[Note: You may not participate in both "Border Crisis: Electopia" and "Border Crisis: Netopia"]
Stepping out of the connection, Ruin looked upon the defense of the Elecopia border. It seemed like they had only managed to tighten the security that was already there. other navis were still flowing out of the connection, and Ruin strolled slowly toward the checkpoint. Surely even before he got there he'd be spotted, what with all the guards and enforcers huddled up around the booths. Doubtful this would be easy, but hopefully more than just some nameless navis show up to stop him, that wouldn't be any fun at all after all.
As he approached, one of the guards perked up, whispering to others nearby who immediately looked to Ruin, who in turn smiled at the attention. Looks like he had been spotted. which was excellent for him. As he finally reached what was now a full on blockade, Ruin stood, arms folded, surveying his challenge.
"So this is all the New ONB could muster for a welcoming party? I'm hurt, If that woman were at least here then things would be interesting."
Ruin's body slowly began to generate black flames, welling up all about him as he prepared for battle, unknown to him was that those there were only the first line, as an SOS for ONB contractors had gone out as well.

A blue and gold blur rushed towards the border. Nightshade had responded to the alarm as fast as he could. He thought he would be among the first to arrive to the scene and he did. He hopped over the police line, straightened his blue and gold ONB uniform and presented his XIFF Id code to the small group of fellow officers asking it.
"November-India-Golf-Zero-One-Seven reporting in. Inspector Nightshade responding to emergency call!" He told them.
It wouldn't take long for the cat navi to notice the guy in question. The guy was already fired up and ready to wreck havoc. He had his information up on his visor riiiight...now. He quickly devoured all the intel he had on the guy. Boy did he love suicidal missions. He grabbed the first officer he had in his grasp.
"Alright. Imma make the situation very clear. Right now, we can't stop him. So I don't care what you have to do, but while I try to stall him and not get killed in the process you make a few calls and get all the backup. All of it. In case I wasn't clear: I want a fliping army rushing in asap."
Nightshade would then slowly make his way through the other officers and walk over to face Ruin. He would stop in front of the guy. He was tense, on edge and ready to avoid any incoming attack.
"Yeah, to be honest, I wouldn't do it if I were you." He casually stated. "Cause...you know...you can only fight so many people before you get overwhelmed."

Just as nightshade finished his sentence, a Navi entered the building, with a sword in his hand.
"You lightmongers all spout the same garbage."
A few of the ONB navis looked as if they had seen a ghost. One or two of them spoke up.
"I thought he was dead. Didn't he die 3 years ago in Bayside?"
"It's a ghost! That's the only thing he could be!"
The Navi smiled as he heard this.
"A ghost of the past, yes, that's exactly what I am. You should run before I place a curse on you, or feed you to my pet."
"No, it has to be an imposter."
"Try me."

Nightshade facepalmed. Of all the things...
The gold and blue navi turned to Ruin. "Could you kindly wait for one second okay thank you." He quickly said before hopping to the side of the Ghost data that manifested, not really giving the time to formulate a reply.
"Whoever you are, could you please go back to the afterlife, thank you? Navi's lives are on the line. Especially mine. And no offense, but I don't wanna end like you and I already have a problem to deal with. This appointment with the ONB is full, try scheduling one when it's available in a few years." He whispered at the new guy.
He quickly turned his attention back at Ruin. "Sorry for that, now...were were we? Ah right, why would you do this whole thing."
Nightshade would begin pacing up and down, making sure neither the guy in front of him nor the one besides him suddenly decided they wanted to destroy things. He pointed at the various cities of Electopia. "Now, say you go there and destroy stuff. What would you actually gain from that? I mean, I know they call you Ruin and all...but I really don't see what could you gain from a bunch of dust and pebbles. Not only that, filing paperwork for destroyed buildings really is annoying, lemme tell ya, so if we could also avoid that. I would be grateful."
The cat navi appeared confident, but his mind was internally screaming at himself.
"Why the hell did I come here? I could have just finished my shift and be done, jack out and be ok. Now I gotta stay here with two mad navis ready to kill people and destroy everything. Hell, they don't pay me enough for this. If I live through it I am asking a promotion and they better grant it. *sigh* Greiga give me the strength...I'll need a miracle to pull this off."

~Hmm hmm.. hm hm hm hm hmm.. hmm hmm.. hm hm hm hm hm!~
Rosary hummed to herself as she skipped passed the border patrol. She sucked on a blueberry lollipop as she did twirls and leaps, but stopped suddenly in front of the building. Is that the ONB in there?
Rosary stepped inside and headed towards the commotion to find Nightshade stand lead with a police line armed behind him. She stood not too far from another Navi with a sword, but all the attention was on a Navi who had just passed through the connection. Seemed to be charging up, but she didn't recognize the face.
With her lollipop still in her mouth, she hopped over the police line with a twirl and landed giggling. She tapped Nightshade on the shoulder and pointed to the Navi with high amounts of power flowing from him.
"Who wis thwat ovwer thwere?"

"So it' a two on one, Ruin is the problem, the other is a nusiance, I have to find a way not to burn everything I have or I am boned, I should look at preserving my undershirt. Maybe I can try and set up some sort of chip trap to absorb attacks, but then I would need to worry about two easily disposable pieces. I should also be wary of AoE type of attacks coming my way on top of finding an opening to strike and then-GAH!"
Nightshade's train of thought was interrupted whn he felt someone poking him. The cat navi tried his best to not jump tenn feet in the air for the scare. Can't let the opponent know your mental state. His head snapped backward, noticing the newcomer. If he weren't on duty, he would have hugged her for coming to the rescue.
"That is one hell of a problem. Ruin.exe." He barely whispered at her, before focusing back on the two in front of him.

As Nightshade entered the scene, many of the navis not on the frontlines stood to salute, but quickly returned to a ready position. The one he picked up to yell at looked confused, eyes darting from side to side. Fear of death plus fear of official reprisal was certainly a painful combination. He simply nodded to Nightshade's orders, and fumbled for his connections as he was let go. Under Nightshade's authority of course, the call went out for all active ONB Personnel to report to the border, the question of if it was a good idea being the one remaining.
The flames around Ruin's body began to flare up again, hearts of white and flames of pitch, licking the air around him though no heat distorted. Yet a navi, unlike the faceless masses of the rest of the blockade, came up to Ruin and spoke to him. Asking to lay down arms. Typical ONB crap, 'if you surrender we'll go easier on you' stuff like that. In reality its just a one way ticket to the jail. Better to go down fighting then, or walk away fighting. But who knows, maybe this one really wanted to actually prevent bloodshed.
"You have a point catface, I wouldn't gain anything from fighting people here. But you all were the ones who setup this blockade for me."
Ruin grinned at this idea, he knew it would never work, but teasing this one was too easy, plus it gave him more time to build up energy as his the flames covering his body began to slowly grow further, bit by bit.
"Tell ya what tuna breath, all you need to do is wipe my slate clean and let me pass, then no one here needs to get hurt. Or are you going to tell me the one making demands here doesn't have database access?"

"Yeah, see that might be a problem. I mean, it could be done under special rules and stuff and a given amount of years, but I doubt you would wait that long. As the situation stands right now I can't let you cross the border. Sadly I have no say on this matter either and can only appease to your common sense."
Nightshade replied and walked forward. He would stop and sit down cross legged right in front of the guy and pointed at the newcomer behind him.
"See that girl over there? She likes to punch stuff real hard. She also has kiiiinda a short temper when it comes to fighting. Imma be brutally honest with you. Trying to keep that kind of people from getting themselves killed is not easy. Trying to protect everyone is also not easy. And I have to deal with this every day. I would very much appreciate if you'd reconsider your intentions and spare me the trouble.
In the end, there is really no reason we should resort to gratuitous violence just for the sake of it. Also, if we really want to be honest, you are the one trying to find an excuse to kill people here. You see, I am sure that if you didn't want to fight, you would have tried and sneak inside unseen or simply not come here at all. Yet here we are. Don't mean to break it to you, but fighting against us isn't really that much of an archievement if you really think about it and if that is what you are trying to prove to yourself. I can't order you to do stuff but I can tell it is not a smart move. Would be but a waste of time and resources on both parts."

Kajira glanced over at the sudden glaring message that was coming across her screen. There was...an incursion? What?
She stood, knocking the chair that had been beneath her as she stared at the name that was showing on the screen.
Ruin.
That was a name that she'd become quite familiar with. One of her predecessors who did, in fact, work for the ONB, had filed a number of charges from the individual. Kajira had familiarize herself with all of the major threats, and all the information that Iria had. Not to mention, there was also battle footage of the brute fighting against the Mars Prototype before the Stardroid Project had been cancelled.
He was a violent brute that was thought to be almost unstoppable. Iria hadn't succeeded in apprehending him all on her lonesome, but Terra had come close in removing the beast's leg...but beyond that, no one had been able to. "Triple the rate, hm?" she asked, tapping on the table for a moment before she sent a mail to Blake, the boy undoubtedly asleep, letting him know where she was going. She sure as hell wasn't going to stand for this.
~~
A moment later, over the border, a storm began to roll in. Lightning cackled up in the dark clouds, and thunder rolled overhead. A sudden bolt of lightning streaked down from the sky, and Kajira stood a moment later, electricity still running the length of her body.
"Ruin! I am Kajira, ally of the NeONB, and I am here to stop you from breaking across the border! Stand down! Or face arrest!" she spoke, mostly unaware that there was anyone else here at the moment aside from Ruin. She had read a number of the reports on him and she wanted him put away for good.

Everybody seemed to be focused on Ruin at the moment. No one seemed to be paying much attention to the Navi with the unwieldly blade. Suddenly a chorus of choking noises sounded from the Joe's lined up behind Rosary and Nightshade.
"Useless lightmongers. Always preaching about laws and justice. Don't you get it? This is justice. Justice for all of the corruption that you allow. Justice for the countless injustices that you commit. You condemn us because we're different. Because we don't follow your laws. News flash, you're all the same. You just act all high and mighty because you wear a badge."
After that little monologue, the Navi started laughing maniacally. However, after a few seconds, he composed himself.
"My name is Jin. I was left to die three years ago by your precious order of lightmongers. In an attempt to rescue another, I was cut down, and nobody tried to help me, to prevent the attack from killing me. So I'm here to kill all of you, and nobody is going to get in my way."
After finishing that speech, Jin went back to laughing as he throttled a cowering Joe.

Nightshade rolled his eyes at both Kajira and the other navi. "Yo! Sword dude! Could you behave? I am trying to hold a conversation here!" He barked at him before returning his focus on Ruin. "See what I have to deal with every day?"

"Eeeehh?"
Rosary popped out her lollipop and held its stick in her right hand waving it at Nightshade.
"Now hold on a sec, Nighty. He is over there body-ing your fellow officers who are too cowered in fear to react and you are just going to brush it off?"
Rosary crossed her arms.
"Not very cool. Go save your fellow frienderinos with Kadara and I'll talk to Mr. Hot Looking Average Navi over here."
Rosary pranced over to Ruin and examined him closely. Popping the lollipop back in her mouth, she studied him closely as she walked around him. She looked at his growing flames, then his face, then back at his flames, and then only at his flames.
"Soo.. you hwave awot of power, huh?"
Rosary finished her lollipop and threw the stick somewhere in Nightshade's direction. She then spoke in a teasing tone.
"Don't mind their warnings. I won't let them touch you~. You seem like an... intriguing Navi. I know! Let's play a game! Why don't we see who is stronger, and the loser has to pay for dinner?"
Rosary smiled as she stopped her pacing and took a few back steps before Holy Data began to flow around her fists--like a small crackling flame against the steady flame before her.

Nightshade stumbled as he was shunned away by the lady. He caught himself before the fall and slammed his clawed feet onto the ground in frustration. The situation had clearly gone out of hand, although now they had more of a chance against the guy. Still, everyone just loved completely glazing over his authority and just foil his plans. He used his speed to catch the lollipop stick and throw it away at the nearest garbage bin.
"So much for a diplomatic approach...I love you people for saving me from this, although sometime it feels like I am beset on all sides by good willed idiots." He thought.

After receiving directions from his operator, Ezekiel, to report first-hand the current dilemma that's forming at the Electopian-Netopian Border. This navi, who has a translucent physical body with no facial features, opened up a connection to transfer himself directly to the location of the Electopian Border. Once he arrived, he noticed there was many ONB Officials surrounding a specific navi from afar. He didn't recognize who he was but he could sense the potent energy he holds from within. But also found it rather strange how everyone were pretty much holding back in engaging against that one navi. Perhaps he is an extremely powerful threat that shouldn't be messed with, and if that were true, then the group facing him must be looking for a death wish without setting up any proper precautionary set up and not looking out for the well being of everyone else who are not involved in the situation.
Ignoring the blatantly bad decision they're making, he set up a news feed so that his operator could see what was going on and then began to walk closer to the group of navis who didn't look like your typical factory-made ONB Officials. He moved up closer about several meters from a couple of navis, one with feline physiology, one with ghostly attributes, and two female navis. A screen suddenly popped right in front of the navi, and a young male with dark brown skin could be seen with a smile on the screen. "Doesn't seem like much is happening. But for the mean time remain around the area. Understood, Spartan?" He nodded his head in agreement, and one could notice starcluster falling off his face from the movement itself.

Ruin pondered for a bit, certainly he could take them all on, and that would be a decent amount of fun. But the situation was presenting itself with even greater opportunities for entertainment. The flames that were surrounding his body began to quell, though an orb made of the same stuff began to form in his hand which he held at chest level, considering his actions for a time. Lollipop's proposal was the most interesting, then came Kajira's formal challenge which were always fun. The cat thing was just being thrown around really, so it seemed to be inconsequential. There was also the blockade... sorta.
With a lazy throw, Ruin lobbed the orb of black flame into the sky above the blockade, the sphere exploding into a great stormcloud of fire hovering over the navis of the blockade. After sitting for a few seconds, whirling and flaring out, a gout of flame arced down from the cloud, flying through the waiting NeONB navis. Followed by several more, as the NeONB's ranks began to break down, several navis being simply incinerated, others scrambling for safety. The flames were pretty localized in that area, touching none of those that had stepped forward, though they were still indiscriminate, arcing toward and around Jin as well. Ruin looked between Kajira and Lollipop
"I like your moxie Lollipop, Tell ya what." Ruin gestured over to Kajira, "You take care of her, then we can have our fight. Honestly if you can't take her out on your own, do you really think you could fend her off and fight me? Don't worry, I'll wait."
Ruin walked past the two to stand by Nightshade, turning his back to the destruction of the blockade and crossing his arms, waiting to see if she'd take the option. His hand fiddled with a darkchip while he waited. Though having turned around he noticed another navi showing up, looked like Galaxy Net got a body and walked down here. Didn't seem like he was talking much, or doing anything, probably not a problem.
