Ask me – part 2 : The Glitchvisor

(3rd POV)

When the sun give it little shine, our Tsundere CPU just have awake from her slumber. Yesterday, after he make sure that young man, Ciel resting and not trying to get away she was dealing with her citizen complains due aftermath of previous battle. Stinky and such, that was complains is. Luckily that she was able to solve that problem, with a cost of her share is dropped a little.

"Un~~~" she stretch a little, "Morning uh? I want to rest a little more but CPU job doesn't waiting. Hah... what a day..."

After Noire clean up her bed, she take shower before dressing herself for a new day waiting for her.

"I should check him too. He maybe already awake," she says as she walking there, "with his condition before, I doubt he can go out easily."

Sadly, her words will betray her soon. She was in front of his room where Ciel is resting before. Just as she wants to touch the doorknob, she suddenly has bad feeling about it.

"N-no way! There's a guard patrolling inside and outside as well. There's no way he can escape if he want to."

Well, her words are really will kill her now. She's readied herself as she touch the doorknob and open the door. And the scene she saw isn't what she expected.

An empty room with a strangely tidied bed and opened air ventilation.

"W-WHY THIS IS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEE!"

She's suddenly transformed and flies out from the room with very angry aura around her.

"That man..." she trembling in anger, "when I found him, I'll chain him up!"

Meanwhile... (Ciel POV)

"Ugh..."

I woke up after what happen before. Brr... somehow my back trembling due something... Shit! Whatever that person does is still hurt as hell!

"Dammit. Why he suddenly attacking me like that," he rub my head, "I know I have pissed off some guys but not as far as they want to attack me out of blue like that."

Just I want to stand up, my hand touching something. I look toward my hand and find something.

"What... is this..."

I take the thing that I touch with my hand. It was the same thing or should I say, a weapon device that person use to me! Well, the color is different but I'm sure that was the same thing. The rectangular shape device with each side angle is sharpen a little with left side have this mini chain saw when the right side have a two short barrel-like turret. One that pretty strange about this device is there're buttons, one each side with left one have B button when the right one have A button. And also, it has screen in the middle and this... slot on the side to insert something.

"And this..."

I almost forgot that there's another thing beside that device. A small hand-size thing that looks similar to game cartridge. On that thing, there's a image on the cover with countless 0 and 1 with big word G.I.G.A. WORLD on it. Really, this thing is stranger than the device.

'I can feel strange power from it. Ah, no matter though.'

I put it in my jacket and standing up now. I inspect the device once again to see it as I found it name on its back.

"Glitch...visor, Glitchvisor is it? A very strange name indeed."

When I still inspect it, I heard a growling sound. As I look toward the source, I found two Plagiarons standing there and looking toward me. Really? They come from all the time in here, near me? Very stupid. It's just like they're asking for death.

"And very coincidence too I have new toy here," I look toward the Glitchvisor, "Let's test this baby out," I say when I put it on my hand.

{BLAST DOWN}

When I put it on my hand, it generates a handle for my hand to grip on it. From the way it facing, it seems in gun mode or something.

"Then the long range attack then!"

I'm aiming toward those Plagiarons and just like I was command it to shot, it suddenly release several beam bullets from the barrel and hitting them. They're seemed look in pain just by get hit from it.

"Wow... I guess I shouldn't underestimate the firepower from this thing."

When I just surprised by my new toy, I sense that they're still alive from that attacks and looks like ready to attack me.

"Let test the other way around."

If I remember, that person switch the side when use it as weapon. Then, this thing as well has same function like his. So, I take it out from the grip, switch the side before put it in again.

{CARNAGE IN}

And the chainsaw activated. Just from my hand I can feel how much the engine power from it. It feels like holding normal big size chainsaw with one hand. Normal person will break their hand in one swing; luckily I'm not a "normal" person.

"Let's see how you guys handle this thing!"

I rush out toward them with the chainsaw ready to slice anything it touch. One of those Plagiarons got closer to me and tries to swipe me with its claw hands. I evade it attack and delivered clean slice with my weapon. And then there is silence.

'Strange...'

Very strange. There're no scream or anything. Did I get it? I turn back and found that monster already sliced into two, and really clean slice. How can a chainsaw make a clean slice!? Last I remember, chainsaw if not use properly will make a mess cut or not straight cut, and I was sure that I just use it by swing it.

'No time for think about it. Another one—"

Just right in time. I sense the other one just want to hit me and I stop it by thrust the chainsaw deep to its body.

"I wonder what those button use for..."

My curiosity take me as I press the A button. Suddenly, the chainsaw had become more energetic and messing the inside of the monster. With my strength, I lift the body with the chainsaw but the body slowly falling down again as it was sliced into two. I saw the remains of that monster that very messy right now.

"Now that's how the chainsaw is," suddenly I feel my right hand become numb, "damn, this thing is really hard to control."

Remembering how that mysterious person using it without burden, I can say he was really strong. But with his power, why he doesn't finish me? Did he have grudge on me? Or—

'He has another motive...'

This device... he left it with me with the other item. I can't say that now I was curious about it.

"Someone there!?"

Shit! Is that Lastation patrol!? I know that CPUs already in friendly status but they still keep this patrol in case wild monster or other thing makes mess with their nation. And now one of them in here in very wrong time. Great...

'Go first, think later.'

First thing I don't want to deal right now is being questioned by anyone related to nation. And with my spectacular escape before, I can tell that Tsundere CPU would really piss off when she found out.

In Lowee (3rd POV)

Blanc just finishes her works and taking a rest by walking through the city. She do it so she can know better how is her people wanted from close and give more better contribution to her citizen. After few minutes walking, she's deciding to rest by buying a warm green tea and few dangos.

"A peace is also good for sometimes."

After the cases of those strange monsters terrorizing her citizen, she almost has no rest on her work. Not only that, few citizens are reported to be missing and she's still don't have lead of their whereabouts.

'Maybe Noire have some clue about it,' she thought, 'that young man she meets... she told me that he have some information about those monsters.'

Plagiarons, kill peoples to replace them for unknown motive. That was she got from her.

'If what she says that those freaks can turn their shape into someone, even to CPU, they're really a threat for us.'

She takes a sip of her tea as she look into the photo she get from Noire, the photo of that man, Ciel if she not mistaken. When she looks to it for few minutes, she remembers something.

"I think I know him, or rather I have met him somewhere. But where? And when?"

She takes another sip again while lowering the photo, only to split out the drink in her mouth outside. She look again to the photo and the person she just she. She do it few times until she confirm that was the person in photo.

"How can he be here!? Is he still in Lastation right now!?"

Now she was remembering about what Noire said to her. This man, Ciel tend to escape and run away if people try to seek something from him. Noire just lucky that she can make him "cooperate" if that what she says.

"Hm?" she look at him, "He's looking around. Did he looking for something?"

Then she saw him moving again to somewhere. Knowing that he's here mean he was run away from Lastation, she can't let the chance go away like that.

"I can know more about it, directly from the source."

As she decide, Blanc finish her things before stalking Ciel to know where he heading. It was a quite difficult stalking due he continuous use non-normal route so it hard to her to follow him. It almost like he knows that he was followed and try to get away from his pursuer. But Blanc doesn't give up until finally he was stopping on a location.

'Finally,' Blanc thought while panting, 'he finally stops. But why he stops here? There's nothing here except tree and snow.'

Their location, are in some snow field with forest tree surrounded them. There is nothing that can be say worth to look except some wild animal or monsters that pass by.

Ciel suddenly look around, forcing Blanc to hide behind the tree so she wouldn't caught by him. He was doing it for while until he nodding himself and proceeds to looking for something on the ground. Blanc who got curious takes a peek to seeing what he tries to find. Then, he was stop like he was found something he seek and not long after that, a strange sound heard by her and then there's small earthquake happening.

"W-what happen!?"

Blanc got concerned and forgets about the young man as she tries to looking the source. Seeing the earthquake stop, she turns toward Ciel location but found out that he wasn't there anymore.

"W-where is he!? He was there a few second ago!"

Blanc is coming to where she saw Ciel standing by. From what he just thought, he suddenly disappears right after that earthquake happen. She doesn't know what the cause, but there's no way that he can suddenly disappear like that just because she don't look for him for few seconds.

"Dam**t... Maybe he knows I follow him so he uses that earthquake as distraction," she concludes, "Hah... I'll look for him later. Maybe I'll meet him again soon."

After that, she leaves that place. Unknown for her, the person she's talking about is listening to her from very close range—

On underground.

"Phew..." he sighs in relief, "I have feeling someone tailing me, but I don't expecting to be CPU herself."

Ciel is on underground, or more like secret hideout, hidden under the ground with only him that knows how to get in or out from there. Why he have something like that? Very first thing that Ciel doesn't have that much money to have his own house or renting an apartment. Second is... he don't like crowd or people due some reason. Yes, he can speak normally with people, but he prefers to stay away as much as possible from people unless it was necessary.

After checking everything was clear, he going down until he found a large area like a room, with a lot of things reside it. A worktable and tools scattering on ground indicate that this place is more or less his workshop.

"Well... Lastation is out of list now," he takes a roll of paper from bench, "let's re-planning the whole thing."

He has opened the paper roll and reveals it was a map, a whole map of Gamindustri, Ultradimension's Gamindustri at least.

"Let's see," he looks on map, "I found some of them in a dungeon near Planeptune," he mark it with x symbol, "then recently they're pop out on Lastation," he mark it again, "Their move seen very unorganized, almost it like they're forced to terrorizing people and such. It was a smart move for creature that only knows to eat and survive."

He was thinking every possibilities about what the reason they're become very active recently. The possible thing he can though that someone was controlling them from background, but it was very plausible. As far as he knows, Plagiarons never takes someone else order. They're only following their so called "leader of pack" that rarely come outside and mostly stay on their nest. Their leader order is their top priority so isn't possible to control them, unless—

"Someone is smart enough to threat the leader and make them follow their order," he though, "but who? Seven Sages is not bad anymore, those two mobile app troublemakers are busy on their own place (I don't know what the meaning "busy" is same "busy" as people say) and there're no bad people come from Hyperdimension, at least not in catastrophe scale."

Ciel try to figure out, but there aren't any certainly about it. He feels tired so he had sitting on chair and relaxes for a while. Then, he remembers about two things he brought from before.

"This thing," he takes out the Glitchvisor, "is a very powerful weapon and it's also full of mystery. But what about this thing?"

He takes out the game-cartridge thing he get together with Glitchvisor. He wonder about that thing so he inspect it for a while.

"Hm... G.I.G.A. WORLD. Is that this thing name? Or it's just a title on this thing?"

When he was inspecting it, he found a small button on its side. Because he was curious, he presses the button.

{G.I.G.A WORLD}

Suddenly, an energy-like area is come out from his feet and extending to everywhere. He got a bad feeling as he pressing the button again and the area is disappearing immediately.

"What... is that?"

He doesn't know what happen as he left dumbfounded. He wants to inspect more about this thing, but he got a headache and felt tired suddenly.

"Ah right. My body isn't recover fully from before," he sighed, "better take some rest."

He walks toward bed in other room and laying there. He thinks there're so much happen since he meets with her again. But no matter happen—

"No matter happen... I can't face her now. I can't..."

Then, his mind fall into darkness, wait for light of to again when he wakes up.

And that's all for this chapter. Also, previously one of review asking me if there will be OC submission in this story. Well... it is! So, anyone who like to submit OC's can put it in this format:

Name:

Race: (CPU, Maker, Human, anything that possible in Neptunia world)

Appearance: (if that character have another form, please put their appearance too)

Bio: (Put it as short as possible. Max one paragraph)

Power: (No OP please)

Etc: (anything you want to put as extra information)

Okay, that's all. Even if I put an OC submission, those character you're submit wouldn't appear until the story reach second arc (or I find it interesting to be put right now). Anyway, thanks for reading. See you in next chapter. Asharoth (press a button) AWAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY! (blast off to the star)
