Excel's POV

My name is Excel, the CPU candidate of a place called Leanbox. I am one of a kind, the only male CPU, the younger broth of Vert AKA Green Heart. I kinda just do my own thing, hang around the Basilicom all day, messing around on my lap top and listening to music. I usually just sit around in my green sweatshirt, black slacks and big headphones.

"Listen up!" someone yelled yanking my headphones off my head.

"Owww jeez, what the hell Vert."

"You should get out of your room more." Vert said "You're so pale…you could use a little sun."

"Says the girl who sits around playing games all day. What'd you want Vert?"

"I can't say hello to my younger brother."

"This better not be another one of those you wanna dress me up like a girl things again." I grumbled "If I wake up in a dress and a wig again I swear…"

"I wouldn't have to try if you had been born a girl."

"Are you trying to piss me off?!" I yelled.

"I wonder why you are male and all the others were female, how strange." Vert mumbled "Maybe Blanc will trade me her sisters for you?"

I've never actually met any of the other Goddesses or Candidates, Vert never takes me with her…is she…ashamed of me?

"I'm not some doll you can treat like a toy."

"Hmhm." Vert laughed to herself and put her arm around my shoulder "I'm only joking, don't get so bent out of shape."

"I love you, little brother…"

"Love you to big sis."

Vert hugged me, smashing my face into her chest.

"Sis…can't…breath…you're smothering me…"

Three years later.

It's been a long time since I saw my sister, I miss her. Her and the other goddesses went off and never came back…I don't know, if she'll ever be back. While she's been gone a group called ASIC has been spreading across my nation, and there's nothing I can do about. The people, they don't trust some guy like me, they want a goddesses like Vert, not some guy like me.

I was standing in the main hall looking at a large picture of my sister.

"I'm sure she is fine." Chika, our nations oracle, told me "I mean…it's Vert."

"She'll be real busy when she gets back. Her backlog will be through the roof." I laughed.

"Yes…" Chika sighed.

I grabbed my bag and started for the door.

"Sir where are you going?" Chika asked me.

"Out for a while." I said closing the door "I'll see you later."

I headed down the street of town, no one even looked at me, and I tend to blend in. I put my headphones on, turned up the music and headed to a local café. The food sucked but at least it got me out of my room. Browsed my laptop, checked various sites and news articles. I saw story about how there were some problems with the boats coming in from Lastation.

I'll make sure Chika looks into that and sees nothing is wrong.

I have no idea how to run a country, so I let Chika do most of the work. When I was done on my laptop I closed it and checked the clock, I had gotten lost in thought and let a lot of time pass. I gathered my things and headed home.

"Night Chika." I said walking passed the girl.

"Huh…Oh yeah night."

I stopped walking "You feeling alright Chika?"

"I'm fine!" she said quickly.

She must be stressed out.

"Maybe you should take tomorrow off." I said "Well good night."

A few days later.

Nepgear's POV

We were investigating the odd actions of the Leanbox Oracle, Chika, she was acting strange and we had asked Uni to help us look into it. We had confronted the girl but she only seemed to act strange and stranger. We also wanted to see if she knew anything about Leanbox candidate, I had only heard rumors about the girl.

"Chika, who are all these people."

I turned around and looked back at the stairs at the top was a bot, probably close to my age, maybe a year or two older if I had to guess. He had shaggy blonde hair, was wearing a sweatshirt and some slacks, and had a pair of bright green headphones around his neck.

He was…really handsome.

"What are you two zoning out for, stay focused." IF said bopping Uni and I on the head.

"Sorry…" I mumbled.

"Yeah sure…"

"IF who is that boy?" I asked.

"I don't know."

"I could ask all of you the same." He said "May I ask why you are harassing the oracle?"

"We were just…" I mumbled.

"She's not really the oracle." Uni said "She's an impostor."

The boy looked at her "Yes…I realized that when she in acted that foolish policy allowing worship of Arfoire. How stupid do you think I am?!"

The underling reviled herself and ran off.

"Wait!" I yelled "Where is the real Chika, and where is the candidate!"

"We should chase after her." Cave told the others "She might know where Chika is."

"Will you come help us." I asked the boy at the top of the stairs "We're going to rescue Chika and the candidate."

"No you're not." He said.

"Huh?"

"You'll only be saving Chika." He said.

"But the Candidate-"

"Maybe it's true what they say." Compa mumbled "Maybe she's just a legend."

"Haha…" Cave let out a very quiet giggle "I'm afraid you ladies are mistaken."

"It's not a she…" the boy said "It's a he…more specifically me. I am Excel, CPU Candidate of Leanbox."

"Wait you mean…"

"The Candidate from Leanbox is…"

"A GUY?!"

Excel's POV

"A GUY?!"

"Last time I checked I was still male." I said "Why did you think I was a girl?"

"That's just what I always heard." The black haired girl said.

"My sister told me the same." A girl with pink hair said.

I trotted down the stairs to meet the group.

"Most likely my sister spreading rumors again…probably embarrassed that she has a brother not a sister…" I sighed "Who are all of you?"

"I'm Nepgear." The pink haired girl said "I'm the Candidate from Planeptune. This is IF, that's Compa, and that's Red."

"I can't make him my wife…"

"I'm Uni." The black haired girl said rubbing her shoes on the floor and not looking at me "I'm the candidate from Lastation."

"Two of the other candidates have come to me…" I mumbled "Do you…"

"We're looking for help to save our sisters." Nepgear said "Will you help me?"

"No." I said "I can't…most likely I would have to transform, and I prefer not have to do that."

"What...but-?" Nepgear whimpered.

"Right now I have bigger things to deal with I am going after that girl. Chika is likely with her and she needs my help."

I walked over to the closet and picked up my weapon of choice, a trident.

"If you're going to the same place we can work together, for a time." I said.

Nepgear's POV

I wish that Excel would be more committed to helping us…I don't know why but being around him makes me happy.

Uni's POV

What is this…why does my face feel so warm…this guy…is a CPU candidate like me…he makes me feel all…weird.

Excel's POV

Don't worry Chika just hold on….I'm coming to save you.

We followed that underling to a distance tunnel cave where she dumped a horde or dogoos on us. Repulsive and disgusting little beasts wasted no time trying to attack the girls with me.

"Stop it…don't touch me there."

"Naughty thing get off!"

"It's all slimy…"

They seem more interested in the girls then me…I guess being a guy ain't so bad…

I spun my trident around.

"Trifold Stinger!"

I thrusted the weapon forward and blew some dogoos away.

"Trinity Spike!"

I blew a few more away. I spun my trident around and slashed away the last of the monsters.

"Thanks…" Nepgear smiled "Sorry you had to see me like that."

"Yes…not your most ladylike moment I take it?"

"No…" she mumbled.

"Let's get moving…after that girl!"

We headed deeper into the dungeon, boy it was hot in there, not a good place to wear a sweatshirt like the one I had on. Along the way we took down some monster, Nepgear was pretty skilled in combat, rough around the edges but plenty of raw potential.

"Take this!" Nepgear swung her sword and cut at the large fire wolf.

"Watch it!" I said blocking the side swipe from the dog.

I spun my trident around and stabbed forward "Impale!"

I dug the tips of my weapon into the wolf before lifting in up and slamming it down.

"Thanks." Nepgear panted catching her breath "I didn't think the reach would be so far."

"Fenrir class wolves are surprisingly flexible." I said "It was no trouble."

"Over here!" Cave called "I found her."

We headed over and sure enough Chika was there, all tired and dirty.

"Haa…is this the end." She moaned "I see a white light…is that you Vert?"

"Ahh no don't die!" Nepgear yelled "Other way! Go away from the light!"

"It's fine." I said patting her on the shoulder "This is Chika's greatest power…the ability to Bullshit anything."

"Sir!" she yelled "I assure you I do not jest…*HACK COUGH!* I really am dying here."

"Talk about commitment…" IF mumbled.

"Chika this is just sad…" Cave sighed.

"Don't be such a party pooper!" Chika glared "If I can't see Vert before I die…It will be so painful."

"Well if she's gonna die anyway let's just leave her hear to return to being one with nature, dust to dust and all that." I said walking away.

"Wait for me!" Chika said running after her.

"Wow…she broke character really quickly." Nepgear observed.

"Let's head back to the Basilicom." I said "I don't need Chika to actually die; the people hate me enough as is…"

"You say something?" Nepgear asked.

"Nothing…"

Later.

"Ahh much better…" Chika sighed putting her feet up "I feel whole again."

"So then." I said calling attention to myself "Now that we've all been formally introduced, why did you come to Leanbox in the first place?" I asked.

"Like I said before I want to save our sisters."

"So my darling Vert's still alive!"" Chika yelled "Hallelujah!"

"Calm down." I mumbled "well then I can't be of much help as I said earlier I can't help you."

"Well maybe you still can." Nepgear said "I'm looking for the Leanbox Mascot, do you know where it is."

"I do." Chika said "Or I did…"

"What'd you mean did?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"It kinda….got kidnapped with me." She mumbled.

"Not knowing where it is isn't a big deal." IF said.

"But…we need its location to get its help." Compa responded.

"Let's just find Underling and beat the leads to the location out of her."

"You girls are surprisingly violent." I mumbled.

"Good idea!" Nepgear said "But we don't know where Underling is."

"Leave locating her to me, I will search all night if I must." Cave said walking off "I will message as soon as I obtain her whereabouts."

"Well why you wait I'll at least let you stay here." I said pushing my chair in and placing my headphones on "Chika I'm going upstairs, please accommodate our new guests."

"Of course sir, right this way ladies."

I headed up stairs to my room and sat out on the balcony, music blasting in my headphones.

"You're…still okay…" I smiled biting my lip trying not to cry "Please Vert…just hold on a little longer…I don't care if you're embarrassed by me, or ashamed…I will save you…so just wait a little longer and I'll be there."

I felt someone tapping my shoulder; I looked over and saw Nepgear was there.

"How'd you get in my room?" I asked sliding the headphone off.

"I got the doors confused, then I saw you standing here…is everything alright you look upset."

"Yeah I'm fine." I said.

Nepgear looked up "The stars sure are pretty tonight."

"Yeah."

There was a weird…twinkle in Nepgear's eye…it made me smile.

"So you were there to, the Gamindustri Graveyard?" I asked.

"Yes…" Nepgear said looking down "For three years…"

"Sorry I shouldn't have said anything." I mumbled walking off the balcony and back into the room.

"Hey can I ask you something?" the girl said.

"Hmm?"

"How come you said you don't like to transform?"

I chuckled to myself "Let's just say I don't like my attitude when I transform, I've heard that Neptune gets super serious in her Goddess form, and Blanc gets really angry. Mine's kinda like that, but different."

"So your personality changes?"

"Yep." I said pulling the zipper on my sweatshirt and throwing it off, quickly starting to discard my shirt too.

I was a pretty muscular guy, tone but not ripped.

"Wah-What are you doing?!" Nepgear said covering her eyes and blushing like a made person.

"Getting changed for bed, so beat it." I said.

The poor girl went running out of the room and I laughed to myself.

"I like her, she's funny."

Nepgear's POV

"Ha…ha…ha…" I panted my back against the door to Excel's room.

I can't believe I just saw him shirtless…What is this…my heart…won't stop pounding…

"Oh there you are Ge-Ge." Compa said walking up "What's the matter."

"Nothing!" I yelled.

"Are you sick, you look awfully red…?"

"I'm fine…just tired." I said walking off.

Deep breaths…I feel like my chest is gonna explode…what's going on…

AN

Thank you for reading. Feedback is appreciated. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns.

A quick overview, this story starts during mk2 (I'm playing Rebirth 2 so expect it too linked more with that.)

It stars an OC (If you got this far you probably figured that much out.). I know that the Sisters are based on the handhelds but I always felt bad that Vert didn't get a sibling so I just slotted him in there. And I made him a guy cause I'm a guy and I'm projecting onto my character, that and the story is full of girls one dude can't hurt.

This story is also an OC X Nepgear X Uni love triangle.

At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to an OC story for Neptunia but I figured screw it why not.

Till Next Time!
