Got a problem? Need Help?

[Sparkexe]

OOC: That's cool. But I've been reluctant to add my own developments because I was worried I might send the storyline down a track that shoots the RP to hell. Kinda like when I had Shan hiding out in the Sharo Underne. To me it threw things off a little too much.

*meanwhile, the duo are scouring a nearby alley for a "spare key" to the building*

Nathan: ...No rock, no nothing.

Moe: Yeah, I couldn't even find a heavy enough trash can.

Nathan: We've come too far to just call it quits because of some stupid lock. Let's keep looking.

*meanwhile, a little ways down the street...*

Chaufer: ...I must say Master Terry, your recovery has been remarkable.

Terry: *in a wheelchair* Still, when I get my hands on that "gorilla", I'm gonna make him sorry he was ever born!

Chaufer: Take it easy, sir. Let's just shop for a new PET for you, and then you can get your vengeance.

Nathan: ...Hang on Moe. I'm gonna need an extra pair of hands for this.

*Nathan quickly run towards Terry*

Terry: AHHH! Wh-what do you want? I haven't done nothing yet! Jeeves! Get them away from me!

Nathan: *punches Jeeves in the back of the head, knocking him out* Put a sock in it. You may not know it, but you're gonna stop a WWW agent.

*Nathan rolls a protesting Terry to the Administration building. Then Nathan and Moe lift Terry and his wheelchair off the ground and toss him through the window, breaking the glass and setting off alarms in the building*

Nathan: So much for stealth. *grabs a metal arm from the now-broken wheel chair and tears the padding off*

Moe: Well if they didn't spot us now, they would've found us later.

Nathan: I guess. *opens a door* Is this where Ami is?

Dr. Docman: Ahhh! The intruders have-

*before Docman can finish, Nathan konks him in the head with his wheel chair arm club, knocking him out. Nathan then reaches into Docman's coat pocket and takes his Zenny chips*

Nathan: ...Maybe she's in the next room.

[Commander Sazabi]

Pharon:(runs up to nathan and moe) Damn flight planner. Well I'm here but a little late by the case that I got the late flight from Ocenopia.

[Drillman]

Sorry for the big delay. It was partly because I've had to catch up on homework, and partly because I wanted to find, scan, and upload the pics of the characters I introduced to this RP.

www.deviantart.com/deviation/14881392/ - Scuzzy
www.deviantart.com/deviation/14881568/ - Shan and Ami
www.deviantart.com/deviation/14881766/ - Docman, yes, that's the guy you just knocked out with a single blow.

I didn't have any problem with you putting Shan where the Black Earth hole was. I actually found that pretty easy to roll with. I actually had no idea where the info was going to lead us myself, so the Sharo Undernet was as good a place as any.

Although turning Docman into a disposable peon wasn't what I had in mind. Oh well, this just moves things along faster.

Moe: How the hell did you knock that guy out so easily? He's like twice your size, and it looks like his head is made of metal.

Nathan: I'm just that good. Take it from me, hitting things in just the right way solves all of life's problems.

Pharon: Hey Moe! Fonzie! There's a bunch of loose cables leading downstairs.

Moe: Alright, time to finish this.

*meanwhile, Scuzzy sees what happens on the security monitor*

Scuzzy: ...there goes our brick wall.

*Scuzzy's PET bleeps and his navi Jet appears on the screen.*

Jet: Yo, look what I got! One Megabyte of Darkness for the boilers, will it be enough?

Scuzzy: It better be! We have to be out of here in five minutes ago! Ami, go up and stall them. Please don't go down as pitifully quick as Doc did, alright?

*Ami evil-eyes her partner for doubting her abilities*

Scuzzy: Don't give me that look. You're just as frustrated at I am by these last minute complications. Now just go. If we can get Vector started up then we can leave it on its own and they won't be able to stop it. Then all we have to do is high-tail it out of here.

*Scuzzy is furiously tapping away at his keyboard as Ami leaves to confront the intruders. Scuzzy brings up a comm window linking to the vastly transformed Koto Square.*

Scuzzy: Boss, looks like we're finally ready to go. You'd better get to the Driver's seat.

[Sparkexe]

Sweet, kickass pics as usual, Rai. But as for Docman...yeah you're right that one hit KO won't do. Somehow, I missed the part describing him as a big guy, so I thought he was more of pushover than he was. Nobody's perfect. I'll make it a bit more dramatic and realistic when I post it on the site. Even though Nathan's rapidly becoming the Nelson Muntz of the team, there's no way he could've taken Mongo down in one hit.

IC:

*back at the ranch, Team Discovery Channel makes its way through the corridors downstairs*

Pharon: So what do you think these guys are gonna do with this Vector thingie? We know they ain't gonna start some ma-and-pa darkchip store with it.

Nathan: Seeing as these are WWW agents, it's probably just their latest hare-brained, "Blow-up the Earth" scheme. Not that it matters. All we need to know is that they're up to no good, that we gotta whump the shit out of them, and that we're getting paid for it.

Spark Man.exe: *to himself* You mean we WOULD be getting paid.

????: Halt!

Moe: Now what?

Guard: *stepping out from around a corner* This is a restricted area!

Guard 2: *stepping out from around the same corner* We won't let you-

Nathan: *clubs the guards in the kneecaps, then in the back of the head* Haw! Haw! *grabs their zenny chips*

Pharon: What the hell were they guarding?

*the team rounds the corner and come across a door that reads, "Server Room"*

Nathan: *enters the room with Moe* I think we're getting warm.

Pharon: *steps into the room and tries the door at the other end* Hey! This door's locked! What gives!?

Moe: *tries the door they came in from* Same here. Looks like they were waiting for us.

Nathan: The bright side is that the doors seem to be electronically locked, and we couldn't be in a better place to find a program to open them.

Moe: Sigh...I don't like it, but what choice do we got? Jack in! Drill Man.exe! Transmit!

*without hesitation, Nathan and Pharon follow suit, and Wind Man and Drill Man find themselves in the server's network*

Wind Man: Let's make this quick. We don't have time to screw around with this crap. But where's Spark Man?

Spark Man: *cloaked* Relax, I'm around. Just thought this would be best since we're behind enemy lines.

Drill Man: Yeah, we should probably spit up so we can find-

*before Drill Man can finish, a whip lashes out at Wind Man and Drill Man*

Shan: *steps out from her hiding place* Took you losers long enough. You ain't gonna have the same-

*as Shan's gloating over her opponents, a spark mine hits her from behind*

Spark Man: *reappears* I've been waiting eons to do that!
#nosmileys

[Drillman]

*Drillman quickly runs up and knocks her down with a DrillArm, but she quickly recovers*

Drillman: So what's Wily up to now anyway?

Shan: What, you didn't hear? He's in prison. Rumour has it he's a mindless vegetable too.

Drillman: Don't give me that crap. You're still wearing the W3 logo.

Pharon: So was that guy that met us at the door.

Moe: And you guys managed to shut down an entire sector of the net and made it look like Government maintenace without arousing suspicion from the Government itself. You can't possibly be organizing all that by yourself.

Shan: *turns invisible to avoid the attacks but continues talking* Yeah? Well let me tell you what Wily's goals are. He wants to destroy the world. We have a bit of a problem with that considering we live on the world. My colleagues and I figured out you would have to be insane to follow that nutcase. So we abandoned the WWW to form our own group while Wily and his other operatives were distracted with that N1 Grand Prix fiasco. That was just a few months before those morons got canned for good, so we obviously made the right choice.

*while Shan is talking, Sparkman discreetly tells his cohorts to cover their eyes*

Sparkman: SparkWave! *he creates a wide field of electricity in the direction of Shan's voice. The wave misses her, but the light from it cancels out her invisibilty and blinds her.*

Shan: Ugh! Fine, two can play at that game. Smokebomb! *She throws a bomb on the ground that quickly fills the area with thick smoke*

Windman: Did you really expect that to work? *He creates a strong wind that cleans the field of the smoke. Shan is already missing when it clears.*

Drillman: Gah!

*The other two turn and see Drillman wrapped in Shan's whip and caught in a chokehold by Shan herself, who found her target despite still being blind.*

Shan: Drillman? Oh great, I was hoping to catch someone with a neck I could snap. No matter.

*Shan swings the wrapped-up Drillman around her head like a mace.*

Shan: You want some? Come and get it!

Drillman: Damnit! Get me out of here! *Desperately starts up the drill on his head. While he's being swung around he creates a wormhole in mid-air and shoots through it. He's about to carry Shan with him, but she releases the whip.*

Shan: (Great. Just have to stall a little longer)

[Sparkexe]

*while Shan was being hauled off, Spark Man reappeared to use an aluminium stage Nathan downloaded, turning the ground to extremely conductive aluminium panels. He then promptly cloaks himself as Nathan downloads another chip.*

Shan: Ooooh, very tricky Spark. *rolls her eyes* That blinding shtick of yours isn't permanent you know.

Ami: Yeah. Why don't we make the terrain a little more "you"? *downloads a grass stage*

Spark Man: *reappears and pelts Shan with a magbomb 3, paralyzing her* Oh yeah, like I'd give you a chance to do that! *disappears*

Nathan: *downloading a rock cube and a bolt chip* Yeah, you clods aren't the hot stuff you think you are. So you're not out to nuke the Earth, eh? Whatever. You're still out to either rule the Earth, corrupt the Earth, impregnate the Earth, or something lame like that, just like the other failed WWW-ish joints were.

Spark Man: *reappears, and places a rock cube* Face it, you're just the next chumps in the long line of-

Shan: *cuts off Spark Man by jabbing him with a lance, now free of the paralysis* What was that you were saying by not giving me a chance? Yeesh, save it till AFTER you delete me you dipshit. *ensnares Spark with her whip*

Drill Man: *pops out of his wormhole with two other drills and dashes into her* Why wait?

Shan: AGGGHH! *lets go of her whip* Fortissmo, don't YOU start with that kind of crap now! *reaches for her whip*

Wind Man: Why not? *fires off a barrage of propeller bombs*

Shan: *grabs her whip and gracefully leaps over the bombs* You're gonna have to do better than that! *lashes at Wind Man*

Spark Man: How's this? *uses a bolt on the rock cube and disappears*

[Drillman]

*The Lightning Bolt streaked down from the sky towards the cube, then suddenly veered straight towards Shan, or rather where Shan was standing. She had disappeared and a LightningRod stood in her place. The Bolt charged the Rod up instantly, allowing it to releases a powerful electric shock accross the platform. All three navis were floored by the shock, then Shan re-appeared as her trap chip vanished.*

Moe: A last desperate attempt at survival no doubt. We have her on the ropes and she knows it. *downloads a Recovery chip to undo the AntiElec damage*

*Pharon uses a Recov300 and Sparkman uses another Totem. The navis regain their composure and surround Shan who's beginning to show signs of exhaustion.*

Shan: Well what are you waiting for?

Windman: Not so confident any more, are you? *charges at her with his Fuujin Racket*

Shan: Actually, I am!

*Shan easily dodges his assault and is about to counter-attack with a charged-up whip attack, but is paralyzed by a small SparkShock from Sparkman. Windman then unexpectedly turns his Racket on Sparkman's RockCube. The gust from the Racket slides the Cube into Shan's back, knocking her onto her knees. She quickly srings to her feet, but at the exact instant she does, Drillman is in front of her with a DrillArm3 powered up with four AttackPlus chips. With the StoneCube still in tact behind her, the force from the Drill pressed her against the edge, causing her to take continuous damage from the spinning Drill. Shan screamed in agony as the Drill went right through her torso and pulverized the Cube. By the time the attack was complete, Shan had exploded in deletion.*

Drillman: Finally, vengeance never felt so satisfying.

Sparkman: Woah, you have no problem hitting women I see. That's gotta be one of the messiest deletions I've ever seen, and I've fought those Slimey viruses that busrt like water balloons when you hit them with Elec attacks.

Drillman: Heh, well it helps when you think of her not as a woman, but as a bitch. Now let's jack out. Looks like everything turned out all-

*A sudden loud rumbling cuts off Drillman's jinxing victory speech.*

OS Voice: Modem Online. Transference Initiated. Download Sequence Set. Vector Virus Activated.

*The trio had been jacked in to a small terminal representing the programming for the electronic door lock. It was a standard single, large, square-shaped platform set on a standard boring wallpaper backdrop. But as the computer voice finished its announcement, that backdrop appeared to tear away to reveal a much larger network that appeared to be the main Internet. All around them, similar standard square platforms were appearing in the sky, all surrounding a large dark, floating structure that seemed to resemble a NetSquare, only drastically altered with unique-looking hardware. The square platforms were being drawn towards the central Tower by some kind of magnetic force.*

Drillman: Um....yeah...Well, I still say we Jack out. Moe?....Moe?

Ami: (Appearing through a holographic window in the middle of the platform) They can't hear you now. Heh heh heh. Welcome to your new home. You were right that we were out to rule the world. But in a way we're also destorying it just as Wily would have wanted. The Vector Virus is what used to be Kotobuki Square, but we've turned it into our BattleShip of Conquest. It will sweep straight accross the Internet, hacking onto any electrical system, even those without normal Internet access, and downloading those systems into itself. We're making a new Internet under our control, one that no human can access, except for the Life Force!

Sparkman: What? That doesn't make any kind of sense. It's impossible.

Ami: It's the Power of Darkness! Now it's a shame Shan couldn't last just a few more seconds against you, but there are a few other Navis on our team that would like a piece of you. *Ami pointed her thumb behind her, a gesture that made no sense from her location in the real world, but based on her image on the screen, she was pointing to the Tower behind her where two navis had emerged and were flying towards their platform. The navis were Planetman and Jet.* Good Luck. Without operators, you'll need it! Hah! *her window disappears*

Windman: Well this is just great. Do we stand a chance?

Sparkman: Well, Ami obviously has a way of connecting to this place, and she's not far from where Nathan and the others are. So as long as the fleshbags can get to her in time, we should be able to kick ass and get out of here.

Drillman: So now we just have to last that long...

*Meanwhile in the real world, the fleshbags are trying to find out why their PETs are all staticy.*

Moe: Even if our navis disappear, we should at least be able to scan the system. It's like it's not even there any more.

Pharon: Hey, the light on the door panel went out... I guess it's not there any more.

Nathan: Figures. Their master plan must have blown a fuse or something. I guess this means the door is unlocked. *tries the doorknob, it turns* Right, what security geniuses these guys are.

*Nathan is about to open the door so they can walk in, but the door suddenly bursts off its hinges and shoots Nathan into the opposite wall. Ami is standing on the other side with her foot in the air, having just finished kicking the door off into Nathan. Scuzzy is behind her wearing a heavy-looking backback with antennae sticking out of it and holding his PET.*

Scuzzy: Alright, you clear the path, I'll take care of the navis.

Shan: Hey Moe, you're here to take me on, right? Well now's you're chance!

Moe: Yes it is. *assumes a Karate fighting stance. (Of the Raijin Karate school)*

Nathan: (Peeling himself off the wall) Ohhh no you didn't bitch. Nobody sucker-doors me and gets away with it.

[Sparkexe]

Nathan: *cracks his knuckles* Okay bitch time for you-

*before Nathan could finish, Moe let loose with a spinning kick at Ami. However, she expertly blocks it and manages to nail him with her own kick. Unfazed Moe quickly regains his senses and lets loose into her with a raijin punch to the gut*

Nathan: ...Oh right. She can defend herself. That's no fun. It takes the key out of my strategy. And I think dropped my club when she broke down the door. But there's gotta be someone who's not a lummox or a Ms. Jackie Chan.

*as if on cue, Nathan's gaze falls squarely on Scuzzy, who's looking more and more pummel-able by the second with his with his scrawny build and big heavy backpack. Grinning like a shark, Nathan takes a few steps back, and charges full tilt at Scuzzy, slamming into him with a good deal of force*

Scuzzy: *stumbles back* Hey! Go after Ami! Not ME!! *punches Nathan*

Nathan: Oh shut up and take it like a cheerleader.

*Nathan uppercuts Scuzzy in the jaw, knocking out a few teeth, and causing him to drop his PET. Seizing the opportunity, Nathan gleefully raises his foot over Jet's PET, intending to crush it beneath his shoes. But before he can, Scuzzy kicks the PET to one side and gets his foot stomped on hard*

Scuzzy: Agh!! What's the big idea?! You're the one of the "heroes" around here! Go after the "villain" already! *socks Nathan in the stomach*

Nathan: *staggers back, but recovers* I'm no hero. I just like hitting people on the head.

*Nathan delivers a solid one-two combo to the face and kidneys, forcing Scuzzy to his knees in agony. He then quickly takes off Scuzzy's back pack while he's still dazed*

Nathan: Now this is gonna look good in my dorm! *runs back over to his PET with the backpack*

Pharon: The hell is that?

Nathan: Can't say for sure. But I think these little switches here that say, "Jamming Frequency" might be the root of our problem. *flicks the switches off*

*meanwhile, in cyberworld*

Jet: What the hell? Where the frig did Scuzzy go?

Wind Man.exe: Don't worry about that.

Pharon: Worry about this! *downloads chips along with Nathan*

*Planet Man and Jet find themselves reeling towards Wind Man as he activates his vacuum fan. He then lands a mighty hit on both navis with a Fujin racket, sending them both reeling. Meanwhile, Spark Man fires an arrow 3 at Jet and a Mag bomb 3 at Planet Man before cloaking himself*

Spark Man: I knew you were good for something!

Pharon: Yeah, but it looks there are more controls on it. What do they do?

Nathan: *downloads another chip* Good question, I'll-

Scuzzy: *crawls up and grabs the backpack* Give it back to me!

Nathan: *yanks the backpack away from Scuzzy and kicks him in the stomach* C'mon, I took down Frankenstein two minutes ago. You don't think I can't take you down either?

*While Nathan and Scuzzy go back into beating each other senseless for the backpack, Spark Man fires off another arrow 3 at Planet Man while Wind Man summons a flock of birds that attack Jet*

Spark Man: It was too good to last. *cloaks himself*

[Drillman]

*Planetman has summoned several planets to attack Windman with.*

Planetman: Mars Fire! *his red planet shoots a stream of flame* Neptune Flood! *the blue planet creates an AquaTower* Rings of Saturn! *the yellow planet launches a ZapRing* Breath of the Earth! *the green planet glows, and Planetman starts healing*

*Windman twists throw the air, avoiding the various attacks as well as gunfire from a tiny spaceshipprotesting Planetman. Just as Planet thinks he has his target on the run, he's struck from behind by several charged Drill Missiles.*

Drillman: Looks like you should have kept an eye on Uranus!

Planetman: I...am...SO...SICK...OF THAT JOKE! BLACK HOLE!

*Planetman's torso changes black, just like when he was absorbing the energy at the Dark Hole. Next thing Drillman knows, the dierction "down" has changed to the direction Planetman is in. Drillman converts to Drill Mode and flies straight "up", but the gravitational pull is too strong and he's being pulled quickly into Planetman's void.*

Drill: Urgh...you're not the only one who can screw with spatial dynamics. *Drillman pushes forward with all his strength and drills through a wormhole just one panel away from Planet. In a moment, three other wormholes open up, surrounding Planetman on all sides. Each wormhole connects directly to the other ones, so the force of the Black Hole pulls back on itself from the other sides of the wormholes.*

Planetman: Wha-what's happening?! I'm being ripped apart!! AgghhHH!

*At that point the conflicting forces of the "five" Black Holes cancel each other out, resulting in a powerful explosion that destroys the wormholes in the process. Drillman is thrown clear from the explosion and lands in a heap at the edge of the platform closest to Vector. The head, arms, and legs of Planetman land on the ground where his torso exploded.*

Planetman's Head: What...just happened?

Windman: Drillman! Are you alright?

Drillman: Ergh...ow...yeah, just peachy. I won't be flying or making wormholes for a while though.

*meanwhile, in the real world*

Moe: Thunder Fist of Tiger! Hiyah!

Ami: Dragon Kick of Moon! Hwah!

Pharon: You two are totally making those attack names up, aren't you?

Moe: *trying to escape from a chokehold* Shouldn't you be helping Nathan get control of the device in the bag?

Pharon: Oh yeah! *turns around, sees Nathan and Scuzzy still grappling. The bag is sitting forgotten at their feet.* Well, that's easy. *grabs the bag*

Windman: Pharon, a little help?

Pharon: Oh right, four chips, coming at ya.

Windman: Blizzard! HeatBreath! ElecShock! WoodPowder! *destroys the planets and the spaceship* Whew, okay, Sparkman is taking care of the flying navi and Drillman and Planetman are incapacitated for now. What should I do?

Pharon: Why don't you start by telling me where you are, and what's going on?

Windman: Oh yeah. We're in "Vector", it's a system-sized battleship that's basically absorbing the whole cyberworld into itself. it seems to be going pretty slowly though.

Pharon: How's it doing that now?

Windman: Don't ask me to explain it, but apparently it can transmit itself accross the internet and hack into nearby systems even if they don't have internet access.

Pharon: Transmitting, eh? Well, it has to be transmitting from something...*notices the label on the device in the backpack, it says "Transmitter"* Well, that's easy...again!

*Pharon grabs Nathan's discarded club. Ami and Scuzzy take notice.*

Scuzzy: Hey! Stop! What do you think you're doing?

Pharon: Ending it, right here and now! *throws the backpack against the wall and then beats heavily with the club. Smoke pours out of the bag.*

Ami: You idiot! Do you realize what you've done?

Pharon: yeah, I smashed the thing you were transmitting your "Vector" thing with.

Scuzzy: No, you destroyed the thing we were transmitting TO Vector with. Vector is a part of the Internet now, it transmits itself. That was the only thing we could connect to it with!

Ami: All you did was prevent Scuzzy and I from communicating with our associates in the cyberworld.

Nathan: But if it's part of the net, can't we just connect to it through a regular Jack-In point?

Scuzzy: Vector has a built-in transmission blocker. As soon as it gets anywhere NEAR a system, the humans get locked out and the navis get locked in. Only our transmitter was allowed through. That's how we were to ensure it was unstoppable.

Moe: Unstoppable from the outside, maybe. But our navis are still inside. They'll put a stop to it.

Ami: Pfft. In your dreams, maybe. There's no way your three measly navis are strong enough to stop the boss.

Moe: They didn't have much trouble against your navis, did they? I'm sure they'll be just fine finishing this on their own. In the meantime, I believe I wasn't finished kicking your ass. *throws off his jacket and launches another punch at Ami. She blocks it.*

Ami: Our plan is going to hell, and I'm sending you with it!

Sorry for the extra long post. I thought it would be a small plot development, but it turned into a big one. I'm out of ideas now though, so it should be nothing but action and intrigue up to the ending. Oh, and if you want to introduce the "Boss" in the next post, it's the Life Virus, surprise surprise. He's the same as in BN1 only he can talk and is a little stronger.

[Sparkexe]

Yeah, and he has that syringe that reprograms navis, right? At least he did way back when Shan and Ami joined the WWW in your chronicle on AXE.

Scuzzy: *kicks Nathan in the head and grabs Jet's PET* You guys think you can take down the big man? You guys are batshit-

Nathan: *gets up and hurls the busted transmitter at Scuzzy, knocking him out* Bullshit. But you guys can say with a straight face that you aren't the WWW, and yet you have the same outfits, the Lifevirus, and more or less the same desires? Like hell I'm gonna let the world be taken over by something you doofuses made.

Pharon: *fiddling with his PET* Nathan! Little help over here?

Nathan: I'm coming!

*Nathan grabs Scuzzy's battle and Zenny chips, and hurls Jet's PET at Ami. However, Ami easily catches it with a free hand*

Ami: Spiralling Red Phoenix kick! *does a powerful spinning kick that knocks Moe prone on the floor*

Pharon: Wait, are you sure you're not making these names up? You just called that same move the Dragon Kick of the Moon a few minutes ago.

Ami: *ignores Pharon and turns to Nathan* Is that the best you could come up with? How the hell did someone like you beat Docman?

Nathan: Actually kinda like this.

*Nathan throws the busted transmitter at Ami. But she effortlessly flips over the transmitter and lands in front of Nathan. She performs a Wolf's Fang punch that Nathan just barely dodges*

Ami: Aww, is blondie all afwaid now that he's outta things to throw?

Nathan: Nope. Just distracting ya so Moe could recover, come up behind ya and nail ya. Take that for nailing me with a door.

Moe: *grabs Ami, and whirls her around* Snake Blitz! *lands a deciding blow to Ami's head, knocking her out*

Pharon: Oh come on! That was the same as the Thunder Fist of the Tiger! You two had to be making those names up!

Moe: Quiet.

Pharon: Whatever. Anyway, I could sure use some help over here!

Nathan: *grabs Ami's Zenny and battle chips* Oh right! So what did I miss?

Pharon: Well, I was able to attune our PET's to the frequency of the transmitter while you and Moe were busy. So, we still should be able to operate our navis.

Nathan: *mocking Ami's tone* B-but-but the transmitter's the only we communicate with our associates in Vector! *in a normal tone* Yeah, a bunch of morons to the bitter end.

Spark Man: *fires a spark mine at Jet* Yeah, other than that, just the usual. Anyway it's about time we destroyed this thing now that brainchildren behind it are toasted.

Nathan: Yeah. We oughta be able to find the core to this thing pretty easily now that Round Boy's in pieces, and that TWA Man.exe's all but incapacitated. Where do you think it is?

Wind Man: Maybe we should ask that big ugly, spiky, clawed guy with the wires coming out of him over there. He's the reason why Pharon's been trying to get your attention.

Moe: Ah, I should've known. Life Virus!

Life Virus: Hello. I gotta give you some credit. I wasn't expecting you fools to show up. I would've thought Moe would've brought his idiotic Net Guardians or at least his old Official buddies. But no matter. It's about to be as right as rain in a few minutes.

*Life Virus points to to a viewscreen that shows the Electown Square starting to be absorbed into Vector*

Life Virus: Can't be anymore right than that! Did you honestly think you stopped something by deleting Shan and crippling everyone else? Navis like these fools *gestures to Jet and Planet Man* are a dime a dozen. Just join me; ya might make a worthy addition to the Life Force. You'll do better than these fools did.

Drill Man: *picks himself* Fat chance! You're not gonna win this time!

Life Virus: Heh heh heh! I'm terribly sorry. Did I make it sound like I was asking?

*Life Virus impales Spark and Wind with a pair of syringes. Spark and Wind wince in pain initially, but then walk over to Drill and surround him, looking blankly down at him*

Drill Man: No...Don't make me do this. Not again.

Wind Man: It's not as bad as you think...

Spark Man: Yeah, don't be so hard on yourself.

*Before Drill can get to his feet, Spark and Wind take action. Spark Man gives Drill Man a recover 200 while Wind Man attacks a barrage of birds, which do no damage, and very litte against Life Virus's aura*

Life Virus: This can't be! No navi's resistant to that virus!

Spark Man: We're not. But that syringe of yours went right THROUGH us, ya moron. Here's what you did end up infecting, and a lot of good it did. *points to purple-stained panels behind him* If it makes you feel any better, it hurt like hell!

Drill Man: *staggers to his feet and uses a north wind, dispelling the aura* Damnit! What did we tell you about scaring us with crap like that! You're going to have try harder than that, Life! And whatever you two plan on doing, now's the time to do it!

Spark Man: Gladly!

*Spark Man sets down a totem while Wind Man lets loose with a +30 tornado*

OOC: Actually, I think I might know how to give this the ending it deserves. I'm reluctant to end it in this post since it's gone on long enough. That and it seems ridiculous to me to cap the Life Virus in one post. So really, all we need is some filler action and this thing will be ready to post.

[Drillman]

I'll post said "filler action" in the morning. Too tired now. But I do gotta check on the transmission thing. The idea was that there was no human contact possible with Vector after the Transmitter got smashed and the navis would have to fight alone. Not that this way is bad, in fact having Drillman use the Northwind is perfect for his theme of "all barriers can be surpassed" thing. But just to keep it consistent, could you add in a little bit of Pharon fixing the Transmitter enough to get the PETs working again? Or copying the Transmitter's frequency to our own PETs or something like that.

[Sparkexe]

All taken care of. Pharon copied the frequency into everyone's PETs, so we're ready to roll. And as for Drill's north wind, how could I not add it in? It is in his stat sheet, and what better chip to use on Life Virus?

[Commander Sazabi]

This seems like a job for an intermission

*insert animation of Pharon hitting an unconcious Scuzzy and ami with a fire extungisher and ends with Pharon getting nailed in the balls with a shoe thrown by Doc Man*

Is Pharon fixing all this junk because he has nothing better to do? and you got the idea for wind and spark fake joining from Dragonball Z because picclo and krillen did that during the saga with the darkwater mist (the thing that turned evorybody evil)

I'll find out the next time sparky posts

[Sparkexe]

...No? I've never really seen DBZ. Hell, from the episodes I've seen, I don't even like it. If anything, the whole scene with Life Virus "injecting" Wind and Spark was more inspired by an ep of Futurama than anything else.

[Drillman]

LV: Fools! I am making a perfect new world where all navis will be free from the incompetence of humanity! How could you not endorse your own freedom? *shoots energy bursts from the gems on his shoulders, the navis dodge*

Drillman: If humans are so worthless, how come you have so many on your team?

LV: Those morons have outlived their usefulness, just like Wily did. I told them they would maintain our cyberworld while ruling over thier real world, but our world will not need human maintenace. The human world can rot and die without electronics for all I care. Besides, I was programmed by Wily to pursue his quest for Annihilation. I may have exceeded that programming, but part of me still wants to destroy the world as well as rule it. This way I can do both.

Windman: Well, I do know humans can be stupid, irrational, and drunk, but there are other humans that are quite pleasant to be around. I've also had enough experience with the life of an independent navi to know the alternative is more desirable.

*Windman pelts one of the Virus' legs with a SandRing then attacks LV with a close-ranged Round Tornado, hitting him six times with three WindStorm cyclones travelling in a circle, and picking up the sand for extra damage. LV swipes Windman back with his claws.*

Sparkman: And living in a new world controlled by you would hardly be "freedom". *launches a huge SparkShock at his head* Well, you'd make a pretty ineffectual leader anyway. You'd be overthrown within minutes if we let you get that far. The only difference we make by finishing you off now is that there's less of a messed-up Cyberworld to clean up when we're done.

LV: Insects! You know nothing! Dream Beam!

*The Life Virus suddenly shoots a large laser and sweeps it accross the battlefield. Drillman duckes into a Mole hole, Windman flies above it, and Sparkman cloaks and runs like hell to the other side of the Virus before the laser reaches him. While LV is still firing in rage, Sparkman stabs his electrode into one of his his hind legs. LV immediately takes notice and swats Sparkman back to the edge of the platform. He then charges up for another attack. His Aura is raised again.*

Windman: Oh we're not done yet. *uses his own Northwind ability to render LV vulnerable again.*

Drillman: You're the insect here, virus! Just look in the mirror!

*Drillman throws a Cannonball and a Wrecker at LV's left side while Windman throws Propeller Bombs at his right side. LV cringes and gathers his power to form a pair of purple orbs that move out to Windman and Drillman and then execute a LifeSword attack that slices the navis up something fierce*

LV: I knew navis like you would come. I knew there would be rebels. I am prepared for all of you! I am stronger than all of you put together! You WILL kneel before me when my kingdom is established if I have to cut your legs off to make you do it!

*Meanwhile, Chaud and a small team of Officials arrive in Kotobuki.*

Official1: This is where the interferece started a few minutes ago. It says in the records a maintenance team came in here a few months ago. It could be a glitch.

Official2: Negative. The maintenance was scheduled to be complete in just a couple weeks. It seems the workers that were sent in didn't report to their supervisor either. HQ just assumed everything was fine since the system was closed off as it should have been.

Chaud: I sent Protoman in to investigate, but now my PET is nothing but static. What's going on in there?

Official1: The server should be in this building. We should find out in there.

*meanwhile*

Moe: We should finish this up fast. I want to get these two into custody before they wake up.
