An Attempted First Run

Xypher was shocked when the mystery egg was opened to reveal that battle-chip. A powerful one indeed.

"Merrill, this is an amazing chip! Deflects an oncoming attack, AND allows you to heal yourself as well!"

Merrill threw his hand up in victory.

"That is amazing. That's one we'll have to save for an emergency."

Xyph nodded.

"Are you still up for adventuring around the city Merrill? Your health status and everything seems to be in near perfect condition still."

Anyone who knew Xyph knew that he was inventive, and knew he had talents when it came to programs and numbers. He had custom-built his own version of a status program to monitor everything about Merrill's status: a meter that displayed data statuses about nearly anything/everything related to Merrill, one that calculated how many times Merrill had been hit, and the approximate damage that it had done to Merrill's data, and where the damage was located. He had coded sensors into Merrill's Sigil that allowed him to monitor heart rate, pulse, "Energy" [The electromagnetic ions and other very technical information"] that occurred within Merrill's body as well as the output when Merrill used one of his Signature abilities. Finally a system that double checked for any bug's that may have wormed their way into Merrill's data. All on his Father's mysterious laptop...

"Yeah, Xyph. I feel good to keep going. Besides, where there are viruses doing harm, we must stop them like Dad did."

Xyph nodded as Merrill continued his stroll through the street.

As he passed a nearby navi, he overheard her talking about the infected Viral Tower.

"-- The tower has only gotten worse. Some of the Viruses capture and eat/delete any navi that wonders by. The patrolling officers had been deleted partway up the tower, but they were unable to report the source of what was causing the programs inside to berserk and go viral... I hope that poor girl is alright inside..."

"Merrill."

"On it."

Without hesitating, Merrill turned and looked around, spotting the nearby ominous tower-like building instantly. He took off running towards the tower, jumping over a fence, and as he approached the road, he spread his wings to their full extent and beat them three times. Hard. With a jump, he catapulted himself over the length of the street, sprinting up to an alleyway that lead to the rear of the tower as the net police were sealing off the front exit. He went up towards the back-side door, and peeked inside. It was dark indeed, but he did not fear the dark. He entered and shut the door behind him quietly. He found a stairwell that marked itself B1. He drew one of his Swords, and proceeded cautiously up the stairs to the sign that said 1F. he opened the door, looking down another hallway with a pair of doors that staggered on both sides of the hallway, and a sign that lead to more stairs...

[requesting Battle 3!]

Merrill opened the door to reveal a half-dozen viruses waiting for him. Three Metools raised their pickaxes high and waved them around to the tune of an eerie song, sung by a note-shaped Melody virus, who was bouncing around. Two flaming-fisted Champu boxer viruses completed the mix. They teleported away from the main group to the outskirts of the room, flanking the doorway as Merrill stepped through to engage.
