Exploring Yoka Net

Delta turned around, looking into the water for his target. As he readied his buster, he spotted its silhouette near the shore. He pointed his buster at the shape and fired twice, however the turbulence caused by the shots striking the water caused him to lose track of the virus.

Delta sighed and went back to scanning the pond for signs of his opponent. Meanwhile he steadied himself on the bridge. Suddenly, however, he went into a diving roll along the bridge to avoid an attack!

Delta waited and lined up his shots before firing into the pond. This time the Navi's aim was true and the barrage of buster blasts smashed into the swimming shrimpy just as it emerged from beneath the murky depths. The force of the impact sent the virus floating back through the water for a few feet before it vanished into a fine digital mist. Victory!

Rewards: 350z

Delta picked up the reward without looking at it, then began walking across the bridge, holding his arms out to keep his balance.

Henry looked at the reward, then said, "Only zenny. You were doing well up until that last virus though."

Delta sighed, then replied, "I got careless. Oh well. Hopefully we'll get a chip next time."

[Battle 2]

A short walk away from the onsen pool took Delta to a large roaring river, with sandy riverbanks lining its edges and a magnificent bridge closing the gap between the two banks, raised high above the flowing river. However, a look around revealed that the place's idyllic setting was spoiled by the presence of viruses; a Lark had commandeered the bridge, some Starfish were loafing around in the river, and there was something else on the other side of the bridge that Delta couldn't quite place.

-- BATTLE 02, READY? START!! --

Delta heard the river before he saw it, and as he approached he saw the lark on the bridge. Looking around, he saw the other three viri. He sent a message to Henry, saying, [Four viri. A bird, two starfish, and something else.]

Henry looked at the scene through the PET's camera, then pulled out a chip. "Right," he said, "Focus on the lark first. The rageclaw should take it down quickly."

Delta nodded and loaded the rageclaw with his left hand, manifesting claws attached to the glove's finger's and thumb. With a yell, he charged forward and slashed twice at the lark, from right to left and then bringing his hand upward slightly before the next blow to slice diagonally at his enemy. Although he was fished attacking, Delta stayed near the lark to press his advantage.

((Heya! If you have any questions about what some of the viruses look like, we have icons for most of them in the information database.))

Delta took the initiative and charged the fish-like virus that stood in his way. And it is a good thing that he did because his charge allowed him to rush ahead of the trio of bubbles launched through the air by one of the lounging Starfish. The Navi attacked, razor sharp claws raking the fish virus not once, but twice. The Lark reeled back in pain and fired off a counter of its own. Unfortunately, Delta was far too close to dodge and a wave of water smashed into the Navi.

Seeing the battle ensue, the Misty began its slow advance toward the bridge. It wasn't close enough to attack Delta yet, but it only needed to move forward a few more feet. Meanwhile, the second Starfish launched a wave of bubbles that floated just above its lazy form, providing a weak, but effective barrier.

Delta recoiled from the lark's attack, but quickly recovered and grabbed it with both hands. He then lifted the virus above his head, and looked around. Seeing that one of the starfish was unguarded, he hurled the lark towards it. There was a splash, but Delta was already looking towards the cloud of mist. He then said, [Send me a zapring, please,] to his operator.

Henry slotted in the chip, then said, "You've got it. The starfish probably isn't finished yet though."

Delta responded, [Yeah, but I'll deal with that later.] He then formed his left hand into his buster and loaded the chip, causing his buster to crackle with electricity. He took aim for the mist, and fired a small ring of energy, with expanded as it flew towards the unlucky target. As he finished firing, Delta stepped backwards to avoid an attack.

((Hey there! One quick thing, technically that throw there is a godmod, since the BattleMod has final say as to whether or not you are able to pick up the virus and throw it, along with whether said throw hits anything. Now, I know it is difficult to RP a throw effectively when you are limited to making sure you don't godmod. Keep in mind that saying things like "Delta attempted to latch his claws into the virus and lift him" as opposed to "Delta latched his claws into the virus' slick form and hurled him through the air" is perfectly acceptable. When in doubt, make sure your Navi is attempting instead of doing.))

Delta used his clawed gloves to latch onto the Lark's slippery, scaled body and lifted it into the air. Unfortunately, the fish-like virus opened wide its gaping mouth and bit down on Delta's forearm with agonizing force (15). The Navi shook his arm with all the enhanced strength he had left from the RageClaw battlechip and flung the virus into its comrade. The wounded Starfish responded with a second spray of bubbles that Delta narrowly avoided with a quick dodge.

Delta charged the Zapring, the golden loop humming with electricity, and hurling it toward the oncoming Misty. The virus accepted the hit, the electrical surge coursing through the water droplets that comprised the majority of its body. However, accepting the hit allowed the virus to advance on Delta and its boiling steam enveloped the Navi's outstretched arm (30).

The other Starfish spit out a second screen of bubbles as the first three popped. This rose up to cover both of the viruses sitting in the sea.

Henry took a worried glance at the PET's status monitor, then said, "Delta, get out of there. You're not going to survive too much longer."

Delta sighed, then said, "Fine." Whirling on one foot, he took off running away from the virii, zigzagging in an attempt of escape.

Summary:
ALL ACTIONS TO ESCAPING

Attempting to escape proved to be quite difficult for Delta, as the Misty did not leave him any room for escape. Engulfing his body with its searingly hot vapors, it brought his health to a critical one HP. The wounded Starfish kept on its assault, one of which damaged his systems enough to trigger the Emergency Jack Out system, ejecting the Navi from the network.
