Charging forth into battle once again, Lancer easily managed to both catch and manhandle one of those great beasts, slamming it into its own brother, which as it turned out seemed to cause enough damage to make the virus kick the bucket. And while the second was still swaying from the impact, a sudden slash from his mighty weapon quickly ended its suffering. Leaving the brave knight to stand tall, one on one with the final beast, and as he turned to face his adversary. It was already running off with its tail between its legs, so to speak.

"Hm... unexpected, but I can't complain," Lancer muttered as the final virus ran off before he could really turn on the thing. "And let me guess, you're worrying out there?"
"Shouldn't I be? I know you're going to press on no matter what I say, so here, at least take this," Risa spoke from her safe® spot outside, loading into the PET one of the few subchips she had on-hand. They were cheap but efficient, and he was hurt... he really couldn't complain if she forced it.
"Fine... this once," the Navi sighed, feeling the subchip take effect without regard for his willingness or otherwise. "Though it's been as I figured... I don't really need a hand here, even if anyone had happened to come along."
"Alright, alright... but it'll do you good sometime to pair up with someone, I'm sure," the Operator suggested in turn.
"Perhaps, but for now I'm fine alone," Lancer shrugged, making his way onward to see what else he'd find.

After a quick chat, and a sudden re-energizing, Lancer ventured deeper into the depths of ACDC network. Which as it turned out seemed to be hot on the heels of the escaped Spikey virus. For soon he'd see it in the distance, though its actions were quite different.
It seems the beast had stopped at a small pool of glowing, almost rainbow sheen liquid. Stepping closer it stopped long enough to take a drink from the pool, when suddenly the goo came to life and sprang around the virus! Quickly engulfing over it as the Spikey let out roar after roar and blasts of fire that quickly scorched the landscape around it as it fought desperately against the substance.
But soon, that glowing liquid finally started to sink and absorb into the beast, causing it to grow, it's already rigid fur grew thicker and almost metalic in color as the virus and unknown data fused. Easily doubling in size as those once red eyes suddenly took a bright shade of green and a longer, deeper cry of rage sounded out from the newly formed monster that stood before Lancer. Any thoughts of the situation were quickly interupted, as the beast spotted the navi, and let out a vicious battle cry before starting to charge!

Fire, and a big and apparently vicious slime-like creature...
"...this could be a bit of a problem..." Lancer muttered bitterly. It was... what was this creature that was before him? Water-element, considering the form? No, it wasn't very likely he'd be favored so greatly. Wood-element, considering the color?
No... forget the thinking, it didn't matter when it came to it. All he really had to do, ultimately, was crush this thing, and he had something good in mind to start things off. Now how would it like a little jolt...
"Going to need my two best. The elec-type and the ice-type," Lancer spoke, of which was obviously directed to the Operator standing outside in perfect safety.
"Right, right... coming right up. And be careful against this thing, it just ate a virus, I don't want it doing something like that to you," Risa warned, slipping the desired chips into their slot.
"Don't worry, you know I'm not so weak as that," Lancer replied, quite glad to see that his Storm Gauntlet was soon living up to its name with the crackling electricity that began to surround it. If this went well, maybe he could end this in a few swift moments... if not, well, at least he'd have tried. Regardless, to the end of his plan, a swift punch flew out in the direction of the bizarre virus he'd come upon; not near actually connecting itself, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't want it to after the show he'd just been audience to. Rather, it was the ring of purely charged electricity shooting out from that fist that he desired, further charged by his own element and a little further boost from within. The slime-like creature was... unusual, but the ring was sent relatively low to the ground; the Navi was certain enough that it would reach its target, and if so, it could well be over.
As to why, 'twas for the fact that he was already taking some aim as the ring of electricity flew. Replacing the crackling electricity lost to the gauntlet from the discharge was a ball of frosty ice, the cold air plainly radiating from it a testament to its power. Up to a low arc into the air it was soon flung, the target set to right where the opposing virus was as the ball crashed down, one way or another leaving parts of itself jutting into the ground below to alter even a small part of that into ice.
For his final move, it could not really be said that Lancer was truly foolish; reckless, perhaps, but not quite foolish. He knew well to avoid something like this that consumed a virus with apparent ease, and did precisely that, leaping back and away from the bizarre creature and pointedly watching out for the fiery areas on the ground that would definitely cause him some harm.

Thanks to perhaps the creature's blind charge, that zapring hit right on target and stopped the monster cold in its tracks suddenly as it let out a surprisingly painful sounding cry. Sparks could be seen passing all across that metalic looking form, at for a moment it appeared the Iceball would no doubt hit its mark. Though it seemed luck was not on Lancer's side as at the last moment the beast freed itself from the stunning charge which allowed it to step forward just out of range of that falling icy bomb which shattered upon impact and froze the panels behind the creature. It wasn't going to let the knight get away with it however as it let loose a mighty fiery blast of rage that looked ready to envelop the navi, but his speedy footwork saved him in the last moments as he managed to get away with nothing more than the feel of high heat flowing right past him.

Dangerously close, it seemed, but...
"...must be fire-type, it looks like," Lancer muttered, only needing but a short time to consider then reconsider his next course of action. He could flood part of the battlefield, but for a virus like this that would more likely be a boon than a bane.
No matter, he had other options.
"Need those last two ranged chips, besides the fire one. And that shield."
"Coming right up."
With that slight exchange, the Navi's gauntlet soon partly condensed upon itself, the now-rounded end opening to form a proper gun. Only somewhat carefully did Lancer bring his arm up to fire off a shotgun shot in the direction of the slime virus, counting on the spread to do its job and hit the thing, with a little added boost at that. Since the creature could apparently attack at some range, though... he had to be careful, at least, and to that end a mostly transparent shield emerged around him from the defensive Guard chip, which had already done its job well in an earlier conflict.
Then, finally, there was the growth of his gauntlet into more of a cannon than a mere gun. For this, he had to stick his lance partly into the ground nearby, his left hand moving instead to stabilize the arm that ended in the cannon being pointed forward. Even then there was a slight recoil from the powerful cannon shot that erupted out toward the slime-like creature; but at least, unlike the first time he'd used this chip, he could at least count on the recoil not taking too much out of his accuracy. And, with due luck, the cannon shot would assist in a little game of keep-away if it didn't manage to end this thing.
Summary
>Variable ability Buff: Add +10 to next chip

With a quick conversion Lancer kept up his tactics of keeping the pressure on with a powerful set of blasts to try and assault the beast. Though as that empowered shotgun blast struck the beast, rather than dealing any damage the metal beast seemed to almost liquefy and suddenly blew open from the impact, deforming the creature into a large hollow ring which the attack seemed to cause.
The beast was quick to reform itself back, and followed up with an attack right away, only for the exchange to be blocked by the knight's quickly summoned shield that shattered and blasted a wave back at the beast. Which seemed to deform again from the impact once more. Though as it was trying to reform and strike again, Lancer's cannon finally seemed to deal damage to it, causing it to cry out in pain and sent its second blast of fire off course, narrowly missing the navi once again.

"Hmph... persistent creature, I'll give it that. Forget that fire-type chip, I'll be taking the claw," Lancer spoke, grumbling a little to himself at the fact that the bizarre virus hadn't died yet; or rather, that he hadn't been able to finish it off yet, even with all he'd thrown at it. 'Twas persistent, he had to give it that, but there were always ways to end precisely that.
For his next trick against the beast that was apparently able to malform and avoid damage, perhaps he could throw it off-guard and avoid that, and his lance itself was perfect for that job. A quick thrust forward and odd orbs erupted from the Storm Lance's tip to rush down the slime-like virus, coming at it from multiple points (despite only being within a mild radius). A tug back on his lance drew the orbs back to it, and with due luck forced the creature a little closer. It still didn't seem like a good idea, but the Navi really have anything else that would likely be effective against this thing except his claw, which his gauntlet formed into. With a quick, short rush forward, he swiped that claw downward toward the virus, hoping to either catch it off-guard or in a way that it couldn't deform away from. Barely was that singular swipe complete before he darted back away from the creature again, making sure to keep his footing away from the fire panels.
Summary
1. Lancet to Metal-Slime Spikey (15 drain, break, pull)
2. RageClaw1 to Metal-Slime Spikey (40 damage; use 1 of 6)
3. Dodge to the side, playing keep-away with furnace panels.

Moving in with hopes of the kill, Lancer thrust his lancer forth and sent a flurry of orbs forth, which as it turned out, had the same results as most the previous attacks, as the beast seemed to splash open and completely avoid the attack. Though as it was reforming, the navi had moved in with his mighty claws, slicing down the creature before it could completely form itself back to normal. At first the strike seemed to not quite finish it, as it let out a loud roar, but quickly it seemed to start destabilizing and soon began to melt. Sinking down into a mercury like pool that seeped down into the panels and disappeared. Leaving nothing behind but a surprisingly large pile of credit data.

"Alright, well... I think that's about enough of that. It's starting to get late, and after that slime thing, I think I've about had enough," Risa announced from her continued point of safety, eliciting an exasperated sigh from Lancer.
"So you'll basically have wasted that subchip," the Navi observed somewhat coldly.
"It's fine, I still have one more and they're cheap anyway. Now come on, I have things I need to do. Like a little shopping."
"Fine... but next time, you follow my lead."
"We'll see~," Risa simply replied, while the Navi meanwhile disappeared into a little burst of light and data, returning to his PET home.
