"By interesting, I mean anything that will help navi-kind to survive this assault on our very existence. And, little girl, my name is Shade."
He didn't care what these two thought of him taking this journey with them. He just wanted to get this problem solved so that he could go on a very long vacation.
"Like it or not, I'm going with you. Call it sheer idiocy if you like, or you could say that i am politically correct, but neither are true. Honestly I just want to destroy the being that woke me from my eternal slumber."

"Ashamed? Hah. Hardly. Some might say I should be ashamed of my beliefs. I just. . . never expected a Nihilist to be so kind. Not only have you removed that pest, but you've offered me someone to converse with. If you want food for thought, then here's a topic: Anarchy."

(( Derrrrp. ))
Megami.EXE: "If the mission be for a fool, I must therefore be a fool for my loved ones."
Silence almost immediately shot back with a retort.
Silence.EXE: "Then I pray that 'dying recklessly' be part of that."
He was obstinate. He quietly hoped that she meant "loved" as in that she loved them and perhaps not the other way around; did she forget that one of the greatest pains that one could cause their loved ones was their own death!?
...Still. This was her decision. He somehow just fell into a position of advisor, that was all. This was her decision. It was her prayer, it was her wish.
...And he had no right to intrude upon that.
Shade.EXE: "Like it or not, I'm going with you. Call it sheer idiocy if you like, or you could that that I am politically correct, but neither are true. Honestly I just want to destroy the being that woke me from my eternal slumber."
That hopeful of the idea? When was everyone here in a 'group?' When were we on a quest together? Was this some online text-based roleplay?
Silence.EXE: "...Then I hope you will accommodate my need for a living shield, though I have no interest in your 'being' or threat, even if he may help you to sleep... forever. The fact that you stand here alive..."
A sickening smile appeared underneath the hood again, that same disturbed grin that had streaked across the Navi's face as before.
He suddenly vanished and then appeared right at Shade's face, now leaving every detail of his ashy-pale flesh visible. Still, his face was concealed in shadow, as if somewhere underneath that cloak were monstrosities to be cached away from the world's eyes. However, that was of little concern at the moment--the cloaked Navi now had his fingers at Shade's throat, as if to gently stroke his chin, like a pet, complete with an uneasy twinkle now glimmering from his glowing gold eyes.
Silence.EXE: "...Could we consider that a miracle?"

[bgcolor=000055] “This is not the reunion I wanted at the moment” [/font] _______________________________[/right] "By interesting, I mean anything that will help navi-kind to survive this assault on our very existence. And, little girl, my name is Shade."
Megami tilted her head with a puzzled face. It was not the first time she was called “little” girl. After all, she was technically a year-old now.
"Like it or not, I'm going with you. Call it sheer idiocy if you like, or you could say that i am politically correct, but neither are true. Honestly I just want to destroy the being that woke me from my eternal slumber."
Megami’s expression changed at this.
It was not rage, anger, or frustration. The chestnut haired NetNavi had looked upon Shade with a saddened expression. She already had known what was necessary seeing that this NetNavi was adamant and stubborn. She wanted to question those feelings, so how like her own they were, but there was very little time for that. Instead, she had simply given a gentle smile knowing that he had given her the insight.
The same eyes had gone from the NetNavi to Silence. “Regardless of motives, a reason is always a reason, yes?” Megami had said kindly as if agreeing with Shade. “What of you if I may ask, Silence, sir? This place you once were and know little of, if you wish to be here, then perhaps I can simply tread this dangerous land by your side? My journey may take me into depths for information and to have company is always assuring. My NetOp had told me...”
Megami’s eyes digressed for only a second, as if to feel the dread of the irony.
“...that being together with someone is better than being alone.”
Megami could have asked a lot of questions at that moment seeing the predicament she was in, but she knew that this NetNavi could not answer for Xenneth. She wanted to know why he did not want her help, but she could only guess that, like her, he had to be brave by himself. He did not need her for everything, and he was not weak. It was everything that she wanted Xenneth to become when she first met him. She declared that together for paying him back for awakening her from her unconscious slumber and giving her purpose, she would “awaken” him as well and teach him that he had the courage he dismissed so many times over!
And so she did, but...why did she feel so sad?
Regardless, Megami had gazed upon the stray NetNavi. Her eyes had seemed to be at their formal gaze of calm and tranquility. ”...and what of you, Sir Shade? Can I not sway your decision to join me that is clouded by vengeance? Mistake my intention not to consider you annoying, rather I just feel that your intentions are not pure for such a reason to accompany this journey. Rest assured, you can return to your slumber or simply wait on the other side.” ______________________________ “But it will have to do for right now!” [/font][/center] ::OOC Stats::Now Listening To: ”The Zone” by The WeekendIC Attire: Megami:: Graceful Goddess {Default}Nu :: Default Chatty Ditz: ----[/size]

My journey may take me into depths for information and to have company is always assuring. My NetOp had told me... ...that being together with someone is better than being alone."
Silence vanished again suddenly, appearing by Megami, his eye seeming to literally almost fall off, as it seemed to displace itself to where his nose should have been under the shadow cast by his hood. He reached in with his hand and appeared to struggle a bit as he placed the golden light back in what appeared to be an eye socket.
Silence.EXE: "What I do here is of my own accord. If you join me, I am under no obligation to compensate you, nor will I stray from my agenda."
Silence said everything so... certainly, so surely, yet he appeared to have no weapon as he said all of this. It was perhaps unsettling that he seemed somewhat confident in his 'duty' or business here, despite appearing unarmed.
Silence.EXE: "Whether any of you survives... is not of my concern."
The glowing eyes were now focused on Megami's eyes, his other eye now appearing loose and as if about to fall out again.

*He let out an audible, sickly chuckle to Static. Anarchy wasn't a foreign concept. Did he forget where he was?*
?: Boy, look around you. This is the Undernet. You're living in an anarchy! This is the lawless part of the net for ya...
*The navi then began a fit of coughing, almost as if he were choking. Coughing up a small amount of acid, he accidentally burned a hole in the floor. Wiping his mouth, he continued.*
?: Sorry. As I was saying, I enjoy the freedoms that come with this lawlessness.

Static let out a chuckle, then replied quickly, his red eyes filling the room with light.
"Even still, this realm is imperfect, is it not? Someone I know says its for those who've lost a reason to live. It's an anarchy, but it still clutches to the realm of monetary value. This place is anything but free. If it's filled with people who still want to have something over others, then its as despicable as New Life's totalitarian government. But now I'm ranting."
Static let out a hand to shake, glad he had the Anti-Toxin program he had purchased from a rather shady BBS. He laced his hand with a slight bubble layer to be safe though.
"I don't think we've been properly introduced. Name's Static."

?: Imperfection is what I live for. Improvements are wonderful, but once you attain perfection, there's nothing more. Once you achieve your goals, you've lost your reason to live. Make them unattainable, but fruitful as well, and your bounty will be aplenty.
*Extending his hand to shake, he gripped his hand firm, as if he was in prime health, as if the coughing spasm was nothing. The moment he made contact, he scorched Static's hand. The Anti-Toxin did nothing to prevent the fire from seeping through and burning him.*
?: My name isn't important...but I guess you can't call me "hey you" so... call me "Corrosion".
*The cloaked navi removed his hood revealing a short cut hairstyle, with almost a smoldering appearance to it. He walked over to the window to observe a scene outside. The sky was filled with video noise, out in the distance, he could see a petty mugging. Nodding his head at the simplicities of his home, he began coughing again, spitting up more acid, melting most of the windowsill he was holding onto. Feeling his hands sinking, he pounded onto the now softened structure. Shaking his head while wiping the "gunk" from his mouth, "Corrosion" apologized to Static before continuing.*
"Corrosion": I'm sorry for that. But you're right, the Undernet is imperfect. However, this place is my best option, and all-in-all, I enjoy it. Even if I am destroying my home piece by piece. There are things you can't fix, and it's pointless to try. While it's still standing, however, this is mine, and it's open to you, stay out of the rooms that still have doors, and you're welcome whenever you want, Static.

Mistake my intention not to consider you annoying, rather I just feel that your intentions are not pure for such a reason to accompany this journey. Rest assured, you can return to your slumber or simply wait on the other side.”
Vengeful? Was that how I made myself sound? He thought for a bit, choosing his next words carefully.
"I assure you, kind girl, that I am not in this due to some dark motive. I simply would like to defend my right to exist, even if it means defending others in the process. Can't get rid of me that easily. Oh...and you, cloaked one, I'm no-one's 'meat shield'."

Shade.EXE: "Oh... and you, cloaked one, I'm no-one's 'meat shield.'"
Silence's grin widened... again. His head, though not the rest of his body, creaked a bit as it turned to face Shade in the eyes.
Silence.EXE: "...Perhaps not yet. However, if... 'like it or not, you're going with us,' then you should perhaps... invest in preparing to become one. I do not have any interest in any of your rights to exist or your agendas."
More creaking could be heard from around Silence's neck.
Silence.EXE: "I hope you acknowledge that where I go is simply by my own volition, and that it is unlikely that following me around... will find you this petty 'right to exist.' No one in this... Hel of sorts... has any right to exist. I am no exception."
At the end of those words, his eyes appeared to burn for a moment, as if turning into bright orange flames, before stopping and returning to their original golden colour. Silence placed his hand over his eyes, as if almost trying to put them back in their sockets.

[bgcolor=000055] “This is not the reunion I wanted at the moment” [/font] _______________________________[/right] ‘No one in this... Hel of sorts... has any right to exist. I am no exception."
Megami’s spirit dying a little. She tried not to think about her own existence.
“Silence-san,” she spoke up weakly, “There is no need for you to think of compensating me. Your words’ enlightenment to me are worth their weight of value.”
Megami did not think too much on the NetNavi’s creaky and eerie body; how could she be so wayward to someone whom made her think so deeply about herself and informed her about this world she was experiencing behind her. Had he not warned her, Megami certainly would have waltzed into this world with the utmost naïve attitude and not being on guard. The angelic NetNavi would not truly consider that this place; hell was dangerous but thought it was some other Network area to be explored. She was so ignorant about the world: this one’s and his as well and still she wanted to experience his.
“I just would feel better knowing if I were to be doing something kind for not just Xen-kun, but you as well, if this world will destroy me as you claim it will.” Megami said with a nod before looking to Shade with a slide of her eyes, “However Silence-san, to allow such a thing is solely up to you. I will not burden you with my presence, no more than I would like to be burdened with the safety of another for a path I am about to take for my own selfish reasons.” ______________________________ “But it will have to do for right now!” [/font][/center] ::OOC Stats::Now Listening To: ”The Zone” by The WeekendIC Attire: Megami:: Graceful Goddess {Default}Nu :: Default Chatty Ditz: ----[/size]

[bgcolor=black]A large, hulking heel navi lumbers into view behind Silence. In his right hand a vicious looking scythe, and his left a small orb of dark energy.
hurhurhur The navi fumbles the words out haphazardly, grips the scythe with both hands, the orb empowering the weapon to lethal levels... and swings in a downward arc, going to cut right through Silence's mid section.

"Son of a..."
Without thinking, the vampiric navi charged Silence, taking his place as the scythe's target. Even just being grazed by it brought him an excruciating amount of pain. He did his best to hide it though, not wanting to look weak in front of anyone.
"Sneak attacks aren't exactly an honorable way of dealing with an opponent."
Before anyone else could utter a word, there was a ring of bats hovering at about the height of the attacker's mid-section. Each bat had a glowing orb of energy charged, ready to let loose a bolt of pure electricity at the slightest movement.
"Now, what business you have with the shrouded one is none of mine. However, I can't just sit back and allow you to kill him just because of whatever it is."

[bgcolor=000055] “This is not the reunion I wanted at the moment” [/font] _______________________________[/right] Such an unwarranted attack!
Megami had to be quick as she had saved half a second to breathe; the other half of a second reaching out her hand that was rich with a bright golden aura that raced to her palm. By the time the scythe reached her, Silence was safe and Megami fending for herself in the wide range of the blade. Her palm rich with the aura met with the weapon as she was sent flying aback. The feet of the NetNavi left a trail of the dark soothe that kicked up. Dust or ashes? She would rather not know what she was choking on as she let out something ghastly.
*Cough! Cough!* Megami’s gasps for air mixed with the dust. *Cough! Cough!*
Megami had stood up once she had gotten in a good breath. Adrenaline was running through her, and in her hand was the aura that turned into her fully formed staff that was on hand. She had narrowly saved herself the trouble of a powerful, crippling blow as shown by the vapor trail of where the weapon was struck, but Megami had seemed to survive thus far. However, even as ready, the NetNavi had looked up to the sight of Shade who had seemed to stand his ground before the NetNavi and her eyes searched out for the cloaked familiar.
“Everyone’s okay...” Megami had said as she gazed from Silence to Shade; his stance slightly off and her eyes gazing upon him as he “seemed” to have the upper hand. She would help, but she wanted to see how things to develop, not to mention, she was not sure if she would been in the crossfire.
"...I think." she said after summing up the situation in her head. ______________________________ “But it will have to do for right now!” [/font][/center] ::OOC Stats::Now Listening To: ”The Zone” by The WeekendIC Attire: Megami:: Graceful Goddess {Default}Nu :: Default Chatty Ditz: Crap post.

Shadow continued limping along through the Undernet. Nu was following him still, well last he looked anyway. He still was unsure about this...thing...tagging along. But he hadn't until now considered having underlings could be useful, and thus far she seemed content with following him...so he wouldn't complain.
Various memories of different things he had done in the past occupied his thoughts as they walked along a path he had chosen, hoping it would lead them to the Hackers N. But he suddenly stopped as he looked around the area they were passing through.
'mmmm....' he swore there was something about this place that was familiar...what exactly he couldn't recall though. He continued to stare at a specific building that seemed more run down then most of the others in the area. In fact he was surprised it hadn't collapsed. Suddenly though it hit him.
"Ah...That's right...what a shame..." He said, mostly to him self. He remembered that a prominent dark chip dealer operated out of that specific building years ago. He even supplied the extremely rare advanced dark chips. Something he hadn't seen in a long while. He decided he would check the building out, if nothing else to see if there was anything left behind. And maybe if he was lucky he would find a clue as to if he had relocated, or heck might even find him there still.
Silently he began to head towards the entrance of the dilapidated building, kicking the door open when he reached it, and slowly entering to see what might be inside.
