Round 2

Armoury skidded back as the sleeve of her coat smouldered slightly, having managed to get a block up to keep the viruses attack from hitting anything vital. Valis blinked as she saw the wisps of smoke coming off her navi,

"Are you alright Armoury?" Armoury straightened out her hat and eyed the viruses dangerously,

"Just a little mark on my jacket, I'll be fine....let's bring a little bit of our own fire." Valis grinned and nodded as she slotted in the next chip and Armoury brought her arm up as the bands split apart and she readied the weapon. The components of the barrel snapped together and extended before the incendiary round loaded up. Armoury kept backing up from the short range viruses as she snapped up the sight, taking carful aim as she quickly sidestepped to line the two of them up. She grinned and opened fire, with a burst of rocket flash the grenade sped towards the fire virus with the intent of unleashing explosive fury upon it.

As her right hand reformed she drew Cerberus again with her left snapping the chamber open once again as her now complete right hand pulled a growling, black chrome round from her pouch and slotted it in. She raised the weapon once again taking aim at the fire virus,

"Go get 'em boy" she said with a grin before pulling the trigger. The Cerberus head raced eagerly towards the virus, snarling and barking before opening its maw wide and trying to take a bite out of it. The chain drew taught as the head bit down then retracted again, its job done, disappearing back into the barrel of the revolver. Armoury then drew Pegasus and started to run again still making sure to keep her distance while she watched the remaining viruses closely, it was almost over, she just had to hold together a bit longer.

Actions:
1. Use Heatshot1 chip on ChampuC/SwordyB (40dmg/fire) (Snipe ability)
2. Use Greed of Cerberus on ChampuC (20dmg/ Life drain)
3. Dodge
Armoury fires her heatshot and with her superior aim, she manages to hit both remaining viruses. She then has her dog gun attack the fire enemy, consuming the virus while brining Armoury back to full power. The Swordy approaches and takes a slash but the strike doesn't manage to connect.

Armoury smirked as she sidestepped the Knights swipe and the remaining fire virus ceased to exist. She had this fight won, there was just one last loose end left to tie up, but she wouldn't be taking any chances. Her coat started to shimmer as she drew her weapons, she was ready in case the virus got in a lucky last shot. She eased the hammers back on her revolvers, turning the chambers and lining up the next round in each weapon. The navi's face was lit from below as the revolvers started to glow, adding a bit of menace to her wide, fanged grin. She had no feelings for viruses, and assumed that they in turn had none for her, they were simply mindless bits of code, unlike other navis. She felt she was doing the net a service by removing one more glitch in the program as she pulled the triggers of her weapons and the hammers snapped to, igniting the powder charges and sending the energized rounds spiralling down the rifled barrels of her revolvers.

She could see the virus light up in the muzzle flash of her weapons, the image mirrored in the knight's armour while she stood firm, she had no intention of moving unless she absolutely had to, with multiple locks on the virus she figured the battle would be over. She simply waited, waited for the instant it would take for the rounds to cover the distance between herself and her target and she would know if victory was hers.

Actions:
1. Use Bulletproof ability (1x X-hit shield)
2. Use Double Magnum on SwordyB (2x20dmg) (Snipe ability)
3. Dodge

((Armoury's max HP is 120, current hp should be 110))
Armoury loads up her Bulletproof vest as the last Swordy warps right in front of her and attacks, but the shield blocks it. Aiming her guns right in the virus' face, the fox-like navi makes a sadistic grin as she unloads her signature attack at point-blank.

Ouch.

Armoury relaxed as the last virus' data scattered, her tail gently swaying as she started to walk again. Valis smiled as she watched,

"Looks like that new move of yours is pretty useful." The navi grinned as she stowed her guns for the moment,

"Yea I'd say it's working out pretty good."


((Requesting battle 4))
Armoury's path is barred when a small group of Powies descend from the sky, landing in front of her in a scattered group. Rolling along from behind the group emerge a pair of OldStoves while two Spooky viruses simply pop into existence beside the OldStoves.

[BATTLE 4]
[FIGHT]
Armoury looked around at the viruses, she was fairly heavily outnumbered, and she'd probably have to stay on the defensive until she could take their numbers down a notch or two. As she started to move in she picked out which viruses she could hit first, spotting two of the slow old fire viruses in the mix and grinning. She kept on the move in order to keep out from under the various Powies that could drop on her at any moment, her arm splitting open as Valis loaded up her first chip. The fox navi made a sudden change in course as the shotgun sprang from her arm, snatching it from the air with her other arm as she tried to line up the Oldstoves.

The navi's coat started to shimmer as though metal were woven into it as the crack of her weapon split the air. The reflection of the shotgun blast flickered across her coat as it billowed in the air, the weapon disappearing from Armoury's hands soon afterwards. She didn't have time to linger and watch the result and kept right on running in case one of the weight shaped viruses decided to attack. She wouldn't be caught out a second time by the ghost viruses either, she was aware of how they preferred to attack, and she'd have a surprise waiting for them this time around. Valis slotted the next chip in as she could see the defensive strategy that Armoury was going for, and soon the navi's arm was splitting apart again.

Mechanical components snapped together before a projector formed on Armoury's arm, but she didn't activate it, not just yet. She watched the viruses closely as she circled and ran, if one of the ghosts tried to sneak attack her again they'd be getting intimate with an energized reflector shield.

Actions:
1. Use Shotgun chip on OldstoveA/OldstoveB (50dmg)
2. Use Bullet proof ability (1x X-hit shield)
3. Use Guard chip
((You should describe Bulletproof as a 1-hit shield. Also, due to defence layering, you can only have 1 "shield" at a time. I will let it pass this time, but please remember this for future reference.))

While the Powies flopped around in a carefree manner, one of the Oldstoves was destroyed by a quick Shotgun blast. The other OldStove was in no position to be struck by the excess shrapnel of the attack and remained safe. Meanwhile, one of the Spookys attempted to blitz Armoury with a surprise attack, only to have its own tongue reflected back into face in a wet slap.

The navi grinned as the ghost virus ended up having its sneak attack backfire, but the fight was still a long way from over. She skidded to a stop for just a moment as she eyed the remaining viruses, flicking her ears as she still saw one of the stove viruses standing. The Poundies hadn't made their move yet, and that made her a little nervous, hoping that she'd be able to avoid being crushed should they all decide to attack at once. She'd deal with that when the time came though as she reached under her coat, Pegasus glinting whiles it and Cerberus slipped from their holsters. Armoury started to sidestep while her targeting system started painting red markers on multiple targets, the reticle of her eye glowing faintly as it highlighted the Oldstove and the damaged ghost virus.

The hammers of the revolvers eased back with a heavy metallic click as Armoury raised them, trying to cut down the angle between her targets as she sidestepped to make her shot easier. The sound of the two blasts that followed echoed each other as Armoury opened fire, hopefully eliminating one virus and damaging another.

"I'm going to need a little more firepower Valis," Armoury called as she started moving in, closing the gap between herself and the Oldstove. Valis nodded as she slotted in the heatshot chip, Armoury watching the Powies closely as well as the stove virus trying to properly time her attack. As the incendiary round snapped in place she had ended up in the thick of the group circling the Oldstove waiting for one of the many Powies to land next to it. Suddenly she heard a beeping in her ear from the targeting system as her chance came, she quickly leapt left trying to catch the Powie in the shrapnel before it could jump away again. With an explosive muzzle flash from the barrel of her weapon she let fly the deadly projectile, hoping she'd have better luck with this shot than the last. She hit the ground and rolled back to her feet while the mechanical components of her arm retracted and the bands reformed, starting to back up again while she did her best to keep track of the multiple viruses, having to deal with six targets capable of teleportation.

Actions:
1. Use Double Magnum on OldstoveB/SpookyA (2x20dmg)
2. Dodge
3. Use Heatshot1 chip on OldstoveB/PowieA (40dmg/fire) (Snipe ability)

((My apologies, won't happen again))
As Armory managed to hit the Oldstove with her fist attack, the Spooky managed to disappear into thin air, the attack went wide and hit the ground as a Powie attacked, Armoury managed to dodge out of the way and sent a Heatshot attack at the Oldstove, deleted it as well as damaging the Powie with the splash.

Armoury flicked her tail a little irritably as yet another shot missed its mark, she was getting a bit overconfident and sloppy. Her next shot would find its mark, she'd make sure of it as she kept light on her feet, manoeuvring around the jumping Powies, but keeping a close watch on the damaged one. The glint of black chrome flashed from under her coat as she snapped open Cerberus' chamber delicately slipping the fanged round in.

"Hope you're hungry boy" Armoury said with a smirk, the revolver giving a deep, rumbling growl in reply as she levelled it at the targeted Powie. Armoury moved quickly to intercept the viruses' next jump while stepping around the other three, mindful of the damaged floor while her weapon was trained on it the entire time. As she got clear she was no more than a few paces from the Powie, Cerberus roared as the hammer of the revolver snapped forward. The demon dog's hunger was insatiable and the metallic hide of the weight shaped virus was looking particularly appetizing at this point. The dog opened its maw wide as it rapidly covered the short distance to its target, trying to sink its teeth in with a vicious snarl. Its purpose served the dog soon disappeared, and Armoury turned her attention back to the remaining viruses. She looked over the two ghosts in the back, she'd deal with them later, for now she'd hit the viruses that had a little more offensive power.

Valis slotted in the last of the ranged chips and the metal bands of Armoury's arm started to split apart. The components inside whirring, clicking and snapping as they formed the inner workings of an energy weapon before the barrel started to from around them, energy collecting in the back of the barrel as the cannon was completed. The confidant grin returning to Armoury's face as she was presented with three fairly easy targets, picking out the closest one as it landed from its jump. A flash of crimson showed from under her hat as the glowing ball of energy blazed through the air toward the flailing virus, the navi wouldn't miss this time....

Actions:
1. Dodge
2. Use Greed of Cerberus on PowieA (20dmg/lifedrain)
3. Use Canon chip on PowieB (40dmg/knockback) (Snipe ability)
Ceberus's fangs sunk deeply into the soft form of the unprepared Powie and sapped the virus's remaining energy. Armoury breathed deeply from minor health boost and took a careful shot at another Powie, damaging it heavily. One Powie leapt up and inflated, trying to crush the navi but its attack was slow and easily avoided. However, the Spooky's attack was much faster. It gave a big ol' lick upside Armoury's duster coat, removing the hardened bulletproof layer right off before teleporting away to a safe distance.

(I call dibs on her battle 5)
Valis was relieved as Armoury came away with no damage as the ghost virus tagged her, though the half fox navi was starting to look increasingly irritated with the sneaky Spookies. She had a different plan this time though as she eyed the two damaged viruses, painting targets on both of them. She knew she'd have trouble hitting the teleporting ghosts outright unless she found a way to get in close so she'd have to be a little more devious herself. She ducked and weaved between the Powies again to get herself into position watching the damaged weight virus and moving to intercept.

She eased back the hammers as she moved to face towards the Powie and away from the ghost virus, levelling Cerberus at the Powie while she tucked Pegasus under her left arm pointing backwards. The Navi's long coat and plush tail blocked her right arm from the view of the ghost, Armoury grinned as she could still make out the marker on the ghost in the back of her head. With Cerberus locked onto the Powie as it landed she gave a quick glance over her shoulder, the ghost only seeing the faintest glimmer of red from under the brim of the navi's hat before she opened fire. With the metal effect of her coat gone the silvery round from Pegasus punched through with ease, the ghost not even getting to see the muzzle flash to know a shot was fired in their direction.

With the hope that her sneak shot was a success, the metallic shimmer returned to her coat, the hole sealing itself up as it did. She'd have to start getting more creative if she couldn't shoot her way out of these fights, or start stepping up her speed a little bit....

Actions:
1. Dodge
2. Use Double Magnum on SpookyA/PowieB (2x20dmg) (Snipe ability)
3. Use Bulletproof ability (1-hit shield)
Armoury dashes forward, dodging a hit that a Powie was about to inflict on her with its massive weight. Grinning, the desperado took out her two favored guns and blasted one virus each with them. Said viruses died. The fox-like navi made sure to zip-up her coat, but a Spooky dashed in to undo it again with its tongue.

Taking this chance, another Powie turned into a stone weight above Armoury and crashed down on her head. Ouch.

"Armoury!" Valis cried as one of the huge weight viruses finally caught up with the navi, flattening her into the ground. As the Virus disappeared Armoury was left laying on the ground, she started getting to her feet and holding her head.

"....That didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would" said the half fox navi as she blinked.

"Are you alright?" Valis asked as she looked at her navi with concern, hoping she didn't end up with a concussion or something...not that she was even sure a navi could get a concussion.

"I'll be fine..." she replied, then paused as her hand ran through her hair, her ears twitched as she looked down to see her hat laying on the ground beside her with the crown crumpled into the belt around it. The navi picked her hat up and popped the crown back out as she growled, getting it straight on her head before giving a rather dangerous glare towards the viruses. Her hat straightened she moved in tight with the jumping Powies, Valis acting quickly as she slotted in the next battle chip. Armoury's good eye glinted as she ended up back to back with one of the Powies, turning quickly as her hand started to split apart. She tried to jam the hilt of the sword into the side of the Powie the heavy servos and power couplings snapping to as the energized blade of the weapon suddenly thrust forward from the hilt. The navi growled as she attempted to run the virus through with the weapon while it activated in a burst of bright green energy encasing the blade.

Armoury then drew her arm back as she eyed the Spooky then the other Powie, knowing both would likely be plotting their counter attack soon. She then made her move, dashing to intercept the second Powie as it jumped again, the high arc of its leap giving her plenty of time to get positioned. She had every intention of cutting that grin on its face clean in two as she drew her sword arm back lunging forward as it landed with a powerful crossing swing. The blade of her weapon cut a deadly green arc through the air the wide energy trail lingering after the strike. The fox navi's tail flicked this way and that to keep her balance through the manoeuvre, her movements sharp and precise as her body shifted with feral fluidity, starting to become more accustom to the shorter ranged weapons in her arsenal.

Actions:
1. Use Sword chip on PowieC (80dmg/slashing)
2. Dodge
3. Use Sword chip on PowieD (80dmg/slashing)
Armoury's two sword attacks cut through the last two Powies while the Spooky attempted to deliver another smackdown with its tongue. Armoury managed to backstep in time and escape the range of the attack by a hair. Her sword was still intact but the Spooky had retreated to a safer distance in the meantime.

Armoury turned towards the Spooky with a wicked grin on her lips, licking over her fangs as she eyed it as a predator might their pray. The sword on her arm retracting as her arm shifted back to normal and she simply stood in a staring match with the virus. She waited patiently as did Valis, a battle chip hovering over the slot in her PET. Armoury grinned as she watched the virus, wetting her fangs again as her tail twitched, she knew it would try to strike eventually, she needed only to be patient.

When the Spooky finally disappeared she grinned wider, more menacingly as her coat took on a metallic shine again, Valis slotting in the next chip. Once the ghost appeared the fox navi gave a vicious snarl, her arms shooting forward as huge, deadly claws extended from her hands. An azure halo surrounded them as she tried to take hold of the virus and dig her claws in deep. She stared into the hollow eyes of the ghost, there was no emotion in them, and it felt nothing as Armoury pulled her arms back, trying to simply tear it asunder with the blades on her hands. The bright blue of her claws flashed through the air as she preformed what she thought would be her final attack, feeling no remorse as always while ridding the net of the viruses that plagued it.

Actions:
1. Use Bulletproof ability (1-hit shield)
2. Use Rageclaw chip on SpookyB (40dmg/slashing)
3. Use Rageclaw chip on SpookyB (40dmg/slashing)
With an additional layer of protection, Armoury confidently strode into close quarters combat with the Spooky. She jabbed out her hand and clamped down with the sharp claws clutching down on... Nothing. The Spooky was wily, teleporting away from attack as it was being targetted. It wouldn't escape a second time as she slashed out again, shredding off its skull mask and deletng it in one hit. The viral shell fell apart in multicoloured streams to reveal battlechip data floating in the wake of the departed Spooky.

Armoury relaxed again as the last virus was deleted, rolling her shoulders a little as the claws retracted back into the mechanisms of her arms. As she resumed her normal form she looked back up at Valis,

"I think this is about where we ran into trouble last time...but I should be alright this time around." Valis nodded softly as she smiled,

"Well you seemed to get through a few tougher battles much easier than you did before, so lets see what else is out there." Armoury smirked, then turned and kept wandering through the net, her tail twitching and her ears perked as she searched for any sign of more viruses.
