"So you're saying that Noire did it?"
"Yes. Yes I am."
Uni and Vert were alone in a small room, with little but a desk, a computer, and two chairs.
After Histoire forcibly pried Uni from Nepgear, this was where Uni went. Not home, not to the wilderness, not back to Nepgear. Here.
Uni knew that Vert adored Nepgear, almost as much as Uni herself. The moment Uni's senses returned to her, she knew one thing; that her sister had to pay. Uni, however, was not a strong CPU. She could maybe inconvenience Noire in her human form, but as soon as Black Heart came out, it was game over. So Uni turned to the only CPU she could trust right now: Vert.
Vert loved Nepgear. Everyone knew it, it was Gamindustri's worst kept secret. From time to time, Uni was teased about it. It never bothered her at all, however. Uni knew that Nepgear only saw Vert as an older sister type, and not romantically. Her mind, therefore, was always at ease when she knew they were together. All it would take to get Vert on her side were the words "Noire killed Nepgear".
From Vert's expression, Uni could see that it worked perfectly. Vert was holding her mouse in a death grip, her arms shaking and her face contorting whilst trying to fight back tears. She failed, though, and the tears quickly came pouring.
Uni moved from her seat and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, which was naught but an empty gesture intended to get Vert on her side. She didn't care about Vert, or her wellbeing, or anything else. She just wanted vengeance for Nepgear, at any cost.
After 5 or 6 minutes of weeping, Vert steeled herself and stood up. Grabbing Uni by the shoulders, she stared right into her core with a gaze composed of purely hatred.
"Stay here for tonight. Tomorrow, we march to Lastation and make Noire pay. We need justice for Nepgear" Her words were devoid of their usual elegance, in it's place was anger and bloodthirst.
Uni nodded. "Justice for Nepgear."
Turning away from Vert, Uni unleashed the smile she had been suppressing. She did it. She turned Vert to her side with three simple words.
Her plan to leave the room ASAP was delayed by Vert stepping in front of her. This time, Vert placed a gentle, almost protective hand on Uni's fce.
"Since we'll be dismantling Lastation, I have a proposal." Vert leaned in close to Uni.
"I propose that we induct you as Green Sister." She said, a little too calmly.
Uni was torn. VERY torn. She wanted vengeance on Noire, yeah, but to dismantle her homeland and switch sides felt... wrong.
"I'll do it" Uni replied hastily. She didn't mean it, of course. She was simply delaying in order to formulate a better plan.
"Excellent, I'll make preparations with Chika in the morning." Vert placed a small kiss on Uni's forehead and nudged her on her way.
Tomorrow was the day.
Tomorrow was the day Noire died.
