An Attempted First Run

The Navi blasted the Spikey with a powerful Shotgun blast, wounding it heavily, but failing to strike the Spooky behind it. A follow up Cannon shot strikes the Spikey full on just as it breathed a fireball at Merrill. Fortunately, the fire attack missed. As it would have been amplified by the flammable grass the Navi was standing on.

The Spookys teleported around the Navi and began giving him a tongue lashing. Two managed to smack the Navi with their tongues, leaving trails of slime over his body and a semi-queezy feeling. Although now they were also on the easily flammable grass.

Merrill couldn't help but take a deep breath as the Spikey was defeated. The fireball that targeted him was blasted way off target, missing both him and the GMD.

"So far, so good..."[i][/i]

However, he had no time to relish in his victory. The spikey may have been defeated, but the Spookies were upon him, two of them covering him with slimy tongue licks.

"ICK!"

He managed to evade the other two, but damage had still been done. He gripped his shoulder and touched the side of his face as he checked the damage.

"You okay Merrill?"

"Yeah."

Xypher nodded, taking Merrill's word for it. He downloaded a chip as his response, staying quiet. He trusted Merrill to remain in control.

Merrill felt it in his system. He recognized the RageClaw, and prepared to use it. However, realizing that the closest two Spookies were standing on grass, he changed his mind, and blasted at them at near point blank range with his previously downloaded [Firehit1.] As soon as he made his movements, a white light surrounded his body. Xypher grinned, as Merrill's regenerative properties kicked in, just as he was designed.

From there, his left hand became a bear claw, which he charged energy through. He dashed forward, and using what accuracy he had, tried to cleave each of the other two Spookies in half. the white light continued to envelope him, healing the skin and damage from the slime.

Merrill made sure he stood well in front of the GMD, doing everything he could to keep the Spookies, IF they survived, to himself.

[Clarification: Double Attack is not the same as Spread or Variable Targeting. I understand that it is somewhat unclear, but Double Attack allows you to use the attack again with a separate action, not attack two targets twice. Also, Free Actions don't count towards the "Heal 5HP per Action on Grass Terrain."]

His first blast of white fire missed the teleporting Spooky. But his second strike set one of the ghosts on fire. It gave off a wounded cackle before it vaporized in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a patch of burnt soil.

The three remaining viruses surrounded the Navi and began licking him. But only one managed to hit him before he cleaved through the other two with his bear claw, leaving only one virus standing. Well... floating.

Oh, and Merrill was regaining strength from photosynthesis during the whole time.

[Understood. Thank you for the Clarification. Sorry about that.]


"Finish him Merrill. You've got this!"

Without wasting any time after being attacked, Merrill charged directly at the remaining Spooky, summoning a white blade out of thin air. He then used his hand to summon a barrier, in case his plan failed. He slashed at the poor creature from only a foot or so away, in an attempt to slice it in two with the white blade. Following that up, he used the clawed hand again to try and "Seal the Deal."

Actions:

FA: Regenerator: Merrill heals 3 Hp

Action1: Summon Energy Aura [20 Hp Barrier summoned around Merrill]

Action2: Vampiric Slash @ Spooky A

Vampiric Slash. [24 SP]
Merrill draws the Sword, a white energy swirling between the fangs at the tips. Merrill then fires at his opponent, and upon contact, steals life energy from them, returning and giving him increased vigor.
Damage: 12 Null + Life Drain; Shot Attack
Accuracy: A
TCD:1

Action3: RageClaw1 40 Dmg, Slashing, B Acc. @ Spooky A
Merrill slashes through the Spooky with his white blade of vampiric power, draining the poor virus ghost of some of its data. The ghost licks the barrier, unfortunately not doing enough licks to get to the tasty center of a Navipop. And is summarily executed by a claw slash for the crime of not getting to the center of the Navipop. Mr. Owl does not take such an offense lightly.

~Battle 2: Victory!!~
Rewards: Heatshot, 360z

OPEN GMD: Y/N?
As Merrill finished off the Spooky, Xypher raised his hand in the air in victory.

"Great Job Merrill! You did fantastic!"

Merrill smiled lightly, wind blowing gently in the silence that followed.

"Thanks. However you were did incredible yourself. You sent me the chips I needed perfectly. We make a great team."

Xypher nodded as Merrill looked around the battlefield.

"OH, Merrill! Get that GMD!"

With out hesitating, Merrill turned, and dashed over to the GMD. He slowly and carefully reached out to touch it in an attept to open it.

"I wonder what's inside?"

[Y]
The GMD popped open, revealing ZENNY!

Rewards: 900z
[OOC: Sorry for the Delay. Life decided to kick me in the butt. Requested information on HeatShot to update my profile.]

Merrill and Xypher both let out an air high five, after the GMD opened to reveal zenny.

"Wow! That's awesome!"

Merrill nodded.

"I know! Between deleting viruses for money and collecting the mystery data, that's not a bad job..."

Xypher nodded.

"Yeah.. No wonder dad and his mysterious navi worked collecting mystery data and deleting Viruses all the time, even not while at work..."

Merrill resumed walking along the grass, studying the navis that passed by, at the new city, and everything else that was to be offered...

[REQUEST BATTLE 3!]
[[url=http://s10.zetaboards.com/RockmanChaosNetwork/forum/62022/]Note: Battlechip info can be found here.[/url]]

As Merrill continued on, a Bunny hopped up to the Navi. This Bunny didn't seem like an aggressive virus though. It was carrying a wicker basket with many eggs inside. The Bunny stopped near Merrill, stuck a ear into the basket, and presented the Navi with a green mystery data in the shape of an egg.

TAKE THE GIFT AND OPEN GMD: Y/N?

After delivering the present, the Bunny hops off.
Merrill's face lit up in surprise. He wasn't expecting that. He smiled and gave the bunny a little bow, in thanks.

"Happy Easter!" He managed to speak, before the bunny vanished. Xypher too, managed to also speak.

"Happy Easter, Easter Bunny!" Xypher said quickly.

Merrill slowly raised his hand to the GMD, in an attempt to open it.

[Y]
The GMD opens to reveal...

... A battlechip!

GET: LeafShield

Quote (LeafShield)

Protection: Next non-fire attack, heal for half damage
Accuracy: S
Description: Leafy barrier deflects next attack and heals, destroyed by fire.
Duration: Until destroyed or hit.
Element: Wood
Special: Status Guard: This chip blocks debuffs.
Xypher was shocked when the mystery egg was opened to reveal that battle-chip. A powerful one indeed.

"Merrill, this is an amazing chip! Deflects an oncoming attack, AND allows you to heal yourself as well!"

Merrill threw his hand up in victory.

"That is amazing. That's one we'll have to save for an emergency."

Xyph nodded.

"Are you still up for adventuring around the city Merrill? Your health status and everything seems to be in near perfect condition still."

Anyone who knew Xyph knew that he was inventive, and knew he had talents when it came to programs and numbers. He had custom-built his own version of a status program to monitor everything about Merrill's status: a meter that displayed data statuses about nearly anything/everything related to Merrill, one that calculated how many times Merrill had been hit, and the approximate damage that it had done to Merrill's data, and where the damage was located. He had coded sensors into Merrill's Sigil that allowed him to monitor heart rate, pulse, "Energy" [The electromagnetic ions and other very technical information"] that occurred within Merrill's body as well as the output when Merrill used one of his Signature abilities. Finally a system that double checked for any bug's that may have wormed their way into Merrill's data. All on his Father's mysterious laptop...

"Yeah, Xyph. I feel good to keep going. Besides, where there are viruses doing harm, we must stop them like Dad did."

Xyph nodded as Merrill continued his stroll through the street.

As he passed a nearby navi, he overheard her talking about the infected Viral Tower.

"-- The tower has only gotten worse. Some of the Viruses capture and eat/delete any navi that wonders by. The patrolling officers had been deleted partway up the tower, but they were unable to report the source of what was causing the programs inside to berserk and go viral... I hope that poor girl is alright inside..."

"Merrill."

"On it."

Without hesitating, Merrill turned and looked around, spotting the nearby ominous tower-like building instantly. He took off running towards the tower, jumping over a fence, and as he approached the road, he spread his wings to their full extent and beat them three times. Hard. With a jump, he catapulted himself over the length of the street, sprinting up to an alleyway that lead to the rear of the tower as the net police were sealing off the front exit. He went up towards the back-side door, and peeked inside. It was dark indeed, but he did not fear the dark. He entered and shut the door behind him quietly. He found a stairwell that marked itself B1. He drew one of his Swords, and proceeded cautiously up the stairs to the sign that said 1F. he opened the door, looking down another hallway with a pair of doors that staggered on both sides of the hallway, and a sign that lead to more stairs...

[requesting Battle 3!]
Merrill opened the door to reveal a half-dozen viruses waiting for him. Three Metools raised their pickaxes high and waved them around to the tune of an eerie song, sung by a note-shaped Melody virus, who was bouncing around. Two flaming-fisted Champu boxer viruses completed the mix. They teleported away from the main group to the outskirts of the room, flanking the doorway as Merrill stepped through to engage.

-Viruses-
MetoolA: 40HP [Room's Center]
MetoolB: 40HP [Room's Center]
