Level 1 - Prologue

Rouge's POV

Monologue

This is the Hyper Dimension. In this dimension is a world known as Gamindustri. Gamindustri is composed of four nations, ruled by four goddesses called "CPUs". CPU Purple Heart rules over Planeptune, "The Land of Purple Progress". CPU Black Heart rules over Lastation, "The Land of Black Regality". CPU White Heart rules over Lowee, "The Land of White Serenity". And CPU Green Heart rules over Leanbox, "The Land of Green Pastures". Wait... How could I forget? There's a fifth nation now. It is known as Aurora, "The Land of Red Restoration", where residents can throw away their pasts and pursue a new life. It is also a brand new nation in Gamindustri. Well...it was new. It is ruled by the beautiful, empathetic, and talented, Red Heart...okay you got me, I'm Red Heart. I, along with its CPU Candidate, Nessui, rule over this nation. Seven years ago, none of the CPUs were allies and it was up to me to bring them back together to take on a CPU from the past, Ciel. I also found out I had some power that allowed me to pass down a substance similar to Share Energy via sexual intercourse which...isn't bad at all. I formed bonds with the CPUs that I hope can go past friendship and I found out that I'm not from the dimension I reside in, which is freaky as hell. I found out Ciel was my older sister and that she killed off all the CPUs from the Vast Dimension, AKA where I'm from. Eventually, we beat her for good, although I wonder constantly if there might have been another way to defeat her without killing her. Anyways, Gamindustri's been at peace since then and we've lived life in pure bliss. The world lacked major conflict and we haven't had to fight in a while, which is a good thing I suppose.

Until...

Present Day

The four enemy CPUs surrounding me from all angles. Remaining relaxed, I wait for either one of them to make the first move. It seems that I'm their target for a reason beyond my knowledge. Could it be because I am a potential threat to their nations? Could it be because I can no longer be trusted?

"We won't let you have your freakin' way!" White Heart shouts.

"I hope you can entertain me a little bit at least," Black Heart prepares herself.

"I'm sorry things had to end this way, Rouge," Purple Heart says.

"You should feel honored... to be able to face me!" Green Heart says.

They all summon their respective weapons. I follow along and my Chainblade materializes in the palm of my hand.

"Once I exterminate you four, I will finally rule over Gamindustri!" I grin confidently.

Purple Heart dashes towards me and attempts to slash me with her sword. I easily dodge the blade and I kick it out of my direction. She raises her sword and brings it down. Just in time, I push a button on my Chainblade and it extends, colliding with Purple Heart's sword. Placing my hand over her face, I push her out of my way quickly. White Heart comes next and she tries to end me with her Plasma Ax. I leap into the air, avoiding the blade by a landslide.

"Slow as ever, Blanc," I snicker. My Chainblade extends and White Heart is actually able to avoid it. She places her ax in front of her and it absorbs the blow. I press another button and the blade pulls me towards White Heart like a grappling hook. She aims to cut me in two but I disappear before she can hit me.

"Where did she-!"

"Over here~" I land on White Heart's ax, she tries to knock me off. I land in front of her and she grits her teeth in anger. The goddess raises her ax above her head and slams it into the ground, causing a massive shockwave. Leaping off the ground, I kick her out of the way and then I'm met with Black Heart.

"Not good...!"

Crap, Red Heart's motherly attitude makes her a weak opponent when it comes to finishing off others...!

Black Heart swings her sword and I'm knocked back. An overwhelming amount of pain causes me to drop to my knees and howl. Green Heart hurriedly flies towards me and strives to pound me into the ground with her Plasma Drill Lance. I roll out of the way and to my dismay, Green Heart keeps up with me. I dodge her onslaught of lance attacks.

"Is this the best you can do Vert? Put that body to work and try harder!"

Black, Purple, and White Heart fly towards me and they strike me in the gut with their weapons.

Dammit! I should've kept an eye on those three!

I fall back and Green Heart delivers the final blow to my stomach. I'm consumed by a white light which soon explodes and damages my everything greatly. I roll onto the ground and I clench my body in agony.

"It is high time you receive your punishment, Red He- No... Rouge!"

"It...took you long enough. To think the four of you would have to work together to take me down. It just shows how soft you're getting, eh?"

"You're mistaken. We're only lowering the head count," Black Heart flips her hair.

White Heart nods, "It'd be a pain if you were the last one standing, considering your usual idiotic 'antics'. It only makes sense to take you down first!"

"If only I hadn't been so selfish... Then Nessui would be here with me...by my side..."

"A bit late for regrets now. Get ready to die!" White Heart raises her ax.

"This is goodbye. I'll end you!" Purple Heart raises her Sword.

"Please rest assured, Rouge. We won't torture you. Expect a swift and clean death." Green Heart raises her Lance.

"Leave the finishing blow for me!" Black Heart grins devilishly as she draws her sword.

All four of them dash towards me and prepare to assault me with their weapons. I prepare for my fate and I grimly begin to close my eyes. That is when I realize that I can't afford to die here. I am the one who powers all of the CPUs and if I'm killed here, what will that prove?

"I won't die here!"

With a sudden burst of energy, I get to my feet. I swiftly take down White Heart, then Black Heart, then Green Heart and finally Purple Heart. The destructive attacks create an explosion, weakening the CPUs and reverting them to their human forms. Once the dust clouds disperse, I descend from the sky and look down at the four weakened CPUs with a look of disgust on my face.

"You should have never challenged me." I softly say to them.

Turning my back on them, I walk away.

"Present" Present Day

Music declaring my victory booms from the TV. I grin as I am overflowing with happiness from beating the four CPUs.

"Whaaaaat?! She beat all four of us?" Neptune wines.

"Of course I did. People who team in fighting games never win. Besides, teaming's for pussies." I spin the controller on my finger, almost dropping it.

Vert grins, "Do you believe in the saying 'All's fair in love and war'? Either way, next round, I will surely win."

Noire scoffs, "Get real. None of you have the slightest chance of beating me if we free-for-all."

I scoff back, "If you couldn't beat me together, what makes you think you can beat me alone? Idiots."

Blanc's tapping on the buttons intensifies, "How rude. If we had a different target, I'm sure you'd be teaming along with everyone else. Besides, we all have the same goal in mind."

Neptune laughs, "Yup! We're all going to help Neptune win this game!"

"Wrong! You're going down next, Neptune," Noire chuckles.

"Whatever. I'm gonna whoop your butts next round anyway..." I murmur.

"What?! That's not cool, Rougey! I was here first and then you took my controller away!" Nessui pouts.

"I'd like to play too..." Nepgear says.

"What gives, you said we could play next round." Ram grunts.

I turn to the restless Candidates and smile, "OK, you can play next, next round."

"Rouge~! Better hurry up before we start without you~!" Neptune smirks.

"Oh crap! Gotta g-"

"ROUGE!"

Uh oh. The tone of her voice is all too familiar. I wonder what I could have done this time. The other goddesses grow silent and I join in, pretending as if we're not even in the Basilicom.

Seconds later, Savoire floats into the room we are occupying and screams my name once again. She catches all of us by surprise and we utter a group yelp. It must be my imagination, but it seems like steam is coming out of her ears.

"There you are! Gr! I told you countless times to do that stack of paperwork on the table this morning!"

"B-But I had guests over! I had to entertain them! Help me out, guys...!" I turn around and I see everyone's gone. Everyone except Nessui. Looking out to the balcony, the goddesses are in their HDD forms and are flying far away from here. Damn, how could they abandon me like this...?

"I don't see any guests!"

Her face is a fiery red at this point. If I can't calm down Savoire, she might end up rupturing space and time or something. Something about this girl tells me that she has tremendous power. The kind that should never surface this world. I'm also sure that she wouldn't mind making me a victim of that power.

"Calm down, Savoire. I know what to do in this situation. (Although it may kill me) I'll take on any job request you want for the day, OK?"

She gives me a dirty look, "And who's to say that you won't do it?"

"I will. I swear. Give me any task and I'll put in 110%."

Her angry face disappears so quickly that I could've almost sworn that it was an act. She claps her hands and tosses me a bubbly smile. She must've planned this from the start! It's not too late to go back on my word...! Savoire's smile turns into a devilish grin and she speaks, "In that case, I have the perfect assignment for you."

"Uh oh..."

"Rouge. I need you to take this to the Lastation Research Lab." She picks up a red piece of crystal and displays it. It has a reflective material, as I can see my face through it. It also seems to be giving off this eerie aura.

"What is it?" I ask.

"A piece of the giant Anti-Crystal you destroyed six years ago. I had our Aurora military power search for it so we could find a countermeasure and it took them this long. I need you to take it with you to Lastation."

Hm...something doesn't sound right. I cross my arms and grunt, "Why does it have to be their research lab? Why can't it be ours?"

"Because Lastation seems to be technologically more advanced than the other nations. If anyone can figure out how to nullify its affects, it's them."

"Then why couldn't you just mail it to Noire or something?"

"I knew you were going to ask that. That is because on the morning I was planning to, I noticed you didn't finish the work I had given you. Consider this punishment."

I flinch. How did she know I didn't finish them?! I made it out to look like I did. What kind of superpowers do you have, Savoire? I sigh:

"OK. You got me. I'll do it." I turn to my little sister who looks as happy as always, "Come on, Lil Rouge."

"Kay~!" As Nessui walks to the balcony with me, Savoire gets in her path and stops her, "Abababa, nope. Nessui will not be joining you."

"Eh?! Why not?!"

She places her hands on her hips assertively, "Because whenever you two go on a Quest or do some sort of task, you always pin the majority of the work on Nessui and take the credit afterward. Look at yourself, Rouge, you're gaining weight."

I snap, "Stop saying that! Anyways, even if I were to go alone, how would I fly to Lastation? The Anti-Crystal will cancel my transformation."

"Relating to my previous statement, you will be walking the long way. Not only will it benefit Aurora, but it will benefit you. - Please know that until you finish this task, you will not be able to return to the Basilicom."

She happily turns around with her head held high. She floats out of the room and back to wherever she came from. Nessui gives me a concerned look and then begins to follow her. I'm left in the room with the various garbage that the goddesses left behind. If I'm doing a mission, that means I don't gotta clean. At least one good thing comes out of this.

I place the Anti-Crystal in the pocket in my hoodie and instead of jumping off the balcony like the CPU I am, I have to take the elevator down. Whoopee. This sounds sooo exciting. Savoire is probably enjoying my "suffering" right now, but the truth is I run like this all the time. She must think that I'm some lazy slob who's out of shape, but I can actually hold my own when it comes to cardio. I'm not going to lie, though. Even outside of my goddess form, the Anti-Crystal is still making me feel a little woozy. I dash off in the direction of Lastation...!

How did things end up like this...?

The girl with the blue hair looked slightly familiar, but she was all too different at the same time. None of that mattered either way because she was throwing a fit. What could I have said or done to make her this upset? When I first ran into her, she was only looking a little bummed out. Now she's crying on top of that.

"Lady, stop crying. You're makin' me look bad..." I scratch my head.

My words didn't seem to reach her. She still continued to bawl and I was running out of patience. I was running from Aurora to Lastation until I bumped into this woman at high speed. I made her drop her flyers and since Savoire already put me in a sour mood, I went off on the woman about looking where she was going and how stupid she is for getting lost in such a small nation. Can you blame me? My nation is the smallest nation in Gamindustri, even a toddler could find their way through here. So after I chewed her out, she ended up like this, the more I tried to apologize the more she would cry.

"Ugh! Just shut up! I said I was sorry!"

That causes her to look up with teary eyes. She then frowns, "See, that is one of the reasons why I formed this group!"

Group? What the Red is she talking about?

"What group?" If my rudeness has something to do with her forming a "group" then I need to know everything.

"A group that opposes the CPUs! From what I can tell you, CPUs are inconsiderate and lack sympathy! All you're doing is making me feel worse and worse about myself!"

After that burst of anger, she breaks down into tears again and falls on the floor. She even begins making loud wailing sounds which probably could be heard in the neighboring city. If someone were to find me standing above a crying girl, my shares would surely deplete. Come on, Rouge, use your head... My Red, she's so pathetic.

"OK! OK! OK! I'm so sorry or something! Just stop crying before I get pissed..." I instantly covered my mouth after letting those words escape.

Lifting her face from her hands, she begins to shout again, "How can you be sincerely apologizing while being so mean?!"

I deflate from the failure. She's right, when did I become so Noire-like? Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I crouch down and rest a hand on her shoulder, "OK, this is my real apology. I'm a CPU, so I shouldn't have been so indifferent about your feelings. From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry."

That seems to have calmed her down. She isn't wailing anymore and she's not trembling as badly as before. I get up and dust off my hands, happy with my effort. As soon as I'm about to walk away she grabs my arm and has this look of irritation in her blue-green eyes.

"If only you and the other CPUs could just...disappear!"

Her voice echoes and she becomes shrouded in a dark aura. Materializing from the woman's chest, a blue-black ball of energy comes towards me like a magnet. It makes contact with my skin and pain shoots through my body. "Ah! What is this thing?!" It begins to expand to my size and doubles, becoming more like a vortex instead of a ball. I try to make a run for it but it has the power of a black hole. I grab onto a nearby tree to prevent it from swallowing me but it proves to just be too strong. I'm swept off my feet and I tumble into the vortex, falling in a deep dark space in the process.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

The hole slowly closes and before it does I hear another woman's voice, "Whoa...! You've already gotten the hang of that ability!" She seems to appear out of nowhere and she has a similar look to Histoire, with darker skin and an all around more evil look. The blue-haired woman looks pleased and surprised, "I...got rid of the CPU..." The next thing I see is a devilish smile, accompanied by a maniacal laugh. The once desperate girl now looks deranged and psychotic. Her laugh echoes through the dark space and before I can call out to anyone, the hole closes.

Falling...falling...falling...

I can feel myself falling deeper, but I can't see anything at all. I can't even see my hand in front of my face. Just when I think my existence has been erased, another hole underneath me opens. White light escaping the hole illuminates my path and I fall closer and closer towards said hole...!

Next Time - The New-ish CPU!
