Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos/Story/Area 5

Plot[]

The Scheme[]

The Goddesses and Older Neptune arrive at Happy Dogoo Kingdom. Neptune then notices the whole fairy tale aesthetic is strong here. Uzume explains that she's been enchanted by the world of fairy tales when creating this place, and when they conquer it, the game is officially cleared. Noire asks if there's some guarding it based on the pattern. Uzume answers yes, and mentions that someone must've altered the data from what she set it to, and who knows what'll come out. Blanc and the others see Dogoo Lady arrive at the scene, with the latter noticing Uzume the Dogoo Divider. As Vert recognizes her familiar face, Blanc reminds her that every Dogoo has the same face, which insults Dogoo Lady. She then claims that she has the most beautiful faces amongst the Dogoo clan. Uzume asks her if this is to test their strength to see whether they have the right to move on or not. The latter summons a Dogoo to show how cute it is. As they are unaffected, Uzume then reminds her that they've been through a lot of trouble because of the Dogoos. Dogoo Lady doesn't believe that their love for Dogoos is forgotten, and that Uzume the Dogoo Divider is on a rampage, but realizes those claims are true. Uzume finally finds out that Dogoo Lady was the one who tinkered around with her game, and demands her to explain herself. Dogoo Lady refuses, and gathers everyone out of there.

The Feelings of Dogoo Lady[]

The Goddesses and Older Neptune defeat Dogoo Lady. Uzume then asks her what she did to the game they made, but the latter has no obligation to answer. Uzume still demands an answer from her, but is told that she doesn't follow her rules and performs a sexy pose, but it doesn't work on them. The Goddesses persistently try to tell her everything, and the latter notices their memories have returned, and the admin powers might be stronger than she thought. Blanc finds out that Dogoo Lady did mess with their memories, while the latter still refuses to tell them everything and leaves.

Stranded with No Way Out[]

As the Goddesses and Older Neptune chase after Dogoo Lady, they come across Dogoo Man Yin and Yang with a plan to make the group love Dogoos once again. Yin tells the leader to prepare for other things, while him and Yang try to hold the group off. As the group notice their plot, the duo then tells the group the Dogoos will remind them of their love, and they will secure a paradise for all Dogoos. Seeing this as a challenge, Uzume states she will catch them all.

Fusion Preparation[]

Dogoo Man Yin and Yang are defeated. The duo then hurry to their leader's location for her ultimate plan. Feeling confident about capturing Dogoo Lady, the Goddesses and Older Neptune suddenly see a cloud of dust getting closer to them.

Meanwhile, Yin and Yang tell their leader that they only managed to delay them. Dogoo Lady thanks the both of them and tells them their valiant efforts have lead to the Dogoo clan's victory, and it's finally their turn. Overhearing the plan, Uzume arrives to interrupt the reunion. She then tells the clan leader bringing all these weaklings don't scare her, and is reminded by the latter that the Hero of the Sky once said the same thing, and was flattened into a pancake.

Encounter with a God[]

Dogoo Lady commands Dogoo Man Yin and Yang and her fellow Dogoos to harness the great divine spirit within them, and strike down the enemies of the Dogoo clan. Dogoo Man Yin, Yang and the Dogoos first start off by performing a chant, combining themselves as the Gigodtic Dogoo. With the Goddesses and Older Neptune witnessing the titan, Dogoo Lady reminds them that they see themselves in the same position as the Hero of the Sky, smushed for underestimating the Dogoos. Neptune thinks that story is irrelevant, and the situation they're in is 100% original. She then continues by stating they don't have anything in common with that hero, unless Dogoo Lady has deets that suggest otherwise. Dogoo Lady claims that the Gigodtic Dogoo is strong, with no way for them to win. Neptune asks the leader if the Gigodtic Dogoo has actually fought anyone. The leader admits that the latter has fought nobody, and tells them it's obvious what would happen if it did. Neptune claims that turning god-sized at the end is a flag for losing, and they have a high chance of winning. The leader counteracts by telling them it doesn't matter what she says, and the divine power of the Gigodtic Dogoo will not waver. She then commands the latter to reawaken the love for Dogoos to the group. With the Goddesses and Older Neptune ready to defeat the Gigodtic Dogoo, the final battle begins.

Conclusion[]

The Gigodtic Dogoo is finally defeated by the Goddesses and Older Neptune. As the group still demand an answer to happened to the game Uzume created, Dogoo Lady explains she overheard about the development of the game and thought if all the goddesses came to love Dogoos, each nation would take steps to protect them. Uzume now knows that the leader prepared everything just in time for the playtest. Dogoo Lady then follows it up by stating she recruited engineers with black market tech to seal memories and to write a program that would make the average player love Dogoos, then after hacking into the development environment, she rigged it to activate when the playtest began. Blanc responds by stating as soon as they started the game, they forgot about the real world and fell madly in love with Dogoos. Dogoo Lady then states if the goddesses fell in love with Dogoos, the love would spread throughout every nations, and it would be a paradise for all Dogoos. Uzume sees this as a ridiculous notion, while Vert mentions if the plan succeeded, a sister kingdom vastly different from her ideals would have emerged in Leanbox. Noire then follows it up by stating she was about to sacrifice herself, with a chance of her not waking up. Blanc mentions about Uzume easily escaping the Dogoo-loving by herself must have been because of her admin rights, but she couldn't completely block the program's influence and still forgot about the admin rights.

With Uzume relieved that she wasn't the mastermind behind messing everyone up, and not knowing that she's the admin, Noire and Neptune apologize for doubting her. the former then explains the reason they could revert from their brainwashed state is because Uzume called them back. Vert then follows it up by explaining that Older Neptune was unaffected by the malicious program, as it only targets goddesses. With Dogoo Lady being able to analyze her own defeat, Uzume reminds her that she plotted something dumb. The latter denies this claim, stating it was a grand plan that risked the survival of the Dogoo clan, and relegated to the bottom of the hierarchy. Neptune and Vert suggest to her if she wants to improve the Dogoos' status, she has to do it in a legitimate way, like commanding them to bring her pudding or a doujin.

As Dogoo Lady considers to their suggestions in the future, Uzume suggests that they should return to reality and tie her up, but Older Neptune mentions she must have logged on from somewhere else, and it would be tough to arrest her in their reality. Uzume lets her go, with the latter thanking her and giving love to her from the Dogoos. Uzume reminds her that she can come for revenge all she wants, but as long as she doesn't use any dirty tricks again. The logout restriction is lifted, and the group finally wraps it up, starting with Dogoo Lady. Uzume mentions once they get back, she will fix the program and make a ton of adjustments. They all agree to help out, and say their goodbyes to the place.

Epilogue[]

The Goddesses and Older Neptune finally log out of the game, and come back to the real world. After feeling so exhausted, they decide to take a rest and work hard tomorrow. With the Goddesses, except Uzume gone to enjoy their regular lives, the latter decides to get something to eat with Older Neptune.
