Groove.

Soundman ran a hand through his hair, and scratched the back of his head. He stomped a single foot on the ground, and all of the scattered zenny was scooped up in a rush, gathered and downloaded into Trenn's PET.

He gave a small whistle then started off again, walking along to who-knows where.
Soundman wanders across some tanks and cubes.

DBLCUBEA: 100 HP (Blue)
DBLCUBEB: 100 HP (Red)

-READY?-
-BATTLE 3-
-ENGAGE!-
"...Interesting..." Soundman looked the viruses over with a curious eye, sizing up what he could tell they were capable of. They didn't look like much... but appearances could be deceiving.

"Trenn, could you send me some chips? Anything with enough power to take out the little tank-things." Soundman received a 'hmmm' in reply, and for a moment considered repeating himself, but a series of beeps coming in over the line, followed by various chip data unlocking themselves quickly squelched that option.

"That oughta work, don't you think?" Trenn spoke through the line, already leaning back once again. Soundman smiled, then triggered his Whine sig with a twitch.

What sounded (Quite audibly) like loud, loud static coursed down past his shoulder and into his right arm, then gathered into his hand. From what he could feel... Soundman flexed his hand for a moment, fully adjusted to the feel by now, ...the static was built up just behind his palm.

Soundman nodded and muttered a quick "Let's go, then.", and dashed off, step after step tapping down upon the ground and pushing him towards one of the three Kabutanks. He reeled his right arm back, as if he was going to punch the Kabutank- then suddenly jumped over it and thrust his arm downward, releasing a high-pitched screech, like audio feedback from a microphone down at the thing, giving him enough upward thrust to allow him to land on the other side of it.

Soundman shook his right hand for a moment, clearing it of the aftereffects of the loud attack, then lashed out with his left, producing a small gray barrel attached to the palm-speaker there. He ran at the other two Kabutanks and raised that arm, bracing it with his right so as to avoid his aim being thrown off-

-and fired, releasing a single cartridge at the pair that burst into a small cloud of shrapnel in mid-air. Shrapnel that continued the cartridge's course, hurtling through the air at breakneck speeds towards the two viruses.

Soundman continued his advance while this was going on, and red fur overtook his right forearm-- red fur that lanced out three gargantuan claws from its tip. Soundman hopped over the two Kabutanks when he reached them and sliced out with his Rageclaw in midair, then hopped back over them again when he landed, raining down a flurry of blows upon them.

He landed where he had first jumped from with a small clack from his boots hitting the ground, and then spun to see what he had managed to kill.

1: Whine @ Kabutank A (80 dmg)
2: Shotgun @ Kabutank B (50 dmg + 50 Spread to Kabutank C)
3: Rageclaw @ Kabutank B (40 dmg)
4: Rageclaw @ Kabutank C (40 dmg)

--Signature Cooldowns--

Whine: 3 TCD
Soundman decimates the first Kabutank under the pressure of sound from his signature attack. He then moves to a ranged-melee combo attack on the other viruses which successfully delete them as well. The Red DBLCUBE fires, sending a small energy beam at Soundman which made contact. The other cube just floats there, bored.

DBLCUBEA: 100 HP (Blue)
DBLCUBEB: 100 HP (Red)
KabutankA: DELETED
KabutankB: DELETED
KabutankC: DELETED

Soundman.exe: 120 HP
"Soundman," came Trenn's voice over the line, "we have trouble."

"Trouble?" Soundman's tense voice replied. "What kind of trouble?"

"The 'There's a giant war going on in the Electown Net' kind."

"...Oh." Soundman- ran. Just ran, straight in the other direction, away from the DBLCUBE viruses that remained. He skipped, and he hopped, and he did a flip or two-

And then Trenn hit the 'Jack Out' button.

((ALL actions: Jack Out))
Soundman successfully jacks out from the battle. The DBLCubes glow blue in despair.

DBLCUBEA: 100 HP (Blue)
DBLCUBEB: 100 HP (Blue)
KabutankA: DELETED
KabutankB: DELETED
KabutankC: DELETED

Terrain: 100% Normal

Soundman.exe: JACKED OUT

-ESCAPE!-
Soundman Gets... Wait, nothing. Nevermind.
There was no out-of-place jingle when Trenn hit the jack in button. No catchy tune, no mysteriously loud music.

What there was, however, was Wiz literally falling from the sky and hitting the ground hard enough to crack the panels he landed on. The small, boyish navi brushed himself off, then went floating off in a random direction, laughing.
Wiz's laughs seem to attract a group of viruses. Are they happy to see him back?

Probably not, but let's kill them anyway.

BoomerA: 60
BoomerB: 60
KabutankA: 80
KabutankB: 80
Windbox: 100

Wiz: 100

-BATTLES ROUTINES: INITIATED!-
-COMMENCING BATTLE NO.!-

-ADDITIONAL MESSAGE: GREETINGS TO NAVI UNIT: WIZ.EXE!-
Wiz didn't notice them, unfortunately. The armor-clad, floating navi simply kept spiraling through the air, twisting and turning and generally enjoying the ability to float-

-then he tried to fly. He pushed off of nothing, trying to gain ground... but found he couldn't go any farther than ~5 feet off of the ground.

"Treeeeeenn!" Wiz called out, tone upset, "Why can't I fly?"

"I- don't know, actually." Came Trenn's reply over the line. He pulled up a quick diagnostic of Wiz's specs; nothing seemed to be wrong... but yet... why couldn't Wiz fly, then? Trenn screwed up his face in thought, thinking. "I can't find any reason for it, Wiz. Are you sure you can't?"

"Yeah!" Wiz near-shouted, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "See, look." Wiz lowered himself a bit towards the ground, then shot upward only to slowly sink back down to the 'hovering at 5 feet' mark. He repeated this exercise in futility about twice before he spoke again. "Why won't it work?!" he cried, voice wobbly as if on the edge of tears.

"Look, go ahead and jack out. I'll look you over and see if I can find out what's wrong when you get back, okay?" Trenn soothed, honestly worried that this was upsetting Wiz so much.

Wiz sniffled. "Alright..." his voice sounded dejected to the point of hopelessness.

Trenn tapped a few keys on the PET, and glanced at the Escape subchip. He sighed dejectedly, and tapped the icon for it.

All actions: Escape Subchip
Wiz goes POOF.
