Merill opened the email. He read it, and Smiled. As soon as Healer made it to his shoulder, he teleported outta there. He couldn't save wave this time. But next time... He would be in that fray. He also owed Nu a butt kicking.

Rikaru when he turned had just time to catch sight of Embera throwing Merrill at him. The next few moment...were crazy to say the least. Suddenly embera was behind him, kicking his head, sending him flying towards the airborne Merrill. Yet they wouldn't meet. AD managed to make sure of that, having caught up and joined the fray again, catching Merrill in front of him,and spinning and slamming a foot down on his head again, sending him to the ground once again.
THUMP!
The sound of his body crushing the ground echoed through the area. His head was pounding...they liked to hit him there for some reason. He slowly rose to his feet, willing the voice in his head to leave. It had gotten to the point of almost a roar to him. "...Focus...".
He raised his gaze up to where Embera still stood on the roof, then shifted to where AD was still airborne. "Why can't you all GO AWAY?!!?"[/u][/color] he roared, not realizing most of the others had indeed begun to flee. Still though, it was as much aimed at AD and Embera as the others. He had never expected it to be this much work.
He leaped up from his location on the ground, aimed at Embera. When he was close enough, before he touched down, he reached for her face, and gripping it, be kneeled and slammed her down into the rooftop. Immediately following this, he rose, spinning and hurling her through the sky, directly at the hovering navi.
He then leaped forward to follow, the head of his spear turning to pure energy, elongating to several feet in length. He reeled back as they moved through the air, and swung his weapon in a wide arc, just as Embera would connect with AD, the energy blade poised to cut into both of them.

[glow=white,2,500]*Embera finally recovered from the nightmarish effects of the Somnium Cross, only to have Rikaru physically dominating her. After being tossed, she caught her balance mid-flight, and smiled at the monster before her.*
Embera: Because I'm having so much fun!
*Embera glanced over to the nameless navi and smirked at him almost cocky.*
Embera: He doesn't know about that thing you do with energy, does he? Hehehe...
*As the arc of energy came crashing towards her, she leaned back and down, essentially flipping under it. It was about time she revealed her might...[/glow]
[glow=E1FF69,2,500]As she completed her revolution, her armor shattered outwards, falling below. She was in skintight clothes, that appeared to shimmer in the light. Her hair was short and straight, adorned with what appeared to be a crown, while her back sprouted the most beautiful wings that would rival even Megami's. Smiling an almost warm and friendly smile, Embera raised her hands slowly, as her wings became ignited, one in fire, and another a toxic substance. She had risen to take the throne as the Solar Queen.*
A.H.F Embera: Now to finish this quickly...
*With the words spoken, her wings unleashed a volley of fire and toxic attacks more powerful than anything she mustered previously, while in her hands she charged an orb of the mightiest force in the solar system. Getting point blank to Rikaru, Embera planted the orb into his stomach, before unleashing a mighty supernova, powerful enough that it annihilated any debris not anchored to the ground. Throughout this display of raw power, Embera's features remained calm, soft, and warm. It was as if she was committing an act of kindness to the distraught spirit attacking her.*
A.H.F Embera: This battle will be over soon enough...[/glow]

*Just as Embera dodges the blade, the destroyer's eyes widen.... instinctively he thrusts an energy-encased hand to the arc, litterally catching the blade in mid-air, holding the raw power of the viral navi at bay, yet neither absorbing it nor throwing it back. Still charging, the destroyer fights back against the attack, holding it as best he can while franticly trying to work out a way around this.... but none would come. His choices were to either take the blow or lose the energy that he had been storing. So, bracing himself as best he could, the destroyer releases the energy blade and lets it impact him, slicing a large gash in his armor and sending him flying into a nearby building from the raw kinetic force.
Fighting off the pain and attempting to cover the bleeding with his free hand, the destroyer quickly rises, gritting his teeth as he looks to Rikaru and Embera. While one hand stains red from the gash in his body, the other glows with a golden shine and sparks with dark red electricity; the sign that the charge was complete. Launching himself into the sky once again, the brutal Navi takes his place above the battlefield, hovering in place via his thrusters, and points his charged cannon to rikaru, holding his wrist with his otherwise free hand. Blood pours from his wound and falls to the ground as the barrel of his cannon elongates into something of kin to a rifel barrel and he takes aim at Rikaru, a golden glow briliantly shining from the barrel of his transformed weapon, ripe with the cataclysmic powers of both himself and the Solar Empress fused into one deathly powerful blow....*

Rikaru couldn't help but feel a wave of pleasure wash over him as his strike, though delayed, struck and sent the armored navi flying. He knew in the back of his mind that the feeling was because of the virus, but he couldn't help but enjoy it.
But he couldn't enjoy his short term success for long, as Embera was done fooling around. Her new appearance though, did little to deter Rikaru. Slowly, but surely, the urge to just destroy was winning in his mind.
As Embera started channeling energy, fire and toxins streaming at him, he once again held his hand out, a dome of energy enveloping him, ans repelling the energies to either side. But even then, they wore its power thin. As embera flew forward and thrust her orb of solar power into his gut, the aura was to weak to repel it.
The blast from the attack was, well brutal would put it mildly. Once again, Rikaru found himself on the receiving end of powers he had not encountered an equal to outside of global threats in decades. The blast sent him rocketing back, whistling through the air for several seconds. Luckily there were no buildings to crash into this time...yet.
Though as he soared through the air, his body seemed to change again. His hands slowly became more claw like, and his shoulders had several spikes jut out from them. Had anyone been close enough to see, his eyes could be seen to shift from the ominous red, to a dull yellow.
It was slowly winning the internal struggle.
Rikaru's body flipped its self over, summoning a torrent of wind to blow against him and stop his body, and keep him floating in place as his now yellow eyes scanned the skys for the two responsible for not only his release...but his pain currently.
The entire front of his body was burned and jagged from the explosion. His armored chest piece barely remaining, and digital blood oozing down his abdomen. But there was no time to give into the pain. It had one thought on its mind
Delete them.[/b]
A viral howl emitted from him, and with a swipe of his weapon, as if he thought he could reach the armored navi hovering, and prepared to fire. Though in a way, he was able to reach. Above the Armored Destroyer, a void glitched open in the network, and a large meteor came forth, descending upon him from almost directly over head.
Manipulating the winds, he then drove himself forward through the air, matching the the pace the explosion at sent him back at. Covering the gap between himself and Embera in a matter of seconds. He showed no signs of changing course, only flying head on towards her, only at the last second did he suddenly weave down, narrowly passing beneath her as he spun to be facing up at her from below. His hand was held out, and another orb of energy formed, and fired another beam of energy, much like he had at AD earlier, only this time inches away from the Solar Queen. [/color]

[glow=E1FF69,2,500]*Embera swung as Rikaru closed in, missing as he appeared below. Seeing what he was doing, Embera only had one thought in mind. Racing down to meet him head on, she took the shot point blank...However, she knew what she was doing. The energy beam blew her back faster than most navis could react. Her timing was almost off, as she was forced away, her wing wrapped behind Rikaru and brought him close, as Embera gripped as tightly as possible. Trying to regain control over her hurdling form, she began to make a twisting motion as rapidly as she could, with her target approaching faster than she realized. At the last second, it became clear what Embera had done. The meteor coming down towards the charging navi was Embera's target, and she aimed to make her and Rikaru crash right through it. Lifting him up slightly, to take the most of the impact, she drilled him through the meteor entirely, the debris burning up before it could even touch the ground. Catching herself and kicking Rikaru into aim of the purple one, Embera's wings began dissolving. [/glow][glow=white,1,000]She caught one breath before plummeting to the ground below. *
Embera: Finish it now...
*Unconscious, her systems aimed to repair themselves at a rapid pace, as her armor reformed, hoping to protect her now limp form.*

*This was it; he had one attack that could end it all. If it missed, this fight would drag on for who-knows how long. Taking aim and not wasting so much as a second, the destroyer lets fly his burning explosive bullet with a flash of light great enough to rival the sun and loud enough to crack the windows of buildings for multiple blocks in every direction. The explosive charge flys true, screaming and flashing like the sun the entire way, untill at last it reaches its target. With a flash, the bullet nears Rikaru's body and explodes with a blinding flash.... doing little more than a fire-cracker.
Suddenly a powerful pain overtakes Rikaru's neck.... behind him hovers the destroyer; his arm still glowing solid gold, and his free handholding the viral Navi in place.
The previous attack had been nothing more than a fake-out. While Rikaru was distracted, the destroyer dove to earth, closed the gap, then leaped behind the viral Navi while he was distracted. Now poised for attack, the heavily armored Navi thrusts his hand forward and places it on Rikaru's back. With a flash and an ear-splitting crack, the energy encased in his hand erupts outward into its original form, quickly forming a mico-star comprised of the energies of both the destroyer and Embera. The solar energy radiates outward and traps both Navis inside, vaporizing armor and obliterating data with apocalyptic power. It's then that a voice rises from the star, bursting out with just enough volume to be heard above the roar of the flames*
MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T SURVIVE THIS!!!!

[glow=white,1,500]*Embera was able to awaken barely as the scream aroused her. Limping over to the fireball, she stumbled as she regained her balance. The solar energies were too powerful..even for her. As she plunged her hands into the sphere engulfing the duo, Embera opened her palms and began to obliterate every piece of data in the explosion, causing it to fuel itself in a mighty chain reaction as solar flares and mighty arcs of flame jettisoned from the sphere. Soon it became unstable as a fire arc blew Embera back into a building, collapsing some of the structure atop of her. Through a small crack she could see the fruits of her labor. The unstable bomb was now exploding even more violently, cracking, booming and annihilating everything. She closed her eyes and tried her best to brace herself with what little energy remained as finally, the core of the explosion truly resounded, instigating an explosion nearly twice of what the armored destroyer had initiated.*
Embera: Nothing...should survive this...I might not even...
*Just then, Embera sank into complete sleep, sound almost, as she remained in the rubble, cocooned by her own destruction.*[/glow]

Rikaru had not time to change his mind from his attack, as Embera drug him along for the ride. The crash into the meteor was painful, but the viruses influence dulled most of the pain from that blow. A second later he would find himself kicked away, back down into perfect range for AD's shot. Instinctively he moved to defend him self from the blast, but when it came it did little more then tickle. The reason soon apparent, as AD suddenly had grabbed him from behind
There no no time to react, as even if there was, there was little he could have done. The blast tore into his back, much like how Embera's had, but this was unrelenting, being held in place by the armored navi, the energy tore into him more and more. Then when it seemed as if it couldn't get worse, it did. Embera adding to the blast magnified it to unimaginable levels.
The explosion stripped data away from his body like wrapping paper. And eventually when the blast died away, Rikaru's form was still standing, if only because he was held still by AD. His body no longer had any trace of the viral armor he and adopted, save for half of his head still covered by the pseudo helmet. His eye that was uncovered had a glazed over look to it, the other half of the helmet falling and dispersing to data fragments before hitting the ground. He made no effort to speak, or move. His eyes just slowly closed, and he slumped forward, his body leaking data from various places. His only consolation, was his mind was clear once again before he lost consciousness, slowly dieing.

*Still hovering after the chaos and destruction somehow, the destroyer seems completely frozen in place; his muscles so tense that they refuse to let go, his mind so battered from the pain and exhaustion that he can harldly even remember what had brought about his current state. Losing his grip, the destroyer finally lets Rikaru fall. A moment later, his thrusters finally shut down, and he finally falls to the ground. He lands unceremoniously on the ground, head-first on the pavement. No massive cracks form, no earthquake from his fall, simply the sound of steel hitting stone as he ends up face-first on the ground, entirely lifeless and bleeding*

[bgcolor=black][Continued from Kotobuki Network, page 18]
----
A beam of crackling blue energy beams into the city street by the cafe the brawl happened. A distinctive gunshot sound reverberating through the area. Once the light was gone there stood Xeel, stretching her arms behind her head as she turned around to go into the cafe... only to notice it completely decimated.
...What. Disbelief was an understatement. She turned around and beheld the devastation from the brawl that took place. ...Really?
She skimmed the area for combatants but found nothing. The bandit took a couple steps forward, her boots' decorations making a light jingling with each step. *CLANK* Xeel jumped and front flipped a solid 10ft in front of her while spinning to meet the noise that startled her, 4 kunai drawn... It was AD. Not just AD but an unconscious AD. Her favorite kind. I wanted a drink, but this is good too.
A wide grin appeared as she rubbed her chin. 'How will I get him out of here?' was the only thought. 'I don't have the physical strength to lift this lug.' Several moments past while she thought about the task at hand... Meanwhile AD continued to lay there.
Finally she openly speaks to herself Did they want him alive or just deleted? Xeel pulls up the screen for bounties and mumbles the description out until she hits the important part ...put down immediately. Eyes peered to him and the grin returned as she finished.
That I can do! The thief cracked both knuckles and slammed both hands into the ground causing a massive, 5ft radius stream of lightning to plummet into the Armored destroyer from the sky, frying him. The entire city block became aglow in a vibrant blue hue while Xeel electrified the unconscious bounty.

[glow=white,2,500]*Embera awoke to the sound of a gunshot, and waited as the minutes passed. Not anywhere near 100%, but still functional enough to move with power, she saw the blue lightning striking the purple navi. Pushing a stone aside, as if in a rage, Embera sprinted at Xeel.*
Embera: You will not touch him!
*Gripping Xeel by the face, Embera threw her away from his body, her own absorbing some of the electric shocks as the twinges of pain resounded. Her body was almost at its limit again, but she wouldn't let her destroy the one who helped keep her alive.*
Embera: So long...as I'm breathing...You won't...lay a hand on him!
*Embera's form wasn't as perfect as before, the exhaustion and pain were far from absent, as her body operated on almost sheer instinct, ready for what Xeel could throw at her.*[/glow]

[bgcolor=black]Xeel's grin was masked by the palm of someone with the audacity to lay a finger on her. She could only shift a glance at the interfering navi before being tossed away.
Xeel graced the ground with one hands fingers to flip herself upright and land in a crouched position. She remained there as she played the banter game with her new opposition. and who are you supposed to be? His woman? Xeel taunted while she rose to her feet. One hand tucked behind her back while the other juggled two orbs of condensed energy that swirled around each other.
The hidden hand had in it a small grenade with an index finger on the pin, ready to pull. I don't have to touch him if you don't want. Xeel joked once more at Embera's expense. Her voice was gentle, seductive even.
The orbs stopped rotating as Xeels hand slowed down it's gesture, then she pointed the palm outward to Embera and the duo orbs raced off to meet the staggered Solar Empress. Causing an explosion of painful neon blue color.
Xeel disappeared, or it looked like she did anyway. She leaped onto some rubble faster than most navi can see putting AD's corpse between herself and Embera, the explosion still coming the full force. The grenades pin was pulled and Xeel lobbed it at AD... however it was joined by 3 more in less than a second, all pins pulled and ready to boom. Just prior to reaching the metal clad navi the explosions happened while the Neon blue colors started to fade, replacing the blue light with a thicker colored red.

[glow=white,2,500]*Embera saw the orbs coming in and braced for impact. As they threw her back, she retaliated by sending a stream of fire at Xeel's head. Her eyes widened, however, as she saw the grenades thrown over the unconscious navi's body. Trying to keep up, Embera grabbed two of the three grenades, and tried to get between the final one and its target. As they went off, Embera was blown back. Refusing to give in, she tried her best to stand between Xeel and him again, this time restricted to a knee.*
Embera: No...You won't...take him![/glow]

[bgcolor=black]Xeels eye twitched slightly. Not many navis could keep up with her while she worked, but this one was doing a good job of it. Glancing at the explosions the lifeless body of another navi flung out. This one looked even worse than AD and Embera, half a helmet and more holes in him than a spiderweb. Xeel paid him no mind. Likely a civilian caught in the crossfire.
Look this is admirable and all, and if I were anyone else I might let you have your boytoy. but I'm not. I'm an assassin. This is my job. That was there was too it. This was a marked navi and she was the hunter.
Her body glowed with a faded yellow power and she lowered to a crouched position. Not but a couple seconds pass before she rises from the stance into a short jump, landing at street level hands slapping the ground.
All around her lightning defied real world physics by rising out of the ground in all directions with a pure yellow glow. Literally ripping the street, chunks of Xeels favorite cafe, all the navis, pretty much anything/anyone caught within a football field's distance, to shreds.
