Why not, you're one of the ones I know nothing about aswell.

Splitman is in

<grabs a registration spot too>

I think I'll get in on this.

Confirmed. Last call for anyone interested!

My plan is to have maybe one or two warm-up battles followed by the grand fanale, if it is alright with everyone.

This is your thread. You tell us.

Alright! Lets get this going.

Splitman! Red Riding Hood! Druidman! Suit up and jack in to the port nearest you. I will transport you three to a cordoned-off section of ACDC net. You will meet up with another Navi at the training area.

A gust of wind blows across the net, bringing in leaves that swirl and form... Druidman.

Druidman rose from his crouched position, and looked around the net. "Whoa, dude! Where am I?"

A small light beeped on Steve's PET.

VISION QUEST SIMULATION: RUNNING

A column of red light crashed down on surface of the net and reformed into the figure of Red_Riding_Hood.exe.

"Whoa! Where's this, Shin?" Red inquired, astounded at the area where she hadn't ever been in before.

"Well, it's some beta version of a simulator NanoPengi sent us, it's connected to the internet so more beta testers will be on here as well," Shin explained, sipping some lemonade. "Look, there's one now," the netop commented, pointing at Druidman.

"Oh boy! An ally! Hey mister! What's your name? I'm Red_Riding_Hood.exe! But you can call me Red!" the red-caped wonder asked, giggling innocently.

((ENTRY!))

"Well, heya, little chickadee." Druidman said. "Red, huh? I'm Druidman, dude." he said with a broad smile. "Nice to meet you, man!" he said.

Druidman then looked around at the ground some more, his tracking sense kicking in... "So, you have any idea what's going on, chickadee?"

"No idea, mister Druidman! My operator was just given this beta version of some simulator that needs navis for testing, it's hosted on the internet so I guess this is the main server," Red replied cheerfully, not really caring if the situation was either totally dangerous or extremely dangerous. She then took a giant cake out of her picnic basket.

"No point in working on an empty stomach!" the crimson crusader proclaimed, setting the treat down and taking out a knife, and slicing a piece for Druidman, putting it on a plate, and handed it over to the Wood Navi, complete with a fork and knife.

"Here! Have a piece!" Red said, offering the pastry to her possibly newfound ally in whatever this ordeal was.

A beam of light shot in from the sky followed by the sound of a loud crash.

"Ugh, where the hell is this place anyway?" Splitman grumbled, walking out of a collapsed structure. "I am hoping there is at least a profit to be made here...." He said to the heavens
"Probably" Chad replied " There is profit to be made everywhere... just ask these mooks"

The three NetNavis are beamed down, unaware of what exactly awaits them. A calm, deep voice comes from behind them.

Welcome, miss. Welcome gentlemen.

The three Navis turn towards the voice, and their eyes meet on a single NetNavi standing calmly before them. The Navi is tall, tanned, and very well built. His entire body is covered in well-toned muscles, more similar to that of a gymnast than a body-builder. His angular jaw holds his confident smirk; his dark orange eyes are bright with energy and confidence.

The Navi’s short, spiky black hair is held back by a red fighting helmet that encircles his head like a bulky headband and covers his ears with protective padding. He wears a skin-tight gray shirt with very short sleeves; the shirt is tucked into his shiny black basketball shorts. His hands and upper arms are partially wrapped in black tape and several segmented golden metal plates cover his knuckles.

The Navi’s legs are more bulked up than his arms, rippling with spring-like muscles on a hair-trigger. His knees are also covered in black tape. The three Navis then shift their gaze to the Navi’s primary weapons on his shins: two shining metal greaves. The protective armor covering his shins and ankles are dull silver, trimmed with gold; and wrap each leg, not leaving a single area on his lower-legs unprotected. They appear to be very heavy, but looking at the Navi’s expression, one would think he wouldn’t even notice.

I am GreaveMan.EXE. I am the personal defense instructor for the local NetPolice forces in this area. Due to the increased viral activity across the networks, we are running tests on the local NetOperators and NetNavigators. This way the NetPolice can evaluate Navis like yourselves on your combat effectiveness. We also like to use this program to inform others of the growing problems on the net and help train upcoming NetBattlers on how to keep themselves safe. We will be starting your evaluation momentarily after I pull up your files.

A small window opens up next to GreaveMan, displaying a transparent ready message as a small semi-clear keyboard came into view under the screen. Greaveman casually took a few steps to the screen and started to type on the keyboard. After a few seconds, he stops typing and closes the screen and turns back to the trio.

All three of you are experienced NetBattlers, so we will save some time and skip the basics. All three of you will be busting together, but the one with the best performance will get a little “reward” to use for the second test. The evaluation will begin in 15 seconds.

The area starts to hum as small lights begin to form in front of the Navis. GreaveMan steps off to the side and stands patiently. The lights grow bigger and twist into odd shapes. The light starts to die, revealing colorful viruses, poised to attack. Three large stone blocks also come into view spaced in a staggered formation about 10 feet apart, creating a visible divide between the Navis and the awaiting viruses. The viruses stand perfectly still, seemingly waiting for a command to attack.

5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Begin.

"Seems snack time is over, Mister Druidman," Red commented, putting away the giant cake. She waved cheerfully at the other navi arrival.

"Let's do our best, guys! Time to rock out!" the red-caped wonder shouted, cheering on her allies.

"Man, situations like these might not be suitable for me after all," Shin commented grinning and scratching the back of his head sheepishly. He pulled up the PET's holoscreen menus and got out his battlechip folder. Taking another sip of lemonade, the self-proclaimed ace netbattler swiftly inputted commands and chips into his personal terminal and gave his navi a thumbs-up.

"GreaveMan, GreaseMan, or GreedMan, whatever your name is, the only thing that's true here are the actions of the navis! Preparations all finished, go get 'em!" Shin cheered, positioning his sunglasses to his forehead.

"Alright, I'll start off! Caramel Stickiness!" the crimson crusader announced, sweeping her cape behind herself and whipping out a metal canister from her picnic basket. The red-caped navi proceeded to slam the item into the floor, and, in that instant, a giant burst of a sticky, sugary substance erupted out of the ground near the Spookys and Shrubbys. The cascading caramel waves threatened to engulf the viruses and restrict their movements as they descended.

"Whip me a bunch of cookies and I've no time to spare~" the treat-serving entity commented musically before disappearing in a flash from her current position, and reappearing behind the Spikey viruses, right arm extended toward the wolves. She seemed to be carrying a gun, which was connected together by the trigger and handle, three colorful bubbles, and a drain-like appendage at the end of the barrel.

"But if it's water and bread, you've got me there!" Red finished rhyming, winking cutely while pulling the trigger on her bubble generator. Three large spherical orbs made of water slowly popped out of the device and descended on the Spikeys, threatening to entrap the viruses in their bubbly cages.

Tossing the bubble generator aside, Red dashed backwards, watching her enemies, ready to avoid any incoming attacks. The wind around the netscape picked up, swirling around the wind navi's feet, ready to aid her in her escape from being harmed.

"Fire away everybody!" Red called, cheering on her allies.

'A reward... hmmm... well, at least I won't be last to attack' Splitman thought, before noticing the cannons beginning their usual lock-on sequence.
"Oh come on.. " He muttered before leaping to the side, almost hitting a rockcube. "Damnit" he shouted, charging the emplacement with eyes blazing. His arm buckled under the force of each successive blow against the target, finally coming to a rest as a useless hunk of scrap at his side. To his left he noticed the group of spikeys now trapped in boubles, and a conveniently placed block to his side.

"GET DOWN" Splitman shouted before his right arm transformed into a gruesome claw, gripping his left arm tightly. As he jammed the limb into the block, it too transformed into a claw, in some sort of horrible mockery of nature or common sense.

Grinning, he hurled the cube towards his helpless foes.

((Uninspired post go!))

Druidman was eating his cake. It was pretty darn good. "Hey, this is pretty good, man!" Druidman said.

Then that Geaveguy showed up. And ruined his day. Great. Now he can't even finish his cake. Stupid Greavedude...

That little Red girl and the other dude had already gone off and decided to attack various viruses. Druidman thought more of the cake...

"Steve, I want my Firesword." Druidman said seriously.

"Uh, are you sure, Druidman? That's fairly powerful for how the sides are laid out. It sounds a bit like overkill." Steve said, pulling the chip out nonetheless.

"These dudes are getting in the way of my cake, man." he said.

Shrugging, he obliged. His Navi knew how to handle viruses better than he did, after all.

Druidman drew his scimitar, and charged it with the natural energy inside of the chip. Instantly, the edge glowed orange with heat, and then the rest of the blade was immolated in white hot flames.

"I WANT SOME MORE CAKE!!!" Druidman roared as he blindly leapt into the fray, swinging the sword like a madman.

1.)Firesword Battlechip @ whatever's left. (80Fire, up to three)
2.)Firesword Battlechip @ whatever's left. (80Fire, up to three)
3.)Firesword Battlechip @ whatever's left. (80Fire, up to three)
4.)Reserved for Dodging.
5.)Reserved for Dodging.

Red Riding Hood.EXE unleashes a wave of sticky sweetness, restricting 3 of the viruses' movements. Red Riding Hood then expertly teleported behind the unsuspecting Spikeys and unleashing a BubbleStar burst. All three Spikeys damaged by the water and were encased in the cage-like bubbles.

Splitman.EXE came into the fray immediately after Red Riding Hood, leaping behind the cannon viruses and attacking fiercely with his left arm, leaving the viruses bent out of shape and motionless like telephone pole hit by a car. His arm did not fare too well either, temporarily disabling his arm. He continued his assault by using his dual RageClaws to lift the center RockCube and throw it at the trapped Spikeys. He struck the middle Spikey dead on, crushing it under the stones massive weight as it shatters on impact. The pieces of rock shrapnel unfortunately free the remaining two Spikeys, one of which fires off a retaliatory shot at Splitman as revenge for its fallen pack-mate.

Druidman.EXE, thoroughly pissed about not having enough cake, pulls out his scimitar. imbued with fire and in the hands of one strong and angry Navi, its blade first falls on the still stunned Spooky viruses, eliminating both in one swing. He then leaped towards the remaining Spikey viruses. One of the Spikeys moves in front of its comrade, shielding it and firing a heat shot from its mouth. Druidman charges through the fire largely unaffected and thrusts forward, stabbing both viruses through the center. He turns around and charges an incredibly frightened Shrubby virus. He easily dispatches the living shrub with one swipe, all in front of the last Shrubby. Druidmans eyes dart to the lone Shrubby, hunger and hate burning in his eyes. The Shrubby decides to go out with honor... and runs away like a little girl, screaming if it could.

VICTORY!

"ALRIGHT! Hi-five everybody!" Red cheered, bouncing up and down, approaching her allies and trying to hi-five them.
After that little episode, Red walked up to Druidman and gave him a single-layered chocolate cake. "Here! For working so hard, you get more cake! Thanks for your help, Mr. Druidman!" the crimson crusader complimented cheerfully. She then went up to Splitman, and innocently asked, "Would you like a snack as well?"

"Damn, did you see that Red? Those viruses didn't stand a chance," Shin remarked, pumping his fist in the air, while eating a potato chip.

"Just goes to show that teamwork of the very few can kick the butts of the many!" the red-caped wonder exclaimed in reply. She turned to GreaveMan, saying "Alright, after these guys are finished snacking, let's have the next batch! This is pretty fun!"

((Ready for Battle 2 once I probably give Robo's navi something to snack on. :'D))

"Mmmm, cake." Druidman said as he accepted the second piece. "I love cake. And pie. I love pie, too." he said as he took a huge bite happily. "Baked goods are truly a testament to what nature has to offer, man." he said with a smile. "I'd love to see the tree that these grew on. For some reason, I have trouble with growing pie trees. And pant trees, as a matter of fact."

Steve had a somewhat incredulous look on his face after that last statement.

"Anyway, that wasn't really much of a big deal. I've dealt with much worse in my day, dude." he commented as he took another bite. "Mmm! I'm pretty sure that you are the awesomest Navi I've ever met, chickadee!" he said to Red.

((Didn't notice you finished because each time I looked Steve's post was still the last one))

Splitman calmed down, looking confused that it was already over.
"So.. shall we just continue then..?" Splitman asked, looking about.

Red wordlessly placed a cookie in Splitman's hand. It was coded so that it would match his favorite flavor, if he had any. She blushed at Druidman's comment, scraping the ground with her foot, "Aww~ Gee thanks!"

"Alright! Let's go!" the red-caped wonder whooped to Greaveman, ready for battle.

((BATTLE 2, GO!))

((This will be the 2nd out of the three battles of the series. Upping epic-ness, maybe.))

Greaveman waits patiently as the trio continue their snacks and consequently rest up. Greaveman sees they are finished and speaks up.

Good work. A little sloppy, but you still got the job done. The next part of the evaluation will be another battle, but this will be slightly different.

As Greaveman finishes his statement, a distant rumbling can be heard in the distance. Greaveman takes a step back, turning toward the noise. The Navi Trio focus in on the source of the noise, and catch a glimpse of a dark, slim object moving at high speed towards them. The object gets closer and closer, and some of its features start to become easier to see. The object is covered in shiny black metal plates, forming a sleek winged object like a futuristic jet aircraft. Jet passes the group of Navis, almost blowing the group off their feet. After it passed and flipped back to the group, a large orange flash of light emerged in front of it. The aircraft passes through and disappears, leaving a pointy figure behind. The Navi touches down and slides to a stop, then stands before the four Navis. The Navi’s armor is almost entirely black with a few areas of dark orange, including his knee and shoulder armor. A dark blue visor covers his eyes, but his nose and frowning mouth are visible. His earpieces extend from his years a few inches past his face, and then point vertically past his ears. The spikes on his foot, shin, and elbow armor look very similar to his orange hair. Greaveman resumes his briefing.

This time I enlisted the help of a good friend of mine, Vengeance.EXE. He will be your primary opponent.

Vengeance cuts in with his cold, aggravated voice.

I am looking forward to testing your abilities.

Oh, I almost forgot about the reward. Red Riding Hood.EXE, while your style of busting didn’t directly delete any of your opponents, you were able to make them more vulnerable to your busting partners' attacks and limited their ability to harm your team. This is why you win the reward! As a result, I will join you in this fight.

As Greaveman walks to Red Riding Hood, the floor begins to shake, and some of the panels on the floor crack in very straight lines. Several walls burst up out of the ground, separating the three Navis from each other. One large wall rises up behind them, and another out in front. All three Navis are restricted to about 30 square feet of room, encased by the tall and seemingly impenetrable walls. Vengeance chuckles from behind the walls and addresses the group.

You must work quickly, for I am a very impatient person.

Several viruses appear inside the barriers trapping the navis, and several pillars. The viruses again stand motionless, ready to strike.

The test begins, now.

BATTLE #2: Separation Anxiety! FIGHT!

"Hey!" Druidman yelled as the walls rose up from the ground. "That's not cool, dude."

"Please, Druidman." Steve said. "I don't think this sort of thing will really do much to stop you." he picked up a few chips. "Honestly."

Druidman laughed. "I guess you're right, man." he shook his head and raise up his jeweled gauntlet. "Now it's time to tear this all up and save chickadee and that other dude!" he yelled.

Druidman charged his gauntlet with the intense heat energy of one of Steve's rarest chips. Three individual leaves smoked and curled around, then suddenly solidified into a trio of clustered missiles. Druidman visualized three separate crosshairs forming around him, and he willed them around to his intended targets. "Enjoy, man!" he said as a small explosion sent the projectiles spiraling offwards in three different directions.

Taking a spectacular dive and tumble (for no real reason) Druidman reached into his belt pouch, and set a small round device into the crook of the wall.

Finally, he drew his scimitar and bent into a familar boomerang shape. With a flick of the wrist, he sent it twirling about the room.


1.)Charge Magnum.
2.)Charge Magnum.
3.)Untapped Potential: Magnum1 Battlechip to SpikeyB, PillarB, Walls. (135Fire/135Fire/135Fire)
4.)Energybomb Battlechip to Walls. (40Normx3)
5.)Boomerang1 Battlechip to SpookyB, MetB, Walls. (70Wood/70Wood/70Wood)

"Holy snap, Batman!" Red exclaimed as the walls rose up, separating the combatants. "Looks like we'll have to rush this job," she commented as she observed her surroundings.

"Well, we have Greaveman on our side for the moment, let's make use of it," Shin advised, slotting in some chips. "IceZone, Areagrab, Elecsword, let's go!" the operator ordered as he sent his navi the chips.

"Yessir! Greaveman, go show those walls some massive hurt!" the crimson crusader yelped, pointing excitedly toward the walls.

"I see, so it shall be done. Take this! Flurry Kick!" Greaveman bellowed as he charged toward the Walls, legs rising in a combative position as he let loose a barrage of kicks at the wall, attempting to severely damage them.

"My turn! Time for a bit of scenery change!" the red-caped wonder called as she slammed her palm onto the ground, spreading out a sheet of ice over the ground toward the viruses. With that done, the wind navi let out a little giggle as she disappeared in an instant, emerging again behind the viruses in her allocated area, what seemed to be a highly modified flashlight in her right hand. The red-cloaked navi grinned, flicking the ON switch, which instantly produced a crackling blade of plasma to erupt from the opening of the handle.

"Just like those old sci-fi movies. It's kind of classy," Shin commented, snacking down on some potato chips.

"Hrah!" Red cried out, slashing furiously at the viruses, hoping to clear them all in one sweep of her blade. The icy terrain under her feet gleamed excitedly at her attack, lending some natural power to her blow.

The crimson crusader slid back, eye trained on the pillar in her area. Without any second thought, the navi dashed across the ice toward the pillar, arm drawn back, air crackling with electricity. She had it timed down, or so she hoped, and so she swung with all her might at the pillar, attempting to cleave it in two, making the construction see the last of its days. Her blade wandered, its attack path cracking a blow at the Walls as well in the range of the swing. All would be well, hopefully.

The wind picked up from the netscape, swirling gently around Red's feet, ready to have her tossed out of the way of any attacks if need be.

Greaveman's Actions:
1. Flurry Kick at Walls [50 DMG]

Turn Summary:
1. IceZone to encompass SpikeyA, SpookyA, MetoolA [Create Medium Range Ice Terrain, centered on Red]

*Gust: Dodge

((I began 3 posts 3 times and for some reason ended up losing them each time... Will just do it in one go))

Splitman grumbled to himself over the situation ahead of him, his enemies were all around him and they wouldn't leave him the hell alone..
"If all the pillars go down maybe this can work-out" he shouted to the group before gripping the afore mentioned pillar with steely claws working together in unison. He hefted and lifted the object, swinging it in a wide arch across the surrounding Virii.
"How do you like that!?" He shouted, angry for some trivial reason.

As he finished swinging the pillar his arm transformed into a cannon, firing his other transformed limb at the last remaining foe. Silently he cursed at how much doing that hurt.

Summary:
RageClawx2+Focused Power(+20): Grab Pillar, swing local virii
Cannon(40): Fire RageClaw at SpikeyC

DruidMan prepared his Magnum missiles to maximize his targeting area and fires, the missiles quickly streak towards their targets and explode. One vaporizes a Spikey virus, the second crumples against the wall and falls away harmlessly, and the third reduces the pillar to dust and smoke.

As soon as the pillar was destroyed, the walls shook as white veins of light branched through the walls and severely weakening its structure. DruidMan throws his boomerang, which cleaves a Metool in twain. The boomerang continues on its course and turns back to Druidman. Unfortunately, the turn was too wide and caused the boomerang to bounce off the wall and leaving it sliding on the floor back to Druidman.

The Spooky watches inquisitively before setting its eerie stare back to Druidman and disappearing. The wood element Navi swings around, trying to predict where the Spooky virus would re-appear. Druidman turns back again to meet the Spooky a few inches from his face. Druidman makes a face of prepared disgust as the Spooky licks him with its slightly acidic tongue.

As Druidman prepared his missile volley, Greaveman attacked the wall in accordance to Red Riding Hood's commands. His kicks soar through the air incredibly fast but his movements looked so relaxed. His greaves pounded the wall, leaving nothing but a few scratches. He steps back from the wall, looks back to the spot he kicked and chuckled.

Quite an impressive program, Vengeance. That is why I enjoy working with you.

Vengeances voice echoes past the wall.

Thank you, Greaveman. You people better hurry up, I am getting bored.

Vengeances body tightens up and starts to emanate a dark aura as he gathers power. He raises his arms in front of him, fists tightened. The area above each of the three "cages" become distorted, then black bolts of energy discharge circle the area. Three fists appear above each enclosure, identical to Vengeances own. Vengeance opens his hands, palms down; and the large hands do the same. The palms of each hand open with a dull hum and a large triple barreled chain cannon slides down from each palm, sticking a few feet from the massive hands.

Red Riding Hood strikes the ground, turning most of the floor in her area to ice. Before the viruses could spread out and attack, Red Riding Hood warps in behind them and slashes with an electrified sword; boosted by the highly conductive frozen water floor. She then swings the sword once more at the pillar, slicing it in half.

Though the pillar was covered in stone, it was secured to the floor by a metal core to power the wall. The current travels down the metal shaft and into the floor below, jolting Red Riding Hood with a powerful current of electricity. Greaveman also received a good shock, causing his metal greaves to crackle as the current coursed through his body. The streaks of white light glow larger and cover more of the wall like a quickly built spider's web.

Splitman immediately goes to the pillar and sinks his claws into it. He tears it from the ground and prepares to give the viruses a clobbering of a lifetime, but the strain on the pillar is too great, and it crumbles in his hands. Splitman quickly abandons his plan and picks out the Spikey virus. With an interesting way of incorporating two battlechips, he launches his clawed hand at the spikey with the help of a cannon round. The claw rakes across the Spikey's hide, leaving deep lacerations and throwing the virus into a panic.

Seeing this, the Spooky gives some of its energy to the Spikey and heals it a little. The Metool takes the opportunity to attack, sending a shock wave that nearly knocks Splitman off his feet.

The white light completely permeates the wall since all three pillars were destroyed. The wall comes crashing down, revealing Vengeance charging up his attack. Vengeance was more than aware that the walls were destroyed, and drops his arms back to his sides. The three shadow hands slowly vanish into the air, leaving a fine black dust in its place. Vengeance turns to the four Navis as his mouth twists into a sinister grin.

Now... Show no mercy, for you will not receive any from me.

ATTACK INTERUPPTED. TIME LIMIT LIFTED

"Argh~!" Red screamed out in pain as the Pillar shocked her and Greaveman. Smoke rose from the crimson crusader's body as an aftereffect of the shock. Crackles of electricity bounced around the wind navi's figure as she stood, panting hard, hand and sword on knees.

"Red! Are you all right?" Shin cried out in concern for his navi. When she didn't respond, the netop shook the computer screen shouting, "Red? Red! Snap out of it!" What he didn't notice, however, was that one program had just activated due to the electrical attack.

"Hold on! I'm sending you a Recovery chip! Grah, what sort of stone pillar conducts electricity?" Shin complained, slotting-in the Recovery80.

A green light washed over the red-caped wonder, and the program activated earlier took immediate effect.

The residual electricity crackling around the red-cloaked navi increased in frequency as a white light shot up from the netscape's floor, engulfing the fairy tale character completely.

"Whoa! A Cross? I don't remember activating anything..." the self-proclaimed Ace Netbattler mused as he watched his navi transform.

"Mwehehehehehe! The White Blood Cell V2 of the Net is baaaaack!" Red, now in DNRCross, announced maniacally. She twirled the Elecsword, now emanating a purple color of electricity, dangerously as she eyed Vengeance. The nurse's irises shifted around crazily as she spoke again, "Well, well, someone in need of vaccination? I've got juuuust the thing. Sit tight darling! Mother Goose is going to read you some nursery rhymes!"

"What... should I do?" Greaveman pondered as he watched the new White Blood Cell, brandishing her plasma scalpel, charge toward Vengeance.

"Greaveman, can you... try to hold Vengeance down?" Shin asked, something coming up to him.

"My power lies with my feet, but, I shall try!" Greaveman grunted, dashing with incredible speed toward Vengeance, attempting to arrive faster than Red, and pin the enemy in a tight armlock.

"Old Mother Goose,
When she wanted to wander,
Would ride through the air
On a very fine gander.

Jack's mother came in,
And caught the goose soon,
And mounting its back,
Flew up to the moon!" so Red sang as she swiftly attacked Vengeance close-range with her Elecsword, slashing left and right, before coming to a halt and humming another tune as she spun around wildly, using her newly acquired sword finesse to try moving out of the way of an incoming attack.

"The personality is... kind of erratic..." Shin commented, chomping down on an onigiri, remembering Red's robot-like state when she last performed this Cross.

((Waiting for your posts, SpaceMonkeySteve and RoboTek.))

((I have this bad habit of trying to be last, it is a bad habit because so many others have it too))

Splitman grumbled at his own tremendous intellectuality. "What the hell does a guy have to do to beat someone to death with a piece of stone" He muttered to himself. All of his actions were ineffective, Every BLOODY thing....

A new bomb materialized in from above, Chad must have gotten him some sort of new toy. He tossed it disdainfully to the side at the enemy group, expecting an explosion but instead finding a shockwave of electricity rebound all around him.

"Got another new one for you" He heard a voice say from above, Split prepared to fire only to find that it was just an old Ringlog, not that it wouldn't do the job, but it was somewhat anti-climatic. The piece of wood tumbled towards the group of enemies, engulfed shortly after by a burst of flame. The heatshot might not have been a good weapon, but dammit if it wasn't a staple.

Splitman flexed his arm in frustration, but attacking his foes with a flaming massive log was small relief.

Ringlog1(50, Wood): Group C

((Lazy post!))

Druidman patted some of the dust off of him, and let out a cough. "Whoa, dude, cave in." he mumbled as he tried to regain his bearings. He saw Red Cross and charge into the fray with the other Navi, and watched Splitman engage the leftover viruses from his enclosure. Not wanting to risk taking a long shot and hitting one of his allies, he drew his scimitar. "Power it up, Steve, my man!"

"Righto!" Steve replied cheerfully, slotting in the chip he wanted.

Druidman's scimitar exploded into flames, and he held it aloft past his chest. "Hang on, chickadee!" he yelled as he took a quick stab at the last virus by him, and then he was off, bolting towards Vengeance, ready to help get into the swordfight.

Greaveman dashes towards Vengeance as Red Riding Hood heals up and prepares her Elecsword. In the background, DruidMan advances on a Spooky and dispatches it with a swift Firesword attack. Greaveman charges Vengeance, hands ready to hold him in place for Red’s oncoming attack. Vengeance doesn’t move an inch as Greaveman rapidly moves in.

Heh.

Greaveman arms reach around Vengeance to quickly tighten into a crushing vice. With a small swishing sound, Vengeance blurs past Greaveman to leave him nothing but empty air to grab. Greaveman falls forward, hitting the floor and sliding to a stop. Red Riding Hood comes into range and attacks with a fast left slash. Vengeance’s right hand palms her sword, forcing her swing downwards while his left hand drives her over his head. Vengeance’s turns and his right arm snaps into position to Red Riding Hood. Three energy projectiles burst from his hand in rapid succession and hurl towards the airborne (and wildly tumbling) Red Riding Hood. The first strikes her shoulder and the other two harmlessly punch holes in her nurse gown. Vengeance drops his arm and coldly calls out to Red Riding Hood.

Too predictable. Make me second-guess myself!

Red Riding Hood re-orients herself and lightly touches down. Absorbed by her rising aggravation and slight psychosis, she turns back to Vengeance to give him a slash across the chest. Red Riding Hood hadn’t completely lost it, she noticed DruidMan coming in from behind Vengeance with his fire-imbued scimitar. DruidMan sees Red and slashes at Vengeance at about the same time as his nurse-ified comrade. Vengeance thrusts both arms out in both directions and emitting a small energy shield in each hand. The two blades strike the shields and bounce away harmlessly.

You thought I wouldn’t be able to fend off two attackers at once?

Red Riding Hood jumps away as Vengeance’s left hand shield dissipates and his palm spews a multitude of energy shots. Red gets out of range quickly enough to effectively dodge the barrage. DruidMan is undeterred by the shield and strikes again, shattering the shield and following with a third and final slash across Vengeance’s chest.

Vengeance jumps back and grins. These Navis have potential; they just need to capitalize on their greatest asset. Vengeance glances upon Splitman as he stuns the small remaining group of viruses and finishes them off with a flaming rolling log. With the final viruses steamrolled by incendiary foliage, Vengeance is the only opponent left.

There are four of you, aren't there? Come at me! Hold nothing back!!!

Vengeance's hands clench into fists and begin to ripple with orange waves of energy riddled with black electrical bolts. His eyes meet on the four Navis under his dark blue visor; Vengeance's body tightens and prepares himself, his hands practically exploding with energy.
