Sensing the impending attack, Shizuka shifted all of her weight to the left, and snapped her head in that direction. The shot whizzed past her face, the digital wind pushed by it's momentum causing her ponytails to whip around. Shizuka herself remained fairly motionless after that, not even bothering to put her other foot down, for a moment.

Suddenly, said foot slammed down. "That was it!? Come on! I didn't come virus busting to deal with some pansy assholes that do nothing but hide and shoot every so often! I came for a god damn fight!!"

"Um... that virus appears to be hiding again, behind the final Canondumb.

Shizuka frowned angrily. "This crap's gone on long enough. Seriously. Aren't viruses supposed to be friggin' malicious? It's time to move on, already!"

Sprinting forward, Shizuka expected the Canondumb would try to fire at her. Having a general idea of what to expect, in mid-run, she began jumping slightly with each step, from side-to-side. Essentially, at the expense of some forward speed, she was zig-zagging up towards it, with the intent of throwing off it's chances of hitting her.

"Lien-"

She felt the data load already, and grinned. As soon as she got up close to it, she stopped, planting her feet solidly in front of it. It was risky, but she knew that by being so close, the virus was sure to shoot. She wouldn't be able to react in time, but if she timed it right...

"Guard!"

She held up her left hand, and, hoping the near-instantaneous summoning of the chip would be instantaneous enough to reflect the attack she knew was going to come, loaded the data. The yellow shield formed in front of her, hopefully in time for the Canondumb's attack to strike it and explode in its own face. Regardless, there was no time to waste. From there, she flipped over it (or perhaps it's data, anyway), hoping what would come next would come in time.

And, as it happened, it was to happen as planned - Emosawa had taken the que, and slotted in the Rage Claw chip that she now felt the data of. Forming her large right hand into the equally-sized bear-hand, she grinned. With an animalistic - perhaps bear-like - roar, she swiped downwards, hoping to take out the cowardly Shrubby.


Summary:
1. Strategic Movement
2. Guard1 -> CanondumbC (expected attack) [60]
3. Rage Claw+Untapped Power -> ShrubbyA [40+10]

"They... appear to be scared of you, Shizuka."

Shizuka laughed, her mania making for the only sound in that particular area. "Well well! Isn't that interesting... and very cowardly! It sure seems to be a common trait among you weaker viruses to be like that, huh?"

"Shizuka... I, um... I... don't think that you-"
"Lien! Shotgun, Cannon, now!"

An audible breath escaped Emosawa's lips as he slotted in the chips in succession. He almost wished he hadn't let it escape, but he figured that his chances of not having Shizuka pick it up in the state that she was in were pretty good. So he hoped, anyway.

Back in the networld, Shizuka was nice and set to go. The cannon formed around her extended left hand, and she grasped the bulky shotgun in her right. "Cowardly viruses like you who do nothing but hide really piss me off!" she roared, letting loose a blast from each. They were aimed at the two Canondumbs that the Shrubbies her hiding behind. But if they thought that was going to save them, one of them was in for quite a surprise...


Summary:
1. Cannon+Untapped Power -> CDA [50]
2. Shotgun -> CDB+ShrubbyB [50]
3. Nothing (Dodge by default I guess?)

"Ah... good job on defeating them, Shizuka."

"Fuh, they weren't even all that tough," Shizuka replied, making no attempt to sound particularly pleased with herself. "What did we get out of it?"

"Let's see... it looks like some zenny and a Guard1 battleschip."

"Whaaaaaat?" she almost whined. She was certainly not pleased, anyway. "A worthless chip like that? You should just toss it, or something. Who needs to 'guard' when you can just blow your enemies away!?"

Emosawa found himself without much of a response. Without one that would earn him a verbal berrating, anyway.


BATTORU 2, GO

"I... think you may have scared it, Shizuka."

"Hahahah! Interesting! So the bastard wants to play a game of hide-and-seek with me, huh? Well, thankfully, I see him under that goddamn hat of his, and it aint jack compaired to my toys!"

"Err, um... I uh, I think that... that's what you'd called 'Peakaboo', not 'Hide-and-Seek', Shizuka."

The net-navi let out an obnoxious snort. "Pfah! Whatever! Details like that don't matter!"

Shizuka extended her right arm outwards fully in front of her. (And despite what one may think, wasn't in danger of falling over). The large fingers and thumb of her hand seemed to flex outwards for a moment, before the whole hand seemed to seperate into strips. The strips folded outwards, and before long, a half-foot-long barrel was formed, locking into place with her arm with a loud click.

"And heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's why~!" she roared with a grin. From the wide barrel erupted a sphere of blackish energy, directed towards slamming into the remaining Metool.


Summary:
1. Big Bang -> MetoolC [40;Break]

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahah! Alriiiiight! Let's get this party started!"

"Ah, mm, let's do our-"
"Lien! Cannon chip!"

Without a word, Emosawa sheepishly slotted in the chip as commanded. She didn't like it when Shizuka cut her off like that, but there was little she could do.

Back in the net, the Cannon digitized around her left hand. Wasting absolutely no time, she pointed it at the Metool farthest from her, and fired at it, hardly affected by the recoil. Draw first blood... As the weapon dissolved with it's use, Shizuka charged up along the broadside of the other two, intending to line them up in a row.

A wicked grin adorned her childish face. "She who strikes fiiiiiiirst~!" she began, almost screaming the words. Picking up on the cue, Emosawa slotted in the Shotgun chip, not bothering to distract her partner with trivial matters.

Grasping the weapon in her monstrous right hand, she planted her feet in the ground, whipped it out level at the Metools, and fired. It was an odd sight, as her huge arm absorbed most of the backwards force the shot created, making it seem like she wasn't even fazed by the recoil.



Summary:
1. Cannon -> MetoolA [40]
2. Strategic manuever
3. Shotgun -> Metool B+C [50]

With a burst of digital light, or whatever one might call such a thing, Shizuka erupted into the networld of ACDC town. Being an oddly designed navi by a deceased relative of Emosawa's, she stood out greatly from the rest of the navis that were around. But hey, screw what they thought; if they wanted to poke fun at her appearance, they'd be feeling her right hand's strength, no doubt.

"Hm! Alright! Hey, Lien! Keep a look out for any viruses that I can rip into!"

"Ah, alright! I'll do my best." came the reply. In the realworld, Emosawa already had his battlechips on his desk if necessary.


BATTLE 1 GET

"Aaaaagggh! Damnit Lien, hurry the hell up!" came the barking voice of Shizuka, completely contradicting her name.

Emosawa put down the brush he was using to tend to his hair with a sigh. It seemed like lately Shizuka could hardly even wait to jack into the net. It was like fighting was all that she had on her mind... On second thought, that sounds exactly like her all the time.

"Lien! Stop standing there like a stupid bimbo and come on on already!"

Blushing in embarassment about not even responding to his navi, she acted swiftly. "Ah, uh, right! Coming!"

With a few quick movements, he left the mirror in his bathroom, stepped into his room, and retrieved the pink-and-black PET from his neatly organized desk. "So, will it be the usual again, Shizuka?"

"Yeah, guess so. Come on, just jack me in already. I'm itching to kick some virus ass, here."

With a nod, Emosawa opened up his pink laptop, and made the connection with the PET. "Alright, your connected Shizuka. You can enter now."

"No, no, no! You have to put some emotion into! Come on! Scream 'Jack in!' or something!" came the reply before she was transferred.

Emosawa felt his blush return to him. "Ah... that's... a little much, for me."

Emosawa A. Turned
Preferred name: Lien
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Appearance:
As can be seen, Emosawa has a rather distinctive body with quite feminine features, but is still a boy, both mentally and anatomically. His long, strawberry brown hair has the same silky bounce to it that you'd expect from a girl's hair, and is tied in the back into a large braid. His face itself looks girly, lacking the strong jawline that most males have, and having the same puffy lips and big beautiful blue eyes you'd expect from the opposite gender.

His choice in clothing certainly doesn't help his case, either. A white, baby blue, and grey shoulder-less robe over a sleeveless black tanktop, a large pink wraparound sash, and a smaller, dark red one over that. His hair is bound in a length of black string with tassles, matching the decorative black belts and arm-wrappings he likes to wear, as well as his knee-high black boots. The part that really throws people off is his tendency to wear skirts, such as silky dark red one in the picture.

Personality: As one might expect from his overall appearance, Emosawa is not exactly the manliest man. Being raised in an all-female household, he was taught to be kind, polite, and charming as best he could, and he has held this even past childhood, almost overly-so. He tends to be pushed around quite easily, and be flustered by difficult situations. His navi, especially, subserviates his will. Still though, when the going gets tough, he has the confidence to do what needs to do without needing to be asked.

PET Modifications: Pink, with a black trim. (Much to Shizuka's chagrin). Designed for optimal lefty-use.

Shizuka
Gender: Female
Element: Normal
Type: Normal

Appearance:
Shizuka has a very distinctive appearance. She looks like a young girl, no older than 11, and is appropriately proportioned. She has rather pale skin, and torso-length, light blond hair done up in two ponytails. She has large, almost child-like eyes, albeit that they carry a fiery, almost feral intensity about them. Appropriately, her pupils are thin slits like an animal's.

Her design is quite minimalistic. Knee high black boots with a few pink lines, an orange mini-bikini bottom, an orange strapless bikini top, and a black glove over her left hand. (The boots, top, and glove are all armour-y, though the bikini bottom isn't).

Her right arm, however, is the complicated part, and the most distinctive thing about her. It's a large, black (with pink lines) mass of... something. It almost looks organic, and is essentially ammorphic, but holds the anatomy of a slightly deformed, really big arm. Her grey, clawed right hand isn't as big as the arm from which it originates, but it's still probably twice as big as her left hand. Closer to the top on the side is her navi symbol. It appears like a swirling mix of royal purple and cherry red with a dark orb in the center.

Personality:
Despite her childlike appearance and name, Shizuka is a crazed battle-monger with an unexpectable temper and a tendency to go overboard. Megalomania is her forte. She tends to treat her Op with little respect and even less formality, but she is concerned to an extent about her. In fact, despite her "Chaotic Evil" sort've personality, she's not a bad person. She has no problem with helping people if they need help, she's just... less likely to do so. And a bit more likely to let them get smacked around if it helps her win.

Custom Weapon:
Big Tri-Gun - Shizuka's main weapon is a long, 3-barreled gattling gun that grows outwards from her arm, causing her hand to fold back. Her charged attacks involves the barrels spinning as the attack charges, and all three barrels firing at once to generate a fairly decently sized dark blast.

Signature Attack:
Big Bang - Shizuka's initial signature attack. Her hand splits into several strips and folds outwards, shifting into a large cannon. As one might expect, it fires a large burst of dark energy designed to crash into enemies with heavy force. Simple, but mostly effect.
Shot - Break - 40 Damage - 2CD
