Chapter 33: Mayhem
...The purple blinding light vanishes and now I appear to be in some place with a distinctive theme.
There is a town in the middle of some desert, which appears to be just a street with shops, saloons, a jail and a bank. It looks quite cartoony and I find that I'm at one end of the street, and Neptune is at the other side. Well I say Neptune but it's a guess as all I see is a worm from Worms. This worm has short spiky purple hair covering her fringe and sides. The creature is pulling silly faces at me, as if to taunt me but it's in vain. So this is what Neptune has decided, I find this interesting how she chose a PlayStation based game rather than a Sega game before, and now this time she picked a game available on both consoles. I think it's appropriate that she's turned herself into a worm. She's got the silly characteristics as well.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised with how we managed to stop them before, despite losing a few lives. It certainly went better than expected, but have we seen the best they can do or were they going easy on us? Can me, Noire and Uni defeat them in this place where they seem to have control? Speaking of which where are my sisters, I hope they haven't done anything bad to them?
The worm then speaks to me though two things surprise me 1. I can hear the worm clearly despite how far away she is, and 2. It's not meme mememememe.
"Eheeheeheeheehee, you're now a worm, it suits you. Now I'll beat you, target: Black." The worm speaks in a distinctive voice, it sounded like the English default voice from Worms 2.
At least the voice suits her as before, her HDD voice may suggest she's sophisticated but she's not sophisticated at all, not in the slightest.
I can be sure it's Neptune now, with how she spoke as well as her appearance. I then look at my hands and notice that I don't have any arms. They're just hands floating in the air, they remind me of the main character from Rayman, I can control them but they look really weird.
"I'm gonna getcha for that. You wanna play worms, let's play worms but I tell you right now you won't win, and you'll be dead by the time I'm done with you." I speak back; my voice has changed to sound like the soul man from Worms 2.
Hmmm that's the voice I always pick for my worms when playing the game. I'll always have fond memories of playing this game, hopefully I can win with what knowledge I have.
"Eheeheeheeheehee, you'll regret that. Come on then, Nepgear, Plutia let's get them. But I'll go first so I suggest my buddies you take cover!" Neptune says sounding quite happy with herself. Hopefully this will change.
Note: Readers please listen to Worms 2 Swim like a brick while reading this:
The HUD changes as I see two boxes above Neptune's head, the first box says Neptune and the 2nd box below says 1000. The writing is written in purple and there's also information at the bottom of my HUD. This says Team Planeptune written in purple along with a purple bar which is very long. Directly beneath it, it says Team Lastation written in black, along with a black bar which is the same length as the purple bar above. There's also a timer surrounded in purple to the bottom left of the HUD, the time which started at 99 seconds is already ticking away. There's also a bar which displays wind velocity, which right now is in purple and it is 50% in my direction.
By this time Neptune is moving slowly towards me making a constant squeaky noise. Eventually the timer reaches 10 and it beeps.
"Come on then." Neptune says aloud to herself.
She gets out a bazooka.
"Watch this." She announces.
The beeping stops as I could hear her charge the bazooka a little bit.
With a little bit of power, she fires it vertically into the air. It doesn't travel really far: about a metre but then the wind takes the projectile to another direction, towards me. The bazooka shell eventually hits me, as I was not allowed to move out of the way. Although I'll admit what difference would it make, considering my predicted speed as I'm now a worm. It hurts but not as much as I thought as my health depletes to 945.
"First blood." Neptune mocks me.
I shake my hand at her in anger as the black bar depletes a little bit.
"Yes Sir!" I say with pride as it's now my turn.
I look at the inventory and there doesn't seem to be much: 12 grenades, 10 bazookas, unlimited handgun, 4 shotguns, 2 Uzis and 3 sniper rifles, hmmm maybe we'll get more items later and hopefully I can use them to my advantage.
I'm not sure where the others are, I decide to just use my shotgun and so I take aim at Neptune and fire.
"OWW!" She says as the shot hits her, taking 25 health points away from her.
I pump the shotgun again as I shoot her again, hurting her once more. With that dome my turn is now over. She grunts as now her health is 950, the purple bar is now a bit longer than the black one.
"Like a stacked machine." I taunt her back.
I notice how the characters take control of all of us with the way we speak. If only I knew where everyone is, but there is still the issue of coming up with a strategy of defeating them. I realise now that as much as I hate to admit it, that might not be so easy because of how we all have the same weapons and they have the ability to fire or throw their projectiles accurately.
"Special Delivery." Plutia says sounding the same as Neptune, I figured she'd be next.
I think she's behind one of the buildings at the end of the street, where Team Planeptune is. The wind velocity changes again, with that knowledge she uses her bazooka and fires it into the air, away from the street. After picking up altitude the projectile then does a 180 degree turn due to the wind, it then flies across all the buildings until it reaches the end of the street, where Noire stood. The bazooka hits her at such an angle that she leaps backwards over some water behind the street. I was worried she'd land in the water because I knew she'd drown due to the physics of this game. Thankfully she lands on a tiny island only for there to be a mine there, oh great the mine beeps rapidly and then explodes, which pushes her quite close to the edge. I don't like this as I can potentially be one worm down already.
"You'll regret that." Noire says shaking her fist in defiance. She spoke with sophistication as she sounds like a smooth operator, it reminds me of Parasoul.
I'm relieved she's still alive but she took 125 damage, still at least it's her turn.
"Reinforcements have arrived." Noire speaks of the crate parachuted to her location.
She moves to the crate.
"Goodies." Noire says.
The item she picked up is Napalm strike. She switches to it and switches to air view as she observes the landscape, she finds Plutia in the view conveniently standing next to a few oil drums. With this knowledge she decides to use the napalm strike there, but making appropriate adjustments to the wind.
"Napalm shot, come in big bird." Noire says while holding a radio in her hand.
A jet fighter flies past dropping Napalm on Plutia's location, the flames then reach her and the oil drums. The fires burn the oil drums and cause them to explode, creating even more flames to harm Plutia.
"Ow ooh, oww, owww." Plutia moans in pain as she's jumping up and down, due to the numerous flames that burn her for quite a while.
"You had it coming." Noire speaks with pride.
Despite all that burning though, Plutia has 903 health which is a lot of health, even more than Noire who only has 875.
It's now Nepgear's turn and the wind velocity changes again. Right now she's across the street from where Plutia is, she moves as fast as her body can allow her towards the road. After that she then crosses the road to where Plutia is.
"Come on then." Nepgear says using the same voice as her allies.
The timer beeps but just before it reaches 0, she fires her bazooka across the street to our side. The bazooka hits the end of the roof where Uni is; the impact causes Uni to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Excellent." Nepgear says.
At this time Uni shakes her fist with anger as her health is reduced to 930.
It's Uni's turn now and she makes no hesitation with what she does, as she gets out her sniper rifle. She then takes aim at Nepgear, with her in Uni's sights she fires knocking Nepgear over, although it only does 40 damage.
"Amazing shot!" Uni speaks with pride sounding just like Noire.
It was an amazing shot considering how far away Nepgear was. Despite our best efforts though, I'm deeply considered with how well we're all doing. I mean all their attacks did more damage than ours, and Noire is close to some water and no equipment to help her get out, as of this point. I reckon Nepgear could have sent her to the bottom were it not for the wind, can we still win this? I'm not really sure.
This time there is no wind as Neptune takes her turn, but this doesn't seem to deter the Planeptune CPewww. I realise now that because we're dealing with CPUs they'll be able to calculate the angle, the direction and power of any trajectory weapon they use. It's all trajectory equations and they're bound to be good at them, I just know that Neptune will be able to send Noire into the sea drowning her unless... Thanks to video game magic I get out some cookies and just eat and eat and eat, with no concern of being full.
Neptune gets out her bazooka taking aim and applying the appropriate force, but just as she does this my cookies distract her. She then fires her bazooka in the air towards Noire, the rocket flies into the air towards Noire's direction. As it moves closer to Noire the rocket is travelling closer and closer to the ground, it's not long before the rocket is near my CPU's location. I just know the rocket will send Noire to the sea, but I breathe a sigh of relief: The rocket hits the water millimetres from Noire; she's safe, my distraction has worked.
"Ha you missed." Noire taunts.
Despite Noire surviving, she does need to get off that island ASAP. It will only be a matter of time before Team Planeptune succeeds in taking out Noire, giving them a tremendous advantage.
"How glory be." I say with pride.
I dunno why I said that although a crate has been dropped near my location, I am also pretty pleased that it is my turn now. The first thing I do is go to the crate, I then remember I could get there quicker by jumping towards the crate.
"Ha...ha...ha." I grunt as I jump along.
"Papa's got a brand new bag!" I yell as I have now acquired girders.
I go to the inventory and I'm pleased to know we have dynamite now, although unfortunately I only have 1. I switch to the girder and place it near the island as a makeshift bridge, for Noire to cross back to the mainland. All this has taken most of my time. I had hoped I could have put some dynamite near Plutia where I could have gotten Nepgear too, but there is no way I could do it now in time. All I can do now is attack Neptune, I shoot her with the Uzi causing 50 damage to her, reducing her health to 900 as well as pushing her back a bit.
"You'll regret that!" Neptune says as she shook her fist at me in anger.
"Yes Sir!" Says Plutia as it's now her turn.
The wind has gone for this turn. I breathe a sigh of relief as I don't see how they can harm Noire now, because Plutia is too far away. Unfortunately she now has a banana bomb, and I know that can cause a lot of damage. Worse still she switches to the very banana bomb, and with maximum force she throws it in my direction. The banana travels really fast and lands near me.
"Run away!" I yell knowing full well I couldn't move.
The banana explodes in my face, 4 more of them then spawn and land near me exploding when they land. My health depletes by a large amount, in fact my health is now 580 and I'm concerned I could die in this, in fact what would happen if it were the case? I'm also concerned we could lose this as I notice the black bar being quite a lot shorter than the purple bar.
"Excellent." Plutia brags as I shook my fist at her in anger.
"Yes Sir." Noire announces as it's now her turn.
A mine then falls from the sky and lands near an oil drum, both of those deadly hazards being within Neptune's area. Hmmm hopefully we can exploit this.
The first thing Noire does is jump towards the girder, after a few more jumps she's back on dry land. This pleases me to know that Noire is away from the deadly water, and she should be reasonably safe now. She jumps towards Neptune's location, upon looking at our inventory we now have 1 holy hand grenade. The time starts to beep as there is not much time now.
Noire decides to use the grenade and rather than throwing it, she drops the grenade near Neptune's location. It moves around a bit as it counts down: 5…,4…,3…,2…,1…..
"Hallelujah." The grenade says sounding like a choir.
It explodes and it doesn't just hit Neptune, but it sends her up in the air. Eventually she lands on that very mine that landed this turn. The mine beeps only to then explode causing the oil drum to burst. The oil gets burned and hurts Neptune causing her to say ow repeatedly, as she's standing on the flames and is unable to move. I found this to be an awesome display, by the time the flames go out a lot of damage has already been done. But despite her health being 675 now, it's still higher than mine and I find it frustrating that they're winning. Come on this tide needs to be turned and it needs to be turned now right now.
"Amazing shot." Noire says with pride, as Neptune shook her fist in anger.
I guess the shot was amazing, considering the grenade did not take a single health point from me, despite being pretty close to her location.
It's Nepgear's turn now and out of the blue a crate lands near her location. The wind is also blowing really fast, away from me towards Neptune. She jumps towards the crate and acquires an item from that very crate; the item is a mail strike. She switches to the mail strike and gets on the radio. Because she's a CPU Candidate, she is able to calculate the exact location to hit us, bearing in mind the wind velocity.
"Surprise." Nepgear says casually.
A jet plane flies above us and drops 5 letter bombs, they float towards the ground but also in Neptune's direction. 4 of the 5 letters hover over me but the 5th approaches Neptune. The letters all explode when they land, all of those 4 cause damage to me but that 5th one hits Neptune, amusing me just a little bit. While Neptune's health is now 625 as well as it being down to friendly fire, my health has dropped to 400 concerning me even more. Not to mention the black bar of ours decreasing further.
"Oi nutter!" Neptune says to Nepgear as she shook her fist in anger.
"Yes Sir!" Uni says as it's her turn now.
She looks at what we have in our inventory. It's a pity we now don't have any weapons that can do a lot of damage, which concerns me as we could do with such a weapon right now. Uni then switches to a bazooka and aims it at Neptune, ensuring the angle is correct.
"Fire!" Uni says as she charges her shot.
The rocket is then launched and after travelling the path of an arc, it hits Neptune. I'm pleased her being a CPU ensures her maths skills are flawless. I mean I don't know if I could have made that shot from where she was, far away from Neptune, but alas it's too bad her health is only reduced to 575.
"You'll regret that." Neptune remarks shaking her fists in anger.
Now it's Neptune's turn and the first thing she does is go to her inventory, she switches to the dynamite and there's only 1 left. After waiting some turns it's now available to them. She moves slowly towards me, making lots of squeaking noises as she moves across the ground. It's not long before Neptune is standing next to me, when she drops the dynamite next to me, laughing at me while she does it.
The dynamite sizzles as it counts down: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... there's nothing I could do as it explodes in my face. The explosion throws me up in the air and then throws me back into the ground.
"Just you wait!" I yell to Neptune after my health being reduced to 325.
Oh god I hate being on low health, come on medical crates where are you?
"Yes Sir!" I yell as it's my turn.
I look at the inventory to see what weapons I could use, the only new one being a ninja rope. But I don't see how I could use it here, instead I switch to the Bazooka and just fire a regular shot. I just aimed at the purple haired joke and did maximum power, as expected her health reduces to 525.
"I gotcha." I taunt to Neptune.
A crate now hovers towards Plutia's location landing near her.
"Yes Sir!" Plutia says indicating her turn.
She moves along squeaking her way towards the crate. Upon reaching it she laughs as she acquires a baseball bat, after which she moves to Nepgear's location. It isn't long before she is standing next to Nepgear. She switches to the baseball bat and with that weapon she whacks Nepgear really hard with it, sending her flying towards us.
Eventually Nepgear lands on her belly, but then she gets up quickly full of anger as she shakes her fist.
"Oi Nutter!" She says to Plutia as her health is now 930.
I reckon Plutia did that on purpose, due to Nepgear's friendly fire at Neptune. This pleases me as not only have they wasted a turn, they also did a friendly fire without any harm towards us.
"Yes Sir!" Noire says with pride, her turn now.
Noire wastes no time, as all she does is fire her bazooka at Neptune bringing her health to 475. It's just like what I did in my previous turn, I just hope something can help us turn the tide be it weapon or a mystery crate, that causes misfortune to Team Planeptune after all our total health is lower than theirs by quite a lot.
"Leave me alone!" Neptune growls with anger, as we constantly target our attacks on her.
It's now Nepgear's turn, I was hoping she'd retaliate against Plutia, 1. Because then she'd harm Team Planeptune not Team Lastation and 2. From her perspective was it necessary for Plutia to punish Nepgear, due to accidental friendly fire?
Unfortunately Nepgear instead switches to a grenade, and so she uses her skills as CPU Candidate to calculate the angle of throwing the grenade, the total time the grenade will spend in flight, the power used to throw the grenade, as well as taking the wind velocity into account. After about a dozen seconds she aims and throws the grenade.
"Watch this." Nepgear says as she throws the grenade.
The timer on the grenade counts down as it flies in mid-air: 5 ,4 ,3 ,2 ,1 after which it's almost landed and it's next to me. At that point the grenade explodes in my face taking my health right down to 275. I'm gonna be the first worm to die I just know it.
"Just leave me be!" I yell in frustration as I am their marked worm, their target to take down.
Uni's turn now, it is frustratingly unfortunate that there are no crates in the map right now, let alone near her position. With that situation Uni does the same move as me and Noire; she just fires her bazooka at Neptune, and thanks to her calculation abilities as a CPU Candidate the rocket hits Neptune and takes her health to 425.
"I'll get you." She says with anger shaking her fist at Uni.
I just hope that something will happen that can turn the tide of this battle, I really do. Two mystery crates land near Neptune's location and I know she'll pick them up, I just hope that they will harm Team Planeptune rather than help them out. We need to win preferably with all 3 of us alive.
"Yes sir!" Neptune says as it's now her turn, she decides to move towards one of the mystery crates. It's not long before she reaches there, and it's then a message appears on our HUDs: "Mystery crates will now affect all teams in the match." That's interesting at least the effects will be a level playing field but we're all losing here. After which Neptune then heads for the other crate, upon reaching that one another message appears on our HUDs: "Transformation will be possible in 2 turns." I guess that means we could transform into our HDD forms, what would the effects be though? There never was any transformation in Worms, then again this is Neptune's version.
I don't even know if I could transform, then again what would I be like in HDD form assuming of course I actually can transform? I think it's fair to say that Neptune has more control of this game than us 3 combined. I mean it explains why she's winning as well as how convenient the crates and traps are, but we have managed to deal some damage to them, though why is that then? Maybe they intend to wipe us out via HDD the sadists.
Neptune then just fires a bazooka at me despite us both not being far away, the damage is predictable: my health is now 225.
It's now my turn. I could easily retaliate but I don't think I can last much longer, especially with them being able to transform really soon. I figure it's best to find somewhere where it's hard for them to hit me, maybe they'll even forget me if I'm lucky. I look at my inventory to see what utility weapons I have: all I have is a ninja rope unfortunately. Fortunately however there is a building with a roof, so I decide to fire the rope at the roof after moving towards it, when I'm in range.
When the ninja rope successfully hits the roof, I travel to the roof as quickly as I can. Just as well as when I look at the clock I see the seconds counting away, eventually I manage to land on the roof via ninja rope. When I land I let go and jump over to the other side of the roof, at this point I'm out of time meaning my turn is up.
I then realise that they could get me be it by air strike, or by a shot from a projectile if the wind is in their favour. In which case I wouldn't be surprised if that happens soon, but there's no going back now. I made my move, they'll be able to transform now, and all I can do is wait and see what they'll do in their HDD forms.
It's now Plutia's turn and the first thing she does is go to her inventory, and there she is able to transform and she does so. For some bizarre reason I can now see a cut scene of her transformation, I remember this being like that of Neptunia the first game. Initially I see writing in purple saying: "are you ready for this?" Then it says: "program execution". I then see her floating in the air, while she's surrounded by disks spinning around her.
"I can transform right?" She says as she holds her left arm up clenching her fist.
After a bright white flash of light I now see her floating in the air again, but she's in her HDD form now as if unconscious. Her suit is flesh coloured but her hair is her usual colour. Various pieces of machinery then encircle her, and they look exactly like they do in Neptunia. First the leg part is attached, then the waist, then the shoulder as she stretches her arms out, then the back and then finally the head. As soon as it's put on she wakes up, after which she does a pose, and her plug suit lights up to her usual colour. I really despise her pose, she looks hideous urgh.
I become more and more concerned as Plutia is in her HDD form, I'm also deeply concerned that she probably has a super move, or a weapon capable of wiping us all out. At least none of us fear her though. She then looks into her inventory and oddly enough, there is only one item that is available to her: a Napalm strike. I smell something fishy: why transform just so she could use that move? Maybe it's a more powerful version.
"Friendly Napalm strike on the way." Plutia laughs.
Strange: what she said sounds familiar and what I see looks familiar as well, as a jet then flies over Noire and Uni's location, dropping a stream of napalm on top of them; the napalm then lasts for about 10 seconds, 10 seconds of watching Noire and Uni yelling in pain. It's sad that they can't move out of the way, and all they can do is jump up and down in pain. I wouldn't be surprised if Plutia enjoys this the sadistic witch. Mind you I enjoy seeing them in pain but that's because they're evil and they deserve it. I mean they do to this to innocent people. Thankfully the attack didn't kill them, and although the damage was not so bad, it's still severe at 300 points each.
I'm relieved it's now Noire's turn, but I don't like the fact that we may have the same items as them. Meaning they'll win because they have more health, but none the less Noire transforms immediately.
I see writing in black saying: "are you ready for this?" Then it says: "program execution." I now see her floating in the air, surrounded by spinning disks around her.
"You have been really annoying Planeptune, when I transform you'll be mine." Noire says holding her left arm up clenching her fist.
After a white flash of light that was bright, she floats in her HDD form in the air unconscious, even at this state she looks really lovely. The process goes just like with Plutia: first the leg, then the waist, then the shoulder, then the back and finally she wakes up. And then she does a pose showing off her amazing beauty as well as how cool she really is.
I must admit seeing her HDD form in this place increased my morale a lot, but there is still the issue of defeating Team Planeptune considering how large their lead is. She looks into her inventory and finds one item, but funny enough it's not a Napalm strike. Instead it's a Lightning strike but instead of the icon being a bolt of lightning, like from worms it is a futuristic plane. Noire uses it but for some bizarre reason, the HUD asks Noire to place 3 co-ordinates on the map. She places each one on a member of Team Planeptune.
"Enemy Lightning strike incoming!" Plutia panics.
3 jets fly past very quickly dropping a bomb on each target. It hurts all 3 but not much at all for what I was expecting, it only takes away 200 points from each enemy except for Plutia, who had only 100 points taken away from her.
It's Nepgear's turn now and she does exactly the same routine as Noire and Plutia again.
"I'm going all out." Nepgear announces.
When she's in her HDD form she looks into her inventory like Noire and Plutia did, there is a unique item but this one is a Valkyrie rocket launcher. She uses the weapon and upon looking through the goggles, she fires the weapon into the air.
"Valkyrie online." Plutia announces.
As Nepgear steers the rocket, all she sees is a black diamond shape so she guides the rocket into it. As the rocket gets closer and closer to the black diamond shape, Noire can then be seen as the rocket then travels towards Noire with such speed. Upon impact the rocket detonates knocking Noire to the ground, she then gets up although 100 health points are taken from her. Nepgear then reloads her rocket, she then fires again and like before she aims at Noire: her nearest target. She hits Noire again with the rocket causing another 100 damage to her.
While I'm pleased Nepgear hasn't targeted me, considering if she hit me twice I'd be nearly dead if not dead, I'm concerned about Noire's health. It's Uni's turn now and I hope she has an item that can turn the tide of the battle.
"From now on you'll see my full power." Uni announces.
Uni transforms like the others before her, and she then looks in the inventory. The unique item for Uni is an EMP, upon seeing this familiar weapon I'm curious to find out what it would do here. I guess I'll get to find out after she uses it. Suddenly there's a flash of white bright light, after that everything seems to be the same as before but then:
"We've been EMP'ed our HDDs are down! I mean our electronics are down!" Plutia panics while yelling.
I now notice how all the Planeptune CPUs are worms with their human form hairstyles. This amuses me greatly, how fitting as once before they lost their HDD form and now they have again.
Wow, I didn't think we'd get an EMP capable of affecting their HDD forms as an item. I wonder if it'll mean they can't use their items. But what if it's temporary though and if so how long would that last?
It's now Neptune's turn, but all she does is get out a skipping rope and skip a few times on the spot. I guess it's my turn now.
I then transform, upon finding out I can. It's weird that it's possible to have a male CPU but then again it makes sense considering the environment and my relationship with Noire and Uni.
Note: Readers please listen to Thorn In Your Eye (Arena Effect) while reading this:
The process starts with disks surrounding me. I clench my left fist as I hold my left arm up.
"Planeptune you're going down!" I announce.
For some odd reason despite the fact I'm unconscious for a few moments, I know exactly what my HDD form looks like: my hair has become white and sticks out like Heihachi Mishima from Tekken. As for the suit, well it's basically a Juggernaut like suit from Call of Duty only it's black and it's heavily armoured like a bomb disposal suit, interesting. After the machine parts attach to me I wake up, it's then I have reason to believe I've become more muscular. I don't feel any different at all though, but I feel determined to make my item count, and I feel we can now win this somehow. I go to the inventory and it's then a big smile grows on my face, I'm grinning at the one item I have now: an AC130, I know it to be a very powerful weapon from Cod. So I use it with much enthusiasm:
"Enemy AC130 above!" Plutia yells at the top of her lungs.
I then go into a HUD which appears to have thermal on, I notice Neptune, Plutia and Nepgear standing on the ground. I think they are panicking as I start of by firing it's 105mm cannon at Nepgear and Plutia. After which I switch to the 40mm cannon firing two shots each at those 2, after that I switch to the 25mm cannon firing ammunition at Neptune and then Plutia. I then alternate between the 3 cannons firing at Team Planeptune as I wait for the cannons to reload; it's not long before the AC130 leaves, ending my attack causing a lot of destruction on the 3 stooges. But what relieves and pleases me is that I've done enough damage to all 3 of them, to send their health to 0. Down goes Neptune, down goes Neptune, down goes Neptune, they're dead, we won.
It's weird that we were able to win, I didn't expect it but it cheers me up greatly, especially considering what was happening at the beginning of this match.
However before the 3 of them actually died as well as our HUDs formally announcing we won, we are then in some other place I don't know, it's as if we just appeared somehow. The 3 of them stand opposite us, angry and beaten but despite this they charge at us and we charge back. I knock Plutia hard to the ground spearing her down. It is then I start punching her constantly, and hard until she's knocked out. I look to my left to see Noire doing the same thing as well as scratching Neptune's head with her claws, causing Neptune's face to bleed a lot. My CPU turns her head to face me smiling, I smile back and I then look to my right, as I see Uni battering Nepgear's face in with her fist. My Candidate also turns to me smiling at me. After smiling in response I then look at Plutia's bruised and bloody face, satisfied in knowing we defeated them here twice, as well as how Noire and Uni are alive.
As if on cue I wake up...
