Sorry for the delay if anyone were waiting for one week update, but y'know, the busy world around. Btw, here's….
Chapter 9
(-)
Ultra Dimension, 9:45 AM.
A purple portal suddenly appeared, from there, Nepgear's head appeared and then the rest of her body with Gehaburn followed suit.
"See? told you I can do this portal dimension right" Gehaburn spoke happily.
"Yeah, I guess you were ri-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Nepgear and Gehaburn were falling from the sky all of the sudden, their falling pace wasn't too fast for now.
"AAAAAAAAA, WE'RE FALLING" Gehaburn panicked and went inside Nepgear's body for safety. "GEAR DO SOMETHING!" Gehaburn said in panic and showing up as a ghost coming from Nepgear's body
"BURN, YOU DUMBASS!" Nepgear cursed at the ghostly Gehaburn while putting on her hoodie mask and tried to figure out a way to get through this predicament. Nepgear looked at her inventory screen while checking her black clothing for something to help them both, rummaging her black hooded parka coat and her black sailor uniform beneath the coat as the clothes were moving around due to the fall motion.
'FUCK, Nothing!' Nepgear cursed inside her thoughts.
"WE'RE GONNA DIEEEE!" Gehaburn thought to herself as well in fear.
"SHUT YOUR TRAP FOR A WHILE AND THINK OF SOMETHING! AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE'RE STILL IN THE MESOSPHERE AND RUNNING OUT OF AIR TO BREATHE! OR IN THIS CASE, I'M THE ONE EXHAUSTING MY BREATH WHILE YOU BEING A PUSSY AND WENT INSIDE ME!" Nepgear said angrily, her hood mask having a spell that lets Nepgear breath for a while in situations like this. But it only lasted for a while and they were still in the Mesosphere.
"SORRYYYYYYY!" As Gehaburn apologized, she thought of something "GEAR! YOUR AllRON GUNBLADE!"
"WHAT ABOUT MY- OH RIGHT!" Nepgear realized what Gehaburn meant by her Gunblade.
Nepgear summoned her Gunblade on her right hand and as she was falling, she pressed the N logo in the middle and it revealed three-column buttons up to three buttons per each column like a cell-phone button pattern ranging from 1 to 9. Nepgear pressed the number 9 three times to activate something.
"Coolant shift, Online. Heat Buffer, Online" Kurome's robotic voice was heard from the Gunblade as it began activating a field.
"NICE" Nepgear said while positioning her Gunblade in front of her acting like a shield, her left arm holds the flat blade part to make sure it doesn't go off balance. Her body has straightened to fasten the fall so she can get to the area where there's Oxygen.
A transparent field appeared around Nepgear to shield her from the heat from her fall as it gets faster, there's also a cooling aura inside the field to protect Nepgear from some of the heat slipping through the shield.
Nepgear's fall accelerated immensely until it had reached the Troposphere then turned off the field, she inhaled and exhaled to get more oxygen as the one from her mask had depleted but she kept on wearing it.
"PHEW, We didn't get burned alive. I'm glad" Gehaburn appeared beside Nepgear with her human body rather than her ghost form. "Now we'll fly in the air right?" Gehaburn asked Nepgear.
"No"
"What?"
"We should keep falling like a shooting star. If we flew, then the CPUs of this world would notice. Take a look at the sky and below"
Gehaburn looked at the sky first. Unlike their world, the skies were blue instead of red which she hadn't seen for a long time since Nepgear's purge on the humans. Gehaburn then looked down to see the land, four countries were in sight and she can sense a lot of human lives from below.
"Looks peaceful, isn't it?" Nepgear asked Gehaburn.
"Yeah, guess the humans are on good terms with the acting CPU's huh. So because of the humans and the CPUs, you don't want to attract attention to yourself huh"
"That and I predict that the enemy we are going to find is currently hiding and playing it quietly rather than a head-on way"
"Oh yeah, that" Gehaburn understood Nepgear's words.
"By the way, brace for impact" Nepgear noted as she readied herself to land with her Gunblade.
"Huh? What do you m-" Gehaburn was about to finish her sentence but her body had crashed first to some kind of farm soil.
The crash was so big that some areas of the soil had been destroyed and created a huge crater. Nepgear landed safely as she was crouching with her Gunblade placed on the destroyed soil and her left arm touching it as well. Alas for Gehaburn, her head and her upper body were burrowed inside the soil whilst her legs were moving back and forth repeatedly.
Gehaburn pops out her upper body and head from the ground and stood up with the help of her hands pushing the land by herself, she spits out some of the dirt that she had consumed accidentally to the left side and took out a Judgester bottle from her inventory to get rid of the stench.
"BLECH, You could've alerted me sooner Gear!" Gehaburn said with a little bit of an angry tone and then she gargled the beverage inside her mouth and drank it.
"Think of it as compensation for the portal trouble" Nepgear grinned at Gehaburn as she cleared off some dust from her clothes.
"Ah, now we're even," Said Gehaburn as she put back the bottle inside her inventory. "Where are we anyway? Some kind of farm?"
"I don't know either" Nepgear gets up and looks around her, beyond the hole that they made were a lot of plants with a purple vegetable. On her right leg, there's a vegetable with the same color, and as Nepgear picked it up she realized what it was.
"Eggplant?" Nepgear spoke, it was the very thing that her sister Neptune hated with her whole life. "I can imagine my sister being hysterical over all of these" Nepgear continued while imagining her sister's panicking face in her head.
"No kidding, who owns this farm anyway?" Gehaburn looked around with her head searching for the owner.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY FARM?!"
Nepgear and Gehaburn were shocked as they both heard a loud shout from the back, the voice was all too familiar to them. Once they looked at the figure, the two had guessed correctly.
It was none other than Arfoire, but her witch clothes were different than they had known from their world. This Arfoire wears a black and purple one-piece with a matching witch hat that is all lined with brown, albeit designed differently. Her outfit is exposed even more than the one in their world in regards to the torso area, which is now completely exposed along with the underside of breasts. Her skin remains the same as it was extremely pale. Another thing that they noticed is that there's a white towel hanging around Arfoire's neck and a backpack basket that consists of eggplants.
"Hey, it's this world's Granny Arfoire! And she's a farmer?" Gehaburn spoke first to break the silence as she pointed at Arfoire.
"OH COME ON, Not another one who calls me like that!" Arfoire said irritatingly. "Also, how are you two gonna fix the damage you two had caused! I just lost half of my field!"
Nepgear walked a bit further towards Arfoire but she also kept a distance from her. Nepgear's Gunblade had already returned to her equipment inventory as she walked while gesturing her hands to show Arfoire that Nepgear surrendered to her.
"Forgive my companion's abrupt words to you and our sudden crash. We didn't mean to destroy your field, thus I'd like to propose a deal regarding this matter" Nepgear said as she looked up to where Arfoire was standing.
"And what's that deal exactly? Don't even think about scamming me. I had once been scammed when making a deal about marketing and it pisses me off like the one time I had against Neptune!" Arfoire remarked with her hands crossed on her boobs.
'Pfft, I can believe that this Arfoire got scammed just for some market issue. I bet my world's Arfoire would've been so disappointed at this version' Nepgear thought and she held back her laugh to not anger Arfoire more. 'Also did she mention Neptune? I'll ask that later, but the field comes first'
"The deal is that we work here as fellow farmer employees and let the two of us return the crater's state to its green soil state, with an addition that we can stay in your place. I assure you that we can finish for one day, if we don't then you can use us as slaves with whatever you wish" Nepgear explained.
"As slaves in my place? That'll be interesting, and what makes you so sure that you can repair all of these in one day?" Arfoire glared at her.
Nepgear sighed and began to take off her mask as she put down her hoodie to reveal her face. When the hoodie and mask were down, Arfoire knew that she was familiar with that face.
"I'll hold my word as my name is Nepgear and I opened up to you with no lies nor foul" Nepgear reassured Arfoire with a firm tone.
"AH, now I remember. You're that brat's little sister!" Arfoire brandished her spear and pointed down at the Nepgear below of her. "So you've come for a fight against me again? I would gladly fight you as well!"
"Don't lump me with this world's Neptune and I don't intend to fight you, I just want to make a deal regarding this mess and nothing more. I have other things that I need to accomplish" Nepgear kept on the negotiation with Arfoire despite the hostility.
"A deal that'll make a CPU live near me? What makes you think I'll agree to tha-" Arfoire trailed off as she saw Nepgear's eyes turned red and were letting out energy that Arfoire was familiar with. "You….How can you have the same power as me?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you later if you agree to my deal, and let me rephrase the arrangement once more. We'll fix this field in one day and if we can't clear it by one day then you can use us as slaves. But if we do, you'll have to let us live in your home and make it as a base of our operations while also working as farmers. Do mind that this benefits you more than I do" Nepgear explained once more.
Arfoire lowered her spear a bit but still pointed to Nepgear, she pondered the words that Nepgear had explained. 'This girl is different from the other CPUs I know. Her behavior really differs from the other one, Not to mention that she holds my power which is not easy to get by unless it is given. Guess, I can trust this otherworldly Nepgear for now' Arfoire thought inside.
Arfoire returned her spear back to herself and let go of her hostility. "Alright, you got yourself a deal. I'll look forward to your help either as a farmer or slave and how you're gonna revert all of this. I bet not even the other Nepgear's would be able to fix this in one day and once you fail I'll use you with whatever I want, HAHAHAHAHA!" Arfoire agreed and laughed at Nepgear.
Nepgear laughed slightly with a smug look and placed her right arm on her hips "Oh you underestimate with what I can do, Arfoire"
"What a cocky look. Also, call me Prez when we're at work, and don't even call me with ANY other nicknames. I'm sick of being called with something other than prez or my name!" Arfoire added.
"Alright then, Prez, Thank you for the cooperation. Now can we unpack our stuff first inside your house before we get to work?"
"Yeah yeah, follow me," Arfoire said as she walked on after signaling Nepgear and Gehaburn to go along with her.
Gehaburn began to follow Arfoire but Nepgear was stationary in her place where she stand while getting something from her inventory. After Nepgear had found what she was looking for, she took it out from the inventory and began to use it. Her right hand were holding some kind of a medium-sized green pouch with the word "Dirt Growth" in the middle
"Nepgear? Come one, she's waiting" Gehaburn called to her.
"Wait a bit, I'm applying some of Trick's soil growth powder with the right amount," Nepgear told Gehaburn as she spread a fair amount of the powder onto the soil. Once she is done, Nepgear puts back the pouch inside her inventory space. "There"
Nepgear fast-walked until she was beside Gehaburn, then the two followed Arfoire who were waiting for them in annoyance because of the delay.
"Ain't that the pouch that caused a sudden growth of bumps on Leanbox's G-Farm and that it was for Trick's experiment in landmass? You sure it's okay to use them here?" Gehaburn questioned Nepgear's choice as they walked on.
"Relax, that one is the new and improved version from the previous one. Its's adaptability has been upgraded so it won't go haywire like its predecessor. We can plow the fields in the afternoon later since I predict that the soil will finish regenerating itself by then"
"Plowing the Fields? Ughh, Just thinking of doing it makes me lazier to do it" Gehaburn whimpered.
"We gotta take responsibility y'know, besides, I don't want my base to be near any of the CPU's domains. Especially when Arfoire said that there is this world's Neptune and Nepgear" Nepgear reasoned with Gehaburn.
"You don't want to see your sister? or any of the other CPUs? If Neptune is here then there's a chance that the others are also here. You miss them despite being from another dimension, right?" Gehaburn referred to the fallen CPUs in their world other than Neptune.
"Yes, but all the more reason I should avoid them…..I'm not ready to face them, heck, I don't want any of them to know me and what I have done to my world. I can't imagine what their reactions would be if they kno-" Nepgear was cut off by Gehaburn's hand patting her head while they walked.
"Burn…"
"So long as you don't falter with your choice then I won't worry about you and I'm sorry for being insensitive, " Gehaburn told her.
"You're just worried about me, so I don't mind it. Because of you, I can openly say what I think without hesitation rather than my time with Histoire"
"You're right about that. We'll cross the bridge regarding the CPUs later, but for now, let's just deal with the present" Said Gehaburn
"Also how far are we going to walk? Are we even there ye- OWW" Gehaburn crashed onto Arfoire's back because she was looking down due to boredom and exhaustion.
"Hey, watch where you're going you bitch! We're already here" Arfoire looked back at Gehaburn and got mad at her.
"It's Gehaburn! Besides, why would you put house this far away?" Gehaburn said as she pointed towards the normal Two-Leveled farmhouse colored black on the whole body and a red roof with purple lining. A garage was visible on its side, inside it there is one grey truck for the eggplant shipment.
"Why not? It's good to exercise our body in the long run while farming these Eggplants, I wouldn't like weaklings to work here anyway" Arfoire explained.
"Then where are your workers?" Gehaburn asked.
"Here they are, in front of me" Arfoire pointed at the two girls.
"Other than us?"
"None, as they were either don't want to work with me or can't keep up with my standards, " Arfoire said which made Gehaburn put up a poker face at her. "Well I do have another worker, well more of a part-timer than a full time one"
"Wow, what a loner" Gehaburn mocked Arfoire.
"Oh shut up, you wanna have a go at it?!" Arfoire invited Gehaburn for roughhousing.
"Gladly!" Gehaburn readied herself too, suddenly there was a white ax with a blue sharp edge in front of her. She recognized it as Nepgear's B Axe and looked at Nepgear putting up an annoyed face.
"Can we not do this, Burn? I'd like to keep the end of the bargain and I'd rather not break up the deal if I were you"
"Gulp, I yield! Sorry" Gehaburn gulped and pardoned herself.
Nepgear then turned to Arfoire with an innocent smile, but Arfoire knew there was something sinister beneath that smile that made her shiver for some reason.
"I apologize again for my friend's behavior but could please bear with it? I'm sure she would be a help to you regardless of her whinings"
"Who are you to order me like that? I'm the prez here and both of you should….kneel….before me…" Arfoire gradually died down her words as Nepgear sinister feeling slowly rises while maintaining that smile.
"This is not an order, but a suggestion as fellow farmers. So, please?" Nepgear said menacingly with a smile, and her eyes closed. For Arfoire, this reminded her of her torture with a certain sadistic CPU.
"F-fine, I'll let it be," Arfoire said as she shrugs it off and walked towards her house's door "Come in, I'll show you the room that you two would reside in to unpack your stuff"
"Not a trap right? If it is I would literally shout "IT'S A TRAP" for the convenience" Gehaburn asked in wary and joke at the same time.
"Hahaha, don't be foolish, I wouldn't want to trap my farmers after all. But I do want to trap and beat up that Neptune brat! She really annoys me ever since I met the brat" Arfoire said grudgingly.
'Same old Arfoire huh, no matter the dimension' Nepgear thought inside "Now then, may we come inside?"
"Yeah," Arfoire said as she opened the door "Come inside to my house"
Nepgear and Gehaburn walked inside, the contents inside are all like every other normal house. in front of them, there's the living room with a black long sofa and a TV with some decorations. Stairs leading upwards were seen not for from the living room, Kitchen's at the back with the dining table in it also makes the room, into both kitchen and dining room. Besides the kitchen dining room, there's a door labeled "garage", a sign that leads to where the truck was at. Nepgear noticed another door in the living room with no label on the floor.
"Well this is cozy looking, results from the farm yields I assume?" Nepgear said to Arfoire.
"Yes, I made some fine profit from all the work I put into. That's why I want you two to fix the field ASAP as I don't want my sales to go down" Arfoire pointed out.
"Right right, we'll get to it," Nepgear nodded at her. "So where do we sleep in?"
"Right here" Arfoire while walking towards the non-labeled door on the floor and opening it. "In the Basement, this is where you two will rest in"
"Now this looks like a trap"
"As I said before, there's no trap for both of you so don't be foolish. I don't have any more rooms above cause it's already filled with my other stuff, this is the only option left" Arfoire spelled out the reason she had chosen the basement.
"Hmm" Nepgear hummed at the same time as she walked inside it, leading her to downward stairs. It wasn't far from the surface cause the stair steps were short. She looked around the basement, it was quite spacious with all grey color on the walls, ceiling, floor. Additionally, there were no leftover objects at all making it the perfect place to set up a base.
"This basement would do well for the both of us, we can set up some of our stuff here" Nepgear looked back to see Arfoire "Thanks for the basement, Prez"
"Yeah yeah, and I never thought that you kept calling me Prez even after that sinister smile, finally someone that calls me that willfully" Arfoire was thankful to finally found someone that calls her with the right name after constant nicknames from previous events. "Anyway, do whatever you need to settle down here. I'll be going outside of my farm to transfer the shipments myself, It should've been the rat's job to do this but he's on his last vacation today"
"Rat?" Gehaburn looked at Arfoire in confusion as Gehaburn already wen in the basement and were at Nepgear's side.
"The part-timer here. His name is Warechu, if you two see any grey rat with a heart crack shape on the torso then that's him"
"Oh right, then good luck out there on the shipment stuff. We'll fix your field ASAP like what you've said last time"
"You better. Now I'll be on my way doing my work. Don't screw anything else while I'm away if you don't want to be slaves"
"Got it!" Gehaburn acknowledged with a thumbs up.
"Hmph" Arfoire then went to the garage to fill the rest of the truck with the remaining eggplants and drove off from her house.
"Now then, let's set up our base nicely. Lend me a hand, Burn" Nepgear said while taking out her items from her inventory starting from her portable lab.
"A hand? Well, I can recreate my arm again, but why would you need my arm?"
"That's just a figure of speech" Nepgear put up a sarcastic shock look to Gehaburn.
"I know, I was just kidding, Well except for the arm recreate part. But never mind about that, here, I'll set up our bed over there" Gehaburn pulled out a two-people bed and placed it on one of the corners.
'She can literally create another arm? Well, that's interesting' Nepgear thought while continuing setting up the lab's mechanism that went on for a while.
(-)
Arfoire's truck, on the road towards Lastation.
Arfoire was looking on the road while driving to focus on not getting any accidents with her truck-filled eggplants.
"Those two were interesting. Even though this 'Nepgear' is a CPU like the other one, I don't feel reluctant near her. Is it because of her powers? Or is it because she feels different from the others"
The Lady looks onto the beautiful sea scenery on her right while continuing to ponder on what has happened before.
'Maybe I shouldn't label them as slaves, mayhaps as friends instead? I don't think I have anyone other than the rat that I can call a friend'
Arfoire immediately shakes her head left and right and focuses her sights on the road again.
"No, I can't just easily accept them as my friends. I need useful and not the ones that are wimps like last time with those Seven Sages"
Arfoire stopped talking to herself as she went inside Lastation after being authorized to enter by the guards and continue to drive around the country to deliver the eggplants to several markets, which goes on for a long while. She predicted that she'll be at home around the evening once she was done.

Meanwhile in the evening, at the Ultradimension's basilicom. U!Histoire was gazing outside of Planeptune's border on Big Tower's balcony towards the direction where there was a shooting star in the morning. For the little tome, it is kinda odd that a star was falling in the morning and the fact that she knew it was because of some kind of power that she recognized briefly.
'What was that? I feel like I'm familiar with that shooting star for some reason but I can't figure out what. Is it connected to the attacks from the disoriented monsters?' U!Histoire thought to herself referring to the said monster's recent attacks in both Ultradimension and Hyperdimension's Gamindustri.
"Histyyyy?"
U!Histoire turned back to see Plutia, with her light purple braided hair and pajama-like dress, calling to her with her usual slow voice. "Ah, Plutia, You're here. Is there something wrong (°-°)?"
"Not meeee, but you Histy. You've been starting outside for a while now and I'm getting worried for you"
"I was? Well I'll be, didn't realize it that long (•∆•)" U!Histoire said to Plutia. "Don't worry about me, I'm all well. I was just thinking about that shooting star on the morning (^-^)"
"M'kay then, I'm going to doze off now. Hahhhhhh~" Plutia yawned and went to her bed for her to sleep in.
"H-Hey, what about the monster problem \(°o°;)/?" Historic protest at her behavior at this time.
"Ran away as I couldn't finish it off. It's the same as before, no damage on it but it also wasn't able to hurt me" Plutia told her while slumping to the bed and hugging a Neptune plushie.
"Again huh, sigh, what an odd creature (-_-')" U!Histoire.
"Yeah, which is why I'm exhausted and want to sleep. Aaaaahhh, I wanna play with Neptune but these monster problems are in the way!" Plutia is annoyed that she couldn't hang out with her friend.
"Alright, take a rest Plutia. I'll finish up the rest of the paperwork, you did well (°v°)" Histoire permitted Plutia to rest as she understands that a CPU needs a rest, even though Plutia does it most of the time before the weird monsters attack.
"Thanks, then sweet dreams…... Zzzzzzz" Plutia finally asleep in her bed with a smile.
U!Histoire smiled at the sleeping CPU and hovered onto the leftover paperwork on the desk. 'I have to search what kind of monsters are we dealing with, cause I sense that this may be the beginning of chaos beyond both dimensions'
U!Histoire thought by herself while finishing up the paperwork and spend some of her time looking for a way out in her time. It might take a long while like the Hyper Histoire, but she's determined to solve this matter. For the sake of both dimensions and beyond their dimension.

At Night, 8:00 PM, inside Arfoire's house. Nepgear and Gehaburn were sitting on the living room sofa and looking on their Nep-Watch to see a holographic Kurome that they had called for updates on what was going on from both sides.
"Wait, so lemme get this straight. the two of you become farmers because Burnsy opened the portal way up to the Mesosphere and made you guys fall like a shooting star, then fall onto someone's eggplant farm, and the owner is a past enemy from our dimension called Arfoire but different, as you two say. Am I getting this right?" Kurome said her summary.
"Correct" Nepgear acknowledged her.
"Right on the spot" Gehaburn also acknowledged Kurome that was laughing out loud.
"AHAHHAHAHAHA. Well, so much for not getting any attention. Are you two sure that you can trust this Arfoire whatever?"
"Yes I'm sure, so don't worry bout it Kurome. Besides, if all goes south I can just eliminate her. But I prefer not to do that, I want to keep taking advantage of her house as our base" Nepgear soothed Kurome's worry with reason.
"Couldn't you just kill her and make her house as your own?" Kurome suggested
"And lose my current cover-up? Not a chance, she probably got some recognition because of her eggplants sales. Killing her would lead to an investigation in here" Nepgear countered.
"Understandable" Kurome nodded.
"Did anything happen while we were away? Like any trouble popping up or something?" Gehaburn asked in turn.
"There's one attack in the afternoon, and it was in the Planeptune's area. This time it was a swarm of Red Fenrirs with each one having multiple heads, tails, and their furs were sharp as heck. But they were weak compared to Magic, Judge, and their army"
"Of course they are, it'll take a lot more than that to beat them"
"Heh, you got that right" Kurome agreed, putting her left arm to rest at the top edge of her desk chair and pointing at Gehaburn's remarks with her right one. "Oh, and their wastes were all collected and taken to Trick for examination and extraction like usual. This time with the help of Magic, since it was a lot to unpack"
"Enough to make new members?"
"Trick told me it's still not enough to use it in one go. Magic did try to keep it in a tight place until the CME amount is enough to do the thing, but Trick said it's not possible as it was quick to deteriorate. As a result, used for developments instead" Kurome answered.
"Dang, be a lot cooler if it's possible" Gehaburn bummed in disappointment
"Mhm, also now I'm reminded on how to explain your situation to the others. Especially Magic, I bet she would be pissed on Burnsy for making her beloved Gearsy into a lowly farmer" Kurome said with a facepalm and Gehaburn laughed nervously at the thought of Magic's angry face.
"Just tell her it would be fine and calm her down, if it gets worse, keep her in check so she doesn't do something reckless. Ask the others to help you" Nepgear advises Kurome.
"We'll try. Hah.. this is gonna be a pain in the ass. But it is what it is" Kurome sighed and leaned forward a bit to her screen at her desk.
"YOU TWO, I'M BACK" Arfoire shouted from outside after she parked her truck in the garage.
"That's Arfoire. We'll be in touch later Kurome, see you later" Nepgear spoke.
"Alright, bye Gearsy. I'll tell the others about our talk here, see you" Kurome waved before turning off the call. Arfoire then came inside from the Garage's door with some groceries on both hands. Arfoire looked to the two girls sitting on her couch.
"How the HELL did the farm field return to its original state so fast?" Arfoire said as she was shocked to see her eggplant field return to normal in less than a day.
"Told you that don't underestimate me and my prowess," Nepgear said with a smug look and both hands resting on the top edge of the sofa.
"And my strength too, plowing them one by one takes a lot in me" Gehaburn added, referring to her time in the evening plowing most of the fields with hoes in hand.
"I'll be damned, you two showed your promise after all. As per our deal, I'll let you stay here for as long as you want. Of course, you will have to work on the fields but there'll be some leniency when you need it. Just try not to make me involved directly with your troubles" Arfoire said while walking towards the kitchen to put the groceries in the fridge.
"Alright, then we'll try not to" Nepgear agreed to her.
"No problem, Arfy!" Gehaburn said with a thumbs up.
"It's ARFOIRE! don't call me that like I'm a puppy or something" Arfoire blurted out which made Gehaburn cover in the sofa for upcoming throwing attacks like she know from movies. "Hah...anyway, wait there as I am gonna make us some dinner"
"Can I help? It would make the work faster and we can dine sooner" Nepgear offered herself.
"Oh sure, just follow this recipe and don't mess with my flow" Arfoire accepted her help, Nepgear then walked to the kitchen to help the witch lady cook.
"Lemme help you two as well" Gehaburn offered herself as well, popping out her head from the sofa
"No, I'm not gonna put you into something related to kitchen and cooking. Last time you blew up our kitchen in Planeptune so big that we had to build it from scratch, and your cooking was so bad that I had to stay in the toilet for a long time" Nepgear glared at Gehaburn while reminiscing the past. Arfoire was shocked to hear that and glared at Gehaburn as well.
"You're banned from entering and using this kitchen forever," Arfoire said.
"Ack, ah well, fair enough" Gehaburn then grab the remote on the table in front of the sofa and turned on the TV while waiting, it showed a cartoon channel involving a mouse and a cat messing with each other.
It took a while, but Nepgear and Arfoire had finished making three Cheesy Baked Eggplant Pizza for dinner. The two brought all the three dishes, with an addition of three beers, to the living room to sit on the sofa and hang out with each other as they eat.
"Now this is some good shit! Did you make this recipe by yourself?" Gehaburn said while enjoying her Pizza.
"It's actually from the internet, but the quality of the ingredients are all supervised by me, especially the eggplants which I nurture directly. Enjoy it while it lasts, tomorrow we are going to work hard on the fields" Arfoire replied as they continued eating.
As they progressed, Arfoire began to ask about why the two girls had come to this Dimension. "So tell me, why the two of you come to this world? I assume both of you are not from Hyper Dimension"
"Well here's the thing…" Gehaburn then explained from when they were suddenly attacked by the Horrendous Black Dogoo's and to the conclusion to find the one behind it all in this dimension as their first lead.
"I see, then what about the part where you, a CPU, get ahold of powers similar to mine" Arfoire pointed at Nepgear.
"For that, I'll explain from the beginning…." Nepgear began to tell her story from when she had to kill her CPU friends and her sister to defeat her Arfoire until she purged all humans in her dimension.
"Ouch, such lengths. I'm surprised that I from your dimension were that strong to get you to do all that and all you did had been in vain as those humans betrayed you in the end. I feel sorry for you even though I'm also amazed at myself from your SigmaDimension" Arfoire had finished her plate and placed her right hand on Nepgear's left shoulder.
"I'm over it, so it doesn't affect me that much. That does not mean I don't hate humans anymore! especially those traitors…" Nepgear spoke with a dark tone. "Hey, are they all here? living in this dimension?"
"Hm? you mean that Neptune brat's human friends in your story? While some from your story are not here, the rest are all alive here" Arfoire replied.
"Oh fuck, I doubt that I would be able to contain myself when I see them" Nepgear grimaced while pinching her forehead while Gehaburn pats her back.
"Whoa, I can feel the darkness seeping out from you. Calm down, Nepgear" Arfoire stood up and went to get a video recorder "Maybe this will get your mood happier" She played a video where there's her torturing IF with eggplants.
The video went on not long until it stopped as it was finished, afterwards, Nepgear laughed out loud hysterically on the sofa "HAHAHAHHAHAHA, Imagine her being tortured by freaking eggplants. HAHAHHAHHA" She continued her laugh with Gehaburn and Arfoire laughing as well
"I know right? She looks so foolish with all that eggplant
stuffed in her mouth. I enjoyed it with every second I when I did all that"
"Oh, that's the stuff. Now let's keep watching that mouse and cat show, I wanna know how it ends" Gehaburn said while changing the channel from a music channel to the show about the mouse and the cat.
"Invested aren't you?" Arfoire pointed out.
"Well yeah, it's fun seeing them whack and prank each other" Gehaburn said.
"You're right about that one, we need some fun after all. Just sit back and enjoy, like they say" Nepgear spoke before drinking her beer.
The three enjoyed the time they had that night with beers on hand and shows on the TV until they were satisfied. Once they did, they went back to their beds. Arfoire went upstairs to sleep in her pajamas while Nepgear and Gehaburn went down the basement to do the same. They slept peacefully, resting to start their day in the morning.
To Be Continued.

Phew, done, hope that'll be good for Ultradimension arc starters. The hard part from this chapter is making the ultra dimension Histoire emoticons, which had to trial and error a bit.
About the fall, it's basically how Amuro used his Gundam to re-enter the earth's atmosphere. Arfoire's house is just a normal two leveled house with the descriptions I put. I'll meet this Nepgear with the CPUs in later chapters to fit the story. Also, the eggplant food recipe is real. Just search the internet.
Anyhow, see you later.
