In search of vast knowledge and fun!

A fiery gateway soon found itself open above Net Square to allow the fireball navi to come crashing down to the ground below and materialize into existence. Taking a quick peek around the fiery navi started to skip along the net and up to the portal that would take her to Scilabs network. "Oh, a portal gateway this time huh. Well, here we go!" Giving a playful count to three the navi hopped her way into the portal.

And found herself landing upon the vast network that was Scilabs. Taking a short peek around her, Lucia soon took to her usual smile and singing as she started to skip along through the net in search of something interesting.

((Requesting Battle 1))

Skipping along a glowing green road, Lucia found herself some viruses soon enough. Barring her way further were a duo of fiery Champu, chaperoned by a Swordy brandishing a yellow blade in front.

-BATTLE ONE, FIGHT!!-

Lucia's skipping came to a halt when she found herself confronted by the three virii, tilting head to the side rather sweetly as she gave the group a soft smile. "Hello cuties! Come to play with me today?" The fiery thing giggled as she took a soft hop back and set herself slightly on defense.

Vincent faintly shook his head and sighed softly down at the little navi, "Just because your upgraded doesn't mean you can get cocky. But since you feel the need, await first strike then counter with this, give it a little something extra as well." Following the command he'd send down the first chip to his little navi. Which was then copied as a second was given beyond it. "Fire this in quick succession."

"Right away master! Alright lil virii who's first up!?" Hands tucked away behind her as she gave them all another smile, easing onto her toes so she could be ready to take a quick step back from whatever came her way first. Behind she held a small pick in hand, gathering up some flows of air to start spiraling around the axe. When the first of her new adversaries finally made its move, she would give a quick step back to try and avoid their strike. Only to swing down that pickaxe and smash it into the panels below, causing an eruption to burst forth and send a shockwave shooting forward, with a bit of wind to help carry along any foe that might be unlucky enough to get struck by it. Hoping the wave would bring double the pain if they were struck and knocked in its path again.

Just after the axe disappeared, flames atop wrist burst brightly as two black barrels extended and formed themselves atop her hand. Giving the virii one final wink she'd fire off those twin blasts of energy. Whatever happened to survive her wave would have a nasty little surprise headed their way as well.


Summary:
1. Tactical movement [wait for first strike then back step to avoid and prepair her counter]
* Gust [Sub Ability] 1 instance of Knockback
2. Shockwave [Battlechip] 40 Null Damage + Piercing + Ground Attack + Line Attack + Knockback @ first attacker +any behind in path [added knockback to carry enemy with the wave, possibly multi hitting?]

The Champu were the first to strike, as they went in for a double whammy double attack. Lucia was better, though, and simply jumped off behind them. The Champu were driven back by force just as they lifted their fists. Then, she picked off the fiery boxers with a cool shotgun blast. However, this left an opening for the Swordy, boosted by the glowing road's electrical properties, to come up to her and deliver a powerful slash! (20)

Letting out a cry as that glowing blade took its sweep across her systems, Lucia slumped for but a moment to deal with the lingering tingle of pain. "Damn virus get away from me!" In a huff the navi flung her arm out, bringing with it trails of wind as she tried to connect with the Swordy to give it a firm backhand to knock it away, hopping up after she'd take a step back, huffing softly again.

"If your done playing, finish it off." Drawing out two chips from the case at his hip, he'd slow the two chips in quick succession. "Heatshot and Cannon should do the trick nicely."

"Right away master!" the navi called as she hefted up arm while twin fiery red barrels burst from the fire around wrist. Turning her sights upon the sword wielding virus, she'd let loose those fiery blasts, just to grin afterwards as the blazing barrels started to melt together and widen faintly, forming a single, thick cannon muzzle, which she promptly fired off to follow those fireballs.

Summary:
1. Eek! No Touchy! [Signature] Microburst + movement

A squeal escaped Lucia's lips as she blasted away the Swordy far from her. Far, far away from her. Quite a bit far that the Swordy took some time to return to her position, and by then, it was death by cannon barrage.

Giving a quick nod and huff after the virus was dealt with, Lucia set about dusting herself off and scowling at the slash left behind on her tube top. "Stupid knife wielding bugger.."

"That's enough, collect the rewards and lets move on."

"Fire.." Giving a soft huff the navi made her way to gather up the zenny data that was left behind, sending it all to her opp's account. "What was that Lucia?"

The navi squeaked and stood up straight and tall, "Ah, sorry! I meant yes master!" Giving a quick nod of reassurance, Vincent sent the navi deeper into the net, though the grumbles about her shirt weren't helping any.

((Requesting Battle 2))

Further into the Science Labs network, the glowing path disappeared, leaving only the clanking echo of the metallic flooring. Shortly ahead, Lucia found some more viruses to spar with. Shock-eared Billy, shock-haired Twisty, and a lone Windbox greeted her on the sound of her noisy approach, thanks to her feet. The Billy were on either side of the Windbox, while the Twisty sat in the protective shadows behind it.

-BATTLE TWO, FIGHT!!-

Lucia came to a stop upon metal panels and gave a frown, first and for most at the fact metal was just so hard under bare feet. "This is hard stuff.." she mused while tapping heel against metal. But musing didn't last long when she felt the familiar blast of air that started to push her back the way she came from. Lifting gaze found the source of her dismay, "Virii.."

"Oh? Is someone still grumpy over being struck earlier?" "No!" came a shout back before she quickly covered her lips while slight tint came to cheeks, giving away her lie.

"Focus and we'll deal with them quickly. First change the scenery, we want the advantage here. Then abuse that advantage with this." Musings were over as Vincent tapped the screen to activate his navi's Set Stage ability. Following up with the first chip he'd intended to use. "The windbox first."

Musing navi didn't even bother with her usual spin as the core program was activated, instead she cast apart her arms to send the data seeds scattering about broadly. The change was instantaneous, the particles of data setting the panels aglow as they landed and started to terra-form the harsh metal into cool, soft grass. The chip that followed started to erupt from Lucia's right arm as she drew it ahead of herself to point towards the windbox. Curling her toes into the fresh grass to try and get a brace she fired. Those blazing red barrels seemed to draw a slight smoke before twin fireballs burst from them, sent sailing towards the large fan.

"Don't stand there, move, try to get a better lineup with them." Command was given, and quickly followed as the navi started to run through the grass in a broad arc. Rushing towards a place where Billy's and windbox would aline. As the fiery program reached her goal, second chip was slotted in and sent to her. A small pickaxe materializing in hand, which she then stabbed into the grass and dirt, creating a small eruption wave that started traveling towards her targets.

Summary:
* Set Stage: Grass [Navi Custom] Large terrain change to grass panels
1. Heatshot [Battlechip] 40 Fire Damage [+5 via type, +100% via panel type?] + Spread 1 @ Windbox [secondary target, Twisty behind it]

Spreading some lovely grass underneath the viruses, Lucia started off quite well with a burst of flame to punctuate her opening, deleting the Twisty behind the Windbox and damaging the fan quite heavily. The Billy responded not too kindly to this, and released their balls of electricity. Ironically, though, their ally served to hinder their attacks, as the Windbox blew Lucia away from the shocks. Then, she simply blasted away the box virus with a Shockwave, missing one of the Billy due to a lineup miscalculation.

Lucia frowned and give a loud huff when she saw the shockwave sail right by the second Billy, "It moved!!"

"They do that, now then.." Lucia didn't seem to be ready to listen, already she was starting to move back towards the two virii, which didn't seem to please Vincent at all. "Lucia, stop!" Scowling at the holo-screen, the operator took out a chip and slotted it in quickly.

The sudden materialization of a bright yellow shield weighing down the navi's arm snapped her back into focus and she quickly came to a stop and tried to hop back onto the grassy terrain. "Oops, sorry master!" The shield was quickly placed in front of navi as she peeked around at the two little elecro-sparkies. "So now what master?"

"Wait for the brief moment they fire, then hit them with these." Two more chips were sent the fiery program's way in quick succession. The first quickly formed itself atop Lucia's right hand, two solid black barrels that seemed to have grown straight out of the fire surrounding her wrist. She'd do just as ordered, turning sights upon the stronger of the two virii and let loose those twin cannon blasts.

Just after those energy bolts had been fired, the smoking barrels lit up brightly and started to fuse and expand quickly. As the data reformation light faded, she turned the larger barrel upon the second virus, and quickly fired it after the first blast. If it didn't get finished off with the other, this one should deal with it she'd hoped.

Summary:
1. Guard1 [Battlechip] 1-Hit Shield + Reflect up to 60 + Piercing + Line Attack

Canceling the shield resting upon arm, Lucia moved out to gather up all the data left behind from the encounter. "Ooo, more money and a chip data! What did we get this time master?"

"Send it over and we'll find out dear.." The net opp said as he slipped in a blank and downloaded the data, quirking a brow slightly before frowning over which of the virii decided to leave its remains. "It's a Thunder1 chip. Basically a slow moving ball of energy, on the up side, it will track and stun an opponent. So it has its uses, I suppose." Adding the new chip to his folder pack, and the Zenny to his credit he'd check his navi's status.

"Seems your still stable enough, carry on and we'll see if our luck holds dear." "Yes sir master!" the little fire program called, her usual chipper nature returned, and she went skipping down the network in search of more playthings.

((Requesting Battle 3))

Not far after she had defeated the Billy, Lucia found another strip of road, this time made of glass that showed the ground beneath- or lack thereof. Anyway, sitting all pretty-like on the road besides herself were a trio of metal-headed Boomer, with Gunners poised to fire behind them left and right of the road.

BoomerA: 60HP [Glass]
BoomerB: 60HP [Glass]
BoomerC: 60HP [Glass]

-BATTLE THREE, FIGHT!!-

Lucia was just having a grand time skipping along the metal floors, at least that was until she stepped upon glass and gave a squeak as she slipped and nearly fell. A quick shift in weight and balance kept her from falling on her butt. But it did bring her attention up in time to see the group of virii that were ahead of her now. "Glass, I never saw anything like this back home.."

"Lucia, get yourself back to the metal panels, the glass it to slick to fight on properly." "But why can't I just turn it to grass like I did before then?" The navi tried to argue her point as he focus turned towards the group of Boomers ahead of her, wrinkling her nose. "Weird looking virii.."

"Lucia, get back then use this to attack the three of them. If it doesn't kill them, it should shatter the glass they are on and send them to their deaths anyway." Mid sentence he'd slot in a chip to have its data downloaded and sent towards his navi. The small pickaxe formed up in her hand and quickly she understood the logic and took a hop off the road to try and get herself back on the metal panels.

After her little movement she slammed down the pick into the ground, letting it rupture beneath the strike point and send the destructive wave of energy towards the trio sitting pretty atop the glass. Soon after her attention turned upon those ready to fire gunners, squeaking out in surprise, sure she'd be struck. That is, until a large met hat shield materialized in front of her defensive arms, blinking at it and tucking herself under to try and hide from what she assumed would be a barrage of bullets.

Summary:
1. Tactical Movement: Get off the glass road and back onto metal panels
2. Shockwave [Battlechip] 40 Null Damage + Piercing + Ground Attack + Line Attack @ Boomer A, B & C [+damage from glass beneath]

Getting quickly off the glassed panels, Lucia quickly smashed down on the glass with her pickaxe. Unfortunately, she was a mite too close to it when she did so, and she took a few shards to the hand and face. (10) The shockwave traveled across to the Boomers, and smashed them to eeny meeny little bits. The Gunners at the sides took minimal damage, and opened fire on Lucia. Unfortunately, they were equipped with rapid-fire guns, unlike their Cannon brethren, which turned the Guard into cheesecake. She barely managed only to evade one bullet, but the others ripped right through her. (10x4)

"Fu--!!" Navi's words were cut off as the rapid firing gunners tore through her shield like tin foil. The glass shards didn't help matters either as she slumped down on the metal tiles and gripped her chest and side tightly. Her once bright fiery hair seemed to be fading like a dying flame might have been, and data sparked randomly about her programming.

"Lucia! Damn wasn't expecting that, strong gunners, if you can move, get moving, don't hold still now, those things will tear you to ribbons!" Original plans were scrapped quickly as Vincent checked over his remaining chips. The navi let out a growled response to orders and started to run across the metal panels to avoid anymore of those multi firing attacks.

Shaking his head lightly he'd decide upon their next move and send in a chip to the weakened navi. "Their weakness is their immobility, line them up and take them down."

"Right.. ugh, right away master!" Having to push herself hard the navi took to running across those metal panels, making sure to never stay aligned with one path to long and be caught by the viruses' aim. Mid run the chips data would come blazing in atop her right wrist. One quick glance told her the plan as she kicked off firmly and pointed those double barrels towards their intended targets. "Die scum!!" she roared loudly enough to be heard over barrels blasting the shotgun rounds towards the intended target.

Landing afterwards she erupted within a bright fiery blaze, Missing slashes of clothing quickly being covered over as orange jumpsuit formed. Only to be hidden beneath layers of deep crimson steel that solidified around her form, dawning her armor to help keep her alive against any retaliation that might be coming from a survivor.

Lucia slumped down and started to pant and huff lightly, her new found armor starting to disintegrate away into particle dust once the danger was passed. "That.. really sucked master."

Vincent gave a soft nod of his head as he'd start to open up his PET's sub systems and activate one of the expendable programs there. Sending his navi a minor recompiling program, which set to work right away and closing up the small gapes along her framework. Tube top shirt glowing faintly as the slashes in it seemed to fuse back together again. While it wasn't enough to make the navi 100% again, it was enough for her to continue on her journey. "There you go Lucia, feel any better now?"

Lucia would say nothing as repair program did its job, once it finished however she pushed herself to her feet and gave a once over. Tugging shirt a little and gives a soft spin to get her fiery hair and cuffs a blazing light up. "Much better! Thank you master!" Navi would look around and quickly move over to gather up the left behind data to send her operator's way. "So I take it this means we'll be staying on this network a little longer?"

"Yes that's correct, go ahead and get going Lucia, we'll keep an eye out for those Gunners, they have proved themselves a bother." "Right away master!" chimed the navi again and set out along her skipping way, carefully avoiding the broken glass panels and shards that were all about.

Finally, after some time detouring on the glass-made road, Lucia found herself on the glowing road she had found when she first came into the network. However, she found her way blocked once again by a mishmash of viruses, some standing on the road, some not. A gruesome horned ElecOgre, a nondescript DBLCUBE block, a strange-looking Yort, and a rat.
