Henlo! … You know the past few days were interesting... I need help.

Chapter 34:*Quirky chapter title goes here*

All right let's just get this rolling… And, there!

Because no one likes boring repetitive fights… So long Copypasta! Totally not using this as an excuse for my laziness and very uncreative fight scenes.

"Gwaaaaaaaah!" Copypaste shouted as his unit of a body took a massive hit from good ol' Blanc.

"Hah...haha… I've lost… But I have...no regrets. My heart feels so...cheery..." Bunch of booli's if you ask me.

"Sir Copy!" The third worker shouted, "Nooo, Sir Copy…!" The second worker called out.

Copypaste turned to the workers with a cheery smile upon his face "Ah, you guys… I showed you a pretty disgraceful sight. I spoke with pride, but this is the result…"

"Don't talk right now! Someone, hurry up and bring me a toolbox!" The first worker told the big robot.

"It wasn't...a bad life… And now, I get to die while I'm surrounded by...friends..." Well if you plan on reincarnating then can I hire you as a DJ? (A reference no one will get because I doubt anyone reading this has played the game.)

"Don't talk like you've given up! We'll fix you right up, and then…!"

"Good-bye, everyone… Thank...you… Urk." Out of nowhere James, Alex and Nep all pulled out shades and put them on while facing away from Copypaste.

Sir Copy…? No, Copy! NOOOOO!" And then he spectacularly blew up leaving bits and pieces here and there but still managing to keep himself intact.

"Cool guys don't look at explosions~" The three who were turned around sang.

"Awwwwwwww… Poor Copypaste..." Plutia said sadly as the robot had seemingly died.

"Poor, my ass! I won, so why do I feel so cruddy?!" Blanc shouted looking visibly angry.

"Um, what should we do, Neptune?" Nepgear asked her sister.

"I say we bail before this gets any worse," Alex whispered to everyone minus Blanc.

"Agreed," James agreed as the two slowly stepped into the shadows as sneakily as possible with Maddy following like a normal person.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Neptune whisper shouted as she dragged Nepgear with her and Plutia just slowly followed like normal.

"Haven't you made enough of a fool of yourself already, Author?" What?! How do you know about that! I demand an answer!

"A magician never reveals her secrets~" Note to self: Keep Neptune away from the internet…

"Well, why are we walking back? Considering normal logic in stories like this, if we weren't automatically back already something interesting is going to happen..." Can you not read ahead of the non-existent script? Actually just stop reading my mind in general.

"Nope~ never gonna stop!" One of these days, Neptune.

Well if you want to know… Nothing interesting is happening other than some nice conversation… I hope. Seriously I don't control this shit a lot of the time things just happen without my doing.

"Hey does anyone else hear that?" Alex asks as he stops to listen for something he can hear.

"I hear it too!" Nepgear says as she starts looking around for the source of the whatever they are hearing.

"It sounds like music, the kind that only this weirdo of an author would be into..." James mused as he readied his weapon just in case.

The girls all transformed once again preparing for a fight.

(Hey, look! One of the very few times I request playing a song unless it had some kind of significance! Final Boss by Nitro Fun.)

Nothing was happening as the music just progressed until it suddenly picked up in tempo and a large pink circle with a crazy look showed up out of nowhere from the sky.

Suddenly it changed into a strange cannon of sorts with 3 barrels as it blasted lasers to the tempo of the song at the group of heroes.

"The hell do we do now?!" Alex asked as he dodged one of the laser blasts from the crazy enemy unable to even get close and get a hit in.

"I dunno! Just keep avoiding the pink laser things!" James shouted back as he rolled in between two laser paths.

They avoided the lasers as best as they could but it proved harder as the pink circle started throwing out small pink balls like bullets as they got further into the song and the fight.

Finally seeing an opportunity to attack Neptune rushes in with her sword hitting the weird enemy and knocking it off balance which seemed to completely stop it.

"Well, that was anticlimactic…" Iris Heart said in a bored tone as the pink circle just broke into nothingness and disappeared for good.

(Hopefully, the song ended by this point… Either way, I ain't gonna go any further than this as to not spoil what happens~ If you are curious as to what this was from I will leave the name in the note at the bottom.)

With the strange enemy defeated they all moved on back to the Basilicom in Planeptune.

"Phew, all done. I didn't know what was gonna happen when all those phones did the ringing thing at once," Neptune said as she wiped sweat from her brow.

"We did soooomething…" Plutia cheered slowly as usual.

"I just hope things remain quiet for a little while," Nepgear wished.

"It'd be too boring for the readers if it remained quiet forever!" Neptune said as she invaded the non-existent 4th wall.

"Who can say? It seemed to me that they were all prepared to show up again without much pause," Vert mused as she and the 3 other CPU's showed up outta nowhere.

"I'd welcome another attack. I'll snap their necks the next time I see them!" Noire said angrily.

"How careless for you to have let them escape twice. I crushed my opponent into subservience," Blanc mocked the CPU of Lastation.

"Oh, the others showed up. Neato," James mused as they joined up together and walked along through the Basilicom which was eerily quiet.

"I just gave a lecture to my citizens," Blanc said nonchalantly.

"Hmhmhmm. As for me, I hurried over so that we could bathe together, as we had promised," Vert said with a devilish grin.

"But you don't have to come over here every time you wanna hang out. You all get lonely easy, huh?" Neptune said.

"Isn't it fun to be with everyone, Neppy…?" Plutia asked her fellow CPU.

"Well sure, buddy. But relaxing all alone is cool sometimes, too. Alone in the dark, silent hills…" Neptune told her.

"Don't spend too much time alone or you'll end up like the Author or Lonely Heart here," Alex teased the girl. I ain't responding to that.

"We really shouldn't be lazing about though with those kids being around all the time," Maddy told them.

"Oh, quite right! In a way, they're more difficult to deal with than the Seven Sages," Neptune says with a big smile upon her face.

"She says with a giant smile," Blanc mused pointing out Neptune's big smile.

"All in all, Neptune has fun. That is why the children are so fond of her," Vert points out as they get closer to the living quarters.

"More like she is a child so they see her as one of them…" Noire whispered.

"You're sooooo amazing, Neppy… I could never act as babyish as you…!" OOF! That was nearly as bad as the roll I went on with insulting the size of Blanc's chest like yesterday, and hot damn was that a good time.

"Should I be happy for the praise, or hang my head in shame at the backhanded part of that compliment?" Neptune asked.

"Yes," James stated not giving a direct answer but just saying the age-old phrase of answering with 'Yes'.

"Hmm? Oh, we're back already… That was rather quick," Maddy said as Neptune rushed to open the door as fast as possible before making a sound and movement as if she was hit in the stomach.

"...Or not," Neptune looked a little confused as she went back to her normal self, "What is it? Why did you let out such a guttural sound?" Vert asked wanting to know what's up, "Well, y'see, P-ko usually greets me with a headbutt to my stomach, so I was reacting preemptively..." She answered.

"Something isn't right here…" Maddy said as she started to look around the room rather suspiciously.

"Is everyone gone…? Where did they gooooo…?" Plutia asked as everyone stepped into the empty room.

"I wonder… Can Histoire really look after three kids by herself?" Noire asked from behind Blanc.

"No. That's why Neptune, Maddy or I go out with her. It's also kind of risky if just Plutia goes with them..." Nepgear answered the black CPU.

Blanc perked her ears up as she seemed to have heard something "Quiet. I hear something. Coming from the...trash."

Muffled noises seemed to be coming from inside the trash can but they could not be properly discerned.

Neptune looked inside the trash and found Mini-Histy's book "Let's see here… Oh, wow. Someone threw Histy's tome away and duct taped the heck out of it," Neptune says as she picks the book up. Shoulda used Flex Tape™.

Nepgear joined her sister to look at the tome "Yeah… Did the kids play a prank? Goodness! To do something like this..." Nepgear noticed something odd about the book "Hmm? The book is kinda...round, no?"

More muffled sounds and shaking this time from the tome. Nepgear immediately realised what had happened "Huh? Could it be? Oh, no! I think she's become an Histoire sandwich!"

"Kids' pranks are cruel these days." Eh, I've seen worse, Blanny.

"Now's not the time to say that! Get her out of the book!" Noire demanded as Neptune untaped the book to reveal a Mini-Histy.

Could've been longer but decided to leave it here because I felt like it.

Anyways, moving on. The game I was talking about is called Just Shapes and Beats, it's a game about… Shapes and Beats, literally… It's a fun game and although short in story rather fun for a game like that… If you didn't already guess by the song name and that the fight was rather quick it's because I would be spoiling the ending of the game which I highly recommend you find out for yourself.

See ya!
