Disclaimer time once again! I don't own Hyperdimension Neptunia as it belongs to Idea Factory and Compile Heart while I own Nyx, Ame, Bushi, and this plot. Here's the answers to last chapters question: Ichiro Ogami, Sakura Shinguji, Erica Fontaine, and Gemini Sunrise. So congragulations to jmcdavid for getting one or more of these right. Now then...Let's Make It Showy!
A week had passed, and while Uzume loved her sister she was also discovering that sisterhood had some difficulties. In the past week Ame had tried to sneak out and find out and do a quest, gotten into arguments with Nepgear, as well as nearly destroyed the Planeptune Armory when she was testing out weapons.
"Ugh...man I didn't know how tough this could actually be." Uzume says slumped on a couch with Historie floating near her.
"Well not everyone can be like how Nepgear was. Blanc had issues with the twins pranking within the first few days, it took some convincing from Noire to get Uni to do a few things, and of course Nyx was overly curious." Historie says.
"Oh right. Speaking of Nyxsy have you heard from her?" Uzume asked her.
"Nepgear has, but you shouldn't be focusing on her. You need to focus on Ame." She told Uzume.
Uzume groaned "She's a handful Histoire! You've seen that. So what can I do?" She asked the oracle.
"Perhaps some discipline is in order then Uzume. You need to stop being leiniant on her." Histoire instructed.
"Yeah yeah I know, but how?" Uzume asked groaning.
Histoire was about to say something when the sound of a crash was heard as well as two yelps. Sighing Uzume hurried to the sound while Historie floating beside heard as they found the source of it to be from Nepgear's lab.
Walking inside they saw was a downed Nepgear with several broken glass objects around her, and Ame was sitting in a corner looking nervous.
"What happened here?" Histoire asked.
Nepgear groaned "Ame...experiments...glass shattered." she manages to say still feeling the effects of whatever had happened.
Hearing this Uzume frowned and looked to Ame "Okay Ame that's it. You're in trouble missy." she says hands on her hips giving a small glare.
"H-Huh? Why? I didn't do anything." Ame says.
"Don't give me that." Uzume says and sighed.
"I don't know why you and Nepgear can't get along, but she actually got hurt this time." she added on and heads to a small closet taking out a few things.
"I want you to clean up this mess Ame. I'll be back after we get Nepgear checked out." Uzume finished and then went to Nepgear and leaned Nepgear against herself as she left.
When they left and looked her over Nepgear had recovered "I'm so sorry for causing such a problem." Nepgear said.
"It's okay. It wasn't your fault anyways. It was Ame's." Uzume said.
Nepgear looked surprised "Oh my goodness no! It wasn't her fault Uzume." Nepgear says.
"Huh?" Uzume looked confused looking at Nepgear.
"Ame was helping me with a few experiments, and as I was adding a few chemicals the reaction of said chemicals made the glass beaker explode causing others to and scatter." Nepgear explained to her.
"Is that true?" Histoire asked.
Nepgear nods "Oh my goodness I hope she's okay. She was right next to me when the beakers exploded." She then says concern.
Hearing this Uzume headed off to check on Ame now worried as Histoire stayed with Nepgear "Nepgear umm...Uzume is under the impression that due to the arguments that you and Ame perhaps have a dislike for the other." Histoire says.
Nepgear shakes her head "That's not true. We haven't been arguing at all." Nepgear said.
"But what about the time she came at you with one of your weapons?" Histoire asked her.
"We were about to spar when Uzume interupted us." Nepgear says and Histoire frowned a bit.
"While I'm mad you two were going to spar outside the training area that explains why you looked ready yourself." Histoire said in understanding.
"Though what about all the other times?" She then added on.
"We were just playing Histoire. We were never arguing." Nepgear says.
Histoire nods "That puts things into a different perspective." she muttered, and Uzume returned Ame holding her hand.
"I'm sorry Ame. That was uncool of me to jump to conclusions." Uzume said.
"It's okay." Ame says as Uzume started looking her over again.
Histoire sighed "I think you need some help Uzume." she said.
"Yeah I do, but not to sure about going to Nepsy about older sister issues." she replied.
"What about Blanc?" Nepgear asked.
Uzume froze at this "No." she said plainly.
"How about Vert?" Histoire suggested.
"She may have in a way adopted Ram, but that doesn't make her an older sister." Uzume said to them both, and their was also the possibility that Vert would try and steal Ame away from her.
"Well then that just leaves Noire." Nepgear said.
Uzume rubbed her chin at this "Noire did take care of Unisy for a while before ASIC captured her, and then of course their's Nyxsy." she thought.
"Well she does have more experience in being a big sister. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask for help from her." Uzume admitted as Ame looks at them confused not having met the other CPU's or Candidates.
"I'll call her." Nepgear said and walks away.

In the CPU office of Lastation the CPU, Noire sat typing away as quick as she could. Over the past year she had changed a few things about herself first of which was her appearance. She had dyed her hair to a dark red orange, and while it was still kept up in twin tails it was shorter than before smaller bangs framing her face and red eyes as blue ribbions held her hair in place.
She now wore off the shoulder style dress that is primairly black with sections of dark blue on the chest, waist, and on the back. She also wore a layered skirt that is primairly black with blue lining and tied gold laces on the shirt and around the chest of the dress as well as lining around the neck. She wore long navy blue fingerless gloves as well with gold laces to hold them in place along with navy blue and black ankle high boots with gold designs on the sides.
It was then that the N-Gear X rang, and thinking that it was Nyx she instantly picked up "Hello this is Noire." She said
"Hello Noire. It's Nepgear." Nepgear replied surprsing Noire a bit.
"Oh hi Nepgear. I wasn't expecting to hear from you. I thought you were Nyx." Noire replied sheepishly rubbing her head.
"Yeah I miss her to, but at least we know she's doing fine. Though umm...Uzume needs your help." Nepgear said.
"Really now? Why?" Noire asked.
"Right. I guess you didn't see the annoucement and all. Uzume has a little sister now Noire." Nepgear told her.
"That's some news. Though why would she need..." Noire starts then stops.
"Nevermind. I understand." She then says.
"Oh thank goodness. Do you think it would be possible for you to come over to Planeptune?" Nepgear asked putting a hand to her chest in relief.
"Sure. I've actually just finished my work for now, and it's been a while since I've seen Uzume. Let me just leave a note for Kei and K-Sha should either stop by." Noire says getting up from her desk and hangs up then does as she said writing a note.
She would then open the nearest window and transform flying out heading straight towards Planeptune. It took her a little bit, but when she did get there and into the basilicom she saw Uzume was with a young girl who from her appearance assumed was hte little sister that Nepgear mentioned.
As Noire walked up the young girl noticed and tensed which Uzume noticed and turned in the direction that she looked and saw Noire which she waves over.
"Hey it's cool sis. This is one of the other CPU's." Uzume told her as Noire came over returning the wave.
"Hi Uzume. It's good to see you again." Noire greets then gets down on eye level with the younger girl.
"So who is this Uzume?" she asked.
Uzume rubs the young girls head "This is my little sis Ame. Though I you already know that since Gearsy got in touch with you." she said.
"Still a good thing to ask." Noire replied.
She then turned to Ame "Hi Ame my names Noire. It's nice to meet you." She says to her.
"Umm...Hi." Ame squeaked and Noire smiled then looked to Uzume.
"So you wanted to talk?" Noire asked.
"Oh right yeah I did." Uzume recalled then looked to Ame.
"Hey Ame how about you go play with Nepgear?" Uzume suggested.
"Okay sis." Ame says and walks off to let her sister be.
=HDN=
Ame headed to find Nepgear as she walked around the basilicom trying to figure out just where the other Planeptune candidate was. She did eventually find Nepgear who was back in her lab despite the incident earlier.
As she came in she heard her talking with someone on the NGX "Your really coming home today? Isn't it a bit early though?" Nepgear asked sound both excited and nervous.
A girl giggles on the other end "It might be early there, but you know how time works in other dimensions and all sometimes. Plus it's about time that I came home. Noire probably misses me." she says.
"Umm...Nepgear. W-Who are you talking t-to?" Ame asked getting Nepgear's attention.
"Oh Ame!" Nepgear said surprised.
"Ame? Who's is Ame?" The girl on the other end of the NGX asked.
"Uhh...Well you'll both be meeting each other soon so I don't think I should tell either of you. Oh, and Noire is here in Planeptune so might be best you come here." Nepgear says looking back at the NGX.
"Oh that makes things simple. See you in a few Nepgear." The girl says and the NGX goes to it's main screen.
"W-Who was that?" Ame asked again.
Nepgear on the other hand remained quiet smiling as she still wasn't going to tell Ame just who it was that she had been talking to. A few minutes later a black and purple whirlpool like vortex appeared.
A few seconds later someone came walking through that was familiar to Nepgear "Ahh...It's great to be back home in the Hyper Dimension." the girl said.
Ame looked at her confused as Nepgear looks to her and nudges her forward "Umm...H-Hi there miss. I'm A-Ame Tennouboshi, and a-a Planeptune CPU C-Candidate. Who a-are you?" Ame asked.
The girl smirked "My name is Nyx. CPU Candidate of Lastation." she says introducing herself.
And CUT! The chapter is done and over with, and of course I said that I'd bring back Nyx. Though she is going to be more of a support character in this story given the focus will be on the new girl Ame and Uzume. As for giving Noire a small makeover that was is meant to show that she is trying to change and branch out a bit. It was also inspired by the fact that I recently had been at a convention, and had some ideas floating in my head. Anyways the time has come for a shout out question! Here it is: What is the name of the female dragon that is a co-stars in the Legend of Spyro games, and the female dragon that appears in the game Spyro A Hero's Tail? Until next time this has been decode9!
