Episode 1: Planeptune. Origins:
In the beginning, there were two goddesses. They used their powers to create our world. The world was separated into two lands. The top is called Celestia, and the bottom is called Gameindustri. To sustain the two lands, the goddesses created the Sharecite, which became the core of the world. Gameindustri is a land where video games come to life, and where the humans live. The human's faith in the goddesses gave power to the Sharecite, making it stronger. As a result, the world flourished. Celestia is where the goddesses lived. These goddesses were called Arfoire and Rei Ryghts. I was their servant and tome: Histoire, a record keeper of the history of Gameindustri and Celestia. Things ran peacefully for hundreds of years, until something happened between Arfoire and Rei Ryghts. Rei confessed her feelings to Arfoire, but Arfoire rejected her. After that, Rei fell to the dark side.
She stole energy from the Sharecite and created the Red Sharecite, a harbinger of evil that influences whoever comes near it. Rei Ryghts and Arfoire went to battle. The battle ended up damaging Celestia and Gameindustri. The people became afraid of the goddesses, and the Sharecite began to lose power. The two lands began to crumble as a results. Arfoire, in her shame and guilt, couldn't stop Rei Ryghts. In return she joined Rei, letting the Red Sharecite infect her mind and turn her evil. A second Red Sharecite was made for Arfoire, and now she and Rei sought to take control of Gameindustri. It looked like all was lost, but before she turned evil, Arfoire and I had a plan. She and I created four new goddesses with energy from the Sharecite. Arfoire told me that, if she couldn’t stop Rei, then these new goddesses were to rule Gameindustri in her place. When Arfoire turned on me, I took the four goddesses and fled from Celestia and into Gameindustri. I separated Gameindustri into four different lands for each goddess: Planeptune, Lowee, Lastation, and Leanbox. Purple Heart, Neptune, ruled Planeptune. White Heart, Blanc, ruled Lowee. Black Heart, Noire, ruled Lastation. And finally, Green Heart, Vert, ruled Leanbox. The Sharecite separated into four miniature pieces for each land. My hope is that, one day, the goddesses can regain the humans' trust, and write the wrongs of their predecessors.
I don’t know where Rei Ryghts and Arfoire are now, but I do know that they will appear again. I just hope that the four new goddesses will be ready when the time comes.
Monsters Appear in Planeptune:
In the land of Planeptune, “the Land of Purple Progress,” a goddess is at work in her Basilicom, which is the home of a goddess. She has purple hair, has a mini purple dress on with blue and white stockings, and is lying on the floor on her belly. This is the goddess Purple Heart, also known as Neptune, and she is busy... Playing video games in her living room. Suddenly, there’s a knock on her door. Without even turning her focused eyes away from the television screen, she replies:
Neptune: Come in!
A little woman on a book comes through the door. It's Histoire.
Historie: Neptune.
Neptune quickly pauses her game and jumps to her feet. She hides the controller behind her back.
Neptune: Histy! How’s it hanging!?
Histoire turns to look at the television, and then back at Neptune. She sighs.
Histoire: I see you’re as busy as ever…
Neptune smiles hesitantly, but her smile quickly turns into a frown.
Neptune: I’m sorry, but nothing is going on right now! I’m sooo bored!
Neptune pouts and sits back down on the floor. Histoire sighs, but she is also disheartened.
Histoire (To Herself): Maybe this is my fault for keeping the goddesses separate from each other? No. I can’t let the past repeat itself.
She turns back to Neptune.
Histoire: Still, you should be in your office. You never know when something could happen-
A guard comes through the door.
Guard: Lady Purple Heart! There’s a report about a disturbance in the shopping district! Some kind of monster has been spotted.
Neptune perks up.
Neptune: Finally! Some action!
Neptune runs over to her purple sneakers, located near the entrance way, and puts them on.
Neptune: You were right, Histy. Anything can happen!
She runs out of the room. In the shopping district, a crowd of people are fleeing for their lives. One woman in particular, with pink hair, sweater and boots, and black stockings, tries to make her way through the crowd. She is pushed over by another person, and falls to the ground. The monster, called a Guard Vermin, makes her way towards the pink-haired woman. Another woman: A brunette with a green leaf bow in her hair, wearing a black outfit and a blue coat and boots, runs to her aid. She takes out her gun and starts shooting at the monster. The Guard Vermin stops for a second to deflect the bullets. The brunette woman grabs the arm of the pink-haired womanl, picks her up, and they both start running. The Guard Vermin continues to pursue them. It gets closer, and prepares to strike at them with its sword!
Suddenly, a figure appears out of the sky. It’s a woman with purple and black armor on, purple twin-tailed hair and wings on her back, and a sword in her hands. She swings her arms back, and lunges forward at the Guard Vermin! Her sword hits the Vermin’s sword. The blow causes the creature to stumble backwards. The two women below look on in amazement.
Brunette Woman: Is that-
Pink-Haired Woman: It’s Purple Heart!
The Guard Vermin swings its sword at Purple Heart multiple times, but she dodges the strikes.
Pink-Haired Woman: Go Purple Heart! Go!
Purple Heart flies higher into the sky, points her sword down, and then dashes back down as fast as she can. The Guard Vermin points its sword at Purple Heart too… Suddenly, a white light appears, and an explosion follows. The Guard Vermin disappears.
Purple Heart appears out of the explosion. The crowd is... cautious. The people slowly disperse. Purple heart is dismayed.
Purple Heart: You're welcome.
The pink-haired woman runs up to her, and grabs her hand.
Pink-Haired Woman: Thank you so much, Lady Purple Heart! You saved us!
Purple Heart is surprised! She never got this kind of reaction from a human before.
Purple Heart: Umm... Don’t mention it, Miss…
Pink-Haired Woman: I’m Compa!
Planeptune: Don’t mention it, Compa. I’m just glad you’re safe.
Brunette Woman: Lady Purple Heart!
Purple Heart sees the brunette woman run up to her.
Brunette Woman: My name is IF, a member of the Guild. We’re a human-based organization that was created to hunt down the monsters that have been appearing all over Gameindustri.
Purple Heart: “All over Gameindustri?” Are you saying that they’ve appeared in the other lands as well?
IF: Yes. The other three goddesses have joined with the Guild to help take them down, and we were hoping that you would do the same.
Purple Heart: Of course.
Compa: I want to help too. I’m a nurse in training. I came down here to see if I could help the wounded, but I got into trouble instead.
IF: At least you tried.
Purple Heart: Besides, I think we’ll need all the help we can get. How about you two come over to my Basilicom? We can talk more there.
Purple Heart transforms back into Neptune.
Neptune: Besides, all this fighting has made me hungry.
The three of them walk back to the Basilicom.
Histoire’s Gone:
When they arrive, they see Neptune’s guards lying on the floor.
Neptune: What happened here?
The three of them run inside and head into the living room.
Neptune: Histy? Histoire?
IF: The tome was here?
Neptune: Yeah. She came to visit me. Come out, Histy! This isn’t funny!
Neptune looks everywhere, but she can’t find her. All three of them look around the Basilicom, but they can’t find Histoire.
Neptune: She’s gone… What happened? What’s going on here?
Compa: Something strange is going on here. First, that monster appears-
IF: It’s called a Guard Vermin. The Guild came up with names for all the monsters.
Compa: Fascinating. Anyway, first that thing appears, and then Histoire disappears.
IF: I have to agree with Compa. Something fishy is going on.
Neptune: I’m sorry, Histoire. I should have been better…
Neptune: ...Okay. First, I’ll tend to my guards. Then, we’ll leave for Lastation.
Compa: Lastation?
Neptune: Lastation is closer to Planeptune than the other lands, so we’ll go there first and partner up with their goddess: Black Heart. We’ll help her, and the Guild there, take down as many monsters as possible. In return, maybe Black Heart can help me find Histoire.
