Soundman Volume 0

((You forgot the stun))
Regalia grunted, flecks of data bleeding out from the holes his foe had cut in him, and squirming around a little in the hole. "A little movement would be nice, Thomas."[color=5A6351][/color]

"Ah, but we used the Areagrab already, remember?"

"Try the DashAttack."[color=5A6351][/color] Regalia said over the private line, looking upward at the mecha before him. His breastplate blinked briefly, flashing in and out of existence for a split second as the GMO was replaced by the real thing. Regalia then paused.

"There you go, Regalia!" Thomas said, slotting the DashAttack in--

Regalia thrust his arm aloft, pointing it at the NAXAMech, and watching as his cane formed at his fingertips. With a grand old twist of his arm, the cane's body grew a set of four sleek-looking little thrusters, all of which activated and sent Regalia hurtling straight toward the NAXAMech at bodycheck velocity. Regalia closed his eyes and braced himself, intending to let his breastplate take the majority of the impact, and then waited.

Thump went his chest against something with the typical force of a DashAttack, and Regalia was active again. He let go of his cane, allowing the motion to carry it onward without him, and twisted, tryng to face the backside of the NAXAMech once again. The fingers of his gauntlet cracked and shuddered as the material bent and twisted, coming forward into wicked points, and Regalia reeled his arm back--

1: BREASTPLATE [20 HP Light Object Equip]
X: MASTERWORK: +33 HP/MHP to Breastplate
Breastplate Passive: Heal Regalia for 20

--Turn Splice--

2-day bump.

"Mission Control! Continuing the assault against the target! I repeat, continuing the ass-...What do you mean I should leave? After I've done so far in the name of NA-...Y-Yes sir, I'll keep my mouth shut."

TestMan felt rather cocky from the advantage he had over Regalia, failing to pay attention to the knight inside the pit as he began his rapid ascent with his rocket-powered cane. "I understand, Mission Con-EMERGENCY EVASION!" As numerous rocket boosters suddenly appeared out of the robot's front body, it was able to push off the giant robot in the last second to dodge the powerful attack, but it wasn't far enough to ward Regalia off as he successfully landed on top of it.

The knight dug its claws on top of the robot to get a grasp, but to his surprise, TestMan has come out of his cockpit and climbed up to the top. "I can't allow you to deal anymore damage to the precious equipment! Take this!" The navi quickly pulled out a futuristic pistol and fired two quick shots, both landing on Regalia. The breastplate broke as it withstood the attacks, but the shots had a powerful force behind it and knocked the knight nearly to the edge of the robot!

NA*AMECHA: 238 HP [Stun'd-no-more]
TestMan: 140 HP [Out of mecha!]

Regalia.EXE: 145 HP [1 Action left] [On top of NA*AMECHA]
Breastplate: DESTROYED!

((Where was the mech's stun in that post...?))

Although down just a little and irritated by the fact that TestMan had apparently just blown through his 53-HP breastplate, Regalia was determined to show him just how a real Knight dealt with things.

In this case, that meant hitting them very hard.

Regalia quickly stood up, brandishing his cane like a far deadlier implement, rage tinting his features and his fingertips. All at once he rushed forward, cane dragging behind him, and activated the last chip Thomas had sent. In an instant his cane swirled and thrashed about with light and energy, wind pouring off of it and pushing Regalia forward, toward TestMan.

As Regalia finally came into range of the pesky incompetent, he swung the sword. One quick, simple slash. But what it carried was far more complex; the wind whipped and whirled around the strike, and a gust pushed forward, strongly, against his target-- and everything else in front of him-- trying to blow the former off of the mech. Further, a thunderclap rang out as Regalia finished the swing, a bolt of lightning arced away from him towards TestMan, promising a rather electric encounter.

4: AirSword @ TestMan [100 + Slashing + Impact + Wide Attack + Gust; B Acc,]
X: CAPE: 20 Elec @ TestMan
X: Attempt to push TestMan off the mech with AirSword Gust

((I got special with this. Deal with it.))

"Mission Control, I have things under control. I repeat, I have things under control!!"

TestMan, once again, felt cockier than before when he holstered the pistol and began to approach Regalia. However, he failed to notice the ENTIRE process the knight was preparing with his sword as the wind slash passed right through the navi, sending him flying away from on top of the mech.

"Aiyyyyyy!"

The poor navi was badly wounded and lost all the momentum he had so far in the battle, lifelessly thudding on the ground as he watched Regalia standing on top of his robot. "M-Mission Control...I lost control over the mission. I repeat, I lost...You want me to just leave it? N-nonsense, I promised I would rather die than show the secret!" The navi pulled out a switch and nervously placed his thumb over the red button, making sure that Regalia could get a better look into it.

"You! I-I won't hesitate to selfdestruct the robot along with you if you don't cease and desist! I repeat! I won't hesitate!"

As favorable as the situation has been for Regalia...Things didn't start to look too good.

"You worthless incompetent."[color=5A6351][/color] Regalia muttered, shaking his head as he gazed down at TestMan. He raised his AirSword to point at the downed pilot. "I have in my possession a Burner chip. Had I wanted to kill you, you would be dead. I would have breached your defenses, and in an instant flooded you with more delete commands than your processing could comprehend."[color=5A6351][/color]

"Yeah, you tell him, Regalia! ...Wait, what?" Thomas seemed confused. "Why'd you spare him, then? He's been attacking US, and hey, free mech."

"Because from the very beginning I have said one thing and one thing only, Thomas. I told him I would teach him how a true Knight acts."[color=5A6351][/color] Regalia said, nodding his head toward TestMan. "This entire time your mission command-- your superiors-- have been yelling in your ear for you to return to your headquarters, and you have ignored them to fight an innocent bystander. On top of that, you have lost."[color=5A6351][/color]

Regalia seemed to pause, considering, before adding: "If you wish to complete the shaming of both you and the country you belong to by destroying your own mechanical monstrosity, then by all means you may. But do not think you are doing it out of nobility. Do not THINK that you are doing it as a man of honor! Do not THINK for even one second that you are in the right!"[color=5A6351][/color]

As if on cue, a blast of thunder leapt from Regalia's back, bolts hovering over TestMan. "So what shall it be? Dishonor and stupidity upon you and your house? Or shall you make a smarter decision than I believe you capable?"[color=5A6351][/color]

"Rrrg, b-be quiet...If it's for the name of NAXA, I'll do anything! Anything!" Even after Regalia's speech, TestMan was becoming seriously desperate as he was slowly putting the pressure onto the switch. But suddenly, a foot came down on the navi's arm, causing him to lose grip over the switch...

"Don't go around sullying our name because of your worthless zeal, TestMan."

A tall woman, dressed in a tight, neon blue jumpsuit stood over TestMan with her heels on top of the poor navi's wrist, giving it a quick twist before she continued on. She had a short black permed hair that was mostly covered up by a sleek, futuristic helmet that covered one of her eye with a visor of somesort. "If you're gonna off yourself, be my guest. I think the organization will run much smoother without your failures." Her bright blue eyes, as beautiful and pure as it looked, scornfully looked down at the navi she was standing above. "S-Sir, I-I mean Miss Zenith! Please, I did this for NAXA! I didn't mean anything els-OWOWOWOW" Another twist stopped TestMan in mid speech, but "Zenith" looked up towards the top of the robot to face Regalia.

"You there...Mind getting off our equipment? I think we have to talk about what my employee has done to you." As arrogant as she sounded, she seemed to be a bit more straight forward when she spoke with Regalia, still keeping a firm lock over the helplessly wounded TestMan...

"On the condition that you cease hiding your HP value, I shall."[color=5A6351][/color] Regalia nodded, stepping back a bit before leaping off the mecha, flying through the air and landing just on the edge of the normal terrain near the duo. "It is not my desire to attack you; I merely believe that such a thing is impolite."[color=5A6351][/color] He explained, summoning his cane and leaning on its' weight.

"Ah, finally, someone with a cool head!" Thomas exclaimed, his viewscreen popping up next to Regalia. "I'm Regalia's operator, Thomas."

"Impolite? You sure make some weird demands...Demands you don't keep." said Zenith as she watched Regalia dropped down from the robot before she met his demand. "Doesn't matter. You did as I asked and I'll do as you asked. Simple." She immediately cleared up the numeral protection she had up on her self, not even giving it a second though, and continued on with her talk...till Thomas appeared to interrupt.

"...Pleased to meet. Zenith.EXE." She replied back to Thomas with her arms crossed.

Zenith didn't bother giving a proper introduction towards Regalia, since one introduction was more than enough for her, and finally continued on. "This worthless testdummy caused you some trouble...Not too much trouble, from the look of it." TestMan had his heads lowered down to the ground, being dead silent the moment Zenith talked. "I'm sure he learned a lesson or two from you, but sadly, that won't be enough for him...Here's some compensation for what he did." The navi pulled out a data crystal and threw it towards Regalia without warning, quickly leaning down to pull up TestMan by his cuffs.

"Anything else you want to clear up? I'm rather busy and would like to make the best of today, rather than taking care of some incompetent navis..."

" *Gulp*..."

Regalia caught the data crystal with a hand, then transmitted its' contents to the PET.

"No, that shall be fine. As I told him, I never desired to fight him to begin with."[color=5A6351][/color] Regalia said, nodding. He then turned to wander off. "Good day, miss Zenith. Please take better care of your subjects in the future."[color=5A6351][/color]

Thomas paused for a moment, looking between Zenith, her HP value, and Regalia, then shrugged. "Have a nice day, Zenith." His window said, before turning to follow Regalia.

BATTLE 5: SUCCESS!

A little while later, Regalia disappeared from the network in a beam of light.
