Chapter 80: The Arfoire incident
Before chapter 80 I wish to thank TM Craze for his review.
Yes indeed, what a defeat to have, so close, so agonisingly close. Hang on my HUD then says the word Victory in green letters with the four logos of the respective nations: Lastation (L replaces P though other than that it's the PlayStation logo), Lowee (which says Lowee in Wii font), Leanbox (which is the same as Xbox) and Planeptune (which is in the Sega font). The logos are in order of Lastation, Lowee, Leanbox and last and least Planeptune. Below Lastation and Lowee is the number 75, and below Leanbox and Planeptune is 74. The HUD also says score limited reached and I then hear the victory theme of the SEALS.
"Everyone, that was textbook." Noire announces with pride.
Upon seeing that we've actually won and not lost, while I'm definitely relieved as who knows what would have happened if we got defeated, I am surprised. After what has happened in the match I didn't expect for us to win at all, and at the end I thought I was done for. I'm pleased that at the end of the match the final kill is always shown, as I'm curious to see how this match was won.
I am then taken to view the final kill cam and on my HUD it says Game winning Kill, and on the bottom of the HUD it says Rom. So Rom has in fact made the final kill. I see her armed with her Vector K10 as well as her own personal white and pink gloved hands holding them. She's in the engine room with Ram and Vert.
The sequence goes as follows: as Ram tries to shoot Vert with her five seven and knife attachment, Vert quickly shoots her down. She then turns to face Rom as if to shoot, but Rom fires a lot of bullets at Vert causing Vert to die and fall to the ground. As I watched the final kill I couldn't help but feel that Vert could have easily have killed Rom there, I'm not convinced that it was a slip up or she was unable to kill Rom in time. I believe that Vert just allowed Rom to kill her, effectively allowing us to win.
It's rather odd and I grow rather suspicious of this, why would Vert our opponent our current enemy allow us to win the match. I mean she currently wishes to fight Lastation and throw her troops, her people away like confetti (though I do believe that it's not her as such as she's brainwashed). There's also how she's a gamer who's the best, and loves to win so why take a dive there.
Could it be that Vert is trying to fight her brainwashing, even it doesn't feel like she's successful? Which is understandable though I didn't think she had any free will at all, even if it is extremely weak. Or could it be that she's only managed to do it just the once here, to allow us to win another dream so we can carry on fighting? Or is it simply because of how Vert desires younger siblings, but I would have thought that Chika would fill that role. Maybe it could be down to how Vert took pity on Rom and let her kill her in the match, after constantly killing the both of them.
But in any case to see Vert actually win the match on our behalf despite what's going on is something, it's just a shame that seeing her isn't practical. What does concern me is do the others suspect that Vert allowed us to win, because if so it's unfortunate that I don't think she can be saved.
Still it's nice that we've won this rather interesting match involving the four nations in a two on two match, but what does concern me is despite the technicalities I don't feel like we have won. What if Vert didn't let Rom have the final kill? I guess there's nothing I can do about that now, but before we can celebrate and get our hands on them I find myself awake.
Oddly enough White is awake with me, we both exchange glances, glances of frustration that we didn't get to punish Neptune, but I suppose that's the whole point of all this that Neptune always gets away. I just hope that one day it'll no longer be true. Still at least we smile at our victory but I think she happens to feel that our victory was down to luck, not because of our superiority.
While we both wished to discuss our dreams, it's not morning yet and we're actually very tired. As a matter of fact we fall back to sleep as soon as we wake up. This surprises me as I would have thought the expectation of there being a nightmare would keep me awake. But after playing and "winning" the match, I wonder what I'll face tonight?
And so it is I now find myself in a different dream. The thing is I feel like I'm watching this dream rather than actually being in it. Another thing I find is that I'm in Lastation though while I do recognise it as the Lastation I know and have been in recently, there is something different about this place.
What makes me think this is that while I'm seeing Noire's gigantic bedroom, it doesn't appear to be as grand and the views it has aren't as great either. Instead of seeing a gigantic beautiful metropolis, I see nothing but large old worn down factories, with broken glass full of chimneys which produce nothing but black suffocating smoke. This does remind me of the first Neptunia game in some ways, goddess what a terrible game that was. I'm assuming this might actually be the Lastation basilicom, though I'm not exactly comfortable with how it resembles the bedroom I've been in, even if the appearance has changed for the worse.
In this ghastly place are two people though oddly enough it's a female and the shadow of a male. I recognise them to be Noire and Ganache, though Noire appears different and she's in her human attire from the first game, looking exactly the same as she did in that photo I've seen when we were teenagers, that must have been a few days ago now.
Although Noire looks attractive in her outfit, I feel uneasy seeing her like this. I sense that she's different to how I know her to be, and her being with Ganache does not make it easy for me. Seeing him now does help me jog my memory about him. I remember how he was in the first game, he was supposed to be an admirer of Noire, perhaps love interest and yet he's responsible for Avenir, a company that bankrupted everyone else and caused mass un employment and suffering. They even caused destruction on other factories. Not only this but he collaborated with Arfoire, the one who wished to destroy Gameindustri and hated Neptune. Oddly enough that Gameindustri was never a great planet to begin with, and I happen to despise Neptune myself, probably more than she does.
Yeah seeing them both does bring back some awful memories from the first game, and what frightens me is that the place even if it's altered tremendously, does resemble the place I've been in. It's as if I'm actually experiencing an event that has happened before I came to Lastation. It does feel like I'm looking at two bad guys right now, perhaps two of the most evil and yet they're supposed to represent Lastation. Already I want this dream to end, but I have no choice but to listen to what they have to say to each other.
"Good day Ganache how are you and Avenir doing?" Noire asks him though she sounds a bit stroppy, in fact she sounds just like she was in the series.
"Indeed it is Lady Black Heart, I am doing well and our plan is in motion. Avenir has complete control over all of Lastation's economy, and is completely run by machines. It's working on manufacturing weapons and devices that will help us to control Planeptune's civilians once and for all, as well to wipe Planeptune off the map. In fact the Industry output has increased exponentially very quickly, and does not need many people to run things.
Furthermore Arfoire in Lowee has plans to invade and destroy the Planeptunean cities as well, I'll be seeing her in Lowee soon where she's working with Blanc with regards developing her most powerful form." He explains, his voice makes me feel uneasy.
Yeah I can't help but feel unease with what he has just said. I can't help but tell that Avenir is ruining Lastaiton's economy making it very poor indeed, just as I remembered in the series. I get the feeling that there's no employment or at least very little of it. But this isn't right, I know for a fact that Lastation has the best economy and Noire always puts her people first, I know there's no unemployment and everyone has excellent wages and working conditions.
The thing is while this definitely does look like something that could have happened before I came here as I see this nightmare, I'm also aware of how this is probably Neptune's nonsense propaganda, but it still bothers me and I'd feel much better if I can prove that this hasn't happened, or perhaps find out what did actually happen.
It also feels distorted because sure both me and Noire would like to take control of Planeptune, but we do not want to destroy it or brain wash the people. We wish to control it so we can liberate it from Neptune and help it to be a prosperous nation.
While my hatred for Neptune and Plutia is endless, as well as the nonsense they produce (not to mention in their stupid series), Planeptune itself we have no quarrel with, as a matter of fact we both feel terrible that we can't save them right now from their tyrannous, cruel, heartless, jerk of a dictator.
It's déjà vu though as like before I want to believe that this is fake, and there is a reasonable explanation but even if there was before, I still feel bothered. Perhaps it's the brain washing from this nightmare kicking in that's making me believe this to be true, but the problem is how do I combat it? I'm not sure if I know a way of finding out the truth behind what really happened.
I suppose it'll have to wait until morning, as now I'm transported to what I'm guessing is their version of Lowee in this nightmare of mine.
I can only guess I'm in Lowee now, or more specifically Blanc's home as I'm now in a pretty dark, gigantic room which appears to be made of big stone bricks, though they're all old and full of cracks. Though it's hard to tell as I'm merely watching this rather than being in this room, I have a feeling that this room is tremendously cold.
There's nothing much in this room except books, I can only imagine this to be a library considering how much of a book worm Blanc is. Even so some library this is as there's mostly wooden shelves that are old, dusty and rotten. There are a few books but many of them are torn up and tatty, as well as dusty.
While I've no knowledge of what Blanc's home actually looks like as I've never been there, I get the feeling that it's not like that at all, and like with Lastation it's probably just Neptune's nonsense propaganda.
There are two people in this old, cold dead place, and considering how this place has little light due to the small windows, and even then it's snowing heavily with winds howling like wolves, I'm pleasantly surprised that I recognise them both instantly. They're both Blanc and Arfoire.
Blanc is wearing her mk2 human costume while Arfoire is wearing her usual costume from the series.
Arfoire's skin appears to be more pale compared to other people I've seen and her eyes are a dark red, while her hair is purple, messy and short. Her nails are black, long and clawed and she wears lots of dark make up. She appears to be dressed like a witch as she wears a tall black hat, with flowers and golden leaves with spiky thorns around it, though the hat appears to be worn and bent. She wears purple thorns which acts as a make shift necklace around her neck, and she wears a bustier like top which reveals much of her large breasts. Her top consists of string which ties the two sides of the top together. Her bustier like top expands downwards to the sides of her legs, like that of a dress. She wears black unattached sleeves with bits of purple around her wrists and upper arms. She wears a belt over what looks like black shorts. For footwear she wears long tall black boots with pointy toes like witch boots.
Despite Arfoire being the villain in the series, I actually had little hatred for this woman. Sure she despised Neptune but so do I (even if I consider myself to be the opposite to Arfoire). While she did want to destroy Gameindustri and that in itself is a bad thing, is it that bad considering that that Gameindustri was never a nice place to begin with? There was no justice, the landmasses were full of nonsense, and none of the CPUs appeared to have been competent. The thing is I do believe that good and evil is really a matter of perspective, and it's possible to do bad things for good reasons and good things for bad reasons.
Although I have my own views of Arfoire not being as evil as she's portrayed, I still feel uneasy with seeing her with Blanc. It's because of the idea of Blanc being evil in this nightmare, though being as this is one of Neptune's nuisance nightmares what did I expect?
The thing is as I see them both standing together in this room, I can't help but be reminded how Noire and Blanc once said about them never seeing them here, and not even hearing of them from here. The thing is despite what they've said and I believe them, my gut tells me that this sort of thing has happened before, but how can this be even possible? How can Arfoire have met Blanc when she shouldn't even exist here? I realise that this is the same with Noire and Ganache. Perhaps Neptune's propaganda may have something to do with this, but what is the real explanation and considering what happened the last time this sort of thing has happened, how can we find out what really happened?
I guess there's nothing I can do but to see this nightmare play out, they then have a conversation together and so I listen, even if I can tell that it's not going to be good.
"Greetings Lady White Heart, it's good to see you how are things?" Arfoire asks the Loweean CPU politely.
"Well fine until you showed up, don't you know that I was busy reading my books in peace you old hag?" Blanc snapped in a rather rude manner.
As you probably can guess I didn't really like the way she spoke to Arfoire, then again this was how she was in HDN. Yeah this does remind me somewhat of the first game just as Noire and Ganache did, but what troubles me is my gut now constantly telling me this sort of thing has happened. This is impossible what's going on, this version has got to be a fake but what's the true one? My head is starting to ache as I feel as though I'm getting brain washed.
"There's no need to talk to me like that Lady White Heart, after all you, Lady Black Heart and Ganache have volunteered to serve me in our quest to rule the world, and it's people with an iron fist…" Arfoire explains sounding quite patronising to the brown haired female Blanc.
They serve Arfoire and they've volunteered? This is I find odd and uncomforting, Neptune's really trying to make them look bad in these nightmares of hers isn't she. But what doesn't help is even if it's altered, this sort of thing has happened here and I'm sure of it.
"…We've made good progress in Lowee for example, you've kept all of the people in the cold quite literally, and you abuse those ungrateful servants of yours rather nicely. In fact I dare say you've done a good job in making them fear you, particularly with how you make rather good examples of those who dare to mock you, for who you are. It's nice how there are plenty of them tortured and left to die in the freezing cold as well.
Just imagine what we can do if we can have control of the Planeptune people, it will be inevitable as I've perfected the use of my other form, and Ganache has kindly given me weapons to use as well. Once this happens no one will dare to challenge us, and the planet shall be mine to rule with you and the Lastation CPU to share the benefits of my rule." Arfoire says to her with much enthusiasm at the thought of ruling the world.
I should have expected that Arfoire would talk of Blanc being a terrible tyrant just as Ganache did about Noire, but even so it sends chills down my spine hearing it and it disgusts me. It makes no sense, I know that Blanc and Noire care about their people, and would never harm them like that. I must admit as I see this happen before, this nightmare, this flashback, it's becoming impossible to know what to believe as I sense the brain washing even more so. But how is this happening? I would have thought that the brainwashing facilities in Kanto pokemon province are not online yet, but maybe they are online and if so I just hope our agents are able to sabotage them now, though I doubt how successful they'll be in their attempt.
After seeing the two in Lowee in this memory or whatever, it is now it takes me to a different location entirely.
Unlike the other two locations where there were bleak and dreadful, this one appears to be more pleasant. It's nice and sunny without a cloud in the sky and the buildings are futuristic, clean, purple and tall. This must be a metropolis as there are lots of crowds here walking around, as well as cars that hover moving on the roads and up high past the buildings at certain levels. There are also monorails full of various trains which have tracks which coil around the buildings.
My gut feeling informs me that this is supposed to be Planeptune from the series, and I somehow know that the Planeptune in my world doesn't look anything like this. Despite the place looking prosperous, wonderful and futuristic, I can't help but not like this city at all. It's because of the nonsense with it, it's Planeptune why would Planeptune look this nice when it doesn't have a good CPU as it's leader like Lastation and Lowee does? I've always hated the bias of the series, how Planeptune was portrayed as superior when in reality it's inferior. While I understand why one thinks I should be happy to see a nice place despite it being Planeptune, I know too well that Planeptune probably looks like a dystopia than a utopia, especially considering what I've learned from both Noire and Blanc, as well as using logic considering what has happened.
Whatever the case this place is to be short lived, as these buildings get demolished by some unknown powerful force. They topple over like dominos and many of them are ripped apart, the cars and the people down below try to flee in panic, as the metropolis is now full of smoke and fire, as various fire balls are shot in their direction. It's not long afterwards until the city is replaced with mountains of rubble and debris, as well as demolished cars that are flipped all over the place, there are also countless dead bodies lying around, some with various limbs missing. I can only begin to imagine that this is because of Arfoire, but I'm sure she doesn't exist and despite how rough it is over there, I didn't think an entire metropolis has ever been destroyed like that with such ease and force, unless of course Neptune were to do that being as how I know what she's really like.
It's not long afterwards before I'm taken to a different location, it's still the very metropolis which is now full of rubble and nothing but destroyed buildings and cars, as well as other things like signs and boxes, though here is where the Planeptune CPUs and their makers are, as they see the remaining survivors flee in panic, lucky to have escaped the carnage and destruction though not without a few minor injuries. The CPUs and makers present consist of Neptune, Plutia, Nepgear, Peashy (all 4 of them in their HDD forms) as well as Compa, IF, Gust and Nisa.
"That Arfoire what nerve having Lastation and Lowee work for her, we've got to make her pay for destroying our beautiful capital metropolis. They mustn't get away with this." Neptune calls out to her allies, only for them to nod in agreement.
It is then afterwards that IF leads the other 7 to where she believes Arfoire to be, and soon after that she is found though she appears to be in her other form.
When a CPU transforms, even though only some of them look more attractive though for all of them their appearance changes, at least they all look human and more adult. With Arfoire however she does not look like a human at all. She's now a purple monster which is unbelievably massive and she definitely dwarfs the 8 females. The monster is on all fours and has lots of spiky claws on each of their feet, as well as a head with lots of spiky teeth. On top of the monster appears to be Arfoire and behind her is more of the creature, which appears to be attached to the bottom consisting of four arms with sharp claws as well as a head. To the side are what looks like wings though they appear metallic rather than organic.
I remember seeing this in the series and despite it trying to look intimidating, especially after destroying their metropolis, none of the 8 people are scared of it and look determined to take it down for their nation.
As I watch this I can't help but root for neither of them, and just wish that this nightmare can just end so I can wake up and perform my duty. I don't feel my head aching anymore and oddly enough I don't feel the effects of the brainwashing, though something tells me I need to do something important when I get up, just as I did when I had to prove Noire is innocent. Perhaps it's a similar thing with this trying to find out what really happened despite me knowing this to be false, it doesn't help how it's happened here and I know something similar to this happened here, even if the events are altered by Neptune's nonsense. With this being her propaganda it wouldn't surprise me if they were to have a heroic victory, while Arfoire would be defeated, but for me I just hope it will end quickly because I've had about enough of this nightmare, I really have but what is it all about anyway, what did really happen then? I'll have to think about this when it's done and mind talk to my allies about this.
I suppose all I can do is listen to the exchange of words they have before seeing the exchanges of blows, though no doubt it'll only go one way.
"Hahahahahahaha. What do you think to your metropolis now Neptune? You know you're my least favourite person here, and now I'm going to do to you what I just did to your pathetic capital. This world shall be mine and all its people, and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Arfoire laughs as she talks to the Planeptune joke sounding rather evil as she talks.
"Oh really? I think you'll find that you won't succeed when dealing with us, when I defeat you I will make you pay for your evil deeds. Come on ladies let's kick her bum so we can go home and have pudding." Neptune speaks as she rallies her troops.
Ah good the conversation didn't last that long, after which the dragon monster breathes fire at them as well as fire balls, but while the CPUs are able to dodge the attacks easily, the makers: IF, Compa, Gust and Nisa are finding it more difficult, though they still manage to move out of the way unscathed.
It's not long afterwards before the 8 of them work together as they hope to take her down, they have a couple of them trying to dodge Arfoire's attacks, while the rest of them try to strike her rear and on top of her. Although they prove to be successful in hitting Arfoire without being harmed, they realise that because of how powerful this beast is, their attacks do minimum damage to her.
Despite the stalemate of this battle, both sides continue to fight on as they show much hatred to each opposing side. I can't help but wonder from what I remember whether both sides are preparing themselves, before they can deliver their super moves to their opponents, but even though Arfoire tries out various attacks that appear to be very powerful and do damage to a wide area, it always result in the same outcome with the CPUs helping the makers to move out of the way of their attacks.
Soon afterwards however all the makers and CPUs then perform their super moves, which are their most powerful moves and cause the most damage. With the 8 of them coordinating their attacks on the monster, attacking at different spots, the combined attack causes phenomenal damage to her that even she gets badly damaged, as a matter of fact she's in so much pain that she's forced to transform back into Arfoire's regular form, with Ganache now appearing next to her.
Due to the attacks the pair are unable to continue the fight, as they're on the floor lying in pain as well as exhaustion. Ganache himself appears to be unconscious. As Arfoire tries to get up completely covered in cuts and bruises, she knows she's at their mercy and none of the eight some look pleased to see her, even if they've just defeated her.
"I told you you wouldn't succeed against us, you forget that this is Hyperdimension Neptunia where I am the main character, where as you are the main antagonist and Lastation and Lowee are the butt monkeys." Neptune speaks sounding pleased with her victory, though she was certain it would happen.
"That's exactly right, the side of justice triumphs and the side of evil fails as usual." Nisa speaks in her annoying super heroine tone.
"And now I'll be happy to make you my pet. Um I wonder what shall I do to you?" Plutia gloats in her sadistic tone.
"Do what ever you like with her, once we send her to prison. Meanwhile we should go home and eat till our bellies are full and game all day and all night, when I get bored I might consider going to Lastation and Lowee, kick all the bosses buts and perhaps show the two CPUs how to rule properly." Neptune responds to them smiling away.
Oddly enough despite the propaganda, I didn't really get a feel that Neptune actually cares about her people or her destroyed city, especially considering how she'll just eat and game rather than do something about those homeless and injured people, as well as to rebuild the metropolis and look for survivors. Mind you in the series Neptune has never convinced me that she cares about the people, or any of the other members of her poor party.
What does it matter as finally this stupid nightmare which has given me grief and annoyance has now finally ended, and I'm now awake ready to help the people in the camp so that we can eventually capture Viridian Forest. I'm as alert as possible despite the various dreams I've had, but what knocks me metaphorically is seeing in my HUD that I have to find out what really happened in that last dream by tonight, or tomorrow I will be forced to kill White and White will be forced to kill me.
I now see White waking up, she appears quite concerned and stressed.
"Did you see that nightmare about Ganache and Noire, as well as Arfoire and Blanc?" I ask her via mindtalk.
"Yeah I'm glad the nightmare is over, but it does stress me as I do get the feeling that this is an event that has actually happened, though I do feel that it is distorted. I'm curious to know what happened though it does worry me that my HUD and perhaps yours as well, tells me that I need to find out what really happened or else I will be forced to kill you. I don't know how we can find out considering that Blanc never has made contact with Arfoire.
It'll be such a shame to have died from killing each other, especially after we've fought so hard especially in that match. Though it is odd that Vert has apparently allowed Rom to have the final kill. It makes no sense." She replies sounding depressed, depressed with this idea that our fight against each other will be inevitable.
"Yeah I've thought that myself, in any case it's not guard that it was a close one and it was down to Vert allowing us to win, rather than us actually beating them. I'd love to know why she did it, but still we live to fight another day even if today may be the last one." I reply trying to sound upbeat but the circumstances prove to be too much for me.
"Good to see you both awake, I hope you two have had a great night sleep though it's a shame that thanks to that stupid Neptune I doubt it's the case. While you two were asleep the brainwashing facilities in Kanto were testing their brain washing, but fortunately soon afterwards our agents stationed there have sabotaged them, removing their brainwashing capabilities for at least a while hopefully. Despite their best efforts I just hope that they don't suspect any acts of sabotage, or at least committed by those guys. While I'm able to keep them safe I just hope that they can return to their positions safely, before the enemy has a chance to use the facilities again even if it's a test.
It's unfortunate that we don't have the spare resources to invade Kanto province. Hopefully you two won't be affected by the brain washing and we can at least make progress in liberating Virdian Forest." Uni informs us via mind talk.
Ah that explains why I felt brain washed only for it to go.
"Yeah I don't think we've slept well but we'll do our best anyway. Unfortunately we've both been brainwashed and we have to find out what really happened at the time Noire has spoke with Ganache, and Blanc has spoke with Arfoire, only for Ganache and Arfoire to destroy a Planeptune metropolis and fail, or else me and White are forced to kill each other. It's odd because I know that event has happened even if it's distorted, but Ganache and Arfoire don't exist here do they?" I reply to them.
"That's right they don't, we've never encountered them here. I'll have to speak with Noire and Blanc about this, I can't help but wonder if they're actually different people who might resemble those two in some way, only for those people to have died in Planeptune, probably to give aid.
It's so sad the numerous aid attempts we've given to Planeptune, only for them to get intercepted. It's also unfortunate that it's not long afterwards before we were forced to leave due to the wars we've had with Leanbox and Lowee. I feel so sad as do Noire that we're forced to leave the aid workers and troops behind, it's against our beliefs and it pains me to know that they would have been tortured, and perhaps killed if not kept in prison in the most horrific of conditions." Uni replies to me sounding rather depressed.
"I wonder whether it's a matter of rescuing them to find out what really happened, but we've no way of getting into Planeptune now unfortunately, and ideally we could do with finding out who the real people were, because that event has definitely happened." I say trying to help, though I don't sound really positive as I mind talk.
"Yeah I'll try and get Noire and Blanc to ask for information about whether the Planeptune refugees know of any aid workers that were taken prisoner by Planeptune, I highly doubt there'll be anyone though. It's such a shame that I don't see how we can solve this problem, and yet if it isn't solved by tonight, either one of you will die or worse, and I don't want either of you two to die or be brainwashed, you're our only hope." She replies holding back the tears as she worries about us dying.
"Since that event tried to make Noire look bad like the Nep sisters tried to do before in my first night, I just hope that by being good I can help fight the brain washing. I just hope something comes up because what can I do besides carrying on our fight here, rescuing allied soldiers, taking control of camps and ultimately bringing Virdian Forest to our control?" I say sounding rather hopeless due to the situation.
"We'll do our best to help you as well but as much as I hate to admit it I don't know, I mean I'd like to send our satellites over Planeptune to find out if they have any prisoners, but I don't want to take the risk due to the brain washing facilities that we know they have, as well as how they may be able to detect anything that enters their radius, we could potentially have Planeptune to deal with as well as Leanbox, and we wouldn't have the resources to fight on two fronts." She replies in a similar tone to me.
"I won't give up hope just yet, I just hope that something or someone I encounter here may help, maybe Noire and Blanc might know who they actually spoke to on that day, or have it recorded somewhere though I'm not sure if it's the case." I say to her trying to sound optimistic.
"I'm sure they'll remember, they're CPUs they remember everything that have happened to them here. Since this event took place here it should be in their memory somewhere. If it's finding someone who resembles Ganache and Arfoire, I'm sure it can be done and I'm sure they'll remember if it's distinctive. All I can do is just hope that we find the real duo, but even then how to rescue them. I just hope that finding out the real people and what happened will do it, though I'm unsure if even that can be done." She speaks to me in a mixture of tones due to the hope she has as well as the bleakness of the situation.
"Yeah thanks for the help and don't worry, we'll keep doing our best and we should never give in. We should keep fighting and trying what ever happens, good luck in Lastation." I then reply trying to sound determined.
"And same to you good luck in Lowee, I wish to say that Noire and Blanc are very proud of what you're doing over there and hope that you can succeed.
Also I would like to congratulate you on your performance in that match, if it weren't for you our score wouldn't have been high. It concerns me that we've won because of Vert, not because of our superiority. I mean we have fought well and we have defeated them before, but the problem is we cannot afford to lose to them even if it is the once. We need to keep defeating them if we're to survive." Uni replies to me with the same tone.
"I completely agree and same to you. We just have to keep doing our best at least we've lasted this long, I just hope one day we can win these wars and finally find out what is going on regarding them. Still at least we can take pride of our undefeated streak." I say to her trying to sound optimistic.
"Thank you very much and you're absolutely right, hopefully we can win today. The thing is just to let you know in about a few minutes we'll be dropping off some supplies including ammunition, food and even a few troops as well as plenty of perk a colas in disguise. " She says to me with much love and care.
After thanking her, it is then I pay attention to our mission today, which is to regroup with as many allies as possible before taking a camp that is on the convoy route. With luck we can capture the convoy and it's supplies meaning that they can't launch missiles against us. I realise that I'm better off just focusing on the mission for today, as opposed to dealing with the brainwashing as there's little I can do, whereas with the supplies there's much I can do and much I will do. And so I quickly get ready and wait for our supplies to come with much excitement, in putting them to good use.
