Zero Dimension, City

They were now back at the city as Nepgear was working on the finishing touches on the Transfer Terminal. Nepgear then finish replacing the core part and said.

Nepgear: Yes! The repair was successful!

Uzume: That's great. You girls can go home to your own word.

Neptune: Yeah, but, it's kinda hard to celebrate knowing there's probably piles of work to deal with back home...

Neptune: *Sigh...* I can already hear Histy's eternal, boring lecture-y voice in my head...

Histoire: Would it happen to sound like this?

Neptune: That's so spot on Uzume, wow. That sounds just like- Wait, Histy?! Why are we on a call with her?!

Nepgear: I-I'm sorry, Neptune! Since I just finished repairs, I thought to call Histoire right away.

Histoire: I answered this call holding the highest hopes for you both to return quickly, but hearing these complaints from Neptune is just too much.

Histoire: So, if you so desire, Nepgear may return to tend to business over here, and, Neptune, you may very well stay in that world for eternity.

Marx: Oof, well that's kinda harsh.

Neptune: Awww, c'mon, Histy, I was only jokin', you already know that's not how I feel!

Neptune: It was just one of those Nep-jokes all my fans online are into these days!

Histoire: A Nep-Joke...? Do you mean a me— Um, it doesn't matter, you must return at once so I may lecture you.

Neptune: ...What.

Umio: Now that the device has been repaired, we must solve our energy dilemma.

Uzume: Yeah, I was thinkin', maybe we can use this.

Nepgear: Isn't that... a share crystal? Uzume, that's a sweet gesture, but we couldn't possibly dream of using such a precious item.

Neptune: That' right! Without those, how are you gonna transform, huh? We can't take 'em.

Marx: Neptune has a good point, you know.

Uzume: It's fine. I was able to defeat the giant thanks to you five, and now all I got left is to crush that purple hag who likes to pop up everywhere.

Uzume: And although it's not a huge amount, I'm able to receive shares from monsters now, so I don't even need these anymore.

Uzume: If I do need more someday, I can always just go search for some.

Uzume: It's okay, right Umio?

Umio: Yes. Absolutely. I agree with Uzume.

Marx: If you say so.

Neptune: Thank you, Uzume! We're never gonna forget you! 

Neptune: And we're never gonna forget you three as well for helping us, so thank you.

Bandana Dee then wrote something to them and showed it which Nepgear reads.

Nepgear: Your welcome, Neptune. We will never forget you two as well.

Uzume: Yeah, neither will I.

Uzume: Seriously, I won't ever forget you, Nepsy.

Histoire: Nepgear, are you ready? Enter the coordinates I specify into the N-Gear. I will take care of the controls for the transfer afterwards.

Nepgear: ...Um, Histoire? Could you wait for us to return a little bit longer? 

Histoire: What? What are you saying?

Histoire: Please, do not tell me Neptune's propensity for slacking off has influenced you...

Histoire: Our only salvation is your earnestness, Nepgear, so if you take on Neptune's traits, I do not know if I could ever face our past CPUs again.

Neptune: Wait up. Am I being dissed right now?

Nepgear: No, I just want to finish helping them before I return home. 

Nepgear: Uzume, Kirby, Bandana Dee, Marx, I'm here for you until the end.

Nepgear: So, once we defeat Arfoire and ensure everyone's safety here, why don't you four come back with us to our world?

Nepgear: My sister will be there, and there are so many games and food to try out. You could even check out all of my gadgets! 

Kirby: Poyo.

Uzume: ......

Uzume: ...I get it. That's what this is about.

Uzume: You sisters have been so kind. You care so much about someone like me, a complete stranger.

Marx: Yeah, including us as well. Even though we just met you two for a few days.

Uzume: Thank you, Gearsy.

Nepgear: Then, does that mean you four will come with us?

Uzume: I'm really happy for the sentiment, but, I'm sorry... I just can't go with you there.

Marx: Me either. And besides, we can just figure it out ourselves how to get back home.

Uzume: Except for these three of course.

Marx: Wait, what?

Uzume: You heard me. You three are going with them.

Marx: Are you sure. Because you might get lonely here by yourself without us.

Uzume: It's fine, really. Besides, these two can help you get back to your home, so it's better than staying here.

Marx: It looks like we don't have a choice, do we? 

Uzume: Yep.

Marx: In that case. Kirby, Bandana Dee, were going with them.

Kirby: Poyo!

Said Kirby as he ran towards Neptune and hugs her. Neptune then hugs Kirby back and said.

Neptune: This is great, Kirby! Were going to have so much together once you and your buddies return home.

Kirby: Poyo.

Nepgear: It's great that you three are coming with us.

Nepgear: B-But why, Uzume? It's far too lonely to stay in a world like this, completely by yourself...!

Uzume: Gearsy, this is just how it is, and you have no idea what'll happen if you and Kirby stay. You guys gotta get home while you still can.

Nepgear: I don't...

Suddenly, they heard a noise from outside and Uzume said.

Uzume: W-What the hell's this noise?!?!

Umio: These sounds... They appear to be coming from outside.

Marx: If that's the case. I say we check it out!

And with that, everyone nodded as they were now heading outside to see where that noise is coming from. 

(Timeskip)

We then see Arfoire watching the monsters destroying the building and said.

Arfoire: Haaa ha ha ha ha ha! Monsters, destroy this building! They ruined my plans... and I will ruin their escape!

They soon made it outside and saw Arfoire that's causing all that noise as they said.

Uzume: Damn, I knew it was you!

Marx: Well this is just great. I was hoping we wouldn't run into her again.

Neptune: Dang it, Uzume and Nep Jr. were having a touching, plot-developing moment, and you had to go break it up!

Neptune: That's supposed to be my job, dummy! I was getting some of my best jokes ready to make it so embarrasing for them!

Neptune: Do you think the nickname "Seriousness Breaker" just came by chance? No! I earned that name, and I'm not losing it to you, Arbore!

Kirby: Poyo, poyo!

Said Kirby with an angry look on his face.

Arfoire: Who the hell is Arbore?! And I don't even need your ridiculous second name!

Neptune: Then... what's your objective? ...*GASP* Are you trying to steal my spot as the protagonist?!

Arfoire: Hm. Megadimension Destructor Arfoire. 

...Well, now that you mention it, taking your spotlight sounds like a brilliant idea.

Neptune: HA! Hey, did you hear that, Nep Jr.? "Megadimension Destructor Arfoire"? Pffffffft...!

Nepgear: Y-You shouldn't laugh, Neptune. N-Not when she's serious...

Uzume: But, I mean, using the name "Destructor," it's so freakin' lame...

Umio: I believe her intentions may have been "Destroyer," but who's to say, really...

Arfoire: R-Rrrrrrgh! Shut Up!!

Arfoire: Always finding a way to make a mockery of me! You will not be forgiven, brats!

Arfoire: And as for you, Kirby. I will not be forgiven you and your buddies for ruining my plans!

Neptune: Tee hee! You're so c-u-t-e when you're all red and embarrassed, Arfy!

Nepgear: You should leave her be, big sis. the last thing you wanna do is cross the line with the crazy person.

Umio: Actually, she's right. She's clearly not thinking straight to be dressing like that at her age.

Umio: Even more so than youngsters these days, we have no idea what she'll do if she snaps. We must treat her delicately.

Arfoire: RAAAARGH!

N/N/U/U: Eeeek?!

Arfoire: How dare you fools continue to gossip about my impeccable fashion sense!

Arfoire: My original plan was only to cast you all into the depths of despair, but that's changed. I will end you hear and now!

Neptune: ...Pfffft. "Cast into the deaths of despair!" The depths of despair, she says! What is this, a freshman poetry class?!

Neptune: I've never seen anyone outside a game use that phase! What a riot!

Umio: Nespy's instigations are also at a fault, and it seems her resistance to being appropriately serious is a problem, as well.

Arfoire: I won't allow any futher insults, you scum! Go, my monsters! Crush those twerps and take down the entire building!!

Marx: Like that's ever going to happen, Arfoire! Because we will stop you for good! 

Kirby: Poyo!

And with that, the two monsters known as Koitsu O and the other three monsters known as Squirrel Cat begins.

(BGM: Voltage - Mega Dimension Neptunia VII)

Bandana Dee starts of by performing a Spear Throw at Squirrel Cat #1. Follow by performing a combo of Spear Thrust and Multispear Attack on Squirrel Cat #1 again dealing decent damage. Next, Neptune use L. Slash, Rush, and Rapid Rush on Koitsu O #1 dealing decent damage. Follow by Nepgear use Attack, Slash Edge, Rapid hit, and Rapid Rush on Squirrel Cat #2 dealing a lot of damage as Squirrel Cat #2 was instantly defeated.  

Then, the Squirrel Cat #3 performs an Explosion on Marx as he dodges it. Follow by Squirrel Cat #1 performs a Slash on Bandana Dee as he blocks the attack dealing less damage.

Next, Marx sprouted his wings and flies up to perform a Marx Flip Ultima as he flies down into the ground and blasts upwards in a Shadow Uppercut on Koitsu O#1 dealing decent damage as Koitsu O #1 was defeated. Follow by Kirby dashing towards Squirrel Cat #1 and gobble him as Kirby spits him out towards Koitsu O #2 dealing damage on both of 'em. 

Koitsu O #2 then performs a Poison, Poison on Neptune as she blocks the attack dealing less damage. Follow by Squirrel Cat #1 and #3 performs a Slash on Uzume and Nepgear. But Squirrel Cat #1 and #3 was interrupted by Marx as he was performing a Jester Ball Spit-Drop on both of 'em dealing damage. 

Next, Uzume use Front Sound Waves, Triple Sound Waves, and Multi-Shock Waves on Squirrel Cat #1 and #3 dealing decent damage as the Squirrel Cat #1 and #3 were defeated. Follow by Neptune use L. Slash, Rush, and Rapid Rush on Koitsu O #2 dealing decent damage as he was also defeated.

(BGM Ended)

Marx: Is that really all you got, Arfoire. Because we took down your monsters with an ace.

Arfoire: No, but thank you for asking. 

Arfoire then finger snapped as more monsters showed up out of nowhere as they said.

Marx: You got to be kidding me, there's more.

Uzume: No matter, we can still do this, right girls. 

N/N: Right! 

Uzume: Then let's go, everyone.

They dash towards the monsters as the fight continues.

https://youtu.be/geFP9cglPOo

After a few minutes have passed, they were still fighting monsters as more monsters keep appearing out of nowhere. As they were out numbered, Uzume said.

Uzume: Tch, they're too many of 'em!

Arfoire: Haaa ha ha ha ha! What's wrong? I expected more from you CPUs, including the Star Warrior himself.

Umio: There are just too many; we're overwhelmed. Let's take cover in that building for now.

Uzume: You're really tellin' me to show my back to this pop-up jerk?! Way past uncool!

Umio: Uzume, calm yourself. Her objective is to destroy the transfer terminal and prevent Nepsy, Gearsy, Kirby, Bandanna Dee, and Marx from leaving this world.

Umio: We don't have to face her directly or even fight her fairly; as long as our friends here escape, we can consider this battle won.

Uzume: Alright, I get it now. If that's the case, then let's hurry it up and get 'em outta here.

Uzume: Nepsy, Gearsy, Kirby, Bandana Dee, Marx! Let's fall back to the terminal!

Neptune: What?! We're not even done here! 

Nepgear: Yeah, Uzume, there are still lots of monst—

Uzume: Change of plan! I'll get you up to speed  in a little bit, just get inside ASAP!

They soon escape from the horde of monsters as they were heading back to the terminal. 

(Timeskip)

They were now inside of the transfer terminal as Umio said.

Umio: They'll probably be a while before they can clear a path to the entrance here.

Neptune: Jeez, that hag's personality is super rotten, bringing along a horde of monsters to attack us right at the last second! Dumb!

Nepgear: What should we do, though? There are so many!

Uzume: Hey, why are you sweatin' it, Gearsy? It's seriously nothin' to worry about. 

Uzume: I'm gonna transfer you five now. Hurry and get inside the terminal.

Neptune: Just a dang minute! No way! We can't just leave you with this horde right outside!

Marx: She's right! There's no way you can take on the horde of monsters by yourself!

Uzume: It's totally cool. Compared to that giant, these wimps don't mean a thing.

Suddenly, they heard an explosion from outside and Umio said.

Umio: ...That must've been the door breaking down. We have no time. Get in the terminal, you five. Gearsy, give Histoire the transfer signal.

Histoire: My preparations are complete. I am aware of your situation via the N-Gear, as well.

Uzume: Okay, you five are in. Good. I didn't think our farewell would be this hectic, but... Hey, you stay safe when you get back, alright?

Neptune: Only if you promise not to push yourself, Uzume.

Uzume: I promise, as soon as you five leave, I'm gonna make a run for it.

Nepgear: .....

Next, Arfoire showed up and found them saying.

Arfoire: I've found you little brats!

Uzume: Oh crap, she's already here. See ya, Nepsy, Gearsy, Kirby, Bandana Dee, and Marx.

Histoire: Transfer initiated.

Arfoire: Tch! I'm too late! You will pay for this with your life!

Nepgear: Uzume, watch out!

Nepgear then ran out of the terminal to help Uzume out.

Uzume: Wha-?!

Marx: Nepgear?! What are you doing?!

Neptune: Huh?! Nepgear?!

Neptune: Nepgeeeeaaaaarrr!!!!

Kirby: Poyoooo!!

And so, Neptune, Kirby, Bandana Dee, and Marx were transfer back into the Hyper Dimension as Nepgear was left behind.

To Be Continued...

Will they ever find a way to get Nepgear back, knowing that she was left behind in the Zero Dimension?

And what do you think will happen next?

Stay tuned and find out.
