More Lynternalis healing energies work their magic on Sparky, Lyntael, and Aurora. The three become very healthy again, as if the licks they took under the barrage of viral attacks didn't happen. Lynternalis landed on Sparky as the rocket dog was evading in the air. Lyntael dodged out past the Ashuraid as Aurora blasted it from across the field with an elecrtric blast. The bolt hit the Ashuraid and cut it in half, deleting it. Unfortunately, the balloon, spat out by the Octon, finally caught up to Lyntael and detonated on the navi's barrier. Thankfully, besides the barrier absorbing the blast in its entirety, there was no one else in the huge blast to take the hit besides Lyntael.
The Solarite, having attacked, began orbiting the Lunaroid quickly in a weaving and dancing motion. It was very evasive as the Lunaroid attacked. It angled toward the two flying navis and blasted out a lunar energy laser at Lynternalis. The beam went wide, missing the duo, just before Lynternalis kicked off Sparky and went directly towards the two flying viruses. The Solarite dodged the Slipstream that flowed around the navi as he passed, leaving the Lunaroid to take the brunt of the blow. Aurora blasted the Octon with another such attack. Without the balloon to protect the virus, it took the electric attack head on, deleting it in a shower of sparks. The FortFighter, having replenished its shielding, threw a snowball at Aurora. However, it was not meant for the big leagues of baseball, as it once again misses. Lyntael stares down the Bluegon for her next attack.
The Bluegon sees that as a challenge and breathes icy cold breath all over Lyntael's location. Thankfully, Lyntael still had her barrier which absorbed the damage before going down. Lyntael charges energy as she is struck, energizing her further. Aurora activates a powerful ClusterShot chip and begins pelting the enemy with swarms of electric motes. Two strike the Solarite, two strike the Lunaroid, and nothing hits the FortFighter. The Lunaroid falls down from the sky as it disintegrates. The Solarite stops rotating around the fallen Lunaroid, belting out a wail of sadness as its friend was deleted. Lynternalis follows the falling dead Lunaroid from the sky, aimed towards the FortFighter. He ends up striking the ice at high speed and deleting the FortFighter with a cascade of winds. He also takes heavy damage from the fall. Sparky rockets after him, worried about the fall.
Lynternalis tries to calm Sparky down with reassuring pats on the head as Lyntael moves toward the Bluegon's domain, ready to face the evil dragon down.
Lynternalis went defensive as Lyntael carefully made her way onto the cracked terrain. She then jumped across, trying to get a kick out at the Bluegon as she crossed its path. She struck the Bluegon with a crackling bolt that leapt from her foot. The dragon cried out in pain before tumbling backwards and smashing into the cracked terrain around it. As Lyntael landed on the opposite side, she rolled into an explosion of energy... right next to Lynternalis and Sparky. Thankfully, they both managed to dodge out of the way.
Lyntael felt most of the charge slip away then, including the haziness of her vision.
-- Viruses --
FortFighterFortFighter (FortFighter)
A short little humanoid virus no more than 2 feet tall, the FortFighter uses it stature to its advantage in its combat style of choice: snowball fighting. Being able to endlessly produce snow forts and snowballs, FortFighter will harass you endlessly with below-freezing balls of pain. Its body is outfitted in miniaturized winter gear, including a snow cap, winter coat, and snowshoes. Its only exposure comes from its head, which is just a grey sphere with two big eyes on it. Its hands, which only have 3 fingers each, are a bit disproportionately large compared to the rest of its body. The difference between the virus levels is the outfit: FortFighter is green, FortWarrior is blue, and FortChampion is red.

OctonOcton (Octon)
Octon are fairly large viruses, but instead of using that bulk for direct attacks, they contain a huge amount of elemental energy. They utilize this by forming balloons from their mouth capable of absorbing their chosen element. This does use up a lot of energy, so no more than one balloon per virus can be active at any one time. The balloon itself has an odd homing property, in that as long as it's within sight, it will always try to remain between its creator and the target.
Area: Sharo
HP: 120
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 50 Aqua + (Damage Absorbed) + Blast 3
Primary Attack Accuracy: A
Primary Attack Description: Creates a large balloon with angry eyes that floats toward an opponent. When it hits something, it explodes. It will reach its target the turn after it is created.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: Wind Type + Knockback
Secondary Attack Accuracy: A
Secondary Attack Description: If its own balloon is blown back at it, the virus can blow on it to move it back towards its originally intended target.
Element: Aqua
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): AquaBalloon, Zenny
- Special: Immobile.
- Special: The balloon is treated as an Aqua element object with infinite HP, and the Light, OmniShoes, and AquaBody properties. If hit by an Elec elemental attack, it is instantly destroyed regardless of damage with no explosion. If hit by a non-Aqua attack with Impact or Slashing, the balloon instantly explodes, but the triggering attack's damage is not added.
- Special: Damage Absorbed: All damage the balloon takes is added to its attack damage.
- Special: While active, the balloon has a 50% chance of blocking any long ranged attack directed at the Octon that created it, regardless of whether it would have hit or not. Melee attacks are unaffected.
- Special: This virus will ONLY use its secondary attack on a balloon that has been redirected back at it.: DELETED

AshuraidAshuraid (Ashuraid)
The Ashuraid are a new strain of 6 foot tall semi-humanoid viruses with bodies made of durable metal alloys. Ashuraid viruses lack legs, and instead roll around on a 1 ton solid steel ball 1-foot in diameter that rests in a cupola. Rising from the top of the cupola is an alloy pillar that supports their smooth and curving metal bodies. The key defining feature of Ashuraid viruses are their half dozen free-floating arm segments constructed of an indestructible alloy. Three of these arms feature metallic rights hands, and the other three feature metallic left hands, thus they are differentiated. In combat, the virus will ball these hands up into fists, and launch volleys of rocket punches at their foes. The virus' helmeted head rests upon a short metallic rod-like neck with their faces hidden behind a metallic faceplate. The exception being their mouths, which are generally curved downwards in a permanent frown while in the presence of Navigators. It is speculated that Ashuraid are a hacked derivative of the Bladia viruses spliced together with fragments of other viruses and a healthy dose of battlechip program data. This would account for their size, strength, and malicious nature. Where and how this was possibly accomplished is unknown. Ashuraid viruses move and dodge at better than average speeds, although they rarely choose to dodge at all. Ashuraid viruses are ranged attackers, and prefer to hold the range open against their enemies as melee range attacks with their Impacting abilities generally render Counters useless. Ashuraids attack by launching their six free-floating indestructible alloy arms at one or more enemies in volleys of 3 rocket punches. It takes 3 arms to execute a MeteorKnucke attack, 3 to execute a Counter attack, and all 6 to execute their GiantHook attack. It takes roughly an action of cooldowm time after executing a long distance attack for the arms used in the attack to return to the Ashuraid's side. During this time, they may not execute a Counter Attack if they do not have enough arms available. Ergo if all 6 arms are either being used in an attack, or in cool-down following an attack or counter attack, the Ashuraid cannot use a Counter. The rest of their attacks do not require their arms to return to their side. The return feature is automatic, and does not require actions to perform. Ashuraid can move while attacking or defending, and are allowed to counter while dodging if enough arms are available. Setting a counter requires an action while executing one does not. Ashuraid are extremely heavy viruses that will sink like the lead weights they are in liquid, and they know it. They will avoid liquid terrain entirely, if possible, and will never appear near these types of naturally occurring terrain for this reason. Only an Ashuraid's body is damageable. Striking an Ashuraid's floating arms will not damage the virus or the arms themselves, no matter what you hit them with. The Ashuraids will not intentionally defend themselves with their arms outside of their Counter ability, which is nullified by Impact. Do not abuse this.
Area: Sharo, NAXA
HP: 100
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 5 Null + Impact + Break x 3 Fists
Primary Attack Accuracy: B
Primary Attack Description: Launches three rocket fists at distant opponents. Each fist may target individually, meaning multi-hit and/or multi-target both work up to a max of 3 punches.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: Counter vs Damage: 5 Null + Impact + Break x 2 Hits
Secondary Attack Accuracy: S (Block) / B (Counter)
Secondary Attack Description: Uses a trio of fists to block a non-Impact attack while executing a double punch counterstrike. Only two Counters may be active at any given time, and the virus must be physically able to execute a counter in order to use one. Counters work at any range. An action is required to set this effect, but no actions are required to execute the Counter when triggered, as it is automatic. Impact attacks nullify this Counter ability.
Tertiary Attack Damage/Effect: 5 Null + Impact + Break + LifeSword Range x 2 Attacks
Tertiary Attack Accuracy: B
Tertiary Attack Description: Sweeps the field with a salvo of flying fists from the left, and then the right. Does not damage friendlies, and may be executed at any range. The virus cannot use Counters while executing this attack.
