Chapter 57

Two girls that sounded similar let out screams, creating a shock wave that sent them flying back from each other. "Oooh! Other me is such a meanie!" Orange Heart pouted as she flew through the air before landing on her butt. "Owwies!" She got to her feet as she saw Delusional Orange was sitting on the ground while gripping her head.

"Uzume has a bad headache." Delusional Orange shook her head as she got to her feet and turned to her right, rolling off with Orange Heart following after her as the two rolled across the ground, bobbing and weaving between broken buildings, downed trees, and around or over cars. "Whee! Uzume remembers the roller derby fight!" Delusional Orange giggled as she jumped up on a car, stomped down to force the doors to pop open before jumping off and kicking the door at Orange Heart. "Uzume just remembered that her opponents cheated like this and the judge was such a MEANIE and didn't call a foul!"

Orange Heart jumped over the door and did a dive kick right at Delusional Orange, who smiled and rolled backwards, avoiding the attack. "So what? If Uzume's dealing with cheaters, then Uzume will give them a ten punch combo!"

"But there are rules against that!" Delusional Orange protested, "because otherwise Uzume couldn't have played because she's a Goddess and too strong."

Orange Heart bit her lower lip and rushed forward as fast as she could. "Uzume will stop you, Dream Roar!" Suddenly a burst of speed launched her forward as she flipped forward and drove her feet into Delusional Orange's stomach, forcing her other self to double over as she was knocked off of her feet. Orange Heart pushed off of Delusional Orange's stomach before pushing off and into the air while pointing her megaphone down and letting out a loud roar, blasting Delusional Orange into the ground, where she bounced off of the ground.

After bouncing off the ground a few times and sliding to a halt, Delusional Orange pushed herself up while rubbing her butt. "Owwies! That hurt!" Delusional Orange pouted and looked behind and down as if she was trying to see her rear end. "What if Uzume got a rock in her butt?!" She yelled while stomping her foot at Orange Heart. "Uzume knows that she has a super dee duper cute butt, but it still hurts!"

Before Orange Heart knew what was going on, Delusional Orange threw her Megaphone over her right shoulder. "Wait, that's..."

"Uzume should sink into Delusion!" Delusional Orange cried out as she held her right arm out as blue and white energy surrounded it before she rushed forward, her right arm spinning like a drill. "Fantasy Breaker!"

"EEEK!" Orange Heart crossed her arms and created a barrier to minimize the damage, but she knew that if this was anything like her version of the move, it would still punch through. "GAH!" Orange Heart's eyes widened as Delusional Orange passed by her before spinning around.

"Bye bye! Tee hee!" Delusional Orange giggled as Orange Heart was engulfed in an explosion and was sent flying into a nearby tree. Smiling, she didn't turn around even as she continued to speak. "It's been so long since Uzume could transform, Uzume's so happy!" She turned and looked over her shoulder. "Aren't you happy, Nepsy?"

Purple Heart gave her a neutral look. "You're putting everyone at risk with this."

Delusional Orange pouted and turned around. "But, Nepsy, they betrayed you too! How come you don't want revenge?"

"...What good would it do?" Purple Heart asked, much to Delusional Orange's visible confusion. "Even if you get your revenge against those that hurt you, you'll cause fear and distrust among the rest of the people. Eventually you'll end up alone and forgotten." A troubled look crossed Purple Heart's face. "I know a CPU who acted on similar feelings to you, it ended with the ruination of her nation and the people scattering away from her and her nation for centuries."

Delusional Orange growled at Purple Heart and rushed up to the taller CPU, grabbing her by the scruff of her neck and lifting her up and off of her feet. "What would Nepsy know about revenge? Nepsy let all the people trample over her feelings and gave up everything for ingrates!"

Purple Heart gave Delusional Orange a look that wouldn't be out of place on her Mole Queen self. "And what has wanting revenge gotten you, Kuro...No, Uzume?" Delusional Orange blinked a few times as Purple Heart continued. "All revenge got you was twisted and tainted memories, your powers splitting between two people... All it does is hollow you out, leaving you with nothing when it's over."

Delusional Orange grit her teeth even as tears filled her eyes. "Nepsy is... Nepsy is lying! Nepsy wants revenge against someone too!"

"...I hate that angel, yes." Purple Heart nodded, "but I don't want revenge against the people."

"WHY?!" Delusional Orange yelled and Purple Heart gently reached up and cupped Delusional Orange's cheeks. "...Nepsy?"

Purple Heart smiled softly as she reached up and gently rubbed the tears out of Delusional Orange's eyes. "Sunflowers."

"...Huh?"

"Didn't my other self want to take you to see some sunflowers?" Purple Heart asked and she felt Delusional Orange tremble slightly. "That made you happy, didn't it? And how come you didn't use Ouya, Stadia, Plutie or Peashy like you used me, Noire, Vert and Blanc?"

Delusional Orange growled, her eyes narrowing as she suddenly slammed Purple Heart to the ground as hard as she could. "NEPSY DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING! NEPSY JUST LETS PEOPLE TRAMPLE ON HER FEELINGS! NEPSY... AAAAAAAH!" Delusional Orange yelled while kicking Purple Heart in the stomach so hard that she launched Purple Heart into a nearby building. Tears fell freely from Delusional Orange's eyes as she stared at where Purple Heart had been launched. "Why is Nepsy so soft? People abuse her so much and..."

"Bad Kurome!" Delusional Orange turned just in time to get rapidly punched over and over again. "Yah yah yah yah yah yah!" She finished it off with a single strong punch that sent Kurome crashing into a building. "Nepsy knows better than us!" Orange Heart declared while pointing at Delusional Orange, who was laying on the ground with her eyes spinning and stars spinning around on top of her head.

"Owwies..." Delusional Orange shook her head to clear it and stood up. "Uzume will stop Uzume and..." She trailed off, her eyes going white and blank, as did Orange Heart's eyes. "Uzume is Uzume, but Uzume is Uzume too and... Owwie, Uzume has a headache."

"Maybe Uzume should be Uzume and other Uzume should be Kurome for good?" Orange Heart asked and Delusional Orange nodded in agreement.

"Kurome agrees." Delusional Orange nodded before cracking her knuckles and then rushing forward while rapidly punching Orange Heart over and over and over again. "Ora ora ora ora ora ora!" Orange Heart jerked over and over and over again before Delusional Orange finished with a single strong punch to the jaw, sending her flying away. "Dream Striker win! Yaa~aaay!" Delusional Orange cheered while winking and doing two V-shapes with her fingers.

"You asked why I'm soft." Purple Heart asked as she stood up, panting and looking exhausted. "...I know what it's like, Uzume, to hurt so much that you can't stand it. To let the negative feelings overtake you."

"NO!" Delusional Orange spun around and rushed up to Purple Heart, leaning in close so that she could look at her junior CPU in the face. "Nepsy says she knows, but Nepsy never had people fear her!" She poked Purple Heart in the chest. "Nepsy never had everyone hate her!"

"...Yes I have." Purple Heart said softly and Delusional Orange blinked in surprise. "...When I was freed from my brainwashing, the people hated me because of what I did to protect Ouya and Stadia, what I did to protect the Mole People and those who happened to be born between Mole People and the humans. Even many of the Mole People weren't happy with me, because they saw the freedom of CPUs as a return to being trampled on."

"Then why does Nepsy not hate them?!"

Purple Heart gave Delusional Orange a sad look. "What good would it have done, Uzume? If I hated them because they hated me, then it would have just created a cycle of pain and suffering." She saw Delusional Orange trembling and Purple Heart bit her lip softly. "But it hurts, doesn't it?" Delusional Orange blinked a few times. "The betrayal, the hatred, the way people selfishly push all their failings onto you, right?"

"Of course it does!" Delusional Orange yelled and let out a squeak as Purple Heart smiled and hugged her. "Nepsy?"

"...It hurts, because you loved them. You loved them so much that the pain of them turning on you hurt so much more than if you didn't care."

"You're wrong!" Delusional Orange yelled and pushed Purple Heart away from her. "Kurome doesn't love them! Kurome hates them! Kurome has nothing but hate in her now!" Tears fell from her eyes as she glowed orange and black. "Kurome hates! Hate! HATE! HAAAAATE!"

"STOP THIS!" Purple Heart yelled and slapped Delusional Orange's face so hard that she fell on her butt. "Uzume Tennouboushi!" Delusional Orange sniffled and stared at Purple Heart in shock as she stood there tall and proud. "You saw my memories, you know as well as anyone how much I was hurting. I willingly went back to the man who used me while I was brainwashed because he gave me comfort."

"But I..." Delusional Orange trembled and looked down. "I had no one."

Purple Heart smiled and knelt down. "I know." She put her hand on Delusional Orange's shoulders. "...And I'll be honest, I had a cheat as to why I never got consumed by my hatred."

"Me." Purple Queen said as she and Purple Sister came up to them. "Seriously, Kurome, knock it off." She scoffed at Delusional Orange, who stared at her in shock. "What? You made me come out when you brainwashed me, I just decided to come out for real."

"...Well, it's been awhile since I saw you outside of me." Purple Heart muttered and sighed. "No wonder I was feeling weird."

"So, are we done?" Orange Heart asked as she rolled up to them and looked at Delusional Orange.

"Uh huh, Kurome's tired." Delusional Orange muttered as she looked down. "...Kurome is..."

There was a beeping sound and Purple Sister blinked as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. "Oh, it's Histoire. Why is she calling?" She answered it and put it on speaker phone. "Hello, Histoire. We're just about done here."

"Oh good, because another Dark CPU appeared suddenly, it's huge and orange and I have NO idea how it suddenly appeared."

Everyone looked at Delusional Orange who had a confused look on her face. "Kurome doesn't know how that happened, Kurome was..." Her eyes widened in shock. "Oh! Kurome must have summoned it when she was mad!" She closed her eyes and giggled while sticking her tongue out. "Oopsie. Oh well, Kurome still thinks that people need to die."

"Darn it!" Orange Heart pouted. "That's super duper not cool! We need to get Big Nepsy and Crosy and get to..."

"Um..." Purple Sister spoke up. "Histoire, are you in the Basilicom?"

"Yes, why?"

Purple Sister smiled. "Is there a button that suddenly started flashing anywhere nearby?"

"...Nepgear, what did you do?" Both Histoire and Purple Heart asked at the same time.

"Well..." Purple Sister just continued to smile. "Histoire, is there a button there?"

"Huh, yes, there is, it says "push in case of Godzilla", but there's no... Well, I suppose..."

"Hey, Histy," Orange Heart spoke up, "push the button! I bet it will be super dee duper awesome!"

Hyper Dimension...

Histoire frowned softly, that voice sounded so familiar to her. "Well, okay..." She nodded to the Basilicom staff member to push the button.

Suddenly an alarm rang throughout the Basilicom. "This is CPU Candidate Nepgear advising everyone to remain calm."

(-)

Lastation...

The Basilicom staff members looked around in surprise as they heard Nepgear's voice over the intercom. "Please vacate the Basilicom in an orderly fashion, Final Defense Plan has been activated."

The group took one look at each other before vacating the premises.

Similar events were taking place in Lowee and Lastation as well.

As soon as everyone had vacated the Basilicoms, they watched as the Basilicoms suddenly locked down with metal over the windows and doors before the buildings started to shift and slide with the edges of the building pulling away and revealing what looked like part of a giant robot in each Basilicom that suddenly launched themselves out of the ground and towards where Dark Orange, who was in Planeptune, was located.

Flying on their battleship, Steamax stared as he saw several large robot parts flying in one direction. "What is going on?"

"SMILE!" A voice that sounded like Nepgear's, but more robotic suddenly yelled and he jumped while spinning around to see Nepgear, but with a weird look on her face, standing near Affimojas.

"What is going on?" Affimojas asked as he looked at Nepgear curiously. "I thought you were with the CPUs?"

"I'm Nepgya!" Nepgya giggled at him. "I'm a robot that was created by Nepgear out of her funny face components. And I'm here to finish the giant robot!"

"...Huh?" Affimojas and Steamax asked as Nepgya jumped up and landed in front of the control panel before pushing buttons. "HEY!" They both yelled and moved to stop her when they felt their battleship shifting. "What the?"

"Don't worry! Master Nepgear had me come here after you were beaten and captured to fix your ship up and put the final touches for the giant robot she was trying to make. Oooh! That's a big CPU." Nepgya giggled and raised her arm up as a large red button that was encased in glass was glowing. "Well... SMILE PROGRAM... DRIVE!" She yelled before slamming her hand down on the button so hard that she shattered the glass.

As the battleship shifted and moved, Steamax and Affimojas watched, in absolute shock as the robots around them shifted and changed while their own battleship changed and moved.

"Form feet and legs!" Nepgya yelled out, laughing as the Lowee and Lastation robots shifted and turned into legs. "Form arms and body!" The Leanbox and Planeptune robots transformed into arms. "And this battleship will be the head!"

Suddenly the Basilicom robots connected to the battleship, becoming a giant robot.

"...HOW?!" Both Steamax and Affimojas asked and looked at Nepgya.

"Well, no one was paying attention and Master Nepgear had experience turning Basilicoms into giant robots, so it was easy to have me convert your battleship into the body for a combining robot."

Affimojas and Steamax stared at Nepgya and then at each other. "...Steamax..."

"Yes, general?"

"If the information about Lady Uni and Lady Nepgear being super close is to be believed, and you are trying to woo Lady Uni, I suggest you be as close as possible with Lady Nepgear so she doesn't turn you into a combining robot." Affimojas said and Steamax nodded stiffly, knowing that he wouldn't survive such a thing.

Nepgya laughed and pointed her right arm straight up and laughed. "Onwards! Fight the giant monster!"

Everyone on the outside could only stare in shock as a giant, white body with purple, black, white and green limbs crashed into the giant orange monster and the two started to punch it out.

Histoire, who flew up to the top of the buildings in Planeptune to see what was going on, could only stare in disbelief. "...She actually completed her giant robot?" She wasn't sure if she was impressed or flabbergasted, but for once, she was thankful for Nepgear's, generally harmless, insanity when it came to robotics.

It's a mix of GaoGaiGar and Voltron, okay? And no, I have NO clue how Nepgya remodeled a battleship so fast.
