The 5 Girls where Walking for a few Hours now, not encountering any Monsters which wonders Neptune.
"Yo Situne i thought this cave was full of monsters" Situne took awhile to realize Neptune ment her.
"...Situne?" Asked she confused.
"Well if we are both Neptune it may gets confusing and you are a Serious Version of me so Situne" Situne blinked and than just sight.
"Well...it could be worse. Call me that if you want...you two can do it too i know you barely can say my name anyway." She looked at Iffy and Compa when she said that who both nodded.
"But zen we will have problems with her Name" Said Compa and pointe at Neptune.
"Nah just call me Nep-Ko, Nep Nep our Nepsy our whatever nickname you're like i don't mind" A small Smile came to Compas face.
"Varey well i call you Nep-Nep. So Nep-Nep how is your world? How horrible was ze War zhere?" Neptune shrugged.
"It..wasn't really a War to be honest the CPUs decided to limit the fight only to themselves. At first the civillian's fought too but they put a stop to that WAREY earlei. It went on for a few years but at one point they realize how pointless it is and now there Friends. Ahm the fact that Arfoire and ASIC showed up also helped hehe" All the Girls looked at her with wide eyes.
"Wait...are you telling me you DEFEATED ASIC in your World?" Asked a baffled Iffy.
"Sure did. Wheel it was mostly Purple Sister and wait a moment why do i have to do this hole Exposition Dump? Urgh ahm short Version? CPUs where captured for 3 Years, Purple Sister collected all Candidates, they freed there Sisters and defeatet Arfoire once and for all the end."
"...How?" Asked Uni. The Black haired Girl did not look at her, instead used the Scope of her Rifle to check out what was in front of them.
"Ahm...they beat her up. I don't know to be honest i didn't really listen when Iffy told me the Details. (Our rather i forgot the Details but no need to tell them that)" Iffy looked at her strangely.
"Why would i tell you the Details?" Neptune was unsure if she should tell it to Iffy.
"Ahm...you're good friends with Purple Heart and Purple Sister" Iffy just huffed loudley.
"As if i ever could be Friends with such beasts. Whatever lets just go on we are soon there" But Uni stopped them.
"...something's coming." Everyone took out their Weapons. The two Neptunes there Katanas and Iffy had one of her quarters and a gun. Shocking was ahm...Compa. Instead of one Giant Syringe she had two Crossbows...who apperley shooted small Syringes. Then they heard loud noises and before anyone could say something a Monster landed in front of them. It was made out of Stone. It's Under Body resembles a Spider while its upper Body was Humanoid. In its Hand was a Giant Sword.
"NEPU THAT THING AGAIN. What a wonderful rencounter to the first Remake." The Monster just gave a loud Screech and lifted its Sword.
"Hmph. CRITICAL SLASH" Screamed Situne as she stormed at the Monster with a 3 Hit Slash Combo but it did not much damaged.
"Dammit the Things tuff..." She glared at the Monster who tried crushing her with its fist.
"OH NO BUSTER. TAKE THAT" Neptune just jumped and kicked the Monster in their Face giving everyone a nice view of her Panties, causing Situne too blush."
"EY DON'T SHOW OFF YOUR UNDERWEAR LIKE THAT" Screeched the Ex-CPU loudley. But her embarrassment went away when she realized the Monster was dazed and had to take a few Steps back.
"H-How...(Could this be? Is she so strong...Because of her Share Energie?)"
"...Lock on..." Was all Uni said before a barrage of Shots hit the Creature in the Face it got even more angry and lifted its Sword and saw Iffy running at it so it opted to attack her.
"Compa we really can need something right now anything useful." Scremad Iffy who dodged the Monsters Sword.
"Of course mein Freund. I have just ze right zing hehehe" She fired at the Monster and Syringes filled with a Green Liquid impaled it. At first Nothing happened but then green smoke started to come from the holes and the Monster screamed in Pain.
"Zose are my new Acid Shots. Im sure zis Beast will be in a lot of pain" Neptune shudders a little as she saw Compass cruel smile.
"She's Creepy...why is Compa Creepy? Compa is supposed to be the klutzy innocent one. God Author what are you thinking here?" Sadly the Monsters seems to recover our atleast was now able to beer the Pain...out was just SO angry that it ignored it, aney of the aboth was possible. It lifted its Sword again and smashed it down. The hole Ground began to shake and they all lost there Balance and fell. The Monster wanted to use that opportunity but suddenly Gun Show were heard and it was attacked from behind.
"THERE THEY ARE. TAKE DOWN THAT MONSTER" Screamed someone who sounded Familiar to Neptune but she could not remember how at the moment. Instead she saw how the Monster was literley taken apart by a Barrage from Gunshots. Compa also fired more of her Acid Syringes at it which caused it slowly to just fall apart and vanish.
"We are glad we found...you...okay why are there two Neptunes?" Hearing her name she looked up and was...surprised what she saw. Ther in front of her was no one other but Ray Rights. She looked...REALLY worse to wear. Her Business Suit was in many places ripped and Damages and her Horn was Broken. She wore small Armor Pieces all over her. Behind her were some other People, NPCs whose faces Neptune did not bother to remember all armed with Machine Guns.
"Ray? Better question what are YOU doing here? You're our god damn leader how many times do i have to tell you stay in the Base" Screams Situne at her but Rey just smiled.
"I was worried about you so of course i come and save you it's what a Mother does."
"MOTHER?" Screamed Neptune baffled. Situne just blushed.
"...adoptet..." Muttered the Girl looking away.
"oh dear god...in this world i'm a freaking Tsundere. Oh what horrors. My dear Cutsey Loli Heart can not cope with this." Ignoring the idiot Iffy and the others salute in front of Ray.
"Maam we...we saldey have to report our Mission was a Failure. We found Nothing of Value in the Ruins...except for maybe that...idiot here" She pointed at Neptune who was still talking some nonsense about the horror of the Tsundere Devil or some nonsense like that.
"I would not call a new recruit a Failure. But please tell me why there are suddenly two Versions of my Daughter? And why this one acts like my Daughter acted before the Fall of Planeptune?" Iffy and Compa looked shocked.
"W-Warte Warte...M-Misses Rights a-are you telling us zat Situne once was like...ZIS?" Situne blushed even more and Ray just smiled.
"Yes she was Compa. But was a long time ago also...Situne?" Apparently Neptune who was done with her nonsense now joined the Conversation.
"I call her that because she is a serious Version of me. Hy im Neptune, cutest Protag of all Protags who definitely is NOT a lonely Tsundere like Noire and is from a alternate Dimension." Ray just...blinked a few times.
"Okaaaay...i...guess we should talk with Histoire about this so...Neptune right? Well...welcome to the Rebellion. I thank you for helping my Daughter and her friends get here. Now we should hurry there could be more Monsters here" The Girls nodded and the Group left the Caves.
While Neptune was happy to escape the Caves, the Snow later was not much better. They were somewhere in the Wildness of Lower and had quite a way to go until they arrived at the Base. Which turned out to be...a old rundown Fabric.
"...i know you're a Rebellion, fighting for Survival but this is a little...underwhelming" But Ray just smiled.
"Oh believe me it will impress you...sadeley...Uni if you please?" Neptune wonders what she meant but Suddenly Uni slammed something hard against her head and she fall unconscious.
"Was zat really necessary? Poor Nep-Nep" Said Compa who already saw the Giant Bump on Neptune's head.
"Sadly it is. I do want to trust her but we can't risk her being a Spy." Uni started carrying the Girl and the Group went on to the real secret Base.
When Neptune woke up she was lying in a really uncomfortable Bed.
"Urgh nepuuu...where ahm i?...AND WHY THE HELL AM I NAKED?" Neptunes face flushed red when she saw she was butt naked with not a stitch of Clothing on her. She was also chained down.
"O-Okay No im out. I did NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS" Panikes did she try to free herself.
"Please calm down we do not want to Harm you" Huh? That voice...Neptune startet too look around.
"I know that small silent Voice. HISTY. It's you. if this is a Joke or a punishment because i didn't do my Paperwork than you are SO fired as a oracle because this goes too far"
"I swear this is no Joke. I apologize for you...lack of cover but we had to make sure you're clothing did not contain anything that could be used to spy on us like trackers. So he had to incinerate most of it to be safe." Only now did Neptune remembered what happened to her...sadly it did NOT calm her down.
"WHAAAT. MY CLOTHES. THAT'S NOT FUNNY SERIOUSLY"
"Histoire that's really not funny we incinerate Nothing" Neptune looked around but there still was no one.
"Okay seriously where...WAIT ARE YOU WATCHING ME WITH A CAMERA? I SWEAR IF A SINGLE GUY IS WATCHING I WILL SUE" Then suddenly the Wall opened and Situne came in WITH her Clothes.
"Calm down the only one who sees you is Historie. Remember this is MY Body too that would be on display." She freed Neptune of her Chains and gave her the Clothes back. Imidentley Neptune startet putting them on.
"We had to be sure. We can't be found so...sorry i guess." Once Neptune was dressed she glared at her Edgie Counterpart.
"Not cool lady...not cool. And why did Histy make that stupid joke?" Annoyed Situne look at the Ceiling.
"Well she loves horrible jokes" Histys Voice could be heard again.
"You could say i have a...history with jokes" Situne just groaned loudly while Neptune blinked.
"Great...a Puning Histy. Punsysty." They heard Histoire giggling.
"Oh thats a good one. But i must inform you that Ray wants to talk to you two." Situne sightet.
"Okay come follow me" Neps followed her other self trough tha Silver corridors of the Base until they arrived in what she assumes was Ray's office. But instead they entered a War Room with a large Table and many Chairs but Ray was alone.
"Ah there you two are. I apologize for the ahm...embarrassing awakening Neptune but we had to be sure there was no tracking device in your Clothing...our in you. Now that we now you are safe we can talk in earnest" The two Tunes set down.
"Now my Daughter told me you are a CPU too right?"
"ahm yes..." She was a LITTLE hesitant to talk to this Woman.
"Hm...is ahm there a problem with me?" Neps thought for a moment.
"Kinda. You...did try to kill all CPUs in my World while being a power hungry Monster. SO...are you a CPU too?" Rays Eyes widened.
"H-How do you?...Yes Indeed. I was the only CPU of the first Nation of Tari. But my Nation got...got destroyed long ago by my own incompetence and Arfoires manipulations. After that i tried my best to help the CPUs but...the War broke out anyway do to Arfoire. But please let us not talk about the Past. Neptune...are you able to help us? We give"
"Sure can do no problemo" Ray blinked. Than again.
"Just...just like that?" Neptune nodded.
"Ahm okay...i am thankful of course. Now than ahm...i assume you want to return into your World?"
"Sure wanna do. Can Histy get in here? She would be able to phone the History of my World" Suddenly Histoires Voice was heard again.
"I can do that? How interesting." Neptune again looked around.
"Okay seriously is This History invisible?" Suddenly out of nowhere a Holographic History appeared.
"No my Body got destroyed when Planeptune got opliteratet. But i was able to download all of my consciousness into a few surviving Computer Systems and now here i am. I am the AI of the Base. Now...i Wonder if i can establish Contact with your Histoire even without my Body, it will probably take me a little so please wait" Suddenly a Phone Sound was heard throughout the Roll.
"...i just hope this doesn't take 3 Days lik in the Ultra Dimension" Suddenly a screen light up and to her Surprise...HER Histoire appeared.
"NEPTUNE? IS THAT YOU?" Asked Histoire panicked.
"HISTY. Wow it took only 3 SECONDS? Hey Cyber-Histy wanna switch Dimensions?" Histoire glared at Neptune.
"Neptune there is no time for jokes i...is that another you there and...Ray Rights?" Situne just grunting while Ray politely waved her hand.
"Well...where are you Neptune?" The Protag turned to the two locals.
"How the Dimension called?"
"The Crush Dimension" Said Ray and Histoire paled wich...worried Neptune...A LOT.
"Ahm History? Is there ahm...a Problem?"
"Well...you see Neptune when the Big you visited a few Weeks ago i and Corie had a talk about the different Dimensions. She told me about the Crush Dimension...in...in this World the Humans despise CPUs with every fiber of there being. I'm afraid it will be impossible to ever gather enough Shares to open a Portal...and...and Corie can not safe you" Neptune tilted her head.
"Why's that?" Histoire looked sad to the ground.
"Because of Arfoire. Technically she could enter the World but not leave it. But the problem is well" She did not finish her sentence but Ray did.
"Without CPUs...without Share Energie Arfoire can't be beaten. And with the Humans hating CPUs...that most likely will never happen" The mood in the Room went South...and Neptune did NOT like it.
"Oh Come on we can do it. Listen all we need to to is change People's Mind right? We can do that." Situne narrowed her Eyes.
"And HOW you idiot? Some People go into a fit of Rage if they only HEAR the Word CPU. What do you think will happen if we reveal we ARE CPUs? They will KILL us. On the spot"
"hehe simple Situne. By being good CPUs of course" Everyone just...blankly stared at hair.
"Neptune you are incapable of being a good CPU in a world where the People LIKE you how do you wanna manage it in a World where they all HATE you?" But Neptune still grinned.
"Simple. History...Croire can still open Portals right?" Histoire nodded.
"SO instead of sending People here that can't leave...what about...Objects? Like...Food, clothing and stuff like this?" Both Histoire and Rays eyes widened.
"That...that would definitely help. We barely have enough Ratings to go by. If we had more...if we slowly transform our base into something called a City than...it may yes..." Ray began to mutter so Neptune looked at Situne.
"Where exactly are we?" Situne hesitated a little before she answered.
"In a underground Base. But there is a Village on Top. We actually are on an Island away from Gamindustri, here Are Fire has no influence which is why she has Problems finding us. Lower is simply the Locations where our Teleporters are hidden."
"UHH. That's SOOO Awesome. SO that's the Plan. We build this Village into a REAL Nation. If the People are safe and happy, we may are able to Change their minds" Both looked hesitant but than Ray noded.
"We have no better plan. Miss Histoire when could this...Croire be available?"
"I already send her a Massage. She should be here in ruffley Two Days. We then can start sending over Materials. We should end the call now. I have preparations to do" With that the Call ended and Cyber History spoke again.
"Urgh i was once such a onlooker. I miss a physical Body" Situne and Ray both rolled there Eyes. They then proceed to discuss plans how they could build up the Village. Pure rather Situne and Ray were discussing it while Neptune just napped.
