"Hey now, We don't know much about this place, just recently acquired it. Now then, if you wanna poke around, feel free. Cause me, or any of my men any harm, and...well,..."
Kidd's facial expression shifted from light-hearted to seriously intimidating in a split second.
"You're gonna regret it."
And as quickly as the shift occurred, it reoccurred.
"So, what's this item you're lookin' for? Maybe we could help you find it if we knew some details about it."

As the figure appeared where the goo had been, Revved eyed him cautiously, especially wary of the figure's golden spear.
"Sorry, no idea what you're talking about here either." Rev responded to the character's inquiry.
As the area appeared to be filled with static followed by a strange noise of sorts, Rev could feel the tension in the air...
'I've got a bad feeling about this guy...' he thought to himself.
And then Rev felt a strange force seize the area. He had never experienced an area-lock before, but this definitely didn't bring pleasant feelings to the fore...
With everyone else mostly replying in a reasonable tone, Rev hoped this figure would be more than a little reasonable...though something told him that the spear wasn't just equipped for its golden luster...

While everyone around him was wary of the dark Navi with a brimming spear, Dagger was amused.
He had only been here a while, and adventure has already begun! Even it it's just only behind the Base.
Decidedly, he tried to test the Navi who seems to be a huge threat, what with the atmospheric changes and all.
Dagger spun his finger 'round to manifest a small blue fireball, before hurling it slowly towards the Navi.
These flames wouldn't scald the body, but the mind that resides.
Dagger smiled, swaying his head left and right while humming, hearing a certain song-like noise play in his head.

Rosario continued drinking his tea. He made no sudden moves to the events that unfolded with the arrival of this Navi.
"I believe you guys are taking our situation too lightly. Clearly this unknown Navi has an intent to kill if it doesn't obtain what it is seeking. Should we fail to take action, the results could be deadly."

"Hmm. So I was right; I guess we do have a visitor.
Wait, where is Rosario?"
Russet appears back at the conference room, carrying a fallen Kaiser on his shoulders.
Now this close to the rest, Russet can see clearer beyond the disturbing frequencies that fill the air-- a Navi with a spear...
A Navi with a spear?
Russet could remember a similar figure from a long while earlier. Ion was battling the same kind of Navi.
Speaking of Ion, where is he?
One thing he doesn't notice is the drastic change in colour on the Navi.
Russet cannot see colours normally as others would.
He sees only red, green, and blue.
That's red and green for hostiles and non-, and blue for everything else.
However, he can see that the spear has more luster than before, however, he misinterprets it as a balanced energy influx.
Within the crowd, he also saw Rosario who... Continues to nonchalantly sip tea at the face of death.
"Seriously..."
Russet dropped Kaiser slowly on the floor, as he motioned back out of the room.
He stopped and ducked his head as the noise got to him and disturbed him for that split-second.
"Darn... What a headache."
Dagger then suddenly raised his right index finger as he thought of another inquiry for the dark Navi with a golden spear.
He clamped his hands as if in prayer, as he spoke.
"Oh! By the way, before we help you look for the item you're seeking... Which we still have no idea by the way...
We would like you to tell us your name!
Say, you're not a man of two souls, right? Or are you? Yes! Yes, you are!"
That came out of nowhere. Dagger made a foolish grin after that sudden, baseless exclamation.

"Actually."<AREA UNLOCKED> "You have no idea, right? Whatta waste of time."The seemingly hostile enemy seems to drop in colour, turning a pale shade before returning into colour - the noise of the world now turning crimson. The noised navigator returns to his instinct, deftly dodging the flameless-fireball, throwing his spear flipping into the air as he does so. "I am Static." The voice that returned was not the voice before, but one hushed by bit-compression and noisiness. He did not look happy. "The Unique Mystery Data that is here is mine, and mine alone. You are trespassing on official property."Landing from his sideways dodge, his spear returns to earth, seemingly magnetized to Static's grip. Now pointed towards the group, the noise above swirls and bends, lightning and thunder amongst the sky. The spear's tip pointed at his enemies. Meanwhile, the grey shade seemed to find itself flowing closer to Dagger, invisible and unreal, yet there(?) |

Heeding Rosario's words, Revved remained on guard...yet, at the same time, he knew that it was better to avoid suddenly engaging an unknown character head-on...contrary to Rev's nature.
Things almost appeared to get better for them...until that feeling Revved had was jabbed by Static's words...
"Wait...trespassing-? How long have you all been here...?" Rev asked, throwing the question out there for any of the others to answer...after-all
'...this guy mentioned Official business...are we really in trouble or...?'
Trailing off in his thoughts, Rev could tell things were about to get ugly quickly if something wasn't done...and anyone could tell from his pose with that spear!
But before that another question came to mind, that gnawed at him once Static mentioned 'official property'...
"If you don't mind me asking, which group are you a part of,Static...?" he questioned, honestly curious...

Fulgur glances at Rosario." I-I have to try to resolve this p-peacefully,sir.Unnecessary violence s-solves nothing." Tensing as Dagger tosses flame at the navi, his eyes widen as the navi seems to change color, then dodging it. He seemed different...
As the spear is pointed at them, his buster deploys, crackling warningly.Helmet unfolds, and he looks calmly at Static, that familiar prebattle feeling filling him and taking away the nervousness."Greetings, Static....I remember, you're that one navi...I'm sorry, but I don't know where that data has gone,and I don't think anyone else does..." As revved speaks he listens close,curious as well.

Desperado reaches the group, seeing this navi, Static, as he seems to drop color around him and move aside. An interesting ability, but until he knew the characteristics of it, it would be hard to say for sure what it did exactly. Placing a hand on Fulgur's shoulder, he gently moved him aside so he could enter the circle surrounding Static. Walking up to be mere inches from the spear the navi held, Desperado had at least heard anything that needed to be heard.
"I do. But unfortunately for you Static, it's you who is trespassing. This place was long abandoned before we, the INDF got here. Now if you'd like to bargin for this data, we can do that, but strolling into our territory making demands is no way to say please."
Desperado's voice was like it was during the briefing, stern and focused. Unlike his traditional demeanor, laid back or often bored as Kidd might have found it when he got back from Creamland. His eyes locked onto Static, looking right past his weapon which was held ever close to his body. Yet despite his confident stance and stern words, he made no hostile movements, his weapons still holstered by his side.

Dagger looks up as the sky got a lot cloudier, and lightning and thunder began to fill it.
Woah... Have I made him angry?
Suddenly, he looked down with glowing eyes just before Static's shadows could touch him.
He held his hand out and drew it out of the ground and onto his hands.
Humming gleely, he then... Tossed it back and forth on his hands like it was some sort of yarn ball.
"Hey, you. Didn't you carry that red Mystery Data with you when you escaped from Ion? I'm positive I saw you w--"
Russet suddenly appeared beside Dagger and spoke, before ultimately getting interrupted by Dagger's humming. He could see it too-- some sort of liquid-- No. Materialized shadow?
Well, whatever it is, Dagger playing with it in the middle of a conversation ticked him so bad, that he reached back for a bronze rifle and just shot at it with plasma. He wouldn't know if it had any effect, but just in case, he shot the rifle at most 10 more times, each getting closer and closer to Static.
Russet stopped before he could hit anything a meter close to him and Desperado.
He then flicked the rifle with a quick rotation, then slammed it on his back, it immediately sinking into the cream backpack-like figure that lay on his back.
He sighed and said:
"Sorry about that. As I was saying...
I'm positive you brought that red Mystery Data with you when you vanished, so you shouldn't even be looking for it here."
He has an impressive memory. That, and... He did see Ion and Static have a stand-off for a few moments before Ion swung his sword and Static, his Mettaur lackeys, and his Mystery Data, all vanished.
He saw it from the front door of the INDF while he was suddenly kicked out due to a system reset and Legion first came.

Static? Everyone else seems to recall this Navi by appearance, but I have no memory of such a formidable Navi.
While Desperado confronted this enemy, Rosario took his last sips of tea and then proceeded to de-materialize his cup and plate.
"I agree with Desperado. No matter what you are looking for, Static, you should always be using polite manners. We wish to not start any unnecessary fights. We do not have the time nor the patience to waste on people like you."
Rosario stood with his right hand in his pocket and a sly grin on his face.
Official business, huh? Oh well, I love when things get interesting. So long as this entertains me, I guess it won't be a waste.

Well isn't that interesting?
As the Navis of this new defense force share words with Static, the entire network's power-grid all but shuts down.... hard. As if in a wave, the network not only shuts down, but quickly finds itself cut off from the rest of the web on a hardware level.
Sharo ONB Base: Network Offline. Log on/off has been made impossible
By this point, all that remains is the flickering of one static-ridden screen,and the sound of a voice rising from the speakers that are mysteriously still active.
Allow me to be brief; I don't really care what that data is here for, it's now forfeit to every one of you.
A small box appears in the center of the area as all of the doors shut and lock, forcing every Navi to remain in a single central location.
Simply place the data here and no harm will come to any of you

I knew I should have walked out after Static released the network..
"Excuse me, but as far as I am concerned, I know of no data Static mentions. Russet's accusation is that Static has it, but if they are looking for it then that probably means it is somewhere in this area. Trying to keep us behind the base prevents us from searching for it, making your plan fruitless, does it not?"
Rosario didn't like when things get tedious. He wanted to get through this as quick as possible so that they can deal with Static.

"This is bad... We've been shut down. Without any power on, we'll perish in minutes.
Well! We hope you find what you're looking for, because you're sure as hell not finding it in a powerless area!"
"Waaah! Why did you do that?! I was befriending it!"
After talking to the... Sky?
After talking to the sky, Dagger wailed and began sobbing and sniffing like a kid.
"Wha-- What? Ugh... What have I put myself into now..." Russet facepalmed, before retaining his composure and turning back to the group.
"Where is Ion, anyway? If anyone could give us answers right now, it would be him."
Back at the now-dimmed conference room, Kaiser awoke to his own orange light, noticing the immense darkness that now envelops them; and his hurting body.
"Ggh... At least... He didn't hold back this time."
Kaiser then started walking towards the wall that faces outside the facility. With his lava-brimmed hands, he melted a hole on it...
And fell down, landing on the snow.
The snowsheets melted at his presence, dousing him cold.
Russet hears the poofing sound of snow at a distance. Basing on the direction it came from, he immediately knew.
"Oh-- He's awake. Excuse me."
He walked back towards the right side of the facility.
Dagger continued to sit on the snow, wiping his tears away.
"Sniff... W-what happened? A-are we all in trouble?

The static on the screen betrays the slight outline of a humanoid figure, made more obvious by a ghost of movement among the randomized black and white pixels; what appears to be an arm raising to what is likely to be his or her forehead.
...this is what happens when I divide my focus...
A barely audible sigh resounds, followed by a return to the voice's previous composure.
Alright then, I can always recover it later. For now...
The glowing green box in the center of the room expands substantially, now opening from the side rather than the top.
I believe that your name was Static, correct? I would very much like to speak with you in private. If you would kindly enter the previously alluded to box, it would be greatly appreciated.
The voice pauses for a moment before continuing.
Oh, and as for the rest of you; if our friend refuses my offer, then I would expect you to.... "persuade".... him to reconsider for the sake of returning this network to the internet as a whole.
The base quakes slightly, resounding with the sound of sliding, shifting metal in the darkness.
And I would hurry if I were you. There's no telling what's happening in this base with the power off.
