Hyperdimension Neptunia's Second LC

Chapter 7: Purple Resurgence

"Well folks we're back on and let's get into the story. So Arfoire...thanks to a few bad habits has returned...and it seems with new power. Not in-case no-one truly understood what happened I'll simplify it. Remember the crazed lady that was the enemy of the first story...her power went to Arfoire, while that Croire...came from the spin-off fanfiction. Still confused...then read them both and come back this story can wait. Otherwise let's move on"

Terra, Nepgear and company had just finished their pitching of a few tents as well as a few chores. Uzume seemed now back to full health "And there we go" she said hammering in a peg "All done"

"You seem back to your peppy self" said Neptune

"You bet...all the poison has gone now, actually just to test" Uzume went to Orange Heart "Uzume is back to full power" before she hovered to Terra "Have you got back to full power?"

"Still no" he said disappointed "but the promise is still open though" Uzume went to human

"You better because you ain't going home until you show me"

"Speaking of going home" said Umio "Why don't you all go out and search for Croire again? I can watch over things here" it was then sudden explosions and cries turned them to the south

"Or change of plans" said Terra "We can go check on what's going on"

As they headed to the commotion the friendly monster bug where being terrorized by the bigger ones "Where did these guys come?" asked Uzume

"No clue" said Terra forging Nepgear's HDD blade in hand "Let's take them out before they hurt someone" each with weapons in hand they all set to work defeating the monsters but as Terra struck one, it immediately turned to the data-dust "What the?"

"Terra?" called Uzume hearing his surprise before punching at a bug only for it to immediately be defeated "Huh...that was?" Neptune was literally cleaving multiple insects with single swings

"Umm...did the author switch it to easy mode?" asked Neptune a bit puzzled as Nepgear fired a wave of energy with her blade along the ground to defeat a whole host of them

"They're...all done" said Nepgear "Weird" with no effort they all wiped them out.

They all came back together "There were loads of them...but we defeated them so easily" said Nepgear

"Are we awesome or what?" asked Neptune

"No something's off" said Terra "Even the monster you fought single-handedly Neptune took a few slices before you know...having a gameover"

"Then these guys are either really weak...or a distraction" said Uzume to which she heard a scoff, turned to see a crescent arc of violet energy fired at Terra which he had no time to react to "Hold on" she quickly dived into him, to save him from the arc which cleaved through the land and river, before cutting down several trees.

As all the girls looked back "That was close" said a familiar voice "but this only goes to prove my cunning" they all looked back to the attacker "If it wasn't for...you" the next word came out with disdain "meddling brat I'd have done away with one of you"

"Arfoire!?" Uzume said getting up and pulling Terra up "Are you alright?"

"Better than I wouldn't been if you didn't help me" Terra pointed to a small cut to his right shoulder which he held with his hand "Thanks for the save there...but you" he turned to her angrily "How are you here? Neptune trapped you in that book"
