So I know I made their relationship way to fast but like i said in the previous chapter, i just wanted a quick lemon of Neptune and any other person. But that was then and now i descided to make a full story out of this. In this chapter, Neptune and Ben goes on a date and Neptune reviles a secret about herself. This chapter is the starting point of where I am heading to with this story. So enjoy
As the morning sun came, Ben woke up to see Neptune sleeping next to her. He smiled as memories of last night came rushing in and he blushed. Ben got out of the bed and went to the rest room. As he left, Neptune woke up and found out that she was alone in her bed. She heard sounds coming from the rest room and knew that Ben was in there. She too got out o bed and began to think
"Today I have a date with Ben and we had sex last night. Wow! I wonder how am going to tell Nepgear and Histoire about this and what will my citizen think when there hear that their CPU has fallen in love with a boy. And most of all, what will Ben think when he learns of my age. He will probably leave me." As Neptune continued with those negative thought, she didn't realize that she has reach the door of the rest room till she bumped into Ben who was coming out of the rest room.
"Am sorry" Both said at the same time making the situation awkward
"I wasn't looking at where I was going" Ben apologized
"No it's alright"
"Are you ready for our date" Ben asked with a little excitement
"You said it Ben… I am so ready for this" Neptune declared
"Alright then… I will go get ready and I will see you at the leaving loom" Ben said
"Sound good to me. Just give me 5mins and I should be done" and with that said, Neptune went into the rest room to wash up and Ben went to get dressed. After she was done getting ready, Neptune went to the dining room to see Ben, Nepgear and Histoire all already eating Breakfast with a strange atmosphere
"Good morning Histoire and hello Nepgear" she greeted them as she sat down
"Goo-goo-good morning Ne-Ne-Neptune. How are you" Nepgear stuttered
"What's wrong Nep junior" Neptune asked a little confused
"Well you see, there sort of overheard us last night" Ben said with a blush
"O crap! I can explain" Neptune said while panicking
"O you will explain alright. How about starting from how you two ended up in the same room and why you two HAD SEX LAST NIGHT" Histoire yelled. Ben and Neptune were completely scared and at a lost on how to explain this to them.
"Histoire please calm down, let us give them a chance to explain" Nepgear pleaded
"Well alright but you two better have a good way to explain yourself" Histoire said
"It started like this, I accidentally walked in on Ben while he was taking a shower and this and that happened and the next thing I know I was having sex with Ben." Neptune told them with a straight face
"Lady Histoire! I know that I just met Neptune but my feeling for her is real her, so we planned to go on a date today to get to know each other" Ben declared with a straight face
"Wow! Congratulation sis" Nepgear said while clapping
"Thanks Nep junior and Histoire I feel the same way for Ben. It's not like we were planning to keep this from you or anything" Neptune said
"You are missing the point Neptune, you are a goddess and Ben is only human, relationship like that cannot exist" Histoire explained
"I know and I don't care, am still going to try to make it exist" Neptune said
"I understand what you are saying lady Histoire but I can assure you that there is no need to worry. I promise you that my feeling for Neptune is genuine and beside, I don't think her being a goddess will be a problem for me" Ben mumbled the last part to him self
"Well if you feel that strongly about it, I won't stop you guys but you have to keep this a secret for now. I mean we don't want to have any news reporters at our door step first thing in the morning" Histoire said with a sigh
"Thanks Histy and don't you worry we will be back around 8pm" Neptune joyously declared
"Well Neptune shall we" Ben took her hand
"Yes we shall" Neptune responded. After that, there left the basilicon to get their date started. Neptune took Ben to a new restaurant that just opened in planeptune called Wonder land.
"Well Ben, this café just recently opened in planeptune and it's one of my favorite" Neptune showed Ben
"I can see why, how about we go inside" Ben said
"No props just follow me" Neptune said. As there entered the café, there took a seat and called for a waiter. The waiter was a female that looks to be in her 16 and was very pretty.
"Welcome to our café, please what would you like?" the waiter asked
"I would like a strawberry pafe" Neptune said
"I would have what she is having" Ben said. The waiter bowed down and went to get their order. While there wait, Ben and Neptune began to talk about themselves
"So…you are a goddess?" Ben asked
"What's that supposed to mean?" Neptune said with a slight bit of annoyance
"Well it's just that you don't look like the goddess type"
"That because you haven't seen me transform to my CPU form" Neptune replied
"So what do goddesses do exactly?" Ben asked
"Well, we help our people, slay some monsters that terrorize the people and we listen to the people's needs" Neptune explained
"So you are like the leader of the country?" Ben asked
"You could say that" Neptune said
"Wait if you say you are the goddess of this nation, does that mean that you are the first one?" Ben asked
"No, there are actually two goddesses before me" Neptune explained
"How did you become a goddess?" Ben asked
"Well I don't quite remember because it's been a long time but I think it has something to do with my people's faith in me" Neptune answered
"Are you immortal?" Ben asked
"Well as long as my people keep believing in me then yeah" Neptune answered nonchalantly
"Just how old are you?" Ben asked. All of a sudden Neptune became very nervous with sweat coming out of her body.
"What's wrong?" Ben asked with concern
"O…it's noting, don't mind me" Neptune said trying to doge that question
"If you say so" Ben said not convinced "So about my question from earlier"
Neptune became sad and lowered her head
"If I told you my age, am afraid that you will leave me" Neptune said in a low voice
Ben took her hand and looked her in the eyes "I promise you nothing you tell me will ever make me leave you" Ben told her.
"Do you mean it?" Neptune asked. Ben kissed her not minding the entire stare that there were getting. Neptune was surprised about the kiss but she kissed him back. After there separated, Ben stroked her hair and smiled
"Now will you tell me your age?" Ben asked again
With a sigh of defeat, Neptune answered "1000" she said not looking at him. Ben was so surprised that his mouth was hitting the table
"Are you serious?"Ben asked not believing his ear
"See I knew you would have that reaction but it's the truth" Neptune said a little sad
"Don't be sad, I admit, I was a little surprised but am ok. It's just…" Ben said a little worried
"Just what, what are you not telling me?" Neptune asked
"I have something to tell you that you might not believe" Ben said looking her in the eyes
"Try me" Neptune replied
"Neptune am not your every day human that you know, I am different" Ben told her with a straight face
"What do you mean?" Neptune asked a little confused
"Well let me explain…" Ben sighed before continuing "a very long time ago, I was part of an experiment that deals with giving human beings power. I was kidnapped and brought to a lab, there I was placed in a container and was experimented with. After about 2 years of being experimented on, a great accident happened in that facility killing everyone except me, I was the only survival but I wasn't a normal human anymore"
"What happened next Ben, come on tell me?" Neptune practically screamed
"Ok ok just calm down a little" Ben pleaded. Once Neptune was calm again, Ben continued "so as I was saying, I wasn't a normal human anymore. I possessed these abilities that no normal human possesses such as materializing my sword from nothing and flying, but the most shocking power was my immortality." Ben let it all sink in before continuing "I can instantly heal any wound and I can regenerate any part of my body that has been damaged. Basically, I have no scar in my body. Because of this, I have avoided getting close to any one because there will just die and I will not. I have being using my powers to help anybody in need for many years now but after a long time, that got boring so I stopped" Ben stopped because the waiter came with their order so there began to eat in silence. After what seemed like an eternity, Neptune asked
"Just how old are you Ben?" Neptune asked with curiosity
"Well I turned 1000 this year" Ben answered nonchalantly
"You mean that you are the same age as me?" Neptune asked surprised
"Yes, I know that it's hard to believe but it's the truth. Actually you are the first person I have ever told this" Ben said as he took Neptune's hand and caressed it. Neptune felt torched because Ben trusted her enough to tell her this secret.
"All my years, I have been very lonely with no one but now…" Ben leaned in front of Neptune before continuing "I have you by side and I will never let you go" and with that said, Ben kissed Neptune with passion. Neptune gladly kissed back with the same passion. After what felt like an eternity, there broke the kiss and the whole crowed erupted in cheers.
The two of them left the café after paying and went on to continue their date. There were walking in the streets full of people who were giving them second glances. As there were walking, Neptune continued asking Ben some question about his power
"So you are telling me that you can heal from any injury?" Neptune asked
"Pretty much" Ben replied
"Wow! That just like me but I heal with my people's faith that is converted into share energy" Neptune explained
"Well I figured as much with you being a goddess. So is Nepgear an immortal like you?" Ben asked with curiosity
"Well sort of! I mean she is a CPU candidate and she lives by using my share energy. So if am immortal I think she is too" Neptune answered him
"Then why did you say sort of like you weren't sure?" Ben asked
"Well you see I was not born as a goddess" Neptune told Ben
"What do you mean? Weren't all cpu created by the people's faith?" Ben asked confused
"Well… the thing is I was once a human before I became a CPU. Back then there was a huge war that took its toll on the land between the goddesses of that time. In that Great War, the previous CPU before me perished. The people of Tanuaki which was what this nation was called back then where in a desperate need of new CPU because with the death of their CPU, Tanuaki was done for. I remembered that at that time, I was only a girl of 14 years old who lost her parent at a very young age. I never would have imagined that I would become this nation CPU." As Neptune was telling Ben her story, she got tired and she along with Ben found a bench in the Conner and decided to sit down.
"So what happened next?" Ben asked too eager to hear the remaining of the story
"So as I was saying, after the CPU of Tanuaki died, the goddesses were planning on forcing the Tanuaki citizens to become their own citizens and believe in them to boost their share energy. We had no choice but to obey because if we refused, we will be killed. So, I had this dream about when I was a goddess and was protecting my nation. I woke up and was surprised because there was no way a homeless beggar like me would ever become a CPU of a nation. For me things were normal because whether we are forced to worship a new goddess or not, nothing will change for me. I will still be homeless and a beggar so I thought what's the different". Neptune relaxed in the bench and looked at Ben only to see him in tears. Neptune became confused and wanted to ask him what was wrong but Ben spoke first
"You were homeless and poor back then, I feel so sorry for you" Ben said looking at her in the face. Even thou that the story she was telling Ben happened a long time ago, Neptune was still touched that Ben loved her so much that he would cry for her. She leaned forward and planted a kiss on Ben lips not minding that there were in public with so many people watching
"Who is that person kissing lady Neptune?" a random civilian asked
"Lady Neptune is in a relationship with someone" another civilian said
"And the guy she is kissing is hot… ooo! I wish I was Lady Neptune now" a female civilian said
"I better send this to my friends online" another civilian said
As all this murmuring were going on, Neptune and Ben were still kissing in their own world not paying attention to what was going on. After some minute passed, there pulled apart only to realize that their little make out session has drawn quite a crowed. Neptune immediately transformed to her CPU form making everyone including Ben surprised as to why she transformed but in Bens case, he was surprised because this was the first time he has seen her transformed. Neptune carried Ben in her arms and took off into the sky and flew to a field with a giant tree in the centre. Once she landed in the field, she gently kept Ben on the ground
"A little warning before you carry me to the sky next time" Ben said feeling a little dizzy
"Sorry but with a crowed like that out there, there was no time to think. I just acted on instinct" Neptune said as she transformed back to her base form
"Just give me some warning next time" Ben said sitting down under the giant tree. Neptune joined him and sat down next to him to begin her story of where she stopped
"So where was I, o yes I remembered now… after that dream, I walked to the basilicon to talk to anyone that is in charge of things now that their goddess was dead. Once I entered the building of the basilicon, I started sensing something calling me so I followed it. I walked all the way to a room down in their basement and in that room; I found this giant ball thing née. Whatever it was, it was telling me to touch it and I did, but immediately I touched it; I was filled with the entire citizens of Tanuaki faiths and that's not the only thing that happened…" Neptune said giving it a dramatic pause
"Come on don't leave me hanging hear, I really want to know what happened next" Ben said desperately
"You should feel honored that I am telling you this story you know. I haven't told anyone this story yet, not even Nepgear and she is my sister so you should be privileged to be hearing it from me." Neptune said in a matter of fact
"Yeah yeah I got you but why not tell Nepgear, I mean you are sisters right?" Ben asked a little curious
"Well my past is not a pleasant one and I don't want her to look at me differently after she hears about my past" Neptune said a little sad
"Now I am even more curious to know what happened next" Ben said to eager
"Ok ok as I was saying, the people's faith started to fill me up then I transformed to my HDD (Hard Drive Divinity) form. After I transformed, Histy came into the room to see what the light was all about and boy was she surprised to see me. She at first thought I was an enemy goddess but she sensed Tanuaki shear energy residing in me so she calmed down. I for one was on the brink of panicking but she calmed me down. She explained everything to me about being a goddess and after that I accepted my fate"
FLASH BACK
"What happened to me? Why am I like this? And what are this feeling" Neptune asked herself in panic
"It would appear that the share energy have decided on making you the new goddess of Tanuaki." Neptune turned around to see who was talking to her only to see a tiny fairy sitting on a floating book
"Who are you?" Neptune asked while stepping back
"Do not be afraid for I am this nation oracle Histoire" Histoire introduced
"Wait you are Histoire? The Histoire that foresee everything that happens in the basilicon" Neptune asked with disbelieve
"Are you surprised?" Histoire asked
"Well of course am surprised, I mean I thought that the Histoire I heard so much about was a human not a fairy" Neptune said
"But am not actually a fairy, I am a tome created by the first CPU of this nation with the sole purpose of recording event that transpired through history" Histoire explained
"So you like record everything that happens right" Neptune now in CPU form said
"That's right but enough about me, it seems that the share Cristal has chosen you to be this nations third CPU" Histoire said to Neptune
"Yeah before I know it, I was being called by something down here and it turns out to be this thing. I don't know what happened but it was telling me to touch it and when I did, I started looking like this" Neptune explained
"That interesting; by the way what is your name?" Histoire asked
"O that's right I haven't introduced myself, my name is Neptune and I am a citizen of Tanuaki. My parents are dead so I am an orphan who has nowhere to live, it's nice to meet you" Neptune introduced
"Well it's nice to meet you too Neptune and as I said earlier you are this nations CPU now" Histoire said to Neptune
"I get that with me being like this but what exactly does it mean to be a CPU of a nation?" Neptune asked her
"I will tell you what it means to be a CPU but first, we need to get out of here. Come on I will take you to the upper part of the basilicon" Histoire said as she began to leave the basement
"Wait for me will ya" Neptune shouted to her as she followed behind. There arrived at an elevator and entered it together. After the ride up, there made it to the living room of the basilicon and Histoire gestured her to take a seat.
"Neptune can you change back to your human form?" Histoire asked her
"I can try but I don't know how to" Neptune responded
"Try to visualize yourself in human form and tap in the share energy within you" Histoire told her
"I will try…" Neptune did as she was told and in a matter of seconds she was back in her human form "hey that actually worked and I think I get how this thing works now" Neptune said while she sat down
"Good! Now that out of the way, am going to explain what a goddess is to their people so listen well" Histoire said
"Whenever you are ready"
"So you already know that goddesses are CPU who rule and protect their nation…" Neptune nodded "but you don't know the true history of how goddesses came to be, so I will explain. Long ago in Game industry, there were many lands and each of these lands was at war with each other. Each land want to rule over the other so war was imminent. One land, the weakest of the land which was on the brink of extinction prayed and a miracle happened to them. Due to them being the weakest land, there prayed for a savior to appear and save them and their prayer and faith were converted into what is known as shares and created a certain individual whose name was Suki. Suki was a divine being who possesses supernatural powers and with these powers, she easily turned the tide of the war and won the war single handedly. No one could stand up to her so she became the ruler of all the lands and was worshiped as a goddess thus making her the very first goddess." Histoire explained
"Wait if she was the only goddess at that time, then how come there are more now and how can I become a goddess when I am a human or was I guess?" Neptune asked
"Throughout history, there has never been a human who became a CPU before so you are a special case I will have to look into. Anyway, since Suki became the ruler of all of Game Industry, many lands hated for a single being to rule them thus leading them to divide into two sections. The ones who love and adores Suki and the ones who hates her rule. Because of this, a new war broke out between the two lands and with the goddess aiding the first land, victory was assured. The other land knows this so like the first land, there prayed for a miracle and a new goddess was born. Her name was Lucy and she has a red processor outfit making her the goddess of red heart. With their own goddess, the second land now has an equal starts to the other land. The two CPU fought one another but there were no victor. The war lasted for years and eventually, some people in both lands became fed up with the constant fighting and left to go make their own lands. There eventually became four lands which a goddess resides on and the lands with a goddess became known as nations. The CPUs fight in other to become the single ruler of each nation and for that fact, there have been fighting each other till this very day." Histoire explained
"So now that I have become a CPU, I am expected to fight in this war with the other goddesses" Neptune said with a hint of sadness in her voice
"Am afraid there is no choice. Now that you are a CPU, the other goddess has certainly sensed you and there will come for you" Histoire told her
"I get it, I never liked any of the goddesses so if I can fight them to protect this nation then I will fight with the last of my abilities" Neptune said while standing up
"Excellent; now we need to introduce you to your people and to let them know that there is a new goddess. From today onward, you will be known as Purple heart, Goddess of Tanuaki" Histoire declared
"Wait; I think I should change this nations name if am going to rule it" Neptune told her
"But why change the name" Histoire asked confused
"Tanuaki is composed of the previous goddess name which is Tanui. So I think I should change its name to suit me since I am a new ruler" Neptune explained
"That makes sense so what will you name it then?" Histoire asked her
"Heh heh heh… I not sure yet but I will think of something" Neptune said with a sweat drop
"I suppose we will think of a name for this nation after your introduction to your new people. Neptune it will be a great honor to serve you" Histoire said as she bowed her head
"Well let's go introduce me to my people" Neptune said turning around to hind her blush. She will not say it out loud but she finds Histoire bowing to her a little weird. I guess it is expected when you become a goddess
"Right let's go" Histoire leads her to where she will address her people
FLASH BACK ENDS
"…So after Histy explained everything to me, I decided to protect my people and fight the goddesses" Neptune said to Ben
"I still don't get why you don't want to tell Nepgear about this. Did you do something in the past that you don't want to reveal to her?" Ben asked her
"Yes! I did something. Something that when she hears it, it will change how she looks at me" Neptune said as she looked and clutched her knee
"What did you do?" Ben asked
With a little pause, Neptune answered "I killed the two goddesses of that time only sparing Blanc but since I beat her to the point of her being on the brink of death, I saw no reason to be the one to finish her off so I spared her and believed she will die with the state she was in" Neptune answered with an expressionless face. Ben was surprised beyond word that all he could do was look at Neptune with wide eyes.
And cut. Wow! Who would have thought Neptune past being this dark. I don't know if a CPU were created or if they were once human but I like how I said that they were created. It makes Neptune a special case in this story. Well in chapter three, I will revile why Neptune killed those two CPUs and why Nepgear ages but Neptune doesn't. So please review and tell me what you think.
