A Goddess of Two Nations: Rabendā

Chapter 3: Neptune and Noire! A date around Lastation

Neptune never felt this nervous before in her life. She was going on a date with Noire, someone she spent decades teasing her was practically her girlfriend now and have a sixteen-year-old looking girl as their daughter. In only two days Neptune never felt nervous of what to do or what to say. She waited at the central city's park for Noire, it was the deal they made last night when it was time to go home. Meet in the park around eight in the morning, it was the arrangement they made for today. But Neptune felt that anxious about this date. She asked Noire out, but she was the one that felt butterflies in the pit of her stomach.

"It shouldn't be hard, it's just a date, right?" she asked herself, eyeing the clock she stood waiting for Noire, "I hope I look good. Is this appropriate for a date?" she asked, looking down to the clothes she was wearing. Her clothes she wore wasn't her usual attire: a short sleeve light purple jacket over a light purple shirt and a matching skirt. Her Planeptune hairclips and chocker was absent, but she looked completely different than her usual look, "Damn you little sister, the moment I asked for clothes advice, you just have a outfit that's cute, honestly," she groaned, looking at herself in the reflection of the smooth surface. Her cheeks heat up, anxiety returning, "Do I look cute enough?" she asked herself, tugging at a lock of her hair. even her hair was musch more neaer than usally. She took another deep breath, feeling that anxiety take her.

"Just be calm, it's just a date with someone you spend years picking on. It should be easy, right?" she asked herself, looking to her palms. They were sweating, she felt how nervous she was to make sure this didn't go badly. But it was still Noire, someone she knew she cared, but never showed those feelings without jokes. THen again, what do you say to someone you made a butt of your jokes for years?

"Neptune?" a voice asked from behind her. Neptune whipped around to see someone behind her. It finally donned on her it was actually Noire. Her appearence was quite different than her usual CPU attire, it was almost a shock to see her. Her usual dress was replaced with a striped purple, lavender, and pink long sleeve jacker over a black top with a small lavender bow in the front. Her skirt was a matching black and matching black shoes with no visible socks on her feet. Her black ribbins still remained, it was still like she was completely different person. A black purse hung on her shoulder as she looked at Neptune shyly, "H-Hi."

"Hi." Neptune replied back, her own tone a little embarassed to see Noire look so different. Neptune kept her composure trying to not worry Noire for her nervousness and spoke up, "Um, you look nice."

"You too," Noire replied. She fidgeted a little not trying to look as embarassed as Neptune wasn't trying to look nervous as Noire, "Uh, shall we go?"

"Y-yeah, let's." Neptune repiled, Noire and her finally leaving the clock and made thier way through the park. It felt ever more quiet between the two, Neptune looking to Noire who smiled but she felt nervous walking with her. But what does a couple do, nevertheless being with a couple with someone she's been horrible to for years. She looked around, seeing the early morning citizens holding hands with their love ones. They looked happy, kind of like the couples she saw on town. Was that how couples do it, seeing some of them be lovely dovey like that. Maybe holding noire's hand would be right? Without delay, she took Noire's hands and squeezed it, making Noire jump seeing the short CPU just grab her hand like that. Her cheecks were heat up, suprised by this gesture for a moment and didn't expect this from the new Neptune.

"Um, shouldn't couples hold hands together? I mean, that's what couples do right?" Neptune asked nicelt, Noire still feeling a little suprised by that.

"Um, yeah." she replied, looking away from her. They kept thier steed through the part, being quiet to one another until they left the park. Neptune still held Noire's hand tightly in hers, still not sure what else a couple should do. Dating wasn't something she really knew, only seen from the shows she watches with Nepgear and Uzume, the romantic kind seeing usually a boy and girl out the town, dress nicely and on a real date. That's what she knows, but expercing it is a diffeent story. It wasn't long, that Noire spoke, stopping Neptune's train of thought.

"Where's Rabendā right now?" she asked, making Neptune nsap into focus.

"Oh, Nepgear and Uzume is watching her at Blanc's place. Said she should get to know the Candiates more." Neptune explained to her.

"That's nice, she should get to make friends." Noire replied smiling to the Planeptune CPU, " Rabendā is still young so she needs to be social with others close to her age, well appearence wise I mean."

"True, she's still new to this world, It's better she gets to know people. So, where we're going first?" Neptune asked curiously to her.

"There's a nice resturant in town we can go for breakfast and lunch. Let's just... enjoy the walk, okay?" Noire asked.

"Okay." Neptune said as they coniinued going to the resturant, both gir;s see feel anxious.

"Wow, this is really Lowee!" Rabendā saud delighted, in awe of the different atmosphere the Lowee nation was. The snow, the buildings, it was different from the futuristic city of Planeptune and the Streampunk vibe of Lastation. The building felt more like from a video game with even mushrooms growing around. The snow as well made it feel like a winter wonderland as he took the helm from Nepgear, Uzume, and uni. The CPU and Candidates did like how happy the young CPU was, it was natural she was only just born so she's enjoying the world around her.

"Hey Rabendā, don't run off too far!" Nepgear called out to her neice.

"Okay Auntie Nepgear!" Rabendā called back, making Nepgear still smiled, still shocked she was a aunt in the first place, all belcause of Neptune and Noire.

"She's happy, I don't blame her. By the way, remind me why I'm going along, I'm not watching Rabendā right now." Uni said looking from the Planeptune CPUs and then to her sister daughter and now niece.

"It's not like you're busy, plus everyone's pitching in to help Rabendā remember?" Nepgear reminded the black haired Candidate. Uni flinched, remembering the other night, "Besides, keeping a close eye that there's not anymore jinxing you make on us."

"How was I suppose to know Neptune and Sis would make a child, I'm not psychic guys." Uni retorted, not feeling this was her fault.

"Well isn't the saying be careful what you wish for, it might come true Unisy?" Uzume asked her, "You said to Nepgear nothing bad will happen, but it did. Plus we got one CPU born out of this, we won't need another, namely from you two or Vertsy." making the two girls blush at the thought.

"W-w-w-w-e would never! Also Histore said it only happened because our shares were at it's peak and the share energy that both Sis and Noire made. And even if we had s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s..." and Nepgear's whole body turned completely beet red as she was stammering trying to say the next word. Nepgear looked like she was broken down, Uzume waving her hand in front of her face to get her back to her senses. Uzume shrugged, grabbing the junior by the hand and continued to drag her to the Lowee Basillicon with the not in the mind Nepgear to the Basillicon.

It wasn't long that the girls made it the Basillicon walking in as Nepgear was still phased out about it. Entering inside, the girls stood in the lobby, looking around the white and brown lobby and seeing the Basillicon worker wave to the girls as they went to the room of Blanc with Nepgear still phased out. Climbing out stairs, Uzume led Nepgear, Uni, and Rabendā to Blanc's room and knocked on the door.

"Yo Blansy! It's me, Gearsy, Unisy, and Rabsy!" Uzume called from the door. Rabendā was confused, who's Rabsy? Then it dawned on that's the name she gave her? Was it a nickname, that was a surprise. For some reason, it warmed her to be have a nickname. The door before her opened and Blanc stood at the foot of the door. She looked at the girls with her doll like eyes, a small smile on her face.

"Oh morning girls, didn't expect you to be here early." Blanc said and looked at Nepgear looking like she was broken, "What happened to her?"

"Well she thinks that CPUs have to made be actual reproducing." Uzume said nonchalantly, seeing Nepgear hasn't recovered yet. Blanc frowned, seeing the Candidate was stuck on loop.

"I see. But we aren't like normal people to make children, plus CPUs are born from shares, not that. Even if we did produced a child with a male, it be a normal human not a CPU. It wouldn't work if we did date humans." Blanc said coming up to Nepgear and pitched her nose, "Come on Nepgear, speak!" as Nepgear was having isses talking before getting away from Blanc and coughed, kneeling down trying to breath.

"What... the... goodness... Blanc!" she panted, catching her breath. She looked up to see Uni, Uzume, and Rabendāwere in the room and stood up straight to everyone, "As I was saying, sexual intercourse doesn't work with us. Our bodies doesn't work the same way as humans, even if we did with other CPUs, it's just sex, we aren't making CPUs without max shares on both sides. Now with male citizens, we can't produce CPUs by sex, we just make normal humans with no CPU qualities. It wouldn't make logical sense. What Neptune and Noire did was a miracle because their shares were high. It won't happen unless shares were max, and I'm sure Histore will have our heads if we try it again like one of us, so..." she looked to Uni with a glare, "Love ya, but hands to yourself."

"What, why me?!" Uni asked blushing and Uzume crossed her arms with a smile.

"Gearsy's back!" she said with excitement.

"Welcome back to us, hard to see that you are back with that info dump, looks like Histore been telling you a lot unlike your sister. But your sister in now a mother and is taking responsibility, so I'll cut her some slack." Blanc said before Rom and Ram came into the room, seeing Nepgear, Uni, Uzume, and Rabendā were visiting today.

"Nepgear, Uni, good morning!" Ram waved to the two old Candiates.

"Miss Uzume, Rabendā, good to see you too." Rom greeted shyly.

"Can you girls keep Rabendā and Uni occupated while I'm with Nepgear and Uzume?" Blanc asked the twins.

"Sure, come on Rabendā! Let's go to our room!" Ram ordered, grabbing the young CPU by the hand and tugging her out the room with her a little taken aback about leaving so soon from her aunt aunts and Uzume. With a wave goodbye, Rabendā was out the door with the Candidate Twins leaving Nepgear, Uni, and Uzume with Blanc.

"That should leave the girls occupied while we get to business." Blanc informed them.

"Are you sure Rabendā will be okay with them? I mean what if Rabendā makes a hole in the wall or something?" Uni asked curiously.

"I don't see a problem, it's not like she be Vert's sister or anything, plus she's still in a sense newborn, her powers aren't awakened,"Blanc said going to her chair to put on her coat, "Besides, Rom and Ram need to give her friends correct, better now than later. We all said we pitch in to help her grow, I think making friends is a great way of growing asa CPU."

"That's true, she got it easy, we never got to make friends when we was born, even then during the whole ASIC stuff, we was still alone. I can understand, wanting her to not feel alone," Uni said putting her hands behind her back, "I do get that, I only had Noire and even Kei as friend, no one else my age. If I never met Nepgear, Rom, Ram, the others, I would never have good friends."

"Uni..." Nepgear realized, never hearing the candidate open up so before.

"I can understand, before I made friends with the monsters, I was alone when I was sealed away, in the Heart Dimension and my life in the Zero dimension. Umio, the baby bugs, Dogoos, they kept me happy for some long, even when I kept fighting with the Dark CPUs," Uzume said holding her right arm and her voice switched to her 'real voice' as Orange Heart, "Uzume never like being alone, no other humans, no life outside the city. Umio and the others were what kept Uzume happy in that dimesnion," Umzume cleared her throat and was back to her 'cool' voice, "No one wants to feel alone, I wouldn't want Rabsy to be lonely in this new world."

"Uzume is right, we want her to grow as a fine CPU, but she shouldn't be alone in a world unfamiliar to her," Nepgear agreed holding her own arm as well. She shook her head, realizing how serious their conversation has gotten and how seriouss it became, "But for now, it's a new beginning, Noire and Sis are starting over and we have a CPU to train, so let's give it our all!"

"Right!" responded, Blanc, Uzume, and Uni in agreement

"This is our room Rabendā!" Ram annouced, leading the purple and black haired girl into the Twin's bedroom. It was spacious for the two Candiates, the two beds with thier colors of powder blue and pink, dressers, toy chests, a TV in the back of the wall, colorful rugs, shevles, and posters of the Nations mascots. The room was showed to be a room of a child, how brightly it looked. Rabendā sat on one of the char cushions to face the two twins who looked through thier toy chest to grab something. She looked at the room, noticing a side of the room that looked like it was broken years ago and fied. She remembered from her mom's story that Rom was taken by CFW Trick and Underling before and they made a mess of her room and thier nation. Was it easy to control a CPU, Neptune's story said it was because they were low on shares at the time. She guess since they had no faith, it was easy for them to temporary claim her. Was ASIC really that stron, maybe outside those like Linda and Werechu but The Four Felons were praobaly the strongest of ASIC even the Deity of Sin took a lot of them to beat her. The things her aprents and Aunts have been through, they been through a lot.

"There we go, I knew we put it up somewhere!" Ram called, beinging over Video game console, three controllers, and wires, "This our home console for Lowee. Here Rabendā, hold this gamepad while we set upthe console." he offered as Rabendā held it in her has as the twin set up the console. As she never held her parent's console, The Gamepad from Lowee was bigger that she held it both her hands. It wasn't long that the twins set the console up, looking at the menu and the game 'Supper Mash Brothers' was already booting up. "There we go," Ram said, coming back to sit beside the CPU, "We're going to Smasher Brothers?"

"Smash Brothers?" Rabendā asked not understqading what it was.

"It's a fighting game where characters from our games fight in battle. You can control different games with different styles of fighting. We have some clones but we're working on that. We had to get rid of Wolf from Star Fox though, not everyone liked that, or Dark Pit, I tihnk Cloud and Bayonetta was mixed," Ram exokained, "But the rules are we fight on stages adn know each other off with Smash attacks, iteams,a dn how you combo. There's also a Smash Ball, a Super move we devolped in Brawl that can change the battle. Breaking it open and using it beore the other opponents get you. Do you get it?"

"I guess so, I never played a game before." Rabendā responded sadly, she was still new to this work after all.

"Don't worry, we'll start you off on Arcade and it'll help practice you a little. So who do like to play as. We got all the characters. Blanc said we could buy the Amiibos with our own allowance we get, so we bought fifteen of them last month."and showed the complete rooster of characters, so many she didn't really know. She was creatures from worlds she never experenced, monsters, animals, swordmens and women, so many to choose. One of them caught her eye, a sword woman. She had long blue hair and carried a silver sword, dressed so differently than the others. Something about her made her want to use her, so she selected her for the Arcade.

"You're going to use Lucina, she's a new comer in Smash. I guess it's fitting, a newcomer playing a newcomer I think that's the feeling." Rom said shyly buy smiling.

"I guess," Rabendā said but thought, 'I don't know but her wit that sword... Make me feel like I wan to hold one for some reason.'

"Here we are, The Golden Saucer!" Noire announced, showing Neptune the restaurant they were doing eat at. Neptune heard about this fancy resturnat from others in Planeptune, never really ate here before. The red and gold fit the style the restaurant had, even seeing the sign have a saucer as well. Noire led her inside, still holding Neptune's hands as they went inside. The gold and red colors style was apparent inside, Neptune seeing how fancy everyone looked and how she felt so plain now with her cause clothes. Being guided by Noire, they walked to the waitress' booth, a young man greeted them.

"Welcome to the Golden Saucer. Ah, Lady Noire, We were expecting you, we have your booth for two ready for you," the waiter looked around seeing there was no one else, "Foorgive me Lady Noire, didn't you say you had a date?"

"Yes, Lady Neptune here." she corrected, pulling Neptune closer in view of the waiter. The Waiter was speechless, he expect Noire to have a date, never in his wildest dream it'll be Neptune. He kept his composure, clearing his throat and speaking up again.

"My apologizes Lady Noire, I didn't expect the date to be Lady Neptune. Forgive me on my rudeness." he said, bowing to his CPU.

"No need, I should have explain myself better." Noire admitted feeling a little taken aback from the apology from the waiter, "Um, our booth please?"

"Of course, right this way ladies." The waiter said, leading the two CPUs through inside. It didn't take long that eyes were on them, everyone wondering why Neptune and Noire were in a restaurant together. It wasn't like Neptune's teasing of their CPU was common knowledge, they just see the two girls were close, always standing together when they see them. Many wondered if they were a couple, Noire was holding Neptune's hand in gesture they were girlfriends now. Was this some kind of joint union between Planeptune and Lastation, how would Lowee and Leanbox feel, hope they wouldn't try some trick but fail or give up about it. It wouldn't be right of Lady Vert or Lady blanc to do, try, or succeed. Sounds like a convoluted plot anyway, so they decided to just watch them while they ate.

Neptune and Noire were taken to the booth near a window, the low sunlight through the curtians was a nice air to a good date. The two girls sat on either sides of the table, the red tablecloth with the gold lining had plates and Silverware as well two glasses. Noire took a napkin and lay it on her lap, Neptune following the gesture to do so. This was a fancy place, so she had to have some manners. The waiter held a note pad and a pen, ready to take the girls' orders.

"So, what you ladies like to drink?" he asked kindly to the girls.

"Strawberry Lemonade with a lime please?" Noire asked nicely.

"Uh, same please?" Neptune asked.

"Thank you, I'll be back with your drinks." the waiter said and left their table.

It was quiet between the two noe, more quiet than how they started this whole development in the first place. Neptune looked around, it wasn't hard to notice they were drawing a crowd being in a fancy place like this. Many probably want to know if they was dating or not. True, it's gossip people love so wants to know. It wasn't too long Noire spoke up to her.

"Neptune, are you nervous?" she asked, startling her.

"Huh, umm?" she responded, trying to find the right words to say. She kept her hands hidden under the table, "A-A little."

"Same. I'm a little nervous myself. I never really wen tout a actual date before." she admitted, putting hand to her hair.

"I guess we are both very inexperience in relationships." Noire replied giggling.

"True. I spent my own life treating you terribly, really never got yo know you better," Neptune replied back before smiled to the Lastation, "So share with me, Noire."

"Sure, I love to share with you, Neptune!" Noire said happily.

As they waited for their drinks, Noire told Neptune more about her even the usually nosy CPU would ever know. She learned of the some of the projects she was taken, and the real reason she was in that contest. While it was contest to see who had the best costume, the money was going to help fund some of the home the kinds that were parent-less in Ultra dimension and used in the Seven Sages plans had finally were returned to thie human selves and needed a place to stay. The rest of the money was help funding more transportation between Nations. Neptune didn't know, and she thought it was just Noire's flaunting herself, how foolish she thought it was. Maybe that's why she was embarrassed because she didn't want anyone to know what she was up to. Then Noire said she wanted to bring Virtual Reality to life, working hard on her VR Glasses and prays they succeed. Noire was a hard world, diligent, and very mature, something Neptune felt she'll never be like. She spent most of her life being lazy, being jerks to her friends and even sister, but was it too late to improve? Now with a actul child to take care, maybe to try to better herself now for both of them.

Their drinks came and Neptune took a sip, when the Waiter asked for what kind of food she wanted. She deiced some pudding and cranberry muffins to eat first, Noire asking for a fruit salad and applesauce. As the waiter when to get their food, Noire told more to Neptune about what she was always up to. She even explain what happened while Neptune was still in he Ultra Dimension with Nepgear. Most of the time was dealing with Rei Ryghts and the clones of themselves and Iris Heart. Of course running into and meeting themselves wasn't as shocking as learning now there's a Ultra version Neptune and while that version is just like thier Neptune, she did a lot even was pretending to help the Secret Organization AffimaX from behind the scenes. She wasn't as dumb as they give her, despite having Neptune's mannerisms. From how she kept going, everyone had to pitch into help Planeptune while it's CPUs were gone. Neptune did her best to not try to look overjoyed, everyone really did all that for her home, yet she took all that for granted to just be goofy and silly? Maybe it was Noire's influence that's making her feel like, she didn't know. When their breakfast arrived, Noire kept up her story while they ate.

Hours passed when Lunch service started that they choose what they wanted: Moire was in the mood for a potato baked and Neptune wanted a burger. When they waited fro their first plate of lunch and drink refills, Neptune told her adventures in the Ultra Dimension to Noire. Noire knew the basics of her misadventures there but not the full details that their Ultra counterparts told them. The fact CPUs weren't born like they were was interesting. For the Ultradimension, they had to find their CPU Memories and have the qualifications to be CPUs or risk being a monster like a Baby Bug or aging. Neptune decided to not say she called the other a fake (since Noire may or may not knew that and since she is starting fresh with Noire, no insults of her or the other Noire for the better), but explain Ultra Noire was very hard working to be come a CPU and seem very close to Plutia, to which Noire asked a question that even Neptune was taken aback.

"My counterpart was with Plutia when she first transformed into Iris, Histore too when she was released. So was the other Noire's, um 'innocence' taken?" she asked her face turning red.

"If you want my opinion, Yeah I think she was. Plutia says they are best fiends, I think it's out of fear, the other Noire never wanted me to let her transform and seem in fear when she's around. I mean don't get me wrong, I never really enjoyed her torment," she assured her waving her hands, "Just it was a little funny for a little bit, then again I acted harshly even in HDD to Nepgear when the other Vert tricked her. I was terrible to her and she saved us years back. Some sister I turn out to be." she sighed.

"That's not true, It takes a real person to realize their mistakes. If you think you can't change, don't worry. Every little steps helps. Plus, " Noire smiled to the CPU and winked, "I'm with for life, so don't think I'll let you slip up again."

Neptune chuckled, hiding her blush, "Thank you Noire, I appreciate it."

"Wow 20:55 rounds, you catch on quick Rabendā, but we're the better players." Ram said as the girls had played for a long time. Rabendā caught on quick to plays as Lucina who she used in arcade and practice matches. Once that was over, the Twins challenge her to some free for all all items matches, the girls using the full roster while she used Lucina as she was getting more use to her the most of the cast. While she won twenty-two of their matches, the twins were the experts, winning fifty-five rounds between them. Even though she was Noire and Neptune's child, she had a fair fighter to herself, accepting her losses with a smile no tears or tantrum. She took her losses fairly.

"Well you two are the better players. Rom, Ram, you're awesome. Thanks for letting me play with you." Rabendā said smiling at the Twins.

"No problem, it was actually kind of fun. We don't get many friends to play and Nepgear and Uni are always busy with their sisters to come over. It's actually kind of refreshing," Ram explained kindly, "Plus you are just like us, although a little older than us."

"That's true," Rabendā replied before getting another round of Smash Brothers on the way. She paused, her tone a lot more solemn, "Rom, Ram, Mama Neptune told me about your adventure to stop ASIC and the Deity of Sin. What was it like, losing Blanc for three years?"

The twins froze up, hearing the mention of the past made their faces lose their smiles and had looks of sadness to them. It was then Rabendā felt from their expressions that it wasn't happy life for them. Although Ram tried to keep calm, the past hid hurt her. She put the console and looked to the CPU, her tone ot as excited as before.

"To be quite honest, horrible. When Blanc left to go deal with ASIC at the Gameindustri Graveyard, we thought she be back home again, but it was then three years. Back then, we never cared about keeping our Nation safe but play around. It was Nepgear who got us to finally go save our sister and bring her home. Back then, I won't deny we weren't the best Candidates, we attacked Nepgear thinking she was some evil Goddess and attacked her, IF, Compa, and Red," and Rabendā gasped, why did that attack her aunt unprovoked, "We weren't thinking and just attacked them. We then took some time to finally come to our sense and help hem. You know, Nepgear saved this Nation from Killachines, but we never thanked her. Well Rom probably did, I didn't. I was... jealous that she liked Nepgear over me and I was stubborn to join them. If we did, we wouldn't have been easy prey for Underling and Trick. Nepgear, she's so different from Neptune: kind, caring of others, no matter what you say she's will help you no matter what. That girl is a way better Candidate than I'll ever be. Umm, don't tell her that or tell Blanc we attacked Nepgear, she'll kill us or take our games."

"I won't Ram, promise." Rabendā said, seeing how Ram looked nervous of her sister getting angry for the right reason.

"Miss. Nepgear saved me when I was sick and went out her way for us, we gained a wonderful friend who cared about us despite attacking her. We owe more than saving us, we gain our first real friend in years." Rom said smiling.

"Aunt Nepgear is amazing," Rabendā said a smile burn on her face, "You'll think I'll be a great CPU like Mama Neptune, Mama Noire, and Aunt Nepgear?"

"Maybe, everyone is going to help you. But since we're friends, we'll help you out too! That's a promise for how much fun we're having!" Ram said excitedly to the CPU.

Rabendā merely smiled to the Twins, feeling more relieved from all the helps she's getting, "Thank you... Rom, Ram."

"I'm stuffed! I never eaten so much good food in ages!" Neptune exclaimed happily. The pair had left the restaurant and contused on their date hand in hand. Neptune was less nervous now, and was in high spirits now as Noire took them to their next place to go to. Noire smiled to Neptune, still holding tightly to the Planeptune CPU's hand.

"I'm glad you liked it. I wen t there with Uni a few times, she usually asks for seafood every time we go for dinner there. To this date I don't know why she worries why nothing with octopus." Noire explained cocking her head.

"So where we're going next?" Neptune asked curiously.

"There's a mini festival in Midgar we can catch, they steal CPU dolls. Uh," Noire cheeks turned run red before kept going, "I, want to give you one. I mean, if you want it that is."

"I don't mind." Nepune replied before remembering, Midgar was the farthest city in Lastation, no way able to get there while they walked, "Um Noire, how will get there? It's very far."

"Isn't it obvious Neptune, we'll fly there." Noire said and put a hand to her forehead, Of course flying, how could see be stupid? She let go of Noire and transformed, her body enveloped by purple light as she appeared as Purple Heart, her wings appearing from behind her as Noire did the same, transforming into Black Heart. The two CPUs took flight, the citizens seeing the CPUs vanish from sight. It wasn't long that they made it to Midgar, seeing the small festival going on in one of the parks. The two CPUs landed, reverting back into their human forms and standing in the center of the festival. Oh course they drew attention, the booths ready to serve the CPUs. Neptune really been in Midgar much, but Nepgear was passing here during her travels with IF, Compa, and the others. The festival had the tradition feel to it, everyone wearing summer Yukatas too, she forgot it was summer. With Noire holding her hand, they looked around the festival seeing citizens and booths owners waiting for the CPUs to take a gander of their wares. When coming to the booth they were looking for, it showed dolls of all the CPUs, Candidates, and even the Oracles. All were wearing different type of clothes and designs. Noire let go of Neptune's hands, looking to Neptune with a smile.

"Can you wait for a moment over there, I'll be right back." Noire ordered her. Neptune nodded, walking towards a bench and sat there waiting for Noire to come back. Neptune put her hands to her knees, waiting painterly for her to return, looking around the festival, seeing the Lastation citizens all happy. A few saw the Planeptune CPU and wave to her, and she waved back. She looked into the sky, seeing the cloudless sky and the bright sun. It was still a nice date before looking over to see two familiar faces at the stands.

The first was a a little girl with big, dark blue eyes and blond hair worn in pigtails held by a loose red loop, her bangs split in the center to frame her face. She wears an orange dress with two white lines on the torso and a red and white pocket on the left side. Spiked red material sticks out of the bottom, while red material stretches from the chest to the neck with an orange sphere in the center. Her boots are red with two white straps on the toe and red bottom, with translucent orange material on the top half lined in white exposing her pale orange socks. Her gloves are red with loose orange translucent cuffs lined in white with a single button, along with pale orange sleeves that end below her shoulder. On her head is a white and orange cap with a big red button on the side.

The second girl was a woman much older than her a bit taller. She has slanted gray eyes and long pale brown hair worn in a loose, low ponytail held by a white and orange pill-shaped ornament. She wore a blue beret lined with black and gold with a gold C on the side. Her outfit is composed of a revealing white and black bikini-inspired piece worn under an opened blue, gold, and black outfit with a C-shaped belt on the bottom. Two thin blue straps stretch across her stomach, while around her neck is a thin blue band with a gold clasp. She wore brown tights with a single X-shaped wrap on the left leg held by a gold piece. Her boots are blue with black and gold accenting. On top of each boot is a gold loop attachment, and material of black sticks out of the top of each boot. On each arm is a short black sleeved attached to her middle finger on a gold ring with a sheer gold bracelet is on each wrist.

Neptune recognized them as B-Sha and C-Sha, members of the Gold Third, a group formed by a prophecy and were manipulated by Kurome. It wasn't strange to see the two around these parts, usually C-Sha had Huntress world and B-Sha helping the Retro Video Game Shop in Planeptune. But seeing them have a good time, it was refreshing to see the pair just enjoying the day too. When they spotted her, she waved at them. It wasn't long that they realized she wasn't dress in her normal clothes, but dressed more casual than before. It dawned on the pair she was out with someone and saw from a distance Noire. B-Sha looked to C-Sha to say something and they hurried off, Neptune cock her head why they seem in such of hurry.

"I'm back!" Noire's voice caught Neptune out guard as the Lastation CPU was back holding something behind her back, "Miss me?"

"A little." Neptune replied sheepishly seeing Noire was hiding something, "Found something you wanted?"

"Yes. Um, can you close your eyes first?" Noire asked, looking away with a blush look on her face.

"Sure." Neptune replied, closing her eyes and covering her eyes with her hands. A smile was on her face, wanting to see the surprise. It wasn;t long that Noire spoke again, her tone a little more nervous.

"You can open your eyes now," Noire asked and Neptune did as she told. In Noire's outstretched arms was a Noire doll, but it was designed different than the usual dolls. In the doll Noire's hair was pure white ribbons than the usual blue ones. The dress was a dress fitting something Noire would wear: flashy, fancy, and stand out well. The design white and black, the cuffs white ad lacy and wearing a necklace with the Lastation symbol on it. White boots and black leggings were last on the doll as Noire put into Neptune's hands, "I, I heard they made a doll with this dress and I want you to have it. So, when we have to work in our nations and are busy, you can think of me. Do-do you like it?" she asked, looking back still blushing. Her question was answered by Neptune hugging her, the doll pressed between the two.

"Thank you, I'll treasure it, promise." she said hugging the taller girl tightly.

Noire chuckled, patting Neptune on top of the head, brushing her hair, "Thank you, Neptune."

"Thanks for the help you three." Blanc said, grabbing some of the papers from her work desk and place them in a pile. While the Twins and Rabendā were playing games together, Blanc was getting through paperwork with Uni, Nepgear and Uzume helpingg her. Both Candidates were kicking their feet from the ground, their shoes off as Uzume was sitting at desk too. With them was Blanc's Oracle Mina Nishizawa. She was a tall, light skinned girl who has very long milk-blue hair worn in low pigtails held with big orange-yellow circled pieces with short bangs. Her eyes wee dark blue with a red square pair of glasses in front of them. Mina has the appearance of a graduate student, wearing a short white dress under a red, long jacket like robe worn open with gold lining and buttons. The sleeves puff below her elbow and have long cuffs, while at her neck is a collar and red bow with a golden badge. A matching graduate hat is on her head with two long white tassels on opposite ends, while she also has a pair of see-through, frilled stockings and red heels.

"No problem, it's better than nothing, plus between Neptune and Noire are now dating, I hope to have more room without Neptune sitting around doing nothing." Nepgear said and scanned one of the paper, so how's that big project you plan to out stage even Vert going?"

"Good, Vert's going on and on about 'Project Scorpio' and about it changing the gaming world, but so will I have. Just need to fine tune the console first. I plan fr it to sell like hot cakes, and what's Vert gonna do, she has to demand Noire for RPGs like that big game coming out. I mean, she may have have the tits, but tits won't save you for long." Blanc said with smile on her face.

"Whoa, looks like we gotta step up our game too. Noire's getting into the VR scene, can't wait to try it out." Uni said excitedly, "What about you two, any projects?"

"Well prior to Rabendā being born, it's just me and Gearsy doing all the thinking, not Nepsy. We haven't decided outside going third party right now, we do want to bring out that Japanese Mafia game out soon." Uzume explained to everyone.

"Don't forget that sand box style game, I've been wanting to play it's new game for a long time!" Nepgear added excitedly.

"It's a shame Vert will always try but she needs to be careful trying. Then again, we are lucky she doesn't have a Candidate, imagine how it'll be?" Mina asked. The girls all laughed, anything made my Vert or born in Vert's nation is dangerous to be around. Plus it flirting with either of them wouldn't be great.

"Just hands off my sister, getting her back for that last thing. That perverted bastard, why did she dress my sisters up like that?" Blanc asked irritated.

"Lady Vert does do strange things, I'm certain she take advantage of me if I wasn't ready." Nepgear said, remembering being alone with the CPU when Kurome remade the world.

"That fact her other self tried to claim you and then tried to claim Peashy, she's desperate sometimes." Uni said, but her tone was still irritated that Vert would do such a thing.

"The CPUs in that dimensions have such a strange though process sometimes if she did that or Noire trying to get Planeptune in trouble." Mina admitted shaking her head.

"Tell me about it, had to endure the hell and years with them. It wasn't fun or what Plutia did to me." Nepgear said, shuddering about her treatment in that dimension.

"Can I paralyze Plutia if she took it, because that's gone too far if she gave IF trauma," Uni said before looking solemn at the candidate, "It sucks that you were treated badly, even after saving our world, but Neptune and them took you for granted. Sorry for that and being a little rude to you when you came back. Sorry you went through that."

"That's okay, I got over it and shouldn't let my sister leaving behind, I don't know what came over me then. Like I was completely out of character for no reason," Nepgear sighed before patting Uni on the head, "But glad to are standing up for my treatment Uni, thanks."

"No problem, I mean you-you like me right?" Uni asked, blushing a little. Nepgear cock her head, confused on what she said.

"I'm sorry, did I say that?" she asked back and Uni scowled at her.

"Okay, now you're just screwing with me now." she responded to the Candidate. Nepgear smiled and pecked Uni on the cheek, starting her and Uni's face was completely red. Nepgear giggled, nuzzling her cheek and still smiling.

"Every time." she said and Uzume, Blanc, and Mina watched the two with smiles on their faces

"Now that's cute of Unisy and Gearsy, how come it took Rabsy to get them together?" Uzume asked looking to the Lowee Residents.

"Well Uni isn't no saint from how I heard she usually trests Nepgear." Blanc pointed out only for Uni took look back.

"I can hear you Blanc, I'm not that bad you know!" Uni retorted.

"Denial is strong, don't get cute now because Nepgear accept your feelings finally." Blanc smirked, making Uni growl at the Lowee CPU. Mina and Uzume laughing at Uni, who was even more red with anger. A knock on the door caught the girls' attention and a familiar voice spoke from behind the door.

"It's C-Sha, can we come in Blanny?" the woman's voice asked, and Blanc spoke out towards the door.

"Sure, come on!" Blanc called out. The door opened and three of the Gold Third came into the door: C-Sha, B-Sha, and another woman beside them. She has spiked platinum-silver hair and blood-red eyes. She wore a dark gray tank top with gold accenting and a dark brown belting below the chest. Her lower half consists of dark gray shorts with a white, gold, and black split skirt on top of it held by a dark brown belt with a black sphere in the middle of a gold ornament. Attached to the skirt is white and gold material with crimson coloring inside. Her shoes are a pair of dark brown and gold boots that end a few inches above her knee. On each hand is a dark brown and gold glove with a black holed sleeve for her right arm and wrapping on her left. She has a simple earring on left ear. She was S-Sha, who took over Leanbox by Kurome's world change.

"S-Sha, B-Sha, C-Sha, good afternoon!" Nepgear waved, looking to the women.

"Hey Gear, how's going?" B-Sha waved to the Candidate.

"What's up, you guys are usually busy and traveling to visit." Mina said seeing the Gold Third members, "Oh and it's nice to finaly meet you, I'm Mina, I am the Oracle of this Nation."

"Nice to meet you too, so what's up with Nep-Nep in Midgar looking like she's on a date?" C-Sha asked, and everyone wondered on explain this to them.

"How to explain... Yes Neptune is on a date and yes you saw her in Midgar. Mina, can you brew us some coffee? We might need to catch themup to speed on what happened yesterday." Blanc ordered to her Oracle. Mina nodded, leaving the room to brew tea. Once Mina left, Blanc looked to everyone and gestured the Gold Third members to sit down. It wasn't long Mina came back to the room with tea. Once Mina served the tea, Blanc went into detail of what happened the past two days. They explained the new CPU Rabendā who was born from Neptune and Noire's share energy at their max. It never occurred to them it was possible for that to happen, but it's a rare occurrence that happened, especially since the last new CPUs born was the Candidates years ago. So far everyone is going to help take care of her and train her as a CPU and Neptune and Noire are not a couple to help raise their new child. It surprised that those two were now a couple.

"I always thought Nep-Nep and her seem like couple material, but didn't expect it to be real." B-Sha stated to the group.

"But to think they gave birth to a new life in such a unorthodox manner, so unlike them, but feels like them in away. But from how Nepgear explained as well, it's not like intercourse can make it happen again or even happen. It's not like it works the same way." S-Sha said crossing her legs and sitting properly.

"So Rabendā is their kid, so both Nations has a new CPU in a sense. If no one else knows outside your group, no one in any of CPU Nations knows that a new CPU is born, they would only feel it in a strange sense." C-Sha said taking a sip of tea, "But there is something that's gonna bother me. No one knows that they have a child, and I'm 100% no one knows they are dating outside onlookers."

"What you asking about?" Uzume asked curiously.

"K-Sha doesn't know about this." B-Sha said looking concerned, "And K-Sha's personality isn't very stable for knowing this."

"What?!" Uni shouted, hearing K-Sha's name and remembering how K-Sha acted and how she almost tried to kill her.

"Uni, what's wrong?" Nepgear asked and at the same time, Rabendā, Rom, and Ram were coming to the doors and heard Uni's voice and hide themselves from sight of everyone to listen into their conversations.

"K-Sha's personality is terrifying, she tried to kill me because I was close to Noire. I knew she liked Noire, but what will happen if she sees them?!" and everyone look to Uni's face and saw terror in her face.

"K-Sha really is trying to be a normal High School girl but a lot of her upbringing, her personality when she holds a gun, it's dangerous to let loose. I thought we were over with it when were used by Kurome, but looks like K-Sha hasn't fully changed. She did make those fake articles with AffimaX members saying her and Noire are a couple or that Noire likes girls. Of course, she does now since she and Neptune are together. But if she sees them together, who knows what she'll do to Neptune." C-Sha said and then Rabendā gasped, running into the room in panic.

"Someone's gonna hurt Mama Neptune?!" she shouted, everyone looking to see Rabendā coming into the room in a panic. Everyone look to see the young CPU was in the room, Rom and Ram following suit, wondering why Rabendā just ran inside.

"Rabendā?" Nepgear asked seeing her.

"So that's the new CPU Rabendā, she really looks like Neptune and Noire." C-Sha pointed looking at her.

"What's going on, who is this K-Sha girl, why she going to hurt Mama Neptune?" Rabendā asked, her face looking worried for her mom now.

"We don't know Rabendā, but this is a worry when it comes to her. She's a nice person, she becomes a complete Yandere when it comes to Noire, it's scary. I wouldn't want Neptune hurt but..." Rabendā then look away and started to run out the room, shocking everyone to see her run off

"Rabenda!" Uni shouted.

"I'm going to to make sure Mama Neptune isn't hurt, Auntie Uni! Someone is going to hurt my Mama, I have to warn her!" Rabendā shouted by before Nepgear took hold of her arm.

"Rabendā, it's dangerous, you have no idea how dangerous K-Sha is, she's powerful and I know she and the gold Third all have power of their Gold Form. Look, I'm sure my sister and Noire will be okay." Nepgear assured her but Rabendā still wasn't worried, she still wanted to go.

"I don't care, what if she hurt her badly? I don't know who K-Sha is or what a Yandere is, but I don't want Mama Neptune hurt. I only just met her, I-I don't want to lose her so soon!" Rabendā said and everyone saw her eyes watering. She was concern and it was understandable, even Rom and Ram were worried too. Nepgear out a hand to her niece and embraced her.

"I get it, I get what you mean. This is your new family, you don't want to lose them. Okay, let's go together if you are worried Rabendā." Nepgear said and held her close.

"T-T-Thank you auntie Nepgear, T-Thank you..." Rabendā sad through her tears. Nepgear let her, taking her by the hand. She looked to the Gold Third, Uzume, Blanc, Uni, and Mina ready to get going to hopefully make sure Neptune and Noire were safe. Nepgear sighed, holding her niece's hand now.

"Everyone, sorry but Rabendā needs to make sure Neptune and Noire are okay. I'll take her to Lastation now." Nepgear said to everyone.

"Will you be okay? K-Sha isn't a laughing matter, controlled by Kurome or on her own, she's not laughing manner even when we fought er months ago. Just," Uni step closer to Nepgear, her face looking more serious, "You better come back in one piece, you hear me? I know K-Sha is a good person, but I don't anyone hurt because of her jealously. You better get back here with both Neptune, Noire, and my niece alive and well, got it?"

Nepgear smiled, putt a hand to the twin tailed Candidate, smiling to her at her, "Promise," she looked to Rabendā, taking hold of her hand, "Let's go, I'll fly as fast as we can to Lastation and track them down. I won't let Neptune or Noire get hurt!"

"Thank you Auntie Nepgear, I really appreciate it!" Rabendā said happily before looking Rom and Ram sadly, "Sorry guys, I won't be able to play Mario Kart next until I'm certain Mama Neptune is okay."

"It's okay!" Ram said happily.

"You make sure your family is okay, we understand. Just get back soon so we can play more!" Rom said excitedly with her soft voice.

"I will, Auntie Nepgear, let's go!" Rabendā said to her aunt. Nepgear nodded and the two ran out the room. Everyone looked back to each other, wishing they could go along with them, but this was family troubles and while Uni should make sure K-Sha doesn't lose it on Neptun, Nepgear was strong enough to handle this for now. Mina took Nepgear's teacup and put it away, everyone wondering what will happen next.

"K-Sha's a dangerous one, it won't be just Noire dating Neptune is a problem, but what if she finds out that's their kid?" S-Sha suggested and the room ran cold with silence again. Uni step to the window with no answer, putting her back to the windowsill and look to see Nepgear and her niece running out the Basillicon. Her concern turned to what S-Sha said, would K-Sha really hurt Rabendā too? She clutched her chest, the guilt of now running to help Nepgear and her was building. They will get back, right? It's just K-Sha right, nothing will happen badly right? Uni frowned felt crestfallen, seeing them go off and feel like she should go with them.

"Be safe, the both of you.'

Neptune and Noire were still hugging for a long time, no one really paying the two CPUs were still hugging, it was like they were in their own little world. Neptune felt like she didn't want to let Noire go, and she meant it, no teasing reason to touch her, just want to be near her. She nuzzled closer to Noire, not wanting to end, even if they finally broke their hug. Then a voice spoke up, Neptune breaking out her happy moment to know that voice.

"Noire?" the voice was slightly shy and almost hurt from saying her name. The two girls finally broke apart to see a familiar face looking at them. She had turquoise eyes and medium length gray hair held by a red headband. She had straight cut bangs and wears the longer hair before her ears in thin braids. Her outfit is composed of a short dark gray dress with a black belt accented by gold. On top of this is a red and white dress resembling a school uniform with gold buttons and a four-tailed bow of goldenrod with a red K in the center. The dress is split from the chest down to the bottom. Two red ribbon tails can be seen sticking out from the bottom of her dress. On her wrist is a red and white bracelet on a black band with a white K on the top. She wears black socks with white miniature boots with a black band across the toe and red strings. It was K-Sha, member of Gold Third and in her arms was goodies from the festival?

"K-Sha, hey I didn't know you were in Midgar! How are you doing?" she greeted, keeping her cool. Neptune was shocked, Noire wasn't embarrassed, what was with her, "Sorry I haven't talk to you much, been busy with stuff you see."

"I see, is that stuff embracing Lady Neptune in a festival?" she asked, and Noire looked to Neptune who held the doll in her arms now.

"Well you see, it's a very long story. I mean we weren't really that long here, just got here not so long ago, he he." she responded nervously, now her calmness was fading now.

"You said you wouldn't date girls or high School students did you not?!" she added, making Noire flinch and Neptune to take a double back at that? Did she really say that before, how long was that before liking girls and dating her?

"I-I was upset you were spreading rumors we were lovers, I didn't really mean any of that. Okay, I didn't really know if I liked girls until yesterday!" she retorted nervously, holding out her hands in defense.

"Then why are you hugging Lady Neptune, you never looked so happy with Lady Neptune than with me! Even when, even when I helped you, even when you saved me from delusion... I thought maybe... maybe you return my feelings one day, why... why are you with Neptune?! What she got that I don't got?! Answer me Noire, tell me why!" she screamed, everyone's eyes on the two CPUs and K-Sha now and what seems to be fight going on.

"K-Sha..." Noire said softly, feeling awful now. She didn't know she was going to upset with her relationship with Neptune, if she had told her, she wouldn't be upset now. Neptune step forward, trying to stop this before K-Sha gets upset more. It looks like she wasn't liking she and Noire were together, maybe ty to air this out before people got hurt.

"Hey, it's not like that. We are just hanging out, I mean I know we look like a couple, but it's just our first date K-Sha, it's not like I'm stealing Noire from you," she assured the Gold Third member but thought, 'I hope she can understand, I don't know how to handle these kinds of things seriously before.'

"Shut up!" K-Sha snapped making Neptune jump, "Why she pcik you of all people? Is it because I'm no CPU or special to her, because I don't know her as long you do, what makes you special Neptune?!

"Nothing, I'm just me. Noire pick me, it's not like I took something from her." Neptune assured her again, and K-Sha's face snap into a blush.

"L-l-l-l-l-l-like a kiss or something more?" she asked, making both girls turn red at that. They only kissed, for what hey don't know how long, they were sure they never went farther than that. Neptune scarth her cheek nervously and trying to find the write world to this.

"Well we kissed, but I don't think we went father. But look, I wouldn't be Noire's first for a long time!" but all K-Sha heard was kiss and that sent spiraling into anger. Her eyes turn dark, Neptune realizing she said something bad and Noire feeling like this wasn't going to be pretty, even if Neptune was speaking truthfully. K-Sha looked down, her body shaking and Neptune hearing words she couldn't understand from the girl. He held out her other hand to try and comfort the Gold Third Member, but then K-Sha looked up at her and Neptune saw pure hatred in those eyes.

"You took her first kiss, you took her kiss, you took first kiss, you took her first kiss! What lease did you take from me?!" she shouted, her twin Uzis summoned into her hands pointing violently at Neptune, "I hate you, I hate youvfor taking Noire's first from me!" And she fired, two bullets fired from her guns. Neptune was frozen in shock to now move not realizing she was going to be shot.

"Neptune!" Noire called, pushing Neptune to the ground, the doll she gave the shorter CPU was flying out Neptune's hand as she saw the doll for just a moment and saw the two bullets shot it, one through the stomach and one through the head. Neptune's eyes were horrified, seeing the present Noire gave her shot as she came crashing to the ground. Noire had protected her, but at what cost as her present shot at by someone she thought was a friend.

"Neptune, are okay?" Noire asked, holding on to Neptune before getting up and look to her friend, "What the hell K-Sha, are trying to hurt someone?!"

"Noire, out of the way, this is between me and Neptune, don't interfere!" she shouted to the CPU.

"It matters to me, you tried to shoot Neptune I can't let you hurt someone you know!" Noire retorted, "K-Sha, I thought you were my friend, why are you trying to hurt my friend like this. Say sorry to Neptune, right... Neptune?" she turned around, Neptune wasn't on the ground but holding the doll in her hands. Noire saw the bullet wounds, even if weapons like swords or guns don't do real damage to CPUs or those like Gold third or their friends, it would have hurt. But what surprised Noire was hearing Neptune was crying, actually crying. It was like yesterday when Neptune cried, this was her crying again. Neptune hug the doll in her arms, crying as Noire held out a hand to her.

"Nep... tune?" she asked but something snap, she could feel it the surge of share energy coming from Neptune. Was Neptune angry? Neptune turned around and never before Noire saw those sweet eyes look so scary.

"You... you careless... complete and utter... BITCH!" Neptune roared and let out a strong surge of share energy that everyone could see a tower of purple energy from a distance. Even in Planeptune, Histore could feel it, it was troubling her, like she never felt such a spike before. Uzume all the way in Lowee could feel it, and something told her it was Neptune making that energy spike. As Nepgear and Rabendā were out of the city, they could feel it, and it felt like a powerful surge of share energy.

"I'll make you pay.. I'll make you pay for taking that from me, K-Sha, you're toast!" And without delay, Neptune's katana summoned in her hands as she leaped into the air to cry out in auger.

"Neptune, wait! Stop!" Noire cried out, but it was too late,.Neptune couldn't even hear her as the CPU was ready to make K-Sha regret shooting the gift. As Nepgear and Rabendā were trying to get to Lastation in time, as everyone could feel that surge of power. The fight between Neptune and K-Sha was beginning.

Neptune and Noire's date is cut short when K-Sha makes her move. Neptune's age, and her own daughter will end up in the Crossfire. Nepgear and Rabendā must make haste quick

Next Time: A Goddess of Two Nations: Rabendā

Chapter 4: A Misunderstanding of Bullets and Swords! Neptune vs K-Sha

Michael: and finally chapter three, sorry for the slow uploads, finally back to trying to type everyday at a new place, but have until night fall it closes so hopefully to be have a better update pattern than before. I have Persona, Kingdom Hearts, a project that I can't say on this chapter because I share my stories with my friends, and Fairy Tail but will wait until I have the Collections before I get back to Fairy Tail stories. Pokemon, now with the anime finished with Black and White and XY, will just get the DVDs to those seasons, it'll be easier. So will get my newer projects and Kingdom Hearts my top priority right now.

So this chapter, I think I had several endings for this, in fact originality the fight with Neptune and K-Sha was going to be in the next chapter, this chapter was going to end with Neptune and Noire going back to Noire's Basillicon where Neptune spends the night there and the chapter after it opens with Noire cuddling with her as Neptune slept. Rabendā wasn't going to get involved with this fight in my original plan for this, she was going to watch, there was actually more fun going on with Rabendā losing so much and in a corner of shame, but scrapped that idea and had more hinting to why she uses in battle, hence the interest in Lucina in Smash Brothers. So my end result was Neptune losing her shit over K-Sha shooting a doll and now going to lay into K-Sha for ruining their date and destorying the doll. I mean I don't think anyone portrayed Neptune mad at anyone, they usually portray her happy, silly, lazy, perverted, never piss off. It was tough to think what to have her say that's not too out of character, so bitch seem okay because she's distraught now, her emotions are unstable right now. As for the location, it wasn't as open as here was. Festival vs a sidewalk, I think this was better. And yes, I had to make sure to bring Noire saying that in Victory 2 that she was getting those rumors of her liking girls or dating a High School student. Since now her words are now untrue, K-Sha might be thinking Noire is lying now. A lot of misunderstandings and it's not going to help the more she learns during the battle.

Now for the Uni x Nepgear fluff, having fun with their development, having me sweet and fun and innocent (compared to the mini Neptune x Noire vibe people do with them and no development as a couple on their own. So with them they ease up on their development, and with Neptune and Noire they get more time to grew more without jokes or pointless teasing. Teasing is only good if there's a good chemistry between them, actual chemistry not anything silly or stupid. There's a reason some couple, canon or crack, get flak. So want to focus on development, no joking around. As for Rabendā, I will show her training, so don't expect any Sue mode from her outside showing her potential next chapter. Also I think I didn't introduce Chika yet, so I'll try to have her talk a little too. I think after this, I'll go to working on the Chapter layout for the second arc of this story where Koei is introduced, those chapter have more chilled feeling with a trip to the mountains for a quest, a beach trip, and then then the first appearance of the villain of this story Tecmo. But everything is still about Rabendā growing as a character and a CPU.

Not much to say or bring up, it'll be awhile to see the next chapter, as it's mostly going to be fighting and talking from the other characters and don't worry, I like K-Sha I'm not going to destroy the first real friend Noire got, but the outcome for this fight will surprise you, I'm sure you'll never see it coming.

Also I will say thanks for all the follows and Favorites, as I don't care much about being popular, It's nice people do like this. Thanks and I'll see you in the next update.

One last thing, rest in peace to Linkin Park Singer Chester Bennington who passed away yesterday when I was getting through this chapter. Linkin Park was a part of my childhood for the AMVs, so a great loss.

See you next time
