2 Days Later

After 2 days had passed since Alex and Noire's ferry accident, things calmed down and immediately went back to normal, well as normal as things could be as the ferry accident was only a minor distraction and shortly afterwards all attention of Alex, Alex Õ, and all the CPUs was immediately back on the sudden monster infestation at the Gamindustri Graveyard.

During the ferry incident and yesterday, the Planeptune Sisters along with IF and Compa were originally assigned to scout the area and the monster infestation.

That was until Nepgea shockingly came down with a cold and was unable to participate in the mission.

With the mission as important as it was, Histoire simply couldn't risk it and announced to the others that the mission would have to be postponed to another day and for another group much to Neptune's relief.

So yesterday went by without much happening after the ferry incident the day before that.

Though Alex had quite the scene back at the apartment when he returned from said incident as Akari straight up refused to sleep separate from her son and essentially forced Alex to sleep with her.

Just another example of how overprotective but loving she was for her only child.

Back at the current day Alex was currently walking his way over to the Basilicom and made it going into the elevator and up into the girls' living room.

As he walked in with the intention to head to Uni's room, he saw Noire at her work desk filing out some paperwork that was given to her.

Noire also got glimpse of Alex.

Shockingly, Noire smiled and waved hello at him causing Alex to blush a little and clumsily wave back.

'That's, odd.' He thought as he walked into the hallway.

As he went out of view, Noire immediately began ruffling her hair and internally panicking.

'C-Crap! Did I appear to friendly towards him!? Ugh why am I even treating his reaction so seriously!?'

Alex made it to Uni's room and right before he knocked, the door immediately opened and suddenly Alex was pinned to Uni's bed as she was on top of him pinning his arms down.

"Mind explaining what's happening?" Asked Alex.

"This is an intervention." She replied immediately.

"Intervention for what?"

"Stop putting yourself in danger and near death scenarios."

"I can't keep that promise. Life decides."

"I know. Just wanted to get my point across."

Uni got off allowing Alex to sit up only for the Lastation candidate to immediately give him a bear up.

"I'm sorry I set you two up on the ferry ride without saying anything. I just felt like having you two together for an hour would help you two make up after the fight. Little I did I know it end up as badly as it did." She said with a somber look.

Alex smiled and gently patted her head. "It isn't your fault. Me and Noire knew your intentions were good. It was our fault that we made it as bad as it was."

Uni nodded though still felt a little guilty. "I should've stopped Noire from going if I had known she was sick. She didn't show any symptoms of a cold so I thought she'd be okay."

Alex nodded as he laid down on her bed.

"It's alright. Trust me. The good thing is that me and Noire made up cause of it so it all ended up good." He said.

Uni then grew a smirk and nudged Alex's shoulder playfully.

"So playboy. When you thanked Noire for saving you, what exactly did she do~?" Asked Uni with a playful tone.

She pretty knew already what her older sister did but just wanted Alex to confirm it.

Alex immediately blushed remembering the mouth to mouth Noire gave him at the island as he just turned away from Uni.

"S-She just, helped. Yeah she helped."

Uni laughed at his attempt to avoid the answer. "It's fun to tease you. I already know how my big sis saved you dummy."

She teasingly placed a finger on his lips and placed her lips on the other side of her finger.

"It was mouth to mouth wasn't it~?"

Alex just sighed and answered honestly. "Y-Yeah. She did."

Uni jumped and cheered which just confused Alex.

"Good job Alex. You stole my big sis' first kiss!" She said.

"T-That wasn't a kiss!  I was just knocked out and that was the only way she could save me." He replied back.

Eventually Uni was over it as she lead Alex into the living room and sat him onto the couch as she and Noire were to be in a live call in a few minutes.

As Alex sat down, he saw Alex Õ appear from the elevator and sit next to him.

"So kid, I heard you and the tsun princess got into a ferry accident."

"How'd you find out?"

"Neptune told me yesterday."

"You were with Neptune yesterday."

"More like she forced me to spend time with her because according to her, "former protagonists", should always spend time together."

"Yeah I've been there before. I know how that feels."

Both Alexs' chuckled at their experiences with the pudding loving goddess.

As they were having a small chat, the call had begun as the four CPUs and candidates began to discuss how to handle the scouting of the monster infestation now that Nepgear has received a cold.

After a decent lengthy discussion. Histoire had made a decision.

"Noire. Is Alex there?"

"Um? Oh yeah one sec. Alex!"

Both Alex's looked at Noire as she panicked a little forgetting they were both named Alex.

"Let me rephrase that. Our Alex. Histoire needs you."

Alex nodded and walked to the screen until Histoire spoke.

"On the contrary Noire I actually wanna speak to the other Alex. Sorry Alex. I definitely would've chosen you since you've been handling yourself well after the ferry incident but I still wanna give you enough days of rest." She said.

"No problem Histoire. I understand."

Alex stepped back and brought Alex Õ in front of the screen.

"So, from what I've heard, your an Alex from another dimension correct?" Asked Histoire.

Alex Õ nodded. "Correct. For now I'm stuck here until the items that brought me here are fully charged and ready to go."

Histoire nodded. "I see. Well, in the meantime, do you mind helping us out with our issue?"

"No problem. I'd be glad to help."

Histoire smiled with a sigh of relief. "Good to hear. With you I feel like the scouting will be a success. You won't be going alone though." Said Histoire.

"Who'll be joining me?" Asked Alex Õ.

Alex then placed a hand on Alex Õ's shoulder.

"Come with me. I've got a pretty good feeling on who your partner will be."

Location: Lowee Basilicom

It had been a long while since Alex was at Lowee but now he brought Alex Õ with him here as apparently Alex knew who Alex Õ's partner was.

Eventually after a walk through the cold, white nation, the two stood in front of the Basilicom

"The Lowee Basilicom? You sure you know where your going kid?"

"Yes I know. Also stop calling me kid. We're the same, look the same, and sound the same."

"How old are you?"

"Thirteen."

"I'm Fifteen buddy."

"Fine you win. Come on."

The two walked into the castle like basilicom walking through the long hallways until the two ran into Blanc in the hallway.

"Hey. I've brought him just like you asked." Said Alex as Blanc smiled.

"Good. First off, I'm glad your safe after the ferry incident. Rom and Ram were in tears after finding out you had fallen off into the water."

Alex chuckled. After all he had practically become an older brother figure for the twins.

"Tell the twins I'll hang with them for a bit before I go."

"Will do. Anyways, my room is the first door you'll see." She said as she walked into her office.

"We're going to her room?" Asked Alex Õ.

"Yeah. Your partner is in there." He said.

The two walked ahead and eventually stopped at the first door in the hallway which was Blanc's room.

Alex knocked on the door and immediately after that a voice was heard which allowed them to come in.

Alex opened the door and both of them walked into the room to see Alex Õ's partner

"Uh, that's my partner?" Asked Alex Õ?

"Yep. He just has his hood on." Said Alex.

The cloaked figure then spoke. "Not the Alex I was expecting to work with. Since when where there two of you?" Asked the figure who was looking at Alex.

"I'll explain the story in a bit. Other Alex. Meet your partner. This person formerly went by the name, The Unseen Arrow and was a vigilante. Now, he's not only Blanc's guardian but also her husband for 3 months already."

The figure slowly removed their cloak and revealed their face.

"Alex Õ. I'd like you to meet a good friend of mine."

"Kunsil."
