Chapter 42: The Vert we once knew
I was there for quite a while in the stadium with my friends as they cheer us. It also felt great to know that we're all still here, despite my nightmares. I just hope that that reality can continue there. I have enjoyed the tournament very much, as well as the journey made back to Noire's place seeing the city at night and more of its classy elegant breath taking features in that setting, and driving through their awesome long tunnels and driving on the roof once again to the fellow commuter's astonishment. It felt nice to drive back to Noire's multi story car park, I always love going there seeing all the top quality cars of so many different kinds. I also liked seeing the view of the city as we went up in the lift together. It looks so beautiful, full of life and lights, along with amazing all the features and the immense quality of them that we have, that make our lives here even more comfortable and exciting. Tonight definitely felt like a special night as I enjoyed everything, it was all nice, futuristic and very grand. I also feel very privileged just as everyone else does, it's great how all the people I've seen are very friendly.
And the fun doesn't seem to stop at all even now, as we're now in Noire's magnificent bedroom with its grand and impressive features, and either out of fun or out of kindness, or probably both Noire has invited some Tekken characters over as a sleepover so that they can enjoy our company before we sleep, along with the facilities here. Most likely she did this because we got to face the Tekken characters in a tournament, and gave it their all for us and for the entertainment of viewers both at home and at the stadium. Her huge gigantic bedroom ensures we can all sleep in here, I look around and I can see small groups of people lying comfortably in their sleeping bags talking to one another. I myself am sat up on the silver haired goddess's gigantic super comfortable bed with my legs beneath the quilts and sheets. Noire and Uni my younger siblings are sat up by my sides so close together that we can feel each other's bodies with our own. I notice to my right Rom and Ram playing with their older sisters White and Blanc in the same bed, all of them smiling and having a good time.
As I look at the Tekken characters lying on their sleeping bags I look at Paul and Marshall who's dressed in his chicken outfit, lying next to each other in separate sleeping bags.
"Thank you for letting us sleep here tonight, you're so kind Lady Black Heart." Paul said in a jolly friendly tone.
"You're welcome Paul, good luck in becoming the toughest in the universe, I admire you for wanting to be number 1, you remind me of me, keep training like you always do and I'm sure you'll get there, as for you Law, your food tastes delicious but remember don't use too many spices not everyone likes spices as much as you do Law." She replied with a smile and speaks with much encouragement in her voice.
"Thanks for the advice Lady Black Heart." Paul and Law said but not at the same time both of them say this in an appreciative tone.
"You're welcome good night." Noire said kindly and in a friendly manner with a smile.
"Yeah good night." Paul and Law said politely again at different times.
"Goodnight. You did very well in the tournament." I added with genuine conviction.
"You too." The duo said this time simultaneously, and with a smile.
I notice Raven and Dragonov lying in their own sleeping bags to each other and I listen to Raven talking to Dragonov casually and calmly, while he just sits there silent with the same default blank expression, and yet Raven seems to understand exactly what Dragonov says. I remember from the Tekken games how they were both rivals to each other and yet they sit together and talk… well if you can call it that. Still, I don't mind in fact I find it amusing, and it is quite a struggle to conceal my laughter as he just lies there with the same blank expression. As I see them "talking" they then look at me and Noire, so we then give each other a smile for a while before Raven speaks to me.
"…" Dragonov said with his default blank expression.
"Well done for winning the tournament Lord Black Lead." Raven said in his distinctive tone, though his praise is genuine.
"Thanks I think you two would make a great 2 person team, have you always worked together?" I ask them both with curiosity in my voice.
"…" Dragonov again said with his default blank expression.
"Yeah we always have worked together, we were both trained in the same elite class, since then we became friends." Raven explained in the same tone.
"Dragonov I don't mean any disrespect or anything but are you able to talk?" I ask him with a hint of concern in my voice.
"…" Dragonov once again said with his default expression as that's all he ever says.
Hmmm I would take that as a yes but I remember how in the Tekken 6 Scenario Campaign he did occasionally speak.
"Since he doesn't speak are you still able to understand what he's saying if you know what I mean?" I ask Raven eager to find out more.
"He only speaks if we call him the White Angel of Death, even then he doesn't say much and gets straight to the point. He doesn't do small talk at all, despite the fact that he doesn't talk much he is a very good soldier. The thing is he doesn't have a speech problem at all but he just chooses not to talk." He explained in his same tone, and his body language expressing much calm as well.
As if on cue a thin but not malnourished, tall young woman enters Noire's bedroom, she looks like someone from a distinctive era though because of my amnesia I don't know where, as she's dressed as a sexy cabaret singer. Her hair is black, short and curly covering one of her hazel eyes and ears and is a bit longer on one side than another, in fact I recognise it to be a hairstyle of that time. She wears a lot of makeup as well in which along with having fairly big eyelashes, she wears red eyeshadow and yellow eyeshadow, in which the red is closer to her nose, while the yellow is further away. She also wears rosy cheeks and her top lip is completely covered in red lip stick, while only the middle of her bottom lip is covered in red lipstick. Furthermore, I notice how pale her skin is.
For clothes she wears a tight fitting long black silk scarf around her neck as well as a tight fitting bustier, which is mostly red but yellow around her breasts as well as a green trim at the top with black borders separating each section. She wears braces with buttons that go over the edge of her bustier along with at the end of the brace, that hold up some maroon coloured shorts which appear folded over her legs, has a triangular slit in the middle so that more of her bustier can be seen, and buttons where her pockets would be. She also wears white and black vertical striped stockings, black stilettos and long black gloves that cover a lot of her arm. Along with this, she wears lots of pearls too as her earrings are pearl studs, her braces are covered in pearls and at the top of her gloves are two pearl studs, and all of these pearl studs are incredibly shiny. It is now I remember that she's Dawn from contrast, Didi's silent imaginary friend yet me, my silver haired CPU and even the silent White Angel of Death see her here.
He then looks at her just as she looks at him and they both walk towards each other with much enthusiasm, their usual default expressions have now gone, their body languages tell me that they're very much in love with each other. They keep walking until they stand next to each other and it is at that point where they both hug and kiss each other passionately, I wondered what the attraction was between the two, but could it be an attempt to humour me as the two things they have in common, is having only one expression and never saying anything, well Dragonov rarely spoke in Tekken.
"Aww how wonderful that you have fallen in love with each other, I think you two would make a great couple. Also thank you very much Dawn for agreeing to be with me during the launch of the PlayStation 4, I appreciate this and I'm sure the game featuring you will be a success." The Lastation CPU smiled, sounding ever so happy and jolly for them, along with appreciative for what they've done.
Dawn then gives Noire a thumbs up while she hugs Dragonov, they eventually let go as they look at each other with much love.
"Wow, I never imagined Dragonov ever doing that, I suppose it's good for him anyway good night my CPUs." Raven said in his usual calm and casual tone.
"Good night Raven." I said kindly followed by my long silver haired beautiful sister who said the same thing in the same tone.
I then turn my attention to Lili and Asuka both of whom are talking together like good friends. I notice Noire smiling at them both particularly how while Lili wears one of her special costumes from Tekken 6, which consists of a bustier, devilish gloves in which the gloves fold back like collars at the upper arms, and have a slit, devilish boots which consist of the same thing at the thighs, and devilish shorts in which there's a chequered pattern, while Asuka wears her blue costume which is the same as what Blanc wore when cosplaying as her, the colour is different. Lili's hair is now dyed silver and her costume is now black, while Asuka's blue costume is now white. It's not long before Lili and Asuka then turn to face us, both of them are smiling a lot.
"Congratulations on winning the tournament Lord Black Lead." Lili said with genuine praise and friendliness.
"Yeah you're such a tough fighter." Asuka agreed, speaking in a similar tone.
I notice how despite the fact that the both of them speak different languages, I understand them both very well.
"Thank you, you have both done rather well yourselves." I replied smiling and speaking in a kind tone to them.
"Thank you, yeah me and Asuka had such a great match together it could have gone either way although I ended up winning but just barely. Then I had a match against Lady White Heart but she managed to defeat me with such ease, interestingly enough she had such a resemblance to Asuka. When she defeated me she said she would love to have been able to defeat Vert, I'm wondering whether I should have worn that costume that boob monster wears come to think of it..." Lili explains casually but then her tone increases with concern when she mentions Blanc.
It is then I notice Blanc over hearing our conversation and gives Lili a reassuring look.
"It is OK Lili I mean your hair colour and hair style is similar to Vert along with the eyes just as Asuka's is similar to mine and Xiaoyu's is similar to Lady Black Heart's. I actually wanted to fight opponents that resembled Vert anyway, In fact I got to defeat an Anna Williams look alike and sound alike. Besides you kinda look like Lady Black Heart right now while Asuka actually does look quite similar to me right now." Blanc reassured her with a calm understanding voice, and a caring smile.
"Oh yeah I like your costume Lili you do look a lot like me." Noire added calmly with a friendly chuckle.
Lili chuckles a bit in appreciation, as her concern has now vanished.
"Out of curiosity do you both consider each other to be rivals?" I ask them both out of curiosity.
I remember how Asuka and Lili were fierce rivals from different backgrounds, and yet they both enjoy fighting and they have been known to work together to achieve a common goal.
"That is a good question Lord Black Lead, we consider ourselves to be very good friends. My father is a very wealthy oil magnate from Lastation and since the 5th generation he is one of the owners of all of Lastation's oil wells. We use this oil for all the fuel of every vehicle in Lastation, because the oil in our nation's oil wells do not produce any pollution or anything else like that, and the methods of extracting it are very safe, not to mention the limitless supply of the oil which is ever so fuel efficient. Well I say limitless, but it's because we are able to grow more oil in these wells thanks to atomic manipulators inside the oil wells. We even manage to produce the oil without any accidents or any damage to the environment what so ever.
My father and Lady Black Heart have made an agreement that the oil will be used for Lastation, in return, the money made from the oil will be paid to us, as well as a decent amount of money being paid to all the workers involved in this industry, so thanks to Lady Black Heart I'm fabulously wealthy just like the rest of us. Me and Asuka met in the same training class where we both learned unarmed combat as well as some firearms training, it would be my absolute pleasure if tomorrow I could fight on the front lines with you. Because of Lady Black Heart, I have my father's oil wells to keep me happy and since my nation and my father's oil wells are threatened at the hands of Vert, I wish to do my bit to stop her." Lili spoke with pride and joy kinda like how Noire does.
"I wish to help too, Lastation is such a peaceful and prosperous land and all of my friends are here: Lili, Jin, Jun, I've never had any complaints about this nation nor its people. I do not want anyone to destroy Lastation and like Lili I would like to join up, our loyalty to Lastation is endless in fact it's where we're all from, apart from those from Lowee our allies of course." Asuka added with passion and determination in her voice.
"Of course I'd like it if everyone was to help, we all need to do our part in defending Lastation in her greatest need, I'm sure you two fighting with us will be such a morale boost for your fans. Goodnight to you both." Our goddess spoke with pride and sounded very caring, appreciating their support.
"Good night." Lili and Asuka replied with a smile and sounding cheerful.
We then look to see Xiaoyu, Jin, Heihachi, Jun, Lee, even Panda and Kuma lying in sleeping bags.
"(Night night Panda my love)." Kuma said. Even though he just grunts calmly, I can easily tell what he says.
"(Goodnight Kuma and good night Xiaoyu)." Panda replied grunting happily.
Panda then gets up and crawls on Noire's gigantic bed, I notice the bed is more than able to withstand the weight of Panda as the adorable bear crawls closer and closer to Noire with a grin on her face, as she then sits up and gives her goddess a hug.
"(Goodnight Lady Black Heart my Xiao look alike)." Panda said in the same way and tone.
"Goodnight Panda." The Lastation CPU replied in a caring manner with a caring kind smile.
I notice how comfortable and warm she is as she blows Panda a kiss as well as a wave as Xiaoyu's loyal bodyguard then let go as she gently crawls away from her goddess, climbing of the bed and joining Kuma at her sleeping bag.
It's nice to see Panda and Kuma lying together as opposed to Panda constantly rejecting Kuma, I never knew why though. The group then notice us looking at them and so they turn their attention to us and smile at us.
"Well done for winning the tournament Lord Black Lead, I sense great power within you." Heihachi said in his usual tone in which he lets out a laugh afterwards.
"Thank you; you're all such good fighters. Just to let you know Heihachi you can keep the Mishima Zaibatsu." I replied, very appreciative of his praise.
Heihachi then laughed a fair amount.
"I also wish to congratulate you on winning the tournament. I sense a lot of good in you just like I do with our CPUs in fact I wonder if you two possess the Angel gene just as me and Asuka do. I just hope that I could convert Kazuya back to the good side with the Angel gene if he chooses to show up tomorrow." Jun said sounding optimistic and pleased.
Angel gene eh? I wondered whether she actually had it. In fact I remember how the Angel gene gives the user ability to supress someone who has the Devil gene. Despite my limited knowledge of the Devil gene, I know that Kazyua has it and I know it can corrupt the mind in exchange for giving them super strength, as well as wings to allow the person to fly, not to mention a laser that can be shot out from the head. Which makes me wonder does the Lastation and Lowee CPUs possess the Angel gene while Neptune possess the Devil gene, this could explain why we're all nice and caring people with immense power to do good. I wonder.
"I'm sure you will Jun, it would be nice if you could get Vert and Neptune to see the error of their ways and perhaps one day Gameindustri can become peaceful again and be prosperous for all." Noire agreed sharing the same optimism.
"How can Kazuya believe that my dad Heihachi threw him off a cliff when he fell, and then go to Leanbox in hopes of retaliation? Anyway thanks a lot for inviting us here." Lee sighed with significant disappointment when he spoke of Kazuya.
"You're welcome, I enjoyed tonight it was very fun thank you so much." Our Lastation CPU beauty replied with a smile enforcing what she says to be genuine.
"Excellent." Lee said with a smile and his trademark thumbs up.
"I would like to see Kazuya back here with us, and then the entire Mishima and Kazama families can all be together even if it means that I knock some sense into him." Jin spoke with determination in his voice, and in his body language.
"I would like to help defend Lastation too, for one thing this nation has the best theme parks in all of Gameindustri and as Jin said much of my family is here." Xiaoyu added with the same optimism and determination.
"I appreciate your help guys. I really do, I have every confidence we can succeed." Noire smiled greatly in a caring manner.
We then wish goodnight to each other as Jin then hugs both Xiaoyu and Jun with much love. He then says goodnight to them both and then to Heihachi only for him to do the same with a chuckle afterwards.
"Thank you for letting us sleep here tonight and I wish to congratulate you Lord Black Lead for winning the tournament, as well as to Lady Black Heart for having such a good match together, wow you really did remind me of Alisa. I never knew you were able to shoot rockets and have chain saws coming out of your arms as well as a jet pack coming out of your back." Lars said with much amazement in his voice.
We then turn to face them, while Alisa nodded in agreement.
"You're welcome and thank you, I often wondered whether I'm an immortal human with such incredible abilities, am I a high tech robot, or maybe I'm Lastation's CPU that deeply cares for her people. Goodnight everyone it's great to see you all." Our flawless CPU chuckled after speaking to him with much gratitude and wonder with what he said.
Everyone then said goodnight to us and to each other. For those of us that lie on our bed, we ensure that we're all coiled around each other and comfortable, as we lie in this snug gigantic water bed of ours. I feel so warm and cosy especially considering how I have Noire lying next to me, as her arm coils around mine and she then turns to me and we kiss each other goodnight pleasurably for a long time. She then rests her head on my shoulder as I see her tired yet flirting eyes look up towards me, she's smiling with pleasure and love.
"We'll always be together Black even in our dreams." My silver long haired goddess from heaven said in a very caring and flirting tone.
"Yes and whatever happens I will find a way in ensuring it stays that way." I reply to her with the same love and care that I have for her, as she does for me.
We then have another long hug and another pleasurable loving kiss, before we both fall asleep along with the rest of us. Will I dream tonight? Will there be any more flashbacks to help explain our lives before being here? Would I face Neptune again? And if so what would she do and how would I fight whatever scheme she comes up with? All I can do is sleep tonight as I'll need all the rest I can get when we'll all face Leanbox tomorrow. Even though they invaded a few days ago and we defeated them easily, I get the feeling they'll be a lot tougher to defeat next time around. How tragic that Vert now wants to see Lastation in ruins considering how we were good friends, that being said I have little memories of Vert before here apart from what I remember from the games. And from them it frustrated me how she bullied Blanc and got away with it, as well as how she got better treatment compared to Noire and Blanc, just because of what happened with regards to sales of consoles. Maybe in my dreams I'll experience a memory of Vert from before I came here. I then fall asleep.
As I sleep tonight and experience my dreams I notice the usual flash back dream. But this one is different from the others, as with this one I experience, it's not my perspective I observe but Noire's. I've not become her in this dream mind you, instead I see my attractive benevolent highly intelligent goddess as though I'm watching a movie. Why I see her perspective as opposed to mine, I don't know but maybe something important has happened with her.
She's in her high tech supercar Bugatti in a dark empty street listening to the radio calmly, though I sense from her body language that she's waiting patiently for something to happen.
"Wow after the 6th Generation tournament Team Lastation has picked up the win. Their win was much more grand this time..." The radio said with much amazement and astonishment.
"Noire! Hey up." A teenage girl yells politely, trying to get Noire's attention.
The girl has long red hair flowing to her back, she's wearing shorts made of denim and an undershirt as well as high heels and shades, and she stands in the street as she casually watches Noire get out of her car.
"Ah excellent Tanya you're alright?" Noire spoke in a friendly manner as she crosses the street.
"I'm OK; I can't believe how lucky we are getting in, considering how private this party is." Tanya spoke with joy.
"I doubt that's the only reason let's go." Noire replied calmly her tone sounding sceptical with the reasoning.
Both of them climb up some stairs as they hear club music which is difficult to make out what it is, I certainly don't recognise it.
"What she drinking?" Noire asked Tanya calmly.
"Black currant juice and Cranberry." Tanya replied casually.
"OK." Noire replied in the same tone.
I don't know why that's important but they both then enter a club through an exit, the club music is then louder, lots of people are dancing to the beat dressed in various smart casual clothes, as different colours of light shine on them. I do have vague memories of this place, though I am unsure of the significance, no doubt I'll know when this flashback finishes.
"Security?" Noire asked in her calm and polite tone.
"No but we still have a slight problem." Tanya said sounding fairly casual despite the concern she had.
As they walk past various people most of them teenagers and young adults, a guy then walks past them, all I remember is his t shirt which said Craze and his remark: have fun. A bit odd for him to say that, but I'm not too bothered about it.
Noire and Tanya then stand on a balcony overlooking the main dancing floor, taking in the people there and what they're doing.
"What's the problem?" Noire asked in the same tone.
"That's your problem, OK the guy in the pink suit is Anotherdeaf I think he's a computer expert but he's sneaky." Tanya explains despite clearly being fairly unsure herself.
"He won't be a problem for me, he's Anonydeath, computer hacker, he's the best computer hacker Team Planeptune ever had but I stopped him a few times, the girl on his left is Nepgear works for them 24-7 has been since day 1. The woman with the tie that's Rei Rhyghts dictator wannabe, she's as successful as a fictional villain only she doesn't give in." Noire explains with a lot more confidence in her voice.
"OK I don't know them like you do." Tanya said calmly.
"The other two girls are: Peashy and Plutia, one worked with PCs, the other with Sega but very briefly." Noire explains in the same tone.
"You know the girl we're after is Neptune, loses like a jobber, cries like a baby." Tanya explains with more confidence this time.
"Neptune huh? Oh you can't just go a fraction of a second without committing crimes can you; I knew you were behind this." Noire said with a hint of aggression.
"I know and I was selected to make them go straight, what must Landon and Haruka think now." Tanya sighed with frustration and disappointment.
Noire then heads to Neptune's table, as she approaches them, she then stands waiting to catch the Planeptune CPeww's attention. It's not long before the purple braid haired demon sees the untied silver haired angel and my goddess from heaven approach her, even taking a seat next to the goddess from hell. They exchange looks of hostility with one another.
"What do you want Noire? You just can't accept I'm going straight, nor can you accept we've been released from prison can you? Can you please leave I'm enjoying myself with my friends." Neptune complained with much irritation in her voice.
"Because I don't think you haven't gone straight, I know you haven't gone straight." Noire snapped back with anger in her voice.
"OK what have I done this time then?" The purple haired moron asked with much sarcasm.
"Couple of hours ago Vert has been kidnapped. One of the members of Team Leanbox?" The smart silver haired CPU asked, in a tone that screams she is not to be messed with.
Hmmmm, Vert has been kidnapped and Noire is trying to rescue her, yes this must be when the Leanbox CPU herself has been affected by Neptune's antics, what a tragic shame that it's her antics that have caused Vert to fight us in the war we have now. No doubt this is the point to show she once was an ally, now she's not and has our Lastation surrounded effectively. I hope that the CPU of Leanbox is able to join us once again, it would be ever so nice for her to join us once again, and have all 3 of us against Neptune just like old times and a great fanfic that I know. The thing is I realise that this will have to wait due to the fact that we need to liberate Lowee first before we can gain a better chance in conquering Leanbox due to its strength, liberating it and getting Vert back. With this in mind I do wonder who is supporting Vert right now. Is it Neptune secretly or is it someone else?
"Hey Neptune, ooh Noire you have a lot of nerve showing your face around here." Plutia spoke aggressively as she turned from a different table to face Noire, her face shows much anger.
"It's good, let Noire embarrass herself." Neptune said with confidence and with contempt towards Noire.
With that assurance Plutia turns back to her table and shows a more friendly expression.
"Thing is we know you kidnapped Vert and we know she's held in a warehouse you currently own." Noire explained in a firm tone.
"Well in that case you can bring Vert here and she can accuse me of kidnapping her in front of everyone here, but being as you have no proof of me kidnapping nor are you invited here, I wish for you to leave." Neptune warned with a hint of menace in her voice.
"Oh there is proof all right, you see the thing is there is a code required to access the warehouse and we both know you have that code in your pocket, if you cooperate you have my word I will negotiate a lesser punishment for you." Our Lastation CPU replied with confidence along with warning in her tone.
At this point I expected both to lash out as they have much hatred, much animosity towards each other. Both look into each other's eyes, but then Planeptune's worst CPU pours more of her drink into a glass from the bottle as she gets increasingly annoyed.
"Oh you want the code, you want my drink too?" Neptune growled.
She then splashes the drink on Noire's plug suit repeatedly, Plutia then stands up afterwards.
"That's what I think of you, now go, go on GO! Someone do something about this!" Neptune said with anger and lots of frustration.
"You heard the lady lets go girl GET UP!" Plutia growled with even more menace than Neptune.
I'm surprised how calm Noire was considering her plug suit is soaked at the top. She just says OK and then stands up, not a hint of rage in her body language, no doubt she's got a plan and has prepared for this eventuality.
"That's right Noire walk, go on then." Neptune ordered still annoyed despite the fact that she's getting what she wants.
"Leave! Get out of here." Plutia ordered, still with menace in her voice.
She just walks away calmly and then heads for the toilets. Tanya then follows her to the toilets looks of slight concern appear on her face.
It's not long before they get there, that they then head to the sinks and both stare at the mirrors there for a brief while, in the meantime replaying what they need to do in their minds.
"You're alright?" Tanya asks her out of concern.
"Yeah I'm fine, she'll pay for that." Noire replied casually, despite what just happened to her.
Noire is wiping the stains with the tissues while Tanya helps her. Amazingly the stains go and her flawless attractive plug suit looks as good as new. My ideal girlfriend in the plug suit then gets out her mobile phone calmly and casually.
"Hi Black, I've some news, as we all thought Neptune is here with the code,...she's with Team Planeptune but they'll be no match for me. I'll call you with the code...I know. If it's any comfort to Landon and Haruka I will negotiate with Neptune one last time but it looks like I'm going to kick their ass, ok see you later." Noire says on the phone in her usual friendly manner.
She then hangs up and looks at the mirror one last time making sure she replays how she intends to deal with the situation, before she goes back to Neptune's table.
Note: Readers please listen to Missy Elliott (AC/DC remix) Get your freak on while reading this.
Noire walks through the crowd and flashing lights as the song above is playing loudly, eventually she reaches the table where her target is.
"Neptune you got two choices: Option A you give me the code, Option B I make you give me the code." Noire said calmly with a hint of warning in her voice.
"I'll take B." Neptune spoke in a cocky way.
Noire looks behind her to see Anonydeath walking towards her, she then punches him to the ground with 1 hit to the head slightly scaring Neptune, and she turns to face her enemy with a determined look.
"Wrong choice." Noire said calmly to Neptune, with a hint of menace in her voice.
Nepgear comes in swinging a left fist at Noire's head only for my CPU to duck and punch the Planeptune CPU Candidate in the chest with her right fist. The blow alone was enough to send her to the floor clutching her ribs in serious pain. Rei Ryghts then comes in, she tries to punch my goddess with her right fist but she blocks with her left and she then digs her claws into Rei's hands causing them to bleed. At the same time Miss Lastation punches Rei in the head with her right hand stunning the insane dictator wannabe briefly, she then grabs a pistol that the evil goddess had holstered. After which she swings the Tari CPU's arm causing her to do a summersault and land on a table breaking the table with her back. Noire then holsters the pistol when from out of the blue Nisa comes in doing a high flying kick. The silver haired angel was able to notice this and with sufficient time to react, she manages to dodge but she also manages to grab Nisa's feet holding them firmly with both hands.
Next she spins around a couple of times and she then let go causing the phony super zero to fly away in one direction of the club, she then lands breaking through a table, back first, her body language screams pain when she lands. Nepgear then comes in from nowhere with a bar stool as despite her ribs aching she constantly swings out of desperation, only for Noire to dodge backwards away from the barstool's reach. Eventually the CPU Candidate ends up hitting a pillar with her bar stool with such impact bits of plaster comes off. Our leader then kicks Neptune's younger sister in the gut with her right leg twice with significant force, causing her to drop the bar stool and hold her guts as she's now in more pain than ever before, all she can do is stand as our future proof goddess punches the beaten Candidate twice very hard in the face with her right hand. After that she grabs her left shoulder, upon picking her up Noire slams Nepgear's back to the floor really hard, I think she did a Rock Bottom there.
The move causes our true heroine to crouch; she looks to her left and notices Plutia and Peashy standing up as they close in ready to fight, their facial expressions scream determination.
"OK" Noire breathed calmly as she stands up ready to fight them two, she also shows a look of determination.
They stare at each other for a few seconds only for Plutia to try and punch Noire in the face, The beautiful silver haired lady is too quick for the ugly witch as she manages to block with her left arm, she then quickly punches the violet haired hideous creature then Peashy in the heads with her right hands causing their faces to show intense pain that they now suffer. After this Noire digs into Peashy's shoulder with her claws causing blood to ooze out, as the flawless goddess kicks her leg and then Plutia's leg, the kick hurts so much that Plutia gets on her knee as Noire stands on Plutia's lower leg apparently breaking her leg. Our Lady Black Heart then grabs Sadie by the hair causing her to scream severely in pain, she then flips her over effortlessly causing the sadistic piece of trash to fall crashing through a table with her belly. While Boobzilla is still stunned our goddess grabs her in the shoulders hitting her on her hideous womanhood a couple of times with her right knee causing Peashy to grunt in agony, after which she pulls her arm violently, forcing her to charge into a nearby pillar. As a result, her head hits the pillar hard, the impact causes Peashy's head to be busted right open, the pillar to have some of the concrete come off, and for Eden's CPU herself to be knocked out as she falls on her back.
Out of the blue, Anonydeath charges at Noire, he scoops her up and is screaming with rage and determination as he's charging at a wall. He then rams Noire at a table next to the wall and then punches her in the face to the floor.
"Yeah you go Anonydeath take her down!" Neptune cheered him on.
He wastes no time as he picks her up holding her in place as he gets ready for the knockout blow. However this proved to be his undoing as this table is where the record player is, she picks it up and she quickly swings it towards Anonydeath with both her hands, he ends up punching the record player breaking the record abruptly ending the music, Anonydeath groans in pain as Noire hits him on the top of his head and then she hits him again in the face hard knocking him out as he falls to the floor arms and legs apart.
Our goddess stands up with the record player in hand as she sees Neptune desperately make a break for it like a coward, as she has no one between her and our silver haired beauty. As the cry baby runs our heavenly CPU throws the record player like a Frisbee towards her casually, the record player knocks the coward in the back very hard knocking her over as she groans in serious pain.
Noire walks towards her briskly and grabs a purple drink pouring it on the back of Neptune's head, she then sits on the cry baby's back as she goes into the bad girl's pocket and grabs the code on a piece of paper.
"Owww! Why are you so violent?" Neptune protested in a desperate plea.
"You should have taken Option A!" Noire spoke calmly before grabbing Neptune by the back of her head firmly.
She was about to slam Neptune to the ground when Neptune begged.
"Oww please, OK I'm sorry for kidnapping Vert, I'm sorry for trying to make Neptunia only to treat you poorly, I'm so sorry for turning evil and committing crimes against humanity, and sorry for not going straight when I said I would. Please, please, please let me make it up to you, I'll make a video game with you as the main character, I won't commit any more crimes please!" Neptune spoke quickly out of fear; she's also crying her eyes out massively, with streams of tears running down her face.
"You're still going to jail but I'll let you develop the game in jail, but if you commit any more crimes and if you don't treat my character with respect i.e.: you make me a tsundere, you bury me or Blanc or both, you make us a villain or your or Plutia's character doesn't get buried, or they're not the villains, or they're not defeated by me and Blanc in that game. Then what we did to Plutia in chapter 21 will be nothing, nothing! Compared to what we'll do to you." Noire warned to Neptune as she then slams the CPeww's head into the floor knocking her out.
Noire 6ft 120ibs of wonder, I'm impressed with how she took out all of them by herself effortlessly, she then makes a phone call from her mobile phone.
"Hey Black I've got the code it's 141... OK I'll see you lot here, ooh could you bring a record player please, thanks a lot bye." Noire said with a smile, sounding very friendly and casual.
She then looks to the crowd, we both expected the crowd to be hostile towards her, after all this was Neptune's party and now she is lying on the floor unconscious sat on by Noire. Instead the crowd cheers our heroine as they reveal that they were fans of her, they show their t shirts with our goddess on it in all of her limitless beauty. They even chant her name: Lady Black Heart with much volume, passion and enthusiasm.
"Ah I love it even in Neptune's dull exclusive party there's fans of me, don't worry about the record player we'll get a new one for you and Neptune can pay for it. Also the rest of the gang will be coming soon and the cops will come over and take out the trash, in the mean time I'll happily sign autographs for you and take photos." Noire spoke in a friendly proud tone, as the crowd cheers.
It's not long until me and the rest of Team Lastation, Team Lowee as well as Vert and two teenagers arrive in the club. It is now I'm back in my usual perspective, I look at Vert only to see her in a rough shape, was she tortured, beaten up? Hard to say but at least she has been rescued. The two teenagers that walk with us are male and female. The male is wearing a black t shirt with a picture from WhiteLight on it as well as jeans and sunglasses, he is quite skinny and has a beard and moustache, and I can only guess he's Landon. The teenage girl is Asian and she's wearing a school uniform consisting of long black socks, a blue pleated skirt and a black jumper she has long black hair and a fringe. This must be Haruka.
"Hey guys good to see you, are you OK Vert you look rough." Noire asked with genuine concern as she approaches her to look and see what she can do to patch the Leanbox CPU up.
"I'll be fine...I can't believe Neptune would talk to me about joining her only to kidnap and torture me. Why would she do that?" Vert said with frustration as she groans in pain.
"She's been doing that sort of thing ever since my team defeated her in the 1st generation." Blanc explained with equal frustration .
"Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to brain wash you instead, I mean she's looking for new recruits, she knew you lost, had little fans and was new to all of this, hell she even knew you didn't know about the evil deeds Team Planeptune has done over time. You was perfect for her." Noire added in the same tone.
"Good grief why do all those things?" Vert asks in absolute shock and horror.
"Simple because she wants to be number 1, but she's not going about it the right way, since we've been number 1 the majority of the world supported us and because of this, Team Planeptune's goal has been to take us and our supporters down. They've kidnapped, stolen, tortured, and even murdered various innocent people. I propose you join us Vert, if you help us in bringing justice to the world, and help in taking Team Planeptune down we'll help you gain supporters, how does that sound Vert?" I explained sounding frustrated when talking about Neptune, only for me to sound optimistic when I talk to Vert.
"Sure, thank you, I can't believe I considered siding with Neptune. I'm sorry." Vert said as she shook our hands, sounding quite depressed with what happened to her.
"It's OK I mean it's a shame me, Tanya and Haruka couldn't convince Neptune and that to go straight. In fact I thought we made progress only for that to happen. Why does there have to be a console war, why can't we all just get along?" Landon asked sounding disappointed.
"You make a good point Landonkun but at least we're all getting along and we all play different consoles. I propose the 3 of us help Vertchan get back on her feet." Haruka suggested sounding quite distinctive, while being friendly.
"Thank you I'll play WhiteLight with you when I'm better." Vert said sounding more happy.
"Thanks Vert that's my favourite game. You know what you guys have inspired me to write a book I'll call it Future revisited or something like that." Landon spoke with joy.
"If you would like Landon I could help you, my books sell well and many people consider me to be the best author ever." Blanc said in a friendly voice.
"I'll help out as well; I think your idea is good." I added calmly.
"Say, now that we're all here why don't we celebrate all of us joining together?" Haruka suggested with optimism in her voice.
Everyone agrees.
"It's a good idea but I think I'll go rest, I need to let my family know I'm OK." Vert said grunting in pain.
"I'll come with you." Tanya added in a reassuring voice.
Vert and Tanya then leave while the rest of us have a party with our fans, it was a fun night but I have no idea what happened after that and the flashback is now over. With this said, I do begin to remember rescuing Vert and coming over to meet Noire, but I don't remember anything else and even with that, it's not very detailed. Still, it's nice to know that there was a time when this happened, that all 3 of us were once united against her. Though it is sad that it's no longer the case. With this said, I need to have confidence that it will happen again, especially since I dreamed when we were allied with Blanc and now we are together again. We will reunite with Vert, and we won't just get back to stopping Neptune's schemes but stop her for good.
With those thoughts in my in mind, it is then that I am awake again, while all of the Tekken characters are still asleep in their sleeping bags. The CPUs are awake with me all sat up looking at each other, we then speak by mind talk to each other as it seems we have all witnessed the same dream.
"Wow that's new, I had a flash back, in which now I vaguely remember those events taking place originally, but this time I was in Noire's perspective not my own only to return to my own later." I remarked casually.
"Yeah same here, I wonder why we are experiencing those flashbacks though?" White asked with curiosity in her tone.
"Could be any reason really, perhaps those flashbacks are the origins of some of the events we face somehow, or perhaps they are reminders of how things used to be." Noire replied not sounding too sure.
"I guess from that dream Vert probably did get brainwashed by Neptune, probably because of her being weak minded as well as the fact her team has not won any generations. It's unfortunate though, the 3 of us were united together against Neptune and then for a long time just Noire against Neptune, and at least I'm here though." Blanc said calmly, concealing her frustration with the situation.
"Yeah how did all of this happen though, the war between our nations? And what was the state of where we came from? And finally how did we get here, as well as who would know all of this? I just feel like while we know we came from somewhere else, we met as adults and fought Neptune there like we do here, we eventually suffered significant setbacks despite consistently defeating her. It's as though the victories we had against her were meaningless." I ask everyone trying to make sense of the situation.
Just as I thought no one knew.
"Thing is if Vert got brainwashed easily due to not doing well how come you have been brainwashed easily Blanc?" Uni asked out of curiosity, also while struggling to make sense of it.
"I'm not sure myself all I remember is being told to turn against Noire, declare war and accuse you of taking Neptune away from me." Blanc answered her tone suggests confusion and bewilderment.
"Why is it that Blanc got brainwashed but Noire didn't back then?" Rom asked in the same tone as the others.
"It's a good question but I'm unsure, as I see it while you have been fighting Neptune a lot longer than us, we must have been the straw on the camel's back. After all when we joined the war on your side it was then that we had a significant advantage, and it was then that Planeptune lost to us both. Since she knew we were best friends, she perhaps wanted me to witness my friend being turned against me and her land being ruined with evil and neglect. Then when Lowee would have been destroyed she probably would have wanted me to witness my nation to fall." Noire answered in the same tone as before.
"True point, she hates us all, the dummy. She hates the fact that we work soooooo hard and care for our people as well as the fact that our landmasses looked amazing." Ram agreed speaking with contempt at Neptune, which is perfectly understandable.
"What's worse is that she is halfway there even if we've saved what's left of Lowee's people, Lowee has still fallen. As soon as we have repelled Leanbox's attack tomorrow we need to find a way of taking back Lowee. I think if we can take back Lowee then we can perhaps even the playing field more with Leanbox as well, with it being a large victory not to mention a significant morale boost for us, due to the strength that Leanbox has currently with her brainwashing. We definitely need to have Vert back on our side and take the fight back to Neptune and all 3 of our nations need to defeat her once and for all, as soon as Lowee is liberated and has recovered at full strength." I suggested with optimism and determination, as I find myself wondering what makes Vert so powerful. Is it Neptune or is it someone else?
"Agreed hopefully our Orbital VSATs can scan Lowee and provide us with more information." Uni agreed, adopting the tone that I have.
"Yes and with luck my Wii will have some information, if anyone even dares to mess with my nation there will be hell to pay!" Blanc yelled in her mind talk.
"Thing is it's interesting that thanks to the flashback I now remember Landon, Haruka and Tanya, but do any of you know if they've ever been here?" White asks out of curiosity.
The CPUs shake their heads.
"I'm not sure if they'll ever come here but if they do arrive in Lastation or Lowee then hopefully we should know about it." Blanc replied in mind talk with confidence.
"Yeah It would be nice to see them again I remember how nice they were." I added while remembering them.
We all agreed and hoped for them to arrive as we then link up again and go to sleep, I reckon if Neptune intends to appear in any of my dreams it will be this one, come get me Neptune if you can.
