Grand Unveiling!

"Wh...What in the world was that?!!"

Alphonse stood there dumbstruck by the omnious phonemonon he witnessed, almost loosing his control over his leg, forcing him to fall down to the ground. "... ... ...I...", "Alphonse!! Get a hold of your self!!". swallowing his fear, he stood up, tidying his jacket and adjusting him gauntlet. "...I...*ahem*...Quite the view, wasn't is K", "Tell me about it...I've never seen such a thing in Netopia or anyother place!!".

Alphonse looked around stoildly over the scared navis, he sighed shortly and looked over the battle area. Pieces of glass like shards were everywhere, Alphonse suspected them of being the dragment of the lifeaura he saw being shattered by the female navi. Alphonse paused for a second, thinking about the female he just saw. Usually, he would've had some pleasant thoughts about any food female he saw, but his thoughts were pretty serious. ...That...Navi...She reminds me of...Maria".

Alphonse looked around for the available loots he could find, sending them straight to his PET. "Ready Alphonse?", "...Yea".

Leon was noticeably shaken by Soulman's anger. I... I'm sorry. You of all should know how bad I am I letting things go..."
"You two know each other!? What's going on here!" Illumina yelled at Leon. Boy did she hate being left in the dark.
"Yeah... we know each other... for over 7 years. But that isn't important right now, keep your head in the game or you might end up hurt."

Illumina watched as the trio launched the end-all attack against the Dark Heelnavi. She was about to cheer, when she suddenly heard the navi shout "DIE", and send Dimensionman flying. Then she turned back to where he had flown from.

She gagged, dropping her hammer and placing her hands over her mouth. "Oh... my god..."[/COLOR]
Leon jumped up off of his seat, almost throwing the PET into the distance as he did so. S-Soulman! No way! G-get up buddy... you're not gonna let something... like this...," Leon began to choke up. "G-goddamnit... you... you never change..."

As Soulman faded, a few tears fell for the death of his friend. He then thought of Wes, who would be even more upset than he, and more tears fell for his loss. And then the unimaginable happened.

Ayumi appeared.

Leon's jaw dropped, and he continued to cry. "They certaintly aren't making this easy..." he choked out. He watched as Ayumi used her ultimate ability, the one which had taken him three years to develop and perfect: Valkyrie Panic. He looked on as she fought against the Heelnavi, tearing through his attacks with what appeared to be ease. She finally reached him, with a large explosion... "What the hell!? An explosion!? She didn't..." But she did.

As Ayumi began to delete as well, she left behind a plea to Leon and words of wisdom for the male navi in front of them. "I'm sorry Ayumi... I'll do my best to let Illumina be her own person... and I'll do my best to protect your son. No, protect my grandchild."

A swarm of daisy petals whipped up around Illumina as she began to glow softly. Her colors change, and the hammer laying feet away from her changed to into her lance. "I'm glad I finally got to met you, Ayumi. I... I guess I know why Leon get so depressed sometimes now... you really are a beautiful person..." She paused for a moment to gather her thoughts. "I'll do my best to honor your memory... us electric breakers have to stick together. Good bye, and rest in peace..."

Leon fell back into his chair, openly upset and unwilling to move for the time being. Illumina kneeled on the netscape near where Ayumi and Soulman had last stood, and offered a prayer for their souls. She was also hoping that, should any traces of their souls still be there, she would be able to attract them and maybe even absorb their knowledge. Sadly, if she had somehow managed to pull it off, she certainly didn't feel it.

... A good time later...

"Well... I think it's about time we head out. No use staying in this place for now..." Leon said somewhat disappointed.
"Leon, I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to help them..."
"Don't be. Soulman had been living heartbroken for years, and he knew the risks of what he was doing. At least he can be together with her again... Anyways, jack out. We've got a bit of shopping to do before we head home."
"Alright..." Illumina replied, as an unfelt wind created a vortex of daisy petals around her, settling to the ground as little lightning bolt, leaving no trace of Illumina behind.

Kobo, being overwhelmed by the intense sight, sat down as he watched. Suddenly there was a force of energy and he got knocked up on his back. When he opend his eyes, his little smile returned as now, Kobo returns to normal. He gets up and begins wandering aimlessly.

Soon he left the sight of anyone involved, however anyone who took a thought of him may still feel his presence, no doubt he still lurks.

Capuchin's eyes began to tear up. Her face was holding back a sob. Her fists shake as she turns her head away from where Sr used to stand.

"D-dammit!" She immediatley slams her fists into the floor, "Soulman......you were....my leader...."

Her head went back to all that she went through with him. The good, bad, everything. The battles they fought, the missions they did, even the times they just chatted.

"How could someone like you perish like this...just like......GRAAAAAAAAAH!" She immdiatley slammed her fists into the floor again. "D-damn it all! Damn you Ayumi! Damn you Soulman! Why'd you have to do this?!" She felt a slight tear trickle down her face. "You guys were such a powerful group....how could you be finished off like that...I hate this."

"C-capuchin...." Aida softly said.

"......I......Im alright." The navi assured, "I just...I just need this to sink in....."

".....I-Im s-so sorry...." The sad voice of Aida sobbed out.

".....Please dont be sad..." Capuchin silentley said, "I cant stand to see you cry."

"I cant help it. They were our friends. And.....and....."

"Im alone again." Capuchin silentley muttered as she stood back up. "I cant stand this...Aida.....I.....I need to get out of here. I need to think."

"A-agreed."

Just before she dematerialised back intgo the PET, capuchin said silently, "What would you do in this situation....SonGoku?" And with those lasts words, Capuchin left.

(JACK OUT)

"....." Tenshi merely stared at the events, remaining silent as was his duty. He knew full well what had just happened and it tore at him. Yet as was his duty to the dead, and his respect for the living he remained silent.

After it was all over, Tenshi looked at voltman before nodding "I'll see you sometime soon little one, perhaps then we can fight together on better terms." Tenshi turned around, his wings swaying with the motion before he disappeared in a flutter of feathers.

"Lifeaura..... pathetic..... to be used by a darknavi...They don't know the meaning of the word life" Spitting Gaeherris disconnected, feeling very frustrated. Tenshi had gotten out in time, and the anti viral programs had just been activated but the PET itself still displayed the same message "YOU CANNOT LAST". Gaeherris sighed, at the problems of those who fought in the past, the present, and the inevitable future.

"No more cocktails?"

"...fancy that you should chime in when it's over, old man," Triggerman jeered cooly. "...What the hell were you doing? Bar-hopping in the hopes some cheap girl half your age takes some pity on you?"

"...you of anyone should know I don't give a damn about it anymore." Marlowe countered through gritted teeth.

Without a wrinkle in his expression, he reviewed the video data that Triggerman had recorded offhandedly in his absence. ...just a bunch of dying fellows. Once you've seen one... you've seen them all.

The puzzle didn't make sense, with the kind of pieces that could fit but didn't make a picture. Lady Luck had dealt her hand, but the dame was playing hard to get.

I'll have to look into this...

"Looks like I didn't miss much," the detective commented, his tenor glazed in the kind of ice that could chill passions and break hearts.

"...and now?" Triggerman inquired.

"I've got some more errands to run... you sitting stagnant here isn't going to serve a purpose."

"Fair enough, old timer." With a spin of the Forty-Five, he replaced his six chambered companion in his holster.

With a sweep of the slinger's arm, the Western Wind threw itself about Triggerman's poncho in a final cadence of movement. In a moment later, the slinger's form had faded into but poncho and hat, and in another, the spectre had vanished, as did the presence of the desert breeze.

Oberon quickly backed away and watched silently, not daring to interfere. He was speechless; swept up in the drama of what was happening before his eyes. Titania was merely puzzled, more so because of the sudden murmur she felt in Kazu's vital signs. Shock? Fear? Or just plain sadness?

Soulman... and Ayumi... my God.

So Kazu knew them. Oberon realized that this was Titania thinking for him. He realized that a tear was in his eye after watching the heroic Navi's passing.

They had stepped into something big. And Kazu was being dragged with them. "We really walked into something big this time," said Titania to Kazu. Her eyes were still locked on the scene, of course-- because Oberon's were. "If you were planning on escaping the NetBattling world, then I'm sincerely sorry... Kazu. No, us. We're sorry."

Those last words were spoken in Oberon's voice, and Titania made a note to herself to read up on Kazu's past. They knew about him and his deeds... but he wouldn't be offended if they dug a little deeper.

One by one, the Navis were vanishing. The drama was over. It was time to buckle down and do some training-- to prepare themselves to be worthy of succeeding Miyamoto 404.

Like a tiny blinking light, the two simultaneously noticed Kazu's intention of ejecting them from a neck, and simultaneously they nodded. Two pairs of iridescent wings appeared on Oberon's back, one wide and thin like the powerful spread of a bird of prey, the other taller, more delicate, and wrapped close around his body like a cloak. A bright shaft of light descended from above, and then with just the smallest movement, Oberon leapt into the sky, and dissolved into a cloud of light that quickly dissipated into the virtual skies.

That navi...overpowered Swing? AND the original Soulman? This must be the true power of Undernet navis. I feel...faint. Pianissimo said to himself, still in shock from the end of the battle. Dimensionman...don't let Swing die. An emotion Pianissimo had never before felt struck Pianissimo as he watched the scene. Dimensionman carrying the injured Swing away, Soulman's passing...and Ayumi's assault on the navi. Was it sadness? Or possibly shock. Never before had anything quite like this happened, not even for Rigel.

Pianissimo whispered one last time to the wind, not sure if Swing would be able to hear it or not...

"Swing...stay alive...and watch. Some day, I'll be worthy to fight alongside you."

The shadows gathered around Pianissimo, and all sound seemed to vanish from the area. The shadows dissipated, and Pianissimo was gone.

XIII had gone completely silent. He had just seen two navi who he had fought along side with moments before, be destroyed. And whats more, he hadn't been able to stop it at all.

"Hey, XIII" Kasumi's voice came in. "why don't you come back. Its been a long day. Please. I really don't think its going to help any if you stay there. Their not coming back, no matter how hard you try."

XIII remained silent, but nodded solemnly and dematerialized as he jacked out. muttered some words as he disappeared.
"I couldn't do anything this time either..."

<Annnnnd... CUT! Beautiful performance. It really seemed like you were fighting for your life.>

"That's because I WAS fighting for my life!" AniMay muttered angerly,"We diddn't even get that sunshine chip..."

<No, but there is a reward for sticking it out, so we at least get somthing.>

"Well, that will have to do. Jack me out I need a rest."

and with a flash of pink light, AniMay dissapeared into her PET.
