It all began tonight.

Bump.
(( D: ...My bad Kazu...Beach Net is a very neglected network. You should have at least Chat bumped))

Oberon was able to dodge the volley of Spores sent out by the Mushys, but part of the shield was corroded by it and was only half its true strength. The navi was able to push the KillPlant against the Elemperor, which caused the wood virus to burn into deletion and make the Elemperor land on the grass. As soon as Oberon successfully destroyed the other KillPlant, the mysterious virus started to root into the ground and fire a green bolt, which fortunately crashed against the remaining shield. When the green energy dispersed, it landed on the lavas and the sands, causing it to terraform into grasses!

[[Here! This is the strongest chip I have! It's--]]

"Whatever it is, hurry the hell up. In a second or two, you're going to see her make the cut, and then--" Oberon's glowing weapon extinguished itself as his voice trailed off. He marched forward, towards the bouncing mob of enemies, completely unarmed aside from his two ghostly swords, which shimmered a soft white, empty of chip power. He smirked, the smug expression showing clearly through his alabaster mask of a face. "Better input it before-"

Guy's nonverbal panic mounted as Oberon started to get closer and closer to the three enemies. Before the crucial moment when he would be within striking distance, his arms were raised skyward in a pose, as if prepared to boldly strike-- with nothing.

His arms fell-- and he vanished. Titania, standing behind the Elemperor, lashed out with a large arrow, attempting to thrust it into the enemy in a sudden surprise strike. There was a flicker of blue light as the Sword chip was expended on the tip of the makeshift melee weapon.

As the light faded, so did Titania. Oberon flickered back into existence, arms still raised, only this time crackling with the yellow power of the rarest chip Guy had to give, delivered just in time for Oberon to unleash his assault.

[[Er-- Attack!]]

Guy's command was redundant and woefully late. Oberon gleefully tore into the remaining viruses, a wordless battle cry echoing continually from his lips as he sprinted across the battlefield in a blur, both weapons plunging and hacking at maximum speed, in an unsubtle but deadly whirlwind of destruction.

Bump.
The Elemperor was helplessly stunned as Oberon quickly got rid of the pest. Now gone, Mushy couldn't help but to start spewing its spores all over, damaging Oberon. However, that didn't stop the navi from slicing and dicing through the viruses with the ElecSword!

Oberon made the final cut with a flourish and a pose, then looked up into the sky, as if he could make eye contact with his Guy through some invisible camera in the sky. "All right, buddy, I'm gonna teach you how to do this busting stuff today, all right?" He yelled, spreading his arms wide. "Just do exactly what I tell ya to. You'll get used to it!"

With that, Oberon sped off again.

[[ Battle 3 start! ]]
As the navi enthusiastically ran deeper into the net, he found another set of viruses just waiting for Oberon! It was a group of Senbon, Starfish, and...a Fishy. I wonder which one doesn't fit in with the other...It doesn't matter since they're going down!

-BATTLE THREE, START!-
(( Goroke, I can't find Senbon on the virus list. I have no idea what they are. D: ))
((I think it's the puffer fish that fires the needles from the body.))
Oberon suddenly took a nearly 90 degree turn across the field, which had turned into more standard Net fare, as he spotted a large group of viruses in the distance. His weapons materialized from wisps of his body and his blue crystal pendant bounced against his chest as he picked up his pace.

Watch out! You're about to run straight into an entire group of-

"Listen closely," said Oberon coldly in response to the human voice. Oberon's voice this time was not his own; it warped and echoed with an otherworldly timbre as he closed the distance to the viruses at a steady pace. "Input a Guard chip. Then read to me every chip in the folder. Do it quickly. I do not need time to comprehend each name, as a human would." By the end of this sentence, Oberon's voice and body had warped into a female form.

The Guard chip came without comment from Guy, a few moments after Titania and Oberon's speech. The Navi nodded approvingly, and her forehead gem glistened in the light.

Three Minibombs. Three Energybombs. RageClaw. Two Cannons.

Guy hurriedly read off the chip labels while Titania and Oberon, showing no signs of listening, started to weave around the battlefield, their appearance alternating between one and the other every few moments. They moved and dodged as a unit, the changes in their body not disturbing them in the slightest, or so it seemed. Eventually, their evasive maneuvers slowed, from erratic quick-stepping to unconcerned pacing, until finally they stood rock-still, weapons raised in defense, still prepared to deflect or sidestep any incoming projectiles, and still flowing between male and female in appearance, even more rapidly than before.

Sword... um...

"Do not stop." Titania was almost, but not quite, angry. Her facial mask hardened, an instant before it was replaced by Oberon's, which immediately flowed back into Titania's, and back again. They stepped forward as one, no longer changing places, but occupying the same place as a single body.

1: Dodge
2: Guard1 [ Reflect 60 ]
3: Double Aegis [ Shield x2 ]
4: Tandem Surge [ Strengthen 120; held until next round ]
5: ((Lost to Afterburner))
Taking on the defense, Titania sorted out defense after defense, holding out against the virus attacks. Attacks came flying from here to another, but the navi dodged and the protections kept him safe for a good length!

...TwinFang. Two AquaNeedles. Wha!?

"All right, boy. Hit the jump." Titania and Oberon walked together towards the enemies, and though Oberon's voice spoke, their shared face now morphed between forms too quickly for any meaningful expression to be seen. They were four arms and three weapons, blades and bow simultaneously at the ready, their step more of a warped flicker than a humanlike walk as their feet switched in place, both strides happening simultaneously and separately, but on the same patch of ground. They were nearly within melee distance of the viruses by the time Guy had reacted to Oberon's command. The first chip came, but did not manifest in any recognizable sense save for a sudden glow of power. Then came the second, and the third, the stored BattleChips' powers taking the forms of swirling orbs of mist that orbited the Navis, building up a formidable aura of destructive power that needed only to be plucked from the air and wielded to kill.

The first flickered into existence as a huge white aura shaped like a shark's tooth, superimposed upon Oberon's bladed fist as it lashed out from the white mass to strike. Titania and Oberon continued to walk forward as a second fang was launched into the heart of the enemy group, originating from Oberon's fist-blade, then continuing through the air. Another ghostly white arm was raised in attack, and-- to Guy's astonishment-- Titania stood and was momentarily distinct from Oberon as she held her bow at arm's length and conjured upon it three orbs of blue light that shot down the length of her arm like arrows and streaked towards three separate enemies.

Titania faded away as Oberon, moving at a casual pace but with grim determination written across his facial mask, walked directly up to two more enemies, then struck out with both hands, another piece of the aura solidifying into extensions of his blades which lanced through the air, rending data in a flash as easily as it flicked weightlessly through empty space. No battle cry escaped his lips as he whirled and made a second cut; his face was as solid as marble as his weapons drew a wide-reaching fan in the air. Then, he was momentarily obscured by a furious hail of arrows from Titania's bow, which materialized in the air already energized with two deadly BattleChips. In the span of a second, eight arrows were put in flight, tiny shafts of smoke that hissed with power, seeking their marks with a hunter's accuracy.

Bump.
Bump.
Titania and Oberon's TwinFang deleted two Senbon viruses. However, having not dealt with the threat of the incoming Starfish bubbles, the pair was encapsulated by a single bubble before they were freed by a second one. Several more bubbles passed them by but none of them made contact. Titania fired her own spray of bubbles in retaliation and managed to trap two of the Fishy viruses with her attack.

Oberon's Elecsword deleted two of the Starfishes in a single slash while the last of the Senbons began to spray the navis with a second volley of spines. A cluster of Titania's arrows deleted the final Starfish as well as the Senbon, but not before Oberon was showered with its needles.

One of the Fishy viruses that was still moving freely became the target of another arched arrow barrage but the Fishy's strafing movements allowed it to avoid being deleted.

Titania / Oberon: 120 HP
Titania tossed her bow aside, and it dissipated into the air, as she started to run at one of the trapped viruses. Her body flickered, then, like the weapon-- she vanished. Oberon faded into view right in melee range-- and he swung both arms, looking to plunge both weapons into his enemy and latch onto its data to activate a potent energy-draining attack.

"Your sister's a better operator," muttered Titania as she faded back into the Net, bolstered by the energy being fed to her through Oberon's energy-drain, "But it's a lot easier to fight when you're there to send chips when we ask." Her weapon reappeared, fully drawn in her hands. As this arrow flew, it congealed into a purple orb of force in the air, that broke on impact into a small explosion. Then a second orb flew, and in the wake of the second explosion, Oberon was there, driving his weapon into a furious upper slash, seeking a finish to the fight.

Titania and Oberon zoom in and sap the first Fishy of its strength, before forcefully deleting it with a Cannon. They blast another shot at the still moving Fishy, but miss entirely as it flees from the battlefield.

Grunting with effort, Oberon cuts down the last Fishy with a clean sword swipe.

"Is your sister back yet?" Called Oberon, standing on a charred plot of Net where an enemy virus once stood.

Yes... sorry for earlier-- hey!

There was a loud noise from Kazu's microphone as the headset was manhandled in the real world.

"Well, now that she's here, tell her that you make it a lot easier to fight than she does."

The response was silence. Oberon barely contained a snicker as he marched deeper into the Net.
