Fightin'

- Damn, I really had enough of this...
- Well then, I have a game for you.

A game he says. This better be interesting, since Valkyrie was on the verge of quitting this whole busting sequence, and go to some tougher area, dumping this failure of an operator for the time being. Its not like he is any help aside from sending that occasional sword chip time to time.

- You see, I bought this upgrade... but I'm seriously having doubts. So much money could've been spent on my comfort...
- Your point? I'm getting annoyed.
- Show me it was worth it! I'll install the upgrade now. Beat the next group of virii you encounter without my help and you can keep it. If you fail, I'll take this back and spend the money to sleep in a bed for a change.
- ... this is probably the most idiotic gamble I have ever heard. Yer on! Prepare to sleep under the starry sky, partner.
- We seem to have such a wonderful evening anyway.

Valkyrie could feel that someone was messing around inside her the pet that was containing her. Her vision went blurry for a moment, while heard a panging voice, as if a string snapped inside her skull. Her mouth went dry (which was something she was yet to experience; a navi programs rarely contain thirst), but aside from that,she felt alright.

-Well?
- Areyousurethisthingworked?
-Erm, one moment...

Her senses returning to normal, Val was finally able to continue slaughte....
cleaning the net of harmful viruses.

- Thats... quite some group...
- Ha! There is only eight of them.
- You sure about this? I could really use a bed with a few pillows for a change...
- You bet!
Valkyrie closed her eyes and held the lance in front of herself, as if praying to the weapon. She was focusing, gathering power to charge at the virii and take them out in one blow. When she opened her eyes, it was glowing with an eerie white light. She smiled; she didn't even have to use any of her own abilities in the last fight. This time however, its time to show just how much a lone navi can do.
- This was getting far too monotonous for my taste anyway.

She charged at the viruses letting out bone chilling warcry. Holding the lance in both hands, pulling it to the side, slightly pointing above her head, she took the last few steps. Finally, she let the energy to flow right into her arms, boosting the power of her strike higher than what most navi can ever achieve without the help of battlechips. The lance slashed through air, letting out a metallic *boink* when it reached its destination.

'No problems here' she thought. 'Lets see if he screwed this one up'. Of course, instant power comes at a price. The pain was getting more easy to endure however, as time passed. Right now, she was merely on the verge of frothing. But the sensation of getting filled with energy was also present; the price was well worth paying.

While using the sacrifice, Valkyrie didn't pause even for a split second. She was already lunging to reach another one of the tanks when the power was stable enough to be used. And so she did; the lance was aimed at the virus, as she was trying to bathe its tip in it.

((I was unsure on if the healing was at the beginning of the turn, or the end... so if it was at the beginning, let me know.))

Valkyrie's charges managed to take out two of the tanks. But when most of them began to counter attack... about out of the four shots that rang out... two of them hit.

- Annoying heap of scrap!

The shots caused her to flinch only for a moment, as her armor absorbed most of the shock. There were 6 of them, still, only 4 fired, and out of those, only 2 hit. Weak. How could that brat even think about testing her abilities with such worthless opponents? She was, however, getting warmed up. Even if it's just a minor one, this is a fight; unlike those prior, which were pretty much beatings. The fire started flickering.

She was holding the lance in a manner that suggested it was more like a giant bat than a delicate piercing weapon; and in a world where physics were only secondary, it was indeed just as good as an oversized platinum baseball bat, only more stylish. With a loud growl she gathered some strength and swung the lance in a wide horizontal arc, smashing the first thing it hit. She did a quick spin, while tapping into her core for some more power, to finish this fight as soon as possible. Spitting out some curse words on a language that probably very few human understood nowdays, she attacked again, ferociously striking at the first virii in sight.

If there was one thing she liked about these battles, it's that they are crowded.

((Bump?))
It seems like more of the Tank horde has fallen to the charging of the Norse Angel... Who gets a bomb to the face after three tried to attack her.

- At least you put up a good fight...

Another shot landed, but it didn't matter. She had wounds greater than what most can survive, covering her from head to toe, one more is almost nothing. Of course they couldn't be seen; the armor and the dark suit, her second skin was covering almost all of her body, masking the scars that were accumulated during her reckless brawls. And no one could see them anyway, as the various GMOs, the real skin of a navi, bend the shapes and colors whilst covering the user; letting others see what the creator wanted, not what there really is. But she knew they were there; and is there anyone else in this world who matters? Well maybe...

The thought that unconsciously rose from the depths of her mind instantly filled her with rage. And as soon as it came it faded; the power of wrath that filled her with strength also swept it out, as it reminded what the first instinctive ideals that made up here core were. "I am responsible for none but my self. My trust lies in none but me. The only law I abide by is mine!."

The lance skewered through air, as she jumped at one of the remaining virii. From this range, its almost impossible dodge the strike, even for skilled fighters, so for these low level virii...

- The weak perish...
- ...and the strong shall live forever.

She was trying so hard to forget that voice... and in the heat of battle, she truly could for some time. A nuisance, she told herself. Garbage. Trash. A weight holding me back. But... there was just something... Turning around, she glared the remaining viruses.

- Do you want something?
- I admit defeat. Finish this quick and lets move on.

As simple as that, he sent a sword to aid Valkyrie. An aid she wasn't asking for, but an outside help none the less. Which means that while she did defeat him, she didn't actually win. If this guy knows something, its how to insult her. She told herself that now is not the time to start yelling at him. She had to do that a lot more frequently nowdays.

But foes must not be left unslain, same as how ripe fruits must not be left to rot. And she reaped; cutting and gashing, and slicing through the virii, not stopping for a moments notice, the warrior fought with ferocious grim. It isn't fun any other way.

- I guess thats it then. Back to the shop, I need my refund.
- WHAT!?! Didn't you say I win?
- Who's talking about the speed upgrade?

And with that, Sieg simply pulled the plug, just letting enough time for Valkyrie to return to the PET.
