Infamous Neptunia: Spark of Hope

Prologue: Night of disaster. The blast of Leanbox

(A/N) Note: Sorry in advance if this does cause any triggers to occur to those of you who've suffered sad events or otherwise. You have been warned

(N/A) POV

(Leanbox)

Life for the past three years had been rough without the CPUs of Gamindustri or their CPU Candidate sisters

ASIC just about has full control thanks to their CFW Monsters

Yet still Gamindustri kept praying that one day, their CPUs would come back

Yet three years later...

All they got...

Was an explosion in Leanbox

Originating in Zune island district, a dome of blue light covered the whole island swallowing everything and everyone

No one knows what caused it...

No one knows why this happened...

And no one from Zune District survived...

Except... one woman

(Zune District remains)

???: Activations plus six minutes. Pulse is 45, respiration 10. Looking good (Y/N)

(Y/N) POV

(A few minutes later)

I shot open my eyes to see a blur at first, then groaned as I tried to get up

(Y/N): What the heck happened?...

I my vision then came back only to see destruction on a high scale all around me as I stood on what looked like the ground zero center of a nuclear explosion

(Y/N): Oh goddesses...

Just then a Leanbox helicopter flew overhead as its spotlight caught me

Helicopter pilot: Hey there's someone alive down there! Hey! Wave up if you can hear me!

I did so as I could still hear him just fine

Helicopter pilot: If you can walk, get out of there, head for the bridge

I nodded in response as the helicopter pilot then caught someone's silhouette in the nearby crumbling parking garage

Helicopter pilot: Hey you! In the garage!

The silhouette waved only to then disappear

Helicopter pilot: Get the hell out of there! The whole thing is coming down!

I then looked ahead to see a ruined but walkable path heading for the parking garage

Still able to walk I started down it

(Y/N): C'mon, (Y/N), move, Move.

As I kept walking and limping down it, explosions kept happening around me, almost knocking to the ground

But I struggled on

And just as I reached the parking garage, my Ngear's communicator went off as I answered it, hearing the voice of my friend IF, or Iffy as I called her

IF: (Y/N)?! (Y/N) are you there?! Please pick up!

(Y/N): Iffy? Is that you?

IF: Oh thank the goddesses you're alive! Where are you?!

(Y/N): The center of Zune district I think. But what the heck's going on? I think there was an explosion

IF: There was an explosion! They're saying ASIC or terrorists did this! Meet me at the Leanbox central bridge. We'll find Compa and get back to Planeptune's Basilicom to hunker down
