Delivery

As CastMan followed the normal navi, confident that he had finally caught the one he was looking for, he was alarmed to see the navi's appearance upon closer view. The navi spun on one heel as CastMan approached, revealing itself to be a brown normal navi with a fake mustache across its upper lip. Its thin mouth seemed to be perpetually open, showing white teeth that look unnatural in the face of a normal navi; it was possible that these were fake as well. "Hello, my good man! Why, this is the first time we're meeting! Our very first meeting, I'd say!" the navi greeted Castman, grabbing hold of his hand and shaking it furiously.

"Well, aren't you pretty as a peach! A peach! Pretty as a peach, I'll say!" he chuckled, holding up a large brown brief-case. Fiddling with the lock for a second, he opens it wide, revealing a great many chips. "I'm a salesman! A chip salesman! I am a salesman, that's what I call myself," the navi laughed, closing back the briefcase and setting it down. "I'd like to sell you something, or have you buy something, or even give you a bargain," the man spoke quickly, thumbing his mustache. "Alas, I have more pressing matters, more things to tend to, and more obligations to uphold. But, before I go, I could offer you this," he muttered, producing a chip slyly from his briefcase. "This's a special chip, not sold in stores, extremely valuable. The chip summons a powerful gun to your arm; it replaces your hand with a cannon; it puts a lot of projectile power right in your palms! How's about it, old boy? Would you buy it for 15000 zenny? Maybe 10000? Howzabout 8000? Now there's a sale! I'll just take it from your account, if you'll ask your op to kindly hand it over," he laughed, patting CastMan on the back. The man was obviously a con-artist, and an annoying one at that.

--TRY CHALLENGING STAGE!--
" hmm....let me think about it, need to discussed with my netop.... " answered Sage politely, but full of awareness....he sense evil sorrounding that salesman.... " NO PEEKING!!! " warned Cast, with a 'stop' sign as well....

" hey, is this really the place? " Cast questioned, demand confirmations rather than answers....

Sage opened back the data he received earlier, looking for 'MAP' icons.... " yep, this is the place.... " replied Sage, while looking at the map....a red dot and blue dot appeared at the same place....

" so, where's that navi??? " another question for Sage....

" I don't know but, I'd to belive that something like this happened....listen!, that navi....disguised as the NormlNav that you're looking for and maybe he had been spying on you since the beginning, with a bit of luck....he managed to found the NormlNav we're looking for before you does....do not accept the bargin, it's a SCAM!....my old netnavi becomes a victim from this kind of people, once....you can't run because he'll force you to purchase that fake items....BELIEVE what I said, that's the truth and i've been confront with them since the 1st day I worked at this office.... " briefly Sage explained the real situation....

" are you suggesting me to fight??? " Cast gave his opinions....slowly without unseen or undetacted by anyone, he charged his magic wand as preparations....who knows what will the Salesman do, Cast will attack before the Salesman does something first....

" kinda....but you won't had problems with him, aren't you.... "

" I hope not...besides, our job is not done yet.... " Cast determined to fight that scammer....he disconneted the line and talks the Salesman Navi.... " i've made my final decision, i'll buy that.... " he paused for a moment, but he continually charged his wand.... " with THIS! ", Cast sprang the Salesman with a fully charged energy blast named 'napalm beat'.... " Sage, operate me well! " shouted Cast while trying to get out from the blast's impact because he released it too close....

" no need to say it, I will! " Sage dislikes it, when Cast said that....he slot-in a cannon chip in the meantime....

Cast's arm began to unite with the wand and becomes one, forming a bulky green cannon at his arm....he sighted the Salesman, launced the projectile inside the cannon attached to his arm towards the NormlNav....Cast seemed a bit hasty, maybe he don't want the mustache-man make his movement.... " here's another! " shouted Sage, inserts the 2nd chip....cannon to be exact, but Cast holds it....he want to observe the NormlNav, " it's useless to attacked blindly and forcefully while I don't know what is that navi could possibly do....I'd better observe him, let that scammer attack and i'll try dodge it.... " Cast creates his game plan, stopped attacking all out....

The salesman reeled back from the attack, holding his mustache to his face with two fingers but managing to maintain his balance. The way he managed to stay upright made it hard to believe he could be any sort or ordinary salesman. "Hey, if that's the way you want to play, let me show you my trump card! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve! I've got a few humzingers that are going to knock you off your feet and leave you senseless, ha ha!" the navi laughed, reaching in to his briefcase briefly and summoning a green clunky cannon weapon to one arm. He took good aim, but CastMan found that he was able to dodge the projectile with relative ease. "Curses, it failed! It flunked! No way no how that's going to work! I should have brought some tougher chips, bigger weapons, and more greater guns!" the navi coughed, swinging his briefcase and knocking CastMan once across the face with his briefcase. The force of the swing was more powerful than CastMan had expected, but didn't manage to knock him off his feet.

Salesman Navi: 220 HP

CastMan: 75 HP
Cast got slapped by the flat sucface from the salesman's briefcase from aside, the immense power from the normal navi hurts Cast very much but it's not enough to bring him down to earth....he rubbed his face with left arm that is unequipped with weapons.... " huh, I expect that something like real-world nuclear weapon would bounced on me....and I've just wasted my evasion for that, so much of your fancy words....really you ashmed at yourself! " he shouted at the SalesMan while firing the second cannon that he's holding direct towards the SalesMan's head....Cast did an excellent job, react very quick after his head got pawned....which a matter of fact, a heavy explosion occurs and followed by the atomic bomb-like sound....

unfortunately for Cast, he didn't have the time to escape from the blast's....he let himself aired on the sky, keep his head high.... " Sage! RingLog please.... " wanted Cast....Sage obey without asking or thinking, he also need to move fast....even a one second delay would be fatal....the bulky cannon begin to shapeshift, morphed into a head of the shrub.... " damn! a virus!!! " Cast freaked out, his hand vibrates....he's afraid to looked at his own hand, covered it with his left palm.... " you fool, that's the ringlog battlechip.... "

" so, this thing is not virus.... " he wondered....and don't stop blinking, looking at his flower hand....

Sage nodded his head.... " phew, that....really terrified me.... " Cast sighed....

The Salesman navi felt like he was neglected....he, shouts at Cast and try to get the enchanter's attention....thus he opened his briefcase.... " Cast, watch out! " Sage tries to warned....Cast noticed what's his enemy doing, he also made his movement....hurriedly he dashes, shorten the distance between him and the NormlNav and readied his weapon in the meantime....upon closing the gap, he strenghten his foot and made a high jump....attempt to use the ringlog chip from above, the shrub that attached to his hand spouted wooden logs from it's mouth....showered the battle field with pile of wood and with the help of gravity, Cast may got the upperhand....out of nowhere, Cast suddenly think about something that is kinda weird and it's not supposed to think about, " where the heck did those wooden logs came from??? "

perhaps for some reason, Sage downloaded a guard chip to support Cast....he realized it when his wand transformed into a guard, then Cast tried to split up his wand with the shield....the idea is to equipped his left arm with the shield while his wand holding the staff like usual for future uses, and maybe while shielding himself he'll march forward.... " nice combo done by you Cast, covered yourself with a fine and solid shield....in the meantime you're able to get closer, in additon the opportunity to sneak attack the salesman if he left any weak spot....thumbs up for you, matey! " Sage made some speculation of what will Cast do....

The Salesman navi grinned, moving his head agilely out of the way of the cannonfire and shaking one finger. "Tut tut tut! Tsk tsk tsk! Ho ho ho! That kind of maneuver isn't going to work on me," he laughed, bringing out a cannon of his own once more. He was, however, caught off guard by the incoming ringlogs, falling flat on his face as the attack rolled under his feet. "Hey, bub! Yo wiseguy! Have I got your attention now, buddy? I think it's time you ate a little of that for yourself!" he snickered, firing off his own cannon as he rose back off of his knee. His eyes widened in surprise, however, as the attack simply bounced back into his face by the effect of the guard that CastMan had summoned. Maintaining his grin, the Salesman navi coughed loudly. "Hurm! Aherm! Hack! I have something bigger, my friend, and I just remembered where I stashed it," the navi cackled, reaching back into his breifcase with a narrow grin still spread vertically up his round face.

((i'm in college now, cannot wrote long-RP....and, uhh, did I miss anything))

" Sage, this guy is though.... " Cast whines, he had difficulties to kill his enemy....he's terrified that the salesman might reveal his superweapon, and cast's running out of battlechip....he's only hope is Sage, his operator to come up with sneaky plan....

" calm down Cast, we got the advantages you know....I suggest that we escort all out attacks and if the possible wrost things are about to happen....retreat and we'll create a new plan.... " said Sage to Cast....moving his hand to the battlechip holder, picking a shotgun chip and slot-in into the reader....it seemed that Sage planned to transmit the shotgun chip to Cast....

Cast received the battlechip, his wand's glowing and it morphed into a blue painted barrel-gun....he readied his armory, holding the shotgun with his left hand as he run towards the salesman....he run very slow at the begining, and one at a time he quick up the pace, increasing his movement speed as well....once he reached the maximum velocity, he leapt to the sky....aiming his right-arm gun at the NrmlNavi, he quick charged and released the projectile inside the barrel....

he didn't stop there, as soon as his wand revert to it's old self....he gathered all the energy that stored inside the magical orb that attached to his wand....moments later, Cast managed to create a vortex and it's circled him....dusts flew everywhere and some got sucked into the vortex....Cast finally reached the final stage, the only thing left is to compact the energy and then....send it to the SalesMan....the energy shot that was released by Cast cannot be seen by human eyes but it can be ....

" what now?!!! " Cast questions, he's dumbfounded....

" take this, use it....better, abuse it.... " Sage gave his last and the only battlechip he had, a rageclaw....

what a buzy moment for Cast....before the energy blast collides, his magical staff changes it's shape to a sharp, metallic, thin claw....Cast tested it to it's own flesh, the pointy edge of the claw hurts him very much.... " why does this weapon always become Sage's final weapon of choice " Cast wondered as he attempt to grabbed his opponent with his left hand after he got caught up with him....then Cast stabbed the SalesMan multiple times....afterwards, he teleports himself behind his enemy and ragingly slashed his enemy....Cast focused on attacking the Salesman's body....he really hoped that this will really weakened the Salesman, he's looking very tired but try to hide it....

For another thing, I think I have a 5th battle miniboss on De-1337-ed's thread that somebody could pick up and help mod


((post by aimman on 20th may 2007))

so could someone please mod my battle, politely I asked....I DEMAND A MOD-SWAP....
((Sorry, I asked somebody to pick you up earlier, but apparently everyone forgot. I told people that this was among the things that needed to be picked up from my inactive period. >_<))

"Whoops! Not so fast there! You missed, sucker!" the salesman laughed, dodging out of Castman's way as the navi tried to nail him with a shotgun. "Here's a consolation prize, though! A going-away present! A little something from me to you!" he snickered, pulling out another cannon and shooting CastMan. As he came down to his feet, however, it turned out that CastMan wasn't finished, as the navi ended up being hit with a luminous energy attack and a claw, which left a painful looking gash up his armor. "It shouldn't have to come to blows, boy! I tried to be civil! I tried to be rational! I tried to be good-natured! But where did it get me? Where'd I end up? How's it going to play out? I should've listened to mommy when she told me that nice guys finished last!" the salesman ranted hypocritically, holding one hand over the gash with disdain.

Salesman Navi: 70 HP

CastMan: 55 HP
((nah, i'm alright....as long as you're here to MOD my battle))

cast looks very tired, he's at his limit....he had never been into this situation, even Sage can heard him breathed heavily....

" are you okay cast??? " Sage wanted to checked the caped navi's condition

" not really, but I think I can end this....right NOW! " cast replied....

he looked at his right-arm, attached to a sharp and thin claw....it's the only weapon that he had left, no time for him to wait for the energy wave to be recharged...everything needs to be end now, otherwise he'll get deleted....all his hope now relies on his rageclaw....despite having small amount of energy, he used all the strength that he had left to defeat the evil salesman, slashing the normalnavi diagonally, then he finger-stabbing his enemy twice....

suddenly his claw broke apart....morphed into the magic wand again....he took the risk by punching his opponent many times although he's not used to it, Cast knew that this will left him opened from any outcoming attacks....

((the punching was actually fluff, no real damage were dealt....))
"Haha!" the salesman laughed, dodging out of the way of the first claw slash. "That was some maneuver! A ritzy action! A motion with lots of pizzaz!" he snickered, but then suddenly was slashed down the other side of his body by CastMan's claw. "T-Take it easy buddy! Slow down! Don't be hasty!" he stammered, but Castman knew better than to be taken in by any kind of pity routine. With a final thrust of his rageclaw, Castman finally managed to shut up the chatty villain.

" huh, he escaped.... " Cast grumbles, he felt very frustrated....but he also felt relieved that the battle is over, he laid himself on the ground....remembering the dramatic fight between him and the salesman navi....if it isn't for Sage skill in operating him, he would've been dead.... " I guessed that I should changed the way I behaved to him " he thought....

suddenly, Cast get up from his nap....he heard footsteps, unsure whether it is enemy or friend, Cast readied his staff....and get alerted with his sorrounding....but, somehow Cast cannot feel the presence of the unknown objects....he turned and saw a normalnavi that look exactly as his opponent.... " heh, you think you can escape! " cast then bashed the normalnavi afterwards....but he missed, as the normal navi said " STOP!!! " he also looked very exhausted by the way....

" before I explained everything, wanted to say that I'm very sorry that I've caused you tons of problem....as you can see, i'm the REAL netnavi that you're looking....if you don't believe me, here's the image of my netOp.... " the normalnavi speaks, named himself Disco....

cast hold down his weapon, and act like usual.... " so, can you briefly explain what exactly happened?? "

" alright, I told you everything that happened from start.... " Disco paused, and then resumed.... " I was told by my netOp that someone will be arriving at my homepage, which is now....so I waited for that person....after hours of waiting, he finally arrived but he seemed suspicious and my guessed is right.... "

" let me try, is that damn salesman right??? " Cast cut it shortly....

" correct!, he disguised himself as you....then he try so scammed me, because i'm weaponless he beat me....then he tied me up and hold me there.... " he continued his explaination as he showed where he was hidden.... " the rest you can think it by yourself....and it seems that everything is over, here's some cash for all the trouble that i've caused.... " he navi resumed and transfer some money to castman's netOp....

" heh, it was nothing....oh by the way, here's the battlechip that your netOp wanted.... " Cast give the unknown battlechip to Disco....

" haha, you still remembered your mission right....no wonder my netOp requested the job to you, you do fit in for this job....tranfering and delivering data to others, thank you very much....I may need your help in the future....but for now, byebye....see you around soon.... " it was then, Disco jack-out from the net....

" well, should you jack out too.... " Sage asked his netnavi....

" yeah, i'm out of energy as well.... " he answered....

Castman.exe >>> jack-out
>>>Castman.exe - ACDC.net<<<

" Cast, find that guy quick....we need to teach him a lesson.... " Sage orders....

" uhh, but how....shouldn't you examined the information that was given by your boss.... "

" you're right, thanks for remind me.... "

as he awaits for Sage finishes reading the other part of the notes, he wondered around....hopefully he'll found a gang of metools....

((req. battle virii no.1))
You encounter a grab-bag vierity of virii.... How odd.

((Battle 1, BEGIN!!))
((college >>> assignment >>> busy >>> i forgot bout this site))

" uhh, awkward....this one is weird you know.... " Cast sighed....yet, he prepared himself, scouted the gang of virii....a metool currently holding it's pixelaxe, the two 'S' moved randomly while the immobile green tower try to marks Cast by aiming using cursor that installed inside the cannodumb....he tries to think a way to dispose them in single turn before the enemy make theirs....thus, he requested a shotgun chip....

" before you begin your fight, here's a little explaination from me....1st, i've removed the unique and fancy shape-shifting ability from your staff, instead I changed it with the summoning ability....and you can switch what battlechip you wanted to use, let's say that I inserted a shotgun, cannon and guard, so the sequence should be shotgun comes first, and the last one is guard....but, with the switching ability, you can choose which one to use first from the three that I inserted....let's give it a try, Castman.... " Sage give some guidance to Cast....

The caped navi nodded, Sage gave a quick response by triple slot-in cannon, ringlog and shotgun....Sage was right, the staff didn't changed it's shape....Cast noticed an icon appeared at the orb, "a cannon" he whispered, "but I want shotgun, damn Sage...." he's upset but later Cast found up that he actually can use shotgun before cannon, thanks to the switching system developed by Sage....he spotted a cannodumb, shielding a shrubby, Cast try to mark it....he summoned the shotgun but nothing happened, his staff didn't do any magic.... " did I perform it wrongly or the shotgun is here somewhere...." Cast puzzled, he looked at the sky and saw something shiny, bullet-like shape....the thing is approaching towards Cast, but appreantly not, it's heading to the cannodumb in light speed and boom!, creating a large explosion, not once but twice, causing everything become absolutely white.... " did the shot powerful enough to shut at least to of 'em?? " Cast wonders....

as soon as the flashbang effect are gone, Cast readied his second attack....focusing on the tiny virus with yellow helmet equipped on it's head, the met kept moving till it line up with Cast.... " you just don't know when to give up, do ya! " Cast had it enough, he uses cannon and like Sage told him a virus that look exactly like one of his enemy suddenly appeared, " this must be 'Summoning;Cannon', I think I can get along with the new technique.... " He orders the cannodumb to attack the met, and it obeyed Cast's command....launching a projectile directly to it's target, the 'friendly' cannodumb acts the same as the real cannodumb and not only that, it's appearance and looks very similar to the real one....though it still have differences, Cast's cannodumb dissapeared after making an attack....

unprepared for what comes next, the remaining virus already placed itself behind Cast and the ugly-looking virus already stick out it's tongue but somehow he managed to notice the existence of the ghost-like virus, " what's left for me??? " Cast questions himself while checking if there's anything that he can summoned, and looks like he does....quickly he summoned another object that took the shape of a shrubby....after the fake shrubby looks somewhat alive, it spouted a chunk of wooden log....moving and rolling continously till it came across with an object....after all is done, Cast is alone once again....

" i got a something to ask, why did you do many changes??? " Cast questioned, but there's no response from Sage....

" heh, I won.... "

that's all Cast could said, he didn't expect that all the viruses died in the first turn....

" what the HELL are you doing, get moving!!! " voiced Sage quite loud....

" errr, sorry....I'll get going right now....anyway, should I went straight or turn left, I kinda forgot where 'he' should be?? " Cast no longer daydreaming....focusing on completing his task....

-BATTLE 2-

" huh, here we go again...can I just run away and proceed to my main task?? " Cast try to beg for mercy....

" I was just about say that, but now I had to decline it coz the virus that attacked you was likely to be summoned, not appeared regularly like they supposed to.... "

" how did you know, and do you have any idea where it came from??? "

" not at all, but I have a theory....the guy that we're currently hunt somehow knew that somebody is chasing him.... "

" you mean us right.... " guessed Cast....

" exactly.... " Sage replied....

" so, he wanna play....i'm open for it, let's get things started....shall we Sage? "

the fight begins between Castman and a family of bunnies, aided by a blue wolf, named spikey....since the bunnies are elec, Sage transmit both ringlog chip to Cast....he received it once his staff goes bright for a moment....without any hesitation Cast used the first ringlog, summoning a shrubby, then the shrubby throws a wooden log that came from inside, then through his mouth....it continously rolling, meanwhile the shrubby that helped Cast already left the stage....the spikey was the first one to spotted the logs, it leapt forward and thus dodge Cast's attack....the bunnies did well too except one of them, it's too late for the unfortunate bunny to make as the logs just milimeters away from the bunny....

" good, but not enough! " roared Cast, as he summoned another shrubby....before he uses the second ringlog, he took a quick action to adjust his position after seeing the viruses did really well in dodging his attack....he came closer toward the virus, after Cast secured his position, he attacks! sending another pile of wooden logs directly to the bunnies, he knew if he attempt to aim it at the vagabond wolf, it will miss....worried about the lone spikey, Cast change his strategy.... " lend me a guard! " he yelled....Sage moved his hand swiftly, took out a chip that have an icon of a met blocking attack and swipe it at the battlechip reader....once Cast obtained the guard, he summoned it instantly....now all he did is get behind the yellow guard and wait for the opportunity to counter-attack....
