A Ghost Rider's Journey Vol. 4: Meeting A New Enemy (x Hyperdimension Neptunia)

Chapter 8

Ghost Rider:'Are you sure it's a good idea?'

Me:'Relax. I'll transform when I'll need it.'

We went in some kind of arena for the fight.

Noire, Peashy, Plutia and I were in the ring, Noire staring annoyed.

All the others were watching.

Nepgear:"Goodness, it won't end well."

Uni:"Well, he deserve that! He could just apology! Although...neither I wanted him to fight Iris Heart..."

Neptune:"If Sadie goes bersek nothing will stop her."

I presumed that Iris Heart was Plutia. But I couldn't understand what the problem was.

And now I'd rather not to know it.

While we were getting ready, Noire turned to Plutia.

Noire:"Ehm, Plutia, can you please do me a favour?"

Plutia:"Yeeeeees? What is it?"

Noire:"Could you please, please, wait for me and Yellow Heart to lose before you fight?"

She puffed her cheeks.

Plutia:"Oh, but I want to fight noooooow."

Noire:"I know, I know, just for this time? Please?"

Plutia:"Sorry, no can do. It's the fiiiiiiirst time I see a male fighter. I'll give you 5 minuuuuutes, and if the fight is still going...I'll fight anyone who stands in my way."

I didn't like the smile she made to the last thing. Noire became rather paled.

Noire:"5 minutes...ok...no problem...are you ready Peashy?"

Peashy:"Let's go let's go, I wanna play!"

Noire:"All right then...Processor Unit, Set!"

A bright light engulfed them and they transformed.

Noire was just like when I met her.

To my surprise, Peashy grew in all senses.

Her hair and chest grew, her eyes became orange. She wore a white suit with black or dark blue markings on both hips and breasts, along with small red glowing segments on each piece.

She also had a white collar around her neck, white long gloves and similar kneeboots.

Her weapons were a couple of big gloves, each one with three yellow claws.

Me:"Well, that was unexpected..."

Suddendly Noire rushed against me with her sword. I was fast enough to stop it with my chains.

Me:"Trying for a surprise attack? I thought you would fight fair."

Black Heart:"It's your fault if you don't look at your enemy."

I made an head-butt and she stambled back.

I was about to punch her when Peashy came from above.

Yellow Heart:"Ha ha ha ha! Here I go!"

I stopped to evade her claws, but Noire attacked me with her sword.

Black Heart:"And I was scared of you? You're slow."

But I used my power to grab her arms and I threw her against Peashy, falling on the ground.

Me:"And you're to cocky."

My wound was already healing, so I rushed and used my chains to tie Peashy.

Yellow Heart:"Hey, no fair!"

I then started to attack Noire with a storm of chains while getting closer.

Black Heart:"What's with all these chains!? They never ends!?"

Me:"Who knows..."

Black Heart:"Haaaa! I'm sick of you! Behold the power of a Goddess! Lace Ribbon Dance!"

She started to attack all the chains with her sword. She was about to get me and I jumped back.

Yellow Heart:"Got you!"

Without I noticed Peashy got free from my chains and she hit me with her claws.

It hurted a lot.

Black Heart:"Now I'll finish this!"

Just when she was about to attack I bended down.

Black Heart:"What!?"

And she went against Peashy.

When she got up she was really angry.

Black Heart:"Stop mocking me and fight!"

I grabbed her leg with my chains and slammed her against the wall.

Then I went behind Peashy and presses a nerve on her neck.

Yellow Heart:"Wha..."

She went down unconscious and returned a kid.

Me:"One down..."

Noire came out from the wall at high speed against me.

Me:"...and two missing."

I rolled to left evading the attack and she started to chase me.

Neptune:"Wow, I didn't immagine he was so good. Lonely Heart is having a bad time."

Blanc:"You don't think she would use her Next form, do you?"

Vert:"I wonder about that...though that boy is something else...an handsome..."

I was to busy with Noire to pay attention to what they were saying, but I heard of Next form.

Me:'So she has a trump card? Why isn't she using it?'

I waited for the right chance and punched her at the abdomen.

Black Heart:"Gh!?"

I then made an uppercut and I used my legs to make her fall.

I grabbed her sword in middair and when she touched the ground I pointed it against her.

Me:"So, do you give up now?"

I could feel everyone's stare on me. Noire was glaring furious, but she closed her eyes and returned normal.

Noire:"Fine, you win. Happy now?"

Me:"If you'll stop to be so annoying with me, I am."

I helped her to stand and she just looked away.

But suddendly I felt a chill on my spine. The air became cold.

???:"Oooh, so it seems you really are strong~."

The sound of a whip echoed in the arena.

???:"I hope you can entertain me with your screams, handsome~."

I turned to the voice.

Standing there was a girl I didn't see before.

She had dark purple hair and pink eyes. She wore a black outfit whit pink tank top like bustier piece with very thin straps and button-like pieces with multiple holes in the center, a neck piece with a glowing line and pink line below it, small straps connecting to her bikini bottom piece, almost shoulder length gloves with multiple pink pieces, and long boot like parts connecting to the outfit by the outer piece.

When Noire saw her she stopped immediatly. She couldn't even say a word.

Nepgear:"Goodness! Iris Heart!"

Neptune:"Noire! Get away before Sadie goes bersek!"

Me:'Iris Heart? Sadie? Don't tell me...'

I looked at the girl, who was staring at me with a psychotic lustful smile.

Me:"...Plutia?"
