DarkCaligo: you thought you saw the last of me? You wish.

Neptune

Welcome back guys, or rather, hello to some if you're reading this and haven't read the first part of Heartbreak I suggest you do that first, otherwise some of the stuff won't make sense.

Anyways, it's everyone's favorite goddess Neptune…..well not a goddess at the moment….. but uhm reason for that is…..well let me do some explaining first..

It has been 7 years since I last saw Digit….last thing I remembered is that he was going to go fight Arkan. I heard he won but I hadn't seen him. Nepgear had talked about meeting a woman named Magna but she didn't , or wasn't able to tell me much about her. She did say that Digit passed away upon resetting the world, but I don't think he'd be gotten rid of that easily….I know he'll come back.

But uh….

So right, seven years….. since the rebirth of the world, the world has taken a different approach on goddesses. I'll explain the process, which was confusing to me at first but now it makes sense now that I am thinking it over now.

So people are allowed to run for the position of CPU of a nation by announcing their intent of running publicly. They gain support by swaying the public in their favor, by telling their sides on issues and what they'll do for the sake of Planeptune. We have a six month period to run politically, afterwards, there's a second phase we must go through, by we I mean the top ten from the political side of the process. They hadn't released any info on part II of the process. Since some people were revived by the reset, there were some who felt I wasn't a good CPU. That's really what stemmed this. They have the same thing going on in the other countries as well.

So yeah, that's why I am not a goddess at the moment.

Right now I'm human, and living with my sisters.

Yes, I said sisters.

I currently live in the suburbs of Planeptune with my sister Nepgear, and our baby sister Nepera. Interestingly enough, I didn't recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. Currently I'm wearing a white shirt with black pants. I have long black hair and eyes, I have a purple hairband in my hair. Yeah right I don't look like myself. Nepgear has the same hair and eye color I do, just she has a white flower in her hair, she wears a black vest over a purple shirt with a black skirt. Nepera has long black hair like I do and the same eyes. She's kinda small, though she is kinda young. She wears a black sailor uniform with purple lining, I know she sounds like Nepgear with that outfit.

Also since The Renewal Gamindustri has had a terrain change. Planeptune is closer to the ocean than it was before. There's also a mountain range to the northeast that separates us from Lowee and Lastation. Leanbox is to the south of us still,and it's still an island but it's considerably bigger. It seems like there's a lot of woodland areas in Leanbox. Lastation has a lot of plain areas, you know like praries. But since the natural barrier we have is there they do have a few plateaus and mountain areas. Lowee is still a place where it's like winter year round, though there's a lot more forests now. And Lowee is built into a mountain.

Also all around Gamindustri, Digit has been regarded as a Hero. Those who were alive during The Renewal have recorded in history books what they have experienced over those five years. Noire,Blanc and I gave them info on Digit, who he was as a person, his hope and dreams etc. It's not strange to find a statue of him in a city.

….

"Hey sis, are you going to announce your running for Goddess today?" Nepgear asked as she put a bowl of cereal in front of Nepera. We were all in our pajamas, which as funny as it sounds, we all had matching lilac pajamas…it was 'Pera's idea.

Anyways so I had just come downstairs, and yea I was thinking about running for the position of Goddess. Just because people didn't think I wasn't a good CPU isn't going to stop me from trying to regain my position. It's not easy however, I already know that some of the other candidates will be slinging mud at me, figuratively of course. I want to be able to greet Digit as the CPU of my nation, not as a human. On top of that I want only the best living conditions for my sisters…..and…..I realize I had taken a position that people coveted so much for granted. I mean yeah I had good relations with the citizens somewhat, but….. Planeptune should have had a bigger lead in advancements than any other nation. We barely stayed ahead of Lastation. But anyways, that's my goal, for the next six months I'm going to be working on campaigning for my old position.

"Of course, nothing's going to stop me either." I said, clenching a fist in determination."Planeptune will fall in love with me once they see who I am now.

"Neptune is the only one that could be a CPU, no one else can!" Nepera said. Nepgear and I laughed.

"Thanks 'Pera." I said as I got some cereal myself.

"So Neptune, where are you heading today?" Nepgear asked.

"Well today is the last day to register so I'm heading downtown to register for the campaign."

"I wonder how the others are doing…..I heard that Lastation just finished their phase one of Goddess selection."

"Really?" I asked. Nepgear brought out the N-Gear and it showed a screen with the top 10 candidates. Noire was in 3rd place, which I found unusual, but she was still ranked high. She had a 20,000 vote rating while the 2nd and 1st place had ratings of 22,000 and 24,000 respectively.

"Surprising huh?"

"Yeah, I wonder why Noire is in 3rd place,"

"I heard there's been a lot of dishonest dealings in Lastation's elections."

"I see, how many initially entered the election?" Nepgear did some fiddling with her N-Gear for a few minutes and she gasped. "What?"

"No way…..30 entered the election….."

"and only ten made it? Jeez…..they're not joking…."

"Neptune!"

"I know, I can't afford to mess up here. Besides I bet Vert is CPU by now. Blanc is probably wrapping things up in Lowee, so I can't struggle too much."

"Neptune, even though the odds will be against you, please promise me that you won't do anything underhanded in this election alright?"

"Of course I won't, I'll show them that I'm in a class all of my own."

"I think they already think that…."

"Nep for CPU! Nep for CPU!" Nepera cheered.

"That should be my first piece of propaganda!" I laughed. Nepgear laughed as well and Nepera's eyes lit up.

"I'll go make it!" Nepera finished her cereal and left to go to the room where our desktop was.

"Well while she does that, I'm going to go register."

"I should go shopping for campaign materials."

"But don't you have school tomorrow? Shouldn't you be getting ready for that?"

"It's fine it's fine. I did my school shopping weeks ago, so I'm fine."

"Alright well, thanks Nepgear."

"No problem."

"Neptune…" Nepera said as she held her arms up and I picked her up.

"Oof, you're getting too big for me to pick you up you know."

"Neptune when will you be back?"

"It shouldn't be too long. I'll be in and out before you know it."

" 'Kay," I then set her down and pecked her forehead. I headed upstairs to change into a black and purple hoodie with black leggings. I put on black D-clips and walked out the door.

….

I stepped out of the bus and found myself in the downtown square of Planeptune. Various merchant stands took up the sidewalks and there was a giant fountain with a iconic 'N' on it. Geez you might as well say that the nation is somewhat in love with me still….but it's not going to be easy trying to win this election. I wandered around the square until I found myself in front of a giant skyscraper that was purple and white. The windows were a blue color though. So yea I was looking up at the basilicom. But it looked nicer than what I remembered. I walked inside and in the lobby was a woman with brunette hair tied into a braid and she had brown eyes. She was wearing a black suit.

"Hey, do you work here?" I asked her, tapping her on the shoulder.

"Huh?" She looked at me. "Oh, yes, how may I help you?" I looked at her nametag and on it, written in fancy letters was the name 'Concierge'

"I need to register for the election,"

"Oh, well in that case follow me." She walked towards a reception desk and I followed her to it. She had handed me some papers, which as much as I wanted to just skim through them and sign, I felt like I should read through them. Give me a minute.

…

Snrrrk….

"…..am."

Zzzzz

Snrrrk….

"…..am…"

Snrrrr…..

"Ma'am!"

I jumped as I woke up.

"Wha?" I said, wiping the drool from my mouth.

" Ma'am you fell asleep while reading the documents." I laughed in embarassment.

"I got the gist of it though, where do I need to sign?" She pointed towards where I needed to sign, and I signed and initialed the spaces. She reviewed the papers and she was shocked.

"Y-you're…..Neptune!?"

"Ahaha….yeah, bet you didn't recognize me."

"The black hair and eyes are….different."

"This isn't my choice ya know!"

"Sorry sorry."

"Anyways am I set?"

"You're set," She said. I stretched and headed for the door.

"By the way," I turned around and pointed at her. "Next time I walk in here I'll be the your boss!"

"Oh really?"

"Yep!" With that I headed out the door. I was back in the square. It was dark outside, and I saw people gathering around the fountain. I was wondering what was going on, I mean people around the fountain at a time like this had to be weird right? I got my answer when I found someone standing above the crowd behind a podium.

"My fellow Planeptunians, it has come to my attention that our former CPU Neptune has put herself in the election. I promise that I'll do whatever it takes to ensure that she does not come into office again." It was a woman with silver hair speaking. She wore a white blazer with purple trim and she had purple glasses on. The crowd cheered and she looked at me, I shivered as I felt her eyes on me…it was like she was stabbing me with her eyes. "I, Violet will not allow such a irresponsible CPU to rule Planeptune." The crowd chanted her name and she smirked, still focusing on me.

"So right from the get go huh? Ehehehe…" I laughed as I quietly left for home.

This…..is gonna be an uphill battle isn't it?

Noire

I plopped down on my bed, exhausted. My campaign team had been able to secure me a condo in downtown Lastation. I was currently living there with my little sister Uni. I rolled over and looked at the plush next to me. It was a stuffed tiger I called Garron, he was a Bengal tiger with a blue bow on it. Next to it was a plush of Digit.

Digit…..

The one I loved, he was the one who freed me from et a cage I was put in.

The cage I let myself be put in….

I hadn't seen him in seven years….

I'm ready to wait however long it takes for him to return….

I was sure to return to my position as CPU, for him. I know that before I let my sister take control but….I'll make Lastation shine once more.

Maybe then….

Maybe then he'll return.

I sighed and pulled out the ribbons in my hair. I let my long brown hair fall to the sides, currently I had brown hair and pink eyes. I didn't feel like I was myself when I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt like I was just watching someone live my life. I'm hoping when I become a CPU again that I can return to my old appearance.

"Noire, I'm back," I heard my sister say. She walked into my room, already knowing I was in my pajamas.

"Welcome back…." I said, yawning.

"How was today?"

"Well they told me and the other candidates that phase II has to be postponed until Planeptune finishes their elections."

"Planeptune? Wait, they haven't finished their elections yet?"

"They are about to start theirs."

"Wow…."

"Right? I'm wondering why they have to wait on Planeptune to start phase II?"

"Who knows, maybe there is supposed to be cooperation between the four nations for phase II?"

"But isn't there another nation that was just founded? What's it called, Edonia I think?"

"I hear they're selecting their CPU differently. Also sis, how are they going to make a human a CPU?"

"I heard something about a Sharicite being used. But as of right now no one has been made a CPU, so only a few people know about how they'll do it."

"Ah…. Well since we have to wait on Planeptune, how about we go visit Neptune and Nepgear?"

"You're saying to go help them with Neptune's campaign?"

"Well, it's not like I want to visit Nepgear or anything, I just haven't been to Planeptune since The Renewal, so…"

"I see, well it would be a little difficult to get there considering the mountain range that divides us from them. It's not impossible, but the way the mountain is, well it'd take a few days on a train I think."

"A few days?"

"I heard that it wasn't easy to make the railroad that runs through there, I heard there's a lot of turns."

"I probably will end up having to get a doggie bag won't I?"

"I don't think the turns are that bad to be honest, but it wouldn't hurt to come with some just in case."

"So, when will we be leaving for Planeptune?"

"Well how about we spend tomorrow shopping and then afterwards we can go and buy our train tickets."

"We don't have to order them in advance?"

"Nope, since I'm a candidate I can buy some tickets on the spot."

"Oh cool, so we'll head out tomorrow?"

"Yep, so you should pack, now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go sleep."

"Alright, well I got to finish some homework. See ya."

" 'Night." With that I put my head on my pillow and fell asleep.

Blanc

Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak!

"…."

Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak!

"….."

"Lady Blanc, I brought some tea."

"Thank you Mina, it's good to see you're still choosing to support me…"

"I enjoy working for you Lady Blanc, even though you are not a CPU at the moment, I'll still regard you as such."

"Thank you."

"Also, it has gotten rather quiet around here don't you think?"

"Yes, it has. I kind of miss those twos antics."

My name is Blanc and I live, well I lived with my younger sisters Rom and Ram. When Lowee was re-established, they also re-established Koopwurth's school of magic and well, Rom and Ram applied and were accepted. I was happy for them, because I was accepting the fact that they don't exactly need me to protect them anymore. Though I have to say I miss their antics, but at least this way I can do some writing. Also,

I've grown.

I'm not sure why but I'm sure that The Renewal had changed me physically. Because looking at my chest….it's gotten bigger. I'm still smaller than Noire, but I still have something, which is definitely more than Neptune's human form. I have long blonde hair and green eyes, I let my hair grow out because well…. My hat looks good with long hair. I am wearing a big white and blue winter coat with a white and blue muffin hat.

"Lady Blanc,"

"Yes?"

"if you'll excuse me I'll be taking my leave now."

"Alright, thanks Mina."

"No problem," I returned to working on my novel, then after a few sentences I stopped. For some reason I started thinking of Digit. I remember the last time I saw him, seven years ago.

"Bet you like me too huh?"

"Like hell I do!"

"Aw, that's a shame, I always found you cute."

I stopped typing.

You jerk…. You went ahead and called me cute….then disappear on me….

Yet,

Somehow, I wasn't entirely mad at him.

I guess it was because Digit left doing something like saving the world, while Arkan did it by choice.

In fact… I was proud to know him.

He was proably the strongest person I've ever met.

I put my hand over my chest.

He freed me… by taking those hits even though he knew it could kill him.

Yet,

He still wanted to help me.

No matter how hard the hit,

He took it at full force.

I felt a tear fall and I wiped my eye

Digit…..

I went back to writing, now having a new idea of what to write.

Vert

"I see….." I said as I read a book. I was currently in unfamiliar territory; the library.

Ever since the Renewal I had been curious as to who Digit was. Obviously the better choice would be to ask him myself, but I didn't have the option available. What I had learned is that he was born in Planeptune, and that he has a younger brother. The two had to learn to fend for themselves at a young age, as their parents died in a tragic accident. I tried looking for the details of this accident, but it seemed like any information relating to it wasn't available. Maybe the government had something to do with it and they were covering it up? Seems like that's the only thing I can think of at the moment. But anyways, I learned that him and his brother had worked to fend for themselves at a young age, Digit being six at the time and his younger brother being two. Of course since Digit was the only one able to read or speak, he had to take care of the bulk of the work until he was ten years old. His younger brother Ichi had started working at six years old. They worked odd jobs around Planeptune on a daily basis, so….this means that Digit didn't have a regular childhood? I mean it seems like where kids spent their time playing Digit had to work. I also learned that he was thirteen when The Baptism happened.

The Baptism….

A day when Gamindustri started to decay…..

The day where darkness flooded the cities and changed the inhabitants of Gamindustri forever…..

The four goddesses were turned into mere pawns for the Demon Lord Arkan.

I remember his influence well, I had been fed the image of him being a gentle soul who wouldn't cause harm to others.

When in fact he was the opposite.

Digit, while he wasn't a completely gentle person, I could tell that he only used force because it was the only way to get the message across. I could tell considering how Blanc was after meeting him.

Honestly, seeing this…

I think I'm starting to fall in love with him…

He struggled so much to change his home….and he struggled throughout the whole ordeal…. No matter how bleak it seemed… no matter how badly he got beaten…

He kept moving forward…

….I can't believe…

How dumb I was…

I put my hands in my reddish-brown hair and ran my fingers through them.

I can't believe this…

And to think I stood against him when he was trying to change the world…

I feel like a fool.

I heard the door open and a girl in a short green dress walked in. She had long reddish-brown hair, and blue eyes. She had some of her hair braided back and it was held together by a bow. She had seafoam green sleeve-like gloves on and she was carrying a tray with two cups of tea and some cookies. She sat down at the table in the chair next to me.

"I brought some more cookies and tea." She said as she leaned on me.I smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Thank you Ein," I said as I took a bite of a cookie.

"What are you reading?"

"Biographies on Digit, pretty interesting."

"Oh? Isn't he the guy who saved Gamindustri?"

"Mhm, to be honest if he didn't defeat Arkan, we would not be here."

"Wow,"

"Indeed, though….I feel bad for what I did as Venom Heart…why did I even join the race?"

"But sis you're currently the top candidate in the top ten! They'll be doing phase II once Planeptune gets done with their election."

"Still…"

"I think that you should be the CPU, besides I'm sure Digit will forgive you if you ask him to,"

"Why do you say that?"

"He's a hero, heroes always have big hearts."

"….." I was speechless. My younger sister reads too much manga….but to be honest…

It would make sense…

I mean he did seem like the type to have a big heart, especially from who I think he is from these biographies.

"Ein, Vert, where are you?" I heard Chika say. She walked into view a few minutes later. She had her light green hair down and she was wearing her usual black and green dress."Oh, there you two are."

"Hi Chika," Ein said, waving.

"Hello Ein," Chika said as she sat down by us. "Vert what are you reading?"

"Just a little something on Digit."

"I see….well Ein, how was school?" Chika seemed kind of unsettled by my statement but I shook it off.

"Ehehehe…..I don't go to school…." Ein laughed while fidgeting.

"What!? Vert why doesn't your darling younger sister attend school!?"

"Huh? We don't have any schools in Leanbox that she can attend, remember most of our schools are trade schools."

"I guess you have a point but-"

"I already sent an application in for a high school at Planeptune, I heard that Nepgear goes there so it'll be good for her to go somewhere where I at least know someone."

"I see, here I was thinking you completely ignored her need of an education."

"Oh sis by the way I got an acceptance letter the other day," I looked at Chika, who looked at me, and we blinked , then looked at Ein. The mentioned girl merely smiled.

"I should get our bags," Chika said.

"That you should." I said. Well, if I'm going to Planeptune I guess that means I should visit Neptune, which I'm curious to see how the past seven years have treated her.

Magna

A boy with dark skin and black hair that went down to his upper torso was floating in a sphere in front of me. I was currently sitting in my chair, a holographic console was in front of me. On it showed the vital stats of the boy, and his name.

Digit

I had to build a body for him considering his body was lost in the fight with Arkan. The body was exactly the same as his old one, except for the fact that his hair was longer. I had a body ready for him, but the problem that I was encountering now was the fact that the body needed a soul. I knew where I needed to go, but I still had to figure out where to find him.

As for where he is I know that he's in the Gamindustri Graveyard.

But as for how to find him in there,

I do not know.

All I know is that, he deserves a second chance at life. Considering who….what he is.

Doo Doo Doo! Doo Doo Doo! Doo!

DigiStation

DarkCaligo: We're back guys! And wow I wrote a Prologue, so not really much has happened, we have been introduced to three characters, Concierge, Nepera, and Ein. A little fact on Ein is that how Vert is based off the Xbox, Ein, who's name is derived from Einss, which is german for one, is based off the Xbox One. This does not mean that she will replace Vert, but after seeing a scene in VII I kinda was inspired to make Ein. And funny thing is that Nepera's idea comes from a special type of controller I kinda imagined for the SEGA Neptune. Concierge, well I imagine her to be related to Financier in some way. Anyways, I have college so I'll try and update when I can, but I don't think I can give a schedule on updates or anything. Some of you guys will probably be wondering what happened to Digit, well, that'll be revealed later. I also put a democratic way on selecting CPUs because I felt in a reborn world there would be resistance to those who were in power initially coming back to power. And I feel like the CPUs should struggle to reassert themselves back into society. While it may not be apparent right now, Arkan's influence has left a scar on this world, a taint if you will. I usually don't have giant author's notes like this, but hey some of this stuff I just wanted to say.
