They look for a place to make a base

The Candidates walked together down the abandoned streets, occasionally shooting any NPCs they saw. So far, they were all girls, and while most of the time, they were able to nail them in one shot, thanks to Uni, sometimes they would miss and hit a shirt, revealing the NPC's bra, which brought a slight blush to the girls' faces.

"This place seems pretty big." Nepgear noted.

"I can understand why the computer was so massive now." Uni said. The girls walked into an alleyway. As they stepped deeper in, suddenly Nepgear heard a noise, and turned to find an NPC girl running at her. In panic, she shot wildly at it, nailing its shirt and even its bra, before finally hitting its bare chest. She had a brief glance at the girl's breasts before the NPC finally vanished.

"Nepgear!" Uni said as she turned around. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it didn't get me." Nepgear said, her face red from seeing the NPC's breasts.

"Okay." Uni said. "What we should do is find a place to use as a base, something like-" Suddenly, arms wrapped around Uni's body from behind, and she shrieked as her dress began to vanish away. She flicked her head back, stunning the NPC before turning around and nailing it in the head. She stood there and watched as it faded away before realized that her own dress had faded away, leaving her in just her bra and panties (besides her sock, shoes, and gloves). She flipped around to see Ram laughing her ass off while both Rom and Nepgear tried to respectfully look away. Uni shrieked and covered herself, her face beet red.

"That's some cute underwear, Uni!" Ram said, pointing to Uni's simple pair of black bra and panties. Uni's face managed to turn an even brighter red.

"L-let's just keep going! Th-there's a building up ahead we can use!" Uni cried out. Ram continued to laugh, and Uni turned around. She used a hand to badly cover her ass, and kept walking. The others followed. Nepgear kept her eyes away, but when she was sure that Uni wasn't looking, she stole some glances. She looked at Uni's beautiful, pale, slender legs leading up to a nicely shaped bottom.

Of course, doing that, she was distracted, and didn't notice an NPC sneak up behind her and grab her in a similar way. She yelled and the others turned to see Nepgear whip around and shoot the NPC directly in the forehead. She caught her breath and heard laughter behind her. She turned to see Ram once again laughing, this time at her.

"Striped underwear! Isn't that what Neptune also wears?" Ram teased. Nepgear gave her a stink eye, and looked up to see Uni's gaze. That gaze was directed at her chest, which made her blush. But...it also felt nice. Either way, seeing Uni covering herself gave her an idea. She resisted the urge to hide herself, so that maybe Uni would feel better herself. And it seemed to work. When Uni could tell she wasn't covering herself, Nepgear could see her shoulders relax as a grateful smile adorned her face. Nepgear nodded and they continued into an abandoned building Uni led them to.

The building appeared to be an office building a couple floors tall. They walked into the lobby. The damage on the outside hadn't quite reached the inside, as chairs and pictures hung up looked tidy, and the receptionist's desk looked clean. Uni turned back around.

"O-okay. I'm gonna scope out the area on the roof, and maybe we can-" Uni started, but before she could finish, a figure lurched out of the shadows towards Rom and Ram. This one was a male, and had jumped a little too high, only able to grab onto the girls' hats before he was shot down. As he fell to the floor and vanished, the girls had two different reactions.

"Awww...I liked that hat..." Rom said.

"Does that mean I could shoot all his clothes off and see a guy naked?!" Ram said with a glitter in her eyes.

"Are you guys okay?" Nepgear asked.

"Perfectly fine. But now I'm super curious!" Ram said.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Rom answered with much less enthusiasm.

"W-well then..." Uni said, and cleared her throat. "It's good to know there are guys as well...even if that's a little more embarrassing...but like I was saying, I'm gonna go to the roof and scope out the area." Uni said, and walked up the stairs as fast as she could. Nepgear watched her hips swaying as she went, almost mesmerized, and shook her head.

Nepgear stayed down in the lobby with Rom and Ram for a bit, watching Ram console Rom about her hat. The three also took care of the occasional NPC that walked by or inside.

At one point, Ram made it her mission to strip a guy naked so she could see one.

Her opportunity came when one showed up and quickly blasted away the guy's pants and boxers, watches eagerly as they faded away until-

"What?!"

To Rom and Ram, it appeared as if the guy had a black box over his crotch: a basic censorship. Ram groaned. "No fair! I wanted to see it!"

Nepgear, on the other hand, was horrified to see what Ram had wanted to see: a guy's perfectly visible dick. Even worse, it was standing at full attention. The stiff shaft leading up to a bright pink head. Underneath hung two hairy sacks. Nepgear shrieked and shot the guy directly in the crotch, making him vanish.

"That's so uncool! How come the girls aren't censored but the guys are?!" Ram cried out. Nepgear quickly figured out that Vert had probably censored the dicks for Rom and Ram. But for her, she had seen everything, and the image was now stuck inside her head. She knew she wouldn't be able to get rid of that image for a long time.

More time passed, and eventually, Ram stood up and stomped her foot. "I'm bored just sitting here! We should be hunting them instead of waiting here for them to get us!" She yelled, and before Nepgear or Rom could stop her, she ran right out the door. A few seconds later, they heard her screech before a couple shots rang out. Ram stumbled back in, but her dress was now gone, leaving her in a white undershirt and matching white panties. She didn't seem to be wearing a bra.

"On second thought, I'll just stay here." Ram said as she walked over and sat down next to Rom, a frown on her face.

More time passed, and before long, Nepgear decided to go check on Uni.

"Watch the door, and yell if anyone comes, okay?" she asked, and the two nodded. Nepgear headed upstairs to the roof. Once she was there, she was about to call Uni's name when she saw her.

Uni was lying down on the roof in a sniper-like position, which gave Nepgear a very great view of Uni's clenched, panty-clad butt. Nepgear was stunned into silence for a minute, and eventually, Uni looked over her shoulder, and cried out as she leapt up.

"N-N-Nepgear?! What are you doing?!" she demanded.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare!" Nepgear said quickly, her face turning red again. Uni glared at her for a bit before turning away.

"Well, it's kind of okay if it's you..." she muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing!" Uni said. "What did you want?"

"I just wanted to check on you." Nepgear answered. The two looked at each other in silence, neither one knowing what to say.

"W-well, I-"

"I think your panties are cute." Nepgear blurted out. She froze as she saw Uni's eyes go wide. Nepgear quickly tried to recover. "I-I know Ram was making fun of it, but I think they're nice. Even if they're plain, that's fine. They don't need to be fancy," Nepgear stood and watched Uni's face, waiting anxiously for her reaction. Uni's face softened, and she finally spoke.

"I-I like yours, too..." she said. "Even if they match Neptune's, I don't think wanting to match your sister is bad. I'm pretty sure Noire wears these kind as well."

"Are you aware how weird that sounds?" Nepgear asked. Uni laughed, and Nepgear laughed as well. They both stood there, smiling at each other for a bit, before-

"AHHHHHH!!!"

Uni and Nepgear jumped as they heard a shout from below, and they both quickly rushed downstairs towards its source.
