Killing a bit of Time

"This navi is annoying!" Keera had bellowed lowly so Wes wouldn't here her from afar. Empress had heard her NetOp's frustration transmission that was enough to rattle her nerves as well. She placed a hand on her forehead as she had shook it once more feeling disoriented, but even so, she found the strength to stand.

Empress had narrowed her eyes as she had folded her arms once again after hearing the sound of Junior's voice telling her to be careful. She showed that usual carefree attitude as she simply glared at him and then turned her head back to the enemy. "Just don't get in the way..." She had noted towards him before staring down her game show host threat. She was ashamed to be fighting such a battle right now. A queen, a pervert, and a tacky dressed man was on stage. Stopping there it sounded like a bar joke. "How humiliating..." she uttered to herself.

Her eyes narrowed as her special ability had came back into play. Her body's very aura becoming distorted as a strong pull came from her body like it was gravity ripping at someone's flesh at their skin. Her distortion around her had aimed for Hostman once again to snatch away some of his life by trying to damage his very frame and convert his data pieces into a source for Empress's recovery process as she tried draining him of life.

The headache, or Junior to be exact, was having too much fun playing the game show. Empress could only look over her shoulder to try to avoid being in his aim anyhow. For his sake, he better hoped that every attack missed her since he was getting carried away with this. "Shall we send you for another fall?" Empress asked as she threw up her hand pointing to another ringlog before noticing it had fallen from the stage lighting again, but this time she held it by placing her boot on it while keeping her arms folded and glaring towards Hostman after stepping from behind the Windbox to get in place to attack. "Don't be such a klutz." she had said as she kicked the log off to roll it his way so that it would slip him up hopefully this time since she was sure not to roll it to knock over Junior who would complain. Hearing his voice was getting a bit annoying since he was so afraid of her giving some friendly fire without care.

Without another word, Empress had raised her right hand in front of her face revealing the back of the soft gloved black texture on it. Soon, all that was visible was the large yellow shield with the familiar green Met cross on it's surface. Empress had kneeled down to hold her ground while the wind blew harshly from her Windbox chip to distort the enemy's accuracy.

((For the record, you can't USE your chips, but the ones you tried to use this turn that got blocked aren't burned out.))

Junior zapped Hostman, freeing him from the bubble, but he teleported out of the way of the Mistconv. When Hostman reappeared moments later, Junior's Markcannon blasted him. Junior shot at him with his Soul Finger Shot... but he teleported out of the way again!

Junior went to throw up his RiskyHoney1...

...but nothing... happened...?

Empress' sig attack managed to drain a little life from Hostman, but her chips were similarly useless.

The duo looked at Hostman, and found him standing beside some odd, thin virus with a horn-like nose... mouth... thing... blowing out some form of music that they couldn't seem to hear.

Hm.

Hostman: 2070
Silence: 50 (1 turn remaining!)

"Blasphemy!" Empress had called as she had found her chips to not come to her aid. She had winced at the sight of nothing happening before she would begin to look up looking to see the small horn mouthed shaped virus putting on a loud show with it's horn blowing mightily. She could easily deduct that the music was blocking their chips, but that was because she was accustomed to this sort of virus.

"I see...a silence chip would create these things. Afterwards, their music will make a rip through the air that silences all transfers of battlechip data and halting it's usage." Empress had said as she had lifted narrowed her eyes bitterly after shaking her head slightly to be rid of the dizzy feeling. "Let me take care of this!" Empress said as she had reached out her arms and then let her space around her act like a blackhole as it commenced to suck in data from Hostman to rebuild her own damaged body.

She had leapt to the side of Junior as she had lifted her left arm making a purple orb show as it glowed in her palm. She aimed letting out one small blast of her force buster as it closed in on Hostman, but it was only a distraction as she had reached behind her back to grasp the collective bundle nylon behind her back letting it to unfold as the tip of it hit the ground.

"Stand back!" Empress had called as she had whipped that same arm from behind her back and crack the nylon rope that was actually a whip. She had made the piercing sound go off as she had whipped it forward watching as it lashed out to strike the Silence virus, and then she had whipped her arm back as she had moved it elegantly before casting again with all her might to strike the virus once more.

"Now...attack!" Empress had commanded towards Junior as she had moved the whip around like it was some kind of dance ribbon as she stayed ready to counter any attack Hostman would use with a mighty crack of her whip to knock the attack from the air if needed.

"This gameshow is so stupid... its obvious they don't even want to give you the chance to win. What's the prize, a million zenny, that he's making it this hard?" Wes muttered, "Junior, ditch that suit. If the host has a problem with it, he can fornicate himself with a hatchet. Actually, he can do that regardless."

"I really hope the censor catches that, Wes. We don't really know the target audience. Not that this much violence is much better... Perhaps some wholesome values would be a good idea after all." Junior commented. Now what to use. He had already used his aqua cross, so that was still recharging. That left normal, but what subtype would be best? Wind or Sword? As he thought it over, he sensed another form, one he hadn't tried before. It had the same element/subtype combo as him, too. He'd go with that and make the Untapped Power his edge. Right now, he needed power.

Junior's looks began to alter. His boots and gloves turned cream colored and a golden rim appeared on the top of his glasses. He gained a cream chest piece with the outline of a monkey's head appeared on the back. His ponytail elevated itself a bit, extending from his head at a sixty five degree angle. He also grew a purple monkey tail, which extended from just above his buttox. A red staff appeared in his hands, "This sure beats those studio clothes... Now then, the Power of Love and Friendship! It's time to get serious!" He pointed the staff menancingly at his opponent, though the gesture was a feint. He was quickly pouring energy into his emblem, which, despite his transformation, still adorned his chest. Shoving in some extra energy, he then fired a sparkling beam of light at the host, hopefully blinding him in the process. He then took notice of what his ally was doing.

It seemed that in the way of power, Empress didn't have much besides her chips. Her strategy for this round seemed to be stunning the Silence so that he would be able to let loose with his attacks. However, if she had failed, his moves would be just pointless floundering. He would be better off sticking with the two attacks he had left. He glanced at his countbomb. It was so close to going off, that it could probably finish off the silence in the same time it would take him. He'd leave the assist alone and just pummel the host.

Junior ran forward and spiked his pole into the ground. He then grasped it in both hands and began to run around it hyperactively, soon reaching a high velocity. He then jumped from the ground, still holding on, and began spinning around. He swung out his legs, preparing to kick his opponent in the face. He circled once, twice, three times, kicking once for every rotation. Then, before he could lose his momentum, he ripped the pole from the ground and went into the air in a huge leap. As he hung mid air, he summoned his hammer and held it above his head. As he fell, he aimed to land beside the host and deliver a blow to split open his cranium. Two yards from the ground, he slammed the weapon's head down, in an earthshattering move, touching the floor beside it a second later. He then raised the hammer again and swung three more times in an effort to throughly bash his foe. Then, with all his moves spent, Junior backed off. He didn't want to resort to using his normal attacks just yet, so for now, he would spend the rest of his energy avoiding attack.

Hostman seemed like he was about to step forward-

-When suddenly he stopped, a shocked look on his face.

"They're what? WHAT? WHAAAAAT?! Ergh, blast it!" He slammed his fist into his palm, and then gave off a tsk. "There's an emergency going on in Electown. Your operators should've gotten a message as to such right about now... so the show's... cancelled... for the moment." He bowed apologetically, then raised a hand towards each of the duo. "Come back and try again some time, yeah?"

There was a flash of light, and Empress and Junior were sent back to their PETs.
