[IC] BNWL Day 2: Trails Ablaze

[Hal Henderics]

"Let's do this thing, Vile, if you would."

 

"Heh, Right."  Vile speaks for the first time.

 

[Right 7, Down 1, Right 2]

[Chevaleresse]

"Guess everyone else's doing it. Wouldn't want to miss on the fun, right? Let's go, Score." Mitsuru strolled over to the port and jacked his Navi in, sending Score into the fray.

 

Score took a moment to observe the area. The virus population seemed to be fairly low-level; those black objects didn't seem to be a proper part of this place, though. She made a note to delete them if she had the time. Ghost Navis. . . Mystery data sometimes contained viruses; perhaps it could contain one of these Navis as well.

 

 

 

[LucidRain]

Axel enjoyed the tour thoroughly. He snickered at the costumes and enthusiastically absorbed the stories of the actors.

"Alright! Time for the mighty hero to save the day!" Axel grinned and declared heroically, holding up Mirona like a sword of justice, who simply sighs in response. Shaking side to side in clear excitement, Axel plugged Mirona in. "Alright, work your magic Mirona!"

 

Mirona shook her head as she proceeded forward to find whatever was pestering them in the ride, clearly disapproving of Axel's behavior. It was at least fine when they were alone, but not in front of other people! Out of the two, only she knew to be embarrassed.

"Proceeding to investigate area. And for everyone's sake, stop shaking."

Vlastimir and Orenucu.EXE

Vlastimir honestly wondered if this was all nothing but a part of the ride as he first typed in a short message to Midori that simply said.

[FROM:Vlastimir][SUBJECT:RideBroken]

Is Drop dead ride supposed to break? Vlastimir does not like waiting in dark for prolonged period of time.

As he waited for a response he noticed that everyone else was already taking matters into their own hands and jacking their NetNavis into a nearby port, and he reasoned that it wouldn't hurt to try and help them out as he did the same and ordered Orenucu to, "Orenucu! Go and see what is wrong with ride!." Causing the NetNavi to eventually realize that he was asking for it to jack into the nearby port and look around the place.

(Down 3x/Right 6x/Down 1x)

[IntSys]

"The power's gone out on this end as well... They're not letting anyone in. Don't panic, alright?" Midori responded to Hina's call. "Hey, Midori, you got mail. From Vlastimir," SheepMan alerted his operator, who then proceeded to give the message a read. There wasn't really anything she could do, but she replied anyway.

[FROM: Midori][SUBJECT: Don't be afraid!]
Rides aren't supposed to break, but don't worry! Just wait a bit longer! I'm sure they will be able to find the root of the problem!

-

Score and Orenucu got 150 Zenny from the Green Mystery Data!

 

The Oil Devils made their moves...

 

Black trails: Oil. Makes you slip; basically repeats the move you took to get into an oil trail until you are no longer on an oil trail or you hit an inaccessible tile. (This will eat up the number of steps you can take for you)

"Yeah, yeah. We'll be fine, just wanted to know if they were saying anything on your side. See you in a bit." With that, Hina ended the call, and turned back to oversee her Navi.

"Found a pack of Mettaurs, engaging. Shouldn't take long." Hina nodded, before leaning back in an effort to relax and make herself comfortable.

Vlastimir typed up a response to Midori's message as his NetNavi moved to claim some rather valuable looking data

 

[FROM: Vlastimir][SUBJECT: Slightly uncomfortable]

Vlastimir hope ride is fixed soon and will wait for help. Hope that Midori brought some snacks for us to consume later, and Vlastimir also hope that ride delay not mess up tour schedule.

 

After he finished sending this message to the tour guide he saw his NetNavi send out an alert that simply said, "Hostiles sighted, requesting chips."

Timestamps:
2 hs: Mettaur A took 80 damage from Wide Sword and was deleted!
5 hs: Buzzkill cannot move right, as it was enemy territory (Blue)!
8 hs: Buzzkill's Long Sword whiffs. (Moving takes a whole hs to complete, so by the time the Long Sword was fired off, Mettaur B was just moving into the panel)
 

Pattern Analysis:

• Mettaurs wait 1 hs before they move in consideration to your current location
• Mettaurs always attempts to move into your row. They can only move up and down.
• Mettaurs will keep waiting until the Mettaur before them is either done attacking or deleted.
• Mettaurs use Shockwave once they share the same row as you. It's probably never going to hit anyway, with how slow it is.

 

(Note: Blue Arrow is the Shockwave. It will still take 1 more hs until it reaches the panel before it, and it will take 2 more hs per panel.)

"I was lucky." Mirona said simply. "My name is Mirona. Just Mirona." She was insistent on the name, just so that people got the correct idea before Axel decided to toss in his childish titles of his.

Be sure to keep this quirk in mind, or a chunk of your action sequence won't be processed due to them being beyond the given timeframe! The Oil can simply be removed by having a Fire element projectile or attack used over them; this will set off a chain reaction, raising flames over every Oil Panel connected and dealing 50 damage.

Program Advance detected! - Giga Cannon! 

Giga Cannon
Code: A, B, C / B, C, D / C, D, E
Damage: 150
Warmup: 1 hs
Cooldown: 2 hs
Projectile Speed: Instant
Description: An upgraded Cannon that additionally explodes on impact, covering all surrounding panels. (Like a Spreader) If it hits beyond the last column, the last column gets covered by the explosion instead.

 

Program Advances are powerful attacks created by a specific combination of Battle Chips. You may choose whether to use them or not when they show up. But keep in mind that they follow the Chip selection rules as well. In the case of the Giga Cannon here, it's made up of three different-coded Cannon chips, which means you can only select Asterisk-coded chips once you choose to combine the Cannon chips into the Giga Cannon.
