Re-Entering the Networks

Bounty Thread

As Nikko would walk through the portal back into the ACDC Networks, she would simply begin to wonder into the ever familiar networks, hoping to reaquaint herself with...certain viruses...she could only hope they'd show up sooner rather than later.

(Battle 1, 150 HP, current bounty of the Neo-Metool)
Nikko came upon an suburban neighborhood street at noon. The sun was shining and the sky was a bright blue. There were only a few white, fluffy clouds in the sky, and the birds were singing. Houses flanked each side of a wide four-lane roadway (two lanes on each side). Unfortunately, the street was in terrible repair and was cracked all over the place. A quartet of Mets, yellow helmets shining in the sunlight, rounded the corner and came onto the street. Three of them came forward and brandished pickaxes while the fourth stayed behind them and brought forth a small cannon. Perhaps they were the reason for all the damage to the street.

A gleam of green light caught Nikko's eye several feet behind the wall of Mets. A crystal box sat on one of the cracked tiles. Maybe there was some treasure inside.

-- Battle 1 Ready? Start!! --
Walking through the old neighborhood of ACDC Net, she let out a yawn and a stretch, barely avoiding tripping over a cracked panel in the way before coming up against a wall of Metool viruses in her way...as well as a familiar green gleam from a nearby GMD behind the wall of Metools. A faint grin came across her face as the familiar virues came to greet her. My my...such a greeting by the natives. For the record. I'm going to enjoy this. Nikko would say, an ever so -slight- hint of malice (and distortion) in her voice towards the end. Timothy, however...seemed worried.

These are just regular Metools, Nikko. There's...no real danger here. Timmy said bluntly to her. Looking down at his screen, he could see Nikko's body for a split second glitch. Her navisuit replaced by her original frame, white fur covering her body from her neck to her toes, claws replacing her clearly fake press-on nails. But it was a fleeting second, as she sighed out and her body returned to normal, flames springing from her fingers. Snapping her digits, a knife made of flame shot out from beside her, "shooting" the singular blade of flames at one of the nearby mets, a simple singe would show up where it hit. So you say Timmy, but not all navis fight. I'm sure there's been plenty that have been eviscerated. She would reason back.

Even if it were as you said. She began, moving immediately from her spot as she ran towards the side, a determined look in her eyes as she would scratch at her wrist, a long scratch forming vertically, blood beginning to dribble down her arm. Dripping off the sides of her arm and over her hand, she would swing the limb upwards towards the viruses as she circled around to the side of them. Her blood, warm and sticky as it was, flung it's self off her arm in an arc and towards the one Neo-Metool, catching fire before splattering and trying to engulf the small virus within it's sphere, attempting to crush and squeeze it's data out before shooting back to Nikko a moment later to her wound, closing it shut without a trace. [sub]Mmmm that's good...[/sub]Viruses need to be deleted. We are navis, it's our job to kill them left and right. I don't care what anyone says. She finished her thought, shivering in delight at the re-absorbed blood.

After she finished her thought, Nikko could hear a click from her PET, a chip's data being sent to her at lightning speeds as Timmy sighed. Well, whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose. Lets just do what we can at least. He said in a defeated tone of voice. Even after a near-death experience, she was still the same Nikko, for better or worse. But before he could say anything else, she summoned up a small cannon in the same design of the Neo-Metool's, taking a quick bit of aim hoping to line them up and then with a small click, an explosion rocketed out of the small weapon, sending a hail of buckshot at the small viruses, enough to pierce through lines and hit two in the same shot.

Nikko rush to the flanks of the Metools while throwing a dagger of fiery blood at one of them. It struck the Metool and burned the virus. Mets B and C attacked in retaliation, Met B struck the ground and caused a shockwave to lance out towards Nikko. Nikko was struck by the wave of energy as it passed by her (-10). Met C, the one struck by the burning blood, threw its pickaxe at Nikko. Nikko got struck by the pickaxe as it sailed end over end before clattering to the ground nearby (-10).

Even though Nikko had taken damage, she flung more blood at the NeoMetool. The blood splattered over the NeoMet's helmet. A tiny hand came up to wipe it away, smearing some of the blood, before the blood grew out like eldritch slime to cover the Met from head to toe. The NeoMet screamed as its data was sucked out of its body. The slimy mess jumped off the NeoMet and returned to Nikko, transferring the data to heal the navi's wounds (+20). The NeoMetool used its buster arm to attack Nikko back, but the bullet sails wide. It was probably because the NeoMet lost a lot of blood and was woozy.

The other two Metools hid under their helmet just a moment before Nikko let off a blast with her Shotgun. The bullets plinked off their hard helmets and caused no damage to the virus inside.
