Part 7:
ASIC
And so the concert went on until it was night and had an intermission.
5pb.: Okay there will be a short intermission for any of you to do what you need to, but be back soon!
But of course there were people who didn't have to do something and just walked around on the roof.
Rin: Hey bro, pretty great concert right?
Yukio: Yeah, I can see why shes famous in their world.
Rin: Yeah, definitely.
Yukio: Oh and don't look now, but someones watching you.
Rin: Huh?
But Rin ignored it for a few minutes and looked off the roof over the city.
Rin: Ah, sometimes its nice to just take it all in.
Nepgear: Rin!
Rin: Huh? Oh you, shouldn't you be off with your friends?
Nepgear: Nope they all had something to do.
Rin: Well that makes sense.
Nepgear: All except one that is.
Rin started to grin.
Nepgear: You now this world really is beautiful.
Rin: Not all of it, but here, at a rich-kids schools city, yeah.
Nepgear: You know Rin, do you think we could be a team?
Rin: Huh? How do you mean?
Nepgear: You know, your brothers always picking the teams maybe we could ask if we could be a team every time?
Rin: Maybe.
Suddenly they heard 5pb. over the microphone.
5pb.: I hope your all back because its time to keep the good times rolling with one of my more energetic songs, Dimension Tripper!
And so 5pb. started singing again and Nepgear burst out.
Nepgear: Rin! This ones great! Come on lets dance!
Rin: Huh?
But even as Rin said that he was pulled closer to the stage, the music started.
Rin: Wow she wasn't lieing this one IS energetic.
Nepgear: Yeah.
So Rin and Nepgear danced through the whole song.
Rin: Wow… you're a really good dancer… hooooo
Nepgear: I could say the same to you.
Neptune: Hey!
Rin: Hey Neptune.
Nepgear: Hi sis.
Neptune: Nice dance you two.
Rin: Thanks.
Nepgear: Well it wasn't that great.
Neptune: So how are you two? Kissed yet?
Nepgear: W-Would you stop bringing that up!
Neptune: Well Nep jr. its not hard to tell.
Nepgear: I told you, we aren't, well you know?
Rin: Yeah, its not that, we're just good friends
Nepgear: Yeah so stop bringing it up.
Neptune: Fine, fine, you two clearly wont be moved on that, I'm gonna go hang out with the other CPUs.
Nepgear: I don't think you're their type!
Neptune: Very funny!
Rin: She's a joker.
Nepgear: Yeah, but you get used to it, Ive had to live with her my whole life.
Rin: I cant imagine, Yukio wasn't like that, the old man kinda was but he wasn't annoying about it.
Nepgear: Your father?
Rin: Technically he wasn't but he raised me and Yukio so he kinda was.
Nepgear: Oh.
Rin: Anyway, we've been talking awhile we should just enjoy the music.
Nepgear: Right.
So the concert went on into the night until it was (finally) over
5pb.: Alright, that's all, it was nice having a private audience who was so excited.
So everyone went to bed not knowing tomorrow would be the hardest day of their lives.
As per usual Yukio was the first awake but this time, not to later was greeted bye Noire.
Yukio: Oh I didn't know you were awake.
Noire: Well I doubt you have ever really had anyone punctual here besides yourself.
Yukio: I suppose so.
Kuro walked up to Yukio.
Yukio: Oh Kuro do you want something?
Kuro: I'm hungry.
Yukio: Alright I'll get you some food.
Noire: Wait, you can hear him?
Yukio: Yeah, me and my brother are part demon so we can hear what they say.
Noire: Oh.
So Yukio walked to the kitchen to feed Kuro and saw someone in the back.
Yukio: Huh?
Kuro and Yukio walked to the back both to get Kuro food and to check.
Yukio: Oh, its only you and Ukobach.
Blanc: Yeah.
Yukio: Are you CPUs the punctual type?
Blanc: Most of us.
Yukio: I'm guessing excluding Neptune?
Blanc: Yeah.
Yukio: Well you two get back to what you were doing I just came to get Kuro some food.
Blanc: Oh and by the way Vert wanted to ask if you had a computer with internet you should go to her room and answer her question.
Yukio: Ok, I'll remember to do that.
So Yukio gave kuro some food and went to the room he was pretty sure was Verts.
Yukio: Hello, is someone there?
Vert: Yes come in.
Yukio went in and said they did have internet but the only computers were in storage.
Vert: Wheres the storage room?
Yukio: Youre not really thinking of hooking one up are you?
Vert: Trust me, I'm an expert I'll have it done quick.
Yukio: Fine come on I'll show you the storage room.
So they found a computer that fit Verts specifications and took it to her room.
Yukio: Wheres Rin its about time he should be up by now.
So Yukio walked to him and Rins room only to hear people inside.
Yukio: Huh?
Yukio opened the door to find Rin, Nepgear, and Usamuro on Rins bed talking.
Rin: Okay whats your e-mail?
Yukio: What the!?
Rin: Oh hey bro!
Yukio: You should be helping around the dorm why are you three just in here talking!?
Rin: Sorry bro just talking because we couldn't find anything to do.
Yukio: Well get out of here and go do something.
Rin: Ugh, fine.
So they all left the room except Yukio.
Yukio: Does he… No as far as I know he's still with Shiemi...
So everyone helped people with other things, Rin helped Vert get the wifi code, Blanc helped Ukobach make a Lowee delicacy and well, Nepgear got Neptune awake.
Yukio got a call and got everyone together.
Yukio: Everyone! We have a strange sighting at the beach we need to go there and neutralize the threat!
Everyone: Hai!
Yukio: What?
Neptune: Yes we totally got him! Hai is yes sir or stuff like that in japanese!
Yukio: Whatever.
Yukio: We need to go in teams, I suggest…
Rin and Nepgear raised their hands.
Rin and Nepgear: We're a team!
Neptune started grinning.
Yukio: Thinks: Maybe he does.
Yukio: OK now since they started it everyone assign their own teams we leave in fifteen minutes.
So everyone assign their own teams ending up as, Blanc, Ram and Rom,Plutia, IF and Compa, Neptune and Noire, Usamuro, Uni and Kuro (as backup) and… wait someones not here.
Neptune: Hey you know I just realized something.
Noire: What?
Neptune: Wheres the MMO junkie?
Noire: Vert?
Neptune: Yeah.
So they went to Verts room and literally had to slap the headphone off of her, and bring her back.
Neptune: Come one, important mission stuff no time for arguing.
Vert: Ugh.
So when they went back the last team of Vert, 5pb. and Yukio was assigned, and they all went to the sighting area to find some of Rins classmates.
Rin: Suguro? Shima? And even Izumo, why are you all here?!
Suguro: Oh so I guess just because you're the son of satan you have rights to every mission and we don't?
Rin: No, well kinda, but that's not the point.
Izumo: By the way whats with the party did someone die?
Rin: No this is just the people staying at our dorm.
Izumo: Right.
Shima: So many girls…
Rin: I guess, anyway we're going.
Yukio: Yeah we probably should.
Suguro: Fine teach, but we're coming to.
Yukio: Good, by my guess we're gonna need the backup.
Suguro: And Shima if you so much as get near one of their chests, see it coming.
Shima: See what coming?
Suguro: My fist in your face!
Shima: Fine bon geez.
CFW: Magic: It sure has taken them long enough.
CFW Judge: Should I break more stuff?
CFW Trick: I think we've broken enough.
CFW Magic: Servant! Come here!
S. Uni: Yes ma'am?
CFW Magic: Go cause some confusion.
S. Uni: Yes ma'am
CFW Magic: Just fall into my trap.
CFW Brave: If this is multiple people I will not have it, I do single duels not multiple.
CFW Magic: Fine as you wish. my servant will purge the others if more than one approach you.
Yukio: Ok, we're here.
They had stopped at a part of the beach with some trees next to it.
Yukio: Ok everyone spread out and search.
Plutia: Ok everyone remember what Yuki said, there are some small fry demons here to.
Compa: Ok.
They heard noise in a bush and something that was not a demon came out.
IF: Dogoos?! That's not a demon!
Compa: Oh well, lets just take them out.
Blanc: Where is what we are looking for?
Ram: What is what we are looking for?
They were searching inside the small woods and came into a clearing to see an unpleasant sight.
CFW Trick: Its so nice to see you.
Blanc: And who are you?
CFW Trick: I am CFW Trick, and it may be insensitive but you are too old.
Blanc: What!?
CFW Trick: But I do see some nubile maidens behind you.
During Blancs shock CFW Tricks tongue went behind Blanc and grabbed Ram and Rom.
Ram: Sis help! This is gross!
Blanc: Its OK I'll take this creep down.
Noire: Why did I pick you as my teammate?
Neptune took her head out of the bush she was "investigating"
Neptune: Because you said it yourself, " We do make an effective team."
Noire: I never said that.
They walked into another clearing to see the enemy they found.
CFW Brave: Oh so its you two.
Neptune: And you are?
CFW Brave: My name is CFW Brave, but no need.
Neptune: What?
CFW Brave: Because, formality is unnecessary while I'm fighting you.
Someone emerged from the trees.
Uni: Hey sis!
Noire: Uni?
Noire walked over to her only to be met with a gun but in her head, and just after Shadow Uni disapeared.
Neptune: Huh? Noire!?
CFW Brave: Youre all alone now.
Suguro: Why did they want our help?
Izumo: Done ask me just keep looking.
They started hearing noises in the forest.
Shima: What if it's a giant bug!?
Konekomuru: That's highly unlikely.
Suguro: It came from over here!
They all ran to find another clearing with a large black form in front of them.
CFW Judge: PREPARE TO DIE!
Rin: I hope the other side of the beach is clear!
Almost instantly when they started the east beach was overrun with smaller demons and monsters.
Nepgear: Its okay Rin I think we could do this all day!
Rin: True.
After they took all of them down they sat down for some rest.
Rin: I wouldn't think Yukio would get called for something small like that something else must be happening here.
CFW Magic: How right you are.
Rin: Huh!?
CFW Magic landed behind them.
Nepgear: You!
Rin: Who is this?
Nepgear: This is the member of ASIC that took down me and the CPUs three years ago.
Rin: Wow, she must be strong.
CFW Magic: I am!
She said summoning a large wind.
Yukio: we should have found something by now.
Vert: Yeah I knew this was a waste of time.
Yukio: Ugh, yeah because you could have kept playing your MMO while we all got beaten to death!
Vert: I was just joking.
5pb.: Look!
A large nebirius demon came out in front of them.
5pb.: Eep!
She ran behind Verts back.
Vert: No need to be afraid.
Yukio: All three of us have got this!
Blanc: Let go of my sisters!
CFW Trick: Go ahead keep hitting me with your hammer, if you kill me my tongue muscle will tighten and the little kids will die
Blanc: What!?
CFW Trick: That's right, youre helpless.
Neptune: Ahh!
She screamed as she was knocked back for the fourth time.
CFW Brave: When will you realize that wont work?
Neptune: I don't know maybe now.
CFW Brave: But you are weak, its time to finish you!
?: Stay away from Neptuna!
Someone flew up and punched CFW Brave into the air and quickly pursued.
Neptune: Huh!?
Rin: I cant see, the sand cloud is to thick!
CFW Magic had formed cubes of thick sand around Rin and Nepgear via wind.
CFW Magic: Now this!
CFW Magic shot a large fireball at them turning the sand to glass
Rin: What is this?
CFW Magic: Don't try to get out.
Nepgear: Why do… I feel… cold.
CFW Magic: Look up.
Nepgear: Huh?
Nepgear looked up to see a cloud making snow fall inside the glass cube.
Nepgear: I'm… starting… to… feel… weak.
Rin: Nepgear!
Rin could only watch in horror as Nepgears skin slowly turned white and her veins protruded, and finally she spoke so quietly he couldnt hear but could see her mouth move…
Nepgear: Thank you Rin… goodbye.
Neptune: Who is that?
CFW Brave: WHAT!?
The stranger punched CFW Brave down plowing him into the ground and he disapeared, and Neptune could see two things familiar about the stranger, long yellow hair, and the protruding tooth on the left. The stranger landed and flashed in light emerged, as the kid who saved Yukio and Shiemi.
Neptune: P-ko!?
?: That's right!
Blanc: Let my sisters go!
CFW Trick: I told I cant do that.
Blanc: Ugh.
CFW Trick: kekekeke I win—
Neptune ran up behind Trick and had stabbed her sword into his back.
CFW Trick: Ow what was that!?
Trick hadnt realized that he had dropped Ram and Rom and Blanc had transformed.
Blanc: Tanzerin Tromble!
CFW Trick: What!?
Blancs axe was brought down on Trick and he shattered. And two white balls of light were left, which flew to Ram and Rom.
Ram: Whoa that's so much power I can feel it.
The light was absorbed into Ram and Rom.
Rom: We won.
Blanc: All thanks to you Neptune.
Neptune: Hey I cant take all the credit, P-ko over there saved me.
Blanc: Wait I thought the kid was.
Neptune: Oh I don't know how she's here either.
Suddenly they heard someone yell scaring the birds out of the trees.
Rin: NEPGEAR!
Neptune: Something must have happened to Nep jr. I'm going.
CFW Magic: Hurts doesn't it? Doesn't it make you sad?
Rin: Lady you misunderstand.
CFW Magic: Huh?
Rin: I don't get sad…
CFW Magic: What!?
Rin: I GET ANGRY!
Rins body was covered in blue flames and the flames broke the glass and Rin drew his sword and ran at CFW Magic.
CFW Magic: What!?
CFW magic started to fly away but was blocked by a wall of fire.
Rin: You will be repayed for what you did!
Rin ran up kicked CFW Magic and stabbed her with his sword.
CFW Magic: How could you best me so easily.
Rin: Lets just say, you don't make the son of satan angry.
CFW Magic disappeared and Rin walked over to the glass cage Nepgears body was in and broke it.
Rin: Why?
Neptune: Nep jr.! Rin!
Rin:….
Neptune: What happened?
Rin: You see your sister… shes…
Suguro: This guys tough.
Vert: Not for long.
A large spear was driven through CFW Judge and he disappeared to reveal Vert, Yukio and 5pb.
Yukio: That's all the trouble we should…
Yukio heard Neptune scream in shock.
Yukio: You guys go ahead, I'll catch up.
Neptune: It cant be…
Neptune fell to the ground and started crying.
Yukio: Rin whats going—
Yukio saw Rin get up holding a white, lifeless Nepgear.
Yukio: Rin…
Rin: Its best to move on, come on.
Yukio: Rin. Come on, Neptune lets go, I'll call everyone.
Neptune: Ok.
Uni: Why did I have to be part of the backup team.
Usamuro: I saw it coming, they wouldn't need us, I'm sure they won and everyone came out of it perfectly—
Everyone was walking to where they were and as Usamuro said this he saw Nepgear on Rins shoulder.
Uni: Nepgear…
So they joined the group and went back to the dorm.
So everyone worked the rest of the day to build a funeral ground for Nepgear digging a hole and Rin place blue-flame lighted candles inside of the hole.
Yukio: Now that were done its pretty late, the funeral will be tomorrow.
So the next day everyone went to the funeral.
Yukio: Today we have come here because of our friendships with Nepgear, all the formal goodbyes have been said and tears have been shed, for one final testimony is Nepgears sister, Neptune.
So Neptune walked to the mic and started.
Neptune: Everyone, I do think I am not currently mature enough to say a motivational speech so if you'll excuse it, the more mature side of me will be reading this speech.
Neptune briefly shone in light and when the light disapeared purple heart was revealed standing over the mic.
Neptune: Friends of Nepgear, CPU candidate of Planeptune, have come to say their final goodbyes to the most brave little sister ever, she died fighting, and we will miss her, because she wasn't just a goddess, she was a friend, a sister, a source of joy to those around her, and maybe even, a lover, and with that we lower her into this grave knowing , she will be in our hearts.
And she walked back to her seat.
Yukio: The final testimony has been said, we now, with heavy hearts lower Nepgear into her final resting place.
Yukio pressed a button on the podium and the plate on which Nepgears body was, lowered into the grave and was illuminated with blue fire.
S. Uni: They have killed my master and the others…. Not only will the kid have died now, all of them will die!
After the funeral they all went back to the dorm, and even the cheerful Peashy seemed sadder.
Rin: Neptune?
Neptune: Yeah?
Rin: That was a really nice speech.
Neptune: Thanks, I was on the verge of tears the whole time.
When they finally got back they found the dorm in ruins and Shadow Uni standing on the roof.
S. Uni: It's a shame really, you just fixed it.
Rin: What are you doing.
S. Uni: Revenge.
Neptune: Well you wont stand a chance against us!
S. Uni: Oh will I?
Something looked different suddenly, and everyone fell to the ground when she said.
S. Uni: Fall.
Rin: Why did you leave me?
S. Uni: You were the one who killed my master so I'll start with you then I'll kill all of them.
Rin: Fine lets go.
They fought and fought Rin clearly losing
Rin: You wont win!
S. Uni: Oh, will I not?
Shadow Uni stretched her hands out and two more shadows fell out.
S. Uni: Go my pets!
The shadows however went right passed Rin and to Ram and Rom.
Rin: What!?
The two shadows emerged as copys of Ram and Rom.
Rin: You wont win!
S. Ram: No we will.
S. Rom: and you will lose.
So against three targets Rin stood even less of a chance but he realized.
Rin: Thinks: Wait Shadow Ram and Shadow Rom are just being controled by Shadow Uni, If I ignore them and take her out…
So Rin stopped fighting Shadow Ram and Shadow Rom, and went for Shadow Uni.
S. Uni: What are you doing?!
Rin: I'm gonna take you out!?
S. Uni: Oh are you?
Suddenly Shadow Uni split into multiples until they surrounded Rin.
S. Uni: If you cant see the real me…
Something zipped by and punched Rin.
S. Uni: You will lose.
Rin: Coward!
S. Uni: Lets face it…
Another zipped by and punched him.
S. Uni: If cowards have the right technique…
The same thing happened again and Rin fell over
S. Uni: Even the bravest and strongest will be taken down.
But shadow Uni was enjoying her trick to much to notice the CPUs had gotten up.
Rin: You wont win.
S. Uni: HA! Of course I will.
Neptune: I don't think you will either!
Shadow Uni watched as her fake shadows were taken down, being clawed by Yellow heart, ripped apart by Iris heart, smashed to bits by white heart, impaled by green heart, Cut apart by black heart, and shredded by purple heart.
S. Uni: ha, haha, hahahahahaha,
Neptune: Huh? Why are you laughing, we've as good as beaten you?
S. Uni: You think I don't have a backup plan?
Noire: What!?
S. Uni: Now!
When she said that six shadows came out of nowhere and attacked the CPUs.
S. Uni: Youre all mine now! Get him!
Peashy: OK.
Neptune: Will do.
Noire: Yes ma'am.
Iris heart: And so forth.
S. Uni: I knew that would be funny!
Rin: You wont.
S. Uni: Go ahead, fight back, oh wait you cant because then you'll hurt your friends.
?: I don't think so!
Rin: Huh!?
S. Uni: Who!?
And Shadow Uni was hit with a laser beam.
S. Uni: I thought master killed you!
Rin: Its… Nepgear.
Nepgear: You have been bested, now run away!
S. Uni: Fine and I'm taking my shadows with me! But I'll be back!
Nepgear: Scum.
So Nepgear landed and changed back to normal immediately struck with weakness.
Rin: Nepgear, how are you alive!?
Nepgear: You may not have realized but the very grave you put me in, saved me.
Rin: You died from cold.
Nepgear: And the heat of the blue-flame candles brought me back.
Just then Nepgears N-gear started ringing.
Nepgear: Hello?
Histoire: Hello Nepgear I believe you've found everyone.
Nepgear: Yup.
Histoire: Me and the other Histoire will be able to get you back in three days.
Nepgear: Sounds fine.
Neptune: So we're going home in three days.
Rin: I guess so, during that time want to help rebuild what she broke?
Neptune: Sure.
DAY 1
Rin: Ugh, why do we always get stuck doing this?
Yukio: Well, our dormitory does have some demons living in it, so its our job. I doubt even the director knows about Nepgear and the others yet.
Rin: Yeah good point.
DAY 2
Rin: Well, looks like we're almost done.
Yukio: Yeah, looks pretty good, we've finished around three-fourths of the building, how about you go get everyone and we'll take a group picture?
Rin: Yeah sure, that sounds cool.
So a few pictures were taken and messups deleted.
DAY 3
1:00PM
Neptune: Finally, its done.
Noire: Hey, it took a lot of work, we should be proud of it.
Neptune: I don't think its something to be proud of, we got stuck with someone elses work
Noire: I think it is.
Neptune: Well, I don't.
Blanc: Just shut up!
2:00 PM
Peashy: Hey that's mine!
Neptune: We've been over this!
Nepgear: Fighting as usual.
Rin: Really? They normally do that?
Nepgear: Yup, all the time.
3:30 PM
Peashy: Compa!
Compa: Huh? Oh Peahy do you need something?
Peashy: Yeah, look at this.
Peashy transform to Compa surprise
Compa: Huh!?
Peashy: Look, you said I'd be boingy some day and look! I am.
Compa: Yeah, you are, you know what? You might be even more boingy than Vert over there.
Vert: Ugh.
6:00 PM
5pb.: Who do you think is the cook?
Ram: I couldn't even begin to think about it.
Rom: Me two.
Uni: Just wait and I'm sure you'll find out, this is our last day, we ask Rin when he brings out the food.
Yukio: I think youre in for a surprise.
Nepgear: Really? You know? Who is it?
Neptune: Yeah tell us.
Vert: Tell us.
Yukio: Nope, I'm gonna let you find out.
Blanc: You insufferabl—
Rin: Alright everyone, dinner is served.
Nepgear: Rin, we wanted to ask—
Neptune: Who cooks all the food?
Rin: Oh yeah one sec.
Rin walks into the kitchen and walks out again with Ukobach on his shoulder.
Rin: Me and Ukobach cook all the meals here, 'cuz it's the only useful skill I got.
Ukobach: Mhm.
Yukio: Thinks: I cant believe he admitted that AGAIN.
Noire: Youre kidding right?
Rin: Nope.
Ukobach: Uh, uh
Neptune: Wow, cooking,… yup dead ringer for Nepgear, that's the only skill she don't got.
Nepgear: Sis, I told you to drop that!
Rin: Thinks: Yup, just like always.
