Story
Chapter 1
Neptune and Compa first fall into the cave from the Virtua Forest while investigating where the former fell from the sky. They encountered the Guard Vermin, which was driven off by Neptune's HDD mode.
The next day, the two overhear gossip in town about the cave being a breeding ground for monsters. This prompts them to visit the Guild and to aid Planeptune. Shortly after entering the cave, they bump into another adventurer, IF. The cliche meeting is soon interrupted by the return of the Guard Vermin, which Neptune suspects is looking for revenge. The three finish off the monster for good.
Further into the cave, Neptune finds a strange disc hanging on the cavern wall. The disc suddenly glows and several monsters emerge, leading them to realize this is how monsters began appearing in Gamindustri. After breaking a disc, a strange old lady appears stating her surprise to see Neptune here. She becomes indignant when Neptune doesn't recognize her (due to amnesia), and defeats the party in an unwinnable fight.
The woman tries to take Neptune's power, but Compa dives in to save her. IF realizes she's trying to drain Neptune's power as she suddenly began using Compa's speech patterns. Too weakened by the botched copy attempt, the party are now able to defeat her in battle, after which she flees.
