Along the outer wall and just inside lies the residential area of the Dark Colony that was once Creamland. Due to the island status of Creamland, which was mirrored with great care in their networks, there is very little room to build. As such, apartment-like areas are built into the outer wall and other thin, wall-like structures inside. Windows peer out from the wall as if it were a massive building. The entire length of the wall, save for the gates at the north and south, is matched by a lawn that the apartments share, fenced in from the other narrow buildings. This area exists as a ring around the central Dark City, and the two castles at its center.
Samhain's Curse has covered the walls in coats of grime and blood. The wide-open yard is covered in dead grass and what appear to be bones. Inside each apartment are defiled walls and weathered, creaky furniture, all surrounded by thick cobwebs. The large fence around the lawn is covered in razor-sharp barbed wire, and all the navis have been captured and transported elsewhere, leaving behind only the minions of Samhain and the colonists of his dimension.

Jinko was the first to make it off the beach. What he saw was even more horrible than what he had seen there. Dead navii and Virii everywhere. "Damnit, why does it have to be like this? Why here?"Jinko couldn't take it anymore, he began shooting at anything and everything that he could. He just wanted this nightmare to end, so that things could go back to normal, and no-one would bother him anymore. As the tears flowed forth from his eyes, he stopped shooting, he was now a broken navi. There was nothing more that he could do.

"Hmph"
The area was oddly deserted. Or rather, Not oddly deserted, considering the recent events. Finale scanned the wall. Nothing. No way in for miles. They'd have to think of another way in. That's when Finale noticed an odd navi yelling at trees. He decided to check with it to see what was wrong.
"Yo, Dual-wielder? What's wrong?"

This was exactly the type of thing that Jinko hated.
"What's wrong?! WHAT'S WRONG?! DO YOU SEE ANYTHING RIGHT WITH THIS?!"
Jinko was gesturing to the area around them.
"It's people like you that make me sick, not even concerned with their environment so long as they get to bust a few virii."
Jinko had had enough of this navi's care-free attitude.
"How can you just stand there and not feel anything for the people that lived here, that died here? They gave their lives trying to protect this place even when it was too late, they didn't give up, and you actually see something right with them all being dead like this? they didn't even get a proper burial."
Jinko had long since dried his tears, he was far too angry to cry. He then picked up a near by shovel, and started digging graves for the deceased.
"You just gonna stand there, or are you going to help me?"
Jinko pointed to another shovel, not too far off.

Like that, strange dark blue navi walked towards the duo. His face was rather flattened, and his garbs were skin-tight, with cyan pieces of armor adorning his shoulders, boots and helmet, the latter which had what appeared to be a fan sticking out.
?: Well that's quite simple, y'know...we're all just bits of data. This whole network itself, and the navis inside.
The blue navi walked around the group and smirked, examining them.
?: Tell me, why do you feel so attached? you yourself were deleted, and yet you're back, good as new. What's to stop them from doing the same? Solo navis know the risks involved being op-less, and that's their problem. I don't understand why you're so upset about this, kiddo.

[Finale] "Why am I not concerned?"
Finale spun and kicked roughly at the bones. The other Navi was angry for some unknown reason. He really was a fool.
"Because the corpses are fake."
Finale walked away, not giving Jinko eye-contact. He was still waiting for Wave.

Wave came running in, trying to catch up to Finale. That guy moved alot faster than Wave thought he could, so he fell behind a little bit while following from the last area.
Not the friendliest looking place here, either, to say the least.
" Sooo... what's our plan?"
Wave totally missed the cyan-armored navi and Jinko -- his tunnel vision and mono-focus were to blame for not even seeing those two.

[Finale] "Our plans to get everyone else out. I don't care about Samhain, but we need to get the people out in case the curse becomes permanent."
Finale grinned and lied. Up until this point Finale didn't have a plan, but by the looks of it the direct path to Samhain would be impossible.
"We'll need to find a way in first. Looks like our greatest enemy will be a wall. Should've known."
The only way looked as if it were up, and the chances of scaling a wall that tall was pretty low.

Wave picked up a small bone, hurling it at the wall. According to Finale, it was their 'greatest enemy' for the time being.
" Stupid wall!"
The wall didn't budge.
So... insulting it didn't work...
Wave scratched his head while trying to think a way to beat the wall. Seconds later, his eyes shot wide open and his face lightened up, as if some sort of light bulb went off in his head.
" Hey! I heard a story from Warrior one time, a long time ago. It was about an army that couldn't get past a big wall... Soo... they marched around it alot of times... and yelled at it... then it just fell!"
He was a little inaccurate at re-telling the the story, by accident. The faith of a child was one to be admired though. It seemed Wave was actually quite serious about this.
" We can try that!"
It was a long wall, though, easily stretching for miles. No time to waste then -- Wave immediately began marching in an infantry-like fashion alongside the obstacle. This seemed almost more like a game to him, than anything else. But atleast the kid was getting his mind off of the other stressful things that were previously bothering him.
Ironic as it was, he still hadn't noticed the gun-wielding navi, nor the fan-headed one as he marched off.

[Finale] "That. . . might actually work!"
Although Wave's idea by itself was. . . 'Fractured', Finale had an idea that would go right with it.
"Okay, Wave here's what we'll do, I'll throw some kunai down around the wall as I run, and you'll chain them together using this:"
Finale handed him a chip, it was an Special Emulation, one of Finale's signature attacks:
S. Crescent Wave Shot Wind A simple wave of Wave's hand sends a blast of air at the enemy. (252)(Received from Finale)
"That'll hit the kunai, bounce off and hit the next, it'll end up causing a tornado that should give us enough lift to get over the wall. Every 60 seconds I want you to shoot one off. And don't stop walking in this direction either! By the time we meet up again we should have enough lift to make the jump."
Finale threw down a kunai to show Wave what he was aiming for, and started running, leaving a trail of Kunai behind him every 5 or so meters.

Wave shrugged and followed suite. this would certainly take a while, but it was worth a shot. Having to constantly count up to 60 got tiring after about the first time, so Wave just decided to give a 'safe estimate' of when a minute had passed, before each Crescent Wave shot.
Naturally, the first ended up being 10 seconds after Finale had dropped the first kunai, the second was about twenty-one seconds later, the third at about three minutes later (he got side-tracked by a funny looking cloud in the sky), and Wave's pattern continued to fluctuate in that strange manner, as he continued making his way in the direction he was headed.
Whether it worked or not was none of Wave's concern -- he himself had no doubt that it would, in his child-like mind. Benefiting most from this was Wave's happy-nature starting to come back, rather than the depressed little kid one would've thought him to have been, had they seen his attitude on the beach just recently.
"Tornado Blast! Pyew Pyew!"
... He couldn't help but give his own unique name to the technique Finale had given him.

[Finale]
A short while later, Finale had met up with Wave, and although there was a tornado, it was incredibly, NOT tornado like. A gentle breeze at most. Finale wasn't going to name names, but it was fairly obvious that this was because somebody forgot how to count to sixty.
"Well, that didn't work. . ."
Finale sighed a little. There was less then a month left, and this wasn't going anywhere. He decided to take the cheap way out, and messaged AD.
From: Finale.exe To: AD Subject: Help at pride wall! Body: Look, AD we've had our differences, but if we don't work together we're screwed. All we need is you to blow part of pride wall to smithereens and we are in. Get over here and quick, else Creamland might not be save-able. . .
Maybe that will. . .

"...fake...Of course, this is the net, they would have to be fake..."
Jinko stopped digging and moved towards the wall. He noticed the reason that no-one could scale it.
"It's completely smooth. Well, i'll just have to FIX that."
Jinko shot up the side of the wall. When he looked again, he noticed that there were no bullet holes.
"...the hell?!"
Jinko punched the wall with all his strength, but all he got out of it was a bleeding hand.
"...hey, how do the people get through offline? isn't there a security code or somethin'?"
He was speaking to everyone at once.
"If there is, then we just need to get that from whoever has it. Then we could save more of our energy for the real fight."
Jinko had his mind set on destroying whoever called him here.
"Once i get done with 'lord what's-his-name' there won't be enough of him to sweep up."

*A PING instantly returns to Finale*
To: Finale.EXE From: Creamland Postmaster System Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Body: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Delivery of the following letter to the following recipients failed:
"AD" From: Finale.exe To: AD Subject: Help at pride wall! Body: Look, AD we've had our differences, but if we don't work together we're screwed. All we need is you to blow part of pride wall to smithereens and we are in. Get over here and quick, else Creamland might not be save-able. . .
*A few seconds after the e-mail returns, a large shock-wave explodes out from a few hundred yards down the wall, the sight of one of the wall's towers crumbling following a split second later. The blast causes the ground where the Navis stand to quake as the main force set against Samhain rushes in, unwillingly led by the Armored Destoryer.
The first inside, the destroyer makes his way to the first clearing and stops, clenching both fists and looking around in silence. The scene felt too quiet now, and something was obviously amiss....*
(OOC: Creamland only has one wall guys, and officially this topic should be INSIDE of it.....)

Jinko made his way into the clearing, right behind the AD. He noticed a trip-wire right in front of AD, among other traps, obvious or not.
"Looks like they knew we'd come this way."
Jinko pointed out the not so obvious traps.
"For example... this trip-wire right in front of you. Whoever did all this really went all out. To shorten a long explanation, most of us will most likely be deleted here..."
Jinko was even then thinking of a plan.
"... However, there are two ways i can think of with minimal risk of deletion. The first, AD goes and trips all the traps, seeing how strong he is, he's probably just as tough. Second plan, We move like this."
Jinko jumped over the trip-wire, ducked under some lasers, dodged through rolling boulders, easily evaded projectiles fired from holes in the walls of several houses, and arrived at the castle exhausted.
Location Change: Pride Castle
