Hollow.___
Hollow pauses as this strange pressure falls, turning to look back as an incredibly large, brutish Navi that looked questionably human made an entrance. He did not get much time to look at him, however, as he suddenly interposed himself between he and his battle partner, something that Hollow could say truly perturbed him. There were few things as simple as allowing two parties to fight as they were due, and this man was not apart of their squabble.
'Xion' raised his hand to point his arm, still with spheres of darkness coiling around it, at Joker, amassing a well of darkness with power unlike what Feint has felt thus far. Perhaps his claim that he could destroy her, if he so chose, was not so shallow?
"I'm of agreement with the young girl. Move, or I will stop my assault on her and join her in instead eradicating you. Once you are gone, we will resume our physical tirade."

Joker.DB
Dread Joker watches as first a collection of minions suddenly got interested in his appearance, and then the young woman he stepped up to fight alongside became uninterested in his assistance. The being in front of him seemed more enthused about this fight now than he had before Joker arrived, however, his battle status rising tremendously in a small amount of time.
Meanwhile, Joker's appearance waxed forward, his form seemingly slightly denser, and the waves of crimson energy coiling off of his body becoming more pronounced. The two on either side of him drew his attention, and he felt his energy welling up within him as the potential of combat roared in his ears. His eyes wild, Joker looked at Feint, first, and then 'Xion,' and found himself trailing to the information panning across his vision about suggested courses of action.
He allowed himself a moment, the briefest of instances, for his body to shift. The coalesced energy around him first manifested and solidified into his signature red armor, the power radiating off of his form and the raw density of the crimson's pressure causing the very air to pulse. A moment later, a crimson cloud passed over him yet again, and when he resurfaced, his signature red and yellow had been traded out for black and platinum, the power of the Eternal Endgame making the well of power radiating out from him impossibly dense.
Another second passed, and Joker was in his baser form, glaring down at the two of them like a parent unimpressed with their child. "I don't want to fight either of you. There is too much at stake to simply assail anyone who disagrees with us; unless you want to risk deletion over a misunderstanding, I suggest listen to my proposition of a more peaceful resolution to this endeavor."
Unity, had he decided to join Joker for this, would realize that this was a very marked change from Joker's usual methods. It wasn't his usual draw to avoid combat - if anything, the titan remorselessly flew into it, more than willing to destroy anything in his path. For more careful situations, though, Joker could be reasonable - he had no interest in either of their struggles. He just wanted the man's sword.
"I've come for that sword," he said simply, moving his eyes down to glance at the blade in 'Xion's' hand. "Give the weapon to me, and I promise to maintain civility. It isn't for the likes of you; you know not the power you wield, nor how to make use of it." Joker lifts up a hand and creates a small bead of crimson energy; seemingly infinitesimal, and yet incredibly dense. "To ensure I am perfectly clear, attacking me would be folly and fatal to the both of you. Maintaining civility is in everyone's best interests."

Feint looked disgusted at "Xion's" notion of "joining her" to fight off Joker.
" If you think for one second I wouldn't shoot you in the back the moment you turned around then you're as stupid as he looks. "
The look of disgust didn't fade as she turned to the gargantuan next.
" And look at you, on a little conquest for power. Off collecting special relics because you can't figure out how to get better without getting stronger? All you're doing is making yourself a bigger meal for a bigger fish later on down the line. "
If there was any fight, it'd be void of allegiances by the tone in the air. But Joker was somewhat right in that a non-violent solution was still there, which Feint verbalized as she turned back to "Xion".
" Fork over the sword that you're too reluctant to use anyway, like he wants. Take your minions and get out of my country, like I want. And then you get to avoid having to kill me, like you want. "
Win-win-win, lose-lose-lose for all involved parties -- she wasn't exactly the negotiating type, but it wasn't really a secret by now that she couldn't exactly be the one to swing first, else she would have a long time ago.
" Everyone leaves satisfied. "

Joker // Hollow
'Xion' looked, appalled, at Feint as she deflected his attempt at removing a common irksome individual from their lives. He wasn't annoyed with her as much as he was confused with her decision; he supposed he really was just far removed from his emotions, as he would figure the best course of action was to deal with the common foe before resuming their squabble.
Joker, far more steeled than 'Xion,' didn't waver as the woman taunted him on his mission for power; it was obviously an attempt to bait a reaction. He still held his swelling power within his hand, more than prepared to follow through on his threat. Thankfully, Feint seemed just as interested in a "peaceful" outcome as he did. He knew the sword was connected to the power he now held, and he wanted to figure out how; and he could also feel the power radiating from it, and knew that he wanted to continue to amass resources.
'Xion,' on the other hand, was in a much worse predicament. This sword had been gifted to him, and while that meant next to nothing to him, he wanted to follow through with what he was promised he could do with it. His new predicament, however, was to relinquish the blade or be banished. For all of his talk and showy antics, he knew that his most capable of skills were only useful against the correct foe; all of his other skills were to collect information off of for later. In short, 'Xion' was not truly 'Xion.' In a true fight, here and now, he would lose. He did not have many desires, but he knew he did not desire to die. While it was true he wanted the blade, even he had to respect the true purpose of giving it away to ensure it was used for its intent. A weapon was a tool of war: To use it for anything else was disrespectful to the relic.
'Xion' flicked a hand, a magnificent portal opening up. In one giant vacuum, all of the dark colony minions disappeared, being banished back to the dark dimension. He begrudgingly bequeathed the Polaris to the gigantean Navi, still glaring daggers at all present.
"Everyone satisfied?" He said, coldly, as he descended into his own shadow after the minions.
Joker holds the weapon in his hand, watching the energy across it shift from the black energy that 'Xion' wielded into a bright, crimson light. He studied the blade for only a moment before he allowed it to be consumed by a cloud of crimson energy, the blade breaking down and remaining only as a mark etched into his shoulder.
He looked up, just then, and back down at the young woman. "The NIA has a prospective recruit. He may decide to reveal himself, or he may return with me," Joker said plaintively, thinking about Unity, and thinking that the OS would probably be better off working with the NIA than continuing with him. At the very least, the OS would be out of his own mad, power-hungry search, and would be protected at least by the fact that the NIA was currently used as his employer's base of operations. He wanted nothing to do them, and would much rather be allowed to pursue his own wants outside of his orders. Unity would be a hindrance - because Unity would not agree with all of his methods, and Unity could be endangered by his decisions.
His task down, Joker walked through another gateway in the Net, back into his Satellite.

#s://i~imgur~com/cqKbnSa~png " ?! "
Some how, some way, by trying to provoke them into fighting her with full force, the two of them ended up leaving peacefully instead! Sure, she got part of what she wanted, but the "lose" part of her compromise was still a tough pill to swallow in the end.
" C-Cowards! "
Why, if she ever saw those two again, she'd... she'd... she'd really make them want to punch her, next time! Yes, that's exactly what she'd do! Then she could strike back and sate that restrained fury finally!
Nobody was left to hear her insult, though. She threw her gun at the ground and stomped it as she directed her anger at the inanimate object instead.
" Such a stupidly designed weapon... "
Like, was she not being mean enough?! Rude, demanding, downright insulting... how did it not bother them?! What did she have to do to be taken seriously anymore?! Say "please hate me"?! She literally would have rather fought and lost than be so disrespected!
She took a deep breathe after her little tantrum, grateful that at least nobody was around to see that -- whether or not her Isolator picked up the sound of it hadn't even crossed her mind before now, but it did remind her to report in to Grom. She spoke into it as calmly as she could, but still a hint of frustration in her voice as she reclaimed her weapon from the ground -- the gun showing absolutely no signs of damage from her outburst, as if also to insult her lack of raw striking power.
" Grom, Intruders are gone. Awaiting further instruction. "
If nothing else, she did ultimately do what she came here to do, just without any of the flare and bravado it could have been done with.
She really needed to pick another gun.

"You sound a bit ruffled over your success. But you can come on back now that the crisis is averted."
Whether or not he heard it all was hard to discern as it was something he could say from hearing it in her voice right now. Or over the fact that she had an episode before that, either or really. He had a few comparisons in mind to make for it, but he would let that sleeping dog lie. If only because a successful task was a successful task at the end of the day. Others would probably consider that it was rather easy to stop the problem like so, and yet by any other name, or rather, a lack of name besides the one that was used for this, it was just a simple engage and disengage. There was a subtle shift in Feint's vision then, but otherwise nothing else at the time for her rather anticlimatic return.

Feint squinted her eyes at the sudden shift in her vision. Not as if trying to clear it, but rather as if she'd been subtly signifying her awareness to its source. She stared silently into the middle distance for a moment, as if waiting for something to reveal itself, but then abruptly broke that gaze as she responded to Grom through her device.
" On my way, then. Seems there's nothing left here. "
And as if ignoring the phenomenon entirely, Feint turned her back and made her way to the NIA HQ once again as directed.
(Feint -> NIA HQ)
