RiderMan managed to dismount from the Fishy without suffering damage, so far so good. However, many foes still remained, and his inventory of chips was being rapidly depleted.
Charles, send me a Shotgun, please!
The bed-ridden NetOp found the requested chip and started to slot it in as RiderMan tried to pick out a target. He focused primarily on the Cattack, but he also wanted to see if he could catch a Fishy in the blast upon firing his shotgun. While his right "hand" was still bearing a curved set of claws, his left hand retreated into the hub of the wheel, quickly replaced by a cylindrical gun barrel.
RiderMan secured his footing by taking a slightly wide stance and aimed his weapon forward. He tried to line up a Fishy direcly behind the Cattack; it would be a waste to use the chip on only a single target, for he only had 2 more chips left. An audible clank was heard within the barrel, indicating the weapon was loaded and ready to go. This was a difficult shot, the Cattack is nice and slow but the confused and frenzied Fishys could prove to be much more difficult to tag. For this reason he waited for a couple seconds to securely line up his targets.
Once he believed he found the best opportunity, he fired the shotgun with a deep bellowing blast, firing a spray of energy shot towards the viruses. Hopefully some of the projectiles caught both targets, but he had plenty more opponents to deal with. The gun barrel quickly retreated into the wheel, and RiderMan leaped off the line, cruising towards one of the other Fishys. His lower wheels squealed as they spun violently to propel the Navi forward.
Take this!
As he got close to the virus, his left lower wheel stopped and caused him to start to rotate counter-clockwise. His right stopped as well to act as a point of rotation as he skidded forward, and he started to bend his right leg. He lifted his left leg as it started to swing behind him. As soon as he almost made a full 360 spin, he jumped with his right leg as he thrusted his left towards the virus, doing his best impression of a "jumping back kick." The kick itself didn't have much power behind it, but the dizzying speed in which the strike was executed may had been enough to leave the Fishy seeing stars.
As soon as he landed from the kick, he crouched down again as his head snapped towards the Fishy he once rode. Bringing his claws to bear, he lunged towards the virus and swung his clawed right hand in a downwards motion in an attempt to dice the virus into several pieces in a single blow.
ACTIONS:
1. Shotgun: CattackB, FishyA (50dmg Spread1)
2. Wheel Bash: FishyC (Movement + 10dmg + Stun + 2TCD)
3. RageClaw1: FishyB (40dmg Slashing) [3/6 uses]

RiderMan quickly righted himself and received a new stock of weaponry from his operator. Starting off slow (or rather, stationary), the Navi carefully aimed the barrel of his weapon at the Cattack. As one of the Fishys passed behind the virus, RiderMan fired the Shotgun. The spread of the attack smacked into the Cattack full force, grazing a Fishy on the way past and leaving both significantly damaged. Afterward, he charged at another Fishy with a somewhat stylish flying kick, the speed allowing him to land a direct hit. Finally, RiderMan tried to strike the only unscathed Fishy and connected... as the virus smacked into him. His claw jerked around as the virus impacted and sunk itself into the thing, deleting it and sending him rolling across the ground.

RiderMan's strikes hit their respective marks, though he himself was hit by one of the viruses' counterattacks. This threw off his balance a bit and had him tumble to the ground, though he was quick to flip back to his feet. He brushed off his shoulder non-chalantly before pumping his fist, nodding in the process.
Didn't even chip the paint! Charles, send me our last two chips, Cannon and FireHit!
Chuck looked down at his chips; his navi was right, there were only a pair of chips they had not yet used this battle. He quickly slotted them into the PET and uploaded the chip data to RiderMan, prompting the slightly bent claws over his right tire to fold away, allowing a gun barrel to slide forward in its place. He pointed the barrel of the weapon towards the Cattack as it was loaded with a single solid slug.
He aimed directly at the Cattack's turret before discharging the cannon with a flash of light and a loud boom. Some smoke was discharged from the cannon, but the shockwave produced by the round caused it to quickly disperse. With any luck, the solid metal round would blast a sizeable hole in the tank virus and bring the persistent foe down.
Not to waste time, the Navi quickly deactivated the cannon chip, causing the barrel to slide back into the hub of the wheel, and the tire panels slid back into place. However, the tire started to glow, building from a deep crimson to a vibrant orange before literally catching fire and burning brightly. RiderMan focused on the dazed Fishy he attacked not long ago, drawing his right arm back and widening his stance. In the blink of an eye he fired off a blindingly fast right jab, launching a fiery afterimage of his wheel towards the Fishy.
The spinning disk of flames burned through the air in its forward and back flight path, returning to RiderMan. In the meantime, he shifted his focus to the last remaining Fishy. He extended his right arm to "catch" the flaming wheel, causing the flames to stick to his arm. He then shifted his legs to face his final target, followed by his upper torso rotating to the left to face the Fishy. As he turned, he drove his right arm down in a sharp arc, which quickly rose into a vicious uppercut. The flames jumped from his wheel as soon as he started the strike, and mimicked the movement of his own wheel by cruising close to the ground before whipping upwards in an effort to smack the Fishy with a rising disk of flame.

Desperate times called for desperate measures, and nothing is more desperate then being down to your final attacks to take out the rest of the enemy forces. But RiderMan kept his cool, even when he lit those viruses up in a blaze of fiery glory and cannon fire. Which as it happens is exactly what happened, with each one of his strikes hitting their marks, the last of those Fishy viruses soon falls to the ground in a smoldering heap, leaving only one man standing.

RiderMan kept his fist raised in an uppercut position as the final virus fell before him. The Navi triumphantly snapped his arm back towards his chest, pumping his "fist".
Now that's how it's done! Great work, Charles!
[Thanks, RiderMan...]
Putting his tires on his hips, he looked up towards Chuck and nodded once as he spoke.
Looks like you're getting the hang of this quickly, Charles! I'm glad to have such a promising partner! How about we keep going? I still have plenty of gas in the tank!
Charles looked up from his PET, pulling him back to reality, back to his hospital bed and shattered limbs, back to the pain... He didn't want to go back, not yet. The wounded young man looked back down to the PET, not quite forming a smile on his face just yet.
[...sure.]
RiderMan's engine roared with excitement, causing his lower wheels to spin for a moment, sliding freely over the grass.
Alright! Let's get to it!
Kicking into a higher gear, RiderMan eased forward and started to drive off, roaming further into the network.
((Ready for Battle #4))

Riderman kicked off and rolled out deeper into the network, and soon he'd start to feel that great breeze coming from the ocean as he started drawing close to the great waters of the network. And low and behold he'd soon find a group of viruses playing in the sand and mud on the beach. Being watched over, or perhaps having a Miner lookout. Still what may catch his attention more is close by, a glowing green diamond seemed to float just above the sand, but before he'd have a chance to check it out, two little ninja's seemed to pop out of the sand suddenly, signaling the others that playtime was over.

The rolling Navi finally made it to the shoreline, and was greeted by the sound of waves crashing against the sand, and a pleasantly cool breeze. However, RiderMan wasn't the only one to enjoy the beachfront area; several viruses were seemingly enjoying themselves in the sand, plus there was a peculiar green octahedron floating a few dozen feet away. This slowly rotating gem caught both Chuck's and RiderMan's eyes, taking their focus away from the seemingly occupied viruses ahead.
[What's that?]
Though this was the first time RiderMan has seen one of these objects on the Net, but he instantly recognized it thanks to the guides he read before being given to Chuck.
That appears to be a "Mystery Data." It's like a treasure chest, but you won't know what's inside unless you open it up! Let's have a look!
RiderMan started to approach the GMD, but was stopped in his tracks as a pair of pint-sized ninja viruses leaped out of the sand. The Navi widened his stance and put up his front tires like large fists, ready for a fight.
Looks like I'll have to stomp these guys first. Let's try out that new chip as well as the Quake, Charles!
While RiderMan was slowly cruising towards the shoreline, Charles had scanned the new chip data to one of his blank battlechips, printing out a brand new TankCannon1. It looked pretty strong, and apparently had a secondary mode, using an explosive shell. He picked the chip up from the small table attached to his bed and slotted it into the PET. He waited for the chip to upload before sliding the chip out, and started to do the same with the Quake1.
Having confirmed the upload of the chip, RiderMan whipped his arms forward to place the two halves of his front wheel together in front of him. The front-most panels folded back as a large gun barrel slid forward. He initially aimed towards the Genin ahead, but he decided to train the weapon on the flopping fish viruses in the mud closer to the water. They appeared to be closer together, and he didn't want to risk damaging the mystery data. He aimed at the center of the group of Mudfeesh, and fired. The noise, muzzle flash, and recoil was noticeably larger than his shotgun or cannon, hinting at the superior firepower provided by the TankCannon. Both of RiderMan's arms were kicked upwards slightly, and he split his wheel apart in the process, just as the round detonated with a loud boom, spraying mud and shrapnel over the area.
Since the Genin were relatively close, RiderMan guessed they would likely try to take a shot at him as well, so the Navi tried to stay one step ahead of the little ninja viruses by cart-wheeling to the right. He used only his left "hand" to spring over the grass below, since a small orb was being held the small hand that protruded from his right tire. Once he landed back on his feet, he tossed the orb towards the bulbous Miner virus. The orb looked like it was going to just soar over the virus, but it paused directly above it, and swelled into a large stone weight, imitating the Powie virus's attack form. The pillar of stone plummeted downward, hopefully crushing the virus under its weight.

RiderMan started off this battle with a bang, a really big bang! One that quickly overtook two of those poor mud playing feesh, wiping them out easily. Though after his attack he decided to move before tossing his next attack, which as it turned out was a great idea. As the surviving Mudfeesh tried to jump and tackle down onto him, though his quick moves got him out of the way in time.
And while those Genin watched on threateningly, they really made no moves to attack yet, though the Miner wasn't going to wait, as the ground beneath it started to open up and he started to sink, just as that Powie imitation started to come down. Quickly becoming a race to see what would fall fully first, the attack, or the virus sneaking away. It was close, and almost hard to know for sure, but when that Quake smashed down and disappeared, the Miner and it's portal hole were nowhere to be seen.

Though the Genin popped up aggressively at the start of the battle, they didn't attack while the Navi deleted half of the viruses. This struck him as odd, maybe they were waiting for a chance to counter attack? RiderMan turned to face the ninja-like viruses, his visor nearly glowing with excitement.
Waiting for me to make the first move, hm? Charles, please send me our trusty RageClaw chip, so I may oblige them!
Chuck silently retrieved the chip and slotted it into the PET, curious as to how his Navi would approach this situation. It sounded like he was going to take the offensive, obviously, but in what way? RiderMan confirmed the upload of the chip data, prompting the panels that made up his right tire to fold outwards and connect like segmented fingers as they curved and sharpened to a wicked set of claws.
Suddenly, RiderMan quickly jumped to the side, over towards the Mudfeesh that attempted toberry frop tackle him. Once he was close enough, he tried to scoop up the virus in his claws, possibly sinking a few of the claws into the virus to keep it still for just a few moments. He then refocused on the Genin in the sand, then attempted to sling the fish-like virus towards the squat Genin. As soon as he chucked the virus, his engine revved and his wheels spun wildly as he dashed forward towards the viruses.
It appeared RiderMan not only took the offensive route, but he was charging headlong into the viruses. However, he was fairly prepared. He wasn't just blindly charging in, the hurtling mudfeesh would hopefully cause the genin to be caught off guard, or at least disrupt a simultaneous counter attack. RiderMan was preparing a counter of his own, mainly a dizzyingly fast left hook to literally knock one of the Genin off guard. If his attacks weren't successful at all, at least he would have closed the gap between himself and his enemy, putting them in his preferred combat range.

Charging tackles were done, a fish was caught in some sharp claws, only to get its own method of attack used against another as it was suddenly flung at a ninja. Who was caught by complete surprise at seeing its ally turned weapon coming his way, smacking the little guy head on. And as if that wasn't bad enough it dazed him long enough for RiderMan to get in give it a painful left hook that knocked it senseless. Granted the other Genin leaped out of the line of fire, but his kunai seemed to be no match for RiderMan's speed.

It appeared the Navi's risk paid off, leaving one virus stunned and RiderMan without a scratch. Without hesitation, RiderMan took advantage of the Genin's daze and tried to rend the virus into pieces with a diving, diagonal slash with his claws. After hopefully dicing up his target, the claws started to revert into their curved rectangular panel-like forms, hugging the rim of the wheel and reforming the tire.
Charles, let's wipe 'em out with a FireHit!
[Okay, hang on.]
Charles hurriedly put the PET down and reached towards the stack of chips near his side, but he was greeted by a shock of pain near his left collarbone. This painful reminder of his injuries caused him to wince as he slowed down, trying not to move his shoulders as he retrieved the chip, and slotted it into the PET.
RiderMan's right wheel quickly started to glow before bursting into flames, prompting the Navi to swing into action. With the Genin paired up close to eachother, it was a fairly simple operation to deliver a blistering right straight towards the squat ninja virus. The impact and accompanying flames would pack enough literal "punch" to delete the virus, and with RiderMan's eyes focused on his target, it would be somewhat difficult to miss something that close. However, the Mudfeesh was a slight distance away. The Navi lined up the virus as he turned towards it, drawing his "fist" back a second time. Once he got a good fix on the virus, he fired off a quick right straight, causing the flames to leap from his arm. The fiery shadow of his wheel burned through the air as it made a beeline towards the virus.

With the one little ninja left stunned it was helpless to defend itself against the sudden attack and was quickly cut down. And with two surprisingly set of punches, Riderman easily took out the remaining viruses, though with his back turned, it seemed the second ninja had one surprise in waiting, as it managed to send a trio of flying Kunai towards the navi, and while the first missed him completely, he'd feel the sharp pain of two knives stabbing into him, so perhaps it wasn't a total victory, but a victory none the less.

Upon bringing down the viruses, RiderMan struck a triumphant pose as the viruses fragmented and faded away. It was then he realized he had a pair of kunai sticking out of his back, prompting the Navi to make an embarassed laugh as he clumsily brushed away the knives with his arms.
Well that was interesting, sneaky little buggers...
The Navi's attention returned to the floating green mystery data, and he happened to notice some zenny and chip data in the sand around it. He slowly rolled towards the MD while scooping up the spoils, downloading them directly to the PET.
Got another chip for ya, Charles!
Chuck nodded and picked up a blank chip, slotting it in to burn the data to it. In the meantime, RiderMan extended his arms towards the MD. The tire panels slid away as his hands folded out, touching the MD to access its contents.

RiderMan pumped his fist as a new battlechip emerged from the Mystery Data, a very useful one at that.
Haha, success! Now we have another chip to add to our arsenal!
The chip data quickly disappeared as the Navi downloaded it to the PET, prompting Chuck to slot in a blank chip. As the chip data was burned to the physical chip. RiderMan looked up and down the shoreline, pondering where to go next. His body was a little beaten up, but all of his important functions were still operational, and he was finally getting warmed up.
The PET spat out the new chip, revealing the glowing red dagger-like design on its face. He gingerly placed it back in the pile of chips next to his bed before looking back down at his screen. RiderMan's engine started to purr again, indicating he was still full of energy and ready to go.
Shall we keep going, Charles? I'm ready when you are!
[... yeah, okay.]
With that, the Navi spun his wheels before rolling away from the shoreline to more solid ground, ready to take off down the coast.
((Ready for Battle #5))

As RiderMan continued down the beach, he found a nice flattened bike path through the sand, handy for moving faster along the coast. Unfortunately, before he could enjoy a nice couple of kilometers along the stretch, another navi (two navis) burst out of a nearby sand dune. He hadn't noticed them because the sound of the motor had mixed with his own, but in a flash, there they were.
The bottom navi was a girl in orange armor, outfitted like a dune buggy. She was fairly short and had transformed her boots into large-wheeled dune navigators, which were essential, considering the kind of terrain she was being force to navigate. On top of her, and holding some sort of thin key into the back of the other navi's armor between her shoulderblades, rode a much taller woman, dwarfing the navi upon whose shoulders she rode. Practically the only piece of clothing she wore was a green hood and cape, which flapped around her in the wind. Besides that, she was clad only in a green superhero's (or villain's) eye-mask and a teensy bikini of the same color, which hid almost none of her tremendous, flailing breasts, nor her bottom as it outlandishly bounced upon the other navi's shoulders.
RiderMan would have been hard pressed to find anything more ridiculous on the beach. The navi on top was busy ignoring the lamentations of the one on the bottom, using one hand to hold a large diamond. The way she was admiring her prize made it clear she wasn't the one doing the steering. "Heeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeee!" the one below cried, keeping pace just beside RiderMan.
"Ha ha ha! A challenger, here to contest my perfect get-away! Let's see you keep up with my mighty steed!" the one on top guffawed obnoxiously, kicking her bare heels against the chest of the other.
"I'm an official beach patrol officer, not your- ooof!" she grunted, wheezing as the other navi continued kicking for her to speed up.

The Navi stayed upright as he carefully navigated over the sand, but luckily he happened upon a sturdy bike path. RiderMan made a quick hop from the sand to the path, his wheels making a satisfying chirp as they finally achieved some decent grip. Ah, that's more like it, the navi sighed happily. He pitched forward and brought his forward wheels down on the path. He smoothly eased into a nearly prone position, bringing both pairs of wheel halves together and assuming a motorcycle profile. He picked up speed, enjoying the smooth stretch ahead. However, without warning, he had a visitor on the path. Woah! the Navi cried out in surprise, banking away to avoid a collision as the new arrival barged onto the path. Chuck watched intently, almost gasping when the figure suddenly appeared. However, on closer inspection the figure was actually two navis, one riding upon the shoulders of the other. The one on the bottom cried out for help, making it quite apparent the bikini and hood/cape-clad Navi was not a welcome passenger.
The Navi challenged RiderMan as they drove side-by-side, and strangely incriminated herself at the same time... This would not do. RiderMan spoke directly to his Operator as he started to speed up. Charles, be ready to send some battlechips, it appears I may have to strike down this criminal! Chuck nodded and gingerly started to gather up his chips in anticipation; he didn't rush, otherwise he'd only injure himself more. Riderman dashed ahead before standing upright and spinning 180 degrees to face the pair, still keeping pace with them down the path. He raised his right arm as his wheel folded out into a five-fingered hand, pointing his palm towards the hooded Navi. He had his stance spread a bit wider than shoulder-width apart, keeping himself stable and prepared to potentially dive out of the way of an obstacle or attack.
Halt, villain! I cannot allow you to hijack a fellow Navi, or use them as an accessory for robbery! Stop now and unhand the officer, or face justice! the navi yelled heroically. Chuck noticed his pose looked oddly similar to the opening pose "Super Rider" would take when challenging his foes, but RiderMan had the added difficulty of pulling that pose while travelling backwards at a significant speed. RiderMan waited for a response, but was prepared for a reply in the form of an attack, and would either jump or roll out of the way. Though he didn't want to attack the rediculously-dressed robber, he would do so if she forced his hand. Even then, she was barely clothed, let alone armored... regardless, it wasn't going to end well for her.

"So you're NetPolice? Or beach patrol? Whatever you are, I don't care, because I'm making a clean getaway this time!" the navi guffawed, waving her diamond as if attempting to menace RiderMan with it. "My name is Hood, remember it! I'm a thief who robs from the rich."
"And gives to the poor?" Dune questioned, only to be silenced by another kick.
"No, silly! I'm the one going through all the trouble, so I should get to keep the rewards, right? Hahahaha!" Hood cackled, holding the diamond up to her yes to admire it again. "Technically, it's still kind of evening out the distribution of wealth, right? So who are you two to judge me? Step on it, you dunebuggy! The legacy of the net's greatest thief isn't going to end here!" Despite her words, RiderMan was keeping such a pace that she gained no headway on him at all; the two continued to ride neck-to-neck. "That's the way you want to play, huh? Try this on for size then! Ha ha, Trident!"
She brought a bow out of nowhere (one of the perks of being a net navigator) and aimed it in RiderMan's direction. He was able to dodge each of the shots, however. It seemed that he might have better control over his own weapons than she did, because, unlike her, he was more in control of his ride and less prone to bouncing. His ride was, after all, a ride, and not another navi he had latched onto the back of. "Well... I never claimed to be William Tell, did I?" the other navi scoffed. "If only I had somewhere to put down this diamond, I'd hit you for sure. You ought to be amazed I can fire a bow while holding a diamond! Ha ha ha ha!"
"That's a pretty lame thing to brag about," the other navi pointed out, but this time, she didn't receive a kick. The other navi was preparing her bow again while aiming at RiderMan. Like many, she didn't seem prepared to drop her heist to any enforcer of the law until she was forced to.

RiderMan dodged Hood's attacks, but after putting the blame for her crummy aim on the fact she was holding the diamond, she prepared another set of arrows. RiderMan, still rolling backwards ahead of the Navis, remembered seeing a thin key being held in place on the Patrol Officer Navi's back, maybe that's how Hood could control her? Acting purely on that data, RiderMan crouched down quickly, revving his engine loudly before leaping into the air, attempting to somersault over the pair of Navis. RiderMan quickly spotted his landing as he flipped over the Navis, coming down cleanly on the road behind them. His lower wheels chirped and coughed white smoke as the touched down, quickly spinning up to allow him to keep pace behind them.
While Charles watched silently, RiderMan quickly engaged the thief. He needed to knock the Navi off her "steed" or at least foul up her aim, but striking an armor-less Navi wasn't exactly the best situation for him. However, he chose the area with the most "padding" as he hopped up slightly, swinging a rising right kick directly at her nearly bare rear end, in an attempt to kick her skyward or at least send her up and over Dune. At least his wheeled foot would provide more of a spread out amount of force, and he tried to deliver a kick with a sweet spot somewhere between a painful love-tap and a spine-telescoping galactic punt. As soon as he regained his balance from the kick, he reached out with his right hand and attempted to pull the key from Dune's back.
He had to act quickly though, because he anticipated at least the diamond would end up getting knocked into the air from his previous kick. He looked up, trying to locate it quick enough for him to dash into position to catch it. If it were indeed a diamond, it shouldn't be damaged by a fall onto a road or into the sand, but regardless he should recover the stolen property. If Hood was still holding the diamond, he'd attempt to catch and apprehend her. If they were separate, he'd focus on the diamond. Even if they ended up landing in different spots, chances are he'd beat her in a foot race if she attempted to flee. The Navi's engine howled loudly as he dashed into position.

Hood's smirk didn't fade, but her lips closed and she tilted her head up in a challenging way, as she realized that RiderMan's speed was enough to keep up with Dune's. "Maybe I should have picked you as my getaway wagon instead? Ha ha ha!" the thief joked, slapping the back of Dune's shoulder as if she expected her captive to laugh along with her. Cautiously, the navi turned her head to watch the road, which turned out to be the wrong move; RiderMan seized the moment and landed a fierce kick to her inappropriately exposed butt, sending her flying into the air, heels over head.
Her laugh turned into a frustrated wail as she barely managed to hang on, now clinging to the front of Dune instead of the back so that the unfortunate captive found her face smothered by the captor's breasts. "I can't see! Get off, we'll crash!" Dune urged Hood frantically.
"Into what!? And you're on autopilot anyway!" the thief retorted, climbing up to look over at RiderMan again. She didn't like what she saw: namely, RiderMan grabbing hold of the key she had used to put Dune on said autopilot mode. "Don't-!" she exclaimed, but it was too late; he grabbed it and plucked it out, causing Dune to stop abruptly. RiderMan narrowly avoided crashing into her himself. Hood and her diamond, on the other hand, went flying forward off of their ride... the diamond was barely possible to follow, becoming a glint in the sunlight, while the criminal landed gracelessly upside down in a sand dune, her legs flailing in the air and her cape pooled around the entrance to the burrow containing her upper body.
RiderMan managed to uncover the diamond; it had thankfully not shattered. Although it appeared to be a diamond containing a data packet... with Heat-V chip data inside! He was the fastest guy left standing and had it in his hands, if he wanted to pull a fast one. Dune was disabled and Hood had only just pulled herself out of the sand.
"Don't you move, you dirty thief!" Hood rasped, still spitting out sand as she talked. She was rather literally now a dirty thief. She drew back out her bow and aimed an arrow. "I collect those diamonds; there is much more to them than a simple piece of chip data! Let's make a trade. How about I give you one of my Arrow1 chips, you give me the diamond, and we call it square? Otherwise, I'm going to shoot you with the arrow chip instead, and trust me, it WILL sting! Tehehehee!" She was already preparing the arrow in her bow, so even though her mood seemed improved, it didn't look like she was counting on him agreeing.
RiderMan had a lot of options now for making a profit, although, he would also recall that this was surely someone else's diamond and chip data. He might still do well to help the beach patrol apprehend the thief, since she was still shaking off the effects of that autopilot key.
