Nightshade could see the guy was not lying. However, when it came to dark power...it always had a price. He had nothing to lose though.
"See...the only power I would want is what is rightfully mine. That being my Juuka powers. I've been alive enough to see and live a fair share of puppetry."
The cat navi slowly circled around Rosario. "So you're a good guy eh? I don't think good guys and bad guys exist anymore in this world. Everything is in ruins. At this point it's only a matter of who's the strongest. They get to choose how the world goes...and the others die in a thrash pile."
Having completed the circle, Nighty stared at the other navi again. "I am willing to merge myself with this...Cloak. At this point I have nothing to lose by my life. I doubt people would care about it. As far as chaos goes...with or without you its bound to happen when I'm around. There is still one person in particular I'd like to rip apart. At this point I don't care how. I want to get it done. After that, I can vanish into nothing."
He extended his hand towards the swirly black thing. He grasped at it, deactivating his defensive protocols so that Cloak would be able to both merge itself in Nightshade's code and alter it if needed.
"I'm all your yours. Take me."
(Accepting the deal ooc, following IC reason.)

A smile came across Rosario's face, one akin to a father looking upon his child and feeling pride.
"Cloak will give you his all. I'm sure he won't disappoint."
CLOAK swirled around Nightshade's arm feeling no more than like a gentle breeze. He trailed upwards to Nightshade's mark, entering his coding seamlessly with no pain or adverse status yet. A few minutes pass and this is when Nightshade begins to feel it. Deep within him, a rage grew. It wasn't CLOAK's, however. This was his own rage, his own anger that he always kept composed. It grew at a vast rate. Trails of darkness began to stream off of Nightshade from all over. The pain, the sorrow, the torment, the humiliation. Those he hated, those he missed, all emotions he could possibly feel were being fueled by this rage that CLOAK was triggering. Then, instead of losing control, the essence of the rage exploded from him. CLOAK took shape to morph into a familiar sight..
[OOC: Feel free to reformat this to your style. This takes into account your bonus HyperMode turns already.]
~<CopyKat Juuka: Dark Beast>~ Resembling Nightshade's deepest desires, CLOAK shapes his own form to cloak Nightshade and create a fake, pure black shadow of the beast mixed with Nightshade's armor. -While active, Nightshade gains +210 Damage (+10xVersion Damage)- -While active, Nightshade gains +200 Damage (+50 Damage x4)- -Lasts for 3 turns-
The dark silhouette of the beast took form by expelling abyssal black shadows from Nightshade's armor, creating a constant flowing effect as the armor trailed off.
Seeing the results, Rosario seems pleased with them.
"Well now, how do you feel, Juuka?"

The zoanoroid observed as the weird entity began to coat him with itself, swirling around and pushing itself into his code. It wouldn't be long before his entire body would be covered, as the thing called Cloak moved deeper within his code to take root and merge. Wether the guy needed it or not, Nightshade gripped his mark and broke off the seal protecting his core, allowing Cloak to force itself inside and bind itself to it, if he wished to. Nightshade looked at his new form, twirling around himself once, after the darkness swirling around him had finally settled and completely merged into his body. He stretched and lightly bounced on his clawed feet. Whatever this was, it was mimcking his Beast-Out form quite well as far as appereance and feel went. It was obviously...darker and less feral, but it still felt kind of the same. Nighty was once again thirsting for destruction. Power wise...it wouldn't compare, but at least it was something he could use while he tried to regain his actual powers. "Well...it's not as strong as the real one." He stated, staring down Rosario with his (surprisingly) blood red slits. "Though it'll have to do. Very clever use of my latent beast code. I'll need time to get used to this but I'd say this is more than enough strength to go reclaim my actual powers. Say, the other navi. The one that I guess I am now the host of. Is he in here?"He tapped his helmet. Regardless of that, he seemed to enjoy his current state. "I could return this once my beast powers are restored maybe... Unless, of course, I die fighting as you say. I don't think I will, though...the more I give in to this...the better I feel...and the more power I get."

He cometh.
The very Net shifted as he suddenly appeared, the dark energy spiraling from all of the Navis present appearing to shift towards him. There was no flashy appearance, or even the sense of some incredible power radiating from the individual. In fact, the first thing that would be noticeable would be how incredibly plain, insignificant and unmemorable the Navi was.
He was a nearly statuesque robotic figure without any defining details. A sleek, featureless layer of grey coated his limbs, holding no design for musculature, vein, weight or even purpose of aerodynamics or comfort. His articulated joints, like his fingertips, elbows, hips and the tip of his feet seemed to be a conjoining of thick, twisted black wires all lining up to take shape, almost like his frame was just a little too small to cover up the entire underside. His grey face, utterly featureless aside from a little line that would usually produce a mouth and a set of binocular-like focal optics, looked between the two navis gathered, and, though no emotion was seen from them, it was as though they pierced straight through them.
The utterly nondescript Navi strode forward, reaching out his black fingertips and placing his grey hand upon Nightshade, his hand briefly caressing the dark cloud of darkness around him like it were a solid veil. He shifted his hands over it, looping his fingers into the code and pulling it away from Nightshade. Between his hands, he unlaced the code of the dark mist like string, trailing operands, descriptors, file names, and 1s and 0s into the air as he studied it, and, just as adeptly, looped the code back together into a form the Net could recognize. "How intriguing . . . artificial assimilation of your most depraved and carnal desires," the man amused, his voice as robotic as his appearance suggested, "almost a perfect replica of a true Darksoul." He released the code from his hand after he looped it back together into its proper form, the dark mist coiling away from his grasp as though nothing had happened to it, and he glanced between the beastly Navi he had extracted it from, the Navi within him that gave him this power, and the Navi that seemed to be radiating a true intent of darkness.
Did he recognize this one? He should. He took a closer look at him, his optics spiraling inward to take in more details and zooming out to study him. Ah, yes, he did recognize this one. "Rosario." He turned towards the armored one. "CLOAK." He reached out, tentative, but bored, and began playing with a little bit of code floating in the air before him. "You can create very close approximations of Darksouls, without truly corrupting soul data in the process; you also, however, fail to create the defining aspects of what a darksoul is. I came because of the flare up of energy that I detected that was very similar to a Darksoul's energy but was still much unlike it, as I had to investigate.
"I do not believe you are breaking any rules, and have therefore made yourself a target of my study. Explain your motives and intentions."

"Hm?"
Rosario turned. A data wielder.. he seemed to have more control over it than those he knew. Had he met this one before? He must have, he wasn't infamous yet. Although, he couldn't recall.
"Well, first Nightshade, Cloak is inactive. In order to focus on solely providing you power, he is in.. stasis I suppose is a good word. If you need to contact me, you can send a message to Cloak and it will simply redirect to me for the time being. Anyway, so, my motives and intentions you ask? I simply wish for people to be true to themselves." Rosario began to smile. "This world is full of people who take it too seriously and often fake themselves to get what they want. Wouldn't it be more fun if we all showed our true colors? That's all I want not much more than that.." His voice trailed off with a small chuckle as he put both of his hands in his pockets.

Nightshade turned over to the new addition, then back to Rosario. Whoever the weirdo guy there was, it was not a threat and was not a concern to him.
"If you say so. What if I want to deactivate this form? Forcing my beast code to stay active drains my stamina fast. As much as I would want to stay like this, I can't go around in beast mode all the time. Would CLOAK be out of stasis when he is not actively bonded with me?"
It was at that moment that the weird entity spoke and Rosario answered its questions. Now that was interesting.
"So...this is what my DarkSoul would be even though it's not my DarkSoul...fitting." He mumbled, going over his body one last time. "I do...feel different but not too different. Time will tell, I guess."

(( Adminning here real quick: While you can't necessarily just pass out HMs and such without prior admin permissions xoDeathy, I spoke with Zane and we're alright with it in this case, just hit one of us up beforehand next time. The HM itself technically breaks stat rules (The B-Tier Damage+ can't stack with similar effects, IE: C-Tier Damage+), but since the Armor System doesn't really comply with traditional guidelines, we can make another exception here. ))
(( So to do this cleanly: Nightshade you're free to add that HM in your Stats as a "Core" piece to the Armor System (the spot previously occupied by Greiga Juuka), basically just copy/paste what Deathy has there. Follows the same restrictions as the Juuka did, IE only usable in Story-Related battles and whatnot. And as you said in the RP: in the event that you reacquire Greiga Juuka in the future (or any other Core part really), you can replace this Dark Beast with it if desired. Oh and this also means that you don't have to give up a HM for this now, too. ))
(( That should be enough to keep everything standardized. Proceed. ))

He listened to Rosario's explanation, as well as the one being affected by the artificial darksoul's musings. Looking between them, he decided it was inappropriate to attempt to delete them. This Rosario was not truly creating darksouls, which meant he was not doing that which only he (and a few other incredibly powerful entities) could do. Were he creating Darksouls, it would be yet more work for him to worry about. He wouldn't be amused.
That is to say, he'd have to tap into the only emotion he had left: Rage.
As for his intentions, it seemed this Rosario wished to create a world where everyone showed their hand clearly and did not switch themselves to better suit situations. He wanted honesty outright; the most important aspect of honesty: Honesty to the self. Siega was unsure if he understood what he was saying entirely, but, it did intrigue him. "You are amassing . . . followers? To the aid of this cause, I mean? What power do you present, or method do you use, that has already procured those faithful to you?"

"He will simply deactivate on his own, or when your rage dies down. Whichever comes first. No, Cloak will not be active whatsoever while he is attached to your coding."
He answered Nightshade without looking away from Siega.
"Amassing followers.. yes that has a good ring to it. Yes, after all, I can't run this show own my own. As for the power I display before them, it is none other than the darkness within them. If you think about it, the things we keep shoved down are all apart of our darkness; the things we don't want the world seeing. But.. when so much gets shoved down, it becomes a powerfully driving force of our personalities. In one case, it took me only words to describe, in another, well.. let's just say their darkness was an 'acquired' taste."
Rosario spoke forward, satisfied with every answer he gave and his demeanor relaxed. He felt his ego inflating a little bit from this interview, it wasn't everyday that he got to spiel about all of this information like this. Yet, it was enjoyable.

As Siega listened to Rosario's words, he felt his own rage rising. A deep, powerful darkness enveloped his form, as he turned his attention away from the data he was playing with and settled his single optic onto Rosario. The mechanical lens shifted backwards and forwards, and, somehow, without any detail to it, the malevolence in his glare was still evident.
"Darkness is not something that is shoved down within you. True darkness is not something that is hidden from the world. Those of us with darkness in our hearts are defined by that power, and if we choose to hide it from the world, the only person we hide from is ourselves." Siega turned himself fully towards Rosario, each sentence taking a step closer, the ambient data in the air steaming with the rage within his soul. "If you knew even one thing about the care and precision taken into the darkness within your own soul, you would never consider shoving it down. All you darkloids are given this wonderful gift and yet you misuse it; you misunderstand its purpose." He spits out each and every word, as though scolding a child that would dare speak to his father in such an ignorant way. "Your misunderstanding of your own purpose reminds me of the humans that would debase you. You've allowed yourself to be reflected by their thoughts, and by those that misunderstand you. You're better than they want you to be, not as simple as they'd like you to be, and yet, you've allowed yourself to be reduced to their understandings.
"You infuriate me."

"Ah.. my apologies, for I have spoken incorrectly."
He raises his arms into a shrug, the smirk returning to his face.
"I do not shove those feelings down. Nor do I shove them down for anyone else. I actually do the opposite; I ignite those feelings they have, and make them realize the beauty in what they call destruction. I show them that there's nothing to fear from it, and that embracing it will grant you the true strength they have looked for."
Rosario's tone took on more of a softer one. He enjoyed this little chat very much, and wasn't expecting to have this much fun today.
"I don't think I could ever hide who I am, haha!"

A near-faint laser of white fell silently from the sky, from which appeared yet another Navi. A white generic bodysuit wearing an arguably feminine jacket, with an iron mask with glass lenses and netted slits for a mouth. He stared for a second at the piles of rubble around him and then glanced around several times.
"This is Rammount Castle, right? Did I enter the wrong..." he muttered to himself.
Scratching his head, visibly confused, he turned and floated towards the three Navis at a distance. Oddly, getting closer, he felt like he's seen this armoured Navi before... or maybe it's just Piano's memories acting up.
"Um... Excuse me, can any of you tell me what happened to this... the..." The muffled voice gestured at the debris, comically drawing circles with his hands.

"Destruction? Strength? The power of the Darksoul is so much more important than just a desire for destruction and strength; it is the desire to press on, to survive, to stand," Siega spat, reaching out to grab Rosario's arm. If he could grab him, he would yank drag him forward, coalescing the darkness around them so that he could ignore their newest arrival. "You lie to yourself as much as you do others. You cannot awaken the power of the Darksoul within them. It was not meant for them. Rosario, you fail to understand the Undernet, the Darkloids', true purpose in this world. Like so many of your brethren, you have blindly given in to the anger and the power that you have been provided with and have not stopped to ask yourself why, of all in existence, were you made with this berserker's will to survive and dominate."
Siega would release him, if he had grabbed him, then, and release the veil of darkness from around them - darkness far deeper than any Rosario could summon. He turned and began walking away, turning to the new arrival with a simple nod in response to his question.
He was furious. His only remaining emotion - the only one that mattered. It was the only thing that reminded him of his duty. His only woe was that he had not the power to remind Rosario of his place.

"Oh, hello. Wow, you're way taller up close," the floating Navi commented as he floated just a little higher to meet the 8'-tall Navi's eyeline... or, he supposed, as much 'eyes' as they were, looking merely like camera lens.
"Well, I just came to check on a..." The masked figure holds his chin. "I was gonna say friend, but... Maybe acquaintance? I'm not really sure what the appropriate social description is."
He then turned to the castle's ruins, then back to Siega. "Anyway, she lived here before and... you know. So she's obviously not here, which means I suppose I'm going... somewhere else. Goodbye."
Grade then turned around and vanished into an upward laser of white.

Siega's intended actions were successful. Rosario held up both his hands innocently the entire time, with a grin and a chuckle that he couldn't wipe from his face. When he let go and walked away, Rosario followed him, placing a concerning hand on his shoulder as if talking to a dear friend.
"Listen, listen.. trust me when I say I understand. I truly do. I am simply trying to spread the same message that you are telling me. I want people to treat us and our blessings as equals, not as freaks or villains with curses. You of all people should know how I and my brethren feel."
