SINNBAD - A Knight Takes on the Town.

((FYI, you're never forced into a battle. You always need to request it; and if there is more than one person in the thread, you BOTH need to request it to start fighting. Also, since you're not in between battles (you haven't even started battle 1), there shouldn't really be a reason why you would be penalized for shopping.))

[I thought it happened regardless of whether you were between battles or not. Thanks for the clarification.]

The warrior navi stopped within a foot of Sparks, lowering his hand.

"Yes I was the one to place the banner. It was at the command of 'My Lord'."

He stated cryptically before grabbing the standard with his left hand and pulling it from the soft ground. The flag disappeared and the pole shrunk to the size of a cigar. The armored navi then returned it to his belt, putting it into a small pouch. The navi then turned back to Sparks.

"Forgive my ill manners for I did not introduce myself. I am SINNBAD. What is your name?"

"Sparks." The navi replied, still unsure how to handel the situation. "Your lord?" Sparks was confused, obviously not understanding the connection between Lord and Net op.

Joseph started sending the messages again. "Mabey it means his owner, or net operator?"

"Or it could mean some super huge navi/virus thingy in the net." Sparks sent one back.

"Just don't do anything stupid, like fight him. I think he's a friend." Joseph sent one last message.

At that moment there was a chime, coming from SINN's right arm. The knightly navi had been standing slightly sideways this whole time, so Sparks and Joseph did not see his right arm clearly. Now they could see it as SINN brought it across his chest. A Buster held sway on that arm. The large silvery cylinder took up the majority of the forearm.

A view-window, starting as a sliver hovering a half-inch above the center of the Buster and expanding out to either side to encompass half of the Buster's length, formed from nothing. SINN bowed his eyes at the image that appeared inside the window. His voice filled with reverence.

"My Lord."

The view-widow was not double-sided, so it was impossible to see the 'Lord' that the armored navi addressed, from Spark's side. However the voice of a man in his mid-twenties came through. It was a slightly deep voice, but it sounded as if he was either far away or having bad reception.

"Report."

"I have arrived safely and retrieved the marker... There have been no signs of virii My Lord."

The navi looked up at Sparks.

"However there is a navi here by the name of Sir Sparks."

"Oh? Show me."

SINNBAD took his left hand and actually physically touched the view-window, rotating it so the image side pointed away from him and at Sparks. The display showed a ponytail wearing white male in his mid-twenties, wearing a basic white t-shirt. His lower half was not visible. His hair was a dirty blond color. He had light stubble growing across his face, but was otherwise kempt. He did not wear anything over his eyes, such as glasses. His eyes were a blue-gray color, reminiscent of pools of water in an underground spring with the sun hitting it at just the right angle to make it glow. His backdrop was indeterminate. He could be standing in an alley as equally as a train.

The 'Lord' had eye contact with Sparks for a bit before continuing.

"Sir Sparks is it? Do you have an operator?"

He asked.

"Sir? Why do you keep calling me sir?" Sparks asked, clearly not understanding the ways of a knight of old. "Yes, I do have an operator. His name is Joseph. Sparks held up his right hand, palm upward, and a vibrant green light shined, then dispersed, leaving a small screen in which Joseph's face could be seen.

"How do you do." Joseph greeted. "My names Joseph."

"I already told them that..." Sparks argued.

"Oh... Well what's up?"

"Nice to meet you. My name is Destin."

The operator said.

"My Lord."

SINNBAD interrupted. It was clear that they had been talking for a while. The storm had finally began to rain. A light shower fell, dampening the grass and the navi's bodies.

"If you wish to join us, we have virii to bust."

"Now you're talking." Sparks smiled gleefully. "Does that sound ok with you bro?"

"Of course it's fine with me. It's always fun to meet new people." Joseph cheered. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Blah blah., can we just get to virus busting already." Sparks rolled his eyes in boredom, and clenched his left hand together into a fist. "I've been waiting for ever!"

(Requesting battle 1)

"Then let's go!"

SINNBAD stated loudly as his body rose from the ground, floating half a foot in the air. He launched himself forward, toward the next battlefield.

SINNBAD
HP: 100/100
FloatShoes [NaviCust]: Ignores effects from panels except broken/missing.

[Requesting Battle 1.]

[+2 FXP for talking talkyness]

In their quest to kill more innocent little babies, SINN and Sparks delved into the Electown networks, hoping to find some target practice for themselves. They came across two rather large magnetic panels in the network, surrounded by normal paneling. SINN and Sparks were both unaffected by the magnets, one because he was floating, the other because he didn't care enough about magnets and stuff. Anyway. Around the magnets on the other side were Momogras, which SINN had encountered before and Sparks not. In the magnet area itself were magnet-shaped Magtects, floating around without a care, which both of them were unfamiliar with.

-TEAM BATTLE ONE, FIGHT!!-

"Wow... never seen any viruses like this before." Sparks walked cautiously. "What's the plan bro?"

"What's the usual plan? We're going to delete them of course." Joseph smiled, quickly uploading the shotgun battle chip.

"So this is how we're going to approach this one." Sparks smiled holding his right arm up parallel to the ground at his chest. His hand changed to the shape of a yellowish-green buster, as the shotgun loaded.

"Be careful though. You don't have any idea of what these viruses can do." Joseph warned.

"Gotcha." Sparks focused his sight on MomograA, and took a very precise aim. At an instance without notice he fired the shot, then rolled backwards to dodge any sort of attack that may have been fired in retaliation.

Two Knights Take on the Town

It was a dark and stormy night. The pair had just recently arrived from the grassy knoll of electric grass to a technological instability of the earth. The field before them sparked and crackled in large patches, displaced by the water that fell upon them. The roar of thunder echoed overhead. The occasional bolt of lightning flashed, striking the ground nearby, seemingly attracted by the electromagnetism that pervaded this place.

SINNBAD immediately set eyes upon the mustachioed moles as he stood at the cusp of the battle, drawing bated breath. He hated their cowardly kind, skulking in the shadows of the earth, popping in and out of the ground like common vagrants. He would be sure to deal with such troublemakers quickly and decisively. He drew down his helmet, taking on the vision of a dragon. He would terrify the enemy into submission.

There were no innocent babies here.

He didn't turn to his comrade as he spoke, his voice low so as not to be overheard over the crashing of thunder. A fine misty cloud forming from his mouth as he spoke, the air cold so his warmer breath could be seen manifest. His helmet dripped with the moisture of the rain.

"Be strong Sir Sparks. These rogues are most devious."

It was only then that SINN noticed Sparks bringing up one of his arms, aiming at one of the moles. These Momogra were tricky. The time needed to aim might give the creature time to escape. SINNBAD immediately stepped forward, bracing his feet on the invisible platform of the air he stood on. He raised his voice to a powerful pitch, blotting out the raucous of the storm before its might.

"STAND FAST, VIRUS SCUM! FIGHT ME, OR FLEE WITH YOUR TAILS BETWEEN YOUR LEGS LIKE THE COWARDS YOU ARE!"

The knight roared out his challenge. The moles were most likely the hardest hit by his words, being potentially the most cowardly of the lot arrayed against the pair of navi'. However, it was more than just simple animal sentiments. A monstrously powerful pull had been woven into the very fabric of the warrior's cry. It tried to take hold of the lead Momogra, grasping at and hounding the poor mole with its invisible, long-fingered clutches. The scared mammal would most likely fight desperately against the drawing force, fearful of its effects, fearful of its owner's intentions. It was pretty clear what SINN wanted. That would just increase the creature's panic and struggles.

"Now Sir Sparks!"

SINNBAD called out as he attempted to pull the Momogra close with the power of his presence, keeping it from retreating underground. His actions would give his ally the opportunity he needed to strike the virus with his attack. SINN would add his own cannonade to the attack, attempting to finish what Sparks had started. He raised his Buster arm, his right hand disappearing into the barrel. He took aim at the creature, sighting along the now unobstructed cylindrical weapon. As Spark's weapon rumbled to life, filling the air with its own crackling thunder, SINN's blaster bellowed forth its own solid projectiles.

The soaking, raining air was filled with a hail of gunfire. The cone-shaped wave swept across the field, striking toward the virus with a buzzing wail. The virus would die a most vicious and bloody death: proliferated by holes, torn apart.

However, the bombardment did not stop with just this one action. As Sparks dodged to the side, rolling backwards to keep himself from harm, SINNBAD immediately slid in front of the fellow warrior. SINN was now between the viruses and Sparks, using his own body as a shield. He braced himself as he pulled his left arm in front of him. A shield of light formed across his arm, glowing with a golden hue. The water bounced harmlessly off the shield, showing its solid state, its hefty bulwark. The Guard would protect them both from reprisal.

But SINN was now quicker than he had been, the world slowing slightly with his newfound perceptions. He raised his cannon up again at the viruses and let it resound with another storm-shattering bang. A blast of Shotgun buckshot sped across the field to strike the virii lines, casings rained down from SINN's Buster as it recoiled over and over again. The moles had most likely gone underground by this point, leaving the Magtects alone. Floating around without a care, the magnetic viruses would most likely have little time to react as a salvo of shells showered their location with deadly shrapnel.

The winds were now beginning to pick up as both sides, in the raging storm, fought desperately against the other for their lives. SINNBAD would make sure his comrade survived this. SINNBAD would also not fall here. His will was strong. Any damage done to him would be persevered through, the knight's body held strong by his convictions. He was a champion of the weak and a slayer of demons. Nothing would stop this team of navies.

To start off the battle, Sparks loaded a shotgun while his partner screamed out for the little sissies to come out and play. Naturally, this angered quite a few of them, but there was one which was particularly angered, so much that it seemed like it was being pulled against its will! The Momogra's life ended without reprieve as both of the Navis' fired shells hit dead-on. The other Momogra wasn't too happy about this, and pulled itself underground to meet Sparks' back. Unfortunately, that was exactly what it got, as Sparks rolled backwards over the hole it was going to pop out of, denying it of its attack. Once Sparks had rolled over, the Momogra lifted its shovel to attack... nothing, as it sat there, looking around to try and find its missing target. The last Momogra was a bit too chicken to do anything and sat there in the ground.

Meanwhile, one of the Magtects had its own idea, unleashing a barrage of magnetic power towards SINN. Its draw was to be its undoing, however, as SINN lifted his Guard up to match, reflecting its attack back at them. His shotgun was well-placed as well, with a Magtect's carapace hit dead-on. His Flash Shots deleted one of the magnet viruses, and the other injured slightly. The other wasn't going to leave its buddy hanging in the afterlife like that, and shocked SINN to his core, stunning him slightly in the process. (30) Fortunately, his conviction made sure half the attack was negated.

Sparks wiped the sweat from his brow as he finished his roll. "That was a close one. These stupid little moles are fast." He smiled as he saw MomograB with its back turned right in front of him.

"Get him sparks." Joseph yelled uploading the rage claw and guard battle chips.

"I got him." Sparks smirked confidently as he grabbed the sword handle at his side and swung it toward the mole virus, while yelling. "Zapslash!" As he yelled a yellow triangle shaped blade extended from the handle, and if his slash made contact the electricity would be enough to stop the Momogra in its tracks. If the slash made contact he was prepared to slash again with his Rageclaw.

"I uploaded the guard, make sure to make use of it if needed." Joseph warned.

"I got you." He replied keeping his eyes open for any return attacks. "How ya holding up Sinn?"

Signature Cool Downs

Zapslash, 2 turns.

SINNBAD did not move or yell out as he was electrocuted, the rain amplifying the bolt of that struck him. His body locked up from the magnetism and pain, water cascading off his armored form. It was a pain that SINN was used to by now, having been shocked by electric viruses several times over the course of his travels. His teeth gnashed together and his lips were paralyzed. He would not be beaten by this...

He forced through, breaking the hold. He roared into the cold, dark air as the grip on his muscles ceased, releasing him from this prison. The area around him lit up as the sparks leapt from his form, scorching the surrounding ground mass. The knight held fast as he became his own storm, dulling his sense of pain. The sky rumbled as the rain continued to fall. The knight then moved. It was like he was never wounded in the first place.

The navi raised his Buster at the last magnet virus. The rain beat itself upon the cylindrical weapon. The crack of a shot rang out as the crack of lightning thundered overhead. The Buster spat twin rounds. The tiny cartridges tinkled on the floor below his floating form as the bullets lanced across the rain-soaked field. The wind parted to the white-hot blasts, carving a path through the water like a speedy motorboat. Potentially slamming into the floating virus and splintering like sharp glass upon its face.

Blinded by the shards, wind, and rain, the virus would be easy pray for a harpoon to the torso. A spear-tip had now poked itself from the barrel of the warrior's Buster, gleaming in the light cast by a stray lightning bolt. SINNBAD aimed well as he slid to the side, kicking up a cloud of mist, and releasing the missile. It launched from the cannon with unholy speed, slicing through the zephyr with grim accuracy. Water droplets bounced off its solid form as it flew, spitting and splashing. But the javelin was not alone. A second dart followed right after the other, intent on a similar maiming of the virus as the first.

In a swift movement that would surprise anyone, SINNBAD immediately spun in place after the launch. He then swung his Buster at what was behind him, the confused Momogra, assuming it wasn't dead by now. His Buster projected a glowing Sword as he flanked the mole with his teammate. A flurry of slashes followed, intent on carving the virus into mole steaks. Each blow was hard felt and quick to carve through the rain. The water sizzled as it came in contact with the blade of energy, turning into a cascade of tiny drums.

Drums of battle.

Sparks followed up his initial assault by capitalizing on his position and landing a shocking hit on one of the Momogras while it was halfway into the ground. Just before this, SINNBAD shook off the stun, healed himself and launched a flurry of shots at the MagTect. The first of the speedy projectiles whizzed past the electric virus, but the second hit it dead on. That shot managed to occupy it long enough for two sharp aquatic needles to bury themselves in its body and end the MagTect.

SINNBAD's quick finishing of the insect virus left him able to witness Sparks' attack connecting. Though Sparks had every intention to carve up the Momogra on his own, SINNBAD managed to put several swings through the virus an instant before the electric Navi's own claw attack. At least it was gone. Sparks had a Guard ready as well, but it didn't look like it would be necessary.

The final virus, a Momogra that hadn't been targeted, was now completely alone and didn't like its situation. Panicking, it forgot about its own ability to burrow and fumbled away...straight onto the Magnet panels. It found itself having a bit more trouble escaping, which was bad for it and good for a certain duo of Navis.

SINNBAD stopped Sparks from pursuit, drawing his blade across Spark's path. The knightly navi did not even turn around to face Sparks directly. But his sword arm got in the way anyways. The rain began to lessen. The sizzling of the water on his sword lessened.

"Let it flee... It's warrior spirit is broken. It no longer poses a threat to us."

He stated before turning to his comrade. He lifted up the visor of his helmet and smiled. In a mimic of the knightly smile, the sky slowly began to clear. Rays of sunlight began to peek through the holes in the clouds. The fight and the storm were pretty much over.

"You fought well Sir Sparks."

SINNBAD congratulated his fellow warrior in a light tone as the mole virus feebily scuttled across the magnetic panels.

Summary
1-4: Nothing.

Other Effects:
1: FloatShoes [NaviCust]: Ignores effects from panels except broken/missing.
2: Sword [Battlechip]: 4 uses remaining.

"Why thank you bro." Sparks smiled, holding out his hand in congratulations. "You are a very skilled navi your self." His eyes went from the fleeing Momogra, to the knight like navi.

"Whoa! That battle was amazing!" Joseph jumped up and down in excitement, ready for more competition.

Sparks breathing calmed as he waited for SINNBAD to accept his handshake. "It was a pleasure to fight by your side."

With the Momogra spared, it was able to get out of its magnetic terrain and finally flee off the battlefield. The remaining viruses that was deleted converted into valuable cash for the two to salvage. Though this was all nice, the friendship between SINNBAD and Sparks began to unfold...

SINNBAD reached forward and grasped Sparks with his left hand as his boots deactivated. He didn't grab Sparks hand as much as his forearm. With Sparks' hand grabbing SINN's forearm in turn, they gave each other the mighty warrior armshake. The virus' corpses exploded into data around them, creating a scene of awesome BROness. They both didn't need to say anything further, as these two men didn't need to communicate through words. It was pretty clear that they respected each other.

The zenny datum was sent to Destin's PET without SINN even moving to retrieve it, locked up in the moment. Destin cleared his throat. The sound snapped SINN out of the moment and he withdrew from Sparks with a nod. His sword disappeared, returning his right hand. He stretched his fingers again, getting the kinks out. Then he formed it into a fist.

"Come Sir Sparks. There are more viruses to battle!"

He said as he turned around, his boots reactivating, and he launched off in the direction where the mole ran off.

A view-window appeared on Joseph's PET in the bottom left corner. SINNBAD's operator, Destin, was displayed prominently on the window. He wasn't smiling, but he wasn't frowning either.

"It looks like our navi' are getting along well."

Destin remarked.

"As such, I think we should be getting along well also... Perhaps you could tell me how long you have been around? Both in having Sparks and net-battling."

He asked, hoping to glean some insight.

Sparks smiled awkwardly as the two navis embraced in the armshake. As SINNBAD trailed in the direction of the virus that had just fled the battle field, he took a step forward first very slowly while thinking, "This navi is weird, but he's a great warrior, and maybe a great friend." His sped up closing the distance between him and his new partner.

Joseph put on a similar expression to Destin's as the Net op's face appeared on the screen of his PET. "Yea they seem to be getting along very nicely." He shrugged, not really wanted to show his happiness of the situation yet. "As of for how long, Me and Sparks have been together since I was old enough to hold a PET. We would net battle our friends at school and in the neighborhood, but never did much virus busting, until today that is. We figured it was time to step up our game, because that's the only way we'll ever become the best."
