Validus's mind was calm, despite the amount of injuries he had sustained, but he still maintained a calm mind. The enemy was bloodied, and so was he, but if he did this right, he could still walk away victorious. He prepared his sword, maintaining eye contact with Lightman.
It was now a simple test of endurance, coupled with dexterity. He pulled his sword up and made a slash for Lightman, before retreating, keeping a comparable distance between him and the navi.
Strike, retreat, repeat.
The only question now is who'll be the one to strike the killing blow.
Summary of attacks:
1. Sword - 80 DMG - Lightman
2. Dodge
3. Dodge

Validus timed the swing of his sword as LightMan was getting closer, able to get a solid cut against his stomach and partially parry his attack. "He-hey hey! Are you resorting to some cheap melee chips rather than your gun?" said LightMan as he skringed in pain. He began his own assault as soon he was able to shrug off the wound, but none of his attacks connected again!

Without replying to the taunt, Validus immediately went for another strike with the sword as he stepped in, and sent the saber down in a slashing motion at the enemy navi. He felt his sides hurt, but fought the pain and continued the assault.
"Hang in there, Validus, just a little more and we'll get through this!" Tsujsa said as he prepared another few more chips to land the killing blow. That's right... But I still can't let mu guard down... but... head... pain...
Validus shook his head. Damnit, not now. Got to finish this quick... Tsujsa slotted in a guard chip and a shield materialized in his free arm. It was a good idea, a precautionary guard would at least save him if he wasn't quick enough.
Summary:
1. Sword - 80 dmg - Lightman
2. Guard

LightMan continued his attack from before and wildly swung his fist, able to lay a heavy blow against Validus' cheek. But at the cost of his recklessness, the sword struck LightMan's shoulder and he hesitantly retaliated to activate the shield set by Validus. However, even after getting his own attack reflected, LightMan persisted and grabbed his opponent by the shoulder to throw a powerful knee at his stomach.
"Ha...ha...ha..." His breathing was noticeably heavy as he tried to back away from Validus. He attempted to make some more smug taunts, but he was out of breath and couldn't even let out a single word...

Validus almost buckled completely as the attack caused him to vomit out. He clutched his stomach. It was extremely tempting for him to just kneel over and die, but he fought that feeling. Whatever that came his way, he knew. He would not surrender. He was close, both of them now close to deletion. Immediately, he pulled the rifle and brought it up to bear, bringing the barrel up to Lightman.
He placed another green bullet into the weapon. The viral shot. With a pull of the trigger, a syringe-like bullet was expelled from the weapon and went straight for lightman. As soon as he fired the weapon, however, his knees buckled in pain and caused the navi to fall. Using the rifle as a support, Validus took low and heavy breaths. ...Not...going...
Validus looked up as he wiped the sweat away from his brow. Not...going...to...
"Damnit, Validus! Look sharp! You're tougher than this!" Tsujsa shouted, but Validus didn't hear anything, only ringing in his head. Without realizing it, his rifle had changed into a cannon configuration that was green in colour.
He levelled his rifle once more, still remaining on the ground. NOT... GOING... TO GET DELETED...! His mind shouted as he aimed the rifle at the navi. His vision blurred slightly, but still caught the blob of the enemy. Not like the earlier shot could miss anyway, with such a distance. He smiled to himself as he pulled the trigger.
As soon as the last shot was fired, he dropped the rifle and placed a hand on the handle of the sword. He smiled to himself. Desperation may or may not protect him from getting deleted but at least if the bastard got close again he'll be able to protect himself from another blow. Or at least cut the bastard's hand off. Maybe two.
Summary of attacks:
1. Hold Shot - 30 dmg - Hold - Lightman
2. Cannon - 40 dmg - Lightman
3. Sword - Ready to counter

"Now you're...DEAD!"
Filled with confidence as he watched his enemy nearly finished, LightMan took in a big breath of air and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Validus didn't have a chance to react when the blue navi appeared a step away from him and saw his fist coming straight at him. The attack could've been the "coup de grâce" of the battle, but Validus' undershirt provided one last line of defense to save the navi from a certain end...and to give him the perfect chance!
With LightMan being so close, Validus didn't even aim through his rifle and pulled the trigger. The green syringe dug through his suit and administered the virus, paralyzing the the navi momentarily. "But...But you were suppose to be finished!" LightMan began to panic when he saw Validus still functioning and couldn't move to dodge any incoming attack. He came to his senses and knew who the victor of the battle was, lowering his head down and raising both his arms up in the sign of surrender.
"This suit IS a piece of crap..." After cooling his head down a bit, LightMan pushed his finger against his ear and began to speak. "Temporary field test is over. Lift the J.O.B. from my current coordinate.", "Field tes-*bzt*? Since when was the-*bzt*-re a test during the run? What th-*Bzzt*-are you talking about?!" LightMan let out a sigh and smacked his head against his palm in irritation. "I'll file the fucking report when I get back, alright? Just do it already!"
The barrier that covered over Validus and LightMan disappeared without a trace, leaving only the two navis alone in the quiet network. The blue navi solemnly stared at Validus and sighed once more, "Ok...here we go." He turned and stood straight up like a military man, beginning to recite a manuscript with an almost robotic tone.
"TO THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR SCI LAB FIELD TEST, WE WILL LEAVE YOU THIS GIFT FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE. WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR EXPERIENCE AND HOPE TO PARTICIPATE MORE OF OUR EXPERIMENTS. THANK YOU."
After that, LightMan simply threw a green data crystal at Validus and began to walk away. "I put something extra in there, but only if you would keep hush hush about our encounter, okay?" With a small grin on his face, LightMan jacked out from the net...

Tsujsa let out an extremely relieved sigh as he crashed back onto his chair. "That... was close." He muttered as he stared at the PET. No reply came back.
"...Validus?"
"It... was just... a test...?"
"Oi, Validus, you alright?" Tsujsa asked with a sight sense of dread. Was his Navi really okay after that battle?
"I'm...fine....just...need clear... head..."
"Right. Cripes you're in a horrible condition...Time to get you back up patched and healed."
With that said, Validus collapsed to the ground, face staring up at cyberspace. He grinned as his entire body shifted into smaller particles, before converting into a beam and jacking out.
