Chapter 19
"ACCESS!" The two yelled at the same time, being engulfed in white light.
"Well, this stinks." Compa trembled as the light ended and the two were transformed.
"CPU Gray Heart is here." Ouya had gotten a head taller and her hips and butt had both gotten larger and her bust changed from a small B cup to a medium D cup, her hair was now down to her shoulders but in a single braided pigtail. Her hair color had changed to black while her eyes turned red in color. Her leotard was silver-gray in color with black lines around the edges, though unlike the other CPUs, she also had a frilly skirt around her waist and her arms and legs were covered, leaving just her thighs and shoulders exposed. In her hand, of all things, was a large red yo yo.
"CPU Rainbow Heart is here." Stadia smirked as she had grown taller, matching Purple Heart in both height and curvature, her hair, while done up in twin braided ponytails, was streaks of red, orange, blue, violet, yellow, green and indigo coloring. Her processor was a full body suit that was blue with purple trim that left her head, neck and hands exposed. Her eyes were a bright blue in color. "What's wrong, mother?" She asked, her voice a couple of octaves deeper than before. "Afraid that we'll surpass you?" She held her hand out and a blade of energy snapped out from her palm, which she held one-handed.
Purple Heart narrowed her eyes at the two CPUs. "IF, Compa, can you face Warechu down?" She glanced at Steamax, who was getting to a sitting position. "Steamax, while I know us to be adversaries, please, I ask for your help. Stop Warechu, I know he's a villain, but I do not think he would want to be like this."
"Y-you're right, Lady Neptune." Steamax nodded and caught something that was thrown to him. "This is..?"
"A Nep Bull, use that to heal your wounds and help my friends against that monster." Purple Heart said without looking at him.
"Nep! Do you really think..."
"Do what I said, young lady!" Purple Heart said in a tone of voice that left no room for arguing.
"Ooooh!" Gray Heart's voice was mostly unchanged from her human form, other than being slightly higher pitched. "Mommy's in one of her moods right now!" She closed her eyes and giggled while swinging her yo-yo around. "Hey, hey, mommy, if I do a good job, will you praise me?"
Purple Heart said nothing as she held her katana in front of her in a defensive position. "Just tell me, who's your boss this time?"
"Sorry, can't tell you," Rainbow Heart said and rushed in, grinning like a crazy person as a gleam came to her eyes as Gray Heart skipped behind her and threw what looked like a disc at her, only to have it get blown up shortly as it got out of her hand while Rainbow Heart had to jump back as another explosion stopped her from running forward.
"Sorry, but I'm not going to sit this one out, Nep Nep." B-Sha said as she walked foward. "I don't trust myself to not freeze up against that giant monster and leaving you to face two CPUs by yourself doesn't seem fair."
Rainbow Heart suddenly laughed. "Oh man! MOM has people worried about her having an unfair fight for once?"
Gray Heart put her hand over her mouth and giggled. "So that's why it's always four people to a party against one to three bosses?" She swung her yo-yo in a circle while Rainbow Heart rushed forward. The yo-yo spun faster and faster as it crackled with electrical energy. "So," Gray Heart's expression became one of maniac glee, "why don't you see just how hard it is to fight against mommy's children?!" She snapped her arm out and the yo-yo launched itself at B-Sha, who jumped out the way, but was caught in the explosion, that sent her flying into a tree.
"YEEK!" B-Sha groaned as she slid down and staggered forward. "How are you.."
"So strong?" Gray Heart asked, shrugging before she rushed at B-Sha, giggling. "I guess it's because I'm pretty..."
B-Sha watched, her eyes wide in shock as Gray Heart's upper body was parallel to the ground, but somehow her legs were coming down towards B-Sha's head as Gray Heart bent her back and did a flip, seemingly snapping herself around so it looked like she was sitting up while her foot slammed into B-Sha's head, smashing her into the ground. "Pretty flexible that is!" Gray Heart laughed as B-Sha groaned from where her face was in the ground. Gray Heart grinned and let out a gleeful sound as she spun around a couple of times. "Yay!" She turned her head and blinked as she saw someone not far away. "Hey! Who are you?"
"Ah!" The blonde gulped. "D-Dengekiko with Dengeki News, what's going on and who are you?"
"Me?" Gray Heart smiled and pointed at herself. "I'm Gray Heart!" She pointed at where Purple Heart was clashing with Rainbow Heart. "And my sister, Rainbow Heart is fighting our mother."
"...Your mother is Purple Heart?!" Dengekiko gasped and Gray Heart nodded. "Ah, then... Why are you fighting her?"
"Our boss told us to." Gray Heart shrugged.
Dengekiko nodded as she wrote notes down. "Okay, but..." She trailed off as she saw B-Sha getting up.
"Hmm?" Gray Heart turned around and shook her head. "Oh lookie, the fake CPU is getting up." She started to slowly swing her yo-yo around her side, building up power before she grinned. "Okay, Gold Third! Let's see how you like being on the opposite end of an unwinnable boss fight!" She smirked as she slowly sauntered towards B-Sha.
B-Sha raised her head up and panted while some blood trickled down her face. Standing up, she pointed her bazooka at Gray Heart, before smirking and pointing it down slightly and firing it, creating an explosion that sent her flying back while Gray Heart created a barrier to block the attack. "Not done yet!" The Gold Third member declared after she slid to a stop and stood tall. "I am a member of Planeptune! For Nep Nep! For this nation! I won't let a repeat of three years ago to happen again!"
Gray Heart frowned softly as she looked at B-Sha. "...Member of Planeptune..?"
*Flash*
"Mommy?" Ouya looked at Purple Heart. "Why do you do so much for them? They forgot you and..."
Purple Heart smiled and put her hand on Ouya's head, gently ruffling her hair. "Because, even if they forget me for a time or turn on me, I'm still their CPU. I'm still their Goddess." Ouya looked confused while Purple Heart smiled at her. "We're all members of Planeptune; you, me, Stadia, P-Ko and Plutie, it's our job to protect the people from things that can hurt them so that they can live normal lives."
"...I'm just a weapon though."
Purple Heart frowned and pulled Ouya against her body, allowing the short girl to rest against her. "No you aren't. I'll find a way to help you and Stadia so you won't ever be used like weapons again."
*End Flash*
Gray Heart sighed and put a hand against her ear. "Boss, I'm not feeling it right now." She winced at the response. "I know, but..." She winced again at the response. "Please?"
There was nothing but silence for awhile while Rainbow Heart and Purple Heart clashed in the sky while Warechu suddenly toppled over as his fight exhausted him and he started to revert.
Gray Heart finally nodded as she got a reply. "Really? YIPPEE!" She threw her hands in the air and looked up at Rainbow Heart, who had just slammed her shoulder into Purple Heart's stomach, to launch her back before reaching up and grabbing Purple Heart by her throat and rushing to the ground while surrounded in energy.
Purple Heart grimaced as she was slammed into the ground and slid forward before she felt the build-up of energy around her. "Sta..."
"Bye bye, mother!" Rainbow Heart giggled as she jumped off of Purple Heart, who let out a cry of pain as she was engulfed in exploding energy.
"Hey! Stadia!" Gray Heart yelled as she flew over to Rainbow Heart. "Boss says we can go."
Rainbow Heart frowned and looked as Steamax, IF and Compa were running their way, along with B-Sha. "Ah, darn it!" She sighed and narrowed her eyes at Steamax, who jerked slightly. "Fine, if the boss allows it, we might as well go."
Gray Heart nodded and looked at Purple Heart, who was pushing herself to her knees. "Wow, what a pose, huh, mommy?" She giggled and put her hand over her mouth. "Then again, you end up in that position a lot, don't you?" Gray Heart waved as she and Rainbow Heart took off into the air. "Bye bye, mommy! We'll meet again soon enough!"
Purple Heart grimaced as she looked up and watched her wayward daughters fly off. Sighing as she knew it was impossible to chase after them, she allowed herself to return to her human form. "This sucks! I hate fighting them." She grumbled and pushed herself to her feet before sighing as she saw a reporter running towards her. 'And now the media, great, how will this get spun, I wonder.'
The only other thing of note was that Steamax was gone and Warechu was back in his normal rat form, though he was being held by IF at blade point.
But Neptune didn't care about any of that. 'Ouya, Stadia, please...' She turned to look where they had flown off to. "Please don't let the person who you're working for this time hurt you again."
A little shorter than usual, but I wanted to get this out so I can get to explaining Ouya and Stadia's origins.
