"A bomb chip? Well that opens up some doors I suppose... Might as well bring on the next batch as we still don't have enough for our desired knife chip...

"Yeah!!! Then I can show you more of my super special AWESOMENESS!!! WOO!!!

"Don't let it get to your head just cause I said you were cool once... I knew that was a mistake...

"Hey! Don't be jealous just cause I'm awesome! Let's just get that knify flamy chip I've been dreaming about!!

"Wow... I take back saying you were cool, that was the most girly sentence ever...

"HEY!!!

(BATTLE 3 COMMENCE PLEASE!!!)

Strouth felt the ground shake after he deleted the tank. He grinned and let out a barking laugh.

"HA! Guess I don't know my own strength!"

Uporn saying so, Strouth was struck by the actual cause of the tremors...

"Another reason why theatrics are bad..."

"You shut up! Just cause you don't have the flairy touch, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it!"

"Flairy?... Nice new word there... well, perhaps you should vent on the actual causes of your pain instead of me... Sending in thunder, cannon, and guard... you should have them... vent away..."

"Yeah yeah, blame shifting, well whatever! You sent me chips, that's all I care about! YAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

The flaming navi ran toward the first Metool with his arms flailing behind him, anime style. As the fiery navi ran towards his prey, these arms transmorgafied into the twin spears of the Billy virii. He leaped up and over the first virii and clashed the metallic points together, producing a giant sphere of deadly electricity that crept towards this first Metool. Strouth momentum continued, carrying him towards the other Metool.

"You're right Ronike! This whole jumping and killing venting dealieo really is making me feel better! Now lets see this helmeted creep take this!"

The spears retracted to show Strouth's arms already bathed in flames, which as though happy to be free of the restraining influence of the spears quickly flared out. Strouth, still airborne, brought his arms together, drawing the flames towards his hands as he went. The flames formed into the typical over sized cannon shape. Strouth took aim as best he could while still flying. Upon landing directly infront of his virus adversary, he could not resist first taunting his adversary

"G-day mate! Little hot for you?!"

With that, the flames burst off an oversized shot from near point blank at the virii. Strouth did not get to see whether the blast landed though, as the dispersing flames reformed in front of him, forming a protective wall, in case the blast somehow missed his target.

"Wow... that actually was kinda cool..."

RECAP:
1. Thunder 1 @ MetoolA (40)
2. Cannon @ Metool B (40)
3. Guard 1

"Hmm... a Beetank... I've never seen one of those, so I don't know what they do...

"So!? Best way to learn is through experience! So lets go! Send me in a rageclaw and a shotgun! DO IT NAO!!!"

"Alright, alright... no need to have a cow... Shotgun and rageclaw slot in... you've got them... Have fun, but not too much now..."

Strouth's wrists both released an inferno, which quickly began to morph into the navi's weapons of choice. This time though, they morphed into different objects: the left into the oh so familiar bear claw which the duo liked to use so much and the right into the narrow barrel of the shotgun.

"Come on now, theres no such thing as too much fun! Alright you tank things, you may be confident in your skills, but lets see how you like this!"

The flame navi rushed the closest Beetank and brought his claw at the virus, attempting to knock it into it's neighboring beetank. He followed the trajectory of the throw, aiming the shotgun at the Beetank he had tried to hit with its ally. He fired off the shot from the flaming barrel, trying to hit both tank's with the ensuing blast.

"If you hurry, you can use the remnants of those flames to get the other Beetank with the swords...

But the orange navi was already running at the final tank, shaping his flames into his dual blades.

"Way ahead of you mate! Let see how you like this!

The navi jumped high above his adversary, and began spinning so fast one would think he would be flying like a helicopter.

"FLAMING CYCLONE OF DOOM!!!!!"

"Always the dramatic one...

The whirling navi spun down towards the tank below him, attempting to slice the tank clean in half.

Recap:
1.Rageclaw closest Beetank (A for arguments sake) into the closest one to it (B) (20 Dmg)
2. Shotgun both enemies above (Btank A & B) (50 dmg)
3. Dual flame swords (Btank C) (50dmg)

"WHEEE!!! That was... well easy... time for more!

"Just so long as you don't go all vampiric on me..."

"Huh? What do you mean? WHEEEE!!!!"

"You know... that one game... with the weird vampire thing that always said whee... Django or something like that... I dunno, well tangents aside, that was rather easy, and thus rather cheap in rewards... so I guess we keep going..."

Strouth's grin grew even more maniacal than usual.

"ALRIGHTIO!!! MOD! ROUND 2 PLEASE!!!"

"You know, sometimes I think you grin like that just to freak me the shit out... and who are you talking to? Seriously... note to self, need new sanity chips..."

BATTLE DOS PLEASE!

"HAHA!!! TAKE THAT! You weakling, stupid, miny, virii! Haha! My taunt even rhymed that time!!"

"...Actually you missed one Strouth..."

"WHAT!?"

In his surprise at the virus' continued survival, Strouth failed to notice that the ground was fast approaching. There was a thud, and the flame navi was on the ground, grinning maniacally as always.

"Where's he at!? I'll show him to survive!

The flame navi quickly located his miniscule prey. He ran full speed at the virus, running circles around his confused adversary, serving Strouth's need to further torment the virus, in addition to not allowing the virus to get a clear shot off. After waiting to pull off a good shot, Strouth went in for the kill: a rageclaw swipe aimed to rend the Met from the Chops to the Knave (upward swipe).

"Take that! Stupid survivor... shoulda just payed dead!

RECAP:
1. Uh... nothing? Strouth falling I guess...
2. Tactical Movement + dodge (both kinda, more of a dodge)
3. Rageclaw Met B (40 dmg)

Bump

"Yasashi desuyo. Reji Kuraa to Shootoganu wa tsukaimasuyo."

Ronike could do naught but sigh
"Why are you speaking Japanese Strouth... there's no point... Alright though, I'm sending a rageclaw and a shotgun, have fun...

"Arigatoo goozaimasu

The bracelets on Strouth's wrists burst out in sudden flame, forming into the barrel of a cannon. Ronike leaped foward, into the fray. He carefully watched the 1st and second Mets, and upon landing, the flame navi launched a shot out of the flames. The shot sped towards the Virii, and split into several small, spread bursts upon drawing near the Navi's helmeted adversaries. But Strouth wasn't waiting to see what happened with those. He turned his attention to the 3rd virus, and quickly made his way over. His hand, from which the cannon of flame had dispersed upon being fired, was once again being enveloped in flame, this time forming a large paw. This time the flames dispersed, and the orange, fur covered claw they had hidden was revealed. Strouth quickly made good use of the claw by swiping the claw at the third Met, in hopes of deleting the Virus before it could do anything about it. Using the momentum of the slash, Strouth built quite the speed up towards the fourth, quickly leaping forward.

"SHINEE!!!"
He brought the claw down on his enemy. Upon connecting with something solid, the swordsman used the leverage to launch himself up into the air.

"Well that was fun!

"Ah, so done with the Japanese now, are we? Sometimes I wonder if you're sanity program is still intact...

"SANITY PROGRAM!? GET IT OUT, GET IT OUT!!!

Recap:
1. Shotgun Met A, splash Met B (50 dmg)
2. Rageclaw Met C (40 dmg)
3. Rageclaw Met D (40 dmg)
Free: Dodge swordplay

Twin raging flames burst up from the ground, which crackled and wavered into what seemed to be a humanoid form. All of the sudden, the flames burst, and Strouth was seen in their place.

"Wow! That jack-in took forever! Talk about lag!"

"Well, we were waitin on someone, but they don't seem to be coming..."

"Oh well, life goes on!"

The Navi released a bright flame from his wrist in his excitement.
"BRING ON THE VIRII!!!!"

Ronike could only shake his head.
"Always the impatient one... well might as well get this show on the road... the sooner we start, the sooner we have the money to get that battlechip... So for once I guess I agree with Strouth, bring on the virii...please

(You heard them, bring on the virii!)

((From Electown))
Ronike stepped off the metro and walked out onto the street.

"Why did we need to do this again?.. I could be at home right now sleeping..."

"Come on Ronike, it was noon! Get over it man!"

"Well, I wouldn't be tired, except SOMEONE insisted we virus bust at 4 in the morning..."

"Meh, you had fun, admit it! Let's just go check on that chip, maybe we can afford it now!"

Ronike walked over to the chip shop and check the pricing of the chips there.

"Well... we still don't have enough... Joy, a trip for no reason..."

"Chill man! We'll just go bust some more virii and get some zennies man! WOO!"

Ronike walked away from the chip store and over to the famous Squirrel of ACDC, which conveniently had a jack-in port to the ACDC net.

"Man can you think of anything else... and this was your plan all along, wasn't it? Oh well, might as well since we are here... Strouth.exe, Jack in...

Ronike aimed the PET at the squirrel and sent his bloodthirsty navi onto the net.

((Jack-in to ACDC net))

"WHAT DID YOU DO STROUTH!!! WHY IS THE FIRE ALARM GOING OFF!!!"

The entirety of Ronike's house was engulfed in the annoying buzzing that was his net operated fire alarms. And yet there were no flames...

"What? You weren't waking up to your alarm, so I rigged the alarm system into the fire alarm, I figured it would help you wake up!

Ronike facepalmed, and grabbed his black coat with the red x insignia and Strouth's PET. He threw his chip data, the zenny data, and his metro pass to ACDC into his coat pocket.

"You moron, now the fire department has to come and turn them off... and its a crime to be here when they are... Sometimes you just make me so mad..."

"Well now maybe we can go get some new chips, maybe meet some new people!"

Ronike walked out the door and started to walk to the nearest metro station.

"Yeah right... Well might as well check on that fire knife chip..."

He waited for the next metro to ACDC and got on, Strouth annoying everyone around him with his continuing antagonization of Ronike...

((To ACDC))
