There and Back again..wait, what?!?

Lucia found herself back upon an all too familiar network as she passed through the network transport portal. Starting to glance around before letting out a soft pout, "Master, why am I back here again? I thought you were going to go bring back Arty!"

"We just need to work through a few things to bring him back. We're here to give Artio time to recover. You'll see, just have some fun, I'll let you know when it's time for him to return."

Lucia soon got over her pout and nods softly, starting to skip along the panels to get a look around. "Alright Master!"

[Requesting Battle 1]
As soon as Lucia walked a short way into the network, she stumbled upon a small encampment of viruses, ready to take on an unsuspecting passerby unawares, and possibly delete them. A futile effort, but one doubted if viruses even thought of the concept.

Lucia came to a stop after catching sight of the somewhat surprising group of towered guards, still she seemed to take on more of a pout about them being on her path than anything else. "Master, how long will Arty take to recover? I miss him!"

"Patients Lucia, giving him time to recover isn't the only reason we're here. So do take things seriously, every virus can be a challenge. But these should suffice." With a quiet click two chips came down, one after the other to the seemingly cranky navi.

Taking a soft step forward the navi stopped long enough to let herself light ablaze in brilliant glow, giving her some minor protection from what lay ahead. Though the process itself was short, the flames did not dissipate, instead they started to slowly seep into a small, compact orb of fire between her hands.

Turning her sights upon the center of that mass of turrets she gave a loud clap of hands, crushing the ball between them before giving a soft, "Ha!!" and throwing her arms out in a spread. Meaningless perhaps, save shortly after a glowing ring soon appeared at the feet of the encampment, their only warning as the erupting inferno billowed forth in massive burning tower, burning anything unfortunate enough to be caught inside.

If navi's strike was not two, second chip came down. As navi gripped the tails of twin arrows, pulling them to full draw to take aim at anything her first strike may have missed. Sending those twin spiked bolts sailing.

With strike sent the navi turned her gaze upon the viruses, having never faced them she wanted to be prepared to move should her attacks fail her.

Starting off with a well-placed BurnSquare, Lucia decimated two-thirds of her opposition, and the TwinFang later only served for overkill. There wasn't really any chance for retaliation, but it was a nice thought.

Lucia gave herself a soft whistle as her attacks toasted and spiked her enemies to nothing but digital dust. That and the nice rewards that they left behind anyway.

Sending the data to her Pet she looked skywards, "Is he ready yet Master?"

"Almost, just a little longer Lucia, patients, go ahead and keep playing."

With another huffed pout, navi kicked at the lost data of the fallen Gunners before starting to continue on her journey.

[Requesting Battle 2]
When Lucia made her way further through the SciLab network as she waited for her Artio to recover, she happened upon a main branch road going through the area, and decided to follow it. Of course, this kind of place was a prime area for viruses to start up their enterprising attempts at ambushing Navis. Lucia happened upon a strange virus, though, one that looked like a miniature yellowish planet, floating above the glowing road. It was even being orbited by a few Ratton viruses, who were happy to see something to try and kill for once.

Lucia came to a stop on her newly discovered path, mostly trying to learn just where the road was going. But there before her was a very strange set of viruses. "Are those.. viruses floating around the ball?"

"Strange, take advantage of it, strike them all, I'll send what you need, even let you play with a new chip we just acquired."

"Yes Master!" the fiery navi chimed as the first chip beamed itself down into her quiver and was quickly pulled and drawn back in her bow. Shifting in stance the navi watched the orbiting virii, biding her time to wait for the perfect moment. As the three rats circled around behind and left the orb exposed, arrow was loosed. Sending the spark ball tipped bolt sailing towards the yellow planet. With some luck, her arrow would strike home, and the resulting blast would spear the rats with bolts of electricity as well.

Regardless of how well the first attack went, navi rose as she encircled herself in flames. It took but a breath for the fires to shield the navi, only to part and spread down to her hands, holding there to leave her hands burning. She took a moment to realize what had happened, but all to soon a grin came over her face as she turned her sights upon the enemy again. Bracing back she gave a sudden thrust of clenched fist, the flames bursting forth. Erupting in brilliant fire jab towards one of the rats, second of her one two combo was sent soon after towards the planetoid virus, her flaming fists sailing over the panels.

To really make sure things were finished navi drew up two more arrows from her quiver. Giving slight grin as the twin spike tipped arrows were notched and loosed upon her enemies. Giving no mercy to the creatures.

((Aiming attacks at "survivors" is somewhat discouraged; you can usually just aim at any specific virus and if it's gone by the time the attack goes the mod will probably redirect it for you. Unless they're a jerk.))

Taking careful aim, Lucia took advantage of the strange situation by loosing an electric arrow at the BigBang. The ensuing spread of electricity caught the virus itself and one of the orbiting Rattys, deleting the latter virus. She followed it up by wreathing herself in a flaming shield. Her hands remained alight, however. Taking this to be a good thing, Lucia directed a swift jab toward one of the orbiting Rattys, deleting it instantly. The second jab was too much for the BigBang, causing it to glow brightly for a moment and collapse immediately after. Due to the virus's gravitational effect coming to an end, the final Ratty was released and scurried away, launching a quick ground-based missile as it did. Since she was in the middle of aiming, the attack managed to land a moment after she finished the virus with more arrows.

Thankfully, the barrier Lucia had erected only moments before managed to protect her from the sizable explosion.

[My bad then, I've seen others *cough FERA cough* do so, figured I'd try. Lesson learned.]

She was more then surprised at the sudden blast that tore through her barrier, glad she'd set one up. "Wow.. guess it was stronger then I was expecting.. Oh well." Navi gave a soft roll of her shoulders before stepping over to gather her rewards and sent them up to her operator. "Master, is Arty better yet? I sort of like it here, I guess."

"We can go and check up on him now if you'd like, his systems say he's back to normal. Come, we'll get you a few upgrades as well, should get you both feeling better."

Lucia brightened as her form found itself engulfed in flames once more, barely managing the chirped, "Yes Master!" before she flared off into the network sky.
