Now it was Inori's turn to blush. Her face lit up like a tomato and her arms collided together as she leaned forward. She looked as though you could cook an egg off of her face.
"I-I am not lost! I just, you know, am doing some window shopping!"
She flips her hair, lays her hands on her hips, and turns away from Nightshade.
"I am a girl of high quality after all! I always have to keep a look out for expensive things!"
With that, she paraded off again down the street.
.... Is it left or right..
She takes a left turn and continues to head down more.

Nightshade jumped and ran towards her. "Hey wait up! That's a dead end!"
He saw her blush. Despite her bad behaviour she was a really fine girl. Cute even. He followed her all the way into the empty hallway. He let out a small sigh. He gently walked over to her and softly grabbed her hand.
"I can help you navigate around here. I know the place. You just have to trust the cat navi." He gently tugger her the opposite direction.

Inori was at the point of being ready to exhume fumes.
"Y- I-.. Fine! It's not like I need your help, but I am getting rather tired of having to do all the thinking and leading to the arena so I'll just let you lead the way!"
She allowed herself to be tugged from the shameful dead end of the road. As they walked, she wondered how long it would take to find Rosario. Then she saw something move in the dark. She let go of Nightshade to quickly materialize a cannon...
"SCUM!"
..and fire it rapidly into the dark, the recoil to throw her arm all the way into the sky. When the smoke cleared, it was just her imagination as she de-materialized her cannon. After another awkward moment of silence:
"... Um. Let's keep moving.."

Nightshade went pale when she shot the dark. She was crazy, but that crazy? She really did attack anyone she thought they were bad. Another strange thing was that she was actually allowing him to hold hands with her. Maybe she had finally written off the "nightshade is a bad guy" stuff.
He squeezed her hand lightly, tugging her again to the right way forward. "W-would you please calm down? I will bring you to the arena, but please don't destroy private and pubblic properties..."
The arena was of course, well lit despite the dark atmosphere. Still, at that time of the night it the building was obviously closed and mostly deserted. Nightshade wondered if that Uni would show up there. He hoped he wouldn't be crazy like Inory or he may had to fight again.

"Okay... good. Finally we are here. Now, how do I get inside? I have never actually been to this place."
Inori detached from Nightshade and headed to the entrance. The pop-up read "CLOSED" but of course, that wasn't going to stop Inori. There just HAD to be some sort of scum hiding inside doing Lord knows what. She looked at the walls of the arena. Though practically smoother than a baby's bottom, maybe she could climb them anyway? Decisions, decisions.
"HEY! CATSHADE! Throw me up over the wall!"

"Isn't that considered trespassing?" Nightshade commented walking over to her and examining the walls of the arena as well. "Also, my name is Nightshade."
He hopped to the side and planted his claws into the ground. He lowered himself and united his hands. "You know I should technically arrest you for doing it...if one of my workmates sees me I am boned."
He got ready to buddy boost her.

"Lady Inori. Don't even think about it."
Inori shriveled up as she slowly turned around.
"U-Uni! Hiii! How goes the search?"
Uni stood a few feet away. How he could've snuck up on them so easily was a mystery. His legs were literal, wide tree trunks that grew thinner as they proportioned up to his body. His torso was composed of metal armor, cracked and chipped in multiple places, revealing a strong glow of green underneath. His shoulders were adorned with large, shell shaped guards, and his arms were a compile of marble; similar to his legs where his fists were large and they grew thinner towards his body. His head yielded no helmet, but instead a piece of cloth tied around his forehead, and concealing the top of his head. His mouth was covered by a metal guard, and his eyes were a pure green glow.
"Inori, your mother expects much of a young lady like you. Should you truly be acting so rambunctious?"
Inori crosses her arms once more and starts whistling while looking towards the sky.
Uni sighed, though not audible, it was able to be noticed through his body motions. He then turned his attention to Nightshade.
"And you are? Hm.. your credentials are blocked... are you a member of the ONB?"

The cat like navi shrunk down as the new guy towered above him he silently stepped forward and offered his hand, although after a very visible shy shuffle. Nightshade's tail curled around itself, exhibiting its owner's nervousism.
The guy didn't seem evil...but he knew Inori. He better avoid mentioning anything about dark and shadow.
"I'm Nightshade. As you said, I am part of the ONB"

Uni held out his finger and shook Nightshade's hand. A probable good improvision.
"As a member of the ONB, or just as a Navi in general, why are you hanging around this misfit?"
"Hey, Uni! Watch it! I will cut you to pieces after I find Rosario--hmfpppfhmmfpp!"
Inori walked up to Uni, but he simply held her face back with his hand.

Nightshade sighted and shook his head. "Loooong ass story finishing with her trying to purge me, me having to defend myself and ending with me striking her down with a lightning. I am making sure she doesn't cause some trouble by killing innocent people off the streets only because of their coding."
The cat navi snickered when Uni stopped the girl dead in her tracks. "She does have a soft side, and it's very lovable. But all the bad ideas she has in her head make her into a pretty explosive package."

"I see.. yes she's always been that way. She can't exactly help it either."
Uni let go of her and she ran into him, quickly back stepping.
"Inori, Crush is calling me back for now. He says this is enough searching for one day. Come back when you like, but please don't get yourself into trouble."
With that, Uni's data decompresses into the sky.
"... Sigh. Shade, should we just call it a night? It is getting pretty late.."

Nightshade tilted his head. "Uh? You are asking me? I am the one following you around here." He looked around. "Do you need me to walk you somewhere? I could do that, if you so desire."

"D-don't get the wrong idea. I just thought maybe I'd repay trying to kill you--"
Inori's sentence was interrupted by a sudden darkened blade piercing through her chest. Or, actually it was an arm, darkened and impersonating a sword. The arm lifted Inori and held her up to his right side. Her core's corruption begun to appear in a swirl where she was pierced.
Rosario stood tall behind where Inori once stood. He wore a dull white suit, complete with a crimson red tie that matched the dark, blood red of his eyes. His right arm held Inori, while his left arm held an open book to his chest, the front and back covers too slanted down to be seen. Rosario had a smirk on his face as he licked Inori's data off his arm.
"I told you we would continue this later wouldn't I? So, explain yourself some more, or Inori will purge. What is the ONB currently up to? Don't try to lie to me--I've been following Inori since she logged in. I heard everything."
The darkness from Rosario's arm seemed to start absorbing into Inori's core, causing it to whirl quicker. Inori couldn't speak and just kept twitching and struggling.

"What is the ONB up to? Well..."
Nightshade moved so fast it was impossible to react to. Rosario's face was met with the cat navi's trademark flying, roundhouse clawed kick. He had a considerable amount of power to it, more than their last encounter. It would send him backwards a good way from Inori.
"Arresting you for unprovoked attacks on innocent bystander sounds like a good beginning. Teaching you a lesson is also bein put on the list. So, you are under arrest, idiot."
Nightshade landed softly on the ground with Inori in his arms bridal style. Even though his facial features were mostly covered by a mask, a great deal of worry could be read in his eyes as he checked Inori's wound. "I-Inori! D-darn that looks bad...are you alright?" He asked, turning his head to Rosario. His eyes flashed red, a clear reminder of the dark powers dwelling inside him.
"First you chicken out and then you try to settle the score by attacking someone else? My, I thought too highly of you. Even the scum locked in the brim has more honor than you."
Instictively, he hugged the girl closer to his chest, somewhat defensively. Why he did that was unclear, but he seemed very determined to protect her at all costs. He imperceptibly peeked around, coming up with a strategy. He had both hands blocked and he coudn't expose Inori to him.
He checked on the girl one last time. "It's gonna be fine, I'm here. You'll just have to trust the Catshade." He tried to make her smile and forget the pain, if only for a little. He materialized a fullenergy subchip and pushed it in her hands. She could use some heals. Black sphered began popping into existance and orbit around him like the moon to the earth.

"Innocent bystanders? Muahahahaha.. no no. That is my daughter. Conveniently she is also a danger to society, so I can do as I wish."
Rosario got up from the wall he collided with and began to float above the ground. Inori seemed to be unresponsive.
"Oh why I thank you for your kind words. I haven't been called scum in quite a while. But, not only am I going to attack 'innocent bystanders', but I am also going to put the odds out of your favor. Sucks, doesn't it? Labrys!!"
Rosario held his book out in front of him, and before him materialized a large containment capsule, with a glass window showing a girl with a metal headband and sky blue hair. She wore a school uniform and an axe was attached to her back. Her arms and legs were bound to the back of the capsule. Rosario inserted a Dark Chip into an open slot and the capsule broke apart as shadows enveloped Labrys. When they dissipated, her appearance changed. Her hair remained the same color, but her white uniform adopted a deep purple color with a mixture of black and her headband became a teal color. Her metal arms and legs also adorned a darker shade. Her axe changed from silver to the same dark purple, but with an accent of teal instead of black.
The girl reached around her back and released her axe, grabbing it with her right hand and getting into a battle position with both hands on the axe.
"Meet, Shadow Labrys. A Navi I captured on one of my treks, she's from a private corporation's server. A wonderful servant, honestly. She views me as Labrys views her 'God'. So, if you aren't going to hand over my daughter AND release any info you have on the ONB..."
Now Shadow Labrys spoke.
"I'll delete both of you."
The ground rumbled before a large minotaur arose from it. Most of the minotaur's body hid under the ground, but above was its large head, much larger than Labrys. Its head was masked by a giant skull, and its horns were metal vents of flames.
Shadow Labrys dashed forward and jumped into the air, spinning herself and her axe vertically. The minotaur reached an arm out and grabbed Shadow Labrys, before throwing her down towards Nightshade's position. Shadow Labrys, as Asterius, the minotaur, sped her up towards Nightshade, instead held her axe straight down towards him, intending the axe to crash into his body.
