Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Decision. Mk. II

CH. 3- A Dark Past.

"All right.... Who first?" Hunter muttered as he looks at the occupants of Neptune's Tower. He is very impressed how the entire Neptower is purely Purple. It was cute. Ah... How it reminds him of Anastasia's antics.

May be he can go to the CPUs and play games? He hasn't played games for years. Also, may be they have memories about Ardenia? Although, what happened to the other CPU Apprentices? Were these four, Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert, were their children? They look very different from Ardenia's apprentices, especially their attitudes and demeanors are different from the four Apprentices. Still, they may have knowledge of the past and they may also have info about ASIC, at least he can offer them help, yeah?

His occupation was a government mercenary after all.

Hunter nods to himself and walks toward the four CPUs. Hunter smiles on how they play games despite being Goddesses. Although, he can remember the True Goddess being so fascinated on how humans became advanced.

Hunter notices the console they were using, it was a Console with a shape off an addition sign.

Huh, Weird. He haven't seen this kind. And the game they are playing is also peculiar.

Hunter notices the casing of the game's DVD. He picks it up and reads the contents.

"Four Goddesses Online. Huh, Even Vert and Blanc's Goddess forms are here. Is this game based on the Goddess of Gamiindustri?" He takes a better look and notices two more mature women, "Damn... Is the Purple and Black ladies are Neptune and Noire? Damn, they are hot." He said quite loudly.

*ping!*

Hunter notices that the sword clashing from the TV and occasional insults for each other from the CPUs has stopped.
He lowers the casing and notices Neptune and Noire looking at him, their faces red while Vert smirks at him and Blanc eas narrowing her eyes.

"Perverted idiot..." the Tsundere said before turning back to the game and resuming the game.

"Hey! I'm sorry! I thought beautiful women like compliments?" Hunter puts his hand on his and sighs,"And here I thought Edith Black Heart likes being complimented..." He thought.

Hunter decides to sit on the floor behind the four CPUs while watching them play.

"Huh. It actually features them. Graphics are almost realistic, too. Hmmm.... come to think of it..."

"Is Virtual Reality now real? Like, you can actually move and feel the game?" He asked audibly.

"Oh yes, Hunter. Leanbox tech has evolved and we can now be fully immersive in any games you want." Vert answered. Her eyes still on the Video Game they are playing. But a hint of pride is visible in her voice.

"Huh. Nice."

"But! Lastation Technology will soon surpass the other nations. We have the most advanced tech that even we can pass the Land of Purple Progress!" Noire boasted.

*clang!*

The four split-screen tv shows how Vert's character assaults Noire's and releases a barrage of attacks. Noire received some damage.

Vert was smiling. And this smile has something underneath it. Hunter can feel an eerie aura coming out from her.

"Oh come on, Noire! I thought we are friends? That's what the peace treatt for, right?" Neptune said as she nudges Noire.

"Oh, stop it, Neptune. We are fri--friends." Noire face became flustered as she said the word, "B-But, We have to advance so we can keep up! Your Nation will progress very slow if you keep being a lazy-bone!!" Noire replied, her face slightly red after using the word, "Friend."
