New Navi

The cano is thorwn into the bat and then two seedbats are sturck. One of its friends then strike Brawlers.

Brawler: 70
Managing to smack one of the bats with a high-reaching uppercut, Brawler decided to continue the tactic to bring the rest down. If he could reach them with a punch, he could probably grab one and bring it down to his level. He stood under the trio of remaining virii. They chittered a little at his presence.

Bending and straightening his knees in preparation to jump, he brought himself as low as possible and then leapt for the first one in a mighty bound.

He missed, falling back down in a landing that shook the foundations of the perches the virii were hanging from. If only they would fall off that easily.

"What are you doing?" Anthony asked.

"Fishing." Brawler replied with a chuckle, making his second attempt at grabbing a Seedbat.

"I have a Cannon," Anthony said, "Do you need it?"

Brawler landed again with a thunderous crash, "Nah, I like my method better."

"Okay fine but wrap it up." Anthony said.

Brawler smiled and nodded, "Okay, boss."

Learning from his previous two failures, he was a little more familiar with how they dodged and attacked. He was sure he could nad one now. He bent his knees again and exploded off the ground in a leap twice as fast as before, straight at one of the bats with both hands extended with fingers hungry for the small creature hanging from above.

The bat looked down, over its green wings and saw the bright toothy grin of Brawler, rocketing towards it.



1 - Rageclaw Throw SeedbatB, SeedbatC (20 dmg)
2 - Rageclaw Uppercut SeedbatC (40 dmg)
3 - (poor) dodge
The bat is thrown to the side, but the other dodges its comrad's corpse. It is then struck by the next blow. It then fires back at Brawler, hitting him.

((Don't give enemies movements))
Frustrated beyond reproach, Brawler's impatience gets the better of him. He howls loudly, exposing his body in a taunting stance before diving for the bats again with his Rageclaw enhancement. By now, the chip was starting to wane and on the verge of falling apart but Brawler was only concerned with finishing this battle by any means necessary. He jumped to the perch the bats were clinging to and sank his sharpened claws into it. He made his way across the scaffolding to the bats with his smile never once leaving his face.

He tore into the two remaining enemies with his Rageclaw until it finally gave way to overuse and shattered, revealing Brawler's relatively exposed black gloves. Without its assistance he found himself clinging to nothing and falling back to the ground.

"I guess I'll be needing that Cannon now..." Brawler said, looking to the bats.

"Uhh sure. Here you go." Anthony said.

The navi's black mitt turned green and glowed slightly from the chip data. He looked at the system of overhanging pipes and wires the bats were suspending themselves from. Between them lay a sort of junction that seemed to hold it all together. It looked like one solid attack would finish this. Brawler bent down and quickly shot into the air with a Cannon uppercut, smashing his way through the virii and the main cluster of mangled cables.

Some of the ceiling was shaken loose by his attack, raining debris down on Brawler as he fell again. His landing was masked by junk data crashing down after him, covering the area in a brown and grey cloud of particulate matter.

"Brawler!!" Anthony cried out.



1 - Rageclaw Throw SeedbatC, SeedbatD (20 dmg)
2 - Rageclaw SeedbatD (40 dmg)
3 - Cannon random (40 dmg)
Brawler's tattered weapon nonetheless finished off the weakened Seedbat. The other one, however, closed its wings as Brawler went in for his finishing strike, breaking the claw's tips to pieces as it connected. The Navi wasn't ready to give in yet, though, and delivered an uppercut to the pipe system above that sent debris raining down on both himself and the final enemy. The Seedbat, however, was much more poorly equipped to handle large falling debris.

"Brawler! Brawler!" Anthony called out.

By now the dust has cleared and the mangled pile of junk was clearly visible but Brawler was not. Pieces of pipes and girders ending in twisted razor-edged ends did not provide calming thoughts.

"Aw man, and it was a new Navi too." Anthony groaned.

A fist emerged from the rubble and pushed away at the surrounding debris. Brawler rose up from the garbage, his smile as bright and creepy as ever.

"Brawler? You're alive?" Anthony said.

"I'm not THAT weak..." Brawler said, brushing himself off. He was covered in small scrapes but he was still in decent condition.

"Thank god... Okay I'm going to jack you out." Anthony said.

"One more battle." Brawler said.

"You barely got out of that one alive! What makes you think you can survive another one?" Anthony protested.

Brawler had no reply except for his grin. Anthony didn't know what to do. This was a new Navi and he didn't want it to be deleted so quickly but he also didn't want to wimp out at the first sign of trouble.

Anthony hesitated before he reluctantly agreed to let Brawler continue.
Virus Attack!

Battle Whatever Start!
((battle 4))

Two new virii had taken the stage. A pair of blue Spikeys provided support for a group of lesser virii. Anthony was worried for his Navi's sake since Brawler didn't seem to worry at all. To him, this was just another battle with no special considerations.

"Spikeys..." Anthony noted.

"They look tough." Brawler said. His smile widened, "Good."

"Shotgun and Cannon coming up." Anthony said.

Brawler had already made his offensive dash to the first Metool and Shrubby. His arms trailed behind him as he ran forward. It streamlined him and added an ever-so insignificant increase to his speed but attributing much more to his reputation as a crazy brute. One of his hands glimmered with a faint blue aura, charged with the Shotgun chip's energy.

"Hello." Brawler said politely as he leapt into fray with his fist pulled back.

He landed fist-first in front of the Metool, or rather, on the Metool. A wave of destruction trailed behind it into the face of the unsuspecting Shrubby, previously placid in the thought that it was safe behind its fellow virus. The blue aura gave way to a new green glow that enveloped the same fist. Brawler tilted his head to face the Metool's neighbour and swiped at it with a swing of his Cannon-infused fist.

"The Spikeys are going to attack!" Anthony said.

The momentum from his swing was strong enough to turn Brawler's body completely and caused him to reposition himself in preparation for a sprint. Whether it was a coincidence or a planned maneuver, the Navi continued his melee assault by running headlong into the pair of Spikeys. His attacks so far were so well-connected, one might assume he had this planned all along but to Brawler, each attack was an individual event and the only blow that mattered was the finishing one.

He ran for the Spikeys in a headlong rush. Even at the onset of their fireball barrage, Brawler didn't turn away or slow down in the slightest.

"Whoa, whoa what are you doing!?" Anthony said, "They're going to fire! Are you crazy!?"

"I am what I am." Brawler replied with a chuckle and promptly rammed his forehead at one of the Spikeys. Once again, overpowered by his momentum, Brawler continued forward and found himself rolling over the Spikey. He stopped and realized he might be able to use it.

"Hehe... I'm going to need a Rageclaw." Brawler said.



1 - Shotgun MetoolA, ShrubbyA (50 dmg)
2 - Cannon MetoolB (40 dmg)
3 - Headbutt SpikeyA (40 dmg + stun) and use as cover
Brawler's Shotgun-powered fist took down two opponents, and the impact of his second assault crushed an enemy Metool. The Spiky was taken quite off guard by Brawler's vicious headbutt, and the Navi was able to use it as a shield; the other viruses were hardly considerate of this, however. One Metool released a shockwave, tearing through both the Spiky and the Navi.

MetoolA: DELETED!
MetoolB: DELETED!
MetoolC: 40
ShrubbyA: DELETED!
ShrubbyB: 50
ShrubbyC: 50
SpikeyA: 40
SPikeyB: 90


Brawler: 40
((Is MetoolB supposed to be deleted?))

Brawler happily took the shockwave attack knowing that it had to punch through the Spikey to reach him. However, the accumulated damage was starting to get to him and even his endurance to pain was being overpowered by the actual injuries themselves.

"Cannon battlechip! Slot-in! Download!" Anthony said.

Brawler's fist glowed green again as he said, "How unfortunate." and followed up by unleashing a haymaker on top of the Spikey's head.

"Could use that Rageclaw now..." Brawler said, staring down the second Spikey.

"Coming up!" Anthony said.

As soon as Brawler's gloves changed again, he lunged for the Spikey, attempting to wrestle it into submission. If he was lucky, he'd be able to ride it and get off the ground. The safest place in this battle was now atop of that Spikey since the Shrubbies and Metool were limited to ground-based attacks. If he could mount that Spikey, he would be in a prime position to bring down the strongest virus on the field. There was even a chance that the Spikey would attack its allies in the struggle. None of this had really crossed Brawler's mind and his only concern was grappling with it and seeing if he could bring it down by getting on top.

"What are you trying to do?" Anthony asked.

"Not sure," Brawler replied between breaths, "Just fighting."

In his attempts to bring down the viral canine, he managed to stutter a fractured sentence between his attacks, "Name's Brawler. Lemme. Show you why."

With a surge of strength he attempted to complete his submission by slamming the Spikey's head into the ground.



1 - Cannon SpikeyA (40 dmg)
2 - Rageclaw subdue SpikeyB (40 dmg)
3 - Ride and headlock SpikeyB, aim muzzle towards Metools and Shrubbies
Brawler's strategy worked out well. The frightened Spikey managed to blast a Shrubby trying to knock him off his back. The rest of the virii are too confused to do anything.

MetoolA: DELETED!

Special: You're on SpikeyB's back.
((lol omg so awesome))

"This... This isn't possible!" Anthony said.

He was shocked that his navi, who was still technically fresh off the assembly line, could actually end up riding a Spikey. He hoped that Brawler would be good enough to delete one but being able to ride one was something else entirely. Despite the virus's wild flailing, Brawler held on tightly and didn't intend to let go any time soon. He tried to secure himself by placing the Spikey in a one-armed headlock.

"Sounds like... You have a cold!" Brawler said, "Come on! Cough it out!"

He twisted the Spikey's neck to face the remaining two viruses against its will before he pulled back his free hand and struck his mount in the back of the head with his palm.

"Cough! It! Out!" Brawler said, striking once with each word.

"It's no good! Get off now!" Anthony said.

With a short sigh of disappointment, Brawler gave up his role as a Spikey rider just as easily as he had attained it. He barrel-rolled off its back but wasn't done with it just yet. Kicking off the ground as he touched down, Brawler made a very short dash under his opponent and rose up with a pair of open palms into the Spikey's underbelly.

"What are you doing now!?" Anthony asked.

"I don't... Wanna litter... So I have to... Throw away... My trash!" replied Brawler in short fragments, straining to lift and hurl the Spikey away. He could hear the Rageclaw starting to crack again from the stress. He needed to finish this battle quickly.



1 - Aim muzzle at Metool and Shrubby
2 - Rageclaw SpikeyB (40 dmg) (and try to make it attack again)
3 - Rageclaw Throw SpikeyB, ShrubbyB (20 dmg)
The spikey is thrown every which way, finally landing on a shrubby before fragmenting. A met then carefully hits him with a shockwave.

MetoolA: DELETED!
MetoolB: DELETED!
MetoolC: 40
ShrubbyA: DELETED!

Brawler stretched out a little after tossing away the Spikey. It was a little more exertion than usual with the last throw but nothing he couldn't handle. His stretching routine was cut short by a Metool's shockwave. The attack struck him in the leg, jolting him a little. He turned to see the last two enemies to be deleted.

Anthony was more or less dumbfounded at Brawler's ability. He had nothing to say and simply waited for his navi to finish the job. Still it was impressive for him to go so far on his first run.

Letting out one last yawn before he continued, Brawler lowered his arms to his sides and let out what could only be described as a battle roar. Anthony wasn't sure what he was trying to accomplish if anything. As soon as Brawler stopped, he ran for the two viruses, fists smashing wildly along his path. Cracks appeared in the panels beneath him and in the gauntlets themselves. The chip was wearing out and Brawler's reckless action wasn't helping to preserve them.

Finally Anthony spoke, "What.. What are you doing? The Rageclaw is gonna break!"

Brawler smiled as he continued to rampage his way towards the Metool and Shrubby. Anthony realized the situation when Brawler started to hum the theme to "Ride of the Valkyries".

His navi was insane.



1 - Rageclaw MetoolC (40 dmg)
2 - Rageclaw ShrubbyB (40 dmg)
Both are beat down.

"Okay, we're done here." Anthony said.

Brawler turned and replied, "Too bad... And it was just getting good too."

"You're taking too much damage an the manual says I need to return you to your PET to restore your systems." said Anthony.

"Party pooper." Brawler uttered before being teleported away.
A tiny glimmer appeared in the ACDC Net sky. It glowed brighter until it crashed into the ground like a meteor. A large cloud of smoke covered the crash site but it cleared to reveal Brawler stepping out casually. His jack-in was always a spectacle and drew attention but he didn't care. All that mattered was that he was in and he could fight.

"How's everything?" Anthony asked.

"Super," Brawler said, "Now let's go find us some asses to kick."

Anthony laughed, "Okay."

((Battle 1))
Virus Attack!

CanodumbA: 50

Battle 1 Start!
"Shotgun the Cannons and we'll test out the Minibomb on the Spikey." Anthony said. He wasn't sure if Brawler would be able to use the Minibomb 'normally' but he hoped for it. Unlike the other chips in his repetoire, Minibombs exploded and being in close range of an attack had a chance of injuring Brawler if he insisted on keeping it attached to him as he used it.

"Okay." Brawler replied with a smile. The onset of a new battle always seemed to put him in a good mood. Perhaps it wasn't so much a good mood as it was his sadistic side being let out momentarily. In any case, he was ready to fight. Brawler had fought a pair of Cannons before and the best strategy that worked out for him was lining them up and punching through one to reach the other. He strafed around the field waiting for his arm to load up the Shotgun chip. His glove shifted from its usual shade of black to a lighter blue hue. He didn't have to look, he could feel the change and it was his cue to attack. He immediately bolted forward in an offensive charge and let loose the Shotgun on the Cannon in front of him. A wave of force erupted from Brawler's fist all the way through to the Cannon behind.

The second chip hadn't loaded yet and Brawler was stuck with the Spikey to contend with. As a computer program, he operated at hundreds of times faster than the human mind and waiting around for that chip was a waste of time. If the viruses were as fast as him, they would take this opportunity to launch a counter attack.

Brawler couldn't allow that.

He continued past where the Cannons stood and grappled the broad shoulders of the Spikey and pulled his head back. He made an extra wide grin as he rammed his visor forward into the the viral beast's jagged muzzle.

"Slotting-in Minibomb!" Anthony said.

"About time..." Brawler thought.

Instead of appearing in Brawler's hand, the minibomb enveloped Brawler's hand like a bubble. The round blue shape of the bomb completely covered his glove all the way up to his wrist. The green lateral stripe crossed over where his knuckles would have lined up if they were visible.

"A boxing glove," Brawler said, giving his interpretation of the chip's appearance, "nice..." He pulled back his fist to deliver a punch with it.

"Wait! Hold on!!" Anthony cried out. As much as it looked like a boxing glove, the Minibomb was still an explosive and being attached to Brawler's arm was the worst case scenario in Anthony's point of view. However, Brawler was too intent on trying out the new attack and had already extended his punch, Minibomb and all.

It exploded.



1 - Shotgun CanodumbA, Canodumbb (50 dmg)
2 - Headbutt Spikey (40 dmg + stun)
3 - Minibomb Spikey (60 dmg)
Brawler's fast-acting blows took down both cannons easily. He managed to stun the Spikey before finishing it off with a deadly punch to its gut, which seemed to explode as it connected. The blast had a ricochet, knocking Brawler back slightly only by the element of surprise, but didn't seem to actually hurt him.

CanodumbA: DELETED!
CanodumbB: DELETED!
Spikey: DELETED!
