"Ah... Urrgh..."
W-Where... is this...?
…
My head... it's aching...
"...ey..."
I don't know what's-
"Hey!"
"Huh?"
Looking up, Nepgear saw two figures that she recognized to be Sōji and Aika looking at her with looks of concern.
"You okay?" The boy asked as he offered his hand.
Taking it, Nepgear shakily stood up until she was upright. "I... I was..."
"You were out cold," Aika said before she gave off a huff of annoyance. "Those suggestive comments must've been too much to hear... I swear I'm gonna get that bimbo back for this...!"
"W-Who?" Nepgear asked with widened eyes.
"What, don't you remember?" Deciding to list off what happened with a raised finger, she continued. "Twirl. The one who was stalking us, and the one responsible for putting that... thing... on your sister's wrist."
"Neptune?!" Nepgear's concern grew exponentially the moment her sister was mentioned, and more memories came flooding back until everything was clear. "W-what happened?! Is she okay?! Where is she?! Oh no, no, no, no, no-!"
"Nepgear!"
"Eh?" Turning around, she was surprised to hear not Aika, but Sōji yell at her.
"Look, let's take a minute to calm down, okay?" He asked with a small smile. "We'll explain everything that happened while you were out, how's that sound?"
Nepgear still wasn't exactly in the best moods, but ultimately decided that this was the only other option she could take.
"Okay. I understand. Please, tell me everything."
Seeing the girl's tone change from visibly shaking to completely at attention, both Aika and Sōji shared a long sigh.
It was going to be a LONG conversation, and they weren't the only ones thinking the same thing.
Neptune's Gonna be the Twin-Tail!
Chapter 1: Tail Purple Appears!
"Hey, hey, could you slow down a bit lady?!"
Not giving the little girl an answer, Twoerle kept on speed walking while holding her hand until she spotted the nearby park that was deemed to be the place to have a... 'chat'.
"Here should be good enough."
Once she let go, Neptune started panting with her hands on her knees. "Haa... geez lady...you think we could've gone slower-"
*SLAP!*
"OW!"
"Just what in the hell were thinking?!"
Taking a moment to rub her check, Neptune glared at the white-haired woman. "Well, for one thing, you calling me a brat! I'm older than I look y'know!"
"You call that an excuse?!" Twoerle argued while pointing at her. "What you did just completely threw my whole plan into a spiraling mess, and all just because of one lousy insult?!
"Exactly just that!" Neptune exclaimed while also pointing a finger at the woman. "No one insults me and gets away with it!"
"You...!" Just before she could make any more arguments, she heard a buzzing sound. "Ah, shoot... I completely forgot the whole reason I did all this..."
"Did what?!" Just as Neptune asked she raised an eyebrow the moment Twoerle took out a small device from her cleavage. "Uh, what's that?"
"Look, you wanted me to explain things right?" With the touch of a single button, a holographic map materialized out of thin air! "Well, it's a little late for that."
"Woah!" Making a complete mood switch, Neptune had sparkles in her eyes. "So cool!"
"Listen up," Twoerle said while taking out a fancy pen before she drew a path onto the map. "I still don't like what you did. However, time is short, so it's best we get a move on."
"Wait, what are you-?"
*FLASH!*
"-doing?" Neptune blinked at how in just a flash of light she and the woman where now near two benches on the top of a hill. "Hold on... how did you-?"
"I think that can be explained in time, but for now just look," Twoerle said while looking over the railing.
"Huh?" Taking a glance, she turned and saw large glass buildings. There were even parked vehicles, an out of place toy store, and a large fountain with people. "Uh, what is this?"
"A heavily crowded area full of people," Twoerle explained before she noticed something... or someone to their right. "And just like I suspected... come on."
"What now?" Neptune turned until she saw the woman holding a young girl with brown hair and... a oddly familiar uniform. "Wait, I recognize her! She's from my class!"
"That's right... and do you notice anything different?" Twoerle asked.
"Something... different?" Neptune wasn't one for being a master of deduction, but there seemed to be one thing that stood out among anything else. "Wait a second... you mean her hair?"
"To be more specific... her twin-tails," Twoerle confirmed before she noticed the girl had started to come to. "Are you alright?"
"W-Where... am I?" The girl weakly asked. "What happened to me?"
"I don't know," Neptune answered with a shrug. "Although... lady. What does this have to do with hair styles, or better yet with twin-tails?!"
"What, me?" The girl asked before smiling. "I'd never wear my hair like that, not even in a million years."
"Huh?" This is caused further confusion for Neptune as she pointed towards her head. "Are you sure? Because at one point I did see you put up your hair like that."
"Nope," the girl answered once more with a smile. "Never in my life have I ever put up my hair into twin-tails."
Neptune's eyes soon became white ovals and her confusion levels had just sky rocked. "Whaaaaa...?"
"You see now?" Twoerle asked before continuing. "She has no memory of the way she did her hair because she was attacked by the Eremerians."
"What the heck is a Evengelion?" Neptune asked while butchering the name.
"Eremerian you moron!"
"I knew that!"
"Grr.." Every single moment with this child felt like a brain tumor to Twoerle, but she needed to press on. "Okay... basically they're monsters that steal people's twin-tail attributes, leaving a girls' love for twin-tails completely wiped from their own memory and personality all together. You got all that?"
"That..." Neptune looked down for a moment before she gave her a blank stare. "... sounds really dumb."
"Oh please, like you'd understand something that could potentially destroy your world..."
"What?!" Neptune reeled back in shock at how something that sounded so stupid could mean the end of the world. "You're... joking right?"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
"Why don't you take a look and find out?" Twoerle asked with a raised eyebrow while looking over the railing.
"Huh?" Neptune looked on only to find herself in shock once she saw a laser fly past her head. "Wah!" Just narrowly missing her, the beam formed itself into a large bubble before disappearing. "What the Nep was that?!"
"You'll see," Twoerle said just as she readied the device for another teleport.
*FLASH!*
Scratching her eyes after another flash of light, Neptune looked around to see they were near the parked cars she saw from the extremely high balcony. From that, she put two and two together.
"Nep Jr. would so fan-girl over seeing that you have a teleportation device," Neptune told the woman with a grin.
"Is that really best thing to be telling me in this situation?" Twoerle said with a frown before looking just passed the cars. "Especially with them causing this mess..."
"Who now?" Looking in the same direction, Neptune gasped when she saw tiny black humanoid like beings shooting with laser bazookas. "What are those tiny black humanoid things doing shooting those laser bazookas?!"
Ignoring the fact that the girl somehow broke through a dimensional barrier for an instant, Twoerle pointed at the panicking civilians running for dear life. "They're targeting the ones with the attributes of the twin-tail, and capturing them so they can consume that energy for themselves."
"That is still really dumb!" Neptune annoyingly muttered before noticing an odd creature of the alien bunch: A lizard man. "Is that a lizard man?"
"Yes," Twoerle answered with a frown. "These are the Eremerians."
More girls started to get consumed in the bubbles before about six or so were brought before the creatures who (oddly enough) held cameras and shotgun microphones. And among the group of Eremerians, the lizard man captain laughed at his success.
"Haha! Yes! At this rate they'll ALL be in our grasp!" Pumping his scaled fist into the air, the reptile laughed in triumphant victory. "Soon, every last twin-tail in the world will be ours for the taking!"
"Yup, he's the bad guy alright," Neptune muttered with a deadpan stare as she looked from behind Twoerle.
"Hmm..." Looking from left to right, the reptilians' eyes narrowed. "She must be here... but where is the question..."
"AUSTIN!"
"Momma!"
"What the?!" Neptune saw a mother desperately trying to save her child from being taken by the bubble, but proved to be insufficient while said child kept calling for said mother.
"What's this?" With a motion of his hand, the bubble flew much faster until the child was right in front of him. Just when the bubble popped did the girl fall into his arms, looking very frightened to say the least.
"Oh crap baskets!" Just what evil things is the mad lizard man going to do to this child?
"Ah!" Looking upon the child's' hair, he felt himself trembling under his own skin. "The mighty power of the twin-tails is formidable... Rrgh... no! I have have a mission that must be fulfilled... no... NO!" Damn it, it's too much! Listen you all! Bring all that here! NOW! "
"MUGI!"
What happened next, after some preparation by the minions, Neptune could never have seen any cheesy movie villain do in a life time.
"Is it just me, or is all these aliens a bunch of nut jobs?" Neptune asked with white oval eyes.
Twoerle left the question unanswered as the mock recording studio that they set up was finished. Complete with overly large cushioned chair with a comically large amount of stuffed animals, and at the same time, the lizard man himself politely put down the child in front of a red carpet!
"Go on, your furry friends want to play," the beast said in the politest manner possible.
The small child only looked with tear stained eyes before a minion started shouting out of nowhere.
"Silence!" The lizard man yelled. "We are at a matter of grave importance!" But just as his minion started spatting out more mumbled sounds in the words of MUGI, his eyes widened. "What's that... the ultimate twin-tail...?"
"What now...?" Neptune muttered before in another moment of shock saw someone she recognized being brought over inside a bubble. "Wait a minute, it's that rich girl!"
Once the bubble reached the ground, it popped and let the student council president drop down while looking around in confusion. But once the young girl saw the lizard man starring back at her, she stood up and glared at it.
"I don't know who you are... or what you want... but you better let her go right now!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that," the lizard man answered.
"But why?!" She exclaimed with widened eyes, tears threatening to leak out. "She's just a little girl, why should she matter to you?!"
"I have my orders and I follow them. Personally, I don't do this sort of thing... but for the greater good it must be done!" Pointing a scaly finger at the blonde girl, his eyes narrowed once more. "That is why I'm going to take away your twin-tail attributes!"
Blinking, the girl once again became confused. "My... twin-tail attributes?"
"Yes, your twin-tail power!" Putting his hands together, electricity started to formed until it expanded into a round, yellow ring field! "Let it be consumed by the sacred ring!"
"This is bad...!" Twoerle muttered to herself before she looked at Neptune with desperate eyes. "Look, I'm not sure if it'll work, but you need to- huh?!"
Standing up, Neptune's hands formed into fists at that was happening. It was so surreal, so strange, but more importantly it was still, in Neptune's words, so stupidly dumb!
Yet, for a moment, she thought back on that pool of pudding... and she smiled.
"Well, guess this is the part where I brave up and save the day, or something like that?" Neptune asked with a smile before looking at her purple bracelet with the gaming symbol. "I don't know why or how, but I feel that this thing can grant me the ability to transform."
"What?!" How on earth did this little girl know she could transform? More importantly, could she even transform?
"I know, sounds weird right?" Neptune grinned before she pumped her fist into the air. "But like any good anime protagonist should know, in moments like these the only things that makes any sense is to believe in yourself!"
With her raised fist, the device shone with a bright light before she brought it to her heart. And as the light expanded, her own body started to change.
"Now then..." Charging up the large ringed contraption, the lizard man launched it right at the young girl. "Your attributes will be mine!"
"No!" Cowering in fear, the student council president, otherwise known as Shino Erina, could only silently pray and hope she would be saved.
*SLASH!*
Answering her request in the form of a vertical line that had just cut through the contraption, she and the lizard man only looked on in shock before the girl felt herself move back at a ridiculous speed.
*BOOM!*
"How in the...?" The reptilian narrowed his eyes at his now destroyed ring before said eyes now widened. "T-This... feeling... where is this massive twin-tail power coming from?!"
"Up here."
"Huh?!"
High in the air, while holding the wide eyed student council president, there was beautiful woman with a even more magnificent pair of twin-tails.
"This... can't be..." No one else could look even more shocked than Tworle herself. This was Neptune? A girl that never showed any signs of any twin-tail attributes, but now had risen to tip the scales from which she, the first warrior of her kind, had ever seen in her whole life. "Neptune... just what are you?"
Shino couldn't believe her eyes! There, holding her, was this purple haired woman with whom she never seen before, looking back at her with calm and comforting eyes.
"Are you alright?" She calmly asked, making the girl blush a little.
"Y-Yeah..." Shino answered making the woman give a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad." Floating down to the surface, the woman gently put her down. "Now, what's your name?"
"M-Me...?" Looking down, the blonde girl became nervous but soon spoke. "S-Shino. Shino... Erina."
Smiling, the woman took the girls hands into her own mechanical ones. "Shino... I want to thank you."
Blinking, the girl blushed once more. "Thank... me? For what?"
"Because of you... because of you of your own wish to be saved, I was able to awaken and heed your call." Looking back toward their scaly advisory, the woman's eyes narrowed. "Now... let me thank you by showing this creep a thing or two about trying to steal ones' compassion for what they love."
"For what I... love?" Shino asked with another blush before the woman let go of her hands and floated away just until she was right in front of the lizard man.
The lizard man could only widened his eyes as he started at her elegant twin-tails. "This... is incredible! This sheer amount of Elémera... you are without a doubt the strongest twin-tail bearer I have ever encountered!"
"How kind of you to say," she started before her eyes narrowed in disgust. "Now, if only you just weren't a twin-tail loving pervert, then there would be no reason for me to be here for all the trouble you've caused everyone."
"Grgh!" The lizard man instantly blushed in anger before he raised an arm. "Everyone! Take her down!"
Seeing all the minions line up in quick succession until it was equivalent to a massive army, the woman sighed as the army started to charge right at her. "Guess there's only one option then." With a flick of her wrist, a light shone before she gripped a fancy looking sword and set herself into a battle ready stance. "Here I come! Take this!"
*SLASH!*
With one single slash a dozen or so minions were cut in half and soon disappeared in a blue light.
As the other minions stopped and slowly started backing away, their leader looked at the warrior with widened eyes. "Magnificent... in just one attack... she took down several of my men! Such unbelievable power...!" Pointing his finger at her, the lizard man continued. "Who are you, twin-tail?!"
"Me?" Grinning to herself, the woman threw her sword into the air in a elegant display before flying and catching it in midair before pointing her weapon down at her enemy. "You can call me, Tail Purple!"
"Excellent... what a fitting name for a such a strong willed twin-tail...!" He was amazed. Never in his entire life time would he ever get to meet such magnificence! "Your will, your determination, that fiery passion to protect those that you love... it's in a level in which the likes no one has witnessed before! You are not just any other kind of twin-tail, you are a goddess!"
"A goddess you say?" She found it oddly familiar to be called that, and smiled as she readied her next attack. "Then let me show you what a goddess can really do!"
"Wha-?!" Just before he could blink, the goddess was right in front of him!
"Cross Combination!" In a series slashes and final kick to the stomach, the lizard man was launched far into the air until he landed on top one of the buildings.
"Rrgh!" Shakily standing up to his feet, the lizard man coughed before he looked up to see the goddess slowly descending not far far in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Tail Purple cockily asked with a raised eyebrow. "Are you not going put up a fight?"
Catching his breath, the lizard man gazed at the woman with smile. "If it's come to this, then I have no other choice... hah!"
Noticing a fast approaching... teddy bear... she narrowed her eyes. "Pitiful." Slashing the stuffed animal without any effort, Tail Purple looked and... found he was gone? "Where'd he...?"
"*Sniff, sniff..."
He got behind me?! Much as to what she thought, she felt her enemy sniff her hair, but opted to elbow said enemy in the gut with a huff.
"Guh... w-worth it...," the pervert alien muttered as he held his stomach.
"While I admire you catching me off guard, you wasted it on petty desires," The warrior scorned with a deadpan stare.
"Y-You can't stop me..." The lizard got up to his feet before he comically brought out more stuffed animals and dolls! "Not until I give out all of these!"
"Are you even listening to me?" Tail Purple only raised an eyebrow before her foes' hands started sparking with electricity once more.
"Prepare yourself... for my ultimate technique!" Launching the stuffed animals and dolls into the air with blue energy, the lizard readied his special attack! "Super Secret Attack Like When A Doll Is Held In the Arms Of A Little Girl And Enjoys The Companionship Of It's Owner – LIGHTNING SPARK!"
After the ridiculously long attack name had formed itself into a rainbow bubble of energy, the woman sighed before readying her own Special Attack. "Alright, looks like it's time I used my own Special Attack as well!" In a hunched over stance, Tail Purple steadied her breath before she widened her eyes.
"Brake Release!"
Bursting with purple energy, her blade expanded it's length until it was three times it's original length!
"Take this!" Throwing his ball of energy towards his opponent, Tail Purple stood her ground before she slashed!
"Dimensional Slice!"
*SHING!*
Getting sliced horizontally, the ball of energy seceded to function as it soon exploded in a ball of light. This only made the lizard man laugh as he looked back at the twin-tailed warrior.
"Ha! You may have bested my best technique, but don't think this is over yet! This battle has only just begu- rrgh?!" Looking down to his chest with bated breath, sparks and a huge yellow gash caught him in complete shock. "Marvelous... in just... o-one attack... you bested me in every way possible..."
"That's what you get for messing with little children," Twin Purple said with a huff.
"Heh... I suppose so...," The lizard man replied with a smile growing on his features. "I thank you for this... because of your tremendous strength... I have finally learned the true beauty and power of twin-tails! Please... I beg of you... in these last moments of my life... could you grace me with one last touch of your twin-tails?"
She blinked with a small blush before she put on a sad smile. "If that is truly your final wish, then it'd be rude of me not to oblige."
"Huh?" Without a second thought, the woman stood in front of the alien with her braided twin-tails raised right in his face. "T-This... is... wonderful!" Not allowing the opportunity to slip by, he slowly stroke his scaly hands over her hair, as if to savor it in these final moments before he died. "N-Now... I can... finally... d-die... in peace..."
*BAM!*
Just as was enjoying the moment, he got an uppercut and was launched in the air.
"All hail the goddess of twin-tails!"
*BOOM!*
The moment their leader exploded, all the little alien minions soon panicked and ran in the other direction.
"Well, guess that's that," Tail Purple muttered before noticing a blue crystal slowly falling from above. "That's... did he drop something?" Taking the crystal into her hands, the magic symbols surrounding it dissipated until it was nothing but a blank blue crystal. "I'm certainly going to have questions for her, but for now..." Tail Purple swiftly jumped before slowly floating back down to where everyone else was.
"Mommy, mommy!" The child from before said with a happy smile while hugging her mother.
"Well, all's well that ends well," Tail Purple said with a smile before noticing familiar faces approaching from the distance. "That's...!"
"Neptune!" It was none other than her own sister, Nepgear, as well as Sōji, Aika, and Tworle not far behind. "Thank goodness your okay!"
"Nepgear... how did you know it was me?" Neptune asked with widened eyes.
"I..." Blinking, Nepgear put a hand to her chin. "That's strange... you look different, but for some reason I knew it was you sis'. Weird..."
"That's Neptune?!" Aika asked before looking back at Twoerle. "So that thing is some kind of transformation thingy, huh? To think you were going to make Sōji wear it...!"
"I thought it to be the best case scenario!" The white-haired woman countered with a glare. "Especially with the boys' love for...!"
"Twin-tails!" Running until he was right in front of Neptune, the boys' eyes sparkled at what his eyes feasted upon. "Neptune, your twin-tails are amazing!
"How kind of you to say Sōji," Neptune said with a confident smile as she held them for all to see. "Yes. These twin-tails are simply-"
*FLASH!*
"-the best!" Groping nothing but air, Neptune blinked before noticing that she had changed back to normal. "Ah man! And here I was about to rub it in Aika's face!"
"Too bad, so sad," Aika said with a confident grin before getting back to the matter at hand. "So, Twoerle... about all of this..."
Taking a moment to realize the situation, Nepgear also chimed in. "Yes... with these aliens, Neptune's transformation, and everything surrounding twin-tails..."
"Yes, yes, I get it...," Twoerle said before sighing. "I take it you're all owed an explanation for all this, but in the case of Neptune even I am having a hard time processing how she was even able to do any of this."
"I think I would have an explanation for all this."
All five soon turned to see another woman approaching them who looked... small to say the least. Being about Neptune's height while wearing a lab coat and glasses, the blonde woman smiled as she approached before immediately catching the attention of the two Nep sisters.
