Note from Webbuilder: I hope Laura didn't drive everyone too crazy while I was away. And I have no idea where all those formatting errors come from, but I'm replacing the text now.
Ah, I'm in the saddle, captain of the ship, in control of the fics once more. In other words, I'M BBAACCKK!!!
Vokteron, really, and I thought I had something original here by having Mayl take on Chaud (of course, now that you mention it, it does make sense that she would in BCC), oh well, live and learn. Rant all you want, but hold on, I've got a couple of twists I haven't thrown in yet.
C. S. Omega, to pull a quote from an old movie: "dude, let it go."
Bluedarkyugi, What Laura meant (and therefore should have said) is that I have a few hearing problems.
S. Rain, I know it's few days early, (for us anyway) but welcome back! And again, I apologize for the hair crack.
"I've got you..." Roll's calm voice said.
"You saved me." Ring mumbled. "You threw yourself in front of their attack." "That's what friends do." My Navi replied, "Are you alright?"
"I'll live... for now." The Navi's voice was faint.
"Ring..." Mary's voice was even fainter.
It clicked; I could practically feel Roll's agreement... "STYLE CHANGE!!"
"What!?" Our opponent shrieked. "We already removed that!"
I heard a long hiss as Roll transformed.
"I've got deep blue boots and gloves. Azure chest and leg armor, a marine arm color, and two dark blue lines forming an 'X' over my chest. My helmet's gone deep blue with azure trim." Roll explained each step of the transformation
"It's Roll, Aqua-Shield Style." I announced.
"No way!" Roy moaned.
"Yes way," We replied.
"ATTACK!" Turbine screeched.
"Crystal-Globe!" Roll said. "A large ice sphere has surrounded me and Ring, we're protected!"
"Perfect!" I agreed as I jabbed a button, "Try this out!"
"Aqua-Crash!" I heard Roll fire several times.
"Now, let's get Ring out of this swamp environment." I pressed the second button, as I had a pretty good idea what it would do."
"We just transformed the stage into an Ice arena." My Navi replied, "So the swamp's long gone!"
"You're good, but not good enough." Turbine mocked us, "Finish them!"
The dark Navis immediately fired, but we were ready for them. We had to take Turbine out before he ran out of HP and went crazy, I didn't think we could survive if he did.
"Ice-Globe!" Roll announced, "Fire-Arm, rebound into Freeze-Man, Amazon Spears are to reflect into Torch-Man, and the tornado can just go right back to Airhead."
Several slight 'pings' told me that her instructions were followed. Each attack was reflected to a differed Dark Navi.
"Hey, Freeze-Man." Ring shouted, "Cool off! Ring Shot!"
Several small explosions sounded through the Network.
"The dark Navis are gone."
"Now, Turbine." Roll said; "It's just you, Ring, Mary and us!"
"I have so much power!" Turbine shouted, "You'll never defeat me! Seeker Missiles."
"Perfect!" I slapped a chip into my Terminal. "Area-Steal!"
Seconds passed before an explosion sounded, and Turbine roared in anger.
"Funny, seeker missiles head for their target, no matter who's in the way." Roll commented, "even if it's Turbine."
"You'll pay for that!" Turbine shrieked, "You'll pay... AAARRRGGGHHHH!"
"Oh no." My friend gasped.
"What is it?" I asked, this didn't sound good. Not good at all.
"It's Turbine..." My Navi explained, "He's gone into Dark Soul."
"Oh no." We were in serious trouble, when a Navi was in Dark Soul, it was virtually unstoppable, and down right crazy. It would attack out of blind rage, and no one could control it.
"HAHAHAAHAHAHA!" Our opponent roared. "Nice try, but you'll be deleted yet! Dark Sword!"
"Get behind me Ring, Crystal Globe!" Roll shouted.
"I'll help you out, Barrier! Download!" Mary announced.
Turbine laughed maniacally, as he attacked, in one move, he destroyed Mary's barrier, and our Globe. The next hit was meant for us.
"Gooooooood-bbbyyyyeeee!" The dark Navi shouted; he had to be closing in.
"And I'm out of Area-Steal Chips." I felt frustrated, "Wait, Leaf-Shield, Download!"
"Hang on!" Roll cried out, "I think I can dodge this..."
"I can too!" Ring shouted.
I heard Turbine's blade rip through space, but never connect with anything.
"Just keep moving until the Unison wears off." I instructed, "if we can hold out until then, we can win this!"
"Seeker MMMIISSSIIILLLEEESSS!" Our attacker screeched.
I heard dozens of explosions as the rockets launched.
"Ring Shots!" Our ally called out.
"Aqua-Crash!" My Navi announced. "We're doing it!"
"Not for long!!" Roy shouted.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Turbine bawled.
I was lost, there was so much noise that I couldn't tell what was going on, I though that Ring and Roll were still destroying Missiles. At least, that would explain the constant explosions. But I wasn't sure what our opponent was up to. And it didn't sound good.
A large explosion erupted.
"Oh..." Roll groaned, just before I heard a thud. "Maylu, the Style Change's gone."
"Don't give up!" I shouted, "that Unison's got to end soon!"
"Tooooo laaaaaaate!" Turbine screeched, his voice was really getting on my nerves. "MISSILE!"
"Mary..." Ring gasped, "I'm sorry."
"No!" Roll shouted, "I won't let him delete you!"
"It doesn't matter, you don't have a choice!" Roy retorted.
That missile had to be getting close.
There was only one way out of this mess. We would have to advance to a whole new level of Netbattling. "Roll."
"Maylu. My pink Navi agreed.
"Ring."
"Mary. Let's do it."
"SOUL UNISON!"
I heard it happen, Ring and Roll combined into one more powerful force.
"I've got Ring's basic appearance." Roll reported, "her yellow suit, but with blue and pink markings, the Data Ribbon's on my head just switched to linked green rings. Now, let's blow this guy back to Net City! Ring Arrow!"
A small explosion sounded.
"That takes care of that." Roll announced. "Now for hotshot over there."
"You'll never defeat me!" Turbine roared, "I'm the most powerful Navi ever!"
"I disagree!" I heard our Navi's footsteps; she was charging our opponent. "Ring Slash!"
A loud crash sounded.
"Who knew that these rings could pack such a punch?" Roll quipped.
"Missile!"
I heard Roll dodge the attack, "Ring Arrow!"
"Looks like I didn't miss the action after all," A new voice said. That voice, it didn't belong to me, Mary, or Roy, it belonged to... Chaud!?
"Hey!" Turbine shouted, before an explosion sounded.
"Proto-Man!?" Roll gasped.
"The one and only." The Raider replied.
"Chaud? Are you there?" I spoke into my terminal.
The Op's voice came right back, "I am. But don't think I'm saving your skin, for any reason other than the fact that I can't take my title back if your Navi's been deleted."
"Well thanks anyway." I replied, I was pretty sure he was just putting up a front, "ready to take him down?"
"As always."
"Why you!" The dark Navi cried, "Dark Cannon!"
I heard our Navi's footsteps quicken. "Ring Slash!"
"NO!" Turbine roared. "He never got his shot off!" Our Navi reported, "Wait, I feel... strange... I think I've gone Full Synchro!"
"Then let's make it count!" I said, "Mary would you do the honors?"
"With pleasure!" She agreed, "let's get the most out of this, Thunder! Battle Chip in, and Download!"
I understood her meaning, when a Navi entered Full Synchro it's next attack would be more powerful, and since Roll now had an electric base, the chip would have two upgrades instead of one.
"THUNDER!" Roll cried as she unleashed the ball of solid electricity.
"No!" Roy shouted, "Get out of there!"
"He can't!" I clarified.
The ball crashed into Turbine, and exploded.
"Now, Hero-Sword, Battle Chip in, Download." Chaud announced.
"Hiiaaaa!" I heard the Raider's weapon slash through space, and Turbine roar in anger.
"His Unison's still there!" Roll cried out in disbelief. "No wait... It's gone! He's out of the unison!"
"Mary, let's end this." I stated.
"I agree, you guys ready?"
"Let's blow this afterburner." Roll agreed.
"Enough fooling around!" Our attacker shouted, "Prepare for deletion! Mighty Missiles!"
"I don't think so!" Our Navi announced.
"Ring Arrows!"
"Cyber-Sword."
Two explosions sounded as our Navi's escaped unharmed.
"You'll never defeat me!"
"We don't have to." I explained, "You defeated yourself!"
"What!?"
"Dark Chips give you great power, but they slowly destroy the Navi that uses them," I continued, "And thanks to Dark Stage, your Health Points are just about gone. So you're through!"
"Right." Mary agreed.
"I have such power!"
"Want to bet?" We announced.
"Ring Arrow!"
"I can't lose-! Seeker Missiles destroy those attacks!"
"No way, flambé!" Roll retorted, "Ring-Slash!!"
The attacks met, and the missiles blew away the first round of firepower, but Turbine had no defense against the second round.
"I can't lose!"
An explosion sounded, Turbine'd been hit.
"Now, cancel this match and get out of here." Roll snapped, "and I mean now!"
"No way." Turbine sneered, "this is a deletion battle, one of us has to fall, and you don't have the heart to destroy me."
"Ring-Arrow!"
"That wasn't even full power." Turbine retorted, "I'll just destroy you now if you don't mind- "
"Ring-Slash!"
A loud explosion sounded.
"Of course." Turbine wheezed, "I could always be wrong."
"Wide-Sword, Battle Chip in, Download!"
"I'm on it." Proto-Man agreed, just before he attacked.
Turbine, Data Deleted.
"Thanks Chaud." I spoke into my Terminal. "I appreciate it."
"I warned Roy." The Op replied, "and he didn't listen, I was just keeping my word."
Proto-Man Logging Out.
"Oh, I'm sure you were." He was so easy to see through.
"The Unison's dissolving." My Navi announced. "I think I can jack out now."
"Thanks for saving Ring." Mary said.
"But you saved Roll more than once." I corrected her; "we were a real team in there. Just wait until we actually enter competition!"
"It'll be something won't it?" There was a bright smile in Mary's voice. "I'm sure it will." I agreed.
