17. Chapter 16: A very long day

[8-14]

{Warning. This is a very long chapter due to we forgot to remind ourselves where the beginning of the chapter was. Think of it is a new years deal.}

Chapter 16 - Nepgear's POV

I slowly blink awake feeling someone snuggle into me. I look down and see Uni. I grin. She has been sleeping more lately. I untangle myself from her grasp making sure not to wake her up. I then head downstairs to see Emma err Neptune cooking. "What's on the menu?"

She sighs before answering me. "Bacon and eggs today. Getting out of bed with several people and not waking them is hard. Your lucky you just have to deal with Uni in the morning."

"Let me guess you were under a dog pile weren't ya."

Neptune's shoulders sunk a bit at that. "That's only the half of it. Selene and Lucy clung to both my arms and their hands...Let's just say they are still perverts in their sleep."

I giggle. I look around real quick to see if there was anyone there. Once it was confirmed there wasn't I asked. "When are you going to reveal yourself to everyone sis?"

"Abby sent me a letter with the person delivering my new combat suit. Basically were going to have a cross dimension sumit in a few months or weeks and if I want I can reveal myself to everyone then. Sounds like the best time to do it. And I'll have Abby and Selene to help out if the rest want to pick a fight. You still going to the meeting today?" She asked me and I nod I have to try to save Abby if I can I don't want to lose a close friend.

"Yes I am. I do want to try to save Abby if possible."

"Suit yourself. But if I know one thing. Where there is death there will always be death. You may delay it but it will still happen. It may be fate that it happens. But it's important you don't tell them anything. It may sound cruel. But it's better if one person dies rather than many. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Neptune tells me coldly it hurts my heart to hear this but this is a painful truth.

"I know but it is still painful to deal with."

Sis actually laughs after I say that. "You sound like your her big sister almost. That's almost something I'd say back then. Too bad you didn't meet her when she was younger she was a real wild child back when I first meet her. Those were very different times here."

"You've changed Sis. I don't know if it's good or bad. You have changed this place up so much in the process though." I say with a sad smile.

"Yeah for better or worse. We all have our scars some more than others. I've changed some things up a bit hopefully for the better. Things happen when you grow up and do things you never thought you'd do. Just promise me you wont change too much Nepgear. Both as a mother and a big sister. Though your already more independent." Neptune tells me as she moves the food onto plates taking a bite of bacon as she did so.

"I kinda had to change when you disappeared on everyone. Even after all these years. I'm still not used to being a CPU." I say picking up a plate.

Neptune shrugs as she continues to cook. "Try talking to with the CPU's here they didn't start out as CPU's here. Abby became one during the Leanbox Civil war. Not a good time. Stayed out of that. They'd be able to help you out with that. They were almost like you cute and walked onto the balcony naked for the world to see." I blush at that as I made her promise to never mention that again!

"I-I-I Th-Thought that should never be brought up again!" I said pointing at her.

She smirks at me as she continues to cook. "Oh you forgot crossies. Besides I still have the pictures. Well some of them. People paid good money for them. Your nudes selled for quite the pretty penny." I wasn't sure sis was joking with the mention several people may be owning naked pictures of me.

I turn a deep red. "You're joking aren't you?" I ask cautiously.

Sis's smirk only broadened. "Is Iris heart a sadist? Then yes yes it is. Heck I even gave Uni one as a gift if you think I'm joking. Also I made thousands of copies so good luck getting them all and the download site. Just don't tell Abby her agents could possibly do something about it."

Before I could get another word out someone interrupted me. "This bacon I'm smelling?"

"Yup and we are going to have a surplus today just have a plateful for now till everyone is served though knowing how much some people can eat." Sis said to this random person as I turn to look at them.

I see Lucy wearing a baggy shirt and sweats. She snatches a plate. "You know you should double my portion right." She says holding her plate up at sis.

"Sure sure." Sis says as she doubles the amount of bacon on Lucy's plate I lean in close to whisper into Sis's ear. "Hey sis should we tell her Abby's going to die today?" Neptune was going to answer but Lucy managed to hear me even though I was whispering.

"Going to die today?" She asked with an eyebrow raised and in a tone that demanded answers.

"Y-Yeah we were told by someone that s-stumbled back in time t-that Abby was going to die today." I tell her stumbling my words abit in slight fear.

She then gives sis a look but she didn't seem fazed by it and she kept eating. "And why didn't you inform me?" She asked sis.

"One I was feeling lazy. Two we just found out about it last night. Three didn't feel like it was that important. Four I didn't think you actually cared that much about her I mean you didn't even know she existed at all till recently. I'm pretty sure she could have died and it won't have brought a single tear to your eye. One would think if you actually cared you'd check on your kids every now and then." Sis in her signature mocking slash jackass tone not giving a damn. I actually think she meant that to hurt Lucy a lot. Which judging by the fact Lucy is about to cry I think she hit home.

I look in shock at her. "How can you say that?" I ask in disbelief.

"What? Too cruel no no no that was nice I can be worse so much worse. I can count several times Abby could have died or I could easily have killed her. Oh yeah I know about that little try but she can't come back if I kick that sword away and drain her of her blood. Heck that did almost happen during the Leanbox Civil war when she got captured and tortured by the radicals. Weren't there either to save or comfort her. Still have the tape around here somewhere maybe I should show it to you so you can see how much you failed your family. Heck I've already murdered her once. It was so satisfying to see her struggle to cling to life. Oh how her fear and desperation filled my heart with excitement and pleasure seeing her suffer. If Only I knew what I did now I'd make sure to bleed her out and watch as the wild monster feasted upon her. And guess what you wouldn't have lifted a finger. Because talk all you want but when it comes to action you don't do jack not even training them." Sis said each word to Lucy's face as she began to cry as the words cut deep into her heart. This was going too far.

"That's going too far and you know it." I say pointing a finger at her.

"Am I? She hasn't even said a single word in defense. She knows she has enemy's some would love to have at her kids. But I think all she cares about is having kids and once they bore her off to the wolfs to them. Explains mostly why she didn't give a shit about Plutia or her kid until they became relevant again. As long as it satisfies her own want it has importance but the moment it doesn't it's below trash. That's the real reason you jumped me right? So you can have another baby to amuse yourself with before casting it away just like Plutia since she outgrew the cute stage and moved out. Your so self centered I'm surprised anyone even believes or follows you. Your a trash tier goddess and an even worse person." Neptune says with venom in her voice taking another stab at Lucy's heart.

I just keep looking at her in disbelief. "There is something wrong with you. You've never acted like this before."

"Before is relative you know it's been years since you've actually known me. But since I've wrecked miss slutty mic fucktoy mom over there into a crying mess how about I have some fun bringing you down?" She says turning to me as Lucy continues to cry.

"You've always been obsessed with machines what's to stop you from turning your kid into one. You'd likely be a piss poor mom anyways given you suck at doing anything without help. Sure you might have Uni but she's going to be busy too. After all that's why your making her have the child since she can actually handle having a kid. Face it other than machines your absolutely useless. You probably had a body pillow of me for 'emotional stability' give me a break. If you can't even handle a bad day then you'd just fail at being a mom. When people need you the most you fail them. You failed me, your going to fail Abby and your baby. Your better off just running away and leaving this all to Uni otherwise you'd be a burden on her. You can barely take care of yourself with her help. Just face facts sis. You. Are. Useless. Nothing more than a burden one everyone you love." Those words crushed my heart and soul. I'm worthless and I just hurt everyone in the end..Maybe I should just end this then everyone can move on and be happy. They'll be better off without me dragging them down.

It's so simple just a stab to the heart and everyone's burden is gone. Just one simple strike and I'll free them from my curse.

Tears swell up in my eyes. She is correct. I should disappear. I get up to leave the room when Uni walks into the room. She freezes when she looks at both me and Lucy. "What is going on here?"

Sis just smiles at her like nothing happened. "Oh nothing I was just telling them mean jokes and they took it too hard. You know how sensitive they can be. Just go back to bed it's nothing and your going to need a lot of rest for the baby to be healthy." I just look down and away part of me is glad she didn't tell Uni. She'd try to stop me. I don't need her to make this harder.

Uni grabs my face and looks me in the eyes. I couldn't keep it up and looked away. "From how she looks it was beyond a cruel joke and I believe I've slept long enough for now." She says then looking at sis.

"Eh that's your opinion not a fact. Go on ask her yourself and she'll tell you it was just me being me and joking around at their expense. Stick around and get breakfast if you want just don't wake up the kids." Sis tells her with a bit of a roll of her eyes.

"She's right Uni it was a cruel joke. I just need some time to myself now I'll be better after I get some fresh air." I say going along with what Sis laid out before attempting to leave this room.

Uni keeps a firm grasp on me. "Why are you acting so weird this morning? Something is off with you."

"It's nothing! Just leave me alone! I had a bad dream okay. Sis is just being her typical smartass self. I need sometime to myself okay. I need to take a shower. So can you please let go of me you crazy gun nut!" I all but snap at her just wanting to be left alone right now. I don't care how mean that was but Uni can't take a hint even when it's smashed into her damn face!

Uni doesn't let up but looks at Neptune and narrows her eyes. After a few seconds she says. "There's something wrong with your eyes."

"What? You do know I'm wearing contacts right Uni. Maybe those pregnancy hormones of your's are starting to mess with your head if your starting to act this weird over nothing." Neptune tells her trying to deflect the conversation off her. I start to wonder why Uni is focusing on Sis's eyes I'm sure it's nothing.

"Contacts shouldn't darken the whites of your eyes like that."

"Maybe it's the same thing that caused her CPU form to act more like a serial killer? Think it might be Negative energy still in her body possibly." I say in a hushed tone of voice barely audible.

So what she just said. Was it all due to that? Lucy then calms down enough for her to think. "Hey Emma. Can you lean over here for a second?" She says.

Neptune then leans where Lucy asked her to. "What do you want? Want me to remove my top too so you can get a better look at the goods?" Neptune says cheekily to Lucy give her chest a slight shake.

"I wouldn't mind." Lucy then grabs Neptune's chin and she kisses her. A light glow emitting from their lips.

We then see sis flash into a more 'Pure' version of Purple heart before turning into her human form. When it's done Sis's eyes are back to normal but she's slightly dazed.

She then holds her head and groans. "Why does it feel like I've been hit with Blanc's hammer."

"Because you were almost fully corrupted by negative energy. The withdraw hurts. Be thankful you don't turn into a airhead like Zoey does. Now we need a preventative measure so it's less likely to happen again. Now Emma I need you to hug me close to and kiss me. It need to feel like we pressing into each other." Lucy tells Neptune who has a curious look on her face but shrugs and does it.

"I can't believe I didn't notice it." I mutter to myself but Uni heard me.

"What was that Nepgear?" Uni says looking me in the eyes again.

"I can't believe I didn't notice it." I said a little louder.

"Guess you were to just shaken up to notice then Nepgear." Uni says calmly rubbing my back...She too good for me. I really don't deserve her at all...Even if Neptune wasn't in her right mind she was right. She just didn't have anything holding her back from saying it at the time.

"I'm going to get some fresh air alright."

"You alright? Your going to go to the meeting today Nepgear? You promised Abby that." Sis said to me showing a bit of concern for me but I ignore it I've already made up my mind. But she's right I still have something to do before I take the last step.

"Yes yes I am." Might as well do it.

Uni and Sis stares me before I leave the house and transform before flying off before they can stop me. I fly north till I spot the new Basilicom and land in front of the other three CPU's ,their Oracles ,and other companions. I can see Abby giving me a look of concern but I turn away from her gaze not wanting sympathy.

"When is the meeting going to start?" I ask untransforming.

"In about like half an hour? We usually wait for the staff to set everything up. Still not complete. Oh right I don't think you met our Oracles yet." Becky says to me before turning towards four people I haven't met yet.

"Hello. As you most likely know. I'm Nepgear. Hyperdimension's Planeptune CPU."

Soon one of the Oracles gave me a bow as she addressed me. She had medium length silky black hair and pitch black almost glossy eyes almost like glass. "It's a pleasure to meet you Lady Nepgear. I am Obsidian Selene's Oracle. As you may have already know I will be representing Lastation as my goddess is indisposed currently."

"That's fine with me. It's nice to meet you." I say offering my hand.

Obsidian took my hand and shook it. While the rest decided to introduce themselves.

The first one I guess the Planeptune one since she had mostly purple hair going from dark to light purple. "Hello I'm Agate. It's so nice to meet the other Planeptune's CPU. Your so cute! You have purple hair? Wow guess that's a signature of Planeptune. We're going to be such good friends!"

"Yeah the purple seems to be Planepatune's signature."

Rose just waved at me as I remembered her vaguely from the raids. While the one with dark blue hair spoke up. "Yes it does. Oh pardon my manners I'm Emily Sapphire an honor to meet you as I'm sure it is for the rest of my sisters here. You alright? I'm pretty sure those of Planeptune are usually very lively."

Abby then walks up and places a hand on my shoulder. "She's right you know. Are you alright Gears? Your acting odd. You want to talk about it or something?"

"I'm fine just had a bad morning." I say to reassure them and to try to get them off my backs.

Becky then pulls me into a boob hug. "Okay but if you ever need help or want to talk we'll be here for you I promise." I can't deny Becky's breasts aren't comfortable perhaps more so than Vert. But I just can't bring myself to enjoy them as Alex pulls Abby away. "Come on Babe it's almost time for the meeting to start! You promised me cuddles later."

I give Abby a nod. "Thank you." I say.

Abby shrugs. "It was nothing Gears. Now let head insid-" Abby began to say before a voice spoke up. "Why hello there trash. It seems I don't need to worry that much if all I need to worry about is a punch of kids." I look and see Arfoire grinning at us.

I looked at her a little shocked. "So you are really back." I say bringing out my sword.

The rest brought out their weapons as Arfoire laughed and charged us. We barely had time to react as she stabbed me in the side with her spear. She turned quickly and blasted Oracles away with an explosive fireball.

I managed to kick Arfoire back as Becky came down with her halberd. Arfoire moved her spear to block but the axe head broke through the shaft letting the spear tip cut Arfoire's chest. Alex came down on Arfoire with what looked like claws before someone blasted her away as Abby who used her wind magic to slow her velocity before catching her. Abby set her down and it looked like Alex was out as groaned in pain.

Abby gave the other two CPU's a nods as I felt myself getting sluggish from likely some type of poison Arfoire laced her spear with. Before I could blink Arfoire was trapped in prison of ice before it was shattered by a tornado lifting Arfoire into the air then a bolt of lightning hit the ice shards chaining between them to continuously shock Arfoire and judging by the screams she let it out it hurt like heck as the lightning and ice shard wounded her. Only for her to soon laugh through pain and turn the attack back on them cutting and wound Abby, Becky and Isabel.

"I'll give you this you managed to do a good number on me and if I was in my original form you would have killed me but as it is right now all that did was set me back a small magine." I watch in disbelief as her wound healed themselves like it was nothing before our eyes. I feel my heart sink as it hits me that we can hit her all we want and she'll just shrug it off.

I begin shaking as Arfoire stalked towards us with a sadistic grin on her face. I hear Abby let out a gasp of pain as she rips several ice shards out of her body. Before she made a mad dash towards Arfoire.

Arfoire only smirks cruelly as both her and Arfoire stab each other. Abby's sword stabbed into Arfoire's side while Arfoire's spear landed in the dead center of Abby's chest causing her to cough up blood before she grabbed Arfoire by her spear arm. Abby then began to say something in a language I didn't understand as the blood around them began to swirl like something out of a horror movie. Arfoire tried to pull away as Abby held firm and her spear dissolved into her arm covering it in a horrific red mass that be crawled all the way up to her shoulder and upper chest. Before it ended as Abby fell back still clutching her sword.

Arfoire screeched in pain clutch her arm. "THAT BITCH!" She shouted before she saw me not far away and grabbed a shard of ice before lunging towards me with the intent to kill. But then someone grabbed her by the throat and slammed her into the ground.

"Now now. There's enough death for today." I look over and see a young man with his back towards us.

Arfoire grumbles but relents. "They'll still will die sooner or later." I see the man look towards me as I feel someone start using healing magic on me. I may be wrong but it felt like he was gazing into my very soul before he turned back towards Arfoire.

"And that will be decided on another day. I didn't raise you back for nothing you know."

"Yeah yeah follow the plan I know. All I care about is causing them and my counterpart pain. As long as I can do that I'll follow your orders to the letter." Arfoire told the guy as she got into a kneeling position clutching her afflicted arm in pain.

"That is fine but remember. This is the only time I will help you in battle. The others are all on you."

"I know and I will be ready for then. Lets just leave before they get their second wind. Damn that bitch for placing this curse on me. At least she is dead now." Arfoire said before she flinched in pain from the curse? Doesn't matter I'm glad to see her in so much pain.

The guy looks at Abby for a second before his gaze goes over Bloodfang. He then smiles. "Let's get going than." He says placing a hand on Arfoire's shoulder and they disappeared.

"ABBY!" I look over and see Isabel rush over and cradle Abby's body in her arms crying. I feel a pain in my heart. I failed her. I failed someone again. I couldn't change anything,

'Do not worry. It wasn't your fault. It was just fate playing it's cards.' Whispered a voice. I look around to see who said it.

I didn't see anyone around me other than Rose who was healing me and I know that wasn't her voice. Which raised the question who was it?

"Was anyone else hurt?" I ask her.

"Nothing too serious that a bit of healing magic and bandages can't fix. My sisters are tending to the other CPU's now. We won't be able to do the meeting now with the protocols regarding attacks like this. Are you feeling better now. You got banged up there." Rose said to me giving me a concerned look. She reminded me a bit of what I'd thought a doctor would be like. Somehow her voice had a calming effect on me.

"I'm fine. I've taken worst hits than this." I look over at Abby with sadness. "It sucks things had to end this way though."

Rose follows my gaze to look at Abby. "Yeah Abby was my best friend well more or less only friend given she created me from a crystal from a cave but that's not important right now. She will be missed greatly. She got Leanbox out of our Civil war and made our military stronger. If Vert won't take back the mental of CPU it'll be up to either Linda or 5pb to fill the void. I'm not sure either of them could replace her. Abby was special. You just can't replace someone like her that easily." I flinch as I heard that. It sounded like Abby was one of a kind to the people of Leanbox. It reminded me of when I had to fill the void for Neptune when she left. It's hard to fill shoes like that.

"It's like when I had to step up after my sister disappeared. It was difficult then and it still is."

"I wish you luck on that. Well I'm about done patching you up. I'm so not going to volunteer to tell Plutia about this. You know that was Abby biggest wish was to have a family. She got her wish but its a shame she didn't get a chance to enjoy it." Rose tells me before she helps me to my feet.

"You're right. I don't want to tell Plutia either. Even before she me her mother she did still have a family. Emma and the other CPUs."

Becky then looks towards me while Obsidian bandaging her wounds. "Yeah your right about that. She always had us with her. I hunted with her a lot. That just makes seeing her go a lot harder."

"Did you know about the guy with her? I've never seen him before."

"Oh that was fucking Silver alright. Bastard got a good hit on me. I'll have to tell Lucy about this." Alex says as she limps over to Abby's body and Isabel.

"Who is this Silver?" I ask.

"Lucy's dad and one of three ancients I know well four but that one's a bitch. Anyway he's insanely powerful don't try to fight him. It won't end well. Just what the heck is he planning. Some weird test?" Alex said and that hit me hard did Abby did for some sick cruel test!?

"Why would he be doing a test? We've already beat Arfoire once here."

"Gauge how strong you guys are. And from what I saw he gave her some upgrades. And correction Emma disrupted the events of this dimension. The CPU's here never defeated her. As such never tested. She wasn't from here and interfered in this dimensions events. You defeated your Arfoire and were tested. It's a right of passage for most worlds." Alex tells us with a huff and a glare in the direction of sis house.

"Didn't people from this dimension finish her off. I've heard Emma weakened her but didn't kill her."

"She was a dead woman walking no fight left in her. Anyone with a sword or gun could have killed her. There was no challenge for them at all. Someone that has every problem dealt with by someone else will never learn how to stand on their own. Just look at yourself you always could lean on others for help always being supported and never underwent any hardships alone. Complacency breeds weakness, weakness breeds only death and suffering." Alex tells me her voice cold as ice. I stare into her eyes and my heart feels like its about to stop from how terrified Alex is making me feel. I don't how to react without sis. Everyone else usually has a plan. I just can't handle this. It's too much!

I sigh. "Your right. By the time I was born sis has already brought together everyone and we helped each other from then on."

"Yeah you see what I mean now. You and the rest of the next generation of your world have grown complacent with peace. You've never had to deal with any real conflict no hardships. You just road the easy bus. The only one that looks at least semi competent is the Lastation girl. And I'm guessing that's only cuz her sister was tough on her. You and the rest of your dimension have some serious thinking to do if you don't want to crash and burn." Alex tells me as she pats Isabel's should before picking up Abby's body. "I'll take this to Lucy see what what she wants done with it. Meet the rest of you back there when you got your heads on straight."

With that Alex began running off to Sis's place leaving me hating myself. I am completely useless only dragging others down. I'll just had somewhere in the middle of nowhere and end it. I took a dagger after all that nulls all healing magic. Should keep them from trying to save me.

I walk off when no one was looking and I walk outside. I do another look around to see if anyone followed me. When I saw no one I continued to walk outwards. When I was a good distance away I sat down in the field with the knife at ready. I then lift it up and with some hesitation, drove it into my chest.

I let out a gasp as the air left my lungs and my blood poured out. I hear someone scream and see sis with a horrified look on her face. She runs up and catches me as I fall back. I could feel her tears land on my face I can see her heart breaking as she see this wound was self inflicted.

She cradles me for a second. "This is my fault. Come on let's get you back to the house. Lucy might know something." She then picks me up in a bridal carry.

"There's no point. Just let me die." I say with all my energy gone. My vision fading.

Sis looks heart broken. "Hey come on now we need you. Nep Jr stay with me. Nepgear!" Was all I heard as I let death claim me. Now I'll no longer be a burden now.

Neptune's Pov

I cradle Nepgear's body in my arms her lifeforce having left her. I couldn't believe she would do this she never was depressed or suicidal. What caused this? I tried healing her but nothing worked. My sister was gone now by her own hands. I begin the slow trek back.

I could handle this better if someone I could kill was to blame so I could kill them but no my sister took her own life. And I have to live with that she's gone and if I had noticed sooner maybe I could have stopped with any of us could.

As I reach the backyard I see Uni waiting for Nepgear but her face soon turns pale as she sees Nepgear's limp body. "H-how, how did this happen. Don't tell s-she did this to herself Emma."

I just look at her sadly and she got the meaning. "Do you know where Lucy is?"

Uni freezes up and her eyes loose a bit of life in them. "She's inside laying on the couch. I, I need moment now to process this."

I walk to the house and kick the door open. I can fix it later. I walk into the living room. Gladly none of the kids were there. "Lucy. Is there anything you can do?"

Lucy takes a moment to look at Nepgear then at me. "She's dead isn't she? Well healing magic is out the window. I know one thing that can do the trick but she will never be the same again. Once this is done there is no turning back it will be permanent."

"Do as you must. What even happened there? I've only caught wind of something big going down."

"From what I know my dad is testing the CPU's here for some reason. It's likely only to go downhill from here for a while. Now I'm going to need to cut open Nepgear's chest to get at her heart. Hope your not squeamish." Lucy said before balling a fist and smashing Nepgear's ribcage a bit before taking out a knife and cutting her open. She then took out what I think is a hell stone ramming it into Nepgear's heart before the wounds on Nepgear's body healed and she began to convolus with a scream.

Her eyes turned blood red and the white's of her eyes turning to pitch black, her canines lengthening into fangs. I could hear bones popping and snapping into place. Her hair gained red streaks in it before she lunged at me. "KILL! KILL! KILL!" She shouted as she wrestled me to the ground bloodlust radiating from her.

I give her a swift punch into her gut so she lost her air in her lungs. I take the opportunity to flip her and wrap her up in a bear hug with her arms trapped at her side. "How long is this going to last?"

"Hmm maybe an hour or two. Should be no more than a day before she regains her sanity mostly. Just don't let her get a taste of your blood." Lucy tells me as Nepgear screams bloody murder while struggling in my arms.

"Got it. Can you get me one of em ball gags I have in my room?" I ask her. I wrap my legs around Nepgear's then. This shouldn't be too hard to keep up.

Lucy shrugs. "Sure but I never thought you were that kinky though. Be back in a sec." Lucy then runs off to get my quested item before Nepgear tries to bite me.

"Yeah good luck with that. You're stuck like this for awhile." I say to her.

Soon Lucy came back with one of my ball gags and she grabbed the one with breathing holes in it and was pink colored of course. "I got it want me to put it in her mouth? You know you have a lot of kinky stuff can't wait to let have Belial give them a try. She'd love testing them out."

I roll my eyes. "I only have them because Croire got them for me as a gag gift."

"Oh no it was a great gift. I'll be sure to give her idea for future ones. I know somethings to get you now. Open wide Gearsy!" Lucy then did her best to put in Nepgear's mouth and fasten it to her.

"Thanks. Can you explain what is happening to the rest of the house residents so they know why I'm restraining Nepgear here?"

A mischievous grin stretched across her face. "Oh yeah I'll be sure to tell them some real sis con stuff is going down. Don't worry they all suspected that was a thing for a while."

I just shake my head at her. "You do know we are laying on the floor of the living room right?"

Lucy smirks and whispers something before me and Nepgear's clothes glow and disappear only to reappear scattered on the other side of the room leaving us naked. "And now your naked in the living room good luck with them not believing me now see ya in a bit!" Lucy says as she skips away.

"How fucking dare you. I'm going to get you back for this!" I call out to her. I try my best not to look at Nepgear's body.

Keyword try as she backed into my body grinding her butt and back and since I was naked my sensitive areas felt the full brunt of it causing me to bit my lip to stifle a moan in the process. I ultimately failed an I think everyone heard me. This couldn't possibly get any worse.

I am so going to get Lucy back for this bullshit. "Can't you calm the hell down?" I ask even though she most likely can't understand me. This might pose as a problem now.

Nepgear only screams louder and struggles more which resulted in her rubbing into me more and then I see Belial standing not far away with a video camera. "Oh this is going to sell like crazy!"

"Fuck off you little shit."

"You know if you want her to calm down your going to need to fuck her. Your already naked so just plunge your fingers into her vagina and go from there. Unless you want to keep dealing with her like this." Belial tells me with a smirk.

"Are you fucking with me. Go get Uni for me."

Belial smirks sadistically at us shaking her head. "Nope she's sleeping right now and do you really think it'd be safe for her to get involved with this while she's having a baby? After all she could get hurt with Nepgear being so violent."

I growl at her. "Fine. Turn that damn camera off. Bad enough on what Lucy did."

Belial shrugs and presses a button on the camera and sets it down but if it was still recording it would get all the action still. Though it's a reasonable place to put it so I'll trust her for now. "There happy now?"

"Sure." I say as I unwrap my right arm from around her and I plunged my fingers into Nepgear's vagina. This is so fucking weird.

Nepgear stopped squirming to let out a moan but this was only temporary as she soon began squirming again till I moved my fingers around fingering her getting another moan. I kept finger for a bit till Nepgear broke my hold lust glazing her eyes as she began groping my breasts. I couldn't help but moan.

The same lust began to melt my self control as I grabbed her butt giving it a rub and a few squeezes. I only removed my hands temporarily to remove her ball gag before we both kissed full force not holding anything back now. The next ten minutes were a blur but when came to me and Nepgear were grinding are lady parts together before we both came together and I know for sure she was dominant during the entire time. I wasn't sure if we created a new life or not but I couldn't care as I came down from the lust filled high.

"Wa? What was that?" Nepgear said out loud snapping my functioning mind into gear about what I just did making me feel a bit dirty at doing it with my own sister.

"Uhhh. Many things." I finally get out after a few seconds.

"I thought I was finally dead and no longer a burden on any of you any longer." Nepgear says while crying into my breasts.

"Hey. You will never be a burden on anyone. Remember that. Hell I was a major burden on you when I was still in Planeptune."

"Yeah but that was most things not involving combat. When it came to combat you were like a shining star. Wait." Nepgear then looked down at our bodies as the smell of sex hit her nose and she blushes bright red. "D-did we actually do it together!"

"Blame Belial, Lucy, and your horny ass." I say with my hands in the air.

"EWW! Grose! Please let's not tell anyone about this every. I hope we don't have a kid from this." Nepgear all but shouted having a similar reaction to what I would have had.

"Too bad I got it all on tape. This is going to sell like crazy in the porn market. Actual sis con!" Belial tells us and both me and Nepgear pale a bit at this. I know I have no chance of fighting Belial at all. Well plan B then.

I take my handgun out of my inventory and shoot the camera through it's lenses. "Fuck that. Even then no one knows we are sisters anyways." Well most of the general public doesn't.

Belial shrugs and she scopes up the remains dumping it into her inventory. "Suit yourself but I can fix that with editing later. If the chip is still intact. Well the rest are coming back inside soon. Better get dressed you two."

I jump up and run over to my clothes throwing them on quickly. "I am so getting you back for this Belial." I say to her with a glare.

Nepgear managed to do the same right as Selene walked in straight towards me before giving me a kiss before pulling away. "Lucy tried telling us that some Siscon stuff was going down. I figured you'd be a bit frustrated so I gave that kiss to take your mind off things. Did it help?"

"Yes yes it did and I don't know why Lucy is trying to pull that kind of trick."

Selene shrugs kissing my cheek. "Likely to mess with you. Must be her way of handling grief is all."

"Grief? Did anyone die at the meeting today?" I ask making it seem like I didn't know Abby died.

"Abby's Oracle sent us here a text that they'll be bringing by her corpse. Lucy cried a lot saying something that's a crap grandmother." Selene told me and I wonder why Lucy would cry that much for show if it was for show.

"Abby died. Who did it? Was it that Silver person." This part I truly do not know.

"No it was Arfoire. Shame I wasn't there we could have used Grand Chaos on her. Still it sounds like they would have beaten her if she didn't have this healing bullshit. Though Abby placed some kind of nasty curse on her. Was causing Arfoire a lot of visible pain before she left. Abby sure did go down swinging." Selene told me and I let a ghost of a smile grace my face as that sounded like Abby alright not backing down till the very end.

"At least she went down swinging. So what stopped Arfoire from going after the others? I doubt that curse could stop her good enough to stop."

"She was going to stab me with a shard of ice since the curse destroyed her spear before the Silver guy stopped her. He seemed odd making Arfoire stop by just talking to her. He smirked at Bloodfang for some reason though." Nepgear tells me while rubbing the center of her chest uncomfortably.

I know why he was. I've barely found out myself. That sword will bring Abby back but the time it takes to do it is unknown. "Maybe it has something to do with it?" I bring the question up. I'll let everyone find out themselves.

"I wonder why? I've never seen the material it's made of before. Looks like red steel be I've haven't been able to even chip that thing. Whatever makes up that blade is some of the toughest shit around. Hurts like heck too." Selene tells us while rubbing her should her where Abby once stabbed her.

Yeah I know it hurts and I know it's one of the strongest things out there. I had abit of it on my old armour and I'm going to transfer it to the new one along with a few other upgrades. "Yeah there isn't much info about it either." I said.

"If I could get a sample of it I could try analyzing it. Hmm maybe Plutia knows where I can find some of it." Nepgear tell me and I instantly know that's a bad idea just getting a small amount. Took me awhile to find some and was almost not worth the risk getting that much. I grabbed what I could and ran.

"You can ask her about it but getting it is another thing entirely." I say hoping I didn't say too much.

Nepgear gives me an odd look but shrugs. "I'll just have to go and see."

"Alright. I don't know where Plutia is now. Her and S-sha said they were doing something."

"I'll have to wait or see if Rose knows anything. I wonder what she meant when she said she and her sisters were from the same cave? Where they made from gems? Hmm will they do have names that relate to gemstones." Nepgear said aloud as Becky walked in. Come to think of it I rarely seen the Oracles to begin with.

I've only taught them how to access the sharicites and how to do certain things and stopped messing with them. "Hello Becky. How are you feeling right now?" I ask her.

"Like shit. One of my best friends and hunting partner is dead. How else should I feel? Part of me is still trying to comprehend she's dead now. It just hurts knowing that she's gone. If only I was stronger I could have saved her. But that's only a possibility. Lucy is complete wreck she won't let anyone else touch Abby's body as she holds her close crying. I feel bad for her she just lost her grandchild from what I hear. I just wish there was something I could do to help." Becky says to us rubbing her arm and once again being so damn selfless like always.

I go over and pull her into a hug. "Hey. Don't try putting yourself down alright. She may have lost her life but she gone out the way she wanted. Protecting you all." I say to try to bring her back up.

"Yeah your right. She was always the strongest out of the four of us. Still doesn't numb the pain but it makes it more bearable. Thanks Emma. I'll probably go visit my mom later since she's good at comforting me but Lucy could really use you right now." Becky tells me while looking to the back door.

I let go of her. "I'll go and see her don't worry. She did just try to pull a bad prank on me."

"Well from what Uni told me you were sort of a major dick to her and Nepgear this morning. Brought both of them to tears I hear." Becky told me and this is the first I'm hearing of it as I can only remember the pounding headache and Lucy kissing me.

I rub the back of my head. "I really don't remember much of this morning to be honest. I only remember everything after Lucy kissed me and I had one hell of a headache."

"You berated us. You told us things that cut into our hearts. And striked are insecurities. You called Lucy self-centered, Stutty mic fucktoy mom, a trash tier goddess and an even worse person. And me useless and an burden on those I love. Those words drove me to committing suicide." Nepgear tells me her voice shaking a bit at the end.

I frown. "I did? I don't remember saying any of that." I then feel horrified. I somehow drove Nepgear into commiting suicide. This is the second time I've hurt her. Maybe I shall disappear again. Not now but at least when the new threat is dealt with.

"Lucy did mention something about you being corrupted. Just please don't leave me. Lucy said she had a way to help you with that. You leaving will only hurt me more. And what about your kids are you going to just abandon them?" Nepgear tells me as she began to cry and she's right about the kids I can't just up and leave anymore.

"Who said I was going to be leaving?" I said hugging her.

Nepgear cries into my chest. "Because, Because that's what you did last time you hurt me!"

"And I left so I wouldn't hurt you again. Yet." I trail off. I've hurt her yet again.

"And then you sacrificed your dignity to bring me back. We're both too hard on ourselves Sis. Come on let's go outside and comfort our lovers. Uni is going to hit me and Lucy needs cuddles." Nepgear told me as she began dragging me towards the outside and I couldn't help but laugh as this reminded me of old times.

"Fine fine fine." I say as I follow her.

When we get outside I see Lucy crying and holding Abby's body close to her own crying even though she should know what I know. And as expected Uni punched Nepgear in the face for dying on her.

I chuckle at that. I walk over and crouch besides Lucy and rub her back. "You do know this won't keep her down right?" I whisper to her.

Lucy whimpers and nods. "I know but it still hurts. I know I couldn't be there but I should have done something. Anything was better than nothing."

"Hey it's alright. You are pregnant also so putting yourself in risks won't be good." I said leaning into her.

"Thank you Emma. Speaking of our baby got a name for mine yet?" Lucy asks me with a playful smile. I haven't thought this far ahead for either of the two I knocked up yet.

"How about Topaz?"

Lucy moves one of my hands to her belly. "Topaz works and it fits in with the gemstone motif I wanted to set up in this dimension."

"Well it didn't start off to be gemstone names. Also you didn't do it with every sharicite." I am still purple heart even though my sharicite isn't the Planeptune one here.

"Well no duh your title will always be purple heart even if you transition to another one. Think of it like this. Plutia will always be Iris heart and Noire black heart. It's the universal standard for all of you. Turns out you four are sorta like a deluxe starter set. Most dimension come with you guys as the starting CPU's you know? Most have you. And more or less I started running out of gemstone names without getting repetitive. They can more or less choose their title going off of color. And I'm rambling aren't I?" Lucy says blushing a bit.

"Yes yes you are. Also I do find it weird that it's only Plutia and I that switch out as the starter ones." I say thinking about it.

Lucy gives Abby's forehead a gentle kiss before setting her down on the cloth she came wrapped in on her way here. "Well there are other's in the subcategory of colors but they are less common even some for seasons. I remember something about my mom meeting one called winter heart but she hasn't seen her in a long time."

"Alright. How long do you think it'll take her to revive this time?" I whispered. So no one else could hear.

"Judging from the damage to her body somewhere between one-three weeks. Most likely around one week but it's mostly random just depends out much damage her body has suffered. More damage longer wait for it to heal." Lucy told me in a whisper and it made sense more damage equals longer wait time till revival.

"It makes sense. It must have took her awhile last time when I was the one to kill her. I'll explain what happened later when there's no one around alright." I say wanting to come clean to her about it.

Lucy growls at me. "You better or I'll sick Belial on you. And she's even more sadistic than Iris heart when she wants to be."

"I can see that. Just call me whenever you want to hear about it later. Unless you want to go to somewhere private now?"

"We are going to talk somewhere private now with Belial since this is her grandchild we are talking about too. And if we don't like the answer you give us we'll punish you accordingly." Lucy tells me with a mother's wrath burning in her eyes.

I raise my hands in the air. "Do as you must. I'll let you pick the place." I say.

Lucy grabs my arm and heads inside. "Belial! We are heading to watchpoint two for an interrogation!" She yelled as Belial came down running.

"Interrogation eh. I don't think that's necessary." I sweat drop a little.

I soon feel and impressive weight on my shoulders as I feel fear for my life. "We'll be the judge of that depending on what you did. And you won't like it if I get mad. Now move that ass before I take a bite out of it!" Belial told me raising her voice a bit.

"Well I do not know where we are going if that helps any."

Belial smirks as she got in my face. "Then let's keep it that way." Was all I heard before a fist meet my face and everything went black. When I came to I was strapped to a chair in nothing but some sexy swimwear Lucy likely dressed me in for eye candy. This was a bit much.

"DIdn't I say this was unnecessary?" I ask looking around.

"Shut up it was totally necessary and we rarely get to use this place. Now you'll tell us what you did to Abby or I'm gonna shock your brains out when ever I feel like it." Spoke Belial from a speaker and from what I could tell they were in seperate room high above with bright nights shining on me. Wow they stole this scene from Call of Black Heart one.

"Fine. You're way over doing this though. But as Lucy already knows. I've killed Abby before. It was before she became a CPU. It was around the time I came into this dimension. I came out of the portal in the Black forest and I was attacked by her within a few minutes with her being in her feral form. After a small battle she stuck me through with her sword but I gave her several fatal blows in the process." I say calmly.

"In which one of them bisecting her from shoulder to hip. Then what you just left her there? You know Lucy I think she earned a shock to her happy place." Belial said before I felt a current of electricity hit my breasts which heart like crazy as well as a weaker one that hit my womanhood which hurt even more I could feel my eyes almost roll into the back of my head when it stopped.

Then I heard Lucy's sweet angelic voice. "Okay that's enough for now Belial. Anything else Neptune? Did you feel any guilt from doing that or shock when you saw Abby again?"

"Yes shock and a little guilt that passed over time. I did it in self defense. Also I still wasn't in the right set of mind. While yes I did leave her there. I went and got myself patched up and came back a few days later. Someone else got there first and got her. Which I found out was Vert later on."

"Understandable it was in Vert's territory. At least it was better than some other people even though I named the Pure Arfoire the good mother to all my descendants. Belial do not press the anal rape button. Your free to go know but come up here first I have something you should see." Lucy tells me as the straps undo themselves letting me get out.

I get up from the chair and walk over to the door. "Am I going to get a hint on what I need to see?" I ask opening it and going through. I really should keep a spare set of clothes on me in the future.

"It's involves a medical test that I ran on you when you were out Nep." Lucy tells me as I head in to see her holding a medical test sheet on a clipboard.

"Why would you need to do that? I am perfectly healthy right now."

"Making sure your fine so we aren't liable but as it turns out you have a plus one." Lucy hands me the clipboard and my eyes widen.

A frown decorated my face. I point at them. "This is both your fucking faults." I tell them. This means only one thing. I've been impregnated by Nepgear.

Belial shrugs. "Mostly my fault since I pushed it. But hey another win for Siscon." Lucy then smacks Belial on the back of the head.

I put my head in my hands. "This is fucking wonderful. You know what. I'm going to need a drink after this."

Lucy pats my back. "Come on I know a good bar that serves drinks that are safe for both of us."

I groan. "I don't want to go through this again."

Lucy sighs "I feel ya. The last part hurts like hell."

"Tell me about it." I grumble. "Alright the story we are going with is I got drunk and had a one night stand." I say.

"That works the bar I'm taking you to is really popular. Has good food and a hotel all in one. Just find a nice girl to spend the night with to make it more believable. I know I might check some out. Come on lets get going that outfit will grab some attention for sure." Lucy says grabbing a bag as she went.

"I'm only wearing underwear. Also Selene is going to be real pissed. I'd rather her think I slept with a stranger than the one I actually did."

"I'll just wear a wig then so they'll think I'm someone else and we share a bed. And from what I know about her you better be prepared for some shouting and a blow to the head. Yeah and your underwear is sexy so deal with it." Lucy says rummaging through her bag for some things.

I roll my eyes. "Even if you wear a wig everyone in the house know what you look like."

Lucy stops rummaging through her bag and sighs. "Damn it your right they'd know right off the bat. Well just go with someone your friends with or something like that."

"I don't even have that many friends and you know how I am in the bedroom." I groan. "I'll just impregnat the person and Selene will kill me."

"If anything Belial will keep her from killing you. Maybe we'll get lucky and you'll find a friend of your's like that cute redhead head you worked with a while back? Charlie I think her name was." Lucy tells me and I groan I keep neglecting to spend time with her. Though her does have the hots for me.

I rub the back of my head. I've been a dick so far and haven't contacted her. Hell I haven't even been contacted about my temporary workplace being repaired yet.

Lucy pulls my hand and smirks. "Good thing I've made arrangements already with her. She'll be at the bar serving some drinks. Oh just so you know she's more like Belial here than human."

"Shadow then. I knew something was wrong with her in that sense." I say. I've heard about shadows just haven't found much on them.

"Remind me to give you and Abby a few books from my Library so you can brush up on the lesser known stuff. Abby more so since she's a third Abyssal Dragconis. Come on lets hit the bar already!" Lucy says practically dragging me to the exit.

"Can I at least get a bra or preferably a t-shirt and shorts? I don't think I'll be aloud in there in this."

Lucy then throws some clothes to me. "Put those on they should be fit." I look and see a pair of short shorts and a halter top...This at least covers more than the bikini.

"You do know I am several sizes larger than you right?" I ask. I have at least eight inches on her. It's bad enough her human form is 12 years old.

"I do that's just what I wear in my CPU form. Either wear that or I'll buy you something skimpier from a clothing store." Lucy says with a shrug.

"Fuck that. I've seen what crap you wore when I visited you in your nation." I say putting the clothing on.

Lucy giggles as we exited the place. "Smart choice. Now the bar should be this way!" She told me as she began pulling me in some random direction. Where I can see a neon sign that read in Pink and dark red 'Welcome to the demon's den' Great it's going to be one of those weird bars.

"Am I allowed to actually get drunk?" I ask.

Lucy gives me a mischievous smirk and slaps my butt. "You can get blackout drunk and they'll throw you in a hotel room. The drinks won't hurt the kid and it's always fun in there. You won't mind if I tap some asses in there would you. I know I having a kid but I'd love some action right now. I'm horny as heck."

"Just this once. Afterwards I'd like you to be faithful to me and Selene." I tell her.

Lucy gives me a soft look cupping my cheek and kissing me on the lips. "I will be promise. Wait you and your Noire are not a thing any more?"

"Well. I don't know to be honest. We haven't really talked about it." I tell her smiling uneasily.

"You're going to have to at some point for that kids sake. Emerald looks up to both of you a lot." Lucy tells me before patting my cheek and walking inside the bar.

"I'm surprised they're letting your 12 year old ass in here." I say with humor in my voice.

I then walk inside myself and see Lucy flirting with some random girls, Astolfo and Scathach wave to me by the time I get to their side of the bar it was too late as I feel arms wrap around my waist. "You don't call, answer my calls text or even write. I'm starting to feel neglected here Emma or should I say Neppy?"

"I know I've been a dick. Also when did you find out?" I ask.

She answered first by kissing my neck. "Since I first caught your scent. I'd never forget a scent like yours. It's like lavender on a cool summer breeze."

I shiver. "Why haven't you said anything earlier? It really didn't take me long to sense you weren't human. I just couldn't place what for awhile."

She trails a line of kisses up to my ear and gives it a lick as I feel her breath on it. "Because you were trying to keep a low profile. You'd have freaked out if I did. So I took the slow road of working my way into your heart. And I heard you need to sleep with someone bad. And while those two are good company they aren't my type. But you are sexy." She finished by giving my ear another lick sending shivers and chills down my spine.

"If you're this forward now. Why haven't you jumped me earlier eh?" I ask.

"I didn't want to scare ya off. I wanted you to be ready when I made my move unlike some people." Looks at Lucy. "I'm not so horny I can't hold myself back." She tells me and I have to admit it was sweet of her.

"You should've gave me hints here or there or asked me out." I bring up a decent point.

Charlie blushes as her hands rub my belly. "I was too scared to do it openly I gave subtle hints still. You have to understand the dimension I came from my Neptune is dead. Killed by Nepgear. It was getting baren anyways. I left as Nepgear killed Arfoire and was trying to restore the world." I can hear the hurt in Charlie's voice I must have meant a lot to her. Well so much for a one night stand.

"I truly wonder how many dimension travelers are here. So we going to get our drinks on?" I ask her.

Charlie smirk and raises her hand to get the bartender's attention. "Can I get a Purple&Black cocktail for me and my girlfriend here. And don't skimp out on the olives and ginger!" Soon two cups of swirling purple and black arrive in front of us with some olives tossed in and ginger powder sprinkled on top.

"This that crap you've always drank." I asked picking it up and looking at it. I usually just got a bottle of whatever was good usually.

"Yup strong enough to knock you off your ass but doesn't make you sick as heck in the morning either." Charlie said before taking a gulp of her drink and I see her chew the olives before swallowing them as well. "AH! That felt great always love this stuff. Can still feel it burning the back of my mouth."

"Can't I get a bottle of what I usually get?" I ask before drinking mine.

"Sure just ask the bartender for it and I'll pay for it." Charlie tells me while rubbing my lower back.

"Can I get a bottle Planeptune Conquest over here?" I ask the bartender.

The bartender nods and slides the drink over. I see Charlie finch from the corner of my eye as I said the name of the drink. Was something wrong?

I then remember what she said. I guess what Nepgear did there is what the drink is called. "Shit sorry." I tell her.

"It's fine just reopened an old wound. I still hate what Arfoire did the most she made it so the only way to get powerful enough to defeat her was to kill and absorb everyone else. And to top it all off Arfoire just let Nepgear kill her. It still hurts to this day. I missed you for decades before I found you here." Charlie said as she began to cry, tears streaming down her face. And now I feel like an ass.

I pulled her into a one arm hug. "Hey I'm here now aren't I? Cheer up." I say giving her a small smile.

Charlie wiped the tears from her eyes. "Right we if your drunk enough how about we hit up a room for the night. I'll let you be on top this time."

"Pfft. I haven't even started." I say as I grabbed the bottle the bartender brought and downed most of it in one go.

Charlie then gives me a devilish grin. "Say how about I get you something stronger, a lot stronger. That is if you think you can handle it, you know the Planeptune Conquest is some really lightweight stuff compared to what I normally get." Now she was just making a huge ass challenge and I'm sure as heck ain't going to back down.

"Sure why not. And heck this might be lightwieght compared to most but I like the taste of it." I comment. Basically why I drink it.

"Okay well One devil's blood with a shot of dew of darkness through in my friend here wants to really be knocked off her ass!" Charlie hollered out as the bartender hurried to mix the drink. My nose and body shook at the smell alone. Was this shit even legal?

I look at her weirdly. "Alright. Bottoms up." I say lifting it up before drinking it.

Instant my head felt dizzy and I almost fell off my seat as the world started to spin and feel weird. I had to cling to Charlie to maintain some semblance of balance as the world blurrier was more spinny.

I giggle a little. "That shits strong. Doesn't have the best taste though." I say.

"Not supposed to taste the best it's supposed to knock you on your ass. Gives that Lucy chick a good buzz even. Think your drunk enough for sex now or you need another three?" Charlie says as she chugs down her remaining drink and gives me a wink.

"We can bang then but you should know I am quite dominant in bed."

"All Neps are it's your charm after all. But I'm not exactly a push over unless I want to be. Come on I have the perfect room in mind of our night of love. And just so I know you cool with us being an item and me showing up at your place right?"

I cough into my hand. "Well. I am basically in a mini herem." I say kinda quietly.

Charlie gives me a smirks as she slides her hand into the back of my pants to give my butt a squeeze. "Oh then I want in on it my sexy Nep Nep."

"Alright. I might maybe die when one finds out about this but let's go." I say to her. I am so going to dominate her.

Soon we arrived in a nice romantic room with a silk blanket. I was never one for luxuries but this time I'll indulge myself in this pleasure.

I soon push Charlie onto the bed and stalk over her with a predatory glint in my eyes this was going to be one heck of a night.

{Time Skip due to we're lazy}

I open my eyes but instantly close them due to the brightness. Goddess damn it. I place a hand on my head. This headache is insane. "Where the hell did I put those painkillers." I mutter to myself.

"Looking for these sweetheart?" A voice spoke in a painfully sing song voice. It hurt my head just hearing it.

"Yeah hand them over." I grumbled.

"Oh I don't know what are you going to offer me in return? A kiss maybe?" Spoke the annoying voice. Damn it who did I sleep with last night anyways?

"Sure. but it's too damn bright to see where you are." I say trying to remember the voice on who it is.

Then I felt someone kiss me and some pills slip into my mouth from the kiss before the lips pulled back. "That's okay I'm right next to you Nep."

I swallow the pills almost not giving a shit what they are. I suddenly was able to place the voice. "Charlie?" I then remember bits and pieces of last night.

"Yup and last night sure was wild. You are a lot of fun in bed. Though it ended with me dominating you my little vixen." I could tell by the tone of her voice Charlie had to be either smiling or smirking at me smugly.

"I believe I dominated you first and I was tired afterwards due to yesterday's events." I say to her.

"Yeah though I think'd still end up on top anyways. Given I have a lot of stamina. Anyways want me to help you get dressed and take you home?" Charlie offered as she helped me up.

"Sure, thanks. Sorry for being an ass up until now." I say to her while I open my eyes again and it wasn't as bright this time.

Charlie pats my cheek before kissing my forehead. "Don't worry about it. You made it up to me last night. Just try not to be one in the future."

"It didn't help that I was busy as hell for awhile." I say.

"With what? The kids and family visiting?" Charlie asked me as she began getting dressed.

"Yes and no. Yes there seems to be a lot of damn people at my house and no because I took out two bases of rebels, cultist, whatever the hell they were and I have to deal with another damn Arfoire." I then sigh. "Nevermind. That can't happen anymore. For a while that is."

"Don't worry if anyone bothers you in the slightest I'll take care of them. Your pregnant now right?" Charlie tells me as she gets her jacket back on.

"Well yeah and you should be somewhat also." I tell her.

Charlie looked over herself. "Hmm didn't notice. It'll be awhile till I start to show signs. Well let's head to your place. My kind usually doesn't have kids often."

"I don't know if you are 100 percent or not but everyone born in our dimensions either reproduce that way or the traditional way. Which isn't the ideal way here due to almost everyone being lesbians."

"Oh I know that's the case for most dimensions well the ones I've been to at least. Most of them are chalk full of lesbians because well with the aid of magic we can still reproduce. We can worry about naming the kids later on." Charlie said as she slid her boots on. "Come on no need to keep your girls waiting."

I kinda groaned. "I'm having too many kids at once now. And dealing with two was horrible."

"Hey at least you have help now. You know having several pregnant women together is going to be crazy right?" Charlie tell me and she's right this is going to get crazy.

"Don't even get me started on it." I mutter with my head in my hands.

Charlie pats my head. "Don't worry my type of shadows doesn't have drastic hormonal issues. But it seems you have a visitor." She points behind me before whispering. "Freakin freak pests."

"Who?" I ask looking in the direction she's pointing.

I see a modestly dressed young little girl bowing to me. Most of her body was dressed in bloodied clumsily wrapped bandages and from the looks of it they were quite old. Was she beat up badly? Anyways she bowed her head quickly so I didn't get a look at her face as she held out a letter to me. "L-letter for you miss Clockwork!"

"Thank you. Also why are you beat up so badly?" I ask her grabbing the letter.

"N-no r-reason. S-sorry but I need to go before master gets mad." The girl had fear laced in her voice to the extent I believed that nothing would scare her more unless death herself showed up. She then tried to leave key word tried.

I grabbed her shoulder and muttered a quick healing spell I learned over the years. "Tell me please." I say to her softly in a kind voice.

The girl sniffles and wipes her eyes. "Master isn't very nice. They'd hurt us if we didn't do a good enough job."

I frown. "That isn't good. Who is this master of yours?"

The girl started breathing faster and almost stumbled back back looking up at me with pupiless eyes in pure terror and spoke in a shaky voice. "Yog-Sothoth."

Hmm. I don't know that name. She's freaking out badly. This isn't good. "How old are you?"

"O-one week miss. I'm sorry but i really need to get going before master gets mad." The girl began trying to pull away from me.

I look at her sadly before letting her go. "Just be safe." I say. I don't know what she is or what her master is. I hope I won't regret this later.

The girl looks at me and mutters something to in my head. 'The letter I'm referred to as is K. I'm sorry if anything happens.' She turned to leave as reality wrapped around making her vanish without a trace.

I look at Charlie. "What the hell was she?" I ask as I opened the letter.

"She was a Stalker. Real pain in the ass to deal with especially when they get older. They are servants of the great old ones. Well more or less treated like slaves by the elder great old ones but the younger ones treat them fairly for the most part like workers mostly. The one she works for must not be so nice. We'll need to let Belial know. But first you should read the letter." Charlie told me as she points to my hand.

"Sounds fanfuckingtastic." I grumble looking at the letter.

I couldn't understand most of it given it was in an odd tongue. But from what I got was mostly they were issuing a challenge to me of some kind and if I refused there would be consequences. A slight feeling of dread began to creep into my mind for some reason. Images of the kids burning alive filled my mind making me sick.

"Why am I getting a challenge? I shouldn't be that well known." I say.

"Likely they've been keeping an eye on you. I'd be careful if I were you. This means it's eying you up. We need to go to Belial since she's the top dog in terms of shadows here. In case something happens she's basically the top officer incase something goes wrong. And with the Great old ones that's always possible." Charlie warns me which is just great.

"Fucking wonderful. What the hell could've I done to get it's attention?"

"Not sure oh I know literally killing all the main evil people here and massacring two bases of its followers maybe?" Charlie said in a bit of an exaggerated tone.

"How'd you know about the base part?" I ask.

"Oh I was watchin ya. In case you needed help but mostly for the show. You are hot when you go on a slaughter spree. Was tempted to tackle you in the shower and have some fun." Charlie told me with a smirk. Well good to know someone likes my insanity though that's a bit disturbing now that I think about it.

I smile at her, maybe with a little sinister part to it, and I feel my eyes glow a little for a second. "It is engraved in my CPU form now." It is bad that my CPU form went insane but it was the price I paid for what I've done. Even for the parts no one knows about.

Charlie rubs my cheek after that. "And I love it. Just so you know I'll stop you if you start to do something really crazy or bad. So don't worry about cutting loose every now and then."

"It is harder to hold it back these days. It usually didn't bother me too much." I tell her smiling sadly. This is what I've became after all these years.

Charlie rolls up her left sleeve before looking at me. "Well there is one way to restore some of your sanity to a degree. But you'd have to trust me."

I laugh. "Don't you think I've tried. There'd be a difference if I was just insane. It's built into my DNA now."

Charlie shrugs and rolls her sleeve back down. "Was just going to have you drink a bit of my blood so negative energy wouldn't twist your mind so much. Otherwise I can just teach you some mental techniques to help with your problem."

"That would help if it wasn't built into my CPU form. I am fine in my human form though. Well mostly."

"I can help make sure you don't hurt anyone your not supposed to at least. Be your aide slash keeper in your CPU form given I've tango'd with a lot worse and I'm really hard to hurt or bring down. I'd say out of those I know or seen enough of their skills I'd say only IF could do a number me if it came to it. Well that's aside from the obvious ones like Lucy." Charlie told me as she helped me out of bed.

"Unless I tear you apart in my rage. I doubt it will be directed at you though. Let's go to my house. Do you remember where it is?"

"I'll be on my toes then. But yeah I'll just be making sure you don't kill innocents or no kill targets. And yes I know the way. Lucy is likely on her way now. So fly or car?" Charlie asks me as she grabs a few things.

"Whatever the damn way that murders my head less." I tell her.

"Car it is then. Now I'm going to pick you up if your decent now." Charlie told me as she moved to throw me over her shoulder.

"I'm not incapable of walking you know?" I ask her not caring that she is carrying me.

She just rolls her eyes at me as she begins walking to the door. "Sure sure but then why did it take you so long to get out of bed then?"

"I want to be lazy as shit and I want to delay this."

Charlie smirks and begins jogging now. "Then I'm going to go speed racer on the way back to your house should be fun." Aw crap.

"Damn it." I say already thinking of Selene's reaction to this.

Within minutes Charlie puts me in a supped up sports car. This is not going to be a tame ride. "You ready for this!? I am!" Charlie asks me with devilish grin as she puts in some random high energy pop music and revs the engine.

"Please no." I say. I do enjoy fast rides but I don't want to go home yet.

"Too late let's see if I can set a record." Charlie tells me as she takes of down the road dashing in and out traffic, using side roads and blowing speed limits and somehow not get caught. Making it to my place in a few minutes as she pulled her car into a drift into my driveway.

"I hate you right now. Couldn't just stay in town for a few more hours." I complain.

"Where's the fun in that? It'll be fun to see how Selene reacts given her mental scarring. Lastation CPU's are always sensitive or insecure in some regards." Charlie said with a smirk. "Hey Uni, Nepgear I brought your mommy home!"

I immediately equip my armour and jump out of the car through the window. I'm glad I haven't taken it apart yet. "Hey there kiddos. Where's Selene?" I ask with my defenses up.

Little Uni smiles and points inside. "She's inside resting on the couch. We slept with her last night since she got restless without you."

"And I'm sorry about that kiddos. I had something I had to take care of. I'm going to go in and say hi to Selene alright."

Minigear and Uni nod before Minigear spoke. "Is miss Charlie staying? Can we play with her?"

"Yes and sure. Entertain her for me." I tell them before entering the house cautiously. I take out one of my blades from my inventory to block her shadow attacks. "Selene sweetie?" I call out.

In response I feel something wrap around my limbs and yank me forward before I feel warm arms wrap around my waist before a soft pair of lips meet my own. "I missed you Emma. You have no idea how scared I was. I-I thought I lost you."

"I went out and did something with Lucy." I say twirling my wrist and severing the shadows on that side and I cut the otherside.

Selene gives a pout as she rubs my back. "She better not have taken you to a strip club or brothel."

"Well you're close." I say nervously.

"Bar then? You got drunk? You didn't even invite me." Selene asks me with a frown. I know she's a heavy weight with alcohol but that defeats the point.

"Welllll. Lucy and Belial grabbed me and drug me out though. I couldn't exactly give a heads up."

Selene sighs. "Fine but you owe me a date later in compensation..Why is Charlie here...You slept with her!"

"Well." I rub the back of my head. "I was maybe a little-very drunk." I say wincing getting prepared for a hit.

Selene takes a few deep breaths. "YOU BITCH!" And then the next think I know the flat of her battle axe. It sent me back a bit as I slammed into something.

I take out my other sword. I can't exactly go offense but I can fight defensively. I block her next attack and kick the flat of her axe to try to get it out of her grasp. This is going to be a problem if this stays inside. "Please calm down." I ask her.

Selene then dropped her axe crying "I'm sorry. I-I don't know what came over me. It just hurt so much. I'm sorry!" And like if a switch was flipped she goes to being a crying mess.

I put my swords on my back. "I am sorry also. If you want to hit me a few times. Please do so." I wish I had the guts to tell her why it happened.

Selene buries her face into my chest clinging onto me hard. "Just hold me please." her voice quivering.

I sit on the couch holding her. "It's alright. Why do I bring such sorry to others." I mainly tell myself.

Selene snuggles into my chest. "Your just like the Neptune from here. You mean well just screw up a lot without your friends. Your the jester but everyone needs a jester someone to make them laugh and warm their hearts. You seemed to have lost that touch to a degree. Still see it with the kids."

"I almost lost my jester self completely. The kids are what helped me bring it back a little."

"Maybe you need to spend more time with the kids or loosen up a bit. I mean you've been working a lot. Couldn't hurt to have a day all to yourself right. Besides knowing you both you and Charlie are knocked up." Selene tells me as she yawns into my chest trying to cheer me up.

"I've been with the kids their entire lives. Also how do you figure I'm pregnant?"

"Your blood pressure felt off and I can sense the energies pooling in your belly. Most people here can sense energies well those that more so take to learning of some kind." Selene told me which is just great. That means most of them will know I'm knocked up.

"So that means abit of people will know then. Ugg. This is going to be so fun when all the children are born."

Selene pats her belly. "Yeah we just found out Abby got Alex pregnant this morning among other things. Can't wait to get this tummy monster out."

I laugh. "If you can't wait now. You are so going to hate it in a few months."

Selene groans. "You just have to ruin the moment. Alex is getting it rough right now though especially since Abby's tomb was raided this morning."

"You forget. I've given birth before and really? Abby's tomb was raided?" Wait. They already made a tomb.

"Yeah it was. Almost everything of value was taken, gear, possessions and other wise. Even took Abby's body before burning it in a trash heap a couple miles away. Also you should know when a new CPU takes their role a new tomb is built or is put under construction." Selene told me and I could feel a bit of anger rising. I just have to know if anyone told Lucy or not yet.

"That's fucking wonderful. Also It's been so long that I forgot about the tomb thing."

"Sounds reasonable. Also we drew sticks as to who would tell Lucy the news." Selene said and I didn't like where this was heading.

"Soooo. Who got the short end?"

"Nepgear Senior. We all gave her a look of pity. Though she's been acting a bit more aggressive lately so let's see how this goes." Selene tells me her face stuff buried in my bust.

"I guess we'll see." I say. I will step in if necessary even if the consequences are bad.

"HER TOMB WAS WHAT!?" I hear Lucy shout and the house shook a bit from the sheer volume of her voice. I can see some of the kids running away scared senseless.

I get up and pat Selene on the back. "I'll be back." I tell her.

"You better or I'll spank you." Selene told me with a slight joking tone in her voice. My butt is still sore from last time.

I went to where I heard Lucy's voice. I walk into the room saying. "Lucy. Please calm down. Let's approach this subject logically."

Then I had to duck as she fired a shotgun in my direction. "How my grandbaby is dead and her body gone! So don't tell me to calm down!"

"Think about this logically. Doing it with a pissed off persona isn't going to help. You have to access the situation."

Lucy huff before putting her shotgun back in her inventory. "Fine but if your wrong I'm shoving my shotgun up your ass!"

Nepgear merely waves awkwardly to me. "Thanks sis but I had it handled well for the most part."

"Alright. So what exactly happened?" I ask wanting the information.

"I told her about the incident but I'll go over it again. About 4 am this morning the sentries guarding her tomb were found dead and the tombs entrance found blown open. Interior wrecked and ransacked. Everything that wasn't nailed down was taken. From what the agent told me they suspect it was retaliation by the Anti-CPU radicals though they haven't found anything concrete yet as it could have been grave robbers or treasure hunters." Nepgear told me which actually managed to piss me off that someone would go that far.

"Hmm. Looks like I'll have to look into it myself. Hey Lucy two questions. Why was her body there and why wasn't sentinels there?"

"Well her body was there for traditional and ceremonial purposes. The runes there help preserve the body and spirit. And as for the Sentinels it takes them two to three days to set up properly. Till then highly trained sentries are posted to guard the tomb. Pretty well geared up too." Lucy tells me as she crossed her arms.

"Can't you conjure them up like your father can?" I ask remember what I remember about the guy.

"I could but they can't. Most other nations make their own. Still pretty effective but they take some time to form. But still respectable given most that make them are only slightly above the average human." Lucy says to me like this is the way it's always been.

"Makes some sense. But you do know how she can come back so that would've caused problems."

"Yeah it would have. More likely than not Abby would have just busted herself out or had an underground passage. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything like make a body double and have a select few agents break her out. That would be ridiculous. Let's try to keep our thinking grounded in reality please and thank you." Lucy says out loud before brushing some strands of hair out of her face.

I would've done that in the past. "Alright. Shall we go and look at the site?"

Lucy sighs. "Sorry I had enough stress for today. I'll send Pluty a text and she'll meet you there with Rose. She has clearance to the sight after all."

"And have I had clearance to it? But yeah I'll meet her there."

"You don't at least not yet. Well head over there then, Nepgear should know the way or Plutia will find you mid flight." Lucy said a bit annoyed hopping onto a nearby bed.

"Alright. Show me the way Nepgear." I say.

Nepgear nods and heads to go outside. "Right just follow me Emma."

I transform and walk after her. "How far is the place from here?" I ask.

"A few hours at least. It's a good ways away from here. I-I'm actually a bit scared to transform right now. Would you mind carrying me?" Nepgear told me a bit of fear in her eyes given she's not quite used to the changes her body went through.

"That is quite fine. Even if you did transform I could handle you if things went bad."

Nepgear nods as she holds my arm. "Yeah I'm just scared what I'll be like if I do. But if you're sure then I could try transforming once we are a good ways from the house incase something happens."

"How about we give it a try when we get done. I doubt you can run away either due to I has always faster. Heck I believe I have a decent boost to my speed now." I say trying my best to not boast.

"Fine fine. But are you using booster equipment again? I still remember the more lewd ones. Well either way I don't mind you carrying me." Nepgear told me as we headed outside.

"I won't lie and say I have a few sets lying round and I don't mind carrying you."

Nepgear giggles and jumps into my arms. "Well I made some myself. And if you say its okay lets fly!"

I fly up a little. "It does feel weird to transform like this again. So which way is it?"

"South east from here. It's in Iris field near the research station." Nepgear told me pointing south eastwards.

"Hmm. Wonder why I never ran across it before." I say before flying in that direction.

"Apparently it has some cloaking tech to avoid wildlife and the such and most of the facility is underground. Shouldn't be hard to notice from the sky Rose told me since they are lowering the cloaking tech a bit." Nepgear said sheepishly as I got a strange tingling sensation on the back of my neck like I was being watched.

I start sending out small pulses of energy to see if I can sense it. "Hmm. I can normally see through most stuff but I wasn't really looking for it due to I forgot about they build the tombs when we are alive. So hows mine going anyways."

"It's looking more like some random brothel or nightclub given what you requested. It's already completed by now. But I have to wonder why do you need a sex android if your dead?" Nepgear asked me curiously.

"Reasons Nepgear. Reasons."

Nepgear coughs into her hand. "Pervert, Robofile." Then coughs again before looking at me. "So how fast are you flying? Your usual speed judging by the wind?"

"Yeah. I don't want to fly too fast with you in my arms."

"It's fine but it makes me want to transform more now." Nepgear says with a small pout.

"It's fine. Have some patience Junior."

Nepgear pouts and looks around. "I think I see the research station in the distance. We should land soon. And it's hilarious to hear a lesson of patience coming from you sis."

I lowered to the ground. "I have learned many things over the years. Try raising children."

"What do you think I'm doing with Uni. Why is Astolfo and some random person waiting for us? This is odd." Nepgear said a bit confused that it was Astolfo's twin. Right Junior hasn't meet Scathach yet. Still trying to figure out that weird magic shit she did before.

"That's her twin Scathach. I'm kind of wondering who came up with the names." I say landing a dozen feet or so away from them.

Astolfo began waving at us from her place. "Hi you two! It's good to see you! Love your hair Geary! Ow! Sis what was that for." Astolfo said rubbing her head after Scathach crop dusted her.

"Remember what I said about not being an airhead and loud for five minutes? Well you only got past four minutes. Now act more your age or I'm telling mom you miss behaved while we were gone." Scathach said not missing a beat resting against her spear acting annoyed as Astolfo paled.

"Please don't tell mother Mary please! I'll try better I promise! You know how she's like when she's mad!" Astolfo says with pure panic in her voice.

I grin a little sinister. "I have been wondering about that. Who are your parents?" I ask wanting to know.

Scathach closed her eyes and hummed for a few seconds before opening her eyes. "Brave dimension Uni and a woman named Mary. She's one of Zoey's elites. Does that answer your question Hyperdimension Neptune?"

"Alright. And if you want to just call me Emma. That's what I go by here or recently the Purple Devil. I wonder who came up with it?" I ask myself.

Scathach shrugged. "Okay Emma. I meet a lot of Neps your all very different to degrees. You'll meet that person soon. I take it your on the way to the tomb correct?"

"Yes you are right." I say.

Scathach turns around holding her spear in a resting position. "Then follow us. We know the way and save you from wandering around a lot given the lack of directions."

Why would they know more about the place. "Alright lead the way then."

Scathach nods and begins walking off in a certain direction through defense forest. Me and Nepgear had to use are swords to cut through the thick brush and plant life that only got thicker but those two seemed perfectly fine moving through and around the brush like it wasn't even there.

"So how far is it from here and how do you know its location?" I ask them.

Scathach hums as she moves her hand in an odd way causing the brush to move aside. "Me and and some others trained here before. We had a very special mentor that lived here. And to answer your other question likely a few more minutes at this pace."

So I guess they mean from the future. "And who is this mentor of yours?"

"Well we had a few some on and off. One we can't tell now. One should show up soon. And the other is our cousin that is super intelligent like a genius or super genius you could say. Well she more or less trained us on ways hit above our weight I mean she's done it a lot before." Astolfo tells me as she twirls around to walk backwards giving me and Junior a cheeky smile.

"So I'm not one then eh. That's somewhat good. Training people is a pain in the ass." I comment.

"Oh it isn't that bad. Though if you think that is a pain in the ass then you won't like what you have to deal with soon. Oh would you look at that we're here." Astolfo told us as she turns around to smile at an annoyed Plutia along with her sister.

"And what do I have to deal with?" I ask. How can it be worse than training people?

Scathach just gives me a look that was completely unreadable. "You will know soon enough. Once you meet him one of our other mentors that is. Your going to be in for a headache and a half."

Plutia then growls. "Purple heart who are these two and why are they here? I thought it was supposed to be you and Nepgear only?"

I look at her with a blank stare. "Who are they. They are dimension travellers that's apparently from the future. Why they are here. I do not know." I say in a neutral tone.

Plutia huffs and glares at them. "Fine but you or Nepgear are keeping an eye on them. The crime scene is just a couple meters this way in the side of the mountain. " Plutia then turns on her heel and begins walking. On one hand she must be pissed about what happened to Abby and her tomb. But really I don't feel like dealing with her today.

"Let's examine the scene to see what info we can get." I say in a professional tone. At least she's taking it better than Lucy.

Upon reaching the area we find the the tomb's front stone doors they look blasted open and I see a guy just leaning against one of the outer walls flipping a coin casually he's wearing some kind of cloak to keep his form hidden to a degree.

"Sis are you all there? Your sorta staring at nothing." Junior says forcing me to take my eyes away form the guy for a moment to look at her.

"Hmm. You didn't see the guy?" Why now of all times that everything show up.

"What guy? Sis are you getting schizophrenia now? Maybe you should untransform while you still have some semblance of reality." Nepgear told me thinking I've gone crazy. I was going to say something as I looked back at the guy only to find he was not there now.

I sneered and looked back to where the guy was. "I doubt it."

"I hope so. We don't need you seeing things now. So what do you get of this so far? I say it looks like a mix of normal explosives and Magic a mix of fire and wind. Wind to fuel the fire with more oxygen." Nepgear says as she examines the debri.

I look around abit. "You are right from what I can see here but there are still things that need to be revealed."

Nepgear nods looking at me. "Right we need to evaluate the rest of the evidence. Abby's body..Or whatever is left of it. As well as the inside of the tomb. Just which to start with first." Nepgear took a deep breath her hands shaking.

"How about me and you go inside to look while these guys are two of them examine out here?"

Plutia grumbles. "Fine I'll take these two and examine the stuff out here. No promises I won't discipline them at some point to vent some tension. Come on you two and don't piss me off I unless you want to kiss your asses goodbye."

"Same old Plutia. Not used to seeing her like that in her human form." I say before untransforming.

Nepgear sighs shaking her head. "Neither am I. Let's just hurry up and search the inside of the tomb to see what we can find. At least we don't have to deal with Plutia pissed off."

"Fine. I'd like to see how she'd fare against me here though." I said as we walked inside.

"Don't know. You are very different now. Wow they weren't kidding that this place was ransacked. Everything is trashed but it looks more like a raid than Fanatics. Whoever did this had this preplanned. Too organized otherwise." Nepgear says as she looks around the tomb.

"It's also way too quick. How did they manage to even get everything in here in that short time span anyways?"

"My thoughts this entire thing was planed long in advance. They knew what they were doing and were waiting for this moment for a while." Nepgear said she examining some of the broken containers and I have to agree with her. It's just done too well but still there's the question of who?

"I wonder who wanted to do this in the first place. Not many want to piss us off."

"The Anti CPU radicals for one or brain dead people. I'd say the Radicals are the most likely culprits in this case." Junior thought out loud and of course the radicals are really stupid so yeah I can see that.

"Well it could be them but ever thought this is an inside job?" Spoke a male voice not far behind causing me to turn around to see who it was.

I pull out a sword and chucked it. It goes halfway into the wall beside the guys neck. "Good reasoning but there are other possibilities also so its not the only option."

The guy just looks at the sword before stepping to the side. "Wow they weren't kidding that you were jumpy but I'm not judging but your hot sister is now. Just messing with you. I don't go for any that are taken. But unlike you guys I got a front row seat to for this event. And the previous ones that got that scumbags attention. I got intel you want and I need your help for something else. We both have something the other wants."

"And what is that?" I ask with an eyebrow raised.

The guy then begins flipping a coin again. "You remember that letter you got from a great old one? The one issuing a challenge to you. Well it just so happens I want the bastard dead. And before you say anything you'd be agreeing to a ridged fight that'd end up most likely with your kids and family as slaves. I do have reasons for wanting that scumbag dead not some thing petty like a disagreement of sorts I assure you."

"I have been wondering why it wanted a challenge with me. I really am not that great. So what valid reason shall I have to go against this unknown enemy at the cost of my family. I wouldn't care if it was just me."

"Because your a potential threat down the line given one of your other selves and Noire's was such big thorns in its side. That's why it's been going around messing with other Neptunes. He pushed the events of the Planeptune conquest and directly caused the deaths of this dimensions Neptune and Noire. Why since it's scared of what you could do as an elder." The man told me as he stopped flipping the coin and caught it.

"I have been hearing I am close to elder for a little bit now. Heh. I never knew it was a thing until a few years ago." I turn and see Nepgear absorbed in what she was doing.

At least she won't think I'm crazy as the guy begins speaking again. "Well you are to some extent. So how about it I tell you what intel I have an you help me kill that scumbag of a great old one."

"Hmm. Since it'll most likely do something if I don't. Sure."

"That's good to hear. Now about that night. About five of what looked like that Jade heart kids agents came in shot the sentries who went to greet them. Pretty much figured out the rest. But the real question why would they bring a body double of that Jade heart kid with them. Makes one think this was some secret order the Jade kid cooked up to hide the fact she could come back from the dead. But if it is only those five know it. Some weird ass contingency plan then. Well the truth is it would have got you guys at least for awhile if I didn't spill it." The guy told me his tone between serious and joking to a degree.

I just give him a curt nod. "I doubt you'd know a name or two of em do ya?"

"No but they looked pretty high ranking and I can track their aura's if it comes to it. Didn't bother then. It's odd to see a CPU corrupted by a Hell stone." The guy said while motioning in Nepgear's direction.

"Mind giving descriptions? I know most of her higher ups don't wear helmets but yeah special events happened to cause that." I say answering about Nepgear. Man is she absorbed in examining things. I wonder if she's using a gadget I don't see.

The guy hums as he begins flipping another coin. "Sure. Two were blondes, one maroon, and one with snow white hair. The blondes had fair skin but the other two had tanned skin. The Maroon haired one had a darker tan than the white haired one. Think I saw one of the blondes at a Leanbox dock before. The one that Jade heart kid goes to often I believe if you need a place to look."

"Got it. Thanks for the info. Just contact me later on your portion of the deal. Hey Nepgear! Find anything?"

"EEK! Um yes found a few things of interest. I managed to get a read on the explosives used. Which is really hard since I have limited exposure to them. Only have a catalog of stuff Abby gave me as a gift to go off of." Nepgear told me while blushing heavily.

Guess they use stuff that's a little different than ours. "So what did you get out of them?"

"From what I can tell the main component used in these explosives was something called glitter dust really dangerous stuff. Bad enough you actually need to have something to dampen its explosive power and make it a bit less volatile. Just a small handful can do enough damage to wreck a bunker. Only people insane enough to use this stuff are Abby's agents and they have a tight control on the glitter dust trade and mining operations." Nepgear explained to me. Never heard of this Glitter dust before but I may want a grenade or two for some fun.

I rub her head. "Glad I have you here then. That does remind me to look through all them damn catalogs I got. Might find something useful."

Nepgear giggles as she leans into the touch. "Thanks sis. I'm just glad Abby marked the pages of note. Though I do remember seeing a chainsaw sword you might be interested in it would tear through flesh really well!" Nepgear's voice got more demonic at the end to the point I pulled my hand back weirded out by the sudden shift.

I'll have to keep an eye on her for awhile. "Don't tempt me. Though I'd rather not use a weapon for that."I comment without thinking.

"Oh then what would you use it for? Cutting down trees? Or something more fun. Like ripping and tearing." Nepgear spoke her voice getting a bit more crazed and demonic now. I see some light coming to parts of her as if she was starting to transform.

I quickly pinch a part in her neck and she passes out onto the floor. "Hmm. I need to question Lucy about a few things." I pick her up and walk out. I think I've found out all that I need for now. I soon run into Plutia and them after exiting the tomb.

Scathach takes one look at Nepgear with a look that makes me worry before she walks up to me. "We found something off about Abby's body it's composite is more of that of a clone already dead before being burned a meer copy and place. But as for your sister I may be able to help her if you'll allow me."

"And how will you be able to?" I ask in a neutral tone.

"I'll draw some runes on her forehead that will help to heal her mind and halt the corruption before it progresses too far." Scathach said leaving me to wonder if that's what let her do all that weird stuff before.

I give her a sceptical look. "Hmm. Sure but if you do anything harmful I will end you."

"You have my word I won't do anything to harm her." Scathach said before she took out a vial of something that she dipped her index finger in before drawing weird symbols on Nepgear's forehead. I couldn't understand half of them before Scathach closed her eyes and whispered something that caused the symbols to glow before it died down. "It is done the corruption has been halted and her mind healed as much as I can currently."

"Got it. I'll be going home for now. Plutia. I'll give you the info I found later after I get Nepgear home and do a few things."

Plutia shrugs before glaring at the twins? At least that's what I remember them being. "Sure. But don't take too long. Also what to do with those two?"

I shrug. "I don't really know." I say transforming.

Scathach turns to leave with Astolfo. "We'll be leaving. And if you try to chase us I can assure you it won't be pleasant. Come on Astolfo lets go get some lunch before our next quest."

Astolfo jogs up to Scathach. "Coming sis. Bye you guys!"

"So what are you going to do Plutia?" I ask her rising off the ground.

"I'll meet up with you later need to do some research. My moms should know of those weapons they were holding. Particularly that spear it was made to kill gods or anything else it strikes. Such a dangerous weapon she should know of. If I got stabbed by that spear I'd be dead for sure if it was in a vital area." Plutia told me before transforming an flying off.

I turn and fly off towards the house. After a dozen or so minutes I get back to my house. I land in front of the house and I walk in. I see Uni sitting in the living room. "Can you keep an eye on her for a little bit?" I ask lifting Nepgear up a little.

Uni blinks before taking Nepgear off my hands. "Sure but what's with the weird writing on her forehead though?"

"I'll explain it later if you don't mind. I have to go and do something. Where is Croire?"

"Um she went to have private time with Histoire who sounded drunk. I told the kids to go play outside for a bit before they'd got scared. Like covering the blood spots." Uni told me and that's just great.

"Which room are they in or where are they? I can live with her being a little pissed off for a few days."

"I think the attic or her room. If not try the adult hotel. Lucy is in the kitchen gorging herself on cookies Abby brought her a while ago few days I think. She's not in a good state of mind right now." Uni says glancing over to the kitchen then up stairs.

I look over to kitchen for a few seconds before I walked over and into it. I see Lucy with her back to me. I walk up to her. "I'm surprised you haven't devoured those yet." I say to try to lighten the mood up.

"Trust me I'm trying but it's hard when I eat a handful I think of her when I'm trying to drown out my sorrows with food. Damn it! Why did Abby have to make the best cookies!" Lucy screams as she grabs another handful of cookies while crying… Wow Uni wasn't kidding she's a mess.

I rub her back. "Because that was her passion. Now I got some decent news but I can't confirm them until I consult with Croire."

"Yeah I know she's a bit like me when I was younger. But she's a lot better of a cook than me. At least she had a life outside of fighting. But what's the decent news? Or are you just bullshiting bad news to cheer me up." Lucy says before eating another handful of cookies and crying.

"Basically saying I might know who did it but I need to confirm it first."

Lucy growls at that. "Good when you do I'll send Belial with you to help kill them!"

"Wait until it has been confirmed." I say to her.

"Fine but Belial is itching to kill someone now so don't keep her waiting." Lucy says as she continues eating. Oh right time to ask her about Nepgear going insane.

"One quick question before I go. What's the insanity rate for that hellstone implant?"

"LIke how fast they go insane? It's slower than lets say a CPU taking in a dose of negative energy like by a few days. But what you really want to look out for is the corruption levels at the early stages it fills a normally kind hearted person with intense blood lust. Later stages well lets just say the worse stages makes them into deranged serial killers that derive joy from killing. What do you expect when you literally put a shard of hell in someone?" My heart almost stopped at those words as the magnitude of the situation hits me.

"I guess you are right. Nepgear had a little episode already. So you're saying that she'll turn out like me, or should I say my CPU form, in the future."

"Oh no she's going to be far far worse than your CPU form. At least you won't attack friends she'll go after anyone and it'll spread to both her forms. Well unless you're a goddamn master with Heaven runes but dad only knows enough of them to slow it down not stop or reverse it. That's a lot more complicated and requires a particular array that only someone that devotes a lot of time and effort into it can do. Haven't met anyone like that yet. Aside from possibly Zoey but she's more chants than runes." Lucy tells me flinching a bit as she bit her cheek.

"Alright. I'll go and get ahold of Croire then. Is she in the house?" I ask to make sure she's here.

"Yeah she's here the sound of her and Histoire screwing each other finally stopped. Damn those to fairies can be loud as heck when they want to." Lucy told me as she pointed to the stairs.

"None of the children better not of heard it or I'll be kicking both their asses."

"Uni got them out of the house and playing in the backyard. C-sha and Compa are keeping an eye on them for us so don't worry. You going to leave me alone now or what. Also Selene wants cuddles." Lucy told me wanting to be alone in her grief.

"Alright. I'll do something for you later if you want just inform me if you want anything specific alright." I say as I walk out. I go up the stairs to Croire's room. "Knock knock." I say unlocking the door,glad I had all the door handles like this, and walk in.

Upon walking in I see Croire with a ball gag in her mouth and Histoire between her legs licking her sweet spot with her butt facing me. If it wasn't for the situation I'd just sit back and watch the show.

I put two fingers in my mouth and do a loud whistle to get their attention. "Alright ladies. I have shit to do and you guys can resume once I'm done."

Croire gulps as Histoire rises from between Croire's legs. "Oh hi Neptune. What do you need our help with? I just finished getting Croire situated. Given I own on top today."

I grin and Croire recognized it. "I'd love to stay and fuck with you both but I need some info and a portal to somewhere."

Histoire smiles and speaks since Croire can't. "Oh don't worry you can come back and join us later we could always do a threesome whenever you want. So what do you need either me or Croire can help you with whatever you need."

I doubt Croire would want to do it willingly due to she most likely remember what happened last time that happened in this form. "Since I got two history tombs here I need information about some of Abby's elites. Do you have any about any with these descriptions? Two were blondes, one maroon, and one with snow white hair. The blondes had fair skin but the other two had tanned skin. The Maroon haired one had a darker tan than the white haired one."

"Hmm give me 3 seconds and yup got IDs on them but location Argh something is messing with the exact location I'd say I could get you within thirty meters of them with Croire's help." Histoire told me rubbing her head.

"That's fine. Thank you for your assistance. I'll owe you a favor after this."

Histoire smiles. "Oh that's nice. I was mostly just doing this to be nice. Well take care. Keeping Croire here for the rest of the day and tomorrow. And my lovely Croire I have so many things in store for you. Your going to be sore for a very long time when I'm done." Croire only let out a whimper as she resigned to her fate.

"I'd love to poke fun at you all day about finally experiencing pleasure in a human form but I do have things to do."

"Well we won't keep you any longer then. Just lock the door on your way out please." Histoire asked me politely while giving one of Croire's nipples a sharp twist causing her to left out a muffled scream.

"Am I able to get that portal there?" I ask her. That's one of the main reasons I came here.

Histoire hums and snaps fingers. "Oh right. I'll need to untie Croire for that. Just give me a second to untie her." Luckily it one took a few seconds before Croire sat up rubbing her wrists and took her gag out. While she did that I pull out the armour that Abby got me and put it on. Glad it changes with my CPU form and I haven't taken it apart.

"I hate that. Just give me a second to get to pop open a portal it'll be fairly close but not exact you'll have to do a small bit of looking around for them." After a few seconds a portal slowly opened up to some strange looking cavern.

"Thanks." I say before jumping through it.

The portal soon closed behind me leaving me stuck in this cavern. And like I expected I could barely sense or hear Abby's elites. I'm going to have use some advanced techniques to find them. Should be fun to see how hard they make me work to find them.

I send out a low pulse of energy, low enough not to be sensed or picked up, into my surroundings to see if that would work. If not I'll but on one of my helmets. I don't know how well Abby's tech would work yet.

I don't manage to sense anything of note just a bunch random static and a few scary strong signatures likely beasts by the feel of them. But nothing human or close from what I can tell. This place feels strange and weird it's messing with my senses. I'm already starting to feel sick nauseous? Feels like sea sickness almost. Is this one of Abby's secret hideaways? Argh if I have to sail back to shore I'm going to really hate this. I don't have an iron sea stomach like Abby.

Err. I grab my helmet out of my inventory and put it on. I made sure to put something in here to help me when nauseous. Sucks I don't have that damn medication on me. I activate the nightvision on the helmet and look around. I made sure to hide my aura as much as possible.

It was still was dark with nightvision but I got a better look at the place it was covered in rock protrusions, crevices and tunnels of varying size and direction. One could do a great job of hiding or getting lost in this place if they weren't careful. But I was able to make out small grooves and notches in certain directions and tunnels likely a crude way of navigation for this place not much but I'll take what I can get in this case.

I look down one way of the tunnel and see the lingering light from the sun. Hmm guess I'm near the cave entrance. I turn back and go down the other way. I start floating about a millimeter off the ground as to not make any unnecessary sounds.

I begin to hear water dripping as the the passage narrows into three tunnels low enough I'll have to crawl through them if I want to get through. And the sea sickness only got worse at this point I think I might puke into the helmet I sure as hell hope not.

It might be this goddamn place. I use some of my magic to place a barrier around me about a few millimeters off the armour so its not too large and didn't take up much of my energy. Since this is a fork in the path I glance around filtering through my cameras to pick up any recent activity.

I manage to see one tunnel has more wear in it than the others a small side that it's been used recently the rest seem to just have been used less so. Still if I didn't have my gear it would have been a lot harder to notice. Time to see where it leads.

I get down and crawl my way through. Being as silent as possible. Good thing there's not that much metal on the outer part of the armour.

When I got there I could hear some of them talking in hushed whispers in front of a glowing pool. "So what to do now Sarah? Go back to our normal routines now that the contingency order is done or do we seal off this place? The orders where kinda vague on what to do after completing them."

"Not much to do otherwise Velvet. We have are orders and we do them to the letter. The last part had live to see another day. We'll have to go to a safe house for a while till things die down or are goddess has need of us again." The white haired one spoke to one of the Blondes. Guess I know two of their names now. Just need to crash the party now.

I position myself better so I can do what I was going to do next. I then shoot forward and gave a heavy hit to the dirty blond haired one's jaw knocking her out. I then grab Sarah and Velvet on their throats and I kicked the maroon haired one into the wall before delivering another kick to her head knocking her out. "So does anyone want to give me an explanation?" I ask the two in my arms.

Sarah looks at Velvet then at me. "An explanation for what? You showed up out of nowhere. We are only following the orders of our goddess. Nothing more nothing less."

"You two should know how I am in this form. I want you to tell me what those orders are. Just be glad I'm holding myself back here."

"To take our goddess here by any means necessary and place her in that pool dressed in her gear with her belongings in a satchel. Letting her sink to the bottom. Other than that. The orders get veage. Wish there was more to tell ya but there really isn't much else but boring details and a long story." Sarah told me not breaking eye contact with me once.

"Why would she want that though. Where does this portal lead?" This is either a healing device or a portal.

"Didn't say much but appern't it leads to another world or dimensions. She said she owed someone on the other side of it a favor when she died. And she intends to repay it. Well that's what she told us anyways before she died. Only told us time moves faster on the other side. If you go all the way to the bottom otherwise it heals you to an extend deadly wounds become mere cuts in seconds." Velvet spoke telling me what I needed to know then again I'm holding her by the throat.

"Hmm." I drop them to the ground. I'm going to kick her ass when she gets back. "Why the fake death though." I mutter to myself. That's just overdoing it. She's just asking for an asswhooping when she does come back.

"Said that was so people wouldn't freak over her body being gone. An agent was supposed to deliver a letter later in the day to inform her mother and grandmother that the other body was a body double and to explain the rest. Also that friend she mentioned is kind of a dick half the time. We meet her before nice some of the time but can be a royal dick other times. Especially when she wants to have fun or is in the mood to do so. Our goddess called her Cu as she said it wasn't a good idea to use her full name well at least within reach of human ears." Snow told me as she rubbed her neck and helped Velvet up. Who then went to check on the other two.

"As you've seen. If I want to know something it gets known. Also check this maroon one. Kicked her harder than necessary."

Velvet nods rushing over to her maroon haired comrade to check on her. Sarah then looks at me. "We'll keep that in mind if we meet you again. Now is there anything else you want to know or is our business together here done?"

"It is done. I'd rather leave before I get overwhelmed with the temptation to slaughter you all. Now one last thing before I leave. I'd like you to send me all your guy's protocols and all the orders Abby has given you that is similar to this. Please send them within the next few days unless you want me to get them myself."

"I'll see what I can do for the protocols by running it through Rose. But as for the orders I have no clue. Only select individuals have them and only one set. I don't even know if others even exists given the only one that really knows about them all is our goddess herself even then I think she's sealed those memories away herself. It's going to be a pain in the ass to get that done." Sarah told me as she pulled out some small tablet like device.

"Do it as you see fit. Next time your goddess does something like this I'll tear her to shreds many, many times." I tell her. Because of her stupidity she had cause unnecessary things.

"I'm pretty sure this was the only order to this extreme. But again if you want someone to blame, blame Cu and her sick sense of humor since she's the one that wanted it like this otherwise our goddess would have to do something extra for her. Apparently she finds this stuff funny for some reason. Don't get why but she's all kinds of crazy." Snow told me partially coming to her goddesses defense and explaining the real source I should vent my anger on.

I punch the rock wall besides me to vent off a little anger and my arm goes in up to my elbow. I take it back out and shake out off the dust and pebbles. "Looks like I have another thing I must say hi to."

"Yeah..Anyways ways I'm going to help Velvet with Ember and Elizabeth. Good luck getting back to shore it's a dangerous trip for most sailors as it is." Snow tells me before rushing off to help Velvet with the other two.

I take one last look at them before I made my way out of the cave. I found myself on a decent sized island. This would be why I haven't found it. I have searched almost every cave in the mainland. I press a little button on my helmet that sends a signal to Croire requesting for a portal back. I mainly had this installed for when I need to get back quickly or I'm in a place like this.

I wait and wait for an hour before a portal opens under me and I fall through right onto Lucy's bare lap and give her a peck on the lips for her troubles. "Wow your back early and you smell like the sea. Went to a tropical island without me?"

I untransformed and undone my helmet. "Well I had some business to take care of."

"Well you caught me in a better mood soo you up for cuddling now?" Lucy asks rubbing my belly well what she could get at.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just let me get this armour off." I say getting up and taking it off and placing it in my inventory.

Lucy immediately began to snuggle into me when I had soft clothes on again. "So find anything interesting?"

"I found out some decent news."

"So spill it and I may take you with me to visit my mom soon." Lucy told me as her left hand snuck into my pants.

"You sure it's fine for me to meet your mother? Also the whole thing was staged by Abby and some of her elites." I tell her.

"I figured that much given she had a plan for everything even a zombie uprising. Her elites are dead loyal to her and only her. I tried nothing will break their oaths other than extreme measures. And why not Belial has meet her when we had Plutia. And you are going to be my wife right? She'd love to meet the new in law. Also I'm having Abby make me a ton of deserts in compensation followed by a long overnight snuggle." Lucy tells me as she began rub whatever she could get at.

"I'm so kicking her ass when I see her again."

"Sure but don't go to rough on her or Belial may eat you or I'd shoot you for hurting hurting our grandbaby. So what did they do with the body?" Lucy asked me curiously with a deadly aura about her that showed she was serious about her threat.

"Hey I won't break any bones here I have kicked her ass many times before during training. But they threw it in a portal going who knows fucking where. I would've had Croire there to see."

Lucy raised an eyebrow at that. "Really a portal? I actually know a few of the ones around here but accidentally made a lot. So where they the one in a glowing pool, Near the mouth of a volcano, one in a temple or one in the dark part of Virtua in an tree? I know where those ones lead for the most part."

"It was the glowing pool one."

In literal seconds the color drains from Lucy's face. "Oh shit. We are both going to die. That leads to the Ultra dimension where my mother is. And she'll know quickly that Abby is her great granddaughter. When she finds out about the rest she's going to be pissed for numerous reasons. Let me put it this way. She once killed a guy slowly for touching a hair on Plutia's head imagine what she'll do to someone that harmed her great grandbaby. And she's a lot more powerful than me."

"Uhhh. Would she know about that one accidental time. The other stuff was for training."

"Um yeah she will as she'll do this mind walk thing where she'll see basically Abby's entire life up to this point and realise not a second of it for a long time was I actively involved as a grandmother. Family means a great deal to her hence why I visit her every so often to keep in touch. And even if it was an accident she'll still have your head. Well at least no great old one is getting involved to make things even worse." Lucy tells me as she clings tighter to me.

Ehhh. If only she knew. "It was in self defence. Hell she pierced me clean through with that damn sword of hers."

"Hey I'm just warning you. She may have mellowed out a bit but she's killed people for less much less. Only saving grace is she won't kill us if we are both pregnant. Still don't look forward to seeing her again right now. I mostly committed a bigger sin than you. Also we are going to have a last minute guest showing up soon." I groan as I hear that. Why is it always my place!

"What guest? I'd like to know who gets invited you know. This is my house."

Lucy rubs her cheek against my breasts. "Not so much invited more like sent a message she was going to visit soon. And she's one of the immortal shadows. Sorta like the big shots of the shadow world."

"And why is she coming here?" We do have enough people here already. Which where is Compa and C-sha. Haven't seen them lately.

"Oh I have an alliance of sorts with her and she wants to see how strong you are. Since you fucked Charlie and got her pregnant that's also something of note. Rule of thumb Nep if your seeing more than one or two shadows someone or a CPU most likely has an alliance with the shadows to some degree. I know the only other one I know of is Zoey but we haven't heard from her in awhile beginning to worry something happened to her." Lucy told me making me groan. So even more bullshit.

"So I now have to deal with them too eh. Too much shit is happening at once."

"Hey at least she has her own place to stay in around here. Hey if you ever want to wuss out I can work something out with her. Or maybe you need Blanc and Nepgear to stay longer then." Lucy teased me getting under my skin.

I grumble. "It's fine. I'll deal with it." This is going to be so damn fun.

"Oh come on it was only one time!" I hear Belial shout and I take that as our guest has arrived.

"What's her name you never really gave me one?" I ask her.

"Lia and the kid she has is named Emma. Oh would you look at that there are two Emma's now. Don't worry they are Pure Nepgear and Uni level nice as long as you don't provoke her. At least that jerk hasn't shown up yet. I don't hate him but he annoys me a lot. Dad gave him an as whopping once it was amazing." Lucy said with both a sigh and eyes full of wonder.

"It doesn't sound fun to get an asswhooping from that guy."

"Well they were more or less equal but it was fun seeing him get his ass kicked. Anyways we should go before Belial blows a fuse or Lia finds out Alex is pregnant. Her kind doesn't get pregnant often so it's a noteworthy sight to see." Lucy tells me as she slides up her shorts and begins walking out the room.

"Alright. Let's go greet the person. So does Lia get on Belial's nerves a lot?"

"Oh yeah she loves giving her shit as one of the few ancient Abyssal Draconis around. And as you haven't noticed Belial isn't the submissive type." Lucy told me as she began to job into the living room.

"She isn't from what I've seen so far. So what's the number of Abyssal Draconis is around?"

"About around a few hundred thousand or so. Not including hybrides in this case. And she's more of the dominant sadistic type." Lucy said as we see Belial foaming at the mouth next to a teenager Nepgear's age and a little girl.

"I doubt that's normal. Damn what did you do to her?" I ask in a humorous tone.

The little girl giggles. "Oh just messing with her telling her about all the embarrassing things she did as a hatchling."

How old are these two? "You got to share some of that with me then later."

"Oh I will if mom lets us stay long enough. It seems a lot more lively things are happening now mom. Maybe we should check on the other two to see if anythings happening. It's been awhile since we paid Zoey a visit anyways mom. I wonder if she has new playmates for me now." The little girl err um Emma I think was her name said with what I think is an innocent smile.

"So what brings you two by today? If I knew you were coming I would have prepared something." I ask.

"It's fine. We mostly came to see Lucy check out the sights, see how strong you are and check on the Abyssal Draconis here since they love to go to sleep. As my little girl would say they tend to be high maintenance at times." The teenager um Lia said to me politely.

"Not to be rude but why do you need to know how strong I am?"

"For a couple reasons. Mostly to see how good of an ally you'll be and get a read on how strong your offspring are going to be. You did mate with one of our Angelic knights after all. I'm sure we can work out some kind of deal for your support. Working with us comes with some benefits after all." Lia told me with a smile any business woman would use to sweeten the deal.

Angelic Knight? That must be Charlie. "Since I've only heard decent things about you I guess I can allow it to happen." It's not like I can oppose them.

"Good. I'll be sure to have someone bring the papers over later. I assure you you have little to worry about at least from us now ho-" Before Lia could finish Rom ran in shouting "MONSTERS! BIG SMELLY MONSTERS!"

Why now of all times. I pull my assault rifle from my inventory. "Alright stay inside Rom." I say before sprinting outside.

I see most of the other girls being protected by the rest of the adults here facing off against some massive scaley beasts with sharp blades all over. And it appeared like most attacks weren't even hurting it. Uni's cannon was barely even scratching it. As it charged forward slow enough they could dodge it. I look at the kids and notice little U is missing just great.

I look over at Compa. "Where is little U?" I ask as I shoot a couple rounds at the monsters.

Compa looks over to the forest with a look of worry. "She ran into the forest with a few of those things chasing her. We haven't had the time to look for her. But we didn't hear a scream at least."

"Damn it." I mutter transforming. I take my swords out and fly in that direction. I made sure to leave a decent cut on one of the monsters as I left. Damn it Croire. You're suppose to have a damn barrier around the house.

As I got closer I saw one of those beasts corpses laying on the ground bleeding from a gash in its neck. Soon the I hear the sound of metal meeting metal then flesh before something heavy hits the ground. Judging by how loud it was I head off in that direction hoping little U is alright.

When I get there I see the guy from the temple standing in front of little U sheathing some kind of sword with the rest of the monsters dead around them. He turn his head slightly too look back at little U. "You okay kid monsters didn't rough you up at all?"

"So you aren't just an illusion or a phantom." I call out.

The guy tilts his cloaked head. "Err no I'm a Stalker. No not that kind of stalker it's what my race is called. And before you ask I was filtering reality around me so others wouldn't bug me. Only let you see me since your the one I wanted to talk to. Name's Reaper. I know stereotypical of a guy in a cloak but you don't have many cool options with your designation being R. And I'm guessing the little one is your kid."

"Yes she is. I swear I've transformed so damn much this week. Hell I haven't done it in quite a few years before this." I say as I wrap up Uni in a hug.

"Right you CPU's and your transformations and stuff well it seems you'll need to buff up your security if that bastard is already sending razorjaws your way. The kids lucky I was around. She's practically a bite sized snack for them. Hmm you're an ally of the shadow quite a few strong ones coming from the direction you came. Bit of advice go for the neck on these thing less work on the blade." Reaper told me as he kicked one of those things on the side of it's head or is it its snout?

I angle both my swords to the side. "That's good to know. I wonder how these will fare against them."

"Well as long as they are above tier 4 you should be able to cut into them mostly well other than that go for the neck. Your blades look strong enough to cut through them with ease. Just a matter of not getting hit or bite by them for you now." Reaper told me with a shrug as he examined the swords.

"I don't know about the 'Tier' of them but they are powerful weapons made by the original goddesses."

"In that case they'd be definitely above 6 but likely below 9.5. Judging by the looks of the materials and the read I have on them I'd say they are about 7.5 most likely. Now every weapon has it's own unique properties so they are likely still powerful but not by an insane degree." Reaper told me and all I got was he's guessing how strong they are.

"Alright. I'll be going now." I say as I put away one sword and pick Little U up. "You okay sweetie?"

Little U nods. "I am mommy thanks to the cool guy."

"Eh I'll take cool guy. If you need me I'll be staying in the town nearby working for the guild. If you see the boss lady tell her Reaper said hi." Reaper told me as he walked off before vanishing from sight.

I'd like to look into him more but I don't know what I'll be able to find. I look over Uni and make sure she wasn't injured. After I made sure I stabbed my sword into one of the beast and start dragging it with me. The others should be fine due to there's a lot of powerful people there.

As I got closer to the house I noticed some big suits of armor walking around. I don't see the rest around and I figure the adults brought the kids inside but that still begs the question what's with the suits of armor roaming around?

I walk a bit closer to the house before taking my sword out of the beast and I whistle loudly to get someone's attention. "You have guys on call or something?" I call out mainly to Lia.

Lia then jogs over to me from the shade of the house. "Yeah I called them here since a great old one wanted to play dirty. Don't worry they are just scouting the area for other threats so why did you drag one of those things back?"

"To examine it. Also why so many people in suits of armour? Aren't you guys like an advanced civilization?"

Lia laughs a bit at my question. "Well one it's their other form. Two that suit of armor is insanely tough and regenerates. Heck I'll let you spar with one if your that crazy. And yes we are dark purple. Nice ass by the way. What's with it and all these dimensions making sexy armored spy suits?"

I roll my eyes. "That's how we are. The transformations are like this."

Lia just licks her lips as she slaps my butt before walking to the suits of armor. "Hence why I love you CPUs always so fun and great in bed."

I just shake my head and untransform. "These damn people sometimes. Do me a favor and go to Compa Uni." I say setting her down.

Uni nods and scurries back inside leaving me to my thoughts once again.

"These last few days have been complete shit." I groan looking into the air. I mean come on. It's been somewhat peaceful for years.

Soon I feel arms wrap around my waist and a soft pair of lips kiss my neck. "You feeling okay beautiful?" I hear Charlie speak behind me.

"I'm feeling fan-fucking-tastic."

"I know maybe you should come inside so I can give you a massage or maybe go for a swim." Charlie says to me while nuzzling her face into my neck. It actually feels a bit calming when she does it.

"I honestly just want to lay down for while."

"Well then lets head in and snuggle in bed then my lovely amethyst eyes." Charlie tells as she moves to pick me up.

"That sounds good but we might have a few people joining as well. Mainly Lucy due to she wanted to snuggle."

"I don't mind. More warmth for us and she's cute. Hopefully the rest can keep the kids busy so we can snuggle naked." Charlie tells me as she began carrying me inside.

"You're doing everything then. I don't want to do shit." I say with everything from the last few days hitting me.

"Sure Lia said she'd be leaving a Knight to help you out with stuff around here. I'll handle most of the stuff for you my pregnancy will be twice as fast as yours anyways. You just focus on resting." Charlie told me as we entered the house where Emma was playing with Little U and Minigear looking rather happy.

"I just want to sleep for the next week." I grumble closing my eyes and leaning into her.

"I'll give you a few pills that can make you stay asleep if you want them." Charlie tells me as she gave my forehead a gentle kiss before reaching my room.

"That would be so helpful right now. Just wake me up when something happens."

Charlie then lays me on the bed as she strips us both. "Sure thing just take one of these pills for a week of sleep." Charlie tells me as she hands me a small bottle of pills. I shrug and take one and then I pretty much black out after that.
