-[@TheFake]- You make your way towards the Academy the IDEC soldier had said, moving away from the beach and into civilization. However, 'civilization' included vehicles moving very quickly, buildings as high as towers and people wearing very strange clothing. Said people by the way, gave some very curious looks at your direction but did not speak a word about it. After hearing a bell toll, you spot a stream of young people heading inside the grounds of a school of sorts. It was probably the Academy the soldier was talking about considering that the young people looked like students. "[color=0072bc]Ahem! Excuse me.[/color]" Your attention was called to a [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/arcana-heart/images/6/6e/SakiPic.png/revision/latest?cb=20150505222402]young girl with long, flowing blue hair[/url]. "[color=0072bc]You have been staring at the students for a while now? Are you a teacher here? I don't recognize you.[/color]" She began asking before looking at your attire. "[color=0072bc]You look like a foreigner and also wear strange clothing. Who are you?[/color]" -[@Hammerman]- After letting out one last cough, Rielle quickly looked at you. Her face fierce and full of rage. "[color=39b54a]YOU LITTLE S***![/color]" She yelled before hurling a skull burning with a sickly green fire at you. Regardless of what happened, Rielle would then close your eyes and assume a soft expression before uttering a short incantation and making a movement of her hands. It appeared it was a spell of sorts as her position was soon surrounded by a glowing, green line of magical energy. Meanwhile, you spot Youmu fighting the blonde girl who had emerged from the carriage but you had more pressing matters to deal with. -[@VitaVitaAR] (YMU)- [quote=Youmu Konpaku]"I wish to challenge your friend, Rielle-san, to a duel."[/quote] Before the girl could respond, Rielle yelled at your companion Victoria. "[color=39b54a]YOU LITTLE S***![/color]" The magician girl then hurled a burning skull at the undine. "[color=fff200]Oh my, it seems Rielle wants to duel [i]your[/i] friend instead.[/color]" The girl remarked. "[color=fff200]Tell you what, [i]I'll[/i] play with you instead.[/color]" The girl then disappeared in a purple flash of light before reappearing behind you and taking a horizontal swing at you with a dagger. Fortunately, you had enough combat prowess to easily evade the sneak attack. "[color=fff200]A warrior from Zipangu, are you? Looks like I'm having exotic for lunch.[/color]" The girl pulled out a second dagger and gave it a lick and assumed a combat pose. It appeared she gave you the first move but it would not hurt to think she has a counterattack ready. Meanwhile, Rielle had a circle of green magic on the ground surrounding her. -[@PKMNB0Y] (STRI and TMA) & [@VitaVitaAR] (GLD)- You arrive at your destination, the city of [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/hyperdimensionneptunia/images/6/64/Lastation-mk2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110605020632]Lastation[/url]. The place most definitely gave off the atmosphere of industry, the black colors reinforcing that feeling. Most of the buildings you saw were factories and towers of sorts. Machinery was rampant, you could even see a giant satellite dish. Despite the atmosphere though, the air was surprisingly clean to breath and there was some degree of cleanliness in the area. Meanwhile, the citizens did not pay you much attention once you arrived but some eyebrows were raised. Crossing a bridge heading towards the giant satellite dish, you spot a [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/hyperdimensionneptunia/images/8/86/64.png/revision/latest?cb=20120113003030]green-haired girl[/url] running towards you. "[color=1a7b30]Hey! Out of the way, morons![/color]" She tried to push between you but ended up tackling [u]Goldibanne[/u] to the ground and dropping the backpack that was in her hands. "[color=1a7b30]Ow. Hey, didn't I tell you to get out of the way?![/color]" Moments later, a [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/hyperdimensionneptunia/images/4/45/NepgearV.png/revision/latest?cb=20151120234129]purple-haired girl[/url] came running. "[color=bc8dbf]Heeeey! Come back! Those are mine![/color]" She cried as she ran towards you, though her gaze was focused on the green-haired girl. "[color=bc8dbf]That backpack's mine, Underling! Give it back![/color]" The one referred to Underling quickly stood up while also bringing up [u]Goldibanne[/u]. "[color=1a7b30]Back off, Nepgear! Or she gets it![/color]" Underling placed a knife on [u]Goldibanne's[/u] throat. -[@ACHTUNG]- [quote=Haruna][color=fff200]"As for lingering questions, you would note that there is two missing, and that is... How and When... How are we going to be of help to you and when are we expected to provide said help?"[/color][/quote] "I'm glad you asked those questions, Twintails!" The Entertainer replied. "For 'How', I expect you to find the main base of operations of these rogue Agents. At the very least, find out which universe it is located in. I can handle things from there." The Entertainer said before producing a black box from behind him and holding it out for you to see. "To do that, you'll have to snoop around some universes and find the rogue Agents' portal gates. This black box can record the wavelengths of the three past universes a portal gate has lead to. With that, we can pinpoint the universe where their base is located." He then continued. "To use this, simply connect this to the computer of the portal gate and it'll do the rest." "Of course, you can just manually input the wavelength into the box should you get ahold of such information." The Entertainer added before pressing some buttons on the black box to show you how that was done. "You'll only probably get such info if someone affiliated with the rogue Agents spills it to you but I wouldn't count on it." "For 'When', you can start right now!" The Entertainer stretched his arms sideward. "We already have four universes where there are reports of rogue Agent activity." ------- [hider=A World Of Magic] "This portal gate leads to a world of fantasy. Of magic. Of dungeons and dragons. However, our sources there's suspicious activity happening in a kingdom called Razelia, the magic capital of this world. You will be emerging from an IDEC outpost just outside the capital city of Zauberheim. If you need more info, you can ask the operatives stationed there. Though I heard there's been some sort of unrest happening there. Tell me all about it once you get back, okay? Please don't bring, or at least show, any sort of modern technology. Just... don't, okay? It's going to be a headache if you do." [/hider] [hider=The World Of Arcana Heart] "This world is a sort of modern fantasy. There's a Celestial Realm, a Hell and of course, the Earth. There are girls there who's got all sorts of super powers. You will be emerging in an outpost in the remote areas of Japan 'cause that's where all the action is. Our sources have reason to believe that the rogue Agents have made contact with some of the locals. I'm sure you know what that implies so be careful. Also, report to me or to the operatives anything that happens to you there." [/hider] [hider=The World Of Hyperdimension Neptunia] "This entire world is known as Gamindustri. It's a bunch of lands floating in the sky. The people there might recognize you and if you are an avid video gamer, you might recognize them as well. Or at least figure out what they represent. They're also... quirky to say the least. However, sources have indicated that there might be rogue Agent activity meddling with the affairs of this world. Also, there are suspicions that some of the locals have had contact with the rogue Agents so again, be careful." [/hider] [hider=The World Of Gyossait] "...or what's left of it anyway. Well, there isn't much you can see here since Gyossait, the goddess of Earth, got mad at humanity and tore the planet asunder. Now the sun is red, the water is acid and monsters rove the wasteland. Still, somehow our beleaguered sources in the world has detected non-IDEC portal gate activity there. I want you to go there and investigate as well as retrieve any wavelengths you find. [/hider] -------- "I have one more thing to add." The Entertainer quickly interjected. "I have... well, let's call them my 'children'. These guys can be a big help to you and they'll most likely do if you just ask them." He then sighed. "But they don't like me or IDEC very much. It's a long story. Anyway, if you encounter them, just keep me and IDEC and the Agents out of the conversation as much as possible. But if that fails, just tell them that Mister Peculiar is also in on this. In fact, just tell them you are acting under Mister Peculiar should they ask." "What do they look like, you ask?" He paused to think for a bit before answering. "Their appearances vary but you'll know them once you see them. They usually stick out in the worlds they're staying at."
