Maze of the Minotaur

(Get ready for my version of a Liberation mission! Also get a chance to choose the next mythical creature, or get your own custom navi on my Fanfiction, details on the bottom!)

In Zerix's house, a few days after the Phoenix Unison was … 'stolen' … the doorbell rang, "Aaaaah!" Zerix yawned, as he got out of bed, "I, wonder, who it is?" Zerix walked down stairs and opened the door, rubbing his eyes. It was Mike, "Zerix, we have a problem."

Zerix and Mike began walking down the street while Mike explained the problem with the help of Yoyoman's pictures. "The net has been turned into a strange rock-like maze over night, luckily it has only spread from ACDC 1 to ACDC 3." Mike said pointing to a few holographic pictures, of the maze brought up by Yoyoman. "As far as we can tell there are a few traps in the maze, some involving viruses, and certain stronger viruses guarding the entrances to the other taken over areas! Also lumbering around in the maze that used to be ACDC three, is a very large very powerful viral reading." Yoyoman brought up a viral scan of ACDC 3 showing all of the viruses, in red and yellow coloring, one was shaped like.

"A Minotaur?" Zerix said as he stared at the hologram.

"Yes, a Minotaur … the scientists at the ONB head quarters think that if you destroy that, the net will return to normal. Personally I think Myth is behind it. Also we got an e-mail from Sci-Lab from a Doctor Erutearc, he is offering to make another Super Viral Unison, if you can collect the Myth virus's data-remains."

Zerix thought for a moment, "That would be helpful, but are the others here yet?"

Mike stopped for a moment to say, "Yes they all got their before you and are still in ACDC 1, we can get to them easily, they have equipment to set down an ONB configured log-in portal."

Mike and Zerix walked thru the doors of the ACDC ONB Headquarters. Andrew, Port, and Sean were there. Andrew was the first speak up, "Hey Z, why didn't you tell us about this kid," –He indicated Sean- "He's a strategic genius!"

Sean was concentrating on the maze in the net, but he looked up for a second, "Oh, hello Zerix, we are going to start putting up the log-in portal, Initiate Log-In Portal!" He said into his PET and a small circle yellow glowing icon light up in his PET and appeared behind the navis. "Ok jack in you two."

Blackman Logging In

Yoyoman Logging In

Archman had just skewered a Mettaur blocking to next turn in the stone maze. Selchie turned to see that Yoyoman and Blackman just arrived, "Guys there here!" Archman and Spyman turned to see them; they both greeted the two navis.

Spyman decided to go forward and scout out the two next turns, while Yoyoman started to direct, "Right around the corner is the virus that is guarding ACDC 2."

Spyman came back, "It's a TinHawk!"

All the navis skidded around the corner towards the Tinhawk, it immediately dove down with its talons and hit the ground, both Blackman and Archman dove out of the way, Spyman flattened himself against the wall, Yoyoman backed up, but Selchie wasn't as luckily he was scooped up by the Tinhawk and brought into the air.

"Damn!" Yoyoman said, his targeting visor came down, and he aimed his yoyo blaster at the Tinhawk's talon. "Targetting Yoyo!"

Spyman knelt down and brought up his sniper rifle, he targeted the same spot as Yoyoman and fired.

Both the Yoyo and bullet hit the Tinhawk's talon at the same time, and it was force to drop Selchie. Just as he was about to hit the ground Selchie fired a high pressured water blast at the ground to slow down his fall and landed on his feet.

"Everyone at once!" Blackman yelled as everyone lined up their attacks.

"Dark Blaster!"

"Energy Arrow!"

"Selchie Wave!"

"Yoyo Blaster!"

"SC-20k Silenced Automatic!"

The black energy, formed with the energy arrow, to create the Dark Energy Arrow, then Selchie Wave and the bladed yoyo, formed together to create the Yoyo Blade Wave, but the bullet from the sniper rifle stood alone. All the attacks hit the TinHawk and it fell out of the sky deleted.

Zerix and Andrew gave each other a high-five and Mike yelled out, "Yes!" while Port followed suit, but Sean stayed in concentrated silence showing almost no emotion.

Blackman was the first to walk thru the gate, followed by Yoyoman, then Selchie, Archman and Spyman. In front of them were two CanoGaurds, they fired, Blackman ducked under on blast, Archman and Selchie dove out of the way, Yoyoman jumped over it, and Spyman intercepted the other.

Blackman ran over to a CanoGaurd and stuck his blaster thru the cannon, before the shield closed, he fired a charged blaster and CanoGuard began to dematerialize. Then Spyman shot into the cannon, just as the other CanoGuard closed the shield and it began to explode from the inside.

Blackman began to run forward towards the next turn. Just then an arrow came out from the wall.

"Look Out!" Archman yelled as more arrows exploded from the walls.

Blackman dove forward and somersaulted past the last of the arrows.

"Fhew!" Archman sighed as the rest of the navis walked forward toward Blackman, no more arrows came out.

Yoyoman pulled up a map, and said, "I say the quickest way is to keep going forward then turn left, right and we're there, but I see, something here, not a virus, I think a trap?"

Just then the floor began to give way, almost everyone made it, Selchie just barely jumped onto the ledge, but yoyoman fell, he fired a yoyo out of his blaster and it snagged the top of the ledge. Yoyoman stopped falling and began to move up the yoyo's strong string.

After he got to the top, the rest of the navis saw the right turn; it was guarded by a mettaur? Just one mettaur. "This is too easy." Blackman said as he fired a shot from his blaster.

"Blackman no! Its too … easy?" Yoyoman yelled and just stared at what happened when the blast hit, it grew three times it's size and multiplied by three. "Darn! Blackman you idiot!"

Zerix and the rest of the gang then sent battle chips to their navis.

Zerix – "VariableSword Battle Chip In download!"

Mike – "Yoyo 1, 2, & 3 in download! Program Advance!"

Andrew – "Gold Fist in download!"

Port – "Wide Shot 3 Chip in Download!"

Sean – "Spreader triple download! Program Advance!"

A sword appeared on Blackman's right arm, and a large golden fist on Archman's right. Both of them flank off and closed in for a melee attack. Then Yoyoman yelled out, "Great Yoyo program advance!" In his right hand appeared a very large Yoyo, which he threw. "Hyper Burst!" Spyman said as he fired off five large spreader blasts at the mettaurs. And Selchie fired off a large wave of water.

Blackman slashed at the left metaur and jumped out of the way as the water wave hit it, and deleted it. Archman punched in the face of the mettaur and then jumped out of the way as the spreader blasts hit it, deleting it, then finally the huge yoyo sprouted small blades and grinded against the middle Mettaur, deleting that also.

"Done!" Blackman said and he turned right.

"There! The portal and a … Bladia!" Selchie confirmed, as he fired a water blast into the Bladia's helmet stunning it for a moment.

Blackman came around the corner, and Archman skidded by behind him. Blackman ran up the bladia, and it made a nice downward cut at him, Blackman blocked and held against the Bladia, but his blade was ready to break, "Archman now!"

Archman punched into the Bladia's side, and then the Gold Fist disappeared and he fired an Energy Arrow, which punctured the Bladia's armor.

Blackman push-slashed the Bladia's sword away and fired at it three shockwaves, just then a bullet came whizzing by and it hit the Bladia in the helmet, it was deleted.

Yoyoman rounded the corner and said, "Nice shot Spyman, lets go!"

After they entered ACDC 3, Yoyoman brought up the map again, "I say we go after the Minotaur. This way!"

They ran to the right then straight then to the left. On the left side of the Maze, sword-ends came out of the wall, almost skewering Selchie, but he jumped out of the way after being pricked. Suddenly the wall behind him closed in very fast and caught his foot, "Ah! Guys!" he yelled and the rest of the navis turned to see Selchie be crushed by another wall, then another came and smashed into the wall.

Selchie Logging Out

"Run!" Blackman yelled, and they all began to run forward, the walls kept rapidly closing in behind them. They all just barely skidded around the corner, Spyman had to dive to make it. "Fhew! We made it! Uh-oh!"

Infront of them was the large form of a bull, on its hind legs, with the body of a muscular man. "Crap!" Yoyoman said as the Minotaur snorted, steam poured from its nostrils.

Blackman fired a shot from his blaster as the Minotaur closed in, but they just bounced off.

The Minotaur punches its hairy fist down into the floor, and everyone was blasted to the side, Blackman hit against the rockwall along with everyone else, but quickly rose to his feet. "Archman, now!" Blackman fired off a shot from his blaster while Archman fired an arrow, they formed together and hit the minotaur in the face, it reared up and then came back down, with the tiniest scar.

"Nothing's working!" Blackman said, just then he got an idea, he looked at his chest, where his icon was, it was outlined with a griffin, "Guys, cover me! Griffin Unison Activate!" His color scheme began to change from purple and black to a mixed of blue with a feathered pattern and a lightning yellow.

Yoyoman fired a bladed yoyo at the minotaur, it fell back a bit, and then Spyman fired a bullet at it's chest. It staggered and clutched it's chest.

The yellow on Blackman seemed to curve and twist down his arms and his legs, mostly everywhere else was blue.

Archman fired off another arrow and it stuck into the minotaur's right arm.

His helmet began to morph, now it had a hawk's beak and eyes; a visor was over the entire face. His arms formed into a sort of the Griffins head; his hands were sticking out of the mouth.

"Alright, Minotaur, it's time for your funeral!"

Griffin-Blackman suddenly sprouted wings and flew into the air fast, just as the Minotaur slammed its fist. Griffin-Blackman then found something else new with this armor, "Griffin Talons!" Three long sharp talons zipped out of the top of both of the arm armors.

He then swooped down and slashed the MinoTaur in the face, leaving a huge scratch mark scar. Then he floated in the air behind the Minotaur and fired lightning out of his hands. It fell to the floor, finally.

Blackman, to finish it off, stabbed the Minotaur in the back, and it exploded, into pixels. Griffin-Blackman floated to the ground as the Griffin Armor began to glow and disappeared in a shower of pixels. Blackman picked up a sample of the minotaur's data and logged out along with all his friends.
