Thorn began growling softly at Asymptote's petting, something akin to purring, although he wasn't really able to. He quietly listened to the two talk about how they came to be what they are today, all tucked up in the guy's lap.
"...We're not so different...you and I, ya know? Well not in a appereance kind of way. More of a...spirital way. Maybe."
The dragon raised one of his claws. "Sometimes I miss having five fingers...but the way I am now ain't that bad." He added, flexing his three fingers open and closed. "While you started out good and ended badly, I started up badly and...well turned out good. Somewhat."
Thorn allowed his claw to fall back down, loosening his tail's grip on Asymtote's waist just a bit. "I was a normal navi too, a few years back. One of the older models. And I was pretty good at fighting. Maybe a little too good at it. My ex-netop was obsessed with battling, and I was more than happy to oblige to his requests. That is, until we got somewhat famous, and money was thrown into what should just have been casual fighting.
An innocent bet between friends. A bet that we obviously won. If I didn't win that...maybe I wouldn't be like this. See...every Darkloid was once a regular navi. You only become dark if you make excessive use of DarkChips or DarkAccessories. Then, if your Darksoul consumes you...well it's not a pretty thing.
My ex-netop would then slowly descend into a circle of illegal net fighting and dirty money. I was...too cocky to really notice it. Too into winning fights one after the other. Until one guy got us good. Needless to say, that costed a heftly amount of money...and you know how these kinds of story go. Gambling is quite the addiction."
The purple navi turned to the left, another virus seemed to have wondered in this area, but didn't seem to bother the two navis. Even though the little mettaur hopped into the pool of goo, nothing happened. It just scurried along to the other side before disappearing somewhere.
"I didn't know he had used a DarkChip during our next fight. But boy did it feel good...and powerful. It's like getting an adrenaline rush, but ten times the power. There was only one problem. Each passing day I needed more. I kept on winning at first, making my partner win some good money. But after time and time again my code was getting corrupted by DarkChips to the point where I needed a couple dozen of DarkChips uploaded in my code within two hours to just not go crazy.
My netop grew tired of "wasting money" into the DarkChips I craved so much by now my performance began to become less than optimal...and it ended with him throwing me in the garbage bin in favor of a military grade navi bought with the money I made him."
The dragon chuckled. Suddenly, his scales turned a darker shade of purple, with his eyes going blood red. A strange purple aura envaloped him, although it did not seem to hurt Asymptote.
"If he only knew I could actually control myself to near perfection even when my DarkSoul manifests itself...ah well. Maybe he wouldn't have though of trshing me. I was left alone to eventually get permanently deleted, when the guys at Nebula System Dynamics brought me in. I agreed to some experimentation on my body. They used code from another navi with insane regeneration abilities and poison data. Result? I turned into this and I must say I love it so far."
