Chapter 39
"Frozen Queen of the North?" Noire asked and raised an eyebrow. "Interesting, never met you before."
The Frozen Queen of the North chuckled behind her mask. "I would suspect not, you aren't the Noire I know from my world."
"How? HOW?!" Stadia snarled as she glared at the Frozen Queen of the North. "HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!"
"This question again?" The Frozen Queen asked, sighing softly. "Surely you should know..." She trailed off and shook her head. "So... You three." She tapped her fan against her open hand. "I'm sure that you three have some... Grievances that you wish to get out."
"Yes." Vert nodded and grinned as she looked at Nepgear, who gulped. "I guess, if no one minds, I'd love to deal with my dear Nepgear."
"Fine with me." Blanc said as she walked over to Rom and Ram. "I'd love to teach these little shits a permanent lesson."
"Oh Uni..." Noire said sweetly as she walked up to Uni and materialized her sword. "Won't you be a good little sister and die for me?"
"W...What's going on?" Uni asked as she took a step back.
"Hmm?" The Frozen Queen looked at the Gold Third. "Ah, we can't have people interfering with family affairs, now can we?" She asked and raised her hand up and snapped her fingers.
Ouya went pale and spun around. "No! Get out of here!" She yelled at the Gold Third, only to tremble as she watched all four of the Gold Third get smashed to the ground.
"What the hell?" S-Sha asked as she scrambled to her feet while gripping the back of her head. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw something that looked like her, but was completely engulfed in shadow. "What's this?!" She idly noted that K-Sha, B-Sha and C-Sha all had similar looking shadow copies.
"The reason she's called the Frozen Queen..." Stadia growled as she trembled. "Is because she can create clones out of people's shadows and then encase them in ice."
"Hahahahahaha!" Noire laughed as she, Vert and Blanc all transformed, the power symbols in their eyes were a bright red. "How interesting, very interesting."
"B...Big Sis, Vert..." Nepgear looked at Green Heart as she was slammed against a wall while Green Heart squeezed her throat, cutting off her air. "W...why?"
"Because I despise you." Green Heart sneered at her. "I gave you love, I stayed up for days on end to comfort you and you cried for a worthless bitch of an elder sister who ran off for years, got married and spread her legs like a worthless whore."
The Frozen Queen chuckled as she watched Ouya and Stadia transform. "My, oh my, it does seem like that girl has some serious pain to work though." She walked forward as Rainbow Heart charged her. "Nice try." She whispered and parried the blow with her fan before grabbing Rainbow Heart's extended arm. "What a naughty girl." She said before lifting up and slamming Rainbow Heart to the ground. "You need a spanking."
Rainbow Heart groaned in pain as she was slammed into the ground hard. "You aren't my mother!" Her snarl increased as the Frozen Queen just chuckled at her.
"D'yahh!" Gray Heart yelled as she snapped her yo-yo out at the Frozen Queen, only to have a bunch of ice daggers snap out, snapping the string into pieces and causing the yo-yo to fall to the ground harmlessly. "...What?"
"Dear, did you really think that I wouldn't know how to fight against that?" The Frozen Queen asked, her voice cold.
White Heart smirked as she missed with her axe swing. "Oh, come on, Rom, Ram, I just want to spend some quality time with you."
"N-No..." Rom trembled in fear.
"Stop it, Blanc!" Ram yelled and gulped as White Heart sneered at her. "Please? Why are you like this? EEK!" She yelled as several magic bullets were launched from Blanc, slamming into her and Rom, knocking them both down as their arms and legs got cut up.
"Now, now..." White Heart loomed over them. "Little brats should be seen and not heard, right?" She smiled sweetly as her sisters trembled.
Not far away, Uni gasped as Black Heart grabbed her by her head to hold her in place before slamming a knee into her chest, causing her to fly back. "N-Noire... That..." She coughed and grimaced in pain.
"Come on, Uni..." Black Heart smirked at her. "Aren't you a tough girl? Or are you just a weak, sniveling coward?"
Uni gasped and struggled to her feet. "D...Darn it, what's going on?" This wasn't like Noire, even the fake Noires that they had faced in the past never acted like this.
Meanwhile, Uzume ran towards the blue-haired Uzume, who was looking around the pods in confusion. "Hey!" The blue-haired Uzume turned to look at the redhead. "What's going on? Where's Nepsy?"
"That..." The blue-haired Uzume scratched her head in confusion. "That's something I don't get either." She couldn't understand it. "Croire, why are you laughing?"
"Because you haven't figured it out." The dark-skinned fairy smirked and looked at what was happening. "Though I'm sure that won't last long."
"Huh?" Both Uzumes gave her a confused look.
"STOP!" Peashy yelled as she did a diving kick at Green Heart, who dodged out of the way, but in doing so, she dropped Nepgear, who crumpled to the ground and coughed. "Why?! Beru Beru!"
Green Heart sneered at her. "Why? Why not? All this worthless brat did was cry for her worthless big sister and even had a mental breakdown over it." She scoffed as her spear appeared in her hand. "And even now, while the rest of us are having fun with our sisters..." She chuckled as she watched the Gold Third struggling to keep up with their shadow selves, "she's nowhere to be found."
"That's not true..." Plutia said softly, though with an air of tension that caused everyone to stop fighting. "Neppy's here."
Gray Heart looked at Plutia and saw her troubled look. "What do you mean?" When Plutia looked at the Frozen Queen, she looked back and forth in absolute confusion. "Auntie, what's going on?"
"You should remove the mask." Plutia told the Frozen Queen.
The Frozen Queen chuckled at her. "And why should I do that? Can you tell me one good reason to do that?"
"Because it's time to show them the truth." Plutia told her softly. "We've held this secret for far too long."
"Please...?" Peashy looked at the Frozen Queen while trembling. "...Take off the mask, Neptuna!"
"...What?" Rainbow Heart asked, her face going pale as the Frozen Queen sighed and put a hand on the porcelain mask and lifted it up. "It's... Not possible." She trembled as she saw the Frozen Queen's body change in front of her. While the outfit and hair-style stayed the same, the hair color changed to a dark purple and her eyes shifted from amber to blue. "...MOM?!"
Purple Heart sighed softly and put the mask away. "Really, I don't get what's so surprising. You admitted it that I haven't aged since I was the Mole Queen of the North." She had an unusually cold look on her face.
"N...No way." Nepgear coughed as she looked at Purple Heart. "B...But I thought..."
"YOU KNEW?!" Rainbow Heart glared at Plutia. "Why didn't you tell us?!" She looked back at Purple Heart, staring in disbelief. "...All those things you taught us, about being proper CPUs... AND YOU MADE US DO SO MANY HORRIBLE THINGS?!" She screamed and rushed at Purple Heart, who merely snapped her fan open and blocked the attack. "YOU'RE LYING! YOU AREN'T MOM! YOU'RE USING HER FORM! MOM IS THE NICEST PERSON EVER!"
"I didn't see this one coming." The blue-haired Uzume muttered, before smirking. "Nepsy really is full of surprises."
Purple Heart merely blocked and parried the attacks before snapping her free arm forward and grabbing Rainbow Heart by the throat and squeezing so hard that her daughter was immobilized. "You shouldn't question your mother." Purple Heart's voice was devoid of any warmth that it normally had. "Noire, Vert, Blanc, you should deal with your sisters quickly."
Rainbow Heart let out a gurgling sound as Purple Heart squeezed her neck tightly, causing her to drop her sword as she gripped the hand that was holding her up.
"STOP IT!" Peashy yelled as she ran towards Purple Heart, only to stop as a ring of blades erupted out of the ground around her. Not far away, Plutia was also surrounded by similar blades.
"You two really should come back to our side." Purple Heart told them. "Of being the ruthless Mole Queens that dominated the surface."
Plutia shook her head. "No..." She frowned at Purple Heart sadly. "Because that only made us sad in the end, Neppy."
"STOP IT, NEPTUNA!" Peashy yelled as she punched the blades as hard as she could. "YOU'LL KILL HER!" The blades shattered from the force and she grabbed the remains before throwing them at Plutia's prison, shattering a few blades and allowing Plutia to get out of there.
"So I will." Purple Heart said with disinterest as she squeezed harder. "Soon the pain will all be gone and..." She trailed off as Rainbow Heart's struggles got weaker while nothing but choking sounds were coming out of her mouth. "It's time for you..."
"NO!" Uzume yelled as she tackled Purple Heart and knocked her back, causing her to drop Rainbow Heart, who fell to the ground, gasping for air as she transformed back into her human form.
"My, my..." Green Heart smirked as she slammed the butt of her spear into Nepgear's stomach so hard that Nepgear cried out while flopping backwards. "I can see why you admired her so much." As Nepgear coughed, she pointed the bladed tip at the CPU Candidate. "Let me see..."
Nepgear watched in horror as Green Heart poked the top of her sailor outfit with her spear. "V...Vert?"
"You know," Green Heart licked her lips, "I always wanted to lewd you, I think I'll do it right now while everyone's distracted." She started to cut down while Nepgear stared in horror and shook her head. "Oh, don't worry, I'll be gentle, since it's your first time." By this point, her blade had cut down to the center of Nepgear's cleavage.
"NO!" Green Heart looked up, only to get a foot to the face. "Enough!" Neptune panted and grimaced at the pain she was feeling through her body. "Are you okay, Nepgear?"
"N...Neptune?" Nepgear asked, sighing in relief as the bigger Neptune was okay. "How did you..?" She trailed off as she watched IF and Compa racing in to help the Gold Third. "Oh, I'm glad you're okay."
Uzume growled as she found that Purple Heart could parry her attacks really easily. "Okay, fine, how about," she pulled out her megaphone and Purple Heart's eyes widened in surprise, "THIS?!" She screamed so loud that Purple Heart was blasted across the room.
White Heart grimaced as her sisters, now in HDD, flew around her and made it hard for her to hit them. "Stand still, you little shits!"
"Nah uh!" White Sister Rom shook her head. "We won't let you stay bad anymore!" She flew back when White Heart faced her.
"That's right." White Sister Ram nodded in agreement as she flew back and the two of them blasted at White Heart from the front and back with various magic spells. "This isn't you, Blanc!"
"The hell it isn't!" White Heart growled as she spun around and then rushed at White Sister Rom. "I'll show you how nice and free I've become!"
Meanwhile, Black Heart was chasing Black Sister around the room with the CPU Candidate taking shots at her while Black Heart avoided them. "Really, Uni? You think that a few shots will be enough to stop me?" She increased her speed and rushed at Black Sister, tackling her out of the air and into the ground, pinning Black Sister to the ground with her knee on Black Sister's head. "Now then, how should I..." Black Heart trailed off, her eyes widening as she felt a tremendous amount of pain in her chest. "GAH!"
"H...Huh?" Black Sister grimaced and turned her head as she felt the pressure coming off of her head while Black Heart staggered back and gasped several times. "W...What's going on?"
"Sorry." Plutia said and smiled softly as she punched a teddy bear. "My voodoo is all I can do."
"You knew that Nepsy was the Frozen Queen of the North?" The blue-haired Uzume asked Croire.
"Of course I did." Croire watched Purple Heart rush at Uzume and grab her by her throat, jump into the air and with a burst of power, she slammed the redhead into the ground. "I also know that she is," she pointed at Peashy, "the Firey Queen of the West and she's," she pointed at Plutia, "the Death Queen of the Center."
"Quite the names." Uzume raised an eyebrow and Croire shrugged.
"That's the titles they got from the surface people who they ruled over while they were brainwashed." Croire shrugged before her eyes widened.
"Hmm?" Uzume turned her head as a spiked ball came her way. She batted it to the side and saw Purple Heart giving her a calculating look. "...Nepsy, why did you do that?"
"A mere human talks to me like that?" Purple Heart asked as she kicked Gray Heart, who had been trying to get her from behind, away from her. "You should know your place!"
"Human?" Uzume asked, her blue eyes narrowing. "I am no human. You're my junior." Her voice started to get more and more heavy with emotions. "I was Planeptune's CPU two generations before you! My name is Uzume Tennouboushi!"
Purple Heart raised an eyebrow and looked at Uzume and then at the redheaded Uzume. "Well, you two do look alike, but... Unless one of you is a clone or something."
"Or something." The blue-haired Uzume nodded. "But it doesn't matter, if you kill them, Nepsy, I'll let you do whatever you want." She smiled at Purple Heart, who paused and looked at her. "You won't need to be the CPU of any world, you can go back to do what makes you the happiest."
"...My husband and children." Purple Heart answered with a subdued tone of voice. "I miss them so." The look on her face was one of sadness.
"H...how?" Stadia groaned as she pushed herself to her knees. "You...You aren't my mother!"
"And how many times are you going to," Purple Heart turned and kicked Stadia in the ribs so hard that the girl's body was lifted off of the ground and she grabbed Stadia's body, "keep saying that?!"
"GAH!" Stadia cried out as she got thrown away.
"Excuse me, I need to punish them." Purple Heart said and walked forward as Gray Heart got in front of her. "...Ouya, you really need to stand down."
Gray Heart panted and stared at Purple Heart as her memories of the cruel Frozen Queen of the North clashed with the memories of her mother. "...Why?" She asked, tears in her eyes. "You... You taught me and Stadia so much and to hold back so much and be so kind! But..."
"It was all a lie." Purple Heart told her. "I never loved you, even after being freed from my brainwashing."
The blue-haired Uzume tilted her head in confusion. "...What's going on, Croire?"
Croire smirked. "Well, if you REALLY want to know..." She idly noticed that the Gold Third had finished off their shadow opponents by that point. "Even after being freed from their brainwashing, these three were running back to their husbands in secret for centuries and still having kids with them."
Purple Heart smirked and nodded while Stadia and Gray Heart gave her a hurt, confused and betrayed look. "That's right." She whispered as a rather... Dangerous-looking smile came to Purple Heart's face. "King Sobar is quite the lover and the two of had quite a few more children together after being freed from the brainwashing."
"Y...You lie! YOU LIE!" Stadia yelled and looked at Plutia, who was looking sad. "Please... Tell me she's lying."
Plutia was silent and looked down. "..." A few moments later, she shook her head from side to side. "It's true."
"HA!" Green Heart laughed in amusement. "To think that, GAH!" She cried out as Purple Sister slammed into her several times before knocking her away.
White Heart cried out in pain as she was blasted by White Sister Rom's new ice bullets that blasted her over and over. "Yo..." Her eyes widened in surprise as White Sister Ram was racing in with a hammer of ice at the end of her magic staff. She cried out in pain as she was smashed with the ice hammer and knocked across the room, where she slammed into Black Heart.
"Well, that works." Black Sister muttered as she charged up her attack. "EX... Multi BLASTER!"
Both Black Heart and White Heart cried out as they were blasted away from Black Sister and into the wall.
The blue-haired Uzume frowned in confusion as both Black Heart and White Heart gripped their heads in confusion. "...What's going on?"
"Dammit, are you telling me that the brainwashing didn't take hold?!" Croire yelled in anger, before letting out a yelp of surprise as she noticed that both Purple Sister and Neptune had managed to over-power Green Heart long enough for Purple Sister to do something so shocking that everyone stopped and stared.
"HIIIYAAAAH!" Purple Sister yelled as she got behind Green Heart, wrapped her arms around Green Heart's stomach and bent backwards while lifting up and slamming Green Heart onto the ground behind her. "Oh dear, I hope I didn't permanently hurt you, Vert." Purple Sister said as she got out from under Green Heart and let go of her.
"...Where did you learn that?" Neptune asked as she stared at Purple Sister in shock and surprise.
"Eh heh..." Purple Sister smiled and poked her fingers together. "I... Um, got hooked on professional wrestling for awhile."
"What about..?" Black Sister was stopped as K-Sha grabbed her shoulder. "K-Sha?"
"Go." K-Sha smiled at her. "We'll watch Noire and Blanc and make sure that they don't get in the way."
Not far away, Plutia's eyes widened as she realized something. "Iffy! Neppy!" She pointed at IF, who blinked in confusion. "It's Iffy!"
"I...Iffy?" Purple Heart frowned in confusion and looked at IF. "What..?"
"We made up!" Plutia smiled at Purple Heart. "Please, Neppy... Stop this."
"You..." Purple Heart gripped her head and staggered backwards.
"Nep..." IF looked at her friend. "Come on! Nep! You have to fight it!" She ran to Purple Heart. "Please?! I promised you that I'd smack you into shape if you ever did something stupid! Come on!"
A dark aura surrounded Purple Heart and a force of power pushed IF away from her. "Iffy's been dead for a thousand years..." Purple Heart said, her voice cold as she stood straight and tall with her head down. She raised her head up and her eyes glowed with power. "And all of you will perish for tarnishing her memory!"
I'll cut it off here.
