Although Mokusei was hit rather forcefully by the Power Explosion, he was rather happy that his ally had taken the hit, survived, and fought back. Man, this dull-man is great. He seems to be acting as a damage sponge and a lightning rod. And he is fighting really well, too. I can't say that I can complain. Although I'll have to make sure he doesn't get deleted, because if he does, I'm doomed. He thought to himself, getting back up after being knocked over by the Power Explosion.
Rose, watching the battle, seemed to be much more thankful for Naviman's presence. Man, I hope Mokusei realizes how lucky he is. At his current health, if Blaze had targeted him, he would've been deleted. She looked at her Navi's ally on her screen, thinking Thank god for you, NaviMan. If you keep up the good work, you and Mokusei should both make it out of here alive.
Mokusei, however, was busy. He had more important things on his mind, because for him, living was more important than thanking someone for saving his life.
Seeing Naviman pull of his bland lightshow he had wondered what it's point was. However, after seeing Blaze fall over, asleep, he no longer had any problems with the ability. Wow, that was great. I guess this guy is even more useful than I thought. What a lame joke, though. After a quick thumbs-up to Naviman to thank him (he didn't want to risk waking up the enemy and ruining the moment) he began to think.
With this wonderful opportunity now open, he needed to get his mind in motion and come up with a good plan. The question; what the best plan of action would be to take advantage of this opening in his enemies defenses. Quickly, what to do. His mind raced. Well, I could attempt to shoot him, but I can do that anyways. However, without the chance to dodge, and based on my remaining chips, I could probably deal 90 damage. If I went in melee range, with that new sword of mine, I could do some serious damage, like, 240 if all went well. I could also dodge or heal, or use a guard chip, considering I am so low on health. Okay, I'll go with a combo of the sword and dodging, since I would really like to not die. he decided.
Tabbing over to private chat, he requested the chip he wanted from Rose. "Sword, please." was how he materialized that request. It was short, but sufficient enough to get the point across. Surely enough, he got the chip only moments later. It took the form of a katana, another reference to his slightly Japanese theme. The gleaming blade, shining silver, was clearly ready to serve its owner well. Mokusei held the sword down as he rushed towards Blaze. While I do really prefer staying at a range, I guess coming in close isn't so bad considering the enemy is asleep. Besides, I want to survive this match, and if we don't take this Pyro out soon, there's no way I will.
Within a matter of moment he had reached the area where Blaze had fallen asleep. I can't hope to kill him fast enough to avoid retaliation, and in turn, death. As a result, Handicapping would be better. He decided, pulling the blade out before him. Rotating it in his hand, he moved it into an underhand grip, with the blade facing downwards. Looking down at the body one last time, he made up his mind. I'll go for . . . With a flash he brought the blade downwards, hoping to plunge the blade into his target on the enemy's body, HIS EYE!
After his first stab, he quickly pulled the blade back up, grabbed the hilt with his other hand, as well, and made a short hop sideways. Moving the blade back into a proper grip, he crouched. Now to get away. He's a far better melee fighter than I am, and at my current health, a hit or two by him is all it will take to kill me. he thought. Quickly, he pushed off against the ground, sending him into a backflip well above the ground, flipping through the air to a more distant location, a little bit further from harm's way.
Landing gracefully, he quickly called up to Rose on private, hoping to be able to get the chip in before an attack. "Rose, Guard, quick!" he pleaded. Luckily, it wasn't long before the obnoxiously large yellow shield materialized in front of him. Leaning his back up against it, he could only hope that it would shelter him well enough from his enemy's attacks. I need to live. Losing now would mean I wasted all this time. Come on, shield, do your magic.
Rose could only watch in suspense, keeping herself ready to slot in a chip immediately if he needed it. Mokusei, you can do it. I may not want to admit it, but you are pretty decent. As much as she felt like supporting him, no words came to mind, so she stayed quiet. She was now, however, slightly distracted with curiosity about what she could say to Mokusei.
SUMMARY
1. STAB HIM IN THE FREAKIN' EYE! [Sword to Blaze, 80 dmg]
2. Back flip out of Harm's way (hopefully) [Dodge]
3. Hide like a coward behind a yellowbellied shield [Guard1, Reflects one shot for up to 60 dmg]
Geyser and Mokusei

Mokusei's attack slammed into Blaze's eye, who instantly woke up and screamed in pain.
"MY EYE! GODDAMMIT! YOU F**KING B**TARD! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Blaze roared, clutching his eye as he sent another flamethrower like effect from his flaming armor at Mokusei, missing as the wood navi backflipped out of the way. Blaze grinned menacingly at Mokusei after he had put up a Guard, and swiftly charged up two orbs of plasma energy in his hands.
"DIE!" the Mafiosi roared, sending the two orbs at the Guard, making a giant tower of flame burst up from under the wood navi. The Guard reflected the attack, but Mokusei was knocked back and sent flying, wherin Blaze suddenly covered himself completely in fire, like an armor of living flame it seemed, took the attack, and retaliated with a burst of fire from his armor at Mokusei.
The Wood Navi was hit directly in the chest from the attack, adding the force of the knockback from earlier, sending Mokusei careening into...
a wall of flame.
"Stereotypical Healing Signature," Naviman mumbled, sending a painfully dull, but refreshing, wave of light at Mokusei before he collided with the wall, saving him from EJOing or worse. Though, it didn't seem to help much but provide the wood navi another round to either get the hell out or continue fighting to the end.
Naviman sighed and continued his own assault, turning both of his arms into electric coils and sending an electric charge through them, firing Zaprings at his opponent.
Blaze then became stunned. But Naviman was hit by two blasts of fire from the living fire armor.
Riiight... This is totally worth it now.

Mokusei was barely able to survive the brutality cast upon him by the now enraged Pyro. After surviving, very barely, thanks to his Undrshrt Program and a little aid from Naviman, he was forced to re-evaluate his current situation, which he had a moment to do with Blaze being stunned and what not.
Damn it. I don't think I'm going to make it if I keep on fighting him. I'm inches from death, and the only reason I'm not dead now is because that Psychotic-pyro is stunned. I guess I drew too much attention to myself. He thought, regretfully.
Rose was shocked by the outcome of the most recent burst of fighting. How can everything have gone so wrong so fast? she wondered. "Come on, Mokusei!" she said on their private channel, the fact that she was upset making her voice stern, "What are you thinking? You have to shape up. If you don't win . . ." she trailed off. What will I do if he doesn't win? What would I do if he was deleted? Rose honestly wasn't sure how to answer. Well, if he loses, I'll be upset. But not at him. And also afraid for the net, since we are fighting a war. And upset that we couldn't be involved more. Deletion, though, I don't know what I would do. I could get myself a new Navi, but it wouldn't be the same. Rose suddenly jolted out of her train of thoughts of despair and defeat, and became more determined. But I can't think like that. We will win. And we will do well. I must keep my spirits up for the sake of our ability to fight and go on! She thought confidently. But something in the back of her mind continued to nag her, Even if it is a façade, and I know I'm lying to myself.
Mokusei, by now, was standing up again. "Thank you, for healing me." He said, a little meekly, to Naviman. Now what will I do? I could escape, but it would be hard. And It would mean failing at my duties. Rose wants me to win, and has ordered me to do so, so I really should fight on. Even if fighting on implies an imminent death. he thought to himself. Reanalyzing the playing field, he looked everything over. I'm surrounded by a ring of fire, making escape near impossible. I am currently near-death, and one more hit aught to do me in. Naviman is better off than I am, but he's taken a beating. Blaze is in the best position of all of us, and has a counter-attack flame shield, which means if I attack, I'll probably die. However, he is also stunned, so I have a moment to recover and plan. But what to do?
"C'mon Mokusei, you can do it." Rose said, speaking just to him. She had noticed him stalling. She didn't know exactly what his thoughts were, but she had guessed. He's either paralyzed with fear of losing, or indecision or he's deep in planning. But he doesn't have any time, and he's wasted precious seconds already. She had thought. And with these words and these thoughts, she sent him their Recov10 chip, one which she had been eyeing since he was first poisoned in the match against the Dark Watermelon. He needs this, and it should help him a little.
As the restorative energies washed over his body, Mokusei started to feel some of the damage disappear. Well, I guess that'll be step one. He thought, now that he too realized that he needed to speed up. "Thank you, Rose," He said quietly, on the private channel. He quickly ran towards Naviman.
After he arrived in his area, Mokusei stood behind the dull, beige navi, and looked at him from his peripherals as he stared at the stunned Blaze. To think that this Dull, incredibly boring and downright uninteresting Navi would end up saving my life so many times. I just hope he can continue to do so.
"Naviman," Mokusei said, in a low voice. "I realize you are having difficulty as well, but I don't believe that I'll survive another hit. It would be better for both of us as long as we both stay alive, since we have aid, and our enemy must split his attention." Mokusei felt the need to justify his request, as he was too proud to be very happy with asking him for help, yet practical enough that he did it anyways since it would benefit him. "I need you to defend me, or heal me again, if at all possible. I'm sorry for forcing you to put your life on the line for me, but I do not particularly want to die. And I'm sure you don't either. But without teamwork, our survival is much less likely." He was speaking more quickly now, though still low and hushed, as he wanted to finish his soliloquy before their enemy broke free of his bout of paralysis.
"I am not free to attack due to Blaze's counter-attacking shield, which is certain to destroy me if I do, but I promise that if you keep me alive, I will aid you as much as possible throughout the rest of the fight." Mokusei wrapped up.
He didn't know how his ally would respond, but he assumed favorably. Why would he refuse to help me? He is dull, but not cruel. And he has helped me before. I feel so weak, needing him to defend me, but it is something I must deal with. The weak will always need protection. And, being a ranged-specialist, I'll probably need protection from any enemy on equal footing who can attack me from close-range. In order to get stronger, I need to fight on my own once in a while. But, I can't get any stronger if I'm dead, so asking for help this time is definitely justified. Besides, Blaze is no where in my league. If I had had to face him alone, I would have been dead in 10 seconds, tops. So, no need to feel bad about needing help. he thought to himself.
So, with as much as I've done, and being so clearly outmatched, I can't say I'm unhappy with how far I've gotten. And if I'm deleted right now, I can't say that I'd be horribly disappointed in my progress. He thought. But it's not going to happen! I'm not going down without a fight! Mokusei glared down the field, at his enemy, his target, his predator, and his prey. I'll have to wait for Naviman to take down his shield, then I'll aid him for the kill! He smiled, as he prepared himself to dodge, while remaining behind his ally. He was ready to step, slide, duck, roll, tumble, flip, cartwheel, or perform any other acrobatic feat required to keep himself safe and remove himself from harm's way. He was also totally ready to stay behind his ally, unless instructed otherwise, or otherwise properly defended. I'll use him as a meat shield if required, but I can't die, no matter what the costs!
Rose looked down upon her Navi, and the fight, and wasn't totally sure about what to do. However, she remembered that she was being positive, and inspiration returned to her. "Mokusei, you can do it. you have to. Just picture it; if we survive, we could be famous, and celebrated as "Heroes of the Great Net Civil War". And think of that prize that was promised to us. And we still need to find out more about Dark Chips. If you don't survive, we can't do any of that." She said, trying to forcefully encourage him. Being sympathetic and not either crying due to the urgency; or crying and being pessimistic due to her overwhelming feeling and slight fear that they she was going to lose both the battle and her Navi, was beyond her at the moment, so tough love was what she was brought to. Truthfully, her interest in the Prize, Honorary Police License, Dark Chips, and Recognition did drive her, and had been her main inspiration to go on. However, those were now second seat to her new drives; her need to win, and her wish for her Navi's survival. Watching the battle closely, she made sure she was ready to aid in anyway she could. She prepared herself to be ready to slot in a chip should Mokusei call for it, and watched the battle intently for any sign that he may need one such chip.
Come on Mokusei, You can do it. I believe in you. She thought, willing him with all her might to live. She would have crossed her fingers, if it wouldn't interfere with her ability to aid him. The nagging doubt in the back of her head wouldn't be silenced, however. Well, honey, It told her, Are you fully prepared to have that belief anticlimactically shattered?
SUMMARY
1. Recov10 on Mokusei (+10 Hp)
2. Reposition behind Naviman & talk with aforementioned dull Navi (Tactical Movement? Autododge?)
3. Dodge (Or trying his hardest at least!)

As Mokusei healed and moved around, Blaze grumbled as he sent geysers of steam blasting at the guy, but wasn't able to knock him away.
"DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! TAKE THIS YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SH*T!" the Mafiosi roared as he sent a flaming punch at Mokusei, which actually hit, reducing him back to one HP again.
"TIME FOR THE GRAND FINALE YOU LITTLE B**TARD!" The pyromaniac roared as he quickly moved his hands and positioned his towering walls of flame closer to Mokusei.
"SAY GOODNIGHT!" Blaze roared as he sent waves of unbearable heat from the walls of fire, they burned into the navi's body, and sent him spiraling into the air, back into his PET.

As Mokusei was hit with the last flaming wall, and his body disintegrated into Data, all he could think of was his failure. Damnit! I Failed. . . I guess I deserve this then. . .
Rose watched as he disappeared, with her own angered thoughts. Damn! He lost! Now how are we supposed to go down in history as great heroes?! We won't even become honorary NetPolice Members! And we won't learn anymore about these Darkchips! She quickly tried to calm down. Well, at least he was just EJO'd, and not deleted.
As Mokusei reappeared in the PeT, he looked around. So, it looks like I was just activated an Emergency Jack Out, and wasn't deleted. That's good. Though it doesn't make up for the fact that I failed my mission. He looked up at Rose. "I apologize, I failed." He said.
Rose looked back at him. "Well, yeah, thanks for pointing out the obvious. I realized." She said. "But, whatever, there's always next time." Rose finished the sentence with a sigh.
There won't be a next war of this magnitude. But I'm sure she realizes that. She's just saying this to make herself feel better. So I won't say anything. Mokusei decided. "Yes."
"Well, we'll just have to check the news to see how everything turns out. " Rose replied. Seeing Mokusei stiffen up, she quickly continued. "And I don't care, there's no way I'm jacking you right back into the Net. You need to recover. Besides, we just saw what happened. You'd just die again." Rose said, clearly challenge Mokusei with her tone.
Mokusei just turned away. No way am I going to let her Rile me up that easily. After that battle, I know that all this indifference is just an act, so I have no need to prove anything to her. He thought. Now I do everything for me. Though I'll still have to listen to her, as "Obedience" is part of my way.
And with these final thoughts, Rose and Mokusei walked away from the Net, on to the Next step in their lives. Sure, they lost in this war, but they wouldn't let that bring them down for too long. No moping around from defeat for them, they were already on to better things.
