This has happened to me every time I've tried copy-pasting from either one of the vote tally programs or notepad for some reason since yesterday.
Aww, you ninja'd me. I was just about to mention him. ... And yeah, that was... honestly not a name for it really. More than sad, not actually traumatizing, not quite depressing (believe me, I know what depression feels like), to ...there to be melancholy... Lonely might fit if there was a word for inflicting it on others.

Hyperdimension Neptunia, and its following games, has multiple endings. One of the "Good" (she did defeat the big bad after all) endings to the remake of the 2nd game is the Conquest ending... its, well:
That. Spolers happen pretty quickly if I try to explain it.

... I saw that video in your post, and realized that ending actually is traumatizing. That fact alone is horrifying really.

I'm cursed with really good memory for these things.
...... I wonder if this started because I brought up Gahaburn.
Must. Stop. Crying. At. Conquest. Ending.

No, not yet. Expies are all MG or their equivalents. You'll know them when you see them because I'll drop a picture or something to indicate you just met someone important.
And omfg look what I found!!!
I have literally found no other weapon for Nepgear's M.B.P.L. at all that doesn't have something else in the picture with it.
If anyone finds a better one please let me know so I can update the character sheet.

You sit there for a time. Simply staring at the remains of your home as you chew over the older Magical Girl's question.
While the possible fame of going at it alone was nice... The thought of dying lost and alone against the Unified Darkness terrified you.
"I'll come with." Your answer has a note of finality to it as it's spoken. And you acknowledge that your previous life is now over. And with it, Goddess Gold sits up from her position and shoves her grinning face into your line of sight. You flinch at the sudden intrusion with a squeak.
"Good choice! And don't worry! We'll be the... best of friends."
Suddenly her grin seems a lot more vicious then it was a few moments ago. You're not sure if you should be unsettled by that or rethinking the choice. She doesn't give you much time to ponder if you screwed up or not.

"Here: keep ahold of this also. It's known as a Data Mine. And as far as you're concerned, it's your new best friend. It has a universal net-connection that'll let you connect to the Dim-Net damn near anywhere. I've already set it up to have you as a user, but you'll have to add a password yourself later once your settled in. You'll be able to look up topics on the Akashic Record on the fly as well as keep a ton of personal notes. Don't lose it!"
The small mechanical object is dropped atop of the pile of clothes and other items you are desperately trying not to drop as Rei Mitsubishi, also known to you as Golden Goddess, practically drags you through North America's central Counter Force base. It is wide open, with large areas between each building. You had a feeling that you would learn why the base was built this way later. Instead you were more focused on the piles of stuff Rei was dragging you around to collect for your future stay on the base.
"You'll be in barracks Ten with your squad. Each magical girl is given a team of five soldiers to help watch her back when out in the field. Training starts tomorrow at Four A.M. sharp, understood?" You don't even get a chance to respond before she knocks open a door and pushes you in. "Standard Uniform for Magical Girls when not transformed are the plug-suits I gave you back at the shop. If you're on duty, you wear those. Unless you get strong enough that no one feels like trying to argue with you, but that might be a while. So when you get up tomorrow, wash up quickly and put one on. Once you do that, you'll gather with your team right outside your Barracks where I'll pick you up and bring you to Power Studies. There we'll tinker around with your powers for a bit before moving on to training with your team."
She comes to a stop in front of an empty bunk, hidden away slightly into the wall of the bed area.
"Now. Originally the plan was for new Magical Girls to undergo complete military training, but that got vetoed by a lot of important big-wigs whose daughters are Magical Girls. Instead you'll be given a few weeks mandatory basic before being allowed into the field with heavy supervision. It'll be focused around initial physical conditioning, teamwork, and teaching you basic command structure. If you're going to be part of the Counter Force these three things are absolutely required. Despite the moaning and groaning of military commanders everywhere."
You nod jerkily as you place the pile of... stuff, that Rei had helped you gather onto the bunk. Alongside the Data Mine that she had given you, there were five 'plug-suits' that were better described as skin-tight full body leotards that adjusted automatically to your shape, a set of augmented-reality shades that you could hook to your Data Mine to use it hands-free, a base ID-Card that she had clipped to your hair, and left to dangle in full view of everyone that so much as glanced at you, along with a wide variety of other miscellaneous items. Some of which you failed to catch their purpose as they were tossed at you. "Umm... Rei... Ma'am?" You stutter as you release your load. "N-not to sound ungrateful o-or anything... but..."
You trail off, unsure how to continue. But you couldn't help but feel it was a valid question.
Right after you agreed to join the Counter Force, Rei told you her name - a secret many civilian throughout the Unified Light, and god knows how many individuals from the Unified Darkness, would literally murder and rape for - then promptly drug you almost by the hand back to the base from which she staged her heroics. From there she towed you around the selfsame base, collecting essentials -and possible essentials- as well as going through the trouble of planning out your first few days...
All in all, it was almost line she had claimed you as a...
"You're my pet."
Your thoughts come screeching to a dead halt at her declaration. And in the sudden silence she smiles viciously at you, almost like she was daring you to say otherwise.
"I-I... what?" Sadly, in your current state, you weren't capable of doing much of anything besides stuttering and gaping like a fish.
Rei turns away, crossing one arm beneath her breasts and using the free hand to point into the air. "Magical Girl Training is done by Apprenticeship. I haven't had any of my own for a while, and you impressed me by surviving alone against a Spawn of Mayhem as long as you did. So you're mine. And there's nothing you can do about it." She struts away towards the door, leaving you gaping like a fish after her.
"I really should have struck out alone."

Four hours later found you exploring the rather extensive storage space around your bed. Several hidden drawers that you quickly commandeered for your clothes, or what was left of them, along with a small tv that was connected to a video call function, and a small ledge where you put the only picture of you and your sister you had left.
From there you found the shared showers and washed off the dried blood that had been stuck with you ever since your roof killed your class. You manage to fight a 'uniform' on just before the door to the barracks opens and admits the five individuals into the dorm. The sudden entrance has you spinning around with a squeak, as you try to cover your self.
The stupid suit felt about as revealing as it got.
The soldiers - for they were obviously soldiers - stopped the same time you had spun around.
From left to right there were four men and a woman. With the woman in front, with the guys trailing behind her in what appeared to be oldest to youngest. Or at least that's what it looked like.
"Umm... hi?"
Your question is trailed, again, by silence for roughly a minute before the woman speaks.
"They forgot to tell you that your perfectly allowed to put something on over that, didn't they?"
Your resultant Blush is atomic.
-/LINE BREAK IDENTIFIED\-
You huddle dejectedly over your re-heated steak and bean soup in the cafeteria at dinner time. The soldiers that are apparently your team deign to allow you to wallow in your embarrassment in quiet solitude as they eat their own food.
The woman, her name Jessica Roberts, was -amazingly enough- the tallest of the group by a whole three centimeters. And being a whole 190 centimeters, she was a very tall woman, dwarfing your 167 with ease. She was slim, with no noticeable features. Her eyes were brown, and her hair was a dark blonde.
The eldest, and team leader, was her brother, James Roberts. At 187 he was the second tallest, with the same hair and eye color as his sister. The difference, was where she was slim, he was huge. His arms alone looked like he was probably able to pick you up and toss you across the room with little effort. But he was a surprisingly nice guy with a significant temper to match.
The third eldest, and third tallest, Samael Balier, was about as average as average could be. Average height, average hair color, average eye color... The outstanding aspect for him was that he was missing an eye. Complete with eye patch. When you began to form a question he answered with, "High School love potion incident. And that's all I'm going to say on the matter." You dropped it there.
Fourth Eldest, and shortest, was Michael Rodriguez, who had a seemingly stereotypical Mexican-origin name. He was also dark skinned and had a thing for milkshakes. And a bad habit of goading Jessica into cracking jokes that made no sense to you.
And last but not least, was the unfortunately named Richard Nixon. Apparently his father had a sick sense of humor. Made even worse because he was black haired and green eyed. This sadly caused him to look a lot like the deceased American president.
A short round of introductions had you learning each of their names and a few bits of information that was better left unsaid, while revealing that you were the brand new Magical Girl that had been tacked onto their team literally less than an hour ago and dropped, a bit confused, into their laps.
"Sorry for the need to babysit me."
The light conversation sputters out at your apology. The soldiers that you've barely just met blinking in surprise before turning to you with various expressions of curiosity. But your too lost in your thoughts of your sister to really register any of them.
"I know... I know that there are soldiers on the front lines right now dying, fighting against the Unified Darkness... and... you're all stuck here babysitting a barely awoken Magical Girl that doesn't even have a clue how her power are supposed to work. So... sorry."
You mope for a moment longer before Mike slaps your shoulder, catching your attention. "Don't worry about it kid. Not sure about these morons, but I'm kinda happy to be here. Especially if it means I get to look after one of you girls. I was saved by a Mahou Shoujo out on the front once, y'know?" You blink at the Japanese name for Magical Girl as Michael grins. "Never told any of you, but a few months ago, my platoon was pinned down by a bunch of Demons with those huge arbalests. Bastards were picking us off one at a time, and we were certain we were going to all die. But then, right out of nowhere a fucking energy wave blows a group of them to pieces. The chaos allowed us to break off and regroup enough to fallback. Learned a while later that her name was Magical Girl Judgement Core. Had this cannon twice her size, and packed a punch bigger than most tanks we have on the front. So, if getting recalled to Earth to babysit a newly minted MG, is needed, then I told them to sign me up. Keeping you alive long enough to get the experience that allows you to go out and save more shmucks like me? That's worth getting benched for."
Samael whistles at the sudden story. "Damn mate. I never got to get my but saved, but I did get a chance to see a few Magical Girls go at it. Personally got to see Red Rose go toe to toe with five Dark Magical Girls all at once. Seeing that? Now that was Epic."
"Nah ah! Pics or it didn't happen!"
"Don't believe me? Alright... here ya go." The man pulls out a Data Mine, bringing up pictures of the fight he witnessed...
And holy hell was it a fight. Blurs of movement barely captured by the digital camera built into the Data Mine clashed in the still. The ground looked to be disintegrated around them as they fought, with stones floating in the air to be sliced apart. You couldn't make out individual fighters from the chaotic mess... but you could tell from the looks on the soldiers faces that this was what a high-level Magical Girl fight looked like from their perspective.
"Holy shit. Just five? I swear I count at least six blurs here."
"Nah, one was an illusionist. The extra blur is her double."
"How did you get so close?"
"I was huddled in a fox hole and the fight migrated over to me. Survived because they were more focused on each other than possible soldiers ducking into the dirt to avoid getting splattered."
It was a truly impressive image. With the soldiers pointing out barely-there details, even your own untrained eye was able to make sense of at least some of what it was showing. Five against one, and Red Rose obviously dominated the fight.
A saying you heard once came to mind: the difference in strength at the top, mattered only to those at the top.
You had a long way to go if you were to make it to that level.

Well...It could be worse. For all that we are a 'pet', GG is our best best at staying alive, and she won't let us stay weak for long. This could very well be a good thing.
[X]Go to bed Early. It's an early start, and you'll need all the rest you can get.
The girls entire family just died. She's going to need to get as much sleep as she can, because I can guarantee, it won't be a peaceful one.

Your sister wasn't the MG that was brutalized then eaten. Your sister is significantly older than you, despite height differences, and died in the driveway of your home when the Spawn squashed everything around it upon summoning.

Wow... at least I don't think we saw the result of that gruesome scene.

I don't really care that we've become Rei's apprentice, as long as we become strong enough to wipe out those monsters from existence, after all they killed our sister, our friends, destroyed our life as we knew it and to top it all off, a seven year old girl had to die while trying to protect us.

Sadly, we need to watch out. Because if get consumed by the need for revenge, well... that way leads to the dark maho shojo path.

I agree. Preferably less on revenge and more on inner peace.
