Down the Tubes!

"You know, if every virus was like that shrubby we wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore." Karin remarked, watching Sketi stare dumbfounded at the cowardly virus's antics. "Then we wouldn't be trying to deal with this toilet issue as well."

"Whatever! We're ending it this round for sure!" Sketi declared, pumping a fist into the air. Orange flashed across her knuckles but was quickly replaced by various other pastel shades. "Hey you!" She cried, lowering her arm to point at the remaining Cacty and Shrubby. "We just got news! You both have survived your life expectancy rates! This situation is about to be fixed!" Sketi called before running forwards, claws raised as she lept towards the Cacty, slashing rapidly at its head before leaping past towards the Shrubby and trying hard to score yet another hit on the bush-like virus.

"You know, that Cacty sure doesn't seem to mind tossing its own head. I hope it doesn't mind your attack too much." Karin told her Navi as she settled herself on the edge of the tub. "Good luck, you might just need it."

Sketi smiled as her claws tore through the virus group and she slowed to a halt. "/We/ don't need luck." Smugness filled her voice as the claws shifted through various colors and melted back into the petal-shapes. "What'd we get this time?" She asked as the petals pulled themselves free of her arms and zoomed to impale themselves in the data. Linky began glowing as the data was gathered, the petals that had done the collecting zipping to the rest of the set to transmit it.

"Money. 300 Zenny." Karin shot a nervous glance over at the toilet, her mouth twitching at the corners. "Alright, it hasn't stopped yet. Try to find a Program or whatever we need to fix quickly."

"Sounds like someone is afraid of getting her feet wet." A big grin appeared on Sketi's face as she wandered farther into the net. "Does this person think she'll melt?" The Navi privately decided teasing her Operator should be done more often, she missed the humor far too often. "We don't hope she doesn't think she's the wicked witch, though we know she really is." Karin stared at her Pet's screen in disbelief but didn't say anything, leaving Sketi to just giggle like mad and continue on.

(Requesting battle #4 please.)
Lo and behold, the valiant Sketi finds a group of virii waiting to challenge her! Ghosts and bats, of all things! It's the horror movie special! One of the bats seems to be a bit out of reach, however...

-BATTLE 4! FIGHT!-
"Hey, we didn't know the toilet was haunted." Sketi complained, tossing an arm towards the Spooky quartet. "Maybe we need to call a psychic instead." A grin crossed the Navi's face as she regarded her opponents.

"You do realize it'd be a pain to even find a psychic, right? Not many people believe in that stuff now." Karin replied with a dismissive wave of her hand. Sketi shuffled her feet a bit, Linky began the static noise yet again as colors flashed across the surface. The Navi cast a sideways glance at her default weapon then up at the ceiling of the virtual world.

"Are we going to have to listen to static every time we fight? If an enemy sneaks up behind us we won't be able to hear it before it attacks."

"I'll work on that when I learn more about it. For now just worry about the enemy you can see. Sending Shotgun to take care of two of the Spookies and Zapring for that bat." The chips were quickly slotted in and Karin leaned back to watch the resulting mess, trying to plan for her next move.

"Alllright! We suppose you want us to continue keeping away from attacks, right?" Even as the Navi spoke she brought her arm up to aim at the group, the wires glowing as her left arm shifted into the form of the Shotgun. Sketi's head bobbed as the shot fired, aimed at two of the ghost-like viruses. Her arm took its original shape and she moved to get the currently in reach bat in sight, two of the petals joining at the point and crackling with electricity as they floated to her hand.

"Yeah, keep yourself in one piece." Karin finally said, head tilting to the side as plans for editing her Navi's battle system grew in her mind. Sketi pulled back her arm, combined petals now crackling with electricity held between two fingers. A second's wait and she flung it towards the bat. She didn't wait to see if it hit or not, and began backing up, ready to fling herself to the side if a virus attacked.

Action 1: Shotgun 50 @ SpookyEXA & Spooky EXB
Action 2: Zapring 40 @ PulseBatA
Action 3: Dodge
The Shotgun blasts through the designated targets, and the Zapring hits the Pulsebat, stunning it. The latter Pulsebat flies down and emits a loud shrieking attack. Sketi narrowly dodges out of the way before she is hit by the tongue of a fast moving Spooky.

"Ewww, it licked us!" Sketi cried, stumbling backwards as she rubbed spit from her visor and face. "Send us the Cannon so we can take care of the first bat and Guard for defense!" She shuddered as she wiped a some slime from her side and glared at the ghosts.

"Sending chips." Karin replied, slotting in the demanded chips and leaning back, casting a glance at the toilet before returning her attention to the fight on the net. She resolved to watch quietly and see just what her Navi's plan was.

"Say your goodbyes!" Sketi called as Linky glowed with the chip-data. The wires on her back began glowing again as well, the light creeping from the back of her neck down as her lower left arm transformed once again, this time into a gray-colored cannon. The Navi took aim at the stunned Pulsebat and fired, the shot jerking her arm a bit.

"Good job, keep it up." Sketi leapt back with a nod to her Op's words, her arm shifting back to normal as the light retreated up the wires into her shoulders. The half-sphere portions of Linky stopped glowing as the static noises continued, the petals moving in front of Sketi and arranging themselves in a circle pattern in front of her with the points towards the viruses. Sketi stepped back to give her custom weapon more room, making a few motions with her hands to better direct the petals as they channeled the energy of the chip. She was ready to run as soon as something passed her guard, weight only on her toes and joins there.

~~
Action 1: Cannon 40 @ Pulsebat A
Action 2: Guard
Action 3: Dodge
With the bat stunned, Sketi scores an easy kill. The second one moves back into the air, putting it a bit out of normal reach. One of the spooks attacks, but with the reflective surface of the Guard protecting Sketi, its tongue changes direction, curving back to hit it in the eye.

"We didn't realize their tongues could bend that way." Sketi said with a giggle and a grin, one hand partially hiding her mouth from view. She gestured with her left hand, the petals turning and drifting serenely back to where they usually floated. "Though, it doesn't surprise us, they are just viruses of course. If you send us the Rageclaw we should be able to finish this fight in a few (turns)." Dark grey flashed across various parts of Linky, the color moving rapidly across the surface of her custom weapon before disappearing.

Karin nodded silently again, once more sliding in the chip without saying anything aloud. Her fingers moved though, opening a few extra windows as she called up information on the viruses to plot out the best moves. Of course, glances were directed to the ever ominous toilet, who knew what issues might come up.

"Right! Lets finish this up!" Sketi flexed her fingers as her custom weapon glowed with chip data, petals removing themselves from around the half-sphere to float near her arms. They dove into her lower arms, embedding the tips and melting down. The multi-color goo spread across her arms and hands again, shifting into the shape of the Rageclaw and solidifying. Sketi lunged towards the injured ghost, attempting to stab it in the face. She whirled away from virus, dancing to the side to keep out of the way of any attacks.

(Why yes, yes I did expect everything to be in crazy speak.)

"Get the bat." Karin suggested, tapping a few buttons as she examined the opponents' health. "There'll be only one enemy to deal with then." Sketi gave a quick nod, her lips moving upwards in an eager grin.

"Lets party!" The Navi raced forwards with a gleeful shout, moving her arms to the side and bending them. She leapt towards the bat, slashing once at its face and another time across its wing. "Have fun flying now!" She called over her shoulder, her expression shifting to surprise as she stumbled. The side of Sketi's helmet banged on the tiles of the digital world as she managed turn her head to the side, broken visors were not fun. Hopefully any retaliatory attacks would fly over her head.

Action 1+2: Rageclaw 40 @ Pulsebat B

Sketi manages to finish off the Pulsebat. The Spooky attacks, but the navi narrowly dodges the tongue, its spit flies everywhere and some lands on you. Ick.

"Groosss." Sketi whined as she stood once more, brushing off the spit with the back of her hands. "Well, there's only you left, this won't take us long at all!" She didn't bother wasting more time talking about the matter, choosing to rush forwards with claws ready. She lunged for the ghost, swiping twice at its face before jerking her body away and circling towards its back. Sketi leapt forwards again, attempting to slam her claws through the virus's body.

"Acting like that would get you even more injured if there were other viruses still living." Karin remarked, fingers idly tapping at the sides of the Pet. "Getting badly injured now will be a real problem." Sketi staggered away from the Spooky, wiping the back of a hand across her forehead.

"Yeah, yeah." She turned to face the virus, waiting for it to either die or attack.

-Victory!-
Rewards: 300z, Pulsar1
"Viiiictory!~" Sketi cried, a hand on her hips and the other in the air in the victory symbol. A quiet 'click' sounded from the half-spheres and the Navi looked up in confusion even as the claws melted into the petals once more. "Wha-did you hear that Karin?"

"Yes, I did." The Operator dragged a screenshot to a folder on her Pet. "I decided to capture a shot of your pose for future uses."

"Those future uses better not include photo-shopping us into dorky outfits!" The petals zoomed away from the semi-worried Navi to the data piles, once more absorbing them and zipping back before transmitting. "Or into any lack of outfits!"

"Wouldn't dream of it." A ghost of a smile crossed the teen's face as she looked at the toilet. "Want to continue?"

"YES!" The triumphant shout was ringing in cyberspace almost before the Operator had finished her question. Sketi giggled gleefully and ran forwards, looking for another virus pack. Injuries ignored of course, they weren't /that/ bad yet.

(Requesting Battle #5)
"You aren't bad, girly, blub blub," A voice commented. Sketi turned to find...
A fat... "bubbly" Heelnavi.
Approximately 6'11" in height by real world standards, this navi consisted of mainly, a giant clear bubble filled with water, stubby, teal armored, arms and feet in the shape of linked bubbles, and a pan shaped head with two wide white eyes and a yellow fin on top. The Heelnavi bounced his way toward Sketi, observing her.
"Wow, you're kinda cute, blub," the navi commented, observing the female navi, "I'm gonna make you mine, blub! Get ready, blub! BlubbyBubble.exe is coming for you, blub!" the water navi cried, bouncing closer to Sketi.
The female navi could feel her battle routines kicking in, go get that creep!

BlubbyBubble.exe: 200 HP

Sketi.exe: 70 HP

-KICK THAT GUY'S ASS-
-BATTLE 5-
-ATTACK!-
Sketi stared in shock at the HeelNavi, her bottom jaw hanging loose. "Y-you're kidding us, right?" The oval marked Navi shook her head and groaned, slipping into a fighting stance. "We'll just have to slap your hands!"

"Right, sending chip data." Karin paused, hand hovering over the chips on the bathroom sink before sliding them in Her fingers then turned to the Pet, typing up a message on a private aside to Sketi. o|Pulsar, dodge, Zapring.|o The Linky system began glowing as it downloaded the selected chips, the owner giving a nod as the words appeared on the inside of her visor.

"Alright, we'll try to make it count!" The Navi held her hands out in front of her, two of the pastel petals floating to her hands. They floated under her hands side-by-side, softly glowing with the chip data from Pulsar1. When Sketi was sure they were prepared she gave her fingers a slight flick, the weapons flying forwards with the movement in an attempt to stab into BlubbyBubble.EXE. Sketi hopped backwards then darted to the side, slowing as she prepared her next attack.

"Ready to sting?" She called to the other Navi with a grin, hands moving as two more of Linky's petals floated forwards. They joined at the tip, crackling with the electricity provided by the Zapring chip. She gingerly took one of the ends, pulling her arm back before flinging the weapon forwards, trying to score another hit on the opposing Navi. The petals that had been used floated back to her, quickly rejoining the groupings by her head.

~~
Action 1: Pulsar1 70 @ BlubbyBubble.EXE
Action 2: Dodge
Action 3: Zapring 40(x2?)+Stun @ BlubbyBubble.EXE
"Oh no you don't, blub!" BlubbyBubble.exe shrieked, very unmanly-like, and retracted his ligaments into his fish tank-like body, having the Pulsar bounce harmlessly off him.
"Take this, blub!" the water navi bellowed as his body rolled speedily toward Sketi, water spraying out of the tube and covering the rolling mass. "I'll roll you over with my love, blub! Geyser Canonball!" Fortunately, the female navi had the foresight to jump out of the way of the attack and re-positioned her weapon at the aqua navi, blasting it with a ring of electricity.
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! That hurts!" BlubbyBubble cried out in pain as the electricity debilitated him from moving any further.
"What's wrong? Is it my face? My body? It's my body isn't it! Curse you all! It's not fair!" the fat navi complained.

BlubbyBubble.exe: 120 HP (Stun!)

Karin tapped her chin a couple times before giving a nod. "Releasing locks on your signature attack and sending Guard." Her fingers flew across the buttons on the Pet after sliding the Guard chip in, a grin on her face.

"Alllright! Hey bubble-boy! Mind if we get physical?" Sketi asked with a wink as Linky fanned out beside her, the pieces suddenly flinging themselves toward BlubbyBubble.EXE. Sketi followed them almost immediately after, glowing a faint orange. Just before reaching Blubby she twisted sideways, letting the side of her body slam into the opposing Navi.

"Hah! Sorry for being rude, we usually don't get touchy-feely 'til date five!" Sketi cried as she quickly moved away, turning to face him. Her custom weapon jerked its pieces free and darted back to hover near her ears. There was a moment of confusion as they sorted themselves out. The petals drifted forwards, turning their points towards each other in a protective circle in front of the female as they channeled the guard chip's data.

Karin crossed her fingers and smiled, her Navi was doing far better then Karin had originally expected.

Sketi bashed into the side of BlubbyBubble, knocking the aqua navi out of its stunned state, and back into action. But, after the attack, the opponent was... drooling!? With heart-eyes!?
"O-oh my... Th-that felt soooo good, blub~ <3" bubble-boy screeched in euphoria. "Please, abuse me more, blub~ <3" BlubbyBubble.exe pleaded, blushing.
OK, WTF IS GOING ON?
