In the midst of the suburban town is one of the most popular flower shops, Flower Power. Inori stood taping her foot on the outskirts of the store. Between her and the front entrance were dozens of different kinds of flowers on displays, everything from roses to tulips. Mayura accompanied her, and was sniffing some of the lilies.
Inori: "Where is he..."
Mayura: "Question: Is this a sufficient time to mention that I truthfully had no foresight of his outcome? I was acting on pity, to soothe your soul."
Inori stood still for a moment before turning and speaking to Mayura. Not angrily, just confused.
Inori: ".. You did what now? Actually, never mind. I don't care. You do you."

Soone enough, a very familiar sound of claws lightly tip tapping about made its way to Inoriàs ears. Out of the crowd of navis around, a navi dressed in grey, black and green shyly approached. Nightshade stopped in front of Inori.
"S-sorry I'm a little late..." he sheepishly mumbled, his face already bulshing under his mask.

As Nightshade draws near, so too does another Navi. A common normal Navi in green and blue attire as is the norm. He walks up and waves to the small group, doing his best to address them tactfully.
?: Hi there! I'm sorry to bug you like this, but I'm looking for a Navi named ProtoMan. I haven't been to Electopia in a number of years, so I'm really not sure where he'd be at this point. Do any of you know of him?
The simple Navi stands with his smile still intact, waiting quietly for a response.

Nightshade's eyes flashed red.
"The same trick only works once, Gate."

The Navi blinks behind his visor a few times looking at Nightshade with a curious expression.
?: Um, what?
The Navi takes a step back, raising his hands a bit as he does so.
?: Um, not sure who you think I am, but my name is Local. I saw ProtoMan during his glory days and just wanted to know if he was still around. If you didn't know, then all you had to do was say so.

"I do not know, sadly. I have been away for some time. Maybe try asking a ONB officer." Nightshade replied.

The normal Navi nods, having been given a fair enough answer.
Local: Oh, right. Guess I should have thought of that in the first place.
Local then waves happily, turning away as he does so.
Local: Sorry that I bugged you, but thanks for the answer. Have a great day!
And Local then walks away, leaving the group to their own devices.

Inori snapped back into reality as Local walked away.
Mayura: "Question: Inori who is Protoman."
Inori: "Don't worry about it, come here."
Mayura turned to face Inori and Nightshade, floating over to their position. She had external, pulsating, white wings protruding from small blue armor pads, roughly the size of shoulder pads. She wore a blue uniform with a skirt at the end--down to her knees--and it had a white stripe down the center. Her eyes were a light Silver, matching her hair.
Inori: "Mayura, this is the guy you apparently lied to me about, Nightcat."
Mayura took her right hand and put it center onto Nightshade's face, making sure her fingers didn't block his eyes so that she could stare into them with a soulless gaze.
Mayura: "Introduction: Greetings, Nightshade file extension .EXE, I am Mayura file extension .AXA, Maho Shoujo of Prophecy."
Inori: "... Wait your name is Nightshade?"

"Nightshade.Rx actually." The little cat navi replied, chuckling. "I tried to tell you about it, but you kept calling me Nightcat. It isn't a bad nickname per se, so I thought that if you would be happy by calling me that, there would be no problem in getting used to be called Nightcat."
A visible blush was now present even if Nightshade's masked face, even if it left little skin out to notice. The cat navi hopped at Inori's side, using his tail to pull the lady into a warm hug. He bowed his head at Mayura.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Mayura. Inori told me great things about you. However, I do believe you most likely have to reconsider your opinion on me..."
In a burst of flames. Nightshade allowed the beast within to come out. The juuka would keep Inori safely cuddled while he would sit down and gently place her in his lap.
"I don't seem to have become a ravenous beast as you foresaw. True, I may have become a Juuka. But I am still myself on the inside. Inori knows that well. If anything, my heart is hers and hers alone. I love her with all my being."

As Nightshade reaches out and takes inori in his arms, the normal Navis in the area begin to gasp, most logging out or walking away as the feline Navi transformes into a Juuka. However, it's not all bad response. At least one Navi, and old-fashioned heel Navi from the early days of the net, raises a hand and waves.
Barrow: Woah, it's a real Juuka! Awesome man!
The Navi shoots a thumbs up to Nightshade and snaps a picture of he and Inori together, tossing a copy of the data to them a moment after.
Barrow: Lookin' good, kids!
Barrow then turns and leaves the network behind, still obviously happy that he'd seen a Juuka.

Inori was startled but Nightshade's sudden forwardness, but rather summon her blade on him, she simply just got right back up and stood next to him. She let the picture fall to Nightshade, instead.
Inori: "Nightshade, you should know better than anyone now is not the time. Things have been strange. Mayura, explain the Netopian events."
Mayura: "Summary: Shadow Devil of the W3 appeared, fought of by NIA Agents. SD had an unknown metal maiden and flaming beast assisting. End Result: SD heavily damaged, escaped with the girl and a flaming beast. Continuation: Two beasts destroyed and taken by unknown force. Nightshade file extension .Rx obtained data of one beast through being bitten. Conclusion: That is all of importance Nightshade file extension .Rx has experienced."
Inori had held a hand up to her chin, thinking hard about everything Mayura just recited.
Inori: "This is a problem... that means my father was involved AND he was in Netopia. But could he still be there..? Probably not. Anyway!"
Inori turned to Nightshade and put both of her hands fiercely on his shoulders.
Inori: "Please, join us! Mayura may not seem like it, but I truly do believe she will bring about the Prophecy. And hopefully it will be a good one, but at this point with my mother MIA and Rosario on the run, I need something to put my faith into regardless of its outcome. We can change this world, Nighty--hows your thoughts on Nighty, by the way, short and simple right?--but we need help."

Nightshade shyly waved his claw at the heel navi, before catching the photo. The juuka would look up at Inori when she offered him to join them. He tilted his head to the side, unsure, before giving a slow nod.
"Alright I guess. As long as I get to spend time with you, I'm happy. Nighty sounds wonderful I like it."

Inori sighs and releases him, handing him a full info card with all her personal data, including side coding.
Mayura: "Gratitude: Nightshade file extension .Rx, welcome to the Prophecy. As initiation, you will be sent on a mission."
Inori: "We are gonna need a better team name.. I think the Fatebringers will work!"
Mayura: "Error: no comment."

*Embera arrived in Velvet Town, bulky and slow, chuckling to herself still how giddy the small cat was, chasing after this girl like she was his own tail. Always a few steps behind, but always nearby, Embera introduced herself rather casually.*
Embera: 'Sup? Who're all of you people? All I heard was "mission" and "Fatebringers will work" and I'm gonna need a fill-in.

Nightshade dispelled the Juuka transformation and took no time in installling Inori's data within him. In a few moments, his clothes changed into something more elegant. White and red in color, they testified that his soul was now permanently nunited with Inori's. He fiddled around with his new uniform apparently overjoyed at the feeling of Inori's power flowly freely inside him. He let out a soft giggle, before his eyes caught a familiar silhouette.
"Ah right. This is Embera. She is a very powerful navi that offered me to become her student. I am trying to get stronger to protect you guys."
The little cat would turn around to face Mayura. "What's my first mission then?"
