Merrill turned and responded, no flinch, not angry. He noticed Rikaru's field was red. A Blood Red too. Interesting.
[shadow=yellow,up,300]"Then train with us. We aren't wasting time either. I need to make sure I have a grip on all this... Energy. Besides, the ONB is playing Battleship, effing around. Besides, I'm also testing a theory or two too. If you Trust me, it will be fine. Besides, If you win, i'll get off your front lawn. Either way, We all are trying to figure out a way to deal with this thing. Right now, there isn't much we can do, except get stronger, leran new skills, and BE IN TOP FIGHTING CONDITION.[/shadow]

Rikaru was not happy with Merrill trying to drag him in to their Little battle. This was not a joking matter. He had other things he rather deal with.
"...Fool. you really think that will matter? I was there. You can ask Warrior as well. That thing has more power then we could possibly hope to achieve even as a group. We don't need brute strength now...we need a plan."
Rikaru stopped for a moment, his anger and frustration vented mostly with his outburst. But he still was not interested in them screwing around and possibly damaging some part of his home.
"I don't care if you want to spend your try figuring out your new abilities. I just am telling you to do it somewhere else, where you won't interfere or disturb me as I try to learn more about this...thing..."

[bgcolor=232323] Warrior was pretty caught off-guard by Merrill's transformation... he certainly wasn't expecting this. It was nice to see him again after five and a half years, too.
And evidently this was Mirror... His appearance had certainly changed as well over the recent years. Even Warrior's image was strongly different -- he wore no armor now, wore no visors, and his hair was less spiky. As for the black scarf... that was anybody's guess, where it came from." ... Neat trick."[/color] Warrior grinned at the battle-request. His mind had totally been detoured from the larger world events due to the recent happenings in the past hour or so. His body was still not at its top condition after that virus-attack, but he was confident enough in his ability that he could hold his own against Merrill and Mirror.
His reunion was interrupted by that Navi who had just saved him.
How uncanny to be on someone's good and bad side after such a short period of time. But what Rikaru said was true.
This truly wasn't the most productive thing to be doing right now. And even if they were training for strength, he knew that no amount of man-power could take out that beast they had just fought, unless they found some way to greatly weaken it. There was no denying what Rikaru had said." ... He's right." Warrior looked to Rikaru as he referred to him, then back to Merrill." As far as the latest threat goes, we aren't accomplishing anything by this. But..." Warrior stepped up toward Merrill, inadvertently stepping in the way of Senshi's aim. " ... We can still be prepared for the threat to follow this one --" -- which there would inevitably be --" -- by training to hone our skills. I respect your abilities Merrill, and I agree to help you get a hold of them through a quick battle. But it can't be here -- the high mountains are to dangerous for a noisy fight anyway, and as Rikaru has pointed out, this is legally his territory." Warrior pointed to the Southern Flats, just at the end of the horizon, beyond the Elburus Range of mountains." We'll resume there. But when we're finished, we'll have to get back to gathering information about this monster that attacked Creamland and the other anomalies that have been happening. It may or may not require us to split up -- but you two deserve enough of my time for this brief reunion." Not necessarily waiting for a response -- or waiting for anything else to potentially go wrong -- Warrior began making his way to the Ural Tundra immediately, expecting Mirror and Merrill to follow." ... Perhaps I can catch you two up before we have to part ways again." After all, Warrior wasn't necessarily done in Sharo. It was just now that the information he had gathered from Iscon struck his mind, but he had been too caught up to address it, now. After searching the rest of Sharo, and several other Networks to learn anything about the beast or Iscon's mysterious data, Warrior would come back to report it to him. And Rikaru as well.
Having Merrill and Mirror with him could potentially make his search alot more effective, since three separate search parties would be far more effective than just one.[ Location Change: Warrior → Ural Tundra, the Southern Flats] |

Ooc: Warrior wasnt on his bad side per say. He didnt initiate this. Hahaha
Rikaru listened to Warrior, glad he was agreeing with him as far as a location change. He frowned mentally at Warrior saying it was Rikaru's land. That...technically wasn't correct. As Iscon told him before, he had claim on the mining here. Granted, this part was not being mined at the time.
Considering Warrior seemed to have the matter in his hands, he started to retreat to his home, not offering any parting words, his mind had been said.

Not having spoken throughout this whole ordeal, Mirror wasn't about to start now. Nodding at Merrill, he would be smiling at his friend in his new form, had it not been for the recent interruption.
As Warrior starts to make his way to the apparently more appropriate sparring location, Mirror begins to follow.
Though slightly bothered by the politics of the situation they just endured, Mirror reminds himself that sometimes it's better to not say anything, especially when you don't have anything nice to say.

Merrill nodded. He had to admit, he agreed. As bad as he wanted to test himself, he admitted they only had a short period of time. He turned to Rikaru. He scratched his head, then spoke to the retreating form of Rikaru
[glow=gold,2,300]"I apologize for disturbing you on your property and sorry for any inconvienece i have caused you, sir."[/glow]
He turned and followed Mirror and Warrior without another word. Healer jumped on his shoulder, and they took off, testing the new flying skills.

*As Merrill disappears, Iscon walks by on his way back to his home, obviously mumbling under his breath*
Iscon: HIS property... bah. I own 50% of this mountain, and Sharo owns the other 50%. There IS no HIS property... there's the property that he's squatting on...mumblemumblemumble....
*With a slam, the entrance to Iscon's cave seals behind him; the ice Navi obviously getting annoyed at all of the visitors*

Rikaru had finally gotten some quiet around here. He plopped into his chair and rubbed his brow with his thumb and middle finger, as if trying to alleviate a head ache.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Rikaru sighed, hoping it wasn't some other annoyance nearby. Surprised instead, he had a notice about two fresh bounties being posted up by the officials. 'Ha...still worrying about problem navi's when there is bigger issues at hand.' he thought, shaking his head.
He remained sitting there though, reading over the two wanted navi's. One sounded right up the alley of what they would normally post. The was vague at best behind the reason, and he for some reason was curious what he would be wanted for.
Finally deciding he may as well keep busy while he waited to hear back from Warrior, or his scan find anything, he decided to look into hunting the latter of tbe listings. A navi named Wave. Who knows, maybe he would find out some more information while he was at it.
Silently walking over to his teleporter he had his computer scan for any data that could provide a starting location, and then had it send him away in a beam of light.
Location.change: unknowm for now. Will edit in later.

Rikaru rematerialized inside of his home, or base, which ever one decided to call it. His hand still held the complete core of Wave, and as he stepped of the platform his teleporting had set him down on, he pondered the best way to go about this.
How does one assist in reviving a navi from their base data? he wondered. This was not something that happened just any day as far as he was concerned. Most navi's, himself included, had a method of self revival over time, unless they were so severely damaged it was rendered inoperable. He was left to assume that was what happened to wave, but he had no clue how to fix this issue.
He slowly walked over to his healing chamber, sliding the metal door back and placing the data inside. He figured if he had the means to help the data become a whole navi again, this machine was his best bet. Sliding the door closed, he stood staring at the control panel, trying to decide if he should just turn it on and hope for the best, or if he should try researching it some.
Ultimately, he figured nothing bad can happen...or shouldn't anyway, if he activated it as he looked into the matter farther. Pressing the start up key, the machine hummed to life, slowly doing what ever he could to assist the data inside to recover.
The machine going now, he made his way back to his main console once again, pulling up his chair, and beginning to search for any data he could find on what ever happened with Waves data. This is a lot more work then I figured for a stupid bounty

(( Only because it's you, Quick xD ))
As the machine began it's work, something akin to a human pulse could not only be heard coming from within the machine, but it could actually be felt beating against the cybernetic atmosphere around Rikaru and anybody else in the area.
Shocks began to zap Wave's data more intensely, much like a defibrillator. At each shock, the pulse would speed up and beat stronger, then slowly calm down again until the next shock. This repeated several more times until the heartbeat was able to maintain itself, at which point the machine began to glow with a bright cyan light, as if that energy from within was about to burst through.
But it didn't.
Instead, the energy contained itself within Wave's slowly-materializing body as the bright light began to dim down. The pulse was quieter now -- still self-sufficient, but no longer disturbing the digital air.
The machine's whirring and humming died down as well before it came to a complete stop -- finished with it's work, with an unconscious Wave lying face up inside.
(( One-post wrap-up, that was. You're free to do whatever you want with Wave, but I'll make no further posts than this one, for a while. If you wanna delete him, you've got my permission))

*Outside, Iscon returns from selling his wares once again. Tired and worn out, he pushes his cart inside of his cave and falls on his back in the snow to rest and view the clear night's sky. Without a doubt, Sharo could be seen as a largely peaceful place. However, at times it seemed almost boring... as if nothing ever happened beyond the daily grind. Reaching into his coat, Iscon pulls out the strange data that he'd obtained from inside the mountain and looks at it for a few moments, attempting to analyze it farther... but to no avail. With nothing else to do, he returns the data to his coat and simply lies lifeless in the snow, his eyes still locked on the stars*

Almost a month later...we continue our story...
__________________
Rikaru was searching still for clues as to Waves unique condition, when the pulse like beating began. He hadn't expected it to actually work, let alone that fast. Surprised he quickly rose and made his way over to the machine and watched the process continue, and then finish, leaving his target he had been hunting left unconsious and in his custody basically.
'Hmph...first one I will have been able to claim with out them fighting back.' his mused. He pulled out a small devise that he could use to connect with the bounty data base. As he began to scan through the files though to find this navi'a bounty, he noted two disturbing things...the first being the lack of the bounty he had seen on this navi earlier. The second, was HIS name was now on the list as well...
"...What...is this?!" he shouted out loud. He pulled up the notice, and read it over, realizing it was all from the incident where he allowed the life virus juuka to reawaken with-in himself...and how he was not able to contain it.
" ...dinkit!" He fumed again, driving his fist into the hard metal casing of the machine, slightly denting it. His frustration, and anger were clear...and with good reason. In the span of this short hunt, he was deleted, awoke a sleeping demon inside himself, managed to achieve a bounty on his own head for his efforts, and to top it off, the cause of it all, his original target, now was no longer even wanted.
He left the room, leaving the unconsious navi to remain laying inside the capsule, and entered a small room with hardly any furnishings at all. There was a lone shield and sword on the wall. Those two items were the center of his attentive gaze as his mind wandered over what has happened, not just now, but through the many years that have passed. Was this fate? Karma? Just bad luck?
He remained standing, staring, and thinking.
"What do I do now..."
Time passed. How much was hard to say, as Rikaru had let his thoughts consume him. He drifted from thoughts on what led up to this, to what he could do about it. He didn't really like any of the options he had thought of, but he knew he had to do one, and one was more prominent in his mind then the others.
He left the small roomfinally, and sat at his computer console once again, and after a few minutes of typing, he turned to shut it down. He wasn't sure how long it would be before he came back, depending on what happened. Wordlessly he moved over to the teleporter and activated it, his body shimmering as he turned into a beam of energy and shot through the ceiling, his destination known only to him...

Ooc: Guess it is all.me here alone. <.<
A floating core of energy slowly found its way back to the small 'base' Rikaru had made on the mountain peaks of Sharo. It pulsed weakly as it entered, and found its place inside a machine next to the one that still seemed to house Wave. Once inside, the machine seemed to activate its self, and a small monitor flickered to live, data streaming across it at a rate almost impossible to read.
Boot up sequence initiated....
....
...Stasis pod... online...
...
.......Re-compiler activated....
.............
....Data constructor..... online.
Restoration beginning...
Estimated time to completion: ...:19
[=___________________________________________]
[/i] [/center] Unlike most operated navi's, Rikaru had no PET to have data return to when deleted for reconstruction, and while the officials have put into effect a sort of net wide reconstruction service for those that are unfortunate enough to be deleted and have no OP...it was unable to reconstruct his data while "infected". Thus he managed to get his own restoration system running for his personal use. It was this now that was at work slowly rebuilding him from the glowing core inside the pod.
Warning...unknown fragmented...
.....
........data is compatible.....
.....
..will be included....
....unless canceled....
....
5...
...
3....
....
1....
....
Installing.....
The process would take some time still, but it was the price to pay for freedom...something more then worth any cost presented to him. His mind remained in a stasis during the recovery, but when he would awaken, he would finally be free from that infernal virus. For now though, the room remained dark, still, and almost silent, save for the soft humming of the machine at work, and the glow the screen attached.
Estimated time to completion.... :13
[========__________________________________]
[/b][/center]
Time continued to pass, Rikaru blissfully unaware how long his recovery was taking. Not that it was overly long, infact it was faster then the normal system the ONB has in place, but it would almost seem instantanious to him. The humming noise of the machine suddenly died away to a loud dinging sound that echoed through the room. The monitor blipped closed, and the pod clicked as the door opened. Small amounts of residual data floated up into the air, as the restored form of Rikaru remained laying inside, slowly reactivating. "Ugh..." he groaned, as he stirred from his 'rest'. His eyes slowly opened, and he stared at the ceiling, waiting for the room to stop spinning before attempting to get up. After a few moments, when he felt able, he did just that. Sitting up, and sliding himself out of the pod and landing on the floor, he quickly grabbed the side of the pod to steady himself. "..." he remained silent, seemingly deep in thought if anyone was to see him at the time. After a moment he seemed to show the fainted of grins. Why? Apparently, as far as he could tell, his plan had worked. He moved off into his room off to the side of the main one he had just been in, and silently pulled the sword and shield from the wall, attaching them to his back before turning and heading for the exit of his 'home'. He was free again it seemed, and he didnt plan to waste it inside...where he was heading though, even he didnt know. [Area left. Destination: Unknown] [/color]

Serix enjoyed time off, when she had it. She had often spent her days just lounging about, and today was no different, just in a different place. She was on the middle peak and had decided that twelve feet from the top would be a good place to rest. She seemed to almost fall down into the snow. If one noticed, they would see it melting around her, until it became nothing more than a pocket of steam. "mmm~ I love days like this."
She curled up into a ball-shape as she fell asleep. Hopefully, when she woke up, she would be fully charged for the events of the day. She still had to finish her climb, go back down, go for a run on the tundra, and a few other things. That being said, the steam made it hard for her to stay awake.

*As Serix sleeps, something suddenly begins to prod her side. Standing over her at roughly seven feet tall is a Navi clad in an over-sized brown coat with steel trim that covers the lower half of his face, a pair of massive spiked steel gauntlets, and a host of mountain-related tools strung across his form such as rope, grappling hooks, and pick axes. Looking on, he nudges her with a particularly large pick-axe fashioned on a long, black, flat shaft with a guarded handle*
Iscon: ....er.... excuse me.... but you're sleeping in front of my door.
*Iscon motions to a large rock formation covered in snow on the face of the mountain as he pulls a beaten up hover-cart full of junk data into view*
