Powie Zowie [Nightshade and DragonierMan]

Well, it seemed it was once again time to get back to work. Nightshade hugged Aya before hopping off and hi-fiving Yumi, navi and sp bonding together again to take on the next set of viruses. Seeing as his sisters and dad had already went ahead and targeted the powies with their chips, Ayashade worked on the mudfishes.

First, he would materialize an electric chakram in his hand, flip and spin and hurl the thing at the first fish in sight. Then, using Yumi's ability, he would blits the second one in a flash, split into two to weave around and strike with his own claws.

Action 6: Dodge

Yumi 1: Yumi Defense 1 [Yumi]
Yumi 2: Dodge.

Under assault, the team sprang to battle swiftly. More swiftly, in fact, than any of the approaching viruses really seemed to be expecting: Aya and Suzume blasted the group of on-coming powies with twin tank shells before any of them could hop away, cutting the battle in half in an instant.

While Drago summoned yet another ally to the field, and sent it warping forward into the mud pit, Nightshade followed their cue and backed the sword-wielding summon up with electrical ranged support. As the Swordy swung at the two Mudfeesh in the pool, it missed one, but the other was struck by Nightshade's electrical attack and was stunned long enough for the Swordy's blade to finish it off. The mud churned the Swordy swung about, focusing on the remaining virus, but Magistrate eliminated it with a dispassionately precise thunder beam from afar.

Thee was a moment of quiet as the field was clear, before the rumbling in the ground started up again, and more bursts of mud began to erupt from the sand all around them. The dragoniers raised their defences and moved up and back to survey the field, while Nightsahde and Yumi protected themselves as well, taking up more central position near the summoned Swordy while they prepared for further attack.

It came a moment later in the form of a large RainGear, bursting up from the mud directly in front of Nightsahde. It bubbled the mud and hissed a plume of dense fog as it glared at the feline navi. Off in the sea, to one side, tow other figures emerged, raiding their eyes above the water's surface; the looked like little viral ninjas, preparing for an amphibious assault.

-=Turn 2!=-

"We'll take the swiming ninjas, you three stay on shore and fight them as they come!" DragonierMan said as the four fliers vanished, shimmering into the aether once more. When they reappeared again, attempting to dodge any counter attack, they tried to get as close to the Genin as they could. The three dragonier women unsheathed their swords and struck at the ninjas, fulfilling the universe's samurai vs. ninjas quotient for today. Drago had a slightly different plan, and used the distraction of his three murderous companions to try to sneak in to snag one of the Genins' clothing with elongated, sharp bear claws. If he managed to grab the the slippery shinobi, a flex of his toned muscles would attempt to toss the virus at its companion.

Meanwhile, the Swordy3 joined YumiShade in stabbing and slashing the enemy Raingear. It tried to teleport around its rain and get into a tactically sound spot for it to swipe its sword. The azure blade lanced out to pierce the fluffy cloud virus, hacking at its bushy body like hedge clippers, or like a machete through the jungle.

The four dragoniers took to the sky after delivering their attacks. As they flew, they reapplied the various defenses they had probably lost in the struggle with the Genin. It wasn't long until they returned to their previously claimed areas of the battlespace, flying high above the ground.

Nighty felt a tug on his body and a squeeze as he planted his tabi boots into the mud for more traction. He could feel his bond with Yumi grow deeper and deeper the more he wore her as his armor and fough together. So, the viruses seemed to just keep on coming. Well then they would keep on busting. They were attacking them with ninjas, but the Dragonieers could count on their own Ninja as well. With Aya's training and Yumi's insticts, there was no way Nighty could lose.

He would mobe on at the next target, quickly using the added mobility of his tabi boots to skim acrouss the mud and jump onto the swordy's head as a trampoline. He would then pounce the RainGear virus ready to rip him to shreds. He made a mental note to tell Aya that she was right. Her boots were hella comfy and nice if you had to run around alot.

The team were comfortable and confident as more viruses showed up, and the dragoniers teleported in close in an attempt to take the ninjas by surprise. It's often hard to sneak up on a ninja, however, even with teleportation. As soon as Drago arrived, one of the Genin turned and flung a spread of knives both at him, and at Aya; the cross-field teleport helped make Drago a harder target, but he still had one knife scratch against his outer most defence. Aya, meanwhile, received two hits, which managed to collapse her barrier completely for now.

Aya appeared just a moment behind her leader, but sparked another spray of knives from the other ninja as she arrived. This time Drago caught three of the small projectiles, while Aya's blurring form only got nicked by one. The result was that Drago had lost both of his defences, while Aya was down her barrier. Already committed, Suzume arrived a fraction of a second after, and the first ninja retaliated with a broad sweep of is moonblade, trying to hit all three of them. Drago was the largest target and got clipped, though it was only a scratch, while the twins managed to avoid the blade.

When magistrate arrived fourth, the second Genin also spun its blade about, trying to tag as many of the assailants as it could. It missed Drago and Aya, and Magistrate's warping form was too indistinct in the moment for it to land a blow there, but Suzume caught the edge of the blade, wearing it on her barrier.

As this happened, Nightshade and the summoned Swordy were focused on the mud pit in the centre and the aggressive RainGear. Nightshade moved in with Yumi, evasive as he closed, while the Swordy warped in directly, but as they arrived, the virus seemed to exhale, and lifted a thick column of water and mud from beneath the entire mud pit, buffeting everyone. It wasn't enough to break through Nightshade or Yuni's protections, and the Swordy seemed sturdy and unperturbed. Night attacked first, tearing into the virus, before the Sword finished it off with a stroke of its own.

Back out in the water, the two Genin seemed to have exhausted themselves in the opening seconds, trying to respond to their foes, ad now were at the mercy – or lack thereof – of the dragoniers. Drago led the attack, smashing one effortlessly into the other, before his supports descended on the pair with blades of their own to put an end to the sneak viruses.

As they flew quickly back to their corners and refreshed their defences, a larger eruption fountained a veritable school of piranhas into the air, before they fell back into the growing mud-lake. There wasn't a lot of sand left between the spreading pool and the actual sea now – it would probably break through soon.

-=Turn 3!=-

"You guys are doing great. Here, heal up!" Aya said as she tossed a recover battlechip at the fused pair. She then looked at the nicked DragonierMan. "We got this boss, you stay there and get healed up for the next round. Let's go girls!" Aya shouted out as the three warped towards the school of Piranha, swords gleaming. Drago also warped, but kept to the same sector of space high above the increasingly muddy beachfront. He dodged and weaved around in the air, as he pulled out and drank some healing concoction he got from his belt.

The three dragonier women and the lightly-wounded Swordy3 joined YumiShade with blades drawn, and advanced upon the three Piranha. The Swordy3, unafraid for its own safety, came straight at the school of Piranha, taunting them. Piranhas were known to go after one target at a time with all their ferocity. But the Swordy3 knew it was still very healthy, and could take the beating. Using the distraction, its three companions tried to slip around the flanks of the Piranha and hack them to death with the help of YumiShade.

Assuming the Swordy3 survived the Piranhas' assault, it would slowly fade away as the three dragoniers took to the sky. It gave a salute with its sword, as the warriors took back their positions high above the battlefield, refreshing their defenses once more. Drago returned the salute with his glowing claws. "You have served us well friend. I will call on you again soon."

Seeing as they were making quick work of the viruses showing up,Nightshade took a moment to heal up and top off his energy reserve with the chipdata Aya gave him. He would then stretch and adjust his tabi boots a little before getting back into the swing of it. He literally jumped in the mud and made sure to switch terrains to something more favorable before attacking relentlessly with his claws. Well...Yumi's claws, considering he was wearing the small fluffy wyvern as his battle armor.

Yumi 1: Dodge
Yumi 2: Dodge

Nightshade and Drago both topped themselves off, restoring themselves to full strength before rejoining the fray, but the time it took the newly arrived Piranhas to find and settle on a target together was all it took for Aya, Suzume, Magistrate and their temporary Swordy ally to cut the newest arrivals mostly apart. Nightshade and Yumi threw themselves into the mix at the last moment, helping to clean up, before sealing over the spilling mud pit with a broad spread of magnetic panels.

That seemed to stop the geyser from below, certainly, and it seemed as though the beach might finally get back to a semblance of calm, excepting the large circle of magnetic ground, but despite their efforts, more viruses were gradually making their way towards the shore from the ocean. To be fair on the party of hunters, they couldn't exactly be expected to stay and fight the entire ocean; it seemed like this particular problem was now handled, and they could move on, if they wanted, knowing that they'd done their part, for this stretch of beach at least.

All players may choose to escape at any point, with guaranteed success, and will receive full spoils for the battle and for all viruses defeated. Players may remain to hunt viruses for additional rounds if desired.

"The main problem has been dealt with," Magistrate stated as YumiShade stoppered the Mud geyser with Magnets (How do they work?). "It is time to leave this area and hunt elsewhere." Suzume shook her head in disbelief. "They just keep coming!" she shouted. "Is this another Spawn situation? We don't even have one of those V-Eliminators."

"I don't think so," Aya replied. "From what we heard, that comes from special viruses. This just looks like normal virus propagation."

"Let's go kids," DragonierMan called to YumiShade. "Suzume, Aya, give us some covering fire! Drago called out as he and Magi started moving out of the area. Suzu and Aya turned and shot a few warning buster shots at the ocean, causing small eruptions of water in front of the enemy to cover for the withdraw.

[Use guaranteed success escape.]

"Right!" Yumishade nodded, a couple of backflips transitioning to full hopps only to jump up and over to where his sibligs and dad were. Better skedaddle before things get too out of hand!

[Free Escape]

With the main problem plugged for now, the group safely moved on, ready to seek further battles and rewards. The remaining viruses didn't give chase, instead bobbing back down into the sea before the hunt team could take any further objection to their presence.

Everyone quickly gathered their rewards and regrouped a few blocks away. "Good work so far. We have destroyed a large number of enemies today, with more to come," he stated. He then looked at his arm bracer, which popped up a digital clock window showing the time. "Even with that endurance match, are making good time. I think we can go for another few battles before we wrap up for the day."

He chuckled. "By the time we are done, it will take them a long time to repopulate. Even with their seemingly endless numbers." He turned to address YumiShade. "You up for another two-to-three battles?" he asked them as he scanned the horizon for the next challenge.

[Requesting Battle 3.]

Yumishade was currently busy huggling the living hell out of Suzume, but from the way he was showing her how cool his uniform was and how nice Aya's old tabi boots he was wearing felt during combat it would be easy to tell he would have to go through a good few more battles before all tht energy would be used up.

[Requestig battle 3]

((+1FXP))

The party moved on, combing the beach and keeping an eye out for their next collection of bounty viruses. The light breeze settled down to still air before long and the warmth of the sun became a more pointed summery heat. They found themselves moving away from the beach itself, slightly, crossing a low point in the dunes and moving through meandering board paths, set on a mixture of sandy sprawl and scattered grassy verges, always with the regular, rhythmic crash of the beach waves not too far off to the right, just out of sight.

They'd only travelled a short way before a second background sound began to join the first; the gentle rush or running water. The path they were on led in short order out to a broad spring. It looked constructed, more like a water feature or miniature park, perhaps for navis who didn't feel like going in the ocean itself? It was made up of a broad moat of water, maybe waist deep on someone like Nightshade, with a grass-covered island in the centre. The island had three structures – tall, mushroom-shaped fountains, with a single pillar each supporting a wide caps. Each one flowed with water, creating a spray about the area, and more solid water curtains cascading down from the 'cap' of each fountain. The largest one in the centre was four or five nightshades tall, and its cap covered the majority of the central island, sheltering it from the sun, while the two smaller ones nestled under its shade, only about two nightshades tall each, closer to the edges of the island.

The idyllic little water park was, unfortunately, not vacant at the moment. A couple of aquatic viruses occupied one side of the outer pool – a starfish, and one with a spiralling shell. Perched on the top of the largest fountain, barely in sight, a Walla seemed to be enjoying the water flowing about it, though it seemed to be risking scratching the structure with its large tusks. A pair of Powies had just hopped into sight from between the dunes, to the back left of where the hunting party emerged, but taking absolute pride of place was the massive, massive polar bear that had seated itself in the middle, with its back pressing heavily against the central pillar, which creaked with ominous complaint. the virus, if it was a virus, barely fit under the structure, and would easily about twenty feet tall, if it stood up on its hind legs fully. It seemed to be trying to escape the heat, but gave a ground-shaking roar of challenge as Drago, Nightshade and the rest of their band showed up.

As the sound faded away and the creature rocked forward onto its feat with a grumble, and blur of motion caught the group's attention. Darting between the dunes, to emerge on the left of the water park, a small figure was made to look even more diminutive alongside the gigantic bear. She was perhaps three feet tall at best, including the height of a set of soft rabbit ears rising from either side of her head, and was covered in short, white fur wherever it showed beneath a festive, yet beach-appropriate outfit. There wasn't a lot to it, but enough to be reservedly decent – a red chest band, made of light swim-suit material was trimmed with white and had patterns of snowflakes across it, along with a pair of round seasonal puddings patterned on the front in an impressionistic style. She was also wearing a denim skirt that was lightly pleated and had seasonal messages written on it in red and white glittery text. The only other piece of clothing seemed to be a slim sun visor, that converted into a light, fluttering, floppy, santa-cap, nestled between her ears, and coming to a point with a bright red pom-pom part way down her back.

As she came to a halt at the edge of the water, a small rabbit tail could be seen in brief flashes at the back of her skirt, and along with her other visible features, it would be hard to describe her as anything other than a bunny girl of some sort. She had a small wicker basked looped over one arm but looked around the area with a sharp, blue gaze while one hand rustled around inside it. It was a figure that Drago himself might recognise, though the last time he and his SPs had seen the bubbly gift-giver it had been in a much more hostile network. She paused and stopped rummaging in her basket to clap her hands when she saw the massive Kodiak.

“Oh! You guys found a big one!!” The voice was soft and high-pitched, as might be expected, but it managed to avoid being squeaking or shrill. After a moment she shook her head and pulled a small crystal out of the basket, flipping it onto the ground beside her at the edge of the water. It rapidly expanded into a full sized mystery data.

“Hey there, sorry, business first, hehe. Seasonal greetings and all that! Lot of you in this group! Don't worry, there's enough for everyone, and it's all safe and guaranteed not locked or trapped. Whew...” She flopped down on the ground and kicked her feet in the water, seemingly unperturbed by the increasingly irate viral presence.

“I'm going to stay and watch this one. It gets hot running the beaches, and the water here is really nice...” She glanced briefly at DragonierMan and raised a curious eyebrow, then looked at the rest of his party, her eyes settling for the last few moments on Nightshade and his SP. “If you need help, give me a shout, okay? I shouldn't, but there's been a huge Powie overload out on the beach today... it's driven a bunch of newbies away... going to have to fix that later. Ugh... Oh well.”

The Kodiak roared again, unhappy about being ignored, but the bunny girl just leaned back on her hands and splashed her feet in the water.

[103/120 FXP]

Suzume gave out a little squeak as she was set upon by YumiShade. "My, you two are always so affectionate. It must be multiplied when you two are fused," she said as she patted their back. "Now keep your wits about you, we are moving along and have to be careful for any surprises." Suzume gently extracted herself from YumiShade's hug before the group continued their trek.

---

It wasn't long before the group traveled further inland and came upon a tiny waterpark. Magistrate smirked as she surveyed the area, thinking back to Keep's Castle, and how they converted that into a water park. However, it seemed that this place was infested with viruses. Viruses that were playing around in it like normal navis. Strangely enough, one of them looked like a polar bear, which was well out of place in a beach environment. DragonierMan returned the ground-shaking roar of challenge it bellowed, though the navi's voice wasn't nearly as strong.

But before it could come to blows, a small bunny girl appeared in festive attire. She looked familiar, but Drago was having a tough time placing her. Suzume and Aya, much more astute and with sharper minds, gave an affirmative nod to the bunny girl Prose. "Well, if it isn't trapped, we can get it off the playing field right away," Aya said as her form shimmered and disappeared. She appeared right beside the GMD and placed her hands on the polyhedron, attempting to open it. She looked over at Prose. "This is about to get messy. You should probably move to a safe distance."

"YumiShade I want you to take the bear," DragoDad told his adoptive son, pointing at the Kodiak V1 Meta-virus. "I think you two can do it. We'll keep the others off your back," he said as the rest of them shimmered and disappeared. Drago appeared next to the Walla and brought down a massively sharp, glowing bearclaw to slash through the thick hide of the beast. It was possible for the Walla to block the navi's attack with its own tusks, but that was a risk Drago was willing to take.

Meanwhile, Magistrate and Suzume had teleported directly above a pair of viruses each. Glowing golden orbs appeared around Magi again as she unleashed her accurate trio of ThunderBeams to strike at the aquatic viruses in the pool. The third of the three beams lanced off somewhere to deal with one of the other nearby viruses. Seeking out worthy prey to devour. Suzu appeared above the Powies and dropped slimey blobs of MetaGel upon them, taking advantage of the fact that they tended to fly before they dropped. The third of the trio of viscous gel dropped on one of the other viruses. It was kind of hard to tell during the massive brawl that was starting to form in the previously peaceful waterpark.

After attacking, the four dragoniers split up and dashed away into the air, taking their places above the battlefield once more. Defenses layered themselves around them as they glided in a circle above the battlefield, waiting to see how the initial attack fared. They jerked from side to side if they saw attacks coming in their direction. They attempted to dodge and weave through the storm of counterfire.

---

---

And another battle is a go! Yumishade nodded and went to work. So, this time it was going to be a bigger virus. Alright. Nothing too fancy. Just need to smack him dead like the rest.

Ayashade raised his guard up and rushed over to the target. On approach,he would use the grassy field to his advantage. Better destroy that. After that, switch up terrain to somethig more his taste and then just attack relentlessly. That meant clawing the ever living hell out of it.

Nighty had never seen the thing before, but if people taught him: If it bleeds we can kill it!

As battle started to break out, Aya warped across to where Prose was kicking her feet in the water. The diminutive figure grinned up at her as Aya accessed the data directly, causing its contents to unpack and circle about her, pending a formal transfer until after combat routines were disengaged. A she did so, however, the Kodiak let out a final bellow of challenge, determined to out-shout DragonierMan's return challenge. This roar made the whole water park shake and tremor, and every navi and sp in the area felt a paralysing jolt run through them, causing flinches and momentary disorientation. Prose kicked to her feet while Aya felt the debilitating stun flood her for a moment, before the bunny-girl's fingertip booped her nose, accompanied by a quiet giggle. Immediately, the stun subsided.

“Well, I was going to keep it safe for all of you, but I guess that means I can help out a little, huh?” she glanced out to where the others were pushing through their own stuns and beginning to obliterate the viral presence with zeal. “Eh... not that you guys need it... Say... when're you and the big guy planning on hitting the chaos? A vacation up here like this is great and all, but the work down there always needs more strong hands...” Watching the battle unfold, she seemed relaxed and casual, despite the wroth growling and raging of the massive virus a few feet away.

As the delivery girl chatted to Aya, Drago, Magistrate and Suzume all warped into position while Nightshade and Yumi prepared their defences together and made ready to charge the central target. The nautilus drew a foaming barrier about itself, then blasted a marching column of water towards the Yumishade duo; with the water of the pool fuelling its attack, the jets of water burst up with lamentable speed; the duo did their best to dodge away from it, but Nightshade himself still took the brunt of one blast, which stripped away his outer most layer of defence.

The Walla glanced up in a panic as Drago appeared above it, and launched both of its tusks in an almost cross-eyed state. One lanced up towards Drago, but missed him as he arrived from his warp. the other darted down towards the left side of the field, to where Aya and prose were standing; the bunny girl tilted her head slightly and the tusk crumpled and disintegrated a few inches out from her head. Drago attacked the fear-stricken Walla with his claws, but an ill turn of luck saw it throw itself bodily off the large mushroom towards the water below, in an attempt to get away from him.

Eager to play to a terrain advantage, Nightshade shook off the hit he'd taken and launched a heat shot at the Kodiak in front of him; it wasn't a particularly well-aimed shot, but fortunately for the fused duo, the bear was large and easy to hit. The grass ignited and drew a satisfying bellow of discomfort from the creature, though it didn't so much as flinch or move back at all. It took a step forward, in fact, raising its claws ready to tear apart the little creature that dared attack it directly.

A short distance away, the starfish was dealing with a similar situation to the Walla, shocked by the surprise proximity of one of its foes. It immediately started blowing bubbles, attempting to catch magistrate as she appeared, or at least put some kind of barrier between her and it, but ultimately its efforts were to no avail. Magistrate avoided the single bubble that would have been on target for her, before zapping it with a level of overkill that was vaguely becoming the unwilling SP's signature style. Also victims of Magistrate's fury were the nearby Nautilus, whose bubble barrier did nothing at all to save it, as well as the unfortunate Walla, who got electrocuted mere moments after escaping from Drago's claw attack.

On the other side, Suzume prepared an attack of her own, lining up with the two Powies and dropping large gooey gel blobs onto the pair just as they leapt upwards, right into them. The third blob dropped into the middle of the pool, more or less; it may have been aiming for a virus, but whatever it had been directed at, it missed by a wide margin.

Back in the centre of the water park, the Yumishade duo rushed into close the distance tot he kodiak, and slashing it with their own much smaller claws. The attack hit, though it felt like a very small scratch on such a large creature. The Kodiak responded by reaching back, wrapping both claws about the central shaft of the middle water fountain, and then uprooting it entirely to bring the whole of the large structure structure smashing down on top of the pair. Unable to tell where one began and the other ended, this time it was Yumi who took the force of the blow, as it crushed through her barrier and ripped apart her casing as well. The pair were smashed bodily into the ground and knocked flat under the destroyed ruins of the fountain, but a moment later a ripple of magnetic panels spread out from them, replacing the water with something more suitable to electric types.

Drago and his SPs zipped up and away, taking an aerial view of the scene and getting ready for their next move, while Nightshade and Yumi picked themselves up and came out of the rubble swinging. the zeal and enthusiasm was admirable, but unfortunately they seemed to be striking blind in those first few seconds after getting back to their feet; their swipes went wide and failed to connect with the great bear.

Aya looked at Prose as the stun subsided, one eyebrow arched in question. "Thanks... for the assist," she said, slowly, with a pause. Her leathery wings fluttered a little. "You didn't really need to though. I have this well under control." Aya then waved a hand in front of her body and a vid-window popped up near Prose:

Quote (Signatures)

Aya's Aegis 2: 20HP Barrier + 20HP Casing + Movement. [2 TCD]. Available.

"As you can see at the end there, I am quite capable of dealing with the odd status effect," Aya said with a little hint of pride.

She then listened as Prose asked her about Chaos Net. "Given how busy we have been with helping out the Neo-Shoguns and training others, we haven't had a lot of time to go spelunking into the Lower Nets," Aya replied. She then noted one of the Walla's attacks disintegrating near Prose. Probably a barrier or something. "We might have some room open later if you want to go for a deeper dive," Aya commented to Prose. It was clear with how she was acting that Prose could take care of herself.

Then her eyes twitched for a moment as she thought of something. "... Hold that thought. You're help just now does free me up to do this!" she said before spreading her wings and flying off. She decided to activate that very same recovery signature she had just shown Prose, but directed it at YumiShade in a beam of light. Suzume suffered through the Stun before using her own healing signature to break the second part of the YumiShade duo out of their Stun as well. DragonierMan and Magistrate decided to use their own recovery on themselves. The better movement allowed them to attempt to avoid attacks from the remaining Kodiak V1 while they strategized.

The dragoniers cheered from above as YumiShade fought the polar bear. They waited for them to spar a few rounds before bringing their own fire to bear. Drago shot from the sky like a comet and attempted to smash into the Kodiak V1. Aya teleported away. And Magistrate fired precision energy blasts down upon the virus.

When Aya appeared again, she was in melee range. She drew a shining sword clad in a bright emerald light, and thrust it into the back of the giant meta. Drago squared up and jabbed his own brilliant golden first at the meta's face. And the two other dragoniers barraged it from above with more cannon fire.

Thankfully for Yumishade, his family was always watching over him, making sure he would have room to train and make mistake but still be relatively safe and sheltered.

Now, there would be time to be grateful later. The bear was his game, it would not be right not finishing his job. He wanted to make both fater and siblings proud. So, Yumishade was quick at his feet and schemes again, still wanting to make good use of his claws. Blue scales spread further down the navi's arms, down to the elbows. Apparently, the two had been watching and learning from their wardens.Their transformation was still quite crude and unrefined, also helped by the chip they were using, compared to Aya's and Suzume's dragonic look but Yumishade's arms had actually become dragon claws. More over it seemed they were pulsating with Yumi's water powers as the little wyvern finally managed to properly channel some of her strenght through the bond they shared.

Yumishade launched once more at the metavirus, baring his claws ready to block and protect himself from the virus' attack. Three more swipes, each one in auick succession. After that, some more dragon themed attacks thanks to another much more powerful chip in the young navi's arsenal.

Yumi 1: Yumi defence 2
Yumi 2: 20 aqua damge at bear

The stunning roar from the Kodiak might normally have caused other navis a problem, but within moments those that could had already shaken it off, and those that couldn't do so received help from allies. Drago and his crew held back, however, readying themselves but giving their charge a chance to end the fight with his own strength.

As Aya explained herself and zipped away to rejoin her formation, their spectator held her response until things were calmer, and settled back against a tree to watch. Her eyes focused mostly on Nightshade and Yumi, carefully watching the duo as they faced off against their monumental foe.

With an audience of several cheering him on, nightshade began assaulting the Kodiak again, launching himself and Yumi at it. His strikes were a little wild, but they managed to be accurate enough to hit the gigantic bear. It roared again as they met, sending another stunning tremor through the air, before attempting to rend Nightshade and Yumi in turn with its own claws. The exchange was brief and violent, but the bear couldn't get through all of Nightshade's defences despite its efforts. When the smaller fighter pulled back long enough to launch his final attack, the draconic-themed fire snake wrapped around the bear an immolated it in a large burst of fire.

Despite this, however, when the fire cleared, the virus was still standing, rearing up and roaring in pained defiance. It was badly burned and barely standing, but it wasn't backing down. Just before Drago and his team were forced to step in, however, a final burst of motion and energy from Yumi brought Nighty's claws around in one last slash that cut the roar short into a low moan. Silence for a moment, and then the massive creature tumbled forward into the pool with a resounding crash.

As the mostly-intact beach-side pool returned to peacefulness, the sound of small hands clapping came from the side of the area, where the outside guest was on her feet again, grinning as she applauded.

Drago and his team had no further need of their readied weapons and were able to stow them again and collect their rewards. Meanwhile, Prose splashed playfully across the shallow water to approach Nightshade and look between him and the rapidly breaking down remnants of the Kodiak.

“Nice job there. You did really well!” She nudged him in the shoulder and winked, giggling. “Both of you! A little stronger every day, right?” She leaned in a little closer and gave the duo a faux conspiratorial grin. “You keep on battling and busting, and one day you'll probably even give the big guy a run for his money.” She skipped back again, then waved to the others.

“I'm not really meant to get involved in the fighting when there are others around. I'm kinda meant to keep contact to a minimum, really... I kind of don't play nice with navis, except in little short dates like this... It'd be a bad idea for me to fight with others around... but I figure, as long as I don't actually do any of the offence stuff, it's probably okay, right?” She shrugged and splashed her feet in the water again. “Still, if you don't mind that, and you wanted to do something when I'm off the clock, we might be able to work something out. I do a lot of things, for a lot of important reasons.” she paused and folded her arms. “And yes, giving out presents to netbattlers is important!” the pout only lasted a moment before she continued. “I'm always busy, but I can probably find time if you wanted to... I just might have to do some work while I play, a bit. It's just how it goes.” She shrugged her shoulders and made a point of shaking herself out and stretching.

“Anyhow, I've still got a few deliveries left on my list for today, but I'm almost at the end of it. Once that's done, I'm going to have to sort out this Powie problem too... rest when you're dead, right?” For the last bit, she grinned again, doing her best to show the jest in the phrase rather than anything more serious.
