Days of Yore
Silence, everything felt cold and silence was the only companion I had. What happened? Where am I? What am I doing here? I was floating in nothingness, held by tendrils that connected to someplace far-away.
I couldn't see a thing, there was no voice or sound to hear...
Just silence.
Have I died? What was my life like? For what purpose did I spend my life for?
No...
I haven't died yet, but then where am I?
"...Aghhh!!!!..."
Someone screamed in pain, where did it come from...
Clang! Booom! Crash!!
...Sounds of an on going battle reverberated in the darkness...
"...Take this!!!"
Suddenly, I see light shining through a crack... but only for a moment, the cracks healed and once again... Silence... Cold silence...
I felt my strength fading...
All these questions, yet no answer... I fall deeper and deeper... The tendrils were pulling me in, where are they taking me?
Whatever, maybe I'll remember when I wake up...
Present Day
Shatana: "Why do I have to clean this alone~?"
Neptune: "You kinda deserve it after bomb diving the balcony you know..."
Shatana: "Because I felt the headpats and...uuu~"
Neptune: "Sheesh~ It doesn't even feel all that good you know."
Shatana: "Yeah, it's not like a hug, or a..k-kiss..."
Neptune: "geh! Hey Red! that's a taboo in the Nep Community don't mention it!"
Shatana: "No one really cared in that chapter though..."
Neptune: "It's better that way, trust me...Here's breakfast by the way."
...The two shared a meal as Shatana took a break from cleaning.
Neptune: "I gotta say though, you're really spoiled when it comes to Nio now. Why is that?"
Shatana: "H-Huh!? No way! I'm not that spoiled..."
Neptune: "Yeah right, you get jealous for hugs and head pats, you constantly seek his attention and yet you go silent or even outright avoid conversations with him unless he talks to you himself. And when he does...well..."
Flashback
Neptunio: "Hey, Shatana? Can you open this jar for me?"
Shatana: "YOU GOT IT!!!!"
CRASH! The jar has been crushed under the weight of Shatana's Power like a banana crushed under the immense pressure of a road roller.
Neptunio: "uhh... O_O'...."
Present Day
Neptune: "Yeah..."
Shatana: "Haa...I don't know... I was really against him too like Bel, but..."
Neptune: "Hm?"
Shatana: "He was kind to me... All of you were, you were all thinking about my well being and you never abandoned me, you and I may look the same, but I have my own view of things, and Daddy accepted all of me, I guess that's why I'm attached to him now..."
Neptune: "Sounds like you've got the case of the love-sickness~ <3"
Shatana: "Wha!? No way! I'm not-"
Feria: "Did somebody say love-sickness!?"
Neptune: "Talk about bad manners, you were eavesdropping weren't you!?"
Shatana: "Feria!? Hey, don't go mentioning this to anyone now!"
Feria: "Mention what exactly my Red Flower~? :3"
Shatana: "Uhh... Nothing."
Feria: "Uhuhuhuhu~ Oh you simpleton~"
Shatana: "Hya~!"
...Feria slides a finger on Shatana's exposed stomach, and got closer to Shatana's ear to whisper sweet nothings~
Feria: "You naughty little girl,you were probably thinking about sneaking into his bed and taking action, weren't you~?"
Neptune: "Umm, This is a child friendly show, don't-"
Feria: "This is child friendly, were just a couple of girls enjoying a bit of skinshipping~"
Neptune: "No, this ship is gonna sink faster than Blanc's flat chest so just stop."
Feria: "Oh, lighten up, there's nothing wrong with two girls frolicking early in the morning, and Dear Shatana's probably aching all over since she's been cleaning here for quite a while now... So~"
Shatana: "Ahnn~! Ahh~! N--no~"
Neptune: "Those sounds are clearly not family friendly!"
Feria: "Oh? Then how about if I touch here?"
Shatana: "Kya~! No! Not there! Ahn~! MmmM~~"
Neptune: "This Fanfic is turning into a self-pleasuring, incest, yuri genre faster than a blue hedgehog could hit light speed."
Shatana: "Ahn~! AHHHHHH~~~!!!"
Later...
Shatana: "Haaa... Finally finished up on the cleaning."
Plutia: "Shatany~"
Shatana: "Ah? Plutie, did you need something?"
Plutia: "Ehehe~ I was just wondering about making a plushie of you... but... You look like Neppy and you're hair is only a little messier than Neppy~ So would you like it if I just used a Neppy doll and turn into a Shatany doll~?"
Shatana: "Of course, that would be wonderful~!"
Plutia: "Awesome~ I'll get it ready so look forward to it~."
Shatana: "Yeah... Um Plutie?"
Plutia: "Hm~? What is it~?"
Shatana: "Can we talk while you make the plushie?"
Plutia: "Of course~ What do you wanna talk about?"
Shatana: "Well ya see..."
...Shatana goes with Plutia to her room... Meanwhile...
Feria: "Uhuhuhu~ Well that was fun, but what should I do now?"
Uzume: "Oh, Hey Feria, what'cha doin?"
Feria: "Uzume and Black Uzume."
Kurome: "Uhh... I have a name."
Feria: "Oh I'm just kidding, anyway, I'm actually in a bit of a predicament."
Uzume: "What's wrong?"
Feria: "I'm kinda bored, I thought of going to my part-time job at the Cafe, but Nio said I can't go alone."
Kurome: "Heh, too bad, guess you're stuck-"
Uzume: "How about the three of us go?"
Kurome: "Excuse me?"
Feria: "That's a wonderful Idea~ The boss will be glad for more helpers~!"
Uzume: "Then it's settled."
Kurome: "I'm going, but not as a helper, I'll be a customer."
Feria: "Fair enough then...Oh! I've actually been curious, but do you share your senses?"
Uzume: "No, not really."
Kurome: "It's really weird that you share senses with Neptune, albeit in a one-sided manner."
Feria: "I know right? But I have theories as to why this is, would you like discuss it later?"
Kurome: "Maybe, so what's on your Cafe's Menu?"
Feria: "Oh we have lots, wait till you see~"
Uzume: "Alright! Let's go!"
...Feria and Co went on their merry way, Bel was actually watching them from the shadows, she thought to herself, that this was but a waste of time, they should all just escape while they can.
Bel: "But still..."
...While she does consider Neptunio a threat, she can't rule out the fact that all of the inheritors are safe under his protection along with all the people that are present in the basilicom...
Bel: "But if he dares try to turn on us, I won't hesitate taking his head..."
Bel's POV
...After that contact I've made with Original... I've seen quite some interesting aspects of that bastard... how to use them against him though is a bit of a puzzle...
Bel: "For now I can't really attack him though huh... This is so contradicting it's making me feel sick..."
BOOOOM!!!!
Bel: "What the-!?"
...Something exploded over at the Engineering bay, as Bel turned to look at it, a piece of shrapnel came flying towards her.
Bel: "Tch.... Hah!"
...Bel sliced up the incoming object, and rushed to see what was going on...
Bel: "Ah..."
...But to her disappointment...
Nepgear: "I told you it won't work!"
Master: "Hmm... quite the failure..."
Zilog: "Just shut up and get the repair kit!"
Edge Gear: "I'm sorry~!"
...It was just another failed experiment from the sisters' side...
Bel: "Geez... is this place ever quiet at all?"
...While Bel grumbled, she failed to notice another piece of an iron slab falling down on her...
Bel: "Say what now...? Guhe-!!"
...She is hit on the head and she dives down into the engineering bay... Just before she hits the ground though, someone jumped up to catch her as she falls...
Neptunio: "You okay there?"
Bel: "Ah!? You!? What are you doing here?"
Neptunio: "I heard the explosion and came to check it out... and then I saw you get hit by an Iron slab."
Bel: "I see... H-hey! Don't touch me!"
Neptunio: "WHoa! Stop being difficult, we're still in mid-air you know!"
Bel: "Whatever! Lemme go!"
Neptunio: "Geez, would you just stay put and-"
Bel: "Tch!"
...Bel swipes with her claws at Neptunio.
Neptunio: "Watch it!"
Bel: "Hup!"
...Bel then kicked Neptunio boosting herself up and lands on a nearby tree...
Neptune: "Oof!"
Bel: "Hehe! Serves ya right bastard! Bleh~~!!!"
Crackle!!!!
Genesis: "You ungrateful little shit."
Bel: "Buzz off doll face."
Genesis: "D-doll face?"
Bel: "Just leave me alone!"
Genesis: "You're gonna get it this time you punk..."
ZiipP!!!!
Bel: "Tch!"
Genesis: "Peekaboo~"
...Genesis zips through the air leaving a trail of electricity in her path... Bel raised her claws to guard herself, but Genesis grabbed her arms, jumped backwards pulling Bel in process and threw her downwards into the ground...
Bel: "Too easy!"
...Bel, being the most agile in the bunch, landed square on her feet and simply grabbed another tree trunk to escape...
Genesis: "Get back here!"
...The Chase continued for a bit until Bel managed to hide inside the Basilicom...
Genesis: "Damn! Slippery little bitch... Where you at!?"
Bel: "Like some idiot would answer that... <whispering.>"
...Genesis soon left and in her place the Gears returned from the Engineering bay...
Nepgear: "Aww... we messed up big time..."
Edge Gear: "I actually thought that would work too...aww..."
Nepgear: "By the way, have you seen the other CPU's?"
Edge Gear: "I saw them left for their respective nations earlier, our sister..er...SISTERS went out to watch them go."
Nepgear: "I see... I wanted to talk with them more though..."
Edge Gear: "It can't be helped, they are a busy bunch."
Nepgear: "You're right."
Bel: "Oh...? I see you're pretty lose around your Edgy self now."
Nepgear / Edge Gear: "Bel!?"
Bel: "Yo."
Nepgear: "Goodness, you surprised me! What were you doing in that closet?"
Bel: "Just trying to hide from a maniac, what about you two, what got you all banged up and stuff..."
Edge Gear: "Our machine exploded in the bay...uuu~"
Bel: "Tough work... But other than that... sniff~"
Nepgear: "Hyuu~! W-what are you doing!?"
Bel: "Phew~! I knew it you girls reek! Go take a bath, use the soap I brought, that'll get rid of the stench."
Nepgear: "What!? Really!?"
Edge Gear: "Eww~! She's right, we stink..."
Bel: "But then again, I think others might appreciate the smell of sweat coming from two hardworking girls, I bet the guys in the Engineering bay are taking quite the whiff of that smell, like a horny bull just raging for a hot sexy time."
Edge Gear: "N-no way! The Master and Zilog aren't like that!"
Nepgear: "T-t-t-t-t-That's right! For the love of everything holy! Please don't deface them like that!"
Bel: "It's not defacing if it's the truth you know, to them you are prey, just waiting to be pounced on."
Edge Gear: "Enough!"
Bel: "Oh?"
Nepgear: "How can you say things like that? I thought you were a Clone of our sister, but hearing these things from you, it's just..."
Edge Gear: "It's hard to believe you carry a part of our sister within you..."
Bel: "Well, I carry the doubts, fears and every single bit of evil inside her, no matter how minuscule it might be, it still exists... So whether you believe it or not, it's all up to you."
Nepgear: "Are you even really a clone of our sister?"
Bel: "Excuse me?"
Edge Gear: "Out of all the inheritors, your the only one who won't join our cause, but I feel like your just acting this way, though."
Bel: "How so?"
Nepgear: "You act cold and distant, but you actually care, like right now, you insult us, and yet you provide an option to get rid of it, you offered your soap."
Bel: "So?"
Edge gear: "You're not honest like the others... You're holding back, you want to show that you care, but something is making you act in such a way that it makes others uncomfortable. Why do you do this?"
Bel: "I just don't wanna bothered, now seriously go take that bath."
Nepgear: "Hmm..."
Edge Gear: "....hm..."
Bel: "What?"
Nepgear: "Sniff~! Sniff!"
Bel: "Hyaaa!? H-hey stop that!"
Edge gear: "sniff~ Sniff~"
Bel: "H-hey not there... It tickles when you breathe into my ear...hyau~"
Nepgear: "Hm!? There's this sou smell right at the back of your neck Bel...(Since she has the same body as sis...)"
Edge Gear: "Goodness, you're sweating quite a bit too, ah even here...(Then she has the same weak point...)"
Bel: "Ah! Not there!"
Nepgear / Edge Gear: "(Her cute, plumpy, jiggly little butt!)"
Bel: "H-hey! Stop that! Hauu~"
Nepgear: "Oh Goodness, you're sweating quite a bit now, how about you join us for a bath?"
Bel: "Eh?"
Edge Gear : "That's a great Idea, this way we can fondle- ahem... Scrub you down real good~"
Bel: "Fondle! I heard you say fondle!"
Nepgear: "Don't mind the details, let's go~"
Bel: "Y-you girls... You're worst than that bastard! Lemme go! Lemme goooo!!!"
Edge Gear: "Uhuhuhuhuhuhu~ touch~"
Bel: "Hiiii~!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
...Just as the girls left, Plutia and Shatana entered...
Shatana: "huh... I could've sworn I heard Bel's voice just now..."
Plutia: "But you have the same voice though~"
Shatana: "Oh yeah... must have just been me then... Or the others like me."
Croire: "Phew I thought those Broads weren't gonna leave..."
...Amen...┌༼ – _ – ༽┐
Adult Nep POV
...So everyone kinda went out for their own thing right now... Why am I narrating though...? Meh, guess I can deal with it for now...
Peashy: "Big Neptuna, Pea is hungry...~"
Adult Nep: "Wha- Really? but I just gave you that sky fish earlier..."
Peashy: "Mumumu~ Pea's hungry so She's hungry~!"
Adult Nep: "Right... Where can we get some food though? Maybe Crosty can- ahh... That's right I left her in the living room..."
Zeb: "Hmm? Big Original? P-ko?"
Chiika Jr: "Caw! Caw!"
Peashy: "It's Zed~! Yahahaha and Big Bird too~!"
Adult Nep: "Hey there Greeny, what'cha up to?"
Zeb: "Nep was going to the river to catch some fish for Kitkat, she hasn't been really happy lately, so Nep thought if we caught her favorite fish, she would be happy.
Adult Nep: "That's so sweet~ Do you need some help, we can go with you."
Peashy: "Fish! Fish! Pea wants to eat fish too!"
Adult Nep: "Oh right! We can also cook up some of the fish we got for a quick meal too."
Zeb: "Are you sure? The River's current is really strong you know~"
Adult Nep: "Daw~ How bad can it be...?"
...It was bad...
...The river was deep and the current was stronger than any storm I had ever encountered, the water was raged forward like a hungry lion chasing after it's prey as it leaves a path of wreckage behind it... It was...
A very deadly river...
Yellow Heart: "AHahahahaha! This is fun!"
Jade Heart: "Careful~ You'll drop the fish~"
...While the two divine beings caught fish after fish, I stayed away 5 feet from the river, since I'm the only human here, I'd be kicking the bucket faster than Little Me sucks up her pudding...
Adult Nep: "Alright girls, I've cooked the 3rd batch, wanna get going now?"
SPLASH!!!!
Adult Nep: "Whoa~! What the Nep!?"
Yellow Heart: "Hyahahahahahaha~! Fun! Fun!"
Jade: "P-ko~ come on, we gotta get these fishies to kitkat."
Adult Nep: "Grr... Counter Attack!"
...I pulled out a pair of water guns and began squirting P-ko with them...
Yellow Heart: "Wha-! BlurBlurBlurBlurBlurBlurb!!!"
Jade Heart: "Aww~ Guys~ Come on~~!"
...P-ko, then retaliates and so we fight for a while... but we soon decided to go back, carrying the fishes in our inventory and we brought it back to Kitkat.
Zeb: "Kitkat? Look we brought you your favorite fish."
Kitka: "!!!"
...Almost immediately the Kuppo kitty, perked up and grabbed the fish basket with it's mouth and went running outside...
Zeb: "Ah! Kitkat!?"
Adult Nep: "Well then..."
Peashy: "Nom~ Nom~ Fishies are yummy~"
...Someone in another dimension felt chills run down their spines...
We followed the Kuppokitty, soon we found ourselves inside a gigantic cavern... Inside it were other kuppo kitties, some they were bringing materials too, some were carrying wood, others had shrooms and herbs, Kitkat however carried the fishes we caught towards the very far end of this cavern...
Adult Neptune: "Well I'll be damned... That is one heck of a sack of pudding in cups!"
Zeb: "Droool...~"
Peashy: "Uck! Zed! You're drooling on me!!!"
...P-ko aside, Kitkat presented the fishes to the other kuppokitty who seemed to be the owner of the sack... a transaction?
The kuppo kitty nodded and gave the sack to Kitkat... Kitkat then reached into the bag and took one cup of pudding and presented it to Zeb...
Zeb: "F-for Nep?"
Kitkat: "nod~ :3"
...Zeb accepts the cup of pudding still bewildered...
Zeb: "But why...?"
Kitkat: "Nyaa~"
Zeb: "ah..."
...I get it now... This little one is thanking Zeb for always taking care of her... She was down because she didn't know how to thank Zeb, and when she found what Zeb might like, she didn't have the currency to pay for it...
Adult Nep: "Well aren't you just the sweetest little thing."
Kitkat: "Nyaa~! Nyaa~!"
...The Kuppokitty rubbed it's cheeks on Zeb's feet and purred... Zeb smiles and thanks the little monster...
Zeb: "Thank you, Kitkat...Ehehe~"
Kitkat: "Nyaa~"
...Gratitude, trust and loyalty, this Kuppokitty, no... These monsters that surround Zeb, they are all very grateful for her...
Peashy: "Can Pea have some too?"
Adult Neptune: "I'll get you one later, let's leave them be for now."
Back to Shatana
Plutia: "Hm~? You wanna know how to be nice to people?"
Croire: "Not that I should butt in, but you're plenty nice already."
Shatana: "Ya think so? I feel like I'm just causing trouble for Nio and the others."
Plutia: "Well~ Maybe you can try acting like someone who you think is nice?"
Croire: "Don't give her silly ideas now..."
Shatana: "Hmm... So, copy someone nice... Maybe Nepgear?"
Plutia: "Yeah~! Neppy jr. is really nice, it might work ya know~"
Shatana: "I see... Okay I'll give it a try~!"
...Shatana went to look for Neptunio... She calls for him but he doesn't answer...
Shatana: "Where could he be...?"
...Just then an old lady was about to cross the street when a car speeds through like a brown mouse running away from a blue furred cat...
Shatana: "Watch out!"
...Shatana jumps out, but as she was about to grab the old lady, she feared that she might crush the poor old lady in her hands like a grape fruit... so instead she extends her hand out towards the speeding car, she braced for impact...
Shatana: "Tch!"
...BANG!
...The car met Shatana's extended hand, it's hood crippled under the density of her gauntlet and the car stops dead on it's tracks...
Granny: "Oh dear~!"
Shatana: "Granny, are you okay?"
Granny: "I'm fine dearie~ But what about you?"
Shatana: "Don't worry, I'm a lot tougher than I look."
Speedster: "Ey! What the hell do you think ya doing?"
...The driver of the mangled up car steps out and complains in Shatana's face...
Shatana: "You almost ran over this old lady! How about you explain your reckless driving!?"
Speedster: "Can it red head, You totaled my car and you're gonna pay for it!"
Shatana: "Excuse me?"
Speedster: "I said you're gonna pay for what you did to my car!"
Shatana: "Oh I'll pay for it..."
Speedster: "As you should you stupid broad-"
Shatana: "I'll pay for your hospital bill too..."
Speedster: "what?"
...A quick wind up, a small kick to the ground and the heavy delivery of a KNUCKLE SANDWICH!!
Speedster: "Buhiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!"
Shatana: "How'd you like that you son of-"
Granny: "Dearie!"
Shatana: "Oh... What is it granny?"
Granny: "Cute little girls like you should never swear on any account."
Shatana: "R-right..."
...a few seconds later sparks appeared from the sky as Neptunio Dropped down with his sword in tow...
Granny: "Oh my~!"
Shatana: "Uh-oh..."
Neptunio: "What happened here?"
Shatana: "Umm see..."
Granny: "Lord Neptunio... This young lady saved my life from that careless ruffian."
Neptunio: "Shatana did?"
Shatana: "Ahahaha..."
Neptunio: "Hm... I take it that the problem has been taken cared of then?"
Granny: "All that's left to do is to arrest that man... Now Shatana, was it?"
Shatana: "Y-yes Ma'am."
Granny: "Have some of my sugar cookies, as thanks for saving this willow's life."
Shatana: "Really!? I- I mean... ahem... G-goodness, you don't have to."
Genesis: <What the...?>
Granny: "I insist~"
Shatana: "V-very well then, I'll accept your kind offer."
Genesis: <Urk... Gross...>
Shatana: "-giku!"
Granny: "Now then, I'll be off now dearie, good bye."
Shatana: "Ah! Yes, thank you for the Cookies!"
Genesis: <Nope... I can't... This too gross for me...>
Shatana: <Keep it together... you're doing this to be nice... don't let your anger get the better of you...>
...Shatana was breathing heavily, desperately trying to calm her senses, when out of nowhere...
Shatana: "Ah..."
...A hand falls unto her head, her heart starts beating like crazy, her mind goes white and her face turns redder by the second...
Neptunio: "You did a good job there, well done Shatana."
Shatana: "Aba..ababa..abababababababababa....!"
Genesis: <Get it together!>
Shatana: "It-It wasn't a big deal! I was just doing what I thought was right! That's all."
Genesis: <Sheesh... You could at least try acting cool, that smile on your face is way too obvious.>
Shatana: "S-shut up already! kya-!"
...She turns around only to be met with her beloved's warm embrace...
Shatana: "A-..Ah..."
Neptunio: "You really did do a good job... Be proud of it."
Shatana: "I...I'm..."
Neptunio: "It's okay to feel happy when you've done something good."
Shatana: "You're right..."
...This feeling, it's exhilarating, the feeling of accomplishment, it's the same feeling that Original felt whenever she did something heroic... It's a good feeling...
Shatana: "~Kyu~~~ Daddy...~"
Neptunio: "Hm? Do you want anything?"
Shatana: "Huggies~"
Neptunio: "Okay, okay...~"
Genesis: <You spoiled brat...and I was just about to kick the ass of that other one too...>
Shatana: "Whaaaatever~"
SHATANA GOT HUGS!!!
Earlier...
...Scrub...Scrub...
Bel: "urgh...."
Nepgear: "Wow! Her skin is just like our sisters skin~!"
Edge Gear: "Ehehe~ No kidding, It's soft, springy and really cute~"
Bel: "How can skin be cute!?"
Nepgear: "When it's our sister's skin it's always cute~!"
Bel: "Geez... How can you even start to love that idiot..?"
Edge Gear: "Ahaha... I understand what you're trying to say, but shouldn't you understand it better since your a clone of her?"
Bel: "Yeah right... as if someone as Negative like me would understand that moron's wonderland..."
Nepgear: "You tend to bring yourself down and insult people huh..."
Bel: "All the more reason to get the hell off of me... and stop scrubbing!"
Edge Gear: "Right! It's time for some Shampoo~!"
Bel: "That's not what I-"
Nepgear: "Scrub~ Scrub~!"
Edge Gear: "Wow~! Her hair is silkier! It's not like sister's!"
Nepgear: "I know~! I noticed it before but this golden hair is really soft to the touch~"
Bel: "That's because Feria always dumps me in the morning for a bath... WHoa! Hey where do you think your reaching to!?"
Edge Gear: "Ehehehe~ Sorry... I haven't done this in... well... I don't even remember how long..."
Nepgear: "Just a little bit of touching won't hurt right~?"
Bel: "When were you this perverted!? Did you do this to Uni!? You did, didn't you!?"
Nepgear: "Teehee~ Nope, we haven't had the time... and besides <3 ~"
Bel: "W-what...?"
Edge Gear: "You just give off this teasable aura, we just can't help but...touch~"
Bel: "Hyauu~! No! My butt is not for you touch! Neither are my legs and armpits! Agh! Stop it! My little sister can't be this Perverted!"
...soon after...
Nepgear: "Haaa... Wasn't that just refreshing~?"
Edge Gear: "Yeah... It's been awhile... I really enjoyed that~"
Bel: "I feel like I've been violated..."
Nepgear: "Oh come on~ You feel cleaner now right?"
Bel: "Yeah, I guess..."
...Bel curls up her legs close to her chest as she sits down on the bed...
Nepgear and Edge gear noticed her looking down and sad...
Nepgear: "Bel...? Why don't you trust Neptunio?"
Bel: "Why are we even talking about this?"
Edge Gear: "Because, the sister we know, she trusts the people who wishes to help her, she trusts her friends."
Nepgear: "But you... You just..."
Bel: "I trust no one..."
Nepgear: "Then why do you act like you care?"
Bel: "I don't... I just want to stay alive, if we stay here, there is a chance for us to be extracted, and I don't want that."
Edge Gear: "You're not making any sense... If that's all you wanted then why don't you just leave?"
Bel: "I would have, if the other 2 didn't decide to come here...Which makes me the only target of that deranged other half of him."
Nepgear: "!?"
Edge Gear: "What other half?"
Bel: "You know, the Cracker."
Edge gear: "Say what?"
Nepgear: "You knew?"
Bel: "Yeah, just recently though..."
Edge gear: "Wait, you knew it too?"
Nepgear: "I was forced to keep it a secret by EnCodex... But since Neptunio admitted it already, I can now."
Bel: "Oh, that's not even half of what his done, as matter in fact, There shouldn't be any reason for any of us to stay with him!"
Nepgear: "That's where you're wrong."
Bel: "How? How is avoiding someone who can bring you your own demise be wrong!?"
Edge gear: "Because Bel... he needs our help."
Nepgear: "That's right... he is just as trapped in this world as us, he brought it on himself, he's gone through regret, you've seen what he's been through, you should know how much it brings him pain."
Bel: "Whatever..."
...Bel jumps off the Balcony and used her claws to scrape down slowly on the walls... Her thoughts were filled by her sisters' words... Maybe she has been a little too hard on Neptunio, but she can't just shake the feeling of distrust in her heart...
Bel: "If only I was like that gullible Original... maybe then I'd understand more..."
...She runs into town and witnessed the event where Shatana totaled a car to save a granny... In her heart she was happy to see Shatana doing something good. But as she looked around not everyone appreciates what she did, while others cheered for her, there were others who considered her actions reckless and dangerous...
Onlooker 1: "Shrapnels from that car could have hit someone..."
Onlooker 2: "Heck it could have exploded... and then there would be more trouble..."
...Distrust...Hate...criticism... They fly in from every direction...
Bel: "...Should have just stayed at home..."
...But Then Neptunio appeared and praised Shatana for her deeds...
Bel: "..."
...Bel looked on with worry, but she could read Neptunio's mind... She felt the sincerity of his praise and the genuine smile on his face had no hidden meaning either...
Bel: "No... You're not fooling me with that attitude..."
...She grits her teeth and left the scene without a trace... She passed a cafe and from inside were three people... One of them saw her... it was...
Feria: "Was that Bel? What is she doing outside all alone?"
Uzume: "Feria, we need more croissants on table 2."
Feria: "Oops! Got it!"
Kurome: "two more bottles of ginger coming right up,"
...Feria, Uzume and Kurome were in the Cafe serving customers, it wasn't easy to get the two wroking at first though...
Flashback
Uzume: "Wha-!? No way! I'm not doing that!"
Feria: "Come on~ It's for the customers, you said you'd help right?"
Uzume: "Uuu~ fine..."
...Uzume approached the new customers and hands them the Menu.. and with cute gesture of slightly raising her skirt up, she makes a shy bow and with a twinkle in her eyes she says...
Uzume: "U-Uzume is here to serve you nyaw~ What would like for today nya~?"
...Almost instantly blood splatters on the table as red colors fly off from the customer's noses.
Uzume: "Oh nyo~! Are you okay~? Here Uzume will wipe it for you nya~"
...She grabs a handkerchief and wiped the noses of the customers, however as she bends down her skirt flutters upward from behind giving the other customers a heart attack... At this point Kurome steps in to ask for the other customer's orders... however...
Kurome: "What do you want -_-...?"
Customer: "uhh..."
...A cold stare, a rigid voice, a glare so intense it sent shivers down the customer's spine...
Kurome: "So you want that one? That'll be 50 credits. You can get the other combo meal for a 10% discount with that you know."
Customer: "R-really? Then I'll have that as well."
Kurome: "There's also the strawberry cake for dessert which will be 5% percent off if you buy it now with this combo."
Customer: "I'm not sure if I should-"
Kurome: "You'd also get a kiss from any of the maids here if you do it."
Customer: "I'll take 5."
Kurome: "Thanks for coming, now eat, get your kiss then leave."
Customer: "Uhh... I'd like you actually."
Kurome: "Me? Okay. Chu <3~"
Customer: "THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
...Present time
Feria: "Well, as long they are enjoying themselves, and they are actually making money... so I guess It's fine."
Customer 3: "Hey can we get a glass of water?"
Feria: "Sure thing~"
Customer 3: "whoopsy~"
Feria: "Oh dear~!"
...Feria hands over the glass of water, the customer purposefully spills it over Feria's Uniform, her white apron was smeared wet and her sky blue shirt also got wet, making it see through...
Customer 4: "Dude, what the heck are you doing?"
Customer 3: "I'm sorry~ I was just soooo clumsy~"
...Clearly this was all an act, while his companion was genuinely concerned, this bastard just wanted to get some tasteless fan service...
Kurome: "Oi.."
Customer 3: "Huh?"
Kurome: "You did that on purpose."
Customer 3: "N-no I didn't"
...Tension begins to rise as Kurome stepped in to interrogate the customer...
Kurome: "You sick fucks drive me nuts, how about bash your balls in so you'll remember not to be so stupid again..."
Customer 4: "See? what did I tell you?"
Customer 3: "She can't prove anything."
Feria: "Now, now everyone..."
...Feria steps in to calm the situation down...
Feria: "I'm sure our dear customer didn't do it purposely~"
Customer 3: "Oohhh~"
...Feria gets close to the customer with her wet uniform and practically sticks to him...
Feria: "Hm? Oh my~ Getting excited are we? Uhuhuhu~ Aren't you a thirsty one~"
Kurome: "Feria... It's still working hours..."
Feria: "Hmm~ I'll take a short break then~ Can you girls handle the fort for me~"
Kurome: "You... haa...fine..."
Feria: "Come here big boy~ Let's have some fun~"
Customer 3: "hell yeah~"
...Feria pulled the customer into the storage room... Meanwhile Kurome hands the other customer incense sticks...
Kurome: "Make sure to pray for his survival..."
Customer 4: "O-okay..."
...Inside the sound proof storage room...
Customer 3: "NOOOO!!!! STOP!!!! PLEASE!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Feria: "Uhuhuhu~ You were thirst right~? Here... HAVE SOME GALLONS OF WATER SHOVED DOWN YOUR THROAT!"
Customer 3: "AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
...A few minutes later...
Feria: "Uhuhuhu~ Are we satisfied with our service?"
Customer 3: "Urgh..."
Feria: "Oh my~ I see we haven't reached your limit~ Well then..."
...Feria hangs her wet apron on the nail and takes off her blue shirt... All she's wearing on the top now is her wet striped undershirt...
Feria: "How's about a little service then~?"
...Feria also takes off one of her boots and steps on the Customer's stomach... yeah things are getting pretty graphic so let's go check on the others...
Uzume: "I've got your order Nya~!"
Ah... yes... nothing bad ever happens...
Customer 4: "Please be alive. Please be alive. Please be alive. Please be alive. Please be alive. Please be alive!!!"

Uzume: "Oh right!"
Neptune: "Uuu~ Stingy Zebby..."

Neptunio: "I'm back..."
Neptune: "Pudding... Kissing... Pudding... Kissing..."
Neptunio: "What?"
Neptune: "I want pudding...kissing...pudding Neptune.exe has stopped working..."

Neptunio: "Okay..."

Genesis: "Let's see here, *zip* place both of my hands here *momi~* activate the switcheroo and..."

Neptune: "Ah..."
Neptunio: "Oh, glad to see you're awake now."
...Momi~ Momi~
Neptune: "Uh... Why are your hands on my chest...?"
Neptunio: "Genesis did this, and hey it actually worked..."
Momi~ Momi~
Neptune: "Ahahaha... well... I don't know how to react to this..."
Neptunio: "It's flat as a board though..."
WHOOPISH!
Neptunio: "OW!"
Neptune: "That is not something you should say to a lady when you're touching her boobs!"
Nepgear: "Touching what!?"
911: "What is the situation of your emergency?"
Edge Gear: "We've got a molester here at-"
Neptunio: "It wasn't me!"
...While the Chaos ensued Bel watched them from the shadows...
How can they be so free spirited? How can they act so calm and collected around him...?
Bel: "Things are going to get worse... and yet they all just act all giddy and stupid... Now that I think about... It's always been like this... I do have her memories of course...And for some reason, she always goes through... we always go through problems...haah... how does that even work...? Maybe I can do that as well?"
Feria: "You know... talking to yourself actually counts as you being a genius."
Bel: "Feria... When did you get here?"
Feria: "Just felt someone peeping through the window, so I checked and here I found you."
Bel: "Do you think I can do it?"
Feria: "Why not? We inheritors are technically just her you know."
Bel: "Yeah... I guess..."
Feria: "But then again... There's always the option of just being who you are, just remember that you're not alone, you don't need to be exactly like Original too."
Bel: "I know, I'm not that stupid."
Feria: "Of course~"
Bel: "Okay, thirsty bitch get the fuck away from me."
Feria: "Oh you tsun~"
Bel: "And I'll never be dere, so fuck off."
