Welp, I'm back to finish this story. I could have left this around, but if I leave this hanging, then it will eternally plague me all my life.

Things are better again, so let's start.


Chapter 33: Our Efforts

"Let's go!" Purple Sister and Purple Heart charged ahead and immediately clashed with Lilac Heart head-on, who countered with her Gehaburn and tried to stab either of them.

"Weak. Far too weak." She responded and flew to the side, attempting to slash at the other CPUs instead of her current enemies.

"Back off!" Black Sister and MAGES. rapid-fired different elemental bullets and blasts against her while Black Heart and Green Heart charged forward to intercept her.

"You'd do best to avoid getting in our way any further." Shadow Sister CD replied before she and her sister interfered by grasping both CPUs by their arms and pulling them out of the way. Lilac Heart continued to charge at Black Sister with the sword at front, but suddenly Big Neptune appeared before her.

"I may not want to hurt you, but I don't want you to hurt any of my friends either!" Big Neptune yelled out by standing in front of her while MAGES. created a magical barrier to prevent harm.

"Dream Combo!" Orange Heart flew in front of her and instantly started pummeling her, however she quickly used her Gehaburn to block most of the hits. Continously deflecting the attacks without problem, but they managed to make her back away.

"Tch. So that's your self-proclaimed teamwork?" Lilac Heart grabbed her by the arms and threw her on the ground, freezing her arms into an ice block before charging at Purple Sister again.

"It's so cold!" Orange Heart's hands were frozen and she was stuck on the ground, MAGES. came closer and tried to melt the ice.

"If you're really me from a different dimension, then how about you show me how strong you really are!" Lilac Heart declared as her Gehaburn started glowing and she aimed at Purple Sister with the edge.

"Fine! Slash Wave!" She did the same, her Share Blade shining brightly with hope before she unleashed a white glistering wave from her blade whereas Lilac Heart fired a large ominous purple wave at her. The two Waves colliding and creating a large scale explosion that temporarily stripped them of their sight.

"Snap out of it! This isn't who you are!" Purple Heart charged forward and kicked Lilac Heart with all her strength in the stomach before the latter grabbed her by the leg.

"I'm the only one who can decide that! There's no point in listening to people like you, I can't stand looking at the ones that forced me to this!" Lilac Heart yelled out before she threw Purple Heart against the ground.

"Even I have to say that this kind of behaviour is pretty terrible." MAGES. figured as she unleashed a large magical blast at her in an attempt to stall you.

"You can all come up and face me at once, I would enjoy adding the souls of even more CPUs to my blade to make me stronger! Not to mention, I'd enjoy seeing all of you leave from my life." She told them and started glowing.

"Why you little...!" White Heart charged forward and struck with her axe, but Lilac Heart continously dodged the attacks as they kept flying across the battlefield.

"Violet Crusher!" She swings her Gehaburn, slowly forming a dark purple glow around the blade before slashing at her with full force. With that strength, she pushed through their assault and prepared to strike them down.

"It's not over yet!" Green Heart and Purple Heart flew ahead and pierced at her with their weapons by using their speed to full effect.

"Get out of the way! Frozen Prism!" Shadow Sister SD declared as she trapped both of their enemies's processors in heavy crystalized ice to prevent them from moving any further.

"Now to make you melt." CD flew towards them, transforming her scepter into a flaming sword and striking at the CPUs, but Purple Heart quickly blocked by using her legs.

"Down with you!" Big Neptune and jumped forward and struck SD with her twin blades.

"Slash Raketen!" Big Neptune jumped up, slashing once from left, then again from the right before dashing forward while inflicting a cross-shaped slash before she started falling down to the ground.

"And for the finishing Bang." She pulled out her gun and shot at the two Shadow Sisters, causing a huge explosion mid-air before Purple Heart caught her.

"Here's another Bang for you." Lilac Heart appeared over them and attempted to strike at them before White Heart rushed in front of them, blocking her slash.

"Still standing? Just how resillient are you?" Lilac Heart twirled her blade and hit her in the stomach with the hilt, weakening her for a short moment before inflicting a powerful slash wave across her body.

"No way...she's even stronger than we thought." White Heart figured as she saw her immense power firsthand.

"It's not so much that she's stronger, rather it seems like she's fully unrestrained now. She's technically the same, but something...Kurome did something." MAGES. figured as she started to heal her. "It'd be weird for her to never use her full power, the idea that she is no longer held back by her personality seemed logical."

"That's pretty horrifying to think about." Uni thought about.

"Being nice and friendly didn't work when you're face to face with people who don't give a damn about Gamindustri as a whole." She told them and started acting a lot calmer for a moment before immediately charging at them in the blink of an eye.

"Here's a demonstration!" She yelled at them as she pointed her blade at them, a strange blue energy was enveloping it instead before she swung it deep into the ground.

"Ice Burial!" Large ice spikes grew out of the ground and chased all the CPUs, the ice slowly spreading across the ground and chasing him.

"The ice of your soul is no match for the flames of hell!" MAGES. swung her staff and launched a massive fire blast to melt the ice spikes coming their in an instant.

"I've tried believing in my self, I've tried believing that I could keep Gamindustri safe, but all that didn't prove to be true. All I did for the few years was dwell in the delusion that I made myself believe!" Lilac Heart screamed as the dark energy around her started growing stronger and less contained as her processors were slowly being covered in black.

"Excellent! Her power is rising, it's rising! Mistress will be pleased with the results of this!" The Shadow Sisters yelled out as their task was a success and her power was steadily rising.

"Now, kill them!"

"Don't tell me what to do!" Lilac Heart yelled back and fired a Slash Wave at them which they were promptly forced to block.

"How dare you attack us? You are loyal to our master and by extension to us as operative, you have no allowance to attack us!" CD yelled at her, enraged at her behaviour.

"I don't recall saying that I'm a servant to her, I prefer working by myself when it comes down to it." She told them before giving them a menacing glare. "Un...der...stood?"

"Tch, what a troublemaker. Fine, we'll take the scrubs and you can deal with the rest." The Shadow Sisters figured and pointed at the CPUs of Lowee.

"You three, we have some unfinished buisness to deal with." Spell Circles appeared underneath all of them before they were teleported somewhere else.

"Now that we can properly fight, I do wonder what is stronger. A holy blade forged from shares, a force of the good in Gamindustri or my cursed blade, my loyal object of malice and destruction." She declared before instantly appearing behind Nepgear in an instant.

"Just a little stab...to find out!"

"I won't allow it!" Nepgear did a rapid movement and quickly blocked the hit with her own weapon before Orange Heart charged forward and punched her.

"Mirage Dance!" Nepgear dashed forward and attacked Lilac Heart at max speed, inflicting minor damage with several attacks all round.

"Thirty-two Bit Megablade!" Purple Heart immediately summoned a massive blade from above while Black Heart and Orange Heart flew into the fray and kept trying to attack her without mercy.

"Sylhet Spear!" Green Heart yelled out as she summoned a spear to from above aswell.

"What's this? Did you form a strategy or are you just trying to pummel me with force?" Lilac Heart wondered as she countered Black Heart's attacks and avoided Orange Hearts.

"We'll show that united we can defeat you no matter what!" Purple Sister yelled out as the massive blade was slowly falling towards them at a slow pace.

"Thunder Crush!" Black Heart charged her blade with electricity before she managed to hit her at full force, electrocuting her thoroughly.

"That's simply absurd!" Lilac Heart yelled out and grabbed Black Heart by the neck and pointed her towards the them.

"W-WHat are you doing!?" Black Heart asked before Lilac Heart started cletching her neck even harder, causing her to be silent.

"Are you willing to work united to this degree?" She asked them, if they keep attacking, then Noire will be caught in their attack.

"No!" Purple Heart immediately withdrew her attack alongside Vert and left her guard open, at that moment Lilac Heart immediately threw her towards Purple Sister.

"I thought so, your little unity has no true use except to vandalize your own strategy in the end." She charged ahead and sheathed the Gehaburn in purple energy before striking.

"Chaos Quartet!" Lilac Heart moved quickly and slashed each of the CPU across the stomach, starting with Green Heart and Purple Heart before she charged at Nepgear.

"Bit Slash!" Nepgear responded quickly and slashed before her, the slash was followed by a massive bit explosion that knocked her back.

"Delta Slash!" Purple Heart immediately seized the oppurturnity and delivered three consecutive slashes at her, the first hitting full front and the second hitting next, but Lilac Heart managed to outmanuver the last slash despite being trapped.

"What do you think I am? I'm not a stationary target!" Lilac Heart used the Gehaburn and broke the cube she was trapped in with it, flying upwards.

"Something is wrong, I feel...weaker." Purple Heart noticed her powers partially diminishing.

"You are strong, very much so. But your power is nothing compared to Arfoire, Rei or even mine, however your teamwork is quite admirable. You managed to even the odds in this battle quite a bit, is this what it means to be strong together?"

"Yes, with our teamwork we can take you on! Since you're Kurome's control, we have to save you and we knew full well of how dangerous you are." Nepgear replied.

"Under Kurome's control? That isn't exactly right to label me as, I'd much prefer...a willing ally." Lilac Heart answered. "You may think my thoughts were changed by her, but this is merely a part of me that I sealed away long ago."

"What?! You mean you are working for her out of your own free will?! But why?" Big Neptune asked with absolute shock.

"She must have convinced you by offering you something. Why else would you help her?" Uzume asked her.

"No such thing, she merely tampered with my memories and emotions. I have absolute self-control over myself and over any of my decisions, she simply reawakened that which I had sealed away deep within me." Lilac Heart replied to them. "Emotions and memories I supressed because I bound myself to their wishes."

"Then there's no reason to do all this, if you really aren't under mind control, then why are you opposing us?!" Nepgear yelled out in anger.

"Because I hold no attachment to you, your world or even my world. When the time came and I absolutely failed in life, I realized that the world is unfair to us CPU and decided to change my behaviour a bit." She started talking and lowered her blade, her presence even calming.

"I couldn't stand the treatment of these insolent citizen anymore and then...it all just went wrong as some people would put it, but I sealed away that good-hearted nature long ago to achieve more, to not be someone who would be used or controlled by the masses for her idiocy and belief in others!" Lilac Heart enraged as the dark energy surrounding her grew far more powerful and uncontrollable, her HDD form slowly being overtaken by darkness.

"I was sick of being a slave to them, to the oracles and worst of all: YOU!"

"What...?"

"Day and night, I made myself overwork, ruin my interests, friendships and my own life and why!? Because I had to keep myself back for your damn wishes and desires! Kurome showed me, she showed me that I shouldn't be a damn slave to your whims, to nobody, not even her!" She enraged, the darkness started spreading across her HDD Form.

"This is not good...her transformation is starting to change for the worse." Orange Heart thought as she noticed her body changing and growing more dark and shadowy like a Dark CPU.

"Please, calm down! Just give us a chance to help you!" Big Neptune asked of her, getting closer.

"A chance that was long overdue, I don't want it anymore and I don't need it either. I like being this twisted and delusioned, it's a far better feeling than being a fucking good girl who lets everyone insult her like I'm some kind of living doormat." Big Nepgear explained to them as she grew a twisted smile.

"That releasing sensation of finally killing someone you hated so much, it's so pleasing when I finally got to kill that bastard." Lilac Haert laughed as her face took unnatural shapes, but at the same time it seemed like a tear was flowing down her face.

"Being someone with no free will or someone that holds sympathy for nobody is suffering, I'd rather be someone who doesn't have to lie about themselves anymore. I'm not upholding the legacy of the others because I can't, but because I no longer will." She told them as she simply wiped the tear off like it was nothing.

"I thought it's important that you'll all be remembered, but everyone told me that I shouldn't...I can't hold the fate of Gamindustri on my shoulders anymore, heck I'm not the one who can decide all this by myself. Who am I to decide the fate of an nation, or even the entire world?" Big Nepgear raised the Gehaburn as it slowly glew and started moving crazily.

"I don't think I'm redeemable, but by all means...try it." Her eyes glew brightly in terrifying red that shot fear and confusion into their souls.

"Let's put this game to an end."


In another sub-section of the Heart Dimension...

"This rematch has been long overdue to me, I will enjoy the chance to give you the fate I wanted you to have." Shadow Sister CD told her as they were in a far severed area of the dimension now. On the other side of this area stood the CPUs of Lowee, ready for battle.

"I believe we can say the same thing." White Heart told them, drawing her axe and getting closer. "Bring it on, you jackass!"

"Hm, how vulgar. Taste of Hell!" Shadow Sister CD and SD channeled immense magic within their hands before unleashing large-scale fire cyclones at them from the palm of their hands.

"How easy! White Heart countered, swinging her axe with so much force that the combined fire storm was effortlessly blown away.

"Tch! So this is how you intend to counter our magic?" Both of them wondered. "Fine then, it's not like that's the only things we can excel at."

They resorted to summoning their scepters and readied them selves as they charged ahead from two different sides and directions.

"Take this!" Ram and Rom aimed for them and casted their spell, but the two of them quickly charged forward and bypassed the spells.

"They are so fast." Ram continously fired ice at them, but their enemies were just too fast.

"Die!" CD charged forward and tried to strike, but in the middle of her attack she was knocked over.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, you cocky fakers." White Heart swung her axe swiftly and knocked CD back before Rom and Ram started their counter-attack, burrowing them in massive piles of ice before Rom closed in and followed up with her own spell.

"Ice Buckshot!" Rom manifested a magical circle in front of them and rapid-fired ice shards from it, shooting faster than Uni can and not stopping any time soon.

"Infernal Countershot!" Shadow Sister SD yelled out as she unleashed the exact opposite of Rom's skill, generating a hellishly fast volley of fire bolts against her, each of them colliding with hers and causing small explosions.

"Equally matched, huh? Looks like some things haven't changed from last time, but we won't lose to the likes of you. Not after all this time." Shadow Sister CD replied as she replaced her scepter and conjured a magical spear to pierce her enemies instead, but at the last moment someone intervened.

"Hey, don't you remember me?" Ram charged forward and held her in check by using her staff perfectly, holding the spear in check just before she got closer and disarmed her.

"Don't get in my way!" CD took the chance and attempted to kick Ram just like once before, but she easily dodged and grabbed her leg tightly.

"I won't let you do that this time, this time you can be the one who ends up with a crippled leg!" Ram declared as she proceeded to hit her, once against the legs and right afterwards hitting her in the face with her staff which caused her to become disoriented from the impact.

"That hurt, you little bitch!" CD grabbed her spear and tried to hit her, slashing a small wound open on her arm before SD simply tackled her in teamwork with her sister.

"You think that hurts? It barely tickles." Ram responded and countered by pressing her staff against her and slowly pushing her against the wall. "Blanc, you're up!"

"Getter Ravine!" White Heart immediately appeared in front of her with her axe closing in, the last thing that CD saw was the axe closing in to her face before it was all over in a bright strike.

"FUCK!" Shadow Sister CD was hit in the face at full force, torn and hit all across by Blanc with immense amounts of force as everything turned black and white to her before she crashed face-flat into the walls, causing a massive crater.

"CD?" SD noticed her sister taking serious damage, she quickly tried launching an counterattack, but Blanc immediately stopped her and held an axe close to their necks.

"Don't try anything funny, you piece of shit."

"Why you...!" SD waited and tried to find the perfect oppurturnity to strike before she suddenly noticed something and removed her weapon.

"What? Why did you stop now of all times?" Rom asked her as she temporarily stopped her attacks aswell.

*rumble* *rumble*

"What is happening?" Rom wondered before she turned around to see the dimension starting to fade and grow dark and distorted, everything felt crumbling and cracking.

"That must be that stupid friend of yours, I sense a lot of uncontrollable energy going havoc. This dimension is going to break down at this rate." SD figured as she pulled her sister towards her.

"I'd love to play with you more, but you're all doomed now anyway. Our master will be satisfied with the result." SD and CD quickly opened a portal and sent all of them back to the others as they made their way back to the main event.

"This will be Game Over."
