ViralMan began his assault with a devastating buster barrage that ripped through three of the weakened viruses. The stunned Genin and Zemon didn't know what hit them, their systems still shutdown by the earlier electrical surge. The second Genin attempted to dodge away from the bullet barrage, but ViralMan's cords still held him fast. As the bullets impacted with the ninja, it responded by hurling a fan of knives toward ViralMan and Dolce. Two kunai hit ViralMan and two hit Dolce while the fifth landed in the dirt between them.
ViralMan followed up quickly with a HeatShot, launching a flaming sphere toward one of the Genin viruses. The fireball engulfed the virus and the flames spread along the grass to incinerate the held ninja as well. The flames turned the grass around the two viruses to ash.
Dolce managed to lever herself to a sitting position, her legs still held fast by chains. She grabbed her sword, blade flaring with blue light, and swung it in a wide arc. The blue light sailed from the blade in a wave, cutting down one of the Zemons and injuring the remaining Genins. The Genins countered with hurled daggers, blades flashing through the air. Three struck Dolce before she could materialize a shield to block the rest. One of the kunai hit the ground near Dolce and she was able to use the dagger to snap the line of chains holding her to the ground. She pushed herself to her feet just as ViralMan attacked.
ViralMan fired his MarkCannon, the shot exploding against the cloaked Navi. The shot struck, but it barely seemed to effect the Navi as it dashed forward. Chains dropped from beneath the cloak, dangling behind the Navi as it ran. The cloaked figure attacked, sending the chains out to wrap around ViralMan. The Navi tugged on the chains, pulling ViralMan off his feet and hurdling him through the air to smash into the ground near the weakened Zemon viruses. Viruses that were just beginning to stir.
One of the Zemons slashed down at ViralMan, but the Navi managed to dodge out of the way with a roll. The second sword strike missed entirely. However, the second Zemon was far more skilled and its blade drew two devastating lines across ViralMan's back, almost deleting the Navi.
"No!" Dolce shouted. "This is getting bad..."
Dolce raised her hand, a holy light descending from the sky to envelope ViralMan and restore some of his health. ViralMan's own healing abilities took effect as well, the surrounding data repairing his wounds.
The cloaked Navi turned to face Dolce and backhanded the knight Navi to the floor. It then shot a link of chain that smashed against ViralMan's chest.

"Damnit!" ViralMan cursed, gripping his chest with one arm. "That guy never lets up." The Navi sighed and pondered his situation. Zeo spoke quietly. "Well, if I were him I wouldn't either." All the boy received back was a helmet-hidden glare that he knew was directed at him. "But no, he's certainly no slouch. I'm not sure exactly what we should do. Staying back doesn't do much, and I highly doubt getting any closer will help your odds." He rifled through his available chips. "The only thing I can suggest now is that you take out the rest of the viruses. We don't need any interference if we're going to beat this guy."
Nodding, ViralMan straightened up and looked at what he was dealing with this time. "Four viruses left...I think I can handle that," he said. "What can you give me, Zeo?" A muffled clacking sound came from Zeo's end as he placed a hand in a pocket and drew out a pair of chips. "Play it safe this time, hit some of 'em with the Shotgun and then I'll send the next chip." He punctuated the last word with an electronic beep as he slid the Shotgun chip into the PET.
The Navi took a few steps forward as swarms of data whirled around his right arm, morphing it into a standard gray buster. In a brief moment of remembrance (that he actually had an ally this time) ViralMan made sure that the grounded Dolce was alright before he attacked. She seemed to be worse off than he was, and at this point that was really saying something. I need to go help her after this, he resolved. The dwindling group of viruses would likely try something soon, so ViralMan hurried up and aimed his Shotgun-armed buster at the two Genin viruses near the cloaked figure. He dropped to one knee, made sure he had a proper shot and fired a yellow energy blast at the duo. Zeo could have sworn he heard the Navi mutter "Please hit," in an undertone as he unleashed his attack. Whether or not it had worked was irrelevant at this point. ViralMan quickly rose to his feet again and moved back a bit, trying to make sure he would have time to dodge oncoming attacks.
"So that makes three more," Zeo said. "And I hopefully have a good chip for you." Before Zeo could hold up the chip, ViralMan guessed. "ElecReel?" Seconds later his question was answered as Zeo held up a battlechip labeled with a pale starfish on a blue ocean background. "BubbleStar? Will we even be able to land a hit with that?" he asked doubtfully. Zeo frowned and brushed some hair from his eyes. "I have no idea. But if it works, then you'll be seeing an ElecReel. Now then, BubbleStar1, slot in," the boy said surprisingly quietly. He would have shouted it if not for that he was still talking to people while monitoring the battle.
However as Zeo began to slide in the chip, ViralMan stopped him with a, "Wait!" Once the Navi knew his command had been obeyed, he explained himself. "BubbleStar appears right when you put it in. Wait until I get near Dolce and the other targets, then use it." In response the operator nodded. "Alright."
Conscious of the cloaked Navi's chains and clear battle prowess, ViralMan ran at him at full speed. As he did, he warned Zeo constantly. "Not yet...not yet...now!" he finally shouted, diving to the side of the enemy Navi from a few feet away. The starfish appeared in all of its dull looking glory and began to spout large bubbles with a popping sound. The bubbles were slow, but hopefully they'd be able to trap some of them if not all three of his targets. Even then, he wondered if the unknown Navi could even be trapped. He shook his head to dispell the negative thoughts and positioned himself near Dolce, a stern expression on his hidden face. "How are you?" he asked her urgently. Honestly he wasn't sure he'd have enough time to get an answer back, but Zeo tried to buy them some by sending a large yellow Guard to protect ViralMan and by extension, Dolce. More data flowed into his wounds and healed him, but by now it probably wouldn't make much difference.
ViralMan braced himself, knowing that the Guard wouldn't last long.

ViralMan decided to take out a few more of the viruses supporting the cloaked Navi. He formed a shotgun from his buster and unloaded the cloud of digital pellets at the nearest ninja. The Genin was caught full on and shredded by the blast; however, its companion had enough time to dodge out of the way. The remaining ninja launched a handful of daggers toward ViralMan, but the Navi sidestepped the kunai on his way toward Dolce.
The cloaked Navi allowed a chain to fall from its wrist and whipped it down at Dolce, but the knight managed to roll away as the chain gouged a chunk of earth from the floor. The cloaked figure attacked again, so intent on finishing off Dolce that the Navi didn't notice ViralMan approach from behind.
ViralMan launched his bubble barrage, managing to trap the cloaked figure and one of the black clad Zemons. The remaining Zemon charged at ViralMan, sword raised high, but the Navi managed to raise his shield before the virus could strike. The sword hit the shield and shattered, the blowback of shrapnel cutting into the virus and deleting it.
Dolce took the opportunity to catch her breath before turning her attention on the trapped Zemon. Her sword flared to life, a jet black aura rising up from the blade. She struck at the virus through the bubble, impaling it on her sword and draining it of its remaining energy. The bubble popped and left the virus vanishing before it fell.
"Thank you," Dolce said. "Your bubbles may have just saved my life."
Dolce raised her sword, prepared to strike at the trapped Navi as ViralMan restored some of his lost strength.
"Shall we finish this then?"

"Yes, let's," ViralMan agreed, his outlook becoming a bit more positive. He'd actually managed to recover some HP and not lose it a few seconds later. Quite the miracle. Even the bubbles had worked better than he could have imagined, and now he had a nasty surprise in mind for the enemy Navi. Of course by now it wasn't much of a surprise, but it certainly would be painful. "Now...how to go about this?" he mused to himself quietly. The Navi was trapped, so a head-on attack would be simplest and best. With this knowledge, ViralMan clenched a fist and looked up. "Zeo! You know what to do!"
And indeed Zeo did. Although he seemed to be a bit occupied, the boy spared a few seconds to glance at his PET and give ViralMan a thumbs up and a wink. Reaching into his pocket for one of the only really damaging chips they had left at their disposal, Zeo withdrew the ElecReel. From ViralMan's view out of the PET, he watched his operator's head snap back up before he put the chip in. Zeo's hand then proceeded to blindly prod the PET with the battlechip while he carried on a conversation. ViralMan sighed and waited until the chip managed to hit the target and transfer to him.
Streams of data shot out of nowhere, enveloping ViralMan's right arm until it was no loonger visible in the torrent. Once the transformation was finished, the streams retreated revealing an orange clawlike device. Placing his left hand on the heavy weapon, the Navi grinned under his mask. "Alright. Time to do some damage," he said confidently. ViralMan began his attack by jogging forward, slowly picking up speed as he approached the cloaked Navi. All the while he kept the ElecReel pointing straight at the enemy. Stopping just short of the Navi, he spread his legs out a bit to balance himself and activated the chip. It proceeded to unleash a torrential blast of electricity at the bubble-encased target which was likely to hit and deal heavy damage. There was some tension in the air, since if the attack somehow missed ViralMan was out a valuable source of damage. On the other hand, maybe the bubble would conduct the electricity and make it reach all the way over to the last remaining virus.
From the real world, the Navi heard Zeo mutter out of the corner of his mouth. "Hey, when he gets out of that bubble he isn't going to be happy. Move." ViralMan hurried to take that advice and keep an eye on both the probably freed Navi and the Genin virus simultaneously. Adding another task to the list, he struggled to decide on what to do next. More damage would be good, so what did they have left that was good for damage? Sword? If he tried that he'd get smacked down before he got close. "Wait, we still have a Heatshot left..." ViralMan remembered. "Okay, Zeo! Time for a Heatshot!" If they were lucky more of the grass would burn and make the attack more severe.
"Okay, here you go," Zeo said as the PET beeped. "Be careful." ViralMan acknowledged the warning with a curt nod and held his hand out to receive the Heatshot. Like with the ElecReel his right arm was enveloped in data. Soon after he was brandishing a shiny gray coloured weapon. Here's where we hope he's standing on grass, ViralMan thought. He couldn't tell from where he was. Trying to remain cautious as he did, the Navi ran forward once again. He briefly wondered whether he would get bashed with chains again. "The things we do for excitement and rewards..." he said scathingly to himself as he ran. ViralMan finally angled back towards where he'd started before whirling around and blasting a fireball at the cloaked Navi. He continued his spin so that he was facing the way he had been running and kept going that way. When he had achieved a somewhat safe distance, he took some time to think about his next move. "Wait, the recovery program I used at the beginning of the battle might be ready again!" ViralMan said to himself. "Zeo, you there?"
Directing the PET at his face, Zeo responded. "I'm here. What do you need?" ViralMan quickly told Zeo to check his StimShield. He soon found a familiar purple and white shield in his left hand. In addition, he felt much better than before. "Glad I remembered that. Now then..." ViralMan said. He directed his atttention back to the current threats, his shield half raised to protect himself as his injuries were healed further by the data swirling around his body.
1. ElecReel1 to ???, GeninEXD (80, double damage to ??? in bubble)
2. Heatshot to ??? (40, double if on grass)

ViralMan unleashed a blast of electricity at the cloaked Navi, the current concentrating within the bubble until it ruptured and sent the Navi hurdling backward. ViralMan followed up with a fireball that caught cloaked Navi, flaming devouring the grass all around the Navi and deleting the last of the Genin viruses as well.
The cloaked Navi countered with a link of chain that ViralMan managed to block with a hastily formed shield. Dolce charged the cloaked Navi with her sword held high and slashed down to score a mean hit. A second slice cut across the Navi's waist and sent the cloaked Navi stumbling back. The enemy Navi countered with a blow of its own, striking Dolce in the chest and sending her flying to land in a heap on the floor.
A length of chain dropped from beneath the Navi's cloak and it used the chain like a whip, slicing ViralMan across the chest.
"Almost," Dolce panted. "Just a little more."
Chain erupted from the ground around Dolce, pinning her to the floor once more. It looks like it'll be all up to ViralMan to finish off the cloaked figure.

Quickly shaking off the pain of the cloaked Navi's chains, ViralMan groaned. "And I'm hit again. Really starting to get tired of this guy." He felt his chest with a hand, examining the damage. He was still much better off than before. ViralMan took a step forward, ready to end the battle with Dolce's help. Then she got chained to the ground again. "Dolce!" the Navi shouted. "Dammit, I'm out of defensive chips," he cursed in am undertone. "I guess that this is the endgame."
"Well then, I'm game," Zeo quipped unsuccessfully.
ViralMan sighed. "Sorry," whispered Zeo. "I'm using up all my conversational prowess out here. Now how do you want to end this?" Bringing up a list of their remaining artillery on his visor, ViralMan looked it over. "Not much choice. Sword, FireHits, Cannon..." He cautiously moved closer to Dolce in an effort to keep the enemy Navi back for now. "Looks like all we can do this time is beat him up. I suppose I should start with the Cannon and we'll go from there." Zeo produced the chip immediately, having grabbed it when his Navi had mentioned it before. "Aye aye. When do you want it?" ViralMan paused. "Give me a minute." He walked over and stood a few feet in front of Dolce. "Alright, current plan is to charge him head on. Dolce has a better chance of not getting hit that way. I hope." He added the last bit on a second later. "Now give me the Cannon."
Nodding, Zeo slid the chip he'd been holding into the PET. "You don't sound too sure about that, but I'll let you run with it. I'll have the rest of your arsenal ready as you go," he affirmed. "Now go end this." He gave his Navi a confident smile before turning away to locate the chips he needed.
Holding his arm up to the sky, ViralMan took a deep breath. His raised arm disappeared and was replaced moments later by a light green Cannon. He let the arm fall, pointing the weapon at the cloaked figure. "Now, let's see if you can handle this," ViralMan said, trying to sound surer than he felt. Rather than support the weight of the Cannon with his other arm like usual, ViralMan instead shifted one foot back, took one last look at his surroundings and began to sprint. The Cannon added a bit more weight, but it wasn't significant enough to really hinder him. He covered the distance between himself and his foe in a few seconds, and when he was close enough he planted one foot in front of him, stopped and whipped his Cannon arm forward. From the closer range, he fired an almost spherical orange blast at the cloaked Navi.
"FireHit would be appreciated now!" ViralMan hastily called out afterward. He soon found his other fist flaring up and burning with noticeable heat. The Cannon shot would have knocked the Navi back, but not enough to stage anything grander than this. So, attempting to take advantage of the knockback, ViralMan clenched his burning fist tightly and drew it back. Hit number two, I hope, thought the Navi. He'd been saying that often lately. With his fist still drawn back, ViralMan cleared the last bit of distance between himself and the enemy Navi. With every bit of strength he could muster he brought his fist forward at the target's face. ViralMan wasn't the least bit interested in unmasking the Navi, but he was quite fed up with the battle and wanted to let off some stress with the attack. After punching, he drew back his fist away from the enemy and found his arm now transforming into a Sword. "Appropriate, I suppose..." he said quietly. Zeo smiled and waved, though he didn't know whether his Navi had bothered to look his way.
Ready to end the battle, ViralMan made a quick practice swing of his weapon. "This should be more than enough to finish this," he said. "My turn to use a sword." He wasn't sure whether the cloaked Navi was still reeling from either of the blows, or if they had even hit. But a Sword straight through the stomach would be enough to hopefully leave him defenseless anyway. ViralMan's left leg shifted back as he positioned his blade just behind himself. "Alright. One hit is all I need," the Navi encouraged himself. "Let's go!" he yelled at the cloaked Navi, dashing at it. He tried to be a bit more mobile, strafing to the sides before finally dodging to the right and rolling. He held the Sword away from himself as he rolled, not eager to decapitate himself in the final moments of the fight. Finally he came out of the roll, steadied himself on his knees and stabbed the blade of the Sword at the cloaked Navi's chest. Immediately after making the move, ViralMan got to his feet and hurried backwards, away from the Navi.
He looked at Dolce to ensure she was still alright before turning around and looking at the cloaked Navi. ViralMan's Sword hung at his side as more ambient data particles healed his newest chain wound.
"Is it over?"

So, attempting to take advantage of the knockback, ViralMan clenched his burning fist tightly and drew it back. Hit number two, I hope, thought the Navi. He'd been saying that often lately. With his fist still drawn back, ViralMan cleared the last bit of distance between himself and the enemy Navi. With every bit of strength he could muster he brought his fist forward at the target's face. ViralMan wasn't the least bit interested in unmasking the Navi, but he was quite fed up with the battle and wanted to let off some stress with the attack. After punching, he drew back his fist away from the enemy and found his arm now transforming into a Sword. "Appropriate, I suppose..." he said quietly. Zeo smiled and waved, though he didn't know whether his Navi had bothered to look his way.
Ready to end the battle, ViralMan made a quick practice swing of his weapon. "This should be more than enough to finish this," he said. "My turn to use a sword." He wasn't sure whether the cloaked Navi was still reeling from either of the blows, or if they had even hit. But a Sword straight through the stomach would be enough to hopefully leave him defenseless anyway. ViralMan's left leg shifted back as he positioned his blade just behind himself. "Alright. One hit is all I need," the Navi encouraged himself. "Let's go!" he yelled at the cloaked Navi, dashing at it. He tried to be a bit more mobile, strafing to the sides before finally dodging to the right and rolling. He held the Sword away from himself as he rolled, not eager to decapitate himself in the final moments of the fight. Finally he came out of the roll, steadied himself on his knees and stabbed the blade of the Sword at the cloaked Navi's chest. Immediately after making the move, ViralMan got to his feet and hurried backwards, away from the Navi.
He looked at Dolce to ensure she was still alright before turning around and looking at the cloaked Navi. ViralMan's Sword hung at his side as more ambient data particles healed his newest chain wound.

Having once again trapped the armored swordswoman, the cloaked figure stood facing ViralMan. The mysterious Navi watched his opponent in silence, eyes glaring from within the depths of its dark hood. The Navi knew that both ViralMan and Dolce were injured, both running on fumes. With a bit more effort, both Navi would be dead and the cloaked figure would have what it came for.
The cloaked figure charged, a blade emerging from the folds of the voluminous cloak. ViralMan met the charge head on, dashing forward with his green cannon trailing behind him. The distance between the two Navis vanished almost instantly. The cloaked figure slashed down with its sword at the same moment ViralMan whipped his arm around to fire his cannon. The cannon roared and an orange sphere of light ripped out of the barrel just as the blade flashed down. The blade bisected the sphere and an explosion sent the two Navis hurdling across the battlefield.
ViralMan and the cloaked Navi crashed to the ground twenty feet from each other, the explosion having flung both back ten feet. The cloaked figure rose first and charged into the fray once more. ViralMan barely had time to ignite his fist before his opponent was upon him. The mysterious Navi swung a chain wrapped fist, but ViralMan ducked under the blow and delivered a fiery uppercut to the Navi's jaw. The flames spread quickly, engulfing the Navi like a second cloak.
While ViralMan readied his sword, the flaming Navi reeled back and drew a weapon of its own. The flames didn't seem to be bothering the Navi and no sound escaped the mouth hidden by cloak and flames. The mysterious figure head a massive hammer formed from chains. If ViralMan was struck by that, it would be a deathblow.
The Navi advanced, swing the hammer high to slam it down on ViralMan's chest. ViralMan leaped to the side in a roll. The hammer swooshed through the air and smashed against the ground. ViralMan rose and sheathed his blade deep into the folds of the Navi's flaming cloak.
The Navi slumped to the ground, falling to its knees before falling on its face. The battle was done.
The chains around Dolce turned to rust within seconds of the cloaked Navi's demise and she pushed herself to her feet. Panting, she sheathed her sword and made her way toward ViralMan. The flames burnt away the last of the cloak covering the Navi lying on the ground. With the cloak gone, ViralMan and Dolce stared down at a NormalNavi with a length of chains wrapped around his chest, arms and legs. A length of chain covered the Navi's eyes and mouth as well.
"Blast," Dolce muttered. "It is a substitute. This man was just being controlled by the chains. Our real enemy is still out there somewhere."

ViralMan stared at the remains of the substitute Navi with slight annoyance. "Tricked. I can't help but feel a bit insulted." His helmet disappeared in a stream of data as he placed a hand on his head. "But then...was the substitute weaker than the real Navi? If so, I suppose we should be grateful." He shook his head. "It doesn't matter now." Glancing around at the remains of the battlefield, ViralMan grimaced. Most of the grass had been burnt up by his abuse of the terrain. Then again, it was probably necessary. He didn't see any more viruses or chain wielding Navis running up to attack again at the moment, which was a good thing. I wonder if that's all we'll see of that cloaked Navi for now... thought ViralMan.
He supposed he would probably get more answers from Dolce herself. He had no intention of prying into her affairs, but he did have a few situation relevant questions which he intended to ask. "First and foremost: are you alright?" ViralMan asked the armored Navi. "I know that's an odd question after that battle, but..." he trailed off. "Also, when you say that our enemy is still out there...do you mean we're likely to be attacked again?" While he waited for her to answer he busied himself with going over his systems and ensuring all of his chips and abilities were up and running again, all the while trying to stay wary of another attack.

"I am fine, ViralMan." Dolce answered. "It will take more than a few viruses and a chained slave to deter me."
The young knight glanced around the battlefield, taking in the seared trees and the ash that had once been a field of grass. Her eyes cut across the area that the viruses and cloaked figure had come from, muttering to herself, but she merely shook her head with a sigh.
"No," she said finally. "I should have known that he would be unable to close in on me so quickly. This group must have been tracking me since I first arrived in Yumland. I doubt not that we will be able to leave unmolested as long as we don't dawdle. I shall jackout from here and continue my quest. Please report our success and I shall have my NetOp forward your reward."
The Navi paused for a second before continuing.
"I thank you for your aid, ViralMan. Without you, I would surely have been forced to retreat and may have lost what little evidence I have acquired. If you have need of me, just ask and I shall lend you what aid I am able."
With that, wings of light materialized behind Dolce. The golden feathers enveloped the Navi and she vanished in a flash of light.
((ViralMan received 7 FXP and Dolce's contact info))
((If you ever want to go on another mission with Dolce, just ask.))

As Dolce jacked out, ViralMan nodded in farewell. "Well, that's the end of that. Come to think of it, we never did work out a reward." Zeo, facing a break in the conversation, was able to concentrate more on his Navi. "Yeah, but that was a nice break from tandem busting. And we got to help someone out." ViralMan glanced around one last time. "You're right," he conceded. "Anyways, you want to get me out of here before I get attacked again?"
Laughing again, Zeo nodded. "Sure, sure. I also need to make a final mission report, though."
ViralMan didn't see a need to reply anymore, and simply waited as his body transformed into a thin beam of light and shot out of the network.
