Proving grounds

Heads for the last cactus virus in a full sprint, claws held forward to shield herself as she darts from side to side, Leila meanwhile slotting in another chip.

"Here, this should help keep it busy until you get in range" Leila said as the cannon chip data was transferred. Mekka nodded as she raised her gun arm while the cannon formed, the enlarged barrel snapping together while she made another sharp turn to try and throw the cacty off target. Once she got in a little closer she opened fire, knowing that the cannon had some kick to it as did Leila, hoping it would knock the cactus off balance at least for long enough for the small navi to get in close and attempt to land the finishing blow. She leapt forward immediately after letting loose the cannon round, drawing her claws back for her strike. As she came down on the virus she swung forward viciously, aiming to simply tear the remaining enemy apart, she had to make sure she won, failure was not an option, and for now at least it seemed victory was within easy reach.

Actions:
1. Dodge
2. Use Cannon chip on CactyB (40dmg/knockback)
3. Use Rageclaw chip on CactyB (40dmg/slashing)
Mekka barely manages to evade with a sharp turn as the Cacty turns to attack her in survival mode. Turning to attack, Mekka fires the Cannon, and lunges at the Cacty. The Cacty shrieks in horror as Mekka brings down the bear claws, cleaving it in half and finishing the battle.

Battle Victory!

The little robot navi stood triumphantly as the last virus was deleted, retracting the claws and looking around,

"I didn't think virus busting would be this much fun" Mekka exclaimed as she continued to wander onward. Leila snickered softly as she watched the energetic little navi and get herself settled in her computer chair a little more comfortably,

"Well let's keep going then."

((Requesting battle 3))
Mekka's wanderings soon took her to a slightly less than good condition part of the net, with cracks running rampant in one section. Near that section, a trio of electrical insects turned to regard Mekka warily. They didn't look happy.

Well, not many viruses can show real emotion, but we can probably assume they weren't happy. Moving on...

MagneakerA: 70HP
MagneakerB: 70HP
MagneakerC: 70HP

Terrain: 80% Normal, 20% Cracked

Mekka: 100HP

Battle 3 Start!
Mekka blinked as she looked over at the trio of mechanical grasshoppers, sizing them up while Leila thumbed through the manual for the PET. She then looked up and nodded a little,

"I think we're in luck Mekka, they're electric type viruses, and your special attacks should be more effective against them, looks like the ground is in rough shape too, mind your step" she informed her navi. Mekka nodded as she started to move in, keeping a close eye on these new enemies, she didn't want to get caught off guard by an attack she didn't see coming. The small navi then extended her sword and picked up some speed as she noted the movements of the grasshoppers,

"Alright, load me up with that shotgun thing, there's only three of them, with any luck I'll be able to drop 'em quick." Leila nodded and slotted in the powerful gun chip, Mekka's own repeater cannon growing significantly in size once again as the chip loaded. The little robot navi rapidly closed the gap between herself and the trio of viruses, staying clear of damaged panels as she ducked and weaved while her blade began to glow.

"Watch out for their attacks," cautioned Leila "I've read some electrical attacks can stun you as well." Mekka nodded as she kept a sharp eye out for an attack from the viruses, she stepped in quickly, her blade flashing with a deep green hue as she let loose a powerful, lightning fast strike causing a bright green arc to appear before her. Hopefully she'd just landed a solid blow on the first of the three, and carried her speed as she circled around it, levelling her shotgun at the other two keeping things nice and tight where her speed would give her the advantage, or at least that was the plan. Leila watched intently as her navi was stalled for but a moment by the kick of the powerful weapon on her arm, a small spit of flame swirling out of the barrel as Mekka opened fire upon the viruses. She didn't stay still for long though, darting back and forth between the electric viruses, using one as cover from another as she did her best to present as small a target as possible.

Actions:
1. Dodge
2. Use Swift cutter on MagneakerA (20dmg/wood)
3. Use Shotgun chip on MagneakerB/MagneakerC (50dmg)
((*A little less conversation a little more bumpin' please*))
Mekka took it to the Magneakers, slicing the one wing off of the left-most one and causing a burst of sparks to erupt from its hide. As it gave a shrill hum of displeasure, Mekka managed to avoid its counter attack and land a hit on the third with her shotgun. Unfortunately, she wasn't as lucky with her avoidance this time and felt the effects of the elec virus's stunning power firsthand. A magnetized bomb shot out too quickly for her to dodge and paralyzed her in place. As she attempted to recover, the virus charged into her, knocking her onto her back and then sliding to a stop just behind her. Mekka could hear the eerie clacking of its feet behind her as it prepared another attack. She noticed that the ground underneath its feet looked a little unstable as it crumbled under the stead virus's steady trot.

MagneakerA: 30HP
MagneakerB: 70HP
MagneakerC: 20HP (on cracked)

Terrain: 80% Normal, 20% Cracked

Mekka: 70HP
Mekka's vision blurred for a moment as the electric bomb connected, hitting the ground with a heavy metallic thud after the attack. Leila leant forward as she watched,

"Are you alright Mekka?" she asked with a definite note of concern in her voice.

"Gneh, I'll be fine it's just a scratch" the naiv replied, then blinked as she heard the clacking, looking back to the Magneaker that had just attacked her. It didn't sound quite right and she soon realized what the grasshopper was standing on. She quickly sprang to her feet, she'd have to act fast if her plan was going to work.

"Leila, I'll need the claws again, hurry!" Mekka instructed as she closed in on the only undamaged virus. Leila nodded mutely as she quickly slotted in the chip, watching the fight more closely now hoping to let Mekka know of any attacks that might blindside her. The single slot for Mekka's sword split into three as the chip loaded, and with the sound of metal gliding over metal the claws extended. Moving as quickly as possible she lunged for the virus, raking her claws along the ground to try and catch its underside. Summoning all the strength she could she attempted to heave the electric grasshopper into the air, trying to bring it high over her head before slamming it down on top of the Magneaker still scuttling across the broken ground. With any luck she hoped to crash the first grasshopper right through the heavily damaged virus and the constantly weakening ground beneath its feet. She keeps one eye on the third Magneaker as well, not wanting to get stunned twice in a row, ready to get herself clear at a moment's notice. It was time to tend to her own wounds as well as she started up the regenerator on her back, letting it rain the healing orbs over her while she kept an eye on the viruses.

Actions
1. Use Rageclaw chip on MagneakerB/MagneakerC (20dmg/impacting)
2. Dodge
3. Use Regenerator (Heal 40hp)
Two Magneakers go WHOMP as they get bashed together into one delicious grasshopper sandwich. One gets deleted, while the other falls into the cracked floor to fall into pain. The other Magneaker tries to hit Mekka, but her dodging enabled her to move out of the way quickly.

MagneakerA: 30HP
MagneakerB: 50HP (falling)
MagneakerC: deleted

Terrain: 80% Normal, 15% Cracked, 5% Broken

Mekka: 100HP
"Ha! Take that you stupid bugs" said Mekka with a grin as she watched one end up deleted and another in the hole, she then looked back at the remaining virus that was mobile and eyed it dangerously.

"You're next ya ugly volt sucker" Mekka cried as she rushed in for the attack, the trio of wicked claws flashing in the light while she kept her eyes on the grasshopper. The claws sparked as they ran against the ground, the small navi making sure not to get caught in the same pit she just tossed a virus in. In an arc of bright blue and a shower of sparks she attempted to throw a powerful uppercut at the Magneaker, hopping to send it flying towards the pit where the other was still trying to climb out. If she could get them both in the hole in the ground it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel.

"Hey Mekka, see if you can block 'em in with this" said Leila as she slotted in a Guard chip, the large shield appearing on Mekka's back. The navi blinked then gave a cocky grin as she unclipped the shield from her back, quickly making her way over to the pit where hopefully both of the bugs where trying to scramble out and covering the hole as best she could with the shield.

"Let's see you find a way through this then" Mekka jeered as she looked down into the pit, making sure to keep her small frame behind the huge shield while she kept an eye out, just in case that second bug didn't make it in....

Actions:
1. Use Rageclaw chip on MagneakerA/MagneakerB (20dmg/impacting)
2. Equip Guard chip to block pit
3. Dodge
Mekka quickly did a quick uppercut towards the still-aboveground grasshopper, sending it whirling towards the hole. A metallic knock sound could be heard as they were knocked together. There was a scuffle before one of the Magneakers fired a bomb upwards, only to be blocked by the Navi's large shield, reflecting the electrical attack back at them.

After a while, from the silence, it could be deduced that her enemies were dead.

MagneakerA: deleted
MagneakerB: deleted

"Alright we did it!" Mekka cheered, doing a little victory dance as her sword returned to normal. Leila snickered softly as she sat back in her chair,

"So do you want to keep going?" She asked her ecstatic navi.

"I don't even have a scratch on me, I can take whatever comes next" Mekka replied confidently as she marched off towards the next challenge.

"Alright but just don't overdo it" said her netop with a soft smile, watching the navi go.

((requesting battle 4))
Mekka went forward to find that the floor put out a clacking sound when she walked on it. Looking at the floor, it seemed to be made of metal. No surprise, metal and electricity went well in Electown's electrically themed network. Moving further, she found some more adversaries to spar with, a floating blue manta ray, along with a few yellow shock-haired viruses...

Lark: 100HP
BillyA: 50HP
BillyB: 50HP
BillyC: 50HP

Terrain: 100% Metal

Mekka: 100HP

-BATTLE FOUR, FIGHT!!-
Mekka blinked as she could hear her metallic feet start to clank against the ground, tapping her foot on the metal plating,

"Huh, that's weird." Valis looked equally perplexed for a moment as she looked at the new field, then started looking a few things up while Mekka continued along.

"Better be careful Mekka, it says metal panels enhance electric attacks, and there are a lot of electric viruses in this part of the net." Mekka nodded then perked up as she spied a group of viruses ahead, unsheathing her blade as she noticed that at least three of them had a definite electrical motif going on.

"Of course...." the navi sighed as she took up a battle stance, then paused for a moment as she realized something. "Hey Valis....that electric attack boost, that goes both ways doesn't it?"

"Yea it should, but why....oh...OH! Alright just one second" Valis replied before slotting in a pair of battle chips. The little robonavi's sword retracted, a large shield spawning on her back which she brandished in her left arm, holding it in front of her as she started to advance. She then held her right arm behind her back as the bottom of her backpack opened up, depositing the spherical explosive into it as she broke into a full sprint, trying to close the gap between herself and the viruses as quickly as she could.

"Those little electric ball things have pretty slow attacks according to this guide, you should be able to outrun them, but I can't find that manta ray thing, watch out for that thing for now" Valis instructed as Mekka nodded, keeping her speed up as she moved in for her final approach. If she managed to keep her shield she got in close, really close.

"Suck on this ya sparky little cue balls!" Mekka cried as she more or less slam dunked the magbomb on the lead virus. She stood her ground with her shield in front, hoping to reflect even more of the amplified electric discharge back at the viruses as she held fast.

Actions:
1. Equip Guard chip
2. Dodge
3. Use Magbomb1 on BillyA (30dmg/Blast2/Stun)
Starting off, Mekka equipped a Guard chip and jumped front and center. Slamming down the MagBomb, the ensuing blast hit her target, one more, which was the now-dead Lark, and her guard, which reflected it off to another Billy. The Billy fired their balls of shock towards Mekka, and hit, stunning her for a bit. (15x2Metal)

Lark: DELETED
BillyA: DELETED
BillyB: 50HP
BillyC: 20HP

Terrain: 100% Metal

Mekka: 70HP (Stun! -1 Action)
Mekka's charge was successful in wiping out at least two of the viruses and heavily damaging a third, not bad for a single attack. Unfortunately she wasn't able to avoid the counter attack and winced as her servos seized up with electric shock,

"GAH! Stupid....shock ball...."

"Is everything okay Mekka?" Valis asked as she watched the battle, feeling relieved as she saw Mekka shake of the stun of the electric attack.

"I'll be alright, I just need a little more firepower for these guys" Mekka said as she started to activate her regenerator, one little shock wasn't going to take the fight out of her. Valis quickly slotted in the next chip for her navi, this netbattling thing was quickly becoming more exciting, but she did hope that it wasn't too hard on her navi, even though she could regenerate herself. Mekka quickly repositioned herself, drawing in close again as a long, large bore barrel extended from atop her right arm, doing what she could to line up the two remaining viruses. The healing orbs of energy gently rained down over her lightly damaged body as she brought her weapon to bare on the only undamaged virus, it wasn't gonna stay that way for long if she had anything to do with it. The little navi braced as she opened fire at near point blank range thinking she had a good chance at getting at least one of the viruses out of the way, and hoping luck was on her side for the other.

Actions:
1. Stunned
2. Use Regenerator ability (+40hp)
3. Use Shotgun chip on BillyB (50dmg)
Regenerating the damage done by the Billy, Mekka immediately shot the virus, up close and personal. The buckshot round immediately dispatched the Billy, but the other managed to get away and dodge from Mekka's firearm. Looks like this one won't go down without a fight.

Lark: DELETED
BillyA: DELETED
BillyB: DELETED
BillyC: 20HP

Terrain: 100% Metal

Mekka: 100HP
Mekka eyed the last virus on the field, keeping on her toes as she extended her blade, watching the little sparkball closely. Valis started to relax as both she and Mekka knew the fight was over, but the navi knew better than to take it for granted. She closed in on the Billy as quickly as she could, making a quick feint to the left before she stepped into her attack. The navi's blade flashed a low green hue and in the blink of an eye she executed her strike, a blazing green appearing in the air before her with the intention of splitting the final target clean in two. She followed through with her swing and continued around the virus, withdrawing as quickly as she had moved in, her eyes fixed on the Billy should her attack have missed it's mark.

Actions:
1. Dodge
2. Use Swift Cutter on BillyC (20dmg/wood)
3. Dodge
The Billy dies as it fires its last ball of energy, which was easily dodged by the android Navi, courtesy of a split in half by her cutter.

Lark: DELETED
BillyA: DELETED
BillyB: DELETED
BillyC: DELETED

Terrain: 100% Metal

Mekka: 100HP

-BATTLE FOUR, VICTORY!!-

Rewards: 360z
Mekka struck a victory pose while the data of the last virus scattered,

"Woo! I'm unstoppable!" Leila snickered softly to herself while she watched getting settled in and relaxing. The little navi then looked back to her operator excitedly

"Do we have time for one more? I'm starting to get really good at this!" Leila smiled and gave a soft nod while she got the battle chips lined up on her desk,

"I suppose, but we probably shouldn't go for too much longer, It's still your first time out." Mekka then rushed off in search of another battle,

"I'll be fine, this stuff is easy."

((Requesting battle 5))
