IMORTANT NOTE: This will take place after the Victory's true ending. So there will be spoilers.

One month has passed since Rei Ryghts tried to destroy the Ultra Dimension. After that attempt failed, reconstruction of the Ultra Dimension and Hyper Dimension (due to the Rei from there) went underway, but that is nearing its end. This does not mean, that there aren't any problems at all.

You see, this is not going to follow the dialogue in the Victory true ending before credits scene. This will be an alternative ending of sorts. It probably will not make much sense, but welcome to the start of a nonsensical Neptunia adventure.

- Meanwhile in Lowee... -
Within Lowee's Basilicom, Blanc was performing her usual routine of writing novels. "This is sure to be a best-seller. I just know it!" she thought to herself as she started getting into her groove. When all of a sudden…

''Your tea is ready, Lady Blanc! I'll just put it down on this table here!'' A loud, booming voice rang out throughout the Basilicom, and maybe even all of Lowee. Blanc's tea-serving robot and former Seven Sages member, Copypaste, had just broken the Goddess of Lowee out of her groove. Needless to say, she is not happy in the slightest.

''How many times did I tell you not to shout, dammit!?" Annoyed for getting interrupted for writing her novel, she thought: "Might as well take a break. I'm too tired to break him again. And even more tired of getting him rebuilt." Her mood improved somewhat after drinking some of the tea. "Hmm. Not bad. Adequate job.'' Drinking the rest of her tea, she was thinking that this might not be so bad once in a while.

''Hearing you praise me is what I do this for, buddy of mine.'' While the days were peaceful again, Copypaste couldn't help but think to meet with his old buddies from the Seven Sages again. Just one time, as a reunion.

''I'm going back to work now. Disturb me again, and I really will disassemble you for a third time.''

- Meanwhile at Lastation... -
''It's mostly case closed now, but we haven't really dealt with all the Seven Sages-related problems. We still haven't found a way to give those kids their human forms back... It really weighs on me... Anyway, I wonder what's going on over here...'' Noire walked back in the Basilicom with renewed resolve. It sure didn't help to give up now.

Mr. Badd was getting impatient. He wanted to share the great news with Noire. As soon as the twin-tailed Goddess walked in, he could not keep silent. He just wanted to spend more time with his daughters, after all. ''Ahem! You are tardy! Where were you wandering around at?!''

''Huh? Wh-What?! Why am I getting yelled at all of a sudden?!''

''Please calm down, father.'' said a little girl, who appeared from behind Mr. Badd with yet another little girl, who also tried to calm the aging man down. ''You startled Lady Noire.''

''But how can I remain calm at a time like this?!''

''Hmm...? Who are all these children? You didn't fall back into kidnapping, did you?!'' She could not believe Mr. Badd. After all, he came to them to help his research.

Mr. Badd was quick to rebut. ''How rude of you! My daughters. These girls are my daughters! They wanted to thank you for helping them return to their human forms.''

''We just wanted to thank our father and you, Lady Noire'' said both girls while bowing to Noire.

Noire was surprised. ''Huh...? Wait, what?! Th-Then, you were able to return them to their human forms?'' She felt a wave of relief wash over her. ''Um, that's great and all, but... How? How did this end up happening?'' That was the thing that confused her. Neither her nor Mr. Badd had found a way to let them transform back yet.

''Actually I'm not sure how this happened. I went out grocery shopping and by the time I got back, they were back to being humans. All they saw before they fainted was a very handsome man''

''A very handsome man? Who?'' She had an inkling of who it could be, but that was impossible, right? Why would he help them?

''That doesn't matter! As long as they're back to normal, that's good enough for me. Pardon us." As they left the Basilicom, Mr. Badd was planning on surprising his daughters with a gift later on. ''Maybe for old time's sake I shall contact the Seven Sages for one more business deal.''

- Meanwhile at Anonydeath's lab... -
''With that, I've cleaned up all the icky aftermath. I've repaid my debt to Noire, too. Now, whatever shall I do with my gorgeous self next...?''

- Meanwhile somewhere with eggplants... -
''Yo, granny, I finished packing up today's shipment, chu.''

''Silence! Do not call me granny! When we're in this place, you will call me president!''

''You don't feel like no prez to me. But you're working hard, growing these eggplants, chu.''

''Hmph. Say what you will. I failed before, but I have come to know the infinite possibilities of the eggplant! I'll investigate their potential thoroughly, so that next time those foolish CPUs will perish!''

''The power of eggplants, huh? As long as I get a paycheck, I don't give a rat's ass, chu.''

''Heh. I'll be sure to pay you the minimum wage we agreed on. Maybe even a little extra for overtime.''

''Hmm, that's tempting and all, but I have another job today, chu.'' As Arfoire saw Warechu leave, she somehow knew that the seven sages would reunite one more time.

- Meanwhile in the basilicom of Eden... -
Rei was starting to get worried about Warechu. ''Oh, no! What happened to him? Maybe he got caught up in some trouble?''

Abnes was quite sure that this rat would not get in trouble so easily. ''Don't be ridiculous. He's always at least this late. Just get started already.''

''N-No, we can't begin until everyone is present.''

''Uh, sorry to keep you waiting, chu.''

''Oh, Warechu! I'm so glad. I was worried about you.''

''Don't walk in here so carefree, rat! You're always late! Do you even care?!''

''I had another job, so, sorry, chu. And quit the ''rat'' name-calling! That is a vile rodent slur!''

''S-So, now that we're all here... Let's begin the meeting for the newly reformed Seven Sages.'' They did not seem to listen. Maybe I should try again.

''Why is the rat here to begin with? He's absolutely useless!''

''I help by being our mascot, chu! That alone puts our existences on different planes!''

''U-Umm. Our agenda today details how to enforce the proper laws in a world under the CPUs' protection. Excuse me, are you two listening?''

''Can it! This is no time for that!'' ''We don't care 'bout no middle-aged woman's agenda! Abnes and Warechu spoke up at the same time.

''But why?! Please listen to me!'' I guess it was time to take some measure. Maybe I should get a little crazy. Her usual flustered face twisted into the image of the psychotic CPU she once was. ''It certainly takes a lot of guts to ignore my command!''

''Whoa! I-I'm so, so sorry!''

''Whoa, you don't want to do anything crazy, chu! You're bringing back memories of that sadistic CPU!''

''Hehehe. We've all grown stronger, myself included. Once again, from the top. Let's begin the meeting!''

- Meanwhile somewhere in the Ultra Dimension... -
''Aw man, it's all peaceful now. So boring. Hehe. If I screw things up all over again from this place, maybe it'll be even more interesting! What should I do this time ...?''

''Oh, it's a super-giant fly!'' This was the moment where things changed. Normally Croire would have been caught by adult Neptune, but that is not the case in this story. As Neptune was about to catch Croire with her butterfly net, it appeared. An abyss wall appeared in front of Croire. To her left, another one appeared, followed by one on her right. Behind her a fourth wall came into view and the wall from below connected the four walls. The last wall from above sealed the cube. It looked like Croire was trapped. The cube with Croire disappeared, all within in a split second.

AN: I'd like to apologize for taking this long to upload chapter 2. I thought it would be a good idea to think of the full general story before I was going to upload chapter 2. Turned out this was not a good idea at all.
I already have a general idea for chapter 3, so it will take a lot less time now.
If you notice/spot any grammatical issues, please leave them in a review, so I can correct them.
