A-hunting We Will Go!

The thing was deceptively fast for it's size, firing blasts wildly from it's mouth when he was in front of it. If he circled out of the way, it would either drop it's helmet to defend itself while rotating to face him properly before either continuing it's assault of shots or jumping toward him with little clearance underneath to escape aiming to either slam into Wolf or stomp him flat. Properly timed evasion helped a lot when dealing with this as it allowed him to get in a couple of hits as the Met needed time to reorient its self with no shield after a missed jump.

The problem was, the viruses from around the area seemed to be attracted to the fight. Metools were slowly making their way through the security gates to help their superior Met in battle, telling Wolf that the gates were only blocked from the inside, but things could still enter. The few that were entering the room weren't of great concern as he had time to dodge a jump and mop up the little ones before the big one could orient it's self. Now, however, he was running out of time before he'd be either killed by a lucky attack from the big one while distracted by the little ones or focus his fire on the Boss and hope the creeps don't overwhelm him.

His eyes catch a Navi just outside one of the security gates seeming to have a conversation with someone else. An enemy? No. A net-battling duo! It had to be!
"HEY!" he called out, flipping to the side and throwing a couple more rounds in to finish off a weaker Metool. "Do you have any piercing damage or wide-area attacks that might be helpful? Got a few bits for your trouble!" He hated to admit it, but he'd bitten off more than he could chew with this little scrap.

The shower of blasts were plentiful, but Wolf was far enough away to avoid damage easily enough. But, with the other Navi there to play backup, he would be better geared to deal with the boss.

Charging power into his arms, he broke forward into a dash towards the behemoth. It jumped at him, as he expected it to. A low hop, but high enough that he could roll underneath and avoid the damage all together. Now placed directly behind the enemy, he was ready to fire. A full barrage of shots hit the Met at point blank in the rear, toppling it forward onto it's face. This was his chance to end it quickly, but with his charge shot being too slow and the other Navi preoccupied with the small-fry, he could only think of one method that would work, try as he may to not use it.

Left arm a-glow, he focused his power to materialize his Impact Canon. Placing it against the underside of the giant Metool, he got exactly what he was after when the shot pierced it's rather frail body, then ricocheted around inside it's nigh-impenetrable helmet. The interior damage proving too much for the virus to withstand caused it to break down as the canon dissipated from Wolf's arm.

As he had thought, the boss had some sort of AI altering field active, as when it was defeated, the other Metools immediately resumed their less threatening normal operations of wandering aimlessly and attempting to break down data into smaller data for collecting. Some of them even began chasing after data fragments from the boss that were scattered around on the ground. He watched them as they sifted through the code, until he found what he wanted. Some pink, heart-shaped accessory with a blue and white ribbon. He picked it up, blasting the virus closest to it before it could smash it with it's pick.

Trophy in-hand, he now just had to figure out some way to deal with this new duo he was faced with. Weakened, and unable to use his Impact Canon for a few hours, he was completely against antagonizing them, so he decided a friendly facade would be best.

"Thanks for your help back there!" he smiled as he de-materialized his visor. "You two make a good team." as he continued buttering them up.

Glad they turned down the reward, seeing as how he didn't want to put out much for such an assist (not that he had much on him to begin with), Wolf still felt as though he was being looked down upon. Like he was a charity case or something.
"Well, at any rate, I've finished what I was here to do." He started in, not sure why he was concerning himself with the problems of others. "What brings the two of you to the Alpha Net? There's not much going on around here, except for this weird security zone I just triggered."
He paused, looking around at the section of expanded platform that had yet to resize itself to it's original form. He scanned the area carefully for something worth guarding or something out of place. "Wonder what it's doing here. That Giant Metool was definitely placed here by someone on purpose, and in a place not many travel around nowadays. Doesn't it make you curious as to what it's supposed to deter us from?"

"Maybe you're right, but there's still the question of who set it up." Wolf said, raising an eyebrow at Gekku. "Even the money I've put into my own security doesn't compare to modifying virus data and using it effectively to control other viruses in a guard-dog protocol. Something like that would cost a lot of money. Whoever put this here is willing to sacrifice a lot to stop guys like us from discovering whatever they're hiding."

Taking one last scan of the area, he couldn't gather anything of importance before the arena-sized platform finally began shrinking back down to size, ceasing it's glitchy state.

"Apparently there's more to it than just beating the boss to continue. And based on how the 'guard-dog' protocol works, it'll be smarter and tougher to fight next time it's set off." Wolf analyzed. "At any rate...now I'll be on my way to collect on a reward. I may yet find a lead from the client who sent me out here. Gotta admit I'm intrigued at this point."

Wolf lobbed over a cluster of data towards Gekku as he walked away. "This should be roughly the bits dropped by the mets you killed." In actuality, it was about 30% short, but it wasn't like he ever intended to see the two again.
