With the final individuals free from the building, the nameless Navi barrels out of the building covered in soot and holding his now charred and burned hands palm-up and rigid. With everyone else now occupied with FreezeMan, he turns away with an uncharacteristic quietness and beams away without a word to anyone.
With everyone clear, the building finally collapses from within, a rather spectacular implosion; an implosion that's no longer a threat to anyone. From the rubble, the visage of Gravity Beetle rises, his wings parted and his thrusters ignited as he rises and takes off, his job still far from complete.
The blue Navi... oddly leaves the building just moments before the collapse, despite the timing of the rescue. He walks out calmly, waves to the group and approaches Embera despite her obvious focus.
Navi: Hey, Embera; just wanted to say thanks for the save. You did good!
The Navi then waves and walks away without another word.

Xylia and Celero exit the building safely, following closely behind the others. Reunited with the other viruses of her posse, the small group makes their way over towards Freezeman. They wait quietly, each one listening to the others various conversations, and Xylia herself listens intently while looking around...

"oooo shinyyyyy."
With the gathering of lost treasure, Rosary made her way back out. It was unfortunate for her to not find another Heel Navi to deck out, but she would take what she could get. Outside, she saw everyone once more, including a Navi made entirely of ice!! That means he'd be pretty difficult to break right?
"Hello Mr. Ice Person! Can I fight you?"

FreezeMan stands looking over the group and releases a deep breath. The Navis in the building were saved, the group that risked their lives all made it back, and a good portion of data was saved as well. This was more than the Ice Navi could have hoped or prayed for, yet here it is; basically the best-case scenario for this worst-case scenario.
To begin with, FreezeMan turns to Embera, thanking her for the data from the vault.
FreezeMan: This is actually a portion of the money that we were using for future improvements to Element City. It's needed now more than ever, so I cannot thank you enough.
Next, he turns to Boomerang Kuwanger offering a similar thanks for his work.
FreezeMan: This data is remarkably valuable, and your willingness to aid us by retrieving it is remarkably appreciated. Thank you.
This is followed by StrifeMan, who he also thanks in kind.
FreezeMan: Thank you for your kindness. This will aid me in repairing Element City once our current problems at last pass over.
FreezeMan takes a step back and opens one of the Mystery Datas that Boomerang Kuwanger turned in. Inside is a small trinket, which FreezeMan duplicates and hands out to all in attendance.
FreezeMan: You have my deepest gratitude. Please accept this small token as my thanks. And please forgive me for departing suddenly, as I must now help attend to the injured.
FreezeMan then beams away, leaving the group with their rewards.-All 12 13 Navis rescued -Vault Data recovered and returned -R&D Data recovered and returned -Server Room Data recovered and returned -Freezeman's Office Data recovered and returnedFinal Grade: A
Final Rewards:Elemental YashichiThe high thanks of Element City. +2 Element Levels Once per battle, the user is allowed to instantly recover 150% of max HP at any point in the battle, ignoring max HP limitations.

#s://i~imgur~com/pgqJvOl~jpg "Happy to help," Kuwanger said seeing Gravity Beetle heading off- probably to keep pulling navis out of rubble and the like. Guess this is how he was going to spend his day, not that he had anything else to do with the net being in shambles right now. He did accept the trinket gratefully. "At any rate, seems like I have more work ahead of me. Catch you guys later," Kuwanger said to the others before simply doing another spacetime jump.

*Embera's eyes remained fixated on Fiera, piercing through her with a resolved gaze. Gritting her teeth, she did her best to keep her feelings hidden just below her face, as she began walking directly to her. Unfortunately, the one place her emotions did leak from, was her energy. As she got closer, her body began to radiate a faint orange and yellow glow, creating heat distortions around her. With every step, Fiera and company would feel the heat grow and grow, to nearly a stifling intensity, before Embera was finally within speaking distance. Through those same gritted teeth, her voice spat out, what seemed irritable, although, to anyone aware, it was purely as calm as she could be, given the current predicament.*
Embera: .....I never thought that today would be that day....

Before the group could revel in their victory or mingle with others there, another 'obstacle' of sorts approached them. Naturally, they raised both their guard and their awareness of the solar woman as she seemed greatly peeved by something.
At her mentioning of 'that day', Fiera and Riclice exchanged a questioning glance, while Doomistra kept her gaze fixed on the one before them.
"It probably doesn't involve me, but what 'day' are you referring to...?" Doomistra asked, still unsure of what to make of this female navi. "And...!"
Doomistra trailed off, looking at Fiera and then sending a glance in Embera's direction, despite the overwhelming energy she was radiating.
"...is there a reason you two have the same face as well?"
After Doomistra poised such a question, Riclice turned to look back at Fiera, before shielding his eyes a bit with his right hand as he attempted to take a glimpse at the angry (?) navi's face right afterwards.
"Are you sure they have the same face? This weird distortion that person's causing could be playing tricks on you, Sis."
"But assuming it's not..." Fiera said, finally speaking up herself as she took a few steps forward and stood in front of her digital siblings. "Who are you?"
All three of them focused their attention on the shining stranger, awaiting whatever answer came next.

*Embera's face remained stoic, if a little hardened, as her eyes moved towards Doomistra. The lines of her face would tense up as she addressed the small shadow navi first.*
Embera: The day I would meet the one responsible for the breath I take today. The navi that gave me an identity that was not my own, and created an existence that was forced to thrash and fight just to avoid being snuffed out.
*It was clear at this point that Embera was essentially speaking to Fiera through Doomistra, as the contempt in her voice slowly rose.*
Embera: That woman's data signature amalgamated in fire data where it didn't belong, and then I came to be. A mewling program with no awareness, barely a hint of sentience, expanding, learning, morphing into a navi, struggling her damnedest to stay alive, not knowing why. Why was existence so extreme? Why was I alive? Why? I could never find that why. Only the how. And after nearly half a decade, of thrashing, and fighting, and struggling, I find my maker, and I only find out what I already knew. That she was blissfully unaware of my existence even when my face was plastered on wanted posters throughout Electopia and Creamland. I'm here now to confront this pillar of negligence that laid the foundation of every struggle I have had to endure, and I will not be denied this day....
*Her voice was quiet, and cold despite the bubbling fury emanating from her being. With intense focus, her eyes locked on Fiera once more, as if daring her to step up.*

"Isee..." all three spoke in unison. Whether she wanted it or not, they radiated feelings of sympathy for her. Sympathy for her having such a hard life...
"Hold on a sec...!" Riclice interjected, rubbing his temple for a moment. "Isn't that just like what some humans go through? An 'existential crisis'?"
Surely they had all heard stories and reports of children hating their parents like this, but things were quite different in this case...weren't they?
"Despite what you say, I didn't have an active part in your birth into this world, so that phenomenon happened outside of either of our wills. and I can't say I recall seeing you on wanted posters either, truthfully."
She thought about Embera's words and shook her head. It truly felt like the one before her was having a crisis...but what could she do within her power to relieve that?
Fiera thought back to when she first awakened to this world and pieced together a few more thoughts that she hoped the Solar Wonder (OOC: Unofficial title, obv.) would grasp and understand.
"When you think about it, who has ever requested to be born? How we're born into this world doesn't mold any of us..."
Fiera tapped her own chest with a fist, lightly, as flames emanated from off her body, burning brightly as she stood her ground.
"It's what we do with our existence! That molds us into what we can truly become!" she proclaimed boldly, her own gaze meeting Embera's headon.
...even though the other two definitely agreed with her words, they had serious doubts about whether this angry-looking navi before them was willing to be reasoned with.
