Hyperdimension Neptunia | The Bound Warrior

Ch.14 R-18 Island

Max's pov {as always}

My training in the gravity chamber that noire has has gotten more vigorous since the last time I trained. Since I defeated those void lords and whats even worse they escaped, I fear a full on offense. Before I used to be the best bound warrior, I alone turned the war around and gave the bound warriors the edge needed to go on the offense, I was even granted a special title of centurion. A rank granted to me and me alone.

And yet, here I am, weaker than ever, having to go form of power to form of power to start making progress into halting the void lords. H*ll, not even that, I have to do all of this just to learn whats happening between the dimensions.

Im a joke compared to my former self. What happens when I face an actual void lord not someone who sided with them and was granted a title? If I dont reach my original power soon, I fear I might not survive long enough for another bound warrior to regenerate.

I increase the gravity, I am now training at 1000 times normal gravity.

I go into my second form just to be able to stand. Suddenly a screen pops out and noire appears.

"Oh, hey noire." I say.

"Hey max, I wanted to let you know we're leaving to head to planeptune soon." She says.

"Whats the occasion?" I ask.

"I dont know, just that vert told us to meet up there." She says.

"'kay." I say.

The monitor disappears and I continue my training.

Reach my original power, reach my original power. I repeat in my head.

5 Minutes later

I decide to end it here and head with noire and uni to planeptune. Not much conversation was had between us. Me and noire, more or less have been avoiding each other.

I honestly dont know why I am acting like this.

We land at the basilicom and see a little fight between neptune and peashy.

But something else happened. As soon as we landed I felt something strange. Its hard to explain but I fear my suspicions of the void lords may be true. They might just send an operative or a singular void lord at me. A full on campaign dosnt seem likely. They most likely will approach with caution.

Suddenly peashy knocks neptunes pudding out of her hand.

"Hey! P-ko thats crossing the line!"

"Its your fault!" Peashy says as a comeback.

"Your the one who always goes to far p-ko! This is why I hate you." Neptune says. Ouch, even I think that went to far.

Tears started swelling up peashy's eyes, really making me feel bad.

"Idiot neptuna! Dummy!" Peashy says before running off.

"You know the one who calls someone a dummy is actually the dummy!" Neptune says.

As peashy runs I decide to speak up.

"That was a little too far neptune." I say.

"Oh?" Neptune turns to us. "Oh! W-When did you guys get here?" Neptune asks.

"About the time the pudding fell." Vert says.

"You were mean to peashy!" Rom shouts.

"You were fighting a kid on her maturity level." Noire points out.

"Well, maybe I did take it a little to far." Neptune says. Well, at least she admitted her mistake. "A-Anyways why are you guys here?"

"She changed the subject." Vert points out the obvious.
