Save the Hospital! Group One <EVENT>

"Fares all decent?" Teethman asked his allies, taking a glance around him as the shield on his arm began to spin back into place as it discharged the electricity it had absorbed in the attack. He was surprised to find what an offensive the enemy had put up, but then again there was no reason he shouldn't have expected it. The Navi could tell his allies had been dealt a less favorable card, however, and he felt it was now his duty to get in on the action to end this. There would only be so much he could do to prevent attacks with his shield: the wisest idea was to get in there and finish it. With a proper offensive, the team could probably quell the remaining forces in a minutes' time, assuming they could stand up to enemy retaliation during that frame.

"All right, Teeth, I'm counting on you to get in there and make this one count. Fighting on a distance gives us a higher chance of letting missed attacks bypass us and hit our allies. Let's take the fight to them, and take control of the action," Hal told his Navi, slotting in chips for Teethman to use. He had to force fire into his words, he knew, as his tightly clenched fist shook from the tired support of his arm rested on the table. "I'm sending you two chips. Take down the remaining Metools now, and leave the rest to your allies."

"I lay onto it," Teethman responded, already shifting his right arm into the tubular shape that signified a coming weapon. The end skin faded to reveal a metal plate from which five nozzles extended. He took aim at one virus and began moving in as the barrel began to rotate, releasing a short spray of fire as the bullets clinked off onto the floor of the Net. Already closing in, Teethman two of the gun tips retract as the remaining three aligned horizontally and extended. Soon, the arm had taken a claw form, and the Navi flexed his arm experimentally as he continued his lunge. "Heading toward you!" he yelled as he dove in for the Metool that had endured his gunfire, attempting to ball his fingers around the edge of the round hardhat. Though the fingers responded mechanically, he couldn't actually get any feeling in them: he had relinquished that without regrets long ago when he accepted his new high-tech form. Still, the intensity in his chest told gave him assurance as he threw a devastating pitch of whatever he had gotten in his clutches toward the injured target.

With his throw accomplished, Teethman's arm began to shift as his rocket-backpack released a burst of jet-fire. His legs had left the ground and he took a striding backstep, attempting to dodge oncoming attacks and get a better view of the action. Were his allies able to clean up, and had they taken care of themselves?

"Fares all decent?" Valkyrie was slowly getting the hang of to the strange figure of speech "Teeth" was using. Anyway, he seems like reliable meatshield for the time being. Lavaman on the other hand... well, there isn't much left anyway. These are just a bunch virii after all, and they are group of... "warriors". Yeah. They are warriors. At least, she certainly is. The blast that the lark fired at her, didn't hurt too much. It did damage the armor, but the protective gear also reduced the damage by quite a lot. All in all, Valkyrie was in a perfect shape for homicide.

- That Lavaguy.. you should help him. If he dies, we loose part of the data we are transmitting, and the mission fails.
- When will you learn that...- She raised the sword to point at her next target, the lark that was lucky enough to land a shot.
- Best defense is offense!

She let out a bone chilling battlecry, charging at the lark to get in range for her sword. However,, while on her way, she got a better idea; instead of striking with the sword, she lashed out with her claws, trying to impale the lark. But she didn't stop here. She thought about how good is that she is not an angel. Is this even possible with wings? She grabbed on to the lark holding it with the massive strength that chip granted her, then activated the jets on her back. The virii was dragged on the ground till the destination, where Valkyrie raised it above her head, and tried to smash the Billy into pieces with it, using all the power of the screwed up cavalry charge.

'Now all that is left is to clean the mess... good that I kept the sword' She swept at the lark, bringing down the sword with a blatant, very unoriginal downwards slash. She was pretty sure that there was nothing left to fear, and turned around to face the remaining virii, that Teethman handled alone so far...

The navis charge the viruses that remain, slashing and throwing the viruses around the arena with blades and claws. Various empowerments flow into their weapons as they assault the lines, the only cannon shots fired tear down the last one. The remaining Cacty attacks, missing horridly.

"Do I have to...?"

"Yes, Lavaman."

"But I don't feel like it."

"Does it look like I care? Use your Rageclaw, if you don't feel like it."

"Hmph."

Lavaman hesitated, then raised the arm with the Rageclaw on it. Two red-hot, glowing arms sprang from the ground and attempted to strangle the poor CactyB to the ground.

"Happy?"

"No."

"Too bad."

(Krak, fire deals double to Cacty. I dunno what you have wanted us to do with it, but you have killed it regardless XD)

The battle is over, for the most part. There is only one virii left, but it is about to catch fire from Lavamans' attack. Valkyrie was satisfied with herself. He bashed a lot of skulls (or whatever the virii have... ) and didn't even receive more than mere scratches. Teeth was also in good shape, and he was a useful companion. Lavaman.... while he did great deal of damage, he seems to be more of a rookie than she originally thought. Caught up in the battle, he didn't stop fighting a foe that was already done for, wasting precious moments. He also didn't take advantage of his elemental property, and received some many hits. Well, he fought valiantly and thats all what counts, and he is needed for the mission. So...

- Sieg, send me the recov.

She was feeling a surge of energy, as the chip data loaded into her RAM. It was tempting to take it for herself, but... She placed her hand on the shoulder of Lavaman and channeled the healing power of the chip into her ally.

- Don't get this wrong, I only need you to finish this. Learn to take care of yourself.

The shame of getting helped by someone should be enough punishment for his hasty actions. For now at least. Valkyrie vowed to search for him personally, and kick his cyber ass into tiny bits of data, should he fail.

And that cacty was still moving around... just in case, she readied her blade to finish it off. If Lavamans attack didn't burn him into crisp, that would be an epic fail, but whatever.

Teethman relaxed, allowing his arms to slowly shift back into place. He could see that his allies were already taking care of themselves very nicely, and even seemed to be on the verge of getting along and not going crazy for once. On top of that, only one virus had survived their combined onslaught. The Navi nodded in satisfaction, taking a seat cross-legged on the ground: now he would just stay out of the way until-

"Teeth!" Hal told his Navi. "There's still a virus left, we don't have time to sit around!" the operator raved, blowing his Navi's laid-back approach out of proportion. "Your allies are still up and at it. Get your shield ready to defend them if they need it!"

Teethman sighed, rising to his feet. He knew that the Navis would have no need for defense against one bound virus, and they probably wouldn't even appreciate the extension of the effort of protection... still, Hal had a point. As long as his allies were at it, there was no time for him to rest. The Navi allowed his arms to shift into the familiar wide and square form, preparing himself to jump to a Navi's defense if need be...

Was this trip really necessary?

VICTORY!

Reward: 600z

Clumsily tying the coded cart back onto his armor, which was made harder by the fact he had a sword and a claw to work with, Lavaman walked forwards towards their destination. Rafael's face appeared, and spoke.

"You should've heard the chick. She said you attacked dead things."

"I don't really mind."

"Maybe it would increase our rate of winning when you attack ALIVE things."

"Alive things can be killed after dead things are definitely dead."

"But dead things don't need killing."

"Shut up."

"Do you want me to erase the code for that thing?"

"Just because I'm digital doesn't mean that non-digital things don't have ears. I said shut up."

"I'm not following."

"Ugh!"

Teethman sighed, letting his arms rotate out of their positions. He knew that Hal was harboring good intentions, but there was no point on expending energy on little things like that. He turned toward his allies, seeing that they seemed to have had no trouble deleting the remaining virus. He walked over and scooped up his portion of the reward money: he could tell they were as tired of carrying the packages around as he was, but still he would continue on.

"Well, there's not much to say as of now," Hal admitted, pulling out a sheet of paper and beginning to scribble figures and doodles as he waited. "Remember what we're here for... this is about more than you or me, or the team. This is about the people of the Net we've sworn our service to."

"Correct... correct..." Teethman muttered, picking up his feet and continuing along the trail. "Leave us view him voice that whilst he is lugging this object through the Network," the Navi mumbled under his breath as he walked on.

Good, the rookie finished off the remaining virii. Now she can continue with this assortment. The hospital shouldn't be too far off from their position, and then, she'd be finally free to go, wherever that idiot takes her. Whatever, as long as there are virii like this, standing in her way, she'll be fine. Valkyrie couldn't wait for her next battle... some woman are just insatiable. Still, this was supposed to be a boring delivery mission, and they had two battles already, one of them being an ambush. It was just about time for...

- Something smells fishy...

Ah yes. It was about time for the operator to start bitching.

- This was your response to your coworker asking if you want a soy sandwich yesterday!
- Well duh. It was a very suspicious soy sandwich. What do you think, why did he offer it? Obviously, he wanted to screw with the rookie by giving...
- You are an antisocial freak! And also paranoid.
- Says the mass murderer?
- Fine, you might be right. But I don't care. If something dares to stand in my way, it will end on the tip of my lance.
-Whooooo, scary. To bad if I'd do that, I'd get into trouble
- Sucks to be you.
-My point exactly.
