Hi there,

Me and my navi also want to help out those in need. I know that it's no big deal, but in times of need this chip could be quite handy. But always be careful about the knockback and don't get hurt! Take care!

- Tim & Enchanter

ATTACHMENT: Cannon BattleChip data

(( Thanks for the note. I thought that because they were both flying and I wanted to hit both of them it would reduce my accuracy from A. ))

In the navi-operator duo, Tim was the one thinking rationally right now, and well, it was kind of the operators job to give orders so he analyzed the situation doing his best. He noticed the direness of the situation quickly, namely that Enchanter didn't have enough firepower to deal with the viruses, and because of that, they must depend on Raider mostly. Well at least he had an idea how to brighten up the situation a little bit, it was simple and it really helped only a little bit, but right now it was the best move that he could think of.

- Enchanter, try to attack the UFO and anchor him down with this. - gave the order Tim, while he slotted in the heatshot chip. Basically the "grand" plan was anchoring down the RedUFO, this way stopping the meaningless chip loss, which could be fatal on the long term.

Thanks to the miraculously misdirected attack of the energyball virus, the fire navi could continue his attacks, with only a momentary break. The symbols were glowing with a faint red light, like in every battle, as the data from the battlechip ran through him. Flames flowed out from the tip of his fingers and begun to dance in the air. In a few moments, they merged and become an orb of blazing fire.
After aiming for a short while, Enchanter sent the orb flying towards the RedUFO, hiding the data of the anchor in the flames. It left a red line behind as it flew trough the sky like a comet, and from its course it was obvious that the magician navi tried to aim so that the explosion born from the impact would reach the fishy too.

After the shot a fast calculation ran through Enchanters head, counting his remaining chips and possibilities. Unexpectedly, he reached an opposite conclusion to Tim's.
- Tim, send me a rageclaw and have a comfortable seat for the show. - said the navi with an evil grin on his face.
- What are you talking about, we've still got a cannon and a melee chip in this ... - started Tim, but Enchanter cut in.
- Don't give me this, "his in the air and you're on the ground" rubbish. Just send me the chip and watch. I know that you understand what I'm going to do as a CyberSpider fan. - said the fire navi.
His operator's facial expression froze for a moment as he finally understood what's going to happen, thanks to the hint. After he came back to his senses from the momentary "shock" his voice was hasty.
- Dave, leave the FighterPlane for us and concentrate on the others. Caerbannog, give a lift to Enchanter and watch out for yourself. Enchanter I hope you know that it's a stupid idea... - said Tim. - But it's your stupid idea so we're going with it. - added in a muttering voice as he slotted in the rageclaw.

The knight support program took a step backwards, creating a little more space before he dashed forward and jumped to another cloth closer to Enchanter. After landing he crouched to stabilize the waving of the Sky-Blue Dress, which he landed on. He lifted his right arm with the shield in front of himself, in a way so the shield would be horizontal. He placed his left hand under it so he could use the strength of both of his arms.
He only needed to wait for a moment for the arrival of Enchanter. The navi stepped on the shield and then his support program stood up, giving him a lift using the power of his whole body. The outcome was a giant leap and with that the fire navi was approaching the plane virus from above. While he was in mid air three blades of steel come out from his right glove, with hooked ends, perfectly suitable for grabbing things. His plan was to land on the fighterplane, stepping on the two wings and grab the body of the plane with the rageclaw. He had seen a picture about someone doing it before, the arch-enemy of the CyberSpider. He was called the Green Kobold. Enchanter wasn't sure that the plane would really be able to fly still after arriving on the top of it, but if it works he could move the virus with his legs and right arm. And most importantly, where could he be further away from the water, than in the air?

- Summary -

Enchanter.EXE:
1. Heatshot ( 45 + spread1 ) RedUFO (anchor) & Fishy
2. Jump
3. Grab FighterPlane with Rageclaw1 ( hijack and 20 ??? )

Caerbannog.SP:
1. move and give a lift to Enchanter

(( Take this! With my ultimate drawing technic I created the perfect map. ))

- Well, that's just great! I prayed so hard that it won't look like this and what do I get? We're riding on DIRTY clothes and everywhere I look I see WATER, oh and I almost forgot that we're surrounded by viruses and they're freaking CHEATING, not even touching the clothes! - burst out Enchanter as soon as he arrived and looked around. He breathed a little bit heavy. He had a feeling similar to claustrophobia, but a lot weaker, invoked by the tons of water surrounding the blue t-shirt, which he was standing on. Everything going around didn't help either. There were four things that helped him staying focused. First, at least he was standing on something close to solid, second, he saw other solid objects which looked like good footholds, third, in the middle of the whirlpool there was a place standing firmly, the agitator. Well as for the fourth one...
- Calm down, right NOW! - snapped Tim seeing how confused his navi became. - If you finish off these virii then you can leave right away, so the faster you do,the sooner you get out. - That was the fourth one, deleting the viruses was the ticket of leaving this place.

A sly smile appeared on Enchanters face as he begun to activate the battle mode. The air around him vibrated and made his contour slightly blur, because of the heat generated by his body. The water drops splashed at him evaporated almost instantly and rose up as steam. The symbols on the gloves begun to glow whit red light like always, showing to the ignorant enemy that he didn't choose wisely who to mess with. The heat made the air around him move and as it did it made the black rugged robe swish. The thin black threads of the fire navi's hair rippled in the air and his yellow eyes were the exact same as a predators, shinning confidently before a hunt. He was ready for the fight.

[Enchanter.EXE Battle Mode On]

- Now, that's what I'm talking about. First of all, we need to take care of as many enemies as we can. To maximize the power of the Shotgun chip there are only two options, and I prefer the one with the Elebee-s. - said Tim.
- Anything is good for me, just slot the chips. - answered Enchanter a little bit urgently.
- Don't forget to aim carefully, 'cause they look really nimble. - gave a last advice Timothy, not knowing if it was worth the breath or not, and slotted the first chip, a Shotgun.

The data arrived at the speed of light, after the chip was slotted, and begun to merge with a pack of data, coming from the fire navi, which contained all of the information needed to determine its appearance, its direction and everything what's a must. Like the last times they took on the pointy shards look, but the magician navi didn't stop the information stream, yet. He calculated, changed the course of the trajectory and even made little changes on the crystal-like floating weapons, like making a few of them slimmer or giving them a curve if needed. It didn't take longer than a second, but with this he specially modified them for this occasion. He even hid a last trick in the attack, namely the ground navi's specialty, the anchor. He wanted to take away the ability to fly from one of them and hoped that, if he's lucky enough, the virus could even fall into the water. He wanted to hurry up, but even in this state he knew perfectly that shooting aimlessly is not a wise thing to do. For a moment the light coming from his gloves became brighter and all of the shards shoot out immediately aiming at the two Elebee. As they were flying towards the viruses Tim just nodded appreciatively, seeing that he didn't need to worry about his navi, by the looks of it. The next chip was already in his hand and he slotted it with ease, a Shotgun once again.
Everything happened again, like it was replayed from a video tape. The only difference was that this time he didn't need even a second to program the attack, because he already had the calculations. The smile widened into a grin as Enchanter watched the second wave flying behind the first one only by inches.

The knight SP meanwhile looked at his sword and the enemy repeatedly and didn't really have a single idea how to even scratch them. In normal terms it was easy to get close, you just take a few steps or run a short distance, but it's not so easy if where you should go is in the air. Like a good operator Tim noticed the trouble of the support program and helped him with an advice.
- If you can't get them, just dodge their attacks. This way you gain time and maybe there will be an opportunity when they left they guard down in the future. - said Tim.
The eyes of the puzzled Caerbannog had a darker dye, so much that one would even call it gray, but now they shone up and returned to their normal white color. He made a small gesture, which involved a thumbs up, to show that he understood and look around for the closest cloth. His senses sharpened as he was waiting for an enemy attack. He had a simple plan, when the enemy attacks he jumps to an another cloth, this way he won't get hit. The basic of dodging is not being where the enemy attacks...

- Summary -

Enchanter.EXE:
1. Aim
2. Shotgun ( 50 + spread1 ) Elebee A & Elebee B (anchor Elebee B or if thats not possible, then Elebee A)
3. Shotgun ( 50 + spread1 ) Elebee A & Elebee B

Caerbannog.SP:
1. Waiting for an enemy attack and then jump to an another cloth.

Enchanter looked around for the last time to be sure that there are no viruses lurking anymore. After he made sure that everything is all right, including Caerbannog, he waved to Raider.
- It looks like we're finished here. Let's go for the next one. - said the navi and jacked out from the machine.

- Oh.. we're really sorry. I promise we're going to be more careful from now on, right Dave? - answered the whisper Tim and watched as Mike walk away. - We certainly gonna be careful, 'couse I don't want to be burned by the stove... - mumbled Tim reading that the next one can be a little bit problematic.
- Hey look, the next one on the list, the Api Induction Stove, is in the second row, but now we're closer to the Klean Washing Machine. What do you say, which one should we choose? - asked his partner Timothy.

As the speakers begun to shout Timothy tried to cover his ears with his hands, but it didn't go too well, thanks to the simple fact that he was holding a PET in one of them. He would perfectly agree with the statement coming from the Hi-Fi, he's a big fan of the Cyber Steel rock band, but it was so loud that his head almost exploded. Luckily it didn't last long, but Tim's ears were ringing continuously for a few minutes after the incident.

Meanwhile, in the networld the battle was coming to its end. Caerbannog fortunately was able to dodge the attacks so far and he was trying to carry on doing so. He held the sword in both hands in front of him, making it harder for the fire virus to get close.
Enchanter, after slicing up two Champu turned around and easily spotted his new, and last target.
- Oh aiming for the weak one, are we? I also like this game. - said the navi. He closed the distance between him and the virus with a few agile steps and attacked with the sword. The sword slashed down from above, trying to cut the enemy into two pieces, starting with the head. But Enchanter wasn't sure if he was fast enough or not so a second strike followed the other one. Now the blade came from the right, along with a step, aiming to simply chop up the Champu. After the two successive cuts, the navi felt that he'd got some time and send a message to Raider. It contained the following sentence: " I suppose now we're even... " referring to the sonic burst.

-Summary-

Enchanter.EXE:
1. Move
2. Sword (80 + slash) Champu B
3. Sword (80 + slash) Champu B

Caerbannog.SP:
1. dodge

( I would like to ask for a split turn, please.)

With a loud bang, which was still not strong enough to be noticeable in this music, Caerbannog's helm bent on the right side, thanks to the left hook of the Champu. There was steam flying up from the bright red mark left by the flaming fist. The knight lost focus for a moment, but regained his posture in no time. He was in the face of the enemy and he know or at least felt that he doesn't stand a chance. Thankfully his job was only to buy some time and he succeeded in that.

A hand landed on the shoulder of the support program, which was covered with a white glove. As he looked up he saw his master standing next to him. Enchanters black rugged robe and dark hair was dancing furiously in the wind and his yellow eyes were shining, looking at the fire virus.
- Tim, send me the heatshot and get ready to slot the sword after that. - said the navi. It was obvious that he forced himself to use a calm tone, his voice wavering. It sounded like a still safe looking volcano's rumble before it erupts and becomes a natural disaster.
- Just don't do anything hasty... - answered his operator and did exactly what's been told to him, slotted the Heatshot and got ready to send next one too.

Warmness spread in Enchanter's body as the data arrived and the symbols on his gloves, which were glowing intensively with a red color, started to come off like they were only stickers. They looked like strange letters made of flames and were flying in front of the fire navi.
- Caerbannog, I think it's better if you take a few step backwards... - suggested Tim.
The knight heard the voice, thanks to the connection to the PET, and as he stumbled back, still feeling a little dizzy, he watched Enchanter clench his right fist. The flaming symbols straightened and become arrows made out of fire, aiming towards the two Champus whose came down from the stage. An evil grin appeared on the fire navis face.
- This puny little fire which you used is only a joke, right? It looks like I need to show you what TRUE FIRE IS! NOW TASTE THE FLAME OF MY ANGER! - Shouted Enchanter and the arrows set into motion, targeting the two fire virii.
- Oh, gosh. You should know that they probably didn't hear a single word... - said Tim only to himself and slotted the next chip.

A sword made out of energy appeared in the hand of Enchanter and he took a nimble step towards the enemy without wasting time. The arm swung and the blade came from the right as a horizontal cut. He prepared to finish off one if it survived, before it could counter. Leaping back he took up a defensive stance after the attack and got ready to cut down any champu that teleports close to them. - It would be a pain in the ass to charge at them in this environment and if they want to attack they need to get close anyway. - commented his plan Enchanter. He was still angry, but actually it was partly himself who he blamed. Because of him his support program who was only just modified almost got broken.

-Summary-

Enchanter.EXE:
1. Heatshot ( 45 fire ) ChampuC and ChampuE
2. Sword (80 + slash) if any survived (if luckily I got both of them then getting ready for the counter)
3. Sword (80 + slash) to any Campu who tries to come close to him or Caerbannog

Caerbannog.SP:
1. dodge

- I hoped that it wouldn't be something like this. - yelled Enchanter, trying to over shout the music. He's efforts didn't pay off. The three speakers were unbelievably large and the sounds coming from them were well matched. After the navi measured the situation, he came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be too hard to delete the virii... in normal environments. He looked around carefully searching for a way to stop this sound, or at lest for a way to obtain an earplug... Surprisingly the only visible change on Caerbannog was that his glowing white eyes were smaller than normally. He stared the Champus on the stage and tried to come up with counter plans if they notice them and start to attack.
- Bear with this "music" a little longer, I'm trying to do something about it. - said Tim. His voice reached Enchanter directly through the Jack-in cable, the navi heard Tims voice right in his head. But in this loudness, even this way he couldn't hear the words clearly.
- It's hard to hear you in this.... - Enchanters couldn't continue the sentence, because it suprised him too much that suddenly everything went silent. He couldn't hear a single thing.
- So what do you say? Is it better now? - asked Tim. His voice was clear, and thanks to the silence maybe a little loud. - I put up a filter in your sensors, from now on, while this is active you won't notice a certain type of signals. The data you can't process are the sounds, so basically you're deaf for now. Because you're linked to the PET directly we can still talk, the filter only stops the data arriving from the net. - explained the operator what was he working on till now.
- Pretty impressive, but unfortunately it still won't stop the most annoying problem. - said Enchanter, and even while he didn't hear he could feel the music. He felt every beat of the music right on his skin, thanks to the air rushing out of the speakers. It was like standing right in the middle of a storm where the wind blew with a pulse.

- That's exactly what I wanted to suggest. After we were able to witness yours superb snipping skills it's only natural that we will take care of the ground. - replied Tim to Dave in the real world after reading the incoming message of his navi. - Enchanter it's time to use our speciality, element control. We gonna start with a shotgun. - and he slotted the shotgun chip.

The stream of data arrived almost in no time to the navi, who was already in his battle mode. In the net world it took up the form of white sharp shards floating right before Enchanter, like usually. He begun to reconstruct it a little bit, to imbue it with water element. Slowly the color of the shards started to turn into light blue and they stretched, making them looks more like spikes. After a few moments they took up their final form, and there were suddenly a lot of icicles floating in the air. Like always, the fire navi carefully chose his targets, which right now were two Champus whose movements could be called dancing, if nodding your head and waving your hands was a dance. The symbols on both of Enchanters gloves glowed whit a brighter light than usual for a moment, and all of the ice spikes started to fly towards the two virii. It certainly took more time than just a normal shot, a perfect example of everything having a price.

- Okay let's try to finish off the one which Soldier attacked. - said Tim and slotted a cannon chip, hoping to finish of the Champu which his partners support program attacked.
The destructive power concentrated in Enchanter's right palm, looking like a white ball. He was already trying to stand in the most stable stance, thanks to the sound waves, and now only moved his right arm. He reached it out in front of himself and shot out the orb. This time the knockback from the cannon was too strong and the navi lost his balance. As he started to fall on his back, Caerbannog stepped in front of him and dropped to one knee. No one ordered him or anything, he just felt like he could be useful finally. His grip on the sword tightened as he got ready to parry the incoming attacks. He got ready to throw away his life, if needed to save someone. This kind of strong determination was one of the characteristic of a real knight, or at least that's what he thought.

- Summary -

Enchanter.EXE:

1. + 2. Enchan Weapon - Aqua and Shotgun ( 50 aqua ) ChampuD and ChampuE
3. Cannon ( 40 + Knockback ) ChampuA

Caerbannog.SP:

1. Being a living shield and trying to parry the incoming attacks.

- Oh, gosh.. be a little bit more careful... it was almost as bad as my sisters singing. - said Tim, rubbing his ears. They were still ringing from the annoying sound, which the TV emitted. He thankfully nodded towards Dave for finding the remote.
- Okay, we're out of ranged battle chips and if it can be avoided I don't want to step on these strange panels. So I've come up with a plan. - said Enchanter, who looked like he hadn't heard his operator at all.
- I'm all ears. - answered Tim. After the little incident he was thankful that he was wrong.
- First you send me a rageclaw, with that I lift the control tower of the RemoteBit, unfortunately we won't have a cover anymore, but if I can throw it to the Eleball it will be worth it. Thanks to my ability, I can anchor the virus to the ground if my aim isn't off. After that it will be a piece of cake to finish it off. - explained the fire navi his cunning plan.
- Not that I doubt how far you can throw, but there is a slight problem. -
- Oh did I leave something out of my calculations? - said the navi. As he looked around all he found was Raider with a still smoking gun in his hands. However the viruses were nowhere to be found. The netspace started to change back to its original form as well.
- Oh don't worry, it was a good plan, really. - tried to comfort his navi Timothy. It was only natural that his partner would take care of the enemies if he wasted too much time on thinking.

- Well, good job both of you. - complimented Enchanter Raider and Soldier. There were a little sadness in his voice, but maybe Tim was the only one who noticed it. - Come Caerbannog, it was only the first one. We're going ahead Raider.
And the fire navi and his support program left the TV's Network and returned to the PET.

- So the next one is the Prosonic Hi-Fi Set. It's the first from the left. - read Tim from the list and went towards the left side of the row. - Don't let it get to you. I promise you that after we finish this mission you will be much faster than Raider, and you will become powerful too, Caerbannog. - the young operator told them while he was on his way.
It wasn't hard to find the jack-in port on the Hi-Fi. It was next to the speakers ports, where it usually is. There wasn't much to think about, they jacked in, hoping that there won't be a sonic boom coming out of this malfunctioning machine.

[ If nothing goes wrong we're ready for the next battle. ]

- Wow, that RemoteBit of yours is a super useful chip! - said Tim happily, after witnessing that the cover works perfectly.
- Yeah, thanks Raider, it helps a lot.
- Okay, were doing especially good till now. Now I'm sending our last gun chips, use them well. - and so the operator took out a HeatShot and a Cannon chip from his pocket and got ready to slot them.
- You know that I will. - replied Enchanter.

The fire navi looked around searching for a position where he might be able to shot the two Billys at the same time. He decided what's the best place in the fraction of a second and of course moved there with a few rapid steps.
- I'm ready for the first one. - said the fire navi.
Tim slotted the HeatShot easily right away, like it would be his daily routine... well it is.
As the data arrived it took a form similar to the Shotgun chips, but the shards now were glowing with red light, just like the symbols on Enchanters gloves. The air was vibrating around them and anyone could tell at first glance that they were imbued with fire.... and that they were really hot.
The navis eyes were observing the viruses for a few moments and after the he shot out the shards with the same gesture like last time.
- Here goes the second one. - commented his actions Tim as he slotted in the Cannon chip.
Enchanter used this chip many times already so he took a firm stance, getting ready for the recoil, while the data arrived. The shape of the battle chip was a glowing white orb as big as a soccer ball. The fire navi hold it before himself with both of his hands. The orb was shot out with a loud bang targeting a Billy and gave a knockback for the navi.
Caerbannog was just doing what's been told to him and didn't left the cover. He gripped his sword really tight while waiting anxiously to finally do something useful.
