At first, Nightwind turned to reply to the newcomer who had addressed him with some shock. Could he really not know what was happening? His attempt to explain was cut off by the message from the traitor Xion, which he watched with gritted teeth. Figuring this stranger would have learned most of what he needed from that, Nightwind proceeded to unfurl his wings, flap his way up into the air, and address the colonial citizens nearby in a deep, booming, authoritative voice.
"Do not believe his lies! He is not here for us when we need him! He has no interest in the future of the colony or the will of Lord Samhain! He abandoned us, and our great ruler revoked his title! Xezzukhz is the true governor, and even now, he watches over us in the angry storm above! Do not allow yourselves to be swayed by the seductive words of this outsider! Stand with Xezzukhz! Stand with me! Stand with Lord Samhain, or suffer his wrath!"
Several of the citizens appeared confused or frightened. Some retreated into their homes or other nearby buildings. Some did their best to casually walk away. A few approached Nightwind and clapped, bowing out of respect. The seeming leader of this small group spoke up.
"General Nightwind, it is a pleasure to see you once again. We will stand with you against the interloper!"
Nightwind landed and nodded solemnly. "If only more of your neighbors shared your loyalty and resolve..."
Nightwind turned now back to the strange newcomer. "You! Join us now or be destroyed!"

"To take back Governor Xezzukhz' throne, of course! Were you not paying attention?" He crossed his arms as his nostrils flared angrily. "There are too many neutral parties in this conflict as-is. I will not allow you to reside here and impede our cause! Swear your allegiance or be deleted!"

As the esteemed general Nightwind speaks down to BoB, something taps on his shoulder to get his attention while speaking from behind....
?: S'cuse me, but a neutral party is better than an enemy, right? What say 'ya let the lad go on good faith, hmm?

Nightwind turned, icy eyes burning with fury.
"And WHO are YOU?"

The Navi looks on to General Nightwind with a smile, revealing a kind face... but also a glint in his eye of extreme aggressiveness. He lowers his gloved hand and takes a step back from Nightwind respectfully, motioning to BoB as he does so.
Challenger: Oh, just someone here lookin' for my friend over there, or someone you'll sorely regret pickin' a fight with. Th' name's Challenger.
Challenger's tone betrays the earnest nature of his statement, and makes it obvious that it's not a threat, just a statement of fact. The boxer had no intent to challenge Nightwind, but also no intent to let him threaten BoB any farther.

"He's your friend, hmm?" He grunted and shook his head slightly from side to side. "Then perhaps you can explain what he - or you for that matter - are doing here, and why it is I should not engage you."

....those last words.... Challenger's smile becomes almost wild as he reviews them in his mind. His fists tighten and he can feel his blood pressure rise. The opportunity to fight Mr. Ed here was something that he would relish so greatly, purely due to his own love of fighting. But, unfortunately, his friend is on the line here.
Challenger: Can't speak for Bobby, but I came when Xylophone sent out his message in hopes of getting a good fight.
Challenger raises a fist, placing his free hand on his forearm as he does so with a smile.
Challenger: Fightin' is my heart, and new Navis to spar with are my blood.
Challenger then lowers his fist, unaware of the fact that it could have been taken as a threatening gesture.
Challenger: But I guess 'ya don't want none 'o that. As for why 'ya shouldn't engage me?
Challenger's smile darkens as battle-lust fills his eyes, his fists tightening once again.
Challenger: Can't for the life 'o me say!

A moment of clarity flashed through Nightwind's head. If he were so eager, he probably had a high opinion of his own chances... and Nightwind didn't know anything about him. Perhaps it would be unwise to engage in a sudden battle unassisted...
"If you do not plan on assisting our cause, then you should leave immediately. Powers beyond your comprehension will be arriving shortly to clear out our enemies."

RainMan finished materializing into the Dark City.He was still a little shaken up from nearly being deleted by spirt bomb but aside from that he was okay.Well maybe not so mentally but physically he was fine. RainMan over heard some shouting around the corner.
"If you do not plan on assisting our cause, then you should leave immediately. Powers beyond your comprehension will be arriving shortly to clear out our enemies."
RainMan walked around the corner,did he just walk into a politics meeting?
"Uhh...Whats going on?"RainMan asked a Navi who was just standing by watching.

Jax His eyes skimmed Xions message, but it was quickly disregarded as Nightwind continued his boisterous claims and pledges of allegiance. Moving at a pace unlike him he runs towards the source of noise and in a mere moment is upon the group.
Leaping into the air and brandishing his weapon a tuft of gold and black darkness, Jax brings it down with enough force to splinter the cement and send a shockwave of jagged earth at the talkative Trojan Knight. Those around him would either get out of the way or taste the same assault.
The trail quickly begins to ripple out and weave a chaotic black and green energy through the pavement. Before anyone can react the entire block was covered in a thick layer of grass and dirt.

If B.o.B. had a jaw it would be on the floor B.o.B:"Challenger! You" are alive! Where have you been B.o.B. explains after recognizing its old friend. Running over toward him. then Jax's assault lands sending debris everywhere, B.o.B. just barely jumping into Challenger to knock them both out of the way.

RainMan saw a Navi go fly up in the air with a meaning to attack.
"Come on!"RainMan said.RainMan then turned himself into tiny droplets of water in order to avoid the attack.

Nightwind was so distracted by his heated conversation that he was caught entirely unawares by Jax's attack. The strike sent him soaring back several yards, slamming into the newly-planted grass and taking a significant amount of damage. He pushed himself painfully to his feet, rage in his eyes as he glared at his attacker.
"And who are you, interloper? Another of the treasonous warriors who would stand against Governor Xezzukhz!?"
Nightwind could tell just from the attack he had taken that this aggressor was stronger than he. But he could not merely sit back and allow himself to be deleted. If only Xyzillentz and ElecMan were here, he thought. Together we might overcome this menace...

Jax
Weak. He thought. Seeing the knight crumble beneath an opener like that. The collective had scattered leaving a direct path to the opposing general. Ignoring the taunting remark from the still drizzling Rainman Jax raises his weapon and hurls the massive tool directly towards Nightwind at with tremendous force and no spin. Almost pulling himself along.
Jax catches himself by turning his body and stomping the ground. Assuming a rough horse stance from the waist down and cracking the plush earth around him; While his arms in conjunction make a dragging throwing motion in the knights direction. As he does so the fractured dirt and grass along with large chunks of cement fire themselves in a shotgun spread in the same direction.
