Effigy analysis

A blue beam of light shoots down from the digital sky, the beam then builds up a massive figure, a gigantic bear shaped navi, the bear navi stepped forward and looked around for a moment.

"Aright Bearman, the new article didn't give any details on where the Metool image was, look around for a line of cracked panels, and watch out for any viruses along the way, any we come across will be busted immediately, so stay psyched OK?"[b][/b]

Bearman nods and set off to traverse the bright blue and green roads of ACDC net on all fours, making good speed.

((Battle #1 Ready))
As Bearman proceeds to explore the net, he suddenly hears a rhythmic tapping sound coming from behind him. The sound seems to be keeping pace with him, and eventually piques his interest. A look over his shoulder reveals he is being followed by a trio of Metools. They had their pickaxes out....

---- Battle 1, BEGIN !! ----
Bearman begins to growl at the oncoming virii

"Those viruse are pretty gutsy to chase after a big bear navi, let's show them why you don't interfere with bears!hmm...."[b][/b]

Ted shuffles through his shirt pocket for his battlechips, after decided from a handful of chips he returns all but a Rollinglog1 and a Shotgun chip back into the pocket and loads the chip data in the PET in order.

"Aright, those Metools look pretty close together, let's squish them all with rollinglog. I also want to play things safe so I'm giving you a shotgun to take out any survivors."[b][/b]

Bearman stands upright and holds his arms into the air to catch two thick logs between each arm and shoulder that materialized just above him. He swings backwards and then chucks the log in his left arm, then the log in his right arm. Both thrown at a low angle, as they reach the ground, they begin rolling strait ahead. The logs spread out from one another as they quickly roll along their path, ready to steamroll the Metool trio under the weight of pure bark. As the logs start to run their course, a buster gun takes over Bearmans right arm. He takes aim and fires at the group as the logs finish their task, aiming for whichever managed to escape the log onslaught.

It was clear that these particular Metool were a bit slow on the uptake, as they failed to even react as the logs slowly rolled their way. One was lucky enough that its intended log missed, but the other went right into a Metool face, erasing it from existence on contact. This finally drew the attention of the untargeted virus, which brought its pickaxe down to the ground, creating a shock wave that sped towards BearMan, though it missed so badly one had to wonder if it was a warning shot. As a reward for the miss, the resulting Shotgun blast made its end quick and painless. The surviving Metool looked around, to find nothing but a large, angry bear Navi looking at it, and immediately took cover beneath its helmet in self-defense.

"Well that worked well enough, I think you can handle the rest from here Bearman."[b][/b]

Ted then slots in a Rageclaw1, as the chip data reaches Bearman, his claws begin to glow with a cyan hue, sharpen up at the bottoms, and gave off a white wispy aura. Bearman charges forward at the concealed met on all fours, and as he got closer he switch to running on his hind legs with his claws reaching forward and extended, ready to grab hold and throw down his victim in order to mercilessly maul his target with his powered up claws.

Showing no mercy, BearMan proceeded to flip over the last remaining Metool and sliced him up with his claws, only leaving a handful of zenny as its remains!

"Great job Bearman! now back on our trail, we need to find that effigy"[b][/b]

Bearman stood up on his hind legs and gave his operator a soft glare before collecting the zenny data that fell off the Metool.

"..yes I'm aware we have no idea where it is, that's why we are trying to search for it. if it's as big as the news article claims then we should be able to find a path of broken panels somewhere, if we can find that then we would have found the effigy....and how much money did that metool drop?"[b][/b]

Bearman sends the zenny data to Ted's account.

"...250! we could get an upgrade with that!...it would be a process upgrade but never the less..."[b][/b]

Bearman get's back on all fours and continues on along the bright blue and green roads of ACDC, passing by several building along his long trek in search for the effigy.

"Perhaps we should save it, with a bit of work we could afford a speed enhancing program for you, that will definitely be important in the future."[b][/b]

((Battle# 2 Ready))
Trekking across the plain network landscape, BearMan soon came across yet another Metool. The virus looked somewhat displeased, judging from its eyes. Perhaps it had witnessed the prior battle, or perhaps it was just naturally angry. Regardless, upon sighting BearMan, the virus animatedly thrust its pickaxe in the Navi's direction, prompting two Powies to drop out of the air from behind some idle sky decoration. One landed near BearMan, but his stern glare was all it took to send the virus hopping back toward its friends. Now grouped together, the viruses prepared to attack.

".. this looks tricky, aright Bearman, let's take out what we can."[b][/b]

Theodor then slots in a cannon chip, causing Bermans arm to morph into a cannodumb cannon, and as if Bearman knew just what his operator was going for, he made no hesitation to aim at the met and shoot it down first.

"If we get rid of that Metool then we can focus on just those Powies, let's play defensively and let them try and smash us, we'll counter from there."[b][/b]

At that, once Bearman's arm returned to normal after being transformed into a cannon, he readies himself to evade the enemies next attacks

The poor Metool just up and exploded from the Cannon shot, with only its helmet and little pickaxe clattering to the ground as a makeshift grave to mark the effect of BearMan's brutality. Aghast at the quick murder of their friend, the Powies held back their tears... if they had tears... and each jumped at BearMan to try and crush him. The large mammal Navi proved more agile than just about anyone would expect though, and dodged both of the metallic viruses as they cracked the ground underneath their landing spots.

"Excellent Bearman, now hurry! while they are still close together!"[b][/b]

Theodore then slots in a Rollinglog1 chip. Causing two logs to materialize within his arms. Reacting quickly, he takes the two logs and swings them together against the powies while they were still within reach.

"And just in case, here's a rageclaw to finish the job."[b][/b]. Upon slotting the Rageclaw1 chip in, Bearmans claws begin to glow once more. Taking a finishing swipe at whatever still remained from the initial assault.

Taking advantage over the emotionally driven Powies, BearMan proceeded to swing his large, stiff, wooden sticks over the viruses, but due to how flexible and small the viruses were, they were able to at least dodge one attack and survive.

However, the one Powie was unfortunate and met with the navi's claw swipe, leaving only one virus. As its final stretch, the last Powie shot itself up into the sky and brought himself down on top of BearMan in the form of a gigantic weight! [-20]

Bearman staggered to get himself back up after the Impact. Teds monitor appeared beside him.

"Hang in there bearman, that last one doesn't have much fight in it left, just get in a good swipe and it's gone."[b][/b]

After finally getting himself oriented, Bearman rapidly closes in on the remaining powie at high speed, lashing out at it wildly.

"How are you doing so far Bearman?"[b][/b]

Bearman straightens himself and examines his side, bruised but seemingly alright

"...I'm fine.."[b][/b]

"Ok great! time to cont-"[b][/b]

A chip pops out from the bottom of Theodore PET, Theodore pulls it out to examine it, and confirms it as being a new chip.

"...Guard1 eh? sounds like it could come in handy, aright Bearman, this makes for a small contribution to our current arsenal, let's continue forward."[b][/b]

"...Theo, I don't think we're gonna find it anytime soon..."[b][/b]

"The only way to find it is to just keep looking."[b][/b] Theodor turns to examine the crack left behind from the battle. "hmm... on second thought this may be harder then I thought, there could be Powie cracks all around that may throw us off course, still we could probably just ask around for information on it's whereabouts. let's continue the search for a bit more before we turn in for the day, oh and break that hole too so it can recover."[b][/b]

Bearman walks over to the crack and stomps on it hard with his foot, breaking it open. afterwards he got back on all fours again and continued his trek along the ACDC network, in search of the effigy or anyone that may know about it.

((Battle #3 Ready))
[[(([b]BUMP[/b]))]]]
BearMan moved onward through the area at a leisurely pace, paying careful attention to the scenery as he did. Eventually, he came across a large area filled with rocks. The rocks weren't particularly large, but they could certainly conceal a small enough virus. BearMan continued through the rocks cautiously, stopping dead when he came across a Shrubby facing away from him and pressing against a rock. Before the Navi could do anything to take advantage of this situation, the virus nervously glanced behind itself and saw him, noisily taking off to hide behind another rock. The commotion prompted another of the viruses to peek out from a nearby rock and immediately return to cover, while two slow-moving fire viruses rolled in from the Shrubbys' side to support them.

"Fire viruses already? this is going to be a problem bearman, watch out, the rocky area is going to get in the way of our rollinglogs...huh?"[b][/b]

Theodor takes a quick glance at the Shrubby as it poked out of the rock to take a look at the massive Ursine navi, he then examines his rolling log chip to compare.

"...Those little Bush viruses are on this chip...do they throw logs too?"[b][/b]

"Maybe,..so what's the plan?"[b][/b]

"Hmm...Well first of all we are going to have to destroy those oven looking viruses before they get an attack in, your wood element so fire damage is going to be dangerous."[b][/b]

Bearman steps backwards as the old stoves approached and bumps his heel against one of the two rocks behind him. as the oldstoves closed in on him, Bearman materializes two more logs in his hands and sends them rolling at the old stoves in hopes to crush them. "Keep an eye on those bush looking creatures Bearman, we don't know if they are hostile or not yet."[b][/b]. As the logs run their course, Bearman braces himself for anything the Shrubby viruses may throw at them.
