++2 Weeks Later++
Planeptune had just launched a new console, one with the best tech that Planeptune could offer at the time. To those who like retro gaming in Planeptune were surprised and glad to see their CPU trying to do something about the city, but to those who had started to convert found this annoying. Planeptune's console failed miserably as the consoles from the other nations outclassed Planeptune's by years in advancement. The console being released to fix the problem, even a little, backfired and caused a small boycott outside the basilicom. Neptune was devastated at the outcome of the events which had transpired as she almost immediately lost half of the remaining population in what they liked to call "Neptune's Rip-off console". The speed of which the console was released caused problems which didn't go unnoticed by those who did buy the console. Complaints about the console spread across the Internet as people started to shame it. Those who didn't mind the faults used them to exploit the games which hurt Planeptune financially as people would digitally copy the games and sell them before Planeptune could officially release them giving people cheaper early access.
Everything that went wrong had gone wrong as the teams who made the console quit and sued Neptune for not being able to pay them as she had planned to use the money gained from the sales to pay the teams which had backfired causing a serious financial crisis as credits which were held in case of national emergencies were used to pay for the sue.
Nepgear had begun to feel the effects as well and became unable to HDD.
Neptune now stood leaning against the island in her kitchen, a frustrated and exhausted look plagued her face. She had been up for hours which hurt her badly since she was so used to sleeping 12+ hours a day. Neptune tried to contact B-Sha but she had apparently gone to a retro game convention across seas with Chuu-ko. IF and Compa had gone on a quest which, thanks to Histoire, was in another dimension so they weren't getting back any time soon. Neptune tried to get a hold of Noire, Vert, and Blanc but they had been busy, or so said their basilicom workers.
"What do I do now…" Neptune sighed as she had to make an effort to get up from where she was leaning and went to the fridge to grab something to eat.
"Neptune! There's a horde of Ancient Dragons attacking the city!" Nepgear shouted as she dashed into the kitchen.
A horde?.. YES! This could be my chance! Neptune couldn't hold back her smile as she looked to Nepgear whom looked to have the same idea.
"WE CAN USE THIS TO GET MORE SHARES!" They said in unison.
++Planeptune++
"AAAAAAH RUUUUN!" Citizens scrambled as the giant dragons stomped through the city crushing cars and burning down the nature.
"WHERE'S THE CPU?!" The citizens who had the same thought had been looking for a purple streak or something to show that their CPU had come to their rescue.
Neptune struggled to get into the downtown district of the city as her entire body was weakened from the low shares. Nepgear had to help her up every time but Neptune was persistent in fighting them. This was her last chance and she couldn't let it slip away.
Neptune spotted a large brownish wing which lit the burning fire in her eyes with fury and courage. She full sprinted towards the dragon and summoned her katana. She launched herself into the air and raised her Katana for a strike.
"EAT THIS YOU PIECE OF NEPPING-". Neptune almost didn't see it as the dragon's tail had lifted up and swatted her out of the air, crashing her through the building adjacent to her right side.
"NEPTUNE!" Nepgear screamed as she rushed towards the building only to have her route blocked by the ancient dragon's flames.
A tear trickled down Nepgear's cheek.
"Get out of my way!" Nepgear slashed her sword at the dragon and commenced combat.
Neptune lay in the destroyed office building, the desks and blockers used to keep privacy had been destroyed from her body being sent into the building. She felt something down her leg, which she looked to be something she thought would never happen again.
Is.. This blood?.. I almost.. Forgot.. What it was..
Neptune picked herself up, her adrenaline taking her mind off the injury as she ran towards the hole in the building to see Nepgear in a heated battle with the dragon.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Neptune shot out of the building and landing a devastating victory slash on the dragon.
The dragon was caught off guard, being sent crashing to the ground before being destroyed.
"Neptune!" Nepgear rushed to Neptune and hugged her in relief.
"It's ok , I'm fine".
"B-But you're-".
"It's ok". Neptune held Nepgear as close as she could.
Just as Nepgear was about to start crying of happiness, another ancient dragon appeared from around the corner.
"DO YOU MIND?! WE'RE HAVING A MOMENT!" Neptune let go of Nepgear and rushed to the dragon.
"Cross Combination!"
Nepgear watched her sister fight valiantly before taking notice of something. The dragons that were attacking were all coming here, the center of the city, as if they were.. Running away.
Neptune finished off the dragon, having taken a couple blows, and crouched down panting.
"How many more ?" Neptune paused as Nepgear didn't respond. She looked over to the CPU candidate to see a panicked look on her.
Neptune followed her gaze to see 15 Ancient Dragons headed to them and one larger Viral Ancient Dragon.
You've got to be nepping kidding me…
Neptune readied herself to fight the horde, which even Nepgear saw as ludicrous.
"NO! NEPTUNE YOU'LL GET YOURSELF KILLED! PLEASE!" Neptune ignored Nepgear's pleads as she dashed to the monsters.
"I have to save Planeptune! Even if that means sacrificing myself!.. NEPTUNE BREAK!" Before Neptune could commenced her EX drive attack, a giant blue slash came down and destroyed most of the dragon's, leaving four left.
"Tanzerin Trombe!" A white blur shot to the Viral Ancient Dragon and one shot it.
"Rainy Ratnapura!" a green streak shot in and destroyed the remaining three monsters.
The CPUs became visible as Nepgear almost cheered in happiness.
The three transformed back into their original forms and walked up to the Planeptune sisters.
"Thank you Vert, Blanc, Noire!" Nepgear thanked the three CPUs.
Neptune had kept on staring to the where the dragon's once stood. Her eyes showing a sense of loss.
Where are they? Where are the dragons? I need to beat them, get my shares back up.. Where… Neptune turned around to see the 3 CPUs talking to Nepgear as Nepgear kept thanking them. Neptune, upon seeing this, gritted her teeth.
They…
"Hey Neptune, we heard you were in trouble so we came to help.. N-Not that I wanted to help or anything". Noire said. Noire waited for the bugging at her tsundere attitude, but was greeted with silence from the purple CPU.
THEY...
"Geez Neptune, you gonna be all lonely over there and not thank us? We did save your butt just a moment ago". Noire said as she crossed her arms waiting for a thanks from Neptune.
Neptune stood there, nothing happening, but on the inside she was having a mental breakdown. Something… snapped…
"YOU IDIOTS!" Neptune yelled before running off to the basilicom, tears streaking down her cheeks.
The four just stood there shocked at Neptune's sudden outburst. Nepgear getting the feeling she had to follow Neptune, said her goodbyes and chased after her sister.
The three were left confused before transforming and leaving the city back to their nations.
++1 Day Later++
The Planeptune news was filled with controversy as people had started to hate Neptune. Citizens who were caught in the attack were mad that the CPU hadn't done anything, which was a lie but nobody saw anything but the other nation's CPUs who had come to the rescue. People started to question the safety of Planeptune as even the guards at Planeptower had started to neglect their jobs and leave. Neptune's shares plummeted even further in response.
Planeptune Population = 12805
