Fun fact, Netherrealm has unironically never played a video game.
Each of the four CPUs have their own specialized martial art. For Neptune's her stance is Kiryu's dragon stance.
IF was sitting on the porch of Plutia's home. The sun was beginning to set and IF sipped on a cup of tea. "I made it myself," Vert said, sitting next to IF. "It tastes amazing!" IF said with a flustered smile. IF felt the smooth glove of Vert caress her cheek. "You are just the cutest thing," Vert cooed. With her other hand, she took the cup of tea out of IF's hand, placing it beside her. Then Vert fully places IF's head into her chest.
IF's muffled groans caused Vert to smile. "Iffy, I wish to try this with you. I want to experience a relationship for the first time in my life. Would you indulge me in my selfish request?" Vert asked IF. She looked up at Vert and nodded. "Tell me, how are Neptune and Noire?" Vert asked and IF froze up.
"Don't be nervous my darling Iffy. I knew from the news about the YingLong incident. How two CPUs teamed up to stop a robot and their companions defeated the creator of the robot. The Multi-Platformers is what they're called. Also I sensed Neptune and Noire's divine essence. My senses are still suprisingly strong," Vert explained.
"Lady Vert what do you mean by suprisingly strong?" IF asked in concern. Vert looked at her hand, clenching and unclenching it. "I can feel the faith of the people waning. My powers are decreasing, and I'll cease to be a CPU," Vert replied in a matter of fact way. IF shot out of Vert's arms.
"Lady Vert! You have to come back! The world needs you! I need you!" IF exclaimed. She looked up to Green Heart since she was a child. Wanting to be as kind, strong and beautiful as her. Yet IF betrayed Nisa and Gust. All for her own selfish desire for money, and that money didn't last long. She threw away her friends for nothing.
With the Multi-Platformers, IF feels happy again. She wanted Leanbox to win the Console War for a long time. Even though Lowee is the unspoken victor. Now she meets her idol and her idol wishes to experience a relationship. Then, that same idol denies taking a throne that's rightfully hers.
Vert narrows her eyes at the distance. "They're getting closer, your friends, I mean. I knew I couldn't hide away from them for too long," Vert sighed and IF sat down in Vert's lap. IF fidgeted with her fingers and Vert put her arms around IF's waist. Her large breasts squishing IF back. "Now we wait, and I can put all this behind me," Vert said.
With The Multi-Platformers, they were fighting through a hoarde of monsters. Netherrealm is using his Shadow Style to add a few numbers. He used them as fodder. Yet constantly summoning shadows is draining his SP. Two shadows picked up a Pervert Senpai by it's legs and arms. They pulled it and Noire slashed it in half.
Neptune caught a roped kunai Netherrealm threw at her. They created an impromptu trip wire, which created a dogpile of feral monstrosities. Netherrealm switched to his Lightning God Style.
*Formation Skill: Qilin Strike*
Noire and Netherrealm ran foward, with Noire leading the charge. She held her rapier in front of her, skewering a monster and jumping into the air. She spun in the air and threw it at Netherrealm. She slashed downwards, creating waves of fire following the monster.
Netherrealm caught the monster and electrocuted it and he held it above him. Shielding him from the fire slashes. He threw it to the side and thrusted out his palm, firing a bolt of black lightning. Noire landed in front of Netherrealm and spun with her sword out. The black lightning conducted and sparked along Noire's blade. She stabbed the monster with one heavy thrust. Creating a thunderous explosion that sent her back.
Noire landed next to Netherrealm. Who crossed his arms in satisfaction while Noire flipped her hair cockily.
Compa wrestled with a Dogoo Man, then she punched it's abs. Tearing through it's stomach and goo splattered on her face. Compa pulled her hand out of the new hole she made as it disappeared into pixels. Netherrealm threw a roped kunai at another monster, pulling it towards him and Neptune drop kicked the monster as Netherrealm pulled it.
"Go Broggy!" A voice yelled as the Multi-Platformers heard the sound of a large dog barking. A yellow brick block, the size of Netherrealm with legs, a dog face and ears jumped from the bushes. It charged into monster. Then it jumped onto another one. Little yellow bricks with legs and faces, but this time with cat ears came out of the bushes to jump onto the rest of the monsters.
A man walked out of the bushes. He has heterochromia, with his left eye being red and right eye being blue. He has a bushy brown moustache, a somewhat chubby body. Laugh lines on his cheeks, a tattered red cloak with gold star shaped clasps over a black bodysuit. "Good boy Broggy! Who's a good boy? You are!" The man praised Broggy, the large cuboid dog.
He scratched behind Broggy's ears. Then Broggy disappeared into golden dust. He looked at the Multi-Platformers with a dreamy smile. "Who are you?" Noire asked the newcomer. "I'm AlphaDream, and I'm looking for my kids. The little rascals have evaded my sight," AlphaDream introduced himself.
"You're kids are in monster infested woods?!" Noire exclaimed. "The monsters here pose no threat to those little bean-beans. I raised them probably after all," AlphaDream laughed jovially. "It's just my wife is gonna kill me if I don't find them," He explained with a somewhat scared look on his face.
"What was up with those monsters Alphy? They've never acted like that before," Neptune asked. "Well, these monsters have been gathering into hoardes, and stalking their prey before attacking. This hoarde was only about thirty and you all took down twenty before I arrived," AlphaDream explained.
"Where do you think your kids are now?" Compa asked, worried about AlphaDream's children. "Well, i've already searched most of the woods. They're most likely at home for dinner. I do hope Puru-pie goes easy on me," AlphaDream said, scratching the back of his head with a blush and doofy smile.
The Multi-Platformers followed AlphaDream to a farmhouse as the evening begun. The sun is setting and the sky is beautiful orange and red. "Daddy!" Dione and Pan exclaimed. They jumped into AlphaDream's arms.
IF was pulled into a hug by Compa. Neptune and Netherrealm were also forced into the hug. "We were so worried about you Iffy!" Compa exclaimed, on the verge of tears. "Don't go running off again!" Netherrealm exclaimed. "Yeah, you're our friend Iffy," Neptune said with a soft smile.
"Woah! I can feel something! It's pretty strong," Neptune said and Compa let her friends out of the hug. "That would be divine energy, and I feel it as well," Noire said and she locked eyes with Vert. Who had her arms crossed under her large breasts. "Vert, so this is what you look like," Noire said, putting one hand on her hip.
"Indeed, I didn't think someone like Neptune would have such a small body. Truly we live in a strange world," Vert said with a glare. "Alright! We found Vert!" Neptune exclaimed and she walked up to Vert with a smile on her face.
"Heya Vert, we're going around and recruiting the other CPUs to join our party to stop this evil witch lady named Arfoire. Wanna join?" Neptune asked and Vert had a suprised look on her face. "You're much different than how I saw you last. What changed? Why do you want us to get along now of all times?" Vert asked with a skeptical look.
"Well, I lost my memories after you guys kicked me off Celestia. Now Celestia is closed and Arfoire is causing turmoil across Gamindustri. She's even disguised herself as White Heart and is ruling Lowee," Neptune said and Vert was silent for a few minutes.
"I'm afraid that I cannot do that," Vert said with a tired expression. "Tch, fucking lazy ass-" Netherrealm cursed under his breath. IF elbowed him to signal him to shut up. "Don't talk about Lady Vert like that Netty!" IF said with a harsh glare.
"NEPU?! Why not?!" Neptune asked and Noire raised an eyebrow. "Is it because of our past as enemies?" Noire asked Vert. "Partly the reason, yes, but I quit being a CPU," Vert said. This caused Noire and Neptune to look at eachother in confusion.
Noire remembered how passive and apathetic Vert was in their last battle on Celestia. Before they kicked off Neptune, and Blanc kicked them off. "We never had a choice in being a CPU. We are born, told to fight others just like us, and become the True Goddess. What about us? What about what we want? I want to live a life, I want to have something like this farm. I want to have do things besides fighting to the death."
"We were never given a choice in the matter. We've been fighting for some grand delusion that's torn people apart. I'm done with fighting, I know something is taking my Shares away. That's fine, I just wish to be normal for once," Vert explained with a wistful expression.
"You coward!" Noire yelled at Vert. "You're running away from your responsibilities as a CPU! Neptune lost her memories and isn't running away!" Noire exclaimed. "What responsibility!? The burden that was forced on me the day I was born!?" Vert responded, and turned away.
"Lady Vert, please, we need you," IF asked, grabbing Vert's hand. "Iffy, my darling, I don't know what to do. I just want to have something, I want to get to know you," Vert admitted, being conflicted on this.
All the CPUs were groomed to fight one another to become the True Goddess of Gamindustri. Yet Vert realized how pointless it all was. She still loves her nation unconditionally. Day in and out, it was fight to the death for Vert for years. She is not too thrilled about taking up arms again.
"This is a waste of time, let's head back," Netherrealm said, shaking his head. Neptune walked up to Vert, and looked up at her. Neptune put her hands on her hips. "Vert, we need you, Leanbox needs you, and Gamindustri needs you," Neptune said with a frown. "How could a monster like you possibly understand? You killed your own sister, and bragged about it in front of all of us. You had no love for your nation. You were a pitiless warmonger," Vert scoffed and Neptune sighed.
"Words aren't getting to you? Will anything we say convince you?" Neptune asked. "Us CPUs are just tools for posturing nations. I won't be anyone's tool anymore. This is my choice, and you won't take it from me," Vert growled. Neptune transformed into Purple Heart and backed up, entering a fighting stance.
"What is this barbaric behavior?" Vert asked. "I'm taking a page from my friend's book. If words cannot solve anything, perhaps my actions will prove my convictions," Purple Heart replied. She glanced at Netherrealm and winked. Netherrealm shook his head and chuckled.
A pillar of holy light erupted under Vert. Rings of code surrounded the pillar. In that split second, Green Heart stood in front of Purple Heart. Mint green hair that's tied into a ponytail. Cut out white leotard to show off her midriff and underboob. She twirled a spear in her hand before stabbing into the ground. Her eyes are royal purple with white power symbols for pupils.
"The gang's almost fully reunited," Green Heart said sarcastically. "Neptune! You had to have Netherrealm, IF and Compa on your side to beat me. You're still weakened, you can't beat her!" Noire warned in a hushed whisper. "I have to do this, I have to regain my former strength. Pushing limits to create new ones, then break the limits you just created. That's what i'll do," Purple Heart declared.
Green Heart entered her fighting stance. Purple Heart uses mixed martial arts, mostly karate and street fighting. Green Heart's stance is loose, with her palms facing up, and arms in front of her. She's using Kung-fu as her main offence.
Purple Heart flew at Green Heart. Who breathed in and out deeply as Purple Heart blizted her. Green Heart jumped into the air as both CPUs readied a punch as the collided. Their fists flew, but they missed and got their arms locked instead
CPU of Leanbox
Green Heart
They both fell onto their sides and got their arms unlocked. Green Heart rolled onto her stomach to throw a punch down onto Purple Heart. However, she rolled away and got to her feet. Green Heart spun to her feet as the air itself helped her up.
Green Heart palm struck each punch from Purple Heart systematically. Then Green Heart shoved her palm on Purple Heart's stomach. She focused her divine energy and it exploded. Purple Heart flew back from the shockwave and her body felt like bugs were crawling inside her and bursting out everywhere.
Green Heart jumped into the air in the crane stance. She flipped and axe kicked at Purple Heart. Wind and green lights trailed from her foot. Purple Heart quickstepped out of the way. Then she lunged foward with a heavy punch. It impacted Green Heart's face. Sending her a few feet away and airborne.
Purple Heart dashed foward and grabbed Green Heart's ankle. Yet Green Heart twisted her body and her other foot kicked Purple Heart's temple. Both of them were dragged to the floor. Green Heart was on top of Purple Heart. She reeled back a fist, it glowed green as wind surrounded it. Purple Heart titled her head to avoid the punch. Green Heart buried her fist deep into the dirt.
Green Heart gets headbutted by Purple Heart and is pushed off. They get back to their feet. Purple Heart jabbed at Green Heart, who pushed her fist down and away. Purple Heart raised her arm to block a jab from Green Heart. In response, Purple Heart threw out a left hook that Green Heart blocked with her arm.
Purple Heart then attempted to give Green Heart's ribs a right hook. Green Heart blocked it with her arm, by pointing it downwards. Green Heart side kicked at Purple Heart's temple. She blocked it by covering her ears. Then she titled to the side to avoid a jab from Green Heart. Purple Heart ducked under a left hook from Green Heart. Then as the hook moved over her head. Purple Heart jumped up and reeled back her fist. She gave Green Heart a left hook square to the temple.
Green Heart stumbled back, shocked that Purple Heart is steadily keeping up with her. She blocked another jab from Purple Heart with her palm. Then as Purple Heart tried again. Green Heart sidestepped a bit, so Purple Heart's arm is in front of her. Then Green Heart uppercuts Purple Heart. By going under Purple Heart's arm and into her jaw. Then Green Heart socked Purple Heart with her other hand.
Purple Heart stumbled back, and they both bounced from side to side like boxers for a second. Trying, at the same time to go for a punch. While Green Heart tried to go for a straight. Purple Heart tilted to the side to give Green Heart's ribs a right quick hook. Both dodging and damaging Green Heart at the same time.
Purple Heart stepped back and gave the back of Green Heart's head a right hook. Then she uppercutted Green Heart, sending her on her back. She transformed back into Vert with a stunned look on her face. Purple Heart turned back into Neptune with a smile on her face.
"Neptune..." Noire said, suprised. With each fight, they get stronger. That's what's so special about the Multi-Platformers. They're rate of growth is much faster than any other adventurer. Because they seek higher dangers to save the world. The exp they've gained combined is more than any other adventurer.
"I suppose you're conviction to have me come back surpasses my desire to run away," Vert said with a melancholic smile. "Will you help us?" Neptune asked. Vert sat up and rubbed her head. "We'll most likely just fight again if I keep resisting. Very well, I shall join you," Vert said and she stood up. She patted the dirt off her dress. She looked at the Multi-Platformers, and smiled at IF.
Vert has joined the party!
The Multi-Platformers began their trek back to Leanbox. With one of their goals complete. A new party member in tow and for IF, a lover.
