Firestarting Shenanigans

As the data remnants of the dead bunny virus scattered to the winds, Honoo found herself breathing rather heavily as she pulled her gauntlet up, giving it a quick check as it cooled down from it's attack. When she caught her breath, she removed her goggles, dust from the fire's smoke obviously leaving a mark on her face as two goggle patches at her eyes remained clean. A window popped up in front of her with Kiri's calm, smiling face.

"Oh dear, you seem to have taken quite a bit of damage..." Kiri said, her smile suddenly fading away as a sense of worry replaced it. Honoo simply shook her face and waved her hand. "Meh, it's fine. I can handle some damage." She said. A goofy grin beaming from her face as she tried to hide the bruise from the cannon which struck her head.

"Well, one last fight. Then we're retreating before you get yourself seriously injured." Kiri said, her smile returning.

((Battle 4, gooooo.))

Honoo would soon find herself coming upon a peculiar game a group of viruses seemed to have come up with. Ahead was a large metal circle, with three different color sets of space within. It seems a spinning virus would start to twirl about, as a rat and two Metools picked one of the two types of terrain, once the panel stopped on a color, the winners hopped about while the rat seemed upset it having picked the wrong color. Though before the next round could begin, they spotted the navi, and quickly decided to attack!

—Battle 3, Start!—

Honoo's interruption seemed to have sent the viruses into an alerted state, as they quickly moved into position to engage her. So much for viral R&R. she mused to herself as she prepared her gauntlets for combat. A soft humming, followed by a hard "Tchunk" sound replied as the weapon primed itself to prepare for combat. Honoo ran an immediate analysis of her targets. Two metools fought from earlier, and one rat-like virus she hadn't seen before yet. Rather than finding out the capabilities of the rat, she decided to immediately take it out before it could do anything else. However, there was also the issue of the strange, double sided cube in the field.

That thing wasn't very clear on it's purpose, and the viruses had been simply using it as a reference point, so she opted to ignore it for now. Chipdata from Kiri was inserted into the PET as Honoo's gauntlets responded with a confirmation chirp. With a light tap, she activated the chipdata, sending her into close range with the ratty, her right gauntlet flaring with burning fire as she brought her fist smashing into the ratty's face. She twisted her body after the first attack, and set her eyes on the second target, one of the metools. A quick tap on her feet like earlier flung herself into close proximity with the metool. And a looming shadow which was her right arm's metal fist that glowed with a bright flame descended upon the unfortunate metool, but she wasn't done yet.

She brought her free arm, still smoking from the first hit, up as a cannon chip inserted the data into her cannon. She aimed the weapon at the last remaining metool, as the weapon's hum played a crescendo, the muzzle of the weapon glowing a bright yellow, before a cannon shell was sent flying out of it, aimed at the metool.

SUMMARY:
1. Firehit1 - Ratty - 60 dmg
2. Firehit1 - MetoolA - 60dmg
3. Cannon - MetoolB - 40dmg

Kicking things off, Honoo went right into offense and in a surprising bout managed to catch both the Ratty and first Metool completely flat footed to knock them out with a fiery fist. Though as she turned that large cannon on the last Metool, its shock caused it to drop down under its helmet, which as that blast was fired, bounced off it harmlessly, giving it the chance to hide out and recover from that sudden shock.

Still ignoring that floating cube seemed to be a bad idea, as it started to light up brightly and sudden shot out a glowing red beam, which struck the navi, dealing a painful shock(-20).

Honoo let out an exasperated grunt as the cannon shell bounced off harmlessly from the metool. And then the cube that she had been ignoring eventually revealed it's purpose, in the form of frickin' laser beams as one slammed into Honoo's side, throwing her to the ground. She immediately recovered from her fall but she noticed that a small part of her suit had been ripped, and her gauntlet was beginning to show signs of wear as the smoke from the firehit cleared.

"Alright. Playtime's over." Honoo growled as she brought her goggles down. Kiri slotted in a rageclaw chip, knowing that Honoo probably wanted to dismember the remaining viruses with her bare hands. The navi simply replied thanks before charging straight for metool. With a glint in her eyes, she brought the claw sweeping down like a golf club, while yelling "FORE!" as she aimed the her swing to send the metool flying towards the cube she had ignored earlier. Kiri immediately followed up her attack by inserting a guard chip.

In an instant, her free gauntlet's plate enlarged itself into a tower shield that covered almost all of her body. She lifted the shield with a slight grunt and planted it facing the cube, as she positioned her feet into a bracing position for the inevitable second barrage of frickin' laser beams from the cube.

SUMMARY:
1. Take Aim
2. FORE! - Rageclaw - MetoolA - Impact - Throw towards DBLCUBE - 10 dmg
3. Guard

The Metool went flying a-ways into the DBLCUBE, comically getting them all a-tumblin' towards the paneling. The cube flipped its active side into the shimmering blue, and recovered part of its damage, along with the Metool's. (+10) (+10) The Metool just sort of flopped around on its helmet, its little feet flailing in the air.

Honoo: 40HP (Guard1 1/1)

As she braced for the impact that never came, she peeked out to discover that the strange, double colored virus had shifted it's stance. Whatever damage that the impact from the thrown metool Honoo had thrown at it had suddenly healed itself, showing little visible signs of damage. So the thing regenerates, does it? Let's fix that. Honoo mused to herself as she lifted her guard upwards. The viruses were probably in a non-aggressive stance, so she took the opportunity to throw in an all out attack.

Kiri had the same exact thoughts. Strike while the iron is hot, and make sure it leaves a permanent mark on your opponent. Honoo immediately charged, closing the distance between her and the metool. The guard disappearing as its operational time expired. No matter, she wouldn't need it anyway for the next blow. Her clawed arm poised to strike, she attacked the Dblcube virus with a powerful sideswipe, followed by a piercing thrust into the virus. She immediately followed up with a small backwards jump, and brought both her gauntlets up front, muzzles pointed at the two viruses.

She thumbed a stud inside her gauntlet, a trigger for the flamethrower, and a massive gout of flame erupted from her weapon, poised to burn the remaining virii alive.

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS:
1. Rageclaw - DblCube - 40 dmg
2. Rageclaw - DblCube - 40 dmg
3. Sig Attack - Fire Blossom - Metool, spread to DBLCube - 40 dmg + splash 2

The first swipe damaged the DBLCUBE and flipped it over to a red side. The act of flipping moved the virus enough to cause the second swipe by Honoo to miss by a hairsbreadth. The red side lit up right as Honoo jumped backward, sending out a crimson beam at the Navi. The beam reflected off her tower shield, searing the virus with its own attack. The action flipped it back to one of its blue sides.

Then Honoo unleashed a stream of liquid fire, melting the remaining Metool as it flailed helplessly upright and severely damaging the DBLCUBE. Which flipped over to a evil-looking red side again.

Honoo: 40HP

Frustrated by the virus's inability to stay dead, Honoo immediately lost her temper and charged the DblCube with reckless abandon, her left Gauntlet raised in fury as she attempted to cave the virus' body frame inwards. She brought her fist into a regular forwards punch into the DblCube...

"Just..."

With the first blow, she continued with a second blow with her Rageclaw, swiping across the DblCube...

"Stay..."

With a feral look in her eyes, and baring her teeth like that of an angered animal, she sent an uppercut with her free gauntlet...

"DEAD!!!

Summary of actions:
1. Normbust - 4 dmg - DblCube
2. Rageclaw - 40 dmg - DblCube
3. Normbust - 4 dmg - DblCube

Falling into an almost animalistic rage, Honoo took to using fist and claw upon the last remaining virus. And while the cube seemed all too resilient against her flurry of fists, the claws were another thing all together, which quickly cut down the virus once and for all.
