Unfortunately, before either XIII or Enigma could move, the Snorgmorphophage had finished... charging or whatever, it didn't help that the Bubble Star was ultra slow. A terrifying screech erupted from the snot monster as a white mess of mucus and god-knows-what *Phwoot'd" out of the creature's main gaping orfice and shredded through the air toward the two.
XIII followed up with his array of chips, a Zapring, an Elecreel, and a Fireburn, but the goddamn thing wouldn't slow down. The Elecreel managed to connect through the snotty attack.
Suffice to say, the two were head to toe in goo of questionable variety, and were heavily restricted. Enigma still managed to whack the monster with his Bighammer, but he got kind of grounded RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT.
Giant tentacles sprung from the Snorgmorphophage as its displaced eyes focused on Enigma hungrily. Something akin to a tongue licked across its own face.
Oh shit.
The pilot managed to get himself free, only to be completely devastated by the aforementioned attack.

Enigma, although previously unsure, had had a feeling that something of this sort was going to happen if he didn't get away quickly enough.
Too bad he didn't, right?
Ceres? he questioned politely, looking up to his Op curiously.
Yeah? Ceres replied just as meekly, sighing.
Would you kindly tell me... ah... WHAT THE HELL I'M SUPPOSED TO DO!? he raged.
Heal XIII, was all Ceres offered, shrugging. Most of your stuff is on cooldown right now, so just sit tight and hope our partners solve all of our problems, or try to hack your way out-- the latter, I don't see as highly possible...
Fine. Whatever, Enigma said, turning to XIII, and then thinking about something. Since when was I the angry one, Ceres?
It could be the smoking, Ceres said quietly. Knowing what Enigma's response would be, he sat back in his chair uneasily, waiting for the turnout of the current battle undertaking.
You--... we'll talk about this after I'm not being tentacle raped, Enigma growled, his mood plunging back into the sulky, unpleasant sort. XIII, I need you to help get us OUT of these things; I'm running low on good chips, he explained, then quickly gathered what was left of the data around him, gathering it into a pulsating orb above his head. Here, this should help, he added, rather reluctantly sending the healing data towards his partner rather than himself. Looking down at himself for the first time since he'd been seized by the tentacles, he was sorely disappointed by his eyes.
Bits of disgusting nasal particles covered him in every manner possible. Some white bits, a lot of green bits, but what was really nasty was the occasional dot of red-- were there Net blood-transmitted diseases? Enigma hoped not. Ceres, can I get the Dashattack? he requested, getting an idea.
Right away, Ceres said in a mock-servant voice, slotting the chip in with mock eagerness. Geez, what a dick, eh?
Ready for take-off, Enigma reported with a sadistic grin, twisting himself around in the snotty grip so he wouldn't be jerked about TOO badly when the Dashattack le--...
Well, too late. Again. The Fishy-esque addition to his arm sped off in the direction that WASN'T towards that of the Snorgmorphophage before Enigma was ready, reminding him once again why he didn't like that chip. Hopefully, it would have Enigma attached, and free of the Snorgmorphophage's disgusting wrath.

The red-haired navi was struggling free himself from the snotty restraints on his body. His body was aching all over, like he had just been on the business end of a cannonball. And here he was now, being pulled down by a tentacle made of unspeakable substance. In a situation where he normally would have been ultimately grossed out by the entire nature of his confinement.
"Oh god, its like some weird anime!" He managed to free his arm and slash at the tentacles restraining his movement.
"Tenchi, here's your back up! DblBeam! slot in!" his operator slammed the chip into the port, loading the data up. the DblBeam was a bit of a crap-shoot, seeing is the effect was random, but in a situation like this, anything that happened would be good for them.

While the duo are immobilized, slimy, creepy, icky tentacles worm their way toward the two navis as they struggle with their gooey bonds of mucus. Very inappropriate of unknown origin comes on when the "ligaments" slither their way around the navis' bodies, tapping rapidly in odd places, and it kind of hurt, but somehow not in a bad way.
Finally, the two broke free and Enigma floated himself upward, healed XIII, and shot directly toward the Snorgmorphopage, colliding his arm straight into the mucky mass of a monster.
Unfortunately, that kind of made him have his hand stuck in the monster. o_O
Said creature began to cackle inhumanely as it opened its mouth, WIDE, and descended upon Enigma.
A flashing cube interrupted the monster's rampage as it finally settled on a deep crimson color and blasted a ray of red at the creature, who pulled back a bit, carrying Enigma with it. The blobby navi was a bit dazed from the dragging, so he wouldn't recover just yet.

While happy to be, for the majority, away from the Snorgmorphophage, Enigma wasn't exactly happy about still having most of an appendage stuck inside of a giant hunk of goo. What's worse was that he couldn't even disassemble his arm; the snot had pretty much glued his data pixels together. Ceres, I need a Heatshot, he said, suddenly sounding urgent. Things weren't looking up; too much damage was being dealt to himself and XIII and not enough to the weird snotty freak... thing.
Coming, coming-- also, I'm sending a Wideshot, heal XIII with it, Ceres advised, and then slotted in the two chips as he had said he would.
Thanks, Enigma nodded, then felt his arm expanding inside of the Snorgmorphophage as a Heatshot formed on the end of his arm. Slowly, but surely, snot was creeping inside of the barrel, too; he'd have to act fast. This is going to smell terrible, grimaced the indigo warrior, and then pulled the trigger with olfactory senses completely turned off. Within seconds, flames were bursting from his arm everywhere inside of the Snorgmorphophage; hopefully, it'd be enough to burn his way out. Still unsure of his predicament, Enigma quickly assigned the Wideshot to his free arm (hopefully recoil-free, considering he wasn't actually firing it) and aimed it at XIII. Wordlessly, he consumed the weapon with indigo data and converted it into usable data for any navi, and sent it to his ally-- roughly half of its damaging power. Hit it--now! he yelled, then tried to jerk his arm out from the Snorgmorphophage and started running... hopefully, if he managed to get out of the snot-monster, he'd not get mucked up in the snotty terrain, either.
Kasumi! Use a Rockcube! It's good cover, and we can send it flying later! Ceres called over his PET mic. And don't let anything hit Enigma!
I'll be fine...

XIII clutched his side. He was hurting bad, and whatever wasn't hurting was going rather numb. There was even a little blood trickling down his side, and the navi couldn't help but look at it and once again find it kind of odd that his programmer input this realistic looking bump-mapping for damage. "Remi, I think the time to play this safe is gone. Enigma is starting to pull out the stops... I'm going to use one of the crosses..."
His operator nodded and selected the function on the screen, transmitting the data into the net. The navi was standing to receive it, letting go of his side. the space around him started distorting, and the energy surging through him was partially reviving him somewhat, regardless of his immense damage. "Mach 13, Another type!" he yelled, the last bit of the transformation taking hold when the wil'o'whisp flames popped up around him. "Thanks Remi. This might not be enough, but I'm going to give it my all!"
"Wait, XIII... not yet..." His operator stopped his movement forward immediately. It wasn't necessarily that she told him to stop that made him halt so quickly, but rather her voice betrayed a hesitation to mention something to him.
"what... what is it Remi?"
His operator was silent for a second. "Umm, there's something else we can do... I finished putting in a special program last night, it could help you guys win, but...."
"But what?" the navi was a little bit confused. Usually when Kasumi had an ace up he sleeve, she'd use it when ever the chance seemed good. Rarely did she ever hold back on a job, especially like this.
"well XIII" Kasumi responded, "Its a program that can up your defense and attack concentration... but the code is far too over powered for your standard function; it causes a potentially dangerous shock to your system."
XIII was still not entirely clear on it. "What's that supposed to mean? Why don't we just use it?"
"It means that by using it, you might go crazy for a little while, and with each subsequent use without defraging your data afterward, you risk corrupting a portion of your data."
there was silence on the communication line for a moment. Then XIII said, "Kasumi, just use it." He used her real name instead of her usual nickname. "I trust your programming skill."
"A-alright XIII. I'm also giving you a Cannon chip." She slid the chip inside the slot and XIII's arm changed to the projectile's barrel. Her finger hesitated over the sig-command icon though. "XIII... be careful..."
"Don't worry, Remi..."
Her finger hit the button, and a sudden jolt went through XIII's body. The navi crest located on his chest started emitting a high pitched noise and this cold blue luminescence that seemed to flood the area with its icy light. XIII's eyes were vacant to the point of looking emotionless, and his gaze was locked directly on the main body of the enemy. All that his mind was processing was the most direct, undeterred course of action for utterly destroying the pile of snotty data infront. Even the pain and hesitation that had been coursing through his body was gone now; not numbed or reduced, just plain missing, like he was unable to process data in that fashion.
"XIII?" Kasumi tried to get his attention. "XIII, are you... ok?"
"... delete...."
He lifted his cannon arm, and the power started charging through it as the special mode focused the power beyond its usual limits.
".... DELETE!....."
The navi yelled a blood-curdling cry into the air as he let loos the powered cannon shot at the giant monster. XIII charged forward, drawing the double energy blades at his side the moment his hands reverted back to normal. Even without the command from his operator, he started performing his upgraded sig attack, the Legendary Cross. The double power strikes wipped across his target, the cold efficiency of his movements guiding the blades with a surgeon's precision and an assassin's mercilessness.

Enigma, stunned for the moment, groaned as he came back to his senses, and quickly jettisoned himself from the boogerish monstrosity with a well-placed Heatshot. But due to that, it didn't look like he could use more than one chip at a time, since the arm data had overheated in the blast, but Enigma was amorphous as his enemy, so it really didn't matter. The phasing entity sighed as he ran far far away from the opponent and blasted some healing magic at XIII, while a bunch of slimy fists nearly hit him in his dashing escape.
XIII went to pull out all the stops, going into his most valued cross of speed, Mach 13, Another Type. Following it up, Kasumi activated a sort of berserker state for her navi, causing him to laugh madly and fire a quite overpowered Cannon at the Snorgmorphophage, which recoiled from the blow, letting out a terrifying inhuman screech and spewing out a silky stream of its own mucus at the fighters, Enigma blocking the attack with his fluctuating nature, and XIII a bit more resistant due to the HardBody state he was granted with by his newest signature attack. Roaring in bloodlust, the samurai dashed menacingly at the opponent, cutting not once, but twice at the monster, causing it to slump down in agony.
"It's weak, just a bit more to go and the core will be able to be snatched!" Professor Curtis Falceon, who was really standing right next to Kasumi this entire time and totally not ignored for the entirety of this battle, commented enthusiastically.

XIII, this is the final push! Enigma yelled over the screeches of the monstrosity. Just a few more hits, and it's down!
Hit it with your absorb attack, and I'll give you a few chips, Ceres ordered, slotting in two of his last five chips as he did so. Cannon and Shotgun coming your way.
Fair enough, Enigma coughed, and then turned back to face the Snorgmorphophage. Narrowing his eyes, he began siphoning off what was left of his data into a small orb, and it shaped itself as it did so. Within a matter of seconds, a purple bottle had formed itself in front of Enigma, sparking and making all of the weird motions that Enigma's data bits make. And, on the front of the bottle was a large, commercial logo: "VICKS." I hope you like NyQuil, Enigma grinned, sending the bottle of cold medicine flying at the Snorgmorphophage, and when it got close, it exploded, showering the beast in purple liquid. What was left of the liquid sped back to Enigma, healing him as well.
I hope you get some better catch phrases, Ceres added, rolling his eyes. Now hit it some more, would you?
Not the time for that, Enigma grunted, and then carefully aimed the Cannon at the Snorgmorphophage's... eye cavities? Whatever it saw out of, anyways. The blue shot sped towards the snot beast menacingly, and before it could hit, a Shotgun was already fired, aimed for the same place; soon enough, many, many blue bursts were going to meet the Snorgmorphophage with some nasty noises. Jesus, if that doesn't kill it... Enigma grumbled, backpedaling a bit to get a good look at what the enraged, sped-up XIII would.

Hit it with your absorb attack, and I'll give you a few chips, Ceres ordered, slotting in two of his last five chips as he did so. Cannon and Shotgun coming your way.
Fair enough, Enigma coughed, and then turned back to face the Snorgmorphophage. Narrowing his eyes, he began siphoning off what was left of his data into a small orb, and it shaped itself as it did so. Within a matter of seconds, a purple bottle had formed itself in front of Enigma, sparking and making all of the weird motions that Enigma's data bits make. And, on the front of the bottle was a large, commercial logo: "VICKS." I hope you like NyQuil, Enigma grinned, sending the bottle of cold medicine flying at the Snorgmorphophage, and when it got close, it exploded, showering the beast in purple liquid. What was left of the liquid sped back to Enigma, healing him as well.
I hope you get some better catch phrases, Ceres added, rolling his eyes. Now hit it some more, would you?
Not the time for that, Enigma grunted, and then carefully aimed the Cannon at the Snorgmorphophage's... eye cavities? Whatever it saw out of, anyways. The blue shot sped towards the snot beast menacingly, and before it could hit, a Shotgun was already fired, aimed for the same place; soon enough, many, many blue bursts were going to meet the Snorgmorphophage with some nasty noises. Jesus, if that doesn't kill it... Enigma grumbled, backpedaling a bit to get a good look at what the enraged, sped-up XIII would.

Enigma's words seemed to be lost on XIII at this point. Its wasn't that he was incapable of hearing the other navi, its was more the fact that XIII was completely unfazed by anything other than his target. Kasumi was eyeing the gauge on the side of her screen with increasing worry.
"Crap...." She muttered to herself. "The risk of corruption is rising faster than I expected. In a few moments, the fail safe I programmed in will activate; probably about enough time for one more good attack."
She reached into her battle-chip pack, but much to her chagrin, there were really no more chips for her to use. Basically just a counter, a rock cube, and a rage claw. The rage claw was too dangerous, since it could risk bringing the already damaged XIII deeper into harm's way, so she might as well prepare the other two. "XIII, hit him with a charged shot! Make it count!"
XIII just nodded, his bloodthirsty gaze never leaving his target as he slid the two energy blades back into each other. Once again, they appeared to be as a single sword residing in its sheath, the navi holding it at his side as his right arm hovered over the handle. It wasn't very visable normally, but due to the focused boost from the mode he was in, the charging energy managed to encase the entire sword in a sort of weird aura of fluctuating light.
It happened in what seemed like an instant, not even long enough to blink completely. XIII drew the first sword from its "sheath" to land a lightning fast slash across the enemy, and immediately after the second blade (the "sheath") flew across the same path, the energy blade extended out from it.
"Counter1, Slot in!" His operator cried, sliding the chip into the side slots. This was more a precautionary measure, since due to a combination of the nature of that attack and the jarring from the berserker mode wearing off, XIII would have been wide open to attack otherwise.
Summary:
Charge
Charge
Charge attack (Mach 13 AT style)(32 + 20 berserker damage Normal/Sword) to Rampaging Snorgmorphophage
Counter1 (70 + Impact + Break) activated

Enigma's and XIII's attacks all but dissolve the gooey mass that is the Snorgmorphophage. A single, floating, purple orb lies where the abomination once stood...
...and it was gathering mass.
"Now's your chance, Miss Kasumi! Have XIII catch that core data with the NetSword!" Professor Falceon advised.
The Rampaging Snorgmorphophage: DESTROYED.
Core Data: (Gathering Mass)
Terrain: 100% Normal
XIII.exe: 41 HP [Mach 13, Another Type] (One whole goddamn turn to catch the Core Data with the Netsword)
Engima.exe: 40 HP (Doesn't need to do anything)

Quote (Netsword)
-A sword handle, with a long handle and butterfly net coming out of the end. The net looks perfect for swiping that core.

The emergency shut down to the berserker program activated, and XIII found himself staring down the destroyed remains surrounding the core, feeling exhausted and injured.
"XIII!" Kasumi yelled into the microphone. "We can't give it a chance to escape or reform itself!" The jammed the Netsword module into the open slot on her PET.
The Netsword formed up in his hands, and the navi mustered up the remaining ounces of his strength to surge forward, blurring in the air as he went.
"'To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee'!" He yelled at the core, and thrust the tip of the Netsword through the core with surgical accuracy. XIII landed behind the core after the jumping lunge, striking an awesome and dramatic pose.
His operator blinked a couple of times. "That thing you said XIII, that was Herman Melville wasn't it?"
XIII relaxed and slumped down to the floor. "Yeah, Moby Dick. I thought it seemed rather appropriate, considering the circumstances."
Summary
Dramatic quotation of 1800's American novelist
Netsword attack (capture) to the Core
Dramatic finishing pose!

[Screws waiting on Hiko, because it'd be better for him to not worry about posting]
XIII dramatically captures the Core Data, and the Netsword and said data fuse, to turn into a steel box.
Well, time to plug-out and hand this over to the Professor face-to-face.
The Rampaging Snorgmorphophage: DESTROYED.
Core Data: CAPTURED
Terrain: 100% Normal
XIII.exe: 41 HP
Engima.exe: 40 HP
-VICTORY-
XIII LOSE: Netsword.
XIII GET: 1000z, Package.DAT [Key Item]
Enigma GET: 1000z

Enigma, quite pleased with himself to say the least, turned to XIII with a huge grin on his face. Good work! I'll look forward to busting with you again, he congratulated his partner, and then turned to Ceres. Leave them your e-mail, would you?
It's N-O-T-A-R-A-one at z-mail dot com. Got that? Notara1@zmail.com, Ceres explained, and then crossed his arms and smiled. I'm not going to lie, that was satisfying. Anyways, I hope to catch you two later! Ceres grinned, and jacked Enigma out.
= JACK OUT. =

((Sorry for the delay. Family issues and internet troubles))
XIII immediately broke his cool pose, threw his hands up in the air, and shouted "Woooooooo!"
Kasumi wiped her brow too. It was finally over. "Wow, we did it, finally. And thank you very much Enigma and Ceres. We really couldn't have done it without you."
The navi ran up and grabbed the captured data, and without a moment's hesitation, Kasumi hit the jack out button. Normally the transmission of data between the PET and the net is nearly instantaneous when a navi is jacking in and jacking out, but in all honesty XIII couldn't leave that place fast enough. He had been knee deep in and almost killed by disgusting muck, and if he ever saw slime again it would be too soon.
