[Thanks for the help[Darkstar] and update [Corrupted Child]]

Adagio had stopped in the mist looking over two Spikeys. Eyes set aflame as his circuitry seemed to spark with life and interest, the feeling of not coming alive out of battle was probably the most exhilarating form of tension one could possibly have. He watched as the Spikeys had collapsed the floors, the terrain had changed slightly and Adagio could not help but mutter a cynical laugh.

Kordello scratched his head, his ember eyes narrowing down wondering what sort of pattern would work with. They were clearly on a platform with small panel bridges. Two options occurred for Kordello as he tactically thought of a plan. One was pretty darn simple, try and lure the Spikeys into a panel bridge and blast one of them with the cannon and hopefully to force it into the other and knock them off the bridge. "The other option..."

"The other option, Kordello...is to give me that Rageclaw once more. They have no where to run and no where to hide. Let me enjoy this battle as it was meant to be. Don't stick me with that crappy cannon chip."

"Should I remind you what happened last time you didn't take my advice, Adagio? I suppose you just need to learn your lesson...Slotting in!

The familiar chips were set to Adagio's system, as well as the new Guard chip they had required previously. Adagio scoffed finding that the Rageclaw was materializing around his broad armored gauntlets. Dark narrowed eyes fell upon one of the Spiky. A grin spread across his face and he launched himself forward once again placing himself in a strategic place on the panels. He would go for one at a time instead spreading the damage. He had not come in contact with Spikeys so perhaps after destroying one; he could watch their attack pattern and come up with a more soluble plan. As his feet pounded against the panels, his eyes flickered as he raised one claw and slid around the Spiky hopefully getting in position to strike its central plexus. It would be a simultaneous attack pattern by thrusting both claws forward and hopefully rendering the Spiky to a pile of junk data.

[[OOC: Do battle chips restart at the start of each new battle?]]


Kordello was going to do his happy dance when Adagio had already foreseen the possible event and told him to stop acting so childish. Kordello gave out a heavy sigh and was defeated by his own NetNavi. Curse his bad luck today with conversation! Kordello gave an epic smile as he looked over the rewards. Though modest as it was he was very pleased with what he was granted. The new battle chip would digitize on his PET as the Guard1 emblem appeared.

"Looks like we got a new chip, Adagio. Good work!"

Adagio made no remark towards the trivial battle chip. It was as useless as the long distance chips, what he needed were some melee chips...not something to protect him. He shrugged his shoulders and gave a sigh.

"Well the first batch has been taken care of, though I would have liked to see a better reward. You can use that money to upgrade me, Kordello...don't even try to use that for anything else."

Kordello gave a blank stare at his screen with a 'you got to be kidding me,' look. How in the world did he end up with such a difficult NetNavi? He shook his fast mightily towards the sky as if he were being damned by the righteous man upstairs.

"In any case, we should continue, Adagio."

Adagio agreed, of course. The battle surged through his circuitry and the zenith of battle had yet to be reached. He wanted to crave fear and despair; he wanted to be pitted with something so dreadful it would glitch his soul. It is the heat of battle where Adagio loses himself to something beyond...he wanted to unlock that part of himself to show exactly what he can do. His eyes narrowed as he continued through the area. Eyes were soaked with contagion, fists dripping with malice. Adagio took a right handed turn, a smirk crossed his face.

Initiate Battle 2!
Adagio.exe [140 HP]

Kordello could only help contain the laughter over his PET device while a metool had shown Adagio a thing or two in proper battle etiquette. Adagio took the shockwave respectively however it did not harm much of his outside appearance as it did bruise his ego slightly.

"Ready to let me give out some commands? Kordello asked mockingly.

Adagio gave out a soft audible growl, if he wanted to take out the rest of the metools, he surely would have to go with Kordello's plans. He nodded but said no word to him and raised both his hands, his metal fingers balling up to take down the rest of this weak internet trash.

"We still have five more uses for our Rageclaw, make them count here and now! Adagio! Initiate Harpsichord Pattern 2!"

Adagio growled forth, his steps were almost hypnotic as his foot slammed hard against the panels beneath him. His rageclaw was burning with ferocity as he motioned towards the metool who seemed to be hiding under its helmet. He gave a loud menacing roar to see if it would come out of its hardhat then he would aim both claws directly over head in attempt to slash it to pieces. He looked to his left and instinctively attacked the other metool, both arms where stretched out in front of him as he dove forward to execute the last part of the pattern, hopefully the forward momentum along with the powerful rageclaw combined would be enough to take out this metool.

#2] 2012 is the end of Jesus' Era. Around 2012 is the time we are supposed to have a new modern Jesus.

Has anyone seen the documentary called The Zeitgeist? You'll find that Earth has had several incarnations of Jesuses, all the same people with different names. 2012 is an end to an era, not the end of the world.

Human are too stupid and too stubborn to die off just like that.

[Thank you for catching that. ^^;]

Adagio turned his attention to the three metools. He scoffed at the viral brats and narrowed his eyes. Kordello was trying to reach Adagio, but he wasn't listening to the nonsense that he was spouting. He was going to take these three down without so much as a wear on his data.

Adagio slid one foot in front of another. His metal fists balled up tightly and his eyes focused greatly on the one metool that seemed to be full of life. Adagio snorted, "so...at least one of you has the sand to take me on, huh? No matter, the ones behind you will meet the same fate soon enough. Time for a melodic beat down!"

"Alright! Slotting in three chips! Time to put on the pres—"

"Enough of the rambling, Kordello. There is no need to get over dramatic about this...they'll fall soon enough..."

Kordello gave a sigh, the best thing he could do was just slot in some chips and hope for the best. He had faith in his NetNavi, even though he was a little cold at times.

Adagio narrowed his eyes once more; he could feel the data from the chips pouring into his system. A surge of power seemed to escape his fists as a cannon materialized. Adagio hated long distance attack chips. They were almost useless for his type, but he could do little about it. If his NetOp would actually take cases instead of reading a bunch of paper work, he might actually get paid for his time. Kordello was a smart man...but he was a lazy bum too.

Adagio straightened his right arm, eyes narrowing down at the oncoming hero metool. He pressed the trigger, though he hated distance shots...the power and slight recoil was somewhat...intense.Bang! The cannon shot could possibly force the metool back, thanks to the impressive side effect the cannon chip had and subsequently it could knock it into another metool, though luck was finicky with Adagio. It would be something like a bowling pin being struck.

The dark toned NetNavi sighed, was this all the challenge he would get from these metools? Sad to say, it was. Adagio was then given his second battle chip, the shotgun. He stepped a little closer to the buggers with a serious look on his face.

He pulled back his right hand; his fist seemed to light up with energy and then thrust it forward, causing a barrage of hail that might engulf his opponents. "Shotgun!" The bullet spread would hopefully cross two of the metools, slight 'meeping' occurred as they seemed to scatter about. Adagio shook his head...there had to be more desire than just this. Metools were weak, but they had their fare share of brutality. Narrowed eyes looked to one that seemed to scream, "Delete me!" Adagio found that his right arm had grown into somewhat of a bear claw. It was the Rageclaw1 chip, it was a close combat type chip and that made this all the more enjoyable for Adagio.

Slowly he stepped forward; the metool seemed to have wide eyes as it stared at the towering NetNavi. "Meep?"

"Oh yes, little one...Deletion time!"

Adagio roared, his right fist seemed to come from below and push upwards with a massive strike which would hopefully force the metool to rise from beneath and due to gravity taking effect, be flung skyward. It was more like an uppercut than anything else...however the intense feeling from melee combat didn't subside...nor did that one attack sedate him at all...Adagio was growing more and more restless...he was tired of this internet trash. He looked behind him as the metool rocketed downward. He scoffed...

Adagio had found himself in ACDC's Net district. It was a familiar place for him; great starting places to shake off that rust that has been slowly starting to eat at his exterior. He was jonesing for some busting. Metallic like eyes flashed around as he was looking for some prospect targets. Kordello would question him every so often about seeing any viruses that looked suitable enough for some smashing, yet nothing has showed up. Adagio continued to cautiously examine the area as he slowly walked. He turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly...there was an air of uncertainty here, his spirit was clawing at him to get free...there was a sudden surge to just fire off at anything that moved at him.

"How is it, Adagio...anything yet?"

There was silence, Adagio didn't even respond back to his Operator. Kordello hated it when he was like this; sure he listened to commands but only when he found himself in a pinch. Otherwise Adagio would go off on his own way and do whatever he wanted. He would even question Kordello's intelligence with certain chip combinations. It was slightly disheartening when he hears him back talk like that, but it was a growing experience for Kordello. Though he was somewhat slow, when times called for it...Well, even Adagio is surprised time from time.

"Alright...I had just about enough of this nonsense!" Adagio exclaimed.

:::Battle 1-Ready:::
:::Adagio.exe [150 HP]:::

Beep, beep, smash!

Drowsy, unfocused ember eyes looked sheepishly at the alarm clock. It was 6 am, and Kordello gave a rather loud and exaggerated yawn. However, as soon as his senses kicked in, the aroma of pancakes, syrup and oranges filled his being. Stretching and yawning took place in his morning routine followed by a quick scratch of his butt and a tummy roll as he marched his way towards the bathroom. His long brown hair which was now curly and bed head, was rather wild looking as he stared at himself in the mirror. Eyes half opened and squinting due the light, he turned the water on and splashed his face with invigorating cold water. Flipping the light switch, as if he was struck with some sort of horrifying news, his eyes widened...His door was locked last night...who was in his apartment?

He cautiously made his way towards the kitchen, sneaking his way under the bar table peaking out just barely enough to see who was making all this delicious looking food! Eyes gazed towards a woman with long red hair, tight jeans and a pink shirt. He turned himself around and slid down the side of the wall giving a sigh of relief. It was only Cherry, his current girlfriend...

Wait! That's not right! Kordello got up quickly and strolled into the kitchen. A rather serious look plastered over his unshaved face. Cherry looked up at him with a smile, spatchula in one hand and...some sort of goo thing..in the other. She leaned up to him and kissed his cheek sweetly as if the look of seriousness was just for show.

"How...did you get in here?" he finally asked and scratching the back of his head, "The door was locked tight, I had the door bolted when I came in, there is no way you could have got in here. And for damn certain I did not give you a key! I don't—"

"Shush...breakfast will be done shortly. Have a seat and drink some OJ," she said in a rather commanding voice.

Kordello was weeping on the inside, he was beaten! He trudged towards the kitchen table and picked up the newspaper. Reading through some of the articles, it still seemed like the same ol', same ol'. Where was his PET? He grumbled to himself and found it sitting on the bar table. Did Adagio have anything to do with this?

He took his PET and examined it.

"Hoy...Adagio...did you let Cherry in?"
"I did."
"...Why would you do that?"
"Because she called, you wouldn't answer."
"...So? That's kinda the point of me ignoring her..." Kordello barked.
"I heard that!" Cherry said in a rather loud voice.

Kordello slightly whimpered and fell down to ground level. His eyes fixed on the PET and Adagio, "I'm trying to easily get myself detached from that woman! Red heads are scary..."
"If it was a netbattle, I could help you out. But its not...I thought you guys look great together."

Kordello grumbled. He liked her, sure. She was wild, spontaneous, cute, smart, witty and charming. But he wasn't sure if she was the one for him. Kordello slumped as he was once again defeated verbally. He couldn't win to save his life right now. He crawled his way back to his chair and sat down.

"What's on the agenda today, Adagio?"
"It is your day off, might as well enjoy it while you can. I feel your NetOp experience is dwindling a little. How about a little 'busting' to bring back that cheery mood you seem to always have?"

Kordello narrowed his ember eyes, "you had to mention...'cheery.'"

Food was then placed before him, the wonderful and delightful aroma kicked his hunger into overdrive and for a spilt nanosecond he forgot all about his current dilemma. He began to pick at the pancake plate, placing 4 large disks on his plate. He smothered them with butter and a small hint of maple syrup. Cherry was a wonderful woman, he felt as though she loved him, and that was somewhat of a new thing for him...he didn't exactly know how to feel towards her. He liked her, but he hated being bound by relationships. One thing was for certain...she made damn good pancakes!

"Om nom!"

Immediately as he said those words, he was smacked upside the head by the woman. He was slightly dazed for a moment; he forgot how much she hated his more childish side. He was 25 years old, why didn't he act like it? After having a light conversation and a heavy meal, Cherry kissed Kordello and she was gone heading out for work. He waved to her as she drove off...and he finally felt free once again. Him and his bachelor pad. He went back to the bathroom and took a shower. He was full, refreshed and zest fully clean by the loud and irritating sounds that was belched from his throat as he was singing some undefined song.

"Remind me to search for vocal lessons..." Adagio said with a smirk as Kordello waltzed out of the bathroom with his street clothing on and of course all those dangly piercing that made up his alternative life style.

"I heard that!" Kordello barked mockingly. His brown hair was long and neatly tied back still moderately damp from a good towel drying. He sat down at his computer desk and examined his PET.

"Alright, Adagio...let's start with something simple."
"Yeah, simple for you maybe...I am ready for some busting."
"Why...do you always put me down?"
"Because its my current muse...Jack me in, already!"
"Ahoy-hoy...Jack in Adagio! Get your Melody On!"

He gets along well with Kordello, but believes his partying to be a bit rash at times. He admires his NetOp especially when in battle with other NetNavis. He feels comfortable knowing that Kordello is willing to put his life on the line for his sake, and Adagio shows that appreciation as much as he can.

Custom Weapon: Griever Fists

Signature Attack: 60/60 [Melee Type, 60 Dmg, Multi-Hit Attribute[4 successive attacks], 2TCD]
