Hyperdimension Neptunia: Land of the Goddesses: Ep. 4: Lowee.

Episode 4: Lowee.

The ever-growing party heads to Lowee, "The Land of White Serenity,"  to find Lady White Heart.

IF: Hey guys, did you guys pack any warm clothes before we left?

Compa: No. Why?

IF: Well, Lowee is covered entirely in snow.

All The Other Girls: WHAT!?

 

When the group finally arrives at Lowee, all of them are freezing, except for IF. IF has a long coat, hat, and gloves on.

 

IF: We should get you guys some coats in town.

Lady Vert: Actually, I don't think I'd need one.

 

Lady Vert runs over and hugs IF.

 

IF: L-L-Lady Vert, why are you hugging me!?

Lady Vert: You wouldn't mind helping me to warm up, would you Iffy? Your skin's so soft.

IF: Ha ha! S-Stop it! It's embarrassing!

Neptune: I don't know, Iffy, you seem to be enjoying yourself.

IF: S-S-Shut up, N-Neptune!

Noire: Really, Vert? In public?

Neptune: Hey Noire, I'm sooooo cold. Mind warming me up?

Noire: D-D-Don't even-!

Neptune: Aww well. Let's leave those other two lovebirds behind and get some coats.

 

The group heads into town and buys some coats. Then they head up to the Basilicom. In her office, Blanc, White Heart, is busy typing on her laptop. Her maid enters the room.

 

Financier: Lady White Heart, you have visitors.

Blanc: Really? Who is it?

Neptune: Hellooo, Lady White Heart! We come to ask you for your help!

 

Blanc gets slightly annoyed by Neptune’s loud voice, but then she realizes that her laptop isn’t closed. She hastily closes it, and then composes herself.


Blanc: Who are you?

Neptune: I’m Neptune. The others are Noire, Vert, IF, and Compa. Noire, Vert, and I are goddesses, just like you.
Blanc: From the three other lands? What do you want?

Noire: To ask for your help.
Vert: Histoire has been kidnapped, and we would like for you to help us look for her.
Blanc: I would like to, but I have to deal with these monsters-
IF: About that. We’ve found out that the monsters are being manufactured, and it appears that a human male is behind it. Or, at least, partially. There could be others, but we don’t know at the moment.

Neptune: I bet that whoever is manufacturing these monsters are the same ones who kidnapped Histoire. 

Blanc: Perhaps. What you’ve said about the monsters being manufactured makes sense. My soldiers have located the source of the monsters that have been plaguing Lowee, and I intend to stop it.

Noire: Is it a factory?

Blanc: Yes. Well, since you’re here, we can go and stop it together.

Neptune: Phew! At least you’re a lot easier to work with than Noire is.

Noire: Ugh!

 

At the factory already, the mystery man from the Lastation factory runs inside. He arrives at a room where another man and a mysterious woman are talking.

 

Mystery Man: Ganache!

Ganache: What is it, Singe?

Singe: The Lastation factory is gone! Black Heart found our location!

Ganache: Hmm... This is troubling.

Mystery Woman: Don't worry about it, Ganache. Your Killachines are ready to go, and the other monsters are almost complete. That should be sufficient enough for the takeover.

Singe: But don't you two think that White Heart will find THIS factory?

Mystery Woman: Let her find us. If she does, I have a little gift waiting for her, compliments of Ganache. Now, stop babbling and get back to work. It's time we set our plan into motion.

 

The Lowee Factory.

The group follows White Heart to the factory. It looks exactly like the previous one from Lastation. They head inside the factory, and as expected, nothing is there.

 

Compa: Now, where's that secret button?

 

Suddenly, the floor opens up! Ganache, Singe, and a huge robot, standing behind them, appear from beneath the floor.

 

Ganache: Welcome goddesses! We hope you didn't have a hard flight over here.

 

Black Heart looks at Singe and immediately recognizes him.

 

Black Heart: You're the man from that factory in Lastation!

Singe: Yes. I apologize for failing to kill you earlier.

 

Black Heart gets angry.

 

Ganache: Oh Singe, you're such a sweet-talker. Anyway, ladies, you're about to witness the birth of a new world, ran by Avenir technology!

Purple Heart: Avenir?

Ganache: I was met by a very generous donor who gave me the funds to create Avenir, an organization geared towards biology, genetics, and technology. I created weapons that Gameindustri has never seen before, powerful enough to conquer all four lands! No one would be able to stop me, and the best part is, I did it right under your noses, White Heart and Black Heart! I started working on our projects in Lowee first, but the time came when I needed more advanced technology that could not be found here.

Singe: Then Ganache asked for my help in Lastation. I'm the best expert in the field of technology in Lastation, and it was easy to make adjustments to Ganache's projects with Lastation's advanced technology.

White Heart: Impressive, but something tells me that you two couldn't have done this by yourselves.

Black Heart: Yeah. Who's this "generous donor" that you referred?

Ganache: Well, Lady White Heart, I'm actually a fan of yours, so I'll do what my goddess commands of me.

 

White Heart is surprised.

 

Ganache: I'll tell you... if you can beat my robot!

 

Ganache takes out a controller and presses a button on it. The robot behind him and Singe comes to life.

 

Ganache: Behold: The Killachine!

 

The Killachine flies after the group and begins attacking them! It swings its axe at White Heart. She flies out of the way just before it hits her. IF and Compa try to attack it, but the robot electrocutes them and they fall to the ground. They're stunned and can't move.

 

Green Heart: Iffy!

Purple Heart: Compa!

 

Suddenly, the Killachine fires electricity at the four goddesses. They're stunned and fall down to the ground.

 

Ganache: HA! The stun weapon is working! They're unable to move!

Singe: This was easier than I thought!

 

The Killachine moves up to Purple Heart. It lifts its axe into the air, directly above her. Purple Heart tries her best to move. The Killachine starts swinging its axe. Then, Purple Heart manages to throws her sword at the Killachine! It cuts off the right arm of the robot, and it falls down to the ground with its axe in it. Ganache and Singe are shocked.

 

Ganache: Killachine: Kill them!

 

Before the robot could react, Green Heart throws a spear at the robots second arm, cutting it off. Then Black Heart throws her sword, cutting off the robot's tail. Then White Heart throws her axe at the robot's head, cutting it off. The head flies back and almost hits Ganache and Singe. The two men run before the head lands on them. The robot's body falls down to the ground, and the party is able to move again.

 

The Mystery Woman.

Green Heart: Did you really think that your wind-up toy could beat four goddesses?

White Heart: Now you two are heading straight to jail!

Ganache: NO! I'm not going down like this!

Mystery Woman: Sorry Ganache, but you and Singe have failed.

 

A spear comes out of nowhere and slices off Ganache's head!

 

Singe: Arfoire, wait!

 

Singe is also stabbed in the throat and his head falls off! The party is horrified. The mystery woman, hiding in the shadows, walks into the open. She's wearing a witches' hat and a long dark purple overcoat.

 

Purple Heart: You killed them!

Mystery Woman: I don't tolerate failure. Anyway, it's good to see you four again. You've all grown up so much, and you've met some new friends as well. Good for you.

Purple Heart: You know us?

Mystery Woman: Know you? 

 

The woman laughs.

 

Mystery Woman: My dear Neptune, I created all four of you CPUs, with the help of Histoire.

All Four CPUs: WHAT!?

Mystery Woman: Yes. She and I used to rule Gameindustri together, along with Rei Ryghts. After Rei Ryghts and I decided to work together, Histoire snuck away with the four of you so that you guys could rule instead. 

 

She takes a book out of her coat.

 

Mystery Woman: But now, I have Histoire, and the time has come for me and Rei Ryghts to take over Gameindustri once again!

Purple Heart: Release her!

 

The mystery woman laughs.

Mystery Woman: Come and get her!

 

The six women run up to her. She extends her hand. A red Sharecite hanging around her neck begins to glow and a red light shoots out of her hand. The light engulfs the entire group! They all fall down to the ground, and are paralyzed. She puts the book back in her coat, and walks up to the group.

 

Mystery Woman: That was easier than I expected. Of course, you all are just children.

Purple Heart: Who are you!?

Mystery Woman: My name is Arfoire, one of the original goddesses of Gameindustri, and soon to be your goddess once again!

 

Arfoire raises both of her hands, and she and the other women start to levitate off of the ground. 

 

Arfoire: It’s time to go back to Celestia!

 

In a flash of red light, everybody vanishes.
