Chapter 32

When the light dimmed and everyone could see the CPUs again, they could only stare in surprise.

"A new form?!" Stadia gasped in surprise. She and Ouya could tell, instantly, that what they were seeing in front of them was far more potent than the normal HDD states that they had gotten used to over the years. 'There's no way we could beat mom or our aunts right now.'

"W-what are those forms?!" Affimojas asked in surprise as he looked at the new forms of the four CPUs. Where Purple Heart had been, a new CPU seemingly took her place. Her body suit now covered every part of her body, save for her head and was black with blue trim, save for a gray mesh that covered her abdomen, thighs and the inner part of her chest, her hair, while in the same style as Purple Heart, was longer, unbraided and had become lighter in color to the point of being somewhere between purple and blue. The hair clips on her head had opened up and looked like her d-pad hair clips, only black and thinner. On her legs were a pair of metal purple boots that went up to her knees and on her arms were two large purple gauntlets that went from her wrist up to her elbows. Above her hair clips were two large antennae and on her back was a circular object that suddenly exploded outwards and the light looked like an eight-point star. When the light faded, there were eight wings in a circular pattern around her body and two thin, blue rings. In the center of the wings, on the metal circle that they were all connected to was the symbol of Planeptune. In her hands was a single-handed blade that was purple.

"Now, let's end this beautifully." The transformed Green Heart said as she looked herself over. Her feet were covered in metal boots while her legs had a protective covering on them that went up to her middle thighs, her white outfit had changed to black with green bits to it, her hands and wrists were covered in metal gauntlets, her upper left arm had some sort of protector on it, her back had four green wings in an X pattern that had black casing on them, on her head was a horn, her hair had become a darker green in color. The transformed CPU had a black bikini bottom that left part of her butt, her thighs, most of her hips and flat stomach visible while she had a white covering on her large breasts that had a large X in the center of them, a black sleeveless short vest accentuated the outfit.

"Alright!" The transformed White Heart grinned as she hovered there. Her body was covered in a blue body suit with black arm and leg coverings, her feet were covered by large boots that went up to her knees, her hands were covered by large gauntlets that went to her elbows, her hair had gotten slightly darker and her long bangs got even longer. Her wings had become feather-like, she had a giant axe-bow in her hands and a fancy hat on her head with Lowee's symbol on the headband.

The transformed Black Heart just looked at herself in awe. Her arms and legs were encased in a black body suit, large, pointed boots covered her legs from her knees to her feet, while her arms had large black, over-sized gauntlets with parts that were highlighted blue. Her stomach, chest, breasts, butt and crotch were covered by a blue body suit while her butt, crotch and breasts were all covered by harder black metal acting as protection. Her hair changed slightly, remaining long and free, but having two ponytails hanging down from the top of her head, making her new form look almost like a mixture of both her HDD and human forms hair style. Her eyes were bright blue with an extra bar in the power symbol and on her head was some sort of head piece that looked like fancy headphones while a scanner formed over her right eye. The wings on her back had changed as well, where before they were blue and triangular, they had become more mechanical in nature and thinner, like prongs on a tuning fork.

In the center of her chest was the symbol for Lastation.

"Next form, awakening complete." Next Purple said calmly as she did an internal analysis of her new form. "Interesting, yes, this is much better for me."

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Next Black started cackling in delight. "Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!" Her voice was deeper and more sultry. "I've never felt so powerful before!"

"I don't think I could lose to anyone like this." Next White grinned in delight.

"I feel powerful wishes from everyone in Gamindustri." Next Green said as she smiled happily. "How much they wish and desire us in their lives as their CPUs."

"Wow..." Nepgear gasped in surprise. "Neptune, everyone..."

"So awesome! They powered up?!" Ram gasped in delight and surprise.

"Not just any power up." B-Sha gave a thumb's up. "This is what happens when you take our Gold Power and fuse it with your Share Crystals into the Hyper Share Crystal."

"They've evolved into new forms, far more powerful than anything ever seen before." C-Sha answered as well.

"I see..." Affimojas said as he stood tall, a dark aura surrounding him. "Then bring it, Next Gen CPUs! I'll show you that between this Anti-Crystal and my cloak, even your new power will be useless."

"You sure are full of yourself." Next Black smirked at Affimojas as she formed a new sword. She gave a quick look behind her and the other three CPUs nodded as Next Green floated forward. "Vert! You know what to do."

"Yes." Next Green nodded, while she didn't know where this move came from, it felt completely natural.

The two Next Gen CPUs rushed forward, slamming into Affimojas in an X-strike, before they both spun around and with a yell, they hit him over and over again from multiple angles, causing him to stagger backwards.

"DE-YAAAH!" Next White came out of nowhere and slammed her axe-bow into Affimojas from above, causing him to slam into the floor and bounce off of it. "Neptune! Finish it!"

Next Purple came flying in with her sword extended. "Take the power of Hyper Dimension's Next Gen CPUs." As she passed Affimojas, she swung her sword, hitting him and causing an explosion that caused the large robot to crash into the ground in a heap. 'How did they know that move?' She thought to herself, knowing that she hadn't known how to do that move until after she had been trapped in the Ultra Dimension.

Next Black smirked as her eye-piece put up a display on Affimojas. "Seems that..." Her smirk died a painful death as Affimojas stood up with no problem. "Uh oh."

"Is that it?" Affimojas asked as a dark aura surrounded him, spiraling around his sword before he swung it out, four spiraling streams of dark energy chased the CPUs, who scattered. Next Purple looked back and her eyes widened as the dark spiraling energy got closer and closer. "Take this, you, what?!" He gasped in surprise.

"I got this!" Purple Sister yelled as she appeared between Next Purple and the energy wave, holding up a barrier and stopping the attack. White Sister Rom was protecting Next Green while White Sister Ram protected Next White and Black Sister protected Next Black. "Leave the defense to us, just beat him."

"Thank you, Nepgear." Next Purple smiled and nodded at the others as they all rushed at Affimojas.

The large knight-like robot just stood there, waiting for a moment before he grabbed Next Purple when she got close and spun around, using the momentum to throw her into Next Green. He blocked Next White's Axe-Bow with his sword and caught Next Black's sword strike with his bare hand. "Don't!" He pushed Next White off of him and lifted Next Black up before slamming her down onto the ground. "Underestimate me!"

"Fair enough," Next Green smirked as she recovered and rushed forward. "How about my Spiral Break then?!" She yelled just as she increased her speed so much that she seemed like a blur, slamming into Affimojas before turning around and hitting him over and over again before flying above him and throwing her spear at him, causing him to grunt out as he staggered back. "Impressive defense. BLANC!"

"I'm on it!" Next White yelled as she ran at him. "Getter Ravine!"

"No you don't!" Affimojas yelled and swung his sword up to block her attack. He let out a grunt as he realized that she was much stronger than he had anticipated, forcing him to use both hands to grip his sword and push against the axe-bow. As his sword started to crack, he let out a yell and pushed her away, only to cry out in surprise as a black and blue blur slammed into him. "WHAT?!"

"Infinite Slash!" Next Black cried out as she slammed into Affimojas over and over again, shattering his sword and tattering his cloak. "Neptune!"

Affimojas looked up to see Next Purple's sword glowing and letting out a streak of yellow energy. He grabbed his cloak by the edges and pulled it up to block the attack. When a powerful energy wave came out of Next Purple's sword and engulfed him, he cried out in pain even as his cloak cracked and shattered, forcing him to his hands and knees while Next Purple landed next to the other Next Gen CPUs.

"Is it over?" Next Purple asked.

"It figures," Affimojas said as he stood up, a dark aura surrounding him, "you just can't trust tools... TO GET THE JOB DONE!" He rushed at the Next Gen CPUs, shocking them as he punched Next Purple in the face before grabbing Next White by her head and slamming her into the ground, head first. He lashed out with a punch that hit Next Green in the stomach and sent her flying before he pulled Next White up and threw her at Next Purple. He rushed at Next Black and grabbed her by her ankle before spinning her around above his head and slamming her onto the ground.

"HEY!" Affimojas turned just in time to have Purple Sister rushing in with a slash as she passed him. "YAAAH!" Purple Sister yelled as she fired several shots after she passed him, only for Black Sister to follow up with a few shots of her own, surrounding Affimojas with an energy field.

"We're next!" White Sister Ram said as she and White Sister Rom crossed their staves as ice exploded out from under Affimojas and then several large ice chunks slammed into the frozen Affimojas, pinning him down even more.

"Nepgear! Finish it!" Black Sister yelled out as Purple Sister pointed her gunblade at Affimojas.

"Multiple Beam Launcher! DEYAAAH!" Purple Sister yelled as she fired a blast into the ice pillar, causing it to detonate.

Watching what was going on, Stadia stared in shock. '...She seems like a flake, but maybe Aunt Nepgear really is as cool as mom made her out to be.'

"How did they know mom's favorite combination attack with Aunt Noire, Aunt Vert and Aunt Blanc?" Ouya asked and Stadia shrugged, not sure herself.

Purple Sister landed next to Black Sister and looked at the downed form of Affimojas, who groaned and pushed himself up, causing the CPU Candidates to step back in surprise. "Impossible! Even CFW Magic fell to that attack."

"Steamax warned me that Affimojas was stronger than he was too." Black Sister muttered.

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Two people started laughing, one of them was Affimojas, and the other, to everyone's shock, was Next Black.

"This is exhilarating!" Affimojas seemed to be grinning as he stood to his full height. And despite the obvious damage to his body, he seemed like he hadn't lost an ounce of his strength.

"I couldn't agree more." Next Black was beaten, dirty and a little blood was seeping from her lips. "I haven't had this much fun in a fight in years." Yet, despite that, she was grinning from ear to ear as her eye-piece was scanning Affimojas's body.

"I agree," Next White grinned as she held her axe-bow in front of her.

"We should end this quickly." Next Purple said as she stood there.

"Oh, where's your sense of fun, Neptune?" Next Green smirked. "I could fight for another couple of hours at least."

"Good for you, but the longer this drags on, the more likely we are to lose." Next Purple said, not showing the same level of enjoyment in the fight that the others were.

"Wow, what a wet blanket." Affimojas, Next Black, Next White and Next Green all deadpanned in disappointment.

"Fine!" Next White said as she dismissed her axe-bow. "I guess I can test out the full power of the Next Form." A large magic circle formed besides her as a giant blaster gun came out of it. "Gun controller, remote," a remote controller appeared in her left hand and she slammed it into the hilt of the gun. "FIRE!" The barrel opened up and extended, becoming a tuning fork as energy crackled between the prongs for a moment before firing and engulfing Affimojas, who crossed his arms and grunted out in pain even as his body seemingly disappeared into the energy.

"Did it get him?" Next White asked and she gasped as Affimojas was slumped over and smoking, but not out. "Dammit, what the..." She gasped as she felt herself losing power. "What the hell?!" She gasped as she slumped down onto her knees and then onto her butt. 'I've never felt this tired before.'

"Enhanced HDD states are indeed powerful," Next Purple informed Blanc and the others, "but the downside is that the new forms and any new powers they have is incredibly taxing on your body and will force you back into your human forms to protect you as soon as you hit a certain threshold."

"Good to know." Next Black said as she let loose a burst of speed from her wings and slashed into Affimojas over and over again before jumping back and four more swords formed besides her in an X-pattern, each of them a different color. "Diagonal Blade Wild Sword Dance." She rushed in again, hitting Affimojas with each sword over and over again before flying back and up, a circle forming under her feet as her four extra swords formed around her. A burst of speed and she rushed at Affimojas with her right arm extended. "The final strike!"

Affimojas cried out as she passed him, the final attack engulfing him in an explosion of energy.

"How do you," Next Black gasped as she felt her power draining from her body, reverting her to her human form, "like that?" Like Blanc, Noire found herself sinking to her knees and then onto her butt as her body felt completely drained and worn out.

Affimojas groaned as his body started to crack and spark. "I'm not done yet!" He rushed at the two powered-down CPUs, only to find Next Green in front of him.

"You're done." Next Green intoned as she held her hand out in front of her and dozens of spears were launched at Affimojas, causing him to stagger back before a dome of circles formed around him and even more spears slammed into him from all sides before a pillar of raw green energy blasted him from above. "And that..." Next Green gasped as she felt her energy leaving her, forcing her back into her human form, where she staggered and shook her head in surprise. "Was a lot more intense than I thought possible." Her legs twitched and she fell on her butt hard, causing her to wince and her large breasts to wobble from the action.

Affimojas was on his knees, his body slumped and unresponsive.

"That's..." Next Purple gasped as his body was engulfed in dark energy again and he stood up. "No way."

"I WON'T LOSE!" Affimojas yelled as power erupted from him. "FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THE BUSTY BLONDES EVERYWHERE!"

"General! Stop!" Steamax yelled as he appeared in front of Affimojas and spread his arms wide. "If you keep going, you're going to die."

"Get out of the way, Steamax!" Affimojas ordered him. "I will not tolerate insubordination!"

"I refuse." Steamax shook his head while holding his arms to the side. "You were the first person to ever believe in me and trust me. It was you who taught me to believe in myself and found worth in me. I refuse to let you die."

Affimojas loomed over Steamax. "Steamax... Thank you."

The next thing the Ninja knew, he was being struck in the stomach by Affimojas and launched across the room. "GENERAL?!" Steamax cried out in shock and pain as he crashed into a wall and slid to the floor.

"I won't have you getting in my way." Affimojas said as he looked at Next Purple. "If it is my destiny to die here, I will not drag you into it."

Next Purple gave Affimojas a smile of respect. "Very well, I'll finish this off with my next move." Power built up from within her. "I know that must have been hard." Affimojas nodded at her and the two shared a silent moment of understanding as they both built up power for their next attack.

Steamax saw Next Purple take a stance and her sword get longer and longer. "Lady Neptune! Please! Don't kill him!" He struggled to get to his feet and stumbled down, only to be caught by Black Sister. "Lady Uni?"

"Just watch." Black Sister smiled at Steamax. "If there's one person who can save your friend without killing him, it's Neptune."

Steamax looked at her and nodded, watching as Next Purple rushed at Affimojas, who charged at her, but comparatively, he was standing still, and she slammed her sword forward and cutting him with a single stroke.

"It's over." Next Purple intoned and sighed as she reverted to her human form. "PHEW! That was hard." Unlike Vert, Blanc or Noire, she didn't immediately fall onto her butt, having experienced the effects of such a powerful drain before.

Affimojas let out a groan and cried out as the black aura suddenly evaporated from his body. He then slumped to his knees and fell flat on his face, where he laid still.

"Neptune!" Purple Sister flew to her sister, who was panting softly. "Is he..?"

"He's alive." Neptune smiled and fell to her butt. "That attack I used was pretty potent, I just cut the energy that was powering him up the entire time."

"You can cut concepts now?!" Stadia asked, giving Neptune a weird look. "Then..."

"Well," Neptune smiled and rubbed the back of her head as she giggled. "I kind of can't feel my legs right now, kind of over-did it there."

Purple Sister sighed and helped Neptune stand up. "Why do you have to make me worry so much?"

"I thought I was the older sister." Neptune asked and both of them shared a laugh.

S-Sha helped Vert stand up while K-Sha helped Noire stand up and C-Sha helped Blanc stand up, or rather, she picked up Blanc, bridal style and just giggled as Blanc started to threaten her.

"Dammit, I'm so going to kick your ass when I recover!" Blanc yelled at C-Sha, who just smiled at her.

"I might enjoy it, you know." She winked and Blanc's face turned bright red.

"Lady Neptune..." Steamax spoke up as Black Sister, who transformed back into Uni, helped him walk over. "I apologize for all the trouble that the general and I have caused you. Can I please ask that you do not..."

"Just come back to the Basilicom and answer some questions, okay?" Neptune interrupted him and winked at him. "If you and the general answer everything, then we'll keep any punishment you have to go through as light as possible."

"Of course." Steamax nodded, sighing in relief. "I... Thank you so much, Lady Neptune."

Neptune smiled at looked at everyone. "Let's go back, everyone."

"What about this guy?" Ram asked as she poked Affimojas.

"Don't we have hover planks or something for carrying heavy things around?" Noire asked and Nepgear let IF and Compa take Neptune before pulling out a board that hovered off the ground. "...Why do you have one on you?"

Nepgear blushed and poked her fingers together. "Well, you never know when a cool robot will appear in front of you and not explode. So I thought it would be a good idea to have one on hand just in case we ran into another CFW Brave or something."

Uni gave Nepgear a look of surprise, but smiled as she realized why Nepgear had one. "Thanks, Nepgear."

"Did you say something?" Nepgear asked in confusion.

"Nothing at all." Uni said as the twins used their magic to load Affimojas up.

"What about the machine that was.." Neptune trailed off and looked at Steamax. "...Or was that weird power that the general had the reason everything went crazy?" Steamax nodded and Neptune sighed. "Alright, well, let's go home."

The others nodded and left the ship behind.

After they left, a blue-haired girl appeared while giving the entire area an amused look. "What an impressive bunch, defeating Affimojas after I powered him up as much as I did with the Gold Third. And to not only beat him, but to break the power of delusion that had taken over the world at the same time."

"So what happens next, Uzume?" Another person asked and Uzume turned to see the bigger Neptune standing there next to a portal.

"I'll let them have some time to recover." Uzume told her and sighed. "And for some reason, I feel an urge to let those two enjoy their time with the smaller Nepsy. At least for awhile." Neptune nodded at Uzume. "Anyway, Nepsy, I need you and Crosy to go to the Ultra Dimension for a little bit."

Neptune gave her a confused look. "Uh... Okay, but why?"

"I need you to get me an object." Uzume said while giving Neptune a smile. "Think of it as a just in case kind of thing."

"Sure." Neptune nodded. When Uzume explained what it was, she nodded again. "Got it, I'll be back in a little bit." A portal opened behind her and she paused at the look Uzume was giving her. "...What?"

"You're far too good for me." Uzume said and Neptune blinked in confusion. "Nothing, just go." Neptune nodded and walked through the portal, leaving Uzume alone. "...Why do I feel like this around her? She almost makes me feel happy."


That was fun. I hope you all enjoyed it.

I really do enjoy actor allusion tropes. If you can't figure out what I'm talking about, then realize that Affimojas and Lordgenome from Gurren Lagann have the same English VA. Now go back and re-read that fight scene and imagine it's Lordgenome.

Maybe I should have made the aura that surrounded Affimojas red and dark? Hmm...

And that was the end of the Hyper Dimension G arc. Up next, the Heart Dimension G arc. Well, I guess a chapter that'll be a nice breather episode.

Oh, and before I forget, have a safe and sound Christmas.
