In Mother Dimension
...
..
.
Deity of Sin: "Now then...using these pawns it should lead me to Si's Location... wherever she is the pawns will swarm to her..."
...Within the Deity's hand was a handful of deformed creatures, these were once normal monsters and other beings from other dimensions... she has used her powers to change them into horrific beings that will search for the "Creator" in seek of cure to their dire state...
Deity of Sin: "Oh? Ahahaha... really now... after all this time, you were there? Oh well... I can't really afford getting trapped in there again... so how about I do this instead..."
From the mother dimension, the Deity of Sin holds Hyperdimension in her hands, she then released a miasma that enveloped the world...
Deity of Sin: "Uhuhu~ Let's see if you can survive this crisis..."

Hyperdimension
Grun: "Cloin...To Slumber YOU must go, roots THEY must sever sins and mistakes YOU must face, THEY must show you the way, and with acceptance YOU will be saved... Can you elaborate?"
Vert: "Hmm? Isn't that a bit different from what you said to me?"
Grun: "What do you mean?"
Vert: "What she said to me was almost the same, but it goes like this..."
-To Slumber THEY must go, roots YOU must sever, sins and mistakes THEY must face, YOU must show them the way, and with acceptance THEY will be saved-
Grun: "Wait... You mean...!"
The lord knew what it meant, but he was hesitant to explain it... He gazed at Cloin for confirmation, but the Creator only said the following
Cloin: "My piece is said, the choice is yours and yours alone."
Grun: "Then... I must consult my brothers... Vert, summon the CPUs and CPU candidates as well..."
Vert: "O-okay...but why?"
Grun: "...I'll explain later..."
Everyone was summoned to Planeptune's Basilicom... First to arrive were the ones from Lastation.
...
..
.
Grun: "Schwarz, you're here."
Vert: "Oh My! What happened to Noire!?"
...Noire was unconscious while she was carried over by Schwarz...
Schwarz: "There was a bit of trouble... I told her she needed rest but... Grun, you said this was important right?"
Grun: "Yes..."
Uni: "Can we put sis on the bed Next to Miss Neptune at least?"
Vert: "Of Course."
Schwarz: "Geez... I'm still scolding you after this you got that..."
...Schwarz leaves this remark after gently putting Noire down...
Creak~
Histoire: "Oh my! I hadn't noticed but we have guests!"
Grun: "Ah, Histoire sorry for the sudden entrance."
Luna: "Vert, Grun, what brings you here today?"
Vert: "Well... We came to see Cloin, well... actually..."
Vert explains the situation...
Luna: "I see."
Vert: "Hmm? You don't seem surprised, did you know that Emerald was inside Cloin's pendant?"
Luna: "No, but I did have this feeling that she had the same aura as Emerald but I did not expect Cloin to be the Creator of all things."
Grun: "Well, that's the story."
Luna: "I'm glad to hear that Emerald regenerating, will she be able to come back soon?"
Cloin: "For now, you must wait."
Histoire: "To be able to bring back someone from the afterlife, you certainly are amazing Cloin."
Cloin: "Ah... But I can't bring people back to life."
Everyone: "Eh?!"
Cloin: "Emerald didn't die... her spirit was merely torn... that's why I can regenerate her."
Grun: "But wait, the reflux from the seal, didn't cause her to break?"
Cloin: "It did... but remember, Broken does not equal Death, if she did lose her life, then her spirit would have been long gone."
Histoire: "Still, being able to save her at that state, it's still amazing."
Cloin: "Thank you."
Luna: "...So Cloin, what must we do now... to survive this crisis?"
Vert: "I believe Grun knows, but he said we should wait for the others."
...after a few minutes, The Loweenians arrived...
Ram: "BOOO!!! Bad timing guys! We were going to the hot springs!"
Rom: "Yeah~ Bad timing~"
Blanc: "It was actually good timing though... (I can't let a boy see me naked)"
Vert: "Apologies, but we have matters to attend to first."
The twins marched inside the Basilicom only to bump into Cloin...
Rom: "Oof~!"
Cloin: "Oh! I'm sorry, are you hurt?"
Ram: "Ah..."
Rom: "Oh, Hello Miss Cloin, I'm fine, don't worry~"
Cloin: "Good to hear."
Ram: "Emerald!"
CRASHHHHHH!!!
Cloin: "OWWW!"
...Unable to resist the urge to hold her, Ram tackled her down to the ground...
Weiz: "Ram, she's not Emerald remember"
Ram: "No way! I see her! Can't you see her guys!"
Rom: "Fweh~?"
Blanc: "Ram, I know you miss her, but she's not Emerald."
Ram: "No, just look carefully it is her!"
Weiz: "Ram..."
Rom: "Ram, are you sure?"
Ram: "Of course I'm sure look she's right—Ah!?"
Cloin: "Oww..."
Ram: "She's gone...?"
The CPU candidate stood up and looked around her...
Ram: "She's not here anymore..."
Cloin: "Hm? Little one..."
Ram: "Wha! Hey let me go!"
...Cloin grabbed Ram's arm, this was the arm that Amon grabbed...
Cloin: "This Crest... It's one of the Deity's Crest..."
Blanc: "What!?"
Weiz: "I thought that was Amon's seal."
Cloin: "Indeed, your beast has left his mark on this girl."
Weiz: "What will that do to her?"
Cloin: "If you were to fall and lose your life, Amon made sure to transfer his powers to her."
Weiz: "What!?"
Cloin: "Even now, the girl can conjure some of his powers..."
Blanc: "This is absurd! Get that off of her right now!"
Cloin: "Actually this proves to be very convenient for our side."
Ram: "Really?"
Rom: "Why is that so~?"
Cloin: "This ensures that Amon does not return to the Deity of Sin if ever Weiz was to fall..."
Weiz: "So he was making sure his powers don't fall onto bad company?"
Blanc: "Tch! What the hell! Then don't ever kick the bucket Weiz!"
Weiz: "H-huh!?"
Blanc: "I don't want my sister taking that bastard in her body got that!?"
... UTTER SILENCE ...
Blanc: "W-what?"
Cloin: "*ahem*... Anyway... Shall we go with the others now."
Weiz: "You sure say some really obscene things Blanc..."
Blanc: "Obscene...?"
Ram: "Huh?"
Rom: "I don't get it..."
Blanc: "Hmm...? Ah! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I didn't mean it like that you jerk!"
Ram: "Wah! Sis snapped all of a sudden!"
Rom: "HUWWWIIIII~~!"
...And now Ironically even though it's there Basilicom, the Planeptune Party arrives late...
Adult Neptune: "POWAH~~~! I'm tired... my legs are jello... someone get me some pudding!"
Nepgear: "Aww Big Sis, we were only patrolling for a little bit..."
Genesis: "Hah! even though your older than that slacker you still act the same way... what a joke."
Adult Neptune: "What!? You talkin schmucks at me punk! I ought to Nep you up into next week."
Uzume: "Calm down Big Nepsy, and Genesis, couldn't you have said it a little nicer?"
Genesis: "Whatever..."
Adult Neptune: "Anyway, can you just change into Lighty?"
Genesis: "Lighty? Neptunio?"
Adult Neptune: "Yup! Just pull him out and you can go to sleep Darky!"
Genesis: "Hey, don't call me that."
Adult Neptune: "Ehhh~ Why not? You're clothes has this dark and evil theme to it."
Genesis: "I swear... I'm gonna slap you silly..."
Adult Neptune: "Nepu! Winners don't do Violence!"
Genesis: "Haah..."
...
..
.
Nepgear: "I guess you could say, they are getting along in their own way?"
Uzume: "Haha, Yeah I guess. Oh yeah, hey Gearsy?"
Nepgear: "Hm?"
Uzume: "You said Neptunio's been watching over us CPU's when he was still in his sleeping state right? Does that mean, he was watching over me too?"
Nepgear: "Hmm... Well..."
Genesis: "Of course he was."
Uzume: "Eh?"
Genesis: "And boy was he panicking after you went and got yourself-"
Uzume: "Ah! Ah! Ah! I got it, I'm sorry okay!"
Genesis: "Heh, but the dude never did abandon ya, you know."
Uzume: "R-really?"
Genesis: "Yup... When he had time, he would connect his mind to yours, he really wanted to help you, and he almost did actually, if we hadn't stopped him, he might have jumped in to save you."
Uzume: "...I see..."
Genesis: "But it all worked out anyway, you met your junior CPUs and look where you are now, you're happy as can be."
Uzume: "Yeah..."
Nepgear: "Uuu~"
Adult Neptune: "Ho-ho~ even Darky can say some nice things huh?"
Genesis: "I said stop calling me that, do you want me to shove an eggplant into your mouth?"
Adult Neptune: "OH SNEP! NO, PLEASE, ANYTHING BUT THAT LORD GENESIS!"
Genesis: "Anything?"
Adult Neptune: "U-uhh... that face tells me you're planning something devious, no sketchy stuff ok!?"
Genesis: "Tch."
Adult Neptune: "Wait... you were really planning something Naughty!?"
Genesis: "Hey, I'm just a guy, and you've got a nice bod, why not have fun with it?"
Adult Neptune: "Say what!?"
Nepgear: "...Mmm... You guys sure are having fun."
Genesis "And for the record I've seen Nepgear naked in person."
Uzume and Adult Neptune: "W-W-W-WHAT!!!!"
Nepgear: "What the goodness!? Since when!?"
Genesis: "Since that time in the shower-"
Nepgear: "AWAWAWAWAWAWAWA!!!! I thought you said to keep that secret!"
Genesis: "Ehh? Why not? Not like anything happened..."
Nepgear: "S-still!"
Uzume and Adult Neptune: "Nepgear... you've grown so much..."
Nepgear: "Wait no! Nothing happened!"
Genesis: "Whoops..."
CRACKLE
Neptunio: "All right, that's enough horsing around."
Nepgear: "*hic* No~ *Uwahhhh* this is worse than what Plutia did to me... This is so embarrassing."
Neptunio: "Come on Jr. Cheer up, I'll get ya a new release of that circuit board that you wanted."
Nepgear: "Really!? That's a promise okay! Yay!"
Uzume: "She's still a child after all..."
Adult Neptune: "I don't know, she does have bigger chests than you Uzume."
Uzume: "In this form that is, but when we transform-"
Neptunio: "She's way more mature than you then..."
Uzume: "Auu~ That's right... Aww... Why can't I stay cool when I transform...?"
Neptunio: "That's fine really... At least it shows the inherited emotions clearly."
Uzume: "Huh?"
...Neptunio taps Uzume's head gently, he looks straight into her eyes and then ruffles her hair a little bit...
Uzume: "Huwah~"
Adult Neptune: "Uh... Why is the place turning pink?"
Neptunio: "Oh Hey, Neptune."
Adult Neptune: "What's Neppin?"
Neptunio: "Here."
...Neptunio pulls out a cup of pudding and presents it to the Adult Neptune.
Adult Neptune: "Wowzers! An Exclusive Prower Pudding! Thanks!"
Neptunio: "You should thank Genesis, he bought that earlier."
Adult Neptune: "Really? Hey, do you mind switching back?"
Neptunio: "Sure."
CRACKLE!
Genesis: "What is it this tim-"
Adult Neptune: "chu! Thanks <3!"
CRACKLE!
Neptunio: "Huh? Already over?"
Genesis: <WHAT THE !!(*@(!&#(@*#@(*#(@*(&(!!!!????>
Adult Neptune: "Ahahaha! Did you see how his face was glowing red!? What a child!"
Nepgear: "Uuuu~ Come on you guys!"
Neptunio: "Okay! We're coming!"

BASILICOM NEPTUNE AND NEPGEAR'S ROOM
In a Corner
Noire: "I'm sorry..."
Schwarz: "You should be! Don't worry us like that!"
Uni: "Sis, I'm with Schwarz on this one..."
Noire: "Uuu~ I get it already...ugh, this must be how it feels to be scolded, just like how Histoire scolds Neptune..."
Schwarz: "Also, you knew you were not feeling well and –(SCOLDING INTENSIFIES)"
On the couch
Weiz: "Oho..! I saw that coming but he still deserved it, you dunce!"
Blanc: "H-heeeh what an idiot... (It was still too obvious? Gotta work on those twists later...)"
Luna: "Weizy~ Play with me~"
Weiz: "Umm... Hey can you move a little bit? You're kinda squishing me here..."
Blanc: "Don't mind me, just keep reading..."
Luna: "Come on, I'm bored!"
Weiz: "I'm trying to read here girls-"
Blanc: "Just DO IT!"
Weiz: "O-Okay..."
At the Bed
Ram: "Ahahahahahaha! Look Rom! Neptune's a Kitty Cat!"
Rom: "Ahaha~ She looks silly!"
Ram: "Here! we can give her some blushies so she'll look cute!"
Rom: "Yeah~"
Cloin: "And then add a swirly over here Pfft-!"
Rom: "S-she looks funny~ Pfft~!"
Cloin: "This is too much Ahahahaha!"
Neptune: "Nepu......~"
Ram and Rom: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Compa: "Nep-Nep is being vandalized... but I guess the Twins are enjoying it so..."
Histoire: "Someone stop them please!"
By the Window
IF: "So then, what we need to do now is..."
Grun: "Yes, can you take care of things for us?"
IF: "Leave it to me. I'll keep my agents updated and prepared."
Vert: "Thank you IF."
...
..
.
Nepgear: "Ahaha... Things are getting out of hand here I see..."
Neptunio: "No kidding..."
Uzume; "Well we're here so I guess proper introductions are needed."
Adult Neptune: "Hmm... I kinda have mixed feelings seeing my younger face turned into a canvas... but oh well.. Hey guys! We're here!"
...When Neptune called out the loud atmosphere quieted down and Neptunio approached Grun.
Neptunio: "So... are we really going through with this?"
Grun: "We have to..."
Neptunio: "Alright..."
Weiz: "When we go back into full slumber, everything that happened thus far will be forgotten by us."
Schwarz: "Yeah..."
Blanc: "Why will you forget?"
Grun: "The beings you see before you now, are nothing but fragments of our true selves, think of it as a separate entity... Everything that these fragments have seen belong to these fragments alone... so if we return into full slumber, then all these encounters will be forgotten..."
Noire: "I see..."
Vert: "You understood all that...?"
Noire: "More or less... What they are saying is that everything that happened here will be nothing but a dream to them. Those battles, those hardships... everything... It will all turn into small pieces of faded memories..."
Blanc: "That's a little sad..."
Luna: "I know... But if we are to stop the Deity then we must do so."
Vert: "...Would you mind explaining to us what will happen now, Grun?"
Grun: "Right... Before we go into Full Slumber, you CPU's will have to enter a Full Dive state into our minds..."
Schwarz: "This will allow you to maintain connection with our thoughts..."
Weiz: "Be warned though, what you will see is something that is very disturbing, but you must endure..."
Neptunio: "...I don't like this idea..."
Schwarz: "We have no choice..."
Neptunio "So we will literally be an open book now...? They will see everything..."
Grun: "I know... even I'm a little hesitant to go with this... But as lords... we must do so."
Noire: "Wait what about Neptune? She still hasn't woken up."
Histoire: "If that's what you're worried about, then I have an answer to that..."
DING! DONG!
...Someone rang the door bell...
Histoire: "Oh, that must be them."
Nepgear: "I got it!"
...Nepgear approached the door and opened it... however when she did...
???: "Nepugya!"
Nepgear: "GUH! GuhaA!!AA!!!!!!!"
She is met with a very string blow to her stomach, someone just literally charged into her at full speed... she felt her guts clenching to the pain as her eyes roll backward...
Nepgear: "guha...."
???: "AHAHAHAHHA! Nepugya's so weak!"
???: "Ooooohhh Noooo~ I'm sorry Neppy Jr.~ She got away from me..."
The loud energetic voice was accompanied by someone with a very sleepy tone of voice...
Uni: "AH!"
Rom: "It's...~"
Ram: "Peashy!"
Peashy: "Oh! Rom, Ram, Uni! Hello!"
Uni: "Why are you here?"
Peashy: "The big Histoire called!"
???: "Ehehe~ Hello girls... Have you been good?"
Rom, Ram, and Uni: "Heeee!? Yes we were Miss Plutia!"
Plutia: "Awww...~ You don't have to be so scared...~"
Noire: "You two... Why did Histoire call you?"
Plutia: "Welll~ She said Neppy was in bit of a situation and needed shares... So we from Ultradimension, pitched in and gathered shares for her..."
Adult Neptune: "As expected of Plutie ready to help when you need her!"
Plutia: "Oh! Big Neppy is here too! Yay! Hey~ can I sleep on your boobies again~?"
Adult Neptune: "Plutie we have bigger things to worry about here."
Plutia: "Aww~ everyone's been so distant to me lately..."
Blanc: "Well... after seeing what you did... who could really blame them..."
Plutia: "But~ Everyone in Ultradimension were nice to me...even the Blanny from there is very sweet..~ but here... uuuu~ I don't like this..."
Neptunio: "Well... don't worry about it..."
Plutia: "Fuweh~?"
Neptunio: "If you're here to help then you're more than welcome."
Plutia: "Umm... Who are you...?"
Peashy: "A stranger..."
Neptunio: "Agh... Right we weren't properly introduced huh... I'm Neptunio Purple Lord of Thunder."
Plutia: "Neptunio...? Hmm... Then I'll call you Tuny..."
Neptunio: "Tuny...?"
Plutia: "Uh-huh~! Since you're Neptunio, I'll call you Tuny for short~!"
Peashy: "Uuu~ I don't know him... Go away!"
Neptunio: "Ahaha... I guess she doesn't like me that much."
Plutia: "Peashy~ Don't be rude... Say hi...~"
Peashy "Okay... H-hi..."
Neptunio: "Hello..."
...After greeting him, Peashy hid behind Plutia...
Plutia: "Ahaha~ She's usually really active... Sorry about this..."
Neptunio: "No, it's okay... I guess children's senses are just strong against danger..."
Genesis: <No their not... You're just bad at kids...>
CRACKLE!
Weiz and Schwarz: "..."
Genesis: "Tch. Watch me."
Plutia: "WAHHH~!! He changed! What happened!?"
Genesis: "Yo, the name's Genesis..."
Peashy: "Hiiii!!"
Plutia: "Hey you're scaring her... I don't like it when someone scares Peashy..."
...Plutia's aura started to turn dark and the room became chilly all of a sudden...
Plutia: "You better fix that or I'm going to get really angr-"
Genesis "Yeah, whatever." *Flick!*
Plutia: "Puruun~!"
Genesis flicked Plutia's forehead with no fear and everyone who saw it went into shock.
Blanc: "Whoa! Did he just!?"
Noire: "Yes he did!"
Vert: "Amazing!"
Plutia: "Owwie.... That hurt~"
Genesis: "Oops, I guess I flicked ya too hard..."
Peashy: "Uuuurghhh! No one hits Plute! Pea will hit you for that!"
...Peashy revs up her right arm and unleashed a powerful punch at Genesis...
Genesis: "Hmph..."
CRASHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...The punch was so powerful it rattled the entire Basilicom... as expected from someone in the Ultradimension... The power behind that punch was beyond comprehension coming from a little girl... but...
Sizzle....!!!
Peashy: "Eh...!?"
Genesis: "That all you got...?"
Uni: "He caught that punch with his bare hands!?"
Peashy: "Urrrggh!! Lemme go! Lemme go!"
...The open palm and fists met with smoke and a sizzling sound coming from it...
Peashy: "Grrr! I'll hit really hard!"
...SHIIIIIIINGGGGG!!!!!
A bright light, Peashy went HDD....
Yellow Heart: "Hunyanyanyanya! Guard Break!"
...A barrage of punches and then finally a charged up punch! But once again, Genesis just caught them all... and then he grabs Yellow Heart by the shoulder and brings her closer...
Plutia: "Peashy~!"
Yellow Heart: "Agh!"
...Yellow heart closed her eyes to brace herself from impact... but... nothing came... she kept her eyes closed... she scared for what might come...
Genesis: "Hey... Say ahhh..."
Yellow Heart: "Ahh?"
PLOP!
Yellow Heart: "Hamu!?"
...Whe she opened her mouth a spoon full of pudding came inside and the flavor spreads around her mouth...
Genesis: "Is it good?"
Yellow Heart: "ehehe~ YEAH!"
SHIIIIINGGGG!!!
...Peashy turns HDD off and she turns back into a small little girl, Genesis catches her in his arms and continues o feed her...
Peashy: "It's pudding!"
Genesis: "Duh... What did you think it was?"
Peashy: "Hmmm...a punch?"
Genesis: "Oh please... I would never hit a kid..."
Peashy: "Ahahahaha! Thanks Mister... umm...?"
Genesis: "Genesis... GE-NE-SIS."
Peashy: "Gene-..Gen... GENIE!"
Genesis: "Oi..."
Peashy: "Thanks for the Pudding Genie!"
Genesis: "Hah... fine Genie then... You're welcome little squirt..."
Plutia: "WOW! I've never seen anyone make friends with Peashy so quickly, you must be very special."
Genesis: "Not really... I used to take care of little kids before so I'm kinda used to this..."
Histoire: "Umm.... Everyone...? I know we are enjoying this scene but we have pressing matters to attend to..."
Plutia: "OH NO~! I completely forgot!"
...Plutia hands Histoire an orb of pure share energy...
Plutia: "This is the most that we could gather... I hope it's enough."
Histoire: "No, this is more than enough."
Plutia: "Ehehe~ the Noire from there worked really hard for this."
Noire: "Oh...? So the me from there is really hardworking too."
Plutia: "Uh-huh, she worked so hard that she's currently bed ridden right now."
Schwarz: "So she's pretty much you Noire... Literally..."
Noire: "Uuu~ Shut up already!"
Grun: "How do we give that Orb to Neptune?"
Histoire: "We administer it through the Sharicite..."
...Histoire summons the Sharicite and fused it with the orb... the Sharicite glowed brighter and brighter... and then a few seconds later...
Neptune: "...Uuu~..."
Vert: "She's waking up!"
...The slumbering CPU stretched her arms and yawned...
Neptune: "Fuwaaaahhhhh~~~! What's... for breakfast?"
...Neptune rubbed her eyes as she asked the question... Then...
Plop!
Neptune: "Nepu!"
Genesis: "Hey there sleepy head..."
Neptune: "Genesis...?"
Genesis: "Sorry but you just missed breakfast..."
Neptune: "WHAT!? NO WAY!"
Noire: "For someone who nearly died, you sure are energetic."
Neptune: "Nearly died...? Oh that's right!"
Peashy: "Neptuna!"
Neptune: "GUHHHHAAAAAA!!! P-ko... I just woke up... please don't do that..."
Plutia: "I'm so glad you woke up Neppy~!"
Neptune: "Plutie's here too...? What's going on?"
Histoire: "Allow me to explain..."
...(EXPLANATION)...
Neptune: "So I've been sleeping all this time?"
Neptunio: "Yup... But hey, this time WE will be the ones sleeping... and Neptune..."
Neptune: "What is it Nio?"
Neptunio: "Well... Don't ever change... okay?"
Neptune: "What do you mean...?"
Neptunio: "You'll know soon enough..."
Neptune: "Okay..."
Uzume: "Umm... Guys... I think we left someone still knocked out on the floor here..."
Everyone turns to look at the fallen body on the floor... Nepgear...
Nepgear: "Urghhh..."
Neptune: "Holy Neps! Nep Jr.! Wake up! Wake up!"
...After waking Nepgear up...
Nepgear: "Ahh... Why is it that when Peashy and Plutia appears I always get treated so poorly..."
Plutia: "Ehehe~ Sorry Neppy Jr."
Peashy: "Pea is sorry too..."
Nepgear: "Ahaha... I just need to get used to it I guess..."
...
..
.
Grun: "I'll say it again... what you will see within our minds are our hidden pasts and it might shake you to your very core once you've seen that generation..."
Weiz: "Unspeakable things..."
Schwarz: "Terrible things..."
Neptunio: "You will see them all... Are you prepared for this."
CPUs: "Yes!"
Cloin: "Then let us begin..."
After establishing a connection through Full Dive, The CPUs bodies vanished and turned into small orbs of light that floated into the Lords...
Plutia: "Hmm... We're not really bonded through anything... how can we help...?"
Peashy: "Yeah! Pea want's to help too!"
Cloin: "Don't worry; I'll be able to help with that..."
IF: "We'll stay here and keep things smooth, you guys just sleep and relax, literally..."
Compa: "Plu-plu, Peashy, please watch over Neppy for us."
Peashy: "Yup! Leave it to Pea!"
Plutia: "Neppy will be in goooood hands."
IF: "Thanks Plut, we leave her to your capable hands."
Plutia: "Huh...? Oh yup! Leave it to me."
Cloin: "Now then.... Lords of Ancient times, return to your beds and face your frights!"
After that Chant, Cloin summons a magic circle above each Lord's head
Weiz: "Neptunio, your buddy Genesis won't be a problem, would he?"
Schwarz: "I have the same concerns too... Grun did explain your situation but still..."
Grun: "..."
(A moment of silence... then...)
Neptunio: "...Don't worry..."
...they vanish into thin air...
Luna: "So they've gone to sleep once again..."
Cloin: "Indeed but this time, they will be in a state where they will dream about the sins they've made and the mistakes of their pasts... they need to face it..."
Nepgear: "You said we could help us with something right?"
Cloin: "Oh, right you wanted to follow them right?"
Ram: "Uh-huh!"
Adult Neptune: "How do we do that exactly?"
Uni: "Yeah, it's not like we performed SOUL IMPORT with them"
Cloin: "The dreams that the lords are having right now are like small worlds that exist within them... and since I have access to every single world..."
...Cloin flicks her finger and... ZAP!
Rom: "WOW~!"
4 dimension gates open up, the gates were dark and from within screams and cries can be heard...
Cloin: "Through these gates you will enter their minds, however you're presence in that world will be unstable, so try not to cause too much trouble or you will be forced out of the gate. These worlds are very small, and they involve the past, so don't change anything major within them, what is lost must be lost you must not change the way things occurred, however you will be able to change the mindsets and outlooks of people within it..."
Plutia: "Hmm... How can we help then?"
Uni: "If our actions have restrictions then we won't be able to provide the proper support."
Ram: "That's lame!'
Cloin: "Hush now young ones... You will know your role ones you've entered..."
Nepgear: "I'm going to follow my sister."
Uni: "I'll be following mine too."
Ram: "I'm going to where sis is... how about you Rom?"
Rom: "Huh...? Oh well..."
Ram: "What's wrong Rom?"
Rom: "I want to follow Mister Grun..."
Ram: "Are you sure?"
Rom: "Uh-huh... I want to see miss Emerald again too... and play games with her... I miss her..."
Ram: "Rom... Okay, I'll tell sis so she won't worry."
Rom: "Thanks Ram."
Plutia: "I'm gonna go with Neppy."
Peashy: "Pea too!"
Adult Neptune: "Me three!"
Nepgear: "By the way what do you call these worlds in general?"
Cloin: "Well, they show events that occurred in the past, a time when things were still being made and a time for discovery and many more... So I call these worlds in general as... Genration Beta."
Nepgear: "Generation Beta... Okay I got it."
Cloin: "Now then... huh!?"
...From out of nowhere a dark spear pierced the Basilicom's roof and made a gigantic hole... then from the sky a malicious voice echoed...
Deity of Sin: "Do you really think you could hide from me Si!?"
From the spear, shadows started to form and rushed towards Cloin...
IF: "Chaotic Wind!"
Compa: "Shining Snow!"
Two skills merged together and annihilated the incoming shadows...
Cloin: "Girls, hurry!"
...The others rushed to the gates... When Cloin started closing them 4 shadows were able to penetrate through IF's and Compa's defense, they didn't move like any of the other shadows, they were quick, and intelligent... They knew how to dodge IF's blades and Compa's Syringe... and then the shadows entered the closing gates, one for each.
Cloin: "Oh no!"
Deity of Sin: "Huhuhu~ Oh well... I guess your plan won't work after all Si..."
Cloin: "Curse you Deity of Sin..."
Deity of Sin: "Still.... These lights are very annoying... with these still intact I cannot enter that world... but at the same time... I won't let you escape either... ones your precious little CPUs fail and these lights fade, I will destroy you and your creations!"
Cloin: "What do you even get for destroying everything!?"
Deity of Sin: "What you ask?"
Cloin: "Tch."
Deity of Sin: "I was created from the evil hearts from the hatred of every single being... I was never shown gentleness, so I will do the same! No more kindness or forgiveness from me! You shall all die by my hands!"
...The Deity's Rage Burns hotter...

Meanwhile...
NOIRE's POV
What is this place... it's dark... it's cold... and these voices... what are they? They keep moaning and it's like they are in pain... Then I heard Schwarz's Voice...
I hate myself...
Curse me...
Kill me...
...Save Me...
...After those lines the noise got louder and I couldn't make out any words at all...
Noire: "Huh?"
From behind me, a light pierced through the darkness...
Uni: "Sis!"
Noire: "Uni!? How did you get here?"
Uni: "Cloin helped us."
Noire: "I see..."
...Uni told me that this void is like another world that existed within Schwarz's mind...
Uni: "Sis, what is this noise?"
Noire: "I'm not sure... but whatever it is, it must be something that Schwarz is trying to hide so desperately..."
???: "Who's there...?"
...From the Void, I hear someone's voice...
???: "You... what are you doing here?"
...Then another voice spoke... It was Schwarz's voice... What is this...?
Uni: "Sis! Look!"
...Uni points her finger... as I follow it, I could see something... the dark world changed into landscape of burning flames... The surroundings were burned to the ground and pillars of fire erupted from the ground...
Noire: "That's Schwarz!"
...He looks different, his hair is pale white and his left arm is like a monster's... he was talking to a girl... her silver hair was disheveled her black dress was torn, she was almost naked in front of him...
Schwarz: "I asked you... What are you doing here?"
???: "L-lord Schwarz, I was trying to save my brother, but I failed... The monster that you sealed within that Heretic... It ate him alive..."
Schwarz: "So..."
???: "What?"
Schwarz: "Why are you still here...?"
???: "Well...I...umm..."
Schwarz: "Your brother is dead, but you're alive... now live for him... and don't stay here in this hell..."
???: "NO!"
Schwarz: "What?"
???: "I don't deserve to live... I couldn't even save the one person who was important to me..."
Schwarz: "Haah... Listen..."
???: "Huh...?"
Schwarz: "Even I can't save everybody... but know this... as long as you're alive... then you'll be able to save someone..."
???: "Lord Schwarz..."
Schwarz: "What's your name?"
???: "I-I'm... Memoire..."
...This is a Memory... I have not seen this before... Memoire... It's that Girl's name...
Uni: "His Necklace!"
Noire: "Huh?"
Uni: "His Necklace had that Girl's name."
Noire: "Really!?"
Uni: "Yeah I saw it when the chain of his necklace broke..."
Noire: "Then whatever happened with Memoire made Schwarz fear something or even made him hate himself..."
The scenery warped once again and then...
Bubble bubble...
Something came out from the ground... it produced bubbles... dark bubbles and finally it starts to form into something...
It grew dark wings and it spreads far across... It was a Crow... it was Eithan...
Eithan: "So you've come..."
The voice carried malice and the air around them got colder... but unlike before it wasn't distorted...
Uni: "Why do you look like that?"
Eithan; "This is my true form... The Beast of Envy, Eithan... No treasure is safe from me..."
Noire: "Big talk for a bird. What are you going to do? Peck us to death?"
Eithan: "Normally I would... but now... I just don't feel like it anymore... Why are you even here? You can't win against the Deity, even if you try to convince Schwarz to accept his mistakes, he will never listen."
Noire: "Who are you to decide that?"
Eithan: "I have been living within this man for a Millennia, I know this man more than anyone else..."
Uni: "No you don't!"
Noire: "That's right, you may have been living within him, but you were never thinking about him, you were only there to feed from his power."
Eithan: "Think what you must, but you will fail, I assure you that..."
Uni: "Why are you even here? If you're just going to waste our time, then move along."
Eithan: "Me? Wasting your time? You're wasting it yourself, this man is doomed and you should know better... Anyway, his entering Deep Slumber... You will see his memories and everything that he is hiding... Don't say I didn't warn you..."
...Eithan disappears and then a strong burst of flames erupted from the ground...
Noire: "Agh!"
Uni: "WAH!"
...We were blown away... while still in mid-air the scenery started to change... The sky appeared with the warm sun shining down on us and then we landed on the ground cushioned by soft grass...
Noire: "Wh-where are we?"
Uni: "This place feels... Familiar..."
...We found ourselves at a bridge... below it was a chasm filled with Lava... a sign post stands near the bridge... it said... <LASTATION >
Noire: "Lastation..."
Uni: "No way... It looks so different!"
...Rails were ever present and the structures were built differently... Smoke is continuously pumped into the atmosphere and the air is polluted... Walls surrounded the nation and the only passage in was through air or through the heavy gates.
Noire: "It's a miracle that plants are still thriving in this place..."
Uni: "Who knew that this was Lastation in Generation Beta."
Noire: "Oh? Is that what this world is called?"
Uni: "Yeah, Cloin called it that at least."
Noire: "Well... I guess we have no time to waste. Let's move."
Uni: "Right."
...We moved forward, crossed the bridge and entered the Ancient Nation of Lastation...
Uni: "Wow! Look at that!"
...Uni points at a gigantic machine, it was carrying a ton of materials for construction, like cement. This mechanoloid could have been used for war, but instead it's here to support construction... Everything was noisy and it's clear that the nation is growing... Schools were being made and other structures for public necessity were being made...but...
Noire: "Why is everyone so...Gloomy..."
Uni: "Yeah, it's like they're not happy for the new structures or something..."
...While we perused through the streets, someone grabbed Uni by the arm.
Guard: "Hey you!"
Uni: "Ow!"
Noire: "What's the big deal buster!? Let my sister go!"
...I quickly got between them and faced the guard...
Guard: "You two are not from around here, are you?"
Noire: "Well, no... but so what?"
Guard: "Outsiders are required to present a pass card to be granted entry. If you don't have such credentials then I'm afraid you will have to leave immediately..."
Noire: "Fine, then where can we get these pass cards?"
Guard: "The Mercenary's Firm should be able to give them to you."
Noire: "And where exactly is this Firm?"
Guard: "It's a few kilometers away, a 10 day trip at best."
Uni: "10 Days!?"
Noire: "I'm sorry but we don't have the time for that."
Guard: "Then please leave in peace."
Uni: "We can't do that either. We have to go look for Schwarz and-"
Guard: "You're looking for Lord Schwarz!?"
Uni: "Uhh...yeah...Why are you so surprised?"
Guard: "Tch!"
...The guard suddenly readies his saber and points it at us...
Noire: "Watch it! You'll poke someone's eye out with that!"
Guard: "Why are you looking for Lord Schwarz... Are you a part of the rebels!?"
Uni: "Rebels? No, we just want to talk to him."
Guard: "You're reasons are vague, you shall not come close to him!"
...The guard swings his weapon at us, likewise we summoned our own weapons and armed ourselves...
Noire: "You're so unreasonable!"
Guard: "Die Rebel!"
Uni: "Like we said... We are NOT Rebels!"
Clang! Bang! CRASH!
The civilians in the vicinity began to disperse... this guard is no push over too... he is well trained and his stance is stable... he blocks my attacks and he is also nimble enough to dodge Uni's bullets...
Noire: "Kh! I said Stop!"
CLANG!
Guard: "Agh!"
I delivered a heavy blow and it caused him to lose his weapon. The saber pierced the ground... and Uni aimed her rifle at the guard's head in point blank range...
Uni: "Give up!"
Guard: "For the Lords name! I will never surrender!"
Noire: "Just listen to us for a second; we are not here to fight! We just-"
WHOOSH!
...A shadow covers me from above... the smell of burned dirt present in the air, and the intense heat was undeniable... I turn to look at the origin of the power...
Schwarz: "Out of my way..."
Noire: "Kya!"
...It was Schwarz! He swung his monstrous left arm at me and it blew me away.
Noire: "AGHHHHHHHH!!!!"
CRASH!!!
Uni: "Sis!"
Guard: "Hah!"
Uni: "Agh!"
...When Uni got distracted the guard pushed her back and retrieved his weapon...
Guard: "Lord Schwarz!"
Schwarz: "Are you alright?"
Guard: "Yes, thanks to you."
Schwarz: "So what's the situation here?"
Guard: "These two came here with no Pass cards to present and after I instructed them how to get pass cards, they refused to cooperate."
Schwarz: "I see..."
Noire: "Guh... That hurt you idiot..."
Schwarz: "I bet it did... now leave my Nation, you are not qualified to enter."
Uni: "Wait! We just want to talk to you!"
Schwarz: "There is nothing to discuss, My Nation has rules if you can't follow them, then I ask you to leave immediately..."
Noire: "Now hold on just a minute! We may be outsiders but treating us like this is wrong."
Schwarz: "With the presence of a rebellion in the air and the amount of shifters spawning outside my walls, I can't afford to be negligent."
Uni: "Please, we beg you... just give us something to do, to prove our worth... it takes 10 days to get those pass cards, and we don't have that much time."
Schwarz: "And I'm telling you that-"
BOOOOM CRASH!!!!
...From the North, a loud explosion occurred and screams could be heard...
Schwarz: "Tch. I don't have time for this... Guard, initiate the evacuation procedures!"
Guard: "Yes sir!"
Noire: "Hey wait!"
...I tried to call out but he was dead serious and left without a single word...
Informant: "A shifter has infiltrated the Laboratory, if it succeeds in destroying the power core, the entire nation will lose all energy and the shields will go down."
Guard: "Get the engineers in there as soon as the coast is clear."
Noire: "We can help."
Guard: "You?"
Uni: "Yeah, just tell us what to do!"
Guard: "grr... Fine, the Power Core is at the top of the Laboratory, if you can stop the Shifter from getting to it then I will personally grant you access into Lastation."
Noire and Uni: "Got it!"
Noire: "Uni let's transform."
Uni: "Okay!"
...but...
Noire: "Huh?"
Uni: "What the..."
...We couldn't transform... try as we may, we couldn't...
Uni: "Sis..."
Noire: "Share energy... it doesn't exist in this world..."
...Shares weren't a form of energy during these times... So that's why the guards attacks felt powerful... it's not that he was strong... we were just weaker now...
Uni: "What do we do?"
Noire: "We'll just have to go there by foot. Come on!"
...We ran through the streets... our abilities were still intact, we just couldn't transform... We were basically... Humans...Just Humans in this world...
We reached the Lab, the flames were intimidating but we had to hurry and get to the power core...
We entered the inferno... but...
Noire: "What... Happened here...?"
Uni: "Ahhh..."
...We were stunned... the scene was so gross it made a very unpleasant feeling crawl at the pits of our stomach...
Our hands were shaking... like we couldn't believe what we were seeing... It's like the world we knew was just a dream, and now we faced reality...
Blood... So much blood... The walls were smeared by organs, limbs were scattered on the floor... chunks of flesh were dripping from the ceiling...
The red flames flickered before us and we stood their paralyzed from what we have seen...
Girl: "Someone help!"
I snapped back into reality when I heard a small child's voice from deep within the Laboratory... I ran inside to search, Uni followed suit but her eyes were still in a state of disbelief...
She was trapped under some rubble...
Noire: "Don't worry we're here to help...Uni!"
Uni: "Ahh..."
Noire: "Uni! Snap out of it"
...She's still shocked... I can't really blame her; I can hardly maintain my sanity after seeing all of these...
Girl: "It hurts... Miss... It hurts..."
...The girl's feet must have been crushed...
Slither...slither.... Then I heard a slimy sound coming from above...
Noire: "Uni! Above you!"
Uni: "Eh? Ahh..."
The monster's neck extended and it opened its mouth to bite Uni... She was still stunned, she couldn't move or retaliate... but then...
SHING!
A flash of light... It cut through the monster and then it rained blood on us... the scene was sickening...
Uni: "AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After that one last scream... Uni fainted...
Noire: "Uni! Wake up! Uni!"
The person who killed the monster emerged, it was Schwarz...
Noire: "Schwarz! I'm glad you're here, quick we need to get this girl out of here and-"
...Schwarz ignored me and knelt down to look at the girl...
Noire: "Her legs are hurt and she can't move, She'll die if we leave her-"
Schwarz: "..."
...Schwarz raised his monstrous arm, its nails extended ...
Noire: "Schwarz... What are you doing? Schwarz No-!"
Schwarz; "Hurngh!"
SPLAT!
...I couldn't believe what I was seeing... did he just...
The sound of bones breaking and the sight of blood spreading across the floor...
Did he really just...
...
..
.
Noire: "YOU MONSTER!"
...I was mad, no... I was enraged at what I just saw... I brandished my sword and rushed to attack him...
Noire: "How could you do that!? She was just a little girl!"
I kept swinging but my attacks had no accuracy in them so he easily dodged each and every one of my attacks...
Noire: "HAH!"
I delivered a heavy blow, but he simply caught it with his left hand... his palm bled, my sword was sharp enough to injure him...
Schwarz: "Look again..."
Noire: "What?"
With his right hand he pointed at the corpse of the girl he just murdered... but only it wasn't a girl anymore... it's turned into something liquid and the red blood turned green...
Schwarz: "That was the Shifter... think about it... this is a Laboratory... what would a little girl be doing in such a place?"
Noire: "Ahh..."
I was dumbfounded... Schwarz picks up Uni and grabs my hand as he lead us out...
Then I realized, tears were streaming down my cheeks... this feeling... I don't understand it...
Schwarz: "The power core is safe, don't worry about it..."
Noire: "No... That's not why I'm crying... I'm just..."
Schwarz: "Scared..."
Noire: "!!!"
...he took the words right out of my mouth...
Schwarz: "I was like that the first time I saw corpses too..."
...I had no more words to say... I was just numb... and my tears ran down even more...
Sirens from the fire trucks were drowned by the beating of my heart... I was still scared...too scared... to even care about anything else...
Then he said something in a very cold voice that I found to be sarcastic...
Schwarz: "...Welcome to Gamitopia's Lastation..."
...
