Moving onwards through the network to find less friendly viruses, it didn't take long for Vax to have exactly that happen to him. A trio of hovering boomerang-shaped viruses leered menacingly at him on the road he was walking on, a little further up. Without delay, one of them shot its boomerang at him, only to have it barely swish past his shoulder. That had to be scary.

Boomer A: 60 HP (Normal/FrontGuard)
Boomer B: 60 HP (Normal)
Boomer C: 60 HP (Normal/FrontGuard)

> Battle 1, Ready? Start!! <
Vax sulks as he continues down his path. "I feel so ashamed," he whines, "ashamed and horrified. How could I have let those innocent creatures go by themselves with a Diamondy virus?"

Aaron considers his next words carefully. "Uh...well... I'm sure that they-"

"I'm hungry. Let's get some chili dogwhatheheckwasthat?!"

A Boomerang swiftly moves past one of his arms, grazing his overcoat which quickly repairs the minor damage done to it.

"That was a Boomerang. The Main Attack of the Boomer series of viruses," While continuing his explanations, he slotted in chips. "Sometimes able to be copied, here's a cannon, after defeat and used as chip data. It was obviously fired by, Rageclaw1 standing by, the one that you attacked with the Cannon."

In fact, right after the Cannon materialized under his left sleeve, he immediately sent a blast of energy from it straight at the Boomerang-less Boomer. The Cannon disappeared, and his right sleeve suddenly has a sharp claw poking out from it.

"Yeah... yeah, that's interesting, yeah... uh-huh,..."

"Vax, I stopped talking."

"I see, hmm... yup, oka- oh, right, sorry. Stragety time, right?"

"Right. What you need to-"

"TImes up, let's go! GYaaaa...whoosh!"

Vax acted like it was going to charge head-on at another Boomer, but then attempted to dodge to the inside. As soon as it thinks it has given the Boomer enough time to fire its enormous weapon, he slashes at the virus. "Just make a one-foot incision at the metaviral oscilli..."
================================
Turn 1
1) Cannon (40 dmg + knockback) to Boomer B
2) Dodge with focus on Boomer A
3) Rageclaw1(40 dmg + slashing) to Boomer A
The Cannon blasts the middle Boomer back and heavily damages it. That will teach it to release its boomerang and not use it to guard its forward arc. The boomerang then returns to the Boomer, giving it its guard back.

The Navi then equips a RageClaw1 and dodges into melee. The two remaining Boomers release their boomerangs, the first one is dodged, but the second boomerang hits. Vax takes some damage from a blow to the shoulder.

Vax gets under the lead Boomer's guard and goes in for the strike. He slashes across the Boomer and it yelps in pain, in the viral tongue, before its boomerang returns to it.

"Next," Vax continues, "we must vivisect the- OW!" A Boomerang managed to slice open Vax's shoulder, causing him to yelp in pain. The overcoat quickly sews itself back up, but the damage has been done? "Who did that? Which one of you threw that at me? You are allll goiiing toooo diiiie!"

Vax rushes up to the remaining, undamaged Boomer and delivers a powerful slash, trying to cleave it in half - regardless of whether the guard is up or not. "DIEDIEDIEDIIIIIIEEEEE!"

"Calm down, pal," Aaron says, frantically yet trying to be soothing. "Just... calm down. It will be okay."

"CALM DOWN!? YOU CALM DOWN! THE VIRUSES ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO CALM DO-"

If Vax didn't have the mask, he might be grinning evilly. "Wait... they ARE the ones who need to calm down," he says slyly. "Aaron, a round of sedatives, please?"

"What sed-"

"Chip in the Needles, I'll make them sedatives."

"Um... okay." Aaron shrugs, and slots in the AquaNeedle1 chip. When it arrives, Aaron notices the data for the chip on his PET is acting... strange. "Um... there's something wrong with-"

"Nothing's wrong, time for medicine!" Vax fires the AquaNeedle, and... nothing. "Um... I think I left my safety on. Let's try it a-"

Purple needles surrounded by occasional static fall from the sky, attempting to pierce the Boomers from above. Their usual payload of simple, aqua-elemental pain has been augmented by corrupted data. This must be the 'sedative' Vax was referring to.
=========================================================
Turn 2
1) RageClaw1(40 dmg + slashing) to Boomer C
2*) AquaNeedle1 + Hacking (20 Aqua Damage + Drop attack to BoomerA, BoomerB, 20 Aqua Damage + Drop Attack + Glitch to BoomerC)
3) Dodge
[If you would be so kind to put accuracies of your attacks in the summary in the future, it would be very much appreciated.]

SCREEEEEeech. The nails against the chalkboard attack of Vax did nothing to the Boomer.

But the AquaNeedles were more useful, deleting two of the three, and missing the third. So no glitches.

The last remaining, undamaged Boomer launches his boomerang at Vax... and misses due to the Navi dodging the attack. Well done.

"Well, that didn't work." Vax tilts his head at the remaining Boomer. "You know, you really frustrate me. You know that, right? Okay, now that that's clear, Boomerangy - if that IS your real name..."

Vax quickly dives to the right, firing a grubby-looking syringe at the virus. Upon landing, he rolls to prevent himself from getting hurt from the fall, and to get back to his....feet(?), although the roll reveals nothing of what's under the cloak. "PLAN B! Enjoy your medicine!"

Meanwhile, Aaron goes over his data on both the Boomer type of virus and on Vax's condition. He occasionally thumps his PET against his hand or his desk. "Stupid thing," he grumbles. "Okay, got it! Vax?"

"Yessir...?"

"You appear to be hurt. Get ready to use your signature attack. However, aim away from the Boomerang part. It acts like a shield. Either fire at the sides or back, or wait for the Boomer to fire the boomerang. Got it?"

"Let's see, shiny shiny launchy thing go pwooosh, then I fire, or shiny shiny launchy thing blocks. I can also slippity-doo past the defenses on the sides or back.

"...close enough."

"READY!"

Vax checked to see if he could get a clear shot at the virus's weak points. If not, he would wait for the Boomer to fire again, and try to sneak a shot through while its shield is in motion. Either way...

"TIME FOR LEECHES! HAHAHAAHA!"

Both sleeves begin firing horrible, wriggling, sucking, razor-toothed leeches at the Boomer, attempting to latch on to the Boomer and start sucking out vital data. If successful, they will engorge themselves on the metaphorical blood of the poor virus, inflating like macabre water balloons, until they pop, sending the data back up the sleeves of the mad plague doctor Navi that released them.
=========================================================================
Turn 3
1) Dodge
2*) Buster Shot+Hacking(10 Null damage+Glitch) to Boomer C
3) Signature attack: LEECHES!(30 Null damage+Drain, 2TCD) to Boomer C
X) LEECHES! 2TCD Start
The Boomer gave Vax little time to sit back and relax, as it launched its boomerang straight at him. He tried to get out of the way before launching an innate attack, but it was just too quick, and got in a single, weak hit before he sidestepped it (5). The buster shot hit its mark, getting in some damage...strange, it looked a bit weaker now. His subsequent gastropod assault tried to get in before the virus's weapon got back to its mouth...and just managed to get it in time, causing the Boomer to be more damaged, while Vax, not so much.

Vax vacuums up the bled data through his sleeves, and quickly looks reinvigorated. "Yummy yummy yummy," Vax says with glee. "That was delicious! But I'm still hungry..."

"Deal with the virus first," Aaron grumbles, slotting in a Shotgun chip. "and then we might get you some food."

"Okay," Vax shouts excitedly. "Sounds like a plan! Speaking of plans, I have a few!"

Aaron sighs."... okay, Vax. What are your plans?"

"Plan one! I eat the virus!"

"...no."

"Fine, fine," Vax continues, shrugging, "plan two: I treat the virus's wounds. It is happy, and explodes from happiness."

"...No again."

"Last plan," the navi whines. "I'm all out of plans besides this one, so you better like it. I stand still, let the weakened Boomer hit me now that I'm fully healed, and when the Boomerang is out of the way, I start blasting it!"

"N- actually, go for it. That might work!"

Vax put the plan into action. First, he transforms his left arm into a Shotgun. Then, he shifts his left side forward, aiming at the Boomer. He stands, unflinching, waiting to be struck by the boomerang. After tanking the hit, he readjusts himself back to aiming position. Eventually, he fires the penetrating shot, attempting to destroy the foe.
=======================================================================
X) LEECHES! Cooldown: 2
1) Stand Ground
2) Take Aim (Increase Rank A accuracy to Rank A)
3) Shotgun(Acc A 50 damage + Spread1) To BoomerC
The weakened Boomer launches his boomerang as Vax stands his ground. However, the Boomer misses. Perhaps it was assuming that the Navi was going to move and aimed the boomerang where the virus thought the Navi would be, but wasn't. Regardless, the Navi fires his Shotgun at the defenseless Boomer and deletes it.

Vax looks around at the lack of viruses. "Well," he chirps, "that was fun! Now we can get some chili dogwhatheheckwasthats, right? I'm still starving!"

"What are 'chili dogwhatheheckwasthats," Aaron groans, "although I'm pretty sure I don't want to know...?"

"I don't know. I was talking about getting food earlier, and said I wanted some, so I guess they must be pretty g-hey, Zenny cache!"

In fact, there was a small cache of Zenny laying where one of the Boomers was destroyed. Vax bent down to pick it up, but accidentally bumped it away with his 'nose'. He tried again, and despite his mysterious floaty appearance, he managed to trip over it. Fed up, he stood, and pointed one of his empty sleeves at the money, and summoned a pointer rod from his sleeve. Acting like a magnet, the money cache stuck to the rod, and when he lifted the rod up, the cash cache disappeared. "There you go, Aaron. Money for the chili dogwhatheheckwasthats."

"..."
===================================
Searching for battle 2
Vax walks deeper into the NET and finds an interesting sight. Glass flooring extends as far as the eye can see in all directions, showing miles of multi-colored electrical conduits running a large amount of data underneath the surface. As the Navi stared at the wonders beneath his feet, a bunch of the panels around him became opaque, then glowed. He was now standing on an island of glowing solar panels on a sea of glass.

A few viruses began floating toward the Navi from the east: two Eleball and two Pulsebulb viruses. The balloon and pill-shaped electrical viruses were probably being drawn to the solar panels. The Pulsebulbs looked like they had a see-through metal covering protecting their delicate internal circuitry. They would probably have to open up in order to attack.

"-and that's why you don't eat ro-" Vax was stopped in the middle of his annoying rant by a gang of electric viruses. "Great," he grumbles, rubbing his mask with his sleeve. He shakes his head and complains under his breath about 'more viruses'.

"Quit your complaining," Aaron chides, "this is what we're here to do. Let's take care of these viruses!"

"Yeah, lets. You operate... and I operate, heheh."

"Y-yeah, o-of course," Aaron sofltly says, his eyes watering. "Let's, let's do this."

"What's wrong, Allan?"

"N-nothing. And it's Aaron."

"What is?"

"Never mind, just unload these on the electric orbs."

Aaron quickly slots in the Cannon, Aquaneedle, and Shotgun chips in rapid succession while Vax fires them at the Eleball nearest him. The powerful cannon shot comes first, causing recoil that makes his shooting arm move away from his target and upwards, perfect for launching the needles upwards so they fall downwards at the viruses. While the needles fell, Vax aims his last shot, the piercing Shotgun, forward, and fires as soon as the needles clear.
===================================================================
X)LEECHES! Countdown: 1
1) Cannon(acc A 60 dmg + Knockback) to Eleball A
2) AquaNeedle1 (20 x 3 Needles + Variable Targeting + Drop Attack)- 2 to Eleball A, 1 to Eleball B
3) 3) Shotgun(Acc A 50 damage + Spread1) to Eleball A and Eleball B
((I should note; signature attacks reset between battles and you were already good to use it.))

Faced with a strong force of electric viruses, Vax moved to intercept them before they could get too close. He readied a Cannon and took aim at one of the approaching Eleballs, blasting it with the powerful shot and causing it to fly backward with the impact. With hardly a delay in between, Vax followed up his first attack with a rain of sharp projectiles, the needles arcing from his recoiled Cannon-arm. The disoriented Eleball was quickly deleted by the attack, while the second took a glancing blow from the last needle. Meanwhile, the PulseBulbs swerved as an apparent knee-jerk reaction to the attack and smashed into each other, one of them taking noticeable damage to its casing. The other panicked afterward, taking off in the other direction as Vax fired his Shotgun and left the Eleball on its last legs. It wasn't down for the count yet, though, and began to charge electricity...

"That's... not normal virus behavior," Aaron commented slowly, scratching his head. "No offense, Vax, but you should be pretty injured by now. These are tough viruses that will take a lot of strategy to defeat... or at least they should be."

Even though it was impossible to see his face, Vax looked quite thoughtful. "Hm... maybe they're sick. I think I better try to cure them, then. Send me my operating gloves."

"Your what? Oh..." Aaron quickly slotted in the RageClaw chip and nodded. "Right," he says, "This."

"Thanks, nurse. Now I-"

"I'm not your nurse."

"So? Now, I must perform an Eleball transplant to the PulseBulb."

Vax glides over to the Pulsebulb, his RageClaw shining with reflected cyberlight. He attempts to make an incision in the PulseBulb, which would normally not be possible due to its hard armor - but he seems to have noticed the heavy damage it took when it ran into the other, self-deleting PulseBulb. Either that, or he's just being stupid. Either way, his slash seems to leave a glitchy residue on the ground, and - if successful - in the PulseBulb. He then rushes over to the Eleball, slashes away from it in a hook, and continues his slash until he spins 360 degrees - trying to scoop and throw it at the PulseBulb.
===========================
1) RageClaw1 (Acc B 40 slashing damage) to PulseBulbA (*Glitch)
2) Dodge
3) RageClaw1 (Acc B 20 impact) throw EleBallB @ PulseBulbA
For some reason the protective covering for the PulseBulb was damaged too much to protect the virus. The slash of a claw caught it in its fragile parts and caused a short circuit. The PulseBulb jerked around a bit and launched its attack at the Eleball. The cone of electricity that the PulseBulb discharges deletes the Eleball. With no Eleball to throw, Vax holds off in a defensive stance. The solar panels recharge a little of the PulseBulb's wasted energy.

Vax begins his operation. He goes to insert the Eleball... but stops when he sees the PulseBulb blast it. "What the heck, man," he shouts in shock. "Now what am I supposed to do? If you don't want to be saved..." he then looks downtrodden as he delivers his next line.

"I guess I'll have to make your death as quick and painless, so you don't have to suffer."

Vax glides up to the virus, when suddenly, his right hand also morphs into a Rageclaw - one that is pure black, no light coming off of it. He swings his left claw in a large hook, and when he is finished with that swing, the regular Rageclaw fades to black as the strange Rageclaw fills in with color. He then performs a right hook, then compresses as the claws switch back. Finally, he stretches upwards in a large uppercut with the normal - yet suddenly pixelated - Rageclaw, and the black one fades away completely.

Aaron puts his PET down and stares at it for awhile. "Vax..." he slowly asks, "how did you do that?"

"What, switch my rageclaw from hand to hand? How do you switch your PET from hand to hand? You just switch it from hand to hand..."

Aaron forgets his surprise for awhile while he facepalms and says, "Okay, I get it. Enough about hands. Besides, you don't even HAVE hands!"

"...WHO STOLE MY HANDS!?"

Vax gets two slices in before he is electrocuted by the PulseBulb... Then finishes with a third slice before his coding locks up from the stun. But when he recovers he sees a pile of money!

After recovering from stun, Vax shook himself and looked around. "Uh," he asked, confused, "What just happened? Where'd everybody go?"

"You...you won the battle," Aaron says happily, yet a hint of sadness was in his voice. "You fought quite well."

"Awesome. So why are you so sad, Johnny?"

"I'm...not Johnny..."

"I know that, it's my new nickname for you! On account of you being so rad." Vax fistpumps at his statement, which is a bit weird without a fist to pump with.

"That doesn't... nevermind. I'm sad because of what you said right before the battle, Vax. The 'You operate, and I'll operate' joke. The last time you said it was right before...before..."

"Before I kicked some major virus butt? Yeah, I'm just awesome like that. We done here? Jack out, Aaron.EXE!"

Aaron groans and facepalms. "One - you're the Navi, not me. And two, we aren't done here."
