Damn it...
Worthless trash. I have no room for such ineptitude in my plans.
Say the word, and I'll try and get us out of here.
N-not yet...
..I intend to be the ruler of this realm and show the strong just how outclassed they truly are.
...
Count yourself fortunate that you will still have opportunities to prove that usefulness has not outlived yourself. For when that occurs... deletion awaits.
Ngh.. Yes.
However, should we fail to find this next-in-rank... you will be held responsible.
I am wholeheartedly prepared.
Talk about a close call.
Hmph. That naive pretender will pay for that and more when the time is ripe.
Are you sure?
Quite. Brutes like him are all the same. They'll shove their power into the enemy's face until it goes away. Too arrogant and too foolish to improvise when they're beaten at their own game.
It's very possible he may be the strongest... and his Operator may have a shred of skill... but that does not make him the best.
I see what you mean. Though maybe we should get going before he reconsiders on his past thoughts...
What the hell is your problem with the constant threats, anyway? What motivates you to kill so many people?
How is it your feeble mind cannot process something so insignificant? If one's life bears no use for me, I shall exterminate it.
Hah. No. Humans aren't feeble--
You are human. Correct?
...
And what do you do day by day? You reduce yourself to menial labor. You relent your freedoms to this "boss" of yours.
If all humans are this way-- submissive, reclusive, soft-- Then I resent them with every fiber of my being.
Like cattle, you all settle for mediocrity and applaud the average. I refuse to let myself stagnant. I will keep fighting until everyone recognizes my presence as their superior. And all that challenge me will be blown to the graveyard like rubbish.
...
...So you're a coward?
A what?
Need I repeat myself? You're a simple coward. That, or you simply don't understand humans.
I've already told you in the past. If you get rid of guys while they're weak, you aren't proving anything. You're only robbing yourself of the chance to let them return stronger.
Navis might be different, but if there is one thing we sapiens hate? it's losing. You see us as soft-- give us the proper motivation, and that can change.
...
You know what? Scratch that. Let's drop some digital heads. Lay waste to as many Rankers as we can find, it's not like anybody lying here doesn't deserve it.
...But if *I* were one of them? After being left to rot once stripped of my pride, my status, and my identity? I'd only wish I was dead.
...
...*grumbling noises*
Hi, I have a question about NetNavis.
I have a 7-year-old daughter; recently her NetNavi and an autonomous NetNavi she's acquainted with - the same one that caused the brief mist outbreak in the ACDC Area a few days back, actually - were involved in an incident. They weren't hurt, but when they face a Virus, sometimes their customizations are...swapped, I think?
The autonomous Navi's stable, she and my daughter's Navi have been rather close ever since the mist outbreak was resolved. My daughter says this began when they were fighting a Virus in ACDC Area 2 not usually there; I've checked her battle history, and apparently it's internal name is "CloudySP".
Do you know anything about close Navis gaining each other's abilities?
Y'know, if you say you wanna stay active with these strolls, it'd probably be a good idea to stop buying the fatty stuff from the bakery each time.
What's the problem? I work it off with the rest of my walk, no bigg-
Uh...hello, mister. My name's...um...my name's...Kaguya, an' I dunno how to get home...could you help, please?
Oh! Uh...sure. You know where it is?
Down that thing, when you ride it and the big voice says you're almost at Yoka...
If I didn't know any better I'd be asking her how the heck she got from Yoka to here by herself.
Well, right now what's important is making sure she gets home safe. Uh...it shouldn't be too long of a wait to get to Yoka from the Metroline. C'mon.
...I promise nothing.
It's your call, buddy. It's your call.
Okay, how is he doing that!?
Look at his legs.
...Woah... I had no idea you swung that way--
No! He's channeling an aura in his feet and using it to propel himself!
Well...that's the thing. I - I'm Sara, by the way - I have two installs prepared now in case this is any dangerous, but I never set my daughter's Navi up with the...Cross System, it's called? And from what she told me about the autonomous Navi, the same goes for her.
That's part of why I asked about the CloudySP. I've mostly only been able to ask my daughter and the Solo Navi about this, but they seem to agree the Cross happened when the area glitched for a second, possibly from the CloudySP.
I'm really sorry for the hassle; do you have someone who specializes in documenting Viruses?
There it is, right over there. Thank you!
Ms. Kaguya and I are forever in your debt, sir.
Oh, uh...I just wanted to see you home safely, do we need a-
...?
Sorry, had a bit of a nasty run-in, but I've handed out all the flyers you-
Oh, uh...oh dear.
I just don't see how bad it could be!
Well maybe, you should meet an example on someone who tried that a year back, witchy!
How rude!
Man, that was horrible.
Oh, ya think boss? *groan*... Man, at least that's over...
True enough. ('Sides, at least I got you checked in with the police earlier or we could've been in deep shit.)
(Yeah, fair enough)
Ugh, really, Shion? I can barely even get any shut-eye recently as it is.
Don't give me that! You got like, six whole HOURS of sleep!
Yeah. That's the problem.
(This kid's gonna be the death of me, I swear...)
