Spider & Dragon

The gloom, darkness and freezing cold of a ruined cavern still pressed relentlessly inward no the pair of navis fighting in its heart, but as the icy breeze curled through and the twisted tree before them pulsed with malignant energy, the sapping drain on their strength didn't seem to be getting worse; if anything, their foe had peaked and the pair were beginning to get used to its crushing presence, at least enough to see its weaknesses and put together a more considered plan of attack.

Even as the next wave of mental assault rolled over both of them, washing out from the tree in beats, Sylk spread her webbing and changed the ground beneath their cursed foe to something else. As they both suspected, the tree twisted and arched its trunk, responding immediately with a fresh wave of cursed roots, taking over a large amount of the freshly turned panels until they glowed again with its sickly roots. While DruidMan freed himself from its pinning hold, he was able to push back some of the corruption, though without the strength he might normally be accustomed to. It was enough to break him loose, however, and his counter-offensive caused large chunks of the tree's protective black bark to flake and fall away.

Sylk followed up her first shift with another, this time spreading unyielding metal panels under their target; again, it responded swiftly, though this time the amount of ground it covered with its darkening curse only crept out a small way from its trunk. Perhaps they had found its limit, finally?

As the pair of navis called back and forth, focused on the writhing branches before them, a wet chuckle filtered through the edges of the ruins just to one side. Without warning, two swirling vortices, like they'd seen numerous of already, appeared, spinning within two of the panels nearby; one a short way in front of DruidMan, and the other closer to the tree itself. A Void lurked behind one corner of the ruined courtyard, looking in at them, as though seeking to exploit their distracted, fraught position.

Despite this newcomer threatening to mess with their plans, DruidMan acted next, assaulting the base of the tree with his brandished and now iced-over branch; his power sunk into the ground around, freezing the base of the tree and cracking off more of its bark as frost began to creep upwards, slowly covering the black wood of its trunk. The ice remained, for now, and the tree lurched, emitting low groans and higher pitched howls that could be mistaken for the wind tearing through its spindly branches. This approach seemed to be keeping their target on the back foot, so to speak, although there was a chance that the lack of its other defences had left it acting more defensively for the time being as well; it was hard to be certain. Either way, they had to push the attack, now that they had an opening.

Sylk set up her next attack, leaving the terrain juggling to her ally; It took far more effort than the spider-lady would have liked, to hurl the boiler into place, and her ability to actualise the chip itself seemed severely hampered as she pushed through the layers of built up weakness that it had assailed her with, but it landed nestled neatly within the torn and jagged scar across the tree's trunk. The broken edges of wood make it look almost like a gruesome mouth, which it gnashed and twisted around the little boiler, but it couldn't dislodge the object. Eventually, another patch of cursed ground spread out from beneath the tree, covering the majority of its root base, without spreading much further. There had definitely been along delay that time, however, and DruidMan was already ready to set up the next blow.

This time when DruidMan spread his power to bring fresh life and growth to the decayed courtyard, it met what felt like surprisingly little resistance, rapidly converging around and beneath the tree in a sudden bloom of green grass that displaced the sickening purple glow. It probably wouldn't last to long in the frigid Sharo chill regardless, but it did a surprising amount to lift the feeling of gloomy oppression. With a wrench and a sound like tearing roots the twisted tree seemed to lurch upwards, branches whipping wildly as it flailed; it definitely didn't seem to like that, but for the time being the grass held strong. Long enough at least, for Sylk to light it up with a burning magnum round. Oh well. Her shot blasted into the tree, on round hitting high near its crown and bending the trunk backwards, while the second buried itself directly into the cursed creature's torn 'mouth', igniting the kettle within and setting it whistling. With her third round, Sylk had just enough time and wherewithal to make a shot at the sneaking Void, splattering it against its ruined wall section.

In the moment of distraction, the tree's flailing branches struck with sudden vindictive precision, swatting at the one that had struck it; she tried to duck out of the way, but a thick branch slammed into her, and threw the navi all the way across the courtyard, to the western wall, where she slammed painfully into the broken masonry, dazed and momentarily disoriented. Their main foe seemed to be trying to cover itself with its branches now, a silvery sheen forming over several of them as it crossed them over its trunk; it wasn't the same protective steely coating they'd seen before, but appeared to be something different. Neither navi had much chance to notice it, however, as Druidman sought to move back from the tree, the void appeared just to one side of him, warping in. It looked scorched badly, barely holding itself together, but a bubbling fury accompanied the vindictive sound in its throat as it extended a hand at him. The sudden pulse of force threw DruidMan back, into the nearby vortex. He felt it tugging at his essence briefly, but the navi was still far too strong for it to enact its more dangerous function on. The vortex faded, leaving him only slightly more injured on the ground.

Sylk had managed to pick herself up while her clones ran interference for her, countering back to harass the tree in a more up-front manner while Sylk herself got her bearings. Her focus was still sketchy and the creepings of disorientation and confusion were setting in, but instincts were enough to keep her safe this time; the tree lashed out wildly, the clawed, sharp ends of its branches whipping the courtyard as it fended and sought a foe, each of her clones took a hit for her, giving Sylk enough time to dodge the raking blow that came her way.

She attacked back with a violent wind storm this time, the tornado engulfing the entire trunk of the tree to the sound of shredding wood and cracking boughs. For a moment or two the ancient wood was obscured by the rushing winds, made dense with snow and earth, but amidst the storm, a sudden lance of sharply pointed wood burst out from the centre of the hurricane, aimed directly for Sylk herself. It came at an impossible speed, and heart-stopping accurate, but Sylk managed to twist away at the last second, close enough to feel the thick branch graze across her chest instead of puncturing it.

In the gaps in the stormy winds, the tree looked badly brutalised; its swaying motions were slow and weak, twitchy as its myriad of broken and shattered branches lurched and scrambled, reaching for something to devour. DruidMan had picked himself up, facing down their enemy and ignoring the badly injured Void not far from him. He continued the ground-shifting assault, this time filling the northern end of the courtyard with a broad, deep pool of clear, clean water, with a channel connecting the pool to where he stood in the courtyard's centre. His assault was still weakened, but not by as much as previous; it seemed their foe had truly run out of energy now. Within the storm of winds that Sylk was pressing on it, its bole cracked further and its crown split. Parts of the cavern around them, far away, began to rumble and crack. The tree's strength was failing, and with the amount of its roots that laced the cavern structure they had been travelling through, that might be problematic in a different way, soon.

Desperately flailing branches reached for Druidman, part of the tree had mostly fallen over but it clawed at him with the branches and roots that cold reach. Several of them raked his body and tried to cling, but he found them easy enough to shove away again; a mild drain from each swipe barely affected the druid, and couldn't have given very much back to the tree as a result.

Whatever sustenance it had manged to drain from DruidMan was for nothing in the end as Sylk had one last attack lined up for it, hammering the dark entity's shattered form with a final barrage of electrical energy, striking down from the last remnants of her storm and sundering its remains once and for all.

Just as it seemed like the fight might be over, a shrill shriek from somewhere within the broken wood gave way to ear-splitting explosion of vapour and steam. It wasn't strictly necessary, as the tree itself seemed still, but a small wet squeak told Sylk and DruidMan that it had, at the least, finished off the Void before it could escape.

When the stem cleared, the last of the storm had died away as well, leaving the ruined courtyard surprisingly clear. Where it had originally been a dark and sickly glowing centre, dominated by the black wood of Twisted-Heart, the pair of navis had now left it mostly cleared of debris and damaged ground, as much as they could, and the norther end of the courtyard now held a broad pool of clear water, bordered by a sturdy metal ring, wide enough to walk along. A channel ran to the centre of the courtyard, and though there wasn't any proper light, it certainly gave the setting a more pleasant atmosphere.

Beyond the immediate ruins, however, the sound of rocks falling cold be heard in the distant, and dull rumbles preceded the cracks of shifting stone. The pair had some time to gather their due plunder from the remains of their foe, but it sounded like the cavern probably wouldn't last for too much longer, now that the roots that had crawled theri way through it were dying.

After a hard fought battle, a deathly shriek echoed into the net as the tree seemingly lost all signs of life remaining in it's sickly branches, causing a sigh of relief to escape Sylk's lips. This fight had given her a lot to think about both in tactics and to the future. An odd feeling had come over her as the battle wound down, as she looked on at the data remnants of the viruses that had fallen victims to the tree; It was disgusting how it controlled them and drained them of their life. It wasn't something the spider normally would have concerned herself with, but she actually kind of felt bad for them.

Maybe it was the act itself, or maybe it was the ragtag band of viruses that she had come to rely on lately in her battles ever since entering this area. Maybe viruses could be more than just fodder? Sylk shook her head at the thought, knowing this wasn't the time to think about something that complicated. it was slowly becoming evident that the cave itself no longer had the tree to keep it stable as the sounds of fallen debris could be heard echoing around the cave.

"Shit, we can't stay here! Druid, let's go!" Sylk called frantically, collecting the remaining data around the field as quickly as she could, before looking for a safe route of passage.
"Whew." Druidman panted as he wiped his brow with the back of his hand. "What a weird tree, man." he started to casually gather up his goodies before he quickly realized something was rumbling in the distance.

"Oh. No way, dude!" he yelled as he shoveled the loot into his bag.

"Yes way, Druidman." Steve replied gravely. "Flee, dipshit, flee!"

"BOGUS." Druidman bluntly responded. "Sylk, back the way we came in, you think?" he asked as he started to jog that way. At least that way had no viruses and would theoretically be more structurally safe without the roots, as there were less and less of them the further from the main cavern. The climb back up the chasm wall might suck, though....
Sylk quickly took a look at the surroundings, but finding nothing of immediate use she nodded in agreement with druid as she made her escape. "If we can get back to the wall my webs should still be intact. We can climb up from there!" She affirmed, hoping that nothing had destroyed her work while she was gone.

With the tree out of action, Sylk hoped that nothing was left to get in their way.

Her breath was notably heavier as she ran, putting most of her energy into striking the corrupted tree down just moments earlier. Even still Sylk tried to keep her composure as best she could, as the navi made their way through the cave. She was anxious to get out of the crumbling surroundings as quickly as possible, and so she pushed herself as hard as she could.
"Webs? Oh, yeah, dude!" Druidman cried as he popped his forehead with the palm of his hand as he jogged along the tunnel. "I forgot you put those there, ha ha!"

As the duo hustled along the tunnel, a noticeable chill began to sweep through them, they were definitely getting closer to the end. "I think it's just around this corner, dudette. I think most of the cavern has finished collapsing, I'm not noticing as much shaking, anyway."

Turning the last bend, and Druidman skidded to an abrupt halt. Large chunks of ice and stone had came loose from the wall, ripping sections of Sylk's web away from the surface, with other chunks straining against it in others. "Whoa! That's seen better days. If not for the web the whole opening might have been sealed, man. Do you think it can hold us to climb out though? Sim's sleeping, I can't have her fly us out."
The feeling of the cold wind against her face gave Sylk a brief moment of relief as she knew they were almost out of this mess. The caves opened up to her and as she looked on at the escape route the spiders heart sank a little, her safety net of sorts in disarray as the wall had begun to crumble.

"Damnit. Ok, ok. We can still make this work." she thought out loud as she looked at the damage. If anything, the webs had kept the debris from blocking thier path.

"We can still climb up, and even use some of the rocks as footholds. In the worst case scenarios I can rebuild and reattach as we climb. It just might be a bit slower.

With a hefty sigh she began to climb her way back up, trying to plan the safest route while tending to the integrity of the web as she went.

"Come on, let's get out of here."
Shrugging, Druidman started to grab hold of the webs. "You got it, dudette." he said, trusting that Sylk's knowledge of her abilities was enough.

He kept mostly to following the path Sylk was taking, watching her carefully as she climbed above him, not wanting to venture into a possibly less structurally sound area and fall, but he was struggling a good deal more than Sylk, possibly due to having half of her appendages. Plus, the occasional rock would shift as he put weight on the surrounding webs, forcing him to alter his path slightly.

By the time Druidman heaved himself over the ledge, Sylk had already been clear for about four days minutes. Druidman was panting and doubled over slightly, the climb had almost been worse than the battles!

Recovering somewhat quickly, Druidman walked over to where Sylk was waiting. "Well, I guess I can add spelunker to my skillset, now, man." he joked with a slight shiver, as now the cold winds were whipping around them. Then he noticed something. "I think there's more icy dragon dudes upwind, Sylk-lady. Want to check it out?"

((Battle 6, if Rai is ready))
Sylk took a moment to relax after reaching the top, a little tired from the climb. She had pushed herself to move on ahead as much as possible, to check the webs strength and make it easier for Druid to climb. As a result she found herself nearing her limits after their already stressful escape of the caves.

After Druid had caught up, his suggestion had almost caused her to wince. She was feeling the effects of today's journey, but she wasn't about to show a moment of weakness around someone else.

"Of course! After all that exercise I could use a cool down battle to end off the day. I hope you're not too tired to keep up." She teased, as she took the lead forward.

((ready for battle 6))
((+4 FXP))

After an arduous climb out and a brief bit of discussion and mild exhaustion, the two navis were greeted by a dazzlingly blue sky above and sunlight as they returned to the open air of Sharo net. The snow storm seemed to have passed by, and could be seen in the distance off to one side, while around them as they moved in search of more targets to hut, the snow was thick and crunchy and deep. The air was still freezing, and the light breeze was icy cold, but the clear skies and the sunlight took something of the edge off it, a little bit. On the whole it was a more pleasant side to the Sharo rogues than they'd recently been encountering.

Following what indicators they could find, they pushed on to an area that eventually revealed a few telling holes in the network floor; a good sign that Sylk's quarry was nearby. The area was a small valley, formed by two hills just ahead of them, and most of the surrounding landscape was thoroughly covered in thick snow. As if on cue, a hostile roar preceded another Bluegon lifting itself from the far break in the network; this one looked older, more grizzled and a layering of frost and rime coated its scales.

In between the hills, the snow shifted as a shell virus opened up again, catching sight of the due, while behind then another mound of snow shook itself off as it responded to the roar, revealing a Snowmed, which yawned.

More obvious a sight were the two pairs of circling sun and moon viruses, one pair one each hill peak ahead of them. It was hard to tell if the odd viruses had noticed them, but the smaller shape of alone pulsebat, flying quite high above the area, seemed like it had. It wasn't all; a darker patch on one of the hills turned out to be another Void, watching them both with the creature's trademark sneaky intelligence.

Before either of them could engage the group of viruses, a motorised whirring and rumbling sound cut across the otherwise still air, in the wake of the Bluegon's single roar. It sounded like old-fashioned war planes on the wing, and a glance upwards to the skies to their right revealed two large machines bearing in on their position.

VoidVoid (Null&Void)

Null&Void viruses are extremely dangerous top tier viruses. No player should encounter one until at least battle 6. Null&Void viruses move and dodge at an average rate by walking normally, but they also teleport before and after executing their melee attack. They regenerate half of their HP every action and their vortexes have the ability to instantly destroy objects and EJO or delete victims instantly with Gravity Crush. Their strategy revolves entirely around forcing an enemy into a vortex, and their attack choices will always be something that furthers that goal if possible. If not, they will settle for using objects and the terrain to damage or hinder the enemy. They are intelligent enough to use their abilities to cause a great deal more havoc than the average virus.

Area: Sharo, NAXA

HP: 160
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: Set 2x Panel Trap: (30 Aqua + Gravity Crush 100 + Object Erasure)
Primary Attack Accuracy: E
Primary Attack Description: Automatically creates two whirlpools on the field. Each whirlpool takes up one panel, and remains there until either something moves into it or until the end of the turn, whichever comes first. This attack may only be executed once per turn at the beginning of every turn, and does not require an action on the part of the virus. Whirlpools never appear over Missing Terrain and cannot be summoned on Broken Terrain. Terrain changes have no effect on whirlpools, at all, as they have been known to float in mid air over even Broken Panels once they have been summoned.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: (Teleport) then (30 Aqua + Impact + Knockback)

"Well, bogus, we've got ourselves an airstrike, I guess." Druidman said with a shrug.

"Druidman, only you could make something so serious sound like it's a trip to the dentist or something. Way to undersell it." Steve replied. "What do you think? Take out the small fry first? Or their aerial support?"

"Let's worry about the supports, man." Druidman decided, rubbing his chin. "I don't dig the idea of trying to wade through this snow dodging bullets, dude. I'm gonna speed things up a little, send me some good long range chips, dude." and he began to rush out a chant, howling "AGELESS TIME FORCE!!!" into the bitter winds. Immediately, it seemed like things around him slowed down a bit, giving him better reaction time.

Druidman brought his gauntlet to bear as he called over to his companion. "Sylk-lady, I'm gonna try to knock these dudes out of the sky, you fry 'em up with whatever else is down here!" While Druidman was confident in his abilities, he wasn't foolish enough to think that he could do this without Sylk's formidable assistance. A trio of rockets spiraled upwards towards the incoming aircraft.

Druidman then pulled free his scimitar from it's bonding, and brought it in front of his chest, forcing the next chip into it, making it wobble and vibrate wildly as it's steel began to lose cohesion. with a looping swing of his arm, the metal slopped around in great chunks upwards and outward like a thin silver lasso, raining a gooey metallic mess downwards.

"Huh, this one is new." Druidman commented as the next chip formed a stave in his hand. "Do I throw this or what?" he asked.

"Uh, I guess point it upwards, it's supposed to shoot on it's own, I think." Steve replied dubiously. He must have grabbed that one by mistake.

Shrugging, Druidman pointed the head of the staff upwards to the lead plane. "Hope this works, man!"

As the meteor blasted outwards from end of the staff to careen back down to the enemy, the violent kickback of the improper usage of the object flung the base of the staff down into the ground... through the outer folds of Druidman's armor, pinning him down on his back.

"Shit, dude!" Druidman cried. "I'm stuck! This thing won't budge!" he gave a somewhat useless shake to the staff. "And it's cold."

"Dammit!" Steve slammed his fist on his desk. "Get out of there, Druidman!" he swept through his pile of chips, "Here, this should get rid of that thing." he said.

Dark energy coursed through Druidman's hands, forming a blob of darkness in his palm. One touch would destroy anything with a weak will, including the inanimate staff. "That seems like such a waste, though, man." Druidman complained. "I'd rather do... THIS!" he shouted as he lobbed the ball up and away from himself. "Hopefully that will his something useful. Heads up, Sylk!" he called. He still had a decent view of the valley they were in.

"This shouldn't be a problem for you, right Sylk?"

"Adrian, darling, do you even need to ask?" She grinned as she tallied up each virus that had dared to cross her path. "These numbers are hardly enough to stop me. let's go, shall we Druid?"

With a snap of her fingers, the spiders familiar "aura" formed itself around her body as she began to plot and scheme the best methods for dealing with 11 foes in an instant. A twisted smile appeared on her lips as a devilish plan had formed in her head, one which she felt the need might warrant a warning to her partner.

"Druid, dear, I suggest you slowly count to 10 and then hang on for dear life. This are going to get messy. if you'd be so kind Adrian?" As her words trailed off the spider summoned her usual clone, a look of eagerness on it's face as it rushed forward into the fray to distract Sylk's enemies for a brief time.

A request of plans popped up on the PET and Adrian felt no need to go against it. With a flick of the spiders hands the first chip formed onto the battlefield in front of her, followed by the spider taking two quick leaps back to create some distance.
" 1... 2... 3..."

The spider began to count off out loud as another chip was summoned into one of her free hands, a oddly large kettle taking form as she launched it a few panels ahead near the BoyBomb3. "4" As the kettle landed in place, Sylk's eyes darted around for a moment as if to search for something. She grinned once more as a series of webs began to weave and twist into metallic spikes around her.
"5"

The spikes began to glow with heat as the first was fired into the kettle itself.

"6"

Another creaked and groaned before being launched towards one of the FighterBombers.

"7"

The last one shot forth at a second bomber swiftly, as the spider wasted little time in moving to her next attack.

"8"

Webs began to scatter and weave all across the battle field as her fingers on each hand began to dance and sway, tugging various strings and bending them to her will.

"9" The excitement her her voice as she spoke the number could clearly be heard. She was anticipating this.

The webs spread to cover not only the area around her two objects, but spread themselves out to try and catch every living virus in the area she could sink her scheming claws into. She of course had made herself just out of range, and with a quick glance over to druidman's fumbling about, she was certain he would be safe as well. Her finger's curled as if grabbing the air, as she pulled each of her hands down tightening her web. An eletro-magnetic pulse filled the area, aiming to yank anything caught within to the center of the map where they would collide with her two ticking time bombs, ready to explode.

"10!" She exclaimed with glee, ready to watch her plan (and her enemies) come together. With a satisfied whistle, she called forth a draconic pet to her aid. "My lovely pet, would you mind cleaning up any remaining stragglers~" She chimed with a smile.

The dragon let out a roar of agreement as it went to work.

As the surrounded duo quickly exchanged plan ideas, a set of dark, swirling vortexes appeared on either side of their position, courtesy of the Void on the hill. It seemed to be trying to pen them in from running up either of the hills. A moment later, the Shellnerd clamped itself closed tight and Sylk had just enough time to throw up her defensive barrier before the two bombers wheeled in and began to roar up the length of the valley over their heads. Sylk's decoy rushed out to meet them, but the planes seemed intent on carpet-bombing the entire length of the valley anyway, dropping a series of explosives from their undersides as they flew past.

The twin lines of explosives made a scatter-pattern of large, overlapping bursts; the Shellnerd was caught in the blast, but its closed shell kept it safe from harm. Sylk managed to evade the blast ranges of both attack runs, though DruidMan wasn't quite as fortunate; one of the blasts just managed to clip him right as he augmented his own reaction times. At least her was better prepared to deal with the next set.

From atop one hill, the more advanced Solarite twisted and wove around behind its Lunarite partner, while the stationary moon glowed with a pale, silvery light, and directed a beam towards the spider woman down in the valley. Sylk was focused on her own plan, setting up her bomb; the laser beam thudded into her barrier, but didn't manage to damage it too badly.

As she worked on the steps of her plan, Sylk did have enough time to see the crusty-looking Bluegon rear back and blow a stream of ice towards herself and DruidMan. Sylk managed to dodge, but DruidMan took the brunt of the heavy ice blast. His rock hard body was able to shrug much of the damage off, but he found himself freezing up as the overwhelming ice and rime covered his limbs. Just as Sylk dodged away, the sound of a wet chuckle beside her drew her attention. The Void had teleported up close, putting her between it and the vortex it had summoned before. Its hand was extended to cause another one of its familiar shoving pulses, but Sylk was still moving a little more than the virus had anticipated, and she heard the thump of water shoot past without striking her directly. The void let out a brief grumbling sound of irritation, before warping back to the top of the hill once more.

DruidMan, meanwhile, had begun trying to take down the bombers overhead, as they arced a loop and began coming back for a second run. Briefly thrown off by the previous attack, his first shot went wide, though the second connected firmly with the slightly smaller bomber plane. The third shot was more than enough to annihilate the frost Snowmed before it could begin attacking them.

In the gap betwen the two planes going over, the lone Pulsebat swooped down and emitted a hammering shriek of noise that echoed through the valley. Most of the sound wave was directed at Sylk; it seemed to have taken issue with her earlier deception. Even so, the shuddering sound waves rippled across her barrier, and though its strength was further depleted, the defence held for now.

Across on the other hill, the second pair of sun and moon viruses also rotated, leaving the sun to slide around smoothly while the moon attacked. This one, however, seemed to take interest in the new weapon that Sylk had planted, and shot for the massive bomb resting in the middle of the valley floor now. The laser damaged it badly, but the explosive itself still seemed to be in working condition after the shot faded away. Sylk, meanwhile, added to the pile of ordinance with a boiler; it settled just behind the larger explosive, on the far side of it to Sylk and DruidMan, another piece in the spider's plan.

DruidMan, meanwhile, continued with the more direct assaults, aiming to strike the two sun viruses and the bomber flying above. Ill luck saw the two sun viruses successfully sliding away from his attacks as they evaded, though the bomber plane took a solid hit, wavering in the air briefly as it tried to straighten up for its second bombing run.

It came in first, ahead of the smaller bomber, dropping another series of four bombs. Despite the damage to its body, each bomb landed accurately enough to strike DruidMan and Sylk once each; these weren't too bad, really... they still hadn't managed to get through Sylk's barrier, and DruidMan wasn't really feeling the blasts too badly anyway. Then, the third bomb landed before Sylk's Boybomb, and the valley shook.

One small explosion, followed by a far more terrible roar. The hapless Pulsebat was destroyed in the tremendous explosion, while the Bluegon, just at the edges of the blast was thrown roughly back against the edge of its hole looking badly hurt. Unfortunately, DridMan and Sylk were still within range of the explosive, before Sylk could pull it further away from them – Sylk's barrier finally collapsed, though the spider lady herself escaped harm. DruidMan had no defence measures except his own sturdy resilience, but this blast still stung, and badly.

The second fighter was coming in already, but the other thing that happened was that the kettle, sitting just beyond the crater where the Boybomb had been, was starting to whistle furiously now. In the aftermath, DruidMan's meteor staff was able to launch another attack at the advanced bomber, striking it again; the craft was sustaining some damage now, but it continued, beginning to circle at the end of the valley. The second bomber ran through the path, dropping its own carpet of explosives on the pair; this one managed to miss DruidMan, though one bomb damaged his staff partially, but Sylk was too focused on taking her next shot that she didn't manage to avoid this round of bombs. It was only a scuff anyway.

As Sylk prepared to return fire, the Void warped close to her again, ready to try once more, but it had only just appeared when one of the vicious spikes skewered it with precision. The other two shots struck true as well, and it seemed as though both bombers were heavily damaged now. They began to adopt evasive manoeuvres instead, arcing left and right.

Up on the hills, to either side, the sun and moon viruses swapped roles, wih the twin suns now holding still and flickering brighter, while the moons started to orbit them. One sun released beams of fire into the valley, striking DruidMan's staff, and Sylk, but narrowly missing DruidMan himself as his own summon accidentally pinned him to the valley floor. The other sun seemed to be taking longer to build up heat, and while it did, the almost forgotten Shellnerd opened its shell and launched a pair of darts down the valley at the nearest target. Sylk took the two bolts without too much trouble; her hardened exoskeleton made their scratches almost nothing.

Further off, the Bluegon ducked down into its hole, fearful of the boiler's increasing pitch, but in that moment, Sylk struck with her carefully constructed magnetic webs. In an instant, the two sun viruses were yanked roughly away from their partners, who seemed to evade the webbing, and were pulled into the valley centre, along with the hapless Shellnerd, and the whistling boiler. The Bluegon was pulled back up out of its hole with an uncomfortable roar, and while it wasn't pulled all the way out, its body slumped to the snow in a line from the hole, leaving its snout mere inches away from where the volatile boiler landed. The dragon had about a quarter of a second to see this, before second brutal explosion rocked the valley, even larger than the first.

Senses ringing, Sylk and DruidMan were both far enough away from the centre of the blast to only witness it; certainly no viruses that were caught in the detonation remained. Up above, on the hills, the two Lunarite's began to glow a violently bright silver, twisting in places and circling on themselves in erratic, jerky motions, all sense of grace and calm gone. DruidMan lobbed one more attack as he got his senses back from the deafening explosion, but it didn't seem to end up anywhere productive. Sylk, meanwhile, directed her own dragon after the remaining viruses.

It was quick to send one frosty breath to calm down the more advanced lunar virus, destroying it, while it saved the other two for the bomber viruses. The two planes had made a loop, circling to come back at the valley cross-wise instead of up its length now, and they moved with a more evasive, rapid speed, but the ice dragon's shots were still able to track with them; one finally destroyed the smaller of the two bombers, and though the other was evaded with a rolling twist, it continued to chase the plane afterwards.

VoidVoid (Null&Void)

Null&Void viruses are extremely dangerous top tier viruses. No player should encounter one until at least battle 6. Null&Void viruses move and dodge at an average rate by walking normally, but they also teleport before and after executing their melee attack. They regenerate half of their HP every action and their vortexes have the ability to instantly destroy objects and EJO or delete victims instantly with Gravity Crush. Their strategy revolves entirely around forcing an enemy into a vortex, and their attack choices will always be something that furthers that goal if possible. If not, they will settle for using objects and the terrain to damage or hinder the enemy. They are intelligent enough to use their abilities to cause a great deal more havoc than the average virus.

Area: Sharo, NAXA

HP: 160
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: Set 2x Panel Trap: (30 Aqua + Gravity Crush 100 + Object Erasure)
Primary Attack Accuracy: E
Primary Attack Description: Automatically creates two whirlpools on the field. Each whirlpool takes up one panel, and remains there until either something moves into it or until the end of the turn, whichever comes first. This attack may only be executed once per turn at the beginning of every turn, and does not require an action on the part of the virus. Whirlpools never appear over Missing Terrain and cannot be summoned on Broken Terrain. Terrain changes have no effect on whirlpools, at all, as they have been known to float in mid air over even Broken Panels once they have been summoned.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: (Teleport) then (30 Aqua + Impact + Knockback)
Secondary Attack Accuracy: B
Secondary Attack Description: Teleports next to an enemy or object, and pushes them suddenly. If it is an enemy, they will try to push them into the nearest Whirlpool, or at least towards it. If it is an Object, the virus will push it at the nearest enemy. They teleport back to their starting position after the attack ends.
Tertiary Attack Damage/Effect: 30 Aqua + Piercing + Altitude Change
Tertiary Attack Accuracy: D
Tertiary Attack Description: Generates a gravity ball and throws it in a straight line. The gravity ball travels slowly, but will pass through anything that stands in its path. It also forces enemies in High Altitude and Burrowed/Submerged enemies to ground level, regardless of their position on the field.
Element: Aqua
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): GravityHold2, Vortex (Rare), Zenny
Special: Gravity Crush: Instantly defeats any target with HP at or below the numeric value. Undershirt will not prevent this effect from working. If the target would survive Gravity Crush damage, they instead only take the base Aqua damage.
Special: Object Erasure: Instantly destroys Objects on contact.
Special: Altitude Change: Forces all battle participants out of High Altitude or Submerged status, regardless of whether or not it hits them. This effect cannot be avoided.
Special: Regen(80): This virus regenerates 80 HP per action.

Steve finished winding his watch. "Okay, Druidman, you can move again." he said, slotting in a few chips. "I guess you can finish up, now."

"Uh... okay, dude." Druidman replied groggily, he had been lounging around like a slack-jawed yokel. He began to chant, feeling pure healing energy flow through his body, the aches and pains (and chills!) of the last few moments began to slip away from him, and Druidman pushed his hands on the ground and shouted "SANCTIFIED RECOVERY FORCE!!!" Draining vines began to burst from the ground, whipping around, searching for unwary prey.

Still stooped on the ground, Druidman's continued to chant, but this time, the cadence slowed down somewhat, and the sounds of the words began to sound more robust. Green energy channeled it's way through his arms and into the ground near him, extending a small piece of his own essence outwards. "RAMPANT GROWTH FORCE!!!"

"Druidman, I'm sending you something new. But, I think it's something you can work with." Steve said. "In fact, someone might get jealous of it?" he Really Anxiously Intoned.

"Wha?" Druidman looked visibly confused, and looked towards his partner. "Sylk, I guess check this thing out?" he shrugged as he channeled the new chip. Nearby, there was a flicker of embers, and a heat haze forming from nothingness, and, as the shimmering faded, a Spikey virus came into being, like a strange reverse-mirage. "Uh, sic'em, boy?" he said, pointing at his remaining foes. "Protect her, dude!" he added, gesturing to his comrade-in-many-arms. The Spikey complied, leaping about and spouting flame around at the viral survivors.

Loading the remaining chip data, Druidman sent a pulse of electrical energy through his forearms, giving him a strange, numb sort of tingling sensation. The energy coalesced into several orbs, which Druidman flung about the area.

Still channeling electricity, Druidman drew his scimitar, and with a slight grunt, grabbed the tip of the blade and began to bend the weapon into a "U" shape, charged with electricity, the sword became like a magnet, eager to launch out his his grip. Druidman held it back long enough to wait for the perfect angle to strike at the circling plane virus, and then let his fingers slack, launching the magnetized metal skyward.

"Uh, this one is new too, huh, man?" he asked, as a strange sort of feeling spread through his body. Slight shifts in the air around him made it seem as it the very wind itself was shielding him from harm. If he squinted, he could almost swear he saw a shimmer of metal dancing around him, ready to intercept anything foolish enough to get close. "Sylk-Lady, the rest is up to you, dudette!"

Sylk watched as her plans fell into disarray thanks to the retaliations of the fighter plan, her eyes twitched as they glared intensely at the viruses remaining. The spider knew not everything goes according to plan. It was a normalcy in these situations. That did not mean, however, she would not seek vengeance for making her look the fool.

Sylk summoned another likeness over top her own position, and the two broke to either side simultaneously in hopes of confusing any would-be attackers as she prepared her next strike.

" How about a little bit of turbulence for the plane, would you be so kind Adrian?" The spider requested, the plan already coming together.

" No problem." Adrian responded in kind.

A moment later a chip was slotted in, and the spider grinned menacingly as she snapped her fingers. A cold wind swept into the valley, though it did not seem to pass by. It began to twist and circle the area. The wind had become violent, kicking up snow into the air. Three massive pillars of wind were whipped into a frenzy, aiming to wreak havoc on the viruses that remained.

This was just the start.

With another snap, Sylk called forth one of her many minions from the depths of the broken terrain. With a quick gesture she signalled towards the fighter plane. Without a sound her precious helper vanished without a trace only to reappear with a slashing strike at the planes location.

it was at this point she heard Druidmans words. "Hmm?" She looked over quizzically, only to scoff. "Oh , did I impress you so much that you've decided to copy my style now?"

As the Spikey came to her aid, the spider rolled her eyes with a sigh. " While I appreciate the sentiment, I don't exactly need to be protected you know." Snapping her fingers once more, Sylk called up her own trusty defences to her aid. In her hands, buzzing could be heard as she guarded herself with a massive hive full of her loyal subjects. She was no bee, but she was certainly their queen. Her already sturdy body began to heat up, chitin turning to scales as the spider's exoskeleton shifted to a slightly more fearsome look. One more resembling her draconian minions.

"Now then, let me show you how it's done."

An ear-splitting whistle echoed through the valley as Sylk called in more minions to her aid. At first, it seemed like there was no response. No new help emerged from the surrounding fields, or the holes in the terrain. It was a few moments more, before multiple creatures descended from the sky. A volley of blob-like masses hurtled down towards the remaining enemies, aiming to crush them all with their gelatinous bodies.

As the slime rained down, another fighter plane could be seen on the horizon but this one was significantly smaller than the others they were fighting. It darted onto the scene and instead of heading for the navi, it moved in right behind the Fighter Bomber and let loose a barrage of shots on it's tail aiming to take it down.

Sylk looked on with a satisfied smile, giving a slight glance back over to Druid.

: 100HP Mobile Flying Object, 3-Turn: 10 x 10 Shots (Acc: A) @ Fighter Bomber v4
The badly damaged bomber arced to cut across the valley at the navis below, chased by Sylk's dragon. It wove and twisted as black smoke sputtered from its engines, but even as it juked and dodged the pursuing icy shape, an unexpected flaming meteor crashed down from the sky above, further crippling it. It limped on, losing altitude and wavering left and right as it desperately brought its guns to bear, only to be faced with flying into a suddenly obscuring blizzard of wind and snow. The whining engine sounds became a shrieking churn as it was pulled off course violently. From its hill, the lone lunar virus was stymied in its silvery rage, as the sudden winds kicked up the snow and buried it, freezing the virus solid and leaving nothing alive.

DruidMan was able to shake off the cold afflicting him, though the only remaining foe by now wasn't near enough to the ground to reach with his grasping vines. It careened closer to the ground as it looked to be aiming a last ditch kamikaze crash at Sylk and DruidMan, but before it could manage even that much, the dark spectre of another of Sylk's summoned 'friends' appeared in front of the beleaguered virus, just long enough to slice it in half with a sudden finality that saw both of its remaining sections land to either side of the navis, smouldering away at the edges of the freshly-formed patch of grass amidst the snow.

VoidVoid (Null&Void)

Null&Void viruses are extremely dangerous top tier viruses. No player should encounter one until at least battle 6. Null&Void viruses move and dodge at an average rate by walking normally, but they also teleport before and after executing their melee attack. They regenerate half of their HP every action and their vortexes have the ability to instantly destroy objects and EJO or delete victims instantly with Gravity Crush. Their strategy revolves entirely around forcing an enemy into a vortex, and their attack choices will always be something that furthers that goal if possible. If not, they will settle for using objects and the terrain to damage or hinder the enemy. They are intelligent enough to use their abilities to cause a great deal more havoc than the average virus.

Area: Sharo, NAXA

HP: 160
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: Set 2x Panel Trap: (30 Aqua + Gravity Crush 100 + Object Erasure)
Primary Attack Accuracy: E
Primary Attack Description: Automatically creates two whirlpools on the field. Each whirlpool takes up one panel, and remains there until either something moves into it or until the end of the turn, whichever comes first. This attack may only be executed once per turn at the beginning of every turn, and does not require an action on the part of the virus. Whirlpools never appear over Missing Terrain and cannot be summoned on Broken Terrain. Terrain changes have no effect on whirlpools, at all, as they have been known to float in mid air over even Broken Panels once they have been summoned.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: (Teleport) then (30 Aqua + Impact + Knockback)
Secondary Attack Accuracy: B
Secondary Attack Description: Teleports next to an enemy or object, and pushes them suddenly. If it is an enemy, they will try to push them into the nearest Whirlpool, or at least towards it. If it is an Object, the virus will push it at the nearest enemy. They teleport back to their starting position after the attack ends.
Tertiary Attack Damage/Effect: 30 Aqua + Piercing + Altitude Change
Tertiary Attack Accuracy: D
Tertiary Attack Description: Generates a gravity ball and throws it in a straight line. The gravity ball travels slowly, but will pass through anything that stands in its path. It also forces enemies in High Altitude and Burrowed/Submerged enemies to ground level, regardless of their position on the field.
Element: Aqua
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): GravityHold2, Vortex (Rare), Zenny
Special: Gravity Crush: Instantly defeats any target with HP at or below the numeric value. Undershirt will not prevent this effect from working. If the target would survive Gravity Crush damage, they instead only take the base Aqua damage.
Special: Object Erasure: Instantly destroys Objects on contact.
Special: Altitude Change: Forces all battle participants out of High Altitude or Submerged status, regardless of whether or not it hits them. This effect cannot be avoided.
Special: Regen(80): This virus regenerates 80 HP per action.

FighterBombers are a combination of FighterPlane, Ratty, and Kabutank viruses. They appear to be a miniature model of an A-10 fighter-bomber that has had the tips of the wings replaced with large ducted fans that it uses to stay airborne with. There are two smaller ducted fans on the tops of the rear wings as well. This virus moves about using thrust from two small jet engines mounted on the upper side of the craft's rear wings. The crazed viral pilot of the FighterPlane virus is present here as well, although the pilot now wears a modern visored fighter pilot's helmet and oxygen mask.
