"I hope we get along too Miss LilacHeart." greeted by Nepgear.

after that Neptune explained LilacHeart's situation to Nepgear and boy she was surprised...a CPU without nation who lives in the middle of nowhere(virtua plains)but what surprised Nepgear the most is LilacHeart's gadget or device called the NepBarrier and she wants to examine it how it works her eyes are sparkling with curiosity.

"I know you are excited and all Nep. Jr. but we need to help "Lily" here first before you can start fiddling with the NepBarrier." Neptune who just snapped Nepgear's out of her daydream mode.

"Oh?! right sorry." Nepgear apologized.

"uhmm." LilacHeart joined in the conversation. "May i ask who is Lily?" she looks at Neptune.

"that's your nickname!" Neptune quickly replied.

"that's a cute name Lily!" Nepgear commented.

"*blush* right...i think so too." LilacHeart who is now named as Lily.(that's what everyone else will call her now including myself.)

"well then, now that's all settled for realsies. let's get crackin~." Neptune did a fist pump.

"Nep. Jr. i want you to put that NepBarrier to our Basilicom(to be more specific she is referring the Nep Sisters room)."

"Eh? but wouldn't that be bad? won't she drain our shares if we put it there?"

"No the NepBarrier doesn't work like that." Lily retorted.

Lily explains to Nepgear how the NepBarrier works(or rather me instead.) the NepBarrier is able to generate shares depending where it's been placed and it doesn't have any kind of side effects like draining shares from another CPU like what Nepgear mentioned earlier because Lily knew it would be a dangerous device if it falls into the wrong hands. so she decided to make at least 5 of them that only works exclusively for her only. meaning that only she can recover her shares.

"Oh i see...sorry i didn't mean to speak ill of you."

"it's alright i understand your concern."

"uhmm...can we just go and do this already? i wanna go home and eat my puddings." Neptune got impatient not minding the serious conversation between Lily and Nepgear.

"Oh." said both at the same the time(Lily and Nepgear)

"Right...Here you go Nepgear. please take good care of it." Lily handed her spare NepBarrier.

"I will Lily you can count on me!" Nepgear happily replied.

Nepgear transformed into her HDD form and left the other two to set up the NepBarrier to Planeptune's Basilicom. while they are waiting. Lily wondered what would Neptune look like when she transformed into her HDD form. will she be like Nepgear's? or something else Neptune offered her to show her HDD form but she refuse she knows that(well technically told by Neptune)Neptune can't just transform just because she wanted to see what she looks like, she feels bad if Lily accepted her offer transforming just to show off, something she would never do, while Lily wonders about Neptune's HDD appearance, Neptune received a message from Nepgear that she placed the NepBarrier to the Basilicom.

"Awesomesauce! that's my Nep. Jr." Neptune Praised Nepgear for a job well done.

"Ah...wait before we leave i better get the other NepBarriers i placed here it's not that far, be right back." Lily then went quickly to retrieve her belongings(the NepBarriers).

After a while Lily returned from her small errand.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Neptune, shall we go?" Lily asked.

"*nod* yeah let's-a-go!" Neptune happily replied.

Lily then saw Neptune transformed for the first time and, she was astonished...amazed that she didn't expect that Neptune would actually turn into an adult much more mature than Nepgear's HDD form, not to mention.

"This is my CPU form...PurpleHeart"

Her voice deepens as well, Lily was convinced that she is no longer the Neptune she know. the person or rather a goddess who is front of her right now is a whole different person.

"is something wrong Lily?" a worried PurpleHeart spoke.

Lily was spacing out due to how beautiful and elegant PurpleHeart is, she has been calling out to her multiple times already(deja vu?)

"oh..." Lily snapped out of herself. "Sorry...your appearance is just different from what i portrait. i thought that you be similar to Nepgear's"

"i get that a lot from my friends."

"well...shall we get going? Nepgear is waiting for us."

Lily nodded in agreement with PurpleHeart as they flew up and left Virtua Plains.


Up in the skies near Planeptune...

Lily made a mistake...a mistake that put herself in danger...because she didn't collect enough shares to travel(well Planeptune is not far from her location(Virtua Plains), didn't expect to leave so soon and now she is starting to feel weak, her eyes getting blurry, she couln't focus on what's ahead of her, sooner or later Neptune would notice this who is now far away from her. she didn't want to trouble her, but with her current state, well she is gonna cause her trouble now that she is starting to(yet again)lose her sight of Neptune...

"(not good...i'm blacking out...sorry...Neptune)"

Neptune who is oblivious to Lily's situation, looks back and notice that she is way ahead of Lily...she then notice something was off Lily is suppose to be near her she thought that was she flying too fast? or was it something else? then upon close inspection Lily was slowing down unable to keep up with her. Neptune suddenly remembered what they talked about(read chapter 1 if you haven't)earlier. she realized too late and felt bad for suggesting such an idea not to mention she completely forgot a very important one. but she didn't have the time to think about it now because Lily is starting to fall down and she has to take action and fast or else Lily would be badly injured. so she made a quick swift move to catch Lily.

"Got you!" PurpleHeart catches Lily in time(well she is not that far).

"Lily...Lily! wake up!" PurpleHeart calls out to Lily who is still unconscious.

slowly but surely Lily starts to gain her senses.

"*waking up* mmm...huh?...Nep...tune?" Lily weakly respond to PurpleHeart.

"Phew...you're okay we are almost there Lily just hold on a bit longer." PurpleHeart felt relieved that Lily is still with her.

PurpleHeart then flew faster because Lily is still not out of the woods yet.


After few lines here and there they finally reach Planeptune's Basilicom, PurpleHeart landed at the balcony(which is connected to their room by the way)and never bothered transforming back because it was an emergency. she called out-

"Nepgear! where are you?!" PurpleHeart shouted.

"Over here Nep- What the goodness?! what happened?!" Nepgear(who is now in her human form) was startled of what she saw.

"i'll explain later where did you put the NepBarrier?" not minding her sister's startled state, PurpleHeart went straight to look for her objective that is where Nepgear put the NepBarrier she didn't wait for her little sister response. PurpleHeart is out of her character who is usually calm and collected in any kind situation. this was no different but she couldn't help losing a friend who will just "disappear" because of one "small" mistake she made. as PurpleHeart looks for the NepBarrier(well she could have found it easily enough if she wasn't panicking).

"It's over there Neptune." Nepgear points the NepBarrier that is just right near their bed(don't ask me please.)

"!" PurpleHeart notice the NepBarrier and what Nepgear said was true she then quickly put Lily to their bed.(nice and slow of course.)

PurpleHeart grab Lily's right hand and prayed that she is not too late...well she is not now that Lily is slowly recovering PurpleHeart can sense her Share Energy flowing back to her now that she is inside the NepBarrier.

PurpleHeart sighed in relieved. as things went died down(well more like PurpleHeart who finally gained back her composure)reverted back to her Human Form.

"geez...that was nerver-wracking i thought i screwed it up big time."

"What's with all this noise?" a loud yet calmed voice came from nowhere(you know who this is).

Neptune and Nepgear recognize that voice it's none other than...

"Neptune...what is going o- wait...who is that person?" Histoire asked.

"well it's a bit long story...so sit right there...well your already sitting, anyway it's time for some recap!"
