"Greetings to you, who observe from universes unknown :-)). I am Histoire, the Tome of Planeptune...here to address to all views from distant lands. Theodore has graciously asked if I would perchance wish to make an introduction, to which I happily obliged...and even wished me to explain a reference. Which will be about myself"

Histoire makes a small cough "While I am not related to gaming as such, my name is a double-pun on what I am. My name comes from History, and Grimoire which in fiction is book of special magic. So you can see my inspiration :-)), and with that done...let me advance the story. It's been several weeks, about four or so, since Noire headed off to make her nation"

"For Terra and Neptune, they have arrived no closer to return home...and through the length of time have started to slip into laziness. Well Neptune more so anyway >0< ahhh. Terra continues to try and keep himself busy taking tasks for the Local guild. But even he is starting to slip, but fortunately the story begins one morning when I receive a message"


Histoire comes away from the open door, being handed a large letter that was bigger than she was. She comes back into the room, flipping it over to see "From Noire...it's been a while since we've heard from her"

"It has...hasn't it?" she turned right to see Terra, in a grey shirt and shorts "Ahhh, good morning"

"Terra...my goodness, do you know it's rather late in the morning?"

"Sorry, it's just...I haven't much to do lately and I think Neptune's Laxity is rubbing off on me. Taking on quests on my own...is starting to grow boring. I have tried getting Neptune to go with me a few times, and it works occasionally, but majorly...ahhh it's no go" he said slumping

"I have the same issue with Plutia, getting her to do work, and much like you I I've got to the end of my rope as well. Anyway I just received a letter from Noire :-), addressed to all of you. I believe it might be the invitation to her nation"

"What really!?" Histoire saw Terra immediately pick up and handed him the letter "Let's hope"


Terra opened the lettered, taking out the well written note "I send this to you, Neptune, Plutia and Terra. It's been a while since we've met...but I've done it. I've created a nation I can be proud and can now show it off to the world. Now since you all need a lesson in how a nation can really be run, Neptune and Plutia...you are to come and learn for yourselves and maybe do some work for once"


Tera flipped over the paper "as for you Terra...no doubt you'll start growing bored down there, since I know both girls aren't workaholics so I'm deciding to make use of your - going to waste - talent. If you're looking for work or some activities - I'll give you something to do. That...and I'm still waiting on your comment about my HDD form"

"She...still remembers that" said Terra with a sweat bead running down his face before reading on

"Come by the Fantasia Canyon, and my Nation will be view. See you there, Noire. PS Don't take too long, I haven't got all day"


Terra sighed again "it's hard to tell...if she's even nice or just plain stubborn about her feelings"

"It is difficult to decide isn't it?" asked Histoire chuckling "Well then Terra what is it you wish to do?"

"Well...since I'm close to going a bit mad of boredom, I'd like to go on ahead to Lastation. I would ask Neptune or Plutia, but I don't think they're in mood for moving...I actually think their gathering moss" Histoire floated forward, and patted Terra on the head

"Don't you worry Terra, I shall be having a good word with both of them >:\. You go on ahead, and I shall send them after you"


Terra nodded to her "then...I'll go get my stuff and be ready to head on out. Still...I wish I didn't have to go on my own but nevermind"

"Then...why don't I arrange something for you?" asked Histoire attracting his attention "There's a group of informants that regularly keeps me updated on all the going's on of Planeptune, keeping the peace on a day-to-day basis"

"That sounds rather useful, particularly since you're on your own"

"It is indeed. Now then, I shall call upon these informants to see if one of them would wish to accompany you to Lastastion. That way...it would ease my worries about sending you on your own"


Terra felt a little humbled "you...don't have to go to these lengths for me you know?"

"Maybe not...but I choose to :-)" Histoire said with a beaming smile and eyes closed "Now then...I shall prepare for them to meet you on your way. Now go get ready"

"Alright, I will" Terra rushed back into his room, getting changed rather quickly, before getting his backpack and his sword "and I'm ready to go"

"Safe travels Terra, and don't be long"

"I'll be careful...and thank you" with a small Terra went out of the room, with a small wave goodbye. mHistoire thought to herself 

"I'm not sure why, but I feel the strong need to watch over him...and ensure his growth goes well. A boy of a clear heart, yet strong power, can easily be swayed by others. Maybe...I just want to make sure he grows up well. Now then...to make the call"


Sometime had passed with Terra had just come out of a nearby item shop to stock up on his trip ahead "I got some healing herbs, simple medicines and some food and drink for the trip ahead. Right let's go" as Terra went onwards, from a nearby rooftops, someone was moving along them.

With decent speed, and graceful jumps, a girl of orange hair was easily traversing the rooftops towards the entrance of the town. Attached to her ear was Mic, to which she heard her instruction "Speaking, what's your request? Ahuh, ahuh, Histoire has requested a guide? Who for? Ahuh...ahuh, alright I'll scan for him now"


Jumping between rooftops to get towards the gateway of the town, the girl began looking out "Right I'm in position, can I have his description please? Ahuh, ahuh...there found the target. Tell Histoire I'm happy to oblige and will report my findings later in the day" she looked upon Terra who was walking towards the gate "Finally...my chance to go Lastation. I hope he's okay in behaviour, but we'll see"

Terra was about to reach the gateway to the open field "Hey you, is your name Terra?" Terra scanned round for the source

"Hello? Who's there?" he said searching round

"I'm the one who Histoire asked to guide you, that is to Lastation as an escort"

"Oh...are you one of those informants she mentioned?" he said trying to search for the owner of the voice "Hmm could I see you physically please? I'm worried I'm tripping about now"

"Oh hang on" from nowhere a girl with orange hair dropped in-front of Terra, making him jump.


The girl had landed quite softly on her feet, and one hand before rising up to her feet...which brought Terra a shade of red as he looked at her "Well Terra...it's nice to meet you. My codename is Marvelous AQL...it's good to meet you" before Terra was a girl of little above average height, with beyond chin-length orange hair and a large chest that were on par in size with Plutia's in her HDD form and maybe equal size to Vert's (If maybe a smidge off)

Marvelous had orange hair, which mostly reached the base of her neck with her bangs framing her face. Her eyes were red, and her pupils a light orange but oddly in the shape of musical notes. Marvelous was wearing a casual buttoned school uniform of white with black borders. She only had one button done up, at the top of her belly, leaving her breast area mostly revealed. The back of her shirt is open in the back, with straps, as if tied like a corset with a jumper tied around her waist.



Terra eyes scanned her from top to bottom, looking at her clothes, the swirl at the top of her head which had a loop-de-loop shape and then her mostly revealed chest "Is this how you meet most girls?" said Marvelous snapping from his stare and folded her arms "It's not exactly good manners to look at a girl's assets you know" Terra turned quite red

"Oh sorry...it was just on...instinct" he said not making a good excuse

"I'll forgive you...since you don't seem like a pervert or anything" Terra near fell over

"Thanks...I think" he said composing himself "So...you said your code name is Marvelous AQL? So that's not your real name?"

"My real name is to be kept secret, so my loved ones can't be targeted by villains or rival groups"

"Then...what does that make you, a secret agent or a Ninja?"

"Surprisingly close actually. I'm a Shinobi, part a secret underground group dedicated to the peace of the world"


As Terra heard her proclamation, he couldn't help but look round at the people "It's not going to be very secret, when you proclaim it like that"

"Don't worry about that" said Marvelous waving her hand "No-one ever really bothers to pay attention anyway. I mean the group has existed for quite a while, and no-one has caught on"

"Then people are either uninterested or thick. Well then, am I alright to just call you Marvelous? Since the story isn't including the AQL part from when referring to you"

"That's fine"

"Then good to meet you, Marvelous"


The two shook hands with Marvelous smiling "so...you said you were to be my guide?" asked Terra

"That's right. Histoire told me you're on your way to Lastation" said Marvelous "and you would like a guide there" Terra rubbed his head a little humbled

"Well...if you want, that's fine. I don't want to force you or anything"

"It's of no worry honestly" she said shaking her head "Now to get to Lastation we must venture through Fantasia Canyon. I've been on plenty of scouting missions, to help survey the land, saying that though beyond the canyon I'll be as lost as you are. So I won't be much of a guide from that point" she said rubbing her head

"Well...if Lastastion sticks out like Planeptune...we shouldn't have any problem. Besides it'll be an adventure for both of us"

"You make a point. Come on then...let's go"


It didn't take long for them to reach the open field, Terra talking rather casually with Marvelous who seemed quite interested to learn of his adventure "So...you and another CPU of Planeptune came from another world?" she repeated "and the only way back home...is with these Mascots?"

"For now we've got one Mascot" Terra said to her "The only other Mascot that can exist is for Lowee. Lastation's might be a bit too soon to emerge"

"So...why are you going to Lastastion then?"

"To visit Noire, or Black Heart as she's called now, and to kill some boredom" he then slumped forward "Nothing wrong with the CPU's of Planeptune...but they don't really do much. You could confused them for purple hair sloths" Marvelous patted him on the back

"It's okay...I can tell you're more of the outgoing type, doesn't like to sit still for too long" Terra nervously chuckled "Come on...let's go. The canyon is just up ahead"


After a somewhat relatively short trip Terra and Marvelous arrived at the Canyon...two long rocky like cliffs, connected by a few steel, thick bridges with a river running far below "So this is Fantasia Canyon huh?" asked Terra as he peered over the edge "and quite a far way down"

"I'd...come away from the edge Terra" said Marvelous tugging him away "the last thing you want to do is fall down...and down...then drown"

"Sorry I was just curious about how deep it was..and thank you"

"It's okay, come on this way"


The two began walking along Tenma turning to Marvelous with curious questions "Hey do you mind if I ask you something Marvelous? What kind of stuff do you do...as a ninja?"

"Sorry...not much I can say" said Marvelous with her hand out "It's mostly classified the information I'm given"

"I'm not asking anything private - I know Ninjas or Shinobi can't divulge a lot of things - I just ask do you go on infiltration missions, scouting missions? How do you train? You know that kind of thing"

"Oh right, sorry. I misunderstood what you were asking" she said clearing her throat "Well as Shinobi, we help keep the peace of the town. We're mostly information gatherers, going out on scouting missions like I mentioned before"

"I see..."

"As for training...it's different for each of us. There's weapon training, elemental workshops...and summon rites"


Terra tilted his head "I've got the feeling the third one is classified, so I won't bother ask, but what about the second one?"

"Not much to say about the elemental workshop" said Marvelous "I can't mention the process fully...but some of us can command the elementals, but only certain ones through scrolls. I can command the fire elemental for example"

"And last question...can you do any flashy moves and stuff? You know like shadow clones or substitutions?"

"That's literally 101 of ninja academy. Here...I'll show you the cloning jutsu"

"What really!? That's okay"

"There's only us here...so just keep quiet okay?" Terra nodded "then here we go" Terra saw Marvelous lock her hands together, but stuck up her index fingers together "and...go" in a puff of smoke, Terra saw four Marvelous' had now appeared.


Terra reacted in awe as the four Marvelous', not at the same time, waved at him and said "Here you are...what do you think?"

"That's...really sweet" he said making Marvelous laugh "There are actually four of you! Are you all real?"

"That's for you to decide" the four girls said, not quite in sync "You could try if you want" all four backflipped "but that's just it, you can only try" three of the Marvelous' vanished in smoke leaving only one "It's a good trick for fooling my enemies"

"Well it fooled me, anyway...thank you for showing me that"

"It's no problem"

"Still...how about I show you a technique of my own?"


Marvelous looked a little taken aback "You don't mind, then if you want to please go ahead"

"Then here I'll show you one" said Terra who both hands over each other, over his forehead. Marvelous wondered what Terra was to perform, until she saw his hands glowing yellow "Hadou-dan!" thrusting his hands forward he shot a yellow beam into a distance...hitting the ground with a mild bang.


Marvelous looked rather stunned, Terra a little nervous by her reaction "So...what do you think?" her expression quickly turned amazed

"I...can't give the right words to describe it" said Marvelous looking at him "I'll just say...that was amazing"

"Oh phew...I thought you'd be freaked out or something" he said anxiously

"From what I've seen, that's not too far from the norm" Terra then had to ask

"What exactly have you seen?"

"Try a ninja summoning a large pipe-smoking toad...who can breathe fire" Terra cocked his head "and then swing a giant sword to cleave a giant cobra that spits acidic water"

"Yeah...does make my trick look normal" Marvelous chuckled "well...I'm glad I didn't freak you out. Most people...can't do that"

"Terra...don't be too ashamed of what you can do. It's not the power you have that's important, it's how you use it that's important" this seemed to cheer Terra up "Come on let's keep going"


Back at Planeptune, Neptune and Plutia were taking a very lax approach to the day, lying down lazily on a bunch of pillows and cushions. Histoire was floating above, very unhappy and with a small drink in hand "Now girls...can I ask what it is you are doing :-[?"

"Just...chillaxing little Histy" Neptune said with an exaggerated sigh "you know...just catching on my Z's and sawing some logs"

"I can...see that...Neptune >:/" Histoire looked to be holding herself back quite a bit "What I mean to say is...why is it...you're just laying around?"

"Well...we're comfortable" said Plutia snuggling in the pillows "It's just so soft here, and really cosy. I want to move...but my body won't let me"


Histoire...looked almost ready to pop, but the .went to a state of calm as if her anger had got to a point, her brain didn't know how to make her react or behave "So...you plan on doing anything? Like...visiting Noire for instance?"

"Look Histy...we can visit Noire whenever we want" Neptune said tiredly and waving her hand "It's no biggie, we can go tomorrow"

"Yeah Histoire...Noire can wait" said Plutia with eyes closed settling to sleep "She is super patient with us all after all*

"Besides...little Terra can tell us all we'll need to know" Histoire just sighed

"It seems...I've got no choice here"


Histoire took a good drink and deep breath before she exploded into a fit, her voice even elevating in volume "That's it! I've had enough of this! You two are to do some work this instant! :@"

"Wait whoa!" Neptune said springing up to a sitting position "Chill out, chill out"

"Histoire...calm down" said Plutia a little scared

"I will...NOT CALM DOWN!!" Histoire wasn't really shouting loudly, but the anger in her otherwise soft voice sent a sharp shiver up through both of the girl's spines "All you do is a laze about! I won't have anymore of it today! Now get off your bums, go over to Lastation...and let Noire drum into you what makes a good CPU! Now follow Terra's example...and GO!!!"


Terra, at that moment, sharply shivered and sneezed "I just got...a mad vibe going on there"

"Oh...are you okay?" asked Marvelous a little worried

"Yeah, yeah...I'm not coming down with anything. For some reason, I feel like I dodged a bullet" to his light surprise Marvelous felt his forehead with her hand

"Well you're not hot or anything, so yeah you're okay to keep going no fevers"

"Oh...hmm...thank you" he said a little taken aback with Marvelous smiling "so how much longer till we reach the end?"

"We're about halfway there...let's keep going"


The pair got along really rather well, and seemed to become fast friends. The trip had its small share of battles, with enemy monsters. Horsebirds, Radishers (Legged radishes) and red Dogoo's populated the area. Terra with sword in hand battled against them with some ease, only taking a few hits to his body.

Marvelous herself was armed with a Katana blade, both hands at the end of the hilt, fighting with acrobatic movements and quick slashes. She also used her cloning technique and a skill to embed with her blade with fire. The two finished off a fight, both their bodies flashing orange "and that's a level up" Terra said "Sweet"

"Same for me too" said Marvelous "You're obviously quite strong, you got knocked around a little but you didn't suffer much damage"

"You didn't get hit at all. I guess being a Shinobi helps with Acrobatics" Marvelous nodded "Well then let's move on"

"Wait...aren't you going to heal up?" asked Marvelous seeing his scuff marks on his chest and upper arm from the battle

"Nah...light marks like this will heal on its own"

"Hmmm...maybe so but I want to be sure"


Marvelous reached to her side and then produced a Futomaki roll (A sushi roll stuffed with meat or vegetables) which she handed to Terra "Here you are...take this. It'll fix you right up" Tenma took the black fish skinned like roll, and saw stuffed inside several green leaves and white meat

"What...is this?" asked Terra

"How about you try it first before I say what is it? To help ease your worry, this is my favourite food item"

"A blind taste huh? Well...you seem trustworthy enough" he said jokingly "here I go" with eyes closed he bit out a good chunk, not sure what to expect as he chewed, but very quickly...his face lit up.


Terra was confronted by a combination of flavours, all dancing on his tastebuds. Marvelous could tell by his expression it went down well "So you like it?" Terra nodded before swallowing

"It's delicious...I haven't tasted anything like this" said Terra "What is it?"

"It's called Futomaki...it's a Sushi roll, basically raw fish. It's delicious, good for you and a decent healing item. I'm surprised you like it though since most of my friends aren't big fans of it"

"I'm from a fishing town, so we used to have fish on a regularly basis...but yeah this fantastic. I can see why it's your favourite food"


Marvelous seemed delighted by his comment "I'm glad I get to share it with you. You can have the rest of it if you want" Terra then felt a little selfish

"Not until...I do this first" Terra broke the Futomaki in half, giving Marvelous the other "This was yours to begin with...so it's only fair we actually share it" she looked a bit surprised, but then turned gratefuly

"Thank you" she said with a smile taking it "Come on...we're nearly there"


Marvelous and Terra were at the edge of the canyon, approaching a downward slope "There it is...the end" said Marvelous "Once we go down this slope, we're on the open field" but then then Terra put out his arm stopping her "what is it?" his voice sounded a little...anxious

"I can hear...rapid footsteps...from ahead" from in-front the sound of a running quadrapet caught both their attentions. It was then with a leapt...a giant lump of meat and fur landed before them...Terra flinching from its landing.


Before them with a giant red-furred wolf, with sharp three toed claws and a land bushy tailed. It was staring right at them, with its snarling teeth and drool leaking from it's a jaw. Marvelous immediately went serious "The Fire Fenrir...the boss beast of this area. I was lucky enough to avoid it last time...but it found us. Terra we have to be...Terra?"

"A...Fenrir" he repeated looked quite anxious "Just great...we have to fight...a Fenrir and a...f-fire one"


Terra looked somewhat scared in his body language. His feet was inching backwards, his eyes wide and locked onto the beast while his muscles seemed to twitch. Marvelous firmly said "don't run Terra...if you make a sudden movements it'll pounce"

"Okay...okay" he said gulping some air for a bit of courage "Come on Terra...it's just another...monster. Nothing to be...worried about"

"It's okay to be nervous about him Terra. Alongside Dragons, and Dolphins...Fenrir's are one of the strongest breeds to exist"


Terra drew his sword, the Fenrir inching forward before with a howl a shockwave blew upon him pushing them back "This one's...powerful. Should we...try to fight it?" he said reluctantly

"We just have to get past it" Marvelous said looking beyond the wolf "As soon as we head down the slope, we're leaving its territory and it won't follow us" Terra seemed to prefer this idea...but only little

"I would prefer...not to fight it at all" he said "but...we've got no choice" the Fenrir then lunged "Here it comes!"

The Fenrir landed where the two were stood, before they both jumped away. Terra landed and went forth to strike the beast, dealing a vertical slide down its side. The Fenrir reacted with a swipe of its paw, which although he blocked knocked him into the ground. Marvelous went in next with two rapid slashes to the other side, but like with Terra the beast swiped at her.

Marvelous jumped off the Fenrir, with a back-flip into the air to which the Fenrir made a piercing howl forcing her cringe along with Terra. The Fenrir then jumped, flipped forward to swat Marvelous to the ground with a heavy slam.


Terra looked onto Marvelous who cringed as she sat up, and flinched at the beast landed. As he picked himself up, the Fenrir lifted up a paw which was glowing a bright yellow "Marvelous!" he quickly rushed away, as the Fenrir clawed at her, but fortunately with an slash he knocked away and deflected the Fenrir. Then with a beam of energy, he forced it back.

Terra landed, helping Marvelous to her feet "Are you alright?" he said before she slightly faltered

"We are...going to have to make a run for it" she said firmly "That one hit...took a lot out of me" Terra anxiously looked at the beast, embers of flame escaping its drooling jaws

"Right time to get serious...awakening!" with a flash of light, his hair changed to its purple colour, with his eyes, and a cowlick of hair sprung up "Marvelous...I'll keep the beast distracted"

"No...you can't do it alone" she said strongly "Once we get enough distance, I'll throw a smoke bomb and we run"

"Okay" he said as the Fenrir charged "here it comes!"


The beast ran right to them, Terra being ready before Marvelous went ahead. Terra saw her pull out a blue scroll which she 'sat' on her thumb and extended index fingers "Ninja arte: Water Tsunami jutsu" from the scroll a fierce tidal wave poured out, hitting the Fenrir's legs knocking off balance "Terra go for it" Terra jumped at the beast, spinning to double-kick knocking it off it's feet into the air.


As Terra rebounded, he put his hands to his forehead "Terra wait...hold your fire" Marvelous threw a black scroll towards him which, strangely, stuck to his hands "go for it now"

"Alright...Hadou-dan" his beam went through the scroll while Marvelous clasped her hands together

"Secret-Arte...trio clone" on command, and her falling to her knees, Terra's beam split into three all of them hitting the Fenrir with decent effect.


Terra looked quite satisfied, as he fell to earth, but the Fenrir got back up and didn't look happy "Three blasts...and it looked like it hardly hurt it" the Fenrir reared up its head, and spew out a flame like ball. On impulse Terra quickly fired a beam of energy to fend off the flame, for a moment blocking it, but the flames pierced through, Terra reacting as the fire-ball struck with explosive damage.


Terra fell to earth, smoking ebbing from his body while his clothes were mildly charred. He had suffered a great deal of damage, evident by his struggle to get to his knees...but upon looking at the wolf, started to feel scared. The Fenrir looked not too hurt, flames still escaping from its lips...with Terra making rapid stuttered breaths, while Marvelous looked nervous herself.

Terra, saw flashes of purple...and darkness replace the Fenrir, as if his fear played with his imagination. The beast reared up his head, ready to unleash another burst of fire upon him. Terra looked away with eyes shut, before "No you don't!" he opened his eyes to see Neptune appear before him, as Purple Heart, knocking the beast back with her sword.


Neptune fended off the Fenrir "Plutie...get those two to Safety"

"Okay Neppie" said Plutia who appeared before Terra "Healing" Terra clothes, and his condition, recovered to a degree "And you too...healing" and then Marvelous the same "come on...let's go" she helped up Terra to his feet, before he looked at the Fenrir, Neptune holding him off

"Alright...then let's get of here" with Marvelous, and Plutia the three ran to the slope away from the canyon.

Neptune watched them, before seeing them out of the fight "Now to make my exit" with a slashed to it's head, making it flinch, she flew to the group just as Fenrir chased after her. Marvelous though spun round, and threw a metal ball at the Fenrir which engulfed it in smoke. This distraction allowed Terra and friends to get away.


The three of them ran to near the bottom of the slope, to the open field all out of breath. Neptune flew to them "It seems I got there in time" she said before reverting to human "and typical of the heroine I save the day"

"You...really helped us out back there Neptune" said Terra looking a bit shameful "another minute and we'd be barbequed...thank you"

"It's no biggie...just buy me a pudding later"

"Are you both okay?" asked Plutia

"Yeah we're both fine" said Marvelous "Thanks for the assist"

"So Terra who's your new lady friend" said Neptune before implying by pressing her hands out from her chest "You're very well-grown booby lady friend"

"Neptune...try to be polite please" said Terra sighing "you two, this is Marvelous a shinobi and my guide"


Marvelous bowed "It's nice to meet you both, Lady Neptune and Plutia"

"Whoa...you know about us?" said Plutia in surprise "How?"

"Intelligence" she said simply with a wink "after all, our group prides itself on information gathering" the two girls looked between other, before looking around "Well...now that we've met up, shall we carry on Lastation?"

"Might as well...since we're already here" said Neptune before noting the depressed look on Terra's face "What's with the long face?"

"I choked...that's what's wrong" he said depressed "I didn't stand a chance against that beast. It was too powerful. I wasn't...strong enough and...you may not be around to save me next time...and I need to...find the power to fend it off"


It was then a friendly pat to his shoulder turned him to Marvelous "Terra...I'm not even sure if the Goddess' faced that beast...they'd win lightly. The Flame Fenrir is immensely strong a creature, and rightly so. Don't kick yourself for not beating it"

"So what you couldn't beat it this time" said Neptune energetically "As soon as you gain a few levels, and the occasional monster bashing...you'll show it's no issue next time"

"Don't worry Terra" said Plutia "I'm sure if you get strong...you'll be beat it no problem" Terra perked up a little

"Alright...thank you" he said with a little smile "come on let's head on Lastation I'd rather not keep Noire waiting"


With three nods the girls headed on, with Terra lingering. He looked at his hand, his near defeat on his mind "I will get stronger...and more powerful than before. I have to make sure" he clenched his hand tightly "I never lose again"

"Terra...Terra come on" called Neptune

"Oh coming" glancing back he ran on to meet his friends.

"And with that...it's back to the studio. What did you think of the chapter...good right? I guess Terra...isn't quite the all perfect hero I'd thought he'd be. Then again if he was...he'd get pretty boring rather quickly. Now before we move on to the preview...it's reference time and Marvelous is up front"

"Marvelous, or Marvelous AQL, is named directly after the company she's based on MARVELOUS. MARVELOUS is mostly known for the Senran Kagura series, a game of very busty Ninja girls that's become quite popular...for a few reasons. Marvelous herself is based on the five main girls of the series, or the first five I should say, with the swirl cowlick like that of the original Logo. With that done...we'll move onto Marvelous for the preview"

Marvelous enters, and gives a friendly "hello everyone, I'm Marvelous AQL...but please call me Marvelous, or Marvy as that's what Neptune is calling me. Now for the preview. Neptune, Terra and friends arrive at Lastation where Noire awaits them. While I part ways, it leaves the trio to be taught on the ways of being a CPU...which lands with mixed results. It's also later that night when Terra...is confronted by a dark vision, leaving him gasping in the night. Stay tuned for Chapter 11: Reality or Nightmare? See you then Marvelous out"
