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

This is a fan-made story written by me. Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Idea Factory, Compile Heart, Tamsoft, and Felistella.

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.

Hyperdimension Neptunia: Land of the Goddesses: Ep. 3: Leanbox.

This is a fan-made story written by me. Hyperdimension Neptunia belongs to Idea Factory, Compile Heart, Tamsoft, and Felistella.

Episode 3: Leanbox. The foursome then headed to Leanbox, "The Land of Green Pastures," to find Lady Green Heart. In the carriage ride over to the Basilicom, Neptune notices that IF seems particularly eager to be here. Her eyes light up as she glances at the buildings around her. She takes out her phone and starts recording a video.

IF: I’m finally in Leanbox! It’s been my life’s dream to meet Lady Green Heart in person, and I’m a couple of minutes away from-

 

Neptune gets in front of her phone’s camera.

 

Neptune: Are you recording our ride up to the Basilicom?
IF: Ugh!

 

IF stops the video.

 

IF: It’s nothing.

Neptune: You seem very happy, Iffy.

IF: “Iffy?”
Neptune: A nickname I came up for you.
IF: A nickname that’s longer than my actual name?
Neptune: You don’t like it?

IF: No… It’s okay.

Neptune: Anyway, like I was saying, you seem pretty happy to be here.

IF: Mmm… Not really.

A devious smile forms on Neptune’s face.

 

Neptune: I bet you’re here to see Lady Green Heart!

 

IF’s face turns bright red.

 

IF: N-N-N-NO! I’m just… happy to be here, like you’ve said.

Neptune: Iffy has a crush on Lady Green Heart!
IF: How old are you? 

 

The carriage finally arrives at the Basilicom. The four women walk up to the Basilicom and are greeted by two guards.

 

Guard 1: Sorry ladies, but Lady Green Heart is refusing to see any visitors right now. She's working.

Noire: This is urgent business between the goddesses. Tell her that Lady Black Heart and Purple Heart are here to see her.

Guard 2: You two are goddesses? Yeah, right. I bet you're cosplayers.

Neptune: Cosplay? What's that?

Noire: Y-Yeah... What is that?  

 

Noire’s cheeks turn red.

 

As the guards continue to argue with Neptune and Noire, IF waits impatiently behind the group. She constantly taps her foot on the ground in irritation with her arms crossed. She turns to the right, and then she notices something. On the far right side of the building is a window. IF sneaks away from the group and goes up to it. She reaches into her coat and takes out a small knife. She cuts a large circle into the glass of the window, and goes through the opening. She places the piece of glass back into place.

 

Once inside, IF is amazed at how big the Basilicom is! She takes her phone back out and starts to record a new video. She speaks in a low tone of voice.

 

IF: I’m finally inside the Basilicom. The only problem is that I don’t know where Lady Green Heart could be...

 

She walks down a hallway and is greeted by a fleet of stairs. She walks up the stairs and spots a room. She hesitantly opens the door and realizes that she's in someone's bedroom. On the bed, a woman is sleeping. Light shines on her face and it causes her to wake up. She yawns.

 

Mystery Woman: Who is it?

IF: I'm sorry! I was just... 

 

The woman leans up. Realizing that this is a bedroom that she’s in, a  thought comes into IF’s mind.

 

IF: Wait... Are you Lady Green Heart!?
Lady Green Heart: Yes, and I was in the middle of my-

 

Lady Green Heart rubs her eyes and looks at IF. IF glows in the sunlight, making Green Heart’s face blush.

 

Green Heart: My oh my!

IF: Was I disturbing your rest? I’m so so-
Green Heart: No! No! No! Please stay. 

 

She gets out of the bed and faces IF. IF can't believe what is happening.

 

IF: Wow! I can't believe that I'm meeting Lady Green Heart!

Green Heart: Please, call me "Vert," and I can't believe I'm talking to such a cute girl.

IF: M-Me... C-Cute!?

Lady Vert: What's your name?

IF: I-IF! 

Lady Vert: Such an awesome name! Say, IF, would you like to have some pastries?

 

Outside the Basilicom, the three women are still arguing with the guards.

 

Guard 1: Enough, ladies. You are not getting inside. Lady Green Heart said-
Noire: Enough of this!

 

Noire transforms into her goddess form. The guards jump back.

 

Black Heart: Let, Us. In!

 

The two guards start to tremble.

 

Guard 2: Y-Y-Yes ma’am!

Guard: What!?
Guard: Just let them go!

 

The two guards part to let the three women through. Black Heart transforms back into Noire.

 

Noire: Thank you, gents.

 

The three women walk inside the building. Neptune stops, turns around, and faces the guards again.

 

Neptune: Umm… Where is Green Heart right now?

 

Meanwhile, Lady Vert and IF are sitting down at a table eating.

 

IF: I hate to say this, but I had to break in in order to meet you.

Lady Vert: I know. I told my guards not to let anyone in so that I could sleep. I’ll be honest though, this is a lovely surprise.

IF: I really wanted to meet you Lady Vert, but I'm also here to ask you for a favor: I'm here with three other girls: Lady Purple Heart, Black Heart, and a nurse in training named Compa. I’m a member of the Guild. 

Lady Vert: Ah, the monster hunters.
IF: Yeah. We’re here to help you take down the monsters in Leanbox, but in return we’ll need your help in finding Histoire.

Lady Vert: Histoire? What happened to her?
IF: She was kidnapped from Neptune’s… Purple Heart’s, Basilicom. We need your help in finding her.

Lady Vert: Of course! Histoire is practically a mother to me and the other goddesses. I’ll do whatever I can to help.

IF: Thank you so much! Back in Lastation, we found out that these monsters are being manufactured.

Lady Vert: Manufactured?

IF: Yes. 

Lady Vert: In that case, fighting the monsters on each land is just delaying time that we could be using to stop whoever is creating them.

IF: Hmm… True. 

 

The three other girls appear.

 

Neptune: Hey, Iffy. I see you’ve found Lady Green Heart.

 

IF’s face turns red.

 

Lady Vert: Please, call me Vert. 

Noire: It’s nice to finally meet you in person, Lady Vert.

Lady Vert: You too, Noire. 

Noire: The purple-haired idiot is Neptune-

Neptune: Hey!

Noire: And the orange-haired girl is Compa.

Compa: Hello!

Lady Vert: It’s nice to meet you all, but I think we need to get to business. Iffy told me that you guys found out that the monsters are being manufactured by somebody.

IF: “Iffy?”

Lady Vert: I thought it sounded cute.

 

IF’s face turns red again, but even redder than before. Neptune smiles.

 

Neptune: You’re welcome.

Lady Vert: I think we should focus on finding the people, or person, responsible for making these abominations instead of wasting our time taking them out one by one. Also, I think we should go to the last goddess for her help as well.

Noire: Lady White Heart.

Lady Vert: Every little bit helps.

IF: Well then, I guess we’ll have to go to Lowee next. I was actually starting to enjoy myself though…

Lady Vert: Well, when we’re done Iffy, I’d be happy to have you back for an extended period of time.

 

IF’s face lights up!

 

IF: Really!?

 

She stops and turns to Neptune, who has a smug smile on her face. IF clears her throat.

 

IF: I would appreciate that.

 

Lady Vert wiggles. She grabs IF’s hand.

 

Lady Vert: Great. Then, let us depart.

 

The two of them basically skip out of the room. Compa follows them. Noire and Neptune are the last to leave.

 

Neptune: So… 

Noire: So what?
Neptune: Aren’t you having fun?
Noire: We’re on a mission to save our lands from being destroyed by monsters. There’s no time to have fun!

 

Neptune actually turns serious for a second. 

 

Neptune: You know what I mean. You said that you prefer to be alone, but now you’re out of Lastation and seeing new things, and meeting new people. We would have never met each other, or Vert, or IF and Compa, if we didn’t decide to leave our Basilicoms and lands. Being stuck in my Basilicom all the time almost drove me insane. I want to find Histoire and stop the monsters too, but I’m glad that I met you Noire, and the others.

 

Noire’s face turns red.

 

Noire: Well… I am glad that we’re working together… J-Just so that we can get the job done! It’s not like I’m happy to be with you or anything! 

Neptune: ...I know…

Noire: Huh?
Neptune: I can be a handful, but I’m like this because I just want people to be happy. I like being comical. I actually don’t like fighting. I would rather have everybody be friends, eat snacks, and play video games all day. 

Noire: …That’s not possible.

NeptuneL Right now, no, but someday… 

 

Noire stares at Neptune in amazement. Suddenly, Neptune perks up and grabs Noire’s hand.

 

Neptune: But in order for that day to come, we’ll have to save the world first!

 

The two of them begin running to catch up with the others. Noire can’t help but to smile at Neptune.
