Nuclear Strike.

A Hyperdimension Neptunia Fanfic by Archaeologist of Humanity. Currently a one shot. I MIGHT make it a two parter or more...We'll see! ;)

[Planeptune Tower.]

Neptune sat on the balcony overlooking Planeptune and the rest of Gamindustri. It had been one wild ride. From the moment that she had been aware about her past to the battles with Arfoire right up to meeting Plutia and facing down Rei...It was all...A wild ride to say the very least. She leaned back as she took in the sights before her. She was a goddess, sure, but even the most divine of us need a break every now and then right?

Neptune yawned and streched as she got to her feet. Enjoying the light breeze that came at her from multiple different directions. Something was brewing however, there was just...Something in the air. Something which Neptune's keen sense of smell didn't like. Something which could, if left unchecked, lead to disaster.

Unfortunately for Neptune and the entire of Planeptune, that was precisely what was going to happen - Disaster.

Narrowing her eyes she tried to make out the image of something being placed down onto the town's streets almost in immediate proximity to the Planeptune tower. Something wasn't right here. Something was definately up, but Neptune, being Neptune just couldn't figure it out. No matter how obvious it seemed.

Someone...Was planning on having some fireworks.

Some very BIG fireworks.

Like the kind that go BOOM in comic strips in the manga that Neptune often reads...Poor goddess.

Nepgear fidgeted as she sat in Lastation with her best friend Uni overlooking the lands of Gamindustri.

"Nepgear?"

Nepgear jumped almost out of her skin, "Good-Goodness!" She yelped as she turned to Uni. "Please don't do that Uni!" She squeaked at Uni. "You scared the life out of me!"

Uni put a hand behind her head. "Umm...Sorry..." She looked down bashfully as her embarrasement levels went up another level. (Level 2 unlocked - Nervousness!)...

Nepgear shook her head, trying to make Uni realise it wasn't her fault. "It's my fault. Don't blame yourself... I, I just was unaware you know?"

Uni nodded at Nepgear. "I understand. Hey, hey-" She pulled out her tablet, "Why don't we see what films are on? I'm SURE Onee-chan wouldn't mind if I watched some with you!"

Nepgear smiled at Uni. "Sure!" She almost yelled in excitment but then stopped, placing a hand over her mouth. "Whoops...Sorry Uni."

Uni shook her head with a soft smile. "Don't worry. Onee-chan tries to blow my ears out half the time with her practice singing. I'll admit, she's good. But not near as good as how I've-" Uni, realising what she was saying, suddenly stopped and clamped a hand over her mouth.

Nepgear could only laugh.

If only you all knew what was going to happen...

[Lowee Basilicom.]

"That's odd."

Blanc typed away furiously at her computer as the satellite was brought into position over Planeptune. Thanks to the agreement all the nations had in place, the overall treaty which was NOW in effect was a brand new one. The nations could look at each other for potential riots and alert the CPU/Candidates as nessasary. This served to greatly increase the amount of help that the 4 friends gave each other.

Especially in times like these.

It had been so quiet in recent months that Blanc had gotten rather concerned. Not to say the other CPU's weren't worried, it was just that while the Ultradimension was open to them, there was all the more chance of enemies from that dimension crossing over to theirs. That, and Blanc didn't want another furious conflict between Arfoire #3 and #2 over which one should be considered the original. ONE ARFOIRE WAS ENOUGH DAMNIT!

As the computer screen settled over the location, it was blurry. Which was odd. The satellite had been upgraded in the past 2 months so this shouldn't have been happening. Like, at all.

Location glitches? Fine. Location vision technology going blurry? Not fine.

Blanc thought to herself as she saw the type of device which looked fairly big in the centre of Planeptune's town/city centre.

'That's not an ordinary device. Nor is it one Neptune would have organised I would have thought... I'd better call-'

She reached to her satellite chat programme, "Blot Mechan" which was technical babble for Satellite communication/video calls and called up the CPU of Leanbox.

Blanc could have SWORN she saw a timer on the device...

[Leanbox Basilicom.]

Vert started to scream at her computer as her party lost another battle...Again.

"I told you to move! YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTEN! ARGH! NOW WE'VE GOT TO START AGAIN! No, No. Don't go! We can compromise! Come back...I'm sorry...Yes, yes, and- Gimme a second here-"

Vert clicked on the icon for "Blot Mechan" and up came Blanc. "Ah! Blanc, how nice to see you ag-"

"Listen up Thunder Tits. We've got a problem."

Vert sighed. "If this is about your last check up at the doctors, you already told me-"

"Sh-Shut up! Anyway, take a look at this."

Vert blinked as she looked at the imageary. "Blanc, this is just Planeptune's city centre. There's nothing here but people an-"

"Look at the thing in the north west quadrant. It's hidden under some tarpooling."

Vert clicked the satellite to show herself more, but the image went blurry. Just like it did for Blanc. "This is odd...There's only one thing that can do that-"

"And if you're thinking that, that thing is the same thing as to what I'm thinking...We have to tell Neptune. And FAST!"

Vert nodded and shut down her game in a nano-second. "Timer! What does the timer say?"

Blanc looked on her screen and she went pale. "Oh...Sh-"

Question really lies...How did the enemy get such a powerful weapon there in the first place?

[Planeptune Tower.]

Neptune blinked as she leaned closer to the edge of her tower's balcony edge. "What is that thi-"

Neptune couldn't see or speak as the timer reached '0' and the entire of Planeptune...

Lit up like a Solar Flare.

Just a thought I had in my head.
