Did I mention I changed my Fanfic poster again? Guess only now. It won't be the last so it is what it is…and it is time for…

Chapter 10

(-)

7:00 AM, Arfoire's Farm.

A yellow cab, with an N logo on the cab's door sides, had stopped in front of Arfoire's Farm entrance. The one who requested the cab paid the driver as a thank you for the lift from Planeptune. Once the payment was done, the requester opened the door beside it to exit the cab. It was a small dark grey mouse with dark arms, maroon wings, a black tail with a broken heart at its end, and the noticeable red yellow broken heart design.

In short, it's Warechu the Self-proclaimed Seven Sages mascot.

As he got down from the cab, Warechu turned his head back to the driver and look at him with his red eyes and his cheek motioned his white whiskers at the same time.

"Thanks for the lift, chu," Warechu said to the driver. The driver nodded at the mouse and drove off from him.

"Back here again after vacation…..Granny must've been lonely without me" Warechu spoke to no one but to himself with hands on his hips. "Time to do my part-time job like usual"

Warechu started to walk with his black legs that were covered with light red with white stripes socks that went up to his knees. He headed towards Arfoire's house to check on her, which took a while long given how long the house is at. There's no mini transport for him to fast travel to Arfoire's house since the granny herself didn't invest in it for "Exercise" purposes.

'Damn it, Granny! You still haven't provided me with something for this? Man, I wish I could use my wings to fly ahead instead of walking,' Warechu thought to himself.

But despite his plea, he knew that his wings can't carry his weight from the beginning. Warechu eventually thinks of his wings as a decoration for a special mouse type like he is.

"Sigh….Just gotta deal with it for the money and Granny then, Chu" Warechu sighed with his arms being slumpy due to the walk that he carried on to do.

He looked on to his left and right side to see the condition of Arfoire's field after he had been gone for a while. The fields were intact like what he remembered last time before vacation. But the news about a shooting star that he got from Planeptune's people made him question them.

'Shouldn't there be some kind of crater? Seems fine to me here, probably just some fake news or a hoax to bait people. Guess I'm one of the baited people' Warechu said inside himself.

"Finally, I have arrived! Chu" Warechu said in relief and exhaustion with his arms lifted up. Just then, he picked up some unfamiliar scent inside the house.

'Hmm? There's someone here tha granny? Must've been some new workers applying from the job' Warechu guessed inside 'bet they would only last for two or three days here, with all the shit Granny would put them into'

"Oh well, sucks to be them, Chu" Warechu shrugged off and opened the door to get inside of Arfoire's house and walked further to the living room.

"GRANNY, YOUR FAVORITE PART-TIMER IS HERE! CHU" Warechu shouted in the room, but no response after a while. "No one's home? Pretty sure there was a scent of people here"

Warechu was confused as there was only silence in the house whilst looking left and right of him. He only sees some furniture and such.

Suddenly a loud stepping and shout were heard upstairs, in response, Warechu looked at the stairs behind him which would then lead to an accident.

"GEHABURNNNNNN!" Arfoire in anger over something while chasing down the all-purple girl wearing only her N Planeptune Earrings and a purple towel that covered her boobs until her hips.

"I'M JUST BORROWING SOME OF IT, CAN'T A GIRL HAVE SOME SHOWER GEL?" Gehaburn said in a panic with her eyes making a black ring on it as she ran away from the angry pale lady "ACK-"

Alas for Gehaburn, she was tackled and caught by Arfoire near the stairs "Got you!" Arfoire didn't realize until she looked down that they were going to fall down the stairs.

"Oh no"

Arfoire words before the two girls stumbling down the stairs while they repeatedly said "Ouch" and "Ow" which at the end would hit Warechu on their path.

"...Chu?" Warechu didn't react fast enough and the three crashed together and rolled on until they hit and stopped at the Basement door. The crash did not alert Nepgear inside as she was about to give Gehaburn the shower gel that she forgot to take before going to the bathroom upstairs after changing herself to Blue Overall and a black shirt.

"Hey Burn you forgot your- Woah!" Nepgear fell due to her legs tripping on the pile of Gehaburn, Arfoire, and Warechu. Her boobs land on the mouse's face.

When Warechu recollects himself from the hit, he realized that he was smothered by three pairs of boobs on his face and one of them was bare, it was from Gehaburn due to her towel being put off from her body. He immediately takes advantage of the situation and shakes her head in the bliss of the mountains.

'Well, I'll be damned, what a stroke of luck! Gotta dig in while I can' He said inside as he kept snuggling the boobs before the ladies gets up. Warechu then stopped, got off from them, and turned his back to them as he realized something.

'Noooooo Must resist! For my dear angel Compa, I shall not be tempted' Warechu thought while gesturing his body dramatically like in a theater. He then felt a chill from his spine and behind him as a sign of danger, Warechu looked back to see three girls already up and two of them are angry while their faces are red.

"Did you enjoy that, Rat?" Arfoire said menacingly with clenched fists

"Then enjoy this next!" Nepgear said before one-punching Warechu's stomach, Arfoire followed her at the same time as her, resulting in a synchronized punch that made Warechu hit the wall behind him.

"Worth….it…Chu…." Warechu weakly said as his body slowly slide down to the floor.

"His fur was smooth though, not gonna lie" Gehaburn spoke out about the mouse's fur which delighted her a bit.

"What the?!... Well, you're not wrong there, but It's a Mouse's fur! I feel disgusted when It touches my delicate skin" Arfoire said mockingly, Warechu was about to comment on his fur and the Old Lady's skin but was weak to do so, let alone lift a hand.

"Anyway…..Don't use other people's Shower Gel without permission!" Arfoire moved to the shower gel topic, she was angry that Gehaburn used it but did not tell her.

"Chill, Arfoire, chill," Gehaburn said with a calming gesture to Arfoire "I was about to tell you but when I peeked into your room you were focused on taking your time with the money that you had accumulated. So I would tell you later" Gehaburn explained.

"Ah…you've seen me doing that" Arfoire slumped at the thought someone had seen her playing with her money like a greedy boss. "I appreciate that you didn't interrupt me, which I'm surprised about. I'll let it slide this time, but ask me next time when you need something"

"Okie! Hehe" Gehaburn said with a silly face and her purple tongue sticking out a bit

Nepgear had finished clearing off the dust on her clothes and began to say "Glad that you two aren't gonna fight each other. Here, use ours as an exchange" Nepgear handed out their purple Shower Gel bottle to Arfoire.

Arfoire took the bottle and opened the tip to smell it "Mmm, not bad. I'll accept it" Arfoire said as she has done smelling and closed it off, she then explained some things before taking a bath upstairs.

"I assume that you know how this works. To make it short, Plant the Eggplants seeds on empty soil, Check and Harvest the ripe ones, and organize them in containers to be shipped. Got It?" Arfoire described and ask for confirmation, Nepgear and Gehaburn nodded at her. "Good, I'll be upstairs in a while to plan some things for the market shipment and the rest. I'll help you two later on"

As Arfoire had done explaining, she started to step further to the second level of her house. She stopped midway through and turned her back to see the two girls because she forgot to tell them something.

"Two more things, discard any fouls and insects on the plants. Also wake up Warechu so he can get his ass to work immediately" Arfoire added.

"Alright, you got it, Prez," Nepgear said with thumbs up, which made Arfoire relieved and continued to walk upstairs.

"Well then," Gehaburn was covered with purple mist and changed herself to a purple farmer's clothing with dark purple Overall and a little light purple shirt "Let's make out Prez proud!"

"Mhm," Nepgear hummed in agreement and went out first to do what she had told. Gehaburn was taking Warechu outside as she dragged him to wake him up and make the mouse work on the farm. They went on for a while and after some time Arfoire joined the fray as well, the four then worked hard until 9 AM.

(-)

9:15 AM, Arfoire's garage.

Nepgear, Gehaburn, and Warechu were about to head out to Planeptune after they had done all the tasks on the farm. Their last task is to ship the eggplants to one of the four nations, and Planeptune is today's schedule of the said Shipment. Before they go on their way, Arfoire gave them some of the pinpoints and pathways to which market they need to give the Eggplants to.

"Once you get inside the nation, get to this place first since it's the nearest. After that, follow the track I had made when I sent these shipments personally" Arfoire pointed to the map and gave it to Nepgear who was inside the truck as she was given the privilege to drive the grey truck.

Nepgear, sitting on the Driver's seat while Warechu was on the right seat, took the map from Arfoire and examine it for a little while, she then understood its context and folded the map to put it beside her.

"Alright, Prez. It should be easy enough to do, if we are done shipping the load can we free roam the nation? I and Gehaburn want to investigate there" Nepgear asked while motioning her right-hand thumb backward to Gehaburn in the back as the purple girl back that still wears the farmer's clothing, same can be said for Nepgear's clothing as well.

"Of course, you may do as you please. But come back here with the truck intact at 6:00 p.m., that's the time limit I can give you while you are out there" Arfoire allowed them.

"Thanks, Prez, we'll be on our way then," Nepgear said, then Gehaburn's head pops out from the see-through window in the back.

"Bye-bye Prezzy Arfoire!" Gehaburn spoke before Nepgear drove off from the garage and went on their way to Planeptune. Arfoire waved her hands from the distance in response, which can be seen from the rearview mirror.

"Wait, Prezzy Arfoire?" Arfoire suddenly realized what Gehaburn had called her and stopped her waving, she sighed at it then went inside her house to calculate further on her eggplants and plan further actions with the girls which Arfoire took account for.

While on the road, Warechu began to ask Nepgear on his left side what her and the weird purple girl goals are.

"What's your gig with granny? It's already weird that there's someone that can put up with her tasks, especially you are a CPU, Chu" Warechu said

"Hey! What about me?" Gehaburn joined the talk.

"With all that purple color all over your body and odd behavior, I don't even need to ask. You are already weird yourself, Chu" Warechu replied, Gehaburn pouted at him while Nepgear laughed at it before answering Warechu's question as she drove.

"To put it simply, we are from another dimension called Sigma Dimension and traveled to this one so we can find the culprit who's attacking our dimension by dumping weird and horrendous monsters in it. I and burn assigned ourselves to work and stay on Arfoire's farm as our base of operations" Nepgear explained to him.

"Why her and not the CPUs basilicom? Chu" Warechu bluntly asked.

"I'd deliberately avoid them due to….Certain reasons" Nepgear said in a hesitating way, she almost talked about her past which she would rather keep to a few people only. "Don't ask why, you just have to know that I'm avoiding them"

"Okay….My lips are sealed then, Chu" Warechu said with a gesture of zipping his mouth.

"You sure you can keep it sealed? Prezzy Arfoire said that you never know when to shut up, especially with someone named uhhh Compa, right?" Gehaburn points out at that part, suddenly Warechu began to talk like a fan or a lover.

"YES, my dear angelic Compa! I would do and say anything for her! Ohhhh my dearest! Chu" Warechu said passionately.

"Yeahhh you should shut your mouth for real about that, I can already feel Gear's anger boiling up right now" Gehaburn slowly looked at Nepgear's irritating face as the anger within her began to rise, but kept on holding the wheel in control.

"Huh? why would you be so mad over my angel Compa? I thought that you and Compa are friends, Chu" Warechu asked, but suddenly he gets a chill feeling around him.

"Burn, could you stretch your arms to hold the wheel a bit? I just want to talk with this….Rat" Nepgear said with a menacing smile on her face.

"Oh dear, alright Gear lemme take over" Gehaburn stretch her dark purple aura arms to the wheel and began to take control of the truck, Gehaburn then turned to look at Warechu for a bit "Good luck, Chu"

"Wait why do I need- CHU?!" Warechu was grabbed immediately by Nepgear's right hand as she leaned to him.

"Listen here, Rat. You better shut up about our real identities to the others, else I'll cut your "Angel" Compa to pieces and let you spectate all of that in horror as I torture her till death, and don't even ask my past and mention her name unless I asked you to. GOT IT!?" Nepgear threatened Warechu with her words. After Warechu nodded in fear, she then let go of him and continued her words "Good, behave well and we'll not harm you or your Compa in any way possible"

Warechu coughed and took a breather cause Nepgear's grab had suffocated him hard "Hah….hah….hah….Why are you so scary like that sadistic CPU!? Heck, even scarier than her! Chu" Nepgear lift her eyebrow at that question whilst she put her hands back on the wheel after Gehaburn had let go of it.

"Sadistic CPU? I don't even know who that is"

"Ah, I forgot you're from another dimension" Warechu facepalm himself "She's Plutia, also known as Iris Heart, CPU of Ultradimension Planeptune. She's gentle, kind, and lazy on her human form, but when she's in her goddess from her personality and body change drastically. Even so, both have goodwill, even though the goddess form has an extreme sadistic streak. If you see a purple-haired girl wearing pajama-like clothing and holding a Neptune doll, that's her. Chu" He explained to Nepgear

"Ah, noted. Wait, if she's the Planeptune's CPU, where are Neptune and Nepgear in this Dimension?"

"None, cuz they aren't from this Dimension. Both are in Hyper Dimension right now, dealing with the current problem that involves the sudden appearance of the weird monsters that's be popping up in two dimensions. Well, now it's three dimensions since your dimension are also involved here. What's your dimension's name again? Chu"

"Sigma dimension," Gehaburn told him as her arms are back to her. "Wait so how you know about the Hyper dimension like it's a next-door neighbor?"

"Well cuz it IS a next-door neighbor" Gehaburn tilted her head to the right in confusion "What I mean is that there's a gate that connects the two dimensions like a next-door thing. If the two of you ask how it can be like that, let's just say that in the past there was a certain CPU bent on destroying worlds until Purple Heart bands together both dimensions CPUs to defeat her in the end through the gate made from a lot of shares built up, Chu" Warechu explained again.

"Heh, as expected of sis, no matter what dimension you are in" Nepgear commented at it "Ah… How I wish that things would turn out that way, fighting together like that. But oh well…"

"Nepgear…." Gehaburn spoke softly, she can feel that Nepgear is currently reminiscing her past and grieved at her fate. In response, Gehaburn patted her back with her dark purple aura arms.

"Thanks for the pat, Burn. I'm okay now" Nepgear reassured Gehaburn as she felt better now, knowing that her partner was there to comfort her.

"Damn, you two just made me more curious about what happened to the both of you. But of course, I'm not allowed to know. Chu" Warechu said

"About that, I'll tell you when I feel like it. So for now keep it to yourself" Gehaburn added and Warechu nodded at it.

"Mkay, Chu. Hey, we are already here!" Warechu spoke out as he can see the Planeptune's entry gate, then he opened the map to see the directions. "Just go straight in and I'll direct you on which way to go. Trust me on this, Chu"

"I'll take your word for it. Wait, Burn could you hold the wheel for a while?," Nepgear asked again to Gehaburn, to which she agreed and stretched her arms again.

Nepgear then rolled up her straight little bit dark lilac hair until it reached her head, then she put on her farmer's hat to hold the hair in it. Nepgear then motioned Gehaburn to let go of the wheel so she can take it over. Gehaburn also followed Nepgear's hairdo to cover her identity

"Now then, Warechu. Say the way" Nepgear let Warechu guide her as she can trust him a bit. Warechu then directs her on which way to go and stops one by one to drop off the shipments. It goes on for a long while until it's afternoon.

(-)

11:00 AM, Planeptune's last market stop.

The last shipments were being carried over by Nepgear and Gehaburn while Warechu deals with the market owner there to take the money while negotiating further payments and deals as what Arfoire had said him to.

"For a mouse, he sure can handle all these into account," Gehaburn said as she puts down the last container inside the market "Must be experience talking, I wonder what's his second job is? Assuming he's a part-timer, Warechu must have another job"

"Beats me, as far as I know from Prez, he declined on a full-time job on Arfoire's farm" Nepgear shrugged off while counting the containers to see if they are all in check "Done, no shortage of the containers here. This is our last stop then"

"PHEW, we're finally done" Gehaburn breathed in relief "We got a lot of time on our hands, want to go buy something Gear?"

"Sure why not, we'll tell Warechu first that we are away to buy some stuff for a while" Gehaburn nodded in agreement and the two told Warechu that they would like to wander a bit. Warechu told them to go on ahead for while as he will be waiting near the truck for them.

Nepgear and Gehaburn went on to a mini-store to buy some snacks, which is a Gehaburn thing. Nepgear on the other hand searched and took some newspaper from the store.

"Burn, don't buy too much. We don't have a lot of allowances here!" Nepgear told Gehaburn, she then noticed the TV news above Gehaburn's position. Nepgear looked closer and saw a purple-haired CPU wearing a black HDD outfit fighting against a monster that have the upper part of an Epsilon and a lower part of a Nidhogg in the city. The monster's eyes were red like usual and its body are all black-colored. The CPU's black sword clashed with Epsilon's body but it did not damage the monster at all.

"Welp, another one of that odd monster appeared again in here, and we are close to the fighting area no less" A male janitor appeared beside Nepgear as he watched the TV as well and talked about it "I don't know if this is the beginning of something big, but it's there alright. Because of them, we can't be so sure that we're safe knowing these monsters can appear anytime and anywhere randomly like a pop-up ad, plus they're unkillable as what eye-witnesses had said. Man, how long will the CPUs get rid of this problem"

'Like a pop-up ad huh, they must have used the red portal to appear and attack whenever they want. Also, they're unkillable? Is there a different effect and enemy type between here and our dimension? Interesting' Nepgear thought inside of her about the Janitor words, she noticed one detail that the janitor had said.

"U-um, excuse me, sir. Did you mention that we are close to the are?' Nepgear asked in a meek weak girl voice as she had once been in the past.

"Um yeah, just a few blocks from here and you'll be able to see the fight closer. But I wouldn't suggest that cuz the monsters tend to attack weak ones, as I had known from TV footage that is" The janitor answered the farmer girl wearing farmer's clothing and hat.

'Weak? More like you're the one that's fucking weak, complaining here while there are those who fight' Nepgear spoke in anger inside of her, but shrugged it off as she didn't want any trouble regarding this dimension's humans

"Ah, I-i see. Then could I see the are from up top of this building through the stairs?" Nepgear pointed at a stairway on her left.

"Sure why not, that is if you have binoculars," He told the farmer girl.

"Okay, T-thanks" Nepgear bowed to the man slightly and went on her way to the very top of the building through the stairs. Gehaburn noticed this as she had done paying her stuff to the cashier and followed Nepgear while putting the groceries into her inventory.

They walked up for a while until they reached the top of the market building, it only took them a couple of seconds as they are fit and the building is not that high.

"So…..what are we…doing here?..." Gehaburn panted a bit as she asked Nepgear.

"Time to do a little…." Nepgear stopped a bit as she was focused on connecting the two UB Machine Gun into a black sniper that resembled Uni's black sniper rifle "...Sniping"

Nepgear took out a sniper assembly hold and put it onto the Sniper rifle, after that, she prone her body on the edge of the building that directs to where the fight was happening to look at it through the scope. Like in the TV, a purple-haired and black-colored suit CPU were fighting against the combine Epsilon and Nidhogg. She guessed that it's Plutia's HDD form down there, given the purple hair color, but it could be a stretch of proof for her.

"What a girl! She can fight well despite being alone against that thing" Gehaburn praised as she looked down with her purple Nep-Binoculars. "Gear, are gonna take the shot?"

"Wait, I need the right timing so I won't expose myself" Nepgear hold her breath and waited her moment. When Plutia's sword was about to hit the monster's chest, Nepgear take the shot and the bullet hit at the same time as the sword hit. It pained the monster quite a lot, so much that its chest armor had fallen off and showed an odd crystal in the center. The shot couldn't be heard by the people below as it was equipped with a silencer.

"It's a hit, Gear! Great shot!" Gehaburn was amazed at Nepgear's sniping. "Just one more and the monster goes bye-bye!"

"Yeah, but I'll need your help with this one" Nepgear said while still keeping eyes on the monster.

"How exactly?" Gehaburn looked at Nepgear with her Nep-Binoculars "What the?! Your head's so big! Oh wait, I'm still using the binoculars" She then put her Nep-Binoculars back to her inventory.

Nepgear snorts at Gehaburn silliness and then explained in short "Connect and focus your power on precision and hit damage. We'll finish it in this last shot as I time my shot"

"Alright let's do this! The GearBurn Snipe Finish!" Gehaburn called it excitingly as she went inside the rifle, turning it into a purple sniper rifle. Then she charged up the bullet and the scope with her powers. Nepgear waited for the right time again for Plutia's sword to hit the center since she's also targetting it. Once it gets closer, Nepgear shot a faint purple-red lilac bullet to hit the crystal as the sword hits it as well, making it look like Plutia's the one who did the finishing blow.

Nepgear expected the monster to leave there to waste and not turn into bits and disappear, but her expectation was wrong as the monster suddenly vanished into thin air. She was confused in the aftermath.

'It vanished? How odd, a new breed or new experiment perhaps?' Nepgear was in her thoughts until she saw two certain human beings that she despised through her scope.

It was IF and Compa who came late to help Plutia, but the CPU shrugged it off as it was quicker than before. She then returned to her human form and sighed in relief, as seen from the scope. But for Nepgear, her rage boils, and lost herself as she has IF and Compa in her sights while gripping hard at the grip of the sniper.

"You fucking traitors….Playing buddy-buddy over there…I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL MYSELF!" Nepgear, in her anger with repeated thoughts of kill, wanted to see them die and swiftly click the rifle's trigger targetting at IF first.

But nothing happened.

"WHAT? What going on?!" Nepgear looked at her purple sniper rifle to see what was going on as she got up. "Why didn't it shoot!?"

"NEPGEAR STOP!"

The rifle shouted with Gehaburn's voice as she's still in the weapon. It then turned back to two black UB machine guns as Gehaburn got out of it, She then send them back into Nepgear's inventory

"But why?!"

"They are not from our dimension, remember that," Gehaburn said softly as she walked closer to Nepgear "Look, I know you hated them. But don't bring them down as you did in our dimension. They are not related to us, Gear. Besides, you don't want them CPUs to suffer the same thing as you did, right?" Said Gehaburn her words that are straight to the point.

"Yeah, you're absolutely right. I-I'm sorry Burn, I just couldn't control myself when I see them now. This is what I feared when I came here knowing that this dimension has them both alive" Nepgear slumped down in grief of her actions, she didn't want other CPUs to suffer like her despite in a Different Dimension.

"If you can't control yourself then I'll be there to stop you as I'll also be there for you, no matter how many times you lose yourself," Gehaburn said while crouching down to pat Nepgear's head, she then took out a snack bar from her inventory. "Here, have some snack, Gear. picked this by myself btw, I guarantee you that it's a good snack to dig in"

Nepgear wiped her tears and grabbed the snack bar named Snepkers to eat it "Thanks Burn" Nepgear thanked her while munching the snack in her mouth, which tasted sweet and mild at the same time.

"Hehe, no problem Gear. We are in this together, so I got your back and you got mine! Now let's get back to Warechu. Bet he's still waiting in the truck"

"Yeah, we might have made him wait too long"

The two then walked down through the stairs together and side by side. As they got down and out from the mini-store, they walked towards the truck that was still parked in the front of the market. Nepgear went into the driver's seat on the left and Gehaburn through the back. Warechu was there sitting on the right seat eating some chips.

"You guys have been gone for a while huh, did both of you got what you need?" Warechu asked the two, which was replied with nods from Nepgear and Gehaburn. "Good, cuz now you are going to drop me off to where I do my second job, Chu" Warechu pointed at Nepgear.

"Huh? Where to?" Gehaburn asked from the back.

"To where the Seven Sages reside, Chu!" Warechu said

Nepgear and Gehaburn looked at each other in confusion at it, then shrugged it off and Nepgear stepped on the gas as per Warechu's request.

"Lead the way then"

(-)

13:00, Seven Sages place, which was originally Eden.

The truck had almost reached the building that was surrounded by mountains with the design that looked like a solid but normal-looking building structure with yellow lights coming from its windows, at least to what Nepgear perceived it. It's her first time looking at the place.

"Ahhh, we're finally here, Chu"

"Yeah, you didn't tell us that it's this far from Planeptune with a truck!" Gehaburn protested.

"You didn't ask, chu," Warechu said with a smug look, which made Gehaburn annoyed a bit while pouting at him.

"Settle down you two, we'll be arriving soon anyway. It's good enough that we haven't been attacked by monsters. Much to his directions for a safe passage" Nepgear commented, she then noticed some smoke near the building. "Hey, is that normal to you Warechu?"

"Hmm?" Warechu didn't know what Nepgear had meant until he saw the smoke through the front view "No that's not normal at all, Step on the gas! Chu"

"Hold on tight!"

Nepgear stepped on the gas to fasten the truck's speed to get to where the smoke originated. Once they were able to see what was going on, they saw a half ice half fire Garuda fighting against a two-horned light blue-haired woman wearing a black and white bodysuit with some light blue color in different parts. The monster didn't get any damage while the woman sustained some.

"Ahhh, That's my other boss! Rei!" Warechu said, "In her psychotic CPU form! Chu"

"Wow, she must be really frightening to make you scared like that"

Gehaburn told him, as she was interested in this person called Rei.

"Oh, you didn't even know how I felt when she's in that form several times. But it looks like she's not gonna win this one"

"Hmm, I'll stop here for a while to get changed" Nepgear stepped on the brake pedal and parked in a forest, she then got out of the truck and went behind it to change herself into her usual black clothing set. She put on her hoodie to turn on the mask as her identity cover-up.

Nepgear told Warechu and Gehaburn, who already changed back to her purple outfit with the split hoodie, her plan on what they would do when meeting them as they ran towards the fight area.

"Gehaburn and I will show up ourselves to Rei to help her, but we act like we were passing by and don't know each other" Nepgear looked at Warechu "Once we're done dealing with the monster, I and Burn will leave you in this place, got it?" She told him with a voice that sounded like a robot.

"I'll have to get used to that voice, but okay. Chu" Warechu understood her words.

"Good, now go on ahead to the building" As Nepgear had said, Warechu went to the other building. She then looked at Gehaburn as they got close to the fight.

"Let's do this, Burn!"

"You got it!" Gehaburn said while putting on her hoodie to cover her head like Nepgear did, minus the mask, and ran quickly to the Garuda

Gehaburn jumped at the monster with her dark aura claws opened and double scratched its body as an initiative, it then followed by Nepgear running and shooting the monster's wings to make it land with her AllRon Slay Gunblade. But before it touched the ground, Nepgear slide down under it and slashed its stomach that pained the Garuda quite a lot. The two then stopped beside Rei, which was still shocked at the thought that they were able to damage the monster and she didn't

"Yo!" Gehaburn greeted her first.

"Yo?" Rei replied as she was weirded out at the unusual all purple colored hooded woman "Wait, who are you two" She asked them both.

"Well, in short, we are just wandering adventurers. My name is Morea and that one with the mask is ummmm, Rogue!" She then noticed the Garuda was trying to get back up "Can we talk later? Gotta deal with this first. Still up for a fight? Miss…."

"Rei, Rei Ryghts" Rei added herself as the purple woman didn't know her name "And yes, I can still fight! This bird had caused some damage to my home and I'm gonna teach it a fucking lesson!" Rei spoke with a psychotic face and smile.

"Great, Time to finish this with a blast!" Morea put her dark purple hands together, facing at the Garuda, and began charging her energy. She winked at Rogue, who was beside Rei, as a signal to use her Gunblade as well.

"Hmph" Rogue huffed at it with a smile that can't be seen due to her mask and pointed her Gunblade to the monster. Rei, on the other hand, charged her staff and immediately released her strike first.

"LIGHT OF DOMINATION!"

As rei chanted the skill and swiped her staff, a blink of light appeared at the Garuda and a sudden big beam light appeared on it. Morea and Rogue did their part as well. For Morea launched a straight Purple beam on it while Rouge bring out a Dark-lilac beam from her Gunblade. The three beams had touched each other which resulted in a big explosion and damage to the Garuda.

After the explosion died down, The Garuda slumped down to the ground permanently and began to vanish. Rei sighed in relief and transform back to her human form that wears a black business-like uniform with white linings and two white gauntlets with light blue linings on her arms.

"Thanks for the help you two, It would've been more troubling if I kept on fighting a little while longer than I'm able to," Rei said to Morea and Rogue, but Rogue ignored her as she walked towards the area where the Garuda had vanished. Rei let it slide and spoke to Morea instead.

"Don't sweat it, you're lucky that we noticed the smoke around the area as we were traveling" Morea said while looking at her surroundings, some of the grass and trees had been burnt by the Garuda's half fire attacks. Fortunately, it started to die down as the source were eliminated.

"Y-yeah," Rei then realized something and began to bow in apology a bit. "The attack had hit our place several times and w-we couldn't react fast enough. As you can see, it wrecked our place"

"I know, especially that part of the building is gonna fall" Morea pointed to one of the structures that were on the verge of collapsing, it then fall and made a crashing sound "And it did"

"Right, I'll fix that l-later" Rei sighed. "Is there anything that y-you would like as a reward? I would at least provide you with something"

"Information," Rouge said with her robotic voice

Rei looked to her left to see Rouge who was holding an empty flask on the masked girl's right hand. For some reason, Rei gets the chills when talking to her.

"I-information? What exactly d-do you mean by it?" Rei asks for reconfirmation.

"Any pieces of information about these monsters that you know," Rouge replied.

"Hmmm, what I know is that these monsters first appeared a few days ago. Been attacking places at random, making our daily lives disrupted, weird c-combinations of two or three monsters, and most importantly that they are unkillable. At least until the two of you showed up"

'Unkillable? It's the same answer as what the janitor had said to me. I need to look into this' Rogue thought to herself while looking at her empty flask.

"I think that you fought with it for a while to weaken it, hence when we arrived it was easy to hurt it. So just have to hit their weak spots" Rogue explained to Rei, but she knows that it isn't the case. Rogue needs to make herself and Morea less suspicious.

"Y-yeah, I think that's a valid reason" Rei believed Rogue's words.

"Well thanks for the info, much appreciated" Rogue then looked at Morea and nodded at each other, "I think it's about time we head on our way. You have people you need to see right?"

"O-oh yes! I must see whether Abnes and the others are okay" Rei then skipped a few steps away from the two, then turned back to see them again before leaving.

"If you ever visit us again, we'll treat both of you with hospitality. Also, if you wanna work with us we have an open slot for new members of the Seven Sages group" Rei told them about a job application.

Morea looked at Rogue and then to Rei "If we feel like it, yeah. But maybe next time"

"Yes, there's hope for more people on our side!" Rei said with happiness, but quickly cleans herself into formality once more because of the two hooded people looking at her in an awkward atmosphere "Ehem, well I-I'll best be on my way then. Hope we see each other again!"

"You got it!" Morea said with a V-hand sign directed to Rei. After that, Rei bowed at them before running to Eden's main building. When Rei is not visible to them anymore, they turn back to return to their Truck which was left alone in the forest.

As Rei was running, she wondered about the hooded masked girl named Rogue. For her, it felt like she knew her and did not know her at the same time.

'Who was that? Her parka coat hoodie and sailor clothing feel familiar to me. It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't think of anyone. How odd'

Rei let go of that thought as she couldn't think of an answer and arrived at the main building. She saw Abnes and Warechu arguing at each other like usual, so she threatened them with her psycho face and told them to repair the damage that Eden had sustained with other people that accepted Rei's invitation for a job, props to Rei's confidence and experience.

Meanwhile in the forest, Morea and Rogue were walking side by side towards the truck. Morae looked at Rogue who was examining the empty flask, which weirded her as there's nothing inside.

"Hey, watcha looking at Rogue?" Morea asked her.

"Something that I extracted from the area where the Garuda had vanished" Rogue replied, she then opened her hoodie and mask "By the way, we're already alone here Burn, no need to use our cover-up name"

"Oh, right" Gehaburn opened her hoodie as well "So how is it? Our cover-up nicknames?"

"I like it, it fits us well. You're good at this aren't you?"

"Yes I do, and I'm proud of it! Maybe I should refer to myself as Gehaburn the Nicknamer!" Gehaburn spoke with her arms crossed at her boobs

"Show off, but I have to admit that you're quick at thinking up a good nickname. Sigh, if only your cooking is as good as that" Gehaburn sighed at Gehaburn.

"Urk- that's on me" Gehaburn was struck at it, then she starts being serious again "But seriously, what did you extract? All I see there is emptiness"

"The essence residue in the air. My hunch was correct when I got closer to it while you were talking to Rei back there. Once the weird monster died in this dimension, its essence dissipates to the air, different from the ones who appeared in our dimension" Nepgear explained to Gehaburn

"Ah right, Rei mentioned that they were unkillable. That part confused me as we can kill it with ease a few times already" Gehaburn said as she was posing a thinker pose while walking.

"That's what I am about to find out, with this flask and our portable lab inside the farm. Plus, I would like to contact Trick about a hypothesis that I had quickly thought" Nepgear added in another note.

"Which is?" Gehaburn raised an eyebrow atNepgear.

"That we and our family in SigmaDimension have something that both Hyperdimension and Ultradimension don't have"

"Hmm, I see" Gehaburn responded, then went on to another topic "Speaking of which, I'd like to visit Hyper dimension someday and see what's going on there. Of course for our objective first"

"I'd like to as well, but we need to make sure we don't leave a single clue in this dimension" Nepgear shared the same sentiment as well.

"You got that right. Hey, that's our truck there!" Gehaburn pointed forward to the truck, it was in the parking spot. "Hurry up Gear, It's getting late and we don't want Prezzy Arfoire to nag at us"

Nepgear huffed at it and went inside the driver's seat for her to drive, while Gehaburn sat down beside her as they left Warechu there to do his second job. Nepgear started the engine and began to drive the truck back to Arfoire's farm through the safe route.

As they were on their way, Nepgear began to talk to Gehaburn about something that she had been thinking about after seeing Rei Ryghts.

"Hey Burn," Nepgear asked while still looking on the road.

"Nyam nyam nyam, Hmm?" Gehaburn hummed while chowing down some Snepckers that she had bought.

"Did you record the girl Rei Ryghts?"

"Uhhh yeah, why do you- Wait, Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Gehaburn was shocked in realization and stopped her munching.

"Yep, let's make a new member based on her. She seems trustworthy, even though she stutters her own words sometimes. But I guess that's her charm"

"Wholeheartedly agree! And she has a psycho side as well. It's like two sides of a coin" Gehaburn added as she gestured a coin shape with her hands. "What should we name her?"

"Let's think about that later. We don't have the materials we need right now, but I'm sure we'll get them eventually. For now, let's just go home and call it a day before I start my analysis in the lab"

"You're right….ahhhhhhhh~" Gehaburn yawned as she was tired for today "Can I sleep for a while Gear?"

"Go ahead, it's 3 PM right now so I guess we'll be arriving home in about 2 hours and 30 minutes" Nepgear allowed her.

"Thanks, Gear" Gehaburn pulled out a purple pillow from her inventory and put it on the window beside her, then she rested her head on the pillow and quickly fall asleep.

"That was fast" Nepgear looked to her right to see Gehaburn sleeping peacefully "When she's like this, her beauty really shines huh. Sweet dreams Burn"

When Nepgear looked back to the road, she can hear Gehaburn snoring loudly.

"ZZZZZZZZZZ"

"Aaaaand her beauty is gone, sigh"

The truck traveled for a while and finally arrived at the farm. The time was close to 6:00 Pm so they are safe from Arfoire's nagging. They told her the shipment results, which made Arfoire happy and the three began to eat dinner like usual while enjoying the night before they go to bed and end the day.

To Be Continued.

And thus ends this chapter, which took quite a while. Also, I hoped that I portrayed Rei Ryghts correctly, Especially she should be more confident but sometimes stutters her words still. Furthermore, I would like to thank Onemananime346 for helping me out with my Fanfic. He mentioned some points which I try to use to improve myself, and he has a neptunia fanfic in Pixiv called Father Angel: Odyssey of Tarkus which is dark but if you like that kind of thing then I recommend you to read it. Or you could subscribe to his OneManCast channel on YouTube, both choices help him.

With the ad having been done, time for some things I wanna mention. I made a fanservice for Warechu, Snickers as Snepckers, imagine two machine guns connected through the back part and it transforms into Uni's black rifle. Also, Morea in Basque language is purple, much like Gehaburn's all purple body while Rogue is just Rogue. From this onward, I will use the cover-up nicknames in certain scenarios. To make it simple, Morae is Gehaburn and Rogue is Nepgear when both are disguised.

Anyway, I appreciate that those who read this have made it this far. Thanks a bunch and wait for Chap 11.
