Super Neptunia RPG[]
For your first job, go to Lastation Outskirts
Chrome was recently spotted by Bombyx Mori who are in hot pursuit. As she runs, she bumps into a girl and drops her book.
The girl picks it up and calls out to the Chrome that she dropped her book. Chrome looks back and sees that the girl was Neptune. She can't believe that she would run into her. Neptune wonders if she knows her. Chrome understands that Neptune has lost her memory but that doesn't explain why she is here.
Neptune explains that she has been sent this way by Bombyx Mori and that she is a new recruit. Chrome does not want Neptune to be them and tells wants Neptune to follow her now. Neptune is shocked.
A Bombyx Mori captain sees the lady and alerts others. Neptune sees them and wonders if they brought snacks. The lady is annoyed they caught up to her. The captain declares that the lady is the reason Filyn acts weird so she is going to pay. Another officer calls her the enemy of Bombyx Mori.
The captain says that their orders were to bring her back alive but they all know that's not gonna happen. Neptune wonders why they are so mad. She wonders what the Chrome did. Neptune notices the book is glowing. Chrome snatches the book back from Neptune. Ester Zira catches up declares it is time to bring her in for Lady Filyn.
Chrome notes that Ester is the last person she wants to see right now. Ester prepares to attack as Chrome flees calling out to Neptune.
Greet Ester at Ratchet Volcano
Chrome sees Neptune struggling against Ester and Bombyx Mori. As Ester is about to finish her off, Chrome arrives and attacks Ester. She scolds Neptune asking what she is doing? Neptune is surprised to see the lady again.
Ester is glad because the bait strategy worked. She praises herself for being amazing. Chrome tells Neptune to focus on the enemy. Neptune follows Chrome's orders. The pair hold off Ester and Bombyx Mori well annoying Ester. She tells Chrome to just be captured already. The lady is annoyed at the persistence of Ester.
Ester begins to attack but counters with a smoke screen. Bombyx Mori officers get worried for Ester. The lady tells Neptune this is their chance to escape. She tells Neptune to stay close to her. Neptune follows Chrome's instructions and the two flee.
As the smoke clears, Ester admits she thought she was going to die. She orders Bombyx Mori not to let them get away and they attempt to chase the pair. After some running Neptune tells the lady to wait a second. Chrome tells Neptune there is no time for that and they need to keep moving. Neptune complains that she can't walk anymore and begs for a break.
Chrome sees that Neptune is struggling and agrees for a short break, as they'll be fine for a little while. Neptune complains that she is beat no thanks to Bombyx Mori. She thought they were the good guys. Neptune guesses this must be the fate of a Hero. Chrome reminds Neptune that she told her not to get involved with them. Neptune says she couldn't resist their snacks.
Neptune says that she is fine with no money, nor memories but how does the lady expect her to live without the munchies. Chrome tries to respond to Neptune. Neptune cuts her off noting how unfair it is that she doesn't the lady's name but the lady knows her name. The lady introduces herself as Chrome and tells Neptune that she understands what she is going through but...
Neptune realizes that Chrome is the mysterious one who knows more about her than she knows herself. She is excited to meet this sort of character and asks her if she is friend or foe. Chrome tries to calm Neptune so that she can listen to her. Neptune complains that she is hungry and maybe she should just go back to Bombyx Mori as they have snacks.
Chrome relents and agrees that she will feed Neptune. She tells Neptune to come with her to the tavern. Neptune is excited and hopes that this isn't too much trouble for her. Chrome remarks that Neptune hasn't changed a bit.
Be treated to food at the Lastation Guild
Chrome treats Neptune to a meal in the Lastation Guild. Neptune gorges herself on rice cakes, porridge and pudding. Neptune hungrily wants another round and more pudding as well. Chrome tells Neptune to slow down as it's not like anyone's gonna steal her food.
Neptune continues to eat and Chrome guesses Neptune can't help it. Chrome decides it's time to Neptune her book. Neptune recognizes it as the book from earlier. Chrome says it's Histoire. Neptune questions what she means by Histoire. Chrome explains that its name. Neptune remembers that the book was glowing when she first met Chrome. Neptune hopes that she's not crazy and asks why it did that.
Chrome explains that Histoire does that to let Chrome know that she has run into an ally. However, Chrome does not need it anymore so she hands the book to Neptune. Neptune is surprised but she promises to take good care of it. Neptune is glad that it can point out allies just like a Hero needs. She hopes it doesn't bring her any wimpy party members.
Chrome has no idea what Neptune is talking about. However she needs Neptune to listen. Chrome explains that Bombyx Mori are evil, and anyone who opposes them meets a terrible, violent fate. Neptune does not like the sound of that.
Neptune then remembers that their leader Filyn was obsessed with Chrome. Chrome explains that it is not what Neptune thinks but they do have a lot of history. Neptune nods. Chrome tells Neptune that once they are done, they are headed to the Weapons Shop. Neptune asks why. Chrome explains that she is low on money, so they are going to the guild to find work. They'll need weapons.
Neptune says that she is a Hero, so she will sit this one out. She's sure Chrome understands. Chrome reminds Neptune that a life of a Hero is one of blood, sweat, and tears. Neptune needs to work. Neptune did not know this. She thinks she needs a new career path. Perhaps she can be a Jester.
Neptune and Chrome head to the Weapons Shop. During which they see a couple looking sad at a trashed store. Neptune wonders why there are games are on the street. A man says this is too much. He knows that his games are rated poorly but to see it out on the street like this. Chrome tells Neptune this is the work of Bombyx Mori, they trashed the store to make an example.
The man adds that they forced them to make games with similar designs and same old ideas. If they can just try something new for once, they might not get low ratings. His wife tries to cheer him up, saying that at least they didn't get punished. The poor Armor Shop owner was sent to the Trial Grounds last week. The husband agrees with his wife, and adds that the Armor Shop owner was never the same either. He wonders what happened to him.
The wife tells her husband that they can't let themselves suffer the same fate. The man agrees. Neptune asks Chrome what they are talking about. Chrome explains that the Trial Grounds of Bombyx Mori's number two, the Mad King are where people are sent to be rehabilitated after defying Bombyx Mori. They are forced to shoot rotating iron plates or fireballs at a steel turtle.
If they can destroy them, they can walk freely. Neptune thinks that sounds easy enough. Chrome clarifies that the turtle are indestructible, this is meant to wear people down physically and mentally. Neptune thinks that is terrifying. Neptune guesses that Bombyx Mori are bad people and Filyn is behind it all. Chrome agrees and adds that Filyn is a terrible person.
Neptune can't believe she was almost duped by them. Chrome reminds Neptune that if she is caught, she will be sent to the Trial Grounds. Neptune says she refuses to go.
The man thinks their games thrown on the street near their shop will take forever to clean. He asks Neptune and Chrome for help. Neptune wonders if he is referring to her. Chrome tells Neptune that if they don't help him, they need to take the long way to the Weapons Shop. Neptune understands what Chrome is saying and decides to help him.
Chrome is happy Neptune understands and tells her that a good deed will always come back to you in the end. After helping the couple out with their cleanup, Neptune is glad that she is done. The man thanks Neptune and notes it isn't much but asks her to take this. Neptune takes 200C and feels like she has taken her first step towards being a real Hero.
Chrome notes that it is the first of many. She is in for a workout.
Ready your equipment at the Armor Shop
Inside the Weapon Shop, the owner greets them and asks them what they want. Neptune says she wants their strongest sword and with a Hero discount. Chrome gets angry at how Neptune assumes she is already a Hero. Neptune gets a Sensword, and Chrome thinks they are good on equipment, now they are headed to the Guild for work.
Neptune is disappointed that it is so soon. Chrome says she is broke and hurries Neptune.
Accept a Hunt Quest at the Lastation Guild
At the guild, Chrome tells Neptune this is where she can take on requests. She hopes there is an easy one. Neptune wants there to be a request for pudding tasting. Chrome tells Neptune not to be ridiculous. Those do not exist. She tells Neptune, she is now on her own. Neptune asks Chrome where she is going. Chrome tells Neptune there are things she needs to do, and Neptune needs to earn money for food. She should get to it.
Neptune thinks the world is cruel. Chrome leaves Neptune.
Report to Chrome at the Lastation Guild
Chrome waits for Neptune to return from her Hunt quest. Neptune returns with new allies. Neptune brags that she has completed a mission as a Hero should. Chrome tells her the mission was easy so she shouldn't get carried away. Chrome sees Neptune's new friends and asks who they are. Neptune reports that she has acquired allies, as Histoi- Histy started glowing. Noire and Blanc introduces themselves.
Blanc asks Neptune what the lady's name is. Neptune struggles to remember, so Chrome introduces herself. She notes they are one short. Noire asks if that means she knows who they are. Chrome tells them they will find out soon enough, as she does not feel like telling them.
Since Chrome is not willing to tell Noire, she declares she will have to get it out of her somehow. Chrome refuses to give up such information easily. Neptune announces that the plot thickens! What mysteries does the new character hold? She tells the audience to stay tuned.
Chrome smirks and asks them if they are going to try and force out of her. She is really strong. Noire tells Neptune that if she with them she has to try harder to get answers from Chrome. Blanc asks Chrome what she means by one short? Who are they missing? Noire did not catch that. Blanc tells Noire she needs to learn to read between the lines. She is too impatient. Noire's verbal beating is made worse with Neptune piling in.
Chrome tells the group that Histoire has an answer for them. Neptune tells Chrome that they couldn't read what showed up on the cover earlier. She asks Chrome to read it for them. Chrome tells them that it something only Goddesses can read. Neptune does not understand what Chrome means by this. Chrome tells Neptune that she is not a goddess any... anyway, so she can't read it.
Only goddesses can use Histoire's power and that is why she does not need it. Neptune notes that she is not a goddess, or is she? However, she can't read the text so why is that? Chrome has no idea. Blanc asks Chrome about Histoire's other powers than pointing out allies. Chrome tells Blanc she will find out soon enough.
Noire can't believe that is all Chrome is telling them. They can't trust her like this. Chrome is okay with this, and just for their information, there are 7 tomes out there that allow non-Goddesses to read Histoire. They should find them and they'll be able to read Histoire. Chrome tells them she has scattered them far and wide. Chrome takes her leave.
Neptune tells Chrome to wait but she already left. Noire wonders seriously, who is she? Chrome returns surprising Neptune and Noire. She forget one final reminder, Neptune is not to waste the money she earns. She has to be responsible and then Chrome leaves for real this time.
Head to the Lowee Guild
Chrome is eating a meal at the Lowee Guild when Neptune and Blanc meet up with her. Neptune happily asks if Chrome is having a lunch break. Blanc greets Chrome. Chrome is surprised to see the two and asks them what is going on. Neptune wants to eat too and asks Chrome if she can have a bite. It looks so good! Neptune begs Chrome stating that she will pass out from hunger.
Chrome understands and assures Neptune she will get her something. Blanc thinks Neptune is embarrassing. Neptune cheers and asks for a large Hero Combo and a side of pudding. Chrome reiterates that she does not know what is going on. She notices that Noire is missing. Blanc explains that as they were investigating the Akoop Archives and Noire was captured by Bombyx Mori who thought she was a spy. They attempted to rescue her but failed and now they are trying to figure out their next moves.
Neptune agrees that this is a total mess and that she is so worried that she can barely eat as she gorges herself. Chrome observes that Neptune is just eating fine. Blanc asks if there is anything they can do. Chrome suggests that they head to Leanbox. Blanc does not understand why the place is suggested. Neptune does not know the place. Blanc explains that it is a nation across the sea.
Chrome adds that it is the base of the Resistance and probably their last hope. Neptune understands but Blanc notes that it will take forever to get there. Chrome assures Blanc and Neptune that she will keep an eye on Noire. If she is correct about Bombyx Mori, she will be safe... for now. Neptune is happy that they now have a plan. She wants one more pudding though, before she goes. However, she remembers that Noire is waiting so she decides to hold off the pudding for now. Blanc agrees.
Head to FC Land (3)
Near FC Land in Twin Mountains, the party runs into Chrome. Neptune apologizes for making Chrome wait. Chrome is surprised to see Vert and guesses that they are now all here. Vert is confused and asks if she knows her. Chrome says that Vert might know her. Neptune asks Chrome to stop with the mysterious one-liners. Blanc asks about Noire. Chrome says that she is safe but they don't have much time.
Artisan seems to recognize Chrome. Chrome understands that seeing Artisan that Neptune was able to enlist the help of the Resistance. Neptune wonders if the two of them know each other. Artisan chuckles and says that Neptune can see that. While Neptune would love details, she wants to focus on saving Noire. Vert agrees. Chrome explains that they are holding Noire in Yanderella Castle. Blanc says they need to save her and urges the party to go. Neptune likes it when Blanc is all fired up. Neptune leads the way. Chrome joins the party.
Charge into Yanderella Castle
Inside Yanderella Castle, Neptune can't believe something so pretty outside can be so creepy on the inside. Artisan notes that based on intel, Noire is held in an underground cell. Blanc tells Noire to hold on a little more.
Search for Noire in the basement of Yanderella Castle
Eventually the party was able to find Noire. Noire is surprised that Neptune actually came for her. Blanc says she is here too. Noire thanks Blanc. Noire notes that the door is locked. Artisan tells her to leave it to her and unlocks the door. Noire is finally freed. She asks Chrome who these two new faces are. Vert walks up and is introduces herself as Vert. Neptune explains that Vert is the last piece of the puzzle according to Histoire and the other person is...
Artisan notes that Noire has been through a lot. Neptune continues that she is with the Resistance and the spy they were accusing Noire of being. Noire then says that means this would be her fault. Artisan apologizes for that. Noire is about to say her mind but holds back. First they need to get out of here. Neptune agrees. Seeing how dirty Neptune's face is, Noire is about get her handkerchief but she notices she already used it. Neptune is confused. Noire remembers she used it as a bandage for that kitty.
Vert thinks they must bring that injured kitty with them. Noire does not know where the cat is. As soon as she took her eyes of the kitty, it was gone. Chrome notes that they don't have time for this and must go.
Escape Yanderella Castle
The party are almost out of Yanderella Castle and Neptune can see the exit. Someone tells them not so fast. Chrome recognizes this voice. It is Filyn, and she tells them they cannot just break out of her castle on her watch. Chrome notes that it really is Filyn. Noire warns everyone that this is the leader of Bombyx Mori. Filyn confirms Noire's warning.
Neptune can't believe that it is the loli... Filyn. Neptune can't believe she let that slip but looking at Filyn, there is no other way to describe her. Filyn asks if Neptune just called her a loli. Neptune quickly explains that she was just coughing, and notes that she is just Filyn. Blanc notes that she is such a little girl. Vert thinks she is adorable. Filyn can't believe what she is hearing.
Chrome warns the party that there is a reason why she is the leader of Bombyx Mori. They cannot fight her right now. Filyn is glad that Chrome is always the voice of reason. Filyn demands that they surrthender... surrender quickly. Neptune wonders if Filyn just bit her tongue. Noire, Blanc, Vert, Artisan and Chrome confirms that she did bite her tongue.
Filyn tells them she did not bite tongue. Filyn tells them not to make fun of her and she won't forgive them. She is going to blow them all up. Neptune is surprised. Chrome tells the party to leave this to her. Blanc can't believe Chrome is going to handle this. Chrome tells the party to make a run for this. She will handle this alone. The party is in shock. Even Filyn can't believe this.
Filyn wonders if she will have a date with Chrome. Filyn wants to go on a Ferris Wheel first. Chrome refuses to go on any rides with her. Filyn then suggests they go on one of those spinning cups first then. She is cool with that and wants to go. Chrome tells her she is not going. Filyn is shocked by her refusal. Filyn thinks Chrome wants to go the funhouse then.
Vert believes no battle will be happening so they should just leave. Blanc and Noire agree. Besides, Noire does have something amazing that she saw when she was brought here that she wants to tell the party about. Noire also wants to properly get acquainted with Vert. Vert agrees. Neptune remarks that Filyn seems to be obsessed with Chrome. Neptune agrees with running away while Filyn is distracted. Artisan agrees.
Head to Leanbox from Lowee Harbor (2)
Elsewhere, Chrome is running away. Chrome catches her breath and notes that this should okay. Planeptune is definitely far enough. It should take Filyn a while to catch up to her. Filyn is only a little bit behind and calls out to Chrome. Chrome notes that Filyn is too persistent. She wonders if there is a place that she can hide.
IF appears surprising Chrome. She tells Chrome to follow her and the two escape.
Search for houses in Sakura Road
It is later revealed that Chrome enters Compa's House with IF. IF assures Chrome she can hide here as long as she needs. Chrome asks IF why she saved her. IF admits that she does not know and just felt like she had to. Compa is beaming about having a guest over as they have not had one in a long time. IF and Compa introduce themselves to Chrome. Chrome then introduces herself and thanks the two. Chrome says she will not be staying long.
A while later, some commotion was heard outside the house. IF goes out to see what it is all about but takes a while. Compa wants to go too, but Chrome warns her it might be Bombyx Mori. Chrome accompanies Compa and sees that it was just Neptune's party.
Chrome is surprised to see the party again. IF asks Chrome if she knows the party. Chrome asks the party why they are here. Chrome guesses what they have been up to. Neptune gets excited from the mysterious words coming from the mysterious lady. Chrome asks Neptune to stop calling her that.
Compa suggests to IF that since the party is friends with Chrome, that they should let them in. IF agrees, and she wants to hear more about their adventures in the underwater city. Neptune is happy to be let in.
Inside Compa's House, Neptune says it is tradition for a Hero to introduce herself. Neptune introduces herself. Compa and IF wonder what Neptune means by Hero. Noire tells them not to worry about it. Noire then introduces herself politely. Blanc introduces herself. Vert also politely introduces herself. IF then introduces herself and notes that they have been living here for... Compa introduces herself as IF's roommate. Compa notes that now there is three of them living here now. Chrome chuckles and clarifies that she is not planning on staying long but Chrome introduces herself anyways. She notes that the party already knows her.
Blanc points out that while they know Chrome's name, that is all they know. They know nothing else about her. Noire agrees, and questions why Chrome is here of all places. They are very far from Lowee after all. Chrome explains how she was chased by Filyn to Planeptune and found refuge at Compa's House.
Chrome finishes explaining her story and admits she was only planning a short stay but... Vert and Neptune understands what Chrome is trying to get at. Neptune adds that she has something to say to Chrome. Chrome can only guess what that is. Neptune declares that she is hungry and wants her to buy her something to eat. Chrome scolds Neptune to spend her money wisely.
Compa laughs and suggests they all have tea. They can all rest and talk a bit. Compa asks if that is okay with IF. IF notes that Compa is happy to have company. Compa is glad IF noticed. IF agrees to allowing their guest to rest and eat. However, IF notes that they only have tea and sweets. Compa wonders if she should make some pudding as she has the ingredients. Neptune wants Compa to do it. She tells her to put all the ingredients in an alchemy pot so that it'll be done quickly.
Compa does not think that is actually a thing. IF tells the party that everyone has to help. Those who do not help, do not eat. Neptune says that hearing that makes her heart melt. Vert thinks it is like salt on a slug. Blanc corrects Vert as slugs don't melt, they shrink. Vert is surprised that is the case, but wonders who cares. Noire agrees that they will help and tells Neptune to get up. Neptune says she will do anything for pudding and gets up eager to help out.
Help Compa
Neptune asks Compa to let her help. Compa thanks Neptune and lets her take care of the eggs. They finish the pudding and Neptune announces to her party that it is all ready. Neptune tries the pudding and finds it delicious. She praises Compa for being a good cook. Neptune thinks Compa's skills are why Chrome is still living with them. Chrome retorts that her stomach does not guide her every action unlike Neptune.
Neptune recounts her adventures and concludes that this is why she wants to know about these old games from Chrome. She knows that Chrome knows a lot about them. Chrome agrees, so she explains that 3D games once existed in Gamindustri. However Bombyx Mori and Filyn hid them so that no traces of them exist. Vert thinks that is so terrible. Noire is surprised Vert is so hurt by this. Vert declares that every games deserves to be played... by herself. Now Noire feels dumb for feeling concerned about Vert. Blanc is upset that Bombyx Mori is also involved in censoring books. She won't forgive them.
Chrome acknowledges that resources go into graphical tech in 3D games, making actual content sparse. However that does not seem like enough reason for Filyn to hate them that much. Blanc observes that Bombyx Mori idolizes 2D games which do not use as much resources on graphical content. Noire notes that this lines up with what Artisan said. Vert believes they will get more answers when they pursue Bombyx Mori. Neptune agrees.
Neptune still remembers that Bombyx Mori kidnaps engineers and burns books so... Noire thinks that entire issue has nothing to do with her. Noire tries to leave Neptune's party. Chrome cuts Noire off and explains that Filyn is the reason why the 4 of them don't have their memories. Noire quickly changes her attitude and wants to hunt Filyn down. Blanc wants to confirm with Chrome that Filyn is ordering all those book burnings. Chrome assures that Filyn founded Bombyx Mori and the one leading everything. Blanc agrees that Filyn must be stopped. Neptune doesn't really understand what is going on but the loli - Filyn must be stopped. Vert agrees.
Chrome appreciates the party's enthusiasm but normal humans don't stand a chance against her. Neptune disagrees as she is the Hero. They can win if they just- Filyn is heard outside calling Chromey out to play. Chrome and the party are surprised. Neptune can't believe she is already here. Filyn knocks on the door for Chrome. Chrome responds that she is busy and Filyn is noisy. She tells Filyn to go home.
Filyn wonders who is inside with Chrome. She warns, whoever it is, better not be interfering with her play time with Chrome. She demands Chrome come out. Neptune wonders if they should throw down now. She is worried because she does not have all her Hero equipment yet. Noire is annoyed with Neptune as there is no Hero equipment. Vert worries that they have to think of something as Filyn will barge in at any moment. Blanc thinks she is about to break down the door.
Chrome tells everyone to hide. She will deal with Filyn. Neptune agrees to leave this to Chrome. IF worriedly asks if Chrome can handle this. Chrome assures IF that she is used to dealing with Filyn. She can handle it. Compa tells IF to hurry and hide. Everyone hides. Shortly later, Filyn calls out to Chromey asking if she can hear her. Hearing now response, Filyn loses patience and says if she is going to be like that then...
Chrome tells Filyn to wait. She is going to get the door. Filyn enters and very happy to see Chrome. She remarks that she really wanted to see Chrome and suggests that they play together. Chrome tells Filyn to calm down and she will play with her. Filyn is happy to have her date with Chrome. Filyn wonders what they should do first and something catches her eye. Chrome wonders what is up as no one else is here.
Filyn wonders then why are so many cups out. Chrome explains that she made too many sweets so she had to make a lot of tea to go with them. Filyn asks if Chrome made all this by herself. Chrome assures her that she did. Filyn remembered a while back that Chrome said that she could not cook.
Chrome tries to explain herself. She quickly explains that she wanted to make something nice for Filyn so she learned. Neptune laughs at Chrome's frantic attempts to deceive Filyn. Filyn hears something and asks who is there. Neptune apologizes as she couldn't help it. Neptune thinks they are in trouble now as she sees Filyn looking around. Neptune makes some weird animal sounds. Blanc wonders what kind of noise was that. Filyn brushes out that sound of that of a fish. It makes sense since they are by the water.
Both Chrome and Neptune breathe a sigh of relief. Vert wonders if fishes actually make noise like that. Filyn remarks that sound was stupidest she ever heard. She wonders if fishes sound like that. Fishes are dumb and listening to them made her dumber. Neptune gets upset at her remarks. Noire tells Neptune to keep it together. Filyn does not care about anything else anymore as she is happy to see Chrome and wants to confirm if all this is for her.
She asks if she can have some now. Chrome tells her she can and suggests that as it is late, she should go home when she is done. Filyn thinks the food looks delicious and starts eating.
Filyn starts eating the sweets the party helped Compa make. She thinks the food is both very sweet and yummy. Chrome warns Filyn not to eat so fast as she might choke. Filyn thanks Chrome for her concern. She continues to eat. Vert notes that Filyn eats rather ferciously. Neptune worries that Filyn will eat everything. Chrome continues to observe Filyn.
Filyn is able to eat everything. She notes that she is stuffed. Chrome is glad that Filyn liked it and thinks it is time to- Filyn notes that when she is full, she gets sleepy... Filyn starts to fall asleep. Chrome calls out to Filyn. Filyn is fast asleep and notes that she likes Chrome so much. Chrome guesses Filyn hasn't changed after all. Filyn wants them to play together again. Chrome continues to observe Filyn before escorting her out.
Chrome tells everyone it is okay now and they can come out now. Neptune wonders where Filyn went as she was just sleeping. Chrome explains that she threw Filyn out. Vert thinks that is a bit cruel. Regardless, Chrome notes that she does it all the time. Filyn does not remember it whens she wakes up anyway. Blanc thinks that is strange. Noire worries about IF and Compa as they are still in the closet. She takes a look and notices that they are sleeping. Neptune notes that she feels bad about waking them up.
Chrome tells them to leave them be because this is pretty convenient. They can continue their conversation from before. Blanc agrees with Chrome. Neptune recounts they found an album with her, IF and Compa in it. Vert wonders if they were already acquainted. She got the idea they had all just met. Chrome tries to explain with Histoire pops out. Neptune is surprised that Histy is awake. Histoire seems very happy with the company that has assembled.
Neptune notices that Histoire is talking like crazy. Noire does not think that Histoire has ever said this much to them. Chrome understands what Histoire wants. Chrome revises her previous statement and thinks that it is possible for them to defeat Filyn. Neptune is happy with Chrome's changed opinion as she is a Hero after all. Neptune notes she is no run-of-the-mill human. Chrome agrees as Neptune is more a Goddess.
Neptune does not understand what Chrome means by Goddess. Blanc asks if it is the Goddess that IF mentioned in the folk tale. Vert remembers the one that was supposed to protect Planeptune. Chrome confirms that this is what she means by Neptune is that Goddess. And it is not just Planeptune, Lastation, Lowee and Leanbox all have Goddesses. However it is more accurate to say, they "had" Goddesses as they are all now gone.
In order for someone to become a Goddess, Histoire must acknowledge them. Noire is surprised that Histoire had such an ability. Neptune pieces it together, four nations, four Goddesses, and they are a party of four. Chrome again confirms that Neptune is on the right track. Neptune is happy at such a coincidence. Chrome stops being cryptic and bluntly states that the four of them are the Goddesses.
Neptune tells Chrome not to get worked up as she was just making a joke. Chrome admits that Neptune is exhausting. Noire guesses that means they were the four Goddesses protecting the nations. Chrome confirms this and notes that when they were turned human, they likely lost their memories. With Histoire, however they have a chance to become Goddesses again. If they are able to do that, then they can get their memories back. Noire gets excited, and wants to make sure Chrome is not lying when they can actually regain their memories. Vert is taken aback by the realization that they were all Goddesses. Blanc is excited that as a Goddess, that she should be able to read all the books in the world.
Neptune wonders if she be a Goddess or a Hero. Neptune asks if the Hero class or the Goddess class is better. Hero sounds coo- The group stop Neptune before she gets off track.
Steel your resolve and speak to Chrome
Chrome guesses it is time she told them everything. Neptune is getting tired with this exposition. She asks the teacher if it is cool if she could skip this scene. Chrome tells Neptune she can but she might be in trouble if she does. Neptune guesses that was the case. If they have anything important to do, they should do it now.
Wait a moment: Chrome says she will be wating for Neptune in Compa's House until she is ready.
I'm good!: Chrome says she will begin. She explains that as before she mentioned that this world had four Goddesses who ruled over four nations. Vert adds that would be themselves. Chrome confirms this. Chrome adds that Histoire is an AI that exists to support the Goddesses and record history. Neptune is surprised that this book has artificial intelligence. Now she has seen everything. Blanc does not think it is strange considering the book could communicate.
Chrome adds that Histoire was human, but lose the battle for the last world and was trapped in the book as a result. Noire questions what Chrome means "The battle for the last world". Chrome avoids answering and tries to move on. Noire snaps at Chrome reminding her she asked a question. Chrome asks Noire to let her continue and they will understand soon enough.
Chrome continues and explains they all lost that battle and all memories of them disappeared from the citizens. That is why Compa and IF don't remember them. They were allies with them before. Neptune is surprised they used to know the two of them. Chrome confirms this. Chrome refers to the album where they met IF and Compa before they became human. Blanc asks if Chrome knows those two too since there was a picture of the three of them there.
Chrome confirms she knows them but adds that Neptune knew them way more and that IF and Compa believed in Neptune. That belief in a Goddess gives them strength and without it, the Goddess cannot exist. Neptune digests this fact for a bit. She asks why despite the fact they have no memories, they are still alive and still exist.
Chrome explains that Histoire should have been helpful in gathering the Goddesses. Neptune complains that Chrome is ignoring her question. Chrome continues that once the Goddesses are gathered, Histoire will awaken and lend her power. Chrome refers to that book Blanc keeps and asks them to read it to make Histoire's physical form appear. Neptune does not want to read that huge wall of text and asks Chrome to do it.
Chrome tells Neptune that a defender of a nation shouldn't rely on people like that. She asks Neptune to use the tomes. Neptune guesses she should try. She asks Histoire to play it again. Histoire begins to communicate. Blanc notes that the tome is right here. Neptune looks at it. Blanc thinks it reads "team". Neptune reads out the spell "Nep Team Epic!". Vert reads out "Let's Nep Nep". Noire sees that Histoire is troubled.
Neptune believes they have to say it at the same time. They will do it on three! She counts and the party chants "Nep Team Epic!" Histoire finally appears.
Histoire is glad and thought this would have taken 300 years. Neptune is excited to see their cute book. Noire guesses all that text boiled down to a little phrase. Histoire explains that the four Goddesses had to unify their thoughts and call out. Histoire notes that when they were separated, she had no idea what would happen. She feels reassured now. Neptune points out that Histoire is small and cute. Chrome tells the party to direct all their questions to Histoire as she knows more than her.
Chrome explains that she knows a lot about lost history and also- Histoire cuts Chrome off and tells the party she guide them through the process of reclaiming their Goddess powers which involves taking a challenge in their home nation. Since they are in Planeptune, Neptune quickly takes the challenge by chanting Nep Team... Histoire warns Neptune that the challenge is difficult but Neptune finishes the chant and gets teleported inside Histoire for the challenge.
Noire, Blanc and Vert wonder how Neptune is doing. Histoire explains that Neptune is looking around and now she is walking. Histoire narrates that Neptune then tripped and starts crying. She mumbles that "this isn't Hero work." Noire can't believe Neptune is talking about that after they found that they are Goddesses. Histoire announces it is a beautiful day for a challenger, and the first contestant is Neptune. She has found something in front of her and is on the approach. Histoire wonders what will happen next and tells the audience not to touch the dial. Neptune is on the move.
Purple Heart returns to the real world and apologizes for keeping the party waiting. Noire, Blanc and Vert can't believe what they are seeing. Purple Heart asks what is wrong. She wonders if it is something on her face. Noire asks if that is Neptune. Purple Heart confirms this, that in this form, she is Purple Heart but she is definitely Neptune. Purple Heart declares that she has been able to regain her power. She is back.
Histoire is glad that she is safe. Noire can't wrap her mind that Purple Heart is Neptune. Noire does not believe it, as Purple Heart seems intelligent. Blanc thinks she is a completely different person. Vert says the amount of discomfort in this room is incredible. Purple Heart remembers that in that album, none of them thought that the Purple one was her. However, it turns out she was right, she was the beautiful purple one. Blanc thinks Purple Heart sounds sad.
Purple Heart coughs and explains that a good amount of her memory has returned. She thinks it is strange they got along considering they fought a lot in the past. Vert wonders if that is true. Vert then asks what it was like inside the book. Purple Heart explains that it was strange. A console transforms into a Goddess, you must battle. Chrome smirks. Purple Heart returns to Neptune.
Neptune happily adds that there is something she remembers now that she is a Goddess. Chrome wonders what that is. She wonders why Chrome didn't tell them who she actually is, that she actually is a- Blanc guesses that Chrome was a Goddess. Neptune complains that she wanted to say that. Neptune wonders how Blanc knew. Blanc suspected it from the beginning. Noire wonders how. Blanc says that Chrome had Histoire which can only be read by the Goddesses, and she also has the tomes. Vert remembers Chrome explains that before. Neptune does not remember that at all. Since Chrome was at one point able to read Histoire, it was an easy conclusion to make.
Neptune is impressed by Blanc. Chrome thinks that she dropped hints everywhere making this a basic mystery. Blanc adds that Chrome is possibly a Goddess from a generation prior to theirs. Chrome is impressed with Blanc. Blanc thinks she is right and owes it all to the time she educated herself in books. Vert says Blanc is quite boastful. Since she knows so much, Chrome says there is nothing else for her to add. Blanc is right.
Blanc asks that Chrome explain the battle for the last world. Who exactly did they lose to and what caused memories of them to disappear. Chrome thinks they know the answer to that as well. Blanc thinks that would be Filyn. Neptune says that would be her guess as well and adds she always knew that. Vert sighs with Neptune's boast. Chrome says they are correct. Noire remembers that she told them they can't wait back in Yanderella Castle. Blanc is glad they solved some of the mysteries. She summarizes it as Filyn defeated them, their people forgot who they were and then they became human. Noire still wonders how could that be the case. Chrome says nothing. Blanc admits there are still some things she does not understand. Chrome tells them that IF and Compa's memories are gone even if the Goddesses remember. She asks them not to confuse them. Neptune agrees but suggests they stop talking all this. Her brain needs a break. Histoire praises Neptune for doing well and not skipping this part of the story. Neptune loves being praised by Histoire and wants to be given pudding as well. After she eats that pudding, she will also go to sleep like Compa. Noire guesses Neptune will be out for a bit. Noire just remembered they found a lot of expired pudding in the underwater city.
If the player talks to Compa before leaving Compa's House: Compa calls for Nep Nep. Neptune asks Compa what is wrong. Compa explains that she spoke to Iffy and want to have a little party before they leave. Neptune thinks that is great and wants to do it. Noire calls out to Neptune telling them they can't. Compa asks Noire what is wrong. Noire does not mind the party but... IF thinks that if that is the case, they are a good and they should start making preparations. Compa cheers. Chrome says she will be taking a nap and tells the party to wake her up when they are ready to leave.
Take the Goddess Challenge in Lastation
As the party is about leave, Neptune wants to get everyone up to speed. She asks her party if they are ready for their Goddess challenges? Blanc knows they have to go to all the nations. Noire in Lastation, Blanc in Lowee, Vert in Leanbox. Blanc wants to go in that order. Vert thinks it would be nice to visit the Resistance. Neptune thinks that is a plan and declare is offwards. Blanc says the line is "Onwards". Compa points them to a road that connects to Lastation. Neptune thanks Compa.
Gathering Maximum Eggplants
Neptune and her party are about to leave Compa's House when Artisan calls Neptune asking how they are all doing. Neptune tells her that they are doing well. She asks Artisan how's it is going. Artisan says it is good and wants to tell them all about a rumor that might interest them. There are delicious eggplants near Lowee. Artisan wants to get her hands on some but can't. She asks if the party can help her.
Neptune is taken aback by eggplants and wonders why Artisan would ever call her about eggplants. She tells Artisan that she does not like this and asks if Artisan is new here. Chrome is interested in eggplants and agrees that they can help. Noire thinks Chrome is too eager to help and asks if she likes eggplants. Chrome says that they are here favorite food in the world and perhaps the universe. Neptune sees how eager Chrome is and decides to help her find some. She wonders if eggplants are possibly good. If they are then...
Artisan is happy that they will help her. She says that she will be at the base so asks them to call her when they arrive. Chrome wants to head to the base now. Vert notes that she has never seen Chrome this eager to complete a task. Blanc adds that Chrome would have her respect if she was always like this. Chrome asks Blanc and Vert what they mean. Vert and Blanc say it is nothing.
Artisan is happy that the party has actually arrived. Chrome excitedly assures that the party would arrive as she likes eggplants. Neptune says that Chrome only speaks for herself because... Artisan wonders if that means Neptune is no longer up to the task. Chrome gives Neptune the stink eye. Cornered, Neptune says that was just a joke. She actually likes eggplants.
Artisan says that is great and begins to fill the party on the details. Artisan says that these eggplants aren't regular eggplants, they are Maximum Eggplants. They are becoming hard to find in Lowee so once they find them, they should bring them to the Resistance base. She wants them to gather 3 Maximum Eggplants. Noire asks how they are supposed to tell the difference between those eggplants and regular ones.
Blanc believe she has heard of something like that before. Artisan thinks that since Blanc is aware of what they look like, they should be able to find them quickly. Blanc corrects Artisan as she was not referring to eggplants but tomoat-. Chrome silences Blanc as they don't have the budget to win this legal battle. Blanc apologizes for that mishap. Chrome says they have all the info they need and should go. Artisan tells them to be careful out there.
In the Twin Mountains, the party runs into a strange eggplant. Neptune wonders if this is the Maximum Eggplant. Vert observes that there is an M written on it. Chrome takes a look at this rumored Maximum Eggplant. Based on its color, sheen and decent size, Chrome declares this the perfect eggplant. Noire observes that Chrome is completely engrossed in the eggplant. Neptune is about to throw up, and wonders how Chrome could like eggplants. She warns Chrome that she will call her the old eggplant lady.
Chrome takes offense to that. She is not an old lady; she is as young and alluring as the eggplant. Blanc asks Chrome how old she is anyways. Chrome thinks she is over a thousand but can't recall the exact number. Neptune says that makes Chrome an old eggplant grandma. Chrome pinches Neptune. Blanc read in a book that a human's lifespan is 80 but perhaps the book was wrong. Chrome tries to think of a response of Blanc's observation. She decides to awkward brush her statement of as a joke and calls Blanc too stiff for not getting it. She urges the party to continue the search for the next eggplant. Chrome walks on ahead.
Vert declares they have found their second Maximum Eggplant. Chrome excitedly declares they only need one more and tries to pump up the party by telling them to look alive. Neptune lets out a weak cheer.
Blanc spots the last eggplant and declares that is all three. Chrome wants to take them to Artisan immediately.
The party return to Resistance HQ and Chrome happily reports that they have the three Maximum Eggplants. Artisan says that was quick and is happy to eat them right away. Blanc asks Artisan if she is going to eat them raw. Artisan explains that apparently, they are best served raw. She takes one of the eggplants and tries it. It is delicious and Artisan is sure being as juicy as it is, it would be a great summer snack. Chrome asks if she can have one as well. Artisan happily hands some to Chrome as her party brought them over anyways. Chrome thanks Artisan and tries the eggplant. Chrome enjoys the eggplant praising it as the best eggplant she ever had.
Neptune covers her face and groans. She does not see the appeal of the eggplants at all. Vert asks Neptune how she knows she won't like eggplants. Artisan gives Neptune an eggplant for her to try. Neptune asks if she must try it. Artisan tells Neptune she will not force her to but vouches that the eggplant is delicious. Neptune says she will think about it.
Noire notes that she did not know that Chrome likes eggplants that much. Vert agrees and thought Chrome was a standard meat lover. Blanc says they are done now and should get going. Before they leave, Artisan wants the party to take this as a token of her appreciation. She'll contact them if something else comes up. Neptune tells Artisan that it better not be eggplant-related and says her goodbyes.

Trivia[]
- Because she has the same voice actress and loves eggplants, she might be a reminiscent of Arfoire.
- According to Dengekiko's interview article, despite Chrome bearing resemblance to Arfoire's human form from Re;Birth1, the game developers didn't know about Arfoire when making Super Neptunia RPG, meaning that it's unlikely Chrome was intended to be Arfoire.
- In the third OVA of Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation, Chrome's appearance was used for the young version of Arfoire.
