Creamland seemd just like he remembered. Well, aside from a recent terrorist attack. All in all though, his small home town seemed to be unaffected by it all.
Aeron walked through the busy streets, observing the various tourists scrabling in and away from the Moonstone. It was a cool attraction, that small part of town constructed through an undergroud cave of white rocks. Well, to be honest, even the few other houses built on hugetrees around said cave were a nice attraction as well. And right there, the dragon had used his NSD salary on. A small cottage, but cozy enough to spend time in and unwind from his work in Electopia. It had been some time since he last was here too...
The blue dragon was so distracted into his thoughts that lost track of the road for a few seconds. Before he knew it...he was lost.
What a great start to his vacation.

...well how interesting; a lost soul amid the old-fashioned structures and stone roads. Much could be said for what could potentially happen here, but only one thing actually happens; a voice echoes out, almost as if a whisper...
?: If you're lost, take the left turn....

Aeron's ears twitced and perked upwards. He turned around puzzled, wondering if the voice he heard was directed to him. He cautiosly leaned over to look at the hallway to his left, looking to possibly find the one who spoke. In that part of town he was in the streets were mostly empty.
After a few seconds of pondering he would shrug and mutter "Uuh...thanks...I guess?" Before taking a left into a new road.

As Aeron turns to the left, the path goes down a way and seems to wind around several times... before finally reaching a dead-end of homes, homes that are full of curious eyes all wondering why this strange Navi would wander into such a secluded area.
?: ....huh, guess that only works at Albuquerque.
With a swift leap, a Navi dressed in form-fitting armor of silver and green touches down near to Aeron. The plating on his lightweight frame appears to be something of kin to mirrored stain-glass and it shines like crystal as the Navi stands up and faces the now cornered Aeron with an arrogant smile. Raising his arm, he points an unknown device at the dragonic Navi and stares him down intensely.
No matter. Let's get this little issue... ironed out.

Aeron's gaze turned into a glare as a low growl escaped his muzzle. "Whatever you're trying to do, I am not the easiest of targets to rob."
The dragon assumed a defensive stance, staring at the strange object his opponent was waving around. Question raced in his mind. Did he know about him? Or maybe he know about his powers?
Either way, he wasn't going to stick around and find out. He prepared for an eventual fight and an escape plan. The escape plan especially.

The Navi smiles even wider as Aeron prepares for defense.... while the green-clad Navi had only so much information, the dragon had no information on the Navi that he now stands against; an edge that would not be so easily beaten....
The blink of an eye? No, not even quite that long. The odd Navi's wrists suddenly erupt with glowing green chains with bladed pendulums affixed to the ends. The chains blast forward with a rattling clang and nearly form a prison around Aeron, especially focusing above him to block off the most obvious escape route. Amid the sudden chaos of light and sound, the green Navi anchors all but one chain in place, recoiling the final weapon and allowing it to pull him above all of the others. Hidden by the green glowing prison, he passes through the luminescent bars like lightning and sticks a hard landing next to Aeon with the strange object now held to the dragon Navi's neck.
...and now...
The Navi flips his wrist, causing the object to unfold in front of Aeron's face, revealing its true nature.
It's a map.
...the problem was that left turn. See, according to this we should have taken a right. That would have led you to the sea-front shopping district. And so help me, if you visit Creamland without visiting the seafront shopping district then I will have to kill you. It's just that fun. I'm guessing that you've already visited Pride Castle, and if that's the case then skip what the "tour guides" tell you; there's an old cove where PirateMan used to keep his treasure on the south end, and you can still find bits and pieces down there. Now that's a fun time.
The Navi then suddenly smacks Aeron on the head with a strange black square as the green chains dissipate back into light... it's a wallet.
Oh, and you really are the easiest of targets to rob. Bad ID photo too, really need to get that re-worked.
The Navi then tosses the wallet to Aeron and casually steps back.
Seriously; you're ruining this vacation for the both of us.

Aeron's muzzle wrinkled as he was booped on his snout. The blue dragon didn't know if he had to be scared, angry or puzzled. He was so fubernuckled he blankly stared at the guy as it spoke about castles and pirates and shopping and other stuff. More over, who the hell was this guy? Their vacation? Whut?
"Uuh...uhm...ack!" The blue dragon scrambled to catch the wallet. He grabbed it with his tail before it touched the ground. "Do I...do we know eachother? Are you from Nebula System Dynamics too?"
Saying that he hadn't a got a clue was too little. He wasn't even sure he was awake. Or was he in an illusion? Naah. Still, with no clue on what or how to react the shy dragon would simply shuffle around on the spot.
"What the hell was the cange and all the other stuff for..." he softly mumbled.

The Navi sweeps behind Aeron and carelessly shoves him forward to arms length, giving a dismissive wave of his hand, which now has a solid white energy buzzsaw affixed to his wrist, as he does so.
Edge, Official Experiment Labs. As for what that stuff was for; purely for the fun of it... and to distract you while I took this.
Edge reaches around his back and pulls out... Aeron's blue tail, freshly cut off and being tossed around lightly.
Edge: I'd bet that some sicko in Electopia will consider this a delicacy... or possibly a fetish, but I really don't want to think too far into that.

The fact that having his tail cut off like that without pain surprised the tall dragon. However, it wasn't pleasant.
"You what?! Do you really go around cutting people's limbs off for a living?" Aeron whined, his immensly advanced regenerative powers regrowing his tail back almost immediately. He waved it around left to right, satisfied to have it back. "You can't just go around stealing people's bodyparts like that...also...I am afraid you't won't be able to sell-"
At the same time Aeron was speaking, the twitchy tail that had been severed seemed to melt itself into Edge's arm. It would soon devolve in a small stream of data that burrowed into Edge's body. The navi that held it experienced an astounding surge of power hit his whole being, if only for a few seconds before it would fade away back into nothing.
"-exactly for that reason..." Aeron completed his sentence, his guard now raised up to full alert before this guy stole something else off of him again.
"I don't know what you know or want from me, but I would like answers. Now, if you please."

The instant that the tail begins to decompile, Edge drops the thing on the ground and takes a step back, watching as it melts away.
Edge: Ew.
Edge then shifts an eye over to the dragon Navi before him, watching as his tail regenerates itself in short order.
Edge: Huh, I guess that being a lizard would have to come with some useful traits to make up for all of the flies that you probably eat everyday.
Edge then raises his arms and stretches nonchalantly, releasing a sizable yawn as he does so.
Edge: As for answers; I want pie, but we don't always get what we want gecko boy. Besides, if you'd been paying attention you'd know that I'd already answered every question that you've asked up until now. Meanwhile, I haven't asked a single question. And since fair is fair...
Edge dawns a sadistic smile and looks back to Aeron, swiftly raising a hand near his face and forming another white energy buzz-saw as he does so.
Edge: Is it just your tail that regenerates? How about your arms and legs... or your head?

Aeron barely moved as the guy tried to scare him. To be honest, he was a little scared on the inside, but his outher shell remained emotionless. He would grab the guys hand and slowly move it away from his face, so that he could see Edge's face. He hopped close and leaned in, his snout a mere inch from Edge's nose.
"I don't know. Would you like to find out? I am guessing you know a little bit about me, so you do know what I can do right? Is that what you're after? It's not something you can cut away from me, that I can assure you."

As Aeron slowly moves the blade away, Edge puts up no resistance, instead allowing the whirling buzzsaw to dissipate as he does so. Aeron's thinly veiled threat isn't lost, though as for its actual impact on the bladed Navi...
Edge: Hate to break it to you, Geico, but I don't know you from Adam. You're just some random Navi who got lost sightseeing from what I gathered, so I figured that I'd help you.
Edge's eyes narrow as he looks squarely into Aeron's own eyes, glaring back with a powerful intensity as he does so.
Edge: Oh, and one more thing while we're being so... personal....
Edge pauses for a moment, his eyes sparking as he looks on with a deep intensity... and slowly raises a strange container to the side of Aeron's face.
Edge: Care for a mint? You really need one.

Aeron's puzzled espression returned once more. "Well...ain't you a strange guy..." the blue dragon muttered. "You got a very strange way to help people. If my big brother were here he'd have already punched you in the face. Also, name's Aeron. I am not a lizard, I'm a dragon...by the way."
His eyes looked down at the little box. "...does my breath stink that badly?" He mumbled to himself as he slowly moved his nose up and down and up again, accepting the candy.

Edge shakes his head and puts a hand on Aeron's shoulder, closing his eyes as he does so.
Edge: Trust me, you're better off as a lizard.
Edge then re-opens the map from before and tosses it to Aeron with an eye roll.
Edge: This should get you back to wherever you want to be. Oh, and those mints may or may not be laced with data that will make you see pink elephants for the next hour. Either way should be fun.

"Well I am not sure about that. I doubt my system can even register it. I am naturally incompatible with any kind of digital drugs. Anyway, since you're here, why don't you tag along for a while? I see that you have free time to run around, and I'd better make sure you won't be cutting limbs off people. Not everyone is able to shrug it off."
This guy was piquing Aeron's curiosity. He seemed decently strong and fast. He also seemed a good person despite his mischievous playful attitude. He kinda reminded him of his big brother Thorn...only a little more extreme. He waved the map around.
"Also I think I'll need a little more than a map to find my house..." he sheepishly added, embarassed.
