The Console Wars

by BlackNoire

The CPUs are at each other's throats, but not in Celestia but in Gameinudstri. This is not done from Neptune's perspective or any CPU for that matter. A male arrives in Gamindsutri who appears to be from somewhere else. All is not as it seems as this is not from the Neptunia universe but a general gaming universe. This is a fanfic unlike any other. Rated M for violence.

22. Justice?

(message was as at 26th June 2013)

This message is exclusively to the people in Nisa, from the fanfic topic that commented on my previous chapter, the rest of you only the last paragraph is to you. (After the message is Chapter 22)

I respect the fact that those that commented don't seem to like the chapter but what I strongly do not approve of is your immature, idiotic, offensive comments (especially considering how you couldn't be more wrong and "hark who's talking") because fair enough you may not like torture but torture is in a lot of media (books, games, movies, tv, it was even in Neptunia itself) and I did add a warning, as for characters what about other media's portrayal of them? I just merely did my own version of the game just as a lot of people do here.

But you know what I don't really care about what you lot think as regards to my fanfic nor do I think much to any of you lot, because you're unable to respect my fanfic, you're unable to respect me as an author and you clearly haven't read all of it because then you would be able to understand the very situation that you're ranting at. Also you never commented on the rest of the fanfic, when xnobody13 (someone I do respect) reviewed chapter 4 he said there was improvement none of the others spoke of it since, until chapter 13 (which some of you once again have badmouthed it) or what about the other chapters that Hater of None reviewed (not counting 13)?. The point is you'll happily bash anything you think is bad but never comment on anything else. You're just unable to suggest improvements or anything constructive so how do you expect me to listen to you lot? The real issue is that my fanfic doesn't fit your awful mould, I think that's the real reason you don't like it. You want Neptune to be 1. and you want there to be no man love woman, no OOC, no Noire being victorious and that's a big shame, you want the portrayals to be a certain way but not even Neptunia itself is decent at that IMO. It's also clear to me that only people with degrees in literacy are allowed to write fanfics according to you lot, which is a shame because that mentality you lot have is incorrect.

Thing is if I'm honest some of your fanfics don't really appeal to me especially: Hyperdimension Neptunia is Real which is the worst Neptunia fanfic I've ever encountered, that fanfic to me is just HDN with it's author in it and I strongly disliked HDN's story as well as that fanfic. My fanfic however has a unique perspective with unique portrayals of characters as well as numerous Playstation characters (like Kratos, Cole McGrath and Parasoul), I also describe landmasses in a lot of detail and it has a lot of gaming references like Driver, Cod and Need For Speed, now how many Neptunia fanfics has that? Is Noire OOC in my fanfic? Hell yeah because I prefer her that way, does she win in my fanfic? Hell yeah because I don't like Neptune dominating like she seems to do in some of your fanfics.

I'm going to carry on writing my fanfic my way (you lot should never tell someone to stop writing, especially considering how I think the same to you lot but you never heard me say that before), how I want it (even if I'm not the best in literature) and there are some people do like my story and my views are increasing all the time (some even found the last chapter plus various references in my fanfic funny) and if those that said bad things about my fanfic don't like it tough.

To the rest of you thank you for supporting me by always reading new chapters especially to those that added me as their favourite and followers as well as to Hater of None who always gives fair, decent and honest reviews, I will happily listen to suggestions that are constructive and respectful and I do care about what the rest of you think and I hope the rest of you are able to enjoy my story.

Chapter 22: Justice?

The flashback is now over as once again all 3 of us: Noire, Uni and myself have experienced that wonderful memory, and we now find ourselves together in the familiar old house.

"Ahh I remember that day well, we finally brought that slut to justice." I say to them.

"Uh huh, what baffles me is why is Plutia here though? I would have assumed she got put away behind bars for good, for being a very villainous vile venomous woman." Noire replies to me sounding quite concerned.

She makes a very good point, if we have apparently put Team Planeptune behind bars then why is it clear that they're in Gameindsutri? That concerns me and it is sad that at that flashback we all believed to have done a job well done. But it is sad to then know that for some reason she came here and repeated her tyranny. I wouldn't be surprised if she escaped justice then. But even if she did continue her reign of terror, then I can only blame the justice system, and for us we know she would have done it even if she didn't get punished by us. More illogical unsolved stuff. My only guess is she brainwashed the authority into being allowed to get away with what she did.

"Not to mention we became very good friends with Team Lowee. When we came here I had no memory of our past, but some memories did come back over time. When we joined Lowee in their war with Planeptune, we became good friends with Blanc and her younger sisters. But the day we came to where Neptune lived was when Blanc fell out with us. We don't know why Blanc fell out with us, she thought we kidnapped Planeptune's CPUs. Of course we haven't." Uni adds.

"What about White have you ever encountered her here?" I ask them all.

"We remember her from when we captured and tortured Plutia, but we've never seen her here at all. It is indeed tragic that first we fall out with Neptune then she turns bad. Then we fall out with Vert, then Blanc. It seems to be just us 3 now." Noire answers me sounding quite glum.

"I believe that what I am for Lastation, White is for Lowee. I'm not really sure why she's not here. It makes no sense." I respond to them.

Unfortunately I get a bit of déjà vu when:

Suddenly I hear a loud knock on the door. After which a few riot police storm in with their guns pointed at us.

"PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD AND ON YOUR KNEES DO IT NOW!" One of the cops yell at us.

We obey immediately. I find this strange as this happened the other time I was asleep. Why is this event being played again?

One of the cops holster their weapon and put some handcuffs on my hands. Like before they feel quite cold and rather uncomfortable. He then pulls me up and we get dragged along the floor. The cop sounds like the interrogator from Black Ops just like before.

"Team Lastation, I'm arresting you lot for stealing PS3s and selling pirated games. You lot have the right to remain silent, but anything you guys do say may harm your defence, if you lot do not mention when questioned something which you may later rely on in court. Anything you say may be given in evidence. OK take them to the police station where they'll be taken to court and face a free trial, not that you lot deserve one." The cop says with no remorse.

I remember the cop saying this before but this time we're accused of less crimes. My theory is that this is related to our karma in our HUD. Our karma has improved so therefore the crimes we're accused of are less, meaning they make out we're less evil.

We're now dragged into a van outside as we're thrown inside the back.

That is the last thing that happens before we wake up now, sweating and panting frantically, but not as much as before due to experiencing these dreams previously and getting used to them.

We're back in Noire's mansion sleeping in the octuplet bed. We all feel safe and comfortable now knowing we're all close together, our bodies still wrapped around each other. It worked, we were in the same dreams together.

"Hmm we're arrested but they're for less crimes, that's interesting." Noire observes.

"I wondered whether it was because I proved you're innocent, I mean that actually helped my karma." I say.

"Thing is we need to prove you're innocent now, but that will be extremely difficult to do." Noire replies to me.

"I bet Neptune and Nepgear will show up again, gonna try and brain wash us some more." Uni speaks sounding disgusted with the thought of them two appearing in our dreams again.

"I'll be interested to see what they come up with, though we've defeated them before and we'll do it again. Goodnight everyone, hope we're still in the same dreams together." I reply to them.

We all said our goodnights as we all went to sleep together in the warm. I feel extremely comfortable and privileged to be sleeping with them. I feel like I am heaven but once again I think we're going to be experiencing some hell from the devil herself Neptune.

Now I find myself in some warehouse with my hands cuffed at my back, being escorted by a couple of people.

The warehouse is rather big and consists of a few rooms mounted on a platform with stairs, as well as fork lift trucks left unattended in this area.

I also see Nisa there, a character from the series.

She has blue eyes and blue hair that is quite long. She wears large goggles over her hair, and wears some black revealing body suit with the zipper worn below her belly button. She also wears some sort of clothing over her chest. The suit consists of red and blue lines on the side. She also wears a long red scarf as well as some blue backpack.

I remember Nisa now, how much I found her over top and annoying. She never really did anything when the CPUs fought each other to the death. And what justice did she serve when my own CPUs were being fought, humiliated, villainised and defeated.

I never liked what she represented. I knew her company was lousy, having a forum full of incompetent administrators, that never did anything about the bullying that happened. Not least allowing a topic about paedophiles on there for a few years.

There's more, they ruined video games with their censorship, and they did so constantly for no valid reason. Nisa is a phony and I hate what she stands for.

With this said it is strange to see her here, but then again Noire did say how she moved to Neutral land and became corrupt, helping criminals instead of the innocent citizens. Very disgusting and proves that she is not the super heroine she claims to be.

The other people there are dressed in super hero attire, as it consists of purple gauntlet gloves, purple pants, short purple boots, as well as a purple top and eye masks, along with a purple cape. Somehow I doubt they're super and I doubt they're really heroes.

I have no memories at all of this place making me think that this is a nightmare, as we walk up some stairs through a corridor and then into an office. Although it is weird for me to be here and still in my handcuffs, what is the significance of this place? I've never been here before.

The office is pretty bare, with only a table, a couple of chairs as well as a notice board full of various papers.

Nisa places me on a seat, as she takes a seat opposite me. I see what I'm guessing is evidence on the table nearby. I wonder what she's going to do me. But despite this I remain calm, as I'm sure I'll find a way to break free and get out of here.

"Some time ago, you and your friends spent a night in this abandoned warehouse. A day later your friends, one of them called White have disappeared. A day after that, 3 CPUs from my nation were kidnapped, their locations are still unknown. Where have you taken them?" Nisa speaks like an interrogator.

I'm guessing she means Plutia, Nepgear and Neptune but how would I know? I have no recollection of events here before meeting Noire in her car. It's strange to hear Nisa telling me this though, I remember Noire being told that I did this when we dreamt last night. Maybe instead of telling me what Noire supposedly did, being as it didn't work, they tell me what I supposedly did. Could Nisa be here for tonight's dreams instead of Nepgear and Neptune?

"Now listen, you kidnapping them has caused war throughout all of Gameindustri. The Planeptune CPUs were going to negotiate peace in hopes of restoring Planeptune. Now if you're not a villain why the hell did you kidnap them?" Nisa speaks further.

Hmmm, somehow I doubt they would restore Planeptune after that negotiation.

"Who are you working for?" She asks me.

While I am working for Noire now, I had never idea at the time, I guessed maybe Lastation. I refuse to give her any information.

"I dunno." I say although to be fair I'm not really sure.

"Now on the day those CPUs were kidnapped, a witness noticed an extremely powerful male. The male was able to knock them all out with such efficiency, and such skill carrying very deadly weaponry, the likes of which we have never seen in Planeptune.

Now only a CPU would have the ability and power to pull of something like that, as well as providing such weaponry.

Now I want to know from you. Who are you working for? Lastation? Lowee? Or Leanbox? Or maybe somebody else? Tell me 6 done 1 too many. What does it mean?

I have no idea, but I then get a flashback on a bus, the same bus from my other dream.

"I tell you right now this is fun all the teams together. This is my debut, Green from…" He speaks. He was the muscular one with the mid length hair who tried to stop the bus, again the place name got censored.

"Vert….."

"Chika…"

I hear those 2 say their names as well as their place, but for some reason it got censored. I remember the name Chika. She was Vert's Oracle but I don't remember anything else.

"Yay yay." Green responds with fire in his belly.

"I wish you good luck Team Leanbox, we have done well. White…" White was there again, she was smiling seeing us all together.

"Yay I'm Ram from….."

"I'm Rom from…."

"And I'm Blanc from….."

"All of us together, hey I'm Uni from…"

"Noire from….." she speaks with much patriotism.

"I'm Black from…. And may I say how wonderful it is that we're all here and may the best team win."
Everyone cheers after I speak.

The flash back is over as Nisa now gets up and comes up close to me.

"Who are you?" She asks quite aggressively.

"You want to know who I am? I want to know who I am." I reply, with some truth as I know my name but not my origin. I just knew I was with Noire and Uni.

Nisa then shows me some passports.

"We've found 24 different passports, that's 4 for each of you. Why? Where are your friends, who are your friends." She asks me.

She then grabs me and places me at the table quite harshly.

"Well it is pointless for a villain, to cover for their partners in crime. And if you think that you're in trouble now, you don't know the super heroine of justice. Talk to me, now." Nisa says with such menace.

"I dunno where they are." I reply to that joke and that is the honest truth.

She then throws me off, I'm barely able to stand.

"Super justice flying kick!" Nisa announces her move.

She somehow flies in the air as she kicks me really hard in the stomach, only for me to fall with my back hitting the wall. She'll pay for that.

"I'll give you some credit, you're very tough even for a villain. But I have dealt with evil villains before, and I know ways to make villains like you submit." Nisa says to me with menace.

"I'm waiting for you to talk to me now." Nisa says with irritation, holding her hand by her ear as if she's listening for me.

"Look, I've already said I have amnesia. How do you expect me to know when I have no memory what so ever?" I say panting.

"The way you're talking to me, you will no longer have to worry about your memory. Understand?" She replies with no remorse.

I get the picture but I'd like to see her try and do anything, as I try and look for a way out.

"Charge this villain for kidnapping, espionage and possible murder, as well as being an evil villain to justice. If any of his friends arrive I'd like a little chat with them. Keep him here, let him have a seat so I can get him transferred to prison. In the meantime I'll interrogate Noire, find out why has she has not been looking after her nation properly." Nisa says as she leaves.

Noire's here, I'll need to rescue her as soon as I can. But I need to find a strategy and quick, I just hope my CPU is alright.

One of the guards then places me on a chair and then stands in front of me grinning with menace.

I then look around observing the room, the guards as well as their positions so I can determine how to free myself. I learn there's 1 in front of me, 1 at the back behind my chair and 2 to my left with their backs to the corner.

I then go on automatic again….

First trip up guard in front then kick guard behind, then kick the chairs at the two guys. Chance of success: likely.

Suddenly I then quickly trip up the person in front, by swooping him over with my left leg, causing him to tumble hard on his back. Next with no hesitation I kick the person behind me hard with my right leg while sitting, the kick knocks him out cold as he falls backward to the floor.

I see the other 2 in the corner, one charges at me out of panic, while the other tries to get on his walkie talkie, desperate to call for assistance. I quickly get up from the chair, kicking the chair I sat on quite high. This hits him in the head knocking him out. I then kick the other chair at the one with the walkie talkie.

"Help I need help….." The guard says panicking.

Of course before he could say anymore, the chair hits him in the stomach causing him to drop his walkie talkie. I quickly head to him and kick the walkie talkie away, so he can't get it. He tries to reach for his gun slowly, but I go behind him and kick him in the back of his head, knocking him out.

So I guess that since brainwashing by appearing sympathetic didn't work, they try interrogating me and try to convince me I'm evil when I'm not.

I manage to find some keys from one of the guards, and I managed to open the handcuffs. It's good to be able to use my arms now, and it is such a relief to be able to see my own hands.

I decide to pick up a couple of guns and a walkie talkie. They're actually M1911s but I've noticed I have no HUD, although I still managed to take out the guards with ease. OK now where did Nisa go? And how am I going to rescue Noire and Uni without either of them dying? And how am I going to capture and interrogate Nisa? Hmmmm.

Note: Readers please listen to Black Ops 2 OST Hidden while reading this bit:

There is only one exit to this room, which was where Nisa left. I peer through the entrance and see a corridor, there's no one there but there is a laundry cart full of washing.

I open the door slowly and then get in the laundry cart. Though they're quite smelly, I don't mind as the amount of clothes can help to cover me.

I look out to see if there's anyone, but I cannot see any guards. I can hear footsteps however, so I quickly bury myself in the laundry. I also hear Nisa interrogating Noire down the corridor. It sickens me but I hope that's she not injured and she can be free really soon. It would bring me so much grief if Nisa laid just one hand on my goddess.

"So you think you're better than Purple Heart, do you villain?" Nisa yells.

"I don't think I'm better, I know I'm better than Purple Heart." Noire replies.

Soon I find the trolley being pushed closer to Noire's location. Good the person pushing does not suspect me.

"If you're better? Why do you not take care of your landmass? You know why do you turn a blind eye to your Avenir, you evil villain?" Nisa asks with plenty of aggression.

"Avenir doesn't even exist you idiot. Your CPU is a villain and so are you for turning against the citizens of Gameindustri." Noire responds with much sarcasm and disgust.

I find this strange, I was told what Noire was told last night about what I did. And just now Noire was told what I was told last night about what she did. Strange indeed but at least with this I know Noire is innocent, they're probably trying to brain wash us again.

"Keep the villain in check I will interrogate Uni, maybe she'll talk when I get back after making Uni suffer." Nisa says.

I hear someone walk out the door, I'm assuming it's Nisa.

"She's innocent like us we have nothing to say!" Noire replies with defiance in her voice.

It must be hard for Noire to swallow the fact that Nisa will interrogate her younger sister, but I know how strong Uni is. I admire her for not letting Nisa's act break her though. Don't worry I'm coming sisters.

By this time I'm outside the room where Noire is being held prisoner. I look outside carefully and slowly, only to find one person entering the room. He must have pushed the trolley. I quickly and quietly get out, M1911 in my right hand before I swiftly and silently approach him.

"Excuse me…urgh." The trolley person says before I get him.

Now I have my gun pressed against his head, as he's standing in the room by the door.

"Nobody moves, or this fool gets it." I yell.

I see one of them to my right about to charge towards me, so I shoot him in the head being as he has a knife in his right hand. I then press the gun to my hostage's head.

"Oh no, it looks like we are in jeopardy…." The trolley person speaks in a distinctive tone, like a narrator in a super hero cartoon.

"Shut up!" I yell as I shove the gun in his head as hard as I could.

I look around the room quickly to make sure they're not about to make a move against me. I can see 3 people in the room with Noire. There's one to the left with a shotgun, one behind Noire and another to the right. The left and right people are lowering their weapons, but the one in the middle has their gun pointing at Noire's head. Oh dear, I hope he doesn't shoot Noire, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of surrender. What to do, what to do.

"But thankfully one of our brave citizens…." The annoying trolley man continues.

I thought I reached a worrying stalemate, as they had Noire and I had one of theirs at gun point. But Noire then faints falling to the floor, so I shoot the one in the middle in the head. She then winks at me as an indication she's OK and she faked the faint before lying still, and trying not to move a muscle.

"I already shot two people for disobeying me, do you want to make it a third huh?" I yell at them.

"Black, hostage has knife in his hand LOOK OUT!" Noire warns me.

I quickly shoot my hostage in the head. They then try to grab their guns, but I shoot them both quickly and successfully.

I look outside in the corridors, relieved to see no one has heard the noises of the gunshots and yelling. I walk to Noire noticing she's in her human Victory form, before getting out the handcuff keys and opening her cuffs.

"You OK Noire?" I ask her.

"Yeah thanks for rescuing me my brother." She smiles, very grateful for her rescue.

"Likewise Noire, you helped me out there breaking the stalemate." I reply smiling to her.

"I'm curious that Nisa has tried to tell me how I was responsible for Avenir, and yet you have proved I was innocent." She thought aloud.

"Yeah she told me that I was responsible for kidnapping the Planeptune CPUs. Maybe they're getting desperate." I reply, my voice indicating how unimpressed I am with them.

"Some justice she represents, we're not villains. Now let's go rescue Uni. If Nisa lays a finger on my sister she'll get it the traitor." She says to me speaking with a bit of anger in her voice which is very understandable.

I can't blame her and I hope Uni will be alright, it would devastate me if she even had one minor injury from that phony.

Noire quickly picks up 2 M1911s and holds them both, 1 in each hand. I couldn't help but be amused how it goes with her hairstyle. I decide to pick up the shotgun which is a Winchester Model 1887. We both pick up a couple of knives as well.

After getting to have a good look at her, I'm relieved that Noire is OK. She has no cuts or anything. I'm also relieved I wouldn't have to carry her, and see her head move up and down like a galloping horse in slow motion, needing to rely on a helicopter to pick us up.

I look around this room only to find it has 2 exits. We choose to go to the exit that Nisa went to, hoping that we can track her down. As we exit I find it a relief that Nisa could only have gone one way. Thing is though as we go along the basic wooden corridor, there are various rooms that Uni could be held.

We try our best checking each room, by looking through the windows of the doors while making sure we would not be discovered by them. But unfortunately we find she's not in any of those rooms. It doesn't help that we can't hear her at all. Though this concerns me, I will not give up finding our younger sister. She's got to be around here somewhere.

We see an office at the end of the corridor, and to the right some stairs. The door to the office is open, so we head inside slowly and quietly. After checking the office among a desk, an old computer and a filing cabinet, we have only found two people standing there looking out of a window with their backs to us.

Hmmm, if we were to kill them there, someone may notice. Noire must be way ahead of me as she decides to knock on the door very loudly.

"You may enter citizen, the door is open." The guard yells.

Noire knocks on the door again.

"Citizen? I'll go see who is there." The guard says. I can tell from his voice he's suspicious, probably annoyed with the person knocking.

One of them then walks away from the window, as he walks towards the door. Noire then jumps out throwing a knife at the guard's neck, killing him instantly with no noise.

The other one however becomes suspicious, but fortunately he was stupid enough to come closer to his dead comrade. I throw a knife at him which hits his neck.

Nothing on the walkie talkie, that means we killed them both without alerting the others.

I'm pleased they carried small arms as well. Now I have a Springfield 03 sniper rifle, while Noire has an Stg44 assault rifle.

We then creep up to the window, this is where we see Uni in another room. She's sitting there as Nisa interrogates her, along with a couple of guards. Suddenly though Nisa leaves only for Uni to have her head down, she's probably worried and thinking about how is she going to get out.

As I look elsewhere outside the window there is a floor below, and it's clear that this room and the other room is quite high up with some distance to it.

"Hey Black I've found a rope gun we can use, as well as two zip lines. We can go rescue Uni using this Deus ex Machina." Noire whispers to me.

Hmmm. When she puts it like that it does baffle me as to why there'd be a rope gun lying around, but none the less it'll be useful.

"Good idea. OK I'll take the one on the left, you take the one on the right." I whisper back.

We open our window a little bit, before lining up our shots at the guards that now overlook the window. At the same time to a count of 3 we both take them down, our shots manage to make their glass completely shatter. After which we waste no time in opening our window, as I fire the rope gun at that room. It's not long before we are then sliding down the rope, using the zip lines.

Before we know it we go through that window and drop down. We hope that the noise has not attracted their attention.

"Noire, Black it's so good to see you. Thank you so much for rescuing me." Uni speaks with glee.

"No problem let's go get that traitor Nisa! She'll pay for her crimes!" Noire yells.

I undo Uni's handcuffs, while Noire grabs an Uzi from the dead guard passing it to her younger sister.

I then find 2 HS10 shotguns from the other dead guard, and give them both to Noire. I then give the Springfield to Uni, while Noire then decides to give me the Stg44.

We quickly arm ourselves with the weapons we have, making sure we're armed and the guns are loaded: Uni has her Uzi out, Noire has her HS10s out which I think goes with her hairstyle very well, while I have my Winchester in my left hand and my Stg44 in my right. I remember the Winchester to be lever action, so that means I can just use one hand and twirl the gun after I've fired the weapon.

I then see a guard enter the room by the time we're ready.

"DON'T ENTER NISA!" the guard yells but Noire shoots him down.

He falls on his back as the shotgun shell knocks him over. With a lot of force he hits the wall with his back.

I then hear footsteps as we rush outside.

Time to track Nisa down, time to bring her to justice for her crimes, for being behind our brain washing, for having the audacity to interrogate us with her propaganda, and for what she's done as a corrupt officer on the beat in Planeptune, we will find her and we will get answers from her.

Although I acknowledge it may not be easy, as we are in a nightmare and we don't have our advantages. Our faith and confidence in each other will help us succeed, in bring Nisa the so called heroine of justice to justice.
