Prominence closed his eyes for a moment, shaking his head as he walked up to the helmet and let out a sigh. Reaching down and with just a touch, it quickly converted itself to chip data, being sent back to Kite's PET.

"Guard chip huh? Gotta start somewhere I suppose. By the way you lost your temper again, ya can't be getting all riled up especially at these smaller viruses. You'll get sloppy."

Prominence opened his eyes again as he stood back up, looking for another group of viruses to take on. He opened and closed his fist as his breathing slowly normalized, returning once again to a less aggravated state.

(Request Battle 2)

"One left huh? A Can-No chips. It doesn't deserve them."

Prominence's tone had shifted, he had been expecting a quick deletion and the Metool remaining really should have been taken out from that last volley. It was clearly mocking him, and such an affront would not be taken lightly. Standing up straight and having his hands now returned to their normal state. A glint from his eyes once more opened the barrier to the stars that knocked away the pick and began to gather power within himself. The standard buster charge wasn't an option Prominence resorted to often, but to make a point, it would suffice.

"You couldn't just fall with your friends? Fine. Then perish alone."

Bringing his right arm out to the side, the cosmic navi summoned up a portal into the heavens beneath it, about the size of the Metool in question. From within the portal, a faint orange glint could be seen in the distance which quickly grew larger before a meteor engulfed in flames rocketed out heading straight for the Metool. Sure that this attack would finish off this group finally, Prominence made no additional effort to avoid attacks as he lowered his arm and the portal shrunk into nothingness.

Action Free) Turbulence
Action 1) Charge Buster
Action 2) Charge Buster
Action 3) Full Charged Buster (40 dmg, Accuracy: A)

Prominence appreciated the respect he was being given by the Metool in seeing if he was ready for battle. Busting viruses may be a violent endeavor, but that's no reason to be impolite. Taking a bow before the Metools, Prominence met the raised pickaxe pulling his right arm out to his side, waiting for his operator to load in a chip for him to use.

"Guess we'll work with what we have. I got a few chips when I stopped by the Netbattling club booth two weeks back, nothing special but better than nothing. Slot-In, Shotgun and ZapRing1."

Prominence's left hand at his side quickly became encompassed by the battlechip's code, replacing his hand with a more traditional buster that was white like his clothing. In his outstretched right hand, a yellow light welled up from the darkness in his hands and a ring of sparking energy formed floating around it.

Prominence looked to the two weapons he had been alotted, his eyes rolling slightly as he lowered his right arm. "Adequate, I suppose." he remarked before raising the shotgun before him aimed at the frontmost Metool. A quick shot followed with the chip returning his hand to its original form directly after. As he dropped his left and quickly raised his right, a flick of the wrist to fire the ZapRing in the wake of the shotgun shot.

Prominence was mostly his first strike would deal with the Metools, but he kept watch on them just in case, ready to sidestep any of their trademark shockwaves that approached him. His eyes narrowed as well, before opening wide with a glint as a faint veil of starscape appeared before him.

Action 1) Shotgun Battlechip to Metool A (Secondary Target Metool B?) (50dmg + Spread 1)
Action 2) Zapring to Metool C (40 dmg + Stun 1)
Action 3) Dodge
Action Free) Turbulence

Warping in from the access point, Prominence proceeded out into the whole of ACDC Net. Looking about, there were various navis scattered around, some chatting, some battling viruses. Obviously, since this wasn't the Internet City network, viruses were roaming about too, which was good as that was what they came here to do. "Alright, time to get used to battling again. How long has it been now?"

A small screen appeared next to Prominence, the face of Kite appearing on the screen with the study room displaying in the background. "About three months, with all the moving and getting settled, we haven't really been able to surf the net and bust viruses for fun"

"Let's also not forget how you somehow lost most of your battlechips while packing."

Kite's face turned pink slightly. "Yeah... That happened too. A-anyway how about we start, pick any group you like, I'm sure more will come once we make some noise."

Prominence strolled casually through the net, his arms folded looking for a group of viruses to start out on.

((Requesting Battle 1 Please))

Eyes skimming down the monitor, Kite continued his assigned reading for his Astronomy class. On his desk his PET sat in desk's slot for it, the screen displaying diagrams from the text. The workload for his classes was heavier than he had expected, having mostly breezed through schooling up until this point. For one who rarely spent time in libraries, a good part of his week now consisted of using the corner study room on the second floor. Through the speakers in the room, a soft string melody played. This weekly ritual of studying had been an interesting addition to Kite's life after entering Dentech University, and while he hadn't really made any new friends here, he hadn't really been making the effort.

On his Terminal screen, appearing over the diagram, the masked face of Kite's Navi, Prominence.EXE appeared. "You know, your assignment was only to read to the end of chapter 3."

Kite kept on reading without replying to Prominence, he knew full well he was reading past his assignment. What's so bad about being a little ahead of the class after all? "Could you move that new diagram to the main screen please?" Kite asked to his Navi, eyes still locked on his textbook.

Prominence, waved his hand as the diagram moved over the text on the main screen, eyes closing and shaking his head with a sigh. "Being ahead of one your studies is one thing, but your history reading is still sitting unread and its due tomorrow morning.

Kite stuttered a bit in his scrolling, he had been putting off his worst subject as much as he could and certainly didn't like being called out on it, even if everything Prominence said was true. He kept reading down, planning on just finishing the page he was on. As he neared the end of the page, however, Prominence started up again.

"You can't excel in one class just to fall back in another Kite. If you ever expect to keep going with your main focus, you'll have to keep your weaknesses in check too."

Finishing his page, Kite closed his eyes and stretched his arms up, letting out a soft groan. Standing up from his seat to stretch a little after his studying, Kite didn't really appear to acknowledge what his Navi was telling him, instead making another request. "Prominence, can you please make the window transparent again?

Without a word, the large window to the outside tinted slightly for privacy, diffused its tint to reveal the noontime sun illuminating the campus. Kite had only been studying for about two hours, having eaten a snack about halfway through. He still needed to finish his history reading as his Navi had reminded him of, but that could wait a little.

"How about a break? We haven't had a lot of time to surf the net since we moved in, how about we go see if we can't grind out some virus busting."

Prominence sighed, he didn't like being ignored, though from Kite it wasn't quite so bad. It was true he was getting bored just waiting around while Kite studied. His design may have been based on the stars, but he lacked the interest in them that Kite had. In truth, being able to move about the net again will be refreshing, but he had to temper his excitement with discipline for Kite. "Alright, but just for a little while. I'm not letting you sleep until your history reading is done though."

"Great! Jack I-Kite this desk is already connected to the internet"

With a quick motion, Kite nabbed the PET from the desk, smiled slightly, and said once again, "Jack In! Prominence! Execute!"

Name: Prominence.EXE
Gender: Male
Element: Fire
Subtype: Wind

Appearance: Prominence stands at 6'7" wearing a white chinese gi with golden yellow straps. A maching pair of pants stretch down the navi's legs. Prominence's Straight blond hair reaches down just to his shoulders, though his face is covered by a mask, White and featureless save for the eye slots cut sharply into the mask. His eyes consist of a black sclera with an orange-yellow iris seemingly molten in texture, containing within a standard black pupil. In stark contrast to the bright clothing he wears, Prominence's hands and feet seem as if looking through to a distant starscape. Specks of light seem to fly by surrounded by a deep darkness as he moves about the network.

Personality: Prominence thinks very highly of himself and is slow to accept his own shortcomings. He will commonly make quick judgments about people based on little information, but otherwise holds others to the same high standards at which he holds himself. Those that betray those standards he takes almost a personal vendetta against, while those who uphold them can expect nothing but respect.

Custom Weapon: Meteor Shower: With a wave of his hand, Prominence can fire waves of tiny meteors. With charge, he stretches one arm out to the side as a portal to the stars appears beside him, firing larger rocks wreathed in flames.
