Realize: Your Dreams Will Erase Delusion

The horde of CPU clones moved closer, I stood in front, keeping the masses back. Next Green nods, "It looks like we were able to let Nepgear and the others safely escape." Next Black looks to Next Green, "Hey, could you not say things that might raise any weird flags?" Next Purple looks to Uzume, "I'm glad to see you're healthy, Uzume." ~ "You too, Nepsy. I don't see you for a while, and suddenly you can turn into this crazy form." ~ "It's thanks to Gold Third and the faith of Gamindustri, we overcame the CPU Shift Period." ~ "...Is that so? That's pretty great." Adult Neptune steps in between the two, "Um, can I have a moment, you two?" Uzume looks to Adult Neptune, "Where the hell did you come from, big Nepsy?" ~ "It's all fine and dandy to ignore me and pretend you're all cute, but this isn't the time or place. Like, I'm really into these lesbian-esque vibes, but the enemy won't wait for us." The fake Neptune cheers, "Nep it easy!!" The fake Noire laughs, "Har har har har har har! Mwah ha ha ha ha ha!!" The fake Blanc screams, "RRRRRAAAAAAAAGH!!!!" The fake Vert hums, "It's everyone's favorite adult-y, sexy, and gorgeous CPU, Vert-baby!" The four CPUs have a moment of questioning their character archetype." They proceed to drop out of HDD and Next Form. Shocked Neptune is shocked, "Gah, we suddenly ran out of energy?! We got all the way here and ran out of gas!" Adult Neptune sweatdrops, "Could it be some debuff caused by the fake's dialogue?!" Neptune shakes her head, "It can't just be their voice. I bet when they do their weird cursed dance, our energy and SP gets sucked away!" I resort to pushing the clones back with Dark Aura tendrils, having been thrown out of Ascended Violet form. IF sighs, quite loudly. Compa looks to IF, "What's wrong, Iffy? Why'd you sigh like that? Not going to scold Nep-Nep like usual?" ~ "No, it's just that when there's two Neps, I can't even bring myself to say anything... It'd be a total waste of calories." ~ "That's it!! That's it, Iffy! We could sell 'scolding two Nep-Neps' as a new diet!" Umio looks to the two, "...Discussing dietary maintenance is all well and good, but are we ready for battle?" Neptune nods, "Of course we are, Umitaro! I always start off at the climax!" I look back to Neptune, "WAS THAT A MOTHERF*CKING DEN-O REFERENCE?!! IN MY NEPTUNIA GAME?!!!!!!!" Umio looks to Neptune, "Before that, could you wait a moment, Nepsy?" ~ "Yipes! Jeez, what's the deal, Umitaro? We were just about to start the battle awesomely." ~ "We have not met in quite some time, so I understand it can't be helped, but... ...My name is Umio." ~ "...Oh." I kick the fake Vert away, "CAN WE JUST FIGHT, ALREADY?!!!" Neptune nods, "Right, sorry!" The four CPUs charge towards the horde of clones. I point towards the fake Neptune in front of me, "Mind if I kill you...?" Tendrils rip out through the fake, as she disintegrates. I lower my point, "Can't hear ya." Neptune cuts through her clone, "Huh? These guys aren't that strong... what did they make these out of?" I run past Neptune, "Paper mache, take it or leave it." Blanc slams her fake into the ground, "She wouldn't create clones that couldn't stand against us, this doesn't make sense." I chime in, "Probably a distraction." Noire looks to me, "How do you know if it's a distraction?" ~ "Are you...asking me... how I know it's a distraction?" The last of the clones are defeated, Neptune cheering, "How's that? All done, you fakers?! It's the destiny of fakes at the end of anime and games to never win against the originals!" Uzume pouts, Noire clearing her throat. Neptune sweatdrops, ".....Oh....! ...Erm, um... Sorry, Uzume. I didn't mean it like that... I'm not talkin' about you, ya know..." Uzume looks to Neptune, "Yeah, I know. You don't have to sweat the small stuff. It's cool, Nepsy." ~ "But..." Croire floats into the room, "Huh. There were so many. You guys must be pretty tough to have defeated them all." Shocked Adult Neptune is shocked, "Crostie?!" IF looks to Croire, "What sort of intentions do you have while coming back to us this time?" ~ "So, what are you guys plannin' to do now that you know the secret of Uzume and this dimension?" Noire looks to Croire, "You don't even need to ask. We're just gonna go and defeat the other Uzume." ~ "Like, is that cool though? If you do that, Zero Dimension is gonna disappear along with Heart Dimension. Then, since Uzume and Umio are living there, them and all the other people will vanish. Poof. Will you feel alright doing that to them?" Adult Neptune looks down, "T-That can't be..." Croire sighs, "C'mon, were you numbskulls paying attention? This world is with Uzume. If she disappears, it's pretty obvious this place will go, too. Man, what a heavy situation, right? If you leave her, Hyper Dimension's screwed. If you save your world, Heart Dimension's gone... Gamindustri is standing at a fork in the road of history right now. What choice are you CPUs gonna make?" Adult Neptune looks to Croire, "You're terrible, Crostie. We couldn't possibly choose!" Neptune chimes in, "I know! I bet this is the pattern where after your decisions appear, a few seconds later a third option pops up!" Adult Neptune looks to Neptune, "Ooh, I see! So, that means the path to the Happy Ending is with that third option!" Croire sweatdrops, "...You guys have nothin' but games for brains. But you better give your answer soon. If you do nothing, the fusion of the two dimensions will just happen." Umio sighs, "Why... Why must the world hunt Uzume so? What has she possibly done to it?" Croire looks to Umio, "Well, she had it comin'. She almost destroyed Hyper Dimension once, it's not strange that her actions would come back to haunt her." ~ "...What do you mean?" ~ "What, you hadn't figured it out yet? You remember those reports Nepgear was gathering, right? Those are about Uzume." ~ "What?!" ~ "You guys were so slow in catching on, so I tried repairing Uzume and the data, but even then you guys still don't get it. She did something to gain the hatred of the whole world, it's not weird if that ends up stickin' to her as a curse, right?" Uzume tears up, running out of the room. Croire sighs, "Oh, dear, there she goes." IF looks to Neptune, "What should we do, Nep?" ~ "We're going after her, of course! She's already in shock over learning her real identity, and now learning this... We can't leave her alone in that state!"
