Annihilation
It was just a boring day at the Acid Hackers Compound. Stuart was the only one there, drinking some Ice water and listening to some music. He sighed.
"No new deals with the company, no new targets with the gang." He said, sighing again. "Maybe there is some big promotion on net going on? Yo, Plant Man? You mind checking the net?"
"Sure thing." Stuart Jacked-in his navi into his computer. Soon Plant Man was outside the AH homepage and into the Crescent Areas.
"Maybe Netopia Area should be interesting."

Meanwhile Leon was working on another painting while his navi Snake Man was watching over outside the AfterMath Homepage.
"Anything New?" Leon asked just turning his neck around.
"Nope." Snake Man replied "just the normal navis. Mind If I check the few areas outside?"
"Go ahead." Leon answered going back to his painting.
Snake Man nodded as head into Netopia's Net areas.
***
Netopia Area 2 is where the 2 navis would cross paths into a fierce duel. Plant Man was just walking by busting the occasional virus that came into his path and Snake Man bought a few things from the local net merchant.
"Hpmh. I'm starting to get bored of these viruses." Plant Man thought. "Maybe it's time to find some bigger prey?"
Plant Man set up a little trap inside a grass patch to lure a few innocents in. Snake Man observing from afar happened to know what was going on.
"Please! This thug couldn't make a trap even if the victim was a stone cube." Snake Man said to himself. He cracked his knuckles. Snake Man sank into the grass and slithered near Plant Man. Plant Man was just waiting there for a target until he saw blades of grass moving.
"Stuart!" Plant Man yelled. Stuart spilled his water and grabbed his PET with a few chips in his other hand.
"Leon! Get Ready" Snake Man told his operator. Leon quickly putted away his paint brushes and grabbed some chips. Snake Man went on the quick offensive and strike Plant Man with a Snake Strike. Plant Man struck back with an aqua sword forcing Snake Man back. Plant Man then charged with a Vine Assault wrapping the reptile navi. Although heavily wrapped with vines Snake Man let off a grin when Search Snakes popped out the holes and began striking Plant Man. Plant Man got hit by a few of them but his vine let go Snake Man and Snake Man began firing off Cobra Gun shots at Plant Man had to once again dodge and get out way.
"Stuart, a plan would be helpful by now." Plant Man appealed.
"Got it!" Stuart Slotted in 2 chips. It was Boomerang 3 plus a Wood +40.
Plant Man charged it up and fired it making it do twice as much damage. The Boomerang hit Snake Man on the right side of his face. Plant Man let off smirked but Snake Man let off a fiercer Smirk as Leon slotted in another chip. A Magnum 2, Aimed straight at the Center row of Plant Man's field.
"That's not good!" Stuart thought to himself.
He was right. Snake Man let forth an onslaught of Search Snakes and more Cobra Gun bullets leaving Plant Man straight to attack. Plant Man summoned the pink and yellow flowers, confusing and paralyzing Snake Man. Plant Man then fired off some seed bombs with the Snake Navi caught in the blast radius. Snake Man was ticked. Leon slotted in Constrict, as Snake Man made a dash towards the flora navi, Plant Man fired off Rose Needles hitting Snake Man in the face, forcing the fauna navi to retreat. Stuart slotted in an invisible chip. Leon smirked as he slotted a grass stage and a Tree Bomb chip. Snake Man hurled it but instead going through thanks Plant Man's invisible, it hit with twice as much damage. Snake Man was pointing to his eyes and his opponents had gotten the message.
"That's it! No More games!" Plant Man yelled.
"Games?" Snake Man replied. "I thought we're having a one-sided match!"
Plant Man fired set off another vine attack and then Stuart Slotted in as many chips as he could the first being Area Grab, Second, Gaia Blade, the rest being anything with an * code. Snake Man struggled trying to get himself out, dislocating his body, but without luck. Leon Slotted in one last chip. Old Wood. This was it, both navis using their trump card chips. The first wood spike went though Plant Man while the blade connected with Snake Man. Both Navis were forced to log out.

Stuart sighed, letting go some of adrenaline. "Man that was a tough battle." Stuart said to his navi.
"Yeah." Plant Man agreed, "But I got a feeling we're going to be fighting them more often."
"In that case we need to be prepared. I'll try to find some info hopefully get some battle data for practice."
***
"That was intense!" Snake Man said.
"Sure was." Leon replied, sorting through some officials files. He found something.
"And I sure wouldn't mind if the bureaucracy of the officials makes us fight them again."
Both Operators knew they would see each other again; it didn't matter where and when. Their grand duel will still continue.
