Tonight I dine on turtle soup...

Nachahmen bit his lip in frustration. "Grr... This isn't working."

"Maybe we should back off for a bit. This could be getting risky." Zanzo said, frowning a bit.

"No! Things aren't going so well, but we've still got an opportunity to strike, and I intend to take it." Nac pointed to the seemingly paralyzed navi. "Go hard or go home, right? I don't think Moonlight would've backed down at this point, so I sure ain't!"

Zanzo paused for a moment. Master... he thought to himself. If I'm going to reach his level, I can't be shaken by battles such as these... His composure regained, he pulled out two chips before slotting them in.

Streams of data formed around Nachahmen before seeping into him. "Alright..." his voice echoed softly as his body was consumed by darkness, turning his entire body to an inky black. The shadowy figure then drove a hand into his sash, pulling out a medium-sized, somewhat curved blade. At the same time, he drove another hand into his neck, pulling out a long tattered scarf, which began to flow with the wind. Nachahmen's voice reverberated as he spoke, as though a deeper-toned voice were speaking in unison with him. "ALL!" he let out, holding his blade in his left hand as he slid it onto his right arm. "OR!" as he pressed the blade in. And finally, "NOTHING!!" as he pulled the blade back, running it across his arm and spilling dark liquids into the air.

However, the ink-like material didn't fall. Rather, it began to form into what appeared to be a clone of Nachahmen in his current form. Pointing their blades at the red-robed navi, they uttered but a single word as the faded into nothingness.

"Perish...""Perish..."

Then, lunging out from the edges of the young navi's shadow, the two navis came up in a rising slash, one fading away before his attack could finish. But the one who remained wasn't finished, as he then floated roughly between the golem's neck and his master. The dark navi curled his body in, lining the blade up to the two targets. A gust of wind rolling by, Nachahmen spun as he thrust the blade out before pulling it along, whirling with slashes against the two in the process. Shortly after, another gust of wind blew up, launching the black figure into the air where he then hovered silently, his scarf disintegrating into the air...

"Hubris, pick that rock up and throw it!!"

With a vibrating roar, the golem easily picked up one of the rocks and threw it straight towards Rossum in a frighting speed. The other golem grabbed onto the rock in the last second, preventing and damage onto it, but it only left Karel completely open for Nachahmen's attack! receiving a direct slash right up against his back, Karel couldn't do anything as his body was is a full lock, "Yo-You bastard!" The navi focused all his strength into a single punch, but it was simply deflected by one of Nachahmen's defenses.

The black navi didn't stop his attack as he began to twirl around with his blade, laying one more hit to Karel and pushing it into a critical state...and something clicked. Just before it could deliver the final blow, the golem's hand blocked the final attack and punched straight through Nachahmen, literally! The defenses was shattered easily with a straight punch and the navi was fortunately safe due to its shadowy body. However, even when it saw that his attack was ineffective, the golem swung his arm through Nachahmen several times like a mad-man. "*cough cough*...Oh...Oh man..Not good" The two golem masters uttered the same words as they saw Rossum became blindly enraged and attacking everything in its way, including the windbox and the remotebit. Hubris and Elijah slowly backed away from where they stood and began to approach Nachahmen. "Thi, this isn't good mister! Karel lost control over Rossum, and that golem isn't going to stop until everything is destroyed!"

Nachahmen flew back as the darkness surrounding him began to fade. Using the winds about him, he trusted even further away as he evaluated the situation. "Hey kid! I can't say much for your buddy there, but if you were thinkin' of runnin', now's the time to do it! Otherwise, you're going down just like he is!" Nac then turned his attention to the other pair. "We're gonna win this, right? Well I'm running out of moves, so I could really use some help!"

The slender navi came to a slow stop as he approached what he felt was a safe distance, his body becomming surrounded by a film of blue energy as some of the damaged data among his body repaired and reset. Orange energy wrapped around Nachahmen's left arm, causing a small disc of energy to form in front of him. His defenses repaired, he called out to Zanzo.

"Hey, I need some ranged attacks now." he said.

"We're running tight, but I'm on it." Zanzo replied, slotting in a trio of chips. As data reached Nac, the sword he was wielding disintegrated as his hands set ablaze.

I'm sparing you for now, kid. But if you get in the way, you'll be an easy delete... Nachahmen thought to himself as he pulled his arms out and back. The flames began to intensify as winds fanned them. Then, he thust his arms forward before curving them in, lauching a wave of flames torward the golem's lower-body. Afterward, with some cinders left, Nac hummed as he pressed his wrists together, the flames focusing in the air between his hands as he pulled his wrists into his solar-plexus. "HA!" he exhaled as he pushed his hands ahead, firing a burning orb toward the the golem lower-body once more.

The flames gone, a small corn-like projectile appeared in Nachahmen's right hand. Grasping it tight, winds began to whirl furiously around his arm. Reeling his arm back, the pink-clothed navi took aim at the golem's feet. Thrusting forward, gales launched the corn as it left his hand, sending them in the direction of his intended target...

Taking heed of Elijah's advise, Nachahmen quickly dashed away from Rossum, who was literally breaking everything that was in its way. Easily smashing through the rocks and shattering a few panels beneath him, the enraged golem was literally blinded by its own violent actions. After gaining a good distance from Rossum, the navi began to fire as many ranged attacks at the golem, hoping to avoid any sort of damage. All of the attacks made its mark, but only made the golem even more furious. After realizing where Nachahmen was, it began to run as fast as it could towards the navi with its shoulder forward for a tackle. It was surprisingly fast despite its large stature, but it was easily avoided when its pathway of obvious due to its long distance.

Hubris and Elijah on the other hand...They were completely shaken with Rossum's rage along with the fear was harming Karel to deletion!

Nachahmen paused for a moment, considering his options. Damn... That golem is just too fast to get away from. I guess there's not much else to do but to try and separate the lil' bugger from him... He sighed as he swayed back a bit. Then, thrusting his arms back, the slender navi shot through the air on a path toward the golem's shoulder, the red-robed navi being his target. As he approached, he began to dart about the air with an array of zigs and zags as he twirled about, trying to feign the golem into attacking. Believing to see an opportunity, Nachahmen thrust toward Karel, spiraling through the air with his arms extended.

"Come with me if you want to live!" Nac exclaimed, shutting his arms closed across his chest as he flew by, attempting to grab the young navi in a hug. Regardless, the sleek navi turned angles and began his next target, the girl and her golem. Gales blowing behind him, Nachahmen soared through the air as he tried to rush onward. Approaching the vicinity of Hubris, he flew around the golem, attempting to land on the shoulder opposite its master. He released his grip, not quite sure if he was even dropping anything as he eyed the enraged creature ahead.

"Elijah... It's about time I cut the arrogant crap." Nac began. "I don't think I'm going to be able to take this guy alone, even with Zanzo's operating. If we don't work together, Rossum's going to tear this section of the net apart. I hate to admit this... But I really do need your help beating him."

The purple-haired navi then sighed. "Will you help?" he asked...

((Bump.))

Nachahmen moved in an incredible speed, darting side to side to confuse the berserker golem. Rossum tried to catch the navi, swinging its arm to swat it down, but it was useless and only left it self and Karel wide open! Taking this opportunity, Nachahmen dashed in to grab onto Karel, which he was able to do so successfully! However, before he was about to retreat, Rossum swung its arm and locked Nachahmen into a powerful grip, causing the navi to drop the wounded Karel straight into the ground. The golem raised his other hand to get a even stronger lock on his enemy, but Nachahmen created a burst of wind through his ability and freed himself, finally able to flee away with Karel.

As soon as Nachahmen landed besides his ally, Elijah jumped out down from her golem and began to treat Karel's serious injuries. "S-Stupid Karel." Stuttering as her eye was tear-filled. "That's why I never wanted this fight in the first place!" Karel only looked up at Elijah with grieving expression and turned towards Nachahmen, who was asking for his help. "...Fine. But because of you, I can't even stand up straight..." Pointing towards Rossum, as he barely lifted his body up, he began to murmur a small chant to himself. But in the middle of it, he turned towards Nachahmen with a dull expression. "Guard me while I finish this chant. That incomplete piece of crap of golem won't be able to move without Elijah, but mine can...of course, with few minus in his performance. Anyhow... ... ... Good Luck."

"Stall 'im eh?" Nachahmen replied with a grin. "Yeah, I think I can do that much, at least." The purple-haired navi then lifted off thr ground with a twirl, calling out to his operator. "Oi, Zanzo. What've we got left?" he asked.

"Not much, I'm afraid." Replied Zanzo. "A pair of Thunder1s, a VariTails1, RageClaw1, Guard1 and another Wind."

"Pretty dry... Toss in the claw and wind. I'll do the rest from there." Nac responded.

Zanzo slotted in the pair accordingly, and streams of data made their way to the somewhat effeminate navi. Some streams wrapped around his hands, forming sharp claws at his fingertips, while others began to wind about before him, forming a small tornado. Nachahmen pointed to the red-robed Karel and the tornado whirled over accordingly before sending forth gales in the direction of Nac and the enraged Rossum. The winds carrying him as he flew, the slender navi rushed toward the golem.

Nachahmen flung his arms out to his sides as he soared through the air, bearing his claws as he approached the stone creature. Coming near the chest, the sleek navi twirled clockwise as he swiped with his left hand. Then, he darted up near the shoulder before thrusting himself toward its feet. With a vertical flip this time, he came down upon the golem's lower-body with a slash from his right.

"How's that, ya hardhead?!"Nac exclaimed. Pulling back a bit, he cocked his arms back as winds began to whirl in front of him. Forming them into a small orb, the purple-haired navi pushed his arms forward, sending the winds toward the stone creature in an attempt to keep it at bay...

((Four days so far, Goroke...))

The tornado was placed to be a safe defense for the chanting Karel, as it provided as a shield and a way to ward off the berserked golem. "This should be good enough..." He continued his chant, but there wasn't any visible difference in Rossum's movement. "Hold on! Don't move too much or the bandage will get too loose!" Elijah was fully concentrated on mending Karel's wounds, and nothing else more.

Nachahmen rushed in with his rageclaw in hands and slowly began chip off the bodies of the golem. Rossum tried to grab hold of the navi again, but it was nothing but a wasted effort as Nachahmen was far too agile for his own good. In the end, the navi successfully distracted the golem long enough for Karel to finish his chant. "RETURN TO THE PLACE OF WHENCE YOU CAME!" The summoner's fingers had a orange glow and immediately shot towards Rossum in a form of an orb. Nachahmen was able to side with Karel when the orb dipped into the Golem's torso.

There was an awkward silence in the battle, as the enraged golem was suddenly subdued and halted from where it stood. After a few seconds, there was a wave of cracks that shrouded the golem from head to toe and shattered into harmless dusts!

...

Everything was taken care of: leaving the strange world and back to the normal net, Karel's wound fully taken care of and resting on Hubris' shoulder, and nothing more insane going on. While Karel quickly fell asleep, Elijah came down to thank Nachahmen. "I'm so sorry that I had to drag you into this...Please take this as a way of me saying thanks, Mister." Forcing the reward onto Nachahmen's hands, the navi quickly leapt onto her golem and began to travel northwards. "LET'S MEET AGAIN LATER!"

Nachahmen waved the group goodbye as they left, slowly returning to his normal state.

"That was one hell of a battle, Nac. What's say we get out of here and go introduce you to my buds from Netopia?" Zanzo asked.

Nachahmen nodded.

"...The silent treatment, eh?"

Nac shrugged.

"Heh, alright then. We've been through a lot, so we'll jack out for now."

And with that, the purple navi vanished in a royal flash...
