Chip Calibration

Ragged as Delta might be, the Alph Spikey was doing worse. Panting and salivating fire, it roared one more time, then curled up one more time, tearing its way towards Delta in a dervish of fire. The attack was wilder, and more out of control as it bore down on him, and the navi was ready for its assault. The beat uncurled to land before him, snapping and biting with gouts of flame, but Delta managed to weave in around the attacks and deliver a quick and decisive strike with his sword. The Spikey staggered to one side, then collapsed with a last snarl of dying rage, before its data-leaking wounds sapped the last of its strength and it stilled, beginning to break down into loose data.

Further off, the one remaining virus paused in its tracks, taking in the scene, and the victorious navi at its centre, then promptly turned in place and retreated as fat as its tank treads could take it. An unexpectedly tight battle, but at the end of it Delta had won through, and was able to claim a well earned reward, along with some slightly less common data from the felled metavirus.

Delta winced as he collected the rewards from the fight. "Henry, what's the status on my repair system?"

His NetOp took a moment to respond, "I have things working again, but...maybe we should call it a day? That fight nearly went badly, We could grab an upgrade and some subchips before...

"I'll be fine, I'm not that hurt." Delta interrupted, beginning to scan the area around the battlefield for other viruses.

Henry took the pause as a cue to continue speaking, "About the repair system...I don't know exactly what happened, but I couldn't get it to run exactly as it was...you're going to need to actively use it, rather than just letting it passively heal you."

Delta seemed unperturbed by this revalation. "Even without healing, I think that I'm good for at least one more fight. Let's give the new system a test drive, shall we?"

"...If you insist. We need to see how it works anyway."

((The answer lies in the heart of Battle 4!))

Victorious and undaunted, Delta insisted on pressing on just a little further to get the feel for his new system updates, and explored deeper into the less-travelled areas of the SciLab network. His search for something to engage led him into some of the dingier alleys that saw less traffic, and it wasn't long before network areas that were less cared for began to come to light.

One particular alleyway between two high-rise towers, promised the conflict that Delta was seeking; just ahead of him, hemmed into by the alley walls, a series of piles of discarded junk data were being picked over by a scattering of scavenger viruses, and just behind, twinkling near the top of a particularly large pile of junk, the promise of valuable data in the form of a glowing green crystal.

To his left, a pair of insect-like magneakers chittered amongst themselves and picked at a data pile, but looked up first as Delta entered the alley way. Their wings buzzed and flickered as they turned to face the threat encroaching upon their scraps. Further squeaks and viral chattered answered as three ratty viruses poked their own heads up from behind some of the other piles of junk.

MagneakerMagneaker (Magneaker)

Magneaker viruses move and dodge slowly. Magneakers attack by launching MagBombs by default. When there is a stunned enemy on the field, however, they will instead charge at the stunned opponent with surprising speed. They are quick to react to the presence of stunned enemies, and execute this attack with very little delay. The DashAttack counts as a dodge against opponents attacking from any angle except dead-on or from directly behind the Magneaker. Magneakers do not charge at un-stunned enemies, unless there is a stunned target in-line with them. Magneakers have Omnishoes while executing a charge attack.

The familiar weight of his shield program settled onto Delta's arm as he activated the defensive program. At the same time, his netop spoke, "Okay, so the self-repair system works more like your rocket now. It needs time to cool down between uses, but you'll get more of an effect when you use it."

"Excellent." With that, Delta activated the repair system, creating an emergency medical kit. Opening the kit, he grabbed some bandages and began to unwind them- at which point the entire kit, bandages and all, vanished as Delta's injuries were repaired.

Already aware of his risky position against the viruses, Delta stood and began moving to avoid attacks. Fortunately for the navi, Henry had already sent two chips. Raising his buster, Delta fired, launching a blast that swiftly expanded into a wide blade of energy towards the insectoid viruses.

Once again dodging, the navi examined his second chip. After a moment's thought, he activated it, summoning a turret onto the field. The weapons platform promptly opened fired upon the ratty viruses, sending a barrage of spikes downrange towards the unfortunate rodents.

Quick to set up his only defense, it turned out Delta would was right on the money with that needed defense as a Magneaker would quickly fire a bomb his way with a puff of air, a metal crackling bomb flung haphazardly towards him and missing quite definitively as it landed far beyond his position, whist one of the Ratties would quickly shoot a bomb out in turn, but the tracking bomb went wide of it's inital target, but wasn't done just yet as it would make a turn around soon.

With Delta quickly patching himself up and getting some extra endurance under his belt, the two other ratties would make sure to send out a duo of bombs at the solo navi, one just missing him as it was passed by him and beginning to turn around for a second shot at the navi, the other would blow up right in his face, but just barely blocked by his shield, leading to it crumpling under the blast and shrouding him in smoke briefly.

The Magneakers would wait as the smoke cleared from the blast, but, would quickly get a blast of highly pressurized water shot at them, one dodging out of the way as the other would be blasted out of existence (70) and deleting the junk pile. As the Ratties watched on, they would begin to fire at him again, one after another...and the bombs honed straight in on him, one after another, but by some amount of dumb luck, he managed to avoid getting clipped by them, between one missing and the other two...this time blowing up in his face...and sending him right back to where he was at the start (30x2). Delta would make sure to summon some help in the form of a Needler, the weapons platform shooting a spray of needles at the trio of Ratties and managed to tag two of them twice, sending them to hell where they seemingly belonged (30x2, 30x2), while missing the last entirely...it was down to the wire for the viruses...and thankfully with the destruction of two Ratty viruses, two of the bombs would defuse entirely, but there was still one headed right for his ass.

((What's with the pings?))

Delta turned, opening fire with his buster at the bomb that was still tracking him along the ground. At the same time, his turret fired on the remaining viruses.

Returning his attention to said viruses, Delta felt the weight of his rocket launcher settle into place as he formed the weapon, taking aim at the magnetic grasshopper. Firing at the virus, the navi swiftly activated his shield, the defensive program taking form to block an incoming attack, even as he addressed Henry, "Okay, what have you got for me?"

"Candle, battlechip in. Cannon, battlechip in."

Stepping out of the path of an attack, Delta activated the candle chip, causing a giant candle to form on his side of the field. Without missing a beat, the navi then brought up his buster and fired, sending the blast of the cannon battlechip downrange towards the Ratty (or whatever had survived his barrage so far at least).

((The 'Ping' is our way of denoting an exact delete; it's a minor hat tip to the game series, where a little sound would play on perfect deletes. If you delete a virus with exact damage (i.e. dealing exactly 30 damage to a target that has 30hp left), you get a small bonus of extra bugfrags.))

Two quick shots from his buster let Delta take care of the remaining ratton missile still skittering between the junk piles towards him, while his needle turret continued to lay down fire with precision accuracy. The final ratty was pinned by two shots and deleted, while the Magneaker was winged by one of the shots as it attempted to pepper Delta with another stun bomb. Thrown off by the needler's dart, the bomb sailed wide and exploded with a crackle of static, off to Delta's right, giving the navi a clear shot to finish the battle with his rocket launcher. In the screen created by the weapon's smoke, Delta prepared other defences just in case, but by the time it cleared away he could see that further action wasn't needed for now; the battle was won.

All that was left was to claim his spoils, as the viruses broken down into salvageable zenny, and one of the neakers left behind something that cold be converted into chip data. There was also the green crystal, nestled near the top of the largest refuse pile, even if climbing up to it seemed like it might be a bit unstable.

Delta sighed and stretched as he walked up to collect the spoils. "Well, the system works...I don't know how good an idea it is to keep going without subchips though."

Henry hummed thoughtfully before answering, "Well, we have a decent amount of Zenny now...we could always grab some subchips and upgrades on the way home."

Delta reached the large refuse pile, and began climbing up to the GMD, "That actually sounds good. Let me grab this data and we can go." As he reached the GMD, the netnavi steadied himself, examining the mystery data, before attempting to open it where it was.

((Open GMD))

Opening the GMD, Delta would soon find it full to the brim with zenny. Albeit in small amounts, mostly 1s and 5s, but all together the pile that sloped out onto his feet would add up for a decent little bit of pocket change.

(GMD: 1800z reward)

((5600z->7400z))
"Alright, let's go." And with that, the red and white clad navi was whisked away in a beam of light.
