Triple Trouble in the Club

"Kyyaaaaan!" The next wave of focused attack against Kandy finally managed to finish off the flashy raver, no matter how hard she attempted to escape the attacks. "Argh, this totally killed my mood for the week!" With a flash of light as colorful as her dress, Kandy promptly activated her EJO out of the rave dome, leaving the fight 2 against 3.

OldSchool and VJ wasn't particularly shocked by the defeat of their comrade, already knowing that she would be the first one to fall. "What now, OldSchool. Do you think we can still jam, even though it's a sausage fest now?" The navi in the neon green continued suckle into his pacifier as he quickly backed away from both the coal and the drop of lightning from the RemoteBit. "...*Chu chu chu chu chu!...Chu?* (They're pissing me off. This is my party and why are they here to ruin it!...VJ?)"

OldSchool turned to see VJ and his robotic eyes catching something VERY interesting that tickled his fancy. The navi was entranced by Ante's little dancing, but Oldschool could but only sigh at his partner's idiocy. "*Chu chu * (Kandy's the only girl for me.) " In the midst of all this, Kaijuman successfully locked his jaw tightly against OldSchool's shoulder, draining the navi from his health [-50 / +30 Drain]. "*Chuuuuu!* (PISS OFF!)" The navi with his robotic arm grabbed Kaiju by his neck and slammed him down against the coal. [-40]

"Daaaaaayum. That gray-girl knows how to dance." said VJ as he raised his shade up to eye. Getting back to the battle after he had his fun, he turned towards ZephyrMan and closed his hand into a shape of a gun. With the tip of the index opening to reveal a barrel, pegging a bullet right at ZephyrMan's chest! [-40]

"Now that I'm in the mood, lets continue this massacre!"

KaijuMan glared angrily at the pacifier-sucking Navi that slammed him down. He growled bitterly, the coals near his mouth glowing brighter from the heat. He dug his hands into the coal, and moved his tail to the side before he quickly jerked himself upright, swinging his tail to the other side and shoving off with his hands. In the process, his tail purposefully kicked up a wave of hot coals, and attempted to shower the Navi with them. The RemoteBit overhead took the cue to follow OldSchool after the shower of coals as it charged up. As soon as the Navi stopped, it fired a final bolt of electricity down towards him with a loud ZAP!

KaijuMan could feel the fatigue of his wounds, and saw his allies behind him shaking off their confusion and blindness. Though he wanted to simply keep charging forward, they were more than capable of handing his assault. Though he hated the idea of it, he knew he needed to fall back a bit to take them on from a distance. KaijuMan crouched down, slamming his tail against the coals, before he pushed off with all of his might, propelling him back and away from the enemy.

As he flew through the air, the fire around and between his dorsal spines extinguished, leaving small trails of white smoke. He used his tail to adjust his direction relative to the enemy, and tried to keep himself facing directly towards them. His heavy body slammed to the ground below, causing the tiles beneath him to rattle and creak from the weight as a shockwave pulsed through them. While a weaker pulse rippled out in every direction, a more concentrated wave shot out in front of him, and made a beeline towards OldSchool and VJ

Well, at least he had his sight back. That and a nice patch of pain on his chest. "Very well, no more-hmm?" That was odd...Ante was all sweaty and panting. And her skirt was missing. Did something happen while he was visually impaired? "Erm, Ante, why is-"

"Woo! Lucky you, huh ZephyrMan? Second time you've gotten to see a girl like that today!" Of course, the first time was Ariel herself. "Actually, you know what? We should all take some clothes off so she doesn't feel too weird!"

"No, we're not. This is a public facility in the real world, Ariel! You could get kicked out for doing something like that!"

And thus did the operator's top remain. "Fine...don't worry, Ante! Sometimes I lose clothes randomly like that too!"

"Random isn't the proper word for your case...but I digress. Let us continue the battle!"

"Or you can battle, and I just press yes whenever something pops up!"

"Yes, or that..." The arrangement was promptly utilized, as a BattleChip request was granted, causing a small bomb to appear in the wind Navi's right hand. Instead of immediately chucking it, however, he stirred up the winds, to create a gale to knock the two remaining enemies closer together. Once that was accomplished, he lobbed the sphere into the air; on contact, it would radiate electromagnetic energy capable of preventing movement, as well as generally inflicting pain on those within its blast radius. A double whammy, to be sure.

With his eyes working properly, he continued the assault, as a single barreled fun once again took shape on ZephyrMan's hand. This one, however, was not innate to him, as evidenced by the black stripe along its middle. Not that this was a bad thing, as it meant its shot would prove far more powerful. After some quick aiming, this fact was proven, as a yellow energy burst that made his buster shot pale in comparison was fired, and was even capable of causing a second explosion right behind the point of impact. How, was unclear, but with a handy effect like that, it wasn't important, either.

Unfortunately for him, his focus on the battle prevented him from stopping his operator from performing questionable actions; as his MagBomb and Shotgun salvo rang, Ariel appeared to look a bit less blue, as a ball that was her shirt was gently tossed in her hand, allowing all to bear witness at her sizable chest, with only a bra to obscure what it looked like. "See? We're all behind ya, Ante! Isn't that right, Teruko?"

As Ante's confusion finally wore off, she was mortified for various reasons. The first and most important was that she'd been poledancing without her skirt on, which was a very improper thing to do in any occasion. Secondly, however, the poledancing hadn't been particularly effective in drawing attacks away from her allies either. "I'm sorry," she sighed quietly, not knowing how to apologize.

Teruko was still recovering from watching her navi give her all poledancing, so she felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Ariel's breasts bouncing so close to her. "W-W-W-W-!" she gasped, feeling tempted to cover up Ariel's body, but then she realized that Ariel might have a good point. It was pretty mean of her to make Ante put up with this situation without going along with her to ease the embarrassment. "W-Well, I guess you have a point. Yes! Right! Ariel and I are here for you!" she responded.

She reached down to her waist to do the same as Ariel, then suddenly remembered that she was wearing only a belt and one-piece dress. Taking off just her shirt wasn't really possible. "Pooooop. Ariel, you dummy," she thought to herself, trying to think of how to proceed. She made some motions over at John for him to look the other way, then quickly pulled down the straps of her dress and let it fall to her abdomen, where the belt and her sitting position still secured it.

Teruko's large, somewhat plump breasts bounced up and down, secured only by a showy, black, silken bra that she'd put on earlier to go with her "fancy panties." It felt a little small, since she hadn't worn it very much to break it in yet. "Fight on, Ante! We're with you all the way!" she cheered her navi on, then quickly crossed her hands across her chest while blushing beet-red.

Ante watched Ariel and Teruko in dismay; her own face grew redder and she waved her hands frantically. "Th-That's not necessary! I'm fine! Thank you for the sentiment but I'm perfectly capable of focusing. You all should cover up, I-I mean, you're both lovely, but-!" she babbled, before Teruko stopped her with another exclamation.

"If you really want us to cut it out, finish the battle quicker, alright?" she pouted, covering her chest with the loose top of her dress, held to her body with one arm. She slotted through chips with her free hand, then gave her navi a reassuring grin. "You can do it! Go go, Ante!"

Ante smiled back at her silly operator, then prepared to use her weapons against the two remaining foes. "I'm sorry for my foolishness just now, my allies. I'll repay my debt to you two with this magnificent attack!" she called out, raising her scepter out of the ground and transforming its head into a club. After powering up her attack by loading the scepter with chips, she smashed the head back against the ground and sent her ghost-like jack through the underground of the net. The creature emerged from the hole created by KaijuMan's remote bit earlier and headed for OldSchool.

She smiled at VJ coyly, then tipped down her hat. "Thank you for praising an old maid like me, my opponent, but I'm afraid I'm still more interested in fighting than dancing. Now, Jack!" she cried, motioning dramatically with one hand. The hologram-like being slashed its sword towards OldSchool mercilessly, cutting a white, gleaming line through the air and then vanishing.

Continuing relentlessly, she swiped the club through the air and released a powerful blast of water towards the enemies. She then grunted and brought it up above her head, using both arms to hold it. She brought it back down and smashed it into the net, bringing up a shockwave across the net and scattering playing cards all around it. "Sorry if this isn't the kind of party you were expecting!"

OldSchool instinctively guarded his eye when the coals kicked up by KaijuMan, simply shrugging off the burns inflicted by it [-8]. "...*Chu chu chu chu chu!* (Where are you going!)". The navi was extremely agitated by all of this and actually followed KaijuMan towards Zephyr and Ante. OldSchool grabbed onto KaijuMan once again, even taking on the shockwave head on [-40] as he threw the giant lizard-like navi against Ante. [-20 (Kaiju) / -20 (Ante)]

"Hey wait up!...Woah, thanks for the ride!"

VJ followed OldSchool promptly, aided by Zephyr's gust of wind. The two raver evaded the electric bomb, but the shotgun successfully nailed the two. [-50 (OldSchool) / -50 (VJ)] "Urgh, you again?" VJ retaliated with the same gunfire, now pegging ZephyrMan on the shoulder. [-40]

While everyone was preoccupied, Ante was preparing her SummonBlack, which caught the attention of OldSchool as he quickly reacted to it. "*Chu chu chu chu chu!* (Like I'd let you!)" The navi landed a punch straight against Ante's fair face without hesitation to stop her attack...But as many say, karma has a way to get back.

The SummonBlack came forth and cut through both OldSchool and VJ to inflict serious amount of damage, forcing OldSchool to jack out on the spot! [-197(OldSchool) / -160 (VJ)]

Though the battle was still far from end with VJ still standing from the attack, the lone raver sighed as he raised both hands up as a sign of surrender. "Jeez, aren't you fellas tough cookies. Fine, I didn't even want to come to this party anyhow. Who would come this far for some party, jeesh. If the viruses weren't enough, there's these partay poopers. I had enough...Peace, yo."

Holding up a peace sign towards the exhausted trio, VJ simply left the battle...making the three navis the victor!

After impacting his ally, KaijuMan slumped to the floor, and growled as he tried to stand back up. He saw the enemy he was engaging continue to press the attack, but he was quickly vanquished by a shadowy, blade-wielding virus, seemingly summoned by the very ally he collided with. He was rather impressed by the power of her ability, though he wouldn't admit it.

He stood back up and snarled at VJ, who seemed to be in the process of surrendering. The Navi quickly beamed out, effectively fleeing the scene, and leaving behind the spoils of battle. KaijuMan stumbled forward, picking up the battlechip and zenny data left behind by 'OldSchool,' and muttered under his breath as he glanced to where VJ once stood.
...coward...

Meanwhile, back in the club, John was... caught off guard as he found himself with two inebriated allies, who were now shirtless. He tried to contain his excitement and keep his eyes from getting locked onto the busts in front of him, and took a swig of his beer as he tried to collect his thoughts. However, all he could think of was:
{Holy crap, this is awesome.}

He put down his drink as he chuckled.
Now that is some dedication to supporting your Navi!
All ZephyrMan could do was shake his head at the unfolding scene, both in terms of his operator being less clad than before, and of the last opponent fleeing. "Not the bravest of fellows, eh?" He gathered one of the reward data chunks, noticing that there happened to be BattleChip data mixed in with the cash. He would normally tell Ariel, but anything he said would probably be lost within 30 seconds. And that was if he was lucky. "Well, that was quite a battle! Excellent job, everyone!"

"WOOHOO!" The drunken pilot threw her shirt in the air in joy at the victory, which landed and covered her head. Fortunately for John, it had been crumpled up enough that it failed to obscure any view below her neck. "Hey, where'd everyone go?! It's all dark!"

"Perhaps you should remove your shirt from your face..."

"What shirt? I don't have a shirt on my f-" Naturally, it chose to fall into her lap at that instant. "Hey, I can see again! It's a miracle! WOO!" Ariel promptly started to bounce up and down in her seat in celebration, causing certain parts of her to also bounce. "Hey, you know what'd be awesome? If we all went to Yumland!"

"...Yumland? I realize you're a pilot, but-"

"On the Net, silly! I've heard Nets in other countries are all fancy, and I want to see one! And the one I want to see is Yumland! C'mon everyone, how about it?"
"Excellent indeed. I am lucky to have such skilled allies, as I certainly couldn't have overcome that challenge alone," Ante responded, pressing one hand to her breast. "It was an invigorating battle."

Teruko, in the mean time, was watching Ariel through her fingers and feeling embarrassed, hoping nobody she knew was watching their group. "Well, I'm okay with moving them to Yumland Net. Let's just uh... Well... Ante's going to be clothed again, so it's okay if we put our tops back on now, right?" she asked awkwardly, still pressing her top against her breasts for modesty's sake. It was still possible to glimpse her waist and belly around the top, however.

"Yes, er, I thank you for the encouragement, but it's not particularly necessary. This glitch is a burden that I alone must bear. There's no reason that the two of you need to... imitate that burden," Ante pitched in uncertainly, trying to decide if there was even a good reason that they'd taken their tops off to start with.

Teruko's topknot clip-ponytail bobbed up and down as she nodded vigorously (her breasts were also bouncing somewhat provocatively, although she had them covered). "Right, right! What do you say, Ariel?"

Her navi waved to KaijuMan and ZephyrMan. "I will jack out and then head immediately to that net. I look forward to our meeting there," she encouraged them, then disappeared from the net.

((Jack out, heading to Yumland Net))
John couldn't help but laugh as he saw Ariel's shirt antics. He also threw his arms up in the air as Ariel celebrated the miraculous return to her sight. He was obviously fairly inebriated as well, since he seemed to be getting into it as much as Ariel.
Hooray!

Thankfully her bouncing didn't distract him enough to miss the Yumland suggestion, and he lowered his arms as he canted his head to the side, and shrugged.
Sounds good to me!

However, he heard a grumbling from his PET.
Hrmph, we're leaving again?

John looked down at his PET, before picking it up and looking at the screen. KaijuMan's rather battered body was somewhat seen, but most of the screen was taken up by his large face.
Yes, but just to give you a quick breather. I hear Yumland has lots of grass, and it burns quite easily~

John was coaxing his Navi, and the swishing of KaijuMan's tail indicated the pep talk seemed to work. KaijuMan gave a satisfied snort as John activated the jack-out function. The floor opened underneath the Navi, and he dropped almost 2 feet before splashing down in what seemed to be lava! KaijuMan looked rather calm as he sank in, then the floor closed up over top as he was beamed out in to the PET itself.

John didn't disconnect the cable, and saw KaijuMan's energy quickly replenishing as he looked over at his two companions. His lips curled into an impish grin, since he was again reminded both of his allies were currently shirtless. However, they were mentioning the idea of putting their shirts back on, since Ante's outfit would be back to normal once they re-log. He was going to mention something, but he didn't want to push the issue. Considering how it was caused, and they are still consuming drinks, it didn't seem like a stretch to predict something similar might happen again.

((Logged Out))
Despite the circumstances in which it was likely forumlated, ZephyrMan had no qualms with heading for Yumland. "Seems we're all in agreement...very well! But first, I believe I could use a moment to patch myself up!"

"'K!" As her Navi took one final check to make sure nothing was missed, Ariel suddenly found herself enraged for an unknown reason. She knew what was causing it; the suggestion of putting her shirt back on. She just wasn't quite sure why that made her so angry. And her alcohol consumption made sure she didn't care why, either. "No! Don't leave me out in the cold all alone, Teruko! NOOOOOOO!!!" She leaped out of her chair and wrapped her arms tightly around her, apparently deciding that hugging it out was the best approach. And luckily for any onlookers, it meant that their chests were now fighting it out to see how little space they could take up. Due to the sheer collective volume, however, the answer was 'quite a bit'.

"Erm...Teruko, as much as I hate to condone this behavior, no force on earth will stop her from making a spectacle out of this until you agree to continue as is. If you wish for few to notice, you're best off simply complying..."

"See? ZephyrMan wants it, too!"

"I-I never said that!" Truth be told, he wasn't entirely unhappy about the predicament, but he could still sympathize with Ante's operator. He just didn't want things to get even more ridiculous than they already were...which, based on past experience, would probably happen if he didn't step in. "...All right, I'm headed for the PET. Please settle this quickly, ladies!" In a burst of wind, the wind Navi vanished from the Net, en route for the quick heal before he headed for a more densely forested area...

(jacking out, then headed for Yumland)
