Virus Trapping

The navi's strategy worked perfectly, sending one Spikey into the other, damaging and disorienting them both. He finished off one before it could fully recover and dodged away just in time as the Champu warped in with a pair of fiery jabs. Having taken no damage, his armour was able to undo some of the damage he had sustained earlier.

Delta discarded the rageclaw and armed his buster with his left hand and quickly fired two shots each at the virii that were still active. The recoil shoved his shoulder back a few times, but he hardly noticed. Reforming his hand, the navi back stepped a bit farther away to prepare to capture the virii. His armor continued to steadily patch itself up.

The Spikey took the hit, but the Champu teleported away from the buster shot and tried to deliver a counterattack. Delta darted back just in time and the boxer's punches only managed to catch air. Meanwhile, his armour fixed up the last of the damage he took from the fight.

Delta aimed his buster at the champu again, and fired twice, launching small bolts of energy at the virus. He then sent a message to Henry, saying, [I think It's time to catch another two virii. Send me the isolation module please.]

Henry smiled and jokingly said, "Ah, but the power was with you all along. You never needed...," but he sent the module anyways.

Delta smiled slightly at his operator's joke, and armed the isolation module. As the box appeared in his hands, the navi thought, I hope this works, and pointed it at the spiky. Pulling the trigger on the handle caused the box's front to open, and created a whirlwind that would hopefully suck the weakened virus in it to be trapped. As the box closed, Delta readjusted his aim towards the Champu, and pulled the trigger again. Hopefully, the module would be able to handle trapping two virii in such a short space of time.

The Champu lost its concentration as another Buster shot grazed its faceguard. The Isolation Module did its job and scooped up two more viruses in the blink of an eye, leaving behind mostly zenny from the charred landscape. All Delta needed now was two more specimens to complete his mission.

Delta grabbed the reward data as he walked past, and sent it to his PET without looking at it. "We only have to catch two more virii, and we're done," the navi said cheerfully.

Henry answered, "Yeah, your self repair worked really well."

Delta continued to search for virii.
[Battle 4]
{3/5 virii caught}

ACDC Net, as virus ridden as it was, quickly yielded a new group of viruses made of three entirely new viruses - Swordies, Fishys and Oldstoves. How fortunate for Delta as he would be able to pick and choose the ones he wanted to catch.

The two Swordys raised their ethereal blades and began to advance on Delta's position while the Fishies strafed from side to side, seemingly looking for an opening to attack. The Oldstoves bumbled around in the rear, not really doing much... Yet.

[Battle 4 - Begin!]

Upon seeing the virii, Delta stopped in his tracks. "I've got company. All ones I haven't caught yet."

Henry looked at the scene, then asked, "Battle plans?"

Delta responded, "Send me two cannons." As Henry loaded the chips, Delta got ready to leap out of the way of an attack. As he leaped, the navi pointed his buster at one of the swordies and fired the cannon while still diving. As he hit the ground he rolled and loaded the second cannon, aiming it at the other sword virus. Pausing for a moment, Delta then fired, launching a burst of energy from the weapon.

Delta's evasive movements prevented the Fishies from getting a solid lock on him and they simply continued to weave back and forth, looking for an opening. One of the Swordies reached Delta but before he could complete its wide swing, a powerful Cannon burst knocked the virus out of range, saving the navi. The other Swordy was also struck by a Cannon, knocking it back as well. However, it only began to attack after it was knocked back and lunged out with a long piercing stab instead. The attack grazed Delta (20) while an OldStove in the back belched out a line of fire. It was too short to reach its intended target but still cracked up some of the tiles nonetheless. The other OldStove shuffled about aimlessly.

Delta winced as the sword grazed the side of his armor. Off target as the attack may have been, it put a gouge in the side of the armor. However, the repair system kicked in again, repairing most of the damage.

The navi then quickly stepped toward the swordy and swung his left hand, a sword appearing out of nowhere as he did so. He then swung the sword in a back swing aimed at the virii's neck, and sent a message to Henry saying, [Send me the isolation module,] as he leaped away from an attack.

Henry asked, "So do we want to try and get a speed upgrade next?" as he readied the module.

Delta didn't respond until the box was aimed at his target. [I guess that might be a good idea.] As the trigger was pulled, the front of box went through the now familiar process of opening up and creating a whirlwind to capture a virus.

One Swordy fell to Delta's blade as the other was sucked into the module. Meanwhile, the damage he took disappeared slowly (+15). However, the time he was taking focussing on the Sword viruses allowed the Fishys an opportunity to strike. One dove straight at him, with him narrowly avoiding being hit. The other was more lucky, delivering a glancing blow to his left arm and shoulder, knocking Delta off balance (15). The Oldstoves in the back continued to bumble around but opened their rusty grates to bellow out twin lines of fire, with only one of the attacks really aimed at him (15). As the flames retracted back into the viruses, Delta noticed he was practically surrounded by cracked terrain. The Fishys doubled back in front of the OldStoves as they prepared for another run.

Delta reflexively dropped backwards and rolled after the oldstove's flames had scorched him. As he stood up, he sent a message to Henry, saying, [Send me a zapring and a shotgun.] As he finished standing up, his armor began to repair some of the damage it has sustained.

As Henry loaded the chips, he asked, "So after we finish up here, what do you want to do?"

Delta shrugged as he loaded the zapring and aimed at one of the fish, "Dunno," he said. The navi then fired, launching a ring of electricity at the virus. Not waiting a second, the navi quickly loaded the shotgun chip to his buster, and swept his left arm over to aim at the oldstoves. He quickly fired off at shot at the virus, the recoil barely noticeable.

The Oldstoves continued to scorch and crack the landscape with their fiery attacks, forcing Delta to dodge one, but run into the other (15). His armour struggled to keep up repairs with the damage he was taking (+15) while one of the Fishys rushed him again. He stopped it in its tracks with a Zapring and deleted one of the OldStoves with a Shotgun but failed to notice the ground was crumbling beneath him as he walked around. The floor gave way but he managed to cling onto the edge of the pit for dear life. The edge started to fracture and he soon realized that the OldStoves had effectively trapped him in a sea of damaged panels. Even if he managed to get out, it wouldn't be long before the new panels beneath him broke as well.

Henry quickly activated the last cannon chip in his folder in the folder, and said, "Delta, get off the cracked panels, then deal with the stunned fish."

Delta nodded, then hauled himself up onto solid (well...mostly solid) ground. As the navi stood up, he started sprinting forward in an attempt to get onto a panel that wasn't cracked.

As he stopped, Delta turned around and pointed his fist at the fish. Forming his buster and loading the battlechip, he then fired, launching a burst of energy at his target. His armor continued to seal up the cracks in it from the last assault.

Hauling himself out of the pit, the ground beneath him began to crumble as well. It was a race against time as he sprinted across the fractured terrain to the only safe spot he could find: Behind the Oldstove. As he charged forward, the fire virus spewed a long line of flame in his path. Delta continued through it (15), trusting his recovery programs would fix his injuries after he was on safe ground (+15). Panels shattered under each step until he was only a stone's throw away from salvation. He leapt, landing safely on solid ground. He quickly found the footing to fire a charged Cannon at the weakened Fishy, deleting it instantly.

"So far, so good. Send me a minibomb, I'm going to scrap the potbelly."
"Chip sent. Whenever you're ready."

Delta hefted the black sphere that had appeared in his hand. Drawing his arm back, he lobbed the explosive hard in the direction of the stove. Even as the bomb was in flight, the navi jumped out of the way of an attack, making sure to stay on solid ground. His armor continued to work at repairing the damage it had sustained.

As his armor worked to finish its repairs, Delta sent a message to Henry, saying, Alright, just send me a rageclaw and I'll finish up here. As the chip loaded, he charged towards the single remaining virus, leaping to avoid and attack from it.

The navi's left hand grew three claws as he jumped, and as he landed he brought the weapon around in a rightwards arc, the slightly downward slash digging chunks of data out of the ground.

Bringing his arm back to the left and close to his body, Delta aimed the points of the claw he now held at his target. Delta then thrust his arm forward in an attempt to impale the virus on the points of his claw.
