((I'm just gonna have shade take the back-seat for a bit, focusing on Jinko as always.))
While shade watched from his seat next to Nightwind, Jinko was recovering from the blow he had taken. He stood in time to see Iria toss a water navi directly at AD.
mental note, get on her good side, and stay there.
After seeing this, Jinko definitely did not want to anger the fire navi.
"Wait, Iria, believe it or not, he did help us in the autumnal assault. I know, I was here when it happened."
He wasn't sure why he suddenly remembered her name, but something definitely clicked.
"We were few, but we did what we could for the net. It was myself, The big guy, Warrior, Wave, Finale...I think, and a few other navis. We did what we could, but Samhain had allies here as well, so we ended up far outnumbered and outgunned. After that, this thing came and interupted the restoration process, and deleted Knightman and the green tempest. He helped us then as well. After all that, I think he's earned a break."
((Memory flood.))

*With the Navi thrown at him, the destroyer quickly spins around to meet his attacker, grabbing the water-balloon thrower in mid-air and tossing him to the side before locking eyes with Iria. Walking forward to meet with the ONB member, he stands in silence... until Jinko speaks. He then raises one arm without looking, points it to the Navi, and fires off a single shell. The bomb impacts at Jinko's feat and explodes, sending him backwards several feet from the shockwave as the attack's originator speaks*
?: I don't need anyone to come to my defense.... nor do I need to defend myself.
*He then turns full attention to Iria, crimson eyes locking with an unyielding glare*
?: ....it's painfully obvious that you can't back up your words. We both know that I'd obliterate you and your forces before you could do anything about it. The most you could do is lock the network and force me to do so.
*With that, the destroyer then drops his arms to the side, standing at ease*
?: ....this part of the war is over. I have no more reason to fight against your kind. The entire reason for the old labels is dead. It's time you give up your game of pseuto right and wrong and fight for survival.... not a dead ideal.

[bgcolor=3D3D3D] Iria's facial expression remained completely straight as the destroyer approached. His words unlike Phenoix's did not fall on deaf ears. Her calm demeanor betrayed by a simple bead of sweat rolling down the side of her face. He's right on one front but completely wrong on another. she thought to herself, before responding.
All of ya speak of fighting for survival. It's not different at all from what I'm doing now in trying to bring you in. Most civil net denizens survival comes from navis like me putting a stop to navis like you... She paused for a moment, living was kind of important so she had to choose her words carefully since unlike last time with Ruin, she was not in control of the situation. Iria crossed her arms and started tapping her left arm with her right hard.
...However, from what I've heard this latest usurper to peace is strong on an unrealistic scale. It would be improper use of resources to not use what's available. Her humbleness was slowly turning back into her old 'You will do this' attitude.
Now I've got a question for you. You as well Mr.Bad Summary*. You both say 'fight for survival'. How do you expect to do that? What plan to do you have? Again from what I've been told this thing is a lot stronger than either of you so 'fighting it head on' is dumb.
*(That's Warrior)

*The destroyer shakes his head at Iria's words, turning his eyes away*
?: ...you still haven't figured it out.
*The armored Navi then returns his gaze to Iria*
?: I haven't met this monster yet, but I already know what it's capable of.... and I know that a frontal assault would be useless. I also know that if you go around imprisoning Navis with designs that could be any use at all against this thing, you'll have the blood of everyone it kills on your hands. I don't know what needs to be done yet, but it's always been my goal to stop whatever is happening.
*He then lowers his head slightly, looking to the ground before turning around*
?: ....and you won't have to worry about "bringing me to justice".....
*The destroyer then begins to walk away*
?: .....because after this is over, you'll never see me again.
*Not giving anyone a chance to respond, the destroyer teleports out of the area, leaving behind those who remain*

The water balloon caper was wearing an almost ear to ear grin as he was having his fun...until sudenly he found him self face to face with a very annoyed Iria. Before she threw him he managed one word. " Hi?". Then he was suddenly flying towards AD, he didn't care at first, finding his trip through the air was pretty fricking sweet actually. Now if only he had wings and a dart gun...
His musing quickly were interupted as he was nearing AD, who grabbed him and quickly redirected his trajectory, now aimed at the ground a few feet from AD. He was still shaking the cobwebs out of his head from the sudden change in flight, and realized what was going to happen a tad bit late, hitting face first, skidding a free feet before coming to a stop.
"...owwwww....." he mumbled, not getting up right away, his face hurting and seeming to be ignored thus far, he quietly whimpered to him self, sad that his game was not fun enough for them he figured.

Glassman smirked as the water balloon burst on impact,glad that it wasn't a harmful 'attack' for a change.
He paid attention as several details were revealed to them - Knightman's deletion and the verbal exchange between Iria & the Armored Destroyer catching his attention the most.
Eyes fixed on where A.D had been,Glassman wondered what the navi meant by those last few words...
"That can't be good..." he muttered to himself,looking up to see if anyone had any other plans...or if Iria was going to have her way here.
While Glassman was pondering over the current ongoings,Fernalius' eyes fell upon the one who was flying a moment ago.
Seeing no reason to leave him there,Fernalius reached out and helped the water-navi get back on his feet.

[bgcolor=232323]((Applauds Shast for demonstrating how not to get Story-deleted in certain situations))
Warrior stopped in his tracks again, as all of these events went on. He turned his head to Iria's question, showing a little irritation at his new dubbing. He let the Destroyer answer and teleport out before he responded for himself.
" Not by arguing with it or asking it a bunch of stupid questions, that's for sure. The monster learns from its enemies as it fights -- copies them, even. I'd rather have fought it alone, since there's nothing it can learn from me that I can't handle. But incidentally, having allies stronger than myself was my downfall. And it's simply too strong for one Navi to destroy, at this point."
Not to emulate Iria, Warrior crossed his arms as well. His head tilted down and his eyes closed in his "Warrior-pose" as he continued.
" Hitting it head on? You're right -- it's stupid. Generally, we don't have much of a choice but to do that when things show up and pose a threat, so last time, we didn't get the chance to plan."
" At this point, I don't have a plan."
Warrior eyes opened to meet Iria's as he paused for brief moment, before continuing. He sort of wanted her to hear the next part, so he made sure he had her attention before he said it.
" But's that's no excuse to remain passive about the situation, or be reluctant to act."
" I'll find a way to stop that thing, or I'll find somebody who already knows how. There's nothing new in this area, to my knowledge, so there's no use in wasting time checking around. If I have to search the entire world -- both Real and Virtual -- I'll find this thing's weakness. And if nothing else, I'll get stronger in the meantime so that I'll be ready for another head-on collision with it... should it come to that."
And with that, Warrior turned back around. He took one step away, but stopped in his tracks to say one last thing to Iria, over his shoulder.
" ... What's your business here, anyway? An ONB Squad already came through, and evidently got what they needed... So why did they send more of you?"
Were they just sent here to ask questions about what had happened? ... Was the ONB really this far in the dark? Or perhaps they weren't sent at all... Perhaps the ONB hasn't told it's members anything, and Iria and her group were putting it on themselves to learn more about the recent crisis...
Regardless, it did seem a bit odd for this to have been the only ONB activity Warrior had seen since the Autumnal Assault. A part of him was hoping they would have more information than he did on the recent anomaly, but judging by all this... he really wasn't sure.
''A new, unstoppable threat has emerged on the Net'' wasn't exactly something they could work with. But by the looks of things, that's all they had at the moment.

Jinko had taken quite the blow. He had been knocked through several walls of the new dark castle. As he woke, he noticed the large holes in the walls he had gone through.
"Man, does he ever ease up?"
The question mattered not at the moment, for it did not take him long to drag himself out and realize that the armored destroyer was not there. He soon walked back to Warrior, wondering what other information he had, and noticing that Iria also seemed to be near him.
"So, from what you're saying, this enemy is the type to stay away from. If we see it, it would be far from wise to engage."
This was where Jinko came into play. He wasn't much of a leader, and no-one really listened to him, but he was great at making plans that were sure to work.
"Hm... you said this thing can copy the attacks of others, right? There is most likely a limit as to how many attacks it can copy at once."
Then he realized something, his enemies were in the area, and he wished not to have them hear his plans.
"Iria, I'm heading back, but I'm gonna need to talk to you about this thing."
And with that, the navi dressed in black beamed himself back to HQ.

[bgcolor=3D3D3D](Total beast, etc etc.) ---
Never see him again eh? Only if it means he's deleted, permanently. Iria listened to Warrior's words. He was brash and cocky for sure. Once he finished he turned to walk away again but stopped again to ramble off another short quip.
As Jinko came back and started to vocally brainstorm Iria glanced back at him but did not think of him, more of where to go next and he just happened to be there. The bladesman departed and invited himself back to the ONB, she still had an uneasy feeling about him, but he showed some initiative, and could apparently take a punch.
Her stance stayed the same and her eyes kept scanning the bleak, dark landscape that used to be the festive Outpost she would visit on slow days. It sucked now.
So what you're saying, is you're where we are now. Looking for someone who has a plan. The fact this is a dead spot seems pretty clear cut, you're right we already had a team come through and extract some information from the area so we're done with it. I'm merely making rounds looking to see if anyone else has an idea. Evidently no one does.
She purposely neglected to mention anything related to the ONB's database being slicked. That was not something the public needs to know about.
Someone mu- *smack* Another candy bullet hit her in the arm, causing her to wince a bit. She turned to the dancing candy-holic that was Li Pink and shouted at him, due to distance.
WOULD YOU STOP THAT!! LUNATIC!

The water balloonist was still whimpering to him self when the virus came to try to help him up. The navi ignored the help favoring to get up on his own power, still thinking everyone was not happy with his game selection.
On his feet his face had roughed up patches of skin and a few scratches at different point. Nothing serious but his desire to have fun with these navi's was shattered.
"MEANIES!!" he yelled, then ran off away from the group not entirely sure WHERE he was going.

*Ran found himself unable to take much action under the firing of gum at such velocity as to delete him. Of course, the gum could've rolled into him in order to delete him, but that's neither here nor there.*

I WOULDN'T BE SHOOTING IF THERE WASN'T ANYTHING TO SHOOT AT!
And there was truth to what he was saying.
So he decided to chase off all of the navis in one go. He tossed the gatling gun into the air, followed quickly with the other weapons he made, each and every one of them converting back into the pink energy they were created from. What comes up must come down, so the energy came back down as a large blob of pink caramel that soon formed into what seemed to be a fifty foot crocodile.
GET EM' PATSY!
And of course Patsy charged at the navis intent on eating most if not all of them.

While most navis would probably be running, Shade just started flying around, throwing lightning bolts at the caramel mess.
"Hmph, idiots, it's just a liquid. liquids have boiling points."

A video screen with his Operator's face on it appeared next to Glassman after the beast had been created.
"No way! He combined all of his weapons into a SUPER...alligator?" the young man spoke,not entirely sure what to make of the situation...nor the candy-crazy navi.
Glassman sighed and turned toward Iria.
"I believe we're done here...?" the crystalline navi asked his ally. Being eaten wasn't on his agenda...

Iria locked eyes with Glassman and gestured with her eyes back to the caramel monstrosity that lumbered towards the group.
I'll admit, that is a huge amount of caramel. Too much for my sweet tooth for sure. She glanced at the flying vampire who was shooting bolts of lightning at the monster.
Flying might as well be cheating. Yes, we can go. Just before leaving she turned to Warrior and got the final say
You know where to find me should you come up with something. Though given what you've said so far, you seem to think you can take on the world alone.
Then she teleports out, at the forceful wishes of Li Pink, backed by the suggestion of Glassman.
