Chapter 7 - "Changes"

? POV...Day 8... Yanuary 2D8J, DECO...

Okay, this may sounds so stupid.

I'm apparently in some sort of a den of... a horse headed bird?

What the heck?

I can't be seeing things. This is definitely real.

Although so weird, the creatures weren't hostile enough. That is if I disturb them.

Like Vir Tuaforest, I'm also in another forest but I can't fine the name so I leave it random.

I really wonder how far I am really. I've been here for almost a month yet it seems endless for me. You wouldn't know.

Histoire flipped through the pages of the book. She was practically stressed after the events ever so randomly happened.

Weird monsters suddenly attacked from out of nowhere. Another secret goddess that no one but the CPUs will knowknow. And this million year old journal.

Histoire give her shot to read this if it is well worth a shot.

And well, at first it didn't.

Her eyes were begging for recharge. It was closely to midnight now. The date seem... what. The 'Yanuary', Histoire thought about it. And then, here's '2D1A'. It was an unknown date, and the years was a big letters instead of a number.

But then, she caught an interesting detail.

Day 14... Vebrari 1A3C, DECO...

Oh no.

I was just walking in this cave full of crystals that shine brightly enough for not the cave to be dark.

But it freak me out because it started to go dimmer and dimmer until everything goes black.

In the darkness, I thought I bumbed into a pillar or rocks.

But do rocks yelped like a little girl?

I met this girl who goes by the name of 'Idea Factory'.

Oh! Is this a building that helps gives idea?

I thought that first but she tells me that it wasn't.

She can stubborn and serious when I met her in a... 'awkward' way. Honestly, it is embarrassing.

Her outfit was kinda cool and legit. Her blonde hair mixed nicely with her flame-black outfit.

But hey! I got a companion! Which is awesome!

"IF..."

Histoire muttered sadly.

There was a blurred picture just below Davoh's signature. Histoire knows the person in the picture, it was IF.

Day 19... Vebrari 3C5E, DECO...

Hehehe.

Idea wasn't that bad.

She actually was cute, but hey! She will not see this super duper notebook of mine.

Oh yeah, we're in some sort of a small house. Made of straws on the roof while the rest are made of bamboo. We don't know who live here. And if do, we could've see things inside.

But only empty space. There's a few chairs here and there. There are two room but one of the room was stuck for some reason.

And so thus the awkwardness happen when we shared one room.

There's no sofa in the living room and the place was still dusty.

Day 20... Uarch 6F, DECO...

Wow...

I'm proud already that I left Planera.

This place is definitely a Paradise to me and Idea.

Just look at this place!

It's freaking awesome! Giant flowers!

So tall that it reaches the same height of the tree.

This is definitely a paradise to me.

- Davoh "Dominio" Printz

Day 25... Uarch 2B5E, DECO...

Umm...

I'm seeing this, aren't I?

T-There's another city.

More surprisingly, this is where Idea's homeland are.

I'm super duper nervous here. It's just only two or three months since I left Planera? It was like years since I saw a building to me.

And meeting people again brings both sad and good memories.

This place is air polluted as hell but good thing not the water. Doesn't matter, we're on our way on the hotel. And socializing was still awkward to me.

By the way, this isssss...

Lastana!

- Davoh "Dominio" Printz

Day 31... Graypil 1A, DECO...

So far so good living in Lastana, it is not that awfully bad if you disregard the air pollution. 'Cause this place was to good to be Idea's surname.

Kidding!

Moving on, unlike I remember from Planera. It was a great city with technologies and stuffs that seems so cool to use but it was still an item that can reach to limit, if I'm correct?

Also, unlike Planera, Lastana's stuffs seems pretty normal to me.

Despite being almost the same as Planera it was just normal unlike Planera's advanced technologies. But Lastana's item was durable and stronger and longer that it will reach perhaps your old age.

And thanks to Idea, we finally have food!

Oh thank gosh they have this "Leche Flan", delicious as heaven.

Next Day...

Neptune, Noire, Vert, Blanc and Compa sat on the chairs assigned to them by Histoire.

"Have anyone of you heard 'Planera'?" the fairy tome asked.

No one answered, but Blanc stands as spoke, "Planera was a first name of Planeptune. It was once named as 'Planereptune' an the middle ages, titling as 'The Land of Advancement'."

"Where did you get this info?" Noire asked skeptically.

"It is according to most of historians. You didn't know, Lowee was a history hunter long time ago. Although I forgot mostly but the names only." she bit her lip softly.

Histoire nodded, "Indeed it is worthy enough. But what troubles me is, Davoh mentioned that there's a sky meter high wall that surrounds the Planera but it was far from them."

Neptune grow bored suddenly, "Isn't we have walls now? Even Lasty-"

"It's Lastation." Noire corrected her.

"-Leandi-"

"Leanbox." Vert stated firmly.

"-and Mommy."

Blanc's comical vein appeared in her forehead, "Lo. Wee. Lowee."

"Doesn't matter, the same." Neptune slumped her head on the table.

The other CPUs, except Compa, give Neptune a evil glare.

"Abababababa, don't fight now." Histoire quickly said due to panic.

"That's bad Nep-Nep. Even if it's the best(?) nickname for the nations. You should respect it." Compa scolded the spoiled brat.

Neptune sweat dropped, "Umm, why there's a question mark inside the parenthesis after the best?" she break.

A loud cracking of glass sound erupted around the room.

"I just hope it wasn't our windows Neptune." Histoire glared at the CPU.

"Nepu?! Why me?" Neptune pouted.

Compa giggled at Neptune's childish pout, "Oh Nep-Nep, the always and will be Nep-Nep."

Sighing, Histoire continued, "Anyway, we need to call Avoh about this-"

"Blanc-sama! Blanc-sama!" a hologram appeared in the middle of the room, facing Histoire.

A face of Lowee's Oracle, Mina, sighed in relief.

"Mina? What's wrong? How's Ram and Rom?" Blanc placing her two hands in the table as she stand from her place.

"They're fine Lady Blanc but Mr. Avoh wanted to say you something." Mina moved aside as a black haired young man appeared.

"A?/Avoh?" Neptune, Compa, Noire, Vert and Histoire said.

"Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing okay. Umm, I'm sorry if I disturbed something?" Avoh raised an eyebrow.

"No it's fine. So what brings you here Avoh?" the tome asked.

Avoh scratched at the back of his neck as he awkwardly chuckled, "I was asking if Blanc could give me back the book she stole from me before."

"Book?" Blanc said, "What book?"

"The 'Universes' one." Avoh said as his face slowly changes to a worry one, "Please don't tell me you lost it."

"No, I still actually have it." Blanc reassured as Avoh sighed, "Although your book is great and full of sci-fis, it's still a weird book."

"Hey, at least don't judge my fetish." Avoh complained.

Histoire looked interested suddenly, "What's that book?"

"It's a book that tells about recreation and stuffs related to science mostly." Blanc shrugged.

Noire scoff, "That's sure is boring than Neptune's over and over game."

Neptune whined loudly at this statement.

"Recreation and stuffs?" Vert suddenly thought as something sparked in her brain, "I got it!"

Everyone seem a little shaken out at Vert's outburst, "Is it a fiction?"

"Half." Blanc said, "Because it's almost connected to the past."

"You mean that the True God and the three True Goddesses sightings?!" Neptune and the others seems shocked, except Compa who was unnoticeably uncomfortable and quite for some reason and she was staring at Avoh through the hologram.

Everyone turn their heads to Compa, Avoh looks confused as he followed their gazes. His eyes instantly dropped to the peach eyes of Compa.

Their was a silent.

No one sees it or even noticed but Compa's eyes turned completely pink with white power symbols while Avoh's eyes turned into a bright red and blue (left and right) with the same white power symbols.

Suddenly, everything turns back to normal both Compa and Avoh looked away from each other as they both winced in pain.

"Ow..."

"Aw crap!"

Histoire blinked, "Did something just happened?" averting her gaze.

Noire raised her eyebrow as she look at the two, "Are you two alright?"

Avoh nodded, "Y-Yeah, something just entered my eyes, like a dust or something."

On the screen, a small dragon suddenly appeared at Avoh's shoulder. It began purring his neck with affectionate.

"Is that-?!" Blanc gasped, too shocked to believed.

The others as well seems surprised.

A different Ancient Dragon, a white baby dragon with black wings and claws.

"How in Gamindustri did you get this dragon?! Moreover, HOW did you tame that beast?!" Blanc hissed as the dragon noticed it and tried to hide behind Avoh due to fear.

Avoh give Blanc a small glare as he petted his new pet, "Hey! At least be nice. Because this is my best friend," looking at the dragon as he smiled, "Right buddy?" the dragon just let out a toothy smile and nod.

"R-Right... anyway let's continue the meeting because we're getting off topic here." Histoire said.

And thus far the whining Neptune, they proceeded the meeting.

Same day, after the meeting...

Neptune, in HDD form, sat silently at the edge of the balcony under the large ball of light in the dark sky. Her feet was swinging from below as her braided twintails sway from side to side every wind passed by her.

It was a cold night, much to her dismay.

But she waiting. Waiting for something... or rather, someone.

And whoever it was, already appeared.

"Magic, isn't?" Purple Heart muttered as she turned her head towards the once former leader of ASIC, CFW Magic.

The dark pinky violet skin woman stared ever so motionless, the same piercing eyes that she give to her after the younger goddesses saves them.

Magic glared at her, holding her familiar scythe but her wings are nowhere to be seen, "So, why did you call me here for? Nonsensical again?" she spat.

Purple Heart sighed deeply as she turned her head back to the city.

It's true that Purple Heart was secretly calling Magic for just a reason but she just call her last time and began talking to her. At first, both was uncomfortable and still angry at each other. But after a few weeks, it was just a normal talking. Still uncomfortable but at the very least not that ever so hostile. So far so good, they still cannot trust each other. And Neptune was fine with that.

Purple Heart tapped beside her as she motioned the Hard to sit beside her.

Nonchalantly, Magic hovered from her place as she sat beside Purple Heart.

An awkward floated between the rival fighter.

"How's the other felons by the way?" Purple Heart decided to break the iceberg forming around them. She didn't move her face bit her eyes to look at Magic's emotionless gazing at her city.

Magic didn't answered quickly, "Since ASIC is no more. Brave was secretly helping citizens by giving them whatever he has in Lastation."

It's now officially true that the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime was now fallen apart and was still at the history books somewhere in Lowee. Including the anti crystals was now at the hands of Lastation.

There's a rumor about a certain robot lurking around the city and giving things to the citizens Lastation. Especially to the kids. Noire was alarmed at first and decided to end him quickly but Brave didn't fight back, even he has his weapon. Surprisingly, many children whom Brave helped and give gifts protected him and some other parents as well. Lastation finally accepted Brave in the city mostly by every children he love. And in fact, a CPU Candidate has some crush on him.

And Brave was now the trusted Lastationite. Even Noire trusted him after one month of proving that he was innocent enough.

"Judge was still the same but he was not that energetic like before."

Purple Heart quietly giggles when mentioning Judge's name.

Vert once tell them about him. He was just a demolisher when he was bores. And shockingly, he was so lazy rather than before. It needed a Green Heart to start waking him up inside his cave in Leanbox's forest.

Judge was like Brave but he was finally accepted.

"That sick bastard however changed."

CFW Trick was the most unbelievable felon. He just changed his whole appearance, body was like Brave and the tongue was nowhere. In fact, they heard that he was a engineering of defensive team.

"And if you're thinking that I will be like them, mind your tongue, I can still kill you all." Magic growl.

Purple Heart grinned at the Hard girl, mentally giggling at the back of her head at her stubborn personality, "Oh come, I cannot lost to them! It's an unfair redeeming."

Magic back away a few inches from the whining goddess, "You cannot fool me. And please, stop."

"Please?" Purple Heart pleaded.

"No."

"Yes?"

"No."

"Yes?"

"No."

"No?"

"No."

"Gaah...!"

"Please stop."

"Hey come on! Be part of Planeptune! If you do , I'm not gonna below to the others!"

"As if I will lend you a hand."

And the two went to their arguments like the same. It was a sweet cold night just only them.

...or so they thought...

A figure of a woman was crossing her arms, glaring at Magic from behind.

Only a two black leaves with flames like drawing on it.

Lastation...

"Bye bye Mr. Brave-chan!" shouted a little girl that was carrying a small plastic with few candies and and few girl toys waved at the yellow colored robot who was flying away while waving at the little girl back.

Brave silently stepped down at the balcony of the Basilicom.

"Now where have you've been."

Noire said, her arms was crossing at her chest.

Good thing to know that the four felons becomes shorter, they have a height of only about... to the ceiling thank almost a building passed the house.

"It's the usual, Lady Noire." Brave said.

Noire raised an eyebrow, a small suspicious was in her eyes.

"He just do what he always do, Lady Noire."

Turning their attention as another person joined their conversation.

Ganache.

Noire sighed contently, "Good. At least."

Ganache snickered, "Don't worry, Lady Noire. My eyes will catch him if he'll do anything suspicious."

"After a month of my innocence, you still cannot trust me, Lady Noire?" Brave said, with a hint of small sadness.

"It's not that I mean it. What I mean is, despite you and the others changes, I'm still worried at the place you four corrupted." Noire closed her left eye as she look at the tall robot.

"I see." Brave said.

Ganache laughed, "I'm still surprised that I never get an interrogation with the ASIC before."

"Haha, very funny." Brave sarcastically laughed.

Leanbox...

"Oi! Wake up you warmonger bastard!"

Green Heart poked the robot by her spear using the blunt side to his back, her other hand was on her hip.

Judge groaned in dismay as tried to shut his system down but failed due to the noise, that was being creating by his captor, Lady Vert.

"Would you just leave me alone for a damn day?!" Judge shouted, "You pieced of racks!"

Green Heart gasped, truly offended at mentioning her breasts, "How dare you talked to my symbols of divinity?! Just remember. You. Have. A. Work. Tomorrow."

Judge groaned loudly as it echo throughout his cave. The demolisher the however laughed awkwardly at the argument of their goddess and their leader of demolition team.

"Lady Vert sures has a guts to meet the abomination." Cave said, sounding still impressed but her stoic face says otherwise.

Lyrica, or we all know miss 5pb., wearing a large cloak that cover her whole self but it has a hoodie that hides her upper face only. Leaving the lower part open. It was to avoid attention, she was standing beside Cave as she giggled at her personal guard's statement, "That's our lady... and our demolisher."

"Please for the sake of myself, leave me alone!" Judge shouted. "And besides, it's night and tomorrow is my DAY OFF!"

"Ooh that doesn't mean I can't make you work! You've been ignoring your demolition team lately just to shut down and be lazy nearly all day!" Vert shouted back.

"Get off of me!"

"Don't you dare-?!"

Lowee...

Blanc and Mina stood in surprise as she saw a completely different Trick make a giant castle inside of Rom and Ram room.

"Tada~!" Trick said as he stood beside the castle while spreading his arms.

"Whoa..." Ram muttered in amazement.

Rom jumped in glee, "That's so cool Mr. Trick."

"Anything for Miss Ram and Miss Rom." Trick guinely said.

Ram grumbled while Rom smiled brightly.

"Okay everyone, it's night time. Time for your sleep, Ram, Rom." Mina said as she approached at the twins, "Say goodbye to Mr. Trick."

"Awww..." Rom whined sadly.

"D-Doesn't matter!" Ram stuttered as she look away.

"Come on, Mr. Trick will come back tomorrow." Mina reassured the two.

The twins look up at Mina with hope in their eyes. Mina look at Trick for clarification.

"Indeed, little princesses. You shall see me again. Piece!"

Few minutes later...

"Oi, you better thank me, if it wasn't for the two. You're already disappeared long before." Blanc snarled as she walked silently with Trick at her side.

Trick gulped(?) nervously, "Like I always said, Lady Banc. It wasn't me, the two can't just stop pulling me."

"Better be." Blanc sighed.

Somewhere...

Another giant landmass like every nation.

The big difference is, there's no building but hills and fields with trees.

But you can see houses and a few villages. And people as well.

In the very middle of the landmass, there was a single lone facility(?) with six giant artillery attached around it.

Eden, the Land of Yellow Morning.

This landmass is unofficially known throughout but...

"Mommy! Let's play! Let's play."

...few of this people, are known.

Peashy, or Yellow Heart and Rei Ryghts, or Cyan Heart, ruled this landmass.

Rei smiled, "Come on, let's play with the others."

Peashy cheered happily as they started to walk toward the nearest village.

Several minutes later...

"Heh, our goddess sure has a quite of a life." muttered by an old man as he sat in the crate, holding a cup of water in his hand. Near him was also seating the goddess of Tari, or the mother of their goddess.

In front of them was a clear view of a wide landscape, a peaceful one. Peashy and many children plays, either hide n' seek, tag or whatever they play. As long as they didn't go far, and the children seem quite happy and enjoying themselves. Parents are watching them play from the sidelines.

Rei nodded and smiled, "Yes, sir. In fact even, we're happy that you all still have faith in us. Despite of what happened, of what I did."

The old man chuckled, "Everything has a limit, and if you passed that limit, bad things happened.", his lips turned thin.

Rei lowered her head slightly.

"But that doesn't mean you can't go back. It maybe that you feared it but that doesn't mean you can't change it."

Rei looked up and smiled once more, "Yeah, a past is a past."

"So, why not try?"

"...h-hehe, t-thank you."

DARKNESS...

"Fantastic!" said the second voice with sinister glee.

The first voice growled, "What not?"

"I actually saw one of the story's monsters! This story called, Pastdimension Neptunia. It's the END Form."

"END?"

"Never got the meaning but who the fuck cares when we obtain that form and be ours, this could do the fantastical role for our army!"

"Master would be pleased by this performance. Nice done."

"Yeah, that's not all, I will still continue to venture around the realms of every stories that are mysteriously untold. But two things that I'm also fascinated about."

"What is it?"

"The story I ventured, the Ascension, the CPU God and his servants. And the Successors of the Goddess' main enemy, Drillix the demon."

"We have more than that."

"I do believe so. Maybe those are just weaklings, once they're dead. They're ours."

"And the special soul as well..."

"Hm? What is it?"

"Uhrevia..."
