Onsen madness.

The sky was clear that day. A few white, fluffy clouds lazed about in the blue. Moist earth underfoot fought off the continued presence of the baking sun as it was continually churned up by the actions of those who fought on its surface.

DragonierMan roared at the viruses for not dying as he spat flames at them. Null energy spheres blasted forth from his faceplate to torch the air and ground. Over and over again the warrior navi twisted and turned as he raged, stomping across the mud, his feet finding purchase on the ground where a lesser man might slip. He angled each shot to peg the quick viruses, streaming from him like a torrent.

His scales and aura had reasserted themselves as he began his tantrum. The air choked with stifling heat about him as his great white cloak flapped about. Flames licked out from his wounds, cauterizing the flesh and mending the metal. All the while he continued to spit orbs of light and death, shrugging off splashes of mud and iron-hard pucks.

Maribel darted around nimbly while Dragonierman launched his attack at the remaining foes. After a moment of dodging, she decided to add in her own shots, hoping not to hit the raging lizard in the process.

Picking the Mudfeesh as her target, she slips a large, pointed round into her rifle.

She breathed deeply and fired her shot, then quickly went back to moving around the battlefield, ready to take on what skillful survive is left after the volley.


Summary:
[Action 1: Dodge]
[Action 2: Aqua Cartridge - Heavy Water: Break + 20 Aqua Ranged to Mudfeesh]
[Action 3: Dodge]

The combination of DragonierMan's shotgun barrage and Maribel's one carefully aimed shot proved to be more than enough to combat the remaining viruses. When the smoke and mud settled, the viruses were gone and DragonierMan had gained some of his HP back.

DragonierMan shook the mud off himself like a dog. Then went through the tiring process of checking to see if his armor was on straight. Destin, on the other hand, was delighted in the notification that they had received such a large treasure trove of zenny. Though, there was still much to acquire before the next round of modifications were affordable.

When DragonierMan was satisfied, he turned to Maribel. Noticing her new chip data, he moved closer for a look. Then held out his right hand when he noticed what it was. The holo-image of his MagBomb1 battlechip formed and began to spin slowly in his palm.

"I want that chip."

He said pointing with his left index finger at the MudFlop1.

"I offer this bomb in exchange."

(Trade.)

After the fight, Maribel looked around a bit at the mess caused by the Mudfeesh.

"They're dirrttyyyyy~ All this mud! What an abomination of pristine and clean water." A look of utter disgust crossed her face. She kicked around at the earth around the mud, trying to cover it up an dry it out. As she kicked, the Mudflop1 chip popped out, causing her to be even more revolted. Obviously it had been left behind for her, a final taunting by the dirty and flopping Mudfeesh. In her revulsion, she barely noticed the lizards voice. Turning to him, she saw that Dragonierman was pointing at the chip in her hand while offering another with his other hand.

"Take it!" She shouted as she threw the Mudflop1 chip at the large reptilian Navi while grabbing the MagBomb1 with her other hand.

[edited for grammar]

Time sort of stood still for a moment as the data transferred between the two navis. It seemed like days before they moved again. When they did, they both were holding the others' battlechip, now belonging to them. Destin wasn't even paying attention to the whole exchange, as he was busy planning for how to best use the money to help his navi. DragonierMan smiled as he crammed the data into one of his many belt pouches. He swiveled a bit to scan the area around him.

"So... Want to cause more mayhem?"

He asked Maribel with the same feral grin hidden behind his relatively unadorned faceplate. Maribel had still yet to see the man behind the mask. Of course DragonierMan was referring to deleting viruses and causing general destruction to the surrounding terrain. Something both of them seemed to like doing.

Marry had always wanted to play with bomb chips, so she was quite excited about her trade. Why on earth anyone would want to flop around in the mud was beyond her, so she was also glad to have it out of her hands, lest Russel try to make her use it. She watched Dragonierman seemingly stretch his back before asking if she'd like to continue on their current path.

"Yeah, let's go~ We got this!" Her enthusiasm bubbled over as she danced a bit and made gestures of cheering and flexing.

[Requesting Battle 3]

"Charge!"

DragonierMan said as they both took off to go mess up viruses.

[Requesting Battle 3.]

Dragonier and Maribel came across a narrow walkway that split two different waters away from one another. The left pool provided the cool, refreshing sea water while the right provided the famous Yoka onsen. Though such a place would've been paradise for any tourists, the two navis were here to bust some viruses.

To their surprise, however, groups of viruses emerged out from the water while a swarm of Skeeters blocked the navi's narrow path!

Positioning herself so that Dragonierman was between her and the Skeeters, Maribel ran her fingers over the Magbomb for the 10th time since she had finished the trade. In her hands it looked like a regular hand grenade, but instead of the olive drab finish that one would find on real grenades, this net version was held a blue and yellow sparkle on the inside that shown through the casing. It tingled the Aqua Navi's fingers as she held it.

Eying the Marina's in the sea, she held the Magbomb tightly with one hand and pulled the pin with the other. Not trusting her arm, she drew her leg back, carefully planned her punt and dropped the explosive. Kicking with the flat of her foot, she launched the Magbomb towards the Sea terrain containing the Marina viruses.

Trusting the lizard to keep her back safe from the skeeters, she focuses her attention on the Marina's and Misty's, ready to avoid whatever the throw at her.

[Action 2 - Magbomb 1 - 30 elec damage + blast 2 + stun + 30 Elec for sea terrain to Marina A and B]

DragonierMan roared and dashed forward into the Skeeter swarm. A chromatic barrier of Null energy formed in front of him as he plowed across the thin strip of dry terrain. The warrior's exterior, plated itself in thorny metal scales that reflected the myriad of loud colors. His earlier fatigue faded to nothing more than a worthless memory as he drew upon his inner might to empower himself with draconic strength.

He flew through the viruses in a spacial pocket of death, drilling through the air, potentially deleting and/or scattering them to the winds. And as he continued his reckless, unheeded charge across the earthen ground he spread his arms to either side like great wings of muscle and metal. Energy collected in his palms until the light blinded and the crackling sound of the swirling eddies was audible to even the deaf. Taking a quick glance from side to side as he ran, in an effort to align himself between the two pools, one of sea and one of onsen, he smiled before unleashing this stored energy. The loud crack and boom of two relatively simultaneous shots rang out in the moist air, as he fired off twin gray-white bolts to his sides. The water parted and bloomed along the path of each shell.

This was followed quickly by two similarly timed explosions. The implosions of water to either side of DragonierMan might have been even enough to flood the divide, submerging the land and linking the two pools into one large pond. DragonierMan was still running though, shrugging off damage, so only a cursory glance over his shoulder and the lap of water at his heels would inform him of any change in the terrain.

Maribel started the battle off well, priming a grenade and punting it into the midst of the aquatic viruses. The blast engulfed them both, doing heavy damage and leaving them temporarily stunned. DragonierMan took a more direct route, tearing through the Skeeters with DashAttack and leaving two left afterward. The subsequent TankCannon blasts managed to eliminate both stunned Marinas and damage the ground beneath them, but the nigh-on formless Misty viruses were able to avoid the blast. One moved to envelop Maribel, but she got out of the way before it could do any damage.

"Those water viruses seem to be immune to direct attacks. Give Maribel this chip and finish off those swarms."

Destin ordered before DragonierMan ran in the other direction, toward Maribel. Through the swarms and over the beaten terrain. And once he got close enough, he reached out to hand her some battlechip data. It was a WideSword. It was nice and sharp.

"It's dangerous out here, use this."

DM then spun around toward the swarms and held out his hands as if to stop their advance. Power built up inside of him quickly, the raw energy bleeding out of the joints in his armor, collecting in his palms. The following unleashed hail of energy blasts poured out toward his foes. It was a bullet storm.

He then interposed himself between Maribel and the enemy. Daring them to harm her with a bestial roar and a clawed stance. His cloak billowing behind him.

Despite him not giving any sign about that he was coming, Maribel heard the indelicate clopping of Dragonierman's movements coming closer to her. She turned and quickly noticed the data in his outstretched hand. Reaching out to meet him, she grabbed the data with the tips of her fingers. Both navi's quickly turned back to their respective foes.

As she felt the data, she understood the weapons type and properties. Squeezing the data into her fist, a large blade erupted from her hand. It looked more like a giant...knife...than the widesword it was supposed to be. All military Navis knew close quarters combat with knives. Swords? Not so much. So when it came time to summon her weapon, she defaulted to a shape she knew.

Raising the blade at the misty that failed to envelope her, she hoped that the lizard was right. If not, she was going to look very silly slashing at thin air; not to mention be completely left open to assault. She then began to lash out with the large knife, slicing both at it and its cousin near by, hoping that her blade would find something to strike in the loosely knit forms of the Mistys.

Summary:
[Action 1 - Grab the WideSword Data from Dragonierman]
[Action 2 - WideSword - 80 + Slashing + Wide Attack to MistyA and Friends]
[Action 3 - WideSword - 80 + Slashing + Wide Attack to MistyB and Friends]

As the two navis ran off to take their own targets, the viruses was also ready to fight back as well. The Skeeters went off to strike DragonierMan as he ran towards Maribel, but his layers of defenses was able to ward them off. The Mistys, however, was much more lucky as it was able to land a solid hit on Maribel with their steaming fist. [-30]

Dragonier's rapid fire had shot down the two skeeters with no effort...But Maribel's Widesword attack just didn't do the job as it was only able to take down one of the two Misty viruses.

DragonierMan renewed his defenses and drew forth his own glowing sword, moving to flank the Misty virus. He first attempted to thrust the blade deep into the center of the cloud while it was distracted. Failing that he grabbed the blade with both hands and slashed across the body of the virus in a wide arc, trying to separate the Misty's upper torso from its lower half. Then he performed an 'X-Slash' from the upper left to lower right, then from the upper right to the lower left. Hopefully one such sword stroke would find purchase.

Reeling back a bit from the hit she took, she hams it up when she notices Dragonierman move in to flank. "You hit me you vacuous virus! But I see right through you! And I see -"She raises her widesword up to the Misty. "That guy behind you with a sword!" she shouts while making a quick slash with the last charge of her sword.

Dashing back, she forms a small syringe in her hand and jabs it into her leg. The pain from the Misty's attack vanished quickly.

Summary:
[Action 1 - WideSword - 80 + Slashing + Wide Attack to MistyB]
[Action 2 - Dodge away from the Misty]
[Action 3 - Recover30 - Heal 30 HP]

Poor lonely Misty...It never stood a chance.

DragonierMan's hand glowed with an awesome power as he assimilated the MistConvergence1. It was also one of the chips that Destin wanted, so it worked out pretty well. Though he was also pleasantly surprised about the abundant zenny drops, for he had plenty of purchases planned out. He opened a vid-window to Russel as DragonierMan began flexing.

"So, how are you enjoying this little stroll? By the way what time is it?..."

He looked at his watch. It was golden in color, even though it wasn't actually made of any gold, and digital. It had the month and day, but not year, displayed in the upper corner. A band ran underneath that showed the day of the week (sun/mon/tues/etc). Under that was the time in hours, minutes, and seconds.

"Huh, it's been over an hour. Did you have anything planned for today? Just wondering if you had the time to continue."

'Yes, we must go! I have a feeling that something is going to come up and we might be out of communication range for a little while. Farewell, lizardman. Let's do this again some time~" Maribel answered in place of Russel, who had forgotten how to respond in line.

With a wink and a bow, the blue navi faded out of the net, leaving the lizard behind.
