Nervous Breakdown

"OF COURSE I MI-...Oh dear..."

Cambiare appeared within the ACDC network with a flash of gray, with his head facing down and his hand planted deep on his face. "Finny, please...Not right now, I'm really not in the mood for this!" A screen appeared before the navi, showing Finny with her big smile on her face. "Oh hush, it's just a simple exercise. It's not going to hurt that much~"

The navi let out an audible sigh as he shook his head and began to walk forward. "A-alright Finny. If you say so." Cambiare was trembling as he tightly gripped both his hands into a fist to keep his nerve down, but he still didn't have the courage to face what was coming after him...

-BATTLE ONE, READY!-
Cambiare walked nervously through the more treacherous paths of ACDC looking around for something he could "exercise" with, as his operator mentioned.

The suited navi heard some clanking sounds to his right, which interested him so he curiously walked toward them to find...

...Metool viruses.

They too, seemed to notice Cambiare. Nodding to each other, the viruses put on serious expressions while brandishing their pickaxes dangerously as they approached Cambiare.

"Metools? Man, I was expecting something better." said Finny as she grabbed a bench to sit on. She nonchalantly waved her hand towards the two strangers sitting beside her, but they were quick to ignore it as they went on with their own business. "Pfft, fine. Like I care...Cambiare, how are you holding up?"

Looking into the PET screen, it showed Cambiare standing perfectly still in front of the three metools. "...Ehheh....kekehehekehe..." Letting out a nervous laughter to himself, even his jet-black visor couldn't hide the amount of distress he was going under. "Finny, do we really have to do this? I-I mean, I-" The operator already crossed her arms into a X while shaking her head. "...F-fine...Then please send in the Program Drive..."

Finny smiled as Cambiare reluctantly gave up on his short resistance. "Hold up. Let me just...AHA!" She pulled out two colored, circular contraptions with a metal plug sticking on the bottom from her jean pocket. Holding the red "Program Drive" while pocketing the other, she plugged it in to the top of her PET. "Program Drive, set!"

As soon as the Drive was set, Cambiare's body was surrounded a holographic, ruby red cylinder that completely blocked the navi from the outside world. "F-form change: Brio!" The cylinder disappeared as soon as the navi's words echoed out, revealing Cambiare's new appearance. Now sporting a red and orange jumpsuit compare to his dull gray and black, the navi had a much more "confident" look compare to his personality. His tiny bracelets and anklets expanded into something sizable and the stripes over his body changed into an intricate, tribal design.

"Yea! Awesome! I can never get tired of that!" exclaimed Finny, "Two chips heading your way!"

Cambiare looked down at his right hand as it morphed into a two-cylinder buster gun...But he sighed as he looked up at the metools through his ruby visor. "The change only happened in a second, and there were no flash and fireworks...How is that awesome?". Without a warning, Cambiare aimed the buster-shotgun towards the two Metools in an instant and fired a blanket of bullet straight at them. As the barrel on his buster changed into a single, large barrel, the navi dashed away so he would be able to evade any incoming attacks.

Cambiare, despite his nervous personality, proved to be just as well prepared to fight viruses as any other navis...However, as he was pointing his buster at the group of metools, he was constantly running around in circles without pulling the trigger. "F-Finny! What should I do next!"

"Alright, target that Metool you didn't attack with the shotgun!" Finny's command was immediately put in action as Cambiare immediately stopped his running and aimed his buster dead on the other Metool. "Roger!" With a pull of the (imaginary) trigger, the navi let out a deafening blast with his cannon and hoped that this would bring an end to this battle.

* Change: Brio Form
1. Shotgun [50 | Spread1] {A} @ Metool A/B
2. Dodge
3. Cannon [40 | Knockback] {A} @ Metool C
Overcome with a sudden sense of confidence, Cambiare wasted no time in taking the fight to the trio of Metool. The fired up Navi unleashed a "blanket of bullets" that rained down over one of the Metool and beyond to shred another. Both viruses vanished in an explosion of data.

The remaining Metool tried to attack, bringing its pickaxe to bare against Cambiare. The Navi dodged away with ease, the point of the axe burying itself deep into the ground. Cambiare countered with a cannon shot that sent the virus swiftly to deletion.

Cambiare slowly lowered his buster as it changed back into his arm, softly sighing to himself as he grabbed the zenny off the ground. He brought up a holo-screen that showed a live-feed to Finny and started to plead. "O-okay Finny, we finished that battle...Can we please just go back to the apartment?" Cambiare shook both his hand together as he begged his operator.

Finny poked her chin with her finger as she considered her navi's request...Which was quickly denied when she waved her finger for a "no". "C'mon, don't be such party pooper. That was just one battle! We'll stop when we do...Ten more!"

"T-t-t-te-ten?!?!...N-no! Make it two!" said Cambiare in a shocked tone.

"Eight." said Finny with a devilish smirk on her face.

"Three!!"

"Six!"

"...Fo-FOUR! YOU SAID FOUR! IT'S A DEAL!"

Cambiare was helplessly swept up at Finny's own pace, but this was something that happens all the time between the two. The navi sighed once more and began to walk into the ACDC net. "F-fine, four more times and we're calling it quits, okay?" Finny's smile grew bigger as she frantically nodded her head.

"Alright! Full speed ahead!"

-BATTLE TWO, READY!-
As Cambiare proceeded, thoughts of the number four dancing in his mind, he came upon a rather unusual sight.

A wall was stretched across the road.

Upon closer inspection (which wasn't difficult, even at a distance), he realized the wall was cobbled together from bits of junk building data. On the far left and right sides, two Canondumbs stood guard, as if they were the sentry towers on a castle wall. A strip of seawater sat in front of it like a moat.

A Swordy floated back and forth on the near side of the wall. It was patrolling. A Metool huddled under the shadow of the right-side Canondumb and pecked at the ground with its pickaxe.

One of the Canondumbs' gun-heads swiveled toward Cambiare, and the other viruses looked up. He'd been spotted. If he wanted Finny's other four battles, he was going to have to punch through here first.

--ROUND 2, FIGHT--
"Huh? What? Why would there be a wall at a place like this?!" Cambiare was completely perplexed by the wall placed in front of him, scratching his head in confusion. However, a scheme arose from inside the navi's head. "H-hey, Finny...Since we're at a dead end here, how about we call it q-quits?" Cambiare tried slip through the promise of four more battles with a lame excuse, but Finny shook her head as she pointed towards the four viruses looking dead on towards the navi. Cambiare, of course, was shocked by the "sudden" appearance of the viruses. "Oooooops! No time to chat, you gotta deal with them first!"

The poor navi felt like he was going through a nervous breakdown when the viruses were picking a fight with him. "A-a-ahh! Finny, the Tenuto form!!" In a blink of an eye, Finny swapped the red Program Drive plugged at the top of her PET with the green one from before, prompting Cambiare to change his form once more. Just like before, a holographic cylinder, this time green, completely covered the navi and disappeared in a flash to reveal the "Tenuto" form. Cambiare's hot-blooded red and orange was replaced with vibrant green and white color; the tribal design also reverted to the straight stripes and expanded out to form into paddings around the navi. However, the most notable change was his bracelet that completely changed into a wide, white gauntlet that covered almost the entirety of Cambiare's arm.

"Shield!" Holding his left arm up across his chest, a green holo-circle was formed and hovered above the gauntlet. "O-okay, that should be enough to fend them off." Cambiare began to calm himself down after he established his defense against the viruses and raised his right arm towards the two on the right. Tilting his wrist down, the gauntlet opened up as two gun barreled slid out from within, locking in place as it began to let out a humming buzz.

"Oh look at you, already planning ahead..." said Finny as she began to tease her navi. "Finny, puh-puh-puhlease! The shotgun chip!!" Cambiare began to feel a bit self-conscious as he realized that he was aiming an empty gun towards his enemies. "Alright then...There we....GO!" As soon as the chip was fed into the PET, the buzzing from the gauntlet turned its volume up. Cambiare fired the double-barreled gun without pause towards the Canodumb and the Metool on the right and retracted the gun inside.

"Run, Cambiare, run!"

The navi acted on Finny's command without thinking too much about it, not even thinking about the reason as to why he suddenly had to run. It only took him a few second after he was running around the wall that he was doing this to evade any enemy attacks. "R-right...I knew that." Not attempting to make himself look like a bigger fool, he raised his gauntlet and hoped that the shield was still intact and would deflect any attack directed at him.

* Change: Tenuto Form
* Andante [Damage Reduction 1 / Passive]
1. Shield [1-hit Shield / NCP]
2. Shotgun [50 | Spread1] {A} @ Metool / CanodumbR
3. Dodge
The Shotgun blast pegged the small target the Metool presented. The shot knocked it right over onto its helmet; its pickaxe went soaring into the air and over the wall. The shrapnel from the Shotgun didn't quite fly in the way Cambiare wanted. Instead of hitting the Canondumb, which was a bit off to the right of what had just been the Metool a second ago, the splash left the wall pocked with impact craters.

The viruses launched a return attack. The left-side Canondumb drew a bead on Cambiare and fired, but the Navi scampered out of the way. The Swordy rushed forward for a slash. It broke on the Cambiare's shield, and he managed to get away unscathed.

(Short crap post is crap)

Cambiare firmly held his arm up against the Swordy's slash, causing the holo-circle on his gauntlet to expand and completely cover his frontal area. The shield broken off when the sword clashed against it, leaving Cambiare literally inches away from the virus. "CH-CH-CHIPS!" Finny was one step ahead with her operating, already slotting two chips into the PET the moment her navi was requesting.

"Rageclaw the Swordy away and blast it with the Cannon!!"

All it needed was those short words to make Cambiare fearlessly confront the virus he was once so scared of. Cambiare's gauntlet opened to slip four claws out from within and immediately utilized it to swing his arm to grab hold of the Swordy. "You're...Too close!!" The navi swung a full circle before he threw whatever he had grasped with his claw towards the immobile Canondumb.

He raised his left arm and a single gun barrel slid out from the gauntlet this time. A white sight popped out from the top of the gauntlet as Cambiare looked through to aim the Swordy. "Know where you belong...Away from me!" With a blast of the cannon, Cambiare's arm kicked back from the recoil, almost throwing the navi off his feet. "Good job, now get your green butt away from there." As soon as the navi regained ground, both his gauntlet weapons retracted back in and the navi ran off as quickly as he could...

3. Dodge
Bump from Portland, Oregon.
Dealing a swift blow towards the Swordy, Cambiare made sure that the Swordy's distance between him and it increased significantly. After that, a Cannon greeted its face, deleting it quickly and decisively. The Canodumbs blasted Cambiare with a doubled-up attack, but he managed to evade it successfully.

After Cambiare was able to dodge the Canodumb's attack by the hair, he turned towards the virus for his own counterattack. However, upon closer inspection, he just realized that previous two attacks made on the immobile viruses was a miss. "...Cambiare, you suck."

"!!"

Both the result of his attacks and the sharp, unintended words from his operator melded into a single arrow that pierced straight into Cambiare's heart (figuratively). Either filled with regret or anger, the poor, emotionally wounded navi silently stood till he muttered a single word. "...Brio." Finny, unaware of her navi's emotional state, simply obliged Cambiare's request and swapped the Program Drive. The red cylinder enclosed Cambiare once more and died down to reveal his passionately red Brio Form...Only to clash directly against the navi's current state.

However, Cambiare quickly assumed a martial art-like stance as he stretched his rageclaw equipped arm forward. The orange rim around his emblem began to glow bright and also let out a high pitched hum that echoed through the field. "I...I don't suck! It's those viruses that suck!!" Now showing that the navi was indeed filled with anger, Cambiare dashed towards the Canodumb. The rageclaw soon began to shine and hum the same way the navi's emblem did, and when Cambiare finally took the swing across Canodumb's green face with it, it blasted out a deafening explosion of noise.

"Neeeeexxxttt!!"

It was clear that Cambiare's timid personality was completely overridden by his rage as he instantly jumped towards the next Canodumb. The Rageclaw was powered up once more and the navi was going for a stab with his claw. "Yea, go for it, Cambiare!" Still unsure as to why her navi was acting as such, Finny could only sit and watch as she was out of battlechips...

*Change: Brio Form

In a rage, Cambiare whipped out the big guns and just sliced the cannons up to pieces. Why didn't he just do that earlier? Would have been much easier on him, seriously.

Cambiare was short of breath as he leaned forward, somewhat glad that the battle was over, but still flustered at his outburst of anger. "T-Three more battles." Though he wasn't wounded from the battle, his will strength was slowly dwindling down. Cambiare already began to fear how difficult the next battle would be, but Finny on the other hand, she was enjoying it to the fullest as she cheered her navi on.

"Just three more, Cambi! Look at this shiny new chip we just got, we can do this!"

The navi couldn't help but to smile as he watched his operator's optimism, standing up straight as he continued to march through the ACDC net. "Just three more...Come on, just three more."

-BATTLE THREE, READY!-
Cambiare was in luck; he found a group of viruses that looked half-asleep! Noticing something nearby, they turned to look at what it was, oddly seeming to become more awake as they did so. Seeing the Navi enraged them, causing them to look at each other...which, strangely enough, made them yawn. Hmm...

- BATTLE THREE, READY
- THE WORLD'S MOST INNOVATIVE BATTLE
- GO
As Cambiare nervously walked further into the net, he was literally on his toes, ever so vigilant to find any signs of viruses. "Just three more battles, just three more battles, just three more..." Constantly muttering those words, Cambiare was certainly pushing himself to the limit in terms of willpower. Finny, on the other hand, was admiring the new chip she was able to obtain from last battle as she closely inspected the picture etched on the Sword chip. "Wow, Cambi. This, I think, is a really rare chip! It's a wonder how we got this after you sucked so badly in that battle." The navi pretended to ignore what Finny said, but her words felt like salts rubbing against his (emotional) wound.

When the navi was least expected it, he found himself walking aimlessly towards the group of half-asleep viruses. Though Cambiare couldn't help but to start laughing nervously, he saw that this was a god-given chance for a preemptive attack. "A-alright, we can end this one quickly." whispered Cambiare, "Quick, Finny, I need some chips." The navi changed his right arm into a buster and immediately aimed it towards the viruses. However, as another misfortune began to fall onto Cambiare, the viruses quickly turned their attention towards the navi

"Eeep!! Finny...H-how should I approach this?" said the navi as his buster began to shake from anxiety. "The Canodumbs! Take care of them before you start missing all your attacks again!!" Once again, Finny's words pierced through Cambiare's heart like an arrow as the navi sulked in the midst of battle. The clueless operator loaded the shotgun into the PET and Cambiare could feel the power coursing into his buster.

Making sure that he would not fail himself nor his operator, Cambiare carefully aimed his buster at the two Canodumbs through his red visor, only firing it after he was absolutely sure that it would be a hit. "Don't take this personally, but at least stay down this time!" The navi finally fired out a spray of metal pellets from his buster as it shot upwards from the recoil, leaving a satisfied smile on Cambiare's face. "Make a run for it! Run to fight another day!" Finny called for a small retreat and the navi happily followed it, running around in a circle so he could at least make himself harder to target...

1. Take Aim
2. Shotgun [50 | Spread1] {A} @ Canodumb A/B
3. Dodge
It was actually very hard for Canodumb to take things personally, seeing as how they were, well, sentinent cannons. They turned towards Cambiare, and began to scan him over as he fired a Shotgun their way. It was a bit to the right, though...maybe it wouldn't hit...well, it did. Kinda. The one he directly blasted disintegrated into junk data, but it was off juuuuuust enough to where the explosion missed the second one, allowing it to choose its target.

On the bright side, the missed explosion came pretty close to the Metool, which freaked them out enough to hide instead of attacking. The Beetank was harder to spook, though, and fired a bomb at the Navi...or at least, the spot where he was standing a second prior. That aim was just terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Swing and a...partial miss. Cambiare's shotgun was only able to take out one of the Canodumbs while the other one that survived, fully set on having the navi's head. "Yikes!" He could already feel his heart pumping faster as he started to run off, but the explosion tailing just behind him only made things harder for the poor navi. "I-I can't do this! This is just too much!" yelled Cambiare with teary eyes beneath his visor. "Oh, suck it up you baby!" said Finny as she was preparing more chips for the battle.

"F-fine! I'm a baby! This is just too much; just get me out of here!"

"Cry me a river!"

"I will! Now hurry!"

Finny sighed as she watched Cambiare running around like a mad man, but looking at it from the bright side, all this could possibly shake off the Canodumb's lock or even dodge the incoming shot. "Ready or not, here's comes Cannon chip!" The navi's right arm changed into a buster, but he seemed to be too preoccupied to even realize that it transformed in the first place. "I-I...I get it! I'll just have to defeat them, right?" said Cambiare as he began to run out of breath. He finally stopped and turned towards the Canodumb, instinctively raising his buster towards the virus. "Then please send me a ch..." It took a few seconds to register, but Cambiare finally noticed that his arm had already changed into a buster. "...ip...O-okay! Thank you!"

Cambiare quickly infused its own strength into the orange buster as it changed into a metallic luster, similar to his current emblem. "Fire!" The buster shot forth an orange bullet that sent Cambiare's arm flying with a larger recoil than the normal Cannon. However, the navi was quick to recover and awaited for the next command. "Time to test this baby out! Sword, slot in!" The barrel hole of the buster thinned down to a line when the chip was loaded and an orange laser blade simply popped out from it. Though Cambiare was rather surprised by the change of his weapon, he gave it a few swing to get the feel of his new weapon. "This is pretty...cool. Who am I going after?"

Finny examined the navi's surrounding, noticing that all the Metools were hiding beneath their helmets while the Beetank was proudly taking on the navi. With a devilish smirk forming from her mouth, Finny pointed her finger at the Beetank. "You can ignore the Metools for now, just go for the Beetank!" Cambiare nodded as he dashed towards the Beetank till he swung his sword for a quick, clean cut through the virus...

1. Dodge / Shake off CanodumbB's lock
2. Cannon [40+[b]10 (Buff)[/b] | Knockback] {A} @ CanodumbB
3. Sword [80 | Slash | 6 Uses] {B} @ Beetank
Cambiare excitably rolled toward the Beetank, trying to get out of the Cannondumbs sights before just blasting it with a Cannon. He moved on to swing wildly at the Beetank, the virus moving slowly to the left before being cut down.

One Metool popped up and looked around, noticing Cambiare with a sword, the virus started to sweat rapidly.

After cleaving the Beetank with his sword, Cambiare was running out breath as he quickly panted for air, not even bothering to stand up straight even if there was present danger around him. "*Huff*...*huff*...H-how did I do?" Finny began to scroll through the battlefield with her PET, flicking her finger through the screen and only found the pair of Metools still hiding. "Yeeeeep. Good job. 10 out of 10!" The navi finally calmed his breathing and cheerfully accepted Finny's compliment with a smile, swing his sword-arm as he warmed himself up for the next attack.

"Alright Cambi, lets slice the rest of them up!"

Cambiare, feeling rather powerful after he successfully took down the two viruses, happily followed the next order as he ran towards the peeping Metool. "O-of course! Watch me finish them up in a flash!" The navi began to feel a sense of achievement over this battle and he was not going to let Finny down, after all the...failures he made so far with the turret viruses.

As he approached the Metools, Cambiare kept the sword above his head, looking rather comical as he held the dangerous weapon in a silly manner. "This one's for you, Finny!" The navi swung his sword directly down through the peeking Metool, hoping to finish the virus with one swing. "Now, the nex-"

"HOLD IT!"

Cambiare froze in mid motion as if Finny jammed the pause button on him as he slowly lowered the sword he proudly raised high again. "..." Finny sighed as she shook her head in shame, preparing a chip on hand. "You're rushing things, Cambiare. Don't you see that the Metool is still hiding under its helmet??" Even though Cambiare still stood still, it was obvious that he was eying the virus under the thick visor of his. "O-o-of course...heheehhe...W-what's the plan?" The operator, with her ever-so present smile, responded by jamming the battlechip into the PET. Cambiare's left arm absorbed the chip's data as his hand began to change into a large orange claw.

"Oooohh!" said Cambiare as he examined his newly formed hand. "...What am I suppose to do wit-"

"Argh!! Just flip the Metool with the claw and cut it with the sword!" Finny frustratingly responded.

Cambiare hesitantly resumed his attack against the viruses as he lowered his claw down against the floor, leaving a trail of gashes along as he approached the Metool. He swiped his claw upwards like he was performing a boxing uppercut, but instead, he was simply using it to tip open the Metool's in-destructive helmet. "AN OPENING!!" Even if the helmet was thrown off by an inch, Cambiare threw his sword in for a precise stab and drew it back...
