LEANBOX OVERDRIVE
ARC 1 - THE GAMINDUSTRI FIGHTING TOURNAMENT
1st Chapter: A shocking Invite
Vertigo was doing a jog around LeanBox. He has been doing lots of things on his weeks as a new born CPU Candidate. Hanging out with the other Candidates, quests, visiting the other nations, doing his work with Vert and Chika. He has been through a lot, but is getting used to it.
While he was jogging, he stopped when he heard the following words:
"Hey! You there!"
Vert looked around for who called him and found a girl with a blonde Mohawk hair.
Another thing he noticed is that the hair sparked electricity.
"Me?" He said.
"Yeah, you! Who else is the CPU Candidate of LeanBox?" She said, making Vertigo laugh a little.
"OK, OK. So whadaya want?"
"Here" The girl gives Vertigo a card with a flower stamped on its fold. "I'm inviting you, the Candidates, the CPUs and the Makers for a once-in-a-lifetime action packed Tournament!" The girl announced.
"WHOA! A fighting tournament!?" Vertigo got surprised.
"Yeah!" The girl replied, sparking her hair. "My name is Queen! And I'll be waiting you all there!" with that, the girl ran the other way.
Vertigo looked around the card, inspecting it.
This looks like the KOF invite card... He thought.

Dear CPUs and CPU Candidates
You are formally invited to Gamindustri's new Fighting Tournament. The Tournament's rules are as followed:
3 vs 3 battle, one member is the CPU, the other is the Candidate and the last is chosen by you two.
On the Battle, each Round is composed by one member, if the member loses, the next round will start with the other member and it follows until all three members have been Knocked Out.
The Finals will be against a sole fighter, which is the main organizer: Queen.
Have fun and Good Luck!
"A fighting tournament?" Vert asked in confusion.
"And in KOF style, like I'm reading here." Vertigo said.
"But, who will we choose as a partner?"
"Why not Chika? She's a decent fighter!" A reason for Vertigo to say that is because he's been trying to make Vert notice Chika on all ways, it works most of the time.
"Really?" Vert said while looking at Chika, which was holding a Double Edged spear behind her and with a smile.
"Hmm... I think this could work." After Vert said that, Chika started jumping up and down very happy.
"We should go to the other nations and see if the others want to take part in this!" Vertigo said to them, which his sisters agreed.
1st Team:
LEANBOX TEAM
Vert / Vertigo / Chika
The LeanBox team were now traveling to LoWee to see the CPUs and Oracle if they were going to take part in the Tournament. Vertigo was pretty close to Blanc because of the Bust problem. Although he liked being around Vert, her breasts just did not make him comfortable, and Blanc clearly understood that.
"Hey Blanc!" Vertigo called her, Ram and Rom immediately perked up and ran to Vertigo, which lifted them. Ram and Rom really liked to be around Vertigo because he looked like an Older Brother for them.
"Oh, what are you guys doing here?" Blanc asked them.
"There's an invite going around the nations of a fighting Tournament. Did you get the invite?" Vert asked her, in which Blanc responded by showing her a white envelope. "I'm going with Ram and Mina, Rom said she didn't like these fighting Tournaments and was only going to watch."
"Ah, I see."
Meanwhile Vertigo was chasing Ram and Rom in a game of Tag around the Basilicom. Vert giggled at that. "They sure do look like brothers and sisters, right?"
"At least he's better than you, Thunder Tits." Blanc grinned at her.
"Blanc! Didn't I tell you NOT to call my sister that!?" Vertigo said from a distance. As much as he liked Blanc, he did not like her insults, but Blanc just giggled at that. "So Vert. What are you doing?"
"We're visiting the other nations to see if our friends want to participate in the Tournament."
"Ah. I guess I could come along." Blanc said.
"Gotcha!" Vertigo had tackled Ram right when Blanc said that.
"So... When are we leaving?"
2nd Team:
LOWEE TEAM
Blanc / Ram / Mina
Both teams then traveled to LaStation. Hopefully Noire and Uni wouldn't act like the Tsunderes they know.
"And so we're asking if you're going too." Blanc and Vert already told Noire about the Tournament. Vertigo and Uni were talking to each other about their personal lives and some new moves they gained.
"Yeah. It's a good opportunity to popularize my nation. Kei had already received training and her Main weapon is the Claymore sword." Noire said.
"Ah, I see."
Meanwhile, with Vertigo and Uni...
"And so I learned some new exploding moves or something like that..." Uni was talking about some new moves she learned to do while training.
"I like the V-Slasher, though. It's a pretty cool move!" Vertigo said.
"You know some of my moves?"
"I played KOF for a reason." That got Uni to laugh a little. For some reason that Uni can't describe, whenever she's close to Vertigo, her Tsundere nature just fades away and lets her talk like any normal person to him.
"Besides, of course Neptune would accept the invite, you know how she is." Noire said to the CPUs.
"Let's go visit her at least, I mean... Maybe she doesn't have a Third member!"
3rd Team:
LASTATION TEAM
Uni / Noire / Kei
"Yeah. I'm still having troubles with a Third member, hehe!" Neptune said "That, and I grew Psycho powers for some reason..."
"Psycho Powers?" Blanc was confused.
Asamiya Athena and Sie Kensou... Vertigo thought. "So, Neptune. Shall we look for a Third party member for you?"
"I appreciate the help!" Neptune said.
"Can I go, too?" Nepgear asked.
"Of course you can, Nepgear. Don't even need to ask!" Vertigo said.
"Yay!"
Histoire said so herself that she doesn't want to take part in the Tournament, so they searched for another Party Member.
Eventually, a girl showed up that were practicing some Karate moves.
"Oh!" Vertigo found her and instantly recognized the moves. KyokugenRyu! "Hey! Miss!" He called her, making her stop what she was doing and look at him and the CPUs behind her. "Whoa... I am granted the honor of seeing the CPUs in front of me!"
"Well, we were asking if you wanted to join Neptune's 3-member team for a Tournament that's going to happen." Vertigo said.
"Hmm... I would, but can the CPU show me her skills first?" She asked, which was, of course, a challenge.
"Neptune?" Vertigo called her.
"OK! Firstly, what's your name, sweety?"
"Kyoko Gen." She answered.
"Alright!"

ROUND 1
READY... GO!
"Let's go, Neptune!"
"You can do it!"
Kyoko already started the fight "KoouKen!", but Neptune avoided the attack and released her own "Choukyuudan!" which was a Psycho Ball, that Kyoko parried with a Jodan Uke, but couldn't evade or parry the next punches, kicks and slashes that Neptune did, making a 12-hit combo.
"Awesome Combo!" Vertigo shouted.
Kyoko got back up. "Hien Shippu Kya-!" but Neptune countered and used up a bar of her SP gauge.
"Kokode wa, Kimasu!" Neptune charged up a stronger Psycho Ball on her hands. "Shinryuu... CHOUKYUUDAN!" When she launched the bigger ball, it hit Kyoko and sent her backwards, making her HP gauge have only one bar now.
"Whoa! OP Alert!" Vertigo said "Author, are you even giving a chance to Kyoko?"
Her chance is coming right now!
Neptune started comboing Kyoko again, but then...
"KOHOU!"
"C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!" Vertigo comically announced and Kyoko stated doing a great combo on Neptune.
"KyokugenRyu Ougi!" Kyoko said, initializing the crazy combo that was the Ryuuko Ranbu. "ORAORAORAORAORAORA!" and then she finished with a Kohou "Morata!"
"Well Author, I guess I underestimated you."
Thank you, Vertigo.
"Whoooooa... What the hell of a trip was that?" Neptune got dizzy, but got back just in time where the KoouKen was heading for her. She used the Psycho Reflector to take it back to Kyoko, who parried, but...
"Hissatsu!" Neptune just used TWO bars of her SP gauge and Elbowed Kyoko. "Kore wa... Anata o Shuryo Shimasu!" She charged one of her Swords and then...
"VICTORY SLASH!" Slashed across Kyoko, defeating her.
"NANDATO!?"
Neptune WINS!
"Anata wa tameshite mite, watashi no yo ni suru hitsuyo ga arimasu! Toriosae, shikashi odorokubeki sentoki!"
Everyone was clapping, Nepgear just outright ran to her sister and hugged her.
"Pretty amazing, Miss Purple!" Kyoko said. "I'll gladly join your team!"
"Yay! Thank you, Kyoko!" Neptune said, now the Planeptune Team is ready.
4th Team
PLANEPTUNE TEAM
Neptune / Kyoko Gen / Nepgear
When Vertigo, Vert and Chika got back to their nation, they began planning on how they would organize their teams for the fights. They had a long talk, but they were able to have the Strategy set up.
All that rested now was wait for the Tournament to start.
If you're curious about the other teams, here they are:
Guild Team: IF / Compa / Red

A Warning: Axel, Takashi, Chris, Asashi, Alex and Kenichi are OCs from other authors that I wanted to Tribute here. I'm sorry if this does not please the authors of the stories.
Before the Tournament can start, there will be something called "EX Chapter", which is a Chapter inside the Arc that is an event that relates or not to the canon. It can happen at Canon time, or this chapter happened on another time.
Saate... Ikou-se!
