{Chapter 1- Two of Us?}
"Hey what's up readers? Are ya doing okay? Play any cool games recently? I bet 5 cups of pudding you're wandering why a character is talking to you right now aren't ya? I'll just let the narrator fill you in with the details about that before we get into the story."
This is Neptune. A cheerful and happy teenage girl who often tends to break the fourth wall. Her appearance consists of short purple hair with white D-Pad shaped hair clips, purple eyes, a white and purple hoodie that covers the entire top half of her body, white leggings with turquoise stripes, and purple shoes. She is the human form of the Goddess 'Purple Heart', the CPU (Console Patron Unit) who rules over the nation of Planeptune. Although she has many responsibilities as a Goddess, she is constantly slacking off and lives a carefree life. Though one might say it's her personality that has allowed her to make many good friends, whom she'd do anything for.
"Hey narrator guy, you think you could hurry up and finish introducing me? This game is getting pretty boring and I wanna start the story already. Besides I'm pretty sure everyone already knows me pretty well. I mean I am the adorable main character of the greatest and most awesome RPG series ever."
Well there are newcomers to the series Neptune and plus introductions are essential for the reader's enjoyment. Why do you think they do it at the beginning of every Hyperdimension Neptunia game?
"Yeah I know that but can we just skip mine for now? I really wanna just get the story started already."
Fine Neptune. Have it your way. It was a bright and sunny day in Planeptune. It was peaceful and all the citizens were living their happy everyday lives. At the NepTower things were going as they usually did. Neptune was still goofing off and ignoring her duties as a Goddess.
"Come on Goku I could really use your help right now! Cell is mopping the floor with me over here!"
Neptune yelled at the fictional character on her TV. She was currently playing a videogame called 'Dragon Ball Xenoverse' she found in her closet that she believed to be lost.
"Hey Sis, can I talk to you for a sec?"
Nepgear said while entering the room.
"Take this, KA-ME-HA-ME-HAA!"
Neptune didn't hear her question or notice her enter the room for that matter. She was so engrossed in her game that she wasn't paying any attention to her surroundings. Upon noticing she wasn't paying her any attention, Nepgear walked over to Neptune and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey Neptune." She said in a calm voice.
"Oh sorry Nep Jr. I didn't see you there." Neptune replied diverting her attention away from the game to Nepgear.
Nepgear is a teenage girl with long purple hair and a D-Pad shaped hair clip, purple eyes, a white and purple long sleeve sweater that resembles a sailor uniform, white leggings with pink stripes, and white and purple boots. She is Neptune's little sister and the CPU candidate of Planeptune. Also she is the human form of the Goddess 'Purple Sister'. Due to her sister's laziness she takes up most of the work and keeps the nation running well. Occasionally she is mistaken as the older sister because of her work ethic and maturity. She is also a kind soul who is willing to help out those in need without hesitation.
"It's all right. I have a message for you from Noire." Nepgear said, handing Neptune a touchscreen device.
The text on the screen read:
" Dear Neptune, while I was out doing a quest I came across something very unusual. I need you to meet me at my basillicom immediately. If it's possible I'd like you to bring your sister as well, I think we'll need her help with the situation. I'll fill you in on the details when you arrive. That's all I have to say for now. Goodbye."
"Sounds like it might be something important if she's asking me for help of all people. I mean Noire never asks us for help." Said Neptune.
"I know. It does seem kind of weird for someone as independent as Noire to ask us for help, but I think we should go see what's going on. She is our friend after all." Nepgear said as she activated HDD (Hard Drive Divinity) and in a brilliant flash transformed into her Goddess form.
When transformed Nepgear's appearance changes somewhat. Her hair becomes a bright shade of pink and she wears a white battle suit that resembles a one piece bikini, white elbow length gloves, and white knee high boots. Her eyes also change blue and her pupils look similar to a 'Power On' button.
"Yeah that's true and all but I get the feeling your just using that as an excuse to visit your sweetheart Uni. Aren't ya Nepgear?" Neptune said with narrow eyes and and a sly grin.
"Hehe was is it that obvious?" Nepgear asked with a slight smile and a bead of sweat running down her cheek.
Neptune didn't respond to Nepgear's question immediately. Instead, she just transformed into her Goddess form as well. Now in Neptune's case both her personality as well as her appearance take on drastic changes. Her hair grows below waist level and becomes 2 braided ponytails in the back, her bosom increases to about a D-Cup, she wears a black and purple battle suit that resembles a one piece bikini with long sleeves and gloves, and black and purple knee high boots. Now as far as personality goes, her childish carefree nature is replaced by a mature and serious demeanor. Some might say she changes into an entirely different person whenever she transforms.
"Yes it was pretty obvious. Although I can't say I'm any different. I've been waiting for an opportunity to visit Noire and now I have a good reason to." Purple Heart said as she walked out of her room, onto the balcony and activated her wings. "Well shall we get going?" Neptune turned back to her sister and asked.
"Mm-hmm." Nepgear nodded with a smile.
After about 30 minutes of flying, Neptune and Nepgear finally crossed the border into the nation of Lastation. It was a nice and prosperous country that had many things to offer. All of its citizens adored their hardworking and strong Goddess Noire,also known as 'Black Heart'. After a short while the siblings finally reached Lastation's basillicom, a very large building in which Noire and Uni, the CPUs of Lastation, live. They were on the balcony awaiting the arrival of Neptune and Nepgear.
Noire is a hardworking teenage girl who is the CPU of Lastation. She has long black hair styled in twin tails, a fancy dress that ends near the middle of her thighs, semi-fingerless gloves that reach up her arms and black thigh high boots. Although she at times can be a bit cold towards Neptune, she is actually one of Neptune's closest friends.
Uni is Noire's younger sister and CPU Candidate of Lastation. She has black hair that reaches a little past her shoulders styled with two black hair ribbons, a short dress, and knee high boots. She is the human form of the Goddess 'Black Sister'. Uni is also a hard worker who dreams of surpassing her sister someday. She can be a bit rude at times but she tries to be kind towards her friends. Especially Nepgear.
"Aww, so you've finally made it Neptune, and I see you've brought Nepgear as well." Said Noire.
Neptune and Nepgear landed and reverted back to their human forms. "Yep, so what's going on Noire? Did something bad happen?" Neptune asked.
"That's the issue. I'm not quite sure if what I found is bad or good. Which is why I called you over." she answered.
"Huh whaddya mean by that?" Neptune asked as she placed a finger on her cheek, not able to understand what Noire meant by that.
"Well to begin with, while clearing out a bunch of monsters that infested a cave I'm currently mining at Uni and I found 4 big strange looking crystals that had silhouettes of people inside. We tried to shatter the crystals and free them but they were so hard we couldn't even put a scratch on them."
"So we were wandering if you guys could give us a hand and help us free them. We're worried there might be citizens of Lastation trapped inside those things." Uni chimed in.
"Sure we'd be glad to help you guys out." Said Nepgear with a smile.
"All right then, let's get going everyone." Noire said, transforming into her Goddess form.
In Goddess form, Noire's hair becomes milky white and her twin tails become undone, letting her hair flow down her back, and she wears a black trademark battle suit that resembles a one piece swimsuit with sleeves, sharp gloves, and black knee high boots.
Uni proceeded to transform as well. In her Goddess form her hair becomes white and is styled as two giant pigtails on each side of her head, and her outfit is similar Noire's, except her gloves aren't sharp at the fingers.
The four then headed off to the cave after Neptune and Nepgear transformed. After a short while they arrived at the mining cave. They encountered a few monsters along the way but quickly took care of them. Then after going deeper into the cave they finally reached the crystals.
"Here they are. Let's hurry and get them out of there." Said Noire as she readied her sword.
"Right." Said Purple Heart as she gripped her sword tightly.
"Everyone attack with everything you got on three." Uni ordered, pointing her large rifle at the crystals.
"One...two...THREE!" she yelled as she fired her weapon.
The other three Goddesses lunged full speed and attacked the crystal Uni fired at, shattering it in the process. A small girl then fell to the ground in the middle of the rubble. She had purple hair similar to Neptune's Goddess form and similar clothing as well. Her eyes fluttered open a few seconds later as she lifted herself up to get a look at her surroundings. Her eyes looked exactly like Purple Heart's.
"Is that...me?" Said Neptune, stunned at the sight before her. The girl before them looked exactly like a tiny spitting image of Purple Heart.
"That's odd. She looks like a bite-sized version of you when you transform Neptune." Said Noire.
"I know, I was thinking the exact same thing." Neptune responded. "Hey, may I ask what your name is?"
"Who me? Oh my name's Neptune. It's nice to meet ya lady. Thanks for busting me out of that thingie. It was really cramped in there." The girl said happily as she stood and stretched her arms. Her eyes then traveled to Noire. "Whoa! Noire when the heck did you get so big!?" She jumped back in shock and pointed a finger at Noire.
"What in the world are you talking about child?" Noire said, surprised by the girl's sudden outburst. "And how do you know my name?"
"Huh? Whaddya mean how do I know your name? We've been best buds for like a long time." The girl said with a puzzled face. "Did you hit your head or somethin' after we fell through the portal?"
"Wait a minute. Portal? Could that mean she's from another dimension?" Said Nepgear.
"Well that would explain why she knows Noire's name and why her appearance startled her, but if that's the case wouldn't that mean that one of the other three crystals could be holding a girl that looks like Noire as well?" Uni asked the group.
"Only one way to find out." Answered Neptune. "Excuse me, but could you get away from those crystals for a second?" She asked the girl.
"Okay!" She sang and distanced herself from the crystals.
The four Goddesses then proceeded to shatter the remaining crystals using the same method as before. Then three girls fell to the ground and opened their eyes shortly after, and just as Uni predicted one of them looked exactly like a little girl version of Noire's Goddess form.
"I don't belive it Uni was right. There is another me here as well." Noire said with a shocked expression. She then turned her attention to the remaining two girls. One of them had short blue hair, red eyes, and wore a white trademark CPU battle suit. The other had long green hair styled in a ponytail, purple eyes, and a white CPU outfit as well.
"NOIRE!" Little Neptune yelled as she ran to Little Noire and tackled her to the ground with a hug. "I was starting to worry about you. I'm so glad you're okay."
"Oww! That hurt you dummy!" Little Noire responded in an annoyed high pitched tone.
"Hehe, I'm sorry about that. Hey look it's Blanc and Vert too!" She said with a wide smile, pointing at the other two girls.
The blue haired girl looked over at Little Neptune and said, "Hey Neptune, where in the name of Nintendo are we?"
"I dunno Blanc, I think we traveled into the future or something because me and Noire got really big. Our boobies got huge too." She said pointing at the adult Purple Heart and Black Heart.
The green haired girl then turned her attention to the other group of individuals. "Whoa there really are people who look like Neptune and Noire here. It's like that game when Sonic and Tails went back in time and met little versions of themselves." She said as she put a finger on her cheek. "Hey Neppy, ya think there's another me here too?" She asked little Neptune.
"I think so Vert, maybe there's another Blanc here too." She responded.
After processing the current situation, two things had become clear to Neptune and the others. One, these children were definitely them from an alternate dimension, and two, something needed to be done.
"Well we can't just leave them here I suppose." Said Neptune. "Is it all right if we take them to your basilicom and figure out what to do from there, Noire?"
"I guess that's all right. I do have a lot of questions for them anyway." Noire responded.
After some time passed, they all left the cave and headed for Noire's basilicom via flying.
Though little did they know that a few hours after leaving another crystal fell from a portal and landed in the cave. After a few moments it began to crack as it twitched and moved. Then a light filled the inside and soon after it shattered into pieces from an explosion. The person inside was an unknown angry looking girl who had short black hair styled in a bang over one eye, grey eyes, and a black CPU battle suit. She stood from the rubble and scanned her surroundings. "Now where did those bastards go?" She growled in anger as she smashed an entire boulder with just a swing of her hand. "Those four are so freakin dead when I get my hands around their necks." She then walked through the cave searching for the four girls who'd arrived earlier. Her goal, eliminating them from existence.
