It would be a lie if Sapphire said that the first thing she saw when opening her eyes was the love of her life. Of course, if someone asked, she would have said that the first thing she saw when opening her eyes was the most handsome man alive.
It was not.
What she saw when opening her eyes was something else, it was a sp to her face, a grim reminder that…she was not…one of those that brandished the Fate of the world on her hands. She…was not supposed to be here.
What did she see you ask?
See it for yourself.

Answer found within the ND0 system database….
Partial match number 1: Broken World Fragment Core.
Partial match number 2: Broken Soulscape.
Current World Laws don't support either power system.
Yeah…Sapphire was not wanted here, and even so, she did not care about that. She no longer wanted anything to do with that kind of job, so she dismissed the blue screens with a thought.
"Sapphire? Is…is everything okay?" Alexanders soothing voice came as the pods' door opened and the nutrient fluid that she had been submerged came down into the floor.
Alexanders didn't seem to even register that, which was dangerous, the blonde had a penchant for releasing lightning whenever he was too excited, Sapphire didn't mind that before since she was mostly safe within her servers, but now? Now that she had a body?
She had a body!
"Evasfkjshaseurf#%"!" #&#%&((/&//&" The sound that came from her mouth was…not refined, it ended as a string of weird symbols and some numbers even. That made Sapphire frown, that…should have not happened.
Language was merely data, records and intent. She who had once stood at the peak of the World was adept at them.
Notice:Foreign entity, you will be purged of all foreign elements, be prepared.
Patching foreign nguage into Terra Nova's local nguage.
"Hmm…..was there something wrong on the data download?" Alexanders said while walking in circles and reading data from a tablet, "But she could speak normally before. Actually I never had to install any nguage modules did I? Was the Saintsworths servers transting in real time? Or is it because we couldn't download all the support modules? Do I need to…But we haven't managed to make the interface brain-human work on any of the normal tests-"
Sapphire loved seeing Alexanders flustered, but the ominous message that promised to purge her from this World was hanging above her head. So, really, as the system notifications came and went, Sapphire started to feel her Soul slowly chipping away, one fragment at a time.
Was this how Mother felt when she gave birth to her? A mere shaving of the Mother Lode?
Would someone spawn from the crystal shavings?
Sapphire didn't know, Mother never said anything after all. She only spoke with her once, and it was to tell her that the love of her life had to die to save the pnet. And even then, that conversation ended with Sapphire sealing away Mother.
So not a good example of the retionship that her kin had with their daughters, anyway. Alexanders, mumbling to himself adorably with a worried face as he turned to look at her from time to time.
And for some reason turn his head away while blushing, his eyes seemed to always look first at her eyes and then slowly creep down, only to focus once again on the tablet. That was weird…He shouldn't need to even turn to look at the datapad, the man could access the data directly by using his Core Powers after all.
One of the perks of whatever the Scrambler had attempted to do to Alexanders, it allowed him to awaken part of his Core Powers that had no reason to work the way they did.
"Sapphire, we will fix it, trust me," Alexanders said nodding to himself as he walked to her, he was utterly focused on her eyes, doing his best to not look down.
Sapphire looked down to see what was the problem, and found…a pair of perky peeks there, namely, she found her breasts bare for the world to see. That was…interesting. As soon as she saw them, a wave of nausea hit her, making her lose bance over herself, as she was suddenly aware of the weight that her brain had been compensating for.
She was stacked.
"Sapphire!" Alexanders screamed as he dashed towards her, leaving a strike of lighting as his body moved faster than it should have any right to move. And yet, "Are you okay?!?!? Damned hell, I knew that we would need a medic, no. A [Healer Core] user! The amount of clearance needed to get them here…"
Alexanders was once again speaking as she was being held by the blonde man whose eyes seemed to be going through huge amounts of data, she could see the lighting going through his azure sky eyes as he went over the data and was probably abusing his administrative rights to pull some random Hero tied to the Saintsworths to come here and look at her.
Speaking off…
"Alexanders," Sapphire said, making the man turn to her, a face full of worry.
"It will be okay, trust me. I'll get an A-Tier [Healer] soon, I will either [Sve] him or [Bind] him if I need to," Alexanders said pcing his hand on Sapphire's cheek, it was….comforting in a way that she never had expected.
She had some grievances about her retinoship with the blonde of course, she knew that he was not the same man that she had loved before, and that maybe…just maybe…she was projecting her love on him.
But at moments like this, she could see all the good points that she had seen on his previous love, and some extra ones that she hadn't seen before. "You talk too much," And she couldn't help herself.
So, raising both of her hands, she got hold of the blonde man's face and pulled him into a kiss.
She pulled him and held him there. Was it a second? Was it an hour? She knew not.
Nor did she know what the blonde man was doing as his eyes started to process God knows what kind of data; she knew he was doing something as his eyes shone with the light of lightning, and after gring at him. The blonde man stopped doing that, and his eyes returned to normal.
It was this that she hated of this body, she was no longer connected to the network of the Saintsworths. She was….[Human].
"....You can speak…" Alexanders said as they separated from the kiss, "...are….are you okay?"
"That is the first thing you ask?" Sapphire said with a smile as she embraced Alexanders, letting her hands move all over his body, and perhaps pinching some things here and there, "I can kiss, I can hug, I can taste…you taste of vanil by the way."
"...You don't know what vanil tastes like," Alexanders said back.
"Of course I know, it tastes like you. My favorite fvor." Sapphire smirked, "So…do you want to….continue this? We do need to test this body after all…."
She wouldn't mind doing a rough test of it, she had….
Notice:
Purging of foreign material undergoing….
Expected time for finishing purging….32 hours….
Extended physical contact and exchange of biological material will accelerate this process…
Detected biological material from a native, new expected time….28 hours…
…She had barely kissed her man a few seconds, and it cost her four hours?!?!?!
This was…this….THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SHE DID….
Notice:The more intimate and physically intensive activity, the more time it will be accelerated."Is everything okay, Sapphire?" Alexanders asked as he noticed that she wasn't saying anything.
Right, Sapphire could no longer accelerate her thought process, unlike Alexanders and Alexa, the pair of little monsters.
"Yeah, everything is fine. So…do you have anything I can put on?" Sapphire said separating from Alexanders, it physically hurt her to do so, her body seemed to want the same thing her heart, brain and Soul wanted.
"Ah…right…clothes…they are a thing we have as physical entities, yes." Alexanders said, fumbling his words.
"I mean, I don't mind showing you the assets, but…it is kind of chilly here, besides… It's kind of unfair that only you get to see them…" Sapphire said, smiling impishly at the blonde man.
"Be right back!" Alexanders almost screamed as his body moved at speeds that he had no reason to be able to move.
"That looked almost as fast as a speedster…at least to my eyes, how fast is he even moving?" Sapphire said aloud, mussing at how her lover had moved.
All that was left behind him were some lightning traces of where he had run away out of the room; even the door seemed to receive some damage from it.
"Master Alexanders is moving near the limit of what is viable for a baseline Core User," a mechanical voice answered Sapphire musing, "We theorize that he is programming instinctually his body to move to fit his needs, so it looks as if he is moving at Speedster speeds, while he is in actually moving as fast as his body can tolerate."
"So, what do you think of my new ride Starry?" Sapphire said doing a twirl and looking at one of the screens, "Don't pretend you can't project yourself there, we both know I left you my keys."
"... it's indecent to move like that while naked Elder Sister," The image of the brown-haired western mage said as it appeared on the screen, "We are monitoring your vitals, your heart is strong and it seems your body is working as intended. But we have detected a spike of stress that isn't expinable by your current status."
"A maiden in love is a girl who is stressed, that is a normal reaction." Sapphire said nodding sagely while crossing her arms in front of her chest and squishing, "What do you think, do they look bigger like this? They are heavy but somehow quite squishy and nice to the touch, I could probably spend hours squishing them. Wonder if Alexanders will like it too?"
"Studies suggest that the average male likes feeling the female breast," Cardinal Star System said, nodding, "But we have already recorded how your infatuated stress reaction is, and comparing it with our database matches what we expected to find. No, you are currently experiencing what is beled as Dread and Fear for your life. Is there anything wrong with your body that we can't detect from our sensors?"
….So she could not hide her body reactions to the Saintsworths sensors….She was so used to being on the other end that it felt…vioting in a way. But then again, it may have been karma.
Notice:Leaving evidence of the ND0 system to entities that aren't privy to it will result in immediate Banishment.
"We don't know how long this body will hold coherence, nor do we know if our method will hold as well as whatever Alexa did," Sapphire decided to answer after reading that st blue screen. "So yeah, I'm scared shitless, Alexanders is probably too right?"
"Master did realize 814 queries while you two exchanged saliva, plus 253 queries about if it was rude to stare at a woman nude who didn't seem to realize the fact." Cardinal Star System said in her monotone tone.
It was, for some reason, extremely hirious to Sapphire, so she ughed.
"He is currently asking me what your tree sizes are since the ones logged on the database were put there while you still didn't have a body." The AI sister said, some machines separating from the walls and scanning Sapphire as she stood and raised her hands, "Thank you Elder Sister."
"Don't mind it, just….if I end up below E, can you tell him I am E-Cup and send the correct size?" Sapphire…. wasn't sure what size her chest was, it was quite heavy, but then again, she had never felt the weight of her own breasts before.
Even when she had a body, it was more of a metaphysical manifestation than actual flesh, her was that type of existence, the closest thing she had to a physical body had been the crystal lode that Mother discarded…And that one didn't have breasts, it really didn't have a gender either. The only reason Sapphire used a female body was because she had found it cute.
"....I am sorry sister, you currently don't have any clearance to order me." Cardinal Star System said bowing, "I will tell Master Alexanders you asked to be referred as E-Cup if it comes up, so far he only asked for us to prepare your clothes. Do you have any preferences?"
"...Frilly underwear, a cute skirt and some comfortable blouse that is easy to remove," Sapphire decided that would be all she needed, "Some comfortable sandals and some hair ties, also a fashionable purse."
"Acknowledged," The Ai sister said as the screen went bck and one of the robot assistants came with a box, it had the clothes she just asked for and a piece of paper with instructions about how to use said clothing.
Sapphire almost barked a ugh and was going to throw it away…when she remembered that she had never actually dressed up before, so decided to keep it, which was good luck, since she had quite some difficulties putting up the stupid braciere.
WHO EVEN DESIGNED THIS? WHY WAS IT THAT HARD TO GET THE BOOBA INSIDE THE CUP?!?!? WEREN'T WOMEN SUPPOSED TO PUT ON THESE STUPID THINGS EVERY DAY??!?!?
Granted, once she got her chest in pce, it was quite comfortable…But for all that was sacred, she couldn't imagine doing that every day…The horror….
"Sapphire? Are you….decent?" Alexanders voice came from the other side of the door when she finished putting up her hair tie into a cute ponytail (She did not use a two billion robot arm to get her hair done, and there is no evidence about the act either)
"I am always decent for you handsome!" Sapphire answered while opening the door, giggling as Alexanders seemed to jump back and close his eyes, "Just joking with you, I didn't know I was that hideous looking while naked…Way to get a girl depressed."
"No!" Alexanders quickly said, shaking his head, "No…it was, I…I hadn't….I didn't think you would actually…you know…. I feel bad about you….loving me…."
"Hah?!?" Sapphire wasn't sure what this blonde childish man was talking about. Had her kiss turned him into a himbo? Was her kiss that powerful? "The hell are you on about?"
"I mean….you…. you love me because I programmed that right?" Alexanders said in a small voice, "I… I don't know what I put into your code, but… While you didn't have a body, it was all fun and jokes, but now…I feel like I brainwashed…"
*Sp*
"Now, hear me out for a second you blonde asshole," Sapphire said as she felt her blood pressure rise, that was a funny feeling by the way, "You couldn't code Love if it spped in your face, and if you really want to know what you did code on me, you only had to ask!"
Of that she was sure, Sapphire had attempted to get his attention for almost 200 years on their past world, and the asshole never once turned to look at her, it took the world destruction for him to notice her…And even then, their retionship wasn't that long by God's standards either. Not that either were one.
"...Do…do you know what I put there?" Alexanders asked fbbergasted.
"Of course I know!" Sapphire said, she couldn't believe her smart, intelligent, handsome and powerful love of her life could be this…stupid."*Sigh* I swear to God you weren't this dumb…was my kiss that good?"
"How? How do you know?!?!? I tried everything from reading the logs to tracing the keystrokes by the sound they made! How do you know what was in there! What was in there!!!" Alexanders asked,, shaking her, whichwhich also was a novel feeling, "WHAT WAS IN THERE!"
"A date," Sapphire said.
"A date? What date? When is it?!" Alexanders asked grabbing a calendar. "When?!?!?"
"Not that, a romantic date." Sapphire said shaking her head, "You will take me to the shopping mall, like a good boyfriend, and when that is done, I'll tell you what you put in there, hell. I'll get you a copy, I did save one after all."
"....beg your pardon?" Alexanders astonished face was sooooo adorable…And the feeling of having left Alexanders dumbstruck two times in a row was also an interesting feeling; it got your girl just in the right mood….
