Mon Mon Nepu Nepu 4

I wonder if everyone else has gone through a change like us?  Neptune is a weird jelly girl, Uni is bird girl, and I don't even want to imagine what's happened to Compa.  IF seems to be the most normal out of all of us, even if she does have a pair of horns and an odd spade-tipped tail.  What about Blanc and-

"We're here Gear."  IF snapped me out of my thoughts as we headed into the Guild.  I entered expecting the worse...but my fears were put to rest as I saw there were more humans than monsters in here.  Actually, after looking around and getting a better look at the area, we seem to be the only monsters in here.  "What a relief, everything is normal."  "Of course everything is normal, it's our job to keep it like that."  "O-Our job, right..."  She paid no attention to the confused look on my face and guided us to the nearby receptionist at the counter.

"Good day Mrs. IF, Mrs. Compa."  The lady at the counter paused to take a look at me and Uni, smiled, and turned back to the pair in front of me.  "Are these...?"  "No, they're friends of ours."  "Ah, how can I be of assistance to you today?"  Their voices trailed off as I couldn't help but to turn around and just watch everyone go about their business.  If we're going to be fighting, how in the world are we going to do so without weapons?  I turn to see Uni, her eyes narrowed, searching for something as she looked further into the Guild.

"Uni."  "Hm?"  "If we're hunting other...monsters...how exactly are we going to fight them?"  She sighed and continued scanning the building.  "First of all, we're hunting lesser monsters, most aren't worth that much effort.  We don't really need weapons to fight them."  She turned to look me in the eye as she kept explaining.  "I mean, if we really need to use them we will, but that will hardly ever happen unless-"

"Oooh, a new face, and she's a cutie!"

"Do.  Not.  Turn."  Uni had completely frozen in place looking me in the eye wearing a very serious expression on her face, whispering directions to me.  Out the corner of my eye I could see a bright red head of hair swaying forth, with an odd strand of her bobbing back and forth.  "Just ignore her and she'll go away."  I don't want to be rude to someone, especially when they sound so nice.  I shake my head, smile, and turn to greet this friendly new face.  "Gear, no!"

The person that now stood before me was a little taller than Gust, yet her clothes were much more exotic.  I stared past her big, white-streaked bang into her gray eyes and...Aww, she's so adorable, why would ever want to ignore someone like this?  I can't get over how...cool her clothes are!  Her sleeves were completely detached from the rest of her outfit exposing her shoulders.  I also couldn't help but notice her fancy dress, because it reminded me of a flower with the way it was arranged, exposing her thighs and tight shorts.  Her bust was...enormous for a girl her size, and exposed around the center...  She must be so proud...  Wait, why am I noticing these things!?  "Like what you see?"  She said as she threw her hands on hips and puffing out her chest, brimming with a wide smile.  I was rendered speechless as she showed off her bouncing breasts, winking and giggling at me.  "Hehe, it's official, you're gonna be my pet!"  She whispered flirtatiously, pointing directly at me.  I don't know what she meant by that but when she said that she turned and skipped off, looking back and giggling to herself.  I...I never found what her name was...

"Gear!"

A stern voice calls from behind...it sounds so far away...

"Nepgear!"

"Y-yes?"  I turn back to see IF and Compa glaring at me with looks of disapproval written all over their faces.  "What the hell do you think you're doing?  Why didn't you listen to Uni?"  "Wh-what do you mean?"  Why is IF fussing at me like this?  All we've been doing is standing here waiting for her and Compa to finish their business and be on our way.  "I'm sorry IF, I took my eyes off of her for a second and she attacked.  I tried warning Nepgear but she wouldn't listen."  Uni apologized...fearing for the worst I assumed.
IF sighed and put her face in her hand and shook her head in disappointment as Compa folded her arms.  "Looks like the Dogoo Infestation won't be so boring now, will it dear?"  With another sigh IF continued shaking her head.  "I would have preferred boring Dogoos over having to deal with that crazy midget..."  Midget?  I look around to see if I could spot who she was referring to, but there was no around that stood out to me.  "Don't bother looking Gear, she's probably long gone by now."

With a final groan IF took her face from her hand and shrugged.  "So much for letting the girls wander off on their own and doing their own thing.  Uni, you'll have to watch Gear.  Compa, you and I will have to hold off on taking care of our share and make sure that troublesome woman doesn't make her move."  Compa simply nodded and Uni stood straight up facing her, silently waiting her next order.  "Wh-who did I-"  "Nepgear, please.  The more you think about it the harder things will be become if...no, you're better off just not worrying about it completely."  Before I could ask what she meant, she placed her hands on mine and Uni's shoulders, and guided us toward our next destination.

I get the feeling I'm missing out on something really, really important.  I think I may have overheard someone mentioning heading to Virtua Forest, and that brings back memories of earlier times...back when everybody was normal.  That was back when IF and Compa had saved me from the Gamindustri Graveyard, and they brought me to the very same forest in order to bring me back up to speed.  It's nice that the girls haven't changed a bit, but can the same be said for the others?

I let my thoughts wander, reminiscing about the past as we approached the forest...my first mission as a monster girl...
