Third P.O.V.

June 13, 20XX

Location: Lowee's Basilicom

Time: Morning

Today it was now apparently the time (Y/N) should prepare to leave for Leanbox according to some messages that he received from Histoire. The longer he waits, the more Shares that are taken by the Virus Empire meaning that he can't be wasting anymore time enjoying some relaxation in Lowee. Right now, he was at the front door of the Basilicom talking to Histoire on his communicator with Blanc, Rom, Ram, and C-Sha listening in.

Histoire (Communicator): It appears that with your assistance in taking down the Virus Empire in Planeptune, Lastation, and Lowee, Gamindustri is starting to have more Shares again. Thank you again for helping out, (Y/N).

(Y/N): I'm happy to be of assistance, Histoire. Now you told me that where I'm heading next is Leanbox, correct?

Histoire (Communicator): Yes, I have let the CPU there who to let you know that her name is Vert, know that you are currently on your way to help regain her Shares and stop the Virus Empire from draining them. Once that's finished, you are free to come back to the Planeptune Basilicom.

(Y/N): *nods* Understood. I'll be on my way there now.

Histoire (Communicator): Best of luck to you, (Y/N). We're counting on you.

Histoire ends her call with (Y/N) before the guy himself turns his attention to the four girls he was about to say goodbye to.

C-Sha: So you're leaving now, huh?

(Y/N): Yeah, I wish I could stay longer, but with this task that I have now, I can't turn down this choice to help one of your friends out with their nation.

Ram: Do you really have to go now? It's way better here in the Basilicom with you around, (Y/N). You were the perfect target for when I needed to throw something.

(Y/N) sweatdrops from that as that's not really something he should be proud of from Ram.

Rom: I really do like playing with you, (Y/N). You'll be back. . . won't you?

(Y/N) smiles as he kneels down to Rom and Ram.

(Y/N): Don't worry you two. This is only a temporary goodbye. I'll definitely be back to see you two. I enjoyed my time here playing with you little rascals as well.

(Y/N) says that as he pats each of the twins' heads which made both of them smile and giggle.

(Y/N): But like I did with your big sister, I have to go to another nation and take down those bastards who want to take over our world. I want you two to cheer me on while I'm fighting in Leanbox, got it?

Rom nods and smiles.

Rom: Uh-huh. . .

Ram: You bet we will, you big dummy.

Rom: *gasps* Wait. . . there's something that we still needed to give you before you leave. . .

(Y/N): Oh, really? What is it?

Rom ran back inside along with Ram and after just a minute, they come back out and both of them had some pieces of paper that they obviously doodled on and Ram's was a picture of (Y/N) fighting some Virus Brutes all high and mighty while Rom's was a picture of (Y/N) holding hands with her. (Y/N) was astonished that these two made these pictures for him as he smiled.

(Y/N): Aw, you two. Come here.

(Y/N) get's down to his knees and opens his arms up for both Rom and Ram to come running to him and they both shared a big hug with him before breaking it after a few seconds. (Y/N) then puts both of the pictures in his inventory for safe keeping. After that, Blanc walked up with a smile on her face.

Blanc: Guess it's my turn to thank you.

Blanc looked down to the ground a little bit embarrassed before she pulled what looked to be a book of some sorts with an object on it. (Y/N) takes the book and looks at the book cover to see that it was apparently a girl and a boy holding hands while walking in a snowy city. The boy looked to be like (Y/N) while the girl looked to be like Blanc.

Blanc: Thanks to your help with babysitting Rom and Ram, I was able to get a lot of writing done and I figured that you could read this one that I made that's still a work in progress, but close to being done.

(Y/N) smiles at Blanc's kindness before he notices this weird object hanging out of the book.

(Y/N): Hey, Blanc. What's this?

Blanc blushed a bit with a small smile.

Blanc: You. . . might want to see for yourself. I bought it yesterday.

(Y/N) takes what he sees out of one of the books pages before he notices that it's some sort of charm and moment he sees the description of it, he was astonished.

(Y/N): Blanc, this is. . . a charm for someone to have a successful relationship??

Blanc: *giggles* Oops. It appears I got the wrong one. I can exchange it for another one if you want.

(Y/N): N-No! It's okay. . . I want this one because you clearly went out of your way to get for me.

Blanc: Good. My feelings went into the purchase after all.

(Y/N): Th-Thanks. I'll be sure to treasure it.

C-Sha just smirks at Blanc as she can clearly tell that she did that on purpose for another reason. Blanc notices her smirk and motions on her mouth with a glare to zip it before C-Sha playfully smiles and addresses (Y/N).

C-Sha: It was nice getting to know ya, (N/N). Go and kick some ass out there for us.

(Y/N): Count on it.

C-Sha: Come to think of it though, don't go doing anything hasty either.

(Y/N) gives a slight peeved look from that before it turns into a playful smirk and he turns around to leave the entrance of the Basilicom while waving out to his friends. When he arrived on a carriage, so that he could be taken out of Lowee, he looks at both the book and the charm with a smile before putting both in his inventory as some gifts that he can keep from them.

(Y/N): (I wonder just how Leanbox's CPU is going to see me?)

(Insert Opening Here)

Location: Leanbox

Time: Noon

Knowing that he had to go across a large body of water in order to get to Leanbox, (Y/N) paid for some transports over to the continent that's off of the mainland. It didn't really take to long since Leanbox isn't that far off of the mainland. Once he got off the ship, (Y/N) decided to take the rest of the trip on his hoverboard to explore Leanbox. When he arrives at the city, he was awed to see such a large nation in his eyes. Leanbox was a rather modern-futuristic kind of nation while still retaining its greenery and there are also a few mountains present.

(Y/N) rides around the roads of Leanbox and he was already prepared this time wearing some more Leanbox type clothing. It was kind of formal, but he didn't really complain as that was what the nation has.

(Y/N): Man, I know that when I'm living in Planeptune things look futuristic, but this takes a couple of things to the next level. This nation is so advanced compared to Lastation or Lowee.

As (Y/N) was sightseeing, he notices two large towers in the far distance as he narrows his eyes to get a closer look as one seemed to be a large golden tower that right near Leanbox, while the other one was much farther away and it appeared to be a black one lined in red. (Y/N) could probably make out of what that far tower exactly is.

(Y/N): Alright then, I won't have any problem tracking down Leanbox's Virus Empire. Not that I think about it though. . .

(Y/N) looks all around the city and notices something.

(Y/N): Unlike the other nations, I don't really see any soldiers, drones, or brutes lurking around the city trying to bombard some of the city. While that does seem awfully weird, I guess I won't complain as I have less problems to deal with here. Still, it shouldn't give me the idea to let my guard down. Taking down three nations was hard enough and I'm sure taking this one down with be just as hard, maybe even harder.

He then turns his glare back towards the city.

(Y/N): No use thinking about that now though, I better ask for some directions to where the Basilicom is rather than just hover around the place looking some damn tourist wearing Leanbox clothes.

As he said that, he then notices somebody in the distance looking around the city and the person looked kind of familiar to (Y/N). He rides his hoverboard towards the person and once he takes a closer look, he was shocked by who was here. . .

It was Nepgear who looked to be walking around Leanbox while sightseeing a bit as well and (Y/N) rides over to her.

(Y/N): Nepgear!

Hearing her name being called, Nepgear turned to see (Y/N) coming over her and she gives a small wave as the boy stops right in front of her before he hops off of his board and it turns back to a purple square as (Y/N) puts it in his inventory.

Nepgear: Hello, (Y/N). I forgot that you were actually on your way here.

(Y/N): Yeah I'm here and I hate to be rude, but. . . why exactly are you here? I thought that you would still be back in Planeptune with Nep and Histoire.

Nepgear: *sighs* Neptune really thinks that it's time to relax even when there are some soldiers still wanting to try and liberate Planeptune. We've been telling her that it's too soon to relax, but. . . you know. . .

(Y/N): Not giving a damn about what you tell her?

Nepgear nods from that.

(Y/N): I see. So is that why you came to Leanbox?

Nepgear: Not just to get out of the Basilicom, but I also just wanted to visit Vert too since it really has been a while since I've been able to talk to her due to this whole war going on.

(Y/N): Speaking of which, you mind showing me where the Basilicom is then? I need to meet with Lady Vert myself too.

Nepgear: Mm-hmm. Follow me.

(Y/N) and Nepgear walk with each other so that they can go and meet Vert in order to introduce (Y/N) to her. As they were walking for about a few minutes later, Nepgear had been eyeing her N-Gear as they were walking which (Y/N) couldn't help, but feel curious about.

(Y/N): Hey, Nepgear. You don't have to answer me if it's none of my business, but what have you been doing on your little mobile device as we've been walking.

Nepgear: Oh, nothing really at all. Uni, Rom, and Ram always like to contact me on here and I think they were just concerned to know if you were able to make here in Leanbox. Don't worry, I told them that they had nothing to worry about as I'm with you. . . I don't about Uni, but she sounded kind of jealous for some reason while both Rom and Ram has been telling me a little bit of how you've been playing with them.

(Y/N): I don't really like their pranks, but their really good kids to hang around. I almost got beat up by Blanc because of them guilt tripping me. However, now that I've actually gotten to know them, I can safely tell when they're being serious or not.

Nepgear: *nervous laugh* Yeah. . . Rom usually loves to be around me. . . Ram does a little envious when she sees her hanging with me, but we're still good friends.

Nepgear then taps a little bit more on her N-Gear before (Y/N) hears a beep on his watch and sees that his tracker has been turned off.

Nepgear: I-I'm sorry. I forgot that I still had that on. I mostly was just using it in case we lost you or anything.

(Y/N): Why do you carry around a tracking device app anyway? Did Histoire tell you to keep that on while I'm around too?

Nepgear: Oh, no, I always have this. I mean, mobile energy generators and signal tracers are must haves for all girls, don't you think?

(Y/N): *sweatdrops* Well, I'm a guy so I don't know if I'd know that and also. . . I think that's mostly for tech-savvy girls like you, Gear.

Nepgear nervously giggles from that and their conversation took a turn as they both suddenly heard something not far away from them as they both looked at each other before walking towards the commotion that was happening. Once they turned a corner, both Nepgear and (Y/N) see something rather bizarre. . .

Apparently, there is a woman sitting her rear end on top of what looked to be a Dogoo, but not just any kind of Dogoo, it was a bipedal Dogoo with such bulky muscles and there was even another one right beside the woman who looked to be posing in a bikini out on the streets.

Nepgear sweatdrops with a nervous smile at the scene while (Y/N) just had a face that said that he was both creeped out and disgusted at the same time. The bipedal Dogoo with a male body was doing some push-ups with the woman still sitting on his back with a neutral expression.

Dogoo Man: Yes~! Oh~ That's the spirit~! I feel my exquisite muscles and pectorals getting stronger more and more~!

S-Sha: How many times have I told you to just keep your mouth closed? I have no interest in how strong or weak that you're getting. I'm only out here because I've got nothing better to do.

Dogoo Lady: Not even any concern about that large tower that planted near yours?

S-Sha: I can still my power flowing from the Golden Summit, so it shouldn't be a concern of mine.

In the distance, (Y/N) and Nepgear were just watching as (Y/N) slowly backs up to hide in the corner and he pulls Nepgear along with him.

(Y/N): Nepgear. . . I apologize if I sound rude for saying this but. . . WHAT IN THE FRICKIN' HELL ARE THOSE THINGS?!?!

Nepgear: I-It's okay, (Y/N). I-I know them. All of them actually.

(Y/N): I want an explanation though!! How do those. . . Dogoo things even exist?! Why do they exist?! J-Just looking at them is giving me the creeps!

Nepgear: Um. . . Do you remember anything about the Gamindustri Rewrite?

(Y/N): Rewrite?? What are you talking about?

Nepgear: Well, to put in a short story, the woman you see right there with them, is Leanbox's Gold Third, S-Sha. I think they came to life once she arrived, but I don't know exactly how they formed themselves. . . maybe it was genetics?

(Y/N): Okay. . . Still, that's probably in my Top 5 list of Weirdest things that I've ever seen in my life.

Nepgear: Don't worry, (Y/N). They won't hurt you. . . but they do have a lot of pride, so just a little warning. Also. . . the Basilicom is just right ahead of them, so I don't think you have a choice, but to meet them.

(Y/N) let's out an annoyed sigh from that.

(Y/N): Fine. . . Let's just get it over with. . .

Both Nepgear and (Y/N) walk up and approach the three figures as S-Sha is the first to notice Nepgear as she turns to her.

Nepgear: Hello, S-Sha.

S-Sha: What brings you to Leanbox, Nepgear?

Nepgear: Nothing really. I mostly just came to visit, but I was also wanting to see how Vert was holding up since the Virus Empire is still here in Leanbox.

S-Sha: They're not really a concern for me since this one hasn't been making any attacks in the city.

Nepgear: Oh. . .

S-Sha then notices (Y/N) beside Nepgear and raises an eyebrow at him while looking at him from head to toe. (Y/N) feels a little nervous while Nepgear sees that S-Sha was looking at (Y/N).

Nepgear: Oh, right. S-Sha, this is my friend (Y/N), he helped battle the Virus Empire back in Planeptune and he's even helped take down the ones in the other nations. So we brought him here to-

S-Sha: I'm not interested.

https://youtu.be/U23XlkhUvhE

The moment S-Sha said that, (Y/N) felt very offended.

(Y/N): Say what now?? Did you even let her finish? I came here to-

S-Sha: Like I said. . . Not interested.

(Y/N) turns to Nepgear not really liking S-Sha's cold attitude towards him as the CPU Candidate just gives a nervous smile while sweatdropping.

Nepgear: S-Sorry about (Y/N). S-Sha is always like that.

(Y/N): So what? You're usually not really talkative to someone unless they show you something that's by your definition, "interesting?"

S-Sha: That's one theory of putting it, but yes. All I am doing right now is being with my two servants.

(Y/N): Servants?!

S-Sha: As you can see, this is a Dogoo Man and this is a Dogoo Lady. They are both my loyal subordinates.

(Y/N): No offense to your subordinates and all, but seriously. . . A human type Dogoo in both a male and female figure and to top it all off. . . both nearly naked. . . that's the last thing I really want to see right about now.

S-Sha get's off of Dogoo Man as him and the Dogoo Lady turn to (Y/N).

Dogoo Man: Young one, please. You have yet to witness just how real these pectorals and lovely muscles are.

Dogoo Lady: It's not everyday that we are to come across such an interesting young man~ Did we hear correctly that you are fighting the Virus Empire~?

Dogoo Lady says as she uses two fingers to crawl up (Y/N) which makes him really uncomfortable.

(Y/N): Y-Y-Y-Yess!

Dogoo Man then get's right behind (Y/N) and places both of his hands on his shoulders making him even more uncomfortable as (Y/N) could feel his bare, but slimy chest on his back.

Dogoo Man: Makes me wonder what's your hiding under those clothes of yours. Perhaps you've got some rather alluring pectorals yourself. Not as much as mine though.

He then takes (Y/N) and puts him in a headlock making him let out some muffled screams while Dogoo Lady feels his abdomen underneath his shirt making (Y/N) flush red. He looks at Nepgear and S-Sha and his face clearly tells them that he's wants out of this now. Nepgear had no idea how to respond to any of this, but she said something anyway.

Nepgear: Um, excuse me. . . but I think (Y/N) wants his personal space back.

Dogoo Lady: (Y/N)? What an adorable name for such a young and strong looking boy~

S-Sha: Alright, you two. That's enough.

Both of the human Dogoos let (Y/N) go as he just falls down on his back in clear shock of what he just witnessed. He then turns his head to Nepgear not really amused.

(Y/N): (Nepgear. . . You and I are going to have a talk about this later one day as I think I'll have nightmares about this for months. . . Mark my words, I will NOT forget this!)

S-Sha: If you're fighting the Virus Empire, you might as well go and see Vert. However, I'm sure with your intellect that you already know that she's the CPU of Leanbox.

(Y/N): Yeah, that's the whole reason I'm here. To help take down that tower over there. . . Wait, as Gold Third, should you investigating that tower?? Especially since it's right near your Golden Summit!

S-Sha: I'm not interested in whatever the Virus Empire is doing. Besides, it's not draining any of my power so I don't really care.

(Y/N): Well it's probably taking Vert's power!

S-Sha: She can take of things like that on her own. She never really asked me to deal with them to begin with.

Nepgear: What? Why??

S-Sha: I didn't really see a need to look into it any further. Besides, Vert's choices of what she wants of Leanbox is none of my concern. I won't hesitate to save someone who's helpless, but if Vert doesn't ask then I won't argue.

Nepgear: Um. . . Did you check to see what Vert was doing?

S-Sha: No. Why?

Nepgear: I think might have a hunch on why she was probably so unfocused on you. I won't surprised if I'm correct either.

(Y/N): What are you talking about, Gear?

Nepgear: Follow me to the Basilicom. I'll show you.

S-Sha and (Y/N) didn't really know what Nepgear was talking about, but decided to follow her anyway to see what exactly Vert is doing inside of her Basilicom.

Location: Leanbox's Basilicom

Nepgear, (Y/N), and S-Sha finally arrived at the Basilicom as planned earlier as what was now in front of them was a large fancy looking mansion type place. (Y/N) was astonished by what he was looking at as this is his first time even seeing a Basilicom like this.

(Y/N): So this is where Lady Vert resides? The place looks as if she's probably filthy rich.

Nepgear: Well. . . that's one way of saying it, but trust me (Y/N). . . once we're inside, you'll be seeing an entirely different side of Vert that even made me baffled too.

(Y/N): What? Is she strict or something?

Nepgear: N-No, she's. . . you'll just have to follow me inside.

Nepgear walks up to the entrance of the Basilicom with (Y/N) and S-Sha as once they reached the entrance something was indeed very fishy as it looks as if someone left the door open for some reason which made (Y/N) confused.

(Y/N): Huh?? The door's cracked. You don't think something may have happened to Vert, do you?

S-Sha: Actually, leaving the door open like that is pretty normal here. It happens every so often.

(Y/N): Well, doesn't she have any guards or. . . at least somebody who supervises the entire place in case intruders come in? You said that there hasn't been any attacks on Leanbox lately, but even with this small mistake, a thug could just go in and steal something valuable from her.

S-Sha: Walk in and see for yourself. It's nothing really shocking to anybody.

All three of them walk inside of the Basilicom to invites themselves in and see that there really was nothing around in the main lobby which had a foyer. It was kind of quiet for them actually.

Nepgear: Vert! Hello? Are you anywhere around here?

???: I don't recall anybody being invited here to- Oh, it's just you two.

Everybody turns to see a woman with long green hair with a black and green ribbon in it to turn it into a ponytail. She was wearing a black mini dress with black bows on the sides and long frills with a green color under them. She was also wearing thigh high black socks and black heels with purple bows on them.

Nepgear: Oh, Chika. I actually should've known you'd be here.

Chika: Never mind me. What are YOU exactly doing here? Come to see my darling Vert I presume? So she can brag more about how she has a better relationship with you than me?

(Y/N): (D-Darling???)

Nepgear: I-It's not like that. You see we're actually here because of the Virus Empire. You know about that one tower that's near the Golden Summit, right?

Chika: Oh, so you're here about that. Well there's good news and bad news about that.

S-Sha: Give it to us.

Chika: The good news is that while the others nations had problems with soldiers running rampant around their nation terrorizing the cities. This one has been the only exception for some reason. Not that I'm complaining, but it felt kind of odd. Perhaps they see just how lovely Leanbox is compared to the others.

She says that with a smile as Nepgear sweatdrops.

Nepgear: Um, I doubt that would be the case. . .

Chika: Bad news, my darling Vert's Shares having been dropping rather slowly and from what I heard from Histoire, that tower seems to be the cause of it. However, her power isn't really how I would say, "weakened" at the moment. The people do still seem to give their faith to her.

Nepgear: So it'll be just just how you did in the other nations again, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Right. Raid the base, find the reactor core, kick the general's ass, we win.

Chika looks at (Y/N) and once she lays eye contact with him, she immediately scowls at him.

Chika: Who are you? I don't recall any unwelcomed guests here! Walk back the way you came now!

(Y/N): Wait, what? Didn't Vert tell you that was on my way here. . . or even Histoire?

Chika: They mentioned something about some kind of soldier coming! Not some random male!

Chika then pulls out a spear and points at (Y/N) who backs up a bit.

Chika: Last warning! Otherwise, as the Oracle of Leanbox I'll have to take more drastic measures! For my darling sister, Vert!

(Y/N): Sister? W-Wait, wait, wait, so you're the Oracle AND CPU Candidate of Leanbox?? I-I'm so confused. . . I thought there was no CPU Candidate in Leanbox.

S-Sha: No, she's just the Oracle. She's a constant simp for Vert which does get annoying after awhile.

Chika: Shut your mouth, S-Sha!

(Y/N): Oh, so she just calls herself Vert's sister. I see. . .

That gained a tick mark on Chika as she turns back to (Y/N) and yells ready to stab him in order to kick him out of the Basilicom. (Y/N) sees that he suddenly poked the bear and freaks out a bit and so does Nepgear.

Nepgear: Wait! Chika! You're making a mistake! This guy is the same soldier that you just described!

Chika didn't listen to Nepgear and before she could strike (Y/N). . . He quickly summons his sword and blocks Chika's attack as they tested one another strength. Chika suddenly becomes shocked that (Y/N) had that sword to defend himself as he pushes back on Chika to send her flying away from him towards a wall.

(Y/N): You mentioned a soldier right? Like a traveling one? Well, newsflash lady. . . I'M the said solider. Not some random pervert to see the CPU. Even though I have a friend who is actually someone dumb enough to do that.

Chika looks at Nepgear and raises an eyebrow at her to confirm if this is true and she just nods.

Nepgear: It's true. He helped out in all of the other nations including Planeptune. He's also my friend too, so please don't hurt him.

(Y/N): Don't worry Nepgear, I didn't plan on hurting her either since she's the Oracle.

Chika get's up and puts away her spear and walks up to (Y/N) with a rather serious look on her face.

Chika: My apologies for being so hasty. My name is Chika Hakozaki. Just know that you dare lay a finger on my darling Vert then I will not hesitate to make you lose your whole arm.

(Y/N): . . .Well geez. Okay. . . I'll keep that in mind Ms. Simpy Stabbers.

Chika raised an eyebrow from the name.

Chika: Simpy Stabbers?

(Y/N): You admire Vert so much that you think of yourself like her maid. . . or her knight in shining armor or whatever. You somewhat remind me of my friend, Kazuki who likes to do the same thing with girls. . . except you're like a full Vert fanatic without even trying to hide it.

Chika: Don't compare me to disgusting perverted men, you scoundrel. I'll do anything to make sure that my darling Vert is happy as her lovely sister.

S-Sha: Enough. I'm not interested in your relationship with Vert. Where is she?

Nepgear: Is she okay?

Chika: She's having the time of her life. . . as usual.

(Y/N): As usual. . .?

Chika: You want to know what my darling Vert has been doing with her time during this war with the Virus Empire? I'll show you.

Chika gestures all three of them to follow her in which they do and as they were walking down a rather long corridor, (Y/N) sees that there were some doors cracked and he even took a peek inside. Some of what he saw were things such as anime figurines, game discs, and he even picked up a manga. When he took a closer look inside of it, he immediately blushed at what he was looking at before he throws the comic book down and keeps following the crew. As he did, the comic that he dropped said that it was forbidden for if you're not an adult. Eventually, they reached one particular room and not only that, but they could hear Vert's voice inside of it too.

Vert: *muffled* What?! No! It's not that it was too large for me to handle, but rather you should choose a different position rather than making me keep mine if we want to take another shot at it!

(Y/N) get's a weird look and looks at Nepgear who had the same face.

(Y/N) & Nepgear: (Please tell me that was just an innuendo. . .)

Vert: *muffled* Fine, but this the last round that you do this, understood?

(Y/N): Uh. . . what is she doing?

Chika: Get your mind out of the gutter, brat! Of course she wouldn't do something so scandalous!

Nepgear: That's a relief. . .

Chika: Just walk inside. . .

Everybody walks inside of Vert's room and what they see next made (Y/N) shocked, Nepgear sweatdrops, S-Sha was indifferent, and Chika just shakes her head. . .

Vert was apparently in a gaming chair with a couple of monitors in front of her while she was staring at the screen with a fierce look clearly playing a game with a fierce look on her face.

https://youtu.be/S2_W5rIbKLE

Vert: Alright fine! But this is the last time. Others want different roles in this as well. Event though I play best in your position doesn't mean that we can't let others try it as well.

Vert says that as she takes a sip of tea from a nearby teacup near her mouse pad. The others were just staring with blank faces while (Y/N) was just shocked.

(Y/N): I. . . did not take the CPU of Leanbox to be this much of both a gamer and an otaku. . .

Nepgear: I figured as much this is what we would run into. . . She really does this on a daily basis.

(Y/N) looked at Nepgear surprised.

(Y/N): Seriously? I play games a lot and can get a little competitive, but I'm never THAT hardcore.

Chika: Hardcore in my world would be an understatement for her. . . Sometimes she even pulls all-nighters just to finish as much raids as she can until she get's an ultra rare item.

S-Sha: Typical. . .

Vert didn't hear them talking as she still had her headphones on and was mashing buttons on her controller while having a fierce glare at her computer screen.

Vert: I'll cover you on the left in this castle siege, okay? What? No! Not there! I was referring to your left, not mine! No, no, no!

(Y/N): I literally have no idea what I just walked into. . . (Then again, Neptune and Blanc have their own personal hobbies that I didn't know about, I wonder what Noire does for a hobby.)

S-Sha: I'm not interested in this. . . I don't even get why I'm here to begin with. . .

Nepgear: Well, someone has to let Vert know that she can't keep this up for too long. Chika, why don't you say anything?

Chika: And suddenly interrupt her while she's in a glorious gaming session? I think not.

(Y/N) looks up at Chika and rolls his eyes before he walks into Vert's room which Chika did not approve of.

Chika: Hey! What do you think you're doing entering dear Vert's room without her consent?! This is also a girls room for your information!

(Y/N) just ignores Chika and walks up to Vert before tapping her on the shoulder. That gets Vert's attention as she looks to her left and notices (Y/N) with a surprised look before she then sees the rest of the group peeking inside of the door.

Vert: Oh, my. . .

Vert lowers the volume down on her headphones before turning to the group with a nervous smile.

Vert: Excuse me. . . I wasn't expecting any company today. . .

(Y/N): Yeah. . . Uh, we figured that out. Don't you have some kind of informant or something that lets you know that your on a schedule for something?

Vert: *giggles nervously* Funny story. . . I was originally planning on having some of the guards that patrol the city lead the wandering soldier here, I guess I sort of got caught up in the moment with a ton of castle sieges on 4 Goddesses Online.

Vert then realizes the predicament that she is in right now as she takes off her headphones and turns off her PC before standing up to address herself.

Vert: I am so sorry. Where are my manners? I welcome you to Leanbox. What is your name, young man?

(Y/N): My name is (Y/N) (L/N). Neptune and some of my other friends like to call me (N/N). I'm the wandering soldier Histoire must've told you about that's helping the CPUs fight off the Virus Empire.

Vert nods and smiles.

Vert: She has indeed. It is rather incredible that you yourself have been able to take on the extreme dangers of fighting such cruel people threatening our premises. You've taken down three nations' Virus Empire and here you are standing in my room offering to help me as well. You are a wonderfully talented young man.

(Y/N) blushes a little bit from that as he rubs the back of his head.

(Y/N): Thanks. . . but I don't really get your definition of "help" quite yet.

Nepgear: I kind of agree with you there, (Y/N). Are we here to help or just observe her playing MMOs?

Vert heard that voice and she looks over to the door as she spotted Nepgear which made her surprised.

Vert: Nepgear?! I didn't hear anything about you coming over here! Did Histoire send you here abruptly?!

Nepgear: Oh no. I actually just came to visit Leanbox since it has been months since I've been here. I did show (Y/N) around for a bit and since I was here too I thought that I would come and say hi. Still, I feel like it would be rude if I just left without offering you any assistance, so I guess I'm here to help you fight the Virus Empire too.

Hearing that made Vert's eyes widen before a tear nearly escapes her eye which (Y/N) notices with a rather confused look.

(Y/N): Um, Lady Vert? What's the matter?

Vert: N-Nothing. I just cannot believe that my own younger sister that I don't even get to see so often has taken her own time to come and visit me!

(Y/N) & Chika: S-Sister?!?!

Vert: Oh, Nepgear. Come here and give your big sister a hug!

Before Nepgear even knew it, she was scooped up by Vert who hugs her rather tightly and Nepgear face was even planted into Vert's rather large chest.

Nepgear: V-V-Vert!! Please don't squish me like that! And so suddenly! It's embarrassing in front of all of my friends here!

(Y/N) just jaw drops by what he was seeing as a sweatdrop even appeared right beside his head.

(Y/N): (I think that I practically have just seen everything about Vert so far. . .! I obviously know for a fact that Nepgear is no where close to being Vert's sister. . . they don't even look alike. What is it with these people wanting to be a sister to Vert?) Um, Lady Vert? I hate to interrupt your reunion with your. . . self-proclaimed sister, but you need to tell what's going on with the Virus Empire. . .?

Vert hears that and let's go of Nepgear who catches her breath from being hugged so tightly.

Vert: Oh, that's correct. I was so happy to greet all of you that it completely slipped my mind. We'll all sit down and I'll discuss my problem. Chika, would you mind serving up some tea for us as well?

Chika: T-Tea?? Are you sure that there's nothing "bigger" for me to do. . . specifically for you?

Vert: *sternly* Chika. . .

Chika: *sighs* I'll get right to it.

Vert: (Y/N), is there a specific kind of tea that you would like?

(Y/N): No thanks. I won't be picky. Just let Simpy Stabbers here give me what you recommend to be most relaxing.

Chika: Hey! Drop it, scum!

Vert: *snickers* Um, I'm sorry, but. . . what was that name?

Nepgear: Long story short, Chika tried to pierce (Y/N) while he was coming inside with us and. . . you probably know the rest.

Vert: I-I see. . .

Vert was trying her best to hold back a laugh.

Vert: I-In that case. . . *snerk* I'll explain what my nation's Virus Empire has been doing. . . *snerk*

Chika both blushes and glares at (Y/N) for embarrassing her like this in front of Vert.

Chika: (I swear, the moment that boy screws something up with Vert. . . I won't hold back to smite him.)

Everybody was now inside of a dining room sitting down at a long table with some teacups for everybody. However, it seems S-Sha could care less about sitting down as she was just leaning near the door like a brooding loner with a teacup in her hand. Vert was currently discussing the matter of Virus Empire being in Leanbox.

Vert: So while I know that these soldiers who want to overthrow the goddesses have been very tedious to deal with in the other nations. I did find it rather strange that no attacks have been made in Leanbox. (Y/N), you stated that you faced three generals of the Virus Empire so far and they guard these. . . reactor cores?

(Y/N): That's right. They names were Hijack, Canker, and Bane. All of them were pretty skilled fighters and they each had necessary weapons and abilities that are built for fighting the other goddesses, even when I see them transform.

Nepgear: (Y/N) helped Neptune and I take down Hijack who was trying to liberate Planeptune and he was no joke at all. It barely took all three of us to even take him down and escape with everybody safe and sound.

Vert: I see. . . I know many others would suggest that we shouldn't waste time and go deal with them as we speak, but even though my Shares are being corrupted, they are not going down at a drastic pace where I can't even feel my power from the people coming to me.

(Y/N): That is strange. . .

Nepgear: You think that the reactor core that this general is using weak?

(Y/N): That's a possibility. . . but there has to be some other reason. . . One that we're missing. . .

Vert then looks over to S-Sha who wasn't even paying attention.

Vert: S-Sha, are you even listening?

S-Sha: I'm not interested in the Virus Empire's methods to take Shares.

Vert: *sighs* For course you aren't.

S-Sha: Besides, even if your Shares do go down, you'll still have Share Crystals to activate your power all around Gamindustri.

Nepgear: I wouldn't really count on it considering that they are somewhat rare.

Vert: Hold on! Actually that might've just gave me an idea. . . (Y/N), how exactly were those reactors being powered in the other nations?

(Y/N): Um. . . From what I know, the Virus soldiers themselves just believing that they exist works well. . . and they'll get a boost too from the people that believe in them from what I saw in Lastation. What does that have to do with Share Crystals though?

Vert: This may just be a hunch. . . but perhaps there is another way and perhaps while it may seem slow at first. . . it will start to rise exponentially. . . There is another type of crystal capable of making us CPUs not even be able to even fight for our people.

Nepgear: You mean Anti-Crystals?

Vert: That's right. While there is one method to take Share energy through loss of hope, it is another method to take it using an Anti-Crystal. . .

Nepgear: So what you're saying is. . . The Virus Empire could be collecting Anti-Crystals. . .

Vert: And use the energy from those to produce a slower, but even stronger method of taking down a CPU.

(Y/N): How strong are those things?

Vert: If a goddess like myself and Nepgear get caught in one, we'll be completely immobilized and not even enough energy to fight, let alone even operate.

(Y/N): *shudders* That means we need to be even more cautious in case the general of this Virus Empire has one. It'll get even worse as while I have Share energy, it's in my blood which also is the source of my power to help you goddesses.

Both Nepgear and Vert gave serious nods to that.

Vert: Indeed.

Nepgear: Right.

However, that serious atmosphere went away as Vert stands up with a calm smile on her face.

Vert: Well, I suppose it is time that I get back to 4 Goddesses Online.

Nepgear was shocked by this as she looks at Vert with a weird look.

Nepgear: What?! Even after we discussed how serious this situation is, you're still going to back to play games??

Vert: What is wrong with that?

(Y/N): Um, Vert? Oh, uh, I can call you Vert, right?

Vert: Formalities are not necessary for somebody like you. Proceed with your question.

(Y/N): Yeah, it's just that. . . you seem way too obsessed with playing games rather than anything else. . .

Vert: Having a healthy interest in games is only natural for a CPU, no?

Nepgear: Vert. . . I wouldn't really call it a "healthy" interest for you. . .

Vert: It's okay, Nepgear. Besides, you can cheer on your big sister in a little costume I have saved just for the ocassion.

Nepgear's eyes widened from that as she now is looking kind of uncomfortable.

Nepgear: I-I'll pass. . . P-Please!

(Y/N): (Vert knows about the situation sure, but. . . she isn't in the mood to concentrate on anything but her gaming sessions. . .)

(Y/N) then puts a finger to his chin thinking of something.

(Y/N): (Actually, that kind of gives me an idea. . . If we're going to both going to raid the base and take down the general. . . some proper training may be necessary. . .)

He then smiles as he looks towards Vert.

(Y/N): (If Vert has a lot of games. . . then I might just have an idea. . .) Vert, I think I have a better idea. . . In fact, why don't we all play a little game?

Vert: Oh? You have my attention. What is this game that you speak of?

(Y/N): Leanbox is known for having devices that you use your body with, right?

Vert: Yes, I even obtain a very valuable amount of consoles for that purpose too.

(Y/N): Why don't we play a game in a way where we can all have a little mini tournament of us fighting. . . you know to test and train our abilities against each other.

Vert: Hmm. I have had the other CPUs here over for something similar to that, but if what you're describing is a game where all of us fight each other in some sort of battle royale, then I'm definitely intrigued. In fact, I have the perfect gadget to make this sort of thing work. . . Nepgear, would you like to participate as well? You could even be on a team with me if you wish.

Nepgear: *nods* Sure. I don't mind. It'll also tell me if I need more practice myself as a CPU.

Vert: S-Sha?

S-Sha: I'm not interested in just training my skills. Further more, I'm not even interested in (Y/N) to begin with.

(Y/N) looks at S-Sha rather annoyed.

(Y/N): Okay, now that's just hurtful.

Nepgear: Please, S-Sha?

S-Sha: If you want to use me for something. . . then just use me for standing right here and being quiet.

Nepgear moans in disappointment from that and Vert narrows her eyes at S-Sha before she smirks, getting an idea as she turns to her friends.

Vert: Don't worry, you two. I can handle this perfectly.

She clears her throat as she turns back to S-Sha.

Vert: E-Sha, would you like to play a game with us?

Suddenly, S-Sha's eyes turned green for a second and her demeanor suddenly turned into a more angsty manner which confused (Y/N) greatly. While it was still S-Sha's body, a completely different voice rang out.

E-Sha: Yes.

Her eyes then quickly turn back to red and S-Sha sighs wearily with an annoyed expression.

S-Sha: Ugh! Fine! If E-Sha wants in. . . then I suppose that I wouldn't mind playing your little game.

Vert: *giggles* I knew you'd cooperate with us.

S-Sha: Don't push it.

(Y/N) walks up to Nepgear really confused on what he just saw.

(Y/N): Uh, Nepgear. . . What exactly was that I saw?? S-Sha's eyes changed color for a second and her strong self. . . vanished. . .

Nepgear: Oh, um, it's kind of hard to explain, but E-Sha and S-Sha share the same bodies. . . You won't really hear E-Sha too much since she's not really a people person, but she'll sometimes answer with yes or no.

(Y/N): A little freaky, but okay. . .

In another part of the Basilicom where the four are now gathered with each other, Vert pulls out a device that looks to be what she had described earlier and places it down onto the floor before pressing a button on it which turns the entire room into an entirely different landscape that looked a lot like a forest.

(Y/N): Whoa, Vert! The whole Basilicom is. . . gone! What just happened?

Vert: This is a special kind of device that I use at times. It's a unique type of camera that not only can change where we are currently standing, but it can also capture your expressions and movements and holo-project them. You can also use it for battle simulations with monsters in different shapes and sizes, and you can even use it to search the net.

(Y/N): And no matter what we touch or where we go, the room will just stay intact?

Vert: Correct. In this case, we'll be doing the little game that you want us to play with each other fighting each other all at once. We can use any part of the environment to our advantage too.

(Y/N): Nice! This is perfect then! A battle royale where no one is friend or enemy!

Vert then gives a fierce looking smile.

Vert: I see that this competition as gotten your attention. In any case, I'm ready to see just how well you can hold your own against a CPU.

Vert then summons her spear before turning to the other two.

Vert: Are you all ready?

Nepgear and S-Sha nod from that as they both pull out their respective weapons and get in a fighting stance. (Y/N) does the same as he's looking really competitive as he stares at Vert.

(Y/N): Alright, Vert. Show me what skills you got and hold nothing back. But know that I'm pretty outstanding from what I'm sure you heard from me. Don't expect to just sweep my legs for a victory.

Vert: *chuckles* I shall look forward towards those expectations of yours. But know that I wasn't planning on holding back either. . . even if you are an amateur.

Nepgear: I don't really plan on winning this, but I'll still give it everything I have.

S-Sha: I'm not really interested in winning this, but I suppose showing some of my skills off can benefit me out of this.

Vert: Okay everyone. Let us begin.

Everybody got into a fighting stance as a countdown timer went off going down from ten to zero. All four were looking at each other trying to anticipate who is going after who first and who will get the first hit. Once the countdown timer reach zero. . . Everybody dashed towards one another as (Y/N) was going after Vert, Vert was going after S-Sha, S-Sha was going after Nepgear, and Nepgear was going towards (Y/N).

https://youtu.be/NEmFscJkOGE

Vert quickly notices (Y/N) trying to go for her and she stops her attack on S-Sha to block multiple strikes that (Y/N) made with his sword. (Y/N) tried to take another strike, but Vert parried this one as she swings her spear around like a staff before charging herself at (Y/N) who guards just in time. Now (Y/N) and Vert were at a standoff testing each other's strength to see who was stronger.

(Y/N): Wow! You're a quick thinker, Vert!

Vert: You're not so bad yourself. But a poorly executed flurry of strikes will do nothing against a player who's played thousands of hours on 4 Goddesses Online!

(Y/N): Let me guess. . . photographic reflexes and muscle memory?

Vert: You definitely catch on pretty quick.

(Y/N) smiles at the compliment.

(Y/N): Thanks. Some of these moves are from games that I play myself too.

Seeing that (Y/N) was distracted from their conversation, Vert takes this opportunity to quickly jump over (Y/N) and she whacks him from the back which pushes him away. Vert then charges at (Y/N) again which shocks him as he moves to the side to barely dodge the spear that nearly grazed his cheek. (Y/N) exhales from that close call as Vert smirks at him.

Vert: You're not thinking of quitting our little competition now, are you~?

(Y/N) then felt a presence behind him and while he didn't see it, Nepgear was coming overhead to get a hit off of (Y/N) and he smirks back at Vert.

(Y/N): Nope. . . Just gettin' started for you to take THIS!

(Y/N) rolls off to the side which surprises Nepgear as her target changes to Vert knocking her onto a tree which she slides down on, but she quickly get's back up to continue to fight.

Nepgear: Oops. I'm sorry, Vert.

Vert: There is no need to apologize. Besides, it's everyone for themselves here!

Vert jumps just a distance towards Nepgear as she extends her spear and swings it towards Nepgear who ducks to avoid the attack. Nepgear then runs up to go and use Mirage Dance to try and overwhelm Vert with dance pattern of attacks. At the end, Vert blocks it before getting knocked down to the ground.

Vert then sees Nepgear suddenly getting attack by S-Sha who does a couple of quick slashes with her sword before she does a roundhouse kick and Nepgear goes flying with a yell before she quickly recovers and uses a tree to break her fall. She then does a backflip on the tree before comes down with a kick on S-Sha who blocks it, but wasn't prepared for her to quickly use her sword as small platforming and she jumps off in another direction with S-Sha hot on her tail.

S-Sha: If you plan to win by running away then know that I'm not going to give you any time to reposition yourself.

Nepgear: I know. . . I may be running. . .

Nepgear then quickly shoots herself into the leaves of a tree while S-Sha lands down on the ground trying to find Nepgear.

Nepgear: But I'm running into the top of the tree to make myself harder to hit.

S-Sha: (Not a bad strategy for a CPU Candidate. . .)

As S-Sha searches for Nepgear, Vert comes in on her with a quick swipe that S-Sha wasn't prepared to block. She turns around and she then decides to counter back with her own skill known as EXA Slash. A hologram of cards appear in front of her and she throws one up into the air to call down some lightning in the sky to amp up her sword a bit. She quickly slashes Vert who nearly got paralyzed from the impact that did to her. S-Sha then sees (Y/N) coming at her and she quickly blocks some slashes from him. Not only that, but it seems that her reflexes were better than his as every swing (Y/N) makes, S-Sha is able to block it with her own swing.

S-Sha: Predictable.

(Y/N): Heh, you've haven't seen my whole power yet, S-Sha!

(Y/N) swaps his sword out for his gun and starts shooting golden energy blasts at S-Sha who wasn't prepared for a ranged attack to hit her.

S-Sha: Urgh! You carry a firearm around like K-Sha, I see. . .

(Y/N): Actually, the gun was from Uni, I only just got a couple of shooting tips from them.

S-Sha: (Hmm, this guy might actually be okay in my book.)

S-Sha decides to dash forwards and take (Y/N) on with his own strength. He quickly pulls up his gun to block S-Sha strike, but she also quickly overwhelms him as (Y/N) was on his knees.

S-Sha: You may have caught me off guard with your new accessory, but that'll just exploit you close range.

(Y/N): *grunts* Yeah. . . this gun wasn't made for fighting up close. . .

He then smirks.

(Y/N): But I still got some ideas left in case I get into a situation like this!

(Y/N) then makes his fist glow a golden aura and he takes one arm off of his gun to use Golden Knuckle and punch S-Sha in the stomach which hits her hard and she get's sent flying at a tree so hard that it knocks her down to the ground. S-Sha grunts loudly as she get's up onto her knees and hears a beep over her. She looks up and sees a red X marked over her which meant that she was eliminated. S-Sha looks at (Y/N) who pumps his fist proud of himself that he was able to eliminate S-Sha. She lowers her head with her eyes closed accepting defeat.

(Y/N): Ha, ha! My first elimination!

(Y/N) hears some more fighting going on behind him as Vert was dealing with Nepgear. Nepgear tries using Slash Wave to hit Vert, but she dodges to the side and quickly counter attacks as she spins her spear over her head before spinning multiple times in Nepgear's direction which sends her flying to the ground yelling in slight pain. A red X then appears over Nepgear as she was eliminated now which makes her a little disappointed.

Nepgear: Aw, I guess I'm in third place.

Vert: Not to worry, Nepgear. At least your not in last place.

S-Sha felt kind of offended by that as she glares at Vert.

Vert: Oh, um. . . Not that it's entirely a bad thing to be last. . .

S-Sha sighs and rolls her eyes as she sits down to keep watching the fight.

Nepgear: I guess I'm a little bit rusty after taking a break from defending Planeptune. . . I really hope that Neptune isn't rubbing off of me. . .

Vert: I highly doubt that will happen considering you're so diligent and serious when needed, my sweet little sister.

Nepgear: Thanks. . . um, except for the sister part. . .

Vert: Now. . .

Vert turns to (Y/N) who walks right in front of Vert with a fierce look on his face.

Vert: You have proven to be a worthy fighter with those special skills of yours, (Y/N). If I'm not mistaken, you have a limited supply of Share energy inside of you, no?

(Y/N): Nope, you're right. I try to conserve my energy the best I can, so that way when I need to use to a skill using my energy, then I'll activate it. Share energy or no energy. . . I'm not giving in either way!

Vert: Likewise, but seeing that it's mano-a-mano now, I think you have earned the privilege to see my true power. . . Would you mind if I gave a little demonstration or would you like to stick with something easy?

(Y/N): Nah! Show me! I want to get the most amount of experience by fighting you at your best Vert!

Vert smiles and giggles from that.

Vert: Very well. Since you asked. . . Prepare to witness the true power of Leanbox's CPU!

Vert says this as a bright light emanates around her and see starts to transform to her goddess appearance and (Y/N) shields his eyes from the light.

https://youtu.be/1UKkeoHnudw

Now the fight is really about to get going as Vert now has purple eyes, she has green hair that is now in a ponytail, her attire is now a white bodysuit that is open in middle, exposing her stomach and underside of her chest. Her sleeves are detached and are white and black in the entirety. She is also wearing gauntlets that are covering the majority of her forearms.

(Y/N) sees Green Heart for the first and his eyes widened as he also blushes too seeing how much skin is shown in Green Heart's outfit as she just chuckles.

Green Heart (Vert): Alluring, isn't it~? I can tell by your red face~

(Y/N) quickly shakes his blush away so that his mind doesn't go into the gutter.

(Y/N): I'm not going to get anymore unfocused even if you do look really attractive, Vert! So come at me with all that you got!

(Y/N) says as he makes himself glow a (F/C) aura around his body. Green Heart sees that he was getting serious as she get's a competitive look.

Green Heart (Vert): With pleasure!

https://youtu.be/QtxvPXVUnjo

Green Heart dashes straight at (Y/N) who does the exact same as when (Y/N) tries to strike Green Heart, she immediately parries his attack and she spins her spear overhead a bit before striking (Y/N) with bigger force than she had before sending him flying. (Y/N) recovers as he activates his watch and starts levitating into the air.

Green Heart (Vert): So you have the ability to fly as well. . .

(Y/N): It uses up a considerable amount of energy in my watch, so I don't try and use for too long, but I also use this when I need a power boost.

(Y/N) then flies back down to the ground and swaps his sword for his gun shooting more golden energy shots at Green Heart. She flies head on to (Y/N) and she was able to dodge all of them with such agility that even (Y/N) was surprised.

Green Heart (Vert): I suppose we shall see who's faster now! Take this! Rainy Ratnapura!

Green Heart starts to send lightning fast stabs that (Y/N) was getting overwhelmed by and he got hit by a considerable amount before he get's knocked into a tree, nearly tipping it over. He grunts in pain before smiling at Vert.

Green Heart (Vert): Feeling like you should quit now~?

(Y/N): Not yet! I'm got my own skills up my sleeve as well!

(Y/N) stands back up and glows his sword golden before he does a side flip and slams his sword down onto the ground to perform Slamming Surge. Green Heart feels the ground shake beneath her which throws her off guard. (Y/N) sees this and he does a backflip and kicks himself off of the tree to send a headbutt to Green Heart and he follows up with three quick sword slashes. He tosses his sword above his head and spins around before catching it again to hit Green Heart with a hard hitting swing and actually sends her flying with a slight grunt of pain. However, she catches her landing by making a platform for herself. Nepgear and S-Sha were impressed with just how hard (Y/N) was able to hit Vert who was even stronger in her HDD form.

Nepgear: Whoa! I know that (Y/N) is strong. . . but to actually hold his own against Vert. . . that's really impressive.

S-Sha: Hmm, you know. . . this fight may actually catch my attention.

(Y/N): Told ya that I'm no joke! You're pretty fast and strong yourself though Vert! If you were to train more people to be fighters, you would be a great role model!

Green Heart lifts her head and smirks at (Y/N)'s compliment.

Green Heart (Vert): I appreciate your praise, (Y/N). However, that was merely but a test of your strength against mine. Now I know exactly just how much tolerance you can take.

(Y/N) smirks back at Green Heart.

(Y/N): Really now? Then I suppose that all we can do now is continue.

(Y/N) flips up into the air and comes down with a kick towards Green Heart, who not only blocks the attack, but she also swings her spear in a way to drag (Y/N) towards her and she sends a hard kick to his stomach making him cough up some spit before he get's sent flying into the air. Green Heart then flies up to swing her spear which strikes (Y/N) and sends him rocketing back towards the ground which causes a small explosion. When the dust clears, (Y/N) could be seen with a moderate amount of injuries as he groans before trying his best to stand back up as he sees Green Heart land on the ground.

She says nothing, but gives a "come on" gesture to (Y/N) to tell him that it's his turn. (Y/N) swaps his sword for his gun and he shoots a considerable amount of energy shots at Green Heart who deflects a couple, but that was (Y/N)'s plan to distract her as he summons his sword back at charges straight back at Green Heart. Green Heart sees (Y/N) trying to attack her and she guards just in time for them to have another standoff where they see who's stronger. This time, Green Heart pushes deeper and deeper as (Y/N) could feel his feet dig deep into the ground from Green Heart's strength which shocks (Y/N).

(Y/N): Holy shit! If you're actually this strong then I don't even wanna know how strong Blanc is when she transforms!

Green Heart (Vert): Blanc does share a considerable amount of features that make her the strong one out of all of us. . .

Green Heart wins as she catches (Y/N) with a kick to the side of his body and knocks him a considerable distance back.

Green Heart (Vert): But she is lacking in the more "charming" aspects of herself.

Green Heart says this as she makes her breasts bounce once.

In Lowee's Basilicom. . .

Blanc is sitting at her desk typing something before she suddenly sneezes and get's a tick mark on her head.

Blanc: (Some just said something to make fun of my chest. . .! They did, didn't they?!)

She says as she raises a fist and get's her signature pissed off look.

Back in the Holo Forest. . .

Green Heart giggles from admiring her own woman parts before (Y/N) sweatdrops a little from that as Nepgear did the same.

Nepgear: (She is very lucky that Blanc isn't around to hear that herself. . .)

(Y/N): (Vert really admires her chest for some reason. . . Probably because she's appears the oldest of the other three that I've met.)

(Y/N) then get's back his serious composure as he holds his sword right in front of him.

(Y/N): Get ready Vert cause this move is a big one that I've been saving! Golden Burst!

(Y/N) makes his sword glow golden, does a front flip and he swings his sword down overhead to send a couple of golden energy waves towards Green Heart who doesn't get enough time to evade and she guards it causing an explosion to happen at her. (Y/N) breathes heavily and looks at his watch to see that his Share energy levels are nearly low, but he was also running out of a lot of stamina too as he was breathing heavily with a few cuts in his clothes. Nepgear and S-Sha watch and see what happened to Green Heart. . . only to see that she was perfectly intact from the impact which shocks (Y/N) before he smiles at her.

(Y/N): Whoa! I actually thought that would at least do more damage or even wrap this up, but you're still standing?! I don't know if I should even be surprised anymore by you Vert.

Green Heart (Vert): *nods* Thank you. You've fought really well and you're very durable yourself for being someone who started fighting months ago and you were nearly was able to level yourself with a goddess such as me. . . You have proven to me with that you meet my expectations as such a young, handsome, and wonderful fighter.

(Y/N) smiles and blushes a bit from the compliment before Green Heart get's a fierce look on her face.

Green Heart (Vert): However. . . it is about time to wrap this up! This is where I take my victory! Spiral Break!

https://youtu.be/K6p79ZHH934

Green Heart immediately charges at (Y/N) and she pierces straight through him at such a quick speed that she was a blur. (Y/N) coughs up some blood before he looks around to see that Green Heart suddenly vanished confusing him before he suddenly felt another quick strike from out of nowhere. Green Heart then sends a barrage of fast attacks to (Y/N) coming from all directions, sending him high into the air screaming in pain before she comes back down to slide to a stop and finishes it off with a one last strike upwards as (Y/N) falls down to the ground injured. Green Heart wasn't done there as she throws her spear down right in between (Y/N) which he sees and it glows a green aura which makes his eyes widen and the spear causes an explosion sending (Y/N) rolling across the ground. With that move being done, Green Heart puts away her spear and walks right up to (Y/N) and kneels down to him.

(Y/N): *weakly* You're. . . really. . . cool, Vert. . . Let's spar. . . again one day.

After that being said, (Y/N) passes out from the fight and Green Heart just gives him a smile before she reverts back to her normal human form. A logo that had the text, "winner" appeared over Vert as she smiles at her victory before looking down at (Y/N).

Vert pats (Y/N) on the head and smiles at him, seeing that he was sleeping so soundly. She then turns to the other two.

Vert: I apologize for asking you two so suddenly, but can one of you take him to one of the guest rooms here in the Basilicom? He can sleep peacefully in there while I go back to playing MMOs in my room.

S-Sha: "That's" what you're worried about at the moment?

Vert: Well it has been quite some time and I'm sure some people at the guild are waiting for me to get back online, so. . . I hope that wouldn't be too much trouble. Oh, and those wounds too. . . I should have a supply of healing items that can be given to our guest as well.

Nepgear: . . .Well, you did kind of knocked him out, so I think he'll be needing a fair amount of them.

Vert: Not to worry. My only intention was to knock him down to his knees, but I suppose using such a strong move while used up a bunch of energy wasn't the best idea. Still, to think that this is the wandering solider of Gamindustri. . . I hope those skills of his will go into use of when we take down our enemy.

Nepgear: When exactly do you plan to do that?

Vert: After I find another ultra rare item. . . I'll give you the choice of watching me or you could stay in the other room that I have that's specifically vacant for you, Nepgear.

Nepgear: I figured that she would procrastinate more rather than look for more intel on the Virus Empire. However, you're right, (Y/N) is really experienced up until now. . . right, S-Sha?

S-Sha turns her head away.

S-Sha: Eh, I'm not really interested.

Vert and Nepgear look at S-Sha surprised that she still doesn't find (Y/N) to be at her tastes.

(Insert Mirai Button by Afilia Saga Here)

Nepgear: What?! Even after you saw him in action?

S-Sha: He's an adequate fighter like us. . . but it's not surprising that he lost to a CPU. It just means that he's not strong enough yet.

Vert: *sternly* S-Sha. . .

S-Sha: But he's backup. . . I guess we can count on him for help.

Vert: That's more like it. Come everyone, let us relax for today and prepare for the next.

Vert says this as she walks over to the power button of the holographic device and turns it off to return the room to it's normal landscape before walking towards the exit. Nepgear goes over and lifts (Y/N)'s body over her shoulder to support him out and she follows Vert out of the room along with S-Sha.

Location: Leanbox, Virus Empire Base

Time: Evening

Apparently from another location, a familiar green elite soldier was looking through a random camera that he hacked inside of the Basilicom and he puts his hand on his chin before nodding.

General Malware: I see. Yes. . . They will all definitely be great candidates for when they arrive soon enough. That will be their own choice though. . . I won't care either way. Winners are winners, losers are losers.
