Neptune ran outside and was now standing in the middle of the street. The girl was quickly followed by Nepgear, IF and Compa. The girls watched as dozens and dozens of DQN zombies shuffled their way into the street. They groaned loudly as they moved. “Hey. I think I know where HachimaJin scampered off to.” Said Neptune, smiling. Her smile vanished when the girl realized that no one was laughing.
“DQN zombies? Oh no… That means those lizard monsters are here, right?” Nepgear asked, her hands were shaking by her sides.
“Maybe, but don’t worry Nepgear! I’ll be more careful this time! I promise!” Neptune said, as she summoned her katana.
“Just stay close to me.” Said Nepgear, as she summoned her energy sword.
IF and Compa summoned their weapons as well, but their minds were on something else. “Nep? Gear?” IF began, biting her lower lip nervously. “I’m a little worried about Arfoire.” She began.
“That’s right.” Compa said, concerned.
“It’s cool.” Neptune said, winking at IF and Compa. “Go and make sure she’s okay? Okay?”
“Thanks!” IF said. “Come on Compa!” And with those words, IF rushed towards the DQN zombies as fast as she could, Compa followed close behind her friend. The DQN zombies turned their bodies towards the girls, they grabbed their heads and tossed them at the girls.
IF swung her daggers wildly and managed to knock the heads away. After that the girl flew through the group of DQN zombies, cutting down all the monsters she flew past. Compa stabbed a few of the remaining DQN zombies, but didn’t spend too much time on them.
Neptune and Nepgear watched until their friends disappeared around the bend. “Alright Nepgear. I think we should head towards the Basilicom.”
“Good idea!” Said Nepgear, as the two girls turned and started running as fast as they could down the long street. As the girls ran, they passed by dozens of people. “PLEASE… GO BACK INSIDE! MONSTERS ARE INVADING!” Nepgear screamed.
“HEY! MONSTERS ARE COMING!” Neptune cried.
The people looked confused, but as monsters started flooding into the streets, the people screamed and ran for the nearest building to hide in. Neptune and Nepgear launched themselves at any of the DQN zombies that launched attacks at people, but the girls knew they wouldn’t be able to defeat all the monsters in time. They knew someone was going to get hurt, or worse.
Neptune managed to kill two DQN zombies that had swarmed around a little girl. “You okay?” Neptune asked, smiling warmly at the girl, who had tears in her eyes. The little girl couldn’t speak. All she could do was nod her head. “Where’s your house?” Neptune then asked.
The little girl pointed towards a nearby building. “Alright!” Neptune said, as she bent down so the little girl could climb onto her back. “All about the Nep-Nep express!” She said.
The little girl climbed onto her back and threw her arms around her neck. After that, Neptune leapt forwards and cut down several DQN zombies that were about to launch their heads at them.
Neptune cheered in triumph, but noticed another zombie several feet away. The creature launched it’s head at her.
Just when Neptune thought she would be hit, Nepgear appeared and struck the head using her energy sword, launching it high into the air. After that Nepgear killed the creature’s body causing the entire monster to disappear.
“Great work Nepgear!” Neptune said, happily.
When Neptune finally reached the little girl’s house, she bent down and waited until the little girl was inside her home. “Thank you!” She said, closing the door behind her.
“Bye bye!” Neptune said, happily.
“Good work Neptune!” Nepgear said, feeling proud of her sister.
“Thanks Nepgear, but we have more DQN zombie butt to kick!” Said Neptune.

IF and Compa continued their journey to Arfoire’s house, by mostly staying on the main roads. However, a few times they had to travel down some alleyways in order to avoid huge swaths of DQN zombies.
“This is ridiculous! Where did all these monsters come from?” IF wondered.
“I have no idea Iffy.” Compa said.
The girls finally reached the street that Arfoire lived on. They were surprised and relieved to see that the street was empty of life. “Hurry Compa. Were almost there!” IF said, as she led the charge towards Arfoire’s apartment complex.
The two girls ran through the front doors of the apartment and started climbing the steps as fast as they could. By the time they reached Arfoire’s door, Compa was out of breath. “Arfoire? Are you in there?” IF cried, as she smacked the door with her open hand.
The sounds of footsteps could be heard on the other side of the door. Moments later the door opened an inch and Arfoire peered outside. “IF, Compa. What are you doing here?” She asked.
“Planeptune’s being invaded!” Compa shouted.
IF nodded. “It’s true. There are monsters called DQN zombies that are attacking. We came here to make sure you were alright.”
“I’m fine.” Said Arfoire.
“Uh…” IF began. Arfoire spoke as though she wasn’t concerned that the city was currently being invaded by undead monsters. “You do understand what were saying, right? Actual monsters are attacking the city. People are in trouble.”
“I understand.” Said Arfoire, her tone never changed.
“Do you mind if we come in?” Compa asked.
Arfoire turned her eyes to Compa. “If you two are in trouble, you can hangout here until things settle down, but if not, I’d prefer it if you left.”
“Hey!” IF shouted, angrily. “We came here to make sure you were alright!”
“And you can see that I’m fine. Please… if you’re alright, you should leave.” Arfoire said, as she closed the door and locked it.
IF’s eyes were burning with rage. All she wanted to do was kick down Arfoire’s door and give the woman a piece of her mind, instead she turned angrily towards Compa. “She’s fine. We should leave.” IF said, her hands were shaking with rage.
Compa placed sent her giant syringe away and placed her hands on IF’s shoulders. “Iffy. It’s like you said, remember? We came here to check out Arfoire. She’s alright. Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge are going to need us to help them now.” Compa said, her voice was sweet as honey.
IF’s anger instantly vanished. “Y-you’re right.” She said, blushing a little. “Sorry about that Compa.”
“No. It’s okay.” Compa said, summoning her giant syringe once more. “I love when you’re so passionate! I love you IF!”
“Thanks Compa.” IF said, shocked by how happy she felt. “Alright. We should go.”
IF and Compa made their way back downstairs, but before they could leave the apartment complex, they spotted a giant hoard of DQN zombies making their way towards the doors.
IF and Compa quickly went to work. They grabbed as many items as they could and placed them in front of the doors. After that, they looked for another way out, but all the areas around the apartment complex were blocked by DQN zombies. “This isn’t good!” Compa said, nervously.
“Yeah…” IF said, as the DQN zombies started pounding their fists against the doors. “This place is going to be flooded soon!”

Neptune and Nepgear were getting closer and closer to Planeptune’s Basilicom, but thanks to the amount of monsters, the girls were having a hard time keeping people safe. They sliced through dozens of DQN zombies, but more and more of them appeared and launched fresh attacks at the girls.
“Geesh!” Neptune said, as she cut down her sixty-seventh monster. “I’m glad I took your advice and focused some share energy on my stamina. If I hadn’t you’d be carrying me right now.”
“Goodness Neptune. I’m tired and I focused a lot of share energy on my stamina the last time we used a Fairy Tower.” Said Nepgear, as she cut down her fifty-second and fifty-third monster.
Neptune rushed towards another DQN zombie and cut it down, but something silvery caught her attention. Turning quickly Neptune blocked a pair of metallic claws that were aimed at her face. “Hey now! Wait your turn!” Neptune said, as a giant lizard towered over her.
Nepgear’s heart started pounding wildly in her chest. “That’s the same monster that nearly took my sister from me!” Nepgear thought, as she angrily charged at the creature. Before Nepgear could get close enough however, Neptune pushed the monster back and sliced a second lizard monster that launched an attack at her. With a single slice of her sword, Neptune managed to kill the monster before she killed the first one that attacked.
“And that’ll do it!” Neptune said, turning to face Nepgear. “Whoa Nepgear! What’s with the look?” She asked.
“Uh? Nothing!” Nepgear said, shaking her head. “Good job!”
“Thanks!” Neptune said.
Neptune and Nepgear turned back towards the main road, but stopped in their tracks. Hundreds of DQN zombies, lizards, zombie dogs and zombie dogoo were marching down the street.
“I don’t think we can handle all of these…” Nepgear said, her voice shook in her throat.
“Yeah… We might have to…” Neptune began, looking for another way to get to the Basilicom.
A huge ball of fire suddenly slammed into the army of monsters, killing dozens of them at one time. After that, a girl with red hair flew at the creatures and killed several of them with a giant toy hammer.
“I apologize for being late.” MAGES. Said, appearing from a nearby alleyway. “But mad magicians keep their own schedules.”
“Hi!” Red said, as she rushed over to Neptune and Nepgear. “So did my wifeys miss me?” She asked.
“Yes this one.” MAGES. Began. “I met her near a Fairy Tower and she insisted that I was now her ‘wifey’. I protested of course, but she won’t drop the subject.”
“Hi ladies!” Neptune said, happily.
“When did you two arrive at Planeptune?” Nepgear asked, happily.
“I can’t speak for the annoying one, but I’ve been here for two days now.” MAGES. Said.
“Same here.” Said Red. “I found a bunch of new wifeys, but you two are still my favorites!”
“Aw!” Neptune said. “We are pretty amazing, huh? Anyways thanks for the save!”
“Where are you two heading?” Asked MAGES..
“Basilicom.” Said Nepgear. “We need to talk to Purple Heart and Purple Sister.”
“Very well. We shall be your escorts.” MAGES. Said as she turned towards the remaining monsters.
MAGES. And Red ran side-by-side with Neptune and Nepgear following close behind. As they ran the girls were able to cut down more and more of the approaching monsters. MAGES. Used her magic, while Red used her assortment of toy weapons and shield to keep everyone safe.
Thanks to MAGES. And Red the trip to the Basilicom was a lot easier for them. The girls noticed that dozens of Basilicom defense forces were aiming firing energy weapons at the monsters, but there wasn’t enough to make that big of a difference.
The girls ran into the Basilicom before anyone could stop them. “PURPLE…!” Neptune began, but before she could finish speaking, Purple Sister had embraced the girl in a tight hug.
“Are you okay?” Purple Sister asked, the girl was close to tears.
“I’m fine.” Said Neptune, blushing heavily.
“I see you already met one of my wifeys!” Said Red, happily. “I’m glad my wifeys are drawn to each other!”
Purple Sister smiled as she turned her eyes to Red. “I’m glad you’re okay too Red.”
“I’m good as well.” Said MAGES..
Purple Heart was standing on the other side of the room talking to some of her guards. After she finished talking, the goddess made her way over to the group of girls that had gathered in her Basilicom. “I’m glad you two are alright.” Purple Heart said, to Neptune and Nepgear. “I see you brought some friends with you.”
“Yes. MAGES. And Red.” Nepgear said, introducing each of the girls to their lady.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is MAGES.. I’m a mad magician.” MAGES. Said, smiling mischievously.
“Nice to meet you! Do you want to be my wifey?” Asked Red.
Purple Sister smiled a little, before turning her attention to Purple Sister. “Purple Sister? Could you do me a favor and keep an eye on everyone in the Basilicom? I’ll be right back.” She said.
“Of course.” Purple Sister said, a determined look appeared on her face.
“Purple Heart?” Nepgear said, furrowing her brow.
“It’s alright. My people told me that there is a large figure just outside the city. It’s description matches that of HachimaJin. I’m going to fly there and take care of it.” Said Purple Heart.
Before anyone could try to stop Purple Heart, the goddess stepped outside the Basilicom and shot into the air like a bullet.
***
Once Purple Heart was flying high over her city, her eyes fell on the large figure that she had received reports of. “There you are!” Purple Heart said, summoning her sword.
HachimaJin turned it’s eyes towards the goddess. “The goddess going to attack us?” HachimaJin said, in a feminine voice.
“Yeah! It’s going to be epic!” HachimaJin said, in a male voice.
“Were running away?” HachimaJin said.
“Not because were scared!” HachimaJin said.
Purple Heart gasped as a large gateway opened up in front of HachimaJin. In a matter of seconds the creature flew through the gateway and vanished. Her eyes quickly turned to the Basilicom where a large, energy shield appeared around the entire building. “NO!” Purple Heart screamed. “It was a trap…”
