Last time on Hyperdimension Overclocked F, Andrew and his team went to the Katticus ice caves and got the second Fury. Only 98 left to go, right?

After eating the meal, Andrew explains the situation to Neptune in the greatest detail he can explain to her in his beast form. Neptune nods, "So, you all are gathering these sword things called furies which will awaken the goddess of this dimension?"

Andrew nods, "Yep, that's the jest of it. I know this is kind of ridiculous but that's how it works here."

Tiara mentions, "So, Andy says that you are a goddess, you don't look like much to me."

Neptune replies, "I am a goddess! I'll prove it!" She tries transforming but can't, "What's the big deal?! Why aren't I Nepping up?"

Tiara scoffs, "Just as I suspected, you are nothing but a poser."

Andrew shouts, "She is a freaking goddess! She just…" He tries thinking of a solution until finally finding one, "She doesn't have share energy here!"

Fang asks, "What's that?"

Andrew replies, "It's energy that goddesses need to get stronger, the more her people believe in her, the bigger her sharicite becomes and that's what powers her up. Without it, she's just as strong as her human form can be."

Tiara says, "That might mean she can't help us much."

Andrew shouts, "Neptune's my friend and if you say one more thing about her, I won't hesitate to claw your freaking eyes out with my beast claws!"

Tiara huffs with pleasure, "Oh my… maybe you should try it…"

Andrew groans, "Man, you're a freak."

Neptune asks, "What's the deal with your personality? It's all…"

Andrew finishes her sentence, "Repulsive? Well, that's how this form is, I guess. Just like my GPU form acts, this one acts differently as well. Meaning that you could piss me off if you tried."

Neptune smiles, "Really?"

Andrew says, "Don't even attempt to do that, I really don't want to hate you."

Neptune laughs, "Don't be silly, Andy! There's no way you could possibly hate me!"

Andrew growls, "It's starting…"

Fang says, "Maybe you shouldn't piss him off. Who knows what he could do if you get him to attack you."

Neptune asks, "So… how did you become this in the first place?"

Andrew says, "That stupid viral god, Stuxnet did this to me! Who knows where he is now."

Neptune then asks, "Then what are you doing helping them when your main goal is to find Stuxnet?"

Andrew grunts as he really didn't think about that and says, "I have no freaking clue, but I can't really step out of it now. Might as well help them out in the meantime."

Eryn sighs from tiredness, "Well, I think we should get some sleep and get the next fury in the morning."

Neptune asks, "Oh yeah, how many of these things are we supposed to collect?"

Andrew sighs, "One hundred. We only got two."

Neptune exclaims, "Holy smokes! That's hardly any! You're never going to get them all in time!"

Andrew yawns, "Let's talk about fury gathering in the morning. I want to get out of this form as quick as possible."

With that, the others begin turning in for bed, the innkeeper mentions, "By the way, we are kind of on a shortage of rooms right now, so I'm not sure if your purple haired friend can sleep in tonight."

Neptune replies with a smile, "That's fine! I can share a room with Andy!"

Andrew blinks and then says, "Say, what?"

Neptune turn towards Andrew, "Why not? We are buddies for life so it should be no problem."

Andrew turns towards the group and Eryn replies, "I actually share a room with Fang so it's not that weird to share a room with her, Andy."

Andrew looks at himself, "But, the way I am now. How are we going to fit?"

Neptune pushes Andrew along, "We can figure that out when we see the room! Let's compromise together!"

Andrew asks looking back at her as she pushes him, "Compromise?"

Neptune nods, "Yeah! Convince me if you deserve sleeping on the bed."

Andrew roars outloud, "Say what?! You sleep on the floor! I worked my tail off in this dimension! I deserve the bed!"

Neptune says, "Wait until we get in the room, Andy!"

Andrew says in his mind, "How the hell is she even pushing me? She's really freaking strong in her base form."

At the room that they reserved, just as he thought… one bed. Neptune shouts, "I call the bed!" She jumps on top of the bed.

Andrew growls, "I said I want the freaking bed! I'm not letting you have your way this time! You have to earn it just like I did!"

Neptune is already asleep as she lets out a yawn and snoozes away.

Andrew growls some more, "I'm not having this! Grr…!" He crosses his arms and taps his foot, "You better get up or I won't hesitate to… grah!" He holds his head in anger.

Neptune is fast asleep and still doesn't hear Andrew, "Zzz…"

Andrew huffs, "Hmph!" He looks at Neptune sleeping and then sighs, "She does look cute when she's sleeping. Sigh…" He gets on the floor and curls himself up like a cat and sleeps like that, "This is so humiliating…" He slowly drifts off to sleep.

The next day, Neptune shouts out, "Andy! Wake up, it's morning!"

Andrew sighs, "Ugh… thank god! I hated sleeping on the floor. Never again, ok?" He gets up and stretches, popping his back. He looks at himself, "Yep, I'm normal again."

Neptune smiles, "Yep! Back to your normal Andy self."

Andrew asks, "Please don't make me sleep on the floor again. Can we compromise a bit harder?"

Neptune laughs, "We'll see! Let's see if our pals are up!"

Andrew nods, "Sounds good."

They head to the lobby inn and the others were waiting for them.

Fang sighs, "It's about time you two woke up."

Andrew replies, "You could have woken us up earlier."

Eryn then says, "Well, it doesn't matter anyway 'cause Bahus is making food right now."

Andrew then gasps, "I'm missing out on the important lessons of cooking! Where is he? I must learn!"

Neptune chuckles at Andrew's reaction, "Wow, why does cooking get you this worked up? Isn't gaming your hobby like it is mine?"

Andrew replies, "Well… maybe I want to impress someone like…"

Neptune smiles, "Daaaw, you want to impress me? You're so sweet, Andy."

Andrew sweatdrops and mutters, "At least you knew who I was referring to."

Harley points to where Bahus is, "He's in the inn kitchen."

Andrew says, "Huh, it's weird that he's making food when there are employees working here that would do it for us."

Harley nods, "Yeah, but he loves cooking so…"

Andrew shrugs, "Can't see nothing wrong there. I'm surprised that they let him do it."

Eryn clears her throat, "Anyway, now is the perfect time to discuss how we are going to gather more furies. Because Andrew is right about one thing, we only got two. We need to figure out how we are going to gather all one hundred and revive the goddess."

They all become quiet to think of something to speed this up, except for Neptune, who is thinking about the food. Even Fang is thinking about it, possibly because he wants to speed this up so he can get this done quicker. Andrew suggests, "How about we split up. We could make teams to get different furies at once."

Eryn looks at Andrew for a bit taking in his idea.

Andrew sweatdrops, "What's wrong? Is what I said a bad idea?"

Eryn shakes her head, "It's actually a good idea. We'll make the teams after breakfast."

Tiara suggests, "Making teams is fine, as long as I'm still with Andy. He knows how to get things done."

Andrew sweatdrops, "OK, but only if you don't insult Neptune anymore."

Xelor says, "Yes, leave that to me."

Andrew looks down at Xelor, "Oh yeah, you actually talk when I'm normal."

Harley says, "Your watch can talk?"

Andrew nods, "Yep. And he loves to insult Neptune and tell her how much of a bad goddess she is. But, you won't do that, right?"

Xelor beeps, "Only if she does a lackluster job."

Andrew chuckles, "Since when does she do that?" He looks at Neptune who is drooling on the table, "H-hey! Please don't drool on the table, the employees will have more work to do."

Neptune says while groaning, "Food… I need it…"

Fang's eyes widens, "She likes food even more than me… I think she's my kind of goddess."

Andrew chuckles, "Heh heh… yeah. I knew you would say something like that." Andrew moves closer towards Neptune, "Hey, you can wait a bit more. It's not going to take that long. You can wait it out, right?"

Neptune turns towards Andrew, "It's hard to do that when that delicious aroma is lingering the inn! My mouth can't stop drooling!"

Andrew sweatdrops, "J-just not on the tables, ok?"

Neptune then goes towards Andrew, "Then should I drool on you? It's not going to stop until the food is ready."

Andrew sweatdrops some more trying to decide, "Um… sure. I would most like if you didn't drool at all."

Neptune leans on Andrew and continues drooling on him, "You're the best, Andy. I get away with most things with you around."

Andrew shutters feeling the drool on him, "N-no problem…"

Xelor sighs, "You are spoiling Neptune a lot. I think even more so than Nepgear."

Andrew chuckles a bit, "Oh, really? Well… I don't mind that much; I am a very tolerant person."

Fang then says, "OK… now I don't think she's a very good goddess anymore."

Andrew looks at Fang surprised by his statement, "Why do you think that?"

Fang replies, "That jacket you have on looks nice and seeing her drool on it slowly pisses me off."

Andrew seeing Fang's jacket makes him know that he kind of cares about cool looking jackets, "Oh, huh, I guess that's kind of true."

Bahus suddenly returns with the food, "Here you all are! Please enjoy to your hearts content!"

Neptune stops leaning and exclaims happily, "Suh-weet! You're amazing, Bahus!"

Bahus smiles at Neptune's complement and gives a hearty laugh, "Glad you are impressed! Enjoy!"

They begin eating, a while later… Neptune sighs contently, "Fwah! I don't know how you do it, but it's very delicious!"

Bahus laughs, "If only Harley complements me that much…"

Harley ignores that and says, "So… are we making the teams now?"

Eryn nods, "Yep, so Andy… how do you want our teams to be?"

Andrew is a bit shocked, "Huh? Why do you turn to me?"

Fang replies, "Because you came up with the idea and to be honest, I don't give a shit about strategy making. You can be the leader for all I care. I'm just here for the ride."

Eryn scolds Fang, "He's just helping! This is mainly our quest and don't you go dumping it on him! Now, I could happily give it to him and let you do whatever you want if you want to continue being lazy!"

Fang growls, "Fine…"

Andrew sweatdrops, "Ok… Well, depending on how many furies we can get at once is how many teams we are going to have. Let's ask Lola about the furies she knows about."

Eryn asks, "You're going to pay, right?"

Andrew nods, "Yes… I do have gold now so… yes, I will."

They head outside and searches the town for Lola. And as usual, she's right where they always meet her.

Lola sees them and exclaims happily, "Welcome! My most valuable customers! What would you like to know today?"

Neptune laughs hearing her voice, "She sounds like a younger Compa!"

Andrew tries shushing her, "Yes… I know." Whispering to Neptune, he then replies to Lola, "Alright. Do you have locations to multiple furies? We would be glad to pay as much as it takes."

Lola gives the group a smile saying, "There is two I can give you now. One is cheaper than the other and the other is a bit more expensive and more dangerous."

Fang asks, "What kind of sense does that make? The more expensive is more dangerous?"

Andrew shrugs, "Maybe there's a reason for that. Anyway, I'll take those, thanks." He pays Lola the gold.

Lola beams, "Ah, the sweet sound of gold plinking! The locations are Yatatan Lava Flows and Kidanar. I'll warn you about Kidanar, the Fury has been taken by members of Dorfa."

Andrew and Neptune look at her confusingly, "What the heck is Dorfa?"

Eryn nods, "Yeah, we expect you to say that. They are an organization of Fencers that are trying to revive the Vile God."

Andrew nods, "Ah… so our enemies."

Neptune shouts, "I call going there! How about it, Andy?"

Andrew sweatdrops, "We… don't know what we are up against so it could be something bad."

Fang shrugs, "I guess we can go to Yatatan Lava Flows of that's ok with you."

Eryn looks at Fang, "Giving them the more dangerous fury? Need I to remind you that it's your job to collect the furies? And Dorfa are more after you than them anyway."

Fang nods, "And that's why they are perfect to go. They aren't fencers and that means that they won't know that they are threats."

Andrew thinks about it, "Huh, maybe Fang is on to something. I'm kind of curious what these Dorfa are all about."

Neptune beams, "Yeah! Andy isn't afraid of them and neither am I!"

Harley says, "We'll go with Fang and Eryn. You two have the honor of meeting the Dorfa organization."

Neptune mentions, "You haven't even met them yet, have you?"

Fang shrugs, "More or less, we are only heard about them."

Andrew shrugs, "Well, maybe they aren't that bad, and if they are…" Andrew transforms into his GPU form, "Please, I have dealt with bigger threats than them."

Eryn says, "That kind of talk will get you killed, Andy."

Andrew ignores her, "Let's go to Kidanar and defeat these guys and take what's rightfully ours!"

Neptune tries transforming, "Shoot! I still can't transform here!"

Andrew looks at her saying, "Well… that sucks. Share energy isn't a thing to find here anyway."

Neptune then says, "Well, you should carry me there now that you're suited up."

Andrew without any complaints carries Neptune bridal style, "Ok." He looks at Tiara, "So, are you going with Fang, Tiara?"

Tiara nods saying, "Are you crazy? There's no way I'll be anywhere near that organization. But, I wish you both good luck. And… don't die, my servant."

Andrew sighs, "Thanks, Tiara. Really helpful there." He goes towards a direction, "Well… Here we go!" He then runs off to Kidanar while carrying Neptune in his arms..

Eryn then looks at Fang, "So, we're going to the Yatatan Lava Flows?"

Fang nods, "Yep!" He thinks to himself, "Wow, having Andy to do the hard ones is actually a great idea!"

Eryn groans as if she can hear Fang's thoughts, "Let's go…"

We will follow mostly on Andrew and Neptune's travels because it's where the plot is. The others is easy to understand what might happen, unless… well, let's see anyway.

As they arrive Kidanar, they noticed something odd, Andrew points it out, "Wow… completely deserted."
Neptune then shouts out, "Dorfa is probably slacking! Let's get the fury and be the first to finish!"

Andrew shakes his head, "That's not all. As deserted, I meant there's no people, but if you take a look over there." He points towards the village swarmed with insects, "Not to be sounding morbid or anything, but I think these things are responsible for those." He then points to undead creatures. "Wow, something you really don't see all too much in the Hyperdimension, huh?"

Neptune then says, "So, what you're saying is that all the villagers died to those insects and now they have risen up as zombies?"

Andrew shrugs, "Well, that's what I'm gathering from scanning them. Unless you got a better assumption to what happened here."

Neptune shakes her head, "Nope! Yours is really accurate to me, almost sounds like something from a movie."

Andrew laughs, "Clichéd as well, let's get over there and find the fury." The two slides down to where they're at and gets closer to the village. "Where's the Dorfa corporation at? They would have to be here if there's a fury, right?"

They continuing travelling looking for any signs of the fury, the insects taking a notice of the two and swarms of them goes right at them, "Well, time to Nep these bugs up! You got your insect repellent ready, Andy?" Neptune says as she summons her weapon.

Andrew charges his armcannon, "You know it, Neptune!"

The two begin fighting the insects and now the zombies as they now want a piece of them, Andrew jumps up and blast a group from below and Neptune slashes the insects making a kabob out of them.

A nearby member of Dorfa notices them and informs one of the heavenly king of Dorfa that's currently scouting the area, "Paiga, there's two individuals out there not in relations with us. They seem to be Fencers as well."

As the Dorfa group look at Andrew and Neptune fighting, Paiga looks at them as well not liking what he's seeing, "This is going to cause some problems with our plans. Might as well take them out before they interfere with our plans." They move out.

As the two wipe out the monsters, they sigh as they finish them up, "Phew! That was quite a workout! What about you, Andy?" Neptune says as she wipes sweat from her brow.

Andrew transforms back to normal panting, "Yep… tiresome. Maybe we can find the fury before-"

Just as he was about to say something, they are suddenly surrounded by a group of fencers ready to battle with their weapons. The two look around them and then they see Paiga approaching them.

Paiga introduces himself, "Greetings, fencers. I'm one of the heavenly kings of Dorfa, Paiga. I advise you to give me the furies you have and you can leave here unscathed."

Andrew looks around and sees that him and Neptune is outnumbered and surrounded by these fencers of Dorfa. Neptune tries to trick him, "No! You got it all wrong! We aren't after the furies! We just wanted to grind for experience! I'm a goddess, we are practically born for grinding!"

Paiga chuckles, "You, a goddess? Yeah, I've been fooled before but that by far is the most ridiculous things that I ever heard and someone like me won't be fooled by that."

Andrew says, "Well, we don't even have furies. I can't even use them, I'm not a fencer."

Paiga says, "You're not a fencer? Well, judging by what I just saw… that's a lie. You two are fencers and you better give us the furies you have right now."

Neptune sighs, "He doesn't believe us, Andy! What should we do?"

Andrew looks around and says, "Well, we better fight our way out of this."

Paiga says, "Get them!"

The surrounding fencers bring out their weapons and ready them at Andrew and Neptune. Neptune summons her weapon, "Let's Nep these guys up! This is what they get for doubting us."

Andrew taps his watch and then says with a sweatdrop, "My power is drained…err… I can't fight right now."

Neptune groans, "Are you serious? A circumstantial inconvenience like that is so clichéd!"

Andrew nods, "Somehow… I kind of expected this. Do you think you can take this many foes all by yourself, Neptune?"

Neptune looks around and says, "I dunno… I am very awesome but considering that this might be a boss fight, I'm not so sure."

Just as Paiga's men was about to attack them, something else happened instead, something covers up the sky and the men look up. Much to Paiga's dismay he says, "What's going on? What's that?"

Andrew knew what it was, "It's freaking Stuxnet… why now of all times?"

Neptune assumes, "Wow, he must know that we were screwed and came to help us."

Paiga says, "I'm not having something interrupt us, I'm not getting into trouble with Dorfa."

Andrew mentions, "Yeah, that guy up there… he's bad news. I think you should leave." He points up to the ship.

Paiga grunts and says, "I'm not leaving without accomplishing my goal."

Andrew begins grunting, "Argh… right. He's here… that means." He then transforms into his beast form. "Are you kidding me?! Even the appearance of this guy transforms me?! It's not even nighttime!"

Neptune cheers, "Yahoo! This is a stroke of luck! Now we can fight them off!" She raises an arm in the air.

Andrew gets ready into his battle position, "Right, I got a really awesome strategy! Let's tear them up!" He then roars.

As the Dorfa fencers close in at the two, Andrew jumps up 20 feet in the air carrying Neptune in his hands. "Go!" Andrew throws Neptune towards them as she launches an attack at them.

Neptune shouts, "Cross Combination!" She launches an attack at the fencers hitting three of them instead of the usual one due to Andrew's assistance.

Andrew charges a something from his mouth, something fiery, "Blazing Inferno!" He shoots a ring of fire around Neptune protecting her from the fencers and attacking them as well.

Neptune cheers jumping in the air, "Wahoo! That was a new one!"

Andrew lands near Neptune, "It sure was! Got any more men to mess up?"

Paiga was just stricken with fear as he sees his men go down so easily, "…" He just grunts.

Andrew messes with him, "What's that? I can't speak coward."

Paiga sweatdrops as he looks at Andrew's monstrous form, "W-what are you?"

Andrew shouts out, "I'm the GPU and she's the goddess of Planeptune! And don't you forget it, buddy!"

A silver haired girl with mouse ears giggles, "Are you going to fight them, Paiga? That's what fencers do."

Paiga grunts, "Be quiet! I'll…"

Andrew says, "Your fairy, I take it. Maybe you should fight us, it'll be so much fun taking the fury that way than to have you cowardly run away."

Paiga grunts, "I will fight you!" He readies his weapon.

Andrew reminds him, "Maybe you should reconsider that. I'm this and that's up there." He points to the ship floating above.

It begins lowering down, which gets Paiga very afraid, "Just what is that, exactly?"

Andrew begins shrugging, "No clue, only know that he is responsible for this." He points to himself, "I think I should try kicking his ass now that he's low enough and visible."

The ship begins lowering someone via a gravity pump aliens use to abduct things, Stuxnet appears once again, "Greetings lower lifeforms." He notices Andrew, "I've noticed that my experiment has settled in this world nicely."

Paiga asks, "What are you? What do you want?"

Stuxnet says, "Why to corrupt the world, of course. And what are you collecting? Furies, are they? Hmm… I wonder if that vile god would be of some use to me."

Paiga gasps, "Does that mean that you're stronger than the vile god?"

Stuxnet smiles, "That is debatable. I don't know of its power but judging by this world's primitive landscape, I believe I am."

Paiga then bows down, "Please let I and Dorfa follow you. Together, we can change the world."

Andrew groans, "Oh, shit."

Neptune gasps, "Is that what Stuxnet does? If I knew that, I would have followed you to that ship."

Stuxnet looks at Neptune, "Goddess of Planeptune, even if you have stepped forth at my ship, you wouldn't be able to stop me. I am beyond your comprehension."

Paiga asks again, "So? My paycheck would greatly improve if we can have you on board."

Stuxnet then says, "I suppose I can have a few followers of this world to corrupt it. What you guys do after my corruption is up to you."

Paiga laughs, "Yes! Now…" After he has a lot of confidence, he asks Andrew and Neptune without fear, "Hand over your furies!"

Stuxnet says, "They do not have them. We don't need them, anyway. I'll be sure to make sure you will go through your plan."

Andrew gasps, "You're freaking helping them?!"

Stuxnet laughs, "Why, of course, my belligerent experiment. Their goal is to awaken the vile god that has a similar goal to what I have in mind. Why not assist them and in return, they'll be my followers?"

Andrew growls, "You f*cking douchebag."

Stuxnet laughs, "Insult me all you want. You will never stop me. Let's go, my apprentice."

Paiga nods, "Yes, my lord."

The two heads in to the ship and they fly off. Andrew slowly transforms back, "Grr… that… ugh."

Neptune nods, "I know. But, hey! Look on the bright side, they didn't even get the fury. Why not we grab it?"

Andrew sighs, "It won't do any good. Stuxnet is closer to his goal than any of us. Who knows what he'll do to this world or ours."

Neptune shouts, "Don't go all emo on me just yet! I have your back and so does everyone else! Let's grab ourselves a fury and continue on our quest!"

Andrew nods but still feeling upset, "Ok."

They grab their fury and head back to the inn, they begin resting until the others show up with their fury in tow.

Eryn announces, "We got the fury. What about you two?"

Andrew nods and says sadly, "Got it, too."

Fang asks, "What's wrong? You would be excited if you got the fury, right?"

Andrew sighs, "Well…"

Andrew tells everyone what happened with him and Neptune. Everybody gasps.

Eryn shouts, "So Dorfa is now working with a bigger threat! The very same one that's sent you here and made you that monster?"

Andrew nods, "That's the gist of it."

Tiara says, "You can stop him, right?"

Andrew looks down sadly, "I don't know if I can. I don't even know the virus god's weakness, if he has one. How can I stop something like that?"

Harley says, "I don't know but you better think of something fast. That thing might strike now if he wants."

Andrew lays his head on the table, "I'm really stressed right now. We should take a break. I want to."

Eryn shouts, "A break?! We now are informed by this and you're taking a break?!"

Andrew says to Eryn, "I'm overwhelmed, ok? Can you at least grant me a bit to take this in and try to figure out a plan?"

Eryn nods, "Alright. That sounds reasonable. Let's all rest for now and continue later.

And the heroes rest. What might happen next time now that Stuxnet has joined the Dorfa corporation with armies of his henchmen and theirs? Find out next time!

Review Replies!

Magical-Death: Yep! Good ol' Nep Nep! I hope you liked what happened here. Andrew did a fiery thing with his form and some things happen. Andrew can be useful in battle because of his beast form and his GPU form.

Fateburn: Thanks!

That's all so happy reading and sorry this took a bit, I got sick… again and now I'm back for reals, hopefully.
