Hunting for Information

Alphonse stood still as his glass went stray into the air. His eyes was shadowed by the way he tilted his eyes, but slowly came to face towards the Cybeast. Alphonse's silver eye was blazing with a deadly look mixed with the personality Alphonse barely showes, anger. K was dumb struck by the strange image of Alphonse, the navi who was calm, collective, and blithe even in battle was this serious now. Not even a fraction of a second could follow the speed of the hook and uppercut he threw at the Cybeast's giant body. Immedately following his punches Alphonse leaped up and shifted his leg to aim at the Cybeast's head, ready to send a slashing jump-kick head-on. After Alphonse' combo, he quickly prepared his body for evasive combat.

Actions:
1: Rapier Punch [12/Fire/Buster] @ Cybeast
2: Rapier Punch [12/Fire/Buster] @ Cybeast
3: Halberd Impaler [60/Fire/Raises chance to Evade/SigAtk] @ Cybeast
4: Prepare to evade
Nump~
((MOD-JACK))

Alphonse's attacks all land, but as the creature charges, head lowered, he swiftly dodges the left horn... and into the right. The blow is jarring, but mostly superficial.

???: 766 HP

Alphonse: 117
Alphonse only flinched as his stomach got a direct hit from the Cybeast's dire tackle and he was thrown to the other side of the battle field. He quickly recovered from the attack, still having the fresh expression on his face, equipped rage claw onto both of his gauntlets. Raising his blood hungry claws, Alphonse dashed with all his might and aimed his knife-like fingers straight towards the Ox. Alphonse gave a quick twirl with his hand and tried to land two slashes onto the Cybeast's torso as he did last time with his fist. Just when the Cybeast was about to retaliate, Alphonse thrusted his claws straight towards the pair of those proud horns the Cybeast had. Alphonse was attempting to take a firm grab to the horn and throw it across the field, trying to throw off the Cybeast's attack "rhythm". Alphonse slowly grasped his fingers and prepared to evade the attacks once more.

Actions:
1: RageClaw Slash [40+10 (Untapped Power)/Close-combat/Grapple] @ Cybeast
2: RageClaw Slash [40/Close-combat/Grapple] @ Cybeast
3: RageClaw Grapple Throw [20/Close-Combat] @ Cybeast. Attempting to throw off the Cybeast's offence.
4: Prepare to evade.
Lump
((Hey, who you calling a lump? ;P))

Alphonse let's loose a rapid flurry of blows against the creature, attempts to throw it around are fuitle, however, it's much to big. the beast takes another charge, but Alphonse dodges.

Suddenly, a HeelNavi comes up of a ridge. "HEY! I FOUND BARANGUF!" he yells back over his shoulder. "GET THE EQUIPMENT READY!" Suddenly, four more HeelNavis flank the first, and one spots Alphonse. Pointing him out to the leader, then starting to get his weapons ready, the leader holds up his hand. "Listen, rookie. We let Baranguf be distracted by that punk while we do our work. If there's anything left, then we smash him."

'Baranguf' notices the group too, and opens his mouth, and fires a massive amount of what can only be described as concentrated darkness at the Heelnavis. When the light returns, only three Navi's are left.

?Baranguf?: 666 HP

Alphonse: 117

HeelNaviLeader: ???
HeelNaviA: ???
HeelNaviB: ???
Alphonse stood stolid while keeping his harsh eyes and atmosphere intact. His finger twitched and the claw slowly disintegrated into bits of datas, exchanging it with a large barreled gun. "K...". K's eye grew wide when he heard Alphonse talking back. It should be a normal response since this was the first time for K to see him like this. "Er...Yea?", "Send in all of the Heatshots", "...". K slowly reached onto his pocket and looked through the handful of chips he grabbed, sorting out three crimson chips. K looked up towards his PET to see Alphonse, still unmoved and surrounded by ominous atmosphere, and slid in the chips all at once.

When the chips loaded onto Alphonse, his gun flared with furious flame and grew even more by the seconds. Alphonse dashed with his gun pointed low and rushed towards Baranguf, he was planning to take full advantage of the Cybeast's slow reflex and deal as much damage as he can afflict. It was just before when it looked as if Alphonse was about to tackle the Cybeast with his body, he swung his heavy gun to negate his speed with the momentum. As soon as he regained his balance, Alphonse pulled the trigger once and twice, releasing a hammering blast straight to the stomach of the beast.

"Awesome! Now let's shoot down those He—"

"You fool, we do not want to make anymore enemies as we fight that Ox. Besides, they'll use me like a pawn till they find an opportunity..."

"...What's gotten into you"

Alphonse kicked the ground and dashed backwards, but, Alphonse did not make waste of his time and shot yet another blast of heatshot as he was backing away. Alphonse landed and looked down to find his glass lying next to him. He reached down to grab his glass but rather than wearing it, he put it in his inner jacket pocket and looked straight towards Baranguf preparing to dodge the charge.

Actions:
1: Heatshot (Close-Range) Blast [45+10/Fire/Spread] @ Baranguf
2: Heatshot (Close-Range) Blast [45/Fire/Spread] @ Baranguf
3: Heatshot Blast [45/Fire/Spread] @ Baranguf
4: Prepare to evade
Pump (I'm running out of Puns here...)
((Sorry.))

Alphonse fires shot of heat over and over, the first two hit, but Baranguf dodges the third, and gives Alphonse a gut full of horn for his trouble.

The HeelNavi's use the distraction to get into position, quickly erecting several peices of equipment. "Yo, ugly!" one yells to the creature, and as Baranguf turns, he fires another blast of darkness at them. This time, however, the rays of darkness refract, bending inward on themselves, causing a slight fizzle as the attack was nullified. Suddenly, the equipment flashes to life, firing light beams around the beast, caging it.

As Alphonse looks on, two of the injured HeelNavi's cart off the pasified creature. The third comes to Alphonse. "Listen, punk. We've got some real fragile cargo, now, so we can't be offin' ya today. Just hear this: You'd better not be telling nobody what you seen today, else yous be bringing the whole NetMafia to your doorstep. We have eyes and ears everywhere, kid." Laughing like a maniac, the HeelNavi runs off to help his comrades.

Victory?

Reward: 1000 Zenny
((No need to be sorry :3))

Alphonse stared with his blank eyes towards the "NetMafia" while he was explaining his about the situation. He takes the bribe from the navi and started to walk towards the Netopian Square.

"...You ok?"

Alphonse slowly reached for his pocket and finally placed it on his eyes.

"I'm perfectly fine, bit shacken by those terrible horns."

K sighed in relief and smiled back.

"Alright. Let's head back for the mission."
