking around.
"Where are you...?" Omega-Xis murmured as he looked up to find an ox like figure descending down on him from the sky.
Omega-Xis quickly moved out of the way as it flew past him and continued moving before slowing down.
Omega-Xis instantly recognised who it was which made him click his tongue "Oh, so it's you."
The Fm-ian had a humanoid and muscular build from the waist up and looked to be made of fire. Instead of legs, it had a tail. His body was mostly armor with red shoulder pads and the upper half of a bull-like helmet. Even his horns were made of flames. Lastly, a gold ox symbol was stamped on his forehead.
"Omega-Xis! You blasted traitor! I finally found you!" the bull creature shouted, snorting.
"Heh, so you did, Taurus. What took you so long?" Omega-Xis asked.
"Don't take that tone with me!" Taurus shouted, folding his arms. "You're going to return the Andromeda Key and come with me to answer for your crimes, traitor!"
"Sorry, but I took it for a reason and I'm not just going to hand it back, especially not to a muscle-headed idiot like you," Omega-Xis retorted.
"Very well, I will just take it back by force! Rugh!" Taurus roared as he charged at his former comrade.
Planetarium
Third person P.O.V.
"Alright, so I just gotta do this and this and NOW!" Ryu grinned, typing some things into his Transer as several planets appeared making Nepgear and Luna's eyes widened.
"Beautiful".
"Geez, how is something like that getting so much attention to Luna" Bud sighed, before looking up "Hey Luna! Where do I put these books!".
"Huh, oh just leave them next to my locker" she said, and Bud nodded "Alright" he sighed walking off into the main school hall.
Outside Omega-Xis and Taurus were fighting by ramming into each other through the school causing a loud crashing that came from the school.
"Huh? What's that sound" Nepgear wondered, as Ryu looked at her.
"Did you hear something?" He asked, and Nepgear nodded "Yeah I heard a crashing sound".
"That must be someone breaking in! We have to stop them!" Luna yelled, as Neptune raised an eyebrow "Is it just for your status?".
"Of course, stopping criminals would definitely improve my status so let's go!" Luna yelled, walking on ahead with Zack following.
"Should we go with them?" Ryu asked, with Neptune nodding.
"Well duh, we can't let anything bad happen to this school so let's go!" Neptune yelled, running on ahead with Ryu and Nepgesr following.
Meanwhile Taurus and Omega-Xis were still fighting when Taurus tackled Omega-Xis throwing him into a shed.
"Gah, Damn it!" Omega-Xis yelled, slowly getting up before being punched in the gut and getting thrown again.
"Aaahh!" He yelled, crashing into a wall.
When Omega-Xis crashed Taurus took the chance to charge up a fireball before tossing towards the disoriented Omega-Xis.
"Gaah!" Omega-Xis screamed, take the explosion caused by the fire ball "Grrr, where's Ryu when ya need it".
"You should've realized it's pointless Omega-Xis! I am the strongest warrior on Planet FM, there's no way you can beat me in battle" Taurus smirked, as Omega-Xis slowly got back up.
"It's going to take a lot more than brute strength to stop me!" Omega-Xis yelled, flying towards Taurus.
"What was that!" Taurus yelled, as Omega-xis punched Taurus in the gut before moving back and punching him again into the Planetarium.
"You're strong but you can't keep up with my speed" Omega-Xis smirked before flying towards Taurus.
"Hey! Where did everyone go?" Bud asked, while walking through the Planetarium when suddenly something crashed through the walls "What the?!".
He saw something invincible slowly get back up as Bud stepped back scared. The invisible creature looked at Bud with a smirk "That EM frequency… perfect".
"Aaaaahhhh!" Bud screamed, running away from the invisible monster chasing him, catching their attention.
"Is that Bud? What's he doing?" Luna questioned, watching the boy running away.
"Looks like he's running away from something" Neptune said, as Ryu looked at her.
"Running away? Oh no!" He said, putting down his Visualizers to see Taurus chasing him.
"An FM-Ian!" He whispered, but Nepgear heard him.
"FM-ian?" Nepgear blinked ‘How does Ryu know about them?’
Taurus rushed even faster towards Bud making Ryu's eyes widen.
"Bud look out!" He yelled, but it was too late as Taurus engulfed Bud covering him in a bright red light.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! BUD BISON! ON AIR!" Bud yelled, as his body was engulfed in the red glint transforming him into an EM wave being.
When the light had died down they saw that Bud had transformed into a Taurus themed monster. He had a more muscular body with pronounced muscles, and became double sized as more armor connected to him. He gained a black bodysuit, dark red shin guards with hooves for feet and spikes on the knees, giant red gauntlets with gray fingers and torches with fire coming out of his elbows and back, large and heavy chest armor that was red and gray with orange accents, and red shoulder pads. His helmet was ox-like, with long and sharp horns, a red helmet with spikes protruding from the top, and a muzzle that looked like a blow torch. Finally, a gold ox symbol was stamped over his forehead.
"I am Taurus fire!" He roared, using Bud's voice as a flamethrower burst from his snout right as Omega-Xis appeared "Damn it! I'm too late".
"W-What is that thing?" Luna asked, scared.
"Woah! It's one of those FM guys!" Neptune yelled, with Ryu gulping.
"And it's possessing Bud" he said, shocking the others.
"What! Oh no big sis we gotta save him" Nepgear said, concerned with Neptune nodding "I hear ya lil Sis! You three go hide we got this".
"What! You can fight that thing alone just look at it" Luna screeched, but Neptune just smirked.
"Hehe, just watch us" she said, as she and Nepgear summoned their weapons Neptune's was a katana and Nepgear's was a beam sword.
"Ryu, your sisters are so cool" Zack said, with stars in his eyes as Ryu just scratched his cheek.
"Y-Yeah, come on let's go" he said, and the other two nodded before they began running away.
(Play Giant Step from Kamen rider Fourze)
"You think you can stop the strongest FM warrior" Taurus Fire yelled, shooting a stream of fire towards the two sisters as they jumped out of the way.
"Hehe, we're pretty tough ourselves" Neptune said, as she began running towards the FM Ian before jumping in front of its face.
" Cross Combination!" She yelled, before slashing the aliens face several times, Taurus fire stammered back before growling.
"Little rat! OX TACKLE!" Taurus fire yelled, as he began ramming into Neptune while Fiery aura surrounded his body.
“YIPES!” Neptune yelped, barely dodging the attack.
"Woah! That was a close one" Neptune said, as she landed on the ground.
"Your turn lil sis!" Neptune yelled, with Nepgear nodding.
"Alright" Nepgear began running towards the large Alien readying her beam sword.
"Mirage Dance!" She yelled, before slashing the alien's joints several times.
"Gah!" He yelled, before falling to his knees before glaring at the two sisters.
"You little brats!" He yelled, before moving his head back.
" OX FIRE!" He yelled before shooting towards the ground making several fire pillars appear.
"Woah!" The two sisters yelped, moving out of the way of the fire pillars.
While this was going Ryu, Luna and Zack were watching this fight going down.
"They're barely able to hurt it" Luna gulped with a worried look on her face.
"A-Are we going to die?" Zack stammered, clearly scared.
Ryu began looking around before noticing Omega-Xis near a wall.
'That's it!' He thought, before standing up.
"What are you doing!" Luna yelled, as Ryu began running.
"I'm going to try and get the satellite police you wait here!" He yelled, before running off.
"Why didn't he just send them a message?" Luna wondered, as she opened her Transer and sent a message to the Satellite police.
Meanwhile Ryu ran towards the downed Omega-is and kneeled to him "Omega-xis, are you okay?”
"Yeah I'm fine, but they won't be for long thought. We have to get in there" he growled.
"Alright, let's do this" Ryu stated as Omega-Xis turned into energy and entered Ryu's Transer as Ryu lifted his hand.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" He yelled as his body shined brightly.
Meanwhile Neptune and Nepgear were still fighting Taurus Fire but were still making no progress.
"Aw man these guys are so tough, if we could just transform we could beat these guys easily" Neptune complained, but Nepgear looked at her sister.
"We can't, we'll ruin Ryu's school life if we do," she said with Neptune sighing.
"Yeah Yeah I know" Neptune pouted, before looking up.
Taurus Fire growled as he noticed Luna and Zack before smirking.
"That's it!" He roared before turning around and dashing towards the two of them
"OX TACKLE!" Taurus roared, as he began running towards Luna and Zack at fast speeds.
"Oh no!" "We can't reach him" the Nep sister screamed, but before he was able to hit them.
"Battle Card! Predation! Barrier!"
Before he could hit the two Rockman appeared and blocked the attack with a barrier that appeared around his body much to the shock of the others.
"What!" "Woah! That was so cool!" "Where did he come from?" Some of them said at Rockman's appearance but was covered by
"ROOOOOCCCCKKKMMMAAAANNNN!~~~~" Luna screamed, with hearts in her eyes as she quickly rushed up and hugged him “I FINALLY GET TO SEE YOU AGAIN!”
"U-Um y-yeah g-good to see you too…you should get out of here and quick!" Rockman said, with Luna quickly standing up.
"Alright Rockman!" Luna saluted, before grabbing Zack and running away.
"Omega-Xis! So you fused with your human to become this, what was it? Rockman" Taurus Fire scoffed, surprising Omega-Xis.
"How did you know about us!" Omega-Xis yelled, as Taurus smirked "I tested your abilities yesterday so I could figure out some strategies to beat you".
This made Ryu's eyes widen as he looked at the FM-Ian "The fire! That was you! You bastard!"
Rockman began shooting several charged blasts at Taurus to not affect "That's the best you can do? Well let's see you take some of this! OX TACKLE!" .
Taurus charged flames around his body before ramming into Rockman knocking him back.
"And now to end you, OX FIRE!" Taurus Fire yelled, before charging flames into his snout.
Before he could shoot however he was slashed in the face by Purple Heart before being slashed by Nepgear.
"Lady Purple Heart! Lady Nepgear" Rockman said, surprised as he slowly got back up.
"Thanks for getting those two away, now we can fight at our strongest," Purple Heart said, before turning to Taurus Fire.
"How do we beat him?" Nepgear asked, as Omega-Xis looked at her.
"You can't beat him with brute strength, the only way to beat him is to be faster".
"Faster? Alright I think we got this" Purple Heart smirked, readying her sword and Nepgear nodded.
"Right" she said, getting her energy blade ready before the two goddesses rushed towards the Alie.
" Cross Combination" "Mirage Dance!" The two sisters slashed the Alien several times knocking him into the air before Rockman pulled out a card.
"Battle Card! Predation! Vulcan".
Rockman's arm changed into a Gatling gun before he aimed at Taurus and began firing at the alien as it landed to the ground.
"How dare you! I am the strongest warrior of Planet FM!" Taurus roared "OX TACKLE-" "Battle Card! Predation! Earth Hammer!".
Before Taurus Fire could use his attack Rockman used a battle card to change his hand into a large hammer.
Proceeding to slam it into the ground causing a small quake which tripped Taurus.
"Now let's finish it!" Purple Heart yelled, slashing Taurus Fire several times before tossing him into the air to allow Nepgear to slash Taurus Fire towards Rockman.
"Battle Card! Predation! Super Cannon!" He yelled, as he summoned a red cannon and aimed at Taurus Fire, shooting a powerful blast at the Alien causing a large explosion forcing Taurus out of Bud's body.
"Damn it! I'll be back for the Andromeda Key one of these days, OMEGA-XIS!" Taurus yelled, before flying off.
(End song).
"Hey, you okay?" Rockman asked, softly as Bud slowly opened his eyes .
"Ugh my head, what happened" he murmured, before noticing Rockman.
"Y-You're Rockman!" Bud yelled, falling down on his butt and pointing to the transformed boy "W-What are you doing here? What happened!".
"You were possessed by an alien and transformed into a monster, but we were able to stop him and save you" he explained, which made Bud raise an eyebrow "We?"
"Yo!" Bud heard, turning around to see Neptune and Nepgear "You're lucky we're a part of the guild or you would've been in trouble.”
They then heard footsteps as they all looked over to see the Satellite police running towards them.
"You’re under arrest Rockma-" “Move!” Luna yelled, quickly shoving him to the ground.
"RRRRRRROOOOOOCCCCCKKKKMMMMAAAANNNN~~~" Luna passed by all the Satellite Police while running towards her crush.
"Oh no! Gotta go bye!" Ryu screamed before turning into energy and flying as Luna fell.
"Aw Rockman come back, what's a girl gotta do to get some attention!" She screamed into the air with tears in her eyes.

"Wow, today was a long day and it's about to get even longer," Ryu sighed, as he put on his suit to get ready for the party to celebrate the Friendship treaty signing.
"You need to be more careful, we probably wouldn't have won if those two goddesses weren't there." Omega-Xis answered, with Ryu nodding.
"Yeah, good thing they were," Ryu agreed, while tying his tie.
Suddenly the door slowly opened, making Ryu turn around to see Nepgear walking inside.
"Oh Nepgear, what's up?" He asked, as the girl's cheeks turned red.
"W-Well I wanted to ask you something that's been on my mind lately" she said, confusing Ryu.
"About what?".
"Well I remembered that when I was fighting both of those aliens that they called Rockman Omega-xis, the alien you said you had met…" Nepgear said, making Ryu's eyes widen.
"Oh yeah, w-what a coincidence" He gulped, scratching his cheek but Nepgear pouted.
"You know it's not, I'm just gonna ask you".
Nepgear took a deep breath before looking at Ryu who gulped.
"Are you Rockman?" She said, making Ryu's eyes widen
"Eh?".
Chapter 5: Rockman Express Quest
Chapter Text
Planeptune Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"Heed my words! All those who make Gamindustri their home!" Purple Heart started walking down a long purple rug to a single pillar.
She was in her Goddess form and wore a long purple dress and high heels as well as gloves.
4 purple flags as Neptune walked down, in honour of their goddess.
"This day represents the first step into a new era and I am thrilled that you and I are able to greet it together!" She declared, smiling "Welcome to the next level!"
She continues walking down her purple rug with such elegance and pride as she passes by her Planeptune guards, who are of course all women "As I'm sure you know, in these past years this fantasy star of ours has been plagued with constant war."
We then see Noire in her Black Heart form walking down the rug as well; she wore a see through cloak underneath a black dress as well.
Her people stood up with pride as her silver white hair slightly waved behind her "Lasitation, ruled by the goddess, CPU Black Heart."
Black Heart walks towards the middle where Purple Heart is going as well. In the background, we see Uni as well in a gray and blue dress.
Next to her was the Oracle of Lastation, Kei Jinguji and although she may look like a man in a suit, this is quickly forgotten when she is in a dress.
We then see Blanc in her White Heart form walk down the rug as well.
She was currently wearing a white dress with a blue white striped ribbon on her right shoulder. She also had a tiara that had blood red rubies on it.
"Lowee, ruled by the goddess, CPU White Heart."
Same as Lastation, her people stood up with pride, in front of the crowd there were two kids in front.
These were Blanc’s little sisters and the CPU Candidates of Lowee, Rom and Ram.
The one in the pink dress with a baby blue bow on her waist and long brown hair was Ram. The one next to her with the baby blue dress and pink bow on her waist as well as short brown hair was Rom.
Then the one next to Rom was the caring oracle, Mina Nishizawa. She is currently wearing a red robe over her white dress, and wearing a red graduation cap. She also has long blue hair with a facial expression showing both a little nervousness and determination.
"Leanbox, ruled by the goddess, CPU Green Heart"
We then see Vert in her Green Heart walking down the rug as well, she wore a similar dress to White Heart except with Green Lines instead of Blue. And like with rest her people stand up with pride.
"And last but not least, yours truly… CPU Purple Heart, ruler of Planeptune"
With a prideful smirk, Purple Heart proceeded to step on to a glass platform as her people stood up as well, Ryu, Nepgear, Histoire, Compa and IF being among these people.
Compa wore a peach colored dress and next to her IF wore a oversized blue coat over a black modified overalls.
Nepgear was currently wearing a very light purple dress and Histoire wore a purple dress with a blue tie.
Ryu was wearing a black suit with a red shirt underneath and a yellow tie, they all then looked up at the goddesses.
"Our kingdoms have vied for Share Energy, the source of a nation's strength" , Purple Heart explained , as the four goddesses started to float up while being on the glass platform making them look majestic.
"And on occasion, even the goddesses themselves have come to blows with this fruitless struggle, but that shall be no more. The Friendship Treaty we shall sign today will ban all taking of shares with military force. From now on, we shall increase our own shares by improving our beloved countries and fostering a healthy development of the entire world."
They then all held hands before looking towards the sky while closing their eyes.
"We Hereby vouch to overcome our past! And create a world of hope so that all people may prosper as long as we live!"
As they finished, fireworks are set off. Everyone begins clapping at the signing of the friendship treaty but Ryu couldn't help but frown as he looked over at Nepgear.
A few hours earlier
Third person P.O.V
"Ryu… are you Rockman?" Nepgear asked, making the boys eyes widen.
"W-What do you mean Nepgear? I haven't even seen this Rockman guy yet."
"But you always seem to be nearby whenever he shows up, and he looks so much like you, especially your hair," she pointed out “Not only that but you also knew about the FM-Ian’s even though we haven’t told you about them.
"Um… well you see…."
"Hah… look kid the jig is up" Omega-xis sighed from Ryu Transer making the Cpu Candidate jump.
"Eh?! Who said that!" Nepgear stammered, looking around as Ryu sigh as he removed his Visualisers before handing them to Nepgear.
"Here, put these on" he told her, giving Nepgear the green glasses confusing her.
"Oh…um… alright?" she nodded, slowly putting the glasses over her eyes “I don’t see how this answers my- huh?”
"BOOO!" "EEEPPP!" Nepgear screamed, jumping behind Ryu as Omega-xis suddenly appeared in front of her.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Omega-xis laughed, while Ryu sighed.
"Omega-xis, you shouldn't do that," Ryu scolded, crossing his arms even if he couldn’t see what actually happened.
"Oh bite me."
"R-R-Ryu, w-what k-kind of EM V-Virus is that" she gulped, pointing to Omega-xis.
"Nepgear this is Omega-xis, an Alien from Planet FM" Ryu explained, as she looked at the Fm-ian.
"An…alien" she murmured, before stars filled her eyes and quickly ran up to Omega-xis.
"WOW I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD MEET A REAL LIFE ALIEN!."
She then began inspecting every nook and cranny of Omega-xis's body.
"INCREDIBLE! YOUR BODY REALLY IS COMPLETELY MADE OF EM WAVES! HOW DID YOU GET HERE! YOU LOOK LIKE THE HEAD ON RYU'S ARM WHEN HE TRANSFORMS! ARE YOU SOMEHOW INVOLVED WITH HIM TRANSFORMING!."
"Oi! You little brat! Get off me!" Omega-xis yelled, trying to push Nepgear away from him "I swear I'll slash you."
Ryu couldn’t help but snicker, even if he couldn’t see what was happening he could probably guess how Omega-xis was reacting.
Eventually Nepgear stopped, with Ryu and Nepgear sitting down on the bed with Omega-xis back in Ryu Transer so they could both see him.
"So um can you tell me how this happened?" Nepgear asked, as Omega-xis and Ryu looked at each other before looking back at her.
"Well you see back on the first day I moved in with you guys, when I left to Ristar park I saw Omega-xis and another Em-being battling it out" Ryu explained, as Nepgear gasped.
"Right, you did mention that"
"I was battling Cygnus and the others at the time, because I had stolen something from the king" Omega-xis explained, making Nepgear turn her head,
"Why would you do that?"
"Tch, cause I didn't like the way he was doing things" Omega-xis scoffed, crossing his arms.
"Anyway, he crashed into me creating that bright flash before Omega-xis hid in my Transer so he wouldn't be detected by the Goddesses or the Satellite Police" Ryu explained, crossing his arms.
"Ever since then we've been combining together to become Rockman to fight the Fm-ians and Em Viruses...I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you or the others."
"Well I can see why you two wouldn't tell the others" Nepgear admitted, before looking at us "I'll keep this a secret but you have to do something for me."
"What?" We asked at the same time, as she gulped.
"I want to help you fight against those EM viruses and the FM-Ians!” she declared, a determined look in her eyes.
"What are you stupid? Normal humans can't even see the viruses, you’re not special just because you’re a CPU" Omega-Xis scoffed, while Nepgeat looked down.
"I know that… but the least I can do is help out… like I can find when a high EM frequency has appeared" she said, as Ryu raised an eyebrow.
"Nepgear… why do you wanna do this so badly? This isn’t like you” Ryu asked, prompting Nepgear to look down and sigh.
"Big Sis has such an important job as the goddess, IF is really important to the guild, Compa helps a lot of people as a nurse and even you're a superhero… I just feel like I'm not that important… I can't even transform yet…."
"Nepgear…" Ryu murmured looking as she turned to her.
"I feel like even doing just a little bit will make me feel like I'm contributing to something…”
Omega-xis peered at her down trodden face before sighing and shaking his head.
"Fine you can help us out, but you better not tell anyone" Omega-Xis said, surprising the two.
“R-Really? T-Thank you! I promise I’ll do my absolute best!” Nepgear grinned, excitedly.
“Omega-xis…” Ryu murmured, while Omega-xis looked down.
“Don’t get the wrong idea, she can be useful to us…simple as that”
“Sure” Ryu smiled, before heard quick footsteps.
"HEY NEPGEAR! RYU! YOU GUYS ALMOST DONE IN THERE!" Neptune yelled, bursting into the room as Ryu shut the Transer.
"Oh right big sis, we're just about done here!" Nepgear smiled, standing back up.
For some reason Neptune smirked when she saw us and moved back.
"What are you two doing alone like this? Nothing pervy I hope~~~"
"B-BIG SIS!" "N-NEPTUNE!" We yelled simultaneously making Neptune giggle.
"I'm just kidding, you guys better get ready before Histy gets angry again" She said, leaving the room with Nepgear following.
Balcony
Third person P.O.V.
After the ceremony we see Purple Heart smiling warmly, as she looked at her nation's lights throughout the city .
'Such, a beautiful nation…' she smiled, looking at the night sky before closing her eye 'I should turn back now, before I run out of energy.”
"Whoop-Dee-woo! We did it guys!" Neptune cheered, returning to her energetic self with a jump into the air alongside a cheeky smile and a peace sign.
"And now you're a bite sized idiot again" Black Heart sighed, returning to normal.
"Oh come on Noire, you know you love me" Neptune grinned, elbowing Noire's arm making her roll her eyes.
"Whatever" she scoffed, but had a bit of red on her cheeks.
"Anyway what did you think of my speech Noire" she asked, as Noire looked at her,
"It was adequate I suppose, but I'm certain Histoire made it for you" she stated, making Histoire blink.
"Huh?."
"Either way, I'm still pissed that you had to take the attention from our moment!" White Heart scoffed, returning to normal.
"Aww come on Blanc, I won my chance to give the speech fair and square!."
"Don't be smug, it was just rock, paper, scissors" Blanc said in her usual monotone voice, as Green Heart returned to normal,
"Well, we did all agree~ so no use bickering over it after the fact."
"For real! Cause we've all got our Brother Bands at max level right?" Neptune smiled, as she spun around and gives all her friends a drink.
She then raised her own glass with a smile "So let's have toast for Gamindustri's future!"
"Here, here" they said, all clinking their glasses together.
'I'm sure this is the beginning of a productive future!' Histoire thought, before noticing someone missing.
"Wait, where's Ryu?" Histoire realised, as they then began looking around noticing the boy missing.
"Why is that kid always disappearing at random times" Blanc question, with a raised eyebrow as IF nodded.
"Yeah it's kinda weird."
"A-Actually I think I saw him go to his room so I guess he just didn’t want to disturb us” Nepgear lied, not actually knowing where he was.
“Well Imma go tell him to come on down! This is the best night of the last century in the literal most VIP spot! Why miss it!” Neptune grinned about to leave.
“Now Neptune, just leave him be. Don’t forget we are all strangers to him and he is still a child” Vert smiled stopping her.
“Yeah! Besides who needs a dumb dumb like him!” Ram grinned, crossing her arms.
“Jeez fine, but I swear I’ll get him Brother Bands with the rest of us! Just watch!” Neptune grinned, not realising that Ryu was above them on one of the wave roads in his Rockman form.
"Heh, I'm glad that this fighting has finally ended" Rockman smiled, as Omega-Xis sighed.
"I never would have thought that these four nations would have been fighting.”
"Yeah, it's been slowing down after the Satellites were made, there's been a few conflicts but it hasn't officially ended until now" Rockamn explained
"Well hopefully the EM virus attacks will slow down with the nations United" Omega-xis mentioned with Ryu nodding.
But what they didn't notice was an Merged FM-Ian on the wave road above them, it was hard to see them but we could see that one was Black and the was White.
"So this is Gamindustri?" Black said, looking around the city “Some kind of celebration going on?”
"Yes, they recently united the nations" White explained, this one being a female “But it doesn’t matter if they’re now united…the collapse will still come eventually…”
“Hmph, and before that happens…we will crush them” Black followed up, grasping his hand.
A few weeks later.
Planeptune High
Ryu P.O.V.
"And done," Mr. Sheplar smiled, closing the book he was holding. "Have a good weekend everyone”
It's been about a month since Neptune and the rest signed the friendship treaty.
Nepgear was able to create a device to detect EM viruses while Neptune… well she hasn't really been doing anything.
'Histy's probably gonna be yelling at her again' I sighed, finishing up my packing,before I heard Luna and the others talking about something.
"I can't wait for her concert!" Luna gushed into her Transer.
"Yeah, She's so pretty!" Bud said, as Zack nodded "The tickets should be coming up sometime this weekend."
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked, walking up to them as they looked at me.
"Oh Ryu, we were just talking about this concert we wanted to go to" Luna grinned, as I raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah? Do you mean 5pb?" I asked, but she shook her head.
"No it's this new singer from Planeptune, Aika Hibiki, she's been getting really popular lately. She's even as good as 5pb" Luna said, showing me a picture.
She had short pink hair with green eyes and was wearing a pink hoodie and green shorts as well blue long boots and a large yellow guitar that looked like it could work as a Transer as well.
"Huh, she looks kinda familiar" I muttered, looking at her trying to remember where I’ve seen her before.
"Well you have been all over Gamindustri right? Maybe you've seen her on TV somewhere?" Zack wondered.
"Yeah, maybe…” I mumbled, still trying to figure it out before I shook my head.
"Anyway I gotta go, see ya" I waved, grabbing my bag and walking off from the classroom.
"You seem to have gotten more used to those humans" Omega-Xis noted, as I opened up the Transer.
"Yeah I guess I have" Suddenly I heard a notification on my Transer from Nepgear "Huh, what's this?”
'Ryu! I found some EM viruses attacking the Mailing building!' It said, as I nodded.
"Alright, ready Omega-Xis" I asked, running towards a corner hiding into a secluded part of the school.
"Yeah, let's get buck wild!" he grinned, as I raised the Transer arm into the air.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" I yelled as the Transer began shining before Omega-Xis appeared behind me and engulfed me transforming us into Rockman.
"Alright, let's go" I nodded, changing my frequency before jumping towards the wave road and rocketing towards the mailing building.
After a few minutes of flying we arrived at the mailing building where the situation was just as bad as Nepgear described.
The packages were being thrown around in several directions while the workers scrambled to try and fix the problem.
As they were, we could see that the building was filled with tons of EM Viruses.
"Alright, let's go Omega-Xis" I then rushed towards them as Omega-Xis began blasting them.
Some of the ZapAces rushed towards me to try and attack but I pulled out a battle card and threw it into the air.
" BATTLE CARD PREDATION! CANNON! " Omega-Xis ate the card transforming into a cannon and aimed at the ZapAce's before blasting the viruses and deleting them.
I then spun around and kicked one of the viruses towards a machine, deleting it when it hit the machine before I pulled out another battle card and threw it into the air.
" BATTLE CARD PREDATION! GRAND WAVE!" I yelled, swinging my arms sending a wave of energy deleting the last couple of viruses.
“Did that do it?” I questioned, looking over as the machinery finally started to settle down a bit.
“Thank goodness, we actually managed to fix it.” We then turned into energy before flying off back to the Basilicom.
Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"It's been an entire month and you still haven't done your CPU job at all!" Histoire yelled, as Neptune played a game on a bean bag.
"SONIC JUMP!... aw dang it."
"Are you even listening to me!" Histoire yelled, as Neptune turned to her with an innocent smile.
"Hey even a goddess needs a break, right~~~?."
"A break from what!! All you've done is sleep and play games" Histoire screeched, right as Nepgear walked in.
"Neptune, the tea is ready" Nepgear said, as Neptune turned to her little sister.
"Sweet! Thanks Nepgear" Neptune said, as Nepgear placed the two cups on the floor "So wanna play some PVP?"
"Neptune… Nepgear… let's see you play games…NOW!" Histoire yelled, ripping the plug out of the socket before spinning the plug around.
"HEY IT SAID IN THE USER MANUAL NOT TO DO THAT!" Neptune yelled, before ducking out of the way of Histoire's spinning.
"Don't do this at home boys and girls.”
"I'm back" Ryu said, as Histoire let go of the plug making it crash right next to Ryu "AH!"
Meanwhile outside we see IF walking towards the large building on the Holographic road while checking one of her many phones.
"IFFY!"
“Hmm?” she then turned around and smiled, seeing walking down the EM created road towards her.
"Oh Compa, did you just get off work?" She asked, and the nurse nodded "Yup, now I'm just gonna go and see Nep-Nep."
"Okay, I guess I'll come with you then" IF asked, as they walked up to the blue haired girl.
"We don't need a world with goddesses, we can live our lives with regulation and-AH!” The blue haired girl yelped, as she knocked into Compa. "S-Sorry"
“Ah wait!” Compa quickly called but the girl had already ran off but not before dropping one of the papers, which Compa picked up and turned her head in confusion.
Sharacite room
Third person P.O.V.
Neptune, Nepgear, and Histoire were currently in a dark chamber where a power-symbol shaped crystal was held there.
This was the Share Crystal or Sharacite, the crystal was supposed to emit a bright light, but at that moment, it didn't.
Ryu was not allowed to come in, because only trusted personnel were allowed in here.
"Take a look at this!" Histoire told the two sisters as they moved up closer to the fairy making her blush "At the Share Crystal, not me!"
"What about it?" Nepgear asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"The amount of Share energy gathered in our country's Share Crystal is currently showing a downward trend," she explained, putting on some glasses and showing them a graph.
"What are you talking about? We've still got plenty left don't we?" Neptune asked, as a tick mark appeared on Histoires head .
"NO WE DON'T! DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHERE SHARE'S COME FROM!."
"Uhhhhhh…uuuuuuummmmm…" Neptune said, scratching her head as Nepgear placed a hand on her chin.
"It's like an energy that comes from the feelings of trust that the citizens place on the CPU who rules them, like their faith in Neptune and me?" Nepgear guessed.
"Yes exactly, which means the hearts of the people are starting to drift away from Neptune, which is no wonder really" Histoire sighed, surprising Neptune.
"What, but I haven't done anything to make them hate me."
"Well… you haven't really done anything to make them like you either" Nepgear pointed, which shocked Neptune.
"Wait what?!" Neptune gasped, before grasping her heart “GAH! Max Damage from my Little Sisters burn!
"Oh! I um I mean, uh..." Nepgear scrambled, trying to rephrase her words as IF and Compa walked in.
"Nepgear's right and you know it" IF frowned, walking in alongside Compa.
"Please excuse us Ms Histoire, but we overheard you talking" IF said, but Histoire shook her head.
"Of course, you and Compa are always welcome in here" Histoire smiled but Neptune was surprised.
"Your siding with Histy too Iffy? At least Compa still loves me right" Neptune asked, moving back up
"Well Nep-Nep…" she smiled, lifting up the paper she got from the blue haired girl "She has a point."
"We don't need goddesses?" Neptune blinked, reading the paper shocking Histoire as Compa smiled creepily.
"So in order to make these people understand you, you need to work much harder at your job, Nep-Nep."
"Ah, everyones against me, I'm in a major pinch!" Neptune cried, making Histoire growl.
"IT'S THIS COUNTRY OF YOURS THAT'S IN A MAJOR PINCH! NOT ONLY DO YOU REFUSE TO DO ANY WORK BUT YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S STEALING THE PEOPLE'S FAITH."
"Wait! What you talking about Histy? Who's taking my people's faith" Neptune asked, making Histoire sigh.
"Look at this" Histoire pulled up several pictures and videos of Rockman fighting viruses, saving people or when he fought Cygnus Wing and Taurus Fire.
"This Rockman that has recently appeared has been helping people and stopping dangerous threats ever since he first appeared, because of this more and more people are putting their faith in him than you" she explained, surprising the others.
"W-Well I'm sure he's just doing this to help people and didn’t intend to take people's Faith" Nepgear smiled, remembering Rockman's true identity.
"Even then, he should realise that there are people for this like the Satellite police or the guild" IF scoffed, looking at Rockman.
"Anyway Neptune, you shouldn't forget that you're one of the goddesses that are supposed to work tirelessly for their people, why do you think you have those powers of yours" Histoire lecture, making Neptune pout.
"As a wiseman once said, with great power comes great-blah blah blah blah blah”
'Aw man, I hate getting lectured. I wonder if I can just run away…WAIT OF COURSE!' Neptune thought, before standing up and pointing her finger into the air.
"I'M GONNA GET SOME SCHOOLING ON THE GODDESS ARTS!"
"Huh?" Histoire blinked, looking at Neptune "Okay but schooling from who?"
"From Uh….NOIRE!" "WHAT?!" Everyone except Neptune yelled at the same time.
"Time for a Lastation Vacation."
A few hours later
Ryu P.O.V.
"Man, I'm bored" I sighed, laying on the couch watching tv.
Apparently Neptune and the others went to Lastation so Neptune could learn how to become a better CPU… without inviting me… I'm not jealous.
"You've been fighting the EM viruses for a while now, you should at least take a break at least" Omega-Xis pointed out, as I moved around on the couch.
"Yeah, I guess you're right.” I nodded, before I heard the phone ringing as I moved up and grabbed it "Hello?."
"Oh hello Ryu" I heard one of the Basilicom Workers say "We seem to have accidentally got sent several packages that were meant to be brought all over Gamindustri."
"Huh, why would they all be sent… here" I muttered, remembering the machine I accidentally threw a virus at.
'Oh no…' I thought, before shaking my head "Bring them up here I'll watch them until Neptune comes back.”
"I think this may have been my fault" I sighed, covering my face as Omega-Xis looked at me.
"What are you talking about?" Omega-Xis asked, as I looked at him in my Transer.
"Remember that virus I threw at the machine? I think it might have messed up the deliveries and it was automatically sent here.”
"Well if that was the extent of the damage then they should be thankful you stopped them" he scoffed, as I looked down.
"Still I'm responsible for what happened, I should bring those packages to their right places besides some of them could be perishable so I can't just wait for Neptune and Nepgear to fix it" I explained, as the elevator door opened revealing a large white box with many packages inside.
"Sometime you're too nice Ryu" Omega-Xis sighed.
"Well that's what a hero's gotta do" I told him before raising my Transer " EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!."
With a bright flash of green light I transformed into Rockman and picked up the box before flying from the window towards the wave road with my hand staying physical so I can carry the boxes
"Alright! Rockman express is a go!."
Lastation
Third person P.O.V.
"I still don't get it, why exactly is my neighbouring Goddess napping in my Basilicom?" Noire asked, as Neptune was trying to sleep on a chair while Nepgear, Compa and IF watched.
"Oh just ignore me and keep doing your work, I don't mind" Neptune yawned, trying to go to sleep much to the annoyance of Noire.
"WELL I DO!"
"We're so sorry" Nepgear apologized, trying to wake her sister up "Come on Neptune, didn't you come here to try and become a better CPU.
"Yeah about all that, no thanks" Noire declined, crossing her arms "I don't intend to help out any of my enemies on doing their job."
"What are you talking about Noire? We signed the friendship treaty so now we're like best buds right?" She said, as Noire scoffed.
"It doesn't change the fact that we're still competing over Share Energy so by that logic you're still my enemy" Noire pointed out making Neptune pout
"Bah! Why do you gotta be such a jerk all the time, see this is why you'll always be the friendless lonely heart" Neptune said, with a smirked making Noire growl with a tick mark on her head.
"I-I do too have a friend!" Noire yelled, making Neptune smirk.
"Oh yeah~ then what's her name?" Neptune asked, with a smug look on her face.
"Huh? Oh well uh, you don't know her so…" Noire stuttered, trying to think of a name as the elevator door opened revealing Uni.
"Hey Noire, I finished these documents for you" Uni smiled., as Noire turned to her.
"Oh thanks, just put them on my desk.” Noire told her, pointing over to her desk.
"My job uh…" Uni said, making Noire and the other look at her "I did it pretty fast right? We're really hard as well."
"It was average, but it was still an improvement for you" Noire told her, making Uni look down as Neptune looked at her.
"Wait… was Uni that mysterious friend you were talking about Noire? Cause little sisters are little sisters they don't count as friends" she grinned, walking up to Noire.
"O-Of course I have other friends" she blushed, making Neptune smirk.
"Oh really? Then who! Cause you still look like a lonely loner to me "" Then you need to get your eyes checked!."
As this was going on, Nepgear noticed Uni sadly putting the papers on the desk before walking off, as she followed her.
Pond
Third person P.O.V.
We see Uni sitting on a bench, with a frown on her face as she looks at her reflection in the pond but then she notices someone else and looks up to see Nepgear.
"Nepgear..." She murmured, looking at her friend as she walked up to her.
"Hey Uni, are you alright?" She asked, as Uni looked down "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Sorry about Neptune, she kinda hijacked you're conversation with your sister" Nepgear apologised, but Uni shook her head
"No it's alright, it probably would've turned out the same anyway" Uni sighed, as Nepgear looked at her friend.
"What do you mean?" Nepgear asked, looking worried
"It's like she has this rule where she'll only compliment me if I do a better job than her" she said, looking down. "But we both know that's not possible..."
“Uni…” Nepgear frowned, looking down.
"I mean I can't even transform into my goddess form yet! And with Rockman guy go around now it’s like I’m getting over shadowed"
"That's nothing to feel bad about, none of us candidates can yet" Nepgear told her.
Uni smiled at that before turning her head "Well I suppose I'll just have to transform before any of you three can to prove my superiority, how's that."
"Good but you better hurry or I'll beat you" Nepgear smiled, before her transer began beeping "Huh?"
"A message from Ram? It says she knows I'm in Lastation but how did she know" Nepgear said, as Uni smiled.
"Sorry I couldn't resist, she was pretty annoyed when I told her" Uni laughed, with a smile on her face.
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
Rockman and Omega-Xis rocketed through the wave road as Rockman carried the packages in his hand "Wow, this is much faster than I expected."
"We can't bring something this big into the wave world but one or two boxes should be fine" Omega-Xis said.
"Alright, well looks like the next one is two a miss Falcom" Rockman read, as he landed at her address.
"Um excuse me" Rockman called, knocking on the door and waiting for a few seconds.
"Oh coming!" he heard, as Falcom ran up and opened the door.
Falcom has short red hair that is cut above shoulder length with a silver headband on the top and orange eyes. She wore a white tank top with a belt-buckle around the hemline under a light blue jacket with white coloring on the inside part of the sleeves, pale yellow lining, and big cuffs. She also had a blue and white skirt and brown boots and knee high socks.
"Oh you're that Rockman guy I've heard on the news?" She blinked, crossing her arms "What are you doing here? Challenging me?”
"Oh well I have a package for you" Rockman told her, handing her a large box.
"Oh! My new Violin Case! Thanks, my old ones have been getting a bit worse for wear so I need a new one to hold my sword."
‘She keeps her Sword in a Violin case?’ Rockman thought, while handing her a sheet he got from the delivery building after explaining the mistake to them.
She finished signing and Rockman nodded before picking the box up and flying off "Huh, not bad kid bet he's good in a fight"
"Alright, so where next?" Omega-Xis asked, as Rockman looked at the list.
"Well it looks like a lot of those are for Lowee, most of them for someone called Gust, so, let's go there" Rockman said, as the flew off towards Lowee to meet with Gust.
After a few minutes of flying we eventually arrived at the snowy country as we made our way to the address.
Omega-Xis held one of Gust's packages in his mouth as Rockman raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, does that smell funny to you too?" Rockman asked, as Omega-Xis nodded "Yeah, it does smell really funny."
After a bit of flying they found a large mushroom shaped shop with the sign GUST'S SHOP. They two landed on the ground and knocked on the door of the shop.
"Excuse me, I have a delivery!" Rockman called, as the door quickly opened up.
When the door opened he saw a small girl that he guesses was Gust. She is short with brown eyes and medium length brown hair. Her attire consists of a blue apron like dress with a large pocket on the front used for storing alchemy materials and possibly other things. On her head she wears a large hat that appears to have bunny ears along with giant large white gloves to match.
"Huh? Who are you" Gust asked, as Rockman placed down the large box,
"Um hi I'm Rockman and I guess I'm here to give you your delivery" He explained, making her eyes widen.
"Really! My materials are here" she said, grabbing all of her parcels which were mostly plants and stuff to make potions and other things.
"Thank you!" She said, signing the sheet before she closed the door as Rockman jumped up and flew off.
"How much more?" Omega-Xis asked, as Rockman looked at the list.
"We have a delivery to the Basilicom and then just a few in Planeptune and Lastation" I said, as Omega-Xis nodded,
“Good, the faster we get this done the better.”
Lowee Bascilicom
Third person P.O.V.
Meanwhile in the Lowee Basilicom we see Blanc working on her computer while Rom and Ram, with the Twins not exactly being happy after hearing the news.
“Nepgear and Uni must be having such a fun time getting to hang out together” Rom frowned, as she looked at the ground.
“Why can’t we go visit other countries on our own!” Ram yelled, annoying Blanc as she gripped her mou
“Maybe if you weren’t so selfish and loud you’d be allowed to go” Blanc answered, continuing to work.
“But I wanna go hang out with Nepgear and Uni too!” Ram complained, stomping her feet.
“I have work to do, just go and play on your own” Blanc told her, making Ram growl.
“GOD! You suck! You suck! You suck!!!” Ram yelled, causing Blanc to grip her mouse tighter while Rom stood up.
“WILL YOU SHUT UP! I SAID I’M BUSY DIDN’T I!!!” Blanc yelled, turning around and slamming her fist, before freezing up after seeing her sister's expressions.
“You’re a big jerk you know that” Ram frowned, before turning around “Come on Rom.”
“Ram, wait!” Rom called, running after her sister.
Blanc looked guilty for a bit as she turned back to the computer “Sorry you had to see all of that.”
“Oh don’t worry about it” Vert smiled, as the two were having a video chat “In fact I’m quite envious, we’ve been fighting for so long but seeing how innocent the sisters are is honestly quite nice.”
“And they’re so close too, maybe we should start acting like that” Vert smiled, but Blanc only sighed.
“Just because we stopped using battle to gather Shares doesn’t mean we can just become friends overnight, we’re still rivals at the end of the day” Blanc denied, as Vert signed. “More importantly…”
“Ah yes of course, but before we start it looks like you have a little visitor.” Vert smiled.
“Huh?” Blanc blinked, turning around to see Rockman phasing through the walls.
“Rockman?!” she gasped, quickly getting up and summoning her weapon.
“Ah! Good afternoon Lady White Heart!” he greeted, with a quick bow “I’m here to deliver something to you!”
“A delivery? she blinked, as Rockman walked up and handed her a package of different books she had ordered “When did you start doing Deliveries.”
“When this guy accidentally damaged the computer system in the Post Office and because he’s so nice, he decided it was best to spend our day off flying all around this planet delivering Packages” Omega-xis explained.
“I…see…” Blanc sweatdropped, while signing the Package.
“Aw how disappointing, perhaps I should have ordered something to get you to visit me too” Vert smiled, making Rockman blush a bit.
“But why did you go through the walls and not give it to one of the workers” Blanc asked.
“Ah well I was going to but Lady Rom and Lady Ram were the ones who answered, and well…” “They started fangirling over him and quickly swarmed him, even tried to drag him to their room so they could ‘keep’ him, and well.”
“WHERE DID YOU GO! WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE SOMEWHERE ROCKMAN!”
“I should probably go and deliver the rest of the Packages, it’s nice to meet you again Lady White Heart! And you too Lady Green Heart” he said before quickly flying off and phasing through the roof.
“Well that was certainly a pleasant surprise,” Vert smiled, as Blanc crossed her arms.
“Her certainly is a mystery…”
Lastation plains
Third person P.O.V.
After a while of Neptune failing to do Noire's jobs, IF suggested they went on a monster hunting quest and Noire agreed, getting two quests one near a village and one in a nearby cave.
"We'll be clearing the monster in two places, the Nasanue Highlands and the Tamogore caves, neither of which are-" "Hey Sis… no ones listening"
Noire blinked as she looked back to see everyone had stopped their trek through the forest.
"I'm too pooped to move" Compa groaned, sitting on a log as IF sighed.
“Hey Iffy…” "I'm fresh out of piggy backs" IF quickly answered.
"Woah Nep Jr look at this! It's the legendary sign that you can't read from behind!" Neptune yelled, pointing at a sign.
"I think all signs are like that Big Sis" Nepgear sweatdropped.
"WILL YOU PEOPLE GET MOVING!" Noire yelled, moving in ahead as Neptune pouted.
"Geez Noire you don't have to be so loud" Neptune pouted making Noire growl
They continued their march with Noire poking Neptune with a stick to keep her moving. "Your walking too slow"
"Oh come on, you’re like all business all the time aren't you" Neptune pointed out
"Is that a problem?" Noire asked, with a raised eyebrow as Neptune smirked.
"Doesn't it tire you out, being so boring all the time" Neptune grinned, poking her sides.
"I just want to make my country as great as I can" Noire said, as Neptune looked at her.
"Well yeah, I wanna make my country great as well but isn't it better if it's fun?."
"I don't see what's fun about failure especially if there are no Shares out of it" Noire scoffed, before they heard voices as Noire ran ahead to see a bunch of people of a village cheering for her, making Noire smile as she waved to her people.
"Oh whoops!" She gasped, before closing her eyes.
"Access!" She yelled, her body shining.
"What! You're transforming already?" Neptune said, surprised.
When the flash died down she was in her Goddess form, Black Heart, who smirked as she turned towards her fellow goddess.
"Rule number two of being a CPU, you should always let your people bear full witness to your majesty" she smirked, flying towards her people "Ladies, would you mind telling me the monsters that are troubling you."
After a few minutes, they were at the site, which was filled to the brim with slimes with dog features called Dogoo's.
"This is the Nasanue Highlands correct?" Black Heart asked, and the villager nodded "Yes, we've been overrun with Dogoo's and we don't have any way to slay them.”
"There's no need to worry, Miss Neptune and Miss Nepgear from the neighbouring country have offered to deal with them for you" she explained, surprising everyone.
"Nep Wha! I gotta fight!...” Neptune gawked, before sighing “Well it doesn't look too hard I guess."
"Rule number 3, show off whenever you can" Black Heart stated, as Uni walked up to them.
"I'll record for you than we can make a PR reel" Uni explained, holding up a camera making Neptune sigh,
"Aw man, now we gotta grind, well these guys are so weak you can beat them with a Magikarp" she shrugged jumping towards the field while summoning her katana.
"Let's do this thing!" She yelled, pulling the sword out of it's scabbard "Ready, Nep Jr!" .
"Right!" Nepgear nodded, summoning her beam sword and they both ran down the hills and began slashing Dog's left and right, with Neptune slashing first before Nepgear ran in and slashed as well.
"Nice Nep Jr! Guess it runs in the family!" Neptune grinned holding up a peace sign.
They continued fighting with Uni taking pictures with Nepgear's tablet device but it was clear they were getting surrounded.
"There are just too many of them" IF frowned, as Compa looked at her.
"Then let's get stomping Iffy!" She said, as they began running down the hills much to the surprise of Black Heart.
IF summoned her Qatar's as Compa pulled her weapon which was a large syringe weapon.
IF slashed a couple down before more of the Dogoos attacked from behind, forcing the girl to do a spin slash killing the Dogoo’s.
“Here’s your shot” Compa smiled, stabbing her syringe into one making it explode.
"They’re just a trash mobs, this is a piece of cake" Neptune grinned, slicing some of the Dogoo’s in half.
“Huh? What there?!” Neptune yelped, as the Dogoo's jumped into the air before darting towards her “GAH! HOMING SHOT?!”
"Uh, Sis, maybe we should help out?" Uni asked, turning to her sister who just watched.
"No, it's meaningless if they accomplish this for themselves." Black Heart denied crossing her.
The Dogoo's began jumping, sticking and licking them "Hahaha! That tickles stop it!"
Even more Dogoo’s began spawning as they overwhelmed the girls, dozens all coming down towards them.
"AAAAHHHH!" IF yelled, throwing a bunch off of her "ALRIGHT YOU LITTLE BASTARD I'M GONNA KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!"
IF went into full rage mode using several of her attacks like Heaven's Demon or Demons Flame on them.
As this was going on Black Heart scoffed "Neptune, you're not even trying are you?."
Meanwhile in Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
"Alright, just a few more Packages" Rockman smiled, as they flew on the wave road.
"Thank god, we've been doing this all day, well where's next?" Omega-xis asked, as Ryu looked at the package list.
"Huh, there?." he blinked when he saw the name on the Package.
Over at a large mansion we see Luna reading a magazine while laying sprawled on the couch "I'm so bored”
"I wish something interesting would happen" she frowned, looking at the horoscope section "Let's love horoscopes for Leo’s, 'the love of your life will visit you unexpectedly' Huh?."
Suddenly the bell started ringing as Luna sat up and rubbed her head. "Hey, could someone get that!"
The bell continued ringing however making Luna frown "Man, where is everyone"
Walking up and opening the door, Luna gasped out of sheer shock at seeing who it was "You!"
"Hi special deliever-" "ROCKMAN, IT'S YOU!" Rockman tried to say before being cut off by Luna.
She then grabbed Omega-Xis's head and began pulling him in, which annoyed the Alien. “H-HEY!”
"Please come in and have some tea" she smiled, much to the surprise of Rockman.
"Wow, Luna's house is really big," Rockman muttered, looking around as he waited for Luna to come back.
"Hurry up and make the delivery already" Omega-Xis sighed but then Luna ran in and began taking pictures of him at different angles.
"Um, excuse me, could you sign the receipt?" He asked, with a sweatdrop as Luna moved in close.
"Oh wow, Rockman's even cool at this angle" she grinned, with hearts in her eyes “Of course you look good in every angle after all!”
"So um… if I could just get your signature then I could be on my w-""Pardon me~~~" she cut him off and sat on his lap, before aiming the camera at the two of them.
"Ready smile~~~" She grinned, as she began taking selfies of the two of them.
Suddenly beeping came from the camera as Luna looked close "What? My memory card is already filled up? But I never use this thing."
"Um, anyway…" Rockman said, with a sweatdrop as Luna looked at him.
"Yes, what is it?" She asked, moving closer making Rockman blush.
"C-Could you please sign for this?." he asked, pointing to the receipt
"Of course I will silly!" She smiled.
“Great thank you" he sighed, as she looked at him.
"I hope I haven't been keeping you too long." Luna asked, as she got off of him.
"Nah, I just got a few more deliveries in Lastation to do" He explained.
"Good, then guess you're not in much of a hurry." "Well actually some of them are perishable so…" "You should enjoy some nice hot tea with me! I think we got some biscuits as well~"
"Be back in a Jiffie~~" "W-Wait! The receipt!" Rockman yelled, but she was already gone.
"We should come back for it and deliver the rest" Omega-Xis suggested, and Rockman nodded.
"Yeah, let's go" he nodded, before they turned into energy and flew off.
"Alright here they are, some nice warm tea and some specially made biscuits all the way from Lowee!" Luna sung, only to find Rockman gone.
"Huh? Guess he had to go to the bathroom…."
A while later.
Lastation Basilicom
Ryu P.O.V.
"Okay, looks like we're at our last delivery besides Luna" I smiled as I landed on the front garden of the Lastation Basilicom.
“Finally, let’s get this over with.”
"Wonder if we'll run into Neptune and the others…" I mumbled, before noticing a gardener working on some of tree's.
He had long black hair with brown eyes and a long horizontal scar on the middle of his face with a few fangs poking out. He wore a white shirt with a green apron with a couple of gardening tools and blue trousers and brown shoes.
"Um, excuse me" I asked, walking up to the man as he turned to me.
"What do you want kid?" He asked, as I gulped.
"I-I have a package for Lady Noire" I told him, causing him to raise an eyebrow.
"Lady Noire? She went on a quest with some other people around Tamogore caves, that a way" he informed us, pointing in the direction of where they were.
"Oh thank you mister um…” "Damian, Damian Wolfe"
"I see! Thank you mister Wolfe, I'll be on my way" I smiled, before jumping on to the wave road and flying away.
"So that was that Rockman kid Lady Noire's always yammering on about, well he didn't seem like a menace to me, just a normal kid" he shrugged, continuing to work on the trees.
Nasanue Highlands
Third person P.O.V.
After IF finished killing the Dogoos, Neptune sat up with her jacket falling down a bit "Man, that was crazy, that settles it I'm never eating jelly again."
"Why didn't you use your goddess form? You could've beaten them easily" Black Heart asked, flying over to Neptune as the Lilac haired goddess looked at her.
"Who cares? It turned out okay right?" Neptune shrugged, with a smile.
"Only because you had other people helping you! This is why your shares are always… you know what, never mind, I'll take care of the rest of this quest on my own."
"Want me to come with you sis?" Uni asked, but Black Heart shook her head.
"I'll be alright, you stay here and try to clean up this mess" Black Heart spreading her wings and flying over to the caves.
"Man, she sure is up tight huh?" Neptune said, before an Idea popped in her head "Oh yeah, hey Uni got any cool pics!."
Uni gave Neptune the device and Neptune looked through the pics to see cool pictures of her and Nepgear fighting the Dogoo.
"So cool, I'll just send these to me!" She said, not realizing she sent the photos to everyone as she noticed someone in the reflection “Wait a sec, is that.”
“Um excuse me” They heard, looking to see Rockman landing on the ground “What happened here?”
“Ry-Rockman” Nepgear blinked.
“Oh hey Rock-dude! What’s up” Neptune grinned, jumping up.
“Ah! It’s nice to see you again Lady Neptune” Rockman smiled, while Uni walked up to him.
“What in the world are you doing here? Are you stalking us or something” IF asked, with a raised eyebrow.
“What! No way!” Rockman denied. “I’m just here to deliver a Package to Lady Noire.”
“When did you start doing deliveries?” Compa asked, turning her head.
“When this guy accidentally damaged the computer system in the Post Office and because he’s so nice, he decided it was best to spend our day off flying all around this planet delivering Packages”
“Oh well if it’s Sis you’re looking for, she just left to go Tamagoro Caves. Probably already there by now” Uni explained.
“Oh great…caves.” Omega-xis frowned.
“What’s wrong with caves?” Rockman asked, while Omega-xis looked at him.
“Em waves don’t exactly do well in places like that, so if we do go in there. We’ll have to walk” Omega-xis explained.
“I mean you could just wait here for her to come back” Uni suggested, but Rockman shook his head.
“Can’t, I still have to get a receipt signed for another person and I don’t want to keep them waiting” Rockman told her before changing frequency and flying off.
“Ooh! I wonder what Noire ordered” Neptune grinned “Imma just go and check this out!”.
“Huh?! Neptune” Nepgear blinked, watching as Neptune ran off to Tamagoro caves as well.
Tamogore Caves
Third person P.O.V.
"Take this!" Black Heart yelled, slashing a monster in half she made her way through the cave.
'Stupid Neptune, how does she expect to be a proper goddess if she's always relying on people to do her job for her.’
She continued flying until she made it to a dead end "A dead end huh? Guess that's a wrap the-huh?”
Suddenly she felt strong rumbling as she turned around to see a large amber coloured dragon.
"That's an ancient dragon!" She gasped, as the dragon roared, shaking the cave a bit but even against this powerful monster Black Heart just smirked "Heh, you might make a bit of a challenge"
"Then how about we even the playing field" she heard, before two shadowy figures dropped down and stabbed her in the back sending a current of electricity to go through her body causing her to scream out in pain before returning to normal.
"W-What… my form.” Noire gasped, looking up to see the shadowy figures on top of the dragon.
"W-Who are you!" Noire yelled, as they smirked. Looking at them, the only thing she could tell was that one was male and one was female, that they had long hair and one large metal arm each, one on the left and the other one on the right.
"We're just some people…" "That don't see eye to eye with you goddesses" They said, at the same time before turning into energy and flying off.
"W-Wait!." Before she could go after them, the ancient dragon roared and began stomping towards her.r.
"Stay back!" She yelled, summoning her rapier before suddenly losing all her energy.
"W-What!" she gasped, dropping her blade and falling to her knees 'What's happening, it feels like I'm being drained...'.
The dragon pulled back its head and began charging energy but before it could attack the weakened Goddess.
" BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! STUN KNUCKLE! ."
“Huh” Suddenly with incredible speed Rockman came in and with a large gauntlet weapon on his arm punched the Ancient Dragon in the face knocking it back and stunning it.
Rockman landed on the ground as the knuckle disappeared and transformed into Omega-Xis's head, before he ran up to Noire.
"You okay, Lady Noire?" Rockman asked, offering a hand.
Noire was surprised at Rockman's sudden appearance before standing up "I didn't need help from someone stealing my moment.”
The Ancient Dragon got back up and roared before running towards the two of them.
“Look out!” Rockman said, firing at the Dragon with the Rock Buster but the attacks deflected off of him.
“Seriously” Rockman blinked, he was about to try a Battle card but then Purple Heart came in and slashed the monster knocking it back.
"NEPTUNE!" "L-LADY PURPLE HEART!" They gasped as Purple Heart looked at them.
"I didn't expect you and Rockman to be so close together. Don’t tell me you were planning something Noire” Purple Heart teased.
"Shut up Neptune!" Noire growled, before turning around "Let's just finish this monster!."
"Huh, looks like she's got an attitude problem" Omega-Xis scoffed, as Noire glared at him.
"What was that Dog face!" "You heard me Raven Eyes!."
"Guys! Guys! Can we please just fight the big dragon already" Rockman groaned, as the two looked away.
"Fine!."
(Play Run around from digimon)
Neptune gripped her blade before dashing towards the Dragon and slashed the Dragons back.
She then flew over it before spinning around a powerful kick at the monster head sending it crashing to the ground.
Noire then came in and using an impressive technique, slashed and stabbed the dragon several time's knocking it back further.
Rockman had Omega-Xis blast the dragon's eyes with a charged shot, trying to blind it while Purple Heart and Noire fought the Dragon.
"We'll have to use a battle card" he frowned., pulling out a card with red grenades on it before throwing it into the air.
"BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! GRENADE!" He yelled, before Omega-Xis ate it.
This summoned a large red ball before he threw it at the dragon causing a large explosion knocking the dragon back but caused the cave to shake.
“Are you trying to bring the whole cave down on us!” Noire yelled, making Rockman jump.
“S-Sorry!”.
“Now now you two, looks like we can finish it off now” she smirked, flying towards the dragon.
" Cross Combination! " She slashed the dragon several times before knocking it into the air and then slashing it towards the ground.
" Lace Ribbon Dance! " Noire yelled, and with a beautiful technique slashed the Dragon several times.
"Let's use our strongest one!" Omega-Xis declared, and Rockman nodded before pulling out three cards and throwing it into the air.
" Battle Card! Predation! Sword! WideSword! LongSword! ."
He first slashed the dragon with the sword, before slashing with the wide sword then the long sword before the three swords combined into one.
" Program Advance! Tri Sword!" The swords combined into one large sword, before he stabbed through the dragon causing it to explode into data.
(End song)
“Phew…that was intense” Rockman landed on the ground, the sword returning to normal.
“Something up?” Omega-xis asked, while Rockman rubbed his head.
“Oh just that that was my first time fighting a monster that wasn’t a Virus…it was really nerve racking.”
He then looked over at Purple Heart and Noire who were staring at each other.
"I-I could have handled that thing on my own you know, I didn't need your help" Noire said, as Neptune floated down next to her.
"Maybe not, but comrades help each other out." Purple Heart smirked.
"We're really more of rivals or enemies" Noire scoffed, looking away as Rockman sweatdropped.
"Do they even notice we're here?"
"Why did you choose to do the quest here anyway?" Purple Heart asked, making Noire's eyes widen.
"Because it's close to your home and I wanted to-" "Since it's so close to Planeptune word of my heroics would have spread fast, you were worried about my shares weren't you? Thank you Noire" Purple Heart smiled, returning to normal.
"Hey Rockman, aren't you forgetting something?" Omega-Xis pointed out, making Rockman's eyes widen.
"Oh right!" He gasped, pulling out the package and walking up to them.
"Lady Noire, I have a delivery for you" he said, handing her the package and when she saw it her eyes widened.
"EH!" She yelled, a blush coming to her face as she quickly grabbed it.
"W-Why do you have something like that!" Noire yelled, as Rockman closed his eyes.
"I-I accidentally messed up the delivery building when I was fighting viruses so as an apology we've been going around all of Gamindustri delivering the package to their proper place!."
"Y-You didn't see what it was, did you?" She asked, and Rockman nodded "Yeah, it says so on this receipt if you could just sign it please that'd be gre-."
Rockman was cut off when Noire quickly grabbed the receipt and signed it before throwing it to him.
"You better not tell anyone! Got it" she yelled, and Rockman nodded before turning around and running off.
"Oh ho, Noire what's that? Something embarrassing I can guess?" Neptune asked, making Noire blush.
"S-Shut up Neptune! It's none of your business!."
"Well then how about I tell everyone about your knight in blue armour, Rockman" she grinned, making Noire's eyes widen.
"You wouldn't!."
"HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT! NOIRE RAN OUT OF ENERGY AND WAS ABOUT TO BE CRUSHED BUT THAN-" "SHUT UP NEPTUNE! I THOUGHT WE WERE COMRADE AND STUFF!"
As they left the cave they didn't notice two hooded figures hiding in the dark one was quite short and the other was taller.
"Dang, I got pretty worried when that Rockman jerk showed up, chu."
"Well whatever, we got what we wanted anyway" The taller figure said, picking up a X shaped crystal that was dark red in colour and was emanating a dark energy.
"Soon our ambition will come to pass," she smirked, lifting the crystal up.
"Though you're right, that Rockman could be an issue for our plan" The taller figure said, before they heard another voice.
"Then I believe I could be of assistance."
The two looked behind them to see Tom Dubius standing there in a long black coat.
"Oh yeah, what can a nerdy guy like you do?" The smaller Figure asked, as he smirked.
"Oh trust me, I can do a lot of things" he smirked, as a shadow of a bird appeared behind him.
Luna's home
Third person P.O.V.
Luna slowly walked back to the door of the room she and Rockman were in, clearly depressed that her crush ran off.
"Oh Rockman, where did you go" she sighed, opening the door to see Rockman with a bag in his hand with something inside.
"Hah! Rockman!" She gasped, running up to him quickly.
"Uh, so could I have the receipt signed?"
"Yes of course!" She smiled, finishing up the signing before giving him the receipt but kissing it right before.
"Alright here you go" she grinned, handing her the package.
"AH! Thank you so much…see ya" he smiled, turning into energy before flying off.
"WAIT! Rockman! Don't go!" She yelled, but he was already gone.
"Well I'm bound to see him again, besides I have something to remember him by" she smiled, opening the package to reveal a Rockman plushie that she hugged before jumping on to the couch.
“Oh Rockman~ I’m sure we’ll be together” She smiled, kissing the plush.
Planeptune Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"Very impressive" Histoire nodded, analysing the Share Crystal as Neptune smiled proudly "I meant Noire not you.”
"Nep-What! Don't hate! I was awesome back there!" Neptune yelled, as Histoire looked at her.
"Previous events show you were useless and not awesome."
"Oh my gosh rude" Neptune pouted, as Histoire looked at the Share crystal.
"Though it's strange, this is a bit more than you should've gotten."
"AAAAAAHHHH!" They heard, before leaving the room to see Nepgear, Ryu, IF and Compa looking at the computer.
"Nepgear what's wrong?" Neptune asked, as Nepgear was blushing.
"Look at these pictures we found" she told them, as they saw pictures of Nepgear being bombarded by Dogoos and others of her covered in slime..
"Oh yeah, these were the pictures I sent to myself," Neptune smiled, as Ryu looked at her.
“Are you sure you didn't send it to the wrong address?."
"Who do you think you're talking to I-… Oh I sent it to the nation wide mailing engine" she said, as IF sighed.
"I thought so"
"On the bright side the comments are very positive." Compa smiled.
"I'm in the fantasy zone?" "Hail to Planeptune" "Planeptune sisters rock? Looks like you got some fans Nepgear, that's greaat" Ryu read, as Nepgear's face turned even more read.
"Well it's not great for me!." Nepgear yelled, covering her face.
"Wow! I know! If the pictures made the shares go up maybe we could take more!" She yelled, taking out her camera before grabbing Nepgear.
"Please do it for your country Nepgear!" She said, before grabbing Ryu “You gotta help too come on!”
“Huh?! Why me too!” Ryu yelped, as the two were dragged by the Goddess.
“Hah, even after all of this things are still as loud as ever” Omega-xis sighed, shaking his head.
Chapter 6: Who let the Wolf out?
Chapter Text
Lastation Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
In the front garden of the Lastation Basilicom, we see Damian Wolfe working on the trees and bushes of the large building.
Noire had instructed him to install this garden as to bring some more colour in the Basilicom but it was mostly to one up Neptune and the others.
As he worked on the gardens he heard someone walking towards him, so he turned around to see Noire's secretary and Lastation Oracle Kei Jinguji.
At first glance, Kei looked like a boy but in actuality she is a girl. She has short silver hair and cobalt blue eyes and wears a black suit-like outfit with a blue tie and black shorts instead of pants. Her legwear consists of below the knee black socks and black shoes with blue line designs and silver circles in the center.
"Well well, hard at work as always" Kei smirked, as Damian looked at the Oracle "Miss Jinguji? What are you doing here?".
"I'm here to give you your pay for the week" she explained, handing Damian a cheque as Damian got off the ladder he was on and reached for the cheque.
"Hold on, I still need one more job for you" she said, making the man blink "Huh really, What?".
"Well because of the EM viruses the delivery vans are now broken, so I have to get some packages and I'll need some help" she explained.
"Could you help me out? I'll give you a bonus if you do" Kei asked, as Damian nodded "Sure I don't see a problem with that".
"Well thank you, I'll meet you at the place on Sunday" Kei said, walking away but then.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NEPTUNE!" They heard Noire scream, making them sweatdrop.
"Looks like there's another problem, I'll just go and check this out" she said, and Damian nodded.
"Alright" Damian turned around to put the last few touches on to the garden not noticing a blue light staring at him.
"That EM frequency…".
Noire's office
Third person P.O.V.
“Oh come on Noire! It's only for the weekend!” Neptune begged, on a screen as a tick mark appeared on Noire's head.
"No means no! Why would I do something like that for you!"
“Say what! I thought we were like comrades and stuff” Neptune pouted, as Noire growled.
"Just because we are comrades doesn't mean I have to do every little job for you.” she yelled, before the door opened.
"Um Lady Noire, what might be the problem?" Kei asked, as Noire turned to her secretary "Oh hey Kei, listen to this".
“I was just asking if Noire could let Ryu stay over for the weekend, he’s got this assignment for his school that involves him going to another Nation and examining the monster and stuff” Neptune explained.
“But it’s going to take awhile, since Me and Nep Jr's got this guest appearance on a concert appearance in a few days we've gotta practice. And Histy a bit too over protective with him so she doesn’t want him making his own way back in the dark”
"Okay but why the whole weekend? That should only take a day” Kei questioned, making Neptune grin.
“Well I thought you guys could try getting to know each other! You know because Noire has no friends "" THAT’S IT HANGING UP!”
“Oh come on Noire! It’s just a joke!”
“Hold on Lady Noire, why don't you just ask any of your friends to watch him? Or the other goddesses?" Kei asked, as Noire nodded "Yeah, why did you ask me?".
“Well Iffy and Compa are busy with their own thing, Blanc just told me to leave her alone, guess she's busy with something and Vert actually said yes and was pretty excited about but then found out she had a raid quest with her guild that would take the whole weekend so she's out.”
"So I'm the last person you have to call on?" Noire asked, and Neptune nodded /
“Yeah so please! I'll do anything!”
"Anything?" 'Anything!' "Anything?" "ANYTHING!'.
Noire sighed and was about to deny Neptune but then I moved in. "Lady Noire would be grateful to let him stay here.”
“REALLY! THAT'S GREAT! You'll love Ryu, he's great with gadgets and stuff and is always helping whenever there's a virus around messing with your games and stuff!" Neptune said, before signing off “I'll go tell him, see ya”
"KEI WHAT THE HECK!" Noire yelled angrily but Kei just smiled.
"Please calm down Lady Noire, there's strategy to this decision, think about it, it'd be useful to have a favour from another Goddess and who knows this Ryu may actually be helpful especially with Lady Uni since besides the other Candidates she doesn’t really have anyone else to hangout with" Kei said, as Noire put her hand on her chin.
"I suppose that's a good point..." Noire mumbled.
"As I said, now if you excuse me I must leave" Kei said, before continuing her work.
Planeptune High
Ryu P.O.V.
“So that's what you'll be doing Ryu” Neptune smiled, as I talked to her on my Transer.
"Okay, I get that but how am I meant to get there.” I asked, walking through the halls of the school.
“Well you can just take the train or something' Neptune shrugged, as I sweatdropped.
"Wow you thought of this so much, well anyway I gotta go" I said before hanging up.
"She really does live in her own little world doesn't she?" Omega-Xis sighed, making me sweat drop.
"Yeah, but hey she's actually doing a job for once so that's good and even helping me with my assignment.” I smiled.
"I guess you're right" Omega-Xis nodded, as we continued walking for somewhere I could eat my lunch.
"Maybe I should've eaten with the others after all… guess I'll head up to the roof" I muttered, walking towards the stairs to get up to the roof but when I did I started hearing someone whistling.
‘What’s that music?’ I blinked, looking over to see one of my upper classmen standing next to the railing whistling to the sky.
This was Jack Sasori, a Third year student who was wearing the school uniform and he had black curly hair and a pair of glasses that made it hard to see his eyes as well as a red Leo Transer.
"Um…" I mumbled, making him jump.
"Huh?" He said, turning around "Oh, a first year? What are you doing here?"
"Oh I just wanted to eat my lunch, mind if I join you?" I asked, and he nodded.
“Sure thing.” he nodded, as I walked over and sat down before opening the lunch Nepgear made.
It was silent between the two of us as I ate my lunch while Jack continued whistling his tune.
“That’s a nice tune,” I smiled, looking at him.
He stopped for a moment and glanced at me with a raised eyebrow but still nodded “Thanks…”
“If you don’t mind…what was the song you were whistling? It was really good" I asked, as he looked at me.
"It was just a little tune my mom used to sing… it's called Melody of the past…she would whistle during late nights when she was working at home” he explained.
"Oh so your mom taught you that huh?" I asked, and he nodded "My dad was really into stars, he taught about a bunch of different constellations and EM waves.”
“I see…” he nodded “I’m guessing you want to be a researcher like him.”
"Well actually, I wanna become an astronaut and go to space" I explained, looking up "What about you?"
“Hmm, that’s something I’d like figured out as well…you’re lucky already knowing what you wanna do” Jack told me as I looked at him.
“You mean, you don’t have it figured out?” I asked, and he nodded.
“That’s right, my best guess is working for the guild or becoming an engineer like my grandfather” Jack guessed “But who knows, maybe I can become a Hero like Rockman.”
"A hero?" I asked, and he nodded.
"Yeah… I was always into super hero manga and anime as a kid. And with that Rockman guy showing up as well as more and more people like him who knows maybe I can get the power and become a hero as well.” he smirked, before sighing “For now though, I’m just aimless.”
“You sound like you really like that Rockman guy, don’t you?” I asked, as he smiled and sat down.
"Well yeah, I always thought that only the goddesses were able to have powers like those but seeing him made me think maybe there's even a way I could be like that…" he mumbled, before smirking “But I’m probably just being stupid.”
“Don’t say that!” I exclaimed, standing up “My dad used to say you shouldn’t look down on something you want to do, even if it seems ridiculous.”
Jack raised an eyebrow as he looked over at me before smirking “Sounds like your dad was quite the idealist…it’s not a bad thing though.”
We then heard the bell start ringing "Oh we should get to class, better hurry up with that lunch of yours.”
“AH! You’re right!” I gulped, quickly eating my lunch while Jack left.
Lastation
Third person P.O.V.
"Guess I should head back now" Damian sighed, rolling his shoulder and grabbing his bag of tools before leaving the Lastation Basilicom.
'I heard that they'll be watching someone from the Planeptune Basilicom, some kid they’re watching… I wonder who he is…' Damian thought, not noticing someone following him.
'Hehe, now's my chance!' The figure grinned, as he stalked Damian.
He was a FM-Ian with a mostly blue body with brown armour on his front legs and wolf head and a blue armour chest. This was the FM-Ian wolf.
He then turned into a ball of energy and rushed towards Damian entering his body causing a bright shine.
When Damian opened his eyes he was in some kind of space with the FM-Ian wolf in front of him.
"What! Where am I! Who are you!" Damian yelled, as Wolf smirked.
"I am Wolf! And this is my body now!" He roared before engulfing Damian whole.
"NOOOO!".
"EM WAVE CHANGE! DAMIAN WOLFE! ON AIR!".
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?" Histoire asked, as Ryu stood in front of the elevator with his stayover bag.
"It'll be fine Histoire, I'll only be there for two days" Ryu told her “I just need to do a few sketches of some monsters I’ll be fine.”
Histoire sighed at this but still nodded "I know I'm just worried".
"Well I'll be going then" Ryu smiled, walking into the elevator and pressing the button.
"WAIT ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING LI-".
"She seems a bit overprotective with you, don't you think?" Omega-Xis asked, as Ryu smiled.
"Leave her alone Omega-Xis, she was a friend of my parents so of course she'll be worried".
"Hmph fine, for now let's transform now" Omega-Xis said, confusing Ryu.
"Huh? Why should we do it now?" Ryu asked, as Omega-xis looked at the Youngman
"Did you forget or something, we can just make it to Lastation in minutes in the Wave world.”
"Oh right! Well let's do it!" Ryu smiled, before raising his Transer .
"EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" Omega-xis appeared behind me and engulfed me, forming into a green energy tornado that combined the two
into Rockman.
Rockman passed through the elevator and jumped on top of the Wave road "Alright, you ready Omega-Xis"
"How about this, we'll use this as training. Let's see if you can make it to Lastation in under 3 minutes" he smirked.
"Alright, let's go!" With that Rockman turned into a green light and rocketed towards Lastation.
I continued to fly towards Lastation and was actually making some decent time but as we flew a sudden car was thrown into the air as Ryu phased through it.
"Huh?!" Rockman blinked., suddenly stopping as he looked up to see people in the car.
"Oh no! We need to help them!" Rockman yelled, changing his frequency to rush in and catch the car as he landed on the ground.
Placing the car back down, Rockman opened the door and helped the people out “You guys okay?”
"T-Thank you" “You saved us!” “You’re a hero!” “I thought we were” They thanked me as Rockman smiled.
"It's alright but it’s still not safe, you all should go" Rockman told them, and they nodded before quickly running off.
Rockman then turned around to see an FM-Ian rampaging through the streets with Omega-Xis growling.
“Omega-xis, do you know this guy?” Rockman asked, looking at him.
"Wolf" The alien growled.
Wolf looked like a large hulking Wolf with a black body covered by dark turquoise pieces of armor on his wolf-like head, arms, legs, shoulders, and chest with orange trims on them. His hands and feet were tipped with long blade-like claws and a long turquoise tail and silver spikes on their knees. Their ankles, wrists, and chest were trimmed with silver. Their eyes were blood red and their silver snout was armed with razor sharp teeth as they clearly displayed. The emblem for the Lupus constellation appeared on their chest armor in gold.
"Wolf?" Rockman asked, as Omega-xis looked up at me.
"Yeah, he's one of wilder FM-Ian’s. I suggest using fire attacks on him" he told him, and Rockman nodded before rushing towards the FM-Ian.
"Stop!" Rockman yelled, charging a blast before firing at the FM-Ian which didn't do much aside from catching his attention.
He turned around to look at Rockman while growling at him.
"You better let him go!" Rockman warned, charging up a blast but instead of replying to him, the best just gripped his head in pain.
"GAROOH! " He howled, before leaping towards Rockman.
"Woah!" Rockman yelped, jumping out of the way before blasting at him "What's wrong with him? He's different from the others.”
"He must've made an incomplete EM wave change" Omega-Xis guessed, while Rockman looked at him "What do you mean?".
"Sometime when a human has a strong enough will they’ll be able to fight against the FM-Ian's control, leaving them in a berserk state like this.”
"So we have to defeat them before the FM-Ian can take control? Alright!" Rockman nodded, pulling out a battle card.
"BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! FIRE BAZOOKA!". Omega-Xis ate the card transforming into what looked like a Volcano gun before Rockman aimed at Wolf Woods.
"FIRE!" Rockman yelled, firing a stream of fire at Wolf Woods but with quick speed he disappeared dodging the attack.
"Huh?! Where did he go!" Rockman blinked looking around.
"HEY! BEHIND YOU!" Omega-Xis yelled, as Rockam turned to see Wolf Woods who was looking down at him.
“H-Huh…GAAAAAHHH!” Rockman cried, being slashed by the ramping beast as he was sent crashing towards the ground.
"Ggh, how fast is this guy?" Rockman grunted, before Wolf Woods crashed on top of me.
"GAAAHHH!" Rockman screamed, as the best sharpened its claws while Rockman charged a blast.
"ROCK BUSTER!" Rockman yelled, shooting a charged blast at him knocking him back but as he did he slashed Rockman upward.
"Gah!" Rockman cringed, stumbling back before pulling out a card.
"Battle Card! Predation! Fire ring!" Rockman yelled, as Omega-Xis ate the card before shooting out a flaming wheel.
Wolf Woods was about to slash it but then he grabbed his head in pain, before he was hit by the flaming wheel.
"GRAHHH!" He roared, getting knocked back by the attack.
"Yeah! I hit it!" Rockman smiled but the beast got back up while growling at him and soon rushed towards the hero.
"Oh Crap!" Rockman yelped, before dodging out of the way.
"Battle Card! Predation! Wide Sword!" Rockmn yelled, tossing the card into air before Omega-xis ate it, transforming into a red sword with a wide blade.
The two both rushed towards each other as Rockman blocked the FM-Ian’s blade claws with his wide sword.
He then spun around and slashed his chest before jumping back as his sword disappeared and shot him back with a charged shot.
Wolf Woods shook his head and grabbed it in pain before howling summoning three energy wolves which began running towards me.
"Stay on guard, these guys are dangerous" Omega-Xis snarled,
"Right," Rockman nodded, readying the buster.
"EX MULTI BUSTER!" "LACE RIBBON DANCE!" Suddenly several bullets shot down the energy wolves as a black blur came in and tried to slash Wolf Woods but it dodged out of the way.
"Hmm, you're pretty quick for your size" Black Heart smirked, before turning to me "Uni make sure he doesn't escape, I still have some questions for him".
"Uni?" Rockman blinked, before a locking noise “Huh?”
Rockman looked down to see his arm getting cuffed and turning around to see Uni with a smirk.
"Alright Sis! I got him!” Uni called.
Wolf Woods shook his head and glared at the two goddesses before howling but then it changed its frequency and to them disappeared but in actuality he was going to the wave road and flying away.
"HE'S GETTING AWAY!" Rockman yelled, moving forward only to get pulled back.
“HEY! Don’t forget you’re coming with us” Uni frowned, as Rockman turned to her.
Rockman just gave her a deadpanned look before changing his frequency to phase through the Cuff and jumping up towards the Wave road to go after him.
"Hey Wait! Get back here, Rockman!" Rockamn heard Uni yell, as Rockman landed on the wave road.
"Where'd he go?" Rockman asked, looking around.
"Wolf is a fast one, he's probably already gone" Omega-Xis said, as Rockman sighed.
"Looks like we'll need to get him next time".
"So what do we do with those two?" Omega-Xis asked, as they looked down at Black Heart and Uni looking for the two of them.
"We can leave them be, besides we should head to the Basilicom " Rockman told him, and Omega-Xis nodded before the two flew to the Basilicom.

"Hah… hah… I broke free" I grunted, before puking at the side of the walls "What the hell was that! If the kid didn't appear I'd have killed someone.”
'It's no use! I'm not giving up on your body yet' I heard the alien say, as I gripped my head.
"N-No! This is my head stay out!" I yelled, moving around as I gritted my teeth.
After a bit of fighting his impulses I was able to push his influence on me back.
"Have… to… get home… lock myself inside so no one will get hurt" I grunted, slowly walking to my apartment.

"Finally, we're here" Omega-Xis sighed, as we walked up to the Basilicom "Why did we have to fly around this place for so long?".
"Sorry about that" I apologised, while scratching my cheek "But you have to admit, it'd be pretty suspicious if we came here in minutes after we left".
"I guess" Omega-Xis mumbled, as I opened the door to see Uni chasing after a rabbit-eared bandicoot.
"Crachy Wait! Get back here!" The bandicoot noticed the open door and began jumping towards the door "AH! RYU QUICK CLOSE THE DOOR.”
"R-Right!" I yelled, quickly shutting the door so the Bandicoot couldn't get away, before I gently picked it up.
"Thanks, this guy just refuses to get in the bath " Uni sighed, shaking her head.
"No problem here you go.” I smiled, handing the pet back to her owner.
"Thanks, his name is Crachy and I just started taking care of him a few weeks ago" she smiled, holding the bandicoot before realising something.
"EH?! RYU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" She yelped, jumping back which confused me.
"You didn't know? I'm gonna be staying here for a few days since I have to work on an assignment for school.”
"You can't even take care of yourself? How lame" she frowned, as I sighed.
"Hey, I would've been fine with staying alone but Histoire was just too worried…plus Neptune and Nepgear are busy so I need some protection while I work on the assignment since it involves monsters.”
"I guess that makes sense" Uni said, before turning around "Well let's head to the living room maybe we can play some FPS Games since Noire's busy".
"Oh yeah sure" I nodded, following her as Omega-Xis raised an eyebrow.
"What does FPS mean? Is it some kind of weapon" he asked, as I looked at him "Kinda, just watch and you'll see".
Noire's Office
Third person P.O.V.
"Ahh finally done" Noire stretched, finishing up the last of the work she had to do "Oh yeah, Ryu should be here around now, I'll see him later first I have that new package to try out.”
"Hmm, Hmm! La La La~~!" She sang, skipping to one of her favourite rooms in the Basilicom.
"Ah I can't wait, I've been really excited to do this, it's been so long" she grinned, opening the door and skipping inside but forgetting to lock the door.
Meanwhile Uni and Ryu were playing a FPS game on computers using there Transers as their screen, to make sure not to cheat they were moved from ear shot.
"YEAH GO AND GET HER!" Omega-Xis roared excitedly as he watched from behind Ryu looking around for Uni's character.
"Wow you're getting pretty excited about this game" Ryu blinked, as Omega-Xis laughed.
"You kiddin, I haven't had this much fun in ages.” He grinned, as Ryu just smiled before continuing to play the game.
"Hah! Take this!" Uni yelled, firing at them making Ryu jump.
"WOAH!" Ryu yelped, moving out of the way of her firing before he took out a Grenade and threw it towards Uni before running away as it blew up behind him.
"Alright, just gotta get somewhere sa-" "FOUND YA!" Uni yelled, shooting a rocket launcher at Ryu.
"WOAH!". Ryu pulled out his gun and was about to fire.
“TOO SLOW!” Uni yelled, as she fired at Ryu, killing him.
"Aw, Dang it" Ryu groaned, flopping back on the couch.
"Wow you're really bad at this.” Uni snickered, walking up to Ryu.
"Well I don't usually play FPS's so I'm not that good" Ryu sighed, rubbing his head "Hey uh, where's the bathroom?".
"Oh it's just down the hall and to the left and it's the first door" she pointed as Ryu nodded and placed his Transer back while making his way to the bathroom.
"Oh wait, was it to the right?" Uni thought, before shrugging "Well nothing over there besides Noire's office and… Oh no.”
"Seriously Ryu, you need to get your act better! I don't want to see you losing at that game" Omega-Xis yelled after oddly getting excited about the game.
"Weird, you were never this excited about a game before?" Ryu asked, as Omega-xis turned his head.
"I just never saw one that looked as fun as that one".
"Well there's loads of games so I'm sure you could find other games you like" Ryu smiled, before opening the door to the bathroom only to see something he didn't expect.
“Stop right there villain!” Noire declared, as she wore an Aquamarine coloured magical girl outfit completely with a wand.
“Twinkling stars in an Aquamarine night sky! ” She yelled, as she spun her wand around and struck some pose “I am! Twinkle Witch! Twinkle Aquamarine!”
She then spun around and pointed in Ryu’s direction with a wink before freezing when she saw him.
"Uh… w-wow Lady Noire…t-that was really good" Ryu complimented awkwardly, clapping a little but she still stayed quiet.
"I-I didn't know y-you were into that kind of stuff so much… a-and your cosplay l-looks really good too” he grinned, but she still was quiet as her face started turning red.
"Uh, Lady Noire?".
"Get out…"
"What was that?" Ryu asked, as she looked at him, her face completely red.
"GEEEEEETTTTT OOOOUUUUUTTTT!".
She then began grabbing a bunch of random objects and started throwing them at Ryu.
"Ah!" Ryu screamed, dodging the objects before hiding behind a couch.
"I'm really sorry, Uni told me this was the way to the bathroom!" Ryu tried to explain, as she continued throwing stuff at him.
"Like hell Uni would do something like that!".
"Please stop it! I'm really sorry! I won't tell anyone!" Ryu yelled, hiding behind the couch before she summoned her rapier.
"The only way to make sure you don't tell anyone is to silence you!" She yelled, running towards him.
"Big Sis! Stop, it's my fault!.”
The two both looked over to see Uni speaking from the other side of the closed door "I'm sorry Noire, I gave him the wrong directions to the Bathroom, please don't attack him.”
"Uni?!" Noire blinked, before stepping back and sighing.
"Alright, guess I can't exactly blame you for an accident" she sighed, as Ryu popped his head from the back of the couch.
"You tried to kill me?!"
"Of course not, I was just going to knock you out so you would forget about it" she said, before glaring at him "Speaking of which".
"Wait, please don't!" he yelped, as Noire sighed.
"Fine, but you better not tell anyone!”
"I won't!".
"Good, and don't you dare laugh at me!" She yelled, confusing Ryu as he popped his head out again.
"What? Why would I do that?" Ryu asked, surprising her. “I mean like I said, you were really good.”
"B-But I-Isn't this something you wouldn't expect a goddess to do" she asked, as Ryu gave her a deadpanned look.
"Lady Noire, I live with Neptune so I don't think cosplaying can be something to make fun of, besides you definitely have a talent for it" Ryu stated, surprising her before getting up and leaving with Uni.
"S-Sorry about that" Uni apologised, rubbing Ryu’s back
"It's alright, I-I just need to rest?"
"Oh there’s a couch in the guest room" she said, as Ryu looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you sure?" he asked, making her laugh.
"Yeah, I'm sure" Uni smirked, as she guided him to the guest room.
When Ryu got into his room and jumped on the couch "Ah, jeez that was scary.”
"Guess the Purple Goddesses aren't the only ones that are strange" Omega-Xis sighed, leaving Ryu’s Transer.
"Yeah, guess you really can't base the book on its cover" Ryu smiled, moving his Visualisers down.
"Well it's the same with us FM-Ian's so I guess I can't blame them.” Omega-xis shrugged.
"Anyway, I've had a pretty long day so I'm gonna get some sleep" Ryu yawned, while stretching a bit.
"Yeah that's a good idea, you'll need to be ready if we need to fight Wolf again" Omega-xis, before going back into Ryu’s Transer as Ryu laid down on the bed and closed his eyes to go to sleep.
Damian's apartment
Third person P.O.V.
"Aah!" Damian yelled, as he jumped out of his bed and gripped his head.
"Damn, it still hurts… that thing is still trying to take control of me" he growled, before taking some pain killers to push him back.
"I-I should go get ready for today" He huffed, slowly getting back up and shaking his head.
Meanwhile inside of Damian's body we see Wolf being tied up and held back by energy chains so he couldn't take control of Damian.
"Damn it, how strong is this guy" Wolf cursed, trying to break free of the chains "Who the hell do you think I am! You human bastard!".
Meanwhile Damian finished getting ready and quickly left the apartment, not noticing two people watching him.
It was the two shadowy figures that attacked Noire in the cave, this was Gemini Spark who was able to split it's host into two people one body for the host and one for Gemini.
"That FM-Ian looks like he's in trouble" the white and more feminine Gemini Spark frowned, looking at Damian but being able to see Wolf inside him.
She had a mostly white body with green skin and long orange hair, she wore a white armour with a large gold mechanical arm that could conduct electricity and a belt with a skull emblem on it.
"Heh, that's Wolf it's probably killing him how he's being held back by a human" the Black Gemini smirked, who looked mostly the same as White except was more masculine, black in colour and was mirrored to the white Gemini.
"Yeah…those humans can be quite the stubborn ones" White explained, before turning to Black "Should we help him?"
"Yeah sure, I'm feeling generous today…besides, maybe we can draw out Omega-Xis as well" he smirked, as Damian left the house before turning into energy and following him.
Lastation Mall
Third person P.O.V.
"So why did we have to go out to the mall?" Ryu asked, as Noire looked away.
"It's not like I wanted to apologise because of nearly hurting you or anything, I just thought I would give you a tour of Lastation before we go work on your assignment.”
"R-Right" Ryu sweatdropped, before turning to Uni "Is she usually like this?"
"Yeah, don't think much of it, she's just sorry" she giggled, and Ryu nodded.
Meanwhile in another part of the mall Kei and Damian were walking out of a store as Damian carried a few bags of heavy items.
"Thanks for your help, I'll give you your pay when we get back" Kei thanked, and Damian nodded "Yeah… no problem".
"Are you okay? You seem sort of tired" Kei asked, as Damian sighed.
"Yeah, I've been feeling pretty bad after work yesterday… I'll tell you what's wrong when we get back" Damian explained, and Kei nodded.
But then a yellow light entered the back of Damian's head causing him to fall onto his knees and grip his head "GAHHHH!".
"Damian! What's wrong" Kei gasped as Damian grabbed his head.
"I don't know! Somethings happening!".
Meanwhile in Damians head the two Gemini spark's looked up at the tied up Wolf "Gemini? What the hell are you doing here!".
"S-So your Wolf?You must really hate being tied up like that" White asked, sounding a bit scared of Wolf as he growled.
"What are you talking about?".
"To have your power constrained like a mere humans will like that must be unbearable, especially for some like you the wildest of the FM-Ian's" Black mocked, making Wolf growl.
"S-So that's why we're going to help you out" White told him, before they both shot a bolt of electricity to cut at the chains.
"I can't hold him back!" Damian yelled, before being enveloped in a blue tornado much to the shock of Kei.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! DAMIAN WOLFE! ON AIR!" He roared, transforming into Wolf Woods before howling.
"It's the same thing that happened back in Amaken" Kei basped, pulling out her weapon which was a short sword as the FM-Ian began running towards the other people.
"Garooh!" Wolf woods howled, as he jumped into the middle of the plaza scaring all of the people as they began running away.
"That thing again!" Noire growled, before turning to Ryu and Uni.
"Ryu you get to safety! Uni you get to higher ground and support me from there" she told the two, and they nodded.
As they began leaving, Noire summoned her share crystal and grabbed it.
"ACCESS!" she declared, as her body shined brightly.
When the light died down Noire had transformed into Black Heart "I'll show you why I'm the greatest Goddess!"
(Play Goddess of Victory)
Black Heart rushed towards Wolf Woods and slashed the Alien but he quickly caught the sword before pushing her back.
“Not bad” Black Heart looked at the alien but with great speed he ran behind her and was about to slash her but Black Heart spun around and blocked the attack.
"Don't think this will be the same as last time" Wolf Woods sneered, surprising Black Heart.
"You can talk?!" Black Heart gasped, before being kneed in the stomach and sent flying back.
"Heh, I finally got control of this form and now I can go all out" he smirked, before rushing towards Black Heart as she got back up.
"Wide Claw!" He yelled, slashing her but Black Heart blocked it with her sword.
"Damn, this is going to be more tricky than I thought" Black Heart frowned, as Wolf Woods howled before rushing towards Black Heart.
"Shock Cl-" "Lace Ribbon Rush!".
Suddenly Kei appeared behind Wolf Woods and began slashing his back several times before jumping off of him and landed next to Black Heart "Are you okay my lady?".
"Kei? What are you doing here?" Black Heart asked, as Kei smiled "I was doing a job when Damian suddenly turned into this monster"
"Hey! The name's Wolf Woods you dick!" Wolf Woods yelled, as Kei looked at the alien.
"Actually I'm a girl"
"NO FUCKING WAY! YOU LOOK LIKE A LITTLE BRAT!".
"So that's Damian," Black Heart frowned, readying her sword as the alien sneered before rushing towards the two.
"Stay on guard, Kei!" Black Heart yelled, and Kei nodded.
"Paralyze shot!" Uni yelled, shooting Wolf Woods on the head, as it looked up at the girl "Guess it's immune to electricity".
"LITTLE BRAT!" Wolf Woods howled, as he jumped into the air towards the young goddess.
"Uni!" Black Heart gasped, about to fly up to protect her sister.
"Battle Card! Predation! Fire Ring!" Rockman yelled, shooting a ring of fire towards Wolf Woods knocking him towards the ground.
"Rockman?! How are you here" Black Heart asked, as he looked over at them.
"Well when you see a shit ton of people running away you can probably guess something is happening" Omega-Xis smirked, making Kei giggle a bit.
"I found you Omega-Xis, now it's time for payback" Wolf Woods howled, jumping towards Rockman as he jumped back.
"Gonna need to use a new battle card," Rockman said, pulling out a battle card.
"Battle Card! Predation! Blazing Edge!" He yelled, throwing the card into the air as Omega-Xis ate the card care transforming into a fire blade.
Wolf Woods darted towards Rockman, as he raised his sword and blocked Wolf Woods slashes.
"He's stronger than before!" Rockman frowned, being pushed back by the attack.
“No, he’s just in control!” Omega-Xis said, as Ryu dodged another slash before spinning around and slashing Wolf Woods' chest and kicking him back before moving back to Black Heart.
"Why do you keep on using Fire attacks?" She asked, as Omega-Xis looked at her.
"Wolf has a wood element so fire attacks do good against him" he explained.
“I see…” she muttered, looking as the Wolf recovered.
"Is that all you got Wolf?" They heard, as everyone looked up to see the Gemini Sparks on top of the highest floor.
"Gemini?!" Omega-Xis gasped, as Black Heart growled.
"Those two again!" Black Heart yelled, as the two smirked.
"We know you have more than that…" "We'll give you more of a push" They said, before creating a small energy ball which shined brightly.
"GAROOOOHHHH!" Wolf Woods howled, as his Turquoise armor changed to a red colour.
"Crap, he's changed to his berserk state" Omega-Xis frowned, as Rockman looked at him "Berserk state?".
"Basically whenever Wolf looks at something resembling moonlight he goes out of control, he's faster and stronger in this state but he's a lot more reckless and out of control" Omega-Xis explained, as Kei sweatdropped.
"He's really going for this Wolf theme isn't he?".
"GAROOH!" Wolf Woods howled, before with quick speed slashed all three of them knocking them to the ground.
"SIS!" Uni said, before firing at Wolf Woods as it dodged the blasts before jumping towards Uni.
"Wide claw!" He howled, slashing the banister in front of Uni forcing her to move out of the way.
Uni began firing at Wolf Woods as it slowly stomped towards her, each shot being deflected away.
“RAAAAAAHH!” Wolf Woods roared, before jumping towards Uni.
"Uni!" Black Heart yelled, about to fly towards Wolf Woods but Rockman was faster as he pulled out a card and threw it in the air.
"Battle Card! Predation! Vulcan!" He yelled, as Omega-Xis changed into a Gatling gun arm.
He then landed in front of Uni and began firing at Wolf Woods, not doing much damage but it did push him back.
"Lady Black Heart! We can keep Wolf Woods busy, you go fight Gemini!" Rockman told her, and Black Heart nodded before flying towards the two Gemini's.
Black Heart dashed towards the two Gemini's and readied her sword.
"Volcano Dive!" She yelled, flying above them and sending a downward slash.
The two jumped back before grabbing each other's hands and pointing at Black Heart "Gemini Thunder!"
A bolt of lighting shot towards the Goddess forcing Black Heart to block the attack which created a bright light blinding the two
‘Now’ Black Heart thought before moving past the two and slashing the ball of light causing Wolf Woods to return to normal.
"Gah!" Wolf Woods said, immobilised.
"Now's our chance!" Kei said, before pulling out her sword "Tornado sword".
A large amount of wind surrounded Kei's body as she spun around and slashed Wolf Woods, knocking him into the air.
"Ex Multi Buster!" Uni yelled, firing several powerful energy blasts from her gun knocking Wolf Woods towards Rockman.
"Let's use the new program advance" Omega-Xis smirked, and Rockman nodded before pulling out three cards and throwing them into the air.
"Battle Card! Predation! Cannon! Plus Cannon! Heavy Cannon!" He yelled, as the three cannons combined into one large black cannon as he aimed at Wolf Woods.
"Program Advance! Impact Cannon!" He yelled, firing a powerful blast at Wolf Woods.
"GAROOH!" He howled, as Wolf was forced out of Damian's body returning him to normal.
(End song)
Damian collapsed onto the ground as Wolf growled "Damn it! I'll be back, Omega-Xis!"
"Oh no, Wolf lost" White gasped, making Black scoff as he got back up.
"Well we found where Omega-Xis was, so for now let's head back" he said, as they disappeared.
"Who are those two?" Black Heart muttered, before looking down at the tired Rockman.
"That… really does… put a strain on me" Rockman panted, before disappearing as well.
"Hey wait!" Uni called, but he was already gone as Black Heart floated down.
"He's already gone, don't worry about it" she sighed, before turning to Kei who was checking on Damian.
"How is he?" Black Heart asked, as Kei smiled.
"He's alright, just unconscious" she said, and Black Heart nodded before returning to normal.
"Great, now let's go find Ryu before he starts worrying about us," Noire smiled, and before they began looking for Ryu as Kei helped Damian so he could rest.
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
"Thanks for the help, Aika" Nepgear bowed, as she and Neptune were about to leave to get Ryu.
"No prob, I'm looking forward to the concert, though I wish I could sing my own songs" Aika sighed, making Nepgear sweatdrop while Neptune waited impatiently outside.
"Cmon Nep Jr! We gotta get to Lastation! Bet Ryu’s gonna be surprised when he finds out we finished early.”
Aika Hibiki had short pink hair with green eyes, she was wearing a pink hoodie with a blue striped shirt underneath and yellow shirt with blue shoes and a yellow guitar that worked as her Transer behind her back.
"Oh sorry Big Sis, coming" Nepgear called, doing another quick bow before walking outside with Neptune.
Aika smiled before sitting down on her desk and began playing her guitar as the screen at the top shined "Hehe, I bet you’re looking forward to the concert"
"Well Lyra, course I'm really looking forward to it! Not only am I finally going back to Planeptune but…” she stopped herself before looking up at the starry night sky
“I’ll get to see you again… Right Ryu?”
Chapter 7: Heart Waving reunion
Chapter Text
Planeptune
Ryu P.O.V.
"Okay Systems are ready to go!" Nepgear informed me, as Omega-Xis and I got ready for some training in our Rockman form.
We were on the top of the Basilicom and I was supposed to make it to the end of the city while fighting viruses created by Nepgear.
"Ah! This is so exciting! I worked so hard on this test!" Nepgear gushed, as she spoke in my headset
"You really did work hard on this Nepgear, I’m sure this will go great" I smiled, while Omega-xis sighed.
"We'll have to see about that," Omega-xis grumbled.
"Let's just see when this is over" I told him “You ready Nepgear?”
"Sure am! Let's go!" She declared excitedly as I jumped off the building.
As I fell I saw several viruses suddenly appearing right in front of me as they charged their weapons.
"Rock-buster!" I yelled, as Omega-Xis began blasting at several of the viruses deleting them.
I then jumped from the building and landed on the Wave Road, as I dashed towards the next building before several more viruses appeared.
"Battle card! Predation! Wind Boomerang! Cannon!" I yelled, jumping off the Wave Road as a boomerang entered my hand and Omega-xis's hand changed into a cannon.
I then spun around and threw the boomerang which spun around the viruses forcing them all into one spot before I shot a blast from my cannon, deleting them.
Landing on the roof of the building I looked up to see several Gatling viruses aiming towards me.
"Oh Crap! I yelped, as they began firing at me.
"Battle card! Predation! Barrier!" I yelled, as a barrier appeared around me protecting me from the blasts.
"Need to delete them before the barrier breaks" I frowned, pulling out another card.
"Battle card! Predation! Missile!" I called as several missiles appeared and shot towards the viruses deleting them.
"Nice job, Ryu," Nepgear complemented, making me smile and rub my head.
"Hehe, thanks Nepgear" I grinned, before Omega-Xis's eyes widen.
"RYU! GET DOWN-" Omega-xis yelled, before I was kicked off the top of the building.
"WAAAAHHH!".
"Ryu quick! Change your frequency" he yelled, as we disappeared and landed on the Wave road.
"What was that?" I wondered, jumping up to a higher Wave road before I looked down to see the Black Gemini Spark who jumped up onto the Wave Road.
"I've been waiting for you…" he smirked while rolling his arm "…Omega-Xis.”
"GEMINI!" We gasped, at the same time as he smirked.
"Oh you haven't heard, I go by Gemini Spark now.”
"Ryu, who is this guy?" Nepgear asked, sounding a bit worried.
"He's an FM-Ian that we met back in Lastation".
"Oh? Who are you talking to?" He asked, with a raised eyebrow as I stood back.
"That's none of your business!"
"Heh, yeah you're right" he smirked, pointing his large fist at me "I'm just here for the Andromeda Key, so you can give it to me the easy way or the hard way".
"LIKE HELL YOUR GETTING IT!" Omega-Xis yelled, forcing us to dash towards him as he smirked and charged up electricity into his gauntlet.
"Hard way it is!" He yelled, stabbing his claw into the wave road.
This caused sparks of electricity to course through before the road began cracking.
"Woah!" I yelled, as the Wave road shattered beneath me forcing me to jump to another wave road as I pulled out a card and Omega-Xis ate it.
"Battle card! Predation! Vulcan!" I called, as his head changed into a Gatling gun.
"Take this!" I yelled, firing my Gatling gun at him but his body just shined as the bullets passed through his body.
"W-What?!”
He smirked before dashing toward us while his gauntlet formed into an electric sword as he slashed me, knocking me to a building.
"Geez Omega-Xis, you've just been trying to teach him how to fight, haven't you? I feel bad for that kid" he mocked, jumping towards me about to slash me again.
" Battle card! Predation! Wide sword! Long sword!" I yelled, as Omega-Xis ate the cards transforming my hand and Omega-xis's head into swords before he slashed his sword at me as I caught his sword with mine.
"Hehe, not bad but" he smirked, before I was kicked in the back.
"But you should really watch your back," I looked up, and saw the White Gemini Spark next to the black one.
"I was wondering where the other one was," Omega-Xis sneered.
"Took you long enough" Black scoffed, as the White one looked down and poked her fingers.
"S-Sorry I lost track of you two" "Whatever, let's go!"
"W-Woah!" I yelled, as the two rushed me and began slashing away while I pushed back their blades with my own.
"Take this!" Black yelled, kicking my leg to trip me up before White came in and head butted me in the gut knocking me back.
They then both held each other's gauntlet arms and raised it up as the arm charged with electricity.
"GEMINI THUNDER!" They yelled, shooting one powerful beam of electricity at me.
"Gah!" I yelled, crossing my hands to protect myself but before it could hit me a shadow silhouette jumped in front of me.
"Nep!" It said, as a large barrier appeared protecting us from Gemini Spark's attack.
When the barrier was gone I looked down to see Mettaur but the Black and Yellow was replaced with white and Purple.
"Nep! Nep!" It said, jumping around me.
"The virus… it protected us?" I blinked completely confused, as Omega-xis blinked "Strange…".
"Aw, it's kinda cute," White smiled, as Black rolled his eyes.
"Doesn't matter a weakling is still a weakling" he said rushing towards the virus but then.
"NEP! NEP!" The Mettaur yelled, before it shined brightly blinding the two FM-Ian's.
"GAAAH!" They yelled, covering their eyes as the virus jumped on my back.
"Nep! Nep!"
"I think it wants you to get out of here" Omega-Xis suggested, and I nodded.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea" I smiled, before turning into energy and flying off.
Third person P.O.V.
"Damn it! He got away" Black growled, as they landed on top of a building.
"Should we go after him?" White asked, as he scoffed.
"Their already long gone not only that but we don't even know who Omega-Xis's host is" he said, as White looked down.
"Oh…".
"Anyway, we've done enough for tonight, let's head back" Black said, about to turn back to normal but then they heard footsteps behind them.
"My my aren't you two pretties interesting~"
“Huh” They turned around and saw a man in a mech suit that was cranberry-jello pink in color with several other parts on his shoulders, arms, legs, back, and feet that were green in color and glowing. He also has a hint of yellow-orange on his suit in the mid-torso and arm regions.
"W-Who are you?" White asked, as the Black Gemini entered a fighting stance "How can you see us! We're still in the wave world".
"Oh I’ve known about you cuties for a while now~" he smiled, with a smirk as the two sweat dropped.
"And I think we could help each other, we just need to have a talk~"
Nepgear's lab
Third person P.O.V.
"Wah!" Rockman yelled, as he and the virus fell through the window before he changed his frequency to be solid.
"Ryu you okay!" Nepgear said, helping Rockman up as he returned.
"Yeah, thanks Nepgear" Ryu smiled, as he rubbed his head.
"Nep! Nep!" The Mettaur chimed in, jumping towards Nepgear who caught him.
"Thanks for helping him Neptaur" she said, as the Virus nodded.
"Nep! Nep!".
"Oi, what kind of virus is that?" Omega-xis asked, as Nepgear smiled.
"He's a program I made to help test the battle cards" she explained, “But I ended up getting kind of attached, so I decided to keep him…s-so he can help you guys out! O-Of course.”
"Hehe, well it was a good help" Ryu smiled rubbing the virus's head.
“Nep!”
Ryu then yawned as Nepgear looked up at him “You should go and get some rest, it has been a long day.”
“Yeah, that makes sense.” Ryu nodded, rubbing his eyes as he left the room.
"Hmph, those humans they get tired too quickly" Omega-Xis scoffed as he appeared on the computer, as Nepgear looked at the alien.
"Don't you think you're pushing him too hard? He's only one person after all". Nepgear asked, Omega-Xis looked at the CPU candidate and scoffed.
"Fine I'll give him a break but not too long we need to get stronger then Gemini Spark…after all he’s the only one of you that can actually fight the FM-Ian’s properly" he sighed, before leaving the computer and flying back to Ryu’s Transer.
Nepgear looked down after Omega-xis said that before sitting on her bed, with Neptaur jumping onto her lap.
“Thanks Neptaur” Nepgear murmured, as she hugged Neptaur while frowning "If only I could transform…then I'd be able to help him more than this…".
As Omega-Xis flew back to Ryu's Transer he began thinking.
'This would be easier if my team was with me… but I doubt they trust me anymore…’
"Omega-xis…" he heard, making Omega-Xis freeze before turning around '…that voice…'.
Dreamscape
Ryu P.O.V.
"Do you really have to go Ryu?" I heard, before looking over to see a younger me standing in front of a girl and we were in front of a house.
The girl wore a pink hoodie and green trousers, with her face being covered up by her brown hair.
"No…I need to leave… I don't have anyone left to take care of me in Planeptune" the younger me frowned.
"I remember this, this was right before I left Planeptune…after my parents disappeared" I muttered looking down.
"Then I can take care of you!" The girl said, looking at the younger me "Yeah! You can stay with me and we can have fun all the time!".
I looked over at the young me who just looked down "Sorry…but I can't…I need to go"
"What! Why not, it'll be really fun!" she pouted, tears welling up in her eyes “Momma’s already gone…I don’t wanna lose you too Ryu…”
"I’m sorry…just can't… but…" he said, raising his hand. "I promise that next time we see each other we will do something really fun!"
When the younger me said, as the girl looked at me before taking my hand "Alright then, it's a promise Ryu!"
"Yeah, I promise… A-"
Ryu's room
Ryu P.O.V.
"Gah!" I jumped, before looking around to see that I was in my room. "Oh… it's just a dream.”
"It felt so… nostalgic, it definitely happened but…who was that girl?" I mumbled, trying to think of her name "It's on the tip of my tongue… it started with an A…I think?”
"What are you talking about this early Ryu" "Woah!" I yelled, falling down and shaking my head before putting on my Visualiser and looking up to see Omega-Xis.
"Oh s-sorry for waking you" I apologised as he sighed.
"Whatever, what were you talking about?" He asked, as I sighed.
"Nothing it's just a weird dream" I sighed, getting up as Omega-Xis entered my Transer before I left the room.
When I came in I saw Neptune banging on the table waiting for breakfast as Compa made breakfast with Nepgear.
"Come on Compa! I'm starving! Imma die from hunger at this rate!
"Nep calm down, she's working as quickly as she can" IF sighed, but Compa just smiled.
"It's alright Iffy, I'm almost done".
"Morning…" I yawn, walking up to the table as Neptune looked up at me.
"Oh hey Ryu! Good morning!" she greeted, before noticing something. "Woah! You okay there buster? You're looking pretty tired"
"Yeah, just had a lot of work last night" I yawned, while leaning back on the
"So Ryu, how's it like living in Planeptune?" Miss IF asked, making me blink.
"It's been fine, mostly just been keeping to myself though there were some tough times.”
"Yeah, it's been pretty crazy since you came here with all of the aliens and Rockman," Neptune nodded.
"Don't even mention him.” IF said, shaking her head.
"Do you not like him?" I asked, as IF sighed.
"I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that if he wants to go around acting like a hero he should at least join the guild like me and Compa" she explained, making me sweat drop.
"W-Well I'm sure he has his reasons not to join" I smiled awkwardly before looking down 'I bet if I did join the guild Histoire would kill me.’
"Oh right by the way IF and Compa said they're busy so here's the tickets for the concert me and Nep Jr are working on” Neptune told me as she pulled out some tickets and handed them to me.
"Oh yeah, Luna and the others mentioned her, thanks” I nodded, putting the tickets away.
"Breakfast ready~" Compa called, as she and Nepgear carried the plates of food onto the table.
"Thanks, for the food!" We all said, before digging in.
Planeptune High
Third person P.O.V.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!” Luna, Zack and Bud groaned, as Ryu saw them walking towards the school with a depressed aura around them.
"A-Are you guys okay?" Ryu asked, as he follows them
“We couldn't get them in time," Luna groaned as the group turned to the confused Ryu.
"Couldn't get what?"
"The tickets!" Zack yelled, showing off his Transer which had a picture of the idol they wanted to go see "We spent the whole weekend trying to get them but nothing!”
"And I wasted my whole weekend" Bud cried, with some tears "We were really looking forward to the show too".
"We even heard the goddess was going to be there as well" Luna pouted, making his eyes widen.
"OH! You mean these tickets" Ryu asked, showing them the tickets Neptune gave him
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
"Ryu! How did you get that!" Luna yelled, shaking his shoulders wildly.
"O-Oh well um…my sisters got a job working on the concert and they got free tickets but their friends were busy so they gave them to me" Ryu explained, as Zack took a look
"Oh my gosh! This one also counts for a backstage pass!" He gawked, as I began sweating.
"Uuuuhhhh they worked very hard?”
“RYU! I will give you any price you want if you give me that back stage pass! Please! I’m begging you!”
“O-Okay! You can have it!” Ryu agreed, making Luna squeal.
"Woah! I thought you were a wimp but you're a pretty cool guy" Bud grinned patting Ryu’s back.
"Ah this is excellent! I’m so jealous of you prez!”
"I GET TO MEET AIKA HIBIKI! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Luna yelled, before hugging Ryu which made his face heat up.
"Uh-um p-prez…".
"Huh?..." she blinked, before realising what she was doing as she blushed brightly before jumping back.
"A-Anyway, we should meet up tonight alright" she declared making all four of them nod "Good, now get to your seats class is about to start.”
Ryu watched as all four of them ran into school before he opened up his Transer to see Omega-Xis, but he seemed different.
"You okay Omega-Xis?" Ryu asked, as he looked at him.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He asked, making Ryu frown
"Well you just seem more quiet than usual," Ryu said, as he scoffed.
“It's nothing, just having a lot on my mind is all".
"Oh? Do you mean Gemini Spark?" Ryu asked, as he looked away.
"Yeah sure, that included" he said, but Ryu could tell that he wasn’t telling the whole story.
Before Ryu asked anymore though, someone walked up so Ryu quickly closed his Transer.
“Yo Ryu” He heard, looking over to see Jack walking up to him.
"Oh! Senpai, what's up?"
"Nothing much… just wanted to see how you were holding after our talk back on friday, so how have you been?" He asked.
"I’ve been alright, I had to go to Lastation for an assignment I’m doing on a special kind of monster, so I had to stay with my sisters friends for the night” Ryu explained.
"Oh wow, Lastation not bad" He asked, crossing his arms “I heard people mention Rockman was seen fighting a wolf monster with the goddesses".
"Ah! Yeah, I actually got to see it! It was really cool” Ryu smiled, making Jack smirk.
“Heh lucky, well I’ll leave you be. Class is about to start” Jack waved, walking on ahead as Ryu walked,
"Still can't believe he was Rockman this whole time" Jack muttered, opening his Transer "You sure you got the right guy Scorpop?"
"Course I do Aniki! I'd never mistake old man Omega-xis's frequency." An FM-Ian said from the Transer.
"Well if that is the case...he definitely still has a lot to learn."
Apartment
Third person P.O.V.
In a high class apartment in Planeptune we can see Aika Hibiki playing on her guitar, practicing for today's concert.
“Sometimes I wonder~ Why, you cry. Sometimes I dream that someday! You’ll be mine!”
“Even in this moment! I wanna hold your hands! And drift away from the clouds of everyday”
“And give you one last embrace~”
“Hah…hah…how was that?” Aika grinned, as she looked at the screen in her yellow guitar.
"That sounds amazing! Aika, just needs a bit of tuning" A voice said, as Aika grinned.
"Hehe thanks, I've been working pretty hard on this.” she smiled, pumping her first “I bet he’s not even gonna realise who this song is for.”
Suddenly the door then opened, making Aika blink as she looked over to see her manager, Mr Kirby, walking in.
He had short slicked black brown hair, tanned skin, orange shades and a pink suit with red boots.
Aika groaned when she saw her manager walking inside "Aika! Why aren't you at the concert getting ready.”
"I am, I'm practicing some songs! I got a really good one ready just need a bit more tuning" Aika told him, as Mr. Kirby noticed some notes on her table.
"Don't tell me you're trying to write your own songs again.” he groaned, shaking his head.
"Why not! I worked really hard on these" Aika asked, as the man rolled his eyes.
"The people don't want original songs, they want ones that’ll be popular! So just play the songs we made for you, the people worked hard on this.”
“But-!” "No buts now get down to the concert hall and get ready!" He interrupted her, before leaving the apartment room.
"RAHHH! THAT STUPID JERK!" She yelled, kicking a nearby pillow into the wall.
"WHY WONT THAT JERK JUST REALISE THAT MUSIC IS MEANT TO COME FROM THE HEART! I WORKED HARD ON THIS AND HE WON’T EVEN GIVE IT THEM TIME OF DAY!” Aika screamed, before falling down onto the bed.
"Okay Aika, do you feel better now?" the voice asked, as she looked over to her guitar to see a screen which turned on to show a FM-Ian.
The FM-Ian had a Harp Shape with green eyes, a heart shaped accessory on her right and two pink flames on both sides of her head.
"Thanks Lyra, your right letting out your anger is helpful" she thanked, with a smile as the alien giggled.
"Oh it's alright, you know I'm just out to help you".
"I'm so glad a spirit of music would come to help me" Aika smiled, leaning back on her bed.
"Of course my dear, I sensed a great potential coming from you.”
"Welp, I should probably go to the Concert Hall now" she nodded to herself as she picked up the guitar.
"You must be really looking forward to finally seeing your childhood friend.” Lyra asked, while Aika nodded to herself.
"Of course! You saw how surprised I was that Neptune and Nepgear knew him! Now I finally get to see him again" Aika grinned as she left the apartment.
"And I can't wait to see my old friend as well...I hope you got my message, Omega-Xis" she whispered, with a smirk on her lips.
A few hours later
Concert Hall
Third person P.O.V.
"Oh crap, I'm gonna be late" Ryu said, running as fast as he could "Why didn't you tell me Omega-Xis".
"Hey it's not my job to tell you when you're late or not" Omega-Xis scoffed, before looking up.
"Is something wrong?" Ryu asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing, I'm just gonna go and investigate something" he said, before flying out of Ryu's Transer.
"Hey Omega-xis! Wait!" Ryu called, but Omega-Xis was already gone "Man, he just does whatever he wants doesn't he?"
"YOUR LATE RYU!" Luna yelled, as they stood just a bit outside of the large concert hall.
"Yeah sorry, just lost track of time getting ready" Ryu apologised while in his new outfit.
Ryu wore a red jacket with a orange t-shirt underneath and his star shaped pendant, he also had block trousers with teal lines going down them and red shoes.
"Excuses! You need to have a better sense of time!" Luna said, while wearing a dark blue long sleeved shirt with white sleeves, she had a black skirt and blue tights as well as green boots.
"Hey can we go in now! I'm getting tired of waiting" Bud asked, and Zack nodded "Yeah, we"ve waited long enough".
"Fine! Let's go!" Luna said, before the four walked into a large concert hall filled with people.
"Wow, this place is huge!" Ryu gawked, looking around while holding on to his ticket. The event had a theme of Planeptune with the place being coloured purple all over and a large platform in the middle.
"Of course, this place is the second largest concert hall in all of Gamindustri" Zack explained
"RYU!" The group heard, as they looked over to see Nepgear running over to them.
"Eh? Nep- Sis what are you doing here?" Ryu asked, as Nepgear ran up to the group.
"Yeah, I thought you were gonna be up on stage?" Bud asked.
"S-Sorry I was feeling a bit nervous about being in front of so many people so I just helped big sis practice" she explained before smiling "I was wondering if I could watch with you guys".
"That should be fine," Luna smiled, as Zack noticed something.
"Hey, why is your hair a different colour?" Zack asked, pointing to Nepgear's lilac hair.
"Oh um, well they wanted the workers to have a Planeptune theme so they had us dress, big sis thought it'd be a good idea if I dyed my hair lilac".
"That does sound like her" Ryu sweat dropped, before suddenly the lights turned off.
"Oh it's starting" Luna cheered, as they all looked up to the stage.
"HELLO~~~! EVERYBODY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO MY SHOW!" Aika yelled, running up to the stage.
She was wearing a purple and lilac dress with violet gloves and long purple boots and on her chest was the Planeptune symbol.
"TODAY I'LL BE PLAYING A BRAND NEW SONG! JUST FOR YOU".
'…She looks kinda familiar…' Ryu thought, as the idol began playing on her guitar.
(Play Heart wave live encore version)
"Miageru sora wa~ kokoro ni~ tsumoru negai no iro~"
"Egaku~ yume wo~ Utusushi dasu~~~"
She then began playing her guitar very loudly as the entire concert was filled with multi coloured lights revealing several dancers and other band members.
"Tobikau SIGUNARU sore zore no kyou wo nosete!"
"Onaji shuuhasuu kasane ai kimi to hanasu"
"Mayoi~ tamerai wo furikiri~"
"Soko ni~ aru hazu no michi wo ikou!"
"Miageru! Sora wa! kokoro ni! Tsumoru negai no iro!"
"Egaku! yume wo! utsushi dasu"
"Kanarazu!"
"Itsuka! kono te ni! fureru asu e no chizu!"
"Tsuyoku! Takaku! odokumade kagayaite!"
She then began playing her guitar for a while as a shadowy figure came floating down before revealing it to be Purple Heart shocking everyone as she began flying around.
"Mayoi~ tamerai wo furikiri~"
"Soko ni~ aru hazu no michi wo ikou!"
"Miageru!"
"Sora wa! kokoro ni! Tsumoru negai no iro!"
"Egaku! yume wo! utsushi dasu"
"Kanarazu!"
"Itsuka! kono te ni! fureru asu e no chizu!"
"Tsuyoku! Takaku! Odokumade~~"
"Sora wa! kokoro ni! Tsumoru negai no iro!"
"Egaku! yume wo! utsushi dasu"
"Kanarazu!"
"Itsuka! kono te ni! fureru asu e no chizu!"
"Tsuyoku! Takaku! Odokumade~~"
"Itsuka! kono te ni! fureru asu e no chizu!"
"Tsuyoku! Takaku! Odokumade~~ Kagayaite!"
She was then picked by Purple Heart while singing kagayaite several times before she landed on the large platform and slowly played her song while looking down what seemed like straight at Ryu's direction with a warm smile.
"Sora wa~ kokoro ni~ tsumoru negai no iro~"
"Egaku~ yume wo~ Utusushi dasu~~~"
"Kagayaite~~~".
(End song)
She opened her eyes and smiled "HOW DID YOU ALL LIKE MY NEW SONG! HEART WAVE! NOW ON TO MY NEXT NEW SONG!"
Outside
Third person P.O>V> P.O.V.
Omega-xis flew out and stopped above the concert hall as he looked around "Come on, I know you're here somewhere"
"So you made it, Omega-Xis" He heard, looking up to see Lyra looking down at him.
"So it is you, Lyra," Omega-Xis growled. "Should have expected someone with your abilities would send me that silent message".
"Why did you betray planet FM, Omega-Xis?" Lyra demanded, looking down at him "You had no reason to do so!"
"The key doesn't involve you! If you don't want to get hurt you better beat it" Omega-Xis growled, as Lyra sighed.
"What happened to you? You were one of the king's greatest soldiers. Why would you give it all up like that?".
"Because I've seen the effects the key has on people, and I don't want it to ever be used again" He yelled, as Lyra glared down at him.
"You were never like this before Omega-Xis, what happened to you?".
"Guess this planet has gotten an effect on me" he scoffed, before looking up "Anyway, I know you're not the kind of person to just call me out for a nice chat".
"Of course not," Lyra frowned, before sighing "I've been dispatched here under orders to complete a mission."
"Let me guess, for the Andromeda Key" he questioned, as the alien looked at her old partner.
“Of course, that is my first objective".
"And let me guess, your second objective is to destroy this planet and its people?" He asked, but she shook her head.
"No, I've decided to convince the king to spare these people".
"Why would you do that?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lyra was silent for a moment, about to say something before shaking her head "These humans bring out our strongest abilities, I'd say they're best as workers for us.”
"We both know that's not happening," Omega-Xis frowned, making Lyra sigh.
"Well, if that's the case I'll have to use one of the two remaining options available to me.”
"And that is?" He asked, as Lyra began shining "You can probably guess".
The two aliens turned into balls of lights before they rushed towards and began fighting, sending blasts and ramming into each other.
A few minutes earlier
Ryu P.O.V.
"That was so good!" Luna gushed, as we left the main concert hall as Bud nodded.
"Yeah! I absolutely love Aika Hibiki!"
"I never thought I would see the goddess, I missed my chance to see her at the school. She was so beautiful" Zack smiled, as Nepgear and Ryu sweatdropped.
"Hey guys!" Neptune yelled, running up to the group. "How did you guys like that awesome concert!"
"It was awesome" Bud yelled, with a smirk as Luna nodded "Yeah, you guys definitely put a lot of work on it".
"Anyway! Ryu let's go to the wrap up party" Neptune smiled excitedly as she grabbed Ryu’s sleeve but Ryu rubbed his head.
"Actually I gave my ticket to Luna.” I told them, shocking the two sisters.
"REALLY?!” Neptune and Nepgear yelped, confusing me.
"Yeah, she’s clearly more excited about this than me.” I explained with Luna nodding.
“That’s right, so if you don’t mind let’s g-” "NO!"
"Huh, why not!" Luna blinked, as the two goddesses looked at each other.
"Okay, we'll be honest, there's someone who really wants to meet you Ryu," Nepgear explained, surprising the humans.
"R-Really?" Ryu blinked, pointing to himself.
"Why would someone like her want to meet this guy?!" Bud asked, pointing to Ryu making him sweatdrop.
"Yeah! He’s not even a fan of Aika Hibiki” Zack frowned.
"I feel like you guys don't know I'm here" Ryu sweat dropped, as Luna sighed.
"Fine, but!" Luna pointed up before turning to Ryu "You better get some autographs from Aika Hibiki for us”
“Alright alright, I promise” Ryu told them, making Luna smile before the trio walked off.
“Alright! So with that all settled! Come on Ryu! Let's do it!" Neptune cheered, grabbing the boy's hand before dragging him away.
"H-Hey slow down!" Ryu yelped, and even Nepgear was helping her sister pull him.
After a bit of running they had passed the room the party was at "Uh guys we passed the room the party was in?".
"We know" Neptune and Nepgear said at the same time, making him gulp.
"Where are you taking me?" Ryu asked, but they ignored his question until they eventually made it to an empty room and when they did Neptune pushed Ryu inside.
"H-Hey!" He said, as Neptune smiled.
"Heh heh! Hope y’all have fun~ we'll be at the party" Neptune wave, as she and Nepgear closed the door.
"Guys!" Ryu called, but the door was closed "Geez, what are those two plotting now?"
The room wasn’t anything special, just kind of a circular room with a few chairs and windows.
“Why were they in such a hurry…and who am I even supposed to meet?” Ryu questioned, walking ahead but then his eyes were covered up "H-Huh?!".
"Hehe guess who~" he heard, before the person let go of his eye and looked at him "Gotcha! Just kidding~”
"E-Eh?! Aika Hibiki" he blinked as he saw Aika Hibiki smiling cheekily at the boy
"Yup! It's me!" She grinned, as Ryu began sweating heavily.
"I-It's n-nice to meet you Aika… I really liked your songs tonight" he complimented, making the girl laugh.
"Geez don't be so nervous Ryu" she said, elbowing him a bit confusing Ryu.
"Uh, how do you know my name? Did Neptune and Nepgear tell you" Ryu asked, making her eyes widen.
"Oh right, guess you wouldn’t recognize me with my new looks" she realised, before pointing to her"It's me! Aika Hibiki, we used to be friends when we were kids! You probably don’t remember since I dyed my hair and revamped my look.”
"Aika…Hibiki…" Ryu mumbled, before his eyes widened "Eh?! I remember now! Hibki-san that was you!"
"There we go! I missed ya you doofus” She laughed, and quickly hugged Ryu making him blush “And enough with the Hibiki stuff! It’s Aika you hear.”
"O-Okay okay, but man we haven't seen each other since I left Planeptune" Ryu said, as Aika smiled.
"Yup, I finally was able to follow my dream and became an idol” she smiled, hopping back.
"Wow I'm so proud of you, I know this was something you always wanted" he said, as Aika blushed.
"Hehe, thanks! You have no idea how much that means” Aika smiled before perking up "But what about you? I thought you were in Leanbox but now you're living with the freaking CPU of Planeptune?"
"Yeah, my relatives couldn't take me in anymore because of their job, so I had to move to Lowee and then we moved to Lastation, eventually there was no one left that could take me in so the oracle offered to take me instead since my parents were friends with her and Neptune, butut how did you know?" Ryu wondered, making Aika smile.
"Well Neptune and Nepgear mentioned you, so after finding out about your situation I asked them to invite you.”
"I bet you must have some crazy stories since you stayed with them" she smiled, as Ryu thought back to everything that had happened to him.
'A lot of things really have happened to me since coming back to Planeptune… Meeting Omega-Xis, becoming Rockman…fighting the FM-Ian's… meeting the other goddesses' he smiled, before looking over at his childhood friend.
"Nope, nothing really.”
"Hey! Come on don't like me tell me".
"What? I told you the truth" Ryu snickered, which made Aika pout.
"I can tell you're lying, mister! So come on! Tell me!" Aika begged, pulling Ryu’s arm but before Ryu could tell her no again the lights suddenly began losing power as Aika got a message on her Transer.
"One sec" she said, checking the device which made her eyes widen and Ryu noticed that "Is something wrong?".
"Oh uh it's nothing, my manager is just looking for me" she explained, before frowning "I’ll have to go earlier than expected…OH! B-But I have a day off tomorrow so how about a date?".
"D-D-Date!" He blushed, brightly making her laugh.
"Hehe just kidding but you did promise we’d do something real fun back when we were kids~ so let’s hang out tomorrow afternoon alright.”
‘She remembers there…’ Ryu thought before nodding “Sure.
"Alright looking forward to it" she grinned, before leaving the room as Ryu sighed and crossed his arms.
"That was pretty good" he admitted, with a soft smile on his face before he got a message in his Transer.
“Huh?” he blinked, looking at it only for his eyes to widen when he saw that it was from Omega-Xis.
'Kid I'm fighting an FM-Ian here! I need your help so get to the roof ASAP!' It said, as Ryu got up.
"Better hurry" he said, before running to the roof.
Roof
Third person P.O.V.
Two streaks of green and pink lights flew through the city of Planeptune, clashing against one another in the sky.
The two clashed again causing a boom and the pink light went tumbling down onto the concert hall.
The light reformed into a groaning Lyra as she slowly picked herself back up "I knew it, I can't beat you like this.”
Omega-Xis beamed down onto the roof a bit away from Lyra "If you've come to your senses then go home already! Last chance!”
"I can't go home right now. Not till I win!" She growled, before noticing something behind Omega-Xis and smirking.
She turned into energy and dashed towards Omega-Xis who entered a fighting position but Lyra just passed him "What the?!".
Suddenly bright pink light blinded Omega-Xis and when he recovered he saw a shadowy figure in the light.
"Shock note!" He heard, before moving out of the way from an energy musical note shot towards him before exploding.
"Lyra, you performed an EM wave change" he growled, as the girl walked out of the light.
"That's right, monster! Now we're Gamindustri's new guardian of Love and Peace! Lyra Note" she declared, posing like a magical girl.
Lyra Note wore some pink knee-high boots with white toes, black leggings, a pink one-piece dress with a large heart in the center lined with gold, red and white striped sleeves, yellow bracelets, pink gloves, pink shoulder straps, and a long white scarf.
On her head was a pink helmet with a heart in the center, two panels on the sides, and a blue visor that hid her eyes. She also had short blonde hair and a blue instrument that looked like a mix of a harp and a guitar.
"I'm glad you came here just in time" Lyra thanked, as her host smiled and winked.
"No problem Lyra, now let's get this monster!" She smirked, while twirling the guitar around.
'…She's not controlling her host, it's just like me and Ryu…' Omega-Xis thought, as Lyra Note pointed at the FM-Ian.
"You better listen to me, monster! I'll let you get away if you give us the key" she said, as Omega-Xis dashed towards her.
"Quick String!" She yelled, strumming her guitar as she jumped back, sending strings which wrapped around his arm.
Omega-xis growled, before grabbing the string and throwing Lyra Note towards a wall.
“Woah! Stronger than I thought” she blinked, before smirking as she ran up the wall before throwing Omega-xis to the ground.
Lyra Note then jumped up to the wave road as Omega-Xis began blasting energy balls at Lyra Note.
“Hah! You’ll need to do better than that” Lyra Note mocked, jumping from Wave Roar to Wave Road before two speakers suddenly materialised next to Lyra Note.
"Shock Note!" She then strummed her guitar and the speakers fired blasts of blue shaped energy.
“Tch, not this time!” Omega-Xis slashed the blasts before dashing towards Lyra Note.
"BEAST CLAW!" He yelled, slashing the girl knocking her back.
" Pulse Song!" She yelled, strumming her guitar sending an energy heart towards Omega-xis paralysing him.
"D-Damn it!" He yelled, as she jumped into the air and sent a kick towards Omega-Xis knocking back down to the roof.
"Had enough monsters?" Lyra Note asked, with a smirk on her face but then there was bright blue light.
"W-What?!" She blinked, covering her eyes before looking over at the building “Don’t tell me…”
"ROCK BUSTER!".
Lyra Note jumped up away from the blasts before looking over to see Rockman aiming Omega-xis's head.
"Took you long enough kid!" Omega-Xis said, as a Rockman sweat dropped.
"S-Sorry, I had trouble finding the elevator and getting past the guards.”
"That's him! That's the guy that's the one that's been fighting my comrades" Lyra yelled, as Lyra Note looked at Rockman.
"I see now, you’re an accomplice that's planning on destroying this planet huh! Well then as the guardians of love and peace, Lyra Note, I'll stop you!"
"Uuuhhh, what?" Rockman asked, with a raised eyebrow before Lyra Note rushed towards Rockman.
"To protect this planet I'll stop you.” Lyra Note repeated as she tried kicking Rockman several times.
“Woah! Hang on!” Rockman yelled, as he dodged her attacks before blasting with her his rock buster forcing her to jump into the air while strumming her guitar.
"QUICK STRING!" She yelled, as several energy strings moved towards Rockman as he threw a battle card into the air.
"BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! SWORD!" He yelled, as Omega-Xis ate the card and transformed into an energy sword.
"Hah!" He yelled, slashing the string before rushing towards Lyra Note as she pulled out a battle card.
"BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! VULCAN" she yelled, strumming her card onto the guitar as the card summoned a Gatling gun.
“FIRE!” She yelled, making the gun begin firing at Rockman who knocked the blasts back with his sword.
“Now!” he yelled, locking in on Lyra Note before he dashed towards her and tried to slash her but she back flipped away from Rockman before strumming her guitar.
"PULSE SONG!" She said, sending an energy heart at Rockman.
"Don't let that touch you!" Omega-Xis said, with Ryu nodding before pulling up a shield, blocking the attack before firing at her as she rolled out of the way before summoning two boomboxes.
"Shock Note!" She yelled, strumming her guitar, sending two energy notes at Rockman who moved out of the way before throwing a battle card into the air.
"Battle Card! Predation! Ice Knuckle!" he yelled, as Omega-xis ate the card and transformed into a big gauntlet as he punched the Wave road
The wave road began freezing and moving towards Lyra Note but she jumped towards Rockman knocking them both off of the Wave Road towards the concert roof.
“Get off!” Rockman kicked her off before the two landed on the ground.
The two slowly got back up as they stared at each other.
"Hah…hah…have to admit, you’re not that bad blue" Lyra Note smirked, as Rockman nodded.
"Yeah, we're pretty even but I'm ending this now" he growled, pulling out three battle cards but then.
"I GOT YOU NOW ROCKMAN!" Goyoda yelled, making the two jump as the detective burst through the door to the roof with a group of Satella police.
"The Satellite police" Rockman blinked surprised as Omega-Xis scoffed.
"They must've detected us, let's take this chance to escape" Omega-Xis scoffed
They then turned into energy before flying off "Hey Wait!" "Get back here Rockman!"
"Grr! That jerk!" Lyra Note growled, as Lyra looked over at Lyra Note "We should follow their lead and leave.”
"Ugh, fine" Lyra Note pouted before they turned into energy and flew off.
"Gah! Why can't you people just follow the law!" Goyoda yelled.
Concert hall
Ryu P.O.V.
Ryu sighed as he walked out of the place he landed, before he opened his Transer and looked down to Omega-Xis "Man she was pretty tough, what was with that girl she acted like one of those magical girl animes".
"Lyra is a manipulative one, wouldn't be surprised if she convinced the girl we were the bad guys" Omega-xis explained, as Ryu looked down.
"Well at least we can try and convince her to stop.”
"Maybe…" Omega-Xis muttered, before noticing someone behind him.
"Oh I should go," he said, before the Transer screen closed.
"Ryu! Gotcha!" Neptune called, jumping on Ryu's back.
"Gah!" Ryu yelped, before looking over at the CPU "Geez Neptune, don't surprise me like that.”
"Sorry, sorry" she smiled, sticking her tongue out but not getting off him.
"How was meeting your old friend?" Nepgear asked, as Ryu smiled.
"It was nice, we're going to be hanging out tomorrow".
"Oh ho, so you're going on a date, kids these days grow up so fast," Neptune teased, making Ryu blush.
"I-It's not like that.”
"Sure~ anyway let's head back! Go horsey!" Neptune declared, hopping off Ryu and running off.
"Geez, she's such a handful" Ryu sighed, following Neptune but Nepgear smiled.
"She acts childish but she definitely cares about you Ryu, who's idea do you think it was to reunite you two.”
"Huh…" Ryu muttered, before shaking his head and smiling "Alright well, let's head back"
“Alright!” Nepgear nodded, as the two headed back home.
A bit around the corner, there was a bright flash of pink in a room before Aika walked out of the room and stretched.
"Geez that dude was tough" Aika sighed, as Lyra looked at her.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can defeat him next time.”
"Yeah you're right, cause together we're the best friend and the ultimate team.” Aika grinned, leaving for her apartment.
"Yes… we’re best friends…and the ultimate team…" Lyra muttered, as she frowned, not sure what to do.

We see Ryu, Neptune and Nepgear making their way back to the Planeptune Basilicom after the concert.
"So Ryu What are you going to do with Aika tomorrow?" Neptune asked, elbowing Ryu with a smug smile on her face.
"Not sure, you guys have any ideas," Ryu asked as they entered the elevator and had it move to the top floor.
"Ooh how about you take her to a museum, I hear they're doing an exhibit on old Robot and mecha games and anime," Nepgear suggested, with stars in her eyes making the two sweatdrop.
"That sounds like something you'd rather do," Ryu pointed out, making Nepgear turn her head away.
"I-I have no idea what you're talking about".
"Anyway, how about you head to the movies? I'm sure there's a couple of movies she'd like to see or heck, go to the arcade. Last time I checked they got some cool VR games," Neptune suggested as Ryu and Nepgear stared at her "Woah! What's with all the stare’s?"
"Nothing, just you don't think of good ideas like that".
"Hey what's that meant to mean! I can think of good ideas! I'm the protagonist of course" she pouted.
"S-Sorry! We didn't mean it" Nepgear apologised, as Neptune turned around.
"Fine! But you two both owe me a pudding" she pouted, as they walked inside only to see IF, Compa and Histoire watching the news which showed Rockman fighting Lyra Note.
"In other news, another vigilante much like Rockman has appeared and seems to have a rivalry with the Blue Hero shown here," the newswoman said, as IF frowned.
"Great another one of those guys" IF sighed, as Neptune ran up and hopped on the couch.
"Woah! I wonder who she's called.” “ As the Guardians of love and peace, Lyra Note, I'll stop you!" “Oh!”
"Oh hey welcome back you guys," Compa smiled, with a smile "How was the concert?”
"It was pretty cool, get this Ryu reunited with his old girlfriend" she smiled, making Ryu blush.
"Neptune it’s not like that, Aika Hibiki just used to be childhood friends.”
"Oh wow, that's an anime twist if I've heard one" IF smirked.
"Alright, well I'm going to bed I need to be ready for our meet up tomorrow" Ryu yawned, walking off.
"So I'm guessing you got something planned Nep?" IF asked, as Neptune grew a smug smile "Oh Iffy you know me so well".
"Sis, What are you planning?" Nepgear asked, with a worried expression as her big sister smiled.
"Oh you'll see my dear Nep Jr" Neptune said, with an evil smile on her face.
But unfortunately Ryu could hear the whole conversation as he sweatdropped.
"I'm guessing you two aren't gonna be alone tomorrow" Omega-Xis said, as Ryu sighed.
"No we will not.”
Aika's Apartment
Third person P.O.V.
"Hehehe! That was so awesome!" Aika sung, prancing around the room and jumping on her bed "Man I can't wait to hang out with Ryu more tomorrow!"
"Well I’m certainly looking forward to finally seeing mystery boy tomorrow" Lyra smugly smiled "You care about him a lot, I bet you two would make a cute couple.”
"W-W-What! No no no! It's not like that at all. We've just been friends since we were little kids, and I haven't had anyone my age to talk to ever since I got this Idol job! So of course I care about him a lot!" Aika scrambled to say, making Lyra laugh.
"Alright alright, you should get some rest for now, you have a big day tomorrow" she said, and Aika nodded.
"Fine, thanks Lyra…what would I do without you.” Aika thanked as went under her blanket to fall asleep.
Lyra couldn't help but smile before flying towards the building's roof so she could out at the nation of Planeptune which was coated by the night sky.
"Heh I can’t believe just how much I've come to like this world…especially Aika she's such a good kid" Lyra smiled, before noticing someone behind her.
"Seems like you've got a pretty strong host, Lyra" she heard, turning around to see Gemini.
"Ah! Gemini! I didn't know you were already here" Lyra gulped, as Gemini smirked.
"Yup, I even found my own host" Gemini smirked, moving towards her "Let me tell you, she is just perfect, so easy to manipulate…and I see you're getting pretty close with your host.”
"Yeah, so what?" Luna asked, as Gemini moved in front of her,
"You wouldn't have possibly gotten attached to her…have you? After all you’ve been together for sometime and yet only now do you try going after Omega-xis.”
"W-What! Of course not, it's just a lot harder with those Satellite Police and those Goddesses" she complained, making Gemini smirk.
"That actually gives me an idea, alright then just don't forget our true goals, we'll be destroying this planet soon" he smirked,before turning into energy and flying off.
Lyra frowned, as she looked at the city below her "…Do we really have to destroy the planet…".
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
"Okay, So Aika said we'll meet up around here," Ryu smiled, as he sat down on a nearby bench and looked up "She should be coming any moment".
"Why are you wasting your time on this date, we should be looking for Lyra and her host," Omega-xis asked, as Ryu looked down at the alien inside his transer.
"Oh come on Omega-Xis, I promised Aika I'd do this for her, besides it won't hurt to take a break from fighting every now and then," Ryu told him, as Omega-Xis scoffed
"What are you talking about? You get plenty of breaks.” "And how many of those days lead me to having to fight?” "Uuuhhh, that's beside the point,"
"Anyway, Aika should be coming soon" He muttered, making Omega-xis sigh.
“Fine, but I’m not going to waste time sitting around” Omega-xis told Ryu before flying out of the Transer.
Meanwhile from a distance we can see Neptune, Nepgear, IF and Compa Hiding behind some bushes while wearing the perfect thing to disguise a Goddess… a pair of glasses.
"Seriously Nep, how can you think these will work" IF asked, looking at the glasses as Neptune turned to her.
"Please, I've seen Vert go into plenty of Game stores wearing these babies and never being noticed once! They're even better than a good old cardboard box!"
"I guess?" IF sweatdropped
"I don't feel right, stalking Ryu and Aika like this" Nepgear frowned with Compa nodding next to her.
"Yeah Ge-Ge's right, shouldn't we just let them have fun Nep-Nep?"
"Oh come on Compa! This is our only chance to see Ryu being actually sociable! I refuse to miss out on the cringey delights!" Neptune grinned, as they continued watching Ryu.
"Oh hey! There's Aika!" Nepgear pointed, as they watched the two teens walking up to each other.
Aika was wearing a pink hoodie with a yellow shirt underneath, green shorts and blue boots with her guitar on her back along with a pair of glasses
"Hey Ryu! Sorry I'm late" Aika yelled, running up to her friend as he stood up "Were you waiting long?".
"No not really…what’s with the glasses?" He asked, as Aika smirked.
“Hehehe I knew you’d ask that! These babies are the perfect disguise for famous people like moi! They're even better than a good old cardboard box!"
“See! See! Aika agrees with me!” Neptune blurted out before her mouth was quickly covered.
However Aika still noticed this as she glanced at Neptune and the others hiding behind the bushes "Uh, why are they just watching us.”
"Just ignore them, so where do you wanna go?" Ryu asked, as Aika thought of it.
"Hmm, well wanna try seeing a movie first.” She asked, pointing to the cinema.
"Sure, what are you thinking?" Ryu agreed, as they began walking towards the building.
"Ooh! We gotta go and see Goobie the Dogoo 3! Goobie x Slimey! Planeptune mission!" She grinned, punching the aired
"That’s certainly a mouthful, but sure I forgot that you loved those kinds of movies back when we were kids" he smiled, making her laugh.
"Well why wouldn't I? They're awesome!” She grinned before pouting “But I haven't gotten a chance to watch any of the new ones because of my work, they don’t let me watch on my down time cause doesn’t fit my ‘image’”
“Oh? If they care so much about your image, is it okay to be out with me?" Ryu asked, looking worried but Aika grinned and held up a finger.
“What my producer doesn't know won’t hurt them~ Now come on! Let’s-a-go!” She grinned, before grabbing his arm and rushing to the cinema with Neptune and the others following close behind.
Cinema
Third person P.O.V.
"Oh, last night was so great! The only thing that would've made it better, besides actually getting to meet Aika Hibiki, is if Rockman showed up" Luna sighed, daydreaming as she, Bud and Zack walked down the street.
"Looks like she's in her own world again" Bud sighed, as the two boys carried some shopping bags filled with different clothes and other things.
"What can you expect, she's been doing that everyday" Zack said, fixing his glasse.
"But man you gotta admit, Aika Hibiki was so pretty" he grinned, making Zack nod.
"Yeah definitely".
‘Oh Rockman! I wish I could see you again' Luna continued walking with a bright smile on her face before noticing a familiar haircut.
"Rockman!" She gasped, looking over only to see Ryu walking up to the cinema counter with Aika "Aw it's only Ryu".
"Man you musta been really deep in that daydream, thinking that someone like Ryu was Rockman" he laughed, making her blush.
"Shut up! Bud" Luna yelled, pulling his cheeks as Zack looked closer.
"Who's that girl with him?" He questioned, as they both looked closer.
"That kinda looks like Aika Hibiki?" Bud said, as Luna shook her head.
"Of course it isn't! Aika doesn’t wear glasses! And besides, why would those two be hanging out together.”
"…He was meeting her…" Zack noted, as all three of them suddenly went quiet.
"You don't think…" Bud murmured.
"O-O-Of course not! Absolutely not! That is completely impossible” Luna yelled.
“...But maybe we should follow them, just to make sure," Luna nodded, as they followed the two inside.
A few hours later
Ryu P.O.V.
"Man, that was awesome! This was even better than Goobie the Dogoo 2!" Aika gushed, as we walked out of the cinema "That space battle at the end was so cool! I mean they freaking got Learn and Live playing! And when they turned into Golden Dogoo’s! I'm so glad we got to see it.”
"Yeah, maybe I should go see if Neptune and Nepgear would want to see the other movies? I mean that one was really good!” Ryu smiled, as they started walking out of the mall “I mean I saw the trailer, but the original design of Goobie the Dogoo kinda turned me off.”
“Yeah thank god listening to the fans turned out good for once!” Aika nodded “Unlike the many other times that it didn’t…anyway! So where do you wanna go next"
Before Ryu could answer, their stomach began grumbling at the same time "I guess we should get some food first.”
"Ooh! Alright sure thing! I’m feeling like crepes, so come on!" She smiled before running off as Ryu followed her to the food carts.
After a few minutes of walking they finally made it a crepe stand which had a lot of options, like 32 toppings.
"Ooh, so many and they all look so good! I wish I could have them all" she gushed, but the owner smiled.
"Hey, if you want you could get the 32 bit special.”
"32 bit special?" They asked, as he smiled even more .
"Yup it's all the topping into one giant crepe.” he declared “Finish the whole thing and you’ll get free of charge!”
"OH MY GOSH! YES! " Aika cheered, making the owner laugh.
"Alright little lady, give me a sec" he nodded, beginning to start work on her crepe.
Meanwhile Neptune and the others were watching them from afar "Ooh, wow that crepe does smell pretty good".
"Man, that movie was so good! I can’t wait for the next one with the Metal Goobie army!" Nepgear smiled while IF sweatdropped.
"It sounds like we're just having a day off instead of following them" IF sighed, shaking her head.
"Um, Nep-Nep who are those guys?" Compa asked, pointing to Luna, Bud and Zack sitting a bit away from Ryu and Aika.
"Oh hey, those are Ryu's classmates.” she blinked, turning her head “Why would they be following them?"
"Well they’re fans of Aika, so maybe they're wondering why they're together.” Nepgear suggested.
Back to Ryu and Aika sat down on one of the tables with Aika staring at the large crepe in her hands with stars in her eyes.
"This looks amazing! Thank you so much for paying for it Ryu!" She smiled, kicking her legs.
"No problem, I hope you enjoy it" Ryu nodded, while taking a sip of my drink.
"Ah, there are so many flavours of ice cream! Banana, Strawberry, Chocolate, Pudding, Caramel, Grapes, Mint, Potato, Milk, Seaweed, Red Bean, Eggplant and Smelt! With even more toppings! Ah I can't wait anymore" she gushed,
“S-Smelt?” Ryu questioned, before Aika bit into the desert
"Mmmm~! Itsh sho mahny flabours ahll ad once!” she gushed, her mouth completely full while holding her cheek and shaking her head before taking a few more bites really fast.
"You're eating all that a bit fast don't you think?" Ryu asked, as she froze.
"Huh? Oh uh, right, like I thought this crepe is really stuffed…" She then ate a couple more bites, and then more, until she started making an odd face 'Aah…Crap, it's too big…’
"Are you doing okay? If you want, you can get rid of it" Ryu asked, looking concerned, making her flinch.
"W-What are you talking about! I asked for this so I'll finish it.” She then gulped looking at the large amount still left over before looking at me "But… if you really want to try it… 1 or 2 or even 3 bites are fine by me".
Ryu help but smile looking at her, having the sudden urge to tease her a bit.
"I don't know, I'm a bit stuffed after the movie besides you ordered it.”
“Ugeh-!” Aika grimaced before clasping her hand together "Okay! S-Sorry, it's my fault! So please help me finish it!"
"Okay, okay" Ryu agreed, before she split it in half, he was about to take a bite before realising something.
'Wait… wouldn't this be a sorta indirect kiss…'
"Huh? Is something wrong Ryu?" She asked, snapping the young man back to reality as he shook his head.
"N-No, it's fine" Ryu smiled quickly while eating the dessert.
"Well how is it? Good right" She grinned, finishing off her own crepe.
"Yeah, it's really good.”
"Great! I'm glad you like- wait… wouldn't that be a…" she realised, as her face exploded into a blush "Um, I'm just gonna go to the bathroom."
"Oh um, sure" Ryu nodded, as she walked off.
"Well that was embarrassing" Ryu heard, before opening the Transer and moving away from Neptune and the others. "Oh Omega-xis you’re back. Where’d you go?"
“Meh just hung around a bit, watched a few movies while you were busy acting all lovey dovey back there, why don't you just tell her you like her already?” Omega-xis asked but Ryu shook his head.
"I can't do that, we're just friends besides we live in two different worlds, she's an idol and I'm just a normal guy.”
"Who's also a hero that fights against alien threats and lives with the leader of the Nation" he pointed out “Sounds to me like you’re a lot more interesting than other people on this rock.et
"...Fair point, but still Aika could be in serious trouble if people found out we were actually dating, I just think it's best to keep things the way they are.”
"Right, and I'm an alien.” “You are one" "NOT TO ME I'M NOT!"
"Ryu!" Ryu heard, before looking up to see Luna and the others walking up to him
"Huh? What are you guys doing here?"
"That's what we should be asking you!" Luna yelled, stomping her hand on the table .
"Yeah, what are you doing here with Aika Hibiki of all people!” Zack nodded.
“I mean you two were acting all lovey dovey and stuff Bud said.
“See they agree with me” Omega-xis whispered, while Ryu shushed him.
"Okay, okay let me explain" Ryu sighed, before motioning them to sit down "So remember back when you first showed me her and I mentioned I recognised her.”
Luna, Bud and Zack nodded as Ryu slowly composed himself "Well about that, turns out… she was actually my childhood friend, I didn’t recognise her since we haven’t seen each other since we were kids"
"WAIT WHAT!"
"How is that even possible!" Luna asked, demanding an explanation.
"Well, we used to be neighbours and went to the same school before I left Planeptune…her mom would always have to stay in the hospital because of her condition and her dad would have to work late, so she used to always stay at my place till her dad came to pick her up.”
"Damn, you really are lucky!" Bud grumbled, biting his lip as he was obviously jealous.
"So that's why your sisters wanted you to meet her, for a reunion" Zack deduced, making Ryu nod.
"Yeah, pretty much, I didn't recognize her at first because of how much she had changed her look," Ryu explained, scratching his cheek before they heard footsteps.
"Hey Ryu I'm back" she waved, as they all looked back at her before stopping. "Huh? Who are these guys?"
"Oh these guys are my classmates,” Ryu said, as she cocked her head.
"And why are they just standing there?" She asked, making Ryu snicker.
"They're fans of you so I guess they're just nervous.”
"Oh well it's nice to meet you guys, I'm Aika Hibiki! Though, I guess you already knew that" she introduced herself, making them jump.
"O-Oh R-Right I-I am R-Ryu's c-classmate L-Luna Platz” "I-I'm Bud Bison" "A-And I-I'm Zack Temple".
“Nice to meet ya! Thanks for taking care of this lil guy" She grinned, ruffling Ryu’s hair as he frowned.
"Hey! Can you not treat me like a little kid Aika” Ryu grumbled.
"U-Um if you don't mind, c-could we have your autograph?" Luna stumbled, making Aika blink in surprise.
"Huh, oh sure!". She then grabbed some napkins and quickly signed her signature on them before handing the paper to the group "Here,as thanks for being friends with Ryu! Just do me a favour and not tell anyone about this."
"Thank you!" They cheered, taking the autographs before running off.
"Hehe, they seem pretty nice," Aika smiled.
"Thanks for doing that for them,” Ryu thanked before standing up “So where do you wanna go now?"
"Hmm, I don't know… what do you think?" She asked as Ryu thought about it.
"Well Neptune was telling me about some new games in the arcade.”
"Ooh that sounds fun! Come on let's go" she grinned, grabbing Ryu’s hand again and dashing towards the arcade.
"Looks like they're going to the arcade, now what?" IF asked, as Neptune hoped up.
"What do ya think! WE GO! Besides there's a bunch a games I wanna try".
"That was nice,I’m happy those guys got her autograph" Compa smiled, as Nepgear nodded "Yeah, they're really big fans of Aika".
"Alright guys! Let's go" Neptune cheered, standing up before following Ryu and Aika.
However, above them on the wave road, we see the two Gemini Sparks watching them with Black having a sinister grin on his face.
Arcade
Third person P.O.V.
"Wow" They said, as they looked at the amount of games and machines in the arcade there was even an indoor roller coaster.
"Hey Ryu look, let's try out the VR game" she grinned, pulling Ryu’s arm towards the machine.
One game caught Ryu’s eyes as they infront of one that was a space shooter game where you pilot with the controller while using the VR helmets to feel like you're in the cockpit. "Woah! I've always wanted to try one of these.”
"I knew you’d say that, come on let's try it" Aika smiled, as they both sat down and put on the helmets.
Meanwhile Neptune and the others were sitting down on some seats in the arcade. Neptune was pouting as she looked at all the games.
"Aw man, why can't we play any of these!" Neptune pouted, like a child as Nepgear sweatdropped.
"C'mon big sis, we're here to support Ryu on his date.”
"Yeah Nep, you really need to learn some patience" IF sighed, as she drank some of her drink.
"Bah, he's fine cmon Nep Jr let's go and-" "SHUT UP! NEP-NEP!".
All three of them jumped as they slowly looked towards Compa who had a mean look on her face.
"Woah, that came out of nowhere…Compa are you okay?" IF asked, as Neptune nodded.
"Yeah girl! You're always so sweet and nice but now you've got that mean look on yer face. I know! Let’s go chill with some ga-” "Be quiet NepNep! I always have to do whatever you want! You never even consider if any of us are okay with it! well I'm sick of it.”
The others could watch with their mouths agape as they watched Compa walk out of the arcade, completely confused by her sudden change in personality.
"What the heck was that?!" Neptune yelled, as IF got up "I don't know but we should go and talk to her about i-”
"Um guys, I don’t think that’s our only problem" Nepgear pointed, making Neptune and IF look over to see a lot of people acting strangely.
There were many people having fights against each other's even if they were seemingly friends.
“God stop following all of them!”
“Hey this was my place in the line!”
“Stop crying you little brats!”
“Can you shut up for a second and let someone else speak!”
Meanwhile Ryu and Aika had just finished their game as they left the game machine "Man that was so fun, it felt like we were really in space.”
"Hehe, gosh you really haven’t changed since we were kids! Still obsessed with Space as always” Aika grinned, as she walked ahead of Ryu.
Ryu was about to follow her but then he felt a tug on his arm "Ryu!".
The boy opened his Transer secretly away from Aika's view "Omega-xis I'm busy what's up?".
"There's some weird waves going around that's somehow affecting people, look around" Omega-xis told him, as Ryu looked up to see loads of people fighting and having arguments.
"It's definitely gotta be-" "RYU!" Ryu quickly closed his Transer when he saw Neptune, Nepgear and IF running up to them.
"Huh, what are you guys doing here?" Aika lied, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, weren't you back at the Bascilicom" Ryu followed her up.
"Uuuhhh… we can explain later, anyway something weird's going on" Neptune told them, as Aika turned her head.
"What do you mean Neptune?" she asked, as IF walked up
"Just look, everyone just started fighting suddenly" she said, pointing to the people "Question is, who's doing this?".
"That would be us" They heard, before they all looked up to see both Gemini sparks on the floor above them.
"Hey I know you guys! Noire told us about you" Neptune yelled pointing at the pair, as Gemini Black smirked.
"Looks like you’re finally getting some recognition again, you must be so happy" He smirked, as Gemini White timidly nodded
"Y-Yeah…and it’s all thanks to you”
‘Why does that voice sound kind of familiar,,,’ Ryu thought, looking up at them.
"Were you the ones that's making everyone act this way" IF asked, as Gemini black smirked.
"Oh we just thought we'd draw a certain someone out, but instead we got the goddess, lucky us!".
The Gemini's then raised their arms before firing bolts of electricity at the group.
“ ACCESS!” With a bright flash Neptune quickly transformed into her Goddess form and blocked the attack.
"Nepgear get Ryu and Aika out of here, IF help me with these guys" Purple Heart told them before she and IF dashed towards the two.
Gemini Black then jumped towards them while activating his electric sword to clash with Purple Heart’s blade "White! I’ll keep these two busy! You go after them, we can't lose the boy!".
"O-Okay!" White nodded, before disappearing into the Wave Road.
“What! No, I have to protect them!” Purple Heart gasped, as she was about to fly towards her sisters and the other to protect them from Gemini White intercepted by Gemini Black
"Oh no you don't!" He said, before kicking her back.
"Why are you after Ryu!" Purple Heart asked, as Gemini Black looked at her.
"What do you mean, don't you…" Black questioned, before his eyes widened and a smirk grew on his face "Oh, you don't know…do you?”
He then entered a fit of laughter confusing Purple Heart "Hey! Why are you laughing! What don’t I know!”
"Hehe, you know you should really keep an eye on that kid more" Gemini Black smirked, confusing the goddess.
"What?" She asked, before Gemini Black dashed forward to punch her.
The two then began battling with IF helping people still in the building.
Outside the building
Third person P.O.V.
We see Ryu, Aika and Nepgear running out of the building as Gemini White landed in front of them.
“Sorry but you’re coming with me” Gemini White frowned, activating her electric blade as she rushed towards them.
“I won’t let you!” Nepgear yelled, blocking the attack with her laser sword.
The two clashed their blades a few times, as Ryu and Aika just watched, unsure of what they should do.
"Damn it, Ryu, we need to transform!" Omega-xis whispered, as Ryu looked at him.
"We can't, I don't want Aika finding out about us!"
"What's more important, this secret identity or our lives?" Omega-xis yelled, as Ryu closed his eyes.
'Damn it!’ “GAH!”
“Nepgear!” Aika gasped, causing Ryu to open his eyes as Nepgear was shocked by Gemini White’s as she crashed to the ground.
“No! Nepgear!” The two ran up to check on her, before turning towards Gemini white who had activated the Cannon card.
"Take this!" She yelled, firing at them as Ryu gripped his transer before standing up.
“Ryu no! We have to ru-” "EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!"
With a bright flash Ryu and Omega-xis fused together to become Rockman, as they created a barrier to protect the others.
"Ryu…?" Aika questioned, shocked at what her best friend just did "You're Rockman…”
"…Aika… please get Nepgear to safety" he told her, before flying towards Gemini White as they both changed frequency to fight in the wave world.
"Ryu… was Rockman, this whole time" Aika muttered, as Nepgear forced herself back up and nodded.
"Y-Yeah, I was surprised when I first found out as well.”
"But how... a-and why! W would he just throw himself into danger like that" Aika asked, as Nepgear smiled.
"I…think that's just who he is" she guessed, confusing Aika.
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since I first met him, he's been helping so many people including me and Neptune, and to be honest I sometimes wish I was the one fighting instead of him".
"You do?" Aika said, surprised as Nepgear nodded.
"Yeah, after so much time Ryu’s become someone important to me…but this is what he wants to do…that's why I want to help too in any way I can.” Nepgear explained, before forcing herself back up
"Aika can you get away on your own?" She asked, as Aika nodded.
"Yeah, I think I can.”
"Okay, I'll see you soon" she nodded, before summoning her energy sword and running into the building as well while ignoring her injuries.
Aika wasn’t quite sure what to do taking in all of the information she had just learned, her best friend was a superhero and not only that but the enemy she was told to defeat.
"Lyra, is it true…did you lie to me?" Aika asked, looking at her guitar as the alien nodded.
"It's true, I'm not the spirit of music… I'm an alien sent here to destroy the planet" She explained, as Aika looked at her.
"Then why go after Ryu?" she asked, as Lyra sighed leaving the guitar
"His partner…Omega-xis was an old friend of mine, but one day he stole the weapon that we’ve use to destroy planets that went against our empire, the Andromeda Key, my mission was to try and get it back.” Lyra explained, before a soft smile grew on her face "But I've come to like this world quite a lot, all thanks to you and that's why I don't want to see this world destroyed…”
"R-Really?" Aika gasped, surprised “Lyra…”
"Mmh, both of our species working together really brings out both of our full potential, so that's why I want to help you protect this planet…and…I WANT TO KEEP MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER AIKA!” Lyra admitted, before moved in to try and hug her.
“Ah Lyra! I love you too! And I wanna keep making music together as well! We’ll be the best partners in both Gamindustri and your planet!” Aika cheered, before smirking “So…want to show off our reaal debut.”
“You know it! Partner!” Lyra nodded, as Aika stood up.
"Alright, then let's sing together Lyra! As the ultimate duet!, Lyra" Aika smiling, before spinning around her guitar.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! AIKA HIBIKI! ON AIR!"
Arcade
Third person P.O.V.
"Take this!" Gemini black yelled, using his electricity sword to slash at Purple Heart who blocked it with her sword.
"Go to hell!" IF yelled, shooting several bullets towards Gemini Black distracting him enough for Purple Heart to slash him knocking the alien toward the ground.
"Tch" he scoffed, before looking up and noticed Gemini White fighting Rockman on top of the coaster track.
"Oi! White get over here" Black yelled, as White nodded.
"R-Right" she said,as they both moved to each other.
They then held each other's hands, charging electricity into their body before firing at Purple Heart and IF.
"Gah!" They yelled, falling to the ground as Nepgear ran up to her sister.
“Big sis!" she called, helping Purple Heart back up.
"These ones… they’re stronger than the other aliens we fought" Purple Heart panted, as Rockman to help IF back up.
"Yeah, who are they?" IF asked, managing to stand back up on her own.
"Not surprised, they're the strongest of the FM-Ian kings guards" Omega-xis frowned, as IF looked at him.
"Well do they have any weaknesses" she asked, as Omega-Xis sighed.
"Not unless we can get a pool over her…”
"Heh, I think it's time to end this" Gemini Black smirked, as Gemini White nodded.
"Yeah, it's time to liberate this country of its goddesses.” Gemini White said, as they were both about to attack when suddenly they started hearing the playing of a guitar "Huh?".
"Where's that music coming from?" Black growled, as White pointed up "Over there.”
Everyone looked up to see Lyra Note on top of the roller coaster, playing a song.
"A thing that everybody has, a special place they seek! A clear blue sky that's far awayyyy, yeaaaah!"
"Who is that?" Purple Heart wondered, as Nepgear followed her gaze "She’s that other person Rockman fought last night!
"Don't ask if we can separate, as we're chasing after dreams"
"Why is she here? Is there a news forecaster for you lot" IF sighed, looking up.
"Don't stop believing that this feeling will never chaaaaaaange!"
'I know that voice… could Lyra Note be!' Rockman thought, as Lyra Note strummed her guitar which sent a shock note towards the two Gemini's.
"I gave my heart for always and forever! I promise you this truth will always remain!"
"What are you doing Lyra!" Gemini Black yelled, throwing some electricity towards Lyra Note but she jumped into the air.
"I gave my heart through the calm and stormy weather!"
"Two hearts bound together, forever we'll sing!"
"QUICK STRING!" She yelled, sending energy strings towards them as the two Gemini's dodged the attack.
"Nice to meet all of you! From here on I’m new Gamindustri's guardian of Love and peace! And the one fighting alongside Rockman!" Lyra Note declared, stretching her arm out diagonally before entering a pose with her arms clenched next to her head "But you can call me… LYRA NOTE!"
"Tch, let's get out of here" Gemini Black growled, as they changed their frequency before flying through the building.
"Oh no you don't" Lyra Note yelled, following them as a Rockman stood up
"Let's follow them" Omega-xis told him, Rockman chased after them.
"Damn, we lost them again" Purple Heart sighed, before returning to normal "Geez if only there was a way to follow them when they do that then we can get more action outta these stories instead of always being left in the dust.”
Roof
Ryu P.O.V.
When me and Omega-Xis landed on the roof we saw Lyra Note fighting off the two Gemini's.
"She needs our help!" I said, pulling out a battle card.
BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! SWORD! WIDE SWORD!
Omega-xis ate the two swords, transforming my two arms into two energy swords before I ran towards them.
Gemini Black was about to slash her but I caught the attack with one of the swords.
“Forget about me!” I asked before slashing him back with the other sword.
"Thanks Ry-Rockman" Lyra Note smiled, as Rockman looked back at her.
“You’re not calling me a monster or going to fight me anymore?” Rockman teased, making Lyra Note pout.
“Oh my mister, ‘I have a Dragon Head for an arm’” Lyra Note shot back.
"Lyra, you'd really betray us?" Gemini black growled "I shoulda seen this coming, you've always been soft.”
"Hey! What's that meant to mean!" Lyra yelled, as Lyra Note laughed.
"Come on, we'll show them" Lyra Note smirked, dashing towards the Gemini Black and I dashed towards Gemini White
"Rocket Knuckle" Gemini Black yelled, charging up electricity into his gauntlet before sending an energy punch towards her but Lyra Note moved out of the way before strumming her guitar.
"PULSE SONG!" Lyra Note then moved up close and fired a heart shaped blast which knocked him back before she pulled out some battle cards.
“How’s this for some new tunes?” She smirked, inserting the battle cards, causing a Plasma Gun and a Flame Wheel to appear next to her “GO!”
Gemini Black looked up and dashed forward, absorbing the Plasma Blast while dodging the Flame Wheel.
“Fool! Take this!” Gemini Black yelled, shooting a blast towards Lyra Note as she jumped to the next Wave road.
“Not bad, but that doesn’t mean I’m out yet” Lyra Note smirked “You might wanna look behind you by the way.”
“Huh-GAH!” Gemini Black yelled, being hit in the back by the flaming wheel “Bitch!”
Meanwhile I was fighting Gemini White, with our swords clashing against each other.
"Why! Why are you helping the FM-Ian's! Don't you know what they're trying to do!" I yelled, as she frowned.
"B-Because I want to change this world!” She yelled, jumping back “We don't need goddesses here, humans can take care of themselves"
"That doesn’t mean you should destroy them and everything they’ve built! There has to be a better way to do this!" I yelled, rushing towards her to punch her.
"E-EEP!" "Huh?!" I yelped, tripping up a bit as she ducked from my attack.
"Man, what's up with this earthling? Why would Gemini fuse with her?" Omega-Xis wondered, as I looked at him.
"I don't know if she does seem a bit of a push over" I admitted, scratching my cheek.
“ROCKMAN! LEAVING IT TO YOU!” Lyra Note then kicked Gemini Black towards Gemini White making him growl.
"Oi idiot, what are you doing?" Gemini Black yelled, as White gulped.
"I-I'm sorry, I-I've just haven't done fighting at this level in so long…it’s so scary…”
"Tch fine, we've gotten what we're after anyway" Gemini Black frowned.
"You're not going anywhere!" I yelled, pulling out three battle cards before I threw them all in the air before Omega-Xis ate them.
BATTLE CARDS! PREDATION! ANNON! HI-CANNON! Giga-CANNON! PROGRAM ADVANCE! IMPACT CANNON!
A large cannon weapon appeared in my hand, before I fired a powerful blast towards the two.
"Tch" Gemini Black scoffed, summoning a Black portal before the two walked through so the blast didn't hit them.
"Hah…hah…they get away" I grunted, as I fell to my knees.
"Rockman, are you okay?" Lyra Note asked, dropping down next to me.
"Come on, let's get somewhere safe" she told me before we both changed our frequency.
When we got back we were near the arcade as I slowly stood up "Thanks, but why the sudden change?"
"…I guess I finally saw the real you, and what you fought for" she smirked, clearly trying to sound cool as I smiled.
"Yeah… thanks…Aika" I grinned, making her freeze up and with a bright flash she turned to normal.
"You knew?" She asked, as I nodded, returning to normal.
"Yeah, your song was kind of a give away…sorry for not telling you what I was really doing..." I apologized, as she shook her head.
"Hey hey, I'm just as in the wrong here as you are" she apologised before a sudden a ding sound was made as Aika checked her Transer.
“Sorry to cut this cute moment short Aika, looks like your producers are looking for you.” Her FM-Ian partner said from her Guitar.
“Seriously, it’s my freaking day off…hah, sorry Ryu looks like we’ll have to end it here.”
"Oh…alright" I muttered as I watched her walking off.
"Actually…" she said, stopping herself making me perk up.
"What?" I asked, as she quickly spun around and ran up to me,
“Hrmm?!?!” I blinked as she planted a kiss on my lips and after a moment she stepped back, both our faces bright red.
"Sorry…I just didn’t want you to feel the same as I did back when we were kids…so…s-seeya!"
She then ran off before with a bright flash she transformed and flew off.
"Well, well looks like you might get yourself a little girl friend after all" Omega-Xis laughed, as I continued looking dazed.
"P-Please stop Omega-Xis.”
A few hours later
Third person P.O.V.
"NEP-NEP! I'M SORRY!" Compa cried, as she hugged her best friend.
"There there Compa, it's alright it's not your fault it was those alien dude".
"So Compa really called Neptune stupid?" Ryu asked, as Nepgear nodded.
"Yeah, it was really surprising you should have seen it” Nepgear told him “By the way, where did Aika run off to after Gemini showed up.”
Ryu blushed a bit as he looked away. “I’ll, um tell you later.”
“Oho? Don’t tell me little Ryu and Aika did some lovey dovey stuff now that we were finally away from them” Neptune teased, clearly supposed to be a joker but Ryu blushed brighter “Wait, did you?”
“Aika…may have…k-kissed…me.”
“WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT?!?!?!?!”
Neptune, Compa and Nepgear gawked at him, with Nepgear looking the most shocked.
“Heh, you shouldn’t have told this group Ryu” IF smirked walking off.
“Okay Ryu! I need all the deets like now! I knew you were childhood friends but I didn’t think you were that close” Neptune grinned, jumping on him.
“I wanna hear too! Let me get some tea for us!” Compa smiled getting up and rushing to the kitchen.
As the sudden chaos went on, Nepgear couldn’t help but hold her chest. ‘Huh…I should be happy for them…but what is this feeling…’
Planeptune streets
Third person P.O.V.
We see several cars driving through the street, moving down faster than usual.
“Damn it! I can’t control this damn thing” The Driver growled, as he tried taking back control of the car.
Within the wave world, several viruses were on top of the car messing with its controls.
However the Viruses then stopped when they heard a familiar tune whistling into the air.
“HAH!” A figure yelled, jumping as he blasted a large and powerful charged shot at the Viruses from the Wave Road, deleting them allowing the car to finally stop.
Moving up to the Wave Road, it reveals an armoured warrior that looked like Rockman except red and much more sharper, his helmet's visor was black and had a mouth piece and he had a red shield in his hand.
“Hehe! Nice job Aniki! You totally beat them in one hit!” A voice from the shield cheered, as the warrior smirked.
“Thanks Scorpio, but we still have a long way to go if we’re going to find that guy” The warrior nodded, as they dashed through the wave road.
However what they didn’t notice was that Cygnus Wing was watching them with a smirk on his face.
Chapter 9: The Scorpion of Lowee
Chapter Text
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
It was a peaceful night in the city of Planeptune, no a single noise in sight… until…
"GET BACK HERE! YOU MENACE!"
"Tch!" The Red Warrior scoffed. as he flew away from the Satella police chasing after him "Man, these guy persistent".
"Get back here Rockman! You got nowhere else to go" Officer Goyoda yelled, as the Red Warrior growled.
“Man, Aniki! These guys are jerks! We’ve already told them we’re not that Rockman jerk!" Scorpio yelled, as the Red Warrior’s hand transformed into a buster.
It took a few seconds of charging but after that he blasted in front of the cars, causing a small explosion which stopped them in place and when the smoked died down Goyoda got out of the car the Red Warrior was already gone.
"Damn it! He's already gone…I'LL GET YOU ONE OF THESE DAYS! DON'T YOU FORGET IT!".
"Geez, that bastard is annoying and super persistent, he seriously needs a hobby! Right Aniki" Scorpio asked, as the Red Warrior landed on the wave road.
“Hey, why not give him some credit. This is probably the most exciting work he’s gotten in awhile.”
"Scorpio" They heard, before turning around to see Cygnus Wing standing there, his arms crossed “Don’t tell me you’ve become a human’s lackey like Omega-xis and Lyra!”
“Friend of your’s Scorpio?” The Red Warrior asked, while the FM-Ian shrugged.
"No idea, who are you again?" He asked, as Cygnus Wing twitched.
"It's me, Cygnus don't you remember".
"Huh, oh right well what do you want?" Scorpio shrugged, as Cygnus frowned.
"Why are you just wasting time, our mission is to get the key back.” Cygnus scoffed “Listen, I have a job for you that involves working with a group that’s going against the CPU’s.”
"Well here’s the thing! I work under Aniki now! So i’m only doing what he wants to do!” Scorpio exclaimed “Let’s leave this loser Aniki…Aniki?”
The Red Warrior didn’t move as he looked at Cygnus “This group against the CPU’s…are you a part of them?”
“Hmm?” Cygnus Wing blinked with a raised eyebrow “I wouldn’t exactly say working with, just that our goals align.”
“And I assume you plan on betraying them when all is said and done” “Well of course, they’re just tools in the end.”
“Alright, then I’m in…I’ll do your little job.”
“WHAT?!” Scorpio gasped.
“And why would a human want to join us?” Cygnus Wing asked, with a raised eyebrow.
“Hmph, let’s just say one of those groups against the CPU…went after someone important to me…and I plan on getting revenge…” he explained, before turning around
“What’s your name?” Cygnus asked, with a raised eyebrow while lifting up something.
“You can call me Blues- guh" Blues blinked, as a yellow collar wrapped around his neck "The heck is this?! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"Aniki!" Scorpio gasped, as jolts of electricity coursed through Blues body "What did you do!"
"Just a little something to make sure you do what I want and don't betray us~" Cygnus Wing smirked.
The next morning
Lowee city
Third person P.O.V.
"Ah, AH CHOO!" Ryu sneezed, forcing him to wipe his nose while shivering a bit “Forgot how cold Lowee is…”
Ryu, Neptune and Nepgear were currently on a carriage ride back to the Lowee Basilicom.
"Geez Ryu, I told you to put a warmer coat on" Nepgear sighed, handing him a scarf.
"Thanks Nepgear, sorry about that.” Ryu smiled, which caused Nepgear to look away.
"W-Wow, Lowee's even prettier then I heard" Nepgear smiled, trying to change the subject by looking out the window.
"Yeah, it's even prettier out in the countryside," Ryu nodded, remembering his stay with his extended family.
"You know, I've always wanted to visit Lowee," Nepgear smiled, looking at the scenery.
"Yeah, you haven't exactly made that the best kept secret, huh?" Neptune replied, with a smile.
"It was so nice of Rom and Ram to invite us to stay with them, I just wish Blanc would let them travel to other countries so they could meet us" Nepgear smiled.
"Yeah, I'm kinda surprised they didn't leave me out, they haven't been really subtle about what they think of me.” Ryu sweatdropped.
"Cheer up Ryu, they just haven't gotten used to yet" Nepgear reassured him, patting the young man’s back.
"But seriously though, Blanc really does have a stick up her butt for that stuff, she better pull it out soon or she'll end up friendless like Noire" Neptune pouted.
"You know I can hear you right" Noire, who was sitting opposite of the group along with Uni, deadpanned "AND I'VE GOT PLENTY OF FRIENDS DAMN IT!"
"Sorry, sorta forgot you were there but hearing that right at your face is just the thing you need to make a change" Neptune laughed.
"I DON'T NEED ADVICE FROM A SLACKER LIKE YOU.”
"I'm starting to regret talking you into making me come along on this trip" Noire sighed, as Uni smiled.
"Holy shit, do these goddesses ever shut up" Omega-Xis growled, while rolling his eyes.
"Yeah they do yell a lot" I mumbled, looking down at him in my Transer.
Lowee Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
In the Lowee Basilicom we see one of the many maids working there making her way towards one of the rooms to clean it up, when suddenly.
SPLASH!
"KYAH!" She screamed, as a bucket of cold water fell on her, drenching her.
"HAHA! WE GOT YOU!" "That was fun" Two girls laughed, as the maid turned around to see the twin candidates of Lowee, Rom and Ram.
They both looked similar except that Ram had longer brown hair and pink eyes while Rom had short brown hair and blue eyes.
They both were wearing grey dresses and tights with a shirt underneath the dress, and each had a ribbon Rom having blue and Ram having pink.
"MISS ROM! MISS RAM! YOU TWO GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" The maid yelled, as they both ran away with her chasing after them.
As they ran off, they passed by a room where Vert and Blanc were having a meeting.
"Are you sure about this?" Vert asked, with a serious look on her face "You do realise what this means, carrying out this plan will entirely change the world as we know it.”
"I'm well aware of that," Blanc nodded, quietly "We have to make sure nobody finds out about it until it's implemented, especially not the invaders.”
While they were talking, we could hear Rom and Ram screaming gleefully as the maid chased after them.
"Grr…" Blanc growled, her hair covering her eyes so we couldn't see them. She then stood up and slammed open the door.
"ALRIGHT YOU LITTLE SHITS! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO PIPE DOWN WHILE I'M WORKING!" She screamed, causing the maid and the twin goddesses to stop running.
"I'm so sorry my lady" The maid bowed, as Rom and Ram ran up to Blanc.
"Hey Big Sis! Check this out" Ram yelled, as she pulled out a book and Blanc took a look inside.
"Huh?" The interior of the book had scribbles all over it, one of which depicted Blanc with a shadowed out face except with one glowing red eye "This… is my…"
"It's a drawing of you!" Ram smiled.
"We got the sharp teeth just right!" Rom continued, as the twins closed their eyes and smiled.
"You…you…you destroyed my precious book…" Blanc stuttered, as she made the same face as on the book.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" "HEY THAT'S THE FACE WE DREW!"
“GRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!” Blanc yelled, before the twins began running away.
"GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE!".
Blanc chased after Rom and Ram but as they turned the corner they saw Neptune, Nepgear, Noire, Uni and Ryu standing there.
"Nepgear! Uni! You made it!" Ram yelled, as Nepgear smiled "Mmhm, how could we say no".
"Hiya Blanc! How goes it" Neptune waved, as Blanc blinked.
"Oh, um hello?”
"Hehe, let's party" Neptune winked.
Garden
Third person P.O.V.
"So bet you’re wondering why we’re here" Neptune said, as the four goddesses sat on a table "Well we heard about this new theme park that just opened up in Lowee, so we're gonna crash with you and check it out".
"Histoire warned me, she specifically told me to give you lessons on how to be a worthwhile CPU while we're here" Blanc pointed out.
"Blah! That's just a waste of time, I mean that's pretty much what I learned from my last lesson with Noire" Neptune pouted, as Noire turned to her.
"That makes two of us," Noire scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"Speaking of the theme park, I've been hearing some very good things, it could be a lot of fun to take the young ones and go as a group," Vert suggested, looking over the candidates working on a snowman.
Meanwhile Ryu was sitting alone next to the wall as he pulled his Visualisers down, showing that Omega-xis was next to him.
"Now this is what I'd expect from a goddesses home" Omega-xis smirked after looking around the Basilicom.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool here in Lowee it’s just so different from the other Nations” Ryu smiled, looking at the snow.
"Right, didn't you used to live here?" the FM-Ian asked as the young man got up
"Yeah, with my aunt and her two sons, they were around Rom and Rams age last time I checked" Ryu nodded while wiping off some snow as he walked to the Cpu candidates who were building a snowman."Hey what are you guys building?"
Ram looked at him before turning her head "Like you need to know dummy".
"Come on Ram, don’t be rude just tell him" Nepgear asked, but Ram just huffed and looked away.
"We're building our favourite hero, Rockman!" Rom excitedly said, making Ryu and Nepgear sweat drop.
"Oh… oh wow you really like that Rockman guy don't you?" Ryu sweatdropped with an awkward smile.
"Yup, he's so cool! Everyone in our classes loves him! So much cooler than a dummy like you" Ram smiled “We even met him once when he stopped by the Basilicom! I bet a Dummy like you must be soooooo jealous!
“Y-Yeah, s-super jealous…” Ryu sweatdropped with a weary smile 'This is so awkward, but I should've expected this.
"Hey guys, do you wanna go to that new theme park!" Neptune yelled, as they all looked toward the Goddesses.
"You mean Super Nintenland!" Ram yelled, as she and Rom ran up to the CPU’s with the others following.
"I WANNA GO! I WANNA GO!" "CAN WE SIS! PRETTY PLEASE!"
"Actually it might be better if you went with the others.” Blanc muttered, looking away
"Eh? You're not going" Neptune blinked, surprised at her fellow CPU.
"Why not?" "Don't you wanna?" Rom and Ram asked, turning their heads.
"I want to… I just can't" Blanc muttered, looking down.
"It's not because of work is it? You've heard the saying 'working means you've lost at life' now that's some good wisdom" Neptune quoted, with a proud smile “Words to live by!”
"Neptune, some bum on youtube said that" Noire deadpanned, before jumping as Blanc then slammed her hands on the table while standing up.
"It doesn't matter, I just can't go…" she said, walking off while Rom and Ram frowned, looking at her sister.
Super Nintenland
Third person P.O.V.
"Woah!" Ryu gawked, as they walked through the large theme park
There were yellow question mark boxes all over the place, along with breakable tan blocks.
Spinning coins, pipes, long vines and various other things could be seen placed all over the park.
Of course there were more traditional attractions, like the mushroom themed Ferris Wheel, and the Super Ninten Castle, a castle which had been created with EM waves to mimic the level of an old Lowee game.
There was also a rollercoaster, but it was still under construction.
Green, Blue and Red Pipes could be seen all over the park, and when one jumped in them, it would lead them to other parts of the park.
The clear ones would lead you to various underground areas, where secret prize booths could be found.
There were also mushrooms all over the place, which were made from a special material that allowed you to bounce on them.
The most interesting thing the group had noticed were the large tortoises walking around the park.
"Man, how did they do all of this?" Ryu gawked, as the group walked around and inspected the large park.
"Try checking your visualisers" Omega-Xis told him, making Ryu blink as he placed the glasses over his eyes.
"Woah!" He said, as he looked at the park "So cool, most of it is made up of EM waves"
"Mmhm, in fact this technology was developed by your Uncle's team" He heard, before looking over at Vert behind him.
"Wow, really?" Ryu gasped as he excitedly looked at the Goddess with stars in his eyes.
'He's so cute!' Vert smiled "Yes, in fact I asked him and his team to help with a certain project that can change the world.”
"Wow, I can't wait to see it! Lady Vert!" Ryu said, before Vert smiled.
“How about I give you and the others an early showing as long as you do one thing” Vert said with a wink confusing Ryu “All I need you to do is keep an eye on Rom and Ram, make sure they don’t get themselves in trouble.”
“Oh um…I’ll try my best”Ryu nodded, before blinked as the Candidates ran into the theme park.
"Come on Rom, let's go!" Ram cried, pulling her sister along.
"Girls wait, you forgot your tickets!" Nepgear cried, chasing after the two girls, being forced to hold their coats.
"Nepgear! You forgot the tickets!" Uni cried, chasing after her friend.
"Don't forget the map!" Ryu called, following them as well.
"Ah it's so nice to see the young ones having fun" Vert smiled, as Neptune nodded.
"Yup it sure is, it’s the first time I’ve seen Ryu do fun stuff like this since his date.” Neptune grinned, catching Vert’s attention.
“A Date?”
“Oh yeah, it was super adorbs! I just had to follow, check it” Neptune grinned, showing Vert the pictures she took when following Ryu and Aika.
“Wait, isn’t that Aika Hibiki?” Noire blinked “That’s that new Planeptune Idol right? How does he know her?”
“Oh! Those two used to be total besties back when they were kids! And when I found out I just had to reunite them” Neptune grinned.
“An actual childhood friend trope between a normal boy and an Idol! Amazing!” Vert said before a sly smirk grew on her face “You seem to care a lot about the boy Neptune.”
“Well of course I would, his folks always talked about him before they disappeared” Neptune smiled.
"Well then I hope you wouldn't mind me taking Nepgear since you have Ryu now," Vert smiled, making Neptune jump.
"What no way! Nepgear's my little sister you jerk! And you can't have Ryu either!" Neptune yelled..
"Geez, you two are so childish" Noire sighed, shaking her head.
As this happened, over at the park we see Rom riding one of the large brown turtles as Ram jumped on top of a large colourful mushroom.
They both were clearly having fun as they jumped into a group of blue pipes that brought them to other parts of the park.
"Hey! Nepgear! Uni! Where are you guys?" Ram asked, looking around.
"I don't see them," Rom frowned.
"We're over here!" Nepgear said, as she, Uni and Ryu popped out of the blue pipes.
"Don't go too far away!" Ryu called but Ram frowned at Ryu before jumping out of the pipe.
"Cmon Rom let's stay away from this dummy" she said, jumping out of the pipe as Rom followed.
"Aw man, what's their problem with me?" Ryu sighed, as Nepgear sweatdropped before noticing something.
"H-Hey look it's a Kupo kitty coin" she pointed, grabbing one of the floating coins while trying to change the subject.
"Hey! I found a Dogoo one as well" Uni nodded, trying to do the same.
Rom and Ram laughed as they ran up to a pair of floating coins and picked them up.
"Aw mines just a Terat" Rom sighed.
"Yeah so is this one, talk about lame" Ram nodded, before Ryu walked up to them.
"Hey I think I see some rare coins over there!" Ryu said, as Ram just frowned at him.
"I don’t need your help!...Let's go Rom" she said, while Rom just blinked before they ran off making Ryu look down.
"Aw man" He sighed, as Omega-Xis looked at him.
"Heh, you weren’t kidding, kids really don’t like you.”
"Yeah, but it’s usually not this bad…I wonder what her problem is with me,” Ryu muttered.
“Hey how about we just go off on our own for a bit” Omega-xis suggested, making Ryu blink.
“But, Lady Vert told me to keep an eye on them” Ryu reminded him as the alien crossed his arms.
“All you’ll be is stressing all of you out, just leave the two brats to the two bigger brats and let’s go have some fun” Omega-xis told him. “Besides, what's the worst that can happen?”
“Well…when you put it like that…” Ryu muttered, looking over at the rest of the park “Guess it wouldn’t hurt to go off on my own for a bit.”
As Ryu went off on his own we moved back to Neptune, Noire and Vert.
"One rainbow road special" Neptune ordered, while buying some peaches from the food stand as Noire and Vert sat down on a bench.
"You would imagine Blanc would be acting more of a diplomat, since CPU's from other countries are visiting" Noire huffed "I mean she's the face of her country, and it could be prettier.”
"That's a little harsh don't you think" Vert smiled "I know what you're saying but I think we all got some growing up to do, well except for me of course.” Vert said, with a prideful smirk making Noire sweatdrop.
"R-Right…actually, now that I think about it, what are you doing here in Lowee?" Noire asked, before hearing a scream.
"AAAHHHH! HELP THIS MONSTER TURTLE'S TRYING TO TAKE MY PEACHES!" Neptune yelled, one of the green turtles having jumped on her, trying to eat the bag of peaches in her hand. “NNNNNNOOOOOOO! SOMEBODY CALL A PLUMBER! OR AT LEAST A SHREDDER! NO! STOP IT! MY PEACHES!".
With Rom and Ram, they were running around the park before noticing a coin depicting a monster.
"Woah look! It’s a Guard Dragon coin! That's like a totally rare item" Ram gasped.
Rom then pointed to the distance at more coins in the distance "But there's a lot more over there.”
"Huh? Oh wow! They’re all guard dragon coins!" Ram jumped, "Although, maybe we got enough already.”
"We do, but I wanna bring some home to Blanc" Rom said, as Ram pouted.
"Seriously, I don't see why, she didn't even bother to come here.”
Rom just frowned at what her twin said "I know but…".
Ram noticed the sad face her sister was making and smiled "Your right, maybe if we collect a hundred, she can get a life.”
"Yeah!" Rom nodded, as the two ran off collecting coins however they soon stopped when they heard a whistle.
“Huh? Is someone whistling? What kind of song is that?” Ram wondered, looking around.
“I thought we were the only ones here” Rom muttered before smiling “It’s a nice song though.”
As the two walked past an allway, in the shadows, Blues was standing there with two other people.
First was a girl with grey skin and green hair with red eyes. She wore a black most themed hoodie and a black tube top. She also wore grey trousers and black boots.
The other was a large fat yellow lizard-like monster with a long tongue.
Back with Nepgear and Uni , they were walking around the park a bit "Hey Uni, have you seen Rom and Ram?".
"I think I saw them go after those coins" Uni guessed, as they both followed the row of coins.
"Rom! Ram! Where are you- Huh!?" Nepgear gasped, as she saw a passed out Rom and Ram being held by the large yellow lizard.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing!" Uni yelled, about to summon her weapon when suddenly something stabbed her back.
"Gah!" Uni cried, as she fell down to the ground and passed out.
"Huh?! Uni what happened!" Nepgear yelled, before getting stabbed in the back as well and passing out.
“Sorry, can’t have you interfere” Blues said, standing over them.
Castle
Third person P.O.V.
"Woah, we're so high up" Ryu gawked, as he looked at the scenery from the large castle.
"Meh, it's not that exciting" Omega-Xis shrugged, as Ryu pulled down his Visualiser and looked at him.
"Oh yeah bet you've seen a whole lot of great sights out in space.” Ryu smiled, making Omega-xis smirk.
"Oh yeah, you should see the M-78 galaxy" Omega-Xis nodded, crossing his arms with a nod.
Ryu then blinked as he noticed something in the distance the ground that showed a lot of wave energy.
"Is that…" Ryu mumbled, pulling up his Visualiser before moving towards the telescope and checking it.
His eyes then widened when he saw Nepgear and Uni on the ground with several people including a large lizard monster holding Rom and Ram.
"Oh no, this isn't good" He yelled, before moving back "Omega-Xis we need to help them!"
"Right, let's go Ryu!" Omega-Xis smirked, as Ryu lifted the Transer.
EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!
With bright flash the two fused and transformed into Rockman before they rushed towards the ground.
"Heh not bad, new guy, you may be a weirdo but your partner’s pretty handy" The green haired girl smirked.
"Hey, who are you calling weird Lindex.” Scorpio yelled, annoying the girl.
"IT'S LINDA!" She screamed, as he shrugged.
"Break it up you two, so what should we do with him?" Blues asked, pointing to the lizard.
"Ahaha! Such cute little girls" he jumped around, as Linda sweatdropped.
"Oh you mean Trick, yeah we should probably keep them away from him, I'm bad but I ain't that ba-".
"Stop!" They heard, before turning around to see Rockman there aiming his buster at them.
“Rockman? You’re here already…but the only other person here besides the CPU’s was…oooooohhh”
"Oh hey Omega-xis, what's up?" Scorpio waved, making Rockman blink.
"Well that's not what I was expecting" Rockman blinked with a sweatdrop.
"Scorpio, didn't expect to see you poking your tail around here" Omega-xis growled.
‘Rockman? You’re here already…but the only other person here besides the CPU’s was…oooooohhh’ Blues thought, turning to Rockman.
"Oi, new guy, do you know him or something?" Linda asked, as Blues looked back at her.
"Hmph I think so…Get out of here I'll meet you at the meet up spot.” Blues told her as the Underling nodded.
"Right, come on trick" Linda called, as she walked off.
"Oh right, coming~," he sang, bouncing off.
"So Omega-Xis how long has it been, two years?" Scorpio asked, as Omega-Xis asked.
“Yeah, I would've thought you'd be going around causing mischief like you always do, not merging with a human,” Omega-xis said. “You’re even letting him in control.”
“Oh hi pot I’m kettle guess what you’re black” Scorpio pointed out “Besides! This guy’s my Aniki! I’m with him till the end of the line.”
“Wait, so if you’re in control…why did you do this to Nepgear and Uni! And why are you kidnapping Rom and Ram!” Rockman asked, looking towards Blues.
“Let’s just say…there’s something I’m after, my best lead is to work with these guys and I’m not going to let anyone stop me” Blues explained, before pointing his buster at Rockman “So finally warning, stay out of my way.”
“Hmm…” Rockman frowned, glaring at Blues.
“Hmph, guess that’s a no then” Blue said, as the two got ready to fight but then Scorpio noticed something.
"Hey wait a minute, looking closer…you look kinda familiar" Scorpio said, pointing at Rockman surprising him and Blues.
“You know him, Scorpio?” Blues asked, looking down at his shield.
"Oh right! Were the kid of those guys that was always talking about their kid! Well until that thing happened on their ship.”
'Wait what!' Rockman thought, but Omega-Xis looked at him.
"Ignore him, he's just trying to get into your head.”
"Alright that’s enough” Blues said, looking towards Rockman.
“Now if you excuse me, I gotta make this look good" He declared, before dashing toward Rockman.
"Oh crap!" Rockman yelled, jumping back and firing his Buster at the Red warrior.
Blues however blocked the attack with his shield before firing back, before charging up and firing huge blasts at Rockman.
“Woah!” Rockman ducked out of the way before hiding behind one of the stalls "Why are his blasts so much bigger than ours!”
“Not sure, Scorpio couldn’t do something like that before” Omega-xis growled before thinking about it “Maybe he modified his Transer to make him stronger…but something like the must come with a cost.
"And what would that be?" Rockman asked, as Omega-Xis looked at him.
"It means he can't use battle cards.” Omega-xis told him before Blues jumped above them.
"THAT'S RIGHT!" Blues yelled, firing at him as Rockman jumped back and landed on the wave road before firing at the Red warrior.
"But I don't just have my Buster" he said, raising his shield as an energy scorpion tail came out and lunged towards Rockman.
BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! WIDE SWORD!
With a quick flash Rockman's arm turned into a sword as he raised his arm to block the tail.
The tail however spun around Rockman to stab him in the back so Rockman had to quickly grab the tail and with all of his strength he threw him away.
“Tch, not bad.” Blues smirked, as he landed on the ground and the two aimed their busters at each other.
“HAH!” Blues yelled, firing a large charged shot towards Rockman who blast several rapid shots.
This broke the large blast down allowing Rockman to jump over the attack before throwing a punch at Blues.
“Hmph, sorry but that won’t be enough” Blues smirked, as he raised his shield, blocking the attack before pushing Rockman back.
BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! VULCAN!
Summoning the gatling gun, Rockman then fired several shots towards Blues who dodged each one before running forward and sliding under Rockman.
“What! Gah!” Rockman yelled, getting blasted from behind by the Red warrior.
“You have to be faster than that! If you can’t react to your opponents movements” Blues said, before thrusting the shield forward which this time it summoned two claws the rushed towards Rockman.
BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! BARRIER!
Rockman then crossed his arms causing a barrier to cover his body which blocked the attacks.
“I-Is he training us?” Rockman questioned, as the Claws repeatedly punched the barrier.
“That little bastard, who does he think he is!” Omega-xis growled “Let’s show him what we can really do! Go all out Ryu!”
“What but-” Rockman grunted, being pushed back a bit more “Geh, fine!”
Rockman then pulled out three cards before throwing them into the air as Omega-xis ate them.
BATTLE CARD PREDATION! CANNON! HI-CANNON! M-CANNON! PROGRAM ADVANCE! IMPACT CANNON!
Omega-xis then transformed into a large cannon as Rockman aimed at Blues “TAKES THIS!”
Rockman then fired a large beam towards Blues who stood his ground and smirked.
“Oh so you’ve already made it to this level huh? I’m impressed…but…” he then raised the shield which caused a holographic shield to protect him “Not nearly enough.”
“WHAT!” Rockman gasped, as the blast bounced off the shield and shot right back at Rockman before hitting him “GRAAAAAAAAHHH!”
Rockman was knocked off the wave road as his frequency changed before crashing on to the ground “G-Gah!”
“Oi! Ryu! Get up! Ryu!” Omega-xis growled, as he pulled Rockman back up.
“You should stay down, you know you can’t beat us” Blues said, aiming his buster at Rockman.
“N-No…I’m not gonna let you get away…with what you did!” Rockman yelled, glaring at Blues.
"Stop it!" The two heard, before looking over to see Noire aiming her sword at the two. "You two better tell me what in the world is going on right now!”
"Heh, so you're the CPU. Nice to finally meet you, but I gotta bounce" Blues smirked before changing his frequency so he could fly off on the wave road.
"No stop!" Rockman yelled about going after him but Noire threw her sword in front of him so he wouldn't leave "What are you doing! He's getting away.”
“Hmph, you may have fought alongside us but you’re just as much of a threat as he was” Noire stated, glaring at Rockman as she resummoned her sword and pointed at him.
“What! But you don’t understand!” Rockman tried to say as he stepped back a bit before stumbling due to his injuries.
“Wah!” he yelped, falling back only to be met with a soft sensation at the back of his head.
"My my, how bold" He heard, before jumping back to see Vert with a smile.
"S-S-SORRY!" He bowed, with a large blush on his face.
"Enough!" Noire yelled, pointing her rapier at Rockman "You're coming with us to the Basilicom, and don't you dare think of any tricks.”
“Noire is right, besides look at you’re in no condition to run off on your own.” Vert told him as Rockman looked aside.
“Well…” "GUYS!".
"What! Neptu-" Noire frowned, turning her head only for her eyes to widen when she saw Nepgear and Uni on the ground fidgeting.
"UNI!" Noire screamed, dropping her sword as she and Vert ran up to the two and proceeded to shake their bodies to try and wake them up.
"Nepgear…Uni…" Rockman muttered, looking down "What have I done…".
"Come on… we need to go…" Omega-Xis told, as the two changed frequencies disappearing from view.
Lowee Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"This is all my fault…" Ryu frowned, as he looked down at the unconscious bodies of Nepgear and Uni on hospital beds in the Basilicom hospital.
Ryu had reverted back to normal not too far away from where the CPU’s found the candidates and explain the situation as best he could, that some people had rushed in to take the Candidates but before they could grab Nepgear and Uni, Rockman came and stopped forcing them to leave with just Rom and Ram.
"If I didn't… If I just stuck with them then I could've transformed and beaten those guys easily" He frowned, gripping his hand.
Omega-xis just floated behind Ryu with his arms crossed "Look you can't change the past, you can only change the future, we're going to find Scorpio and his human, along with those other guys, then we'll kick their asses as payback.”
"Right" Ryu nodded, standing up and walking out of the hospital only to be met by Neptune.
"How are they?" She asked, while Ryu put up a fake smile.
"They're alright, the doctors said they're just resting,” he explained.
"Oh good, man it sure was lucky you were saved by Rockman before that red dude could get you” Neptune smiled, while Ryu looked aside.
“Yeah…lucky…”
As they continued walking they saw Vert and a frustrated Noire walking towards them.
"Hey Noire, what's wrong?”
"It's Blanc, we tried to apologize for what happened but she wouldn't even let us in," Noire said, as Ryu looked up.
‘They shouldn’t be the one apologizing…’ Ryu thought, looking at the room as Neptune, Noire and Vert moved towards the room.
He waited for a bit for the girls in the room to leave but after they did Ryu moved closer to the room and heard mumbling.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault I should've come, I'm such a horrible sister"
"Um, Lady Blanc" Ryu asked, slowly opening the door as she looked at Ryu confused.
"I thought I said, I didn't want to see anyone.”
"I-I’m sorry, I just…I just had to say something…I’M SORRY!" Ryu quickly bowed, surprising the Lowee CPU.
"H-Huh?!".
"It was my fault that Rom and Ram were taken, it was my job to watch them but they didn't want me with them so I just left them alone. I'm sorry if I had stayed with them this never would have happened.”
Ryu closed his eyes, expecting to have to experience the famous rage of CPU White Heart however Blanc just placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It's alright, don't blame yourself" Blanc assured Ryu as he looked up at her "I should've been in the first place, I've just been working so hard that I didn't even have any energy to go with them.”
"Ah I understand, you must have really swamped with so much Goddess work.”
“Y-Yes…G-Goddess work…” She muttered, looking aside at something which confused Ryu as he looked in the direction of where she was looking at what looked like some book he didn't recognise.
"What's this?" he asked, walking up and picking it up.
"H-Hey Wait don't!" she gasped but Ryu had already started reading the info.
It was pretty interesting, it was about a large number of people being brought into another dimension with gaining the power to turn into a different beast, with the leader being the one destined to defeat an evil darkness who was currently his friend.
"L-Lady Blanc… what is this?" Ryu asked, as she looked at the young man with a blush on her face.
"I-It was a book I started writing, the deadline was coming close so I was pulling a lot of all nighters.” She muttered, with a huge blush on her face.
"So that's why you were so tired" Ryu muttered, flipping through the book as she nodded "Well if anything it is interesting.”
"Really?" She asked, looking up with an excited look in her eyes.
"Yeah, though if might be good to have a bit more depth to your characters but otherwise…I'll definitely buy a copy when you publish, Lady Blanc"
It was a nice moment we were having until suddenly the doors burst open.
"LADY BLANC! MY NAME IS ABNES AND I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU!" They heard, as the two of them looked over to see a little girl with a group of camera men behind her.
Abnes has long sandy-brown hair with teal eyes and bright pink bow on top of her head with skull in the center along with red lining and white frills on the end.
She wears a matching bright pink lolita-style dress accompanied with numerous white frills in layers and a red bow in the center with yet another skull.
On her legs are light pink stockings with bright pink ankle high boots with red ribbons in the center.
"Hey Lady Blanc doesn't want any-" “Move it kid! I got a Broadcast to do!” Ryu tried to stop her but Abnes quickly shoved him aside.
"Broadcast?" Ryu blinked, as the men had the cameras begin rolling and the broadcast began.
"Hello to all our viewers across the world, this is Abnes, the idol to little girls everywhere! Today, we're here to visit Blanc, Lowee's little girl CPU!"
"Will you knock it off before I –" Blanc growled, as Abnes turned to Blanc.
"By the way, is it true that your little sisters, Rom and Ram, got kidnapped?" She asked, with a smug face.
"How did you know!?" Blanc gasped, in horror.
"So it is true. So, how does it feel to have your precious little sisters snatched away from you?" she grinned, as Blanc looked down, her hair covering her face.
"Um…well…" Blanc stuttered, getting more and more uncomfortable as Abnes kept battering her with questions.
"Well then, are you saying it's all your fault your sisters got kidnapped?"
"Well..."
"Get a load of this! The little girl CPU can't say anything at all in her own defense! Little girls just aren't cut out to rule a nation, after all. They should be living carefree lives full of fun and games. Abnes Channel stands wholly opposed to little girls playing CPU."
"Alright, this little bitch is really getting me mad" Omega-Xis growled, as he began shaking Ryu’s arm.
"H-Hey what're you doing!" Ryu gasped before he was forced to punch the camera, shattering it.
"H-Huh? S-Sorry!” Ryu apologised as everyone just looked at him surprised.
"Hey brat! What do you think you're doing! You're ruining my broadcast!" Abnes yelled, before the doors opened again.
Everyone looked over to see Neptune and the others walking in "Hey what's up with all the noise".
"Oh great, and who are you?" Abnes asked, as Neptune walked up.
"I'm Neptune, goddess of Planeptune! Who the heck are you!”
"So you're another goddess?" Abnes mused, looking up and down at Neptune "Well I suppose you look passibly old enough to justify hitting puberty, although…"
"You've barely begun to develop, you're definitely a little girl! That's what I declare" Abnes exclaimed, which annoyed Neptune.
"Say what! Am I really being called a little girl, you should look in a mirror missy!" Neptune yelled, which angered Abnes.
"What was that! I am certainly not a little girl! And besides it takes one to know one!"
"Yeah and that means since you're tossing around all these little girl claims,your one too!" Neptune shot back.
"Gah! You said it again I'm out of here" Abnes growled, as her and her crew ran off.
"Geez what was that about?" Noire sighed, as Vert placed her hand on her chin.
"I wonder how her and her crew got in here.”
"Ugh" Blanc murmured, before passing out.
"Huh! Lady Blanc!" Ryu yelled, catching her before she hit the floor.
"Woah, what did she pass out?" Neptune asked, helping Ryu pick her up.
"I'll get some help" One of the maids said, running off.
"Could it be that the people are losing their faith after watching that broadcast?" Vert wondered, but Noire shook her head.
"No, a CPU wouldn't lose its power that quickly," Noire said, as Ryu looked up.
"Come on let's bring her to her bed" Neptune said, as they placed the unconscious Blanc on her bed.
"Ryu, could you please leave?" Vert asked, turning to Ryu.
"Huh? Why" Ryu asked, turning his head.
"I have something private to discuss with Neptune and Noire," she said, and Ryu nodded.
"Oh sure, alright" Ryu agreed, before walking out the large door.
"So what are we gonna do now?" Omega-Xis asked, as we walked down the hallway of the Basilicom.
"There is only one thing to do" Ryu said, gripping his hand. "We need to go and save Rom and Ram."
Computer room
Third person P.O.V.
"So what's all this about Vert?" Neptune asked, as Vert typed away on the computer.
"The truth is Blanc has been working on a certain plan for sometime now" she said, continuing to work "And part of it well… remember the test Satellites we sent up into space, before we all sent out our 4 satellites".
"Oh yeah I remember that wasn't it called… Uh… Sagitari… something" Neptune said, as Noire nodded.
"Weren’t they shut down after we sent up satellites Leo, Pegasus, Dragon and Phoenix?” Noir asked, crossing her arms.
"That's what we thought as well, but after what happened with Rockman in your nation we decided to take a look. It actually turns out that all of the satellites are still working and they're still capable of relaying images from around the entire world" she told them showing them pictures of different parts of Gamindustri and beyond.
"However, they had low resolution when Lowee discovered them, so I had the Leanbox labs to develop a new technology that uses EM waves to analyse and process the data to produce high resolution images, and not only that but allow us to see EM waves much like Ryu's visualisers.” She explained.
"Awesome, Just leave it to nerdy Vert and her tech savvy ways" Neptune smiled, as Vert continued.
"Once we came up with it, I approached Blanc with an offer, if Lowee would provide the image data from their satellite system then Leanbox would provide the software".
"But that would give the two of you a monopoly on all of the world's information!" Noire yelled, as Neptune jumped.
"Oh man, that messed up, do you realise how much trouble that'd cause us.” Neptune nodded, pointing at Vert.
"Yes, trust me we know" Vert nodded, turning to the other CPU’s "And that's exactly why we decided to share the technology with the world".
"It was Blanc's suggestion of course, think of it as a gift to celebrate our friendship treaty" she said, surprising Neptune and Noire.
"You don't say," Noire said, as Vert nodded.
"It's true, we were just trying to find the right time to go public with the news.”
Ding!
"That's the computer done, as Ryu said, there was one of those FM-Ian's at the site, so we can easily decide where they are now,” Vert explained “Though we only have a completed map of Lowee so far and with how fast those aliens can move…”
The three looked into the map and saw two energy signatures near Super Ninten land "Hmm… how odd"
Super Ninten Land
Ryu P.O.V.
"Are you sure they're here?" I asked, as me and Omega-Xis snuck into the large theme park again, except this time it was pitch black.
We continued walking through the closed theme park as I put on my visualisers "I don't see any clue around here".
"This is going to take all night" I sighed, as Omega-xis stretched "Well we better get started".
But as we walked suddenly I heard a familiar tune "Isn't that Jack's song?"
"Let's check their" Omega-Xis suggested, as we ran down the path following the sound of the music, when we made it, the song was coming from a ride that was under destruction.
"Is that where they are?" I wondered, before suddenly some shot at us.
"Woah!" I yelped, jumping back before putting on my visualisers and looking up to see Blues standing on the wave road.
"Sorry but I can't let you get those two girls," Blues told them, as Omega-Xis growled.
"RYU! Go and get the hostages I'll keep him distracted" he yelled, dashing towards Blues as I ran into the building.
It was pretty dark and there was still building materials all around the place, but I ignored them and continued to look for Rom and Ram.
"Help! Someone help!" "Hey let us go!"
“AH! That’s Rom and Ram!” I realised, quickly running ahead until I saw the large yellow lizard throwing around Rom and Ram with his tongue.
"Oh god that's disgusting" I gulped, before looking down 'I can't fight him without Omega-Xis, so I'll need to think of a better plan'.
"That's it" I realised, opening up my Transer before summoning Neptaur who appeared in front of me.
"Nep! Nep!"
"Neptaur I have a special job for you, I need you to try and dig under that big guy until I say so".
"Nep!" He said, as he began digging underground while I picked up a pipe.
"Hey!" I yelled, with the pipe in my hand as the large lizard turned around
"Hey! I'm push healing these little girls" he yelled, glaring at me as Rom and Ram looked at me.
"Ryu!" "Dummy" Rom and Ram cried, as I growled.
"Let them go now! You weirdo" I yelled.
"Oh it's just some little boy, sorry but I ain't into that" he scoffed, turning back around as I ran towards him.
"I said let them go!" I swung the pipe at him but it didn't do much as he dropped the girls before wrapping his tongue around me.
"You're gonna be pretty annoying, fine I'll crush your bones!" He yelled, tightening his tongue around me.
"Gaaaaahhhh!" I cried out in pain. I slowly looked down and saw Rom and Ram hitting the lizard.
"Let him go, you jerk!" "Yeah, don't hurt him" they yelled, as the lizard laughed out loud.
"Hehehe, you should've brought some back up little boy" he said, as I looked down at him.
"Good thing I did" I smirked, confusing him "NEPTAUR NOW!".
"What are you talking abou-" "NEP!"
The lizard looked down and saw Neptaur popping from a hole next to him.
"Hey now what tha-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" He yelled, following through a collapsed dropping me before he did.
"Ow" I grunted, slowly getting up as Rom and Ram ran up to me
"Dummy! What do you think you were doing! You could've died" Ram cried, but I placed my hand on their heads.
"Because, I didn't want you guys to get hurt" I smiled, slowly getting up "So how about we get out of here".
"LITTLE GIRLS!" The lizard yelled, as he jumped out of the whole "Hehehe, pretty good trick but you can't stop the great Trick".
Trick started bouncing towards us as the two girls hid behind me but before he could do anything.
"That's quite enough" We heard as the wall slammed open, with all of us looking over.
"Now who's this?" Trick asked, as we saw Vert walking out of the wall.
"Vert!" We yelled, as Vert looked towards us.
"Ryu why are you here? No matter, I need you to get the kids out of here.”
"Right," I nodded, but Trick began laughing
"Hehe, sorry lady but I'm not into big ones" he said, as Vert blinked.
"Oh and what's your problem with my chest" Vert asked.
"Cause they sag".
Suddenly a green eerie sure surrounded Vert as she stared at the lizard "Ryu, get them out of here now I'm going to show this monster a lesson".
I nodded as we ran away while Vert transformed into Green Heart and dashed towards Trick.
Abandoned ride
Third person P.O.V.
"Hey Trick I just got the old hag to give us the ransom mo-" Linda said, walking inside only to see Green Heart beating the crap out of Trick.
"…Yeah I think it best to get out of this one" Linda gulped, slowly closing the door and running off.
'Yeah! I think it's best I get the money and leave, Somewhere like Planeptune or Leanbox' she thought, stopping when she saw Neptune and Noire.
"Oh hey that's the girl with the big lizard that took the kids" Neptune pointed, as Linda stepped back "Oh crap more".
"I'm not surprised, she's likely dumb enough to think we'd do what she said without a fight" Noire said, readying her rapier.
"Hey hey hey! I was just doing a job you see, this old hag and a weird bird dude said they'd give us a boatload of money if we bring them those two kids".
"Huh, sounds like an excuse from an underling" Neptune said, as Linda nodded "That's right, I'm just an underling so if you excuse me".
But before she could leave, Neptune and Noire transformed into their goddess forms.
"Like hell you're getting away!" They yelled, before beating up Linda and tossing her out of the building.
"CAN'T BLAME A GIRL FOR TRYING!" Linda yelled, as she rocketed through the sky.
Meanwhile Ryu, Rom and Ram were running through the abandoned building trying to find a way out of there.
They smiled when they saw the exit and were rushing it but then Ryu noticed the roof cracking.
'Oh crap' he thought, before pushing Rom and Ram out of the door as Omega-Xis crashed through the roof, blocking him from getting away.
"Mr Ryu!" "Dummy!" Rom and Ram yelled, as Ryu looked up.
"You guys get out of here, I'll find another way out" he told them and they nodded before running off.
"You okay Omega-Xis" Ryu asked, helping Omega-Xis up.
"Yeah, he's pretty tough.”
"Looks like we'll need to transform," Ryu frowned, and Omega-Xis nodded before entering his Transer.
EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!
With bright flash, Ryu transformed into Rockman before jumping up to the wave road to see Blues.
“So you two are fused now" Blues said, entering a fighting position.
"What are you doing! Their only kids" Rockman said, as Scorpio laughed.
"Heh, Hey we;re just trying to make things look good for the boss man, as long as you ruin their plans then everything is fine" he said, before Blues dashed towards Rockman.
“So now, time to make this look good!” Blues jumped up and tried punching Rockman but he rolled out before blasting him knocking Blues back.
Blues changed his arm into a cannon and blasted at Rockman but he dodged out of the way before using a sword battle card.
Rockman then dashed towards Blues and slashed at him but Blues blocked it with his shield before blasting his chest, knocking him back.
The two jumped and glared at each other before rushing back to continue the fight.
Rockman was first to strike, throwing a punch right at Blues who raised his shield blocking the attack.
This was then followed by Blues firing a power charged shot right at Rockman sending him flying back.
“Battle card predation! Vulcan!” Rockman yelled, changing his arm into a gatling gun.
He then began shooting at Blues with a large amount of bullets but Blues quickly raised his shield blocking the attacks before jumping into the air.
Blues then proceeded to throw a kick towards Rockman but he dodged out of the way before blasting him in the chest.
Blues then used the sharp tail and wrapped it around Rockman's leg and threw him towards the ground.
"Ow" Rockman grunted, changing his frequency before looking up to see Blues who looked to be floating in the air.
"You know this was fun but I think it's time to end this" Blues said, aiming at Rockman but before he could.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Trick screamed, as he flew towards Blues.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Blues yelled, as the two crashed into each other before flying off into the night sky.
"What… just… happened?" Rockman and Omega-Xis said, the same time as they looked at the flying figures in the sky.
A few minutes earlier
With Rom and Ram
"Ow!" Trick yelled, as he crashed out Sadie of the building "Geez that old hag of a cpu, well at least got away from her"
"Now where are those little girls?" he frowned, before spotting them in the distance climbing over a fence.
"There you are, my pretties!" He yelled, shooting his tongue towards the.
"Oh no!" Rom and Adam screamed, closing their eyes but before they could be caught a hammer hit the tongue away.
"Get your filthy tongue off my precious little sisters," Blanc warned, walking out of the shadows. "You'll pay for this, ya frickin' pervert!"
"Pervert? My, you flatter me." Trick laughed out loud "That's the nicest thing anyone's told me.”
"Well then, guess I'll have to kill you with kindness" Blanc said, and with a bright flash she transformed into her goddess form, White Heart.
"Prepare to die! You sick bastard!" White Heart yelled, as she dashed towards the large lizard.
Trick whipped his tongues towards the goddess but she dodged out of the way before flying up high and slamming her axe down on him knocking him to the ground.
"Die you! You disgusting bastard" White Heart screamed, as she swung her axe "Tanzerin Trombe!"
This knocked Trick into the air and as he flew, Trick shouted, "Little girls forever!" as he flew off..
Going back to her human form, Blanc turned to the twins "Rom, Ram, sorry for putting you through this. I'm a failure as a sister,"
"Big sis, we brought you these," Rom said, pulling out four identical coins, which were used to lure them. They had the heads of a dragon.
"Their Guard dragon coins!" Ram added.
Their older sister smiled as she came in for a hug "Thank you, I love them".
From the distance we see Rockman watching these scenes with a gentle smile on his face, before he changed his frequency and disappeared.
The next morning
Third person P.O.V.
"Sleep Deprivation?!" Neptune and Noire yelled, in surprise as Blanc nodded.
"Yeah. That's why I lost consciousness, and why I didn't go out with you" she nodded.
"What the heck?" Noire sighed, shaking her head.
"I've been pulling all-nighters for a while now, so I was in no state to face you guys. Yet you saved Rom and Ram. Thank you so much, Vert, Noire."
"And thank you Neptune, for standing up for me when the lady was filming me" she said, as Neptune smiled.
"Hehehe, no prob!”
"Big sis look!" Rom came in and showed a book with her face drawn in crayon.
Originally the cover had pictures of five people on them, a Red one with a peach on his head, a humanoid blue Gorilla, a humanoid black dog, a humanoid pink pheasant and an Oni girl.
"That's nice." She smiled, before noticing that it was a familiar book, and went to the front door where the rest were.
She saw Ram doodling on one of them, while Nepgear, Uni and Ryu were reading the books while sitting in front of huge boxes of the books.
"Ram, stop doodling on those things!" Blanc screamed.
"You've got so many copies of the same book. Does it matter if we draw on a few, right?" Ram shrugged.
"IT DOES MATTER!".
"How?” Ram asked, as Blanc blushed.
"W-Well... that's the story I spent night after night working on!".
"So it's a doujinshi then?" Vert asked, as Blanc blushed even more.
"Uni what's it about?" Noire asked, as he sister looked up.
"It's pretty weird but kind of interesting, it's about people from another world getting teleported into Gamindustri and having to fight different people who’ve turned into monsters.”
"Woah! The protagonist just awoke to a new power" Nepgear said, with stars in her eyes “AH! He became a robot man! Ah, the art looks so cool!”
"Told ya you'd like it" Ryu grinned.
"STOP READING IT!" Blanc screamed, in embarrassment.
Lowee Night
Third person P.O.V.
We see the one of the maids from the Bascilicom sneaking through the city, with a small chest next to her.
As she went into an alley she saw Cygnus, in his Tom Dubias from looking at her "Did you get it?".
"Yes I did" she said, throwing away her disguise to reveal Arfoire "With this, we can destroy the goddesses and get the key with ease" she said, opening it to reveal a glowing x like stone.

Chapter Text
Abandoned Church
Third person P.O.V.
"This is crazy Ben! Why did you think we should come here" a boy said, as he and his friend walked into an old abandoned church.
"Oh come on fred, I got a good bet that if we stay here for one night not only will we get paid, but the girls said they'll go on a date with us" Ben said, as Fred sighed.
The church was very old, looking very different from the house outside with several pictures of different rich looking people.
Ben took out a flashlight and turned it on so they could see better, but when he did he thought he saw something run by "What that?".
"What was what?" Fred asked, sounding more scared as Ben gulped.
"I just thought I saw something".
They then began walking up the stairs, to find the bedroom in the place before noticing a cool breeze pass by them.
"WHAT WAS THAT!” Ben looked to the direction of the wind and noticed a slightly open door.
"Huh" He said, walking up to the door with Fred close behind.
When they walked inside, they saw what looked like the master bedroom and in front of them was an open window.
"Dude it's just the window" Fred pointed out, walking up to the window and closing it "There, now you don't have to be scared".
"F-F-Fred!" Ben stuttered, as the boy turned around confused.
"What is I- OH MY GOD!".
What they saw was a floating old man, who wore royal king-like clothes such as a long beard, glasses and a crown but the most notable thing was grey sling and see through body.
"GET… OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT!" The man roared, making the two scream before running out of the house as fast as they could.
The man floated back to the ground before a smile grew on his face.
"Hohoho, now that was fun" he smiled, before turning around "Alright, they're gone you can come out now" .
Suddenly from the wall several ghost type viruses and monster ghosts came out as the man smiled seeing his dear friend.
"Haha, today was truly fun. I hope the next batch of people will come soon".
"Ooh now you're certainly interesting " he heard, before looking over to see FM Ian which looked like a ball of energy with a red crown.
"Hmm now who are you?" The king asked, as the FM-Ian smiled " Oh you can call me crown, and I need your help with something ".
Planeptune high.
Third person P.O.V.
"Alright everyone, it's two weeks before your summer vacation starts," the teacher exclaimed, as Ryu and the rest of the class sat in their seats."So you have one last thing you have to do before you all can get out of here have some fun, your end of year projects!”
"Basically you will have to form into a group of four or five and will have to write a report of one thing of interest your group has chosen on the history of one of the many places of Planeptune.” He explained "So for now, group up and choose the topic you will be studying.”
Ryu sighed as he looked over through the window to see an older class practicing Gym but didn’t see Jack, who had been missing for a good while now..
'Where did he go…' he thought, before hearing some people walking towards him.
"Ryu!" Luna called, as Ryu looked over at the class president along with Bud and Zack.
"Oh hey Luna, did you want something?" Ryu asked, as she smiled.
"Well I wanted to know if you wanted to join us in the project" Luna declared, with a smirk.
"Oh uh sure, what will we be studying?" He asked, before Zack pulled out his tablets and showed it to Ryu.
"Well after a bit of searching on the internet, I found this place!" He grinned showing a picture of an old church in the deeper part of Planeptune "Apparently there are rumors that this was the original Basilicom ruled by some of the original Goddesses before the city got upgraded and there have been rumours lately of ghosts being seen there.”
"Ah ghost?" Ryu gulped, shaking a bit but the others didn't notice.
"That's right, and we'll be investigating the place tonight!" Bud grinned, with a smile while Luna looked up with stars in her eyes.
"Oh imagine if we got to be the ones to prove the discovery of spirits, we would be famous, get to go on the news and maybe even meet the goddesses" she grinned making everyone sweat drop.
"So you in?" Bud asked, as Ryu sighed.
"Alright I'll come, just send me the address and what time to go" he said, and the others nodded before they began to plan out their strategy for tonight.
A few hours later
Ryu P.O.V.
"Hmph, so we have to go to the Goddess' old home?” Omega-Xis sighed, floating next to me as Ryu looked at him with his visualisers on.
"Yeah, to be honest I am kind of curious. I mean it's not every day you get to go to such a historic place.” Ryu smiled, “Though I do wonder why it's abandoned.”
“Why not just ask?” Omega-xis shrugged, as they walked up towards the Basilicom only to run into IF.
"Oh hey Ryu, back from school?".
"Yeah, but I'm gonna have to leave later," Ryu admitted, rubbing his head.
“Huh? Why?” IF asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Well since it's almost summer, we have this project where a group has to study something of our choice, so me and my classmates are gonna study the original Basilicom.”
"Huh that old place? Well good luck with that" she nodded, as we walked inside toward the elevator.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well Nep called me and Compa to come over because of an idea she had” IF explained, crossing her arms “I had some work to do so Compa went on ahead.”
After a few minutes of waiting we eventually made it to the top room only to be met with… something unexpected.
"Nep-Nep! Stop" Compa cried, as we see Neptune trying to take off Compa's clothes and replace them with a Succubus outfit which did not have a lot of cloth.
"Cmon Compa! You'll look so cute!" She smiled, before noticing me and IF blushing brightly
"Oh hey guys!" Neptune waved, as I blushed before running off.
"Gah! I'm not looking" I yelled running to my room.
Switch to third person P.O.V.
"Nep, what are you doing?" IF questioned, with a sweatdrop.
"Well I thought we could tell some scary stories so I got a bunch of costumes we could wear! I got so excited I rushed in to get Compa to model for me.”
"Nep-Nep you're so mean" Compa cried, tears trailing down her face.
"Sorry Compa, I just really wanted to see you in the costumes".
"Nep, why do you suddenly wanna dress up in costumes?" IF asked, looking at the assortment of costumes on the clothes rack.
"Oh well I was looking around the internet and I found a rumour of Ghosts showing up in the old Bascilicom so I thought we could check it out and for fun we could dress up and tell stories" she explained, showing IF a picture of the house.
IF looked at the picture and then moved back "Huh, that must be the place Ryu was talking about".
"What do you mean Iffy?" Compa asked, getting her clothes back on to normal.
"Well he mentioned that he and his friends were gonna go to the place for a project they had to do" she said, as Neptune smiled.
"Ooh, that gives me an idea" Neptune smirked, making her two friends frown.
'I got a bad feeling about this'.
A couple of hours later
Ryu P.O.V.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" I screamed into my pillow remembering what happened when I came into the Bascilicom.
"God that was so embarrassing" I sighed, turning around and looking up at the roof.
"I don't see what the problem is, it was just an accident” Omega-xis scoffed from the Transer.
"Still, I need to apologise for that" I sighed, as Omega-Xis looked away.
"So this is that puberty thing I've heard about…”
I rolled my eyes before getting up and grabbing a bag that holds my 'costume' before walking towards the door. I soon opened up but was met with something unexpected.
"BOO!" "AH!"
"Hahahaha! I got you Ryu!" I heard, looking up to see Neptune dressed up as a zombie "That was priceless!".
"Neptune, why are you dressed up like that?" I asked, as Neptune smiled.
"Well you're haunted house thingie gave me an idea to have a costume party soon with some of my friends, so I thought it'd be fun to try out some costumes" she said, before twirling around "What do you think!".
"Well…" I mumbled, before taking a look at her clothes which looked like more ragged clothes with cuts and fake blood coming out, she also had her skin to be painted paler with red paint around her skin and had also dyed her hair green "I guess you look pretty good…”
"Hehehe, thanks Ryu" she said, with a smile before grabbing my arm "Oh yeah! You gotta check out Iffy and Compa"
I was surprised Ms IF and Ms Compa also dressed up, IF looked like a girl from a movie I watched with Neptune and Nepgear. I think it was called the hoop, she was wearing a dirty white dress as well as her hair being dyed black and no longer tied up by her green ribbon.
Ms Compa on the other hand looked to be dressed up as Yuki Onna, she was wearing light blue kimono and her sling was painted paler, and he hair was dyed white.
"Oh hey Ryu, are you leaving now?" IF asked, as I nodded "Um yeah, oh nice costumes" I said, with a smile.
"Thank you" Compa said, with a smile before we heard a ding coming from my Transer.
I opened up and it was a message from Luna telling me to hurry up "Oh, I should go now bye" I said, running to the elevator here going inside as it closed and moved downwards.
"Man, their costumes were pretty well made" I said, looking out the window "I wonder if they got Lady Noire to make them…".
"Come on, let's transform already and get to the place" Omega-Xis said, as I nodded.
"Alright, I'm going. EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" I yelled, lifting my Transer as Omega-Xis came out before engulfing my body, transforming us into Rockman.
We then proceeded to change our frequency before I jumped on to the wave road and flew off.
Back with Neptune, IF and Compa.
Third person P.O.V.
"Alright, he's gone" Neptune grinned, before transforming into her a Goddess form "Now let's go before they make it there".
"Neptune, do you really think it's a good idea to have set up traps and scares for Ryu and his friends?" IF asked, crossing her arms.
"Yeah Nep-Nep! That's just really mean" Compa frowned
"Oh come now, it's only a little fun besides now they'll have a lot more to write about" Purple Heart said, before picking IF and Compa up. “Besides, it’ll allow them to bond a bit more.”
"Now let's go before they find us" she said, before flying out the open window towards the haunted mansion as it started raining.
Haunted Mansion
Third person P.O.V.
"Cmon… where are they?" Luna frowned as she waited outside the haunted mansion with her coat on to cover herself from the rain.
"Oh if only I could be here with Rockman instead of the others, that would be a dream come true" she sighed, clasping her hands together “I’d hold his arm as he protects me from all the ghosts and monsters”
"Hey Luna" she heard from behind, making her blink.
"ROCKMAN!" she gasped, spinning around before giving the hero a hug "Oh Rockman, how did you know that I would be here? Have you honestly finally accepted my love!".
"Wait, Luna! it's me Ryu!" she heard, before moving back to see that it was just Ryu.
The two stared at each other for a few moments before they both blushed and jumped back.
"O-O-Of course I knew it was you, I-I-I was just j-joking" Luna stuttered, her face completely red.
"R-R-Right" Ryu nodded, his face also red as well.
There was an awakened silence between the two for a few minutes as they waited for Zack and Bud to show up.
"Gah! Where are those two!" Luna yelled, finally losing her patience. She then flipped up her Transer only to be met with two messages.
"Sorry Prez, my dad has got me working in the shop, so I can't make it the house good luck though' from Bud.
"Sorry Luna, I can't make it so my mom won't let me out with the bad weather going on" from Zack.
"So I guess we should just go another time?" Ryu asked, as Luna turned around.
"Of course not! We'll just need to go by ourselves" she said, opening the gate towards the mansion as Ryu blinked.
"W-What do you mean" Ryu asked, following her "Don't we need at least four of us to do this".
"As long as we say it was the four of us, it should be fine" she shrugged walking into the old mansion.
Ryu looked around the place which was unexpectedly big, about three floors tall with framed photo's, old books and dusty furniture.
"Huh, this is actually nicer than I thought it would be" Ryu muttered, looking over at Luna who was removing her coat.
“Well of course! This was the old home of one of the Goddesses” Luna proudly declared, walking on a head as Ryu followed behind “Now, let’s look around.”
We could hear the rain hitting off the house as I looked up "Man, I didn't think the rain would be this bad".
"Hmm" I heard Omega-Xis sigh as I looked at him "What's wrong".
"Well when we came here, I noticed that there was a strong amount of EM-waves" he muttered, surprising me.
"So what, is there a FM-Ian somewhere here?" I asked, a bit worried.
"I'm not sure, we'll just have to wait to see" He muttered, and I nodded.
"Hey Ryu! Hurry up" Luna said, and I nodded following her.
With Neptune and Co
"Ooh looks like it's just Ryu and Luna! This is gonna be great" Neptune grinnned, as they watched what was going on from one of the rooms in the house on a computer.
"It's weird how this place was never renovated, it's quite big" IF noted looking around, as Neptune leaned back.
"I think I heard from Histy that this place used to be an old Basilicom back when Planeptune was just starting, I think the goddess at the time was Uzu-something" Neptune shrugged.
“You really need to be more aware of your own countries history” IF frowned.
"N-N-Nep-Nep d-do w-we really need to stay h-here" Compa asked, as she hid behind some curtains, but she quickly wrapped them over herself when the sound of thunder crashed down.
"Oh come on Compa, a little rain never hurt anyone" Neptune laughed, as Compa shakily nodded.
"So what do you have set up" IF asked, as Neptune showed her the computers.
"Hehe, check it out I got a couple of traps and scares ready".
Compa gulped as she looked at her friends planning the pranks, before looking out the window.
Her eyes widened when she thought she saw what looked like a figure from the window.
"U-Um g-guys" Compa asked, turning around only to find Neptune and IF passed with what looked like ghosts of monsters hovering over their bodies.
"KYAAAAH!" She screamed, jumping only to bump into something.
Compa slowly turned and her eyes widened when she saw a skeleton monster with a red crown, black clothes, yellow limbs and a green cloak.
The monster raised it before sending a strange towards Compa, knocking her out before picking her and the others back up.
With Ryu and Luna
"KYYAAAAHHH!"
The two jumped when they heard Compa's scream, as Luna moved closer to Ryu "W-What was that!".
"It's probably just someone surprised from the thunder" Ryu gulped, as Luna nodded.
"Y-Yeah, you're probably right" she nodded, moving away from Ryu before walking towards one of the rooms.
Luna looked outside the window and saw the heavy rain making her sigh "Geez I have no where to go".
"What do you mean?" Ryu asked, as Luna looked down..
"Well Mama and Papa are having a party tonight, that's why I said we should go there tonight.” Luna explained “I thought I could just come back after it but, with this weather I doubt we could leave".
"Yeah, I guess that's a good point" Ryu said, looking up "Maybe we should stay the night here"
"W-W-What!" Luna yelled, her face going red again "Us two! Staying along in the same place! Stop being stupid".
"I-I know, but the rain isn't going to stop anytime soon, my sisters are going to a party so they can't pick me up and this place seems fine enough".
"I guess you've got a good point…. fine!" Luna sighed, as Ryu pointed to a nearby room.
"You can stay in that room over there, I'll find another room" he said, walking away.
"W-…" Luna said, reaching towards Ryu but couldn't find the words when suddenly.
BOOOOOOMMMM!
"Ah!" Luna jumped, gripping on to Ryu's back while shaking a bit .
"Uh, L-Luna".
"C-Can we j-just stay i-in the s-same room" she shakily asked, as Ryu looked to her his face turning red a bit before he nodded "Sure.
A few hours later
Third person P.O.V.
We see Ryu and Luna both sitting down on the bed back in their normal clothes, their faces red as they sit back away from each other, the only sound being the rain from outside.
"S-So I'm guessing your family's pretty rich right? Being able to hold parties and your own personal chofeur" Ryu said, trying to break the silence.
"Huh, yeah my parents own a manufacturing company, in fact they're the ones that manufactured the Transers" she said, as Ryu nodded.
"Huh, so I guess they worked with my parents then" he said, and Luna nodded.
"Yeah" she nodded, before turning to him "By the way, I have a question for you…”
"What?" Ryu asked, looking back at her.
"Well, when I told my parents about you they mentioned your parents and a son, but they never mentioned your sisters, why is that?" Luna asked, as Ryu smiled.
"They're… not actually my sisters" he confessed, surprising her..
"Really… I knew it!".
"Huh?" Ryu blinked, “How did you figure it out?”
"Well they don't really look anything like you, and when we first saw them they were clearly wearing wigs".
"Y-Yeah, you're right I just felt like it'd be pretty weird if I said, I was living with some strangers" Ryu admitted “Sorry for lying about it.”
"I can understand, especially since they're the goddesses.” Luna said, making Ryu jump back in surprise
"Y-You knew!" Ryu asked, shocked as Luna smiled while teasingly sticking her tongue out.
"I didn't until you told me~”
"H-How" Ryu asked, as she smiled.
"Well their clothes and personality are almost exactly like the goddesses, Purple Heart would show up every time I've seen them and my parents told me your parents were close with the oracle so it'd only make sense that she'd take you in".
"H-Huh" Ryu said, before looking down "Please don't tell anyone, I really don't want to be known as the person living with the goddesses".
"Oh I promise as long as you do one thing for me" she said, as I looked at her.
“I can't get you an autograph from Lady Noire, I probably could but it'd be very difficult".
Luna blinked a few times before smiling again "I only ask for one thing for me, we get VIP tickets to Aika Hibiki's next concert".
"Eh, is that it" Ryu blinked, as Luna nodded .
"Yup… and I at least want to meet the CPU candidate".
"But you already met Nepgear"? He said, as Luna shook her head.
"Yeah, but that time I didn't know she was the actual goddess! I wanna know what they actually act like, that's something very few people do ".
"Alright fair enough" Ryu sighed, before getting up "I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be back in a bit" he said, leaving the room.
Luna paid back down on the bed smiling excitedly for getting to meet the Cpu candidate and Aika hibiki but the she heard something.
"Huh? Ryu is that you" she said, getting back up before seeing the skeleton monster over her.
"Aaaaaahhh!" She screamed, before passing out because of the monster's powers.
With Ryu and Omega-xis
Ryu P.O.V.
"Geez I didn't expect this day would get so complicated" I sighed, as I washed my face in front of the mirror.
"It was your fault for lowering your guard around her, I thought you would've realised that females are quite crafty and manipulative when they want to be" Omega-xis said, as I looked at him.
"That's not nice Omega-xis" I frowned, as he closed his eyes and looked up.
"Trust me,if you spent as much time with Lyra as I have. You would know how manipulative they are” Omega-xis shrugged “And don’t get me started on Ophiucha."
"Ophiucha? Is she one of the FM-Ian’s we have left? How many are there anyway?” I asked, as he looked at me.
"We've got about four, Crown, Cancer, Libra and Ophiucha" Omega-Axis explained "You should watch out for Libra and Ophiucha unlike Taurus and Wolf they’re actual quite smart in battle, Crown on the other hand is a real show bout so you shouldn't have much problem with him".
"And what about this Cancer guy? Any advice for him" I asked.
"Heh, just throw a dog treat at him".
"Why?" I asked, with a raised eyebrow as Omega-xis smirked/
"I'll find it hilarious".
"Well whatever, let's jus-" "KYYYYAAAAAHHHH!".
"Huh! What was that" Ryu said, opening the door from the bathroom only to be surprised to see Neptune, IF and Compa unconscious while floating in the air.
"What the heck! What's going on!" Ryu asked, as Omega-xis scoffed.
"Come out Crown! I know you're here!"
"Ooh, sharp as always Omega-Xis but it's Crown Thunder now!" They heard, before looking up to see Crown thunder standing there with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, should've known you'd be here, this is definitely your kinda place" Omega-xis said, as Ryu looked up.
"Let me guess, you're here for the andromeda key right" Ryu asked, as the FM-Ian laughed.
"Actually no, I just wanted to play a game with you" he said, before summoning four coloured balls of light that entered into the girl's bodies before they teleported away.
"No!" Ryu yelled, running up towards the Alien.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" He yelled, as Omega-is engulfed him, transforming them into Rockman.
They dashed towards Crown Thunder but were stopped when Neptune came in and blocked the attack with her sword.
"Huh?!" Rockman gasped, before jumping back he looked up and saw Neptune, IF and Compa standing in front of him with their weapons.
"Lady Neptune, what are you doing?" Rockman asked, as Neptune smiled gleefully.
"Heehee! We were told you've been mean to Mr crown!" Neptune said, with a different voice.
"So he asked us to help beat you up" Compa said, with a much more masculine voice.
"This is going to be fun" IF said, with a much more excited voice
"NYA! HAHAHAHA! LET'S SEE YOU TRY TO FIGHT YOUR FRIENDS ROCKMAN!" Crown thunder laughed, while watching the show.
Neptune and IF rushed in while slashing at Rockman who barely blocked with his saber.
'Damn, did he possess them with some kinda ghost' Rockman thought, as he jumped back before using the barrier battle card to protect himself from the attacks.
"What do we do Omega-xis! I can't hurt Neptune and the others" Rockman asked, as Omega-Xs growled.
"Didn't Gear give you some new battle cards? Maybe some of them will work" he said, as Rockman nodded right when the barrier broke.
"Mwa Hahaha! Let's see you try and get out of this Rockman!" Crown Thunder laughed, as Rockman dodged the two attacks before jumping into the air.
"A BATTLE OF FRIENDS AGAINST FRIEND!" He laughed, as Rockman dodged some shots which came from Compa's needle. "ALL TO THE BATTLE TO THE DEA-" "BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! SLEEP FIELD!" "Huh?"
Rockman fired a blast towards Neptune, Compa and IF which caused a strange field to appear around them causing them to fall asleep.
"…Well played…".
"Now tell those spirits to get out of their bodies" Rockman yelled, as Crown Thunder waved his hand
"Fine fine" he said, as the three spirits left the girls bodies "But don't think they're the only ones I found in here".
Rockman was confused for a moment before hearing a familiar voice "ROCKMAN!".
"Luna!" He yelled, looking up to see his classmate shakily floating in the air.
"Let's see how you'll react to this!" Crown thunder yelled, before dropping Luna who screamed loudly.
"OH NO!" He yell, jumping off the banister and dashed quickly to catch Luna before she could hit the ground before he jumped back to the others.
"T-Thank you! Rockman!" She yelled, hugging him tingly making him sweat drop "I know we were destined for each other, after all you knew when I was in trouble".
"Uh sure" he said, before putting her down "Listen, Ms Platz right? I need you to get those three out of here while I try and stop this guy".
"Yes sir! Rockman!" She saluted, before realising something "Oh but my friend is still here somewhere" she said, making Ryu gulp.
"It's alright, I'll get your friend out of here" he said, as Luna nodded before quickly picking up Neptune and the others with a surprising amount of strength before running out of the mansion.
Rockman then looked up and saw Crown Thunder smirking "Hehe, looks like it's time to face me Rockman".
"Yeah, let's do this!" Rockman said, before taking out a battle card and throwing into the air.
"BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! BREAK SABER!" He yelled, having Omega-Xis eat the card before he transformed into an energy drill sword.
He then dashed towards Crown Thunder as he pulled out a sword before the two clashed.
Rockman then jumped back as Crown Thunder sent several light bolts at Rockman.
"Gah!" He yelled, being knocked back by the bolts before firing a charged shot at Crown thunder before rushing in and slashing him.
"Grr! Take this!" Crown Thunder yelled, sending several viruses that held a bowgun, Lance and a hammer weapon.
One virus shot its arrows at Rockman who barely dodged before rolling out of the way from the virus with the lance.
But then another virus came in and swung it's hammer at Rockman knocking him into another room.
"Ow that hurt," Rockman said, shaking his head.
"You okay Ryu?" Omega-Xis asked, as Ryu looked down at him.
"Yeah, nothing broke- Huh?" He said, bumping into the shelf making a video game console fall on him.
"Is this a console?" He wondered, looking at it. It was white and black with an orange swirl symbol on it.
He then noticed a picture next to it of a little boy standing next to a girl who were both doing peace signs while holding the console.
The girl had red hair typed up in twin tails and was wearing a white shirt with a grey skirt with an orange tie.
'Huh, I think I saw this girl somewhere in the Basilicon' Rockman thought, before Crown Thunder came in.
"Now! Let's finish this Omega-Xis!" Crown Thunder said, raising his sword but then he noticed the console.
"Gah!" Crown Thunder said, starting to shake as his body started to shake.
"What the? What's happening" Rockman asked, as Omega-Xis smirked "Now's our chance! The host is fighting off his control".
"Right!" He yelled, before throwing three cards into the air "BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! CANNON! CANNON! CANNON! PROGRAM ADVANCE TRI CANNON!".
With the Tri Cannon formed, Rockman lifted the large cannon up before aiming at Crown Thunder "Take this!" He yelled, firing at the EM being.
"DMAN YOU ROCKMAN!" He yelled, as he turned into energy before flying off.
"Hah, hah I did it" Rockman sighed, before returning to normal and looking up at the whole they made "Oh… that's not good".
"Thank you"
"Huh" Ryu said, looking over to see no one "What was that… Wait, where's the host/”
"Not sure, normally FM-Ian's need to combine to get power like that" Omega-Xis said, as Ryu gulped.
"Y-You don't it could have been…" Ryu stammered, making Omega-Xis gulp "A-Absolutely not… but just in case we should leave right now!"
"On it!" Ryu said, quickly running out of the building and as he did, the old man spirit looked down at him.
"Hoho, that crown person was wrong, he really is a hero " he smiled, before looking down at the console.
"I think you would've liked him… Uzume".
Chapter 11: The Rocking Crab
Chapter Text
Planeptune Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"I'm back" Ryu said, as the elevator door to the Basilicom opened and he walked inside, noticing Neptune and Nepgear playing games on the TV as he did.
"Oh welcome back Ryu, how was school?" Nepgear asked, as I sat down on the couch.
"It was fine and now I'm finally off for summer break," Ryu said, stretching a bit.
"Sweet now all three of us can play games all day!" Neptune smiled, while sitting on the bean bag chair “I’ve been waiting for all of us to do all kinds of stuff together!”
"Won't you have to do work?" I asked, as she looked back at the tv.
"Yup, just the three of us playing games all day! Going camping! Watching movies! Visiting the CPU’s! Going to the Hot Springs! It’ll be great" She said, with a smile making me and Nepgear sweat drop.
"Oh yeah, hey Ryu wanna join in now that you're here" Neptune grinned handing me a controller.
It was a fighting game called Spirit Slash 7, the new sequel to one of the really old fighting games.
"Yeah, sure I guess" I muttered, about to take the controller but then we felt a dark aura behind us.
" Neptune, Nepgear?" Histoire asked, as Neptune jumped.
"O-Oh hey H-H-Histy, w-what's up?" Neptune gulped, as she smiled in an evil way.
" Did the two of you do all of your quests and papers today?" She asked, as Neptune gulped.
"Uh, weeellll" Neptune glancing over at Nepgear who was shaking in fear of Histore’s gaze.
" Neptune?".
"Uhh…we didn't, we've been playing games all day?"
Histoire took a deep breath before turning to us "Ryu, could you please return to your room for a moment.”
"O-Okay, sure" I nodded before getting up and running to the elevator.
"Wait Ryu, don't forget about me!" DON'T LEAVE US!" Nepgear and Neptune cried as Histoire grabbed the back of their clothes and began dragging them away.
"Heeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllpppppppppppp uuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssss.”
"Geez, that was terrifying" I sighed, as Omega-xis came out of the Transer.
"I gotta say that Oracle is tiny but she can be terrifying" Omega-xis smirked, crossing his arms.
"Yeah, but I guess it makes sense. I mean working with Neptune has to be pretty tiring" I smiled, scratching my cheek.
"Heh, I feel kinda bad for her," a voice next to me said, as I jumped back.
"What the?!" I yelped, looking up to see Aika in her Lyra Note form.
"Hehe, heya Ryu! Sorry about scaring ya" she grinned offering me a hand as I took it.
"Thanks, but what are you doing here Aika?" I asked, as she smiled, returning to normal.
"Well I finally got a day off, so I thought we could hang out" she explained “I mean its been awhile since the last time we saw each other right?”
"Oh sure, I'm on summer break now so I'm free" I nodded, before Lyra note and Omega-xis flew out.
"Heh, it's been a while Omega-xis" Lyra smirked, leaning next to him “How’s things been for you? I’ve been having such a good time ever since I partnered up with Aika.”
“Tch, it's not good for me” Omega-xis scoffed, rolling his eyes “Do I really have to come along with you all.”
"Hehehe, oh come on Omega-xis this’ll be fun!” Aika grinned, “We can race there if you want.”
“And why would I want that?” Omega-xis asked.
“Yeah Omega-xis~ Or are you saying you want to lose a race” Lyra asked, making Omega-xis frown.
"Fine, whatever, something to get any excitement" he said, and with a bright flash we both transformed into Rockman and Lyra Note.
“Huh, guess it was that easy.” I then phased through the elevator and followed Aika to wherever she was taking me.
Leanbox
Concert Hall
Third person P.O.V.
"Hmm, let's see this one? No, this one? No Ugh" A voice groaned, as he looked through several people in Leanbox.
"Ugh! why is it so hard to find someone with the same kind of frequency as me Buku!" The voice screamed.
The scene moved back to reveal an FM-Ian standing in the wave road. He looked like an energy crab with metallic claws and body and yellow eyes.
"I am Cancer! The king's right hand man Buku! Only the strongest of humans deserve merging with me Buku!" he yelled, before noticing a voice.
"Come on, let me in!" A young boy yelled, as he tried to get into a concert hall but the guard wouldn't let him.
"If you don't have any tickets then you're not getting in, now buzz off brat" He yelled, as he picked up the boy and walked to the gate.
"But it's 5pb! Just let me in please!" The boy yelled, struggling to break free.
They didn't notice that a girl with blue hair was looking at this from the window with a frown.
The boy had brown hair with a red hat, he wore a yellow shirt with a red vest and a blue denim shirt.
The guard on the other hand wore a blue shirt with black trousers, he also had black hair and was very muscular.
"There it is! That guard must be the one with the same Frequency as me! He will be the one I shall merge with!" Cancer yelled, turning into energy before dashing towards the two.
There was a bright blue flash that engulfed the two humans as Cancer merged with his chosen human.
"Finally, after so long buku!" He said, looking at his claws "I will be the one to capture that traitor Omega-xis BUKU!".
"I AM CANCER BUBBLE BUKU! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "What are you yammering about now, brat?"
"Buku?" Cancer Bubble said, looking up to see the guard holding him up.
Cancer Bubble blinked before looking down at his body.
He had a small body which was in a yellow suit with a familiar blue stripe on his chest and an orange vest with large meaty claws that had blue highlights. His face was dark orange with large, bright blue eyes, and his helmet resembled a crab, with side hair that looked like crab legs and yellow stalks on the head. The Cancer symbol rested on his forehead.
He blinked dumbly as he looked at the guard, who didn't look very fazed with what had happened.
"Don't let me catch you sneaking around here again," the guard said, as he put him down and walked off.
Cancer Bubble stared at the security guard and went away. Then he looked down at his small body. Then he looked at his claws.
His face was at the moment just two beady eyes and a twitching line, not really sure what to do. At least he knew what to say.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
Leanbox street
Third person P.O.V.
We see Rockman and Lyra Note landing on the roads of wave world, as Rockman looked around.
"So why'd you take us all the way to Leanbox?" Rockman asked, looking down at the city below as Lyra Note smiled.
"Well my Producer told me that I had a concert booked with the number 1 singer of Leanbox, 5pb".
"Woah, really! That's so cool" Rockman smiled, as Lyra Note excitedly nodded.
"I know right! So I wanted to check out Leanbox to get familiar with the place" she grinned.
The two then turned into energy before flying into the alleyway, while returning to normal before they walked out.
Leanbox looked very futuristic with a lot of large white and green buildings, but there was also a mediaeval theme to it with several buildings looking like castles.
"Huh, so this is the Green one's country" Omega-xis muttered, as Ryu and Aika walked through the city.
"Green one?" Lyra asked, from Aika's guitar.
"He's talking about the goddess of this country, Lady Green Heart" Aika explained to her partner before looking over at Ryu "By the way, have you met any of the other goddesses".
Ryu nodded at her question "Yeah, I've met all of them"
"You have!?” Aika gasped, with widened eyes "Are you serious? What were they like?"
"Well it was a bit intimidating at first but I've become friends with a few like Lady Uni and Lady Blanc, but I don't think Lady Rom and Lady Ram like me very much" he admitted, scratching his head.
"Are you kidding? They freakin hated you" Omega-xis snickered, bluntly.
"Man you’re, that's so cool I wish I could meet the goddesses" she frowned, before looking up and noticed the shopping mall.
"Hey, we're near the mall, wanna check it out?" She asked, and Ryu nodded before they made their way to the building.
Meanwhile with Cancer Bubble.
We see that Cancer Bubble was walking along the sidewalk, bewildered, bug-eyed and in disbelief.
His current situation was very unexpected, he wasn't planning on possessing some brat for his assignment and not to mention that his feet were making cute squeaking noises as he walked.
“This…this can’t be real…” We then see him fall down onto his knees as he begins bawling.
"No! It was supposed to be the big strong guy that had the same frequency as me! Not a little kid! How can this brat be more compatible with me buku?!" he cried loudly, throwing a tantrum on the sidewalk.
What he didn't notice was that his fit was making everyone walking by stare at him.
"Wait!" Cancer Bubble gasped, quickly composing himself, "I can't sit here crying! I'm Cancer Bubble, King Cepheus's right hand man, I still have a mission 'buku! I must dominate the entire Earth and destroy that traitor Omega-Xis!
"Alright! That's what I'll do!" Cancer Bubble decided, standing up from his knees.
"The first step is to... what the?" Cancer Bubble blinked, realizing that several children and a few adults were looking at him funny.
"Hey! What the hell is your deal BUKU!?" Cancer Bubble snapped, scaring all the bystanders "I'm not some sideshow freak for you people to stare at Buku!"
"Kids these days. No respect, Buku" he grumbled to himself, continuing to walk.
As he walked he noticed a group of people all grouping up to look at a tv scree
"Wow! 5pb. is so cool!" "She's beautiful" "I wish I can go to her new concert
"What are they doing Buku?" He wondered, walking up to the screen and his eyes widened when he saw an idol singing on the screen who was 5pb.
5pb. was a young girl with white skin, long blue hair, and magenta eyes. On her head she wears a pair of Speaker-embedded headphones made on Planeptune that receives sound from a guitar wirelessly.
On the left side of her stomach she has a treble-clef tattoo with a pink heart attached to it. Her outfit is a handmade stage costume with a black base and pink accents. Around her neck was a choker with a pink heart pendant attached, and the black and pink belt around her waist has a pink checkered box on the back, lined with black.
Cancer Bubble felt a strange feeling in his chest as he looked at the girl singing "She's so beautiful Buku…"
"Hey, who is that Buku?" he asked, one of the people in the group who wore a hoodie and sunglasses hiding her appearance
"You don't know? That's 5pb. Leanbox's number 1 Idol" the person said. "She's having a smaller concert over there and I heard she's doing an even bigger one in a few weeks".
"Where's the concert?" he asked excitedly as the person pointed to the place he came from.
"Thank you!" He cheered, before spinning around and rushing towards the concert hall.
"What a strange child…" the person sweatdropped, watching him run off as she moved a strand of blonde hair back into her hoodie.
"Oh right, I need to go and get four goddesses online 2.5" she realised, before walking off.
Leanbox mall
Third person P.O.V.
"Hey Ryu check this out" Aika grinned while holding up a game she had found in one of the many aisles.
"Ooh, I heard that one was pretty good," Ryu smiled, examining what she had picked up.
They were currently in the game store of Leanbox, checking out what games they could get at a good price.
"Man, I really haven't played a lot of Leanbox games" Ryu muttered, as the two walked around the Video game store.
"I know right, I wanna try this fighter frog game" Aika nodded, as they walked up to the till only to see someone standing there.
"What do you mean you don't have any more copies!" The woman who talked to Cancer Bubble said, as she talked to the store clerk.
"I'm sorry ma'am but the game was sold out this morning" The store clerk apologised, as the woman growled.
"But the game just came out today!" She sighed, before looking down "Guess I'll just have to download it…hmm, perhaps a service that could let you get free games for a limited time, like a streaming service…”
Ryu blinked as they watched the woman, something feeling familiar about her.
'That voice… Vert?' he thought, as the woman walked away and while Aika went to buy her game, Ryu walked up to the woman.
"Um excuse me?" he asked, as the woman turned around.
"Hm? Oh Ryu?!" The woman said, surprised as she took off her sunglasses to reveal Vert "What are you doing all the way out her in Leanbox? Ah! Have you and Nepgear finally come to your senses and left Planeptune to become my younger siblings!"
"Uh n-no…?" Ryu gulped, awkwardly making Vert drop down.
"Aw too bad, but then where is Nepgear or Neptune in that matter?" Vert questioned, looking around.
"Oh well Histoire asked them to do some work but well, you know Neptune" Ryu explained.
"Ah, I see" she smiled, before turning her head "But then why are you here in Leanbox?".
"Well-" "Hey Ryu, wait up!".
The two looked toward the voice to see Aika running up to them "Geez, why did ya have to run off like that".
"Ah! Sorry about that, I just an into someone I knew” Ryu apologised,
She then looked up and noticed Vert "Huh? Hey Ryu, who's this?”
"Oh right, Uh Aika this is Vert" he introduced making the goddess smile.
"It is very nice to meet a friend of Ryu's," she nodded, with a bright smiled
"Ah yeah nice to me- wait Vert… AS IN THE GODDESS?!" Aika gawked, jumping back in shock.
Concert Hall
Third person P.O.V.
Meanwhile we see Cancer Bubble running at top speed towards the concert hall, excitement bursting from his face.
He tried to run inside but was stopped by the guard who picked him up "How many times of 8 have to tell you brat, you're not aloud inside".
"But why not! I wanna see 5pb." He yelled, shaking around as the man sighed while rubbing his temples.
"Then why don't you try and get some tickets then" he said, before tossing him to the ground "Not like you'll find anyway"
"I just need to find some tickets?" He mumbled to himself before he jumped back up "Fine! I'll get these tickets you'll see"
Park
Third person P.O.V.
"Ah what nice tea" Vert smiled, as she sipped some of the famous Leanbox tea "Leanbox truly has the best tea".
"R-Right" Aika gulped, as she and Ryu sat on a table outside of a café in the park.
"So may I ask why you two were out all the way here in Leanbox?" Vert asked, looking at the two making Aika perk up.
"O-Oh, well you see I work as an idol and I'm going to be doing a concert here with 5pb.".
"Oh right, I did hear about that," Vert realised,”To think someone so young was an Idol.”
"That's right, so I wanted to check it out since I've never been here before, and I thought it'd be fun to bring Ryu with me" Aika smiled, while Vert got a sly look on her face.
"Oh Ho" Vert smiled, before looking over at Ryu "Seems like someone has a little crush on you Ryu"
"W-W-What! V-Vert what are you t-talking about w-were just f-friends" Ryu stammered, as his face turned bright red.
"Y-Yeah! W-We j-just haven't seen e-each o-other s-since we were k-kids" Aika nodded, making the goddess giggle
"Hehe, I was just kidding," Vert smiled. "By the way Ryu, do you mind getting something sweet from the bakery over there?" She asked, pointing outside the park.
"Sure, I don't mind" he said, standing up before walking off.
Aika still had red in her cheeks as she took a sip of her cup while Vert smile "So I was wondering how far you two have gone in your relationship".
"PSSSSHHHH!" Aika spat out her drink, much to Vert's amusement.
"W-What? What do you mean"!”
"Trust me, I can tell that you clearly have feelings for him" she smirked, watching Aika blush even hader "So how far have you gotten?".
"W-Well… I guess… we were on a date a few weeks ago" she muttered, poking her fingers together.
"And~?”
"A-And…and I may have… k-kissed him" Aika stuttered, before cupping her face in embarrassment.
"Very impressive, but I think you could go further~" Vertgrinned, before pulling out two tickets.
"Huh, what's that?" Aika questioned, looking at tickets
"These are some tickets for 5pb.'s concert tonight, and I wanted to give these to you to further"
"Oh… thanks?" Aika modded taking the tickets with a smile.
"AAAAAHHH!" They heard, before standing up to see people trapped in bubbles
"What's going on?" Aika asked, standing up.
"I'm not sure, stay here I'll go check" Vert said, summoning her weapon before heading to the source of the bubbles
"Should we transform Lyra?" Aika asked, but Lyra shook her head.
"Nah don't, I'm guessing from the bubble that it's just Cancer" Lyra shrugged, as Aika blinked.
"Why not? If it's an FM-Ian then we should go help?" Aika asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't worry, Cancer is no problem" Lyra snickered, as Aika nodded.
Park
Third person P.O.V.
We see that Cancer Bubble was still shooting more of his bubbles at anything he saw moving.
His targets quickly got sucked into the bubbles on contact, rendering them trapped inside for all intents.
"Hahaha! All of you can get trapped inside my bubbles for all I care, now show me how to get these tickets!" Cancer Bubble laughed.
"Hey you!" Another voice shouted making Cancer Bubble blink as he looked behind at Rockman landing on the ground with his Buster aimed at Cancer Bubble and a box of cakes in his hand.
"Omega-Xis!" Cancer Bubble growled, gritting his teeth.
"Hello, Cancer," Omega-Xis greeted. "It's been awhile."
"Woah, you were right, it is an FM-Ian, I thought it was some kid in a costume" Rockman blinked, looking at the people trapped in bubbles.
"If I had known it was Cancer then I wouldn't have bothered," Omega-Xis sighed, shaking his head.
"Omega-Xis, you traitor!" Cancer Bubble snapped. "I've finally found you! And now I've merged with a human to destroy you, so now you can call me Cancer Bubble 'buku!"
"I'll call you useless!" Omega-Xis shot back. "Just give up and go back home before we have to hurt you."
"Oh useless am I? We'll see about that!" Cancer Bubble snarled "This is revenge for all of the times you used to embarrass me back home"
Flashback
We see Cancer in his original form walking through the castle of planet FM when he passed by Omega-xis "Hey Omega-xis how's it going" he said.
"Aw look, if it isn't Cancer" Omega-xis said, with a smirk "You wanna biscuit boy? Wanna Biscuit?".
"D-Do you think I'm a do-".
"Here's a biscuit" he said, throwing a dog treat at Cancer's head much to his annoyance.
Flashback end
"T-That's a bit mean, don't you think Omega-xis?" Rockman said, as Omega-xis rolled his eyes.
"I was young and stupid back then, besides the guy deserved it he was the king's loyal dog and acted all cocky, even if he was useless at everything else" Omega-xis explained, as Cancer bubble growled.
"Tell me how useless I am after I tear you limb from limb! HAAAARRRAAAHH!"
Cancer charged right at Rockman, swinging his claws. But in what looked like it came out of slapstick cartoons, Rockman stopped him by holding him back with a single hand.
Cancer Bubble didn't even realize that he was being held back as he continued to swing his arms wildly.
"Take that! And that! And that! And some of this!"
"Wow, you really are useless," Rockman sweatdropped.
"It's almost sad" Omega-xis said, as the FM-ian blinked, his eyes opened and scowled up at his enemy.
"Grrr! Don't treat me like a kid 'buku!" Cancer Bubble shouted, jumping backwards some distance away.
His eyes glowed in anger like fire, "Let's see you try this! Boomerang Cutter!" He swung his arms hard and wildly, shooting out his pincers which spun like sharp frisbees as they flew towards Rockman
"Oh boy! Here it comes!" Rockman grimaced, moving into a defencive stance.
But the Boomerang Cutter didn't even touch him.
They just flew over Rockman and flew right back towards Cancer Bubble and hit him in the head.
"Ow! Not far enough to reach him," Cancer Bubble cried, rubbing his head
"This body isn't compatible enough to improve my accuracy. Alright then, try this on for size!" Cancer Bubble shouted, stretching his pincers out, "Bubble P-!"
Rockman just fired directly at Cancer Bubble. Sending him flying into the air in slow motion, like a character losing in a fighting game, before he landed on the ground.
"Well, that's that I guess," Omega-Xis said, as Rockman scratched his cheek.
"I kinda feel bad for doing that….”
"Oh... shut up..." Cancer Bubble grumbled, slowly pulling himself to his knees.
"Stop treating me like a kid 'buku! I can do whatever I want 'buku!" He whined silently as tears dropped out of his eyes.
"What? And now he's crying?" Rockman muttered, watching with total pity.
"I am not 'buku!" Cancer Bubble spat. "I'm not crying 'buku! I'm just sweating through my eyeballs 'buku!"
"Omega-Xis, was he always like this?" Rockman asked.
"Actually he seems even more childish than I remember," Omega-Xis replied, looking on with just as much pity.
"No way 'buku! Don't call me childish 'buku!" Cancer Bubble exclaimed as he jumped back to his feet. He raised his arms over his head as a cyclone of water surrounded him.
"Tidal Wave!" He pointed his arms out and a huge wave of water gushed out from under the ground and rushed forward.
Caught off guard from the actual attack, Mega Man let out a scream as he was swept up by the wave.
"Hahahahahahaha how do you like tha- Huh?" He cackled before noticing a ticket for 5pb. show that someone dropped in the ground.
"Oh my Buku!" He yelled, running up to the ticket before picking it up.
"I can go! I can go!" He said, gleefully before running off to the concert hall.
"Ugh" Rockman said, shaking his head "What was that all about".
"Not sure, but if it's Cancer it's probably something stupid" Omega-xis said, as Rockman got back up.
"Should we got after him?" He asked, as Omega-xis shook his head.
"Nah, he's harmless" he said, before looking up at Rockman "We should change back before the satellite police come".
"But what about these people?" Rockman asked, looking at the people trapped in bubbles.
"Don't worry, someone just needs to poke them and they break free, besides…" he said, looking back and noticed Vert on her way "Looks like your friend is coming here, and there might be a misunderstanding".
"Right" Rockman nodded, disappearing right as Vert ran up.
"What in the?" She said, walking up and poking another bubble, freeing one of the many people trapped.
"Are you okay?" Vert asked, helping the citizen up as the person nodded.
"T-Thank you Lady Vert" the citizen thanked, as Vert looked around.
"What happened here?".
"Some weird small monster came and started trapping everyone in bubbles but then the Rockman from Planeptune appeared and saved us".
"Rockman?" Vert blinked, surprised that the hero would show up in her nation.
"Go and try to help people out of the bubble, it's not hard to pop at all" Vert ordered and the citizen nodded before running to help the others.
"Vert!" The CPU heard, before turning around to see Ryu and Aika running up to her.
"Ah, Ryu and Aika, sorry about that it was a false alarm" she smiled, looking at the two teens.
"So what happened?" Aika asked, looking at the citizens helping the people trapped in bubbles.
"Seems like a monster showed up and started trapping the citizens in bubbles but Rockman had arrived and chased it away" Vert explained.
"So do you want us to help with this?" Ryu asked, but Vert shook her head.
"No, no this is fine, besides you two have an appointment" she said, confusing Ryu.
"An appointment? What are you talking about" Ryu asked, as Aika just elbowed.
"I'll explain on the way, just follow me" Aika said, grabbing Ryu's arm and starting dragging him away.
Vert smiled at their interaction "Ah to be young, this almost feels like a romance anime".
Concert Hall
Third person P.O.V.
"Hey! Mr Guard guy!" Cancer Bubble yelled, running towards the guard as he rolled his eyes.
"I told you before, you're not getting in unless you have a ticket" he scoffed, standing up as Cancer Bubble smiled.
"I do have a ticket! Look! Look!" He said, showing the guard the ticket he found.
"Oh guess you're right, well go right in!" He said, as Cancer Bubble smiled.
"Ah! It's always good to cool off while listening to 5pb-" "Hold up, if you wanna go in then you got to get rid of that tacky costume" the Guard said, tugging on Cancer's head.
"Hey! Hey! I-I-It's not a costume!" Cancer Bubble yelled, struggling to break free.
"What the heck? It's really stuck there!" the guard grunted, continuing to tug at Cancer Bubble who growled.
"WILL YOU GET OFF OF ME!" Cancer Bubble screamed, shooting several bubbles trapping him and several people in the bubbles.
"Finally!" Cancer Bubble growled, running inside not noticing Ryu and Aika close behind.
"Geez, I didn't think Cancer would be here" Lyra said from Aika’s Guitar, as Aika and Ryu looked up to see people in bubbles drifting higher and higher.
"You go on ahead, I'll help these people" Ryu said, and Aika nodded as they both hid from view.
EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!
EM WAVE CHANGE! AIKA HIBIKI! ON AIR!
Rockman jumped towards the people trapped in bubbles while Lyra Note dashed towards the Concert hall.
Inside the concert hall.
Meanwhile, in the back stage of the concert we see 5pb. With her Guitar in her hand practicing.
"Okay, I think I got this" 5pb. gulped, shaking the anticipation filling her up.
"A-Alright, l-let's do this" she said, standing up but then she started hearing screams coming from the audience screaming.
"Huh?" She blinked, quickly running to the stage.
"BRING OUT 5PB. ALREADY!" Cancer Bubble screamed, trapping several people in the audience in the bubbles as he ran up to the stage and climbed up."SING! SING!"
“W-WAh!” 5pb. gulped, falling down at the FM-ian’s demands and crawled back "Umm…".
"COME ON SING ALREADY!" Cancer Bubble yelled, about to throw his claws when Lyra Note jumped in and knocked the claws away.
"Are you okay?" Lyra Note asked, helping 5pb. up as she nodded
"Y-Yeah, thanks" she nodded, taking Lyra Note’s hand “Who are you?”
“Hehe, I’m the Guardian of Love and Peace! Lyra Note!”
"LYRA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Cancer Bubble yelled, as Lyra Note turned around.
"Don't you see that you're destroying everything you idiot!" Lyra yelled, as Cancer growled.
"Stop calling me an idiot!" Cancer Bubbled yelled, throwing his claws disks towards the two as they barely moved out of the way.
" Shock Note!" Lyra Note yelled, sending the energy note towards Cancer Bubble who just knocked it out of the way.
"Grr, will you stop messing with me!" He yelled, before going on a tantrum like a little kid.
"Uhh, is he normally like this?" Lyra Note asked, with a sweatdrop.
"Actually he seems more childish then usual" Lyra sighed, before they felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Um, excuse me?" 5pb asked, as Lyra Note turned around.
"Huh? Yeah" Lyra Note blinked, as 5pb gulped.
"I think I have an idea to stop him" she said, as Lyra Note blinked.
"Why won't they just start the show already?" Cancer Bubble cried, before the room darkened "Huh?".
He looked over to the two girls, as they started playing their guitars with the rest of the audience still there looking over.
(Play Feel Inside from Megaman starforce anime)
"It's starting," Cancer Bubble said, with stars in his eyes before turning his head "But I just want 5pb, not Lyra!”
" Fields of the unknown are splitting up this world" The two said, as they started singing as a duet.
Cancer Bubble looked away, trying not to listen to the music.
" And even though I know, that I can't see it all"
Cancer Bubble then slowly opened his eyes and noticed he was tapping to the music
" I feel inside there's something more I pray to find the hope I had before!"
The audience then started cheering to the music
" Sometimes I wonder why... you cry!"
5pb then looked at Lyra Note, and she nodded as she took out a mic.
" Sometimes I dream that someday you'll be mine!"
Much to his surprise, they tossed Cancer Bubble a mic as if asking him to sing along which he agreed to.
" Even in this moment I wanna hold your hands!" The three snag together, as the audience got more and more excited
" And drift away from the clouds of everyday!" Cancer Bubble smiled, completely distracted as Lyra Note spun around.
" Spark Note!" Lyra Note declared, sending the electric note at Cancer Bubble.
"Not when I was getting into the song!" Cancer Bubble yelled, as he separated from the kid and flew off.
"I remember him" 5pb gasped, running over to the young boy.
"You know him?" Lyra Note blinked, as 5pb. nodded.
"Yeah, I saw him trying to get in earlier" 5pb explained, bringing the child down to the seats.
“I guess that's why Cancer wanted you to sing so much".
5pb smiled as she picked up the child before standing up and looking at the audience members that were still inside.
"Alright everyone! Let's continue this outside!" She smiled, as everyone began walking outside.
"Lyra Note!" Lyra Note heard, looking over to see Rockman running up to her.
"Ah Rockman, did you help the people trapped in the bubble?" She asked, as Rockman nodded.
"Yeah, how are things done around here?" Omega-xis asked, “I’m guessing you kicked Cancer’s ass.”
"You know it, one shot and he was down" Lyra smirked, pridefully.
“Oh my goodness!” They heard, looking over at 5pb grinning at the two “Rockman!”
“H-Huh?!” Rockman blinked, before 5pb ran up and held his hand.
“I’m such a big fan of yours! I can’t believe I finally got to meet you like this” 5pb smiled, making Rockman blush.
“O-Oh thanks…hmm?” He blinked, noticing the death glare Lyra Note was giving him “Umm..”
"Ugh, what happened?" The kid asked, looking around making 5pb blink before letting go of Rockman and walking up to him.
"5pb?!" The kid gasped, surprised as the idol smiled.
"Come on, the show is starting" she said, as the boy nodded following her.

We see 5pb playing in her concert as everyone in the audience enjoyed the music as Ryu and Aika watched from the front row.
A few minutes later we see the people leaving after the concert had ended.
"Ah that was so fun" Aika smiled, as they walked "I'm so glad that Vert gave me those tickets".
"Yeah, by the way, why did she give you those tickets?" Ryu asked, as Aika blushed.
"Uh, I guess she just wanted us to enjoy our time in Leanbox…" She mumbled, scratching her cheek as Ryu nodded.
"Anyway, we should head back. My producer's probably gonna chew me out when I get back" she sighed.
"Oh alright" Ryu said, before smiling "Thanks for bringing me here, this was pretty fun".
"R-Right, well see ya oh right" she said, before turning around and handing Ryu two tickets.
"What are these?" Ryu blinked, as she smiled.
"Their tickets for my show that 5pb and I are doing… I thought you might've wanted to bring one of your friends or Nepgear" she said, as Ryu took the tickets.
"Oh thanks" Ryu smiled, taking them “I’ll be sure to go there!”
"Well I gotta go back to my hotel room here, so see ya" she said, running off as Ryu smiled.
"Can we go now?" Omega-xis grumbled, as Ryu smiled.
"Yeah, sure" Ryu nodded, as the two transformed into Rockman before they flew back to Planeptune after such a fun day.
Chapter 12: The Tipping scales of Judgement
Chapter Text
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
Above the city of Planeptune in the wave world, we see two streams of light on the wave roads dashing through the city which was at dusk.
One of the lights was blue, while the other one was brown.
The blue fired several blasts at the brown light who moved out of the way before it dashed towards the blue light.
The blue light jumped on to the wave before dashing towards the brown light.
The two crashed into each which caused a large pulse knocking each other back, revealing the lights were Rockman and a new FM-Ian that looked like a Scale.
"Damn this guys tricky to catch," Rockman frowned, lagging behind the other FM-Ian.
"Be careful, Libra is one of the smarter of the FM-Ian's" Omega-xis warned, as they flew faster.
"Omega-xis, I will give you two choices for your next move A: Surrender and return the Andromeda key or B: Continue your traitorous actions" Libra asked
"And let you continue destroying planets? I don't think so" Omega-xis scoffed, as Rockman fired a blast towards Libra.
Libra was knocked back by Rockman's blast, as he pulled out a battle card.
" Battle Card! Predation! Jet Attack!" Rockman called, as Omega-xis ate the card, transforming into a bird's head.
He then flew up into the before dashing towards Libra, who barely dodged out of the way.
Rockman barely grazed Libra's shoulder, which left a noticeable wound on his shoulder.
"Tch, problematic I still haven't merged with a human yet" he frowned, before turning into the light to fly away.
"Get back here!" Rockman yelled, flying after him.
"I have two choices, A: Stay and fight or B: Flee and recover" Libra muttered as he watched Rockman before looking over at his wounded shoulder.
"B! Definitely B" Libra yelped before spinning around and manifesting a giant fire ball.
“H-Huh?!” Rockman blinked, before crossing his arms as the fire ball crashed into him knocking him towards a nearby building and returning Rockman to normal
"Damn it! Don't let him get away Ryu!" Omega-xis barked, as Ryu got back up.
"Y-Yeah, o-okay" Ryu said, as the two transformed again and continued chasing after Libra. The two lights dashing throughout the city, witch Rockman almost catching up to him.
"A little bit more! Keep going!" Omega-xis roared, as Rockman continued dashing after Libra, Omega-xis was about to bite at Libra, finally catching him when suddenly they started falling.
"What?! Ryu what are you Huh?!" Omega-xis blinked, seeing Ryu had passed out due to the damage and
"GOODBYE! OMEGA-XIS!" Libra laughed, flying off as Omega-xis growled "Damn it!".
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
"Ryu? Omega-xis? Are you okay, Ryu!" Nepgear gasped, as she watched what Ryu and Omega-xis were doing on her computer.
Libra had shown up a few times already and had been absorbing Planeptune's energy, Rockman was able to stop him but each time Libra had escaped.
"I hope they're okay… Ryu's been so tired trying to catch him" Nepgear mumbled, worriedly before Rockman phased through the window and landed on the ground.
"RYU!" Nepgear gasped, standing up as the two separated leaving Ryu unconscious before she picked him up and laid them on her bed.
Nepgear then took off the visualisers from Ryu’s head before placing it on herself so she could see Omega-xis, and he wasn't happy.
"GOD DAMN IT! WE WERE SO CLOSE" Omega-xis roared, punching the wall which he phased through.
"You weren't able to beat him again?" Nepgear asked, as Omega-xis growled.
"No! We weren’t! And we were so close to catching him! But then this bastard had to pass out" he yelled, glaring down at Ryu.
"I mean… you have been pushing him really far… he hasn't gotten any rest in days" Nepgear told him while looking at the bags in Ryu's eyes.
"So what! You're saying it's my fault now!" Omega-xis growled, making Nepgear jump back
"N-No, I-I'm j-just saying that rest is important" Nepgear gulped, making the alien scoff.
"This is why I hate meek people like you, can't even keep yourself awake for a few days" he said, before turning into energy flying off.
This caused Nepgear to look down sadly, gripping her hands a bit before sighing and helping Ryu out of her room and into his own.
Walking out of her room while carrying Ryu, she noticed that Neptune was playing her game "Come on! Just a little bit more".
"Neptune, don't you think you should be getting to bed now? It's getting pretty late" Nepgear asked, but Neptune just waved her hand.
"Yeah, yeah whatever after I beat this stage" she said, continuing to play, making Nepgear sigh as she made her way to Ryu's room and placed the younger boy on his bed.
As she watched him sleeping, she couldn't help but grip my hand.
'He's just a kid, and yet he can do all these amazing things, while I'm this country's CPU candidate… and yet I can't even transform' Nepgear thought, looking down. "Sometimes… I wish I was the one who became Rockman…"
"I should head to bed, it's getting late" Nepgear mumbled, before walking back to her room, not noticing that something was watching her.
Later in the night
Third person P.O.V.
We see Nepgear in her bed, deep in sleep however above her was Libra watching her.
"Seems that this girl is close with Rockman, the choices are A: Hide within her until the time to strike or B: Find someone else to EM wave change with and sticker soon" he wondered, before smirking "A, definitely A".
He then turned into energy before ramming into her causing a bright light as we get a look into what Nepgear was dreaming about. It was of Planeptune however it was currently being attacked by a giant Kaiju Dogoo.
"Oh no! The cities are being destroyed" she said, looking up at the giant Dogoo with her sister, IF, Compa and other citizens trapped in Jelly-like bodies.
"Tch, Oi Nepgear let's smash this jelly" Omega-xis told her, floating behind the girl.
"Alright" Negear nodded, raising her Transer which began glowing.
" EM WAVE CHANGE! NEPGEAR! ON AIR!" She yelled, as Omega-xis appeared behind her before engulfing her.
With a bright light we see her transformed into what looked like a purple version of Rockman with her hair tied up into a ponytail.
She then jumped into the air, charging up an energy blast as she did before blasting at Dogoo pushing it back.
She then pulled out a battle card before feeding it to Omega-xis, in order to shoot a powerful window which forced the Dogoo to push all the people trapped inside out.
The Giant Dogoo growled before jumping into the air, attempting to smash the hero.
Nepgear only smirked, as she pulled out two battle cards and fed them to Omega-xis.
" BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! ICE KNUCKLE! BREAK SABER!".
As her limbs transformed into the weapons before she punched the Dogoo, freezing its body before she used the break saber to drill into the monster, shattering it before it turned into pixels.
Nepgear landed on the ground before looking over at all the citizens she saved, including her friends and sister who were all cheering for her.
Nepgear smiled, looking at all the people cheering for her before she was forced to return to normal and found herself in a strange space.
"What?! Where am I?" Nepgear questioned, looking around the place when suddenly a silhouette of Libra appeared.
"I see, so you wish to be on the same level as your sister and Rockman Hmm?" He said, as Nepgear stepped back.
"I shall give you two choices A: Join with me, and get the power you yearn for or B: Refuse this offer, and forever be in the shadows of those you look up to".
"I-I…"Nepgear stammered, before everything went white.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Nepgear screamed, as she jumped from her bed before looking around.
"I-It was just a dream" she sighed, before moving back down to the bed.
"Let's just get some rest, Uni, Rom and Ram are coming over tomorrow"she mumbled, closing her eyes to get some sleep, not noticing her Transer glowing a bit.
The next day
Ryu P.O.V.
"Yawn, it's too early" Rockman yawned as he flew around the city on the wave road looking for Libra.
"Suck it up, we need to find Libra" Omega-xis growled, as Rockman looked down at him.
"Omega-xis, we don't even know where Libra ran off to, besides he's after the key right? Then we should just wait for him to come for us" Rockman suggested, but Omega-xis growled at him.
"Because now he has time to merge with a human, if you hadn't passed out last night then we wouldn't even have to worry about this" Omega-xis yelled, as Rockman scratched his hair.
"Yeah sorry about that, guess all the fighting was pretty taxing on me" Rockman apologised, before thinking about something.
"Hey by the way Omega-xis I've been meaning to ask, what is the Andromeda key anyway? and what does it open?" Rockman asked, as they landed on a rooftop.
"Why do you wanna know all of a sudden?" Omega-xis asked, as Rockman shrugged.
"Guess I was curious, come on tell me!" Rockman shrugged, making Omega-xis sigh and shook his head.
"Well I guess you've helped me enough, you deserve an explanation at this point" he said, perforce summoning the key in front of them.
It looked like a crystal orb, with a three fingered dragon holding on to it which was glowing with an ominous purple energy.
"That's the Andromeda key?" Rockman asked to which Omega-xis nodded and put it away.
"Yes, it has the ability to summon Planet FM's ultimate weapon, Andromeda the planet killer." Omega-xis explained "I've only used a tiny bit of it's power once, but with it was enough to destroy an entire asteroid field
"Incredible…" Rockman muttered. "But then why did you take it?".
"That, I'd rather keep to myself…" Omega-xis muttered looking away.
"Well… alright then" He said, continuing to fly when suddenly several shots fire at him "Huh?".
"Yo Rockman" he heard, looking up to see Blues above him.
“Blues!” "Scorpio!" Rockman and Omega-xis gasped, looking up at their enemy.
“So Cygnus was right! You do have the Andromeda Key” Scorpio yelled, as Blues aimed his buster at the pair.
“Sorry but I’m gonna need to take that back” Blues told them before firing, causing Rockman to jump to another wave road.
“Tch, we don’t have time for this! Let’s get out of here Ryu!” Omega-xis barked, as Rockman nodded and dashed away.
Planeptune Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"H-Huh?" Nepgear mumbled, as she slowly opened up her eyes only to be welcomed to the crack of sunlight in my room. Slowly moving up and stretching a bit she couldn’t help but yawn and shake her head.
"What was with that dream, it felt so real" She yawned, before noticing the time on her Transer."12:30! Oh goodness it's so late!"
"I need to get changed before Uni, Rom and Ram get here" She gasped jumping out of her bed quickly looking for her clothes "Geez! Why did I have to wake up so late! This never happens to me".
A few minutes later we see Uni, Rom and Ram walk into the Basilicon, as Neptune poked her head up from the couch.
"Oh hey guys! What'cha doing here?" Neptune waved, weakly after not getting a wink of sleep last night.
"Miss Nepgear invited us to hang out today," Rom explained with a smile.
"Yeah, but Neptune, why do you look so tired?" Ram asked, turning her head.
"Hehehe, I kinda've been playing this game all night" Neptune laughed, making Uni sweatdrop.
"No wonder Planeptune has the lowest shares of all" Uni said, as Neptune pouted.
"Hey, that's mean!" She said, before proceeding to continue playing her game.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late" Nepgear apologised, quickly leaving her room and running up to her friends.
"What took you so long?" Uni asked, as Nepgear smiled rubbing her head "Sorry, I was up late helping Ryu with something".
"Stop talking about that dummy!" Ram pouted. "Come on Nepgear! Where are we gonna go!".
"Yeah, we wanna do something" Rom nodded.
"Well I was thinking maybe we could try doing some quests" Nepgear suggested/
"Yeah, that sounds good," Uni said, as Ram smiled.
"Yeah! Come on! Let's go and beat up those monsters" Ram pumped, as the girls started making their way to the guild to get some monster hunting quests.
Planeptune City
Third person P.O.V.
"Okay, I think we lost them" Omega-xis said, as Rockman landed back on one of the buildings and sighed.
“Phew, that was getting pretty close th- woah!” he yelped, jumping back from some shots before looking up.
“Heh, surprise” Blues smirked, landing in front of Rockman “There’s no way I’m just gonna let you run away, we’re doing this! And we’re doing this now.”
He then fired several shots at Rockman forcing him to bring up a shield to protect himself from the attacks.
“Ryu! We’ve got no choice, we'll have to fight.” Omega-xis barked, glancing up at Ryu.
“R-Right!” He nodded, before breaking the barrier and throwing two cards into the air “Battle card! Predation! Sword! Vulcan!”
With the weapons formed, Rockman began firing several bullets at Blues who raised his shield blocking them.
“Heh! Finally taking some initiative! That’s great!” Blues smirked, before dashing forwards while blocking Rockman’s shots.
“Huh?! AH!” Rockman blinked, as the stinger shot from Blues tail and darted towards him so he quickly blocked the attack with his sword.
“I’m not gonna fall for that!” Rockman declared, before knocking the tail back and dashing forward.
“Oooh! You’re getting better” Blues smirked “But that doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop.”
The two EM warriors turned into energy before flying through the city, crashing into each other several times which caused interference in the technology throughout the city as they clashed.
Sirens blared through the streets as we see the Satellite Police chasing after the two warriors fighting.
“Come on! I know you’re here Rockman…” Detective Goyoda muttered, as he drove through the street before his computer beeped “There we go!”
“Now men! Full blast!” Goyoda yelled, as the cops fired a beam towards the Wave road.
“Huh?!” The two blinked, looking down as they saw the beam flying towards them before they were hit by it.
“GAH!” Rockman and Blues yelled, as they were sent flying back by the blast while the Satellite Police drove after them.
Crashing in an alleyway in the city, the two of them were forced to return to normal as Ryu held his head.
“Ow, what the heck was that?” Ryu questioned while rubbing his head.
“R-Ryu! Look” Omega-xis said, making Ryu raise an eyebrow before his eyes widened.
“Yo Aniki! Are you okay?” Scorpio asked, as Jack rubbed his head.
“Yeah I’m alright Scorpi-oh…” Jack’s eyes widened seeing Ryu staring at him “Huh?! Ryu, you’re Rockman!”
“I should be saying that! Jack-Senpai, you’re Blues!” Ryu gawked, pointing at him “Why did you merge an FM-Ian! Did he force you to do this!”
“Excuse you! Aniki and I are brothers! There’s no way I’d do something like that to him.” Scorpio declared.
“H-Huh” Ryu blinked, confused.
“Scorpio’s the youngest of us, not surprised he’d get attached to his human.” Omega-xis said.
“But, if you’re not being forced to do this…why are you working together! And why do you do all of those things back in Super Ninten Land!” Ryu asked, making Jack go silent.
“It’s a long story, but…” Jack said before they heard sirens “Shit, we should go somewhere else first! Come on!”
“Huh?! H-Hey!” Ryu blinked, as he was pulled along by Jack.
Virtua forest
Third person P.O.V.
Meanwhile we see Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram walking through a dense forest in search of some monster they had to defeat.
Uni peered her eyes back, as she looked at Nepgear who looked to be more tired as she was farther back then the others.
Uni stepped back a bit and started walking next to her best friend "You doing okay, gear?".
"Huh, oh yeah sorry I'm just a bit tired right now" she explained, rubbing her eyes making Uni nod as they continued walking.
As they walked, we looked towards Nepgear's Transer to see Libra inside.
"Hehehe, I'll just need to A wait for my chance to escape from this Transer or B wait for my chance to combine with this girl" Libra smirked, watching what they were doing "Definitely B!".
"Hey guys hurry up! We're here!" Ram yelled, as the two cpu candidates caught up with the twin candidates.
The group of four looked down and saw a group of large blue furred wolves called Fenrirs which were coming dangerously close to a village.
"So what's the quest again?" Rom asked, looking at the Fenrir's down below.
"Apparently we have to exterminate the Fenrir's before they attack the village" Uni explained, looking at the request on her Transer.
"Alright! Let's do this!" Ram cheered, running down the hill much to the surprise of everyone else as they tried to follow her.
"Hey! Ram wait" Rom called, as they pulled out their weapons.
Uni's was a black sniper rifle, Rom's was a white and light blue staff while Rom's was the same except white and pink.
Uni stayed up at the top of the hill as she aimed her sniper rifle at the Fenrir's before firing at the monsters.
This hit the ground next to the monsters, catching them by surprise as they looked up to see the three candidates running towards them.
The Fenrir's growled as they rushed towards the three Cpu candidates.
One of the Fenrirs leapt towards Ram but she quickly waved her wand, this allowed her to use wind magic to blow it back.
"Woah! Mina's magic is really helping out" Ram said, happily while next her Rom used water magic to throw a ball of water at the Fenrir's knocking it back.
"Wow this is so exciting! We've never get to the monster fighting quests like this!" Rom smiled.
"Guys concentrate!" Nepgear said, as a Fenrir leapt towards
It tried biting her but she raised her sword causing the wolf to bite the sword.
She then knocked the beast back, and tried to attack the sword but then she suddenly froze.
"Huh? Nepgear!" Uni yelled, as she fired her gun at the Fenrir before it could attack Nepgear.
This caught Rom and Ram's attention, distracting them enough for the Fenrir to attack them, knocking them back.
The Fenrir was about to finish them off but then.
" HEAVEN'S DEMON!" They heard, as several swords flew towards the Fenrir killing them all.
The girls looked up to see IF and Compa running towards them.
"Iffy!" "Miss Compa!" Ram and Rom smiled, as the two guild members walked up to them.
"You two okay?" Compa asked, as she checked two young candidates' injuries.
"You're lucky that we also picked this quest, but why were the monsters able to one up you guys?" IF asked, as Uni walked down the hill.
"It's because Nepgear froze up for some reason" the candidate of Lastation said, as she checked Nepgear "What happened back there".
However Nepgear only smirked, confusing her friend before her was engulfed in an amber auto knocking everyone back.
" EM WAVE CHANGE! NEPGEAR! ON AIR!" Nepgear yelled, as she was forced to fuse with Libra becoming Libra scales.
Libra Scales was a much more solid version of Libra. She still wore the Roman styled helmet and her pink eyes were very visible. A blue stripe went around her chest area and she had stiff scales for arms.
The scales had wide shoulders with red fin-like structures, spikes at the top of the palms, and were holding balancing weights through strings.
The weights each had three spikes at the bottom and were holding a flame at left, and a water tornado at the right. Instead of legs, she had a very thick platform colored in bronze which bore the gold sign of libra at the top, two blue stripes at the sides, and spikes underneath both her and the sides of the stripes. However, the wound on the shoulder was still very much visible.
"Nepgear! What is this!" Uni yelled, as the FM-Ian looked at the candidates.
"Your friend Nepgear is gone, I am Libra scales" she said, as she fired tornadoes at the group.
"It's just like what happened at Ryu's school, the FM-Ian took over the person's body" IF said.
"Let go of Nepgear you big dummy!" "Yeah!" Ram and Rom said, as they used their magic on the FM-Ian.
However Libra Scales just changed it's frequency causing the magic to phase through her "Don't think your simple attacks will work on me" she said, before going in for the attack.
Bascilicom
Third person P.O.V.
“This should be good” Jack said, as they stood outside of the Bascilicom crossing his arms “Now…for the explanation.”
“Yeah, Jack Senpai. How did you end up working with the FM-Ian?” Ryu asked, with a look of concern on his face.
“Don’t know much to say, I was walking back from my part time job..” Jack muttered, crossing his arms “On my way back I saw some people getting attacked by this weird monster.”
“A weird monster?” Ryu asked, with a raised eyebrow.
“It was crazy! On of the EM Viruses had merged with a human! And started attacking people” Scorpio explained, causing Ryu’s eyes to widen.
“Wait, that’s possible?” Ryu asked, making Omega-xis cross his arms.
“Yeah, they’re called Jammers. Its rare but it is possible, I didn't think it would happen on this planet though…” Omega-xis muttered.
“Well I couldn’t just leave them be, so I started fighting the monster to let the people escape” Jack explained “It was tough battle though, if it wasn’t for Scorpio I definitely would have died.”
“Are you kidding me? You actually saved him” Omega-xis asked, with a raised eyebrow.
“Course! There’s no way I was gonna let someone as awesome as Aniki die! So I merged with him and together we kicked that Jammer's ass!” Scorpio laughed.
“Yeah pretty much, ever since then we’ve been doing what you do. Taking care of viruses messing with technology, all that.” Jack shrugged.
“But then why did you kidnap Rom and Ram back in Lowee!” Ryu asked, as Jack crossed his arms “I mean, you were working with criminals.”
“Let’s just say I’m working with some people for my own means, I’m looking for somebody else and I need their help.” Jack said, making Ryu blink.
“What do you mean?” Ryu asked only for Omega-xis smirked.
“I get it, enemy of your enemy is your friend” Omega-xis grinned, as Jack snapped his fingers.
“You got it, been working with some of the other FM-Ian’s but only to get what I want.” he grinned.
“Huh…” Ryu muttered “So…that means…we’re enemies…”
“Heh for now,” Jack smirked patting his shoulder “As for the future, well we’ll have to see… but let me give you a little hint.”
“Huh” Ryu blinked, looking up at Jack.
“That Libra guy you were looking for? We saw him hide in the CPU Candidate Transer.” Jack told him.
“What!” Ryu gasped, stepping back.
“Alright! Now our shot! Let’s go Ryu!” Omega-xis grinned, pumping his arms as the two combined, becoming Rockman.
"So what do you think Aniki, wanna follow them" Scorpio said, as Jack slowly nodded.
“Heh, might as well. Just in case they need our help” Jack grinned as the two combined to become Blues as they flew after Rockman.
Virtua forest
Third person P.O.V.
Meanwhile back with the CPU candidates and the guild members they were having trouble as all of the attacks they attempted against Libra scales did nothing.
"Hehehe, try as you might, nothing you do can harm me! I am the smartest of all FM-Ian's" she boasted.
"Let Nepgear go now!" Uni yelled, as she aimed her gun at Libra scales "RADIANT BULLET!"
She then fired an electric charged bullet towards the FM-Ian however it only smirked, as she changed her frequency causing the bullet to phase through her body.
"No!" Uni said, as Libra Scales sent a wave of fire towards her however before it could hit her a figure rushed in front of her.
" BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! BARRIER!"
Suddenly Rockman flew in and used a Barrier to protect the Uni from the attack.
"Wow! It's Rockman!" Ram and Rom gasped, excitedly as Rockman turned around.
"You guys okay?" He asked, looking at the group of girls who looked at him with worried looks.
"R-Rockman, that monster it took over Nepgear" Uni told him, as Rockman nodded.
“I know, someone already told me about this” Rockman told them before looking back at Libra Scales “But I didn’t think Nepgear would have merged with an FM-Ian.”
“Ah! Omega-xis and Rockman! How good to meet you” Libra Scales smirked “Finally, it's my chase for revenge for getting in my way!”
Libra Scales shot a wave of water towards Rockman but he jumped over the wave blasted at him with his Rock Buster knocking Libra Scales.
“Hah!” IF yelled, firing at Libra Scales with her two guns which distracted Libra Scales for Rockman to dash in.
“Battle Card! Predation! Thunder Knuckle!” Rockman yelled, using the Battle Card and delivering a powerful punch at the FM-Ian.
“Hah!” Libra Scales yelled, as he spun around and swung his Scales at Rockman sending him flying back.
“Now! How about this!” Libra scales was about to fire another blast at the officer but then Rom and Ram use a light magic to blind the FM-Ian.
“Are you okay? Mr Rockman?” Rom asked, running up to his side making him smile.
“Yeah, thanks” Rockman nodded, patting her head before getting back up as he turned back to Liba Scales.
“Alright everyone! I need you all to attack when I tell you!” Omega-xis told the girls before looking up “Rockman, follow my lead.”
“Right” Rockman nodded, before dashing ahead while Libra Scales shot some fire tornados at him.
Jumping over the attacks, Rockman landed behind him before a THunder Battle card to tie him up.
“W-WHAT IN THE WORLD?!” Libra scales screamed, as Canis looked up.
"NOW! USE YOUR ATTACKS ON IT!" Canis yelled, as the girls nodded.
" Ice Coffin!" Rom and Ram yelled, as they both shot a powerful wind of flame.
" Demon Flame!" IF yelled, as she shot a flaming tornado.
" Spark shot!" Compa yelled, using her needle to shoot a park of electricity
" Tricolour Shoot!" Uni yelled, shooting a bullet which cause the three other attacks to combine into one powerful attack.
As the attack was about to hit, Libra Scales smirked, as she moved her scales in front of her before summoning a fire and ice virus, as a yellow aura surrounded his body.
'What!' Rockman hought, as the attack hit causing a small explosion knocking everyone back.
"Owie, it hurts" Compa said, shaking her head as everyone got back up.
"Did that do it?" Uni asked, as she saw the smoke before it died down revealing Libra Scales fine.
"What but how!" IF said, as Libra Scales simply smirked.
"I simply used my two scales and changed my element to negate your attacks" he said "And now time to end this".
" Libra Swing!" Libra Scales yelled, as he then spun around at quick speeds before ramming into everyone, knocking everyone back.
“And now, my chance to escape!” Libra Scales as he flew into the air with Rockman follow after
The two then changed their frequencies as they flew up to the wave road much to everyone's surprise.
Wave road
Ryu P.O.V.
Libra Scales threw several waves of fire and wind towards me and Omega-xisl so I barely had a chance to move out of the way.
"Why did you have to take over Nepgear, what did you have to say to convince her!" I yelled, firing my Buster at the FM-Ian.
However Libra Scales spun her Scales to knock my blasts away.
"Fool! It was easy to combine with this girl" she laughed, before throwing a wave of fire "And that's all thanks to you!".
"What!" I gasped, which distracted me enough for the wave to hit me knocking me back before Libra Scales flew up into the air before crashing on top of me.
"Gah!" I screamed, trying to push him off of my body.
"It was because of her jealousy over your power that her heart was open enough for me to come in and combine with her!" They explained, slamming down on my body again.
"W-What… I had no idea…" I stuttered, as Omega-xis looked at me.
"This ain't the time, look up at the shoulder" Omega-xis told me, as I looked up and noticed the wound still on his shoulder.
I lifted Omega-is up and fired a charged shot at Libra Scales' shoulder which knocked her off of me.
"Nepgear… I know you're still in there…I don't know why you're jealous of me and Omega-xis's power… but you don't have to be! If it wasn't for all the help you've given us this far we wouldn't have been able to beat as many of these guys as we have or even help as many as we have" I called out, as Libra scales smirked.
"Please, you really think that heart felt speech will work" she said, about to attack again but noticed she couldn't move "What!".
(Play Brave Heart from digimon)
"Nepgear…" I smiled, before pulling out a battle card Nepgear made for me "I'm going to save you… with the battle card's you made for us!".
" BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! EXTREME SPEED!" I threw the battle card into the air and had Omega-xis eat it before in a flash I disappeared.
"What! Where did he go!" Libra Scales yelled, looking for us but then.
" BATTLE CARD! PREDATION! SHADOW CLONE!".
Suddenly on top of the wave roads several clones of myself and Omega-xis appeared as we all began blasting the confused FM-Ian.
"Stop!" Libra Scales yelled, throwing waves of fire and ice at us which destroyed the clones.
" BATTLE CARD PREDATION! MISSILE!" I yelled, sending several missiles towards Libra scales knocking her down to the ground.
"Here's our chance Ryu! Finish it!" He said, as I nodded, pulling out six battle cards before Omega-Xis ate them.
" Program Advance! Tri Saber! Impact Cannon!"
" Celestial Severance" I yelled, mimicking Nepgear's attack.
I then rushed towards Libra Scales and slashed her several time at the FM-Ian before kicking her into the air,
I then fired at the FM-Ian with my cannon causing a small explosion.
I then caught the falling Nepgear who was unconscious as Libra flew away "I'll be back! Omega-Xis".
I looked over at Nepgear's unconscious body as jumped off the wave road and changed our frequency much to the surprise of the others.
"Nepgear!" Uni, Rom and Ram said as they ran towards me as I laid Nepgear on the ground.
"Is she okay?" Rom asked, as I smiled and patted her head "Don't worry she's just unconscious".
"Wow you were able to save Nepgear you're definitely a hero" Ram smiled, which made me blush.
"You think? Hehe" I smiled, rubbing my head a gun was pointed at me as I looked back to see IF pointing her gun at me.
“Rockman, you’ve evaded the guild for too long. You’re vigilantism ends today” IF stated, glaring at me.
"What are you doing! He helped us, why are you arresting him" Uni asked, as the IF looked at her.
“He's a dangerous vigilante that’s been affecting the share’s of Planeptune” IF told them “He might have even affected the other Nations shares as well, we should at least find out who he is"
'What…I’ve been affecting the shares…' I thought, looking down in shock before several blasts were shot at us.
"Huh?" we said, as we all looked up to see Blues on one of the hills with a smirk on his face.
“AH! It’s that guy who kidnapped us!” Ram yelled, pointing
“Heh, hope you’re ready for round two Rockman” he grinned with a wink making my eyes widen before he flew off.
“Huh…oh!” I gasped, before changing my frequency and going after him.
"Damn it! Get back here Rockman!" IF yelled, as I flew back to the Bascilicom.
Later that night
Ryu P.O.V.
"Hey Nepgear" I muttered, walking into Nepgear's room as she rested in her bed.
"Oh hey Ryu…" she smiled sitting back up "Thanks for saving me back there".
"Yeah…" I nodded sitting down on the seat in her room "Hey mind if I ask you something?"
"Sure…" she nodded, and I could tell she already knew what I was going to ask.
"When I was fighting Libra … he said the reason he was able to combine with you was because you were jealous of me and Omega-xis's power… was that true" I asked, making her frown.
"…Yeah…" she whispered, looking down "I was jealous… because when I first heard you were moving in I was excited to get someone that'd be like a little brother to me…But… then I found out that even you were able to transform just like Neptune… and I was scared that I'd be the only out of all of us that I wouldn't be able to transform… I wanted to be able to help all of you".
"Nepgear…I'm sorry… I didn't know" I apologised before looking up and grasping her hands.
“R-Ryu” She gasped, her face turning a bit red.
“But, you’re not useless! You've been helping us out this whole time, I know for a fact that when you finally transform you'll be able to help people just like me and Neptune" I told her as she blinked in surprise.
"Thank you" she smiled, as she pulled a controller for the game in her room "Um, I was wondering if you wanted to play… together".
"Sure" I smiled, as we shifted around to begin playing her game together.
Chapter 13: The song of the snake
Chapter Text
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
We see Luna happily walking through the streets of Planeptune as she looks at the ticket to Aika and 5pb's concert that Ryu gave her.
"Ah, I can't believe I was so lucky that Ryu had this ticket" she gushed, thinking back to what just happened about an hour ago.
Flashback
"Eh?! You're giving me this ticket" she asked, as Luna and Ryu sat down in a café.
"Yeah, Aika gave me these two tickets so I can go to her new concert with Nepgear but turns out Lady Green Heart had already invited her and the other goddesses to the concert, so I thought you might like to go with me".
"So not only do I get to meet Aika Hibiki and 5pb but I also get to meet the Goddesses!" She asked, with an excited smile.
"Uh yeah" "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I’D LOVE TO GO!!!!!"
"Alright alright, just meet me at the Bascilicom's entrance tomorrow in the afternoon" he smiled, as Luna nodded
Flashback end
"Ahh, the only thing that would make this day even better would be if Rockman showed up" she smiled happily but then.
BOOM!
"Huh?" Luna blinked looking over to see that the Electric appliances were going haywire.
'Oh no! It must be EM viruses going on another attack!' She thought, going to hide as crowds of people ran through the streets to find somewhere safe.
'Wait… this must mean Rockman will be here!' She thought, deciding to stay so she could see him.
Meanwhile on the wave roads we see Rockman who was fighting against the EM viruses that were running amok.
"Come on!" Rockman shouted, shooting energy blasts from his Buster.
The viruses in his sight were all deleted with each blast, but then he noticed more coming from the air.
"Battle card! Predation! Flame sword!" He then flicked the Battle Card into the air for Omega-Xis to grab, transforming into a flaming sword.
Jumping into the air, Rockman proceeded to slash virus after virus that got into his way.
"Rah!" He yelled, slashing down one flying virus before spinning around and slashing down another.
One tried shooting blasts at him but he moved out of the way before he took out another Battle Card.
"Battle Card! Predation! Missile!" He yelled, summoning several missiles which homed onto the viruses before chasing them down, causing several explosions on impact.
"Phew" Rockman sighed as he landed back down on to the wave road.
"You're getting better at this, I'm almost proud" Omega-xis smirked, making Ryu smile.
"Hehe, thanks…” Rockman smiled, before looking back up at the sky
"Huh? Is something wrong" Omega-xis asked, as he noticed Ryu’s mood.
"Huh oh uh you se-" Rockman tried to explain, but then a thunder virus materialised in front of him.
"Huh? Woah!" He yelped, as the Virus attacked him but he dodged out of the way.
He was about to rush in so he could attack it but then flashes of both Tom Dubias and Jack Sasori making him freeze.
"Huh? Oi Ryu!" Omega-xis yelled, as the virus attacked him by sending a bolt of electricity knocking him back.
"Gah!" He cried, crashing down on the ground.
"Rockman!" Luna gasped, as she got up and took out a battle card so she could help her hero but then.
"SHOCK NOTE!" She heard, as an energy note hit the virus, deleting it.
"Huh?" Luna blinked, looking up to see Lyra Note on top of a building.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! The defender of love and peace has arrived, Lyra Note" Lyra Note declared, as she jumped down the building and landed safely.
"You okay, Rockman?" She asked, helping the hero back up as he smiled.
"Yeah thanks for that" he nodded, rubbing his head "You really know how to make an entrance don't you?".
'What! Who's that girl with my Rockman!' Luna thought, glaring at Lyra Note.
"But of course," Lyra Note grinned cheekily, "It's one of the most important things to know as a performer."
"R-Right" Rockman sweatdropped, before he noticed more viruses coming in for the attack.
"Look out!" He yelled, embracing Lyra Note so he could protect her.
'Is he?!' Luna gasped 'But… but he's mine!'.
"You okay?" Rockman asked, as Lyra Note nodded.
"Yeah guess you paid me back with that one" she smiled, making Rockman blush as the two jumped back towards the wave world.
"Hey wait!" Luna yelled, but they were already gone.
"…Rockman…?".
Mansion
Third person P.O.V.
"Welcome back, Lady Luna" Luna heard as she walked into her home being greeted by about a dozen butlers and maids.
"Where's father…"
"Currently on a business trip in Lastation, my lady".
"And Mother…"
"A marketing event in Leanbox".
"And brother and sister…".
"Still taking their tutoring classes" the head butler told her "Do you wish for your dinner, my lady?".
"No…I'm not hungry" she frowned "I'll just go to my room"
When Luna entered her room the first thing she did was grab the Rockman plushie she had in her dresser and flopped on top of the bed whilst hugging the toy.
"Rockman…" she muttered, remembering her crush's interaction with that girl, Lyra Note.
She soon opened up her Transer and stared at the pictures she took of herself and Rockman.
"Grr…" she growled before sitting up "Who the heck does that girl think she is! Getting all lovey dovey with my Rockman!".
As she laid back down, a portal opened up in the corner of the room with two red eyes glaring at the girl.
Planeptune city
Ryu P.O.V.
After defeating the rest of the viruses, I decided to take a breather as I landed on the roof of a building.
"Phew" I sighed, as I sat down on the roof of a building "That took longer than I thought".
"Nice job" Lyra Note said, tossing me a drink.
"Woah!" I yelped, almost dropping the drunk before catching it.
"Thanks" I smiled, opening the can and taking a sip. "So what are you doing here? I thought you would have been practicing for your concert".
"Yeah, I'm on a break now and thought it'd be fun to hang out for a bit," she nodded, sitting down next to me.
With a bright flash we both returned to normal as Omega-xis and Lyra floated next to us.
"Ah Geez, those EM viruses are such a nuisance" Omega-xis groaned, stretching as Lyra smirked.
"Oh come now, they’re good for some exercise" she said, as Aika gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah, besides they’re just puny little guys ain't that right Ryu?" Aika asked, looking over at me because I was just looking down at my can "You okay?".
"Yeah it's just… my Senpai… Jack, I found out that…he’s also like us…but he’s working for the Bad Guys…meaning we will have to fight… and I wasn't able to save Mr Dubias, the guy Cygnus combined with either…guess I'm not much of a hero" I sighed, looking down.
"…Ryu…" Aika said, before she pouted annoyed as she sat in front of me
"Huh Aika? Wha-deh" I blinked before, Aika began pulling my cheeks “OW OW OW!”
"Ryu tell me, how many people have you saved and rescued as Rockman?" She asked, as he shook his head.
"I-I don't know? A lot" I guessed, and she nodded.
"That's right, you've saved a whole bunch of people as Rockman so how can you say you’re not a hero" she yelled at him.
"Yeah kid, I have to admit you've impressed me with how many FM-Ian warriors you've beaten" Omega-xis nodded, crossing his arms.
"Thanks" I smiled, while nodding.
"Hey Aika shouldn't we be heading back now before your producer calls you?" Lyra asked, as Aika groaned.
"Ugh, fine" she said, standing back up "Alright Ryu, hope you'll show up at my concert tomorrow"
"Definitely".
With a bright flash, Aika transformed into Lyra Note before she waved and flew off.
Dash Train station
Third person P.O.V.
The afternoon of the next day we see Ryu, Neptune, Nepgear, IF and Compa waiting outside the train station.
"Ugh, why can't we just transform and say we'd meet them there" Omega-xis whispered, as Ryu looked at the Transer.
"I don't want to leave Luna alone with a lot of strangers, it'd be rude" Ryu told him.
"I'll never get you humans" Omega-xis sighed while shaking his head.
"So why are we waiting out here again?" IF asked, crossing her arms.
"Well Noire and Blanc agreed that we should all head to Leanbox together" Neptune explained "Not only that, but one of Ryu’s friends is coming.”
"Really? Who" Compa asked, turning her head as she turned to Ryu.
"My friend Luna, she's a pretty big fan of this stuff so I thought she might enjoy it" He explained, making IF raised an eyebrow.
"But we didn't have enough tickets for an extra person" she asked, crossing her arms.
"Oh Aika invited me, and gave me an extra ticket. I was gonna bring Nepgear but then Vert invited us so I invited Luna instead”
"It's a good thing that she knew that we were the goddesses, that woulda been awkward.” Neptune laughed “I really didn't like wearing those wigs"
"Sorry I'm late" they heard, as they looked over to see Luna running up to them while holding on to a book.
"Oh hey there you are, where were you? You’re usually on time” Ryu asked, making the girl sigh.
"Sorry, I woke up late and had to quickly get ready" she explained, as Neptune peered over.
"Oh? And what's that book you got?" Neptune asked, as Luna stepped back.
"Um…". "Leave her alone Neptune"
The group blinked looking up to see Black Heart and White Heart floating down towards them while carrying their siblings.
"Miss Nepgear!" Rom and Ram cheered at the same time as they jumped off of their sister and ran up to the candidate along with Uni.
With a bright flash Black Heart and White Heart returned to normal, as Neptune walked up.
"Hey you guys made it! You guys sure are slowpokes" Neptune asked, confusing the other two.
"What do you mean? We're right on time" Noire questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Huh?" Neptune blinked
"I'm surprised you got here early, I thought you would have forgotten and played some game instead" Blanc admitted, before Neptune fell down on to her knees.
"Ah man! I should've done that!" She cried, as Compa comforted her.
"There there Nep-Nep, you'll be able to play all you want when we get back".
"Hehe" Ryu sweatdropped, looking at Neptune before he noticed Luna looking at Noire and Blanc shyly.
'Oh I see…' Ryu smiled, as he began pulling Luna towards the goddesses "H-Hey!".
"Hey Lady Noire, Lady Blanc this is my friend who wanted to meet you guys" he said, as the two goddesses blinked.
"Oh really now, well its nice to meet you" Noire greeted, with a confident smile on her face ‘Glad to see some people in this dork’s nation can recognise the greatness of Lastation.”
"Uh, I-I'm L-Luna P-Platz t-the class president of R-Ryu's classmate" she greeted
"Platz? You mean from Platz Inc?" Noire blinked
"Y-Yes, my father is the president” She nodded, causing Noire to cross her arms
"Oh very impressive, I've enjoyed a lot of the tech made by your family.”
"W-Well of course my family games are always of top priority" she boasted, making Neptune run up to Noire.
"Like looking in a mirror, ain't it Lonely Heart?" She asked, elbowing Noire's shoulder.
"Neptune!" Noire yelled, as the two began arguing with each other.
"That book…" Blanc muttered, looking at the book in Luna's hand.
"Hmm, oh right" Luna blinked, turning around as she showed the book, which was the one Ryu helped Blanc with, to the goddess "Um, I was big fan of your new book, Saber and the world of wonder, and I was wondering if you could sign it?".
"O-Oh sure" Blanc said, a bit excited as she sighed one of her books for the very first time.
"Hey guys, trains here" IF said, as the others walked to the train to get to Leanbox.
Concert hall
Third person P.O.V.
We saw a gigantic concert hall which was decorated with posters of Aika and 5pb. It also filled to the brim with a bunch of people
Looking from atop the studio, Lyra was watching with a mildly curious look on her face. "They have so much time on their hands, Humans really are an odd bunch."
While she looked onward, a small wave of electromagnetic energy buzzed near her. She tensed as she felt someone appear. "Who's there?"
Appearing in thin air was another ghost-like being with a body of purple energy that was long, slender, serpentine in appearance, and had feminine curves.
She had pads on her shoulder that were shaped like bulky snake tails. Her face was covered in a helmet snake-like mask with only red eyes glowing through the gaps and short purple hair flaring like a flame.
"It’s just Ophiucha… It's been awhile." Lyra sighed, as the now named Ophiucha turned to her,
"What happened to your hunt, Lyra?" Ophiucha demanded, clearly in no mood for a meet and greet.
"It's... it's a bit of a long story," Lyra explained nervously.
"What about Omega-Xis?" Ophiucha continued.
"I tried but I can't beat him on my own!" Lyra reasoned.
"And the Andromeda Key?"
"No luck there either, but I did what I could, " Lyra shrugged.
Ophiuchus leaned over with a glare, "I wonder why I don't believe you..."
"Hey! At least I haven't been defeated by Rockman like all the others!" Lyra yelled, confusing Ophiuchusa.
"Rockman?" Ophiucha repeated, with a confused tone.
"Yeah, Omega-xis fused with a human boy so he could fight the rest of us, not only that but his host is close to the leaders of this planet who have powers on a level to ours”
"Oh, is that so?" Ophiucha mused, intrigued on this Rockman "How interesting... so he named himself after that FM-Ian criminal"
"You have that look in your eyes again... if you're thinking of making them your next hunting targets then let me give you some advice" Lyra grimaced. "It's not worth it! Let's just get off this planet and leave it alone. It's obvious the people here are willing to fight for survival."
"It seems I'm going to have to make a report on your poor performance and attitude," Ophiucha responded, not hearing Lyra's opinion.
"WELL IF YOU'RE SO SURE YOU CAN BEAT THEM THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO AND TRY, THEN YOU'LL SEE HOW TOUGH THEY ARE!" Lyra yelled, making Ophiucha grinned behind her mask.
"Trust me, that's exactly what I intend to do." Ophiucha smirked, turning around "It's been awhile since I was on a hunt and I need something to do to uncoil myself."
She then looked down at the many people going to the concert "But first I need to find someone to perform an EM Wave Change with so that I can begin my hunt".
With that, Ophiucha vanished making Lyra sigh "This isn't going to be good".
Concert
Third person P.O.V.
(Play Kirihakaru Gracie star from neptunia mk 2)
We see a platform like elevator moving upwards, towards the concert with two people on top of it.
One was Aika who looked pretty confident. She was wearing clothes which matched with 5pb.'s clothes and had a microphone around her neck
The other person was 5pb. Who was taking a deep breath to prepare herself for the song.
They then looked up as they rose to the open field of the concert.
" Shine for me! Star of hopes and dreams! I swear that you can always count on me! And I'll always rise above! Because I won't lose to anyone!" The two singers sung, to the large crowd of fans in front of them.
"Wow, so cool!" Neptune grinned in awe, as she and the rest of the goddesses sat in the front row while Ryu and Luna's tickets took them to another area.
"You wouldn't expect anything less from Leanbox's diva, wouldn't you?" IF rhetorically asked, as Compa "She's so cool!".
"Yeah, but Aika is really good as well!" Nepgear smiled, as they continued listening.
" That purple earth with a blue sky fluttering with green! Stay here! Behold the beauty all around you! Come take my hand, let's see it again!."
"Man this is freaking cool, I've never been to such a big concert before!" Ryu smiled, excitedly as Luna nodded.
"I know, and I've never been to a concert in Leanbox before, They definitely know what they're doing".
" This kindness in your heart, the warm touch of your skin! We may be far apart but I know one day!"
As the idols continued singing, several jets flew above them towards the sky.
" Will you shine for me! Star of hopes and dreams! I will be strong because there's nothing too extreme in your heart!"
"Say yes to me, what's written in the sky!"
Jet's then flew around, using tricks to form into a heart shape, with an arrow going through it.
" I know it's meant to be! I swear I'll make it and we'll make them realise!
"That I will always rise above!"
"Because I won't lose to anyone!"
(End song)
The entire concert began cheering as the idols began waving to their fans.
"Thanks guys!" 5pb. said, as Aika nodded "Yeah you guys are the best".
"Now how about some Dimension Tripper!" 5pb. grinned as they started their next song.
As the song started playing, Luna was suddenly compelled to leave to the bathroom. So she excused herself before heading to the concert hall's bathroom.
"Oi Ryu" Omega-xis yelled, popping open Ryu's Transer as he did "We should follow her".
"W-What! Why that's rude" Ryu whispered, as Omega-xis looked at him.
"I noticed a familiar frequency following her, it's Gotta be the next FM-Ian" he said, surprising Ryu.
"W-What!".
Bathroom
Third person P.O.V.
We see Luna walking out of the stall as she begins washing her hands.
'Ah this is so much fun! I'm so glad Ryu invited me. I've almost forgotten abou-' she said, as a flash of when she saw Rockman and Lyra note together.
"…Right…" she muttered quietly, as she dried her hand using a cloth before turning around but as she did a purple glow appeared from the mirror.
“Hmm…You’ll do~”
"Huh?" Luna blinked, looking back at the mirror to see nothing.
Luna turned back around and walked towards the door but continued feeling that someone was watching her.
Luna steeled herself before turning around, only for her eyes to widen when she saw Ophiucha standing in place of her reflection
"W-W-W-Who are you!" Luna gasped, tripping back and falling to the ground as Ophiucha studied her.
"I am known as Ophiucha, an FM-Ian and I have chosen you as my host for an EM-wave change ” Ophiucha introduced herself, scaring Luna,
"No, please stay away!" She cried, stepping back "Rockman! Save me!".
"Rockman? Haha! All you need to do is transform with me and you'll be able to see him before I destroy him" Ophiucha exclaimed while laughing as her eyes glowed which reflected in Luna's eyes.
"Yes…" Luna muttered, her eyes becoming dull and her voice sounding empty as she raised her arm.
"Em Wave Change… Luna Platz…On air".
Meanwhile outside we see Omega-xis trying to drag Ryu into the Bathroom but Ryu held onto the door.
"H-Hey! Omega-xis!" Ryu yelled, as Omega-xis was trying to pull Ryu into the woman's bathroom but he was pulling back "We can't go in here! It's the woman's bathroom!".
"Now ain't the time to worry about that! It's too important!" Omega-Xis retorted. "Besides, there's no one around!"
"That's not the point!" Ryu yelled, embarrassed. "It could be occupied!"
"So what? Don't be a big baby!" Omega-xis yelled, pulling the boy into the bathroom as Ryu fell down on the floor of the bathroom.
"Ow, sorry ladies, you see I- Huh" he said, before being blinded by a bright light.
When the light died down Ryu saw Luna now in her EM wave change form with Ophiucha.
She now had light-blue skin and her chest was concealed by a purple brassier, and her midriff was exposed. Her lower half was replaced by an armored blue and purple tail that was studded with a green gem on each side and looked like it could easily crush anything.
She also wore purple gloves with sharp nails and matching bracelets. Her shoulders were covered by pads that were shaped like the tips of snake tails, purple on top with pink on the bottom. Her face was shown and covered by a pink veil, but her eyes shone red and were reptilian in nature.
She also had large, spike-like twin princess drills with long, green, snakes coiling around them. And the helmet on her head was the same as Ophiuchus with green crystal earrings on her pink earpieces.
Ryu felt himself freeze up, as his gaze met with the FM-Ian's glare.
She then smirked before raising her tail and slapping Ryu's face, knocking him out the door causing him to hit his head, getting knocked out.
"Ryu! Ryu! Wake up" Omega-xis yelled, as Ophiucha disappeared.
Meanwhile outside.
We see all of the people cheering as Aika and 5pb. Finished up their last song and about to start the next.
"Alright! Next up how about we start Heart wave" They were about to sing but then their microphone's suddenly cut off and the screen behind them began glitching
"Huh?" The idols blinked, checking their microphones, confusing the audience below them.
Suddenly the screen changed to reveal Luna in her EM wave change form on the screen.
"What!" Noire said, as Blanc gripped her hand "Another one of those Aliens!".
"Greetings people of this useless planet, I am Queen Ophiuca and I am on the hunt for a traitor to my planet, you may know him as Rockman.” she grinned, petting the Snakes that wrapped around her body "But while I wait for him, my pets have been needing some exercise…sooo… come my snake legion!"
Suddenly the two snakes began to slither out of the screen before they changed frequency to become solid, transforming into two gigantic purple cobras.
The crowd screamed and began running away as the two cobras began spitting a strange liquid at people turning anyone who touched it to stone.
"Uni! Get everyone to safety, leave the cobra's to us!" Noire exclaimed, before dashing forward.
"Yeah, Nepgear you two!" Neptune agreed as she and Blanc followed Noire’s lead while the Candidates began helping people evacuate.
The goddesses began running towards the cobras as they shot some of the liquid at them.
However with a bright flash they transformed into their CPU forms and slashed the liquid away before dashing towards the cobra's
"Take that you bastards!" White Heart yelled, as she began swinging her axe towards the Cobra.
The cobra moved out of the way however before lunging forward in an attempt to bite the Goddess.
Raising her weapon to block the attack with her axe, she then followed this with a kick on the Cobras back before she flew to the tail and grabbed it.
"DIE YOU BASTARD!" she yelled, and then swung it around and slammed it onto the ground.
The other Cobra spat several balls of liquid towards Black Heart who slashed them back.
"Take this!" Black Heart yelled, as she dodged the liquid before swinging her sword at the Cobra however it slithered around her.
"What!" Black Heart yelled, as the Cobra quickly coiled around Black Heart tightly trying to crush her.
"Gah!" Black Heart yelled, as it constricted tighter. It was about to bite into her, however Purple Heart crashed into the head of the snake.
This gave Black Heart the chance to free herself as the goddesses flew up next to each other.
"Hmph, don't you dare expect a thank you from me for that, Neptune" Black Heart scoffed as Purple Heart smirked.
"Wasn't expecting one" she smirked, as the two rushed towards the other two Cobra's.
Meanwhile Queen Ophiuca was watching the battle from on top of the wave road, crossing her arms while examining the Goddesses
"Hmm, those Goddesses are stronger than I thought but not like they'll be able to stop my hunt" she said, looking around "Now where is Rockman…”
"Shock note!"
Suddenly several energy notes shot towards Queen Ophiuca as she moved out of the way.
"Huh? Who would dare" Queen Ophiuca questioned, looking up to see Lyra Note on another wave road, with two speakers next to her.
"Look out people, the hero of love and peace has arrived!" Lyra Note declared
Ophiuchus Queen snarled, "I don't believe this! You've turned your back on us as well, Lyra?!"
"Oh?" Lyra remarked, "And so what if I am?"
"Have it your way then, I'll have to make you my prey as well! Quick Serpent!" The snake woman hissed as she lunged at Lyra glowing as an energy barrier encased her.
In response Lyra strummed her guitar sending some energy notes towards the FM-Ian warrior, however her attacks only bounced off of Ophiuca's body.
She then rammed into Lyra Note's body knocking her down onto the lower wave roads.
Lyra Note then got back up as the two continued battling.
Meanwhile in the bathrooms
We see Nepgear and Uni looking through the concert hall, as they try to help people get away.
"Is that all of them?" Nepgear asked, as they looked around both their weapons at the ready just in case the snake goes after them.
"Yeah, I think that's all of them," Uni noddd, before she started hearing something.
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!".
"Wait I think I hear someone" Uni blinked , following the voice as Nepgear hurried the two, recognising the voice.
When they walked over they saw Ryu on the floor outside of the bathroom.
"Ryu!" The two gasped, running up to the boy.
"He's hurt, I'll bring him somewhere safe" Nepgear said, looking over to her best friend "Uni, could you keep looking for anyone else?"
"Okay" Uni nodded, getting up and running off as Nepgear helped to bring Ryu somewhere safe.
"Wait…Who was that other voice?" She questioned, walking back so she can ask Ryu about it when he woke up.
"Ugh" Ryu groaned, as he slowly opened his eyes "What happened?”
"Ryu! Good you're okay" Nepgear said, as she helped the boy onto a seat "Uni and I found you outside of the bathroom.”
"What's going on?" Ryu asked, looking up.
"An FM-Ian showed up and summoned gigantic cobras that started attacking people. Big Sis and the others are fighting them right now, but what happened to you?”
"It was Ohpiuca, she EM wave changed with that Luna girl and knocked Ryu out" Omega-xis explained, from Ryu's Transer.
"If Luna's in trouble then I need to help her," Ryu stuttered, forcing himself back up.
"Are you sure? You're still hurt" Nepgear asked worriedly but Ryu just gave her a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm alright now" he said, before he lifted up his Transer.
"Em wave change! Ryu Stelar! On air!" He yelled, as the Transer glowed before Omega-xis came out and circled his body.
Omega-xis then hugged Ryu's body before turning into a tornado of green flames and when they dissipated he was now in his Rockman form.
"Good luck" Nepgear told him with Ryu giving her a thumbs up before he changed frequency and flew towards the wave road.
However from around the corner we see Uni looking at this from around the corner.
"No way…Ryu… is Rockman?!"
Meanwhile outside
As the goddesses continued their battle against the Cobra's, Lyra Note was still battling against Queen Ophiucha.
"Gorgon eyes!" She yelled, as Queen Ophiuca blasted at Lyra Note with her Laser eyes knocking the Idol back.
"Woah!" Lyra yelled, as she fell off the Wave road but luckily she was able to grab on to the edge.
"You okay Aika" Lyra asked, as Lyra Note tried to pull herself back up "Yeah, I'm okay".
"Now it's time to end this!" Queen Ophiuca said "QUICK SERPENT!"
As she dashed towards Lyra Note, suddenly a powerful blast hit her, knocking her back.
"Who dares!" Queen Ophiuca growled as she looked up to see Rockman there with his cannon arm.
"You…" Queen Ophiuca growled, looking down.
"You okay, Lyra Note?" Rockman asked, as Omega-xis returned to normal.
"Yeah, thanks for that she's tougher than she looks" Lyra Note smiled, getting helped back up by Rockman.
"So we're dealing with Ophiuca now Huh?" Omega-xis said, as Lyra sighed "Yeah, this is going to tough",
"That's Luna, Ophiuca fused with her," Rockman said, as Lyra Note looked over to her.
"What, you've gotta be kidding me" Lyra Note gawked.
"You…" Queen Ophiucha muttered, as Rockman and Lyra Note got ready to fight.
However Ophiuca then looked up revealing her face was blushing, bright red and a large grin on her face "YOU'RE ROCKMAN-SA~MA!"
"Wait…what?" All four of them said, at them.
"Hey! I'm in control here!" Ophiuca growled, before looking back up.
"Oh Rockman! You have no idea how long I've wanted to meet you!" She gushed, moving towards the two.
"Woah!" Rockman and Lyra Note yelped as they jumped onto a higher wave road.
"Hey Rockman! Don't run away, Gorgon eyes!" She cried, firing her Laser eyes at the Wave road under Rockman causing him to fall.
“NOW!” Queen Ophiuca then rushed in and coiled around Rockman's body.
“Gah!" Rockman cringed, as his lower half was being crushed by the tail.
"Ah now you're finally all mine!" she grinned, holding Rockman’s face which was in pain “Hmm, but you still look uncomfortable…I know~!”
Queen Ophiucha then proceeded to push Rockman's head into her chest and hug him tightly as he struggled to break free.
"Hey! Leave him alone! Pulse song!" Lyra Note sang, sending the energy notes towards Ophiuca Queen.
"Hmph!" She huffed, moving out of the way.
"Why won't you leave us alone! Snake legion!" She yelled, sending a hoard of differently colored snakes at Lyra Note.
“WAH!” Lyra Note blinked, getting pushed back by the hoard of snakes.
"Now with that done, we can be all alone~" she grinned, rubbing Rockman’s head as he moved back to get some air.
"L-Let me go!" he grunted but this only made Queen Ophiucha pout.
“Why do you have to be such a meanie Rockman, don't you see I just want to show you my love!" she said, before getting an idea as she lifted up Rockman's head forcing their eyes to meet "I know, how about you look into my eyes.”
Queen Ophiucha's eyes began glowing in a colorful pattern as she forced Rockman to watch them.
"No, I-uuuuhhhh" Rockman slurred, his eyes following the pattern while his body lost the strength to resist.
“Huh?!” Omega-xis questioned, looking over at Rockman "Hey kid! What are you doing!".
Meanwhile we see Purple Heart, Black Heart and White Heart still fighting the cobra's.
"Sha!" A cobra roared, as it tried to bite into Purple Heart but she moved out of the way before flying back towards the monster.
"Take this! Cross Combination!" Purple Heart yelled, as she slashed the Cobra in half turning it into pixels before dissolving.
She then turned over and saw Black Heart and White Heart still fighting their Cobras.
"You guys handle these snakes, I'll try and find the FM-Ian" Purple Heart told them before flying towards the roof.
Ophiucha then looked down and frowned, taking back control of her body "Those goddesses are running my plan… Hmm I know!"
"How about you go and take care of those Goddesses?" she said, looking down at her love while uncoiling around Rockman.
"Yes… my Queen…" he muttered soullessly, clearly under her control..
"Oi! Ryu! Snap out of it!" Omega-xis growled, as the two changed frequency.
Purple Heart flew up to the top of the concert only to be met with Rockman landing in the top of the building.
"Rockman? You're here too… heh, seems like you always show up when we're in a pinch" she smirked, while Rockman walked towards her.
"Quick! You have to stop him!" Omega-xis yelled, confusing her.
"Huh? What do you- what!". She gasped barely dodging a kick Rockman threw at the Goddess
He then spun around and sent a series of fast punches towards the goddess who had to dodge them "What are you doing!".
"It was Ophiuca! He put him under some kind of mind control" Omega-xis told her, as Purple Heart flew back.
“That trope huh? What should I do to break him out of it?” Purple Heat asked, dodging Rockman’s attacks
"Get me up close and I might be able to blast him awake.”
“Alright, I’m definitely gonna snap you out of this!” She tried grabbing Rockman however he easily jumped over her before kicking her back forcing her to dodge out of the way.
"Ah! Rockman's so cool!" Queen Ophiucha smiled, watching him in action before they then swapped again. "Good, just need to wait for the two to defeat each other"
"Hey!" She heard, looking over to see Lyra Note with all the snakes tied up with her quick string.
"Grr! Why can't you just leave us alone! Rockman's mine you hear!" Queen Ophiucha growled, taking control again.
"What's up with her?" Lyra Note asked, as Lyra looked at her.
"The wave change must not be complete? Ophiucha must've forced the transformation on her" Lyra explained.
"Take this! Gorgon eyes!" Queen Ophiuca said, shooting the Lazer at Lyra Note as she jumped out of the way.
"Hey! what’s your problem with me anyway" Lyra Note said, as she sent a pulse song at Queen Ophiuca causing her to move out of the way.
"You! You're always acting all lovey dovey with Rockman! He's mine, not yours, mine!" she screeched, shooting lasers at her.
"Luna must've had a crush on Rockman, and transforming caused her emotions to go crazy" Lyra guessed, as Lyra Note dodged the attack "Then we gotta separate the two soon before they destroy everything".
"Listen here you brat I'm in control!" Ophiucha growled, as the two tried to fight for control.
Meanwhile we see Purple Heart still fighting against the mind controlled Rockman as he sends a series of kicks towards the goddess.
Purple Heart dodged the attack before with the back of her sword tripping Rock,and causing him to fall.
Before he did however she grabbed him and lifted the boy up into the air keeping from moving "Quickly! Do what you were going to do!".
"Right" Omega-xis moving up Ryu's arm to his face as he charged up energy before blasting right at Ryu's face.
"Huh? Wha-?!" Rockman blinked, looking around "What happened, why am I here?"
"Good you're okay" Purple Heart sighed, as she gently placed Rockman onto the ground "The FM-Ian took control of you and had you attack me".
"Oh sorry about that, Lady Purple Heart" Rockman apologised, which made Purple Heart smile.
"Don't worry about it" she told him, as Rockman nodded before looking up to the wave road and changing his frequency to get to it.
As Purple Heart watched him disappear again, White Heart and Black Heart flew up behind her after defeating the Cobras.
"What do you think you’re doing Neptune? You should've captured him" White Heart frowned, placing her hands on her hips
"Yeah, why didn't you try questioning him? He's a threat" Black Heart told her, crossing her arms.
"No… after all this time I think we can agree that he's not a threat" Purple Heart smiled, looking back at her fellow goddesses.
Meanwhile we see Lyra Note jumping from wave road to wave road as Queen Ophiucha shot lasers at her.
"Leave her alone!” Rockman yelled, as he landed on the wave road much to the surprise of everyone.
"You're okay, thank goodness” Lyra Note smiled, landing next to Rockman.
"Damn it! He broke free" Ophiucha growled, before switching control again.
"Aw come on he was finally mine!" Queen Ophiucha pouted, before dashing towards Rockman "Fine, I'll just do it again!".
"Not this time! Quick String!" Lyra Note yelled, sending the energy strings which wrapped around Queen Ophiucha's body.
"What no! Why do you have to always butt in!" Queen Ophiucha growled, breaking free as she was about to attack Lyra Note.
"Oh no you don't! Battle Card Predation! Plasma Gun!" Rockman called, as he transformed Omega-is into the plasma gun before firing, knocking Ophiuchus Queen back.
"Why do you have to be so mean, Rockman!? Don't you see I totally adore you" she cried, making Rockman blush.
"S-Shut up! You brainwashed me!" He yelled.
"Quick string!" Lyra Note said, sending the energy string which once again wrapped around Queen Ophiucha's body "Quick finish it now Rockman!".
"Right" Rockman nodded, as he pulled out a card before having Omega-xis eat the card.
"BATTLE CARD PREDATION! FIRE BAZOOKA!" He yelled, as Omega-xis turned into a volcano gun which he fired a powerful fire blast withwhich engulfed Queen Ophiucha.
"Noooooooooooooooooooo!" She said, as the two split apart.
"Damn it! Omega-xis! Lyra! I'll be back" Ophiucha yelled as she flew off while Rockman caught Luna's body.
Rockman and Lyra Note then changed their frequency and went back to the physical world.
One hour later
Ryu P.O.V.
After everything settled down, with everyone who was turned to stone healed, the concert was cancelled with everyone being invited to come back for the re-try of the concert when it happens.
Apparently Vert had invited us to a party after the concert but Luna was too tired after Ophiucha fused with her, luckily her mother was staying in Leanbox so she was going to stay with her.
"Sorry that everything went wrong today Luna" I said, as we said goodbye as her limousine waited behind her.
"Hmph, not like it was your fault" she said, turning around and I nodded "Yeah, guess you’re right".
"But…I wouldn't mind going to one again with you…" she whispered, a bit of red on her cheeks but I didn't catch what she said.
"What was that?" I asked, making her blush brightly.
"S-Shut up, idiot!" she yelled, going into the limousine before slamming the door as it drove off
"W-What was that about?" I said, confused as Neptune walked up.
"Ah Ryu, so oblivious, Ah, to be young" Neptune said, shaking her head.
"Can we go now, I wanna know why Vert never showed up at the concert" Noire said, as the others nodded and we started heading towards Lady Green Heart's Basilicom.
Wave world
Third person P.O.V.
We see Ophiucha weekly going through the wave world as she grips her wound "Damn that Omega-xis, he got lucky this time".
"Seems like even you were defeated by that Rockman, Ophiucha" she heard, turning around to see Cygnus wing behind her.
"What do you want from Cygnus?" She asked, as Cygnus wing smirked, "Oh nothing, just I have made a plan that'll let us take care of both the goddesses of this world and Rockman".
"Really? And what kind of plan is that?" she asked, as Cygnus wing smirked "Just follow me".
Ophiucha reluctantly agreed, as the two turned into energy and flew off to a distant island outside of Leanbox.
Chapter 14: Secrets Revealed
Chapter Text
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
On the coast of the nation known as Leanbox, in the Zune district, we see a deserted island which was used for waste and on the island was a building, with several lines of colourful energy going into the building.
Inside the building we see Tom Dubias being controlled by Cygnus who stood before the other FM-Ian's with a tall, tube-like machine standing behind him.
The FM-Ian's theres included Taurus, Wolf, Blues, Crown, Cancer, Libra and Ophiucha.
On the floor of the room was a large circle with pictures of each of the constellations they were based on, on it.
"Greetings everyone, it has been awhile since all of us have been together since we were sent on this mission" Cygnus greeted, with a smirk "And you may be wondering why I asked for you all here.”
“That’s right! Why the hell did you call us all the way out here!” Wolf growled, glaring at Cygnus.
"Well you see the main problem we have had up until now was that we need a body to access our full power," Cygnus explained. "However, I have managed to fix that problem with an experiment I have been conducting that may prove very useful to us."
"An experiment? What's that meant to mean" Taurus asked, with a confused tone.
"Now now my dear companion" Cygnus said, as he walked up to the console. "You see I have recently discovered that this human species radiates a special energy known as Share Energy which we have absorbed through our EM wave change. With that energy I have discovered something very interesting. Now, Cancer, can you move over your sign please?"
"Hm?" Cancer blinked, moving over to where Cygnus directed, "What is this supposed to be about 'buku?"
"Oh don't worry about it, just sit tight and watch the show" Cygnus smirked, turning the machine on as it sent a purple light over Cancer's body.
The light covered Cancer's body before forming into a purple energy tornado.
“The hell?” Blues frowned, watching the tornado before it dispersed making his eyes widen “No way!”
When the energy dissipated it revealed Cancer now in his Cancer Bubble form " Ahhh! I'm in my EM Wave Change 'buku!"
"Impossible! He materialized!" Ophiuchus gasped, for as long as they knew they needed a being of similar wave length to materialise, how was this possible.
"Meet the Electromagnetic Materialiser, a machine which combines the share energy with the em waves to replicate a human body which we combine with, it also allows us to take on a human disguise of our specifications" he said, "It was the idea of the brilliant human I am inhabiting's".
"That's amazing!" Wolf shouted eagerly, as his tail wagged quickly "Hurry up and do me next!"
"Down boy, there is still more," Cygnus said, as he reverted Cancer Bubble back to normal "Share energy is finite, it'll need to recharge in time so you all can only stay materialised for 1 hour, if you wish to make this a permanent change then you must do what I say".
"What! Who put you in charge!" Taurus roared.
"Yeah, besides how do you even plan on making this change permanent!" Crown yelled.
“That is where my business partner comes in" Cygnus told them, as a woman walked through the hallway.
It was a woman whose clothes had a clear witch appearance. She has very pale skin, almost appearing to be a pale light purple. Her hair is also a light shade of purple, being styled in a short haircut with one long bang to the side. Her apparel consists of a black witch hat with thorns circling it with two different shaded purple flowers on them, and feathers sticking off to the side. Her outfit itself is a black one piece with purple stripes along the cuffs and torso area.
"Greetings aliens, I am Arfoire" she said, confusing the FM-Ian's.
"A human?" The FM-Ian's asked, confused, "What is a human doing here".
"Hmph, don't compare me to those inferior species, I am something much more" she said.
“No way,,, It's Arfoire” Blues muttered, shocked as Scorpio looked at her.
"You know her Aniki?” Scorpio asked, looking up at him.
“She's the leader of the terrorist group called ASIC, I didn't think she was actually real though…” Blues explained.
"You see me and Arfoire have been working on a plan to fix our little issue" Cygnus explained “If you would please explain, Arfoire.”
"Of course, you see, the goddesses of this world also draw their energy from the share energy of the world which means if we can capture them then they'll you'll be able to do your little 'wave change trick' as much as you want, and with this" she said, lifting up a red x-shaped crystal "We should be able to capture them"
"Okay, but what do you want from us?" Libra asked, as Arfoire smirked.
"It's simple, I want control of Gamindustri after you defeat the goddesses, as well as a share of the energy drained from them".
"So any other questions?" Cygnus asked, and the other FM-Ian's needed no more convincing.
One by one, each of them morphed into their EM Wave Change forms and prepared for battle.
Leanbox Bascilicom
Third person P.O.V.
We see the group of ten walking through the Leanbox Basilicon after the concert and the whole FM-Ian attack.
"It's all well and good that she invited us to the concert, but what's with Vert not showing up?" Noire pointed out. "She didn't even arrive when the FM-Ian attacked".
"I'm sure she has her reasons," Blanc muttered, following behind.
As this was going on Neptune, Ram, and Rom were trying to open each door in the hallway, but most of them were locked.
One door wasn't, however, and Neptune opened it to find video game boxes, unopened figurines, and Yaoi posters littered around the place.
"H-Huh, didn't think I'd see a room messier then Neptune" Ryu said, with a sweatdrop "Geez, I guess all goddesses here don't act like they should" Omega-xis whispered, forcing Ryu to shush him.
"Hmph, maybe Vert's actually just a slob" Noire smirked smugly as they walked around the room.
"Ooh! Look, this is a game that can only be bought by those over eighteen years of age!" Neptune exclaimed, much to IF's surprise.
"Hey Nep! we've got impressionable kids here!" IF yelled, pulling her arms.
"Ah Geez, you're no fun Iffy" Neptune pouted, before noticing a small light in another room "Huh?"
"Oh come on! Ugh fine I'll cover you" They heard and when they entered the room, they were met with Vert playing a game called 'Four Goddesses Online' on her computer.
"Hey! That's what you were doing!" Neptune gawked, grabbing her attention.
"Oh my, welcome!" Vert greeted, "Sorry, I'm a little tied up right now."
"Hold it! Why did you ditch us to play games!?" Noire asked "You even missed another FM-Ian attack, which we had to take care of by the way!”
"Oh well you see, I thought I'd just play for an hour before leaving, but my faction ended up laying siege to the enemy. I couldn't just leave." Vert explained, awkwardly. "Although I do thank you for defending my nation".
"I thought you mentioned you were going to throw a party for us here after the concert," Blanc reminded the Goddess.
"We're right about to topple their castle, so if you could wait just a little bit longer..." Vert pleaded, as they all agreed and left her alone.
"Now what? Looks like we'll be waiting a bit longer," IF asked, crossing her arms
"Hmm…" Noire hummed, thinking it over before smirking.
A few minutes later we see Noire now dressed up in a maid cosplay as she looks at the rest of the group.
"Woah, Noire I didn't think you could pull the maid look so well, could you be trying to be a cosplay CpU?" Neptune asked, making Noire blush.
"WHAT! O-Of course I-I wouldn't! H-How dare you put me in the same group as those unfashionable nerds!" Noire said, turning her head.
"Uuhhh, well actually…" Ryu was about to say, but then Noire gave him one of the greatest Death glares he had ever seen “N-Nevermnd…”
"Now then, let's start getting ready for this party," Noire nodded “I’ve got jobs for ever single one of you!”
"What! Come on can't we just laze around and do nothing" Neptune whined, as Noire glared at her.
"Quit whining. We've come all the way to Leanbox, so let's make it a party worth the trip" she said, before turning to Ryu, Nepgear, IF and Compa.
"Okay first off, Ryu, Nepgear, IF and Compa. You three go and get the ingredients we need" she said, as they nodded "As for the rest of us, let's clean this place up!"
Leanbox Mall
Ryu P.O.V.
When the four of us made it to the near Leanbox mall we had all decided to split up.
IF had gone to go and get some drinks, while Compa had left to get some of the ingredients for the food.
Finally Me and Nepgear were sent to go and get some deserts or some ingredients for dessert.
"Hmm, what should we get?" Nepgear muttered, looking at the ingredients for cooking. "Oh I know! How about some cake?"
"Yeah, that sounds good," I nodded. "Speaking of which, don't forget to get Neptune's pudding".
"Right," she nodded, as we picked up ingredients for Cake and Pudding.
"Ugh, why are you taking so long, I want some of the food now!" Omega-xis yelled, as I opened up my Transer.
"Stop being so childish Omega-xis! We need to get the ingredients and it'll probably take a while to make the food" I told him.
"Yeah, so can't you just wait a little bit longer?" Nepgear asked, as Omega-xis grumbled.
"Fine, whatever. So you better hurry up" he scoffed, making me sigh as I closed the transer.
"Oh hey um Ryu, could you get some milk? We need it for the deserts" she asked.
“Sure thing” I nodded, before turning around and leaving Nepgear so I could get to the milk aisle.
After a few minutes of walking I finally found the milk aisle where I saw the girl I had helped after she had dropped all her flyers, I think her name was Rei Ryghts.
She was currently climbing up the isle so that she could reach for what was on the top of the isle.
"Come on! Come on!" She said, trying to reach some of the products on the top of the aisle.
"Almost… Ah!" She yelped, as she slipped off causing some of the products to shake before falling on top of her.
"Ow… that did not go well" she cried, as I ran up to her.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked, picking up the products to get them off of her.
"T-Thank you…" she said, reaching for her fallen glasses before placing them back on her face and blinking a few times.
"Oh! It's you again" she said, moving back up "Um, Ryu right? What are you doing here?”
"Well a friend invited us here for a party, but she forgot about it so now we need to get the ingredients to make some food for the party, what about you?".
"Um… I kind of got a new job here…" she said, uncertainly.
"Congratulations! That's great" I smiled, but she just looked down.
"It's… not that great no one really listens to me even though I'm meant to be the leader of the group.”
"Well… don't worry I'm sure you'll get them listening to you soon, you just need to get them a reason to listen to you" I assured her with a smile.
"Thanks Ryu… needed that" she smiled, as she picked up the fallen item.
We then said our goodbyes before separating as I picked up the milk and headed back to Nepgear so we could continue shopping.
Leanbox Bascilicom
Third person P.O.V.
Meanwhile we see that everyone else we're still working on cleaning the Bascilicom… yeah right, Nah they were mostly doing their own thing.
"Come on! Come on! This is going to be so good~" Neptune smiled, as she slowly placed the 18 rated game's disk into the console .She was about to push in but then a brush smacked her hand "Ow!".
She looked up and saw Noire glaring at her "What do you think you're doing?".
"Oh uh, just taking a break from all the work I've done" she explained but Noire still glared down at her.
"Oh yeah? What work?”
"…OKAY! Fine!" Neptune grumbled, getting back up to start cleaning up as Noire gained an amused smirk.
Meanwhile we see Rom and Ram were on the floor drawing on some of Vert's books.
As they did this Blanc was up close to her book shelf and was looking through the books when she noticed one in particular.
'Ninja's of love Huh?' She thought, opening the book and flipping through some of the pages until she made it to one of the pictures of the book making her face turn bright red so she quickly slammed the book shut confusing her sisters.
"What's wrong big Sis?" Ram asked, as Blanc looked down.
"N-Nothing" she stuttered, putting the book away 'T-That was a very big katana…'.
We then see Vert playing her games, incredibly focused as her and her guild planned for what to do "Okay, so everyone got your items ready? Azure, go buy more healing items don't worry I'll play you back later and- wait! Leroy! What are you doing! Stop! Quickly follow him!"
We then see Uni putting back up a figurine on it's shelf before accidentally knocking one down, breaking off its limbs making her eyes widen.
"Oh crap!" she yelped, as she quickly put the figurine back together haphazardly "Okay… that looks good"
Putting the figure back up to reveal that all the limbs were in the wrong place.
As she looked at the figure she flashed back to what happened earlier that day.
Flashback
We see Uni walking back down the hall of the concert while it was still under attack by Queen Ophiucha.
'If Ryu was still unconscious then who was the voice I heard?' she thought, when she reached the corner.
"What's going on?" Uni heard, as she looked over to see Ryu talking to Nepgear.
"An FM-Ian showed up and summoned gigantic Cobra's that started attacking people! Big Sis and the others are fighting them right now, but what happened to you?".
'Oh It's just Ryu' she thought, about to walk over but then.
"It was Ophiuca, she EM wave changed with that Luna girl and knocked Ryu out" she heard, quickly hiding.
'Who was that?'.
"If Luna's in trouble then I need to help her," Ryu said, standing back up with a determined look on his face.
'What? What is he going to do?' She thought.
"Are you sure? You're still hurt" Nepgear said, as Ryu smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm alright now" he said, before he lifted up his Transer 'What is he doing'.
"Em Wave change! Ryu Stelar! On air!" He yelled, as the Transer glowed before Omega-xis came out and circled his body.
"What! A monster!" She gasped, still watching what was going.
Omega-xis then hugged Ryu's body before turning into a tornado of green flames "It… can't be…".
When the flames dissipated Ryu was now in his Rockman form.
"Good luck" Nepgear told him with Ryu giving her a thumbs up before he changed frequency and flew towards the wave road.
"No way…Ryu…is Rockman?!" She gasped, shock clear in her face
Flashback end
"I can't believe Ryu was Rockman all this time…" Uni whispered, looking down "How long has he been Rockman for… who was that monster… why did Nepgear know…and not tell anyone…does Neptune know as well?”.
Uni then shook her head, deciding to figure all of this out when they came back.
Leanbox
Third person P.O.V.
We see that Compa was heading back to the basilicom after buying the groceries. "I guess Iffy, Ge-ge and Ryu haven't finished getting everything yet".
She peeked inside the bag, making sure she had gotten everything that was needed before leaving the mall.
She then let out a yelp as something bumped into her, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Owie…" Compa cringed, looking up to see a small black mouse monster rubbing his head, this was Warechu.
"Ow...my head!" Warechu cried, rubbing his head with his paw, he then looked up to glare at the person who he bumped into. "Hey, you got some nerve not looking where you're going! Can't you see I'm a mouse chu!...Eh?"
Warechu froze when he finally got a good look at the beauty known as Compa.'T-This feeling… what's happening!'
"Oh my, are you alright Mister Mouse?" Compa asked, moving up close to the small mouse to get a look of concern on her face.
Warechu couldn't help but blush as he took a quick glance at the girl's body before looking back up "Huh, oh yeah I'm ow!"
"Oh dear! Are you okay" she gasped, quickly taking his arm.
"W-What are you doing?" he asked, still in pain.
"I'm just patching you up" Compa told him, wrapping some bandages around his arm but as she did a faint pink glow came from her hands which caused the pain in Warechu's arm to go down a bit.
"You're an angel~ Can you at least tell me your name?" the mouse asked shyly.
"My name? It's Compa" she answered, making the small mouse smile.
"Compa...such a beautiful name for a beautiful angel like you!"
"Okay, looks we got enough" Ryu nodded, as he and Nepgear walked towards Compa each holding a paper bag of ingredients.
Ryu was planning on making some fried tempura and chicken while Nepgear bought many types of fruits to make some desserts with.
"Hehe, man if what you said is right this fried chicken is sounding good" Omega-xis grinned, whipping off some drool making the two giggle, however Nepgear glanced down at an X-shaped crystal on the ground.
"Huh… what's that?" she said, crouching down and picking up the Crystal but when she did, she suddenly felt as if her whole body had gone numb, having trouble staying standing she fell towards the ground dropping her bag.
"NEPGEAR!" Ryu gasped, catching her before she could fall to the ground, Nepgear's body twitching while her eyes were dull "Nepgear! Come on, wake up!".
"The hell is going on! She looks passed out." Omega-xis questioned.
"I-I don't know she's never done this before" Ryu told him.
"Huh?" Compa and Warechu blinked as they looked up to see Ryu holding Nepgear's body while shaking her.
"Hey! Let go of that!" Warechu cried, noticing the Crystal in Nepgear's hands before snagging the crystal from Nepgear's person.
As he ran off Nepgear blinked, as if she woke up from a deep sleep "What just happened?"
"Thank goodness you're okay," Ryu said with a sigh of relief.
“Huh?” She blinked, before looking at the way Ryu was holding her making her face go bright red.
“EEP!” She yelled, quickly jumping off of him and onto her knees.
"Ge-Ge, are you alright?" Compa asked, running up to the two.
"I-I don't know, I just suddenly felt dizzy and everything went numb" Nepgear explained., as Compa checked her.
"You look really pale...I think it might be anemia. Though I've never heard of anemia happening to a goddess before." she said softly, a look of worry on her face.
"Hey, are you guys okay? Gear doesn't look so good." IF said, kneeling down next to her friend.
"Yeah I'm alright now, I just suddenly felt like everything went numb like all my energy was zapped out of me" Nepgear explained, looking down.
Ryu looked back to see if he could find the mouse guy 'What was that Crystal he took from Nepgear… and why did it do that to her?'
Meanwhile we see Warechu running into an alleyway, as he takes a deep breath.
"That was a close one, never thought I'd run into one of the CPU Candidates. That aside," he paused, before blushing "That Compa now she was an angel, a total goddess!".
Warechu then shook his head before looking up "Now isn't the time, I gotta go and bring the Crystal to the old hag and those freaky aliens"
Leanbox Bascilicom
Third person P.O.V.
We now see the whole group in the dining room as Vert stood in front of the prepared food.
"Thank you all for coming, sorry for the wait...the castle raid took a lot longer than I thought" she said, before looking to the side with an evil glint in her eyes.
'I swear to you… Leroy Jenkins… I will get my revenge one of these days'
"Also thank you ever so much for cleaning up the room, I haven't had the time as of late" Vert said, with an awkward smile.
Among the group Neptune turned over to her sister with a look of concern "Hey, I heard you got dizzy earlier. Are you okay?"
"Oh yeah, don't worry I feel fine now" Nepgear assured her older sister.
"So why did you set up this party anyway?" Noire asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Well the reason why should be here any minute now" she smiled, and as if on que the doors opened up.
"Excuse me Lady Green Heart, you wanted to see the prototype" they heard, as they looked over to see Ryu's uncle, Aaron Stelar holding on to a camera-like device and a controller.
"Eh?! Uncle Aaron!" Ryu gasped, surprised as he ran up to his uncle as the man smiled "Well if it ain't Ryu? How's life been with you living with the goddesses and all?".
"Hey Nepgear, who's the old guy?" Ram asked, pulling the older Candidates sleeve.
"That Ryu's uncle, he's a really amazing scientist who works at Amaken" she whispered back to her.
"So shall we show off our project now?" Vert asked, as Aaron nodded.
"Yup, sure thing" he said, setting it up “You guys are gonna love this.”
"This is the known as the Manect, a new device we have been designing which allows us to convert EM waves into physical objects” Vert explained “This will allow us to replicate games in reality allowing people to truly immerse themselves into their game, it is also able to be used for training and you can even use to search the web. Though it only works in enclosed spaces or special areas for now.”
"And yup, it's all set up Lady green heart" Aaron told the Goddess as he stood back up
"Perfect, now then Neptune, Noire and… Ryu. Could you three step up for a moment" she requested, making the three blink.
"Sure thing" "Ooh definitely!" "Huh? Why".
We next see the three step up as Vert gave a nod to Aaron who pressed a button on the controller which caused the Manect to flash, sending out EM waves that covered the room as everyone watched in awe as the entire room was turned into a beautiful sunny forest.
All around them, tall trees spanned the skies and a soft breeze was blowing, ruffling their clothes slightly.
"So cool!" “Wow! It’s like magic!” Rom and Ram cheered, at the same time.
Everyone looked around the digital forest with awe only for Compa to blink in surprise "Huh? Look at Nep-Nep.”
Looking over, everyone gasped when they saw that Neptune, Noire and Ryu were transformed into Dogoo's.
"Woah! I'm a Dogoo!" Neptune blinked, her Dogoo form was lilac and had her pink messy hair with her + accessories.
"So weird! My body feels so light" Ryu jumped as he tried to get used to his new body, his Dogoo form was brown colored with his brown messy hair and a pair of green visualisers.
"This can't be happening," Noire shuddered, with dismay as she looked at her black body with her twin tails and blue ribbons.
"This camera captures your expressions and movements and then holo projects them as different pictures. It then uses the EM waves to turn you into those forms.”
"So we just gotta use our lame armless goo body to attack Huh?" Neptune nodded, before smirking as she looked back at Ryu and Noire.
"Okay Nowa-goo! Ryu-goo! Imma Neo you so hard until you're black and blue" Neptune grinned confidently.
"Huh? Who are you calling Nowa-Gah!" Noire tried to say, as Neptune rammed into Noire's body.
She then rammed into Ryu knocking him down the hill "Geez Neptune, what was that for".
"That's it you little slime! Say your prayers Nep-goo!" Noire yelled, jumping towards Neptune who just moved out of the way causing Noire to fall.
"Hahahahaha! You can't get me!" Neptune said, not noticing Ryu behind her as he shoved Neptune making her fall down the hill. "Hey! The heck was that for!"
"Hehehe, shouldn't have gotten so cocky Nepgoo!” Ryu grinned.
"This technology will also allow us to more accurately practice in combat, teach the students up and personal and be able to talk to others in specially designed areas".
"Wow so cool" Nepgear smiled, as Ram raised her hand " I wanna play too!".
"Of course, go right ahead," Vert nodded with a smile, as the camera turned everyone else into monsters.
A few hours later
As everyone was having their fun playing around with the Manect, one of the Leanbox servants suddenly knocked on the door.
"What now? Can't you see we're in the middle of a party" Vert asked, as the man moved up close and whispered into her ear.
Noire noticed this and decided to turn off the Manect, returning everyone back to normal.
"Hey! The party's over already" Neptune whined, as Noire turned to Vert.
"What's wrong?" Noir asked, a serious look on her face.
"Well, I've gotten a report that a lot of monsters showed up in a waste disposal plant in the Zune district." She answered.
"Oh that doesn't sound good" Aaron gulped, as Neptune turned her head confused.
"Why is it such a big deal? Monsters show up all the time" Neptune asked, as Vert turned to her.
"This district is designed to eliminate any monsters that forms, so this shouldn't be possible" Vert explained, before standing up "Sorry to cut this party short, but I need to check this out"l
"Let me tag along!" Neptune grinned, hopping back up.
"I'm sorry but I can't, this is a problem for my own country to deal with." Vert told her but Neptune just snickered.
"C'mon, fate must have brought us here today. Let us help." Neptune smiled, as Noire turned to her
"Doing the whole 'we're all friends because we signed a treaty' thing again, are we?" Noire interjected which made Neptune giggle.
"Yup, you got that right." Neptune grinned, rubbing her head.
"I'll help too," Blanc offered, "I owe you one after you helped us during the kidnapping incident, after all."
"Okay then, the three of us–" Vert said, before Noire interrupted her.
"I-I'm coming too! Who knows how long you three would keep us waiting otherwise," Noire reluctantly said.
"Very well, let the four of us go," Vert finished, but then Nepgear walked up to the group.
"Um, I'll come too!" Nepgear said, with the other Candidates soon following her lead.
"You girls stay back, this isn't a game," Blanc advised, with Noire nodding.
"You too Uni, you can't even transform yet," Noire pointed out.
"Nepgear, leave this to your trusty ol' sis. I gotta show off once in a while!" Neptune reassured, patting her shoulder making the candidate nod "Okay."
"On that note... Access " With a bright flash, the four CPU's turned into their goddess forms and flew towards Zune district.
Ryu watched as they flew off before Omega-xis opened the Transer "Oi Ryu, we should follow them too, I got a bad feeling about this".
Ryu walked out of the room and tried to find a place where no one would find him but then.
"Where do you think you're going, Ryu?" he heard, making him jump before turning around to see Uni.
"Oh Uh, Uni just heading to the bathroom" he lied, but Uni didn't believe.
"No you're not" she stated while walking up to Ryu and began poking his chest "You're heading to Zune district to help the Big Sis and the others".
"Ain't that right, Rockman" she said, making Ryu's eyes widen.
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
"Is that Zune District there?" Black Heart asked, crossing her arms which earned a nod from Green Heart.
"Yes that's right...this island connects to the mainland only at low tides," Green Heart explained "It makes it a good hiding place for vagrants and thieves, it's also an area known for shady business deals."
"If there are people accessing this place, then why don't you have soldiers posted here?" Purple Heart asked, looking over at Green Heart which earned a chuckle from White Heart.
"I doubt she even has good soldiers capable of defending this place," White Heart smirked.
"Now now White Heart, I don't make fun of your army do I?" Green Heart asked, making White Heart roll her eyes.
"To answer your question Neptune, I did have an outpost here, but it became too dangerous for them to remain here." She explained "We've been monitoring the island, but we haven't seen human activity for awhile."
The goddesses flew down to the island, and looked around the area to see that there was nothing there.
"Strange… the monsters should've attacked us by now" Green heart said.
"Hmph, maybe your people just saw a rat and were too much of a pansy to deal with it" White Heart joked.
"It does seem quiet… almost too quiet…" Black heart said, readying her weapon.
"Seriously? That cliché line Noire" Purple Heart frowned, making Black Heart growl.
"S-Shut up! It's true isn't it!".
"Hmm, maybe it was a false alarm" Green heart muttered, but then they suddenly heard a familiar whistle echoing through the island.
“That tune…why does it sound so familiar…” Purple Heart questioned.
“Up there!” Green Heart gasped, as they all looked up to see Blues standing on one of the large towers.
“Yo, ladies. Nice to see ya again.” Blues smirked, with his arms crossed.
“Huh? Who’s that guys?” White Heart questioned with a raised eyebrow.
“That’s the guy Rockman was fighting back in Super Ninten Land” Purple Heart told.
“He also kidnapped Rom and Ram, as well as poisoning Nepgear and Uni” Green Heat frowned.
“To be fair that was a job and I tried to keep the kiddies away from that freak” Blues told them “So why don’t you get out of here before things get messy.”
“...So you were then one…THAT KIDNAPPED MY SISTERS!” White Heart screamed, dashing towards Blues.
“I got you Aniki!” Scorpio yelled, shooting his claws to grab White Heat to stop her allowing Blues to fire a Charge shot at her.
“Gah!” she yelled, falling back to the other.
“You guys better get ready, you’re back to fall into the Splash zone.” Blues smirked.
"W-What!" White Heart gasped, as all the goddesses looked up to see a gigantic tidal wave going straight for them.
The goddesses then flew up and moved out of the way, and caught a glance of cancer bubble who threw a wave at them.
"HEHEHEHE! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT YOU BUGS! BUKU!" Cancer Bubble boasted.
"Is that the monster?" Purple Heart wondered, but Green heart shook her head.
"No, it's an FM-Ian that attacked my nation a few weeks ago!" Green Heart frowned.
"I guess that's our target!" White Heart said, dashing towards Cancer Bubble but then Taurus Fire came in and crashed on top of her, forcing the two towards the ground.
"Your opponent is me!" Taurus fire yelled, jumping off of White Heart before crossing his arms.
" OX FIRE!" He roared, shooting a large fire blast towards White Heart who flew up to dodge the attack before darting downwards towards Taurus fire.
" Wide slash!" Wolf woods howled, rushing in and slashed her forcing the girl to block the attack before she rushed in to fight the two.
"I know the Wolf guy but who's the bull one?" Black Heart wondered, as Purple Heart looked to her.
"His name's Taurus fire, he attacked Ryu's school a few months ago" Purple Heart explained
"Teaming up on her is cowardice! You two get the crab. I'll help Blanc" Green Heart frowned, dashing towards White Heart to help her.
" Gorgon Eyes!" "Flame Scale!"
But then a Lazer and a flaming tornado was sent towards Green Heart forcing her to gracefully dodge out of the way and lok downwards, seeing Queen Ophiucha and Libra Scales below her
"That snake one… she's the one that attacked my nation!" She growled, dashing towards the two FM-Ian's.
As this was going on Black Heart and Purple Heart were flying towards Cancer Bubble who smirked.
"Take this! Water jet!" He said, shooting two jets of water Black Heart which pushed her back.
"What! What was that for!" Black Heart yelled angrily, as she dashed towards Cancer Bubble.
“Take this!” She yelled, raising her weapon to slash at Cancer Bubble when Crown thunder appeared in front of her “WHAT?!”
" Fall Thunder!" He yelled, sending a powerful electric current at the goddess shocking her.
"Gaaaahhh!" She screamed, her whole body getting shocked by the attack and falling down to the bastard.
“B-Bastards…” Black Heart growled, her body still sparking. She slowly got back up before flying towards the two FM-Ian's.
"Noire!" Purple Heart , about to help her fellow goddess but the. A charged shot went past her.
"Huh?" Purple Heart said, looking up to see Blues from below.
“Did you forget about me, my lady?” He smirked, looking up at her.
"Hmph" she said, as she dashed towards Blues and swung her sword but he blocked the attack with his shield before blasting her back.
The two then began fighting, as Purple Heart performed her cross combination while Blues dodged the attack before blasting the goddess who blocked the attack before slashing at him knocking him back.
We see Cygnus wing watching this going on while he was on the wave road "Seems like our guest of honour isn't here yet".
He said, before extending his wings before flying off to the Leanbox Basilicom.
Leanbox Bascilicom
Third person P.O.V.
We see Nepgear looking up at the night sky, on top of the Bascilicom's balcony.
"Big sis…" she mumbled, looking up at the moon as Rim walked up behind her.
"Miss Nepgear… are you okay?" Rom asked, walking up next to her.
"Huh? Oh yes I'm fine, thanks for asking" Nepgear smiled, before looking down "I'm just worrying about Big sis and the others".
"But why would you be worried? Is your sister weak Nepgear" Rom asked, but Nepgear shook her head.
"No, that's not it. When she gets serious she becomes really strong and since I'm the weak one she's always there when I need her to protect me" she smiled,as her hair blew in the wind "But today… something feels different, today I feel really uneasy for some reason.”
"You’re feeling uneasy?” Rom muttered, and Nepgear was about to continue when suddenly.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!".
"What's going on?" Nepgear asked, as the two walked into the building to see Uni shouting at Ryu.
"Uni calm down, what's going on?" IF asked, as Uni turned to the guild agent while pointing at Ryu.
"Back at the concert, I saw with my own eyes Ryu combining with some kind of monster and transforming into Rockman!" She declared shocking everyone in the room.
"W-What? No way! That dummy can't be Rockman, right Rom!" Ram yelled, turning to her Twin who was looking down.
"H-He was able to save us when we got kidnapped…" Rom mumbled, thinking about it surprising her twin.
"Ryu… is Rockman?" Compa blinked, confused while turning her head.
"Ryu… is this true?" Aaron asked, as the boy looked up at his uncle.
"W-What o-of course n-not, I-I can't f-fight" he denied, accidentally kicking the controller on the floor which turned on the Manect which sent out EM waves but it didn't change the room.
"You're lying! Ask Nepgear she knows too!" Uni yelled, pointing at Nepgear.
"Miss… Nepgear?" Rom asked, looking up at Nepgears shocked face.
“U-Um…I…um…” Nepgear stuttered, trying to find the right answers.
"Ryu… and Nepgear… are always hanging out together" IF realised as she looked down thinking about it "It… kind of makes sense…".
"I-I…" Nepgear said, stepping back on to the balcony but then she bumped into someone.
Nepgear slowly turned her head to see Tom Dubias behind her who smirked before an invisible force smacked Nepgear towards the barrier of the balcony.
"Miss Nepgear!" Rom gasped, as she, Ram and Compa checked on the candidate.
"T-Tom! Is that you" Aaron gasped, shocked as the man smirked and walked into the room.
Thanks to the EM waves released into the room, they were able to see Cygnus behind him.
" Em wave change…Tom Dubias… On air"
Cygnus grinned, covering Tom’s body which caused an energy tornado transforming him into Cygnus Wing.
He then spread his wings before dashing towards Ryu and picked him up by the neck on the wall.
"G-Gah!" Ryu choked, trying to break free of Cygnus Wings grasp.
"Well,well, looks like we meet again Omega-xis, Rockman" he grinned, moving up close.
"Why don't you transform, and I'll take you somewhere really fun" he smirked, licking his lips as Ryu kicked the aliens body trying to break free.
"Tom stop!" Aaron yelled, running towards the alien along with IF and Uni.
"Hmph!" Cygnus Wing scoffed, dropping Ryu as he kicked IF and Uni back causing them to crash into the wall.
He then turned to Aaron before he lifted him up by the neck and started chocking him "T-Tom… fight it… stop this…".
Ryu looked up and his eyes widen as he saw his uncle dying,
Moments of him with his parents flashed through his mind as he gripped his hands.
"OMEGA-XIS! SAVE HIM!" Ryu yelled, as Omega-xis materialised behind him.
"Got it!" Omega-xis roared, dashing towards Cygnus before punching him in the face sending him flying off the balcony.
Aaron was dropped on to the ground because of this as Ryu stood up.
"R-Ryu s-stop he's too dangerous" Aaron told him, but Ryu just looked down at his uncle.
"I'm sorry Uncle Aaron… for not telling you… for not telling anyone… but I have to do this" he said, as he placed his Visualisers on his face.
"Are you sure about this kid?" Omega-xis asked, as Ryu nodded, walking towards the balcony.
"Yeah… he's going to pay for hurting my family" he said, gripping his hand as he ran out to the balcony before jumping off the barrier into the air.
" EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!" Ryu screamed, as he began falling but then Omega-xis flew up behind him before hugging his body.
This caused a gigantic energy tornado to form which caught everyone in Leanbox's attention.
The tornado soon dissipated revealing Ryu in his Rockman form as he landed on the wave road.
He then looked up and saw Cygnus Wing flying up in front of him.
Cygnus Wing grinned evilly turning into energy and flying off with Ryu dashing after him.
The two lights battled each other throughout the night sky as they rushed towards Zune district.
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
Meanwhile back on the island we see the CPU's continuing to battle against the FM-Ian warriors.
White Heart was slashing wildly at Taurus Flame who could only block the attacks "Who would think one so small would be so strong".
"WHO YOU CALLING SMALL YOU BASTARD!" she screamed, kicking him back.
She then heard a howl as Wolf woods rushed in and slashed at her knocking her back.
White Heart then growled as she flipped around before readying her axe "TAKE THIS! TANZERIN TROMBE!"
Her axe then flowed with energy as she then proceeded to spin her axe knocking he FM-Ian's into each other.
She then flew upwards and then swung her axe down wards at the FM-Ian's which caused a small explosion destroying the FM-Ian's physical bodies.
"Take…that… bastards" she panted tiredly.
We then see Green Heart flying towards Libra scales and Queen Ophiucha as they fired blasts at her.
She used her spear to defeat the attacks but some of the attacks were still able to hit her.
"Now! Quick serpent!" "Libra Swing!" The two FM-Ian's said, as they flew towards Green Heart.
She gracefully dodged out of the way of their attacks as she readied her spear.
"Now's my chance! Rainy Raputura!" She said, jabbing her spear very quickly which stabbed through the FM-Ian's body causing them to explode.
"Hah… that's for attacking my nation…".
We then see Black Heart as she flies over Cancer bootleg boomerang claws.
"How do you like this then! Fall Thunder!" Crown Thunder said, sending a series of thunder bolts at Black Heart.
She then blocked the attacks before swinging her sword and started glaring down at the two FM-Ian's.
"This is it, Lace Ribbon Dance!" Black Heart cried, as she spun around and slashed crown thunder towards Cancer Crab.
The two were electrocuted before exploding, making Black Heart smirk "You shouldn't have challenged a goddess".
" Cross Combination!" Purple Heart yelled, swinging her sword several times at Blues who blocked the attacks with his shield.
“Why are you doing this! You’re the only one of them that’s human!” Purple Heart yelled, as Blues glared at her.
“Well, let’s just say I don’t have much of a choice!” he shot back while charging up his buster before aiming at Purple Heart.
"How do you like this!" He yelled, firing at the CPU knocking her back.
“Give me a go! Aniki!” Scorpio grinned, as Blues readied his shield before he shot his tail at the goddess who barely dodged it.
But then the tail wrapped around Purple Heart's body before she was thrown to the ground.
(End song)
"You seriously can't handle one person Neptune" Black Heart scoffed, as her and the other goddesses regrouped.
"He’s the only one of them that’s a human, I don’t want to risk hurting him" she said, standing up and readying her sword “Besides, I don’t think he’s doing this of his own will…there’s some kind of Device around his neck.”
"Seriously?" White Heart said, readying her axe “Tch, make me feel bad. I’m gonna beat the crap outta him.”
"Hmm, then let this be a race to see who can defeat him first" Green heart smirked, as she readied her spear.
They were about to fight Blues, but then Rockman landed in front of them while Cygnus Wing landed next to Blues.
"Rockman?!" The goddesses said, surprised as Rockman aimed his Buster at Cygnus Wing.
"What the hell are you doing here?" White Heart yelled, as Rockman turned to them.
"I'll explain later, but I need to defeat those guys" Rockman said, before looking back
"Hmph, fine let's just get this finish and find out what the hell is going-" Black Heart said, but then a cord wrapped around her arm.
"What the hell, something's got me!" she cried, she tried slashing it with her sword, only for her other hand to be snared as well.
Neptune tried reaching for her, only for the same wires to wrap around her body, holding her in place.
"What is this...Vert, Blanc!" she cried, watching her friends suffer the same fate.
All four of them tried to break free, but the bindings around their bodies proved too strong for them.
"What! What did you do!" He said, pointing his buster at Cygnus Wing who smirked.
"Oh? I didn't do this" he told him, “Let’s just say I’ve been working with a new partner.”
"Yeah? Well hey asshole! Show your fucking face! I want to see the bastard responsible for this with my own two eyes!" White Heart shouted, glancing toward the cliffside where a lone figure was standing.
Arfoire grinned as she tossed the glowing crystal into the black case. She sealed it up and pressed the on switch, throwing it out above the goddesses.
It spun for a few seconds, connecting to the three devices she had set up earlier, forming a crimson prism around them.
Rockman watched as they all started screaming in pain. It was as if their bodies were being torn apart from the inside.
Black Heart's eyes widened, remembering the feeling she had felt back in the cave before looking up at the Crystal.
"It's that crystal that's doing it!. Rockman! You have to destroy it!" Black Heart yelled, looking down at him.
“Okay! Give me a sec” Rockman nodded, pulling out a battle card and throwing it into the air.
" Battle card! Predation! Cannon" he yelled, as his arm turned into a cannon before he fired at the prism but it didn't do anything "What!”
"Try all you might but that field is being created by Anti-Crystal Energy, unlike your Share Crystals, Anti-Crystals are created from negative energy, and guess what they do? They disconnect CPUs like you four from your sharicites and drain you from any Share Energy you have" Arfoire explained.
Cygnus then smirked as he raised his wings "So no matter what you do, you won't be able to do anything but sit there like useless rags! And thanks to us no one can get in or out!"
"Shit...we fell into a trap." White Heart growled.
Green Heart then looked down at Rockman "I guess then we need to rely on him"
"Let them go!" Rockman yelled, dashing towards Cygnus Wing who simply dodged the attack before kicking him back.
"Your frequency seems familiar… let me ask you something… do you know of the Elysium" he asked, confusing the Goddesses.
"Yeah… I do… my parents were in that ship… the ones you destroyed!" Rockman yelled, as he fired at Cygnus Wing who flew out of the way.
He then spun around and threw a kick towards Rockman but then Blues moved in and blocked the attack with his shield.
“Senpai!” he smiled, looking at his fellow EM warrior protecting him.
"Oi! Cygnus, what are you doing" Blues asked, “Why are you bringing up the Elysium now!”
"Just me doing my job! And it looks like you’ve forgotten yours!” he frowned, before snapping his fingers.
“GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!” Blues screamed, as his collar sent electricity throughout his body.
“AH! Senpai!” Rockman gasped, trying to get close but each time he did he would get shocked by the sparks.
“So that’s what he meant by being forced to do this” White Heart frowned, watching this.
"Those aliens were the ones who destroyed the elysium" Black Heart gasped, as Purple Heart looked down.
'His parents were on the Elysium...' she thought, starting to put the pieces together "No…".
“Ugh…” Blues grunted as he fell to one knee.
“Senpai- ugh” Rockman gasping before jumping back from some wing blades shot by Cygnus Wing.
“Let me tell you a story I think you’ll find very interesting~” Cygnus Wing Smiled as he landed on the ground giving Rockman the chance to dash towards him "Huhu, I was there the day we invaded the Elysium and might I know who was the one who killed your parents".
This caused Rockman to freeze, as he stopped right in front of Cygnus with his fist right at his face "…What?".
"Cygnus, don't you dare!" Omega-xis growled.
“Cygnus! You can’t tell him!” Scorpio screamed, as he tried to help Blues up.
"That station was his, remember? He was up there when it blew up. I admit that I was part of the squad that caused what happened up there but I wasn't the leader." He explained.
"If you want to find who was really in charge of the operation that took your dear Mommy and Daddy… then try looking at your left hand!"
A look of horror crossed Ryu's face "Then you're telling me..." He said, looking down his left arm… at Omega-xis.
"Under the orders of King Cepheus, Omega-Xis lead a squad of FMians to attack the Elysium!" Cygnus Wing explained. "And during that assault, Omega-Xis attacked a human couple, their names were Daigo and Akane Stelar!".
"Wait, that's Ryu's parents name!" Black Heart gasped.
"So then that means…" White Heart realised looking down at Rockman.
"Ryu… is Rockman!" Green Heart gasped, in pure shock.
"Ryu…" Purple Heart question looking at Rockman.
"So in other words, you've been bonded with your father's murderer the whole time and you were too stupid to even know it!" Cygnus Wing laughed, as Rockman fell to his knees
"It's funny! The great hero Rockman was actually just a little boy playing super hero crying for mommy and daddy… complete with spandex" Arfoire joked "It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic".
None of these remarks were heard by Ryu, everything was silent to him as he took everything in, he then looked down at Omega-xis.
"Ryu…" Omega-xis began.
"Omega-xis he's lying in right? You didn't do it! You didn't kill my parents right!".
"…I'm…sorry…"
"…Get off…".
This confused Omega-xis as he looked up at the human "What?".
"Get off…GET OFF NOW!" He screamed, grabbing Omega-xis's head and began pulling.
"W-Wait! Ryu what are you doing!" Omega-xis yelled, as Ryu continued pulling their armour getting more and more cracks.
"GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF! GGGGGEEETTTT OFFFFFF!" Ryu screamed, pulling Omega-xis off which caused their form to flash.
Suddenly a giant wave of light exploded from the forms and grew bigger and bigger encompassing all of Gamindustri and even into spaces towards the four satellites
When the light hit the satellites, they suddenly flashed as an aura surrounded the Satellites.
" The starforce… has awoken"
Chapter 15: The End of Rockman
Chapter Text

Third person P.O.V.
"Mom! Dad!" Ryu cried, as he ran through a dark shadowy place as he looked around.
"Neptune…Nepgear…" he cried, as he began slowing down before looking down.
"Anybody…".
Ryu just stood, silence and darkness enveloping him as he was left all alone.
He then noticed a bright light in the distance, Ryu smiled as he began running towards the light.
But when he did, he froze.
What he saw was all of the Goddesses, Candidates, Lyra Note and Blues were down on the ground all dead.
What shocked them the most was that the one who had killed them all…was Rockman.
"W-What…" Ryu stuttered, shocked as Rockman turned to him and dashed straight towards him.
"Aaaaahhhh!" He screamed, covering his face when suddenly his chest began shining brightly which knocked Rockman back.
"Huh?" He gasped, looking at the light coming from his pendant.
" Find it…"
"Find it? Find what".
"… Find… the… StarForce…"
"Star…force?" He repeated, before he was engulfed by the bright light.
Basilicom Hospital
Ryu P.O.V.
"U-Ugh" I groaned, as I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times.
I looked around a bit and noticed that I was in a hospital bed and my whole body was covered in bandages.
"What… happened…what was that dream?" I blinked, trying to move only to find that the bandages around my body were too tight for me to move.
"Ugh… guess I won't be moving any time soon…how long have I been out for…?" I muttered, looking over to the window and noticed that it was still dark outside so either it was night out, or there was a bad storm.
'What was up with that dream… it felt so real… but who were those voices… and what is the starforce?' I thought.
After a few minutes I finally got the strength to get back up, but everything was still sore and I had trouble moving "Wish someone could help me out…".
As if on que, the door opened up making me look over to see Uncle Aaron walking in.
"Huh Ah! Ryu" Uncle Aaron gasped running up to me before helping me back down onto the couch "Don't start moving, you just got up".
"Okay… what happened? Why am I in the hospital, are Neptune and the others okay?" I asked, confused as he frowned.
"…Well you see…".
Flashback
Third person P.O.V.
We see a car driving up into Zune district through the ground that only appeared in low tide.
"Are you sure this is the way they're going!" Aaron asked, as he tried to drive while the car was bumping and shaking due to the rocks.
"Yes, this is the place where his Transer was detected" Nepgear nodded, as she and IF sat in the back of the car
"Why would Tom be leading Ryu to Zune district?" He asked, as IF looked down and considered things.
"It's probably a trap, which means Nep and the others could be in trouble" IF frowned, as Nepgears eyes widened
"Oh no…big sis!" She gasped, noticing the purple prism in the distance.
"That doesn't look good" Aaron frowned, as he accelerated but then.
There was a giant white explosion that was moving towards them making the car stop.
Everyone instinctively blocked their eyes from the brightness of the light as it passed by them.
"What was that?" IF coughed, shaking her head as all of them walked into the car.
"Huh? What in the world?!" Aaron gasped, looking up at the sky confusing the other.
"What is it?" IF asked, as she and Nepgear looked up as well only for their eyes to widen as well "What the hell…".
"T-That's the Wave Road!" Nepgear gasped, remembering when showed her the roads.
The entire sky had the roads of the EM world now visible to the human eye, along with viruses inhabiting them.
"That's the wave road?" Aaron gasped, as they all looked up at the wave world.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! IT WORKED!" They heard, running over to see what was going on.
The four goddesses were trapped in a purple prism, Ryu had fallen unconscious with Omega-xis next to him, Blues was on his knees behind them and Cygnus and Arfoire were next to each other looming over them.
"Explain, what's happening" Arfoire asked, with a raised eyebrow as Cygnus smirked.
"You see it'd take too long to drain the Share Energy from the goddesses, but then I thought Omega-xis must have absorbed a lot of Share Energy whenever he would become Rockman".
"What!" Omega-xis snarled, confused.
"I get it, and when the boy forced the alien off of him it released Share Energy allowing all the EM beings and viruses to materialise." Arfoire said, as Cygnus smirked.
"And now…" he said, walking towards the boy but Omega-xis moved in front of him
"Get away!" Omega-xis growled, dashing towards them but Arfoire used her magic to freeze the EM being in place "G-Gah!".
"Do it" Arfoire smirked.
Cygnus then picked up Ryu and was about to finish him off but then a pincer stabbed into Cygnus's body causing him to drop Ryu.
"W-What!" He growled, looking over to see Blues shield attacking him.
"Y-Yeah sorry, but I can’t really let my Aniki’s Kouhai die without doing anything” Scorpio growled.
“Heh, nice one Scorpio” Blues grinned, getting back up.
"You would betray us as well, Scorpio!! I should've known but…" Cygnus said, pressing a button but nothing happened "What!".
"Sorry but that little light show may have broken the little shock collar" he said, ripping it off before crushing it.
Arfoire was about to attack but Blues blasted the ground beneath her making a dust cloud.
He then dashed, picking up Ryu and Tom's bodies; he ran as fast as he could until he noticed IF, Aaron and Nepgear in the distance.
"Omega-xis! Follow me" he yelled, as Omega-xis shook his head and nodded
"Right" he smirked, as the two dashed towards the others.
"Ah!" They said, as Blues looked at them.
"Heya, no time for introductions right now, we've gotta go" he told them.
“W-What! Why should we listen to-” IF said before seeing a shit ton of Viruses flying towards him “...Never mind, Drive.”
“Right!” Aaron nodded, revving the engine and drove off quickly as they were followed by a bunch of viruses with Blues and Omega-xis blasting at any virus that got close.
Flashback end
"After that, we brought you back and Omega-xis explained everything" Aaron explained "You've been through a lot for the past few months".
I slowly nodded, before looking back up "What about Mr Dubias? Is he okay"
"Don't worry, he's in the hospital resting right now.” he smiled, patting his shoulder.
"Thank goodness" I sighed, in relief before looking down "…Are the others still here?"
"Yeah, they're right outside… want me to get them?" He asked, as I slowly nodded.
After a few minutes all four candidates as well as Jack walked into the room and sat down in front of me.
"So…you guys heard…?" I asked, looking at Uni, Rom and Ram who all nodded.
"Yeah we totally know! Who woulda thought a dummy like you would actually be an awesome super hero!" Ram smiled.
"Yeah, you're so cool" Rom nodded, not as loud as her twin.
This made a smile grow on my face "Thanks…".
"But why didn't you tell anyone?" Uni asked, as I looked down.
"I-I don't know I guess just didn't know you guys enough at the time… that I didn't feel like I would trust you guys enough to tell you" I said.
I then looked down and remembered what I found out back in the Zune district.
"…Where's Omega-xis" I asked, as Nepgear gulped.
"I-I think he's on the balcony…” Nepgear told me.
I nodded, slowly standing up and picking up my visualisers "I…need to talk to him".
"Ryu… you don't wanna do this" Jack told me, knowing what I wanted to talk to him about.
"Yeah… but I need to know" I said, walking out of the room while the others decided to follow me.
Balcony
Third person P.O.V.
We see Ryu walking through the door to the balcony. He had his visualisers on as he walked towards Omega-xis who was looking down at the city.
"You don't need the Visualizer to see me right now, kid," Omega-Xis told him, not bothering to turn around. "That little light show that happened when you ripped me off sent a wave of light that covered the planet, so now the Wave Road is visible".
Ryu blinked and pulled his visualise down off of his face, he blinked when he saw to his surprise that Omega-Xis, along with the Wave Road above them, was still visible.
Ryu then took a deep breath as his expression turned serious "We have to talk, Omega-Xis."
Omega-Xis sighed as he turned around, "It's about the Space Station, isn't it?"
"I wanna know, for real this time," Ryu said. "Is it true that you were the one who led the other FM-Ian's in the attack on the space station? Did you really do it?"
“...Yeah, it's true. I was the one who started it," he slowly nodded, deciding not to hide the answer.
"What?" Ryu asked again, almost as if he was hoping it wasn't true,
"I was the captain of the attack squad," Omega-Xis explained. "If you hate me for that… I won't complain but..." "But what!?"
Behind them in the door, the CPU candidates, Jack, IF and Compa peered through as they listened in on the conversation.
"What happened on the space station?!" Ryu demanded to know. "My parents were there in case you forgot! What did you do!?"
Omega-Xis grunted, as he turned his head, "Let's stop, I'm done talking about this".
"There you go again! Being all secretive! You did kill my mom and dad, didn't you! That's why you aren't saying anything!" Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared down at Omega-xis "This whole time I thought you were my friend! I thought I could trust you… but you just keep that big of a secret! HOW CAN I TRUST YOU AFTER THAT!".
"We'e done Omega-Xis! You hear me! We're finished!" Ryu screamed, tears rolling down his face "I don't want to ever see your face again!"
"Ryu! Stop! Please think about what you're doing" Nepgear exclaimed, stepping out from the doorway but Ryu didn't look back.
"Well then, I guess there's nothing I can do if you don't trust me anymore" Omega-xis said, looking up. "We were only together for a short time… but you know…Kid… I was raised to be a bloodthirsty savage on planet FM, but being with you… taught me one human emotion that I can understand, the thing you called trust"
"I still hope we'll meet again…and I hope when we do you'll listen to me…" Omega-Xis frowned.
"See ya" he said, turning into energy before flying off.
Ryu fell to his knees, fighting back the tears that were trying to escape but then he felt someone embrace him.
Slowly looking back, he saw Nepgear embracing him and then the other candidates embraced him as well. Tears began rolling down his face, as he finally let all of his emotions come out with an audible scream.
However what they didn't notice were two things glowing on Ryu's person, his star pendant and something in his pocket.
A few hours later
Third person P.O.V.
"What's this all about, IF?" Histoire asked, as she appeared on the screen of IF's Transer.
IF contacted Histoire to give a situation report on the CPUs after they had been captured.
She filled her in about what happened, from their departure and what Ryu, Omega-xis and Jack had informed the,
"I'm not exactly sure, but they somehow sealed the powers of the goddesses" IF said.
"Can you explain in more detail?" Histoire asked, as IF nodded.
"Yes, apparently it's some kind of Crystal that had the ability to cut a Goddesses connection to the sharacite but that's all I know, think you could take a look?".
"Certainly, but it'll take me three days" Histoire agreed as IF nodded
"Good, please be quick about it.”
"Is there anything else?" Histoire asked, as IF slowly nodded.
"Yes… there is…" she muttered, and then proceeded to explain to Histoire what they had just learned, about how Ryu was Rockman.
"You're saying Ryu is Rockman?" Histoire blinked, surprised "I'm sorry IF but I find that hard to believe".
"It's true Histoire" Nepgear told her, walking up next to IF "I've known for a while now and I've been helping him fight the aliens this whole time".
She then bowed "I'm sorry for not telling you and I'm sorry for getting Ryu into so many dangerous situations!".
"Nepgear…" Histoire mumbled, before smiling "That's alright, just come back to Planeptune along with Ryu. Uni and the others should go back to their own respective nations as well. I'll go start the research, goodbye".
The call then turned off, as IF turned to the candidates "Well, you heard her–"
"Hold on!" Uni interrupted, "Do you seriously expect us to just go home because she said so? Give us a proper explanation!"
"Usually, Blanc would just knock baddies out in one blow!" Ram followed, with Rom looking down "Is big sis gonna die?".
"I-I'm sure she'll be fine," Compa reassured the little girls even if she was uncertain
"You heard what those aliens said! Those rocks are cutting them away from the shares! They can die!" Uni argued.
"I'm sorry," Nepgear said, as Compa looked over at her.
"It's not your fault, Ge-ge.”
"Yes, it is." Nepgear said "That rock I picked up back when we were shopping, I'm sure that's the item which drained their powers… if only I had thought more carefully about why I felt numb back then... If only I had told Big sis and the others about it..."
"You idiot! My sister is really strong, but because of you, she's...YOU SHOULD'VE TAKEN HER PLACE!" Uni shouted, shocking Nepgear as she ran off.
"Uni! Wait!" Nepgear called, as Her, Jack, Rom and Ram followed her.
They found Uni on the balcony as she looked over now "What do you want now! I told you I don't want to-".
"STOP!"
Everyone looked over to Jack after he had been quiet this whole time before he turned to Uni.
"Uni, I know you're mad at Nepgear but that shouldn't mean you should be blaming her and Nepgear! I know you're blaming yourself but you shouldn't! Even if you did tell them, they were tricked and might've still been captured" he stated, making both Candidates look down.
"Yeah… Mr. Jack is right so could you please make up" Rom said, as the two candidates looked at each other.
"I guess…I went too far…I'm sorry" Uni apologized, looking down as Nepgear shook her head "Don't be."
"I know it's not your fault. Yet I..." she said, beginning to tear up.
"Yeah, and I know how you feel," Nepgear told her before embracing Uni easing her sadness.
"See, do you feel better now?" Jack asked, as the two candidates nodded.
"I thought there couldn't be anyone stronger than my sister," Uni admitted "That everything would be fine as long as she was around."
"I'm the same. I can't do anything without my sister either," Nepgear confessed as well "But we can't just sit around and do nothing, Neptune wouldn't stay and neither would Ryu".
"But still, we have no idea what to do" Uni said, looking down
"It's simple! We just need to save them!" Ram said, enthusiastically.
"I want to save them too," Rom followed suit.
"But we can't even transform yet!" Uni said, as Rom and Ram smiled.
"Then we just need to change that!" Ram said, as Rom nodded "Let's learn how to do it,together".
"Yeah, me and Aniki can help ya do it" Scorpio grinned, from Jack's Transer.
"You'd help us?" Uni blinked surprised as Jack smirked.
"Well yeah, we gotta get payback with Cygnus for putting that damn collar on me” Jack frowned. “Besides, it’ll be good to make up for what we did to you guys.”
"I suppose that could work, it'll be worth a try at least" Nepgear said, as a Uni looked down
"Noire… she said something about how I can't transform because I subconsciously limit myself," Uni recalled, "Like the things we're scared about are holding us back."
"Fine, we'll have to keep on training till we're not afraid anymore" Ram said, "Okay?".
Uni and Nepgear both looked at each other before nodding, making the two younger candidates smile.
"Well then, if you're going to be training then you'll need some more help" They heard, looking over to see Lyra Note sitting on the roof of the door.
“AH! LYRA NOTE!!”" Nepgear smiled , looking up at her.
"Lyra! Is that you? I was wondering where you were" Scorpio said, as Lyra smirked.
"Hey Scorpio, shoulda known you'd betray them sooner or later" She winked, while Lyra Note jumped down in front of them
"Wait, who are you? Do you know her Nepgear?" Uni asked, with a raised eyebrow.
“Oh you wanna know who I am?” Lyra Note smirked before her whole body flashed.
"EEEEEEHHHHHH?!?!?!?!" Jack, Uni, Rom and Ram gasped, when they saw Lyra Note's human form Aika Hibiki
"Yo" she waved, with a smile.
"Y-Y-You're Aika Hibiki" "Wow! A real idol!" "You're a hero like Rockman" the candidates gawked.
"That's right I'm the guardian of love and peace! Lyra Note!" She grinned., with a peace sign "I'm an old friend of Ryu too.”
“Huh, you were the last person I’d expect to be one of us” Jack admitted, crossing his arms.
"Aika, what are you doing here?" Nepgear asked, as Aika turned to her.
"Ryu told me about what happened, so I came to see if he was okay but I found you guys instead" she said.
"You'll really help us?" Rom asked, as Aika smiled and patted her head.
"Yup, Vert helped me a few weeks ago so I owe her".
"Thank you… both of you" Nepgear smiled, looking at Jack and Aika who both nodded.
They then all walked back inside to begin training right away right as the sun began rising.
The next day.
We see Ryu sitting down in his bed, curled up in a ball, still depressed because of what happened the other night.
He hadn't slept much since then, which could be seen with the bags under his eyes and the messiness of his hair.
The door then opened up as Ryu looked over to see IF and Compa walking inside.
"Hey Ryu… it's time to head back now…" IF told him, as Ryu slowly nodded and got back up.
They then walked up to the other room to get the candidates as Compa looked over at Ryu worried.
"Are you sure you're okay Ryu? You look really bad" Compa asked, as Ryu slowly nodded, not wanting to say a word.
"Leave him alone Compa, he's been through a lot" IF said, as Compa nodded as they opened the door only to be surprised at what they saw.
" Ox Tackle!" Taurus Fire yelled, as he dashed towards Nepgear and Uni who had to block the attack but was still knocked away.
"Taurus can't stop moving when he performs the attack, so you need to get better at dodging the attacks!" Scorpio said
" Water scale!" Libra Scales said, as he sent a water tornado towards Rom and Ram who used their ice magic to freeze the tornado, however.
" Fire scale!" He said, as they sent a fire tornado which knocked them back.
"Your magic is very similar, but you need to learn to support your partner's weakness since Libra can only use two elements," Lyra said.
The scene moved back to show that the Candidates, Scorpio and Lyra were using the Manect's training mode so that they can practice fighting the FM-Ian's that were controlled by Jack and Aika.
"What the heck are you all doing!" IF asked, causing them to stop the training.
"IF…" Nepgear said, as IF walked up.
"Why are you using Vert's training simulator?" She asked, as Jack looked over.
"We're helping them train so they can unlock their cpu powers" Jack explained, as Aika nodded.
"We wanted to help save our big sisters, and the only way we can do that is if we become stronger," Uni said.
"Yeah! We're going to beat all those Aliens up!" Ram said, with Rom nodding.
"So please IF, Compa will you please help us grow stronger" Nepgear begged, as the two guild members looked at each other before they nodded.
They then continued training, but as this happened Ryu frowned before turning around and leaving the room.
Jack and Aika noticed this before they looked at each other and nodded before they followed the boy.
We see Ryu walking towards the entrance of the Bascilicom so he can get to his transport back to Planeptune.
"Ryu!" He heard, before he turned around to see Aika and Jack.
"Ryu, where are you going?" Aika asked, looking worried.
"Yeah, you're not seriously leaving with the goddesses in danger" Jack frowned, placing his hand on his hip.
"You don't need me… if I just stayed then I'd get in the way" he muttered, as the two looked at each other.
"What are you talking about? You have more experience in fighting the guys then anyone else" Jack pointed out "You can't just leave now, we need you if we wanna-" "YOU DON'T NEED ME! YOU NEED ROCKMAN!".
"What?! You are Rockman!" Aika exclaimed, stomping up to him, as Ryu turned to her "You did all those things! Not Omega-xis! You!".
"I'd like to believe that…" he frowned.
"Ryu…” Aika muttered, moving up and holding his hand “Are you okay?”
"I…No…" he said, as he shook his head away "I don't know if I'll ever be, I mean, you heard Omega-Xis, right? He killed my Mom and Dad…”
"Did he though?" Jack asked, as Ryu looked at him "All Omega-Xis was saying was that he did attack the station your parents were on, but he never actually said out right that he killed them.”
"If he didn't then why would he dodge the question?" Ryu replied, swinging his arm.
"Regret," They heard, looking up to see Scorpio and Lyra coming in.
"Tell me kid, fair he really did kill your folks, then why would he go out of his way to get you out of danger?" Lyra said, as Ryu blinked.
"What are you saying?".
"Ain’t it obvious? Just feels guilty for what he did that day" Scorpio replied "Trust me if Omega-xis feels bad about something he'd definitely try to keep it to himself he's too hard headed to be honest with people".
For a few moments Ryu was silent before he turned around "I'm sorry… but I can't…good luck…I hope you can save them" he said, before he walked out of the Basilica much to the others disappointment.
Leanbox
Third person P.O.V.
In the city of Leanbox, we see several people running away from viruses that had now materialised into the real world thanks to the wave road being visible.
All Satellite police members were trying to bring the public to safety, the Bascilicom opening their doors to keep people safe.
One group was about to be done in by the viruses but before they were, a green streak rushed in, deleting the viruses.
The humans looked over to their savior only to scream out in terror and ran away when they saw Omega-xis. Omega-xis scoffed as he watched the humans running away.
'Typical humans, running away from the first sign of something they're not afraid of' he thought, before continuing to fly.
Omega-xis wasn't exactly sure where to go now, he couldn't very well go back to Ryu, especially after last night and he was certain that there was no one else on the planet with an EM frequency similar to his own.
"Shit… what am I meant to do now… it won't be long before the others find me and take the Andromeda key, guess I should find a way off this rock before-GAH!" Omega-xis cried, as he was shot down to the ground.
"Who would dare" he growled, as he looked up to see Ophiucha Queen and Crown Thunder up on the roofs.
"Omega-xis! You're coming with us" Ophiucha demanded, as Crown Thunder jumped up and down.
"That's right! That's right! So why don't you stop being such a rebel and do what you're told" he laughed.
"Heh, like hell I will!" He yelled, shooting blasts at them from his mouth forcing the FM-Ian's to move out of the way.
" Gorgon eyes!" Ophiucha Queen shot Lazers at Omega-sus as he moved out of the way before dashing towards her.
Ophiucha Queen used her speed before dodging out of the way of Omega-xis attack.
Crown Thunder then summoned several skeleton viruses as it all dashed towards the virus.
" Beast Slap!" He yelled, swinging his claw at the viruses deleting them.
However it was a trap, as a powerful electric surge began shocking throughout the FM-Ian's body.
"G-Gah…ah…Ugh…" Omega-xis grunted, falling down towards the ground unconscious.
The FM-Ian's walked up to Omega-xis's unconscious body as they picked him up and brought him to Zune district.
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
We see Goddesses still trapped in the Purple Prism, their CPU forms having been lost hours ago and under them a dark liquid was dripping down but rising more and more towards them.
"Is it just me or did that pond get higher?" Neptune asked, glancing at the dark pool below them.
Arfoire had told them something ominous about the pool, that it may mean nothing for now but it'll soon mean their end.
Vert swallowed hard, trying to lift her legs a little higher. "I've been trying not to worry...but yes it has risen quite a bit." She sighed,the tiredness was already getting to her.
"Guys, I hate to say it but...I don't think we can get out of this one. I feel so tired...like my life is draining out of me." Blanc added, trying to struggle.
"Come on Blanc, don't give up yet! We've got to believe in our little sisters!" Neptune told her.
"Hate to break it to you Neptune, but I don't think they'll be much help. I mean, Uni can't even transform yet, neither can Nepgear...do you really think they'll be able to save us?"
"Of course I do! I have faith in my little sister, not just her, I have faith in Ryu too! He's been fighting for ages now without even telling us and he was able to kick butt this whole time! I'm sure if they all work together they can save us easily!".
The other goddesses looked at Neptune's optimism and decided to also believe in the others as well.
However, as if on cue the prism was shaken, causing the goddesses to look up to see the body of Omega-xis slammed down on the prism they were trapped inside.
"Hey it's that dude that Ryu always had with him when he transforms" Neptune said, as Blanc frowned.
"The one that killed his parents too" Blanc said.
"Yeah, and the rest of the Elysium probably" Noire agreed.
"This doesn't look good then…" Vert frowned, as they watched what was going on.
Outside we see that Omega-xis was being chained on to the prism as he struggled to break free.
"Kukuku, it's a been a long and hard cat and mouse game we've been playing, Omega-xis" Cygnus Wing said smugly.
As this was happening, Arfoire and Pirachu were watching this going on from below as Pirachu took pictures of the Goddesses in their positions.
The rest of the FM-Ian's were causing chaos around the other nations to let off some steam.
"But I am a civilised FM-Ian, so I'll give you a chance, rejoin us, give us back the aAndromeda key and we might not even destroy this planet you love so much.”
"Tch, like hell I'm gonna let you have the key! Don't forget I'm an FM-Ian too. I can tell when you're lying".
"Fine, I gave you a chance" Cygnus Wing shrugged, before he plunged his hand into Omega-xis's body causing him to stiffen.
"Now to finally get the Andromeda key back!" Cygnus laughed, but his amusement soon slowed down.
This caught Arfoire's attention as she looked up "What's wrong? Are you going to take back the key or not?"
"It's…not here" Cygnus said, surprising Arfoire
"What?".
"It's not here! He doesn't have it!" Cygnus yelled, as he glared at Omega-xis.
"W-What?" Omega-xis blinked looking honestly confused and surprised.
"WHERE IS IT YOU BASTARD!" Cygnus yelled, as Omega-xis growled.
"I have no idea! I never let it go".
"Then where is i-" Cygnus growled, before realising something "Oooooooohhhhhhh".
"What?" Omega-xis asked, as Cygnus smirked.
"I see, I didn't expect you to be a prankster Omega-xis but you son of a bitch you got me" Cygnus laughed.
"What are you even talking about?" Omega-xis asked, as Cygnus smirked.
"The key is with the boy, isn't it?".
"What?" Omega-xis asked, before realising that the forced separation may have left the key with Ryu "No…".
"Hey Rat, call the others, tell them to get after the kid and get the key" he said, as Pirachu waved his hand.
"Yeah yeah, whatever."
"And you know what? Bring the kid here as well. I wanna see the Goddesses' faces as we kill him!" Arfoire smirked, as Pirachu nodded and continued to work.
"What! No you can't do this!" Neptune said, struggling to break free from the cables.
"We won't let you!" Noire said, continuing to struggle.
"When we get out of here we'll kick all your asses!" Blanc roared, moving around from the cords.
"Why are you doing this!" Vert cried, also shaking around.
"YOU LAY EVEN A FINGER ON HIM I SWEAR I'LL CIRCUMCISE YOU WITH A RUSTY FUCKING SPORK! CYGNUS!" Omega-xis roared, much to the surprise of the goddesses as he attempted to break free from the chains.
Cygnus and Arfoire smirked as they left the area to leave Omega-xis alone with the goddesses.
"I don't get it…" Noire said, as Omega-xis looked back.
"What?".
"From what we've gathered, the only reason you were with Ryu was because you needed a place to hide out from the rest of your race," Noire said.
"And you used the fact that you knew his parents as a way to convince him to agree" Blanc continued, as Omega-xis nodded.
"That's right…, rare moment of you Goddesses acting sensibly” Omega-xis scoffed.
"But then… if you had killed his parents… why are you so protective of Ryu? You tried protecting him last time when you two separated but why?".
"…I don't wanna talk about this…" Omega-xis said, looking away.
"Oh come on Mega, if we're going to be stuck here awhile might as well tell us a story, like why'd ya kill Ryu's folks for".
"I didn't kill his folks…" he said, surprising the goddesses "It's just…it was hard to tell him what I actually did".
"What did you do?" The goddesses asked, as Omega-xis sighed.
"Fine, since we're gonna die soon anyway might as well tell you" he sighed, shaking his head "It all started when we were sent out on a mission to a possible threat because our king was sent a message he couldn't understand…"
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V
"Okay… so then I got to use the Tan of the angle too…" Ryu muttered, as he did some study work in his room.
"And done…" Ryu sighed, closing his book as he stretched his arms.
"Ah, what do you want to do now Omega-xis" he smiled, opening his Transer only to see the screen blank.
"…" Ryu sighed, and shook his head before getting back up "I need to get some air".
The boy walked out of the door and looked out the window, still mesmerized by the now seeable Wave Road with viruses still around.
Many of the civilians had taken sanctuary on the lower levels of this building in order to get away from the attacking viruses.
"Ryu?" He heard, turning around to see Histoire behind him looking pretty tired.
"Oh hey, Lady Histoire, are you okay? You're looking pretty tired" Ryu noted, as Histoire nodded.
"Yes, I have been researching as much as I can on those crystals that weakened the CPU's" she tiredly nodded, before opening her eyes "But where are you going?".
"Oh I just thought I'd go out for a walk" Ryu said, as she turned her head.
"Are you sure? It's still pretty dangerous out there" Histoire said, as Ryu smiled.
"Don't worry, I have my battle cards and Transer at the ready so I should be fine" he said, as she nodded.
"Um Ryu, I know you've been through a lot but if you ever want to talk about it I'm right here" she said, as Ryu nodded.
"Thanks".
Leanbox Bascilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"Take this!" Nepgear yelled, as she swung her battle card powered sword and slashed down the copy Cygnus Wing, deleting him.
"W-We did it" Nepgear smiled, as they all finally defeated all of the computer controlled FM-Ian's in under an hour.
As the game turned off, with the EM warriors returning to normal, all of our heroes fell to the ground tiredly.
"Ah! That was so scary" Rom sighed, as Ram smirked.
"Don't worry Rom! Now we can beat up those guys easy".
"Beating the Computer ones is one thing but defeating the real deal is another" Uni said, as Jack patted her back.
"Come on, we at least know what they can do now so now we're all prepared" he smirked, as Uni nodded.
"Yeah! And we have larger numbers! It's 8 versus 7 so we should be fine" Aika grinned, with a smile.
"It could've been 9 versus 7…" Nepgear frowned, making everyone go silent.
"We can't let that stop us" IF said, as everyone nodded "Alright everyone take the chance to rest and get ready, we'll be leaving when the sun goes down".
"Iffy! Terrible news!"
They looked over to see Compa running in with her phone "Compa? What's wrong".
"Look at this" Compa said, as she gave her smartphone a shocking IF on what was displayed.
It was a picture of Purple Heart and the rest of the goddesses all tied up and growing weaker and weaker.
"Everyone, gather up!" IF called, as everyone moved up to her, wondering what was going on.
She showed the picture, and Nepgear wasn't too comfortable seeing her sister like that.
"Shit! This isn’t good. If this gets sent out news of the four Goddesses being captured will spread like wildfire" Jack frowned
"If we don't save them soon then there might be a share crash and without our sisters I don't think the nations can survive" Uni said, looking down.
"Then we better make sure to free the goddesses before things get bad" Aika nodded.
"Yeah, I know we can do it! We've become even stronger now. I know we're close to unlocking our CPU powers" Nepgear said, as everyone else nodded.
Back in Planeptune
Ryu P.O.V.
I walked down the streets of Planeptune which were empty since everyone else was hiding in their homes or in the Bascilicom.
"This… is all my fault…" I muttered, as I looked at the viruses roaming the streets.
"If…I had just listened to Omega-xis and not try getting him off me…" I said, before shaking my head "No! Why am I sympathising with him! He killed my parents"
" Trust me kid, if Omega-xis feels bad about something he'd definitely try to keep it to himself he's too hard headed to be honest with people".
"Damn it…" I frowned, shoving my hands into my pockets but then I noticed something inside "Huh?".
I pulled out my pocket to see what was inside but my eyes widened when I did.
"The…Andromeda…key…" I muttered looking at the glowing sphere in my hand."Why…do I have it? Did…Omega-xis leave it with me by accident"
The key then began vibrating as it began pulling my hand around and began dragging me further into the city "H-Hey! The heck! W-Wait!".
It dragged me for a few minutes until it stopped pulling only for me to see someone being attacked by viruses "Huh? Hey are you okay!"
I started running towards the viruses as I pulled out some battle cards before inserting them into the Transer.
" Battle card! Predation! Sword! Wave! Gatling!" I yelled as the Wave weapons appeared next to me.
“GO!” I yelled, as the weapons flew towards the viruses and attacked them.This caused the viruses to be deleted as they dissolved into a mass of pixels.
“Phew, that should do it” I nodded, before running up to the person I had just saved "Hey, are you oka-Huh?".
Who I saw on the ground was Rei Ryghts who was looking dazed and dizzy.
"Uh, Huh oh Ryu!" She gasped, while scrambling to fix her glasses to get a better look at me.
"Feels like I'm always helping you" I joked, as I offered her my hand but then I noticed her tearing up and shaking "Uh, Rei?".
"RRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYUUUUUUU!" She cried, hugging me very tightly as we crashed on to the ground.
"R-R-R-Rei! W-W-What a-a-are you doing!" I blushed, struggling but she wouldn't go.
"I-I W-W-WAS S-S-SO S-S-SCARED!" She cried, making me blush.
"Okay! Okay! J-Just calm down!".
A few minutes later
"Mmmmmmm" Rei groaned, completely embarrassed as we both sat down on a bench, well Rei was laying down on it blushing a lot.
"Are you doing okay?" I asked, scratching my cheek as she moved back up.
"I-I'm sorry about that I-I was just so scared of those viruses when you saved me I felt such a rush of relief that I didn't know what I was doing next" she stuttered “I’m so sorry!”
"It's alright, I get it you were scared" I told her with a soft smile."Thanks" she sighed, before looking at me "Um Ryu, are you okay? You're looking really tired".
"Huh, yeah I've just been through a lot recently" I said, surprising her.
“Really? Like what?".
"I guess… I recently learned that someone that I trusted had betrayed my trust. I exploded at him and said that I never wanted to see him again without actually hearing him out…" I said, before looking down "But I guess you can't relate to that".
"Actually I can" she smiled, making me blink in surprise. “...I used to have a friend that I was really close with but the last time I saw him… we had a fight… I thought he was doing something against me but later on I found out that he was actually just trying to help me… I haven't seen him since… and I can never see him again".
"Wow…Rei" I muttered, feeling sympathy for the older woman.
"So I guess you should at least talk to your friend, and see why he did what he did.”
"Okay" I smiled, before looking at her "Thanks… I needed that Rei".
"No problem" she smiled, ruffling my hair a bit.
"By the way Rei, what was your friend's name?" I asked, as she blinked.
"On his name was So-"
BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
Suddenly there was a large explosion which knocked the two of us back.
"Ugh, who?" I frowned, looking up to see Taurus Fire stomping towards us.
"I finally found you brat!" Taurus Fire boasted, as he shot fire from his snout "You're coming with me! Ox Tackle!"
"Rei! Quickly we need to get out of here!" I said, grabbing her hand and jumping away as Taurus Fire crashed into the Bench.
“Bastard!” Taurus Fire growled, chasing after us as we began running from the FM-Ian.
"Why is a FM-Ian here!" She asked, as we ran away from Taurus Fire.
"I'm not sure! And why are they looking for us" I told her, but then we heard a crash on the roof of the building above us.
"You're not getting away from us that easily!" Wolf woods howled, as he swung his arms towards but Rei lifted her hand and summoned a spear like weapon blocking the attack.
"Ryu! Get out of here I'll try and keep them busy" Rei said, as I looked at her.
"I can't just let you stay-" "Just do it! Leave this to the adults and get to safety".
"…Alright…" I said, before nodding and running off to safety.
Switch to Rei P.O.V.
I watched as Ryu got out of ear shot before turning to the two FM-Ian's in front of me.
"Hah! You really think you can take on the both of us!" Taurus Fire boasted, while Wolf Woods frowned.
"Wait… Gemini? Why the heck are you in our way" Wolf asked, as Taurus looked at Wolf.
"Wait, that's Gemini".
"Heh you tell me, it's my host that showed up here" Gemini said, materialising next to me.
"Huh wait, why do you want to hurt Ryu? He's just a good kid" I asked, as Gemini shook his head.
"Have you not learnt anything?" Gemini asked, as I continued looking confused.
"The kid's Rockman, and not only that but he's got the Andromeda key".
"WWWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTT!" I screamed, shocked.
Meanwhile with Ryu
"Hah…hah…" I said, hiding behind a building as the sun began setting, "I shouldn't have left Rei, she could hurt…”
I was about to go back and help her but then my pendant began glowing "Huh?"
"It's just like in my dream" I muttered, as it began glowing brighter and brighter before I was engulfed by the light "What!".
I was then shot in the air, as my whole body rocketed in the night sky.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!".
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
We see Nepgear and the others as rather watching a large army of viruses on the island.
"I didn't expect there to be so many viruses," Uni frowned as Scorpio smirked.
"Don't worry, these guys ain't that hard to beat" he said, before turning to Jack "You ready Aniki!".
"Yeah" he nodded as Jack and Aika stood up before they lifted their Transer.
EM WAVE CHANGE! JACK SASOI! ON AIR!
EM WAVE CHANGE! AIKA HIBIKI! ON AIR!
Now transformed the group of 8 looked down at the large army of EM viruses, with their weapons at the ready.
“Alright everyone, don’t forget your training! We’ve only got one shot at this so you better ready yourself” Blues told them as everyone nodded.
The group then began rushing forward towards the large army of Viruses, ready to save their Sisters and Gamindustri.
'Don't worry Neptune… we'll definitely save you… no matter what!' Nepgear thought, as they began their greatest battle yet.
Chapter 16: The Power of Star Force
Chapter Text
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
"After that, Ryu said he didn't want to see me again and I followed his wishes and left" Omega-xis said, as he finished explaining everything to the four goddesses he had gone through from meeting Ryu's parents to now.
"Woah! So you've been here this whole time? I had no idea" Neptune blinked surprised, making Omega-xis snicker.
"Not surprising, you're not exactly the brightest person around," he smirked, causing Neptune to gasp.
"Hey! Why did you gotta be so mean!" Neptune yelled, shaking around in the cables as Noire began snickering.
"I don't know what you're laughing about, not like you're much better" Omega-xis scoffed, offending Noire.
"Huh?! What's that meant to mean! Say that again I dare you" Noire growled, struggling against the cables.
"You kiddin? Let's see here, you're way too prideful, you never let people help you and you're never honest with what you actually want! And don't forget how you treat that little sister of yours who is always striving to do better than you and get your respect but you never give her the time of day" Omeag-xis growled, causing Noire to freeze before looking down.
"It's not like… I don't respect Uni…I just…" Noire said.
"You're not the only one, the Shorty is just as bad" He scoffed, glaring at Blanc
"Huh? What do you want with me" Blanc frowned.
"You're always acting cold and distant to everyone and whenever someone does try to get close to you, explode at them, I mean just look at your sisters they're always playing by themselves. What other actual human friends do they have? Huh!" he yelled.
"You're the same Neptune, you're only there for the bonding time with Nepgear but never at the crucial moments that she needs, she is always so unsure and sad that she isn’t on the same level as you she even fused with an FM-Ian!" He said, shocking Neptune.
"She…she did?" Neptune gasped, with widened eyes.
"Those candidates don't have any parental figures in their lives, all they got is you! So it's your job to help guide them so start doing it!".
Neptune, Noire and Blanc were just silent, not having any comebacks to what Omega-xis had told them, because they knew what he said wasn't wrong.
"I think… even if we all haven't been the best sisters… we need to just believe in them and the others" Vert said, as everyone looked towards their fellow goddess.
"Uni? She's never fought without me by her side" Noire muttered
"Rom and Ram are still at an age where I have to keep them safe, too," Blanc nodded.
"Nepgear seems level-headed, but she's quite spoiled. I think it would be too much for her" Neptune sighed.
"Aren't you being selfish?" Omeag-xis suddenly asked, gaining their attention.
"If I've learned anything from fighting with Ryu, it's that people become stronger through their experiences, he used to barely be able to keep up with the EM viruses but now he's able to take on some of planet FM's strongest warriors! And has even taken on all of you several times.”
"Omega-xis is right, if you don't let them fight on their own and always accompany them through quests, they won't gain any strength." Vert said.
"There will be a time when they don't want to be just your cute little sisters," she said, as the older sister pondered over those words.
"Hey, old hag, bird brain they’re here" Pirachu yelled, walking up to Arfoire and Cygnus catching the Cpu's attention.
"What can they do? They probably can't reach this place with the amount of EM viruses, don't you think?" Arfoire scoffed, looking over at Cygnus.
"Still, with Scorpio and Lyra with them, it might be too close," he muttered, looking down at Pirachu.
"Tell the others to return, we'll get the boy later" Cygnus commanded as Pirachu nodded before getting to work.
Meanwhile with the candidates
Third person P.O.V.
(Play shooting star from Kamen rider Fourze )
" Battle card! Slot in! Sword!" Nepgear said, slotting a battle card into her energy sword, as it's lilac colored blade changed to a green colour.
She then slashed at the incoming EM viruses, deleting them, before she continued running.
" Battle card! Slot in! Barrier!" Rom called as she slotted the barrier card into her weapon which caused a barrier to protect her from some viruses.
"I got you Rom!" Ram smiled, running up before she swung her staff at the viruses, deleting them.
However a bigger virus showed up and was about to attack her but a barrier protected the young candidate.
"I'll protect you too Ram!" Rom smiled, as Ram nodded.
"Sound's good," she said, as they continued fighting.
We see several EM viruses coming from above, however Uni was pointing at them with her sniper rifle.
" Battle card! Slot in! Homing shot!" She said, slotting the card in and firing and thanks to the power of the card all the bullets hit their targets.
We then see Compa stabbing into one virus with her needle as IF slashed another one.
"You better watch out cause this'll hurt!" Compa yelled, as IF moved in and slashed some Spark viruses
"Move it creeps!" She said, slashing through each one that tried moving towards her.
Meanwhile we see Lyra Note dashing forward, while dodging some blasts from the Viruses
“You’ll have to be faster than that! Quick String!” Lyra Note grinned, before she strummed her guitar and sent the energy string which wrapped around a bunch of viruses.
"And now, time for a little Shock Note!" She said, sending the energy notes towards the viruses making them explode.
Several turret viruses began firing at them but Blues moved in and blocked the attacks with his shield.
He then charged up energy into his Buster before pointing at the viruses firing a large charged shot making them explode.
More Viruses jumped up front behind Proto man however a stinger came from his shield and stabbed into each virus deleting the,.
"You okay Aniki? We gotta keep an eye out for things like that”" Scorpio said, as Blues nodded.
"Yeah, thanks Scorpio” Blues nodded, getting back up.
(End song)
We then see Nepgear continuing to slash at the viruses as she runs towards where she remembered seeing the other goddesses.
"Huh? Ah!" She gasped, as several fire viruses shot lava towards her forcing her to move back.
“Gotta protect myself!” she frowned, quickly using a barrier battle card to block the attack.
"Oh no she's in trouble" Ram gasped, running towards Nepgear which distracted Rom.
"Hey wait don-OW!" she said, as she was blasted by the Viruses knocking her to the ground.
"ROM!" Ram said, running up to her sister but then several more viruses surrounded them.
They were about to brace for impact but then several shots fired at the viruses, deleting them much to the surprise of the twins, as they looked over to see Uni and Blues.
"Don't leave each other's sides, you know the plan" Blues told them as Uni reloaded her gun.
"I got your cover, quick let's regroup an-" Unisaid, but then a virus appeared behind her.
Uni spun around and tried to shoot the virus behind her, but it soon rammed into her forcing the girl to drop her battle cards.
'Shit!' She thought, jumping out of the way to regroup and reload.
Nepgear soon rushed in and attacked the viruses attacking her but then more showed up and began blasting her up forcing her to put up a barrier, as she looked back at the other beginning to struggle.
'What… have I done? I was mistaken.' Nepgear thought, as she struggled to keep the barrier up 'It's too early for us to go into battle! Everyone will die because of me! I can't do anything!'
'Big sis! Ryu! Anyone! Help me please!' She cried, before it finally dawned on her.
'No… there's no one here to save me this time…' she thought, as memories flashed through her mind.
"This is why I hate meek people like you"
'I'm relying on them again' Nepgear realised 'I... really do need Neptune and Ryu by my side!'
"Noire… she said something about how I can't transform because I subconsciously limit myself, like the things we're scared about are holding us back."
'What I'm afraid of is... no longer being Neptune's little sister. No, that's not it. I'm afraid of becoming stronger than her!'
"But you've been helping us out this whole time, I know for a fact that when you finally transform you'll be able to help people just like me and Neptune"
'Then… if it means bringing her back… I'll…' "I'll become stronger than her! Stronger than both of them! THEN ANYONE ELSE!" She declared, as power symbols appeared in the Iris's of her eyes.
“ACCESS!” She screamed, as her body exploded in a bright light.
(Play Be somewhere from Megaman exe stream)
Suddenly there was a gigantic explosion of pink light, which deleted all of the viruses surrounding her.
Everyone looked up, as they watched Nepgear's transformation, into her CPU form Purple Sister.
In this form Nepgear's hair becomes longer and pink with a different hair clip that is white and blue to replace the D-pad hair clip. Her eyes become dodger blue in color and wears a white skintight bodysuit with light purple designs and light purple N's on the backhand part of her gloves along with matching thigh high boots.
As everyone watched, stunned at her transformation Nepgear raised her hand and released bright pink light blinding the others.
When the light died down, Nepgear now had her weapon in her hand which was a gun with a large blade on it, allowing her to use it for both.
She then flew up before aiming her gun and firing at the viruses attacking Uni and Blues, deleting them in an instant.
"Hey! You did it!" Uni smiled, looking up at her best friend.
"Heh, so that’s how the goddesses transform" Blues smirked, watching Nepgeat/
"WOW! She looks so cool!” Scorpio grinned.
She then fired again, deleting the viruses attacking Rom and Ram as they looked up and smiled.
"That's Miss Nepgear?" "She looks so pretty!" The two stated.
She then fired a few more blasts at the viruses attacking,ding IF, Compa and Lyra not.
"Iffy! Look at Ge-ge!" Compa smiled.
"Wow! That's amazing" IF gasped, in awe as Lyra note jumped next to them
"Alright! You rock Nepgear!" She smiled, as Lyra nodded "She is pretty impressive".
“Thank you guys” Purple Sister smiled, before blinking and turning around to see the FM-Ian warriors showing up as they ran towards their group.
"Looks like the cavalry has arrived" Blues smirked, rolling his arm.
"Damn, this is going to be tough," Uni frowned, as she reloaded her gun.
"We can't stop now! We're so close!" Nepgear declared, and the others nodded as they advanced forwards towards the FM-Ian's.
?
Ryu P.O.V.
"-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Ryu screamed,as he was brought to a completely dark room "W-W-Where am I?"
"Ryu! Please calm down!" Ryu heard, turning around to see Histoire behind him.
"Lady Histoire? Where are we? What's going on" Ryu asked, before noticing the window and rushing to see that he wasn’t in Gamindustri anymore.
"EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH?!?!?! What! We're in space" Ryu gawked.
"Yes, you see it's a bit hard to explain," Histoire said, as Ryu looked over at her.
" You are inside the satellite Phoenix, the satellite of Planeptune, one of the man made satellites revolving around your planet" A voice from out of nowhere told them.
"Who said that?" Ryu blinked, looking around.
" We brought you here so that you would be able to stop the FM life forms from destroying your planet" Another Voice told him.
"Who's voices are those?" Ryu asked, when suddenly the entire area around Ryu and Histoire changed to look like space as four em beings appeared,
The first looked like a golden phoenix with a purple energy body, the second looked like a ruby lion with a black energy body, the third looked like an emerald dragon with a green energy body and the last looked like a sapphire pegasus with white energy body.
"AH! FM-Ian’s! Histoire get back!" Ryu blinked, stepping back as Histoire shook her head.
"No Ryu, these are the last survivors of the Planet Am and the ones who give our planet the EM waves we use, the four wisemen of Planet Am" Histoire explained, as the four beings nodded "Please introduce yourselves".
The phoinex decided to start "I, who controls Satellite Phoinex of Planeptune, am Phoinex Future"
Then the Lion followed as well "I, who controls Satellite Leo of Lastation, am Leo Kingdom"
The dragon then moved in to speak next "I, who controls Satellite Dragon of Leanbox, am Dragon Sky".
Then lastly the Pegasus introduced himself next "I, who controls Satellite Pegasus of Lowee, am Pegasus Magic"
"You're the ones that govern the EM waves? But why did you bring me here? And Histoire, how do you know them?".
"You see Ryu, their planet was destroyed by the previous king of Planet FM, but luckily they were on our planet hundreds of years ago and were turned into small crystals when their planet was destroyed which was used as the power source for the satellites.”
"But, then why are you awake now?" Ryu asked.
" When you broke your fusion from Omega-axis, you had sent a shared wave so powerful that it had awoken us which allowed your planet to actually see the Wave world". Dragon sky explained.
"Okay? But why did you bring me here" Ryu asked, looking up at them.
" It is because you hold onto both the ultimate weapon of Planet FM, but also the ultimate defence against the weapon" Phoenix Future explained, as a light shined in front of him which lifted up the Andromeda key.
“Huh?! The Andromeda Key” Ryu blinked, looking as the key floated up.
" As we are now we cannot destroy it, our bodies aren't as strong as we used to be so we ask of you to help us stop the FM-Ian's and save the CPU's before it is too late" Leo Kingdom pleaded.
"But why? Aren't Nepgear and the others strong enough to stop it" Ryu asked, causing their eyes to flash.
" It is because, as strong as they are now, they will not be able to defend this world from a full invasion from Planet FM" Pegasus Magic stated.
" The FMians are twisted invaders led by a paranoid king!" Dragon Sky yelled.
"We knew from the start that the FMians would target Earth and plan its destruction!" Leo Kingdom concluded.
" So please, help us defend this plant from the scum that is the FM-Ian's" Phoenix Future pleaded.
"So... if what you said about the FMians being invaders is true... then what about Omega-Xis?" Ryu asked, hesitantly. "Did he... did he really kill my mom and dad?"
"Ryu…" Histoire muttered, looking at Ryu with a sad frown.
"Please just tell me! I'm sick and tired of people constantly not giving me the true answer! Please!".
Leo kingdom then decided to give him an answer "Omega-xis, did not kill your parents"
“He didn’t…so he really didn’t kill my parents” Ryu smiled, a sense of relief going through his body at they news but was caught off guard at what Phoenix Future said next
"And he is not an FM-Ian, he is one of us, an AM-Ian".
"Wait! What!" Ryu gasped, shocked, looking up at the aliens
" That is correct, Omega-xis is an AM-Ian who, when he was just an infant was sent to the Planet FM at the time of our planet's destruction, Omega-Xis has a special secret inside of him, a secret even he himself is unaware of," Pegasus Magic continued. "The ones who summoned Omega-Xis to this planet... were us."
"You did?" Ryu said, surprised "But why?".
" It is because Omega-xis is the last AM-Ian that has enough power in him to merge with our ultimate defense, the Star Force," Dragon sky explained.
"Star…Force?" He questioned, when his eyes widened and looked down at the pendant in front of him "My pendant?".
" Correct, while we were trapped in our gem form and we're connected into the satellites we had developed a plan, combining your planet's Share Energy and our Wave Energy to create the ultimate defense, the star force" Phoenix Future explained.
"You could've told us you were severely stealing Share Energy for this experiment" Histoire retorted, making the four admins sweatdrop.
" Y-Yes, we apologise for not informing you of our existence and of our planet, miss Histoire" Dragon sky apologised.
"Wait… if this was your ultimate weapon, then why did my mom have it?" Ryu asked.
" That is because we had sent the weapon to find someone with a similar EM frequency as itself causing it to look for you" Leo fire stated.
"Me?" Ryu said, honestly surprised.
" Correct, you are the one with the same frequency as Star Force as well as Omega-xis, the only AM-Ian left that is able to use the star force" Dragon sky nodded
" So please, will you help us save this world from the FM-Ian's invasion, so that it doesn't have the same fate as our own". Phoenix future pleaded.
Ryu looked down, to think about what he should do.
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
We see Purple Sister flying up into the air, as she aims her gun at the incoming Taurus Fire.
"Take this!" She yelled, firing at Taurus but she was surprised when Taurus Fire jumped up before crashing on the ground.
This caused him to come to a complete stop before he crossed his arms and blocked the attack.
As the smoke came off of his armored arms, he looked up at Purple Sister with an amused smirk.
"It's been a long time, little girl, why were you hiding this kind of power the last time we met?" Taurus Fire asked.
"I've grown a lot since the last time we fought! Let me show you!" Purple Sister Declared, before dashing towards Taurus Fire and beginning to slash at him.
The scene then moved back as the rest of the group began fighting the other FM-Ian warriors.
We start with Uni, who was currently trying to fire at the fast movements of Queen Ophiucha.
" Gorgon eyes!" Queen Ophiucha yelled, as she fired lasers at Uni who had to move out of the way before she took cover behind a Boulder.
"Don't think you can just take cover like that!" Queen Ophiucha said, as she took a stance.
" Quick serpent!" She said, as she was wrapped in a barrier before she dashed towards the rock making it explode.
Queen Ophiucha looked around trying to find where Uni was, who was mysteriously gone when she hit the rock "where did you…"
"Battle cards! Slot In! Fire ring!" She yelled, firing a powerful fire shaped ring at the FM-Ian which knocked her back.
Blues was using his shield to block the attack of the rampaging Wolf woods.
"You would betray your own race Scorpio? What's wrong with you" Wolf woods growled, before he was blasted back by Blues Buster.
"You guys put a shock collar on my Bro! I think this is good enough to pay back!" Scorpio said,as he slashed Wolf Woods with his claws forcing him to jump back.
"And because of that I was basically taken hostage for a month! I had to kidnap two kids and leave them towards a literal freak!" Blues yelled, blasting a powerful blast at Wolf woods which knocked him back.
"Garrooohh!" Wolf woods howled, as he dashed towards Blues who got ready for the fight.
Rom and Ram were both blocking the elemental attacks of Libra Scales.
" Fire Scales!" Libra Scales yelled, as he sent a fire themed after the two twin goddesses.
"Oh no you don't! Aqua!" Ram yelled, using her magic to summon a ball of water to douse the fire virus.
"How do you like this! Blizzard!" Ram said, as she sent an icy wind towards Libra scales.
However Libra Scales simply manoeuvred out of the way "Impressive for one's so young, but just try to defend from this!".
“Libra Swing!” He then began swinging around quickly moving closer and closer towards the two girls but then they rolled under him "What!".
" Battle card slot in! Missile!" They both yelled, as they sent a legion of missiles towards Libra Scales which exploded right in front of him knocking them back.
Lyra Note was currently dodging the thunder bolts being thrown at her by Crown Thunder.
"Be careful Aika! This guy's wild!" Lyra said, as Lyra Note flipped back
"Yeah! I can see that! Loving the pirate theme!” Lyra Note snickered, jumping back.
"Guess it's a better time than any to use this move!" She smirked, sending energy strings which wrapped around Crown Thunder's body.
"Hey! The heck you doing!" Crown thunder yelled, struggling to break free from the strings.
"Grrr, get her guys!" He yelled, sending several pirate themed viruses towards Lyra Note.
"Yeah, I don't think so… MACHINE GUN STRING!" She yelled, quickly strumming her guitar which sent a series of shock notes deleting the viruses and hitting Crown Thunder.
"Gaaah!" Crown Thunder yelled, being knocked back before moving back up "Grr, how dare you pull out a sword before dashing towards Lyra Note as she got ready.
And Compa and IF we're still fighting any virus that attempted to show up and interrupt the fight.
"Bukukukuku" Cancer Bubble laughed, as he looked down at the last two free fighters.
"Guess these two are for me! This is going to be fun BUKU!" He said, running towards the two girls when suddenly he tripped on a rock "Buku?".
"BBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKUUUUUUUU!" He screamed, as he began rolling down the hill extremely fast.
"Huh?" Compa blinked, looking over at the fallen down Cancer Bubble and running up to him "Huh? Oh are you okay"
"Compa? What are you doing" IF asked, looking over at her, but Compa just waved her off.
"It's fine, Iffy it’ll be okay” she assured her, before looking back at the FM-Ian.
"Now, are you okay?" Compa asked, helping Cancer Bubble up who was still dizzy.
"Buuu…kuuuu" Cancer Bubble slurred, dizzily before shaking his head and jumping back "Hey what do you think you're doing! Helping your enemy! Don't you know who I am! I'm the great Cancer Bu- Huh?".
Cancer Bubble stopped when he saw the beauty of Compa in front of him making Heart's appear in his eyes.
"Wow, what energy! Do you mind telling me your name?" Compa asked, as Cancer Buble nodded.
"C-Cancer Bubble" he said, shyly making Compa nod "I'm Compa, mind telling me if it hurts anywhere".
'Wow! She's even more beautiful than 5pb!' He thought about to tell her his name, when suddenly a foot kicked his face sending him flying.
"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING CRAB! COMPA'S MINE!" Pirachu yelled, surprising Compa.
"Oh Mr mousie? You're here too" Compa said, as Pirahcu smiled.
"Oh Compa! I missed you!" Pirachu ran up to Compa to hug her but then Cancer Bubble ran back up and pushed Pirachu back.
"Hey Rat! Compa's mine!" Cancer Bubble yelled, as the two growled at each other, before began to fight, literally making a dust cloud as they fought like in a cartoon.
"Come on! Stop fighting you two!" Compa pouted, as they froze in place "I can just check on both of you".
' Ooh Compa~' The two smiled happily, only to freeze when they saw Compa pulling out her weapon which was a gigantic syringe.
"Now… tell me where it hurts?" She asked, a nice smile growing on her face while a sinister aura appeared around her making Pirachu and Cancer Bubble gulp.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" The two screamed, running for their lives as Compa quickly rushed after them "Come back here and take your shots!".
"Geez, Compa's scary when she's serious" IF muttered, as she finished off another monster.
" Ox tackle!" Taurus Fire yelled, as he knocked Purple Sister into the air forcing her to stop in mid air "Heh, you should just give up!”
"We won't give up! Not after we've come so far!" Purple Sister declared as she slashed up at Taurus Fire knocking him back with the other sisters agreeing as they continued fighting as well.
We see the CPU's watching the battle going with a smile on their face.
"Nepgear!" Neptune grinned, happy to see her sister and the others arrived "She was able to transform! That's awesome!".
"Rom..., Ram..." Blanc muttered, surprised that her sisters came as well.
"Uni..." Noire smiled, surprised at how strong her sister had become in such a short time.
"Heh, what did I tell you? Those girls are stronger then you give them credit" Omega-xis smirked.
"Who are those other two?" Vert said, looking at Lyra Note and Blues "I know the red one, but I don't think I know the pink one".
"I think I saw her back when me and the others stalked Ryu and Aika on their date, Her name was Lyra Note right" Neptune replied, answering Vert's question
"Yeah! And why is the shit head who kidnapped Rom and Ram, are now helping them!" Blanc yelled.
"The first one's Lyra Note, she's the result of Lyra fusing with that Idol girl Aika Tadano" Omega-xis answered, as Neptune looked down surprised.
"Wait! That's Aika! no way!".
“As for the one, that’s Scorpio, a little snot from our planet and Jack, who’s one of Ryu Senpais. The two combined together in order to do the same thing as us. But he got tricked by Cygnus and was forced to work for him” Omega-xis explained, signaling to Cygnus in his Cygnus wing form.
"Oh… well now I just feel bad," Blanc frowned
"He must've been stuck like this for what? A month and a bit" Noire muttered, sympathising for Jack.
“Hah, I wouldn’t sympathise with him too much. I can tell, he’s after something and that’s why he worked with them” Omega-xis grinned, surprising the girls.
Meanwhile a good distance outside the prism, Arfoire and Cygnus Wing were watching the fight going on right now.
"Hmph, they're stronger then I expected" Cygnus wing scoffed, as Arfoire stretched.
"I think I might go out there, I could use the exercise," Arfoire smirked, walking on his head as Cygnus crossed his arms and continued watching.
However as this happened, from the distance we can see Ryu coming up from behind a boulder as he stared down at the prism.
'Okay Ryu, remember what the admins told you' Ryu thought, as he gripped four white battle cards and the Andromeda key in his hand as he thought back to what the satellite admins told him.
Flashback
"Okay! I'll do it" Ryu declared, as he looked at the four satellite admins.
"Neptune… Nepgear… Noire… Uni… Blanc… Rom… Ram… and Vert… they've all become a part of my family to me… so I want to be able to help them! No matter what" Ryu told them, making Histoire smile.
"Ryu…" Histoire mumbled being proud of Ryu, as the four admins nodded.
" Very well young Stellar" Phoenix Future nodded "Please walk up to the Star force".
Ryu nodded as he slowly walked up to the floating pendant in front of him.
" We shall now, transfer our left over remnants into the star force completing the ultimate weapon" Leo Kingdom stated, confusing Ryu.
"But wait… what about you guys?" Ryu questioned, looking up at the four AM-Ian's in front of him “What’s going to happen to all of you?”
"… After the transference is complete… our consciousness will cease to be…" Dragon Sky explained, shocking Ryu and Histoire.
"What!" The two gasped, completely shocked.
" We still have enough power to continue powering the satellites, but we will no longer be able to speak to you as you are now" Pegasus Magic explained, but Ryu just shook his head.
"NO! I can't let you sacrifice yourselves! You'll all die!" Ryu yelled, not wanting to take one's life for this power.
" We have already come to terms with this decision long ago," Dragon Sky told him, “We have lived for a very long time and we do not have much left in our live, please. Let us do this one last thing…”
"But!" Ryu cried looking up at aliens, but then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Ryu, it's their choice… and they've already chosen," Histoire told him, making Ryu look down.
"…Okay…".
" Very well, let us begin" Phoenix Future said, as they all turned towards the pendant.
" PEGASUS FREEZE!" Pegasus Magic yelled, sending a blue energy into the pendant and after a few minutes he disappeared much to the shock of Ryu and Histoire.
" DRAGON CYCLONE!" Dragon Sky yelled, sending a green energy into the pendant as he disappeared as well.
"LEO BLAZER!" Leo Kingdom yelled, sending a red energy into the pendant as he disappeared as well.
" PHOINEX BOLT!" Phoinex Future yelled, as he as well sent a golden energy into the pendant.
The pendant then began to spin around at incredible speeds as it began getting more and more cracks on its body before finally burst sending a wave of light blinding the two.
When their eyes recovered and looked over to see that the Ryu’s necklace now had an aura surrounding the pendant, which shifted from Blue, to Green, to Red, to White, to Black, to Yellow and to Purple.
"This… is the Star Force?" Ryu muttered, taking his Pendant back as the glow died down. “It was my pendant this whole time…but is it really that strong.”
"You may not feel it, but I'm feeling a tremendous amount of power coming from it" Histoire told him.
"Oh…" Ryu muttered, as he looked down at the planet below him "So… how am I meant to get down there?”
"I can teleport you straight down there, you should use the Andromeda key to try and free Neptune and the others" Histoire suggested to Ryu.
"Alright" Ryu nodded “I’m definitely going to save all of them, no matter what.”
"Good luck…your parents would be very proud of you" Histoire smiled, as Ryu nodded.
"Thanks… miss- no… Histy" Ryu nodded, as he was teleported away
Flashback end
"Okay…let's go" Ryu told himself, as he began sneaking towards the glowing prism
Meanwhile with the others.
We see the group were now being forced towards each other, as the battle against FM-Ian's got more intense.
"Oi! Nepgear, how much longer can you keep that form up?" Blues asked, looking over at Purple Sister who was starting to look more and more tired.
"I-I'm not sure, but I'll try to keep it up for as long as I can" she exclaimed, before they heard footsteps as all the FM-Ian's looked up.
"Good making it this far, Candidates, humans and…" Arfoire told them, looking at Blues and Lyra Note "Traitors".
"You! Who are you!" Nepgear asked, making Arfoire smirk.
"My name is Arfoire and I'll be the one to bring joyous tidings of chaos to this world ruled by those four young ladies" Arfoire introduced herself while motioning to the four goddesses.
"Why would you do this? What are you after?" Purple Sister asked.
"What I seek is a new system that doesn't need CPUs, a world where anyone can become a ruler." Arfoire declared.
"Wrong! You just want to rule the world yourself!" Lyra Note yelled, as Arfoire nodded.
"True, but if someone stronger than me shows up, they are free to knock me off the throne. That's how a world of equality works." She told them, as Blues raised an eyebrow.
"Might makes right, Huh?" Blues scoffed, before pointing his Buster up “Sounds to me like you're just jealous of the goddesses' powers!"
"There may have been a time when I felt that way," she paused, before waving her hand "But now, not anymore. Because..."
This caused the cables holding the four CPU's to begin shining causing them to scream out in pain.
Arfoire's eyes glowed crimson as she unleashed her full power. She jumped into the air, her outfit changing, turning into a single black bikini top, with a matching black bottom. She gained golden greaves, which glowed a brilliant crimson. She gained a half cape around her waist, and a pair of black wings on her back, with glowing spikes coming from the discs at the end. She let out a laugh as she pulled out a spear like weapon
"Witness the power of the Anti-CPU, it is thanks to your sisters that I have been able to gain this form!" She smirked.
"So that's what she needed that energy for" Taurus Fire snorted, as Queen Ophiucha crossed her arms "She certainly doesn't have any embarrassment does she".
"You! How dare you use our sister's powers!" Purple Sister yelled, as she dashed towards the now transformed Arfoire.
Arfoire smirked, as she lifted her weapon which morphed into a sword like Purple Heart's sword.
" Cross Combiniation!" She yelled, utilising Purple Heart’s technique to slash at Purple Sister sending her flying.
"What! That's Nep's move!" IF gasped, as Purple Sister stopped herself.
"How can you use that move?" Purple Sister growled, glaring at Arfooire making her grin.
"I made it possible!" She yelled, as her weapon changed to an axe and she dashed towards Purple sister.
" Tanzerin Trombe!" She yelled, using White Heart's move as she began battling Purple Sister, while the others began battling the FM-Ian's.
As this was happening we see Omega-xis looking at this whilst still being chained to the prism.
"Omega-xis" He heard, looking down to see Ryu much to his surprise.
"Ry-" "Ssssshhhh!"
"What are you doing here?" Omega-xis whispered, as Ryu looked up at him.
"I'm here to help…" he said while taking out the Andromeda key much to Omega-xis shock "But before I do that… I need to know… what actually happened to my parents.”
Omega-xis looked away at this, and Ryu could now see the pain in the Aliens eyes.
"I already told you I-" "I already know you didn't kill them, please just tell me".
Omega-xis looked at Ryu surprised, but soon sighed when he saw Ryu's serious look "Alright… I'll tell you".
"The king of Planet FM… king Cepheus was just a recent king and he was worried about everything so when he got the message from the Elysium he didn't understand its language and thought it was a declaration for war so he sent us to attack it".
"When we had captured the ship, our king took a long time to decide what to do with our prisoners, and during that time I had gotten to know your father and mother" he said, starting to smile "They were really weird, but I had to admit I enjoyed my time with them. One thing they wouldn't shut up about, was your"
"When the king decided to use the Andromeda key to destroy them… I decided to try and save them by turning them into EM waves" he said, making Ryu's eyes widen.
"You… tried to save them…" Ryu mumbled, as Omega-xis nodded.
"Yeah… but doing this… sent their waves all across the universe… I have no idea where they are now" he explained, looking down, "I'm sorry… they were the first people I didn't want to die… I just… couldn't…" Omega-xis said, struggling to speak.
"Omega-xis… it's alright" Ryu smiled "I forgive you".
"Ryu…" Omega-xis muttered, as Ryu lifted the Andromeda key to use its power to free him and the Goddesses… but then.
"Oh no you don't!" Cygnus yelled, stabbing his hand through Ryu's chest.
“GUUUAAAHH!” Ryu screamed out in pain before spitting out some blood.
"Ah…ah…ah…" Ryu struggled to speak, as he looked down at the hand going through his chest before puking out blood.
"RYU! NOOOOO!!!!!" Omega-xis screamed, catching everyone's attention as they looked over only to be shocked at the sight.
"NO! RYU!" "H-How could he!" "When did he get here?" "I-Is he" the four goddesses gasped.
"N-No…" Lyra Note muttered, falling onto her knees tears welling up into her eyes.
"Mr Ryu…" "Dummy…" Rom and Ram whispered, at the same time.
"That… bastard…" Uni frowned, shocked.
"He would go this far," Jack growled, as Scorpio looked down.
"No…NO!" Purple Sister frowned as she began dashing towards Cygnus wing but Arfoire moved in front of her.
"Oh no you don't!" Arfoire said,as she slashed at Purple Sister knocking her back.
"We're not stopping our fight just because some brat died!" Arfoire spat out, as Purple Sister looked up.
"You'll pay!" She screamed, wildly slashing at Arfoire as the others continued battling as well.
"Hmph" Cygnus wing huffing, taking the Andromeda key before flying up, throwing Ryu's body into the ocean next to the island "Just stay dead, you nuisance".
"How dare you…" Omega-xis growled, as he looked up at Cygnus wing pure rage on his face "HOW DARE YOU!".
Omega-xis' began dashing towards the direction Ryu crashed but the chains stopped him.
This didn't stop Omega-xis however, as he continued pushing himself, using all of his strength and he eventually was able to break the chains freeing himself before he dashed towards Ryu's body.
"FINALLY!" Cygnus Wing yelled, as he flew up to the air "Finally I have the Andromeda key!".
The key began shining more and more before it sent a light into the air which flashed, becoming bigger and bigger before forming into a gigantic weapon.
The weapon could easily be described as a giant red face with glowing yellow eyes and antennae-like horns. It had clawed fingers for a mouth and behind them were dull bony teeth. Grey, blade like-whiskers stretched across both sides of its face. Yellow rune markers were seen on the finger-mouth and a black plate covered the back-half of its face.
The appearance of the weapon caused everyone to freeze as they all looked up.
"That's… Andromeda!" Arfoire gasped, as Purple Sister gulped.
"I've only heard about it from Omega-xis" she muttered, in completely awe
"It looks so scary!" Rom gulp, as Ram hugged her sister "I'll protect you Rom!".
"I don't think we can defeat something like that," Uni frowned.
"What is he thinking bringing that out! Our mission was just to get the key back! Not to destroy the planet!" Libra Scales yelled
"Such power… I need to use it…" Cygnus Wing muttered, his eyes glowing purple as he was mesmerised by the glow of the Andromeda key.
"I must use it!" He declared, making Andromeda look down at the group.
"Cygnus, what are you doing! We never agreed on you destroying the planet!" Arfoire yelled, as Andromeda began charging up energy
"Quick! Everyone move!" IF yelled, as everyone began fleeing with the FM-Ian's moving up to the wave road to watch the blast while Arfoire flew up.
Andromeda soon fired a gigantic beam, sending the blast towards the earth which soon changed direction and dashed towards them.
Everyone was shocked at the apparent end but then.
"Quick everyone! But up a barrier!" Blues yelled, as they used several barrier cards to block the blast.
However even the power of several barriers didn't have the power to block the energy of Andromeda with each barrier beginning to shatter one by one, as the beam got closer and closer to the group,but before the last barrier shattered Blues and Scorpio ran to block the attack.
"Jack! Scorpio! What are you doing" Uni yelled, as Blues's armour began breaking apart.
"I already caused you all enough pain! I’m not gonna let you guys get hurt again!” Blues told them “After all! All of you are just kids! Its the Senpai’s job to protect the Kouhai!”
"Yeah! Aniki’s right! Now get out of here!" Scorpio yelled, as they were about to be blown back but Lyra Note grabbed him.
"I got you" Lyra Note said, helping him to push forward.
"Thanks! Now let’s go!" Blues growled, as they continued pushing back the beam but it was clear that it wasn’t helping much.
"No way! They're all going to die!" Neptune gasped, watching this going down.
"If only we can break free of these damn cables!" Noire yelled, struggling to break free.
When she finished her sentence the black liquid began moving up quickly, Vert was soon submerged into the Anti-Energy and lost consciousness and Blanc was the next victim as she drowned in the ominous energy.
"Vert! Blanc!" The two goddesses yelled, as they struggled to move away from the liquid.
Soon Blues and Lyra Note were blown back as the energy blast dissipated. Their forms were shattering, as they fell to the ground.
"Jack!" "Aika!" Everyone in the group said, as they ran up to their new friends.
"Ugh, everything hurts" Jack grunted, as he looked at his partner to see his body was glitching "Scorpio, are you okay?".
"Yeah A-Aniki, j-Just need to rest".
"Lyra…" Aika gasped, looking over at her partner who’s body was glitching “Y-You’re hurt.”
Lyra however shook her head and looked at Aika "Don't worry about me, worry about yourself!".
"What will we do against that kind of power?" Uni said, looking down as the FM-Ian's and an army of viruses began marching towards them.
"I-I don't…" Purple Sister said, looking down before noticing something in this distance before looking up.
"What! How is that-" Purple Sister gasped, as everyone else looked up as well and were just as shocked.
"Cygnus!" Arfoire screamed, as she flew towards Cygnus' wing "What do you think you're doing! You almost killed me!".
"I-I don't know, it was like the Andromeda was controlling me, but it looks like it will need time to charge up energy for another attack".
"Good! Then finish them off when it's ready to go!" Arfoire commanded before, she floated down to Neptune who was the last goddess left as Noire was submerged as well.
"I feel sort of bad for you Neptune… that you don't get to see your dear sister's end!" Arfoire laughed, as Neptune glared at her "Any last word's! Dear goddess".
Neptune was about to talk but then she noticed something behind Arfoire "Why's the ocean glowing gold?".
"What?" Arfoire blinked, confused as she and Cygnus turned around to see that Neptune was right; the ocean was glowing gold.
"What… is that" Cygnus wing questioned, confused before his eyes widened in shock at sensing the energy "That energy… it can't be!"
"Can't be what!" Arfoire demanded to know.
"It's the energy of our sister planet… the AM-Ian's" Cygnus Wing muttered.
A few minutes earlier
In the ocean we see Ryu slowly falling deeper and deeper in the cold, dark abyss that is the ocean.
'Is this it… is this the end…' Ryu thought, as he continued to fell 'It hurts so much… and I feel…so tired…'.
"Ryu!" He heard, as he slowly looked up to see Omega-xis diving towards him.
'Omega-xis… he freed himself to save me…?' Ryu thought, a small smile growing on his face.
'But… I don't think… I can go on… much longer' he said, his eyes getting harder and harder to stay open.
'I guess… this is… goodbye…' he said, beginning to drift off but then.
'NO!' he thought, struggling to move, 'I can't just die! I need to save Neptune and the others! And help Nepgear and the others! What am I doing!'
Ryu then reached for Omega-xis as he'd reached for him
'Let's do this Omega-xis!' He thought, as his star force began shining as he engulfed in a ball of golden light.
" STAR BREAK! PROGRESS OF PLANEPTUNE! THUNDER PHOINEX! ON AIR! "
"This power! Its so…overwhelming! But, why does it feel so familiar!" Omega-xis questioned, as he was engulfed in the bright light.
(Play Time judged all from Kamen rider ooo)
Everyone watched as the ocean began glowing brighter and brighter until a cyclone of golden energy erupted from the water.
The energy of the cyclone was absorbing the energy in the air, sucking up the Share Energy which was causing the wave road to become once again invincible to humans.
The cyclone then stopped spinning until it was one golden ball, which soon unfolded revealing it was a gigantic golden phoenix.
"That frequency! It's the leader of the AM-Ian wisemen?! Phoenix Future?!" Cygnus Wing gasped, shocking the other FM-Ian's
"W-What is this power!" Arfoire screamed, as Neptune was mesmerised by the energy.
"It's… so… cool…" Neptune smiled, excitedly as she too was submerged by the liquid.
" CCCCCAAAAAWWWW!" The phoenix screamed, as it flapped its wings sending a pulse of energy knocking everyone back as it flew around the battlefield.
The sheer energy coming from the phoenix caused great winds with the people, aliens and viruses down below barely able to keep standing.
“NO! I refuse to allow this to be the end! GET THEM!” Cygnus Wing yelled, commanding the vast army of Viruses to rush the Phoenix.
However as the phoenix flew over the viruses, sending down strikes of thunder deleting every virus in the area.
The phoenix then landed in between the FM-Ian's and the Candidates, as its body shined before morphing down into a more humanoid.
"Ryu?!" The others gasped shocked as they saw Rockman’s new forms.
His main body was a white colour with purples going down his sides. He had golden armour on the boots arms and chest, which stretched out to the shoulders revealing wings that acted like a cape. Omega-xis's head now resembled that of a phoenix with a sharpened beak. His helmet was now a golden coloured resembling that of a bird with his hair changing to help with that distinction.
"Ryu… this power…" Omega-xis asked shocked "What is this power!".
"It's almost like you've become a CPU?" Uni muttered, looking at his arm “I can even sense Share energy coming off of you! How can you human do this!
"You see, this is the power of Wave and Share energy coming together, a unity between both worlds…this is the Star Force" Rockman explained, before looking over at IF and Compa
"IF and Compa, you two get the others to safety, especially Aika, Jack, Scorpio and Lyra. Nepgear take Arfoire and leave all of these guys to me" he told the, before turning over to the FM-Ians staring them down
"What! You can't take all of these guys on your own!" Uni yelled, as Rockman turned to them.
“Yeah! We wanna beat up those guys too!” “We really wanna save our sisters” Ram and Rom said, but this just annoyed Rockman
"JUST GO! You guys have already done a lot! And you can barely stand!" He yelled, scaring the others
The group slowly nodded and walked away to get to safety as Purple Sister moved up next to Ryu “Ryu, are you okay?”
“S-Sorry… It's hard to control my emotions like this.” Ryu apologised before turning over to Purple Sister "Nepgear, go… you need to help Arfoire and save the others before it's too late.”
"What do you mean?" She asked, as Rockman pointed to the prism.
"That liquid… if the goddesses stay in there too long they'll get all of their energy drained out of them and they’ll perish, I'll keep these guys busy so quickly you need to go".
“Wait, they’re alive!” Purple Sister gasped, “Okay, but you better stay safe…”
Rockman watched Purple Sister flying towards the Prism before he looked down to the FM-Ians.
"Hah! You think you can beat us! Just because you've got flashy armour?" Taurus Fire mocked, as Rockman smirked and entered a fighting stance .
"Oh, I know I can," he said, before he dashed towards the FM-Ian's to begin the fight.
As this was happening, we see Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc floating in a seemingly endless black space confused as they looked around.
' W-What's going on?' Neptune blinked, as she looked around the place.
' I-I don't know, Are we dead?' Noire questioned, checking her body.
' I think this might be the last of the Share Energy we have left' Vert guessed, noticing the energy aura around their bodies.
' Then we probably won't be here for much longer' Blanc sighed, looking down.
' No! We can't be thinking that! We have to believe in the others' Vert told her, but Noire also looked down.
' You didn't see that weapon they had… even if the others could transform, I doubt they can survive power like that' Noire said.
' Not only that, but Ryu's dead… they're out numbered and out powered… I don't think they can last much longer' Blanc said, a frown on her face.
' NO! You guys are wrong!' Neptune told them, as everyone looked up at her 'Before I was submerged, I saw a beam of light coming from the ocean! I know that's Ryu, he’s got some crazy new power! I know that all of them together are gonna kick major butt!'
' Heh, your positivity is seriously annoying' Noire said, as they all moved to each other.
"Alright...I suppose there's nothing left we can do...but put our faith in them.' With that, they all held each other's hands and waited with hope that they'll be saved.
Back outside on the battlefield we see all the FM-Ian's attacking Rockman however thanks to speed he was easily able to dodge the attack, leaving a stream of energy as he moved.
"GAROOH!" Wolf Woods howled, moving up behind Rockman and attempting to slash at the hero however with impressive speed he dodged the attack.
“HAH!” He yelled, as he then followed this by dashing towards Wolf woods and stabbed into his stomach with Omega-xis beak.
"Gaaah!" Wolf woods cringed, before Rockman moved back and followed this with a round house kick knocking him back.
"Oi! What the heck do you think you're doing! Don't just use me like that!" Omega-xis yelled, as Ryu sweatdropped.
"Sorry, your beak’s pretty sharp so I thought it'd work".He then looked over at the other FM-Ian's as he ended a running stance.
" Havoc Bolt!" .
Moving as fast as lighting, Rockman dashed towards the FM-Ian's and attacked each and every one of them.
Omega-xis then charged up a blast as Rockman punched the ground, sending a wave of energy knocking the FM-Ian’s into their air.
“Damn it, we need to change our strategy!” Queen Ophiucha growled, as they disappeared onto the wave roads.
“Oh no you don’t! I’m not letting you get away!” Rockman yelled, as he extended his wings and chased after them.
Meanwhile, we see Purple Sister and Arfoire continuing to battle, with Arfoire using Green Hearts spear before a magical Glyph appeared.
“How about this! SPEAR METEOR!" she yelled, as hundreds of spears began shooting out of the Glyph towards Purple Sister.
“Now Vert’s move!” she gasped, using the gun to fire at all of the spear before they could hit her.
“HAH!” Purple Sister yelled, dashing close to Arfoire and attempting to deliver a punch, but Arfoire dodged the attack before moving behind and delivering a kick sending the CPU Candidate crashing towards the ground.
"Miss Nepgear!" Purple Sister heard, as she stood back up seeing Rom and Ram running up to her.
"G-Get out of here! This is too much for you" Purple Sister told them, but the twins shook their heads.
"No! We wanna help you!" "Yeah!" The two said, pulling out their staff as they looked at Arfoire.
"Hey! Stop bullying Miss Nepgear!" Rom said, as Ram nodded "Yeah! Get out of here old lady!".
"Old lady!" Arfoire growled, as she waved her hand "Why don't you go run off back to kindergarten you toddler CPU's!".
Rom and Ram glared at her as an aura surrounded their bodies.
"I... hate her" "Yeah, me too" "You and I..." "Let's beat her up!"
Linking each other's hands, Rom and Ram channeled Share Energy into themselves as they began to transform.
“ACCESS!” They yelled, as their bodies exploded in a bright light.
Their CPU forms looked similar to each other, except for their hair and eyes, Rom's being blue and Ram's being pink but their hair styles were similar. Their outfits were exactly the same, white plugsuits, with see through cloth around the navel. Ram's had pink accents while Rom's was blue. Matching boots and gloves appeared on them, both of them summoned their new staves, holding them tightly in their hands
“What! More of them!” Arfoire growled, as Rhombus shaped wings appeared on their backs, as they aimed their staves at Arfoire.
"We're going to defeat you! Ice Coffin!" they chanted in unison, a large chunk of ice flew outward, slamming Arfoire in the face. The twins zoomed forward, throwing spell after spell at the witch, forcing her to start flying around.
"Rom… Ram…" Purple Sister smiled, as she soon joined the others.
Back on the wave road we see Ryu dodging the attack of Taurus Fire and Wolf Woods, as he jumps back.
"Damn it! If only we can stop them from moving!" Omega-xis yelled, but Rockman smirked.
"Actually we can," he said, flipping back before crossing his arms.
" Star Break! Fantasy of Lowee! Ice Pegasus! On air!"
Rockman's body was encased in a cyclone of ice cold wind before it dispersed revealing his new form, Rockman Ice Pegasus.
"Alright! Now it's showtime!" Rockman declared as he took flight into the air.
"Ryu! We can change form" Omega-xis gawked, looking at his new forms as they dodged the FM-Ian’s attacks.
"Bingo! Now take this! Magicians freeze!" He yelled, creating two glyphs that appeared underneath Taurus and Wolf woods.
“Huh?!” “WHAT!” The two gawked, watching as the glyph shined which shot out ice magic that froze the two FM-Ian's in place before Rockman rushed in slashed the ice block shattering the two warriors returning them to their EM forms before they retreated
"What! That looks like Pegasus Magic!" Libra Scales gasped shocked.
“Damn it! He must be able to swap through all the forms!" Queen Ophiucha growled.
“Fire Scale!” “Gorgon Eyes!” They yelled, as the two of them began throwing blasts at the now air born hero.
Meanwhile, back at the ground we see Uni watching the fight going on between Arfoire, Purple Sister and the two White Sisters.
"I can't believe this crap...I'm the only one who can't transform...what the hell am I so scared of?" Uni muttered. She took aim at Arfoire, her gun shaking as she did. She tried to aim at her wings, but was rapidly losing focus.
'Damn it, focus...you can't keep missing each shot...what am I so scared of?' she asked herself, taking a deep breath. She pulled the trigger back, missing her target entirely.
She growled angrily as she exchanged her magazine for a new one. Her gaze moved to the prism.
'Noire's in there! I have to do this for her. I have to show that I'm- Ah!' Her eyes then widened in realisation.
'That's it...that's why I'm so scared.'
'I'm so scared of Noire judging me that I can't even focus straight. I need to stop living in my sister's shadow and focus on myself. I don't need her approval, I only need my own!" she thought, her eyes flashing a brilliant green as her hair started curling black, slowly turning white as she held her gun tightly.
" EX Multi Blaster!" she shouted, the large brilliant beam struck Arfoire dead on, destroying all of the spikes around her wings.
When the light cleared, everyone looked back at the newly transformed Uni. with the Two White sistes letting out a cheer.
"Wow Uni, that attack was badass!” “And you even transformed!" The two White Sisters smiled, happily which confused Uni.
"Huh? What are you Huh?!" She gasped, looking at her transformation into Black sister.
Black Sister's hair stays in pigtails but becomes white and curls up while her eyes become a bright green similar to Noire's. She was wearing a full black bodysuit with matching black detached-sleeves and thigh-high boots.
"This… is me?" Black Sister said, looking at her body.
“Yeah! You look so cool Uni! I’m so happy for you” Purple Sister smiled.
‘Well…could be better…’ Black Sister frowned, looking at her now flat chest before shaking her head.
‘No, don’t focus on that right now” Black Sister shook her head before she looked up with a determined look as she flew over to join her fellow candidates in the battle against Arfoire.
Meanwhile we see Rockman dodging the lighting bolts of Crown Thunder as he tries to get close to the skeleton FM-Ian.
However suddenly Ophiucha Queen coiled around him from behind keeping him in place.
"Crown! I got him! Now use your attack!" She yelled as Rockman looked at her.
"I don't think so!" Omega-xis yelled, as Rockman aimed and shot a frosty breath at her.
“GAH!” she cringed, as Rockman froze her eyes forcing her to let go of him allowing Rockman to jump back.
"Gotta change things up" he said, as he crossed his arms.
" Star Break! Beauty of Leanbox! Hurricane Dragon! On air!"
The two of them were then engulfed in a green cyclone before it dispersed into his Hurricane dragon.
He then began blasting at the Queen Ophiucha who growled, before quickly moving out of the way of his attack.
"So… it's Dragon Sky next Huh?" She scoffed, as she landed on another wave road.
"Ryu! Quickly we need to finish this!" Omega-xis said, as Rockman nodded as he spread his arms.
"ELEMENTAL CYCLONE!" he yelled, as he began spinning so fast it created a large tornado which caught Queen Ophiucha.
"What!" She gasped, as she was thrown around violently before tossed towards her towards Crown Thunder shocking the two and forcing them back in to their EM forms before flying off
"Phew" he sighed, as he turned to Cancer Bubble and Libra Scales on the wave road above him who were looking pretty worried.
“Cancer, we have two good options. Either A: Run away! Or B: Retreat!” Libra Scales said, making Cancer Bubble.
“No way! Like hell I’m running away from Rockman!” Cancer Bubble yelled.
"You should listen to them. Leave now, and I won't have to hurt you guys" Rockman told them but before they could respond.
"So you've come back from the dead Rockman!" he heard, looking up to see Cygnus Wing who had a mad grin whilst holding the Andromeda key.
"I see you and your parents' killer have made up, Aw how cute and how does it feel knowing your helping your parents murde-" "WILL YOU SHUT UP!"
"W-What" Cygnus blinked, as Rockman and Omega-xis glared at him.
"I already know that Omega-xis didn't kill my parents! He tried to save them! I was an idiot for ever believing a single word you said!" Rockman yelled.
"Grr! Let's see you talk all big when the city of Leanbox is blown to bits!" Cygnus Wing declared, as he began charging up energy into the Andromeda.
"Wait! What!" "What are you doing Buku! You'll kill 5pb.!".
"Ryu! You better stop him quickly or thousands will be killed" Omega-xis told him.
"Yeah you’re about that, and I got just the thing" Rockman nodded, before crossing his arms.
" STAR BREAK! PRIDE OF LASTATION! FIRE LEO! ON AIR!"
Rockman was then engulfed in a tornado of flames before it dispersed revealing him in his Leo Fire form.
He then pointed Omega-xis at Cygnus Wing, as he began charging up a large amount of energy into his mouth.
The energy was not just comprised of the Wave energy around them but also the Share energy of the people of Gamindustri.
"Take this! All of our power! The power of those you've killed! And of the people of Gamindustri!" Rockamn declared. " ATOMIC BLAZER!"
“RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Rockman and Omega-xis roared, firing a powerful energy beam towards the three FM-Ian's.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Libra and Cancer screamed, as they were forced back to their EM forms before flying off.
"NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Cygnus Wing screamed, as his entire body was destroyed crumbled to pieces “I CANNOT LOSE!!!!!”
Cygnus Wing then dove into the beam as he drove his hand towards the two of them “ROOOOOOCCCCKKKKMMMMAAAANNNN!!!!!!!!!”
“HAAAHHH!” Rockman yelled, as they fired more energy into the beam completely eradicating Cygnus Wing and causing him to drop the Andromeda Key.
Meanwhile we see Arfoire had crashed down towards the prism holding the CPU's, as she looked up at the Candidates floating in front of them
"How! How do you have this much power! You're not even true CPU's!" she yelled, glaring at the four CPU candidates.
"That was your first mistake! You underestimate our power and our love for our sisters" Purple sister told them, as they readied their final attacks.
" EX MULTIBUSTER!"
" ICE COFFIN!"
" DISSAPEAR! CELESTIAL SEVERENCE!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Arfoire screamed, as she was engulfed in the final attacks of the four sisters which not only engulfed her but the prism as well, destroying it.
As the smoke cleared, Arfoire was nowhere to be seen… but also, the Goddesses were nowhere to be seen as well.
"No! Were we too late!" Purple Sister gulped, as she looked around "Neptune! Neptune! Where are you!"
“Noire! Noire, you have to be safe!” Black Sister called out.
“Blanc!” “Where are you!” The two White sisters yelled.
“Neptune…did I fail you…” Purple Sisters whispered, as tears welled up in the candidates eyes, she worried for her sister's safety… but then.
"Right here, Nepgear."
Instinctively, Purple Sister looked up and saw the CPUs in their goddess forms, alive and well.
"Blanc!" The White Sister twins cried, and flew to their sister, hugging her in the process.
"I missed you so much!" Ram cried, hugging her sister tightly
"Thank goodness!" Rom cried, as tears streamed down her face
"I made you worry, I’m sorry about…" White Heart apologized, whilst embracing her sisters.
“Noire…” Black Sister whispered, looking up at her sister before looking down with a sad expression "Sorry I took so long…if only I was better…”
"What are you apologizing for?” She heard, looking up at Black Sister smiling at her with a like of pride “Look at how you've grown, I’m so proud of you…I’ve always been.”
“Noire…NOIRE!” The younger sister cried, flying up and hugging her older sister earnestly, almost intending never to let go again
"Neptune…you see... I... I...," Purple Sister stuttered, as Purple Heart flew down to her “I’ve been lying to you…I…I should have…”
"You did well, Nepgear.” Purple Heart smiled, pulling her sister into her embrace. “From now on, I'll always be with you,"
The sun rose and the ambiance was lighthearted, as we see IF and Compa walking up to them scene while carrying the still wounded Jack and Aika.
Purple Sister noticed that Green Heart was looking rather lonely, “Vert…”
“Heh, what are you waiting for?” Purple Heart asked, looking at her sister who blinked before nodding.
"Huh?" Green Heart blinked, as Purple Sister flew in and embraced the Goddess of Leanbox as well.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she accepted the embrace "Thank you… Nepgear".
"Sheesh, this is just for today Ver- Huh?" Purple Heart blinked, noticing something on the ground “Well, well, well…”
We see Rockman, still in his Leo Fire form as he picks up the Andromeda key.
"I had planned to use this as a possible way to get away if things get bad, but seeing it's power first hand it's better if this was destroyed" Omega-xis said, moving in and biting into the orb releasing the energy inside.
“Yeah, this is definitely for the best,” Rockman nodded, throwing the Andromeda Key as far as he could and taking a deep breath "It's finally over,"
Ryu smiled, as he reverted back to normal before letting go of the breath and smiling as he watched the rising sun.
Ryu then felt Omega-xis poking his shoulder as he looked over and saw Omega-xis pointing his thumb to something behind them.
“Huh?” Ryu blinked as he turned around only to see Purple Heart with an angry expression “N-Neptune!”
"Ryu.. you lied to us for months, not telling anyone that you were in fact Rockman this entire time! Not only that…you even got Nepgear involved with this! How could you do something like that!”
"N-Neptune, I-I'm sorry I-I just didn't wan-" "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Purple Heart yelled, her face getting more serious.
"I'm sorry! I-I…" he cried and closing his eyes “I-I don’t know what I was thinking! I should have told you I just- huh,”
Ryu blinked and opened his eyes, seeing that he was being hugged by Purple Heart, with his head resting in her arms.
“Neptune?” he blinked, looking up at Purple Heart's smiling face.
"It’s Big Sis now mister… we’re your family now…after all" she smiled, making tears well up in his eyes.
“Neptune…” he muttered before smiling and hugging her back "Thank you… big sis"
A few weeks later
Ristar park.
Third person P.O.V.
After the CPU's were saved it was a bit tricky for them to fix up and regain the shares their nations had lost after they were captured, so each of the Goddesses did something different.
Vert had released her Manect to the public, and it had surprisingly done pretty well with some people calling it the 'perfect immersive experience'.
Blanc, Rom and Ram released a special food called Lowee Manju and it has become a hit with people lining up from all over Gamindustri to get some.
Noire and Uni did a load of monster hunting quests, and now have a lot more shares then they had lost.
As for Planeptune, well apparently there were several Planeptune streamers filming the fight and seeing me, Nepgear and the others trying so hard to save the CPU's, This gave Planeptune a load of shares and now their back to where they were.
Aika and 5pb. started their next concert together, but now Aika's thinking of starting up acting. I wonder how that will turn out.
Jack managed to join his graduation and his left school, now he and Scorpio are sort of like vigilantes fighting against viruses that Satellite police can't handle themselves
"And even after all that, we're just sitting here eating a picnic" IF sighed, as Omega-xis, IF, Compa, Neptune, Nepgear and Ryu sat down in Ristar park at night.
"I would've thought you would've been happy to do work after what you've been through," IF frowned looking over at Neptune who just waved her hand.
"You kidding Iffy, why would I wanna be stuck doing work all day when I could hang out on a beautiful night like this with my favorite Bro and Sis, my best buds and our pet!" Neptune grinned which annoyed Omega-xis.
"HEY! WHO YOU CALLING PET!" He growled, now being visible after Nepgear made an update to Ryu’s Transer.
"Ooh Ryu! What's this constellations" Nepgear asked,looking into a Telescope they had brought along with them.
"That's Orion, apparently he's meant to be a great warrior," Ryu explained, as Nepgear nodded as the two of them studied the constellations together.
"Come on Iffy, Nep-Nep needs her rest! Besides you gotta admit this is a really nice night" Compa smiled, she placed down the dinner she had brought with them.
"Yeah, I guess you've got a point there” IF blushed, scratching her cheek.
However as they were enjoying their star gazing, a set of quick footsteps caught their attention as they all turned around and saw another person running up from behind them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" A little girl smiled, pointing at them.
"Huh?" We blinked, seeing a short girl with strawberry blonde hair with large red hair bobbles and cerulean blue eyes. Her clothes consist of a one piece short jumpsuit with a bee-like design accompanied with star designs on the lower half and also on the sleeves. She wears large red shoes and boxing gloves in the shape of cat paws.
"You know this kid?" Neptune asked, as we all shook our heads.
"COMPA! IF!" she said, excitedly much to our surprise “You're big!”
"Who in Gamindustri are you?" IF said, surprised.
"How do you know our names?” Compa asked, turning her head.
"Hehehehehehe" she smiled, a big grin on her face.
Zune district
Third person P.O.V.
We see the leftover remains of the Andromeda key on the ground, that is until an armored hand pinked it up.
"Heh, they really did a number on this thing didn't they?" The person said, as we Gemini Black examined the weapon "Though, looks like it could be fixed up but it's gonna be a bitch to refuel it".
"I can't believe Ryu was actually Rockman," Gemini White muttered, looking down with a sad look on her face.
"Don't tell me you're gonna start going soft on him, are ya? Rei" Gemini Black asked, but Gemini White shook her head.
"No, I'm not going to give up on my ambition. I'll save this world from the collapse the CPU’s are bringing…even if Rockman gets in our way" she said, gripping her hand.
Chapter 17: A Girl called Peashy
Chapter Text
Zune District
Third person P.O.V.
Within the destroyed island of Zune district we see a large abandoned building which still had the technology inside.
As we look within the building we find the surviving FM-Ian's who were all trying to communicate with their planet.
"Planet FM! Planet FM! Respond" Ophiucha tried to say, only to get static as a response.
"Damn it! Somebody send us a message! We need orders" Wolf yelled, getting annoyed.
"Hmm, perhaps we should try and connect to the Wave road!" Libra suggested, as he went to check while Taurus slammed his hand on the computer.
"Shit! What are we supposed to do now" Taurus growled, not sure what they were meant to do.
"We can't make any contact with our home planet" Crown friend as Libra checked the computer.
"The wave road won't connect either, this system is too old, so we can't get back" Libra frowned.
"Damn that Cygnus! This is all his fault" Taurus yelled, punching his palm.
"It's no use putting the blame on him when he's gone" Crown sighed, shaking his head.
"Shut the fuck up!" Taurus yelled, only for Ophiucha to glare at him.
"You're the one who should shut up" Ophiucha said, as Taurus floated to her.
"What? Are you picking a fight?".
"Quit it! All of you" Libra said, trying to calm everyone down "This is no time to be arguing"..
"Ahem".
"Huh?" They blinked, as they all looked back to see Cancer walking up.
"Leave everything in my capable hands buku" Cancer said, a proud smirk on his face.
"…Besides, all of you were acting as you goddamn pleased during the fight! It's no surprise the computers would be damaged!" Wolf yelled.
"That's because no one was following me!" Taurus yelled.
"It's because you wouldn't listen to my orders" Crown roared
"What orders? We all just did our own things" Ophiucha yelled "You all lack composure".
"It was our balance that was off you hear! Our balance" Libra yelled.
"OI! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" Cancer yelled, as Taurus flew infront of him.
"What the hell do you want? Last time I checked you were taken out by a rat and a human that looked like she couldn't hurt a marshmallow!".
"T-That was because of the human form! Nothing else" he said "Anyway L-Look at this!".
Cancer then pulled out something that shocked the others, the andromeda key which now looked like a glass bottle with a cork at the top.
"Hey, that's the…" Taurus gasped, making Cancer laugh.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! That's right! The Andromeda key!" he declared
"But the Andromeda key was destroyed by Rockman," Ophiucha gasped. "How did you get your hands on it!"
"I had gathered up the fragments and managed to repair it as you can clearly see, buku" Cancer smirked.
"You were able to do that?!" Crown blinked in surprise. "I suppose this planet is quite advanced."
"That's right! Further proof you shouldn't underestimate the great Cancer Buku!" he laughed.
"Hey give me a look" Wolf said, as Cancer handed him the Key.
As they all looked at the key, Cancer thought back to how he actually got the key.
Flashback.
"Aww…" Cancer said, as he sat on the beach part of the island, large masses of garbage and rubble around him "Now I'm nothing more than a regular crab…buku…"
"What should I do now buku!" Cancer cried, tears streaming down his face.
"I suggest you use this" he heard, looking behind him to see the two Gemini's, with Gemini Black holding something in his hand.
"Th-That's the Andromeda key!" Cancer gasped, "How were you able to get it! I thought Rockman destroyed it!"
Gemini Black smirked at that, as he showed off the key "An acquaintance of my host that we've been working with managed to repair it".
"That's amazing buku!" Cancer smiled, taking the key,
"So if you use this to activate Andromeda we can complete our mission" Gemini Black told him before frowning "But there's one issue."
"What is it? Buku" Cancer asked, turning his head.
"When Rockman destroyed it, it released all of the energy contained inside" Gemini White explained "You and the other FM-Ian's will need to charge thought with a certain type of energy,"
"And what kind of energy is that?" Cancer asked, as Gemini Blacks smirked.
"It's called Negative Share Energy, which can be gathered when humans are filled with feelings such as anger, sorrow and fear which they release similar to this planet's Share Energy".
The two Gemini's turned around surprising Cancer "Wait…where are you two going?".
"Oh we have some other business to take care of on this planet" Gemini Black said, as the two turned into energy before flying off.
End of Flashback
"This certainly looks like the real thing," Wolf said, handing it to Taurus, who noticed something.
"Wait a minute! It's empty inside" Taurus pointed out, taking a closer look at it.
"Well it was cracked, so it's no surprise that the energy left it" Libra told him, as Taurus looked at him.
"Yeah but without the energy it's useless to us" Taurus huffed, crossing his arms.
"You all are truly idiots aren't y-GAH!" Cancer yelled, as Taurus punched him towards the wall.
"Now now, what was that for?" Crown said, as Taurus scoffed,
"He was getting a big attitude! It was pissing me off."
"We should at least be fair and hear him out" Libra said, helping Cancer back up.
"Listen up! There is a certain type of energy that the Andromeda Key needs for its power buku!" Cancer said, remembering what Gemini told him "That power is the Negative Share energy coming from humans!".
"We know that, '' Ophiucha said, bluntly.
"The reason we're having this problem is because of Cygnus's idiotic plan of using Negative Share Energy" Libra stated.
"Then we just have to gather more of the energy from the human buku," Cancer grinned, surprising the others "If we cause a large number of humans here to feel anger, sadness or fear then we can convert the released share energy into Negative energy for the Andromeda key!"
"That's it!" The others said in unison.
"And once we activate the key again, this planet will be destroyed and our mission will be fulfilled at last Buku!" Cancer started "In order to do so, we'll need a secret hideout buku!".
"Alright! We'll do that" Taurus yelled, pumping his fist before blinking "A secret hideout?"
"So let's all use the materials from this island to build an incredible secret base even greater than this one" Cancer yelled, as everyone raised their arms.
"Yeah!".
We then see all of them turning into energy before flying to begin construction on their new base.
A month and a half later
Hospital
Third person P.O.V.
"Thank you for visiting me you two" Tom Dubias smiled, as we see him in a hospital room with Ryu and Aaron in there "I know I've caused a lot of trouble for everyone".
"Nothing of it, it was all due to the alien after all, it's not your fault" Aaron told him.
"Are you feeling any better now? You've been unconscious for almost a month" Ryu asked, but Tom shook his head, surprising the two.
"Honestly no,.. how should I say this…" he said, looking down "It was because of me that Andromeda almost destroyed the planet… isn't it…I'm worried that they might be able to resummon it one day".
"Hah, like it's possible. We destroyed the key" Omega-xis smirked, as Tom looked at him.
"Really? Thank goodness" he sighed.
"You should learn how to relax more Tom" Aaron smiled "We've got Ryu and Omega-xis assurance that it'll be okay, and if anything did happen not only do we have the satellite police but 2 other heroes just like Rockman".
"Okay… thank you truly" Tom smiled/
"No problem" Ryu grinned, before turning to Aoron "Anyway I should probably head back now or Histoire is gonna get worried."
"Sure thing, just be careful you won't know what you'll run into" he warned his Nephew.
"Don't worry we can just transform to get there, it'll be fine" Omega-xis laughed, making Aoron chuckle.
"Alright, alright. just be careful you two."
"We will," Ryu told him, as he left the hospital room, before being engulfed by a bright green light.
The next thing we see is Ryu as Rockman flying through the night sky on the wave road.
It's been about a month and a half since Ryu and the candidates had worked together to save the Goddesses from the FM-Ians and despite a few adventures as well as some new friends, peace had finally returned to Gamindustri.
"I'm back" Ryu said, as we see him entering the Basilicom while returning to normal only to find Neptune playing her game
"Oh? Hey! Ryu! Welcome back" Neptune grinned, looking back at him while playing her game.
"Neptune? Shouldn't you still be doing your work?" Ryu blinked, before his Transer beeped.
"Ryu, this is Neptune we're talking about here" Omega-xis deadpanned.
"...You're right, forgot who I was talking about for a second" Ryu nodded, before they heard quick foot steps
"Neptuna!" They heard, looking over to see Peashy, the girl they had met in the park, walking in while rubbing her stomach "I'm hungry, what's for dinner?".
"Ah sorry P-ko! I'll order something in a few minutes! Just gotta beat this level" Neptune said, trying to finish the level.
"NO! I WANT FOOD NOW!" Peashy yelled, shaking her shoulders.
"Wait, can't Nepgear or Compa usually do the cooking?" Ryu asked, as Neptune shook her head.
"Well Nep Jr's over in Lastation, Histy's in an important meeting or something and Compa and Iffy got some guild stuff they're focusing on" Neptune explained.
"R-Right" Ryu sweatdropped, before he walked up to Peashy and grabbed her hand "C'mon Peashy, Neptune's busy."
"Hrmm, PEA PUNCH!" She yelled, sending an upper cut right at Ryu.
"GAH! GAH! GAH!" Ryu yelled, as he fell back in slow motion before crashing on the ground a dazed look on his face
"R-Ryu?!" Omega-xis blinked, in shock while Peashy laughed.
"Hahahahaha! K.O.! I win!" Peashy laughed, as distracting Neptune from her game enough to get a Game Over.
"Eh?! What! Oh come seriously, uuuuhhh fine!" she cried, rubbing her head "I was close to beating the Super Duper Ultra Deluxe Final Level!"
Neptune quickly shook her head and spun around to Peashy "Well whateves! So who wants Pizza for dinner!."
"Pizza? YAY!" Peashy cheered, before running off to get the menu's "I'm gonna get tastiest Pizza ever!".
"You okay, Ryu?" Neptune asked, helping the teenager up as he spun his head around dizzily.
"Y-Yep, I'm totally fine…" Ryu stuttered, shaking his head.
"Heh, guess this is another episode of kid's not liking ya huh?" Omega-xis smirked, from his Transer.
"He's right dude, kid's really don't like ya huh" Neptune said, as Ryu rubbed his head
"Yeah took me a bit for my cousins in Lowee to start liking me, Rom and Ram didn't even like until they found out I was Rockman" he explained, a small smile on his face.
"Then why don't you do a little henshin a go go and show off your power's a bit, I bet Peashy will be all over getting to see a real superhero" Neptune asked, but Omega-xis crossed his arms.
"Rockman isn't just some little girl's toy to show off, hell if I could somehow get all you idiots to forget about us I'd do it right away" Omega-xis scoffed, as Ryu gave him a deadpanned look "What? It was much simpler when it was just us two".
"Nah, Mega I know you love us" Neptune smiled, as Omega-xis rolled his eyes.
"Oh right, by the way I'm a bit busy tomorrow and with the others busy nobody can take care of P-Ko" Neptune said.
"Eh? Why me, aren't I the worst choice since she doesn't like me!" Ryu asked, being completely confused but Neptune clapped her hands together.
"Ppppllllleeeeeaaaasssseeee! I really need your help here!" Neptune begged, making Ryu gulp as he looked at her.
"Okay fine…" Ryu sighed, making Neptune jump up into the air.
"Thank ya lil bro, and don't worry if anything goes down then I'll pop right over to where you are" Neptune grinned, giving Ryu a thumbs up as Peashy came in with the menus.
"Pizza time! Pizza time!" Peashy cheered, holding the menus as they proceeded to order their dinner.
Fm-ian base
Third person P.O.V.
"After a month and a half! We have finally completed our new base!" Cancer declared, as we see the FM-Ian's in a large building filled to the brim with stolen tech, as well as a discussion table, and a large computer with a card reader on it. "Now! Time for our first matter gathering the needed energy to recharge the Andromeda-gah!"
Cancer was then cut off as he was whacked away by Taurus's tail "I say we just punched the negative energy out of it!"
"I doubt it would be that simple," Libra sighed, shaking his head.
"Yeah, the energy is mostly drawn through their emotions" Ophiucha frowned, thinking about it "But how are we meant to do that".
"Yeah, the humans here are very different from us so we may gather Negative energy differently from them" Wolf sighed.
"Then we just need to learn how these humans gather these Negative energy!" Crown smirked as Libra looked at him.
"But how are we meant to go out of there, the humans would just scream and run away at the sigh of us" Libra questioned.
"I just might be able to fix that actually" Cancer grinned, as he turned to a large cylinder
"Isn't that the device that allowed us to EM wave change?" Ophiucha asked, crossing her arms.
"And he also said that it'll be able to create a human form for us! So shall we give it a try, Taurus?".
"Hmm, alright" Taurus said, going inside of the cylinder as Cancer typed in a few commands into the computer as the cylinder began flashing before he was engulfed by a bright light.
When the light died down we saw Taurus now in a human form which looked like a mix of his own body as well as Bud's, looking like an older version of Bud with a more muscular body.
"Woah, incredible," Taurus gawked, looking at his body.
"Well then, who's next?" Cancer asked, as the FM-ian's all began grouping to gain a human.
"Hmm interesting" Ophiucha said, looking at her body which now looked like an older Luna with long drill tail hair which was purple and green in colour with red coloured eyes and wearing a snake like dress.
"Alright this could be useful" Wolf said, who looked Damian with a much hairier body like on his arms, chest and much long hair. He also had sharp fangs and piercing red eyes and wore wolf themed clothing.
"Hohoho, now this incredible" Crown laughed who had a very chubby body wearing royal-like clothing but his body had several cuts and bruises.
"I can do a lot with this," Libra said, who wore a butler-like suit that was brown in colour with a half red and a half blue shirt with lilac styled hair.
"Alright then! Let's go!" Taurus yelled, as they all left the building.
"Hey wait!" Cancer yelled, before sighing "They're still not respecting me, Maybe I'm not the best as the leader buku".
"Oh I don't know I thought you were pretty good"
"Huh?" He said, looking back to see Gemini Black "Oh! Gemini, where have you been? We all grouped up a while back buku."
"Meh, I had some…other business" he shrugged before noticing the card scanner.
"You know, with this baby you can do a number of interesting things" he smirked, as Cancer turned his head.
"Buku?".
The next day
Planeptune
Third person P.O.V.
"Peashy! Get back here" Ryu yelled, as we see him chasing the little girl.
"No! I wanna be with Neptuna" she yelled, waving her arms and shaking her head.
"Come on Peashy, Neptune's busy and she told me to watch you for today" Ryu sighed, grabbing her but Peashy kept shaking.
"Noooo!" She cried, as Ryu shook his head.
"At least this isn't like having to deal with the FM-Ian's," Omega-xis snickered, from the Transer.
"Yeah, I'd rather do that at this point…" Ryu sighed but then he thought of something "By the way what do you think happened to the other FM-Ian's".
"Not sure, but I doubt they'll be much of a problem since the Andromeda key is gone and they don't have the resources to rebuild it".
"Yeah you're right, I shouldn't worry too much" Ryu nodded, as Omega-xis blinked.
"By the way, where's the brat?" Omega-xis asked, making Ryu blink.
"Huh?" Ryu said, looking up to find that Omega-xis statement was true, Peashy went "Oh crap baskets, Peashy!".
"Peashy! Peashy where are you- Huh?" Ryu blinked, as he turned the corner.
"Hahaha! Peawhy's the strongest '' she declared, as we see the young girl standing on top of a knocked out Bud while Luna and Zack looked at her in surprise and fear.
"Ah! Prez! Zack! Bud! Sorry!" Ryu apologised, running up to the group.
"Ryu, you know this little girl?" Luna asked, shocked.
"Yeah,she's a lost girl we found in the park and we've been taking care of her till we can find her parents," Ryu explained, before turning to Peashy. "Peashy! That's going too far, we don't go attacking strangers like that."
"What! But I wanna fight tough guys!" Peashy yelled as Ryu crossed his arms "That doesn't mean you can attack them out of nowhere! How would it be if someone suddenly punched you without warning! Now I want you to apologise."
"Hrrmmm…hmph! Fine!" she huffed and pouted, turning to the others "I'm sorry…"
"Very well, I'll accept your apology since you are so young" Luna said, crossing her arms "But you better not do it again!"
"Yeah it's alright but man you got a mean right hook" Bud laughed, rubbing his chin.
"So what are you guys doing together? I would have thought you'd be on holiday or something" Ryu asked, as Zack fixed his glasses
"Well thanks to Luna's 'persuasions' we are spending our day looking for Rockman" Zack told him making Ryu sweat drop while Peashy turned her head in confusion.
"Who's Rockman?" She asked, as Luna looked at her in shocked.
"You don't know Rockman! You have to be kidding me!" Luna gawked, and in response Peashy could only shake her head.
"No, I've never heard of him. Who is he?" Peashy asked, turning her head.
"Well, Rockman is an incredible super hero who saves people from EM viruses and different monsters," Zack explained, getting Peashy excited.
"Wow really! I wanna meet him! I wanna meet him!" Peashy grinned, jumping up and down.
"Very well then, let us go! Rockman search party!" Luna yelled, as they all moved forward.
"H-Hey! Wait!" Ryu blinked, chasing after them.
Elsewhere in the city
Third person P.O.V.
In the city we see the FM-Ian's in their human forms walking through the city trying to find ways to harvest Negative Share Energy.
"Excuse me young ma'am" A young woman heard, before screaming as she saw Crown's human form that looked like his human host but with aspects of him such as the green clothes and a big beard and moustache, but still looking ragged with even a bow sticking in him.
"Kyyyaaaaahhhhh! Zombie! Monster!" She screamed, as the alien turned his head.
"What was that about?" he pouted, looking down.
"Hmm, how to make humans feel negative," Ophiucha hummed, who looked like an older Luna with long purple hair and bright green eyes who was wearing a purple and green variant of Luna's clothes.
"Huh?" She muttered, hearing the sounds of crying as she looked over at few people leaving a cinema with tears in their eyes,
"Excuse me, why are you crying?" Ophiucha asked, as the woman sniffed,
"It was the movie we just watched, oh why did such a young child have to face such an emotional conflict" they said, as Ophiucha looked back at the cinema.
"Hmm, maybe" she said, walking into the cinema
"Hey what the hell!" An older man said, as we see in another part of the city a sudden car crash occurred as the drivers argued.
"Hmm, so things like this can cause anger to the humans" Wolf smirked, crossing his arms which looked similar to his human form except wearing much more feral looking clothes that looked like his body as well as navy coloured hair and red eyes.
"NOOOOOOOO! I WANT THAT GAME!" A young boy screamed, as he threw a tantrum on the floor.
"Hah, he's really bringing out the water works" Libra laughed, who didn't really look like Nepgear but an older man with curly grey hair and a big moustache with a half and half suit, one red and one blue.
"Hah, fine then I'll let you leave you then" The mother huffed walking off the son gulped.
"W-Wait!" The son said, as he wiped away his tears and chased after his mother.
"Huh?!" Libra gasped, completely confused.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" A number of people screamed, as they all rode a roller coaster.
"Ah, such wonderful screams" Taurus smirked, as his new body looked like a bulkier and older Bud with red hair and orange eyes, he wore a black tank top with red cargo shorts and black boots "Now this is true fear".
"Wow! That was so fun!" "I wanna go on another one!" "C'mon let's go" he heard, as he saw several people leaving the roller coaster.
"Wait… they're not scared anymore?!" Taurus blinked, in confusion.
Meanwhile in the cinema we see several people crying during an emotional scene while Ophiucha just turned her head.
"Why…why does this make them emotional?" She blinked in confusion, before disappearing.
We see Ophiucha, Libra and Crown returning to their new base as Cancer smirks "Alright everyone report back, Buku".
"First, what do we do to make the humans sad so we can generate Negative Share Energy Buku?".
"We have no idea" All of them said, making Cancer blink.
"Wait what?!"
"Humans are very tricky beings" "I can't figure out the trigger that makes them feel negative" "And they stop feeling negative only a few moments later".
"You've got to be kidding me, then how are we supposed to gather the energy Buku!" Cancer yelled, stomping his foot.
"Hmm, perhaps a proper strategy could help us out" Ophiucha said, as Cancer pointed to her.
"That's an excellent idea!" Cancer noticed something "Then let's get…wait, where are Wolf and Taurus, Buku?".
"Huh, I didn't notice they weren't here yet" Libra blinked while looking around.
"I'll try contacting them" Cancer said, as he dialled in to their communicator they made.
Park
Third person P.O.V.
Meanwhile in the middle of the park we see Taurus watching the humans walking around, when something caught his eyes.
"Yo" Wolf waved, as Taurus turned to the FM-Ian.
"Oh hey, you got anything good?" Taurus asked, crossing his arms
"Nah, nothing" Wold sighed, laying back "Man, I'm beat".
"Humans are pretty hard to understand…" Taurus grumbled, shaking his head with Wolf nodding.
"Ox, Wolf" They heard, pulling out their communicator "Come to headquarters right now Buku we're coming up with new strategies to gather negative energy"
"There's no need for that, in the end what makes them angry and scared isn't too different from us" Wolf grinned.
"Yeah, so all we need to do is go all out," Taurus smirked, as the two stood up.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! WOLF! ON AIR!"
"EM WAVE CHANGE! TAURUS! ON AIR!"
The two were then engulfed in energy tornadoes before moving towards the city, and crashing into the middle of the street..
"Ox Tackle!" Taurus Fire yelled, as he crashed through several vehicles causing them to either be flattened or explode.
"Raaahhhh!" Wolf Woods yelled, as he slashed at the lamp post and building, shattering the windows.
"WHAT ARE THOSE IDIOTS DOING!" Cancer yelled, as he and the other FM-Ian's watched the two rampaging.
"This might actually be useful" Crown said, as Cancer turned to him "What are you talking about?".
"We'll be able to see what triggers the people of this planet to release the negative energy" Ophiucha explained.
"Ah! I see, let's watch." Cancer grinned, jumping in front of the screen.
"Hmm, weird, why is their symbol glowing?" Libra questioned as they all noticed the chest marks of the FM-Ian's were glowing but some of it wasn't glowing.
"Let's just see what will happen" Cancer said, as they continued watching.
Meanwhile with Ryu and the others.
Third person P.O.V.
"Mou! We looked all around the city but we still couldn't find him" Luna frowned, as they rested in the city.
"It's not surprising those Aliens haven't been around lately so why would Rockman be" Zack said, fixing his glasses "Maybe he was an alien as well and went back to his planet".
"WHAT! Don't joke like that! My Rockman wouldn't just up and leave like that" Luna screamed, pulling Zack's cheeks.
"Does this mean we aren't seeing Rockman" Peashy asked, as Bud nodded "Sorry little lady, looks like we aren't seeing him today".
Ryu looked at the group before he opened his transer "I kinda feel bad maybe we should transform and do a fly by".
"Are you kidding? Like hell I'm transforming just for that" Omega-xis scoffed crossing his arms.,
"But… huh?" Ryu blinked, noticing the group looking up at the large monitor on the building they were passing by.
Following their gaze, he noticed the news which was reporting on Wolf Woods and Taurus Fire attacking the city.
"Bud! That's the monster you turned into!" Zack yelled, pointing at the screen.
"What?! No way!" Bud gawked, stepping back.
"And that Wolf, I heard about that one showing up in Lastation! What are they doing here!" Luna asked as Ryu moved up.
"Luna, I need you to get Peashy and the others out of here" Ryu told her, as Luna looked at him.
"What? What about you" Luna asked, as Ryu moved in.
"I'll catch up but I need to call Neptune and tell her what's going on" He whispered to her.
"Alright but you owe me" Luna said, before looking down "Alright Peashy, let's- huh".
They then all looked over to see Peashy was now gone, having run towards where the FM-Ian's were.
"PEASHY!" Ryu yelled, before chasing after her.
Back with the FM-Ian's
Third person P.O.V,
"Go! Go! Go!" The satellite police yelled, as they rushed towards the two FM-Ian's in their vehicle.
However a large vehicle was thrown in there forcing them to try and find another way to get to the aliens.
"Hahahahaha! Man it is fun to just rampage" Taraus Fire laughed, as he blasted round the city.
"You're right! It's good to let lo-" "PEA PUNCH!"
"GAH!" Wolf Woods yelled, as he was punched in the face by Peashy, sending him crashing into the ground.
"You monsters are not gonna hurt anyone anymore!" Peashy yelled, pointing at the FM-Ian's.
"Little Brat" Wolf Woods growled, getting back up,
"Heh, you're a pretty brave brat but let's see you take this, Ox Tackle!" Taurus Fire yelled, as he dashed towards Peashy to tackle her.
"Peashy! Look out!" Ryu yelled, as he dashed towards her before picking the girl up.
"Ryu Move!" Omega-xis yelled, as Taurus Fire swung at Ryu, knocking the two towards a building.
"Gah!" Ryu yelled, as he slammed into the building while still hugging Peashy before letting her go.
"W-Why did you do that?" Peashy asked, looking at Ryu, noticing a bit of blood on him.
"B-Because…even if you don't like me…it's my job…to watch out for you" Ryu stuttered, picking Peashy up as the two FM-Ian's glared at him.
"Oh no you don't!" The two yelled, as they readied their attacks.
"OX FIRE!" "WIDE SLASH!" They yelled, blasting fire and throwing a energy slash towards Ryu and Peashy.
"EM WAVE CHANGE! RYU STELAR! ON AIR!".
The two sent an energy slash and a fire blast towards Ryu and Peashy as they were engulfed in a green tornado.
When the smoke dispersed as they then looked up to see Rockman on the roof holding Peashy.
"Ryu… can transform…like Neptuna?" Peashy blinked, looking up at Rockman in surprise.
"ROCKMAN-SAMA!" They heard, looking over at Luna and the others watching them from below.
"What! You're Rockman!" Peashy gasped, with stars in her eyes as he smiled at her.
"Keep it a secret, alright' he smiled, putting her down before he leapt off the roof.
"Why the hell are you still here! The Andromeda key has been destroyed, we made sure of that" Omega-xis asked, as the two FM-Ian's smirked.
"Shows what you know, Omega-xis! We've already repaired the key" Taurus Fire laughed, crossing his arms.
"Yeah! Now we just need to fill it up with Negative Share Energy" Wolf Woods nodded
"What!" Rockman and Omega-xis gasped, shocked at this revaluation.
"Now we just have to take care of you! Go! my viruses!" Wolf Woods yelled, summoning several yellow wolves to attack Rockman.
"Battle Card! Predation! Long Sword!" Rockman yelled, using the card to summon the long sword which he used to slash down the wolves.
"Take this then! Ox Fire!" Taurus Fire yelled, shooting a large flame attack towards Rockman.
"Woah!" He yelled, leaping over the flames "Battle Card! Predation! Hammer!".
Suddenly his sword arm soon changed to a hammer arm which he used to hit Taurus in the head "OW!".
"AAAAHHHH! THAT'S MY ROCKMAN!" Luna gushed, hearts in her eyes.
"You get 'em Rockman!" "Yeah! You can win!" Zack and Bud cheered.
"Wow…I didn't think Ryu was so cool" Peashy smiled, stars in her eyes.
"That's it!" Taurus Fire yelled, as the two dashed towards Rockman who leapt over them.
"Take this! Rock Buster!" He yelled, firing at them with several charged shots.
As they moved out of the way, we can see the glowing part of their symbol was lowering a bit.
"Ox Tackle" Taurus yelled, as Rockman landed on the ground.
"Battle Card! Predation! Ice Fi- GAH!" "UPPER CLAW!" Wolf Woods yelled, slashing Rockman, knocking him into the air before Tarus rammed into him knocking him back,
"Don't forget that there are two of us this time!" Wolf Woods yelled.
"Yeah! We'll stomp you to death!" Taurus Fire smirked, as the two jumped next to each other.
"Now take this! OX FIRE!" "WIDE SLASH!" The two yelled, firing at their energy blasts at him as he tried to put a shield to protect himself but then a purple blur moved and knocked the attack away.
"Looks like I'm the one saving you, Rockman" he heard, looking over to see Neptune in her Goddess form.
"Lady Purple Heart!" He smiled, standing back up as Purple Heart looked back.
"FM-Ian's are back" Purple Heart asked, looking at the two FM-Ian's.
"Yeah, they're trying to gather Negative Share Energy I think" Rockman explained, standing back up.
"Then we aren't going to let them" Purple Heart smirked, readying her sword and entering a fighting position."
"Ryu, I say we should go all out" Omega-xis said, as Ryu nodded.
"Alright! Star Break! Progress of Planeptune! Thunder Phoenix! On Air!" He yelled, as his body was engulfed in a golden light transforming him into his Thunder Phoenix form.
"No way! Rockman changed!" Bud gawked, staring at Rockman's new form.
"Yeah he's all gold and shiny" Zack gulped, fixing his glasses
"Wow! He's even more radiant than normal" Luna said excitedly.
"No way!" "T-That's!" Taurus Fire and Wolf Woods gulped.
The scene then moves back as we see the other FM-Ian's watching this fight go down.
"Shit, I thought that form was only limited to our previous fight!" Libra yelled.
"Like this, they'll never win" Ophiucha gulped, as Crown cried "Our mission is doomed!".
"Kukuku, Don't give up yet Buku" Cancer yelled, looking back at his comrades.
"We also have new tricks up our sleeves" he said, pulling out some battle cards before going to the console.
"BATTLE CARD! CANNON! VULCAN! TRANSFER!" He yelled, as the console shot lasers into the screen.
Back in the battle we see those lasers hitting Taurus and Wolf which equipped them with a cannon and a Gatling gun.
"What!" Rockman gasped as Purple Heart gulped "How did they do that?!".
"They must have somehow taken the battle card's abilities as their own! And with their strength they are even stronger now!" Omega-xis guessed.
"Hehe, let's try these new toys out! Ox Cannon!" Taurus yelled, firing at the two as they flew up the cannon shot resulting in a large fiery explosion.
"Oh no you don't! Wolf Vulcan!" Wolf Woods yelled, firing at them as they dodged the shots.
"It's too much we won't be able to keep up"Rockman said, as Purple Heart knocked some the blasts away "And they can easily hurt other people.
"Then we'll just have to take them out now! Ryu!" Omega-xis said, as Ryu nodded "Right".
"BATTLE CARD PREDATION! SWORD! WIDE SWORD! LONG SWORD! PROGRAMME ADVANCE! TRI SABER!"
The three sword cards combined it one powerful sword however when it did Rockman and Purplle Heart were covered in a purple Aura.
"Huh? What's going on?" Rockman blinked, looking at himself.
"I dunno but it feels good" Purple Heart smirked, before turning to the two FM-Ian's "Let's do this!".
"Alright!" Rockman nodded, as they both dashed to the FM-Ian's.
"CROSS COMBINATION!" The two yelled as they moved towards the FM-Ian's.
They simultaneously slashed at the FM-Ian's several times before they knocked them up into the air.
They then followed the FM-Ian's before slashing at them, sending the two back to the ground.
"Ggh Damn it" Wolf Woods said, getting back up "We ain't giving up yet!".
"Yeah! Let's do this you little-gah!" The two said, as they're chest symbols energy emptied out and they were released from their wave change form.
"HUH?!" they screamed, looking at themselves before hearing the sound of sirens as they looked over at the Satellite Police moving towards them.
"Nope!" The two said, as they turned into energy before flying off.
"Rockman!" Goyoda said, as Rockman gulped.
"Uuuuhhh, gotta go and find somewhere to turn back could you check on Peashy" Rockman said, as Purple Heart nodded
Rockman soon dashed off so he could return to normal but as he did Peashy stared at him with sparkles in her eyes.
A few hours later
Planeptune Basilicom
Third person P.O.V.
"I'm back" Nepgear smiled walking back into the Basilicom only to find something she didn't expect.
"Come on Big Bro! I wanna play! I wanna play!" Peashy yelled, pulling Ryu's arm as he sweatdropped.
"Alright Peashy, just give me a minute," Ryu told her, as he worked on his summer homework.
"Wow, when did you two get so close" Nepgear asked, as Ryu smiled "Heh, that's kind of a long story".
"Big bro!" Peashy yelled, pulling his arm more and more.
"Alright alright, coming" Ryu smiled, getting dragged along by the little girl.
"Hehe, I'm glad to see you two getting along" Nepgear smiled watching as Ryu played with Peashy.
However as this was going on we see Histoire in the Sharicite room as she looked at something perplexing
The share ratings for Planeptune had raised dramatically but only for a few moments,
"How… is this possible…" Histoire said, before looking down.
"Could it be…Ryu's new forms can affect our shares?" she said, before looking at the screen with worry.
