Yay Netopia!
Far away, the Bashers prepared their cannons and open fired. With such widespread attack, it broke the barrier that surrounded the BMD and barely damaged TennisMan, but didn't happen due to the shield.

Tennisman announced his chip request with an air of apathy, "Ringlog."
Having already positioned himself to strike, Tennisman unleashed one tumbling log from behind the BombBoys before pivoting to attack the other two with a second log. It was the most effective way to deal with the stragglers that Tennisman could think of without dealing too much collateral damage. He worried about the mystery data but didn't want to place its safety over his own. He was already reluctant to provide it with an Overwrap but was relieved that he did considering it protected it from a blast from the Magnums. For a moment he wondered if the viruses placed any sort of priority towards attacking it instead of him.
"Tennisman!" Deuce snapped, "Focus!"
The navi quickly weighed the threat of the two groups to either side of him. To the north, a group of four N.O.s hovered with crossed arms and to the south, a trio of heavy duty Bashers staunchly stood. The Brushman viruses were the least of his worries but could still interfere with his plans if he wasn't careful. Not giving it much thought, Tennisman arbitrarily ran towards the N.O.s rather than waste more time deliberating.
There was a ring of lava that circled his grass tennis court like a moat. Tennisman leapt, trying to clear the obstacle in a single bound. As he landed, he immediately dashed to one side, trying to keep from being hit as he advanced. To add to his tactics, he began smashing quickfire serves at the viruses as he ran, trying to disrupt their aim.
"What chip?" Desmond asked, "Moonblade?"
Tennisman nodded in agreement and picked up the pace. The dagger appeared in his hand on his final approach and his hand darted out in an oblong arc towards three of the N.O.s. Tennisman spun around and aimed his arm cannon at the fourth and cried out, "MarkCannon!"
His buster locked on and fired a quick round before reformatting back to its regular hand shape.

The remaining BombBoys was crushed by the RingLogs and TennisMan proceeded towards the N.O. viruses. Noticing the the harm the navi can do to them, they began firing their lasers at him, but none of it really made a clear shot. First, they were shot by TennisMan's quick serve and sliced by the Moonblade or shot down by the MarkCannon. One of them was lucky enough to be just out of the Moonblade range and fired another laser, but it strayed away and hit the BMD instead!
Even before the navi could take a single breath in, the brushman got their gears rolling and painted the surrounding areas with ices. Didn't look too troublesome, until one of them got right next to TennisMan and painted a Magnet panel that slugged the navi's movement to a near-halt! The situation got worsened when the Bashers prepared for another attack!

"Kunai." Tennisman said.
With ninja-like precision, he flicked a chain of knives at the surviving N.O. without a second thought. He had bigger problems to deal with and couldn't stick around dealing with a single virus. Across the field, a bigger threat loomed with blazing cannons.
"Bashers?" Deuce asked.
Tennisman didn't reply and simply ran towards them, taking note of their positions in the distance as well as the horribly mutilated terrain that hindered his movement. First he had to clear the ice to reach the river of lava that encompassed his broken tennis court before clearing another lava line.
It looked easy enough.
The ice made running difficult, but at the very least it let him pick up speed easily. He skidded over the surface in long strides as he approached the lava line. He imagined that skipping over the surface quickly would limit the pain he would have to endure but preferred not to suffer altogether. As he reached the end of the frozen patch, he leapt again to try and land on the grass.
Continuing ahead, Tennisman stuck his racket out to the mystery data again, calling for Deuce's signature, "Overwrap."
"Again?" Deuce groaned and set up another quick barrier as he tapped the tip of the crystal.
Tennisman kept running. The Bashers were growing closer and more clear. Tennisman estimated he could shoot them at this range and readied his buster again.
"Fireburn." Tennisman requested.
The chip slotted in and altered his gun to a flamethrower barrel. Tennisman swiped his hand at the viruses, painting a jet of flames across his opponents. He continued to pour on the the fire for good measure as he ran though it made the Bashers hard to see through the fiery output. He hoped it would make him equally difficult to lock onto. As the attack finished, Tennisman found himself in close proximity to the viral gun batteries. He grabbed his racket with a double handed grip and charged in.
"Windracket!" Desmond called out as he slotted in the chip.
With a huge swipe of his racket, Tennisman struck. A wall of wind crashed forward, collapsing in on itself to form a thunderous crushing sound that reverberated through the air. The chip effect ended quickly, letting Deuce relax for a moment.

"Shit. That was rough." Desmond said, "What else we gotta take out?"
Tennisman scanned the area and saw nothing but Brushman viruses and a multicoloured floor. He was still feeling sick from the poison but answered, "Six Brushmen remain."
"That's it!?" Desmond said in disbelief.
"Why?" Deuce asked, detecting something off, "Are you planning something?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna head out and buy some stuff." Desmond said, "It's been a pain to get here and I don't wanna jack you out and start from the jack in point again. I don't even remember where we started."
Deuce was hesitant to believe the "...Wait, you can't be seri-"
"He is gone." Tennisman said.
"Can we really do this alone?" Deuce asked.
Tennisman took in another deep breath, the familiar smell of sporty verdancy reinvigorating him. He looked at his opponents and looked at his racket.
"We can do this together." Tennisman said and readied himself for combat.
He took out a tennis ball from his clip and prepared for a power serve. There were no limitations here and he could unleash the full power of his attack with no reservations. Taking aim at the closest Brushman, he gave the ball a light toss upwards and slammed his racket forward to deliver a lightning speed impact. The ball became a yellow streak as it shot towards the virus. Tennisman followed up the attack with a low level version of his Ace Serve. He wasn't tired at all and he felt as if he could keep his attack up all day.
He had really grown since he started virus busting and knew that he would only continue to get stronger. That thought filled him with pride but also a sense of fear of what was to come.
"Hey!" Deuce barked, "Attention! You must to pay it!"
Tennisman passed an odd glance at his racket.
"PAY ATTENTION! BRUSHMEN. TERRAIN." growled Deuce.
Nodding once, he watched his opponents, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Ugh, where could Desmond have gone..." Deuce groaned.
There wasn't enough time to pause and touch the ground with his hand so he dragged Deuce across the floor, using him as a conduit for his secondary terrain change.
"Hey! What are you-" Deuce uttered.
Where Deuce's head touched down, sand spread out and over the grass and overtook Tennisman's pace, racing under the mystery data where the lava threatened to swallow up the crystal. Tennisman found himself slowed from the sand but at least the data was safe for now. As he reached it, he tapped Deuce to it for a third time and erected yet another barrier around it. Hopefully, this one wouldn't have the chance to be broken as well.
Sand grains trickled down Deuce's strings as he added, "Please don't do that again."
This was it. Tennisman crouched down and set up his net in an arbitrary direction in a futile effort to stall the viruses before resuming his counter offensive. He prepped another ball and gave it a fierce serve at a random virus while waiting for them to come to him. Deuce stitched up some of Tennisman's injuries while the pair made their final stand on the dusty desert patch. Tennisman was ready to pick up the data and make a run for it but there was no safe spot to escape to. He needed to finish the battle soon if he had any hopes of unlocking his prize.
"Desmond, hurry up..." Tennisman wished under his breath.

Lobbing a cluster of tennis balls into the air, Tennisman weaved his racket in a blinding series of swings that created a veritable barrier around him. As the balls descended on the whirling arcs of his racket's path, they were struck towards another one of the Brushmen to the east. The viruses on the western front hadn't really made a move but considering that they all looked the same to him, he couldn't be sure. He could still recognize the ones he had attacked though. They sported rather large dents in their narrow broom-like bodies.
"He's been gone for a while and we haven't even taken out ONE of these guys yet." Deuce noted.
"Hey, sup." Desmond said.
"YOU!" Deuce shouted, "Where did you run off to!?"
"I'll tell ya later. Let's bust these guys first," Desmond said, "Here, Heatshot those two on the right."
The pleasant flow of chip data being slotted in renewed Tennisman's resolve to finish this battle quickly. Taking aim at the pair he had injured, Tennisman fired the two searing bolts of fire at his targets. To his left, three viruses waited for him to come to them. He was more than happy to oblige and made his way across the sand.
"Elecpulse and Windracket." Tennisman requested.
The electricity of his first chip charged in his right hand. It slowly built up strength to produce a low hum but with no visible effects. As he left the edge of his dune, he picked up his jogging pace, dashing to close in on the viruses. Pushing his hand out, a wave of magnetic pulses washed out in chaotic ripples. Tennisman was skeptical that it would be enough to finish them and he charged the other chip. Wind swirled around the face of his racket and he swiped it at the survivors, blasting up a powerful tornado that dissipated as quickly as it formed.

"Nice." Desmond noted.
Tennisman nodded and took a breather, trying to regain his composure. He had almost forgotten why his operator had left while he rested but Deuce was not so quick to dismiss it.
"Where did you go!?" Deuce snapped, "You left us high and dry to do what? Use the facilities?"
"Naw, I bought some stuff." Desmond replied.
"Bought some stuff." Deuce repeated flatly, "You left us alone to go shopping."
"Yeah yeah." Desmond said rather smugly.
Deuce tried to voice all of his complaints at the same time, "How... What exactly was... I can't..."
"What did you buy?" Tennisman asked.
"UPGRADES! SO MANY UPGRADES!" Desmond declared and proceeded to install them into his PET.
One after another, various memory enhancements and program extensions filled Tennisman's being. He felt hardier and faster and stronger with each new update. As the final HP Memory was installed, he took in a deep breath with his new body. It looked exactly the same from the outside but it had undergone massive changes on the inside. Similarly, Deuce adapted some of the bugfrags they had been collecting into a series of small upgrades for himself as well.
"Everything running okay?" Desmond asked.
Tennisman stared at his hands and feet, feeling them pulse with new power, "I feel incredible."
"Yeah, I slotted in an extra MiniEnergyPack." Desmond added, "So that's probably why. You ready to go test out the new you?"
Tennisman nodded and dashed off.

((Battle 15))
TennisMan walked along the deserted Netopian area, so quiet that one could hear their own heartbeat. With no sign of viruses nor of a netbody, he truly wondered into the unknown frontier of the Netopian net.
"HQ, I'm being chased now by them...No! There was no way I could have captured all three of them by myself!"
It was quiet...but it was gone as a feint shouting was heard from a far.
"SHIT!"
It was a humanoid figure, particularly gray all over, but it was hard to make out if it was a navi or a virus. The figure also caught a glimpse of TennisMan and began to speed up!
"Curses! Why the hell is there a civilian navi this far away! YOU, JACK OUT FROM HERE, NOW!"
"WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY?" Tennisman called back to the mysterious figure, "EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"
In a blink of an eye, the gray figure teleported literally inches away, having his palm already fixed on TennisMan's forehead. Upon inspection, the figure was indeed a navi, but rather a peculiar one. The head was completely shrouded in a mask revealing nothing but his pearl eyes, the stomach was hollow and a circle of metal bar and a sphere of light was there instead, his right arm was stacked with dull gold plates with a wide bracelet to resemble a key while the left was a dull silver with a big ring at the end to resemble a lock.
"Activate Forced Plug Sequence, P-0716316"
The palm on the navi's head began to pulsate and locked TennisMan right in place, while the panel beneath him light up in a gunmetal shine and paper-thin walls began to rise up and surround the navi!!
"I cannot jeopardize navis like yourself in this situation!. If you have any problem, blame your rotten luck."
TennisMan couldn't do anything, he could only hopelessly watch the being forced to jack-out by an unknown navi as the walls quickly rose to his eye level. In just seconds, he was in complete darkness when the wall finally enclosed him all the way.
"Destination, Netopia Net Square."
The grounds beneath TennisMan began to rose and slowly went higher and higher into the sky...until...
"BZZZZZZZZZT"
A crack of what sounded like a lightning tore through the atmosphere and the sheer power of it nulled the jail and sent TennisMan dropping straight to the ground. Thankfully, the lock placed on the navi was released along with the jail and he was able to land safely onto the ground...Now is the chance!
-What is your action!-
Tennisman got to his feet quickly and held his racket in preparation to fight. If this strange navi had wanted to attack, it could have easily done so with that first opportunity. Instead, it opted to force Tennisman to jack out. Obviously there was an approaching threat of some kind. There were too many questions at this point and rather than try and deduce all the answers, it was probably easier to simply stand his ground and defend himself.
Desmond was equally infuriated, "Tennisman, get ready! Looks like we're gonna have to throw down with this jerk!"
"No." Tennisman replied before calling out to the other navi, "Please do not attempt that again. I have come this far for a reason." He took up a defensive pose as if to demonstrate his resolve.
"Who is this? Is this your back-up from the HQ? This is just petty."
The unknown voice came from up high, revealing yet another navi descending down onto the ground. This one was clothed with a silky white robe with gold out lines and patterns, equipped with a single large breastplate with his navicrest and what looked to be a chain whip. His blonde hair was at the length of his shoulder and covered the majority of his face. However, from head to toe the navi was bruised and wounded heavily.
"You can't escape this time, Barcode. We already have you surrounded."
Without notice, two more navis appeared from the side, a female navi dressed in a very soft colored dress and another one in a black jumpsuit with gray outlines and a visor. The navi in the white landed onto the ground and pulled the chain whip out, lashing it onto the ground to create the same thunderous sound from before.
"Hand it over, or else meet your inevitable end."

"What the balls, man?" Desmond blurted out, "We have to help him out now?"
Tennisman nodded and took up Deuce with his left hand. The recently installed upgrades welled in his palm and flowed into Deuce's frame. His reflexes felt sharper and more refined and Deuce seemed to weave through the air effortlessly. This was going to be an interesting trial of his new abilities.
"Brace yourself Deuce." Tennisman said.
While his racket repaired and reinforced itself, Tennisman summoned a net in front of his opponents and took up a defensive stance. He wasn't sure if they were going to strike first but he wasn't willing to take the chance. He didn't want to warn his temporary ally of his actions as doing so would warn his enemies as well. It was probably better this way.
"Focus on the black suit guy. He looks the weakest." Desmond ordered and slotted in a Kunai chip.
Tennisman began the assault and lauched up a volley of tennis balls. In a chain of rapid fire serves, each ball was sent hurtling towards the rightmost navi in a chain, followed closely with a second barrage of daggers thrown with his other hand.
