Right before the Cust Screen cleared, Endy heard a familiar giggle in his ear and spoke: "What is it." Leviathan's voice came over the commlink: "Well, dear, I was just thinking, could you not send me any really good chips for a turn or two? I want to see just how well this "MegaMan" operates, and besides, it hasn't been very fun yet."
Leviathan was starting to get grouchy. MegaMan.EXE had about 960 HP...no, wait. He started with 1500, she'd read that off of him. Then 240 from reflected damage, 220 from the AquaBlad, and 60 from her LevSper attack. That meant that he still had 980 left. She, who had entered with only 1300 HP, still had 1260 of it, having taken some from the ChargeSht. She hoped it was enough. She grinned. All he had given her this turn was a Barrier100 chip and a Sword(Spear). Maybe the boy would become better sport...and maybe, just maybe, he'd learn that just because she was a girl, it didn't mean she needed - or wanted - mercy.
Megaman was downright scared. Hub Hikari had been through a lot. But it wasn't every day that Lan equipped him with Recov120, Vulcan2+10, and WideSword. He just hoped it would be enough. This Leviathan was stronger than she looked, and more devious than he'd expected. He hoped he could pull something good out of this silly fight to see who was better.
TURN 2 - START!
Lan spoke softly, but each word spoke volumes: "Megaman. Good luck." He began full operation and Endy took up the same. Obviously, there wasn't much that could be done when Lan gained back 120 HP for MegaMan.EXE, bringing him to an even 1100. He fired Vulcan2 a few moments later, and the Barrier absorbed the 30 HP damage of the first shot as she moved away, into position
He swung the WideSwrd without moving. That would be his downfall, she thought, as she dropped back then moved in for an easy 80 points of damage, bringing him down to 1020 and interrupting everything he was doing. She fired 7 times with her Buster, hitting 4. She smirked. 1016.
Lan couldn't figure out what was going wrong. He was operating at his best ability, but something was horribly wrong. While trying to figure out something to do, he thought, "She's good. He's better", and tried to find some way to deal with her. The Barrier and Sword thing was there just to piss Lan off and taunt MegaMan. Lan typed a command into the PET and Mega nodded. Hanging back, he watched her move, quietly...he was trying to resist being enthralled by her beauty. He began charging his buster, out of her reach. This time...he wasn't going to play around.
Leviathan watched him, quietly. She knew her little theatrics would get her nowhere now. Her spear couldn't reach all the way back without a bug in her NaviCust (not something she'd felt comfortable with for this battle), but the MegaBstr could get her anywhere. And since he was following her from column to column as he charged up, she knew without question that - BAM! 40 damage to her Barrier - only 30 left! Wow, was he quick now that she let her mind wander. Her eyes locked on him as he glowed again, preparing yet another ChargeSht. She charged herself, just to see what he would do. The answer? Nothing. He finished the charge and waited. A moment later, they were lined up, and she was down to 1250, sans charge! She let out a bit of a yelp, more from surprise than anything else, and just kept ducking him. Now she saw why he was good. He had been playing with her at first, the same way she was playing with him. The problem was, in her mind, he played a much more dangerous game.
Endy's eyes widened. He'd never, ever seen his Leviathan lose a barrier to a Buster before! And now, without planning, she'd taken 10 damage from it, lowering her by 50 HP! Something was wrong here, and he felt it. Oh, did he feel it! Leviathan could keep playing, and he'd let her. But he was about to stop playing around with Lan. The reason why MegaMan won is because he had the HP to spare and an Operator who could adapt to a battle just as quickly as his NetNavi. Endy, on the other hand, was serious and at times morose, and balanced off by Leviathan, a playfully sadistic NetNavi, especially when in combat. Endy saw this as a reason he would lose, because Leviathan wouldn't take the shot - and Lan would order MegaMan to do it.
Lan, on the other hand, was worried. He saw Leviathan's HP go down...but only by a cumulative 50 points. His, after the Recov120, was down by 484 HP. Something was wrong here. This relatively weak Navi had only taken 50 damage...and that had only been from the MegaBstr. He guessed it was time to kick it up. He just hoped that she'd not think the same way. He grinned as the Custom Screen appeared in front of him and Endy.
