*He was disappointed that the one he considered a punk rocker was against setting the building on fire so vehemently. Really he wanted to watch the hothead do it just so he could get a laugh out of it, but it wasn't the idea he would've gone with himself. He jumped down from his perch up high and landed down low, looking toward the eyes that had sprouted out now. More interesting by the minute with this one. Well, this all looked like it fit the bill. And he wasn't much in the mood for putting in a facade in this particular scenario.*
"Hey, BuildingMan. I want to chat with you, if you can. Just pop a mouth or something up with all those eyes too."
*He wasn't perturbed by the eyes because his company over the past years included someone who used his own leg as an axe for a while, a man who liked rocks, a walking fan, a flamboyant snake, and a goo monster. The walking plague could also be included in that list. In short, his level of freaked out or put off took a bit to reach. It was also balanced by his level of interest in something, which was high enough here already.*
"I mean, it's that or RockGal chunks more knives at you. Not that it was very effective to begin with."

Kajira arched a brow at Serix as the woman approached the building, either joking or just hinting that she was going to burn it down. EIther one of them would not be a good thing, especially considering there were people still inside the building. She opened her mouth to speak, then, but there was no need as Esperanza jumped on it, thankfully (and hopefully) curbing Serix's firebug instincts.
Before Kajira could see what happened next, the popup appearead before her, and she blinked, looking it over. Darkchips at a discounted rate? Now that wasn't...no. She'd gotten into this mess by navigating to the link about the catfood without realizing that it was going to do this to her. The last thing she needed was to navigate to this one and deal with even more of these popups. Giving a small exhale of irritation, she closed the image before her...and then was treated to the sight of the building having a number of eyes now all over its 'body.' She didn't even know what to expect, though the yelp that had building up she swalowed hard, not wanting to show her fear.
Unlike Xion, Kajira was not nearly so comfortable with the sight that she was seeing. Not to mention that there were hundreds of eyes now of varying size and shapes, all pointed directly at her and her allies. The woman's hands tightened, mostly out of fear, as electricity danced up her arms. She didn't quite move behind Xion, but she did move closer to him, trusting him more than she did any of the others that were here, much as she hated to admit that. She felt like she should trust Serix more than she did, given the slight history the two women had working with the ONB but she had just found herself in Xion's company a great deal more often.
However, Xion then went ahead and spoke to it, as if he were just talking to any other Navi. She narrowed her eyes a little, not quite sure what was going to transpire here. "Whatever this thing is, there are still people inside, Serix. Do not light this on fire. Ex-ONB or not I will arrest your ass immediately," the woman spoke, her tone quiet, terse, and displaying more fear than she'd like before she glanced to Xion. "Are you sure that it's safe to talk to...whatever this is?" she asked, curious.

As the knife clanged against the wall, Serix was already in motion. In an instant, she closed the distance between herself and Esperanza, and punched at her face.
"Don't ever throw things at me."
After a moment or two, she registered Kajira's comment, and her expression softened a bit. Turning her head to look at her, Serix winked before speaking.
"Honey, as much as I would love that, I don't think there's enough time in the day. I mean, maybe when we're not busy. For now, we still need to deal with this-"
A gesture was made towards the building, using her index finger.
"-thing....whatever it is."
With all said and done, Serix turned back to face the building once more.

Esperanza observed attentively how Serix went from her original position over towards her, delivering a deceitful smile the closer she reached her objective rally point, grinning by the time the female navi threw a punch at her face. The navi with fuchsia hair barely altered her movement, the most noticeable being how she adjusted her spine slightly in a upright position, maintaining absolute control of both her stance and breathing pattern by expanding the muscles in her abdominal area, before savoring the intense flavor of the impact squared to her elegant, smooth visage.
The impact left a discernible bruised mark, but equally as noticeable was Esperanza's arm extending out in the open now with her original Persian Craine that she had since Kajira and her left the park, which the tip of the blade was now currently nudging where Serix's jugular vein would be located. After the female navi in military uniform commented over the situation, a pink aura energy formed over Esperanza's face as it healed off any sign of previous damage she had received, "Don't worry about the time of day... Your time will come soon enough... For now let's handle one situation at a time.. But when it does arise once more, please hit a little harder for me next time," she said with a masochistic tone of voice as she winked at Serix with her left eye.
Esperanza then maneuvered pass Serix's own arm with the tip of her knife still sliding gently around her throat, before pulling it off from the back of the female navi's neck once the mysterious navi with gray armor began to speak to what appears to be an abomination of a creature. Mal stared aggressively to the beast with her Persian Craine palmed onto her hands, passively waiting on the creature response.

The armored one had addressed him. Why? Or had he, really? Was he BuildingMan? He supposed he might have been, given that his form had merged with the building in its entirely. He was the building, now. But should he talk back? Would that be okay? How did he knew if this was something that he should do? What if the man worked for the Syndicate and was trying to bait him out, so that he could be discovered?
Wait. He could see. Not only could he see, but he could See. From angles of all sorts, he could See them all, the four of them standing there looking back at him as if he were some sort of abomination. But he wasn't one. No, he was created for a reason- he had just forgotten what that reason was. Could he form a mouth to talk? Was this something he should do or should he just...wait, in secret?
There was no secret.
His exterior was covered with eyes and now there were starting to be yells of concern from those who had approached the building. The eyes moved, away from the four and to the small group of Navi that were now gathering outside of the building, pointing at him. At him.
At him.
All at once, the eyes closed, turning back to brick, to paneling, to the roofing. Everything vanished in a moment.
But the talk continued.
He could hear them, those others, talking about contacting the ONB. To see if there was something that could be done. Perhaps it was a glitch in the system and it needed to be examined. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He wouldn't go back.
>I won't go back<
The words were less something spoken and more felt. Not heard in the mind, but felt, down to the very core of the code of all that were standing nearby.
>You can't make me go back<
The building moved then, and screams began to emanate from inside as the foundations began to tear up from the ground, twisting and breaking as they began to form something a little more humanoid in stature. For those gathered around, the number of active navi from within the building dwindled as they were crushed, torn apart or simply impaled on the building as it adjusted itself, beginning to tower over the surrounding landscape.
>I will not<

*Crimson orbs flickered to look over to Kajira as she edged closer and addressed him. He would poke a bit of fun at her about this later for sure given her tone of voice when she addressed the one he promptly ignored. As long as the two that weren't Kajira didn't make too much noise and annoy the situation to a point where it started to annoy him he was fine. As for her question on whether or not this was safe or not...*
"Probably isn't safe at all. But it's about as safe as attacking it would be too. Besides, I--"
*Then he felt words less than heard them. He had pushed out the outside interference to the point where he hadn't even noticed the other people gathering around. He would have to note to not do that next time so he could preemptively attack and/or scare them off before they agitated the situation next time. If the guy had escaped from somewhere then it made sense why he was acting like this. It was something that he knew of, except he was different. He took action rather than flee. But not all of them could take action when they had to run from people. Some just had to hide from them in fear. Like Resonance does with the OEL for example. Getting out of his own thoughts, he noticed the building starting to move. And that certainly meant that the concern for anyone inside was completely pointless. So much for the morally upstanding approach.*
"I mean, I can't take you back to a place I don't know. But I don't think you're going about this right either. Guess we're doing it this way then."
*After all, even if it was sort of just moving, BuildingMan took out a whole building worth of folks in that one move. And while that didn't bother him in the least and he would praise the guy for having very effective take-down methods, that wasn't how this would play out. So he sighed. He had to get this guy to chill out first and this served as a secondary objective now. He got to practice his demolition skills to see if he was up to snuff when he had to go help build a club in a bit of renovation. So ignoring the complaints about arson, a ball of purple flame came to his own hands that he flung straight at the building. He wasn't going to be the guy to try and mount a rescue attempt in a building that could try to kill anyone inside of it.*

"If it isn't safe then why-" Kajira hissed, before the altercation began between Esperanza and Serix, the woman turning her withering glare onto them. Was she dealing with a group of children? Throwing tantrums and fighting amongst themselves when there was a building here that had EYES all over its walls, or body, or whatever it was!? And Xion wanted to talk with it!?. She didn't really understand what they were all talking about and what they were even wanting to do?
She blinked then as she realized that there were a multitude of Navi that were already here, and already looking at the thing before them. She cursed aloud- she'd forgotten about them. She wasn't technically supposed to impersonate an officer, but... "Ladies and Gentlemen, please evacuate the premises. This is an ONB matter and it appears there is a-" she began, trying to shout at the people across the way when the words from the thing hit her. She didn't hear them, didn't get them in her mind, but instead felt them. Like there was code rushing through her body. The woman blinked, trying to determine the source before her gaze was inevitably drawn back to the building.
Kajira opened her mouth to shout another warning when another burst of the felt words hit her again, and before she could even begin to think about moving, the building itself began to shift. Screams from within started to reach her, and her eyes widened, taking a small step backward then. She couldn't have even begun to know how many people were in the building, but the data coming from it lessened immediately, and she realized just from merely moving, this...whatever it was...it was killing all those navi inside. Her eyes narrowed, before she took a half-step forward, intent on trying to save those still remaining inside when Xion hurled a sphere of violet flames at the building, then. "Xion there are people in there! the woman hissed, even as she moved forward, trying to get closer to the building.
It was lashing out in violence...she had the implication that it didn't know much better, judging from the words that she had felt in her core from it. It was created somewhere but...who would create some unfortunate, damnable creature such as this?" "I'm on it," a low growl emanated, the wolfbeast standing at the edges of Bayside. So it was here...if what they told him was true, it wouldn't be long to find it. And that was...exciting.

As the screams began, Serix turned around, as if one of her heels were stop a dime. While watching the scene unfold, she readied six swords crafted from purest flame, and launched them towards the building. At the same time, she began drawing in any fire data she could find from within the area.
"Nice work, girlscouts. You saved absolutely no one. Now do something to help clean this up."
As she spat out the words, her metaphorical blood was rising, from a mix of seething anger, and a rush of adrenaline. She couldn't save anyone herself, but she could at least help to avenge the fallen. Those near Serix might notice a faint glow surrounding her if they paid attention.

A gray and red navi with a kind of gray hard hat with built in red light appeared with dark brown eyes standing about six feet tall. He smiled surveying the town of Bayside that looked quaint to him that's the only word that would come to mind when he looked the place over which was fine for him. He was a digger by nature and as he walked along the town's streets deciding which exhibit he wanted to see he thought of what it would be like to dig under the water. The bottom of the sea in a dive suit digging away must be the best feeling in the world.

Esperanza slightly slanted her eye brows' diagonally from left-to-right while she was observing EdificeMan seperate himself from the ground below. Screams could be heard resounding loudly from various navis who were stuck inside; ceilings and objects could be seen tumbling all over the place, and the damage increasing further in unison with the creature movements. Mal's facial expression changed discretely, burning with brimstone, now settling her anger onto the monster. You have to be **** kidding me right now!?!, she said to herself.
Esperanza tried to come up with a quick SAR plan, but then noticed that one of the navi who was hanging around with the group of outcasts, threw a ball of flame at the building. She wasn't sure whether the intention was to destroy the buildingman, the people or both, but concerning over it was not important in comparison to the current dilemma. Mal's Persian Craine deteriorated from her hand, she turned towards Kajira, Figure out a way to keep this monster from causing anymore damage! I'm going in! I'll try to get as many people out of that abomination, before there's anymore casualties!
She took a few steps back before sprinting as fast as she could towards the building. Esperanza ran towards the direction of the ball of flame and, using all her strength, leaped as high as she could. The purple ball of flame that the navi threw exploded before Mal had the chance to reach the EdificeMan but the heat that expelled from the flames burned her skin. As she began to descend from the air, Esperanza grabbed unto the closest unnatural ledge that was made from the explosion with her left arm. She proceeded to climb inside cautiously to what seemed to be an office space.
Prior to commencing her search-and-rescue mission, Esperanza looked at her arms, still heavily burnt and in excruciating pain. She forced her regeneration to kick in immediately, even then her skin didn't heal properly all the way, and maintained some of the damage she obtained from the explosion. ...!, she looked at hands dumbfounded before stepping out to search for survivors once her right hand slightly twitched.

The large, towering amalgation of building turned toward the direction of the ones that had been down below, aiming to incite it with flames. Why were they doing this? He just wanted to leave. He wanted to go somewhere away. Far away from people. Far away from everything that would be causing him harm.
Those that were nearby, with the sole exception of Esperanza, would almost feel as if they were in a dream of sorts. The BuildingMan, EdificeMan, MassMurdererMan, depending on who was viewing him, didn't move, but the distance to reach him seemed to expand infinitely. Moving toward him would feel like a dream, like trying to run down an endless hallway.
>Stay back I will fight<
For those nearby, it was now starting to feel less liek words, less like he was trying to communicate, and more that simply these were his thoughts and feelings and they were, much like it seemed his ability to warp the very reality around them, strong enough to affect them. It was the intention of what he spoke that was pushed across, less the actual words themselves. There was no conscious thought, but sheer instinct.
>Do not<
This one only Esperanza would feel.
However, then a powerful pulse emanated from the building at that point, and those nearby would feel something...unnatural as a recourse from it. Esperanza, at the heart of it, would feel it the most. Her regenerative processes, her defenses, it seemed to simply melt away. Her appearance would not change, but the data that rendered her so defensive seemed to simply go...inert. Serix too would note the flames starting to fade from the weaponry she had crafted, and as they launched forward, the remaining bits that struck the building were little more than embers. Kajira's electricity would fade from her, leaving her without her blinding speed, her ability to summon and control the very storm that she channeled. And Xion would feel the touch of darkness being pulled away from him, leaving him without its protective veil.
>I will destroy<
Within, Esperanza would find a few Navi in rather...horrifying circumstances. The floor, the walls, the ceiling seemed to hold an almost putty-like texture and the Navi, not build for combat, were being pulled into it. She would see torsos, limbs, faces, all pulled into the creature's body and still moving. A cry of help came from a male some distance away who had managed to evade it for the most part, though his leg was caught within. He looked at Esperanza pleadingly, even as the body moved, and a great portion of the ceiling simply caved in, showering the path with debris of various kinds.
>I will destroy<

"I know people are in there, Kajira. I'm not jumping inside a building that eats people to try and save people that are going to be eaten. I can give you cover fire by tearing apart some of the building, but who knows what it's actually like inside, right? Ignoring the screams anyway."
*One of them took the crazy initiative to jump inside. Really? Well, tough luck for her then. She could give a play by play from the inside and maybe let it be known which parts they should blow up first. That was his intention anyway, until distance seemed to become a bit of a problem. His eyes narrowed. It was likely a shift in perception and not actually real. Or at the very least, it was very real but also not real? What, was he dealing with the aftermath of Truth and Deceit now? He was especially doubtful with the lastest feeling he had. After all, feeling what he was originally shackled with before he became its master leave him? It was an interesting prospect, but not something he took to be entirely literal. More importantly, however... these shifts in reality... anyone looking at him would notice his eyes were displaying glee.*
"Talk about a lucky break indeed... I want him."
*It wasn't in a dark or malicious tone that he voiced his thoughts. How far could it be taken? How much of it was real? How much of it became real because that was simply how the other guy wanted it to be? How far could Xion make it be taken once he got his hands on him? His thoughts were swimming right now, but he couldn't get his answers. Not so long as their man was trying to leave. If his goal was to get past an ever increasing distance, he would simply have to destroy everything between that distance and himself. If he had to go without the darkness he had always known, then he would ravage the person before him with his unadultered force.*
"If you want to try and save anyone, make it fast."
*Did he absorb an element fully? Did he need to be struck by it first? If so, then he just had one shot to deal with this. So he would do so without his usual means and simply do so in a straightforward approach like he would with Iria. And so he stepped back rather than forward, breathing in and out as his eyes stayed trained on the building, distant or otherwise. And raw power began to well up. What better way to learn than through hands on experience, no?*

Kajira cast a glare over toward Serix. "Of course not. Aside from the few hundred gawkers. Get the hell off your high horse, Serix. No one could have known this was going to happen." Kajira hissed at her friend before she noted the woman beginning to gather the fire element data from around her, forming weaponry and the like. She growled low under her breath, not quite sure what to do...when she saw a Navi just moseying toward them all as if he didn't have a care in the world. "I don't know who you are, but unless you're going to help, you should get out of here!" the woman called, before turning her gaze back on the edifice before them.
Before Kajira could seek to offer anything more, Mal was already going, the pink-toned Navi wanting her to keep it from causing damage while she went right into its maw. "On it!" the woman spoke, beginning to drift to the side, her unnatural speed driving her onward as she wondered what she could actually do to something this large. It was literal stories tall, with the entirety of its body having been formed of the building around it. She didn't even understand how that worked let alone how to fight around it. It was like nothing she'd ever seen before in her life- it was nonsense, all mixed together into a smoothie that was gagging her with its insanity.
Kajira paused then as she glanced back at the Building...only for her to notice that he was suddenly a hell of a lot further away than he'd been a moment ago. "What the-" she began, hissing under her breath, the woman not noticing the fact that the entire world was stretched between them- she had figured that it was her opponent simply moving away from them while she had been distracted. She began to sprint forward then, going full-out toward her foe with everything that she had...when the pulse radiated out from it.
The woman felt her fingertips, which had been tingling with electricity, go numb, and her legs began to falter slightly beneath her as she paused, looking up at the thing, confusion etched on her features.
BL4K3: Kaj, what's going on? Your data is going haywire over here!
"I don't know...whatever this thing is...it's...it took away my ability to manipulate electrical data. I don't...know what this is," she admitted, even as she looked on, a bit at a loss. The group around the thing had paused as a clear pulse of energy had come out from it. K-414 didn't know what it was doing or what had happened, but the Navi was excited now. He saw the woman's blurring speed slow to a crawl. Saw the fires of that other one peter out and die. Whatever this foe was, he was strong. K-414 recognized Xion down there as well who seemed to be looking at the giant building with more than just anger like the women were. Xion's Angels, it seemed.
The wolven navi gave a shake of his head, before he moved, clearing building after building, his momentum and excitement increasing with each leap before he approached the moving building itself. He could feel manipulations to his sensory data occurring and his systems were overwriting them as soon as they came in, causing the thing to appear multiple distances from him...but K had a good idea of where this foe was. Launching hismelf forward, his claws bit into the building then, the beast beginning to clamber up toward it.
"UNIT 1021, YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO STAND DOWN BY THE ANIMUS SYNDICATE!" the beast howled, before rearing back with his fist and slamming it down into the building itself, aiming to cause a major impact and get the thing to stop. Stop moving, stop resisting. Whatever it took.

Serix tried to summon another fireball, but it fizzled out right in front of her face.
"Well, that's new."
After a few more attempts, She opened up a window to contact Sara. A few moments later, Sara stepped into view.
"What now?"
"I seem to have lost my ability to manipulate fire data. Get some battle chips ready."
Serix then started towards the building, before taking note of the wolfman.
"Huh. Well, that's one way to do it."
After a moment of thought, Serix disappeared into another building, climbing a few flights of stairs to get to the roof.
"If he can do this, so can I."
Getting a running start, Serix leapt from one building to the next trying to reach BuildingMan. If she did, she would use the volcano battle chip on it's roof, to open a hole.

As Esperanza was starting her initial search through the abomination of a building, she began to feel an immense pressure that over took her body while walking from room-to-room. As time progressed she could sense something extremely strange but something familiar that she hasn't felt in a long time. It was faint in the beginning but increased by the second the more time she spent in the building. Mal looked down to observe her arms again and noticed that her regenerative powers has stopped healing her body, or at least the part that's was still in need of repair. "This is going to fun?,..." Mal said as she rremembers telling Kajira the first time they met that life was lacking excitement as late for her. Truly that wasn't the case anymore..
As she focused on continuing her search, Esperanza walked into a another room where all these navis were being consumed by the creature with putty. One after another she saw how their body were taken limb-by-limb, an eye-for-eye kind of ordeal. To what benefit does this thing have to gain from destroying and devouring everyone? As she stood in shock from what she witness in that moment, Esperanza heard a plead of help from a male navi who was a distance away from her position. One of his legs was trapped in the same putty-like substance that consumed the rest of the people in that exact room. Esperanza stared at the stranger and shouted, "Hold on for a bit longer. I'm going to get you out of there!." She extended both her arms and on each hand her signature Persian Craines materialized within her fingers. She rushed towards the navi but as she was getting closer, a large chunk of debris landed on her head. And there it was again, that familiar sensation she felt earlier. What's with this feeling that was so hard to discern? Esperanza had a revelation that her defense ability was turned off as well the whole time!?! What she sensed was excruciating pain.
Esperanza fell off balanced for a brief moment before regaining her consciousness again. Her body trembled uncontrollably as the pain increased from the previous altercations she received prior to entering, in combination with the debris that landed on her head. The pain were enough to bring her down on one knee. But as she was going to tap out, she could still here the male navi shout for help. Esperanza didn't know what would be worst? Giving up on herself or on another person? So rather answer that question stupidly, she picked herself up and pushed closer to the navi even as the pain began to intensify even more than usual...
