The same silhouette greeted him that greeted Jax, and with a loud clap, the fog instantly dropped as rain. Ninetails stomped the ground, launching the water in a suspension and waiting for no introduction, the new challenger was met with a concentrated onslaught of elemental fury on a scale the monstrous storm could not hope to match up to. Getting back into a ready stance, the Combat Navi readied for any possible retaliation. Ninetails: ...

He eyed the dense fog, his facial features not betraying any emotion at the time until the silhouette fully revealed itself, a slight smirk on his face. It reminded him of Challenger on a bigger scale really. He wasted no time drawing the sword off of his back and as he did, Ninetails had begun his own offensive. It was time to get started in earnest then.
He swung the sword with his left hand as an obsidian wave was set loose to meet lightning and ice alike as his right loosed an azure flame. As fire met fire, it was almost as though they engulfed each other as they muted each other out. He readied more flames however, the azure fire taking the shape of birds as they launched in a salvo against Ninetails himself. At least initially in any case. Some turned into spikes mid flight while others retained their avian features, the black-clad warrior launching himself into the air and behind Ninetails himself, sending several of the black waves at him in a pincered attack between the waves and the flames themselves.

#s://66~media~tumblr~com/affca339861821ff8e4a21d7588ba050/tumblr_pfzpc8W2qe1rlurbuo1_1280~png How quaint. The challenger before him seemed to have far greater defensive abilities than his swordsmanship would belie. Seeing the azure flames coming his way, Ninetails waves his hand as a wall of ice stopped all the blue flames as they crashed into the shield, flittering down like a serene snowfall. Barely acknowledging the power of the man sent before him, Ninetails extended his hand, batting away the black flames effortlessly. Showing no reaction, he simply looked at his hand, seeing slight char marks from deflecting the attack. One eye furrowed quizzically. So it seems this stranger could pack a punch after all! A gentle green glowed around him as his hand recovered back to full strength. Again, the elemental surge, this time only a concentration of lightning, and with each flash, Ninetails would close the gap, getting into the man's guard and aiming three earth-shattering punches into his abdomen. Following his combo, he would aim his thumb towards the sword arm, hoping to sever the data channel to his weapon, and crippling that black flame, before driving a kick into the swordsman's chest, driving him back and creating space once more. Nintails: ...

Lightning only this time, experience coming to the forefront of his mind. If there was anything he was well acquainted with, it would certainly be fire, ice, and lightning alike. With each flash of lightning came a flash of his sword, meeting each bolt back to back to disperse them, the gem on the sword shimmering with each that he struck down. But then the gap between them had been closed, the three punches coming straight at him as he used his free arm to contend with them, blocking each as his arm trembled at the end of their earth-shattered impact, a smile on his face all the same. It had created an opening for the following blows, the thumb striking his sword arm and the kick to his chest that sent him sliding back on his feet.
The smile had become a bit of a grin then. His sword arm remained strong and he flexed his other arm a few times, the fire that emerged from it grander than last time. He brought his hand to the ground, slamming the flames into it as it set ablaze his surroundings despite his true intentions. The flames would instead burst up as a pillar from beneath the challenged himself, waving the sword as the black flames were released again, electricity coating the flames as well as large shadows became visible, flaming spheres careening from on high and coming toward the titan before him.

Jax A sound barrier breaking ball of force crashes into a hillside. Leaving a large crater. At its center lay Jax, the angle and force of impact causing his limp corpse to appear napping in a recliner rather than lifeless.
...
Some time passes. Jax's eyes open and he jerks awake. During his slumber his form had been encased by the foliage of the flowing hills he had landed in. His programming passively pulling resources from the environment and accelerating its growth and restoring him slowly as a side-effect. Jax's stands up and dusts off the residual rubble that had fallen onto his unconscious body. The large navi stretches his limbs to ensure proper function. Despite not being required for a status check it was an act that the warrior enjoyed.
Far in the distance, a spec on the horizon, Jax sees the tower he had just been atop. Resolving himself to pay proper respects to the deliverer of his defeat the earthly navi set off back towards the tower. Eventually arriving at the base without issue.

When Jax arrived at the base this time he wasn't greeted by the storm that he had been met with before. No, the stronger storm that had once been heralded to keep out those considered unworthy as the earthen walker had been seemed to be gone entirely. Whether it was a showing that Jax was allowed to travel up the tower without issue or not was difficult to say. What could be said was that he would be able to ascend again to give his respects in person without words as he did. The eerie silence of the surroundings coupled only with the howling wind that would spring to life occasionally here and there.

Jax Strange as the storm that had attempted to stymie him before was, that it's now missing seemed stranger. Jax ascends the tower again but no faster than he had previously. Still vigilant in case any sedan sized ice chunks start to rain from the sky.

He would arrive at the garden after no surprise cars fell down upon him or lightning strikes to pierce his form. Instead, the area had signs of a struggle that took place. From the attacks of the mighty tails clan and whoever he had engaged with, the garden was decimated in various ways be it from lightning, flames, and what looked like gashes through the ground from a blade. There was also static that was in the air occasionally, glitching the area as the sky above was black. There were no clouds or stars to behold, only pitch black in the sky above with the field around him.

Jax The familiar signs of battle still pepper the garden but there in lay new marks. More intense, desperate even, as well as large gashes from a blade much more powerful than his own. Had someone else come in between his visits? Static that read similar to the glitching data Toxin and other Chaotic members held peppered the air. He had been told once this was a sign of corrupted data, improper, and unnatural. Perhaps the new contender utilized this for their victory and the skyline above was residual? A second theory is that this was some manner of tear in the net similar to how he transitions between. Just cruder and more savage.
A test, then. Jax glances up to the abyss above and flicks two fingers upwards. From the stony garden a boulder hurls itself up and into the inky dark.

As the boulder was hurled up into the black sky, he saw that it degraded some as it moved upward... before it melded in with something. Like it had been swallowed up by something in the vastness of the sky, he noticed that how expansive the blackness above was beginning to shrink. Could it possibly be related to both theories he crafted? The boulder being corrupted would fall in line with the improper data, yet it being swallowed up as if it fell into the ocean was something that occurred as well.

Jax Hrm... The rock's journey would have to tell him all it could to determine his next course of action. As the shrinkage meant a soon collapsing of the corrupting vortex. Curiosity of the unknown compelling him as it ever does. Jax grunts lightly and his golden aura envelopes him. Having been around glitches much of his modern era he understands how to contend with them as well. Crouching slightly the large navi jumps up into the sky reinforced by the garden vaulting him up with two pillars under his feet.

As Jax lunged upward and made his way into the rift, the field he created to protect himself began to erode just as the boulder before it. It managed to last long enough for him to get through the corrupting factor and into the well within, finding himself pulled into the vortex as he made it to the other side as it closed behind him. And he would find himself in a location that he had never been to before.
Jax Location Change: ?
