Zero Dimension, Main Base

Everyone was now outside so they can start a meeting. As they were getting ready for the meeting, Marx asked Magolor a question saying.

Marx: So Magolor, how did you and Neptune meet each other?

Magolor: Well, when my ship got stolen by a mysterious person that created a portal which I got suck in. 

Magolor: I came in an unknown dimension where I was found and heal by Neptune.

Marx: Then, you two became friends after that, right?

Magolor: Yep, since we both like to go different dimensions.

Marx: Interesting.

Neptune: Let's begin Arbore's Torture Meeting Number 1!

Arfoire: Torture Meeting?!

Umio: I believe you mean interrogation, Nepsy.

Neptune: Eh, same difference!

Nepgear (Sweatdrop): I'm pretty sure they're very different...

Uzume: Now, we'll have you spill everything. Who are you and what the hell's your objective?

King Dedede (Whispering): Uh guys... Who are they talking to.

Magolor (Whispering): Their talking to Arfoire. who is basically the bad guy.

Marx (Whispering): Well I don't see her.

Magolor (Whispering): She's trapped inside of Neptune's specimen book.

KD/M: Ooooh.

Arfoire: Very well, I will answer your questions.

Uzume: Huh, you're surprisingly willing.

Arfoire: My name is Arfoire! I am the one who will bring destruction to this world, and death to the CPUs!!

Uzume: Yeah, yeah, we know that.

Nepgear: Yes, you've said it many times.

Umio: Correct. We understand those points very well  from what has transpired.

Arfoire: Rrrgh, how dare the likes of you brats and a fish...!

King Dedede: Jeez, this Arfoire person has lost it.

Magolor: Yeah, no kidding.

Neptune: Ooh ooh, me me! I have a question for Arbore! What'll you do after you defeat Uzume?

Arfoire: Hmph, you can't even figure that out without answering? After she is defeated, I will destroy this world, of course.

Neptune: That's the part I really don't get. If you destroy the world, won't you disappear along with it?

Neptune: What's the point of doing something like that?

Magolor: She has a good point.

Arfoire: I don't care. My destiny is to destroy this world along with the CPUs, and I won't let anyone get in my way!

Neptune: And I'M asking why you'd do such a thing when you'd disappear, too!

Arfoire: Hmph. If you can't wrap your head around my noble purpose. then you're more hopeless than I'd already assumed.

Kirby: Poyo, Poyo!

Said Kirby with angry look on his face.

Arfoire: I don't get on what Kirby just said.

Marx: I'll translate that for you.

Marx: Ahem... He said. Hey! Don't talk to my friend like that you meanie!

Arfoire: Whatever.

Neptune: Jeez, you're such a meanie, Arbore.

And with that, they finish with their meeting with Arfoire as they went back to doing their own things.

After five minutes have passed, Kirby and his buddies were talking to Magolor about what's happening in Dream Land as Nepgear ask Uzume a question saying.

Nepgear: Uzume, is okay if I borrow your Visual Radio for a little while?

Uzume: Sure, what're you gonna do with it?

Nepgear: I found a working terminal over there, so I thought I'd try to see if I could contact Histoire.

Uzume: Could I come with you? If possible, I'd like to talk to Nepsy, too.

Nepgear: Of course! Oh, but there's no guarantee that I'm gonna be able to contact them...

Uzume: It's fine. An outside terminal might do the trick though; they're way more stable.

Uzume: Ohh, I wonder what Nepsy's up to right now. Maybe she wants to see us so badly she's like, trembling!

Uzume then turned into Daydream mode while continuing to talk saying.

Uzume (Daydream): She did say this world wasn't so bad, so she might pop back over here!

Uzume (Daydream): Then it would be, like, double the Nepsy, double the fantastic fun! Ooh, I totally wanna make that happen! ♪

Nepgear: Uzume... language...

Uzume: ...Huh? Oh... *Cough*

Uzume: Well, you know, it's good to try stuff out, so we might as well since we have nothin' to lose.

Next, Nepgear and Uzume left as Kirby turn around and see where they are going. Then, he jump out of his seat and ran off to where Nepgear and Uzume are going as Magolor said.

Magolor: Hey Kirby, where are you going.

Marx: I don't know where he's going. So I suggest that we should follow him.

Magolor: You guys go. I'll just stay here and watch the place just incase.

King Dedede: Okay then, suit yourself.

They were now heading to the direction where Kirby is going.

(Timeskip)

Nepgear and Uzume were now at the terminal as Nepgear connected to the internet saying.

Nepgear: ...I did it. It connected.

Nepgear: Hello? It's me, Nepgear.

Neptune: Nep Jr.?! I'm so glad you're safe!

Nepgear: Yes, I'm alright. After you left, we managed to escape, and right now we're at Uzume's main base.

Uzume: Yep! Me, Gearsy, and Umio are all safe. Sorry for makin' you worry.

Neptune: Long time no seeing you either, Uzume! I'm glad you're safe, I was worried about what happened, but I'm glad everyone's alright.

Nepgear: Oh, Neptune, could you switch over to Histoire? I wanted to talk with her about what our next step is.

Neptune: Uhhhh... I'd switch with her in a snap for ya, but actually, Histy's currently out like a light...

Nepgear: What?!

Neptune: It looks like she pushed herself a lot to transfer me, Kirby, Bandanna Dee, and Marx from there to here, and she short-circuited.

Nepgear: Will she be alright?

Neptune: We just installed an update patch on her, so she should be fine! Hopefully.

Neptune: It's actually in the middle of installing, so we're just gonna wait for her to restart.

Neptune: I know it's rough, but you just gotta wait a little longer out there.

Neptune: We're working real hard on finding a way for you to come back right away.

Nepgear: Okay, I understand.

Neptune: By the way, what's the latest out there? What's happened with Arbore?

Marx: Yeah, we want to know that too.

Nepgear and Uzume turn around and saw Kirby and his buddies as they said.

Uzume: Hey guys, what are y'all doing here.

Marx: Kirby here wanted to see where you two are going, so we decided to follow you.

Neptune: Wait, is that Marx's voice?

Nepgear: Yep. You see... Kirby and his buddies came here as well. But don't worry, Marx already fill it in for us on how they got here.

Neptune: Is Kirby and the others are alright?

Nepgear: Yep, their doing just find.

Neptune: *Sigh* Well that's a relief.

Neptune: So anyway, are you gonna answer my questions.

Nepgear: Yeah, about that...

(Another Timeskip)

Nepgear finish explaining to Neptune on what's happening recently and Neptune said.

Neptune: Holy smokes! You and Uzume are pretty darn awesome to beat Arsnore like that.

Neptune: But even more surprising is the fact that you met up with a different dimension version of me. Along with her partner name Magolor.

Neptune: If I knew that was going to happen, I would've just stuck around!

Neptune: So, where's that other me and Magolor right now?

Uzume: She said she was gonna go out for a walk, but she hasn't come back just back yet.

Marx: While Magolor on the other hand is at the main base.

Neptune: Aww, what a bummer. Next time you call me, you should put her on if she's around. Including Magolor of course.

Nepgear: So, Neptune? About me getting back to our world... we've actually found one more method over here.

Neptune: Really?!

Nepgear: Yes. There's a person name "Crostie" who came to this world with bigger Neptune and Magolor, and she apparently has the power to travel between dimensions.

Nepgear: The hang up is that they got separated, so we're currently looking for her.

Neptune: Oooh! That's great! So, as long as you find that person, you can come back!

Nepgear: Sorry, I wanted to tell you sooner, but...

Neptune: It's no problem. We were gonna have to fix Histy, either way.

???: Nep, where are you?

Neptune: ...Whoops, looks like IF's a-calling. If something else happens give me a ring.

Neptune: We'll keep working over here to make sure things turn out alright. See you!

Neptune then ended the call as Nepgear said.

Nepgear: ...She hung up.

Uzume: Glad to see Nepsy's in good spirits.

Uzume: But there's nothin' wrong with havin' more then one way to get home. We need to find Crostie.

Marx: Agreed. But for now, we should probably head back to the main base.

And with that, they nodded as they were now heading back to the main base.

https://youtu.be/wiHYx9NX4DM

After five minutes have passed, they were now at the main base as Neptune came back from her walk and said.

Neptune: Hey Uzume, what's for lunch today?

Uzume: Man, already? You just ate breakfast.

Neptune: I'm just curious!

Uzume: Let's see... We still have a lot of the plants and vegetables Gearsy and Magolor gathered, so we gotta finish eating those.

Nepgear: Sorry, I didn't think there was going to be any supplies here, so I got carried away...

Neptune: Does that mean eggplant for lunch too?!

Umio: Why don't you use this opportunity to fix your picky eating habits, Nepsy?

Umio: Even if roasted eggplant doesn't suit your tastes, you may be able to eat eggplant cooked in other ways.

Neptune: No way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way no way!!

Neptune then left as Nepgear said.

Nepgear: ...I figured. Neptune really hates them, from the depths of her soul...

Magolor: Yep pretty much. And besides, I don't think eggplants aren't too bad.

(Mini Timeskip)

Neptune went back to her tent and said.

Neptune: *Sigh...* Why does such a food like eggplant exist in this world?

Arfoire: Then, for your own sake, why don't I lend you my wisdom?

Neptune: Really?! ...Wait, I thought you weren't going to speak with us anymore, Arbore?

Arfoire: Small details don't matter at the moment. This will be beneficial to you as well.

Neptune: Beneficial...? What are you going to do for me?

Arfoire: I will consume all of the eggplants!

Neptune: .........Excuse me? What are you saying?

Arfoire: You detest eggplants, right? Then, if I were to eat all of them, then there can never be eggplants laid on the dining table.

Neptune: Ooooh! That really is beneficial!!

Arfoire: You won't have to eat the thing you dislike, and I can satiate my hunger. It's a win-win.

Neptune: I'll bring over the eggplants right away!

Neptune then left so she can bring the eggplants to Arfoire. Next, Neptune came back with the eggplants as Arfoire said.

Arfoire: ...Neptune, even I can't eat them raw.

Neptune: It's totally fine! You were eating those eggplants from before so happily, you'll like 'em raw too!

Arfoire: Mrglebrgle?!

Next, Magolor was peaking at Neptune's tent and he sees Neptune giving eggplants to the specimen book.

Magolor (Thoughts): Hmm... I wonder what she's doing with the eggplants?

(Timeskip)

We then see Nepgear thinking about what she would want to make for lunch as the mysterious voice spoke up saying.

(BGM: Comedic Time - Mega Dimension Neptunia VII)

...Can you hear me... can you hear me...?

Nepgear: ...Huh? Whose voice is this?

This is a voice from heaven... Right now...I'm speaking...directly to your soul... You do not need to force yourself... to eat what you hate...

What you must do... is dispose of... what you dislike... But it is wrong... to waste food...

Nepgear: I'm not sure who you are, but I don't have any foods I dislike, so you don't have to worry about me.

Wait, Seriously?

Nepgear: Yes, seriously. ...Hm? I feel like I've heard that voice before...

Magolor: Hey, Nepgear. Who are you talking to?

Nepgear: Oh, hey Magolor. I was just talking to the voice from heaven.

Magolor: A voice from heaven?

Nepgear: Yeah. It said about what food I dislike.

Nepgear: But I answer to the voice saying that "I don't have any foods I dislike."

Magolor: I see.

Magolor (Thoughts): Hmm... Something weird is going on here.

(BGM Ended)

(Another Timeskip)

We then see Umio thinking about lunch and said.

Umio: Now then, I wonder what's for today's lunch. Perhaps I will peruse our supplies.

Umio checks out the supplies and said.

Umio: Urgh... What a large amount of freshwater fish...

Umio: Uzume's probably responsible for this. How worrisome. What should I do...?

Next, a mysterious voice spoke up saying.

...Can you hear me... can you hear me...?

Umio: What is this voice?! Who is speaking to me?!

This is a voice from heaven... Right now...I'm speaking...directly to your soul... You do not need to force yourself... to eat what you hate...

What you must do... is dispose of... what you dislike... But it is wrong... to waste food...

Umio: Then what am I going to do?

Arfoire... Dispose of the food you hate... by feeding them to Arfoire... This way... you will not be throwing it away...

Umio: Ah, of course! I don't know who you are, but I am very grateful for your wisdom.

Magolor: Hey, Umio. Who are you talking to?

Umio: Oh, hey Magolor. I was just talking to the voice from heaven.

Magolor: Really?!

Umio: Yep. It said about what food I dislike.

Umio: But the voice answer my problem which I am very grateful.

Magolor: Interesting.

Magolor (Thoughts): I guess I was right... Something weird is definitely going on here. I must tell Kirby and the others about this.

(And Another Timeskip)

We then see Uzume that's also thinking about lunch and said.

Uzume: Alright, what can I use to make lunch...?

Uzume spotted something at the table and said.

Uzume: Ugh, shiitake mushrooms?! ...I bet Umio snuck those in.

Uzume: But I don't feel right just throwin' them away just 'cause I hate them...

Next, a mysterious voice spoke up saying.

...Can you hear me... can you hear me...?

Uzume: W-What the hell's this voice?! Who's callin' me?!

This is a voice from heaven... Right now...I'm speaking...directly to your soul... You do not need to force yourself... to eat what you hate...

What you must do... is dispose of... what you dislike... But it is wrong... to waste food...

Uzume: Then, what should I do?

Arfoire... Dispose of the food you hate... by feeding them to Arfoire... This way... you will not be throwing it away...

Uzume: Ohh! Nice idea! Thanks, voice from heaven.

Uzume then takes the shiitake mushrooms as she was heading to Neptune's tent. Next, Kirby and his buddies came to where Uzume was suppose to be at and said.

Magolor: Huh? Where did she go?

Kirby: Poyo!

Said Kirby as he pointed to Neptune's tent, where Uzume was heading to and Marx said.

Marx: There she is. Let's go after her and see what's up.

As Kirby and his buddies went to where Uzume was going. Then, Uzume went inside of Neptune's tent and said.

Uzume: Hmmm, big Nepsy's specimen book was... Here it is.

Next, Uzume put the shiitake mushrooms next to Neptune's specimen book as she came out of Neptune's tent. Then, Kirby and his buddies sneak inside and sees a bunch of food that was in her tent and said.

King Dedede: Would you look at that, there's a bunch of food here.

Magolor: Yeah, I still don't understand why would Neptune, Uzume, and Umio bring food here next to Neptune's specimen book anyway.

Suddenly, the food was being eaten from the specimen book.

Marx: Uh guys. What's going on with Neptune's specimen book.

Next, Bandana Dee started to wrote something and showed it to them which Marx reads.

Marx: I'm not sure, but It's eating all the food that we were going to have for lunch.

Magolor soon realize this and said.

Magolor: Oh no.

King Dedede: What do you mean oh no?

Magolor: It appears that Arfoire is eating all the food that Neptune, Umio, and Uzume hate so she can try to escape.

KD/M: What?!

As Arfoire ate all the food, the specimen book began to shake and they said.

Magolor: Quick, we got to take Neptune's specimen book as far away as possible before she destroys this base!

KD/M: Right!

Kirby takes Neptune's specimen book as they came out of the her tent. As they started to run far away from the base, Uzume, Neptune, and Umio spotted them saying.

Uzume: ...Huh? I wonder where are they going?

Neptune: I don't know, but they seem to be in a hurry for something.

Umio: I suggest that we should follow them and maybe they can give us an answer of why their in such a hurry.

Uzume: You're right, Umio. Let's go follow them.

And with that, they follow Kirby and his buddies. Not knowing that Arfoire was about to escape from Neptune's specimen book.

https://youtu.be/geFP9cglPOo

After a few minutes have passed, Nepgear came inside of Neptune's tent and said.

Nepgear: What should I make for lunch today? Oh, I know, I'll use this opportunity to help everyone overcome their pickiness.

Nepgear then sees the food that was now missing and said.

Nepgear: Huh? The eggplant, shiitake, and fish are missing... That's strange, I thought we had plenty during breakfast...

Suddenly, Nepgear hears an explosion that was coming from outside saying.

Nepgear: W-What was that noise?!

Nepgear then ran out of Neptune's tent and sees Kirby, Uzume, Neptune, Umio, and his buddies were lying on the ground. Next, they got up as Uzume said.

(BGM: Emergency - Mega Dimension Neptunia VII)

Uzume: ...Tch.

Nepgear: Uzume, everyone! I just heard a huge noise, what happened?!

Magolor: I'll tell you what happened. Arfoire manage to escape from Neptune's specimen book!

Nepgear: What?!

Arfoire: Haaa ha ha ha ha ha! Finally... Finally, I am free!

Nepgear: T-This voice is Arfoire's?!

Magolor (Thoughts): I knew it!

Neptune: Holy baloney! That old lady is Arbore?!

Umio: That's right, big Nepsy had yet to see her in this form.

Nepgear: How can this be...? I thought she was trapped in Neptune's specimen book.

Neptune: Yeah! Even Crostie couldn't couldn't escape from that notebook...!

Magolor: Nepgear, she was trapped in Neptune's specimen book. Until these three had to bring the foods they hate to Arfoire so she could eat it and gather strength!

Marx: And the next thing we knew, she manage to escape from Neptune's specimen book.

Magolor: Which means that voice from the heaven that you guys were listening to...

KD/M/M: Was Arfoire all along!

Kirby: Poyo!

Next, Nepgear, Uzume, Neptune, and Umio were shocked. Knowing that they were trick by Arfoire this whole time and she said.

Arfoire: That's right. Although, I'm quite surprised that Kirby and his buddies manage to figure it out my escape plan. But it's too late for that, because I am finally free from that book, so thank you. 

Uzume: ...Rgh! Damn it, you tricked me?!

Neptune: It's the absolute worst to take advantage of other people's kindness!

Umio: I would never have imagined such a heavenly voice would have belonged to the likes of you.

(BGM Ended)

(BGM: Comedic Time - Mega Dimension Neptunia VII)

Nepgear (Sweatdrop): .........Um, the reason all the food that everyone hates was missing, was it possibly...?

Magolor: Yep, it was them of course for letting Arfoire escape in the first place.

Said Magolor as he pointed at Uzume, Neptune, and Umio.

Uzume: I'm real sorry...! This is all cause I hate those mushrooms...!

Umio: If I had simply endured and ate those freshwater fish, this would never have...

Neptune: Hey, I didn't do anything wrong okay?! What's at fault here are the eggplants!

Arfoire: How foolish humans, CPUs, and fish men are! Haaaa ha ha ha ha ha!

Nepgear: *Sigh*

(BGM Ended)

Nepgear: Well, what's done is done. We'll just have to defeat you one more time!

Uzume: Yeah, you're gonna pay up for what you've done!

They soon got into their battle stance as Arfoire said.

Arfoire: Hmph, I'm outnumbered in this situation. You think I would fight you straight on?

Uzume: You're running away?!

Arfoire: Running? ...No, I am retreating for now, so that I can once again throw you all into despair!

Arfoire: Spend what's left of your precious time carefully. Haaa ha ha ha ha!

Arfoire then started to retreat as Uzume said.

Uzume: ...Tch. She made a clean break.

Umio: She's quite the strategist to take advantage of the foods we dislike. Arfoire is formidible...!

Neptune: It's probably best that we don't use those foods for meals from now on, so this'll never happen again.

Uzume: Yeah.

Umio: Indeed.

Kirby and his buddies then facepalmed by this as Magolor said.

Magolor: Oh brother.

Nepgear: U-Um... is there no option for the three of you to try and overcome your dislikes...?

Uzume: Nope.

Umio: Negative.

Neptune: There's no way.

Nepgear: ...Just as I thought.

Magolor: You know what. Next time, give the food you dislike to Kirby instead, okay.

King Dedede: Yeah, or even us too. So, do we have a deal.

U/N/U: Deal.

Kirby and his buddies then shake hands with Uzume, Neptune, and Umio.

Marx: Now that we solve their problem with their dislike food. What should we do next?

Uzume: We're chasing after her, of course. Now that she knows where this base is, we don't know when she'll attack.

Uzume: Sorry we can't go and search for that Crostie person, Gearsy.

Nepgear: Oh, don't worry about me. Besides, if this place gets attacked, then it would be terrible for all the monsters living here.

Uzume: I owe ya one.

Neptune: Man, I really dropped the ball, too. I didn't know there was a way to escape my specimen book...

Umio: Without any clues, how will we locate Arfoire?

Uzume: That's the problem, isn't it... Since she just disappeared, we have no idea where to look...

Neptune: Don't sweat it! This magical rod will lead the way for us!

Uzume: What's that? It's just the stick. 

Neptune: I grabbed it from over there. So, you stand this up on the ground... and let it go.

Next, Neptune let go of the stick and it fell into the ground. As it fell into the ground, Neptune said.

Neptune: The magical rod is pointing that-a way, so Arfoire must be over there!

Nepgear: But, didn't you just pick it up from the ground...?

Uzume: At this point, let's not worry about the details. We don't have any clues anyhow. Let's try lookin' in the direction it pointed.

King Dedede: Well guys, you heard her. Let's move out.

Kirby: Poyo.

And so, they went to that direction where the stick was pointed. Hoping that they'll find Arfoire and putting a stop to her evil plans for good.

To Be Continued...

Will they ever find Arfoire and putting a stop to her evil plans from destroying the world?

Stay tuned and find out.
