((I don't know why you think the Meteor is going to be destroyed. Doesn't say anything about it in the chip description.))

The Meteor staff did its job, summoning more exploding rocks upon the enemies, one of them hitting the Skeeto, and two more on the Kilbur. The Kilbur tried to get one last hit in, and did, only to be defeated by Voulge's shield. Deletion was quick for the Kilbur as the barrel of the cannon signified its end.

The data corpses of the Mashy broke open to reveal yet more food data, this time of a fungal variety.

((RP Reason. It's because Voulge's spear was the Meteor12 for a while and he turned it back to its original form so he can use the LavaCannon.))

"Oh? Those mushrooms looks great. What are you planning to do with them? Sautee? Salad?"

Voulge kneeled and picked up his loot from the battle. "I haven't put too much thought into it..." The spearman snugged the mushrooms along with his other delectable foods and moved deeper into the Rogue net...

-BOSS BATTLE, START!-
"Grumble, grumble..."

As Voulge and Licht traveled further, they came across a couple of HeelNavis. Their color scheme was unusual, though, in that they were dressed like... farmers? A rather large tractor accompanied them, but they hadn't noticed Voulge yet. It appeared that they were fighting.

"BOY! I told yah we ain't gonna do this the easy way! Yah gots to do it the way I used to do, the man's way!" one of them was saying, or rather, nagging.

"B-but I-I, there's five miles of crops in here! And there's viruses! Really big, scary viruses!" the other protested.

"You're nothin' but a pansy! Now DO IT!" the former yelled. Seems he was really persistent.

Then, the other, panicking and looking around, spotted the approaching duo. "Wh-what's that, Farmer?!" the other pointed towards Voulge, alerting the 'Farmer' to his presence.

The farmer turned around, and his small eyes squinted even further, making them look nearly unnoticeable. Then, they sprang wide open and he unleashed a tirade of anger. "Hmph! TRESPASSERS AGAIN?! I thought we were far from those bamboozlin' jerkwads! I'll show 'em a thing 'r two! BOY! Don't get in my way or you'll be dead 'fore y'know it! Got it?!"

"Ye-ye-ye-yes sir!" the other said, before disappearing in a jack-out light.

The remaining HeelNavi then jumped up to the tractor and pressed a button. A 'whir' sound was heard as a cover enclosed the Navi, and the tractor began to... stand?! Yes, it was, as the wheels began to disassemble from the main body and formed two arms and legs. The tractor began to form what seemed like a humanoid structure, essentially turning it into a mechanized robot-destruction machine!! The robot stood from a kneeling position, and two smokestacks emerged from its back, emitting noxious smokes! Its hand extended to point in Voulge's direction as the Navi inside shouted,

"GEROFF MAH PROPERTY!!"

"..."

Marius just didn't have the word to express what was going on.

"..."

The same applied with Voulge as well.

"*Ahem*... ... ..."

Still nothing.

Voulge was still silent, but quickly assumed his position for the unexpected battle. From the look of it, it was possible that they were the navis that was planting all the produces across the net. It was also possible that the farmer was agitated due to Voulge taking some for his own. The spearman would've very much like to settle the confusion in a nonviolent method...but it seemed too late as the towering tractor robot was standing in front of him.

Lifting his Lancea to a cross, he created a makeshift shield from whatever he can find. However, as soon as it was constructed, it began to break down as it came contact with the thick fume created by the tractor robot. "It's obvious that we cannot rely on our shield anymore. We have to do something different if we wanna get out of this alive." Voulge only watched silently as his shield was getting destroyed, trying to think up a way to defeat the enemy in the most sufficient way. "Understood."

In an instant, Voulge began to sprint towards the tractor robot without any hesitation. Approaching closer and closer to his target while understand the full consequence of rushing head on, the navi leapt at the last second. Holding tightly onto his Lancea with both hands, Voulge landed straight onto the ground while plunging the blade of the spear into the ground. A powerful tremor swept across the net as the terrains around the navi cracked up into a miniature platue. There was a small silence before something began to boil up the cracks and holes created by the tremor. The gushing lava filled the spaces beneath Voulge and hopefully the robot as well, providing a strategic vicinity for the navi's use. Meanwhile, Licht was on the sideline, simply ready to evade any attacks coming his way other than junctioning...

"Can you attack what you can't see?"

Before anyone realized, Voulge sunk into the lava he created without moment's notice. Even though the navi has never used this method before, it had many merits that would be useful in his current battle. With Voulge submerged beneath the lava, it would leave the enemy's "soft belly" wide open for the navi to attack...Despite the tough casing it had. In addition, it would be extremely difficult for such a bulky enemy to find and attack Voulge within the thick lava.

The navi was surprisingly adept in swiming across the scorching liquid and clearly saw his target. Instantly transforming his Lancea into a drill lance, Voulge immersed deeper into the lava until he reached the bottom, and kicked himself straight up with blistering speed. He held the lance above him, pointing the spiraling tip towards the underside of the robot, and madly kicked his legs to gain even more speed. Only couple of feet away, the head of the lance began to spin on its own and gave a tremendous speed boost upwards! "You know what they always say...'Bigger they are, harder they fall.'"

Voulge's shield dissolved and broke down as it came into contact with the noxious gases. Having no other choice, he turned desperate. Turning most of the fields into a pit of hell, Voulge caught the mecha operator by surprise as he dove into the lava. Agitated by this turn of events, the operator tried submerging the mecha into the lava, with little success avoiding the corrosive lava's effects. Unfortunately, its movements in the lava were too slow to avoid the deadly power of Voulge's drill that pierced its casing easily. Unfortunately, Voulge received something else in return as well, which was a couple of bombs thrown his way, though the lava hampered it enough that only one of the bombs hit, exploding in a repeating blue energy blast.

((I'm guessing that Voulge is still submerged and a good half of the terrain is lava))

Voulge was thrown away from the Shre-da, thanks to its powerful bomb. Sustaining a serious injury from the previous attack, the navi tried to back away from his enemy as far as he could. "A single hit from the bomb and I'm nearly half my energy...We need be careful against this one." The operator looked through his chips and analyzed the battlefield as quickly as he could, trying to find the most viable tactic against the Shre-da. "It's going to be too much of a hassle to attack head on with its tough exterior." His eye caught two chips while he was searching his folder and let out a small grin on his face. "I've got an idea...Let's start playing with it a little."

The two chips was immediately loaded into the PET's slot hole and the operator continued to think up a way to overcome the giant robot on the long run. Voulge had the chip's data run through his entire body and realized what his operator had planned to do. "This approach is going to be extremely risky..." said Voulge with a grim expression. However, even after mentioning its potential danger against his own well being, Voulge let out a sigh while he was swimming in the lava and began to carry out the plan.

First to come was the shield, created entirely out of floating magmas within the lava. However, this was a useless feat as the noxious smoke from the tractor only destroyed it in the process. The Lancea transformed into a pure gold trident, heavily engraved with loyal designs and studded with small topazes around the neck. As soon as his weapon took its altered shape, Voulge's body shined with a crimson glow, surprisingly noticeable despite being surrounded in the red lava. The navi curled his legs nearly up to his chest and kicked with all his might, shooting himself straight towards the Shre-da like a torpedo!

Voulge was on the crash course towards submerged tractor with his trident placed in front! However, just before the tip of the trident was only inches away from the Shre-da's exterior...Voulge disappeared. Without a single trace left, the navi who was just about to attack head on vanished, leaving the tractor monster completely alone within the pool of lava.

"Above you..."

Before anyone realized, Voulge was already on the surface, holding the trident like a javelin and aimed straight down at the Shre-da. Without a moment to lose, Voulge threw the trident through the lava, only creating a small splash as it ripped through the liquid with its untraceable speed. The chains connected between Voulge and Lancea rustled as it hit against something, possibly the Shre-da or the ground, and the navi nodded to himself. Seeing how his master was out of the dangerous lava, Licht immediately activated its junction sequence and fused with Voulge's legs.

His right hand wrapped around the chain with one twirl and pulled the Lancea out in a single pull; While the left hand held out to the side to materialize the object for the next attack. As soon as the Lancea was back at his hands, he finished what he was summoning: A giant artillery cannon. Though the weapon wasn't the most practical one to use in Voulge's situation, it did have a few elements that was useful. It's raw power could literally break the earth apart and force the tractor robot out of the lava, applying a strain in its body and dealing an extra damage. Also, the navi calculated the exact location and position before it teleported out of the lava, making sure that the attack wouldn't be a blind shot. Kicking the end of the cannon so the barrel of the cannon dipped into the lava and aimed straight down, Voulge lit the tip of the Lancea aflame and held it against the fuse with a small smirk on his face. "Shooting a fish in a barrel, as the saying goes." The fire on the Lancea rapidly grew in size, quickly lighting the fuse and firing the cannon. The shock from the shot rippled through the lava, making Voulge nearly loose his footing. The recoil sent the entire cannon to push out of the lava and in, creating a towering wave before it disintegrated.

As of now, Voulge could assume that the attack hit or missed, but he was sure that it forced the Shre-da out of the lava. Using Licht's support, Voulge was able to leap high up into the sky and tried to attack from the topside once more. Lancea was wrapped in a tower of flame and revealed its new form as a gigantic halberd. The head of the spear was almost bigger than Voulge himself, and its curved, ax-like blade was emitting a menacing aura as it reflected its target off from it. The spearman swung the colossal spear over his head as he began to drop down to the sky and locked his eyes right onto the robot's head! "HELM SPLITTER!" Getting closer to the Shre-da's top, Voulge bended his back and swung his entire body along with the Halberd against the robot!

What Voulge and Marius hopped for was that the previous Magnum attack would leave a cracked terrain beneath the Shre-da. The BigHammer would send it straight down into the ground by cracking the terrain once again and send it straight back into the ground once more. Landing onto the ground after the attack, Licht moved on its own accord and charged up its power to dodge any attack, despite the fact that it placed a heavy strain on its own body. The navi quietly thanked his SP and turned his focus at his enemy again.

"What shall I do next?" Questioned Voulge.

"It's going to be difficult to attack like this again...Plus, you're really beat up. Take this time to mend your wounds." Marius took up two more chips and loaded it once more into the PET. The first chip acted on its own as a smiling totem rose from the ground and began to chuckle, ready to fire at the sight of the Shre-da. The 2nd chip illuminated Voulge's right arm in a flickering fashion and automatically shot a tower of light into the sky...

Moving quickly, Voulge started off another round of attacks by jumping his enemy from above, incapacitating it temporarily by chaining it up! Then, the massive barrel of the Magnum blasted the Shre-da clear out of the lava! Unfortunately, the bulk of the Magnum's energy was absorbed by the surface tension of the fluid lava, only managing to damage it by the sudden shift in terrain the Magnum created. The Shre-da's systems were disabled for a bit as the warrior blew clear through the mecha's armor with a flying halberd swing, damaging it even further! Then, the Navi inside bellowed in anger, "ENOUGH!!" Standing on the lava with legs spread, the Shre-da pointed its arm towards the Navi as it twisted and shifted. Four gears were expelled from the arm and began to revolve around the robot's arm. Spinning faster and faster, the gears began to emit a hum, then a glow. Then, the gears blasted four enormous beams of light towards Voulge, missing him by a few inches, but managing to catch Licht in its line of fire, damaging the crystal SP critically!! (65) Then, Voulge summoned the Totem, which unleashed its torrential fire towards the Shre-da, but without success, as it was protected by its surrounding energy shields, nullifying the blast. Then, the mecha began to move around in a futile dodging maneuver as Voulge summoned a DBLCUBE to damage it further!

Voulge closely kept his eyes on the Shre-da while backing away, seeing how it was heavily damaged and possibly go into a desperate fit. "It's only going to get more difficult from now on. Let's finish this." Though his words had a confident vibe, Marius was bitter about his plan not going as he wanted it to be. If the BigHammer successfully forced the robot down to the ground, Voulge would've had a definite advantage as the Shre-da won't be able to guard his topside. However it failed and only enraged it, harming Licht to a near deletion.

The spearman looked down to see Licht's emerald body cracked and chipped, barely maintaining its shape. "The enemy can be taken care of soon or later. We first need to take care of Licht." The navi raised yet another shield, only to be destroyed by the smog, and turned to see the smiling totem and smacked it with the end of his spear. "Counting on you." The totem spun half way around to reveal a calm white face and turned towards Licht. It jutted its eyes wide open and fired a beam of white light from its top, covering Voulge and quickly mending Licht's damage in an instant.

"Attacking from bottom or top isn't going to work from now on; he'll be expecting it...We'll be attacking head on!"

Marius had three chips loaded into the PET and rested his head against his arm, carefully watching how the battle will unfold. The first chip appeared as a crossbow, materializing on the navi's free hand along with three metal needles. Voulge looked at the firearm with a displeased expression, "This isn't going to work..." He placed his other hand over the crossbow, shifting its shape so it would be able to load all three bolts at once, and immediately aimed it towards the Shre-da. "Much better." With a single pull of the trigger, the needles were fired one by one; all traveling one behind another almost like a train.

As soon as the AquaNeedle was fired, Voulge ditched the crossbow and prepared his Lancea. Running towards the Shre-da with all his might, he leapt when he was getting closer and let Licht give him a full burst of speed. Voulge was able to keep his balance as the blast of fire from beneath his feet hurled him like a rocket. Transforming his spear into a giant jousting lance, the navi was literally planning for a head on attack and shatter the Shre-da's defense. Even if the AquaNeedle didn't break through his defense, he was sure that this attack would be the one to finally do so. Straightening his body in order to gain more aerodynamic speed, Voulge tightly held onto the lance as it was on the crash-course right against the Shre-da.

However, as soon as the lance would plunge into the Shre-da's armor, Licht quickly performed a reverse thrust and Voulge planted his feet against his enemy. He immediately pulled his weapon out and kicked himself away from the robot in order to evade any sort of retaliation. Quickly getting back to his feet, Voulge had one more chip to use and made sure that this would be the last one that he would use in this battle. Closing both his hands into a sphere, a golden glow began to shine from within and revealed itself to be a Elewasp. It first circled around Voulge and slowly flew towards the Shre-da. It was much slower than usual, but until it was near the melee range of the enemy, it flew like a loose bullet and headed directly towards the center of the robot.

Changing the Totem into recovery mode, Voulge healed Licht's wounds with a simple whack of the statue. The Shre-da rushed Voulge with reckless abandon and blasted him with a good dose of Shotgun, which he dodged easily. Then, he fired the relatively weak AquaNeedle to destroy what was left of the mecha's shields and rushed in with a huge lance attack, damaging the Shre-da's systems quite significantly! The mecha operator panicked and set the mecha's systems into recovery, healing some of the damage Voulge had made. The warrior Navi then sent an Elewasp to damage the mecha, enough to weaken it very easily. Still trying to recover his losses, the operator kept on trying to fend off Voulge's attacks, re-instating the shields and jumping off the lava onto normal terrain.

One couldn't help but think the effort was futile.

"He's pushing his luck...No matter."

Marius leaned back on his chair while staring straight into the ceiling, already sure about the outcome of the battle. "Already prepared two chip. The rest is up to you." Voulge silently nodded and assumed his position, standing confidently as he held onto his weapon. "Understood."

The navi created his shield to fend off the smokes for the last time and began to slowly approach the Shre-da with a fierce glare. In a blink of an eye, the Lancea was covered in a veil of flame and transformed it into a ceremonial spear. With its long red flag waving over Voulge, the spear's jeweled neck was glowing ever so brightly and eventually lit the spearhead aflame. The navi stopped and held the spear in front of him, slowly watching as the flame grew larger, and spun it upside down. "Do think twice before you attack a stranger...It might be the last thing you'll ever fight!!"

As his words echoed through the net, Voulge didn't hesitate to plunge the burning spear into the ground. The flame dispersed into a spherical explosion of heatwaves, creating a thick layer of illusion between the navi and the robot. Before anyone realized, there stood three Voulge within the heatwaves, all scattering in different directions and eventually circled around Shre-da. While the illusion and the decoys was distracting Shre-da, the calm faced totem let out yet another beam of healing light towards the real Voulge, making sure that it wasn't too noticeable for the enemy to catch on.

"Let's go Licht!"

All three Voulges spoke in unison as they all abruptly stopped from their tracks and jumped into the air with the help of Licht's emerald flame. When all of them was just above the Shre-da, they stretched both their arms downwards and fired three bladed discs! Spinning its blades to a near blur, the yo-yo rained down on its target like there's no tomorrow. The SP knew that using this attack would leave Voulge immobile, so he made sure to dodge any retaliations if the Shre-da survived the attack.

"ONE MORE!"

As Voulge was dropping down to the ground, he activated the AreaGrab Marius had prepared and teleported even higher than before. He readied the Lancea again by transforming it into his signature jousting lance. Though it was similar to the GolemHit's lance, there was a design depicting a divine angel holding a sword up to the point of the weapon. Voulge flipped it around so it would face downwards and shifted his entire body so he himself would face the same direction. The navi tightly held on to his weapon as he began to free fall straight down to the Shre-da's head! "LEND ME YOUR CELESTIAL STRENGTH SO THAT I MAY SMITE MY ENEMY TO OBLIVION!"

Moving into position, Voulge started off with a heat wave explosion, distracting the Shre-da's operator with its weird way of blurring the lines between the real and the refracted. Naturally, he was outraged, and brought out one massive cannon, pointing it at the convergence point of the decoys and blasted the hell out of all the copies. Of course, he didn't hit anything substantial. Then, as the Totem healed Voulge's wounds, the Shre-da's operator did one last-ditch effort to hit Voulge and dispersed several of the bombs from earlier all over the place! His efforts were futile, however, as the bombs hit solid, immaterial dirt. Voulge then finally destroyed the robot's tough casing with a deadly yo-yo and a heavy lance driven straight into the robot's core.

The operator managed to eject himself just as the mecha's systems shut down, and the large body knelt down, inactive.

Strangely enough, the HeelNavi that was inside laughed. Laughed as he watched his tractor get destroyed. "Hah! Hahah! Hahahahahah! Good fight, boy! You got blood in them veins, all right! Hahahah!" His mirth lasted for a good few seconds before he cleared his eyes and stood up straight.

"Heh... there should be more youngin's like you. Not like that sissy worker boy I got," he said as his tone became more of a friendly tone. "You must be lookin' fer sumthin' all the way out here. What can I do ye for?"

"..."

Voulge was honestly surprised by the change of the Heelnavi's behavior. Letting out a small sigh of relief, the navi slowly approached the farmer while being cautious. "Well...I would first like to know why you attacked me so suddenly." The navi tried to be calm about this as he was still unsure about the Heelnavi's friendliness. "And secondly, were you the ones who planted all those fruits and vegetables across the net? I've been traveling across this net in search of ingredients."
"Ah, right, right. That. See, them viruses always come up n' scrounge up m'crops from 'round here. So if I see 'em, I whack 'em good with this here boomstick 'o mine!" the farmer replied, gesturing towards the steaming pile of metal that was the mecha. "Though I guess I'll hafta get that boy ta fix it up later, though. He's good at this kinda stuff, 'least.

...

"Ingredients, eh? Well, I can help ya there. Gimme a sec," he said before disappearing off somewhere into the networks before Voulge could stop him. Eventually, after a short while, the HeelNavi came back with an orb in his hand, throwing it to Voulge. "There. That's the darndest ingredient ye'll find in these parts. Also got instructions on how ta make the stuff, and some junk I got when bustin' dem darned viruses. Don't need 'em."

Voulge caught the orb with only his right hand and quickly began to examine it. Licht, who returned back to his original form, was also curious about the unknown orb. "I thank you for this gift...Though it does feel strange. I attacked and destroyed your equipment, yet you were generous enough to hand me this rare ingredient..." The spearman tried to right the wrong he created, yet the flour he received WAS one of the rarest form of ingredients one could find. He bowed his head down to show his appreciation and quickly parted from the Heelnavi, as there was still a few ingredient he wanted to gather!

-ROGUE BATTLE SIX, READY!-
As Voulge trundled forward in search of more ingredients, he came across two groups of viruses on a round flat arena of sorts that was separated from Yumland's usual grassy greenery. They seemed to be in a stand-off, staring each other down for what seemed like a battle. Their enmity didn't last long when they saw the warrior Navi approach, and they turned their focus on him instead!

"The bear...or the dragon. Which meat do you want to harvest?"

Marius started to get interested in Voulge's ingredient hunt as he had this passionate shine in his eyes as he stared at the two virus groups. The navi looked to both sides to examine the viruses and came up with the conclusion. "How about both?" The operator had a smirk on his face as he pulled out three chips from the folder and began to slot them in one by one. "I like where you're going with this!"

Voulge firmly stood with his spear ready on hand, completely unfazed by the potential dangers his enemy possesses. He swung the spear downwards, causing multiple debris to rise up from the ground and tightly pack into a small, but durable shield. This also notified Licht to immediately junction with Voulge before he would be instantly decimated by the lethal viruses.

"Be sure to keep your eyes on the AquaDragons. If the Rogue Net is truly what everyone says it is...I'm sure even your shield won't do much job."

Though Marius was feeling a little concerned, Voulge only nodded as a reply and confidently approached his enemies. As he was walking, the emblem on his chest began to shine in a dark blue light and a familiar emblem was replaced, SplashLady's emblem. The operator was surprised to see the emblem abruptly appear on the PET's screen and began to show a change in Voulge's appearance. The blinding light began to spread from the emblem to cover the navi's body, soon dispersing to reveal his overall red appearance into thick blue. Soon, drips of water began to pour out of the navi's armor, his chain mail, his gauntlet, and even his head gear. The amount of water drizzling out began to increase, creating a long trail behind, and literally surrounded the navi in a sphere of water in an instant! "ACTIVATE SPLASH CROSS!!" His words pierced through the water and bursted it wide open, revealing the new Voulge!

The navi's overall colors changed from red to blue and his silvery armor changed it hue into a milky pearl. The armor's design stayed the same, except that it had few fin-like attachments all over and a clear blue visor was locked onto the navi's eye. But the most notable change in the crossed navi was his face. His tanned skin was now fair white, his ponytailed hair grew longer and changed into the deep sea green, and finally, his fierce crimson iris turned calm blue. Voulge himself was surprised by the sudden change, but he quickly turned his eye back and placed his focus towards his enemies. "Let's begin!"

As soon as his soul cross was complete, the navi took his Lancea, which also changed along with Voulge, and stabbed it right into the ground. It created a small crack in the ground, but as soon as Voulge plucked the spear out of the crack, a small geyser exploded out from the hole and covered the entire battlefield with a gentle shower. Though the water didn't look like it was doing any harm to the viruses, it was for the navi's purpose of throwing them into a state of confusion. Before anyone realized, the plain terrain center began to rise and literally explode with greenery, surrounding everyone in a thick rainforest! Voulge was standing calmly within the forest, knowing completely that it was nothing but an illusion created by the shower and created a two decoy from the puddle of water created by the shower. Silently pointing one towards the Bear viruses' position and the other towards the AquaDragon, the three Voulge immediately dispersed and headed for their target.

The two watery decoys moved through the illusionary forest like a guerrilla fighter, appearing in front of the viruses and disappearing in an instant. They tried their best in order to keep the viruses' attention and made sure not to reveal the real Voulge's position. "Marius, please notify me if the virus pin pointed my location. I can't risk them attacking me directly." Marius nodded to his navi's request and kept his eyes out for any irregularity. Voulge was within the thick (fake) forest, still within the center of the battlefield, and prepared his attacks. Both his Lancea and his left arm began to glow in a golden shine and soon give out a small spark of electricity on the navi's watery body.

The shine on the Lancea began to flow to the chain attached to its end, causing the lifeless metal to change into a gold scaled snake. It quickly detached it self from the weapon and slithered towards the right side of the forest. It was surprisingly stealthy despite its size, and had absolutely no problem moving through the make-belief forest with its natural ability. Now the glow on Voulge's left arm shifted down to his hand and created a small, but lethal elecwasp. After circling around its master, the summoned virus also headed towards the general direction the snake was traveling, which would be where the AquaDragons were. Both Voulge and Marius realized that a frontal attack won't work as well against these tough viruses. With the help of the forest to hide his position and sending two automated virus attacks, it would conceal the navi's location and hopefully not deal with the virus attacking.

Voulge began to move away from his location with the help of Licht, just in case the viruses DID catch a glimpse of him through the thick forest. With the trail of emerald flames behind him as he dashed away, Voulge summoned the smiling totem from where he once stood and ordered it to attack anything that was coming its way.

To commence the battle, Voulge got in touch with his watery side, activating the Aqua-themed SplashCross. He then created severe watery distortion, creating a new, wooded land and two more Voulges for his enemies to play with. Next up, a yellow snake was created, which crawled over towards a WaterDragon, which was too busy focusing on a Navi image to see it, and was zapped into oblivion. He then released an EleBee to attack another of them, going straight through a tree into the blue virus. However, the dragon noticed the 'through the tree' part, and began to grow suspicious of the sudden flora. A one head high totem pole suddenly appeared, and blew fiery breath at the same virus...but by then, it was gone. The rest of the group appeared terrified of the flames at first, sure that they were about to be the victims of a forest fire...but when absolutely nothing happened to the trees, further red flags were raised, causing all of them to start doubting their perceived reality.

From the side, the weakened WaterDragon attempted to assault the various Voulges, but only managed to pass through the decoys, missing the actual Navi completely. Unfortunately, with it obvious that everything aside from that Navi was fake, it was child's play for a Bear to move up and give the warrior a good slashing.

Voulge immediately turned towards the Bear virus, who was able to see through the illusionary forest and managed to attack him from behind. He lifted his shield in defense, but he didn't have any plans to attack them yet. "Are you ok? From the look of it, you didn't sustain too much of a damage." Marius was flipping through his PET, double checking Voulge's overall status for any irregularity other than the damage on his back. "I'm fine...Just send me the next chips and I'll take care of the rest." The operator nodded after making sure the navi was able to continue the battle and pulled out three chips. However, just before he was about to slide them into the PET, he had a strange feeling about the Bear viruses that he couldn't shake off. "...Don't be greedy when you fight those furry viruses. Take them out one by one." Voulge took heed of his warning and immediately backed away from the Bear Virus with the help of Licht's fiery boost.

He spun his body around in mid-air and easily sped through the forest, since all of it was nothing but an illusion. However, even if the viruses knew that it was a fake, it would still be able to hide his visual presence and possibly attack from a strategic point. "Slot in, DrillArm!" As soon as the chip was loaded, Voulge's spear changed into a twisted lance, automatically spinning wildly and instantly rendered the illusionary forests. When Voulge approached the WaterDragons, he performed a last second break and spun himself around, finding himself staring at the viruses' side. "PIERCE!!!" Voulge held the spear by the neck with his left and pushed the end with his right, simply letting the twisting drill do its own job ripping through the dragon's flesh. "ONE MORE!" He pulled the drill back, rapidly spinning in reverse to splatter away anything that was clogged, and immediately went in for another stab.

Licht blasted in a thick emerald flame and pulled Voulge away from the WaterDragons, just in case the shield managed to break down. Marius watched over the battle with caution as he loaded the next chip in, taking notice of the SP's action. "You should heed Licht's thoughts. Reinforce your shields and lets take care of the Bears." Voulge pointed his shield forward, building up the debris from the battlefield into a single point and created yet another shield over the last one.

If all of his attacks from the last time worked, it would have left the last WaterDragon heavily wounded. Voulge materialized a golden brown boomerang onto his hands and immediately threw it at the virus with a flick. The weapon immediately took off sideways and headed towards the WaterDragon from the side, hopefully catching it off guard. "Surprise."

The boomerang bended to a near 180 as it flew right past Voulge and headed at the Bear virus that once attacked the navi from the behind. Everything happened instantaneously as the Totem spun around and opened its mouth, gurgling a mouthful of fire before it spat all of it out like a fireball. Voulge also pointed the spear towards the bear, charging the blade with a powerful electric energy and swung it straight down, firing a surge of golden wave.

"Let's finish this, Marius." Speaking with an confident tone, he slowly approached the rest of the Bear viruses with an unconquerable aura.

"No problem...Just make sure to slice the right meat when you're finished."

By now, the viruses had figured out the forest was nothing more than an illusion, and were bolstered further by the Bear's heroic lunge forward. One of the watery dragons charged from its pot to attack, only to be stopped by Voulge's shield. Acting quickly, Voulge moved up to the Dragons and gave them something to chew on with a great drill attack with his lance. The Bears tried to dig their claws into Voulge, but were suddenly interrupted when he sidestepped them and initiated his Boomerang attack, which missed one Bear, but hit another plus the water dragon. The Bear that was hit also received singed fur as the Totem attacked it, along with one of its comrades. Charging his spear with electrical energy, he finished off the Bear with a shocking last attack. Naturally, however, with all this happening, the Bear that was hit was not too happy, and its placid eyes were replaced almost immediately by bloodshot enraged ones.

"This isn't good. Take a good look at that Bear virus you hit, it doesn't look very calm at all..."

Voulge saw what his operator was pointing out and knew that the battle wouldn't end as he planned. Seeing how it was enraged by the attack, the navi needed to change his tactics and finish the rest of the viruses in a single blow. "We can still overcome this battle. Just focus on your part and I'll do mine!"

The navi clasped both his hands together with the Lancea in between and began to focus his energy into a single point. The glowing veins around his armor began to pulse and quickly shift all its light onto the navi's arms. "I'm ready." Voulge only gave out a small notice to his operator, not even mentioning what he was about to do this time. However, Marius seemed understand exactly what his navi had in his mind and took out two chips from the folder. "Whenever you're ready." slotting the chip in with a unmistakable grin on his face.

The totem suddenly turned to the Bear virus and laughed uncontrollably with its deep tone. It breathed in a lungful of air and blasted a disastrous flame towards the Bears. The flame charred the terrains beneath black as it wiped across the field and seeked to delete the targeted virus. Voulge couldn't help but to smile from the totem's contagious laughter and activated the sent chips, disappearing into thin air and leaving Licht behind!

The support program now acted on its own as it was out in the open...starting by dodging any attacks that might come his way. As speedy as he was under Voulge's control, he was just as fast as he flew across the battle field with its green crystal body. It was zigzagging here and there...but it's movement looked planned and coordinated rather than a hesitant evasion. Licht was, surprisingly, going for an attack as he slowly closed up on the wounded WaterDragon.

"Behind you!"

Voulge appeared into the battle field once more, but he was directly behind the Bear virus group with the strangest weapon Marius has seen during his time operating Voulge, a giant, coral-clustered ox tongue. The cross had a definite effect on Voulge, but this felt a bit too much for the operator to take in. The spearman swung the spear behind his head and had a firm lock on the Bear virus in front of him. The blue energy on his arm immediately transferred into the strange weapon, immediately bulking the corals and the hardness two folds, making it into a weapon one can't take lightly. "DESTRUCTION! CLEAVE MY ENEMIES INTO DESTRUCTION!!" Like a berserker blinded by his own rage, Voulge didn't think twice before applying his entire strength behind the swing, literally causing the grounds to shake as it flew just over. The ox tongue crashed head on against something, whether it may have been the virus or something else, and the corals literally exploded away from the blade and left nothing but its previous form for the next virus to embrace.

Shifting to the attention to Licht, the SP tried to get as close as he could to the virus without harming it self. It needed to be extremely careful as a single attack from the virus would force it into a EJO sequence. Bearing a small green flame in front, relatively puny compare to the wild Ignis' attack, Licht weaved through the field and prepared to fire its fireball at the virus. When the chance was given, it made a daring move by tackling forward and firing its fireball at a near point-blank range!!

"Be on the guard! The virus may have survived the attack. If so, be prepared to follow my instructions I've sent you!" Marius made a small note and sent it to Voulge and Licht, making sure that they knew what they need to do in case of an emergency.
