Prologue G; The Ultimate Festival! Battle against Gold Third!
After a few days returning home from the Zero Dimension, they had a welcome back party from their adventures in a different dimension again. However their current problem is the CPU Shift Period, and things have seriously gotten worse as everyone has gathered at Planeptune to possibly discuss plans to lower the problems that are stressing everyone.

"Ugh! Who's the jerk that posted on the image board saying I'm a lonely protector without any friends?! It's spreading everywhere!" Noire says and sounds pretty annoyed about it
"I'm having similar issues. There are claims that I've been excessively purchasing expensive teas from multiple shops, but I've been home all day!" Vert exclaims also annoyed
"Same. There are tons of product reviews written in my name for some reason. They're all pretty negative, weird ones, too." Blanc tells them "Some products have gotten 100 low ratings in just two weeks, and these people are misspelling words in the reviews just to piss me off. For some reason, people are being led to believe it's from my supposed secret account."
"You think you have troubles? Apparently we find comments and questions from people, thinking we went on a leave of absence just to get away from you all." James says looking upset
"I'm actually starting to get annoyed because of those kinds of comments. Can you believe that they are even having second thoughts on us?!" Jeff asks them and the other guys agreed
"Well, get this: they're all posting that I push all of my work on Nep Jr., Histy, Jeffy, and Adam and all I do is goof off! How rude!" Neptune says upset while the seven stare at her in disbelief
"Is she joking…?" the girls thought
"That's exactly what you do…" the guys thought
"So everyone has big problems with this. Citizens are causing negative rumors on the girls, now they are bringing up these comments about us leaving without a reason." Isaac says with a sigh of disappointment
"We didn't have any choice. Besides if Silvia didn't have that time barrier over the island to make time slower inside while time was faster out here…" Alex says
"She had a good reason to slow time on the island, making sure her sister didn't get released from her seal. That was until we found the truth about what happened to her." Selena answers with a worried expression. "Now the problem is how are you all going to solve this?"
"Well I was certain that Neptune had something in mind that she wanted to tell all of us." Jeff tells everyone and they all look at her wondering what it is
"Now that you mention it, she did want to say something but we all were busy complaining…" Alex says
"Yup, that I do! It completely slipped my mind, too." Neptune admits "Y'see, I was thinking, since times are tough, we should get through this as one big team instead of dealing with it individually."
"A surprisingly good idea coming from you, Neptune. I was starting to feel like I was at my limits working alone." Blanc says admitting feeling tired from the current problems they are having
"So all of us working together to solve this issue, I gotta hand it to you Neptune that is something I never expect from you." Jeff says to her
"Helping each other out, huh…? I do think it's a good idea, but it'll probably be spun in a way that'll just fan the flames…" Noire says
"I can see the criticisms in tomorrow's headlines: "THE NEW WORLD ORDER HAS BEGUN!" or "Meet the CPUs Who Can't Do Anything On Their Own." Vert exclaims
"I-I think you might be thinking a little too pessimistically…" Nepgear tells her
"You'd understand if you'd been hounded by criticisms for this long…" Blanc tells Nepgear. "Imagine if every one of your good intentions were skewed by the public so fault was found in them. You'd get pretty pessimistic, too."
"Well for us it is criticising us because of our leave… I'm sure they wouldn't want to know what we had to go through just to keep another danger coming to Gamindustri…" Alex explains
"But, I think it's worth trying! Since this is Neptune we're talking about, I'm sure she has an amazing idea!" Uni says
"I think your expectations are too high, but… What do you think, Neptune?" Noire turns to her wondering what she is thinking.
"Well, I think it'd be awesome if all our nations got together and threw a giant festival!" Neptune exclaims
"A festival? Our nations already have those every year." Noire tells her
"She's right. Why would you bring something such as a festival up?" James asks
"You're both thinking too small. I wanna set up a multi-nation festival. a festival to celebrate all of Gamindustri! And we can use up everyone's national budgets to throw the biggest party ever!" Neptune exclaims with excitement
"I think that's going a little too far…" Nepgear tells her while Jeff had the biggest smirk on his face.
"Are you kidding?! That's awesome!" Jeff shouts out
"Wait are you serious bro?!" Adam asks him worried about the money
"We won't spend all our money for this, but creating the largest event Gamindustri has ever seen? If we all pitched in and worked on bringing the best one yet, the citizens will have to drop all those negative rumors and comments we are getting!" Jeff tells his brother which he lets out a relieved sigh. "So how about it everyone? You all ready to bring out the Gamindustri Appreciation Festival?!"
"YEAH!" Everyone cheers together
Hyperdimension Guardians G
Months have passed of planning for the Special Event the CPUs, Protectors, and their younger siblings worked hard for everything until they put it into action and now the Festival was successfully executed. Before it began the rumors were increasing, but until it started the rumors stopped for it seems people were having too much fun to care about spreading rumors.
"I'm relieved the festival opened without a hitch." Uni says as she walks together down the roads with Nepgear, Adam, and Noble seeing the people have set up Food stalls around everywhere.
"Me too. I thought there would be a lot of backlash, but people from all the nations happily worked together, which helped a lot." Nepgear says happily
"That definitely surprised me. It'd be sweet if everyone's faith in our older siblings was restored after this, even just a little bit." Uni says
"Well it seems a whole lot of people are really enjoying the festival. They all worked so hard on." Adam says with a smile
"Adam you lost your shirt." Noble tells him and he freaks out. As he hurries to get a new shirt on, the twins along with Seth and Mark arrive.
"Nepgear! Uni! We found you!" Ram exclaims as the twins run to the two girls excited
"Hey guys, took a while to find you." Seth says as he and Mark go to Adam and Noble.
"Sorry we were walking a bit looking at how everything was doing here." Noble tells them
"Hey I think it's almost time!" Mark exclaims to them
"For what?" Adam asks confused
"You know, for the Grand Tag-Team Tournament Finals! Our older siblings are fighting, so we gotta go cheer 'em on!" Mark tells them and Ram was already on the move and Rom follows behind.
"Hey, don't leave us behind! Wait up!" Uni yells out and the 6 follow to catch up to them.
After finally going through the final parts for the festival to end, it now comes to it's final day. The Grand Tag-Team Tournament Finals being a Battle Royal against four pairs, each pair representing the CPU and Protector of their nation.
"So it finally comes down to the 8 of us." James says with a smirk on his face cracking his knuckles.
"This is perfect. Let's use this chance to see which pair is the strongest Goddess and Protector!" White Heart exclaims gripping her axe as Alex draws five cards into his hand ready for battle.
"Let us see what the Heart of the Cards give to us in this battle!" Alex exclaims activating his Duel Disk
"Splendid. This is the perfect opportunity for us to show off our strength before all the nations." Green Heart says twirling her spear and getting into her battle stance and Isaac pulling out the Master Sword and his Shield.
"I shall use my skills in weaponry to win this battle for us!" Isaac says twirling his sword a bit and ready to fight
"Goodness, you all get so overly confident when you're in your HDD forms." Purple Heart tells them as she raises her sword also ready
"But that's what makes everything so exciting!" Jeff says with his hands on fire. "I'm all fired up and ready for action!"
"Then let's all give everything we got for an intense Tag-Team Battle Royal and-" before Alex could finish
"Hang on Alex…" Jeff interrupts him looking in one direction and the others notice he must have sensed something and look where he was staring towards. "Who are you four? What do you want?" He asks four mysterious girls that came into the arena.
"You say you don't know who we are, huh? Well… let me enlighten you." A woman in blue says.
"We are those who reign from the four Golden Summits." A second woman tells them. "We will call ourselves… the Gold Third."
The first woman has pale brown hair worn in a loose, low ponytail held by a white and orange pill-shaped ornament. She wears a blue beret lined with black and gold with a gold C on the side. Her outfit is composed of a revealing white and black bikini-inspired piece worn under an opened blue, gold, and black outfit with a C-shaped belt on the bottom. Two thin blue straps stretch across her stomach, while around her neck is a thin blue band with a gold clasp. She wears brown tights with a single X-shaped wrap on the left leg held by a gold piece. Her boots are blue with black and gold accenting. On top of each boot is a gold loop attachment, and material of black sticks out of the top of each boot. On each arm is a short black sleeved attached to her middle finger on a gold ring with a sheer gold bracelet on each wrist.
The first girl has medium length dark gray hair held by a red headband. She has straight cut bangs and wears the longer hair before her ears in thin braids. Her outfit is composed of a short dark gray dress with a black belt accented by gold. On top of this is a red and white dress resembling a school uniform with gold buttons and a four-tailed bow of goldenrod with a red K in the center. The dress is split from the chest down to the bottom. Two red ribbon tails can be seen sticking out from the bottom of her dress. On her wrist is a red and white bracelet on a black band with a white K on the top. She wears socks with white miniature boots with a black band across the toe and red strings.
The other girl has blonde hair worn in pigtails held by a loose red loop. Her bangs are split in the center to frame her face. She wears an orange dress with two white lines on the torso and a red and white pocket on the left side. Spiked red material sticks out of the bottom, while red material stretches from the chest to the neck with an orange sphere in the center. Her boots are red with two white straps on the toe and red bottom, with translucent orange material on the top half lined in white exposing her pale orange socks. Her gloves are red with loose orange translucent cuffs lined in white with a single button, along with pale orange sleeves that end below her shoulder. On her head is a white and orange cap with a big red button on the side.
The second woman has spiked platinum-silver hair. She wears a dark gray tank top with gold accenting and a dark brown belting below the chest. Her lower half consists of dark gray shorts with a white, gold, and black split skirt on top of it held by a dark brown belt with a black sphere in the middle of a gold ornament. Attached to the skirt is white and gold material with crimson coloring inside. Her shoes are a pair of dark brown and gold boots that end a few inches above her knee. On each hand is a dark brown and gold glove with a black holed sleeve for her right arm and wrapping on her left. She has a simple earring on the left ear.
Each of the four girls had gold colored eyes also with some interesting equipment on them.
"Gold Third?! What kind of group of girls call themselves that when there are four of you?" James asks them. "Also we are a bit busy with a match right now."
"So rude! Can't you see we're livening up this boring party?" The blonde girl tells them. "Normally, for this kinda service, I'd charge you guys more than you could afford!"
"Is money your objective? Even if you were to extort us, we are not about to hand over control of Gamindustri." Green Heart warns them
"Control of Gamindustri? … Not interested." The silver haired woman says to them with no emotion.
"Then what the hell is it? Are you little doggies gonna bark all day or are you gonna freakin' bite?" White Heart asks starting to get pissed off.
"Heh. That's right. I've always wanted to try my hand against a CPU and Protector." The brunette says raising her hands into a fighting stance.
"So it's a fight you four want?" Jeff says punching his fists together. "You know I actually do want to have a warm-up so you'll be a good test!"
"Hang on Jeff, let the four of us handle them." Purple Heart tells him who is feeling confident.
"You sure about that? Something about these girls seems odd…" He tells her strangely feeling an unknown power from the mysterious group that arrived.
"I am sure that we can take them on. You won't have to worry." Purple Heart tells him "Do you all believe you can win against us?"
"It isn't a question. It will simply be done." The grey haired girl says sounding serious.
"Guys, let's give them a power boost to make it more interesting for those girls." James tells them and they get to the sidelines and agree. Jeff used his power to enhance Purple Heart's sword with his Slayer magic flowing with Fire. James allows Black Heart's sword to switch between the three elemental buffs. Alex summons a Blue Eyes White Dragon and fused it into White Heart gaining Armor that has similar looks to it plus her Axe changes form. Isaac allows Green Heart to use the four special powers he uses.
"This should be really interesting." Isaac says as they watch the battle between the CPUs and Gold Third begins. Each one was set like one against one since there were Four from both groups.
Purple Heart was fighting against the blonde girl who wields a large launcher gun and firing from range. Purple Heart leaps into the air and then swings her sword which makes a wave of fire going towards the girl. She dodges the fire and aims her weapon at the CPU and fires which Purple Heart dodges the attack and then takes a stance as her Sword Glows Red and the fire extends and swings her sword down moving the stream of fire at the Blonde girl knocks her away some distance.
"Well looks like I can use my weapon to create a similar attack." Purple Heart says with a smirk and she charges towards the blonde girl to continue the fight.
"Did Neptune just use the Wing Attack move you use?" James asks Jeff who has a smirk.
"Looks like the girl is finding a way to use my magic for battle now to make it interesting." Jeff says still grinning as Purple Heart continues dodging and getting close enough and suddenly her leg conjures fire and she kicks the girl's launcher getting an opening and strikes her heavily.
"Dang, I wasn't expecting moves like that. But I won't go down so easily!" the blonde girl says and continues her fight against Purple Heart.
Black Heart is currently dealing with the gray haired girl which she is having a rough time getting closer because that girl is using guns as her weapon. Black Heart then slows down and then leaps up over the opponent getting next to her and her sword is surrounded in electricity and strikes having the girl get knocked away and gets further distance and Black Heart has a fiery aura from her hand and launches fire blast at the girl.
"Ha, looks like Neptune isn't the only one to be able use her Protector's powers when linked." Black Heart says and flies at the gray haired girl as she dodges and blocks incoming bullets with her sword.
"So you have some tricks… Let me show you mine!" the gray haired girl says and continues her fight with Black Heart.
White Heart is up against the brunette who fights with hand to hand combat which made the fight between the two intense. White Heart was able to land powerful hits with her powered up axe, she swings causing the brunette to guard and knocks her back. White Heart then felt a powerful energy wanting to burst.
"Burst Stream of Destruction!" She shouts out as she thrusts and arm and lets out a stream of energy causing an explosion at the brunette girl with a few burns on her. "HA take that! This is what Alex's strength gives me!"
"Surprising, I guess you do have some tricks up your sleeves. Let me show you what I can do." The brunette charges towards White Heart to continue the fight.
Green Heart is currently dealing with the silver-haired woman wielding a one-handed sword. She of course has worked her hardest with Isaac before and trained against his different sets of weapons he carries, most was him using a one-handed sword so she could expect when to dodge and block attacks. The silver haired woman leaps for a downward strike and Green Heart used one of Isaac's powers by forming a barrier instantly blocking the strike though it only slightly cracks it a bit. Then Green Heart snaps her fingers causing a lightning strike to hit her opponent and unable to move for a while and she takes then chance to thrust her spear knocking the silver haired woman some distance away.
"So it seems all of us have adapted to use some abilities off our own Protectors. It might cause this to be difficult for all of you." Green Heart taunts the silver haired woman.
"How unexpected… seems we underestimate your abilities with your Protectors… however we have tricks of our own." The silver haired woman says and suddenly the guys felt a strange power increase from the Gold Third members and each let out a powerful attack that caused all the CPUs to be blasted and knocked down easily suddenly.
"What in the hell?! What just even happened?!" Alex asks in disbelief as the other three were complete shock after what they just witnessed.
"This can't be… We're going to... lose?!" Black Heart asks also in disbelief as she could barely stand up along with the other three having trouble also.
"This isn't possible…" Purple Heart says
"I didn't think we would win." the brunette says actually amazed of their victory
"But of course we would! We're strong, after all!" the blonde girl says happily
"This can't be happening… alright guys time to show what we will do!" Jeff tells the other three. But before they could Jeff heard a mysterious voice
"The time has come. I've been waiting for this moment." a dark female voice spoke up getting Jeff's attention. "This world and its CPUs and Protectors can no longer fight against these negative emotions."
"Wait!/Hold on!" the voice of the Older Neptune and other Jeff spoke up suddenly.
"Is that…?" Jeff quietly asks himself
"You can't! Anything but that…!" Older Neptune says until a bright light blinds everyone in the arena.
"Now, let us begin the reorganization of this world… this… Gamindustri." The last words were said by a mysterious dark male voice this time and everyone blacked out.
In the fields of Planeptune laid Jeff who was currently unconscious until he started walking up, he stands up and maintains his balance until he regained his senses.
"Oh my head… what happened…?" Jeff asks himself and looks around the area and noticed that his friends weren't around. "James? Alex?! Isaac?! … what happened… are the others alright?" Jeff looked around worried and he tries to remember what has happened before blacking out. "I remember that Neptune and the others lost to those girls who called themselves Gold Third, then suddenly there was a bright flash of light… reorganization…?" he remembers hearing the strange mysterious voices that are unrecognizable, but can't understand what they were talking about. Then suddenly his train of thought was interrupted by a ringing sound coming from his gauntlet and he answered the call. "Hello!"
"Jeff?! Thank god you're alright!" James voice spoke through
"Oh James! What a relief! Hey, are you alright and where are you right now?" Jeff asks concerned about his friend
"Honest to the goddesses, I am completely unsure. However I do believe I am someplace in Lastation. The area I am in seems to be familiar." James explains
"To me I believe I am in Leanbox." Isaac says
"Same here. I'm sure I am somewhere in Lowee." Alex says
"Isaac! Alex! It's good to hear from you guys!" Jeff says thankful to hear them sounding alright.
"Likewise, Jeff. But how in the world did this happen?" Isaac asks
"I remember the girls were possibly having the equal field against Gold Third. Then as we were about to jump in we blacked out, and now suddenly we are now in random places." Alex explains
"Seems we all are in a similar situation. You guys don't have your CPU around nearby right?" James asks them
"Apparently no, and the worst thing is I believe the gauntlet to locate our CPUs has been destroyed. I was barely able to get a connection with you all." Isaac explains to them "Now I believe there is something bigger than we would have imagined now."
"Do you mean those towers?" James asks and Jeff looks up and over the mountains of where he is at he could see four Golden Towers in the distance.
"Golden Summits…" Jeff remembers what one of the Gold Third members said. "I wonder if Gold Third is connected with those towers that are now there suddenly."
"That were my thoughts exactly. But for now I believe it is best we return to the Nations, look for our CPUs, as well as the younger siblings!" Isaac explains and the others agree.
"We are currently clueless at the situation, and to make matters worse I believe our gauntlets will lose power any moment now. So we might have to leave and destroy them so no one uses it." James explains to them
"Yea… kinda sucks that we had these when he were first found by our CPUs." Alex says remembering the days of him and Blanc.
"I'll go see Histoire and see if she could make a replacement for us all." Jeff tells them as his last words before the gauntlet lost its power and died disabling the conversation. "Might as well make my way over to the city." Jeff pulls off the gauntlet as he and the others agreed to remove the Gauntlets and then destroyed them. "Guys… be careful… for I fear that something big must have caused this to happen." Jeff starts making his way towards Planeptune
