Mas was bored, she had just returned home from what she called "freelancing" and was alone in the house, although Compa was coming home from work.

Mas: So booorrrred.

She heard the door open and Compa came in with a small shopping bag.

Mas: Compa! You're home!

Compa: Yessy, and I got you something.

Mas: Really?

Compa: Mm-hm. But first.

She sat at the table with Mas.

Compa: Did you hear the news? There's a new CPU protecting Planeptune.

Mas: Nooooo. No way.

Compa: Yes. There is, one of my co-workers and Nepgear were both saved by her.

Mas: Does she have a name?

Compa: No one has substantial evidence she really exists, so everyone calls her "Rogue Heart"

Mas: Sounds kind of corny.

Mas: "Rogue Heart"? I like it!

Compa: I suppose it does... Here

Compa handed Mas the shopping bag.

Compa: I got it for you since you don't have any other clothes.

Mas pulled a teal dress out of the bag.

Compa: That's the only color I could find with your size.

Mas: Well it doesn't matter, teal's my favorite color.

Compa: Oh, then I lucked out I guess. Can I have the hoodie to wash?

Mas: Yeah.

Mas went into her bedroom and changed. She handed Compa the hoodie as she came out.

Compa: I'll wash this while you're gone.

Mas: Hmm? Gone where?

Compa handed Mas a grocery list.

Compa: Me, you, and IF will all be home tonight, so I figured I could make something special.

Mas: Ooohhhh. Cool.

Compa handed Mas a small wallet with enough money in it.

Mas: Be back soon.

Mas ran out, almost forgetting her shoes.

Compa: What a silly girl...


Compa was just about to wash the hoodie.

Compa: Check the pockets to make sure nothing is in-? Huh?

Compa felt a large object in the left pocket, she pulled it out, it was a pudding.

Compa: Strange... I don't remember giving Mas any... Of course there is plenty in the fridge...

She set it down and put the hoodie (along with a few other articles of clothing) in the washing machine and turned it on.

Compa: Hmm...

Compa looked at the pudding and noticed worn writing on the top.

Compa: Huh?

She grabbed it and looked close enough to be able to make out the writing, as a worn version of "Nep's"

Compa: How did Mas get this...

Compa remembered something.


Compa: Nep-Nep! Now isn't the time.

Neptune: Please, it's always time to sneak a pudding out.

Neptune grabbed a pudding out of the basilicom fridge and put it in her left pocket.

Vert: Neptune! Come along!

Neptune: Okay!


Compa: Wait... If this is Nep-Nep's hoodie... It should have an irremovable bloodstain...

She stopped the washing machine and grabbed the hoodie, sure as anything, there was the bloodstain in the hood from one of the many blows Neptune had taken from Yellow Heart.

Compa: Oh Mas... I thought we could trust you...


After IF got home Mas returned herself. Only...

Mas: Compa! I'm hom-

She was grabbed by a police officer the second she walked in.

Officer: You are under arrest! You have the right to remain silent!

As Mas was being taken away she looked back at Compa and IF.

Mas: Compa! IF! What's going oooonnn!?


The next day Mas found out what she was taken away for.

Judge: This is the matter of the people versus Utaimasu for the murder of Planeptune's CPU.

Bailiff: All parties have been sworn in, the trial can begin.

Mas was forced onto the stand in a prison outfit.

Judge: Let's start this simply, did you or did you not murder Lady Purple Heart.

Mas: No! No I didn't!

Judge: Let's see some evidence.

Compa: Yes your honor.

Mas: Compa..?

Compa handed the bailiff two things and he brought them to the judge.

Judge: Miss Compa, would you like to explain?

Compa: Yes your honor.

Compa stood straight up.

Compa: The two pieces of evidence presented are a pudding that Neptune slipped into her hoodie before a mission briefly before she disappeared, and also, Neptune's hoodie.

Judge: We have run a test, this IS her hoodie.

Mas: I swear! I didn't do it! Seriously I shouldn't even be here right now!

Judge: Silence, it isn't your turn to speak.

He paused for a few seconds.

Judge: Welp, I guess it is.

Mas: Seriously, here's your evidence! I didn't even exist at the time Neptune was murdered, at least... Not in this world...

Judge: What?

Mas: I was in the world beneath the surface! I lived in Narrow River Rock! I was killed and somehow came back to life in the middle of a field!

Judge: Young Lady that is the tallest tale I've ever heard.

Mas: Argh! You stupid idiots won't even pay attention to what I say!

Mas began glowing and the handcuffs she was bound in were snapped off.

IF: What the hell!?

Mas: Ohohoho, that's right IF. You people won't believe me, so I'll just leave.

Judge: And how do you plan to do that?

The back of Mas' hand glowed a deep, savage, blood-red.

Mas: Like this!

She transformed and knocked the Judge across the room.

Compa: Rogue Heart!?

Mas: Get the hell out of my way!

She flew through the ceiling of the building and off into the sky, police quickly pursued her.

IF: Sir are you okay?

Judge: Yes, just a little winded...

IF helped the judge up.

IF: What will happen to Mas?

Judge: No doubt she will be hunted down... She has officially achieved a high enough crime to receive a death-sentence.


Mas landed outside the city, in a few minutes the police arrived.

Mas: What the hell!?

Police: Put your hands in the air!

Mas: Make me!

Her hand began radiating dark energy.

IF: Mas!

Mas: Huh?

The energy disappeared and IF and Compa approached her.

Police: What are you doing!? She's dangerous!

Compa: Let us talk to her!

Mas: What do you two want?

IF: We just want to talk.

Compa: You're okay with that right?

The energy stopped.

Mas: Fine.

Compa: Listen, we're sorry, we shouldn't have accused you so fast.

IF: We'll clear this up, and we'll go home. I promise.

Mas: Yeah IF, your promises mean sooo much.

Compa: Mas, don't say that.

Mas: And why not?

IF: Mas, we get that you didn't do it. We just want to be a family again.

Mas: Really..?

Compa: Yes, and we'll take you home and never be suspicious again.

Mas: Are you serious..?

IF: Absolutely.

Mas: Okay...

Mas dropped her transformation and Compa reached for her hand.

Mas: Agh!

Mas had a collar launched onto her throat and she was grabbed from behind.

Police: Thanks for the distraction you two.

Compa: We didn't want this!

Mas was taken away.

IF: Mas! Noo!


That night IF and Compa sat down for dinner, disappointed, they hadn't been able to convince the police of anything, Mas was locked away wearing an anticrystal collar and was going to be executed in a matter of hours.

Compa: Mmm...

IF: Ugh...

IF slammed her hands down on the table.

IF: Why?

Compa: Huh?

IF: Why would you do this?

Compa: You believed me...

IF: Yeah well you managed to convince me. I said that "Maybe your just making a mistake, and overthinking things".

Compa: I...

IF: I can't even talk about this right now. You...

Tears ran own IF's face.

IF: You killed our child!

IF ran out of the house and slammed the door behind her.
