Fulgur pales." ONB has fallen?" Well, there went his dream...The young reploid blinks at Kidd's question, then nods." Y-yes...he should be along any minute now....I went ahead to meet any trouble that might bar our way.."He adjusts his cloak, and looks down the path, examining it for Finale.He hoped he didn't run into trouble.

Down the path Fulgur gazed, the navi he awaited did not appear. Instead, around the corner came an old navi, slowly trudging down the path cane in hand. His dark coat and hat covered most of his face, save some facial hair that had long since lost its color the the salt and pepper grip of age. The old man continued his slow approach along the pathway, each step could be seen as a challenge as if it was a struggle just to move.
Age was not often a huge issue for Navis, yet this one displayed it much like a human, along with looking much like a human than a navi, though in the past few years that has become often more common.
In due time with no others appearing on the path, the old man finally reached the three stationed waiting for Finale. As he neared closer, something else became apparent to the two. Faintly around this man the network seemed to desaturate into a grayscale color scheme. As he moved along, the color seemed to return, though it was notably paler than before.
Finally within speaking range of the group, he trudged up to them, raising a hand as to catch their attention, though he quickly retracted to cover a cough that escaped as he attempted to speak.
"Excuse me.. Good sirs. But could I have your time?"

Finale enters the area, slower than the others, weighed down by his stolen sword and broken body.
Stopping more than earshot away, noticing the growing group. A convoy. The opposite of what Finale wanted. Sighing with distaste, the once-king continues his tread, arriving just after the elder navi had made his request, stopping and folding his arms, silent.

A silver-haired women donned in crimson and white clothing nonchalantly traverses the area. She pays little mind to the group near where Finale stood, merely noting their presence while going about her own business here.
And what business was that, one might wonder.
Her intentions were simple -- this was the last location a friend of hers had been seen, according to Warrior during their recent, brief crossing of paths. In search for clues of a friend she had lost would best describe the reason she'd arrived. But so far she seemed to be amounting to nothing.
In truth, she really wasn't even sure what she was looking for, but Nymphra wasn't one to give up before at least trying.

Rosario looked over all the heads. An outlaw Navi, a nervous wanna-be police officer, a broken king, and now an old man? What a strange group he's been attached to now. For a second though, he thought he noticed a young lady direct eyes towards his group before going out of sight again. Could he have imagined that, or were they being watched?
Either way, he thought as he smiled faintly, this isn't too bad.
"Now then, since we have everyone gathered--" Rosario turned to the old man and slowly bent down to one knee, resting his injured arm on his cut-up leg. "--What can we help you with, sir?"

"Well, if you don't mind accompanying us to the closest sub-chip dealer, we'd be happy to listen to whatever you have to say. As it stands now, two of these navis need a full energy sub chip. But feel free to say whatever you think needs to be said."
After saying this, Kidd started scanning the general area looking for someone that might have sub chips. He found a dealer not too far away, and started walking in that general direction.
"Alright everyone, this way. Stay close, and try to avoid wandering off."

Fulgur smiles in relief as Finale reappears, though he was slightly uneasy being surrounded by so many strangers.He spies a silver haired woman examining the group, and tilts his head,before focusing on the old navi." Mr. Kidd, could y-you perchance wait?" He waits till the elder answers Rosario's question.

The man fumbled about slightly, shuffling his feet. His head tilted downward slightly so even as Rosario knelt down the navi's eyes were still hidden by his hat. Placing his hand on Rosario's shoulder, the old navi spoke with a tired and raspy voice, soft in volume and hoarse.
"My apologies gentlemen... But I think I'm late for a meeting with an old friend. Please, could I have your time?"

His good hand on the man's hand. It was gentle, and weary. Rosario wanted to make sure he could help this man out before they headed to the sub chip dealer. He gave a sharp glare to Kidd with shining blood red eyes, before gently looking at the old man's hat again with gentle, cold red eyes.
"It seems sometime around afternoon. If I were to guess, I would say one o' clock."

"One o' clock? oh..."
That man looked downtrodden, as if just hearing news that a friend had died. His hand slid limply from Rosario's grasp as he hobbled just past the navi.
"I suppose she's gone now, no way I'd make it in time. The years have not been kind to these old bo... this old programming. I'm not quite as young as I'd used to be. Nothing like you young ones. Walking around with wounds like its nothing. Where do you get your energy? What I wouldn't give to be like that again, or even feel that way for a second once more."

Rosario gave a small smile as he stood up again. He turned back to the group.
"I am sorry to hear of your unfortunate occurrence. If there is any other way we can assist you, please let it be known. Otherwise, let's all start heading onward everyone. Mr. Kidd, you may lead the way."

Having nothing to do with massive parties, Finale turns on his heels and walks.
Warrior walks by Nymphra.

Rosario back tracked and slowly walked toward Finale.
"Where are you going? You are too injured to be on your own. We must find this, Ion for you. It's better to stay as a larger group."

To those who were looking at the old man, his head tilted up just enough to see a single eye. Sclera of black, an iris of solid red, almost mechanical in nature. His eyes were sunken in and tired, but a smile crept across the man's face as Rosario offered his help to him.
"Yes... There is a way you can help."
The man closed the distance once more to Rosario and placed his hand on the navi's arm.
As the tone sounded Rosario could feel his energy leaving his body. Not just his structural integrity, but it seemed his very strength was leaving him. His skin wrinkled and sank, his eyes grew tired, his movements slowed. Humans called this process aging, though it often took place over decades. Rosario was feeling the effects in seconds. The old man next to him grew from his slouched position into a more upright man, about 6'3" at his full height. His mustache receeded, and his cane disappeared. The grin on his face turned to a smirk as he towered over the crippled Rosario.
"OH YEAH! That's the good stuff! You young navis always have so much to give even if you don't know it! I sure hope you all are ready..."
The man reached out his hand to the air as a pool of some strange force gathered at the ground beneath him. From the pool raised a pole of jet black, a void even, as if staring into it was nothing at all. Grasping the pole as it passed his hand the man's smirk widened as both his eyes were visible as the eyes of a Reaver. The pole stood still for a moment, before a great curved blade jut forth from it, the scythe having taken full form.
"BECAUSE DEAV IS HERE!"
With the announcement, Deav took a massive swing with his scythe at the surrounding navis Kidd and Fulgur, making it very clear he was here for something more than just idle chit-chat.

After barely avoiding the scythe, Kidd spins around whilst drawing both his revolvers and unloads on Reave before saying "Okay, no". After this, of course, he retreats to the rooftops calling back over his shoulder "Catch me if you can!" as he runs and jumps from roof to roof.
