Nepgear, IF and Compa begin their search for the real Treasure Gem and Hematite. They defeat a bunch of monsters in the dungeon but are unable to get any leads. They run into the adventurer, Falcom. Falcom notes how sad Nepgear is and helps the party out by telling them that Treasure Gem is found in Planeptune in Virtua Forest Depths. Underling was listening in and decides to prepare and Anti-CPU trap on them in Planeptune.
Nepgear finds Uni moping and self-depreciating herself. Her concern is that she'll never be like her sister. Nepgear tries to cheer her up, saying that she can never be like her sister too. She has to be better, enough to save them. That opens Uni's eyes and then CFW Brave appears. He decides to let them go if the stop fighting ASIC but the two refuses and battle begins. Brave was defeated but he was glad considering how much stronger Uni was just because of one ally. He tells them to stronger before they meet again. Uni decides to join the party and asks Nepgear to not tell the party what happened here. Nepgear agrees not to tell the party about Uni's whining and self-depreciation.
