Working from Home [Online]

Zetaman dropped into the local network directly from Vita's PC, not having much of a homepage to travel through first. After spending a while in ACDC, the network of Electown was just as different as the suburb was from the downtown sector in the first place. The darker feel of the region made Zetaman feel much more at a home, but with so many electronic stores nearby the number of virii would not only be higher, but also stronger than those of the suburb. Though he might have learned his lesson about picking his fights a little better, that didn't mean he was going to back away from the minor increase in challenge.

[Ready for Battle One!]

And with all those electrical stores, one would naturally expect to find...Fire viruses? Indeed, a trio of Volgear were hanging around for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, upon spotting ZetaMan, they seemed to gain a purpose for being there...

VolgearA: 80 HP
VolgearB: 80 HP
VolgearC: 80 HP

ZetaMan: 120 HP

Terrain: 100% Normal

=====BATTLE ONE, PREPARED. NOW TURN OFF THE OVEN!=====

"Hm, hello guys." Zetaman said, looking to the trio that suddenly came out to challenge him. He sized up his opponents and quickly called back to Vita. "Shockwave and Shotgun." He ordered, quickly getting the first weapon activated as he began to strafe around his opponents. He pounded the ground and caused a wave of energy to rise up, cutting across the battlefield and hopefully splitting up his opponents as well.

The second chip activated and caused his buster to expand, but he waited until the first attack had passed through the ground to make his second move. He launched off a blast of energy so massive that it would be able to strike two targets at once. Pulling his buster back to his side, he skidded to a halt and jumped in the opposite direction to hit the ground running.

Actions
1: Shockwave Battle Chip: VolgearA, VolgearB, VolgearC (40 Damage + Line + Piercing + Ground)
2: Shotgun Battle Chip: VolgearA + VolgearB (50 Damage + Spread 1)
3: Dodge.

Zetaman's first attack hit the first two viruses easily enough, along with the shotgun, deleting them. The last of the three fired a fiery tower towards Zetaman, but it was horrendously slow-moving, allowing Zetaman to watch it burn past him.

VolgearA: DELETED
VolgearB: DELETED
VolgearC: 80 HP

ZetaMan: 120 HP

Terrain: 90% Normal, 10% Broken

Zetaman cocked an eyebrow at the slow pillars of fire. Sure, it wasn't the quickest attack out there, but if he slipped up, something like that could probably burn him to a crisp in no time. "Cannon." He stated, his operator, busy at the computer for other things, reacting quickly with the chips. The navi raised his buster just as it transformed into a larger blaster and he shot off a single powerful burst towards his enemy. Taking no time to let either of them recover, he made his second command. "Zapring."

His buster transformed again as he loaded the chip, forming an electrical construct. He charged the ring of energy on it and solidified his stance before launching the deadly disc. Out of combat ideas for the moment, he kept up his movement around the last enemy. He had seen the attack once already, and would have no trouble placing himself out of harms way before it even posed a risk.

Actions
1: Cannon Battle Chip: VolgearC (40 Damage + Knockback)
2: Zapring1 Battle Chip: VolgearC (40 Electric Damage + 5 Type bonus damage + Stun 1)
3: Dodge

The Volgear wasn't feeling particularly energetic today, and got hit by Zetaman's double attack due to its laziness (and slow movement, for that matter). Jubilations.

"There are some strange new Virii around here." Zetaman commented, pausing and expecting some kind of reaction from Vita. Of course, with his operator busy doing something else, she wasn't paying much attention to anything that wasn't an order. He let out a sigh and continued to head deeper into the local network. "I hope you're working hard!" He called out, annoyed.

"Yeah, doing fine, thanks." Vita replied, her mind obviously elsewhere.

[Ready for Battle Two!]

As Zetaman moved onwards, he found some magnetically charged panels, along with the normal paneling he was getting used to. The magnets seemed to form some sort of ring, and four boxing viruses stood in the ring. They looked at Zetaman and advanced on him, ready for some ass-kicking.

ChampuA: 60HP
ChampuB: 60HP
ChampuC: 60HP
ChampuD: 60HP

Terrain: 80% Normal, 20% Magnetic (Surrounding Area)

ZetaMan.EXE: 120HP

-BATTLE TWO, FIGHT!!-

Zetaman grinned just a bit when he was approached by a team made up from a familiar type of virus. He had fought a few of them before, they liked their close-ranged combat but it was pointless to do something like try to keep them at range. Their teleporting strikes would have thrown him off guard if he hadn't seen them already. "Vita, Shockwave." He told her, stepping forward from the ring onto one of the normal tiles. He activated one of his NaviCust programs and caused a wave of magnetic tiles to form across the battlefield, consuming the design that had made it a ring in the first place.

His opponents no doubt confused not only by the change in battlefield but by the effect it would have on them, he took a couple jumping steps forward and then leaped. In the most showboating way possible, he slammed his fists into the ground and caused the familiar green shockwave of the chip to rise forward and course across the battlefield. Looking up to make sure of the position of his opponents, he kicked to the side to knock himself out of the way of counter attacks. After rolling a little he pulled himself up to kneeling and then standing, keeping on his toes for the next round of attacked.

Actions
1: SetMagnet NaviCust Program
2: Shockwave Battle Chip: ChampuA + Any others (40 Damage + Line + Piercing + Ground)
3: Dodge

Zetaman changed even more of the battlefield into magnetic paneling, surprising the Champus, who flailed their punches around helplessly. Then, Zetaman slammed the ground with a resounding smash, sending a green shockwave that hit their targets quite easily.

ChampuA: 20HP [Magnet]
ChampuB: 20HP [Magnet]
ChampuC: 20HP [Magnet]
ChampuD: 60HP [Magnet]

ZetaMan.EXE: 120HP

"Rageclaw." Zetaman said simply, running towards his enemies as Vita loaded the chip. His off-hand transformed into a massive claw and he grinned, side-stepping around the quartet of boxers and picking the last of the group that had avoided his earlier attack. He swung a mighty backhand with his claw, hoping to slap around the virus so hard he might hit one of the others. Keeping the claw up, he rolled back and began to charge energy in his buster, using the oversized hand to skid himself to a stop.

Aiming like a mortar, he launched up a blast of energy that solidified in the air into three massive spires. They arced downwards towards the virii, hopefully able to discharge their deadly energy to some effect.

Actions
1: RageClaw Battle Chip: ChampuD thrown at ChampuA (20 Damage + Impact)
2: Charging Bolt Towers
3: Bolt Towers Signature Attack: ChampuB, ChampuC, ChampuD (Summons 3 10 HP objects, deal 30 Electric Damage on contact)

ZetaMan began by requesting a chip, then using it to toss a Champu into another...which didn't work very well, as the magnetic panels pulled it down well before it could reach its likeness. However, it was still a nasty bump to that particular one. He then was able to take his time charging his signature attack, all of the Champu still struggling with the magnetic panels. Unfortunately, the Navi's aim was a bit off, as only one Bolt Tower landed close enough to zap its target. Which turned out to not matter as much, as one of the flaming viruses was pushed by its panel well withing range to give it a good zapping. Not very happy about it, the boxer made sure the object paid a grave price for the pain...by boxing it into non-existing.

ChampuA: 20 HP [Magnet]
ChampuB: DELETED
ChampuC: 20 HP [Magnet]
ChampuD: 10 HP [Magnet]

Bolt TowerB: 10 HP
Bolt TowerC: DELETED

Zetaman clicked his tongue in angry. Of course he should have realised that the virus wouldn't fly with the magnetic panels down. He stepped back from the scene a bit in order to get a better look at all three of his opponents, then quickly raised his buster. "Shotgun." He ordered, his buster firing off as soon as the chip loaded, sending a blast of energy at one of the Champus and hitting enough tiles to possibly strike a second one. He turned to the third of them and kept his buster raised, taking close aim at the opponent. "Cannon." He said, his buster expanding as he aimed, finally firing off a large energy projectile towards the virus.

Actions
1: Shotgun Battle Chip: ChampuD + ChampuA (50 Damage + Spread 1)
2: Take Aim at ChampuC with Cannon
3: Cannon Battle Chip: ChampuC (40 Damage + Knockback)

[ 3 Day Bump ]

The viruses were finished off with decent efficiency. As a Champu closed in for one last punch, Zetaman cannoned it back and destroyed it. ZetaMan had no reason to remain angry as his adversaries were vanquished with relative ease and minimal damage to himself.

ChampuA: DELETED
ChampuB: DELETED

-- BATTLE 2 COMPLETE--

ZetaMan gets: 400 z

Zetaman cracked his neck and sighed, as if waiting for something to happen as the battlefield returned to normal. "I got some more Zenny." He commented, waiting for a response. He frowned a bit, then narrowed his eyes as a thought occurred to him. "You'd better keep sending chips on time!" He called, kicking at the tile he was standing on before he walked deeper into the urban network for something to help him blow off steam.

[Ready for Battle Three!]

ZetaMan found himself up against a few more foes in moments.

Over to his left an angry looking bee buzzed loudly. Ahead of him stood three more viruses. Furthest back and in the center was a nice little yellow ball with drill hands and angry looking eyes.

Closer to ZetaMan were the two little white tubes that flapped their wing-like arms happily as they smiled at him. There was one ahead and to the left, and one ahead and to the right. Happy as they appeared, there was little chance that they were't planning on hurting him.

He also found himself on a field made entirely of metal. Good thing there weren't many electric enemies in Electopia to take advantage of that.

Battle 3, Go!

((OOC: Also just a note, you can bump every 24 hours you go without modding. You don't have to wait three days if you don't want to.))

(Bumping daily just seems like a bit much, I trust I'll get modded in good time. Also, excuse the short post, I just spent 4 hours in a dentist's chair.)

Zetaman carefully looked at the opponent around him, taking a few steps back in order to make sure he had a good distance. His buster began to make a slight hum as it built up energy, and he finally pointed it upwards, almost in a feigned surrender, though no such thought was in his eyes. The buster launched off a burst of energy into the sky that split into three spears that curved in the air and dropped back down to the ground onto his targets. His eyes darting from opponent to opponent, he stanced himself so he'd be ready to dodge an incoming attack from any of them.

Actions
1: Charging Bolt Towers
2: Bolt Towers Signature Technique: BillyA, PowieA, PowieB (Summons 3 10 HP spears, deals 30 Electric Damage on contact)
3: Dodge prepared

Zetaman starts off with a bang, as he initiates his Bolt Towers attack, mass slaughtering most of the viruses. Which isn't much, really. The remaining Elebee takes advantage of the situation and tries to sting Zetaman, but to no effect, as the attack is sidestepped.

Battle Summary:

Zetaman grinned as he sidestepped and narrowed his eyes at the last opponent. It wouldn't be too difficult to take on one opponent, particularly on terrain such as this. "ZapRing and Guard." He ordered, taking a moment to throw a rude gesture at the Elebee. He waited for a moment as his opponent had more than enough time to line up another attack. "Vita? Hey!"

"Oh Zed, you should check out some of the BBSes around here. I might be able to find enough work to really deck out this apartment." She said, a response of angry growling answering her as she rolled her eyes at the PET and loaded in some chips.

"About time..." He said, bringing up his bare arm, watching for his foe's movements carefully. The moment he felt it was his last moment, he activated the Guard chip in order to counter any incoming attack. Only a moment later, he raised his buster and fired off a ring of electricity at his opponent.

Actions
1 & 2: Waiting to Counter with - Guard1 Battle Chip: ElebeeA (Reflects up to 60 damage)
3: ZapRing1 Battle Chip: ElebeeA (40 Electric Damage + Stun 1)
