Despite having a hot foot (or two), Rhea's swordsmanship was on full display, easily cleaving the mole ghost despite an attempt to evade them. However, instead of the obvious retaliation route, it instead pointed angry shovels at the Navi pair, its very color began to change from the inexplicable purple to a more sense making reddish-brown.. The fog strangely began to thicken as a result of this, though any boost to its evasion from it was negated by the fact that, well, it was reddish-brown, and not exactly blending in with the scenery.
Unfortunately, however, the color change might not have been for show, as it began twirling its digging tools as if they were nothing. It stabbed the red hot earth with them, creating a pair of lava waves that rushed Eternalis and Rhea; again, the latter's swift movements saved her day as she sidestepped, but the normally watery Navi was unable to avoid the lava burst.
And since it was contractually obligated to do, it banged a shovel on its stomach, causing its slot machine belly to spin once more...Mushy times three. The area glowed, as the ground became much more pleasant to walk on, becoming lush green grass.

Eternalis' silvery hair blew slightly in an unbidden wind, partly covering up his eyes in the breeze. His energy blade was held with slight apprehension, since the attack the Momograve used was completely unexpected. From its deep purple saturation to a more-familiar red-hued brown. His eyes grew wide as he saw the striking similarity: the mustachioed moles from earlier. They then narrowed down, as he saw the change in the ground around him. Scalding lava burned his outer skin, as the terrain around him exploded by the sudden shift. Grassy mounds began to pop up rapidly around his burnt feet (though how the lava burnt his watery exterior, he'd ignored) and cover the field with lush greenery. It was a stark change, but he wasn't perturbed in the slightest. A silent request to the operator through private channels, and he was ready once more.
Harke had noticed the rather strange changes in Eternalis' character, but it wasn't like his insanity episodes (which have lately become more frequent), rather, he seemed to have a more calm and collected attitude. Seeing the similarity to Rhea, whom he had seen enough to gather enough observations, he wondered if there was something in it. Scrambling around PET settings, he continued his search for the answer to his question as he slotted in a single chip to Eternalis. His eyes grew wide when the words from the screen stared back at his face, and a single eyebrow was raised in questioning.
Meanwhile, back in the NetVegas network, Eternalis briefed Rhea on his plans. "Rhea, I shall move forward to defeat the Momograve. Stay back and raise defenses, and I shall return posthaste." Then, he steeled himself for one last push. His sparkling purple eyes focused with silent fervor as both of his hands gripped his blade, trying to steady it. After a while, he had calmed himself down to a slow-consciousness state, and he started a small incantation. The blade of his creation pulsed in its blue state, before slowly shifting its colors. Emerald sheen glowed and reflected off of Eternalis' purple face as his eyes closed, his mind in a deep otherworldly fugue. This being was particularly hard to summon. Fortunately, however, his efforts were to be repaid, as the power of a being was proportional to its rank of difficulty.
"I call upon thee, Bird of Birth and Life. Bring back order, destroy all strife."
The bright green blade was thrust to the sky, and from its top, a small entity began to emerge. Unfurling itself outwards, quite similar to a flower in preparation to bloom. Small feathery wings, weak and crumpled, appeared first, and the tiny little head, with its beak came second. The green-feathered baby bird opened its eyes rather hesitantly, and blinked a few times. The last of the bird to appear was a large feather pointing up from its head, perhaps a symbol of something. The bird jumped off the tip of the blade, and fluttered down to an offered hand. Its head cocked to the side, its small field of vision focused on Eternalis' face. Again, the only thing that was required was the exchange of glances, and the bird understood its orders.
Its scrawny little legs hopped around to face the Momograve, and it gave a little tweet of determination. Crouching slightly, it took off as Eternalis watched on. Fluttering its tiny little wings, the bird looked as innocent as can be, but it would soon shatter everyone's expectations. After it reached the apex of its small flight, it gave a screech most unexpected of it. The screech was incredibly loud, and highly-pitched. Then, the bird started to grow. Its size increased at an accelerated rate, its presence expanded rapidly. Flapping its great wings, it created a low breeze that felt pleasantly cooling to those on the ground. After a few moments, when it was as large as the dragons called before it, it stopped its rampant growth, and suddenly executed a dive towards the ground.
Harke read the information spread across his screen, a smorgasbord of interesting knowledge unknown to him before. His mouth was about to read it aloud, but he realized his current setting wasn't exactly accommodating, so he opted for simple comprehension instead. "A Soul Cross is a state of being where a Navi is capable of drawing upon friendly experiences with another Navi, along with combat data, if applicable. Exactly how this state is achieved is currently unknown, but it has been shown to strengthen greatly with the application of further repeated experiences of the same Navi pair," his mind read aloud to itself.
The magnificent bird's dive towards the ground was displayed as if the creature was headed for a completely intentional collision course with terra firma. As the bird came within an inch of solid ground, it transformed its body into green data packets, which rammed themselves into the ground with such powerful force that small tremors were felt on Eternalis' greaves. At first, there seemed to be no consequences of the bird's sudden action, but to the keenest observer, small cracks began to form in the ground. These cracks began to glow with a hidden emerald gleam, the same as the sword Eternalis now held. His eyes refocused on the Momograve as his vocal processes announced another utterance.
"Death is furthest- but for the believer, Inescapable Night Reaver."
The Navi wasn't going to stick around too long to see his little avian fellow's intent, as he leapt into the air towards the Momograve. Suddenly, his image flickered, and he disappeared off to nowhere. Shortly after, Eternalis rematerialized smack in front of the gigantic Momogra, and brandished his now-black blade to his right. The wind blew again. Lifting his head so that his eyes met the Momograve's, he gave the brown ghost a piercing glare before his eyelids shut themselves. Then, his hand flew around in a frenzy of arcing slashes, most of them feints of deception, with only two real blows. Behind him, the Bird of Birth and Life's attack started, pillars of green light emerging from the ground to deliver powerful retribution to all in their way. As it did so, Eternalis leapt back to meet Rhea, where he stood with a defensive posture, ready to evade any sudden attacks.

Rhea briefly nodded at the busting partner, suddenly feeling as if he had understood her intentions from the beginning. They were synchronizing so well that it was starting to seem abnormal. "Something the matter, Rhea? What do you need?" Camillia noted, realizing that Rhea wasn't acting normally. "Eternalis is acting strangely. Do you know why?" Rhea murmured, adjusting the position of the curseshield as she proceeded to move towards the now-purple Aqua? Navi. "Um, lemme check." as the audio transmission reached that point, Rhea had positioned herself between the busting partner and the Momograve.
The petite Navi had observed how familiar the moves were, but she did not question until now. Could it be possible that Eternalis was copying her... ? "Uh, hey Rhea. Looks like he's turned into you!" Camillia said cheerfully, almost wanting to laugh. The purple headed swordswoman was not amused. "Well, er, I think maybe your friendship's messing something with your data, or something. It's quite possible that you can copy Eternalis too."
Rhea suddenly got a weird mental image, and shoved it out of her head.
Moving in to defend Eternalis from Momograve, the curseshield raised high after the busting partner's swordplaying display. Regardless of the results, she verbally complimented Eternalis on his effort. "You do well with those moveset, Eternalis," Rhea said in her normal, deadpan tone, before looking at the gigantic ghostly mole straight in the eye.
Then the purple Navi visibly slumped behind the curseshield, looking exhausted and out of commission; was the network too tough for the greenhorn navi after all? "...Rhea?" Camillia said, her tone getting slightly worried and urgent. "Run for it Rhea, run if you can't handle this," she added again, after only a brief pause with no response from Rhea.
Rhea knew better than to respond, however. Her aim was still to get the Momograve to take a whack at her. At least to make the shield work. Feigning weakness was a good way to lure an opponent-- and she made full use of it at the moment (even adding a few staggers for it to be realistic.)
Her next action if the plan works, however, was obvious. The feint gave her enough time to add extra strength into her next battlechip, though she didn't know what that might be on Camillia's mind at the moment. Rhea generated an energy blade, looking ready to parry any attacks coming at her way while moving to keep herself between Eternalis and the giant mole virus.
Summary of actions:
1) Tactical Movement - Guard-up defending Eternalis - Curseshield1 (Blocks 1 attack, charges opponent 160DMG)
2) Lull of battle - Gravity, Strengthen 20 - Momograve
3) Parried Charge - 2-hit shield, 1 movement action - Move with Eternalis to defend

As Eternalis began to summon birds to execute an attack normally performed by a different kingdom, the mole that was the likely target of it suddenly moved back underground, allowing it to avoid a majority of attacks. However, hazardous, ground-based powder wasn't the majority of attacks, moving directly into the hole in order to inflict speecy, spicy damage. As the grass assault did its thing, the crossed Navi delivered the finishing blows...had the Momograve been at the surface. But when it's underground, it's much harder to hit with a sword.
Both Navis then teamed up, with Rhea prepared to block whatever came their way as she lured in their mutual foe. And something did come their way, as the mole ghost surfaced, dug into the surface, and creating a gigantic wave of grass that moved their way. Unfortunately, the attack seemed to ignore the Sword Navi's various defenses, hammering both with a Wood-element assault, like...some kind of gigantic wooden hammer. With grass.
And since no one could forget it, Momograve smacked itself to trigger a new reel spin. This time, three Weathers. The ground suddenly became colder, as in a flash, the entire field of grass became a plain of snow...

Receiving the brunt of the Momograve's attack, Eternalis did not manage to make his life any easier on himself. The massive wave of green crashed down to meet his body, and he was flung a good way across the floor. His armored back grazed the floor, friction slowing him to a pain-filled stop. His face was now grazed with a dirt smudge here and a bruise there. His left eye was squinted as he bore the pain with determination. This wasn't going down very well. Worse, his recovery processes seem to have locked themselves up, causing him to feel pain that he hadn't felt before. This is what it's like.... he thought, before being interrupted by a fit of coughing. The sounds came from a newly-formed hole in his head, where a normal person's mouth cavity would be.
....to stare Death in the eye.
The coughing subsided for a bit, but the gaping cavity remained, sitting there and generally looking very unpleasant, somewhat like a slack jaw that refused to close. He jammed his energy blade into the ground to hoist himself up, his shoulders sagging beside him in protest. It took him a while to compose himself from the disorientation that the Momograve's latest attack brought him. Hatred for the monster clouded his vision for a second as he attempted to restrain himself from breaking out in another fit. He failed, doubling over with sword in hand as a torrent of purple ooze flowed freely from his mouth, his body shivering in spasms from the sudden expulsion. It ended quickly, but not without a few coughs to punctuate its end. The coughs were accompanied by white clouds of frosty breath, the battlefield now a vast expanse of fluffy white snow.
"Harke..." Eternalis began, still weak from the vomiting.
By now, Harke's face was in alarm. His PET was the same, showing signs of critical integrity from Eternalis' systems, a rare sight, since before, the Navi's recovery processes ensured his health stayed well above this level. "Et! You all right?"
"....Windracket."
Harke gawked in disbelief. A situation like this was not conducive to fighting at all. "No! I'm jacking you out!" he barked, his hand reaching for the escape routine. The finger stabbed at the touchscreen multiple times, each attempt foiled by the button's denial. Red light. Red light. Red light.
"....no...Rhea. Still... standing."
Harke's eyes scanned the battlefield, and sure enough, there was Eternalis' partner, Rhea. He hadn't got a good look at her before, and now was a good time. Short (scratch that, dwarf) of a girl, flowing silvery purple hair, clad in full-body purple armor. Kind of a weird choice for a partner, but he brushed that off to the side. His mind deliberated. By the effects of the Soul Cross he had observed, this Rhea was obviously a close enough friend of Eternalis's. Enough to make him sacrifice himself for her. A wry smile crossed his face as he reached for a chip, and slotted it in. He figured that the Emergency Jack-Out procedure would kick in anyhow, and that Eternalis would be able to handle it.
"Windracket... slot in."
Back in the network, Eternalis had recovered somewhat, having patched up most of the damage he'd taken externally. His internals were still wrecked, but the patch job was enough to keep him going at a steady rate. Mind focused, he held the sword at ready, and shot off towards the Momograve. His movements were erratic, off from side to side, a few staggering feints added to match, with some intentional, some not. Reaching the Momograve, he dug his greaves into the soft slush. Sword held horizontally, he muttered a small incantation as it turned a hazy grey. A cloudy gale began to encircle it, throwing up the wielder's hair in its blows. His slack jaw lifted itself up to close the open mouth and form a rather wide, maybe even creepy, grin.
"Now feel my pain, no shards of you shall remain..." he whispered, the mouth unmoving, as the whisper did not come from it.
The sword was thrown in a large arc, left to right, throwing up a small whirlwind of snow, slush and frost. The large winds that resulted from the attack blew him back, possibly avoiding any further attacks by the Momograve. A small backflip later, and he was back on solid ground, perhaps a flawless landing if not for the stagger afterwards. His sword was still standing at the ready, prepared to deliver a sound blow to any giant mole monster that happened to cross its path.

"!!" Rhea gave a yelp of surprise when the shockwave bypassed her thick defenses, sending her skidding across the grass-- just before it turned into a field of snow. Rhea slowly got up from the mess, then immediately standing and steadied herself for the next plan of attack. Then she saw Eternalis.
Her comrade was in trouble.
Almost as if fueled by rage that she should not possess, her expression turned slightly sour as she debated on what to do next. She was entirely powerless against the Momograve, but even if she lost and was defeated, she would give it her all. Perhaps it was an attempt to preserve this brief friendship she held with her busting partner.
Friendship?
"Rhea!" Camillia choked, not knowing what to do. "Calm down. I am fine." Rhea whispered, checking her sword data. It was still existent. Seeing the snow on the ground, she knew that it would prove to be disadvantageous if she tried dodging with all the snow... Unless she turned into an aqua-based Navi, like Eternalis.
Wait. Like him?
Rhea stared briefly at the struggling partner, seeing how he had taken form a similar base-- sort of like a replica of herself. She wondered if she could do the same... And at that thought, her wishes seem to came true.
The flash came and went in the speed of light, revealing Rhea-- but not Rhea. Her skin seemed to pale (even more so than before), and in her place stood an aquatic-based humanoid. Camillia blinked, staring at the form, before pushing random buttons to identify the change. "Rhea EternalisCross. Activate." the now blue, petite Navi announced, almost as if as an introductory speech to the people on the battlefield.
"I would love to get a shot at you, o' Gigantic Mole," Rhea muttered, the sword-- now glowing blue-ish white from an unknown substance flowing from her arm generators. It seemed as if the generators were liquid-cooled now, by a glowing blue substance, which seemed to also bathe the sword in it's brightness as well.
It made the energy blade looks like it was buffed with watery-elements.
"Round two to meet Death for you, Momograve," Rhea announced, charging towards the enemy with all her might, her aqua-imbued senses now letting her practically glide through the snow like it was normal terrain for her. She turned gracefully in front of the ghostly gigantic figure, delivering a quick stroke of her blade before tumbling sideways in an attempt to dodge any potential dangers coming at her way.
Summary of actions:
1) Rhea EternalisCross (Aqua/Recover)
Passive) Endow: H2O - Imbue Aqua to Sword
2) Sword [4/6]- 80DMG, Slashing - Momograve
3) Dodge (No penalty from snow terrain - Aqua)

"I would love to get a shot at you, o' Gigantic Mole," Rhea muttered, the sword-- now glowing blue-ish white from an unknown substance flowing from her arm generators. It seemed as if the generators were liquid-cooled now, by a glowing blue substance, which seemed to also bathe the sword in it's brightness as well.
It made the energy blade looks like it was buffed with watery-elements.
"Round two to meet Death for you, Momograve," Rhea announced, charging towards the enemy with all her might, her aqua-imbued senses now letting her practically glide through the snow like it was normal terrain for her. She turned gracefully in front of the ghostly gigantic figure, delivering a quick stroke of her blade before tumbling sideways in an attempt to dodge any potential dangers coming at her way.
Summary of actions:
1) Rhea EternalisCross (Aqua/Recover)
Passive) Endow: H2O - Imbue Aqua to Sword
2) Sword [4/6]- 80DMG, Slashing - Momograve
3) Dodge (No penalty from snow terrain - Aqua)

As Rhea began to summon the powers of her partner, Eternalis began to rush Momograve, WindRacket as hand. However, the mole ghost managed to get backwards in time, avoiding the attack. However, it did not avoid the gust of wind the racket had created, causing it to fly backwards, only stopping when it managed to dig both shovels into the ground.
That would prove to be its final mistake.
Having had enough of this battle, both Navis raced along the terrain, the power of the other each infused into the Swords they wielding.
Purple. The power of the blade.
Blue. The power of the stream.
The two arrived at their common destination at the same time, allowing them to move and cut THROUGH the spirit, as the energies from their weapons created trails, and causing an X to form with Momograve at the center. At that moment, everything seemed to come to a standstill; both Navis had landed, looking back at the ghost to see if it was finally going to fall. Momograve was paralyzed, its HP depleted. The snow was the sole indicator that time hadn't frozen, with light occasionally shimmering off of it.
But the damage had been done. Writhing in agony, blue flames began to cover the malevolent spirit, being rapidly unable to maintain its present form. And with an explosion of spiritual energy, the dreaded Momograve came to an end. The four ghostly Momogra appeared where it had, and promptly followed the example of their larger form. However, one mole phantom that had managed to keep its own shovel managed to point it angrily at the Navi pair as it faded from existence...
With no being to draw power from, the translucent shovels burst into blue fire of their own, eventually leaving only memories of the previous battle, in the form of various remnant data...
Eternalis (RheaCross): 25 HP
Rhea (EternalisCross): 45 HP (Strengthen 20)
Momograve: SENT TO THE DEPTHS

The blue navi promptly began to sit on the snowy grounds, staring at the giant Momograve as it disappeared. This was one of the nerve-wrecking battles ever-- and her face reflected what her operator's face, at the same time. But shaking out of her stupor, Rhea stood, trudging easily through the piles of snow towards Eternalis to help the impromptu sword Navi up. "It is over," she said, almost happily with hands outstretched. Just as Rhea analyzed her systems on the damage done, Camillia blasted through her audio systems to speak to Eternalis.
"Hey, Eternalis, right? You're pretty good at this busting stuff and uh thanks for looking after Rhea and um uh-"
Cue coughing and clearing of throat.
"H-Hi! I'm Camillia Ranbard," she started uneasily, pushing a button to get visual feed to show on Rhea's left-arm generator. Turned out that it was more than a generator-- a monitor screen was plastered to it, as well. "U-uh, your operator is Harke, right? Um, I hope we get to be friends! ... No wait... I don't even know him yet... This might be dangerous..."
Rhea paused, her stoic poker face not betraying any amusement. "Well, er, here's my e-mail anyway. Hope we get to keep contact?" Camillia blurted-- her response was most probably ignited by the existence of the soul crosses the Navi team was displaying, seeing it as a golden opportunity of some sort to learn from. "B-but it's alright if you don't want to." she stuttered again.
Then suddenly, with a flash, Rhea was Rhea-- the purple-hued Navi again.

Eternalis watched the Momograve disintegrate into raw junk data, and heaved a sigh from his mouth, the jaw once again slack. He collapsed on the snowy ground, letting the harsh cold freeze his pain into manageable numbness. The purple fog began to clear, and he felt his recovery systems working at full blast once again, patching up the wounds of the battle immediately and rendering them inconsequential. He sat up to find Rhea in the same position, and let out a little chuckle.
"And so... it ends now."
His armor had reverted to its former shapes, and his stark purple disposition had changed back to its earlier soothing blue. He raised a not-literal eyebrow at the appearance of Camilia Ranbard, and replied in kind. "Nice to see you, Miss Camilia. I'll have Harke up here in a sec," he announced, pressing a button on his arm-output. A holographic screen appeared to Eternalis' side, displaying Harke Ezarith in all his head-bound glory. The operator raised a hand in simple greeting. The Navi introduced.
"Rhea, Camilia, I'd like you to meet Harke Ezarith, operator."
"Nice to meet you both." A smile.
Eternalis held the data transfer request in his hand, the one that held Camilia's e-mail. Accepting it, the transfer went through, and he sent back Harke's e-mail to reciprocate, knowing his operator wouldn't mind much. He turned to the boy, confirmed his suspicions, and returned his attention to Rhea. His slack jaw was gone, so he couldn't smile, but happiness was evident on his face.
"Well, it's been fun, Rhea, Camilia. If you don't mind, I'll make my exit. Been a long day."
Then, his hand lifted, his hand reforming itself into the ubiquitous and unspoken sign of their friendship: a thumbs-up. The hand was lowered, as the Navi stood up from his seat in the coldness of the slushy snow, staggering a bit from earlier. The next announcement was superfluous and unneeded, but hell, he did it anyway.
"Eternalis.EXE, jacking out."

"Not a problem," Rhea responded wit her own thumbs up, watching her partner go. It was a long day. She felt like she needed a good rest.
"Coming home?" Camillia greeted welcomingly, and Rhea nodded. With a quick jolt of lightning, Rhea disappeared from NetVegas.
... Lightning?
