Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Compile Heart, Idea Factory, Sega and whomever else worked on it.
Oh goodie, a long one.
"Are you sure you can trust that information?" Histoire asked as she floated into the lab while Nepgear worked on a remote control.
Nepgear stopped what she was doing and sighed, her shoulders slumping. "No, I can't. I have no clue if it's legitimate, a trap or what." She looked at the miniature book fairy. "But it's all I have, and it's the only hope Neptune has."
Histoire looked at her sadly. "If there's anything I can do to help, please, let me know."
Nepgear nodded at her. "Just make sure that I stop to get some food and sleep, okay?" She went back to working on the remote and Histoire turned and floated away silently.
Stopping at the door, she turned and looked back at Nepgear. 'You've changed so much in the few years you've been here.' Then again, so had the others. 'To think, two sisters from another dimension could cause such changes in this world.' Even if she hated how Neptune was almost as lazy as Plutia, at least the elder sister had not only stopped crisis that were happening in every nation, but she had brought the leaders of those nations together as friends. 'And without the need to fight a war like in her world.'

In another part of the Basilicom...
"Will this really help Peashy?" Compa, now ten years old, and just entering puberty, asked as she looked at the item that Plutia had her dig up.
"I dunno if it will, but if we can help her and Nep-ko, then I'm all for it!" IF, also ten years old, said, fire in her eyes. "After we save them, can we help kick the bad guy's butt, Lady Plutia?"
Plutia smiled at the two as she gathered up some items of her own. "We have a couple of days, so... Do you two want to get stronger to fight?" Both girls looked at her, eyes wide. "If you do... There's a bunch of monsters in the caves nearby that need to go splat."
"YEAH!" Both girls cheered as they quickly ran to get the items they'd need to fight with.
Plutia smiled as she watched them run off. She wouldn't have them fight against either Yellow Heart or Purple Heart, but if they could get a bit stronger so they wouldn't get killed by accident, that was worth it.
Besides, she was curious about something with those two.
(-)
A few hours later...
"Wow!" Plutia clapped her hands as she watched IF and Compa take down the last of the Kupokitties and Shampurus. "You two got really strong, huh?" The only time Plutia had stepped in was when they had accidentally ran into a really strong Shampuru. While the rabbit-looking monsters didn't look any different between the different forms, she knew the Tough Shampuru was quite a bit stronger than the others in this dungeon.
"Yeah..." IF nodded, sweat on her body. She looked at her hands as they trembled. 'What's going on? I feel like there's something in me trying to burst out into flames and consume everything.'
Compa, on the other hand, seemed rather normal, she wasn't sweating in the slightest. "This is so much fun, Iffy! Thank you, Ploo Ploo!"
Plutia smiled and turned to walk back. "Well now, we can..."
"AHHH!" The girls let out a scream and Plutia spun around to see five Shampuru had suddenly respawned in front of the girls and had engaged in a battle with them.
"It's okay, girls, just..." Plutia trailed off as she noticed something off with the two girls. "What's going on?" Plutia frowned in confusion.
IF's head was hanging down, her brown hair covering her eyes as she trembled. "I'm sweating, I stink, I'm hungry and you jerks just HAD TO GET IN MY WAY!"
"They're just a bunch of meanies!" Compa yelled, an angry frown on her face.
Plutia's eyes widened in surprise as the two were engulfed in light. "Whaaaaaaa?!"
When the light ended, IF's blue outfit had changed colors, her blue jacket becoming red, her socks gaining red flame designs on them, her over-alls becoming pitch black with a flame design in the middle, even her bow had become a bright red! But that wasn't the most shocking thing to Plutia, IF's eyes had turned red and her hair was a mix of blonde and red.
Compa's hair had turned blue while her eyes became green. Her pink coat turned a light blue while the darker parts had become a deep blue in color and there were snowflake designs on Compa's back and shirt.
"I wanna go home and rest so I can help Nep-ko!" IF yelled as she rushed forward, moving at much faster speeds than Plutia had seen her move before, her katars glowing as she cut through several Shampuru with ease, turning them into data.
The remaining Shampuru ran at Compa, who had a syringe in each hand, both filled with a blue liquid. One syringe splashed the liquid forward, covering the bunny monster and slowing it down before she stabbed forward with the other one and Plutia watched, in morbid fascination, as the Shampuru started to bubble and expand before exploding into data in a most gruesome manner.
"Woooow!" Plutia clapped her hands as she ran up to them. "When did you two become CPUs?" She blinked in confusion as she noticed that one, neither of them had wings and two, their eyes were still normal, if just different colors.
"Huh?" Both girls asked at the same time before turning to look at each other. "HUH?!" They yelled in shock and jumped back, pointing at each other.
"Iffy! Why is your hair red and yellow? Why are your eyes red?!"
"Forget about me!" IF retorted and pointed at Compa. "Why is your hair blue and your eyes green?"
Before either one could answer, there was a flash of light and both girls had returned to normal before slumping down, exhausted.
"Huh, I guess that's it then." Plutia said as she picked up the girls and carried them home. 'But that felt like they went HDD, but they didn't. What was that?' She didn't know and would have to ask the others if they knew anything about this.
(-)
Later, at the Basilicom...
"Wait, what?!" Noire, Vert, Blanc and Nepgear all yelled at the same time as they looked at IF and Compa, who had recovered on the trip back home.
"Uh huh..." Plutia nodded as she watched the two eat in ways that wouldn't be out of place if it was Neptune. "They got covered in light and then changed colors and had new moves."
"Are they CPUs?" Blanc asked in confusion. Her confusion only increased as Plutia shook her head. "What do you mean?"
"Well..." Plutia tapped her chin. "They didn't have wings and their eyes didn't have a power symbol in them."
Histoire floated over to the two girls. "Excuse me, girls." She smiled as they stopped eating and looked up at Histoire. "We're having a hard time believing Plutia when she says you two achieved a status similar to a CPU when you fought against Shampurus... Could you show us what you did?"
"Um..." The two girls looked at each other in confusion.
"I don't know how I did it." IF said and rubbed the back of her head. "I just..."
"IF..." Nepgear said and walked up to her. Kneeling in front of the small girl, she smiled at her. "Was there anything that felt like a surge of power inside of you?" IF's eyes widened and she nodded. "Okay, if you felt that, just remember what it felt like and try to use it again."
"You mean like this, Ge-Ge?" Compa asked as there was a flash of light, causing Nepgear to fall on her butt and the other CPUs to jerk in surprise as the girl's coloration had changed, her hair had turned blue, her eyes green and her outfit had changed not only colors, but there were snowflakes on her outfit.
"Oh! That!" IF said as she was engulfed in light and when it was over, her eyes, leafy bow and the blue parts of her outfit had turned red, her overalls had turned black with red flames and her hair was a yellow-red color.
"See?" Plutia clapped as the CPUs gawked at the children.
"Hmm..." Histoire flew around the two girls, scanning them. "Most interesting. They are using shares, but it's different from you girls."
"How so?" Nepgear asked, wondering how this was going on.
"Well, if I had to put in a term..." Histoire tapped her chin. "I'd say the best way to describe this is self-sustaining share energy."
"For those of us who have no idea what you're talking about," Noire spoke up, "could you explain it in easier terms?" She ignored how Blanc and Vert both snickered at her.
"Well," Histoire looked at Noire and then at the kids before nodding. "You only have share energy because of your CPU memory that you absorbed. Because of that, you're now a CPU, but you need the faith of people around you to transform and maintain your power." Noire nodded, she knew that. "IF and Compa, however, have no CPU Memory in them, but they're producing share energy that they can use to transform."
"But how?" Blanc asked as the two girls transformed back to normal, looking a bit tired. "They aren't CPUs are they?"
"No." Histoire shook her head. "They have a power boost similar to you when you go HDD, but they don't have anything that makes them a CPU."
"That doesn't make any sense." Vert said as she looked at the girls. "Are you sure that they didn't consume a CPU Memory?"
"Um..." Plutia's eyes widened as she realized something. "Maaaaybe I'm wrong buuuuut..."
"What?" Nepgear asked as she got up and looked at Plutia. "Did something occur to you?"
"Well..." Plutia tapped her cheek and tilted her head. "No girl has ever been able to do this before, outside of CPUs, riiiiight?" Everyone nodded, that was common knowledge. "Weeeelll... Noire, Blanc, Histy... Do you remember when we first got Iffy, Compa and Peashy?"
"I remember being surprised you had kids suddenly." Noire muttered, a pouty look on her face.
"I remember everyone freaking out when they wanted breast milk..." Blanc said, before she, Noire and Histoire's eyes all went white and blank with black circles around them.
"EEEEEEH?!" The three yelled at the same time.
"Uh huh!" Plutia nodded, smiling and clapping her hands together. "Neppy took Peashy and transformed and used her shares to make her boobies produce milk and Peashy, Iffy and Compa fed on that for a few years."
"Oh yeah, they were still breastfeeding after I came here, weren't they?" Nepgear muttered, remembering how strange it had been to walk in on Neptune in HDD feeding the three little ones. "Wait, she used shares?!" Nepgear asked, shock in her voice as the other CPUs, other than Vert, all nodded. Nepgear got up and started to pace back and forth as she worked it out in her head. "That explains everything then. If they were all drinking milk that was derived from share energy, then they'd be absorbing shares from a CPU and since they fed on her several times a day for a few years..."
"I'm not a vampire!" IF pouted at everyone. "I didn't eat Nep-ko!"
Nepgear giggled softly. "No, you just drank the milk from her boobs when you were a tiny baby."
"Oh." IF said as Compa giggled at her.
"So..." Noire felt her eyes twitching. "Neptune's brilliant plan to feed three babies ended up with two of those babies gaining super powers and the third one becoming a CPU?"
"Sounds like something that only she could do." Vert said, laughing softly as Blanc nodded.
Nepgear giggled at that. "Well, that's Neptune for you, routinely doing the impossible and kicking reason to the curb." For some reason, she really wanted to attach a drill to her sister's arm, but she wasn't sure why. 'Still...' She thought about this and realized that IF, Compa and Peashy really were her nieces thanks to Neptune's actions.
"It's a good thing that this wasn't something well-known ahead of time." Blanc muttered softly, causing everyone to look at her. She gave Vert a sharp look. "With those milk jugs on you, if you had waited a few years, you'd have an army of super powered kids when you fought against us."
Vert twitched while giving her a tight smile. "At least I could feed an army. If you tried to do what Neptune did, there'd be an epidemic of starving babies."
Nepgear sighed and gave the two of them an annoyed look. "The way you two act, it's almost like a Tsundere and her lover."
"Reaaaaaally?" Plutia asked, a pout coming to her face. "Blanc is in love with Vert?"
Vert and Blanc both stiffened at that, their faces turned bright red. "WE ARE NOT LOVERS!" They yelled at Nepgear at the same time.
"I could easily see it." Noire smirked at the two as they rounded on her. "The two granny CPUs hooking up and doing lewd things with their wrinkly and oatmeal-like bodies..."
"You went too far." Vert muttered as a spear formed in her hands.
"And that's something Neptune would say." Blanc growled, a hammer forming in her hands while her eyes went red.
There was a flash of light and the three CPUs stiffened in fear as they heard a familiar chuckling.
"Oh my... It seems that you three need a demonstration." Iris Heart purred as she tapped her sword on an open palm, "about what NOT to do in my home!" Actual anger creeped into her voice as Histoire, Nepgear, IF and Compa all immediately fled the room. "And since it's just us..." A nasty grin came to her face. "How about I give you the Neppy Jr. special?"
The three trembled and huddled close to each other, their eyes blank, white and filling with tears.
"NOOOOOO!" The three cried out at the same time.
(-)
Several hours later...
"PHEW!" Plutia was smiling brightly as she walked out of the room, her face flushed softly. "That felt soooooo good!"
"Um, Plutia..." Nepgear gulped softly. "Are they alive?"
Plutia blinked and nodded. "Uh huh... They're all alive. But now I need to go and change my underwear and take a bath, I'm all sticky..."
After Plutia left, Compa tugged on Nepgear's sleeve. "Why is Ploo Ploo all sticky?"
Nepgear giggled softly and wondered how to explain Plutia's sadism to a young girl. "Um, well... You know how Plutia turns into Iris Heart and people get scared of her?" Compa nodded, knowing IF was terrified of Iris Heart, not that Compa understood, she thought Iris Heart was pretty cool and awesome, but she knew enough not to get on Iris Heart's bad side. "They get scared because sometimes Iris Heart not only gets mad and punishes them, but she sometimes gets covered in sticky stuff and it's really bad when she's really covered in it."
Compa blinked, not really understanding, but she nodded. "So, if Ploo Ploo gets super sticky, it's bad?" Nepgear nodded. "Oh, okay..." She turned and walked off, causing Nepgear to sigh.
'I sure hope she doesn't get weird ideas about this.' Nepgear supposed that Compa was starting to get to the age where she would be curious about adult stuff, but she didn't know how to explain it in the slightest.
(-)
A couple of days later...
"So we're ready then?" Nepgear asked as she, Noire, Vert, Blanc, Plutia, IF and Compa, the latter two had some cotton bags on their arms full of stuff for some reason, stood in a forest near Eden's main base.
"Yeah." Noire nodded at her. "Vert, Blanc and I will sneak in and try to find the device that's siphoning all the shares of Gamindustri into Eden while you four stay out here to confront Neptune and Peashy." She had a disturbed look on her face. "Are you sure about this?" Noire looked at Plutia, who had IF and Compa next to her.
"Don't worry, Noire." Plutia smiled at her. "Iffy and Compa have been doing lots of monster killing quests and have gotten REALLY strong now."
"In only a couple of days?" Vert raised an eyebrow. "I don't know if you know this, Plutia, while the world has some video game logic, I don't think it runs on RPG logic."
Plutia blinked a few times. "It doesn't? That stinks. Well, that's okay, I'm sure Iffy and Compa will be fine. Besides, they won't fight Yellow Heart, I will."
Nepgear looked at Vert, Blanc and Noire. "Listen, if you stop the shares being drained into Eden, that should weaken Neptune and Peashy enough for Plutia and I to win."
"Are you stronger than your sister?" Blanc asked her.
Nepgear closed her eyes, took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Yes and no. I've done things she can't do, but I know that if it came down to it, when the chips are down, she can pull through in ways that I can't." She opened her eyes and looked Blanc right in hers. "But that's not why I know that I can win. That's not my sister who's fighting us. That's a phantom of the past that's using my sister's body." She balled her hands into fists. "This isn't the first time I've had to save my sister, it probably won't be the last time either, but either way, I'm going to save her now and every time she's in trouble."
Blanc smiled at her. "Good luck."
"Let's just hope Mr. Badd got those monsters out of there." Vert shivered, not wanting to face them again.
"Right, let's go!" Noire yelled as she, Blanc and Vert rushed inside.
Plutia and Nepgear waited a moment before transforming into their HDD forms. Nepgear charged up an energy blast before firing it at the base, causing the alarms to raise and hopefully draw Neptune and Peashy out. A few moments later and both Purple and Yellow Heart came rushing out to meet them.
"Only you two?" Purple Heart asked as she narrowed her eyes. "I'm almost disappointed." She looked down and saw IF and Compa, who were both looking at her in fright. "Unless you're going to make children fight."
Purple Sister floated forward. "No, I'm your opponent. You leave everyone else alone."
"And I'll fight you, Yellow Heart," Iris Heart smirked as she held her sword to the side.
"Eh?" Yellow Heart blinked and tilted her head. "But you aren't that strong." She grinned and rushed forward. "But if you want me to hurt you, I can do that too!"
Purple Heart ignored the two as they started to fight and focused on Purple Sister. "Fine, but this will be the last time. When you lose here, you won't leave."
"I won't lose, big sister." Purple Sister said, a determined look on her face. "I refuse to lose!"
Purple Heart twitched slightly before snarling and rushing down at Purple Sister, their swords clashing.
(-)
Meanwhile, inside the base...
"What am I doing?" A frightened voice was heard as feet shuffled along the floor. "I don't like CPUs, sure, but why am I doing that to her?" Suddenly the person stopped and a laugh was heard. "Oh yeah, because I hate her and everything about her, she can suffer and rot for all I care." There was a banging noise as the person turned to the nearest wall and started slamming her head against it. "No! It's not right! I shouldn't be..."
"Man, if I had known you would have turned into such a mess I would have taken all your power instead of leaving you with a little bit of it." A new voice spoke up and the person in the room spun to see a dark skinned, blonde fairy sitting on a book grinning at her. "Heya, Rei, enjoying bringing this world to near ruin?"
"You?" Rei gasped, her eyes wide. "Croire! What are you doing here? I thought I told you to take all my power!"
"Yeah..." Croire nodded at her. "But I thought if I left you some that things might be more interesting." A wide grin split her face as she looked at Rei. "It looks like I was right! Your two CPUs are super powered, sure, but since you're here, you're also siphoning like half of the shares into yourself."
"No wonder it feels like my old self is coming back." Rei muttered in anger as she glared at the fairy. "So now what?"
"Now?" Croire's grin turned nasty and Rei let out a scream as she felt the remainder of her power get ripped away from her. "I'm taking this and giving it to your other self. She's been making a mess of the Hyper Dimension. Good thing you had two share suction machines made, she's been making good use of it in the Hyper Dimension. Those other CPUs sure aren't anything when their shares get sucked out." Croire laughed as black energy surrounded by sparkles and a multi-colored glow came out of Rei, causing her to fall to the ground, panting and trembling. "It's kind of too bad. Oh well, I wonder if she'll kill them, have them executed, humiliate them before ending them or do something lewd and perverted." Croire rubbed her hands together gleefully as a purple portal opened behind her. "Oh well, time to go!"
Rei could only watch as Croire disappeared through the portal before she slumped down, passing out.
(-)
Elsewhere...
"Think this is it?" Vert asked as she looked at a rather complicated machine.
"I feel shares..." Blanc muttered. "Let's smash it."
"Works for me." Noire said as the three transformed into their HDD forms. "Let's go!" Black Heart grinned as she pulled out her large sword.
Green Heart smirked as wind spun around the tip of her spear. "This shall be fun." Her large breasts bounced as she felt her excitment increasing.
(-)
Outside...
Iris Heart grimaced as she parried Yellow Heart's attacks. "You always were a strong child, Peashy." She whispered before flipping backwards and rushing forward. "But naughty girls need spankings!" Iris Heart whipped her sword over and over again on Yellow Heart, who tried to block the attacks, only to find that her arms were knocked out of position by Iris Heart's relentless attacks before the sadistic CPU kicked her in the gut, causing her to double over and cough. Yellow Heart looked up, only to find Iris Heart's heel dropping down on the top of her head and sending her crashing to the ground below. "Now..." Iris Heart grinned as a ball of electricity formed in front of her. "Thunderblade kiss!" She swung her sword down, sending the ball of electrical energy crashing down on Yellow Heart, who cried out in pain as lightning crackled over her body. "Oh, don't worry, I'll make the pain feel really good..." Smirking, Iris Heart blew a kiss forward and the ball of energy erupted.
On the ground Yellow Heart was on her back, twitching, smoking and her processor was badly torn to the point of almost falling off as parts of her breasts, stomach, thighs and butt were all exposed, though there was still enough material on her body to keep from being obscene. "Owwies!" Yellow Heart suddenly sat up, pouting at Iris Heart. "That was mean!"
Running a hand through her large mane of hair, Iris Heart chuckled softly. "I'm sorry, dear, but I'm not in a mood to play."
Yellow Heart pouted before rushing up at Iris Heart.
(-)
While Yellow Heart and Iris Heart fought, the Planeptune sisters were battling across the sky of Eden.
"Thirty-Two Bit Mega Blade!" Purple Heart called out as she flew backwards and spun around in mid-air, spinning and swinging her sword forward, launching several swords at Purple Sister. Purple Heart felt an odd feeling of pride in her chest as Purple Sister fired multiple blasts, shattering the blades and then rushing in so that their swords met with a clash of metal. "You're pretty good."
"I have to be." Purple Sister said as she pushed her blade against Purple Heart's. "Because my sister's life depends on me being good."
Purple Heart jerked softly. "Sis...ter?"
"Yes!" Purple Sister had a look of determination on her face. "My sister needs help and even if she's the older one and even if she's stronger than I am, I won't ever let her down." She saw Purple Heart's purple eyes widening in shock. "Even if I can't beat the bad guys and even if I fail, I won't ever quit." Letting out a cry of determination, she pushed Purple Heart away. "Because I love my idiotic big sister despite all her faults!"
Purple Heart grimaced and gripped her head. 'Why do I...' There was a pulse and a throb in her head as her eyes became dull. Ignoring Purple Sister, she held up her sword and it started to glow with power. "Neptune Br..ea..k.." Her eyes widened as her sword stopped glowing.
"Seems like they succeeded." Iris Heart said as she saw Yellow Heart staggering in the air. "Time to end this then. Fighting Viper!" Two strong strikes to Yellow Heart had the busty CPU crying out in pain as her processor broke apart and she fell to the ground, completely naked, her bare breasts bounced everywhere as she landed on her back. That only lasted for a moment before she returned to normal and, much to Iris Heart's relief, completely clothed in her bee outfit.
Purple Heart panted and shook in mid-air. "What..?" She looked up to see Purple Sister suddenly in front of her and swinging her sword in. Growling, she blocked the attack. "You somehow cut me off from my shares."
"No." Purple Sister shook her head. "You still have them, but you need to come back to us, Neptune!" As the two sisters struck their blades against each other, Purple Sister grimaced softly. 'I need her to be still long enough for me to try the remote on before anything else.'
On the ground, Iris Heart landed in front of Peashy, who was rubbing her head and whining. "Owwies! That hurt!"
Iris Heart chuckled softly and returned to her human form. "Hello, Peashy, do you remember me?" Plutia asked, before sighing as Peashy looked at her and shook her head. "That's okay," she turned to look at Compa and IF as they walked forward, "you have friends who want to help."
"Huh?" Peashy looked at the two girls and frowned in confusion. "You two look familiar to me."
"Compa..." Plutia smiled at the girl. "Show Peashy your toy."
"You mean this?" Compa asked and pulled out a rather large toy syringe from her cloth sack.
Suddenly Peashy's eyes widened and she jumped up in fear. "AAAAAH! SCARY POKEY!" She ran behind some rocks and was followed by Compa, who had been encouraged by Plutia to run after her.
After a few minutes of them running around, Plutia grabbed Peashy from behind and lifted her up and off the ground. "Okay, calm down, no scary pokey will hurt you."
"You mean it?" Peashy sniffled and looked behind her as Compa stopped and giggled.
"Uh huh..." Plutia smiled and put Peashy down. "But I bet you still don't know who we are, huh?" Peashy blinked and shook her head. "That's fine... Iffy, you're up."
IF pulled out a little book and looked at it carefully before opening it up to the page that was bookmarked. "And so, the gallant heroine charged the evil monster and her wicked minion to save the princess Nep-ko!"
Peashy's eyes widened as she listened. "OOooooh! What next!? What next?!"
"Um..." IF quickly read it. "Then after the heroine saves the Princess from the evil minion of darkness, she takes Princess Nep-ko off to get married, but the evil witch Dark Lord PluOOO!" IF's eyes bugged out and looked at Plutia, who smiled and nodded, indicating it was okay. "Um, the evil witch Dark Lord Plutia comes to stop them, but the Heroine fights her off before she can revive her minions and then runs away with the Princess before the wicked queen of the fairies Histoire takes the Princess away to work."
"That's so cool!" Peashy's eyes were sparkling. "I wanna rescue a princess now!"
"Peashy, look..." Plutia smiled and held out a pudding cup. The young girl carefully took it and she stared at the top. "It's your favorite pudding."
"Nep... Pudding?" Peashy's eyes widened in shock.
*Flash*
"THAT'S MY PUDDING!" Peashy yelled at a girl slightly taller than her cloaked in shadow.
"Nep wha?!" The person yelled in shock. "But this is MY pudding! I put my name on it and everything!"
"NO WAY! THAT'S MY PUDDING!" Peashy yelled and ran forward, headbutting the person in the stomach and causing them to fall onto their back. Peashy grabbed the pudding before it fell and started eating it. "Yummy!"
The person under Peashy groaned and slowly sat up. "P-Ko, you dummy! There's more pudding in the fridge!"
"But this is the best pudding!" Peashy giggled happily.
*End Flash*
Peashy groaned and gripped at her head. "Nep... Nep..."
"Look Peashy..." Plutia smiled and held out two plushies, one that looked like Peashy and one that looked like Neptune. "You and Neppy were always so close."
Peashy stared at the dolls, the pudding cup long since fallen to the floor as she reach out for them, her hands trembling. "Nep... Nep..." Her eyes started to tear up. "Pea.. Pea knows..."
"Peashy..." Compa spoke up and Peashy looked up to see her and IF holding up a picture that had several crudely drawn people on it.
The picture was a table with everyone's name pointing to the people as they sat around it and were all smiling.
"IF... Compa... Nep...gear... Pl..ooot... Nep...Tuna..?" Peashy's eyes widened and she fell to her knees, trembling. "WAAAAAAH! NEPTUNA!"
"Peashy!" Compa and IF ran to her and the smaller girl grabbed them, bawling her eyes out.
"Iffy! Compa!" Peashy cried out and when Plutia knelt down next to them, she grabbed Plutia as well. "Ploot! I missed you!"
"I missed you too," Plutia whispered softly, tears falling out of her eyes as she held her wayward daughter again. "I missed you so much."
(-)
A few moments ago...
"Victory!" Purple Heart held up her sword as she glared at Purple Sister. "SLASH!" She yelled while rushing forward while a V-shaped sigil formed under her feet.
"I'll counter with my Panzer Blade!" Purple Sister called out as she rushed forward at the same time, her attack colliding with Purple Heart's attack in a shower of sparks, both of them turning their bodies to the side in mirror images as their weapons were pointed down and to the side.
Both sisters turned their heads to look at each other and swung their swords against each other in quick and rapid swings that had the blades clashing against each other while they twisted their bodies and pushed their blades against each other while they clashed.
'Don't worry, I'll save you!' Purple Sister thought to herself, she just needed an opening. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see an opening. "If only there was a way to..." She trailed off, remembering a sparring session she had with Noire a few years ago.
*Flash*
"Not bad." Noire smirked at Nepgear, who stared at her hands in shock. "Considering that Neptune never sparred with you, I'm surprised you're so good, you're easier to disarm than your sister is, but that's because she's an actual battle maniac." Noire laughed at Nepgear's expression. "Yeah, she doesn't look or act like it, but Neptune really loves fighting. If you ever have to fight against her, there's a trick you can use to disarm her with ease."
Nepgear nodded as she listened. "Thanks."
"Just so you know, it probably only works one in every three attempts." Noire warned her. "You mess up and you'll be hurting afterwords."
Nepgear nodded. "Uh huh! Got it!"
*End Flash*
Purple Sister nodded and flew back to catch her breath. "I'm betting everything on my next attack!"
Purple Heart smirked and pointed her sword at Purple Sister. "Bring it, you'll soon see that you're inferior to me." She rushed forward and swung her blade down at Purple Sister.
"NOW!" Purple Sister suddenly screamed and twisted, slashing upwards, but not at Purple Heart, instead, she slashed at Purple Heart's arms, her blade connecting with the hilt of Purple Heart's sword, which caused Purple Heart's eyes to widen as she felt her grip loosen just enough for Purple Sister to finish her spin, reach in, knock the sword away before grabbing Purple Heart and pullilng her close.
"What are you doing?" Purple Heart asked as Purple Sister wrapped her arms and legs around her.
"I'm not letting you go." Purple Sister said as a small remote appeared in her hands. "And I'm going to save you!" She moved her hand up to the base of Purple Heart's neck and pressed the button.
Purple Heart's eyes widened as a buzzing sensation covered her body and she threw her head back as her body spasmed in pain. "Gyaaaaaaaaah!" She screamed as agony filled her body.
"I'm sorry, Neptune!" Purple Sister said as the two careened to the ground, moving at high speeds. "Please! Put up with it! I swear it'll be over soon!" She hugged her sister tightly as she heard the groaned and cries of pain, discomfort and agony from the older CPU. Tears fell from Purple Sister's eyes as they continued their descent. "Please... It's almost done. I'm just cutting the signal off. Please hold on..."
"Nep..." Purple Heart groaned as she shuddered and her body started to go slack. "Gear... I...Thank...You..." She whispered softly as her eyes closed and her body went limp.
"Neptune!" Purple Sister started to cry tears of joy. "Thank..."
She wasn't able to finish what she was going to say as the two hit the ground with a loud thump, kicking up dirt and dust.
"Neppy Jr!" Plutia yelled as she, IF, Compa and Peashy ran over to where the two crashed into the ground.
