Hyperdimension Neptunia is owned by Compile Heart, Idea Factory, Sega and whomever else worked on it.
...Well, this chapter is much longer than I remember it being when I wrote it.
Chapter 58
Kei stared at the viewing screens that she and Gernia G. were looking at, showing the outcomes of the fights each of the CPU Candidates had with those interlopers. "How? What?"
"Impressive," Gernia G. said while looking impressed. "To think that they were beaten so easily." She shook her head, sighing. "I knew that I should have put a cerebral cortex implant chip into each of them, we could have shut off their conscious minds and made them fight without thinking."
Kei gave her a dirty look. "Didn't you also say that it would limit their effectiveness in combat by almost half?"
"Did I say that?" Gernia G. blinked before thinking about it. "Well, it wouldn't surprise me if it was that much, best case scenario would be by thirty-five percent or so."
"That's why I didn't do it." Kei muttered and slammed her hands on the console in frustration. "How? HOW?!"
"I did warn you, Kei." Anonydeath's voice popped up as his face appeared on the screen. "That those cuties needed more time for the brainwashing to fully settle in. A week at least, a month would have been best, but you went and pushed them into eliminating those that they cared about super fast." He shook his head. "I wouldn't be surprised that even if you had succeeded and killed Noire with your scheme that her little sister wouldn't have broken free of her brainwashing on her own." For some reason, Kei just imagined him giving her a smug look, which was hard to do considering his helmet and visor didn't let her see anything about his face.
"So, what do we do now?" Gernia G. asked Kei.
"...Singe, are you there?" Kei asked as she pushed a button on the console. When Singe's face appeared on screen, he gave her a nod. "Are you near?"
"Not quite. But I can be there in three minutes."
"You have two."

Meanwhile...
"Big sis!" Purple Heart turned and saw Ram hobbling her way over to Purple Heart while waving her hands. "I'm okay!"
"Ram!" Purple Heart smiled and hovered over to the girl, hugging her. "I'm glad." She looked and saw Compa and Warechu coming from behind. "Compa? I'm surprised you're here."
The blonde smiled at her. "Someone has to make sure that Nep Nep has a happy home to come back to, right? Besides, I wanted to help."
Purple Heart nodded and moved her hand down to lift Ram up, only to get a hiss from the girl as her hand went under Ram's rear end. "Ram, what's wrong?" She asked in concern.
"..Compa gave me a spanking." Ram whimpered as she remembered the pain and humiliation she suffered from Compa. "It stopped me, but my butt's really sore right now."
Behind Purple Heart, Black Void actually laughed while she walked up to them while carrying Uni. "Didn't you tell me that the way to break them out of their mind control was to give them a big spanking?"
Purple Heart sweat-dropped and looked back at Black Void, giving her an annoyed look. "I didn't mean give them a literal spanking." At least it worked, that much was certain.
After fussing over Ram and making sure that she was otherwise okay, Purple Heart was practically tackled by Rom, who came running out of nowhere to give her a flying tackle-hug. "Ooof!" Purple Heart gasped as Rom's knees accidentally went digging into her stomach, knocking the wind out of her temporarily.
"Big sis!" Rom looked at Purple Heart with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I thought..."
Purple Heart smiled and simply hugged Rom to her chest. "It's okay, Rom. I know you didn't mean anything by it." She looked at Gust, who looked a bit extra crispy, but otherwise okay. "Gust, you saved Rom?" The bunny girl nodded and Purple Heart smiled at her. "Thank you. You look injured."
"A little extra crispy, but Gust is otherwise okay." She said, wincing at the cramps in her legs, back and arms. "...Gust needs a massage though. Can you teleport Gust back to Leanbox for one?"
"Sorry, that's not in my skill set." Purple Heart told her. "If you're hurting, you can just stay back."
"Good, because Gust wants to take a nap." She stretched her arms over her head and winced as her back popped. 'Yep, getting too old for this shit.'
"Are we having fun?" A new voice spoke up as Chrome and Filyn walked up to the group. "I take it that everything's been settled?" Chrome asked as she saw everyone was either relaxed or just not hostile. "...What's wrong with that one?" She asked while looking at Uni.
"...I blasted her with a stun shot." Black Void told her. "It should wear off, but..." She sighed. "Where's Steamax? I know I programmed him with information on how to unlock muscle cramps."
"I'm right here, Lady Noire." Steamax said as he dropped down from the sky behind Black Void holding Linda in one hand and Peashy in the other. "Sadly, this CPU Candidate is still..."
"Grr!" Peashy growled as she tried to struggle out of Steamax's grip while tied up. "Pea will smash all you bad people!" She hated how she couldn't get out of the bindings she was in, despite only being out cold for a minute at most.
Looking at Peashy sadly, Purple Heart put Rom down and then looked at Compa. "Compa, do you have any needles on you?" Compa gave her a confused look but nodded. "Could you show them to Peashy?" She looked at Steamax. "You can put her down right here." She gestured in front of her. "But Uni and Gust need some attention, if you know how to undo cramps in their bodies?"
"I can do that." Steamax said as he put Peashy down in front of Purple Heart and walked over to Black Void while taking Uni from her to help the girl get feeling in her body again.
Sitting on the ground, Peashy glared at Purple Heart. "Pea will smash the bad CPU!"
Purple Heart mentally grimaced, but didn't let it show on her face. "Compa, show Peashy your needles."
Compa nodded and pulled out a large syringe and needle, causing Peashy to stare, her pupils shrinking as she saw it. "Should I give the naughty girl a shot in the butt?"
"AHHH! SCARY POKEY!" Peashy screamed and tried to get away from the scary needle, causing everyone but Purple Heart and Compa to sweat-drop at seeing the display.
"I dunno about you, but I'd be scared of a giant needle if I was tied up." Filyn muttered.
"Considering that we were all injected with something while tied up, I think it's understandable." Uni muttered as she got feeling back in her limbs and was helped to her feet by Steamax and Black Void. "Thanks." He nodded to her and walked over to Gust, who looked at him nervously, but allowed him to massage her arms.
While Steamax worked Gust's arms and legs over, causing the bunny girl to let out a loud moan of pleasure, Purple Heart looked at Peashy, who was scooting away while looking at them in fear. "P-Ko..." She said softly before an idea came to her. 'Well, if she's afraid of needles and she has my P-ko's weird sense of what's cool, maybe...'
"What?" Peashy glared at Purple Heart while struggling in her binds.
"Did you ever hear the story of the brave warrior Ai-chan?" Purple Heart asked, causing Peashy to blink in confusion. "She fought to save her princess from the evil Pish before the vile demon lord Pururut could be summoned to the world."
"Woooooaaaah!" Peashy's eyes sparkled. "What happened?"
"The brave warrior Ai-chan was cursed by Demons so that whenever her blood would boil, she'd release the fires of hell out of her cursed right hand."
Compa and Linda both looked at each other in confusion and then back at Purple Heart and Peashy. Both of them recognized those statements as something that IF would say from time to time when she was trying to relieve stress and have some fun, as much as her burned body allowed her to at least.
"Uh huh! So what happened?" Peashy asked, getting excited.
"Well, before that..." Purple Heart pulled out a pudding cup with her name on it. "I think I'll have a pudding."
"HUH?!" More than one person yelled at once.
"You can't just leave us all hanging!" Black Void, to everyone's surprise, yelled in frustration. "...What? I want to know more."
Purple Heart resisted the urge to laugh. 'Even here you're a Chuuni, huh, Noire?' She thought to herself, remembering how her Noire and IF had combined their Chuunibyou attitudes to create a combination attack of dark hellfire.
At least that's what they claimed, Purple Heart privately just thought they were just using it as an excuse to have some fun role playing while slaughtering monsters together.
"Nep... Pudding?" Peashy asked as Purple Heart held it at such an angle that she could read it. "Nep...Nappu...Neppu..." Her eyes widened as memories of the woman in front of her returned. "Nep...Neptuna?" Her eyes started to water as she sniffled. "Neptuna! WAAAAH!"
Purple Heart smiled and quickly released Peashy from her restraints as she hugged the girl tightly. "That's right, P-Ko... Your Neptuna is here." She whispered as tears filled her eyes.
Sadly, the touching scene was cut short as a shadow formed overhead and everyone looked up to see the C.I.D. overhead.
Mentally sighing, Purple Heart gave Peashy a kiss on the forehead and put her down. "So what's going on now?"
Black Void simply called up a screen and Kei and Gernia G. appeared on it. "What are you planning now?" She narrowed her eyes at the look on Kei's face. "It's over. Just tell me what you really are planning."
Kei narrowed her eyes on the screen. "I absolutely loathe you. You were born with everything, looks, power, position and everything, yet you don't care to use it."
"Like you would?" Black Void asked, raising an eyebrow.
Kei snarled at her. "I had to claw, scratch and fight my way up in the world, and yet, there you are, sitting on your ass, everything handed to you while the rest of us suffer." Her glare increased as Black Void merely yawned at her. "You bitch..."
"As you once said," Black Void smirked at her, "it takes a bitch to know a bitch."
"...Fair enough." Kei conceded. "But that's enough of that. I think it's time for your reign to come to an end." She snapped her fingers. "BRAVE!"
As the C.I.D. opened its doors, everyone watched as a large object fell to the ground below, transforming into a humanoid shape.
"What the fuck?!" Gust, Linda, Warechu and, shockingly, Compa all yelled out at the same time.
"...Compa knows how to swear?" Purple Heart asked, shock in her voice and on her face as her eyes were white and blank. "That's the most surprising thing since I've come to this world!"
"Lady Noire, this is..." Steamax trailed off as Brave landed not far from them. While the other robot wasn't a super giant, he was still larger than all of them by a decent amount. "What should we do?"
Black Void pointed her sword at Brave. "You beat me before, I admit."
"Then surrender." Brave told her as he stood up and pulled out his sword, pointing it at Black Void. "You lack the same power that you had last time. And even if you have a ninja, we both know the results of such a fight."
"You're forgetting one thing," Purple Heart said to the lion-chested robot as she stepped forward and pointed her large katana at him. "There's more than just Black Void and Steamax that you face this time."
"That's right." Uni said as she pulled out her shotgun and glared at Brave. "I won't let you hurt sis like you did last time."
Rom and Ram both nodded as they formed staves in their hands. "You captured us," Ram began as magic began to charge up in her body.
"And then forced us to fight our big sister and friends!" Rom finished as the air crackled with power.
"I do believe that I have some frustration to work out as well." Chrome said to Brave. "I do wish that I had my mace, but I think I'll be fine."
The others said nothing but they gave Brave a hard stare.
"I see," Brave nodded to them as his sword lit up with flames. "I commend your bravery, all of you. But it will be useless against me." His shoulder cannons formed and he fired a blast at the group, who all jumped out of the way of the attack.
"Thunder..." Rom began as she touched down on the ground, "Buster!" A beam with lightning crackling around it erupted from her staff and she stared in surprise as Brave fired a stream of energy from his shoulder cannons at it, causing the attack to destabilize and explode a safe distance away from him.
"You seem surprised." Brave told her. "While you were all captured, poked, prodded and scanned, all of your powers and abilities were used to upgrade my abilities."
"Oh yeah?" Uni said as Steamax ran by with her on his shoulders. "Try again!" She fired a shot, only to find that her shotgun blast, which could knock over an armored truck with ease, bounced harmlessly off of his shield. "SHIT!"
"I told you," Brave yelled as he swung he sword out, sending a wave of energy that sent Steamax, Uni, Rom and Ram flying backwards. "It's useless, just give up."
"That's not the way we do things!" Filyn yelled as she came rushing in with Peashy next to her. "Peashy! NOW!"
"Pea Cannonball..."
"STRIKE!" Filyn finished as she swung her weapon with all her might, hitting Peashy's body and sending the small CPU Candidate into Brave, causing him to get knocked off of his feet and land on his back hard.
Sadly, this did nothing but cause Brave to activate his thrusters and fly away until he was back on his feet. "Well, that was impressive." Brave muttered before rushing forward at speeds that the others had a hard time keeping up with as he seemingly teleported to where Peashy was still recovering from her attack. "Now, die!"
His flaming sword descended upon Peashy, who looked up at it in horror.
Two loud clangs rang out as Purple Heart and Black Void crossed their swords over Brave's in an "X" pattern, holding him off. "P-Ko! Run!" Purple Heart yelled as she and Black Void tried their hardest to push Brave back. 'Dammit, I'm just not strong enough like this.' She could tell she was running low on power too. Between the corruption of the Fearicite and the fact that she hadn't had time to recover from everything that had happened since she got to Lastation, her body was starting to get worn down.
Black Void grimaced as she was pushed back by Brave. "What the hell is with this strength?"
Purple Heart grunted as she was forced to her knees. "If we could just get a moment..."
"We got you!" Uni said as she took a shot with her energy rifle while Rom and Ram backed her up with long-range magic.
"USELESS!" Brave yelled and fired his shoulder cannons, sending a large blast out that connected with their shots, causing them all to explode.
"Noire!" Purple Heart yelled and both CPUs managed to push Brave away enough to get out from under him as his flaming sword came crashing down where they were.
Both CPUs slid backwards, panting from the effort to block his attacks.
"All I can say is at least he's not trying to capture and tentacle us." Purple Heart muttered, thankful for small miracles at least.
"No, just kill us." Black Void commented before giving Purple Heart an angry look with blank, white eyes. "And what's with the capture and tentacle part? He already did the capturing part!"
Purple Heart gave her a wry grin. "Well, when I was captured by his leader, I ended up being bound by tentacles for three years."
"...I really want to hear more of what you've been through." Black Void muttered and looked back at Brave as he stood tall over them. "Sounds more interesting than what I've gone through in life."
"What do we do, Chromey?" Filyn asked and looked at her sister. "If he's got data on all of us and can counter all of our abilities..."
Chrome frowned and wondered what she could do, her razor wires could, at most. scratch him and she hadn't built up enough drive meter for her EXE attack again. 'Even if I had my mace...' Her thoughts trailed off, knowing that even if she gave it to someone fast enough to hit him, such as Steamax, it was doubtful any of them could lift the thing and not be adversely affected by its weight. "So what can I... Huh?" She blinked as she felt her hand brush against something. Looking down, she saw the wristwatch that she had taken and remembered Noire mentioning something about an experimental weapon system. "No time like the present to try, huh?" She put her thumb on the screen and when it turned green, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Access!"
"Huh?" Filyn looked at Chrome as she was bathed in a green light. When the light ended, she stared as her elder sister was standing there in a skin-tight black body suit that did nothing to hide her curves and had a masked helmet on her head.
"...I feel like I'm wearing nothing at all." Chrome muttered as she looked herself over. There were some silver lining on the body suit, but it otherwise covered every inch of skin from her neck down while being so skin tight that she was surprised that the outline of her nipples and other naughty parts weren't being on display.
Taking a quick glance behind her, she saw her reflection on a shiny surface and raised an eyebrow. 'Well, at the very least my butt looks really nice right now.'
"Weapon system online. Armor enhancements activate."
Chrome looked at her wrist and tilted her head. "Why does it feel like I should do a pose or something?" Thinking about it for a moment, she nodded her head and held her arms to the side. "Fuck it! Let's just go all out here." Putting her right arm into the sky, she and Filyn watched as things flew right at her, wrapping around her arms and legs, wrapping them in armor. Her legs were encased in metal armor before a chest plate appeared on her body and smaller armor parts covered her shoulders, stomach and sides.
When the armor was done attaching itself to her, Chrome looked like she was wearing a full-body suit of armor.
Moving her hands around while staring at her body, Chrome nodded. "Well, this is interesting." And she had no idea what this suit could do. "If only I knew..."
"Welcome to LSVRP. Would you like a tutorial on how to use the basics of the system and the suit?"
Chrome shook her head. "Just tell me what this thing can do."
"Affirmative. This exo-suit comes equipped with chain blaster and boosts the user's performance by a factor of three."
"...So how come this suit is not red?" Chrome asked the suit.
"All factors, not just speed, are increased, so that is why." The suit replied.
"I see, does it have flight?"
"Yes."
Chrome smirked and activated the flight abilities of the suit.
And shot straight into the air. "WAAAAGH!"
On the ground, Filyn stared and twitched a few times. "Who knew that CPUs sucked at flying when it wasn't under their own power?" It was kind of amusing to watch her sister fly around in an uncontrollable manner while doing all sorts of flips, spins and dips at high speed, though.
No, Filyn was NOT upset at Chrome using her EXE attack on her, but this was still amusing.
(-)
Not far away, Black Void fired blasts at Brave, who simply countered them just as easily as he countered the CPU Candidates. Even Purple Heart's sword spam was easily dealt with. "Okay, I'm running out of ideas here." Black Void huffed as she was starting to run out of breath.
"I've got a couple of ideas, but I need him to..."
"WAAAAAAAAGH!" A voice came out of nowhere and everyone stared in shock as someone in an armored suit of some sort slammed into Brave, forcing him to slide back several feet as his boosters kept him from crashing to the ground.
"Now!" Purple Heart's pupils shrank as an idea came to her. Turning to Black Void, she nodded. "Listen, I know we don't really have time to build up our Lily Rank or anything like that, so can we just skip that?" Black Void gave her a confused look, but nodded. "Okay, great. I need you to put all your trust in me."
"Huh?" Black Void was confused as Purple Heart came up to her. "What do you mean?"
Purple Heart smiled at her softly. "I have a move that will work and it actually needs less energy from me than my other EXE drives."
"...Wait, you have TWO?!" Black Void pouted at that. "No fair, I only have one."
"Three, but one I can't use right now." Purple Heart muttered, "and that's what kind of privilege being the main character grants you."
"Fine, I'll let you do what you need. So what..." Black Void blinked as she felt a surge of power going through her. "What?"
"Thanks, Noire." Purple Heart smiled as her sword disappeared. "Let's do this! HDD: Noire!"
"WHAAAA AAAHHH AAAAH!" Black Void screamed as she was bathed in black and white energies, transforming herself into an extremely large and wicked looking sword with sharp, jagged edges on the blade. "What the hell is this?!"
Purple Heart grabbed the sword by the hilt and rushed forward. "Just trust me and let's end these foolish ambitions for good."
"Sounds good to me." The sword said as Brave looked at the CPU rushing in and ignited his sword to strike Purple Heart down.
He was interrupted as Rom, Ram and Uni all fired at him, forcing him to return fire to block their attack and allow Purple Heart to get close to him. "Just FRY!" He yelled and swung his sword down at them.
"SAME TO YOU!" Both Purple Heart and Black Void yelled at the same time as Brave swung at them, their blades crossing in a very loud clang that created a flash of light that forced everyone to look away.
When the light faded, everyone saw Brave with his body bent over and his sword fully extended with Purple Heart still holding the over-sized sword in a similar position behind him.
Purple Heart grimaced and fell to a knee while letting go of the sword, allowing it to revert to Black Void, who landed on her butt. "Darn it, I knew he was strong, but..."
Brave suddenly started to chuckle. "Impressive. An attack I had no data on, no way of countering and you used it to win." At that moment Brave's sword broke in half and slid to the ground. "CPU... Purple Heart and CPU Black Void, I thank you for the fight. I only wish that I had not been programmed to fight against you."
"...If I get through this," Black Void told him, "maybe I'll see about having you rebuilt with the proper programming."
"Thank you." Brave said as a line formed in a diagonal direction from his right shoulder down to his hip and his body slid apart in a heap.
"...I'm surprised." Purple Heart said as she and Black Void helped each other stand up. "I would think you wouldn't like him."
"He's not human." Black Void told her instantly. "And having someone like that around would make it easier for me to deal with problems other than just obvious threats her in Lastation."
Purple Heart smiled at her softly.
"I apologize, Lady Noire, for disappearing in that battle." Steamax said as he walked forward, dragging two people with him. "But I felt that you had things well in hand and when it became obvious that I would be more of a hindrance, I thought that it would be a good idea to get these two." He threw Gernia G. and Kei to the ground in front of him. "And bring them before you."
"Well?" Black Void narrowed her eyes at Kei. "What have you got to say for yourself?"
"I might be able to convince Noire to take it easy on you, depending on what your answer is." Purple Heart said.
"Well..." Gernia G. muttered as she looked at the upset CPU Candidates and the two fully realized CPUs. There were some other people glaring at her, but she didn't pay them any attention.
"WAAAAAAGH!" Chrome yelled as her suit finally stopped the flying and she crashed onto the ground. "...At least I didn't feel that." She muttered and stood up, the armor disappearing, but the body suit stayed on. "...I kind of like this spandex suit though."
"You okay?" Filyn asked, getting a nod from Chrome.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Chrome said while moving her arm to the side. "...I feel a strange urge to do lots of poses while I'm wearing this suit though."
Standing in front of the others, Kei glowered at Black Void. "You... I hate you so much. To be born on top of the world while someone like me was born into slavery..."
Black Void blinked and tapped her chin. "Oh yeah..." She muttered in disinterest. "I broke up a really big slave ring operation over fifteen years ago, didn't I?"
"Wait..." Purple Heart began and looked at Kei. "If that's the case, shouldn't you thank her for ending it?"
Kei growled at Purple Heart. "I had nothing when the ring was broken up. A six year old girl who had been trained as a slave. I had nothing and was living on the streets, fighting and scraping by to survive."
"And I discovered her five years ago as the leader of a group of gangs." Black Void commented. "I was actually impressed by her ability to organize those under her, so I brought her in to work for me."
"Your anger and plot doesn't make sense to me." Purple Heart muttered and Kei glared at her. "Well, it doesn't."
"For someone who was born with everything handed to her, who was given her role in life and never had to worry about anything," Kei snorted at her, "of course you wouldn't. You never had to work and fight to survive like I have."
"That's not fair!" Rom yelled at Kei. "Big sis is awesome and showed me and Ram what being a real CPU is like."
While Rom, Ram and Peashy defended her, Purple Heart just stared at Kei with an indescribable look on her face. "You're..." She lowered her hands and sighed. "You're not wrong." She said softly as the others looked at her, most of them in surprise.
"Big sis?" Ram asked. "Are you okay?"
"You're right, Kei," Purple Heart looked at Kei and ignored the others, "I never had to struggle like you did. In fact, I took my position and powers for granted to the point that my own citizens lost faith in me several times."
"At least one of you understands." Kei muttered and looked at Black Void.
"What?" Black Void narrowed her eyes at Kei. "Should I be sorry for you? I can't control what people do in their lives."
"You're a Goddess, aren't you?" Kei asked, glaring at her. "You have such power in you and yet you don't use it to fix the problems permanently." Her glare and obvious anger increased at the disinterested look she got in return.
"As powerful as I am, Kei," Black Void shook her head, "I'm not omnipotent. If I could clear away all the corruption of Lastation and purge the world of people who disrupt order, don't you think I would have done so years ago?" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before letting it out. "It's time," she opened them and gave Kei a look that was almost sad. "For all the sins you've committed, your only punishment is death."
Kei reached into her inventory and pulled out something that had everyone look on in shock. "Fine!" She grinned as the item in her hand started to crackle and pulse with power. "Then I'll use the rebuilt Fearicite crystal for myself!"
A pulse of power sent everyone but Kei and Gernia G., who was close to Kei, flying away.
Landing on the ground and sliding a few feet, Purple Heart stared as Kei took the Fearicite Crystal close to her. "I've got a bad feeling, why is this causing my main character warning system to scream at me?"
"I told you, Noire," Kei grinned as her body started to get flooded with power. "I could rebuild the Fearicite Crystal. And I've adjusted it so that anyone could use it if they wanted to."
As the crystal glowed and crackled, Purple Heart jerked. "No way... Anyone can use it, this is..." Memories of a certain object flooded her mind. "A CPU Memory?! You turned the Fearicite Crystal into a CPU Memory!?"
"Hmm, is that what it's called?" Kei asked, shrugging as she absorbed it and was engulfed in blinding black light. The surge of power made her feel so strong that she felt that she couldn't be hurt ever again. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
When the light ended, Kei was standing there with her hair being much longer, her skin had turned white, her eyes were gray with a Void power symbol in them and her body had changed, growing a few inches, her bust increasing to match Black Void's, her hips getting slightly wider and her chest had a hole in it while she was covered in a body suit that was black that covered her chest, abdomen and crotch with armored parts on her arms and legs while leaving parts of her chest and sides exposed.
"Steamax!" Black Void yelled, "why didn't you stop her?"
"I apologize." Steamax said as he jumped away from Kei's new HDD form. "I wanted to, but I was stopped due to the programming that was placed upon me when I was rebuilt."
Black Void growled as Kei stood there, generating a ton of power. "Okay, what should we do now?"
"...This is wrong." Purple Heart muttered as she took a trembling step back. "This is too much power for a fresh CPU. Even Yellow Heart never generated this much power and she had the entire world's shares powering her."
Hell, now that Purple Heart thought about it, the feeling she was getting from this exceeded even CFW Magic or Rei's HDD powers. "It's almost like..." Her face paled and her pupils shrank. "No... STOP! DISENGAGE YOUR HDD!"
"And why should I?" Kei countered as she formed a helmet on her head that looked like it had horns on the side with a red visor over her eyes, a red button on top with a Void power symbol on it and six black wings, three on each side, formed on her back. "I feel so powerful right now." She threw her head back and laughed while snapping her right arm to the side as a large broadsword covered it. "I'll destroy all of you right now!"
Taking a stance, Kei was about to move forward when she felt her whole body throb and power, far more than before, started to flood her. "What... What's going on!?"
"...Those who aren't compatible with a CPU Memory turn into a horrible monster." Purple Heart said softly. "And it looks like this is... Wait..." She took another step back. "This isn't right, it's way more powerful."
Suddenly Kei let loose a scream and started swinging her sword arm around and around while moving erratically.
"Hey! I'm on your side! So don't GAH!" Whatever Gernia G. was about to say was cut off, as was her head, as Kei's sword cut through where she was a moment before.
"Well, she's dead." Uni muttered, glad that bitch was gone. After all, her breasts, as small as they were, still hurt from the injections that Gernia G. did, not to mention her sides, stomach and other parts that were poked and prodded.
And she didn't even want to get started on how Gernia G. made her feel labor pains. 'When this is over, maybe I can convince Noire to start some sort of holiday for women who have had kids once a year or something?'
As red lightning crackled out of Kei's skin, Black Void snarled and flipped her hip blasters forward. "Fuck this, not waiting to see what she turns into." She fired both blasts at the transforming Kei and watched as the blasts slammed into her, kicking up dust and obscuring the vision of everyone.
"You got her!" Ram cheered. "Good shot." Ram didn't mind this Void, since, unlike the other Voids, she didn't try to seriously hurt her, Rom, her big sister or anyone else in the party.
Purple Heart narrowed her eyes. "No, it didn't..."
A sudden burst of power, accompanied by a strong gust of wind interrupted her and forced everyone to look away for a moment. When the wind died down they saw Kei, unharmed, behind a barrier.
"So now..." Black Void stopped speaking as Kei let out a scream and her body was engulfed in a white light. "What the hell is going on!?"
As Purple Heart watched, she felt a surge of power that she recognized. "It... It can't be..." She, and everyone else, watched as the light faded and Kei's body started to grow...
...And grow...
...And grow...
...Before stopping off at thirty meters in the air.
"It... Can't be!" Purple Heart gasped in horror as she saw what Kei had become.
"That's right, Nepsy," she heard Kurome's voice from behind as she felt a body hug her with one hand grabbing her right breast and the other hand stroking her chin.
"Kurome?" Purple Heart whispered as she stared at what Kei had become with dread in her heart.
Kurome smiled and leaned in, giving Purple Heart a kiss on the cheek. "If you beat her, come to Planeptune, all the answers you want are there." She looked up at the transformed Kei and sighed. "That is, if you can beat her." She faded away.
"What is this thing?!" Chrome yelled out as she had never seen something like this before.
"...A Dark CPU." Purple Heart answered her. "Now I recognize her HDD. She's... Dark Black."
To be continued...
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
