Hyperdimension Neptunia: Sudden Encounter!

Chapter 7

~ At a different place away from our heros ~

Arfoire: "It has been a while, Histoire."

Histoire: "Arfoire...No matter how often you come, I have no intent to help you."

Arfoire: "I know. I came to ask about Neptune and those two otherworldly brats."

Histoire: "Did you....meet Neptune, Rin, and Taylor?"

Arfoire: "So it was you, after all... You're the one whose guiding Neptune and the one who summoned those other two brats."

Histoire: "What can I do? I am sealed away and unable to do anything."

Arfoire: "Hmp. Liar. No matter. I will defeat them another time. The goddesses are under my control. They shall fight by my will! Hahahaha!

~Back to our heros in Lastation~

Neptune: "Wow, this place is steampunky! Iffy what's this place called again?"

IF: "Lastation, ruled by the CPU Black Heart."

Neptune: "So, does the theme of the land match the goddess's preference?"

IF: "No. The CPUs are here to protect us. It's the people who shape the land."

Neptune: "Compa, what's your thoughts of this place?"

Compa: "These factories and chimneys remind me of an industrial revolution. But, I'm not a fan of this kind of thing."

Taylor: "Hey Rin, what do you think about this place? Rin? Guys! Rin is gone!"

IF: "What! She was right there a few seconds ago!"

Compa: "Maybe she got separated from us?"

Neptune: "You know I wouldn't put it past her to get lost."

IF: "Let's go to the Basilicom and ask if they have seen her."

~On the way to the Basilicom~

Neptune: "Hey, Iffy are we there yet?"

IF: "That's odd....I'm pretty sure that it was in this direction...."

Neptune: "Don't tell me we're lost."

IF: "I hope not, but it's been awhile since I came. Let's ask someone."

Neptune: "What about that adventurer over there? Hey! You with the red hair."

???: "Hmm? What is it ?"

Neptune: "I want to meet Lady Black Heart, but can you tell me where to go meet her?"

???: "Lady Black Heart? Oh, you mean Lady Noire. Well, you just head down this path, take a right, and you'll find the Basilicom."

IF: "Looks like the general direction was right. Thank you."

???: "We have to help each other out, right?"

Taylor: "Um, if I may ask you something."

???: "Yes?"

Taylor: "Have you seen a girl with a black jacket, about 5'2", with green eyes, and long brown hair in a ponytail around?"

???: "I'm sorry but I haven't."

Taylor: "Oh. Thanks anyway."

Neptune: "Well since we have met, do you mind if I ask you your name. My new is Neptune! This here is Compa, Iffy, and Taylor. Our friend who is missing is Rin."

Falcom: "My name is Falcom. I'm a newbie adventurer. If you're in any trouble and you need help just give me a holler. And I'll keep and eye out for your friend."

Neptune: "Really?!"

IF: "Thanks. Oh, we're in a hurry, so we have to run. Hope weeet again sometime."

Falcom: "See you again." *party leaves* "Whew....What a surprise. I didn't expect to see them here.... But I don't know who Taylor and Rin are."

~ Time Skip to Lastation Basilicom ~

Neptune: "Um, 'scuse me! I came here to meet Lady Black Heart, but is she around? And have you seen a girl with...."

Lastation Basilicom Staff: "Who are you kids? This isn't a playground. Scram!"

Taylor: "How rude!"

Neptune: "Hey! That's no way to treat your guests!"

Compa: "We really need to meet the CPU. We're trying to get Nep-Nep's memory back and look for our friend."

Neptune: "Oh, I know! This must be an event flag where I just have to name myself first. My name is Neptune! This here is Compa, Iffy, and Taylor."

Lastation Basilicom Staff: "Stop rambling. I don't care who or what you are. Now, get out of here!"

Taylor: "Harsh."

IF: "Wow, so much for civility from the Basilicom. I guess the CPU isn't all that great."

Taylor: 'If Rin was here she would be having a hissy fit, because Noire is her favorite character. '

Lastation Basilicom Staff: "Say what you want. I could careless about what Black Heart is being called."

IF: "...."

Taylor: 'Rin would definitely be pissed if she heard this.'

Neptune: "Hey! You've got a group of cute girls here pleading. C'mon let us meet her!"

IF: "Nep, let's go. We're wasting our time here."

Neptune: "Iffy you're giving up?! It's game over the moment you give up!"

IF: "Let's go."
