BGM: Disturbed - Overburdened

"It's the closing of the curtain...

In the play that was my life.

Countless chapters left unopened...

Tragedies inside.

I was fighting for a reason,

Holy blessed homicide...

Seems I have committed treason,

All I've sacrificed..."

"Led to nothing!

Repeated in my mind...

Led to nothing!

If only I was born another time!

Hell is still overburdened,

I must stand and wait in line...

Hell is still overburdened,

How have I been so determined malign?

Hell is still overburdened,

I must stand and wait in line...

Hell is still overburdened,

How have I been so determined malign...?"

Don't mind Neptune, she's singing a sad song whilst stuck in Alcatraz prison. She's officially depressed.

"Kane, your conquest of Planeptune was a success. The new Temple Prime is under construction as par your Grand Gesture."

"Good, my child. Armstrong believes that we launched this strike for his benefit, but it merely is but a stepping stone for our true motives."

"You called for me?"

"Yes, I did. How goes your operations in America?"

"Armstrong believes that I am assisting in his goals. He's positioned as the President exactly as you had envisioned. But of course, little does he know that we are more implanted within his government than he realizes."

"And Neptune?"

"Still imprisoned on Alcatraz."

"Good. Now it's time to execute phase 3 of my plan."

"Gather your forces. You are to make a move on one of the three remaining nations of Gamindustri, and enact your vengeance."

"With absolute pleasure~"

[divineverse]

"Reporting Live from Gamindustri News, I'm Famitsu!"

"Today, I am joined by the recently elected President of the United States of America; Steven Armstrong. Thank you for joining me today, Mr. President."

"Well it's my pleasure, Famitsu."

"Tell me, what are your plans for Gamindustri? Ever since we appeared in your world, fears are about that you'll exert your might upon us."

"That is quite slanderous! We are a proud people, and we put our lives on the line to protect those who only seek peace. In fact, I already have an agreement in place with... Lastation, was it? To exchange minerals."

"Rest assured that as long as peace is the primary goal of coexistence, then no action needs to be taken."

"You heard it here first, folks. In other news, Europe has declared the Dogoo to be a national treasure and must be protected. This is Famitsu from Gamindustri News, signing out."

[divineverse]

Location: Planeptune

An hour after the first Siege of the Nation...

"The Cities of Nod shall RISE."

Within the depths of Planeptune, a Brotherhood of Nod walking behemoth moved to the central plaza, a massive open ground. Then it began shapeshifting, morphing into a central structure:

A Brotherhood of Nod Construction Yard, which began deploying several structures at once, starting off with Power Plants:

A Hand of Nod:

A strange depot which occasionally released vehicles:

And the site slowly began to be surrounded by various different turret types:

Before finishing off with strange spiked towers:

Once these three spiked towers finished up, the rest of the base that was constructed would then turn completely invisible! Leaving only these Disruption Towers visible, coated in a layer of laser shielding for protection.

It's effectively made clear that the Brotherhood of Nod has just established their Forward Operating Base in Gamindustri, using the slowly ruined remains of Planeptune as a cover to amass their army.

[divineverse]

Location: Planeptune

Life was going on normally within the continent of Gamindustri, until everyone's televisions were forced into the news channel for a Breaking News Bulletin!

BGM: BBC News Theme

"We're live with Gamindustri News, I'm Famitsu!"

"And I'm Dangekiko, reporting in!"

"We're interrupting your regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you an urgent update, as just moments ago, an unknown group of armed soldiers assaulted Planeptune today."

"We go live to the scene to learn more."

The broadcast would then change over to a Planeptune being engulfed in flames, surrounded by forces of unknown origins:

They were hard at work obliterating the defenceless Planeptune Military, and while there were no CPU's in sight. Neither Purple Heart or Purple Sister were on the scene fending them off.

"As you can see, these strange troops emerged out of nowhere and have been laying siege to the nation, destroying property and creating countless civilian casualties."

"Which begs the question, where are the---"

Before Dengekiko could finish, the feed was suddenly cut out as a new transmission came in.

There, a man was stood in a temple of sorts, looking directly at the camera.

"Rejoice, Children of Nod. Your saviours have arrived. While my forces can act out of touch, do know that it is for the greater good of your Gamindustri. Join us. Surrender yourselves to my Brotherhood, and you will find protection and safety in our hands, not that of those girls playing God."

"They believe that this is all just a game. And that you are all just data in a Disc. We are here to prove them wrong, that the stakes are very much real, that the true threats are themselves. And soon. Victory will very much be ours, as this is just a Grand Gesture of our hospitality. My forces will carve their will into the very hearts of those Console Patron Units which will become a great congrigation!"

"Peace. Through. Power."

The feed then cut back to the two reporters, who were stunlocked.

"A-And there we have it... Where are the CPUs of the other nations? What can we do against this 'Brotherhood of Nod?' Who will save us?"

[divineverse]

Basic Information

Name: Shenron

Franchise/Series: Canon/OC (Dragon Ball)

Appearance Claim: Dan Heng (Imbibitor Lunae) - Honkai: Star Rail

Personality: 

Shenron is a neutral being, possessing no clear biases. Thus, he's generally quite passive to those he encounters or is summoned by. However, whilst he is kind at heart; repeated misuse or frivolous wishes can cause him to be impatient or outright angry. If regulars are approaching Shenron for wishes, he does show bias to them by granting them all three wishes, or two if they desire something of greater power. Otherwise, new comers and infrequent users of the Balls are only granted one wish.

Like before, he has high regard of divine beings; sometimes even being afraid of them in the case of Beerus the Destroyer; often preferring to leave very quickly as politely as possible.

Due to the nature of his creation and over time, he had grown fondness of Namekians, referring to Piccolo as Lord despite no longer being life linked to him or Kami.

Backstory 

One day on Earth, Beerus's Faithful Angel Attendant; Whis, treated the Eternal Dragon, Shenron to a feast using exotic food created by the planet's inhabitants with the assistance of Bulma and Chi-Chi. The Dragon had trouble consuming the dishes provided, even with the assistance of Whis's powers. The topic was then brought up of his severe limitations.

"Doomed to only grant wishes, with no free will and ability to explore life outside of my divine role."

"I see. So you desire the ability to become humanoid in order to feel more free."

"Indeed, Lord Whis. I simply desire a physical form. However, due to my binding rules and contract, I cannot grant this wish as it is higher than my own power."

"I believe I can fix that for you, as I am in quite a generous mood! Eternal Dragon, I will grant you your desire. I wish for you to obtain a physical form for you to switch between at will."

"Your wish is granted."

With a twist of fate, and divine intervention; the Eternal Dragon was now capable of walking the Earth and beyond, literally, whilst still obeying the profession handed to him. But now, with his new freedom, he seeked to learn more about life outside of those whome had used the Dragon Balls frequently, as well as across the multiverse.

Relic Name: Gehaburn

Classification: A-Rank (Severe Threat, Sacrificial Blade) Type: Cursed Greatsword

Description:

Gehaburn is a cursed sword that demands sacrifice. It doesn’t activate through Ki, divine channels, or synchronization. It awakens only through death, specifically, the offering of a powerful life. The more it’s fed, the stronger it becomes. Its ideal fuel is godlike power, like the CPUs.

The blade has no formal limit. With each sacrifice, its edge grows sharper, its presence heavier. In its prime state, it can tear through high-tier defenses, corrupt energy constructs, and erase divine signatures entirely. It’s not designed for prolonged battles. It’s a weapon meant to end things; fast, brutally, and at a cost.

Effects & Properties:

Growth by Sacrifice – The sword becomes stronger with each offering. A single divine-class life can awaken it. Multiple can push it into catastrophic threat range.

Absolute Severance – At full power, it cuts through more than flesh. Energy barriers, sacred wards, Ki defense layers - none of them hold.

Cursed Echo – The blade carries the will of those sacrificed to it. Every swing draws from their residual strength and rage.

Notable Uses:

Known to kill beings well above its wielder’s level when fully awakened.

Has been used to slay corrupted godforms, even when conventional relics failed.

Shards from the broken blade have powered relics and rituals with lingering potency.

Containment & Handling:

Cannot be wielded passively. To activate its true form, it requires the death of a divine-tier being. Without this, it behaves like an inert weapon.

Volatile History – The sword has caused multiple breakdowns in reality due to its sacrificial requirements and backlash from its echoes.

Fragment Power – Even when shattered, fragments retain deadly energy. Improper handling has led to timeline splits, soul dislocation, and irreversible paradox events.

Current Status:

The blade got shattered after its last wielder used it on themselves. What’s left are fragments - still dangerous, still holding a piece of its weight. Some got turned into power sources for time travel. Others vanished.

If anyone manages to put it back together, it won’t just be an A-Rank relic anymore. It’ll be a problem.

Location: Alcatraz Island Prison

Several Hours Later after Neptune's Defeat to President Armstrong...

It was a bad day for the Console Patron Unit of Planeptune, as after her embarrassing and crushing defeat at the hands of Armstrong, she was dragged off and dumped at one of the most infamous American Prisons; Alcatraz.

All the various Criminals that were locked up there whistled and smirked at her whilst she was dragged to her holding cell.

"Heh. Have fun in here, little girly. This Cell is special."

"..."

"Not talking, huh? Fine. Suit yourself."

The two Soldiers roughly chucked her onto the ground, before locking the Cell and walking off. A faint laughter then came out from a corner as Neptune slumpily climbed onto a wooden bench.

"Hahahahahaha! They seriously lock a little girl in with me?! Christmas already came and went, boys!"

"It's not that funny, buster.."

"Oh come on now I was just Joking! Come on, let me get a good look at you!"

"Aren't you a little young to be commiting crimes? Oh the folly of youth, and I didn't get given any candy!"

"I'm not a Criminal! I'm a Goddess!"

"I'm only in here because I lost to that big bad whose running this place! Broke me with that device thing slapped onto my neck..."

The laughing individual wandered over and took a look and sure enough, there was a Red pulsing X device on her neck, siphoning her Share Energy. Without any effort whatsoever, the man pulled it off, making her groan a little in the process.

"Hahahahahaha! Well, you won't be needing this little trinket anymore! Not while you're stuck in here with us! Oh happy happy days, let's all sing a song! Tis the season to be jolly! Only, not quite so Jolly for the good little girl, hmm?"

"Why don't we work together, hmm? You have a friend in here now~"

"Who even are you anyway?"

"Oh I have so many titles it's hard to keep track of them all! Ahahahahaha! Clown Prince of Crime, maniac, freak, John Doe, who knows who I really am!"

"But you, my dear? Can call me The Joker. We are going to go very far, partner~"

[divineverse]

Location: Super Dimension's Lastation

Thanks to Croire's intervention, a currently manipulated Nepgear has arrived with Gehaburn in hand, moving to the Basilicom. The various citizens stared in fear as the Corrupted CPU Candidate wandered through until Noire arrived.

BGM: Megadimension Neptunia VII - Insecure Feeling

"...Neptune?"

"..."

Gripping the Gehaburn's hilt tightly, she didn't hesitate to swing at Noire who just barely dodged the strike. It seemed that the time for words had passed. However, the unexpected had occurred. As Noire was bracing to transform, Nepgear swooped forward and cancelled it, stabbing Noire clean through the chest and impaling her on the blade; prompting blood to escape her body.

"Gaaaack! N-N-Nep---"

"---tune..."

Gehaburn got to work, and began absorbing Noire's share energy, which also began to slowly evaporate her from existence; blood still trailing down from the open wound onto the sword.

"Hehehehehe... One down."

[divineverse]

Location: Planeptower Outskirts

Several Hours after Nepgear's Collapse

BGM: Dragon Quest XI [Symphonic] - Corridors of Darkness

After being helped to her feet first by Hideyoshi ( @strykingback ) then again by Venix ( @xanican-exile ), Nepgear slowly slumped herself back to Planeptower to assess the situation. However, on her way back there, she found a darkness inside her talking to her.

You didn't follow your sister.

You let her go alone...

You. Le t . H e r . D i e . . .

B e t r a y e r . . .

"I didn't abandon her... I didn't..."

"I..."

F O O L I S H G I R L .

You watched her go . . .

Y o u c o u l d o f s a v e d h e r . . .

B u t i n s t e a d y o u s t a y e d b e h i n d . . .

Because of you... she's dead.

Your sister perished because you a b a n d o n e d h e r . . .

"Neptune... No..."

And now. She's d e a d .

And it's all. Your. F a u l t . . .

But you can fix it. . .

U s e . . . T h i s . . .

Then a faint, dark glimmer formed in front of her. A sword all too familiar to her...

Use it. Nepgear. I call to you. Brandish me. Gather Power. And slay the killer of your sister.

"..."

"Must. Kill. Friends... Fuel. Gehaburn... Avenge... Neptune..."

[divineverse]

Location: The White House

Several Hours Later . . .

It was a long flight from Planeptune to Washington DC, but Neptune finally made it to the White House. There, President Armstrong was waiting for her with open arms.

"There you are! Welcome to America, Neptune. I hope that our government was to your liking."

"It's alright, I suppose! Now, where's the pudding?"

"Heh. Right this way."

Armstrong lead her inside, towards one of the back rooms of the structure, before shutting the door behind him and locking it, turning to face her.

"Sorry, not sorry. But you are not going to be going anywhere. See, I see value in your little home, and I want it. So, only way to properly secure it is to eliminate it's most powerful Guardian. You."

"Well, I don't plan on giving up without a fight!"

As Neptune began her transformation process, Armstrong had a trick up his sleeve.

Grabbing out the Anti-Crystal, he spared no expense in throwing it right at Neptune, implanting it right onto her chest! This ended up triggering it's siphon function and immediately booted her out of the transformation!

"Hey, what gives?!"

"Don't you recognize it, Neptune? Hah! Can't fret too much over it but your powers are now useless!"

Armstrong outstretched his arms and a loud crunching noise came out, as he flexed his Nanomachine's in such a way to reveal that he was no ordinary human.

BGM: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Collective Consciousness

"Let's go."

The Unenlightened Masses

They cannot make the Judgement Call

Give up free will forever

Their voices won't be heard at all!

Armstrong bullrushed Neptune with quick speed, not even giving her a chance to react by delivering a powerful gut punch!

Ping ponging around the room, making mini Neptune indents. She was at this moment in time powerless to stop Armstrong's strikes as he slammed his shoe onto her head.

Display Obedience

While never stepping out of line

And blindly swear alliegance

Let your country control your mind!

A few heavy stomps to her head and then grabbed by the neck, Armstrong looked her dead in the eyes.

"For someone claimed to be so powerful, a Protagonist, you certainly lack the strength. An overreliance on your powers."

"FORE!"

Letting go of her for a split moment, he followed it up with a kick to the central solar plexus, sending her flying into another wall, indenting her into it as he slowly walked forward.

Live in ignorance

And purchase your happiness

When blood and sweat is the real cost

Thinking ceases, the truth is lost!

Don't you worry, you'll be told exactly what to do

I give my people the lives they need

The righteous will succeed.

"When... they find out about this... We will retaliate... Gack!"

"Oh don't worry about them. I'm making the mother of all omelettes here! Can't fret over every egg! As we speak, my forces are already preparing their assault on your precious Planeptune."

"So you just sleep real tight, whilst my men drag you off to your Cell. I have plans for you. America has use of your powers, after all. That thing on your chest will grant it."

"Not... like... this... I won't let you... win!!"

BGM: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - It Has To Be This Way

With a final, desperate attempt to make any sort of dent into Armstrong, Neptune charged forward and began a rapid fire barrage of slices with her blade!

Standing here.

I realize

You are just like me

Trying to make History

But whose to judge?

The right from wrong?

When our guard is down...

I think we'll both agree!

That violence breeds violence!

But in the end it has to be this way!

But no matter how many times Neptune unleashed her Cross Combinations, Armstrong wasn't budging; his Nanomachines forming through his shirt in order to absorb the strikes. Eventually, her speed lowered, and lowered, and lowered, until she looked like a child weakly smacking their fists against their father.

"You finished, Nep?"

No response. Just gasping breath. Standing there, realizing that she is no match without her Hard Drive Divinity.

"Thought so. Don't fuck with this President!"

With one final move, Armstrong booted her face, sending her flying into the wall, and knocking her out.

As he finished her, two American Soldiers walked into the room on cue.

"Take her to Alcatraz."

"Yes sir."

The two Soldiers then roughly grabbed Neptune, a shoulder each, and began to drag her away...
