F3: As usual Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Idea Factory and Compile Heart. Since no one answered the shout out question I'll keep the answer to myself. So with that done... Game Start!
Chapter 2
The CPUs made their way toward the entrance of Virtua Forest which is commonly known place for monsters to hang out. "Okay everyone we find this Ancient Dragon and beat it to a pulp." Neptune cheered.
"Well it already looks like we've got an audience coming our way." Vert said noticing some monsters heading towards them as she summoned her spear.
"Then I guess we better make our acquaintance with them." Noire said summoning her rapier.
"We'll have to fight threw them before we can find that dragon." Blanc retort summoning her hammer.
"Then let's nep things ups." Neptune added drawing her katana from its scaber. All them readied themselves in a battle position and charged at the monsters. One by one they slashed, stabbed, and bashed their way through the forest looking for the objective monster.
"You think we would've spotted that Ancient Dragon by now." Neptune said bored.
"I hate to agree but it seems that we might have been sent on a wild goose chase." Vert added.
"We should push onward and the monster should show itself eventually." Blanc stated.
Suddenly a loud explosion could be heard in the distance getting the girls attention "That must have come from over there." Noire said.
"Let's get over there and check it out." She added.
The smoke come from further into the forest past the safe zone of the forest. Once they've reached the area where they heard the explosion they saw the amount of devastation. Trees were ripped down by something massive and the ground was cracked everywhere even slabs of the ground were ripped out.
Neptune gulped nervously "Um... whoa this is a lot of destruction for just one monster." She said nervously.
"You can say that again." Noire said.
"Yes. But where is the monster?" Vert questioned.
Blanc sweat dropped "Something tells me that were about to get the answer to that question."
And as if on cue the monster appears before them. The monster let out a mechanical roar at its prey. It looked like any regular dragon but half of it body was more cybernetic then anything from its left arm to part of its right wing and leg being metal as well.
"Well I guess he was kidding about it being a rare ancient dragon but this is a little much." Vert said getting a good look at the target ahead of them.
"Well it looks like it's going to be a toughie so I say we should transform and take care of this thing." Neptune said then a light engulfed her.
When the light faded her appearance changed. She one became taller and her hair becomes darker and longer that are worn in twin tailed braids. Her eyes have changed from purple to a more calming blue along with the hairclips turned into black circular piece with glowing blue x's on them. She's also more mature including her body being more curved. She wears a black skintight leotard with purple segments and silver pieces along it.
Her processors are light lilac wings that are almost butterfly like along with leg armor. "CPU Purple Heart ready to go." Purple Heart said confidently.
"Hey don't forget about us." Noire said also surrounded by a bright light. In her CPU form she wears a black turtleneck leotard revealing some of her cleavage. Her hair comes out of ribbons and worn down her back. Her eyes turned to glowing teal color. Her wings are six blue triangle shaped wings.
"Let me show the power of Lastation CPU." Black Heart said confidently having a more deeper sound.
Vert and Blanc followed suit transforming into their CPU forms.
As White Heart she wears a one piece white bathing suit with unattached sleeves. Her hair becomes a messy light blue color with long bangs on the sides that reach her wrists and a cowlick the points up. Finally she has crimson red eyes that could intimidate anyone. Her wings are two big light blue almost white square shaped.
"I'll smash you into damn pieces!" White Heart shouted summoning her giant axe.
"Must you always act so vulgar." Vert replied.
To say Verts CPU form is the most revealing of them all. She wears something like a one piece but that has an opening in the front and backside exposing her cleavage and underside of her chest along with white green leggings and gear around her arms. From her blond color turned into a sea foam green now tied into a straight ponytail. Her wings are five light pink spear like that are down her body.
"Shut up thunder tits! I don't need you saying how I talk!" White Heart replied.
"It's seems old habits never die." Green Heart added.
"Excuse me for the interruption but we have a monster to defeat." Black Heart replied.
"Fine." They both said in unison.
"Ah... this does bring back some memories like the time we were still fighting in Celestia." Purple Heart said.
Black Heart only sighed "Could you please not bring that up."
The monster roared snapping them to attention "Well this one seems impatient." Purple Heart said summoning her sword. Black Heart and Green Heart summoned their respective weapons broad sword and a spear.
"Well then let's take it down." Vert said launching herself forward. They launched forward at the monster.
The dragon pointed its metal arm forward launching its claw at White Heart who managed to dodge before it could hit her. "Tricky little shit are you huh!?" White Heart shouted.
Purple Heart attacked from the right side trying to deal some damage striking its back leg. "Eat this!" She cried out.
"Critical Edge!" She shouted hitting with a downward swing then an uppercut trying to send the dragon in the air then slashing through with a horizontal slash.
The monster roared in pain trying to gain its bearings then that's when Green Heart also attack summoning a large green circle beside her "I prefer my dragon on a spit roast. Sylhet Spear!" Then out of the circle came a overly large spear which only managed to hit its organic wing.
The monster roared again only this time it was really angry getting attacked from its prey. This time the monster countered raising its mechanical arm a compartment opened that released a type of loud buzzing sound.
The sound made the CPUs stop in their tracks trying to cover their ears from the abusive sound.
"Ah damn it! What the hell is this!" White Heart screamed.
"I think it's trying to paralyze us with that sound!" Black Heart answered.
"That sound is quite repulsive and most annoying indeed!" Green Heart shout.
"Then we have to take it out!" Purple Heart shouted before removing her hands from her ears and rushed at the monsters non organic arm.
"Victory Slash!" She cried out cutting two diagonal cuts which caused its arm to be destroyed. The sound finally disappeared much to the relief of the CPUs.
"Well now that's more like it." Black Heart said launching herself into the air
"Let's finish this!" She said raising her sword in the air as it ignited with energy.
"Drop Slash!" She shouted bringing her sword down sending a single sword wave attack on top of the monster.
Green Heart charged ahead with her spear hitting it with multiple stabs "Rainy Ratnapura!"
White Heart then came in at the sides of the monster swinging around hitting it multiple times with her axe "Tanzerin Trombe!" She shouted bringing her axe down on the dragon.
The dragon roared before shattering into millions of tiny data particles. "Well that was quite a tough fight." Purple Heart added returning to her normal form.
The rest of the CPUs returned to their human forms as well "Ha that was hardly even a warm up." Noire said. "Well then shall we should head back to the guild I'm certain they'll be glad that the monster has been defeated." Vert added.
"Yeah then maybe afterwards we can get some pudding." Neptune smiled.
Blanc could only sigh "You and your pudding Neptune. Don't you ever get tired of that stuff?"
"Nope." She answered still holding her cheerful smile.
"Hey you two coming or are we going to leave you behind!" Noire called out.
"Whoa, hey wait up!" Neptune said giving chase while Blanc followed.
What they didn't see was the shadowy figure lurking behind a tree with a dart launcher in its hand. "It went perfectly as planned. Wonder what kinds of problems are going to happen." The figure said appeared to a women with a tanned face blue eyes and light blonde hair showing under her cloak.
Hours past and everyone has returned to their nations enjoying the time they had. It was now night time in Planeptune as Neptune and Nepgear went to sleep as they same with Histoire hopefully not having to lecture Neptune about doing her job again.
Morning came as the sun of Gamindustri shined bright waking the occupant Nepgear. She stirred getting up from the bed that she shared with Neptune. She gave a big yawn stretching her body giving an audible pop of her joints.
"Time to get up Neptune." She said. No response came. Nepgear became curious and looked over at the other side of the bed and noticed that Neptune wasn't there.
"Huh? That's weird. Maybe she must be in the kitchen." She said to herself. After getting changed into her normal clothes and headed toward the kitchen area of the bascilicom. Once she reached the kitchen Neptune was nowhere to be seen.
"I wonder where she could be?" She asked herself.
Meanwhile Histoire was already up going through her routine as she floated along. When she made a turn heading toward Neptune's office to collect what work she'd be in charge to do. She went inside the office not knowing the someone else was already in there.
"Good morning Histoire." Neptune greeted only glancing a moment.
"Morning Neptune." Histoire greeted grabbing the necessary paperwork.
Before she left the office she froze turn back toward Neptune who is working at her office desk placing another piece of paper onto a pile that was already finished. More importantly what Neptune was wearing.
Instead of her parka dress she is now wearing a light purple and white business suit with a white undershirt and knee length skirt. Her hair no longer messy now combed and straight without the hair clips.
"Um...Neptune may I ask what is it that you are doing?" Histoire questioned.
"Working." Neptune answered simply.
"And what are you wearing?" Histoire asked again.
"My business clothes. Why?" Neptune questioned.
"Because I thought you'd be in your normal attire." Histoire answered.
"The parka was acting to kiddy so I hung it up and wore this today. Now excuse I'm trying to concentrate." Neptune answered getting a little annoyed.
Histoire blinked a few times "And exactly how long have you been at this?" She questioned.
Neptune looked at the clock behind her before giving her answer "Since five o'clock in the morning." She simply said.
"Oh that long." Histoire simply said then floated out of the office having an unreadable expression.
She exited Neptunes office and that when Nepgear ran toward her out of breath "Histoire... have you... seen Neptune?" Nepgear questioned.
"She's in her office working actually." Histoire answered.
"Huh? I thought you told me that Neptune didn't like working." She added.
"I know I can't believe it either but she's in there working like there's no tomorrow." Histoire replied.
"Um Histoire." Nepgear said.
"After the many times I've told her to actually work she in their now ever since five in the morning." Histoire ranted.
"That long! Don't you think we she get her to come out for breakfast." Nepgear said.
"I'm not sure. I never seen Neptune work before so I'm not sure what could happen if we interrupt her." Histoire added.
"Only one way to find out." Nepgear replied heading toward the office doors.
" It has been a while so she's probably hungry so I'll prepare her favorite snack." Nepgear said running back toward the kitchen.
"I guess I'll see if Neptune needs any help." Histoire said to herself.
Minutes past and Nepgear returned with several cups of pudding in her hands "If I know Neptune she'd never resist her pudding." Nepgear said with a smile heading inside.
She noticed all the work Neptune has done working on a second stack of papers already. "Wow Neptune haven't you been working quite a bit. Maybe you should take a break." She suggested.
"Actually I'm doing fine just got this other half of paper work then I'm good." Neptune added.
"I've brought some of your favorite pudding you always like." Nepgear smiled placing a vanilla pudding on her desk.
"I said I'm doing fine Nepgear." Neptune replied with a scowl taking the pudding cup and tossing it in the trash bin next to her desk.
Both Histoire and Nepgear froze at what she did both unresponsive becoming unresponsive at the sudden action.
"Well I got some quests to do can't have our shares going down." Neptune said transforming into her HDD and headed out the balcony window.
Histoire and Nepgear still processing what she did "Um... Histoire what just happened?" She questioned.
"I'm still trying figure that out as well." Histoire answered.
As they continue to debate on what happened what they don't realize that it's not only Neptune that has been acting strange as of late. The only question is how will the others take it.
