Double Toil, Double Trouble

[From the Netsquare > Meeting Space]
On the SciLab side of the main portal between SciLab net and the Netsquare, a beam of red light appeared, shining down on the platform. Pieces of data began to appear and float down, then form into a netnavi as they reached the ground. After a few seconds, Delta stepped forward off the portal and turned around to wait for his new acquaintance.
[Battle 1]

[From Netsquare]

Musou materialised, his vision filled with white. The light faded as his surroundings came into view, and the navi standing in front of him. He nodded to Delta as he stepped off the platform and tightened his black belt. He threw a few punches and kicks, and tested took a couple quick stretches to make sure he was limber. A needless activity perhaps, trained into him but likely of no use to a navi.

((Am I supossed to request also? I'll let you take care of it I guess))

Before the two navis could have a proper introduction with one another, or even before they had the chance to, a group of viruses appeared before them and they were more than ready to fight their preys. With the entire terrain set as Metal, the viruses thought they were at an absolute advantage with their electric attacks! Prove them wrong!

BunnyA: 50 HP
BunnyB: 50 HP
BunnyC: 50 HP
BillyA: 80 HP
BillyB: 80 HP

Terrain: 100% Metal

Delta.EXE: 140 HP
Musou.EXE: 150 HP

-TEAM BATTLE ONE, START!-

Musou dropped into a fighting stance out of instinct and quickly sized up his foes. He had never encountered either of these viruses before but the billy looked like a walking generator and he was on metal.. Bad combo. He decided the first thing to do was to take the defensive against their ambush, watching for any attacks and dodging them as best he could. He figured if he could move fast enough he could avoid whatever was coming but if he couldn't, the least he could do was jump the moment before he was struck so if he did get shocked, he wasn't standing on metal.

As he circled around the enemies he tried to position one of the.. Bunny.. things.. Between him and the Billy, hoping it wouldn't risk shooting through it's ally.

He yelled out with a short "Shhii" as he gathered energy in his palm and threw it at the Bunny closest to him to soften it up. A golden orb, the color of his chi, no bigger then a golf ball sailed through the air rapidly.

1 - Dodge

2 - Tactical Movement/Positioning (Using BunnyA as cover)

3 - Buster Shot at BunnyA (2 Dmg )

Delta was surprised that viruses had appeared so quickly, but he recognized both types. All elec types...too bad I don't have any wood chips...and that we're on metal. As soon as he had finished thinking however, the navi asked Henry, "We just ran into a group of viruses. I'm thinking a minibomb would be a good opening move."

Henry cheerfully sent the chip, then said, "Looks like you're off to a good start."

Delta nodded as he loaded the battlechip, the black sphere dropping with little noise into his palm. Might as well aim for the billies... With that thought, he swiftly flung his arm back until he held it straight out behind him, then threw the explosive with as much force as he could muster, sending it in a high arc that would hopefully end with one of the goat viruses.

However, the armored navi wasn't finished yet. Forming his left hand, the same one that had thrown the explosive, into his buster, Looks kinda plain, doesn't it? Not really the best choice for a custom weapon..., he took aim again at the same virus, and fired, the weapons muzzle spitting fire as it launched projectiles at his target. As soon as he had finished firing, Delta leapt out of the way of an attack from one of the viruses.

Being extra-cautious about their enemies, Musou preferred to simply dodge and do weaker attacks, while Delta went for the big guns. The MiniBomb landed perfectly, but his buster shot later critically failed. The viruses began their assault, and fired a barrage of electrical nonsense at the team. Fortunately, the attacks were dodged successfully. However, the Billies' attacks were cheating, as the balls of electricity they fired turned back on the Navis!

BunnyA: 50 HP
BunnyB: 50 HP
BunnyC: 50 HP
BillyA: 78 HP
BillyB: 4 HP

Terrain: 100% Metal

Delta.EXE: 140 HP [Incoming Thunderball]
Musou.EXE: 150 HP [Incoming Thunderball]

Musou blinks and sees the electric ball coming back at him. "Tsk, doubles back..." He mumbles. He attempts to leap up and over the Bunny to place it between him and the incoming attack. Crouching low to make a smaller target, he keeps moving as best he can.

Screw Kenji, he could do this stuff alone. Well, not alone alone per se but.. On the other hand, some battle chips or even some wity banter could sure come in handy. He didn't talk a lot in a fight and neither did Ken, they mostly just complained to each other. Sadly, he kind of missed those arguements.

Thinking for a moment, Musou mumbles "In fact.. Why don't you..", he thrusts a strait kick out at the Bunny, trying to knock it directly into the incoming electric ball "Take care of that for me!"

1 - Tactical Movement, evasion

2 - Dodge

3 - Attack on BunnyA, knockback attempt into thunderball.

Delta wasn't at all surprised when the ball of electricity made a sharp turn to keep coming after him. He simply stepped around the shot, then formed his buster again, and raised it in the direction of the virus. Taking careful aim, he fired two shots at it, barely noticing the recoil.

As he finished firing, the navi changed targets to the other virus, and fired twice more, not taking time to aim properly or brace.

Having the Thunderballs on their tail, Delta and Musou got to their feet, with the latter successfully evading the ball, even knocking one of the Bunny straight into its path! Delta, however, was not so fortunate, and he was hit with the homing ball while he was distracted. (15x2Metal, Stun) He did manage, however, to deal out some damage to the Billy in retaliation, deleting one and shaving some health off the other. The viruses continued to attack, one hit Musou in the back. (10x2Metal, Stun)

BunnyA: 34 HP (Stun!)
BunnyB: 50 HP
BunnyC: 50 HP
BillyA: 66 HP
BillyB: DELETED

Delta.EXE: 110 HP (Stun! -1 Action)
Musou.EXE: 130 HP (Stun! -1 Action)

Delta's body was wracked with spasms from the thunderball, leaving him barely able to stand for a few seconds.... As he recovered and his armor's self repair routines started up, Delta said to Henry, "I'm alright, I'm alright. Give me a shotgun and I'll see if I can't finish off the other billy."

Henry quickly sent the chip, then leaned back in his chair, "Try to hit something else as well."

Delta pressed his lips together until they were barely visible as he loaded the battlechip into his left hand. As the buster formed and charged with energy, he aimed it at the bunny. "Bye," he said quietly before pulling the trigger, sending a cloud of shrapnel at the virus. The bunny probably hadn't heard him, what with him saying almost at a whisper and the noise of the battlechip...oh well.

Without further ado, the navi prepared himself to avoid any more stunning surprises from the horde he was facing.

Musou stumbled as he fought against his own body for a moment to regain control. "Nnnuhhhhhh!", he grunted as he finally threw off the stun and shook his feet a moment before resuming his dance.

That took too much time, he thought, if I'm gonna be effective at ll it will have to come at a little risk. He focuses for a moment, the viruses and his allys data glowing in his eyes, wisps of energy trailing off their bodies from their movements. He attuned himself then tried to grab the stunned bunny and use it as a shield, trying to be a bit more aware of his surroundings.

1 - Stun!

2 - Activate Sig: Absorb data 15heal on (anyone's) next delete.

3 - Grab BunnyA, use it as shield.

Absorb Data cooldown: 1

Delta repaired some of his processes while Musou stood there, regaining his composure and attuning himself to his surroundings. Then, Delta attacked the Billy and Bunny together with his Shotgun, deleting them both in one fell swoop. The deleted data flowed to Musou, healing himself slightly. Afterwards, Musou dashed for the stunned Bunny, and picked it up for a meatshield! The other surviving Bunny was confused at this strange maneuver, and opted instead to fire at the unshielded Delta, who dodged the attack quite nimbly.

The Bunny in Musou's grasp tried to break free, but was stuck there, sadly.

BunnyA: 34 HP (Meatshield!)
BunnyB: 50 HP

Musou.EXE: 145 HP

Musou grinned and said "Your tearin' them up Delta! Save some for me". He looked down at the Bunny in his hands and got an idea. Not a battlechip or a charged attack per se but he was trained to hit things hard and if it could channel chi he could strengthen it. He raised his hand, gripping the bunny tight as power flowed into his fists. He channeled it all into the hand with the Bunny and roared a loud "Keeeeyaaaaahh!" as he quickly dashed at the Bunny who had focused on Delta. He tried to spike the Bunny with all his might into the other one, his hope that even if the target avoided, the one in his hands was still screwed. As he traveled, a wicked smile formed on his lips. Something about the power surging through him, not quite as built up as he was used to but still intoxicating, this must be what sipping fine wine is like, he thought.

Reguardless of the outcome, after channeling the energy through him and a few tiny bolts of leftover golden power coursed from his hands, down his body and jumped around the metal panel he was standing on for a moment before finally disipating. Longing for that feeling again he focused chi into his fists.

1 - Activate Sig: Inner Might (40Strengthen, 1TCD)

Delta watched Musou attempt to bludgeon one of the viruses with the other remaining one. As the other navi stopped his assault on the bunnies, Delta's left hand was transforming into a buster. As Musou stepped away and began to charge up an attack, Delta raised his buster at the virus which had been the target of it's fellow.

After a seconds pause, Delta fired two shots at the virus, the recoil and noise barely noticeable compared to the shotgun he had just used. After he finished firing, the navi waited to see the results of his attack.

[spoiler=Turn Summary]Actions:

((Is it alright if I turn splice?))

Tearing into the Bunny, Musou made quick work of his temporary shield, causing the other Bunny to look on in horror. It fired an electrical ring at Musou once his cover was shredded, stunning him once again. (10x2Metal, Stun) The Bunny also received some of its damage back at it, courtesy of Delta's buster shot.

Delta began the rush towards the remaining virus when he saw that the barrage of attacks had only deleted one, as his armor worked to repair itself some more. Leaping to avoid any attacks that might be used to try and stop him, he activated a subroutine, causing a flurry of data to swirl around his hand, coalescing into a sword. As he reached the bunny, he brought the weapon down in a powerful slash, attempting to finish the battle.

Musou gave a thumbs-up to Delta as he collected his share of the spoils. He says "That was pretty fun. You tore em up!" He thinks for a moment and looks at the chip data and zenni. Finally he seems to have reached a decision and sends it back to his PET.

He is silent for a moment as he thinks, seems like something spoiled his mood or hes finally done running. He looks over at Delta, not really knowing how to begin but he says "Er.. Mind if I ask you two something?"

Delta wasted no time in collecting his spoils. Sorting through the data, he chuckles, saying, "We've got another zapring." With that, he sends the data back to his PET.

When Musou asks Delta looks towards him and says, "Sure. What do you want to know?" He keeps looking at the other navi as he waits for a reply.

"Do you guys.. You and your partner, I mean. Operator, whatever, do you guys argue and fight and stuff?" Musou asks.

He fidgits a bit while he waits, wondering if hes the only one with a bullheaded operator. Shouldn't someone just buy a navi matching their personality?
