Chapter 8 - Neptune vs Molly (Round 1)

The next day, Neptune woke up at the sound of her stomach growling, like usual, and stood up from her bed.

Yawning she walked out of her and Nepgear's room, she completely failed to notice a note of her sister saying she had gone to Lowee.

"Nep Jr., what are we having for breakfast~?"

She asked as she entered into the living room.

...With Molly seating on the couch of it, staring straight at her.

Neptune froze in place. "..."

Molly tilted her head. "..."

Molly cleared her throat. "You know why I'm here. Don't you?"

Neptune smiled a bit, "...Did you come to play games with your pal, Nep?"

Molly scoffs.

"Pal? Please, you're more like an enemy to me. But alas, I'll let you know something - You realise you're not clever?"

Neptune put on a 'serious face'. "I've never been the intelligent bone around here, That's why we have Nep Jr.!" She smiled.

Molly nodded. "Yes, well, she's gone out for awhile."

Neptune looked downcast, "Nepu...now what I'm going to have for breakfast?"

Molly smirked. "Well, I COULD give you this-" She produces a ? from her pocket. "And it's also your favourite type, according to your Imouto. However, should I REALLY be giving you this when you have something important to say to me? Or rather, to someone we both know?"

Neptune started to sweat, "..."

Molly's raises an eyebrow.

"Finally hit the nail on the head did I?"

Neptune felt a sweatdrop form on the back of her head. "Eeeeh?" "N-No, I-I have no idea what you're talking about..."

Molly stands up

Neptune takes a step back.

"I'll give you one minute to explain yourself." Molly said slowly and with venom in her voice.

Neptune rose her hands. "Okay...I may go to Lastation and steal some of Nowa's and Uni's panties but I swear I return them within a week!"

Molly spits onto the floor.

"You DISGUST me. You have family, and yet you're playing around with other people's clothes?"

Neptune blinked as she slightly lowered her hands. "F-Family? Hey, what does Nep Jr. have to do with this?"

Molly stepped forward one more step. "Do you want me to explain this slowly? Or quickly?"

Neptune kept taking steps back.

"Ehm...well..."

Molly raises her hand and points at Neptune, the floor becoming an almost ice trap to ordinary people... But Neptune isn't normal...

Neptune looked to the clock. "...Oh, look at the hour, I think it's time for me to ..." She then spun on her heel. "NEPDASH!"

She then started running at full speed.

Molly sighs and produces a gun from her pocket.

"I promised I wouldn't use this unless absolutely nessary... I'm sorry Purple..."

She points the gun at Neptune and fires at her right leg.

BANG.

The bullet hit straight on her leg and made her fall, some blood came out of the injury.

Neptune whined. "No fair, I'm level 99, a gun shouldn't affect me!"

Neptune shook slightly. "...Did my level...reduce again?"

Molly walks over to Neptune and kneels down next to her.

"I'll make this easy on you, as I feel sorry for your pathetic state - Why are you running from the truth?"

Neptune looked to her assailant. "W-What truth, I know nothing of a kid that just happens to look like me!"

She tried to crawl away.

Molly grabbed Neptune by the waist and hoisted her up, her strength making it almost, TOO EASY, for the former time soldier.

"You need to take responsiblity. You are her mother, and you ran away. Now, if that's not cowardly and dishonourable, I don't know what is. And to think, I even FOUGHT for your sorry ass!"

Neptune gulped. "Y-You want my answer?"

"I'll give it to you...if you promise to not kill me for it!"

Molly hummed. "You MIGHT get away with a spanking, but sure, humor me"

Neptune lowered her head. "You remember that stage of the Console War where I disappeared for practically a full year?"

Molly blinked. "Yes..."

Neptune mumbled. "Well, I was hurt and some nomads found me. They healed me and told me that I needed to rest before anything else happened"

"In there I met Momus...he and I just got along quickly and before knowing it, he had already knocked me up"

Molly rose an eyebrow as she sat down, placing Neptune over her knees.

Neptune took this as a chance to keep talking, so she did. "When I healed, I couldn't just return to the War, what if something happened to the kid?"

"So, I stayed there until I finally gave birth to Purple - I spent another week there before making my mind up."

Neptune gulped again. "I would return to the war and end it so Purple could grow in a peaceful world...and maybe the three of us could live together, as a family... Y-You know?"

"By the time the war ended...I may have...forgotten of them?"

Molly sighs and smacks Neptune on her bottom with a very harsh smack.

"That doesn't-" Another smack. "-Give you the right-" Yet another one. "To run away, the moment you remember her. They miss you, obviously." One more.

Neptune grunted in pain each time.

SMACK.

"Ow...hey, try to get me, yesterday I just remembered it!"

"W-What was I supposed to say!?" Neptune yelped.

"Hey, kiddo, I know I wasn't with you since you were just a baby, but I'm your Mother, come with me and let's forget that I was never there for you!?"

Molly growled and she sounded PISSED.

"You... You realise I lost everything before you were even born, then I fought in YOUR wars, TWICE and only NOW find out you were a mother as well!?" There was an extremely loud smack.

The floor cracked as Neptune laid in there, due to the ice that was still there.

Neptune winced. "...Ow..." She had thought about using her CPU strength but thanks to the bullet from earlier... She was helpless.

"You... You have a lot of explaining to do. I shouldn't stop spanking you, but I suppose this red mark will do." She pulls out a slipper from her inventory. "Let this be a reminder. If you EVER go near her again, without honest sincerity, I will PERSONALLY murder you. And don't think I can't. Remember what a Time Soldier is, I suspect?"

Neptune whimpered. "Y-Yes..." She honestly did, but it hurt her to even speak.

Molly sighed. "We have always been a war driven, combat-ready people. But, for something as disgraceful as this... You should know, I should've broken your tooth or at least your arm for what you've done." She took in a long breath. "I'm the daughter of Therese Polinsky... Remember her?"

Neptune closed her eyes. "...How could I not?"

Molly sighed out loudly. "I have a, lot, of power. But I also have PTSD, so I will not use it all on you... Just this" She pulled back the slipper.

"...Not in the face, please?" Neptune even now, she tried to crack a joke.

Molly sighs and smacked Neptune EXTREMELY hard against her bottom that left a trail of blood out from a small bruise, that would HURT soon enough.

"That's about the limit. Just remember what I said - You hurt Purple, or even so much as hurt her feelings, again, and I'll make sure you will NEVER forget her OR me. Got it?"

Neptune could barely make something as insignificant as a nod. And it was a pretty pathetic one.

Molly put the slipper away and produced a towel, wrapping it around Neptune's lower waist and shoving her to the ground.

"Clean yourself up. I'll message your "tome" and tell her to come by. I expect you to at least acklowedge that Purple exists. If you make either of our lives hell, I WILL NOT hesitate to kill you and that's the most darkest promise I CAN keep."

Neptune nodded again.

"Okay...I...think...I deserved...this"

Molly scoffed. "Believe me, you deserved worse. If I did HALF the things you've done, including this, I would've been wiped from existence LONG ago by my superiors."

[Neptune has fainted, you gain Zero EXP and Zero credits].

Molly chuckled.

"No surprise there."

Molly stands up and places the ?, which was a small pudding, from earlier on the ground near Neptune with a note for Histoire and a small data crystal - leaving a copy of the events in a secure file that only a tome can access.

"I suppose I should go."

Molly pressed a button on her scouter and sent a message to Histoire that it was "done" and that she could come and inspect what had happened, leaving the rather secure Basilicom quietly in her wake.

Shadic: I feel bad for Molly...

Archy: I bet some people will feel bad for Neptune o.o

Shadic: Nahhh, Molly has been through hell!

Archy: I know! Let's keep it going! :D

Shadic: ALRIGHTY! :D
