Location: The bottom floor of an empty warehouse. Broken boxes and steel pillars are abound, providing both cover and potential weapons.
===
Kajira flickered into existence within the interior of the warehouse, her eyes glancing around the scattered remains of what had once been somewhere that people worked. Yet now it was nothing more than a skeleton, a darkened husk of a once-living, breathing portion of the Internet. Her yellow eyes flickered over the insides again as she took several small steps forward, her right hand resting on the hilt to her weapon.
"Blake, you're certain that there was someone here? I don't wish to cross into territory that is neither ours nor the ONB's. Such a thing would be a wasteful use of our resources, and I see no reason to pursue such a course."
There was a sigh from the other end. "Look, Kaj, I know something was here. I guess I don't have any proof that it's here anymore though. But whatever it was, it was specifically asking for you. Maybe you've impressed someone at the ONB finally, or some other place?"
She grunted. "Hardly. Well whatever. I'll survey the area again and report back to you in a moment," she finished, disconnecting the transmission sent from her to Blake. If there was something here, and if it was dangerous, then she would prefer not to have him worry about her.
"If there's something here just show yourself already; I don't have all day," she announced, her body seeming to flicker from place to place as she moved, her unnatural speed a prototype idea by Blake, and it worked quite wonderfully.

Up to Kularian for the judge, but, I'm fine for the judge to be you Shast...
The mold and rust that decorated the old and run-down warehouse seemed to expand every second Namkcab looked at it. The ice navi sat in the recesses of the basement, meditating. His focus was broken when two strange voices reached him. He rose up.
"Taht si ohw?" {Who is that?} Namkcab silently whispered to himself. He quietly crept towards the unknown navi. Namkcab saw that the navi was the one known as Kajira. He relaxed slightly, knowing this navi was one of justice; however, Namkcab also knew Kajira was strong, and he didn't know how she would react when she saw him. Namkcab leaned against a mud-ridden pole, then he greeted Kajira loudly, he was still a few yards away from her.

Kajira glanced to the side as she heard someone hail her, and she nodded at the backwards-speaking Navi. "Namkcab. Or do you prefer Backman?" she inquired as she strode towards him, her hand on the hilt of her sword. As she drew close, however, she narrowed her eyes, and to the untrained eye, it would appear as if she was looking darkly at the Navi whom she had just greeted. Yet there was something moving behind Namkcab, and it didn't take the woman long to see that it was a virus. It leapt from the shadows, seeking to end, or at the very least injure, the other Navi, but Kajira was suddenly there, behind him, her weapon driven through the virus.
"I believe that this is some sort of attack. I don't believe that these are friends of yours?" she whispered harshly. Before she tore her weapon, a sword with a blade seemingly made of pure cackling lightning, from the virus, she glanced behind her, and there were several visible forms in the shadows, looking to make themselves known. Flickering to the side, she brought her weapon around, and the virus, a Swordy, lifted its own weapon in response, parrying her slash.
The woman, not prepared for the counter, scowled, flickering back towards Namkcab, her eyes narrowed as lightning gathered in her free hand. Extending her arm, she let the electricity arc around her arm and hand before firing outward in a steam of electrons, the attack causing the Swordy to stumble backwards. "It seems that they're a notch above your standard virii, too," she grumbled, feeling her sine wave-like energy reaching a low. In a moment it would rise quite a bit higher than it was, but she'd need a break before then.
"Watch yourself, Namkcab," she spoke, giving him a smirk.

Namkcab gestured with his arms that he preferred the former of the two ways to say his name, for he knew that just saying "Namkcab" wouldn't help: How could Kajira know if he was talking backwards and meant Backman, or forwards. But, it seemed he was able to get the message out. Namkcab is what he preferred.
The navi was so intent on letting Kajira learn his name that he didn't even notice how her eyes turned cold until she leapt behind him and slashed at a Swordy. "Aohw. {Whoa.}" Namkcab leapt to the side, his foot doubling in size so that he could delete the virii with a swift kick to the middle. However, before he lashed out, Namkcab noticed other Swordys, a horde of them, residing in the pitch-black shadows of the run-down warehouse. "toukool, Arijak!"{Kajira, lookout!} Namkcab called to his partner, raising her awareness of the threat of virii.
When Namkcab saw Kajira's electricity destroy the original Swordy, Namkcab tore through the digital boxes in front of him so he could get to more Swordys. At once he found himself face to face with one, his foot enlargening once more. Namkcab swung his foot out, disarming his opponent of his sword. The ice navi dealt another blow, this time the attack aimed at the Swordy's helmet. A resounding bang ensued as the metalic helmet crashed to the floor as Namkcab stood, scattered data in front of him. Grim faced, Namkcab pressed on.

Post 2:
"This must've been some sort of trap," Kajira muttered under her breath as she glanced up from the data wreckage of the one virus she'd just deleted to hear Namkcab's cry, and she couldn't help but grunt in both annoyance and slight fear as her eyes fell upon the mass of what appeared to be Swordies, with a few others mixed in here and there for good measure. But a Swordy was a fairly cheap shock troop of a virus, as they could put out some decent damage while still being able to take a hit. They weren't as powerful as some of the others, to be sure, but it was hard to deny their battle effectiveness.
The lithe navi watched as Namkcab deleted one of the Swordies, which left only about two dozen left, by her approximate count. The woman gave a small frown as she watched them, knowing that they were likely going to be something of a pain to take out. What with so many of them, she'd have to definitely keep her wits about her. Holding her blade, which seemed to intensify as her power wave hit its crest, the woman let out a battle cry as she flickered forward, the blade on her weapon extending somewhat, a bright cackle of energy releasing from it as it crashed against the opponent's weapon.
Not to be outdone, Kajira channeled more energy into the weapon, as it pulled its energy directly from her, and the electricity surrounding the weapon moved from its traditional yellow to an almost blue color as it bordered on Plasma levels before it tore through the Swordy's weapon, the electricity shredding it to pieces, before she pointed a palm at the target, releasing a slicing burst of wind outward from her palm, blowing the pieces of data away from her.
Her eyes flickered to the side, and she parried the attack of another Swordy, before simply vanishing, the blade of the Swordy flying up into the air as Kajira suddenly appeared behind the target, her blade inches from being closed in the sheath. With a defiant smirk, she clicked the weapon back into its sheath before the Swordy let out a cry, its data flying apart, before she turned to the oncoming wave, doing her best to not feel the exertions of all that had gone down.

Namkcab watched Kajira beat the mess out of several Swordies via electricity and wind power. "Hguot, wow. {Wow, tough}" He quietly commented. The onslaught of virii snapped him back to reality. The cool dankness of the warehouse seemed to keep him level headed, and he targeted a tier 2 Swordy that was separated from the rest, for reasons unknown.
Namkcab approached the Swordy, his right arm now changed into a warhammer. He dealt one swift, powerful, and accurate cleave right on the Swordy's helmet. But behold! The Swordy was no fool; he whipped up his weapon and countered Namkcab's attack. Because of this counter, Namkcab leaped back and saw his left arm was chipped in several places. Feeling dumb, Namkcab took extra precautions: He became less reckless and he formed a circular shield at the end of his left arm. While still small in diameter, this shield is very sturdy and very reliable.
Namkcab reapproached the Swordy, about 10 yards away. When he came near, the virus became very agitated and started slashing his sword out at the ice navi. The navi kept his shield up, ready. He slipped his shield arm down and once again cleaved downwards on his skull. Like last time, the Swordy swung upward, and while he blocked the premier blow, he missed the second one. With the Swordy distracted, Namkcab shoved his shield forward, right into the opponent's chest. The virus bowled over, and one more time, Namkcab heaved downward, ending the match.
Because of the distracting match, Namkcab just now noticed about 12 Swordies gang up on Kajira. "Toohs!{Shoot!}" Namkcab silently ran half the perimeter of the basement, when he came into contact with a rickety ladder. He nervously climbed it, not sure if it could support his weight. He made it to the first floor, which was just as destroyed as the first- broken columns, boxes at nearly every square inch, and a large gaping hole in the center of the floor. The ice navi strode to the edge, and he jumped. As he was falling, Namkcab held his warhammer in front of him, waiting to land. halfway into his freefall, Namkcab yelled aloud to Kajira, "Pmuj!! {Jump!!}"

Kajira let out a panting breath, her body starting to suffer from the fact that she was going all out against these virii. But she couldn’t just stop now, even if all her body wanted to do at the moment was rest. Turning to the side, she saw another of the creatures approach, the virus darting forward directly towards her, readying its weapon to strike her down. The virus slashed with its blade, and the woman barely managed to bring up her weapon to block the strike, before it struck again, a small cut appearing on her shoulder as she tried to avoid it.
Turning, she slashed upwards at the Swordy, slicing one of the arms clean off before she sensed another approaching from behind and managed to bring up her sword just in time as she spun, turning the attack aside. Glancing around, she saw Namkcab managing to take down another one of the Swordies, but though it was a great boon, that didn’t seem to shrink their number at all as she saw a large number of them beginning to surround her, each one looking for the kill.
She let out a curse, focusing solely on defense as she began to passively charge up a bit of Wind energy. However, before she had much of a chance to release it, she heard the voice of her ally from above, telling her to jump. The woman wasted no time as she leapt upward, kicking off of one of the Swordy’s heads as the other came down with the war hammer, the attack slamming into the ground and knocking nearly all of the Swordies off of their feet.
The woman, having gathered enough of the wind-elemental energy, landed back-to-back with Namkcab, and released the Whirlwind attack, sending the Swordies that had been taken off their feet flying away from them. She gave a small smirk. ”Thanks,” she murmured, as she stood tall again, letting out a breath of air as she tried to steady herself. There were more out in the darkness, and Kajira let out a small curse as she saw them approach. It wasn’t like she needed a break, or anything. ”Let’s end this and find their source,” she spoke. If they could find where they were coming from…they might be able to stop it before they were overrun.

Namkcab felt the wing whistle between his jags in his body during his short fall, which would then result in the hopeful deletion of several of the sword-bearing nuisances. Namkcab let loose a small, solid "Hmph!" a few feet before he landed. Soon after, a visible shockwave wiped out the front line of Swordies, along with splintering the wooden floor around the immediate area due to the forceful impact.
Namkcab remained still in his crouched position, his warhammer arm still in the wood. What seemed like minutes passed by, and the ice navi's faced stayed grim; he eventually arose after listening to the fighting around him. One reckless Swordy charged him as he started to arise, causing Namkcab to swing out and shatter the digital armor. Namkcab then straightened up, standing back-to-back with Kajira. The large navi was utterly impressed: the slender navi easily held her own, no, not only that, her power was incredible, wiping out two or three Swordies with one blow of her sword or blast of wind energy.
While lashing out with his warhammer and blocking with his small shield, Namkcab heard Kajira's remark of finding the source of the navi's. In response, Namkcab soundly said, "Sroolf reppu eht kcehc s'tel, llew. {Well, let's check the upper floors.}" Namkcab kept parrying and slamming Swordies, waiting for a reply. Still hearing nothing, Namkcab reduced himself to shards when a rather strong looking Swordy side slashed the navi, narrowly missing. Namkcab then restructured behind the Swordy and swung out at the virus' side.
Namkcab then had to multi-task: He fought on, aiding his partner when she had Swordies gang up on her, but he also scanned the area for that same ladder he previously used. Target sighted. Namkcab charged towards the rickety object, pounding through the splintered floor and nearly slipping on some slimey grime every now and then. Right before the navi reached the ladder a Swordy sided in and blocked his path. Not wanting to lose any of his momentum by swinging, Namkcab charged even more and tackled the annoying foe. The impact causing instant deletion to the Swordy.
"No emoc! {Come on!}" Namkcab called out to Kajira, hurrying her to follow the sound of his voice and venture to where he was. He skillfully climbed the ladder, but two-thirds of the way up the ladder cracked in several places, and when he reached the top it broke completely. "Won ereh pu teg annog Arijak s'woh, gnad? {Dang, how's Kajira gonna get up here now?}" Namkcab angrily uttered to himself. He then suddenly realized what he could do. It was a pretty....original idea, but it just might work. He plumped down on the floor, sitting with his legs dangling below. He then enlargened his right foot, just as if he was preparing to use his Kickboxing attack. Once his foot was the proper size, Namkcab positioned himself so he was now hanging on to the floor like a ledge, his foot close to the ground. Hopefully Kajira would catch on to the idea- jump up on his foot, and Namkcab would swing his foot up to the next floor.

Kajira fought like a demon, her strength seeming to become renewed as the battle wore on, which was strange. But her power wasn’t ever regulated, and as she fought harder, the stronger she became. She could feel her ally against her back, the ice navi fighting with his warhammer like some sort of medieval knight, and she was moving like the oriental version: a samurai. The two were quite a pair, and it wasn’t long before a rhythm was worked out between the two, keeping the others at bay.
However, then Namkcab suggested checking the upper floors. The woman was about to agree when a Swordy managed to get in a lucky strike, the weapon slicing through her side. She let out a hiss of pain before she retaliated, the weapon cleaving cleanly through the virus, its data scattering backwards before she turned to another, impaling it upon the sword. As she turned, she felt Namkcab’s back no longer to her, and with a glance, she saw him breaking away, heading towards the ladder that he’d climbed a moment ago.
Gathering wind in her hand, the woman released a blast of it at the floor, scattering the virii around her and sending her up into the air, where she used her agility to hang onto a support beam. The Swordies below let out angered cries, but she took the moment she had to breathe, letting the moment fill her with adrenaline before she flipped upside down, and placed her feet on the brace, crouching as she still held on with her hands.
In a single motion, she released her grip and pushed off with her legs, shooting downwards towards the swarm of swordies like a rocket. As she drew close, she turned, her foot slamming into the skull of one of the swordies before using it as a springboard, slamming into the virus before leaping off of it, spinning through the air. However, as she moved, she saw Namkcab reach the floor and the ladder collapse beneath him, hitting a Swordy in the head as it crashed to the ground.
She cursed aloud, her body reaching the ground a moment later as the virii were smart enough not to gather beneath her again, the creatures surrounding her. ”You bastards!” she roared as the wind energy began to flare up around her, and she released another tornado, the huge burst of wind pushing back the Swordies long enough for her to glance upward and see Namckab lowering his foot down to her to use to get up onto the platform.
Darting forward, she leapt into the air before kicking off of the face of one of the Swordies, landing nimbly on the man’s foot for a moment before kicking off again, jumping up and over Namkcab, landing on the floor above while the Swordies below looked to be quite upset. ”Thank you, friend,” she spoke simply, before she leaned down to help him up.
”So you’re the ones ruining my operation…” a deep, rumbling voice spoke from behind them. As Kajira finished helping up the other, she could see what looked like a navi dressed in black, holding a huge, two-handed sword before him.
Kajira glanced at Namckab before nodding, and shooting forward, hoping to throw him off guard enough for Namckab to get in a good hit or two.

Namkcab laughed quietly to himself when he heard Kajira rage on in her attempt to get to the ice-navi. He felt slight pressure when Kajira landed deftly on his foot. Namkcab started to lift it when he felt the unexpected: Kajira leaped up on the ledge instead of waiting. Namkcab gratefully accepted Kajira's offer to help him up "Sknaht. {Thanks.}" It was at the time that Namkcab started to get up when he heard an evil voice emanate from right in front of him.
He watched Kajira rush towards the iron-clad tyrant as he rose up. Now, Namkcab was impeccably fast for one of his size. He leaned forward, his jagged head aimed directly at the middle of the evil navi's chest plate. Though the evil one was almost one-foot taller than he, Namkcab knew size wasn't always an indicator of strength. Namkcab neared the large navi and jumped forward, making impact and bowling the large navi over. It was then Namkcab asked, "Eman ruoy si tahw, tiaw? {Wait, what is your name?}"
Without waiting for a reply, Namkcab ran behind the warrior, forming his handy-dandy war-hammer. While he was still hunched over, Namkcab slammed down hard on the dark one's back. Namkcab then strode backwards, letting one of two situations occur: He would give Kajira a shot at the mysterious stranger, or he would let the presumably deadly navi show the duo his "power."
Namkcab looked on towards Kajira, allowing her to have another crack at the destuctive navi. Namkcab waited and watched Kajira execute move after move on the slow navigator. Namkcab then moved in to back Kajira up, but tripped on an odd-shaped wooden box. Thus, Namkcab was caught off guard when the armor man cleaved his sword into Namkcab, sending him into the floor, where he landed on his back, then bouncing farther back.
Namkcab groggily rose, dusting himself off. He transformed his arms into his shield and war-hammer. He charged the armored navi, preparing for good, old-fashion gladiator war-fare. He parried and slammed, taking one or two chips, but not many. This battle is getting easy.

Post 5:
"Not bad..." the warrior growled, before he took a step forward, meeting Namkcab's rush head on, using the massive weight of its weapon to push the smaller navi back a bit. However, before he had a chance to really get in any good damage, Kajira was there, flickering forward and bringing her lightning-elemental weapon to bear against him. The warrior grunted, taking a step backwards under the onslaught, but reached down with a single gauntleted hand and grabbed the woman by the hair and cast her aside as if she were no more than a rag doll.
Kajira, not one to be outdone, twisted her body in midair, turning to face this gigas. Extending her hands, she let lightning cackle around her biceps and forearms before releasing a burst of the radiant energy. The knight took a step backward, right into Namkcab's warhammer of an arm, the setup being executed quite perfectly as the ice navi took a large piece out of the one made of darkness. The woman made sure to get her feet underneath of her as she hit the ground, the force of the knight's throw actually making her have to flip backward once in order to keep her balance.
"I see I have underestimated you..." the knight spoke, and thrust his sword into the ground, using it to get back to his feet. The navi turned to look at his adversaries, a dark power starting to roll off of him, like a thick fog. From within the fog, Kajira could hear what sounded like movement of many creatures, and just as suddenly as the fog appeared, it vanished, leaving the knight standing back away from them, a small army of swordies between them.
"How cowardly," Kajira remarked, before darting inward, eviscerating three of them with her initial strike. "Namkcab! These ones are but pale imitations of the ones below!" she called out as she seemingly vanished, avoiding the strike of another one of the swordies, treating it to a blast of lightning directly into its face. She glanced over at her ally, seeing him tear through the army just as easily as she was. The knight, however, wasn't moving, but seemed more intent to simply watch them.
The woman, irritated, released a blast of her electric energy at the knight, who merely seemed to sidestep it. She let out a growl of irritation but couldn't capitalize on it as another Swordy attacked her, drawing her attention away yet again. She silenced it quickly, her blade flashing like the lightning that it was made of.

((OOC: Somethin tells me the battle won't end with this post, lol. Whoa, this battle's been going on for over 1 month!! :D ))
~~5~~
Namkcab fought through the horde of annoying Swordies. He raged onwards, beating down helmet after helmet. A few tactical Swordies double teamed the navi, but they soon received their comeuppance, Namkcab slammed down with all his might, making a resounding shockwave, deleting sevral Swordies on contact.
Namkcab pounded through to the knight in not-so-shining armor, ready to fight one-on-one, but once Namkcab was prepared, the evil one teleported to the other side of the room, and then generated more Swordies. "Gnad {Dang.}" Namkcab muttered. The ice navi swore he would put an end to this. It was getting ridiculous.
The large navigator changed his shield and warhammer back into his regular arms, preparing to stop this onslaught. He looked on towards his slender partner Kajira. "Revoc emos dnif, nwod teg. {Get down, find some cover.}" Namkcab looked towards the evil boss, anger rising up, as well as pride.
Namkcab charged towards the foe, rushing into idiot Swordies who thought they would get in his way to stop him. Namkcab leaped forwards towards the foe. Namkcab then brought his appendages together, and while he was still in the air, Namkcab whispered one sentence, "Siht dne ot emit {Time to end this}"
With that Namkcab popped his arms and legs outwards, sending forth billions of ice shards, deleting the army on contact and sent the knight crashing into the wall. The crash caused him to drop his sword, which Namkcab took possesion of. What he didn't know was that the evil one was still fighting fit.
