~ADVENTURE~

[[From Netsquare]]

Falling out of the sky, Shisho was a feet away from landing on his face before he regained altitude and floated back to his ordinary position. Giving a brief glance at his surroundings, Rini shouted another "ONWAAAARDS!" and he floated off towards a random direction.

[[Battle 1, Ready]]
Venturing into the Electown network, Shisho found himself floating along without much in the way of interruptions. He did find a very impressive wall-thing. It was lined with electronic bus lines and shiny lights and stuff that makes it look future-y. The wall was hemisphere-shaped, making for an impressive display. Shisho examined it for a bit before deciding to go back... only to find that a trio of Metools had snuck up on him beforehand. The hardhat-wearing trio waved about their mattocks in preparation of battle.

"Very impressive wall," Shisho pondered as he examined the wall, his operator busying herself with the spectacle. "Woooooow! Look at how it goes all wooooo and ZOOM with fast lights!" Rini bounced, pondering if she could actually take it home with her. "Can we take it home please please please?" she pleaded.

Shisho sighed. "No, you can't. We've been through this before, remember Rini? I'll get you something else later, okay? Something more fun than this!" he promised, already readying himself into combat mode. He began to observe the battlefield, as well as the three Metools before him. "And this is where you start slotting in chips, Rini," the Navigator noted, his cables sinking onto the metallic surface beneath him.

As he waited for Rini's decision on the chip of choice, Shisho began performing his arts, already turning a panel one of the Metools was standing on into a magnetic field. Something seemed to be missing. Perhaps a drop in his performance levels, Shisho thought he just realized that he couldn't do as much as he could anymore. Having no actual Operator's support, the reason behind it will forever remain as a mystery to him. Shisho just shook his head, clearing the uneasiness before returning his focus to battle.

"And a cannon for youuuuuu~" Rini hollered, sending the data over to her Navigator. She was pretty active over at the dining table again, her food forgotten. "And then a shotguuuuun, oh, this looks cool! Maybe I should get one of these for myself, too!" she added enthusiastically, looking at the chip's sticker image before slotting the second chip in.

"Umm, no, you can't, that's illegal," Shisho said, smiling a bit from Rini's bubbly personality. As soon as the data arrived, Shisho drew a sorcery circle before him, one that was larger than his usual conjuration-- only to summon a medieval-styled cannon, ready to fire. The digital portal still existing, a shotgun barrel seemed to appear to unceremoniously clunk to the metal panels before Shisho, letting loose a shotgun slug at another Metool. The remaining Metool was not left alone, however; as soon as the wick disappeared into the cannon, it fired a gigantic cannonball towards the final Metool in a loud 'WHOOSH'.

"... Shisho... They look different from the sticker pictures..." Rini mumbled disappointedly.


Summary of actions
1) Conversion: Terra [Magnet] - Small-area Terrain Effect (Magnet) - Below Metool A
2) Shotgun - 50DMG, Spread1 - Metool B
3) Cannon - 40DMG, Knockback - Metool C
Changing a panel underneath a Metool into a magnetized one, Shisho got to work quickly, firing a shotgun slug at the Metool. However, most unfortunately, his aim seemed to waver way off course, shooting the slug clear above the Metool's helmet. His second Cannon shot was much better, however, as it blew the other virus clean away and deleted it. The remaining two viruses whacked their pickaxes ground-ward, and sent two large shockwaves towards Shisho. Fortunately, their relatively slow motion allowed Shisho to merely watch them go past him harmlessly and hit the wall behind him instead.

"Ehhhhhhh?"

Rini bounced abruptly from her seat, shaking her PET. "Shisho missed," she grumbled, once again settling down into her chair, silent for a brief moment. "Er, oops," Shisho squinted at the trajectory, and how it missed entirely. He made an instinctive head-protecting motion with his hands as he heard the unavoidable, impending screech of annoyance from Rini. "You. You. YOU!" Rini seethed, taking out the other two chips to slot in. "Do a better job, with these! Go! Rawr! Or I'll nom you!" the operator roared.

Shisho opened one of his eyes from his current head-protection pose to squint at the invisible data flowing towards him. I don't remember any other usable chips except for--

Rageclaw and Recov10.

"Um, these aren't useful," Shisho started reluctantly, eyeing the response of his operator. "Not really caring! Do something, do ANYTHING!" Rini jumped in her seat, irritated and was going to bite a sandwich. (Which she did). The navigator sighed, and straightened up, two arms pointed at the Metool unaffected by the chaos he made before. His intention clear to himself, his actions defined, Shisho delivered his will to the ground beneath him.

The earth seemed to waver, this time, with no words. The seismic waves just seemed to travel, quietly, yet making it's presence clear, towards the Metool designated. As soon as the waves arrived at the target, the waves stopped, dissipated, before caving the metallic properties into the squarish, predefined confines of the panel. Red, boiling liquid rushed from below to replace the metal, making the terrain suddenly more dangerous for the Metool in question.

Then a wisp of smoke, in the form of a figure, seemed to appear before the Metool, blocking Shisho's line of sight with the virii.

'i'll be waiting.'


Shisho blinked. It wasn't the first time he heard that voice, but he never knew the source or to whom it belonged to. It was with him for as long as he could remember. But... This was the first time it materialised before him, in a visible form.

It disappeared before Shisho could react.

"What are you doing, Shisho? Do something! Rawr!" Rini's tone snapped Shisho out of his sudden contemplation, seeing how the terrainwork was over and done with. Taking a deep breath, the floating navigator drew a wide circle before him, a blue glowing line tracing his sleeve-covered arms where he dragged them. "Conjuration: Ice Needle!" Shisho called out, and an icicle flew unceremoniously out of the magic circle at high speeds towards the sole Metool standing on Lava.


Summary of actions
1) Dodge (duck, cowering head with arms, eyes closed)
2) Conversion: Terra [Small-terrain Lava, 1TCD] - Metool B
3) Conjuration: Ice Needle [Single target, Aqua 20, + Terrain advantage, 1TCD] - Metool B
Annoyed by the rants of one Rini Merck, Shisho put up his hands to his head to cover his ears, which hardly did anything substantial. Later he did do some other useful things, such as creating a lava panel underneath another Metool and launching some ice needles at it. The lava multiplied the ice's effectiveness, causing the fiery terrain to explode below the Metool and deleting it.

The other Metool sat and waited on the magnetized terrain, paralyzed by its effects.

A lone metool remained on the battlefield, paralysed by Shisho's terraforming abilities still. Deciding to proceed with a finishing move, he contemplated on what was remaining in his arsenal...

... Well, there were those two chips, which weren't really useful at the moment.

"I-I guess I can utilise this in a way..." Shisho muttered with a low tone, relucantly loading Rageclaw into physical form. What came into his hands, however, was a baseball bat with claws on it. Okay, this was just getting ridiculous. There was no way he was going to use this, not ever. "WOAH! A STICK! Bat people and swing and HOOOOOOOMERUN! That's so cool, Shisho! Use it use it use it!" Rini said excitedly at the materialisation of the obviously MELEE weapon, even though Shisho was quite FAR AWAY from the remaining Metool.

"... O-okay... I can do this," Shisho mumbled again, hesitantly making his way towards the Metool.

He only floated for a tiny distance, however, before he was restrained by his cables glued to the ground.

"This is soooo soooo embarrassing," Shisho was looking ready to hide his head in a missing panel if he could find one in range. Regardless, he eventually dislodged them from the ground, and floated towards the lone Metool. As the floating Navigator edged closer to the virus, he took up the bat, licked his lips, and swung it with all the force his tiny frame might possess. Which wasn't alot, unfortunately.

Then he floated away from the Metool quickly, as if afraid that it might plague him back with the very scary pickaxe.

Summary of actions:
1) Move towards Metool A
2) RAGECLAW [6/6] - 40DMG, Slashing - Metool A
3) D-d-dodge!
How could you possibly fail? Prizes for everyone.

...Except for the Metool because it died.

His deed done, Shisho immediately discarded the bat, as if slightly annoyed or disgusted at the object. "Yaaay, Shisho did it! CHAAAAAAAAAAAARGE TO THE NEXT AREA!" Rini commanded with her squeaky voice, and Shisho readily complied.


[Ready: Battle 2]
Shisho floated around the wall and was surprised to find nothing beyond it.

Continuing on, Shisho felt uneasy as no enemies appeared for a while before an electric disc whirled past him. Snapping his head in the direction of the attack, the navi found a lone bunny bouncing around magnetic pathways before stomping hard on a metal panel, causing three CanoDumbs to rise up in a line and lock their sights on Shisho. The Bunny bounced around the magnetic box surrounding the Cannondumbs in the meanwhile.

"Eep!" Shisho squealed childishly, much to the delight of his Operator. "Haha! Looks like Rini has no choice but to help you!" Rini announced, watching the CanoDumbs rising from the panels. "Good luuuuuuuck~" she giggled, slotting in the two chips that were pretty normal a spectacle to Shisho by now.

The Navigator observed as the Bunny seemed to be unaffected by the Magnetic terrain. That one would have to go first, he thought, bringing up a finger to draw out his summoning circle. A giant shotgun barrel appeared out of the circle after a few showy flashing lights, mechanically grinding it's barrel direction towards the Bunny virus. With the same hand Shisho used to draw the circle, he flicked his wrist, sending the barrel resounding in a loud click before it unloaded a speeding shotgun shell.

The magic circle still up, Shisho willed for the shotgun to disappear. Almost immediately, the medieval-styled cannon made it's appearance into the digital world once more from the portal. It rolled a couple of inches from realistic-looking weight before it, too, turned slowly on it's own accord towards a CanoDumb.

Then it did nothing.

"..." Shisho watched at it dumbly. Now that it rolled slightly out of his usual range, the Navigator seemed to disappear for a brief second before reaching forward to the cannon. Two fingers on the wick, Shisho rubbed the two fingers together, creating a quick spark. The wick comically burst into life, the burning edge slowly making it's way into the cannon barrel before growing silent.

And then a gigantic cannonball flew out of the cannon, it's mass looking ready to crush things.

Summary of actions:
1) Shotgun - 50DMG, Spread1 - Bunny, CanoDumbA
2) Dodge
3) Cannon - 40DMG, Knockback - CanoDumbB
Shisho pinpoints the Bunny's position and brings out a shotgun from the aether, blasting the bunny with a bang. It also hit one of the Canodumbs behind it so that was cool too. The Canodumbs were currently locking on to his position and didn't bother with shooting him or anything like that. It made attacking them kinda like shooting fish in a barrel. Except that's not as easy as it was but whatever, Shisho hit anyway. It was pushed towards the magnet zone and stuck there.

"Um."

"What is it?" Shisho called out, staring at the Canodumb locked onto him. "Uh-oh, this looks bad," he bit his lip, wondering how he could possibly stand against a direct hit from a well-aimed shot... If only he was what he was before becoming Rini's Navigator...

... Wait, what?

"There's alot of cheepz now! What do I use next, I dunno!" Rini pouted at the PET, taking up a few other unused chips and looking ready to consume them. "R-Rini! Is there one labelled as Guard? As in, G-U-A-R-D," Shisho spelled it out, his eyes still stuck at the locked-on Canodumb. "Ummm.... Yeah! Yep! There's one!" Rini said, eyes glistening with fascination at the new, unused chip. "Yeah, slot it in, and hurry please!" Shisho said with rising urgency, looking ready to dive and disappear into the ground...

... And at long last, Rini slotted Guard1 for Shisho's use.

As soon as the data was transacted, Shisho held his two hands forwards, his palms facing the Canodumb virus. A giant, transparent shield materialised, originating from Shisho's palms outwards into an equal radius circle. A sheen of blue reflected off the shield's surface once. The shield remained floating in front of Shisho even after he removed his fingers from it, ready to serve it's purpose.

"And Raaaaaaaaaaaaageclaw!" Rini said happily, throwing in the chip into the fray. Kinda wish that I have another artillery choice, Shisho thought, unplugging himself from the ground and floating defensively towards the virii aiming at him. Shisho waited for his chance, and swung his RageClawBat™ when he got close enough, praying that it hit.

Summary of actions:-
1) Guard1 - 60 REFLECT, once
2) Movement: To CanoDumbC
3) RAGECLAW [6/6] - 40DMG, Slashing - CanoDumbC
Putting up a Guard to protect himself, Shisho had just enough time to reflect the Canodumb's shell fired at him, causing the damage to be directed back at the turret. It was then ripped in half by Shisho's weird bat-thing.

"Ou! Shisho's doing gooood! Just one more target practice to go! Gogogo!" Rini cheered as enthusiastically as any professional cheerleader, herself pointing at the virii from beyond the PET. "On it!" Shisho replied diligently, lifting the bat once more and floated gradually towards the sole surviving virii.

"Please provide me with the accuracy I need to finish this and not knock it out of range enough for it to kill me" Shisho muttered quietly, RageClawBat™ raised to a side angle before being swung at the face of the CanoDumb.


Summary of actions:
1) Move to CanoDumbB
2) SWING RAGECLAW [5/6] - 40DMG, Slashing - CanoDumbB

"Dohohohoho!" Rini laughed, a fist raised in triumph. "At this rate, nothing'll stop us, Shiiiiisho!" the girl added, picking up the PET and running in circles around the dining table.

"Y-yes!" Shisho couldn't reply with as much enthusiasm, because he was expecting something to happen next.

Then Rini fell face first into the carpet.

"Pfffff," Shisho left out a restrained laugh, to which Rini obviously disapproved of. "NO LAUGHING! K- ow-keep going!" Rini muffled with an angry tone. Shisho just gave a cheery nod and floated towards a random direction.


[[Battle 3 - ready]]
Two Spikies where laying down on a set of blankets on the ground, sleeping by a pair of OldStoves to keep them selves warmer. It wasn't until a certain navi's presence perked one of the canines ears and woke them up from their slumber, instantly causing them to become irritated and downright violent...What a jerk navi.

-BATTLE THREE, START!-
"D'awwwww aren't they cuuuute," Rini melted from the adorableness, twiddling her thumbs. "Um, Rini," Shisho started. "D'aww, look Shisho! They're staring at you with their cute eyes!" Shisho gave a stressed out face, wondering how to word this to his advantage.

"Riniiiiiiii, they're out to hurt meeeeeee?" Shisho said slowly, gently, watching the hostility rising in levels from the virii group. Then Rini went silent.

"YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU POOPHEADS ARE OUT TO GET SHISHOOOOO! I WON'T LET YOU!" Rini roared, almost deafening her Navigator in the process. "Not cute anymore! Nooooot cute anymore! Eat some Rini Bomb!" the child continued, flashily slotting in a brand new chip that she never used before. "Gogo, show them who is BOSS, Shisho! That would be ME!"

Shisho blinked at the data coming through, not knowing that they had such a powerful chip up their arsenal. But nevermind, thinking can come later! (as usual). Tracing a tiny circle in front of him with a finger, it was converted into a dimensional portal. Grabbing it like a disc, Shisho tilted it slightly so that the exit point was aimed at the virii group at a high angle. Then he covered both his ears, launching the Firebomb at the opponent. There was an explosion of some sort, but Shisho couldn't see the fruits of the attack as yet.

"And now for goooooard! And run away until you see what happened!" Rini hollered, and a Guard1 chip was on it's way to Shisho's databanks. Summoning the frontal shield once more, much like his previous enemy encounter, he added an extra bit to it-- he blinked and flashed for a moment there, as if that was a viable way of dodging.

"..."
"..."
"You're stuck, aren't you..."

Summary of actions:
1) FireBomb1 - 100 FIRE, Burn 10, Blast 1 - OldStoveA + any others
2) Guard1 - 60DMG Reflect, once
3) Dodge
Shisho's Firebomb flew through the air and landed directly in the Oldstove's mouth and sent the virus's core temperatures skyrocketing, causing it to burn up almost instantly and setting half the blanket on fire. The other viruses were smart enough to scatter away before beginning their counterattack. One Spikey launched a fireball but had it reflected back by a Guard (15). The Oldstove attacked next, belching out a line of fire that cracked the floor from the intense heat. Shisho tried to dodge but failed and was slightly singed (15). The other Spikey, late to join in the attacking spree, made a sad face when it missed with its projectile.
