Jungle adventures of a mecha

[From: Netsquare]

Rhea rolled onto the Netfrican space, looking ready and eager to pick a fight.

Following suit was her appropriate stalker, Harley. He, too, looked ready to find trouble.

[[Requesting Battle 1, go!]]
Entering the Netfrica network with her trusty steed, Rhea explored the initial area that she had been transported to. It seemed that she was in the middle of a deserted savannah area, in the middle of a few dunes. Of course, in a network, the entrance to it was always a prime area for ambush, and there was the welcoming wagon. Two Elmperors stood on out-of-place lava panels, flanking a taller Skullavia virus sitting cross-legged in front of her.

Rhea observed her dry and sandy surroundings, and she was immediately greeted by virii. "Not many others come here, I assume?" Rhea noted, eyeing how the virii were actually waiting for foreigners to arrive. The purple Navi whirred her arm generators into action, readying her energy blade just in case anything uninvitingly flew at her way. Harley shuffled his feet in the sand again, snorting in disapproval. "Why are you subjecting me to a sandy grave again?" the SP sighed, having, quite literally, a sinking feeling.

"Regardless, I don't think I can--"

Rhea unceremoniously got up to Harley's back before her SP could comment further, adding the combined weight to accelerate the sinking metal chunk(s). Very quickly, Harley set off to move, as being on the move lowers the chance of getting buried and choked by the sand.

If anything, though, moving towards the opponent now is the best option.

Camillia, seeing how a battle has started, saw that the was quite a distance between the Elmperors, Skarabs and Rhea. She fumbled at her chips, looking for a good combination that can lead the duo to victory. "Umm, sending in a few that would synergise well... I think?" Camillia told Rhea, her tone unsure. "Haha! Be more confident, lady! You've got to put up a motherly figure in order to leash on the little mecha girl!" Harley roared with laughter even as he galloped, and was met with a bonk to his head by a small, metallic fist of purple.

Rhea, upon receiving the set of chip data, realised that they were in a feasible order to be used in-- Camillia was really learning to be better at this. Using her magnetic boots to keep her on the pedals acting like a stirrup, she raised her left, unarmed generator, letting loose a speeding white arrow towards one of the Elmperors.

Harley swerved sideways as he galloped, perhaps as a form of dodge... Or from the sudden shift of centre of gravity (of the weight on his back).

Still standing in her seat, Rhea leaned forward slightly, giving Harley's visor a pat and inserting a digital version of the Curseshield chip onto the bike dashboard-interface behind Harley's head. The mechanical warhorse's front is now escorted by a transparent tower shield, looking ready to rush any opponents down with the spikes that adorn it's front.

Defensive measures secured, Rhea raised her free arm once more, letting her arm generator roar from its' operations; shooting two spikes aiming for the other two virii targets.

Then they were finally in melee range.

Rhea brandished finally her swordarm's energy blade, at first shortsword in length. It was now the size of a broadsword as she swung it at the enemies. As soon as Rhea swung, Harley attempted evasive maneuvers to hop out of harm's way.

Aware that they were rapidly sinking into the sands, Rhea got onto her mechanical horse, and rode it out to the viruses. An Arrow was launched first at the viruses, spiking the first of the Elmperor quite easily. Equipping a sturdy shield to her ride, Rhea then chained her offensive streak with a couple of spikes, hitting the Elmperor, but missing the Skarab entirely. The Skarab threw a bone at Harley, but it was blocked by the CurseShield. The Dominerd flew out at the Skarab, only to be evaded. A slice-up with her Moonblade later, and the Elmperor was deleted. The Skarab was damaged, and crumbled into a small heap of bones. It didn't look like she would be able to damage it this way...

Rhea and Harley watched how the virus collapse into a tiny bone hill, both keeping silent as they observed. They were busy watching the bones intently in a hardcore staring/glaring match, then realized that they, too, got stuck in a ditch.

Harley was now half waist(body?)-deep in the sand, with Rhea in tow.


"Ah."
"Ah."

Entire turn summary:
- Stare
- Get stuck in sand
Purple dudes sank into sand, crumpled bones weren't crumpled no more.

Camillia was once again bursting out laughing from the comedy duo. "U-uh, h-hey guys, look on the bright side! The Skarab can be seen now! I'm sending some chips over, okay?" she added, with giggles added into the mix.

Rhea's operator just sent her all ranged chips.

"Okay..." Rhea said dumbly, loading them into her programming and letting it loose on the only remaining virus. Harley, however, was busy trying to get out. "Nope, not getting out!" the SP announced. Rhea was quite happy that the projectile chip she received looked like something she would be good in; some eastern thrown weapon of some sort.

Rhea flung three Kunais at the Skarab, followed up by a roaring shot from a Cannon chip.

The knockback sent Rhea flying out of the sand, but not Harley. "Hey! Help me too!" the horse snorted.

"Enemy defeated," Rhea pronounced solemnly, patting away at her body from imaginary dust. "And now to..." she turned. "... I think jacking out will help with that," Rhea noted to Harley, much to his dismay. "Some master you are," Harley muttered, and they jacked out of the network together, like magic.

[[JACKOUT]]
