Jinko materialized on the shore, not to far from Kosoku, and just before he started rambling off insults at Xyz. "Kosoku, you would do well to hold your tounge, at least until we gain some knowledge of who our true enemy is." Jinko noticed Embra not to far off, he walked over to her and started talking "Hey, any idea who we're gonna fight? Aside from the guy that happened to piss me off with his 'I'm gonna take over the world' idea." Jinko had already guaged his surroundings, he went back to Kosoku. "Judging from our allies, we would do better in support roles, you know, just stay back and use Shot type attacks."

[Finale] That's it, Kosoku was getting a knock in the head. A swift strike went towards the back of the 'Rogue Wind's' head, representing Finale's distaste for Xyz' mistreatment.
Finale: Excuse me good sir, but had I not used this very navi as a landing pad, I would be dead. Okay, you may continue what you were doing.
With that, Finale went over to inspect a certain soft voice he heard. . . Was Remnant here too?

Jinko noticed Kosoku hit the ground. "What the-?" when he looked up, he saw Finale standing on top of Kosoku, and be fore he could speak further, Finale walked away, so he helped Kosoku up and splashed water in his face. "Hey, wake up idiot. Even I noticed him landing, i would think that you were more attentive than that"

Xyzillentz rolled his eyes at Kosoku, sighing deeply. "You know, sweetie, a simple 'no' would have sufficed. No need to get so melodramatic." That hypocritical statement made, he turned to Jinko and Finale... although all he saw of the viral navi was his backside as he walked off. "And thank you two for the defense, but don't worry. Kossie here is just a bit... slow in the head. We're working on it."
He leaned in to the wind navi, whispering in his ear softly, hot breath blowing down his skin. "If you want to be on the winning side - as I'm so certain you do - then I believe you know that sticking with me is the right course of action. And don't worry, dear - I'll treat you QUITE nicely."
From this vantage point, Xyzillentz found himself looking straight across the small inlet they'd been dropped off near, and he noted two figures standing there, watching. One was someone he didn't know, but his appearance screamed "evil" - some sort of demonic guitarist. For a moment he thought of how nice it would be to have someone to accompany him. That train of thought derailed when he recognized the other navi - AirMan, the blowhard who had humiliated him at Aqua Net. His first instinct was to confront him rudely and aggressively - he had versioned up quite a bit since their last encounter (it must have been all the singing).
But then he realized that, more likely than not, he would be working with him in support of Samhain. Xyzillentz knew well that allies were much more useful than enemies, even to a villain. Perhaps some reconciliation was in order - after all, it was obvious AirMan was quite powerful. And besides, his initial reaction had been a bit hasty - he was really more upset about the interruption of his conversation with Trance than anything that the terrible turbine had intended. And now that the surfing cutie had disappeared to hell-knows-where, the time was ripe for a fresh start. He silently made up his mind, but made no attempt to get the attention of the men across the inlet. That could wait for the right time.

There was a brief flash of heat as Glassman shot from a portal,landing a short distance from the beach.
The scene before him was beyond tragic - the storm-like weather,the jagged rocks dotting the beach - the entire area was very unwelcoming...
Gazing over to the group that had arrived before him,he made his way over,still wrapping his mind around the fact that all of Creamland's network would be stuck in such a nightmarish form if this was left alone...
"Hmph...someone else who wants to take over,huh?" he merely said to himself.

"OW!"
Both of Kosoku's hands held the back of his head as tears began to form in his eyes. He wasn't so weak as to purposefully show his pain, but the punch from Finale was much stronger than he would have thought. Holding back his tears, he glared at his assailant with anger in his eyes.
"H-Hey! Only lower class Navis ambush others! It is weak for one to take advantage of another's short fallings while they are unaware. Apologize now, or I shall put you in your place, you masked vigilante!"
Kosoku wouldn't get his chance to exact his revenge before Xyz whispered in his ear. "How DARE you ask me to join you!" He didn't even try to keep their conversation private. "There is only one side that I will stand on, and it is a side that transcends what you would simply classify as 'good' or 'evil'. I stand on the side of victory and perfection: the side that will stand aloft on this island as its savior! You can either join me, or be crushed by my might! I suggest you stay out of my way if you know what's good for you."
A confident smile made its way onto Kosoku's face. He wasn't exactly making friends, but he wasn't one to blindly join others for the sake of sharing a common goal. In his mind, his pride was all he needed to redeem this land, and he'd stick by it to the very end.

Jinko noticed that Kosoku was ranting again, so he gave him what seemed like a breif tap on the back of his head with the but of his pistol. "How many times i gotta tell ya to shut yer mouth? they're not our enemy here, our enemy's in there."[/b]Jinko was pointing to the castle. "If you want to survive to fight him, i suggest you show some respect, even if Xyz is distasteful."[/b][/size][/font]

[glow=white,2,500] *Embera pulled Warrior close, her lips less than an inch from his ear. It was then that she whispered startling words to him.*
Embera:If you leave that one with me...He'll die by my hand...Since we have our past....it's up to you...I'll let you decide.
*It was then that Embera was approached by Sheep. She tried to ignore him, for his own good. Navis that can't protect themselves shouldn't be on a battlefield, that much she knew.*
Embera: Listen Little One...Go back somewhere safe. If you stay here, especially near me for too long, you're going to die...And I won't be able to stop that...so for your own sake...go away.
*Then the unexpected happened. Some brash fool just walked up to her as if they were friends, spouting nonsense about a fight, then just left her. This wouldn't do at all.*
Embera: Please excuse me...business calls.
*Within an instant, Embera was behind Jinko and, with nothing but her bare hand, impaled him and lifted him clean up.*
Embera: Don't you know it's impolite to turn your attention away from someone you're conversing with? As for a fight. I guess you could say that I'm now your opponent...
*With the raw heat coming from her hand, the wound she left was cauterized around her arm. Wearing him like a bracelet, she slammed Jinko into the ground to free herself. The gaping wound wasn't bleeding, but the pain and severity was obvious within the crater.*
Embera: Yield now, and stay down. One movement at all and I will delete you where you are boy...One false move, one false WORD, and you will die.
*With her mood re-shifted, she noticed Xyzillentz and Kosoku near each other and greeted them reverently.*
Embera: My apologies for acting so rash in front of you. I am Embera. I am sorry, but I have company currently waiting me, I hope to see you in the future.
*Embera jogged back over to Warrior and Sheep dusting her knuckles off from punching the ground. A fight started already, but she wasn't quite caring about it.*
Embera: I'm back now, is there something you wish to discuss further, Partner?
*Embera could see the change in Warrior's eyes, and hoped her name for him would show him the truth, and hopefully gain her an ally in this war. [/glow]

Warrior hadn't payed close enough attention to Embera earlier to notice her obvious change of character. It seemed she had let out her darker side as well. He took the opportunity that she was away, deealing with Jinko, to dismiss Wave from the scene entirely.
" Wave... stay out of Creamland."
Embera's warning alone would be enough to make him want to send the boy out of here, but as he predicted his perception of the future, he knew for sure that the 'do-gooders' here stood no chance of victory -- much less of survival. He didn't want to see Wave have to share their fate -- since he was regrettably on the 'heroic' team for this dilemma (which Warrior was probably at fault for).
"... What? I want to hel--" " Wave!"
Warrior didn't have time to explain by the time Embera had gotten back. Wave scooted in close to Warrior, to mumble something to him before Embera asked her question.
" Warrior... I don't think she's on our side..."
Warrior nodded side to side as he mumbled back to Wave, just a second before Embera started to speak.
" No, Wave. She's not on your side."
Wave eyes widened in shock as Embera called him 'Partner', and as Warrior's comment registered in his mind. He understood now. He took a step back from a navi he saw as his older brother -- half because of fear, half because of disbelief. Speechless, he stood there as the rain hid the tears that slowly crept out of his eyes.
Poor kid. That did it, but there was no other way to keep him safe than to just tell him. Warrior kept his gaze toward Wave, as he responded to Embera after a short pause.
"... One thing..."
Wave shook his head 'no' as Warrior kept talking, tears falling faster than the rain hit his face, hoping he could change Warrior's mind with his reaction. It was to no avail though, as Warrior continued.
"... Do we have a plan yet?"
Wave's body sort of collapsed as Warrior sealed his alliance with his words. Falling back on his butt in the sand, legs locked out and hands in lap, he looked down to the ground in utter defeat as his own 'role-model' let him down. He mumbled a few words. They were just barely loud enough to be heard past his sobs and the gentle sound of the rain.
" Faith would be... disappointed..."
Warrior sighed... His eyes looked away for a second, before going back to Wave.
"... Feint told you, huh?"
It made sense why Feint wasn't here, with Wave, then.
"... She's not coming... is she?" Wave nodded side to side. "... Leave the network, Wave. And if you see Feint, tell her not to come either."
Warrior notioned with his head to Embera that they should leave this side of the beach. There wasn't much left he could do here, and he didn't want to wait around for Wave to decide to leave (because it would probably take a while for the heart-broken kid to move on). Besides, being among their enemies didn't seem like such a good idea to Warrior. Sure, he and Embera could probably have wiped out most of them now, but Wave was still here.
They'd have to fight with all of these navii at some point, for sure. But hopefully by that time, his "little-brother" would be far away and safe from the hell that was Creamland, and from the hell it had yet to become.

[glow=white,2,500] *Embera chuckled a bit as the boy wimpered like a saddened pup. Nodding her head at him she looked dejectingly at Warrior.*
Embera: Still the poor fool ya are...I was kinda hopin' to burn the runt to cinders...Oh well, I left it up to you. As for any sort of plan...Who needs 'em? They'll leave us be, and if they don't, we'll kill them. I don't really care anymore, but this waiting is boring. There's gonna be a bloodbath soon if things don't liven up, I'm sick of waiting here...
*With an aggrevated sigh, Embera began glassing the stones at the sea-edge out of boredom.*[/glow]

*Having gone through the portal after hearing the speech, the pool of darkness poured through before it climbed up into a sphere. The sphere spread out until it formed a body near where Ruin and Airman were, and soon the eyes of crimson flashed through as Xion formed and looked around. It was a unique taste, though it wasn't quite what he expected after hearing the large number of colonies that had been conquered already. Besides, it was nice to have other people against them again, even if it wasn't as many as before. They were all focused on survival and all that before, the other people anyway. Looked like some of them were already up to being silly and listening to the laws of the new land.*
"This is a fun little mess here. I wonder how many of them will rally up this time?"

Jinko couldn't believe what had just happened, that girl had just slammed him down with enough force to kill him twice, and he survived. He sat up thinking (or rather, hoping) that she hadn't noticed him. "Man, and i thought girls were supposed to be nice, guess i was wrong." Jinko's knowledge wasn't in sociology, it was more in the feild of tactics, battlefield tactics to be exact. Jinko went back to Kosoku and Xyz after dusting himself off. "Was she crazy or what? man, just lookin' at her creeps me out."

Xyzillentz watched carefully as Embera ravaged the inexperienced navi, reveling in every painful, brutal second. He licked his lips a bit, out of reflex, mostly. It was slightly anticlimactic when she chose not to finish him, but there was something enjoyable about that, too - it kept the tension thick in the air like oppressive humidity. The girl waltzed over to her and shared her very polite greeting, and the snake smiled warmly. He turned to Kosoku, simply because they were acquainted. "I think I'm going to like her..."
After a quick glance over at a jewel-encrusted new arrival - pretty, but not terribly interesting - he turned his attention back to Embera. She was standing on the beach melting rocks near a male navi he thought he'd heard her conversing with. He called out to her in a formal, respectful tone, ignoring Jinko's irritating prattle. "Miss Embera, it would appear your little problem student has a few more lessons to learn."
Once he'd gotten her attention, he noticed another navi nearby - a young water elemental. He was sobbing profusely and shaking his head in apparent disbelief. Always one to relish the misery of strangers, Xyzillentz wandered over to the boy. Sitting down on a rock next to Wave, he filled his voice with as much concern as he could muster.
"What's wrong, little one? Learn something you didn't want to know?" That was his inference from the body language the navi had been using. "Go on, you can tell Xyzie. Let me know and maybe I'll help. After all, this is no time to be crying - there are important matters to deal with." Perhaps he would be able to get some useful information from the child to supplement his free entertainment.

[glow=white,2,500]*Embera had stopped glassing what looked like a fresh skating rink on the beach when she had heard Xyzillentz call her over again. Seeing the foolish boy stand again sort of ticked her off. This time he isn't going to be so lucky.*
Embera: I gave you a chance and you blew it....now it is time to die...
*Encasing herself in flames, she jetted towards Jinko, stopping on a dime behind him. Cocking back her fist, she only whispered a "Shhhh" sound into his ear. She then plunged her arm through his back, reaching up and grabbing his face.*
Embera: Good night....Take this slumber as a lesson...Know your place, and don't leave it...
*The second immediately following was the breaking point...literally. Embera, still gripping his face, tore it off of his shoulders, and pulled it through the gaping hole in his abdomen. Immediately following, she slammed it back into his empty shoulder-hole with enough of her own power into it, that it exploded on contact. Leaving nothing to remain.*[/glow]
*Jinko.EXE Deleted*[/b]
[glow=white,2,500]*With that finished, Embera brushed off her hands and nodded over to Xyzillentz. She had hoped to converse more with him, but he was busy with another runt she wanted to eliminate. Without any more destractions, Embera began boring holes into the ground with her fire-energy, converting it to lava just to pass the time.*[/color][/glow]

At the tip of the inlet where the two shores met, the gate to what used to be Creamland stood tall, locked and sealed tightly from the inside. What were once majestic spires now had taken on the appearance of devilish horns, and the metal on the gate was rusted and aged - but still strong. Impenetrably strong.
From this gate there was a sound like that of thunder, a large crash that resonated through the rain-filled air. Slowly, the huge gates opened, screeching in a loud protest. Behind the door was Nightwind - Lord Samhain's general. He stood over seven feet tall and had the general appearance of a humanoid horse, one with bulging muscles and a flowing mane of what seemed to be hair only from a distance - it was, in fact, dark energy. His skin and fur were pitch black, and he wore light, midnight blue armor crafted from a snakeskin-esque material, but thicker, harder, and with much larger scales; it was the hide of a dragon he had slain when he was a soldier in Samhain's army during the 637th Autumnal Assault. It hugged his form closely, the cuirass covering his torso almost entirely and leaving only the slightest of space between it and his lower armor. His gloves and greaves were made of this same material, allowing much-needed flexibility for his fingers and forearms. His boots were made of metal, but not any metal from this dimension; it was dull and light but incredibly strong. He had no helmet or apparent weapon, but he did have a strange stone in his hand - and a group of followers.
They were demons, vile creatures, each with six arms and two legs and heads like hairless goats. Their skin was dark forest green, their eyes burning red orbs with no pupils or eyelids. Their bodies were muscular but spindly; almost reminiscent of walking-stick insects. They all had tails that curled like a pig's, but they were long and strong-looking, and ended in an arrow. Most had no horns, but some had three small, sharp, bony protrusions on their foreheads. All in all, there were ten of the hornless demons and five of the horned ones. All of them stood perfectly still, staring unflinchingly at the gathering of navis.
Nightwind spoke, his voice cold and efficient. "Those of you who have come to serve the glorious Lord Samhain and reap the benefits - follow me and I shall teleport us away for your briefing. Those foolish heroes among you - do not attempt to follow. My demons will sense your virtuous intentions. And they will not take kindly to them."
With that he turned and walked back through the herd of demon guards and past the gate, leaving his enforcers to their jobs and keeping a quick, steady pace.

((OOC Notes: Those of you who will be fighting the demons should be aware they are RP-only for this battle. Any evil characters who wish to stay and aid the demons in their battle may do so, but it is still only RP. Hornless demons are weak v1 grunts, three-horn demons are stronger, smarter v3 fighters. Nightwind will not be a participant in this battle - you can try attacking him if you feel your character would, but it will not end well for you.))
