Tangled By A CPU

Need help?

"It's a pleasant to meet you lady Vert," I say as she smiles and I take her hand kissing it.

"Here you go Red,"I turn to see Nepgear handing me a pretty big purple hoodie."This was Neptune's but she bought two sizes too big."she says as Vert giggles.

"Some women aren't just big enough for their clothes." I raise my eyebrow as she says that,"Wow Vert low blow you should save that for Blanc."

"I think I shall, anyway enough handsome distractions, I came to ask if you would help me with a project your friend here can join if he wants, "She looks at me and away to Nep as she says that.

"I'm a bit too tired to travel,"Neptune falls back on her couch pulling out a pudding cup. "Not a problem I brought it here." She pulls out a black cube and sets it down, "What does it do,"I ask as she smiles,"Place your hand here."

Vert grabs my hand and leads it to the top of the cube as it suddenly illuminates." Whoa a glowing rubix cube!"Neptune says it changes colors and a blast of light appears."What the goodness?"Nepgear says as I look and see a tray dinner in front of me.

"Whooaa now I'm actually listening what is it?"Neptune says."Its the new Leanbox tech a creative way to store items and even-" Vert quickly makes the cube glow and pulls out a gaming system."-amazing things."

"Whoa Vert you actually made something I will use nice one,"Neptune says as Nepgear gets a closer look. "How can something more massive that the cube fit?" Nep grabs the tray of food in front of me and begins to eat.

"It simply stores it and brings it out when needed."

"So uh you came all this way to show me your cool pic nic basket? "Neptune speaks up. "Not entirely I needed a day of and my shares are holding up for me to have a small break, now then care for a PvP?"

"You're going down Vert!"

I sigh as I begin to walk around seeing a lot of random drawings and pictures of a little blonde girl with bear paws.

I keep looking as Nepgear walks toward me,"Oh you're probably wondering who drew that, it's a girl from another dimension Peashy, Neptune's closest friend. She actually came to us somehow but for now we don't know when she'll visit."

I look closer at the painting and see another girl with purple hair holding a bear. I part my lips to ask then I see Histoire approach Nepgear.

"Nepgear can I speak with you in private." I walk out the room and sit back down as I see Vert and Neptune mashing buttons countering each others moves.

"Hey...Red? Care to help me out on a mission since my big sister has company?"I see Nepgear be nervous as she asks me I stand up and nod."Sure I mean while Lynn recovers I will do anything you repay you guys."

I follow her down and we take the elevator. I stretch my arms up as she looks at me with curiosity. "What's that?"

I look at my hand and scratch my head."Well its a mark I gained from a old cave." Nepgear looks closer as if its some type of priceless artifact.

*2 Hours Later*

"So what happened here?"I ask as I see a entire burned field."Its what was left after a legendary dragon came and burned the area."I jump at the thought of that "Wait so we're here to fight a dragon!?!"

"Actually...it's just I didn't want to head out without someone to talk to but you can help!"She says as I laugh and tap her head.

"Don't worry about it will be nice to see your transformation since your sister is totally not herself in HDD."

Her face goes red and she walks in front of me as the ground shakes drastically."What the goodness!? "

I look around and see a massive fireball heading for me I quickly jump to the side barely avoiding it as Nepgear gets ready.

"Stand back I'll handle this, "She says as a big purple light flashes, I see her but she's a bit taller...whoa that's her HDD form.

The dragon emerges from the forest and flies above us as Nepgear goes ahead and slices it up. I quickly summon my sword and wait for it to land. Nepgear fights the dragon avoiding its fire blasts.

I dodge the fire that almost hits me as I look up."I'm down here you know,"I say a bit loudly as she apologizes.

I look at her as the dragon whips his tail and hit Nepgear sending her flying off to the undamaged forest.

I look back up and see him charging a massive fire ball and launching it at me...I pause not feeling my being able to move. I snap out of my daze and begin to run as I jump over the burnt trees and bushes. The ball blows up sending me flying across a few hundred feet and I land with my back on top a sharp bush.

I slowly get up brushing off the pain and looking up at the dragon..."You're going down buddy. "I say instantly jump towards him in a zig-zag avoiding his attempt to blow me back.

I jump high into the air, and feel my left hand start to feel a burning sensation as I punch the dragon sending it down quickly. Returning to the ground I punch the floor seeing Nepgear get back out of the forest and slices the dragon up as she starts to lose her speed and gets knocked down. I run to her,"Nepgear! Hold on,"I jump over many obstacles and help her up she has hesitant eyes. I carry her and she soon stands up with a glowing aura around her. "I feel way better now. I won't lose!"she says flying faster and easily doesn't let the dragon get her as she flies high up and cuts him in half.

She lands back into her normal form as I see the dragon fall and break apart."Whoa nice one Nepgear!"I say as I high five her and her face gets red by my compliment.

"Thanks I couldn't have done it without you, Red? Why is your hair um..red?"I look up as she pulls out a mirror from out of nowhere. I don't question it and see it slowly see it fade back to its natural color. "I honestly don't know, but we should get back. "

"That's him! He and the goddess saved us! "I turn to see a crowd of people cheering us on...maybe we shouldn't make a subtle rush back.
