The Great Viral Purge - Sector A.

Sector A.

Warning: Each 'Spawn' virus takes one shot to delete.

SINNBAD walked towards the area that was designated Sector A. He paused at what he thought was the border and waited for Lucia to catch up.

Lucia would not be but a few steps behind the silver knight, skipping along bare feet across panels while looking about curiously. "So I get to play with the normal virii right? That sounds like fun mister tin man!" Sweet smile was offered to the navi before she lifted hand above her brow to peek around the network curiously.

[Requesting Battle 1]
Not long after their trek into the networks, Lucia and SINNBAD were ambushed by a group of viruses! In front of them stood a couple of... rocks, or whatever they were, holding a grenade by however means. Behind them, they were flanked by rolling Beetanks and sunglass-donning BigHats. The terrain they had wandered into wasn't too occupying, either. Some purple panels stood out in the vast battlescape, as well as some cracked ones.

"Initiate scan."

"Yes, My Lord."

SINNBAD aimed his V-Eliminator at the virus horde. Bright luminescence beamed outward to sweep over each virii in turn. SINN and Destin waited for the results.

Summary
1. Scan virus horde for 'spawn' viruses.
-Turn Splice-
Lucia gave a start at just how many virii had shown up to face them, not to mention the horrible look of disrepair and gunk that several panels had. "Nasty looking place.." Still the scan SINNBAD used did bring a faint awe inspired sound from the fiery little navi.

"Lucia, run interference while he scans." came command as chip was slotted in. "Right away!" was response as the navi moved closer to the armored knight while large met hat shield formed itself before her.

Summary:
1. Guard1 [Battlechip] 1-Hit Shield + Reflect up to 60 to guard self and SINN
-Turn Splice-

"Initiating spawn virus scan procedure," said the machine, and a green light enveloped the entirety of the battlefield for an instant. Then, it was gone, but from two viruses. One of the Beetank, and another of the Dynamite. They glowed with emerald luminosity, marking them as the spawn viruses.

"The glowing ones must be your targets."

Destin guessed. SINNBAD nodded in response. He planted his spear into the ground, the butt-end spear-point lodging itself deep into the earth. He raised his special weapon with both hands. He used Lucia as cover. Looming over her smaller frame from behind, the warrior took aim at the two spawn-virii. He had hoped to take them out in the opening shots. He picked his targets and fired.

[I don't know how to describe the Purge Shell attack, so I'll leave that up to the moderation. After I see how it is described, I will note it in the future.]

After striking out with the V-Eliminator, SINNBAD sheathed the blaster, confident of his marksmanship. Knowing that Lucia probably lost her Guard by this point, he placed a hand of Lucia's shoulder.

"Accept this."

Silver threads of light flowed out of his fingertips and traced a pattern across her body as it moved from her shoulder to her arm. She could feel the power asking her without words, where to concentrate its energy. She could reject it, leaving her without illness. But if she accepted it, the arm she chose collected the tendrils, weaving the threads into a small shield. The buckler was so light that she felt like she didn't have anything attached to her arm. Her navi symbol emblazoned itself upon it as the buckler fully formed.

SINNBAD then grasped the shaft of his spetum. The multi-bladed spear dislodged itself from the ground with hardly any effort, scattering loose gravel. The knight backed up slightly to give a little room between him and Lucia. Then he rushed forward. Before he collided with Lucia he slid to a stop, scattering more earth, clutching to his heavy boots. The momentum of the run and slide was enough to heave the spear toward the virus horde. SINN launched it like a javelin, a lightning bolt from Zeus to strike down a titan. The polearm sailed through the air as if born to it. As the spear flew, it seemed to blur and shimmer, light dancing off its form. As it arced down and drove itself into the viral horde, it had appeared to split in twain. Two spears fell on the target, one of the Dynamites, attempting to rend large gashes in the virus.

After it pressed the attack, the spear lodged itself into the ground, with perhaps the Dynamite impaled upon it. Regardless of the outcome, the second spear faded as it struck the same location as the first, retreating into the form of the other. SINNBAD held back and watched, readying himself for the first counter-shots. He knew they had a hard fight ahead of them, but he was quick to fire up, to face it head on.

Standing firm as she watched the strange events of the scanner bright to light which of the viruses were in fact the targets of their current search. She stayed braced before the taller warrior with that guard in place.

At least until his weapon had fired and he touched her, comment was about to be given before the feeling of his gift started to course its way through her systems, blinkingly she accepted the gift, and couldn't help but smile at the smaller buckler that took itself to forming upon her arm in place of the larger met hat. Resting at its center was the emblem very rarely seen otherwise. A bow with arrow set atop blazing flame marked the shield, though her attention wasn't able to take notice of it as she turned it back towards the enemy.

"Lucia we know our targets now, Strike the tanks down before they have time to part." Drawing out a staple chip as it were from his folder, Vincent would send it slotting into the PET and off to his navi.

On receiving end the little program watched her partner go to work, surprised at the shear power he wielded, but as her right arm lit ablaze her gaze shifted back upon the targets before her. Lifting those twin barrels she fired towards the group of tanks. Then took to the move to avoid any fire that might be coming her way from being a standing target for so long, charging towards the shade wearing virii.

[You were supposed to purge the Spawns after all else were deleted, but I guess I worded it rather vaguely. I'll let it slide for now.]

The fight started rather nicely, with SINNBAD firing the first two Purge Shells towards the spawn viruses. The shells exploded in a cloud of green and yellow, and looked rather sickly. When the purged viruses emerged, it looked as if they were melting to their very framework. It looked really gross, too.

Their comrades whooped into action, roaring battle cries. The tanks fired their bombs on SINN, cracking the floor beneath him to a dangerous extent and trapping him on an islet of cracked panels. (10x2) Lucia was spared as she shot down a Beetank, leapt to the side and tried her hand on the BigHats. The shaded viruses did nothing more than to lob a couple of spheres, which weren't even aimed for her. They instead rolled to her sides, and it occurred to her that they were bombs, ticking down!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the equation, SINNBAD was having a ball with the Dynamites. Before he could stop them, they had already lobbed grenades into his territory. They did not explode, but instead beeped with a red laser line that flanked him on either side very tightly, so that if he so much as leaned to one side, he'd... well, let's not talk about that. On the brighter side of things, one of the Dynamites were dead by the virtue of well-aimed spears.

[Oh really? Then I'll make sure of that next time.]

Explosions and shrapnel battered the warrior navi and sent him crashing into the ground. The floor cracked beneath him with the impact. He stood up swiftly, shakily, data seeping from unseen cuts upon his person under the plates of his armor. He reflexively held one of his hands over his chest, as if supporting his wounds. He would not be beaten by such attacks. The flow of datum slowed, his wounds staunching themselves by his very will.

Suddenly, laser tripwires boxed SINNBAD inside a cage of light. He was paralyzed to move, standing as he was on an island of cracked panels. Lucia was under similar conditions, surrounded by bombs that looked no less deadly. He had to act. He kept his concentration on his ally, attempting to hold the shield that protected her. He had to protect her...

Destin quickly slotted in two battlechips, figuring out a quick strategy. SINNBAD was suddenly surrounded by a golden sphere of energy. A chicken inside the golden egg.

Wordlessly, the navi grasped the plan and shifted to the side, rolling to his left. He hoped to set off the bombs around him by breaking their tripwires. The resulting explosions would launch him more to the left, away from the broken panels. The golden sphere would detonate as well, scattering waves of luminescent shards across the battlefield, perhaps even crashing into the virus horde scattered about.

The caterpillar emerged from inside the shattered cocoon, spreading his wings and taking flight as a strong and beautiful butterfly. Hovering with arms outstretched. The knight immediately pointed one of his arms at Lucia, surrounded by explosives.

"Get over here!"

He called, his gruff words echoing over the battlefield. A strong invisible grip suddenly attempted to take hold of her lithe body. The words caressing her with its siren song. SINNBAD yanked back his hand forcefully, as if dragging Lucia with it. If the 'magic' took hold, it would draw her to him, out of harms way.

Giving a flinch when bombs landed there at either side of her, expecting them to explode, but they didn't which made navi glance at the two of them then hiss coldly. "You missed!"

"Send it back to its user, then use this and thin the ranks down a bit. Just strike the floors, chip will do the rest." Sending a quick chip his navi's way Vincent turned his sights upon her partner, thinking him to be in a bind. Though that wasn't the case as w clever use of shields had him free again.

Lucia on the other hand was paying more focus upon the bombs before her. Quickly stepping towards one of them and drawing back to give a swift kick, drawing foot back she gave out a quiet yell as digital air swirled slightly about her sweeping leg.
Intending to connect with resting bomb and send it sailing right back to its owner.

Soon after her kick, she found herself drawn from her feet and sailing backwards. Wide eyed the navi arched backwards, staring towards her new flight path, faint smile crossing lips when she realized just where it would end. "Thanks!" Came the cry before legs threw upwards and pushed the fiery navi into a long arched back flip, leaving her enough time to land with faint skid upon toes, kneeling down low as she stared back towards the enemy. Midflight chip's info had sent itself to the flying navi, its use coming in clearly as sparks began to emit themselves about her framework. As her acrobatic move reached it's completion she drew her arm upwards and willed the static bolt towards awaiting right hand. Thrusting it down to slap against the panels firmly, "Fry and burn!" came the cry as those sparks burst to life into the panel and started to shoot out in ever expanding waves of electrical energy, coursing through panels towards the virus groups.

With little more left to do navi instead took to the defensive, watching with emblem sealed buckler in place to be ready to leap out of harms way should more bombs come her way.

Balling himself up in a cocoon of golden safety, SINNBAD made a very unorthodox exit by rolling right through the tripwires of the grenades, causing them to explode in a line through the tripwires. Fortunately, he was protected from this attack by the golden eggshell, but the lines of attack they produced went nowhere fast. Lucia sent back a FlashBomb towards its thrower, and got the hell out of harm's way, combined with SINN's authoritative bellow of authority-ness. Then, the ElecReel was released, and mayhem flowed everywhere. A Beetank and a BigHat were swiftly executed, while one of the Dynamite managed to leap out of the way rather hurriedly. The last BigHat threw another bomb that rolled on the ground quite harmlessly... for now.

"It is my duty to help out fair-"

SINNBAD began as Lucia thanked him... before deleting half of the remaining enemies. The knight's eyes bulged out of their sockets.

"-ly powerful Maidens."

He finished with a sort of awe translating through his voice. He swiftly recovered and set his sights on the last Dynamite. The one who got away. The knight's silvery cloak stirred lightly in a faint wind as he stepped forward, floating above the terrain. His left arm came up in front of his body as he walked, as if to protect him from harm. His pace began to quicken, until he was in a full tilt run. His cloak stretched out behind him like a tail, or folded wings.

The Escutcheon that was held by Lucia began to dissolve like sand. Its form becoming as dust. Her navi symbol faded from sight as the shield faded from view. The strands of silver snaked away from her and headed overtly towards the sprinting warrior, catching up within moments of their departure, such was their speed. They struck SINN's left arm, in its defensive stance, rapidly reforming itself. A sturdy, towering bulwark materialized upon his arm, covering up his body from his neck to his feet. He barreled across the field, any wounds he suffered during the charge would not show on his body.

His right hand came to his back, where a dark-gray broadsword sheath was located. The sword was easily extracted, drawing forth in a fluid motion just as the knight was about to run right into the virus. The shining blade glowed almost immediately from being removed from the sheath, becoming a ghostly pale hue. In the same motion as the sword was drawn, a strong overhand swing followed, expeditiously delivering the illuminated blade down hard upon the Dynamite's head in an effort to split it open.

The warrior pursued the Dynamite, shifting his position, flowing around the virus in an effort to curtail his escape. If his shield survived the charge, he would use it like a wall, stifling efforts to outmaneuver him. It wouldn't take long for an opening to present itself. SINN's sword arm lashed out at the hole in its defenses. The tip of the flashing blade thrusting itself at the exposed flesh. Attempting a penetration that would spill datum and spell the end for the virus.

Lucia couldn't help give a faint giggle as large smile passed her lips upon hearing the knight's slight stutter in surprise. Giving him a soft wink she turned her focus quickly back upon the virus that sent another bomb out. "Persistent little bugger aren't you. Trick won't work this time!" called out the navi as right arm rose to reach over shoulder. Left followed suit to bring pointed fingers towards the virus, burning flames erupting from her wrist, expanding outwards as fiery bow took shape in time to have arrow notched into the thin almost invisible string and drawn back fully.

Gaze quickly shifted from virus to its sitting weapon, Taking soft breath the navi blew against the arrow before letting it fly. The bolt traveled forward, bringing with it swirling trail of disrupted air towards the bomb. With impact came a second strike of wind that would hopefully send the bomb back into its maker.

Fiery navi kept that low stance still as gaze quickly locked back upon the shade wearing enemy, wasting no time after arrow's release as fingers caught quills of second and quickly drew it into place. The arrow lingered this time, as at tip small swirls of red energy begun to collect. The arrowhead glowing brighter as the energy being drawn it grew, until finally as the arrow looked ready to burst she released the draw with faint sparks as fingers let loose the heated arrow. It roared to life as the flaming streak sailed towards the BigHat target, the delay giving the navi more then ample time to be sure her shot would be true.

SINNBAD continued his knightly conduct by charging the Dynamite with sword in hand. The rock-shaped thing panicked, and began to draw away from the savage blows. The first blow did not hit it, but the second was not so successfully evaded. Meanwhile, Lucia smacked the bomb the BigHat threw right back at it, combining that with a fiery shot of one of her arrows, deleting it with relative ease.

SINNBAD raised his shield again and pressed the virus. He maneuvered himself into a position to strike. His sword slashed out just as swiftly as before, rending the air. If his opponent survived the strike and ran for it, SINN gave pursuit. He pointed his blade at the target.

"Stand and fight you coward!"

He bellowed to the fleeing virus. The words attempted to grip at the Dynamite's legs like tar. Slowing the virus' pace. His words a challenge that could not be ignored. A siren song that would draw the virus into his blade.

He stuck again, trying to drive his gleaming blade into the very heart of the virus, silencing it forever. The flashing steel bored through the zephyr like a bullet. The virus would have little to stop the judgment of the knight's blade.

Lucia drew up with a slow spin, letting hair flick around and those flames engulf her for a few moments as she twirled upon toes before lightly coming to a stop facing navi and virus who were locked in combat. Offering smile and wave the navi gave soft bounces on her bare feet and offered quiet cheering. It seemed the knight had things well in hand so she'd just turn and keep her eyes out for any more viruses that might sneak up on the duo.

Destin commented the navi' as SINNBAD dismissed his shield, walking over to extract his spear from the ground.

"Two down. Six to go."

"So what made you join me for this little mission? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the help. I just like to get to know my partners."
Lucia was more then happy to follow along after SINN, giving soft hops, skips and the occasional spin. Carefully avoiding those dark purple panels with each light hop on her toes. "Your pretty tough Mister Knight. Bet we are going to have lots of fun!"

In the real world Vincent gave a quiet thoughtful hm when Destin appeared on the holo screen. Offering slight smirk as he shrugs slightly. "I thought it would be a worth while investment. A liberated sector on the net is quite the worthy cause."
