Scouting - The Forgotten Path

(Hmm...bump)
After finally coming up with something, a big-ass virus looms over the horizen. It appears to be a bigger and more powerful version of a Boomer. It still has its basic shape and large boomerrang in its mouth. It also has two large, blade like wings coming out from its back and a pair of arms with a boomerrang in each hanging below its body.

BigBoomer: 850

Terrain: All Normal

Empress: 120

Battle 10 Start
"It's a giant...clothespin?" Keera had said seeing the monstrosity from one view, but Empress folded her arms as she tilted her head trying to get another view of the large virus. "More like a giant plane?" She had asked a bit confused even though she was trying to guess herself. After a while and pulling up all sorts of views, Keera had blinked in reprisal.

"A giant...Boomer?" she had asked. "How do these things even get this big?" Empress had took a side step observing the large virus. Rather than a threat, it was like a giant freak show. "I predict that they become larger because of how they accumulate data from the same virus of the same family." she had guessed.

"That or very terrible in-breeding..." catching her attention, Empress had smiled turning towards her right ear hearing the communication. "Was that a joke Ms. Keera?" she had asked as Keera had narrowed her eyes. "Joke? Of course not! Humans seem to have their hormones react to the most dreaded figures. No doubt because their desperate." Empress had sighed hearing her NetOp.

"Let's dispatch this thing! Right now!" Keera commanded as Empress was on her guard nodding in response. "Yes Ma'am!"

Empress had quickly raised her arms presenting a large Windbox in front of her. It had let out a dread sounded at it's start as it became less motorized and more like a blast of wind that swept the cyber net echoing. Most likely it was a defensive tactic to stop the virus from making any consecutive attacks with it's large Boomerang attack. Stepping from behind the Wind Box, she had that sure smile on her face knowing she wouldn't fail.

"Alright loading thunder!" Keera had warned as Empress understood the idea. If she could perhaps catch the virii with it's mouth open and then attack while it was stunned, perhaps she would land some decent attacks. Taking that idea into consideration, she had rolled the thunder ball watching as it slowly proceeded across the field. She predicted by the time the attack made it onto the other side, the virus would've opened it's maw to become vulnerable.

"Zapring!" Empress had raised her hands as they jolted with electricity. She had aimed her palm as a ring of electricity formed. She had let out a blast of the electric ring even though it might've been deflected, or at least she hoped it wasn't.

"Let's play smart..." Keera had advised as she narrowed her eyes downloading one more battlechip as a large shield had formed in front of Empress. She had sat waiting while a vacuum of energy swept across the field aiming to pull away some excess energy from the large over sized virus.

Action 1 - Wind - Barricade (Reduce Enemy Accuracy)

Action 2 - Thunder1 - 40 Damage (Stun1 + Homing) @ BigBoomer

Action 3 - ZapRing - 40 Damage (Stun1) @ BigBoomer

Action 4 - Guard1 - Reflect up to 60 Damage

Passive Action - Drain 10 @ BigBoomer
The thunder locks onto the BigBoomer and manages to brush against it, stunning it while delivering some damage. Empress then follows up with a Zapring, which has similar effects. She then puts up a guard, though shaking off the stun takes too long for the large enemy to actually be able to attack.

BigBoomer: 760

Terrain: All Normal

Empress: 130 (Guard)
Wind: 100 (1/3)
((Why did my HP drop? 0_0))

"Looks like it's stunned for now" Keera had mentioned as Empress but down the shield letting it fade into nothing more than pixels. She had smiled seeing the monster was stunned for now which meant they could probably get in a few shots, but in this case with her gun torrent, a massive amount of them as she had lifted her right hand over head with her palm close.

"You're using Diamond Dust?" she had asked with a teasing smile on her face. "It's Queen's Royale....but...I have to admit, that other name sounds quite nice." she had said making a mental note to make a name change to her signature attack's name afterwards. She had opened her palm as the small particles had started to rain over her body. Halting in place like glitter, they had stuck and sparkled while her eyes had changed to a hypnotic azure color. She had focused them on the large boomer as she reached her right hand up exposing her palm to the virus.

"Load the first chip, please?" she had requested as Keera narrowed her eyes letting a stream of numerals go through her eyes until Empress's right arm coursed with a strong source of heat. "Heatshot, huh?" she knew the plan. Empress had given the power burst of energy to the flame that formed in her palm as it grew larger almost being compared to a balled inferno that was sitting place. Reeling her arm back, she had readied her aim and slung the ball of fire towards the distant Boomer virus.

"Switching weapons..." Keera had noted as Empress had stuck both arms out letting the barrels of the Machinegun form and then the whole torrent as it had been mounted on her limbs. She had aimed for the virus with all her focus on that one target and begun to unload a flurry of shots focusing her aim thanks to her azure colored eyes giving her a slight boost in her accuracy.

"Let's not get too cocky Empress." Keera had said watching her navi let out a flurry of attacks. The navi simply smiled hearing her NetOp's words. She had nodded understanding that they needed to put some play in some defensive tactics as she had braced her legs giving them strength ready to dodge the attack from the virus. That large Boomer's attack would probably be a hassle seeing it would be similar to it's miniature's version. As she had stared towards the enemy, the area had reacted as she pulled in a vaccum of energy from the virus's side attempting to drain it once more.

--------------------------------------------------------
Action 1 - Queen's Royale (Regen1 + 40 Power Burst + Accuracy Increase)

Action 2 - HeatShot - 40 Damage + 40 Boost (+Spread) @ BigBoomer

Action 3 - MachineGun1 - 30 Damage (x9 Shots) @ BigBoomer

Action 4 - Dodge

Passive Action - Drain 10 @ BigBoomer
Empress makes herself all pretty and sparkly, as if trying to seduce with massive piece of wood. Of course, it is all part of her plan to get the big thing hot as she strikes with her Heatshot, which has double the effect that it normally would. She then shows the BigBoomer that she's a quick shot, firing wildly with a machinegun, though he manages to dodge some of them. She then sucks some life from the big guy. The virus then pulls back both arms, throwing first one boomerrang from the left, followed by a second from the right. Empress dodges the first, though the second ends up striking her, the wood slapping her accross the face. Ouch. Of course, it probably just got lucky (wink wink), what with the wind there and all.

BigBoomer: 410

Terrain: All Normal

Empress: 125
Wind: 100 (2/3)
As Empress was damaged, she had taken her time slowly getting to her feet as she recovered. She had looked left and right in a disturbed way almost as if there was something she just missed. Keera had lifted a brow as she had saw her navi dumbfounded even though the last assault seemed pretty ordinary.

"What's wrong? Any abnormalities?" Keera had asked as she activated her PET and ran a quick scan checking for any status problems that might've occurred from the last attack. It seemed like a basic wood elemental attack at the most, but she had to be sure.

"I'm fine...but..." she had said adding the clause arousing Keera's curiosity. "I feel very violated in a strange way." Keera had tilted her head a bit confused in her seat as she stared towards her navi as if she was crazy after the remark.

"Come again?" Empress had reached her hands down towards her dress lifting it up slightly checking herself as she had checked her legs and unmentionable. "It just felt like that last set of actions seemed to be strangely flexible in a way that would possibly arouse some male that would find a way to get off on this or possibly be turned on by that last battle phase."

"Uuuh...huh..." Keera couldn't comment watching her navi check her dress and panty hose before dropping her dress again. "So...did you find any 'abnormalities' then?" the NetOp asked as Empress patted at her dress.

"No, my panties are untouched or wrinkled. Seems like I've been a good girl." Keera had sighed and turned into her seat focusing her eyes on the overgrown virus.

"Okaaaay! Let's get this battle back underway. I play teammate with you for a minute or two, and you turn into a battle tramp. Let's get this over with." Ignoring the whole awkward conversation and concern that took place, Keera's eyes begin to glow as she began to activate the next set of chips to send to her navi for the battle.

"I'll begin..." Empress had said as she reached behind her back wielding her scythe as she had swung around the whip tail end being revealed once more. The large slender whip had quickly wavered forward and then straightened as it lashed towards the Big Boomer virus aiming to strike it once, and then twice as she cracked it another time to strike and stun for another action. Empress had glared towards the virus as she had readied her defensive pose with her whip acting to deflect any attack might come her way.

"Loading Rattons! With the Wind on the field these buggers would be difficult to dodge." Keera was right about that. Without further delay, Empress had given the little sneak rat bombs a toss onto the ground as they had acted like little wand up toys and scurried across the field aiming to seek out the boomer virus.

"Now then, one more chip on the way..." Keera was obviously taking advantage this Wind would give her as she loaded a Magbomb battle chip. Empress herself had caught onto her thinking and liking how cruel she would be. That's the only thing that brought them together really. World domination and dark deeds really bring families together like Blockbuster nights. Ahhh!

Anyway, she threw the bomb with a mighty cast as it flew forward aiming to explode in a wide area to damage the Boomer if it would try to get away. She surely wouldn't allow that. Spinning her whip after the total result of her attack, Empress had aimed to drain a small portion of energy from the large virus. Even though it was like the tip of the iceberg, it would do some good, especially for her own energy.
--------------------------------------------------------
Action 1 - Whip 'n' Tango - Stun x2 (+ 2 X-Hit Barrier) @ BigBoomer (Stun2)

Action 2 - Ratton1 - 40 Damage (+ Homing) @ BigBoomer

Action 3 - Ratton1 - 40 Damage (+ Homing) @ BigBoomer

Action 4 - Magbomb - 30 Damage (Blast2 + Stun1) @ BigBoomer

Passive Action - Drain 10 @ BigBoomer
Empress immobilizes the large virus and put up two barriers. She then sends two rattons its way. Luckily the virus is close enough to the ground that the explosions from the two damage it. Empress then chucks a bomb, but the Boomer breaks free from the stun at the last second, moving back and whipping a boomerrang forward all in one action. It goes off course due to the wind, though the windbox appears to be fading.

BigBoomer: 320

Terrain: All Normal

Empress: 135 (Barrier) (Barrier)
Wind: 100 (3/3)
"Sending next set of chips..." Keera had noted as Empress had stood aligning herself ready to attack the virus. "What's wrong? Do you feel violated again?" she had asked as the NetNavi hadn't responded. "Empress, do you read my? Is something wrong?" The NetOp watched the virus from afar as she had stared towards it's but then reopened communications once more.

"You do realize this is a GiantBoomer, right?" Keera had blinked hearing the question. "Yeah, so?" Empress had pondered as she had scanned the ground with her eyes. "So, it's like fighting an ordinary Boomer except this one is packed with more energy. It's almost like we're fighting the same virus over!"

Philosophy in the middle of the battle. Only Empress could pull off such a feat. "Alright...battle chips loaded." Keera had sighed as Empress had resumed battle taking in hand a ring of electrical energy from loading a ZapRing battlechip. She had focused her aim on the Boomer virus planning to stun it for what she had in mind as she had reeled her arm back and cast forward attempting to stun the virus upon contact.

Empress didn't stop her assault there. Changing battlechips, she had quickly loaded a breaking type chip taking a miniature version of Powwie in her palm. She reeled her arm back and then given it a toss forward as it paused in the air and formed a giant weight attempting to drive the virus into the ground by landing on it. Keeping mobile, Empress had went through her chips as her arms went into a blaze and already she had loaded her Heatshot battlechip.

Empress had lifted her arms as she centered a fireball at the base of both of her palms. She concentrated the bulge of her energy outwards and let the blast fly forward towards the Boomer virus expecting it to cause an explosive impact as she halted movement and prepared to dodge for the counterattack. She had kept a powerful posture and pose as she let a stream of energy sweep from her opponent's area aiming to absorb some hit points.
--------------------------------------------------------
Action 1 - ZapRing - 40 Damage (Stun1) @ BigBoomer

Action 2 - Quake2 - 150 Damage (Break) @ BigBoomer

Action 3 - HeatShot - 40 Damage (Fire) @ BigBoomer

Action 4 - Dodge

Passive Action - Drain 10 @ BigBoomer
The zapring stuns the virus, holding it in place long enough for Empress to send a Powie crashes down on it. It still manages to dodge the following heatshot, however. It then throws both blades in its hands, though the miss. However, not quite done yet, the massive virus dashes forward, slamming into Empress. The wind fades away.

BigBoomer: 130

Terrain: All Normal

Empress: 135 (Barrier)
Wind: Disappeared
The last attack? Unexpected! As Empress was rammed into with the force of the large virus, her eyes widened not expecting that part. It should've served her right presuming it was the same as any other one of those Boomer viruses, but as she was hit with the head on ram, she had to take advantage of this moment as Keera had already acted loading her battlechips that remained in her memory.

"Get moving!" Keera had simply commanded as Empress had done just that. With a loaded Recovery10 battlechip, Empress had gained a slight recovery in health as she drew strength by the minor energy gain. She had reached out towards the Boomer that had crashed into her, assuming that it was still close range considering it would take a heck lot for it's massive size to get away as she readied her hands after focusing her aim.

Reaching her arms around in a sway, she had grabbed the whip tail end of her weapon and then slid her hands down until she had gotten a good grip as the head of the large weapon had formed to become similar to that of a mallet's cylindrical shape. She had brought it crashing down in order to smash into the large Boomer virus from the close range in order to pulverize it if it hit that was.

Preparing herself, she had stood at a battle pose as she prepared herself to dash past, or rather dash away considering if the virus was out of energy. She had little time to waste on it, but she wasn't to leave this battle. She was going to finish off the virus even if it killed her. She had concentrated as her unstable body once again reached out to drain some vitality from the giant virus.
-----------------------------
Action 1 - Recover10 - Recover 10 HP @ Empress

Action 2 - Close in and Prepare - Increase Accuracy for Close Range attack

Action 3 - BigHammer1 - 160 Damage (Break + Crack Panel) @ BigBoomer

Action 4 - Dodge

Passive Action - Drain 10 @ BigBoomer
Empress recovers a tad and then gets in close. However, once the boomer sees the large hammer coming over her head, it gets the hell away. It then whips around, throwing both of its 'hands', one of which take out the navi's remaining barrier. It follows up by firing off one of its wings, which flies around Empress, creating a tornado-like effect that spins her, before returning to the massive virus. While causing minimal damage, it still manages to make Empress quite dizzy.

BigBoomer: 120

Terrain: All Normal

Empress: 145 (dizzy)
Wind: Disappeared
As Empress was sent into a very confusing roundabout she had growled as she simply sat on the floor dazed and confused and disoriented. Keera had stared towards her display screen convinced that this virus wasn't as dumb as it looked as she turned her attention back to her NetNavi.

"Empress! Respond! How does it look on your end?" her words reached the netnavi, but she seldom to respond. She seemed to focus on the virus! All three of them...no? Two? One? It's one right? She didn't know anymore. She just knew she wanted to put her hands around them all and choke them into a sweet submission after putting her through a misery of confusion.

"Okay...gotta keep...going." the navi seldom said as she started to slowly stand. She was dizzy almost about to fall over until she had kneeled down and stared ahead towards the large Boomer virus. She felt likes he had got hit by a train and was still stuck to the front wondering when was the next stop. That wasn't a very good comparison, but she had a feeling this was how it felt like.

"Empress! Concentrate! I'll need you to stay on your guard this turn." The netnavi nodded, or at least tried to as she stared forward towards the Boomer virus. She kneeled down in a ready position. If it attacked, she would have to barrel roll out the way to avoid damage this time around. As she sat still, her body still was nothing less of unstable as it had let off a dastardly aura attempting to absorb some more energy from the virus.
----------------------------------
Action 1 - Counting the Viruses - Shake off Confusion

Action 2 - Dodge

Action 3 - Dodge

Action 4 - Dodge

Passive Action - Drain 10 @ BigBoomer
Due to her dizziness, Empress' dodging takes more the form of stumbling blindly. As the BigBoomer this time fires the weapon from its mouth, she rolls out of the way, or at least tries to. The end result is her kind of lying a bit tangled on the net floor, though luckily for her, this keeps her underneath the attack space of the giant weapon. However, it then throws its two arms blades. Empress somehow escapes the one but the other manages to hit her. Her focus for the drain is still a bit shakey, so that doesn't really work. As these events wrap up, she manages to stabilize her view.

BigBoomer: 120

Terrain: All Normal

Empress: 115
Wind: Disappeared
As Empress had taken on more damage, she had ultimately found herself being knocked back to her senses as she stood up once more staring across the field to the BigBoomer. She was done playing games. One way or another, she was going to show this giant clothes pin shaped wood munching reject who was boss. She hadn't said a word as she had a sharp gaze in her eyes while Keera had of course imitated that very look as her eyes had given a glow loading her next set of battlechips while Empress had wavered her right hand giving a dazzling display of her Diamond Du...Queen's Royale! Maybe changing the name wasn't a bad idea.

Digressing from that, she had coated her body in the glimmering substance as she empowered and strengthened herself in the sparkling veil while her status started to slightly improve by the spark of a recovery. She had prepared herself as she lifted her right palm and kept that serious expression while her hand had grown a beautiful sprout that seemed small and harmless like a beautiful rose was to bud from her hand.

Slowly the small sprout had shown a red color, but from the center suddenly burst a protruding yellow center as oddly enough it wasn't a beautiful rose, but a beautiful stalk of golden explosive corn. She had braced as she let out two bursts of the dangerous vegetable aiming it toward the giant boomerang wielding virus planning to give it a nasty taste of the veggie.

She had quickly acted as she looked up seeing Keera being quick to action as the blue cubes of data soon formed a whole log of wood. The cylinder piece of bark had slammed in front of her and with her usual attitude and quick aim, she had spun with a round house kick aiming to send the wood barreling forward towards the virus as well as she took the moment to reach behind her back to get a grip on her favored weapon.

Her hands grasped the rod of the scythe as the flexing nylon tail had dragged across the ground. Giving a twirl it became airborne and ready for use, and use it the girl did as she spun around whipping it forward in order to strike the virus while twirling once more to send a second lash towards the virus in order to give it a quick stun while she prepares for it's end. Her body unstable as her heart raced, but the instability wasn't that of her heavy breathing and tired out cyber data parts, but mostly because of the wave of distortion aiming to drain energy away from the virus.

"I must admit that this was more tougher than usual." Keera had said as Empress advanced forward. The navi nodded as the a smirk plastered across her NetOp's face.

"This is getting fun!" she had mused as Empress switched back to her original GMO ready for battle.

(Battle 11! Ya!)
(Three day bump)
Virus Attack!

Empress finds herself faced with a nasty-looking group of enemies. To make matters worse, the entire field seems to be covered in a metal coating. The twisties are hanging near the back.

Battle 11 Go
"Gimme a break!" Empress had said folding her arms gazing towards the set of viruses.

"Alright, but your funeral would follow afterwards."

As witty as the duo sounded, it was only small talk to ease the repetitive deletion of such viruses compared to those that were facing them down now. Keera had sat basic easily with a sigh as Empress had prepared herself slipping her fingers along her dress's waist line until a nylon strap had unbound itself from her sides. She had smirked as she looked over the set of viruses through out the area suddenly feeling confident, but when had she ever not?

Her smile slipped across her face as she glanced towards the viruses around the area determining that their element would make them easy pickings. Keera's eyes had started to give off that mesmeric glow as the values of zeroes and ones had started to pass in her vision once again as she spoke. "Let's not waste time. I'll send some Wood Elemental Chips and-"

"Wait! Hold on!" Keera's data transfer came to a halt as her eyes set and stopped from the sudden call. She stared at the screen before her seeing Empress keep her eyes on a certain set of viruses on the line as she was silent. "Do you see them? Those UFO looking viruses?" she had asked as she observed the hovering UFO figure forms as they had floated afar.

"Yeah? What are those things?" she had asked as Empress had whipped her right arm giving her whip a crack hearing Keera. "A problem." She simply responded before going on to explain. "Those things can steal any chip data you'd stock pile within me as well as be a nuisance with their electric type attacks. That means if you do decide to use any battlechips, you'll have to proceed carefully and swiftly." Empress had warned as she stared towards the viruses like their optimistic expressions were mischievous smirks. She wasn't fooled, not for a minute.

"Act now!" Keera's eyes glowed once more as Empress didn't waste time on the chip transfer and between her own actions. She had quickly toss her right arm up and started to swivel it around in circles sending the whip into a frenzied dance while Keera prepared a battle chip set that would be a wise choice to take care of this menace. Her whip had snapped from it's flexed and wavering form as it broke through the air aiming to strike the PurpleUFO as well as the close by RedUFO upon her snap reaction whipping her arm to the right to follow up. She wasn't taking chances playing around or being in a hurry at this point.

"ZapRing1! Downloaded!" Empress had reeled her right arm back hearing Keera as it jolted with small traces of electricity. Her whip changing from right to left hand as she kept it's momentum going to ensure she would be able to deflect any and every incoming enemy attack that she could manage with the guarding protection from her weapon. Her right arm had went from a jolt to a raging current as the electricity built up into her right palm and she raised it aiming for the only RedUFO she hadn't aimed for with her whip and let out a shocking blast to paralyze it if she could. Her plan was obvious even though nothing was said: they were to make sure that they could use their chips.

"Loaded Ringlog1! I'm counting on your little intel for now." Keera had muttered as Empress hadn't given not disdain towards those words. A simple shutter of her eyes had been enough to show that it struck her in some way as the cylindrical form of the log had materialized right before her eyes. As it had made it's way onto the field, Empress had quickly took advantage of it's presence and given it a quick tumble with the boost of her heel aiming for the other two UFO viruses she had directed the crack of her whip at earlier.

"You'll be glad that I warned you about those viruses." Empress commented smuggly with a smile on her face as if she was bragging. Keera wasn't too impressed. She had glanced towards the screen as she had given her head a slight tilt of lacking interest towards her comment.

"Only if you didn't forget the rest of the viruses and survive." she had reminded as Empress had turned back towards the horde almost forgetting them because of the fact she had been trying to hound away at the three other viruses that would be a pain. She had given herself the usual low growl at how annoying that the little things could be as she readied herself to dodge with a spread of her legs and the grounding of her leather shining black boots. Her body giving off a hellish aura as her drain reached for the likes of one of the ElecOgre viruses within the area as it's concentration wasn't really focused on anyone in particular.
