Excel's POV
"Oh look it's Noire!" Neptune cheered as we walked to the Basilicom "What are you doing here?"
"I came to visit Plutia." Noire said "Had to make sure she was doing her work."
"Likely story." Neptune said rubbing her chin.
"What are you-!"
"OBJECTION!" Neptune yelled "I think you're really here because you worried about losing Plutia to Blanc."
"What about me?" the girl in question spoke softly.
"WHA!" Noire yelled "What is she doing here?"
"I had some free time, so I came to visit." Blanc explained.
Blanc and Noire started glaring daggers at each other.
"Ladies let's just get the Basilicom…you're making a scene."
"Fine." Noire pouted "But I don't like it."
We walked inside and headed up the stairs.
"Hey Plutie I'm back!" Neptune called out.
"Neppy!" Plutia cheered "Welcome home~"
"Uhh…" Noire gulped.
"What's going on?" Blanc said.
Plutia was sitting on the ground, being crawled on by a bunch of babies, three to be exact.
"Umm…Plutia when did all this happen, I didn't think you were that kind of gal." Neptune said whistling.
"Since when des Plutia have children?" Noire shivered.
"You guys~" Plutia whined "It's not-."
"I wonder who their dad is?" Blanc added.
"Hmmm…"
They all looked at me, eyes narrowed.
"HEY!" I snapped "This ain't my fault!"
"Well you are the only guy around here." Neptune said.
"And I wouldn't put it passed your HDD form." Blanc added.
"Trust me I would know if I was fathering any children!" I growled.
"Guys stop it~" Plutia whined.
"Neptune do you not remember." Histy said floating in "Due to all the missing child cases we've opened a daycare in the Basilicom."
"Oh that does sound familiar…" Neptune laughed.
"Hmmm…" I looked at the kids "You seem kinda familiar.
"Mmmmm…ha!"
"OW" I hissed "The little brat poked my eye!"
Plutia begged us to help her manage the kids, somehow Neptune managed to sucker Noire and Blanc into helping as well.
"You know Excel is right." Neptune said looking at two of the kids "These two are really familiar."
"These two are named IF and Compa." Plutia said pointing at the two."
"IF…" I hummed.
"And Compa…" Neptune added.
"WAH!" we both gasped.
"Something wrong."
"Stop yelling." Baby IF pouted.
"These are IF and Compa!" Neptune said.
"You know these two?" Noire said.
"Yeah their like my best buddies." Neptune said "Maxed out S-Rank buddies. To think in this world they'd be so tiny, IF is still full of quips and Compa is a lot…less soft."
"HYA!" the third kid clocked Neptune in the side.
"YEWOCH!" Neptune said "Don't hit people!"
"Peashy must be jealous." Plutia said "Be nice to all the kids Neppy."
The next few hours were filled with children hanging off of me and other tiring activates.
"They're asleep." I sighed.
"Excel I'm beat." Neptune whined "I can't even get to bed, carry me."
"I'm too tired." I said flopping down on the couch "Get to it yourself."
"UGH!" Neptune said flopping down on top of me.
"Get off." I whined.
"I can't, I'm too pooped." Neptune said "Be my pillow."
I wanted to throw her off but I was just too exhausted.
Later
"Neptune, Excel please wake up." Histy whined.
"Ehh?" I groaned.
I looked up, Neptune was still out cold on top of me and somehow my arm had ended up around her waist.
"What…" Neptune mumbled opening her eyes "Five more minutes."
"No not five minutes, now!" Histoire said pulling Neptune off me.
"Ouch…what is it."
"Big news!" she said "Two things, bad and worse, which first?"
"Oh, oh!" Plutia jumped up "Start with the bad!"
"Okay this effects all of you, all three of your nations were just pinged with a declaration of war by a place called Leanbox."
Leanbox…it exists here?
"There's another nation…I didn't hear about a founding." Noire said.
"It was on a far island." Histoire explained "You couldn't have known. Now then the worse news…Neptune, Excel…It's time for you to go home."
"What?!"
"I received a call from your world, I'll go outside and put her on speaker."
We followed her outside.
"Wait are you serious?" I said "We can go home now?"
"I am going to materialize a portal." Our Histoire said "When the light appears walk into it."
"Wait…can't we wait a bit?" Neptune frowned "I wanna stay a little while."
"I knew this would happen." I sighed "This is why I wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible."
"I'm sorry Neptune but this may be our only chance." Histoire said "You did great work over there so you can leave with your head held high."
"Yeah just go." Noire said "It's not like I'm gonna miss the two of you."
"We've only known each other a short time but it was fun." Blanc smiled.
"NEPPY~ EXY~!" Plutia cried.
"Walk into the light." Histoire said as a beam appeared.
"Eh…oh…" Neptune looked nervous.
"Come on!" I yelled grabbing her hand "We have to go!"
"I…I know." She frowned holding my hand back "Let's go…"
"Hmm…what's all this, Histoire are they coming home."
"No don't touch that!" the fairy in the other world yelled "You're going to mess everything up."
"WAHH! I'm gonna get sucked in."
"You two don't touch that!" Histoire yelled "NO!"
Suddenly the light vanished.
"No…" I sighed "DAMMIT!"
"This isn't good…" Neptune said "I have a feeling someone messed something up."
"That portal was only supposed to be traversed by two people at a time." Histoire said "I don't know if I can get you back now…"
"Who fell in." I hissed.
"MOVE MOVE MOVE!"
"HELPPPP~!"
"Why is everyone moving away from m-GAH!" Noire yelled as the people falling form the sky crashed into her.
"Something fell out." Blanc said.
"SIS!" Nepgear smiled.
"I knew that was a bad idea."
"YOU TWO IDIOTS!" I hissed "That was our shot home."
"Sorry Sir." Linda bowed.
"Hey Nepgear's here." Neptune smiled "Cool."
"Not cool, we can't go home now!" I snapped.
"I'm so glad you two are okay-AHHH!" Nepgear yelled "You-You-You two!"
"Hmm…" Neptune and I both tilted our head.
"HANDS!" she yelled.
"hmm…AH!" Neptune and I both yelled as we realized we were still holding hands.
"My sister…stole my boyfriend."
"Your boyfriend?" Linda perked up.
"Nep Jr this isn't what it looks like." Neptune said waving her arms.
"Yeah I was just trying to pull her into the portal was all." I gulped.
"You two said you'd been here for three years…it figures he'd move on in that time." Nepgear frowned.
"I'm not dating your sister!" I growled.
"Well they were laying on top of each other on the couch before." Plutia said.
"Not helping!"
It took about ten minutes of reassuring to convince Nepgear that Neptune and I weren't like that.
"Well if I'm here for a while why don't we go deal with the Leanbox thing?" Neptune said.
"I guess that makes sense for now." Noire nodded.
"Sorry I can't go." Plutia frowned "I have to stay with the babies."
"That's right." Blanc said "We can't leave them unattended."
"Why don't we let those two watch them?" Noire said "I mean they're just human so they'll only get in the way."
"That's right." I hummed "Nepgear is just a human now…"
If we're gonna get stuck her for a while again we need to figure something out soon…
"But I wanna go."
"I'm a oracle not a babysitter." Linda growled "You know I hate kids."
"Suck it up you two." I said walking out the door "We'll be back later, and try not to do anything stupid…you've already done enough of that today. Listen we need to figure some stuff out otherwise three days could pass at home and when we get back you two will be three years older."
"Boy you're angry." Blanc commented.
"I was this close to going home." I said "And they mucked it all up, they're sweet girls and they always mean well but…they really screwed up this time."
Later
When we got to Lastation a boat was already waiting to take us to Leanbox, it was set on autopilot so the ride was a tad bit choppy but we made good time.
"So this is Leanbox…" Noire said stepping off the boat.
"It's hideous." Blanc said.
"Ouch…" I hummed "I feel like I just got insulted."
"Whatever let's just get to the Basilicom." Noire said "I want to know what this bitch wants."
"Double ouch…"
We headed into the large building and marveled at the size.
"Look at all this stuff." Neptune said "It's so retro."
"Wow…there sure are a lot of posters with boys on them, why does this one not have a shirt on?"
"Yeah Vert lives here for sure." I hummed as I looked around.
"Ah ladies you've finally arrived."
We all turned to the door and the Fake-Vert walked in.
"It's her!" Noire yelled.
"I should've known." Blanc said "She was acting suspicious, did you come to Lowee to spy on me."
"A lady never reveals her secrets." Vert said.
"Why waste time calling us here, what do you want phony?" I asked.
"Still the cold shoulder." She pouted "I came to let you know I will be taking away all your shares."
"Yeah right." Noire said brushing her hair back.
"Once my newest hardware drops in your nations it'll all be over, your people will flock to me, after all…I'm me."
"If that's all you dragged us here for I'm going home." I said.
"You five can't compete with me." Vert said hugging her body.
"I'll rip those stupid things off!" Blanc hissed.
"Let's go." I said dragging the girl off.
Later in Planeptune.
"Umm…Neptune, Excel." Mini-Histy said flying up to us right away "We have a bit of a problem."
"What's up?"
"I'm so pathetic…no wonder Excel left me for my sister…she's so much cooler…"
Nepgear was curled up in the corner drawing on the wall with her finger.
"Stupid brats my hair ain't food." Linda said brushing her green locks.
"Umm…Nep Jr…what's wrong."
"How come you don't want me around, you left me in the last dimension…you stole my boyfriend."
"Yeah I didn't do that." Neptune cut in.
"and you won't let me come help you."
"Oh if this is all that it's about you can come help me with stuff, I'm sure Mini-Histy can watch the babies."
"I suppose…if it will keep her from getting like that."
"You mean I can come with you guys!"
"Welcome to the party Nep Jr!" Neptune smiled "Oh yeah, Underling can come to."
"TCH!" Linda hissed "I haven't been Underling for like ten chapters."
"We still have to solve the issue of Nepgear not having HDD."
"Oh yeah, maybe we should go back to those ruins and look for one for her." Neptune said "If we don't hurry she's totally gonna out sexy me."
"Me…sexy." Nepgear blushed "Well I mean if I end up growing there's no rush…"
"You're getting a Core ASAP and that's final." I said "I'm supposed to be the cool and mature sibling, not you."
About a Week Later
Over the last week Nepgear and Linda have been helping us around Planeptune. Linda was assisting Histoire with counteracting the Fake-Vert's new consol. I guess people didn't like it because it was to big and bulky.
"It seems we win this round." Blanc smirked.
"I can't believe all of you!"
"Ah it's Vert!" Neptune yelled "Where'd she come from!"
"You've all sabotaged me haven't you!" she growled "There's no way the people shouldn't love me, bigger is always better, I'm proof of that."
"She's Lady Vert alright." Linda snickered.
"I demand retribution via combat!" Vert said.
"Bring it on." Blanc teased.
"Our fight will happen in the place where I became a CPU." Fake-Vert said "The people will love me when I wipe the floor with the five of you."
With that she stomped out.
"Oh rats I wanted to ask if she had a CPU thingy for Nepgear." Neptune pouted.
"It's gonna be on her home turf." Noire said "This'll be tough."
"Don't worry about it." I said standing up and grabbing my trident "Cuase none of you will eb the ones fighting her."
"Huh?"
"I'm dealing with her myself." I said "Linda let's go."
"Yes Sir!"
"Hang on!" Nepgear said "You can't-."
"Take a chill pill hot shot." Neptune hummed "You can do the fighting if you want but we're all coming, we gotta find that thing for Nepgear remember."
"Fine, just stay out of the way, I want to take her down."
I gotta beat that bad attitude out of the imposter, find a Memory to keep Nepgear from ageing and find a way home…this is rough.
I looked over at Linda.
And what do I do about her?
Ultra-Nepgear's POV
"Hold your horses old hag."
"Who you calling a hag brat!"
"I'm coming with you for this one, I'm bored with sitting around." I told her.
"Whatever, just don't get in my way."
