Terra nodded curtly as the data container was placed down, and she inspected the package for a moment. As she was motioning to leave, she saw another holoscreen nearby that caught her eye, and her eyes narrowed as the advertised upgrade displayed its effects. Hesitating for a moment, she added, "Excuse me, I'd like to add something else," before indicating in the holoscreen's direction.

Being dropped into the virus nest, Asymptote went about trying to survive the drop by producing an electrical barrier around himself from his generator. Both of the Billy viruses began charging their Thunderballs, and fired them off, just as Asymptote fired a triple lightning bolt attack against three of the viruses. All of the bolts landed, and roasted them into a black crisp against the metallic flooring. The Grinner was left alone on the field, floating all by its lonesome. Its solar panel body split up with a hiss, and its mouth opened slightly, before a shining beam burst forth from the gap towards him. Oddly enough, the concentrated beam went far off from Asymptote's hulking body, and simply fired off into the darkness. With his enemy's attack voided, Asymptote's fist flew, quite literally, into the Grinner's face. Its first strike unfortunately went slightly wide, but the second and third attacks landed successfully, cracking the virus's body significantly, but not quite deleting it yet. His body then started to cool down just as a few more viruses entered his field of vision. The whir and rumble of a pair of Catack tanks, paired with the low hum from a red UFO heralded the new entrances, lined up directly behind the Grinner.

GrinnerGrinner (Grinner)

The Grinner virus possesses a body consisting of only one large solar panel, coated in colored metal with a design like a stoic, robotic face. The color of its body varies according to its strength. (yellow/orange/red/purple/blue/green/black). The virus attacks by opening its "mouth" to reveal its panel, then firing a beam of refracted light towards its enemies. When other solar panels are nearby, its attack will magnify additional light and become even more powerful. The Grinner moves very slowly, but is entirely invulnerable to attacks while its mouth is closed. It has been described jokingly as "the energy efficient Dominerd" due to the similarities between the viruses. The virus itself is electric, but its beam burns like fire, so wood navis need be wary.

Area: NAXA, Electown, SciLab

HP: 100
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 20 Fire Shot + Piercing + Solar Terrain Boost 10 + Self-Cancel Body Effects
Primary Attack Accuracy: A
Primary Attack Description: Fires a scorching beam of refracted, magnified light. The beam deals extra damage when fired by a Grinner floating over solar terrain.

RedUFO (V1)RedUFO (V1) (ColorUFO)

ColorUFOs are able to temporarily steal chip data from their enemy, preventing the use of that battlechip until the end of the battle. ColorUFOs only attack once per turn, maximum, and spend the rest of the turn dodging. This attack is guaranteed to hit unless the target dodges when they attempt their attack, meaning it can be evaded with luck. The attack ignores every form of defence, including any form of stealth. ColorUFOs move and dodge at slightly better than average rates. They are capable of full flight. If there is no valid target with a chip for the UFO to attempt to steal, they will instead zap one target with a particle beam.

Terrascape (Archiver): Raging Landslide
| Stage Change: Mud + Strengthen 20 | 3 TCD | 120 SP |
Overcharging her Terraform processes, Terra unleashes an all-encompassing change towards the landscape, summoning a cascade of thick mud to devour the entire field. The surge of energy gained from the mass conversion enhances her strength.

Terraforce (Archiver): Spirit of Disaster
| Teleport | 2 TCD | 80 SP |
One of the many interesting facets of the terrain that spans every network is the embedded data transfer lines within the CyberPanels. An ingenious method of dramatically increasing throughput of small data packets, these ultra high speed lines are usually only traversable by those packets, as they follow a specific format. Through this signature, Terra converts her form into compatible packet data, warps through the data lines, and reappears somewhere else in the blink of an eye.

Terraforce (Archiver): Force of Disaster
| Microburst | 1 TCD | 40 SP |
Using her terraforming abilities on the air generally results in a rejection signal, as the network sends back a cancellation for any invalid input. This ability concentrates these invalid requests into a single point as a Denial of Service-style attack, resulting in the network forcefully de-allocating the airspace and creating a brief vacuum. This tends to propel most anything for a fair distance -- basically, an air cannon.

Terraforce (Archiver): Restoration of Disaster
| Heal 60 | 2 TCD | 80 SP |
Drawing upon restorative data from the network's self-maintenance processes, Terra patches up a moderate amount of damage from any target she chooses.

Terraskill (Archiver): Persistence of Will (3 Instances)
| 30 HP Planar Barrier + 30 HP Planar Casing + 1-Hit Planar Shield | 2 TCD | 240 SP |
Forcefully assimilating Carbide's abilities into herself, Terra grows out a protective blue-grey rocky carapace from her body. The main source of this growth is a single spire that extends out from her back between her shoulder blades, which also projects an invisible energy barrier around her.

Terraskill (Archiver): Vigilance of Will (4 Instances)
| Haste 2 + Dodge | 3 TCD | 480 SP |
A unique aspect of Terra's senses is that she is able to patch herself into the network's ground-based data lines to parse the network's unending datastreams as sensory data, in addition to her normal senses. Since her venture into a Zero-Access Low-Level Area, this ability has expanded greatly, granting her uncanny evasion abilities.

Being momentarily distracted by the Metool's hijinks didn't stop Juno from dealing with the last of the still-hostile viruses, as Luna sent in some assistance to help deal with the Swordy. As the Cannon was leveled at the knight, the Swordy also got itself ready to deliver a strike to her. Her projectile fired just as the blade was swung, and she managed to duck back into her craft just in time to avoid it. Unfortunately, that also meant that the Cannon went off course, but that was remedied with a supplementary laser or two right after, destroying the errant knight. Behind them, the Metool seemed to be hauling away pretty quickly, so it seems like they were done for the moment. The Mystery Data crystal spun in place, though decrypting it would take time if Juno also wanted to catch up to the fleeing Metool.

The RapidFire's response to Jazz's quip was a burst of flame from its gun barrel, which barely passed by him as he swiped out with his sword. Unfortunately, its nimble movements were amplified by the icy terrain, and it slid out of his range. The flames cracked the ice beneath his feet, but Jazz was undeterred, bringing a shield to bear in front of him for protection. Soon, he dashed in with renewed fervor and dealt a trio of attacks to the robot. The overwhelming number of attacks was too much for the virus's processing. A lapse in its movement allowed Jazz to finally destroy its aura, and then stab it directly through the chest, finally dispatching it.

With the frosty ice locking up the RapidFire's attacks for the moment, it launched itself onto the icy lake, trying to make itself scarce. Jazz, in the meantime, kept up the onslaught of attacks, while the summoned ice dragon's attacks swooped back in and sheared off the Bluegon's head entirely, while the Swordy had its sword arm sliced off. This left the crippled RapidFire to fend for itself, as Jazz restored his fighting strength (+90) and swept in with a wide-barreled BubbleSpreader-powered shotgun. Unfortunately, his hard water shot barely swept past the RapidFire's head, but he was undeterred, and swung his sword valiantly against the very slippery virus. The heat mirages from the FireAura and the ice's slippery surface allowed the virus to barely evade one of his strikes. Then, the next sword slash clashed against the aura and broke through--only for the fire to renew itself with vigor, melting off the frost that had accumulated in the RapidFire's joints. The virus wasted no time in pointing its barrel directly at Jazz's face, ready to fire in a last man's stand.

Wandering into the commercial area complex through one of the many entrances, Terra paused to look about at all of the different holo-displays that advertised various upgrade products. Most of them only caught a glance from her, but she stopped at one in particular, and looked down at her gloved hands, clenching and unclenching it. She then nodded to herself, and hailed down one of the shop's attendants. "Excuse me, I'd like to buy four of those upgrades," she said, pointing to the holo-display that she had been looking at.

Buying:
- PowerUP (Charge) x4 (v5, v6, v7, v8) (5000 + 6000 + 7000 + 8000 = 26000z)
Zenny Change: 26675 - 26000 = 675z

Terra smiled slightly as she retrieved the sack of zenny, and nodded to leave into a different network transfer.
