     It's been three years since the CPU's have been dead and I've been the only candidate that's actually cared. I just want my sister back! I don't know how the other candidates are not as depressed as I am. In any case, I guess that means that I'm the CPU of Planeptune now but...Arfoire has already taken Planeptune for her own. I need to find a way to take back the throne and reestablish order in Gamindustri! But how? I can't do it alone, I'm gonna need help, before I turn psychotic. I need to somehow get the help of the CPU candidates! I need to act fast too.

-"Finally, I arrived. Lastation, can't remember the last time I was here." I said to myself.

     I had to be sneaky on these streets. If I wasn't careful, the citizens might ransack me for money. I climbed up to the rooftops and started running on top of those. The Basilicom was pretty far away, but not too far. I jumped and rolled on the roofs since I didn't have the power to transform anymore. After around 20 minutes of jumping, I arrived at the Basilicom. I would have to climb the superstructure. I started the journey upwards. 

1 HOUR LATER

     I finally made it to the top and went inside. I made my way to Noire's office. If Uni was anywhere, that's where she would be. I got inside to see something horrific. There was blood all over the walls, words written in blood, blood splattered on the floor. Everywhere was blood, but who is the source?

     I looked over to where I presumed the blood was coming from to see Noire's body laying on the ground

     I looked over to where I presumed the blood was coming from to see Noire's body laying on the ground. I stumbled back out of the room, tripping over something at the door. I looked back up to see Uni standing at the door. I was terrified, was it her that killed Noire? She walked closer to me until I could see her face clearly. The rain outside made it hard to hear her but I could just make it out. 

-"Did you really think that it was Arfoire and the CFW group that killed them? No, they were alive. Noire came back one day and came to me. I looked at her in disappointment for leaving me for so long. She started talking about some history crap, I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I grabbed her sword from her weak hands and stabbed her, over and over again. Just until I was certain that she was dead. I'm almost certain that's what happened with Blanc too, but you...Neptune hasn't come back to you yet has she? I can't wait to see what happens there." She said.

     How could she say something so cruel? She's not the Uni I know. She pulled out her blade and prepared for a swing.

-"Sorry Nepgear, but now it's kill or be killed. So long "gee-gee"." She said.

     I rolled out of the way before she swung at the ground and I started running towards the balcony. I looked back to see Uni with a crazy smile on her face and holding a blood-stained sword. Was that Noire's sword?! I kept running, there was no other way out of here than the balcony. Without hesitation, I jumped right off the balcony and looked back to see Uni devilishly smirking at me. She wanted me to get away didn't she? I looked back down to see where I was going to land. I saw a bail of hay in a broken down cart. Don't I remember this trick from somewhere? Jumping into a pile of hay to cushion a fall? Whatever, the only thing that matters right now is surviving this fall! I aimed for the pile of hay and braced myself for the impact. I felt myself hit the hay with softness. I got up perfectly fine, was that really enough? Whatever, I'm thankful. I started making my way home.

2 HOURS LATER

     I made it back to my hideout since I couldn't go back to the Basilicom. I was worried for everyone's mental health, what is wrong with them? I'll find out in time. I hope that I'll be able to restore order in Planeptune at least. I fell asleep, trying to get the thought of Noire's body out of my head.
