This is my first fic so I hope you all enjoy it. It will be following the Rebirth 2 story and the first hand full of chapters will serve as a prelude to the game.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hyperdimension Neptunia, just my story and oc(s).
It was a normal day in Gamindustri and Noire was at her desk doing work as usual. It was about mid-day and she suddenly hears footsteps getting closer to her door and moving at a fast rate. She had a bad feeling coming over her and before she can look over to the door it bursts open with a girl with short purple hair running through.
"Hey there Noire I came to see what Ms. lonely hart was doing and to make sure you were coming to the meeting later." It was who she thought, Neptune.
Noire quickly snaps back at the girl "Stop calling me that! Of course I'm coming but it doesn't start for four hours right?"
"Ya, but I thought that you would like to go get some pudding with me since I am the closest person you have to a friend." Neptune walks over to Noire and starts to poke her in the shoulder. "I'm not going to let you say no this time, I'll keep poking you till the horsebirds come home."
"Grrr, fine just stop touching me." Saying this Noire slaps Neptune's hand, stands up and marches out of her room.
"Uni I'm going out with Neptune, I'll be back after the meeting."
Uni pokes her head out of her room enough to see the two while saying "Okay, see you later sis, have a good time." After that the duo head out of the basilicom and down the street.
After grabbing their pudding, the two girls walk along the streets of Lastation. They were making small talk and Neptune of course poking some fun at Noire's expense until they came upon a body at the end of an alley way. It was what appeared to be a teenage boy, covered in bruises and small cuts.
"Wonder what happened to him." Noire mutters out loud to herself, Neptune walks over to where the boy was and grabs a stick out of nowhere and starts poking the boy with it. "I don't know Noire but I'm trying to see if he's still alive."
With an aggravated tone Noire quickly retorts "He probably needs medical attention not you poking him and making it worse!"
Neptune just casually replies with a ditsy grin on her face "probably, but that wouldn't be as fun." As she finishes her statement the boy starts to groan and opens his eyes about half way, they both look at the boy immediately but what the saw next shocked them both. The boy's body shot out electricity in all directions almost hitting Neptune, not just that his arm which was laying downward at his side was at his head without either one seeing it happen even though they never took their eyes off the body.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Noire quickly snaps "See that's why I told you to stop poking him Neptune!"
Neptune turned to look at Noire with a slight frown on her face and replied "Hey, aren't you concerned about me? I almost got hit by that. But I guess we should have Compa take a look at him. So let's grab him and go." Neptune throws the boy over her shoulder and the two make their way to Planeptune.
As the two get to the basilicom with the boy in tote Neptune yells out "I'm home!" Noire also announces her presence "Hey everyone."
Nepgear replies "Hey sis, hi Noire, I didn't expect you two for a few more hours."
"Ya, something happened and we decided to head back early Nep Jr."
As Nepgear walks into the living room she sees on more than usual "Who's that sis?" As her eyes peer over to the boy she sees that he had fair skin, short messy strawberry blonde hair, a black athletic t-shirt, red athletic shorts with a black stripe down each side, he also wore scarlet red shoes with black laces. Also she noticed how badly the shape of his body and clothes. "What the goodness?! What happened to him?" Neptune just keeps on with the grin that seems to be plastered to her face while Noire sighs at Neptune's lacking the ability to be serious in her human form.
"Well as Nowa and I were walking around we found him lying at the entrance of an ally way all hurt like this so I decided to poke him with a stick."
Noire scoffs "I told her not to do that but does she listen no."
Neptune quickly replies with "Since it was you talking of course I wasn't miss no friends." Neptune's goofy grin gets bigger while saying this.
"Stop saying things like that!" Noire snaps back while smacking Neptune on the back of the head.
"Oww! That hurt Nowa." Neptune stuck out her tongue at Noire. "Well Nep Jr. to get back to my answer, while I was poking him electricity exploded out of him and his arm practically teleported at the same time. So I thought it would be best to let Compa take a look and see if everything's ok. So if you could call her that would be nice Jr." Nepgear still kind of confused from the whole situation nodded and went to call Compa.
"What is with all the yelling I thought Neptune was out?" look it's everyone's favorite tome Histoire flying in on her book.
"Hi, Histy I'm back." Said Neptune with a smile
"Hello Neptune" Histoire said with a slight groan, there went her quiet time. "Hello Noire, I did not expect to see you here this early." Histoire eyes the boy now laying on the couch "Who is this?" with question marks floating around her head.
Nepgear comes in saying "Compa is on her way Neptune."
The short girl replies quickly "Thanks Jr. I'll explain everything to ya then Histy."
*One explanation later* "and that's everything." Neptune finishes with a smile. Histoire sighs "You're a CPU you should be helping people not poking them while they are hurt."
"Hey I helped him." Neptune quickly reported to the floating fairy.
"Yes but not until after you jabbed him with a stick." Noire pointed out.
A few moments later Compa walked into the room, Neptune was the first to notice "Hey Compa!" she yells while jumping into Compa
"Hi Nep-Nep" replies a happy Compa, she liked the how nice Nep was even though she did go overboard a few times.
"Can you believe it Compa Noire and Histy were saying that I was in the wrong while rescuing this fine lad."
Compa gives Nep a half smile while scratching the back of her head and says "Well Nep-Nep, Ge-Ge told me what happened and it's not good to poke someone when they have so many boo-boos."
"NOOOOO, et tu Compa." Neptune cries out while dramatically clutching her chest as if she was shot.
"She's right Nep." Walking in is none other than the wind walker of Gamindustri herself IF.
Histoire flying over "Hello to you both, Compa can you take a look at the young man, he is on the couch."
"Ok" Compa replies walking over to the couch. "Leave it to me Nep-Nep, I'll have him fixed in a jiffy."
"Ok Compa, do your best. Come on Noire lets go play games until Blanc and Vert get here." With that Neptune walks to her room with Noire in tow.
A couple of hours later Blanc and Vert show up for their meeting to figure out what they were going to do about ASIC. They had decided that the four of them and Nepgear would go to the Gamindustri graveyard in a month to deal with them.
The boy who was now moved into the guest room slowly opened his eyes to see a dark room with walls painted purple, pink trimmings and a lilac carpet. He saw two doors in the room, one to his left (guessing it led to the bathroom) and the other adjacent from the bed. There is a purple dresser with white drawers up against the right wall, a white night table to the right and left side of the bed, he himself was in a king size bed with purple blankets. 'Man, where am I? Well it looks like a girl's room and looks like someone patched me up.' He thinks to himself as he sits up and sees his shirt and pants on the night table. 'Might as well see what's going on and thank them for what they did.' He gets up, puts on his clothes and starts walking toward the door, opens it walks out and closes the door behind him. With the height of about 5ft 10in and blue eyes. What he saw next surprised him, he saw four girls huddled around a tv and it appears they are playing a video game of some sort, two girls walking in the room holding snacks, and another girl up against a wall talking on her phone.
Neptune being the first to notice jumps up yelling "He's up!" and jumps toward the guy who barely dodging the purple haired girl while she hits face first into the door. "Nepu! Oww." She cries out rubbing her head as she stands up.
Blanc and Vert look at him while Vert asks "Who's this?"
Noire turned toward them answering "We found him in Lastation unconscious and beat down pretty badly so we brought him here to let Compa fix him up."
Neptune jumping up and down with a large smile on her face "Hey how ya doin, what's your name, why were you knocked out…"
Noire shouts at the hyperactive girl "Neptune, shut up so he can answer one question at a time!"
The boy with a confused look on his face replies to the barrage of questions "M-my name is Desmond Sparks, but before I go any further I think I need some answers, and is she always like this?" pointing to the short purple hair girl in question.
Noire sighed saying "yes."
Neptune with a small frown responding "Hey I don't act like this all the time, just most of the time. Anyway we found you knocked out in an ally so we brought you back here." She pointed at Noire as she finished. "I'm Neptune, the ultimate protag of protagonists. That's Noire, Blanc, and Vert." pointing at each girl respectively. "And over there is my kid sister Nepgear, If, and Compa. She's the one who fixed ya up."
Desmond trying to retain the information he has just heard said "Well, hello everyone and thank you Compa for your help." He gives her a small smile then looked out the window and asked "Where am I?" not recognizing the landscape.
"You're in Planeptune silly." Nep remarks with a great big grin.
"Ya I don't know what or where that is."
"Oh, do you have amnesia? It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened around here." Nep just looks at him getting closer to his face.
"No, I remember what happened before I was knocked out. I was going home from the store and had gone down an alley which I used periodically as a shortcut. While I was walking a few muggers jumped me out of nowhere, I was able to fight them off but in the end I started to black out and well I guess you know the rest. But it still doesn't explain why the I don't know why I'm in this Planeptune place." He pondered with a hand on his chin.
Right before Nep could say anything else they hear a voice from the other room getting louder "Neptune why are you yelling!?"
Desmond looks and sees the small girl flying on a book and he jumped up a half a foot in the air. "What is that?! Pointing at the tiny girl in question
Histoire surprised by the outburst jumps a little herself. "Hello I am Histoire, I am the oracle of Planeptune. It is nice to meet you?"
"Desmond, Desmond Sparks. I have to ask the question again and I hope I can get a clearer answer from you, but where am I? What is Planeptune?"
"Well it looks like you are not from around here. I'll explain where you are." Histoire said floating over toward Desmond.
*After explanation*
"Ok I think I understand now. You four are CPUs that each rule their own nation, to help protect your nations you all have a second form called HDD. All the nations except Leanbox has a CPU candidate. Shares help strengthen you, the four of you used to fight each other in the console war, but your now all friends. And a group has tried to come up against you all called ASIC and you four and Neptune's sister Nepgear are going to stop them next month. Did I leave anything else important out?" Desmond leans back on the couch after regurgitating the information he just heard.
Neptune gives him a bright smile and a thumbs up saying "That's about right Dez."
"Dez?" Desmond gave her a slight confused look.
"Ya well, Desmond is too long to say so I shortened it to Dez." Nep said while sitting next to him.
IF quickly buts in "She'll keep calling you that so don't even waste time trying to change her mind." Dez nodded.
"I've had other people call me that, so it's not uncommon. I just didn't expect a nickname so quickly." He replied.
Compa walks over smiling "You need to stay in bed till your completely healed okay Dez. I'll bring you some food later."
"Ok, probably should listen to the nurse. Well it's nice meeting all of you and I hope I can see you again soon." Dez said while standing up and started walking over to the door of the guest room.
Everyone else was saying Bye, nice to meet you, etc.
When Desmond got back into the room he moved over to the bed and got into it. 'Ugh, still sore, man today has been crazy. It'll be nice to get some rest, at least they all seem nice enough.' And with that he drifted off to sleep.
