Scouting - The Forgotten Path

((Okay, and Empress's maximum HP is 160))

"Well, that's a disappointment..." Keera had muttered as she stared towards the screen as it seemed like they barely made an impact. "Looks like all that firepower barely accomplished anything." She had commented staring towards the field once again. The Twisty viruses seemed like they were not yet mobile, so they didn't have any major problems on their hands so far as she watched Empress swing her weapon around constantly keeping up a ready defense.

"Well, if it counts for anything, their forces are weak. We know what we're dealing with now." Empress had commented as her glare had sat on the field of enemies before them. She started to analyze each and everyone of them while her eyes returned to their natural color showing that the effects of her technique and worn and expired.

"Well, since your defenses are high, we won't have to focus solely on that this time around. All to do now is focus mainly on your attacking and we should have this one taken care of quickly. So, let's use those wood chips we savored." Keera had said as she scrolled through the options window on her PET and started to initiate the transfer of the data from her Memory.dat folder.

"Affirmative!" With that chant, Empress had kicked off as she had raised her right hand watching as an electric current coursed through her arm and finally formed a ball of energy. She was baffled by the sudden loading of a Thunder chip, but took a second look towards her enemies noticing the Ratty virus and saw what Keera was getting at. "I see...this chip would be good for an enemy that likes to move around a lot!"

She had quickly reeled her arm back and then given a roll of the electric call as it closed in on the Ratty. Sure the attack was simple, but if it would miss, the Ratty would still have some worry on it's hands. It seemed that Keera was thinking a step ahead as well as believing that Empress would catch on so far. Maybe she was starting to understand the teamwork thing and seeing eye to eye, or that's what Empress would like to believe.

As she had readied her next attack, she had let her eyes wander to pick a target. If she had her information right, then the Twisty viruses would be a threat seeing that those antennas and the unreachable reactant above to those signals didn't seem like a good sign. Fetching within her folder, she had quickly taken out a Corn Shot battlechip as a stalk had grew onto her palm and she aimed the green sprout towards the viruses. With her targets insight, she let the stalk peel and fire two small yellow cobs towards the Twisty and the EX form intending to cause some damage with the exploding corn.

"Careful, those magnets look like they can be trouble." Keera had warned as she had started to load some more wood chips. Empress had taken heed to the warning, even though she had shown any acknowledgement to do so. She only kept her distance as she had materialized a Ringlog in front of her as it hit the ground. She had lifted her leg as her dress bulged, and soon from under the dark fabric peeked the heel and toe of her boot as it laid across the log. She had kicked off quickly as the log was sent into a quick tumble towards the Magtect viruses. Soon after that, another materialized, and Empress had only quickly lowered herself to the ground and gave a sweep over her right foot in front of her before pushing herself back up to stand.

The wave of logs were sent on their way, but she had kept up her defense as she kept her scythe and it's flexible whip extension in hand to deflect any counter attacks. While doing so, she had also started to concentrate her disruptive energy as she focused it's pull towards the Twisty virus that she had ignored her previous actions, until now as she aimed to drain away it's energy.

As Empress scooped up the data and rushed ahead running, she had clinched the bits of Zenny data and chip data until it dissipated and transfer to Keera's PET where she had scanned the bits adding it to her over all account, as well as adding the chip data to her folder ready for use as she stared towards the screen watching Empress hurry.

"Madam. You never mentioned why is it of course that you wanted me to continue running. Was there something you noticed?" Keera had paused in silence hearing Empress's question, but she only pretended to be busy as she stared towards the lab's scene rushing past. She could remember something like this: Empress and her connection of their sights and her running past such a scene, but Keera was running as well. What were they running from?

"It's complicated. I'll explain later..." Keera had insisted as she had simply let her know that for now. "Be on guard, we've come quite deeply into these corridors. Something might be near." she had warned as Empress nodded and quickly bound leaps forward as she had acted as if her body was light as a feather.

{Battle 5! Let's do it to it!}
((Boss concept and first post, curtesy of Lunarlion, due to the fact that I have no ideas. Edited a bit for grammer.))

As the area laid bare from where the viruses once stood, now deleted, a strange blankness filled it. Nothing, it was a pity...it was like a blank canvas ready to be painted...and that's what someone thought already.

"Met met" Came a sudden humm as a strange little met entered the area. It skipped around happily as it carried behind it a bag. It was a peculiar peice of work, its helmet reshaped and a bit more curved with a peice sticking out on top, taking the image of a barret. It had an interesting mustache that covered its face that seemd to bounce happily as it talked. It bounded in and pushed the navi warrior out of the way as it looked around...it was searching for something, something it needed....."MET!" It suddenly cried as it spotted a bare area and hopped over. Quickly opening the bag, it revealed a easle already folded up along with paints. It's pickaxe finally appeared before it soon after, yet it was different. Where they used to be a sharp shining pick now stuck white bristles that curled at the end...the met's pickaxe was a brush now. This met wasn't a regular met at all! It was an artist met!

"Met met met..." It mumbled as it took proportions with the brush, then with a quick moment, jumped back to the easle with canvas already placed. Gently, it made soft and fast brushstrokes upon the white surface. Making the scenery of all the are had to offer. Blue's, red's yellow's, everything captivated by its work...yet something else was added. Three strange viruses were placed on teh picture, yet there weren't any around. The met probably needed some more life to the picture to make it more interesting.

"MET!" He cried happily as he gazed at his work teary eyed. A masterpiece to call his own. Now he just had to sign it. He took a few steps to his bag and pulled out a dark pen that seemed to radiate with some strange aura. Pressing it against the canvas, he spelled the word out ART MET yet the ink that stained there had a strange texture and evil feeling to it, almost as if the pen was alive. The Art Met gave happy squeals as it danced around its picture. It captivated beauty, yet not all thought that...

Three strange viruses appeared in teh area, looking oddly familiar to the viruses the Art Met painted. They stalked towards the painting that the Art Met was so proud of and gave a look of disgust. They quickly turned to the art met and went for an attack.

"MET MET!!!" It cired out as it hid behind the only navi around.

Battle 5 Start
As the Artistic Met virus had scurried behind Empress, she had tossed her head frantically seeing it was looking for security behind her. Her eyes perked up as she had lifted her head after seeing it's form behind her and the viruses now realizing that official that this Met's enemies were now seeming to be her enemies since it seemed like she was defending him, and at the best the picture had made them made enough.

"What a nuisance!" Keera had said leaning back in her seat since they were once again delayed over a rather foolish moment caused by utter confusion. She had stared towards the viruses as they seemed ready to launch the Yo-Yo weapons any moment. Empress was still quite bothered and confused by just what happened. She had folded her arms as she slightly bent her back seeming at best confused by the situation.

"Umm...are they hostile because of the picture?" She had asked curiously since the fact that a virus can react to something so trivial was a surprise. "Well, they do have a sense of something I guess. Maybe the picture was so ugly it was an insult." Keera had only contemplated on possibilities as Empress had stared in confusion still going left to right as she saw the variant family of Yo-Yo toting viruses.

"They're that sensitive to have their feelings hurt by a picture? Maybe that Met's bursh or whatever it did has something to do with the reason why those viruses are here now." Empress had said staring towards the painting as it seemed so ominous, not to mention that these viruses presences were too coincidental.

Keera sat in her chair as she reached with her right hand running her thumb across her chin as she had thought about Empress's inference. She had stared towards the vidscreen so concentrated that she narrowed her eyes as if she was seeing something clearly. After a moment however, she had shrugged her shoulders as she had relaxed. "No...I definitely think their hostility has something to do with how ugly that picture is. It's too happy..."

Empress frowned hearing her NetOp.

"No time to waste on the admiring art show. Just get rid of these viruses." Keera had commanded, and Empress had obeyed as she had lifted her right hand letting it swivel about. Once again her eyes had given a majestic blue glow to them as they had slowly opened after a hypnotizing and enticing bat that was to die for. She had soon glimmered wonderfully across her body as her recovery skill had activated as well as a boost of power, but still, that didn't mean that she would need the recovery part seeing she wanted the strength for her assault. As she lifted her right hand, she had quickly formed her MachineGun once more and had taken careful aim at the family of Yort viruses. Once locked, she had let out an even spray of ammunition towards them intending to damage them in a wave a bullet rounds.

Changing up her weaponry, she had taken her hands apart as the barrels of the MachineGun unit had disappeared. She had reeled back her right hand as in it's place had appeared an electric bomb that was coursing with energy. As she added on her power burst to the crackling energy, she had amplified it's strength and then had given it a toss as she had aimed for the center of the virus family expecting the three to take on some damage. She had looked towards the corner of her eyes as she had intended to turn and deal her last optional blow to the Met that was taking cover behind her.

"Don't attack the Met. It's just some bystander as far as I see..." Keera had guided Empress's attention away as the navi had set her sights on the area where she had heavily attacked the Yort virus family. "Take care of any remnants of those Yort viruses." Keera had commanded as Empress had prepared to dodge in case that there was a surprise attack to follow up from the virus units that might've feinted their deletion. She had let her body pull away energy from the remnants of the viruses, if any where left still alive after her heavy assault.

The machinegun rips through the enemies, deleting the common Yort. However, the other two manage to dart around enough to avoid a third of the hits sent their way. The magbomb hits the two remaining ones, deleting the EX and keeping the Yurt stunned. The met, though, continues hiding behind Empress, dispite the fact that the last virus doesnt pose much threat at the moment.

((Sorry! Tried to post this before the vacation began, but I just got in, so I'll post it and go beddy bye for now.))

"You know to do from here Empress..." Keera had uttered seeing the remaining virus. The Netnavi had spread her legs taking on a strong position as she held her ground while standing in front of the Met. If her NetOp wouldn't known better, she would say that she actually cares about the fate of the small virus. Keera had smirked a bit interesting in her NetNavi's behavior, and kept the match in a second concern like it was so predictable that the remaining virus wouldn't be much of a threat. With the glowing cascading values in her eyes, she had prepared another set of chips for Empress to use.

"I guess I can trap it with two homing chips, and then when that's all said and done, I can take care of it with a final blow." As Empress had feel the data course through her and could see the images of the loaded battlechips, she had quickly crossed her arms in a ready position as she stared towards the virus. Her dress had blew ominously as it coveted the face of the Met that was behind her. Lifting her heel slight, she prepared to charge in, or so it would seem.

"Go!" she had chanted as she bent her back and materialized a ball of thunder at will. Her right arm grasping the electric orb as she had stared towards the distant enemy, she had quickly given it a toss across the ground as it traveled towards the virus, and with her other arm she had quickly given a toss aiming the Ratton1 unit as it also had homed in on the single virus while Empress of course had readied her final chip lifting the classical cannon as a last choice with her right hand.

"Fire at will!" At that last command, Empress had fired off the cannon. She had lowered the barrel as it was simmering with the smoke after it's ignition. She had braced her legs preparing for a dodge glaring towards the remaining virus. While her glare seemed icy cold filled with intimidation, it was actually her focus on her target as her wavering energy had aimed to absorb from her target. As she let out the blast, the distorted energy she built up had suck away at the virus.

The yurt gets trapped into the two homing chips, amaking the cannon unnecessary, giving Empress the opportunity to just hold onto it for now. As the last enemy is finished off, the Art Met hops around happily, then runs back over to its canvas and begins painting again. Once the work is completes, he signs it with his pen and then looks over at Empress, nodding to her and cheeping, "Met met!" It seems her reward for this battle will be the painting. Unfortunately, before she has a chance to try claiming it, three ovalish viruses show up. Each look at the met and buzz angrily, showering out some sparks. The met squeaks in panic and again ducks behind Empress.

"More?" Keera had gestured as she had a disappointed look on her face. It seems again that the Met's picture had attracted the wrong kind of attention. Resisting the urge to curse, she had long given a stare towards the viruses seeing that they had suddenly appeared oddly after the next piece of so art was done. Empress folded her arms narrowing her eyes suspiciously. Maybe the drawings were just too ugly?

Digressing back from Keera's humorous perspective of the situation, Empress had started to lift the cannon that was on arm. "Hold on! Let's make this shot count..." Keera had noted seeing the virus line up. After first Empress was a bit confused since an aim with a cannon was very good, but at the same time, a blast to miss is target wasn't very likely, and it wasn't something to cry about. Staring towards the enemy line up, Empress had smirked noticing their element as well as the cascading values coming across her own eyes as more battlechip data was processed.

"There's more than one way to use a cannon after all." with that, a single Ringlog had materialized as Empress had quickly taken her right foot as usual, mounting her heel on it's surface and then kicking off except this time she had lowered her body down as she kneeled down after launching the log towards her foes. She had smiled as another log had materialized in front of her, but instead of kicking off the log, she placed the rim of the toted cannon on her arm as it had sat evenly across the surface. In an instant, she had let off the cannon's blast as it had been instead used to propel the log with greater speed and force to lower the chance of dodging it for the viruses since it followed soon after the first log and would suddenly come from behind it like a surprise attack.

"Hmm, that was kind of creative." Empress had commented as she had stared towards the log after giving it a blast of the cannon's strength. "Was it one of your plans all along?" she had asked with a smirk watching as the projectile log had flew towards the Elecball units as intended. "It's not very customary to keep trying the usual stunts." Keera had simply noted.

"Be on guard..." Empress nodded her head because of that warning. Reaching for her scythe since she was still in her Royal Reaper.GMO. Spinning around as she had shown her face near the blade in an intimidating manner, she had smiled as she twirled around knowing her enemies would be too distracted by her sudden twist to realize she was striking with the whip tail of her weapon aiming to stun the viruses. After letting loose with the attack, she had held on tightly to her weapon aiming to repel any in coming attack. She had smirked as she reached her right hand out gesturing in a promiscuous fashion while she secretly drew energy away from the enemy units.

((I don't think most mods would complain.))

The log rolls forward but the Eleballs prove much to fast to be hit with such a slow move. The next log, however, explodes out of the cannon, slamming into the center ball. It then continues on to hit the elesphere as well, which was not expecting a simple cannon to be able to strike more than one opponent. Empress then stuns the two more powerful foes, leaving only the weakest to attack. The eleball does indeed manage to hit the girl but due to a recently put up shield, it proves useless. Empress also causes a tiny bit of extra damage to the elesphere.

Empress had deflected the last attack with her shield as she had spun her scythe still feeling the tingle from blocking the electric discharge. She had twirled it in the air as she gripped the nylon part of her weapon that made her whip as she smirked towards the left over viruses. "Hmm...seems like that cannon tactic worked pretty well."

Almost as if she sounded surprised, Empress had stopped swinging her weapon for a moment as she had started to access another set of incoming data. "Of course it did!" Keera had responded. "It was my intention after all." Smirking slightly, Empress had folded her arms as the blade of her weapon had swung showing the three viruses in view. "Right...and it had nothing to do with a simple lucky gamble?" she had asked Keera who had fallen into dead silence.

"What's the status on the remaining units?" Keera had begun to dial on the PET's scroll menu as she digressed from the question with another. Empress had smiled knowing what she was doing, but didn't point it out seeing that thinking was enough to know what was on each other's mind using the full synchronization link. "Just three viruses, but I'm sure we can take care of them with one go." Empress had mentioned as she had raised her weapon once more.

"Good! Just make sure our little artistic nuisance doesn't get too comfortable!" Empress had rolled her eyes to the corner getting a glimpse of the virus with her dark gaze. With her mouth coveted by her shoulders as she peered towards it, she had remained suspicious of it's little talent. "Don't worry...I won't." confirming Keera's message, she had returned to battle unfolding her arms and scrolling the battlechip data that began to download.

"Cornshot1! Download!" Loading the battlechip data with a cry of her voice, Keera had watched the screen as Empress's right hand formed into a cornstalk. It had suddenly shed revealing the golden crisp kernels, and fired them off in an instant as they had acted like bombs bombarding the single Eleball virus that stood on the field.

Switching Battlechips, Empress had readied her next attack as she had revealed her scythe in an instant as it took the form of a multi-blade instrument that could almost be similar to a claw. It was obvious she had loaded the battlechip RageClaw, and seeing whenever she loaded a blade type battlechip, her scythe would take on similarities allowing for a stylish swipe at her enemies. She had smiled as she gripped the handle of her scythe and closed in on her remaining enemies.

With her murderous intent, she had taken her scythe as she had swung it once towards the EleballEX virus, and then proceeded to quickly whip around towards the even closer Elesphere virus as she had gripped the nylon whip tail of the scythe's grip and swung it around like a lasso as she aimed to swipe at her enemy with it a couple of times. She had let out a dastardly laughing enjoying herself while Keera remained silent letting her navi enjoy the moment. As she swung, she had tossed her body as the distorted energy she had given off pull towards any of the virus units left aiming to steal away some more energy and add it to her own.

((Eh? Doesn't Cornshot have to be fired at two separate enemies, like Twinfang? Oh well.))

A kernal of corn slams into the eleball and brings it down. Empress then gets in close and begins wailing on the remaining two enemies, the EX virus going down in a single hit. The last virus, however, manages to discharge some sparks which take out Empress's last barrier, before going down.

With the danger gone, the Art Met dances around happily again and then gets back to work. Three more figures get painted on his paper. After signing it, though, another trio of enemies show up, sending the met back into hiding.

"Hmm..." Keera had simply paused in her chair sitting quietly as she witnessed the new fleet of virus variations appear. She had narrowed her eyes as their presence was so sudden, but none the wiser, it just wasn't some coincidence now that she thought about it. "Thinking about...something, Madam?" Empress had asked knowing good and well of Keera's suspicion. However, she had only nodded her head while grasping the arm of her chair as she adjusted her body and crossed her legs.

"Let's continue Empress...but we'll have to use chips with high accuracy. These littlee rats are tricky." she had noted as the Netnavi had agreed as she had quickly put away her scythe and strapped it to her backside once more. She had taken action as she lifted her right hand preparing herself for an offensive attack most likely as that arm had became engulfed in a raging fury of flames. Aiming for the Ratty viruses, she knew she had to be careful because of their quick speed, and their attack would be a pain to cope with all the same.

"Roasted Rat...." with a summary of dark intention (as well as deliciousness in some poor country) Empress had compressed the stands of flames across her arms into a small fire ball as it had sat burning in her palm. Aiming for the first Ratty, she had let out a burst of the fire from her palm as well as a second burst to follow up the fire attack as the flame's explosive force was used to be rid of the viruses, as well as destroy as letting it's spreading blast catch another one of the nearby units and cause some damage.

Switching her chips only slightly, Empress had let her right hand change from a coursing fire stream to an electric current as it had compressed into a small ring of electricity. She had reeled back her right arm while holding the ring and aimed for the very last Ratty virus. She had whipped her arm forward giving a quick toss as the ring sped towards the Ratty2 virus.

"If my theory is correct...hmm...save it! For now, depend on defending yourself." Empress had nodded her head understanding as she followed on the feeling she had from Keera. However, she hadn't the chance to test it our right now as she switched herself to a kneeling position as if she was ready to lunge forward or perhaps barrel roll out of the way of an incoming attack. She had concentrated her focus as she reached a hand out towards the Ratty2 virus as she aimed to absorb some of it's material and cause damage while recovering herself.

The first flame attack manages to hit one rat, which begins to speed up emmensely. The second stike hits a single ratty as well though, alas, this one two begins moving at hyper speed. The strongest ratty then gets hit by the zapring, which freezes it in place. The regular ratty then fires off a small little mouse, which charges at Empress. She manages to sidestep it, but it then turns to the side as well and nails her. Her small accomplice cries out worriedly, not that anyone can tell what the hell its saying. Empress then drains a bit of life from the stunned rat.

"Sheesh! Does the damn thing have to squeak?" Keera had said in a bit of frustration hearing the Art Met cry out. It's voice was one thing, but having no idea what it's saying is another frustration that was starting to get on her nerves as well. Empress had quickly taken action as she prepared herself for another attack as she started to receive the incoming data. She wouldn't be surprised if there was the Big Hammer for the Met Virus that seemed to frustrate Keera's nerves, but it was priority first as she aimed to tend to the viruses.

Reaching her palm out with the small barrel imbedded within the center, she had quickly let out a blast of a shotgun round that was quick to blast at the weakest Ratty while also aiming to let out a spread shot coming towards the RattyEX that was nearby. She seemed to be close to using up all her bag of tricks to destroy the viruses, or in other words, her battlechips. Taking her time, she had growled as she reached for her scythe across her back once more.

"This is getting ridiculous!" Empress had said as she clinched her weapon as it had taken form to represent the armored claw of the battle chip RageClaw as she seemed to download the second one she had in storage. Quickly rushing forward, she had grabbed her scythe by the handled as she twirled it about with her skillful handling. She had quickly swung making a swipe at the first Ratty virus, and then she had quickly spun aiming a second strike towards the RattyEX trying to make sure they were taken care of.

"I see...you're taking care of the first two so you can focus on the stronger one. Good thinking!" Keera said with a smirk as she stared towards the vidscreen.

Empress had so far been on offense, but it wasn't as if she wasn't thinking her defense through. Knowing it wasn't so smart to dodge against the rat like viruses since their attacks were so swift with homing abilities, she had quickly brought up her Mettaur design shield in the nick of time using her battlechip, Guard. She had taken a steady kneel behind the large shield as she had held it up to guard against the incoming attack while she had channeled her absorbing ability focusing it towards the strongest Ratty virus on the field.

The SHotgun, through some kind of luck, manages to hit one of the rats as they dash around. Empress tries to strike one of the remaining ones with a rageclaw, but it doesn't stay in one place long enough for her to land a hit. Luckily, the normal ratty fires off an attack which reflects to finally bring it down. Empress then saps a bit of strength from the Ratty2.

"Ready Empress?" As Keera had gave the signal with those words, Empress responded with a nod. She had lifted her hands freely into the air as she had sprinkled herself with a light cloud of diamond dust soon triggering her Queen's Royale. Her body had became glimmering with the substance as well as her weapons hardening to the point where it affected the power sealed within her body for use.

With a Powerburst, Empress had lunged forward as she raised her RageClaw. Not needing any more battlechip data from Keera, and after giving themselves a temporary realization, they aimed to destroy the final Ratty. She had brandished her scythe that had taken the form of the weapon as she aimed with a sweep of it's head to strike the Ratty plus adding a burst of power to catch it. Her swiftness increasing her accuracy was assuring that she would strike it down, but yet, it was fast.

As she kept in range, she had swung her scythe a second time just in case she missed the first adding another burst of her power. By the time she was done, she had looked over shoulder as she brandished her scythe's whip tail end. She had quickly spun around as it aimed to strike the ground once, and then she twirled her body another time to strike twice to stun the Mettaur by surprise as one was aimed in front of it, and the second near it's small appendage to stun the brush by dropping it. She had glared towards the Met.

"Yeah, I guess you're getting at what I'm getting at." Keera had said staring towards Empress from the vidscreen as she watched the navi wield her scythe as the whip end had dragged across the terrain in a menacing manner.

"Certainly...if this Met has been summoning these viruses by drawing them on the pictures that it keeps, then this is the source of all our problems. The only way to test this theory is to scare it and wait to see if anything occurs. If a virus appears, then it most likely would be by coincidence that this would be happening, and if not, then we will have to let this Met draw and find out truly if another virus will attack."

Paranoid, but the least something was odd. Keera had glared towards the Met from where she sat as Empress was the sender of the deadly stare. Looking down on the Met in her tight black royal robes along her arms and chest, she hadn't budged an inch as her black eye liner and lip stick made her more intimidating than the crack of the whip as well as the blades upon it. With the scythe still brandishing the blades of the Rage Claw (in not broken) she had waited patiently to see the results of their prediction while her body had drained away at the remains around her, if any.

(Forgot the Regen again! Sorry, I'll start stating it for each action as a side note.)

As Keera had waited in silence after the attack on the viruses and faced down at the stunned Art Met, she had noticed that no viruses had attacked as of now. It was all silent as Empress had looked left to right, and even checked behind her. It was only a hint, but somehow, she was starting to get the idea that the only reason that all that trouble was caused was because of this one Met. She had narrowed her eyes as she towered over the Art Met.

"Well then...that's interesting..." Empress had said that as her right hand reached behind her back. "As soon as you stopped drawing viruses...they stopped coming." Empress had said in a suspicious way that was making it clear to the Met that was she was troubled by the fact.

"Now then..." without warning, Empress had lifted her right hand from behind her, instantly she revealed a palm that was encased in a glow of blue as it thrust forward towards the brush of the Art Met. Her intention was to knock it from it's hand with the microburst packed wind so they would be separated while she tended to the case of interrogating it, or perhaps deleting it depending on her mood. As her Static Burst had flew to strike the brush as well as pull some of it's energy from the material make-up upon impact, she had shot a glare towards the virus from the corner of her eye as she started to receive incoming battlechip data Keera had sent.

"This doesn't look like it will end well for you." Empress had warned as she spun the Big Hammer's handle in her right hand while towering her grim figure over the met, and lifting it as she was about to slam it down on the lone virus.

"Wait a minute Empress!"

At the sound of Keera's voice, Empress had halted her assault. She had paused her hammer's decent not too far from the Met's head level not knowing if she'd miss or hit, but at this point, she focused on obliterating the small virus for the trouble.

"We don't know for sure if this 'thing' has been causing us trouble, but it has been clear that these viruses appear when it draws them. We haven't seen them just lift up off the paper, besides, it seems like it means no harm, but at the same time I can't simply ignore it as a threat." Keera had logically deduced as she sat in the chair.

"What do you suggest we do?" Empress had asked as Keera folded her arms at sat in her chair thinking. The Met was doing fine and nothing was wrong with the picture. There was a last touch that perhaps gave her a strange feeling. Perhaps the very second it was used that the pictures started to come to life and become a threat.

"Empress...." Keera had asked as she had stared towards the vidscreen and saw the one thing her eyes had sat heavily on. "The brush..."

Understanding what was happening Empress knew this could be done an easy way as she stared towards the Met virus. Turning her grim expression to a straight face, she kneeled down as she looked at eye level with the Mettaur.

"Right, about that deletion thing..." Empress had begun to say trying to find the words. "I'm sorry for acting out so sudden. It was just the battle had me shaken up and I couldn't control myself." she had tried to explain even though she was lying, and doing it mighty well as she for once played the maiden role that would ask for sympathy and forgiveness.

"Anyway, I appreciated your pictures! They were very lovely...but I was wondering..." she had said as she played a charming smile for the virii. "Can I hold your brush?" she had asked with a smile. "I think it'll be quite fun if you let me paint one pictures and make one for you!" she had said giving a gentle smile even though it was a well disguised cunning one that hid her deceitful intent. She had pointed to the brush as she smiled towards the Met while attempting to drain from it because of her distortion which she couldn't help, but the damage was so slight it probably wouldn't be noticed.

((Sorry for the wait. I was trying to get some input on what to have this guy do but its been three days so...))

Empress damages the brush a bit and heals herself back up to full in the process. The brush goes flying, causing the met to panic and scamble after it. As its in the process of picking it up, Empress runs up with a hammer, making it close its eyes and tremble. Of course, Empress doesn't go through with it and after a few seconds, the met calms itself back down. Empress then sweet talks the met and it begins hesistetely handing over the brush. Then Empress's drain takes effect, causing it bit more damage to the brush. This causes the met pull back and begin squeaking angrily. It points the brush at Empress, yells something in its weird little speech, and then walks off in a huff. Seems its done making pictures for her.
