Bard and Longshot Go Go

"Bard this isn't working we need a change of plans," Leo said into the headset. His voice was a bit rushed and anxious. "First of all we need to get you off of the wet glass. Make a movement away. Sing a dodge action as you are moving. Its time to use this glass to our advantage." Leo began to look over his chips as his mind quickly porcess the way the battle was running. "Bard, target switch. We are going after Dew now. We won't be able to finish them off fast enough with our current plan of attack. Use your Musical Bindings Process Attack on Dew and lets knock this guy out. Sending the Sword for your Raven."

Bard grimmance a bit as the attacks were landing around her. The stupid Dew was spilting the damage, keeping the ally that she wanted down alive. She scowled as she looked around her for a dry panel somewhere. Spotting one, she moved to it, trying to watch her step as she did so, being careful not to fall. While moving there she said to Leo, "You know this is the first time I have acutally had to move in battle." Once Bard was on a better glass panel, she sang the dodge spell to keep herself prepared for an attack. She personally thought that one dodge wouldn't be enough, but not being able to deal much damage this time wouldn't be useful either. Bard tightened her grip on her guitars neck and watched carefully. "Leo I have a better idea, send me the DBL cube instead of a sword. It can't hurt at all here, I will get a bit of damage or a heal which," Bard said while glanceing over at her ally, "Longshot looks like he could use." "Righto," Leo simply responded, dropping the sword chip back to the pile and slotting in the DBLcube.

Bard felt the data present in her. She sent the DBL cube to her Raven as she readied her fingers to play the Musical Bindings Process Attack. She slid her fingers down the frets, playing various notes and chords. As she did so, the strings began to unwind from the guitar neck and started moving around. As the song progressed the strings became more and more alive, trashing almost in their movements. Once they had fully removed themselves from the guitar, they were pointed in the driection of the watery navi, and with a final strum on them, they flew towards him at a vicious speed. They attempted to wrap him up and bind him in his place, to make him and easier target.

Once the strings had started their path of attack, Bard sent a mental cue to her raven, who began uploading the data for the DBL cube. It started to slowly flash red. Then blue. As it did so the raven itself began to cube and morph into a cube shape. the black mist surronded the Raven, with the center of it flashing the colors more and more frequently. The mist cleared away and the cube-raven dropped to the ground, switching colors at a very fast rate. Bard watched it for a moment before switching her eyes back to her opponets.

Summary
1) Tatical Movement off of Wet Glass
2) Prepare Dodge Spell
3) Musical Bindings Process Attack at Dew (Hold)
4) DBLcube1 (Red=40 damage to all enemies. Blue=30 heal to all Allies)
The impact of the most recent attack sent Longshot falling onto his bottom with a grunt, it seemed that this fight was just not cut out for them. "We've gota think of something quick I'm almost out of chips." Stumbling up to his feet glancing at Bard shrugging helplessly, it was true, he really could use the pick me up, or a quick way to drop these two navi. Your going to need to use this time to get off that water, its not helping you at all. Get out of there and take one last cannon shot. After that we have your Heavy Shot, a sword, and a shotgun." Even as Amadeo suggested this Longshot started to move, carefully stepping across the wet panels till he was once again on dry glass as quick as he could. Once he was on the slightly less slippery ground he raised his cannon aiming again for Dew. "This is really annoying, we didn't even want to fight."

Holding the cannon at his shoulder again his visor flashed and a series of targeting rings started to flicker about bouncing from the three navi before him before all falling into place over Dew. At once his power symbol flared and green data streaked across his body up his arm and into the buster. "Seeker mode locked, fire!"

The modded cannon shot took off with a bang and a small kick, the shot seeming to curve slightly to try and compensate for any movement Dew might take. Hopefully the cannon would hit square. With this hope in mind Longshot crouched down getting ready to dive to the side should a counter attack arise.

Action
1) Movement off wet tiles to glass
2) Cannon DMG 40 + knockback + Cursor Seeking @ Dew
3) Prepare dodge.
As the two slowly began walking away from the wet panels, the two navis began to discuss something to themselves.

"You sure you wanna do this? I mean, they really don't look like a hostile. I think we can just stop right no-"

"Yea, definitely! They're not hostile at all! In fact, I really think them CONSTANTLY ATTACKING US PROVES IT! Now shut up and lets finish this!"

Just as when Bard and Longshot arrived at dry land, Dew and Verde took the chance to attack! They each fired a single shot of their buster, all hitting their unsuspecting targets dead on. Bard was on wet ground again, but didn't matter too much as she quickly casted both her magic at once, entrapping Dew on to the ground!!

"Wh-what! I can't move!!"

Dew couldn't do anything but take the well place cannon shot fired by Longshot. Normally, the pressure from the shot would usually send the navi flying away, but the magic placed onto the navi held him directly in place and was able to split the damage evenly.

When Dew and Verde tried to attack again with their busters, Bard was hit again by Dew's buster due to the troublesome glass panel...though she would simply teleport, and Longshot evaded his. While they were too preoccupied with their attacks, they failed to realize the DBLBEAM fired by Bard's Raven and got a hefty damage.

"This has gone far enough! Dew, let's begin 'Dazzling Weed!' "

"Again, the worst name you ever came up with...but I guess I have no choice..."

Dew.EXE: 100 [Hold]
Verde.EXE: 90

Terrain: 100% Glass [90% Wet (-2 Evasion/Accuracy)]

Bard: 100 [On Wet Glass]
Longshot: 40
Bard listened to the converstaions of Dew and Verde as she as walking to a drier panel. "I agree with you on that one Dew, I am more than done with this as well." She let out a long sigh as she looked back to the other Navi's. She finished her attack patterns and held dew in place, taking the wet water blasts and letting out a cry of frustration as the ground under her was wet once again, thus making her efforts very useless and unuseable. Bard let out a long sigh and called her raven back to her side. She relased the grip on her guitar and looked to her opponets. "I'm done with this! We really don't need to be fighting, what are we evern fighting about? We aren't hostile, you guys aren't hostile, and I am finished with this childish conflict!" Bard played a few quick notes to end the hold spell on Dew and let him free. "Just stop! We both know we could possibly delete each other, but what good would that do us? Deleting one another over nothing!? What does that make us?

Leo was holding the chips in his hand when he heard his navi say this. "Um, Bard are you suer you want to be just stopping in the middle of a fight?"

Bard lookde at Leo and said, "I never wanted to fight to begin with! I was simply defending myself after Verde flipped out. I'm done with this fight! I'm not fighting these people anymore." Bard sits down on the wet glass and pulls her guitar case up on her legs. She crossed her legs and opens it. She takes the guitar carefully and sets it in the case while licking her fingers to try to rub out some of the marks and dirt on the instrument. She finished a quick cleanup and closed the case. Taking the case unto her lap she looked to her ally and said, "Do you even know what we are fighting about?" She looked to Verde and said the same thing. She staied on the ground as her bird calmly sat on her shoulder and moved its head, letting its eyes set on the other Navi's on the field. Bard looked up at her opponets, Dew in partculiar, and gazed into his eyes, seeing if he wanted the same.

Leo was simply shocked at his navi's actions. He knew that she ran off her emotions for her actions, but he didn't think her desire to fight and worry for her guitar was enough to make her dead in a fight where her opponet was about to launch a powerful attack. "Um Bard. Are you 100% sure you want to do this?"

"Yes. I am done. And Dew you are thinking the same thing! Why are we fighting? Just stop it!"

Summary
1) Relase Dew From the Hold Spell
2) Sit down and Clean Guitar
3) Try to get Dew to stop as well
4) Try to stop the fight.


{{Bard is so run by her emotions I had to do that. Once she heard that Dew was unwilling to fight as well she just stopped.}}
Longshot's jaw nearly dropped out his helmet when Bard declared her standing on the fight. Glancing over at Dew who was suddenly free of a hold spell, and the still bizarre Verde girl ready to go. How could they trust them? Clearly it wouldn't be hard at all now for them to use this 'dazzling weed' attack. Amadeo was also just as confused, though he still had chips ready just incase.

"Bard are you sure this is a good idea?" He glanced back at Dew immediately feeling that it wasn't even if he was also for stopping the fight Dew had still done a serious number and that personally bothered Longshot quite a bit. "I can tell you why, because they attacked us, its called self defense and right now you look rather defensless which can't possibly be a good idea at all." Even as he spoke he kept his buster leveled with Dew ready to fire at a moments notice if the Navi didn't follow through with this idea of 'peace' that him and Bard both seemed to be thinking of. Even then he was still glancing at Verde, if anyone wasn't to be trusted it was that short fused nut job.

Tense as ever Longshot was ready to dive and roll out of what ever attack might be thrown, he didn't trust this situation one bit. "I've got a shotgun and a sword ready, just say when and I'll send them." Amadeo whispered, his nose almost touching the screen as he studdied the situation.

With arms raised and motes of energy building between his hands, Verde shouted out "DAAAAAAAZZZZZZLIIIIIINNNNNN- You're not doing it." and immediately stopped his attack.

"They're right, this is dumb." Dew answered.

"I can't do this alone! What's with you guys?"

No one seemed to want to answer to the hot-headed navi, seemingly infuriating him even more.

"FINE! WHATEVER! This is lame anyways. I'm out." Verde added before teleporting away.

Dew gasped, "Hey! Wait for me!" before taking on last look at Bard and Longshot with a saddened expression. Dew added one final, "...Sorry." before leaving the scene as well. As some kind of consolation, Dew seemed to have left behind a zipped files containing some zenny.

Longshot Get: 600z + 2 FXP
Bard keeps a watchful eye on Verde as she leaves in rage. While letting out a long sigh, she stood up and looked to her teammate. She held her guitar close while she said, "Thanks for supporting me on that one." She looked back to Dew and waved goodbye as he left. Once he was gone she noticed the zenny data that he left behind. She sent her raven to get it while she packed up her guitar. The raven swooped down and grabbed the zenny, sending it to Leo's bank statement. Once it had finished its task, it flew over to longshot and looked up at him. It tilted its head from side to side, with its big beady eyes inspecting him. In a quick action it let out a loud caw before flying back to Bard.

"Bard, we need to be going. We have a long trip ahead of us tomorrow to go back to school. And we need to stop by the store as well."

Bard nodded and extended a hand to Longshot. "It was a pleasure battleing with you. Maybe we should do it again sometime." In Bard's palm was a small piece of data. Once Longshot shook her hand he would get the passcode to Bard's Homepage and the email of Leo's PET. "I really do need to go though, later longshot!" With that, a bright light surronded her as she jacked out. Once she was gone, a lone quarter note remained where she once was. It played a quick beat before disappearing as well.

{Jackout}
(( Back from the dead I am gota wrap this up... ))

Longshot simply fell back onto his rear gun resting across his lap as the two Navi retreated, barely giving a wave to Dew as he faded away with a brief apology. "Yeah I have to say that normally isn't how I would go with the situation..." Slowly Longshot pushed himself up tilting his head at the raven making a face at it as it cawed briefly before hopping away. Grabbing the last of the zenny left behind Longshot turned to face Bard.

"It was nice meeting you too." Taking her hand the data transferred blinking by once in Longshot's visor before it was sent to the PET for Amadeo. "I'll see you around sometime Bard." Waving good-bye as she logged out, he would follow suit moments later disappearing as well with a small smile as her note played one last tune as his own process faded him out.
