The client seemed to accept his opinion, and left it at that. Which was well enough for him, as he didn't really want to get involved in anything here. He also raised to his feet when his client did, following him as he made way to depart. He stifled a chuckle at the parting remark, choosing not to add one of his own as he walked out the door.
They would finally head towards the under-net entrance once they left the bar, which was fine with him. He walked in silence in step next to his client, not having much to say or ask at the time.

Antlion watched from above, sitting atop buildings and staring deep into the reaches of this odd internet... Navis of all types came in and out, desiring, wanting, needing... He did not care a bit, all he wanted was to find himself, get out of this mystery, and go home. His mind freed of the burden to memory... As he stared, he began to mutter to himself...
"This place... It fills me with this desire... Something lost long ago, I miss this desire, this passion I once held... But why? WHY do I lust? Why do I need? Why am I here?!"
He stayed silent for a few seconds, giving time to ponder his own words before muttering single word...
"...Why?"
He stood up, looking above this world, looking above this new home he may embrace, or newfound hole he may leave, he began to pace frantically, like a madman talking to himself...
"...That's always the question! That's always the retort! Why?! Why why why?!"
He seemed confused, angry almost, he finally stopped pacing, and slumped down again, letting out a sigh...

"Why? better yet, why did they take it from you? By they, I mean those lightmongering navis that always say they can "do no evil." Fat lot of hypocrites. And tell you what, I'll even help you out."
A navi in a black and purple pinstriped suit stepped out of the shadows and walked towards Antlion. As he reached the navi, he introduceed himself, and handed Antlion something. That something was a dark chip.
"The name's Blackout, here, take this battle chip. Use it each time you fight, it will make you stronger. One thing though, pick your battles. Don't attack in public areas until you are strong enough. For now, lure your enemies to you, and to their end."
The battle chip in question bore an image of Antlion within it's black border.
"Go, fight, and find the answers you so desperately seek."

Antlion stood as the stranger came out of the shadows, and clutched the Dark Chip in his palm, memories already flowing...
He began to recall his NetOp... A woman was all he could think of...
Remembering battles, how he dominated the field... But all he could think was of how much stronger he was then than he was now...
He recalled his presence, how people feared him...
Antlion's head was hanging for a bit, gazing deeply at the chip, his breath was calm, but loud, he seemed to embrace the chip's power...
"I can feel it, this... thing. It's old, like me... An artifact of another era..."
He chuckled...
"Ambushing and predatory combat is something I enjoy..."
He looked at the stranger, and nodded, his mandibles chittering as he did so...
"I am Antlion... I don't know exactly why I am here, or who I truly am... But thanks to you, Blackout, I can finally try to find that..."

"Well, if you ever need anything, you know where to find me. Or rather, you will once you hear the sound of Young girls squealing with excitement."
As he said this, Blackout pulled out his guitar, sat down on the ledge, and started playing a song that had tones of darkness, despair, and anger behind it.
"To be honest, I do not know where our paths may lead us. However, should we meet again, I'll buy you a few drinks."

A thin thread of light strikes and moves across the ground rapidly, leaving behind bits of data. Materializing into the network B.o.B. appears. Its tall and slender form standing hunched, head lulling down. A feint boot up sound can be heard as B.o.B. lifts up its head. With a slow swivel of the neck B.o.B. takes in its surroundings. B.o.B. thinks to itself quietly "New network...new data..." The sound of music can be heard near by and up high, but B.o.B. is not interested. B.o.B. has never been much of an audiophile and often disregards most audio data. Something at its feet catches B.o.B.'s eyes, the road. A cobble stone path way of fine craftsman ship. Seeing this B.o.B's eyes flick on, two white squares on its otherwise blank face plate. B.o.B. kneels down and moves its bulky right hand over the surface below. A soft orange light appears from the tips of B.o.B.'s fingers before gently slipping through the top of the road. Command Order-Break Down Cmpstn. A cube proportionate to the size of B.o.B's hand vanishes from the road. A familiar pleasant feeling of understanding flows over B.o.B. as it fully comprehends the data it just deconstructed. Looking up B.o.B. feels a sense of appreciation and adoration for the beautiful craftsman ship of the roads. Looking back down and switching its left hand to be over the strange hole it had just created, a blue ring around B.o.B.'s wrist pulse once with light. Command Order-Build. Using the data it had just acquired through deconstruction B.o.B. attempted to fill the hole by recreating the data. Unfortunately a simple round cobble stone cube was created instead. The cube looked completely out of place, the edges of cube and the sharply cut square hole did not match up giving it a peculiar look. Even worse the top stuck out just enough so that if someone were to walk by without paying attention they would be sure to trip. B.o.B. simply stood and shrugged, enjoying the new understanding it had just gained and appreciating the mark that would forever signify the moment B.o.B. entered this new world.

Antlion's beady eyes widened, as the DarkChip he held began to compel him to attack the B.O.B below... He was ready for the kill, all set to destroy... He slid down the side of the building, hiding in the shadows, watching B.O.B carefully. He did not act on instinct, keeping control, he watched...

B.o.B. meanders around the alleyways of the network,lightly tracing the walls and objects strew about with its right hand. Not knowing of the imminent danger lurking in the darkness. B.o.B. thinks to itself,"...nothing of interest...maybe I should try exploring a new network..no...just a bit longer...maybe if I'm lucky I'll find something really spectacular...there has got to be something...I've only explored so little of this place...yeah definitely stay longer." B.o.B. continues to walk about.

Antlion didn't immediately spring into action, rather, he wanted to intimidate and scare his prey before striking...
"Lady death yearns to see you..."
He said, stepping out from behind B.o.B, hunched over slightly as he approached...
"Perhaps... I can arrange a meeting..."
He said, drawing energy into his palm, conjuring what appeared to be a swarm of Locust-Wasp hybrids, at least a thousand strong of them... He chuckled as he approached slowly...

B.o.B. heard noise from behind it, its head swiveling around to display a red "?". A massive, even compared to B.o.B.'s own height, black insectoid was approaching B.o.B. from the rear. "What it that?" B.o.B. thinks. B.o.B. turned around to face the approaching newcomer. B.o.B.'s eyes flicked on focusing in on what was in the stranger's hand, "That's interesting...never seen that before...waiting was the right choice" B.o.B.'s right hand began to slowly rise as if to reach out touch the swarming cloud,"I hope it will let me see one...yes...of course it will...I have to know how it works." Having either not heard or just simply ignore the beings previous statements B.o.B. did not retreat but instead moved closer to the stranger. B.o.B.'s insatiable curiosity bubbling up and consuming its focus "I have to know...I must know..."

"This will sting..."
Antlion said, rearing his arm back, festering the swarm into a tiny ball...
"...A lot!"
He then chucked the swarm at B.o.b, unless he was quick enough to move, he'd be hit with a ball of swarming insects, which would sting and bite him relentlessly...
As he chucked the swarm, Antlion moved back, doing a near backhand-spring as he leaped away, making sure to keep distance...

As B.o.B. reached out towards the swarm only to have it quickly reared back."Wait no please just let me..." B.o.B. was then consumed by the swarm of insects biting and sting it all over its body. Each sting/bite hurt, but B.o.B. accepted them all with the feeling of trying to gain a better understanding of them. Using its right hand B.o.B. cut a swathe through the cloud deleting whole sections of the tiny bugs"Command Order-Break" The break down of the swarms data composition rushes into B.o.B.'s mind. "Wow what an intricate design, such finesse in the workings of a tiny...oh" B.o.B. reached the code that indicated that these bugs where meant for an attack. "Command Order-Break Wave" An orange orb of energy, with B.o.B.'s right hand as the epicenter, explodes out deleting the remainder of the swarm and any objects laying about. The opponent is enveloped in the energy, but it only feels like a small invasive push as the wave passes over it. Looking up B.o.B. sees that the other has gained some distance from it. B.o.B. displays a vertical sword on its face plate, and B.o.B. takes a ready battle stance leading with its right hand. |

"Huh, so that happened..."
Antlion said, noting the navi's stance, and how he conducted himself... As Antlion stepped back a bit, he conjured a Swarm of those same wasp-locust hybrids to cover the panels around B.o.B, if he were to dare trek on one of those panels, he'd be bitten and stung again, horribly...
"Give in! You have no hope!"
He yelled, as he began to charge head-long, almost reaching into himself grotesquely as he did, and unleashing a Blast Radius around himself towards B.o.B...
(Out of Character Note: Anything highlighted in red that I list is a hint towards what attacks I am using, you don't have to do the same, but it'd be helpful if you did)

A strange energy rushed towards B.o.B. hitting it and knocking B.o.B. backwards. B.o.B.:"oof..." "Frickin that hurts!" B.o.B. catches its balance facing its opponent. In B.o.B.'s vision a heads up display now showed a tag on its opponent: 20% AnlyzedCmpstn. "ugh...I hate fighting just let me figure out how those bugs work...Antlion?...huh so this thing is a navi?...wait what is this junk, most of this is just corrupt memory files?! None of this is the data I want...darnit now I have to fight to figure it out...what a pain..."B.o.B. braces itself raising its left arm "Command Order-Build Crash Shot" B.o.B.'s left hand shoots out a string of data at Antlion, midway materializing a massive stone cube hurling itself at the target. "Command Order-Build" B.o.B. Creates an object in front of it to intercept oncoming attacks. "Did he say something about hope? Whatever weirdo why are you attacking me for no reason just let me analyze those bugs of yours and leave me alone...I've got a bad feeling about this one...just in case..."The base of B.o.B.'s right hand begins to spin charging up energy.

The cube smashed into Antlion, making a horrible crunching noise as he flew backward, sliding on the ground...
"Ah... You pest! You make me hungry!"
He yelled, getting up, somewhat limply as it seemed the cube did considerable damage, then the swarm faded away...
"COME HERE!"
Antlion ran across the side of a building's wall, and jumped at B.o.b, attempting to quite literally try and eat his face, his jaws opened wide to chomp if he landed on him...
