World Tour, part 1

Lucia set her sights upon the creatures that had caught notice of them, her happy skipping halted by such an overwhelming force of creatures, worst of all they were of her own weakness.

But it was no time to back down and as such she turned her sights upon the targets of her ally's icy spears. drawing her hands together before her as she started to draw and swirl her arms and wrists about. Within a few soft breaths the flowing breeze would start to draw down and begin to twist and compress itself down between her hands. Tighter and tighter she gathered the pressure, hissing softly as the wind seemed to hate being confined and whipped about at her in return, placing painful slashes against chest, cheeks, arms, even slicing into her tube top randomly. Finally when she felt she could contain this force of nature no longer she thrust her hands forth, sending the small compressed orb towards the center of the bubbled creature's group. Waiting for the right moment before she clenched her hands tightly, signaling the blasts release, which would create a violent squall of pressurized winds slashing about at anything caught within its might rage.

No sooner had she set the rage of the east and western winds upon those enemies, then her form seemed to begin to phase slightly. Her physical features starting to blur and darken until she soon seemed to be nothing more than a ghostly figure standing there on the battlefield. Turning her attention towards her wolf she reached out, offering to him the protective flames that were normally reserved for herself. The burning bubble quickly surrounding the beast, forming a glowing barrier around the support program, which quickly took to moving once it was under protection, attempting to separate and give the enemies more targets to attempt to strike, as well as avoid their rage.

Next came about a darkened, shadowy blaze that seemed to surround the now the out of phase navi. It would last but a few moments, but while it did the navi seemed almost lost in pure bliss as those flames started to restore her lost strength, even mend her torn scraps of clothes.

Finally the navi reached for her quiver to draw her newest arrows. Drawing them both together as she set her gaze upon those closed shells. Waiting for the moment each of them would open before releasing those twin arrows. Upon their release the arrows phased right back into the network, the shafts seeming to sink into the cone light tips, which caused those arrowheads to expand to large spikes while sailing towards their respective targets.

As Saluki prepared her AquaNeedle attack, Lucia was already starting off the offensive, with her tempest attack on the Nautilus working perfectly to dispel their bubble defenses. The Nautilus focused their attacks on her, sending rushing aquatic towers at her, but all failed as her Shadow form emerged, rendering the Nautili (?) and their aqua-towers useless. Saluki's needle attack worked perfectly to finish them off, hitting each without flaw. The Raingears saw this stuff going whoa, this ain't good, and launched some more aqua-towers, one at each of their enemies. The one heading for Artio and Lucia did not hit, but the one going for Saluki did. (15) She managed to put up some grass to heal herself (+5) but not for much. She retaliated with a Shockwave, which managed to rattle the tree and hit the virus behind it for damage as well. Then she blew off the WindBox from atop the tree, dropping it into the sand and causing it to... do nothing except sit there and blow hot air at its predicament.

The Shell-viruses did nothing but absorb some blows Lucia threw at them after some healing, which kinda plonked off without anything happening. They then opened themselves up, revealing some kind of weird angryface inside.

[sorry about the delay I been getting hit with changed hours and shifts at work which been screwing me up.]

Sally was rather wide eyed while the tower of water approached, and left dripping from the retaliation. She had spent so much focus on offence she left little time to defend herself. The water tower soaking her fur and cloth down and drenching her to the bone; seems like she would never be dry again at least the wind box was still around and blowing.

Even with her feet on the grass she was taking too much damage for her liking. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she seemed to be visibly shaken, with her head pointed upwards and a low and sickening gasp escaped as she finally exhaled. Smokey gray tendrils expelled violently from her snout, eyes and muzzle which started to quickly fill the area immediately around Sally and form a protective barrier.

"Sally the tree's use this on the tree's." Sullen spoke while she loaded in the next chip. Pulsar changed her left arm from the elbow down to the fat and stubby sound cannon and thankfully a tree was a stationary target. As long as the sound wave didn't get blown off course, the attack intercepted and her aim stayed true she should be able to hit it.

Her offensive would continue as soon as the chip disappeared; she didn't want it to become a tug of war against the wind box but she had little choose but to use her new subtype side grade against it. Four rings of her bell and flat palms; it was her only real damaging signature attack. Two swirling and spiraling balls of wind started to form above each hand and condense enough to be fired forward as a projectile. Or as someone put it 'fireballs!' in essence yes, in element know. It didn't mean that you couldn't be burned, blistered or sheared by the wind! Four of those orbs launching one after each other at the wind box hoping the shot was strong enough to overcome that constant gusting.

Lucia seemed thrilled when her new attack struck home, and she should consider the backlash it'd taken. Still the shadowy navi let out an annoyed huff as her twin arrows, her new toy bounced right off the other viruses. "Hey no fair, you can't have armor like that! Stupid things, not cute at all!"

Reaching back the shadow of the fiery navi took firm hold of a new arrow. Pulling the bolt from her quiver to ready into the ghostly bow of fire and draw it back. This one's tip held a small, static filled orb at the head, and she quickly took aim and let the arrow fly. Mid flight the bolt rematerialized into the networked, its orb sparking to life as it sailed for the first of the shells. With luck the attack would strike, and the after effects of its thunderous blast would strike down both those armored muscles.

Second chip followed as her shadow figure started to phase back into the digital world completely. Gone was her near ghost like appearance, though as it left a new blistering flame surrounded the navi, offering another safeguard from her foes. Holding the new weapon fast, Lucia drew back her arm and mimicked her impression of a bowler as she hurled the large metal orb forward. Upon contact with the grassy plane the ball sparked to life violently crackling the air with its abundance of energy as it rolled its way towards its own target, those accursed raingears.

Upon its release navi took to the move, rushing over to offer some aid to her ally, waiting just long enough for the foxy fem to make her last strike before settling in between her and the trees. Third chip beamed down after as navi lifted her arm while the large, yellow shield formed in front of her. Course it meant she could risk glance at her partner, looking on curiously. "You sure seem to like getting wet a lot. Doesn't that like, get your fur all rough and matted down or make it smell bad? What about your robe, bet it's hard to dry. I hate water, so I don't get why you like getting wet so often." Course navi blinked at the end, calling out softly to the larger beast who was keeping keen eyes on the enemy, ready to avoid anything that came his way. "Arty! Make sure you don't get wet! I don't have a brush to comb your fur!!"

While Saluki recovered from the blast of water she'd received, Lucia forged onward with enthusiasm. Her electric arrow struck the target dead on and deleted it instantly. The ensuing bolts shot off and showed its partner why staying in line with its friend was a bad idea. By this point Saluki had recovered from her impromptu bath and reinforced herself with a presumably waterproof barrier. She then proceeded to make use of the sent Pulsar, aiming it at the tree several viruses seemed to favor.

The sonic blast rang out as it impacted, causing the tree to splinter into pieces and sent waves of energy in every direction. The hiding Raingear was doomed the moment the attack made contact, and its friends weren't too well off either. The WindBox was even worse off after Saluki sent several writhing balls of wind to assail it. Being stuck in sand and immobile in the first place, the attack had no trouble finishing off the virus.

In the closing act of the battle, the final virus decided to send a wave of water toward Saluki while she was attacking the WindBox. Lucia did not approve of this, and deftly stepped in the way with her Guard. The Raingear took notice and tried to move, but the speedy retaliation provided by the shield was too much for it.

Sally was alittle surprised at the little poppet taking the blow for her. In the short run Sally might be better at mitigating and healing damage taken; but the little girl was better at it in the long run. She would let the little joke and flurry of questions pass for now and just rub her paw firmly into the girl's hair. "Thanks kiddo" it was going to take alittle while to get used to busting with a comrade and her guardian.

It wouldn't take too long for the three of them to survey the battlefield and she did grin faintly at the splintered tree; its destruction was worth ending the battle early. Besides clearing the beach net of viruses was more important than some landscaping.

"Are you two ready for another?" she turned her muzzle skyward "Are you two ready for another?" after all if she didn't ask her operator might miss a meal or forget to sleep or something. That and even though Sally did enjoy busting and social networking she would love to be back on their homepage.

[requesting next battle]
Lucia gave a faint smile when she watched the last of the viruses get taken down by its own attempt to strike. Playing guard seemed to be a good call, and with the shield disintegrating she'd turn around to try and get in some sort of sassy remark about saving her friend. Though any attempt she was going to make was cut off as that paw found its way into her flowing hair. Strands seemed to sway and flow around her paw, almost as if she'd eased it into a living flame, though there was no pain or anything more than the light warmth given off by her presence. Still the petting and praise seemed to leave her giddy as she curled her hands together and bounced up onto her toes, if navi's could blush, she'd probably have done so. "Ah... thank you!.."

Still after such praise Lucia quickly turned about and skipped through the grass and sand to gather up her share of the rewards, a glance towards her guardian let her catch him in the act of swallowing down those fragments left behind from the viruses, shaking her head slowly. "Don't get fat from eating too much Arty!"

Wolf gave the girl a false scowl before turning to move towards her as their companion spoke out her question, one which brought a soft whine from Lucia. "What, do we have too? It's so sandy and dusty and wet here, I don't wanna go--eep!" last was interrupted as Artio scooped under the navi's legs and lifted her atop his back, starting to move up beside Saluki. I believe the Master wants us to explore this network, so we will press on."
Sure Lucia seemed cross about the idea, though she just crossed her arms and gave a pouty look, voicing no more objections, at least for the moment.

[Requesting next battle]
The trio walked along the sandy path and eventually stumbled upon a set of well-preserved footprints heading in the same direction they were going. Following them on a whim, the navis stumbled upon an unsettling sight: A group of black 'silhouettes' apparently herding a group of foreign elec viruses along. The shadowy entities looked like navi-shaped paper cutouts and lumbered along a slow pace. The viruses seemed to be mildly annoyed by their shepherds but didn't attack. What was going on?

Lucia was still pouting over being forced along with the others on their continued track through this wet, sandy network when they came upon such an odd sight. "Ooo, those don't look like they belong here. Whatcha think they are doing?" Lucia leaned forward slightly atop Artio's back while the wolf stopped to look at the strange formation quite curiously. "Seems they are being led, to where and why I wonder. Bringing them out here. Then again, I'm not much different from those viruses." Lucia let out a soft whine and hugged the wolf, shaking her head quickly. "Nu uh! Your much cuter! Isn't he Sally?"

While the navi was trying to convince the two, orders came down from beyond, with the simple command of 'Target the shadowy figures'. So Lucia hopped off her trusted guardian and drew up the chip that quickly followed, in a fiery blaze twin barrels burst forth from blazing wrist. Aim was well practiced and keen as she took her marks and set off a mighty blast of the double round. Sending two orbs of energy blasting towards two of the 'shepherds'.

[alittle clarification about my last post. What I meant about social networking I mean that Sally would enjoy the mechanics behind it. Sending text/voice messages, alerts, emails etc. Not gabbing on face book or something lol.]

"Ah... oh I think that my opinion would be in bias" after all one beast navi asked her opinion about a support program was complicated enough as is. Still they had to move on at least till there wanderlust on this network was satisfied.

Sally or Sullen had never seen an EleBee or a Magneaker before. The last electric virus that they had encountered (Lucia's Support program doesn't count because he isn't a virus) had thrown a tantrum and spewed lightning bolts about the battlefield. With her and her operators uncertainty they were going to have to test the water; figuratively of course.

"I am going to see if they have any substanc---" whatever subtly there ambush had was instantly lost with the other girls obnoxious attack. The chimes of Sally's bells will be completely overshadowed by the sounds of Lucia's shotgun blast; which was a blessing in its own way.

Five rings of her bell to summon that otherworldly scarecrow. It started once more as a small static, white noise like fissure that ripped and until it became an outright fracture. That charred, emaciated skeleton escaped again. It's broken and twisted, spiked shoulder blades, its empty eye sockets, absent lower jaw and its hanging root like entrails. It was the same monster as before and the aberration attacked with its clawed unkempt finger nails. If its attack connected the boney slash would drain the silhouette and transfer the energy to Saluki. Either way with its work done it slipped right back into the grayscale fissure; which finally started to dissipate like nothing had ever happened and that nightmarish instant was finally over.

"I just hope that they aren't the lesser of two evils" Both operator and navigator where lost in contemplation about what electric viruses where doing in the wrong network; or why they were so strangely arranged with the shadows.

With the element of surprise on their side, Lucia and Saluki struck first and struck... Not really all that hard. Lucia's Shotgun missed her initial target but struck the 1D2 behind it and deleted it in an instant (50). At roughly the same time, Saluki's summoned horror raked across another shadow's back, sapping its health for the navi's benefit. All the remaining creatures were now aware of the two navis and the lone support program and prepared to counter-attack.

Lucia frowned when her strike was off target, even if she'd managed to get one of them, still she scowled softly as her form erupted in flames, bringing about her fiery guard while hand went back to her quiver.

Out came a bright pink arrow, something more befitting the normally bubbly navi instead of the blazing inferno standing in battle. Bringing the bolt back to full draw upon her burning bow she let it fly at her missed target, letting that heart tipped streak sail towards, well towards the heart, if these paper cutouts had such a thing.

With second attempt in flight navi took to the move, kicking up sand as she tried to keep on her toes to avoid any on coming attacks since she knew nothing about her foes. Artio on the other hand was another matter, and in fear of his being struck down, Lucia Drew up a small burning flame in hand. "Here Arty! Battle mode!!" With her little mocked command the ball was sent towards the wolf. And in an instant the creature was surrounded in a brilliant fire.

The change started to take place almost immediately as the fire started to fade and die off, a new look had taken to the mighty feral. Thick, battle hardened armor seemed to cover this war monster from head to claw, lining him in deep crimson that couldn't help but take of a warm glow from the constant charge he was giving off. Still the beast, while armored for now studied his enemy, biding his time to wait for the perfect time to strike.

They where delete-able and that was the most important part. Sullen loaded in sword chip, and with the viruses alerted and well aware of their presence there was there was little time to get this battle moving. With Luicia playing the defensive she was going to try and draw some attention to herself till the firebug and her electric hound where ready to fight.

The dueling sword appeared at her hip in its belt and the navi drew the blade; turning the cutting edge towards her target and aligned herself towards the virus group. The last warning before her strike was two quite jingles of her bell; before she took off in a microburst causing a shock/pressure wave. She streaked across the sand/grass leaving a rather clear and defined path and possibly a dust cloud in her wake. She was going to close the distance like a violent storm!

It was a rather risky move, especially the chance that she fumbles or hurts herself from the strain of intense movement; or because she might end up missing her target completely or she might overshoot and land in the water or even out of the battlefield!

Lucia buffed up her and Artio's defenses before shooting an arrow off at a 1D2, deleting it (50). Saluki rocketed across the sand with some help from her Shockwave and cut down another 1D2 before it could react properly. The last 1D2 had leapt up in an attempt to flatten Saluki under a body slam but she was long gone by the time it was airborne. It landed on the sand where she had been standing, right beside Lucia and Artio. Each of the remaining Elebees buzzed their way into the group, successfully stinging Saluki (20) with an electric shock but being warded off by Lucia's barrier (20) and Artio's casing (20). The Magneakers were next to attack, lobbing a volley of bombs at each of them. Lucia, whose fiery aura was depleted by the Elebee's attack, was struck and paralyzed by one (15 + stun). The second bomb completely sailed over Saluki's head. Artio was also hit by a bomb, despite a failed dodge, but his casing was doing a bang up job at keeping him alive (15).

Well Lucia seemed to be doing fine, at least until the viruses she and Saluki were trying to free turned on them as well. Letting out a soft squeal when the large bee charged at her and struck down her barrier. Hissing towards it angrily, though before she could make any moves she was suddenly struck by a second attack. Letting out a sharp cry in pain as the blast sent a charge sparking through her very core circuits. For a moment she could do little more then let out a shuddering quiver as the charge held her helplessly, only to slump faintly as the current finally started to die down enough for her to gain some self control again.

Once the fiery navi was able to regain herself though she acted in a quick rush as she turned herself about in a quick dancer's twirls, scattering about her NCP's particle data all about herself. Coming to a stop as the sparkling snow fell down upon the sand and started to light it aglow. Within seconds the panels started to change as life erupted from the barren landscape, beautiful, warm grass quickly growing up from the ones dusty panels.

With her quick dance number out of the way the navi turned her sights upon the creature that caused her pain, and its other little friends. This time her aim would be true as she set her target at not the creature itself, but the center of the little trio. Roaring out in a rage unbefitting a lady, let alone one so sweet, the navi burst into flames while her arms thrust into the air. The effects were both a renewed burning guard around her, as well as her attack. As beneath the feet of those beetle like bugs a large flaming circle started to form. It would be the only warning they'd receive because moments later a monstrous eruption exploded from within the circle. The giant fiery pillar rising into the sky threatening to burn away anything that was unfortunate enough to be cause in the blaze.

Her work not done however as in her anger she turned upon the paper cutout that found itself now in clear range of herself. Thrusting out an arm to one side seemed to trigger the next chip that was sent down as two ravaging looking blades extended themselves above her wrist. Giving sharp sweep towards the cutout navi to try and rend it in two.

With her last strike given the navi took to the movie, hoping to avoid anymore electric pain while waiting for a better time to strike.

Artio, much like his charge was angered by such an assault from the very things they were trying to give aid, and quickly charged for the nearest bug, bringing claws forth in a leap to try and rend the bug with its feral slash.

It really was something that she was going to have to get used to, seeing the fiery Navi set a stage full of grass only to destroy it once more. 'It was set for just that reason' she had to keep reminding herself. "Be careful!" the vixen yelled out now that she was in the fray and planned to stay there; and the last thing she needed was to end up being caught up in some friendly fire. They were going to have to compare chips, signatures and NCP when they get a break; maybe a camping trip on her homepage would give the girl a better appreciation of the forest (Albeit a digital one.) and give them time to further strategize and synergize without the stress and improvisation of the battlefield.

Saluki was alittle surprised at the retaliation, mostly because they thought that where helping the virus group "Ease up!" she snarled and growled lowly at the electric virus; even if she couldn't speak virus chatter and had no idea if they could understand her. Her focus turned to the remaining 1D2 now that they had an idea of how they attacked. Maybe with the last Sheppard out of the way the sheep will stop fighting or at least change there tune.

Three rings of her bell and there was a sudden focused rush of air like being caught in a strong gale or storm, attempting to draw in the silhouetted virus back to her position; so it could be neatly impaled/slash with her sword. She was going to have to be careful that it only pulled the 1D2C to her and no one else; if it failed she would have to cancel her slash, not wanting to risk harming Lucia/Artio or even one of the electric viruses. For now.

Finally if she was going to stay in the middle of combat so her new friend(s) could bother their enemies from rage she was going to need staying power. She just assumed that Lucia didn't have any more fire chips to use and wasn't going to be reckless enough to target any area close to her; so she felt safe enough to set grass a second time. After all it was better than trudging through the sands. Bulbs, seeds, roots, vines, petals and other digital plant matter started to swirl outward from the Fox and adjust the terrain to one more useful for her. It was of course much better looking to leave swats of grass then craters in the network and other networks they plan on visiting. Still there battlefield was bound to look messy, the original foliage, what Lucia added and burned and then what Sally added.

A snort and a single ring of her bell for that reliable semi-transparent gray barrier; it started to flow and build around her once more. She didn't have time for a flourish or a war cry knowing that there was still a chance of a lot of incoming damage and she best she used what little time to prepare.

With no delay at all, all three of the Magneakers all locked their sights onto the stunned Lucia and charged at her with surprising speed. Literally flying across the sand, two of them slammed into her (10) (10) while the third veered slightly off course. They crawled back across the sand as she recovered from her paralysis and erected another barrier and warped the ground below the viruses to a more verdant setting. Her BurnSquare erupted under the viruses but her aim turned out to be a bit off and she only catch two of the Magneakers in the attack, deleting them outright (65 x 2) (65 x 2). The grassy patch below them was incinerated and reduced to an ashen soil. Lucia and Artio both joined Saluki and dove into the fray, successfully slashing the other 1D2 apart (40) and mauling an Elebee (10).

Saluki was already in the middle of ringing her bell when the 1D2 was deleted and the torrent of wind drew in another virus instead: a Magneaker. Seeing no point in wasting an attack, Saluki brought her blade down on the virus, bisecting it (80). Finally, she renewed the grass that had been cleared away by the fire and created a barrier.

The few remaining Elebees eventually mustered up the energy to counter-attack and each one darted after a separate target as before. Lucia attempted to dodge but wasn't fast enough. All three viruses hit their respective targets but alas, no damage was dealt thanks to the barriers and casings that had been installed not moments ago.

Lucia couldn't help but give a satisfied smile when she saw two of those bugs get caught up in her fiery pillar, and though annoyed by their taking advantage of hitting her while she was stunned, it didn't hurt too badly. If anything she scowled when the third managed to avoid her attack, but was quickly picked off by her ally. "Hey! Thanks a lot for the assistance!" Giving a faint wave, or at least until the bee's took to their assault, trying in vain to avoid it and letting out a loud yelp from the painful sting. "Hey! I wasn't bugging you! Stupid bugs, I'll show 'em..." Grumbling to herself she drew her arm upwards towards the bugs.

It was just a moment later that her claw's seemed to start to melt and shift, the burning metal starting to reshape itself and cool into two thick barrels. It took a moment for those twin stocks to start glowing bright again, only to let out a flaming burst as twin blasts were shot from the end towards the bugs.

If that wasn't enough a second set was fired off as the gun seemed to burn itself out after that second blaze, giving a soft nod Lucia called outwards towards the sky. "Master! let me strike them again!" Response came but moments later as two arrows materialized in the fiery sprites' hand. Grinning the arrows were brought back as other wrist erupted in her burning bow and formed itself as if already fully drawing back those bolts. Taking but a moment the navi loosed the arrows, sending them sailing through the air towards their respective targets.

With what she was sure would be her final assault she let herself take to the sudden enrapture of flames that surrounded her in its warmth. Letting out a faint contented shiver as those flames started to restore her vitality and really helped ease the suffering brought on by this battle. Artio seemed happy with the progress, and while setting sights upon his previous target, he bowed out instead, leaving it to the vixen to take care of.

Sally was glad that her barrier held out as long as it did; she was going to have to invest into a stronger one another time or maybe some casting instead. Nevertheless her thoughts returned to a focused state and their offensive had to continue; with or without any further mitigation. She wasn't ignoring Lucia's thanks but they could just exchange pleasantries at a later date.

When Sullen loaded in the recovery chip; those dark spiraling circles appeared at Saluki.exe's feet and with each spin and spiral another glyph, sigil and Gilmore was added until black partials enveloped Lucia.exe's position. From the little poppet's view it was like being covered in an Aurora Borealis. Sally was standing on grass, her own element. So she figured that Lucia would need the boost more than she did.

Sally knew how much damage she could put out with her own attacks and chips so she was going to get the most mileage out of her weapons as she could. She turned herself to the side and made sure that her legs where shoulder length apart and knees where bent; right hand behind her as a counterbalance. She kept the hybridized energy blade raised like an extension of her left arm, taking time to make sure that her lunge was going to be precise, because if not she was going to be left rather exposed for a counter attack.
