Snippet 45- Viva la CPU Revolution!
Timeline- Around the beginning of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory/Re;Birth 3.
It was a dire time for Lean Island.
The people had been conquered by a greedy man and his loyal army, dubbing himself 'King' George and outlawing all console games, while charging exorbitant fees to play arcade games. A rebellion had organized, but they were short-manned and ill-equipped, only able to utilize guerrilla tactics against George's army with little success. Many more had been imprisoned, often being abused by the army, especially the women and children. One general in particular was said to have discovered a magical item that could change women into disgusting monsters, which he often did if any women brought before him rejected his advances.
But there was one woman, who had done her research on these items, realizing that it might actually be the people's only hope of salvation...
And so it was, on a dark clear night, that this woman, known only as 'Vert', snuck to the general's fortress, keeping her head down as she moved along the stone barrier, to the gate nearby... she perceived two men standing guard nearby, looking bored out of their minds. A smile crept over her face as she prepared to put her plan into action. She adjusted the low collar of her dress, making sure her cleavage was visible... "Yoo-hoo, boys~!"
"Huh?" the guards gasped as they brought their weapons to bear... only for their eyes to go wide at seeing the sexy blonde beauty before them. "Whoa..." one of them said, the other's jaw going slack from lust...
(Now!) Vert brought out a wooden staff, slamming the first guard in the face before he knew what hit him, then twirling and sweeping the other guard's legs from beneath him, before slamming her staff into his face as well! After making sure they were both out, Vert took the keys from the first guard, unlocking the gate and slipping inside... (So far, so good. Now to get in the fortress proper and look for that item... a CPU Memory, I think it was called?)
But as she snuck through the grass to find an entrance, her foot suddenly broke a twig with an audible 'SNAP!' Immediately a siren blared as Vert was illuminated by a spotlight, several soldiers running in and pointing their weapons at her! "On your knees! Don't move!"
"Oh, for heaven's sake...!" Vert sighed in distress as she raised her hands and kneeled in surrender...
*A short time later...*
"You better have a good reason for waking me so early!" the general grunted as he and one of his subordinates made their way to the main meeting chamber.
"Oh, trust me, General Benedict, you'll appreciate this," the soldier assured him, opening the door for his superior to walk through.
"General!" another soldier greeted him. "We found this broad trying to sneak into the fortress in the dead of night!" He gestured to Vert nearby, who had her arms restrained by two strongmen, forced into a kneeling position. "She knocked out the guards at the gate, most likely distracted them with her body!"
"Oh, my..." Benedict gasped upon beholding the busty blonde, devouring her with his eyes. "Yes, I can certainly see how she did that..." He then remembered himself. "(ahem) Now then, did you really think your little assassination attempt had any hope of success?"
"I wasn't attempting to assassinate anyone," Vert replied, which was technically true. "I would have brought something more lethal than a wooden staff, otherwise..."
"Oh, really? Then what were you attempting to accomplish?" Benedict queried.
"I don't have to answer you, pervert," Vert said defiantly, only to cry out in pain as another soldier pistol whipped-her!
"Enough," Benedict said with a raised hand. "I don't like damaged goods, after all."
Realizing what he meant by that, Vert growled, "I would never submit my body to your pleasures! Do you hear me?"
"Oh, is that so?" Benedict smirked as walked up to Vert, leaning down and gently groping her breast, causing her to shudder in disgust and try to pull away. "Seems a shame to let these go to waste..."
"You lustful animal!" Vert screeched. "How dare you touch my breasts without permission!"
"Oh, I'm going to do more than that," the general said sinisterly, leaning in close and forcibly kissing his captive! Vert grunted in revulsion, managing to maneuver her mouth to get her teeth around her assailant's lower lip, biting down hard, causing him to cry out in pain and break off, holding his mouth! Vert then spat in his direction for good measure. "Yourm a feifty ome, arem't youm...?"
"Do that again and I'll bite your tongue off!" Vert screeched at him.
"Why you...!" one soldier moved to pistol-whip her again-
"NO!" Benedict held out a hand, the man halting mid-swing. "Mmph... we haff better ways to deal mith women mike her," he grunted, still not recovered fully from the earlier bite.
"Do you want me to bring that item, General?" the first soldier asked.
"Yeff, and be quick about if," Benedict nodded, the soldier promptly saluting and running off.
"What 'item'...?" Vert played dumb.
"Oh, don't you know what happen to ladies who reject the general?" another soldier spoke up. "They get turned into disgusting monsters and flushed down the toilet!"
"So, the rumors are true then?" Vert grunted.
"Oh, yeah, I've seen it myself. Just glad I'm not the guy who has to get rid of said monsters," the soldier replied, shivering in disgust. Soon enough, the first soldier returned, holding something that looked like a piece of round candy with a power symbol in the middle.
(That's it...!) Vert's eyes went wide. (It looks just like the drawing I saw in that old historical text...!)
Seeing the change in Vert's expression, General Benedict said, "Oh, are you perhaps reconsidering your earlier refusal? Submit to being my lover for the night, and your beauty will be spared..."
At this, Vert took a deep breath, before responding, "I would much rather lose my beauty and humanity for eternity, than have my virginity taken by the likes of you... YOU (BLEEP)ING (BLEEEEEP)!" It was usually beneath her to cuss like that, but she did so deliberately to draw the expected reaction.
Benedict's face darkened considerably at this. "So be it, you have sealed your fate. Do it!" The strongmen pulled Vert to her feet, a soldier forcing her mouth open while the one holding the CPU Memory approached...
(Please, please! Powers that be, I beg you! Please let me be worthy!) Vert prayed/pleaded as she made a show of trying to resist, closing her eyes as the item was forced into her mouth, promptly swallowing it...
Benedict smirked sinisterly as Vert began to glow... but suddenly she was engulfed in a pillar of bright light surrounded by rings of 1s and 0s, the strongmen crying out in pain as they were repulsed! "What the hell-?!" the general grunted as he put up an arm to shade his eyes from the light. "What's going on?! This isn't what's supposed to happen!"
"I have no idea, sir!" the first soldier said he turned away from the blinding radiance... but then light began to fade, revealing Vert's form... but she had changed significantly. Har hair had shifted from blonde to green, now put up into a high ponytail. Her ragged dress had changed into a black bodysuit that was very open in the front, showing her belly and ample bust, with only two tabs over the nipples to keep her attire from crossing the line into outright porn. And her blue eyes were now a light purple in color, her pupils having changed to white power symbols.
"What the..." Benedict gaped at the incredibly sexy sight, seeing the woman's mouth turn ever so slightly upward... then there was an intense pain in his chest, looking down to see the business end of a large spear buried in his heart, his blood staining it. "You..." was all he got out before the light in his eyes went out, blood leaking from his mouth as he collapsed to the floor and went limp.

Vert's smile then widened as she whipped around, her new spear catching one of the strongmen in the throat and slicing open his jugular! Before the other could react, she attacked with several lighting-fast thrusts, the strongman letting out a death cry as several gashes opened on his body, collapsing to the floor soon after!
"General!" the first soldier cried in disbelief at what had just taken place.
"Shoot her!" another soldier cried, his companion opening fire with his pistol, only for the transformed Vert to spin her spear at impossibly fast speed, easily deflecting the bullets! "On second thought... RUN! Run for your liiiives!" The surviving soldiers swiftly fled the room, leaving Vert standing alone.
After confirming that no further attacks were coming, Vert looked down at General Benedict's corpse, her stomach slightly churning from the sight of blood... so she attempted to alleviate her discomfort by spitting on the dead man. That done, she took a moment to look over herself... (So this is the body of a goddess... such incredible power... but only because I was worthy of it.) She could only shake her head at thinking of the many incompatible girls that had been 'monsterized' by this sick, callous man... (I only pray that their souls find peace someday...) But what would she do, now that she was finally a CPU?
Then it came to her. (Of course, a goddess needs disciples... and I think I know just where to find some.) So she went on her way, looking for stairs leading downward...
*Fortress Basement, Holding Cells*
(Bingo,) Vert thought upon seeing several men, women and children locked up, with only a lone guard keeping watch. (Seems he wasn't informed of what happened upstairs yet...) But then the guard spotted her, bringing up his weapon- only for Vert's spear to lodge in his throat, killing him instantly! Vert promptly walked... no, floated over, ignoring a few gasps from the prisoners as she bent down to check for keys... (What... he doesn't have keys on his person?!) She retrieved her spear and stood up... then it came to her. (Wait, who needs keys?)
"Who are you?" one of the men spoke up. "Are you here to help us?"
"Eh? OH! Oh, yes, that is exactly why I'm here! Please stand away from the door!" Vert ordered, the prisoners backing up as much as they were able, though a few children complained about being squished... Vert then slashed at the lock on the cell door, destroying it and allowing her to pull it open! "There! Everyone out!"
"Amazing!" an NPC female gasped as she and a few others stepped out. "Those eyes... are you a CPU?!"
"Yes, I am..." Vert trailed off, not sure if she should give them her proper name... (Green... Heart? Yes, that's it!) "I am the goddess Green Heart, come to liberate you from those who have oppressed you so cruelly! That General Benedict is already dead at my hands!" Immediately the people burst out into cheers, especially the women!
"It's a miracle...! Finally, our prayers have been heard!" another NPC woman exclaimed in joy. Soon, Green Heart had broken the rest of the locks, the prisoners streaming out...
"All right, follow me! Be careful, there may still be enemy soldiers about!" The new CPU instructed, one man picking up the dead guard's gun as the rest followed her out of the basement...
But as the group emerged from the fortress, they were confronted by several armed soldiers, led by Benedict's right-hand man! "Did you really think you were gonna get away with this, you damn broad?!" he growled in anger. "Now throw down your weapon and surrender, and we won't kill your new friends!"
(What do I do?!) Green Heart thought to herself, gritting her teeth as she pointed her spear at the lead soldier... but then green energy began to gather at the spear's tip, the goddess feeling an incantation coming to mind... "Inbetween... Spear!" Immediately several pointed green projectiles shot forth from her spear, spreading out to hit several of the soldiers at once, a larger projectile drilling the lead soldier right through his torso, who promptly fell dead where he stood!
"Fall back! Fall back!" one of surviving soldiers cried. "Get to cover!"
"Charge, men! Take the weapons from the dead soldiers!" Green Heart ordered, the NPC males yelling a battle cry as they did so, promptly opening fire once they were armed, taking out some of the retreating enemy soldiers, the women and children staying behind the CPU as they advanced forward... With both Benedict and his right hand now dead, the remaining soldiers were too disorganized to put up much resistance, and were soon driven out of the fortress altogether, fleeing into the night.
"We did it! We routed them!" one of the NPC men raised his firearm in victory. "Glory to the goddess Green Heart for our salvation!" The others promptly cheered in triumph, several gathering around the CPU and chanting her name.
Feeling a little claustrophobic, Green Heart materialized a pair of processor wings and levitated into the air, dismissing her weapon. "All right, settle down everyone... though we have claimed victory today, this is only the first step. Lean Island will not be truly free until 'King' George has been toppled from his faux throne, and the citizens able to play console games in the comfort of their homes once more! And on that note, I intend to create my own console once George is dealt with! This is a dawn of a brand new day for Lean Island... no, for the nation of Leanbox! Let us march forward together, toward a bright shining future!"
As she said this, the sun began to peek over the horizon, the citizens cheering loudly for their new goddess...
*George's Castle*
"Boss! Boss!" a soldier cried as he ran into an elaborate bedroom, it's sole occupant playing on an 8-bit Lowee console, hypocrite that he was... But he did not turn to face the new arrival. "Boss...?"
"I'm ignoring you," the man said bluntly.
"Oh! I mean, Your Majesty!"
"Yes? What is it?" the man promptly paused his game to face the soldier. Despite his regal dress, his face was that of a common thug's, except for his black beard being slightly better trimmed.
"We just got a report from the south! They say Benedict was killed and his fortress was taken over by the prisoners! They say that a CPU was the one responsible!"
"What?! A CPU?! Impossible!" George said in disbelief as he stood up. "No self-respecting CPU would ever come to this backwater island...!"
"But, Boss- I mean, Your Majesty, they said she has a magic spear capable of killing several men at once! And that she can deflect bullets with no effort whatsoever! She apparently calls herself Green Heart, and is dressed in a sexy black suit...!"
"No..." George shook his head in denial. "This has to be a trick! That Benedict always thought with his dick instead of his head! It wouldn't surprise me one bit that some broad managed to get close enough to kill him! And I'll bet you she had hidden guns set up beforehand, to make everyone think she's a goddess!"
"But... what if she is?!" the soldier dared to suggest.
"Even IF that's true, she's still only one person!" the false king asserted. "There's many more of us than of her! Even if she joins with the rebels, we still vastly outnumber them! I'm not giving up this throne without a fight! Contact the other generals and tell them to shore up their defenses!"
"At once, Bo- Your Majesty!" the soldier bowed, before rushing out of the room.
*To be continued...*
