Miyu dropped her scythe and clawed at her chest as the wisp entered her. "G-get... out... of m-me..." she managed to choke out, her face contorted into a mishmash of fear, anticipation, and pain. She struggled to keep her sanity as the voice echoed in her head. She tried to talk it out of her in her mind. What do you want with me, virus? What are you? She paused for a moment, before adding Do you know anything about this Answerman that I've been sent to look for?
Leon, meanwhile, looked on as Miyu struggled on the outside, barely able to move or speak. "Damnit Miyu, shake it off! There are still enemies in front of you!" As she failed to respond, he checked her vitals, and upon finding the invasive parasite, began doing all he could from the Pet's interface to expel the invading entity.
Miyu continued to try to get information from the virus, while simultaneously trying to move her arm enough to guard herself a little from any incoming attacks. She knew she wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to move much with all of the howling going on in her mind. Until the invader was expelled, it seemed she'd be more or less stuck trying to focus enough to roll out of the way of an incoming attack instead of into it. At least the ground is magnetized, that might be enough to save me for a minute...
Leon frowned and let out a sigh as he watched Miyu struggle to do much of anything constructive. "Too bad we don't have something this effective to use against Answerman..."
"That's it!" Miyu's eyes widened as she barely managed to hear Leon's comment over the chaos in her mind. Wait! You said you needed someone, right? Let me go, and we'll find someone else for you to inhabit! I won't harm you if you release me, and you probably won't have to worry about them fighting you by the time we're done with them!
--------------------
Turn summary - Try to get information out of the wisp, prepare to try to dodge, and try to talk it into leaving Miyu and forming a temporary alliance to find it a new, suitable host that isn't Miyu.
Wanted: Answerman.EXE

The pleas for help continue to echo inside Miyu's head despite her best efforts to try and communicate with the thing. It is entirely non-responsive to her words and it dawns on her that there is not enough coherence within the program to bargain with it. However, the revelation comes at a price and the wisp drains some energy to sustain its connection with Miyu.
She laments her failure and somehow manages to successfully expel it from her systems.

((I suppose I ought to finish this before I do anything else involving these two, eh?))
That... that was terrible. What a pitiful creature. Miyu frowned at the Wisp, feeling pity for the amalgamation of lost souls, and quickly began to move away from it.
Leon let loose a sigh of relief. "That could have gone far worse. Glad to see you shook it off so easily." Leon grabbed his chips, and sent the AreaGrab, AurHead1, and shotgun. "Line 'em up and tear 'em apart, Miyu. We have a Man to get Answers from!"
Miyu quickly activated the AreaGrab chip and moved so that she had lined up the wisp and the melodies, preferring the stronger looking one, but made sure to keep some distance between the Wisp and herself. She wasted little time before forming a disturbing looking head in front of her, and with a wave of her hand the head tore through the air towards it's victims with a menacing grin growing on its face as it neared. She took to a knee as soon as she fired the AurHead, and lined up her shogun at the wisp and a Melody. Once the AurHead had passed the Wisp, she fired the shotgun, hoping to put the being out of its misery.

1. Quickly get away from the Wisp.

The Wisp was too dazed to do anything before Miyu hit it with her Aurahead (90), striking the Melody behind it as well (90). She finished off her primary target with a Shotgun (50) but the Melodies behind it was smart enough to move out of the way and began to hop wildly about. One of them bounded on Miyu twice (20 x 2) and the other one landed a grazing blow as it followed its partner (20). The donut thing seemed to shake off its paralysis and began to shuffle around. The flying lump didn't move.

Miyu let out a long breath, clenching her teeth as she tightened her grip on Corruption. She was getting tired, and her body was covered in tender spots from the attacks she had been taking. I've got to finish this soon, or else I might not make it through.
Leon could see how tired she was getting without looking at the status screen. He was agitated with himself, thinking back on how he probably should have spent some money on a good recovery chip or two instead of hoping that a single Recov10 would be enough to get them out of tight spots. He quit clearly put better recovery chips on his mental to-do list. Then he focused his attention back on the problem at hand: finishing this fight and, if possible, finding Answerman to complete the mission. He began to weigh their options.
Miyu, meanwhile, had already decided to take action. She was hurt, but there were two targets very close to her that were begging to be finished. He scythe began to faintly glow, turning transparent, as she moved towards one of the instruments that had just used her as a tuning fork. She wasted no time swinging at it, aiming to chop the virus in half with a single swipe and adsorb some of the data from it as it was deleted to heal her own damage.
She quickly freed a hand and formed a glowing mass of energy, which she held on to while creating a gust and blowing herself away from the remaining Melody. Once she had landed she threw the energy at the virus, hoping the crackling electrical energy would be enough to finish it off.
She turned to the remaining two viruses and with her free hand shot an electrical jolt at the lumpy one. She fixed her grip on Corruption and made sure to not hold still, not wanting to give whatever was left a free shot at her.

The rest of the Melody virus was absorbed by Miyu before she leapt back and bombarded the area with an enormous static field. The other Melody virus fell to the electric attack but the other two viruses survived. They retaliated swiftly with the donut thing teleporting up to Miyu and laying down a mess of white goop around her feet and the flying lump releasing a swarm of BEES! Miyu evaded both attacks but the bee swarm was determined and attempted to make another run for the navi.

Leon saw this as their chance to turn the fight quickly in their favor. He sent Miyu the data for a Bubbler, as well as Thunder and Zapring. He lastly sent their Recov10. "Miyu. Hose those bees down so they don't get a second chance. Stun the other two viruses, and when you have a break in the action patch yourself up a bit."
Miyu didn't acknowledge the orders in any particular fashion, instead busy making sure the bees were at a safe distance, using her wings to help her hops around the field while making sure to avoid the web looking area that the one virus had just created. She loaded the bubbler mid jump, spinning around to face the bees and readying her shot. As soon as she landed and was stable, she fired a mass of bubbles at the bee swarm.
She then dispersed her weapon, instead forming a glowing and crackling yellow ball in each hand. She sent the first rolling along the ground like a bowling ball, headed for the first mystery virus. She fired the second at the flying virus, the ball spinning and morphing into a ring during its flight. Without taking her eyes off her enemies, the used the recov chip, it taking the form of a patch alternating cool and warm, and stuck it on her arm.

((You get a damage bonus with elec chips. I didn't include it because I'm too lazy to look up what it is.))
The bees were watered down before they could attack again. The two viruses were also stunned by a zapring and thunder, but not before the flying lump released another cluster of bees at Miyu and the donut left another web in its wake. Instead of dodging, she healed minorly (+10) and endured the full wrath of the swarm (25 x 2). She was injured but at least the viruses were now at her mercy.

"Well, I guess that could have worked better." Leon slotted in what he planned to be the finishing blow.
Miyu formed a small military looking handset in her hand, mumbled something about Charlies and Foxtrots into it, tossed it over her shoulder as it disappeared. A few seconds later a squad of short, squat mechs teleported down in front of her. They only came to her waist, but each was carrying a menacing looking butcher knife. The looked around the field, spotting the two stunned virii, and immediately charged at them as two separate groups. Their knives raised high and their battle shouts sounding like from odd chiptune from yester years, they sliced and stabbed the two enemies left on the field. Or at least that's what it looked like from where Miyu was, there we so many of them in each group she had a hard time telling just what exactly was going on. She hopped around, trying to get a better look, but nothing helped much.

Miyu walked to collect the zenny, plopping down on the ground as she did. "This mission sucks, Leon. Why'd you have to go and get the hardest mission ever for our first one?"
"Hey. I didn't think we'd have this much trouble, especially not against someone called Answerman. I mean seriously, he sounds like someone who'd host a quiz show. I figured he'd just ask you how much you thought an item cost without going over."
"They don't really have game shows like that, do they? It sounds stupid."
"O-of course not! Who would spend free time watching others guess how much a new stove is worth? I mean... ehehehe... that's just a waste of time..." Leon's voice trailed off as he tried to play off ever watching such a show. "Anyways... let's see if we can finish this. One way or the other, I guess."
Miyu let out a sigh as she stood, the effort taxing her sore frame. She walked slowly along, keeping an eye out for more virii or some possible trail to follow to her target. "You owe me a nice long soak in Yoka after this..."
((Batter up, I suppose.))

A new wave of blanketed viruses blocked Miyu's progress but there was something very strange about the encounter. All of the viruses seemed to be moving around the single central immobile virus in the middle of the group - the large floating orb. Even small pieces of debris, sand and pebbles were circling it like rings around a planet. The single panel below the unfamiliar virus was magnetic, which implied whatever it was wasn't affected by the special terrain. The rest of the viruses looked to be weird shaped lumps. Miyu counted two of each if she could rely on their shape to identify them.
