We have taken our previous positions once again...
"Ya know, maybe it's just me, but are we just gonna stand here and wait while Diana's in a room with a possibly dangerous person?" Neptune suddenly says after a few minutes.
She has joined the people on the couch, sitting reverse as well.
And that's totally not Neptune...
Actually, she cares about her friends...
Whatever. Neptune. Who knows.
"Do you wanna go in there?" I sarcastically ask.
Even if it's my sister, we have yet to hear anything and I doubt that they went to another floor.
"Sis, we haven't heard anything of them. It's gonna be all fine." Nepgear adds my thoughts to the conversation.
"Yeah, guess you're right. I'm not the one to worry anyways. That'd be you, huh?"
"Don't put it that way–"
Nepgear is interrupted by the creaking door opening... Why is it even creaking?
Diana stands in the door frame, a pretty much neutral expression on her face.
"Uh, she, wants to see you, Deniz." She says.
"What'd you tell her?" I ask.
"You know almost everything about this world and might be able to help with whatever her problem is."
"*sigh* Guess that's not entirely wrong. Also stop dragging me into stuff."
"What do you mean by that?!"
"You know what. Let's go."
I stand up. Nepgear looks back at me with a worried expression.
For a second I thought about saying 'What's the worst that could happen?', then realized that it's something really terrible.
"It's all gonna be fine." I reassure her, not actually helping her mood. Instead she's standing up as well.
"Can't I come as well?" She asks us. Diana shakes the head.
"No worries. I know what I'll do." I kiss Nepgear on her cheek.
She just nods.
Gosh, let's get this over with.
We enter the room C-Nepgear is waiting in.
She is patiently sitting there with a neutral expression on her face.
The Gehaburn is leaned against the wall behind her.
"Oh, back already?" She asks.
"Yes." Diana replies.
"Sup." I casually raise my hand to greet her.
"You... don't really seem threatened." She scans over me with her eyes. "Even I don't understand what I see in you."
"Neither do I." I deadpan.
"You're especially lucky then. Found a nice girl, and a CPU nonetheless, not having any redeeming qualities."
I ignore the last part. "Any other reason you called me here?"
She suddenly looks sadder than before.
"I've done something horrible... I don't think I can live with that..."
"World conquest, killed your friends and family, probably failed at some point after that and came to this dimension."
"Wow, you do really know a lot. Any suggestions?"
I'm not a psychotherapist. But...
"The sword is cursed. And it might affect your actions."
"You want me to destroy it? The only thing I have left of them?"
"I didn't say that–"
"Do you think I would do that?! They're all dead! The only thing I have left of them is this sword!" She jumps up from the chair and dramatically points at the sword. "How is that going to help me?! HOW?!"
I am just utterly confused by her sudden outburst and say nothing.
"Do you really– AHH! F*CK THIS SH*T!"
She suddenly grabs the Gehaburn.
I get ready to run as fast as possible and so does my sister who has been watching this the entire time.
But instead of attacking, she throws the sword at the wall with all her might, shattering the blade into a million pieces.
Only an instant later, she collapses onto the ground.
But no-matter-what, I still decide to run. Why that is, you ask?
Well, imagine the concentrated power of seven CPUs being released in an instant.
Diana realizes that as well, but she actually casts her Obsidian Shield spell onto C-Nepgear before following after me.
"WHY DID WE EVER COME WITH NEPTUNE?!" We both yell as we run down the corridor towards the others.
As we enter that room, we yell. "GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE!"
Wryn doesn't let us tell her twice, breaks the closest window and jumps out.
...
"Well, it's the fastest way..." Linda sighs and follows suit.
Not wasting any time, I and Diana are the next to jump.
...
We land safely on the ground (somehow).
Then everybody else lands on top of us.
They get off. And nobody is hurt... except us. We struggle to get up again.
Then we look up at the Basilicom to see a large explosion happen around the area we had just been in.
"...Well, at least we could prevent to worst." Histoire sighs at the destruction while some fragments of the building smash into the ground around us. "What happened back there?"
"She smashed the Gehaburn." I answer.
"Oh. Where is she now?"
I look up.
Gosh darn it.
*Neptune's PoV*
"Uh, I don't think either of them is okay..." Nepgear offers her concern and walks over to Deniz and her double, both unconscious on the floor.
Most of us just stand there, looking at what seems like a chance in a million.
That is if your name isn't Noire.
"Pfft, they're fine. Nothing bad has ever happened to them." I wave it off immediately.
"Uh, actually, Neptune, the last time, around this part in the story, Deniz almost died..." My sister breaks the forth wall.
"And prior to coming to this dimension he was knocked into unconsciousness quite a few times." Diana points.
"He's still gonna be fine. I mean, that was nothing." I still shrug it off.
"May I point out a bunch of you fell onto him right before that." Wryn's rival enters to conversation.
"And he was already struggling to stand up after that." Wryn does so as well.
"...Still... What else could possibly go wrong?" I comically ask.
"There you are." I ought to learn when to stop joking.
And it's the CFWs. Who else. I mean, it's not like the author could create any additional villains.
-Girl, I've crossed this thing over into Sonic the Hedgehog, Bleed, Splatoon and the real world. Gimme a break.-
Uuuuhhhhh, okay.
"Have you broken the fourth wall enough yet, we are actually trying to threaten you." Magic speaks up.
"You're not doing a good job with that." I simply respond.
"Have you not realized, that we are stronger than you?"
"I think you ran away last time, not us."
"Why am I even arguing?! ATTACK!"
Magic stretches out her arm with her scythe, not getting any response from either side.
She turns to her companions.
"Why are you just standing there?" Magic angrily asks.
"The, uh, gunners are here again." Brave explains.
"And?!"
"We couldn't even hit them before." He responds.
"THEN TRY HARDER THIS TIME!" She's already looking like some bad meme.
"What. Is. This?"
Not-Nepgear has woken up. And she's not looking happy about this.
Deniz is still out cold as it seems and Jr. is still checking on him.
"Oh, our lady–" Magic starts but is interrupted by the girl approaching her.
"Shut up. Other Gehaburn. Looks like I have to do this myself."
"What happened to the–"
"Broken. I feel better than ever now."
"Well then."
Magic takes out another sword and hands it over to who requested it.
"We will fight you if you intend to use it." Diana steps in.
"I'm very well aware of that. That's why–"
Not-Nepgear cuts herself off and throws the sword straight at Magic.
The CFW didn't even have time to react to the betrayal and is easily impaled by the blade, falling over in an instant.
"I won't be doing the same mistake twice..."
She looks at the other CFWs. "Any other volunteers?"
The other CFWs shake their head an run off.
CFW Magic's body soon despawns in a flash of light like it has done once before, leaving the now slightly glowing sword behind.
The 'owner' of that sword goes over to it and smashes it with her heel.
"Problem solved." She sighs relievedly.
"Sooooo... Did we both come here for naught?" Wryn suddenly asks while also pointing towards her rival.
"You were supposed to fight me, right? Then seems like it." My sister's look-a-like responds. "And, Nepgear, how is he?"
"He will probably wake up very soon... But what about you? You have nowhere to go, right?" Jr. answers, still sitting at Deniz' side... Like it was the most usual thing talking to basically, uh, yourself.
"I'll figure something out. You... should get him somewhere more comfortable..."
"Yeah..." Jr. looks up towards the Basilicom's top. "But not there... We still have some place in a lower floor anyways."
"The repair costs... again..." Histy seems to suddenly realize what this means for her. "And... ugh... Why does this always happen to us...? But, yes, we do have some rooms right on the second floor."
"Then let's get there..." Nepgear agrees. "But... Can somebody help me carry him...?"
A/N
I said the views have went down.
I did not say it was all too much, just ~10.
And I can also see why. So no worries. I'll just try my best. :P
And this story is coming to an end.
I will never f*cking plan anything for a story again.
THIS is nothing like I originally intended... I suck at planning even the simplest things...
Then again, a story is probably not all that simple to write...
