Fight Fire With Fire!

Arriving on the ever-deserted Hades Net, Voulge along with his two SPs started to walk deeper into the net. The two crystal flames hurried to follow the navi, trying not to get lost, "He-hey, what's the big rush?". Voulge was only silent, but slowed down as the response to Ignis' question. "...Something has been bothering me since that last battle...But I rather not talk about it." Ignis started to become curious about this problem Voulge had, but couldn't have such luxury when a virus could come out at any given moments.

[Voulge: 200 HP
Ignis: 70 HP
Licht: 40 HP]

======
BATTLE ONE, READY
======
At the outskirts of Hades Net where the terrain was still mostly friendly, three viruses stood guard before Voulge could progress. They looked like fiery seahorses, standing tall as as if to challenge his entry into the network. This would be a piece of cake.

Probably.

DragrinA: 120 HP
DragrinB: 120 HP

[Battle 1 - Begin!]
((Urgh...My RP is starting to suck more and more))

Voulge took out his spear and lowered the blade towards the ground, Ignis' body started to glimmer as it started to create dangerous fires all over his body, and Licht...Just stood there. "Hey! Get your ass in gear, or are you just blind?!" Ignis tried to warn his fellow SP, but none of his words looked like it was getting through to it. "Take evasive maneuvers, Ignis and I will take care of them." The two crystal nodded as it tried to find shelter from the viruses, which made Ignis a bit on the edge. "Ho-...Wha-...ARGH!"

In anger, the SP converted all the flames around him into a single fireball. Looking straight at the first target available, Ignis fired the fireball with a loud, but a short bang. "Voulge! Now!" Marius ordered Voulge into action while he loaded couple of chips into the PET. The spearman held the Lancea out towards his right and extended his other hand to the other side, promptly transforming the spear into a golden trident and materializing a thick metal net on his open hand. "Understood."

In a blink of an eye, Voulge disappeared from his current position, leaving only a flaming foot print on the ground, and reappeared just behind the Dragrin that was being attacked by Ignis!! Both the navi and the operator was already accustomed to Ignis' rash actions and already prepared for something. While the single virus was to focus on the fireball, Voulge would use this time to get behind the enemy and strike them before they could even react. However, he wasn't aiming for the middle virus, but rather the two on the sides. Taking the trident and the metal net, he threw both of them towards the other Dragrins on the side and prepared for the attack.

Ignis, realizing the trouble he may be in due to the irrational attack, also took shelter with Licht and watched the battle from the sideline. The stones and debris on the desolate Hades Net ground slowly gathered into a single earthly shield, protecting the navi from any sort of harm that may come to him. Voulge didn't have his weapon at hand as the trident, hopefully, was holding one of the viruses down, but that wasn't too much of a problem. He quickly went down on one knee and struck his fist against the ground, causing a small tremor to roar through out the area. The fist slowly sunk into the ground like muds, only to have Voulge rip his arms out to rip a giant chunk of the ground upwards to the sky. Voulge's entire right arm was suddenly layered with rocks and dirts, revealing a gigantic stone fist for the navi to use. The rest of the rocks formed into two smaller, but still sizable fists floating right by Voulge.

"Crush them!"

Voulge backed his fist slightly behind him and flew is straight down to the Dragrin in front of him. As it crashed down on to the ground, it cracked the panels and the rest of the floating arms followed the exact motion of the punch and flew right towards the next two viruses. The rock arm was dismantled as it slowly broke down onto the ground and Voulge quickly moved away from his current position and prepared his spear. There could be a possibility that some of his attacks didn't do the job and provoked the virus, and Voulge didn't want to suffer more damage. After gaining a good distance, the navi stopped and prepared his Lancea into a thrusting position. Once activating the next chip, the fiery spear suddenly turned frigged as the blade slowly frosted and became completely frozen. Voulge gave a swift thrust right towards the viruses, which wouldn't be much normally, but it sent a powerful snowstorm from the tip of the blade right towards the surviving enemies!

...And it was a piece of cake. The three Dragrins didn't have a chance to attack before they were wiped out by a single Golemhit. If they were smarter, they wouldn't have stood so close to each other. With the path cleared of viruses, Hades Net was now open to Voulge and his support programs.

Ignis and Licht came to Voulge's side as soon as the navi picked up the zennies and Bugfrags off the ground. "Dang, faster than I thought." Both Voulge and Licht nodded simultaneously and both walked away from the lonely SP. "...This is gonna get really really really boring."

======
BATTLE TWO, READY
======
As Voulge continued his hell fire walk through the mountain of hell it's self, he comes across several viruses, two were large ass candles with burning wicks while the other two were things out of a horror movie. The floor, in a very unoriginal fashion, was made of, what else, but lava...except for a small patch where his normal elemental SP was at. Luckily Voulge and his SP were fire types, so it shouldn't be much more than an inconvenience to the dynamic...trio.

Terrain: 90% lava (everyone but Licht unless specified otherwise) 10% Normal (Licht only unless otherwise)

THE FLOOR IS MADE OF F-ING LAVA! Battle 2...BEGIN!
"Take cover, both of you."

Commanded Voulge, since he knew that this battle was going to be especially tough for the two SPs and tried to take care of it himself. Without question, Licht tried to take cover once more on the bare normal terrains, but Ignis had some fuss as usual. "Pff, I can make em kneel before me in just seconds!" The crystal flame began to conjure a pair of fireballs besides him and took notice of the Candevils, who happens to be the strongest out of the group. "You guys first!!" the first fireball began to spin rapidly, so fast that the shape began to flatten out and became more like a disc, and fired it in an arc shape direction.

Voulge would have scolded Ignis for his disobeying his commands, but he knew it was already too late and nothing would really convince him. After letting out a small sigh, he crashed his spear against the ground, causing the lava to splash up into small droplets and immediately harden into a suitable shield. "Marius, Magnum and the Blizzard"

As soon as the operator prepared the chips into the PET, the spear transformed into a gunlance and the barrel began to emit a small stack of smoke with a bright red glow from the base. The smoke got bigger and the light was more intense, but even before pushing the weapon to its maximum capability, Voulge placed his left hand over the bullet chamber of the gunlance, causing it to calm down and make a loud *CLICK*. "I only need this much." Voulge took the gunlance and flipped up the iron sight right towards the Candevils; but even before he could take the second to get a good lock on the virus, Ignis fired another fireball. "Burn!...Wait...I mean...Gahgh! I can't even make a cool one liner anymore!"

The navi couldn't help but to let out a small smile on his face, but his eyes and concentration was still fixated towards the target viruses. He clicked the trigger once, causing the lance to burst with thick gray smokes from every opening possible, covering Voulge in a thick blanket of smoke. When he pulled the trigger the second time, the gunlance rang with shockwaves as the smokes immediately dispersed and two bullets simultaneously shot straight towards the Candevils. The size of the bullets could simply be compared to an artillery shell, only when it came into contact; it exploded like napalm and covers its target in a blazing inferno.

Voulge took couple of steps back from his current position and began running right towards the HauntedCandles. Their frightful exterior didn't even scare the navi one bit as he changed the Lancea into its original form and position the blade right in front. The entire spear started to turn blue as small layers of ice began forming around it. The ice on the spear blade formed much quicker than the rest, causing it to double in size and make things easier to reach for Voulge. As soon as he reached the two viruses, he pulled the spear onto his back and smashed it on the ground, making all the ice surrounding the spear crack and exploding like a bomb!

While Licht seemed to flicker his image between the small patch of normal panels, Voulge readied his Magnum to fire at the CanDevils. However, while he readied his own weapon, Ignis was being cocky and shot some small fireballs at the viruses. Shadow subtype or not, he immediately became a valid target and a larger fireball was fired back at the support program. Voulge had no time to block it and Ignis was struck by the attack. Unleashing the full fury of his Magnum, Voulge deleted the pair of viruses in an instant before their candles could heal them.

Voulge then moved in to engage the HauntedCandles with his Blizzard but only managed to strike one as they were spaced too far apart. The surviving viruses made geysers of fire shoot up below the navi's feet but was mostly blocked off by his floated rock shield.

The shield broke and fell to the ground, but another one was quickly reconstructed in just seconds. "You acted too irrationally. Next tim-" The wounded SP stopped the navi from continuing due to his embarrassment, "HEY.SHUDDUP." Ignis learned his lesson as he turned transparent and took cover along with Licht.

Voulge lifted his hands towards Ignis and let out a sigh once more, "Think next time." he fired two white energy bullets to the support program, slowly patching the wounds from moments ago. 

He sheathed the Lancea onto his back and reached both of his hands into his Brigandine. Surprisingly, he took out two handful of throwing weapons that doesn't look like it would all fit inside that small vest. On his right was three lean throwing daggers, with exotic engraving all over the blade depicting multiple animals. On his left was a silver chakram, about the size of his palm, and literally endless amount of throwing needles.

With only one target on sight, Voulge drew each hands back as far as he could. First one to go was the right hand, the exotic throwing daggers. Each one was thrown in completely different angles, but in the midpoint between the navi and the virus, all three curved right towards the candle and shot faster than a speeding bullet. Shortly following the dagger was the weapons on the left hand. 

With a simple flick with his index and his thumb, the Chakram spun towards the sole virus and began to crackle with electricty. At first it was nothing but small statics, but as it traveled further, it was able to generate enough electrity to create lightning blades along the edges. By some odd physics, the chakram was also able to gain speed in the last second before reaching the candle.

"Last one."

He distributed half of the needles onto his right hands, so he could have a better accuracy and control. Without delay, he threw all the needles at once, creating a thick wall of painful spikes heading right at the, you guessed it, the candle.

Get: 720z
Voulge triumphed over another group of virus and grabbed the loot of the battle. Just before he tries to move deeper into the Hades Net, he looked up a Licht and began to ponder, "We still haven't attempted the Junction Process yet..." Though Marius wanted to test it out, there wasn't a good apportunity during the previous two battle to do so. "I'll keep that in mind next time."

======
BATTLE THREE, READY!
======
As Voulge moved deeper into the net, he came to a ring of lava surrounding a patch of sand. Four volcanoes sat along the lava ring, guarding what appeared to be a large pot in the center.

What was a pot doing here?

Battle 3, FIGHT
Voulge noticed something strange about the pattern the viruses was positioned and held his spear closer to him. "This is going to be troublesome...Ignis, Licht, take on the support and evade." Ignis wobbled up and down to confirm the command, knowing that if he was to be aggressive like last time, he might face deletion soon. The SP turned transparent and made sure to take cover while Licht was doing something else this time. "It's almost complete, get ready Voulge." Marius was constantly typing down something onto the PET with a small progression bar rising up. "Junction synchrony complete!" With a simple push of a button, Licht began to shine with a bright emerald glow...

The jewel in the middle of Licht shattered in a blink of an eye and the sprinkling remains fluttered down on to the ground. The two crystal flames quickly flew towards Voulge's legs and began revolving around it and shapeshifted into a lean hexagon. When the transformation was complete, it approached both of Voulge's shins and attached itself with the greaves, which instantly engulfed the navi's leg with an emerald flame. "...Woah."

Voulge was indeed surprised, but as of right now, it was just for show. Licht was still limited in actions due to the shortage of bugfrags and after the junctioning, it looked like it was already out of energy. The navi simply ignored the problem and concentrated on his enemies.

Gathering rocks and sands from the terrains, Voulge compacted a single shield to float in front of him and changed his spear's form into a gunlance. Seeing that his navi was going for a long range approach, Marius dug into his folder to take out three chips that might do the job. "Bubble-V, Magnum1, and Kunai, slot in!" When the download was complete, two giant bullets, blue and red, appeared right by the gunlance's ammo cylinder and loaded it self into the weapon.

Seeing that the Volcanos was evenly spaced between each other in a circle, the Bubble-V was the perfect chip for this situation. However, this was the first time Voulge used this chip and he needed to make sure that this one will hit. He firmly positioned the weapon against his shoulder to get a steady aim, right hand over the handle and the left hand to get a proper hold. Voulge's eyes squinted as he tried to see the perfect alignment of the shot, taking a good second or two to do so. When he did find it, he squeezed the trigger to fire the chip right towards the neatly placed Volcanos. The Bubble-V traveled in a medium sized, single sphere of water that traveled just as fast as a speeding bullet. But in mid-air, the sphere shaped into a V-shape and crashed against what hoped to be the virus, causing the tall stalk to fire like a missile towards the two behind.

The ammo chamber automatically loaded the red bullet into the gunlance and Voulge was already ready to fire the secondary bullet. But before doing so, he turned to the hiding Ignis, "Coat the bullet." Though that wouldn't mean anything for a regular navi, Voulge was a man of little words and Ignis already got the gist of what he wanted. "One coat of ambush, coming up!" Ignis shortly returned to his solid form and lit the entire weapon with crimson fire, but in just seconds, the fires turned nearly invisible and died out. As soon as it did, Voulge pulled the trigger once more and fired the devastating Magnum...right towards the Pot? Marius was confused about Voulge's action, but he thought too quickly as the Magnum literally passed through the object and headed towards the Volcano behind!

The spear reverted its form and Voulge attempted to continue his attack, but he feared that some viruses may have survived and highly agitated from the previous attacks. He thought about wasting the Kunai and focus on the dodging...until something strange happened. The emerald fire wrapped around Voulge's leg suddenly increased its size and he could feel a light sensation on his feet. The spearman couldn't think how or what just happened, but he took this chance to move away from his current position and continue with his original plan. Preparing three throwing daggers, the navi looked out for any surviving viruses and threw the daggers towards them.

Bump
Bump
Voulge junctions with Licht as Ignis slips into the shadows. The knight formulates a hardened shield before taking aim with his gunlance and blasting the viruses with a Bubble-V, deleting them in an instant, except one Volcano that moved away.

Bringing out his Magnum, the knight blasts through the pot with the help of Ignis' ability, not really damaging it, and blowing up another Volcano at the other end.

The surviving Volcano burps out a lava bomb at Voulge, who dodges it easily with Licht's support. Voulge then throws Kunais every which way, nailing the surviving Volcano with one.

The pot rumbles and a flaming dragon roars out, charging straight at Voulge... who blocks it with his shield.

The flaming dragon appears in the pot again, glaring daggers at Voulge.

Voulge looked back at the staring EarthDragon, only to turn around to ignore it. "There's no need to attack that virus for now, concentrate on the last Volcano." Marius was puzzled by navi's advise, but he had no choice as Voulge had a better understanding of the situation. Picking up three chips from the folder and slotting them in, Voulge stuck his arm out and his palm spontaneously combusted to create a towering fire.

He clasped the flame with both of his hands and molded it into a gigantic long bow, quickly stretching the string as far as he could. Soon, the arrow materialized in place, which started to disturb both Marius and Voulge. "AHAHAHA! NICE WEAPON, FAG!" The shaft of the arrow was bright pink with a heart shaped head and a fluttering feather fletching, completely clashing against the navi's overall look. Voulge sighed and his right gauntlet began to heat up in dark orange and the arrow started to have the same glow. In just seconds, the shaft turned charred black and the arrow head was narrowed and sharpened, like an actual arrow head. With a little more tug to the back, Voulge let his grip go and sent the arrow flying right towards the Volcano in a loud whiz.

Now taking another tug, the bow arched in a much steeper angle and the string was constantly vibrating due to the extreme tension. This time, three flaming arrows was placed and Voulge twisted his wrist to position the bow horizontally. The string was let loose and the arrows traveled in a peculiar pattern as all three was perfectly aligned to one another. The fires that surrounded the arrow formed into a wing and merged with one next to it,  creating what looked to be a blade of fire heading towards the virus! Voulge was sure that this attack would finish off the Volcano if the last attack was a miss and it would also deal a good number on the EarthDragon.

The long bow dispersed as soon as Voulge opened his hands and prepared his Lancea for an attack. However, as soon as he moved a step, his leg felt a little heavier than it was. He looked down at his legs to see that the crystal the was embedded on his greave lost its color and shine. "He used more energy than he was suppose to dodge that last attack. Don't worry, he's just tired." Voulge nodded and silently thanked the SP for his job and began running straight towards the EarthDragon.

Instantly, the spear was wrapped in fires and let out a small explosion to reveal a gargantuan glaive that was even bigger than the wielder! The blade's thickness was as thick as a sledge hammer and tall as a long sword. The sharpness was incredibly dull, but it made up by its unrealistic weight and Voulge's strength...however, the navi didn't think that was enough. The weapon was super-heated like the arrow before and the shape of the weapon changed into something more useful. The blade became a little more sharper and covered with thick spikes! As soon as he reached the sandy ground, he planted his right feet deep into the ground and gave it a test swing over his head. "Begone!" After another swing, he pulled the glaive over his head and sent it straight down to the ground, literally dividing the sands in half from the powerful strike.
