The black blob of goo oozed across the net, leaving behind a trail that disappeared and rejoined with him for every inch he took. The ground had suddenly turned into metuntil he came across a group of viruses. A bunch of statue-like creatures together with a boxing head virus who was... in flames. The navi stopped for a short while, and looked at the viruses with a gleeful face.

"Hold your ground, Mal'am... they don't seem to be interested in attacking you... they're just taking defensive positi-"

Gaven was rudely cut off by a crackling sound. The ball of goo suddenly burst out into it's combat form once more, rising up to be an unrecognizable sticky tower of goo. A smiling face erupted from the front of the navi, staring into the viruses.

"8D"

With that, the Navi suddenly charged forward, tendrils erupting from it's back straight for one of the Powie viruses. Some of the tendrils were whiplike, others carrying syringes containing a colourful blend of liquids in them.

Turn summary:
1. Blacksap - PowieA - 15 HP lifedrain - Pull

Springing into action, Mal'am shifted into its combat form, the scary-looking tower of goo, and pulled the Powie towards it. The little doll was petrified at the scary sight, as were its comrades. The Champu, however, was more daring, and teleported up to the strange amalgam, giving it a couple of feeble punches. That was all it could do, though, as it retreated slowly. (10x2) Mal'am simply stabbed the Powie in its grasp the tendrils of its body, injecting the colorful liquids contained within some of them, and healing itsself. (+15) It also made the Powie unable to move, grounded to the floor.

"Gr- Dammit Mal'am!" Gaven yelled exasperatingly. He knew the battle was on now and he would later berate mal'am for his absolute disregard for data l-

What was he saying? These are -viruses-. They exist to cause nothing but chaos on the internet. Mal'am would be doing a favour to the world by eliminating the net of such pests. Sighing, he pushed his conflicting thoughts away and instead focused on the battle, sending in a battle chip to help Mal'am out.

Meanwhile, Mal'am's figure towered over the grounded powie. the face's jaw opened up, as if completely dislocated in order to reveal a glowing light in it's mouth. A loud whirring sound could be heard, and then, a loud discharge of metal as a solid projectile flew out from it's mouth, aimed for the Powie. The navi let the recoil knock itself backwards, away from it's victim.

A toothy grin appeared on it's face as it started zipping it's way towards it's next victim, the Champu.

The Powie was executed decisively, and just in time for the other two to man up and leap into the air, changing into their respective 1-ton weight forms. They got too nervous, however, and entirely missed Mal'am in their attacks.

The black gooey blob seemed to ignore gravity completely as it's body flew towards the Champu like a flying piece of sludge. It's face grinning widely now as Gaven inserted the next battlechip, a rageclaw. A long, skeletal arm with a sharp set of claws suddenly burst through from the right side of the blob-like navi.

The Navi flung itself beyond the Champu and landed behind it, before swinging the claw in an arc, attempting to smash into the Champu like a golf ball straight into one of the powie viruses.

Gaven followed up the combo by inserting a Shotgun chip. As the battlechip data entered Mal'am's system, a barrel emerged from the chest of the navi. Mal'am took aim, waiting for the Champu to collide with the Powie first...

Summary of attacks:
1. TacMove - Get behind Champu
2. Rageclaw - FORE! - 20 DMG - Send flying into PowieB
3. Aim - Champu + PowieB

Whoosh went the Champu, as it tried to attack Mal'am. Flung backwards, it landed near the Powie that was targeted earlier. Not exactly pleased at this development, the Powies went to man up, and leapt over Mal'am. Transforming into gigantic weights, they bashed down on the blacksap Navi. Unfortunately, due to their close proximity, only one hit. Still hurt, though. (20)

The black collection of goo literally exploded when the Powie had hit it, but soon every piece of it retreated further backwards and recollected itself back into it's full form. Mal'am's visage turned into a frown, and with a huff, aimed the shotgun at the powies that had smashed him. The barrel on the navi formed again, and this time, fired off a hail of black colored pellets at the two Powies.

As soon as it fired, it started running (Or gliding... or sliding, whichever was the case) towards the Champu earlier. With a jump over the powies, Ma'lam raised the rageclaw menacingly, it's face now a poker-faced visage, and closed the distance between it and the Champu. One it had closed in, it swiped the Champu with it, intent on killing it with one hit.

Turn Summary:
1. Shotgun - PowieA + PowieB - 50 dmg
2. TacMove - Close distance between Mal'am and the Champu
3. Rageclaw - 40 dmg - Champu

With a menacing frown, the Powies were obliterated, courtesy of Mal'am's black-barreled arm. The Champu wasn't any better off, either, when the terrifying piece of black slop hurled itself at the virus, and rent it in half. Oof, that's gotta hurt.

With the viruses in his path destroyed once more, Mal'am's smile returned as he shifted back into his non-combat form, and started oozing his way across the net once more, in search of more foes to test his strength.

[[Battle 3: ready]]

Mal'am had the fortune to come upon another group quickly. Beyond a small chasm, he could see two volgears lying in wait. Amidst the ditch, however, several Billies sat waiting, creating sparks as they clapped their needle hands against the magnet-covered ground.
