[bgcolor=3d3d3d]Iria scanned the Joe's as they left, each one as dedicated to the cause as the last. After the door closed behind them Iria's ears perked up at the first word of her commander's short speech.
While Suki spoke Iria stood erect and arms crossed resting on her chest. Her eyes never leaving the elegant navi before her, despite Sonatias entrance. Once Suki had finished and addressed them about questions, Iria was the first to voice her thoughts.
Ma'am, Terra worked in this very building. He was destroyed with most of the other Stardroids... She lightly gestured to Mercury with her thumb a couple times before returning it to the perch at her arms. ...Except for him, when this 'Samhain' character took over Creamland.
Iria's chest swelled and shrank as she sighed lightly, and even heavier on the inside at the next course of action from herself, her commander, and just in general.
If you insist on going to Creamland I won't question it; but make Agile accompany you. He sounds like he wants to exercise. I need to find this 'plan' of Terra's before someone 'feeds the beast' a little too much.
Without verbal goodbye or waiting to be excused, Iria stood at attention and saluted Suki, and Suki alone. Taking no notice of the others in the room as she departed into an elevator at the end of the room. Iria turned and eyed the others gesturing Sonatia to come to her while tapping her right heel gently, making a light *clack*.

Agile's smirk didn't fade as his eyes flickered over those here. The Joes had left already, and while Iria had suggested he go along with them, he wasn't about to go baby-sitting. They could handle themselves, and it wasn't as if there was much to be done in that area, anyway. "I never meant to bait you, Lady Iria; it was merely an incorrect observation on my part. Please do have it in your heart to forgive me," he spoke, watching her reactions.
Still, before he'd had a chance to get his comment responded to, Suki began to speak, earning his attention. Though he was just a grunt, really, he gave off an air of importance, and thus it was necessary to find those who had some level of authority, like Suki, and give them his full support. As she mentioned Terra, the man's eyes widened a little bit. He felt he knew that name, but couldn't exactly put a finger on where it was the name had come to pass.
As she finished, Agile opened his mouth to speak, but Iria was already there, offering her opinions. "Before Lady Iria so graciously volunteered me for the position, I had in mind to pledge my service to you already, Lady Suki. I have not been in the Creamland area since the dangers have happened...but my blade and I will do all that we can to protect you." His words carried an odd level of sincerity...but they were true, nonetheless.

Glassman watched as his allies each decided their own plan of action,reminding himself to do so as well.
Listening intently to Agile's words,he nodded,taking a step forward.
"Perhaps it's best if I head to Creamland as well,if you don't mind,Commander. Keeping you safe has top priority."
With those words spoken,Glassman was prepared to move out and head for Creamland's network. If they were fortunate,they'd be able to find Creamland's ONB Commander - Knightman. But in the back of his mind,Glassman had an odd feeling about returning to the area he had departed from not long ago.
...he hoped the weird vibe was nothing...

Through the clear barrier the beam of light shot through, finding its way to the gathering of navis inside New Life and setting down there in an open space. From the beam, a circle expanded outward, revealing four navis in a group instantly. Phenoix, Merrill, Ruin, and Shadow. Two navis on neutral or good standing with the ONB, and two on rather bad terms. But they all arrived at once, in a group. It would seem rather interesting likely to those about.
From the group, Phenoix's wings wrapped once again around his body to form his feathery cloak. He stepped in front of the rest of the group, looking about the room. There were more people here than he expected, which was lucky for him. He could explain to more people his presence. He first addressed Suki and Sonaita however, bowing politely.
Phenoix: "Suki. Sonaita. A pleasure to see you both again. Though it saddens me that it is once again under dire circumstances."
Phenoix then looked to the rest of the room, addressing them all at once. He noticed a few screens about that were focused on Creamland area, specifically on the area the creature was in.
Phenoix: "Pardon our intrusion. My name is Phenoix.EXE, and I have come to ask your assistance in the apparent threat. Though it seems you already know about it. Apparently this creature that has appeared in our world is one of such power on par with that of the devestating force that Destroyed all of Electopia's network five years ago. Eon. It is for this reason, that we are gathering those of all alignments to help protect this world we live in once more. So I ask you, will you stand up to protect your world?"

[bgcolor=3D3D3D]Oh you. I also don't really keep track of peoples stuff forever. So it's entirely possible that Diamond has done something bad too. :P --- Iria continued to tap her foot, until the line shown from the room caught her attention. She peaked her head outside of the elevator, catching the door to keep it from closing as she did so. Her eyes locked onto each navi, scanning them. Having The entire registry and criminal records at your 'fingertips' was a boon Iria could not thank her programmers enough for.
*Bink* *Bink* *Bink* *Bink* One darkloid on file extensive criminal record, Two not on file. Final one was clean and on file.
Iria's eyebrow raised at the thought of 'Merril' with these people. One of them a blight on net society, and two of them lawbreakers. Hmph.
She strayed out from the elevator and towards the lobbies desk. Once there she reached over it with one arm and pushed a button underneath, silently alerting the Joe sentries to the location of the disturbance. Afterward she turned to the entourage before her and her associates and addressed Merril directly, ignoring Phenoix altogether. Her arms resting at the usual spot a cross her chest.
Are you here to turn them in and claim a reward? Register the two of them and make my day by turning in the garbage pile back there... She nodded at Ruin before continuing.
...Or is this conversation is going to get a lot shorter?
Her eyes glimmered with a hint of malice while she spoke, and she cracked her knuckles as a form of punctuation.

*Deep within the confines of the storage facility, a large red light gleamed throughout the room. Immediately, sounds of locks unlocking could be heard, as an army of Joes left to approach the signal. These forces were pre-maturely activated, and therefore, knew nothing of situations, only the call to arms. Roughly five of each squad of Joes left, as more were being prepared for deployment. Following the signal to the Commander's room, all but eight joes remained outside. Among them was the S.W.A.T Joes, the City Patrol Joes, The Arctic Joes, and the Hammer Joes. Silently prepping their arms, the Joes stood at attention by Iria, their identified caller, and relayed to the Joes waiting to be on guard should a fight break out.*

Phenoix spoke regardless of being addressed or not. This was not the time for ideals to conflict, quite the opposite. Though at the garbage comment Ruin tensed and was poised to attack, Phenoix put his hand out to stop him. They were there on peaceful terms, there was no reason for an arrest, and regardless to say, Phenoix did not agree with the license system still, he would not register willingly.
Phenoix: "We come here on peaceful terms. If anything your forces should not be concentrated on us of all people. But on the creature you already well know about. What do you stand to gain here by imprisoning us, other than weakened forces in the important battle to come? This is not a matter of just right and wrong, light and dark. Can you not understand the situation we face?"
Phenoix turned to Suki, sure she would hear reason where Iria, who was blinded by the power to subjugate thinly disguised as justice, would not.
Phenoix: "Suki, I fought alongside you once. I healed your wounded just as much as I did others. We face the same situation once again. A dire one with the fate of our world on the line. I may not agree with what the ONB does now, but I still acknowledge its influence. Do you really think I would come here, with navis of darkness at my side no less, if I thought this were anything less than a netwide crisis?"
Mercury, having been quiet up till now, steps forward up to Iria. addressing her softly.
Mercury: "He has a point you know, you stand nothing to gain and all to lose should you arrest them. Not that I don't trust your resources to deal with this creature, but I know beings of their caliber are much more useful than a mass produced army of weak soldiers. Also... I'd be careful of that one..."
Mercury looked to Ruin, he knew of his deeds, his defeat of Mars did not go over well with the rest of them. Plus, he was the only one aside from the one known as Armored Destroyer to even phase one of them before the Samhien incident.
Mercury: "That one defeated one of my comrades, Mars. He was a force to be reckoned with, and anyone who can defeat him is to be just as feared. Should you choose to try and take him down, Know he will not go down without a fight, and you will likely end up with many casualties. I think it be best to listen to them."

As he progresses through the vaults and the servers and the silent warning light begins to flash overhead, M grimaces. It was long since time to hurry his way out, and so his pace picks up. The twisting passages and long corridors of data give way to an open floor and various gates, outside of which the veritable Joe army stands.
The wind navi glances cautiously from unit to unit as he hovers backward with a hand held behind him to detect the portal from which he had entered. For a brief moment he feels it, and the relief of escape washes over him... but then a vast *KER-CHUNK* resounds through the chamber, and his head snaps backward. The portal had been intended for hasty Joe use in the event of an emergency among the network of the HQ's fifth tier, but also to funnel any interlopers into their clutches. Had he taken a wrong turn? No, he thought. Every destination in that tier was temporarily altered to this room in the emergency. Some event triggered the alarm system, and cursed me while at it. Gathering his senses and regaining his dignity, he crosses his arms and floats forward, silently awaiting a response from the guards.

Merrill walked forword, and finally spoke to Iria.
"Iria. Under normal cercumstances, you would probebly be correct, and I would be working along side you to bring them down, esppecially that one."
He pointed to Ruin, then continued.
" I do not wish to fight right now against you. You know that My OP works for the ONB, and that I fight for the truth and just myself. But we don't have time do be dealing with the Dark and the Light right now. That conflict will be absolved another day. We have a greator terror to deal with. Light and Dark toether must work together as one big shade of gray. Honestly, if we don't we might not have a world to fight for, anymore."
He stood, between Ruin, Phen and Iria and Mercury. He left his body loose, but showed no signs of malice, or that he planned on moving.

Shadow was not pleased with their new locale, he could tolerate the two winged navis, but being inside the bloody ONB? He was about to voice his opinion of their coming here, but stopped when Iria spoke. His right eye quivered ever so slightly, the contempt in her voice, how she referred to them...he was losing his cool real quick.
" Well miss 'I am so righteous'. You can take your regestration forms and shove 'em." He spat making a rude gesture with his hand. He didn't care what the threat was, or what ever loot Ruin had promised...it was not worth dealing with offical navis like HER.
He turned to Ruin and half glared at him as he spoke. " I agreed to help you, but I refuse to work with these half wits. I will go and coninue my own agenda instead." It was sily pride and personal dislike of the others, but he really only cared about him self anyway, so he didn't care if it disrupted the "plan". Course he never thought through the fact he was, INSIDE ONB still...that might put a damper on his plans a wee bit...

Ruin glared at Shadow, he knew what he meant though. Ruin himself didn't really like dealing with the ONB himself, but that was why the winged navi was here, so he didn't have to. It would seem Shadow as far from realizing the usefulness of others about him, as well as how easy it was to dispose of them when they exhausted their usefulness. Regardless, he still had use to Ruin, and he wasn't about to let him go so easily. Reaching out, Ruin grabbed him by his armor and pulled him in close, their faces nearly touching with ruin's eyes clearly sparking with power. His speech was soft, so that others about could not hear, but there was a clear anger about his words, meant to keep his men in line.
Ruin: "I'd suggest you know your place welp. I don't like working with them any more than you, but aside from myself, the winged one is clearly the most powerful about us. I'm more willing to trust his opinion than some brat blindly looking for power. You want power? You gotta run with other people, Use them till they're no longer useful, then throw them away. So if you want the power you so desperately search for, you'll stay quiet. Besides, we're in the ONB headquarters, I'd like to see how someone of your caliber plans to get out of here so easily without being deleted on the spot."

[bgcolor=3D3D3D]Oh good, tension! but will our hero's pleas reduce the pressure?! Find out in about seven paragraphs! -----
Reliable as always, the Joe's were there on the spot, ready to assist should they be needed. This time Iria actually listened to Phenoix, rather then disregard him. She raised an eyebrow near the end his first extensive statement. She let him continue and finish his address to Suki, checking her to see if she actually did have past associations with this navi, or if he was just flat out lying. Her index finger began tapping slowly on her other arm as they remained crossed at her chest.
Hmph. Was all she could muster before yet more words were spoken, this time from Mercury, directed at her in a low and soft tone. She did not turn to look him in the eye until after he finished speaking. She retorted to him in a low, 'punch you in the gut' tone, just loud enough for Mercury and he alone to hear. The tapping increased slightly.
I don't care, and you shouldn't either. Protecting the net from any and all threat is our duty. A chance to bring down someone with this extensive of a record so easily, regardless of what it would cost us, must be taken.
She turned her head to Mercury as she finished speaking, giving him a stare so cold you'd think she was ice element. Directing her gaze at Merril, just in time for him to voice his piece on the matter.
She listened with what would appear to be a closed mind, yet in her mind an idea sprouted, one that would usurp Mercury's fear, and still accomplish her directive. She lightly grinned at the thought, but it faded almost as soon as it appeared. The tapping increased once more, noticeably so than when she had first started the impulsive action.
Alr- She was cut off by none other than Shadow. His abrupt and rude insult on her character and the law almost caused her to blindly assault him, yet she reeled herself in, though each word he spoke caused her to become visibly aggravated. The tapping more erratic and forceful than earlier.
Her plan altered on the fly. No, the offer to be made had just changed. They would take this, or all suffer. No questions, no compromising, no escaping. The tapping stopped.
Quiet! She commanded loudly, her tone miles away from soothing. She addressed Merril and Phen both, while Ruin and Shadow bickered with each other. She started in a polite way, at least compared to her normal manner of speaking before becoming completely serious.
I am not above compromising. You surrender Ruin and the black and yellow trashcan back there to us, and we'll work with you. Including overlooking your crimes, for now, 'Phenoix'. She glanced at him with demeaning eyes before continuing.
This is not open for debate, this is not something you can walk away from. That is the deal and you either take it, or you're all going to suffer.
Iria reached into her jackets left pocket and pushed the 'Lockdown' button on an unseen device.
------
Pretty sure I can do this given where we are, and the circumstances. BY MY POWERS OF MODSHIP! I HAVE THE POOOOOWER!
New Life: ONB Headquarters LOCKED! Non ONB affiliated parties may not enter or leave the area.

???: Iria, I am assuming these are extras?
A navi in dark, dark blue armor covering sections of his body accordingly and a helmet with a similar colored visor. His eyes under the visor were focused on Merill since he was directly across from him. His hands were adjusting the gauntlets upon each hand until they were properly added "into" his armor. An insignia on the front of his his helmet showed he wasn't an ONB agent, however, seeing as he just entered the area, he had sufficient permissions to do so.
Unless we have a situation here.

Ooc: meh yellows a good txt color cuz i heard black was a PitA to read. And oh shadow...you dont know whats good for ya...<.< __________ Shadow returned Ruin's glare as he pulled him face to face with the other navi. He didn't care how much stronger or smarter Ruin might be, he had it in his mind he would do what he wanted, how he wanted. Sure Ruin gave him a pep talk, and a gift even, but man was he pushing buttons.
Shadow replied, in a quiet tone, but louder then Ruin had used. "Place? I said I would follow along to this threat you spoke of. Instead, we are standing in the frickin' ONB and miss goodie two shoes wants to lock you up. My "place" is what I choose it to be..." He trailed off as he heard Iria shout, his attention on what she said briefly.
Scowling as he heard himself being referred to as a trashcan, AND now being included in her righteous rampage as part of some trade off, he balled his hands into fists, sweeping his arm up to dislodge Ruins grip on his armor. He then continued to vent his anger on the dark loid before him, speaking louder now as his temper soared, not caring who overheard.
" And now apparently I am to share your fate. Let me tell you, I would rather break my ideal and register with these self righteous nit-wits then go down with you. And as far as your advice to gain power, there is more then one way to attain a goal. THIS..." Shadows trailed off as his eyes flared with anger, and he reared his leg back, driving his knee into Ruin's groin. Normally such a move was beneath even his low standards...but he was driving his point across. ...is what I think of your methods. And I will not abide by them". He spat at Ruin, his mind said.

*As the group bickers among themselves, the lights of New Life flicker and quickly flash red, bringing an instant silence to everyone as the loud-speakers of New Life blair once again, resounding above the silent hum of the orbital engines*
New Life ONB Headquarters is now unlocked. Teleportation security has been removed, and all security-varification protocall has been shut down. All farther security protocal has been re-routed to the ONB Commander*[/b]
*True to the electronic words, the whole of New Life, save the most secure areas, come online and available for teleportation, leaving the entire city unsecured. It's then that the form of a Navi enters the meeting hall, stepping past all of the secutiry Navis unopposed before walking past Suki and the other Navis in the area, directly to Mercurey....*
Terra: I need to know exactly what has happened while I was gone.[/b]
