The Great Viral Purge - Sector A.

SINNBAD took out the wall of bombs with two Wideshots after healing and setting up some defenses. Lucia's Shockwave cut its way through a Flashbomb, a BombBoy and a spawn Billy along with the intended target. The Kettle whistled loudly after being struck and bathed the two Dynamites and a normal Billy in a scaling bath of steam, deleting all three of the viruses. SINNBAD and Lucia then split up to flank the viruses, running right over the laser tripwires in the process. Fortunately, neither of them took damage thanks to their respective defenses. However, this left them open to the second Flashbomb that went off, blinding and temporarily stunning the both of them (20). What was worse, the Thunders that had been slowly rolling towards them were finally able to catch up; two of them crashing into Lucia (15 15) and one of them into SINNBAD (15). The fourth one rolled away on an odd tangent.

Flash!

"I cannot see!"

SINNBAD cried in surprise as the Flashbomb went off, bathing the battlefield in light and blinding both navis. Even though SINN brought his arm across his eyes in reflex, it was too late. The damage was done. The warrior navi stumbled a bit and dropped his spear, dazed by the fireworks. The heavy polearm clattered on the ground.

Matters were still not helped when SINN was bowled over by an electrified sphere. The knightly navi crashed into the ground with a heavy clatter, sparking. The electricity coursed across his semi-wet form causing him intense pain. He writhed on the floor of the battlefield for a moment, helpless and twitching. It was a bad day so far.

Summoning up what was left of his inner strength, SINN broke the hold the virii' attacks had put him in. It didn't take him too long to push himself to his feet, springing back to stature. His vision was still blurry, marred further by a dirt bath. He could barely see that Lucia was in even worse shape, barely able to move.

"SINNBAD. Stabilize yourself."

Destin's voice boomed in the knight's head.

"My Lord, I cannot see."

SINNBAD stated again, the pitch almost whining.

"I will be your eyes, submit to my will."

Destin commanded and SINNBAD nodded his consent, closing his eyes. Destin took over SINNBAD's body through the PET's buttons, operating SINNBAD as if he were a video game character. Destin slotted in two Shotgun battlechip programs and took aim. A shotgun appeared in SINN's hands and his body swiveled as if he was a marionette. The navi cocked the firearm and blasted buckshot at the two BigHat viruses. He cocked the gun again, expelling the shells to tinkle on the ground. SINN reloaded the shotgun in a fluid, unnatural movement. Then his body jerked sideways, skimming through the air as if he were a hovercraft, and unloaded a second shot. This one was also aimed at the BigHats also, but with the second virus of the two being its primary target.

Being so caught up in the moment, Lucia had no real defense when that burst of light flooded the field. Her eyes went open wide while pink seemed to light up brightly before fading down to a dull gray. Soft word was tried, but all that came was a scream of agony as the first orb struck her. Sending the little program into a shuddering, twitching lump upon the network flooring.

To make matters worse a second ball of thunder quickly followed that forced back to arch upwards as she let out breathless gasp while the charge coursed its way through her. Long moment passed before she slumped back into the panels. She lay limp for now with those dulled out eyes, frazzled and wore as her systems slowly started to reboot and begin to function once more. But for now, she was completely defenseless.

Summary:
1-3 Stun

Lucia.EXE: 65HP [Blind]
While Lucia was totally helpless, SINNBAD was still able to heal himself and counterattack with his Shotguns. The two attacks managed to hit and delete the BigHat but none of the spread damage got through to the second one. The other BigHat lobbed a bomb at his direction while the BombBoys relocated themselves, changing their direction to face the navis. Four more bombs materialized, forming two separate walls. Two of the Billys charged their needles and sent off another set of Thunders, one rolling towards each navi.

The blurry vision faded. Destin gave SINNBAD control back of his body. It was then that many deadly attacks were launched. The horrible capabilities of bombs and electric sparks were nightmarish. SINN didn't want to relive the experience.

As such he ran.

He bounded off of the ground using the power of his FloatShoes to make great leaps and strides, hopefully hopping over the Thunder as he went. The dust stirred and puffed each time his footfalls struck the earth. It was like SINN was in a low-gravity environment.

And SINN ended up back where his spear was, thrusted into the ground. He tore it from the ground as he landed next to the weapon. He spun it around a bit as he aligned himself with the last BigHat and then heaved it at the well-dressed virus.

The spetum sailed through the air. The sharp polearm split in two as it dropped upon the area that the BigHat occupied. The twin spears attempted to catch the virus, pinning him to the ground.

The warrior navi then moved back a bit more to assess the situation.

Summary
1: Tactical Movement: Run away! from the Flashbomb.
2: Tactical Movement: Dodge/Leap over the Thunder(s).
3: DoubleNeedle [Battlechip]: 50 Null Damage + Multi-Hit2 to BigHatB.
4: Tactical Movement: Move a little further back to get a wider view of the battlefield and make sure that SINN has enough breathing room. Also he can react to attacks to dodge.

Other Effects:
1: FloatShoes [NaviCust]: Ignores effects from panels except broken/missing.
2: V-Eliminator Purge Shells [Special]: 6/12
"..cia, Lu..cia, Lucia can you hear me." Systems were finally starting to restore themselves as the navi slowly rose to her feet. "Ugh, what hit me..." Snapping to quickly Lucia lifted her head in time to see those bombs forming up again, cursing darkly under her breath as she burst alit in flames.

Those blazing fires did well to hide her newest weapon from her foes before her, the only warning that would come was the sound of twin clicks before a burst of micro rounds scattered forward towards the new bomb wall, and more importantly, the weakened virus behind.

"Lucia, the flash, get out of there now!" Came warning from above, bringing the smoldering navi's attention over towards the bomb, Quickly she took after her partner's example, run away. Dashing across the landscape of the net to try and get beyond the radius of that blinding flash, not to mention away from those rolling thunder balls.

Trying to escape the range of the flashbomb, SINNBAD ran away from it and leapt over the Thunder that was heading his way. However, the electric ball simply reversed its course and continue to roll towards him. Lucia healed herself and recuperated from the stacked paralysis she had sustained. SINNBAD's spears struck the BigHat and deleted it as Lucia's Shotgun took care of one of the BombBoys. She ran towards her partner and barely avoided contact with the Thunder chasing her but it too simply swerved around to give chase. Unfortunately for both navis, the Flashbomb detonated and bathed the entire battlefield in a wave of light. Despite not even being close to the device, SINNBAD and Lucia were stunned again allowing the Thunders to catch up. The remaining BombBoys shuffled around and began to push their bombs towards the frozen navis while one of the Billys conjured another spark ball.

Flash!

Another explosion bathed the battlefield in light. What was the range on those buggers? SINNBAD's head swam as he was once again disoriented. The bright light and explosion of color that clogged his vision caused him to double over and hold frozen to the ground for a few seconds, leaving him wide open. At least the two navis, writhing on the ground, could find solace in the fact that they had eliminated the source of the stun grenades. But it didn't help them in their current position.

SINNBAD crawled towards Lucia as he regained some of his mobility. He would not be beaten by some flash of light! His head began to clear, his cuts were closing, and his muscles strengthened his stride. As he moved he turned his head toward the rolling Thunder. Surprisingly, energy collected around his helmet's mouth guard, forming a sphere of pulsing illumination. He spat the plasma ball at the Thunder, trying to deflect it off-course and keeping it from harming Lucia. Then he finished by pushing to his feet and running over to where Lucia was.

"Let me treat your wounds."

SINN said as he knelt down next to her, putting himself between her and the enemy forces. His silvery bulwark appeared on his back, like a turtle shell. Once more becoming her shield.

He reached to his belt and began rifling through the pouches. He brought out some bandages and small herbs. He crushed the herbs in his hands and applied them as a paste to her cuts and bruises. Any cool feeling that she could feel was probably from the anesthetic nature of the healing herbs. Then he wrapped the bandages around the wounds, holding the healing powder taut to her flesh.

Lucia gave out a soft cry when the bomb went off and that blanket of light flooded the field once more. Such a horrifying feeling yet again filled the navi as she stumbled and fell to the floor in a shuddering, quivering mass of code.

Though at least this time she was closer to her knightly partner, and it seemed to be helpful as he gave her those oh so soothing healing herbs as and bandages. As her systems began to recover her sights turned past the warrior towards the oncoming wave of virii and their bombs. Scowling darkly she'd draw in deep breath, before letting out a might burst of air, the flowing spiral of wind blowing forth towards the lone bomb left behind by its fallen owner. Hoping she could push it out of range of them, and perhaps to backfire upon the approaching horde instead.

With her desperation attempt taken, she set sight upon the protective knight, delicate hand reached up, extending fingers to softly touch the edges of that helm. Soft smile touched her lips before those flames started to take life about her. The warmth of that fire flowing forward, filling along the knight, his armor. "Accept this gift.." she whispered as the silver plate mail would start to glow a fiery red hot. The heat was not burning, but instead seemed to re-forge the steel, even as the glow faded the armor retained a deeper golden sheen, granting the knight a true coat of arms, even if only temporarily.

((seriously, please stop doing that. it's annoying as fuck.))
((Morisha, it's "Accept" instead of "Except" and "affect" instead of "effect". Azure, I don't actually care about this but I see nothing that says SINNBAD is able to shoot plasma from his mouth in your profile or profile edits.))

SINNBAD healed slightly before launching an attack at the Thunder. He managed to destabilize the sphere, causing it to pop into nothingness. He then braced himself against the wall of approaching boybombs with a shield and patched up Lucia's wounds. Lucia knocked the 'unmanned' boybomb back and used what little energy she had to reinforce SINNBAD's armour. The fuses on the bombs reached their limit and a chain of explosions spread out all over the field. Everything except for the Billys was caught in the cascading explosions, though the bomb that Lucia had knocked away only spread onto the BombBoys. SINNBAD's shield did nothing to protect him as the explosive cloud engulfed his form. Lucia's Crimson Crusader saved her ally against two of the blasts but not the third. Lucia herself took all three attacks without any sort of protection, undoing all of SINNBAD's recovery efforts and knocking her into near-critical health. However, she was still alive which was more than could be said if SINNBAD had not been there.

None of the viruses looked damaged but that seemed somewhat natural to expect of their unique coding. Two of the Billys launched some more Thunders while the BombBoys kind of idled for a bit.

[How else should I bump? And no, I haven't listed breath attacks in my Buster description. However, I have breathed different chips before, so I thought just once I would see what it was like to breath Null energy. I won't do it again without updating my profile.]

SINNBAD covered himself over Lucia as the bombs exploded, but the flames went between the cracks in his defenses and seared her flesh.

"Take this in exchange."

He stated before standing up, removing his hands from her. Threads of silvery light had been left with his touch, swirling around her shoulders and attempting to lend their protective aura to the navi. All she would have to do is allow the gift to take hold.

SINNBAD took to the air again, lifting up a foot or two off the ground. He reached to his back with his gauntleted hands and drew his mighty sword from its sheath. The blade flared with renewed life as he kicked off the ground, plunging himself into the enemy ranks. As he skimmed along the ground, the call to battle invigorated his body, healing his injuries by the sheer ignoring of them.

The warrior navi swung his cutlass with quick, broad strokes. The blade sang through the air with the siren song of battle as it went, cleaving great rends through the ether. He struck at the healthiest BombBoy first, light trailing behind the blade as it went. Leaving an homage to the butchery as SINN spun on his heels and drove his blade at the nearest and the next. Moving through the group as a Dervish, slashing at all available targets.

Lucia cried out again as wave after wave from those exploding blasts struck her defenseless form. Still she survived, thanks once more to her partner. But she could not rely on him any longer, they needed this battle over quickly else they were both in trouble. So navi took back to her feet as a fiery blaze erupted about her frame, soothing some of the lingering pains from those explosions and drawing to her that breath of life to bring her back from the brink.

Taking to a run she'd start rushing away from her partner, in hopes the thunders would follow her instead and let him strike down the bombers while they had the chance. Mid run she'd slip wrist up and take grip of an arrow from the quiver set upon her back. Drawing it out and turning her sights upon the last Billy that must die before spawns. Fire about her wrist seemed to get drawn down towards the arrow as she came to a sudden halt.

Hoisting bolt up she'd call upon her bow in fiery summons and notch the glowing arrow before pulling it to full draw and letting it fly. Sending that burning streak rocketing towards the nearly destroyed thunder launcher.

SINNBAD supplied his ally with a shield before leaping off. Blindly jumping behind enemy lines wasn't the smartest thing to do as it simply placed him within closer proximity to one of the Thunders, shocking him again. The other one was drawn away by Lucia's movements. Slightly slowed by the electric attack, SINNBAD was able to only able to strike down two of the BombBoys while the third was allowed time to block with a hastily summoned bomb. Lucia was able to pick off the Billy while evading the Thunder chasing her. The remaining Billys created yet another set of spark balls while the BombBoy nudged its block closer to SINNBAD.

SINNBAD attempted to run around the block in order to strike at the virus behind it. If he managed that stunt, he would quickly slash at the virus with his sword. The gleaming blade was sharp and deadly, and his movements quick and fierce. The swishing sound of the saber as it cut through the air would not be very audible at such short, brutal strokes. He would hopefully make short work of the creature with a flurry of blows.

The blade shattered if it struck three times, regardless, he dropped the sword/pieces to the earth. Then he rolled backwards and dashed away. He did not want to be there when the block exploded.

With her foe dispatched the archer navi quickly drew out not one, but two more arrows from her quiver. Pulling both back to full draw while curling slightly round to face those on coming rolling balls of lightning. Light 'Hah!' sound was made as she released the thin cord and sent the arrows sailing for their respected targets.

Her attention then drifted to her partner, only to blink and tilt head to one side when she saw him running again. But she was learning, the bomb's range was far too great, so the best thing to do, was destroy it. "Master! Cannon chip please!" came the cry from the prone navi, almost a prayer. Which was quickly answered as the soft click from beyond sent the navi her desired weapon. Letting her fiery bow dissipate as if caught by the wind she drew right arm up while deep black barrel extended from the fires of her wrist. Aim was quick upon the immobile object before that bright burst of energy was shot forth, hoping to destroy the bomb before it could go off.

Now all that was left were the Spawn viruses. It was this period of relief, that this sector was almost purged, that made SINNBAD aware of his injuries. In the heat of the moment, he had managed to ignore, or persevere through an electrical shock that should have brought him to his knees. But the temporary lull in the battle's pace brought the attention back to the pain.

SINN writhed in agony for a few moments, once more lost in a haze. His opportunity to end the long skirmish quickly, delayed. However, he was able to recover again and draw the V-Eliminator weapon from his back. Armed with the deadly weapon he took his time to strike the two creatures with aimed shots. The sickly green bolts flew outwards at high speed, intent on deleting for good the viral menace in what appeared to be acid baths.

Then he drank a healing potion to celebrate. Quaffing the red elixir would restore his health.

Lucia let out soft breath as the last bomber went down, but it was no time to relax just yet. Twin arrows once more were drawn from her quiver and pulled to full draw with her bow. Form starting to light ablaze as those arrows were loosed to strike down the seeking orbs of electricity once again.

After she let herself be taken in by that soothing fire that was burning about her form, the battle had been long and the strain was great. Those flames helping to ease the pain and restore some of her programming.
