"Hello!? Is anyone there?"
The Mysterious CPU woke up in a strange place as it is pitch black and unable to see anything until a female voice is heard that said "hello Victor"
"Okay how did you know that my name is Victor!"
Victor is feeling unease and slight panic that the voice knows his name until he heard another female voice.
"Hello is anyone there? Do i really have to wait for another voice box?...well don't blame me if I start picking up golden rings on the ground"
"Okay who was that?" Victor asked the first voice if she knew the other one's name but it playfully giggled and said
"She is Neptune, even if you can't see her but you already know how she looks like when you two were falling" Victor can't deny that as they were working together in Celestia against the three until he jumped down after her.
"Okay then what's your name?" He asked the first voice about her name,which is appropriate as she knew his name
"It is Histoire, I already know your name" Victor is intrigued by the name Histoire but is surprised on what he heard next.
"Oh!...*m...ru......ning...t...f...time...*ease...*elp.......tune!"
Then a flash of white nearly blinded him and waked him up. He found that he is in a pink room and found the purple haired pre-teen girl named Neptune clinging to him as if her life depended on it.
"Good morning sleepyhead...well technically it's good afternoon" Victor turned and found the peach haired girl.
"Hello and what's your name?" He asked the girl for her name as he is going to ask her some questions that needed to be answered.
"It's Compa and your name is?" She wanted to know his name as well, when he looks at the girl, he is surprised that she has a small dog collar or choker around her neck and a light pink,cotton sweater and checkered skirt with an unusual belt that is tilted and a large C as a buckle,she also has a headband with a handmade C. He is at slight unease about giving his name to her but told her that she seems trustworthy enough.
"It's Victor...my name is Victor" he said with a warm smile but faded when he heard Compa uttering "Victon....Victos...V-vi...WAAAAH!" He winced as the girl can't pronounce his name properly but gave her nicknames for her to call him by.
"Too tricky? Don't worry just call me Vic, John , Sam , Vizioth , and well John-John"
"I chose John-john! Hello John-john" He winced and nearly regretted giving her the nickname but seeing the warm smile Compa has, made him happy nonetheless.
"Yaaaaaawwwwnnn!"
They both turned around and saw the girl waking up, she looked up into Victor's strange yellow eyes and he flashed her a warm smile which confused her.
"H-hello" is the only thing she can say to him.
The room began to fill with an awkward silence to which Compa broke the ice.
"Uhm...John-john I need you to give me some time with her" Victor stood up and walked to the door, only to be stopped by Compa that said "I almost forgot! If your looking for your sword and your jacket. There just outside the door"
He is confused by what Compa meant until he looks down and saw that he is only wearing black shirt and his sheathed sword missing that is holstered near his jeans.
"Okay? Well thank you for telling me Compa" and without another word he left the room leaving only Compa and Neptune.
"What is your name? Mine is Compa" she asked for Neptune's name, the quiet girl suddenly became energetic and answered the questions Compa asked
"My name is Neptune! And the main character of this game?" Compa became wide eyed but giggled on her enthusiasm but can't pronounce her name properly just like Victor.
"Too much trouble? Well not to worry call me Nepsy, Nep-Nep, Neppermint"
"I chose Nep-nep!"
Neptune was happy that she made a friend but wasn't sure about Victor but shrugged it off and asked Compa if this is her room and how she got here.
"Yes this is my room and I am a nurse and it is part of us to carry limp bodies" Neptune was slightly dumbfounded that she knew that Compa is that strong when she doesn't look like it, but again, she shrugged it off when her stomach rumbled.
"You hungry? Don't worry I have some pudding you want some?"
"Uhm?....what's pudding?" The nurse initially became confused that she doesn't know the delicacy
"That well it's sweet and tasty and I'll think you'll love it" then she took a pudding cup and a small spoon from her fanny pack that looked strangely like a belt.
"Ooh...it's wobbling and shaking *takes a spoonful of pudding* wow! It does taste good"
"I knew you'll like it"
As the purplette merrily enjoyed eating the pudding, she asked the nurse on how she got here.
"Well...I found you yesterday when you landed on the park like a spear on the ground" the nurse said completely forgetting that Victor was also there with her.
"That happened but I don't remember anything about it" the nurse was surprised she doesn't remember why but since she is in a medical school so she said her diagnosis.
"You said you can't remember?" Neptune nodded "that means you have amnesia"
"Amne-what?"
"Amnesia if you can't remember anything, you have amnesia"
Neptune finally understood her condition and almost hopped of the bed after what Compa told her " I still need to treat your wounds".
Neptune found that she does have cuts and wounds that she got from her battle in Celestia, but because of her amnesia she doesn't know how she got it.
"Don't worry I'll bandage them but I'm not too savvy with it"
"Oh there's nothing to worry to about, it's cuts and bruises but I'll let you bandage them" the young nurse is happy that she is able to improve her bandaging skills "okay but first I'll have to remove your clothes"

"Hey there too tight loosen them up a bit first!"
"But they need to be tight so they won't sag and they won't heal properly"
"Well loosen them up where I can at least.........breathe......"
Neptune's bandaging is literally becoming torturous as the young nurse skills in bandaging is too poor until the bandages are finally the right tightness for her to breathe and the bandages are no longer becoming suffocating.
"Next time....be....careful...with..the bondages"
"Their bandages Nep-nep"
"Whatever you said your a nurse right Compa"
"Actually I'm a nurse in training "
The young nurse was confused by Neptune asking her why but she snapped out of it when she saw her hop down rearing to go for an adventure.
"Hey! Where are you going!"
"I'm going on an adventure like an RPG video game!"
"Why?"
"To save someone named Histoire"
"Wait! I'm coming to!"
Neptune was initially confused but quickly became overjoyed when she remembers that Compa is a nurse
"Great! I already have a healer but are you sure? You have school right"
"Well because of the monster attacks and people being eaten since the goddess hasn't returned yet, classes are suspended until further notice"
"Awesome! I have a healer and at early game as well!" Neptune is overjoyed that a party is already forming and dashed to the door only to be stopped by Compa again.
"There is another person behind the door, if you ask him to join us he can be our warrior that is what I know in RPGs"
Neptune realized that Compa is talking about Victor. She is hesitant but opened the door and found Victor sharpening his sabre with a piece of diamond. His sabre has an unusual blade as the blade is from a Bowie knife but longer and polished black and a diamond cutting edge, a gaurd that has an upward taper as in what you see on a sai and a small blade for a pommel.
"Well where are you girls going" he said but became mildly surprised when he saw Neptune gawking at his sword.
"Uhm....are you okay?" He noticed Neptune glaring at his sword until she focused her gaze on him.
"Will you join my party" she whimpered to him as if she doesn't want him to join her quest to save Histoire for unknown reasons.
"Sure I'll join" Neptune is still giving him a glare until she walked angrily to him and clutches his shoulders and told him "good! And just so you know I am the leader!" He nodded until Neptune whispered in his ear "if you try to steal my role as main character of this game...they will be consequences"
That comment. The Raven haired young man knows he has to try to become a minor party member, but being minor won't last long if he is joining the adventure with the amnesiac heroine
Meanwhile at an unknown forest
"So...this is the Virtua Forest"
"Yes and there are some weak monsters here"
"That's great! We can do some level grinding to them as well"
The trio are trekking through the forest as they are starting their adventure by going to the crash site. Victor is actually surprised to see that Neptune is quite persistent and merrily goes through the forest, but since the monsters are weak and she has a wooden sword she scavenged from a dumpster earlier to defend herself.
They found a weird slime type monster that is teardrop shaped and ears and facial features of a dog.
"Ooh! Are first battle let's do this!" Everyone readied their weapons at a group of ten.

"okay! the dogoos are cute but they are weak, this will be  really easy!"

 Neptune readied her wooden sword that is slightly sharpened, Victor readied his sabre, and Compa readied an oversized needle, so large that anyone that is scared of needles will run for their lives when they saw it. Victor killed a few of the slimes with circular slash while Neptune was bashing them with her sword, Compa on the other hand is using her needle as a sword and gun at the same time. They defeated all of them but leaving a huge mess of blue jelly from fighting them.

"Whew....that was tiring.....what are these monsters called anyway?!"
"I believe zat zey are called dogoos from Compa"
"Wow! When did you have an accent?"
"I have a name and zat is Victor and second of all I change my voice anytime and anyvhere"
Neptune is dumbfounded when she heard Victor speaking in an accent and the fact that he can change his voice at will.
"Anyvey onto ze more pressing matters" he then ventured off on his own but the girls remain on the spot until he shouts "come on we have bigger matters to attend to now hurry up!"
They were now on the lighter part of the forest. They are wandering and found a strange crater on the ground.

"Hey? is that where i fell down cuz i see a strange crater on the ground?"

"that's where i found you Nep-nep, and Vi-vi"

"Vi-vi?" Neptune was confused on what Compa meant by Vi-vi until she pointed at Victor which gave a questioning stare.

"i got tired of calling him John-john so Vi-vi was better"

Neptune understood the nickname and looked back at the crater.

"so this is where i fell"

"that's right nep-nep, you landed like a spear as well so i have to pull you up"

"so.... i think i remember something!"

"really nep-nep!"

The young nurse in training went starry-eyed when the purplette when began to remember something until.

"gaaahhh! I still don't remember anything!" the young nurse's hope quickly died down when she heard this and barely heard Victor whisper "retrograde amnesia huh?"

"h-hey! w-why is the ground shaking!" questioned the purplette and it wasn't long until the trio realized that the ground is breaking

Victor was worried when the ground was crumbling until he saw Neptune fell to the ground

"Neptune!!!" he shouted until all three of them fell.
