Viral's eyes widened slightly when Saber's blade appeared to EAT his arm, actually betraying a bit of surprise at that little trick. thankfully for the virus, it didn't seem to distract him enough to completely remove his focus on the massive slab of sharpened data aiming for his ribcage, a pair of chains erupted from his shoulder blades and embedded in a wall behind him, yanking him back just in time to avoid being split in half by the blade. Viral stopped about 20 feet from Saber, a replacement arm erupting from the stump of his elbow, negating the loss of his previous limb. "I gotta admit, you chowing down on my code is actually kinda surprising...unfortunately for you, you're not the only one here who can absorb data!"
Viral smirked and flung his arms out to his sides, a pair of black metal cylinders erupting from his ribs. "Might as well try this out now.~" Viral ripped the cylinders free, the sound of tearing flesh and spraying "blood" filling the air as he hit a pair of recessed switches on the cylinders, revealing a pair of energy blades that were the same shade as his viral aura. "A gift from Kaizer...now then." Mani4c got in a ready stance, one of his blades pointed right at Saber while the other was held at a 45 degree angle in front of him, the blade angling across his chest in a protective fashion. "Let's dance!~~~"
The summon's severed arm landed a few feet away from Rift, and seemed to lay still...until it started convulsing and twitching, exploding into a writhing mass of ebony chains that whipped about and lashed out at the nearest target, which in this case was Rift. The blades struck like a swarm of cobras, stabbing forward and embedding deep in the officer's flesh as the doppelganger raised it's good arm, an orb of energy blasting from it's palm and narrowly missing Shepard, who dove to the ground and rolled into a kneeling stance before firing a burst of rounds at the creature with her rifle. "Shit, RIFT!"
The chains released a strain of incredibly potent viral code, breaching Rift's firewalls and immediately seeking out any DP's or Add-On's that Viral could use...and they immediately honed in on his portal program. The virus isolated and began to copy the code, causing an intense amount of pain in the process.
