(Yn POV)

Few days later. We've headed to Lastation to ask this nation CPU Candidate and find the mascot.

Nepgear: Wow, Lastation is chock full of nifty gadgets and machines...!

Yn (smile): 'And there she goes. That our little gear head'.

Compa: Is this your time coming here, Ge-Ge?

Nepgear: Yes, but I've heard stories from Neptune about it. She'd bring me baggies of gears sometimes...

I see sparkles in her eyes!

Nepgear: Oooh, this place looks like so much fun for tinkering...! It'd be great if we could look around a bit...

IF: Cool your jets. We have more important things to deal with right now.

Nepgear: Y-Yeah, you're right. We have to do our best, or Lastation will be in danger... Must. Not. Window shop.

Yn: Don't worry, Nepgear. Whenever we have time. We'll do some window shopping. I've been here multiple times. I can show you around.

Neptune (🤩): Really?! Okay!

Arrived at Lastation The Guild. IF and Compa do some recon while Nepgear and I accept a few quests. Headed toward the quest boards as we saw a girl with long black hair, wears black and white trim color ribbons on her hair. Red eyes, wears black white trim color dress whose checking the quest boards too.

Nepgear: Excuse me, I'd like to see what quests are available.

Uni/Black Sister

Age: 16

Uni: Excuse me, I'd like to see what quests are available.

Nepgear: Huh?

Uni: Hmm?

Yn: 'And their fate has been cross'.

Nepgear: 'She looks like to be my age... Should such a young human girl really take on such dangerous work'?

Uni: You two are here to do quests, too?

Nepgear: Huh? Me? Y-Yes, that's right.

Uni: Huh. Are you sure about this? I mean, you guys still just a kid.

Yn: I'm eighteen. I am an adult.

Uni: Uh-huh.

The girls talks went on like canon. Letting them have their moments because Nepgear hasn't really talked to someone whose the same age as her.

Uni: My name is Uni.

Nepgear: I'm Nepgear. I hope we can become friends, Uni.

Uni: And you?

Yn: Yn Ln. Nice to meet you, Uni. I hope we'd get along.

Uni: Likewise.

Compa and IF are surprised that Nepgear made a new friend whose the same age as her. They were happy for her. Began working the Quest within this dungeon called Rebeat Resort. It's really nice here. Minus the monsters.

Uni (smile): There, all done. What did I tell you, easy or what?

Nepgear: We finished so fast... Uni, you really are strong.

Uni: Same goes for you, Nepgear. Better than I thought, anyway. Nowhere near a match for me!

Nepgear: Aw, now you're flattering me.

Uni: And your pretty strong, Yn. Never seen anyone hit a monster so hard with only punch and kicks.

Yn: Why thank you.

To be honest I was holding back a bit. Unsure what her reaction would. Afraid I'll scare Uni off. Now I have a good look at Uni, she's really cute. Don't get me wrong still think Compa, IF and Nepgear are cute too.

IF: Gaaaaah!

Yn, N, Uni: !

Nepgear: Compa? IF?

Yn: Ah!

I saw Compa and IF laying on the ground unconscious. Culprit was none other than Underling!

Underling: Heh. I got rid of the chaperones with barely any effort at all. Next up...you stupid little brats!

Yn' Didn't you ran off screaming last time?

Underling: S-shut up! I was caught off guard that's all!

Yn (🙄): Whatever you say.

Uni: Who's this?

Nepgear: I think her name is Underling. She's one of the ASIC's low ranking peons.

Underling: Told you-

Yn: Can we skip this part and just fight already? Getting bored here. Rather take on judge then deal with an Underling.

Underling (anger): That's it! Gonna swing my pipe even harder to make sure you'd scream for your mommy!

Yn: You never love as child, huh.

Underling: I don't a shrink to talk about my childhood trauma!

Yn: Yeah. Yeah. Okay, girls. Let's go!

N, U: Right!

Skip to 0:34

Skip to 0:15

Underling: You're kidding me! What the hell, man!

(3rd POV)

It didn't take that long to defeat Underling. Especially already made a battle against her from the last chapter. Anyway they were able to defend Underling as she ran away, both Nepgear and Uni were surprised by each other that their CPU Candidates.

Nepgear ask Uni help to save their sisters except........

BS: Don't come any closer!

Black Sister pointed her gun at Nepgear.

PS: Huh?

BS: Why? Why are YOU here and not my sister, huh!?

PS:.....

Uni: She didn't let me go along with her three years ago. I could've saved them if I went! I could've done what you failed to do!

Yn: Hang on! That's not fair! Don't take your frustration on Nepgear.

PS: Yn?

Yn: I can see your in pain, Uni. Let me guess....blame yourself not saving Noire?

BS: Ah! No! That's......

Yn: Nepgear was powerless against somebody who was a lot stronger than her. The same enemy defeated you'd girls sisters. If your sister taken you as well. Would've end up where Nepgear was in stasis for three years. May not know your sister personally. But my guess she knew that her and rest of CPUs were gonna face against a powerful and trusted you with her nation just in case something happens.

BS:......

Yn pat her head gently and gave a kind smile to Uni.

Yn: I promise we'll save your sister, Uni.

BS tears fell from eyes with all pint up frustration not able to help her sister and misses Noire dearly.

Yn: We'll defeat ASIC and save the CPUs. We're gonna need your help too. So please help us.

BS (sob): A-alright.

Yn: Thank you, Uni.

Purple Sister smiled that Yn was able to convince Uni to help them in their journey. But....deep down she couldn't help feel a little tightness in her heart. Quickly shrugged off. Yn helps Compa and IF finally came too. Yn went over to help them get back up slowly.

Compa: Thank you, N-N.

IF: Y-yeah. Thanks. Ouch..  Damn Underling, ambushing us from behind like that...

Compa: I'm head's gonna have a big bump...

Yn: I have aspirin for the headaches.

C, IF: Thank you.

Yn: We better head back to town and called it a day.

BS: You both can stay over at my Basilicom. It's the least I can do.

Yn (smile): Thank you, Uni. We appreciate it.

BS (blush): Don't get the wrong idea! I only need your help saving my sister. G-got it!

IF: Wait....your a CPU too?

Compa: She's like Ge-Ge.

Yn: We'll explain in the way. 'At least we have Uni in our party. Wonder who else we're gonna run into next'?
