Alone in the Light
Epilogue
Neptune and Nepgear were sent to Zero dimension after booting up the mysterious game console.
Zero dimension was a world of ruins. The sisters found themselves in the remnants of a familiar-looking city. In the distance, two figures were out fighting the monsters.
One was Uzume with her megaphones and Sapphire, using esper powers. The sight of a human and a slime girl with animal ears and tail fighting together were quite bizarre to the sisters. In fact, they were really interested in Sapphire—in Planeptune, there was no such kind of lifeform that exist.
There were monsters present, but no such monster girls if you exclude Chuko or Shakeko (the panda on the chirper who got turned into a cute girl).
With their exceptional teamwork, Uzume and Sapphire quickly dispatched the waves of monsters. Different than when she first met Uzume, now she wore a kind of raincoat which partially show her cleavage and curves. It also made her plump, shapely legs visible to naked eye.
Sapphire thought, this kind of clothing were the most comfortable compared to wearing the full-on shirt with undies, socks and shoes.
The tense situation from before were gone and Uzume exhaled.
Noticing two pairs of eyes that weren't there before, Uzume stood alert as she shouted.
"Hey...you two! Who are you guys? Where do you come from?"
Though it's more like she was really irritated since the two girls stared so much at her lover.
"It's okay Uzume, I don't feel any bad intentions from them. They might help us defeat Arfoire. The lady has a really hot body, but her personality is so terrible."
"Is perverted things the only stuff on your mind?"
"You know me so well!"
If Arfoire knew the slime girl she was fighting with fantasized about her pretty often, she might puke blood.
Neptune and Nepgear made a strange expression as they watch the duo banter. Sapphire also noticed them and waved her hands approached the duo with Uzume.
"You girls look so cute together, are you lovers?"
"Lovers?" Nepgear couldn't help but blush hard at that thought: 'me and big sis...no way...that's incest, it's really wrong, but I'm still interested'.
"Slime big sis, we're not lovers-don't be silly! Two of us do look alike, ain't it? We're sisters. We might appear affectionate, but that much are normal!"
Sapphire tilted her head cutely again at the new term, "Because you look similar, then you are sisters? You can love your sister without being their lover?"
Nepgear's heart skipped a beat at Sapphire's cute posture. This slime girl's voluptuous figure really remind her of Vert and the playful attitude were akin to her own big sis.
"Ahem..big sister slime, please don't misunderstand—me and sis didn't have anything like that."
"Have both of you kissed or slept together?"
Hearing such perverse question, Neptune couldn't help but retort. "Hey, hold it right there! What kind of things are in your head when it comes to affectionate stuff? When I love Nepgear, we didn't necessarily have to do these things, okay?"
"S-sis...you don't have to deny it so hard."
Seeing as Neptune were really flustered when offering explanation might gave them the wrong idea.
"Well! I don't really understand, but I could tell as much, you girls really cared for one another."
"Un...un." Neptune nod, finally she gets it—she thought.
"Yes, it's just as you said. Big sister slime." Nepgear also felt relieved.
"You girls must have slept together a lot."
"Pu!"
"Awawawa! Y-you got it all wrong!"
Soon, a smack landed on Sapphire's head.
"Aww!"
"I'm really sorry for her. She's actually a smart girl but she often act like a perverse idiot."
Uzume thought, rather than being her lover—she currently felt like her guardian.
...
When they returned to Uzume's base, they were welcomed by a well-functioning living space, a far cry from the desolate lands they tread. The insides were tidy without traces of dust and dirt. The bathroom and toilet were fully functional, so did the kitchen and fridge. There were a big room with double-bed and a smaller room with two single beds. A fully furnished living room with a gaming console and a TV set, which unfortunately didn't have anything airing. The other room was filled with electronic panels that both Uzume and Sapphire couldn't fathom.
A stair led to the rooftops where one could stargaze with the telescope. Downstairs were a garden where various vegetables grew.
"Won't the monsters attack this area?" Nepgear observed the surroundings through the living room's window. Even if this place was intact, the rest were pretty much still ruins.
"They wouldn't. This place was enveloped by share energy and the concentration were getting stronger by day. Our reform was taking place." Uzume simply sip on her tea which Sapphire prepared for everyone. "Even if they showed up, this was our home turf. Me and Sapphire were confident on beating them here."
"Me and Uzume diligently fixed our home whenever we're done fighting monsters." serving the rest of the tea on the dining table where Neptune and Uzume sat, she continued the story.
"Hey, are we're just going to go along without introducing ourselves? As the main character, those kind of things are in order, y'know."
"Ah you're right." Uzume placed down her tea. Nepgear, being the nice and polite girl, gracefully walked into the seat beside Neptune.
"I'm Neptune, please to meet 'cha!"
"My name is Nepgear, I'm her little sister."
"I thought Nepgear is the big sis." Sapphire interjected.
"You dummy—you see how she refer to Neptune as 'sis' in respectful way, how come you didn't realize that? Uh..ahem...I'm Uzume, I'm here to restore the world and defeat monsters."
"I just think it'd be interesting that way."
Uzume ignored her as she continued sipping the tea.
'
Last up, the slime girl introduced herself.
"Name's Sapphire. As you could see, I'm just a normal human." (you're not Mechazawa, who's actually a bonafide human being, Sapphire)
With her being with Uzume all the time, she totally forgot that she's not one and totally treat the slime thing like it was just her ethnic.
The Planeptune sisters eventually decide to just throw common sense to the window and treated her just like their friends.
"Please take care of us!" the sisters said in unison.
"No problem. We''ll also work hard to find the way for you guys to return home." said Uzume
"We won't keep your loved ones waiting for long. Just leave it to us." Sapphire also put a thumbs up at the sisters.
Uzume and Sapphire's adventure with the Planeptune sisters to defeat Arfoire was just beginning.
"By the way, Uzume—it's about time we feel go—aww!"
"Don't give them weird ideas."
...well, they're just like a high-drive married couple now.

Author's Note : About the title: it wasn't anything much. I just want to make a fancy title from 'Alone in the Dark'. Though you could infer it was the wish made by Uzume beneath the starlights, while submerged deep in loneliness, which caused a magic to happen. The canon (Neptunia V-2) did show, she could make her wish come true by daydreaming and in this story I kinda 'buffed' her daydream ability, so yeah.
I'm back again. It's already been a year since I wrote some stuff. Work's been busy but it's mostly me that's lazy af.
Lately I felt like it's really hard for me to write things and they're not fun. I managed to write a lot of things but none of them were satisfying and most of them ended up really boring.
I want to write things that give me a lot of fun from the start to finish. I remember about the stuff I like, which brought me into writing this short story. Like the other stories I posted, I had a lot of fun writing this.
Hope you enjoy it, or if not it's alright. It wasn't easy for me to enjoy stories either. Regardless of it being popular, highly rated and so, it didn't matter a bit. There's just always this unknown factor which made it appeal to me and make it worth following from the start to end. I couldn't really put it into words. Though, a lot of stories I like, I could get into it right from the first chapter. If the kind of writing and storytelling just didn't appeal to me at the very beginning, it's usually hard for me to enjoy it in the end.
If this wasn't to your liking, hopefully you could find something you could truly enjoy while reading.
Anyways, thanks for reading and I wish you luck on the next ones you'll read!
