Oberon sprinted past Soundman, nearly bumping him out of the way, wanting to use the RockCube for himself. He was eager to use the large objects littered around the battlefield, but really that was where his plan ended. He knew Titania was scolding him for this. The RockCube blocked his view completely until he was completely up and over it, so he would be effectively blind until he was rocketing fullspeed through the air. But there was more intel to be gained than lost from this maneuver.
Even in the time between starting his move action and reaching the base of the cube, Oberon had another idea. Instead of immediately leaping onto the cube, he shot it with both guns, using a stored BattleChip that slammed into the RockCube with concussive force and made it resonate with the force of the explosion. The improbable physics of the Net bent to the ghostly Navi's will as he then sprinted after the cube's path and deftly scampered up and on top of it before immediately leaping off the other side with a short cry of exertion.
He didn't leap, but soared- launching himself over the battlefield as if in flight. He twisted in the air until he was facing backwards, briefly functioning as an aerial scout, peering over the tops of obstacles and enemies for the unseen enemies that the scanners had detected. The moment was brief, and soon Oberon was tumbling to the ground, but not before firing a single, Chip-energized bullet at the sand behind one of the enemies mounted on top of a cube. This bullet made a deep thrumming sound as it broke against the surface of the net, a noise which got louder instead of softer, until its source appeared: A monster summoned by the bullet, a worm-shaped thing that reared menacingly in the air before crashing down upon one of the Skarab enemies.
Oberon tumbled to the ground, rolled once, and then leapt again, this time straight at a stationary enemy. He aimed at a high angle, so as to plant a foot against its rigid surface and propel himself skyward, where Titania would grasp her sword from the air as it materialized in her waiting hands, holding it aloft like a valkyrie sending out her call to the worthy, before bringing it down through the air, drawing a vertical path from sky to ground.

Kssh... came the crackle of static as Soundman's systems queued up a track. The musical navi took a half-step back as Oberon charged right by him, ideas running over in his head on what to do. There were a lot more enemies than usual... and the presence of all this sand didn't help matters either.
But then again, terrain had never stopped him before... "Trenn, could you send the Bu-" Soundman started, thinking of the deadliest combination-- fire and sand-- and the results it could bring for him. Glass was a powerful weapon, indeed, and with the way his music could move things... he could make it his weapon.
"Icewave, Thunder, Shotgun, Sword." Trenn interrupted, muttering over the private line while shuffling chips about in the PET's menus.
"What?" Soundman replied, looking through the PET's camera feed.
"Icewave. Thunder. Shotgun. Sword." Trenn said, a bit louder this time. "We've been relying on that Burner too much, I think, and you should know the golden rule of performing, Soundman. Never play a song twice in a row."
"That's not the golden rule of performing, Trenn." Soundman retorted, chuckling.
"Then what is?" Trenn pressed, a grin creeping across his features.
Soundman's grin matched his operator's for just a split second...
Before surpassing it as the navi took off running. "Always put on a good show!" He shouted, kicking sand up in his wake as he dashed. Melody considered going after him, but sighed and decided to stay behind.
The track Soundman had queued up before, the one that had been playing at a mute, flared to life over his speakers at an ear-shattering volume, the waves of sound smashing out with such force that the sand around Soundman rippled like waves in the sea as he ran, and the dust that shot up in his wake was immediately smashed back down, oppressed by the music.
Soundman's steps, as well, seemed to be influenced by the tech-y, synthesized dance tune-- his pace changed abruptly with the tune, shifting back and forth as it did, then charging forward resolutely as the song kicked into high gear. Soundman leaped upward as he neared one of the many Rockcubes dotting the field, his gaze drawn towards the left, towards the Mettfire lurking there. He raised his left arm instinctively as he crested the upper reaches of the Rockcube's height-- and Trenn did not disappoint. The Icewave's data flooded into Soundman's arm all at once, a thick layer of rime shooting up its' entirety and freezing the speaker in his palm.
The song reached a buildup. The track slowed before, but now it was raising back to a greater height than before, cracking the rime on Soundman's arm... and then shattering it. A wave of frost shot out from Soundman's palm speaker as the ice broke, immediately followed by the song's intensity, that gripping bass that matched the beat of Soundman's heart, the breathing of his lungs... and the steps he was taking forward.
The icy blast froze the air as it careened along at a low angle, then clipped into the sand itself. For just a moment it seemed as though that was all there would be; as though the attack had missed, stopped there. But the sand continued to shuffle about, being shifted by something moving towards the Mettfire. It continued to rise up as it neared the Mettfire before it finally broke the surface and the sand fell back, revealing the Icewave's namesake-- that clear, crystallized arc that tried to close in upon the Mettfire...!
Soundman pulled his left arm forward as the projectile left his systems, the heat from both the Nefrican air and his body quickly melting the remnants of ice upon his arm. Trenn tapped the icon for the second chip as Soundman took a single step upon the Rockcube and then kicked off with both feet, launching himself higher and higher into the air.
As Soundman's jump reached its' peak, he struck forward with both arms, the wires dangling from them shifting back and forth from the sudden jolt, making a tiny amount of noise, a little 'clack clack' that seemed to repeat endlessly. But it wasn't the wires that continued to crackle. It was not the wires that boosted the volume of Soundman's speakers to such a level that every strike of the bass was as thunder. It was, however, the chip flowing through the wires that made their connections crackle with electricity, that made the loudest crash possible...
To hail the coming lightning.
The white light struck instantly, leaping from both of Soundman's palms and then colliding in the air, the powerful bolts merging together as one and then zig-zagging off towards the Skarab. The entire area seemed dark by comparison to the brilliance of the electricity, the way it seemed to cut the air itself, the way it threatened to electrify anything it touched. The bolt cut an arc toward the Skarab-- and then missed it entirely before turning again. And again. And again. The bolt cut through the air in a wide, jagged circle around the Skarab at such a pace that it seemed to encase the entire thing in a whirlwind of light, spinning around and around and around... before finally striking from above.
Soundman touched down on the far side of the Rockcube while the light show continued, feet kicking up the tiniest bit of sand as he dropped into a crouch, right arm cocked back like a firing hammer. Soundman bored into the Mettfire ahead of him with his gaze... time seemed to freeze as the track slowed...
Ksh.
The movement would be hard to describe accurately; the first moment Soundman was there, staring down the Mettfire, the next he was right next to it, arm extended, a gout of sand kicked up in his wake. projectiles shot out from each of Soundman's fingertips at the same time, sending the arm flying backward-- those projectiles then split in midair as they hurtled toward the Mettfire. A shotgun chip.
Soundman skidded backward along with his arm, letting the movement take him, and spun with it into a stand. His arm had changed in the meanwhile; where there was once a (right) hand, there now sat a glimmering silver blade, attached at the wrist to Soundman's arm, and engraved with a musical design all along its' length.
The song finally started up again as Soundman stepped forward, blade trailing in the sand behind him, and then swung. The sword chip dragged a sizable amount of sand with it as it pulled out and up, swinging through the air in a sand-covered arc, but still gleaming. Soundman's upper body twisted along with his arm, attempting to give the blade more power as it cleaved. Soundman finally finished the deadly arc, just short of the blade cutting back into him, its' owner, with a spin that left his back facing the Mettfire he had struck out at. If what he had done worked, the Mettfire would be dead. If not...

Starting off, Oberon used the cubes around the sandy battlefields to his advantage, causing one to rocket off into a Swordy. Instant deletion. Soundman blasted a Mettfire with his blast of ice-imbued sound and that's also dead. Oberon leapt off a cube to scout around for more viruses, and he did find some more. Three, as a matter of fact, behind three cubes. A Skarab is also dead by virtue of Oberon's bullet summon, and Soundman crumbled another with his thunderous noise before it could launch off an attack. A totem dies as well from Oberon's jumpslash. The remaining Mettfires chose to GTFO and, like, scram, so Soundman's next moves were completely out of range as they dashed to cover. The Swordy decided to be heroic, and slice up Soundman with a stab. The burning blade, besides being very painful, turned the panels under him to glass. How weird. (20) The spotted Genin tried to rush and execute their spotter, and threw a few throwing knives at Oberon. A few hit. (10x3)

"Areagrab! Sword! Twinfang! Aquaneedle! Aquaneedle!"
Titania yelled a series of orders at her Operators, who hurried to obey. In retrospect, it was a mistake to tell them to send the most time-sensitive chip first. Areagrab was the sort of chip best used with a computer's reflexes, a powerful tool when it was utterly unexpected.
But the point was moot. Fortunately for all involved, Rachel was an expert at snatching chips and using them quickly, because for most of her Netbattling career she had been the one to make tactical decisions, not her Navi. As soon as the chip was primed, it was released, carrying Titania instantaneously to her mark, a small virus armed with throwing knives.
"Mine's bigger," she muttered in a tone audible only to Oberon and her operator as she brought her weapon down with a force that could practically crush the thing. The weapon then dissolved as Oberon mounted the block in front of him to launch his body again, but this time he would make sure there was nothing left to return fire. His guns crackled. Two explosions sounded at once, aimed ahead and at two different targets, then a barrage of thee aimed at the sky as if he expected the bullets to fall in an arc.
This wasn't far from the truth, as a twinkle of blue appeared in the piece of the Net where the bullets disappeared, and were replaced by falling shards of ice.
Oberon fired his last shot with nanoseconds to spare before he crashed. He rolled as he hit the ground, and from his position on the ground fired three more times, three more blue Aquaneedle-summoning pellets. He posed there for just a fraction of a second before climbing to his feet, ostensibly a sharpshooter's habit, but more likely a result of dramatic flair. Nobody could fault him for being too simple in his methods, at least.

Soundman drew a sharp breath through his teeth as the burning blade cut him. Fire wasn't something he was completely unused to, but it still hurt. He took a half-step back, nearly slipping from the unexpected terrain change, and held his sword at the ready.
"Trenn," Soundman said over the private line, lips visibly moving but no sound coming out of them, "Burner."
Back in the real world, Trenn smirked as he pulled up the chip display. Three of the chip icons stood out in his mind as he glanced them over-- the burner, the Areagrab, and the Lilbomb, respectively. Trenn tapped each in order as he voiced his reply.
"Here, Soundman. Burner, Areagrab, Lilbomb, and Widesword." Trenn said, pressing hard on the 'Send' key. "Give 'em hell."
"That's the plan." Soundman muttered, dropping into a low stance. His sword grew red-hot in his grip, the heat gradually turning the tip white with its' intensity. The rising temperature slowly began to spread down the blade as Soundman stared at the Swordy in front of him, a smirk drawn across his features.
"You know something?" Soundman asked, rhetorically, as he glared bullets at the Swordy. The searing blade began to rumble in his grip... "You're not the only one who can play the flaming sword game."
Soundman's arm snapped outward, sword and all, and swung through the space in front of him. The smoldering tip of the blazing sword flared to life as Soundman worked the slash into a spin. The air itself burned from the heat as the sword cut it like butter, steam shedding off of the blade simply from the humidity in the air.
Halfway through the spin, a sound like a firing hammer went off in Soundman's head, and the smoldering blade erupted in a whirling torrent of flame that shot outward in a grand column as Soundman turned, the effect creating a circular wave that spread outward from its' epicenter, searing everything in its' wake.
The fire also carried an entirely different payload with it, however, its' usual roar accompanied by a deep rumbling.
Soundman forcibly ended the spin after he had made one last full rotation, the last vestiges of the melting sword dripping off of the hilt. Soundman cast the useless remnant aside and disappeared, a light tinkling carrying on the breeze...
A shadow fell upon one of the Mettfires as Soundman rematerialized overhead and threw the Lilbomb downward. There was a horrendously loud explosion the moment the Lilbomb hit, and a gout of sand and smoke rose to meet Soundman as he descended.
The Widesword appeared in front of Soundman as he neared the cloud, and his hands gripped the blade's handle as he breached it. Heavy hands swung the sword down as Soundman dropped, the force of the strike cleaving the dust and the smoke in twain, and sending small shocks up through Soundman's arms.
As Soundman waited for the smoke obscuring the result of his strike to clear, Melody had her own plans; the floating, electrified guitar stood at attention and took aim at the Skarab sitting far off on the Rockcube. If Soundman's burner did not reach it, it would still be alive; this was something she sought to rectify.
The air swirled behind Melody, who tilted at an angle as a pair of ghostly hands took her in their grip. A transparent silhouette held and framed her as she glared outward towards the Skarab. The gauze strip surrounding her encircled the hazy silhouette, supporting her weight, and after she checked her aim once more, the ghostly hand came down, strumming her strings.
A wave of sound exploded outward from Melody, the power chord causing the entire battlefield to shudder as it careened across the field towards the Skarab, vibrating and spreading out as it traveled. Even if her aim had been off, even if she had missed by the barest of inches, sound is not something that stays contained; it spreads. This, above all else, was what Melody was counting on.

Titania sent orders to her operators for more chips while SoundMan prepared to retaliate against his attacker. Titania warped away and appeared in front of one of the Genin viruses, striking out with a Sword before it could try to dodge. While she did that, SoundMan let loose with a fierce Burner attack that completely one-upped his busting partner and incinerated his attacker with its own element. The torrent of flames also carried enough force to reach a nearby Rockcube with a certain Skarab on it.
Suffice to say, it wasn't there anymore when the inferno subsided. Neither was a lot of the Rockcubes. Oh, and the field was significantly glassier.
At the same time that Oberon launched a barrage of ranged attacks on various viruses, SoundMan warped above them and set a bomb their way. The bomb exploded and damaged the Mettfire behind the cube, but the Genin managed to dodge back just enough. Just enough to be impaled by one of Oberon's attacks. The AquaNeedles also fell then, coming out of nowhere and spearing the unharmed Mettfire with aquatic missiles and deleting it. The second of the TwinFangs buried itself in the Rockcube the last Genin hid behind. Oberon made up for it by launching more needles and sending off the second Mettfire to a watery grave. SoundMan saw that his intended targets were no longer there and ran at the surviving Genin.
He engaged it in a short sword fight that ended with the virus getting a sword through it and SoundMan sustaining a minor cut. Melody remained where she was after ascertaining that the battle was over.

Suffice to say, it wasn't there anymore when the inferno subsided. Neither was a lot of the Rockcubes. Oh, and the field was significantly glassier.

Soundman let out a low breath as the dust cleared, brushing a bit of sand off his clothes. "Well, that could have gone better." He glanced at the light scratches and cuts that were etched into him in several places, then willed them to close. Granted, the damage was still there, but graphically he would appear fine.
Soundman gathered some of the rewards up, then sent them off to the PET. "So-" He paused. "Oberon for now, I suppose, shall we get going?"

"You can address Titania too," said Oberon, with an unusually serious tone. "You talk as if we are changing forms. But we both exist simultaneously. Only the appearance changes. She sees the battle, speaks to our operator, and her thoughts are connected to my own."
He shrugged as his guns turned back into katars, and the mismatched collection of tropes that was his clothing changed back into a tattered martial artist uniform. "Since we're busting together... I thought you should know."
Titania was unable to taunt him for this, as he turned on a heel and marched deeper into the net.

Soundman trekked along beside him, light footfalls hindered slightly by the sand. "I figured it might be something like that, but it does get a bit confusing for me if I'm referring to you both all the time, yeah?" Soundman chuckled. "So it's less like I'm referring to just one of you, and more like I'm using the name of your current form for convenience."
Soundman paused, smirking. "Unless you'd like to be called Tiberion?"
((Ready for battle 5, Pally))

"If we're going for reduced confusion here, that probably doesn't work for your purposes." Oberon's voice had a hint of Titania to it, but he still said it with a smirk.

Soundman, Melody, and Oberon eventually catch sight of a large object could be barely seen in the bright, washed out, and heat hazed distance, perhaps a structure or mountain. It was quite a ways ahead yet, and more than a bit to the left of their path.
A bit later, and the group comes to a rocky section of the cyberspace desert dotted by large rocks half buried in the sand. They pass rock after rock while chatting idly, as not a single virus had popped up for the last 20 minutes to harass them. Twenty minutes of uninterrupted net navigation was almost unheard of these days, as viruses were generally everywhere. Yet, here, in Netfrica, they were nowhere to be found.
This was about to change...
Up ahead, the group suddenly caught sight of a Magtect virus sailing through the air. It entered their field of vision from the right, tumbling as it went. The virus eventually struck a rock, and evaporated into Deletion. In the wake of the virus, a sleek-looking red-trimmed silver object floated quickly, but silently into view. The object, seen in profile, was roughly tear-drop shaped; rounded at the back, and smoothly coming to a point at the front. There were pairs of grooves cut into it, with elongated ovoid blue crystals residing at the back of each groove, and pairs of spikes poking out at even intervals around the back of the program's body, angled backwards.
The program wasn't alone... a second program identical to it floated silently into view from behind a boulder. This one was quite a bit closer, and noticed the group almost instantly. It immediately turned to face the Navis, and began floating sideways. It made a beeping sound, and the more distant of the two turned to face them as well. Almost as one, the two programs' bodies split into 3 individual parts, and the parts assumed a triangular formation. The spaces between the pods glowed, and a trio of black puck-shaped objects appeared; one floating in each of the spaces between the pods.
The floating collections of objects advanced upon the group, suddenly emitting viral signatures...

"Whaaaat..." Soundman paused, stopping, "...are those?"
"I don't know, Soundman, but I don't like it." Trenn responded over the open line, screen popping up next to Soundman and... Tiberion. "We haven't seen a single virus for almost half an hour, and I suspect from that little bit of business we saw that these two are the cause."
"Right. So we should probably be careful." Soundman said, sizing the two viruses up. "I'm not even getting a name reading off of these, Trenn. Are you having any luck?"
Melody chose this point to interrupt. "Before that, you two should probably have a look over to the right over there." She said, one end of her gauze strip making a distinct pointing motion.
A mystery data. A green one, to be precise, sat squarely at where Melody was pointing.
"That will complicate matters..." Trenn started, switching the line back to private. His screen winked out of existence next to Soundman as he spoke to Rachael and Guy, sitting across the table.
Soundman watched the two viruses as Trenn talked shop with Guy and Rachael, but couldn't help but dislike how fragile the Mystery Data was over there. One hit from anything and it was dead-- something he hoped to fix.
He adjusted one of the volume sliders on the equalizer strapped to his left arm, keeping his eyes locked on the viruses, and set it to be nearly silent. The musical accompaniment of Soundman's Restez sig was far from its' normal high tempo, high volume pitch this time, the notes coming out as whispers and drifting off on the breeze, and the sheet music fading to invisibility the moment it left his speakers.
The signature was not aimed at him, however, but the Mystery data off in the far distance; the layers of musical rhythm wrapped themselves around it in a tight, invisible bubble of protection, adding significantly to the thing's ability to take a hit. Soundman gave a quick, satisfied nod, and that was that.
"...Yeah, I can say I've never seen anything like these before... And those black dots, like hockey pucks--" Trenn said over the line, half towards Soundman, half towards his companions across the table. "They might try to pull something like those Airhockey viruses do, with the pucks that bounce around. We should probably let them make the first move for now, then lay into them once we know how they're going to attack us."
Soundman dropped into a stance before replying. "Roger that, Trenn." Soundman said, trying to keep track of the virus closest to him-- and getting closer. Melody took the opportunity to drift next to him; Soundman responded by gripping onto her, ready to jump away from any attacks the viruses might throw at them... and hoping Oberon would be able to do the same.

Trouble!
Oberon had gotten complacent; he jumped and instinctually materialized both katars as he was shocked into battle-focus by Titania's mental warning, followed soon by an audio message from his operators.
Not that you need me to tell you, but those things are a non-trivial threat. Even prefaced with the more-or-less admission that she had been pointlessly bossy until the last battle or so, Rachel's voice was gratingly imperious. Test the water a little before diving for the throat, Oberon, she continued.
Oberon grimaced, a tiny gesture that was unlikely to be seen by anyone except Titania. At the very least, Rachel was learning about the personalities of the Navis she was operating. Some part of Oberon wanted to defy Rachel on principle; how satisfying it would be to mount one of those boulders and leap into danger, forcing her to scramble for a weapon to give him before he started hacking away with bare, unpowered blades! Unfortunately, he recognized the utility of her suggestion.
Obligingly, Oberon dematerialized his weapons and started to pace slowly across the grass. He knew that breaking into a sprint on this terrain wouldn't end well for him; the loose surface would result in significantly worse acceleration. The best course of action would be to parry one attack, then dodge vertically. Jumping directly up would minimize the disadvantage of the sand.
His uncharacteristically meticulous analysis complete, he looked down at his hands to ensure that he, and not his female counterpart, was still active.

As Soundman raised the defensive barrier around the Mystery Data, the virus closest to him slowed its advance to a crawl. Once the barrier was raised, and Soundman was no longer emitting sound waves from his speakers, the virus resumed moving at its previous speed. When it reached a range of 3 panels from the Navi, it slowed once again.... and bared its fangs. The trio of suspended hokey pucks split down the middle, and separated as a ring of curved gleaming silver blades extended from within the 'pucks'. One, two, three-- the virus launched the pucks-turned-saws straight at the Navi. Unlike the viruses, these projectiles were anything but silent as they sliced their way through the air with an oddly hollow-sounding garbled noise.
Soundman managed to duck the first one, sidestepped the second, and (sorta) jumped the third. The bladed projectiles flew past, then flew back to the virus again. Each projectile returned to the place it had originated from, and resumed hovering in suspension. The blades did not retract...
The second virus, meanwhile, maintained its distance from the group, but rapidly moved in an arc around to Oberon's right. As the virus moved, it too unsheathed the blades of its weapons. The bladed pucks began spinning in place, and the virus began to rotate upon its axis. As it did so, the virus began launching the discs every time one would become parallel to the ground. The projectiles flew towards the ground, then began skimming across the desert just above surface of the sand on their way towards Oberon. The Navi saw them coming, and easily dodged the three of them.
Soundman was forced to sidestep one of the ground skimming weapons Oberon had just avoided as it flew past. A second one flashed past Melody, struck a rock, and rebounded towards the first virus. The third projectile struck the same rock on the other side, and sailed off into the distance.
A quick glance back at the second virus revealed it had generated a whole new set of pucks...

((Pally: You forgot to put a barrier on the GMD))
Soundman paled as the "pucks" bared their fangs at him, then was forced to rapidly move out of their way as they went sailing towards him. He leaned back just as the first went sailing through the space where his neck was mere seconds ago, and felt the pressurized trail it carried brush his face as it careened past.
As the second puck neared, Soundman continued the movement, lifting his left leg towards the right and twirling a small distance that way, again narrowly avoiding the cutting saw-like blades of the "pucks", though you could hardly call them that now. Soundman barely managed to land on his feet as the third puck came his way, and was forced to flip forward in order to get his torso out of the way in time. Luckily the move seemed to work; the navi sailed straight over the puck, avoiding it by the merest of spaces, and landed on his backside in the sand.
As the navi made to get up, he noticed a fourth puck sailing along the sand towards him; rather than try to deflect it, he opted instead to simply roll out of its' way.
Melody, Meanwhile, simply raised her height such that the puck passed easily underneath her as it sailed off into a rock, struck it with the loud, resounding 'CLANG' of metal on stone, then zipped back off towards the first virus.
As Soundman began to pull himself to his feet, Melody was starting to get rather annoyed at all of this; three attacks at once just wasn't fair! Rather than complain about their predicament, however, Melody instead opted to try to improve it a bit. A ghostly hand brushed across her faceplate, then strummed her strings hard, launching a destructive chord at the virus that had attacked Soundman. The wave of sound kicked up the sand underneath as it blasted the air in its' way aside, sailing straight toward the virus.
Soundman, meanwhile, decided to respond in kind; he rose, finally, to his feet at last, then pointed his hand at the virus. He could feel the vibrations, hear the cacophonous dissonance rising within him as Melody's attack neared the virus. The sliders on his arm-mounted equalizers adjusted themselves as Soundman tensed, arm beginning to shake ever-so-slightly from the strain...
Finally, Soundman fired, launching a shrill, high-pitched wail from his left palm-speaker; it was like the feedback from hell, it was, and he was launching it full-blast into the virus nearest him. The air before him rippled as the sound waves from his attack combined with Melody's, their target the same: Namely, the virus that had struck him.

Oberon twisted his body, narrowly evading a bladed projectile, then pushed forcefully off from the sand to let the other two pass under his feet. He jumped again, this time with both direction and force. Some clever observer noted the behavior of the attacks and recommending a way to avoid them. He leapt, flicking his heavy, handguarded blades into the air where they merged together and evaporated, the fumes merging into Titania's bow, which she caught deftly and drew in an instant, making a striking figure posed atop a rock, her bow aimed at one of the strange viruses' hearts.
Are you sure you want to lay it all down so early? Wondered Oberon.
They could just as easily become more vulnerable over time instead of less, reasoned Titania.
With that, she loosed the first arrow, aimed to fly through the interconnecting bands of energy binding the virus together so as to cause maximum carnage when the arrow did its thing. It buried itself to the hilt in the sand, then melted into energy that summoned a Sandworm, roaring forth from underground, thrashing about so that its plated sides and knifelike teeth could deal as much carnage as possible.
Titania's second arrow was not an arrow so much as a shotgun spray of ghostly white slivers. She loosed it, and the shaft, initially solid, left behind a series of echoes in the air that took on a life of their own in flight, twisting away from the path and pounding into the Net's uneven surface with machinegun speed.

Soundman and Melody fired off their combined sonic attack in the wake of the errant bladed puck flying towards one of the viruses. The puck struck the virus first, bounced harmlessly off, and proceeded to ricochet off of a couple of rocks before finally sailing off into the unknown. The sonic blasts, on the other hand, did no such thing. They hit the virus dead on, and caused the various parts of the virus to resonate at a variety of different frequencies, as if someone had struck a collection of six tuning forks with different tones at the same time. The virus sustained quite a bit of damage, but didn't seem fazed by the loss of almost half of its HP. It also didn't seem to be bothered by the sound.
The virus suddenly slid sideways through the air, and began to circle around Soundman and Melody without ever turning away from them. This unexpected movement took the virus away from the point of impact of Titania's summoning arrow, and out of range of the summoned SandWorm's attack. This probably wasn't intentional, as the virus apparently wasn't paying the least bit of attention to Titania. Her follow-up volley of arrows connected very easily, as the virus didn't vary its speed or movement arc in the slightest. Titania repeatedly tagged the virus with arrow after arrow as it moved very predictably, like a machine-driven moving target at a practice archery range.
Then trouble came. Just as the virus Titania had focused on ignored her, she had in turn ignored the other virus. It reminded her of its presence by striking her with one of the bladed pucks. (-10) This got Titania's attention in time for her to see the next projectile and react to it. She raised her bow, and fired a heavy-tipped arrow at it. The arrow connected, but shattered, not broke or snapped, shattered like glass as it came into contact with the puck, which sailed in to strike her dead-on. (-10) Oberon took over as the third projectile came slashing in. He attempted to deflect it with his katar, but the madly whirring murder disc hit quite a bit harder than its small size would suggest. It knocked the defending move aside, and struck Oberon on the left just as one of the earlier projectiles struck him from behind on the right on its way back to the virus. (-20) The double impact spun the warrior around, and deposited him unceremoniously on the sand, literally back where he started. A fortunate thing, as the later two projectiles passed through the space where he had been standing on their way back to the virus that had launched them.
These viruses were no joke.

"Damn it!"
Titania's blank eyes seemed to grow distant instead of more determined as she ran through the calculations. She wasn't hurt bad; in fact she had gained much information from this encounter. The viruses had no extraordinary ability to defend themselves against attack. Their attacks had the guard-breaking attribute, but didn't seem to have enough power to delete her too quickly. With constant motion, she could probably survive long enough to finish this fight. Combined with the firepower her partner had-- her other partner; the one not dormant within her own form-- this battle was already won. Another flicker of emptiness passed through the sapphire jewel on her circlet as she ran another set of calculations. Yes, this fight could be over very soon.
"Send me the new chip," commanded Titania over her voicelink to the physical world.
Got it. Skully slot-in.
While Rachel's slow human fingers worked with the slow physical apparatus in the world of flesh, Titania's digital body flowed smoothly from the boulder she was standing on and onto the next, and the next, and the next, her feet hardly seeming to touch down before she was away and moving on.
She was in mid-air when the Skully chip downloaded into her waiting arrow. With one more acrobatic leap that kept her airborne for slightly longer this time, the better to draw and aim while still suspended in the air, she sighted, nocked, drew, and fired. The shaft whistled through the air, shimmering with data that formed a blurry field of swirling attack data around it to deal maximum damage to the segmented enemy.
When she landed, it was with two guns clenched into Oberon's hands. They roared with battle-rage, firing only weak pellets imbued with nothing by way of attack data, meant only to distract and serve as suppression fire for Soundman. Oberon skipped from rock to rock spraying his equivalent of blanks.
"Soundman, use my suppression fire and attack, ordered Titania's voice through Oberon's mouth.

((As much as my survival instincts are bitching at me not to, I'm saving all my actions for after this splice. So...))
"Christ, those things are deadly." came Trenn's voice over the line. "Looks like I was right about them bouncing though."
Soundman tried to track the virus circling around him-- at first with his eyes, then when that failed he tried turning his head to get a better view. Both ideas proved a bit too dizzying to sustain, however, so he resorted to tracking it by sound.
"Alright Soundman, now we're-" Trenn's voice stopped mid-sentence, and at the same time found a... rather bewildering... set of chips downloaded from the PET. "-pretty much hosed." Trenn finished, sounding slightly angry. Soundman looked over the chips that had been sent.
"Wiz just flew across the controls, Soundman. You're going to have to try to keep yourself alive until I can refresh your chip cache and send you some chips in an order resembling strategy." Trenn explained over the line, hands working at the PET controls. "And why are you looking so smug-"
Soundman, meanwhile, saw potential. "Trenn, did you take a look at the chips he sent?" he asked, an idea forming in his head.
"N......not really." Trenn responded. "Why, what did he... send..." his voice trailed off as the grin on Soundman's face grew into a wide, toothy thing. "This... could work!" Trenn finally concluded.
"Depending on how I use these it could, yes." Soundman said, eyeing the virus as it passed through his field of vision again. "At either rate, a performer is expected to be showy sometimes... right, Trenn?"
"Alright then, Soundman." Trenn said, "I'll leave it up to you, you decide when to attack."
Soundman muttered something under his breath, chuckling nervously.
"If I don't die first, anyway..."
Melody worriedly floated in the air behind him, meanwhile, staying silent.

Titania's opening move proved to be a smart one, as a shotgun blast of razor pucks pased through the spot she'd just occupied a moment before. They tore into the boulder they later bounced off of, leaving a series of deep gashes and slices in the stone that no normal blade would have made. The blades proceeded to ricochet around the field, bringing havoc and chaos with them as they ate away at the HP of every boulder and object on the field.
The Virus circling Soundman opened fire. It ripped into the Navi with a barrage of bladed pucks, doing very little damage per strike, but it was adding up quickly. (-30) The blades reached maximum distance, and began to return to the Virus, the first of which hit Soundman on the way back before a thrown skeleton bone hit the virus... (-10) The pucks all vanished into corrupted data bits as the Virus began shaking violently in place. It lost the ability to maintain levitation, and fell to the ground as its frame was consumed by a series of explosions. One final explosion blew what was left of the virus to smithereens, and cast fragmented data remains all over the battlefield. A glass-rimmed crater remained where the virus had fallen.
The other virus, meanwhile, was being harassed by Oberon. It spun in place trying to follow the Navi's movements even while the Navi in question pegged it again and again with stun-inducing rocks. The blue crystals embedded into the sides of the Virus' body glowed brightly for a moment as the virus emitted what sounded like a synthesized growl to the Navis. It appeared to be unaffected at the moment, however.
Another puck flew out of the mess of boulders and struck Soundman before it reflected off and dissipated into nothingness. (-10) The pucks apparently didn't last forever.
