The quest for gelato money.

The shockwave worked perfectly as it traveled quickly across the battlefield and knocked some heads together. Then, the team went into action, with the Bunnies jumping around hysterically and firing shocks, of which one hit her. (40x2Elec) Then, she eliminated the Bunnies with a good shotgun blast. The Champu warped up to her and gave her a good what-for, with one punch landing on the Guard and two others landing on her goggles. (10x2)

Things were looking pretty grim on Yuki's side, as the Champu taunted her with drawn-out, stuttered viral laughs.

Yuki gritted her teeth as the electricity coursed through her body. Not only did it hurt like hell, but 3 champu punches right after? Not a pleasant situation. Still, she managed to delete the bunnies in a bit of cross countering, but sadly it was still 5 against 1 and Yuki took a lot of damage. Her goggles took a major hit themselves as well. What's worse, the electricity coursing through her made it difficult to function for a bit. She was surrounded, weakened, and with very little time to prepare. To say the least, the situation is dire.

"Come on Yuki, we got to get you out of here. There's too many of them for you to handle." Yuki remained quiet and scanned the situation. "3 hits." Was the only thing Yuki said. "What?" "In the state I'm in, I can take three hits from them. 2 to bring me to critical, 1 to EJO. There are 5 of them. They only need a 60% accuracy rate to defeat me. If we try to run? They get us with no defenses. However, if we delete the two that were weakened, that means they need 100% accuracy to delete us right now correct? Either way, we are going to get hurt badly if we turn our backs to them."

Aoi remained quiet as they began the energy surrounding Yuki quieted down. "They need to teleport close to hit us and chances are there will be more than one at a time. Tell me when they disappear, got it? As long as we keep moving when they disappear, we can avoid their hits. And once they throw their hits, that's when we counter. Equip me with the rage claw the moment they start to attack. If we're lucky, we can delete the two weakest with a counter." "And if we aren't?" Yuki remained silent and gave a quiet smile.

Readying herself for the rush of enemies, she assumed a relaxed stance to ready herself for any sudden movements and warnings from Aoi. The rage claw ready when needed. High chance of defeat. Unknown chance of the plan to succeed. All for a sliver of possibly escaping the first chance they get. May whatever merciful cyber spirit grant them mercy.

<<Final Action?>>
1: Stunned
2: Dodge
3: Rage claw used as a counter to deal with Champu C and A(20 damage plus impact)
((The Rageclaw doesn't inflict two damages. It's when you grab and throw the viruses against each other. There is no way you can "counter" against two viruses. However, I'll just ignore this.))

Yuki was on her last string, trying to calm her self down and tried not to think about actually being deleted by the viruses. She kept her ground, not moving an inch, and few of the Champus came rushing towards her. One by one, the viruses threw their fiery punches at Yuki, and the navi tried its best trying to dodged them all, evading all but one punch to the shoulder. Just when one of the weakened champus neared the navi, Yuki struck her hands forward to grab the virus by its face. Before the caught Champu could do anything, it was thrown against the weakest one, deleting the two in a data explosion.

((Ummm, I pretty much meant it as a throw move. Throw one of the weak viruses at the other. Not hit them both at once. Sorry if I worded it wrong.))

"To the left! To the right! Gah! Recover from that last blow and throw that guy at the other! YES!" Aoi yelped as he tried to keep up with the action. It was a surprise that he wasn't over heating from all the excitement, but it was very close. While she did get hit, she also managed to delete two of the viruses giving her more than enough breathing room. Smaller numbers were easier to deal with but the percent of hits that need to get through were the same for defeat, maybe a bit higher in fact. She needed to escape or at least throw them off her trail.

"Aoi, what do we have in terms of escape strategies?" Aoi tried to figure out how to get her out of there and tried to remember what they've been doing so far. "Let's see... we still have cannon and sword chips ready when needed, but sword requires you to get close and cannon doesn't have enough power. We could freeze the field, but they can still teleport and avoid the ice. I don't think the same counter will work against them and snowman down won't work if they keep moving and it could likely hit you if we use it close." Yuki's eyes lit up at that last bit.

"Then we let it hit me." Aoi gagged a bit at what his navi just said. "W-w-WHAAAAAAAAAAT?! Did they damage your common sense too?!" Yuki smirked at the comment. "They won't stop until I'm gone? Let's give them that. When the first one attacks again, drop it right where I will be. If we time it right and move out of the way in time, we can make it look like I self destructed and escape in the confusion. At the least it deletes one of them or gives us some more time. We're running out of options at the moment."

Aoi nodded as he helped Yuki calibrate the snow data. "Alright, on my signal at the count of three." Yuki nodded as she readied herself. "One..." Yuki felt the snow data form right above her as she could feel the attack coming at any time. "Two..." Yuki could here the snowman fall as it a quick glanced shown that it seemed to look a bit like her. She had little time to act. "THREE!"

As she quickly stepped back from the impact, she quickly began to make her leave in the hopes that the virii think they defeated her. She didn't know if she managed to hit that last one, nor did she know if they've lost interest now. All she knew was that hopefully she manages to survive this in one piece.

<<ACTIOOOOOOOON GATTAI!>>
1 & 2: Dodge + Snowman Down= Self Destruction? (target(?) first Champu that tries to attack. Snowman Down does 40 aqua drop damage.)
3: Escape/Hide/Get out of combat situation!
Yuki's plan worked great, with her snowman doing its job pretty well, crushing the Champu under it with its frozen ferocity. The other Champu, came up to her and tried to smack at her, but failed as she tried to run away. Unfortunately, the two Champu had her in a two-pronged attack, resisting her attempt to escape. How was she going to survive this?!

The silence was golden as the attack seemed to went off without a hitch. As Yuki quietly waited for the two remaining champu to go away, the punch that just wiffed past her seemed to speak of it's effect. To say the least, Yuki and Aoi were twitching in unison."Oh COME ON! Do these guys ANY form of common sense?! I'd figure they would at LEAST be happy with thinking that we are dead! At least they are into their work I guess." Yuki chuckled at Aoi's colorful dialogue. It's been a while since Aoi has been this into something. 2 left, 2 hits needed. They need 100% accuracy to win in the next round of combat. That's good odds considering, but they were down to melee weapons and a wait for there to be enough snow data for another bombardment.

They needed to keep moving or escape. If she turns her back to either of them, she'd be in trouble. However, while the Champus can teleport, they have to know where to be. If the target is moving, it would be just hitting thin air. Then it hit her. Yuki quietly began to hum a song as the snow fell and the ice covered the entire area. Aoi was confused by this. "Yuki, what are you doing? Ice won't do alot against them if they teleport!" "I know. That's why I am forcing their hand." As the slightly used rage claw shifted, it began to form into the now familiar rage skates Yuki used against the Heelnavi. Aoi seemed to get the main idea there.

If the tactic before could improve speed when doing a straight dash, why not use it in a more delicate method to dodge moves? Being able to shift and slide freely would give her more flexibility with her evasion. Imputing the sword chip into Yuki's primary arm, she readied arm blade for a pass at one of her persistent pursuers. Nothing fancy, just a slash to the side and let it's data leak. That's all she needed to do. The odds were far too close for there to be any screw ups for show boating.

2 hits to win, 2 hits to lose.

<<ACTION! ON ICE!>>
1: Winter Wonderland(turn the entire field to ice. 2 TCD)
2: Sacrifice the rage claw to make rage skates to help improve DODGE!(dodge, but trying to use a chip to help)
3: Slash champu D with SWORD (80 damage plus slashing, 5 uses left)

SNOWMAN DOWN: READY NEXT TURN!
Yuki improvises a plan involving a hockey ring and rageclaws on her feet as skates. Charging forth, the wintery mistress glides through the ice, cutting down one Champu as she goes, the other warping toward her location, but performing a swing and miss due to the success of Yuki's ingenious plan.

The battle seemed to be winding down from the looks of the situation. Where there once was a large wave of dangerous enemies, it came down to a one on one battle. Yuki did her best to try to conceal her damage, but both sides at this point were likely facing battle exhaustion and moral problems. Her skating maneuver allowed her some leeway when it came to dodging and she managed to even out a rather uphill battle. Still, she could not rest. All she needed to do was deal with this final foe and she would be home free.

However, before she attacked the Champu once more, she calmly analyzed the situation. There's only one left, but it could still teleport out of the way and possibly counter. Moving constantly aided her well, but at this point she was the one who needed to get the one hit in. Right now, the Champu was the underdog. "Aoi, keep an eye on this Champu alright? We aren't out of the woods yet." Aoi nodded as he once more acted as Yuki's eyes and ears for evasion as she focused her own to take down the enemy. Aoi could ask why they went through such lengths for one Champu, but it was rather obvious. Through the entirety of this adventure Yuki managed to survive mainly on lucky breaks and overconfident enemies. Though they did win against each and every one of them, they still relied more on luck and coincidence than sheer skill or strength. They are not going to get cocky against one enemy. Not when they are this close to escape.

As she got her self into position, she readied her blade at her side as she skated towards the final foe of the day. No fancy maneuvers, no all or nothing gambles, no flashy moves. A simple eloquent slash of the blade to end before heading off to eat their prize.

<<ACTION!>>
1: Aim
2:Dodge(with the help of rage skates)
3: Sword slash Champu E(80 damage plus slashing) 4 uses left.
The Champu and Yuki were one-on-one. Now, the Champu seemed to stop fidgeting by itself on how to hit Yuki, instead, it tried to watch her, as she was doing. Looks like this is gonna be a close match. The virus stared down on the small, unseeming Navi. Steeling itself, it teleported up to Yuki and-

F-Shing!

-managed one punch before getting a swift slash to the gut, slicing it in half. The Champu laughed its stuttered laugh before dissipating into residual data...

*Ba-dump*

Yuki was moving in for the kill. The Champu seemed to have been watching her, just as she was watching it.

*Ba-dump*

The moment seemed to have slowed down as the Champu teleported right in front of her. It's fist ready as Yuki aimed her blade right at it when Aoi gave her the warning. It seemed like they were going to hit each other at the exact moment.

*BA-DUMP.*

The moment was engaging for Aoi. The Champu hit Yuki right in the goggles. Yuki stabbed it in the gut. As Yuki remained motionless for a moment, the goggles on her face shattered harmlessly as the Champu gave a chuckle before evaporating into code. With nothing supporting her blade, Yuki slumped to the ground as her skates and sword dissipated. Aoi was worried.

"Yuki? Are you alright?! Come in!" Silence came over the PET before Aoi heard a chuckle as his Navi held up the zenny data and the zap ring. "Man, that was cutting it a bit close there. I think I need new goggles." Aoi turned red from all the cliff hangers. "S-s-STUPID! Stupid, stupid, STUPID!! I ALMOST over heated because of that last bit! I could care less about the goggles, I'll program you a better pair! "

Yuki laughed at the incredibly childish behavior of her operator. For a guy who hates looking like a kid, he can fit the role well. "Alright, alright. I'm coming back. Guess I'll need to help you cool your jets after all that excitement. I hope the Gelato is worth the effort." Yuki smiled as her body turned white and shattered like ice, only to appear in Aoi's PET a moment later.
