Two skates, one net

Jayge's first Rageclaw attack slashed against the Nautilus's barrier and found surprising resistance. He couldn't follow through with the full rake of his blades and was forced to end his attack prematurely. Fortunately, the protective bubble popped open allowing Jayge full access to the soft, squishy Nautilus housed inside. He struck again and found cutting through the virus much easier on his hands. The virus squealed and summoned a pillar of water in retaliation, but the navi escaped with a sudden burst of speed that propelled him out of range. Immediately afterwards, he felt the strain from pushing himself and desperately needed some time to catch his breath. Meanwhile, the Nautilus replaced its protective bubble.

"Nicely done, just take it easy...okay?" Stephen said with a little concern...this was swiftly becoming habit.

"Yeah, I know...I hadn't counted on that shield being so resiliant..." Jayge muttered, keeping his claw close to hand, but deciding against pressing onwards, at least until he'd had a chance to catch his breath. He hopped backwards again, to get a little more distance, and then started running at an easy pace around the enemies. If they began to attack, he'd speed up and try to dodge, but for now he was concentrating on recovering for another attack.

The Cannons quickly picked up on Jayge's run, but their shots missed by a long shot as he ran swiftly away. The Nautilus fired a slow-moving Aquatower that did mostly nothing.

"Fancy footwork..." As usual, it was a little difficult to tell if Stephen was teasing or complimenting his Navi's performance.

"Lets just get this bloody shellfish out of the way." Jayge groaned, feeling ready to launch another attack now.

He closed in on the Nautilus as he had the first time, hoping to avoid the canodumb's sights with his movements, but concentrating mainly on just reaching the target. Jayge stopped short in front of the aquatic Virus, first bringing his claw up to tear at it's shield, having decided against trying to score a hit at the same time after the results of his last attempt, and settled now for hesitating for an instant before following up with a second, downward swipe.

His hopefully well-measured attacks complete, he rolled forwards, around the Nautilus and rose to his feet as quickly as he could, breaking into another short sprint in the hope of both evading, and getting into a better position from which to launch his next attacks.

Actions:
RageClaw: Nautilus (40dmg)

With another pair of fast slashes, the Nautilus and its bubble were torn asunder leaving only the two Canodumbs remaining. Neither of them bothered to attack this turn making Jayge's sprint a pointless jog around the viruses.

"Are they taking me seriously?" Jayge muttered, why hadn't the cannons tried to hit him?

"Well, someone needs to lighten up around here.." It was obvious that the Operator was teasing this time.

"And someone needs to stop goofing off. Get the shotgun ready." The Navi replied tersely.

Jayge moved in on the canodumbs to get one last attack out of his claw, he ran past the first, slashing to his side broadly to try and hit the turret, then sidestepping around, turning, and bringing his claw down for a final, diagonal slash at the same cannon's back.

As he rose from the last attack, he turned to face the last cannon, his buster loaded and ready with the shotgun chip, continuing the fluid motion to level the weapon at his target, firing one shot straight at it, hoping to end this battle here and now.

Rageclaw: CanodumbA (40dmg)

The Cannons were unable to move from their positions, making them easy targets for Jayge's attacks. Again, they didn't attack and mostly went down without a fight. A small amount of zenny and a Cannon battlechip were left behind after the battle routine ended.

"Score~" Stephen laughed, letting out a short sigh of relief, "You did great."

"Thanks...lets pick up the spoils and move on, the extra chip will come in handy later." Jayge nodded, flicking his visor back up to his forehead. His buster-arm returned to normal and he scooped up the rewards of that battle with a short smile, that had gone quite well, he thought as he continued on, further into the network.
Jayge soon arrived at the site of another turret virus. It was facing the other way and remained that way as the Navi approached. Once he got a few feet away from it, two ghostly viruses appeared on either side of it and stuck out their tongues. From behind him, a large fish virus floated up and produced an arrow from its mouth. This was going to be a little harder than it had first looked.

"Jayge...be careful." Stephen warned, entirely serious for once.

"At least you'll not get bored in the spectator seat...send me the shotgun first, but keep the other chips ready...I think I'll need them." The Navi had his doubts about how possible this fight would be, but he felt he at least had a chance...kinda

He equipped the shotgun first, already on his feet and moving, he fired one shot at the Canodumb, making use of it's stationary position to better his chances of making the shot count. One less virus from the outset would help his chances a lot here, and if, by some stroke of luck, one of those ghoulish Spookys decided to pop up behind it and get caught in the aftermath, all the better.

He turned his attention next to the Piranha, remembering his last ordeal with the aquatic virus quite vividly. He immediately switched to his RageClaw, running towards the virus and attempting a quick lateral swipe, followed by a forward roll from which he regained his footing quickly. He knew that the Spookys would likely be beyond him to dodge entirely, he couldn't keep track of them both at once, while fending off another Virus...he braced himself for the worst.

Actions:
Shotgun: Canondumb (50dmg) [attempted Spread hit on SpookyA/B]
RageClaw: Piranha (40dmg)
Dodge
Starting off, Jayge blasted the Canodumb with his Shotgun as the Spooky moved in for the kill. Dodging backwards and slicing at the Piranha, he fell straight into the line of fire of the virus, getting hit by one of the Piranha's trident shots. (20)
