A/N: Yo, vocaloidHM01 here. I'm finally done with this chapter of Fairy Fencer Fang: Into Neptunia, and I'm not gonna lie: the fights are really short in this one. Of course, this is just the tutorial dungeon, but I just wanted to put that out there just in case you guys were expecting some kind of drawn out boss-fight in here. With that being said, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter of Fairy Fencer Fang: Into Neptunia!

The group of three entered a 'dungeon' that Compa had found on an internet site called Dunglemaps. The dungeon really just looked like an abandoned factory with random treasure chests and boxes scattered about.

Neptune ran out in front of the group, unable to contain her excitement, "Is this the dungeon you found searching Dunglemaps? Yeah, it feels like a dungeon with lots of tough monsters."

"Well, shit." Fang said.

Compa shook her head at the bubbly preteen, smiling the entire time, "No, no strong monsters here. I searched for 'dungeons with weak monsters.' We're not ready for the strong ones yet."

"Thank god." Fang said in relief, "Fighting tough monsters would be a pain in the ass right now, anyways."

Neptune's excitement took a nosedive after hearing that, "What? Only weaklings? Fine then, I'll wait here and get to know Fang, where as you can come get us when you find the boss."

The nurse-in-training began to pout, "Th-That's not fair! I want to spend time with Mr. Fang, too! Besides we're a party, so we're all basically soul mates. Abandoning your party now goes against the rules of this world. You'll get punished by the goddess!"

Fang glanced at Eryn out of the corner of his eye, "Hey Eryn, didn't one of those women from last night say something about becoming True Goddess?" He whispered to Eryn.

"You actually remembered that much detail? I'm impressed. But yeah, apparently Neptune is one of the goddesses that reside in this world." Eryn whispered back.

"Goddesses? So there's more than one? That sounds like a pain in the ass." Fang said, cracking his neck.

"Yeah, but there's something else too..." Eryn said, her tone becoming serious.

"What is it? You get any new info?" Fang asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, yes and no. Last night I heard-"

Their conversation was cut short when Neptune started asking more questions.

"Goddess? So not only are there monsters, but there's a goddess here, too?"

Compa held both of her cheeks and started sympathizing with the preteen, "You didn't know? Silly amnesia… but forgetting even the goddess? Oh, you poor thing!"

The nurse-in-training then started explaining things to Neptune, "Aside from Planeptune, there are three other landmasses: Lastation, Leanbox, and Lowee. Each planet is protected by a goddess, and people go to the Basilicom to worship them and help govern each land."

"Wow, that's a lot different from our world." Eryn spoke up.

"Huh?" Neptune and Compa said at the same time.

"Fang, you can do the honors." Eryn said, stepping back.

"Why do I have to explain?! You know this stuff better than I do!" Fang exclaimed.

"Just do it."

"Well, to be blunt, There's only TWO deities in our world. 'Our' being myself and Eryn." Fang started.

"Go on." Compa said, interested.

"We have the Goddess and the Vile God. The Goddess was fighting the Vile God to protect our world, while the Vile God was fighting to destroy our world. Long story short, they beat each other into submission, and now they're in a deep sleep." Fang explained.

"Wow, that sounds pretty intense..." Neptune said in awe.

"I'll take over from here. Fang and I are trying to collect these things called the Furies so we can break all of the seals and revive the Goddess." Eryn said.

"Hmm. That sounds easy enough." Neptune and Compa thought.

"But alas, we got ourselves some competition. Which in our case, is the Dorfa Corporation. They're trying to revive the Vile God so they can obtain its power and conquer the world." Eryn continued.

"Yeah, but we'll save the details for later. For now let's get a move on." Fang said, not ready to delve in deep, knowing what the events lead up to.

Compa and Neptune simply tilted their heads in confusion and shrugged it off.

"Well back to the topic, we have no idea where the monsters are coming from. Their power just grows and grows. Everyone thinks it's due to the goddesses' weakening powers. Heated discussions take place every night on the Basilicom's blog." Compa explained.

Eryn took mental notes of the details in the conversation while Neptune went off asking even more questions, "Basilicom? So… what kind of place is that? Is one nearby? Do they bake cookies?"

Fang was getting annoyed by the back-to-back conversation between the two girls, "Guys, let's get moving already. I'm already tired and hungry, but if you guys keep on yapping, me and Eryn will take care of this problem ourselves."

Compa was snapped out of their conversation when she heard that and suddenly clapped her hands together, "Mr. Fang is right Nep-Nep, enough banter. We should get going before the weak monsters get tired of waiting for us!"

"Okie-dokie."

Neptune, Compa and Fang began to venture into the dungeon. While they walked down the passage, Fang's eyes darted from one spot to the next, releasing frustrated breaths as he did so, "Damn, where are these things? I just want to hurry up and finish this so I can go eat or something."

Neptune looked at Fang as he looked around with annoyed eyes, "What'cha looking for, Fang? Did you drop something?"

"No. I'm just looking for these damn monsters." Fang replied.

As the group rounded the corner, Neptune caught sight of what appeared to be a treasure chest. Like an excited cat, the preteen sprinted towards the chest with utmost enthusiasm, "Ooooh, treasure! Gimme gimme gimme!"

"Come on, Mr. Fang. Let's make sure Nep-Nep doesn't hog all of the treasure." Compa said, walking towards Neptune.

"Right..." Fang said, a little skeptical of what's to happen.

As Fang and Compa made their way over to Neptune, the bubbly girl opened the chest and began to look inside for its contents, bending over and giving Fang a good view of her striped panties.

Fang facepalmed and held it with a red face, while Eryn simply looked the other way. When Neptune stood back up, she was holding a wooden sword in her hands, "This is way better than the sword I've got, sweet!"

Fang looked at her with narrowed eyes and a sweatdrop. Was Neptune so poorly equipped that a wooden sword was genuinely better than any of the equipment she had brought with her?

"The hell? What happened to that badass sword she had the other day?" Fang thought.

Raising her new sword, Neptune thrust it down the passage that the group had yet to explore, "Alright, let's keep going people!"

Shortly after walking deeper into the dungeon, the group encountered a green blob like creature, Neptune's eyes began to burn with determination, "We finally found a monster! Let's beat 'em up!"

Meanwhile, Fang just stared at the 'monster', "No. Goddamn. Way." He thought.

"This small fry is considered to be a monster?" Eryn thought with a sweatdrop.

The strange creature seemed to read the thoughts of Fang and Eryn and decided to prove that it was a real threat. Taking a leap at the skeptical Fang, it knocked Fang to the ground and stuck to him for a few seconds.

Key word being "few".

"You...son of a..." Fang said, rising to his feet. A menacing aura had surrounded him.

Fang gripped the green blob and quickly ripped it from his shirt. The green blob, known as a Dogoo, was now scared shitless of what's to come next. Glaring at it, Fang threw it in the air and waited for it to come into his range.

"TAKE THIS!" Fang exclaimed.

In under the fraction of a second, the monster had been cut clean in half by a horizontal slash. Fang was standing in front of the creature's remains, which pixelated away soon after, "Hmph. Serves you right, slimy bastard."

Neptune and Compa stared at Fang with a starry eyed look, "Wow, that weapon is soooo cool! That thing has to be some kind of ultra rare pick-up, and the way you took out the monster so fast was epic! I would expect nothing less from my partner-in-crime."

"Partner-in-crime? Since when did we become criminals?" Fang thought aloud.

Compa ignored Fang's question, "We'll definitely be safe with Mr. Fang around."

Fang held his fist up with one arm and his elbow in the other, "While I'm glad that you two are marveling at my greatness, I really want to get this over with. This whole quest thing seems like a chore anyway."

Neptune began to stare at Fang's sword while drooling, "Hey, Fang. Can I use your super duper coolio sword there?"

Eryn spoke for Fang with a sweatdrop, "Uh...no."

Before he could move away, Neptune had locked arms with Fang, which did not fail to annoy him, "Come on, Fang! As partners we should at least trust and stick to each other at all times!"

"I already do all those things with someone, and that's Eryn. So I refuse." Fang said.

"Aww, Come on! Pretty please?" Neptune said with puppy dog eyes.

"If you were to try and wield me, you wouldn't be able to Fairize, let alone carry me around during a fight." Eryn said, trying to convince Neptune that it would be useless.

"If you want to try, then go ahead." Fang said with a smile, knowing what's going to happen next.

Fang held his sword out by the blade with one hand, while Neptune gripped the handle with both of her hands.

"Okie dokie, here I-WAAUGH!" Neptune exclaimed.

BANG!

Letting go of the sword, Fang had left it to Neptune to hold, but it dropped to the floor immediately after losing contact of its original wielder, and made a decent-sized crack in the floor.

Compa looked on with widened eyes as she looked at dust the sword picked up upon hitting the ground, "Nep-Nep, are you okay?!"

"Told you." Eryn said.

Neptune struggled to pick up the sword and her face started turning red from exhaustion, "Why...is the sword...so freaking HEAVY?!" She exclaimed.

"You can't say I didn't warn you." Eryn said.

Neptune was steadily trying to pick up the sword as if it were the holy sword Excalibur, "NNNNNNNGHHH!"

"Hey Eryn, Look at that." Fang said, watching the sword rise by a single centimeter.

"Well, I guess I stand corrected." Eryn said, looking at Neptune straining herself.

"You can do anything...WITH FIGHTING SPIRIT!" Neptune exclaimed, yanking the sword upward.

"Holy crap, you actually did it!" Fang said, impressed.

SLAM!

However...the sword had been lodged into the ceiling.

"You dumbass!" Fang exclaimed.

"Heh, Heh...sorry." Neptune said, scratching her head with an apologetic expression.

"Alright, that's enough distractions for one day." Eryn said, retrieving the sword and tossing it towards Fang.

"Thanks." Fang said, examining his sword for possible damage. Closing his eyes, Fang addressed Neptune.

"...Hmph. Regarding your question, that'll depend on the circumstances." Fang said, looking towards Neptune's dazed form.

"So that means I can use it?" Neptune asked.

"...Depending on the circumstances." Fang repeated himself.

Neptune and Compa stopped to pick up three disks that the monster dropped, "There's three of them Nep-Nep. Each of us should take one."

Neptune took two of the disks and ran up to Fang, putting one of them in his hands, "You should always stop to pick up the goodies that the monsters leave behind. It's good luck."

"Right..." Fang replied, looking at the disc in his hands.

The group came upon a three way intersection and another treasure chest, Neptune and Compa ran towards the box while Fang followed along at his own pace, "Finders keepers!"

When the girls arrived at the container, they wasted no time in opening it. Neptune pulled out a large hammer, while Compa held a small gold bell, staring at it intensely. Neptune slung the hammer over her shoulder, "Neato! I betcha this will come in handy!"

"Dear god... she better not swing that thing around me..." Fang thought.

Compa noticed another treasure chest in a nearby room, ran up to the box, and relieved it of its contents. Compa returned to Neptune and Fang with several bottles filled with a green liquid, "Look! I found more treasure!"

"What is that? Alcohol? I could get drunk right now." Fang said without a care in the world.

As they continued down the unexplored passage of the intersection, two more monsters sprang out from behind the corner; both were the same as the one that Fang had disposed of not long ago. Fang was about to attack them until Neptune and Compa had walked in front of him, weapons drawn, "Leave this to us, Mr. Fang!"

"Yeah, can't let you beat all the monsters by yourself, otherwise we wouldn't be much of a party!" Neptune exclaimed.

Fang was about to question the girls' decision to fight, but decided against it, "Whatever floats your boat. I guess. Just don't get yourselves hurt."

Compa's face turned red at that, "You're worried about us, Mr. Fang? There's no need to!"

Neptune held up her wooden sword, while Compa carried a large syringe with a long needle. Fang stood off to the side with his arms crossed waiting for the battle to begin, "Hajime!" he exclaimed.

"Whoa...why did I just say that?" Fang thought.

However, Neptune took that as a sign to begin, and struck one of the 'Pixelvaders' with an overhead slash. The preteen then pulled out a gun from behind her back, "Always gotta aim for the head!"

Neptune pulled the trigger, and a purple bullet came out of the barrel and struck the monster, instantly killing it. Compa held her syringe up and a liquid bullet escaped from the needle and struck the other 'Pixelvader'.

Fang was then greatly disturbed when the nurse-in-training used her syringe to stab and efficiently penetrate the monster, "God damn...I better not get on her bad side."

"You can say that again..." Eryn said, also disturbed by the scene.

After a few more seconds of fighting, the pixelated monsters were soon good and dead. Neptune flashed Fang a peace sign, "What'cha think of that, Fang? Do I rock this game or what?"

Fang had no comment, "Uh..."

"Are you awestruck by my awesomenness? I guess that's to be expected from someone like me. Well anyways, let's keep goin'! I know there's a boss in here somewhere. Make sure to grab the stuff the monsters dropped."

After retrieving the monster drops, Neptune, Fang and Compa continued down the unexplored section of the dungeon, only to be stopped by a blockade made of fences and boxes.

Eryn analyzed the obstruction for a moment, "It shouldn't take too long to bust through here. Fang, you ready?"

"Yep. Let's do this!" Fang exclaimed, "FAIRI-"

At that moment, Neptune pulled out her new hammer out of nowhere, "We'll just bust through with this! It's Hammer Time!"

SLAM!

The energetic preteen swung the hammer down on the obstruction, causing all of the debris to scatter and fly in different directions, "All clear! Come on, the boss has got to be waitin' up ahead."

"H-Holy crap..." Fang said, looking at the destruction brought on by one swing, "I better keep an eye out for that thing..."

After a short walk through the dungeon, the group of three arrived in the last room, only there was nothing there. Just more unopened crates, fences and useless background objects, "A dead end...What the hell is this supposed to mean? Was this just a fluke?"

"No, the monster is definitely in here, Mr. Fang."

Compa pulled out her new gold bell, "We have to lure it out now, that's why I have this bell."

Fang pondered in his head as to whether or not it was safe to use the bell if it attracted monsters. For all he knew, it could be some kind of elaborate trick.

The nurse-in-training began to ring the bell, "Monster-san!", the chiming noise echoed throughout the room.

Nobody breathed, nor did anybody move. Fang's eyes darted around the room for any sign of movement, "Where is this thing? This better not be a waste of time."

Neptune gave a cheerful grin, "Well, it's gotta be some kinda big monster with eight legs, and a really big sword!"

"…So in other words, we have nothing to go on other than the imagination of an idiot." Eryn said with annoyance.

The group heard movement above them, and when they looked up a strange monster dropped down from the ceiling, "Shit-! Move!"

Fang, Neptune and Compa scrambled out of the way, as the monster dropped where they had been. The monster had the lower body of a spider, while it's waist up looked humanoid, like a strong warrior's torso and arms though the head was clearly not. In its left hand was a large two handed with sharp edges on both sides of the blade and the monster's body seemed to be armored.

"…What the hell?… she was actually right about what it would look like?!" Fang exclaimed.

Neptune stared at the boss monster, "Whoa… and I was just guessing what the boss would look like… creepy."

"Well, it's coming our way!" Fang exclaimed, "Eryn!"

"Right!" Eryn exclaimed.

(Play "Full Contact" from Fairy Fencer F's OST.)

"FAIRIZE!" They exclaimed in unison.

The sword that Fang had chucked into the air has now been stabbed through his chest, a bright light shining from the blade. Fang extended his left arm as he gained unique looking armor that covered a good portion of the left side of his body.

"Henshin...complete." Eryn said in an monotone-like voice.

"Time to kick some ass!" Fang exclaimed as a purple aura burst forth, surrounding his body.

Compa stared wide eyed at Fang's transformation, and Neptune also appeared to be intrigued by it, "M-Mr. Fang can transform?!"

The eight-legged creature briefly stopped it's charge to look at Fang's new form, and Fang used that as his chance to strike.

"How this?!" Fang exclaimed, delivering two horizontal slashes to the creature's upper torso, leaving two red marks on its 'skin'. Fang then spun around and did a 360 turn, delivering another set of slashes to the lower body, which in turn made the creature jump back a few feet.

"I haven't even gotten started yet." Fang said, wiping a sweat from his forehead.

"Oh, I get it now! Those canon-fodder from earlier were just warm-up battles! This is my REAL debut fight!" Neptune exclaimed, hitting her fist over her hand.

"Your what now?" Fang asked as he jumped back to avoid a direct hit from the creature, now known as a Guard Vermin.

Neptune started to flail her arms in an attempt to get Fang's attention, a stupidly wide grin on her face, "Hey Fang! You can transform right?! Well, two can play at that game! I'm totally gonna blow you and Compa away with my super-secret HDD move!"

Fang and Compa stared at the bubbly preteen for a brief moment, "What exactly is this HDD you're talking about?" Eryn asked.

Neptune's grin was so wide it almost looked like it would split her cheeks, "I have no idea whatsoever! Histy just started talkin' to me and said, 'Neptune, use the Hard Drive Divinity, and kick the baddies' big fat butt'! That is, if he's even got one."

Compa comically fell on her face, while Fang simply facepalmed.

"Trust me! Watch this!" Neptune exclaimed, as she was surrounded by glowing, green binary code that rapidly alternated between the numbers 1 and 0. A ring of disks surrounded Neptune and she pulled one out, "Time to kick some monster booty!"

The room was suddenly bathed in a bright light and when it subsided, Neptune, or rather who Fang thought was Neptune who now stood before him had undergone a dramatic change, and it had taken Fang briefly by surprise.

Her hair was much longer now and was a mix of dark lilac and purple, the bangs that framed her now strikingly beautiful face were longer and her hair was pulled into two tailed braids. Her light purple eyes had become crystal blue and her irises now looked like power button symbols, her hairclips had changed into black circular objects with glowing blue X's.

Her white and purple hoodie was replaced with a black skin suit with purple and silver segments along it and the suit hugged the curves and swells of her new, mature body very well, Fang could not tell whether she was wearing boots or some kind skin tight leg armor, but it reached up to her thighs and matched her body suit.

On her hands, she wore what looked to be gloves or gauntlets with sharp fingertips that looked as though they could be used to rend and also matched her skin suit. In her right hand, she held a large, futuristic katana that shared the same black and purple color scheme as her skin suit with a few glowing blue spots, and numerous pieces of what could be considered armor and a pair of wings were floating along the sides of her body.

The woman turned to look at Fang, who was staring at her with a surprised expression, "Fang, I'll take care of this."

Fang noticed how much her voice had deepened, not only that, but she spoke with a voice full of pride and confidence.

"Hey, just because you can transform doesn't mean you can take away my spotlight!" Fang exclaimed.

"Don't worry. I'm more than capable of handling this myself."

Fang could easily tell that she was not bluffing, as he could feel an aura of power emanating from Purple Heart. Compa began to tug on Fang's jacket to get his attention, "Umm… Mr. Fang, I think the monster is tired waiting on us."

Indeed, the monster had waited long enough for the group to do something, and began to charge right at them.

Compa was growing nervous by the second as the Guard Vermin drew near, as her knees started shaking, "What, are you scared?"

The nurse-in-training looked at Fang as he kept his eyes forward, "Y-Yeah, but I won't run away. Not now, nor ever." She replied as she readied her syringe.

Fang closed his eyes and let a small, yet genuine smile emanate from his lips,"You may not look like it, but you're a strong girl, Compa."

Compa's face had reddened considerably. Fang had come off as a rude, swearing maniac, but his words just now seemed so warm and sincere.

Compa gripped her syringe tightly as her face practically burned with determination, "I won't let you down, Mr. Fang!"

Fang let his smile fade as he stared down the Guard Vermin that was currently charging at them, "Hmph. No need for formalities. Just call me Fang, since we're in the same party." Fang said as he readied his sword.

"HAAAA!" Fang exclaimed as he rushed headfirst toward the Guard Vermin, "Shooting Slash!"

TING! SLASH! CRACK!

Delivering a three-slice combo, Fang managed to cut off two of the Guard Vermin's legs, making it briefly lose its balance.

"This fight should be over in a minute." Fang thought, "Compa!"

"Right!" Compa exclaimed, firing a bullet at the arm that was holding the sword, weakening its grip. A crack had spread to the elbow of the Guard Vermin and was now on the defensive.

"Neptune!" Fang exclaimed, waiting for the final blow.

"I'm already on it." Purple Heart said. She had entered Guard Vermin's field of motion and launched her attack at the monster. When both swords clashed, the monster's sword immediately shattered into hundreds of thousands of pieces against Purple Heart's superior strength.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Purple Heart continuously struck the Guard Vermin in its upper torso, tenderizing it for the final slash. Then, in the blink of an eye, Purple Heart had cut the monster cleanly in half, landing gracefully to the ground.

The Guard Vermin had exploded in a mass of pixels and binary code.

"That monster was nothing. I wanted that fight to last a lot longer." Purple Heart said in disappointment.

"W-We won!" Compa exclaimed.

"That's one problem solved." Fang said, slinging his sword over his shoulder, "Now what do have here?"

Fang picked up what seemed to be part of a puzzle, "I have no idea what this thing is, but I have a feeling that this is one of those things that seem irrelevant early on, but important in later events." Fang thought aloud.

"We defeated the boss, so who cares? Problem solved!" Neptune exclaimed, now back to her human form.

"Yeah, but we still have one problem." Eryn said, cancelling Fairy Link.

"And what's that?" Neptune asked.

"...Where the hell is the entrance?" Fang asked.

A cold silence fell upon the group of four.

"Heh, Heh, whoops." Neptune said, scratching her head.

"This has gotta be some goddamn joke." Fang said with a frustrated facepalm.
