Finding that he was about to lose his mark, Chrosa immediately whipped himself over on top of the tracks and began to chase after the runaway beast. He managed to get close to the rear, when the teddy bear virus recovered from its brief paralysis, and immediately mounted the speeding transporter platform. It then started to throw its fuzzy claws around menacingly at the chasing octopus, but he managed to keep a safe distance as he tried to catch up.

Meanwhile, the Fishy weren't about to be left behind either, as they zoomed past Chrosa, barely missing him by mere inches. Unfortunately, their high speed meant that he couldn't quite nail them with his sticky arms. However, the Cannon that he materialized a moment later did find its mark, visibly damaging one of them. They didn't seem to give up the chase, however, as they trailed Chrosa just slightly to his sides, as he continued to run on the tracks. The cart was very close, and he could grab onto it if he was inclined to, but with the bear swinging its huge paws at him, that might incur a slight consequence.

Chrosa had continued to jump backwards towards the freight train, barely parrying from the enemy attacks. As his foes make a move to his sides, he returns to hop facing forward to board the inching train. Unfortunately his actions were impeded as a pair of bear's claws were inviting him to become an expensive yet sloppy sashimi.

"Urk, this battle is turning out to become a one-way trip to a back alley sushi stop, ho. I'd say it's time for another brain session Zed."
"I'm thinking!" Zed blurted out. He selects his two remaining chips that will be Chrosa's ticket out of this mess. One was a Shockwave, which was useless for the type of enemy and arena his Navi was situated in. The other being a RageClaw, a powerful weapon that will send its user into ravaging spree which usually makes them ignorant of their own wellbeing. Zed had no choice and quickly readies Chrosa with the chip. "Here, have this one for size!" Zed beamed with courage.


"Good one Zed, my boy." Chrosa praises and readies his weapon. As the claws are equipped unto Chrosa's hands, his humorous personality dissapears and his instinctual feelings surface. He stops chasing after the cargo and freezing abruptly, leaving himself helpless against the surrounding Fishies. As he felt the coursing wind come towards him, he surprises his nearest foe with a quick slash, a fatal one if it were to hit. He continues to haphazardly strike another foe and before they get away, takes hold of his previous target and throws it towards the slowest incoming enemy. He hadn't done it on purpose, but the Navi had imbued a glitching effect into his throw, and seeing that it he will throw towards another enemy, will infect them with the same strand of glitch effect.

Chrosa was struck with invigorating savagery as he dealt the consecutive blows. Meanwhile, the train was left to chug along the tracks as Chrosa was locked in the heat of the battle, bringing along the feral teddy.

Summary:

[Ch2] ...About Our Lord and Saviour... // RageClaw (Slashing) ((4 Uses)) > FishyC
[Ch3*] ... RageClaw!? // RageClaw (Throw) ((3 Uses)) + Ability:Hack (Glitch) > FishyC to FishyB

With Zed's brain session ending up in a rather simple solution, Chrosa carried out his operator's wishes as he hacked and clawed away at the Fishy for the moment, letting the bear virus speed off. It gave Chrosa a warm farewell, however, with a rake of its huge claws, tearing apart his protective sweater. Fortunately for Chrosa, he managed to fight off the Fishy, that were more than eager to attempt ramming him off the tracks. As he smacked away one of the Fishy, it was imbued with a data randomization effect, causing it to spawn... another Fishy? Or perhaps not. Chrosa saw the second Fishy phase in and out of view, so it could be some kind of after-image.

The corrupted dust of it's fallen ally leaves a strange after-image beside the Fishy's body. Although it being a shoddy decoy, Chrosa still wavered to deal the final blow. So, the Navi examined his enemy closely to seek out the façade. After seeing through the Fishy's trickery, he relentlessly slashed one more time to finish the job.

"OK, you can stop the acting. It's almost concerningly real," Zed voiced out, creeped by his Navi ferver.

Chrosa awoke from his instinctive killings and shook his head briefly. "Ah, but only the best acting will do, no?" Chrosa bluffed. He was almost in trance of the RageClaw. It was good timing that his Operator commented. "I think it's best if we move on." Chrosa agrees to Zed's advice. The octopus Navi sees the fading flicker and hops towards it along the traintracks once again to catch his bounty. Hopefully with a full set of chips.

[Ch1] This Rage Is A Bit Distracting! // Take Aim

Seeing through the Fishy's decoy afterimage was mostly trivial, as Chrosa clawed it down, and all the viruses disintegrated into reward data. The one he had most recently deleted transformed itself into battlechip data, which transferred itself to Zed's PET as Chrosa continued the chase. The bear virus saw his approach, and appeared to crouch on the platform, growling slightly while eyeing him with its blood red eyes. Suddenly, its growling was interrupted, as the platform took a sharp turn upwards. It appeared that the tracks were now at an extreme 80 degree incline, and Chrosa would have to climb quickly to catch up!

Chrosa was in for a difficult time as the tilted tracks made the playing field a bit complicated, especially when it will be on such a small cargo train. But as usual, the navi had a plan. His replenished arsenal allowed him to do some certain feats that he was about to do.

"Zed, how about we try out our new tools?" the octopus navi raised a brow curiously. "Well, do you know how to use the DashAttack?" The Navi shrugs, disappointingly. "You need to learn from other outlets besides your 'experience' runs like I dunno, books?" Zed was annoyed by his Navi's ambitious yet naive dogma. "Perhaps, but the description says it all and what I need to do now is a test run. Literally, ho."

The butler picked up the DashAttack and received a short explanation from Zed to make the best out of it as Zed payed attention to his chips classes. Thus, with his master's guidance, Chrosa equipped the mini-virus and recoiled his torso before zooming straight at the beast. He predicted that since the train is inclined, it will be hard for the ravenous teddy to stand upright. That however won't be a problem for the octopus Navi, reaching the train and latching immediately onto it. He made an effort to strike the bear yet simultaneously prevented from overextending to grapple train's roof.

Although Chrosa was at an advantage, he still felt the overwhelming presence of his colossal foe. The giant teddy took most of the space of the cargo. He first instinctively circled away to the front from the bear's claws to avoid any potential slashes. At that moment, both Operator and Navi's minds were synced as they thought of the same action.

"Chrosa, use this Cannon to knockback that bear off the coach!" Chrosa nodded strongly and pointed the materializing cannon towards the bear's... derrière. He pulled the trigger and the flash made the Navi recoil from the bright light. Not that he was willing to look anyway.

With the newly acquired Fishy virus equipped onto himself, Chrosa made quick work of the distance that had been between him and the runaway virus, managing to strike at its rear. Its claws were quick to respond to him, slashing away at his tentacles that were hanging onto the rapidly moving platform. (-40) Fortunately, he managed to avoid some of them, and brought out a cannon towards the bear's rear end. With such a small space, it wasn't exactly difficult to nail the virus off the platform, sending it plummeting off down the shaft. It managed to cling onto the wall with its claws, however, preventing its untimely demise. In addition, another problem presented itself, as without the heavy bear, the platform started immediately speeding up to leave the bear virus behind, but with Chrosa still on it!

Zed gasped at the dismembered tentacles but Chrosa just shrugged them off like it was nothing. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I'm in no pain thanks to that wonderful +50HP." His Operator was relieved "You gotta admit, that was pretty grizzly." Zed bantered. They both chuckled amicably at the joke.

But Chrosa had no time to continue with chit-chats. The transporter floated upwards away from his target. Without much planning he jumped off of the vehicle and was free-falling down. Fortunately, he didn't fall far from the tracks and the inclined pathway meet with the Navi's body, where he then slided against the surface.

"This is troublesome. I can't see the enemy's position," Chrosa complained. Zed though knew the right action and loaded a ZapRing and a Shotgun for the Navi. Seeing his options, the butler knew what he was getting himself into. He faced towards the walls and estimated the foe's position from the fall earlier and shot out the whizzing ring. Then, he carefully waited for the ring's reaction to its surroundings and shot a loaded slug. "Nice one Chrosa, knew you'd get it."

Summary:
[Ch1] Electric Slide! // Movement (slide down the tracks)
[Ch2] Shock &... //Zapring > Ravenous Teddy
[Ch3] ...Awe! // Shotgun > Ravenous Teddy

Laughing off the tentacles, Chrosa found himself speeding away from his mark. Not wanting to leave it behind, he performed his best skateboarder impression and leapt off the platform, sliding down it rapidly before releasing a quick double-shot of a ZapRing band and a Shotgun shell towards the bear. It leapt towards him in the middle of its attack, only to realize its mistake mid-leap, taking the brunt of the attack head-on. The force of the attacks was enough to delete it, as it let out a howl before dissipating into thin air as junk data. Now with his mission complete, he only had to decide whether he wanted to land a sick trick off of the rails, or simply fall into the deep, with the angle change in the rails approaching rapidly.

"Woohoo, we did it," Zed relaxing his tense body after the heated battle. He slouches back at the seat but was once again interrupted by someone. His main dish had finally been served, along with a appealing dessert. The waiter apologizes for the long wait Zed was too focused in Netbattling to care about his tummy.

Meanwhile, Chrosa slipped off the angled tracks at high velocities and was going to feel the brunt of the force. The Navi declares in the pitch darkness. "And here is my attempt to impress the youngsters. Rapid Ollie Retreat!" He turns into a blue blur before jacking out.
