"AHHHH!!" the figure stopped flashing, recieved the attack and fell to the floor with a cut throughout its chest, after flying upwards enough to be sent away. Even though not finished, the creature changed almost completely, its coloration had become red, orange and black again, an ember being evident as its mark on its head showing it was a navi, its two tails at the end of its back were totally numb and didn't move at all. The wolf-like navigator was knocked out, its energy was out.
Auspex froze. The Chamberlain around him went rigid. He let the rifle barrel slide towards the floor, still absorbing Slash's statement. Facing down a Cybeast was priority, but with a Net Official, it churned into something else entirely.
"Barrels down." He shouted at the bewildered Troopers around him. "Rockets, break them down." The Launcher wielders complied, stripping the Launcher case and tying them into their duffles.
The flooring had emerged as concrete, prompting some squads to spread out to the center floor. The water drained knee-deep. Auspex could see the concrete was asphalt, the white and yellow painted trim of parking tiles, and the blue diagram of a wheel chair.
He grabbed the shoulder of a nearby Trooper. "Break out and find the other one. Kill anything that bars your path, no quarter!"
Taking a heavy breath, Kurtz gave a short whistle. "Whoo... that was different." He commented, rubbing his shoulder as he grit his fangs together, staring at the now immobile Navi with a distinctly sorrowful look. "...Damn... what the hell happened to that Navi..." He groaned, as his arm crackled with electricity.
"Kurtz, need a heal?" His operator came through the link.
"No... not yet." Kurtz replied, slowly walking towards the immobile Navi as he stared towards it, tapping the body slightly with his foot. "....I don't want to delete this one..."
"Why not? Didn't you say you wanted to?"
"Look, whatever that was... it did something to this Navi. There's no point deleting this Navi... not just yet..." He muttered, continuing to tap the body with his foot.
The Navi stopped squirming, it returned to its normal state. PyroMan slumped on the data floor, "What... where?" he grunted, looking everywhere, only finding Kurtz in front of him, "Oh hi! Who are you?" he asked.
Come on! Slash thought, struggling to hold the squirming Leviathan, "Change back already!" He shouted in frustration. Soon after he said that, Leviathan settled down, her body glowing softly. Slash quickly lowered the two of them to the ground falling onto his butt a bit. Fighting a cybeast, even one that's not fully awar of it's own strength, is tiring work especially when you're trying not to destroy them.
The light faded, Leviathan looked no worse for wear considering what had transpired, "What happened? I remember that dragon thing, and then nothing."
"It was a cybeast, long story." Slash said, "Shadow, we need to get out of here fast, I'm tottaly drained."
*R-World*
"No problem," Shadow said, "Izuna, how's Leviathan's stats look?"
Izuna whiped her eyes a bit, relieved that Leviathan was okay, "She's fine all things considered, just looks like her energy too a big drop."
"That's normal, she should be fine after a quick rest." Shadow said, "Shouldn't have to worry about anything else now."
*C-World*
"There might be a small problem." Slash said, "Auspex is still around and gunning for Cybeasts remember? Leviathan is whiped from her time as in beast out and as for me,"
*R-World*
"In your state I wouldn't put you into a cybeast, it's too uncontrollable when you're at full power. In this state it might take over you completely and I'm not gonna risk losing you."
"We need to find your friend, then get to the portal I made to get us out of here." Izuna said, "Once we get there we can get back to my HP and send Slash and Pyroman back to you guys."
*C-world*
"I just hope Pyro's around, and in better condition than we are." Slash said.
Sometimes being inconspicuous wasn't a bad thing. Like now, when those soldiers had broken in to take down the Cybeast. Something told Zephyr that they weren't friends, not in the least.
"I think the Cybeast program wore off... whatever the hell that is..." he muttered, watching.
"Cybeast?" Alex muttered. he immediately began scouring the net for every last scrap of data concerning the Cybeast program. "What in the hell's a Cybeast?"
"From what I've seen? Nothing we want to be involved in..." Zephyr remarked sourly.
Pyro groaned, he tried to sit up, "Why is my head spinning?" Pyro grunted, standing up, barely to his feet.
"Don't worry about that for now." Kurtz muttered to the Navi, his face turning of one from a serious look to that of a more... friendlier, more jollier look across his maw. "I'm Kurtz, just a curious bugger who stumbled onto yah. Something happened to you, do you remember anything?" He asked, looking to Pyro's face.
"Uhh... not in the least" Pyro said, "But I feel drained somehow... the last thing I remember was being inside a cage..." he said, "Were you the one to get me out?" he smiled through his face-mask, "Thanks a lot, Kurtz! My name's PyroMan!" he said as he stretched a paw to shake it, forgetting about everything else going on in the domain.
"Okay we need to find Pyro fast and get these guys out of there." Shadow looked over at Mar, who had been quiet for awhile, "Mar, do you have a location on Pyro? Slash and Leviathan can't be too far away from him."
*C-World*
"He should be somwhere around here, just look for a cage." Slash said taking slightly to the air to look around.
