...aaaand she lost interest.
Something about the coast. She hated the coast! A matter of fact, she hated anything that made her think about that girl and her home. Memories of the beach came flooding back as if it was yesterday. Was it? It was hard to tell. After all, these memories just came flooding back to her recently. She thought about it...but only for a moment. She came back to hear the name Xion, to which she spun around and looked the netNavi up and down.
Her right hand reached her index finger, scratched, and pointed.
"...right." she pointed to Xion and narrowed her middle and thumb fingers towards one another. Shorter next time.
It was not said, but it was all shown with a few gestures of her finger and a very egositical show of bravado. After doing so, she folded her arms and went back to her memories that she had regained. The blob girl had seemed to ignore the backdrop of the surrounding NetNavis, dreary citadel, and cold only think about that annoying voice she would hear. The face of the P.E.T. she was usually in would face to the ocean. That was the main thing she could think about the moment the NetNavi mentioned anything about a coast.
Her right hand scratched, shattering the illusion and reaching to Xion. With one sweeping motion, she had pointed to him and then to AirMan, of course asking, You with him?

AirMan simply laughed under his breath, allowing this little charade show to play out between Xion and Nu. Xion's animated motions and manner of speaking wasn't too far from his normal, nonchalant attitude, but it was enjoying it none the less. However, it was becoming obvious that annoyance was taking root, so AirMan stepped forward for introductions, speaking first to Nu, as she'd so clearly been asking for it.
AirMan: My dear, this is a family member of the highest caliber, I assure you. Xion is a Navi who...
AirMan thinks for a moment, looking around the room before he continues.
AirMan: ...well, he could probably kill the lot of us where we stand at this very moment. Ruin excluded, of course!
AirMan laughs under his breath, walking between his guests as he does so.
AirMan: And to answer your question; the data that I mentioned? I will be counting on you to devour the lot of it, along with anything else that we can't directly use along the way.
Hoping that this would suffice, AirMan walks up and pats a hand onto Xion's shoulder, obviously happy to see him.
AirMan: Ho-HO! Speak of the devil, as it were. You've been missed, my friend. We have a bit of a job at the behest of a mutual friend. Interested in reaping the rewards with us?

*He definitely would have kept going if AirMan didn't speak up. Like explaining their association and such. He had a grand tale ready for that one too. She could practically feel it in his eyes if she were to look at them that her gestures just told him "Yes" rather than "No". Though he had one rebuttal to AirMan's claim there. He totally could take Ruin too! Now would it be easy? Heck no! But he still could! Not to mention if anyone besides AirMan would be used to how he fought, someone he had fought beside for years like Ruin definitely would. The prospect always interested them deep down probably, but there never a reason to pursue it. Even less of one now. Just maybe not at the same time again. That was a headache last time to keep count of that many bodies. That and another more subtle reason.*

Kill them all? It sounded like they were held ransom.
Nu did not look upon the two NetNavis mentioned with fear at AirMan's words. With the way he addressed them and fondly looked to them, it felt as if she could trust them just by those gestures alone. The blob girl put her hands on her hips, looking to Ruin and Xion gathering information the old fashioned way: looking at them through gazes and stares. She picked up little details about them, and worked off what little information she did not ignore of the NetNavi's introduction.
She batted an eye at AirMan's task given to her.
Eat a mass amount of data? It was no problem for someone like her. If anything, it just meant she would assimilate the system to be apart of her and get to reap whatever information that was being relayed through the system. Her tongue stuck out and licked the base of her lips thinking about it. All she had to do was be a glutton and then come home to Rosetta who would do nothing more than just ignore her whereabouts; as usual. After all, she trusted her enough, right?

Ruin simply stood by as much of the talking went on. He had already expressed his interest in the job, at the very least it would give him something to do for the time being. Cracking his knuckles, he was ready to get going, all this standing around just making small talk was rather boring, and while he didn't feel it as often as Xion likely did, Ruin certainly shared similar sentiments about the feeling.
"So when do we get going? I'm itching for a good fight, or a massacre, either works."

(+100 EXP to you guys for waiting so long for me)
AirMan thinks for a moment before turning to Tekla and motioning to Xion with a wave of his hand.
AirMan: Tekla, please get a file made of all of the important points that our friend needs to know.
Tekla nods and quickly compiles his list, converting it into a mystery data before handing it off to Xion.
AirMan laughs under his breath and motions to the data, turning his eyes to Xion as he does so.
AirMan: Please take a look, it has the best points of this job outlined.
AirMan then turns back to Tekla and Mode, folding his arms as he does so.
AirMan: Tekla, I want you to take a look around Hacker's N during this operation. Mode, I want you to assist from the side-lines. Get a hold of Lynk and Rapid, as they're doing the recon work for us. I want this operation to go as smoothly as possible.
AirMan turns back to the groupvas the two punk Navis teleport out to their destination, his arms unfolding as his palms rise in a show of openness.
AirMan: You are free to go to Creamland whenever you wish. Mode and I will assist you and tell you of any landmines that may be in your path.

*Xion took the data, accessing it and looking over what was in it. He looked over to AirMan briefly before going over the best points. The guy always knew the way right to his heart. As the other punk Navis left, he finished going over it. Now he was up to speed. He had wanted to pay Creamland a visit anyway. It was nice that someone gave him a reason besides because he felt like it.*
"Now I already know you have difficulty watching your step, Ruin, so I have to tell you too. I think it's hard for slime to watch that too actually though."
*They slithered places. Maybe she could slither between them? He didn't afford her the benefit of the doubt, but they would make it work. First was heading to their destination. So he sunk into darkness, making his way to Creamland.*

"Your wounds cut like a sharp blade against a wall Xion. Like a few landmines will stop me."
Following suit, Ruin opts to take the all too common dark portal route, opening its opaque gate before him before walking in. The gate closing as it is destroyed by whatever natural lighting was abound. It was to Creamland they went, finally a time to stretch his legs.

[From Com Square]
A blue beam of light shot down from the sky before landing in the middle of the sub-net.
"So, first thing's first. Better find a good place to test out these new enhancements....but where would I do that....need to fight as well....get stronger......kill legion...."
Kidd was muttering all of this to himself in a blind rage, careless as to whatever ears the walls might have.

_________________________________________________
Nu was about to dissolve into nothingness, but then...a stranger.
The blob girl had seen her share of interesting sights. After all, the big turbine NetNavi and his estranged mafia family was one thing and now this new NetNavi that was another muttering to himself, being crabby, and mentioning Legi-
Nu lifted a brow. Legion? Where had she heard that name?
Oh! That's right! The NetNavi that she was going to completely assimilate and rip into a million bits until he was nothing more than a fragment of data with no identity. The blob girl smiled at the thought of even thinking about his punishment. His torment would be something spoken amongst the most legendary of torture victims! His anguish would be an example that even the most infamous NetNavi would fear of feeling. However, that was one task...the bloated Mafia member's mission was another.
The blob girl had looked to AirMan with a cheeky smile and raised her hand to her forehead in a plank style manner. The gesture was similar to how a soldier would address a commander before the heat of battle. With nothing more than a grin and a roll of the eye thinking of the friendly, high school-jock like banner that Ruin and Xion passed between each other sounding like two frat boys in a proper Netopian locker room before a NetBall game, she had completely collapsed into a puddle of goo and seeped into the cracks of the Citadel's flooring.
Her mind focused on one mission, and the other part of her mind thinking about another pawn to perhaps add to her chessboard for later.

Kidd landed in the dead center of the area, before Airman just as Xion, Nu, and Ruin left for their mission. As he walked through the center area, one which normally would be impossible to teleport into directly, his mumbling caught the ears of one overhead.
Through one holes left in the security of the network, likely caused by Ruin's haphazard approach through the otherwise trap filled hallways of the citadel, a vibrant winged navi swooped in. Armor of gold, wings of white, radiating a light which dared encroach upon the darkness that engulfed the room. Held aback by Airman and his remaining lackeys, though the light fought to shine even upon one such figurehead of the underworld, it could not quite reach. Before Kidd stood this navi, towering despite only a minor height differential, as his radiance subsided from his landing, settling upon a warm glow. He looked to Airman, one that was hard not to know of despite never met him, nodded politely, and turned to Kidd.
"Pardon me... Kidd? Yes that would be your name. You seem lost, what consumes you so that you would wander here of all places?"
The golden winged navi spoke as if he knew Kidd, yet with the formality of a first meeting. His face somber with concern for this navi he had seemingly never met, yet his eyes told of a deeper concern, like one would expect a friend to have for his comrade gone awry.

As Kidd faced the one speaking to him, he realized that he had never met this navi before, at least not to his knowlege.
"Against my better judgement, I will abandon the sarcasm associated with the standards of social protocol and get straight to my two points. Point one, complete destruction of a certain amalgamation of living pieces of data. Point two, restore a sort of balance to the net. Let's face it, even most darkloids don't like the new leader of the ONB."
This was, in fact against Kidd's best judgement, because not only did he not know this navis name. He also knew not where it stood as far as the balance of the net.
"So, if you'll forgive my brashness, I need to find some way to get stronger, and fast."

The winged navi shakes his head slowly, his concerned look changing to a warm smile. Indeed, the second point he was fairly familiar with. Gate's subversion of the ONB was certainly a netwide issue. The way Kidd put it however, that Darkloids dislike it, was sort of strange. But the first point was concerning, as was the final point. Indeed, looking over now, this navi certainly did have the initial tinge of darkness, a taste of corruption, and the desire for strength that so often lead one there.
Old beliefs would have him attempt to snuff out evil in its infant stage by force. Yet those old ways of the Knights of Radiance are days in the past. Not the right thing to do. Time has told that, the Knights having long disbanded after the Eternal Endgame
"Strength huh? Yes I suppose that's what many seek in this time, just as they have in times past. Such is the nature of this world we live in... but I ramble.
What strength you may seek here is not such one you should aim for. It is a false power known only to those weak of heart and devoid of reason. If you seek power, for whatever reason you might seek it, I'd advise you to seek it elsewhere. Of all of the powerful navis I've known, the strongest refrain from such crutches and fight on their own power rather than the falsehood of Darkchips."
The navi shifted his left arm away from his body as his wings which folded around him shifted, his body turning half away from Kidd, the sway in his wings showed his red covering over his right shoulder, and the lack of arm beneath it. His eyes looked toward the repairing hole in the Dark Citadel's Firewall which kept people from leaping into the center of it usually, before looking back to Kidd, he extended his remaining hand.
"Come with me, if you wish to find strength for whatever purpose, I can at least set you on the right path. Better than this place, I can assure you."

Kidd looked to this person inquisitvely. Power? This person q as offering power?
"Well now, you've got my interest. So, where and what is this power you speak of? I must see the source for myself. Also, not giving up my property. These things have proven their worth."
As Kidd spoke, he tapped at the pocket that contained the dark chips.

"In time, you will come to see. For now, we should take our leave. The hole we came in from is closing, and going out the front door would yield greater trouble than its worth...
As for those, I would advise you be rid of them regardless, you'd only fall to greater depths and hinder your own growth relying on such fragile crutches."
The navi kept his hand extended, beckoning Kidd to take it so that they may leave for another area more suited for their needs. Careful introspection and training is such that one can achieve their true potential, though skipping a step you are all too likely to fall down a few. So many wanted power quickly, oblivious to their continued natural growth. This navi hoped to perhaps fix that in at least this one, lest another fall to the depths.
