Chapter 2

Noire and Uni had to listen to Specter about how he was working for the BODD, and what was going on. The two girls were a little stunned to hear that this guy was from another dimension unlike there's, and the explanation about the outcast ordeal was also not what they expected, nor the info of Ruby and Weiss.

"So...you're here to protect us?" Noire asked the soldier. "What from?"

"There's an enemy that I believe is after the goddess of this dimension." Said Specter

"Well, if he does appear out of the same portal that you came out of, how do we know what he looks like?" asked Uni, who also tried to process all of this information.

"Not a he, an It, and it's mostly a metal robot of sorts. Last time I checked, it can shapeshift its hands into weapons."

"It's only one robot, I'm sure we can take it down with no problem."

"It took a hit to the face from a sword, I don't think you can take it down that easy."

Noire sighed heavily and got all the information down on her brain. "Right...So about this thing with Ruby and Weiss, they started all of this, but they didn't try to fix it or anything like that?"

"They're too busy in their own world fighting for their lives. We believe that they don't have the device to jump into other dimensions, other than that we don't know." the specter explained. "My division has been trying to locate their whereabouts but so far they prove to be off the grid."

"Ugh how annoying, two people could cause such a mess and just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder" Noire stated while glancing at the specter.

"So since your gonna be here a while, I guess we should know your real name and could you take off your helmet?" asked Uni.

"Sorry ma'am. For starters, my true name is classified and I only go by Specter. Second, I never take of my helmet while in public or with anybody really. It is to keep my identity a secret."

"Right, anyway why would these evil outcasts want to kill us?" Asked Uni.

"I do not know yet, however their motives differ. Some want to rule their world and more. Others wanted to just bring chaos and destruction." the Specter answered.

Noire's sister had to ask "But surely there are heroic ones right?"

"Of course, there will almost always be light in the dark. That light may even come from the oddest of people."

The two nodded at this new information, considering that they were going to need help from the BODD was enough for them to be well prepared for this bloodthirsty villain.

Noire's phone started ringing, so she checked on it, noticing that the caller ID was from Neptune. "Hello?"

"Noire, something bad has happened!" Neptune quickly said, her voice sounded like she was running, "We have a bad guy that fell from the sky, and I believe he's coming after us!"

"Wait wait, calm down Neptune."

"How can I be calm when that guy attacked me and Nepgear! He's after our blood!" Neptune shouted.

"What did he look like?"

"He had...cool looking metal armor or maybe it was skin, and he was glowing orange!"

The Specter looked up from his tac-pad "That must be a promethean of the enemy."

Noire looked at him, "how did you just hear that from my phone, it wasn't on speaker."

"I easily hacked through the security software you have installed. Quite weak."

"What!" Noire responded, "How dare you!"

"My apologies but it was necessary. I will give you the BODD's security software if you show me your servers."

Neptune just continued, unaware of what was going on behind the other line, "We're still in Planeptune and we're trying to hide, just make sure you can get there fast!" She hung up without saying anything else. Noire looked at Specter.

"If you're willing to help us, then we should get Neptune to safety." She told him. "I can't believed this is happening."

"Of course let's move out." The specter then proceed to grab what appeared to be an orange cube from his bag "Hey what is the nearest forest or cave to Planeptune?"

"The Virtua forest, why do you ask?" Noire looked at Specter puzzled. He looked at her with his orange cube in hand. "Well I have a teleporter cube right here, it will get us there instantly."

"Isn't that like impossible?" Noire looked at him with a sceptical look.

To defy that explanation, Specter slammed the cube down on the ground and a light had blinded their vision for only a second until the surroundings have been revealed to be in the middle of the Virtua Forest.

"Told you" the specter began walking forward with a furious Noire behind him and a confused Uni.

The current condition of the place could only be described as empty, and quiet for the three. "Man, the Virtua forest is deserted. Where are all the monsters?" Uni questioned as she looked around.

Noire answered, "I'm guessing it's because of this 'plot' that Neptune keeps talking about." This was the first time this had happened, so it was both a lucky and unlucky day for them. The wind only accompanied the empty fields of the area.

"I feel as if we could be walking into a trap." Specter stated while looking around with his blade ready.

"Please you are too cautious, no one would be foolish enough to attack us. We are too powerful." Noire looked at him as if he had stated something idiotic.

"We should still be on guard." The Specter stated. The three kept moving along the path, and only one expected danger, while the other two were highly confused as to why this is happening.

"This Neptune is a goddess right? So why is it that she cannot take on the promethean?"

"That's something I'd like to ask her myself." Noire told him. "I think she is just being lazy again. I knew she would be slacking off."

"I find that likely...but not that much." Uni said, keeping the rifle close to her.

"Like I said, it took a hit from a sword and it's still standing." the Specter reminded the CPU of Lastation

"Right, but only because she probably didn't try hard enough. Using her HDD form would've probably helped."

"Right, but we'll have to see if that works out." Specter said, "If by any chance that the girls went by here, then they must've retreated back at the city."

"Then let's head there before that thing finds her."

The Promethean was still wandering around the nation in search of the goddess and her sister. Most of the NPCs didn't pay attention towards him, thinking that he was some sort of wandering type.

"Come on, those two should definitely be somewhere around here." Shiva was heard in the intercom again, "Initiate sonar range."

The robotic outcast slammed its fist on the ground and another one of its abilities had activated, allowing it to see anybody within a 100 mile radius, even through walls. It was able to notice two silhouettes moving running unlike the rest of the people in this city. "There they are."

Nepgear and her big sister was still on the run, much more determined to escape the new bad guy even if they were not in its sights. "New plan, we should leave this nation and head for Leanbox, we'll be alright there."

"No, we can't just leave that thing walking around our nation," Nepgear explained to her, "it's gonna destroy everything if we just left."

"You're right as usual." Neptune sighed and took a peak around a building to see if the enemy was approaching her, and it was a few miles away. "Well, wish me luck."

"Neptune, wait."

"Don't worry Nep Jr. I know how to beat this guy." Neptune walked away from her hiding spot and shouted at it, "Hey Metal Man!"

The robot noticed her and kept walking towards her with its arm turning into a sword again. Neptune only smiled and shouted, "HDD form, activate!" A light shined around her and she started floated in the air for a little bit. Several purple parts were installed right onto her body in a fashion that both video games and anime could replicate, and she landed on the floor afterwards, revealing herself as Purple Heart, her HDD form.

The robot just stood there with no reactions towards the goddess of Planeptune. "Haha! So this is my opponent, a machine." Her personality had been changed and she more confident into beating this thing up.

Shiva's voice was heard inside the robot. "Yeah yeah, keep laughing All mighty Purple Heart, you might just regret it. Promethean 343, engage and eliminate."

"Yes commander." The robot had its other hand change into a sword, and it charged forward to attack her.

Purple Heart showed no fear as she blocked the strike with her sword, and smiled as she swung it with grace, making a scratch on the enemy's skin. The Promethean kept looking at her as its hands change into plasma cannons and fired straight at the goddess, who dodged with tremendous backflips and rolls.

She gained the advantage and kicked the enemy, and he fell on the solid ground, making a few cracks underneath its weight.

"Good job Neptune!" Nepgear shouted from behind the building. The robot noticed her and decided to change its target without permission, it fired a blast at her. Purple Heart zoomed to her sister and blocked the blast, "Go!" Nepgear obeyed and headed to somewhere safe.

The Promethean resumed its mission to eliminate the CPU of Planeptune, this time the swords returned. Purple Heart kept smiling and decided to make things easier for the enemy. She flew towards it, and grabbed its neck, then continued to ascend upwards into the sky. Once she reached a high enough level, she looked at the Promethean. "I bet you are already regretting this!"

The goddess' taunting had only made the commander's voice silent. "This is what you getting for messing with me!" Purple Heart let go and the Promethean started falling, but it was expecting it as it activated its flight program. Two steel wings popped out of it and it began flying towards its enemy with its swords up. "You just don't know when to quit, do you?"

The Promethean allowed Purple Heart to charge forward for another strike at the armor, but when she swung it, it blocked and then kicked her face in the air. It swung and it hit one part of her armor which resulted in a scratch. The goddess came back down to the machine and tried to take it down, but it dodged the attack and allowed its blasters to form and fire at her. She dodged them but most of them had landed on top of the buildings or around them.

Nepgear avoided one of the blasts in front of her and kept running until she reached one of the stations that led to Leanbox. She looked up at the sky and said, "Good luck Neptune." Then left.

The Promethean had one hand change into a sword, but kept its other one as a blaster to fire at the goddess, she kept dodging them and made another charge to get its guard down, but it blocked the strike and then kicked her in the chest, sending her flying close to a building.

She started to take deep breaths as she prepared to for the Promethean to try and attack her.

Down below, Noire, Specter and Uni had reached the city. "Up there!" Uni pointed out the aerial clashing fight between Purple Heart and The Promethean. "We got to help her!" Uni yelled while transforming. "Already on it" Noire stated transforming into Black heart and taking off with Uni right behind her.

"I told the armory to give me a jet pack to use but no, I am going to have a long talk with Jenkins when I get back." The Specter stated before beginning to run to an open area pulling off his back his assault rifle, which was a DC-17 with the electromagnetic scope with two zoom modes, for "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead." The size of the bullets were FMJ armor piercing 14.5 by 114 rounds, and he loaded the gun as he took aim in the air to where the Promethean was.

It blocked both attacks from Black Sister and Purple Heart, which left Black Heart to crash in and kicked him near the building, this was where Specter fired the bullets and it stunned the machine.

"Now!" Purple Heart had charged again and kicked the enemy to the floor where it landed near the soldier who kept firing his gun at it. It slowly stood up and looked at him before charging in, but the sword was blocked by the side of his rifle. As he kept his guard up, Uni soared right in and slammed the Promethean right out of their sight, it rolled back on its feet and tried to fire its blasters against the heroes. They were blocked.

"Damn these guys are good." Shiva said to the ears(?) of the Promethean, "No wonder we have alternative plans."

Purple Heart pointed her sword at it and shouted, "Who sent you?"

The voice of Shiva decided that it would be best to explain it herself, "Promethean 343, I'm switching to override voice control."

The enemy that just stood there had its voice change to a female's. "This is the Commander Shiva of the Multiverse Regime, We have invaded this dimension in order to rule the multiverse. First this dimension will bow before us then the next then the next until all worship and obey us"

"So that's your plan? You want the goddess dead so you can rule this universe?" Black Heart shouted back at it. "You made a mistake of doing so, go back to your home world!"

"Sorry Ms. Black heart but you and your friends aren't going to intervene with our plans. It's all gonna end with me taking a seat atop a golden throne watching down from a high rise while your corpses are at the bottom, broken, mangled and bloody-"

"Will you just shut up already!" Uni slammed her fist at the Promethean's face and it fell on the floor defeated, with several cracks on its face.

"Good riddance," Purple Heart said, then transformed back into Neptune and became exhausted, "And I thought the Puppet from Five Nights at Freddy's was annoying." She collapsed on the floor, "By the way, who is this OC character and where did he come from?"

"His name is Specter from the Black Operatives Division of Dimensions." Noire explained as she transformed back into her normal self, "And he's here to help us stop a villainous outcast group from killing us."

"Oh good. One baddy is all I could take for today. I'm pooped." Neptune proceeded to sit down on the floor where she was standing.

"Well I would hope you have a higher stamina than that Purple Heart." Specter stated as he began analyzing the prometheans armor and weaponry.

"How do you even know me? Unless I'm just that famous across this so called Multiverse that the evil lady was talking about."

"He's from another dimension, and he knows a lot about us." Uni explained. "He even hacked Noire's phone to find you guys."

"He said he'd get me better security later!" Noire shouted back. Her sister just ignored her, then noticed something wrong.

"By the way, where is Nepgear?"

"I told her to escape to Leanbox while I fended off the metal man," Neptune said, "I'm sure Vert will take good care of her."

"You make it sound like she is weak." The Specter stated

"Hey, she isn't weak! She's my little tough sister who knows how to take care of herself, we were just in danger from being murdered by a futuristic robot thank you very much!"

"Understood, I hope she went to warn Lady Green heart of what happened here. This, I fear, is only the beginning." The Specter stated turning around to face the group.

"Great, you used that cliched line of dialogue that everybody says when the possible chance of the bad guys start preparing for war...wonderful!" Neptune replied with an obnoxious tone, "Can't we just agree that we should stop saying this."

"Unfortunately I just looked through this Prometheans' head gear and there's only a few things about our enemy. Whoever this Shiva person is, she is powerful. She appears to have many planets already under her control along with a massive army of Prometheans at her disposal."

"Well that's great news, next thing you'll be telling me is that she's using cheat codes to be like a goddess."

"Neptune, we're gonna have to prepare ourselves in case of an all out invasion. This may be our greatest opponent yet." Noire told Neptune.

"That's what we thought when we faced Arfoire, remember? And look how that turned out."

"Will you just stop talking back Neptune." Noire shut her up.

Commander Shiva had just watched the footage and she was rather disappointed at this, the fight between the Promethean and the three CPUs and a soldier from the BODD only made her realize that this is going to be a lot more harder than expected. She sighed heavily and put her feet up on the table in front of her.

"So the BODD wants to play dirty, that's just good for me." She brushed her long black hair out of the way and looked at the computer to see what other environments there were to attack. Leanbox currently had Vert with Nepgear, and Lowee had Blanc and her twin sisters in there. She could also invade Lastation since those two Black sisters weren't there at the moment and try to weaken the structures of their home, but that would be a waste of a Promethean.

"Might as well just make sure Lowee gets its warm welcome." Shiva typed in a few letters on the keypad that zoomed in towards the nation of the White Heart goddess. "Just prepare yourself for the inevitable, we're gonna win anyways."

Leanbox

Meanwhile at Leanbox, there was Nepgear who was calming down after her long explanation to Vert about the evil outcast that was trying to kill her and her big sister. "So...that's how I ended up here."

Vert simply looked at her after that talk, "Oh my dear Nepgear, please relax I'm sure Neptune was able to destroy that savage machine" Vert began hugging Nepgear trying to calm her down after her ordeal.

Nepgear's breathing had reached to a calm level, she kept Vert's arms around her as she did, then suddenly there was a buzz from her pocket. The CPU candidate answered her ringing phone, "H-hello?"

"Nepgear? Are you okay?" Neptune was on the other line.

"I could ask the same of you, did you defeat that robot?"

"Yep! Me, Noire, Uni and this Specter guy were able to deal with it no problem."

"Wait...who is Specter?"

"Some guy from another universe who wants to help us to make sure we don't die at the hands of an evil overlord who wants to rule the multiverse...and she's probably gonna send more of those Promethean soldiers at us."

Nepgear looked distressed at that line, "so we're going to be dealing with those robots in the near future."

"Yeah...I would say something good, but I don't think it's the right time for that." Not even a nervous chuckle came out of that girl.

Vert, who has been casted off for a few seconds asked, "What's going on? Is Neptune okay?"

"Yes, she's alright...but we might have a problem on our hands." Nepgear simply said to the Leanbox CPU, her body was still shaking from the news.

"What do you mean?" Vert questioned

"We're now up against someone who wants to kill us."
