Spellchecks and Onees.

Once again forming from the ice and snow, Yuki took a look around. From her perspective, she could see neither hide or hair of her 'body guard'. She was pretty certain Aoi sent him down with her. But she saw nothing from eye level. "Hey Aoi, are you sure you sent this Onii here?" Aoi gave a grumble and checked the screen. "He should be right beside you. Are you sure you aren't pulling my leg?" Yuki sighed and took one more look before she felt a tug on her sleeve. Thinking it was probably a champu looking for a fit, she turned around and looked down to find her... 'body guard'.

"Hey Boss!" Grinned the rather... small oni... girl? Something didn't add up. "Wait, boss?" Yuki said, trying to confirm if her suspicions were correct. "Yup! I'm Onee.SP! I'm your support unit boss!" As the small tomboy pumped her rocky fist, Yuki quietly talked to Aoi. "..What was the name of SP again Aoi?" "Onii.SP" "...And how did you spell it, exactly?" "Ermmm.. I was kinda tired from the trip, but it was O, N, E, E."

Yuki gave a quiet sigh as she rubbed her forehead. "...You used some form of program checker, didn't you?" Aoi was getting agitated. "Yeah.. this was my first time working from scratch. Why the 20 questions?" Yuki pointed to Onee who tilted her head. "...You used the female pronoun for 'Big Sister' instead of 'Big Brother' and the program corrected it."

As Aoi finally noticed his own handiwork, he gave a resounding 'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-' as he quickly tried to stop himself from over heating again. "Ok, it's OK. She'll be fine. She still has all the programs, she's just... less of a body guard and more of a... shin guard. We should at least try and help her get stronger."

Giving a nod, Yuki looked at Onee. "Well, since we are here, we might as well bust some viruses. Ready Onee?" Onee gave a big grin and nodded. "Right Boss!"

<READY FOR BATTLE ONE>
Yuki and her new SP's first Netopian challenge took form in a grab-bag of viruses not far from where they'd entered. The viruses were still a good distance away, but it was clear that they were approaching with the intent to attack. The distance gave Yuki and Onee some time to prepare before the enemy reached them, but not much.

Battle 1 Start!
"Well, this is a rather interesting group." Yuki commented. A yoyo, a sheep, and a circular metal thingy. Truly it was an odd ball team you would expect to somehow be very effective. Onee seemed to be staring right at the Momoko's horns for some reason. Focusing on the task at hand, she spoke to her new ally. "Well, let's start things out by doing a simple bust. Ok Onee? You don't have any experience, so I'll cover for you."

Onee gave a nod as she seemed focused on the horns of the sheep virus. It would be unwise to just run at them, and using Aqua Tower or Sword would give it away too easily. Quietly motioning to Aoi, he responded by slotting in two chips. Her personal favorite, Aqua Needle, and the Kunai she received from her mission.

Blades of both water and metal materialized in the air and hovered for a moment as she adjusted her goggles and tried to aim and steady the blades. Slowly adjusting the angles of the aqua needles, she focused on sending on group out at a time. Since her foe was a volgear, she aimed two of the aqua needles at it in hopes to stop it from harming Onee and sent the third one at the Yort. The kunais however, quickly followed behind the aqua needles as two were sent at the Momoko and the remaining one was sent to the Yort as well.

With the enemies closing in, Yuki readied herself as Onee moved back and got into a evasive stance. Chances are that one hit would likely bowl her over quite easily if she was unlucky. To make sure that they don't get a close enough chance to do so, Aoi slotted in a simple shot gun which formed on her arm. Focusing it on the Momoko, she fired the spread right at it, and hoped to hit the Yort before it could show her what that Yoyo was for.

<<ACTION!>>

*passive aim
1: Aqua needle. (3 20 aqua hits plus +5 bonus each) 2 aimed at Volgear(x2 damage) and one at Yort using passive aim.
2: Kunai1.(20 x 3 slashing. Can be aimed at different targets.) 2 at Momoko, 1 at Yort.
3: Shotgun (50 + spread1) at Momoko and hopefully spread to Yort.

Onee: DODGE!
Yuki started off with a hail of aquatic needles that pierced the unsuspecting Volgear through and deleted it. The Yort deflected one with a yo-yo that kept going and grazed Yuki twice. Her kunai hit the Moloko as it charged at her, causing the virus to stop in its tracks while the Yort defied expectations again and deflected another projectile. Yuki was ready this time though, and avoided the attack when it came. The Yort then flew towards the Navi just as the Moloko charged. Yuki fired her Shotgun at the oncoming viruses and watched as the shot hit the Yort's yo-yo and blew up in its face. The Moloko kept coming, but the physical charge was easy to avoid.

Onee stayed back and out of the way.

"Go Boss! Kick their ass!" Cheered Onee from the side as the Volgear was reduced to code by the onslaught. While she did manage to defeat the one virus, the Yort seemed rather... intelligent? It seemed to have been using the Yoyo as a means to block and protect it's allies from harm while also giving her a few gashes. However, it became rather easy to realize that while the yoyo did make a good shield, it wasn't perfect and had a very easy to exploit flaw. It was unbreakable, the base wasn't.

As for the sheep, it still seemed to be coming right at them. Was probably a close combat type like Swordys. Looking at Onee, she gave her a look over to see that she was OK before thinking of what to use. "Aoi, mind lending me a shockwave, I would like to deal with the sheep before it tries to lock horns with Onee." While it sounded like he was quite busy, the chip came to her as her foot began to give a light glow. Taking one good look at the Momoko and Yort to line up her shot through her ski goggles, she delivered a axe kick straight at the ground and at the two viruses before getting out of the way of possible counters.

Noticing the cuts from the Yort, she created a small smoothie and drank it post haste to avoid being a open target. Seemed it was raspberry flavor this time around. As Onee tries to keep out of harms way, she wondered how Aoi managed to give it a flavor at all.

He may suck at making stuff from scratch, but he was quite handy with basic stuff.

<<ACTION>>
*passive aim
1: Shockwave Momoko and Yort(40 damage + piercing + line attack) plus passive aim.
2: DODGE
3: Cool Treat-ment(30 recovery, 1TCD)

Lining up two of the viruses for a final shot, Yuki made quick work of the two remaining viruses, while also patching up some wounds.

With the last of the viruses dealt with, Yuki sorted out the data as Onee cheered in the back ground. It wasn't a bad haul really and sure enough, bits of bug frag data were scattered here and there. "Well then Onee, how are you holding out? No problems on your end?" Onee gave a rather hyper head shake from Yuki's question. "No Boss! Everything is good! Ready for round two boss!"

Giving a slight chuckle, it still felt odd to be called boss. Once she gathered the rest of the data, she began her search once more.

(ROUND TWO READY)
"Boss" and Onee continued through the network until they found an area of pristine, undamaged panels. With all the damaged terrain they'd been seeing on the way there, it was almost as if someone had ordered all the normal panels to be spruced up for variety or something. Anyway, the more interesting part of the view was probably the two bouncy viruses and the sword wielding ones straight ahead. With their swords pointed directly at Yuki, it was hard to believe they hadn't seen her yet.

Battle 2 Start!
As the motley duo travel down the net to search for additional bug frags, something seemed... off. It just seemed too normal. Like someone with OCD scrubbed each panel to give it that extra bit of shine and normalcy. Even for someone who's job was to maintain a system at peak levels, this is over kill. As Onee seemed to be curious of the cleanness of the tiles, Yuki noticed the actual targets. Some old acquaintances and some new foes.

"Huh... haven't seen swordys in a while." Thinking back at the last time she faced them, she gave a shudder at remember the sword to the rear. It was something she pushed to the back of her mind, but it still egged her a bit. Calmly taking a scan at their position and angle before fighting breaks out, she quietly raised her hand before slapping the ground. Causing tower after tower of pure aquatic destruction march towards the group. One popping out of the ground as the other submerges.

As she summoned her sword in her right hand and her guard to her left, she noticed Onee still not paying attention. "Onee, unless you want to suffer a blade to your freshly coded posterior, please keep an eye out on the task ahead." Giving a 'eep' and entering a evasive stance, Onee quickly got into to position to avoid such a fate.

<<ACTION>>
*passive aim
1:Aqua Tower1 enemy group with passive aim(105 aqua + line + group attack + piercing)
2: Ready guard1 to defend against attacks(blocks 1 attack and can reflect up to 60 damage)
3: Ready Sword to counter attack any close range foes.(80 slashing with 6 uses)
Yuki unleashed cold, wet hell on the virus group by starting things off with an AquaTower. It raged forward, just as threatening as a pillar of fire. It made direct contact with one of the Swordys that still had its sword pointed at the Navi and SP. The tower continued to move through the group, missing the other Swordy and causing one of the Melody viruses to bounce out of the way. The other was caught in the waters and never came out.

The surviving Melody made a second bounce to attack Yuki and promptly bounced off her Guard, causing the virus a bit of damage. After that, neither remaining virus tried again, so the snow Navi was left brandishing her Sword a ways from the enemies.

As the pillars of water wash over the field, Yuki gave a soft grin as two of the four viruses were washed away by the torrential onslaught. Onee seemed to watch in wide eyed amusement as the pillars burst out. It was like watching a child looking at special effects. She had to admit, it was nice to see someone fresh partaking in combat. Even if she wasn't exactly razor sharp in combat yet, it was still a good change of pace.

Giving a soft smirk to Onee, Yuki quietly focuses on the melody and pays the swordy little mind. From what it just did, the little note didn't seem to be able to stay flat on it's feet when attacking. By a good first glace, it was like the Powies she fought before in ACDC. Which meant they had the same form of weakness. Giving a slight grin, she summoned forth three more kunai above her head. While the three of them looked the same, one was slightly heavier than it seemed. As Yuki prepared any last minute trajectory training with her goggles, she sent down two of her kunai at the melody, and one at the swordy. While they weren't that powerful, the one she threw at the swordy should keep him occupied. Meanwhile, the 'heavy' kunai and another decoy kunai was fired at the Melody. If it worked, the melody would be anchored. If it was anchored, then the chances of it jumping around would lessen.

Either way, Yuki quickly brought out her shotgun as well and fired it at the two survivors in an attempt to finish them off as they deal with raining kunai. While it was rather bread and butter, she still had her sword by her side in case she needed to cut down any survivors or do a bit of fencing with that swordy. She still hadn't returned the 'favor'.

<<ACTION! FINALLY!>>
*passive aim
1: Kunai1 with anchoring and passive aim(20 slashing x 3). 2 kunai for Melody(with 1 anchored) and 1 for swordy.
2: Shotgun Melody and hopefully the swordy afterwards(50 spread1)
3: Sword the closest enemy.(80 slash)

Onee: DOOOOOOOOODGE!
Throwing a few Kunai knives at the Melody and Swordy, Yuki prevented the Melody from going anywhere fast- it was stuck to the ground! It was then subsequently shot to bits with her Shotgun. The Swordy was not hampered much, however. It charged towards Yuki and brandished its sword in a bellow of rage, but was parried off by a lucky swordswipe by the Navi!

Onee sat and watched.

The swordy did not look pleased. It may have been the fact that he was just stabbed with the digital equivalent of a knife, the fact that she just killed his fellow viruses in a pillar of water and subsequent shot gunning, or it could be the fact that she is pretty much wielding the blade of one of his dead buddies. Either way, he was going balls to the wall so to speak, and Onee noticed.

As Onee quietly moved herself to position, Yuki held off the Swordy with her own sword. While the sword was dealing with her boss, she quietly readied a single large claw in a position that slightly resembled a claw and tried to flank him. While her boss goes high with her sword slices, Onee goes low, crouches down, and delivers the claw to what would likely be the swordy's rump.

Either way, not wanting the fight to drag on, Yuki continued to attack with her blade in hopes of finishing off the swordy before it tried to harm her support unit. As yuki slashed from the front, and Onee used her dark method of attack on the rear, only time will tell what happens.

<<ACTION!>>
Onee: Punch Swordy IN THE NERTZ(10 damage)

1: Sword(80 slashing)
2: Sword(80 slashing)

As the swordy was cut down by Yuki's sword, the look of outright surprise as she noticed her little support unit jabbing what remained of it's lower torso comes into view. Giving a innocent looking that pretty much screams' "I'm helping!" She gave a soft chuckle and patted her on the head. "You did good Onee. But be careful, OK? We don't want to hit each other, alright?" As Onee looked starry eyed at her in praise, she gave several quick nods before saying, "Right boss! Thank you boss!"

After she helped Yuki pick up the data and send it to Aoi, they headed out in search of some more practice.

<<ROUND 3 READY!>>
Yuki and Onee came across a construction site, or rather, viruses seeming like they were doing construction but were really damaging the area. This much was evident from the cracks in the terrain.

A BigHat seemed to be leading the operation while BombBoys and Quakers worked hard to ensure network destruction. They had to be stopped at all costs!

"Well, this isn't a good sign..." Yuki mumbled as she noticed the various broken bits of the net. It really irked her how such viruses don't seem to mind destroying the place. Still, it would likely be a bad idea just to rush into combat. Getting back on the private line, she decided to contact Aoi for some help. "Aoi, what is the distance and number of enemies we are facing right now?" As she heard a startled cough, Aoi cleared his voice in a few moments and said calmly, "Ahhh, right! Well, there are 5 in total, but they are all outside melee range. Sword isn't going to be effective. Neither will Rage Claw. Also, they are spread out so shockwave, wide shot, shotgun, and Aqua Tower would be less effective too."

Yuki gave a sigh at the development. The distance was too far apart to actually damage and defeat them in one fell swoop, and the various cracked areas would make it rather hazardous when it comes to pit falls. She needed to close the gap, deal with cracks, and prepare herself for enemy retribution. Finally hitting herself on the head for forgetting that she was designed to FIX systems in such conditions, she began to hum a few bars as the floor began to turn to ice. Onee seemed to enjoy the little display of watching the whole field turning to ice and was quite surprised how slippery it was for her.

However, Yuki was focusing more on the enemies herself. From the looks of it, the BigHat seemed to be the one giving orders to the hooligan viruses. If she could deal with the leader, perhaps the lackeys would be easier to deal with? Either way, Yuki quietly turned on her S.N.O.W. goggles and had Aoi slot in a zap ring into her right hand. Looking at the angle and distance, Yuki pulled back her arm before flinging the rather.. 'stunning' electric ring at the Big Hat. Even if it didn't delete him, at least stunning him would delay him from possibly alerting his buddies.

With her first move done, she looked at her young support unit who was trying to figure out how to attack the far away enemies. Giving a pat on her shoulder, she shook her head. "One thing at a time Onee. We don't want to get attacked from behind if we go for one group. For now, split up and try to avoid any attacks they throw, alright." Giving a sigh and a nod, Onee began to slide around on the ice to try and find that right position as Yuki moved away from her a bit and adopted her own evasive stance. There were far too many different groups to stick so close together. While she could take a hit, Onee could not. At least this way, she had a better chance of avoiding projectiles and long range attacks.

Looks like for this cold area... things are heating up.

<<ACTION GO!>>
1: use Winter Wonderland to turn the field to 100% ICE TERRAIN! (2TCD)
*passive aim
2: Use ZAPRING1 on BigHat to try and stun him(40 elec damage x2 for terrain effect plus stun, plus passive aim)
3: Use the ice to dodge incoming attacks. Try not to bunch close to Onee so she wouldn't be cause in any group attacks.

Onee: Dodge using the ice.
The entire area was immediately repaired with Yuki's little hum, turned into a vast field of frozen panels. The BigHat looked none too pleased with the outcome. Flicking out a cigar, it smoked on it for a bit before throwing a little sphere on the floor. Its smoke was interrupted, however, when Yuki fired a ZapRing at it, shocking it into a state of immobility. It screamed orders at the viruses around it, who all sprang into action. The BombBoys made cube-shaped bombs with timers on them, while the Quakers left the ground and leapt into the air with their huge wrecking-balls.

Dodging then was a bit useless, but whatever.

As the big hat screeched to the other viruses to attack, Yuki gave a quiet 'tsk' as the boss still stood. However, not only did he remained stunned, but he seemed to drop some sort of object as well. Taking a look at it, she suddenly realized that she made the right choice. It was a flash bomb. A electricity filled flash bomb. As she noticed the one small bomb, Onee alerted her to two big ones. "Ummm, boss? I think the two small guys are pushing something bad!"

With bombs all around her and quakers on their way down, Yuki decided that the best bet for them was get away from the batches of very, very painful explosives. "Onee, fall back and try to get out of their blast range!" Not needing to be told twice, she turned tail and bolted as Yuki glided backwards on the frozen surface. There were far too many enemies to deal at once and the big hat was going to recover soon. With it, more flash bombs would be made. Then again, it didn't get to throw the flash bomb it did make.

Giving a cold smirk, she turned on her goggles and focused on the group dead ahead. Making sure she made a good enough distance, she brought her hand up as three razor sharp kunai formed over the group. One for the big hat, one for the quaker, and one for the flash bomb. With a daft movement she brought down her hand and brought down the kunai on their targets as she quickly averted her gaze after wards to the Bomb Boys. Hoping that she could avoid seeing the blast of light from the possible flash bomb explosion.

"Sorry boys, I'm afraid I am going to have to douse your fuses." Yuki said quietly towards the Bomb boys as she pointed at their direction. Sure enough, Aoi had slotted in a Aqua Tower which began to come closer and closer to the boys and their 'toys'. Curious as to why Aoi was quiet, she called over the private chat. "Are you holding up well Aoi?" All she could hear was the muffled sound of 'yes'm' in between mouth fulls of cold, cold milk shake. Giving a sigh she shrugged at the response. "Well, at least he's eating his fill."

<<ACTION!>>
Onee: MOVE AWAY FROM ENEMIES(mainly the flash bomb and bomb boys) using the ice. Focusing on running away.
1: MOVE AWAY FROM ENEMIES(flash bomb and Bomb Boys mainly) and use the ice for extra movement.
*passive aim
2:Kunai1(20 x 3 slashing) with passive aim. One kunai for Big Hat, Flash Bomb, and QuakerA.
3: AquaTower Bombboy and box bomb group.(105 aqua, piercing, group attack.)
Moving away from the enemies, Yuki prepared some Kunai knives to throw at a few enemies. The BigHat and Flashbomb were eliminated rather easily, for they were stationary targets. The Quaker she threw the last one at had the knife miss at it, as the sharp implement whizzed over its head. Then, the Quakers started coming down. Blam, blam, went their wrecking balls, creating shockwaves that traveled straight for her and shaking the ground and made her feet wobble. She managed to evade one, but the other caught her in her movements. (20) The shockwave did something unexpected, however- it changed direction after it struck her, and headed for Onee as well! (20)

The BombBoys seemed rather dazed by the quake as well, falling prey for the high-pressure geysers a bit too easily.
