This story came to mind after playing through Megadimension Neptunia VII Twice, Once on the "Good" ending and again for the "True ending", As such I have not personally experienced the "Bad ending" but know what it entails. This story will not feature the "Bad Ending" in any way. This is also my First Story to write so please do go easy on me. And before I go any further foward, I will admit that I only have played Megadimension Neptunia VII, So I have LITTLE knowledge of the events before that isn't already mentioned in the game's Library. There will also be changes in the storyline as I tend to view the New Game Plus Mechanic as a sort of Butterfly effect. You'll an Important one in the Prologue itself and you see why when you read it.

And I apologise if the characters seem OOC in some way.

Finally a single disclaimer before I get started on the Prologue.

I do not own the Neptunia series in any form, please support the official owners of the franchise.

Without further Ado, Let's get started.

Daybreak is shining on the Four landmasses of Gameindustri.

The birds are singing, the NPCs are rising from their beds, everything is rather peaceful.

Everyth-"WWWHAAAAAT?!"

Well everything except the room where Histoire and Neptune is currently over at the Planeptune Basilicom.

Histoire sighs and speaks up once more "Neptune, please calm down.." Histoire is the Oracle of Planeptune in charge of recording it's History and currently looks toward a currently Hyperventilating Neptune.

"How c-can I calm down a-after what you just TOLD ME?!" Neptune Yells to Histoire. Neptune is the Control Patrion Unit (Or CPU for short) of Planeptune and it's Ruler despite her child-like Appearance.

"Please Neptune, I won't explain further if you don't" Histoire says in a calm soothing tone in an attempt to try and calm Neptune down.

"O-ok H-histy" A now sort of calm but visibly shaken Neptune says to Histoire.

"Now then..." Histoire takes a moment to collect her thoughts Before speaking to Neptune once more.

"It is possible to try and save Uzume from her fate by going back into the past and change some small events in order to fulfil the requirements for her True fate, Only..." Histoire suddenly grows silent.

"What, what is it Histy..?" Neptune asks.

Histoire Sighs and suddenly a Holographic Display appears to her right. It looks very much like a checklist.

"This is the "New Game Plus" Menu, This will allow you to play your ENTIRE Adventure from the moment you got sucked into the Zero Dimension along with your sister Nepgear" Histoire says as she points to the Holographic Checklist. Nepgear is Neptune's Younger sister and is the CPU Candidate for Planeptune.

Neptune simply slides her head to the right in confusion and asks "Why does it look like a Checklist..?"

Histoire Points to one of the check boxes on the List and begins to explain "With this menu, you can bring along people that were not there in originally in the first part of the Adventure, such as your friends from the Gold Third as well as bring along other things that were not previously accessible in the Initial portions of your journey"

Gold Third came after the Zero Dimension Arc and had been Placed as the Rulers of all four Landmasses while the CPUs were robbed of that role Temporarily by a Mysterious power during an Exhibition match, They are now currently allies to said Landmasses CPUs since the fiasco involving Zero and Heart Dimension which is now completely gone.

"You mean I can go Into HDD from the moment we arrive..?" Neptune asks with a sort of Hopeful and peppy tone.

"Yes, unless there was it's required for one reason or another" Histoire Explains.

"What do you mean by that..?" Neptune asks as she begins to simply check EVERY option on the List almost pressing the option to Immediately activate New Game Plus if Histoire had not spoken up quickly to divert Neptune's full attention.

"Even with this Menu, Your Journey will follow a similar path, Including anything coming before the Tutorial"

Neptune points and mutters something about an unfair rule before speaking up again "Ok then Histy anything else I should know..?"

Histoire begins to mutter to herself before gulping audibly and speaking up once again. "Once you accept there is NO way to return to this version of events. There is also a chance something will go wrong although this can be anything really even something as simple as a meal being Undercooked later on OR something very much unknown in it's Consequences."

Neptune takes a moment to calm herself before speaking one last time to Histoire "Ok then Histy, I understand, but I'd do what I have to do as the protagonist to get the better ending" And so with a smile on her face showing the Determination of her choice she firmly presses the accept button.

But as Murphy's Law states "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong", So when the button is pressed Neptune suddenly is forcibly transformed into her HDD form, screaming in pain as Histoire can only Watch in horror as this transpires knowing that nothing she can do now will help Neptune before everything goes black.

The Adventure of Megadimension Neptunia VII begins it's New Game Plus cycle, with an unexpected twist to the first move.

Yes, Yes I did do that.

Essentially Neptune will be in Her HDD state for at least the Zero Dimension Arc and she has brought along EVERYONE from the 4 Landmasses and even Gold Third for the Ride. I might decide to Include DLC characters into the fights to mix things up but that is up for you readers to decide.

Find out how Neptune reacts to being stuck in HDD state and how everyone reacts to her Choice to perform New Game Plus in the next Chapter of dragon b- *Ahem* Megadimension Neptunia VII: New Game Plus Edition.
