A week since the goddesses fought Arfoire in Celestia. They have been at work training their new recruits. Previously, Histoire told the four goddesses how she and Arfoire created them. Using that information, and with the power of the Sharecite from each of their lands, Neptune, Noire, and Blanc created sisters, also known as CPU Candidates! Neptune created Nepgear, Noire created Uni, and Blanc created Rom and Ram. The three goddesses teach their new proteges how to fight in preparation for the ultimate battle between them and the rogue goddesses: Arfoire and Rei Ryghts. However, there seems to be some competition between two of the sisters...
Another week passes. The sisters have finished training in simulations and are now being taught how to kill monsters. These monsters, created by Arfoire and Rei Ryghts, are still running around Gameindustri. The group is in Planeptune this time. The four new sisters were split into two teams: Nepgear and uni, and Ram and Rom. Nepgear and Uni head off into one direction. Nepgear begins to look around.
Nepgear:
Nothing yet.
Uni:
I can see that.
Nepgear:
Sorry. I was just-
Uni:
Do you always have to apologize? It's kind of annoying!
Nepgear:
Sorry!
Uni:
Ugh... Never-
Uni looks down for a second on her right. A pack of wolf monsters appears below her.
Uni:
I've found some!
Uni flies down immediately towards the pack.
Nepgear:
Uni, wait!
Uni reaches the ground and begins to fire at the wolves. She kills a couple of them with her rifle.
Uni (In her head):
Yes! Now Noire can be proud of me!
To her surprise though, the wolves don't run away. They increase in number!
Uni:
So you brought in some friends, eh? No matter! I'm going to kill all of-
One wolf runs up behind Uni and lunges at her! Uni tries to turn around, but she's not fast enough! Nepgear flies down and shoots the wolf. She lands on the ground. The two of them face back-to-back, aiming their weapons at the pack.
Uni:
Took you long enough!
Nepgear:
You went on without me! We're a team, remember?
The two of them shoot down more wolves. They begin to flee, but one more wolf stalks Nepgear. It charges towards her. Uni is distracted by the other wolves to notice. The wolf hits Nepgear from behind, forcing her to hit the ground! The wolf reaches for her head, but Nepgear blocks its jaws with her gun! Uni shoots the wolf, and its body goes limp. She shoves the body off of her. The wolf pack runs away. Uni walks over to Nepgear.
Nepgear:
I thought you had my back?
Uni:
You should have been more careful! I had my own hands full. I don't have time to babysit you!
Nepgear:
We're a te-
Uni:
I DON'T CARE! Noire is never going to respect me if i don't learn to take care of myself!
Nepgear begins to cry.
Nepgear:
Some teammate you are. You don't care if I die. You just want to impress your sister!
Nepgear gets up from the ground and flies away. Uni is left by herself.
Lover's Quarrel.
Nepgear flies back to the Basilicom. She lands on the balcony that leads to Neptune's bedroom. However, she stops at the entrance when she hears to voices arguing with each other. She sneaks behind a wall on the left, and peeks her head through the entranceway. It's Neptune and Noire. Neptune is on her bed while Noire is pacing back-and-forth on the floor.
Noire:
You were sleeping again!?
Neptune:
I felt sleepy after eating some pudding. I was going to wake back up.
Noire:
Ugh! This is why Nepgear isn't as strong as the other sisters.
Neptune:
Hey! Nepgear is just as strong as the others!
Noire:
Yeah, right. She's terrified of everything and can barely work properly. You, on the other hand, are a lazy bum and can't do anything properly. Like sister like sister.
Neptune:
Oh, really? Well, let me tell you something about YOUR sister!
Noire:
Heh. What about her?
Noire:
She's a know-it-all who doesn't know how to work with others. That's going to get her killed in a real fight. Then again, look at who's training her...
Noire:
I'm training Uni to be independent.
Neptune:
You're training her to be a jerk that will end up alone, just like you were in the beginning.
Noire:
Bite me!
Neptune:
And you better be glad that Nepgear hangs out with Uni at all. Neither Ram, or Rom, wanted to tag up with her before they left to fight monsters today.
Noire:
S-Shut up! I'll give Nepgear some props though: She's more mature than you are... Both physically and mentally!
Neptune:
Hey!
Noire:
At least she looks like a goddesses in her human as well. You look like a child that hasn't gone through puberty yet.
Neptune:
Why, you little-
Nepgear knocks timidly on the wall. Noire and Neptune turn to look at her.
Nepgear:
Umm... Hi.
Neptune:
Nepgear! We were just... Uh...
Noire:
W-Where's Uni?
Uni:
Right here.
Uni flies down onto the balcony. She looks disappointed.
Noire:
Then we'll be taking our leave then. Maybe tomorrow, Neptune, you'll wake up and become a more mature person like I am.
Neptune:
Just leave.
Noire walks out to the balcony. She transforms into her goddess form, and both she and Uni fly back to Lastation. Back inside the bedroom, Neptune is pouting on her bed. Nepgear transforms into her human form.
Nepgear:
I had another fight with Uni today...
Neptune:
It looks like we're both having trouble with the Lastation goddesses.
Nepgear:
Do you think that they're right?
Nepgear sits down on the bed next to Neptune.
Neptune:
...Noire was partially right about one thing. I've always had a problem with maturity. I'm more... relaxed, compared to the other goddesses. It has caused some problems in the past, like Histoire being kidnapped.
She turns to look at Nepgear. She wraps her arm around her.
Neptune:
I promise to be a better sister. I just need something to help me.
An idea pops into her head.
Neptune:
There might be something that can! However, it might be a little dangerous...
Neptune takes out a book, and places it on the bed.
Neptune:
This is Arfoire's spell book. The goddesses and I took it from Celestia after our battle. There has to be something in here that can help.
Nepgear:
Help the both of us.
Neptune:
Are you sure?
Nepgear:
I can't do anything the way I am now. I'm in.
Neptune:
Okay then. Let's look inside this bad boy.
After reading for about thirty minutes...
Neptune:
Ugh! There's so many spells about destroying stuff. I don't see anything that can help us out.
Nepgear turns a page, and notices something.
Nepgear:
Wait! What's this?
Neptune reads out loud what the writing says.
Neptune:
"Growth Potion: This remedy can make an individual mature at a rapid pace. Side note: This spell works wonder with the monsters. Singe and Ganache report that the monsters have increased in production with a quicker growth rate. I must make more of this!"
Nepgear:
Do you think that it'll work on goddesses?
Neptune:
Don't know. Let's find out!
IF: CPU Candidate of Leanbox:
That same night, IF is driving home on her motorcycle when she gets a call on her cellphone. She pulls over to answer it.
IF:
Hey Vert, what's up?
Vert:
Hey... Are you busy at the moment?
IF:
No, I'm free. What's up?
Vert:
Is it alright if I asked you to come over?
IF:
Sure. Is everything alright?
Vert:
Yes. I just have something to show you.
IF:
Okay. I'm on my way now.
IF makes her way to the Leanbox Basilicom.
IF:
So, what do you want to show me?
Vert:
Follow me.
IF was surprised to see Vert being serious. As they were walking, Vert divulged something to her.
Vert:
I don't have a sister, or CPU Candidate, like the other goddesses. I was actually thinking of recruiting someone instead of making one. You're the only person that I would want to be my CPU Candidate. This is why I brought you here.
Vert leads her to a room where a Sharecite is.
Vert:
This is Leanbox's Sharecite.
She walks over to it, extends her hand out, and a fragment of the Sharecite falls off and turns into a miniature Sharecite.
Vert:
This miniature Sharecite will allow you to transform into a goddess.
IF:
Me... a goddess!?
Vert:
You can live with me forever... I-I mean, you can live forever, and you'll be an even stronger fighter. However, I don't want to force you into becoming my CPU Candidate. The decision is up to you.
IF doesn't hesitate. She takes the Sharecite from Vert's hand.
Vert: You'll have to swallow it like a pill.
Vert hands her a cup of water. After swallowing the Sharecite, IF's body glows. She begins to transforms! Blue and black armor form around her body. She is now a goddess! Her legs are a bit wobbly after that, but Vert catches her before she hits the ground.
IF (CPU):
Wow! So this is what it's like...
Vert:
It'll take some time, but you'll get use to the armor. Now, there's one more thing I want to ask you.
IF (CPU):
Yes...
Vert:
Since you're now my Candidate, would you... like to move in with me?
Iffy's face lights up.
IF (CPU):
Yes!
Vert smiles. She hugs IF.
Vert:
I finally have a CPU Candidate, and I wouldn't have it be anyone else! We have to celebrate!
Vert gets a call on her cellphone. She takes it out and sees Neptune's name pop up. A little while later, Neptune shows up at the Basilicom. Vert appears with a bag of ingredients.
Neptune:
Thanks, Vert! Sorry for the late night intrusion.
Vert:
No problem. However, I must ask: What are you making?
Neptune:
Eh?
Vert:
Those ingredients are used to make potions and spells.
Neptune:
Oh no! I'm using them to make something new for dinner. I just needed some ingredients that we didn't have in Planeptune.
Vert:
Oh?
Neptune:
Welp, I'll be on my way. Tell Iffy I said hi!
Vert:
I will.
Neptune transforms, and flies back to Planeptune. Vert just stands there. IF, back in her human form, walks up to Vert.
IF:
What's wrong?
Vert:
Something seemed... off about Neptune just now. I have a suspicious feeling...
The Growth Potion.
Back in Planeptune, in the Basilicom's kitchen, Neptune and Nepgear finish mixing the ingredients into a pot. They turn into a purple soup.
Neptune:
It looks like it's ready.
Neptune and Nepgear grab two mugs and take a swing into the mixture.
Nepgear:
I hope this works. Maybe I'll finally be able to be a better Candidate.
Neptune:
Maybe I'll finally be a better goddess.
Neptune extends her mug to Nepgear.
Neptune:
Cheers!
Nepgear does the same.
Nepgear:
Cheers!
The two mugs clank against each other, and then the two of them down the potion immediately.
Neptune:
Not bad...
Nepgear:
Could use some flavor though.
Neptune:
Well, what matters is that we're suppose to mature. Let's hope this potion does what it's suppose to do.
Both of them stand still for about a minute.
Nepgear:
I don't feel anything.
Neptune:
Me neither.
Neptune slams her fist down onto the kitchen counter.
Neptune:
Ugh! I should have known better than to trust Arfoire's stupid book! Now I have to pay Vert back for waisting her ingredients.
Neptune takes a big yawn.
Neptune:
It is late, isn't it? Let's get some sleep. Goodnight, sis.
Nepgear:
Goodnight.
Both of them go to their bedrooms. They change into their night gowns, and immediately fall asleep. During the night, both of them writhe in her sleep. In the morning, Neptune wakes up. She feels... weird. She tries to get out of bed, but she falls off and lands on her butt instead. She notices that her hair is longer. She looks down and sees a more... voluptuous body.
Neptune:
I must be dreaming!
Nepgear:
No, you're not!
Nepgear enters the room. She also has a new body! The two look at each other and smile.
Both of them:It worked!
Well, I know where my spell book went to.
Arfoire:
What is it?
I don't think we're the only ones spying on these girls...
