    Retrieving Homework
    Verdant logged into the ACDC network, the grass and vine behemoth glancing around at the area around him. As he stood, around where his feet were, grasses began to briefly grow beneath him, but seemed transient, as if it were to fade away as soon as he took a step. And that was very likely.

    Verdant.exe: Tracking the files retrieved from "Iris' Cool Laptop"... Tracking the files retrieved fr-
    ...
    ...
    Verdant.exe: Files located. Beginning retrieval.


    Verdant began to shamble forward then, his footsteps thudding loudly on the ground as he came forward, tracking whatever program, or virus, had broken into Iris' laptop and taken her files.

    "Verdant make sure not to damage my test! I worked really hard on that!"

    Verdant.exe: Affirmative.

    "Where is it where is it where is it..."

    The sound of rapid mouse clicking and keyboard clacking was the only answer as the girl sat in front of her laptop at her desk, her hand moving constantly over it. "What the heck. I know I saved this...dang it," the girl said with a small sound of discontent. She slumped back in her check, before her eyes widened. "Verdant!" she called, heading back over to her purse, beginning to rifle through it.

    Verdant.exe: What can I do for you?

    The text-to-speech feature of the PET was something that had to be implemented, but the problem was that Verdant himself had no real speech function, which led to it coming across as something akin to robotic and strange. Even then, Verdant wouldn't use it unless it was just Iris around. Otherwise, he'd communicate with her simply via text.

    "Hey can you look through my laptop and see if you can find that take home test? I saved it on my laptop but it's not where I put it and I am freaking out." The girl seemed to be quite near hysterics at the moment.

    Verdant.exe: I see. Connect me and I will look.

    Iris nodded emphatically a few times before connecting the PET to her laptop, seeing if he could figure out what happened to it.

    Verdant.exe: It seems it was moved. Have you updated your firewall?

    Iris paused. "I think so? Someone here gave me a provisional license for a firewall for the college."

    Verdant.exe: It seems that was faulty software. Many of your files were taken to ACDC.

    Iris sat up a little straighter. "Wait. What? What?. Are you freaking kidding me?"

    Verdant.exe: I am not freaking kidding you. Shall I retrieve them?

    "Uhhhh yeah! Verdant.exe, transmit! Let's get back my homework!"

    RE: EyeCDC...just forget it
    As per usual, Vigil's attacks had gone off without a hitch. Her bomb had not only decimated the two behind her, but additionally, had managed to snag the other Powie as well who had thought to attack her. What a foolish creature. Her plan had succeeded better than she could have hoped, and the shotgunfire was about to pretty much end this little duel of hers with these viruses, and she almost felt bad for picking on them like she was.

    Of course, then her hubris caught up with her. She had been dedicating far too much of her Sight on her opponents and none on the terrain itself, causing a misstep as her foot stepped onto some Cracked panels, and that caused her whole plan to fall apart. As soon as her balance started to fail, the woman had still attempted for her shotgun, hoping that she'd have enough aim to manage it...but she did not. With only a single eye about, she didn't have the efficacy to put together something that would end this battle.

    INstead, she tripped, her shot went awry, and then she found herself being surrounded by electrical attacks from the Bunny, and then the slight seize of her body from that ring caused the Powie to land a hit, dropping her down a bit into the now-broken panels.

    Beneath, the woman exhaled slowly. "Alexander, why did I make that mistake?"

    "Arrogance, probably. It happens. Here, I'll give you what you need to finish this, here and now."

    She couldn't help a smirk cross her face as her NetOP saw through the situation with relative ease. Perhaps she should listen to him more, instead of going off on her own to do her own thing. "Very well. I see what we're doing here. I'll be done in a moment, my dear~" the woman called out, though despite the happy words, there was a certain edge of her own frustrations as she spoke them.

    Nonetheless, Vigil glanced upward, seeing the Powie still floating above where she was. She gave a small smirk then as she connected back to her Spying Eye, getting a feel for the battleground before she activated the AreaGrab chip. As she did, the woman simply dissolved into the same inky blackness that she often did, sinking down into the ground. Back above, on the Normal Panels, Vigil's darkness shot up from the ground, forming into a version of her, grinning wickedly as the FireBurner chip was set into her Eye, causing the iris to flare red as the flames poured out of it, aiming to incinerate them both.

    As she did so, she felt a familiar touch as she utilized one of Asymptote's gifted Chips to her, and for a moment, she could feel the presence of her friend, before it was gone, her body revitalized even as she readied the final chip...only to feel her body stiffen slightly, locking up. "Alexander," she called, sounding a bit vexed.

    "I didn't factor in the residual Stun. I guess we're both at fault," he spoke clearly, and Vigil grunted. She felt better, but she didn't quite have the power she'd needed to finish off them both...presuming that her unexpected assault had succeeded.

    RE: EyeCDC...just forget it
    Ah...it was good to be back here, even if she had only been gone for but a moment. She didn't have the ability, of course, to simply eliminate all of these in a single attack, but at the same time, she did feel excitement at seeing so many here all at once. The very idea of it was exciting and alluring to her, being able to enter into combat with so many adversaries at the same time. A faint giggle elicited from her lips as she surveyed the area, able to see the vague shapes from those surrounding her, before the woman gave a small sound of excitement.

    "I think it is time to play, my dears..." she spoke, the woman's body readying itself for combat. Her initial though twas to simply hurl the Lilbomb out into the arena, decimating the group that had all gathered around the Mystery Data...but perhaps she should keep that safe for herself? It was a difficult thing to consider, but she supposed that, for the moment, she would simply avoid destroying it if she didn't have to. But if worse came to worse, she would absolutely sacrifice it for herself.

    But from her time with Asymptote, she knew just how annoying the Bunnies could be. There were a number of problems to solve and not all that much time to solve them. First and foremost, she would need to see, and then from there, she'd determine her best course of action. Extending her hand out to the right, her data formed into a glowing sphere at first before it consolidated down into what looked like a closed eye...before it opened widely, blinking twice before looking at its mistress and giving a small nod, beginning to grow as it made its way over to the right side of the arena, looking in on everything.

    As soon as she had the extra sight in place, the woman spun, rising her hands up into the air as she did so, fading into the inky darkness as she fell into the pupil of the eye beneath her. As she did so, a slash appeared on the ground to roughly ten o'clock from her position, if the Mystery Data were the twelve o'clock mark. The cut in the ground opened as another eye symbol, and she simply rose up out of it then, twirling once more to let her dress flare a bit as her ally on the right analyzed the battle layout. As she came up, it was clear that she was holding something, and the reasons for the spinning became obvious as she turned, hurling an eye with what looked like an LED timer for an iris that slowly counted down as it arced through the air, aiming to land behind the Melody and the NeoMetool in an attempt to extinguish them both, analyzed for the exact spot to aim by her seeing eye on the right.

    And then her hand extended, the eye appearing in her palm as she downloaded the shotgun chip data from Alexander, the man working in tandem with her without needing to really communicate, seeing where she was going and knowing what she would need. In that, the pupil formed a figure eight, and Alexander watched as the female navi unleashed a blast of hailfire directly at the PowieB, and the Bunny behind it at the angle she'd arrived at. "Battle Routine, set. Execute," the woman whispered with a fanged grin as the energy burst out at the two viruses, hopefully missing the mystery data.

    Verdant.exe
    Name: Verdant
    Gender: N/A (Male Pronouns)
    Element: Wood
    Subtype: Guts
    Appearance: A shambling mass of leaves and vines, Verdant is a monstrous navi with a frightening appearance. While he generally has four stocky limbs, there is also a good chance that he might have more than this, or sometimes less, depending on his terrain. While he doesn't have anything that would resemble eyes, he can still see rather easily, picking up on the area around him. A crown of mushrooms adorn his head and what seems to be jagged pieces of wood make up the monstrous maw. Despite his mouth, however, Verdant doesn't appear to be able to speak. The various parts of vines and leaves upon Verdant are often moving, always seeking out light sources, and due to that, his footsteps tend to leave behind a rather odd pattern, given that very rarely are two steps from him exactly the same.

    Personality: Despite his large size, Verdant isn't exactly violent, and can often be seen simply standing amidst nature. Very often just standing and admiring them. He possesses no capacity for speech, and instead different fragrances tend to flow off of him depending on his mood (sweet for happy, bitter for angry, etc) as his primary form of communication. He can additionally communicate through text, but seems to only do so with Iris.

    He does seem to have a preference for turning non-forested areas into such, however, which can often put him at odds with those who wish to keep it the way it is. He's been escorted out of a few establishments for growing shrubberies within a building.

    Custom Weapon: The long vines snap out from Verdant near-instantly, striking his targets from afar.

    Signature Attack(s):

    Iris Raine
    Name: Iris Raine

    Age: 19

    Gender: Female

    Appearance: The first thing that one often notices with Iris is just how happy she seems to be. A smile often adorns her face, and the blue eyes, the same as her mother's, seem to almost dance when that happiness rolls through her. Her dark hair is somewhat long, coming to her her mid-back, though she very rarely does much with it, letting it flow freely. On rare occasion, she has a blue ribbon that her mother used to wear in her hair, which she will use to tie it.

    Her body itself is rather firm and athletic, built from years of swimming. Like her mother, she lacks curves, for the most part, with only a small swell of her breast and slight hips. Still, that doesn't stop her from her femininity. A sundress, though black, rests on her shoulders and comes down, tightening a bit at her waist before flaring out, the fabric ending at her knees. The skirt itself holds a laced bottom, giving her an almost gothic sort of outfit.

    However, her hands, up to her elbows, and feet, up to her knees, are covered by gloves and boots of a bright blue, mostly to offset the black. In addition, a sash of similar color adorns her waist, tied into a small bow at her back.

    Personality: Enthusiastic and cheerful, she acts much like how she did in her early teenage years, being full of energy and excitable, if not a little flirty at times as well. She finds that life is far too short to keep herself hidden away and has decided to just go for everything that's out there, alongside Verdant, who is mostly her constant companion.

    Originally her father's, who works for a company that does what amounts to landscaping on the Net, they were eventually given newer models. Verdant (who had then simply been known as V-304) was 'rescued' by Iris and installed onto her PET. Lacking the understanding of technical know-how to make him less monstrous, she instead very much enjoys the beast, finding his silence comforting.

    PET Modifications: Very basic, with only a few stickers placed along the outside.

    EyeCDC...just forget it
    ((Coming from here))

    In the network, a line began to draw itself across the flooring. Roughly a meter in length, the line came to a halt upon reaching its maximum size. And then, with a sudden and almost violent motion, the line split, forming the eyelids of a singular eye symbol, opening up wide upon the ground. The pupil began to shift and bubble, and before long, from the inky darkness rose a singular form. It rose to the full height of the woman that was known as Vigil, the Mistress of Eyes.

    Or at least, that's what she'd like to be known as. Her fingers drew up her entire form, starting at her hips, up over her abdomen and then breasts before rising up into the air in an approximation of a stretch. "What fun...I haven't been able to delete a virus since yesterday," the woman cooed, before glancing back behind her, despite not being able to See. "Alexander dear, are you there?"

    "I'm here. Sorry, Travis sent me an email."

    "One that I don't get to read? For shame, keeping secrets. What a naughty boy you are. I can punish you later, if you'd like."

    "Stop. It's not anything important, really. I'll fill you in as we go. Let's see what we can find."

    "Haha, very well. I believe that bounty is still active as well...I wonder if we can find some NeoMetools to shred. I do like being rewarded for my work, after all," Vigil cackled, sashaying her hips as she made her way forward further into the Net.

    --

    Outside, Alexander frowned as he read the email for perhaps the fifth time.

    Hey dude,

    After seeing how Vigil was doing with that Asymptote guy and being all weird like she was, I figure I should probably tell you that I didn't make her. A hacker friend of mine from the Undernet owed me a favor and...that's kinda where she came from. I don't know all the weird shit that she's got in her, and I don't even know where she's from. You might wanna check that out at some point to get more info.

    Trav


    Alexander exhaled, rubbing his hand over his face. The Undernet wasn't exactly an easy place to get to...he'd need to start pushing Vigil harder. Because he was curious. Now he just needed to find a way there.

    A New Day, a New Network
    Alexander yawned as he woke up, the boy looking less-than-enthused about being awake at the current moment. Seeming to remember something, he reached over to his desk, fishing around on the top of it for a moment before a thermos greeted his hand. With a small sound of what sounded like thanks to some otherworldly power, he undid the top and began to let the coffee splash down his throat.

    -

    A full thermos of coffee later, the boy felt wired and ready to go. "Vigil. You awake?"

    "Awake and ready to go, darling, the woman's voice came up from the device, and Alexander nodded.

    "How are the new upgrades treating you. You get any chance to destroy some viruses last night?"

    There was a sound from the PET that sounded like a huff of dissatisfaction. "Of course not. You would expect me to battle without my NetOP? For shame, Alexander. For shame."

    Alexander exhaled, pinching the bridge of his nose. Thankfully, it was a weekend, and as such, he needn't really worry about doing too much at the moment. He'd have homework to do later, but that was later. Right now, he needed to make sure what Vigil had installed in her was going to work. "Fine, fine. I'll take you on a test drive. Probably nothing too dangerous, in case things don't quite work out."

    "Are you taking me to the phone system again?" The woman's voice sounded a little...bored, at that. He supposed that made sense, really. The last time that they'd been there nothing of any real excitement had happened. "I would much prefer to bust viruses with Asymptote, you know."

    "I asked Joseph earlier, and they're busy on some kind of expedition. He said he'd pass me the details later on. Anyway, no. But I'd rather not get into anything too rough, so we're going to stick to ACDC." He moved the PET to plug into his computer, then, and Vigil gave a small laugh.

    "I see, I see. I suppose that would be doable, yes. I'd be interested to see what happens there."

    "Good. All right, Vigil. Jack in. Head to the ACDC Net."

    As Vigil spoke, giving some lewd comment that Alexander cut off immediately, he paused as he noted an email to his private server, one that Vigil didn't have access to. The mail client had left the mail just outside and Alexander had the mail programs within retrieve it. It was from Travis and it was entitled 'So about Vigil...' He frowned...he didn't like this.

    Alexander nodded to the man, stifling a slight yawn as the man got the merchandise as requested. The boy paid for the items, noting that he still had some Zeni left over. "Let's grab a coffee on the way back home," he commented quietly, trying not to yawn again before thanking Suitachi and then making his way out.

He possesses no capacity for speech, and instead different fragrances tend to flow off of him depending on his mood (sweet for happy, bitter for angry, etc) as his primary form of communication. He can additionally communicate through text, but seems to only do so with Iris.

    He does seem to have a preference for turning non-forested areas into such, however, which can often put him at odds with those who wish to keep it the way it is. He's been escorted out of a few establishments for growing shrubberies within a building.

    Custom Weapon: The long vines snap out from Verdant near-instantly, striking his targets from afar.

    Signature Attack(s):

    Name: Lifesteal
    Description: Natural energies gather in one of Verdant's vines as he lashes it outward, the resulting connection sapping his enemy's strength!

    RE: Inside the shop
    (( Coming in from here ))

    Alexander yawned as he entered. A long night of fighting and bursting had left him a little tired, but at the time he figured he might as well see what was out there for upgrades on Vigil.

    As he took a look at the list, he scratched his jawline for a moment, before nodding to himself.

    "Could I pick up a Speed Upgrade? And then... I'll grab four process upgrades, as well please."

    LIST:
    5000z - Speed Upgrade
    1400z - Process Upgrades (4)
    _____
    Remaining Z: 620z

    RE: School is so boring...
    (( Coming in from here))

    Alexander gave a small sound as he stretched, his arms up high over his head. "I think that was beneficial. You got a lot of information and data on battling."

    "While true, it is getting late, my dear Alexander. When shall you sleep?"

    "She's right. I should probably jet," Travis spoke, waving to Alexander before the boy began to head out, leaving the two alone for a moment.

    "I suppose I should take you to get some upgrades."

    "You're always spending money on me so frivolously. I can't say I don't appreciate it, though~".

    Alexander sighed, heading out to take the train to the shop.

    RE: Visions of Monsters
    She smirked at his response, feeling the pressure of the other larger navi's mouth against her own body for a moment. There was that slight momentary sense of loneliness, but as she took the chips from him, she felt that familiar pulse from him then. She nodded as he spoke then, the woman elegantly coming to take a step back away from the brute as she let the chip data cycle around her arm for a moment before storing it away in the folder, nodding at the other. "Very well, my dear Asymptote. I hope that we do meet again in the future. It was a wonderful time to spend with you. I do hope that we get some more time to spend together in the future," she called, waggling her fingers at him in a wave as she watched the large navi begin to depart.

    He gave her one last bit of advice then, and the woman leaned back, giving a throaty laugh. "Running...is not how I do things, my dear," she spoke, and for effect, activated the RageClaw chip that he had given her, the woman's fingertips extending out into long, dagger-like appendagers. "But I will keep this advice in mind," she spoke, smirking slightly.

    --

    On the outside, Alexander blinked as the email arrived. He opened it, and arched a single brow. He glanced over at Travis, who shrugged in response. "Hey man. You said you wanted something designed for combat. You got a problem with how she works?"

    "Not that part, no. But I suppose I should take that into consideration. I imagine that he's been going against Viruses a bit longer than myself."

    Travis shrugged again. "You do you, dude.

    "Vigil. Let's go, we're jacking out."

    "Hmmm? Jacking o-"

    "Stop."

    RE: Visions of Monsters
    Vigil couldn't help but to let a small smile spread across her features as she felt the man's warmth enshrouding her. It was like a familiar cloak, like a blanket from ages past. As that warmth wrapped around her, while it made her smile, it also opened up a sense of loneliness. This wasn't something where she had a definite answer to this eventually lonely life that she would lead. Alexander was the only one that she'd have by her side...and she couldn't touch him like she could the large Navi with her now. It wasn't the same. It wouldn't be the same.

    However, before she had the chance to fall too deeply into her negative thoughts, she saw Asymptote extend his hand toward her. Four chips danced on his hand, and as she saw this, the four eyes around the edges of the arena widened at this. A part of Asymptote? She supposed that was correct. While chip data was standardized, even still, there was a sentimental value in receiving the chips from another. They carried traces of data from who they came from. Or so said a post on the BBS. She didn't know how true it was...but she liked to think it that it was true.

    "Thank you, Asymptote. Truly. I will keep these with me. You will be a part of me, Asymptote. I only wish that I could offer the same to you. With your abilities...I could offer to you this Thunder1 chip..." she spoke, running her finger tips along one of his oversized biceps. "Or was that kiss enough for you, hm?" she asked, a smirk on her face as she watched him.

    RE: Visions of Monsters
    As the woman's attack was successful, gripping the opponent tightly and keeping the bouncing and jiving cactus from moving any further, she and her ally unloaded on it, working to fully eliminate it from everything. A wide grin spread across her features then, stretching across the entire length of her face, far more than even a glasgow smile would go. Perfect.

    It began to disintegrate then, slowly and surely, and eventually Vigil found herself looking at the chip that had been hand-delivered from the creature, holding onto a note as well that seemed to be from the creature itself. At the words that were there, the wicked inhuman smile reversed into a frown immediately as she crushed the note in one of her overly large hands.

    Before she could comment further, she saw Asymptote come to take a seat on the ground, presumably having figured this fight over. Her arm tightened around the note further, before she let out a long, ragged sigh. Inhaling deeply, the woman allowed Asymptote's electrical energy to leave her, then, the amazoness form fading away.

    Her arms and legs reverted to a more normal size, her fingers doing the same as her bust began to swell outward again, the woman forming once more into her usual form. "You did very well, Asymptote. I have no doubt that I would not have been able to handle this network without your very gracious assistance," she spoke as she moved, sashaying toward him, the eyes in the corners of the arena turning to look his way as well.

    "Certainly with this money we've earned, Alexander can no doubt afford some additional upgrades here for me...and that may allow me a bit more versatility in how I do battle," she cooed, before she leaned down, with Asymptote still being taller than she, even while he sat. She pressed a kiss onto his jawline then, before the woman smirked as she leaned back. "I look forward to the day when we may partner again...perhaps even more closely next time, hm?" she asked, before giving an amused smile at him.

    RE: Visions of Monsters
    Vigil's own excitement and the lust for battle had been amplified by the Asymptote Cross, and the woman gave a small sound in the back of her throat. It was pleased, at the compliments that Asymptote had paid her. "Perhaps if you are suitably exciting as a partner, I can see about giving you a more...thorough examination of this form..." the woman purred, much like a cat, before she had turned, firing her cannon at the dancing cactus that she was ready to just rush forward against and tear it apart with her bare hands, if she could.

    Her shot had missed.

    The woman gave a low, growling sound in the back of her throat. The growling gained a strange, clicking sound as it continued, like some sort of crocodile or some other lizard-like beast. She hated missing. It made her feel as if she hadn't had a chance to fully unleash her abilities upon her opponent. In her normal form, she might have been suitably miffed. Right now, however, it was an all-consuming rage. "EEEEAAAAAAAAAA!" the woman shrieked, before she could feel the energy flowing off of her in waves of heat, like vents installed directly into her body.

    She gave another small shriek, even as she felt Asymptote's now-calmer extension of her persona weighing back on her. It was a nice, calming presence that in a normal battle, when she wasn't currently switched to Asymptote's energies, she might have found it more helpful. But right now, the calming presence that told her how and where to aim her attacks felt like it was just another annoying fly, buzzing in her ear. The woman, tall, and spindly, felt her fingers extend outward, and the dangerous, claw-like fingertips that were present on each of the long digits clawed at the air between her and the cactus.

    She was going to need to get close to it in order to harm it, she knew that. It didn't particularly intimidate her, but the swaying and movements were obnoxious. Normally, the eye beneath Vigil would serve as her transportation...but not now. Instead, the four eyes surrounding the battlefield focused in on the creature that was before them, allowing her vision far beyond what would normally be reachable by a Navi. She saw the creature in four dimensions and she knew exactly how it would move and how it could attack her...and how she would decimate it.

    The woman leaned forward for just a half second, and then she was gone, her body sprinting across the panels as she approached the cactus, shrieking as she did so, her fingers becoming larger and more wicked as she aimed to clamp down around the cactus, simply pinning it in place before she lifted her left hand, not even bothering to wait for her hand to come off before the shotgun formed on the stump of her left wrist and she let another grin split her face. "Die, CRETIN!" the woman raged as she fired her attack at point-blank.

    -

    Outside, Alexander tilted his head to the side slightly as he watched the goings-on. "Vigil are you doing all right?" he asked simply, earning a screeching, spastic laughter from the other side, one drenched in bloodlust and hunger. He paused, glancing to Travis. "So is this normal?"

    "Yeah man. Well. That's not. But taking on traits of allies is totally normal. She's fine. She's just a little nutty right now."

    Alexander frowned, looking back to the PET.

    -

    Within, she looked over to Asymptote then. "KILL IT FOR ME. SPREAD ITS INSIDES ACROSS THIS PIT. I WANT TO WATCH IT DIE." The woman was more than a little...gone at the moment, but she didn't seem at all to notice as she continued to just unleash her own excitement unto the whole field around her, regardless of who or what heard her.

    RE: Visions of Monsters
    This creature was slowly being whittled down, and Vigil knew that there was enough going on here that she and Asymptote could win...at least she hoped so. It was still throwing out a number of dangerous attacks, but with everything that they were doing, so far they were managing to keep from taking too much damage. She was tempted to see if Alexander had any ideas to offer her, but at the moment, she wanted to be the one to run this. Certainly Alexander could give her ideas...but she wanted to take this all the way to the end of the line on her own. If she needed to rely on him for anything aside from the chips then that was something that would make her feel...inept.

    Instead, she relied on her own judgment here as she moved, wanting to keep her own offense moving. She just wished she could move more quickly than she could at the moment. But right now, she had her own small army and was very nearly at a point where she would have perfect vision of the battlefield. Snapping her arm outward, she let an eye manifest on her left hand, letting it roll down onto the ouside of the arena, beginning to head out to where it was going to settle in, and from that, allow her to finally have the perfect vision for the battlefield.

    As it settled in, Vigil could feel the perfection of her Sight now starting to fall togther. Getting four of them together was the maximum for her vision and right now, that was something that had occurred. She could see it moving in all directions now, could tell just how from any dance and shift what it was going to do. She felt herself growing more and more ready by the moment, and as she turned her main gaze to Asymptote, she could feel her connection with her ally growing a bit stronger for the moment. She exhaled, breathing out as she focused on the lingering data that she had in her body from her ally.

    An arc of electricity came from her then as the current roared outward, she gave a small sound before her dress began to tear, the material starting to fall apart as her legs started to be revealed, the long, supple skin slowly making itself visible as the dress itself was torn into pieces, the data scattering out to the winds before the remnants of the dress began to fall even further apart, before the upper portion began to tear along with the gloves as her fingers tore through the data, long, spindly limbs as she grew in height, her hair starting to spin together to look like long, broken power cables.

    But she didn't stop there.

    Giving a shout of power, the electrical energies intensified, and the remaining dress continued to fall away, leaving her lower (and upper) body mostly barren as the eyes that followed here suddenly found other electrical cables tied to them...and in a single frame of movement, nearly two-dozen eyes opened all over her body, looking in all different directions. The eyes themselves were wide, with the irises looking to be peppermint stripes of white and green as a wicked grin spread across her features. "I think that it's time for something a bit more fun..!" she called out as she moved, pivoting like a dancer, a pirouette upon one of her her long, sinuous legs before she extended a hand, the woman's body itself shifting into the cannon as the electrical energies began to thud through her, taking the residual energies that were gathered within her from her shield as a wide grin spread across her face. "Bang."

    RE: Visions of Monsters
    The creature had a resiliency that Vigil hadn't expected. Truth be told, she wasn't entirely sure what she had expected during this fight, but it seemed like everything that she was used to, was geting turned onto its head. There was nothing that she could do that wasn't currently being stopped or overturned by this little dancing Cactus. It was infuriating on so many levels. The woman had been blessed thus far with mostly easy victories and as such, she might have gotten a little bit spoiled as well, and that caused her frustration on a level that she wasn't quite sure how to vocalize.

    Despite her nonstandard methods of Seeing, the fact remained that her vision was still clouded to a point where she could barely keep track of what was where. The lack of haptic feedback let her know that her attack hadn't hit, but hopefully on the return trip it would, as how that particular attack seemed to work. Still, all things considered, the situation was frustrating, though Asymptote seemed to be making some headway with his newly equipped fangs.

    She frowned, the angry scowl crossing over her features for a moment before she made a gesture with one of her hands, creating yet another eye as she sent it up to the far upper right corner of this field to look down through everything here as well. She would need to be able to see exactly what was going on in order to make a decision on her next steps...but of course, the woman's main source of vision was still diluted.

    It was at that point that Asymptote announced that he had a plan and the woman gave the man a winning smile. "I do hope it is better than the plans I have come up with," the woman spoke. Most of them were to simply tear apart the CactoLimbo with her bare hands but she knew fully well that such wasn't going to happen. Whatever it was, it had more than enough longevity to deal with them both. She just needed to know what she could do to help, here.

    However, whatever the plan was that Asymptote had, it was mostly just keeping herself protected, it seemed like. The woman gave a small sound of discontent then. She would need to wait before she unloaded her attacks upon this creature, it seemed. With a small sigh, she exhaled. "I do very much look forward to what you can do!" she called out, before she began to prepare herself for the oncoming attacks from the cactus-like creature.

    After she shifted a bit to the side, she began to allow her three eyes around the arena to widen, beginning to take in more and more information, allowing her to do what would be needed, should it occur, to deflect yet another attack. It would only work for one, and as such, she would need to make sure that it counted. As they began to pull in that information, she darted again to the side, trying to play keep away from the CactoLimbo, not wanting to let the attacks come at her unprepared.

    Lastly, she extended her hand, an eye manifesting itself in her palm before it opened wide, the pupil dilating suddenly and heavily as a burst of energy emerged, heading right for the same target as her Thunder Chip as it came back around, trying to connect both blows and create a pincer attack that would hopefully keep the creature from being able to dodge this attack as well!
