Work

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.

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.

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.

((I personally apologize for the lack of modding, this kind of thing is unacceptable in my eyes. I wish I saw your thread sooner.))

Ophanium continued forward to look for more viruses to fight, and was promptly greeted by a somewhat loud screech behind him. He spun around to see a pair of PulseBat viruses, staring him hungrily. He turned back to check for an escape route, but a pair of Spookys appeared out of thin air, and to make matters worse, a Swordy warped in between them. Surrounded, Ophanium didn't seem to have much choice but to fight.

-(Battle #3: Fangs, Ghouls and Blades! Ready, Fight!)-
Ophanium continued further into ACDC Net, contantly scanning the surroundings. As he reached a stretch of long, open land, a rather piercing screech erupted out from behind him. Whipping around on the spot, Ophanium's momentum carried his cloak through his plane of vision, and as his sight cleared, he was met with a quadruple of unfamiliar, and menacing eyes: those of two Pulsebats.

Turning back around to scope for an escape route, more eyes met him, but this time, a sextuple of eyes: four of two Spookys and two of a Swordy. Stepping back to the middle of the circle, Ophanium slowly drew his katanas, taking a deep breath.

"Ready Michael?" Ophanium asked skeptically.

"As always Phan." Michael said as he sat up a bit further in his chair.

"The Rageclaw... if you will." Ophanium pleasantly asked as he slowly rotated on the spot, keeping a keen eye on all the virii.

"Of course dear sir." Micheal reached onto his desk and grabbed the chips. He flicked through them slowly. A picture of a cannon stared back up at him first, and a picture of a shotgun followed. Next a picture of a guard chip glared back at him, finally succeeded by the Rageclaw that Ophanium desired. Taking it out of the stack without contemplation, he slotted it into the PET. Then Micheal turned his eyes back to the screen, where Ophanium still rotated on the spot, waiting patiently for the chip to transfer.

Ophanium felt the data rush to his katana as his hand began to tremble with the onrush of data. The katana began to morph, and still Ophanium turned. As the weight changed as well as the shape and look of the weapon, still Ophanium turned. And as the data finally began to settle, Ophanium stopped, his head down, faced in the direction of the triple of virii. With one deep breath, his head snapped up to take in the three virii, and he flew down the terrain towards the Spooky on the far left.

Ophanium felt the wind whip against his face as he raced down the plain, the Spooky growing evermore in his plain of vision. Ophanium brought up the Rageclaw that sat in his left hand to the level of the stomach of the Spooky. And finally, as he reached the enemy, his blade met a substance, whether air or virii, he did not know.

Then, retracting his blade, he turned left and whipped past the Swordy, until he was even with the second Spooky. Feeling the wind in his face, he took a deep breath and threw the blade towards the Spooky. With a quick retraction, he felt the Rageclaw begin to splinter from its use. Sheathing the Rageclaw, and holding up his second katana in a guard position, he slowly backed away from the virii, eager to see the results of his work.
