Scouting - The Forgotten Path

"Damn...got away!" Keera had said slamming her fist into the chair's arm. "That little virii cost us hell of a lot of trouble, but I guess the Zenny and the chip data would do." emptying the chip data, Keera had sighed as Empress pressed on through the underground.

"No good complaining...shall we proceed Ms. Keera?" Empress had asked. "Fine..." Keera had chanted as she let out a sigh afterwards. "Let's proceed." she had said as the NetNavi continued down into the underground as she walked and then jogged remembering the time elapsing between her task.

Battle 6 Start
"It doesn't get easy no time soon Empress." Keera had simply said to her navi as she glanced towards the set of viruses. She could see the line up was changing slightly. As always, it was the original viruses that had stood in their way. She didn't sweat it as she had raised her right arm preparing an offensive by activating her signature ability, Queen's Royale as she sprinkled the sparkling material over her body boosting her stats as well as activating a temporary recovery.

"Understood Madam, let's begin." With a swift movement by stepping in front of the aligned Viruses, Empress had raised both of her arms causing a gun torrent to appear, covering both of the limbs. A small lens had popped up across the top of the torrent's body as Empress peered through it, aiming for the Gunner viruses that were in her site.

"Targets locked, fire!" Empress had said as she let loose with a stream of rounds fired towards the viruses while Keera had readied the next set of battlechips. "Change targets..." Empress listening to the order had set her eyes on the Billy viruses as she had changed the battlechips that were loaded and focused her aim on the elec type viruses.

Sure she could hit with an elemental weakness, but even more useful would be a quick blast and a decisive movement. Quickly, she had rid of the gun torrent as her arms had coursed with a stream of flames. Soon, she had quickly formed into her palm a ball of fire as she held it while moving her fingers in a manipulative manner adding power to the balls of fire. She had quickly thrust her palm out as she let the fireball blast forward aiming for one of the Billy viruses, and letting the spread from it hope to catch the next one if it would make contact with it's proper target.

Empress being vulnerable now had quickly switched to her defensive pose as she raised her right hand and formed a large Guard shield to cover her this turn incase an attack would come her way. With that, she narrowed her eyes and focused her energy as she aimed to drain away some power from one of the Billy viruses adding it to her overall recovery she had gained overtime.

((A double negative? That almost seems OOC for Keera.))

THe machine gun rips through the trio of gunners as Empress takes full advantage of her upped accuracy. She then blasts one of the Billy with a slightly empowered Heatshot, taking it down. One the the last two enemies sends an electric ball her way, though she reflects its power with her guard.

((That post was rushed since I had to get up and go to work, so, yeah. Excuse me for that.))

"Two left..." Empress had dropped her right hand as the shield dissolved into nothing. She folded her arms remaining motionless as if the remaining viruses weren't a threat at the moment. Keera had beg to differ as she had already begun to load battlechips from the memory folder as she sat up tossing her head forward while her eyes lit up with that eerie glow.

"We have to hurry and take care of them. Time isn't on our side right now." she had warned as Empress had gotten back into her fighting form. "Understood...receiving chip data." With that Empress had quickly unloaded her arsenal of chips as she grasped both ratton bombs that were sent by her NetOp. She had quickly set them as she aimed for the first Billy and slid the bombs along the ground.

"This shouldn't take long Ms. Keera, but..." Empress had begun to say as her right hand coursed with a spark of electric energy. She was about to speak, but she paused as she gotten no immediate response from Keera. She had figured however that it was best not to mention it now as she formed a ball of energy in her hand and spiked it onto the floor as it went rolling across the terrain homing in on the second Billy virus.

"Nevermind..." Empress had said as she quickly set up a defense. Raising her arms, she had generated. Preparing herself for a quick dodge, she had lowered her posture to jump back knowing that most likely the virus would counter with a rolling thunder ball itself. She wasn't intending to get stunned since that would be a big inconvenience. Quickly, she had threw her concentration of her distortion towards the virus's direction as she aimed to cut away at more of their energy while gaining more of her own energy.

Empress stretching her limbs as she dusted off her robes of her Royal Reaper GMO had downloaded the Zenny seeing the win as shallow as usual. Dashing forward, she had proceeded forward deeper into SciLab's corridors.

((Battle Sevenish!))
Virus Attack!

As Empress moves on, she encounters eight more viruses. They all look like they mean business. Scattered about the field are metal panels. A Magtect and two of the Yort are on a strip and them and so is Empress.

Battle 7ish Start
"Not as hard as I thought it would be up to this point." Keera had said glancing towards the viruses along with Empress. Hearing her NetOp say that was amusing enough as she smiled letting her eyes settle with her smile almost forgetting she was in a battle. "Disappointed?" she had chimed towards Keera. The NetOp had only responded with a small chuckle as she had sat back. She was only humored by the statement.

"I will be if we fail to find what we're looking for. Engage the enemy quickly!" following commands, Empress had quickly given a spin on her heel as her right hand whirled around her leaving a trail of the sparkling diamond dust like substance once again as it coated her and prepared her for this upcoming battle. So far, she had Melee viruses on the loose, so using close range attacks was probably out of the question at this point. As she stopped spinning and stood covered in the material while staring out towards the many viruses with her eyes reaching an azure glow.

Quickly Empress reeled back her right arm as within her palm had materialized a single Magbomb. She had clinched it tightly adding a small power boost to increase it's damage ration slightly as she focused her aim on the center of the virus group that tread on the metal panels. After channeling in the last of her power burst into the bomb, she cast it forward aiming for the Yort in the center of the group so the impact of the blast would also hit the second Yort as well as the Magtect that was beside it.

Empress was quick to react just as Keera was slotting in one chip after the next. Turning her attention towards the first set of Magtects, she knew if anything she hated more, it was to be stunned and delaying this battle even more which she could not afford. She had quickly reacted to the falling RingLog as she leapt into the air performing a kick flip with added momentum giving it a power boost, as she sent the log onto a roll aiming for the first Magtect and letting it's roll progress to the next virus in line beyond it.

As she landed, Empress had quickly used the last piece of incoming data as she raised her hands in front of her. Instantly a massive yellow shield had appeared with a marking upon it's front similar to that of a Mettaur's helmet design. Waiting for an incoming attack, she had sat in safety as she reached her eroding aura down the battlefield as her distortion ability aimed to drain away some energy from one the viruses from a far away range.

Passive Action: Distortion - 10 Drain @ YortC
Two Yort get hit with the bomb, though the Magtect moves back a bit, out of the way. Due to the panels they're standing on, the duo dies. She then hurls a ringlog through a pair of magtect. After that she puts up a shield and drains a bit of health. One of the Champu attack and its hit bounces back on it. However, since its a manly EX version, it manages to ignore the pain and finishes its attack, punching with its other fist. The firey hits eat up both the floor beneath it and beneath Empress for much ouchies.

Empress had winced as she was hit by the fiery jab, but she had stood straight up once more as if it didn't hurt. In truth, she was only remaining strong in front of Keera as usual. It was her purpose to serve and not show her weakness that would only disappoint her NetOp. She had took a stance as she prepared to engage the enemy once more looking towards the few remaining viruses after deleting half of them at least.

"Time to play it smart..." Empress had said as Keera had quickly switched her plans loading a RingLog battlechip as the navi had watched as the log had dropped from the air and quickly lifted her leg giving it a big heaving kick towards her desired target. It had progressed across the field closing in on the last remaining Magtect virus as well as aiming for the remaining Yort virus as it would continue it's roll.

"Ms. Keera...I'll require fire power." Responding Keera had let her eyes drift off to a concentrated gaze. "Of course..." she had muttered while the digits and light violet glow had came to her eyes downloading the battlechip, MachineGun1. Empress had lifted both arms forming the gun torrent along her limbs. The lens had came up as she concentrated her multiple shot rounds aiming for the Yort Virus as well as the ChampuEX virus, but most of her shots concentrated on the fire punching virus at the most.

"Now that I've thought about it...I've never used that weapon before." she had said as Keera had understood. The NetOp had stirred the same mesmeric look in her eyes as she begun sending more data to her PET. "BigHammer1, Download!" she had said with a smile. Empress had reached behind her back grabbing the Scythe of her Royal Reaper.GMO. As she wielded it's end that was held flexible with the nylon grip that had connected to the whip, she had spun the weapon until the blade end had formed into a large cylinder mallet like shape. Quickly, she had rushed her enemy and then lift her weapon before bringing it crashing down on the ChampuEX virus.

"Now to defend myself...." Empress had quickly lifted her right arm as she materialized a large box like barricade to her front. It started to let out a low hum as on the inside a propeller started to spin sending out a blast of air and wind towards the viruses or whatever was left as she was hoping it blew away nothing but data remnants in her favor. If any enemy was left, she was hoping it would be close range type seeing they would have to plow through her defense to get to her at least as she stood directly behind the fan. She kept well defended and close behind the obstacle as she aimed to drain away some energy from one of the distant viruses.

The log rolls through the Magtect, taking it down. Empress then activates her Machinegun, ripping through her two targets. She then turns a part of her weapon into a hammer and brings it slamming down on the final virus. Unfortunately this leaves her with nothing left to still life from... oh well.

As the hammer had slammed down on the last enemy, Empress had quickly reached reverting the head of her weapon back to it's former glory as she cast it back sheathing it away. "Viruses deleted...continuing into the SciLab Corridors..." she had said in a tone that could be compared to that of a robot as she reported to her NetOp and scurried down the path continuing along in a hurry.

(Battle 8 w/ extra action!)
(J-E-L-L-O.....I mean...Bump!)
Virus Attack!

A jumble of viruses, mostly elec, all move towards Empress. Three float while three hop. Two weird looking head things sit in the back, on either side of them a large menacing hand.

Empress had taken a good look at the line up of viruses. At this rate, it was clear that this was a problem seeing the types that were in front of her. Still her goal was the same: break through and continue the investigation. At this point, it seemed like if there was a small gate leading from SciLab into SciLab Underground, they're presence should've been detected and the access point most likely closed off. Still, that didn't mean they could at least delete hordes of viruses until they couldn't lift a finger anymore.

"There seems like no reason to further go on and investigate this area. But I wish not to jack out..." Empress suddenly surprised as the statement eyes had quickly shifted to one corner hearing Keera. She didn't ask why, if anything she knew it would only show her interest towards her NetOp's reasons, and if that was so, she'd never reveal them. She stayed silent as she gazed towards the horde of viruses. They wouldn't stay inactive for too long.

"Shall we engage the enemy Madam?" Keera had stared towards the screen. Her lips had curling forming the usual smile as it had a malevolent feel to it. It was that same one she'd give to her victims, and with her eyes cascading once again with the purple glowing values and numbers, she had responded. "Go ahead..."

Empress was quick to reach behind her back grabbing her scythe brandishing it the second she received permission. "Affirmative!" She swung her weapon bringing it behind her back as the whip tail end had lashed forward aiming to strike one of the HandyEX viruses. As she had sent her body into a spin the whip and whirled around before she swung down making it lash over head and once again it had aimed to strike another virus.

"Madam Keera! I think I require breaking type chips." Keera had observed the field as she had caught in her sight, the two round steel viruses. She could see where her navi was coming from. With their defense, they may be able to deflect any attacks that come their way, and at the same time be able to fire off breaking type attacks on their own. Lucky for them both, they were grounded in place, so that made them sitting targets. Focusing her vision on the viruses, she transmitted the data silently understanding Empress.

As the navi had stood from afar, she had cast a small glimmer of light that was a miniature Powie Virus. By the time it had hung over head one of the menacing gray viruses, it had taken form into a large weight and quickly dropped in order to smash the enemy while shattering the panel it sat on. Empress had taken advantage of the moment as she dashed forward with her scythe in hand. Targeting the second virus in her sight, she had raised her scythe as it's blade head formed a large cylinder form and she brought it crashing down in order to smash her enemy.

Lifting her right arm as she swung her scythe that reverted back to it's original form in her left hand, she had smiled as she presented a barrel under her dark glove. She had let out a blast of a shotgun around in a quick fashion as she kept up her movement being quick in trying to delete as many viruses as she could at this time around. Mainly aiming for the hopping Bunny viruses. She had her scythe out swinging it readying to deflect any other attack that came her way.

As She had ran out of movements this time around, she had bid her time trying to buy some rest. Her body let out a gaseous aura as it aimed to absorb some life from one of the viruses. "It looks like I'll have to try to defend myself this time." she said as she lifted her scythe in a ready position.

Empress freezes the two hands, and puts up some defenses. She then throws out a large weight, which crushes one of the hardhead enemies. She then moves in close to the other one and smashes it with a large hammer. Seems neither of them will be too much of a hassle. She then takes down a bunny with her gun and drains another for slight damage. An eleball then races up and destroys one of Empress's barriers and a zapring from the previously assaulted bunny takes out the other one. Empress breaks even.
