Fixing Laptops... with fire?

In the dusty and cluttered netscape of Art's laptop, a small pool of embers began to gather, swirling and dancing to an unseen wind while growing larger and larger, before finally blasting away to reveal the flaming teddy that was Arkuma.exe.

Shaking himself vigorously, Arkuma showered the area in motes of light before deciding to move on and find exactly what was wrong with Art's computer...
(( Ted, put your zenny total in plain sight on the signature. It's rules, just so you know. ))

Didn't take long for the burning stuffed mammal to come upon the source of the problem: Three little black tots, covered in way-too-huge yellow helmets, hacking away at the computer's vital data with their small pickaxes. They spot Arkuma and turn towards him, ready for a fight.

"Master Art, I have located the source of contamination." Arkuma reported, as he sized up the puny viruses--they didn't even come up to his elbows!

...

"...Master?"

"--hnnk..." Art was, at this very moment, fast asleep on his desk.

A dreadful silence filled the air as Arkuma stared blankly into space.

Not. Again .

Slapping himself out of his stupor, Arkuma linked up to his only hope--the teddy attachment to the PET that Art had installed a few days ago. It might be cumbersome and ugly as sin, but it was his only way to interact with the physical world for now.

In the real world, there was a sudden BONK and a high pitched gasp as Art fell off the desk, having been punched square in the nose by the animated bear.

"...oops." Arkuma muttered, as he dismissed any possible help from Art for now. Checking back at the PET, he realized that there had already been a chip halfway inserted into the slot. Not sure what it was, he prodded it in and released control of the automatron.

Inside the laptop, Arkuma felt something hit the top of his throat. Opening his mouth, he felt a large barrel extending out. Well then, a Shotgun would come in handy. Turning his attention to the helmeted virii, he moved to put himself in line with two of the Metools before opening fire with the Shotgun, the weapon recoiling into the back of his throat and leaving the taste of steel and gunpowder in his mouth.

Blinking furiously to dismiss the aftereffects, Arkuma readied himself for the remainder of the battle--the Shotgun, after all, could only take out two opponents. Slamming his massive forepaws together in a shamanistic prayer, he grunted in effort as his flaming fur doubled in size and took on a blood-red hue, appearing more solid in the process. With a confident roar, he turned back to the battle...

((

2. Shotgun (50, spread) the two aligned Mets
3. Beary Caring-Super! (-15 HP, create 25 HP Casing that heals the damage it takes.)

))
(( Uh, you can't use nerfs in battle. You can only use them if you registered them. Fix it. ))
((I did register it. I forgot to put the nerf option in my Signature.))
The flaming teddy bear moved swiftly to the side of the Metool group as a Metool whacked the cyberfloor with its meagre pickaxe, which did absolutely nothing as it passed by. Arkuma then unleashed a powerful shotgun from his maw, deleting two of the Mets quickly. The remaining Met attempted to attack, but the burning solid fur of the fiery Navi absorbed the shock, and recovered the Navi's health to compensate for the health sacrificed to obtain the crimson defense.

-Enemies-
MetoolA: BOOM
MetoolB: BLAM
MetoolC: 40HP

-Bear-
Arkuma.EXE: 95HP (Beary Tough Super! 15HP)

As the shockwave dissipated on his fiery mantle, Arkuma grinned widely at the last Metool, rows upon rows of chalk-white teeth reinforcing the futility of the virus's final actions.

Dropping to all fours, Arkuma rushed the Metool, his fists pounding the floor with each stride as he pounced, unconcerned of any possible counterattack the puny virus could take. With a grand sweep, he attempted to catch the virus and its helmet in a crushing bear hug. Using his jaws, he bit down on the edge of the helmet, ripping to and fro to expose the vulnerable underside.

Feeling a second chip settle into the back of his throat, Arkuma chuckled darkly as he opened his mouth once more, bringing the weapon to bear point-blank on his unfortunant victim...

((
1. Rush MetoolC. (Movement, Accuracy boost?)
2. Grab MetoolC. (Immobilize?)
3. Cannon (40), MetoolC.

Arkuma goes buck wild on the final Met, but his savage attack fails to do anything to the helmet. What is that thing made of? Anyways, after realizing it wasn't going to budge, the bear made sure the Met was point blank before firing off a Cannon and finishing the lone virus off.

His opposition annihilated, Arkuma spat the helmet that he had latched onto into the ground, before realizing better. Picking up the remnant, he patched it through to the PET, grinning widely.

An indestructible helmet could come in handy one of these days...

His immediate problem fixed, Arkuma decided to venture off the laptop and into the connected network. Who knows what he would find on the internets?

((Battle on, Brave Big Bear!))
The moment the lovable bear appeared into the vast internet, he was immediately greeted by a group of Canodumbs, waiting to ambush a navi like Arkuma! Thankfully, they actually didn't think they could actually pull an ambush and didn't even prepare their ammunition! Quickly strike before it's too late!

CanodumbA: 50 HP
CanodumbB: 50 HP
CanodumbC: 50 HP

Arkuma: 100 HP

-BATTLE TWO, START!-
No time to wait for Art--he needed to seize this battle now! Hastily reengaging his ruby mantle, Arkuma bounded towards the trio of turrets, zigzagging across the terrain before leaping directly towards the nexus of the three viruses. Once there, he slammed his paws into the ground and invoked the NaviCust add-on that he had installed just for situations like this...

With a roar of "Can you take the heat?!" Arkuma threw his arms into the sky as jets of lava spewed about all around him, melting the ground away until his immediate surroundings was a swimming-pool sized lake of lava. At home in the burning bath, Arkuma began eagarly slamming the nearest Canodumb virus, trying to hasten its descent into the lava by toppling it horizontal.

Of course, given the immobility and weight of the turret viruses, he doubted that they could do much about their plunge into the molten slag...

((

2. Zig-zag to center of the three Canodumbs (Move, dodge?)
3. SetLava (LavaZone)

-Heal 5 to self
))
The bear, clad in his burning fur, unleashed literal hell upon the cannons as he initiated a terrain change, transmuting the ground into what can only be described as a fiery hellhole of death. The cannons tried to stop the bear, with one Cannon managing to hit the bear, but he was protected by his defenses. Then, the cannons overheated from the lava and instantly burst into flames.

That was easy.

CanodumbA: BURN
CanodumbB: BURN
CanodumbC: BURN

That really... was easy. Arkuma thought, as he backstroked around in the lava pool, the muffled explosions of the Canodumbs coming to him from deep below.

Done with his swim, Arkuma climbed out of the burning lake. Shaking off the lava stuck to his fur vigorously, he continued his trek on the network...

((Strong Bear will be the Strongest!))
Having finished with his lava bath, Arkuma proceeded to look around some more while his lazy-ass operator napped on the floor. He found his challenge to be in the form of a couple of cactus-like viruses, along with a duo of floating flame-heads.

Time for this bear to rock.

CactyA: 70HP
CactyB: 70HP
OldStoveA: 50HP
OldStoveB: 50HP

- BATTLE THREE, START!! -
"I wonder what Master Art's up to?" Arkuma sighed, as he prepared himself for another solo fight. "I wonder, indeed." Art's voice shot over from the PET, as the bear's Operator rapped his knuckles on his desk. "Miss me, 'Kuma?"

"Right on time!" Arkuma rose, a wide grin stretching across his face. With a primal call, the Navi summoned the fiery depths once more, the land contorting and splitting as jets of molten slag rammed their way out all around him. Before the pool had settled, Arkuma was already off, leaping from sinking chunk to not-yet-sinking chunk, a long double-barrel poking out of his open mouth.

"Save those fire viruses until later." "Master?" Art's commands seemed odd to the warbear, but Arkuma didn't question his instructions. Lining up the two cactus viruses, he rained shrapnel rounds upon them before retreating back into the lava pool, landing squarely in the center of the magma to observe what his foes would do...

((
1. SetLava (LavaZone, centered around self)
2. Line up Cactys
3. Shotgun (50, Spread1), Cactys

* Passive: Beary Tough!

))
Arkuma set up the molten rock pool as the Cactys lined up to attack. Which, as we all know, doesn't end well for the wood-element viruses as they burst into flames upon contact with the roaring lava. Whoopee. With the change of events, instead of attempting to shoot the already-dead Cactys, Arkuma decided to take a shot at the fire viruses. One of the viruses fell to the bullets of the shotgun, but the other remained courageous and stepped into the lava, unharmed by the searing heat. It attacked Arkuma with a roaring blast of fire, heating the lava to a point that the ground beneath it cracked, leaving two separate pools of lava.

CactyA: Lava is not a good
CactyB: match for wood.
OldStoveA: Gunned down
OldStoveB: 50HP

Arkuma: 90HP

Terrain: 60% Lava, 30% Normal, 10% Cracked
That... actually hurt. Arkuma recounted the last time he had been actually hit, and came up with blanks.

This virus had actually hit him.

Hit.

Him.

With a shrill scream, Arkuma leapt into the left pool of lava, furious paws flinging him across the syrupy surface before he had a chance to sink. Ruby fur growing like wildfire where he had been struck, he hurtled towards the remaining OldStove, his right arm erupting with talons and as big as his head...

"Come on! Hit me again!" Arkuma roared, as he swung the aptly named RageClaw at the rusty crockbucket of a virus, the claws whistling as they carved through the air to sunder Arkuma's target...

((
1. Beary Caring! (20 HP Casing that heals as it takes damage)
2. Movement to get to OldStoveB, taking the left pool of lava to avoid the Cracked panels
3. RageClaw (40) OldStoveB

* Passive: Beary Tough!
-Heal 5 to self
))
Arkuma charges through the lava and emerges like a bat bear out of hell, clawing the OldStove and leaving it on its last legs. It was in no condition to counterattack at the moment, being quite disoriented and stumbling away from Arkuma.

CactyA: Lava is not a good
CactyB: match for wood.
OldStoveA: Gunned down
OldStoveB: 10HP

Terrain: 60% Lava, 30% Normal, 10% Cracked

Arkuma: 95HP
"I said," Arkuma snarled as he stomped after the fleeing virus, splashing lava everywhere in his wake.

Arriving at the crockbucket's side, the grizzly Navi reared back, bloodred fur rippling in the heat.

"HIT"
He demanded, backhanding the OldStove with the dull side of the gauntlet,

"ME"
before promptly reversing the motion, raking the metallic surface with the business end.

"AGAIN!"

(( 1. Movement to get to OldStoveB, taking the left pool of lava to avoid the Cracked panels 2. RageClaw (40) OldStoveB 3. RageClaw (40) OldStoveB * Passive: Beary Tough! -Heal 5 to self ))
Bump
"Hey look, I can use these too!"
That's one deleted OldStove at the hands of someone with bear claws. Of all the OldStoves I've seen deleted, that's one of them.

CactyA: Lava is not a good
CactyB: match for wood.
OldStoveA: Gunned down
