Last time on Hyperdimension Overclocked, Andrew finally made it out of the Ultradimension and back into the Hyperdimension that he knows well. Now, he's confronting the robot who did all this to him.
Andrew goes for a fast kick at the robot, the robot blocks it and grabs Andrew's leg and spins itself around and then flings Andrew far away from it.
Just as Andrew thought that he was going to fly, someone caught him… "I got you, Andy!"
Andrew turns around and couldn't believe his eyes, "N-Neptune?!" He sees Neptune has caught him in her HDD form.
Neptune smiles, "I thought you didn't stutter in that form." She teases him and she sets him down.
The robot says, "Well, I'm a bit surprised that you snapped out of your trance."
Nepgear flies down near Neptune and Andrew, "It was the power of me and Andy that done it. It's time for you to leave us alone!"
The other girls come out of hiding and joins the group, "That's right!" Rom says. "You are a big meanie and I hate you because you got us crammed in that hideout for days!" Ram shouts at the robot.
Tekken says, "I want to see how far he'll fly if I punched him." She spins an arm around getting ready to land a blow on the robot.
Andrew asks, "So… you got a name, robot, or should I keep calling you that?"
The robot says, "I don't need a name because my purpose is to serve Arfoire and help her take over this dimension and then perhaps hers as well." He points to Plutia.
Plutia replies, "I don't want you to do that… I won't let you."
Andrew asks, "You don't need to transform now, we got this."
The robot says, "It's not going to help you now anyway. I already got more power now that I controlled every single goddess."
Andrew mentions, "But, Neptune is out of your control."
The robot nods, "I know, I already got what I wanted from her, her movesets."
Neptune gasps, "You copied my moves? Those are Nep patented! Only me, my sister and Andy are allowed to learn them!"
The robot says, "They are useful so that my master can get rid of you all once we're done using you."
Andrew shouts, "That's not going to happen!" He charges up his running and zooms at the robot.
The robot warps behind Andrew and kicks him, "I know all your moves as well and can predict them, I am pretty much you." He then picks him up and throws him at a building.
Andrew gets the debris of this fallen building to land on top of him, all crumbling him into a pile that he has the misfortune to be under.
The robot waits for him to get up, this angers the girls as they saw Andrew gets slammed into that building. They ready their weapons ready to strike the robot, completely forgetting the orders that they were told but it doesn't matter to them now.
Well, something comes out of that rubble pile and it is obviously Andrew, he's all right but a bit dirtied up from that dusty collision with that small building, it wasn't really an important one anyway. Andrew replies to the robot's comment, "Breathtaking. I'll shall call you… Metal me."
Andrew usually makes references to things just like everyone else does but nobody didn't realize what it was. The robot replies, "It could work for now, I can be called Metal just so you can stop calling me robot but it won't matter now. I'm done with you all now, on to the next nation!" He tries flying off.
Andrew shouts, "No!" He dashes toward Metal but he just flies away faster than the speed Andrew hopes to achieve. Andrew slams his fist at the ground in anger.
Neptune says, "It's alright now. He has given up this nation, it seems. We are save now."
Andrew sighs and transforms back to normal, "Alright. So, what's next?"
Neptune transforms to normal as well, "How about a small reunion first?" She opens her arms, "Come here, Andy and give me a hug!"
Andrew nods and rushes to hug Neptune, feeling a lot better now, "I missed you, Neptune."
Nepgear tears up, "I can relate, Andy because I miss her, too!" She rushes over and joins the hug.
Everybody else joins in except for Ice. Even Scratch joined but Ice stands there, flippers crossed waiting for it to be over.
Nepgear asks, "You can join in if you want to."
Ice says, "I'm not a fan of close encounters."
Neptune says, "Just like Noire! Maybe, that's because you don't have any friends!"
Ice sighs, "I am friends with Scratch, aren't I?"
Neptune says, "And yet, he has joined our super-duper mega friendship bonding hug of awesomeness!"
Ice pauses for a bit, "That didn't seem to be necessary."
Rom says, "Come on and join us, Ice…" Ram nods, "Yeah! You are like a brother we never had!"
Ice gasps, "B-brother?" Ice's soft side has just opened up from that comment. Ice nods, "Alright." He joins in finally.
The party's morale has been maxed to the maximum as it can get!
After that session is over, Neptune asks Andrew, "So… what's the plan now, Captain Andy?"
Andrew says, "P-plan?"
Neptune nods, "Yep! You are leading us, right?"
Nepgear helps, "Yeah! Come on and lead us!"
Andrew thinks about it, "Right… the plan is to follow the robot… erm, I mean Metal and see where he's going next. And we can fix the CPU he's planning to use."
Rom says, "I want our sister back…" Ram nods, "Me too!"
Uni says, "No fair! Why not my sister? She might congratulate me for snapping her out for all that you know."
Andrew say, "We can only do one at a time unless we split up but if we do that, then Metal could control more of us."
Ice says, "I'll go to Lowee to fix Rom and Ram's sister. You go follow that robot."
Andrew asks, "What if he's in Lowee?"
Ice says, "That's for you to find out."
Andrew nods, "Good point. Alright, I'll let you do this."
Ice says, "Alright, girls, time to transform and head out back to Lowee to get your big sister back."
Rom cheers, "Yay…" Ram says, "You rule, Ice!"
Ice says to Scratch, "We might need you."
Scratch asks, "What for?"
Ice replies vaguely, "You'll find out."
Rom and Ram transforms into their HDD form and Scratch goes airborne and carries Ice with him and they set off to Lowee.
Andrew taps on his watch, "Wait… I can track him?! Sweet, so luckily he's not at Lowee… he's at Leanbox so let's strike him when he's not looking."
Tekken asks, "You mean like an ambush?"
Andrew nods, "Exactly."
Marvy says happily, "Just like what Blanc did to us back at our dimension!"
Andrew nods again, "I'm not sure how all of us is going to get there considering only a few of us can fly. Wait…" He taps his watch again, "We can teleport."
Neptune beams, "That's my Andy! Thinking ahead and using all of your shortcut gadgets on your watch! Hey… why isn't Xelor talking?"
Andrew shrugs, "I don't know… I think he didn't back himself up, so he's probably gone."
Nepgear frowns, "Goodness, no…"
Andrew shakes his head, "There's no time for that. We have to find Metal and Arfoire and stop them. Everyone huddle up together!"
Red takes this another level and says, "You don't have to ask me twice!" She huddles up real close near Blaire.
Andrew says, "Ok… but I meant towards me since I'm the one going to be teleporting you all."
Red says, "But, you're not the one with the amazing funbags, are you?"
Andrew pauses for a moment to collect that, "No… if we don't stop this robot, there won't be any 'funbags' to play with." Andrew can't believe he said that but it was the only way to get Red's attention. "…As he eliminates us all from this world, you won't get your harem." He says this robotically.
Red shouts, "No way that's happening! I guess we have to team up on this one! But, you aren't stealing my wifeys!"
Andrew nods, "OK…"
With that, Red huddles up with Andrew and so does everyone else with Neptune obviously being the closest one to him being her and all. "Everybody, ready?" Andrew asks.
Everyone replies, "Ready!"
Andrew nods and presses on his screen and teleports them all to Leanbox to defeat this robot and restore Leanbox to its former self.
Meanwhile… Ice, Scratch and the twins are made it to Lowee to start their restoration here. They confront Blanc. Rom shouts, "Sis…!"
Scratch asks, "What am I doing here?"
Ice smiles, "Glad you asked! Since you are the only one being able to withstand one of her blows sort of unscathed, you are hereby giving the honor to piss her off out of her trance."
Scratch's eyes widens, "What?! How is pissing her off going to get her out of her trance?"
Ice explains, "Well, they are behaving like robots so knowing that robots don't have emotions… most of them. Pissing her off will bring the old her back to us."
Ram cheers, "That's our penguin brother!" Rom tells Scratch, "Go piss her off for us, Mr. Scratch."
Scratch sweatdrops, "Ok… what do I do to piss her off?"
Ice thinks about it, "No idea… aren't you the media jocky cat here or something? You can think of it."
Scratch thinks for a moment, "I'll wing it." He flies over to Blanc, "Hey, Blanc! Look at me!"
Blanc looks over to Scratch with a lifeless expression on her face.
Scratch makes a face at her, "I bet you can't hit me with that axe, you childish CPU!"
Blanc swings her axe at Scratch, "Tanzerin Trombe!" She uses her specials right at Scratch trying to hit him.
Scratch flies out of the way, "Wow! What an original attack! Not! I've seen green elves that can do a better attack than that with better accuracy."
Blanc growls and tries it again, Scratch dodges it again.
Ram says, "I didn't know that Scratch can dodge so easily."
Ice says, "Yeah… only when he's taunting, though. He usually loves to be the distraction when we fight foes together and I go and attack from behind. It works out for us most of the time."
Scratch finishes it off with the best insult he can think of, "That's the best you can do? Only a girl would have had a weak attack like that but I shouldn't even say something like that because you look like a boy judging how miniscule your boobs are! Ha ha!"
That worked all right, Blanc's eyes glow red and she has sharp teeth with her face covered by dark shadows, "You'll pay for that, you pussy!" She tightens her axe and it blazes with fire and she shouts her special once again in an angered tone, "Tanzerin Trombe!" She spins very fast and it give Scratch the cue to fly away.
Scratch sweatdrops, "Yep! I'm out of here!" He flies away.
Blanc shouts, "You're not going anywhere, you little prick!" She throws her axe at Scratch and hangs him by his hood against one of the buildings, "Oh… how much fun I'll have beating the shit out of you…" She bashes her fist on her palm.
Scratch sweatdrops a lot, "I-I-I… it was Ice's idea!"
Blanc doesn't believe him, "He wouldn't do that! I trust him with my sisters!"
Ice nods, "Yep, she's back."
Rom and Ram runs to their sister, "Sis!" Ram says. "You're back!" Rom says finishing their sentence.
Blanc is surprised to see them, "Rom… Ram… what happened?"
Rom says, "It was scary, this meanie robot mind controlled you and we didn't know how to bring you out of it." Ram says, "It was until Andy came back and told us how to do. That inspired Ice to bring you back as well."
Blanc looks at Ice, "And what did you do exactly?"
Ice says, "I might have used Scratch to tell insults to you thinking that it might have worked which it did."
Blanc nods, "I see… you had no choice. It worked so I have no means of killing you."
Ice eyes widens, "What?"
Blanc shakes her head, "I was talking about Scratch when I said that."
Scratch's eyes widens, "I-I-I didn't mean that! I think you are an awesome CPU and not childish at all! I love Lowee! Yeah!"
Blanc says, "You're damn right I'm awesome!" She grabs her weapon and returns back to normal, "What about Andy and the others?"
Ice says, "They are in Leanbox to fight the robot and restore Vert as well."
Blanc nods, "I see, I need to bring Lowee back to normal from this chaos. Will you two be able to help them while I do this? I'll join you when I have everything settled here."
Rom nods, "You can count on us…" Ram nods with her, "Yeah! We'll stop this bully!"
Blanc looks at Ice, "Take care of them. Tell Andy to do the same."
Ice nods, "I'll do that."
Scratch takes a moment to recollect himself, "What did you make me do? I almost got decapitated."
Blanc tells Scratch, "I was going to just beat you senseless with my fists until you apologized. It looked like I didn't have to, though."
Scratch says, "Oh. You're pretty scary, you know that?"
Blanc close her eyes and doesn't say anything to that and turns to Ice and her sisters, "Have a safe travel, guys."
Rom and Ram transforms, "We will!"
Scratch flies and carries Ice with him, "Ok!"
They meet up with Andrew and his group in Leanbox. They are looking for Vert in Leanbox, Neptune asks, "So, what's the plan to bring Verty back? I'm not sure the same trick will work for her."
Andrew strokes his chin, "That's a good point. I'm sure that we can think of something."
They meet up with Chika who was at Leanbox the whole time, "Guys! I have a hard time controlling Vert!"
Andrew asks, "Do you know where Metal is? I need to have a serious talk with that robot."
Chika shakes her head, "I don't even know where Vert is. I spent a long time looking for her and the citizens told me that she's bringing chaos to her own nation."
Nepgear shouts, "He has gone too far! The people didn't need to suffer, too."
Andrew gets an idea, "Hey… I think I figured out how to bring Vert back." He looks at Nepgear.
Nepgear looks at Andrew confused, "Huh? Why are you looking at me for?"
Neptune says, "Are you going to use my sister as some sort of bait toy? For shame, Andy!"
Andrew shakes his head, "No… Nepgear is just going to try to talk to her out of the trance like I did for you. She would never to try to hurt her, right? It'll work."
Neptune nods, "Well, fine. But, I better not see her doing anything lewd with her, alright?"
Andrew replies, "No, I'll make sure that won't happen." He turns to Nepgear, "Can you please do this for us? It'll work, I'm sure of it."
Nepgear nods, "I'll do my best!"
IF mentions, "We still have to find her and it's not going to be an easy task since Leanbox is such a large nation."
Neptune says, "Nah… it's always convenient that she'll show up without us moving a single inch!"
Andrew says, "I'm not sure if it's like that… we could have the CPUs fly over and track down Vert."
Uni nods, "There we go! An honest good idea!" She transforms, "The sooner that we find Vert, the sooner that we help my sister as well!" She goes ahead and goes off before everyone else.
Nepgear says smiling nervously, "There she goes…"
Andrew sighs, "Damn it, Uni… I didn't even give you the signal for you to go yet."
Nepgear says, "Should I follow her to see if she doesn't meet up with the robot?"
Andrew nods, "Yeah, but I don't want him to get you, too."
Neptune says, "You want me to help her, too?"
Andrew shakes his head, "No, I… don't know." He gets worked up from the pressure of being a leader.
Neptune shouts, "Oh no… you're steaming! Is there anything I can do to help you, Andy?!"
Andrew takes a deep breath and exhale, "I'm fine… I'll just keep it simple as to let you all go and watch each other and let me know if you see Metal."
Neptune nods, "Got it!" She transforms, "What signal should I give you?"
Andrew scratches his head, "I don't know… I guess just report back to me or something."
Neptune nods, "Will do! Let's go, Nep Jr.!"
Nepgear transforms, "Alright!"
The Neps flies off. Rom and Ram eagerly wait for their orders.
Andrew says, "You can go, too."
Rom and Ram transforms, "Yay!" Rom picks up Ice.
Ice asks, "Why am I going?"
Ram says, "Didn't you hear our sister? You have to come with us! And you can power up our ice coffin if we come into trouble."
Ice sighs, "Alright, then."
The twins head off plus a penguin.
Plutia twirls her hair and asks, "What about me?"
Andrew says, "I don't know… um… why do you ask?"
Plutia says, "I don't like sitting out in the sidelines like this and you never told me why you don't want me to help."
Andrew says, "If I told you, it just wouldn't help."
Red asks, "What's the matter? Why don't you let her do her thing? Some wifey collector you are!"
Andrew tells Red, "That doesn't help me much."
Tekken says, "She must feel really bad that she isn't helping you as much as you are helping her and you are denying her help completely."
Andrew gasps, "You're right…"
Plutia walks over to Andrew, "Well…"
Andrew thinks really hard about this, "I'll let you help."
Plutia cheers, "Yay! I'll transform right away!" She transforms.
Andrew puts his hands together praying, "Please act normal, please, please, please…"
Plutia says, "About time you let me transform, Andy!"
Andrew sweatdrops, "Yeah… I'm sorry."
Plutia says smiling, "Are you afraid of me that much?"
Andrew chuckles, "You figured that out, huh?"
Plutia says, "You disappoint me, Andy. I thought you would have trusted me by now. Unfortunately, we got some bigger threats and annoyance to deal with so I have to punish you later."
Andrew chuckles nervously, "Y-yeah…"
Scratch asks, "Um… what CPU is this? I never seen her before."
Andrew says, "She's Iris Heart, the CPU of Planeptune from the dimension I disappeared in."
Red says, "Wow! You picked up a real wifey, Andy! I'm jealous!"
Andrew says, "Um… yeah."
Red says, "I need to try harder to beat you!"
Plutia says, "Should we be going, Andy unless you want Metal to take over the world?"
Andrew asks, "Wait… I'm going with you?"
Plutia nods, "Of course. I don't want anything to happen to my servant, right? I also need you to watch over me and protect me." She picks up Andrew, "Refrain from grabbing my boobs when we are flying, ok?" She flies off.
Tekken says, "W-what do you think you're doing with our boss?"
Marvy asks, "What do we do now?"
IF says, "You can go along and search for Vert on the ground."
Marvy nods, "I'll search on top of the buildings! I am a ninja after all!" She quickly dashes off to a building and makes her ascend, "Come on, Tekken! We need to follow Andy as well!"
Tekken says, "Fighters like myself aren't that good with agility. We are much known for our strength."
Marvy comes back for Tekken and says, "Not with that attitude! Come on!" She helps Tekken climb the building with her.
Blaire decides, "Perhaps, I should go and lend a hand for my chaps. Come, Bree!"
Blaire's phoenix friend flies towards the sky, she spins around in fast rotations and becomes a fiery inferno. After a burst of fire, Bree becomes bigger, big enough to ride and lands down again besides Blaire and she mounts her, "Anybody else coming?"
IF asks, "That's safe if we ride it, right?"
Red's eye glitters, "No way… that's so cool! I wish my dragon could do that! Can I ride it with you?"
Blaire nods, "Sure, mate!"
Red cheers, "Yay!" She runs up to the phoenix and mounts it as well, "Let's go, my fantastic wifey!" She wraps her arms around Blaire, of course she's cupping a feel of her breasts.
Blaire blushes, "Alright, then…" Bree takes off to the skies.
IF sighs, "Well… Compa, it looks like we are the only ones to look on foot."
Compa nods, "Yes, but Mr. Kitty is still with us."
Scratch say, "I'll stay with you two, I'm kind of sick of flying around anyway."
IF nods, "Let's go, guys!"
With that, they set off. Each of them going in a different path, they'll be ok, right?
Well… Andrew and Plutia are still looking for Metal or Vert… but Neptune and Nepgear found Vert, "Hey! There's Vert! Go use some of that Nepgear charm, sis!"
Nepgear nods but replies nervously, "Yeah…" She flies down near Vert, "Vert… remember me? I'm Nepgear."
Vert looks at Nepgear and begins attacking with rapid jabs with her spear, normal attacks this time instead of specials like with Blanc.
Neptune tries dodging as well, "She's awfully resistive to your charms. You better turn it up more."
Nepgear nods, "I'm Nepgear, Vert! You must remember! You're… big sister Vert!"
That actually got a bit of her out as Vert is trying to fight back.
Neptune sees this, "It's working! Keep at it, Nepgear!"
Nepgear nods and flies towards Vert while she's trying to attack her, "We need you, your nation needs you, Andy needs you and most importantly…"
Just before Nepgear could finish, Chika comes by out of nowhere and embraces Vert from behind in a hug, "Your oracle needs you, my goddess Vert!"
Chika brings Vert down to the ground level, how she was able to reach Vert is a mystery. Neptune and Nepgear follows her and when they reach the ground themselves, they transform back to normal.
Andrew and Plutia catches up and he asks, "What did we miss?"
Neptune says, "You're just in time, Andy!"
The others catch up as well, IF asks, "What's going on?"
Red says, "It looks like she's going to do something to her wifey."
Chika blushes, "Something like that." She turns around Vert and says, "Remember your nation, Vert. Remember… me." She then kisses Vert which surprises everyone but it surprises Andrew the most.
Andrew says, "Oh… my god." His nose begins bleeding for some reason.
Red exclaims, "Lucky!"
Ice turns around and says, "That's it! I'm done!"
Scratch asks, "What's the matter?"
Ice says, "Nothing, I'm perfectly fine!" He's obviously isn't and walks away from the crowd.
Rom asks, "Ice…?" The twins rushes towards Ice to check up on him.
Neptune says, "Well… I knew the whole time that Chika had some feelings for Vert!"
Andrew says, "So… is this why? This dimension sometimes…"
Neptune points out, "But your nose…"
Andrew feels it and looks at his hand, "Not again…" He wipes it off.
Chika stops kissing Vert and gives her a moment to see if it works.
Vert asks, "What's going on? Why am I doing outside instead of doing a dungeon raid?"
Nepgear exclaims, "Vert's back!"
Metal shows up, "Well done. You've done it again, GPU and company."
Andrew asks, "You want us to do this?"
Metal says, "We already got what we wanted for them so you could restore them if you wanted to. It's not going to do you any good."
Andrew mentions, "What if we restore them all and that makes you have a less of a chance defeating us?"
Metal says, "No, that's not happening. You don't know what we're planning. I'll meet you all to our lair, bring Black Heart with you and get ready for our final showdown." He flies away.
Plutia says, "I wanted to punish him for what he did to us."
Andrew nods, "Me too. But, once we are all gathered, we can do that."
Neptune says, "He has a weird plan… he wants all of us to show up and is giving us time to get Noire back. Doesn't that sound suspicious?"
IF says, "It's probably a trap."
Andrew nods, "Yeah, so… are we ready to go?"
Uni shouts, "Hell yeah! I want to have the honor of rescuing my sister!" She goes off on her own.
Andrew shouts, "Uni! Damn it! Well… let's catch up to her."
IF says, "Well… we need to give Ice a bit to calm down."
Vert asks, "Oh my… what happened to the little penguin?"
Andrew says, "He saw something that he didn't want to see."
Rom and Ram returns, "We got him!" The both exclaims.
Ice says, "I'm good now… for the most part."
Chika says proudly, "I guess it was too much for the little penguin to handle."
Andrew says, "Yeah… can we go now? I don't want Uni to get ambushed. Who knows if that robot is telling the truth."
With that… all of Andrew's party set off to Lastation in the only way that's the best… teleporting!
Well… here I close this chapter. We'll see Lastation and see how they can bring back Noire. Let's find out next time!
