Here's the 2nd part of the chapter.
Chapter 48
As they flew up into the air, Iris Heart looked back at the dome that Hyper Purple was in and frowned softly. 'Neppy, you better keep your damn promise. I want a happy ending too.' She knew that if Neptune died that the seal on her and Peashy would disappear, but that wasn't what she wanted.
Turning back to Dark Orange, she increased her speed to catch up to the others.
Once they got close to Dark Orange, Yellow Heart looked at the platforms they were on curiously. "Huh," she tapped her feet against the platform. "Reminds me of the island the Hive Aliens built." She laughed at Purple Sister and Orange Heart's looks. "Some aliens that have a psychic connection moved to our world about a century ago and built an artificial island to the South of Leanbox. It's a pretty obsidian color and spirals up into the air. They're pretty friendly too."
If a little weird, their idea of a greeting was to cry. Which, apparently, was just how they greeted everyone. Even after a few decades, Blanc and Noire still found it weird, though Peashy and Neptune both thought it was rather funny.
"MOM?" A voice that sounded like a mixture of Kurome, Ouya and Stadia came from Dark Orange, who was hunched over, though her head looked from side to side. "MOM? WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Purple Sister frowned softly as she looked at Dark Orange. "Ouya! Stadia! It's me! Nepgear! Your aunt! Neptune got stopped from saving you, but we're here!"
"MOM! MOM!" Dark Orange cried out and looked at Nepgear. "A...AUNT NEPGEAR?" Purple Sister nodded. "I..." Suddenly Dark Orange stood straight up and a burst of power came from her. "NO! RUN AWAY!" She yelled as the hand with the axe on it swung down, forcing Orange Heart, Yellow Heart, Iris Heart and Purple Sister to scatter to avoid it. "I CAN'T STOP MYSELF!"
Iris Heart nodded. "Fine, if we have to subdue you two again, we'll do it. Wouldn't be the first time."
"HELP ME! AUNTIE! BIG SIS! MOMMY!"
"Let's go." Purple Sister said and the others nodded as they flew around the giant.
Yellow Heart let out a yell as she rushed in and did a rapid slash at Dark Orange's head, causing the Dark CPU to jerk back from the hit and damage.
Dark Orange grunted and there was a quick flash of light that erupted from her head. "N-NO! RUN AWAY!" She screamed and spun around really fast, slamming the flat of her axe-hand into Yellow Heart and sending the busty CPU flying away.
"Then..." Iris Heart narrowed her eyes as electricity flowed through her sword, causing it to glow. "Lightning REAVER!" She yelled and swung her sword in a wide arc, sending an arc of power towards Dark Orange. As the wide arc of energy traveled towards the giant, lightning crashed down in the wake of the attack.
"GAH!" Dark Orange cried out as she jerked from side to side from the powerful lightning that was crashing down on her from all sides before stumbling backwards from the attack. "THAT... NO! STAY BACK!" She screamed and stabbed at Iris Heart with her spear, and while she missed with her direct attack, the wind pressure alone sent Iris Heart flying backwards.
"Gearsy!" Orange Heart cried out as a sphere of energy formed at the end of her megaphone, causing Purple Sister to nod as she flew into the air. "NOW!" Orange Heart screamed, launching the energy at Dark Orange. When the ball connected with Dark Orange, it exploded outwards and became a tornado of power that actually lifted the giant off of the ground.
"I'll cut through the distortion!" Purple Sister yelled as she dove in from above. "DEYAH!"
Dark Orange cried out in pain and was knocked back. "YES! DO THAT! MORE! FINISH US... NO! WATCH OUT!" Dark Orange cried out as she held up her hands and a large, dark sphere formed above her head before shattering and sending lots of large energy orbs out after the four CPUs that she was fighting, crashing down around on the platforms and into them, causing them to get engulfed in a large explosion.
When the explosion ended, Iris Heart was sitting on her ass as she used her hands to keep herself somewhat upright. "I'm way too old for this shit." She groused and rolled over onto her front before pushing herself up. "Anyone die from that?"
"Owwie..." Orange Heart, who was on her back with swirl marks in her eyes, shook her head from side to side slowly as literal stars spun around her head. "Uzume wants to stay home from school today."
"Yeesh!" Yellow Heart groaned as she pushed herself to her feet, her breasts bouncing the whole time, "that was worse than the last fight the two of us had."
Purple Sister was laying on her face and groaning as she pushed herself to her knees. "Ouchies, that hurt." She pouted.
"WHY?!" Dark Orange cried out and shook her head. "WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE HAPPY?!"
"Ouya, Stadia..." Iris Heart whispered softly as she saw tears falling out from under the visor of Dark Orange. "Hang in there!"
"STOP US! KILL US!" Dark Orange screamed and swung her axe in a wide arc, forcing Iris Heart and Yellow Heart to their knees while keeping Purple Sister from getting up. Orange Heart was still on her back, but after that, she forced herself to her feet.
"Damn brats." Iris Heart growled as she got back to her feet. "As if I'd kill you." She whispered to herself as a memory came to her.
*Flash*
"Neppy..." Plutia looked at Neptune as she shuffled her way into the Basilicom. "...It's done?" Neptune nodded and Plutia sighed. "...Maaaybe you should have..."
"NO!" Neptune shook her head. "I won't kill them, Plutie! I'll find a way to save them!"
"But Neppy..." Plutia gave her friend a sad look. "You haven't found one yet."
"I'll keep working until I find one." Neptune told her. "I'll find a way for all of us to be together."
Plutia watched as Neptune walked off and sighed sadly. "Neppy..." She called out and Neptune stopped at the door. "Don't..."
"If you're going to tell me to not over-work myself, Plutie," Neptune said and looked back at Plutia with a dark look on her face, "you can shove it up your butt." Plutia gave her a shocked look as Neptune balled her hands into fists. "Even if I end up practically dead, I'm going to save them."
"Neppy..." Plutia whispered softly as Neptune stormed out of the room. "...You can't save everyone."
*End Flashback*
Iris Heart looked at Dark Orange and a savage grin came to her face. "...I owe Neppy an apology when this is over." She took a stance with her sword pointing at Dark Orange. "Alright, you brats! Listen up! We're going to beat this abomination and save you so we can finally go home together as a family! Do you understand me?!" The only response she got was a yell from Dark Orange and Iris Heart looked at Yellow Heart, who nodded. "Alright, let's do this, Peashy."
Yellow Heart grinned as she went to her knees while Iris Heart turned around and slowly walked away. "Alright then! Final HDD activate!" A flash of light engulfed Yellow Heart, catching Dark Orange's attention as Yellow Heart transformed into a large gauntlet-covered fist.
"Jeez, always making me pick up the pieces, huh?" Iris Heart asked, smirking as she turned around and ran forward, kicking the gauntlet very hard. "My, my," she chuckled as she heard a moan from the gauntlet, "are you a masochist, Peashy?" She asked while tapping her sword against her open palm while lightning built up in the blade.
"You know that you kick hard!" The gauntlet yelled before igniting some thrusters and launching itself at Dark Orange. "Let's go!"
"Thunder..." Iris Heart began as she pulled her sword back while a purple circle formed under her feet and lightning crashed down all around her.
"FIST!" Yellow Gauntlet yelled as Iris Heart swung her sword forward, sending all the power she was building up into Yellow Gauntlet.
Dark Orange watched as the gauntlet was suddenly surrounded by a storm of electrical power before screaming in pain as it slammed into her chest and her whole body was engulfed in electrical energy. "GAAAAAH!" She could feel her HP dropping rapidly as she fell back and found herself slumping down.
Orange Heart shook her head. "Moouuuu... Uzume wanted to look all cool and Plutsy and Peasy stole the show." She stuck her tongue out at them. "But that's fine, so long as we save Nepsy's daughters, then it's all..." She trailed off and her pupils shrank to pin-pricks as she saw Kurome standing alone and limping towards where Hyper Purple was sealed away. "Gearsy! Nepsy's in trouble!"
Iris Heart looked down at what was going on down below and grimaced as she saw that the other CPUs were all down. "Go." She said to Purple Sister. "You as well." She pointed at Orange Heart.
"But," Purple Sister tried to protest.
Yellow Heart landed next to her. "A CPU's first duty is to protect her world and then her nation and her citizens. Ouya and Stadia aren't from your world, leave them to us, go save Neptuna."
Both Iris Heart and Yellow Heart jerked in surprise as they saw Kurome holding up a large sphere of black energy. "GO!" They yelled at the same time and both Purple Sister and Orange Heart nodded and quickly flew towards Kurome.
After they left, there was a cracking sound and both Yellow Heart and Iris Heart watched as Dark Orange's helmet shattered, revealing a sad and confused looking face. "JUST KILL US!" Dark Orange cried out.
"As if I'd kill my little sisters." Yellow Heart scoffed as she nodded at Iris Heart and the two quickly worked to circle the Dark CPU. "Ready, Ploot?!"
"Always am!" Iris Heart yelled back as a magic circle formed in front of her while Yellow Heart did the same thing. "We owe Compa and Iffy for stealing this from them."
"HA!" Yellow Heart yelled as a giant fist of energy was launched from her palms while a giant beam of electrical energy was launched from Iris Heart's left hand.
The two energies slammed into Dark Orange from both sides, engulfing the Dark CPU and causing it to go still.
"I..." The Dark CPU smiled as tears fell from her eyes. "I'M FREE! I CAN FINALLY..."
"You aren't dying." Iris Heart and Yellow Heart both said at the same time as they rushed forward and slammed into the mid-section of Dark Orange, before bursting through the body as it shattered.
Iris Heart smiled at Ouya, who was in her hands. "Hey, kiddo."
"A...Auntie?" Ouya asked, her voice cracking. "...You...You saved me?"
Iris Heart nodded as she touched down. "...As if I'd let any family of mine die on me."
Ouya smiled, tears falling out of her eyes as she hugged Iris Heart. "Thank you. Thank you! I was so scared."
"Shhh..." Iris Heart rocked back and forth while hugging Ouya. "I know," tears fell from her eyes as she hugged Ouya. "So was I."
On the other side of where Dark Orange had been, Yellow Heart was smiling at Stadia, who looked at her weakly. "Hey..."
"B-big sis?" Stadia rasped out and Yellow Heart nodded. "...You saved me?"
"Of course I did." Yellow Heart smiled at her and gently put her down. "Not because it's what Neptuna would do, but it's because we're family."
"I..."
Before Stadia could answer, there was a massive shock wave that engulfed everything, flinging the four CPUs away from it.
Iris Heart held Ouya and her eyes widened as she saw a large, golden explosive dome. "NEPPY! NO!"
"SHE BLEW HERSELF UP?!" Yellow Heart yelled as she looked at what happened in horror.
Both Iris Heart and Yellow Heart had seen this before and both of them hoped that Neptune survived this, because the current explosion made what she did last time look like a firecracker compared to a landmine.
Huh, very little Kurome in this chapter. Oh well, hope you all liked it.
