Author's Note
Hey, guys! It's been awhile, huh? Sorry for taking so long. Y'know how it is as a college student. Just so you know, I ain't waiting my time partying around like some party kids, I actually prioritize my studies and those party people should really do the same. Otherwise they'd come asking for help and you'd have to give them an entire rundown of the lecture your professor gave to your class for a whole two hours. Like hell I'm doing that for them! That's why they shouldn't have gone partying and coming to me last minute on a Sunday night when I was sleeping. It was 3 AM in the morning! Like I'd give them an entire class lecture on our project at 3 AM in the morning! Thanks to them, I woke my roommates up and I felt super guilty. Why the hell did they think I'd be up so late last night? And what were they doing partying til 3 AM in the morning? What the heck?!
Sighs. Anyway... probably should stop ranting. Now onto the story! In case you lovely readers have forgotten or not realized yet, my story is based off Hyperdimension, not super dimension. So all the characters from the franchise are from the Hyperdimension. The only thing superdimsion based in my story is the placement of the nations, so in other words, the terrain. Thought I'd just get that cleared up since some of you were confused.
So that's all for the author's note. Enjoy the chapter!

Rei walked to the center of the city park. Looking around and seeing no one around, she sighed in relief as her body began to emit a dark aura. She grinned as she looked at her hands and the glowing energy coming from them.
"You're really gonna do it?"
"Of course, Croire," Rei said. "It's time I show White Heart who's boss. I won't let her push me around any longer. She's always the one getting in the way of my plans."
"Oh this will be so fun to watch!" Croire's voice was so full of glee.
"Tch, all you care about is watching from the sidelines. Why can't you be useful?" Rei gave the dark-skinned fairy an annoyed look.
Croire shrugged at her annoyance. "Hey. I only record history within the dimensions, I can't really intervene with situations like this. What you're doing is a rebellion, and it's being recorded in my book."
"Is that so? Then that means I will go down in history for getting rid of those CPUs," Rei let out a chuckle, "Starting with the most troublesome goddess of all, White Heart! Hahahahahaha!"
"You do know she's still back in Planeptune, right?" Croire reminded her. "Not like you can get rid of her from here."
"I can be patient. And when she returns," Rei chuckled darkly, she'll be in for a big surprise." Rei wickedly grinned as light surrounded her, giving her a surge of power that went far beyond a normal human.

Noire was backed up against a corner. There was just no way out of her current situation. Her enemies were too strong, too persistent, too stubborn to give up with what they were doing. She knew this was a fight she couldn't win, but she wouldn't give up until the very end. "I won't... You can't make me... I won't go through with it!"
Blanc only rolled her eyes. "Stop being a coward, Noire."
"Yes, I agree with Blanc," voiced Vert.
"Tch, and here I thought you changed, Vert," Noire growled.
Vert shrugged, which caused her breasts to bounce around. "I will do what I see is right."
"Come on, Noire. There is nowhere else to run," Blanc said, clearly fed up with this whole thing.
"No! I won't!" Noire snapped.
Uni sighed as she watched from behind Vert and Blanc who had their hands out as if to catch a runaway rabbit. "Sis, you're gonna have to do this sooner or later."
"I choose later!" Noire yelled.
"But you said that this morning," said Ram with a cheeky grin on her face. "So now is technically later."
"We've put up with enough of your stalling, Noire. It's time to call Neptune," Vert stated.
"She might be busy! Or maybe she's asleep," Noire voiced, trying to come up with an excuse.
"B-But you won't know unless you try," said Rom.
"Rom is right, sis. You should try calling her," Uni insisted.
Histoire flew in front of Noire and softly said, "Noire, I won't call Neptune if you really don't want to talk to her, but are you sure? Do you really want to prolong this? I thought you said you wanted to make up with Neptune?"
Noire looked down and whimpered, "I-I do, but… I'm afraid. What if she doesn't want to talk to me? What if she's still mad at me, that she doesn't want to see me ever again?"
Histoire shook her head. "I can safely say that Neptune would not want that. She asked me to contact her if you ever feel like talking to her. She deeply regrets what happened yesterday and wants to apologize."
"I should be the one apologizing…"
"So? Would you like me to connect you to Neptune?" Histoire asked.
Noire looked at Histoire's eyes and then glanced at her friends who were all nodding their heads. She took a deep breath and gave in. "O-Okay… I'll… I'll talk to her…"
Vert smiled, "That's the Noire we all know and love."
"You can do this, sis!" Uni cheered.
Noire sighed, "Let's just get this over with."
"Yay! We get to see Nepgear too!" Ram shouted.
"Actually, I'd like to speak with her alone in private."
Vert nodded, "We completely understand."
"I'll take Rom and Ram out," said Blanc.
"What?! But I want to see Nepgear!" whined Ram. "I need to tell her to bring back lots and lots of yummy candy!"
Blanc glared at her younger sister, "Ram…"
Ram took a step back and grumbled, "Fine…"
"I'll go with Rom and Ram," said Uni. "We can go visit that arcade again."
"Oh! Could it be the new arcade that opened recently in Planeptune?" Vert questioned.
"Y-Yes, it is," Rom confirmed. She was a bit freaked out when Vert turned to look at her with sparkling blue eyes. "Ummm… would you like to come along?"
"Would I?! Of course I would!" Vert took hold of Rom's hands and said, "Thanks for inviting me."
Noire and Blanc rolled their eyes, knowing that Vert will be there for a very long time. Once her gamer switch was turned on, it was impossible to get her to focus on anything else. At least for a few hours.
"We'll come back in a few hours to see how it went," Blanc said to Noire.
"You guys have fun."
Blanc and Vert left with the candidates, leaving Noire and Histoire alone in the living room. The black-haired CPU moved away from the corner and sat down on the couch that was facing the large TV.
"Would you like me to leave once I connect you to Neptune?" Histoire questioned.
"If you could?"
Histoire smiled and nodded. "Of course. I'll be in Neptune's office if you need me. Now, let me call the Ultradimension's version of me."
Noire gave the fairy a puzzled look. "Ultradimension?"
"Oh, yes. It's the name I found in my book for the other dimension."
Noire tested the name. "Ultradimension… has a nice ring to it."
"Yes, and our dimension is called Hyperdimension. I'm a bit bothered that I haven't found this sooner." Histoire had an embarrassed look on her face as she continued to speak. "I hate to admit this, but it seems like I'm similar to Neptune when it comes to reading long books. I need to stop skimming such important information."
Noire giggled, "At least you go back to re-read the stuff."
"True. Now let me send the signal." Histoire pulled up her holographic screen and it started to ring. It took a minute before the line was answered. Histoire asked the smaller version of her to put Neptune on the line.
Noire patiently waited on the couch as her hands started to become sweaty. She was getting nervous and her heart was pounding faster than usual. She was about to run out of the living room when Histoire turned to look at her.
"I'm connecting the call to your screen now."
"Huh? Wait!"
Her screen suddenly popped out and it showed Neptune's cheery face. "Hey Noire! What's up?"
She was shocked to see Neptune so happy. "Um… hi…" She was not ready for this. "H-How… are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm doing just peach- ack!" Neptune suddenly disappeared from the screen and a four year old blonde baby appeared.
"Neptuna!"
"Peashy no!"
Noire recognized that as Nepgear's voice. And sure enough, it was. Nepgear appeared on the screen, picking up the baby, who was laughing and kicking its limbs. Really, Noire thought the baby was absolutely adorable. "Oh goodness, sis, are you alright?"
"Yep, just fine. I'm gonna talk to Noire in the other room."
The screen suddenly shifted and showed the hallway and then the room. Noire heard a door close and Neptune's face reappeared. This was when Noire also noticed that Histoire was gone.
"Noire? Are you still there?"
"Yeah!" Noire placed her attention back onto her screen. "Yeah, I'm still here…"
There was an awkward silence between the two girls and Noire glanced away, unable to look at her girlfriend. She didn't know what to say or how to start the conversation. She felt like there was a stone in her throat, preventing her from saying anything. She really needed to say something, anything, so long as it ended this annoying silence.
Taking a deep breath she looked back to Neptune's face, she found the other girl just staring at her and it was kind of creeping her out. "I-Is there something on my face? You're staring…"
Neptune flinched and her face turned bright red. "Oh, sorry! I didn't realize I was staring. I just haven't seen you in awhile, not since… our fight…"
Noire rubbed the back of her neck. This was a good chance to start her apology. "Yeah… I'm uh… sorry… for what I said… it was rude of me…"
"It's okay! It happened a year ago. I pretty much forgotten about it by now." Neptune let out a nervous chuckled as she scratched her cheek.
"Oh, right." Noire frowned as she looked away, "A year has passed for you, huh? For me it was just yesterday. Sorry if I brought back bad memories…"
Neptune shook her head rapidly and waved her hands in front of the screen. "No! You don't need to be sorry! In fact, I should be apologizing. I'm pretty sure I said some hurtful things…"
Noire forced out a smile and said, "No, I forgive you. I should probably go now. You looked kind of busy…"
"Noire, wait!" Neptune shouted, before a Noire could end the call. Noire didn't know why, but there was something in the tone of Neptune's voice that had her pause. "I want to say I love you…"
Noire blushed, but she didn't look at Neptune. Just hearing those words brought pain to her heart. "Yeah… sure… I'll end the call now."
"Noire! Please, I love you, so please! Look at me," Neptune pleaded.
Noire shakingly sighed and forced herself to face Neptune. She saw that the other goddess carried a frown on her face and a few tears in her purple eyes. It stung her heart to see Neptune sad.
"I miss you, Noire, I really do miss you."
"I… miss you too…"
"I promise I'll be home real soon. Nepgear and I are collecting lots of shares, so please, wait for me."
"I know…"
"You know you mean the world to me, right?" Neptune questioned.
Noire blushed, "I-I know…"
"Then you know that I could never hate you, right?"
Noire didn't reply. She kept quiet.
Neptune furrowed her eyebrows in worry. "Noire?"
"I… I know…"
"Then why are you crying?"
Noire was confused. She was crying? Noire reached her hand up to touch her cheek and felt tears. She quickly wiped them away and sniffled. "Sorry, there was something in my eyes."
Neptune lightly chuckled, "I may be dense, but I'm not stupid."
Noire slightly smiled, "You're not dense…"
"Yes I am. I didn't realize how you were feeling and then I said some things I could never take back, but I can still apologize. I swore that I would make it up to you once I get back."
"If you get back…"
"Noire… I wish I could turn back time and take everything back, but life just sucks like that."
Noire giggled, "Yeah… I also said some things I would like to take back. I love you, Neptune. I'm sorry you're dating someone as selfish as me."
"No, Noire! You're not selfish! You're not selfish at all, I'm the one that's being selfish!" Neptune yelled. "I was the one that wanted to stay! I was the one that wasn't thinking about you…"
"It's okay, Neptune. I understand there's more important things than me… I'm okay with being second…"
"You are important, Noire. Don't think that I don't prioritize you."
Noire took a deep breath and organized her thoughts. She was feeling a bit bitter, but she tried not to make it show. "I-I don't want to lose you, Neptune. So… I won't ask for anything. Stay in the Ultradimension for as long you like. I can manage things here in the Hyperdimension."
Neptune gave Noire a puzzled look. "Ultradimension? Hyperdimension? What are you talking about?"
Noire chuckled, thinking the expression Neptune made was adorable. "Histoire told me the names of the dimensions we are in. You're in the Ultradimension and I'm in the Hyperdimension."
"Woah! The names sound so cool! It's like they came from a game."
Noire giggled, liking the sparkle in Neptune's eyes. "So, we're good? You're… not mad?"
"Of course not!" Neptune voiced. "Even if I do get mad, I could never stay mad at you for long."
Noire smiled, "Thanks, Neptune. Sorry if I called you at a bad time. I should… go…"
Neptune's eyes quickly lost their sparkle when Noire said she was leaving. "But you just called. I wanted to talk to you more." There was a look of longing that had Noire wishing that she hadn't just said that.
"You have the other Noire. She looks and sounds like me."
"But she's not you."
"Isn't she close enough?" Noire didn't want Neptune to answer that. She was afraid to hear it.
"I hope you're still not thinking that I'm replacing you with her. While she is a Noire, she's not my Noire. She can never be you. You're the only one that I'm sexually attracted to."
Noire blushed bright red. "You don't have to say it like that!"
Neptune grinned, likening the redness on Noire's cheeks. "But it's true! She doesn't make my heart race like you do. Honestly, I've been so pent up lately! You have no idea how many times I masterbated while thinking about you."
"Neptune!" Noire screeched as her face flushed bright red.
"What? It's the truth! I haven't touched you in seven years! A girl gotta let out some steam, y'know?" Neptune said as her cheeks were dusted pink.
Noire covered her face in embarrassment, but hearing that Neptune thought about her while doing those activities made her happy. Though, it was still very embarrassing to hear it.
"I know you're worried about me and I know you're scared about me too, but you can relax. I don't plan on leaving you, ever. It would break my heart if you ever think that I'd abandoned or replaced you."
Noire huffed, "Yeah, sorry. I just have so many insecurities that it's messing up our relationship. I'm sorry for being a jealous and clingy girlfriend…"
"Hey, there's no need to apologize for that. People get jealous all the time. Even I do. And I'm pretty clingy too, I guess we both have something in common."
Noire knew that was a lie. Neptune was never clingy and she barely ever got jealous, unless it's about food. The other goddess was just too nice and pure for her own good. "I love you, Neptune. Come back safe, okay? I'll be waiting, as long as it takes." Neptune had waited for her and Noire knew she could wait for Neptune to get back.
The purple goddess felt her heart skip a beat from the loving expression that Noire gave her. It made her want to hug and kiss the girl. "I'll be back before you know it! Then I'm gonna give you a big hug."
Noire blushed, but she kept her eyes trained on the goddess's face, "I'd like that a lot. And I'd appreciate a kiss too, if that's too much to ask?"
"Gah!" Neptune clutched her chest as if she was in pain. "What happened to you being a Tsundere? You're being so overly honest that it's bad for my heart."
"Oh!" Noire frowned as her eyebrows furrowed with concern. "I'm sorry, you don't have to give me a kiss. I'm asking too much, sorry." Noire looked down as she fidgeted with her fingers. Her eyes became glossy as her heart stung. "You probably don't want to kiss me anyways… Sorry for asking…"
"No, I was just teasing!" Neptune yelled and shook her head. "You usually don't ask for things and it just made me so happy, so don't apologize. Actually I'd like it if," Neptune glanced away as she scratched her reddened cheek, "I'd like it if you asked for more of me…"
Noire looked back up to see Neptune being bashful. Her red cheeks caused Noire to feel all warm and giddy inside. "Then… you're okay if I ask for a kiss?"
"Yep!" Neptune chirped. "I'll give you a big fat kiss on the lips when I see ya."
"Can I ask for a date too?"
Neptune happily nodded, liking where this was going. "Uh huh! You can choose wherever you want to go!"
"T-Then can we also share a bed together?"
"Yeah, I could use some Noire cuddles too!" Neptune was really liking this more honest Noire. She could get used to this.
Noire cleared her throat and timidly asked, "T-Then can you help me m-masturbate too? I-I'd like you to watch…"
Neptune easily nodded, "Oh yeah! Most definitely! I'll help you masturbate for as much as you- wait what!?" Her eyes widened as her entire face turned bright red like a tomato when she registered Noire's words. Neptune felt like her heart just exploded in her chest and it wasn't unpleasant. She was a bit scared that she might've heard wrong.
"I'm ending the call!" The black CPU quickly announced as she reached for the cancel button.
"Wait, Noire! What did you just ask!? I didn't hear it prop...!"
The call ended and her screen disappeared. Noire sat there for a minute in complete silence until she could no longer keep her voice in. She buried her face in her hands and she squealed in embarrassment. "I can't believe I just asked that!" But she didn't regret it, in fact, she couldn't stop her lips from curling into a bright smile. She had never felt happier.
"Alright!" Abruptly standing up, she announced, "Let's do some work! I'm gonna make Planeptune prosper!" She needed to do something to distract herself otherwise she would be stuck squealing in embarrassment.
Leaving the living room, she made her way out to the hallway towards Neptune's office where Histoire was.

Vert quickly slammed the two buttons with her fingers as her other hand moved the joystick. She had her tongue stuck out at the corner of her lips as she glared at the screen. Doing a quick combo, she KOed her opponent.
Vert raised her arms in victory, "I win!"
Blanc stood up from her seat to look over the machine. "Rematch! I demand another rematch!"
"We've been playing Street Fighter for awhile now, why don't we try something else?" Vert suggested.
"Not until I beat your ass!" growled the white goddess.
Vert rolled her eyes. "Alright, one more rematch."
"This time for sure," she grumbled. Blanc sat back down as a new round started.
Rom and Ram were playing air hockey while Uni was busy on a shooting game. Uni made sure to get the top scores in every shooting game there was in this arcade. Once she was done, Uni took a break. She stretched her legs and arms as she went over to Blanc, only to see the word LOSER on her screen.
"Damn it!" Blanc raged as she slammed her fist against the console.
"Please refute from damaging the game, Blanc," voiced Vert as she stood up. "This place is still new, after all."
"I can't believe I didn't win a single round!"
Vert giggled, "Better off next time I suppose."
"Don't worry, I'm not good at those games either," Uni said.
"Whatever, how long have we been here anyway?" asked the White CPU as she tried to change the topic off of her epic losing streak.
"Let me see…" Vert pulled out her smartphone to check the time. "Quite awhile. I assume Noire would be done with her talk with Neptune by now."
"We should probably go back and take a look at her. I hope sis didn't fight with Neptune again on the call."
"Nonsense, I'm sure your sister's reconciled with Neptune this time," Vert assured.
"You better be right, because I'm sick of being nice to her," Blanc grumbled.
Vert chuckled, "You say that, but you actually enjoyed babying her, didn't you?"
Blanc blushed as she denied, "No way! She's so annoying when she's upset. She just keeps on yapping about how terrible of a goddess she is when in reality she's the best one out of all of us. What a bunch of bullshit!"
"Blanc, watch your language," Vert warned. "There are children reading this story."
Blanc and Uni all started at Vert with blank eyes. "..."
Vert tilted her head in confusion. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Since when did you break the fourth wall like Neptune?" Blanc questioned.
"Oh! Well she isn't here to do it herself, so I figured that I'd take it upon myself to do her role." Vert giggled.
"Uuuuuh, I don't think you should do that," voiced Uni. "Next thing we know, you would start dropping random references like Neptune too."
"Yeah, we don't need another doofus on the team," added Blanc.
"If you do say so," Vert sighed almost dramatically. And she enjoyed doing it too. At least now I understand why she does it so often.
"Let's head back to the basilicom then," Uni urged.
"Actually, why don't we all go eat first?" Vert suggested. "I do feel a bit peckish. We can ask Noire to join us as well."
"I guess I do feel a bit hungry…" Uni mumbled.
"Rom and Ram will be hungry for sure after running around and playing games for a while," Blanc voiced.
"Then it's all in agreement. I'll call Noire," said Vert as she clicked on Noire's number on her phone.
"Couldn't you just call her on your menu screen?" Blanc asked.
"I could, but my phone was out already," Vert answered as she waited for Noire to pick up.
Blanc and Uni waited until Noire answered the phone. Vert's face lit up when her call went through. Uni took this time to call for the twins as Blanc guided Vert out of the arcade. It sounded like Vert was asking how Noire's conversation with Neptune went. Blanc wanted to hear how it went too, but she'll have to wait and ask Vert after the call ended. The candidates were going through what games they played and what high score they got. Blanc wasn't that much interested, so she placed her attention on Planeptune's populace.
"She said she'll join us," Vert voiced out. "Oh this will be our first dinner together, minus Neptune and Nepgear of course."
"We should do this again, with those two added next time. It's sort of rare for all the CPUs to be gathered in one area," said Blanc.
"Please don't stay that," voiced Uni. "I feel like you're gonna trigger a flag or something."
"Oh Uni, I don't think people will try something with this many CPUs around, but you do make a point, Blanc," agreed Vert. "It is rare for us all to gather together in one area that's not business related."
"Now I'm worried about Lowee, since it's pretty under guarded right now…" mumbled the white goddess.
"You worry too much, Blanc," said Ram. "Mina has everything under control!"
"Y-Yeah, Miss Mina has it in… the bag," Rom smiled.
Vert lightly placed her hand on Blanc's shoulder and grinned. "Have faith in your oracle. They have served us for a very long time. They know how to handle things even better than us sometimes."
Blanc huffed, "You're right. Let's get this dinner over with, then I can go home. A day away from my nation probably has my desk trapped in piles of paperwork. And while I trust my oracle, Mina is a pretty slow worker."
Vert let out a giggle as they walked down the streets to meet up with Noire. Ram and Rom both began to talk trash about their oracle to Uni while the Lastation candidate gave praise to her oracle. The group was getting looks from many citizens, since it's rare to see that many CPUs gathered, but none of them bothered to interrupt what the CPUs were doing. After all, there wasn't anything that needed their attention at that moment.
Plus it was nice to see them being friends with each other.
Lowee, Gamindustri
Place: Lowee City
Date: August 26, 2019
Time: 9:36 P.M
Out in the dark sky, White Heart and her two younger sisters flew past Lowee's Southern borders towards their home. Flying back from Planeptune was tiring since it was the nation furthest away from their home, being the furthest South of all of the nations.
The youngest White Sister let out a yawn. "Man, I'm tired."
"Stay awake, Ram," said White Heart. "We're almost home."
"Yeah, yeah, I know," White Sister groaned.
"B-Blanc… I-I think I might be seeing things… but I think I see smoke coming from the city…" said the blue-haired candidate.
Smoke? How can you even see smoke in this darkness?White Heart squinted her eyes, seeing her city up ahead. She let out a gasp when she realized that the glowing from her city wasn't city lights, but burning buildings. Something was wrong.
"We're speeding up!" White Heart yelled as a white platform formed beneath her feet.
The candidates followed her lead and they all launched off, speeding towards their city. When they reached the edge of their capital, they saw monsters roaming, dead bodies scattered, and buildings collapsing around.
"W-What happened?" asked the older White Sister.
"I don't know, but go help the citizens. Some may be trapped under the debris. Lead them out of the city!" ordered White Heart.
The White Sisters nodded and got to work, flying in separate directions to help as many people as possible. White Heart gritted her teeth as she flew towards her Basilicom, hoping to get a run down of the situation. While flying, White Heart suddenly felt a burning sensation against her back and a loud explosion could be heard. She felt her wings shattered as she descended out of the sky and crashed to the ground, creating a small crater.
White Heart groaned in pain when she sat up. "Ouch…" She rubbed her head as she lightly shook her head to clear her blurred vision.
"Ahahahahahaha! I hit her! I hit her! My aim is top notch!"
White Heart growled as she snapped her head up to see who had attacked her. She didn't recognize the person, but she recognized the outfit, mechanical wings and all. The person that attacked White Heart was a tall woman with a pair of striped horns in her light blue hair. She wore a black and blue bodysuit similar to Green Heart's, and her endowed chest ticked her off.
"You sure took your time, White Heart. I got so bored of waiting that I decided to attack your city instead." The mysterious person said in a mocking tone of voice.
"Who the frick are you!?" White Heart demanded, though deep-down she dreaded the answer.
"Who? Me?" Her blue eyes narrowed as her lips curled into a wide grin. "I'm the CPU of Chaos."

Here we go! Finally! We finally reached some actual action scenes! This is the top of the rollercoaster and it's going down fast, it ain't stoping now! Make sure your safety belts are on because you're all in for a ride! XD
