Ascent

The navi didn't need to consult with her operator to know what she had to do. The moment the shield dissipated the navi rolled quickly behind the knight closest to her, quickly bringing up her rage claw weapon up beneath it, attempting to get off another throw at the other knightly virus.

Before it would reach him however, Aestus would quickly dash over behind the other knight to thrust her naginata into the ground just before it, with the intent of impaling and holding it to keep it from moving.

Once her weapon found ground, she leaped to the side and away from an immediate counterattack.

<<Convoluted though it may be, I'm just looking to see if it can be done.>>
((So, your using your buster/custom weapon to keep the virus in place?...Looks do-able for me. And...try to make the actions a little less complicated XP))

Her complicated actions was a success as the rageclaw found its place clawed deep into the swordy's armor and thrown towards his own comrade, who was too scared from the vicious intent Aestus was giving off. The sword from the virus was still on the ground, even when its owner was clearly deleted, maybe it was seeking someone else to replace?

The navi sighed as she finally addressed the wound on her lower chest. Concern flashed in Cassius' eyes as he assessed the damage.

"That sword dealit got a pretty good slash in... Great job on maintaining in spite of it all." Aestus smiled slightly, brooding over letting herself make such a careless mistake as to be hit.

"Your combat skills have increased something crazy though. You were amazing, I have to say." The warrioress straightened herself and regained her composure, gazing into the screen her operator floated beside her in with anticipation.

"If you're ready to go back out, I won't stop you. If you do though, the viruses are bound to get tougher, so we have to take that into consideration. Bu-"

"Yes." She replied simply, cutting Cassius off mid-sentence. Her eyes hardened and she turned to face the openness of the net. He smirked and nodded, examining his new chip data.

"Hey, we got a sword chip. That'll work out nicely, eh?" Aestus nodded vaguely and set herself in her battle stance.

"Ready when you are, darlin'."

][Next Battle Request][
((Augh, sorry to say this, but please keep track of what battle you're on. DX))

Aestus walks further in and spots three growling, hungry, flaming wolves. It looks like to be one hell of a fight.

-BATTLE 3-
-GO-
][My mistake. It's the details that catch me from time to time.][

"Cannons, knights and ghosts, now hell hounds. The net has an interesting host of viruses that call it home. Alright." A shine overtook one end of Aestus' naginata, the blade lengthening considerably and expanding down a portion of the weapon's shaft. She took a brief moment to evaluate the weapon's new weight and gave it a small trial swing before rushing into battle.

"This thing is powerful, soften up each of em with one swing and we'll fly it from there. Stay sharp, I don't know what these things can do and I don't want to have them hitting you to find out." The navi rushed toward her opponents, leaping left and right as she advanced to keep from having a bead drawn. She came within ten feet of the central spikey then leaped into the air, doing a somersault with her blade held outward. As she passed over the wolf, the blade's path directed where it stood beneath her. The moment she landed behind the virii, she spun quickly to her left, swinging the sword's blade in a wide arc toward another of the spikey's backs.

"Take up the defensive, I'm not going to take chances with this one." The navi seemed to understand the command before it was issued, pushing the sword into the ground an pulling the weapon with her as she vaulted backward and out of immediate range. Again the shining form of a shield washed over the warrioress, forming a prismatic and ethereal luster as it took it's hardened and finished form.

Guard 1
Aestus brings out a sword and slashes at two of the spikies, hitting them both hard as the uninjured spikey sends a small fireball from flaming maw and Aestus manages to dodge as she brings up a shield in front of her as one of the weakened spikies manage to hit said shield and gets hit by the counter attack, deleteing it's self as the other injured spikey waits, it's body slashed and the wound oozeing data from where the navi had hit.

"One hit from that sword near killed it... Aestus, you know what to do. Lets end this quick, okay darlin'?" The navi didn't respond to the playful nickname, charging off toward the yet untouched and uninjured spikey before it had time to launch a counterattack.

She brought the sword across the breadth of the wolf-virus' gut, then brought the unaltered end of the transformed weapon on it in quick succession. The path of the initial blow laid, she leaped to the virus' side and let a quick sweep find itself rushing toward the creature's leg. The final thrust was aimed after she pivoted and turned, gracefully stepping around her quarry to land a blow on the injured Spikey.

"Lets be sure it's done, I don't want any chance of an unexpected cheap shot. Aestus, do your thing." By reflex and sheer knowledge of Cassius' battle preference, Aestus instantly interpreted her operator's instruction and brought her naginata-sword buster up like a shield before jamming it into the ground to launch herself backward and out of the way of any of the virus' retaliation. The weapon glowed and the warrioress obediently spun it in her hands. With each rotation the weapon's glow became much more intense, soon forming a glimmering sphere in the center of the spinning weapon's shaft. All at once the sphere shattered and a flurry of energy shards rushed from the central point of the navi's staff, rushing forward to pepper her foes and the ground around them.

Aestus swung her sword at the spikey, but, it managed to dodge her strike at the last second, hitting with an audiable, "CLANG", on the ground as she then attempted to attack it twice, hitting it twice and manageing to damage it a bit as she finished off the other injured Spikey and then hit the final Spikey in the face with her shotgun.

"Quick reaction times on those things.." Cassius sighed and smirked, his virual likeness grinning at the remaining spikey.

"I sense a great warrior's spirit within you, young wolf..." His voice dropped low and held a overly dramatic overtone. His virtual projection was suddenly wearing a gi much like those of old kung-fu masters in action and martial arts movies. Upon his chin was an absurdly long and white beard that blew with his equally long and white hair in the absence of wind. He nodded to the navi who rolled her eyes and charged forward with her naginata/sword raised.

"While your reserve may be strong, the warrior spirit of my battle goddess is stronger still." His eyes narrowed and his virtual arm pointed at the spikey facing Aestus down.

"You were dead the moment you set foot on the battlefield" Aestus brought the blade down toward the spikey's head, then leapt over it to swing at its flank. She leapt off to the side and held her naginata firm, ignoring her operator's bizarre act and preparing to fend off the next attack.
