Rook's new Ally

"Jack this area is getting abit odd I think the code in this part of the network might have been tampered with." Rook says as he continues to walk. The area went from normal surroundings with programs going about their daily routines to glitchy staticy surroundings with no programs visible.

"Your right I think this area might have been hacked abit. Who ever it was they werent very good at hiding it. I am finding traces all over the place. Becareful there is interference that is keeping me from being able to scan the area properly for viruses." Jack says as he is quickly typing away at his computer trying to scan the area.

"Chaos is upon us Mosou be on guard." Rook comments to his ally.


(Requesting battle 2)

As Rook and Musou continued through ACDC Net together, they noticed a Fishy virus zoom by without paying them any attention. It seemed odd, but the virus was gone before they could do anything. They decided not to worry about it, but continued in the virus's direction anyway. Eventually, they found the virus had joined up with a sizable battalion of tank viruses, and all of them looked ready to fight!

"Don't follow the fish!" Jack tries to say before the two navis encountered the rest of the viruses Jack had just picked up with his scan. It was too late though thee duo had already been spoted. "Alittle late there Jack!" Rook comments as he comes to a grinding halt. "Not to worry Rook I got a stra..." Jack begins to say but trails off. Rook had without waiting for a response begun to sprint towards the viruses. His foot work was a frenzy as every few steps he would dash either to the right or to the left in an attempt to dodge any incoming shots fired his way.

"This ones on me Jack just send me Sierra." Rook says as he continues to make his way towards the viruses. As Jack is slipping the chip into the PET he notices what Rook is doing. Rooks was ententionally taking more dashes to the right as he charged the viruses. This was placing him in a better position so that Kabutank A would be right in front of Kabutank B. Jack smiles knowing his navi has developed into quite the strategist himself.

All the while Rook's right missile pod was changing. As the chip finished downloading the pod had completely transformed into a long smooth barrel canon with a rosewood hand stock. Finally Rook slides to halt reaches a hand upto the stock to stabilize the cannon. Rooks body barely budges as the shotgun goes sending the shot towards Kabutank A. Rook then quickly pulls back on the rosewood hand stock causing an audable clicking noise. As he releases the handstock it slides back forwards. Before the hand stock had fully returned to its nuetal position the barrel hd already begun to shrink aand reshape into a missile pod.

Summary
1. Dodging
2. Moving into postion to place Kabu A in front of Kabu B
3. Fireing Shotgun chip at Kabu A

Cool Downs
Cluster Missile - Ready!
Rampart Defense - Ready!

Musou watches the fish zoom past and (after being told he isn't a cartoon, no less) drops a bit of a sweatbead.. Not used to seeing viruses just jet by. He glanced behind him to see if it was a simple repositioning menuver and if they were now surrounded but no. He shrugs and keeps on walking. He hears some objection from Rook's operator and Ken just says "He's late, he's late, late for a very important date.." with a bit of a chuckle. Musou blinks and gives a blank stare ahead, mumbling behind to Ken "I don't get the reference, Sensei." Ken says "Nevermind, just keep alert. Theres bound to be a tea party ahead." Again the navi just shakes his head and mumbles something about 'tea party'.

Sure enough he spots the numerous tanks and the fishy joining them. He raises his eyebrows and grumbles "Tea party?" Ken gives an "Uh huh. Lets try something different, pass... this.. to Rook and stay as close as you can to those things. I skimmed the 'usually found in ACDC' database last night and those things aren't terribly accurate but make up for it with area atttacks." Musou nods and says "Got'cha Sensei. I'd rather not get hit and maybe they will think twice if they are in each other's crossifre. Worst case, they shoot at me anyway and delete each other."

The navi calls out "Rook, god something for you. It's a loaner though so take care of it!" He calls out as he raises his arm and starts to form a wand in front of him, but with a twist of the wrist.. The data defragments and flies instead over to his ally, swirling and waiting to be formed and used, under the fire navi's control. Following that, he runs in a blur strait at the tanks, dodging and weaving as he finally settles into their midst, and despite this, he stays on his toes, keeping calm and monitoring their movements and feeling out for their intentions..

1 - Pass chip Meteor9 to Rook

2 - Tactical Movement to get near enough to tanks to put them in each other's crossfire

3 - Dodge Action

BUMP

Faced with a daunting force of viral tanks, Rook commenced the battle by moving to get a better position for an attack. This turned out to be a wise move, as when he followed up with a Shotgun the blast tore through two of the Kabutanks. Musou took a more passive stance for the turn, passing a battlechip to his ally before moving to a position where the enemy would have trouble firing. He had to dodge the Fishy on the way to said position, but by the time he was satisfied, the tank viruses were more occupied with getting a firing angle than actually firing. It seemed the Navi had also tread over some weak terrain, as there were now several holes in the netscape near him. None of the viruses could fire now, but they probably wouldn't stay that way for long.

Rook watches as his attack devistates two of the kabutank. He then feels the surge of energy as the data from the meteor chip finishes downloading. "Interesting chip I like I might have to get me one." Rook says as he begins to utilize the chip. Raising his hand in the air as a 1 foot by 8 foot stone pole appears in it. A small castle tower adorns the top of the staff complete with stone looking walls and wooden roof. Small slits in the the castle tower glow slightly. Rook then plants the staff into the ground. Releasing his grip the tower staff begins to shoot small flaming arrows in a high arc up into the air. As the arrows reach their peak they increase size and change into meteors which then rain down randomly. Rook then changes his stance briefly. The new stance has Rook's feet planted wide apart legs bent arms and hands extended in from of him. As he finishes the stance his crystals flash brightly. Finally as he returns to his normal stance he begins to collect energy. His crystals glowing faintly as his energy charges up. As the energy reaches level one charge the air around Rook pulses slightly giving off a low hum.

1. Use Meteor9 chip
2. Activate Rampart Defense (+counter +shot hits +30casing)
3. Charge lvl 1

Cool Down

Musou quickly looks around at the gathered Beetanks and the leftover Kautank, a michivous glimmer twinkles in his eye as he says "Ken, Rageclaw." Ken quickly slots the chip, even while he mumbles "Maybe you should mix it up Musou, Rageclaw is getting old.." The navi grins and while the chip data loads he turns to the leftover Kabutank "Watch this, Sensei!" he shouts as a burst of chi builds in one of his palms. Energy crackles up and down his body, concentrating in his palm as it builds to a peak. "Keeeeyaahh!!" he shouts as he unleashes a stunning blow at the tank, seeking to disable it.

After launching the attack, his other hand glows and changes shape, molding into foot-long wicked claws. As he withdraws the hand he launched his earlier attack with it too begins to change, but simultaneously he spins and sends a slicing strike behind him at one of the Beetanks. Finishing up, he lands in a low stance with both claws raised. He launches himself and leaps above the Kabutank. If everything went right and the tank is stunned it should eliminate the strugling and resistance he would otherwise face at this point but even if he missed earlier he will try it anyway. He is looking to spin around and sit on top of the virus, riding it with the tank's turrent bewteen his legs, which he tries to lock between said legs (is that a turrent between your legs or are you happy to see me?).

((Bump))

Rook quickly went to work by summoning a staff and placing it in front of him, summoning meteors to rain upon the enemy. Luckily enough, one hits the remaining Kabutank and another hits one of the Beetanks. The other meteor sailed into the ground with no real effect.

Musou jumped into action and attacked the remaining Kabutank... only to figure out he was way too far away from it, so he just devoted actions to moving closer and hitting a Beetank next to him with his Rageclaw. The karate navi then attempted to ride the Kabutank, only for the Fishy to crash right into him and knock him farther away.

Rook decided it was best to get on some armor to defend against some attacks as he charged his buster. A Beetank blasted a bomb at him, but he was fortunately protected by aforementioned armor.

Musou tumbles backwards and lands on the ground from the Fishy. He flips back to his feet and glares at the virus. "Keep your cool, Musou", Ken warns. The navi grins and raises his wicked Rageclaws toward said Fishy. "Yes, Sensei", Musou says simply as he leaps into action, deciding the best thing to do is take out the enemy group's 'shortstop', so to speak. He builds his chi, infusing his body with energy and sends but a small surge of it into one of the claws to enhance their power. Following this, he lays into the Fishy, swinging calculated strikes again and again, a blast of power trailing off his last, disipating harmlessly behind the virus as golden tendrils leap to the ground.

Rook doesnt even flinch as the blast from the beetank washes over him. As the blast disapates Rook can be seen standing there abit more bulked up then before. His armor has taken on granite look. The texture is no longer smooth metal but course rock. His flexibility has been reduced slightly hindering his accuracy. Rook doesnt let this phase him though as he continues his assult on the enemies this time he begins menuvering towards the injuried Beetank. As he is moving he watches the movements of both his target the beetank and the remaining kabutank. As he is circling around matching the movements of his two targets Rook says "Jack send me charlie"

Jack quickly inserts the Cornshot2 chip into his PET. He continues to be impressed by Rooks constant use of the battle field and his positioning.

Rook reaches a spot he thinks will be good for his plan. While he takes a second to receive the chip data he continue to eye his targets waiting for a good mement to increase his chance of hitting his targets. As the chip data finishes downloading one of his missile pods has finished changing. It now looks like a long green tube with green leaves coming off of it. Finding the right moment Rook Launches his attack towards the beetank the shucked corn shell flies towards its target. In flight popping noise begin to fill the air as the corn begins to pop. The result is two groups of deadly popcorn as flying towards their targets.

Summary
1. Move into a better position to better use Cornshot
2. Take aim to counter the negative from his rampart defense (forgot to mention last post of the negative accuracy for a round after it activiates)
3. Fire Cornshot2 at Beetank B and at Kabutank C

Cool Down
1. Cluster Missile - Ready!
2. Rampart Defense - TCD 0

((Gyro, remember to include damage in your summary.))

Retaliating after being knocked over, Musou concentrated briefly before charging at the Fishy and delivering a quick double strike with his RageClaw that deleted the virus almost instantly. As Rook was moving into position for his own attack, one of the Beetanks launched a bomb at him which shattered his shield but left the Navi relatively unharmed. He paid the viruses back in full, using CornShot to delete one of them. Meanwhile, the Meteor9 provided backup that smashed the weakened Kabutank and damaged one of the other Beetanks.

Seeing the fight winding down quickly, Musou focuses for a moment, feeling the flow of data and energy in the viruses, rook and himself. Attuned, he leaps into action against one of the remaining Beetanks, closing in for a strike. Unexpectied however is that instead of simply running up and trying to shread the tank he decideds to try mixing it up. He notices the weakened panel the virus is over and energy begins building in one of his fists and as he comes to the front of the tank he stomps on the ground, taking off with a leap over it. The navi sails over the virus, flipping in the air and extending his hand out downward. In all appearances it seems he aims to do a brief handstand on the tank's roof, but what he is actually aiming to do is let loose with a stunning blow as he travels. The blow will surge downward and if all goes well (assuming his stepping on the panel didn't do it already), the extra shockwave and force will not only strike the virus but also shove it down into the resulting hole. Just to help, he also adds an extra pulse of power into it, as energy travels on through and shakes through the ground briefly.

Showboating over, the navi sees to land gracefully on the other side of the space the virus occupied, coming around to his feet as he touches down.

" Let them be cleansed so that they be renewed." Rook begins to prays as he takes in the results of the fight so far. "Their data being striped from them. Their core being cleanse of corruption." Rook continues to pray as he watches Mosou go to work on the beetank. "The code is made pure by the Maker of the Code." Rook Contiues to pray as he begins to move towards the the beetank.

"Show this virus your blessing as it baths in your purifying flames." Rook finally finishes his prayer as he reaches the beetank. Rook diverts his charged power to his Cluster missiles. Jets of flames shoot out the back of his missiles pods. The gems lose their glow as the power finishes its transfer to the missile pods. Rook then launches a torrent of missiles at the beetank who is hopefully in a hole in the ground.

"Time to bring the thunder jack!" Rook shouts as he turns to the other beetank. Jack quickly inserts a cannon chip into his PET. As Rook is receiving the data his right missile pod changes. Becoming a smooth long barrel cannon with antique fuse. "Feel the thundering power of the maker virus and know fear for your end is near." Rook shouts as his cannon's thunderous roar fills the area. As the smoke clears the shell can be seen flying towards the beetank at high speeds.

Summary
1. pray and move

3. Cannon chip 50dam (Beetank C)

2. Rampart Defense - Ready!

[Lance, you forgot to state that you were targeting Beetank A for Stunning Blow. Cannon does 40 damage plus Knockback, and not 50.]

Some fancy showboating with a flip and a leap led Musou to smack the Beetank down into the cracked space, which Rook immediately filled with lava-bearing Cluster Missiles, drowning it in molten rock. The other surviving Beetank got a faceful of Cannon, nearly deleting it, but not quite. It attempted to fire its bombs at both of them, but the explosive flew overhead harmlessly. The Meteor staff summoned by Rook earlier threw down a couple of rocks at the surviving Beetank, deleting it, but also breaking the staff itself. The Beetank in the lava was ironically protected from the meteors by the fact that it was submerged in it.

The deletion of the Beetank allowed Musou to absorb its residual data, healing himself. (+15)

Musou looks down at the tank frying in front of him. He grimaces at the sight. "Don't you think thats a bit cruel Rook?" he grumbles as he waits to see if the poor thing can move or is capable of fighting anymore...

1 - [turn splice]

"To be cleanse though sometimes painful is not cruel. the corrupt live empty lives and only through cleansing can they be made whole again." Rook comments to Mosou. Rook then Leaps into the pool of lava and swims down towards the beetank. once there he attampts to grab the virus. Using the virus' cannon and leg as points of contact for his grab.

"Rook is it really nessecary to purge this virus in this maner. shouldnt you finish him off quickly incase some more show up." Jack comments to Roolk. But Rook is focused on his tank at hand and does not either hear the comment or choose to respond to it.

3. if grab hits attempt to hold him in the lava

Cool Down
1. Cluster Missile - TCD1

Being the crazy driven robot that he was, Rook dove into the lava, and held the Beetank in place with his bare hands. Naturally this was very, very disconcerting for the beetank, who could do pretty much nil as it was melted slowly by the lava. So... very... slowly. When was this going to finish?
