Chapter 14
17:00, Anonydeath's Lab
"Welcome to my Lab, and I am Anonydeath. Pleased to make your acquaintance"
Anonydeath, with his effeminate voice, greeted Nepgear and Gehaburn who had stumbled upon his Lab. He then got off his chair and gets closer to the two.
"What brings you two darlings here? Hmm? Or should I say, Nepgear and Burn?" Anonydeath said while he pointed at the two girls.
Nepgear and Gehaburn were alerted that Anonydeath had known their names right at that moment, especially since this was their first time meeting him. Gehaburn quickly rounded up a purple mist around her and Nepgear so they could quickly change to their usual outfit.
"How and when did you know our true identities?" Nepgear brandished her AllRon Gunblade at Anonydeath after changing herself to her black clothing set.
"Yeah! Are you some kind of a fortune-teller or something?" Gehaburn asked while in her outfit with the split hoodie, she also readied herself for any attacks that might come.
"Whoa whoa there ladies, relax! You don't need to get so hostile at me!" Anonydeath said with his arms on top.
"Then answer my question" Nepgear coldly asked as she pointed her gunblade even closer to Anonydeath's face.
Nepgear was really serious about eliminating Anonydeath depending on his answer. She did not want anyone other than Arfoire and Warechu to know their real identities.
"Alright, but could you lower down weapons first?" Anonydeath asked, alas he soon was greeted by a purple claw on his right side which startled him.
"No can do bud," Gehaburn said with a sinister smile.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything. Sigh, you really are different from the Nepgear in the Hyper Dimension" Anonydeath sighed before he began to explain.
"I have hidden cameras and sound recorders all over this Ultra Dimension, especially big cities like Lastation here. At first, it was only for fun. But with the recent situations and some phenomenon that transpired, I've been observing these things for quite a while to figure out who creates it and what is their weakness" Anonydeath explained.
"How nice of you. I didn't expect that from a stalker" Nepgear thinks that what Anonydeath said was sound and true.
"Well, I wouldn't be doing this if they didn't disrupt my beautiful time mesmerizing my Noire and take pictures of her cosplaying~," Anonydeath said.
"Ehem, Anyway…... I first knew the two of you when you were doing your job for Arfoire with Warechu back in Planeptune a few days ago. It intrigued me that you and your partner could kill those weird monsters with ease, not even my Noire couldn't kill a single one"
"Best call them Hazard Monsters," Nepgear added.
"Hazard Monsters eh? That's fitting for them" Anonydeath nodded.
"So from what I'm getting here, you've been observing us when we are in this dimension ever since we first arrived in Planeptune?" Nepgear said.
"Yep. There's no way I would let my eyes off you two after pulling up that sniping kill, and it paid off as I got to see some action and fun" Anonydeath replied.
"Fun?" Gehaburn raised her eyebrow while lowering down her purple claws.
"Yes. You two amused me with your shenanigans, Particularly today, you really toyed with that fat tailor man, Haha" Anonydeath laughed slightly.
"Ah that, yeah. I didn't mean to toy him. I just wanted to uh, borrow his fisher clothes a bit, ehe" Gehaburn giggled.
"Darling. If by borrowing you mean snatching, then you got it right" Anonydeath told her.
"He's right. Even if it was for extra caution, we got ourselves unwanted attention before" Nepgear said with a poker face.
"Ouch" Gehaburn felt roasted by the two of them.
"Heh, now can you please chill and lower that gunblade of yours?" Anonydeath said to Nepgear as her AllRon Gunblade was still pointed at him.
"Hmph, fine, your words were true and no lie was said" Nepgear put her weapon back into her inventory, which put relief on Anonydeath.
"Phew, alright. So why are you two ladies looking for me?" Anonydeath asked after he returned to his seat.
"Me and Gear here wanna ask if you know how to get some of those edible CPU Crystals," Gehaburn told him.
"That purple crystal with a power logo on it?" Gehaburn nodded at him after he asked for clarification, and Nepgear and Gehaburn nodded in response.
"Too bad for you two darlings, there are no more available points for it to spawn nor the whereabouts for those that have spawned in here. This is what I meant by the weird phenomenon, all the known spots I know of had been randomized all over the place. Once I got a hold of their new spots, not a single energy or crystal was available there" Anonydeath told them.
"Dang, not a single one?" Gehaburn asked, and Anonydeath nodded as a reply.
"I expected this much. As much as I hate saying this, the ones we're after are one step ahead of us" Nepgear looked disappointed.
"Though there's a tiiiiiiny wrinkle," Anonydeath said while he made a tiny pinch hand gesture, Nepgear and Gehaburn looked at him with sudden interest.
"Oh-oh! Tell us!" Gehaburn said.
"Go on" Nepgear focused her look on him, to make sure he didn't trick her.
"Mmmm, why should I? You two are already interestingly suspicious enough" Anonydeath crossed his arms.
"Aww come on! You can't just tease us like that!" Gehaburn protested.
"I'll handle this, Burn" Nepgear gestured to Gehaburn to stand back before she stepped closer to Anonydeath.
"Go, Gear, go!" Gehaburn cheered from the back.
Nepgear walked a bit so she could get near enough to Anonydeath. She plans to make a deal with him and if things go south then she has enough distance to eliminate him quickly before he does something underhanded.
"You've come here prepared to bargain with me?" Anonydeath guessed.
"Well, yes. I've come to bargain. Unless you want to do this the rough way" Nepgear said.
"Oooohhh, rough play! My favorite~" Anonydeath said with a little bit of a lewd tone.
"Not that kind of rough! Ugh!" Nepgear facepalms herself.
"Poor choice of words, Gear" Gehaburn said quietly, Alas, Nepgear can hear her.
"I heard that Burn" Nepgear glared at Gehaburn.
"Sorry!" Gehaburn put up an apologetic pose.
"Haha. So, what makes you think that you can convince me to tell you more?" Anonydeath turned serious to Nepgear.
Nepgear smirked and put out a purple flash disk, with an 18+ logo on its back, from her inventory. Gehaburn recognized that flashdisk and had almost laughed out loud.
"A flashdisk? What's inside?" Anonydeath asked as he didn't see the logo from his distance between Nepgear.
"Something that every perverted stalker like you would want. Is there a place where I can insert this?"
Anonydeath pointed to one of the machines beside Nepgear for her to use. She then put the flashdisk on the available slot and it showed something on the screen that made Anonydeath immediately stand up from his chair and stared intensely at the screen.
"I-I-Is that A-a-a N-n-n-n-na-" Anonydeath wasn't able to finish his sentence since he's stuttered too much.
"Yes, it's a bare naked Noire that you're looking at," Nepgear said.
"But how? How did you get this photo" Anonydeath asked desperately in need
"Well, from her usual cosplay stuff that the disk found through your database. With a little bit of touch from my flashdisk, you'll be able to see her like that whenever you wish" Nepgear explains with an evil grin before she continued.
"Now do we have a-"
"DEAL!" Anonydeath excitingly said while he shakes his legs In excitement.
"Hold it. Your information first, then I'll give you this" Nepgear said while taking out her flashdisk.
"Remember that I have the upper hand here. If you back down, you won't get this and your life anymore. Also, don't think that I can't use your technologies without you. Yours is simpler than what my machines have to offer" Nepgear added with a deep glare while she kept her grin.
Anonydeath twitched and began to feel reluctant on giving the information, but the disk was too valuable for him to lose. In his lust, he gave in and turned back to his computer to show the two what information he had. But before he showed them…
"Promise me that you wouldn't hurt any of the CPUs? Particularly my Noire? I've seen them exhaust themselves too much that it felt depressing, even for a maiden like me" Anonydeath told Nepgear.
Nepgear was surprised to hear that. She thought that he wanted to beg to not kill him, given that he was a pervert and selfish. At least, that's what Nepgear thought when he first met him. But Instead, he was concerned about the Goddesses' well-being, Ultra Noire's well-being to be precise.
'A perverted stalker worries for the CPUs… At least he didn't lie about it,' Nepgear smiled faintly.
Gehaburn then chuckled and laid her left arm around Nepgear, then she pointed her right arm to Nepgear.
"Don't worry about Gear here! She might be stiffy cold like ice and menacing, but she would never hurt the CPUs here" Gehaburn said.
"Though, if they attack me I would retaliate against them. But I won't go far as killing the CPUs, so rest assured" Nepgear reassured Anonydeath while putting her arms on her hips.
"...Fine, at least the two of you don't feel like a villain. But for some reason, my hunch is telling me you are" Anonydeath said while pressing some buttons on the computer.
"What? Us? Pssh, Nah. We may act mischievous but we're not that evil, right Gear?" Gehaburn smiled while she tackled Nepgear a little with her elbow, signaling her to act not villainy a bit.
"...Right you are, Burn!..." Nepgear sighed deep inside while she said that.
"Uhuh….Aaaanywaaaayyy…"
Anonydeath pressed one button and his big screen behind him showed a complete map of the Ultradimension's Gamindustri, with four logos representing each nation on different spots. Lowee on the north, Planeptune on the left, Lastation on the right, and Leanbox on the south. The map wasn't surprising for Nepgear, since she already had a look at the map that was given by Arfoire.
But Nepgear noticed that the Leanbox logo was blinking with a target mark on it.
"Is that a V-shaped island?" Gehaburn said surprisingly as she pointed at the said island located on the southwest of the screen.
"Yes, but that's not where you're supposed to look at. Focus, darling, focus!" Anonydeath reminded Gehaburn while he snapped his fingers repeatedly.
"You can find the CPU Crystals inside Leanbox, specifically inside Green Heart's Basilicom. It hasn't even moved a bit ever since the CPU Crystal spots are randomized, so it's worth a shot" Anonydeath told them.
"So you're telling us to sneak in and steal Vert's belongings?" Nepgear wanted to clarify.
"You want them Crystals, right? Besides, it's not like the first time you've done this" Anonydeath referred to the incident in Lowee.
"Here, as a bonus, I'll send you the Basilicom's schematics and the exact Exact location of the Crystals" Anonydeath added as he clicked some buttons on his Computer's keyboard.
A few seconds later, Nepgear's Nepwatch was beeping. Nepgear checked on it to see the schematics data and where the Crystals are.
'At her fancy office huh, alright then' Nepgear said in her mind.
"Thanks for the help. Here, catch" Nepgear thanked and threw the 18+ flashdisk to Anonydeath.
"Ohohohohooo~. With this, I'll be able to fully view the divine beauty of my sweet sweet Noire~~" Anonydeath enthusiastically said while caressing the flashdisk.
"Burn, hit it"
"Here's a bonus for you as well, bub!" Gehaburn, following Nepgear's signal, shoots a tiny purple mist with her finger toward Anonydeath.
"Okay….what was that?" Anonydeath said worryingly.
"Just a tiiiny bit of a hex" Gehaburn replied.
"A Hex?! What for?" Anonydeath shockingly asked.
"In case you get in our way in the future, that Hex will trigger itself and you will suffer an immense pain before dying" Nepgear fully explained.
"Oh dear, how scary," Anonydeath commented.
"It is, and I'm not joking. So be a good "Pure Maiden" and don't get in our way, got it?" Nepgear said coldly.
"...I won't get in your way, you have my words. Hah, you're no fun…." Anonydeath slumped on his chair while looking away from the two.
"I'll have fun with the people I trust. Not with someone suspicious like you" Nepgear pointed at Anonydeath.
"Now, can we have a little lift to our truck? Pretty please?" Gehaburn begged a bit.
"What? Why would I?" Anonydeath asked why he should do that for the two.
"You want a big hole on top of your lab?" Nepgear asked while she put out her "AllRon" Gunblade and pointed it above her.
"Gah! You got me. Get on top of the blue squared platform over there" Anonydeath told them while he turned on the teleportation activation code.
As Nepgear and Gehaburn get close to the platform, A beam of light enveloped the two and they were transported back to where they parked their truck in Lastation's parking lot. After they were gone, Anonydeath loosened his tensed body and sighed again while he began to transfer the 18+ flash disk's data into his computer.
"Hah…. I really shouldn't mess with them. Beautiful ladies, yet there's something dark within the two" Anonydeath said to himself, then he realized something.
"Hmmm, "I" can't get in their "Way", huh…. That gives me an idea, hmhm"
(-)
17:30, Lastation's Parking Lot, Near Arfoire's Grey Truck.
A pillar of light appeared on the left side of the truck. It then slowly diminished itself, revealing Nepgear and Gehaburn.
"Seems he didn't trap us in the end. Let's bail out of here and plan a heist with Arfoire" Nepgear said after she looked around to make sure they were safe.
"Oh snap, A heist?! We are going Grand Nep Auto here! Let's go go go!" Gehaburn said excitingly.
The two went in the truck, with Nepgear handling the wheel, and drove off from Lastation as quickly as possible so they didn't waste more of their time.
While on the road, Nepgear began to say some words to Gehaburn.
"I'm sorry"
"Hah? What for?" Gehaburn was weirded out by this sudden apology.
"For yelling and forcing you to open a portal yesterday. I was so scared and worried for Magic that I didn't control myself and explained it beforehand. That dreaded feeling of losing someone dear got the best of me….." Nepgear told her while she grips the wheel harder.
Gehaburn's eyes widened for a bit and then smiled before she put her hand on top of Nepgear's head to stroke it gently.
"Don't feel too bad about it Gear. It shows that you care for the family that loves you back as well, and that makes it worth it at the end" Gehaburn told Nepgear.
"Go ahead and use me all you want, Gear. It's your desire and will. Plus, I believe that you're doing things for our sake…and our home" Gehaburn continued.
Nepgear was silent, with her eyes kept on the road. But she also put up a smile in relief. Not because it was okay to use Gehaburn whenever she wanted, but because Gehaburn believed in her.
"Well, if you put it that way….. Shall I use you to manage the whole G-Farm as the Head Manager back at home?" Nepgear jokingly said.
"All of them? Awww heck no! I can't deal with all the paperwork and control things. I'm too smooth-brained for all of it" Gehaburn said while putting up a headache with her hands on both sides of her head.
"Haha, I'm just kidding, Burn. There's no way you would handle all of them anyway" Nepgear said.
"Okay, now you're just straight up making fun of me right now" Gehaburn pouted.
"That I am," Nepgear said, then she noticed that they were close to Arfoire's house.
Once they arrived at Arfoire's house, they began to plan out the step-by-step heist, which will take place in Leanbox's basilicom at night.
(-)
22:00, Ultradimension's Leanbox, near its Basilicom, which is shaped like the alphabet M.
Nepgear, with her hoodie and mask on, was crouching behind one of the buildings near basilicom. She was observing the basilicom that was decently guarded by some Leanbox's guards. As Nepgear observed them, Gehaburn popped behind Nepgear after she had done her task.
"I'm here, Gear," Gehaburn whispered as she crouched behind Nepgear.
"I can see that. Did you check the areas I told you about?" Nepgear asked while she whispers as well.
"Yeah, and as you've guessed, the other blind spots are more heavily guarded than this one," Gehaburn answered.
"Mhm, this confirms the Data that he sent were spot on," Nepgear remarked the data that Anonydeath had sent to her Nepwatch. Nepgear then turned back to explain the plan once more, to straighten things up.
"Alright, remember the plan. We'll turn invisible with the invisible spell and sneak quietly through the guards. After that, we'll vent ourselves through the vent and head straight to Vert's office room to retrieve the Crystals. Once we're done, we'll sneak back through where we came before and, if the coast is clear, you'll open a portal to where Arfoire and Warechu are waiting with their boat and head home" Nepgear explained thoroughly.
"Aight, I getcha. So invisible, sneak, steal, escape, and head home. It's like we're crime partners in action, and I am all up for it!" Gehaburn said as she readied herself.
"Hmph, idiot Burn. We are already crime partners" Nepgear snorted.
"Hehehe" Gehaburn giggled as Nepgear acknowledged their partnership.
"Alright, the guards distanced a bit from the vent. Now's our chance!" Nepgear signaled a go-ahead gesture to Gehaburn.
Nepgear and Gehaburn quickly turned invisible and swiftly went to the vent through the guards who were unaware of their presence due to the invisible spell and their distance from the two. Nepgear was in the lead as she was the first to get inside the vent. Gehaburn followed suit behind Nepgear who was navigating through the NepWatch's GPS in Vert's fancy office room.
"I wonder, how many Crystals are we gonna take from Ultra Vert?" Gehaburn asked quietly while they ventured into the vent.
"Depends on the amount she stashed in her room. if it's a lot, we'll take some of it. But if it's a small amount, we'll take them all" Nepgear said quietly as well.
"Ain't we taking too much if it's like that? This world's Vert would be pissed y'know" Gehaburn told Nepgear.
"I'm aware, but this is to clear up something in my mind," Nepgear said.
"Wha?" Gehaburn raised her eyebrow in confusion.
"Think about it. Why are the only available CPU crystals that we can get ahold of is on Leanbox? Not including the one from Lowee's Mines since it is a new spawn point, btw. It's all coincidental" Nepgear explained further.
"...Now that you mentioned it, it is a bit off. Kinda like leaving one slice of a pudding out in the open. I mean, if I was the one who was eating a pudding I would just eat them all in one go and without anything left behind" Gehaburn shared her words.
"Unless you want to bait someone, at least that's what I'm guessing here," Nepgear said.
"Or that someone is being a bitch and just wanna make some mess while observingly having fun with it," Gehaburn added.
"Heh, if that was true, that someone would have sneezed somewhere like after you had said that," Nepgear said, then she immediately stopped crawling through the vents and looked down.
Gehaburn didn't stop in time and crashed her face onto Nepgear's butt.
"Owwiee….. Have we made it yet?" Gehaburn asked, guessing that they have arrived at their spot.
"Yeah, we're here. I'll open the ventilation gap slowly so we don't alert someone outside"
Nepgear picked up her handy tool kit in her inventory and started to open the vent hatch slowly and quietly. Once it is open, Nepgear gets out of the vent, with Gehaburn getting out from the vent as well. The two looked around the dark room with some lighting from outside of the window and the chandelier above them.
The room has the same description as Anonydeath informed them. Fancy interior settings that have a dominant color of the brown floor and ceiling, white gold-ish walls with some green segments between the wall and the ceiling. The furniture was fancy as well, ranging from the couches, wardrobes with a window installed, tables, and vases.
Gehaburn looked inside one of the wardrobes to see a collection of games, BL novels and magazines, and other stuff that Vert usually loves. Gehaburn tried to get a hold of them since she was interested, but she snapped herself out of her needs and focus on the task at hand.
"Now where would Vert keep something so valuable to her, aside from this stuff in the wardrobe's window of course," Gehaburn asked herself.
"In here"
Gehaburn looked to her left to see Nepgear rummaging through Vert's Office desk, then she skipped quietly to Nepgear's side. Nepgear found a button under the desk and quickly pressed it, only to reveal small button inputs for access.
"This should be easy enough," Nepgear said with confidence.
"Burn, could you check outside the door? See if the coasts are clear'' Nepgear asked Gehaburn for help as she started hacking down the inputs system.
"Will do!" Gehaburn quietly saluted, which is similar to a girl's scout salute.
Gehaburn went towards the exit door and opened it a little enough for her to peek left and right. When she peeked outside, there was no one in her sight. Then, she looked through the window behind Nepgear to the view outside. Their current distance from vert's office to the ground was not that far, good enough to escape in case someone spotted them.
Concluding that they were safe, Gehaburn went back to Nepgear to see if she was done with her thing.
"There! It's open"
As soon as Nepgear was done, a hidden part of the desk had opened on its right side. When they peeked inside, it consisted of several CPU Crystals that they were after. The two were overjoyed inside to be able to get them again, now Nepgear can go to the next step of her plan.
"Alright! Let's take 'em all" Gehaburn said enthusiastically with a quiet tone.
The two slowly pick the CPU Crystals one by one and do not drop them off onto the floor. If it does, it would make some noises and would attract other people.
"Good, 20 Crystals in total are in our possession," Nepgear said after she put the last one in her inventory.
"Nice! Though, what should we replace the crystals in its place?" Gehaburn asked.
"We'll figure it out later. For now, let's just put this little note that I have prepared here and compensate for these crystals later" Nepgear told her.
"And should I trust you with that, Thieves? How rude of you to barge into my office"
Nepgear and Gehaburn were shocked to hear another voice. They turned to look at the room's door to see a displeased Ultra Vert and a short girl wearing a bee-like design jumpsuit which is accompanied by star designs on the lower half and also on the sleeves.
The short girl has strawberry blonde hair with large red hair bobbles and cerulean blue eyes. The girl wears large red shoes and boxing cat paws gloves.
For Ultra Vert's, she looks the same as the Vert's Nepgear knew. Big boobs, dark blue eyes, and straight blonde hair. The difference between the Vert that Gear knew of is her attire.
Ultra Vert wears a green, revealing dress with black lining that runs down to her upper ankle known as the Wind Dress. The dress has a high slit, separating the dressing area into two cloths showing off Vert's legs. There is a black line that runs from below Vert's chest to near the bottom of the front cloth.
The back cloth is jagged and decorated with two light green outlines and x-markings. On her neck is a cloth decorated with a green X button and four green jewels. At the waist are two green buttons that hold two black straps that act as a belt, and a teal-colored sash. She wears black heels decorated with a green button, held with black straps that reach her upper ankle.
"A Black clothed girl wearing a hooded mask with big purple eye lenses accompanied with some white thundery detail and a split hooded girl with literal purple color all over her body…. You two must be the newly wanted people. What were your names again?" U!Vert asked as she pointed to one of them?
"It's Morea and Rogue. Are our names that hard to remember?" Gehaburn said.
"Yeah, a bit. Now…."
"Put those Crystals back to where they are from and come along quietly, Unless you want to do this the hard way" U!Vert said as she put out her Spear and threatened the two with it.
"Just one thing, how did you notice us?" Rogue asked.
"Um, while I walked along the hall to get some drink, I saw a purple head popping out from Bert's office. So I had to get Bert to see what was up. Oh and I'm Peashy or P-Ko as Neptuna usually calls me" Peashy explained and introduced herself.
"Hi, P-Ko!" Morea waved, then she got a hit on the head by Rogue.
"Why would you say 'Hi' so casually like that? And didn't I tell you to check outside" Rogue said with a serious face, which cannot be seen as she was covered by her mask.
"Aww come on, how was I supposed to notice this small girl?" Morea said in her defense.
"Hmm, fair point" Said Rogue.
"I'm so proud of you my little Peashy!" U!Vert hugged Peashy before she continued to be serious.
"EHEM. Now, what's your answer?" U!Vert asked one more time.
"Sorry, Lady. But we gotta…..Break out" Rogue said, with the "Break out" being reinforced, which is a signal that Morea understood immediately.
Morea and Rogue crashed through the window behind them and fell from U!Vert's Office. As they were falling, they saw several guards.
Rogue directed her left hand to the floor where the Guards stood and released a blue Freeze Arrow from her left R2 Wrist Gloves. Once the arrow hits the floor, it traps and freezes all the guards that come in contact with the floor, making them unable to escape and preventing them from escaping. Rogue and Morea landed on the floor and skied on it, passing through the guards, until they reached the road and began to run away from the office.
"How reckless! They broke my window and are getting away!"
U!Vert exclaimed before she turned into her Goddess form. She now has a purple eye with power logo pupils, green-colored ponytail hair, and a Black One-Piece Bodysuit which revealed a lot of her breast and stomach, even more than Hyper Vert's bodysuit.
"Let's go after them, Peashy!" U!Vert called out to Peashy.
"Mhm!" Peashy nodded, then she transformed into her Goddess form.
Her hair color becomes full bright blonde and grows in length, making it past her shoulders. She not only becomes taller but her boobs also grow significantly in size bigger than Verts. She now wears a white, skintight bodysuit with matching thigh-high boots and a choker, all three decorated with traces of black, red, and yellow. Her eyes become light Orange with a white power logo and on her arms were a pair of giant white bracers with yellowy-orange claws.
'...I still can't get over how big Yellow Heart's boobs are compared to mine…..' U!Vert sobs in her mind.
U!Green Heart and Yellow Heart flew out of the office to pursue the two thieves. When Yellow Heart noticed the frozen guards, she took two heaters from the basilicom and put them on the ice.
"Sorry guys, but we need to hurry before they escape!" Yellow Heart apologizes before she follows U!Green Heart who was ahead of her.
All the guards sighed inside as the Heaters worked slowly in defrosting them.
'This…. will take a long time' Thought one of the guards.
Back to Morea and Rogue. The two were running on the road, heading to where Arfoire's boat was placed in waiting. Morea noticed that there are two Goddesses whose energy is closing in on them. She turned back to see a U!Green Heart and a Yellow Goddess getting closer to the two.
"That previous Bee kid was a CPU?" Morea exclaimed.
"Eh, we got Rom and Ram's case, so It's normal. But never mind that! We need a getaway ride to get them off our tail" Rogue said.
"OH! How about that Motorbike?"
Rogue looked on to where Morea pointed to see a green-shirted blue-jeaned guy eating a hamburger on the side bench with his purple motorbike parked near him.
"Yeah, that suffices enough!" Rogue said without hesitation to take the bike.
They headed to the Motorbike and quickly hop on it, with Rogue handling the handle and Morea on the back. This made the guy on the bench angry and was about to get them off his bike, but Rogue threw a lot of Credits from her savings and stunned the guy in place.
"There, take it," Rogue said before she drove off, with U!Green Heart and Yellow Heart tailing her.
The guy looked down and put the credits into his possession. He counted all of them and was really happy about the money, even though his bike was stolen.
"Oh, man! This is too much, even more than how much my bike AND my monthly pay! I'M FREAKING RICH!" The Guy yelled in happiness.
Meanwhile, Rogue was speeding on the road and through the traffic trying to escape U!Green Heart and Yellow Heart. But the motorbike's speed wasn't fast enough compared to the Goddesses flight speed. After driving for a while, she got an idea of how to deal with them.
"Take the handle, Morea! I'll try to get them off our tail with my UB Machine Guns" Said Rogue to Morea who was sitting on the back.
"Right, I'll handle it! Pun intended by the way" Morea giggled
Morea closed her eyes and used her powers to convert herself to the Motorbike. In a blink, Morea's body had combined with the Motorbike, But because the Motorbike is already Purple colored, the only thing that changed is the headlights color and cracked N-shaped earrings attached to both ends of the Motorbikes handle. The lights had turned from bright white to bright purple, a sign that Morea is in full control of the bike.
Or more accurately, she has become a motorbike.
"Go ahead and do your thing! I'll keep on driving myself, or as I call it, the Moreabike!" Morea said from the bike's head.
Rogue nodded and took out two UB Machine Guns from her inventory with both of her hands. She set it to stun mode so she doesn't kill the Goddesses first. Then, Rogue turned her whole body back so she could focus on the U!Green Heart and Yellow Heart who were still on their backs. Moreabike put up a magical seat belt so Rogue can have her balance checked on the Bike as she shoots.
"Sorry, Vert. This won't kill you but it is not gonna tickle either"
Rogue spoke before she began to shoot the Goddesses with her Guns. U!Green Heart and Yellow Heart, aware of the guns, dodged the bullets before they hit their bodies. They kept dodging the bullets quite well for a while, though they began to exhaust themselves due to the bullets being faster than they anticipated. Lucky for them, Rogue only aimed their wings to make them stop.
"Rogue! Jump!"
Rogue looked to Moreabike's front. Two trucks were in their way and there was no other road to go through, but she quickly understood why Morea said "Jump".
Moreabike sped up herself, getting them closer to the trucks faster. When they get close to it, Rogue jumped from her Motorbike and ran above the Truck. Morea, after Rogue jumped, slid herself under the trucks. When they reach the other end of the Truck, Moreabike gets herself back up and rides in her normal position.
"I'll blow you away from that truck! SLYHET SPEAR!" U!Green Heart said, then she cast a spell which summoned a giant vine-like spear to knock back Rogue.
Rogue jumped from the Trucks despite the oncoming attack, but she was able to dodge it with ease and landed safely on the Moreabike. Yellow Heart was amazed by their stunt, which infuriates U!Green Heart more because they are still getting away and without any signs of stopping.
"MOUU! I'm tired of this chasing game!" U!Green Heart yelled.
U!Green Heart pushes her flight speed limits and gets close to Rogue while dodging her bullets.
"Wait, Bert!" Yellow Heart shouted in her worries for U!Green Heart.
U!Green Heart readied her spear and was about to strike the tires so they could fall off the road.
"I got you now!" U!Green Heart said before striking.
"I don't think so"
Rogue quickly changed one of her UB Machine Gun to her Green V Spear and blocked the incoming attack from U!Green Heart, which was blocked successfully without any side backs. Then, Rogue pulled the Green Goddess close to her with her spear and charged her Nep-Power Boots to kick her with the SP kick attack.
"Dark Conceal Kick!"
Rogue kicked U!Green Heart with the Dark-Lilac aura boots right at her Gut. U!Green Heart was damaged and thrown off somewhere from the Moreabike due to the Kick's pressure and its power.
"AAAGGH!" U!Green Heart groaned in pain.
"BERT!"
Yellow Heart was really worried about her condition and went off from Rogue and Morea's tail to where U!Green Heart was thrown off by the kick. Rogue sighed in relief as they weren't chased anymore, but she also regret hurting this dimension's Green Heart. But it was inevitable since she doesn't want them to know her and what she had done.
Rogue get herself together and focused on getting out of Leanbox.
"Morea, park us somewhere empty and safe. Then open a portal for us to Arfoire's Boat" Rogue said while she holds the bike's handle.
"Wouldn't it be easier to just teleport us back to her house immediately?" Moreabike said.
"And exhaust yourself more due to the teleporting range from here to there? Fat chance" Rogue said.
"M'kay. We already agreed to not abuse my portal skill too much anyway, so I was just kidding, Ehe" Moreabike giggled.
Moreabike eventually found a safe spot for them to lay low, which is in one of the back alleys. Once they were in there, Morea opened a portal and went inside to where Arfoire's Boat rests.
(-)
00:00, Midnight, Leanbox's shore.
Arfoire was waiting for Nepgear and Gehaburn on her black boat with some red lines across it. She began to worry more as they are not here yet, especially knowing that this should be easy after all that talk and planning back at home.
Warechu, on the boat, was getting sleeper by the minute, as seen from him slumping on the boat's front.
"Grannyyyyy, Why am I in this? I wanna get some shut-eye…..Yawn…." Warechu yawned.
It
"That's what you get from drinking something that you shouldn't have, so you need to be watched from now on. Moreover, this will be a good training session for you to deliver my packages on the sea" Arfoire said.
"You're gonna expand your business overseas?" Warechu said.
"Well yeah, that's obvious. And don't say what for. You know my answer, right?" Arfoire told him.
"Greedy much" Warechu commented, knowing that Arfoire got eyes for money.
Just then, a purple portal appeared near Arfoire. Nepgear, still wearing her mask, came out from it with a Purple Motorbike with purple lenses and N-shaped earrings on the handle.
"Yo, Prezzy! We're back!" Gehaburn said whilst in her bike form.
"Is that Burn? inside the bike?" Arfoire asked with a gaped mouth due to the shock.
"More like, she's the bike itself" Warechu added, with a gaped mouth.
"I'll explain later, for now, we should bail from this land right now. Who knows when Ultra Green Heart and Yellow Heart catch up to us" Nepgear said.
"No wonder you're late. Alright, hop on board" Arfoire said.
Nepgear decided to wear his mask for a bit longer and walked fast to the boat to get on it. Gehaburn turned herself back to her purple human form with the split hoodie before hopping on board the boat. After everyone is accounted for, Arfoire told Warechu to start the boat so they can get back home. Warechu did as he told and let Arfoire ride the boat, away from Leanbox and straight to her House.
Nepgear and Gehaburn sat on the boat's deck to rest themselves, accompanied by Warechu who gave them his green-colored sodas. Nepgear drank the soda slowly to savor the taste, with her mask opened up to her mouth. Gehaburn chug it down fast as she was really thirsty from the escape.
"Ahhhhh~~, thanks for the jizz!" Gehaburn thanked Warechu.
"No prob…..By the way, about my situation. What's going to happen to my body" Warechu asked Nepgear.
"Ah, don't worry about it. My Nep-Watch just finished analyzing your body and it seems that the CME Injection had prevented you from turning into a mindless beast" Nepgear said as she showed Warechu the data in her watch.
"But what's this saying 'Evolution' on top right?" Warechu pointed out.
"I checked it further and it's like your next step in getting stronger, though it's only a 50/50 chance. Either you turn into something strong or just being plain as you are now" Nepgear added.
"Phew, well, whatever. As long as I'm still me" Warechu said while he opened his soda can to drink.
Sadly, due to the sudden turn of the boat, he flew from his position and was unconscious out by the edge of the boat with his soda spilled. Nepgear and Gehaburn pitied Warechu.
"Never thought you would do something mischievous again. I guess you haven't learned anything from my punishments….. Arfoire" Said a chilling sadistic voice.
Nepgear and Gehaburn look to their right to see three goddesses, which are Ultra White Heart, Ultra Black Heart, and Iris Heart floating above the sea. In their alertness, they backed away from their distance and gets close to Arfoire who was standing still.
"Shit, you're here with the others….." Said Arfoire to Iris Heart with a tone of fear towards her.
"YOU BITCH! You're who beat my ass back at the cave! Why didn't I think you were cahoots with that granny bitch!" U!White Heart said angrily at Rogue.
Nepgear sighed inside as she was glad that she still wore her mask, the same couldn't be said for Gehaburn. Luckily, the three Goddesses didn't recognize Gehaburn even without her mask.
"I didn't think you would meet us here in the middle of the night AND on the sea. Tell me, who gave you the tip?" Rogue asks the Goddesses, it was too much of a coincidence for them to meet three Goddesses in the middle of the sea this late.
"Since all of you are busted, I suppose telling you who gave it away wouldn't hurt" Said U!Black Heart with a prideful tone
"Though it was really subtle, Anonydeath hinted something about an event here. We were skeptical about his stuff, especially having experienced it firsthand, but I was convinced to believe in his hint due to our circumstances. Now here we are" U! Black Heart explained.
'Tch, indirect info. the Hex didn't count that as getting in our way since the Goddesses are the ones in our way. Not him' Rogue said inside as she didn't expect this to happen.
"Finally!...Hah... We caught up to you…..Hah….. Thieves!" U!Green Heart said while panting as she appeared behind the boat with Yellow Heart accompanying her.
Now, Rogue and the others are in a tight situation because they are being blocked from both sides. Rogue may be able to try and attack the five Goddesses at once, but she couldn't risk Arfoire and Warechu, especially since they are in the middle of the sea.
"If you would be so kind as to give up and cough up everything you know. I promise that I would….Lower my punishments, just a tiny bit" Iris Heart said with a menacing tone while she whip up her black whip.
"Gulp….." Arfoire gulped in fear, especially after she experienced Iris Heart's punishment long before meeting Rogue.
"Oh no, her dominatrix side is acting up again!" U!Black Heart said while she shivered a bit.
"S-Sadie's is scary if she's like that…" Yellow Heart added
"If I were you, I would give up right this instant! No seriously, she's not who you want to mess with, take it from me" U!White Heart said while toughening herself in front of Rogue and her gang.
The five Goddesses slowly get close with their weapons ready. They were wary of what Rogue and her gang would do next.
On the other hand, Rogue had already planned a way to get out of this predicament without endangering Arfoire and Warechu.
'Morea, on my mark, get ready to throw the smoke bombs fast. Arfoire, get it together! We can get out of this, so get ready to punch the engine's speed to the max!' Rogue said through her telepathy.
'I'm ready!' Morea acknowledged.
'I'm as well! I can't just be traumatized the whole time, especially against her!' Arfoire is determined to fight her fear against Iris Heart and the others.
Rogue, Morea, and Arfoire readied themselves. Iris Heart noticed this and guessed that they aren't going down without a fight. Her smile grows ever more sadistic, particularly against someone tough like Rogue. Iris Heart and the other Ultra Goddesses dashed towards Rogue, Morea, and Arfoire stood while ignoring Warechu who was still unconscious.
"MOREA, NOW!" Rogue shouted, which made the Goddesses caught off guard for a fleeting moment.
Which was enough for Rogue and the others to act.
Morea and Rogue quickly used their black-colored smoke bombs by slamming them on the boat. As a result, the whole area around the boat was covered with grey smoke. The Goddesses were affected by this sudden smoke as they couldn't see anything because their vision was blocked by the smoke. It didn't stop there, Iris Heart and the others felt a bit weak. That is because the smoke has a short weakening effect on their enemies.
"What the fuck is this shit?! Cough, It's like it came out from a ninja show, Grrrr!" U!White Heart growled while she weakly thrashed her axe randomly in the smoke.
"Take it to the max, Arfoire!" Rogue ordered Arfoire.
"You don't need to tell me twice!"
Arfoire drove the boat at the highest speed, then they were about to pass through Iris Heart and U!Black Heart. For a short moment, Iris Heart gets close eye-to-eye with Rogue, though Rogue was still wearing a mask. For some reason, Iris Heart felt a sense of familiarity with the masked girl, as if she knew who it was. The boat had gotten out from the smoke and kept onward at its current speed so Arfoire and the others could get off the Goddesses radar.
"...What's this feeling?" Iris Heart thought for a second about the strange feeling inside her, not minding the smoke around her.
"I can't see anything here, cough! We need something to clear off this smoke" U!Black Heart said.
"Aha! I found the way!" U!Green Heart thought of a way.
U!Green Heart used her spear to make a green whirlwind by spinning it with great speed. Due to the strong wind, the Smoke was scattered up from the area and vanished. The Goddesses felt relieved as they were able to see their surroundings.
"Couldn't you have done that sooner, Thunder Tits?" U!White Heart exclaimed.
"S-shut up! You didn't help anyway with your rash thrashings!" U!Green Heart countered.
"Stop it! No fighting between us!" Yellow Heart yelled.
"Yeah, what Peashy said. If we keep squabbling, they'll get away completely. Call it off and let's go!" U!Black Heart reminded them.
U!Green Heart and U!White Heart cooled down and nodded in agreement. After that, they all went towards the direction where the boat's trail had left, as seen from the sea's flow.
U!Black Heart noticed that Iris Heart was floating still with an uneasy look. In her concern for Sadie, U!Black Heart stopped a bit and called out to her while the rest were on the chase.
"Sadie, come on!" U!Black Heart called out Iris Heart with her nickname.
"W-wha? Oh…Right!" Sadie gets herself back to her senses and tightens her whip as she catches up to the others.
U!Black Heart wondered why Sadie was stale at that moment, but she shrugs it off and began to chase Rogue and her gang.
Meanwhile, back on Arfoire's boat.
Arfoire kept on driving the boat to its maximum speed to escape from Sadie and the other Goddesses. Rogue was standing by and overseeing the back of the boat to make sure they have escaped them fully. Gehaburn was tasked to the lookout at the front of the boat if there was any other obstacle while also trying her best to wake Warechu up who was still unconscious.
Rogue saw Sadie and the others who were about to catch up to the boat, as she had expected beforehand. She thinks for a while about how to get out of this situation without putting harm to the Goddesses and Arfoire and Warechu.
'Hmm, the boat's speed could be ramped up with Morea's possessing gimmick. But it might cause some fault to the engine if she breaks the boat's limits. Using the smoke bombs would render it useless right now, given the open sea area and the Goddesses can anticipate the bombs. I could use my UB Machine Guns, but there's too much to deal with…' Rogue thought a lot inside.
"Umm, Rogue…..What should we do about that horde?" Said Arfoire while she kept on driving the boat.
"A what?" Rogue eyes widened in shock because of the info, though her eyes couldn't be seen because of the mask.
Arfoire pointed in the Southwest direction. Once Rogue turned in the direction, she saw a horde of Black Pegasus with the usual red eyes, but their wings were that of a dragon and their red eyes were similar to an insect's eyes.
"Holy Shit! First the Goddesses, now a Black Pegasus with buggy eyes and dragon wings?! What a thrill night huh!" Morea commented.
"Oh you say that, but wait until they'll get here. The thrill goes to them and we get death and torture!" Arfoire said.
"Chill out, Prezzy. With them in the picture, we can escape out of the sea. Am I right, Rogue?" Morea said with a grin.
"Definitely. Arfoire, head over to the direction of the Black Pegasuses. We're about to do something crazy" Rogue told her first order for her plan, which made Arfoire speechless for a bit.
"...Aren't we already crazy? Never mind" Arfoire smiled for the thrill they are about to experience.
Arfoire turned her boat in the Southwest direction. Sadie and the others followed suit, which leads them to see a horde of Black Pegasuses with dragon wings and big eyes. They all stop chasing the boat and observe the view that is a bit close to them.
"UWAAAHHH! Weird Pegasus gang incoming!" Yellow Heart yelled in her shock.
"I knew it! That masked bitch is the one who made all the mess we've been through! She led us to a fucking trap!" U!White Heart said while she put up a battling stance.
"But why is it not coming after us?" U!Black Heart asked in her confusion due to the movements of the horde.
Sadie wondered that as well, especially since the Horde's hostility is not directed at her or anybody around her. In realization, she looked at Rogue's boat to confirm her thoughts on this matter.
"That's because they are not after us. They're aiming for that boat!" Sadie said with her eyes wide open.
They all saw the boat charging towards the horde, and the horde responded with a loud shriek and flew fast at the boat. Sadie and the others were confused about which ones are their enemies.
"My, my, this is a bit confusing. So who's our enemy again?" U!Green Heart asked, though everyone was also confused as her.
U!Green Heart also noticed something at the front part of the boat.
"Is that….A charging Blasters?" U!Green Heart said while she squinted her eyes.
A couple of minutes at the boat before U!Green Heart asked what she saw.
Rogue had crouched on the front part of the boat, trying to set up something. Morea set up a protective barrier that rejects any outside attacks. Arfoire on the other hand was confused about what's her plan, particularly since she was only told to drive forward in the horde direction. But soon she was back to trembling as the Black Pegasus horde was getting closer.
"You're done with whatever you're doing?! Best do it now if it's so!" Arfoire shouted.
"Then time make a banger explosion," Rogue said as she was done doing her thing.
Rogue had done setting up her two UB Machine guns into one big RPG, though the exterior design is the same as Black Sister's rifle. Rogue held the RPG to her left arm and her AllRon Gunblade, in its Blaster mode, to her right arm. She focused her aim on the middle to make sure she hits all or most of the horde.
"Rogue, targeting…..AND FIRING!"
After Rogue yelled, she launched one shot from the black RPG, going through the horde. Rogue waited for a few seconds, then she blasts a giant beam from her AllRon Gunblade Blaster form right at the RPG shell, which went through the horde.
As the giant beam came into contact with the RPG shell, it created a massive chain explosion that can be seen from anywhere due to how big the explosion was. The Goddesses were thrown off from the area due to the explosion's wind pressure. Eventually, Sadie and the others balanced their wings and floated still to look at the aftermath of the explosion, which was a dense black smoke.
"Is everyone alright?!" Sadie said in her utmost worry.
"A bit dizzy, but we're okay!" Yellow Heart reassured that she and the others are okay, though her eyes were spinning in spirals.
"Thank goodness…" Said Sadie in relief.
"But that wave was really strong, it even made us easily thrown off like that" U!Green Heart said, thinking about how immense the blow was.
"Yeah…. I hate to say it but we gotta call off the chase. I'm worried about my country" U!White Heart suggested, given that the blow might have affected each of their countries.
"Mhm. For time being, we'll need to attend to the citizens first, then we'll decide what to do tomorrow" U!Black Heart said.
They all nodded in agreement and flew back to their respective countries to check on the citizens and ensure them that everything is alright while also anticipating another attack that may come to their homes. U!White Heart went to Lowee, U!Black Heart to Lastation, U!Green Heart to Leanbox with Yellow Heart accompanying her, and lastly Sadie or Iris Heart to Planeptune.
But before she went far from the smoke, Sadie looked behind her one more time at the massive smoke with an unknown feeling inside her. After a short moment of silence, Sadie flew off from the area and went back to Planeptune.
Meanwhile, Inside the thick black smoke.
The boat had stopped driving for it to cool down its engines. Nepgear sat down on the boat while tending to her muscles that sustained heavy recoil from both the UB RPG and her AllRon Gunblade. Arfoire and Gehaburn used some of their healing skills to fasten the recovery. Unlike injuries or external damage that can be healed with healing items and such, internal damage is far more complex, even more so if the damage is deep.
"You really pushed yourself for us…" Arfoire felt bad for Nepgear.
"Not like the first time I pushed myself like this. If I didn't withstand the recoil onto myself, your boat would've been destroyed and we would have no means to get back to our homes" Nepgear told Arfoire.
"I would say otherwise, but you would save my portal ability for more crucial things than this, ain't ya?" Said Gehaburn.
"Heh, Yeah. Plus, that crucial thing will happen on our farm sooner than I anticipated" Nepgear added.
"Wait what? What's gonna happen to my precious farm?!" Arfoire asks as she trembles Nepgear violently, which was stopped by Gehaburn.
"O-oh, sorry!" Arfoire apologized quickly.
"No need. As for your concerns, you'll understand soon enough once we get back" Nepgear said.
"...I'll expect some good answers then. I'll start the boat's engine" Arfoire let go of her healing and went over to the Boat's control panel to start it up while checking up on it if there were any faults in the engine
Unknown to them, a single Black Pegasus slowly crawled out from the sea after having taken some damage from the explosion. But despite its injuries, it only has one goal in mind.
To destroy its prey.
"!" Nepgear saw the Black Pegasus who was about to pounce on them,
Nepgear wasn't able to react in time due to her internal injuries. The only thing she could do now is to alert Gehaburn.
"Burn, look out!" Nepgear shouted.
Gehaburn turned back, only to see the Black Pegasus that had gone closer to her due to its speed.
It was about to munch Gehaburn head but was prevented by a green soda can that was thrown with an immense force. The can hit its head really hard to the point it was propelled off the boat before it vanished in thin air.
Gehaburn was surprised that it died from a can.
"...Wauw" Gehaburn blurted to her amazement, then she looked to her left.
The one who launched the can was none other than Warechu. He had just woken up from his sudden collapse.
"Man…..I need a raise for this shit" Warechu said while he pants, it seems that he put a lot of force when he used his can to kill the Black Pegasus.
"Don't worry, Rat. You'll get a raise after all of this" Arfoire said, she was relieved that Gehaburn was okay thanks to Warechu's attack.
"Eyyyyyy! Thanks a lot, Chu!" Gehaburn hugged Warechu.
"Ehehehe, boobies~~" Warechu murmured in delight over Gehaburn's purple boobs.
Nepgear and Arfoire sighed at the two. Then, the boat had finally started itself up and began to sail towards Arfoire's house.

Imagine, Grand Neptunia Auto: The Heist.
So if y'all know the NepBike from Superdimension Neptunia Vs Sega Hard Girl game, the one with Neptune has become IF's bike. Think of a MoreaBike like that but with cracked N Neptunia Logo earrings on both handles and purple LED lenses for the Motor's lighting.
Also, yes, Black Sister's Rifle had turned into an RPG (Developed by none other than Kurome).
