Chapter 1:
Purple Heart didn't exactly find herself in the most favorable of situations. Three of her rivals, all teamed up to take her down.
"C'mon guys, don't you think this is a little unfair?"
"Shut it Bitch"
White Heart of Lowee, the oldest, yet smallest, of the CPUs. Fierce, brutal, and unforgiving. Wielding a rocket powered hammer that transforms into a gargantuan gatling gun. She unleashed a storm bullets that tracked Purple Heart intensely. Purple Heart found herself cooped up behind a small wall, barely waist high above.
In a desperate attempt to retaliate, Purple Heart drew out her magnum and aimed it above the wall without revealing the rest of her body, blind firing profusely hoping to land a single hit. To her surprise, the machine gun fire stopped, and a horrible screech was heard from White Heart.
"That bitch got my eye!"
A boost of morale shot up through Purple Heart. She thought that maybe she had a chance to win this. She focused on White Heart and got a clear view of her head though the scope of her magnum.
"Goodnight"
But before she could finish the job, a streak a yellow flashes across Purple Heart's vision, her magnum splitting in half as various gun parts and gears showered her immediate area.
"Who the hell?"
"My my Purple, you left yourself in open just like that? I thought you would be smarter."
Green Heart of Leanbox, the youngest of the CPUs yet the largest in terms of bust and height. An expert marksman and excellent spear woman. For her, range was one of her strongest assets, only matched to her beauty. Green heart fires another round at Purple Heart, who unsheathed her blade just in time to split the bullet in half.
"Fuck off thunder tits! Her head's mine!"
White heart dashed her way above Purple Heart, preparing an intense slamming attack that would for sure end the reign of the Purple Goddess. Thinking fast, Purple heart blocked the attack with her sword. The impact nearly shattered her bones. Her blade cracking and losing bits and pieces. White heart stepped backed and readied herself for another attack. Purple Heart, still recovering from the attack, made the bold move of dashing forward and jabbing whatever was left of her blade into the side of White Heart. Screaming in agony, white heart jolted back and dropped her hammer. Purple Heart then followed up with a fist on a one-way course to White Heart's skull. Before she could make contact, a sharp pain echoes through Purple Heart's side. Green heart, crouched behind White Heart snickered smugly and jumped onto White Heart, using her as a platform to kick off and spin, landing a devastating impact into the lodged spear. Purple Heart screamed in pain as Green Heart pulled back the spear as a fountain of coded blood erupted from Planpetune's goddess.
Unarmed and injured, with two fierce enemies chasing after her. Purple Heart's morale plummeted as she ran for her life. Unlike her rivals, Purple Heart lacked a flight module, she found herself stuck on the ground as the other CPUs closed on her, their wings increasing in size, glowing bright, lighting the dark, narrow, and desolate passageway.
But then Neptune saw hope in the distance, a drop-down gate. If she was fast enough, she could knock it down and block off further advancement of the other CPUs. White Heart sped up and attempted to batter Purple Heart's head in. Lucky for Purple Heart, she rolled just in time, grabbing a knife from the holster on her thigh, she threw the knife perfectly and cut the rope that was holding up the gate, she slid under it, just in time to make it across and block off access from the other CPUs.
"Goddamit! Thanks to you thunder tits, we lost her"
"How is it my fault? If I remember correctly, you were the one that botched up your swing"
"If you attacked her from behind instead of kicking me and trying to look cool, maybe we wouldn't have had to chase her!"
"I'm sorry I have style and grace, unlike you. A vulgar and profane brute"
"Vulgar and profane? Look at you, swinging around those knockers like a bag of bowling balls!"
"Excuse you, my bosom has been handcrafted through a series of well-maintained and healthy diets!"
"Bull-shit, I know you and your pathetic excuse of a country is the textbook definition of artificial and fake!"
"You have the audacity to call my figure a sign of illegitimacy?"
"Please, that was me being nice"
Purple Heart, long then abandoning the conversation ran to a distant light at the end of the tunnel. Purple Heart finds herself greeted to a silent, solemn, and dark sky. She stands among an edge with no railings, a breath-taking sight of Gamindustri. The lights among all the cities burning throughout the vast continent. Purple Heart feels another sharp pain and coughs up blood.
"Dammit, I need to get back to Histoire, I think the intelligence we got from here was rigged"
Purple Heart's country, Planeptune, was among the four countries that dominated Gamindustri. The CPUs were top dogs, most people wouldn't even dare to try and form a new country, but instead work off profits and investments from the four countries. The economic relations would lead to the invention of shares. The physical manifestation of the faith and reliance that a people hold for their CPU.
Purple Heart lays down and tries to turn on her wristwatch to call in an extraction, to her dismay, it appears it had broken during the fight.
"Well I'm all out of luck, maybe Histoire will send exfil out of concern.
"I wouldn't get cocky if I were you"
Purple Heart turns around to see a sight she feared the most. CPU Black Heart of Lastation. Her style composed of a darkened trench coat worn over her CPU armor. A scarf was tied to the back of her coat and a Lastation armband circled her left bicep. Her long white hair flowed smoothly behind her as she slowly walked toward Purple Heart. She unsheathed her Rapier which had the ability to transform into a long-barreled revolver. Her dexterity with guns and blades would be unmatched in all 4 sections of Gamindustri.
"I'm impressed that you managed to survive those two idiots. Nonetheless your time as CPU ends here"
"If it isn't the Gothic princess of Gamindustri, tell me, you and dad still having problems?"
"My family matters are irrelevant, not too dissimilar from your country. Its my job to put an end to your pathetic excuse of a nation once and for all"
"You can't kill a goddess unjustly, Black Heart. Besides, would it be honorable to kill an injured and unarmed opponent?"
"You're right, I can't kill you, but I can take your godhood."
"What? That's impossible!"
"It was, until now"
Black Heart was always a deceiver under the guise of an honorable knight. But what she planned to do what something unprecedented and unnatural. She summoned a scythe glowing with a red aura.
"Is that? Negative share energy?!"
"How is that possible, I thought that was only a myth, a rumor from the great crash!"
"It's still in the early stages of development, consider yourself a beta test Mrs. Purple"
Black Heart transforms her rapier into a revolver and fires multiple rounds, Purple Heart was too injured and tired to respond and takes a shot to her leg. She then collapses as Black Heart slowly walks towards her.
"Why, why do you refuse to gain power!?"
"Power? You mean mass industrialization?"
"The process does not matter only the result"
"Video games are meant to be enjoyed for the sake of entertainment. To be lauded as a form of artistic expression and- "
"Your idealistic fantasies are the prime reason your country suffers! The power of shares is much more valuable than your petty 'expression'"
"Black Heart, this world you want, a world where power is all that matters will only bring Gamindustri into darkness!"
"And yours won't? You want a world of stagnation. One dominated by myths and fairy tales. My Gamindustri will be one of Progress, expansion, power!"
"That's not what I want! I care about the consumer-"
"No, you care about your ego, I care about results, and the people will prosper, whether they like it or not!"
Black Heart Pulls up Purple heart by the Hair and stabs her straight through the chest. Purple Heart vomits a profuse amount of blood.
"Why… why are you so spiteful?"
"I've seen what happens when people like you try to prioritize their 'vision' and risk the wellbeing of their comrades and people"
Black Heart raises the negative share energy scythe and cut though Purple Hearts chest clean, stealing her CPU core.
"You don't deserve this"
Purple heart started to lose her power. Her CPU form started to degrade, she got smaller and her hair started to get shorter.
"In the end you are nothing more than a sad and pathetic child, clinging onto dreams and fantasies"
Purple Heart, the former goddess falls to her knees, a tear drops to the floor. Black Heart raises her foot to Purple Heart's head.
"Begone"
Purple Heart found herself falling, drifting into an endless abyss, she looks up to see Black Heart, changing her weapon back into her gun form.
"Goodnight"
She feels a hole rip open on the right side of her chest, a bullet stream passed through it and blood flies upward and litters the sky with red.
Purple Heart utters on last name to before she loses consciousness.
"Nep…. Gear…"
