Nepgear fiddled with her latest creation, making sure all the gears were in place and all the dials were checked. If anything went wrong it would be an immediate disaster, who knows what kind of things would happen? The universe could explode, or absolutely nothing of significance could happen. Anything is possible in the realm of science.
Of course that would be an extreme.
Nepgear smiled with the utmost glee as she was finally done. She just had to make an audio log.
She grabbed her N-Gear and began to record, "I'm finally done! I have successfully created a time machine! I know this is revolutionary, but this can not go out to just anybody. This machine has to be used for observational purposes, not to change anything in the past. If push comes to shove I will have to destroy this machine and any records on how to build it. In stories these types of machines usually spell disaster, so I will take the utmost precaution."
Nepgear but a finger on her chin for a moment, "Hmmm….. I know i'm being a bit hypocritical, but it's just too interesting to pass up! The first test will be immediately after this recording." Nepgear stopped the recording, eager to travel back in time.
…..
Nepgear took a moment to examine her surroundings, she was in a well lit room…. And Histoire was right in front of her.
"Greetings. I felt a disturbance coming from this empty room, who are you?" Histoire asked.
Welp, Nepgear already botched up the observations only rule…. It wouldn't hurt to at least talk to Histoire, right? It it only courteous to greet someone back. According to her calculations she's in a time where she wasn't born yet.
Actually going by time travel rules this event would've already happened and when she goes back and asks Histoire about it she will get a definite 'Yes.' Though… does she say her name as Nepgear or….
"Hello, I'm Nepgear." Nepgear quickly spouted out and held her hand out. It appears that she was more nervous than she thought.
Histoire stared at her for a short breath and narrowed her eyes, but she eased up a bit. "Hello, my name is Histoire. Welcome to Planeptune. Your aura feels familiar, yet so distant. Do you perhaps come from a different dimension?" Histoire then held out her tiny hand to shake Nepgear's big one.
"No, I actually-" Nepgear started.
As soon as Histoire made contact with Nepgear's hand Histoire dissolved into some kind of blue material and the material quickly collapsed to the floor.
Nepgear's eyes widened, "What the goodness?!" That wasn't supposed to happen, was it? What the hell just happened?!
"Histoire!" Nepgear quickly scrambled to the ground and tried to collect the strange blue material.
….
Nepgear shook her head as she felt her consciousness come back. Once her vision came back she saw her sister holding her head on her lap, looking over Nepgear. Neptune was all HDD up.
"Are you alright, Nepgear?" Her sister's mature voice asked.
Nepgear sat straight up, almost bumping into her sister's head, "What happened?"
"You had a mishap, it appears that your machine is busted. Thank goodness you're alright." Neptune hugged her sister tightly.
Nepgear could see that her time machine was busted, dials, bolts, mechanizations, etc were just everywhere. She wasn't even thinking about the fact that Neptune was hugging her. She had another thing on her mind entirely.
"Where's Histoire?" Nepgear simply asked.
"Who?" Neptune asked as she tilted her head in confusion.
Before Nepgear could reply a guard came in shouting, "My Lady, Lastation is invading!"
"What?!" Neptune broke out of the hug.
"Why is Lastation invading?!" Nepgear shouted.
"I know, how did they get past our defenses?"
The guard once again spoke, "They were using their new subterranean vehicles, My Lady."
"What of Leanbox?"
"They're being distracted by Lowee."
Lady Purple Heart clenched her fists, "How long until they get here?"
"Thirty minutes, My Lady."
"That's more than enough time." Neptune said as she gave off a smile.
"What's going on?!" Nepgear finally shouted.
Purple Heart took a second to stare at Nepgear, "Nepgear. Follow me."
Neptune walked out of the room with a busted machine followed by Nepgear.
They quickly emerged into a war room of sorts, computers, beepers, and all that.
"Nepgear, the time has come for you to command your own troops."
"Command?" Nepgear had absolutely no idea what was going on! What happened to Histoire?
Purple Heart nodded and grabbed someone nearby. He was a rather tall bald man with a goatee, he wore a simple black robe, compared to everyone else who wore purple robes.
"Nepgear this'll be your advisor, he knows what he is doing. So listen to him as if you would me. It could lead you to victory or defeat. It's all based off of how you follow his advice."
As soon as one heard his voice, you could tell he was charismatic. If anyone could represent charisma it could be him.
"Good day, My Lady. I am Kane. I will be your advisor."
...just what the hell is going on?
….
Literally got this idea when playing Command and Conquer: Red Alert.
This was mostly just to be a One-Shot, but if people are interested I may try to continue with this.
