Command and Conquered: Nep on Invasion
Purple Three
It had taken far longer than necessary but eventually once Neptune turned back to her human form the two sisters got around to freeing their new...somethings (the two still couldn't figure out what to call them yet) from their temporary prisons. Neptune couldn't remember too much about being purple heart and what she had done but luckily her normal form didn't appear to be acting strange yet. Still Blanc kept her distance while the group had interacted from that point on, something was off about Neptune and possibly Nepgear's HDD after absorbing the other hearts and she was determined not to get swept up by it. With the rest free the two had taken some time to discuss what they wanted to do, they both agreed to put off the kissing thing until it was totally required later that night so they found themselves with some free time. Naturally Histoire's suggestion about working to help smoothly run a unified Gamindustri was met with Neptune making up some poor excuse to vacate the tower as fast as Nepingly possible with her new harem in tow. Currently the four were strolling through Planeptune's high streets on the way to Neptune's favorite clothing store. Even with all their own clothes pack and moved to the basilicom their new master insisted on buying the former CPUs a few nice things to wear, forcing them through the public gaze and subjecting them to the murmurs of the passing crowds.
"There they are!"
"Is it true Purple Heart took the rest as her harem?"
"I heard rumors about the relationships between the CPUs but never imagined this!"
"Aw, I was hoping with all that new power she'd stay as Lady Purple Heart...OW! Sorry dear!"
"I'd pay a million credits to see the inside of her bedroom tonight!"
"They wouldn't...right? I heard it was just kissing!"
"Who knows? Maybe they need to go further!"
"What about the candidates? They can't do that type of stuff, they're too young!"
"I've heard rumors about Black sister and Purple Sister…"
"Whoever is talking about my sister better stop before I shove my sword in their throat!"
"Ah! Blackheart! Run!"
"Jeez Noire, can you wait before getting a bad reputation here? If you're going to be living with me I'd rather not have half my city run in terror of you at first sight!"
Noire didn't reply and just continued to scowl as the four walked through the (newly) cleared streets, she was not in the mood for Neptune to talk down to her after the way she had manipulated her back in Neptower. She didn't believe Neptune when she told them about her fuzzy memories during her time as Purple Heart especially since Nepgear reported feeling totally fine afterward meaning she was still highly suspicious and a little pissed at her.
Rather than deal with the lingering tension Vert asked a question that had been puzzling her since they left Neptower, naturally it was related to her 3rd favorite subject in the world after games and her own breasts.
"Neptune, where ever did little Nepgear run off to with her new "companions" as it were?"
"Nep jr? She took those three to her lab to show off some of her new inventions since I never go in there anymore"
"Oh? Why is that? I would expect her to love showing off her newest creations to her big sister"
Neptune shuddered, for while Vert had seen Nepgear's more stable inventions she had never been around to witness the other 96% of what the Semi-mad scientist could create. It was one thing to see a machine after the 395th safety revision, it was another to see prototype 3 that could somehow make you cry live spiders when it was only meant to disinfect hands.
"Me and Nep Jr's inventions have reached an understanding. They understand that they can kill me and I understand I'm never touching those murderous little pieces of technology ever again" Neptune stated bitterly
This actually got Noire's attention, she had always known about Planeptune's advanced technology, it was the land of purple progress after all, but Neptune always seemed hesitant to use it to enhance her consoles. Why have all this advantage and clearly useful gear lying around if you never bother to use it? Could her sister's tinkering have actually given Neptune an aversion to more experimental tech?
"It actually gets that bad?"
"Prototyping is a messy business Noire. I ever tell you about her attempt to make a bra that could make even the biggest boobs weightless to remove back strain?"
No prompt was needed, all three CPU's glanced toward Vert's chest and instantly knew what had inspired that device.
"Gonna take a wild guess here, gift?" asked Noire with a shrug
"Yup, it was supposed to be for our ever lusty and busty Vert. Junior had me test out the first test pass in my HDD form because I'm the only one who can get close to her weighty standards"
Naturally curious since she had never gotten such a wonderful gift from her dear Nepgear Vert asked "What went wrong? Did it not work?"
Recalling the sensation Neptune put her hands to her chest "Holy bouncing balloons it worked too well! Nep Jr used a few P balloons from Lowee in the design but didn't cut the power down enough! One second I'm using my wings to fly and the next I'm dangling near the ceiling from a pair of J-cup hot air balloobs!"
Vert snickered at the thought "If I didn't know better I'd say little Nepgear was trying to increase my natural assets to please herself"
"So you mean to tell me Nepgear invented a bra that..."
"Turns even the flattest hills into helium filled mondo boobs? Yes. Thus, the Fulton Bra was a failure"
"Does she still have that by any chance?" Blanc asked while trying to look as disinterested as possible
"It's still in her lab. Not sure why she ever kept it. Having P Balloon cups is kinda fun for someone like me but the whole "unable to keep your feet on the ground" thing makes it really impractical"
Noire subconsciously hugged her own chest "I think having breasts that big would make anything impractical"
"Not if you know how to handle them"
Jiggle
Jiggle
"Neptune if you really intend to play dress up with us can I recommend something more conservative for Thunder Tits? A loose sweater, a hoodie, maybe the world's strongest bra to keep her lumps from jiggling like jello every five seconds?"
Jiggle
Jiggle
"Are you insane?! Do you want me to suffocate?!"
"Yes...slowly...while on fire…"
Before Blanc and Vert could start up Neptune stepped in
"Enough you two! I'm the player character so I'll be the one to decide what each party member wears!"
This unnerved Noire who hadn't been sure if Neptune really intended to pick out what they wore. Sure they were technically her slaves now and they had no choice to obey, but would she really make them wear whatever embarrassing outfits she wanted them to?
"Neptune you better not make os all dress like you! I have a very personal style that reflects my individuality!"
"Yeah until you dress up like a complete copy of a popular character on the weekends…"
"Wh-Wh-What are you talking about Blanc?! HeHe! HeHe! I'd never do something like-"
"A good portion of those events are during the weekdays too you know. I think Wednesday is the usual day over in Leanbox for the cosplay contests since we mostly do double something weekends on our games. Plus it give people something to look forward to during the mid-week" mentioned Vert
Neptune dismissively waved her hand to Noire "Relax, like I'd be so vain. Do you really think I'd dress you three up like clones of little ole' me? I mean you three wouldn't do that if you had won right?"
Awkward silence…
"Right...? Gal pals...?"
"I've always wondered what everyone would look like with twin-tails..."
"I ordered Chika to have some fluffy dresses prepared in everyone's favorite colors. They truly feel divine on the body..."
"Some of Lowee's fashions are wonderful to wear and highly practical in the cold weather, this hat is more comfortable than you would think…"
Neptune stared at the other girls with an accusatory glare that each deflected by looking away and whistling innocently.
"Ok that's it! Hoodies for everyone! Let's go!"
As she stomped off hugging her hoodie protectively to her body the other CPUs followed, some more grudgingly than the others.
"I can make a hoodie work, maybe if I modify it?"
"I'm not taking off my hat…"
"Maybe I can talk Neptune into seeing if they have any copies of Nepgear's dress in my size? That's a Planeptune fashion as well right?
Author Note: Well here's chapter 3, it's a short one since I just wanted to assure people that I am still working on the purple route.
