Why hello there, I know what you're thinking, why am I so handsome?
...
...
...
Oh that's not what you're thinking? Okay I'll start being serious, I didn't update sooner because of some real world problems, I apologize, but I found the time to finally do it, don't worry next chapter should be (in theory) posted in time, having said that let's begin reviewing reviews.
Decode9: Well, here it is the solo adventure with a rather good amount of action in it
Jerzu: Thank you, one of the things that the Neptunia universe can forget to do is either do a character development or forget that they did one with certain character, and one of those two will appear now (not now but in this chapter...you get me)
DavianThule19: Okay, nice votes.
Now let's go with the results of the first fave character votation.
1st place: a triple tie between Purple, IF and Neptune
Purple: Hold on! When they wrote Neptune they must have meant me, right?
IF: Believe me the author completely knew it and decided to do this, out of that, I'm surprised to be in here.
Neptune: Obviously the protagonist of Protagonists would be here!
Purple: ...What's that thing in your head?
Neptune: My trusty worthy D-Pad clips, you have them, you know?
Purple: Well yes but-
IF: Hey, the time is off and we must begin with the chapter, and in the name of the author I thank everyone who voted on last chapter, and now we begin with this chapter
Neptune: Legally speaking I should be in first place since you and I are the same.
Purple: Yeah, but the author is taking us as different people when it comes to this thing, in the story it should be obvious I'm you
IF: ...Shadic, care to do anything about those two?
Neptune: MHMMMHHMHM (Who put tape in my mouth?!)
Purple: MHMHHMH (Same thing here!)
IF: Now then, let's begin.

YOU HAVE CHOSEN:
GODDESS SOLO MISSION
Purple was currently jumping through the entire city she was in she was headed to a store in order to get some stuff for Chian. It sounds like an easy mission, and yet, she can't stop having a bad feeling, perhaps she was being too carefree I mean, there is people watching her and even some of them started taking a few photos, not like she noticed that last part.
What worries her is if Black Heart has noticed her, she may have grown stronger thanks to Purple Heart's training but she was still really far away from the Goddess with the strength of a demon, she can even bet that they haven't seen half of what she is capable to do.
She thinks like that because there's no way that someone like her could just do what Purple has seen of her. Purple Heart has told her about the Console War, a conflict in which the 4 Goddesses fought for supremacy and the tittle of True Goddess. Okay that was already bad enough; it appears that something happened to make the four of them despise each other.
The main problem is that apparently she was the main responsible, the spark that lighten up the fire, the bullet that made the kill, the-
Okay I think you get it by now, the problem was that she still has no idea of what exactly she did, when she asked Purple Heart about it she simply answered that her memories of that time were blurry.
She didn't realize she was already out of the city, she took one look behind to make sure Noire wasn't chasing her…and cool, she wasn't. After letting out a sigh of relief she continued jumping forwards in the platforms.
She could just go HDD and fly all the way, it would be faster, the thing is that there were two problems one of them being the promise between her and IF, and the second one is that if someone sees her and recognizes her as Purple Heart then it'll be from hard to impossible to keep hidden as a human, besides when the people of Planeptune start asking her to come back, she won't even notice the moment she's at the Basilicom doing…whatever CPUs are supposed to do.
Purple Heart also explained her that the Basilicoms are the places where Goddesses live and work, in other words it's their sanctuary, and one that is open to the public. She also received a few basic lessons from her HDD, there are four flying Landmasses in Gamindustri: Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee, and Leanbox.
-Hey-
Purple was brought back to reality by Orange's call "Yes, what happens?"
-I've been meaning to ask this, how can you talk so fluently now?-
"Purple Heart taught me, whenever we were taking a rest she would help me practice and even give me some advices" explained the Goddess with a smile
-I see-
"You can?"
-It's an expression-
"Oh…" they both were silent for a while, they honestly didn't have a talking topic in hand…oh seems like our dear protagonist, that's been missing for five chapter at least, has found a topic "How do you think me- I would do against Noire?"
-Being honest, if she fought you with mercy, she would humiliate you. And if she were to go all out then you would be annihilated faster of what you can eat pudding, which is bad-
That name, the mention of that glorious food brought her mind to the skies. And yes, she did put attention to how bad she would do the thing is that she was honestly expecting something like that to be the case.
-Oh I forgot you haven't ate it in a long time, you should ask Compa to buy you some because I doubt that IF will let waste money like that-
She wanted to keep thinking in pudding, believe me she wanted to, but soon enough she reached the end of the Landmass, she descended carefully, giving a small jump making the platform disappear, fall a little and make another one to make sure she won't land straight forward in the ground. She repeated the process a few times before finally making contact with the ground she looked around the edge of the place and noticed a little Landmass with a mountain in it.
'Maybe it's there' thought Purple looking around to find one of the vehicles used to go from a small Landmass to the main one, she walked her way there and hopped on the car…but it didn't start moving…she waited for a little longer…and nothing happened.
-Um…maybe if you turned around you could see what's going on-
She did as instructed and found a little machine in there she got off the vehicle and made her way to that machine. It was filled with a few buttons, one of them was for making it go forth and back and the other ones must be in case of any malfunction…the problem is that she didn't know which was which.
Purple had a dumb look as she was deciding what button she will press, if she pushed the wrong one the car could explode. Okay that wasn't going to happen but that's about how nervous our little loli Goddess is right now.
-…Are you seriously doing this?-
"Yes, I need to go there and I need of this thing" answered the Goddess still undecided
-Can't you simply use skywalk to get to the other side?-
Purple blushed a little, she could have done that since the beginning but for some reason she felt the need to get down and do all this waste of time, still she couldn't be left as an idiot just like that "Of course I can, me-I was simply waiting to see if you could have reached this conclusion" she stated proud fully.
-You can't lie to me dumbass-
"I'm not a dumbass, I'm an idiot!" she exclaimed stomping on the ground…it took her around ten seconds to realize the words she used "…huh…"
-As I said before, you are an idiot-
The Goddess frowned and walked to the edge of the Landmass taking a look down, the clouds were the only visible thing, it must be a really looooooooong fall, she gulped and walked away gaining some distance between her and the edge.
She sprinted at the edge of the Landmass and once she arrived there, she jumped "Skywalk!" a platform appeared on her feet as she jumped in it all the way to the little Landmass, platform by platform.
-Couldn't you've just jumped there instead of making…you know what? I'm not going to question anymore-
"Thanks" she made her way to the giant Landmass, and in that time an idea crossed her head, couldn't she simply skip the dungeon?
She had the ability to fly using skywalk, that would save her the problems of facing monsters that could probably end her life, and even if that dungeon didn't have any though opponent it was still going to be a loss of time. She wanted to end this as soon as possible, the reason is simple she wants to eat!
She's been out for at least a week, and when she woke up she went to visit Black Heart and test out one of her new powers, and when she came back to the hospital she laid herself on the bed and waited for a nurse or a doctor or anyone to check on her, that didn't happen until seven of the morning, where all she was given was a sandwich and apple juice.
She enjoyed the meal, but it was too little for not having eaten anything in a long amount of time. So she wanted to do a quick run in this quest in order to eat anything Chian is nice enough to give her.
Compa told her all the nice thing she has done for her and IF so she thought that perhaps she could also spare her a pudding or something else.
-I have another question, from where did you get the money to buy your team those stuff?-
Purple put a hand on her chin and started remembering the place from where she took it…
"I'm tired" groaned Noire barely awake "I need coffee, but it'll be a pain to make it in my current state…I know I'll ask someone to buy it for me but it won't be cool if I force them to pay…I'll give them the money to buy me a coffee of course, from my personal savings" she stood from her chair and opened one of the drawers of her desk, the one where she keeps her money, and instead of her personal money she found a note.
If you don't mind, I'll be taking all your money to buy a gift to both IF and Compa this is your punishment for attacking us out of nowhere, leaving us in the hospital and leaving two permanent scars in my body. Love: Purple J
PS: I received helped while writing this.

"…SON OF A BIT-
"…I found it on the ground" she was sweat dropping but managed to create an excuse of it.
-You did?-
"…Yes"
-You found at least a thousand credits because I know you still have something with you, on the ground?-
"…No, I took them from Noire" admitted the Goddess feeling guilty for lying.
-Thought as much-
"Aren't you supposed to be with me all the time, how come you don't know?"
-I was taking a rest-
"Oh" and again, they stayed without any topic to talk about for a long amount of time, where there was an incredible amount of silence "…Beep~Beep~Beep~Beep~"
-Please no-
"Ok…Purp~Purp~Purp~Purp~Purp~Purp~Purple"
-Please author use a time-skip!-
-Wow, he really did listen to my prayer-
As orange says that, Purple has arrived to a little city above the mountain, it looks awfully a lot like Lastation in the sense that is grey and black, the Goddess took out the phone IF gave her and checked the message sent to her, and luckily it had the address of the place…the problem is that she doesn't know how to arrive.
Soon she notices as well that the people nearby are looking at her, maybe because she just descended from the sky using platforms, just saying.
Purple got near one of them "Do you know how to get here?"
The person took the cellphone and read the address "Sure, you go left and then right and the store should be up ahead. This is a really small town so even if you get lost you'll eventually find it"
"Thanks" she placed the phone on one of her pants bags and made her way to the store.
She arrived at the place and went inside to see a lot of mechanical things and at the bottom there was an old man taking care of the cash register.
"Hello little one, how can I help you today?" asked the man nicely
-Don't lose time, just ask what they told you to get and leave-
"Me- I came to pick stuff for a nice woman called Chian"
"Oh Chian sent you here, sure give me a moment" he went to the back of the store to get the materials.
Purple looked around the place, there were a lot of things she didn't know for what they could be used just as there were other screaming that they were for some weapon, she kept looking around until she heard a giggle behind her.
She turned around to see the image of two kids looking around the place, this was already kind of weird since you usually don't see ten year old children in a mechanic store, but it got weirder as those two looked exactly like the kid IF and Compa she saw on that dream (?)
"Are you sure we'll find something here?" asked the little Compa
"Of course, and once we find it and we install it in my cellphone we'll be able to make an unlimited amount of calls for free forever!" replied kid IF with a secure tone
Purple decided to get closer to them, see what was going on.
-Don't-
She ignored Orange and got closer to them.
-You don't want to do it-
She was right behind them, both of them really appeared to not have noticed her, she was about to put a hand on kid IF's shoulder.
-Please, trust me you don't want to do it-
"…"
"…" Purple took her hand back, turned around and walked away
-You picked the correct decision-
She immediately fell due to having trip with an object that was on the ground making a considerable loud THUD gaining the attention of the two kids.
-…I should've expected this to happen-
"Nep?"
"Nep-Nep?"
The CPU stood up now having attracted the attention of the children who were looking at her in awe.
"When did you become so big?" asked the little Compa
"Yeah, a while ago you were just from our size" agreed kid IF
Purple simply stared for a while before rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing something that didn't exist, the moment she stopped and saw to the front, she saw IF and Compa back to their normal height and clothing.
"Compa? Iffy?" Purple now was sure that her mind was playing tricks with her.
"Nep…why do you look as if you had seen a ghost?" the brunette was confused to her friend's expression "and what's with those clothes?"
"Where is your parka you always dress?" Compa was as confused as IF
-Stop talking to them!-
"M-me…I…" some stuff started entering her head, words she didn't know, feelings she didn't know about either, her head hurt she wanted it to stop however, it didn't at least until IF talked to her again.
"Well knowing you probably you'll probably say something meta and out of place like "Plot convenience" or something like that" she put a hand on Purple's shoulder and the Goddess's pain suddenly stop "Come on, we have to get back before the replacement notices we are gone"
Compa turned at her friend and started scolding her "Iffy, please stop calling Crostie a replacement! She has been a nice person ever since she started taking care of us"
-Leave them! Run! I don't care neither me nor Purple Heart but just talking to them!-
"Anyways, let's go Nep, after all you're the one carrying the money…which now I realize that was a great mistake" IF had a dull expression at this realization "Next time I'll give the money to Compa"
"…Hai!" Purple's expression suddenly turned to her happy mood face, she turned around and started walking to the register to buy whatever they had come to buy
"Nep-Nep, I forgot to tell you something" the Goddess turned around to see Compa painted in red in various spots of her body, and IF on the ground with a sword stabbed through her shoulder all the way to the other shoulder. Compa had tears on her eyes and a smile on her lips "I still believe in you"
Purple was about to scream out of fear, anger, loneliness, guilt…guilt? Why was she going to cry for feeling guilty? Why did she feel guilty? She didn't understand it, and that only scared her more.
She put both hands on top of her mouth so no one could hear her scream, but man didn't she let out a lot of energy with that cry.
"Miss?" the Goddess looked behind her to see the old man with a bag filled with the things that Chian needed "are you okay?"
Purple returned her glare to the front to see that both girls had vanished and in the places they stood were now two feathers, a white feather in the place Compa was, and a black one in the place IF was.
"Do you feel alright?"
"…" Purple took both hands away from her mouth and panted a little before turning to the old man and nodding "Sorry, I thought I saw something that isn't there" …that was a little bit more fluent of how she normally is.
"If you say so, here's what she requested me" the lilac hair Goddess walked to the table and picked up the bag she went to get "Man, I didn't think that kid would hire such a young girl"
"Do you have a…close relationshep with Chian?"
-"Relationship"-
"Sorry, relationship?"
"Yes, guess you could say I am a really close friend to her father and then I became her step-dad" answered the old man with a smile remembering the good times.
"Then what happened to her dad…could it be-
A)He abandoned her for a selfish reason
B)He was arrested for something he didn't do
C)He got stabbed by a blue hedgehog doing a spin-dash
-What the- F-from where did those things come from?!-
The old man put a hand on his chin "I think that option C is the closest to what happened"
-HE CAN SEE IT?!-
"He died in a car accident when transporting materials for a new weapon his company was developing" the old man started explaining "after his funeral was held Chian's mother knew that it would be impossible for her to take care of Chian alone so I decided to help her by unofficially becoming her husband and Chian's new father"
"Unofficially?"
"I did that because I owed my life to that guy, but being honest I didn't love her woman so we decided to not make any official arrangement like a wedding or something like that" his smiled started disappearing but didn't finish to un-do "Of course her mother was the official owner of the company but since she didn't know of that we had to close. Time passed and eventually Chian decided to heredity the company of her dad and create the ultimate artifact he wanted to do, but she would do it on her own way. She changed the company's name to Passe and the rest is story"
"…You love her don't you?" the lilac hair Goddess had a smile on her lips "Even if you weren't her dad, you loved her just like the real one, and she loved you as she loved him, right?"
"That's correct" he recovered his smile and started to scratch the back of his head before yawning "Well, tell her that I say Hi, I'll take a quick nap besides today is supposed to be closed"
Purple understanding what was happening went to the store's entrance and grabbed the door "Thank you, suddenly me- I feel like, I understand Chian a little bit better"
"No need to thank me. Also, tell her that I wish her luck" The Goddess nodded before closing leaving "Chian, you found someone that really looks like you huh, when the moment comes I bet she'll choose her to be the wielder of that weapon…Chian will definitely choose her to wield the Fang of Light"
Outside of the store Purple walked her way through the town noticing that there was still a lot of light in the sky.
-It must be early still, maybe a little bit before 1PM-
'Yeah that may be right'
-I knew you would agree with me-
"Eh?" Purple was taken back by that she honestly didn't expect Orange to answer her thoughts.
-Surprised aren't you? Well I can also hear your thoughts so there wasn't any need for you to actually speak since the beginning-
'Why didn't you tell me?'
-I was waiting patiently to see how much time it would take you, nothing personal-
The Goddess thought about it and decided to ignore the fact that she is extremely slow for not having noticed this little quirk since the beginning…now that she took her time to think she noticed that she has a good set of quirks.
Immunity to electricity, the 32 bits abilities, Orange and Purple Heart, along with her natural talent and imagination
You wonder why I said imagination, don't worry one day you may find out.
-Let's go, we don't have all day-
Purple nodded and decided to try something out. She grabbed the bag and threw it into the air for this one to vanish, and a moment later the Goddess extended her hand making it appear in front of her.
-That's going so save us a problem, and raise some questions along the way-
She made the bag disappear one last time before jumping into the air and leaving the city using skywalk.
In the shadows of the city were two people watching Purple leave.
"Time for your act, Peashy"
"…Pea will do her best"
FLASH
Purple finally made her way back to the Landmass and was still moving using her ability, in order to not waste so much time doing stupid stuff that she knows she'll do if she gets distracted, she is currently above the forest she travelled to go to that little town.
-I'm rather surprised to be honest I thought we would have a difficulty or two-
(INSERT HAJIME NO IPPO OST 22: DREAD)
Purple and Orange suddenly felt a chill run down in their souls.
-And I regret opening my mouth, GET DOWN!-
She didn't even need to be instructed as she quickly fell to the ground and hid in the trees and bushes around the area, just in time to see Black Heart exploring the area from above, presumably looking for her.
"That little prick, who does she think she is?" muttered the Goddess with a face that only meant death to anyone who saw it "Taking away my coffee, when I find her I'll show her what it means to make me mad"
'I'm starting to regret taking that money' thought the lilac hair girl hoping to not be spot by Noire.
In the blink of an eye the white hair Goddess looked in the direction Purple was hiding and started to lower in order to check closely.
'Fuck!'
-No bad words!-
'Duck!'
-Not what I meant but it'll do-
Purple silently moved behind a tree about a few seconds before Black Heart landed in the ground and started taking looks from left to right and right to left, she would have left if it hadn't been because of something that had caught her attention, she walked near the tree Purple was hiding in and before spotting the lilac hair CPU she heard a growl behind her.
Noire turned around to find a Fenrir glaring at her.
"So you were the one that was giving a bad vibe huh, whatever I hope you don't mind being used as my stress releaser" she turned both of her hands into fists and her left arm lower itself to be in horizontal, and she started swinging it from left to right and vice versa.
The monster instead of charging forward looked deep into the Goddess's eyes for good three seconds before its entire body began to shake, its menacing glare vanished and turned into a scared one, the Fenrir started running away.
"I forgot to say it, I'll use you even if you do mind!" she chased after the creature attacking it at her heart's content without knowing that Purple was watching everything…for a moment she could swore that a horn had grown in her forehead, her face had nothing of what a Goddess should have.
A MINUTE LATER
Noire could now be found with a grin of satisfaction on her face while walking away of…the remaining of what used to be a Fenrir "Well, if she isn't here then I guess that I'll just have to look in another place for her"
After taking some other looks around, Noire decided to look in another place and went flying really far away from where Purple is leaving a horrible trauma in the Goddess, one that wouldn't go away no matter how much she tried.
END OST
-That was…horrible, not even monsters deserve what just happened-
Purple walked to the place where the…event took place and finally came to realize something, the pieces of the monster where still there, in other words, it was still alive (in order to avoid anything the current description of the Fenrir will not be mentioned by any means).
She summoned her cursed katana and gave the monster the gift of death, a single stab was enough to make the creature burst into data and vanish.
-She left it at less than a touch to kill? I mean not even a hit, but a touch, that's cruelty-
The lilac hair Goddess decided to make it back to Lastation on foot since she could be easily spotted from above by the Goddess of Lastation.
She kept walking and as she did she remembered what just took place, how Noire looked enjoyed by her actions towards the monster, and that grin that only meant death.
'I want to batle that…person?'
-Yes, and it's actually "battle" with double t-
Purple looked frightened to say at least, she surely was training to get her back one day but after seeing that she only wondered something. Did they seriously face each other in the console war?
And if they did, who won and how? Did Noire ever use any of what she just saw in battle? Can she be defeated?
She had hundreds of questions ready for Purple Heart for the next time they meet.
"Mhm" Purple started looking around
-What? Don't tell me you sense Noire again, I mean that music hasn't sounded, right?-
"No, me-I feel like there is someone…but…"
"I'M FALLING!" the Goddess looked up to see someone falling from the sky "HELP ME!"
Purple didn't waste time and calculated where she was going to fall, by seeing where she was going to land if she kept in a vertical fall, and acted quickly "32 Bits Mega Landing Pot!" a bed made out of pixels was summoned in the place she guessed the woman was going to land, she stepped away hoping that everything turned out correctly.
-Um…I don't know how to say this but…well…you calculated wrong-
Before the lilac hair Goddess could ask what Orange meant, the woman fell on her making the ground shake and the earth to crack a bit in the area they were.
"Wow, Pea is fine! Hurray!" exclaimed the woman which looking carefully had yellow hair, orange eyes, a big…pair of stuff, a one piece white suit with some dark blue in it…also her orange eyes had a power symbol in them "Now" she started to look around while remaining sit in the ground "Where is her?"
(Non-recognizable noises)
"Eh?" the woman looked down to see poor Purple with her face in the ground completely defeated "Wow! A person grew out of my butt!"
-…Hey look, you might have found someone to rival your intelligence-
"Could you…please move" mumbled the Goddess making the woman step aside "Thank you" the bed she created vanished as she stood up as well "I'm fine"
"…" the woman looked at her for a moment before realizing something "Hey, I know you"
"Really, from where do you know me?"
"You let Ploot sleep in your lap"
Purple deadpan as she tried to remember seeing her during a time she gave someone the chance to sleep in her lap…she remembered letting a kid do it in Planeptune's Basilicom however, she never saw her, and a moment later she noticed something, her voice was similar to that blonde hair kid.
If Purple remembered correctly then her name is "P-Ko?"
-Not even close!-
"Pea's name is Peashy!" exclaimed Peashy stomping on the ground until she realized something "But…right now Pea's name is Yellow Heart"
"…Are you really that kid?!" the Goddess barely put any attention at the last part as she came to realize the huge change that happened from the her she met a week and something ago to the current one
"I was surprised as well, I grew up in a moment, they said it was called HDD or something like that" her expression became an angered one at remembering the person that did this to her "They gave me a rock called CPU memory and forced me to ate it after Pea had been given the chance to…help"
'Could it be similar to the CPU cores we have?'
-They are the CPU cores you have Histoire must have confused the name as she said that she BELIEVED that's how they were called, and shouldn't you be more focused on something else?!-
'Like what?'
-What is she doing here?-
Purple made an "oh" expression and faced Peashy with a brief smile "And what brings you here?"
"…Pea came to…" she suddenly looked down at the ground "…to…"
"If you manage to cause her a game over for good, I'll set you and your family free"
She raised her head and stared at Purple with determination "Pea came here to kill you"
"…Eh?" it was so out of the blue that the Goddess had a hard time making sure she heard right "M-I think I misunderstod you"
-"Misunderstood"-
"Sorry, I misunderstood you"
"Pea. Came. To. Kill. You…got it?" now she had a goofy face
"Oh…do I get a choice?" asked Purple as from Yellow Heart's gloves three light blades from each glove "I think it's a no" the Goddess also readied herself for what was going to happen 'Orange, think you can analyze her and give me strategies?'
-That's what I always do, dummy-
'I'm not a dummy, I'm an idiot' she blushed as she thought that
-Focus on what's in front of you, I'll do all I can to support you, now summon your weapon and prepare to fight-
Purple's face acquired a smirk as she knew what to answer Orange 'Sorry, but I want to see what I can do with only my fists, kicks and magic' she proceeded to take a fighting stance similar to a certain legendary alien who saved his planet multiple times from a lot of aliens, monsters, gods, androids, beings from different dimensions, and has a rival who is a prince.
-We are getting killed, definitely-
WARNING SHOWDOWN HAS BEGUN
Purple broke her stance and clapped her hands before separating them showing a good amount of electricity emanating from one hand to the other one, Yellow Heart looked in amazement at the spectacle the lilac hair Goddess was giving.
"Electro Bolt!" she clapped hands again this time aiming at Peashy making all the electricity to be fired at her, the yellow hair CPU was only pushed back a little at the attack that hit her, Purple dashed at her enemy and delivered her an uppercut followed by a kick to the jaw, and a moment later she stepped back a little to see how good those blows did on her.
"That…didn't hurt, and if you don't plan on using weapons" Yellow Heart grinned as if she hadn't received any of those attacks and deactivated her claws "Pea neither" she sprinted intending to punch Purple who easily predicted from where she was going to be hit and put both arms in front of her torso ready to block the punch.
-Move out of the way!-
Purple gained a confused look but it was immediately replaced with fear as Peashy was about to give her an uppercut of her own, time started moving slower as she moved aside barely in time as the strike barely scratched her right cheek, opening it and causing some blood to drip out of it.
'That was going to rip my head off!' thought the Goddess putting a hand on her cheek to see there was some blood in it 'Orange, please say you have a plan!'
-I do, run. She has an extreme quantity of strength and resistance so the most probable thing is that you beat her when it comes to speed since she probably has only trained her brute strength, one more think don't block her attacks unless you want a bone broken, focus on dodging, giving a strike or two, run, and repeat, if possible lose her in the forest-
'Got it!' she mentally agreed and started running away hoping to be faster than her and losing her in the forest
"Hey come back here!" Yellow Heart started chasing the CPU, and as Orange predicted, Purple was faster than her.
After running for a while Purple looked behind to not see Peashy chasing her, she used this chance to climb into a tree hiding from her opponent who appeared shortly after however, instead of keep running she stopped all of sudden and started looking around.
-She can't see us so why is she staying in this place?-
Yellow Heart lowered and put her nose on the ground and started smelling the zone.
-You are joking, right?-
Peashy stood up and punched the tree Purple was in making it fall…no person fell or made a sound because of it.
Meanwhile in the tree next to the one that just fell was the Goddess panting as silently as she could.
-It appears that direct confrontation will be inevitable, use your dark awakening or that thing you created…superior mode!-
'No, dark awakening requires the best out of I-me, and using superior mode leaves me without the capability to use electricity for three minutes and it takes me ten minutes to re-enter into it again' explained Purple cooling down 'The question is, she found me by sniffing my trail?'
-Yes…that's the way she found you-
'huh?'
-…Kid listen, the reason why everyone but Purple Heart and me abandon you is-
Purple suddenly stopped hearing Orange's voice 'Orange?'
…
No answer came to her head "Orange" this time she actually called the voice inside of her head which was a horrible mistake.
Yellow Heart heard her speak and hit the tree she was in causing it to fall with Purple in it "Ouch!" the Goddess groaned and had time for nothing else as Peashy readied to strike her with a downfall punch to her head, her fist was mere centimeters away from Purple's head 'I'm dead' was her first and only thought.
"Me promise-…I promise I won't die, and in exchange neither of you will. We will reach the end together"
"Skywalk!" a platform appeared under her feet and pushed her all the way to another tree until her back hit with it 'Idiot you promised to survive so don't you dare to think that again!' she scolded herself mentally as she saw Peashy with her fist deep implanted on the ground, the CPU barely evaded death, again.
'Now's my chance' Purple put on her feet and ran at Yellow Heart punching her in the face…her opponent didn't even flinch.
Peashy took her fist out of the ground and glared at Purple who gulped immediately.
'Think Purple, think, just remember what Purple Heart has taught you' …shamefully she was in so much panic that she couldn't focus on starting a flashback 'Orange where are you?' she watched as from Yellow Heart's wrists the three claws re-appeared meaning that her opponent wanted to put an end to this 'that's not good…okay, think carefully what would you do if this was you vs Noire?'
The image of what she just saw Noire do re-entered her head, sending a chill throughout her entire existence.
'Alright not Noire, better…if this was you vs…Arfoire…I know!'
"Time to…die?" Peashy stopped at seeing Purple's expression, she looked confused? No, surprised would be more correct. Purple started turning her head to the right with Yellow Heart doing it as well 'what did she see?' Peashy completely turned her head to the right in order to see…just the forest 'There's nothing there?'
"Superior mode!"
Yellow Heart returned her attention to the front where Purple was already in front of her with her superior mode activated and about to give her an elbow blow 'Was Pea tricked?'
"Electro Blow!" at the speed of lightning she delivered her the best movement, and finisher, she currently has at her solar plexus sending her flying destroying three trees before finally stopping at the fourth one. Purple deactivated her superior mode and started panting "And Purple Heart said that "tricky glare" would never work, now it's time for my grand escape…Purple Dash!" she ran away hoping that this time she wouldn't get chased, but life (author/Shadic) is never nice.
In a flash of a moment Yellow Heart let out a battle cry and activated her wings as she flew at full speed at the Goddess "That hurt!"
"Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck! What do me- What do I do?!" screamed Purple adding speed to her feet 'I can't win without actually going HDD…the phone!' she reached her pockets and found said device given to her, she wasted zero time as she dialed her friend.
"Hello, this is IF and if you're hearing this then it means I wasn't able to answer. Please leave a message or try again later"
"…EH?!" she called her again and obtained the same results "DUCK!" Purple tried one more time with the same development.
"Got you!" Peashy grabbed Purple's jacket and pulled it with all her might causing the Goddess to be pulled as well into her torso where Yellow Heart put her right arm in her throat and started putting pressure into the grip.
'I can't…breathe" Purple tried to undo the grip by pulling her opponent's arm but it didn't even move a millimeter, she stomped on her foot and nothing happened, the Goddess tried about everything she had and yet, nothing worked.
She started losing consciousness, since she already used the superior mode once, her body wasn't able to enter into the dark awakening, and the time before the next superior mode hadn't arrived so a power-up wasn't saving her, using any 32 bit ability would most likely end in her being used as a meat-shield, and she was running out of time.
"Compa…Iffy…Purple Heart…help me!"
Yellow Heart noticed that the Goddess wasn't putting resistance anymore, she had also lowered her arms and she couldn't listen to her making any noise at all. Peashy dropped her to the ground where she fell face first and didn't move.
She kicked Purple and received no response from her part "…You're death" she looked at the Goddess and teared up "I'm sorry, but Pea had no choice. "Hic" It was you or mommy!" now she was crying, she fell to her knees and broke.
She didn't want this, she never wanted to hurt anyone however, she was told that if she succeeded in killing Purple, her family, including her, would be set free.
Peashy may be six years old but that didn't mean she didn't understand the concept of what a murder is like, half of the knowledge brought to her by her classmates that bullied her and the other half by her family that always told her to never do anything like that.
She made herself the idea of what would happen once Rei and Plutia were aware of what she did, at the beginning she thought she would get grounded but after using the CPU memory, her intelligence would receive a (light) boost, and she changed that scenario with another one, the moment they come to know what she did, they would hate her and look at her like nothing but a killer…but that was fine to her.
Ever since she has memory Rei has been there for her, she even stopped doing her heretic stuff in order to raise her properly, and the moment she turned five years old was about the time Rei had gone back to do those speeches on the streets that would usually end up with someone trying to beat her up.
Plutia was also there for her each time some kids would try to hurt her she would appear to protect her by literally switching who would get hit, there was even this one time where the kids of Plutia class tried to actually hurt her with a weapon and she appeared in time to help her sister, by the end of the day they were both beaten up but at least the bullies weren't left unharmed, that was the first time they were changed from school.
She practically owed her life to those two, and if in order to save them she must be hated by them, she will do it without hesitating.
Yellow Heart wiped off the tears from her face and materialized a cellphone, opened the camera function and took a photo of Purple's body. She stood up and opened the message app the phone had, looked in the contacts and found the one that said "G.G" she opened it and sent the photo.
She then turned around taking a last glance at Purple "I'm sorry"
BEEP
The phone vibrated almost immediately, surprising the kid with body of adult, she checked what happened and saw a message from G.G
"She's still alive"
Peashy turned around and a blade was stabbed deep into her torso trespassing throughout her stomach and back, the weapon was a sword in a blueish color with sparkles coming out of it, and holding the hilt was Purple with a smirk, moments later Yellow Heart felt as if a lightning had hit her from all the electricity that suddenly started invading her body.
"Combination, "Play dead" along with "Electric blade"" she retrieved the sword and it soon turned into nothing but thin air, she then gave Peashy a roundhouse kick to her jaw and pulled her by the hair all the way to the ground.
"…What happened?" she looked up to see the CPU looking kind of worried, and of course she is I mean she didn't want to kill anyone and stabbing a sword helps to kill, so it was only natural she felt bad however, Peashy had no way of knowing what that expression meant "Not yet…Pea still…has to save…mommy and Ploot"
Purple's worry transformed into curiosity in a matter of seconds.
"Mommy and…Ploot need me" she stood up and the part of her body that was stabbed started glowing in a green color and Yellow Heart's eyes started showing a fire in that power symbol that only brighten more per second "And Pea will save them!"
Purple's eyes widened as she realized what Yellow Heart was about to do, she turned around and started running.
Peashy's body started glowing in a yellow color and soon, an explosion emanated from her body and destroyed everything surrounding her in at least a mile in all directions.
""Pant" "Pant" "Pant" "Pant"" Yellow Heart was trying to recover her breath as that attack had consumed everything out of her, and the fact a blade had been stabbed in her stomach didn't help like at all.
By this point she stopped caring at what her family would think of her and only cared and hoped that that explosion had done the job, she looked up expecting to see Purple's incinerated corpse in the middle of the blown up zone…and instead what she got was a giant half of sphere made out of pixels in the ground.
"32 bits mega shield!" the skill vanished showing Purple completely fine and without a single scratch from the explosion though she was panting because it required some good job to be able to keep a shield against all that fire power.
Without caring about how tired she was, Purple dashed at Yellow Heart and stood just in front of her, and started swinging her upper body from left to right and right to left, like a pendulum, increasing her speed as time passed.
"Goddess Roll!" her fists started sparkling with electricity before she started giving hooks to Peashy's jaw while still swinging like a pendulum from side to side.
Yellow Heart took in all the hits because she didn't have the energy to move or block the attacks anymore.
Purple continued beating the living…out of her until she decided to finish it by aiming a little higher and striking her face rather than her jaw, and pushed her all the way to the ground with that last punch.
"During a match you can make a lot of mistakes but there is one that you must never do, run out of stamina"
Yellow Heart's body hit the ground with a big thud.
"The stamina doesn't only affect the use of your magic, it also affects your resistance, strength, defense, speed, durability and all the other physical aspects"
Purple was now looking down at Peashy who was blankly staring at the sky, she was completely out cold.
"Anyone who runs out of stamina is like a Fenrir without teeth or claws, and Goddesses aren't the exception"
The Goddess raised her right arm in satisfaction. This showdown's victory belonged to her.
