A large blob of black coloured goo suddenly dropped from the air of cyberspace and landed with a wet squishing sound onto the network's floor. The goo suddenly collected itself and a pair of white coloured eyes and a triangular smile appeared on the goo itself. "Heeereeeee virus virus here here virus...." It muttered to itself incoherently as it started oozing across the floor like a slug.

"Remember Mal. NO consuming." Gaven's voice rang out in the navi's head. The smile turned into a frown.
"Yes yes nofunguy yes no eat." It said dejectedly, in a guttery voice.

[[Looking for tro- Battle 1, ready]]

As Mal'am appeared through the portal, it did not have to go very far for prey. A trio of Metools strolled about, waving their pickaxes in glee as they searched around for victims of their own. They happened to spot the strange-looking Mal'am lying on the floor all by its lonesome. Curiously, one approached, with another trailing close behind. The last decided to play it safe and stay where it was. The approacher took out its mattock and poked Mal'am on the side with the blunt side, uttering a questioning "Meep?"

Mal'am felt something poking it from behind. A metool. How delightful! Perhaps this virus would love a nice game... a nice game of METOOL PONG. The face of the goo turned around and saw the metool straight in the face, the frown turning back into a smile.

Gaven noticed the viruses. Metools, this should be cake, he thought to himself as he slotted in one of the combat chips. A rageclaw, this should do nicely to finish off the group of viruses. As the data was transferred into Mal'am's data, the navi shifted it's gooey body, slowly becoming taller and larger, until it towered at least three times higher than the navi.

"...H3LL0!!11!!" A massive text box appeared behind Mal'am, and within the blink of an eye, a gigantic claw burst out from the gooey blackness and slammed itself into the metool like a baseball bat, aimed to send it flying back to it's compatriots.

As soon as the attack had finished, the navi's head finally appeared. It looked normal... except for the fact that it had eyes taking up at least a quarter of it's face and a slasher smile wide enough to go from one ear to the other. "HELLO" The navi repeated in it's guttural voice, as it raised itself up to start sending it's entire load of goo around the entire area, dancing like a mad jelly creature gone hyperactive, while at the same time circling the viruses, cackling and laughing madly.

Summary of attacks:
1. SURPRISE RAGECLAW - Metool A - 20 dmg - Impact - Slamming straight for Metool B
2. Mad dancing Dodge
3. Dodge

The Metool jumped back as a gigantic welcome message appeared in front of it, scared out of its wits. It was quickly slammed into the other Metool, causing both to tumble around comically. They ended up stacking on top of each other, flailing their legs up in the air. The other Met seemed to be also spooked out of its skin, and ducked under its helmet for cover as Mal'am jumped around like a maniac.

Mal'am was beyond hyperactive, now that it had gotten into it's combat form. The jelly like creature jumped and sent itself splashing from one place to another, before it brought itself jumping straight into the air, it's face looking down and the pile of viruses. Gaven instinctively placed the next battlechip into the PET in order to put the pressure onto the group of viruses. The data for a shotgun attack was transmitted into Mal'am's system files, and soon, the virus spread itself out like a spinning octopus in the air.

Cackling, the navi then whipped it's tentacles, sending a hail of black, sharp projectiles like a shotgun blast at the group of down viruses, before turning into a black teardrop, and dropping into the ground. It didn't have to look at the effect; the virus were good as dead. Instead it focused it's attentions at the last virus. A request (in cryptic form, as usual) was sent to Gaven requesting the last battle chip in the arsenal.

Gaven complied, and slotted in the cannon chip. Mal'am's mouth, still smiling, opened up wide, and suddenly launched a solid mass of goo in the shape of a cannon shell at the distant virus.

Summary of attacks:
1. Jump into Air
2. Shotgun death rain - 50 dmg - Metool A and B
3. Cannon - 40 dmg - Metool C

Raining a torrent of black projectiles on the Metools, Mal'am went massacre-mode as the two viruses were erased from the network. The other Metool still sat under its helmet as the grotesque black-goop Navi belched out another projectile at it. However, strangely enough, the goo bounced off the Met's helmet harmlessly without so much of a scratch.

The Navi's mouth spat steam, before clamping shut and giving the unnaturally wide smile. "Aw... wwa dwork... not did kill." Mal'am said dejectedly, before smiling again and sending it's body charging straight for the virus. With a long tentacle, it whipped forwards out and grabbed the metool, pulling it straight towards the black navi. "then feed feed yes!" It said groaning, as it attempted to raise the metool's helmet, attempting to flip it over to it's vulnerable side.

Summary of actions:
1. Get to MetoolC
2. Flip metoolC over
--Turn Splice--

Blathering something about feeding and not being able to eat and whatever else it was that black blobs thought about, Mal'am went up to the helmeted Metool and flipped it over, causing it to fly up in the air and land on its helmet, its feet comically running nowhere.

As the hapless virus flipped over to one side, Mal'am gleefully approached closer to the virus. In one swift motion, six... no, seven tentacles suddenly protruded out of Mal'am's back, each carrying either a knife or a syringe. The chaotic navi only stared with glee before attempting to stab all seven of it's appendages into the metool, each tentacle carrying a lethal dose of computer virii and data stealing programs.

"FeeD! FEed feed FeED fEed!!!!" It repeated over and over again like a gleeful child.

Summary of actions:
3. Blacksap - 15dmg + glitch - MetoolC

Mal'am struck the virus with its tentacles and injected corrupted data into it, causing the virus to freeze up.

"FeED!1! FEEEeeEEeeEEeE-"

"Mal'am," Interrupted Gaven. The black-gooey navi turned to face the screen that suddenly popped up, it's grin turning into a frown. "WhAt buSY at THe MoME-"

"We've got other things to do. Stop playing around with the virus." Gaven cut in again, annoying the navi further. The Navi turned towards the metool, a scowl on it's face. "BaH" it merely said before it started to plunge the rageclaw into the Metool's face.

2. Rageclaw - MetoolC - 40dmg

As the remnant data of the Metool stuck on Mal'am's rageclaw whittled away to nothingness, Mal'am dismissed the rageclaw, popping up in particles and vanishing back into the inky mess. With no more targets in sight, Mal'am shifted his form back to the unassuming little black blob.

With a cryptic look on it's face, it demanded for it's operator to go further. It was still excited for more fighting. Gaven sighed and complied.

[[battle 2 yes plz]]

Moving further through the Electown network, the blob-Navi-thing wobbled on to find more viruses on which he could feed. And he did, that is, find some viruses. A trio of paper-doll Powies were bouncing around a bigger Champu, which seemed happy enough to accommodate the playful ones by throwing them up into the air with its hands. Their fun was halted, however, as they saw Mal'am and prepared for battle.

-- BATTLE 02, READY? START!! --

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
-turn splice-

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.

Summary
2. Cannon - Powie A : 40 dmg
3. Doj
-Turnsplice end-

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)
