Orange Heart pt 2

Side conversation 1 in Uzume's base:
Usume: So, I've been meaning to ask, but where did you three come from, Nepsy?
Neptune: Me and Nepgear live in Planetune. Since Sonic came from Earth, he's been staying with us.
Sonic: Yep. Ever heard of Planetune?
Uzume: Planetune? Ngh?!
Uzume then starts to have a headache.
Sonic: Uzume?
Nepgear: What's wrong, Uzume?
Uzume: O-Oh, nothing really, I think it's just fatigue finally catching up to me. So... Planetune... was it...? Sorry, but I don't think I know it.
Nepgear: I see...
Uzume: Only... there is a possibility that it's a nation from across the ocean.
Sonic: Huh?
Nepgear: Across... the ocean?
Uzume: Yeah. I've never been... I'm not sure what's over there.
Neptune: Then, does that mean that we've crossed an ocean and ended up on another continent without even knowing it?!
Nepgear: Is that possible? I can't say I'm very convinced. But, it would explain why the N-Gear has no reception, and why we can't transform.
Uzume: Do you three remember how you even got here? It didn't seem like you flew, or anything.
Sonic: Well, a weird console suddenly turns into a vortex after Nepgear powering it up, and then it happened. We just landed here.
Nepgear: I'm sorry.
Sonic: No, Nepgear, it's fine. No one could've known.
Nepgear: Okay.
Uzume: A vortex, huh? No matter how you look at it, a far away continent or not, that must be what warped you guys here.
Neptune: Oh, hey. It's been bothering me for a while, but why can't we feel any Shares here?
Uzume: Well... there aren't any people. Anywhere.
Sonic, Neptune: What?!
Uzume: There may be some humans in places I have no knowledge of, but I've never seen em.
Neptune: So that's why we couldn't feel any Share power at all...
Nepgear: And that's why you use a Share Crystal to transform. But where did you find something rare as a Share Crystal?
Uzume: Oh, it was just lying around here somewhere.
Sonic: Hmm?
Nepgear: What? You just find Share Crystals on the ground? Is that normal here...?
Uzume: Definitely.
Nepgear: That's Impossible! Share Crystals are the condensed crystallizations of invisible Share Energy! How can they just be found on the ground?!
Uzume: That's right, but... Is something wrong?
Nepgear: I'm order to manufacture a Share Crystal, you need a huge amount of shares, and a special formula in order to crystallize it. Before this, when fighting an enemy called the Deity of Sin, the Oracles of our nations created Share Crystals, but barely managed to make four. For those to just be lying out in the open...
Uzume: Huh... So, that's how Share Crystals are made. To be honest, even I don't know why Share Crystals are lying on the ground.
Sonic: Hmm... that's strange... Wait... could it be...?
Nepgear: Huh? You thought of something, Sonic?
Sonic: Well, it could be a guess, but... Could it be that those Share Crystals you happen to be found on the ground are... actual people?
Nepgear: Actual people? That can't be. That's impossible.
Sonic: Well, that's my guess. It's surprising how you're able to find these crystals around.
Neptune: So for you, they're like slightly rare items that can give you a temporary boost in Shares?
Uzume: Yeah, something like that. That's why I always carry em with me, so I won't run out. Look.
Uzume pulls out a pile of Share Crystals.
Sonic: *Whistles* Now that's a lot.
Nepgear: Amazing... This might be the first time I've seen such a large pile of Share Crystals.
Uzume: It's embarrassing, but I can't go HDD unless I have these things, so my allies are always on the look out for more.
Neptune: Oh man, you're really life on the edge.
Uzume: Can't be helped. Besides, it's good to have something to rely on.
Neptune: Well, you can rest assured from now ow. Even if I can't transform, the goddess of victory is on my side!
Sonic: You also got me to count on too!
Nepgear: That's right!
Uzume: I've got high hopes for you guys.
Neptune: Alright then! If that's the case, then let's celebrate by having a delicious juice party! Nepgear! Lend me your strength!
Nepgear: You got it!
Neptune and Nepgear runs towards the kitchen to getting the juice.
Uzume: (To think those two turned out to be CPU's... and a hedgehog that can talk. He reminds me of him. But, that headache just now...
Sonic: Uzume, is something wrong?
Uzume: Huh? Oh, nothing's wrong.
Sonic: Okay then. I'm gonna rest for a while. Wake me up when the juice is ready.
Uzume: Okay. (Planetune... Even though it's my first time hearing it, why does it make me feel so... uneasy...?)

Side conversation 2 in Uzume's base:
Nepgear: Hey, Neptune? Sonic? What do you think this city's called?
Sonic: Hmm... don't really know.
Neptune: Beats me, but... why are you asking?
Nepgear: I thought I'd keep a record of our experience and document any irregularities we encounter. I'm very curious as to why these buildings look so much like Planetune's. It's odd, isn't it?
Sonic: Maybe it is Planetune, but we're in another dimension. Since we did got transported to here.
Nepgear: Could be.
Neptune: Then let's ask Uzume! She'd know for sure.
The three goes to speak with Uzume.
Uzume: Hmm... The name of this city... Sorry, I don't know it either.
Sonic: What?
Neptune: Huh? You don't know?! You're a CPU!
Uzume: Well, yeah, I'm the CPU, but, to be honest... all of my memories are gone...
Neptune: What?
Sonic: Gone?
Uzume: I woke to the sight of this city in shambles, and that's the earliest thing I can recall. It's lame that I don't even know what it's name is. The only thing I'm sure of is that I am the CPU of this nation, and that giant is responsible for its destruction.
Nepgear: Oh... I'm sorry, I had no idea.
Sonic: None of us did.
Uzume: It's alright really. Nothing for you to worry about, Gearsy, Sonic. Having no memories isn't hurting me in any way... It is what it is. Sorry, I can't really help.
Sonic: (Uzume...) It's fine, if you don't know.
Uzume: Sonic...
Sonic: You only remember that you're the CPU of this nation and that thing is responsible right? Well right now. You have us three in your memory. There's no way you can forget us when we're by your side.
Uzume: Sonic...
Neptune: That's right! With us three, there's no way you'll forget us!
Nepgear: Thats right.
Uzume: Neptune... Nepgear... Thank's you three.

Side conversation 3 in Uzume's base:
Neptune: Hey, Uzume? I have a question about that... thing.
Uzume: Hm? You mean about the giant?
Neptune: Yeah, that. We keep calling it stuff like "the giant" or "that thing," but does it have an actual name?
Uzume: A name, huh? I've never really thought about it. I wonder if it has a name at all.
Sonic: Well, all we know is it is a giant.
Neptune: You don't know anything about its real identity either, right? Like, where it came from or what it's purpose is here...?
Uzume: I don't know anything about that... It's not like I can just talk to it. All I know is that it's on a warpath whenever it appears. When it destroys cities, it erases them from existence. They just vanish. I keep saying it, but we're really running out of places to hide.
Sonic: Huh?!
Neptune: What?! Those cities just... they just vanish?! That's the craziest thing I've ever heard!
Sonic: That's crazy...
Uzume: That's not all... I haven seen em myself, but there are also three other giants as well... they've destroyed the other three nations.
Sonic: What?!
Neptune: There are four of those things?! Oh jeez, we picked a really bad time to visit this place...
Sonic: Wait, you said three other nations, right?
Uzume: That's right.
Sonic: Then this must be Planetune, but from another dimension. So that means there's Lastation, Lowee, and Leanbox.
Neptune: Wait, you could be right.
Sonic: (Hmm... So strange...)

Side conversation 4 in Uzume's base:
Neptune: T-T-T-This is awful, Nepgear! Sonic! I don't see any pudding anywhere!
Sonic: Neptune, I don't even know if there's pudding anywhere here.
Nepgear: Well, it would need to be refrigerated anyway, so you're probably out of luck.
Neptune: Ohhh... Pudding...
Nepgear: If I find the ingredients, I'll make some for you, you too as well, Sonic, so just be patient for now, okay?
Sonic: Oh, really? Thanks, Nepgear.
Neptune: Yippee! I love you the mostest, Nep Jr.!
Neptune hugs on Nepgear.
Nepgear; Eeek, Neptune! I-It's embarrassing for you to hug me in a place like this...
Uzume: Hey, I've been wondering for a while now, but you're the older sister, right, Nepsy?
Neptune: That's absolutely correct! I am, in fact, the elder of the two of us! How do you like that?!
Uzume: Wow, seriously...? I thought it was the other way around...
Sonic: I thought of that the first time I met the two.
Nepgear: We get that a lot. Since I'm a bit taller, and Neptune's personality is... well... you know, people like to tell us we were born in the wrong order. I know she's a little peculiar at times, but when it comes down to it, Neptune's incredibly dependable and just plain cool.
Uzume: Then what about Sonic?
Nepgear: Sonic? Well, he's really cool, nice and always willing to help someone. He's really dependable a lot and has helped us a lot since then. He's like a brother to me.
Sonic: Me, a brother...? Hehe, I guess. You're kinda like that as well.
Nepgear: Really? I'm glad.
Neptune: What about me?
Sonic: You're like someone who's always getting attention, but that's what makes you special.
Neptune: Aww, you're too nice, Sonic.
Uzume: Huh... There certainly are some interesting pairs of siblings in the world. Oh, Sonic, do you have any siblings?
Sonic: Yeah, I do. I have a brother and sister.
Neptune: Really?! That's awesome!
Nepgear: Who are they?
Sonic: My brother's name is Manic, and my sister's name is Sonya. A lot of stuff happened when we were just kids.
Uzume: Just kids?
Nepgear: What do you mean?
Sonic: It's a long story, I kinda don't wanna talk about it.
Nepgear: Oh, it's okay.
Neptune: So where are they now?
Sonic: They're doing their own things in life. My brother became the best drummer, and my sister is a the best pianist.
Neptune: That's so cool!
Nepgear: Your siblings are amazing.
Sonic: Hehe.
Uzume: (Everyone sure has amazing siblings.)

Few minutes later:
Neptune: Okay, so I think I get that we landed on a continent across the ocean, But how are we gonna get back over there?
Nepgear: Well, I think we'll have to find a boat, since we can't really fly without transforming...
Sonic: H-Huh? You mean we have to find a boat to cross the ocean...?
Uzume: Hmm? What's wrong with him?
Nepgear: Oh, well, you see...
Neptune: Since he's a hedgehog, he can't swim.
Sonic: ...
Uzume: Oh, he can't swim?
Neptune: Yeah.
Sonic: Mhmm, anyway...
Neptune: Oh, so, that means our first quest is to find a boat just like that one famous RPG! I'm super pumped!
Nepgear: You know, I'm sure Histoire is really worried about us, since we just disappeared without a trace. We need to hurry and find a way home.
Sonic: You sure about that, Nepgear?
Neptune: Yeah, is it okay for us to just... leave..?
Nepgear: Hmm? What do you mean?
Sonic: I mean, Uzume... She's been fighting alone for who knows how many years, without any idea of who or where she is... It must've been like hell for you to do this all alone.
Neptune: That's right. Even if we're able to find a way home, shouldn't we help her out first?
Uzume: There's no need for that, you too.
Sonic: Huh?
Neptune: Uzume... What do you mean by that?
Uzume: If you have a home to get back to, you should hurry up and get back there.
Nepgear: But, Uzume...
Uzume: In all honestly, it was surreal running into you guys. I never thought I'd meet other people in this dump, let alone a hedgehog and a pair of sister CPU's. When you three willingly stood alongside me in battle, it made me so freaking happy to be alive. It was something I'd never felt before... But when all is said and done, this battle is between me and that giant idiot... There's no need for you to risk your lives here.
Sonic: And there's no need for you to risk your life either.
Uzume: Sonic... I know you three want to help, but I'm the CPU here. This nation is my responsibility and mine alone.
Neptune: Uzume. Now that we know all that, we can't possibly leave you here all by yourself. To fight that thing on your own for so long... It's too horrible!
Sonic: Yeah, it must've been crazy for you to do this alone like this.
Uzume: Oh, c'mon, it's not horrible at all. That's just everyday life for me.
Nepgear: Um, Uzume, when you say the responsibility is your's alone... have there really been no other CPU's to come and help you in the past?
Uzume: That's right. I've always been the only CPU here.
Neptune: And there's no one else to help you fight, even if they're not CPU's?
Uzume: It's a shame, but there's no one else that looks like they could fight. It's up to me.
Sonic: Well there is now!
Uzume: Huh?
Neptune: That's right! That's all the more reason for us to help! Two head are better then one and three heads are better than two, but four heads are better than three!
Uzume: I mean, I get that you know how to fight, but I couldn't possibly do something so uncool like involving unrelated people in this fight.
Sonic: We're not related! We're friends!
Uzume: ...
Neptune: Sonic's right! We can't just ignore a friend who's in trouble. It wouldn't feel right just to leave!
Uzume: Friends, huh...? I-It's not like I think of you guys as like, actual f-f-friends or anything like that!
Sonic: Huh?
Neptune: One fresh serving of tsundere coming right up!
Nepgear: Oh I know...! I have a proposal for you, Uzume, will you listen to me for a second?
Uzume: Proposal?
Nepgear: Why don't you let the three of us help you out until we go back home?
Uzume: Whaaa...?! Until you go home? I'm trying to tell you that it's too dangerous, so you should head home immediately!
Nepgear: About that... Don't you think it'd be dangerous for us to explore a strange land we're unfamiliar with? We have no idea where a boat might be, and we don't know when that giant's going to show up again. Also, if we were to targeted, I don't think the three of us can handle it.
Sonic: Ehemm...
Nepgear: Hehe, yes, Sonic, I know.
Uzume: What're you getting at?
Nepgear: It must be some sort of fate that we've met, so why don't we work together?
Uzume: ... I get it. I'll help you guys look for a way home and in the meantime, you'll help me fight.
Sonic: Wow...
Neptune: Ooooh! As expected from my kid sister! A great two birds with one stone idea!
Uzume: Well, what the hell. Not like you're gonna listen to me, anyway. Let's do as Gearsy says and work together.
Nepgear: Uzume...!
Uzume: But if we find a way to get you guys home, I'm sending you guys back as soon as I can, and I won't have any complaints about it.
Nepgear: Hehe, understood.
Sonic: Alright then, let's do it!

Few minutes later:

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Neptune was looking for something in Uzume's base.
Neptune: Hmm... There's nothing here either.
Sonic: Uhh... Neptune?
Nepgear: What's wrong, Neptune? You've been searching through a bunch of rooms for a while now.
Neptune: I got kinda dirty from the battle before, so I wanted to take a bath or a shower, but I can't find one anywhere.
Sonic: (A shower or bath...?)
Nepgear: Now that you mention it, I should do that, too. I might smell... not great. That last battle really made me work up a sweat.
Uzume goes to smell Nepgear.
Uzume: *Sniff sniff* Hmm... I don't think you smell, Gearsy.
Nepgear: Eeep! U-U-Uzume, what are you doing?!
Uzume: Oh, well, you said you might smell bad, so I sniffed ya yo check if you did, but...? Don't worry. You smell like a good shampoo. There isn't even a hint of stinkiness.
Nepgear: R-Really?
Uzume: Yeah, I may run and hide, but I never tell a lie. That's me in a nutshell.
Nepgear: Thank goodness.
Sonic: (Umm...)
Neptune: Uzume's building up to Nepgear's flag... I never expected her to be wooed by the same gender. Your big sister's starting to get anxious about your future, Nep Jr.
Sonic: Huh?
Nepgear: N-Neptune! Don't say weird things!
Neptune: But your cheeks were getting red, and you were even looking at her with upturned eyes! I can't help but feel suspicious.
Nepgear: That was because I was embarrassed, and not...
Sonic: Alright, Neptune, that's enough.
Neptune: Hey!
Uzume: Hahahaha. You three are always so funny.
Nepgear: Goodness! This is partly your fault, too!
Uzume: Sorry, sorry, my bad. Forgive me.
Neptune: By the way, whatcha doing here, Uzume? Did you need something from us?
Uzume: You're looking for a place to bathe, right? We don't have a bath, but I thought I'd tell ya about our replacement for showering.
Neptune: You have a shower?
Uzume: Follow me, I'll show you.
Sonic: Uhh, no thanks. I'm gonna stay here.
Neptune: Hmm?
Sonic: Well I'm not gonna bathe with a girl, you're gonna think I'm a pervert, which I'm not. I'll wait for you girls to finish.
Nepgear: O-Okay then.
Neptune: Aww, I bet you wanted to see me naked, huh?
Sonic: What the heck?! Of course not! Not any of you! Geez, Neptune...
Neptune: Hehe... sorry.
Sonic: Anyway, you three should go. I'm gonna relax here.
Nepgear: (Sonic...)
Uzume: Well, let's go. Follow me.
The three walks off.
Sonic: (Man, what do I do...?)
Sonic was thinking about being in the bath with Neptune and the others. Sonic blushes hard as he shakes his head.
Sonic: (What am I thinking?! I'm not like that at all! But still...)

Up on the roof:
Neptune: Whoohoo! The water feels so good!

As you people are wondering, Idk if I should even post this image since well, they're bathing... Anyway, continue on!

Neptune starts to splash around the water.
Uzume: Right? Isn't it even better after you've exercised?
Neptune: Yup! Cold water feels the best against a warmed up body! Wow, what an awesome idea to open a hole in a rooftop water tank and use it as a shower. It's like the wisdom of everyday life, or the wisdom of survival instincts!
Uzume: I've been living here for a long while, so this kind of knowledge naturally sinks in.
Neptune: Since you're here, you should take a shower with me too, Uzume. It's nice and cool!
Uzume: Errr... I'll pass.
Neptune: Aww, why not? Are you too embarrassed to take it all off outside?
Uzume: Well, no, I'm used to that so I've got no reservations towards it, but... um... well... Y'know... um... you see...
Neptune: I got it! You're embarrassed to get naked in front of other people!
Uzume: Gah! Y-You idiot! T-That's not it at all!
Nepgear: Looks like you're right on the mark, big sis.
Uzume: I-It's not on the mark! I-It's not at all like I'm embarrassed to be naked in front of others because I've been alone all this time or anything!
Nepgear: Wow... She spilled that out all by herself.
Neptune: Oh, I know! I'd love to see your super cool birthday suit, Uzume!
Uzume: ?!
Neptune: I'd like to see you throw your clothes off all dramatically, and take a shower with an awesome splash! C'mon, show me your cool self! If you took a shower au naturale on the rooftop of an abandoned building with no one around, I think it'd be super wild and stylish...
Nepgear: N-Neptune, I don't think that will...
Uzume: I-I guess it can't be helped. I-If you insist, Nepsy, then I will show you...
Uzume takes off her cloths and steps in the shower.
Neptune: No way?! You're actually going to undress?! Wowiee! You're so stylish, Uzume! You're way past cool, you're awesome!
Uzume: Ooogh... Dammit... This is so embarrassing...
Neptune: Huh? What did you say, Uzume?
Uzume: Wha...? I-I didn't say nothing! I'm not embarrassed by this at all! In fact, it feels good to be this liberated!
Nepgear: She seems to be getting desperate... But how did you manage to make her undress, Neptune?
Neptune: I didn't have proof, but ever since we first met, she seemed fixated on being "cool." Instigation's worth it, huh? I was spot on!
Nepgear: Now that you mention it, you might be right.
Uzume: Aren't you getting in too, Gearsy?
Neptune: She's right! You should jump in, Nepgear. It's the perfect level of chilly to feel good!
Uzume: B-But... um... Taking my... c-clothes off outside is... It's too embarrassing...
Uzume: Oh, what?! I didn't know you swung that way!
Neptune: What're you getting hung up about? We're all girls here, so you don't have to worry about being seen, right? With Sonic as our bodyguard, he'll make sure no one watches us! Besides, it's a one in a lifetime experience to bare it all in the middle of a city like this!
Nepgear: I-I don't think I need that kind of experience...
Uzume: Alright, Nepsy! If it's come to this, let's undress her! I won't forgive you for being the only one not undressing from embarrassment!
Neptune: Roger that!
Nepgear: What?
Neptune and Uzume starts to take her clothes off.
Nepgear: W-Wait, um... N-Noooo!
They both undressed Nepgear and drags her into the shower.
Nepgear: Ohhh... T-This is way too embarrassing... No ones's looking, right?
Uzume: It's fine, there's no one else here but us.
Nepgear: T-Thank goodness...
Neptune: Well, there's Sonic, but knowing him, he's not going to.
Uzume: By the way you two, how did you two meet Sonic?
Nepgear: Ask Neptune, she's the one that met Sonic.
Neptune: Yep! We both bumped into each other. I've never seen someone like him from Planetune before. He said he came from another world and he didn't know this place, so I decided to be his friend. That's when i told him about my friends.

With Sonic:
Sonic: Hmm... what should I do?
Sonic then hears Neptune talking about him.
Sonic: Huh?
Neptune: He's really cool and awesome to talk to! Plus, he's really good at fighting too. When he helped us when we were fighting the dogoos, everyone was surprised.
Nepgear: Since then, Sonic has helped us so much. He's positive and never gives up no matter what it is.
Sonic: (Neptune... Nepgear...)
Uzume: Really...?
Neptune: Yep! Tho, he may be all that, but he's not like those male protagonist where they see girls naked and such.
Uzume: Hmm?
Sonic: Huh?
Uzume: Has he ever done it before?
Neptune: Nope, not even once. I'm surprised myself.
Nepgear: Tho, I do feel bad for Sonic.
Neptune: Hmm?
Uzume: What do you mean?
Nepgear: Well, after all he's done for us back in Planetune, he hasn't really gotten anything from it.
Neptune: Oh, I see... you want him to see us makes, huh?
Nepgear: Wh-What?!
Uzume: I see...
Sonic: Hmm... Well, I guess I should do something while they're bathing. Maybe I could cook something. I've learned some cooking lessons from Shadow.

Flashback:
Shadow: That's not how you do it! You're doing it wrong!
Sonic: Sorry.
Shadow: How did you mess up on this one?!
Sonic: Hehe, sorry.

Few hours later:
Sonic: Man, after all that time, I did it!
Sonic gives Shadow the food.
Shadow: Hmph, doesn't look bad at all.
Shadow takes a bite.
Shadow: ...
Sonic: Umm...
Shadow: Finally, you did something.
Sonic: Hehe, you're welcome!

End of flashback:
Sonic: But man, he sure was mean tho. Now let's see...
Sonic looks for the ingredients as he sees a button.
Sonic: Hmm? A button?

In the roof:
Neptune: Man, it feels great!
Nepgear: Yeah, you're right.
Uzume: Yeah...
Sonic: Wahhhhhh!
Girls: Huh?
Sonic gets launched from the sky.
Neptune: What was that?!
Sonic: Ahhhh!
Sonic falls down to the shower as he gets back up.
Sonic: Pft! What was that? Huh?
Sonic looks up as he sees Neptune and the others bathing.
Sonic: U-Uhh...
Nepgear: S-Sonic?!
Neptune: Wow, never thought you did it! You sure wanted to!
Uzume: What are you doing here, you idiot?!
Sonic: W-What?! I can explain! I'm sorry!
Sonic tries to get out, but trips himself as he falls down.
Sonic: Whoa!
Uzume: Ahh!
Sonic falls down on Uzume as the water splashes.
Neptune: Oooooo!
Nepgear: Ahhhh...!
Sonic: Ugh... Huh? What the?
Sonic feels something on his hand as he keeps squeezing it.
Uzume: Ahh...!
Sonic: Huh?
Sonic sees himself touching Uzume's breasts.
Sonic: Wahhhhhh!
Uzume: You pervert!
Uzume punches Sonic in the face as he falls in the water.
Uzume: Hmph!
Neptune: Sonic? Sonic?
Nepgear: Oh no, is he drowning?!
Neptune: What?!
Nepgear: Help him up! He's gonna drown!
Sonic: ...

TO BE CONTINUED!!!
