As Saluki entered the area of ACDC, she encountered a rather large hilltop, which really didn't block her way forward, seeing as it was fairly climbable. The problem was that the top of the hill had some viruses staring down at her, and it was getting kind of nerve-wracking. A couple of Swordy peered down at her before teleporting in front of her, while two Spooky flanked her sides. A lone Powie still stood at the top of the hill, watching quietly.

If those viruses weren't hostile the pair might have enjoyed hanging out here. Saluki's fur hackles up, lips curled, ears pinned, she snarled and growled lowly now that she was surrounded. This was just great; ghosts, suits of armor and a monolithic powie atop a hill. Turing around and exposing her back or trying to backpedal where not options. It was time to grit her teeth and push through it and fight her way towards the pinnacle.
That smoky barrier formed around her once more, wisps of grayscale tendrils lashing and flowing around her to produce a semitransparent protective screen. Sullen loaded in a sword chip first because she had a good idea of how the swordies operated but the ghosts where something new; and the previous encounter with powies where too short to get any real estimate of what it might do. At least her homepage was going to have some new notes and virus behavior.
Her pink scabbard and sword belt materialized around her hips and Sally was quick to draw the hybridized rapier/cutlass. The grip, pummel and basket was decorated with her floral crest and made to give limited protection to her wrist and forearm. The long and slender dueling sword gleamed and burned of the solidified energy as she was prepared to make the first strikes. She wasn't going to wait for an attack so she was trying to make an opening. She started with a wide beat on the first virus blade before following with a heavy thrust forward thrust towards the second.

Placing a barrier around herself, Saluki obtained a sword to skirmish with the Swordy, and got to work. One of her thrusts did not pierce the intended target, and swooped off to the side. The Swordy then nearly crashed through her barrier with the force of its powerful WideSword swipe, which missed her through sheer luck. The Spooky tried to have at her as well, but only one managed to get to her, and that was repelled by her smoky barrier. The Powie then decided to get into the game, and leapt up into the air. Once it hovered over Saluki's position, it changed its composition into a gigantic 10-ton weight, and crashed down on her. Even that, however, was repelled by her barrier. It was the last that the barrier could take, though, as it diffused into nothingness. The Powie leapt off to behind the Swordy in irritation, waiting for the next move.

[Edit: I knew I forgot something ><]
The loss of her barrier wasn't discouraging because they got to see how the powie and the ghost attacked, and needless to say Sally was little perturbed by the ghost's choice of weapons. She couldn't rely on sheer luck for this encounter, so she changed her stance accordingly.
She turned to the side, feet shoulder length apart, knees bent so her center of gravity lowered and her right hand behind her to act as a balance. She flexed her legs ready to lunge, ready to hop backwards, ready to sidestep. Her left foot was pointed towards the swordie's group while her right was left Perpendicular. Now she was ready, now she was dug in; en guard!
The blade acting as an extinction of her form, the form she had been trying to perfect since she fought her first fight with a swordie. Her eyes divided the battlefield in quadrants with her weapon being the reference line. Ready for a thrust, a parry to the left, or the right. All that was left now was to wait for an oncoming attack; looking for that moment, the opening just before or just after an attack.

Saluki's swordplay skills were not up to par right about then, as she failed to repel the Spooky's attacks. The ghosts lunged at her and... gave her a licking. Which didn't really hurt much, but still sent some chills up her spine. (10) (10) The Swordy she managed to parry, however, and even follow up with a killing blow. The Powie found its cover defeated, and sought out to delete the offender. Leaping into the sky, it changed into its 10-ton iteration, and... just sort of hung there. Maybe it was trying to get a better shot?

[Sorry about the delay, I been working from opening to closing at a understaffed restaurant; and the hours are terrible :C has it really been 11 days? PS: that's a really scary avatar Fera o0]
Things weren't going quite to her plan but at least Sally had defeated her old Swordy adversaries. It was just these new viruses that where really bothering her! She just didn't want to think about those ghostly tongues anymore and it was impossible to keep her fur from standing on end; that disturbing almost violated feeling never leaving her.
The first thing she had to do was reinforce her position; that gray of smoke seemed to ooze and drip from every strand of fur and pore; before it bubbled and swirled around her in order to give her a temporary veil of protection.
Next she had to figure out how to damage those ghosts, her direct attacks didn't seem to be working to well so it was time to try out her new upgrades. She chimed her bell once; a small static white noise like fissure started to rip and expand till it became an outright fracture; and a piece of hell pulled and clawed its way out. A charred, emaciated skeleton escaped; it shoulder blades broken, twisted and spiked out at odd angles. Its skull's eye sockets where empty and it was completely missing its lower jaw but no hung out; instead dark roots hard like stone dangled out as if it had regurgitated its own entrails. There simply wasn't anything left of its lower torso, just the tapering ends of those tendrils. Judging by how long its arms where and the jagged bend in them; whatever creature it had been in a passed life was very tall. The aberration's bony hands and long clawed like finger nails where hanging like they had never been cut before; and if its attack connected the boney slash would drain the ghost and transfer the energy to Saluki. Either way with its work done it slipped right back into the grayscale fissure; which finally started to dissipate like nothing had ever happened and that nightmarish instant was finally over.
Her sword was reaching the breaking point, the once energetic blade was fading, notched and bent in several places; but she was determined to get one final use out of it. That powie had been patiently waiting to attack her again so she would allow it to do so. Confident that her barrier could take the oncoming hits; and making no effort in dodging them and just waiting for her chance make the counter attack.

[That's... fine and you can post any time you want? It's not like you're obligated to post or anything. XD Also I'm sorry, that sounds like quite a predicament you have there.]
Throwing up a smoke barrier for the Powie's strike, Saluki then made for one of the Spooky viruses with one of her new skills, which was to summon... another zombie, but this time impermanent. It reached out to one of the ghosts and struck at it, draining it of almost all of its energy and fueling it back to Saluki! It retaliated at the vixen, but was repelled by the smoke barrier she put up.
Frustrated, it retreated slightly, with its ally following suit. As they did so, the Powie finally struck, but again, the barrier held fast. It could not take any more hits, however, as it dissipated. Before the Powie could retreat, however, a Sword strike cleaved it in half. The Spooky huddled together, and seemed to be doing something... the undamaged one was licking its comrade's face! Strangely enough, the virus did not seem to be fazed, rather, it was invigorated, healed for all of the energy lost earlier.

[Just thought that I would explain any real long absences. It should be getting better soon because where hiring again [img]http://z6.ifrm.com/static/emo/7.png[/img] PS. You make Spookys really creepy lol.]
What was left of her sword was notched and fragmented so she tossed the broken hilt to the ground; soon after the pink scabbard and sword belt dematerialized as well. She would take a deep breath now that they where back to square one and she had to deal with that ghastly duo.
Maybe alittle distraction is what was needed; she rang her death knell thrice; twice. To the closest panels to one spooky's left and the others right; disfigured, gnarled and broken hands started to fight with the panels and pull themselves out of the ground. They only needed to get there torso's out or what was left of them to the surface. Stationary but ready to attack, they fired there busters on a ghostly target each. It was just a shame that Saluki could only empower one; the zombie to the left getting picked just because it was Sally/Sullen's favored choice in hands.
With the zombies baiting the specters to an attack, dodge or movement the pulsar chip was loaded in. Her left arm changing into the fat barreled stubby muzzled weapon. Aiming for the nearest zombie, it didn't really matter which one she hit because of their close proximity to each other they were bound to be caught in the same blast. The sound wave caused her gown and hair to billow and wave about in a dramatic flourish while the attack made a straight line in the zombie's direction; either he was loyal, stupid, immobile, or apathetic about if her attack connected or not.

Summoning her zombified Navis once again, Saluki baited the Spooky into attacking them while she prepared the main course; a Pulsar was thus loaded into her systems. Afterwards, the sonic wave was fired towards the catalyst of the attack, and of course things went boom. It was a happy end.

Finally all this fighting over a mound of digital dirt; and she hadn't even gotten up higher than the foot of the hill! Sally would take a quick look around the battlefield and there spoils were tallied up; they didn't have time to linger and try and climb the hill after all Sullen was tired and didn't want to risk another virus encounter.
Sally found recovery 30; she just hoped that she didn't have to lick apply it!
