I've been noticing a lot of stories telling about LeanBox's Candidate being a man.

I like it! Actually, that's a great idea to use!

Of course, I'm not the first one to make this kind of story, kudos to the pioneer. But everyone keeps making This god's HDD form be a little... Err... How can I put this?

TOTAL PERVERT.

Anyway:

VERTIGO / GREEN BROTHER
My Green Brother, which I gave the name "Vertigo", will be almost the same as the other Green Brothers that were created. His HDD form is NOT a pervert, actually, it almost doesn't suffer personality change, like the rest of the candidates. He has two sets of clothes, one for winter (Or in this case, LoWee), which is composed by a silver and green hoodie with long pants, he also uses black gloves that cover his fingers, he also wears headphones on his neck when he's not listening to music; and one for summer (Or the rest of the nations), which is composed by a green and white T-shirt and a collar with LeanBox's logo, along with short jeans, finger-less black gloves and black and green sneakers. He does like to be around girls, since he is always around his sister and Chika. The only difference is that when he plays games, he plays games from EVERY console, and that has granted him friendship with almost every CPU and Candidate that exists, and that friendship has been able to raise the shares in everyone's favor. He is a fan of every game and is even a gamer himself, like his sister, although he doesn't stay on the games for FAR TOO LONG, like his sister or Neptune, instead, he gets to have fun with somethings he created from LeanBox and PlaNeptune's technology, along with LaStation's industry and LoWee's magic. He uses two Tonfas on his hands to fight with his normal form and when in HDD he uses Chain Blades. BTW, his HDD form is shirtless, with what looks like a very big Green Scar on his chest, and he also uses white pants, along with his Green Hair. (Essentially, he is a LeanBox Kratos, just not with Kratos' personality).

OK! Let's start this slice of life/action FanFiction!

Additional Information: The method of transforming for this story will be different, instead of being transformed in a pillar of light, they have a wrist watch for transforming, something like in the story "Hyperdimension Neptunia: Game START", kudos to the author of that!

BTW, theme song is "Hard Beat X Break Beat" by Nao

One more thing: Neptune will be in her Adult Form. Sorry I just... PREFER that one! Adult Neptune is like... sorry to say this: MY LOVE!

Saate... Game Hajimemashou!

LEANBOX OVERDRIVE

Episode 1: Meet the Candidate

Over-inflating shares means a new goddess can be formed, right? You're not wrong, but instead of a goddess being formed, a god was.

More specifically, me.

My name is Vertigo, and I am LeanBox's CPU Candidate.

First up, you might be asking what was my first meeting with sister was, right? Well it goes something like this:

Vert had been playing on games for a long time and decided to take a little break and walk around her nation to see how it was prospering.

Recently, the shares on LeanBox had grown to an IMPRESSIVE rate, and Vert didn't even know why, since she hasn't been doing any quests as of recently.

Suddenly...

"Vert? Can I bother you for a moment?" A tiny voice ringed in Vert's ears.

"Hm? Histoire, what do you need?" Vert asked the Planeptunian Oracle.

"Please come with me to the sharicite, I have some great news for you!" Histoire said.

Hm? That's weird... Why the sharicite? Vert thought.

Vert has reached the sharicite and Histoire was seen flying around a person in the hallway.

This person had Blonde hair, was wearing a green T-shirt, had a collar with LeanBox's Logo, short Jeans, finger-less black gloves and black and green sneakers. He apparently was hearing music, since he had green headphones on his head.

"Ahem" Histoire cleared her throat, calling the attention of the boy, who took the headphones off and hanged them around his neck.

"Histoire... What is this?" Vert asked her.

"Well, you do know that your shares had been growing at an alarming rate, right?"

Vert was thinking about that for a while, until something clicked on her and her eyes widened.

Shares growing... That can only mean...

"I guess you figured it out now, huh?" Histoire said, before flying to the boy "This boy here is your Candidate."

Vert was having two feelings: Ultra-Happy and Confused, Ultra-Happy because she would finally have a candidate, and confused because the candidate...

...was a Boy.

"Um, Histoire..." Her confused part acted first "Why is the candidate...?"

"A boy? Oh, don't be embarrassed by it Vert." Histoire started "This only happened because of the wishes of the people. In this case, the people wished for a candidate that wasn't really a girl, because they felt having a boy candidate was more unique than a girl candidate."

The boy walked to Vert, he was a little shorter to the size of Uni and Nepgear, he had blonde hair, wore a green and white jacket with a green T-shirt underneath, he had black finger-less gloves and wore a collar with LeanBox's symbol in it. He also had short jeans and black and green sneakers.

To put it simply: He looks like a male Vert.

"Uh... Hi." The boy spoke. "My name is Vertigo. I guess you're my new big sister, right?"

Vert calmed down a little after the shock of finally having a candidate, and formally greeted her brother:

"It's nice to meet you too... Onii-Chan!"

I know, that sounds a little short, but hey, I was still a new boy there.

So, what am I doing right now you ask? Oh nothing too special.

Just one week after I was born, Vert told me we needed to have a meeting with the other CPUs and the other CPU Candidates that exist for us to meet each other. I agreed of course, I know it was just a week, but I wanted to know how Vert was doing and if she had any friends or... Erm... Romantic interests.

Now don't take this seriously, but I am really used to girls, since I've been living with big sis Vert and the Oracle Hazoaki Chika.

After some time, we arrived at Planeptune, Purple Heart's nation.

When we got in the basilicom, we saw... Well... A lot of women...

There was one with a Black and Purple hoodie, another one with a White and Purple hoodie, other with an elegant dress, other with a black dress, and two that look like twins that are with a woman with clothes for winter.

I don't know who's CPU and who's Candidate here... But I can tell who's sister of who.

"Huh?" Yeah, sure, everyone was shocked at seeing a boy with Vert, much less one that looks like a male version of her.

I sweated a little bit here, since I don't even know what was I thinking with that...

"..."

"Err, Vert? Who's the boy with you?" The third woman said. "Please don't tell me you-"

"No, Blanc, I did not do anything... 'stupid' as you'd say." Blanc, huh? I guess that's the name from the White-clothed girl.

"*ahem* Anyway..." Vert stepped behind me and presented me: "This is Vertigo. And as weird as it seems, he's my little brother and the CPU Candidate of LeanBox!"

"...What."

Yeah, no shit. Of course everyone had to be surprised, a MALE CPU? Yeah, try getting THAT into your head.

"Yes, I know, it's awkward." I started saying. "But what's the problem with that? In fact, I'm kind of feeling unique being the first male CPU of Gamindustri."

"..." Everyone was silent about what I said. What? Is there a problem with being a male CPU?

"Wow!" The Purple haired girl said. "You must be very proud of being a CPU! I'm Neptune! Nice to meet ya!" Neptune, huh? OK.

"To be honest, that speech would be something my HDD form would be very proud to say, except that you should change the 'male' to 'female'." The black-haired girl said. "I'm Noire, CPU of LaStation." Ah, so this is Black Heart, although calling her Noire would be more approachable.

These three first girls must be the CPUs, so the rest must be like me: CPU Candidates.

The first one to present to me was NepGear, Neptune's sister. I could tell she had difficulties in meeting new people, but I know that she's a nice person looking to have a lot of friends and Adventures.

The second one was Uni, Noire's sister. Err... How should I put this? I don't know what to say about her, other than she acts a little Tsundere since she kind of mumbled: "It's not like I was hoping to meet a boy or something..." Err, I can tell she also had a blush on her face, a very tiny one.

The last ones were Blanc's twins, Rom and Ram. Each one looked like the opposite of the other, Ram was the energetic and extroverted type, while Rom was the calm and nervous one.

I told them about me and my personalities, unlike some people, I don't like to keep secrets from my friends or new friends, so I told them my preferences, my likings, favorite things, and even showed them my weapon of choice which Vert had made for me: Customized Tonfas. They had a green color with white linings and also had a very sharp blade on their outer edges, the ones that are not touching my arm.

My HDD form? I still didn't show them, don't get me wrong, I want to let them know my HDD form, but not now at least, we're still meeting ourselves.

Loading...

Nepgear has invited me and the other Candidates for a simple quest to see if I could fight, like, psh! Of course I can fight! Why not? I accepted immediately. Vert allowed, too.

We chose a D-Rank quest, which was to take down a row of Kupokitties that appeared on Virtua Forest. (Sound familiar? Read "Green Sister" by YuriLover567 on chapter 24)

We were already on Virtua Forest when we started talking with each other about some things, mostly about the weapons they used.

NepGear used a Light Saber to fight against the monsters, I could tell she was kind of an Gear-head with how much she talked about machines and stuff.

Uni used an Assault Rifle, and was sort of a Gun-Girl, given how much she likes guns. I believe she could be a good gunsmith.

Ram and Rom used magical staffs to attack, most of their magic was ice-based, since they came from LoWee.

I already told I use Custom Tonfas to fight, but with the Tonfas, I can also throw green Energy balls to damage the enemies or opponents in front of me.

My wish was to create a custom Tonfa for me, though. Vert has helped me by making a tonfa, but now I want to create one myself while using the sharicite from our Basilicom.

When we reached the appointed area, we saw various Kupokitties around the place. I counted 30 heads.

"Should we approach this the Hack-n-Slash way?" I murmured to the four.

"Seems so. It's the only way we're going to defeat them." Nepgear murmured back.

"Yosh!" Vertigo said, then jumped high in the air, and then punched his tonfa on the ground, dazing the Kupokitties in the area.

"Nice, Vertigo! You made them dizzy!" Nepgear said, materializing her Light Saber and grouping with Vertigo in the middle. Uni, Rom and Ram joined afterwards with their respective weapons.

(Play here: "Musou4Tune" from MDN VII)

(INITIALIZING FIGHTER MODE...)

"Saate... Game Hajimemashou!" Vertigo said before dashing to the monsters with the other Candidates and attacking them. Vertigo was always throwing kicks and punches and countered the attacks at a very fast speed.

"Whoa! Vertigo is very fast!" NepGear commented while hacking the monsters.

"That's pretty awesome for a male CPU like him!" Uni said while shooting the monsters.

"That's not all I've got!" Vertigo said before making a green energy ball from his right Tonfa.

"ENERGY BLAST!" He then throws the Energy into the monsters, creating a Green explosion on them.

"Mada mada!" Vertigo said again "SLASH COMBINATION!" using the Blades on the Tonfas' edges, he slashed away at the monsters, with the two sequences of SP attacks, he defeated 10-in-a-row.

The girls went eye-wide at that.

"Why are you so surprised? We have more monsters to take down!" Vertigo warned them, snapping them out of their shock. But then...

"Huh?" Vertigo looked back and saw that now it wasn't a Kupokitty invasion, but...

"What are these flying monsters?" NepGear said.

"Flying time." Vertigo said before tapping his hand on a wrist controller on his right arm.

(INITIALIZING SPACE MODE...)

Suddenly, they heard jet engine.

"What is that?" Ram asked.

"That is just something that I borrowed from a LoWee game." Vertigo said, then the source of the engine showed itself:

It was an Arwing.

"EEH!?" Ram and Rom got surprised to see something from THEIR games in the hands of a LeanBoxian.

"Hehehe! Sorry for borrowing your Arwing game..." Vertigo said, before jumping up and getting into the cockpit. "But we've got monsters to take out!"

After that, he blasted off against the monsters in his all-range mode and began shooting them down one-by-one.

The others were following him, activating their HDD forms and flying to defeat the enemies.

"This is crazy!" Uni commented. "I thought it was only Kupokitties that we should take care of!"

"Maybe I called the attention of too many monsters! Still, let's keep taking care of them!" Vertigo said while he kept shooting on the ship he had. The Arwing had the original Silver color on it, but it also had LeanBox's signature Green Color in the place of the Blue color.

Everyone kept shooting at the monsters and defeating all of them. When they finished with the monsters, Vertigo landed the Arwing together with the candidates, but then...

"Huh!?" Ram looked at a monster that was holding her staff! "Hey! Give that back! How did you get it anyway!?"

The monster was starting to want to run away, but Vertigo grabbed him, picked Ram's staff and then kicked the monster to god knows where.

"Here you go." Vertigo gives the staff to Ram.

"Thanks! You're a cool guy!"

The girls were really enjoying their new male friend, and the best part was that he was a Candidate just like them.

"So, who wants a ride back to Planeptune?" Vertigo asked.

"But the Arwing's gone." NepGear said.

"No problem!" Vertigo said before typing on his CPU Wrist watch again and suddenly another engine sound reached the Candidates' ears.

(INITIALIZING RACER MODE)

"What is that, now?" NepGear said. Before a Radically modified Sedan flew over their heads with an amazing jump, scaring the girls.

"Whoa, calm down, that's just a Subaru."

"A what?" Uni said in confusion before looking at the thing that jumped over them. It was actually a Subaru Impreza WRX STi from 2004. Uni played the Gran Turismo games to know what car was that.

"Ah. I see." Uni said. "I wouldn't be surprised if it was a car from a Racing game, me and Noire know a very successful one. Although this Impreza looks nothing like the Rally cars from the game..."

"That's because it's NOT from said game." Vertigo explained. "It's from a LeanBox game called 'Forza Horizon'. They'll be launching the third one in the last month of this year or maybe the start of the next year."

"I think I played that game once..." NepGear said "It was really fun! It had a festival where people dance and sing in various stages! Although what you only did there was stay in the car and you couldn't take part in any of the shows..."

"What counts is the feeling, right?" Vertigo said to her.

"True!"

Vertigo then picked what looked like an electric remote of the car and opened its doors. "Who wants a ride to Planeptune?"

Everyone got in the car and Vertigo started it. "Let's have some fun!"

The car spun its wheels and the Candidates launched on their way to Planeptune. A convenient Dirt path opened up for Vertigo to follow that had turns, bumps, dips and everything you'd think it would be on a Rally game.

The Candidates were scared each jump Vertigo did, but after some time, they were cheering and shouting for him to keep going.

After all of what they did, their fun was over before they even started.

"I really wanted to do more things with you, Vertigo!" Nepgear commented.

"Yeah, you are a fun person to be around with... I don't really care that much, though." Uni said.

"Come on Uni! We was way past cool! Right, Rom?!"

"Yeah. Vertigo is very cool!"

I was being very glad that these girls were starting to like me. And if I ever want to hang with them, I can just visit their nations for that to happen.

These next years are going to be the best ones that I will ever have in this world! I thought.

Phew!

Jesus Christ! Sorry for taking so long to upload this chapter, lots of things have been going on...

Mostly regarding my work and a baby at my house, but anyway.

Hope you enjoy this start and again: Each Green Brother is owned by their respective creator. This one's mine.
