Holoß: TV RepairNavi

Sweet! Holo inwardly whooped, collecting the reward data. Though the chip wasn't that great for him at the moment, during a quick training run while he was participating in the ONB Tournament, he had become determined to strengthen his buster. This chip was yet another reason for him to prod Aelieth to spend their busting earnings on buster upgrades. With a new chip and a pocketful of zenny, Holo pushed further into the network, still on the lookout for the source of the TV's malfunction.

Though Holo tirelessly searched for the source of trouble, the setting sure wasn't helping him. With a double combination of both onsen's steams and the heat of the coal made things almost unbearable. To make things worse, two sets of Puffies emerged out from the two terrains and blocked Holo's path!

-Coal (Right)-
Puffy-F A: 100 HP
Puffy-F B: 100 HP

-Onsen (Left)-
Puffy-A A: 100 HP
Puffy-A B: 100 HP

Terrain:
50% Onsen
50% Coal

Holoß.NET: 140 HP [Onsen]
Holo started to feel green around the gills (greener than normal, anyway) as the combination of heat and steam started to wear on his projectors. Already the whir of the cooling fans had doubled in volume, and showed signs of growing ever louder as the fans continued to push to maintain a workable temperature. "Don't worry, Holo," Aelieth said upon noticing his Navi's plight, "we'll get you out of there fast enough that there shouldn't be any permanent damage." Selecting three of his chips from the pile he slotted them in to the PET, adding a "Battle chips incoming," as he did so.

Now slumped forward as the sauna he found himself wore on his hardware, Holo tried to assess the situation. Two of the viruses floated over what looked like hot coals, and while he was sure the ground wouldn't hurt him that bad, he didn't want to add more heat to his load unnecessarily. So, he opted for the other pair to be the target of his first attack. Activating the chip, the projection Navi decided to mix things up a bit and transformed into the aerodynamic form of a rocket car. The nozzle at the end of the car roared into flame as Holo streaked towards the virus, two other rocket vehicles trailing slightly behind (and somewhat inside) him. Screaming through the group, Holo shifted back to his normal form before he losing his speed, causing him to skid to a halt. Once his feet were solidly placed, he rolled to the side and landed in a kneeling position, now sporting an peculiarly wide mouthed bazooka. An old timey military bucket helmet plopped down upon his head and, with a look that screamed FIRE IN THE HOLE!!! he fired the weapon, releasing a gushing torrent of water towards the duo of viruses floating over coals.

Tossing the now spent weapon aside, Holo then hunkered down behind a freshly formed riot shield, the bucket helmet still perched, though slightly lopsided, atop his head.

As Holo ripped through the Puffies, his uncontrollable dash made the navi tackle straight through the bubble fired by the Puffies...Thankfully, his barrier was able to ward them off and leave the navi uninjured. His rockets was able to half its job when only one of the Puffy-A was deleted.

The next attack was nothing but a waste as well when the wideshot simply crashed into one of the bubbles and stopped the attack to a halt...

Holoß.NET: 140 HP [Onsen] [Barrier Destroyed] [Guard]
Holo was crestfallen that his assault was effectively countered by these odd viruses. His hard-light barrier reasserted itself over his insubstantial limbs. It was odd, having to deal with what were essentially bouncing barriers.

Aelieth, monitoring the situation from the monitor on the PeT, reached for another chip and slotted it in with an audible CLICK! "Full on assaults don't seem to work on these guys," he noted, "It looks like you're going to have to dance around their attacks to hit them."

Holo hefted the Guard that still rested on his left arm, straightened the helmet (which promptly disappeared once he had done so), and activated his next chip. Immediately a break-action, double-barreled shotgun appeared in his right hand, the barrels currently levered down to expose two empty holes. Data streamed into the action, materializing as twin shells glowing with raw busting power. Picking his targets, Holo snapped the action closed with a flick of his arm before holding the riot shield before him and advancing on the red Puffy's. Taking care to avoid the Coal panels, Holo ran to line the duo up in an optimal cone of fire, rolling under the flaming bubble as it bounced skyward and resting the barrel of his weapon on top the rapidly resizing shield. He fired, sending a spray of regular and holographic shot hurtling towards the bloated viruses, then dodged to the side to avoid any retaliation.

Feeling the eyes of the remaining aqua Puffy upon him, he arched his projectors in a peculiar manner and give it a glare that, if looks could kill, would at least savagely maim. In fact, a focused beam of "COME AT ME, BRO!!!!" shot across the gap between him and the virus with enough force to knock the air out of those with weak constitutions.

Holo made the extra effort to align himself and the Puffies while trying to ignore the incoming bubbles...but things didn't work out as they hoped. Though the shotgun shells passed the bubbles, the angle of the projectile wasn't on the spot to hit the two viruses. It was the same with the holo-bullets, when one collided against one of the bubble while the other hit the targeted virus.

For the wounded Puffy-A, however, was flashed by Holo's pure ego-stare and simply disintegrated in the green onsen water.

Holoß.NET: 140 HP [Onsen] [Guard] [Barrier DESTROYED]
Not wasting any time, Holo charged the remaining two viruses, a momentary flash of brightness engulfing him as his hard-light barrier once more encased him. He moved with such speed that Aelieth only had time to slot in one chip before he was upon them, but it would definitely be more than enough to get the job done.

An ornate, foot long dagger appeared in his right hand. The edge of the weapon was keen and positively wept moisture as he began slashing at the nearest virus. Snicker-snack went the blade as he struck once, then once again. Water arced from each blow, sending a cascade of water droplets to the scalding coals below. Amidst these strikes, a ghostly arm lashed out with its own knife, eager to pierce and slash and rend.

After assaulting the closest foe, he rolled to the side in an evasive maneuver and, from a now crouched posture, rose up to cut at the belly of the other Puffy. As his weapon raced through its deadly arc, a second dagger gave chase, following its brother towards the hapless fish.

Holo sliced open the second Puffy. It exploded in a rather gory spray of lava. The other virus, terrified for its life, spat a bubble of flame that bounced across the coals toward Holo. He easily slid around it and hacked the Puffy in half down the middle.

"Very nice," Aelieth whistled, downloading the new chip data. Holo nodded in agreement, then looked around with a perplexed expression. He could swear he could hear something off in the distance. It didn't sound like viruses, he could tell that much. Was that... canned laughter?

Now that he wasn't crouched over his PeT, Aelieth could hear it, too. Apparently, not only had the TV turned back on, but it had been running for quite a while. "Heh, oops. Guess I got kind of caught up with virus busting," he grinned, somewhat sheepishly. Holo didn't mind, of course; he had been wanting to kick some virus booty for a while now. As Aelieth's eyes fell on the bottom corner of the screen, however, he gave a little start.

"Holy crap, it's that late already?! We're going to miss checkout! Holo, jack-out! We've got to get going or they'll charge us for another day!"

With a flash, Holo left the inner network of the TV behind, ready to end this vacation and get back to some regularly scheduled busting.
