Hear me, all those who live and breathe across Gamindustri.
Hear ye, all Gamindustri residents far and wide.
This day represents the first step into a new era,
We take one giant leap toward a new era today.
and I am thrilled that you and I are able to greet it together.
It brings me great pleasure to be together with you all
As you all know,
in recent years
as we welcome this joyous day.
there
has been
no end to this world's warring
.
As you all know,
Lastation,
ruled
by
the goddess Black Heart.
this world
has been
torn by strife over the past few years
.
Lowee,
ruled
by
the goddess White Heart.
Lastation,
governed
by
its CPU,
the goddess Black Heart.
Leanbox,

on occasion the

Share
E

forms
the
basis
of
national power in this world.
We will
now
put
that
behind us
.
The four
nation
s competed over it,
and
sometimes we
goddesses
ourselves came to blows.
The
friendship
treaty we
sign
today
will
ban
taking Share
s with military
force.
But
now
that
will become a thing of the past
.
From
now on, we'll increase our Shares through improving our own countries,
The
treaty of
friendship
that shall be
sign
ed
today
fostering the whole world's development.
will
prohibit
taking Share
Energy by
force.
We hereby
vow
to overcome
our
past and create a world
full of
hope.
From
this point onward, the only way to acquire it will be by making one's country a better place,
which will lead to worldwide development and progress.
We hereby
swear
to overcome
the
past and create a world
filled with
hope.

It's all finished!
Done and dusted!
I see the gap between your personalities is as drastic as ever.
The difference between your two forms never fails to amaze me, Neptune.
Whatever, Noire, the important thing is, what did
you think of my speech
?!
That aside, what'd
you think of my speech
, Noire?
W-
Well, it wasn't bad
--but
I'm
sure Histoire wrote it for you.
Well, it wasn't bad
...
Aw.
Though
I'm
pretty
sure Histoire wrote it for you.
I don't like
that you got
all
the
freakin' limelight.
It sure pisses me off
that you got
to hog
the
spotlight.
Aw

that

C'mon

It seems childish to complain about it now.
Saying that now just makes you sound immature.
Yeah! Cuz we're not enemies anymore--we're comrades now! R

She's right!
One
month has
passed since that
deeply moving
ceremony.
After all, we're no longer enemies!

Are you listening to me?
Neptune, CPUs have

Well,
I guess
these peaceful days just turned my brain to mush!

Neptune, CPUs have

Thanks, Nepgear!
Wanna go PvP?
Sis!
Yeah!
Tea'

Et tu, Nepgear?
Thanks, Nepgear!
Enough is enough!
Wanna go head-to-head?
Nep?!
Sure!
Hey, it says in the user manual not to do that!
Not you too, Nepgear!
Don't try this at home, okay kids?
Knock it off!
A meaningless string of characters
Zoinks!
Tell me, compiler
Hey, the manual said not to do that!
A binary tree in disarray
Don't try this at home, kids!
Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s...

Yep! Now I'm on my way to see Nep-Nep!
Yes.
W-We'd be better off without goddesses.
I'm on my way to Nep-Nep's place.
Okay, I'll join
you.
Oh, then I'll go with
you.
We should live by

Please

Take a
look at this!
Please look at
the Shar

At
the Shar
e Crystal, not me!
Is there something the matter with the Sharicite
?
What about it
?
The Share energy collected in this crystal has been declining recently.
The amount of Share Energy gathered in our country's Share Crystal
Aw, we've still got lots left. Nothing to worry about
, right?
is currently showing a downward trend.
Wrong!
You know where
Shares
come
from, don't you?
There's still a whole bunch.
The
belief
of
a country's
citizens
in the
ir goddess
, right?
No need to worry
, right?
Yes. Which means the hearts of the people
Of course there is!
are
gradually drifting away from
Neptune!
You know where
we get
Shares
from, don't you?
W
hat?
But I haven
't
done
anything
to
make them hate me
!
Oh...
You kind of haven't
done anything
to
make them
like
you
lately
, either.
The
feelings
of
trust that the
citizens
place
in the
CPU who rules them
, right?
Oh, I mean
...
Indeed.
Nepgear's right
, and you know it.
This downward trend shows that our citizens
are
slowly falling out of love with
Neptune!
Excuse us, Miss Histoire. We overheard you talking.
Say w
hat?
IF and Compa, you two are always welcome.
I don
't
remember doing
anything
that'd
make them hate me
.
You're siding with Histy too, Iffy?! But not you, Compa, right?
I don't think you've
done anything
recently that'd
make them
love
you
, either.
Nep-Nep, you just look at this.
W-Well
...
Let's free ourselves from dependence on the CPUs!
Nepgear's right
.
We don't need goddesses!
We're sorry, Lady Histoire.
No to Goddesses!
We just happened to overhear the conversation.
Hmm? "We don't need goddesses"...
I don't mind if it's you two.
For these people to understand you, Nep-Nep, you need to work harder!
Not you too, Iffy!
Now everybody's against me! I'm in a major pinch!
Are you gonna take Histy's side as well?
It's this country that's in a pinch!
But you're different, right, Compa?
CPUs are goddesses who are supposed to constantly work for the good of their people.
Look at this, Nep-Nep.
That's why they have their great powers, you know.
As a wise man once said,
Man, I hate getting lectured.
Wonder if I can escape somehow...
"With great power comes great responsibility"!
Oh, I know!
I'm gonna go get some schooling in the goddess arts!
Huh?
Huh?

Schooling from
whom?
"We don't need goddesses."
Um
... Noire!
Ack!
In order to make these people understand you,
you need to work much harder at your job.
She hit my weak point for massive damage!
I'm in big trouble!
It's this nation that's in big trouble!
For one thing, CPUs are supposed to devote all their blood, sweat, and tears to their citizens!
That is why you possess the great powers that you do.
Man, lectures are the worst.
With great power comes great responsibility!
How can I get away from here?
Oh, right!
I'll go learn what it means to be a CPU!
Huh?
Learn? From
whom?
Uh

What?!

Okay, I'm not following this...
I don't really get what's happening here, you see.
Why is my neighbor country's CPU napping in my
Basilicom?!
Mind explaining to me why a neighboring country's CPU is sleeping at our
Basilicom?!
Oh, don't mind me, you can work! It won't bother me.
Oh, just pretend I'm not here and carry on with your job.
It'll bother me!
I don't mind.

Hey,
we're

We signed a

I don't intend to extend an olive branch to my

It d

competing for Shares! So we're enemies.
Hey,
I'm

Mean comments like that are why people say you don't have any
friends!
We signed a
treaty of

I-I

We

What's her name and where's she

You're still my enemy.
Noire, I finished

See, you keep saying all these totally uncute things!
Oh, thanks

Set

That's why people say you have no
friends!
S-Say

I-I
do
have a friend!
I finished fast this time, right? I worked really hard--
Really?
Yes, I suppose. You've worked your way up to average, anyway.
Who?
Hey!
Was Uni the friend you were talking about?
Where are they
from?
What do they do?
I'm not sure little sisters count as "friends"!
Huh?
No! I have... another one...
Uh

Oh really? You sure you're not really a lonely

I'm done with

Hey there

Nepgear.
Just put
them over there.
Sorry my big sister interrupted your talk.
U-Um
...
It's okay. Sis always treats me that way.
I was quite fast this time, wasn't I?
Apparently she won't compliment
me unless I do a better job than
her.
I gave it my all—
Even though she must
know that's
impossible..
.
Guess so.
You've reached normal levels now, I suppose.
Hey!
Is Uni that so-called friend of yours?
I don't think you can call your sister a friend.
You've got the wrong idea.
I have other—
Really?
That's what you say, but aren't you just a
loner?
No
way
!
Nepgear.
..
Sorry my sister had to butt in.
Nah, it's fine.
That's how Sis always is with me.
Looks like she won't ever praise
me unless I do a better job than
she would.
We all
know that's
just not gonna happen, though

innocent.
But unlike us, your sisters are so

Perhaps
we can be friendlier

I wonder if

Stop

of
my papers

What?
You said
a
goddess's first duty was taking care of paperwork--
Get your hands
of
f those documents
!
Do
it in
your
own work

ace!
What?
Jeez, I'm losing my motivation.
But being
a
CPU starts with sorting out documents—
What's with that condescending look?!
Do
that at
your
own work
pl
ace!
Er
...
Tch.
You've got
requests from
the
citizens
to take care of monsters
, right?
You're such a wet blanket.
How about
you teach her about being a goddess out on
a
mission?
Where do you get off being so condescending?!
Yeah, then
she wo
n't
have
to
touch
any
documents
!
Um
...
True enough
.
You've got
monster hunting
requests from
your
citizens
, right?
This
is a
good
one. And it
's
right near Planeptune
.
How about
teaching Neptune what it means to be
a
CPU while we're at it?
Does that mean you
want me
to go
straight home from there?
Oh,
she wo
uld
n't
need
to
lay a finger on
any
of the
documents
that way.
Of course. You

Right!
Wait, why are you acting like the leader?!
It
's
nice and close to the border, too

We
're clearing
monster
s from
two places.
Does that mean you
're telling us
to go
back to Planeptune after we
're
done?
The N
asuune Highlands and the nearby Toruune Cave.
Well duh.
Neither of them are particularly high-level--
I can't

All right

T

A mass outbreak of
Dogoos

We're

Rule
three: impress people by making a good showing

It seems Neptune and Nepgear, our neighbors from Planeptune,

Hey, stay out of
there!
Your eyes hold an unshakeable sentiment
Letting their faint yet violent
They brought light into
the darkness
Flame of life
burn
away
I
t's all too much
...
This tickles!
Let's reach for the future now
I'm gonna die!
Even if I get hurt, I'm not scared of anything
Their eyes speak of their desires
Because you're right there, and always kind
And shine a ray of light in
the darkness
I'll send your soul to a world of despair!
I
...can't
...
Flame Soul Slice!
So I reach out to the future
Iffy, help me out too!
It may be a thorny road but I have nothing to fear
Ora ora ora ora!
Because you're there with me
Put more effort into this, Neptune.
I'm gonna send your souls all the way back to Hell!
I'll crush you!
Spectral Edge!
Ugh, I don't wanna look at any jellies

Why didn't you

Quit slacking.
Well,

I'm Abnes!
Ally of little girls everywhere!
I'm the anchor of Abnes Channel, a super-hit web show.
Don't you recognize me?
Come now, let's get this broadcast started!
Broadcast?
Hello to all our viewers across the world!
This is Abnes, idol to little girls everywhere!
Today, we're here to visit Blanc, Lowee's little girl CPU!
Hey, knock it the hell off before I—
By the way, is it true that Rom and Ram, your little sisters, got kidnapped?
How'd you know?
It is true!
I'm so worried!
So, Blanc, how does it feel to have your precious little sisters snatched away from you?
Good heavens, that Blanc.
This is an emergency! Why does she have to keep up that stubborn facade?
Yeah, that's supposed to be your shtick, Noire.
Excuse me?!
Um, ladies...
In truth—
Sis, what's going on up there?
Well then, Blanc, are you saying it's all your fault your sisters got kidnapped?
Well...
Get a load of this!
The little girl CPU can't say anything at all in her own defense!
Little girls just aren't cut out to rule a nation, after all.
They should be living carefree lives full of fun and games!
Abnes Channel stands wholly opposed to little girls playing CPU!
Hey! What's going on here?!
Who are you?
Who are you?

I am Abnes. I fight for children!
I'm Neptune!
Huh?
Planeptune's CPU!
Sheesh, I'm the star reporter of the hit internet show "Abnes Channel"!
You're a CPU too?
Don't you recognize me?! Okay, time to start the live broadcast!
I guess you technically look old enough to be a teenager,
Live?
but your body's too underdeveloped!
Hi there, Gamindustri! It's Abnes, idol of all the world's children!
You're a little girl!
I'm here today with Lowee's little-girl CPU, Blanc!
Certified!
Listen, you bi--
Wha? Did I really just get certified as a little girl by an even littler girl?
Now, Blanc, are the rumors true? Have your little sisters been kidnapped?
Huh? In what way am I a little girl?
How did you know that?
It takes one to know one, you know!
So it is true! Abnes is so worried.
So that means you are
a little girl!
So, how does it feel to have your beloved little sisters kidnapped?
You're the one who's calling people little girls left and right!
Honestly, that Blanc!
Did you just call me a little girl again?!
An emergency like this is no time to be pig-headed!
Hold
it right there!
Yeah, Noire's the one with the patent on acting tough!
I'll let you off
the hook for today,
Excuse me?!
little girl CPU!
Girls, the truth is--
Say what, pintsize?!
Neptune, what do you think that's about?
Yeah, get outta here, little girl!
In other words, your sisters' kidnapping is your fault, isn't it, Blanc?
Your face makes me wanna hurl!
I-I...
What in Gamindustri was that?
See this, kids? The little-girl CPU hasn't got a single excuse!
I wonder how
they got
in
.
Being a goddess is just too much responsibility for little girls!
Little girls should play games and take life easy!
The Abnes Channel is firmly against little-girl goddesses!
Hey, whaddya think you're doing?!
Who do you think you are?
I'm Neptune! The goddess of Planeptune!
You're a goddess, too?
Well, you technically look old enough to be hitting puberty...
But your body's underdeveloped!
You're a little girl! I declare you
a little girl!
What?! I just got little-girled by a girl littler than me!
I'm most certainly not a little girl! And it takes one to know one!
Which'd definitely make you the little girl, since you called me one first!
Oh, you said it again!
Wa
it right there!
I'll let you off
with a warning today, little-girl goddess!
Oh yeah, little girl?! Bring it on, little girl! Poor widdle girlie!
For heaven's sake. What was that about?
I wonder how
she snuck
in
here..

What
happened to her?
What
's wrong?
Maybe the people
of Lowee
just watched
that
interview,
What if lots
of Lowee
's residents saw
that
broadcast just now?
and
her Shares
plummeted?
Maybe it caused
her Shares
to crash or something.
Oh
! And when a CPU doesn
't
have enough
Share
s, she loses her power, right?
Oh
, yeah. CPUs can
't
use much energy when their
Share
reserves are low.
I don't think
Shares
made her faint. She wouldn
't
feel the effects
that
fast
.
I don't think
this has anything to do with
Shares
.
Public opinion can
't
be swayed
that
quickly
.
Then...
Then...
Ladies.
Ladies.

There
is a way.
There
's still something we can do.
We'll track down
Rom and Ram.
I know how we can find
Rom and Ram.
The truth is,
Blanc and I
have been working on
a
project.
Blanc and I
were trying to put
a
certain plan into action.
I assume you know that there
used to
be
a satellite
service
in Lowee?
You're aware Lowee
used to
offer
a satellite
imagery
service
, yes?
Hmm, I think
it was called
the "Basillaview"
?
If I remember correctly,
it was called
Terra View, wasn't it
?
The
thing
that
ended
around
ten years
ago, right?
The
one
that
was closed down
around
a decade
ago, right?
Yes.
As it turns out, the satellites are still active,
Yes.
and they can relay images of the world's terrain.
That satellite's still functioning, actually.
However, they're low-resolution.
It can still take and send pictures of the surface.
Leanbox
labs have developed software
They're pretty low-resolution, though.
to analyze the data and produce high-res images.
Leanbox
's research institute developed software that could analyze the data
That's our Vert! Your people are so tech-savvy!
and produce images of a much higher resolution.
So I approached Blanc with an offer:
Wow. Your country's crazy advanced!
If Lowee will provide their image data, Leanbox will provide our software.
And so I made Blanc an offer.
What?
But that gives the two of you a monopoly on all the world's information!
I said we'd let her have this software if she provided us with photographic data of Lowee.
Whoa, we'll be in trouble if people see too much of what we’re doing!
What?
No, we
planned for everyone to
shar
e the data
.
That means that you two would have data on the whole world to yourselves!
It was Blanc's
suggestion.
Huh? Having you peeking at us all day would be no fun at all!
She said that since we've
signed a
friendship
treaty,
No, we
were thinking of
shar
ing this information with everyone
.
our
four
countries
should
use it
equal
ly.
It was Blanc's
idea.
"We
signed a
treaty of
friendship
, so all
four
nations
should
have
equal
access."
Really?
Really?

Healing them, obviously. My saliva has healing effects!
I called them and delivered
our ransom
demands.
I-I see...
Wait
, what are you doing?
!
Who'd have guessed they were hiding in an under-construction attraction?
Healing them, of course!
Okay, time to break in and kick butt!
My saliva is a miraculous panacea that cures any ill!
One moment.
Th-That so?
Nep?
I'll have you two feeling better lickety-split!
Priority number one in this sort of situation is securing the hostages.
Who would've thought they'd be hiding within a ride that was under construction?
No
, stop it! I said s

it!
All right, time to crash this party!
Please, no more

Hold on.
That's quite enough

What's up?
In situations like these, you need to make sure the hostages are safe first.

Huh?

I'm a gentleman, you know.
What's wrong with large breasts?
I only like little girls.
They're just doomed to sag.
I've no interest in those cancerous growths on your chest.
I do believe you've made me angry.
Wh-What's wrong with being well-endowed?
You're a CPU?!
All I can see is how much they'll sag one day.
Green Heart,

Looks like you've managed to anger me.
Oh, crap! Ransom money: no longer my biggest problem.

You're a CPU?!
Your wimpy attacks won't work on me!

I wouldn't be too sure.

Taste this spear of the maelstrom!
Oh, shit!

We'll see about that.

CR Hear me, all those who live and breathe across Gamindustri. This day represents the first step into a new era, and I am thrilled that you and I are able to greet it together. As you all know, in recent years there has been no end to this world's warring. Lastation, ruled by the goddess Black Heart. Lowee, ruled by the goddess White Heart. Leanbox, ruled by the goddess Green Heart. And Planeptune, ruled by yours truly, Purple Heart. Our kingdoms have vied for Share energy, the source of a nation's strength, and on occasion the goddesses have even battled for ownership. We will now put that behind us. The friendship treaty we sign today will ban taking Shares with military force. From now on, we'll increase our Shares through improving our own countries, fostering the whole world's development. We hereby vow to overcome our past and create a world full of hope. Yahoo! It's all finished! I see the gap between your personalities is as drastic as ever. Whatever, Noire, the important thing is, what did you think of my speech?! W-Well, it wasn't bad--but I'm sure Histoire wrote it for you. Aw. I don't like that you got all the freakin' limelight. Aw, Blanc, we promised to drop that subject! I regret deciding things with rock-paper-scissors. Oh, why not let it go? It seems childish to complain about it now. Yeah! Cuz we're not enemies anymore--we're comrades now! Right? One month has passed since that deeply moving ceremony. Neptune! You haven't been doing your CPU job at all! Sonic Jump! Dang it! Are you listening to me?! Hmm? I guess I'm like, complacent about peace now, you know? Neptune, CPUs have lots of work to-- Neptune! The tea is ready! Thanks, Nepgear! Wanna go PvP? Yeah! Et tu, Nepgear? Enough is enough! Nep?! Hey, it says in the user manual not to do that! Don't try this at home, okay kids? A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Hyperdimension Neptunia The Goddess (Neptune) of Planeptune Iffy! Compa! Did you just get off work? Yep! Now I'm on my way to see Nep-Nep! W-We'd be better off without goddesses. Okay, I'll join you. We should live by regulations that-- Please look at this! Please look at the Sharicite! Is there something the matter with the Sharicite? The Share energy collected in this crystal has been declining recently. Aw, we've still got lots left. Nothing to worry about, right? Wrong! You know where Shares come from, don't you? The belief of a country's citizens in their goddess, right? Yes. Which means the hearts of the people are gradually drifting away from Neptune! What? But I haven't done anything to make them hate me! You kind of haven't done anything to make them like you lately, either. Oh, I mean... Nepgear's right, and you know it. Excuse us, Miss Histoire. We overheard you talking. IF and Compa, you two are always welcome. You're siding with Histy too, Iffy?! But not you, Compa, right? Nep-Nep, you just look at this. Let's free ourselves from dependence on the CPUs! We don't need goddesses! No to Goddesses! Hmm? "We don't need goddesses"... For these people to understand you, Nep-Nep, you need to work harder! Now everybody's against me! I'm in a major pinch! It's this country that's in a pinch! CPUs are goddesses who are supposed to constantly work for the good of their people. That's why they have their great powers, you know. As a wise man once said, Man, I hate getting lectured. Wonder if I can escape somehow... "With great power comes great responsibility"! Oh, I know! I'm gonna go get some schooling in the goddess arts! Huh? Schooling from whom? Um... Noire! What?! Noire from Lastation! Okay, I'm not following this... Why is my neighbor country's CPU napping in my Basilicom?! Oh, don't mind me, you can work! It won't bother me. It'll bother me! I'm sorry, Noire. Sis! What's the problem? Weren't you going to ask how to be a good CPU? Sorry, but no. I have no intention of helping the enemy. Hey, we're not enemies! We signed a friendship treaty, so we're comr-- It doesn't change the fact that we're competing for Shares! So we're enemies. Mean comments like that are why people say you don't have any friends! I-I do too have a friend! Really? Who? What's her name and where's she from?! Huh? I-I... um... Noire, I finished these documents! Oh, thanks, Uni. Set them over there. S-Say... I finished fast this time, right? I worked really hard-- Yes, I suppose. You've worked your way up to average, anyway. Hey! Was Uni the friend you were talking about? I'm not sure little sisters count as "friends"! No! I have... another one... Oh really? You sure you're not really a lonely loner? No, I'm not! Nepgear. Sorry my big sister interrupted your talk. It's okay. Sis always treats me that way. Apparently she won't compliment me unless I do a better job than her. Even though she must know that's impossible... Uni... I can't even transform yet. Well, neither can I, and neither can Rom or Ram. I-I suppose out of the four of us, I'll be the one to do it first. There you go! But I'll fight you for it. A message... It's from Rom. She knows I'm in Lastation? I told her. She was really jealous. Nepgear and Uni are so lucky, getting to play together... How come we don't get to visit other countries?! Don't act selfish. I wanna hang out with Nepgear and Uni too! You're interrupting my work. Why, why, why?! Come on! Shut the hell up! I told ya, I'm workin'! Big meanie. Let's go, Rom. Wait, Ram... Sorry for the commotion. Nonsense, it's fine. Unlike us with our history of fighting, the younger sisters are quite innocent. Perhaps we can be friendlier, too? Just because we've stopped using force, that doesn't turn us into good neighbors overnight. More importantly... Yes. Let me tell you the rest of the proposal. Whoops! Stop it! Don't touch any more of my papers! What? You said a goddess's first duty was taking care of paperwork-- Do it in your own workspace! Jeez, I'm losing my motivation. What's with that condescending look?! Er... You've got requests from the citizens to take care of monsters, right? How about you teach her about being a goddess out on a mission? Yeah, then she won't have to touch any documents! True enough. This is a good one. And it's right near Planeptune. Does that mean you want me to go straight home from there? Of course. You're interrupting my work. Okay, everyone, time to go beat up some monsters! Right! Wait, why are you acting like the leader?! We're clearing monsters from two places. The Nasuune Highlands and the nearby Toruune Cave. Neither of them are particularly high-level-- Sis... What? No one's listening. I'm tired! Compa, are you okay? Wow, this is the famous "sign you can't read from behind"! Sis, most signs are like that. Hey! You're slowing down! Jeez, Noire, you're always so serious! Is that a problem? Doesn't it tire you out to be this way 24/7? Being tired doesn't faze me. I want to make this country as great as I can. Well, sure, I wanna make a great country too, but I'd rather things be fun! You have too much fun! She's here! It's the goddess! It's Lady Black Heart! Oh, dear! Access! Whoa, you're gonna transform right now?! The second rule of the goddess is to project a majestic air. Ladies, could I ask you to tell me about the monsters? Doesn't seem very majestic to transform right in front of people. This is the Nasuune Highlands, correct? Yes. We've been overrun by Dogoos, and we don't know what to do. Understood. Miss Neptune and Miss Nepgear from our neighbor country have volunteered to deal with them. Nep?! You're suddenly giving them to us?! We're going to do it? Rule three: impress people by making a good showing. I'll record it for you so you can use it for PR! Sheesh, what a pain! Well, at least Dogoos are so weak I could beat 'em with a Cypress Stick. Let's do this thing! Nepgear! Yes, Sis! We weren't born in this world just to dance to destiny's tune I want to wrap my arms around this precious heart and protect it Way to go, Nepgear! That's my little sis! Radiant land striving for progress Yeah! Noble ideals we envision, wishes we direct toward the dawn Chest buster! I'll use my true power! I hear a faraway voice calling my name I mingled our memories together and branded them on my heart Oof! You there! How do you like this?! There are too many of them. We are all shooting stars on an endless journey to find answers We should help them, Iffy! All right. Transient but passionate, we burn our lives away Iffy! Compa! Here I come! Your eyes hold an unshakeable sentiment They brought light into the darkness Talk about a big help! Now victory's guaran-- Let's reach for the future now Even if I get hurt, I'm not scared of anything Because you're right there, and always kind Noire, should we help-- No. Doing this by themselves carries meaning. Okay... Hey, don't touch me there! We are all shooting stars on an endless journey to find answers This feels gross! No, don't go in there! Transient but passionate, we burn our lives away That tickles! I'm gonna die laughing! Someone help! Your eyes hold an unshakeable sentiment They brought light into the darkness It's all too much... Let's reach for the future now Even if I get hurt, I'm not scared of anything Because you're right there, and always kind I'll send your soul to a world of despair! Flame Soul Slice! Iffy, help me out too! Ora ora ora ora! Put more effort into this, Neptune. I'll crush you! Ugh, I don't wanna look at any jellies or meat buns for a while! Why didn't you transform? In your CPU form, Dogoos would be easy! Well, hey, it turned out okay! Because other people made it okay for you! This is why your Shares-- Get all the rest you want. I'll finish this by myself. Take me to Toruune Cave! Y-Yes, my lady! I-I'll come with you. I'll be fine. You look after Nepgear and the others. Okay... This way. Thank you. Noire's got such a short temper. Oh, Uni, did you get pics? Cute! I'm gonna forward these to myself! Die! A dead end, eh? That's a wrap, then. An Ancient Dragon? You look pretty strong! You're mine! Hi-yah! Yahoo! Y-You? Hey, why're you back in human form? I don't know; it just suddenly happened... Neptune! Noire, this is an example of when to transform! Behold! Witness the power of a CPU! Don't try to show off! Thanks. Leave this one to me. Cross Combination! I-I could've done that without your help. Probably so. But comrades help each other. I don't actually think of us as com-- Why did you choose this area for our quest today? Because I wanted you to go home... It's on the Planeptune border, and word of my heroics will spread there. That will let me recover lost Shares. Thank you, Noire. But we'd better tell people about a certain CPU almost getting eaten, too! What?! Keep that part quiet! Listen up, guys! Hey! Noire goofed up! Neptune! You said we were comrades! Stop it! Lady Black Heart and Lady Purple Heart-- defeated the monsters for us with a hyper magical combination! Hooray! Hooray! Have we already become a tall tale? Why did my transformation break...? So, they cleaned the monsters out of the cave for us. Now we can search for that thing in peace, chu. Chu chu chu. Amazing! I have to hand it to Noire! Nep?! Don't you mean you have to hand it to me?! I still have my doubts as to whether the credit should go to you. Infinite stars scattered all over the world... You're so mean, and so casual about it! Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! Nepgear, what's wrong? Sis, weird pictures of me are on the internet! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Nice, these are the pics I emailed myself! You're such a cutie in these, Nepgear! Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! I'm embarrassed! Nep, are you sure you didn't send them to the wrong person? Love scheme, thermal runaway Nah, of course not! Uh-oh, I forwarded to the all-citizen mailing list! Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear I knew it. The comments are all pretty positive, though! Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! "Visual shock"... Pulse wave, echoing love song "Welcome to the next level"... "Hail to Planeptune, baby"... You've got fans! Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost! Could the reason our Shares shot up be... Even if we're a madhouse, there are bonds here between us ...these pics?! That's amazing, Nepgear! R-Really? Good job my sweetheart Which means if we show these to even more of the public... Nepgear, this is for our Shares, okay? See you next week... Wait, what? Neptune! I'm worried about this country's future on more than one level. I can leak 'em myself! I've so got this! Stop! We should live by regulations that-- Wh-What do you figure this is? The Terrorist (Lickorrist) of Lowee This art really is an explosion! Huh? A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Hyperdimension Neptunia Ga-thunk! Time for another day of saving the world's children! The Terrorist (Lickorrist) of Lowee Wow, this town is so pretty! I've always wanted to come to Lowee. Yup, I had a feeling you did! Tee-hee-hee! Rom and Ram asked me to come visit them. They say Blanc won't let them visit other countries. Oh, yeah, Blanc can be pretty square. She should fix that before she ends up friendless like Noire! I'm right here, you know. And who are you calling friendless?! Oh, sorry! But hey, hearing that said to your face could be just what you need to change! I don't want to hear that from a slacker goddess like you! Maybe I shouldn't have let you talk me into this... She fell for it! Success. Miss Rom! Miss Ram! How could you do that?! Run! Hold it! You're quite sure? You do realize carrying out this plan will revolutionize the world. Hold it right there! I'm well aware. No! We need to make sure no one finds out Scary! about this until it happens. Miss Rom! Miss Ram! Run! You little shits... How many times have I told you to keep it down while I'm workin'?! I-I'm so sorry! Blanc... Check this out! This is... It's you! I drew it with Ram! My precious book... You bitches! That's the same face as in the picture! Uh-oh! Get your asses back here! Run! Nepgear! Uni! You came? Mm-hmm! We're here to visit! Hiya, Blanc! Guess who's here! So! We heard a new theme park opened up in Lowee, so we all came to hang out! The message I got from Histoire says to teach you to be a good CPU. Nah, you can forget about that. Not like I learned much last time! Well, excuse me. I've heard about the theme park, too. Perhaps it would be fun to go as a group. Super Nittenland?! I wanna go! Please take us! So excited! Could you do me a favor and take my sisters there? Huh? What about you? You're not going, Sis? I... can't go. What, cuz of work? Just skip it. Once upon a time a great man said, "I figure working'd mean I lost at life"! Neptune, that guy wasn't a great man. Anyway, I can't go. Ram, wait! Girls, wear your coats! Nepgear, you forgot the tickets! Nepgear! Uni! Where are you? Here! Over here! Oh, a coin with a Dogoo on it! Mine has a Kupokitty! Oh, it's Terits. Mine is Tesrit. Lame! Those, please! Shouldn't Blanc be playing escort when CPUs from other countries are here? Honestly, I don't know what she's thinking. True, she does need to grow up a little. Like me. Come to think of it, Vert, what brings you to Low-- Nep! This turtle is after my peaches! No! Someone help! Nep! Rom, it's a Guardragon coin! That's a rare item! That's a Guardragon, too. Oh, and that one... They're all Guardragons! But maybe we've got enough. I'll bring one home for Blanc, too. What? She didn't even come with us! I know, but... Okay. Let's take a bunch, with some for Sis too. Yeah! Yay! Lickie. Huh? What's wrong, Nepgear? I wonder where Rom and Ram went... They headed that way a minute ago. Rom! Ram! Rom! Ram! What are you doing to them?! Lickie! I'm only interested in little girls! That went well, didn't it, sir? The fun is just getting started! Rom... Ram...! I understand, but Lady Blanc has instructed me not to let anyone in. Aw, but we're goddesses, too, so what's the big deal? Goddesses or not, I'm afraid... Please, at least let us apologize! It was our fault Rom and Ram got kidnapped! Listen, we've already mobilized all the guards to search for them... We know, but-- Go home. All you do is cause trouble. Rom... Ram... It's my fault... If I were only... a better... sister... I have to do something. I know, I'll use-- Ga-thunk, ga-thunk, ga-thunk! Found you! Who are you? I am Abnes. I fight for children! Huh? Sheesh, I'm the star reporter of the hit internet show "Abnes Channel"! Don't you recognize me?! Okay, time to start the live broadcast! Live? Hi there, Gamindustri! It's Abnes, idol of all the world's children! I'm here today with Lowee's little-girl CPU, Blanc! Listen, you bi-- Now, Blanc, are the rumors true? Have your little sisters been kidnapped? How did you know that? So it is true! Abnes is so worried. So, how does it feel to have your beloved little sisters kidnapped? Honestly, that Blanc! An emergency like this is no time to be pig-headed! Yeah, Noire's the one with the patent on acting tough! Excuse me?! Girls, the truth is-- Neptune, what do you think that's about? In other words, your sisters' kidnapping is your fault, isn't it, Blanc? I-I... See this, kids? The little-girl CPU hasn't got a single excuse! Being a goddess is just too much responsibility for little girls! Little girls should play games and take life easy! The Abnes Channel is firmly against little-girl goddesses! Hey, whaddya think you're doing?! Who do you think you are? I'm Neptune! The goddess of Planeptune! You're a goddess, too? Well, you technically look old enough to be hitting puberty... But your body's underdeveloped! You're a little girl! I declare you a little girl! What?! I just got little-girled by a girl littler than me! I'm most certainly not a little girl! And it takes one to know one! Which'd definitely make you the little girl, since you called me one first! Oh, you said it again! Wait right there! I'll let you off with a warning today, little-girl goddess! Oh yeah, little girl?! Bring it on, little girl! Poor widdle girlie! For heaven's sake. What was that about? I wonder how she snuck in here... Blanc! Hang in there, Blanc! I-I'll go get help! What happened to her? Maybe the people of Lowee just watched that interview, and her Shares plummeted? Oh! And when a CPU doesn't have enough Shares, she loses her power, right? I don't think Shares made her faint. She wouldn't feel the effects that fast. Then... Ladies. There is a way. We'll track down Rom and Ram. The truth is, Blanc and I have been working on a project. I assume you know that there used to be a satellite service in Lowee? Hmm, I think it was called the "Basillaview"? The thing that ended around ten years ago, right? Yes. As it turns out, the satellites are still active, and they can relay images of the world's terrain. However, they're low-resolution. Leanbox labs have developed software to analyze the data and produce high-res images. That's our Vert! Your people are so tech-savvy! So I approached Blanc with an offer: If Lowee will provide their image data, Leanbox will provide our software. What? But that gives the two of you a monopoly on all the world's information! Whoa, we'll be in trouble if people see too much of what we’re doing! No, we planned for everyone to share the data. It was Blanc's suggestion. She said that since we've signed a friendship treaty, our four countries should use it equally. Really? So we were waiting for the right time to go public. Like a surprise present--a nice touch, right? The analysis is complete. Now we know where the kidnapper fled--hmm? This is... Liiiickie lickie lickie! No! Rom...? Sleepyhead girls FTW! Think it's okay if I lick 'em all over? Lickie lickie lickie! Hey! How dare you do that to Rom? Stop it! Lickie lickie lickie! No! Stop! CFW Trick, sir! I phoned in demanding our ransom! Whoa, what are you doing? Healing them, obviously. My saliva has healing effects! I-I see... Who'd have guessed they were hiding in an under-construction attraction? Okay, time to break in and kick butt! One moment. Nep? Priority number one in this sort of situation is securing the hostages. No, stop it! I said stop it! Please, no more! That's quite enough of that! Sis? Another little girl? Vert! Release those girls. I shall take their place! Say what? I'm a gentleman, and I only deal with little girls, and I don't care about big breasts or whatever. What's wrong with large breasts? They're just doomed to sag. I do believe you've made me angry. You're a CPU?! Green Heart, transformation complete. Oh, crap! Ransom money: no longer my biggest problem. Your wimpy attacks won't work on me! I wouldn't be too sure. Taste this spear of the maelstrom! Rainy Ratnapura! Well, that was easy. Wait, where are Rom and Ram? Gah, another CPU! Sis, she's with them! Okay. You there, you were an idiot to think you could lick us. Look, Trick was the only one doing any licking. And anyway, we only kidnapped them 'cause a weird old hag put us up to it! Now that sounds like the whine of an underling. Th-That's right! See, I'm just an underling. So, I'll just be going... Like hell am I letting you off the hook! Lace Ribbon Dance! Yeah, I figured! I'll protect the little girls even if it costs me my life! That's a gentleman's justice! Hmm? Where did the little girls go? How lively they are! Little girls really are the best! Lickie lickie! Owie! How dare you mess with my precious little sisters? You'll pay for that... ...you damn perv. I take that as a compliment and thank you kindly! Is that so. In that case... I'll just kill you with kindness. Say your prayers, you frickin' sicko! Ultra-deviant! Cataclysmic freak! Tanzerin Trombe! Long live little girls! You picked a fight with a goddess, so no bitching later. Rom, Ram, I'm sorry I let this happen to you. I'm a failure as a big sister. Sis... Presents. Guardragons! Come on out, kidnappers! I’ll nep your face! Neptune... ...maybe the others already took care of them... Emergency Exit What?! Low on sleep?! Yes. That's why I fainted. And why I didn't go to the park with you, too. Sheesh, you're ridiculous. I've been pulling a lot of all-nighters, and I didn't have the energy to deal with you. But you still rescued Rom and Ram... Thank you, Vert and Noire. And Neptune, thank you for defending me in that interview. Aw, no biggie! That bratty little girl deserved to get chased off! Blanc, look. That's a nice drawing. Ram! Stop doodling! You have so many copies of the same book! What's the problem? Stop! Why? B-Because... ...that's the story I pulled those all-nighters writing! Does that mean it's a doujinshi you wrote, Blanc? Huh?! Uni, what's it about? A girl who fell from the sky and a boy born with superpowers save the world. Oh, look, you get to read about the Great Mary Sue of Destiny. Don't read it! Oh, wow! The main character just awakened to a new power! So cool! Don't read it! Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! Love scheme, thermal runaway Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! Pulse wave, echoing love song Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost!

You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Hyperdimension Neptunia A Weekend (Girls' Night) in Leanbox It was nice of Vert to invite us to a concert and all, but I can't believe she didn't come! What's that about? I'm sure she had a good reason. So, where is Vert's room, anyway? Oh, this one's unlocked! What happened here? It looks like someone sacked the place. More like she's just never cleaned up... Whoa, it's a game you can't buy 'till you're 18! Whoa, cut it out! There are little kids here! What's the rear guard doing?! I'll cover you myself. You go on without me. Oh, phooey! Too fast! They're too fast! Ah, there she is! What are you doing, Vert? Hey! Not there...! She's definitely playing an MMO. "Four Goddesses Online"? Helloooo! You there, the MMO junkie! Oh! Welcome to Leanbox, ladies. I'm afraid I'm a bit tied up right now... Yeah, right. Why did you stand us up to play some game?! I logged in intending to play for just an hour before I left, but then a castle siege started... And then I just couldn't leave! I seem to recall you saying you'd throw a party for us after the concert. It won't be long before we take the castle! So after that... I see what you're really like. It takes all kinds to make a world. Goddess fail! You might be worse than me! Not true. Nep?! These are the only times you're on the same page! What should we do? It looks like this'll take a while. True... Okay, everyone help set up for the party! Aw, why should we have to set up? No complaining! We came all the way to Leanbox, so we are not leaving without a proper party. Nepgear, IF, and Compa, you three go buy food! Y-Yes, Ma'am! The rest of us will clean this room! Come on, chop chop! H-Here we go again! She's in full-on bossypants mode! It's like a weird overdrive. Be quiet! Get to work! Leanbox Life I guess Ge-Ge and Iffy aren't done yet. Ugh, if I don't hurry, the hag's gonna get on my case, chu. Th-That hurt, chu... Wh-What, chu? Something funny about seein' a mouse trip, chu?! I'm just glad you're all right! Oh, but you've got a scrape. Here... I'll put this on it for you! (On it for you! On it for you! On it for you!) There, all better! Now you take care of yourself, Mister Mouse. I-I will, chu... Well, I'll be going now. W-Wait, chu! What is it? (What is it? What is it?) U-Um... what's your name, chu...? It's Compa! (It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa!) C-Compa... What a lovely name, chu. Ge-Ge? Don't-chu touch that! Ge-Ge, what's wrong? I'm not sure. I just went limp all of a sudden... Anemia? I've never heard of an anemic goddess before, though... That was close, chu. I can't believe I ran into a CPU's sister. Well, setting that aside... Compa's an angel. A total angel! Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone. Welcome to my house party! Vert, you basically contributed nothing. Just let it go. Your words are falling on deaf ears. I heard you got dizzy earlier? Yeah, but I'm fine now. Come, everyone--let's eat, drink, and make merry! I've even prepared a great game for today! Oo, what is it?! I think show is easier than tell in this case. Neptune and Noire, would you please back up a bit? You got it! What? Why? All right, now fight magnificently for us. Cool! Oh, look at Nep-Nep! Nep?! I'm a Dogoo! I-Is this me?! I'm using a special camera to capture your motions and holoproject them. Pretty sweet technology, isn't it? So I just fight Noire in this form now, right? Okay No-goo, I'll nep you black and blue! Excuse me, "No-goo"? Yay, first points to me! Now you've made me angry! Say your prayers, Nep-goo! Haha, upside-down No-goo! Incidentally, I've also prepared a simulation mode geared more toward real battle, so you can also use this for combat training. Wow! It sounds fun! I wanna play too! Sure! Play as much as you want! You're late! You want to tank our whole plan?! I came as fast as I could, chu. It's your fault for making your deadlines too tight, you old hag! How many times do I have to tell you not to call your master that?! W-Well, fine. I don't have time to waste getting angry at some dumb rat. Hand over the goods! Jeez, I know, chu. Now we've got four. Tonight, the rules for the game of life get rewritten. What is it? We're in the middle of a party. Lady Vert, I'm afraid that... Nep? Over already? Fever's Fruits 2 Did something happen, Vert? Well... Someone's reported a mass monster outbreak at a waste disposal facility in Zoone District. Zoone District... A little island a good way off. Apparently it's only connected to the mainland at low tide. Eh, monsters pop up everywhere all the time! Never in this district. It's under state supervision. However... it seems to have really happened. I'm going out there. I'll come too! But this is my country's problem. Fate must've brought us here, you know? Let us help! Is this your "We signed a treaty, so we're comrades" thing again? Pretty much! I'll help too. It's a good chance to repay you for your help with the kidnapping. Okay, then! It's a party of three! I-I'm coming too! I mean, who knows how long you three will keep us waiting! Ladies... All right, then. Let's go as a party of four. Um! I'll come too! S-So will I! Me too! Me too. You can't come. This isn't a game. Aw! Uni, you'll stay behind too, obviously. You can't even transform yet. Nepgear! Leave this one to the big sisters! We gotta show off sometimes! Okay. And with that... Transform! All right, everyone, here we go. I gotta say I'm impressed you collected so many small-fry monsters, chu. How else could I lure all four CPUs out here? Now come quick. Nepgear, are you okay? Hmm? Yeah, I'm okay, but I'm kind of worried about Sis. Is your sister weak, Nepgear? No, that's not it. When she gets serious, she's really strong! I mean, she always protects me, since I'm so weak. But... Today, I feel uneasy for some reason. Uneasy...? I see. Okay. Thanks, Otome. I was right, guys. Did you find out something? I had a feeling I'd seen that mouse from the mall somewhere before. So I asked a fellow Guild member working intelligence to check it out. Sure enough, he's on every country's blacklist. He's considered a suspicious person--or rather, a suspicious mouse. What?! So Mister Mouse is a bad guy? I'm sad. There's more: we found out he took a boat out to Zoone District a few hours ago. In other words...? In other words, I haven't got proof, but I'm thinking those monsters popping up wasn't a coincidence. There's still time to make the low tide. I'm going to go check things out. Take me... Please take me, too! What? No! I can't expose you to danger, too. I can't stop worrying! Please, IF! There, you can see it now. Damn, there's a ton of them. There may be a lot, but they all look low-level to me. Still, we mustn't let them make it into town. We need to kill them here, before-- So these big ones are the main attractions? They're worthy enemies, at least. Perfect, there's one for each of us! Time to race! You're not stealin' a march on me! Wait, you three! The textbook method here is to stick together and take them one at a time! Spineless textbook. Honestly... They all get weirdly cocky when they transform. Though I'm the same way, of course! Listen to me, Nepgear: don't take any risks. If you feel even a little threatened, you retreat right away, got it? Yes. Thank you, IF. Lace Ribbon Dance! That makes me first. Tanzerin Trombe! Crap, I'm second? Looks like they're not done yet. Rainy Ratnapura! Cross Combination! I suppose those two tied. Which means they're both last. I was just a tiny bit faster. Okay, okay, last place is fine with-- Noire! Blanc! Wh-What is this?! Don't screw with me! Ugh, squick! These won't stop me! Looks like it's about time. She must be pulling the strings! Now, CPUs... fall to my Sanctuary! Th-This light... Wh-Why is my power dropping?! It's that stone. If we destroy it...! Nothing powered by Share energy can get near that stone. Be it a weapon, or a CPU herself. What's going on here? The stone is called an Anticrystal. It severs your link with the Sharicite, stripping you of your power! "Anticrystal"...? These are some great pics, chu! They'll create a worldwide sensation, chu! You little shits... I won't let you get away with this! I'll knock you flat in no time! Don't be too sure. A goddess's power bleeds away inside the Anticrystal field. Which means your chances are plummeting by the second! It's quiet. Maybe they've already wiped out the monsters? They're still here! Where are Nep and the others? IF, look! Neptune... I wish, here in this place where we met Go fight, until your life blazes out I don't forget, I go on an endless journey My promise to you, all my vows are one "For every new sorrow, a new bond forms" A goddess taught me that! ☆ Everybody now, sky of memories Happiness?

Hmph! This all started when I found the first one in that forest in Planeptune! And don't forget I did the big job, stealing the stone from Lowee's Basilicom! Lowee's Basilicom? Blanc, the Anticrystal, did you--? Yeah, I knew. I kept it secure under tight surveillance, but it went missing sometime during the whole kidnapping mess. If you'd told us... What do you want from me?! I had no idea there were more! Cave? Don't tell me... Noire, what is it?! Nep? My transformation-- Didn't I tell you? As long as you're in the Anticrystal field, your power will bleed away. I can't believe this... Neptune... Neptune! Nepgear? Nepgear, get on! Neptune is...! Nepgear! Right now we need to run! They'll get away, you know. Fine with me! Who cares about a little sister who can't even transform yet?

Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Hyperdimension Neptunia The Resolve (Turn) of the Younger Sisters What in the world is going on, IF? I'm not sure exactly, but she mentioned something about Anticrystals. I think they're stealing the CPUs' powers. "Anticrystals"? Could you research them for us, Miss Histoire? Of course. But I warn you, it will take three days. It'd really help if you could speed that up a bit. I'll try. Now, Nepgear, you come back to Planeptune with IF and Compa. Uni, I think you and Rom and Ram should all go home, too. Goodbye. Well, you heard her-- Wait! You know I can't agree to go home just like that! Explain this better! Usually my big sis can take down bad guys with one punch! Is she going to die? I-I'm sure she'll be okay! It's not that easy to beat a goddess-- But! You just said their powers were stolen! I'm sorry. It's not your fault, Ge-Ge... It is. The stone I picked up when we were shopping... That must've been an Anticrystal. Playing what-if won't do us any good, so let's not. Back then... If I'd really thought about why I got dizzy then... If I'd told our sisters... Stupid Nepgear! Noire is--my sister is super strong! But because of you... I wish you'd been captured instead of her! Aw, jeez, I'm so bored! I wanna play video games! I can't believe you, Neptune. You do realize we've been captured? But if only I had the Four Goddesses Online chat room, at least... I had an appointment with my guild! You too, Vert? Wow, MMO junkies are actually good to have around at times like this! Okay, I'm gonna try making our demands! Hey, you! Come on, I know you're there, Boudoir! Who are you calling "Boudoir"?! Um... Was it "Art the Friar"? You only got the "Ar" part right! "Artful Fodger," then! Give us something to kill time with! I'm gonna die of boredom! You're already headed for the grave anyway. Huh? She didn't shoot me down. Does that mean I can call her Artful Fodger? Don't ask me. Hey! Are you listening to me?! I went to the trouble of giving you your death sentence! Hmm? What? Just look down. Nep? What is this?! It's quite creepy. Another effect of the Anticrystal...? In time it will torment you to death. Enjoy the short hours you have left! Nepgear. C'mon, hurry! I-I know! Uni! Let's all be friends again. I... shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry. It's fine. I know-- I know it's not your fault, Nepgear. I know, but...! It's okay. I know how you feel. I thought that no one was stronger than Noire. That as long as she was around, things would be fine no matter what. I'm the same, you know. I can't do anything without Neptune. I've got no idea what to do now, either... Aw, that's easy! We just gotta save them ourselves! I want to save our sisters, too. But we can't transform... Then we just need to learn to! I'll learn how. Do you really think we can? Noire told me... ...that the reason I can't transform is that I've put a limiter on my heart. A limiter on your heart...? It means I'm scared, or something. I'm scared of monsters. Yeah, me too. Then we'll all just train together until we're not scared of them! You might be right! Uni! Rom, Ram! Your attendants have come to pick you-- Owie... That really hurts! Compa, are you okay? I'm okay! This is training! What? This is Lady Vert's game, right? We thought we'd do combat training. She said there was a battle mode, remember? I told them I'd play the enemy! If that helps Ge-Ge and the others transform, I'll be happy too! Transform? We've decided we'll go save our sisters together! So we want to get stronger! Whoa, hold on, Nepgear. Even Nep and the others got caught! Yes, but I think we still have to do this. Because we've inherited the goddesses' powers, too! I had a feeling this would happen. But Compa doesn't get to be the enemy. I'll do it. Iffy... It's fine. All right, let's get started. Ga-thunk, ga-thunk, ga-thunk! Found you! Huh? Haven't you managed to upload the pics yet, Rat?! I didn't think I'd be on an analog line, chu. And this modem I found in the trash heap is only 56k. I'm dying here, chu. You knew full well this place didn't have cell phone reception! You're the big cheese; any onsite mistakes are your responsibility. Just hurry it up! Tell that to the modem, chu! Hmm, it looks like only the little sisters are home, and all four goddesses are gone. Something definitely happened! Er, I believe your name is Abnes...? Look, we're busy here, so don't interrupt! Who is she? The little-girl-lover who pissed off Nep in Lowee. Remember? Um, Miss Abnes? We don't really have time to-- Shut up! A half-developed unlittle girl is a girl I don't care about! With the CPUs gone, this is my chance to turn Rom and Ram back into normal little girls! Nice idea, if I do say so myself! Yes, it's like splendor in the grass! Now, you cute little girls, let's join hands and play! Hey, instead of holding hands, I'd really like to play that game. That? Please? Well, okay. S-Say, little girls, are you sure this is what you want to play? How about a more, you know, girlish game? Everyone attack! Wait a second! Wait, girls! Iffy, this says you can battle against I won't go easy on you! a computerized character instead! That figures. I'm sorry! These things usually have that mode. Should we tell them? I'm sorry! Well... maybe later? It looks like they're having fun. No! Never give up! Little girls! My coup de grace! Wow! You defeated an Ancient Dragon together! Ow! That hurts, you quack nurse! I'm sorry! We beat a lot of them, but we still haven't managed to transform. Yeah... But if we defeat lots more-- Apparently we don't have time for that. The whole world is about to know that the four goddesses have been captured. They've been captured?! That's a little girl chance! Just rest quietly, please! When the citizens see images like this of their CPUs, countries' Shares could take a nosedive. In which case... Our Sharicites will give us less power. Then we have to save them fast, before the effect kicks in! Yeah. The pool's gotten pretty big. I wonder what will happen if it overtakes us... I should've researched countermeasures against the stone. All I did was keep it away from me... Come on, everybody, cheer up! We're okay for now, and there's still hope left! Normally I don't mind your positivity, but at times like this it's seriously annoying! You're in denial. But hey, it's better than deciding there's no hope! Impossible over-optimism isn't useful either! Oh, it's not impossible. Nep? Your sisters are still out there, aren't they? Uni? She's never even fought without me before! And Rom and Ram are at an age where I need to protect them. And Nep Jr. seems like she's got it together, but really she's a clingy kid. I'm not sure she can hack it... Are you sure that's not your egos talking? Yes, they're sweet girls. Even I'd like them to stay like this forever. But maybe that attitude is what keeps them in the role of your "dear little sisters" who can't transform. Don't you agree? They're here, chu. The sisters came back with some friends, just like I figured, chu. Hmph! What can they do? They won't even manage to make it here. Don't you agree? Ge-Ge and the others still can't transform... Even if the CPUs screwed up, seeing their sisters fight to fix it should settle the citizens. It should mitigate the damage to the Shares. True, but... Plus, I want to believe too. I want to believe these girls can do it. Iffy... Everyone ready? Get ready! I'll protect you, Ram. Yeah! I'll take down a whole herd of monsters! Hit! This will hurt! Move it! Nepgear! Ram! Rom! Rom, Ram, regroup! Uni... Behind you! I won't lose! Stay away! Stay away! What should I do? I was wrong... Rom! We weren't ready to fight yet! Iffy, at this rate everyone will-- We're all going down because of me! I know! I can't do anything... Help me, Neptune! I'm falling back on Neptune again. But without her, I just can't...! Noire told me... ...that the reason I can't transform is that I've put a limiter on my heart. A limiter? It means I'm scared, or something. What am I afraid of? Is it of losing my big sister? Or of not being able to stay her little sister? No, that's not it. It's of getting stronger than she is! Iffy, look at Ge-Ge! I wanted to keep idolizing Neptune forever. But if it means getting her back... I'll grow stronger than anyone! I wish, here in this place where we met Nepgear! Go fight, until your life blazes out Nepgear. Awesome! I don't forget, I go on an endless journey I mustn't retreat. I mustn't retreat. My promise to you, all my vows are one I... have to keep going! "For every new sorrow, a new bond forms" A goddess taught me that! ☆ Everybody now, sky of memories Happiness? Lucky? Your smile? I want to meet a smile that rivals anyone's Everybody know, I won't give up Happiness? Lucky? Your smile? Let's seize the future... Love & Peace Everybody now, spread your wings Happiness? Lucky? Your smile? Let's take flight, we can become free Everybody know, the dream I'm after is Happiness? Lucky? Your smile? Let's seize the future... Love & Peace Apparently we don't have time for that. No, that's a mistake! Rewind! You didn't see that, okay?! It's just, Compa sort of happened to say I could stay over, The Resonance (Limit Break) of the Goddesses and I wouldn't have taken this except I woke up at midnight and-- Mirage Dance! Take that! You're telling me they defeated all the small-fry monsters? They're surprisingly tough, chu. Well, no matter. I was feeling bored anyway. See, I realized something. I was okay with staying weak, because I wanted to be sheltered by my sister forever. But that's no good--if only I'd wished then to get stronger... ...you could've transformed? That doesn't help me. I've never thought it was okay to be weak! Y-Yes, you're right... All right, we're about there. A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Hyperdimension Neptunia Sis! Nepgear! Sis! Sis! Sis! Rom, Ram... Uni... Nepgear, you learned to transform! Yes! I'll help you right now! I wouldn't be too sure. The Resonance (Limit Break) of the Goddesses Welcome, little sisters. My name is Arfoire. I'm the one who'll bring the gospel of chaos to this world run by four-- Compa! I missed you, chu! Huh? Er, right! Hey! Don't interrupt me! Why would you do this? What are you after?! Fine, I'll tell you. I seek a new world order where CPUs are unnecessary. A world where anyone can become ruler! But... Doesn't that just mean you're trying to become the ruler?! If someone stronger than me comes along, they'll take over. That's a fair world! Can you deny it? Enough with the propaganda. You're basically just jealous of the goddesses' power, aren't you! Perhaps I was, once. Not now, though. Because now... I have that power myself! She transformed?! But she's not a goddess...! Cross Combination! No way! My surefire move?! Why can you use that move?! I have the ability to copy others. And now I've finally gained even the skills of the goddesses! But that's impossible! And yet it's true! Tanzerin Trombe! Stop it! Don't be mean to Nepgear! Stick a pacifier in it, you toddlers! I hate that lady. Yeah. I hate her a lot! We'll get her... The two of us together! Rom... Ram... I'll never forgive you. Prepare for a beating. Two little brats transforming is hardly a threat! Ice Coffin! We did it! Lace Ribbon Dance! Rom! Ram! Now I counterattack. I can't believe I'm the only one who can't transform. And my sister is watching... Why do I keep focusing on Noire? For right now-- Hit home! Hit home! Uni. Okay! That's right, Uni... Think only about the targets. I see them. EX Multi Blaster! I'll never hesitate! I have only determination! Uni, you look so cool! Huh? I transformed... You did it, Uni! Wow! W-Well, of course I did! The star always appears last, you know! Yeah, that's true. Uni...! You're all brilliant. What is this? Wh-What is it?! Heh, right according to plan, chu. Compa, I have a favor to ask. Could you strike up a conversation with that mouse? What should I say? Hmm, let's see... Okay then, time for me to cheese it. U-Um... Mister Mouse? Er, want to rest and talk with me? Over there? What? Breast?! Breast talk, chu?! Yep! C-C-Compa, baby! It's cold... I can't even feel my skin anymore. What?! Yes... I'm starting to go numb. We have to do something before they cover our whole bodies. Nep! Iffy! I have a message from Histoire! Okay. Everyone, I've discovered something very unfortunate. Evidently, disrupting your links with your Sharicites isn't an Anticrystal's only effect. It also converts the displaced Share energy into something called "anti-energy." They say this highly dense energy can take a goddess's life. So what do we do?! I don't know how to treat it yet. If I had three days-- Vert! N-Neptune... Don't! Noire! Blanc?! I'll fight too! Compa, I hate to tell you this, but that won't work, chu. What is that? I-I don't know... That's how anti-energy kills goddesses. Rainy Ratnapura! No... Nep... tune... Noire... N-Neptune? No! What is this place? Did I die? Nope, not dead... But why...? The Share energy shouldn't reach me anymore... Warm. Oh, yeah. I get it. We... Your big sisters are gone now! Everything you did was too late. But hey, cheer up. I'll send you after them right now! Down to the murky depths of despair! My sister is... Our sisters are...! Noire? What? Our sisters are still fighting. And we won't-- --lose-- --either! We'll defeat you. We'll put body and soul on the line... We'll put everything on the line! Is this... Share energy resonance? There's so much... It's all sparkly! My anti-energy, my miracle-- It's being snuffed out! You won't get away! Disappear! Neptune... Where are you? Hey... Neptune! I'm right here, Nepgear. Sis! I missed you! I'm so glad! Don't cry like kids about it. Sorry for worrying you. I'm sorry I was late, Noire... Why are you apologizing? You've really come a long way. Thanks. Sis! Sis... U-Um, I... I...! Mm-hmm. You worked hard, Nepgear. From now on I'll always be with you, okay? Sis! Vert. Welcome back. Thank you. For crying out loud... This is a one-time only thing, you got that, Vert? I dug an escape tunnel just in case this happened, chu. Be grateful I'm such a smart mouse! Why are you helping me? You've got no obligation to. Even we bad guys feel friendship, chu. But I gotta say, Grandma, you're heavy. You got too much cheese on your bones! I'm stunning naked, I'll have you know. That's TMI, chu! Wow! The Sharicite is shining like crazy! Yes! It looks like it's pretty much like before. I was worried too, but as it turns out, we didn't lose many Shares. Really? It's totally the power of my charm! I think it's more likely that nobody expected much of you to begin with. Well, whatever, let's be happy there's no Share crash! However! The slow downward trend is still happening. Aw, but we don't have to sweat that now, do we? Yes, we do! You need to do some work, starting today. What?! Aw, man! I'd rather still be in a tentacle trap! So... What happened to the other countries' Shares? It looks like they did sink a little bit. But I hear Lady Vert got a lot of popular support when she announced a public release of that bodily-sensation interface... Blanc Manju And as for Lowee, they say the "Blanc Manju" Lady Blanc put out is a mega-hit... And Lady Noire and Uni apparently defeated so many monsters together that they easily earned back more Shares than they'd lost. So basically, things are more or less back to normal. Yummy! Nep's just like always, too. Hmm? I thought you'd be a little more fired up after what happened to you, but suddenly we're picnicking? Nah, you got it all backwards! Because of what happened, we gotta make each day be every day! I don't even know what that means. Wh-Who is this girl? B-Beats me... Compa! IF! Huh? Who are you? Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! Love scheme, thermal runaway Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! Pulse wave, echoing love song Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost! Even if we're a madhouse, there are bonds here between us Good job my sweetheart See you next week... I'll never hesitate! I have only determination! Uni! Your chest! Now you're the same size as us, Uni! We're "flat friends"! I'm not really happy to be in that category. The Secret (Your-Eyes-Only) of Lastation I can finally start! A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Hyperdimension Neptunia The Secret (Your-Eyes-Only) of Lastation Uh-oh! That was close! I almost didn't make it! I'm bored! Play with me, Neptuna! Look, P-ko, we've been over this. I'm not "Neptuna," I'm Nep-tooon. Neptuna, Neptuna! Final Fishing Hey! You can't just up and unplug it like that! Huh? Neptuna, play with me! Nep-Nep gets along great with her, huh? More like she's completely at the kid's mercy... Miss Histoire, haven't we found her guardian yet? No, and it's been three weeks... Are you sure you have no ideas? None. I wonder how she knew Compa and me... Perhaps we're lucky to even know her name. Yep, thank goodness her underwear was labeled "Peashy"! Got you! Pea Punch! Well, Nepgear? They're soft, aren't they? Yes, Vert! It's all right; you can call me "Sis." But my sister is-- Oh, maybe it'd be okay for you to be my sister! Of course it would. So... Right, I see what's happening here. Your Lily Rank will go through the roof! Hold it, Vert! What are you doin' to my little sister?! Sis! What's the harm in deepening our friendship every now and then? You've been doing it every day lately! Nep Jr. there is my little sister, got it?! You're practically my sister-in-law, hmm? Let's keep on slowly but surely nurturing our relationship, okay Nepgear? The truth is I came to get you. You're hitting on me, too?! You want to fill the sister sandwich?! Nep! Wrong. Blanc has already contacted you, hasn't she? Has she? This is Crachy the rabbit-eared bandicoot. What do you think? He's my new pet. Cute! Let me hug him! Well? What did you want to talk about so badly? Network security, essentially. Ah! You want to use my airtight security as a model for yours, right? Uh... Well, I don't blame you. After all, it's an impregnable firewall built by a crack staff I spared no expense to hire! Is the satellite system that recently went into operation protected by that, too? Yes, of course. I don't mind you copying it for Lowee... ...but it'll cost you! There are signs that a satellite was hacked by a Lastation server. What?! Like I said, there are-- No way! The probability of that security being compromised is about the same as of a person falling from the sky and landing on me! Nep! Move, move, move, move, move! Move! Phew, I'm safe... For goodness's sake... Landing on me out of the blue is too absurd even for you! Sorry! P-ko threw a fit as we were flying here, and I let go of my transformation by mistake... Not an okay mistake! We're really sorry. Oh, right--P-ko, introduce yourself. I'm Pea! So you have a child this old already. Yep! She's my firstborn, so I just love her to bits! No, wrong! She's a lost kid we're taking care of at my Basilicom! I know, actually. Whoa, I can't believe you set up that joke! Rom, Ram, play nice with her. Okay! Want to play with us? Yeah! I wanna play! So, getting back to the subject... Let's talk somewhere else. Uni, I'm leaving you in charge here for a while. Okay. Um, Nepgear... I'd like your advice about something. Noire's acting strangely? Yeah. She's been locking herself in the office every night doing something. Are you sure it's not work? If it were, she wouldn't lock the door. And sometimes I hear this sort of weird laugh... I'm worried. So basically, you want to know what she's doing all by herself in there? Well... I guess? Then I have just the thing! It's a real coincidence I brought it along. Is this...? A small, discreet remote video transmitter. It's wireless! In other words, a hidden camera... Isn't it amazing that something so small can compress HD video in real time?! I've been wanting to set it up for real sometime! Can I? I can, right?! U-Um... What's so funny? Last time you were all bragging about it, you know? "Lastation's security is the best in the world!" Bam!! And it got hacked! Too funny! The past is past. The important thing is to keep this from happening again. And... And to put the screws on the lowlife who did this, yeah? Whoa, Noire's in serious mode! Actually, I summoned someone here just in case of this very thing. Come in, please. This is Setag, ultra-genius programmer and pride of Leanbox! Setag... who's that? Sweet, an original character! Hello, I'm Setag, biru. Pleased to make your acquaintance, biru. B... "Biru"? Giving anime chicks wacked-out speech habits is so five minutes ago! This character's totally gonna bomb! Not to worry. I'm a one-off character just for this scene, biru. So you're good enough to track down the criminal? Leave it to me, biru. Here, maybe? Or maybe we'd get a better angle from here? You sure seem to be having fun. No, here is definitely best! She's gonna tag me! She's It! She's It! Get back here! Okay! Look, it's working! The picture is so clear... Nice and clean, right?! I'm using NEPEG-4, the latest compression format, to transmit it without losing that crisp HD feel! H-Huh? What's wrong? I'm starting to feel like we're doing something really bad. Can we nix the camera after all? Y-You're right... Don't go over there! Noire will get mad! What's this? There's interference. Wait, but interference means... There's another hidden camera in that room! Wha... What?! It should be somewhere around here... This pisses me off! Any jerk who spies on my sister gets a thrashing from me! That kind of felt directed at me... Well? Which building is it, Nepgear?! O-Oh! Well, this tracing device can only give a general location... Well then, I'll just comb them one by one! I'm surprised you had that thing with you, though. Was that coincidence too? Oh, I always carry this. Mobile battery chargers and signal tracers are must-haves for all girls, right? Girls in what dimension? Nepgear! I'm hungry! Oh, you are? What should we do? I'm hungry, hungry, hungry! You're such a child, Peashy. I'm a big girl now, so I can handle being hungry! I'm a big girl, too! I'm big too. So can you be patient? Okay. Pat, pat. Ram and Rom are amazing! I guess when someone younger than them shows up, they suddenly get mature. Huh? It's our sisters! Why? Say, Noire, is it necessary for us to do this? Couldn't you have left it to your soldiers? But that would be boring. I've got to beat up the bastard who shamed me like this personally! Noire's quite vehement today. I kind of like it--whoa, there. That's the place. This is the enemy hideout Setag found, right? Okay, then! Time to hunt down the culprit! Be quiet! You'll tip him off and he'll get away! Whoa, are you really the right person to say that? They went in here, right? Y-Yeah. Maybe they're after the Peeping Tom, too? Crachy! He ran away! Peashy! Don't move! Put your hands in the air and turn around slowly! You're the hacker, aren't you? Answer me right now! Aw, don't talk like we're strangers! Just call me Anny. Nep?! A-A she-man? Who looks like that?! Well, how rude! My heart is as maidenly as they come! This guy really is flaming. And I bet he has an acerbic wit, too. You got that right! I thought you were all boobs and no brains, but I see I was wrong! I don't care about your gender! Do you admit your crimes, or not?! What? You really are cute in person, Noire. Better than I imagined. I-It's no use trying to distract me with flattery! Oh, no, I'm serious. Se-ri-ous. Sorry for taking these photos, honey! That's Noire, this is Noire--they're all Noire! Peashy! Where are you? Crachy! Where could they have gone? Peashy! I'm a huge fan of yours, Noire! I want to know everything about you--it was an impulse crime! I don't care about photos! I'm talking about the hacking-- Oh, you don't care? Not even about these? Noire is sewing! I wouldn't have expected that from her. Th-That's right! I'm surprisingly domestic! I feel like I've seen that outfit before... You're imagining things! 100% imagining things! Hey! I told you that's not why I'm here! Oh? If it's not those, is it these? Whoa, check this out! These are clearly cosplay photos. So that was a Four Goddesses Online cosplay costume. Don't look! OMG, you're cute when you come unstrung, too! Exclusive! Wh-Why, you...! Fine! For now I'll toss you in a jail cell for the sneak photos! Oh, dear. But if I leave here, all these photos will be automatically published. Is that all right with you? At first I thought I'd keep them all to myself, but wouldn't it be fun to plaster the whole world with Noire? This is a dilemma. If photos like these are published... You'll be too embarrassed to show your face. Nah, I think it'd be okay~. I mean, she's super-cute in them~. You need acting lessons~. Fine. Publish them! And in exchange... Your life is over! Now you're talking. Go! You creep! They're coming from above! It's been fun, Noire honey. And don't worry, I was lying about publishing the pics! Wait, you! Who cares about one little hideout when I got to meet Noire in the flesh? Dreams come true! Hmm? Wh-What? No, no, no! Go away! Crachy! Hey, it's Peashy and Crachy! P-Peashy, you know better! W-We're so sorry, Sir. We're sorry. Honestly, aren't you disciplining this child? "Peashy"? Is your name Peashy? Uh-huh! I'm Pea! Noire? So you're the Peeping Tom! Whoops! Printing out my favorites has become my downfall! I'll make you pay. You're not getting away, she-man! What? Uni? Noire? Okay, okay. I'll give up. He never did admit to the hacking. Well, we captured him, so it's all right. After all, Noire seems to have bigger worries right now. Did you see? Did you see these photos?! U-Um, we di-- Yep! I totally saw! What's "cosplay"? Ugh, what are you guys even doing here?! I can't take this anymore! You all forget everything you saw today, got it?! You understand me?! And Uni! You know better than to bring these three here! P-ko! Hmm? Ta-da! Nep's Want some? I snuck it here in my pocket. Yeah! I want some! Oh, but we each get half, okay? Uh-huh! I'll eat it with Neptuna! Hi, it's me. I found the girl. After I went to the trouble of accessing a satellite, she popped up in a different context. What?! Hmm, good point... Say, Uni... You probably don't want a sister who cosplays, huh? If you don't like it, I can quit. No, don't quit. Being able to do that means work isn't bad right now, right? Yeah. I've got more time lately. And I sort of thought... Maybe that's because I've gotten at least a tiny bit useful? I don't know about that. It's not a tiny bit at all. I depend on you a lot! Sis! Move, move! Move! What was that noise?! Nepupu! Ow, that hurt! Wh-Who are you? Oh! Me? My name is Plutia. I'm the goddess of Planeptune! Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! Love scheme, thermal runaway Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! Pulse wave, echoing love song Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost! Even if we're a madhouse, there are bonds here between us Good job my sweetheart See you next week... No way! The probability of that security being compromised is about the same as of --a person falling from the sky and landing-- Nep! Move! The Fruits (Deep Purple) of Revenge Huh?! FYI, I was not standing in the wrong place! My name is Plutia. Nice to meet you! A toast to Plu-Plu, Planeptune's new CPU! Hey, hold the phone! Compa, you make it sound like Plutie just stole Planeptune from me! Huh? But she's a Planeptune CPU too... Yeah, but not this Planeptune! It's a totally different one, and don't you forget it! Um, I think she's saying that Plutia came from a different dimension. I must say, it's hard to know how to react to a casual declaration about different dimensions. Can you transform, too? Yep, I can! But everybody tells me not to do it unless I have to. Why's that? Hmmm... I'm not really sure... Cut it out, P-ko! I want meat! Neptuna, you can have this instead! Get that away from me! I hate eggplants! How about trying them once in a while, Nep? I made them pretty tasty today, if I do say so myself. No way, no how! Just the smell saps my strength! But they're so good! You're missing out on one third of life. Say what you want, but I hate them! Eggplants are very healthy, you know. Gah, even Histy's stuffing her face with eggplant! Neptune, it sets a bad example to the citizens if their goddess is picky-- Aba! Ababababa aba aba abababa... Miss Histoire, are you all right?! I-I don't know--aba! Aba ababa! It's the curse! The curse of the eggplant! No it's not! I refuse to believe eggplants are food! Abababa help me abababa! A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world "You're one of us, too!" We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds Hyperdimension Neptunia The Fruits (Deep Purple) of Revenge Phew! I apologize. I'd never received a call from another dimension before, so it took some time to find instructions in the manual for how to answer. No, I apologize for calling out of the blue. Thank you for looking after Plutia. You're a bit small, aren't you? Don't write me off just because I'm small. I'll have you know that I was the one to send her to your dimension! Ah, yes... Well, you certainly surprised me. I never dreamed there were different dimensions, or that traveling between them was so easy! It is not easy! It's quite difficult. Oh, excuse me... Well, it is covered in the manual, if you read the fine print. It took three days! I see. I'll try to track that down. Nep's Time for dessert! Me, me! P-ko! I want this one! That one's mine! It says "Nep's" right on the package! Peashy, these ones taste just the same. No! I want Nep's pudding! Why?! It says "Nep's," so obviously it's mine! I said no! You wanna rumble, kid?! Whoa, that's not exactly mature. You shouldn't fight, Neppy. So, why did you send Plutia to this dimension? Well, you see, we detected a big energy transfer from our dimension to yours. Something--or someone--seems to have traveled there. Right... Whatever it is, its energy is so massive that if we don't do something, we may not be able to maintain our world's structural integrity. Right... So I need Plutia to find that great presence and bring it back here. Ah, I see! So, how can we find this "great presence"? Pea Punch! I'm afraid I was unable to find out, even after three days' research. What? Then... All we can do is try to sense any changes in your world as soon as possible. I believe that when a big change occurs, you'll find it nearby. I understand. I'll relay that to everyone here. So if anything strange happens, please report it right away... I see you, Aida! Pokey, pokey... I'll crush you! I'm gonna play with this! Please give that back! Um, are you listening? Oh, I'm sorry, Histoire! I'm listening-- Hey, wait! "If anything strange happens," right? Nothing strange right now! You haven't actually gone outside to check. I'll go out on patrol, okay? Thank you. I'm sorry you always have to cover for them. All right then, see you later. Oh, Compa, you have work now, right? Want to hitch a ride with me? Yay! Thanks, Iffy! All done! Whoa, Plutie, is that-- It's Neptuna! That's right! How cute! Totally! It's a condensed version of everything that makes me moe! I like to make dolls of all my friends. Me! Make one of me, too! Okay, Peashy's next... And then Neppy Jr.! Yay! Isn't that nice? Okay then, I'll get right to it! Hmmm... Are we about to witness some mad crafting skills?! Yeah, maybe she'll even make it without a pattern! Hmmm... Hmmm... zzzz... H-Huh? She's asleep! That kinda is a mad skill! There's a lot of construction today for some reason... Sorry we're late. It's okay, Iffy. I'm with you, so I'm having fun! O-Oh? What?! Compa, hold your breath! You walked right into my trap. Don't tell me you--?! Sis! Sis, wake up! Aw, I can't eat any more... Enough clichéd dreams! Wake up! What's with you, Nepgear? What's this?! That's so mean! I got it from an email address I don't know. There was a map attached, too. We gotta go save her! Y-Yeah... But who would do this? It's time for my revenge. This won't do you any good, Arfoire! Nep and Nepgear will take you down again! Things will go differently this time. I have a secret plan! It's... ...these eggplants! I've found out that eggplants are the CPU's weakness. I'll show her a living hell with this eggplant farm! A wrinkly hag like you will never win no matter what you try! Shut your mouth, little girl! That's right, swallow it all down! Or you'll miss out on one third of life! What's the big idea, you old maid?! Shut up! Eggplant skin is packed with polyphenol, you know! Stop that! So the CPUs arrive. Today's the day I'll kill you both! We'll fight you as much as you like. Just let Iffy g-- Sis, are you okay? Sorry, I just smell eggplant... You finally noticed? I bought this whole farm to take advantage of your weak point. And now it will be your grave! Don't be ridiculous. Sure, I hate eggplant, but of course they won't kill me! Are you sure? Come forth, my purple servants! What are those?! Huh? Where am I? Someplace we can be alone together, chu. Mister Mouse? I wanted to see you so badly I crawled back from hell's pits, chu. Huh? Hell spits? Compa, today's the day I'll pour out all my feelings to you, chu. Eggplants are scary! Stop the eggplants! I don't like this... Nep! Neptune! Plutia! Out of my way! Get it together, Nep! They're just some monsters the old lady magicked up, so get them! Sounds like you haven't learned your lesson. I might as well force-feed you all the eggplants I've got! IF! Nepgear! Ugh, splash of eggplant stink! Well? Eggplants aren't bad raw, now are they? I think you can take more. Go on, swallow! Keep eating! Nep? I'm getting... kind of angry... Why... ...would you go that far... Nep?! ...to bully poor Iffy? Wh-Why shouldn't I do what I want with my hostage?! That's not very nice. Okay, then... Perhaps I'll do what I want with you. Plutie?! She changes even more than Neptune... Who the hell are you?! Me? I'm Iris Heart. But don't worry if that's hard to remember. Because I'll beat it into you! Oh dear, are you not as hardcore as you look? I want you to demonstrate that you've got something to show for your years! I think she's having fun. O-Okay, let's leave her to Plutie. Come on, try using eggplants on me, too! We need to go to work too. Time to wrap this up! You take care of Iffy, and I'll deal with these eggplants. Okay! I figured something out, chu. Without the one I love, my whole life's hollow as Swiss cheese. So... C-C-Compa, baby! M-Mister Mouse?! There! Aw, I thought I could have some more fun with you... But you're just a dog with no bite. You caught me off guard, that's all! If I'd known about you... Losing dogs always yelp excuses like that. I hate listening to all that yapping. I doubt I'll get off no matter how much I play with you, so maybe I'll just finish you now. Plutie, wait. I think that's enough... Did you really think I wouldn't have a trick up my sleeve? I have more purple peril in store for you. Behold my new power! I've absorbed the eggplant's powers--we have become one! They call me Eggoire! Hmm? What's with the lack of reaction? That big, you seem less like an eggplant and more like some random purple thing. Wh-Wh-What?! Right now I'm mostly just angry. I'll make you regret doing that to Iffy, and bringing eggplants of all things into a fight. Nepgear, Plutie, are you ready? Yes, Sis! Oh, I'm ready anytime. My plant-plan is ruined! You should've absorbed a more balanced nutrient profile. Compa... Let's have our fateful kiss, chu. Chuuuu! Mister Mouse... Chuuuu? Have you stopped being a bad person? I... don't like bad people... What if I wasn't a bad person? Who are you and why are you ruining the best part, chu?! Rats are only good for crawling around dirty sewer pipes. You've got some nerve, trying to sully cute little Compa. Don't tell me you're a new CPU! Huh? "CPU"? Vulgar little rodents like you need to call me... ...Madame Goddess! Wow, Mister Mouse's body is so soft! He's all stretchy, like elastic! Do it! Come on, now, I don't speak "chu"! Come on! Are you feeling better now, IF? Yes. I wasn't actually injured or anything. Still, Arfoire was quite the fearsome enemy! Yeah! There was someone more fearsome today, though... Oh? What do you mean, Neppy? Ah, nothing! We'd better try not to let her transform from now on... The food is ready! Food, food! Food, food! Nep?! Eggplant stir fry?! Yep! Wh-Why make eggplant again after that?! Peashy asked me to! I guess she really liked it when she ate it yesterday. Eggplant! Eggplant! Plus I heard you conquered your eggplant phobia, Nep-Nep! No, no, that was an adrenaline-fueled burst of strength type of thing... No eggplants! They're scary and I hate them and I don't want to eat them! IF?! Please calm down! Now Iffy has an eggplant phobia too? I can kind of understand that, though. Iffy, my kindred spirit! Eggplants are yummy! Do you seriously want to be an eggplant farmer, chu? Did you give up on world domination? Yeah. I'm a little tired. Plus, that strategy wiped out my savings. And it's not like I've got anywhere else to go. You'll help me? Not like I got anything else to do anyway. It's funny... For the first time, I really feel like I'm living. I'm chargin' you by the hour, chu. Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Hooked!

This is why I hate you, P-ko! Stupid Neptuna! Dummy! The one who calls people "dummy" is the real dummy, you know! You're seriously fighting with a little kid on her maturity level? Huh?

I mean, okay, I know I maybe went a little too far, but... So anyway, why are you all here? She changed the subject. Peashy, there you are! Ploot... I've been looking everywhere for you!

So we're not just going there for fun? No, unfortunately not. Yesterday my satellites discovered a giant gun battery installed there. So we decided to investigate. Plus Histoire asked us to be on the lookout. I wonder if someone is trying to start a war... Hey, Neppy, I want to fly by myself. What? N-No! You stay like that, Plutie! Please! Aw... But if she can transform, why not have her do it? I promise, if you'd seen that, you'd agree with me! Huh? The answer is no! You're a meanie, Neppy! Don't kick like that! What in the world are they doing? The Paradise (Island) Forbidden ...on which people will DO THINGS to other people and forget wardrobe Why don't I get to go to R-18 Island with them?! malfunction because there might even be some tonguing and it'll be like 'Oh no, Neptune is so embarrassed~~'!

Are you looking for something? No I'm not! Yeah, she's totally looking for Nep. I bet she wants to say she's sorry. She can be sweet after all! Nep should've made up with her before she left... Those two are like family now, and stuff like that happens in families. All right, now we go through R-18 Island's immigrations inspection. W-Will this do? It feels a little strange to wear a swimsuit while I'm transformed. Not that it's much of a change. Swimsuits are this island's dress code. Or you can go all-nude. Quite a radical dress code... I see Blanc and Plutia are done changing too. Hi there! Yo. Is this cute? Goodness me! Is it? Is it? Goodness me... Hey! You looked at my chest when you said that! What? O-Of course not. I just... ...vaguely worried about whether they'd recognize you as adults. You sure didn't say it vaguely! I'm sure it's fine! Goddesses are essentially ageless anyway. Well, we'll give it a shot. Immigrations check, please! Welcome to R-18 Island. Welcome to R-18 Island. Yes No I ask you: are you an adult? I ask you: are you an adult? But of course. You are cleared. Please enjoy R-18 Island. Sadly I'm here on business... Come on, everyone. Right. You are cleared. I'm an adult! Are you really 18 or older? No Yes Are you really 18 or older? Yes. Yep! Really? No Yes Really? Yes, really! It doesn't believe me... No You're really a little girl, aren't you? Yes You're really a little girl, aren't you? Like hell I am! Yes No With that chest? With that chest? Let's go. Yay! Y-You gave it a shot and then an axing... Okay, we're on the island, but where to now? Good question. I hope we can ask someone... Hello and welcome! If you need anything, just call on Linda, your friendly official guide! I'll give you a discount. You're-- It's the kidnapper! The CPUs?! So you're the bitch who snatched my sisters! W-W-W-W-Wait, please! I'm reformed now and working hard! That better be true. You'll pay if you're lying. I'm not lying! I've completely turned over a new leaf! I see, so you're searching for the gun battery shipped here. Do you know where it might be? Of course! Leave it to me! Oh, but hey, I wanna go to the fun places too! This isn't a vacation, you know! But... Okay! I've got just the place! The most beautiful spot on all of R-18 Island: Hiwaikiki Beach! That's bold! Wha... Wha... Wha... Why is everyone na-na-na...! Everyone's naked! My, how uninhibited! W-We don't need to be here! Let's go find the gun ba-- Hey, what are those glowy things? Ah, that's Mysterious Light Grass. It loves risqué places! Wh-Why not just wear swimsuits?! R-Risqué places... Which means... It's okay to do this, huh! N-Neptune, that's bold... You try it, Nepgear! It's super fun! What? I'll join you! Nep! Me too! It feels great! Nepgear! If everyone's doing it, so will I! Huh? Take this! Now you've done it! Take this! You're right! It does feel good to be in my birthday suit! What are they doing...? Let's get going! No use acting pure! With expert use of Mysterious Light Grass... What? Well, what do you know? You look naked even in your swimsuits! Huh?! Neptune, you perv! What was that for?! Perving is the heart's job! Now start stripping! All right, fine. Wait. Nep! Eheh, she caught us! I thought it was a perfect plan... I figured as much. But Neptune, you ripped off your bikini! That was an afterimage! No way! Noooo! It was cruel to trick me! Ah, sorry, Nepgear. I didn't think you'd really strip... All According To Plan I'll bring you your swimsuit. All done! What do you think, Blanny? Wax on, wax smoothed! Up, down! Vert, I think that's enough... Oh, there are still places I haven't oiled. See? I'll do the rest myself! Ladies! Would you like some iced tea? That's pretty thoughtful. Tea for me! That's the stuff! Help yourselves, everyone. Sis? What's wrong? Party time! Neptune? Are you all right? Sis...? Oh no, I'm so embarrassed! What?! Yes! It's so improper to be dressed like this! Please don't look at me! Don't look, don't look! Wh-Why's Neptune acting creepy? This isn't my sister! Don't look! I've heard of this-- There's a drug that doubles a person's sense of shame, which is the greatest taboo on this island. Nep... nep! Y-You've got it all wrong! I don't know about any dru-- Naughty Medicine♥ You bitch! You've messed with the wrong-- I don't really get it, but you did say you'd turned over a new leaf, right? Plutia, no! I'm a trueborn villain! Like hell would I change that quick! Nep! Nep! Oh... So you can't do it quick... Don't look at me! Don't look! Okay... Uh-oh, she transformed. Then perhaps I'll torment you slowly until you're reborn! G-Go a-ahead and t-t-try it... Oh, dear. She ran! Heh, she'll never catch up to me in the jungle! Boing! I don't need to pull my punches with a hopelessly stupid little cheater like you, now do I? Okay then, let punishment time begin! Nooooo! Cry for me! Goodness! That's... extreme... It's certainly rated-18 material. It's actually kind of lonely when people don't look at me! O-Oh, sorry sis! I'm watching you! We're ready, everyone! Yay! Yay, a pool! Peashy, don't ju-- Peashy! Sheesh, you know better! Yay! It's cold! Honestly, it's not like I care about a crappy pool like-- Got you! You'll pay for that! Ah, this feels good. Peashy? What is it? Compa, you're boingy! I'm gonna be boingy too! Yep! When you grow up, I'm sure you'll be boingy too! Boingy! Coming! I apologize for the wait. May I ask your name? U-Um... We are al-most at the gun bat-te-ry. Al-most gun al-most we are al-most al-most al-most-most-most. She's a completely different person. al-most al-most al-most-most-most. I think any victim of that would be. Ve-ry close. Ve-ry close. The perp looks unconcerned, though. Are you okay? Yeah... But I can't remember what I was doing. Maybe it's best if you don't. What, really?! Oh, but Neppy... ...you were so cute. Huh? A chill just ran down my spine... We have a-rrived ev-er-y-one. Nep? Wh-What is this? They look happy! Um... Is it a disco? Look there! Is that the gun battery? It's just a bubble-maker! Hey, it stopped. It's about to start something. What's it going to do? How pretty! No, I mean, why did we come all the way here for this-- That was...! Did I imagine that? Yeah, I must have... he's in jail... Thank you for waiting. I've brought her here, but Peashy says she doesn't remember her mother. I-I'm sure she'll remember soon! Well, Peashy? I dunno that lady. B-But you must! I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! It's all right. I'll fetch a towel. Wait just a moment; I'll wipe that right up. Um... Yes? Ma... ma... What? She seems to have remembered me. Mama... Then you're really...? Mama. Mama. That's what I call a waste of effort. Yeah... Noire, what's wrong? You're acting strangely. Hmm? No, it's nothing. Could you be regretting not getting naked, perhaps? Huh? Then does that make Noire a cosplayer who's an aspiring nudist? You're the nudist, Nepgear. Hey, you've all seen me transform now, right? So why don't I transform and-- Absolutely not! You guys are meanies! We're home! Welcome back. Check it out, I brought a present! Nep's I wrote my name on 'em! Now they're all Nep's puddings! We won't have to fight anymore, huh, P-ko? Huh? Where's P-ko? Neptune, you see... P-ko went back home? Yes. Her mother came for her. But this is just too sudden! Peashy insisted on going home with her right away. She left without even telling us. I miss her. B-But we can still visit her sometimes, right? Well... She was gone before we could ask her address. Oh, no! Dummy. Stupid P-ko! The one who calls people "dummy" is the real dummy. I brought her here. Good work. W-Was it okay to do this? Why send me to... Actually, what was the black stuff in that bottle? Your name is Rei Ryghts, I believe? Y-Yes... Then remember this, little Rei: You should only ask questions when there's a point in hearing the answer. Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! Love scheme, thermal runaway Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! Pulse wave, echoing love song Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost! Even if we're a madhouse, there are bonds here between us Good job my sweetheart See you next week... Nepstation Hello! I'm Plutia. I'm doing Nepstation today! My guest is Set-- The Challenge (Rebellion) of Eden Are you just gonna sleep forever? Wake up! I'm still sleepy, Neppy... Nothing doing! We're going out on patrol again! Aw... Come on, no going back to sleep! Anyway, get your butt in gear. Morning, Nepgear! We'll leave in half an hour, okay? O-Okay, Neptune... Man, Neppy's exhausting lately... Yes. A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Hyperdimension Neptunia The Challenge (Rebellion) of Eden What? So Nepgear and Neptune are both out? Yes. Lately they've been out on patrol all day, every day. What? Even Neptune? Yeah, that's an understandable reaction. By the way, why are you in Lowee, Uni? I've been helping out Rom and Ram. The thing is, we-- --used our satellites to track down-- --where Peashy is! What?! Everything seems in order for the moment. Y-Yeah, it looks that way... Neppy, we came here three days ago! A lot can change in three days. It's a pack of wild dogs! They weren't here before. Let's go kill them. Huh? But there's almost no chance they'll wander into town from here. Monsters are monsters. You see one, you kill one! Sis, wait! Oh, here they are! Thanks for waiting! Sorry to make you come with us. It's no problem. We miss Peashy too! Which building does Peashy live in? Well, from the satellite photos you sent us, it's probably... Hello! Looks like this one's empty, too. Then it's gotta be the top floor! Should we really have come on our own? Nepgear and Neptune want to see Peashy too, right? Yes, of course. We can just take Peashy to the Basilicom. They'll be shocked when they come home. Yay, a surprise! Good point. So... is this Peashy's place? Hello! Peashy! What is this place? Where's Peashy? We don't need goddesses! Let's free ourselves from dependence on the CPUs! No to Goddesses! "No to Goddesses"? That's just rude. No to Goddesses! I recognize this from somewhere... We saw her in town, remember? We should live by proper regulations, not by a goddess's rule. We don't need goddesses! Let's free ourselves from dependence on the CPUs! No to Goddesses! Huh? Does this mean the girl passing out fliers that day was Peashy's mom? Hard to say. At any rate, it looks like no one's here. Peashy... I hate goddesses, you know. All the goddesses should just disappear. So why am I helping with this...? Learn to resign yourself, little Rei. You're forcing me to do this! I'm just a citizen activist! So why me? It wasn't my choice. My client told me to bring you into the fold. Who is your client? Beats me. We've only spoken on the phone. Anyway, the pay isn't bad. I'm going home. Oh, I can't have that. You're an accomplice now. You're the one who kidnapped her, aren't you? Now quit moping over there and do your job. This girl is almost done. You help too, Plutie. I don't wanna. I feel bad for them. What are you talking about? This is partly for your sake. You need to sense changes in the world as soon as possible, right? This doesn't even count as a change. And... Plutia is-- It really pisses me off when people do stuff for themselves and then talk like it's for someone else. Are you talking about me, Plutie? Do you see anyone else making a nuisance of herself like that? I-I'm only trying to patrol and look for changes in-- I love you to pieces, Neppy, don't get me wrong. But when people lie to themselves about their feelings... I want to torment them no matter who they are, you know?! Stop, Plutie. I don't want to fight you...! Oh, I feel the same way. And if you abandon yourself to my tender mercies, we won't have to fight! What should I do? What should I do? What's wrong, Neppy? Put your back into it! Is this all you've got? Stop it, Plutie! Stop it... Stop it... I said stop it! Not bad! That's my Neppy. Stay my friend, Plutie. I'll do anything for you! You're still lying to yourself. Isn't it someone else you really want to do anything for? P-ko... I should've played with P-ko more. I should've fed her more Nep's pudding! I wish I'd really come out and said "let's be together"...! Good girl. When you've got feelings you can't do anything about, just let them out. We all like you that way, you know. Hello? Hey, Plutie... What is it, Neppy? I think this part of you might've been more comfy transformed! Yeah? Then I'll transform for you! Huh? No, I'm kidding! This is good too--like a washboard giving my heart a good scrubbing! Really? Yay! Neptune! Plutia! Oh, did you want a scrubbing too? U-Um... So, I just got a call from Histoire. She says a new country formed! Huh?! What's this about "a new country," Miss Histoire? I'm not sure yet. We just got a notification out of the blue from R-18 Island that said, "I made a new country." Neptune and Nepgear say they'll meet up with the other CPUs and go investigate. What's this about? As I said, they're inves-- Why is Nepgear always the only one who gets to go to R-18 Island?! Not fair! We're goddesses too! They should take us with them! I'm afraid I'm not the one who-- Not cool! I wanna go there! Me too! R-18 Island. I did find the place suspicious, but... Did that gun battery mean something after all? We missed the warning signs right in front of our eyes. Plutie, do you think the "great presence" you're looking for is there, too? I don't know, but maybe... Everyone look out! Hi there, my beloved little CPUs! It can't be! Allow me to humbly welcome you... to the brand-new nation of Eden! Goodness, is that my dear Noire? How?! I just confirmed three days ago that you were in jail! I know! You kindly visited me while I was serving time! Well, my double, technically. How dare you play games with me! I'll capture you right now! Oh, but that won't do! This is a sovereign nation, so even you can't do that. You silly. As though I'd recognize a nation created by a criminal! You don't even have a CPU! Now come along quietly! Noire! Owie... Flying is hard! Are you... ...a goddess? Yep! My name is... Um, um... Oh, right! It's Yellow Heart! Nice to meet you! Th-They're so big! Vert's about to lose her whole identity. Wh-What are you talking about?! The important thing isn't size, it's shape-- Oh, no, I sound just like the whining losers who've said that to me! Can't say I sympathize. Hey, you! Whoa, someone grew out of my butt! I did not! Whatever, just get off me already! I'm gonna capture him! Capture him? I won't let you! S-She's so strong! Good girl, Yellow Heart! These scary ladies are all trying to capture me. You can't do that! If it's a fight you want, prepare to get one! I'll wipe the floor with you! I hardly broke a sweat. Guess she's just a rookie after all. This is fun! Let's keep playing! She hasn't taken any damage... This is just the process. The actual goal is something else... Hey, you! Wh-What?! Do you know something about that big gun battery? N-No, I do not! Aw, tell me. Anything would help. I have nothing to do with it! But you were taking a walk near it, right? I-I was just passing by! You just reek of lies. That was cool! Do some more! Who is that girl? I-I keep telling you, I was tricked into helping him, that's all! I'm a victim. Hmm. You know, I really hate girls who play the victim. I'm begging you, don't hurt me! Don't pick on her! I hate girls who interrupt my fun, too! Plutie! Plutia! Are you all right?! Yeah... It's just a scratch... Neppy, don't do it. What? I didn't plan to fight you just because you were a new country's goddess... But you're the one who started this! I won't pull punches anymore! Huh? You won't play anymore? Th-There's more to it than just jiggling! Vert, calm down. I suppose it's about time for the climax. This is my true power. Tricolor Order! Ein Schlag! Darjeeling Red! Dual Edge! Did we get her? That line totally set an "enemy comeback" flag. Sorry. That hurt... I stopped being big! P-ko...?! Papa! Mama! Where are you?! Here we are! Great job, little Peashy. You praise her too, Mama. Huh?! G-Good girl. Thank you. Pick me up! Sure, honey. Up we go. Aw, so cute. P-ko! What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're... No, you couldn't be. Go away! I hate people who're mean to Papa and Mama! I hate them! P-ko... Hey! What did you do to her? Me, do something to her? You jest! I'm a simple magistrate. My job is to serve her. Allow me to deliver a belated introduction. You see before you Eden's goddess: Lady Peashy, also known as Yellow Heart! Neppy... Ah, and now Rei here has an important announcement. Go on, read it. Huh? R-Right... "Th-The land of Eden, ruled by... CPU Yellow Heart... seeks"... We can't heeeeear you! "Seeks unrestricted circulation of our adults-only content from every nation!" "If you do not consent... W-W-We will... consider you to... have d-declared war!" You want to fight?! Do you actually think some brand-new country with hardly any Shares can beat us?! It's really quite reckless of us. But isn't this sort of plot twist so exciting? Does this mean... war with Peashy? Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! Love scheme, thermal runaway Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! Pulse wave, echoing love song Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost! Even if we're a madhouse, there are bonds here between us Good job my sweetheart See you next week... Now Rei here has an important announcement. Go on, read it. Huh? Right... --"U-U-Unable to c-control"... We can't heeeeear you! "Unable to control the smoldering heat The Battlefront (Conflict) of Oblivion deep within her, Rei"-- Who asked you to read erotica?! Maidakai Village, Southern Planeptune Going on trips is fun! March! March! People of Eden, please stop! If you keep coming... I'll shoot! It's that bad goddess! Peashy... I hate bad goddesses, but Papa said a little playing is okay! So let's play! Hyperdimension Neptunia A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" The Battlefront (Conflict) of Oblivion Noire! Is it true that Eden invaded Planeptune?! Yes. Evidently Nepgear's fighting them on her own right now. I'll go too! Uni, look at this. Release them! Release them! Free the adults-only content! Freedom of expression! Freedom of expression! We want to see more explicit stuff! Free the adults-only content! Down with age restrictions! Release them! Release them! Free the adults-only-- Riots by extremists making the same demand as Eden are breaking out simultaneously in Lastation, Leanbox, and even Lowee. In other words, we can't afford to worry about Planeptune right now. It's definitely an Eden diversionary tactic, but we still have to take care of it first. But what about Planeptune?! What about Nepgear?! Our first priority is to protect our own country. Because we're goddesses. Release them! Release them! Good, good, that's the spirit! Go, go, go! It only took a moment for the whole world to turn upside-down... Now, now, don't talk like you had nothing to do with it. You're the commander-in-chief of our army, you know. "Our army"? You're just manipulating the troops and the rioters into doing what we say! Just what is that black mist?! Like I keep telling you, I don't know. Everything comes from the client, and we're forbidden to pry. I'm afraid. It looks like the world will just go crazy... Hmm, who knows? I won't let anyone get any further--not even you, Peashy! Okay! Let's play here, then! That CPU seems to be the "great presence" we've been looking for! I was afraid of that. Then Peashy knew IF and me before we met because... She knows the two of you in the other dimension, I assume. This is complicated! The thing is, right now a portion of our world is unraveling really fast! Does this mean that's the place Peashy was supposed to be ruling? I believe so! So we need Plutia to bring her back here as soon as possible, even if by force! I don't like forcing people... Plutia! If we leave her there, our country will be in trouble too! I know, but... Hello? Oh, yes! Get a grip, Neptune! N-Noire? Jeez, you're still home! How about you get out there and protect your people?! But, but... But it's P-ko. For crying out loud, you're a CPU! So think about your country, not your own feelings! You mean, take down P-ko? I would. That's all I wanted to say. Bye. Was I too harsh? No, I know she'll... Maybe Noire could do that, but... If you can't do it, I think that's okay. Let's stay here forever, lying around playing games and stuff. Even I can't play games at a time like this... Why not? If you won't fight it's the same thing, isn't it? No. Games are for having fun, not for escaping reality! Escaping? I... This is fun! She really isn't taking any damage! Here I go! Why?! At this rate I'll never... Sis...! Sorry I'm late, Nepgear. It's okay. But Sis... Come on, let's play more! Nepgear, Helloooo! you take care of the soldiers and the monsters. Hey, are you listening? What? They'll breach the barricade soon. But... Go! Okay, got it. P-ko! This time I'll play with you! My own way. Bring it on, P-ko! Here comes a big one! Bam! Pow! Huh? It's over already? Neptuna's not that easy to beat. And you know it, P-ko! Neptuna...? I don't know you! Nuh-uh, I know you remember. Because... I'm your Neptuna, P-ko! I don't know you! You do too! Do not! Do too! Do not, do not! You're weak! This is boring! I won't play with you anymore! The one who calls people "weak" is the real weak one, you know! The one who calls people "dummy" is the real dummy, you know! I hate you. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I really hate you! Eden hardly has any believers yet, but I sensed a ton of Share energy in Yellow Heart... Something's up. Noire! Plutia? Why are you here? Neppy wouldn't play a game with me. What? What about you? Should you be here? It's fine. I've got a talented little sister. If you still want to fight, you'd better be ready! Oh, I see. Goddesses! Shhh! We've been spotted! Looks like I'll have to charge in head-on! I thought everyone on the island got turned into soldiers, but I see you hung in there. P-Please spare me! Hmmm, what to do... Wiggle wiggle! Ahaha, that tickles! I just knew you'd come! Accept my torrent of love, my darling Noire! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! Got you, P-ko. Lemme go! Lemme go! Lemme go, lemme go, lemme go! I won't let you go! Never again! That's my Noire! But you see, my love is unlimited! Yes! So good! Little Rei, stop playing around and find the other goddess! Oh, I'm right here. Oh, dear. How...? My friend just happened to know. I kept my virginity in exchange for the info! You're not really my type, but I need to punish you, hmm? Ah, if I'm being punished, I'd rather have Noire do it. Dear me. Speak of the devil! There's nothing my sword can't cut through! Eep. Not bad. Okay, I'll join in... ...and whip you hard! What is this? Share energy's coming from this machine! You're so violent. You didn't have to break it; I'd have shown it to you if you'd just asked. Is this the secret to Yellow Heart's strength? I'm afraid I signed a confidentiality agreement. So, what will happen to Peashy and Eden if we break this, I wonder? Since he won't tell us, we'll just have to try it and see. Fighting Viper! Lace Ribbon Dance! Oh, dear! Lemme go! Lemme go! Nope, nothing doing! No! Remember! Remember, P-ko! I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! I dunno anything! Freedom of expression! Huh? What happened? What is this? Where are we? No! Lemme go! P-ko... P-ko! I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you! I hate you! Well, I like you. I hate you, I hate you! I love you, P-ko. I love ya to bits and bits! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! I hate you... I hate you... That's okay. It's okay if you hate me. As long as you're here... I hate you... And so the new nation of Eden's short history came to an end. The riots in the other nations subsided without many casualties, and everything went back to normal... or it should have. But Peashy's memories were still... Nep... tune...? Take care, everybody. To think this is goodbye... I'll miss you. Somehow it feels like we've been friends forever. I won't forget you two. Me either! Oh, Neppy Jr.! Here! Huh? Is this me? Thank you! Take good care of it! Take care, Peashy. Even if you don't remember us... We'll always be friends! Yeah. I hope the us in Peashy's dimension make friends with her again. It'll be fine. I mean, it's us we're talking about. All right, everyone, I hate to say goodbye, but it's time... We only have a limited time to open the gate! Oh, wait! Neptune is still-- It's time. Opening the gate! Hey! Neptune! You're late! Sorry! Plutie, thanks so much for coming. I just know we'll meet again! Yep, definitely. P-ko, you take this! Nep's Neptune, what's this? It's the tastiest thing in the world! E-Excuse me! Please enter the gate! Okay! See you later, everybody! Peashy. Neptuna? We have no idea why we meet each other We never know when we'll meet each other Where were you, where have you lived your life? Two stories playing out under distant skies You're the vertical thread I'm the horizontal thread Maybe the cloth we weave can warm someone up someday The day I was uncertain about my reason to live left some fraying The day I fell down chasing my dream left some fraying I've trembled in the wind, anxious about what a thread like me could become You're the vertical thread I'm the horizontal thread When we get to meet the threads we need to in life, we call that happiness We call that happiness Peashy Neptuna Neptuna P-ko. Neptuna Peashy I won't forget you two. Me either! Oh, Neppy Jr.! Here! Huh? It's sort of different from the other-- Take good care of it. The Emissary (Aggressor) of Old Y-Yes! I've never seen a Sharicite so bright! It's amazing! Nep, what does this mean? As you can see, Planeptune is currently a smash hit! Our Shares were in slow decline for some time, but one day they suddenly jumped. Now we're far outpacing the other three countries. Why would that happen...? 'Cause Planeptune has the 64-bit-level performance our era's been waiting for, obviously! I believe the main reason is that we were able to repel Eden's invasion. It seems a little much even for that, though... But Nep-Nep did work really hard. That's true. Congratulations, Neptune! Aw, this is nothing for a Neptune in serious mode! But we're here today for this. Behold! I wanna thank our citizens by opening up the Basilicom grounds and throwing a big festival! I call it... the Dynamite Wonder Festival! Why... Why did things turn out like this...? I'm just a citizen activist... Hyperdimension Neptunia A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!!

Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" The Emissary (Aggressor) of Old Okay, so the festival opens tomorrow! And you're all invited! Here! You called us here for this? Huh? I don't have time to waste on stupid stuff. I'm going home. Hey, Blanc! Wait! Come on, wait! I know you mean well, but don't you think that was a bit insensitive, Neptune? Huh? Ever since those riots, Shares are plummeting in every nation but yours! I know, but... It probably hit Blanc the hardest. You had the fewest Shares for years, and then you overtook her in an instant. Yeah, Lowee's an old country, so they've got a lot of pride. And it rankles enough without that. Well, I'll beat you in no time anyway! Whoa, hold it! We're allies who signed a friendship treaty! Who cares about our Share rankings? I do! The friendship treaty doesn't change the fact that we're vying for Shares. Yes. I'm sorry, but I'm just not softhearted enough to celebrate another nation's Shares rising. Oh, hey-- What about my request to have 5pb. at the opening event? Impossible. She's already slated to be on my web program tomorrow. Vert... Are you skipping too, Noire? Yes. I'm busy. I don't even know anything about the Share-creating device I found in Eden yet. And I've got plenty of other-- Okay, got it. But if your schedule happens to open up, come by any time, okay? Neptune... See you later, Noire. Sis, welcome back! Welcome home! Thanks. Your investigation? I believe I'll be able to report the results tomorrow, my lady. Hurry. Hey, sis, let's play a game! There's a new Lowee Sports! So exciting! All right. Let's play. Ga-thunk, ga-thunk, ga-thunk! Hello again, Abnes Channel viewers! It's Abnes, friend of little boys and girls everywhere! I've been informed that crowds of boys and girls are being gathered here at Planeptune's Basilicom! I smell a conspiracy! Okay, time to save the little children! Ga-thunk! Your conspiracy is foiled! D-Don't be fooled, everyone! This is a trick to hoodwink children! I'm sure this country's little-girl goddess is plotting evil-- Jeez, watch out! Ah! Little-girl goddess! Huh? You can't escape me! Today's the day I'll prove little girls can't be CPUs! Prepare yourself! Huh? Now give up quietly and just be a little girl! Um... Who are you again? She doesn't remember me... Neptune, we have to deliver these right away! Ah, yep, I got it! Hey, Nepgear, have this girl help you, okay? Hmm? Oh, are you a volunteer? Could you bring this to the "Green Hill" attraction-- I'm Abnes, friend of all children! We've met, remember?! Oh, have we? She doesn't remember me either! Hello, Blanc? Are you coming after all? What? Honestly, she's so pushy. I'm busy today, too! Blanc! I'm here. Where are you? Blanc! Getter Ravine! What are you doing, Blanc?! Hand over the damn Shares, Neptune! What are you talking about? Taking Shares by force is prohibited by the friendship trea-- Oh, but cheating is fine?! What do you mean? I don't understand. I investigated all the countries' Share movements. And guess what I found: Planeptune's Shares went up by the same amount Lowee lost! What? Lastation and Leanbox got robbed the same way. That explains your sudden popularity, huh Neptune?! Wait! I know nothing about this! This is the first I've heard of that even being possible! Oh really? It's true! Believe me! Let's say I trusted you. Histoire still might've done it. Histy? She would never! In that case... maybe it was Nepgear! Sis! Don't do that! Stop... please! You two keep quiet! This is an international relations issue! We won't keep quiet! Nepgear and the others would never do that! Because we're friends! Well, someone is freakin' doing it! We'll call today a warning. But Neptune... If you keep playing dumb about this... ...there'll be war. What's happening? All better! Be careful when you run, okay? Wait up, Purple Sister! Over here! Wait! Now watch closely! Wow! What a crowd! Neptune did a magnificent job. Why, if it isn't Noire! How nice of you to visit. How've you been? You've got guts, emailing me under tight security like this. I was just dying for some girl talk with you! If you've got something to say, say it. I'm a busy woman. You're as cold as ever. You'll never make friends that way, you know! Get on with it! Fine, fine. As you know, I've got lots of free time lately. So I've been checking into my client... The one behind Eden. Oh, just so you know, I didn't violate my contract! It didn't specify any prohibitions after my work was complete. I couldn't care less! So did you learn anything? Who was behind that?! Here's the thing... The time... is ripe. Rei Ryghts? I thought you dragged her into it... Yes, that's what I always thought, too. Is she a con artist, then? If that were all, I would've seen through her. The fact that I never caught on means that little Rei... Well?! ...is something far more uncanny. Maybe! Me, introduce the event? Yes. Nep went off somewhere, and she hasn't come back. Very well. But what could have happened to Neptune...? Miss Histoire, what is this?! Reborn at last. My continent... my country... Tari! What's that? Who is she? Hey, you unlittle goddess! Those little children are trapped! Help! Quit standing around and go save them! R-Right! Oh, here already, goddess of Planeptune? Are you... Rei Ryghts? I'm not a fan of that name, you know? I mean, it's so lame--totally not goddess-y. Are you another new goddess? Excuse me? Try not to insult me, okay? I came along way before you did. I'm the goddess of Tari. CPU of the great country that unified this land! Goddess of Tari...? What could that continent be? Who in the world is Nep talking to? I don't know. All I know is this: That light comes from a Sharicite. Huh? There's no doubt about it--the woman speaking to Neptune... ...is a goddess. "Tari"... isn't that the vast, ancient nation that perished long ago? Whoops, got that part wrong! It hasn't perished! See, I've been waiting all along for the right time to make a comeback. If you are the goddess of Tari... What exactly are you after? How's about you give your land and all its people to me? I mean, if you do, I might spare your life! By which I mean, "This place was mine to begin with, so shut up and give it back, you damn bitch!” You feel me? Don't be ridiculous. This is Planeptune--my country. Obviously I can't do that. Oh, so that's your answer? And you didn't even give it a second thought! There's no other option. Well then... Fully charged with energy! Threatening me won't work. Oh, wait, wait! Can you say that now, Goddess Goody-Goody? Pongg Laser Cannon... Fire! How could you?! Those are the tools of our trade! Look out! Are you all right? I can't show this to the world without a camera! Huh? Well? Is your answer still the same? Welcome to Vert's Room. My guest today is Leanbox's very own diva, 5pb. She's agreed to give us a world premiere of a song on the new album about to come out. I hope you'll all stay tuned. A reply from Uni? Yep! She says she didn't get to go to Planeptune's festival either. Maybe we won't get to play with Nepgear anymore... What are you talking about, Rom? Of course we will! But... Sis was really angry... It's no good, the internet and regular phones are both down! All our communications equipment has been destroyed! Which means... ...we can't seek help from anyone. Your answer's changed now, right? Only a big dummy wouldn't change it now! You're right. It's changed. I won't let you get away with any more of this! This is my country and my people... ...and I'll protect them! Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! Love scheme, thermal runaway Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! Pulse wave, echoing love song Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost! Even if we're a madhouse, there are bonds here between us Good job my sweetheart See you next week... It's no good, the internet and regular phones are both down! Which means... Aw, pre-orders just opened for the new game console, The Ties (Bifrosts) to Tomorrow but I can't get through! Hey! The Ties (Bifrosts) to Tomorrow It doesn't work at all! It's okay. I'll help you find your mommy. Compa! Ge-Ge! Nep-Nep is fighting... Yes, I'm about to go join her. Excuse me?! Obviously evacuating the little boys and girls comes first! Yes, please help them, Nepgear. Histy! Iffy! You're all right? Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's guide everyone away from town. Understood! Everyone! That way! Hurry! Neptune... Wait just a little longer. "Hyperdimension Neptunia" A meaningless string of characters Tell me, compiler A binary tree in disarray Yeah, I can't get anything across with just 0s and 1s... Ping→link!! You and we connect Hit check!! If we're doing this, now's the time Happyful×∞ Cure☆pure dimension tripper!!!! Kick down the dimensional door and come over To this sparkling☆sparkling world We're the strongest party, with 100x the bonds "You're one of us, too!" Blaze Break! Seriously, attack all you want, it won't do any good! That lightning is certainly powerful, but I shouldn't be taking this much damage... Something's not right. Mommy! I'm glad. Ge-Ge?! What's wrong?! It's just... I feel like the Share energy inside me is fading... Nepgear, maybe you should change out of your CPU form. Huh? I don't know what's causing it, but our Share energy is dropping rapidly. Now then... Time to charge up the Pongg Laser again! And the next target is... So many people--I pick that spot! Stop! Don't wanna! Lock on. Lady Neptune is-- Lady Neptune! We're done for! What do we do?! I don't want to die! Everyone, it'll be all right! Calm down! I know my sister will-- But Lady Neptune is losing! We're doomed! Nepgear! Nepgear, you mustn't. The Share energy isn't... Enough with the gloomy face! Rainy Ratnapura! This is your event? It's pretty flashy. Noire... And Vert! You came? I'm only here to drop off 5pb. Hi! Sorry for the wait, Nepgear. Uni! And Miss 5pb., too! Thanks, Uni. It was nothing. I'll go help with the fight, then. Yeah. Fight my share, too! Is that 5pb.? In the flesh?! Why come somewhere so dangerous? Hey everybody! There's nothing to worry about! Let's believe in our goddesses! She's brought something quite ostentatious with her. Might I ask who she is? She says she's the goddess of ancient Tari. I don't know how a country so long dead got any Share energy, though. That thing. Eden used the same device. She's making Share energy with it. Then I suppose we start by destroying that. I'll hit home! It is a bit of a pain fighting four of you. My... strength is fading... What's... happening? What did you do?! My Share energy is draining away! What? Does that thing... steal Share energy?! You got it. Ah, the laser's collected enough energy now. So, can I shoot? No! Stop! Not that saying that will stop me. Fire! Ice Sanctuary! What?! Go in under the laser, and she can't get you with lightning. Right? Blanc! Rom! Ram! We did it, huh Rom? We're unbeatable! Yeah, Ram! Unbeatable! I can feel it... Share energy! Histoire! Yes! Thank you, Blanc! I cooled off and thought it over. I figure if Eden's machine was for stealing Share energy, it'd explain a lot. That's our Blanc. Still, it's not nice of you to steal all the glory. Neptune! Let's get started. It's our turn--the CPUs' turn! You're too late! I've totally got enough Share energy to destroy this world! "Destroy"?! Wasn't it this country you wanted? Are you stupid? Like I give a shit about that! What I want to do is... ...wreck everything. Why? You're a goddess too, aren't you? That's right, I am. But all those jerks did was complain... They didn't obey me! "They"? Tari cracked down on any citizens who took issue with its goddess. The people stopped believing in her, and the nation lost its Shares and fell to ruin. Yes, the so-called "Great Crash." Sounds like her own fault. Wrong! They stole my country from me. Now it's my turn to steal! Replenish energy! I feel sorry for you. You didn't have any comrades, did you? You have my sympathy... ...but we can't give you our world! One fragment of a broken world I don't need a second one This next shot will be at max output! Take just the real one, Your smart-alecky little magic can't block it! And show true love! Vert, Noire, Blanc. In a darkness lit up by moonbeams Uni, Rom, Ram, Nepgear. My rock heart stands alone Lend me your power! Play (sing) for the future's sake A string of formless words Your game is to destroy the Pongg Laser, right? And sounds with no right path Think you can get there before it finishes charging? Forge (bonds) that are irreplaceable Just by being here I'll blast you there at the speed of light! I can grow stronger, because I met you Where are you even sending her? When my meager voice Reaches your heart Eat this! It'll take on a brave timbre Ha, I barely felt that! That won't lose to anything This feeling I strum Neptune, please! Hard beat! "My sound," forever Not happening! Ring clear through to the land below! Ain't gonna work, girlies! Go, Neptune! When my meager voice Reaches your heart It'll take on a brave timbre That won't lose to anything Even if it's not full-- "My sound," ring clear through to the world! Sound of heaven! If it starts out solid, it can be cut! You bitch! Fire! Victory Slash! My continent... Give it up. You won't get what you want. Better surrender. Just because you crashed my continent... you think you've won? Just releasing the rest of my energy will blow up at least half the world, easy! I'll give you this much: your hatred is shockingly strong. However... It's still just hatred. Even if we used up all our Share energy... Goddesses--we--would still have the same task. Right, Nepgear? Mm-hmm! Yeah, you just keep on playing "heroes of justice." In hell, that is! Everyone... I'm going too! I'm not out of power. I can at least blow them away... Then I'll rip the world to shreds! No, we can't have that. This world's slated to be mine someday. Excuse me? Who are you? Okay, old lady. Sleep in the murky depths of despair! No... No! My power! We just got the Anticrystals back, chu. You sure this is what you wanted to use them on, old lady? Just a little whim. People drop the "whimsical" affinity at age twenty, tops, chu. Wait! Did you... save us? Don't be ridiculous. I'm your enemy no matter what. Okay. But let me thank you anyway, just this once! Thanks, Boudoir! Wh-Who are you calling "Boudoir"?! Several Months Later Thanks to your help, we've recovered our Shares and today we're able to celebrate the completion of the new Neptower. Are all your Shares back to normal, too? But of course. They were just being siphoned by Tari; It's not like the hearts of the people turned away from me. No problems here, either. I'm glad. All right, let's begin the ceremony. Blanc! You have to tell her! Hey. Neptune. Uh... Look, about, you know... You attacking me, you mean? Sorry. It felt like you'd used the treaty to trick us, so... I flipped out. To be honest, it was kind of fun to go all-out against you after so long. So, I had an idea... Yeah, what? I'll tell you later. It's thanks to your belief that we've completed the new Neptower. Planeptune City is steadily recovering as well. As this country's CPU, I'm grateful to you all. Thank you so much. One last thing: I have an announcement I'd like to make. It's... One moment. Yep, gotta be in this form! Um, so as Planeptune's goddess, I, Neptune, hereby... ...dissolve the friendship treaty! Huh? What? No need for that old thing now, right? We're already real comrades anyway! Right, Noire? Vert? Blanc? I suppose so. Shall I take it that you want to compete fair and square from now on? Huh, you do say cool things once in a while. In that case, how about a little exhibition match? I'll go a few rounds! My breast sings with excitement! Infinite stars scattered all over the world... Aw, wait for me! I'm the main character! Time to start our quest for the ultimate video game! What's the matter, goddess, why so mega giga serious? Uni! Rom, Ram! Hooked! Obsessed! Get you! I do! Love scheme, thermal runaway Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Can't count me out! We're unbeatable! I'm gonna select "new game" with no fear Yeah, unbeatable! Here we go! Way to go! Neptune! Pulse wave, echoing love song I believe my life is about to be chaos again. Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! --Here we go! Good to go! Neptune! Friendship! Love! Bifrost! Even if we're a madhouse, there are bonds here between us Good job my sweetheart See you next week... See you later!

Commie Hear ye, all Gamindustri residents far and wide. We take one giant leap toward a new era today. It brings me great pleasure to be together with you all as we welcome this joyous day. As you all know, this world has been torn by strife over the past few years. Lastation, governed by its CPU, the goddess Black Heart. Lowee, governed by its CPU, the goddess White Heart. Leanbox, governed by its CPU, the goddess Green Heart. And Planeptune, governed by myself, the goddess Purple Heart. Share Energy forms the basis of national power in this world. The four nations competed over it, and sometimes we goddesses ourselves came to blows. But now that will become a thing of the past. The treaty of friendship that shall be signed today will prohibit taking Share Energy by force. From this point onward, the only way to acquire it will be by making one's country a better place, which will lead to worldwide development and progress. We hereby swear to overcome the past and create a world filled with hope. Yahoo! Done and dusted! The difference between your two forms never fails to amaze me, Neptune. That aside, what'd you think of my speech, Noire? Well, it wasn't bad... Though I'm pretty sure Histoire wrote it for you. It sure pisses me off that you got to hog the spotlight. C'mon, Blanc. Don't say that! I regret using rock-paper-scissors to decide the speaker. Why don't you just let it go? Saying that now just makes you sound immature. She's right! After all, we're no longer enemies! We're best buds now, right? A month has already passed since that amazing ceremony. You aren't fulfilling any of your responsibilities as CPU, Neptune! Sonic jump! Fiddlesticks! Are you listening to me? Well, I guess these peaceful days just turned my brain to mush! Neptune, CPUs have all kinds of work— Sis! Tea's ready! Thanks, Nepgear! Wanna go head-to-head? Sure! Not you too, Nepgear! Knock it off! Zoinks! Hey, the manual said not to do that! Don't try this at home, kids! Iffy! Compa! Done with work? Yes. I'm on my way to Nep-Nep's place. Oh, then I'll go with you. Under the right rules and regulations— Take a look at this! At the Share Crystal, not me! What about it? The amount of Share Energy gathered in our country's Share Crystal is currently showing a downward trend. There's still a whole bunch. No need to worry, right? Of course there is! You know where we get Shares from, don't you? Oh... The feelings of trust that the citizens place in the CPU who rules them, right? Indeed. This downward trend shows that our citizens are slowly falling out of love with Neptune! Say what? I don't remember doing anything that'd make them hate me. I don't think you've done anything recently that'd make them love you, either. W-Well... Nepgear's right. We're sorry, Lady Histoire. We just happened to overhear the conversation. I don't mind if it's you two. Not you too, Iffy! Are you gonna take Histy's side as well? But you're different, right, Compa? Look at this, Nep-Nep. Huh? "We don't need goddesses." Ack! In order to make these people understand you, you need to work much harder at your job. She hit my weak point for massive damage! I'm in big trouble! It's this nation that's in big trouble! For one thing, CPUs are supposed to devote all their blood, sweat, and tears to their citizens! That is why you possess the great powers that you do. Man, lectures are the worst. With great power comes great responsibility! How can I get away from here? Oh, right! I'll go learn what it means to be a CPU! Huh? Learn? From whom? Uh... Noire! What?! Lastation's Noire! I don't really get what's happening here, you see. Mind explaining to me why a neighboring country's CPU is sleeping at our Basilicom?! Oh, just pretend I'm not here and carry on with your job. I don't mind. Well,I do! We're so sorry, Noire. Sis! What's the big deal? Aren't you here to learn what it means to be a CPU? Sorry, but I'll have to refuse. I don't intend to extend an olive branch to my enemies. Hey, I'm not your enemy! We signed a treaty of friendship! We're budd— Doesn't change the fact that we're still competing over Share Energy. You're still my enemy. See, you keep saying all these totally uncute things! That's why people say you have no friends! I-Ido have a friend! Really? Who? Where are they from? What do they do? Huh? Uh... Well... I'm done with those documents, Sis. Hey there, Uni. Just put them over there. U-Um... I was quite fast this time, wasn't I? I gave it my all— Guess so. You've reached normal levels now, I suppose. Hey! Is Uni that so-called friend of yours? I don't think you can call your sister a friend. You've got the wrong idea. I have other— Really? That's what you say, but aren't you just a loner? No way! Nepgear... Sorry my sister had to butt in. Nah, it's fine. That's how Sis always is with me. Looks like she won't ever praise me unless I do a better job than she would. We all know that's just not gonna happen, though. Uni... I can't even transform yet. That goes for me, Rom, and Ram too. I-I guess... I'm sure I'll be the first out of the four of us to get the ability to transform. That's the spirit! I'm not gonna lose to you! A text from Rom... Why does she know I'm here in Lastation? I told her. She got really jealous. Nepgear and Uni must be having such a nice time hanging out together. Why can't I go visit another country?! Don't be so selfish. I wanna go hang out with Nepgear and Uni too! I'm trying to work. Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! Hey! Shut yer mouth! I said I was working! You friggin' deaf?! You're such a meanie. Let's go, Rom. Wait, Ram! Sorry about that. Don't worry about it. We'd been fighting each other for a long time. But unlike us, your sisters are so innocent. I wonder if we can be friendlier to each other too. Just because we stopped using force doesn't mean we can become the best of friends overnight. More importantly... Yes, please allow me to continue with my proposal. Whoa! Stop! Get your hands off those documents! What? But being a CPU starts with sorting out documents— Do that at yourown workplace! Tch. You're such a wet blanket. Where do you get off being so condescending?! Um... You've got monster hunting requests from your citizens, right? How about teaching Neptune what it means to be a CPU while we're at it? Oh, she wouldn't need to lay a finger on any of the documents that way. I suppose you're right. This looks good. It's nice and close to the border, too. Does that mean you're telling us to go back to Planeptune after we're done? Well duh. I can't work with you around. All right, everyone! Time to go monster hunting! Yeah! Wait, why are you acting like the leader?! We need to go monster hunting in two places. The Nursune Plains and the Trune Caves nearby. Both of them should be pretty easy to hand— Sis. What? Nobody's listening. Gosh, I'm pooped! You okay, Compa? Is this the famous "you can't read what it says from the back" sign?! Sis... That's how most signs work. Hey! We're behind schedule. You take this way too seriously, Noire! Problem? Don't you ever get tired of it? It's no big deal. I want to create a much,much better nation. Well, so do I, but I'd much rather have fun doing it. You have too much fun doing this! She came! Ah, my goddess! It's Black Heart! Oh no! Access! What?! You're gonna transformnow?! Rule number two of being a CPU: let your people bear full witness to your majesty. Could you all give me some information about the monsters, please? You just transformed in front of them. What's so majestic about that? So this is the Nursune Plains, huh? Yes. A mass outbreak of Dogoos here is causing a lot of problems. Understood. It seems Neptune and Nepgear, our neighbors from Planeptune, will eliminate them for us. Zoinks! That came out of nowhere! We're supposed to do this? Rule number 3: show off at every opportunity. I'll take some pictures so you can use them as PR. This is such a pain. Though, well, these Dogoos are easy as pie to deal with. Let's do this! Nepgear! Okay, Sis! I was not born To be a puppet on a string I embrace these irreplaceable feelings and keep them safe Way to go, Nepgear! In these radiant lands heading toward an age of reform That's my sis! Thanks! I picture the world of my dreams And let it ride the first rays of sunshine Chest! I'm gonna give it all I've got! I hear from far away A faint voice that calls my name And burns itself into my memories There are way too many of them. Everyone wanders forever We should help, Iffy! In search of an answer Right. Letting their faint yet violent Iffy! Compa! Flame of life burn away Here I come! Their eyes speak of their desires And shine a ray of light in the darkness Too good for them! So I reach out to the future We've basically won alread— It may be a thorny road, but I have nothing to fear Because you're there with me Sis, we should help out— Nope. The point is for them to deal with this themselves. Where do you think you're touching?! Everyone wanders forever Eww, majorly gross! In search of an answer Hey, stay out of there! Letting their faint yet violent Flame of life burn away This tickles! I'm gonna die! Their eyes speak of their desires And shine a ray of light in the darkness I...can't... So I reach out to the future It may be a thorny road but I have nothing to fear Because you're there with me I'm gonna send your souls all the way back to Hell! Spectral Edge! Neptune... Quit slacking. I don't even wanna look at jelly or meat buns for a while. Why didn't you activate your HDD form? Those Dogoos would have been easy pickings if you'd transformed! Well, all's well that ends well, right? You just had other people do your job for you! That's why your Share— Fine, be as lazy as you want. I'll handle the rest myself. Show me the way to the Trune Caves. Y-Yes, ma'am. I'll go with you. No, that won't be necessary. Stay here and help these guys recover. 'Kay. This way. Thanks. Noire's so short-tempered. Oh, Uni! Did you take any cool pics? Wow! Super cute! They're going straight to my email address! Begone! A dead end, huh? Guess I'm done here. An Ancient Dragon?! Quite the strong one, aren't we? Take this! Hey there! You... Why'd you go back to normal? I'm not sure. It happened really suddenly— Neptune! Noire. You're supposed to transform at times like these. Pay close attention! Behold the power of a goddess! Stop trying to act cool! Thanks. Leave this one to me. Cross Combo! I-I didn't need your help! I would've been fine by myself. I'm sure. But helping each other is what friends do. It's not like I consider you a friend— Why'd you choose this area? Because I wanted you to leave— Because you figured rumors would spread across the border and Planeptune would hear about my valiant efforts? That way, I could replenish some of my Share Energy. Thank you, Noire. But we also gotta let everyone know about the goddess who almost got her butt kicked! What?! Keep that a secret! Listen to this, guys! Hey! Noire lost! Neptune! We're friends, right?! Hey! Black Heart and Purple Heart killed the monsters with a hyper magic combo! Hooray! Hooray! That story gets crazier every time... Why did my transformation revert? Oh, so they purged all the monsters in the caves for us? Now we can look for you-know-what without having eyes on the back of our heads. Amazing! I'd expect nothing less from Noire. Zoinks! You mean "Neptune," right? I'm still not convinced you're behind all this. That's harsh, Histy! What's wrong, Nepgear? Someone put up some really weird pictures of me online. Huh? Those are all the pictures I sent to my email address! You're so cute, Nepgear! This is so embarrassing! Are you sure you sent it to the right address? Of course I did— Oops. I sent it to the address of a public mailing list... I knew it. But the response seems pretty positive! "Visual shock"? "It hit just the right spot"! "Planeptune's still got a lot left in the tank." Wow, people love it! Huh? Don't tell me the reason our Share Energy went up so suddenly... ...was because of these pictures?! You're amazing, Nepgear! R-Really? Then if we spread these things around even more... Huh? Do it for our Shares, Nepgear. For the Shares! Hey, hold on, Sis! I'm worried about where this country is headed in more ways than one. I'll post it all over the place! Stop! Under the right rules and regulations— Wh-What is this? It's an explosion of art! Ga-thunk! I'll be saving little girls all over the world again today! Wow, what a picturesque town! I've always wanted to visit Lowee. I had an inkling you felt that way. Rom and Ram told me to come visit. Apparently Blanc doesn't let them leave the country. Yeah, Blanc can be a real party pooper sometimes. Someone should tell her she'll end up as a loner like Noire if she keeps that up. Hello? Did you forget I was right here? Wait! Who are you calling a loner?! My bad! But hey, someone laying it on you straight like that might give you the little push you need to change yourself! Big words coming from Goddess Lazybones herself! Maybe it was a mistake to come here after all. She fell for it! It worked... Rom, Ram! What do you think you're doing? Run for it! Wait! Are you certain about this? Putting this plan into action will bring revolution to this world. Hold it right there! I'm aware. Help! We definitely need to keep this under wraps until we begin. Rom! Ram! Run for it! You lot... How many times do I gotta tell ya to keep it down when I'm tryin' to work?! I-I'm so sorry! Sis... Lookie look! Huh? What the...?! It's you! Ram and I drew it! My precious book... You two are dead! Look, the drawing came to life! Hold it right there! Run for it! Nepgear! Uni! You came! Yup! We came to play! Heyo, Blanc! I came for you! Teehee. So, like... yeah! We heard Lowee had this brand spanking new amusement park, so we all decided to come and take a look-see! Histoire contacted me and said she wanted me to teach you what it meant to be a CPU, though. Aw, don't bother your pretty head with that! It was all in one ear and out the other last time, y'know? Well, excuse me. I've heard about the amusement park too. Wouldn't it be fun if we all went there together? Super Nitten Land?! I wanna go! Take us there! I can't wait! Could you take my sisters along? What about you? Sis... Aren't you coming? I... can't. What? More work? Why don't you just quit already? The wise men of the past once said, "Only fools and horses work." I don't think those men were all that wise. Either way, I can't go. Wait for me, Ram! Put on your coats, you two! You're forgetting the tickets, Nepgear! Nepgear! Uni! Where'd you go? Here! Right here! A Dogoo coin! This one's got a Kupocat! Ah, it's just a Tertis block. And this one's a Tesrit. Lame! I'll take some! Other nations' CPUs have come all the way, you know. Blanc should've come along. I seriously don't understand what goes through her head. Indeed. What she needs is a little maturity. Like me. Oh yeah, why are you here— Zoinks! This turtle's after my peaches! Nooo! Someone help! Zoinks! Look, Rom! It's a Guardragon coin! A rare item! That one too. Oh, and that one too! They're all Guardragons! But, uh, I think I've had enough. Let's take some back for Sis. Why bother? Not like she bothered coming. Yeah, but... Fine. Let's take a whole lot back for Sis. Okay! Yay! Lick! Huh? What's up, Nepgear? Where did Rom and Ram run off to? I saw them go that way earlier. Rom? Ram? Ah-kekekekeke! Rom! Ram! What's the meaning of this?! Post-pubescent hags need not apply! Looks like it went off without a hitch, Trick. Our delicious banquet of fun has only just begun! Rom... Ram! I'm extremely sorry. Blanc gave me specific orders not to allow anyone through. What's the big deal? We're all buddy-buddy CPUs, right? I can't. I'm sorry. At least let us apologize! It's our fault Rom and Ram got kidnapped! We've already mobilized the guard and sent them out to look for them. We know that! Leave. You guys are always causing trouble. Rom... Ram... It's all my fault. I'm your sister... If only I'd been more responsible... I've gotta do something. Anything. Oh, yeah. That— Ga-thunk! Found you! Who're you? I'm Abnes! Ally of little girls everywhere! I'm the anchor of Abnes Channel, a super-hit web show. Don't you recognize me? Come now, let's get this broadcast started! Broadcast? Hello to all our viewers across the world! This is Abnes, idol to little girls everywhere! Today, we're here to visit Blanc, Lowee's little girl CPU! Hey, knock it the hell off before I— By the way, is it true that Rom and Ram, your little sisters, got kidnapped? How'd you know? It is true! I'm so worried! So, Blanc, how does it feel to have your precious little sisters snatched away from you? Good heavens, that Blanc. This is an emergency! Why does she have to keep up that stubborn facade? Yeah, that's supposed to be your shtick, Noire. Excuse me?! Um, ladies... In truth— Sis, what's going on up there? Well then, Blanc, are you saying it's all your fault your sisters got kidnapped? Well... Get a load of this! The little girl CPU can't say anything at all in her own defense! Little girls just aren't cut out to rule a nation, after all. They should be living carefree lives full of fun and games! Abnes Channel stands wholly opposed to little girls playing CPU! Hey! What's going on here?! Who are you? I'm Neptune! Planeptune's CPU! You're a CPU too? I guess you technically look old enough to be a teenager, but your body's too underdeveloped! You're a little girl! Certified! Wha? Did I really just get certified as a little girl by an even littler girl? Huh? In what way am I a little girl? It takes one to know one, you know! So that means you are a little girl! You're the one who's calling people little girls left and right! Did you just call me a little girl again?! Hold it right there! I'll let you off the hook for today, little girl CPU! Say what, pintsize?! Yeah, get outta here, little girl! Your face makes me wanna hurl! What in Gamindustri was that? I wonder how they got in. Blanc! Pull yourself together! I-I'll go get help! What's wrong? What if lots of Lowee's residents saw that broadcast just now? Maybe it caused her Shares to crash or something. Oh, yeah. CPUs can't use much energy when their Share reserves are low. I don't think this has anything to do with Shares. Public opinion can't be swayed that quickly. Then... Ladies. There's still something we can do. I know how we can find Rom and Ram. Blanc and I were trying to put a certain plan into action. You're aware Lowee used to offer a satellite imagery service, yes? If I remember correctly, it was called Terra View, wasn't it? The one that was closed down around a decade ago, right? Yes. That satellite's still functioning, actually. It can still take and send pictures of the surface. They're pretty low-resolution, though. Leanbox's research institute developed software that could analyze the data and produce images of a much higher resolution. Wow. Your country's crazy advanced! And so I made Blanc an offer. I said we'd let her have this software if she provided us with photographic data of Lowee. What? That means that you two would have data on the whole world to yourselves! Huh? Having you peeking at us all day would be no fun at all! No, we were thinking of sharing this information with everyone. It was Blanc's idea. "We signed a treaty of friendship, so all four nations should have equal access." Really? So we were looking for a good opportunity to announce it. A bit like a surprise present. Pretty nice, eh? Analysis complete. Time to find out where the kidnapper's hiding. Oh my. Is this... Lickety lickety lick... No! Rom? The little girls awaken! It's happening! Can I lick you two all over? What do you think you're doing to Rom?! Stop it! N-No! Stop! Trick! I called them and delivered our ransom demands. Wait, what are you doing?! Healing them, of course! My saliva is a miraculous panacea that cures any ill! Th-That so? I'll have you two feeling better lickety-split! Who would've thought they'd be hiding within a ride that was under construction? All right, time to crash this party! Hold on. What's up? In situations like these, you need to make sure the hostages are safe first. No! Stop! Let us go! That's quite enough! Sis? Who's that? Another delicious young morsel? Vert! Let those girls go. I'll take their place! Huh? I'm a gentleman, you know. I only like little girls. I've no interest in those cancerous growths on your chest. Wh-What's wrong with being well-endowed? All I can see is how much they'll sag one day. Looks like you've managed to anger me. Y-You're a CPU?! Green Heart, transformation complete. Oh, shit! Screw the ransom, our lives are in danger here! Kekekeke! Did you seriously think you had me licked? We'll see about that. Have a taste of this Drill Lance! Rainy Ratnapura! Nooo! That was easy. Oh? Where are Rom and Ram? Crud, CPUs! Sis! She was in on it too! Got it. How dare you think you can make a fool out of us? Oh, that was just Trick. Also, we only carried out this whole kidnapping deal because some weird woman put us up to it. Hm? Sounds like just the kind of thing an underling would say. Y-Yeah! I'm just a plain ol' underling. So, I'll be taking my leave now. Did you think it'd be that easy?! Lace Ribbon Dance! Not happening, huh? I'll keep these little girls safe, even if it should cost me my life! That is my duty as a gentleman! Where are you, my delicate flower buds? What spirit! Little girls really are the best! Lickety lickety lick! Get your filthy tongue off my precious little sisters. You'll pay for this, ya frickin' pedo. Pedo? My, you flatter me! Oh, really? Then let me flatten you as well. I hope you're ready, ya stinkin' pedo! You damn deviant! Sleazebag! Tanzerin Trombe! Little girls forever! You picked a fight with a goddess. Don't come crying to me later. Rom. Ram. Sorry for putting you through this. I'm a failure as a sister. Sis! We brought you these. Guardragon coins! Get out here, kidnapper! I'll smash you all the way to Planeptune! Sis... Emergency Exit Maybe it's all over already. Whaat?! Lack of sleep? Yeah. That's why I lost consciousness, and why I didn't go out with you. What the heck? I've been pulling all-nighters for a while now, so I was in no state to face you guys. And yet you saved Rom and Ram. Thank you so much. Vert. Noire. You too, Neptune. Thanks for sticking up for me during that broadcast. Oh, it was no big deal! I just did what anyone would do— chased that annoying brat away! Look, Sis. That's nice. Ram! Stop doodling on those things! You've got so many copies of the same book. Doesn't matter if we draw on a few, right? It does matter! How? W-Well... That's the story I spent night after night working on! So... They're fanzines, basically? What? What's it's about, Uni? Apparently, there's a girl who fell from the sky and a boy born with a special power, and they save the world together. Oh, so you're supposed to read this as "destiny"? Don't read it at all! Amazing! The protagonist awakened to a new power! That's so cool! Stop reading it! I've gotta do something. Anything. Oh, yeah. That— Ga-thunk! Found you! Oops. Wrong room. Hey! Help us! Shine! I dream of stars (Let's find them) I'm over the limit I know I'll keep surpassing myself I won't lose to anyone Purple is the land and blue the sky Wow! You wouldn't expect anything less from 5pb, Leanbox's diva, would you? (Green leaves are in the air) Indeed! I want to gaze at it with you once more (Forevermore) Your tenderness, your warmth (I want to feel it) You might be far away now, but we will meet again Shine! I dream of stars (Let's find them) I'm over the limit My love will not waver (Gracie☆Star) Comets circle the world (They are bifrost) I know I can cross the barrier they are I won't lose to anyone I don't care if it's a concert or whatever, but you're being way too noisy! Put yourself in the shoes of those who have to work in this racket. First things first, I'd like to know why a mouse has to go underwater. "Sea mouse" means something else entirely! It refers to a worm! Found it! Thank you all! Next up: Dimension tripper!!!! It's all well and good that she invited us to the concert, but what's with Vert not showing up herself? I'm sure she has her reasons. Well? Which one is Vert's room? Hey, it's unlocked! What... ...happened here? It almost looks like this room was broken into. I think it's more likely that it just hasn't been cleaned up. Oh, this is a game that can only be bought by those over eighteen years of age! Hey, stop that! We've got little girls here! What are the rear guard doing?! I'll back them up. You all carry on without me. Jeez! Oh, here she is! That was quick! You could've said something! What are you doing, Vert? Hey! Not there! She's clearly playing an online game. Four Goddesses Online? Hey! Sorry to see you couldn't make it! Oh my. Welcome, ladies. Sorry, I'm a little tied up right now. Hold it! Why'd you ditch us to play games?! I thought I'd just play for an hour before leaving, but my faction ended up laying siege to the enemy. I couldn't just up and leave like that. I thought you were going to throw a party for us here after the concert. We're right about to topple their castle, so if you could wait just a little bit longer... I never knew she was like this. Well, hobbies vary from person to person. Wow, what a goddess-for-nothing! She might be even worse than me! Not a chance. Zoinks! They're in perfect sync! What now? Looks like we'll be waiting a bit longer. Let's see... All right! Let's get everything ready! What? Why do we have to? Quit whining. We've come all the way to Leanbox, so let's make it a party worth the trip. First off: Nepgear, IF, and Compa, go shopping for ingredients! O-Okay! Everyone else can help clean up the room. Begin at once! There she goes again. She just turns into a total bossypants sometimes. It's like some weird switch in her brain. Quiet! Get to work! Looks like Ge-Ge and Iffy aren't here yet. I'd better hurry, or the old hag will yell at me 'til the mice come home. That hurt! Wh-What? Is it that amusing to see a mouse trip and fall? I'm so glad you're okay! You look a little bruised, though. I'll put this on for you, 'kay? I'll put this on for you, 'kay? I'll put this on for you, 'kay? There! All better! Be careful, okay, Mister Mouse? O-Okay. I'll take my leave, then. W-Wait! What is it? What is it? What is it? Um... Could I have your name, please? It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa! It's Compa! C-Compa... Such a sweet name. Ge-Ge? Get your hands off that thing! What's wrong, Ge-Ge? I don't know. It's like all my strength just left me. Could it be anemia? But I've never heard of a goddess suffering from anemia. That was close. Never thought I'd run into one of the CPU Candidates. That aside, Compa's an angel. A total angel! Hnng! Ladies, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Welcome to my party! Actually, Vert, you didn't do shit. Let's not do this. You're wasting your breath. I heard you had a dizzy spell earlier. Yes, but I'm all right now. Come now, ladies. Let us eat, drink, and make merry! I've prepared an extraordinary game for us today! What is it? Tell me! I'm sure showing it to you would be quicker than explaining. Neptune and Noire, could you step back for a bit, please? Roger! Huh? What's going on? Give us a splendid fight, you two. Wow! Oh no! Nep-Nep! Zoinks! I've turned into a Dogoo! I-Is this supposed to be me? This special camera captures your movements and projects them out in 3D. Pretty amazing technology, don't you think? So, you want me to fight Noire like this? Hey, you stinking Noigoo! I'll send you flying all the way to Planeptune! Wh-What the heck's a Noigoo? Yay! I scored some points! Now I'm mad! You'd better prepare yourself, Nepgoone! Look at you, you sucky Noigoo! By the way, there's also a more realistic combat simulation mode which you can use for combat training. Amazing! That sounds fun. I wanna play too! Of course! Please, enjoy yourselves! You're late! Do you mean to ruin our entire plan?! I rushed here as fast as I could, you know. It's your fault for making such a tight schedule, hag! How many times must I tell you to cease addressing me, your superior, in such a way? W-Well, whatever. I can't allow mere mice to perturb me. Hand you-know-what over already! Gotcha. Now we have four. Tonight, the rules of this game they call their world will be turned upside down. Over my dead body! What is it? We're in the middle of a party here. Vert, actually... Yikes. We're done already? What's wrong, Vert? Well, there's a waste disposal plant in the Zune district. I hear a large amount of monsters showed up there. The Zune district... It's a small island, isn't it? They say it adjoins land during ebb tide, and only then. Why are monsters such a big deal? They show up all over, right? It's an area under this nation's rule, so this shouldn't be happening. But it would appear that it is. I'll be going there now. Let me tag along! This is a problem for my own country to deal with. C'mon, fate must have brought us here today! Let us help. Doing the whole "we're all friends because we signed a treaty" thing again, are we? You got that right! I'll help too. I owe you one after you helped us during the kidnapping incident, after all. Okay, then! The three of us— I-I'm coming too! Who knows how long you three would keep us waiting otherwise. Ladies... Very well. Let the four of us go— Um! I'll come too! M-Me too! Me three! Me four! You girls should stay back. This isn't a game. What? You need to stay here and keep watch, Uni. You can't even transform yet, after all. Nepgear! Leave this to your trusty ol' sis. I gotta show off once in a while! Okay. So, on that note, it's morphin' time! Let's be on our way, ladies. I'm amazed you were able to scrape so much trash together. I had to. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to lure all the CPUs here at once. Get over here already. Are you okay, Nepgear? Y-Yeah... I'm fine, but I'm kinda worried about Sis. Is your sister not that strong? Nah, it's not like that. She's really strong when she gets serious. I'm so weak, but she always keeps me safe. But... I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about tonight. A bad feeling? Okay, I got it. Thanks, Otome. Seems like I was right all along. Did you figure something out? The mouse at the shopping mall looked familiar, so I asked a friend in the intelligence bureau to look into it for me. And unsurprisingly, he was on every country's blacklist. He's on the list of most wanted people— Or should I say, most wanted mice. Huh? Mister Mouse is a bad guy? That makes me sad. That's not all. I also found out that he was spotted boarding a boat for the Zune district a few hours ago. Doesn't that mean... It's just guesswork at this point, but somebody probably arranged for those monsters to appear at the waste processing plant. If I leave now, I can still make it by ebb tide. I'm gonna go check things out. Me too. Take me with you! No way. I can't put you in danger too. But I'm really worried! Please, IF! Land ahoy. Ugh, look at 'em swarming over it like flies. There's lots of them, but they look easy enough to handle. But it'd spell big trouble if they somehow managed to make it to the city. We should hurry up and— These fatasses are the big hitters, eh? Can't complain about our enemies here, can we? Let's take down one each! Race you for it! I ain't gonna let you one-up me! Wait, you three! Basic battle theory says we should team up and take down one at a time! More like basic cowards' theory. Good heavens. They always get so headstrong when they've activated HDD. Well, I'm no exception! Listen up, Nepgear. Whatever happens, don't try the impossible. We'll retreat the moment we sense any danger. Okay. Thank you, IF. Lace Ribbon Dance! I win. Tanzerin Trombe! Damn, I'm second? Looks like those two aren't done yet. Rainy Ratnapura! Cross Combo! I suppose those two are tied? That also means they both finished dead last. I was just a little bit faster. If you say so. I was last— Noire! Blanc! Wh-What is this?! Don't fuck with me! Makes my skin crawl! I should just... I guess it's about time. Is that the one behind this? Goddesses, fall into my sanctuary! Th-This light... I'm losing strength. How? It's that rock. We just need to destroy it! Anything that depends on Share Energy as the source of its power cannot come into contact with that rock. Be it a weapon, or even a goddess. What is that supposed to mean? That rock is called an Anti-Crystal. It's a stone that severs the link between you and your Share Crystals, robbing you of your powers and abilities. Anti-Crystal? Oh, these are some real Kodak moments. These pictures are gonna cause quite the commotion around the world. Goddammit! You're not gonna get away with this! I'll beat you black and blue! I do wonder how you'll manage that. Goddesses inside an Anti-Crystal field will continue to lose their strength and energy. Just hang around and watch your chances of victory go down the drain! Sure is quiet here. Maybe they're done exterminating the monsters already? Nope, they're still around. Where are Neptune and the rest? IF! Look at that! Sis... Nep Station! Today, we're comin' at you straight from the studio! Here's today's special guest! I'm 5pb. Please buy a copy of my new single, Dimension tripper!!!! This isn't stealth marketing! Just blatant old-fashioned marketing! I'm losing strength. Goddesses inside an Anti-Crystal field will continue to lose their strength and energy. Who are you? My name is Arfoire. I'll be the one to bring joyous tidings of chaos to this world ruled by you four young ladies. And I'm Pirachu. The third-most popular mascot in mouse society. Mouse... Don't steal my spotlight! Listen to yourself. I was the one who dug up the Anti-Crystals from the Lastation caves and the Leanbox seafloor. And it was my discovery of the first crystal in a Planeptune forest that set everything in motion. Not to mention, did I not carry out the unenviable task of stealing one from Lowee's Basilicom? Lowee's Basilicom? Blanc, did you know about that rock... Yeah, I did. I had it under tighter security than Fort Knox, but after the kidnapping incident, it was nowhere to be found. If you'd just told us about it... How was I meant to know there were so many of 'em? The caves? Don't tell me... What's wrong, Noire?! Zoinks! My transformation... I believe I told you that as long as you stayed in that field, you'd continue to lose your strength and energy. How could this be? Sis... Sis! Nepgear? Get back on, Nepgear. But Sis... Nepgear! Right now, we have to get out of here! That one's getting away. It matters not. She's a mere CPU Candidate who can't even transform yet. What's this all about, IF? I'm not exactly sure, but they mentioned an "anti-crystal" or something. That's probably what's sealing the goddesses' powers. "Anti-Crystal"? Could you look into it for us, Histoire? Certainly, but it'll take me three days. As soon as possible, please. I'll see what I can do. Anyway, Nepgear and the gang should return to Planeptune. I believe it'd be better for Uni and the others to go back home too. Good bye. Well, you heard her— Hang on! Do you seriously expect us to just go home because she says so? Give us a proper explanation! Usually, Sis would knock baddies out in one blow! Is Sis gonna die? I-I'm sure she'll be fine. Goddesses don't go down that easily— But... I heard something about "sealing their powers" earlier. I'm sorry. It's not your fault, Ge-Ge. No. That rock I picked up back when we went shopping... Surely that had to be an Anti-Crystal. Let's not do this. Hindsight is 20/20. Why? If only I'd thought more carefully about why I felt dizzy back then... If only I'd told Sis and the others about it... You idiot! My sister is really, really strong, but because of you, she's... You should've taken her place instead! Aww, jeez. I'm bored outta my skull! I wanna play some games! What is wrong with you? We're captives, you know. But I wish I could at least use Four Goddesses Online's chat system. I'm supposed to be meeting my fellow guild members. Not you too. Well, it's good to see you're still the same as ever. Okay! Let's go out on a limb and make some demands! Hey! I know you're there! Bar Whore! Who're you calling a bar whore?! Uh... CFW Magic? That's someone else entirely! Okay then, Arfaemon! Gimme something to kill some time with. I'm gonna die of boredom otherwise! Either way, your lives are headed toward their end. Huh? She didn't object to that one. Can I just call her Arfaemon from now on? I don't care! Hey, you listenin' to me?! Someone's sentencing you to death here, you know. What? Come again? Take a look beneath you. Zoinks! What the hell is this? It's creepy. Is this another effect of the Anti-Crystals? Soon, you will begin to suffer, and eventually, you will die. Enjoy what little time you have left. Nepgear. Come on! I know. Uni. Let's make up. I went too far. I'm sorry. Don't be. I know. I know! It's not your fault, I know! Yeah. And I know how you feel. I thought there couldn't be anyone stronger than my sister. That everything would be fine as long as she was around. I'm the same. I can't do anything without my sister either. Even now, I have no idea what to do— It's simple! We just need to rescue them! I want to save them too. But we can't transform... Then we just need to change that! Let's learn how to do it. Can we? Sis said something about how I can't transform because I'm subconsciously limiting myself. Limiting myself... Like, the things we're scared about are holding us back. I'm scared of monsters. Yup, me too. Then let's train until we're not scared of them anymore! Sounds good! Yeah. Uni? Rom! Ram! Your ride's here— Owwie. This hurts quite a lot! You okay, Compa? I'm perfectly fine! This is training! Huh? This is Vert's game, isn't it? We figured we'd get some combat training done. Remember how she said there was a combat simulation mode? I took on the role of the enemy. If this can help Ge-Ge and the gang transform, I'll be super glad! Transform? We all decided to go save our sisters! That's why we want to get stronger. Hold on, Nepgear. We're up against someone who already captured the goddesses! Even so, I believe we have to do this. We've inherited the goddesses' power, too. I had a feeling this would happen. But you're not a good foil, Compa. I'll do it. Iffy. Relax. It's fine. Let's do this. Ga-thunk! Ga-thunk! Found you! Huh? Hey! Aren't you done uploading the pictures yet? Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd have to use an analog connection. Not to mention, the modem we found in the trash was a 56k one. I'm about to cry here. You were fully aware there was no cellphone reception in this area! Mistakes made in the field are an employer's responsibility. Anyway, get on with it. Tell the modem to get on with it. Oh? I see it's just the Candidates here. None of the CPUs are around, huh? I knew it! Something went down, didn't it? Uh... If I'm not mistaken, you're Abnes, right? Hey, we're busy! Do not disturb! Who's she? The little girl lover who they say got Neppy mad back at Lowee. Abnes... We don't really have time right now— Shaddup! Ex-little girls who've grown all half-assed are trash! Now that the goddesses aren't around, this is my chance to let Rom and Ram go back to being normal little girls. Nice idea, even if I do say so myself. Or should I say, "a flash of inspiration"? Come now, little girls. Let us hold hands and play! Um, we don't wanna hold hands. We wanna play that instead. That? Please! Well, if you insist. S-Say, little girl. Are you really okay with this? Why don't we play something a little more girly? Charge, girls! Take that! Hold on a second! Iffy, apparently you can fight AI characters too. Wait! All right, let's do this! I knew it. I'm sorry! Nearly every game has that mode. Wanna tell them about it? I'm sorry! Why don't we... save it for later? They look like they're having fun. Never give up... on little girls! This is the end! Wow! They gave that Ancient Dragon a good beating! Ow! That hurts, you quack nurse! I'm sorry. We killed quite a lot of monsters, but it's not helping us transform. Yep. But if we kill a lot more... Looks like we don't have time for that anymore. News of the four goddesses' capture will soon spread like wildfire. The goddesses got captured?! That leaves the little girls wide open— You need some rest! If the public saw these pictures, it might lead to a Share crash. And if that happens... ...we'll receive less power from the Share Crystals. That means we need to save our sisters before this gets in the way! Yep. It's accumulated quite a lot. What'll happen to us when we get swallowed by that? I should've looked into some counter-measures. But I only thought about keeping it as far from me as possible. Chin up, gals! We're fine right now, and there's still hope for us! I don't usually mind your optimism, but it gets really annoying at times like these. You're trying to escape from reality. I'm just saying, it's better than thinking we're doomed. False hope never did anyone any good. I don't think it's false hope at all. You what? Huh? Have you forgotten about your sisters? Uni? She's never even fought without me by her side. Rom and Ram are still at an age where I have to keep them safe, too. Nepgear seems level-headed, but she's quite spoiled. I think it'd be too much for her. Isn't that just your ego at play? Sure, they're extremely lovely girls. I'd love for them to forever stay the way they are too. But those thoughts might be what's letting them stay as "precious little sisters who can't transform". Do you not feel that way? They're here. As expected, the CPU Candidate came back with friends. Hmph. What can they do? They probably can't even reach this place. Don't you agree? They still can't transform, yet... It doesn't matter if the goddesses fail. People will come to terms with it if their sisters give it their all. That'll reduce the damage done to the Shares. You're right, but... Also, I want to believe in them too. I want to believe they can do it. Iffy... Ready, girls? You'd best prepare yourselves! I'll keep you safe, Ram! Okay! And I'll take care of the rest! Hit! Pain, pain, fly away! Outta my way! Nepgear! Ram! Rom! Rom! Ram! Regroup! Uni... Behind you! I refuse to lose! Get away! Stay away from me! What have I done? I was mistaken. It was too early for us to go into battle! Iffy, they're all gonna be killed! Everyone will die because of me! I know! I can't do a thing! Help me, Sis! I'm relying on Sis again. But I... really do need Sis by my side! Sis said something about how I can't transform because I'm subconsciously limiting myself. Limiting... Like, the things we're scared about are holding us back. What I'm scared about is... losing Sis. No longer being Sis's kid sister. No, that's not it. I'm scared of becoming stronger than her! Iffy! Look at Ge-Ge! I wanted to keep looking up to her forever, but if this is what it takes to bring her back... I'll become stronger than anyone else in the world! Nepgear! Nepgear. Amazing! I cannot retreat here. So... I gotta do this! Looks like we don't have time for that anymore. Huh? No, wait, this doesn't count! Let's have a do-over! It's just, Compa sort of happened to say I could stay over, and I wouldn't have taken this except I woke up at midnight and— Mirage Dance! Gotta hang in there! All those trash monsters got cleaned up, you say? These girls are surprisingly good. Well, good timing. I was just starting to feel a little bored. I realized that I wanted to be protected by Sis forever. So I was fine being weak. That's what I was thinking. But when I wished to change— when I wished to become stronger... You managed to transform? That doesn't help me at all. I've never once thought that I was fine being weak. I-I suppose... Okay. We're nearly there. Sis! Nepgear! Sis! Sis! Rom... Ram... Uni... I see you managed to transform, Nepgear. Yup! I'll save you right away. I wouldn't be so sure. Good job making it this far, Candidates. My name is Arfoire. I'll be the one to bring joyous tidings of chaos to this world ruled by those four young ladies— Compa! How I've missed you! Huh? Oh, hi. Hey! Don't interrupt me! Why would you do this? What are you after? Allow me to educate you. What I seek is a new system that doesn't need CPUs— a world where anyone can become a ruler. You just want to rule the world yourself! If someone stronger than me shows up, they're free to knock me off my throne. That's how a world of equality works. Am I wrong? Stop trying to pretty up your own ambitions! You're just envious of the goddesses' powers! There may have been a time when I felt that way, but not any longer. Because... I myself possess the power of a goddess! She transformed? But she's not a CPU! Cross Combo! No way! That's my ultimate skill! How can you use that move? I have the ability to copy others. And now I've even made the goddesses' techniques my own! No way! That's impossible! I made it possible! Tanzerin Trombe! Stop it! Don't be mean to Nepgear! Go suck on a pacifier or something, pipsqueak. I... hate her. Yeah, me too. You and I... Let's beat her up! Rom... Ram... You won't get away with this! Better prepare yourself! Huh? Well, what can two transforming toddlers do? Ice Coffin! Yay! Lace Ribbon Dance! Rom! Ram! Now it's my turn. I'm the only one who can't transform. And Sis is watching all this, too. Why do I keep worrying about her? Right now, I need to... Hit. Hit! Hit, dammit! Uni... All right! That's it, Uni. Focus on your target. I see it! EX Multi Blaster! No doubt. Only resolve! Uni! That's so cool! H-Huh? I transformed. You did it, Uni! Way to go! B-But of course! A hero always arrives fashionably late! Yup. You're right! Uni. Bravo, ladies. What's happening? Wh-What's going on? Right on time, I guess? Do me a favor, Compa. Talk to that mouse. What should I say? Let's see... Something like, uh... Time for me to leave. U-Um... Mister Mouse. Uh, wanna have a nice, long chat? Over there? Huh? Boing?! A nice, boing chat, you say? Yes! C-C-Compa! I'm freezing. I've already stopped feeling anything. What?! Yeah, I'm starting to feel numb. We need to do something before our bodies go into arrest! Neppy! Iffy! I've got a message from Histoire. O-Okay. I have bad news, girls. Anti-Crystals sever the link between you and your Share Crystals, but that's not all. It also has the ability to convert Share Energy into something called Anti-Energy. And it is said that concentrated Anti-Energy can take goddesses' lives. So what can we do?! As of now, we don't know how to counter it. If I had three days— Vert! N-Neptune... No! Noire! Huh? Sis? Let me help too! Compa... Sadly, you're wasting your energy. What the heck is that? I-I don't know! That's how Anti-Energy kills goddesses. Rainy Ratnapura! No... Nep... tune... No— S-Sis? Nooooo! Where... am I? Am I... dead? Nah, I'm not. But... why? Share Energy shouldn't be able to reach me in here. So warm. I see. So that's how it is. We are... Your precious sisters are no more! Everything you did came too late. But don't let it get you down. You'll be joining them soon enough! In the dark abyss of despair, that is! Sis... They're all... Sis... What? They're all still fighting. And we... ...refuse... ...to lose! We're gonna take you down, putting everything we have on the line, body and soul! What is this? The Share Energy's resonating? Look at how... ...it's sparkling! My Anti-Energy... My miracle is being negated! You're not getting away! Begone! Sis? Where are you? Hey... Sis! Right here, Nepgear. Sis! I missed you so much! Thank goodness! Stop wailing like babies. Sorry I made you worry. Sorry I took so long, Sis. What're you apologizing for? Look at how you've grown. Thanks. Sis. Sis! You see... I... I... You did well, Nepgear. From now on, I'll always be with you. Sis! Vert. That must've been hard. Thank you. Good heavens. You're only getting her for today, okay, Vert? Good thing I prepared for this and made myself a loophole. You should thank your lucky stars I'm such a capable mouse. Why would you save me? You were under no obligation to. Villains have their own brand of friendship, you know. I have to say, though. You're like a sack of potatoes, you old hag! You could stand to cut down on those curves, you know. Hmph. I'll have you know my naked body's something else. Too much information! The Share Crystal's shining like blazes! Sure is! Looks like it hasn't changed much from before. I was worried too, but our Shares didn't go down all that much. For real?! Must be 'cause I'm such a wonderful person! Actually, I think it's more that people had low expectations of you to begin with. Either way, all's well that ends well! However, we're still facing a gradual downward trend. Let's forget about that for now. Not happening! I'll have you work your stripy socks off, starting today. What?! I'd rather get tangled up in slippery-slimy tentacles! So... What about the other nations' shares? Oh, they did go down a bit, as expected. But Vert launched that VR interface for the general public. I hear she got a lot of support that way. And over at Lowee, their Blanc Steamed Buns are selling like hotcakes. Finally, Noire and Uni went monster hunting all over the place and recovered more Shares than they'd lost. So yeah, it's almost like we're back to square one. Delish! And Neppy doesn't change at all, does she? Hm? Here I was, thinking you'd get a bit more serious after what you went through, and you just take us on some random picnic? You've got it the wrong way around! It's precisely because I went through that that I need to live every day like it's everyday! I have no idea what you just said. Heeeeeey! Heeeeeey! Wh-Who in Gamindustri is that?! N-No clue... Compa! IF! Huh? Who are you? No doubt. Only resolve! Uni! Your boobs! Now they're as small as ours, Uni! We're flat buddies! I'm not too happy about being in that category. Finally, I can begin! Whoa! Close shave. Barely made it! I'm bored! Play with me, Neptuna! How many times do I gotta tell you, P-ko? My name's not "Neptuna." It's Neptune! Neptuna! Neptuna! Hey! Don't just yank the plug out like that! Huh? Play with me, Neptuna! Zoinks! Those two get along like a house on fire. She's just running rings around poor Neppy. Histoire, have you still not found her guardians? No. She's been here for three weeks now. Don't we have any leads at all? No idea. Why did she recognize the two of us? Maybe we should count ourselves lucky that we even found out what her name was. Yes. It's a good thing her underwear had the name "Peashy" on it. Gotcha! P-Punch! How's this, Nepgear? Nice and soft, right? Yes, Vert. You can call me Sis if you like, you know. But my Sis is— Oh, forget it. I think I could get used to you being my Sis! Of course. And, uh... I see things have gotten crazy out here too. The Lily Rank's gone through the roof! Hey, Vert! Whaddaya think yer doin' to my kid sister?! Sis! What's the problem with getting a little closer to each other every now and then? "Every now and then"? More like every day! Nepgear's my kid sister, you hear me? You sound like a meddling sister-in-law. Let's keep strengthening our bond, okay, Nepgear? I actually came here to offer you an invitation. What? You wanna capture me too? Are you going for the sisters route? Zoinks! Not quite. Blanc contacted you, didn't she? She did? What do you think? This is Clatter, a long-eared bandicoot. He's a recent addition to the family. So cute. Lemme hold him! Well? What do you wanna talk about? Simply put, we need to talk about network security. Oh, so you want to base yours off Lastation's unbreakable digital defenses? Uh... But of course! I did spare no expense in hiring the best staff possible to create an impregnable firewall! Does it also protect the satellite system you put into operation recently? Indeed. I could let you copy it, but let me be honest. It'll cost you. There are traces of the satellite being hacked into from a server in Lastation. Excuse me?! Like I said, there are traces— Impossible! A security breach is about as likely as being randomly hit by someone falling from the sky. Move! Move! Move! Outta the waaay! Phew, that was lucky. Goodness gracious. How could you be careless enough to plummet from the sky and hit someone? Sorry, my bad. P-ko started making a fuss while I was flying over here, and I ended up reverting by mistake. Show some self-control! Sorry. Oh, yeah. Introduce yourself, P-ko. It's me, P! I never knew you had a child this old, Neptune. Yeah. She's the first one I gave birth to, so she's extra-specially-precious to me! Wait a sec! She's a lost child who we're taking care of at our Basilicom! I figured as much. Holy drumsticks! Blanc actually played the fool! Rom, Ram. Be friends with her. 'Kay! Let's go play. Okay! I'll play! Freeze! Anyway, about what we were discussing earlier... Let's go someplace else. Uni. Hold the fort for a bit, okay? O-Okay. Um, Nepgear... I could use your advice on something. Noire's been acting weird? She's been locking herself in her office every night, doing something. Are you sure she's not just working? She wouldn't lock the door if she was. Sometimes I even hear this weird laughter from inside. I'm kinda worried. So basically, you want to know what Noire's doing in there on her own? That's what it boils down to, I guess. I've got just the thing for you, then. I just happened to bring this with me. What is it? It's an inconspicuous gadget that wirelessly transmits images! A hidden camera, you mean. This tiny little thing can compress and transmit HD video in real time! Isn't it awesome? I've been wanting to set it up some time and see how it works! U-Uh... I can do it here, right? Bwahahaha! What's so funny? It's just, you were bragging about it every chance you got! You were like, "Lastation's security is the best in the world!" And now you've got a security breach? My sides! There's no use crying over spilled milk. What's important is to make sure it doesn't happen again. That, and... Catching the the person responsible, right? Whoa, Noire's in serious mode! I figured something like this might happen, so I brought in a specialist to help us out. Come in. A super-duper programmer who's the pride and joy of Leanbox: Ms. Setag. Ms. Setag? Who was that, again? An original character! It's happening! Greetings. I'm the one billed as Setag. Billeased to make your acquaintance. B-Bill? A character that makes such terrible puns in this day and age?! This one's gonna flop worse than Windows Me! No need to worry. After this scene is over, I bill never show up again. Would you be able to identify the culprit? Billeave it to me. This looks like a good spot. Or maybe putting it here would give us a better angle. Well, she looks like she's enjoying herself. Nah, it's gotta be here! It's coming this way! Watch out! You'll get tagged! Freeze! All done! Hey, it works! That sure is a clear image. Doesn't it look good? It uses NPEG-4, a cutting-edge codec, to transmit HD images in perfect detail! H-Huh? What's wrong? I'm starting to feel like we're doing something really bad. Maybe we should take it down. Yeah, you're right. Don't go that way! Sis will get mad! What's going on? It's a cross-connection. Wait... That means there are other hidden cameras in that room! What? Whaaat?! I think we're close. I'm so mad! How dare they spy on Sis? I'm gonna beat them black and blue! It almost sounds like you're talking to me. Well? Tell us which building we're looking for, Nepgear! Y-Yes, ma'am! Unfortunately, this reverse tracing device only shows the approximate location. That so? Time to kick down every door in sight, then. Still, I'm surprised you had that thing on you. Did you just happen to bring that too? Actually, I never leave home without it. Portable chargers and tracing equipment are must-haves for any girl. In what universe? Nepgear! I'm hungry! Is that so? What now? I'm hungry! Hungry! Hungwy! You're such a baby, Peashy. I'm a big girl now. I can put up with being hungry for a while. Me too. I'm a big girl. I'm a big girl too! Can you put up with it, then? I will. Pat, pat. You two are so cool. So they suddenly act all grown-up when there's a younger kid around. Huh? Look, it's our sisters. What's going on? Say, Noire. We didn't have to take action ourselves. We could've had security take care of it. That'd just be boring. If whoever did this thought they could make a fool out of me, they'll think twice when I pound their stupid face in! Noire's so aggressive today. I like it. That's the place, ain't it? That's the hideout that Ms. Setag identified. All right! Let's go find the culprit. Keep it down, dammit! They'll run away if they find out we're here! Is this where the "look who's talking" goes today? They went in here, didn't they? Y-Yeah. Maybe they're going after the voyeur too? Clatter! He ran away! Peashy! Freeze! Put your hands up and turn around slowly. You're the hacker, I take it? Answer me. Now! Oh, don't be such a stranger, sweetie. Call me Anonydeath! Zoinks! A d-drag queen? With that appearance? Goodness, how rude. My heart is more ladylike than any other! Yep, drag queen. Way too obvious. And I'd imagine he has a bit of a foul mouth, too. Bingo. Looks like I was wrong to assume you were some tits-for-brains bimbo. Who gives a damn about your gender? Are you gonna own up to your crimes or not? What? You're so cute in person. So much cuter than I imagined. You can't distract me by saying things like that! Oh, please. I'm serious, sweetie. Serious. Serious. Serious. I'm so sorry I took all these pictures! Noire here! Noire there! Noire here, there and everywhere! Where are you, Peashy? Clatter! Where could they have gone? Peashy! I'm a huge fan of yours, Noire. I wanted to learn more about you so badly that I just couldn't help myself. I don't care about these pictures. What I do care about is the hacking! You don't care, you say? So you don't care about these either? Noire's sewing! I never knew you were that kinda person. I am! Surprise! I'm rather family-oriented, you see. These clothes look familiar. It's just your imagination! I'm absolutely, positively sure it's just your imagination! Hey! I told you these weren't the problem here! Oh? Is this what you meant, then? Whoa! What're these? Pictures of her cosplaying, clearly. Oh, so that outfit was from Four Goddesses Online. Don't look! The way you panic is cute too! An exclusive! D-Damn you. Have it your way! I'm gonna throw you in the slammer for peeping! Oh my. If I should ever leave this place, all these pictures will be automatically sent around the world. Are you okay with that? Huh? I originally wanted to keep them all for myself, but covering the world in Noire sounds delightful in its own way. This is a tough decision to make. If these pictures were leaked... ...I'd be too embarrassed to show my face in public. What's the big deal? Noire looks super cute in these. You don't sound like you mean it. Fine! Go ahead! But you'll pay for it with your life! This is how it's got to be. Dammit. The monitors are coming our way! This was fun, Noire. Oh, and I was lying about leaking the pictures, so don't you worry. Hold it right there! I was able to meet Noire in person. One little hideout's a small price to pay for that. Dreams come true! Huh? What? Nooo! Get away from me! Heeey! Clatter! Look, it's Peashy and Clatter! What's wrong with you, Peashy? Sorry about this. Sorry. Geez. What are you teaching this kid? Peashy? Is your name Peashy? Yup. It's me, P! Sis? So you're the peeping tom?! Whoops! Getting those prints made of my favorites came back to bite me! You'll pay for this! You're not getting away, you damn tranny! Huh? Uni? Sis? Oh, all right. I give up. He never owned up to the hacking. Well, he got caught, so all's well that ends well. Looks like Noire's got bigger fish to fry now, anyway. You saw them? Did you see these pictures? Er, w-we didn't— Yup! We saw all of them! What's "cosplay"? Wait, why are you guys even here in the first place?! I'm done with this! Listen up. You are all to forget everything you saw here. Got it? And you, Uni! You should know better than to come to a place like this! P-ko! Ta-dah! Wanna eat? I smuggled it in with me. Yeah! I'll eat it! Oh, but we're going halfsies, okay? Okay! Halfsies with Neptuna! Hello. It's me. I found you-know-who. I'd gone through the trouble of hacking into a satellite, but then I found her easily through other means. What? Yeah... Say, Uni... You don't like me cosplaying, right? I don't mind quitting if you want me to. Nah. Don't quit. You can only do that because you're not too tied down with work, right? I guess. I've had some more free time lately. That made me feel like I'd become a little bit more useful. I wonder about that. "A little bit"? Please. You've been a great help! Sis! Move! Move! Move! Egad! What was that noise? Zoinkers! Ouch! Wh-Who're you? Huh? Oh, me? I'm Plutia. Planeptune's CPU. Whaaaaat?! Impossible! A security breach is about as likely as being randomly hit by someone falling from the sky. Move! What?! I was standing in the right place, okay?! I'm Plutia. Nice to meet you. A toast to Plutia, Planeptune's new CPU! Hold it right there! Compa, that makes it sound like she took my place as CPU! Huh? But she's Planeptune's CPU too. Yeah, she said Planeptune, but her Planeptune is a different Planeptune to our Planeptune. Got all that? Er... Basically, it seems Plutia came from another dimension. Though I guess you don't know how to react to being told there's another dimension out there. Can you transform too? I can. But people tell me not to do it too often. How come? Hmm... I wonder why... Hey, P-ko! Gonna eat meat! You can have this, Neptuna! Get it away from me! I hate eggplants! Why don't you give it a try, Neppy? They came out quite well today, if I do say so myself. Don't wanna! The stench alone makes me lose all strength! But they're so delicious. You're missing out on about 33% of what life has to offer. Whatever! I still hate those stupid things! Eggplants are really good for you, you know. You're taking the eggplants' side too, Histy?! Neptune! What kind of an example does a CPU who's picky about food set for her people? Lady Histoire! Are you okay? I... don't... know.... A curse?! It's the curse of the eggplants! It is not! Yeah, those things just aren't edible! Sorry about that. That was the first time I'd ever received communications from another dimension, so it took me a while to read the manual and respond accordingly. I'm sorry about calling you out of the blue, too. Thank you for taking care of Plutia. You're kinda tiny. Don't look down on me just because I'm small! I was the one who sent Plutia to your dimension, you know. I see. That was quite the shock, though. I had no idea other dimensions existed, let alone that they were so easy to travel between. It's not easy! I'll have you know it's actually quite difficult to do. Oh, I'm sorry. Though, well, the manual does contain a how-to guide. Took me three days to read it all. That so? I'll have a look through mine. Dessert time! Yay! Hey, P-ko! I want this one! That's mine. Can't you see it says "Nep's" on the label? Peashy, the others are the same as that one. No! I wanna eat Nep's pudding! Why? It says it's mine, so it's mine. Go away. Say what? You wanna go? You're being immature, Neptune. Don't fight, Neppy. Anyway, why did you send Plutia here? To tell you the truth, we detected a large flow of energy from our dimension to yours. I think something— or someone—moved there. Oh... Whatever it is, it holds so much energy that if we let it go, our world might run out of energy to sustain itself. Right... That's why we need Plutia to look for whatever went missing and bring it back. I see. So, how would one go about searching for this thing? P-Punch! I spent three days investigating that, and I still couldn't figure it out. Huh? Then... All we can do is try to stay on top of any changes that happen in your world. If some kind of major upheaval takes place, you should be able to find what we seek nearby. I understand. I'll let the others know. And that's the story. I'd like you all to inform me immediately if you notice anything peculiar. So you've come, huh? I'll send you flying clear outta Planeptune! I'm gonna play with this! Give that back! Please! Um, are you listening to me? Oh, sorry, Histoire. I'm listening. W-Wait! That's if anything peculiar happens, right? I haven't seen anything yet. But you haven't moved an inch. I'll go on patrol, Histoire. Thanks as always. I'm counting on you. Sure. See you later. Compa, you've got work now, right? Want a ride on my motorbike? Yes, thank you! All done! Huh? Plutia, is that me? It's Neptuna! That's right. It's so cute. Totally. It's got everything that makes me cute! I like making dolls of my friends. Me too! Make me too! I'll do yours next, then. And Gear after that. Yippee! We did it! Let me begin right away. Maybe, just maybe, we'll get to see a real artist at work? Yeah, maybe she'll make it without any pattern paper. H-Huh? She's asleep? Well, we got to see a piece of work, I guess. There's a lot of construction work going on today. Sorry we're running late. It's okay. I'm with you, so I'm having fun. R-Really? What the? Hold your breath, Compa! You certainly fell for that one easily. Wait, you can't be... Sis! Wake up, Sis! I can't eat any more... Quit having such clichéd dreams! Geez, Sis. What do you want, Nepgear? What the heck are those? Oh, no. They were sent to me from an unknown address. There was a map attached too. We need to go save her! Yeah, but who would do a thing like this? The time for revenge has come. You won't achieve anything by doing this, Arfoire. Neppy and Nepgear will just defeat you again. This time will be different. I've got an ace up my sleeve. That is to say... all these eggplants! I've already figured out that eggplants are a goddess's Achilles heel! I'll put them through hell right here in this eggplant farm. You don't stand a chance no matter what tricks you pull, you old hag. Shut up, pipsqueak. Choke it all down. Don't leave a single molecule behind. Wouldn't want you to miss out on 33% of what life has to offer. What do you think you're doing, you wrinkly witch?! Silence! Eggplant skin is loaded with polyphenols, you know? Stop it! There you are, CPU. Today's the day I send you six feet under. If it's a fight you want, you've got it. So unhand Iffy at once— Are you okay, Sis? I'm sorry. The stench of those eggplants— Took you long enough to notice. I bought up all this farmland so I could use your Achilles heel against you. This eggplant field will be your grave! Don't be stupid. Sure, I may hate eggplants, but they're not going to kill me. We'll see about that. Come forth, my purple servants! What are those? Huh? Where am I? A place just for the two of us. Mister Mouse? I crawled my way up from the depths of Hell just so I could see you again. Huh? From the what of Hell? Today's the day I give you every last inch of my heart. Eggplants scary! Eggplants stop! Eww. Yikes. Sis! Plutia! Outta my way! Pull yourself together, Neppy! They're just monsters that this old hag put together with her magic. Kick their asses! Haven't had enough yet, eh? While I'm here, I might as well keep feeding you eggplants! IF! Nepgear! I'm gonna hurl! Well? Eggplants taste good raw too, don't they? How about another? Eat it. Eat some more. Zoinks... This kinda... pisses me off. Why... would you... Zoinks! torment... Iffy like that? S-She's my hostage! I can do whatever I want to her! So that's how it's going to be, is it? In that case... Maybe I should do whatever I want, too. Huh? Plutia? That's an even more drastic transformation than my sister's. Who the hell are you?! Me? I'm Iris Heart. Don't worry about memorizing it. I'll carve it into your body for you! Don't tell me you're all flash and no substance, now. Show me a side of yours that's a little less withered up, would you?! She seems to be enjoying herself. A-Anyway, we should let Plutia handle things over there. Why don't you try opposing me for a change? While they're at it, let's finish these guys off nice and quick. Nepgear, go and free Iffy. I'll chop up these eggplants. Okay. I've seen the light. Nothing seems worth it if you don't have your loved one by your side. So... Co... Co... Compa! Co... Co... Compa! Co... Co... Compa! M-Mister Mouse?! Take that! I thought I'd be able to have a bit more fun, but I guess a loser's a loser. I just let my guard down! That's all! If I'd known about you beforehand... Man, losers are always so full of excuses. Blah, blah, blah, blah... It hurts to listen to. I'm so not gonna reach the climax like this. Guess I should just finish you off. Wait, Plutia. That's enough— Did you think I had nothing else up my sleeve? I'll teach you even more about the true terror of purple. Behold my newfound powers! I have become a transcendent being that melds goddess with eggplant, exceeding the power of both! My name is Eggfoire! Hm? You don't seem very impressed. When you get that huge, you don't look much like an eggplant to me anymore. You're just a great big lump of purple. S-Say what?! Right now, my anger's winning out. I can't forgive what you did to Iffy or what you did by bringing eggplants, of all things, into battle. I'll make you rue the day you crossed me. Ready, Nepgear, Plutia? Yeah, Sis! I'm always ready. Wha— This sure is eggplant on my face! If you were going to bring veggies into it, you should've used a more balanced selection. Compa. Let's share the kiss of destiny. Mister Mouse. Are you no longer a bad guy? I don't like bad guys. If I wasn't a bad guy... Who're you?! Things were just getting juicy over here! Don't interrupt! You're just a mouse. The only thing you're fit to do is scurry through filthy sewer pipes. I can't believe you'd even think of defiling cute li'l Compa. Don't tell me. Are you a new CPU? "CPU"? You filthy, vulgar vermin. That's... "goddess" to you! Wow. Mister Mouse has such a limber body. It's stretching like rubber! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! What was that? I can't understand you! Come on! Come on! Are you okay now, IF? Yes. I'm not hurt or anything. That Arfoire sure was a terrifying opponent, wasn't she? Yeah. Though there was someone even more terrifying out there. Huh? What do you mean, Neppy? Nothing. Gotta try and keep her transformations to a minimum from now on. Dinner's ready! Dinner! Dinner! Dinner! Dinner! Dinner! Dinner! Dinner! Dinner! Dinner! Zoinks! Mauve eggplants?! Yes. Wh-Why are we having eggplants again after what just happened? Peashy requested them. Looks like she took a liking to them after eating them yesterday. Eggplants! I heard you'd overcome your hate for eggplants too, Nep-Nep. Nah, I wouldn't exactly call that "overcoming" it. I was just going with the flow of battle! No! Not eggplants! I hate eggplants. Eggplants scary! Don't wanna eat eggplants anymore! Get a hold of yourself, IF! Iffy started hating eggplants too? Well, I can understand how she feels. Iffy! My bosom buddy! Eggplants yummy! Are you seriously going to become an eggplant farmer? Given up on your quest for world dominaton? Yeah, I've grown a little tired of it all. I used up all my money on that operation, so I don't even have anywhere else to go. You'll help me? I don't have anything better to do. This is so strange. For the first time ever, I feel alive. I'm not doing it for free, you know. On a faraway island lies a giant, mysterious machine. Huge, skin-colored, and sometimes pink. Is it a trap? Or perhaps... Next week, on Hyperdimension Neptunia: the prelude to a nightmare. Tune in or kiss your save data goodbye. Chow time! No fair, Neptuna! That's mine! That's my pudding of yours! Have you lost your marbles? It says "Nep's," so it's mine. Not yours. Mine! Pu— Hey, P-ko! Now you're just being naughty! You're the one who's naughty! M-Me?! You always go too far, P-ko. Hmph. I hate you when you're like that! Neptuna, you stupidhead! Stupidhead! It takes one to know one! Why are you squabbling with a child? Huh? When'd you get here? Around the time you dropped your pudding. You bullied Peashy! The poor thing. You could stand to act a bit more mature. What? I'm the bad guy here? Absolutely. Totally. Definitely. Yeah, yeah. Well, okay, I might've gone a little too far... That aside, what brings you all here? Changing the topic, are we? I spy Peashy! Plutia... I looked all over the place for you. Here you go. I promised to make this, remember? It's a plushie of you. Yay! I love you, Plutia! Thanks. R-18 Island? Judging by its name, could it be... Indeed. A forbidden island only adults may set foot upon. Things like this and that happen around the clock, or so I hear. And we're going to that alluring amusement park right now! Could this week be... a fanservice episode?! Huh? So we're not going there to have fun? No. Unfortunately not. Yesterday, our satellite detected a massive artillery battery set up on R-18 Island. So we decided to go check it out. And Histoire did tell us to keep an eye out as well. Is someone trying to start a war? Hey, Neppy. I wanna fly by myself. Huh? Y-You can't! Please, just stay the way you are. Why? If she can transform, why not let her do it? If you'd seen the things I've seen, you'd know why! Huh? No means no! Neppy, you spoilsport! Stay still! Goodness me, what in the world are you doing? Why can't I go to R-18 Island? I refuse to accept this! We refuse! We refuse... What's wrong, Peashy? If you're looking for something, we'll help you out. Peashy! So here's where you were. Let's go inside and play some games. Are you looking for something? I'm not! She's clearly looking for Neppy. She probably wants to apologize. Oh... Never knew she had such a cute side to her. Neppy should've made up with her before leaving. The two of them are basically family now. These things happen between family members. Let's get R-18 Island's immigration check over and done with. I-Is this okay? It feels kinda weird wearing a swimsuit in my HDD form. I don't think it makes much of a difference, though. This island has a strict dress code. Either you put on a swimsuit, or you go in all-nude. That's how it is. A rather extreme dress code, I see. Looks like Blanc and Plutia are done changing too. Yoohoo! Am I cute? Deary me. Am I? Dear me... Hey! You were looking at my breasts just then, weren't you?! Huh? Th-That's not true. It's just... I couldn't help but wonder if they'll even recognize you two as adults. D'you have to say it straight to our faces?! You'll be fine. Age doesn't apply to us goddesses. Well, guess we can take a crack at it. Begin the check, please. Welcome to R-18 Island. A question. Are you an adult? Of course. Approved. Enjoy your stay at R-18 Island. I'm here on business, though. Come on, ladies. Get to it. Okay. Approved. I am an adult. Are you really over eighteen years of age? Yeah. Yes! Really? Wha—? Yeah, really! She doesn't believe me! You're actually a little girl, aren't you? I am not! With that breast size? Let's go. Yay! Well, you certainly cracked it. It's all well and good that we got into the island, but where are we supposed to go now? Yeah. Maybe we should ask around. Right away, ladies! Welcome! Lean on me if you've got any problems. I'm Linda, an authorized guide! I'll give you a good deal. Aren't you... Hey, it's the kidnapper! Ack! It's the CPUs from back then! So you're the one who put my sisters in the soup, huh?! H-Hold on a second, please! I've turned over a new leaf. I'm making an honest living! You'd better be telling the truth. You lie, you die. I'm not lying! I'm a perfectly upstanding citizen now! I see. You're looking for the artillery battery set up on this island? Would you happen to know anything? Of course! You can count on me. Oh, but I'd also like to check out all the fun places on this island. Come on. This isn't a game. But... Gotcha! I've got just the spot for ya. The most picturesque place across all of R-18 Island. Wairisqué Beach! Whoa! Whoaaaaa! Wow! How daring! Wh-Wh-Wha—? Why is everyone n-n-nu— Everyone's in the nude. My, how open. Forget this place! Let's hurry up and find the artillery! Hey, what're all those shiny things? Oh, they're just Mysterious Light Beams. They love lewd body parts. Why don't those people just wear swimsuits?! L-Lewd body parts... That means... I can get away with doing this! You're so daring, Sis. You try it too, Nepgear! It's fun. Huh? Count me in. Me too. Huh? What?! This feels great. Nepgear! If everyone else is doing it, I will too! Huh? Take this! No! Now you've done it! Take that! It's true. Birthday suits feel amazing. What the hell are you all doing? Come on, let's go! No point pretending to be innocent! If you make good use of the Mysterious Light Beams... What? Oh my, how strange. You look like you're naked even when clothed! What? What do you think you're doing, you pervert?! It's the mind's job to be perverted! Hurry up and strip! Guess I don't have a choice. Wait. Zoinks! Aww, they found out. And here I thought it was the perfect plan. I figured it'd be something like this. But, Neptune, I saw you throw off your swimsuit! That was just a mirage. No way! Oh no! How could you deceive me like that? You're awful! Sorry about that, Nepgear. I never thought you'd actually strip naked. Let me get your swimsuit for you. All done. What do you think, Blanc? Put the wax on, and spread it out. Up! That's enough, Vert. Down. Oh? There are still a few places I haven't covered. See? I'll handle the rest myself! Ladies! How would you like some ice tea? Well, aren't you considerate? Thankies! I'm lovin' it! Everyone, help yourselves. Sis?! What's wrong? It's happening! Neptune? Are you okay? Sis? No! I'm so embarrassed! What? Yes! This is so... so shameful! I beg of you, don't look at me! Don't look! Cripes! When did she get so disgusting?! This isn't the Sis I know and love! Don't look! I've heard of this before. Shyness is the biggest taboo on this island, but I've heard there's a drug that maximizes it. Y-You've got it all wrong! I don't know of any such drug. You bitch! How dare you— I don't really get it, but you said you'd become an upstanding citizen, right? No, Plutia! Don't do it! I'm a natural-born villain! I can't just change at the drop of a hat! That so? So you can't change that easily, huh? Don't look! Then... Uh oh. She transformed. Let's take this nice and slow. I'll see if I can whip you into shape. T-Try it if you can... My. She ran away! Once I make it into the jungle, they won't be able to catch me— Boing. I don't need to hold back on a bad, hopelessly stupid girl like yourself, do I? Do I? Okay, then. Get ready. It's punishment time! It's punishment time! It's punishment time! It's punishment time! It's punishment time! No! Scream some more! Wow, she's giving her the works... That certainly is R-18. Now they're not looking at me, but that feels kinda bad too! S-Sorry, Sis! I'm here looking at you, okay? We're all set, girls! Yay! It's a pool! No, Peashy. Don't jump in— Peashy! Oh, come on. It's nice and cool. Oh, please. This is just a kiddy pool. I don't really— Wide open! Now you've done it! This feels great. What is it, Peashy? You're so squishy, Compa. I'm gonna be squishy too! Yeah. I'm sure you'll get all squishy when you grow up. Squishy! Coming. Sorry to keep you waiting. Who might you be? U-Um... Ladies. We are almost there. The artillery is right this way. We will be there in a moment. Wow, she sure has changed. I think anyone would after what she went through. The perpetrator seems unconcerned, though. Are you okay? Yeah, but I don't remember what I was doing. You're better off not knowing. What? Really? Oh, but you were really super cute back there. Huh? Why did that send shivers down my spine? We're here, ladies. Zoinks. Wh-What is this? They're enjoying themselves! Uh... A disco, perhaps? Look at that! Is that the artillery battery you were talking about? It's just a bubble machine! Oh, it stopped. Something's about to happen. What are they planning on doing? So pretty. Screw that! We came all the way here just for this— What was that? Just my imagination? It's gotta be. He's in prison right now. Thanks for waiting. I brought the girl you asked about, but Peashy here says she doesn't remember anything about her mother. I-I'm sure she'll remember right away! What do you think, Peashy? I don't know her. Th-That can't be! S-Sorry! I'm so sorry! Don't be. Let me get a cloth to wipe it up. Huh? I'll clean it up right away. Wait just a moment, please. Um... Yes? Ma... ma... Huh? It looks like she remembers me now. Ma... ma... Then you really are her mother? Mama... Mama. That was a total wild goose chase, wasn't it? Yeah. What's wrong, Noire? You've been acting weird for a while. Huh? N-Nah, it's nothing. Are you regretting not taking your clothes off when you had the chance? Does that mean Noire is a cosplay-loving nudist? You're the nudist, Nepgear. Hey, guys. You saw me transform, right? Then let me transform and— Hell no! You're all spoilsports! We're back! Welcome home... Look at all these souvenirs! I wrote my name on all of 'em, so all this pudding belongs to me! We don't have to fight anymore, P-ko. Huh? Where's P-ko? Neptune, actually... P-ko went home? Yes. Her mother came to pick her up. No way! That happened way too fast! Peashy said she wanted to go home with her mother right away. We didn't hear about it until after she left either. This is so sad. B-But we can go see her again, right? Well... They left before we could get their address. No way... Stupidhead... P-ko, you stupidhead! It takes one... to know one. I brought her. Good job. W-Will we be okay? Why did I have to do that? To start with, what was the black substance in that bottle? If I recall correctly, your name was Rei Ryghts, right? R-Right. Then you'd do well to remember this, Rei. You know what they say about questions? You're only supposed to ask them when there's a point to hearing the answers. Hello. I'm Plutia. I'll be hosting Nepstation today! Our guest this time is Ms. Setag— How long are you gonna sleep for? Get up already! I'm still sleepy, Neppy. No can do! We need to go on patrol again today. Hey! No going back to sleep! Anyway, just get up now. Morning, Nepgear. We leave in half an hour, okay? O-Okay. Got it, Sis. Ow. Neppy's super tiring to be around these days. Yes, you're right. What? So neither Nepgear nor Neptune are around? No. They've been going out on all-day patrols recently. Patrol? Neptune?! My thoughts exactly. By the way, why are you in Lowee? I came here to help Rom and Ram out. As it turns out... We found it using satellite imagery! We found where Peashy is. What? Nothing out of the ordinary so far. Yeah, Sis. Neppy, we only just came here three days ago. That's enough time for things to change. It's a pack of wolves! They weren't here the last time. Let's get rid of them. Huh? But there's pretty much no danger of them making it all the way to town. Monsters are monsters. Kill first, think later! Wait, Sis! Here they come. Here we are! Sorry for making you do this. Don't be. We want to see Peashy too. Where's Peashy's place? Well, going by the satellite image you sent us, probably that one. Hey there! Looks like this one's empty too. That means... She's gotta be on the top floor! Was this really the right thing to do? We came here by ourselves. Nepgear and Neptune have been wanting to see Peashy too, haven't they? Yeah, of course. We just need to take Peashy with us to the Basilicom. Once they get back home, they'll get a big surprise! Yeah, a surprise! That's right. So, is this Peashy's home? Hello! Peashy! What's with this place? Where's Peashy? "Say no to CPUs"? How rude! This looks familiar. Didn't we get one back then in town? We should live our lives not under the CPUs, but under the right rules and regulations. So the person who was handing out the flyers back then is Peashy's mother? I wonder about that. Either way, it doesn't look like anyone's home. Peashy... I hate CPUs. CPUs should all just disappear! So why do I have to take part in this? Not very good at giving up now, are we, Rei? You forced me into this! I'm just a social activist! Why did you pick me? I didn't have a choice. My client for this job ordered me to drag you into it. Who is this client? No idea. I've only ever spoken to them over the phone. But they pay well, and that's what matters. I'm leaving. That won't do, my dear. You're an accomplice now. You were the one who kidnapped her, weren't you? Get it? Time you stopped rotting away over there and did your job. She'll be ready soon as well. Give us a hand, Plutia. Don't wanna. I feel sorry for them. What are you talking about? We're doing this for you too, you know. You need to detect any major upheavals as soon as possible, right? This was barely a change at all. Besides... Plutia transformed! People who say they're doing something for others when they're actually doing it for themselves... seriously piss me off. Are you talking about me? I don't believe there was anyone else here acting like a total pain in the ass. I-I just wanted to patrol and look for upheavals— Don't get the wrong idea. I love you, Neppy. But when I see people lying to themselves, it makes me want to bully them to hell! Stop it, Plutia. I don't want to fight you! Well, isn't that something? I feel the same. Let me have my way with you. Then there'll be no need for us to fight! Oh no... What am I to do? What's wrong, Neppy? Come at me! Is this all you've got? Stop it, Plutia! Stop. Please, just stop! I'm telling you to stop! Way to go. I expected no less from you. Stay my friend, Plutia. I'd do anything for you. I can't believe you're still lying to yourself. Don't you have someone else you'd do anything for? P-ko... I should've spent more time with her! I should've let her have more of my pudding. If only I'd told her I wanted her to stay longer... That's more like it. If you can't do anything about your feelings, just spit them out. That's the Neppy we know and love. Hello? Hey, Plutia. What, Neppy? This felt better when you were in your HDD form. Is that so? Guess I'll transform just for you. Just kidding! This isn't half-bad either! It's like scrubbing my heart on a washboard! Really? Yay! Sis! Plutia! Huh? You wanna be scrubbed too, Nepgear? Oh, come on. I just got word from Histoire. She said a new nation's been formed! Say what?! A new nation? What do you mean, Lady Histoire? I'm not completely certain yet. I just suddenly received word that a new nation has been formed on R-18 Island. Anyway, it seems Neptune and Nepgear will go check it out along with the other CPUs. What's going on? Like I said, they're going to— Why is Nepgear the only one who always gets to go to R-18 Island?! No fair! We're goddesses too, you know. Take us along! Why are you yelling at me about this? This sucks! We wanna go! We wanna go! We wanna go! R-18 Island. I knew that place was fishy. Guess there was a point to that artillery after all. We completely missed the signs. Plutia. Is that great power you're looking for also over there? Dunno, but it might be. Watch out! Hi, my lovely goddesses! Don't tell me... My humble greetings. Welcome to the brand-new state, Eden! Why, hello there, Noire. How are you here?! I confirmed that you were in prison just three days ago! I know. You came to visit me while I was serving my time, did you not? Or to be more precise, you visited my body double. You think you can mock me? I'll get you now! Oh, but you can't. This is an independent nation. I'm afraid that not even you have the jurisdiction to do that, Noire. Dummy. Who in their right mind would recognize a nation founded by a criminal? You don't even have a CPU! Give it up! Noire! Ouchies. Flying is hard! Are you... ...a CPU? Yep, yep! And my name is, um... Oh, that's right! I'm Yellow Heart! Nice to meetcha. How ridiculously massive! There goes your unique identity, Vert. What are you saying?! Size doesn't matter! Shape does! That's the same thing I've been hearing from the losers all along! Can't sympathize with you there, I'm afraid. Hey, you! Ohmigosh! A person came out of my bum-bum! I didn't come out of anything! Just get off of me already! I'm gonna catch that guy! Huh? Catch? Over my dead body! A-Amazing strength! That's a good girl, Yellow Heart. These terrifying ladies are trying to catch me! Not if I can help it! If it's a fight you want, you'd best be prepared! Time for you to go out of production! Not such a big deal, eh? She's just a rookie. This is fun! Let's play more! She's not hurt at all. This is just part of the process. The real objective is— Hey! Wh-What? Do you know anything about that huge cannon? N-Not a thing! Anything's okay, no matter how small, so please tell me. I have nothing to do with it. But I saw you taking a walk near the cannon. I was just passing by! You simply reek of lies. What fun! Bring it on! Hey! What's with her? L-Listen to me, please. I was just tricked into helping out with this, you see. I'm a victim. Oh? I hate people who play the victim. Eek! Please don't hurt me! No bullying! I also hate people who interrupt me when the going gets good! Plutia! Plutia! Are you okay? Yeah, she only grazed me. Neppy, you can't. I didn't want to pick a fight with the CPU of a new nation. But you were the aggressor here. We're not gonna go easy on you anymore. Huh? You don't wanna play anymore? Don't think you can just get away with anything by making them bounce! Calm down, Vert. About time for the climax, I suppose? This is me going all-out. Tricolor Order! Ein Schlag! Darjeeling Rotation! Dual Edge! Did we get her? That's a "we didn't get her" flag if I've ever seen one. My bad. That hurt! My transformation reverted. P-ko? Papa! Mama! Where are you? Right here. You did well, Peashy. Go on. You praise her too. Atta girl. Thanks. Hold me! Sure thing. How cute. P-ko! Why are you here? Don't tell me you're... No way, huh? Go away. I hate people who hurt my papa and mama. I hate you! P-ko? What have you done to that girl?! Me? Do something? I wouldn't dream of it. I am but a consul. I serve this lady here. It's a little late for this, but let me introduce you. This is our goddess! Eden's CPU! Yellow Heart, also known as Lady Peashy! Neppy. Oh, also, Rei will be making an important announcement now. Read it out, Rei. Huh? O-Okay. The CPU Yellow Heart-governed— I can't hear you! Eden hereby demands permission to export the adult goods manufactured in this country to all other nations in unlimited quantities! Failure to comply will be considered a declaration of war! You wanna go? You just formed this nation. Your Share reserves are paltry! Do you really think you can beat us? You can say that again. It certainly is reckless. But isn't this just the most exciting thing? Does this mean... we'll have to go to war with Peashy? Rei will be making an important announcement now. Read it out, Rei. O-Okay. Th-The passion... I can't hear you! The passion running through this body cannot be contained! Who the hell asked you to read erotica out loud?! Excursions are so much fun! Onward ho! Halt, citizens of Eden. If you advance any further, we'll open fire! Hey! It's the bad goddess! Peashy... I hate bad goddesses, but Papa said I could play with them. So, let's play! Sis! Is it true that Eden attacked Planeptune? Yes. It seems Nepgear's fighting by herself right now. I'll go help! Take a look at this, Uni. Lift the restrictions! Lift the restrictions! I want to see more extreme content! Lift the restrictions on adult content! We don't need no age limits! Lift the restrictions! Lift the restrictions! Lift the restrictions on adult content! Riots involving radical factions that endorse Eden's beliefs have simultaneously broken out at Lastation, Leanbox, and Lowee. So this is no time to be worrying about Planeptune, I take it? This is clearly a diversionary tactic used by Eden, but we have no choice but to address the problem in front of us. No way! What about Planeptune? What about Nepgear? Our foremost duty is to protect our own citizens. We're CPUs, after all. Lift the restrictions! Lift the restrictions! Perfect! We're on the right track. Take that, and that, and that! The entire world fell into chaos in an instant. Please, don't talk like this has nothing to do with you. You're the commander-in-chief of our army, you know. "Our army"? The people only wage war and riot because you're controlling their minds! What the hell is that black substance? Like I said, I don't know either. These items were all provided by our client, and we're forbidden to pry any further. I'm scared. I feel like we're going to turn the world upside down. I wonder about that. None shall pass! Not even you, Peashy! 'Kay! Let's play right here, then! It seems that goddess is exactly who we've been looking for. I knew it. So the reason Peashy recognized me and Iffy right from the start... ...was probably because she knew the two of you in the other dimension. This is making my head spin! Right now, a part of my world is totally on the way to destruction! Are you saying Peashy was originally supposed to govern that place? I think so. So I need Plutia to bring her back immediately, even if she has to use force to do it. I don't want to force her. If we don't do anything, our nation will be in big trouble too! I know, but... Hello? Oh, yes. Hey, Neptune! Jeepers! N-Noire?! What are you still doing there? Why don't you go keep your citizens safe? But I... It's P-ko, you know? Oh, please. Aren't you a CPU? If you're gonna call yourself one, put your nation before your feelings! Are you telling me to get rid of P-ko? That's what I'd do. That's all I wanted to say. Later. Was I too harsh? No, I'm sure she'll bounce back. Maybe Noire could do it, but I sure can't. If you can't do it, then that's fine. Let's stay here, play some games and relax. This isn't the time for games, even for me... Why? If you're not gonna go, what difference does it make either way? No! Games are a means of entertainment, not an escape from reality. Escape from reality? I... This is fun! I knew it! I can't deal any damage after all! Here I come! Wh-Why? I'm no match for her! Sis... Sorry I'm late, Nepgear. Don't be. But, Sis... Come on, let's play some more! Nepgear, take care of the soldiers and monsters for me. Hey! Are you listening to me? They might break through the barricade. But... Go. Okay, got it. P-ko! I'll play with you now. I'll do things my way. Come at me, P-ko! Here comes a big one! Huh? Done already? It'll take more than that to bring ol' Neptuna down. You know that well, don't you, P-ko? "Neptuna"? I dunno! Nah, I'm sure you remember. I mean, I'm your Neptuna! I dunno! You do know! I dunno! You do know! I dunno. I don't need you! Weak! Boring! I won't play with you anymore. It takes one to know one! It takes one to know one! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! Eden has almost no believers yet, but I sensed massive amounts of Share Energy in Yellow Heart. Something's off here. Noire. Plutia! Why are you here? Because Neppy refused to play games with me. Excuse me? What about you? Should you be here? It's all right. I've got a sister I can rely on. If you want to keep rioting, you'd best be prepared! I see. CPUs! Shh! They heard us! I guess I've no choice but to take you head on! I thought everyone here had been turned into soldiers, but I see you managed to stick it out. S-Spare me! What should I do, I wonder? Lickity lick. That tickles! I knew you'd come! Accept my torrent of love, Noire! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! Got you now, P-ko. Lemme go! Lemme go! Lemme go! Lemme go! Lemme go! I'm never gonna let you go! Never again! I'd expect nothing less from you, Noire. But my love is unlimited! This is good. This is great! Rei, quit goofing off and go look for the other goddess. I'm right here. Oh dear. How? My friend just happened to know where the entrance was. By giving her information, I kept my chastity safe! You're not really my type, but you still need to be punished. Oh, do you think you could arrange for Noire to punish me instead? Oh? Speak of the goddess! There is nothing my sword can't cut! My! You're good. Then it's time I... took the extreme offensive! What the hell? A machine that provides Share Energy? How violent. You could've just asked to see it instead of breaking the wall down. Is this the secret behind Yellow Heart's strength? Ever heard of this thing called client confidentiality? So if someone happened to smash this thing to bits... What would happen to Peashy and the nation of Eden? Since you won't tell us, I guess we'll have to find out for ourselves. Fighting Viper! Lace Ribbon Dance! Nooo! Lemme go! Lemme go! I won't! I won't let go! No! Remember me! Please remember me, P-ko! Dunno, dunno, dunno! I don't know anything about you! Huh? What's wrong? What's going on? No! Lemme go! P-ko... P-ko! I hate you! But I like you. I love you, P-ko! I love you. I love you! I hate you... I hate you! It's okay. I don't mind if you hate me. So long as you're here. I hate you... And thus, the curtain fell on Eden's short-lived history. The riots in each nation died down without any major casualties. Everything went back to the way it was... or so it was supposed to. But Peashy's memories didn't return. Nep... tune? Take care, everyone. This is goodbye? Things will get lonely without you here. It feels like we've been friends forever. I won't forget any of you. Me neither. Oh, Gear. Here you go. Is this me? Thank you very much! Take good care of it, okay? Take care of yourself, Peashy. It doesn't matter if you don't remember us. We'll always be friends! 'Kay. I hope our counterparts in the other dimension make friends with Peashy as well.. I'm sure they'll do fine. It's you and me we're talking about. Okay then, everyone. It saddens me to no end that we have to part, but it's time. The portal can't stay open forever! Wait! Sis isn't here yet. It's time. Opening the portal! Hey! You're late, Neptune! Sorry! Thank you so much for coming here, Plutia. We'll definitely see each other again, right? Yup. Definitely. Take these with you, P-ko. Neptune, what's this? The most delicious thing in the whole wide world! U-Um... It's time to get into the portal. Okay. Bye bye, everyone. Let's go, Peashy. Neptuna? P-ko... I won't forget any of you. Me neither. Oh, Gear. Here you go. Huh? This isn't like the others— Take good care of it, okay? I will! Wow! I've never seen a Share Crystal this bright before! It's amazing! What does this mean, Neppy? As you can see, Planeptune is booming right now! Our Share value had been showing a gradual downward trend, but one day it suddenly skyrocketed, and now it's rapidly outstripping the values of the other three nations. How is this happening? Isn't it obvious? It's because Planeptune has what this era wants: 64-bit architecture! Stopping Eden's invasion was probably the single greatest contributor. Still, this feels like too drastic a change. Well, Nep-Nep did give it her all. Yeah, she did. Congrats, Sis. You know me! When I get serious, I can work miracles! That aside, here's today's real agenda! Pay close attention! I want to thank all of our citizens, so I'm thinking of opening up the Basilicom grounds and holding a huge celebration! I call it: the Dynamite Wonder Festival! Why? Why? Why did it end up like this? I'm just a social activist. So anyway, the festival starts tomorrow. You're all invited! Here! You called us here for this? I don't have time for this nonsense. I'm leaving. Hey, Blanc! Wait! Hey, wait! I know you didn't mean any harm, but don't you think you're being a bit insensitive, Neptune? Ever since that uprising, every nation except Planeptune has had to cope with plummeting Share values. Well, I know that. I'm sure it hit Blanc harder than the rest of us. We were overtaken in an instant by Planeptune, which had had the lowest Share value for years on end. And Lowee's an old and proud nation. Lastation's not even like that, but this is still so frustrating for me. Well, I'm sure we'll bounce back in no time. Hang on a sec. We signed a treaty of friendship, you know? It shouldn't matter who's got the most Sha— Well, it does. The treaty doesn't change the fact that we're still competing over Share Energy. Indeed. I'm sorry, but I'm not so selfless that I could bring myself to celebrate another nation's Share rise. Hey... What about 5pb? I'd asked her to perform at the opening ceremony. She's already scheduled to appear on my live stream that day, so that won't be happening. Vert... Aren't you coming either, Noire? Nope. I'm too busy. We still don't know anything about the Share-producing machine we found in Eden. And there's lots more I have to— Fine. But if you happen to have some free time, you're always welcome to come here. Okay? Neptune... See you later, Noire. Welcome home, Sis. Welcome home. It's good to be back. How did the investigation go? I believe we'll be able to report our findings tomorrow. Get a move on. Hey, let's play some games, Sis! The new version of Lowee Sports is out. So excited! Yeah, let's play. Ga-thunk! Ga-thunk! Ga-thunk! Ga-thunk! Hey there, viewers of Abnes Channel. Long time no see! I'm Abnes, ally of little girls everywhere! I've received word that tons of little girls are being gathered at Planeptune's Basilicom. Smells like a conspiracy to me! Time to swoop in and save those little girls! Ga-thunk! Your conspiracy ends here! D-Don't let their tricks fool you! This is a plot to deceive little girls! I'm sure this nation's little goddess is up to no good— Geez, be careful! It's you, the little goddess! At last, your time has come. I'll prove today, once and for all, that a little girl can't be a CPU! You'd best be prepared. Got that? Be a good girl and leave your CPU days behind! Er... Who were you again? She doesn't remember me... Sis, we need to deliver these right away! Yeah, I know. Hey, Nepgear. She can help you with the delivery. Oh, are you a volunteer? Could you take this to the Green Hill ride over there? I'm Abnes! Ally of little girls everywhere! We've met before! Huh? We have? They really don't remember me! Hello, Blanc? Can you make it after all? Huh? Geez, she's so pushy. I happen to be busy too, you know. Blanc! I'm here. Where are you? Blanc! Getter Ravine! What are you doing, Blanc?! Hand over the Shares, Neptune! What are you saying? The treaty of friendship prohibits taking Share Energy by force— But stealing it is okay? What is that supposed to mean? I don't get it. I looked up the Share movements of each nation. And surprise, surprise, Planeptune's Shares went up exactly as much as Lowee's went down. Lastation and Leanbox had their Shares stolen like that too. No wonder your Share value went through the roof, right, Neptune? Hold on. This is the first I've heard of this. I didn't even know you could do that— Sure you didn't. I'm telling the truth. Please believe me! Okay, let's say it wasn't you. Maybe Histoire did it. Histy? No way. Then maybe it was Nepgear! Sis! Don't fight! Please stop! You two, shut the hell up! This is an international dispute. No, we won't! There's no way Nepgear and the others would do something that bad! We're friends! Well, someone sure as hell did! Consider this a warning, then. But know this, Neptune. If you continue to feign ignorance, we'll declare war. What is going on? There. All better. Just be careful when you run. Wait, Purple Sister! This way! Wait! Behold ye, far and wide! The festival's a roaring success. Wonderfully done, Neptune. My, Noire. You came for me? You doing okay? E-mailing me from within maximum security? You've got some balls. Why, Noire, I just wanted to have a bit of girl talk with you. If you've got something to say, just spit it out. I'm busy. Blunt as always, I see. No wonder you don't have any friends. Out with it! Okay, okay. I've had a lot of time on my hands lately, you know? So I investigated my client. You know, the one from the Eden case. Just to be clear, I've done nothing to breach the terms of my contract. After all, it said nothing about what I could or couldn't do after its expiry. Who cares about that? Well? Did you figure anything out? Who's the mastermind? Well, you see... The time has come. Rei Ryghts? Isn't she just someone who got dragged into your mess? Yes, that's what I thought all along too. Are you saying she was a con artist? I would have seen through any mere scam. So, to have fooled even me, Rei must be... Must be what? Something much more sinister... I suppose? You want me to give the official address? Yes. Neppy ran off somewhere and hasn't come back. Very well. I wonder what happened to her. Lady Histoire! What's going on?! Finally... it has returned. My continent, my nation: Tari! What's that? Who is that? You there, the not-so-little goddess! Little girls are being held captive there! Stop goofing off and save them! O-Okay! Oh, you're here already, Planeptune's CPU? Wait, are you Rei Ryghts? Oh, I don't like that one bit. I mean, that's a pretty lame name for a goddess, wouldn't you say? Are you a new goddess too? Say what? Would you mind not insulting me? I've been a goddess for far longer than you have. I'm Tari's CPU. The CPU of the great nation that rules this land. Tari's CPU? What's with that continent? Who's Neppy talking to? I don't know. The only thing I do know is that that thing shines with the light of a Share Crystal. The one talking to Neptune is, without a doubt, a CPU. Tari? You mean the ancient superpower that was said to have been destroyed eons ago? Bzzt. That's where you're wrong! It wasn't destroyed at all. It's just been waiting all along for the perfect time to make a comeback. Okay, so assuming you are who you say... What are you after? This land, and all those who inhabit it. Let me have it all. Do that, and I might even spare your life. In fact, this all belonged to me in the first place. Shut your trap and give it back, bitch! That's how it is. Screw you. This is Planeptune— my nation. You think I'd just hand it over to you? Oh? Is that your final answer? You sure? Wanna think it over? There are no other options. In that case... Energy charge, okay! Threatening me won't get you anywhere. That so? Just a sec. How about this, then? Can you still say that now, O great CPU? Pong Laser Cannon... Fire! What are you doing?! We need those! Look out! Are you okay? I can't tell the world about this without a camera! Well? Singing a different tune now? Welcome to Vert's Room. Today's guest is 5pb, our diva. It seems she'll be playing one of the singles from her new album for the first time on today's show. Stay tuned until the end. Did Uni reply? Yeah! She says she wasn't allowed to go to Planeptune's festival either. Will we not get to hang out with Nepgear anymore? What are you talking about? There's no way that'd happen. But Sis was really mad. No good. I can't get through to the Internet or phone network. Looks like all of our communications systems have been destroyed! Which means... We can't look for outside help. Changed your mind, huh? You'd have to be a retard to stick to your guns after all that. You're right. I have another answer for you. I won't let you have your way any longer. This is my nation. These are my people. And I'll protect them all! No good. I can't get through to the Internet or phone network. Which means... Oh, come on! The pre-orders for the new console just opened, but I can't get through! Hey! Nuh-uh. That won't work at all. Don't worry. We'll find your mom for you. Compa! Ge-Ge! Nep-Nep's fighting. Yes. I'm gonna go help her— What are you saying? Helping little girls evacuate comes first! I agree, Nepgear. Histy! Iffy! I'm glad to see you're okay. Yeah, we're all right. We should lead the people away from the city. Got it. Everyone! Please hurry and evacuate in that direction. Sis... Please wait just a little bit longer. Blaze Break! Like I said, it doesn't matter how many times you attack me. It's useless. That lightning certainly is powerful, but I shouldn't be taking this much damage. Something's not right. Mom! That's good. Ge-Ge? What's wrong? It just feels like the Share Energy within me is disappearing. Negear, you should probably deactivate HDD. I don't know why, but our Share reserves are dropping rapidly. Now, then. Let's charge up the Pong Laser nice and good again! What should we target this time? There are a lot of people there, so it'll do. Stop it! Don't wanna. Lock on. No, Lady Neptune is... Lady Neptune! Oh no! We're done for! What should we do? I don't wanna die! We'll be fine, everyone. Calm down. I'm sure Sis will save us! But she's been defeated! It's all over for us! Nepgear! You mustn't! We still don't have enough Share Energy. What's with the gloomy look? Rainy Ratnapura! Is this your so-called event? A bit tacky, don't you think? Noire! Vert too! You came? I simply came here as 5pb's chauffeur. Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting, Nepgear. Uni! 5pb! Thank you, Uni. No problem. I'll go join Sis and the others, then. Okay! Please do my part as well. Is that 5pb? What's she doing here? Listen, everyone! There's nothing to worry about. Let's believe in our goddesses! My, she certainly did dredge up something rather absurd. Who exactly is she? She's apparently the CPU of Tari, the superpower of old. But I can't imagine how a nation that collapsed so long ago got its hands on so much Share Energy. Look there. Eden was using a similar device. It's a machine that creates Share Energy. In that case, we should start by destroying it, should we not? I'll take care of the woman. I have to say, four-on-one's a bit annoying. My powers are draining away... What's... going on? What did you do? I'm losing my Share Energy! Wait, is that thing... a device that steals Shares?! Exactly. Oh, the laser should be fully charged by now. Can I push the big red button, then? No, don't! I'm still gonna do it, though. Fire! Ice Sanctuary! What? Attack from under the laser, and she can't hit you with her lightning. Right? Blanc! Rom! Ram! We did it, Rom! We're the best! Yeah, Ram. The best! I can feel the Share Energy. Histy. Go ahead. Thanks, Blanc. I calmed down and thought about it. I realized that everything made sense if Eden's machine could steal Shares. Way to go, Blanc. But you went and kept the best part all to yourself. No fair. Sis! Let's begin. Now it's our turn. You're too late! I've already taken enough Share Energy to destroy the world. "Destroy"? Didn't you want this nation for yourself? Are you retarded? I couldn't care less about that! What I really want... is to lay waste to everything. Why? Aren't you a CPU too? Yeah, I am. Yet all they did was bitch and whine. They never obeyed me! "They"? Tari cracked down on citizens that showed any discontent toward their CPU. That made people lose faith in her, and the nation eventually lost its Shares and collapsed. The so-called "Great Tari Crash." Sounds like she reaped what she sowed. You're wrong! They stole my nation from me. This time, I'll be the one doing the stealing! Recharge! I feel so sorry for you. You never had any friends, did you? I'll offer you my sympathy, but you can never have our world! The world lies shattered into pieces But I don't need to pick up all the fragments I'm going with maximum output for the next one. There's only one that matters to me Your petty magic won't be able to stop this! My true love is all I need find Vert. Noire. Blanc. Within the moonlit darkness Uni. Rom. Ram. I stand alone, with my heart of stone Nepgear. Lend me your strength! Singing a song for the future I bet you're just gonna try and destroy the Pong Laser. My words don't take shape But music doesn't have any rights or wrongs Wonder if you can pull it off before it finishes charging. It simply forms an irreplaceable bond I'll get stronger just by staying here I'll send ya flying there at the speed of light! For this is where I met you Where are you even aiming? The moment my faint voice Reaches people's hearts Eat this! It will give them courage That doesn't even tickle! To overcome anything I play my heart out Take care of this, Sis! My hard beat cannot be stopped Not on my watch! May my song reach the ends of the earth It's all pointless! Go, Neptune! The moment my faint voice Reaches people's hearts It will give them courage To overcome anything That's charged enough! May my song echo across the world If you've got it out, I can cut it off! You piece of shit! Fire! Victory Slash! My continent... Give it up. What you desire will never come to pass. Time to throw in the towel. Did you think that sinking my continent was all you needed to do to win? If I unleashed the energy I have left, I could send half the world flying, you know? Indeed. The hatred is surprisingly strong in this one. However... In the end, hatred is all it is. It doesn't matter if we use up all our Share Energy. There's only one job we goddesses have. Right, Nepgear? Yeah, yeah, play hero all you want... in the afterlife! Girls... I'll go too. I can still do this! I can blow them up, at least! And then I'll crush the world to bits and piec— I'm afraid we have a problem. This world is gonna be mine someday. Say what? Who're you? All good, old hag. Off to the dark abyss of despair with you! N-No! My powers! We finally got an anti-crystal back, but should we really have used it for this, old hag? Let's say I decided it on a whim. The "whimsical" trait only works for characters under twenty. Wait! Did you just help us? Don't be stupid. I will always and forever be your enemy. Oh, okay. But just for today, let me express my gratitude. Thank you, Bar Whore! Who're you calling a bar whore?! Thanks to your efforts, we recovered our Shares and stand here today to celebrate the completion of the new Planeptower. Have your Shares remained stable since then? Of course. We merely had them stolen by Tari. We hadn't lost the trust of our people. No problems here, either. Good to hear. Let's begin the ceremony, then. Sis! You gotta say it. You gotta. Hey, Neptune. How should I put this? Uh... Back then... Are you talking about the time you attacked me? I'm sorry. I felt like you'd taken advantage of our treaty of friendship, and all I could see was red. Frankly speaking, it was kinda fun fighting you all-out for the first time in a while. So I came up with an idea. What idea? I'll tell you later. It's all thanks to your faith that we were able to complete the new Planeptower. The city of Planeptune is recovering by the day, too. As this nation's CPU, I'm grateful to you all. Thank you so very much. Oh, and one more thing. I'd like to take this opportunity to make an announcement. And that is... One moment, please. Yeah, I gotta do it in this form! Well... I, Neptune, Planeptune's CPU, on this day, declare the treaty of friendship null and void! What?! There's no need for that old thing anymore. We're true buddies now! Don't you agree, Noire, Vert, Blanc? I suppose. You want to compete fair and square from now on, I take it? I guess even you can be clever once in a while. Then how about we hold an exhibition match right now? Let's do this! My heart's all aflutter. Hey, wait for me! I'm the protagonist here! Uni! Rom! Ram! Count me in. We're gonna show them we're the best. Yeah, the best. Looks like things are going to get chaotic once again. Sis... I can't do this! Doesn't that sword power up by taking goddesses' lives? And you and I are the only goddesses left. One of us has to be sacrificed in order to take that thing down! Sis... Do it, Nepgear. Okay. Got it. Forgive me! Ouchies! Sis... Sis! What? It's useless! We're all still here! Useless, useless, useless! N-No! I'll bweak... Her fever's not going down at all. The poor thing. An illness where you keep having nightmares about bad ends, was it? Yes. It took me three days to finally remember that the CPU from three generations ago fell prey to it as well. Apparently it's called "Bad End Syndrome." Bad End Syndrome... How was that, Sis? My swordsmanship has improved quite a bit, wouldn't you say? Indeed. As a reward, I'll allow you to purchase this eggplant. Who the hell are you?! All they have in common is the pigtails... Looks like Uni's caught the same illness. Thanks for everything, Sis. We'll live happily ever after. Kekeke. Come, my little lovelies. Let us seal our vows with a little licking! Please, no licking... Gross... No... Same here. Don't you worry! Histoire remembered the remedy for it as well. Right? Yes. If you boil a Walkthrough Flower and ingest it, you'll be cured of this illness in no time. Really? Where can I find one? Their numbers have really dwindled lately. I hear they used to grow in some caves near the Lowee-Lastation border, but I'm not sure if that still holds. So long as we have the slightest chance... ...we'll go look for it! But this isn't enough. Don't you have any other information? There's one other place that's rumored to have it, but it's quite far away. I'll go as far as I have to! That's right. We have to do this for the girls! Is that so? Well, the place in question... Yahoo! Who would've thought this "faraway" place would lie in another dimension? I had no idea our Histoire had learned how to open dimensional portals! Look! That must be this dimension's Planeptune. We can see Plutia there... Yeah, and... P-ko too! Huh? Wait, what? Whaaat? Ow... And here I wanted to transform and make a graceful landing! Why?! Maybe we can't activate our HDD forms in this dimension. Blanc! And... Oh? M-Me? Zoinks! Noire too? Hey, what's the big idea? An indecipherable algorithm How could you just fall on me like that? And a long-awaited installation Don't you have an ounce of sense in your body? There's nothing wrong with kicking back and relaxing This is weird. Noire and Blanc should be over at the caves right now. So pick the easy mode Oh, I know! We don't notice the missing pixels This must be a fake Noire! Impostoire for short! Or what they signify That's not shorter at all. And before we know it, we're locked into nightmare mode And I'm not a fake. For that matter, who are you? Me? I'm... But you hold all the flags in your hand Neppy! A single button press can change everything Vert! So open up that hidden treasure chest Hey, Plutia! We meet again. And complete this quest I'm glad to see you made it. Rules, regulations, and the end of the world So you're the ones Plutia told us about... Are all story elements we don't need The goddesses of the other dimension, I take it? Let's aim for a new world We're the CPUs here. What? Twinkle, twinkle Gracie*Star But I did tell you. Build a bridge connecting the past That there was a Noire, Blanc, and Vert in this dimension too. To a brand new future Really? Did you really tell us that they were such spitting images? History keeps on repeating itself I did too. Deck it in the colors of a rainbow Do I look that similar to your Blanc? And grab hold Totally. You two look and talk the same! Of a hyperdimensional victory Looks like your personalities are the same, too. Twinkle, twinkle Fortune*Star That means the Noire you know must also be a top-tier CPU. And lead us to a brand new day Right. I guess Noire's a loner over here too. Let's aim for Say what? A hyperdimensional victory It really is the size that counts, isn't it? And grab hold Indeed. Size rules the world. Of an ultradimensional victory Double boing! She's twice as annoying today. Man, it just wouldn't feel right without this. Such a soothing sight. Welcome. Whoa! It's this dimension's Histoire! So tiny! So cute! R-Really? Hey, Plutia, lemme have your Histoire! No can do. Spoilsport. P-ko... Come here, P-ko! Nep... tun... Oh, it's fine. Both Neptune and Neptuna are fine by me. Call me whatever you want. You'll still be the same to me. Now, come on! Nep... Neptuna! P-ko! Neptuna! P-ko! So weak, Neptuna! I see you've made a full recovery, P-ko. That's where we'll find the Walkthrough Flowers? The Cursed Hell Devil Death Bloody Spectral Tower. Apparently they're at the top of the tower, on the 10,000th floor. The 10,000th floor? That's one crazy name. It must be filled with super-dangerous monsters, right? Indeed. I couldn't begin to tell you. If it weren't for this situation, we wouldn't want to go anywhere near it either. Wait, "we"? We're coming with you. You can't transform, right? P'll go too! Gotta keep Neptuna safe! Thanks, Plutia... All of you... Thank you too, P-ko. Um, please don't forget. The portal back to your dimension will open in three hours. Here. The next time we'll be able to open one will be three whole years from now! So be sure to make it back to the Basilicom in time! But, you know, isn't it impossible to go up and down 10,000 floors in three hours? It says here that there's a warp point near the top floor that'll let you get out in an instant. Three hours is enough time for a one-way trip. Still feels like cutting it close. Not like we have a choice, though. All right. Let's head to the Cursed Blah Blah Spectral Tower! Who'd've thought we'd find a newly-constructed elevator that takes you directly from the 4th floor to the 9,999th? But that two-and-a-half-hour elevator ride wore me out. By the way, it says we have to use a warp point to get to the top floor from here. It also says there are some formidable monsters on this floor. Yes. They're already here. These look tough. Makes me wanna go wild! I'll join you. We'll take care of these scrubs! Go on ahead, ladies. Thanks! We'll take you up on that offer! There are two warp points, Bert! You're right. Wait, "Bert"? Did you just call me Bert? Yup. Bert! What's up, Vert? She called me by a nickname for the first time. Are you crying? Now, of all times? Vert's been longing for someone to do that, huh? Here are some more. It's finally my turn! Me too! Now bring it on! I'll hold them while you reach the climax, girls. Glad to see you haven't changed. Thanks anyway! Whoa, that was close! This one leads upstairs. Made it to the top! There should be Walkthrough Flowers somewhere around here. P'll look for it! Yeah. Let's split up! Make like a kangaroo... and hop! This is it! I found some! Neptune?! This thing's way too huge! Run for it! Not this way too! We're done for! Neptuna! P-ko. Neptuna, Bert, run! Okay, thanks! Almost there. Stop that! Lemme go! Vert... I'll take these, Neptune, but you'd better make it back too. Got it! I'll be right there, P-ko! Hey! Let her go! Neptuna... P-ko! Hurry, Plutia. Oh, I should open the portal. Wait. Neptune's not here yet. Don't you have to get those flowers to Gear and gang? Stop bullying Neptuna! Let's go, P-ko! Okay, Neptuna! I'm opening the portal. Please take care of Neptune. I'm sure Neppy'll be just fine. Neptuna... Why didn't you go? You were in trouble. How could I possibly leave you behind? But... That's not all. I wanted to fight with you. This time as allies. Neptuna... Hey! What are you still doing here? Good work, ladies. Don't give us that. What will you do now? Don't sweat it. Things'll work out somehow. I'm the protagonist, after all. Right? Let's get back to the Basilicom for now. Huh? That's weird. Should I take it out and blow on it? Don't be so rough... That surprised me! What just happened? Neptune? Peashy, too. How? Noire, Blanc... Huh? Huuuh? What? No way. Me? I'm here too. What's going on? Are they your dimension's Noire and Blanc? Yeah. That means... Did I just cross dimensions due to a malfunctioning warp point? Go me! I'm not the protagonist for nothing! Brotagonist! You really do look just like me. That's a cute outfit. As is yours. I can't believe this. Hey, are you... Wh-What is it? Are you a loner? Say what?! Don't, Peashy! I only just upgraded to the new model! Gotta play with Nepgear! I will, I will! Please, just give that back! That's P-ko for you. So the portal that opened due to that malfunction is still open? Can we use it to go back and forth all we want now? Probably. It should be fine for a while. In that case, I'd like to meet Compa and my counterparts in the other dimension sometime. Yeah. I'd love to meet them too! I thought this might come up, so I brought a picture of them. No way. They're kids? Iffy looks so cute! N-No, Compa's cuter. Oh, it's done! What's going on? You'll find out soon enough. Here. For you. Wait, is this... Peashy made it. P's pudding! That's amazing, P-ko. There's enough for everyone. All right, girls. Let's make a toast with P-ko's pudding! To Planeptune, to the two dimensions, and to Gamindustri... Cheers!
