Okay, so this took awhile to get out. I'm sorry for the delay. I was finishing up Echoes of the Life and I was playing Fairy Fencer F, so that took me some time to finish up.
And, just for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to call the Mole Queen versions of everyone [Color] Queen. So Frozen Queen of the North will be known as Purple Queen for this chapter. This will make it easy on everyone, plus I got annoyed by typing out "Frozen Queen of the North" every time.
I hope that this chapter is decent, it took me longer than three days to write this out. No, not kidding.
Chapter 51
"Delusional Orange is here!" Kurome, in a high pitched voice similar to Orange Heart, said as she finished her transformation.
White Heart gave Black Heart a dirty look. "You just HAD to mention what it could do, didn't you?"
Black Heart, for her part, looked embarrassed. "Sorry."
Delusional Orange hovered there, her outfit's style and hair, even her hat was identical to Orange Heart's, but her hair was a dark blue, her roller blades had blue wheels with the boot being gray with blue in the center. Unlike Orange Heart, however, Delusional Orange had black leggings that covered her legs completely. Where Orange Heart had white, Delusional Orange had black, where Orange Heart was orange, Delusional Orange was a deep blue in color, with the exception of the light blue, nearly transparent, covering over the center of her chest and top of her breasts, the colors were dark and muted compared to Orange Heart's.
Even the shield on her left arm and her wings were bright blue in color. When she opened her eyes, unlike Orange Heart's bright blue eyes, they were dark purple in color.
"...What about her is orange?" Black Heart asked as she looked at the freshly transformed Kurome.
Delusional Orange turned her head and smiled cutely at Black Heart. "And what about this Noiresy is black? Well, other than your eye-patch? Or is Noiresy acting like a Chuuni?"
"No, it's because I had my eye ripped out a couple of centuries ago." Black Heart grumbled in annoyance.
"What?!" Both Gray and Rainbow Heart gasped, as did Purple Sister, in shock.
Green Heart shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Stop being such a drama queen, Noire. You had your eye fixed a long time ago and you were told that your eye would be off-color for a little while."
"But I don't like being reminded of it!" Black Heart protested with a pout on her face as she stomped a foot onto the ground.
White Heart snorted at hearing that. "You don't even have any scars on your face from it, so stop whining about it." She ignored the pouting that came from Black Heart while Green Heart tried to fuss over her friend.
Gray Heart frowned in confusion and looked at Purple Heart. "Mommy? What happened to Aunt Noire's eye?"
Purple Heart sighed and gave Black Heart a look. "Well, the cultists really screwed things up, when I said we were messed up, I wasn't kidding. Noire went on a mission and a monster got a lucky shot on her, gouging her eye out and even badly damaging her left arm. She was lucky that Plutie was in the area."
Iris Heart huffed in annoyance. "I was merely letting off steam, nothing more, the fact I was there when she needed help was merely a coincidence." She gave Black Heart a small smile. "...But it's one that I won't complain about."
"Tee hee hee!" Delusional Orange started to giggle. "That story that Nepsy just told gave Uzume a great idea!" A wide smile came to her face as she started to glow orange. "See, Noiresy? Uzume's still orange." She raised her left hand up and snapped her fingers. "There!"
"What did you do?" Neptune asked as she looked at what Kurome had become. "Kurome?"
Delusional Orange just smiled cutely. "Uzume thought it would be super dee duperific if all the monsters that the Gold Third, the other Noiresy, Vertsy and Blancsy and their little sisters were fighting were copied and the copies all went to the four nations!" She clapped her hands and bounced in place while smiling happily. "The people of Hyper Dimension will all get smashy-smashyed up and then Uzume can finally have her revenge!"
"What?" Yellow Heart and Orange Heart both gasped in shock.
"Tee hee hee! Isn't Uzume the smartest?" Delusional Orange said cheerfully while bouncing in place. "It's already too late!" A wide, slightly crazy grin, came to her face. "All the bad people are going to die for what happened to me!"
Everyone stared at Delusional Orange for nearly a minute, unable to comprehend what they had just heard.
Orange Heart could only grit her teeth. "Dang it, we need to stop her too. This is super duper not cool!" The only thing she could hope for was that the others could stop the monsters and get to Hyper Dimension before things got too far out of hand.
White Heart just looked at the Mole Queen version of herself and smirked. "Well, this would be cathartic if not for what you just did." She cracked her knuckles and then held up her hand as her axe reformed in her hands. "Been awhile since I kicked my own ass."
"Well, let's go then!" Black Heart yelled as she raised her left arm up and fired several shots at her Mole Queen self, who dodged out of the way and rushed at Black Heart with, of all things, a large meat cleaver in her hands. "Feh, I hate how inelegant that is." Black Heart grumbled as her sword formed in her right hand and she spun around to block the attack.
"Coming from someone who uses a large, awkward sword, you're calling me using a meat-cleaver inelegant?" Black Queen snorted behind her mask. "Tell me, how is Engier these days?"
"I wouldn't know." Black Heart admitted as she blocked an over-head slash from the Black Queen before pointing her left arm cannon at her other self. "I haven't seen him in a couple of centuries." She fired her cannon, forcing her other self to jump away to avoid taking damage. "Get back here!"
In the air, Green Heart was seemingly flickering in and out of sight as she chased down her other self, who had some metallic stuff on her back and legs that was allowing her to fly through the air. "You really should have stayed a distant memory."
"As if I'd listen to you relegate me to the dustbin of history." Green Queen shot back as the sky suddenly glowed red and was filled with lots of black daggers, forcing Green Heart to come to a stop.
"...Oh yeah, I forgot I used to do that." Green Heart muttered as she stared at the daggers as they came rushing down at her. Gritting her teeth, she swung her spear up as dozens of spears surrounded her and launched out, crashing into the daggers and causing them to explode in the air harmlessly. The next thing Green Heart knew, Green Queen was rushing in with a dagger in each hand with the ends pointed towards her elbows as she slashed at Green Heart's neck.
Green Heart leaned back to avoid the lunge at her neck before swinging the butt of her spear into the stomach of Green Queen forcing her other self to gasp in pain and double over. Green Heart put her right hand on the ground and pushed off so she could hop back a couple of steps to regain her balance before she rushed in with her spear to stab at Green Queen, who merely looked up and tilted to the side, falling over and allowing the spear to pass where her head had been harmlessly. As she fell to the ground, Green Queen reached up and grabbed the spear before Green Heart had recovered and pulled it forward and down, pulling Green Heart off-balance before launching her feet up into Green Heart's chest, sending her flying backwards.
Not far away, White Heart let out a yell as she swung her axe at her other self, who blocked it with a large, spiced mace. "Feh, I already dealt with you once." White Heart smirked as she pulled her axe back and swung it several times, each one being blocked by her other self. "Alright, then take THIS!" She yelled while jumping back and spinning around, sending a wave of ice and magic out that slammed into the White Queen. "Was that it?" She asked when she noticed that the White Queen turned into a pile of fluffy snow. "Ah, shit." She turned to the side in time to get a mace to the face, sending her flying into a nearby building.
The White Queen lowered her mace and gave her other self a cool look. "How pathetic, has all these years as a CPU dulled your senses?"
White Heart smirked at her other self as she ran the back of her hand over her nose. "Heh, nice shot, you actually gave me a bloody nose over that." The White Queen looked confused and looked down at her mace, shocked that there was actually damage to her weapon. "We might have been pretty fucking peaceful since we came to terms with the shit we did as the Mole Queens..." White Heart's eyes seemingly glowed as an ice-blue aura erupted from her body. "But don't think for one fucking second that we've gone soft, you stupid bitch!"
"Seems like you're still angry at me for what you did while you were me." The White Queen told her as White Heart smirked while lots of metal orbs surrounded her. "Uh..."
"Nah, I'm not mad at you, I got over that." White Heart's eyes turned red as a wide grin came over her face. "But a chance to beat my young, stupid self up? I love it!" She rushed forward and threw her axe at the White Queen, who jumped out of the way, which allowed the axe to slam, blade first into the ground, sadly, for White Queen, White Heart appeared in front of her with her right arm pulled back. "Just stay down, you piece of shit!" She punched the White Queen down into where her axe was embedded in the ground, where an explosion erupted. White Heart landed on the ground and smirked at her handiwork as her axe flew out of the explosion and she grabbed it out of the air as it came down towards her.
White Heart raised an eyebrow as the explosion subsided and she saw the aftermath of her attack. "Your words and actions are at odds with each other." White Queen said as she stood there, slightly burned and and bloody, but otherwise unharmed.
"Ah, I get it, you're just a figment of that bitch's power." White Heart said as she realized what was going on. "HEY! NEPTUNE! THEY'RE JUST SHADOWS!"
"Yeah, I figured that out, thanks!" Purple Heart said as she panted heavily while fighting off her other self, her sword clanging against the fans of her other self. "Dang it..."
Before her other self, the Frozen Queen, or Purple Queen, could make another move, she let out a yell as an explosion happened against her back, forcing her to stumble forward and fall to her knees. Turning, she saw Purple Sister hovering there with a stern look on her face. "I knew that you'd try to take everything from me."
"You're wrong, Neptune." Purple Sister said as she lowered herself to the ground and took a defensive stance. "Big sis, leave her to me." Purple Heart gave her a confused look and Purple Sister smiled. "Please, I need this... It's not about anger at you or anything like that, I just..."
"I understand." Purple Heart nodded, grateful that Purple Sister was taking over the fight. "I still haven't recovered from blowing myself up." She ducked as the Green Queen went flying past her from behind.
"You blew yourself up again?!" Green Heart yelled in surprise as she walked up to Purple Heart, who only smiled at the short-haired CPU. "Sheesh!" She gave Purple Heart a distraught look. "Why do you have to do such stupid things?"
"Because I'm a complete idiot." Purple Heart answered her. "You know that, Vert." The feeling of exhaustion was starting to creep up on Purple Heart, but she ignored it, knowing that she'd sleep for half a day or longer later. 'There's something that needs to be done though.' She thought to herself, knowing what was needed to end the insanity that was happening.
Green Heart shook her head and looked up as her other self recovered from being launched. "Excuse me."
"Of course." Purple Heart nodded and hopped away from the battle as Purple Sister fought Purple Queen. "Good luck, Nepgear." She said softly and turned to look at Delusional Orange, who was grinning at Orange Heart. "We need to stop Kurome to stop all of this."
She just hoped that they wouldn't be too late to save Gamindustri.
I think I'll show what's happening in Gamindustri next.
