Into the Woods

"Whoa!" Red yelped, wheeling out of the way of the flames that almost singed her. "That was close!"

"But Machman's a bit out of it. Darn, I thought for sure his attack would work. Oh well, get him some rays and then deal with the Dragrin's by yourself. Here's some water chips to get the job done," Shin advised, sending four chips into the PET.

"Alright! I'm fired up! But some of you need to cool down!" Red shouted, pumping her fist into the air. She redirected some rays of light coming from the network's sun to Machman, healing him a little bit before she set her plan in action.

"Hi-yah!" the childish battler cried, boosting herself in an acrobatic maneuver into the air. Twirling majestically over what she believed to be the swamp of poison, the red-caped wonder landed gracefully on what she believed to be the other side of the poison from where she was positioned a moment ago.

"It'll be a little slippery, so watch out!" the crimson crusader called, a frosty wind encompassing the battlefield from where she stood as she activated the IceZone. The chilly atmosphere froze the ground solid, spreading its enroaching frost even across the poison, providing a bridge of ice from the area she and her companions were previously trapped in, to the outer area where the Dragrins resided.

Red quickly slid herself off the ice panels and toward the normal parts of the outer area before activating the next three chips that Shin had provided for her.

Slamming both hands on the ground, the blue-colored Chinese character for water formed under her palms and called out two dragons made completely out of the aforementioned substance. Roaring terrifyingly, the beasts dove for the remaining viruses, jaws wide open so they could crush the opposition with their large fangs of destruction, attempting to effectively delete the Dragrin's for good.

"Oh, I think you missed one," Shin commented, pointing to one of the Dragrins Red hadn't targeted with her last attack, which wasn't really true, she had made sure that the dragons went toward all the viruses left.

"Hmm... you sure?" Red wondered, clenching her fist. "Okay, then I'll wait for it to come to me then," the fairy-tale fighter giggled, expanding her fist to a comically huge size. It seemed that the hand was made out of extra-hot steam, and the wind mistress added her own little specialty with a gust of wind surrounding the object.

Myun just kind of... bounced around.

Machman is singed and rather surprised by the Dragrins apparent immunity to fire.
Didn't see that one coming.
Aera noticed his arm and quickly took his arm in her hand and transferred a recovery program into his body.
Are you okay?
I'm alright. Thanks, Aera.

[Uploading chips now. Take out those viruses!]

Machman's right hand transforms into his MachBuster, as a battlechip program was loaded into it. He picked out the closest Dragrin and aimed his buster directly towards it. He aimed and fired a blue, water-filled projectile from the buster with a loud pop. The round streaked downrange and burst on impact to create a small explosion of water. As his right arm returned to its default settings, his wings moved from his back and paired up to face in opposite directions towards the other Dragrins. They quickly charged up their plasma payloads to the point of them almost getting swallowed up in the pulsating orbs of crimson. The thrusters painted each target with a targeting laser before they released the plasma in a pair of ruby red beams of light. The beams tore across the icy floor towards their targets. The beams kept their intensity for only a few seconds before they died down and eventually disappeared.

As the wings moved back to their original positions and cooled down, Machman glided over the ground to shift positions and avoid any retaliatory fire. He made sure he was close to Aera as he pulled up a Guard shield to protect them from incoming fire.

Soon after MachMan, with the help of Red and Aera, treated his burn wound from the Dragins, the two navis began to bombard viruses with their water chips and utterly destroyed them. Even though the poisons didn't prove to be much threat to the two powerful navis, it slowly seeped back into the ground, giving safe passage.

Machman dropped his shield and stood at ease. He looked down at his arm, it was completely repaired by the combination of Red and Aera's recovery programs. He clenched his fist and frowned, he was disappointed that he failed in his task to take down the Dragrins. However, he was the only one who was was damaged by the viruses, so he didn't dwell to much on it.
It's alright, Mach. Don't worry about it.

Machman looked up to see a smiling Aera with her hands out towards him. She held a packet of Zenny data she recovered from viruses. Machman reached over to recieve the data from Aera, and the data was transported to the PET with a mere touch. Aera grabbed hold of Mach's hand as he did and smiled. Aera's ability to raise someone's spirits showed as Mach's eyes reflected a feeling of happiness (since no one could see the smile under his mask).

[Zenny recieved. Do you want to keep going?]
Sure, if Red and Myun would like to continue as well.

((Battle #3))
"Let's see here... Whoa! A SideBamboo! That's probably even better than the Cornshots we were looking for!" Shin gasped, taking out the chip and zenny data he received.

"Oh boy! Are we gonna use it, Shin?" Red inquired cheerfully.

"Yeah! Hmmm... I guess I'll take out the Zapring then. Alright! I'm fired up guys! Let's roll!" Shin proclaimed, pumping his fist in the air.

"Woohoo! Let's keep going Mr. Machman and Ms. Aera!" the crimson crusader stated as she skipped ahead into the woods.

Myun, after finishing chugging down some Bugfrags, followed after.

((BATTORU 3))
((Ready as well))
As Red and MachMan, along with their Support Programs, progressed deeper into the Woods, they encountered the usual dose of virus. This time was a group of Genins riding on top of a fierce Spikeys, ready to attack at any given moment. It didn't look like they were too much of a threat, but Mushys appeared, surrounding the navis once more!

To make it worse, again, something was strange about the grass panels just underneath them...

-BATTLE THREE, START!-
Mach and Aera could see the mounted Genin approaching, and prepared to assume attack positions.
We've encountered several viruses, teamed up in pairs. Permission to engage?
[Uploading battlechips now. Hang on- you got company!]
Aera pressed her back against Machman's as they were quickly surrounded by the Mushy Viruses.
If there was any time to try it, it would be now.
[I agree. Let's dust off this chip and put it to work! Spice2 uploaded!]

As several yellow spongy-looking orbs materialized in a tight ring on the grass around him, Machman turned back to Aera and his wings moved further away from his body. The wings moved several feet outwards and created a sizable space between Mach's back and his wing thrusters. Aera watched as the wings floated past her and started to orbit around them.
Stay close.
Back to back, Machman reached his arms back and took Aera's hands into his and gripped tightly. Aera could see into some of the thrusters on his wings, and saw rapidly glowing cyan lights growing out from them. The orange vents on the sides of his chest adopted a similar glow and the bottoms of his feet were lined in a thin outline of cyan light. The thrusters on his wings and embedded on his body started to emit a high pitched whine before they all went off at nearly full strength. Machman and Aera were covered in a veil of brilliant cyan light from the thrusters and a torrent of air quickly kicked up. As soon as the boosters fired, the thrust crushed the spongy orbs and released millions of tiny spores. The thrusters then created enough wind to carry the airborne spores over the area. Though the spores could reach Red and Myun, the spores were designed to destabilize viral data, not Navis or SPs.

Machman's array of thrusters throttled down till they barely glowed from the amount of heat created and his wings floated back to their original positions near his back.
Wow. And to think you got that chip for making curry!
Hahahaha! Its about time I got to use my reward for that! Time to go airborne.

Machman released her left hand as he turned towards her. Now face to face, they both crouched down and leaped as high as they could into the air. As soon as they left the ground, Machman started to change. Rapidly growing flat control surfaces started to sprout from his body and his wings embedded themselves into his back. Machman started to flip backwards as Aera rolled forward with him, still connected by that one hand. Machman's rapidly changing body grew several times larger and continued to form and fold into place as he and Aera attempted to make a full flip in the air. Aera sank into Machman's angular metallic body, and quickly found the completely formed ejection seat awaiting her. She pulled herself into the surprisingly comfortable seat as they continued to rotate in the air. As soon as Machman's nose went level with the ground below, the last parts of his body snapped into place and his quad plasma engines lit with a loud roar. Four large plumes of cyan flame burst from the engine exhausts and the newly formed MachFighter blasted off.

Aera could see the incoming mounted Genin from the 360 degree projection display inside the cockpit. She noticed one of the indicators on her control panel change as it displayed the weapon blisters on Mach's sides were opened. A pair of triple-barreled vulcans spooled up while nearly hidden by the armored blisters as Machman began to target the Spikey viruses the Genin were riding
[[i]I bring the lead storm![/i]]

The vulcans roared to life and fired two glowing lines of 30mm armor-piercing rounds downrange. Machman swept his nose from left to right as he sent a wave of lead streaming towards the advancing viruses. As the blisters closed after the vulcans ran out of ammunition, Machman immediately rolled right then quickly pitched his nose up and shot up into the sky. Aera looked back towards the viruses below as the ground rapidly fell away. As soon as he got high enough to stay out of harm's way, Machman pulled his nose even higher and started a wide, graceful loop. Just about the time he was completely inverted, several small explosions popped around the "neck" of his fuselage, just behind the cockpit. Small sensor-laden armor fragments jettisoned from his frame and darted in all directions, only to pause in place once they permeated the entire battlespace. As the Overwatch system went online, a trio of missiles formed underneath his frame. One was perched under his fuselage while one sat underneath each wing. Machman completed his roll and angled downward towards the Genin and their Spikey steeds. Machman projected an infrared laser on the ground in the middle of the viruses, and all three of the missiles' laser-sensitive nose sensors trained a mechanical eye on the beam's exact position.

[[i]Hawk one![/i]]
Machman released the missile under his left wing. The missile's solid fuel engine ignited and shot the missile forward and left a thin white smoke trail as it streaked towards the target. The missile impacted in less than a second and showered the immediate area in a spray of water. Machman then brought up his Overwatch network and took a good look at the viruses below. With the help of Aera and his combined processing speed, he calculated the best place to send his next missile, even after calculating where they would be once a missile would be able to get there.

[[i]Hawk two![/i]]
The missile under his right wing dropped away and streaked off towards it's target. It also released a spray of water on impact, but it also sprayed a thick film over the immediate area. The liquid was so thick it would keep the viruses in place, at least temporarily. Without giving the viruses any time to retreat, Machman armed his final missile.
[[i]Hawk three![/i]]
The missile under his fuselage dropped and streaked away in a similar fashion of the other two. However, this missile was a tad bulkier than the others, and it left a trail of electricity as it streaked towards the ground. Just before it hit the ground, the missile exploded in the air and ejected three separate warheads. The spiked payload hit the ground and exploded in a wild flash of electricity. The electrical discharge quickly disappeared, and Aera lined up one of the Spikeys in her sights. Instead of using the sensor relay to fire her electrical bolt, she transferred the electrical charge directly to the roof of the cockpit. The current surged down the front of the cockpit and down to the nose. With nowhere else to go, the white bolt of electricity shot from Mach's nosecone and down towards the virus below.

"It's a desperado show!" Red exclaimed, noticing the mounted Genins.

"Desperados that shoot kunai? That's a new one," Shin mused as Mach sailed overhead.

"Business is tough you know? They have to come up with all sorts of ideas for new acts!" the red-caped wonder explained.

"Huh, is that so? But the ideas of ninjas riding on horses rather than zooming across a forest is a bit hard to grasp as a new trend," the ace grumbled, squinting his eyes as he tried to imagine it.

"Then, what to do?" the crimson crusader wondered, silently counting the number of mushies on the grass terrain.

"Make it so it'll never catch on. Wideshot, FireTower, Areagrab, Elecreel, slot-in! Take out as many as you can, Red! We shouldn't slow Machman down, if you know what I mean," Shin ordered, winking at the last statement.

"It's a race, right?" Red giggled, swiping one finger through the air. A crescent-shaped blade of water rushed out of the trail Red traced through the air, heading at high speeds toward the Genins and Spikeys so they wouldn't notice her next actions. She was pretty sure Mach was doing his best to deal with them at the moment, so the viruses were sure to have their hands full. Just in case, though, she added a fine little punch of air into that Wideshot if it happened that something had escaped.

Rolling to the side, the wind navi initiated her targeting sequences, locking on to the Mushys in preparation for her next chip.

"This'll be a doozy~!" the fairy-tale fighter commented cheerfully, stomping on the ground with a sweet smile on her face as crackling towers of lava erupted from underneath the ground and marched in a designated path around the grasslands, trying to plough through any Mushys they come across. It would certainly be a quick end for the viruses if they came in contact with it.

Disappearing from her location in a split second, Red materialized behind the Genins and Spikeys, charging up some electrical energy in her hands. The current jumping through her ligaments crackled menacingly at the viruses, predicting a storm of doom.

"Take this!" the red-cloaked battler grunted, discharging a million volts of electricity from her fingertips at the viruses. The lightning stream seared through the air as it made its way toward the targeted group, attempting to fry the ninja cowboys to death. The roar of a dragon accompanied the flashes of light, soon, there would be an outcome. The crimson crusader cartwheeled to the side, in case there was an impending attack on her.

Myun dashed forward, quick boxing steps leading her to one pair of Genin and Spikey. Striking a powerful right straight forward, she made sure to aim her attack at the mount, before attacking the rider with her ears, before sending a swift kick at the mount once more. In the aftermath, the boxing bunny bounced away from the action.

((Really...this is just too much))

Immediately, few of the surrounding Mushys were covered by the spores of their own species and slowly corroded their bodies. They attempted to spread their own, but navi's spore were much too strong and it simply subsided down into the ground. While that was happening, Red started her own assault with the wideshot, which easily sliced through the fiery Spikey and temporarily knocked them away from their Genin riders. To top it off, the fighter plane that is MachMan took the liberty of laying the finishing blow.

When Red started to move in order to positioned her self to strike the remaining Mushies, something suddenly rose from the ground and clamped onto the navi's leg. It was a type of a bear trap and Red just happens to trigger it. The pain was bearable, since the grassy plains underneath the navi slightly treated the wound. The brave navi ignored the trap and fired the Firetower, eliminating the remaining Mushy viruses and teleported out of the trap.

MachMan flew in circles around the viruses and tried to find the perfect time to fire. Seeing that the targeted Spikeys were dead, he switched over to the last Spikey and proceeded with his attacks. The A-G Missile fired and nearly destroyed the virus in a watery death, but Myun took the chance and stole MachMan's kill. The next missile was heading towards the Genins, which spread them with the thick mixture and trapped them inside a bubble. However, their eyes glistened and prepared their Kunais. The first knife simply popped the bubbles and 6 kunais were flying straight towards the navi! MachMan took the simple procedure and accelerated. The incredible speed MachMan was traveling in nearly broke the super sonic, dodging most of the speedy knives except one, which miraculously hit the tip of the navi's wing.

Turning the attention back to Red, who just teleported behind the Genins, prepared its ElecReel. The electric attack surged from Red's finger and up into the sky and came crashing down onto the Genins. One was instantly vaporized but the other survived and brandished its sword against the navi! It gave a quick whirl with the sword, but Red barely dodged the attack by cartwheeling away from the area. As soon as Red was out of harms way, MachMan fired his last missile along with Aera's white lightning, finishing off the last virus in a flashy spark.

"Agh!" Red winced as she massaged the leg that got caught in the trap during the last battle.

"You ok there? Need a subchip?" Shin asked in concern.

"Eh, I'll hold up. Tis just a scratch!" the red-caped wonder commented, putting on a brave face.

"Well, if you say so. Ready to keep clearing out the wedding pathway?" Shin proposed.

"Y-yeah!" the crimson crusader yelled, pumping her fist into the air half-heartedly, her leg still a bit shaky from the pain.

"C-come on guys. We've got more work to do!" the fairy-tale fighter beckoned to Machman and Aera as Myun hopped along. The extremely obvious limp really told them all that Red was NOT fine at all.

"She's become a bit more stubborn," the ace sighed, watching his navi go on.

((Battle 4))
Machman leveled out as he dove to the ground below. His thrusters swung downwards and additional vents opened up on the underside of his frame to prevent him from smacking against the ground. The retro-rockets burned brightly and caused him to merely float down to the ground below, and hovered 5 feet above the grass.

[Excellent work, you two. How's the damage, Mach?]

Machman strafed to the side to gather up zenny and battlechip data as Aera drew a large amount of bugfrags into her body through the cockpit.

[[i]Minor. It might have scratched the paint at worst. I think Red sustained more damage than I did.[/i]]

[I'm on it.]

Mazer uploaded a Recover10 chip in the PET, but manually switched the target to Red. The program activated and released a glowing aura of repair processes and restorative energy.

((Nah))

Mach treated Red's leg wound shortly after the battle ended and continued further into the wood. They came across a field full of poisonous panels, but laid in a checkered patterns as far as the eye could see. Red and Myun carefully jumped from grass panel to another while MachMan and Aera simply breezed right through. Finally, they could finally see the end of this chess like field, but, of course, they were interfered by the viruses!. Hordes of the pesky viruses ran towards the navis and some even popped out from the grass panels underneath! Their pattern was almost set like a chess piece, but that won't matter!

-BATTLE FOUR, START!-
Mach continued to hover and glide forwards, his engines and assorted thrusters keeping him a good 5 feet or so off the ground. Suddenly, warning indicators started to activate as his radar screen started to light up with the "blips" of multiple viruses appearing. Aera scanned the area ahead from inside the cockpit, noticing the large amount of viruses appearing in front of them. She also looked back to see another set of viruses blocking off their escape route.
We're surrounded!
[[i]Requesting chips.[/i]]

Machman remained calm, even though he was completely surrounded by a large number of tough viruses. However, he was confident the destructive power of Red's attacks combined with his own mobility and combat flexibility would make short work of the threat. Machman halted his slow advance and prepared for battle; he jettisoned several small sensors off his fuselage, which darted off in several directions. As his Overwatch sensor network moved into position, a large object formed underneath his frame and dropped to the grass below. The object looked like a large bomb, with multiple holes along it's sides.

[[i]Kaboom.[/i]]
The bomb detonated, but instead of creating a large fireball, the explosion was directed outwards through the rim of holes. A massive ring of golden data particles rippled out over the area. The data fragments reacted with the grass below and became very volatile, capable of literally eating away at viral programs. Machman remained perched over the object as it disappeared, and he called out to Red.
[[i]Watch your head![/i]]

Since they were completely surrounded by buzzing skeeters, Mach had to get a little creative. His engines started to tilt in one direction in their frames, their thrust was further vectored with control surfaces over the thruster vents. This rapid change in thrust started to rotate on his axis in a flat spin. His acceleration was smooth, but quite rapid, Aera had to brace herself to keep from getting pressed against the side of the cockpit. As soon as his nose moved 180degrees, his V-shaped wings were jettisoned from his fuselage with a set of small explosions. The large wings were sent spinning out towards the surrounding Skeeters. The wings acted like a pair of massive boomerangs and orbited around Machman and hopefully tore the relatively weak skeeters to shreds as they tore through the air.

Machman's flat spin continued at a constant speed as his wings whooshed around him like a pair of massive blades. The wings started to move back towards him as he hit 360 degrees, and swung into position as he approached the 540 degree mark. The wings were then caught by Machman's electromagnets, and seamlessly slid into their original places and were locked down internally.

Aera sat in her ejection seat, slightly dizzy, but also quite impressed by Machman's attack.
Wow... didn't know you could do that.
[[i]Well, I wasn't entirely sure I could do that as well, but I trust Mazer's programming, especially with this .GMO. Hang on, we're going up and away.[/i]]
Aera took that as her cue to brace herself as Machman's engines swung back into position and burned brightly as they propelled him in a steep climb away from the viruses. Machman left several white streaks in the sky as he rose several hundred feet into the air. As he did so, a pair of large, heavy missiles materialized under his wings. The blackened missiles' warheads glowed red with energy, and their long frames held more than enough fuel to probably dig themselves all the way to ShaoJingNet. As Machman reached the apex of his climb, he pitched backwards and flipped over till his nose pointed down towards the viruses below. Aera watched as a pair of cross hairs appeared over the pair of PuffBall viruses below. The cross chairs changed from green to red as they locked on. As soon as they did, Machman launched the missiles. Their stabilizers oriented them towards the viruses, and their solid-fuel rockets sent them streaking towards their targets.

Machman remained in the air, concentrating on the missiles rapidly approaching his targets. Meanwhile, Aera's arms started to glow bright green, and the glow moved from her arms to the underside of Mach's frame. The pocket of recovery data beamed down to the ground below and dropped on Red, to replenish her energy. As the recovery program activated, Aera's voice came from the glow.
[[i]Alright Red, I hope we've leveled the playing field enough. Show them what you've got! We'll provide air support![/i]]

"Whoa," Shin blinked, the devastation Machman was about to cause was ENORMOUS. They were really just left with the scraps of the situation, but first...

"Alright! Let's get everyone in tip-top shape! Candle2! Slot in!" the ace suggested cheerfully as he sent down the object.

"Alright! It's the present from Mr. Montag! Here we go!" Red giggled excitedly, flipping out her cape with a flourish. The sun seemed to smile upon this childish navi, shining brightly while luring broken data parts back to their original places.

Whipping out a glass vial of wax from her picnic basket, Red threw the container onto the closest glass panel, making it burst aflame and form into a giant candle that lit itself with a green flame on the top. A soothing sensation wafted over the battlefield toward Red and her allies, granting some healing bonuses.

"Set up complete! Let's burn burn burn!" Shin yelped throwing three chips into the PET.

"Roger that! It's time for a Barbeque! Today's special! Deep-Fried Vegetables!" the red-caped wonder shouted, waving her arm forward and summoning a series of lava towers to burst out of the ground and make their way toward the Boomer group. Sure they could deal with frontal assaults, but attacks from below pretty much bypassed that case anyway. The roar of fire churned maliciously as tower after tower of fire rose up from the depths of the ground and marched menacingly over to the Boomers.

Pinpointing another grassy area next to the KillPlants, Red focused and warped over to the designated area in line with the viruses before sending a stream of flames erupting out of the ground toward her opponents. The searing blaze cackled maniacally as they closed in on the KillPlant group, hoping to incinerate them all in a single go.

Re-evaluating the situation, Red wondered if there was anything else she could do before it came to her that there was new chip that they recently got in a trade.

"Hey Shin! Send me that... what's it called? Double Cube?" the crimson crusader requested, reaching her hand up to the sky.

"Hm, that does look like a good thing to use in this situation. Alright, let's try it out! DBLCube... I mean DBLBeam! Slot-in!" Shin yelled, sending in the traded chip to the PET.

"Round and round she goes! Where she stops, nobody knows!" Red sang as a DBLCube, flashing violently between red and blue color schemes, popped out over and above her head. What could it be? Only time would tell.

In the meanwhile, Red decided to hop through the next couple of grass panels to try and dodge any incoming attacks. Myun decided this would be the best option as well and proceeded to copy her master's movements.

The spice made a deep impact on the virus group, but few managed to survive the attack. Red immediately followed the attack with the firetower, but it was a complete flop as none of the surviving Boomer wasn't even singed by the fire. One quickly retaliated with a throw of the boomerang, which managed to hit everyone except Machman who was already high up in the sky after eliminating all the skeeters in two quick sweeps.

Quickly, Red positioned her self besides the KillPlants and burned all of them to crisp. However, it was a bit too late as all three planted the seeds into the grounds. The Puffballs in the far back started to open its mask and began to spread its poison powders that affected everyone. At that time, MachMan prepared his Magnum as it the shots destroyed one virus while the other, who was hiding behind a mask, was completely overwhelmed by the power of the chip and incinerated. The sole surviving Needler rushed into the navi's line and fired its needles everywhere. It missed Myun and Red, but the Candle was broken into scraps of waxes; however, that didn't matter too much since Red's DBLCUBE fired a healing blue light that recovered most of the damages and the candle already finished its job before it was gone.
