Scanea Felix (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
Neptune descended through the clouds from Celestia as Planeptune came into view.
'So, how am I gonna meet with Compa?' She thought. 'Last time it was because I fell down like a shooting star and speared head first into the ground.'
Hey Nep, are you feeling tired at the moment?
Neptune snapped out of her thoughts. "Eh?"
Neptune heard her wings wings suddenly deactivate, and then her thoughts were replaced with two words.
Record scratch
'...Oh crap.'
"WHY DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIIIIIS!" Neptune screamed as she fell from the sky and into a lake. As soon as she realized she was in water, she began swimming up to the surface.
Resume BGM
"Well, at least I didn't end up losing my memory." Neptune muttered after she reached the surface of the lake.
Don't wanna go through that again, Nep?
"In a situation like this, that'd be the last thing I want to happen." Neptune retorted as she swam to the land and pulled herself out of the water...that was when she realized she was tired, like the author said.
'Of course. Celestia doesn't allow you to get tired or hungry. It makes sense to feel this way.'
Neptune flipped over onto her back, looking up at the starry sky, and then let sleep take over.

In Neptune's dream...
Dive into the Heart (Kingdom Hearts)
"Neptune, can you hear me?"
A voice called out, stirring Neptune from her sleep. She opened her eyes to find herself once again floating in darkness. At first she was afraid her world ended again, but then realized that would hardly be possible, then moved to her second option: she was dreaming.
"Hello? Who's there?"
"Oh good, it seems my connection was established without trouble."
Neptune then immediately recognized the voice. "Histy? Is that you?"
"Huh? Why would you give me a nickname even though you don't know who I am?"
"Actually, you and I have met before?"
"...I don't recall this."
"You'll understand once I remind you...after I unseal you from your tome that is."
"I would like that very much. Actually, I have a favor to ask you."
Even though Neptune already knew Histoire's request, she asked anyway. "What is it?"
"Plea...sto...and end...Console War..."
Just like last time, the request came out distorted, but Neptune knew what Histoire meant.
Please stop Arfoire and end the Console War.
"Don't worry, Histy. I promise do just that."
"Th...ank...yo...u"
End BGM
Neptune groaned as she woke up to the sound of an alarm, but instead of looking at a sky, she found herself staring at a ceiling.
Scanea Felix
"Huh? Where am I?" She wondered, and then found that she was laying on a bed...a very soft and confy bed. "This bed..."
"Oh, you're awake."
A familiar voice came to her ears as she sat up and turned her head and saw Compa walking up to the bed.
"Compa, good to see you again."
Compa's eyes widened. "Oh my! I didn't think you would already know my name, Lady Purple Heart."
Neptune smiled. "Of course I do. We're friends."
Compa smiled. "O-Oh my! To think Lady Purple Heart would already consider me a 'friend'... I'm honored!"
Compa held out a hand in respect, and that was when Neptune realized that she hadn't yet reminded her, so she shook Compa's hand, and then a dim light flashed when their hands connected as Compa was once again wide eyed.
"Wow, that was something..."
Neptune let go of Compa's hand and looked at her. "Now, Compa, I'm sorry to ask, but can you go buy me some new clothes? I'm unable to change back to my human form, and I would attract too much attention if I did it myself."
Compa nodded. "Sure. Stay right here, Nep-Nep."
Compa left for the store to get clothes for Neptune.
Once Compa comes back with new clothes for you, I want you to go to Planeptune's Basilicom. There is something you must do in the Sharicite Room.
"Okay."
"I'm back, Nep-Nep!"
Compa's voice called out. Neptune turned her head and saw her enter the room with a grocery bag.
"Thanks, Compa. Now...can I have some privacy?"
Compa nodded. "Alright. I'll wait for you in the living room."
Compa placed the bag on the floor and exited the room, making sure to close the door. Neptune then got out of bed and took out the bag's contents, which consisted of a purple bra and panties of her size, as well as a parka similar to the one she wears in her human form, but big enough for her to fit in her HDD, complete with white D-pad hairclips and purple and white sneakers.
Neptune smiled. "These will do nicely."
Compa sat down on the couch in the living room, waiting for Neptune to finish changing, and then she heard footsteps as she turned to see Neptune now fully dressed in her new clothing.
"I'm done getting dressed, Compa. Now, I apparently have something to do at the Basilicom. Do you know the first dungeon we explored together?" Compa nodded. "Good. Then, I'll meet up with you there."
Compa nodded and again and went up into her room to get her giant syringe as Neptune left the house and walked to the Basilicom, but once got there, she was immediately halted by the guards.
"Halt! State your business!" One of the guards commanded.
Neptune narrowed her eyes at the guard. "I'm sorry, but this is my Basilicom. I should be allowed to enter."
"No one is allowed entry unless they are either Lady Purple Heart or the Basilicom staff."
Neptune sighed. "...Fine. Be that way." A bright light engulfed Neptune as she changed into her processor unit. "Will you let me in now?"
"M-My apologies, Lady Purple Heart."
Neptune changed back to her regular clothing and entered the Basilicom, where she was immediately greeted by one her staff.
"Ah, Lady Purple Heart. How nice of you to return."
Neptune waved to the male NPC. "I can't stay here for very long. I have urgent matters to attend to. I'm just here to check on the Sharicite."
The male NPC nodded. "Very well, Milady."
End BGM
Neptune was now standing in the spacious room where the Sharicite was being kept.
"Okay, I'm here. Now what?"
I want you to touch the Sharicite.
"...Why?"
You will se why very soon. And you'll like it.
Neptune looked very puzzled, but shrugged and decided to do it anyway as she walked up to the Sharicite and put a hand on it...and then the whole room was engulfed in a bright light, forcing Neptune to back away and shield her eyes.
'What's going on!?' She thought as the light continued to shine, before it finally dimmed down as Neptune uncovered her eyes and saw...
"What the goodness? Why am I in the Sharicite Room?"
Neptune went plate eyed with disbelief. Now standing in front of her was her younger sister, Nepgear, now in her HDD form, Purple Sister.
"Nep...gear."
This was what I wanted to show you. If you make contact with a nation's Sharicite, you bring the CPU Candidate, or Candidates in Lowee's case, back to this timeline. But, like you, Noire, Blanc, and Vert, they will permanently be in their HDD. Now go on, I know you want to embrace your little sister so badly.
Nepgear then took notice of Neptune.
"Oh, Neptune. Are you alright? You're looking at me-"
Dearly Beloved (Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded)
"NEPGEAR!"
"Kya-!"
Nepgear let out a surprised yelp as her big sister ran up and hugged her, tears of happiness falling down her cheeks.
"Nep Jr., I'm so glad to see you again."
Nepgear looked at Neptune with surprise. She never saw her big sister act like this in her HDD. "N-Neptune, is something wrong?"
Neptune parted from the hug, wiping the tears from her eyes as she looked at Nepgear with a smile. "I'm fine, Nepgear. I'm just really glad that you're back."
Nepgear blinked. "What do you mean?"
Neptune face became serious. "You remember that major villain that defeated us, right?"
Nepgear winced. "Oh yeah... That didn't end well..."
"Right. So now we're back in the past, and we have to get stronger for when we have to face him again."
Nepgear nodded in understanding. "Alright. So when do we start?"
"Once we bring all our friends together. Speaking of which, Compa should be waiting at that dungeon by now. Let's go and meet up with her."
Nepgear nodded and the two exited the Sharicite Room, where they met up with the same male NPC.
"Ah, Lady Purple Heart, are you done?" The male NPC took notice of Nepgear. "Who the girl with you?"
"Allow me to introduce her. This is Nepgear, my younger sister and Planeptune's new CPU Candidate, Purple Sister."
Nepgear was about to retort about being called a 'new' CPU Candidate, but quickly remembered that she's in the past and kept silent.
"Oh my, how glorious! An honor to meet you, Lady Purple Sister!" The male NPC bowed.
Nepgear smiled. "Thank you very much. I look forward to helping protect Planeptune."
Neptune nodded in approval. "Alright. Now that introductions are out of the way, we best get going."
"Very well." The male NPC nodded as the Planeptune sisters exited the Basilicom.
End BGM
Compa was busy fighting off the weak monsters at the entrance of the first dungeon, easily dispatching each one with a laser shot from her syringe...and then she saw one get taken out by a familiar purple beam as her eyes widened.
'That laser beam...' Compa thought, and then she looked up and saw Neptune flying down with Nepgear. "Nep-Nep, and Ge-Ge, too!"
"It seems you had some fun without us, Compa." Neptune grinned.
"The monsters were all as weak as they were before. I didn't expect to be as strong as I was before, so really it was just...boring."
Neptune shrugged. "Well, we might as well get this dungeon out of the way." Nepgear and Compa nodded, and the three entered the dungeon.
The group of three had already reached the end of the dungeon, defeating any weak monster in their way and defeated the boss with ease. "Wow, that was way too easy." Nepgear commented.
"Told you it was boring." Compa sighed out of boredom.
Well then, let's make things more exciting.
The three blinked in confusion, and they saw a dark aura surround the Guard Vermin they just defeated as it's color changed to a sinister black and purple and purple lightning cackled all over it's body and now black sword.
Needless to say, the three were shocked. "Wh-What kind of form is this!?" Neptune asked.
I looked over a few things between line breaks. Apparently, some of the negative energy from the time when the world ended found it's way into some of the monsters, giving them a form far stronger than Viral Form. I decided to call this new form END form.
"END Form... The name alone sounds very dangerous." Nepgear said as the Guard Vermin roared viciously at them. "Well, might as well see how dangerous this form is."
Normal Boss (Freedom Planet)
Neptune flew at the Guard Vermin and slashed it several times, but then it unleashed an electrical blast to knock her away as Compa fired laser blasts at it, but it shrugged it off and fired an electricity at her as she barely avoided it.
"M.P.B.L.! Target locked!" Nepgear fired her Multiple Beam Launcher at the monster as it blocked it with its sword, but then Neptune came from behind in her NEXT Form and slashed its back, causing it to stagger and drop its guard, which let it get hit by the purple beam.
The Guard Vermin growled and unleashed an electric slash wave at Neptune, but she quickly avoided the attack.
"Critical Edge!" Neptune slashed the monster dealing times, dealing some damage to it, but not nearly enough to knock it out as it roared and summoned a thunderstorm, bringing down purple thunder at the three, the electricity surging through their bodies as they screamed in pain.
The Guard Vermin approached the weakened trio and brought its sword down on Compa, but she quickly rolled out of the way of the strike and fired a pink beam from her syringe, but it didn't seem to do much as it swung its sword at her again, but she quickly jumped over it and landed near Neptune and Nepgear.
"First Aid!" Compa's hand glowed a green light as she healed the Planeptune sisters, but then the Guard Vermin fired electricity at them as Nepgear quickly got up and fired her Multiple Beam Launcher to counter it.
"Alright. It's become clear that this monster's a lot stronger now." Neptune observed.
"I can hardly do any damage to it now. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be much help..." Compa said sadly.
Not if I have anything to say about it!
Suddenly, a white ball of light came down from the sky and entered Compa.
"Wha-!?" Compa looked confused...and then she was suddenly engulfed in a bright light.
"No way...!"
"What the goodness!?"
The Planeptune sisters looked on in shock as Compa transformed into her newly acquired HDD (look at HamasakiArruno's picture of Compa's CPU form, except her chest is the same size as her human form and her hair is pink).
I figured that you guys would need some more firepower for this quest, so here you go, Compa. Your new CPU Form, Pink Heart!
"Wow, so this is what it feels like to be a CPU." Compa said, her voice sounding more mature in her CPU Form.
"We should be able to beat this thing with all three of us being CPUs now. Let's go!" Neptune flew at the Guard Vermin and started slashing it again, the monster roaring as it swung its sword at her, but she quickly retreated back to dodge.
"I'll shred them with my Panzer Blade!" Nepgear slashed the monster some more, but then it unleashed another electrical blast to knock her away.
"Medical Bullet!" Compa fired a green laser from her gun that healed Nepgear, and then she aimed it at the Guard Vermin. "Heart Shot!" Compa fired a pink laser that exploded into a heart and dealt massive damage to the monster.
"32-bit Mega Blade!" Neptune materialized a sword out of thin air and flung it at the Guard Vermin, the sword stabbing the ground below it before exploding into a pillar of light that continuously damaged it, leaving it very weakened.
"You're done! Love Cannon!" Compa finished it off by firing a powerful pink beam at it, and then it exploded into pixels.
Planeptune's Theme (Hyperdimension Neptunia)
Neptune exhaled. "Looks like we defeated it."
Neptune changed back into her normal clothes and picked up the Key Fragment while Compa transformed back into her human form.
"Neptune, can you hear me? This is Histoire."
The three heard Histoire call out to Neptune.
"Oh, Histy. We found the Key Fragment here in Planeptune." Neptune asked.
"Ohohoh! I can hear Histoire, this time!" Compa exclaimed.
"I can hear her, too. Histoire, can you hear us?" Nepgear asked.
"I can hear you both, but I don't know who you two are." Histoire said, her voice uncertain.
"Oh right. I'm Nepgear, Planeptune's CPU Candidate, Purple Sister."
"And I'm Compa. I'm the newest CPU, Pink Heart." Compa has apparently already familiarized herself with being a CPU.
Histoire gasped. "What!? I was not aware that there was a new CPU, or that Planeptune had a CPU candidate!"
"Nepgear was just created a while ago, and Compa was given a strange power that made her a CPU." Neptune explained.
"I see. Anyway, you might already already be aware of this, but that Key Fragment is one of the four needed to release me from this seal."
Neptune nodded. "Yes, we're aware of that. And we need to go to the other nations to get the Key Fragments there."
"That is correct."
"Then leave it to us. We'll get you out of there." Neptune assured. "But first, there is someone else I would like to meet."
"Very well."
Neptune turned to the other two CPUs. "Let's go. We have to meet up with Iffy." Nepgear and Compa nodded and the three left the dungeon.
"So, this is the dungeon where we'll meet up with IF?" Nepgear asked as they entered their second dungeon. Compa bought her new clothes off-screen as she new looked like how she was in her human form. "How did you meet up with her again?"
Neptune thought about it as they walked. "If I remember correctly, Iffy and I ran into-aghh!" Without looking, Neptune into the person they were looking for, a dim light shining when the two made contact.
"Like that." Compa simply said.
Nepgear sweatdropped. "Well, that was easy."
IF groaned. "Ow, geez Nep. Did you have to meet me like this again?"
Neptune got up, and then helped IF up to her feet. "Sorry about that, Iffy. Though it was rather convenient."
IF picked up her phone and put it back in her pocket. "Whatever, since the four of us are-" She stopped herself and looked at Nepgear in surprise. "Wait a minute. Gear? But you aren't suppose to be here in this point of time!"
Nepgear shrugged. "Neptune caused me to be born early, I guess."
"Okaaaaay?" IF didn't quite get what she meant, but decided not to ask. "Anyway, let's just defeat the Sand Worm."
The group of four reached the end of the dungeon, defeating any enemy in their way (Compa also deciding to show IF her new CPU Form, which of course, surprised the heck out of her), and defeating the Sand Worm IF was tasked to defeat. But before they could leave...
"Haaah ha ha ha!"
...they heard an all too familiar laugh.
"Are you sure you returned ALL of my memories from the previous timeline? Because I forgot about her." IF joked.
"I wish I could forget her..." Neptune muttered.
Face It! (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
The one they were referring to was the witch, Arfoire as she approached the four with a sinister smirk. "I found you, Neptune. I didn't think you would actually come down to the world below!" She turned her attention to Nepgear. "And I take it you are CPU Purple Sister?"
Nepgear nodded seriously. "My name is Nepgear."
Neptune glared at the witch. "We know you all too well, Arfoire."
Arfoire smirked. "Is that so? Then let us skip the introductions."
Boss Battle (Persona 2: Innocent Sin)
Arfoire summoned her scepter and charged at Neptune, who immediately changed into her processor unit and summoned her sword to block the attack and then kicked her away, but Arfoire quickly recovered and fired a dark blast, which was sliced in half by Neptune as Nepgear changed into her processor unit.
"Mirage Dance!" Nepgear slashed her several times, Arfoire blocking most of the strikes, but was knocked by the last strike, and then Nepgear flew up and kicked her down.
"I see you two are quite strong. Very well, then I'll pick off the weaklings first." Arfoire turned to IF and Compa and fired a dark blast at them, but Compa quickly fired a laser from her syringe to counter it and then immediately activated her HDD. Needless to say, Arfoire was shocked by her new appearance.
"She's a CPU, too!?"
Compa aimed her gun at Arfoire. "You will now know the power of CPU Pink Heart! Holy Burst!" Compa charged a light blast and fired it at Arfoire, resulting in a giant explosion of light that dealt great damage.
IF watched as Neptune, Nepgear, and even Compa fought Arfoire. "Man, this is something. Gear was born early and Compa's now a CPU. Next thing you know, I might become a CPU, too."
Congratulation, you just predicted the future.
Suddenly, a white ball of light came down from the sky and entered IF.
"Huh...?" IF looked confused...and then she was engulfed in a bright light that made the others stop fighting and look at her.
"Wh-What's going on with IF?" Nepgear wondered.
Compa gasped. "This is...just like how I became a CPU...!"
"Then that means...!" Neptune said as the light died down to reveal IF's new HDD Form.
IF's HDD's battle suit was a black and indigo one piece swimsuit that covered all but the top of her now grown chest. Her wings looked like demon wings, but were mechanical and were indigo-colored. She had indigo hair that was tied back into a ponytail down to her waist, and red eyes with white power symbol pupils.
Her weapon? A pair of ingido energy blades that extended from the black gauntlets on her wrists.
Arfoire was beyond shocked now. "Another CPU!?"
Meet IF's new CPU Form, Indigo Heart!
IF grinned. "Interesting. I can feel the power of a Goddess coursing through me." She said, her voice sounding calm as she turned to her friends. "Let's do this."
"Tch! Even if your friend's now a CPU, she's nothing more than a newborn chick!" Arfoire sped past the three and attacked IF, but she nimbly dodged the attack.
"Demonic Dance!" IF slashed Arfoire several times that it looked like she was dancing, and then kicked her to Neptune.
"Victory Slash!" Neptune followed up by slashing her twice in the shape of a 'V', dealing great damage to Arfoire.
"My strongest attack! Thousand Light Rain!" Compa fired a laser beam into the sky, which then exploded into thousands of lasers that bombarded Arfoire, causing the ground below her to light and explode, sending her into the air. "It's not over yet!" Compa then flew up above Arfoire and kicked her down to the ground. "This is the final blow!" She finished her attack by firing a powerful beam of light down at Arfoire, causing an explosion as Arfoire was now defeated.
End BGM
Arfoire groaned as she stood up, using her scepter to steady herself. "How... How could I be defeated so easily?" She then realized. "That's right. This is Planeptune. It's your home turf, Neptune. You have the advantage here. But next will be different! I promise you that!" And with that Arfoire left.
Neptune and Nepgear changed back into their normal clothes while IF and Compa transformed back to their human forms. "I highly doubt that. You haven't yet witnessed my true power." Neptune grinned.
"Now that the four of us are all here and we have the Key Fragment in Planeptune, it's about time we head to Lastation, don't you think?" Neptune asked as they walked out the dungeon.
"Yeah, although we'll have to deal with those Avenir bastards again." IF grimaced at the thought.
"Since all four of us are CPUs now, how about we fly there this time?" Compa suggested.
"That would attract too much attention. It's best we cross the Sky Harbor." Neptune told her.
"Oh yeah! This is around the time when the nations were in the sky, right?" Nepgear asked.
Neptune nodded. "That's right, so people use the Sky Harbor to cross to other nations when they're close together."
Nepgear nodded in understanding. "Alright, then let's head to the Sky Harbor and cross to Lastation!"
