Rook's new Ally

Rook rubs his chin as he takes in the offer. [color=blue]"A trade of data... Sure sounds fair. Just a few things to work out before we head to the warhouse. First do you have any data on the number of viruses we might face once were inside. You see I like to know as much as i can before we assault the warhouse. and Second how will we contact you after we have secured the package for you." Rook has a very relax but calculating look about him as he begins running statistics of possible out comes of what could be in the warhouse.

(Sorry for the delayed response. Completely my fault life has just been hectic. We will except the mission to assult the warhouse for the data)
(Bump)
((Bump, please? ))
"Ain't gonna be much worse than what you normally find around here," 'Mr. Freezie Pop' said. "Maybe a few tougher ones here and there. Nothing you couldn't handle though, being 'able fighters' and all. Anyway, doesn't seem like I'm needed here anymore, so I'm out." The ice wielder vaulted over the wall marking off the roof of the building and disappeared over the edge.

"You don't contact us. I am aware of most things that occur in this area. I will find you when you are done. Good luck." Stargazer's body disappeared into the field of lights surrounding her. The mystery data-like object disappeared, while another light expanded, taking the shape of the very building they were standing on, then following a trail from the building to an old warehouse-like building, outlining the path to their target. Then, the lights faded and went out, taking Stargazer with them.
Musou scratched the back of his head as events transpired and the odd pair left. Ken copied and saved the lightshow, assuming it to be a map. "Got it Musou", he said. The navi nodded then looked to Rook, he shrugged and said "Well, lets get going. Feels like we've been standing around here forever."

The navi then headed to the side of the building, in the direction they were to be heading, and hopped off the roof, to land nimbly on his feet seconds later. He woudl wait a moment for Rook but otherwise just wanted to get going and get this over with.
Rook watches the light show and looks like he is about to say something as Ken responds after recording the show. Since it was taken care of Rook changes his mind on speaking and begin to look around the rooftop and off the side. " Its probably a spacial lag spike" Rook comments about it taking for ever. " No doubt its due to Jack poor internet connection. Even the wireless connect is slow around his building. Rook continues to grumble about the crappy connection as he finds the correct direction to set out on. " Well Musou it should get interesting from here on out. Lets stay close and try not to get split up like on the first floor. Rook then waves Musou over as if he intends on jumping over the edge to begin their journey to the warehouse in question.

(taking the liberties here of pushing us both along)

The pair head along to the direction pointed out. Demanded, requested, suggested? He had mixed emotions on the whole thing of doing someon else's bidding, especially since they may very well be breaking and entering or stealing to get this data, not to mention what defenders might legally be there. He shook his head and pressed on to the warehouse with Rook. Ken wanted it done and Jack needed his data. Hopefully two 'rights' would make up for whatever 'wrongs' needed to be done.
The warehouse in question was just as old and run-down as had been implied. The building, though it had once held a look that one might have described as 'futuristic', was now broken and rusted on the outside, with several steel panels falling off the sides and exposing the broken hydraulic workings of a building designed to reconfigure its own shape. Streams of liquefied junk data poured out of several of the holes, pooling on the net floor outside. As they drew closer, they could see a small flock of airborne viruses fly out one of the holes, carrying broken machinery out with them. Fortunately for them, none of it looked like the data package Stargazer had shown them. Minutes later, a similar group of viruses flew in through another hole.

The entrance was left wide open, with the framework of energy-barred doors partially torn off and dissolving into bugfrags in places on either side. A pathway of metal tiles led to it from where Rook and Musou were, but before they could get too close, three of the tiles slid open.

Out of them rose a trio of mounted gun turrets, contrasting the appearance of the warehouse by not looking old or rusted at all. At the controls of each were a single metool virus. As one of the mets spotted the two navis, all three turrets swiveled to face them.

The navi took in his surroundings, as he was fairly pragmatic he found them to be disturbing and dangerous. Ken couldn't help but find the area somewhat fascinating but at the same time was trying to keep an eye open for his navi. When the panels opened and the turrents raised, Ken shouted "Musou!" but was cut off by the navi as he took a fighting stance and said "On it."

THe martial arts navi quickly observed the enemies.. Cannons mounted by metools.. Considering how many metools they stomped on their way to get here this was a bit ironic. He knew his partner was still injured from the last fight so he took it upon himself to lead. Taking a moment to move into a better position, hoping to line them up, he prepared.

Wasting no further time, he began to charge energy within his body, feeling the chi rise as it began to overflow from him. Ken slid in a chip, which was quickly becoming the navi's favorite. As the data flooded his mind and body a pair of green wings sprouted from his back and he began a sprint. Taking wing after only a couple steps, he let the stored energy go and golden electricity began to surge from him as he briefly became a charged golden spear to his enemies. Reappearing on the other side of the viruses, he regained his form and shed the excess energy, golden tendrils of it trailing off all through his flown path and going into the ground at his feet.

Rook watches Musou act and quickly sees what he is trying to do. Still alittle injured Rook decides to be alittle more defensive then his last few battles. Rook also wanting to line up the Gunnertool begins to move into a good position. "Jack send me Gamma alpha" Rook says as he is running.

Jack quickkly responds by slotting in a guard1 chip.

As the data uploads to Rook his left arm guard Grows in size until it is a full length body shield."Putride spawn of chaos you day is done. The maker of the code has seen it fit for you to be deleted this day. You should feelhonored to be deleted by a servant of the code" Rook taunts as he stops inally having arrived on the spot he selected. Rook the raises his shield ensuring that it is between him and the gunnertools

As it turned out, the gunnertools were both more intelligent and more capable than the average metool. As Musou moved to line up two of them, the nearest of those two swiveled its turret to track his movements. Waiting for him to start gathering energy for a charge attack, its turret lowered into the ground and was covered by a large dome shield. Musou turned into a golden spear and charged, but his DashAttack simply bounced off the shield, causing him to rematerialize off to the side of where he intended, at the edge of the metal path.

The hiding gunnertool remained under its dome shield as the attack subsided, while the other swiveled its gun to face Musou. It let off a short burst at him, peppering him with a small amount of gunfire while several more shots went wide, hitting everywhere around him except where he was actually standing.

The third gunner, meanwhile, took Rook's bait despite making no indication of even understanding what he was saying, firing a shot at the ground that continued along the path in front of it as a shockwave. It struck Rook's shield and bounced back, lightly damaging the turret-mounted virus.

The navi bounces off, appearing to the side and seeming to wound only his pride. That was a cool attack darn it.. And he had gotten used to "dashattack for the win". Well he is modeled after a teenager after all. Kamehame-fail indeed. He growls "Fine. How about this!", as Ken slides in a battlechip and data fills the navi's mind. Musou's fingers extend into wicked foot-long claws as he takes a battle stance against this gunner with it's lowered shield. Despire his rage, he tries to calm himself for at least as long as it takes to tap into the flow of data around him and feel his foes, his ally, everything.

Lashing out as an experiment, the navi sends a surge of golden chi through his body, rising within him as a swirling light and converting into a savage electricity as it comes to his palm. Opening his left hand he thrusts forward and hurls a charged palm strike at the gunner. Hoping for the best following this, he lashes out with a claw thrust, powered by a trailing amount of golden chi that would, normally anyway, fly through and past his foe like a storm to settle in the ground behind them.

"Wow these guys are tough seems they are abit tougher then the last few" Rook comments as he quickly devises a new strategy. [color=blue]" All right jack send me a Zeda Ring" Rook say as he launches himself into motion once again. This time Rook runs in a wide arc around the three Gunnertools watching their actions as he moves. As he runs he thrusts his right arm out. Electricity crackle off his hand. The sparks slowly begin to arc off his hand until they begin to touch each other forming a large electric chacram. Once the Zap ring finishes forming Rook waits for his Opening. As he watches their Movement he awaits for the first sign that it is going to attack so that he can launch his zap ring at the target.

Summary
1. Making himself a moving target in an attmpt to make himself harder to hit.
2. Loads Zap Ring - ZapRing1 Damage: 40 + Stun 1 Accuracy: A Element: Elec
3. Launch zap ring at the first gunnertool to fire an attack

((For the future, please always specify which targets you're attacking in your summary unless there is only one target. I'm having to guess here.))

The damaged gunnertool decided that it was its turn to hide under a shield. Meanwhile, the one that had previously been hiding popped out of its shield, just in time to take a one-two attack from Musou.

Rook followed up the stunning combo with his own electrified attack, launching a zapring at it. The damaged gunnertool hangs limp in its hole in the metal pathway, shooting wildly and completely missing both navis. Nonetheless, it still somehow manages to remain intact.

The remaining gunnertool takes its shots at both navis as well, lightly damaging each of them.

The martial arts navi bristles his clawed hands for a moment before taking a stance and swiping at the Gunnertool that he and Rook literally lit up the last round, hoping it's double-stunned condition makes for an easy target. Not wanting to loose his momentum, Musou quickly looks over his remaining opponents.. The one he might have been able to finish quickly is shielding it'self and the other one doesn't look scratched.

Ken pipes up "Musou, when they lower to use their shield it covers them completely. I doubt they can see you then! Use it for cover and build up another attack!"

The navi grins, he was thinking along the lines of using the Gunner's for cover but ambushing the shielded one sounds even better. Quickly he sprints down the metal panels and leaps behind the gunner with it's domed shield. As Ken slides in a chip and data fills his mind, one of his clawed hands returns to normal and his fingers spread as golden energy forms in his hand, becoming a ring of electricity as he pauses and simply waits for the virus to open up. Metal panel, shock time.

1 - Rageclaw (40+Slashing) @ GunnertoolA.

2 - Tactical movement to get behind (at least behind where it was facing a moment ago) GunnertoolC.

3 - Readying ZapRing1 (40+Stun1, Elec) for GunnertoolC, but since it's shield is up, doing a turn splice, hoping it opens.. If it doesn't then pass.

Rook barely manages to dodges the Gunnertools wild attacks after throwing his Zap ring. Sparks continue to leap from Rooks body from the damage he recieved from precious fights. "These guys are definitly hard nuts to crack." Rook comments as he sees Musou launch his followup attack. Figuring the Musou shouldnt have problems finishing off Gunnertool A Rook turns his attention towards the none shielded Gunnertool B. Taking a deep breath Rook Launches himself towards it. Running hard with his head down Rook makes few attempts to dodge. His main focus is to keep the gunnertool distracted so that it doesnt shield itself. "Give me a Double Charlie JAck!" Rook says as he completely run past the gunner tool.

Jack quick slots in two Cannon chip easily deducing what Rooks plan is.

As Rook recieves the data both his missile pods quickly change. The Pods quick morphs into a long cilynder barrel. As the barrel completely forms the tone changes from a sharp grey to a more dull grey. and with a pop sound a fuse appears at the rounded backside of the now old school cannon. Having completed the data transfer Rook stops and pivets back towards Gunnertool b. Quickly checking to see its status before launching his attacks.

Summary

1. Dashing past the gunnertool b taking possible enemy fire in hopes of keeping the gunnertool out of its shield
2. (if gunner tool b isnt shielded) Cannon X2 Damage: 40 + Knockback Accuracy: A (if shielded) Pass
3. See 2 (double cannon)

Musou finished off the heavily damaged gunnertool without much difficulty, absorbing a small amount of data to patch himself up in the process. The other damaged gunnertool popped out of its shield as Musou tried to get around it, firing a wide spread of machinegun rounds that hit nothing...all but two shots as it finished swiveling that hit Musou right before the gun turret was locked up by a ZapRing. Electrical pulses then continued into the hole the gunnertool was mounted in, then fed back into the turret, causing it to explode after a few seconds.

Rook, meanwhile, dashed past the remaining turret, drawing fire as predicted. When he turned around and fired a cannon at it, however, the force of the blast ripped the turret from its base, sending it and its metool pilot flying off of the metal path. Rook's second shot hit nothing but air, but the damage was done. The turret had been rendered completely useless.

The metool however, not one to take defeat lying down, ripped off the remaining working parts of its gun turret and scurried inside the abandoned warehouse.

Musou breathes slow and deep as he tries to calm himself. "You alright, Musou?", Ken asks. The navi shakes his head and says with an annoyed tone "It's nothing. We have to get that data." He notices the remains from the turrent and shuffles through them for a moment.. "Found some cash and chip data, Ken.. Funny, that stuff is usually just laying around", the navi comments. He could have rushed after the metool but no point being hasty, considering he and Rook are injured.

Ken pops in the blank chip and copys over the data as he considers the situation.. "Those cannons were a nasty surprise but whatever lies inside knows your coming now", he says. Musuo nods and stretches his shoulders a bit as he looks around at all the corrupted data and torn landscape. "You ready, big guy?", the navi asks as he hops up and down lightly on the balls of his feet, a little impatient.

Ken slides out the chip and looks down at it.. "Guard, huh? Something you'll never do, right Musuo?" he says with a chuckle. The navi smirks and glances over his shoulder, into the small viewscreen that appeared as Ken began talking. "You know me Sensei, only when they least expect it", he counters.

"Right, right.. Just stay sharp", Ken says and his navi nods.
