Hey everyone, sorry for the long wait to this chapter so please let me say afew things before we get started. First of all last chapter I called the boss "Dog Monster", this is due to the fact I could remember what Uzume referred to the boss more than the actual bosses name (She grows on me), I will begin referring to the boss by it's true name from here on out. Secondly, the wait was essentially a mix of personal life, wishing to see if any reviews would pop up and slight laziness. Regardless this chapter will focus mostly on the fight between the newly revived and improved Slaymon (Which will be called Corrupted Slaymon).

Without further ado, let's get the show moving again!

"ZERSTORUNG!" Blanc's hammer smashes into the torso of the tainted and corrupt version of Slaymon, causing the lumbering dragon-like monster to be knocked back afew meters but no further due to the corrupted slaymon using it's claws to dig into the ground. Righting itself, Slaymon looks at Blanc and the rest of the party before roaring loudly, charging at them with the intent to try and bite into their bodies. While most of the party moves well away from the fight, Blanc who is still in HDD state, Noire who is also in HDD state herself and Neptune stay to fight Slaymon.

"Hey Neptune, are you sure you want to fight again so soon after..." Blanc's words trail off, her mind still able to recall the scene of Neptune's wrath upon so many monsters.

"I can still fight Blanc, even if what happened before did leave me drained for a very short moment."Neptune reassures, Her eyes not moving away an inch from the form of this corrupted Slaymon which now prowls towards the three CPU's like a Panther stalking it's prey.

"Then what say we show this creature just what happens when you mess with three CPU's in their HDD form..?" Noire says. Neptune and Blanc nod in agreement and begin to try and encircle around Slaymon. Before they can fully surround him however, Slaymon quickly charges Blanc who doesn't react in time, headbutting her into a nearby wall.

"BLANC!" Neptune yells, moving her attention away from slaymon which said monster capitalizes on, using it's tail to bat away both Neptune and Noire in rapid succession into the same wall blanc hit, causing them it fall into a dog pile on top of each other.

"Argh, my back..." Noire says in slight pain, quickly trying to get up.

"YOUR BACK?!, YOU BOTH LANDED ON MY BACK!" Says the Irrate Blanc who is still being sat on by Neptune. Neptune quickly shakes her head before standing up and in a combat stance, which noire does the same.

"Slaymon wasn't THIS strong when I first started my journey..." Neptune says in a quiet voice, pondering if this is another change her choice has wrought.

"We can think about this with Histoire later, right now we must defeat slaymon.." Noire says.

Slaymon begins to get closer and closer but suddenly stops without warning. Neptune and Noire instantly are on guard but are shocked to see Slaymon suddenly gather a large amount of energy in it's mouth. Realizing what was about to happen, Neptune calls out the vast power she displayed before before grabbing both Noire and Blanc and seemingly teleports away with them as the energy is fired in a beam like blast not a moment later, vaporizing not only the wall but several buildings behind it.

Neptune, Noire and Blanc reappear afew meters behind Slaymon's back with Neptune Breathing lightly while Noire and Blanc behind her look at her in shock.

"What the hell was THAT!" Blanc shouts, clearly surprised at not only neptune's speed but also what Slaymon had fired.

"I don't know Blanc but I will not let him fire another one of those if I can help it" Neptune exclaims confidently, Her overflowing purple aura flaring ever so slightly as if reacting to her resolve. Before Blanc or Noire can say anything Neptune is gone again, Neptune reappears in front of Slaymon who reacts rather violently to seeing Neptune use this much power, seeing it as a challenge. Neptune makes the first move, slicing deep into Slaymon's left fore-leg causing it to roar in pain before head butting her back to gain some distance. He moves to try and bite Neptune but before he can get close...

"FALL SLASH!" Slaymon is hit across his back by Noire's Fall slash, causing it to draw it's attention towards the offending party. Slaymon sees Noire charge up another Fall Slash while Noire seems to be ready with her own.

"Gefahrlichtern" Noire uses her hammer to bat the Icy bullets towards Slaymon although one or two miss him. Slaymon roars and begins to charge up to Noire but is stopped by something grasping his tail, causing his attention to turn once again but it's eye widen visibly as it witnesses Neptune grasp onto it's tail tightly, with only a SINGLE hand.

"Where are YOU going big boy?" Neptune says with a smirk "I do hope you haven't just forgot about me..". Before Slaymon can react, Neptune pulls on the tail and starts to spin fast in a circle, causing the nearby undamaged sections of the wall to be destroyed as well as causing rubble to be caught up in the rapidly speeding whirlwind.

"ALL YOURS NOIRE, CATCH!" Neptune suddenly stops and tosses the corrupted slaymon in the air, giving Noire ample enough time to fire off her last Fall slash.

"Alright, it ends here.." The charged fall slash flowing from noire's sword flares as she jumps up into the air "FALL SLASH!" Firing off a large wave of energy, it hits Slaymon right in it's stomach before simply bursting out through it's back, causing it roar in agony before it suddenly turns into a black ball of energy which explodes harmlessly, ending the fight.

"Ha...Ha...T-that was a close call.." Noire says, returning to her human form along with Blanc who suddenly cries out in pain.

"BLANC!" Neptune and Noire grasp onto blanc, setting her down gently. The rest of the party begin to rush over and do what they can to help the three battle-weary CPUs.

(The next day)

Uni and K-Sha are on guard duty again, watching out for anymore stray monsters as the Past-Uzume and the rest of Gold Third have gone to find Umio.

"Compa, Sister, how is Blanc currently..?" Neptune says as she looks at the sleeping form of her Friend and fellow CPU Blanc.

Nepgear sighs and looks at her sister, now sort of used to seeing her in her HDD state longer than before "The injury to her back isn't causing her so much pain anymore but..." Nepgear bites her lip unable to finish what she was going to say but Compa finishes for her "It's unlikely she'll be able to participate in further battles until she can walk properly as while the damage to her back wasn't severe enough to cause her to lose her ability to walk, she won't be able to run without being in pain, it's honestly a miracle she could even do what she did back in that fight.."

Neptune sighs, knowing that without Umio who could possibly know of something to heal her back, Blanc is not going to be able to fight. Suddenly the non-CPU Neptune returns, having gone Hunting in order to bring breakfast to the rest of the gang.

"I'm back everyone, I managed to collect plenty of specimens for my Nep-note and gather enough meat for everyone here to enjoy!" This causes everyone to brighten up and even wakes blanc up from her sleep but before they can even get started..

BOOM!

From the dust is.. C-Sha

"Did someone mention Meat..?" C-Sha asks excitedly but everyone just simply looks at the meat-obsessed Gold third like she grown a second head, wondering how she even got here so quickly just from the mention of meat.

"Can we just get started on food, I'm famished" Future-Uzume groans out.

"Wait you're just a ghost right, do you even need food..? Vert asks, curious if their Uzume would even need to eat due to being a spirit.

"I probably need it to even be here on my own without the past me's body so YES, I do" Uzume says, hoping that is this indeed the right explanation for her hunger and not something..worse.

"It's Ready everyone, I'll just grab enough for me and everyone else and go" C-Sha gathers up the somehow already cooked pieces of meat before suddenly disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"...does anyone know how C-Sha had cooked the Meat so fast..?" Noire asks, dumbfounded at the meat that was only some seconds ago uncooked but now cooked to it's absolute perfection.

"Now I know how it feels to be everyone else when they say their sanity is slipping because of me.." Neptune says, causing everyone to simply begin eating and discussing things between themselves as if it were a normal day.

Or at least as normal as it can get now.

/Unknown Location in the Heart Dimension\

"So...Nepsy thinks she can get "Me" Back huh..?" A dark Purple haired version of Uzume ponders. This is Kurome and the other version of Uzume which is filled with hatred and has control of the Whirlpool of Delusion.

"Heh, They'll most likely count on me being unaware of what has happened so while it WOULD be fun to completely mix things up myself, Nepsy's choice itself seems to have caused enough ripples for me to watch them deal with." Kurome Smirks before closing her eyes to focus on something, She smiles and senses something VERY interesting within the Heart Dimension. She simply uses her powers to teleport towards the location of what she has sensed and smiles in a very Unerving way.

"Perhaps, I spoke too soon.." Kurome laughs with much glee, knowing that this time-line just got much more interesting.

In front of Kurome.. Lies the Slumbering forms of THIS timeline's CPU's and their Candidates, unaware of Kurome's plans.

And that's a wrap for this chapter.

Now then, Blanc will be out of comission for awhile about around the time for the CPU and Every candidate save for Nepgear to return to Hyperdimension but she will have one last fight before then, rest assured. As for the rest of the party not joining in, you'll find out why in the next chapter which will come out before the month's end. Lastly, Kurome's already aware of what's going on but is allowing herself to be strung along as she knows that they're counting on her being unaware (To which she is VERY much aware). Plus Kurome also has plans for This Time-line's version of the CPUs and their Candidates. Further more, The Older Neptune won't join Kurome this time round afew reasons but the main one is that the CPU-Neptune will need her help in completing this Journey and it can't be the Double-Agent form like last time.

Anyway my words here, but this isn't the end of the chapter as I have two Omakes in mind.

Let the Omakes roll!

(Neptune's Bathroom Issues)

/After the Corrupted Slaymon Battle\

"ARE YOU SERIOUS NEPTUNE?!" Noire exclaims, surprised at what she's just been told by Neptune.

"Yes noire, I really need to pee but I can't while in HDD state" Neptune says, trying to hold it in while looking at noire, her face begging for noire to give a solution.

Noire sighs, knowing that she has no answer to this as she never had to be in HDD state for extended periods of time like Her friend and fellow CPU Neptune.

"I know what you want me to say but I do not have a solution..Maybe Histoire can give you something" Noire Suggests.

"Great Idea, hopefully she'll know something" Neptune says in a relieved tone, still desperately needing the bathroom quickly grabs the Gem that holds histoires and runs off.

- Half an hour later -

"Noire, where is my sister..?" Nepgear ask, taking a break from healing Blanc's back.

"I don't know, she needed to go to the bathroom badly but in her HDD state she couldn't..." Noire puts cups her chin as if pondering something before speaking further

"Now that I think about it, she still hasn't returned... I wonder what has happened..?" Noire says. Her answer is given in the form of Neptune returning...only her face is blushing a crimson red.

"Sis..ster..?" Nepgear looks at the slowly approaching neptune wondering why she is so flustered. Neptune doesn't react to their presence stopping just a very small distance before finally reacting to her sister's words.

"Nepgear, I am never looking at a Cucumber the same way again...now if you'll excuse me...I need to faint" Not a moment after finish her words she faints, her face still very much blushing crimson.

Both Nepgear and Noire take a moment to connect the dots before their heads are assaulted with perverted images causing them to blush a bright red with their noses bleeding before they too faint.

Suddenly compa arrives and looks over the 3 Unconcious Girls.

"Gee they must of really been tired from today's events" Compa says Innocently Oblivious to what really occured and calls for some assistance to get them back to the camp site.

All three say not a word to each other for awhile until tomorrow, Neptune Unable to look at Noire and her sister without being reminded of how she had managed to go the bathroom, Noire and Nepgear are unable to look at Neptune without being assaulted by perverted images again.

- Omake End -

(The Mugetsu Show - Episode one)

Mugetsu: Welcome Everyone, to the show, I'm your host Mugestu and today we have Neptune and Kurome as our guests.

Kurome: Hello Everyone.

Neptune: Hey.

*Netpune waves*

Mugetsu: Since this is the First Episode, I'll explain what we do here, I'll be asking both Neptune and Kurome questions, be they concerning the story or not and they will answer how they will. Also this so will under no circumstance Impact the story itself regardless of any fourth wall breaking.

Kurome: It would cause far too many problems if this show were to be a part of the Story itself am I right Mugetsu..?

Mugetsu: Yes now then Kurome normally we'd be giving you and Neptune questions directly from the Viewers but considering this is the first episode I'll be giving the questions myself unless no one reviews at all or if in the event we won't get anyone asking the guests questions regardless of any reviews.

Neptune: I guess that is agreeable for now right Kurome..?

Kurome: Yea, although I do want to be in a later episode ok mugetsu..?

Mugetsu: Oh you'll definitely get one by the time we get to the Gold Third section of the Story.

Kurome: Very well, ask your questions.

Mugetsu: Very well *ahem*, Kurome what is your plans concerning this time-line's version of the CPU's and their candidates?

Kurome: Damn getting straight into the Meat of my plans huh..? Wanting to spoil it for the viewers..?

Mugetsu: Nah, you don't have to answer it directly, just give a push in the right direction and let them figure it out.

Kurome: in that case, I'll simply say that it whatever I'm planning will replace several events in the Heart Dimension Arc, that's all I'm saying.

Mugetsu: Very well, Neptune yours next.

Neptune: Ask away Mugetsu.

Mugetsu: What do you think of the Omake before-

Neptune: I REFUSE TO ANSWER THAT

*Neptune's face is blushing madly*

Kurome: Oh..? Did something happen in that Omake..?

Neptune: NO!

*Mugetsu Laughs softly*

Mugetsu: That was a joke question, I had no intention of getting to answer that one.

*Neptune simply glares, still blushing*

Mugetsu: Right then, the real question..

Mugetsu: Neptune, do you believe that your Human form is going to be the same after regaining it.

Neptune: I doubt it, I'm not stupid enough to believe that it won't be affected at all.

Mugetsu: Very well, Kurome you're up again.

Kurome: Ask already

Mugetsu: Do you think Uzume will be revived this time round..?

Kurome: ...No comment

Mugetsu: Very well, Neptune..

*Neptune Nods*

Mugetsu: Do you plan on trying to Improve your "Mecha-Nep" Blade or whatever it is called as I recall you can't use any other weapon in that state...?

Neptune: I think there might be a way although I think we'll find out by the time we reach Uzume's Hideout.

Mugetsu: Alright then, that's all for today everyone. Next Episode's Guests will consist of Blanc and non-CPU Neptune.

Mugetsu: If you wish to ask our guests any questions anything at all so long as it's reasonable..

*Neptune glares at Mugetsu when they say the word "Reasonable"*

Mugetsu: Just simply ask it in your review to this chapter, only 2 Questions per review and can't be asked in the Chapters 1 and 2 or the Prologue.

Mugetsu: Now then time to end the first episode with a bang!

*Mugetsu get up from their chair and walks in front of the Camera*

Mugetsu: Embrace thy Destiny, Mugetsu!

*A black metalic katana drawn from it's the sheath is the only thing that's seen for a split second before the signal cuts out*
