Welcome back! Sorry no story last week, the bot selected some random fusion characters isolated to a mobile game that I had never heard of before lol. Well, now, time for some Uzubae!

"Hey! Crosty! Are we close!?" An energetic called out as a notebook nearly jumped out of her hoodies pocket.

"Goddamnit! Yes! If you had just listened to me from the start, we wouldn't have gotten lost for 3 goddamn days!" The fairy known as Crorie ranted from her confines in the Nep Note

"Hey now, Crosty, adventure sometimes means you get lost" the second of the women present explained, as her purple haired companion nodded along,

"Uzume has a point, where's the fun if you don't get lost from time to time?" Neptune of the ultradimension asked,

"You two couldn't find yourselves in the goddamn mirror!" She yelled, as both Uzume and Neptune chuckled,

"Well… I think this is it!" Neptune exclaimed as the duo approached the rundown looking castle,

"So… this is the place Gearsy told us about?" Uzume mused as they approached the structure,

"Mhm… what was it called again… Ran… Span… uhhh damn…?" Neptune racked her brain, but seemed to be lost until,

"LAN Castle you moron!" Crorie angrily corrected, as Neptune brightly smiled,

"Thank yoouuu Crosty~ Where would I be without you~?" She cooed,

"Dead!" Crorie yelled,

"Hey that's mean, Crosty, Nepsy-"

"Is a moronic orphan who'd be dead if I didn't help her!" Crorie ranted, as Uzume felt her eyebrow twitch,

"Crosty!" Uzume yelled, "Nepsy is a perfectly capable woman!" The one thing Uzume would not put up with was people bad mouthing her friends!

"Its ok, Uzume, let's just go" Neptune stepped in as she calmed things down, she hated when those two fought, especially on her behalf, and, she considered, Crorie wasn't exactly wrong… Neptune was an orphan, unloved, and unneeded. But… here she was anyway. And she supposed, she did have Crorie to thank for that.

"Hmmm fine. You're lucky I'm totally stoked to be here you little fairy shit, or else I'd grab the sewing needles!" Uzume vaguely threatened, as Crorie soon shut her mouth, knowing full well Uzume was a crazy enough bastard to actually do it.

"So thus is where my lovely younger sister spoke with a ghost?" Neptune presented, as Uzume nodded,

"Yup. This is where I can meet the CPU that came after me… Uranus" even if it may have only come up in passing, as soon as Planeptune's candidate had mentioned her time meeting Planeptune's previous CPU, Uzume was determined to meet her.

The woman who was tasked with cleaning up her mess…

"Mhm…" Neptune nodded, but, in her heart… she was nervous.

"This actually sounds pretty interesting" Crorie had to admit. Even in her long travels, this was her first time conversing with the sealed spirit of someone.

And so. The duo made their way throughout the old castle, fighting their fair share of monsters (while somehow getting lost once more) until…

"Who goes there?" A voice seemed to resonate from nowhere,

"Eeek! N-nepsy, there's a ghost!" Uzume eeped out in her dreamy voice as Neptune sighed with some amusement,

"Yes Uzume… that's why we're here…" Neptune presented as Uzume soon cleared her throat,

"Ahem…" gathering herself she soon proclaimed, "Yo! Are you Uranus!?" She asked, as the voice soon returned,

"I am the very. May I ask, who you are?" Uranus asked, her voice neutral,

"I am Uzume Tennouboshi! It's nice to meet you!" Uzume smiled as she presented her hand, soon realizing the absurdity of asking a ghost to shake her hand, scratching the back of her head, "sorry"

Yet the voice did not respond, as if it was considering something.

"Uzume… Tennouboshi…" the voice considered,

"Yup. I was the CPU of Planeptune before you I was O-"

"Orange Heart" the voice called out, as Uzume seemed taken aback,

"Uh… yea" She scratched her neck again, as Neptune beside her soon gave her a hearty pat on her back

"Look at you Uzume! You're practically famous!" She boisterously declared, yet…

"You… you…" even as but a ghostly voice, the two women sensed something leaking out of Uranus' voice, it seemed… Angry.

"Uhhh…. Miss Goddess?" Neptune gently presented, before-

"You destroyed our country! You destroyed everything! You failed my county, then you had the gall to vanish to nothing, and now.. and now you have the gall to show yourself before me!" Uranus yelled as Uzume gasped,

"I-" She tried to start, but felt herself choke up, somewhat surprised she could possibly remember her considering she has been deleted from history. Although… she supposed, her being restored to the Hyperdimension might have triggered her memory.

"What!? Nothing to say!? I had to clean up your mess! And here you are, do you have anything to say?!" Uranus yelled, a lifetime of pent of anger, and frustration of her own fate building up, "Why do you get to stand there while I- I-!"

"Shut your damn mouth!" another voice added herself to the conversation, as Uzume gasped, looking to her side, as Neptunes harsh voice echoed the old halls, her fist gripped in frustrated anger by her hips,

"Who do you think you are… wait… you're… Neptune. I've seen you before, CPU of Planeptune. Have you retired? Is that why you look older? How can you possibly defend her?! She destroyed our country! She is a failure of a CPU! A disgrace!"

"I said to shut the hell up!" Neptune yelled

"Nepsy…" Uzume mumbled, "she's right… I'm… a… failure"

"You shut up too!" Neptune flipped her glare to her ginger friend, "Why does everyone think that?! Why is it Uzume failed her country!? Why is it that she's at fault?! Why is that what everyone says?! And not that they failed her! She was born with a power she couldn't control, but did anyone actually help her? NO" Neptune screamed as tears welled up in her eyes,

"How could you- a Planeptunian CPU-"

"I am no such thing!" Neptune cut her off, as Uranus seemed to gasp despite the impossibility of this, "But you know what I am?" She asked, reaching her hand down as she gripped Uzume's hand, "I'm Uzume's friend!" She declared, as Uzume gasped again

"Nepsy…"

"You know what it sounds like to me miss Goddess. It sounds like you're jealous! You're jealous Uzume has friends. You're jealous because you failed your country! You died to Arfy, and pushed the issue off onto the next generation! How selfish can you be!? Uzume deserves her happiness!" Neptune uses her whole soul to admonish the old CPU, before defiantly turning her back, keeping her hand intertwined with Uzume as they marched out of the castle.

"Nepsy… that was really cool of you to stand up for me" Uzume embarrassedly thanked her friend who shot her a smile,

"Of course, Uzume, who cares about the lame past anyway. We're here now, right?" Neptune asked, as Uzume considered it, and as the old castle faded into the distance, as they walked away…

Uzume could only smile…

Time for some reviews!
