Backalleys and Bridges

Getting off the previous battle easily, Delta came across yet another group of viruses that stood in his way. A row of drill-headed viruses took the front formation to create a moving wall of drills while two sturdy tanks carefully lined their barrels at the navi!

-BATTLE THREE, START!-
Delta calmly looked over the squad of viruses in front of him. "I've got company," the stoic navi said, "Three squid-drills, two tanks."

Henry paused a moment before answering, "Well...Try a shotgun and a minibomb to soften up the front row. I'll send you the chips now."

Delta silently nodded, then held his left hand out and let the minibomb drop into it. In one smooth motion, the navi pulled back his arm and then hurled the explosive in his hand forward at one of the drills. Without wasting a moment, he readied the shotgun to fire and began to circle his opponents until the other two forward viruses were lined up.

As he got into position, Delta took aim at the closer virus, and paused to moment to steady himself. Then he fired, launching a burst of energy and shrapnel at his targets.

Moving aside from the frontlines, Delta threw a bomb at the Drixol, which predictably fell out of line as the Drixol started moving. His Shotgun attack later did hit, however, but it was not enough to deal any significant damage. The Drixol did do some to Delta, however, as their powerful heads bore through his person. (20) (20) The Catacks from behind simply moved slowly, following the Drixol without firing. Seems they were giving him a chance? Weird.

Delta couldn't help but wince as the drills struck him. Stumbling back, the navi looked as if he were about to fall down...and then he did, before rolling to the left and using his right leg to leverage himself up into a standing position. As he finished standing up, Delta backed away from the viruses while his armor's self repair systems came out of standby. As he backed farther away, the navi did his best avoid being hit again.

((Not a very action packed turn, I know, but I figure Delta hasn't got time to ask for chips.))
((bump))
With a little bit of agility and a large bit of luck, Delta made it past quite a few Drixols' attacks. Besides that, the Catacks figured he wasn't going to flee or something, so they also opened fire. Luckily, the shots were really slow, and he could see them coming, dodging them easily. Healing a bit of his wounds, he prepared for the next round... (+15)

Delta dropped backwards onto his left hand, then pushed off of it to fling himself around and avoid an attack. His armor continued to repair itself, hopefully he would be able to finish this up soon.

After a moment, the navi asked Henry, "Can you send me a rageclaw? Thanks."

Henry sighed as he slotted in the chip, then watched the field closely. Delta activated the chip, three claws growing from his left hand's back. Without a moment's pause, the navi charged the closest virus, slashing madly at it as if in a rage.

((Sorry about the long posing time. I had writer's block.))
As his armor continued to repair itself slowly (+15), the viruses continued their relentless assault. A couple of swipes at one of the Drixol followed up some dodging skills, though only one of the clawing attacks actually hit. His evasion tactics had the Drixol on their toes, but his carelessness in not focusing on the Catack earned him a powerful shell in his side. (20) Not only that, the shocks from the shell cracked the floor beneath him, which would give under his weight if he didn't move soon!

As his armor struggled to repair the damage it had received from the shell, Delta mad its job harder by flinging himself off the floor to charge at the nearest Drixol. As he approached his target, the navi brought the rageclaw on his left hand around in a wild, arcing slash, bringing his full strength to bear against the virus. As soon as he finished his attack, Delta changed targets, heading for the next drixol. This time however, he pulled his left arm in against his body before thrusting out, bringing the claw to bear in an upward stab against his target.
((That good?))

Though Delta's plan of rushing towards the Drixols would've been ideal, the fact that he was facing the enemy straight on obviously came with risks. That said, the navi was able to delete the two drill viruses with his rageclaws and left himself wide open for a one-two combo from both the surviving Drixol and the Catack from afar. [-20 / -20]

Delta winced as the drill dug into his armor, but he managed to pull away from his foe - only to stumble right into a shell from one of the tanks. However, the navi was far from finished, and he whirled around to slash at the single remaining drixol with all his might. As his armor repaired some of the damage he had taken, Delta dropped and rolled to avoid any other attack that might be sent his way.

Delta was able to finish off the last of the Drixols with his Rageclaw, and this time he was able to dodge the incoming attacks from the Catacks! The tank viruses tried their best to peg down the navi, but it was all for naught.

As he stood up, Delta launched himself forward to charge at the catacks, raising his rageclaw in preparation to attack. The navi also held his other arm up, and after a moment a sword appeared in it, first the outline appearing before the weapon faded into full existence. As he reached the viruses, Delta brought both weapons straight down on one of the viruses before leaping back to avoid a shell. His armor continued to work at repairing some of the injuries he had taken.

[Please put the passive heal inside the actual summary next time]

Whittling down the Catacks' hit points, Delta recovered some of his injuries in the process. (+15) However, the tanks were unrelenting in their assault as well, delivering powerful shells directly to his chest and effectively canceling out his healing. (20) (20)

The shells hit Delta as he was leaping back, knocking him even further backwards and causing him to collapse when he landed. As he was standing up, then navi made a request to Henry, "Alright, can you send me a zapring and a cannon next?"]

Henry quickly navigated to the window displaying the chip folder and clicked the two chip's icons to send them. As he went back to work he asked, "Delta, you doing alright?"


Delta's response was immediate; "Never been better!" he said as he leaped out of the way of another shell. The navi then formed his buster in his left hand and loaded the zapring. Then he brought the weapon up to point at the undamaged tank. After a moment to steady his aim, he fired, launching the ring of electricity at his target.

Without so much as a pause, Delta loaded the other chip, brought his buster over to point at the weakened virus, and fired, the recoil slamming his arm back. As Delta waited to see what the result of his barrage would be, his armor's self repair routines worked to close some of the cracks it had.

Delta jumped away from a "possible" cannon shell that was "possibly" shot by the Catack, but one could never be too careful. Both the Zapring and the Cannon was a hit and it successfully deleted one of the tanks. The stunned Catack, however, managed to fire one shell before the stun fully locked it in place...Which turned out to be a complete miss.

Seeing that the single remaining virus was stunned, Delta again made a request to Henry, "Alright, I can finish this with the firehit. Then we can finally move on to Yoka."

As the navi made his request, Henry sent the chips, then released the mouse and leaned back. "Alright," he said as he relaxed, "go for it."

Delta nodded, then walked up to the tank and drew back his fist. After a moment's pause, an aura of flame burst into existence around it, and he slugged the virus, the flames growing even brighter and his fist shot forward. Without even pausing, Delta drew back his fist and punched again.

Drawing back his fist mightily, Delta executed the Catack with the power of a fiery fist, showing the virus that he was definitely no stranger to love. It knew the rules, and so did he; all viruses were doomed to execution eventually. It disintegrated into reward packets immediately, which were loaded with some zenny.
