Fight Fire With Fire!

The navi stopped after seeing the dead end and let out a small sigh from his mouth. "...A dead end? Man, with this shitty floor plan, no wonder they left this place." Just before he turned around to head back, he saw the glyph spinning and shining, first time seeing this happen. They waited couple of seconds but it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon. "What do you think Voulge?" The navi patiently stared down at his weapon, "I'm sure it's Lord Slayer trying to contact us...Let's wait."

[Wait for it to stop spinning]
Voulge didn't notice h unconsciously went up the stairs and was now on the second level, but that's ok.

--

Soon enough the emblem stopped spinning and the right arm of the cross extended pretty far.

Glancing to his right, Voulge saw a long hallway.

He made his way through.

--

Reaching the end, he found big, black double doors. Trying to open them, he found them locked.

In response to this situation, Voulge felt his Lancea shift forward....

...and thrust itself easily into the doors.

Apparently Voulge himself has to turn it sideways.
Following the emblem's direction, Voulge found himself in front of a towering gate, similar to the one he faced before with Lord Slayer. "He gotta be in there...Take caution." Voulge nodded and slid the blade into the crack of the gate, surprised to find it so easily to do so, and turned the Lancea sideways like a key...
Voulge heard a clicking sound and drew back his Lancea, the double doors opening slowly and ominously. The Holy Symbol shrunk back to its normal size and moved to the hilt of the weapon.

--

What awaited Voulge was truly Lord Slayer, but an ominous air hung about him. Black fumes seeped out of his armor and was covering the room.

"Ah, so the other one has come... Good, good," Lord Slayer commented, his voice not his own, yet still his at the same time. Voulge remembered that voice! It was the one of that being who wouldn't show himself last time!

"You're stronger than last time, both of you, in fact," the possessed navi spoke, turning toward Voulge.

Nothing had really changed about Lord Slayer, except for the fumes seeping out of his body, and that his eyes had turned pitch-black. It's as if Voulge was staring into a vast pit.

"This fool is so easy to trick. I will get rid of him soon enough," the one possessing Lord Slayer said. "So..." Lord Slayer drew his sword. "Any last words?"

-Battle has not commenced-
-Any chips used at this point will be unusable for the remainder of this battle-
-Signatures will count your next post as activation and the first turn of battle as the first turn of cooldown-
"..."

Voulge was surprisingly calm during this strange moment, keeping his cool as he held the Lancea with both his hands and assumed his combat stance. Ignis and Licht flew just behind the nav, using Voulge as their cover and silently watched how the sitution unfolded.

"You make light of me..."

The navi began to emit dense heatwaves that began to react to the fumes covered in the room, slowly pushing back to the source. Voulge took the spear and gave it a quick swipe, causing the heatwaves to explode with force and momentarily blinded both the SP behind him. When their sights returned, they found that the cover they used disappeared and was just below the floating Lord Slayer!

Despite what effects the fumes was doing to him, Voulge took the Lancea and hurled it right above him with all his might. When it came contact with something, Voulge grabbed onto the chain and began to surge it with his own fiery power to stun the possessed Lord Slayer into place. On top of that, he began to manipulate the chains so it would place a double lock to keep the navi from moving at all.

"Reveal your true self!"

[Activate: Retairius Triden [Teleport / Stun x2 / Take Aim / 3TCD]

"Heh."

Just as Voulge teleported before the possessed Lord Slayer and sent his Lancea flying at him, the knight navi shuffled quickly to the side, only to be caught in the Lancea's chain.

"Persistent! This'll turn out to be fun!" the ominous voice cackled, still bound in chains.

"Oh, have I forgotten to introduce myself? How ruse of me. I am Veriant, nice to meet you," the possessor greeted mockingly, a confident grin on his face.

"Let us dance."

The double doors behind Voulge closed and locked. Luckily it didn't send the room into pitch-black darkness.

-BATTLE 5-
-GO-
The way Lord Slayer took light of his current situation made both Voulge and Marius uneasy; No navi should be smiling when they are left so vulnerable. "This guy is nuts!" Ignis yelled while he was hiding in the other end of the closed room. "Voulge. We only met this guy, so let's just make like a tree and GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. And please don't spare me with that chivalry crap!" Voulge kept his eyes fixed on the possessed Lord Slayer, completely unresponsive to what his Support Program said. "... Send me the following chips; I need to keep him occupied." Voulge lifted his left hand up to his torso, while the right had the Lancea pointed towards Lord Slayer, and wrote a short memo of the chips to Marius. Ignis sighed and began to float with Licht towards the spearman, knowing that reasoning with him would be just a waste of time. "The battlechips are loaded in...Whenever you are ready, Voulge."

Voulge eyed Licht for a quick second and began to form his temporary shield out of the debris from the old, abandoned building. This prompted the support program into activating its Junction System, shattering the droplet sized jewel that connected Licht's two crystal body and causing them to fly directly towards Voulge's legs. The junction only took seconds as the two crystals instantly merged with Voulge's metal greaves, but with its limited speed and stamina, Licht already reached its limit and required a cool down.

The navi uploaded the first chip into his spear, causing the spearhead to heat up in bright orange and literally explode and expand into a charred, thick blade almost three times larger than the original size. The sharpness wasn't so great, even duller than the Lancea's original form, but the added weight and size could easily crush and crack through whatever Veriant prepared for Voulge.

"Forgive me!" The navi held onto the enlarged spear with both his hands and swung it over his head, quickly gaining momentum with its hefty weight. Voulge knew that Veriant used Lord Slayer in order to trick him into giving up, but instead, Voulge was going to do the opposite. Judging from his previous encounter with Lord Slayer, he knew that this was no ordinary navi. He could take a hit no normal navi could withstand and keep on fighting. With this in mind, he would try to render Lord Slayer into a weakened state with all that he's got and hopefully force Veriant's control away.

When the spear gained enough momentum to nearly send Voulge flying right off his feet, the navi gave one more extra swing with all his power behind it and leapt right into the stunned Lord Slayer. When the spear was just behind his head, Voulge already reached the range he needed for his spear to hit. "Leave, deceiver!" He planted both his feet into the ground, gaining control of the unstoppable force behind the spear. Voulge's entire body spun with the final swing, hitting what he hoped to be Lord Slayer and the spear crashed against the ground, causing the cracked rocks to fly all over the place.

"Fall back! We still don't know what he can do!" The navi changed the spear back into its original, more mobile form and quickly backed away from the navi. However, it looked like Ignis wanted a shot at the situation and charged up one gigantic flame just behind Voulge. "Pi-ka-boo!" As soon as Voulge passed Ignis, it fired multiple fire pellets from the single flame towards what he hoped to be the immobile Lord Slayer and didn't stop until the giant fire was nothing but grey smoke.

After gaining a good distance, Voulge turned towards Lord Slayer once more with his spear strapped on to his back. Before he continued with his assault, he caught a glimpse of Ignis once more and let a small sigh out from his mouth."That reckless idiot..." Sticking both his arms forward, the gauntlet began to light up, but not in the usual heated orange, but an electric yellow. The whole arm was shining bright and the currents slowly slithered towards the palm, and eventually into his index fingers. It sparked violently and lit up the dark room with ease, but the whole process wasn't solely intended to brighten up the place. The electricity began to flux and bend into all sorts of shapes and sizes till it formed into a nearly solid ring.

With two electric chakrams on both his hands, one slightly larger than the other, Voulge began to spin it around his fingers. In just seconds, the two rings was flicked in a flash and it flew side by side right towards Lord Slayer. Leaving a trail of sparks behind as it flew, the rings exploded in a small burst when it came in contact with something. It wouldn't inflict any lethal damages, but it could stun Lord Slayer into place until Voulge could some how free Veriant's control.

"This will be fun," Veriant commented cheerfully, Lord Slayer's face grinning cockily as the navi was knocked back against the wall.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You think he can hear you? Well... you're right!" Veriant exclaimed, a bit... too cheerful for the situation. Lord Slayer's body righted itself and the knight slashed mightily at Voulge, who dashed out of the way, but the powerful shockwave emitted from the swing broke the lancer's shield.

Ignis took this chance to make a surprise attack, but Lord Slayer simply held his hand up and formed a round shield covered in smog, blocking the blows, and finally breaking with Voulge's input.

"Not bad, not bad. I think this guy would actually have fun dueling with you, despite the situation," Veriant suggested casually as Lord Slayer raised his sword and launched flying electric sword-shaped blasts at Voulge, most of which collided with the first chakram, the final one knocking Voulge on the side. The second chakram managed to hit Lord slayer though.

"Elecsword!" Veriant cried out, the Rising Blade giving off a solid, yellow aura at the moment. Taking a wide swing, Lord Slayer managed to graze Voulge, but thankfully it only hit his legs....

...plugging Licht out from the battle.

Lord Slayer grunted, feeling the effects from the Zapring take effect.

"Ho ho! It's a good dance, eh?" Veriant chuckled, Lord Slayer's body a bit loose.

Voulge.exe: 215 HP

(Bah, the last bit might sound weird...)

Voulge quickly gained his grounds after the devastating attack from Lord Slayer, bitter about the unfortunate loss of Licht and thankful for his brave sacrifice. Once Ignis saw how his sibling program disappear and how futile his attack was, the cocky SP couldn't help but to take into his hiding position once more while the enemy was temporarily stunned. "I told you to run away, but damnit Voulge! It's obvious that that guy is completely possessed! There's nothing we can do!"

Ignis' words struck true to Voulge. It looked like bruising Lord Slayer's body wasn't going sever the Verient's control, and the spearman tried to think of anything that would prove useful in this harsh situation. What if he was to defeat Lord Slayer into complete submission? Would he risk using an EJO cut the control when there is a chance of a Jack-out Barrier set in the area? Is Veriant somewhere in this room? Wasting time against this crazed navi would only prove harmful to Lord Slayer. Thoughts after thoughts went through Voulge's mind until he could barely think for himself.

"Have courage, Voulge."

Marius' words spoke into the navi's ear during his hectic thinking. "You can't let this get the best of you. Have courage and overcome this problem!" Voulge had a blank stare on his face, but immediately regained his color and gave his usual, calm nod. "...Affirmative." As if all the troubling thoughts were washed away, Voulge held onto his Lancea and quietly assumed his combat position. "Veriant! You will rue the day of your existence!" Voulge's shout resonated and caused a handful of debris from the ground, including the some that use to be his shield just moments before, to lift up into the air and form into a tightly packed disk.

Behind his temporary shield, he prepared a miniature crossbow from his brigandine and aimed it right at the stunned Lord Slayer. If Voulge was to get the chance of snapping Lord Slayer back to his sense, he would need to at least disarm the dangerous sword from him. When his grip tightened on the crossbow handle, the tip of the bolt began to drip green droplets constantly until it almost made a small pool underneath. With this special poison, it would cause the Elecsword to be immediately infected and be rendered useless, while causing minimum damage to the navi's body; perfect for his current situation. Voulge was now more than confident about his actions and pulled the wooden trigger to send the poison bolt. The tense string was let loose, firing the bolt with a trail of green behind and flew barely undetected due to its small size. To make the best of the poison's effect, it was heading right towards the stunned Lord Slayer's arm that was holding the Elecsword.

"Now! Lock him down!"

Voulge dropped the crossbow down and immediately dashed up to Lord Slayer with his spear head on front. He lowered his entire body in to a near horizontal, trying to maximize the speed he was currently running, and tucked the body of the spear under his armpit. Marius prepared two chips at once and loaded both of them one by one, causing Voulge's speed to nearly triple and the Lancea's silver blade to slowly lose its color into a dirty black. The navi didn't stop running even after his immense speed boost, closing the gap quickly. Once the blade turned completely black, it lit up like a torch and the blade began to mold into a long, thick blade, spewing out bunches of embers when ever the wind came in contact with the blade. At the last moment before Voulge was inches away from Lord Slayer, he spun to the side with a quick footwork and attempted to plunge the burning blade with into the back of his enemy/friend.

With his right hand gripping onto the Lancea, hopefully stabbed right into the navi's back, he took his left hand and tried to wrap it around the navi's arm, head, or anything Voulge could grab onto. He had no intention of letting go, even if it was to jeopardize his own body, as it was all for the sake of freeing the navi. "LORD SLAYER, SNAP OUT OF IT! YOU CAN BREAK HIS CONTROL!" Voulge did everything he could to make sure his grip over Slayer wouldn't go loose, even letting go of the Lancea and using both arms to restrain. Even if Veriant was committed to take down both of them, he wouldn't be able to do so if Lord Slayer wouldn't be able to move, forcing him to reveal his true body. This was Voulge's current plan, succeed or fail, he hoped that this would at least make some progress.

Voulge fought valiantly for his friend, knocking the power of the Elecsword loose of Lord Slayer's sword with his RollArrow, before prepping for his next move.

"Rue my existence, will I? I'll have you show me!" Veriant cackled, positioning the sword forward. Lord Slayer mumbled an incantation and swung his sword upward, sending a bolt of lightning into the ceiling, which then rained down an array of arrows

One arrow broke the shield, and four more stabbed into Voulge's armor before the knight teleported away, behind the possessed knight. The lancer quickly stabbed his FireKnife into his friend, and tried to restrict his movements with excessive grappling.

"Better than I thought! But I guess I'll let you have your fun! Come!" Veriant bellowed, the smoke from Lord Slayer's body billowing out by tenfold and collecting behind Voulge's back. Lord Slayer fell limp in his friend's arms, but Voulge felt a very different sensation blasting the back of his body.

Heat, something very powerful indeed, and Voulge grunted against the might of something from his own element. Turning around, Voulge saw, to his horror...

...a Spikey, it's hide a deepest, jet-black, a silver furred belly, eyes glowing blood-red, and fangs bared ferociously. Could Veriant create viruses or...

...Oh, they were the Virus Riders after all....

"Well, have fun dealing with this guy. I'll see you later," Veraint's voice cackled, as the black harddrive from before appeared between the virus and Voulge and dropped from the sky. The color changed to somewhat of a silver chrome, but that wasn't the problem right now.

The Spikey in front of them growled once more, blue flames spitting out from the corners of its mouth.

On another note, Voulge saw iron balls chained its legs. What could be the meaning of all this?

"Urghh!! YOU'RE NOT RUNNING AWAY, COWARD!"

Voulge gnashed his teeth in frustration, but he couldn't do anything with the unconscious Lord Slayer on his arms and a ferocious Spikey on his back. He pulled the spear out of Lord Slayer, exerting few of his fire energies before doing so to burn the wounds shut, and placed the unconscious knight onto the ground.

Voulge's eyes took a short glimpse on Ignis and transformed the Lancea back into it's original form, "Take him into safety." His voice already returned to his usual, dull tone, even after his angry shout towards Veriant. "Hey! How the hell can I drag this sagging body when he's like three time bigger than me!" He didn't give and responses back to the SP but instead began to strategize with Marius. "FINE! Do whatever!" Even after saying so, Ignis crept up to Lord Slayer and began to push him off the center of the room with his body and hopefully into safety. 

"Even though that virus looks tough, you have the advantage, Voulge" the operator pointed towards the shackle attached to the Spikey's hind leg, "Terminate it and chase after Veriant." Voulge nodded once and the debris around him began to rise up and pack into a floating shield, prompting the Spearman to slowly pick up speed towards the virus. The head of the spear transformed into the fireknife once again, with its burning stout blade, and the navi attempted to crash head on against the Spikey with the shield in front...

However...

Something clicked inside of Voulge's mind and began to slow down. He realized what type of navi Veriant was; He would deceive and manipulate others for his own deeds, even if it was against their will to do so, including this virus. "Change in the plan, Marius. Veriant can wait." Voulge changed the Lancea from the FireKnife into his signature jousting lance, still heading towards the chained Spikey.

His plan was simple, free the virus. There was an obvious risk of doing so, but he couldn't shake off the thought that it was also being controlled. Rather than dashing straight forward, Voulge began to move in a zig-zag pattern with the tip of the lance just barely touching the ground, trying to dodge any attacks coming his way. When he got near the virus, Voulge momentarily stopped on the spot and pounced right to the side, turning his fullest attention to the iron ball and lifted his jousting lance up to his chest level. Voulge turned his entire body towards the right with his left arm forward and the right arm holding the lance back. He clenched his hands into a fist and twisted his entire body to exert a powerful blow against the iron balls, hopefully destroying all of them with a single shot.

Now that it was finished, Voulge now had to wait to see the results: Will the Spikey attack as his 'master' has ordered? or return back to its normal senses. Even so, this has placed Voulge in a dangerous situation and prompted him to back away from the virus, ready to dodge anything that would be thrown at him.

Voulge bunched up a shield of debris while the Spikey fired two more heatshots at the charging knight, one blocked by Voulge's shield and one weaved under with his excessive moving.

Deciding this was the best route of action, Voulge blasted the chains with his spear attack, blowing away two of the iron balls from the back legs before being knocked back with a headbutt from the Spikey.

Lord Slayer stirred a little as Ignis tried moving him away...

((OH BOY! I can solidify my rightful title as the BAWLDESTROYER with my MAGNUM

'Aim: TWO GOROKE MEMES IN ONE'

...Also, 2 AM...very tired...))

Quickly standing up to his feet after the virus' headbutt, Voulge quickly scanned the area to judge what his next move should be. His previous attack only broke two of the Iron balls and it didn't show any notable changes in the virus' movements. This, however, would not discourage the navi from continuing from what he was doing. "Oi! I think this guy isn't dead yet!" Ignis pointed out to Voulge that Lord Slayer slowly began to recover his consciousness, bring a feint smile on the spearman's face. Now even more determined, Voulge set out to destroy the rest of the Spikey's shackle in order to free the virus.

Marius, despite him not approving Voulge's current actions, sent two chips into the PET. "This better have a result, Voulge." The navi slammed the spear down to the ground, freeing both of his hands, and begun to crack the knuckles. His right arm began to materialize a gigantic, mechanical gauntlet, constantly spewing out white steams and noises of gears crackling. After moving the fingers around, Voulge grasped the utility of the chip and run right towards the virus.

The navi ran with his right hand wide open rather than a closed fist and moved to the Spikey's legs. With the iron ball on his sight, his steampunk fist swooped in for a powerful swing, hammering straight down onto the ground to create an intense shockwave that might effect the shackles nearby. But that wasn't it. The gears inside the gauntlet began to click in a faster pace and the steam was let out in a higher pressure.

Voulge pulled the fist out from the ground and pointed it towards the the other iron balls with a straight up palm. The entire hand of the gauntlet began to heat up in a bright orange and a barrel emerged from the center of the palm, glowing even brighter and red-er than the rest. Supporting his right arm for a steady grip, closing one of his eyes in order to heighten his accuracy, and planting his legs into the ground for a better balance, Voulge was ready to take the shot. He made sure that the virus wouldn't be harmed, or at least too harmed by the powerful blast and fired the beam of heat right towards the shackles, nearly sending the navi's arm dislocated.

Voulge spent the rest of his efforts into focusing on destroying the Spikeys ball- I mean, shackles.

The virus roared even mightier, apparently the iron balls were a limiter on its speed, and now it was moving around like a daredevil!

Voulge then remembered the room was locked as a fireball struck his arm.

"Ungh... where...?" a voice mumbled. It seemed Lord Slayer was waking up.

As soon as the familiar voice came to Voulge's ear, he turned his attention towards the lain Lord Slayer, completely ignoring the fierce burn he received on his arm. "You're awake...This is a relief." Voulge truly was relieved with Lord Slayer's well being, but the Spikey he tried to free was still resisting. Placing yet another shield up at the hope of blocking off one more fireball, Voulge started to think of another way to free this virus...

Ignis, on the other hand, also saw that the navi was fine and immediately flew away from Lord Slayer. " 'ey! You're fine now!" Right after saying so, Ignis immediately flew behind a cover, valuing his life even more than the half-awake navi. "Every man for himself...". The operator looked over at the situation and thought that Voulge's attempt at pacifism wasn't going to work at all. But he knew that the navi wasn't going to change his mind so easily and had to make the best of the situation. After a quick analysis, he immediately saw the silvery hard drive between the Spikey and Voulge, recognizing it as the item of interest. "Ignis, retrieve that hard drive. If that thing is destroyed in the cross fire, all of this would be for nothing!" The SP frowned, even thought he didn't have any facial features, and tried to think up an excuse to get hiimself out of the situation. "Hey now! I just risked my ass saving this lame-o knight wannabe and you want me to save that..." Marius gave a sharp glimpse at his PET, sending chills through out Ignis' body and sent the little critter flying right in the middle of the battle.

Ignis sprouted out a pair of claw from his crystal body and hooked onto the Hard Drive. "Got it!" Hoping not to get attacked by the ferocious Spikey, he flew off nearly twice the speed from before and took cover once again. It was then Voulge came across the solution for this dilemma. He turned towards Lord Slayer once again and ran up to the navi. "Listen to me. That Spikey is one of Veriant's rider viruses. No matter how I see it, this virus is definitely controlled by him!" He turned his back and face himself and the shield towards the spikey, knowing that a single hit from the virus could mean death to the wounded Lord Slayer. "You said you were part of the riders in the past, correct? Then you should know how to free it!!"

Ignis quickly snatched the harddrive away and tried to be careful, but the Spikey was racing around the perimeter of the room, so Ignis had no choice but to stay put and watch the enemy's movements closely.

Meanwhile, Voulge had informed Lord Slayer of the situation, who shook his head to wake himself, the black mane of his hair tossing to and fro.

"Veriant's mind control is powerful, but not absolute. This Spikey though... that hide, that belly... I've seen it before..." Lord Slayer grumbled, getting to his feet as a refreshing wave of energy washed over him. Voulge found the same energy wash over himself as well and turned to Lord Slayer in thanks as the knight drew his sword.

"No problem my friend, but the first thing we ought to do is keep this one from moving," Lord Slayer said, nodding firmly. "I can do it, but I'll need a distraction..."

Both navis' eyes wandered toward Ignis. Voulge was kind of itching for a whistle for some reason.

Reaching into his brigandine, Voulge pulled out a small whistle shaped like sleeping sheep and placed it between his teeth. "Better hold your grounds." He blew wind through the whistle, opening the sheep's eye and its mouth, resonating a high pitch vibration through out the closed room. There was a few seconds of silence until something began rustling beneath the debris and cracks around the room. Heads of the Mokos popped out like whack-a-moles from those debris and cracks, all facing towards the center of the room with their blank, cute eyes. After another whistle, the Mokos began to fly out and crowd the isolated room with their mass number and thick fleeces.

"This should be enough...But just in case!"

Equipped with his trusty Lancea, Voulge ran straight towards the Spikey while weaving through the chaos created by his Mokos. His eyes was locked onto the bright, silver furs on the Spikey, as it was the most viable target within the already darkened room, and began a mad dash at his top speed. If the virus was still moving around, Voulge would follow it until he could catch up; if it was stuck in the midst of the Mokos, he could simply trick the virus' vision points and strike from the behind. When the chance came through, the Lancea was immediately covered in a tower of fire and exploded to reveal a golden trident. With two hands, Voulge sent a straight thrust with the trident, hopefully stunning and calming the virus down for a moment or two.

Not knowing what Lord Slayer might do to the Spikey, the navi simply backed away from the virus, just in case.

The Spikey instantly noticed the Mokolos and focused all its attention on them, weaving in and out of the ranks.

What it should've been focusing on, however, was Voulge, who, in the meantime, used one of his nifty sig attacks to stun the virus in place.

"Let's make it a combo!" Lord Slayer yelled, who had finished humming an incantation of some sort and slammed his sword into the ground.

Great rumbling encompassed the rooms as golden chains shot out from the ceiling, walls, and floor, binding the virus in place. The Spikey howled in frustration as it tried to struggle free of its bonds, but to no avail.

"Resolute Restriction," Lord Slayer commented, letting out a sigh as he and Voulge walked toward the bound Spikey.

The Holy Symbol.CRST shone up on both weapons, causing the ex-Rider to smirk. He placed the flat of his blade on top of the Spikey's head and gestured for Voulge to do the same.

Voulge heard a yowl from the Spikey and turned around quickly, only to find that it had pounced upon Lord Slayer and was licking his face happily.

"Ah ha ha ha... stop it! That tickles! Oh ho ho!" Lord Slayer laughed, overjoyed at the virus' reception.

After some more of this, Lord Slayer was able to get the Spikey off and brush himself off, clearing his throat.

"Let me introduce you to my noble steed, Argon. He apologizes for the trouble, but wishes that you will forgive him," the knight commented, bowing as Argon lowered his head and gave a small whine.
