Work

Ophanium absorbed the data and continued on in the Net, in search of more virii to add to Mike's pool for alarm clocks...


[Battle 2]
Three Bunnys bounced to the scene, and two Cactys grew out of the ground! This was a pinch, but not something to feared. The arena was set, it was time for battle!

-BATTLE 2-
-START-
((Sorry for the post, was in a rush))

A faint hopping sound stopped Ophanium in his tracks as three virii approached his position. He froze, slowly drawing his blades, and still watching as two more virii grew out of the ground behind them. With one deep breath, Ophanium spoke back to Michael.

"Mike, any help would be appreciated." Ophanium said as he steadied himself into an attacking position.

"Let's see," Mike said as he observed his chips, and closing his eyes, "eny meny miny mo!" And, picking out the Rageclaw chip, he slotted it into his PET.

"Idiot..." Ophanium said as his katanas began to warp. Ophanium stared in shock as his katanas did not warp at all, but two new blades grew out of the hilts, forming a claw. With a slight chuckle, he looked past his blades towards the virii, and felt the wind in his face as he began to approach his enemies.

Ophanium ran past the Bunnys and stopped in front of the first Cacty, and, bringing his blades over his head, threw his claws down onto the Cacty with all his strength. Ophanium quickly retreated, his claws still intact. Now, however, Ophanium set himself into a defensive position, ready to dodge if anything sprang out of the line of Bunnys.

"Wow Phan, you wailed on that guy..." Mike whistled in shock. "I didn't know you even had emotions programmed into you."

"Idiot..." Ophanium whispered under his breath.

With one mighty swing equal to that of two, Ophanium brought the Cacty down like a falling lumber and immediately took evasive maneuvers. The Bunnies fired their electric rings, but it was a easy job for the navi as none made its mark.

Ophanium.EXE: 100 HP
Ophanium easily evaded a few electric rings thrown by the Bunnys and settled back down into a defensive stance. Acting quickly, Ophanium pointed his katana at the first Bunny.

"Give me the shotgun, Mike..." Ophanium said in a low, quick voice.

Michael didn't speak as he quickly grabbed the shotgun chip and slotted it into the PET. "One shotgun on the way Big O."

"Idiot..." Ophanium growled as his blade began to warp. The hilt shifted down, forming a trigger underneath his finger. The blade widened and rounded out, forming two barrels. One shell weighed the gun down as Ophanium prepared to release it. Pointing the gun straight at the Bunny, with a slight tug of the trigger, the shell sped out of the barrel as the gun even began to dissipate even then.

"Guard if you would please master..." Ophanium mocked.

"Why thank you my angel..." Mike said with a slight smirk as he slotted in the Guard chip.

"Idiot..." Ophanium said. And as he saw the blade began to pulse with a red light, he watched as it engorged into a shield, large enough to cover his entire body. Throwing his other blade behind him, he ran towards the final Cacty, shifting his shield to block anything from the final Bunny. And as he began to run, his blade began to pulse with a white energy, and suddenly began to grow.

Ophanium, still charging towards the Cacty, felt his blade as it reached its full ten-foot length. In one fluid motion, as his shield dissipated into data and his other katana returned to him, he brought his blade over his head and down onto the Cacty virus. He grunted in the process, and still kept an eye out for virii, feeling somewhat helpless against any attack thrown his way now.

1. Shotgun (50 dmg) > BunnyA > Spread1 > BunnyB
2. Guard1 (Reflect up to 60 dmg) > BunnyC
3. Blade of Light (40 dmg) > CactyB

Blade of Light: 1 TCD
Holy Aura: Active
Ophanium fires off his Shotgun, deleting the first Bunny outright and... completely missing the other target. Line 'em up folks.

Being cautious, Ophanium puts a Guard on his left arm before slashing quickly at the Cacty.

The Bunny did decide to attack, but luckily Ophanium had his Guard up, reflecting the damage back.

Ophanium.EXE: 100 HP
Ophanium settled himself back down as he scanned the situation. Two crippled virii, easy pickings. Yet that one Bunny, uninjured. Standing there as bold as brass. It would be the one to feel the wrath of an angel. To feel divine wrath and drift downward into the pits of hell. This scum would taste blood before Ophanium was done, and now his mouth would numb with the taste of blood.

As all this passed through Ophanium's head as a fleeting memory, he uttered one, simple command. "Michael, give me the Cannon." Not even moving his gaze from that one Bunny.

Michael understood the undertones in Ophanium's voice. He knew one thing, Ophanium was in the zone. So without a word he picked up the Cannon chip and slotted it into the PET, and settled to watch his navi work.

Ophanium felt the data gather around his swords as he brought up the sword to point at the one, rebellious Bunny. The one unwilling to accept its upcoming demise. As soon as this thought passed through his mind, Ophanium noticed that one katana had began to warp. As the blade began to dull, it lengthened, forming a mortar shaped cannon, but this only said one thing to Ophanium, the Bunny's demise. Without a wasted movement, as soon as the data settled, Ophanium tugged the trigger, as he felt the shell blast out of its casing. He watched it speed home, smashing directly towards the final uninjured Bunny.

As he took his eyes off of the last Bunny finally, it was only back to his katanas that his gaze turned. Bringing one up to his eyes, he saw as data began to gather, the blade pulsing with a neon light. Focusing even more, he saw that he blade gained a whiteish gleam, revealing the energy buried deep within. Soon, that energy would be released in the form of a virus' deletion, but for now, it must stay buried.

Finally, Ophanium brought his gaze back up to his prey, settling down into a defensive position, his head darting back and forth between the virii.

1. Cannon (40 dmg) > BunnyB

The bunny was pegged by the cannon shot, nearly deleting the virus. The remaining enemies were in a desperate state as they began to attack Ophanium wildly, but none made a direct hit on him.

Ophanium.EXE: 100 HP
Ophanium weaved wildly as all the remaining virii attack him, but miraculously, nothing scraped him as he dodged through the pile of attacks. As he came out on the other side of the attacks, Ophanium settled once again and spoke once to his operator.

"Mike, get the Rageclaw set, I'll need it soon" Ophanium commanded, whipping the blade out behind him, as it began to pulse with a white light.

"Jeez... fine, SIR..." Mike jeered as he reached out to the chips, selecting the Rageclaw out from the bunch. Continuing to mutter under his breath, he said, "I got it..."

Ophanium's gaze wandered back to the virii as he grew attuned to their presence. Those three filled his field of visions, as Mike's mutterings were cut out from his pure concentration on the virii. Feeling a shifting weight behind him, Ophanium let his gaze shift back from the virii to the swords behind him. Ophanium watched over his shoulder as the blade grew, and grew, extending out to Ophanium height, and continuing to stretch, even beyond ten feet. Dragging the enormous blade behind him, Ophanium charged the Cacty, dashing up to right in front of the virii. With a glare from behind his sword, and as a small, dark, chuckle escaped from his lips, the sword traveled back to behind his head, and with a small grunt from his lips, he brought down the blade right onto the head of the virii, feeling the data crumble underneath his blade, and as it pulsed back down to size, one word escaped his lips.

"Now!" Ophanium screamed, as the blade shrunk back to normal over the data of the Cacty. Mike, just as the word registered in his brain, he whipped the chip into the PET as fast as he could, but no word escaped his lips in this transaction between these two. Ophanium, meanwhile, felt the data gather around his swords, and quickly shifted over towards the Bunnys, suddenly staring another virus in the face. This one would feel his wrath as well. Bringing the Rageclaw up, he ripped it right through the data of the Bunny, feeling little resistance as he pulled the blade through the virus' "flesh." Turning with the force of his swing, he moved to face the final Bunny, and moved to confront it.

Reaching the final enemy, Ophanium grinned a devilish grin, as a leering lunatic Lucifer overcame his better senses. Feeling this onrush, a Need came over him, as he felt another force take control. He watched as a foreign navi raised his claw to destroy a small Bunny, ending the life of this scum, and as this navi tore his Rageclaw through the Bunny, Ophanium realized. That was him.

Ophanium cried out in realization as he fought for control of his body. He began to scream as he struggled against the invisible cords separating him from his body. With one final screech, he broke free. The pressure against his body released, as he screamed once in the flesh. And this time, the sound reached his ears.

Mike jumped up in a flash at Ophanium's scream. "Phan! What happened?"

Ophanium just muttered one statement to Mike as he prepared for the virii's attack. "No idea."

((Be careful of autohitting. Try to avoid writing things like "through the virus' flesh" and "feeling the data crumble" as it indicates that your navi is hitting the target, when you have no guarantee that the attack will connect. I have not penalized, but consider it in future posts.))

Calling upon some form of demonic strength, Ophanium ripped apart all three remaining viruses before they had time to react. When he came back to his senses, all of the viruses had been destroyed, leaving nothing but data floating on the wind. And some nice rewards, of course. Maybe going crazy wasn't such a bad thing?

((Ok, sorry... thanks for the advice.))

As the dust cleared around Ophanium he looked around. He stood alone in a clearing, torn apart by his wrath. But one question lingered in his mind, was it divine, or demonic. Mike spoke, snapping Ophanium out of his trance.

"Phan... the data?" Mike said.

"I detect a slight undercurrent of urgency in your voice, Michael." Ophanium mumbled, but never the less walked over and absorbed the data. With one deep breath, he trudged onwards in ACDC, looking for more virii.
