Carbonated Squid Soda!?

Cala appeared in a beam of light, and looked around the place. Viruses in a soda machine? That sounds rather silly. I'm sure that if any viruses did manage to get here, whoever takes care of the machines had probably taken them out already. She thought, stretching her arms before she started to explore the place.

((Battle 1))
The soda machine's network was rather small, but it was kind of amusing to see the design. Someone had clearly had too much time on their hands and a bit of an odd sense of humor, as Cala saw that the road she was walking on was a chute that had a noisy stream of soda bubbling through it. In front of her, also on the road, floated some Boomers that were apparently waiting for someone to come through. Something to note was that a shiny green data crystal was also sitting behind the Boomers!

"..."

Cala couldn't really say anything about the scene she saw, especially after her first thoughts on the network. Three viruses, in a soda machine. It took her a bit to comprise her thoughts,

A green crystal... could that be what I think it is? The navi asked herself, noting the green object behind the three viruses. If it was, she couldn't risk damaging it. And since they were behind the viruses that ruled out her spread chips. Best way might be trough the objects... even though they won't take them all out right away, it should weaken them enough for me to finishing them off with that chip.

"Liliana, could I have that new chip please?" Cala asked, shifting her body a bit. "Oh, and the needler and trainarrow as well." Cala decided to add. If the plan goes as it does in her mind, all that would be left would be some minor cleanup.

"Those three? Alright." Liliana responded, taking out the three chips and slotting them in. Cala activated the first chip, the lock on, and what appeared to be a mixture of a satellite and a gatling gun appeared by her side, floating in the air. The solar panels rotated a bit.

The satellite took to the air, moving over the boomers and pointed downwards. The solar panels turned to the parallel to the ground, as the barrel of the object's gun slowly started to spin. The rotation sped up quite a bit when the object started to attack, a hail of bullets rained down at one of the boombers.

To Cala's other side, the needler that served her well in Yoka appeared. The object looked towards the boomers, and then rushed forward with the intent to ram.

The trainarrow was the last chip to activate, and started to effect Cala's buster. It would take time for it to finish whatever it was doing to the buster, but that was fine with Cala. She could take a few hits, especially since she thinks she won't be in here for too long, and since it looked like the boomers were guarding the data she didn't think they would go destroy it.

And hopefully she was right on that part.

Summoning up some attackers to aid her in battle, Cala threw out her cards, and got to work. The Lock-On satellite quickly leapt up into the air, and rained down some bullet hell on the Boomer it targeted. Unfortunately, it escaped with a sliver of its health remaining. The Needler bypassed the entire method of manual shooting and just rammed into one of them, instantly deleting it. The Boomers released their boomerangs, with one of them hitting, and the other whizzing over Cala's head. (15)

The Lock on missed with a single shot, but it didn't care at all. The barrel started to spin once more, as it's aim adjusted to the other boomer since it didn't care the the other one still lived. The object fired down another rain of bullets upon the viruses below.

Good, things are going well. Cala thought, the trainarrow finished with her buster. The amount that they hurt her by isn't anything serious, and while the one survived, it was weakened quite a bit. Her harpoongun materialized by her, a shimmering blue harpoon already loaded. She grabbed it and begun to make her next move, moving along the ground to the boomer's flank. She couldn't take them out when they had their boomeranges from the front, so the best bet is to get them from the side. She aimed her gun at the first Boomer her object had injured, and fired the projectile. The harpoon soared trough the air towards the virus, an identical one appearing in the gun during it's trip. She adjusted her aim towards the other boomer, and fired her second harpoon at the virus, hoping to end the battle and take the GMD for herself.

Stuff gets shot up and dies. However, as the last Boomer fell, the mystery data began to beep mysteriously, and suddenly transformed into a green crystallized golem! It roared out through the network, and summoned two more viruses to its aid. The call was answered by two Champu, which quickly scurried up to the golem's sides.

Cala was victorious, her object vanishing after the last virus was destroyed. She was about to collect the data, and crack open that wonderful, lovely GMD. But then something weird happened. The green crystal started beeping....and then turned into something completely different. Where the GMD once was, there was now a golem, probably made from emeralds or some kind of green crystal.

"Well, that's just great." Cala said, moments before the giant green golem letting out it's roar. More viruses joined the fray, a couple of champus. "Trying to get control of the board I see. Well, lets see who can achieve it first! Liliana, send me the objects and the bubbler." Cala said, readying herself to attack.

"Looks like we wern't lucky." Liliana said, swapping out the trainarrow1 for the bubbler. "Well, at least it looks like everything got reset, so you shouldn't be in too much trouble. Anyway, try to take them out fast, we might get enough from this for those upgrades." Liliana told her navi, slotting in the three chips.

The Lockon was summoned once more, but instead of taking to the skies it stayed on the ground. The solar panels rotated some, as the satellite's body suddenly was covered in some kind of coral casing. The the gun's barrels started to spin, and when it was fast enough it fired a barrage of bullets at the green giant.

The needler was the next to appear, and simply fired a volley of needlers at the foes.

A blue harpoon appeared in the grip of Cala's tentacles, one much like the ones she had fired earlier. She loaded the projectile into her gun, and aimed at the Champu. She fired her weapon at the viruses, the blue harpoon flying trough the air as the needler moved out, positioning itself between Cala and the viruses. Now to see what all that thing can do. Cala told herself mentally, observing the golem. The two viruses are probably melee, much like the swordies she had encounter in Yoka. The golem itself was a mystery though, and could very well beable to one shot her objects.

Summoning her previous offensive objects to her aid, Cala got to work on bringing down the viruses and rogue data. The Lock-On satellite fired a volley of attacks at the golem, but it was surprisingly nimble, and avoided a fair bunch of the attacks. A Needler was summoned next, which fired a few needles at the enemies. The Champu got hit by a couple, and teleported up to Cala for a counterattack. Sadly, their efforts were repealed by a blue harpoon, which deleted them immediately. The golem then ripped out a chunk of its body, and lobbed it at Cala. Fortunately, the slow nature of the attack allowed her to simply watch the chunk fly by her.

"Hm~ It looks like the golem's mad now~" Cala teased, not even budging when the golem's attack flew right by her. She took note of how the golem was a bit on the speedy side, making the being agro most likely. "I don't believe it can avoid everything we throw at it. Liliana, send the shotgun and trainarrow." Cala informed her netop, moving to the lockon and grabbing it with her tentacles. She hoisted herself onto the object, grabbing onto the thing's solar panels and making sure not to touch the barrel as it started to spin. The objected fired another round of shots at the golem while Cala was finishing getting on, and then finally took to the skies. Cala held on with her tentacles, keeping hold of her harpoongun with both hands.

"Alright, I'm going to have the rageclaw at the ready incase you don't finish that thing soon." Liliana informed her navi, slotting in the three chips. From Liliana's point of view, this looked like it was a 3 against 1, something that should be over quickly. Although it may take a bit more if they can't hit the thing, since it was faster then it's size let on.

Cala made sure to have at least one tentacle free, just for when the harpoon materialized in it. She loaded it into her gun and aimed down at her opponent. "Lets see if you can dodge this." Cala said, firing her harpoon at the monster.

The needler stayed on the ground, unable to move from it's position really. It fired more needles at the green being, and just stayed there as Cala activated her next chip, the trainarrow1. The chip started to slowly effect her buster, changing various values and graphical data for it.

The golem continued to dance about the Lock-On's fire, but that wasn't going around for long, as a few more shots hit it from the satellite's accurate fire. Angered by this, it flung another chunk of data towards Cala, and actually hit paydirt this time! (20) Unfortunately, it was retaliated to with a Shotgun harpoon and some Needler fire, which did quite a bit more now.

Cala's body was pushed back a little when she got hit by the attack. Cala herself just took it with ease, her face not changing after receiving it. "Oh look you managed to get an attack in~" Cala teased, repositioning her body after getting hit in the shoulder by... whatever the thing threw. Of course, that might be the only one you get in. She thought as the Trainarrow finished its configurations, and a blue, shimmering harpoon appeared in the gun's barrel. "Let's see...." Cala said softly, looking down at her opponent.

The Lockon's gun started to rotate one more, as Cala took aim with her shimmering blue harpoon. The needler kept it facing towards the Fakedata. "Took control early game, weakened mid game..." Cala said loud enough that the face data could probably hear her, the rotation of the Lockon's weapon increasing.

"...And now to finish in the late game."

The needler, Lockon, and Cala herself all started to fire upon their opponent at about the same time. The Lockon fired a stream of bullets from above, while the needler fired more needlers at the enemy. The Navi herself fired harpoons at it, a new one appearing in her gun after each shot. After her third shot, no more harpoons appeared, and the rotation of the lockon's weapon started to decreases.

Forced under a heavy barrage of attacks, the golem finally succumbed to destruction, and released its reward.

The lockon lowered itself to the ground, allowing the navi riding it to dismount before it vanished. "Oh, some chip data, and a sizable sum of zenny." Cala commented, gathering up the rewards from the battle. She also looked more at the stream of soda under her. "I wonder... what it would feel like swimming in that..." The navi said, lowering herself closer to the ground, bending over a little as well to get a better look. She was thinking about following this to where it might lead... when she head something coming from her op's end. Although, she could quite hear what it was. "...I think I should jack out and see what is going on on Liliana's end." The navi said, before vanishing in a beam of light.
