I'm sorry that I didn't update for the past few days. Been rather busy and finally got some time to myself.

This chapter's going to be a two-part chapter.


Chapter 47

When the light faded everyone looked at what happened to Next Purple and, other than Iris Heart and Peashy, everyone had to gasp in surprise at her new form.

She was hovering there in a white outfit with black trim. The top of her breasts were exposed, as were her sides, though that was because the outfit became clear along her sides and back. She had a white bikini bottom on with black trim. Her feet were in armored boots and her legs were covered up to her knees in white leggings. Her hands were covered in armored white gloves and had sleeves on her arms that covered all but her shoulders. Her hair was dark purple, but with red, blue and green tips and so long that, even braided and done into loops on her head, it hung down to her ankles. On her back were four feathered wings, each feather on the wings were half white and half black, split right down the middle.

"Hyper Purple has arrived." Hyper Purple said and looked at herself. "...Huh, I forgot to put the armor on."

"So pretty!" Rom gasped in surprise as she looked at Hyper Purple.

"But it feels wrong..." Blanc muttered as she sensed something that didn't feel right with what Neptune had become.

"Uzume..." Hyper Purple said as she looked at Orange Heart. For some reason, she was looking tired as she started to pant while sweat started to roll down her face. "I get that you're either in awe of how I look or put off by what you're feeling, but if you don't start draining my shares right now, I'm going to explode like a fifty ton antimatter bomb and kill all of us."

"R-right!" Orange Heart nodded and held up her shield arm as she drew upon what she was feeling from Hyper Purple. "Sharing Field... ACTIVATE!"

"That won't work!" Kurome yelled as a pulse of power came from Dark Orange. Her eyes widened as the Anti-Share pulse dissipated and the Sharing Field engulfed them. "Impossible."

Orange Heart grinned and pumped a fist into the air. "Sharing Field complete!"

"Now," Hyper Purple said as a black, clawed glove appeared on her left hand while a crystal gauntlet appeared on her right hand while black metal armor appeared on her legs while four shields formed around her torso. "Let's end this," a pink and purple single-edged sword appeared in her right hand, the edge of the blade was made up of jagged crystals, a familiar looking double-bladed sword with runes on the blade and black energy flowing over it appeared in her left hand. "Here I come! Ouya! Stadia! Hang on, I'll..."

"No you won't." Kurome, who was glowing black with a purple sparkling aura around her, sneered and held a hand forward as four pillars appeared around Hyper Purple, before she was encased in a black dome.

"What the hell?!" Iris Heart asked as she saw Hyper Purple unable to move. "HOW?! In that form, even if she only had enough shares to transform one last time, she'd still have as much power as Rei in HDD at full power!"

Kurome chuckled even as she had a look of discomfort on her face. "One, you're in my soul, two, I have the power to re-write reality and three, I have the power of Tari at my finger-tips." A bead of sweat ran down her face as she looked at Hyper Purple, who seemed to be standing still. "Even so, you aren't kidding. Right now, she's slightly out of phase with reality."

"Jeez! That's a pretty advanced ability with Tari's power." Croire yelled from inside the NepNote. "I'm impressed, that idiot from Tari never figured out how to use her power that way."

Iris Heart was about to say something more when she realized something important. "Heh heh heh... I get it... For all your power and ability..." She smirked at Kurome, who was starting to sweat, "Neppy's really strong right now, so it's probably taking everything you have to keep her from wrecking your shit."

"If that's the case," Noire said as she and the other CPUs transformed, "we can kick her ass."

Kurome sneered at them, "aren't you forgetting something?" She asked and pointed upwards. "Can you fight me and Dark Orange at the same time?" She then snapped her fingers and the group was surrounded by monsters. "While keeping Nepsy safe?"

There was a gunshot that rang out and one of the monsters fell down before turning into data and disappearing.

"Uh..." Neptune blinked while grinning and holding her gun. "Should I have said "freeze" first?"

Suddenly several other monsters stiffened before falling over and turning into data. Standing in the middle, IF shook her head and smirked. "Really? You forgot about us humans, didn't you? Compa and I have been through every major crisis in Planeptune." Not far away, Compa was stabbing a monster in the eye with a giant needle. "Maybe we're not Goddesses, but don't underestimate us."

Purple Sister looked at Dark Orange and then at Orange Heart, Iris Heart and Yellow Heart. "Uzume, Peashy, Miss Plutia, let's deal with the Dark CPU."

"And the six of us will take care of Kurome." Green Heart grinned as she looked at Kurome, who was glaring at them. "If what Miss Plutia says is true, then right now, you're not an all-powerful reality warper, but rather a normal boss."

The aura surrounding Kurome expanded as the very space itself seemed to transform and warp even as a blue megaphone appeared in Kurome's right hand. "You think I'm a normal boss?! Fine! If my juniors want to get their asses kicked, I'll be more than happy to oblige!"

Hyper Purple had sweat pouring down her face and the rest of her body. "Ngh..." She panted as the build-up of power was still happening, even though her shares were being drained to power the Sharing Field. "Ouya, Stadia... Please be okay." She couldn't feel what was going on outside of the black bubble she was in, she couldn't even see out of it. "Well..." She held her swords to the side as energy erupted from them, black energy from her double-bladed sword and golden light energy from her crystal sword. "No need to hold back then, HIYAH!" She swung them down on the dome.

When she heard a sound like glass lightly hitting the bottom of a metal sink full of water, she sighed. "Well, no need to..." Hyper Purple's right eye screwed shut and her face turned red as a loud noise was heard behind her. "...I know I need to expel heat, but why do I have to do it the way 2B does?"

Kurome ducked under a slash from White Heart before she grabbed White Heart by her leg and spun her around, throwing her into Black Sister. "GET LOST!" She screamed into her Megaphone, blasting White Sister Rom across the street.

Green Heart and Black Heart looked at each other and nodded, being engulfed in white light as they transformed into their Next forms. "Take this!" Next Green yelled as she rushed forward, stabbing at Kurome with wind surrounding the tip of her spear.

Kurome crossed her arms and jerked as she was slammed into several times by the spear. When Next Green pulled back to finish the attack, Kurome growled as her foot glowed. The next thing Next Green knew, she was being kicked in the chest by a large energy foot, sending her flying into a monster, crushing it. "JUST DISAPPEAR!" She screamed and jumped over a slash by Next Black. She was about to do a dive kick into Next Black's face when a hammer of ice hit her in the face, sending her bouncing onto the ground and sliding away.

A flash of light appeared on the field and Next White smirked. "Vert, Noire, how about we show our senior what we've learned?"

"Sounds good to me." Next Black smirked as magic pooled around the three CPUs, becoming a wind around Next Green.

Kurome looked up in time to get blasted by a horizontal tornado, blasting into her and forcing her up into the air. "This..." Kurome growled as she glowed black. "Won't WORK!" She screamed as her dark aura tore the tornado apart. Before the CPUs could recover from what happened, several giant hands filled the sky and slammed down, swatting the Next Gen CPUs to the ground, causing them to hit so hard that they let out cries of pain.

Kurome panted as she descended from the sky. "That..."

"NOW!" The three CPU Candidates cried out and Kurome looked around with a shocked expression as the three Candidates surrounded her while flying in circles.

"What?" Kurome asked, gasping as she was blasted by White Sister Ram with lightning. "NGH!"

"You turned our sisters against us." Black Sister said as she fired several shots at Kurome, forcing the fallen CPU to put up a barrier to stop the attack. "You used Neptune's daughters against her."

"You made the world forget us." White Sister Rom said while dropping a pillar of ice on Kurome's head. "You're a bad person."

An eruption of black flames escaped from where Kurome was. "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT!" She screamed as her body flashed and all three Candidates were held in place by hands. "I won't let anyone get in the way of my revenge, I..."

"VOLCANO DIVE!" Next Black yelled as she jumped in and slammed her sword down, cutting into Kurome's back before a geyser of flames erupted, engulfing the blue-haired CPU, who cried out. "One, don't ignore me, two, don't hurt my little sister and three, it looks like you really aren't as overwhelmingly powerful as you were before."

Kurome stumbled forward, her pupils shrinking in anger as she spun around and tackled Next Black to the ground. "YOU'RE CALLING ME WEAK?!" She yelled while holding onto Next Black's shoulders and using that to brace herself as she pushed up with her legs and slammed down with her knees into Black Heart's stomach. "And who is it..?" Kurome pushed herself up and slammed back down into Next Black's stomach, getting a cry of pain from the Next Gen CPU, "that let the Deity of Sin nearly destroy the world?!" She stood up and stomped on Next Black's crotch as hard as she could. "Who's so pathetic and weak that she couldn't even handle fake clones of herself while a human had the power of a CPU from another world and was terrorizing everyone?"

Next Black cried out in pain before Kurome kicked her away. "Oh fuck, that hurt." She groaned and curled into a ball, whimpering softly. "I thought groin shots only hurt for guys."

"Anything's sensitive like that if you hit it hard enough." Next White grumbled as she rushed forward. "You stupid bitch!"

"Stupid bitch?!" Kurome yelled as she backflipped away as Next White slashed at her. "Says the worthless book writer!" She yelled and when Next White jerked in surprise, she stopped and did a roundhouse kick into Next White's face, causing her to tumble back and slide along the ground. Kurome panted and growled. "You three can't do anything by yourselves, you have your sisters, Gearsy and Nepsy. None of you know the pain and suffering of isolation."

Next Black grimaced as she looked at Kurome. "...Pain and suffering of isolation?" She whispered to herself. Memories of days when she would only get up and do paper work or slay monsters came to her. "You're wrong." Next Black said as she got to her feet. "Those days before Uni was born, before Neptune made an effort to be my friend..." She grimaced in disgust. "I hated them." She shook her head as she shook off the after-effects of that last attack she took. "I'm not good around others and I can spend all day in my room or office with no problem, but I still wanted to be around others."

"You think I don't know the pain of isolation?" Next Green asked as she narrowed her eyes at Kurome. "The only CPU who doesn't have a little sister?"

"Don't think you know anything about us." Next White sneered at Kurome as she rubbed her jaw. "Just because you saw our memories doesn't mean a damn thing."

"That's right." White Sister Ram said as she, White Sister Rom and Black Sister surrounded Kurome. "You know nothing about any of us."

"Bunch of pathetic weaklings..." Kurome growled as her aura exploded around her. "WHO CAN DO NOTHING BY THEMSELVES! THAT'S ALL YOU ARE!" She yelled and rushed forward, slamming her fist into Black Sister's jaw before jumping at White Sister Rom and tackling the blue-haired CPU Candidate to the ground and flipping over and lifting up to throw the CPU Candidate over her head and into Next Green's breasts.

She screamed in pain as she was blasted by Black Sister in the back, forcing her to stumble forward before another blast pierced her left leg, forcing her to fall to her knees.

"You're wrong about one thing." Next Green said as she held White Sister Rom against her. "We might be weak by ourselves, but together we're pretty tough to beat."

"Ramblings of a weakling." Kurome threw her arm to the side as lightning crashed down, blasting all of the CPUs that surrounded her. "DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIEDIEDIEIDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!"

As the lightning faded away, Kurome panted to see that all the CPUs had returned to their human forms and were laying on the ground, groaning in pain. "You... Stupid..." She growled and looked at where Hyper Purple was trapped in the dark dome. "Nepsy... I..." She took a step forward and grimaced as her left leg wasn't fully responding to her. "Dammit..." She limped towards where Hyper Purple was. "I..." She trailed off as a memory of the past came to her.

*Flash*

"Ngh!" Uzume stretched as she finished up the paperwork. "All done." She smiled and pushed on the desk and did a flip over it, before pushing off and doing a few somersaults in the air...

...Sadly for Uzume, she missed the landing and instead landed on her butt. "Oww! That hurt! Uzume's butt isn't for landing on!" She whined in her high-pitched voice before blushing and coughing. "Darn it, I really don't like how cutsey I am in HDD." Getting off the ground and rubbing her lower back, Uzume left her office and looked around. "Where's Histy?"

"Ah, miss Histoire's currently working at the guild." One of her staff smiled at her. "If you're caught up, why don't you just go have some fun?"

"Sounds like a plan." Uzume smiled and ran off.

After leaving the Basilicom, Uzume ran for the park and smiled happily as she saw several young kids at the park. "Hey!" She waved happily, though her waving went down, as did her smile as the children's parents came to pick them up and take them home. "...Must be nice, huh?"

She walked over to the swings and sat down, slowly rocking back and forth on them.

She stayed on them, even as the sun set and it got dark outside.

*End Flashback*

Kurome looked around and saw that the monsters she called up were being destroyed left, right and center. "This..." She could feel that even Dark Orange was starting to waver in strength. "No... I... I WON'T LOSE!" She held her right arm up even as a dark sphere of pure negative energy filled the air. "I'll destroy everything! EVERYTHING!"

"If it helps, even a little bit, I truly wish to apologize for forgetting you." Histoire's voice echoed through her head.

"What?" Kurome asked, tears falling from her face. "Why..?"

"Because she offered you friendship, that's all you wanted, wasn't it?"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!" Kurome screamed and shook her head from side to side. "SHUT UP!"

Inside the dome, Hyper Purple, who was dripping with sweat, saw that the power was starting to waver and she looked at Kurome and sighed as she saw the other CPU shaking her head and screaming. "I have to hurry up, any longer and I'm going to explode..." She blinked and chuckled. "Well, explosions aren't so bad if you survive them, right?"

She closed her eyes and concentrated as she started to glow brightly. "I really, REALLY hope that I have enough plot armor to survive this."

Hyper Purple grimaced as the pressure and power started to build up as she prevented her body from expelling the heat and power.


Next part will show what's happening with Dark Orange.

As for Hyper Purple, well, 4 Goddesses Online had a perfectly usable form for Purple Heart, so why not use it?

As for expelling heat, well... If you know 2B from Nier Automata, she has a heat sink... In her ass. She literally expels heat from her rear end. That is all.
