Element City

[xoDeathy]

Rosario put his arm down to clutch to his hurt arm once again.

Well, he is greatly injured. It's no surprise to get no response. But I can't shake the feeling I'll run into them again. I guess it'll be okay to skip any hassle this time around

Rosario continued to work again. He was still limping a little, but managed. As he and the Navi crossed paths, Rosario gave him two simple words.

"Stay safe."

[notegg]

With bated breath Finale's argent orbs met Rosario's own. Very aware of the glitches that had suddenly overcome his body, Finale tortuously raises his sword Perdition. For a moment pointing the thing at the King's sharply dressed opposite.

"I am no one you need to know."

The navi lowers his sword again, taking in the carnage of the scene.

"Another wreckage..."

[xoDeathy]

Rosario stopped and took a deep sigh before turning around and facing the Navi. His eyes were calm now, which was new since he had awoken. When they weren't glowing blood red, Rosario's eyes are a chilling dried red and black.

"It appears so.. but you speak as if this has been occurring frequently. Do you know what's been happening here?"

[notegg]

"All too frequently, I'm afraid." The enigmatic 'king' states solemnly.

"This type of indiscriminate carnage looks like the work of the Armored Destroyer... You know him, of course? That purple terrori-

Purple Assail-

Purple... Armored... Destroyer."

The halting navi halts in place and takes a slightly more relaxed pose, standing as a contrast to the wreckage. He stops and starts his speech, as if something catches him with each word - words he knows could be used against him.

He looks sharply towards Rosario - a weaker navi, but matching himself in terms of version - or at least, his current version, seeing how glitched and corrupted the once idealistic navi had become.

[xoDeathy]

"Purple Armored Destroyer... I've never heard of him. When I woke up, I was here, and so was this wreckage."

Rosario looked past the regal navi and looked at the wreckage around them once again. It was definitely more depressing each time he took even a small peek.

"Whatever that thing is, hopefully it is not still around. We should find some place to rest."

Rosario looked at the similar conditioned navi once more. He couldn't help but stare, he was so mysterious, and acted a bit strange. His large sword seemed to be held with a more relaxed grip now, but what on Net could he have been doing?

"Do you know of anywhere nearby that we can go to recover that was not completely obliterated?"

[notegg]

"Follow"

Finale continues towards his continued destination, with little more than an order, and much less than an introduction.

{Walk out -> Forest Network}

[xoDeathy]

"..."

Without disobedience, Rosario did as told. He double checked the wounds done to his legs before walking, and then followed the tattered Navi.

{Walk > Forest Network}

[Unknown]

Data streams arced about the navi's lab table, circling faintly about the various vials. Streams that drew nearer to the dull orange vial seemed to grow fuller and more vibrant, as if quickly repairing themselves in an attempt to form something that once was, but deteriorate once more as they float away.

One navi, lost in time and memory, only a sliver of his power remains contained within the small vial. It yearns to return to its original form, yet lacks the strength to do so, its container the only thing stopping it from dispersing. A life support, yet also a prison holding within a conviction yet smothered.

Another, an unfortunate twist of fate, left to his own devices and set upon by unknown assailants. Barely had he entered this world before he was taken away from it. But still had much of his data filling various vials. Broken, but not beyond repair. All it needed was a key piece to start the process of repair.

And lastly, a final string of words attached to a rather large file with special instructions, an additional payment attached as well.

"We can't let this one disappear again, This should keep the container safe at the very least."

[Kazu]

The payment was enough to make the next procedure come quickly.

Addendum.

Another of the devices came into being , this time a blue spark birthed it into existence. Small blue orbs manifested around it and slowly they floated like soap bubbles to the surface of the laboratory table.

There was a brief pause before the glass wand was waved in protest.

Must I instruct you on taking initiative as well?

The device beeped twice as if protesting before showing two icons upon its screen. A lock and the classic "No signal". The glass wand pointed at it and rectified both problems with just a flick.

Data began to move again, this time aided by another process.

[Phen]

The data on the table seemed to vibrate, the vials clinking about in their holsters. A shell appeared before the desk, white in its entirety but humanoid. An empty base, a template even, for that which another would be imprinted upon. Data from the vials which sat on the array began to slowly slither their way out of their containers, moving to surround and integrate with the frame. Yet as they moved to write a navi, nothing changed, as if they were simply passing through it.

Without the help of a programmer or other force, the broken data could not create that which it was before, even with a framework to help with it. But as the data continued to flow from the table and circle about the frame, the piece of orange data, a remnant of one who cared to end the plights of others, flowed lazily out of its vial. In its pale tendrils, it snaked around and infused itself slowly with passing data streams, those with purpose. A minor tint to the otherwise white data streams as they reached and spun about the frame.

And as the contents of the orange vial finally integrated with the other data, as it surrounded the frame, its revolution speed picked up. Slowly, from various parts, a humanoid navi took form. Fingerless gloves, a long purple coat, fair brimmed hat, white hair. Looking almost more human than navi, though that was common nowadays. As the navi finished forming, clearly unconscious, it floated for a few moments, feet just barely off the ground.

But before any celebration of success could be had, feathered wings of pure white sprout forth from the back of the navi, coming down as a burst of wind came forth around the navi, pushing anything nearby away. As the gust of wind subsided, the wings enveloped the newly formed navi, a bright and blinding light came forth from the feathery cocoon.

And as the light subsided, the navi was gone.

[Kazu]

The lab coat stood there as the devices one by one disappeared in shimmering binary.

Not even a statement of gratitude.

With an eye-roll, he vanished, leaving nothing in the room but blank space and unrendered wireframes.

[Hellbreaker]

White.....it was white....Hutrt, pain, the sound of whirring, then white...

In alley of the ruined, once noble city, there was the crackling of lightning. The pulsing,crackly coursed a short distance above the ground, forming into the shape of a short,slender figure. A second later, Fulgur slams into the ground. He stares up, shaking slightly. So...that was what its like to be deleted. Breathing out, the young navi sits up. It was far, far from being pleasant...He had to get stronger, to avoid that...Standing up, he staggers out of the alley, looking around.

[xoDeathy]

A sudden hand grabbed Fulgur's shoulder. A light grasp by a hand encased in darkness. Small tendrils would seep out of the hand into the air. Actually, the whole being was encased in this darkness besides one distinct feature: his blood red shining eyes.

"Greetings."

[Hellbreaker]

Fulgur feeling a hand on his shoulder, jumps. Stepping foward, he spins, arming his buster and pointing it at the mysterious figure as the young navis helmet unfolds. His visible eye narrowing, he examines the literally shadowed figure. It looked different...but that voice....."R-Rosario, sir?Is.....that you?"

[xoDeathy]

The darkness encasing the Navi pops like a balloon, slowly floating and fading into the dull sky. Within was Rosario, his white suit now clear of any stains and hair cleaned smoothly. His eyes returned to normal.

"Yes. It appears I am back where I've started. Fortunately.." Rosario clenched his fist. "I've regained my strength from the darkness in the area before being expelled. That reminds me, you have not inquired me on your name, Mr. ONB seeker."
