SINNBAD - A Knight Takes on the Town.

Sparks smiled as the final scarecrow fell to the mighty slashes of his Rageclaw. His attention was now focused on his partner who was retreating to the hillside. "He's reckless..." Sparks stated, images of the previous battles remained in his head. "But he did allow me to see the power of those tanks. It would be unwise to fight them alone.

"Let's try this move. SINN pulled it off earlier. The tank like viruses seem to be in a perfect line approaching. Insert Wideshot1 battlechip! Upload!"

The data was sent to the electric samurai who took careful aim at the approaching tanks. His left arm with the Rageclaw attached rested at his side, while his right arm was straight out in front of him parallel to the ground. His left eye closed as the small mist was released from his open palm, the mist seemed to die out into nothing before forming a big wave of aqua energy that blasted toward the three Catacks.

"Now get out the way!" Joseph commanded.

Sparks ran to his ally at a quick sprint, as he approached the small hill that SINN resided on Sparks dived into a roll getting to his feet right in front of his partner. "How you doing bro?"

Summary
1st action: Precision aim with widewave1 battle chip.
2nd action: Widewave1 battle chip aimed at Catacks A/B/C. (60 aqua damage plus wide attack)
3rd action: tactical movement/dodging to the location of SINNBAD.


Patching himself up from the deadly Catack blast, SINNBAD took to damage control, while Sparks went on the offensive. A WideShot was let loose, but the distance was a bit too far, and Sparks didn't judge the difference quite well, resulting in the blue wave teetering off to the right slightly and hitting only two of the tanks. He then proceeded to get a bit closer to SINN, for he was worried about the latter's state of health. The knight was perfectly fine, though, in fact still raring to go. The tanks were moving rather slowly, and thus he was able to shoot them from afar with a good Shotgun blast, aided by a couple of Flash shots as well, one of which missed. Then, he went into full defensive mode, bringing up a couple of shields to bear. The tanks were a bit slow, though, and did not attack. Understandable, since their power was quite something to be feared.

SINNBAD looked a little worse for wear. His armor was still tarnished and there were some strong cuts in his arms and legs. But he still managed a strong smile as Sparks drew near and asked about his health. SINN coughed a little as he stood up. Shifting himself in front of Sparks. Using his double shields to protect his comrade. He spoke over his shoulder at his friend, his voice only slightly strained and guttural.

"I ... am fine Sir Sparks. The enemy is strong."

He hung his head, shamed.

"... I have been a fool. I charge into battle without regard. Regard for my safety. Regard for your well being."

His voice cracked a little. It was obvious he was pained by the thought he had let Sparks down. Even though Sparks had yet to sustain much damage in any battle thus far due to the diligence of the knightly navi. Especially since SINN had healed Sparks and supported him in their previous skirmishes. But SINN had been a target for quite some time, sustaining quite a few injuries. Perhaps SINN was also thinking of his 'Lord's' words to him, telling SINN not to 'fail' again.

SINN seemed melancholy, his actions were slowed. He held his position in front of Sparks, becoming a sturdy wall between the slow tanks and the two navi'. He couldn't fight at the moment due to the fact his arms were held in check by his shields. He didn't have more than two arms in which to strike. And he seemed too disheartened to continue even if he had a free hand in which to fight. Though he seemed resolute enough to at least guard Sparks, and focus on healing.

Sparks smiled in glee as his partner stood and said he was fine. "SINN don't worry about my safety. We're a team, and you were doing what you thought was right." He spoke as his net op uploaded the chip data for his cannon. His right hand slowly sunk back into his buster.

"I'm sure you know what to do with it." Joseph smiled. "Make the best of it."

"You already know!" The samurai like navi made sure to make well use of his comrade's shields, as he got down in the prone, keeping most of his body hidden behind SINNBAD's defense. He took careful aim at the last remaining Canodumb on the frontlines. A bright light started to shine from with in Sparks buster, the blasted across the battle field in an instance. Smoke filled the surrounding area, meaning the shot connected, but with what Sparks couldn't tell.

"Upload guard1 battle chip!" Joseph yelled sliding the chip through his PET.

Sparks instantly jumped to his feet holding his right arm up, the plated metool shield seemed to add another wall of defense to protect them from attacks. He angled the shield so that it was to the left of his partner's two defenses.

First off, Sparks fired a small Cannon round at the Canodumb a bit off in the distance. Then, as the Catacks advanced on them, SINN and Sparks lifted their shields in double defense. The barrels of the tanks swiveled their way... and fired. The shells rocketed through the air and hit the two's Guards lifted for each other, causing the attack to be reflected Catack-wards. As a plus, the wave that was created also smashed what remained of the Canodumb further off.

SINNBAD dismissed his silver shield and turned to Sparks. His face had lightened somewhat from the encouragement that his fellow navi had given him. His gauntleted hand came up and pushed up the visor once more.

"I thank you for your encouraging words Sir Sparks."

SINN's hand flexed into a strong fist. His words gaining weight and energy.

"We must be close to the source of these virii attacks for the resistance to be so strong. Come... Let us finish our current quest, together."

He stated as he turned around again to face the direction the tanks came from. He pulled down his visor again before he trekked forth. The clouds overhead became darker as he marched into the unknown.

The battle was over, the viruses deleted, and the dust had settled. Sparks dismissed his guard and removed the demonic face guard. His pale face was soaked with tiny beads of sweat.

Sparks shrugged off the sense of exhaustion. He hadn't worked this hard since the long days he and Joseph spent net battling their friends in the park. His muscles ached as if fire was running through his veins, but the excitement and determination kept him going. "No need to thank me SINN, your strength is what's encouraging me right now." The samurai navi smiled as he followed the knightly navi to the next obstacle.

"You're doing great bro!" Joseph exclaimed. "But we both know by the looks of things, it's only going to get harder from here on out. You want to keep going?"

"Of course, my buddy SINN's got my back." Sparks replied fixing his facemask back on to his helmet. "Let's keep moving."

(Requesting battle 5)
SINNBAD and Sparks made their way through the Net, finally reaching what could be the source of the virus attacks.

Not surprisingly, they had to move fast once they detected incoming fire.

"Damn, missed them," one voice said, possibly grimacing.

"They've gotten this far, must be pretty good," another voice, sounding a bit intellectual commented.

"Then I'll leave them to you guys. I'll set up the next point," a rumbling, deep voice ordered, a swishing of a cape can be heard along with the start-up of a motorcycle.

"Whatever you say, dude," the first voice cackled, seeming to load a firearm.

"Let's get this over with," the intelligent sounding one sighed.

The knight and samurai finally got the enemy within their sights. Three Heelnavis, one purple, one green, and one crimson. The purple one seemed to have the standard spiky punk mohawk and was toting a shotgun, while the green one had thick-rimmed glasses and hefted a book too big to be normal.

The crimson Heelnavi grunted and rode off, but it looks like you'll have to deal with the other two first.

"Oy oy oy, don't keep us waitin'," The purple Heelnavi taunted, waving SINN and Sparks toward them. "Come on!"

"Piece of cake," the green Heelnavi stated, adjusting his glasses with a sly smile.

-BATTLE 5-
-GO-
The knightly navi raised forth his left arm in front of his body as a shield. A large, sturdy bulwark formed out of the ether, covering the warrior's arm. It expanded to fill the surrounding space, the left side of the navi disappearing behind the escutcheon. SINN's arm dipped slightly as he got accustomed to the weight. He hefted it into a defensive position, guarding his body from attack.

The knight then took one strong step forward. He inhaled deeply, filling his lungs. His stare fixed itself on the purple HeelNavi. He exhaled, bellowing forth his own challenge. The warrior's roar echoed across the plains like a wave of thunder.

"I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE. COME FORTH AND FACE ME!"

The unseen force behind the summons attempted to grasp the purple HeelNavi in its iron grip. The two forceful personalities clashed, attempting to gain advantage over the other. The knight's words were beguiling, holding a hidden power over the HeelNavi. It would be hard for the shotgun-wielding navi to resist the urge to just charge into the fray. Against his stalwart opponent.

In almost the same movement, and to emphasise his point, SINN raised his right arm and aimed his Buster at the purple HeelNavi. Flash and recoil bedazzled and reverberated as twin bursts lanced across the battlefield to crash against the enemy lines. The white-hot bolts streamed through the air, leaving visible trails of heat in their wake. Thin lines of smoke wafted off the barrel of SINN's Buster as it glowed in the shade cast by the cloudy skies overhead. The challenge was met.

Called to battle by an overwhelmingly compelling force, SINN strode forth to meet the purple HeelNavi head on. He held his shield strong as his Buster projected a gleaming blade of iridescent energy. He raised the blade to fight as he set upon his enemy in honorable combat. The saber sang as it lashed out like a serpent, striking at its foe with quick, brutal strikes.

The first blow came at the HeelNavi's arm, wielding his weapon of choice. The rending chop intended to lop his limb off at the elbow. The second strike aimed itself directly at the chest of the HeelNavi. It pierced the air, intent on driving deep into the heart. It was a bold thrust, and if successful, would spell doom to the purple HeelNavi.

"Some competition." Sparks mumbled to himself as the two heel navis stepped out in front of them. "The red one must be scared." The electric navi chuckled loudly.

"Don't take these two lightly, they might have some nasty trick up their sleeves." Joseph warned. "Rageclaw1 battle chip! Upload!"

Sparks left hand slowly formed itself into the long sharp claws that he would soon use on his opponent. He watched on as his partner called out the purple enemy ahead. "I guess the green one is mine." Sparks said confidently. He dashed off toward the book holding navi, his footsteps loud on the metal ground.

As soon as he reached the heel navi, he let two quick slashes with the Rageclaw. Then quickly twisted his body off to the Heelnavi's left side in the hopes of avoiding any type of attack that should come his way. As he finished his finesse spin his right hand went down to the blade handle at his left side. The samurai released an amazingly quick Zapslash slinging his arm upward in a diagonal slash. The shocking katana instantly dispersed as the slash was over. If the attack landed it would be even stronger due to the nature of the battle grounds they warriors were standing upon.

"Nice spirit! Alright then!" the purple Heelnavi roared as he was unsuspectingly drawn into SINN's taunt as the knight readied his defenses. The purple Heelnavi whacked aside the first Flashshot with his Shotgun before taking the second one in the elbow. Grunting as he saw SINN charge, the purple Heelnavi put some extra oomph into his Shotgun as he fired at SINN. The knight's first blow falling toward the Heelnavi's waist before he was blasted back by a powerful force, thus failing to be in range for his second swing.

The purple Heelnavi fired again, this time with a real powerful looking round, but SINN was quick to use his second intended swing to whack the blast to the side. The shrapnel got to SINN though.

"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about! Let's keep going!" the purple navi grinned, excited.

Sparks in the meanwhile raced up to the green heelnavi who sighed at the samurai's straightforward attack.

"Our boss, too scared to fight you? He would decimate you all in minutes. Anyway come at me with something not so predictable next time," Flipping open his book, the heelnavi activated a barrier first before releasing a Cannon blast that knocked Sparks back, not before he could deal some damage to the green Heelnavi.

"Won't you be strung along by me?" the green Heelnavi taunted confidently as he summoned a Yo-Yo straight out of his book, but a look of surprise came across his face as Sparks twisted to avoid the blow and deliver a stunning attack to his side.

"Heh... not bad...." the green Heelnavi winced, feeling his systems freeze up.

"As you wish."

SINNBAD returned as the purple navi excitedly cackled. The knightly navi brought up his shield and advanced again. This time it took on a golden radiance, shining brightly against the gloom of the clouded sky. A boom of thunder roared in the heavens as the storm began to grow in strength above them. The wind picked up and began to ruffle the leather straps of the knight's armor. It did not rain.

SINN pushed forward, his conviction strong. His steps were airy and swift, floating only slightly off the ground. The chinking of metal boots held one's attention as he padded along. He would batter back his opponents as if they were nothing. His wounds became nothing more than scars. Badges of honor.

The knight brought forth his glowing sword and swung. His muscles tensed as he lashed out with his mighty blade. The sabre sang the song of battle as it struck. It cleaved through the air as a sickle cuts wheat. SINN would reap the harvest of war with the blood of his enemies. See them broken and deleted.

The warrior then slid to his right. His head bobbed down slightly as he shifted his feet, pivoting on his heels. His body slithered as if a snake. His footwork lead him to a suspected exposed flank. He struck again. His sword lashed out to sting the shoulder and upper arm of the HeelNavi. The wind whistled as the point of the blade thrusted through it.

Sparks was pushed back by the cannon blast. His stomach was pained by the impact. "Send me the shotty!" The samurai navi commanded.

"You got it." Joseph sent the data to his navi with a smile. "Try not to get hurt this time."

"I'm ready for anything," Sparks responded. His right arm lifted as his buster was now locked and loaded to fire the shot gun blast. The clap of gunfire sounded all through out the area as the shotgun fired off.

Hoping for a direct hit, but not taking any chances Joseph uploaded the guard1 battle chip.

Before bringing out the metool's line of defense sparks dashed forward at the green heel navi slicing once more with the Rageclaw in his left hand.

Sparks immediately brought out the large yellow shield, holding it out in front of him to defend from the next oncoming attack, and maybe reflect it.

3rd action: Gaurd1 battle chip(1 hit shield up to 60 damage+reflecting+line attack)

While SINN and the Purple Heelnavi did manly battle talk, Sparks pulled out a Shotgun and blasted the green Heelnavi in the gut. Regaining his composure, the Green Heelnavi caught the Rageclaw in between the folds of his book and ripped it right off Sparks' arm, giving a new meaning to the term 'Disarm.'

The green Heelnavi proceeded to whack his tome over the electric samurai's head, but was thrown off his feet when the Guard blocked the hit and sent him teetering back.

Seeing that he'd have to engage in close combat soon, the purple Heelnavi pumped his Shotgun.... and shifted a flaming bayonet to the front.

The two blades clashed, but the pressure of SINN's sword reverberated through the blow, still dealing some damage to SINN. Realizing that close-quarters really wasn't his specialty, the purple Heelnavi grunted as he fired a shotgun blast forward, only to have it dodged by a quick sidestep. He wasn't prepared for the next blow and the blade nearly cut off the Heelnavi's left arm.

Sparks grunted in annoyance at the loss of his weapon. "That's new." He frowned. Shaking off his disappointment he immediately went back to offence fired his custom buster at the green Heelnavi. Not waiting for the contact he sprinted off to the side trying to run around the enemy, and being very wary of his enemy's movements, he releases another shot at the green opponent.

Summary

1st action: custom attack (2 damage at HeelnaviB)
2nd action: evasive movement around HeelnaviB
3rd action: custom attack (2 damage at HeelnaviB)
The two navi clashed. Again and again the warriors traded blows. But it was clear that the purple HeelNavi could not contend with the silver-gray knight up close, in the thick of melee. Within moments of the last clash, the knight stood strong, with even breath, while the HeelNavi was on his last legs, heavily panting. The knight, barely floating above the ground, took a solid step forward.

"You have fought bravely..."

SINN started as he brought his shield up once more. The golden radiance returned, shining at full strength, and blinding all whom looked upon it. The knight took the momentary distraction to swing his shield like a hammer at the upper chest and head of the HeelNavi. A solid blow would send the purple HeelNavi reeling. Though the attack that could end the battle, was really a distraction.

"But the battle is mine!"

The knight declared as he slipped to the side once more. He followed the momentum from his shield bash to get another shot at the HeelNavi's flank. His sword arm lashed out for perhaps the final time. The blade flashed toward the HeelNavi's side. The air reverberated with the song of death as the glowing sabre cleaved across the zephyr. Splinting through the ether with unnatural ease.

SINNBAD was so confident in victory that most likely any damage against his form would not even show up upon his body.

1. Guard1 [Battlechip]: (1-Hit Shield) + (Reflect up to 60 + Piercing + Line Attack).

SINN brought up another Guard, which caused the Heelnavi to move left and consequently avoid the shield bash and fire his shotgun, but SINN moved to the Heelnavi's right, originally his left if he was in the same position, and then the Heelnavi was cut down.

"Urgh... not cool at all," the Heelnavi grunted, Jacking Out.

Sparks kind of just slashed at the unbalanced green Heelnavi and won. Yay!

"Sir Sparks."

SINNBAD called out as he trotted over to his comrade. It seemed the two of them handled the HeelNavis without much problem. The knight's shield dispersed as he came to a halt a foot or two from the samurai.

"How are you holding up?"
"Good good." Sparks sat down to take a short breather. "Thanks for your concern. How are you my friend?" The samurai looked his partner in the eyes, as he removed his facemask letting the sweat beads drip to the ground.
"I'm still strong."

SINN adjusted his gauntlets and then pulled up his visor. The cold air and water hit him just as it began to dribble a light rain. It seemed that the storm wasn't over yet and they had just came out of a break.

"Do you feel like continuing?"

The knight asked. SINN was not breathing that hard. And it was hard to tell if he had sweated all that much, due to the rain now dripping off his face. Although moving around in that heavy plate would tire most people out.
