A/N: Yo, vocaloidHM01 here. I never expected to update two days in a row. But just a warning, this won't happen all the time. In the last chapter's ending, Fang and Neptune were falling from Celestia, but now what's going to happen to them? I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter of Fairy Fencer Fang: Into Neptunia!
"..."
"..."
"Damn, two surprises in one day."
Fang looked up from where he was laying down, and noticed that he was in a bed. As he looked around, he also noticed he was in a girl's room. Beside him, was the girl he saved from earlier.
"At least she seems to be fine. But..."
Fang also noticed that said girl was clinging to him like her life depended on it.
"Let me go...whoever's room this is, they're not going to be happy to see this." Fang whispered.
"Oh, you're up. Good morning, sleepyhead!" A voice said.
Fang looked to his right and saw another girl around the corner of the room.
Her hair is a light creamy pink color that is somewhat long and curls along the edges worn with a black headband with a C patched on the side. Her eyes match her hair color.
She wears a tan-white wool styled tank top with big neck and un-attached sleeves and matching styled boots, but with small ribbons/fuzzy balls at the top. She also wears a red plaid skirt, a black choker with a small heart on it, black-brown kneesocks with light pink heart cut frills, and often carries a black hip purse, and heart shaped buttons. Like her headband, both her purse and the heart on the choker has a C logo.
"Well, good afternoon, technically..."
"Who are you?" Fang asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry! My name is Compa." Compa said with a smile.
"The name's Fang. Is this your room? If so, how in the hell did I end up here? I could've sworn I was falling from the sky not too long ago." Fang said.
"Well, let's see. It all happened last night. I was looking up into the sky and saw a shooting star. That happened to be you and the little girl over there." Compa said.
"What the hell? Are you on something? I don't recall becoming a shooting star and granting wishes." Fang said, placing his palm under his chin.
"I'm pretty sure. I followed you to the ground with my eyes and you slammed into the earth like a meteor.
Suddenly an alarm on the night stand next to the bed began to sound off, causing the girl next to the Fang to shift around, "Shuuuuuut… up! Oh, crackers. Did I break something? Where am I? My room…?"
As the preteen began to sit up, she slowly opened her eyes and let go of Fang's arm. She looked around the room, and then noticed the teenaged boy next to her.
"Hey, who are you? Is this your room? *Gasp* Are you one of those kind of guys who really likes the color pink?"
"If you're implying I'm gay, then you can forget it." Fang said with narrowed eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were so sensitive about people asking you about your room and if you liked pink."
"To answer your question, No this isn't my room. I'd be damned if it was. Second, who the hell are you? One minute you're fighting, the next minute you're a dirt sandwich." Fang said.
"Huh? What're you talking about?" Neptune asked with a confused expression.
"You don't remember? At the time you had bigger boobs and-"
"ALRIGHT! That's enough detail!" Eryn exclaimed in his head.
"Huh? Eryn? Where are you?" Fang asked.
"Fairy Link was still active while you were falling, So I'm still connected to your sword. But I heard some interesting information while you were out cold." Eryn said with a teasing voice.
"Wait-! First off, if you're a Fairy, then couldn't you have carried me and lightened the fall since you have wings?!" Fang exclaimed.
"Heh, heh...whoops. But even if I were to do that, the combined weight of you and that girl over there would've made me go down with you guys." Eryn said.
"Damn. Well how about it? What information did you get?" Fang asked.
"First, let me cancel Fairy Link for a second, I wanna be in my own body." Eryn said, her voice now gone from Fang's head.
A red ball of light left Fang's sword, which was lodged in the floor right next to him, and the ball of light grew brighter and brighter until it revealed itself to be Eryn.
"Hey." Eryn said.
"Yo." Fang said back.
Their conversation was interrupted when the girl next to Fang took the time to notice that she was sharing a bed with Fang, "Hey, what are you doing in bed here with me, anyway? I'm waitin' for an explanation, bub!"
"Can it! How the hell should I know?! For all I know it could've been the girl over there that did it!" Fang said, pointing at Compa.
A minute later, Compa told Neptune the same thing she told Fang, and Neptune was impressed to say the least.
"All by yourself? That's cool, thanks! You're a lot stronger than you look." Neptune complimented.
"Besides, I'll have you know that I helped shield you from the collision!" Fang interjected.
Ignoring Fang's statement, Compa continued on, "Well, I attend a nursing school. Transporting limp bodies is part of our training, so I'm used to it! My name is Compa, um…"
The purple haired girl placed an index finger on her cheek, as if she were thinking of something important, "Oh, I'm Neptune. Compa, huh? Then, should I call you… Com… uh… whatever. Compa's fine." Neptune said.
"It's nice to meet you, Nept-… Neppee-… Neptaa-… Ne-pelvis… Nep… tumor… W-wahh…" Compa said, struggling to pronounce Neptune's name.
Compa seemed as though she was about to cry just from not being able to pronounce a simple name, so Neptune came up with a solution for her.
"Oh, is it confusing you? Okay, then you can call me Neptuna, Nep-Nep, Neppermint, or something else!" Neptune suggested.
"Okay, then I pick Nep-Nep. It's nice to meet you, Nep-Nep!" Compa exclaimed.
"And who are you?" Neptune asked, looking at Eryn.
"My name's Eryn, and I'm a Fairy." Eryn replied.
"Ooh! A Fairy?!" Neptune exclaimed, "Let me touch your wings!"
"Wait, wha-?!"
During the conversation between the two girls, Fang immediately remembered that that "Neptune" was the name the women were calling her during the fight the previous night.
"Putting that aside, why were me and Neptune here put in the same bed?" Fang asked. Eryn was curious about that too.
Compa started shuffling slightly, "Umm… I'm sorry that I only had one guest bed. I would have put you in separate beds, but…"
Fang let that sink in, and when it did, his mind drifted back to Neptune's question, "I'm not 100% sure of what's going on, but did anything...happen while I was here?"
"Well...I did see a lot of moving around on the bed." Compa said hesitantly.
Neptune pointed an accusing finger at the Fairy Fencer, "I knew it! You had your way with me, didn't you, pervert!"
"Can it, you brat!" Fang shot back.
"But you were still out cold, Mr. Fang."
"Huh?"
Neptune stopped pointing and looked over at Compa, while Fang narrowed his eyes, "Explain."
Compa's face was now beet red and she began shuffle around more, "Well… I saw Nep-Nep clinging to you… and then she… started rubbing on your crotch… and then she grinded her-well, let's just say she was performing R-18 actions." Compa said, barely able to speak at this point.
Neptune's face was red from ear to ear, "No way… I didn't really do all those things, did I?"
"W-What the hell?!" Fang exclaimed with a red face, "And then you start blaming stuff on me!"
Eryn was also very red, but she couldn't help but feel the tiniest bit of...jealousy?
"Why did I even bother saving you?! Are you some kind of who-"
"Yep, I think that's enough verbal abuse for one day." Eryn said, slapping her hand over his mouth to avoid offending anyone.
Compa cleared her throat to get the attention of the bed occupant, "By the way, I noticed you're all beat up everywhere. Allow me to take a look real quick."
Neptune looked down at herself, and surely enough she had a few cuts, scrapes and bruises, "Oh, yeah, I am kinda scraped up, huh? Thanks, nurse-in-training, I'm trusting you with this important task!"
"Sure, but I've just started… and I'm not too savvy… I get bandages all tangled up."
Compa examined Neptune's injuries, "Your injuries aren't bad, but the scratches need disinfecting. After that, I'll wrap you up. It might sting a little, but hang in there. How much bandage should I use? A little? A lot?"
"Hmm, use it all up! Wrap me up so it doesn't come loose. Besides, it's a waste if they don't last."
Compa grabbed her bandage roll, "Okay, then I'll use what I have. Please let me know if it's too tight. This way… that way… loop it over…"
"Oh crap, I'm outta here." Fang thought, not wanting to get into some kind of misunderstanding again.
He just then noticed that he didn't have his usual jacket on, and he started mentally panicking. That is, until Eryn walked up to him with it.
"H-here you go." Eryn said, looking away with a slight blush.
"Umm, thanks. Are you getting sick or something? Your voice is low and face is getting red." Fang said.
"Never mind that! Let's just leave this room before things start escalating." Eryn said.
Leaving the room, Fang shut the door behind him, but the voices of the rooms occupants could still be heard through the door, "Huh? Nrrrg, h-hold on, slow down! Be carefu-"
"I don't want it to come loose or you'll trip over it! Hmph, hah! There."
While this was going on, Fang and Eryn's faces turned red once more, "Ahhh-guuuuh-wooooo! This is way too tight. I'm gonna snap, can't breathe, can't make… more… comments!"
"Nep-Nep? …Did I do it too tight after all? Please get a hold of yourself. I'll unwrap you right n-ahhh!"
Judging off the sound of Neptune's voice, Fang could only guess that the preteen must be losing her mind at this point, while Compa was only making things worse by trying to undo the bandages.
"It's tighter now! You're just tangling me up… stop! Gimme scissors… gimme now! Put 'em in my hands and I'll do it myself…!"
After a few more minutes of struggling and arguing, the voices were finally reduced to a normal volume.
Taking this as an OK to come in, Fang came back through the door to retrieve his sword and amulet he got from Emily.
"Strange...what was this doing out here...?" Fang thought to himself as he pocketed the amulet.
"Ahem. By the way, I was thinking while you were wrapping me in bondages… where am I?"
Compa had a look of disbelief on her face from hearing Neptune refer to her bandages as 'bondages', "Th-They're bandages! We're in the Central City of Planeptune."
Neptune looked absolutely confused, "Planep… tune? Hmm, okay, I remember someone mentioning the world below?"
Compa smiled at the preteen, which she seemed to do a lot of, "Yes, that's absolutely correct. This is one of the major landmasses beneath Celestia."
Although it wasn't much, it was the first piece of useful information Fang and Eryn had heard since waking up, "When you say one of the major landmasses, do you mean there are more?"
"Why, yes. There are four major landmasses floating around. Sometimes they come close to one another and drift away. Remember?"
Neptune did not seem to have a care in the world... and she didn't seem to remember anything, "Nope, not at all. Planeptune? Landmasses? Rings no bells for me."
Compa looked at Neptune in fascination, "Maybe you're suffering from amnesia. I've never seen a case in person. How original! Maybe you bumped your head…"
"Isn't there medication or something for that?" Neptune asked.
"Idiot." Eryn thought, "If it was easy as that, then I would have my only memories back by now."
Compa smiled at the amnesiac once more, "No, not for amnesia. It's usually a temporary thing. I'm sure you'll begin to recall things eventually. My Grandpa always said, 'Fancy may kill or cure!' Get some sleep, take it easy, and you'll be better in no time."
The nurse-in-training turned to Fang, "How about you, Mr. Fang? Do you remember anything?"
Fang put both of his hands behind his head and spoke, "I don't need to remember Jack. I'm going to be honest with you guys, but I'm not originally from here. I usually do my business elsewhere." He said.
Neptune and Compa looked at Fang with surprise and interest, "So you're like one of those heroes from another world? That's so cool!"
"Wow, a real extraterrestrial hero! I never thought I would meet a hero from another world!" Compa exclaimed.
"Hero? Where did they come to that conclusion?" Fang thought.
Compa returned her attention to Neptune, "But you should still get some sleep, Nep-Nep. You'll feel better soon."
Neptune looked slightly irritated, "…Get some sleep? I feel like someone asked me to do something while I was unconscious."
The preteen's eyes widened, "Yeah, someone was crying out for help… in my dream!"
"In your dream? Then it's not real." Eryn said.
Neptune however, only reaffirmed herself, "Oh, you never know. It was so weird. I betcha someone from far away was like pa-choo and sent me a telepathic message, y'know?"
"It's possible. Actually, many places, Planeptune included, are being threatened by more and more monsters lately. The military powers failed to keep them from appearing. We can only defend ourselves and keep them at bay now." Compa explained.
"Then… there must be a boss generating all these monsters somewhere! I bet our mission is to go defeat that boss and save the world!"
Fang's eyes narrowed at that last sentence, "'Our' mission?"
Neptune appeared to be brimming with confidence, "Yeah, you betcha! We're the ones that are gonna team up and save the world!"
"You may be right about a boss, but nobody has seen or heard anything like that. How will you find it? This is irrational, dangerous, and absolutely impossible!" Compa said, trying to persuade Neptune and Fang not to go.
Compa's attempt to dissuade Neptune only seemed to hype her up even more, "Nobody's gonna beat the boss if we just sit here. Someone's gotta take initiative, y'know? That's me and Fang! Plus, I can't ignore this once I've noticed it. Haven't you heard 'strike while the iron's hot?'"
Compa seemed to contemplate this, and then her eyes slowly widened, "I believe Grandpa did have a saying like that. Yes, that's right. I wanted to be a nurse to save people."
For the first time since meeting her, a serious expression made its presence on Compa's face, "So, why should I save the injured, but not those being threatened by monsters? How impolite of me!"
Compa's facial expression changed from serious to determined. "Nep-Nep, I'm not the strongest, but I'll help. Three is better than two!"
"You will? Don'tcha have school? You're not in the middle of summer vacation or anything, right?"
"Right, but… this city's population has been declining due to monsters eating them. Students are leaving school out of fear, so it's closed down for now. Classes are suspended until further notice."
The bubbly preteen was ecstatic that Compa would be helping, "Oh, that sucks, but that means you can camp out, right? Goodie! Let's go find the dungeon where the boss is waiting!" Neptune exclaimed.
Neptune turned to face Fang, "You're gonna help me too, right? I mean, you do know how to fight, right?"
"Obviously. I held off that one girl while you got your ass handed to you by two others." Fang said.
Neptune was still confused as to what he was talking about, for she forgot anything that happened the previous night.
"Yeah...whatever's that supposed to mean." Neptune said, "Anyways, let's go out and save the world!"
Fang slung his sword over his shoulder and opened the door leading outside. He stepped out first, letting Eryn, Neptune and Compa go after him.
"Just what the hell have I gotten myself into?" Fang thought as the four of them headed off for a new adventure.
A/N: Fang and Eryn have finally met Neptune and Compa, and the race for the Key Fragments begins...I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter of Fairy Fencer Fang: Into Neptunia, and as always see you next chapter.
