F3: Hello readers. As I said before I do not own Hyperdimension Neptunia I only own this story and plot. So with that out of the way... GAME START!
Chapter 7.
"Thank you for the information Vert I'll have the guards on lookout." Kei said as she disconnected from Vert. Kei rubbed her temple feeling a headache coming on then she looked toward the amount of paperwork she had to do because Noire has been seemingly avoiding it and Uni on yet another quest to help bring in shares so she is stuck doing the paperwork.
"I can't comprehend how Histoire manages to do it so easy." Kei groaned. She then looked over the copy of a picture of Croire.
"I might have to do some more digging into this Croire." She thought and began checking this Croire person. She pulled up some information about her.
After about ten minutes of researching she found what she wanted "Hm... it seems that this Croire was quiet a troublemaker in her youth but other than that she seemed to have fell off the grid quite some time ago." Kei pondered.
"Perhaps I'll have to dig up some more information." She said before she felt a pair of arms going around her neck loosely and feeling pressure on top of her head.
"Whatcha doin' Kei Kei?" Noire questioned with a wondering look.
Kei simply shrugged at the black haired CPUs antics "Simply trying to locate a person that could um... help us." Kei added.
"Really who?" Noire asked trying to get a look at the computer in front of her.
Kei was trying not to lose composure but her patience was beginning to dwindle "Don't you have some work to do Noire. As a CPU you have a duty to fulfill the obligations as one instead of allowing myself and Uni to do all the work for Lastation." Kei said.
"Oh c'mon you need to have a little bit of fun once in a while yah know instead of acting such a stick in the mud." Noire pouted.
Kei sweet dropped "I am not a stick in the mud. I'm just dedicated to my work as Lastations oracle."
"Dedicated more like overworked if you ask me." Noire jested back.
Kei was almost at the end of her rope of her composure "Will you kindly remove your arms from around my neck and chin off my head please." Kei said with most restriction.
Instead of doing what Kei said Noire got an idea "You know I got this brillant idea. You been working for hours on end and you deserve a break don't you." Noire said with a wicked smirk on her face.
Some reason a shiver went up her spine and she started sweating "I've got a bad feeling about this."
"How about we play a game that'll get the work off your mind." Noire smiled.
"Um... okay just... what kind of game?" She questioned hesitantly.
Noire then took here left hand and poked Kei head "Tag! Your it!" She called out and like a bullet Noire ran out.
Kei sat there dumbfounded at what just happened "A game... of tag." She simply stated.
She took a minute to compose herself before giving a confident smile "Very well if that's how she wants to play." She said confidently chasing after the CPU.

"Thank you for relaying this information to me Chika. I'll inform lady Blanc at once." Mina stated disconnecting from her. With an objective in mind the scholar oracle went to locate the CPU to give her the information given by Chika.
However before she could locate Blanc she heard two sets of screams coming her direction which could only mean two people; Rom and Ram. They stopped in front of Mina but instead of wearing there normal attire they're now each wearing a children sized maids outfit with a black frilled skirt with a white apron expect Roms had light blue lining while Rams had bright pink lining.
They both seemed out of breath like they were running from something "What on earth is going on with you two?" Mina questioned the maid clad candidates.
"Oh Mina thank goodness your here have you seen Blanc?" Ram asked quickly.
"Um... no not yet... why?" She questioned again.
"Oh good cause I think we've finally..." Before Ram could finish a voice called.
"Rom... Ram... where are you?" Blanc called out. The both nearly froze in place almost as if a chill went up their spine.
"Uh oh!" Ram said.
"Run away!" Rom stated and just like that they quickly ran away from Blanc's voice leaving a confused Mina wondering why they would run away from Blanc in the first place.
Blanc came into view wearing now a snow white strapless dress that only went down to her kness with a light blue thigh length stockings along with a small snow white dress shoes. She also wears a white lily hair pin just above her right ear.
"Now where have those two adorable sisters of mine went to." Blanc said then noticed Mina.
"Ah Mina have you seen Rom and Ram anywhere?" She questioned.
"Um... no I haven't." Mina lied already guessing what Blanc has been doing.
"Oh poo I still have some outfits that I wanted to fit them into." Blanc pouted.
Mina could only ponder what outfits she put her sisters in which why explains the maid outfits she spotted earlier.
Then Mina remembered what she had to do "Lady Blanc can I bother you for just a moment?" Mina asked.
"But of course. You have a question for me." She said.
"Actually I have some information that Chika told me about. She even sent me a copy of what they've discovered. Especially about a certain person." Mina said handing the file to Blanc.
Blanc took the file and read over it carefully "Hm... it has seemed that this Croire person is a problem but will she be a threat to Gamindustri?" Blanc questioned.
"I'm not certain for sure but from what Chika told me Miss IF is currently tracking her whereabouts." Mina informed.
"Thank you Mina." Blanc said but then looking Mina over with a knowing look.
"Um... Something wrong lady Blanc?" Mina questioned.
"How long have you been wear that scholars outfit it seems rather old." Blanc questioned.
"Well probably ever since I've started here." She answered.
Blanc then pondered before answered "Then it's settled I'm going to make you a new outfit." she decided.
"N-no no its quite okay I'm more comfy how I am." Mina said quickly.
Blanc simply shook her head "I apologize if I don't believe you." Blanc then grabbed one of Mina's sleeves
"But even you need a change in apparel." Blanc said then proceeded to drag Mina away.
"So I'll take care of this immediately." She added walking away happily dragging Mina who struggled to try and get away.
"Huh?! Wait I don't think that's necessary!" Mina protested trying to break free but due to Blanc's strength she couldn't get away leaving her fate to Blanc's dress fittings.

In Planeptune Nepgear and Neptune were currently out on a quest near the outskirt of the Golden Summit; more like it was Neptune dragging Nepgear along for the quest and it was high level quest that they've been meaning to take care of.
Another slash from Neptunes sword making the monster materialize into data pixels "That was rather uneventful." She sighed obviously not amused by the monsters thus far. She looked over her shoulder seeing if Nepgear was behind her.
"Hey Nepgear how you holding up back their?!" She called out.
At that moment Nepgear just finished off another monster but she was exhausted not used to fighting stronger monster than she's used to.
"Are we... almost... done?" She said trying to catch her breath.
"Not yet." the goddess said taking out the paper with the mission objective. "It states that no matter how many monster the agents kill off more of them show up." She stated putting back in her pocket.
"More than likely there has to be a spawn point or something else." She added.
"Well hopefully we can find this spawn point cause I'm not sure how much more I can take of this." Nepgear added sweating profusely.
Neptune then started looking around till looking toward the golden summit "Perhaps we should check their as well just to cover more ground." Neptune added.
Nepgear looked at her with a questionable look "Why do you believe the spawn point would be up their?" She questioned.
"Only simple deduction, sense we couldn't find it anywhere there is only one place where it could be and that would be somewhere inside the summit." Neptune said and began walking in the direction.
"Wait for me Neptune." Nepgear said running after her sister.
=HDN=
Once they got inside the summit their were already multiple monsters around the area "I've forgotten how big this place is." Neptune said.
"Not to mention what this place does to the gravity." Nepgear said jumping on top of one of the platforms which was three feet off the ground.
"True. We better start searching. You start looking in that direction and all begin this way." Neptune said.
Nepgear grew a little concerned about the idea "Maybe its best we should stick together it better that...um Neptune?" Nepgear said but then noticed that Neptune already left her.
"I guess...I'll just begin over here." She then added beginning her search for the monster spawn point.
After searching around and defeating monsters Nepgear pushed onward but when she got to the second level of the summit their were more monster then their were in the previous area.
"Looks like Neptune hasn't gotten up here yet." She said to herself. A monster roared at her getting her attention.
"AH! Oh my goodness!" She then looked at the monster.
"Huh? Wait a minute I've never seen this monster before." Nepgear then added on starting to examine the monster.
The monster was about twice her size on all four like a wild dog but having some cybernetics along its body. It has black armored skin with a grey underbelly its eyes are nothing but dark orange eyes with two horns sticking out of its head.
Nepgear took a glance at the monsters cybernetics "Those almost look similar to the cybernetics I have back at the lab." She said readying her sword.
The monster roared as if preparing to attack "Guess I've got no choice here." She declared as she was surrounded by a blinding light activating her HDD.
When the light faded she was now wearing a black bikini-esque outfit with part of purple and smaller blue glowing pieces. The chest part is connected around the neck and wears a pair of elbow length gloves and thigh length boots. Her hair becomes a bright purple with a pink tone to it with her bangs reach her knees. Her eyes are now a bright blue color and wears a white round piece with a blue center.
"I won't hold back so you better be ready." She said confidently summoning her weapon.
Her weapon consisted of a long blade but with a handle similar to a gun which is attached to a muzzle on top of it.
The monster lunged at Nepgear which she avoided the first attack but didn't see the tail that it swiped at her sending her back some ways. She managed to get her grip back and she went on the offensive slashing at the monster striking at the metal part of it but all that did was bounce right off.
"This might be more difficult than I thought it would be." She said to herself worried.
"I better try a different approach." She added this staying back aiming her weapon, and fired an energy shot at the monster. The shot hit its mark making the recoil from the shot. Seeing this she fired continuous shots at the monster.
The monster tried to block the shots but to no avail as the consist barrage of attacks was proving to be too much for it to handle. Then in a last effort a slot opened in its arm and glowed brightly surrounding it in a barrier blocking the shots from its enemy.
Nepgear noticed this and ceased firing "It can generate a barrier. That's something I'll have to take care of." She then dashed toward the barrier.
"Try this on for size; Mirage Dance!" Nepgear declared as she performed several cuts at the barrier then a piercing cut.
The monsters barrier took the blunt of the attack but was too much for it handle in which it dissolved. The monster recoiled after the attack only angering it further.
"Alright time to finish it off." Nepgear added summoning two floating mechanical bits.
"Bits released. Target in sight." She declared as the sphere launched toward opposite sides of the monster and began to blast the monster. The monster tried to retaliate but couldn't due to the constant attacks on it.
The spheres continued to blast away at the monster until they were used up allowing Nepgear to finish it off with her gun-sword delivering the final blow. The monster turned into data pixels ending the fight.
Nepgear panted a little before turning back to her regular form "Phew that was a little tricky but it worked out.I better go find Neptune, hopefully she's okay." Nepgear said with an objective in mind and went to find her CPU sister.
Unknown to Nepgear that the mysterious figure was watching her and everything she was doing during the fight "Well... that certainly didn't go as planned, but I still have my monsters doing the work." She giggled.
"This is a lot of fun. I'm getting a blast out of this." She added.
Nepgear was able to meet back up with Neptune after finding her taking care of other monsters on a higher level of the summit.
"I've searched everywhere and that spawn point isn't around here." Neptune said frustrated.
"Maybe whatever was here probably left the area entirely." Nepgear suggested.
Neptune let out a dissatisfied grunt "Great. Came out all this way just to waste so much time in this idiotic search in which what we're looking for isn't even here!" She ranted.
"It doesn't look like there anymore monsters so we better get back to Histoire and report in." Nepgear suggested.
Neptune dismissed her weapon before turning toward the area where the exit was "Fine its better than hanging around here all day." She said.
Nepgear began to follow suit but saw something out of the corner of her eye "Huh?" She turned around real quick but when she did the object was already gone.
"That was weird I thought I felt like we were being watched. Must've been my imagination." Nepgear said to herself.
"Nepgear you coming or not!' Neptune called out.
"Oh right coming!" Nepgear called back running toward her sister.
The figure then reappeared "Phew that was close, but I'm at least having some fun." The figure said letting out another giggled before disappearing her laughter echoing throughout the Golden Summit.
F3: Chapter complete. Well guys what do you think? It might have took me a bit to do but I got it out. I've also decided to not do anymore shout out questions because I really haven't gotten any ideas for them. With that said I'm Fireuser3 Blazing out!
