(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

Dimension: Zero

Location: Dark Plains

June 30, 20XX

Time: Evening

I am seen walking along through a rather more corrupted looking part of Gamindustri as I have my combat clothes on ready to be of assistance for some allies that Neptune, Nepgear, and Histoire explained to me back in Planeptune. We picked up some readings that the Virus Empire may be sighted in this part of Gamindustri too which is called Zero Dimension. It's quite a long walk, but I'm not complaining too much as I've been through four reactors and kicked ass in all of them and I plan to do the same here.

(Y/N): (This is Zero Dimension, huh? Histoire told me to find one of their friends, Uzume who should be lurking in a hideout somewhere. Still, this place looks pretty dangerous as much as a reactor so I should keep my guard up. From what Neptune said, Uzume is the tomboy type of girl so I shouldn't be surprised if she acts cool. . . As a matter of fact, our conversation about the whole thing was weird enough. . .)

(Flashback)

Earlier in the Morning. . .

Dimension: Hyper

Location: Planeptune's Basilicom

Time: Late Morning

I am currently sitting with Neptune and Nepgear as we were listening to some information that Histoire was giving to us. She called us about an urgent matter and I'm guessing it was about Virus Empire if it's an emergency.

Neptune: *sighs* I'm lucky that it wasn't Mini-Histy calling for emergencies this time in Plutie's Basilicom. God knows that joke has gotten old fast in that game.

Histoire did not like that joke that Neptune made as she proceeds to scold her.

Histoire: Be quiet! Now is NO time for any foolish talk at the moment!

Neptune: Well geez, Histy. I was only trying to brighten the mood.

I simply just deadpan at Neptune not taking this seriously.

(Y/N): You need to remember the "when" in trying to brighten the mood, Nep.

Nepgear: What's the matter, Histoire? Is it about the Virus Empire?

Histoire: Yes. I thank you for telling me when you got back from Plutia's Basilicom that you were attacked by two of the generals that were from the Virus Empire. Apparently, we're having that problem again, but in a rather unexpected area.

Nepgear: Really? Where?

Histoire: The Zero Dimension part of Gamindustri.

This alarms all of us as they must've expanded their attention to that place for the same reason that they were in the Ultra Dimension. There must be another CPU there that they're trying to abduct.

Nepgear: Oh no! Uzume!

Neptune: Come on, Virus Emperors. It's one thing to attack the protagonist of the story, but its another to go after her best friends. First Plutie and now Uzume. I take it you want us to fly there ourselves and take care of the situation, Histy?

Histoire: Actually, when I received the call, Uzume sounded like she was able to hold herself just fine against the Virus Empire. She told me that they just tried raiding her base, but they were able to kick them out before they could do any collateral damage. She still said that assistance would be helpful if we could send any.

Nepgear felt relieved to hear that her friend was okay.

Nepgear: Phew! That's good to hear.

Histoire: However, it appears that I must only send one of you there to the Zero Dimension.

Neptune: Huh? Why's that, Histy? We're all a team, so why not let us go together?

Histoire then gives a rather peeved look at Neptune.

Histoire: Well for starters, I believed that I remember asking you and Nepgear as well to finish some overdue paperwork that was needed to be filled out two weeks ago. . .

This surprises Neptune that she had something overdue in Planeptune.

Neptune: Nep-what? How do I have something overdue??

Histoire: That shouldn't be a question as I've reminded you countless to get it done and you have done absolutely nothing. Nepgear, you continue to spoil Neptune as well not telling her that her responsibilities are important. With something like this overdue, it would take me three days or three months to complete the amount that's needed to be done.

Nepgear: I'm sorry. . . I guess I tend to have a small habit of encouraging Neptune to be more lazy when I don't realize it.

(Y/N): Well, I'd put more of the dirt on Nep since she tries to be lazy all of the time on purpose.

Neptune glares at me as she even points a finger at my face making me deadpan at her before I hear her retort.

Neptune: Hey! Who said you were allowed to judge here, buddy? I already have a lot of work taking care of you here anyway.

(Y/N): . . .It's more of the opposite now that I'm pretty much living here with you, Nep.

Histoire: Therefore while Neptune and Nepgear get their work done here, I'll have to send you over there, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Me?!

Histoire: You have shown five times in a row that you are able to handle the Virus Empire liberating out nations. I have confidence that you can possibly go to the Zero Dimension on your own this time.

Neptune: Dang it! (N/N)'s stealin' my spotlight. . . Again!

(Y/N): Who said anything about you having a spotlight in all of this?

Neptune: Whatever, soldier boy. You're even more lucky to leave us here in the dust while you see Uzume and the other me.

(Y/N): You mentioned those two before. What about them should I know?

Nepgear: Uzume is actually a CPU of Planeptune similar to us as well, (Y/N).

This shocks me hugely as there are four CPUs from Planeptune that I know now if you count Uranus.

(Y/N): Really?!

Nepgear: Well. . . she's a former CPU. She was sealed away in the past due to her people fearing her power which led to that event of her getting sealed like we said. However, we were able to restore her memories while adventuring with her fighting against the Zero Dimension's Arfoire, the Dark CPUs, and Uzume's other half.

(Y/N): Wait, other half?

Neptune: She's talking about Kurome. It's a nickname that I. . . well my other self came up with. Speaking of which, maybe Histy might be right to send you over there (N/N) as I'll technically still be there with you. . . just not in this mind.

I facepalm from that as that makes no sense at all. I swear, if the Virus Empire isn't the one that will keep my damn head spinning, its going to be Nep making up stuff that doesn't even make a lick of sense.

(Y/N): That's not how that really works, Nep. If you said that you didn't have any problems with your other self being linked to you then you two clearly have different psyches.

Neptune: I know. I was just trying to sound smart. . . And make sure that doesn't melt your brain into gum.

(Y/N): Again! Not the same thing! . . .Actually, a brain does kind of look like gum if you. . . No! Quit messing with my head, Neptune!

Neptune just giggles from messing with me like this as I shoot her an annoyed look. Nepgear and Histoire didn't seem too appealed from Neptune joking at a time like this either.

Histoire: *sighs* Ignoring Neptune's comments, it wouldn't be too much trouble to ask you to help Uzume and see how the Zero Dimension' state is, right (Y/N)?

(Y/N): *nods* I'll take care of it, Histoire.

Histoire: Good.

Nepgear: Please be careful, (Y/N).

(Y/N): You don't need to worry about me, Nepgear. I wasn't prepared to fight Hijack and Canker in the other Planeptune, but this time I'll be ready in case those other two generals have some tricks up their sleeves.

Neptune: Hehe. I bet that they keep their armies up their sleeveies as well. I wonder what (N/N) is going to bring to fight those numbers. His left army or his right army.

That joke just makes Nepgear and I sweatdrop as I don't know how to respond to that.

(Y/N): Wha. . . What does that even mean?

Nepgear: I don't have a clue either, (Y/N). . .

Histoire: It will take me three hours to create the coordinates of the Zero Dimension for you (Y/N), so you will have to give me some time before you can depart.

This makes me smirk as three hours is honestly plenty of time for me.

(Y/N): You kidding? That'll give me plenty of time to prep myself too with training and restock some items too. . .

Neptune was about to say something before I glare daggers at her again.

(Y/N): I swear if you're about to make another joke that makes NO sense at all, I am going to beat you senseless, Neptune.

You know things are getting serious when I don't call Neptune by her nickname. She sweats from that as she looks back and forth a bit before standing up and she takes a step back. . . before blurting something out.

Neptune: You'll need to restock your "train" ride back too!

(Y/N): You!!!

I get up and start to chase Neptune around the Basilicom as she just runs for her life trying to get away from me so I don't pummel her until she get's knocked out. Nepgear and Histoire simply watch the two of us with sighs as they also know how annoying Neptune gets with her antics.

(End of Flashback)

In the end, I was to give Neptune a tiny little love tap for being a little immature back there, but despite her antics, she's still a great friend of mine so she doesn't really get on my nerves too much. As I'm still walking though, I keep wondering to myself on what Nepgear was talking about with Uzume being a previous CPU. This is rather strange. . . Uranus is also a predecessor to Neptune and I somehow know her from the past. I can't reveal this to my friends yet though as I don't know how they would react. I haven't heard any information from IF or Compa either.

(Y/N): (CPUs. . . just how exactly do they all function from one to another? And what does their predecessors have to do with me?)

Suddenly, my thought was interrupted as I heard an explosion coming from the distance and I look to where that explosion was coming and it looked to be coming from just ahead as I see in that direction, smoke was coming out from what looked to be like a rebel type hideout you would see in an anime. That alarms me as that must mean that their friend, Uzume must be in trouble. I get a serious look as I summon my sword and run towards the hideout as fast as I can so that I could be of assistance.

(Insert Your Favorite JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Opening Here)

Location: Uzume's Hideout

I run up to where this decently large base is and as I got closer, I could see some Virus Soldiers and Virus Brutes trying to raid the place as it got me worried to what's happening in there with the CPU and her friends. I quickly swap out my sword for my gun before running behind a corner of the base so the pack wouldn't be able to notice me. I peek from behind the corner and aim my gun straight at some of the soldiers while also trying my best to not make any noise. I activate my watch as it channels some energy into my gun and I took a couple of shots that hit three of the soldiers point blank which took their focus off of the base.

Virus Soldier: What the hell??

Virus Soldier 2: There's someone else here!

The soldiers and brutes that were outside took their focus off of entering the base for the moment and started looking around to see where the threat was coming from while having swords and guns in their hands. In an instant, I jumped up towards the horde without them noticing me and in the blink of an eye, as I already landed on the ground, all of the soldiers were already sliced up and turned into bits. I'm so glad that I decided to train instead of sit around doing nothing like Neptune. I then go towards the base and enter it and once I do, I hear a couple of voices which make me stop in my tracks for a second.

???: Keep 'em coming, you bastards! There's not always strength in numbers!

???: Yeah, what she said!

That made me think that they were fine at first, until I heard the sound of a scream in pain coming from the second girl.

???: Nepsy! Are you okay?!

(Y/N): (Nepsy. . .? Does she mean Neptune? Wait, speaking of it. . . that voice sounded a lot like Neptune's. . . but a little deeper.)

Neptune?: Aw, dang it! That actually hurt!

???: Hold on tight, Nepsy! I'll. . . Gah!

That was my cue to come out from my hiding spot to see what was going on and once I do, I see some brutes surrounding two girls and to my huge shock. . . one of them looked almost identical to Neptune like she stated, except she was wearing a black parka dress and she also had black D-pad clips in her hair too. Her along with another girl was on the ground a little bit hurt from their attacks. The second girl had long carnelian-red hair is worn in low pigtails and she was wearing a black tube top, paired with an opened white shirt that has grey detail and a clasp around the navel to match her grey pleat shorts, which are held by black suspender straps, along with an orange tie too.

One of the Brutes tried attacking her again, but the second girl pulled out a megaphone and yelled into the Brute's face which caused it to cover his ears from how loud that was and the girl kick him back along with his partner.

???: We can't let them keep this up. If they keep coming back to the base like this and not give us time to rest, then we'll for sure be abducted just like they want.

Neptune?: So what? We kicked butt the last couple of times, so we just need to do it again and again until they give up. They'll run out of waves eventually. . .

???: I guess that's our only choice, but I don't think "eventually" is soon enough, Nepsy. This guys pack quite a punch for even the two of us to handle.

(Y/N): Thankfully. . . I'm here to fix that!

???: Huh??

https://youtu.be/cRevQgH4bnY

I instantly came from behind the two Brutes and I jumped over them before doing a spinning roundhouse kick to one of the brutes before slashing them away with my sword. The two were surprised from seeing me appear as their eyes widen in shock.

???: Another one? Who the hell are you?

(Y/N): I'm here to help. You guys asked for some backup, right?

Neptune?: *smiles* Whoa! Nice dramatic entrance, dude!

(Y/N): Thanks, but right now I'm going to need your help too as there's still more soldiers about to come in too.

???: You sure you can hold your own? I mean not to underestimate you, but we had those things weakened before you came in.

I smirk at the girl as I help both her and the other Neptune up.

(Y/N): Looks can be deceiving. That's what they always you know.

The girl then smirks back at me as she lifts up her megaphone.

???: In that case, provide me some cover while I'm taking of some of those guys, alright?

(Y/N): Count on it!

All of us then lined up with our weapons out as the Neptune right beside me who I'll just call Adult Neptune from now on pulls out two swords, dual wielding them. We all see some more Virus Soldiers and Virus Brutes come in with weapons ready to fight as we're all ready to battle as well. I go first as I decided to use Slamming Surge to cause a shockwave big enough to knock all of the soldiers down, but not the Brutes. This gave Adult Neptune the opportunity to attack next as she rushes forward before swinging her swords one by one in a fast pace before kicking all of the soldiers away and they turn into bits.

The girl next to me yells in her megaphone at the brutes right behind them as they cover their ears before I see her do something similar to my move Golden Knuckle as she puts Share energy into her fist before running up to one of the Brutes calling out her move.

???: Dream Smash Fist!

She uppercuts the Brute right in the face which knocks it back where it came from and I was pretty impressed from her strength as I smile at her.

(Y/N): Damn. You're pretty strong.

???: Heh. You've got some skills yourself there, kid. Mind showing me more?

(Y/N): Oh, I'm just gettin' started.

I run up to the other brute and he tries to attack me by slamming his fist down on me which I evade just in time for me to do a backflip kick onto him. I then infuse some Share energy into my sword which the girl noticed with a shocked look.

???: (Whoa! Histoire was being serious? This guy can project Share energy just like me, Nepsy, and Gearsy?? Impressive. . .)

I take a few more sword slashes at the brute before I finish it off with doing a front flip with my sword to slash the brute from overhead. He disappears into bits and we don't see anymore enemies around which means that we've won and liberated this place back. I put my sword on my back as I can't put it back in my inventory quite yet due to knowing that if soldiers were still able to come then the generals are not far off from here. The two girls put their weapons away and walk up to me with smiles on their faces.

???: So you're the guy that from Nepsy's and Gearsy's Planeptune that they sent here to provide some help?

(Y/N): That's right.

We both fist bump each other as a greeting.

???: That was serious perseverance right there. If I'm being honest, you were pretty cool and being cool is kickass to me.

(Y/N): Heh, heh. Right back at you. . . Um. . .

Uzume: Oh, right! Where are my intros? Name's Uzume Tennouboshi. Kickass CPU of Planeptune, kickass friend of Nepsy, and kickass fighter too.

(Y/N): I can tell. . .

Uzume then takes a closer look at (Y/N) and tilts her head to the side in slight confusion.

Uzume: Hey. . . you look. . . kind of familiar. . . Have we met somewhere before or is that just my imagination?

(Y/N): Um. . . pretty much the latter since this is my first time meeting you. . .

However, as I say that. . . I see some kind of weird image pop up around this girl named Uzume as it went away in an instant. I don't what it was, but now something is telling me that I've met Uzume somewhere before too. . . I don't know exactly who I am and telling them might make them think a little bit more than they need to, so I just let it go. The bigger looking Neptune then walks up to me with a smile.

Adult Neptune: So you come from the place where the little me is? That explains so much. She taught you well. Perhaps you may have some light energy in those fists to eliminate vampires or something too?

(Y/N): . . .Yeah. You can put it that way if you want to, other Neptune.

Adult Neptune: No need to get your mind more confused than it already is, buddy. Just call anything you want, Big Nep, Big Nepsy, Big Neppers. I don't really care.

(Y/N): I'll just stick with Big Nep then. My name is (Y/N), but my friends call me (N/N).

Adult Neptune: (N/N), huh? Alright, I'll remember that lesson as a Baldi basic.

(Y/N): (Okay. . . I'm totally convinced that this is Neptune. . . She's as bubbly and she makes weird gaming references too like crazy. . . I really don't want to see those two get into a single room with me around. . . It'll be the end of the world.)

I then get a serious look.

(Y/N): Alright, now that we've got everything under control for the time being. Do you guys know where the generals are in your dimension?

Adult Neptune: Generals? Oh, you mean those boss level looking soldiers colored in white and green? Yeah, we've seen them.

Uzume: We attempted to take care of everything ourselves, but fighting them once was a hassle that I needed to come back here and refresh, that's when all of those soldiers came back and followed us here to try and take us out. Luckily, you were here though as it would probably be way harder to take care of those things without you.

(Y/N): *smiles* No need for flattery, Uzume. I'm just doing the right thing. And the right thing to do right now is to protect Gamindustri from evil doers like the Virus Empire.

Uzume: *nods* I respect that noble attitude of yours, (N/N)-sy.

I raise an eyebrow from that nickname that Uzume all of a sudden gave me.

(Y/N): (N/N)-sy?

Uzume: It's a nickname that I came up for you myself. I do it with pretty much all of my friends too. Cool, right?

(Y/N): Wow. . . That's new. . . First, Compa gives me (N/N), and now you give me (N/N)-sy. Damn, how did I not think of such cool nicknames myself?

Uzume: Glad you like it. Now (N/N)-sy, we'll fill you in on what's happening here in our place.

We all sat down somewhere and there was even a little bit of food that Uzume and Adult Neptune grew and offered to me which I accepted. . . for some reasons many of them were shiitake mushrooms which Uzume seemed glad to get rid of. As we talked, I told them about how I have this watch that's locked onto me and it provides me the Share energy needed to produce my powers for battling foes. They then told me how the generals were hiding in the city somewhere and they appeared to be just generating more and more soldiers to come and capture Uzume since she was a CPU. They tried fighting them off, but they were overwhelmed by how powerful they were as generals themselves so they ran back here.

Uzume: You don't have to worry now though. I'm fully prepared to take down those generals and give them a proper beatdown that they deserve for messing with us.

(Y/N): Hold on! You're the only here who can transform, right?

Uzume: Yeah, why?

(Y/N): It may be best that we try to take out one at a time instead of both a the same time. Neptune and I along with our friend Peashy, took on both generals and they were way more powerful than when I fought them the first time. Bane and Malware, who we're going up against may be even stronger too.

Uzume: Hmm. . . Alright, I guess you've got a point. But how will we separate the two if they're clearly paired with each other?

(Y/N): I haven't gotten that far yet. . . but I'm sure something will come up.

Uzume smirks at me not really coming up with a fool-proof plan.

Uzume: Tend to do things the easy way most of time too?

I sheepishly laugh from that as I rub the back of my head in slight embarrassment.

(Y/N): Yeah. . . sometimes. . .

Uzume: Join the club. . . We've all done those kinds of things on a weekly basis.

Adult Neptune: Hey! You callin' me reckless? I take offense to that.

(Y/N): *sweatdrops* You may not be my Neptune. . . but I'm sure from what I just heard from Uzume that you're just as impulsive. . .

Adult Neptune: Oh, come on. You're one to talk, buddy.

???: Nah. I agree with the kid. You're a reckless airhead. . . And can you let me out of this damn book already?!

I heard a voice and look around wondering who said that before Adult Neptune pulls out a book and opens it to where I see the picture of some wings that look somewhat similar to Histoire's, but in a more dark tone.

Adult Neptune: Now Crostie, you know that I can't do that~

Crostie: All of the dimensions are collided into one which I can feel, so you have nowhere to dimension hop to! And also it's so cramped in here!

Adult Neptune: Sorry, but you'll just have to deal with it. . . The moment that I let you out of there you'll just cause some mischief, naughty one.

I stare at the book with confusion as how can wings like that talk without a mouth. . . or even eyes for that matter.

(Y/N): Uh, Big Nep. . . who or what is that?

I point at the wings that Big Nep had in her book and she holds it in front of her to give me a better look.

Adult Neptune: This Croire, or Crostie if you want to give her a nickname, (N/N). She's basically this tiny little tome like Histoire who loves messing up stuff all over the place just for fun. Like the entire dimension is her playground.

(Y/N): Huh. She sounds like trouble.

Croire: Damn right I'm trouble, brat. Seeing chaos happen in the world is what I love to see. That's why I don't mind the Virus Empire being here at all. They can wreak havoc for all I care about.

(Y/N): Oh, put a cork in it you pesky little midget! And how do you even know the Virus Empire anyway?

Croire: Ha! Like hell I'm giving somebody like you information! Ask them yourself!

I gain a slight tick mark from that as she must be an expert at getting on your nerves.

(Y/N): (I already hate her. . .)

Adult Neptune: And that's why I'm not letting her go anytime soon. . . or even ever.

Croire: You won't hold me in here that long. I'm sure of it.

Adult Neptune: You know what they say. . . don't count your chickens before they break or whatever. . .

Uzume: Despite her being the pessimistic of us, we just let her stick around to be contained no matter how annoying she gets.

(Y/N): Yeah. . . she's already pissing me off. . .

???: Well, there is no need for you to get upset. We are all friends here just like how you're friends with Nepsy and Gearsy.

I hear another strange voice as I look around again.

(Y/N): Okay, either somehow I'm a psychic without even knowing it. . . I have another conscious (Which I kind of do due to Uranus giving me those strange memories. . .), or I'm hearing things. . . Why do random voices keep popping out of nowhere?!

Uzume looks down and sees something which made her smile.

Uzume: Oh, Umio. I didn't notice you came back so soon.

Umio: I was just ensuring that the other peaceful monsters were safe here. It appears that you've made a new friend I see. . .

I see where Uzume is looking and I look down to see that there was a fish. . . and not just a fish. . . it was a fish with the face of a man which made me give the funniest look in history as I was weirded out by what this thing is.

Umio: Hello. From what I heard from Nepsy and Uzume, you must be (N/N)-sy, correct?

I stare at this fish and blink twice. . . before I jump up with extreme shock.

(Y/N): OOOOHHHH! MYYYYY! GOOOOOD!

Umio sighs and shakes his head with a small smile.

Umio: I seem to have that effect on almost everybody I meet, but I don't blame them.

Uzume: Neither do I, but it's something we all have to go through. (N/N)-sy, no need to be so jumpy. This is a friend of ours, Umio.

(Y/N): I-I get that. . . but. . . WHAT IS HE?!

Umio: What? Have you never seen such a handsome fish such as myself?

Umio strikes some sort of pose with his fish body as I sweatdrop and just stare not really knowing how to respond to any of this.

(Y/N): Th-That. . . is probably the fifth strangest thing that I've seen so far while traveling around all of Gamindustri. . .

Umio: *chuckles* I'm sure there may be a point where you find something stranger than me.

(Y/N): Y-Yeah. . . probably. . .

Umio: Anyways, you all seem to be in quite the dilemma with coming up with a plan to fight the enemy that wishes to eliminate us.

Uzume: Almost. . . (N/N)-sy suggested that we try and take them out one at a time, but the question is how exactly we're going to do that?

Adult Neptune suddenly beamed from that as she looked at us and raised her hand up high as if wanting to be called on by a teacher or something.

Adult Neptune: Oooh! Me! Pick me! Pick me!

I sigh with a forced smile before pointing at Adult Neptune. Whatever she has planned for us to take on the two generals, I have no idea, but I hope it's nothing too stupid.

(Y/N): Yes. . . Big Nep?

Adult Neptune: What if. . . we take one of them on from above? Like high up on one of those huge platforms that you see in the city?

We all looked at Adult Neptune for a second as we all stared at her wondering if she had grown a second head or not before we looked at each other thinking about that idea. . . as it's honestly not a bad one at all.

Third P.O.V.

Location: Nameless Ruins

In the large ruined city that looked to be destroyed in almost every part where you would go, a ton of Virus Soldiers could be seen marching and following the two generals, Bane and Malware as they look to be planning something. Unbeknownst to them, on top of a large building, (Y/N), Uzume, and Adult Neptune were on top of the building along with Umio as well witnessing them and watching closely.

(Y/N): I knew it! Bane and Malware! Despite Hijack being the most prideful out of them all, Bane and Malware are two very powerful sons of bitches!

Uzume: How so. . .?

(Y/N): Bane can hit you hard like a tank and he's pretty persistent while Malware can just summon an arsenal of weapons out of nowhere. Malware is pretty fragile though, so if you get a hit in, you'll be lucky.

Umio: We should be high enough in the air to where they cannot hear us, so how should we divert them from each other?

As Umio says that, (Y/N) hears some voices coming from below as he puts a finger over his mouth to tell the others to keep quiet for now so they can listen in on what the two are planning.

General Malware: Are the new weapons ready for launching?

General Bane: Yeah. Enough with sending the army there. . . We'll just blow the hell out of that CPU and that little shack of hers till its dust, so she'll have no point but to surrender to us.

Uzume growls a little bit in anger from that.

Uzume: (I'd like to see you try you assholes.)

General Bane: Go there and set them up. I'll keep an eye out for if that CPU or anymore stowaways try to get in the way of our execution.

Malware nods from that as he teleports out of sight for nobody to see and the rest were surprised from how quickly they were able to get the situation into their favor.

Umio: That. . . was easier than we thought. . .

Uzume: Almost too easy. . . Not that I'm complaining. . . The guy's name is Bane, right (N/N)-sy? Well, even with those hordes of soldiers, I'm ready to kick some ass, what about you?

(Y/N) nods from that as he lifts up his watch and powers it on which shows the symbol of the Sharicite.

(Y/N): Hell yeah!

Adult Neptune then pulls out her swords with a fierce smile on her face.

Adult Neptune: We've got him right where we want him! Let's pack him a one-way ticket to the next realm.

However, just as the team was about to jump off of the building to ambush their foe. . . they got ambushed themselves as a large red rope was suddenly wrapped all of them.

(Y/N)/Uzume/Adult Neptune: Nani?!/Crap!/Nep-what?!

General Malware: Psyche!

All three of them turned around to see that the voice belong to none other than Malware who was holding a glowing red rope on all of them and it was already to tight for all four of them to try to escape as they tried their best to break free.

General Malware: Looks like I've caught myself three big ones and one of them is going to be a freshly served CPU for my master.

(Y/N): How in the hell did you know we were up here?! We were like a hundred meters off of the ground?

General Malware: Don't think that we're dumb enough to think that you wouldn't come for us while we were still here. . . Not that we know that you're here and not at your base, it'll be easier to drop bombs on them and blow it up.

Uzume: Who in the hell do you think you are trying to terrorize a CPUs' nation like this? Not only that, but according to (N/N)-sy here, you also attempted to terrorize the nations of my friends in the other part of Gamindustri like Nepsy!

General Malware: It's a job. . . and also a little bit of competition as well. Something that I don't mind playing once in awhile. . . but no matter the cost, I'm always going to win.

(Y/N): This coming from the guy who tried cheating us in the base in Leanbox and didn't have a lot of failsafes to keep in mind of.

This struck a nerve on Malware as he sends an electric shock on his rope making all of them wince in pain from the impact.

(Y/N): Ack! Electric shock?! I thought only Bane could do that?!

General Malware: Oh, you wanna know something too kid? We swapped of our abilities as we thought that it would throw off your strategy on how to combat our fighting style. A little bit of surprises that we had in stock. . . Speaking of throwing off. . .

Malware pulls on the rope holding the four in place before he was able to swing it around immensely and he tosses them off of the building.

General Malware: I don't think I'll see you after this "fall." Ha! See what I did there!

As they were all falling off of the building, (Y/N) was barely able to pull his hand out of the rope to grab it which confused Uzume.

Uzume: (N/N)-sy, what are you up to?!

(Y/N) doesn't respond to that as he summons out his sword and looks back up the direction that they were falling.

(Y/N): You wanna talk surprises? Well I'm full of them!

Adult Neptune: Wait, what?! If you're going to fly, then I don't think that you'll be fast enough to touch the sky, (N/N)! We're fallin' way fast and can't even float like a Jigglypuff!

(Y/N): I have something else in mind, Big Nep. . . Check this out!

https://youtu.be/hF7pEU-jyBQ

(Y/N) throws his sword upwards towards the building, but there was a catch with it as the rope was connected to the handle and (Y/N) grabs the rest before throwing it down to Adult Neptune and Uzume. They were surprised how (Y/N) thought of that so quickly as Adult Neptune looked impressed while Uzume smirks.

Adult Neptune: Whoa-ho-ho! You used the rope on your sword to throw it into the building like a grappling hook!

Uzume: Huh. Not bad (N/N)-sy. Hey, I've got a question for you. . .

Uzume aims her megaphone below her and yells into it which propels all of them into the air.

Uzume: YOU LIKE SUMO?!

As they are all launched up into the air, the general notices this with a shocked expression. Uzume smirks at (Y/N) who smirks back at her as she had her fists balled up as if ready to punch something.

Uzume: And I mean specifically deadlocks that bounce you around the edges of the ring! It's exciting, isn't it?!

As soon as they reach back to the top where the general was, Uzume fires a barrage of fast punches using her move, Dream Combo while yelling out a familiar battle cry.

Uzume: ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORAAAAA!

Uzume punches Malware back off of the building as she perfectly lands on the building while (Y/N) and Adult Neptune didn't stick their landing and landed on their stomachs. Adult Neptune raised her head with swirls in her eyes while (Y/N) shakes his head before smiling at Uzume.

(Y/N): Yeah. . . I am somewhat of a fan of sumo. . . But Uzume. . . isn't it against the rules to punch your opponent in sumo?

Uzume smirks back at (Y/N) as they both share a fist bump with each other.

Umio: Thanks to your quick thinking, we were able to get out of a rather shocking predicament that was unexpected, (N/N)-sy.

(Y/N): No problem, guys.

(Y/N) then looks back at the edge of the building with a serious look.

(Y/N): Looks like we'll need a Plan B though since they already know that we're here.

Adult Neptune: Oooh! Wait! I've another plan actually. . . It's a Plan P! P as in pudding, pudding~

This comment earns a smack to the head from (Y/N) who wasn't really in the mood for pointless jokes at the moment.

Adult Neptune: Ow! Come on! What was that for, pal?!

(Y/N): You know what! Now is a really bad time to be making jokes about how much you love pudding! Our enemies are down there waiting for us and we have nowhere to hide now!

Uzume: Uh, (N/N)-sy. . .? I don't know if we have anywhere to run either. . .

Uzume says that as (Y/N) and the others look around to see that with how high they were, it was indeed not an option to jump and (Y/N) was the only one out of them who could fly, but he could only do that with lots of Share energy from his watch.

(Y/N): Now that you mention it. . . how did we get up here?

Adult Neptune: *smiles* "How" indeed. . .

Adult Neptune looks at the camera and winks while holding up a peace sign too.

Umio: Did you bring any Share Crystals with you, Uzume?

Uzume: Nah, the last time I used one was when those guys first tried to raid our base before (N/N)-sy got here, so I don't really have a way of transforming right now. . .

(Y/N) looks at Uzume when she said that and he smiles.

(Y/N): Don't count yourself out of the picture yet, Uzume. . . Your delivery has been shipped in just one second flat. . .

Uzume looks at (Y/N) confused from that before summing up what he was referring to.

Uzume: Huh? You mean you have a Share Crystal or something that I can use to transform?

(Y/N): Duh! It's been right here in your face this entire time.

(Y/N) holds up his watch as it beeps before making his hand glow (F/C).

(Y/N): Throughout my adventures with Nep and the other CPUs, I've been using this watch to help provide Share energy for them and because that I barely used some, I've got plenty to supply for you as well.

Uzume gets a surprised face from that and suddenly Croire speaks out as well.

Croire: What the hell?! You're just a puny human who got lucky to fight a couple of soldiers earlier. . . How are you able to do something that only a CPU could most likely do?!

(Y/N): I don't answer to a loud mouth troublemaker like you. . . Find out yourself.

Croire: Aw, come on! I could possibly bring that up in seconds. . . Just a little information?

(Y/N) then pretends to think as he puts a finger to his chin.

(Y/N): Hmm. . . Let me think. . . I remember you telling me that you wouldn't share information about the Virus Empire with me. . . so why should I exchange information with you?

Adult Neptune: Ha ha! (N/N), bodied you hard with that one, Crostie!

Croire: . . .You son of a frickin' bitch.

(Y/N): *smirks* Guilty as charged. . .

Uzume puts her hand on (Y/N)'s shoulder with a fierce smile on her face before playfully punching him on the shoulder.

Uzume: (N/N)-sy. . . you're officially awesome in my book. Hands down.

(Y/N): *chuckles* Aw, shucks. You flatter me, Uzume.

Uzume: I've never seen a CPU, hell a human do something so cool! No wonder you have so much power. . .

As she said that, Uzume then did something really unexpected to (Y/N) as her voice became more high-pitched. . . and she even started speaking in the third person too.

https://youtu.be/U23XlkhUvhE

Uzume: *Daydream Mode* Uzume's really interested in what other skills you have, (N/N)-sy. Perhaps there may be even more surprises that Uzume would love to see in that cute little watch of yours. Uzume loves surprises and (N/N)-sy must be full of so much of them.

The moment (Y/N) hears this new side of Uzume. . . his reaction was a jaw dropped face as he was in so much shock that he dramatically fell back to the ground which made Adult Neptune laugh a little from how (Y/N) was taking this in for the first time. Uzume was a first a mature-sounding girl who likes it when she sees cool things and now (Y/N) sees Uzume's other side where she speaks in a more girly tone and talks in the third person.

Umio: Uzume. . . Uzume! You're doing it again. . .

Once she comes back to reality, Uzume threw a surprised glance at the shocked (Y/N) who was still on the ground and she clears her throat as he stands back up really not knowing what he just heard.

Uzume: *clears throat* S-Sorry. . . Forget what you just heard. I-It's a habit, but it doesn't happen too often. . .

(Y/N): That's going to be REALLY hard to just let go. . . WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! You just. . . changed into somebody else for a split second. . . You were speaking in the third person. . .

Umio: Calm down, (N/N)-sy. . . What you just witnessed was Uzume's original personality. . .

(Y/N): Original?

Umio: To put it brief. . . Whenever she is in this state, or you could say she is "daydreaming," her thoughts can turn into reality itself. Don't know when and how. . . but it will definitely be at an unexpected moment for all of us. . . You'll see more of this personality once she transforms. . .

(Y/N): That's. . . interesting. . .

Adult Neptune: *chuckles* Well that's one way to interpret it. . .

Uzume: *sighs* NOT cool. . .

(Y/N): Well. . . it can't be helped, I need to allow you to transform anyway. . . You ready?

Uzume: *nods* Yeah! Fire away, (N/N)!

(Y/N) was getting ready to provide Uzume some Share energy that she needed to transform before. . .

*BOOM*

https://youtu.be/FVv87koTqws

They all heard an explosion and the ground beneath them rumbles like crazy as that came from none other than the building that they were standing on which made everybody get worried looks. Adult Neptune sweatdrops as she gives a forced smile and slowly looks over to (Y/N).

Adult Neptune: Got any word to spell out how screwed we are right now, (N/N)?

(Y/N): S-H-I-T.

The entire building then comes down all around the crew as they start falling towards the surface while yelling for their lives. Uzume looks over to see that she was still near (Y/N) as she instantly grabs his hand.

Uzume: Do it now, (N/N)-sy! Once I transform, follow my lead! Got it?!

(Y/N) nods quickly as he produces Share energy in his arm which he gives to Uzume and once she feels the power coursing through her body, she transforms and now her hair grows in length and turns light orange, now worn in pigtails on top of her head held by large loops of hair. Her bangs lessen and thin out, appearing neatly brushed. Her eyes turn blue. She wears a white one-piece with orange bottoms and silver and black accents. At the middle of the chest is a section of blue fabric. This is Uzume's goddess form know as Orange Heart as she even had that girly voice that she had earlier.

Orange Heart (Uzume): Hold on, (N/N)-sy! Grab Umio and Big Nepsy and tell them to cover their ears as hard as they can!

(Y/N) nods as he uses his power to fly on over to the other two as Adult Neptune was holding Umio.

(Y/N): Guys! Uzume has a plan, but just cover your ears for right now, got it?

Adult Neptune and Umio look at each other and nod as they quickly do what he said and (Y/N) turns back to Orange Heart and gave her a thumbs up before covering his own ears as well. Orange Heart takes a deep breath before she summons out a more futuristic version of her normal megaphone before she spins around and around fast enough that she was like a drill. She does her move Dream Roar as she rockets downward and breaks through a large piece of debris beneath them and she then does a backflip in the air before screaming as loud as she can through her megaphone.

Orange Heart (Uzume): NOWAAAAAAAA!!!

That very loud scream was enough to shatter the debris underneath all of them and not only that, but the soundwaves produced by Orange Heart's megaphone slowed their fall a little bit as once they all got to the ground, Orange Heart lands perfectly while (Y/N) and Adult Neptune who was carrying Umio tumble across the ground slightly injured from the huge fall.

Orange Heart (Uzume): Oh, dear! Is everybody okay?!

Umio: Thanks to you, Uzume.

(Y/N): Goddammit! Why did the building explode all of a sudden? That's makes no damn sense!

General Bane: Because we've matured unlike you, brat!

Everybody looks to their side to see that Bane and Malware were now face to face with them.

General Bane: It is a new ability that I've gained in order to make you and those blasted pests get blown into hell. . . I can place a bomb anywhere I want to and with Malware having some of my electric abilities, the explosion will allow me to cause even something as large as a building to come down.

Adult Neptune: Not cool, Bomberman! If you wanna make fireworks then at least give us the time to see them!

General Bane: Hmm. . . maybe we will. . . as you explode that is. . .

Bane then notices (Y/N) as he shoots him a really hard glare at him.

General Bane: But first. . . a little payback would be nice too! You embarrassed me in front of my comrades, by literally dumping me into the ice cold waters.

(Y/N): It's called "strategy" asshole! Something you didn't entirely have either when thinking you could take us all on one at a time. . .

General Bane: I'd advise that you watch your tongue, boy. As I've said, we've matured greatly. . . It may be unfortunate that Hijack and Canker couldn't beat you. . . but the same won't happen again.

Orange Heart (Uzume): Uzume won't let you hurt ANY of her friends! (N/N)-sy included!

General Malware: *chuckles* Oh, that's too bad girly because it's going to happen alright.

https://youtu.be/eLWXUYJIuHU

Orange Heart glares at Malware when he said as the two generals start approaching their adversaries with fierce looks. Once they got close enough, Malware glows his hand red while Bane cracks his knuckles and some smoke came off of them too.

General Malware: CPU. . .

General Bane: Humans. . .

General Malware: Us generals of the Virus Empire are going to make you disappear with our abilities of my Instant Attract. . .

General Bane: and my Deadly Bomb!

Bane drew his attention to (Y/N) who was already up from getting such a large fall from Bane destroying the building that they were on. He was getting ready to use Golden Knuckle to knock the living shit out of the two while yelling out in anger.

(Y/N): Wryyyyyyy!

In an instant, Malware used his said ability earlier and swipe his hand in a downward motion which makes (Y/N) teleport closer to the two generals which didn't surprise him since he knows about Malware's powers. However, that was intentional as Bane quickly caught (Y/N)'s fist which surprised him.

General Bane: What do you mean, "Wryyyyyyy?" You better think again about who you're messing with, boy.

Bane quickly sends a hard jab into (Y/N)'s face making him scream out in pain.

Orange Heart (Uzume): (N/N)-sy!

Adult Neptune: Whoa, whoa! What?! He just was just "fwoosh" gone and right in front of them next! What happened?

(Y/N): *groans* Malware. . . can. . . teleport things. . . even himself and others.

General Malware: Correct. . . but this time there is a catch. . . Now when use this ability. . . I can scrape away space too. . . In other words, it meshes things together to make it look like there is nothing there and if I were to do the same thing to you. . .

Malware does Instant Attract again as the same thing happens with (Y/N) suddenly being right in front of him.

General Malware: You'd be erased from existence completely!

Bane then punches (Y/N) in the face once again which makes him cough up blood as he gets knocked him to the ground.

General Malware: However, my partner here wanted some payback for what you did to him back in Lowee, so I'll let him have it before we end all of you.

Malware does the same thing again and again as (Y/N) repeatedly gets punched in the face by Bane. Orange Heart and Adult Neptune tried to catch (Y/N) to stop the process each time, but he was getting hit in different directions which made it hard for them to predict where he was getting launched.

Adult Neptune: Stop it already you jerks! This is like a game of keep away! (N/N) is not a toy!

Orange Heart (Uzume): Yeah! Stop hurting him!

General Bane: The kid is our most concern besides you CPU. . . and our orders are to take you in dead or alive and we'll kill ANYBODY who dares to stand in our way!

Bane sends another punch into (Y/N)'s face.

General Bane: Do. . .

Another punch. . .

General Bane: You. . .

And yet another one. . .

General Bane: Understand?!

One more hard punch to the face and (Y/N) was send flying in the air with blood flying out of his mouth as well.

(Y/N): AUUGGGH!!!

(Y/N) was now on the ground weakened from all of the hits that he just took from repeatedly being beat up by Bane.

General Bane: So weak!

Adult Neptune: Don't get so confident, buster! Raging Rush!

Adult Neptune had her swords out, but Malware teleports both Bane and himself away from the skill which causes her to go tumbling across the ground. However, Malware was caught off guard with a Dream Roar from Orange Heart as when she yells into her megaphone, the two get blown back a little bit of distance.

Orange Heart (Uzume): Leave (N/N)-sy alone! You two are really big bullies fighting someone who's currently defenseless! Uzume doesn't like bullies either messing with her friends like (N/N)-sy and Big Nepsy!

General Bane and Malware looked at each bored from what Orange Heart was saying before Malware just glows his hand again to try and pull Orange Heart in.

General Bane: Just shut your trap you bitch!

Orange Heart smirks from that as she instantly moves out of the way once Malware moves his hand in a downward motion and he instead brings (Y/N) towards him again, but this time he had a broken metal pole in his hand that he picked up off of the ground and once he was close enough, he stabs it through one of Malware's legs making him yell out in pain.

(Y/N): (Thanks for the diversion, Uzume! I'm glad you caught onto that without a signal!)

(Y/N) then uses Golden Knuckle once more to knock Malware away and onto the ground making him groan in pain.

(Y/N): There! Now your move is out of range to pull me in and on top of that. . . you can't walk anymore!

Orange Heart (Uzume): Uzume told you two that she wouldn't allow you to hurt her friends. . . so she got them to hurt you back.

She says this with a small wink which makes (Y/N) sweatdrop a little at her chipper attitude that she has in HDD form. Bane glares at Orange Heart before putting a thumb up which (Y/N) sees with confusion.

General Bane: (I intended to plant my next bomb onto the brat, but this CPU must've been a little too generous to save her friend's life. . . No matter. . . that'll change once I press this next button.)

The more (Y/N) looked at Bane's hand, the more suspicious he grew of what he was about to do before he finally came to realization that Bane was about to use his special skill which alarms him as he looks at Adult Neptune, Umio, and Orange Heart to see where the bomb was planted. He looked around with worry until he finally sees that the bomb is on a small destroyed building right behind Orange Heart which makes him gasp which Orange Heart noticed and turned to him with confusion.

Orange Heart (Uzume): Huh? What's wrong, (N/N)-sy?

Bane however smirks from under his helmet as he presses his thumb down to activate the switch while calling out his move as Malware even sent an electric spark to the bomb to increase the blast of the explosion and (Y/N) was already running towards Orange Heart.

General Bane: Deadly Bomb!

(Y/N): Uzume!!! Watch out!!!

Orange Heart hears the explosion as she instantly turns around to see the large amount of rubble about to crush her making her eyes widened with shock, but (Y/N) dives in to tackle her before he uses his energy to throw her away towards a destroyed street across from them. Orange Heart lands on her butt before she instantly looks up to see the building come down on top of (Y/N) which worried her like crazy as she reaches out in vain for him too. Adult Neptune and Umio had the same worried looks too.

Orange Heart (Uzume): (N/N)-sy!!!

Adult Neptune: No way!! (N/N)!!

Umio: O-Oh my goodness!

Meanwhile as the entire building finished collapsing, Bane and Malware were chuckling at how they just finished off (Y/N) together.

General Malware: A smart contingency, friend. It appears that we've completed our mission like our master requested.

General Bane: It appears that this "soldier" was destined to be killed in action after all. . . What a unfortunate turn of events for the CPUs. . . but a terrific turn of events for us. . .

Bane crosses his arms with proud look while Malware chuckles sinisterly. Orange Heart looked at the rubble to see if (Y/N) would pop out. . . but there was nothing at all as she tears up slightly before dropping to her knees.

Orange Heart (Uzume): (N/N)-sy. . . (N/N)-sy. . .

Orange Heart fell into so much despair that she lost her transformation from how she was feeling right now and she was back to her human form as Uzume. Uzume had some tears coming out of her eyes thinking that (Y/N) just died trying to save her as she slams a fist on the ground in frustration. Adult Neptune and Umio could feel her pain as Adult Neptune looked down to the ground with a sad look while Umio calmly sighs.

Uzume: *sniffles* D. . . Damn it. . .

General Malware: I may not be able to walk right now, but don't worry CPU. . . you'll get over it. . . Actually, some better news is that you'll be joining him as well, so no need to cry. . .

General Bane: Nah, Malware. Let her cry. . . It's amusing to me. . . It's over now, CPU! You'll come along with us as there is nothing else to get in our way! You've lost!

Suddenly. . . a voice rang out alarming the two generals.

(Y/N): Oh? And who exactly is going to replace me, (Y/N) (L/N)?

https://youtu.be/xRGrfurZaNQ

Everybody gasps from that voice coming out as the two generals slowly look behind them towards where the voice was coming from and once they did. . . they see that a part of the ground was cracking which made them shocked. After that. . . a fist in a golden aura pops up out of the ground as well.

General Bane & General Malware: NANI?!?!

Uzume and the others see this with extreme happiness as (Y/N) digs out of the ground with a smirk on his face.

Adult Neptune: Whoa, dude! You almost had us there for a sec!

General Bane: How did. . . How did you escape?! Something that big had to have crushed you.

(Y/N) chuckles from that as he stands up on both of his feet and a thought bubble appears over his head as it all makes an image of what he is about to explain.

(Y/N): Well you see, I had to think of something when I was trying to save Uzume from that large avalanche. . . so I remembered something that Uzume did earlier when we were knocked off of the building by Malware. The flurry of punches that she put onto Malware made me think that if I can use the Share energy stored in my watch to increase my speed, then I can put that energy into my arms as well. So it gave me just the right amount of logic to let me drill myself underground and take you on by surprise.

Uzume, Adult Neptune, and Umio all had really happy faces from (Y/N) being so resilient. General Bane was actually frightened from this as he takes a step back from (Y/N) who smirks at him while approaching him.

(Y/N): Hey! What's wrong? Why are you backing away? You're not going to tell me stories of how all of the goddesses have lost now~?

(Y/N) then cracks his knuckles with a mischievous smile on his face as he chuckles too before making both of his fist glow golden.

(Y/N): Thanks to Uzume, I was able to learn a new skill! And I'll gladly demonstrate it by using it on you two!! Crazy Combo!

(Skip to 1:13)

(Y/N) sends a barrage of punches towards General Bane as he even yells out a familiar cry by a certain Stand user who's diamond is unbreakable.

(Y/N): DORARARARARARAAAAAA! DORAAAAA!

(Y/N) sends that final punch onto Bane which sends him rolling across the ground taking so much damage that he was practically injured. Malware sees this in shock before he sees (Y/N) right in front of him and he was glaring daggers at Malware.

(Y/N): Now it's YOUR turn!

Malware puts his hands up in defense while shaking in fear a bit too.

General Malware: H-Hey! Kid! Chill out! I-I can't walk and you've already put a gigantic pole through my leg! I-I know that I'm a bad guy, but come on have some mercy!

(Y/N) growls from that as he deepens his glare at Malware.

General Malware: C-Come on, kid! You wouldn't do something as cowardly as attacking your enemy while he's down, right? That's not something a hero would do!

Adult Neptune: Yeah! That's cowardly!

Umio: Nepsy!

Adult Neptune: What? Someone had to agree to it.

(Y/N) then thinks to himself about what Malware just said.

(Y/N): Hmmm. . . I suppose you have a point. It's true that I probably wouldn't feel too great if I kicked your ass while you're injured. It's not very manly and it would leave a sour taste in my mouth.

General Malware: R-Right? The guilt will stick with you forever if you kick my ass with the condition that I'm in.

(Skip to 1:43)

(Y/N): Well. . . I actually thought about that so I already used my Heal skill a number of times to fix up your wounds. . .

General Malware: Huh??

Malware suddenly sees that the pole in his leg is gone and that his injuries were gone too as he could move.

(Y/N): You can move, right? You can at least stand as well?

Malware looks all over himself with astonishment as he stands back up too.

General Malware: I. . . I can. . .

(Skip to 2:00)

(Y/N): That's right. . . so I figured that if I fixed you up first then. . . it wouldn't be so shameful now, would it?!

Malware looks at (Y/N) for a second in confusion before he becomes shocked as now he doesn't have an excuse to get hurt by (Y/N) at all as he screams too.

General Malware: AAHHHHH!!!

(Y/N) then proceeds to use Crazy Combo again on Malware sending a barrage of punches to him too.

(Y/N): DORARARARARARAAAAAA!

Malware gets sent flying to where Bane was as they were both now groaning in pain from how much damage they took in an instant from (Y/N). Uzume runs up right beside (Y/N) before playing elbowing him with a smile on her face.

Uzume: Geez, (N/N)-sy! You're stealin' the show! Why didn't you tell me that you had something so badass up your sleeve?!

(Y/N) chuckles from that before he along with Uzume look back at the generals who were trying to sit up from what (Y/N) just did to them. They gave them some angry glares before looking at each other agreeing that they need to put them in their places yet again.

Uzume: So what you want to do with these bastards now?

(Y/N): I can't let them off with a warning this time. They clearly need some more messages to get into those hardheaded skulls of theirs. If they even have skulls that is.

This gives (Y/N) an idea as he turns to Uzume with a smirk on his face.

(Y/N): Hey, Uzume? How about a team attack?

Uzume was surprised from the thought before she smirks back at him and nods.

Uzume: Sure thing. What should we call it?

(Y/N): Already came up with a name. Let's call it. . . Seven Page Combo!

Uzume: Huh. Cool! Really cool! I think I also already know what you're planning too. You want me to just follow your lead and let it play out?

(Y/N): Alright then. Show me what you got, Uzume?

Uzume: I should be telling you that, (N/N)-sy. Now get to it!

(Y/N) runs up and grabs both of the generals' collar as he hoists both of them up.

(Y/N): Tell your "master" that if he ever decides to try and piss me off again by messing with my friends. . . THIS will be his special delivery!

He says this as he points a finger on Bane's chest who whimpers in fear.

(Y/N): Do you understand?

He then turns to Uzume who ran a distance ahead of him.

(Y/N): Hey, Uzume! How do we deal with people who piss us off?

(Skip to 2:59)

(Y/N) let's go of the two generals before he throws another flurry of punches to the two of them at the same time before kicking them over to Uzume. Uzume cracks her knuckles with a fierce smile on her face.

Uzume: We start. . . by punching them!

Uzume sends her own flurry of punches before she uppercuts the generals into the air, sending them flying not too far above from herself and (Y/N) who walks up to her.

Uzume: Is that the spot?

(Y/N): Yeah! Right there!

Both of them balled up their fists.

Uzume & (Y/N): This is the best. . .

They jump into the air at the same time as they look at each other with arrogant smirks.

Uzume & (Y/N): PUNCHING ANGLE!

Both of them then sent out a flurry of endless amounts of punches towards the general while yelling.

Uzume/(Y/N): ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!/DORARARARARARARA!

Both of them then charged up some energy in both of their fists before sending one last powerful to the two generals.

Uzume/(Y/N): ORAAAAA!/DORAAAAA!

With the last punch connecting to both of the generals, they were sent rocketing into the sky, far and far away yelling as once they were out of sight, a star twinkles to where they were sent and both Uzume and (Y/N) land back to back with each other before doing a really cool pose with each other as (Y/N) points his finger back in the direction he and Uzume sent Bane and Malware.

(Y/N): Let's rock out. . .

Adult Neptune: Whoa! Awesome finisher there, guys. Total breakdown.

(Y/N): Hehe. . . it was nothing too special about that Big Nep.

Uzume: It was still pretty awesome how you were able to think of something so quick, (N/N)-sy. . . but can you do me a favor next time?

(Y/N): Huh? What's that?

Uzume: Don't. . . sacrifice yourself for me like that. What were you thinking? I mean yeah, its great that you're alive and all, but you got so worried about you. . . Although, your a really cool fighter, you can't take as much hits as a goddess can, so next time don't do something so reckless. . .

(Y/N) looks at Uzume for a second before he gets a serious look and crosses his arms.

(Y/N): Sorry, Uzume. . . That I cannot promise.

Uzume: What?! Quit playin' with me, (N/N)-sy! I want you keep that promise!

Uzume then sighs as she looks down to the ground with a dejected look.

Uzume: *sighs* It's just that. . . I hate it when others sacrifice their friends like that. It makes them feel like you're responsible for hurting them in the first place. . . or even worse. . . you know. . . what would've happened to you. . .

(Y/N): Uzume. . .

Uzume: *Daydream Mode* Nepsy and Gearsy sacrificed a lot for Uzume too, but no matter how much they did. . . Uzume can't sometimes help but feel like a burden to them. . . Uzume doesn't want to feel like a burden to you too, (N/N)-sy. . . It's just annoying why people do those things because they care. . .

Uzume almost had tears coming out of her eyes from that and (Y/N) just smiles at Uzume before he walks up to her and places a hand on her shoulder.

(Y/N): Uzume. . . you don't to feel that way. . . I mean what I'm doing for you and the others right now. . . it all matters. The fact that you're still alive matters too as if I wasn't there who knows what would've happened to you. Everything matters of what you do Uzume, even when you feel like you can't make a difference. . . I'm sure Neptune would tell you the same thing too. . . well probably in a silly way, but you get it. . .

Uzume's eyes widened from this as (Y/N) continues to speak to her.

(Y/N): It's the reason I came to help you in the first place too and help Neptune fight the Virus Empire as well. If my abilities can make a difference in helping others across Gamindustri then I'm going to do what I can to protect it. Don't think that me saving you is going to make you feel like something will eventually be your fault soon. . . I'm your friend and friends are there for each other when needed as well.

Umio: He's right. We're here too as your friends to help you out, Uzume.

Adult Neptune: And come on. No waterworks. It's totally not your style.

Uzume looks at all three of them and she smiles as she wipes her tears away and returns back to her normal demeanor and normal voice too as she smirks.

Uzume: Yeah. . . you guys are right. What am I doing thinking of sappy crap like that? It's totally not my style at all.

Everybody laughs from that including Uzume herself and as they did, Uzume had a thought in her head as she looks at (Y/N) with a smile.

Uzume: (I don't know how. . . but I stop getting a feeling that I've seen this guy and I somehow know him too. . . It's strange. . .)

As she think of that, they all stopped laughing as they heard something which made them all put their guards up as they summoned their weapons out looking around themselves.

Umio: Another assassin?

Uzume: We took those damn generals out, there shouldn't really anymore forces for us to take on since they're out of the picture, right (N/N)-sy?

(Y/N) thinks a little from that before something comes to realization about something that he heard from Bane and Malware earlier when they were hiding in the city.

(Y/N): Oh no. . . I'm just now realizing. . . that those soldiers that were following the two are gone. . .

Adult Neptune: Say what??

(Y/N): They had a pack with them earlier and commanding them to take out-

He then gasps as he remembers that Uzume said that Bane and Malware had tried to destory their base twice already and if the soldiers that they had weren't with them. . . that must mean they were sent to blow up Uzume's hideout like planned.

Location: Uzume's Hideout

Once everybody arrives back at the entrance of the base to see if everything was okay and if Uzume's home wasn't destroyed. Conveniently for them. . . the place looks like it wasn't even touched in the first place which confused all of them.

Adult Neptune: Huh. . . Well that's strange. . . You said that Bone and Mally sent some men to destroy the base, right?

(Y/N): I'm positive I heard those exact words.

Uzume: The place is completely intact though. If we were to see or hear and explosion I'm sure we probably could've seen the smoke of it from all the way out there too.

Umio: If they said that they intended to blow this up, then it doesn't explain how they didn't do it while we were against them earlier.

Uzume: Maybe that was a trick too?

(Y/N): Nah. . . I doubt they would make something up to send us back to where we started without trying to stop us in the first place. They had to have had another angle. . .

Adult Neptune then looks in the air to the side and the moment she did. . . she grew a shocked expression as she taps Uzume on the shoulder.

Adult Neptune: Nah, I think ol' (N/N) is right, fellas. . . Except that I think that the Bomb man wanted to do it by flight instead.

Uzume and (Y/N) turned to the direction Adult Neptune was looking at and they all suddenly see a bunch of flying red jets rocketing towards their way with the Virus Empire's logo on it.

(Y/N): Oh. . . Gimme a damn break. . .

On the jets, some Virus Soldiers were piloting them while the Brutes were on the lookout and one of them on the jet looks ahead to see the three down at the base and they laugh.

Virus Brute: *laughs* The CPU and the humans have arrived. . .

Virus Soldier: *smiles* They have. . .? Well, they can enjoy the little performance that we're about to give them as the bombs that General Bane gave us are already loaded for us to drop on the two of them. I'm guessing that our generals let them off with a warning to allow them to see bring this to an end.

Back down on the ground, all of them were getting worried as the jets were getting closer to the base by the second.

(Y/N): We need to think of something fast! If we don't do something, your base is going to be completely obliterated, Uzume!

Uzume thinks to herself quickly while sweating a little before getting an idea as she looks over to Umio for a second before smirking which confused him.

Umio: Um. . . Uzume?

Uzume: I've got the perfect idea~

Umio was a little bit confused on her tone before his eyes widen and he gets a nervous smile too.

Umio: Oh no. . .

Uzume: Oh, yes~

(Y/N): You've got a plan, Uzume?

Adult Neptune looks at Uzume and Umio before she gets a smile on her face on what was about to come as she looks over to (Y/N) and smiles.

Adult Neptune: Hold up, (N/N). Just let this one play out. . . Umio's got this. . .

(Y/N): Wait, what?

https://youtu.be/NFjE5A4UAJI

Uzume suddenly picks up Umio with one of her hands which confused (Y/N) as he had no idea what the plan was.

(Y/N): W-What the. . . Uzume, what are you doing with Umio?

All Uzume does is chuckle lightly as she grips Umio a little before she pulls him back over her shoulder as if attempting to do something rather crazy which (Y/N) all of a sudden realizes as he looks at the jets coming before back at Uzume.

(Y/N): Wait, Uzume. . . are you going to. . .

Uzume yells out as she does something completely unexpected. . . She literally throws Umio like a baseball into the air sending him flying far into the air and he slices through the wind.

(Y/N): You threw him?! Why?! He's going to get blown up too!

Adult Neptune: Ah, ah, ah! I said watch. . . not talk, (N/N).

Back up on the jets, the soldier that was piloting one of them sees Uzume throw Umio as they look ahead with a confused look on their face.

Virus Soldier: What the. . .? That bitch just threw something. . . and its coming this way!

Virus Brute: What?! What did she throw?!

Back down on the ground, Adult Neptune and Uzume had smug looks while (Y/N) was still in shock from Uzume throwing Umio like that.

Adult Neptune: It's Umio, yo!

Uzume: Now, now, now~ If you don't do something to defend yourselves right now, The Umio Heaven is going to collide with you and you'll all get blown to hell.

As Umio was flying through the air at immense speed, he sighs with a forced smile.

Umio: (I really don't think doing this, but I suppose that it can't be helped.)

Umio suddenly is made into five duplicates of himself, still going towards all of the jets and all of the pilots aboard were still trying to figure out what Uzume was planning.

Virus Soldier: Now the thing just split into five versions of itself!

Virus Brute: Why do I feel as though that "thing" is something filled with overwhelming power?

The Virus Soldier looks ahead once more before it becomes shocked and tries to stop the jet along with the rest of the pilots in the other who realized the situation.

Virus Soldier: Shit! He's going to crash into us!! Stop the jets!!

Virus Brute: Mayday! Mayday!

All of the soldiers in the jets tried to stop their flight, but due to how fast they were going it was already too late for them as all of the Umio duplicates collide with the jets and they all exploded into large pieces and on the ground as the explosion happened, Adult Neptune and Uzume saluted the task that Umio did for them and (Y/N) was still astonished of how Umio who was a tiny fish could be so destructive to take out a bunch of speeding jets like that.

(Y/N): Well. . . I'll be damned. . . Umio is okay. . . right?

Uzume: Yeah, no worries about it at all, (N/N)-sy. Umio may be a fish, but he swims through the air as if the air itself is water.

(Y/N): Wait, really? Then. . . does he have gills or lungs?

Adult Neptune sweatdrops from that with a nervous smile as she rubs the back of her head.

Adult Neptune: Now that's something we don't know either, buddy. We'll just never know. . .

Umio is then seen coming out of the smoke of the explosion as he swims back down to the group with a smile on his face.

Umio: The task is done, Uzume. We are now free of anymore threats that attempt to try and harm us.

Uzume: Awesome!

(Y/N) takes a sigh in relief as he looks at Uzume's base before back at the ruined Planeptune that they were fighting in. Just like Histoire said, he was able to help fight with and protect Uzume like he needed which meant that his job was done.

(Y/N): I guess that's it then. . . We did it. My work here is done. . .

Umio: Apparently so. . . It was great getting to know you (N/N)-sy. We will truly remember this moment where you came to our aid.

(Y/N): Don't mention it, Umio. I'm just doing what I can to protect my friends and Gamindustri too and you all count as my friends too.

Adult Neptune: Aw, thanks (N/N).

(Y/N): I'm gonna head back to Planeptune now and tell Histoire about the good news and. . . also see what my Neptune is up to as well.

Uzume then walks up to (Y/N) and wraps an arm around his shoulder giving him a smile.

Uzume: You're welcome to come back anytime to want, (N/N)-sy. . . We'll always be around even when you do solve this entire situation with the Virus Empire. As a matter of fact, why don't you stay a little more? Now that our base is completely passive with nothing attacking, it'd be great for you to take a break before taking a long walk back to the Hyper dimension Planeptune.

(Y/N) looks at Uzume surprised before he smiles brightly at her offer.

(Y/N): Nothing hurts a few minutes of relaxation after what I just had today. I'll be glad to hang with you guys for a little bit more. No damage in that, right?

This made everybody smile as Uzume chuckles before giving (Y/N) a couple of playful jabs in the stomach as they all walk toward the base to get some rest before (Y/N) had to go back home to Planeptune.

Dimension: Hyper

Location: Virus Empire Airship, Deck

Time: Night

Inside of the airship, the four generals could be seen kneeling very guilty as they have all lost and failed their missions yet again. The mysterious man who could be seen sitting on a throne in the shadows, slams his fist down in anger as he was clearly not happy from what the generals had to have told them about their missions going south.

https://youtu.be/iPIey9Z1yvk

Mysterious Man: This. . . is. . . UNACCEPTABLE! I give you four all of the ounce of my power I can get and yet after all of had TWO attempts to take on a simple task to destroy the CPUs and that stupid brat you all said had the ability to beat you all! Each time he bested you?! Don't make me laugh!

General Malware: W-We're not trying to master! Honest!

General Canker: If you count the fact that he's assisted by some CPUs which include a sadist. . . which by the way. . .

He winces in pain a little.

General Canker: Which I'm still trying to recover from. . .

General Bane: Or even a CPU that uses a small fish as a weapon.

This made Canker turn to Bane surprised from what he said before he starts to laugh.

General Canker: Hahahaha! A FISH!? Are you serious?? That's hilarious!

General Bane: *sternly* Shut up!!

General Canker: Oh, please. . . Hijack and I got our asses kicked by some bitch who doesn't know what the term "calm down" means and your army got blown up by. . . *snerk* a damn fish! Ha! That's priceless!

Canker was on the ground laughing at Bane's humiliation, but his laughter suddenly stops as he was suddenly enveloped in a red aura which shocks him as the person responsible for that was the Mysterious Man who lifts up Canker and slams him down onto the ground.

Mysterious Man: Silence! You ALL are at fault for failing your missions as I've expected a lot more of you! No CPU captured! No Share energy for me to absorb! NO results!

General Hijack: Sure, the boy's name is (Y/N) (L/N) and he has a watch that allows him to create Share energy from scratch. Th-That's all that we can give you, I swear!

Mysterious Man: Is that so. . .?

General Hijack: Yes! Trust us, my lord!

General Malware: We've adapted so much that losing is apparently making us better. We know what we're getting ourselves into now. If you just give us another task for us to try and vanquish our adversaries, then we swear Gamindustri will be in your-

Suddenly. . . Malware was pulled in and the sound of something similar to flesh could be heard as Malware screams out in pain while the rest of the generals gasp in shock that the mysterious man apparently had something rather sharp sticking out of Malware which looked to be like claws. Malware is then enveloped in a red aura as he could feel his energy being drained from himself as well.

General Hijack: Malware!

Soon enough, after the process was done, Malware was laying on the ground motionless and everything that was glowing red on him was dimmed out as if he was a robot being powered down or short circuited. The mysterious man then stands up off of his throne and his figure still wasn't shown as he walks up to the generals who felt a lot of dread from what he was about to do to them too.

Mysterious Man: I did trust you all. . . As I've stated, I created you with the sole purpose of taking out the CPUs of each nation using my own power. Did you kill those CPUs? No! Do I have enough Virus energy to which I can finally invade all of Gamindustri to overthrow all of the goddesses permanently?! NO!

General Bane: P-P-Please, master! Reconsider! The boy has been lucky so far, but luck doesn't last forever- ACK!

The same thing happens to Bane as a bunch of claws from the Mysterious Man's fingers pierce through his body and he powers down as well as a red aura focuses itself into the Mysterious Man.

Mysterious Man: You're right. . . Luck doesn't last forever. . . But we do not have forever. . .

He then turns his attention to Canker who backs up from the Mysterious Man while panting a lot.

Mysterious Man: Do we?

General Canker: U-Um. . . N-No?

Mysterious Man: Good answer.

Suddenly, he jerks his sharp claws into Canker as well who yells out in pain from getting pierced by his master and all of his energy get's drained out too. The Mysterious Man throws Canker away before he looks at Hijack who was begging on his knees and pleading to be spared.

General Hijack: P-Please!! Don't put me out of commission too, my lord!! I would've had the boy if he didn't have surprises up his sleeves! The next time we meet I promise you-

The Mysterious Man suddenly grabs Hijack by the neck choking him and picks him up to bring him to his face.

Mysterious Man: Spare me your excuses. I honestly thought that you could handle it all yourself considering that I put so much of my power in you. . . but it looks like I was wrong to give my power to some worthless lifeforms created by my energy and are just figments of my personality too. Malware was my tranquility, Bane was my vigilance, Canker was my humor. . . and you're my pride.

The Mysterious Man then digs his claws into Hijack's throat who started to feel his power being drained away like the rest of his generals.

Mysterious Man: *sighs* Although, I do thank you for one thing. . . Now that I know exactly who that boy is, what he looks like, and what he is capable of. . . it'll make it all more enjoyable to see him perish.

Hijack's energy was finally severed from himself as he powered down completely and the Mysterious Man had a crimson red aura glow around him as he walks over to the deck of the airship to look at all of Gamindustri with an evil smirk on his face.

Mysterious Man: You have challenged me for the last time, child. You will perish in hands and I'll be sure to deliver you a fast and invigorating death that will make you regret wanting to even wish you were born in the first place, (Y/N) (L/N). . .

https://youtu.be/cPCLFtxpadE

(Y/N) was able to hang out with Adult Neptune and Uzume for a couple of hours at the base as they all had fun chatting until nighttime so (Y/N) could head back home and report to Histoire. (Y/N) was walking back home to his Planeptune with Uzume and Adult Neptune as he felt a little bit uneasy for a second which the two of them noticed.

Uzume: Hey. . . you alright (N/N)-sy?

(Y/N): Yeah. . . I'm fine. . . Just an unknown gut feeling is all. . .

Adult Neptune: *smiles* Hey, don't sweat it. We get those all of the time, so I'm sure what you're thinking of right now is perfectly fine.

Uzume nods in agreement with Adult Neptune as (Y/N) looks at the two before smiling.

(Y/N): Yeah, you might be right. Thanks, Big Nep.

Uzume: You're heading back home, right? Well, just so you know if you ever need me or Big Nepsy here. . .

Uzume sticks her fist out at (Y/N) while smirking.

Uzume: Give us a call, alright?

(Skip to 0:40)

(Y/N) looks at Uzume's fist before smirking back her and balls up his fist before punching back onto Uzume's fist so that they can share a fist bump.

Chapter 13 End.

Bonus: Nepstation

https://youtu.be/Fz5JuKzFw58

Neptune: Hello! Welcome back my adoring Nep readers as today we are joined by the master reader of books herself, Blanny Blanny Bee.

Blanc shoots an annoyed look at Neptune.

Blanc: That nickname sounds really ridiculous. . . Where did you even come up with that?

Neptune: What? C-Sha and some of our other gals call you that. . .

Blanc: Doesn't mean that I think that it's okay. . .

Neptune: Come on, Blanc. It's a cute nickname. I'm sure even the readers think so as well.

Blanc: *sighs* Fine. . . Anyway, this just in we are reaching the climax of the first segment of Hyperdimension Neptunia: Legend of the Male CPU.

Neptune: That's right, folks! Arc 1 is coming to it's close soon as it appears that (N/N) will have to find himself at his biggest boss battle yet. Just who is this mysterious person and what kind of magic does he have to eliminate all of his own generals at once?

Blanc: You know now that I think about it. . . I think this chapter may redeem Nintega's efforts a little as he used way too many RvB references in the first half of the arc. . .

Neptune: Yeah! What was up with that author?? If you were going to make this book based off of that then you might as well just name this book with the title of what you put in the prologue to our story! Even if its a war! Or you might want to title this chapter, JoJo's Bizarre Neptunia Adventure for all of the references to put in this one too!

Blanc: Stop complaining. I didn't say it was a bad thing. . . He just writes what he wants to kind of like how I write what I want to as well. . .

Neptune: Still, a more Nep in a chapter can't hurt once in a while. . .

Blanc: *sighs* Anyways, keep on the lookout for a three part finale coming soon only in this book.

Neptune: Don't forget to vote, comment, and follow and well as we appreciate all of your support. See ya in the next chapter! *winks*
