Uzume jumped back to dodge a fatal slash. "Woah! Nepsy!" Uzume exclaimed as she kept narrowly avoiding Neptune's attempts on her life. Neptune's katana glowed purple. Then she stabbed it into the floor. A wave of energy roared at Uzume in a straight line. 'That's Gearsy's skill!' Uzume remembered Nepgear's Slash Wave.
The office was destroyed along with a lot of the living room. "Uzume!" Adult Neptune cried out. Uzume flew into the couch, throwing it into the kitchen. Neptune walked out of the smoke. Staring at the downed Uzume. "Mini Me! What's going on?!" Adult Neptune asked. Neptune gave her counterpart a curious glance. 'She doesn't recognize me?' Adult Neptune wondered.
"32 Bit Mega Blade!" Neptune named her skill. Purple and blue digital blades appeared over Uzume. Ready to skewer her. "BLOW AWAAAYYY!!" Uzume screamed and the blades flew into the ceiling. Uzume shakily got up, disoriented and confused. Not a good thing when in a battle for your life.
Neptune appeared right in front of Uzume. Her blade poised to pierce Uzume's heart. With no hesitation or warning, Neptune shoved her katana in Uzume's chest. Uzume is lucky to be a CPU, or she would be dead on the spot.
"No! Stop it!" Adult Neptune cried out and she encircled her arms under her smaller self's armpits, and around her neck. Causing Neptune to let go of her sword. Neptune struggled in the full nelson. "Oh man, this is awesome!" Croire commented from inside the NepNote.
"Y-You're me! Let me go! She has to pay, over and over again!" Neptune exclaimed and Adult Neptune tightened her grip. "Uzume is our friend! I won't let you kill her!" Adult Neptune declared. Uzume pulled the katana out of her chest. Then drank a NepBull to close the wound.
"If you really are me! Then you would let me go! She killed Nepgear! I won't let her get away with that!" Neptune yelled, not wanting to hurt herself. "No! If YOU really are me! Then you would know Nepgear wouldn't want this!" Adult Neptune shouted and Neptune screamed.
A while pillar of light, and shockwave of power caused Adult Neptune to let go. She was sent flying back, but someone caught her. "B-Sha, Iffy, Compa!" Adult Neptune said in relief. "Woah! A big Nep-Nep?" Compa rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. "We'll worry about that later! B-Sha! You know what to do!" IF exclaimed and B-Sha nodded.
Purple Heart floated in front of Uzume. "T-Those eyes, is Kurome still controlling her?!" Adult Neptune asked in fear. B-Sha's eyes glowed gold, and she called out to Purple Heart. "B-Sha! Get back! I will kill her over and over again!" Purple Heart snarled.
"I'm sorry Nep-Nep, but you gotta calm down!" B-Sha apologized and held out her hand. Share Energy flowed from Purple Heart into B-Sha. They are both connected through the NEXT form's Hyper Share Crystal. Both CPU and Gold Third are empowered by Shares. They can both manipulate it. Gold Third are the ultimate Anti CPU weapons that aren't Anti Share weapons.
This is the ultimate ability of the Gold Third, Share Drain! Purple Heart gripped her head and screamed. She felt her Shares being drained. Just like the time she was captured by Magic. She turned back into Neptune. Compa ran up with a needle, and injected sedatives into Neptune.
Histoire floated in, to see an unconscious Neptune. B-Sha rubbed Neptune's hair and smiled. "I got here in time," She said as she began to transfer the Shares she stole back, slowly. IF put Neptune in handcuffs as she groaned. Histoire used her magic to restore the Basilicom to it's rightful state.
Uzume and Adult Neptune collapsed on their rears. Breathing heavily as a crisis was avoided. Neptune soon woke up and was about to transform. "Neptune, that won't work. Because Compa brought sedatives and B-Sha can just drain your Shares. We will do this over and over again until you stop," Histoire said and Neptune was brought onto the couch.
IF was glaring at Uzume, and Compa was hugging Neptune. B-Sha had a look of terror, remembering the woman who made her hallucinate and rampage in Planeptune. "We would like an explanation on who you are and why, Uzume is 'responsive'," Histoire said.
Compa flinched at remembering Kurome's fate. IF looked at Neptune in abhorrence. B-Sha looked like she was about to vomit. Histoire's face became jaded at remembering what happened to Uzume.
So, they explained who they are. Adult Neptune, Croire, the events that ended in Kurome's defeat, and Uzume being saved. One thing stuck out to Neptune. Nepgear survived, and she is happy and safe in their timeline.
"I see, but things went differently for us, than in you're timeline. Because, when the CPUs were under Kurome's control. Neptune killed Nepgear," Histoire said and Neptune just shot up. She left the room, and kicked her bedroom door closed. "She still has the handcuffs on," IF commented.
"Gearsy? Was killed?" Uzume said and she held her hands to her mouth. "No wonder Mini Me is so messed up. What happened after that?" Adult Neptune asked. "I need to go, i'm not reliving that again," IF left, and so did Compa. "I'm gonna make sure Nep-Nep is alright," B-Sha stood up and went to Neptune's room.
"It snapped Neptune out of Kurome's control. However, she, also snapped. She defeated the other CPUs in her rage. Nearly killing them, making them comatose for weeks. Then, she allowed Kurome to revive by absorbing you."
"Then, Neptune defeated Kurome. By using her status as a CPU of Planeptune against her. Neptune manipulated Kurome's Share energy to weaken her. Then she defeated her," Histoire explained. "But that doesn't sound so bad. What did Nepsy do?" Uzume asked.
"Kurome is still alive, and inside the Basilicom. Neptune, is keeping her under eternal torment," Histoire said, her skin turning pale at the memories. "Can I see her?" Uzume asked. "Kurome, she isn't in any condition to be seen. I wished Neptune would put her out of her misery. What she's doing to Kurome, isn't ethical in the slightest," Histoire replied.
"What do we do?" Adult Neptune asked. "I think it's best that you should leave. Neptune is quite intent on killing you, Uzume. You have friends to return to," Histoire suggested.
"Not a chance, Nepsy is suffering. She is my friend and I'm gonna help her!" Uzume proclaimed. "Yeah! Little Me needs help, and I won't give up on her! In fact, I think I have an idea!" Adult Neptune also said.
"What is it Big Nepsy?" Uzume asked. "Let's head to our timeline. We'll be back! Count on it!" Adult Neptune declared as a purple portal opened and they left. "If they think they can do it. I say let them," IF said as she and Compa reentered.
"I thought you two left?" Histoire asked. "We didn't want to remember what, 'happened', but Big Nep-Nep's right. We gotta help Nep-Nep!" Compa said. "I'll call everyone else. We're gonna get Nep back on her feet!" IF said as she took out two of her nine phones at the same time.
With B-Sha and Neptune. Neptune lied on her bed, rubbing her wrists. B-Sha took the handcuffs off of her. "Hey, Nep-Nep, we're gonna get you some help," B-Sha said, overhearing the conversation outside.
"Help? I don't need help. I'm the main character B-Sha, nothing bad ever happens to the main characters," Neptune said and B-Sha whacked her upside the head. "That isn't true Nep-Nep. Main characters might not die, but a lot of them suffer. You are suffering, but we're not gonna let that be the end of you. I owe you a debt that I can't ever repay. But I know I can at least do something to help you, like you helped me," B-Sha said as she hugged Neptune.
"She was here, Nepgear's murderer was here!" Neptune hissed. "Nep-Nep, killing Uzume won't bring her back. You HAVE to move on," B-Sha rubbed Neptune's back. "You can't run from this forever," B-Sha said as Neptune cried into her shoulder. "We'll get you the help you need Nep-Nep," B-Sha promised and Neptune nodded in the crook of B-Sha's neck.
"Okay, I'll do it," Neptune said and B-Sha giggled. "What's so funny?" She asked, "I'm so happy that you're actually getting help that I couldn't help it. Like happy tears, only with laughter," B-Sha replied. "Thanks B-Sha," Neptune smiled.
The two friends sat on the bed. Hugging eachother the day away.
