From one of the higher up scaffolds, a massive earthen block was thrown at the pair loitering around. Dust, gravel and unattended tools were kicked up into the air upon its impact upon the landscaped net-earth. When gravity finally settled the situation, a loud yell came from above.
IF YOU TWO AIN'T HERE TO WORK--
A second gargantuan brick came down at the pair.
THEN GET THE F*** OUT OF HERE!
Construction workers weren't too friendly. This one in particular wasn't friendly at all.

"I'm here to work. I'm just waiting for some friends that should be along shortly."
As Kidd said this, he climbed up the scaffolding to meet the foreman.
"So, what still needs to be done? Also, I don't speak for the destructive one down there."

Fulgur appears on the scene, his buster activated and growling with electricity."Kidd, you OK?!?" He spots Legion, and his eyes narrow, the growl of lightning picking up pace.It seemed evident he was ready to take any damage to his comrade out of the Darkloid's hide.
However,he spots Kidd unharmed, and talking to the foreman. The navis weapon deactivates, and he scratches the back of his head in a embarrassed manner, before giving Legion one last wary look and walking over."U-uhm...sorry...I'm here to help..."

Kidd saw what was transpiring from above. Instinctively, he jumped off of the scaffolding and landed just in time to catch the mass of rocks and fire before spinning around multiple times and hurling it back at Legion
"We're here to build, not to destroy!"

That worker wasn't the foreman at all, but he did take charge as if one. After sliding down the ladder railings it became apparent that this navi wasn't the foreman. No jacket or safety helmet like the other navis or Builder-Mets wore. He was much taller than the rest, and looked more capable of wrecking building rather than building it.
Brawn: Go get clearance first to work first. I don't know who you'd talk to for that, but do it. Most of us here are on contract.
After speaking to Kidd and Fulgur he pointed at Legion.
You try n' pull that **** again, I'll break your *****' neck!

Fulgur's eyes widen as Legion changes, seeming to actually absorb the stone surrounding him. Then,the darkloid launches a attack, that though slow, looked like it could do damage. The young navi deploys his buster and begins charging up for a Wolf Roar, streamers of electricity flowing into the weapon. Though he didn't think he'd have enough time to charge fully, he hoped to be able to at least deflect it safely away.
Fortunately, Kidd handles it, managing to grab it and send it flying back at Legion. Ful blinks, impressed, then concentrates, making sure to keep his eyes on the Darkloid as his weapon continues charging. There was no way he was relaxing unless he had to, though the navi spares the book a curious glance.

Yet as his threats and actions subsided. That which was held within him, granting him such primal power, did so act upon his feelings. Seeing that being created around it, so much to bring to ruin. And whats more, a land once their own now returned to its natural state. Legion's instinct was overwhelmed by a new one. A fury quenched only by the strongest, but those nearby would do in a pinch.
The color gained from absorbing the stone drained out of his body, his aura surging without his consent. The Condensed hope was acting finally, and that ground where Legion stood began to crack ever so slightly. A voice resounded in Legion's head, commanding him despite the thoughts seemingly coming naturally.
[smear:ffa900]Do not let them belittle you, show them a power they could not even begin [/smear:FF0000][smear:ff0000]to fathom. Bring all around you to Ruin.[/smear:000000]
As the voice subsided into the deep reaches of Legion's mind, the power which flowed anew through his body surged even stronger. Each movement he could feel the resistance of the digital world around him, and with each even more powerful movement, he could feel those restraints breaking. Strings of data with no home, torn asunder under this new strength, never to create again.
For whatever power he thought he gained, fallen before a greater one, one which can only bring Ruin and that which follows.

Mid flight, Kidd switched the positioning so that his armored self could serve as a buffer for Brawn. When Kidd hit the ground, there was a loud pop, followed by a soft thudding sound as he broke Brawn's fall.
"Well, to say that this was unexpected would be a bold faced lie. So...what happened to all that good **** you were talking earlier."
Standing up, Kidd quickly discovered the source of the popping sound. His left arm was broken.
"Well ****. Looks like I'll need your help after all."
Opening up a menu, Kidd sent an emergency broadcast to the Green Tempest as well and to any INDF members not currently on site.
"Tell your people to evacuate. They'll just get in the way otherwise. I suggest you do the same."
As he said this, Kidd found two pieces of wood and a piece of fabric. Tearing the fabric into three strips, he used two to wrap the wood and his arm into a splint. The third he wrapped around his head.
"I need to return to the field, just do as I said and don't get yourself killed."
Sighing, kidd started walking back towards where Legion was, the ground freezing below his feet along the way.

Fulgur blinks as his buster is clogged with rocks, and he shoots a glare at Legion, starting to get fed up with his antics.Thankfully, though his buster was interrupted, it had still charged enough to put out a devastating blow,if not one capable of really teaching his foe a lesson.
And it looked like he'd need to. Legion flips out as red electricity forms around him, seeming to char the earth itself as his voice becomes even more demonic.He attacks quickly, throwing Koga and Brawn away, then coming after the young navi himself. Fulgur grunts as his face is dug into. Asked how he wanted to die, he narrows his eyes."Sorry, its your turn!!"
The navi raises his buster, pointing it right at Legions face. Then...he fires. A glow leaks outbetween the rocks, then with the sound of thunder blast into the Darkloid, followed by a large beam of concentrated lightning. The yawning jaws of a electric wolf engulfs Legion's head, followed by the rest of the beam.taking the opportunity, Ful jerks back,grabbing the book and running off towards Kidd.Maybe this tome was why he went crazy...

The roar of a feral beast resounded in Ion’s ears as he warped directly into the middle of a warzone. Energy topped up from Vince’s miraculous work in the short time it had taken Ion to teleport, his gauntleted hands squeezed tight into fists as he saw Fulgur’s face marred by the claws of RageGrade. His view from beside one of the majestic pillars that had been newly carved, offered him a little protection from the battle ongoing in the front of the castle.
Seeing the vortex drag Fulgur closer, watching Kidd with a makeshift sling, the char of ground around, Ion’s senses sharpened. The world took on an unsettling hyper-realism in Ion’s eyes, as his entire focus was drawn to the razors edge of the void. The void wrapped around him, the darkness welcoming his mind, drawing it deeper and away from the accessory revolt at seeing Grade crush Fulgur’s arm and smash him into the ground. It was then, during the short monologue that RuinGrade gave that Ion acted. As RuinGrade stomped his foot and sent a rupturing fissure of glitches forward to entrap Fulgur, Ion reached out with his own elemental affinity and a significant portion of the power that he had borrowed from their homeserver to shift the properties of the glitches ever so slightly. Sweat breaking out on his brow at the strange difficulty he had in this task, Ion allowed the chaos of the glitches to consume Fulgur. As the fissure tightened around Fulgur’s body, Fulgur would notice that instead of holding him in place, the glitches were warping him elsewhere if only he would duck fully into them.
The glitches would warp Fulgur to a pillar near Ion, but out of immediate sight of RuinGrade if he would allow the glitches to consume him instead of staying for the innumerable rounds of fiery devastation that RuinGrade lay across the area. At the ground beneath the glitch portal would be a small white coin for Fulgur, a secure communications device.
Images of Fulgur and Kidd reflected in his mind. They would need a moment to gather their thoughts and regroup. He could buy them that at least. With a deep breath, Ion’s gauntleted hands glowed with a soft light before he rose from his crouched position behind the pillars. Ion sprinted from behind his pillar and like a hare caught in the open made his way towards a heaping pile of quarry rock away from both Koga and Fulgur’s hidden position. Leaping up onto it, he cried out, ”Are you alright?!” using both hands to arrest his forward motion, he looked down on the side Legion could not see, concern clear on his features as he looked down at the pile of rubble. Turning wildly as though remembering the threat that stood behind him, Ion called out to RuinGrade.
“Grade stop! Wake up and let’s find Alpha! Destroy the undestroyable, this fodder doesn’t even sharpen your claws.” Throwing his arms wide, another small white coin was thrown through the air to Kidd. Small enough not to be noticed when Ion was presenting such a deliciously open target for RuinGrade.

Fulgur runs as fast as he can, huffing, but is suddenly being dragged back. He shakes his head in denial, running against the force of the vortex, but fails, falling to the ground.The time is dragged from his grasp, and his chest is stomped on, elicting a grunt. He tries to raid his buster and fire, but its stomped on and shattered, along with most of his arm.
The navi grits he teeth, then let's out a cry as he's picked up and slammed into the ground, injured, bone broken. He clenches his remaining fist, slamming it into the ankle closest to him..A fissure then rises up, trapping him.As Legion begins to blast, he instinctively shrinks back into the glitches, and....is taken away?
He lands near behind a pillar, out of sight, as Ion rushes towards the rubble pile. Clinching Hus mouth shut, doing his up most best not to make noise, he glances around, then spots a small white coin. Ful slowly reaches out, grabbing it and examines it curiously.A...communicator?

Kidd easily snatched the coin out of the air with his good arm. He tucked it into his headband, just above his sonic sensors.
"So.....I don't think this is that Grade fellow you keep mentioning. Maybe at one point.....but this is something different in front of us now. That being the case, there is no excuse for holding back. So, how do we beat him?"
Saying so, he continued walking towards Ion, Ice still building from his footprints, and drawing Shiela.

Seeing Kidd move closer to him out of the corner of his eye alongside his transmission, Ion immediately replied with his thoughts translating seamlessly to the Comm.Link.
“He definitely isn’t, but he’s also not sure who he is. Doesn’t hurt to muddy the waters. He didn’t have nearly this much power when I first met him… Don’t worry about my body. We’ve got him triangulated now with attention on me. Your comrade was pretty severely hurt and you’re down an arm. Beating him may be out of the question. Even subduing may be difficult without backup…”
As Fulgur dropped out of the glitch portal and held up the white coin, another Ion also stepped out of the glitch portal directly behind him. Leaning down, he lightly pressed a single finger to his lips and began working on patching Fulgur together however he could with makeshift bandages and pulses of purified energy. He kept the energy transfers to an absolute minimum for fear of RuinGrade detecting any spikes. But between Ion on the rubble and the chaotic might of the glitches RuinGrade wielded, Ion highly doubted that he would sense the minute flickers that he was applying.
“I’m trying to patch this guy up as best as I can, so if you have any idea’s get them out quick…”

Fulgur blinks as he receives a mental communication. Aaaah...so that's what it does...He looks up, sensing movement, and raises his shattered arm before spotting another Ion. The young navi's brow furrows in confusion, but he nods, watching as healer Ion begins to work on patching him up. Holding the coin, he tries sending out a mental message to both of them, wincing but doing his best to focus."H...Hello? Is this thing...working?I...want to...thank you for saving me...I'm sorry, I...wasn't very useful...But, I can..provide some information... I hope it can help. He seems awful protective...of that book...maybe we can use...it somehow..."He ceases the communication, giving Ion a grateful nod as his injuries continue healing. Hopefully he'll be in fighting shape soon.

"Evacuate the locals, Contact Green Tempest. Then we talk strategy."
As Kidd spoke, he started walking back towards Brawn, if he was still there.
