Chapter 27: Black and White again.
Note: Readers please listen to Black Ops 2 Main Menu Theme
I had a wonderful drive in Noire's car as I found the quickest route through her metropolis, and then through the various prosperous forests and jungles as well as some picturesque hills, that allowed me to see some pleasant views of the Lastation countryside. I felt being in one of my homes when I'm actually driving here, as I enjoy being able to drive fast, and get to see more of what wonderful sights this glorious nation has to offer. The views are certainly breath taking, as I've even seen a few nice resorts and beaches along the way.
Although the morning did not go well with regards finding out any useful information, I actually felt more optimistic as now I feel I may be starting to have a plan in motion, of tackling this issue with having to kill my sisters. I must admit how pleased I am to see White here, assuming of course she is who she says she is. Not least that it's nice to meet a counterpart so to speak, in how she brought up her sisters including Blanc, just as I did with mine.
It is now I have arrived at the Lastation/Lowee border in Noire's Bugatti Veyron where we agreed to meet. I must admit after seeing the picturesque views and trying to be positive, I do have a lot on my mind regarding whether my plan I'm considering to use could work, and whether I will meet White or some trap from the enemy?
I stop her car waiting for White to show up. I then see a White sports car which looks heavily customised moving at very high speed. It's a Nissan GTR only this particular model is quite small, with big exhausts on either side like on a fat boy motorbike. The car paintwork consists of pictures of White Heart (the CPU of Lowee in HDD form) from mk2 on the sides, and the Wii Logo on the front. The colour scheme is white and light blue, there's a heavily customised roof along with spoilers, wing mirrors and the sides. There's pulse neon lights only it's white along with white sirens. The engine from that car is very loud.
I feel that car suits Blanc very well, just as my car suits Noire as it has the looks as well as a sophisticated engine sound, going very fast. Plus it has a lot of technology and sophisticated stuff on board. I wonder what stuff is in that car which I believe to be White's or Blanc's car.
The car then reaches where I am and stops. I notice in my HUD the words Blanc's car written in green. I see the driver through the white glass, it's White. Phew what a relief it is her, I just hope she hasn't been brainwashed. At least it's not a trap, we could do with some help.
She's in the same clothes as I remember from before, and she gets out of the car. I do the same while she notices me.
We both rush out to meet each other, as we're both really happy to see each other, it's been quite a while. It's a relief that the word White next to her is in green. I think she's not affected by the brainwashing, thank heavens for that, A Loweean ally. This looks promising as regards what I hope to achieve with Lowee.
"White it's so good to see you again." I say to her smiling.
"Same here." She replies to me.
"Do you know how you got here because while Noire and Uni remember you, they've not encountered you at all here?" I ask her.
"I'm afraid not no, all I remember is appearing here and only having my Nintendo DS plus with me, and I have amnesia. Blanc then picked me up and took me to Wii City, in particular her home which is a large extravagant castle full of Pokémon. She's very pleased to see me." White explains to me.
"Interesting how you came here the same way as me." I say to her.
"Pika…pika…pika….pika." I recognise the voice. It's Pikachu and it's coming from White's car.
The yellow mouse with red spots on its face and black ears and tail, then comes out of the car and rushes to White, and it sits with a smile on its face, it even waves to me.
I remember having fun playing Pokémon, trying to catch them all when I was younger. I never thought I'd see one but being as Pokémon is from Nintendo and it's from Lowee, I guess it makes sense.
"Is Pikachu your Pokémon?" I ask her.
"No he belongs to Blanc, she also let me use her car and Pikachu powers this car with his electricity.
Your car looks very nice." She explains to me.
"Yeah it's very fast, it also contains all sorts of future proof gadgets and it runs on renewable energy. Thing is it's actually Noire's car.
Yeah Lastation is a wonderful place, I find Noire to be an amazing leader full of technology that makes the nation an ideal place." I explain to her.
White smiled as I could tell she's impressed. But as I explain to her about Lastation, I can't help but wonder what's Lowee like, especially Blanc right now?
"Out of curiosity did Blanc explain anything to you about Lowee?" I ask her.
"She said Lowee and Planeptune were formed in the first console war, Planeptune declared war on Lowee many times. Although Lowee managed to keep Planeptune at bay, Planeptune could never be defeated.
When the 5th generation came, a new nation was formed which is the one you support Black: Lastation. Soon Blanc remembered Noire and Uni so they formed an alliance against Planeptune.
When Planeptune was defeated Noire, Uni, Blanc, Rom and Ram arrived, but sadly Blanc and her sisters got brainwashed. They were forced to declare war on Lastation because if they didn't, she'll be brain washed to kill them." White now looked understandably upset.
"It's OK, at least I now know for sure that Blanc was forced. How is Blanc?" I speak with reassurance.
"After the 5th generation was over, Blanc and her sisters had much trouble fighting the brainwashing. The brain washing tried to make them become terrible, more corrupt leaders; it even tried to make them become dictators, being horrible to their people and the Pokémon's. They even had a hard time trying not to fight Lastation at all.
Fortunately they were able to keep the brain washing under control but only barely. It has taken such a great toll, and were it not for their defiance to the brain washing, Lowee could be in a much more terrible state then it is now.
At around the time you came along, Blanc and her sisters felt much better and they felt they were able to do more good for Lowee.
When I arrived Blanc was back to her usual pleasant, calm self. She swears but she's her nice, pleasant self..." White explains.
Interesting, I find it rather fascinating how my mere presence is able to control how the CPUs are. I've noticed this with Noire and now it seems to be the case with Blanc. But could it be that they were like that anyway, and somehow my presence has helped fight the brainwashing, perhaps due to my faith in them?
"…She says she has to remain at war with Lastation, or face terrible consequences. That being said she wishes to still be friends with Noire, and will not fight Lastation. And she's willing to go so far as to even help you lot, if the brain washing permits it.
Unfortunately no one from Lastation can come to Lowee, and likewise. In fact the only way for Lastation to speak to Lowee or vice versa is through us two.
There is one thing that really upsets Blanc though: it's the fact that last night she had a nightmare where herself and Rom and Ram encountered Nepgear, Neptune and Plutia. Nepgear explained about the Deity of Sin and how it's coming, the only way you can kill it is by sacrifice of the CPUs.
Only 1 is allowed to survive out of Blanc, Rom and Ram. Worse still is the survivor will apparently be forced to face all 3 Planeptune CPUs, and one Lastation CPU. It's horrible." White explains. I can see she's concerned and I'm putting it mildly here.
But it intrigues me to know that they had similar nightmares. It still pleases me to know that perhaps Blanc will be happy to be our ally in secret from Lowee. But I wonder if I can come up with something better, I'll have to see. I need to see about stopping the killing of our CPUs first.
"I had the same dream too, only for Lastation it's either me, Noire or Uni that can survive. Does Blanc know whether the Deity of Sin or the Gehaburn exists or not?" I ask her.
"She's convinced they don't exist, oh dear this is Conquest Ending and Victory Lowee arc all over again." She says with sadness and frustration.
I know how much she hates the idea of fighting her own CPUs, as do I. But at least Blanc has confirmed that perhaps there is no Arfoire, and it's about them trying to destroy Lastation and Lowee.
"I know, I'm not convinced they're doing it to save Gameindustri. Unless their definition of saving Gameindustri is getting rid of Lastation and Lowee. We can't let that happen though." I say with determination.
"But do you have any ideas because I don't right now. How are we going to sort this out when we have no choice but to kill our own CPUs? Not to mention when the killings are done the survivors have to face each other, this will mean one of our nations will die, most likely mine." She says trying to stay strong, but I can sense her sadness in her voice as well as in her body language.
"We'll try and think of something, I may have some sort of plan already. Planeptune wants us to fight each other, we need to avoid that at all costs. Anyway thanks for inviting me here, as well as telling me useful information about Lowee. For now our nations are at least at peace now even if it's in secret, we'll keep in touch. It's too bad we can't visit each other's nations, we need to sort that out.
Anyway I'll see you later White, it's nice meeting you again. Here take these bottles for the CPUs, the people and one for yourself." I say to her before giving her crates of bottles from my car.
"Aww thanks for the bottles I'm sure they'll be nice. And it's nice meeting you too, goodbye my friend." She says waving after taking the case from me.
I go back to my car as Pikachu does a wave; she takes Pikachu back into the car, where the electric mouse uses its electricity to power the vehicle. The sports car bellows as it heads back to Lowee.
I drive back the way I came from that meeting spot, enjoying the same views on the way back which were too good to only see once. As I go through the hills, the valleys, the forests and jungles I feel even more optimistic. I feel more positive after knowing that not only was it White, but it's also good to know that as we thought Blanc still sees us as her friend.
With that said it does pain me to know what her brainwashing is forcing her to do to her own landmass. I can't begin to imagine how Lowee once was compared to how it is now. It would be nice for Noire and Blanc to unite, but I'll have to find a way. Though unfortunately there is the matter of avoiding the killing of our CPUs. Though I'm not 100% sure if my idea could work, I at least feel that there is a strategy in place. I must admit I'm unsure if I feel more positive now, than earlier this morning when we got up.
If anything I realise that all I can do is my best with the plan and just try to enjoy what time I have left here, if the worse should happen. But the very thought of me having to do that deed sickens me, as the time moves closer and closer to the time I have to do the deed.
Eventually after enjoying the journey back home as best I could, I find myself in the metropolis, being reminded by the bill boards and lights of Lastation and it's leaders, being reminded of how much I love them all, yet how I will possibly be forced to destroy them with my own hands. My love for this place does not make it feel easy for me at all whatsoever.
I even get this when I finally reach Noire's own grand home, when I go up the lifts and watch the view of this place. This place that could turn into chaos in one night. This is not the mood I want to have in this place, as I get increasingly depressed over the thought of it.
When I reach the all afternoon party which continues on to dinner time, where we have the same food as before as requested by the people, we decide it's best not to discuss about what happened with White, even if it's good news, even if it's by telepathy. As it's for the best that we enjoy what could be our last meal together. But as frustrating as it is for me, the awesomeness of the food and company, as well as how delicious it is can do nothing to stop my worrying, as it's almost time. Almost time to see if my plan could work. Though I do a good job in not showing it and I even try my best to enjoy myself here, I think my sisters can tell I'm so stressed. They themselves exhibit the same symptoms in their body language, while they try to numb the emotional pain by enjoying themselves extravagantly.
Fortunately I manage to enjoy myself for what could be one last time for a short while, and enjoy what I can of this great time we're having with our people. I see the same with our sisters as we do different activities like swimming and playing water sports. We also go on the water slides a few times and look at the spectacular view. We even take photographs together of ourselves and the troops, and those fun activities are just the start of what we do. We do other fun stuff such as karaoke with music that is loud and fantastic, as well as doing different dances to it. It amazes me how talented Noire is as she dances in quite the alluring manner.
But sooner or later this fun party is to end, as it becomes time for us to go to bed. But what does please us is leaving the people happy. If we have to die with Lastation then at least we can die happy together. No it will not be the last day, we will continue to celebrate and enjoy ourselves when appropriate, and no one will stop us from doing so. I need to stay positive we will get through this and we will all live to see a long time pass.
Note: Readers please listen to Medal of Honor Underground Tobruk while reading this:
After a day of stress from dealing with the situation, as well as trying to enjoy ourselves as best we can with what we had, I'm now in bed with Noire and Uni together for what could be our very last time. But I hope it won't be and I'm sure it won't. We decide that now is the best time to talk about my meeting with White, talking by mind talk that is.
"So how did the conversation with White go Black?" Noire asks me sounding optimistic.
"It went well my sister. She confirmed our suspicions that Blanc fought against us against her own free will, and if possible she's more than willing to help us out. She informed me that Blanc has had similar dreams to us." I explain.
This brings a large smile to Noire's face. It must be brilliant to know after all this time, the war was down to someone else not Blanc, but it must be a great big shame to find that there has been a lot of time that was spent, on them being forced apart. I suppose what would make it complete is if they both could see each other again, I'd love to see that. I'll have to find a way to make that a reality hmmm. But whatever happens at least we have made some progress, with regards to ending the war between Lastation and Lowee.
"I'm pleased to hear that Blanc is not our enemy now, she's still our friend. It's good to know that this war between Lowee is a fake." Noire says by mind talk while smiling.
She even giggles afterwards, before giving me a quick kiss and a hug in excitement which I appreciate very much.
"But the thing is the only way of communicating with them, is for me to meet up with White at the border. Unfortunately there is no way anyone from Lastation can visit because officially we're still at war with each other, and Blanc has no other choice with that matter unfortunately." I mind talk.
"It's tragic that she's been brainwashed. At least she hasn't turned on us that's a good thing, we have far too many enemies as it is. I figured it would be the case, it would explain why we never actually fought Lowee, despite being at war with them." Noire replies by mind talk.
"Yeah even though she's alright now, the brain washing has taken its toll. I admire their strength and defiance, were it not for that Lowee would probably be in a poorer shape than it is now. But it does worry me about them, and I wish there's a way to help them out.
Thing is Blanc had the same nightmare, but like us she's not convinced that there is a deity of sin or a Gehaburn." I explain by mind talk.
"The thing is it's a real shame that either Lowee or Lastation could fall tonight, they're both wonderful landmasses and tragically we didn't even get to go to Lowee. I'd love to see what it's like especially when it's all nice before Blanc got brainwashed." Uni mind talks.
I agree with everything that Uni has just said. I have seen for myself that Noire and Uni are such wonderful leaders, and everything in Lastation is so idealistic. I've seen their passion, their desires and their love as well as how they use tender, love and care to ensure Lastation is a wonderful place. There's no crime, no extinctions, no pollutions, no poverty, no disease and no hatred.
I can then see the both of them trying hard to keep their tears at bay, I admire them both a lot as this is not an easy situation to be in.
"If Planeptune thinks I will play their silly game, they've got another thing coming, I promise we will get Planeptune for this. They'll pay for this, that I'm certain." I vow.
"We know you'll make us proud, we love you very much." Noire says with much passion and love.
We all have a long hug as we get to enjoy the powerful bond we have for one last time. I'll never forget how warm both of them are both physically and metaphorically, and how much we all enjoy doing these hugs. They show how much we care for one another and how strong our love is for each other. They're also really fun to do and I must admit one of my fantasies is giving them both a hug because I love them that much. I'll never forget how they're both such amazing sisters.
I won't forget how flawless Noire's beauty really is, as my eyes get to see how shiny, layered and long her white hair is, as it covers her back and the backs of her thighs like a cape numerous times. As well as my hands getting to feel how soft and silky her hair is when I hug her, plus which it's untied and her bangs look lovely, as her hair covers her cheeks and her fore head.
I won't forget how she had such a wonderful body, with nice long sexy legs that ensures her height matches mine, nor will I forget her nice large womanhood along with her but. I'll never forget how her eyes are nice and green, with a power symbol showing how she's good and always on, they show much love and kindness. I'll always remember how she's always smiling, and laughing and flirting with me. I won't forget how I loved her plug suit which was black and white/silver, and how she looked extremely attractive wearing it, not to mention looking so cool and badass as she resembled the PlayStation colours with pride.
Nor will I forget how awesome she smells as it's full of different smells that I like, that are all combined together to make the best scent in my opinion. It always makes me feel warm inside, and it's a fragrance I'll always remember and it will always remind me of her. What makes the smells even more special was how Noire has once told me about always smelling of perfume that consists of smells that I love and appreciate, even ones that I've never encountered before. In fact she wears special perfume that is capable of smelling in different ways, depending on the person's favourite smells. Well for enemies the perfume emits no fragrances what so ever. The technology behind the perfume amazes me even now and is extremely useful, meaning that the perfume can be worn without any objections.
But it's not just her beauty that I won't forget, it's her intelligence of being able to make Lastation powerful and flawless, her kindness which brings joy to her people, and her strong morals which means she works very hard to ensure Lastation is strong but good. Not a single thing is wrong with Lastation because of her. She's very proud of herself and her nation, and is even a lot of fun to be around. I have no complaints about Noire whatsoever. She's flawless, she's the ideal goddess.
I won't forget Uni either, I know she'll grow up to be exactly like Noire. She'll be as attractive, as smart, as kind and as proud as her. I won't forget how she's an excellent shot, and excellent with computers and providing sniper support. I love how she helps her sister out.
In fact I can ask for no better sisters than those two. Though sadly I may no longer see them again. We reluctantly and slowly let go as I get up, with my gun drawn.
"I hope this works. I love you two very much." I say with genuine love.
I take one last long look at the both of them, so I can make sure I remember them smiling and being warm before I close my eyes.
After shooting twice I go to bed and get some sleep. I hope it works as I love the two of them very much.
