In a dull gray beam of light, ViralMan appeared in ACDC Net. He took a casual glance around, before sighing.
"Back to square one. I guess it's unavoidable," said the navi with disdain.
"Oh, cheer up. The sooner you get going, the sooner we can get to square two," said his operator with a grin.
"I wish you'd lay off the happy. I liked it better when you pretended to be moody."
"Just go already. Before I come up with a decent comeback."
The navi didn't bother to respond as he began a steady walking pace out into the Net, while Zeo wondered if there was even a comeback for that.
((Looking for battle 1. I predict mistakes galore.
Here we go again.))
Here We Go...

As Viralman walks through the...less than safe streets of ACDC town's net, three Metools appear from out of nowhere, brandishing their pickaxes in the air and challenging the navi to battle...their funeral I guess...

((The last time I fought 3 Mets, RP standards were way lower. It's kind of hard to have detail fighting 3 Mets.))
"Alright, here we go, our ticket to square two!" exclaimed Zeo, readying a chip.
"A pack of Mets is our ticket to square two? I give up," said ViralMan.
"Whatever. Cannon coming your way," said Zeo, slotting in the chip.
ViralMan began to move, the Cannon appearing on his right arm. He circled to the left of the Mets, attempting to use some kind of strategy in such a simple battle. Running at the Mets, he jumped, turning in the air. Once he completed a 180 turn over them, he took aim and fired the Cannon, propelling himself further away. As he landed, he raised his hand in a signal for another chip.
"Shotgun this time. Go crazy," said Zeo, again placing a chip in the PET.
"As crazy as one can get with a Shotgun," said ViralMan, approaching the viruses again. His buster materialized on his arm. Taking what could be considered careful aim, he faked a move and jumped sideways, trying to line up the Shotgun. Afterwards, he landed, ready for whatever they could throw at him.
"At least you're still competent," remarked Zeo.
"At least I still like you. But that could change," retorted ViralMan.
1. Cannon to MetoolA (40)
2. Shotgun to MetoolB, try to line up with Metool C (50)
3. Dodge

Viralman helicopters into the air and blasts a Cannon at the first Metool, deleting it without too much hassle. Next he moves in with his Shotgun, but one of his enemies sees this coming from a mile away and.... hides under its helmet. Its partner is still blasted though.
Hmmm... looks like you'll have to flip it up pretty hard.

ViralMan looked at the Met and sighed.
"What does it think that will accomplish? It's not like I'm going to just leave," said ViralMan, not sure how to proceed.
"It doesn't really matter. Try this one," said Zeo. getting out another chip.
ViralMan stuck out his arm for effect as a large claw appeared on it. "What's this one?" he asked, slightly confused. Zeo though for a moment. "RageClaw1. It's supposed to be able to throw opponents, so I figured it would help," he said finally. ViralMan shrugged, shifting into a combat stance.
"It can't see you, ya know. That's pretty much useless," commented Zeo.
"Shut up," said ViralMan, running at the Met. He threw himself forward, aiming for the rim of its helmet and heaving upwards. He then took a swing at the Met to finish it.
"That should do it," he said, moving back a bit.
1. RageClaw1 throw to lift Met (?)
2. RageClaw1 slash at Met (40)
3. Dodge
(I'm assuming throws count as an action. Never used RageClaw much.))

Viralman takes a little time to belittle the cowering virus before preparing a curved claw. He manages to get a claw under the met's helmet and curls it into the air. A quick slash makes quick work of the virus, slashing it into 4 pieces.

Zeo glanced around the Net through his PET. "So, what'd we get?" he asked, urging ViralMan to look. ViralMan walked over and collected the data.
"25z, and a Guard1 chip," said the navi, also looking around.
"That's not that bad," said Zeo, staring at the chip. "Besides, I'm sure the next battle will have even better rewards."
"You say that like it's a given. Oh well. I'm gonna keep going."
Zeo nodded as ViralMan continued along, searching for more viruses.

ViralMan spotted the viruses and immediately shouted, "Cannon!" to his operator, dashing towards the viruses.
"On the way," replied Zeo, sliding the chip into his PET.
ViralMan, now closer to the viruses, paused for a moment as the Cannon appeared. Taking quick aim, he fired the gun at the Met, trying to delete it before it could try to hide. He stopped after and looked at the stove-like viruses.
"What the heck are those things?" asked ViralMan.
"Those things can fry you. I don't like being repetitive, but we should try to make as many out now as we can."
The OldStoves looked very odd to ViralMan. "Those stoves look like they're crazy," he said, his arm becoming a buster. Zeo sighed. "Thy're just viruses. What do you expect?" The navi shrugged, placed his remaining hand on his Shotgun loaded buster, and smiled. "I expect them to die painful deaths." He attempted to manuever around one of the stoves and reach the Spooky. The Shotgun blast soared at the virus. He backed off and assumed a defensive stance as a yellow shield appeared.
"Technically, they don't die. They get deleted," corrected Zeo.
"Painful deaths sounds better," said ViralMan.
1. Cannon to Metool (40)
2. Shotgun to Spooky, attempt to hit OldStoves (any) (50)

((ViralMan's line about the OldStoves dying may sound odd now, as when I finished the post I changed my mind and attacked the Spooky instead. Don't have time to totally change the post, I've got homework to do.))

Viralman pumps his Cannon into the Metool, deleting it without too much hassle. Next, he takes his Shotgun and tries to maneuver around the Oldstoves, but one simply turned and torched the navi on the way around. Crying out in pain, the navi fired a random shot at the Oldstoves and... hit two. Whew.
The Spooky zipped up to him and tried attacking with its tongue, but ViralMan put his Guard up just in time, and the attack was reflected back.
Though the Oldstove's attack had weakened the ground below Viralman. He better get off it, quick!

ViralMan took one look at the cracked ground beneath him, then jumped forwards, off of it.
"Are you okay?" asked Zeo, with a hint of concern.
"Fine. It's only fire. We can talk later, just give me something to use now," said his navi sternly.
Zeo smiled and looked at his remaining chips. "I've got a Heatshot," he said. ViralMan raised his arm and ran towards the Spooky. The weapons appeared, and he stuck out his arm, aiming at the ghostly virus. "This is for coming near me," said ViralMan, firing the Heatshot. As he backed up, a Sword extended on his arm.
"Thank you," said the navi.
"No problem," replied Zeo.
ViralMan judged the distance and jogged forward before launching himself at the final OldStove. He brought the sword down on the virus and immediately dodged left, in case the stupid thing survived somehow.
1. Heatshot to Spooky (40)
2. Sword to OldStoveC (80)

Viralman manages to get off a shot and torch the Spooky before it has a chance to teleport around. He then moves in on the last virus, raising his sword and leaving a broken panel behind him. He brings down the weapon to fell the stove and complete his battle.

"That's the end of that," said Zeo, pushing his hair out of his eyes. "Nicely done."
"Thanks. Looks like we got zenny," said ViralMan, collecting the data.
"Nothing wrong with a little money."
The navi nodded and started walking again. Zeo yawned. "Pay attention, Zeo. Just because we're doing okay now doesn't mean that it will stay that way," ViralMan said as he walked.
"I know, I know. But you're the one getting all the action. You can't blame me for a bit of boredom, especially when nothing's going on."
ViralMan sighed as he continued along.

As Viralman walked further into the net, the temperature seems to go up. He soon found the reason as a few fire virii were huddled around a single lava panel like a bunch of hobos. They spotted Viralman and got into position to attack.

"Heh, hobo viruses," laughed Zeo, going over strategies in his head.
ViralMan was, also. "They're mostly physical, which means if we're careful, we can use that to our advantage," he said.
He walked forward and punched his left arm forward. As his arm fully stretched out, his buster materialized and he smiled. "On the same wavelength, I suppose." ViralMan fired the Shotgun at the viruses, hoping they would stay close enough together for mutiple hits. Aware that they were probably going to counterattack, he called to the sky:
"Zeo, send me some equipment, I'm going to get physical with these guys."
Zeo retrieved two chips and slotted them in in rapid succession. "Be careful," he cautioned.
"Aren't I always?" ViralMan replied, the Sword appearing on his arm. He charged towards the Spikey, the Guard now showing up, held in front. Once he got close, he carefully rolled to the right, taking a swipe at the Spikey. Steadying himself, he moved back to what he thought was a safe distance.
"This is pretty good exercise," said ViralMan.
"I don't think navis need exercise," commented Zeo.
1. Shotgun to ChampyA, possible spread to others (50)
2. Sword to Spikey (80)
3. Guard (either blocking an attack during the charge, or if it survives that, blocking other attacks.

Shotgun round made a lucky shot and damaged two viruses for the price of one. As Viralman charged in with sword and shield, one of the damaged Champy's ran in and deleted itself on the reflective Guard. The Spikey couldn't evade in time and took a painful slash from the sword strike.

"A successful attack, then," said ViralMan, brandishing his Sword.
Zeo smiled. "Yep, got them. Time to get them again."
ViralMan backed up a bit more, eyeing the viruses. "The sooner they're gone, the better. I think I have just the thing." The Sword disappeared and he took a look at the viruses. He raised his hand again, the hand quickly being replaced by a multi-barreled vulcan. "Overly theatrical, don't you think?" said Zeo, still smiling. The navi ignored him, something he felt he'd be doing quite a bit in the future.
He swung down his still raised arm and placed his opposite hand on the remaining part of his forearm. Aiming at the farthest left virus and sweeping to the right, he fired three shots. Immediately afterward, he rolled left as a Cannon adorned his left arm. Steadying his aim with his right arm, his came out of the roll and fired the Cannon at one of the Champys.
"I need a word for 'more than overly theatrical'," said Zeo.
"I need a word for 'pompous idiot'," retorted ViralMan.

The Spikey howled and took off, barrelling straight toward Viralman. Its clear intent was to tear the Navi's face off. Just as the Spikey was launching itself into a leap, Viralman opened up with his vulcan, tearing the virus to shreds. The Spikey-bits exploded into packets of raw data that went shooting past Viralman, trailing little binary comet-tails.
The Viral Vulcan shots ripped into the two Champies as well. One couldn't stand up under the force of the attack, but the other emerged from the bullet storm with little more than a few craters on its face. It warped in to deliver a flaming uppercut, but when it got there, Viralman was already gone. The Champy's fist whooshed through the air. Before it could figure out what was going on, Viralman had already pegged it from behind with the Cannon.

Zeo punched his fist into the air. "Woo! We did it again!" he said happily.
"You say that like there was any doubt we wouldn't," said ViralMan, picking up the spoils. "We are now 290z richer, plus a new Heatshot chip."
His operator was a tad disappointed at the repeat chip, but nodded anyway. "Let's go for a bit more, then we can go buy you some upgrades."
ViralMan smiled, filing away the money and walking onward.
