Author's Notes:

Enjoy!

Software opened her eyes to see herself in a barren room. There were a few windows high up on the wall as it was clearly night time. Cuffs held her arms above her head and a wall of light surrounded her. She could feel a collar around her neck.

“What the- where am I?!”

“So you are finally awake,” a mechanical sounding voice said. Software looked up to see Cad Bane looking at her.

“What…who…”

“My name is Cad Bane,” the blue man said. “I am a bounty hunter.”

“Why…why would anyone put a bounty on me?!” Software panicked.

“No one put one out on you ma’am. But I have been charged with finding your son.”

Anger ignited in Software.

“Don’t you fucking touch him!” She spat. As she moved her hair swung forward a little bit and hit the wall of light. Instantly, the hair was singed off. She gasped.

“While I respect your desire to protect your son,” Cad said, “I’m afraid my orders are clear. I am to bring your boy to my boss.”

“Why…” Software began tearing up. “Why is your boss after my son?!”

Cad raised an eyebrow (or at least made the motion) at that, before understanding dawned in his eyes.

“I see. Your son never told you.”

“Told me what?” the worried mother asked.

Cad walked up to a control panel on one side of the room. A monitor lit up, a video beginning.

“My boss gave me these files on your son so I could prepare,” Cad said as the fight with Kamoshida played. Another screen showed Micro switching genders and becoming Neon Heart. Software couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

“This…what am I seeing…”

“Your boy is a very special kind of ability user,” Cad said. “We have yet to determine if all his friends are or if they just are sharing in the benefits your son’s ability offer. As for why he hid it from you, well…”

He gestured to her scared face as she saw the creature Micro was fighting transform into a larger and clearly stronger form. Finally she saw Micro, Chara, and the others bring down the beast and she smiled a little. Obviously she wasn’t happy, but something about seeing her son, quite frankly, kick ass was amazing.

Then she remembered and fully realized the situation she was in.

“I’m bait,” she stated. Cad nodded. “After seeing him take down that giant thing you think you can beat him?”

“A few things wrong with that assessment my dear,” Cad said. “He had his friends with him then. I made sure he won’t risk bringing them. And you act like I’m planning on fighting him head on.”

Software felt tears well up in her eyes as she heard that. She wasn’t foolish enough to think Micro wouldn’t show up. He cared for her too much to allow anything to happen. Still she remembered the one time he threw away a million dollar business contract just because the head of the company, unprovoked, grabbed her ass. She could only hope this would be like everything else in life…

And that Micro could figure something out.

An Abandoned Construction Yard.

“So…” Micro said as he looked over at the others. While he was slightly winded from all the…there is no tactful way of saying it, banging of different Succugirls, the group was too exhausted to try the other panty dungeons. Even Shiro the “Sex God” (the words of some of the girls at school) was a bit more worn out. “That was fun.”

Goofy grins split the rest of their faces as they tried to remain steady on their feet. They would’ve stayed in Sanctuary but they all wanted to spend some time with either family or other friends. Plus with the exhaustion…

“By the way,” Micro said as they began walking out, turning to Shiro. “Those places exist in real life you said.”

“Yeah,” Shiro said. “I don’t go there but they have them. Why?”

“Because an idea came to me and I might need to get in contact with a golem one.”

Flashback

“Really…” Micro muttered. “That is what this place is called?”

Micro hated the fact that this place was called “Build a Bitch” as he felt that was incredibly rude, but according to the dungeon info…they had to sleep their way through every business.

Entering he was greeted by a puppet girl with light blue hair and wearing a sack like dress.

“Hello,” the puppet said, the strings making it wave. Micro was slightly disturbed by that but knew this place had to be conquered.

“Hi…,so…how does this place work?” Micro asked, looking around at the body parts around the room.

“Simple,” the clerk said. “You make the girl that you want. The waist, arms, face, everything! We put in the required parts, and then add whatever personality you want the construct to have.”

Micro raised an eyebrow.

“And…no offense but are they still wooden like you are?”

“None taken. I don’t have a full personality core inserted once we put the core in it will become a flesh and blood body until we take the core out.”

Micro sighed in relief and began thinking what/who he wanted to make. Once he settled on creating a replica of Tharja with a less sadistic personality, he got to work on it. As he was putting the personality core in, a thought occurred to him. The core looked like a magical object rather than tech…but…

“How do you make these cores?” Micro asked.

“Huh?” The clerk said. “Um…I don’t know. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine,” Micro said. “Just curious.”

He wasn’t going to get her hopes up…but if he could build a proper body and the core…

Smirking he accepted the quest notification that popped up, happy he thought of it.

For now though…he had a dark witch to make scream his name.

Present.

After getting Shiro to promise to lead him to the closest Succu-district when he gets the chance, Micro split off to head home. He was looking forward to spending time with his mom. As he entered the house, he called out.

“I’m back mom!” He said. No answer. Gamer’s Mind held back the small bit of worry he felt as he thought she must just be out later. That was when he saw the device on the table. Walking up, his heart sank as he saw a Jedi holocron sitting there.

Instantly he touched the device and a hologram of Cad Bane appeared above him.

“Hello Micro Chip,” Cad said. “As you probably know from your world’s Star Wars series, I am Cad Bane. As you can tell from the hand print I have on my head (He bowed his head and removed his hat to reveal it) I work for the master you have been interfering with lately. I was sent to capture you for him. Now, as I couldn’t find you, I figured the best way was to bring you to me. The holocron will act as a key to an ID. Do not bring anyone else in with you. If you do…”

He stepped aside and a still unconscious Software was revealed.

“I’m sure you’re smart enough to figure it out.”

The holocron cut off as Micro was emotionless. He clamped down on all his rage, fear, and every other emotion. Now was not the time for anger.

It was time to plan.
