[This thread is CLOSED. Only participants in the Race for Space Quest may participate here. Shinji, Emma, you're in here!] Vwrrt... vwrrrt...With little warning, two shapes fell into being, landing on the cold dark floor. Conversely, the entire arena was brightly illuminated. But it was, very obviously, an arena. The boxed in walls, and other programs fighting in the area showed that! Speaking of fighting... two large Heartless on wheels flew by the two Users. A voice echoed out above them: "Hello? Emma, Shinji, are you there? Listen closely! "You're in an arena of sorts. There's a larger sphere in the area, but I can't point down it's exact location. Track it down, and destroy it!" Tron's voice began to fade. "Keep an eye on your wrists!" Indeed, there was now something strapped to their wrists! A rectangular slab with data spewed across it. Hey, that looks like... "Use those to keep an eye on your allies, as well as keep in contact. You can only speak to one ally at a time, though!"  Find and destroy the Data Sphere! |

As the beam transported Shinji into the area, he felt a slight tingle. Nothing much, just a little funny feeling. He opened his eyes as he came into existence within the Space Paranoids. This was amazing! Where were they, him and Emma? Seemed like the type of place that you would fight in.
At that moment, two heartless, on what seemed like bikes, flew past the two sending his hair the same direction as the force of their leftover wind. Then, he heard Tron over the area. He talked about the giant sphere and the Game Grid. So, this was called the Game Grid, eh? Pretty spiffy. "Keep an eye on your wrists." Huh? The hero looked down at his wrist and almost fell back.
He didn't like surprises like that. God damn... another piece of metal that he had to keep up with. Well, it didn't matter much. He wanted to go Servo, though, but now wasn't the time to go into him. He looked over at Emma with a smile. "So, where do you want to start looking?"

Emma felt slightly odd after the transfer into the computer, but it didn't take too long for that feeling to go away. She looked around a bit, keeping her guard up for any sudden attack. She didn't know much about this place or what kind of enemies would be around, so she was definitely at a disadvantage.
She flinched as the two Heartless zoomed by and cursed silently to herself. So much for having her guard up. She looked at her wrist about the same time Shinji did, thought wasn't quite as surprised as he was. Instead, she tapped it with one of her fingers, trying to determine if it was solid. It felt like it, so she could assume that everything else was solid as well. The fact that she was inside a computer made her question that.
"Hm." She mused. "I think our best bet is to follow the Heartless." She reasoned. The problem was, they were pretty fast on the bikes. It looked nigh impossible to follow them on foot. "I'm just not sure how to catch up to them. Do you think Tron can do something?"

Tron's voice crackled through the unseen speakers on the metallic interfaces. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all! One moment, and I'll have those bikes to you." Typing could be heard on the other end of the line. Far off in the distance, the Heartless on wheels that had passed earlier were turning off and around... making a U-turn. Another one had joined their ranks. The rumbling of their dark empowered engines wasn't friendly in the slightest. To Emma's right, and Shinji's left, two floating motorcycles appeared. Black with green stripes. Kinda suits the atmosphere, admittedly. They weren't the sturdiest things on the block, and certainly wouldn't survive more than a few Strong attacks, but they were definitely capable of speed. "Keep an eye out around you Users! I'm counting seven Heartless in the area. ...make that eight. Those bikes will be able to keep up with most of them, though." Defeat all that try and stop you from deleting the Data Sphere! |

Shinji watched as a bike, one of green and black, appeared to his left. This had to be the coolest thing in the world. Well, no use in wasting this coolest thing in the world, right? So, without hesitation, the hero hopped on the cycle and revved the motorcycle up, waiting for Emma to get on hers. "Hey, thanks a bunch, Tron! This'll sure be one heck of a ride."
Shinji glanced over at Emma, smiling. "Might want to hurry, those heartless are coming back and fast!" Those things were getting faster and faster as they gained up on the two. Well, being Shinji, the hero revved the bike up one more time and then pulled away, making a U-Turn of his own to face these things head on. If he went Servo now, maybe he could use Servo's ultra fist to crush these guys... but now didn't feel like the time. Maybe he'd use it when him and Emma got up to the Data Sphere.
He had to remember the plan, though. Follow them. Well, unless provoked to a degree. All that normal Shinji could really do was use his own strength and spiked glove to punch the things. That's the whole reason he carried the glove. He would beincredibly defensless without it if someone had taken his Servo Metal.

"Thanks Tron!" She said, glad that he had overheard what she said. Emma hopped on the bike and performed a U-turn of her own. She was surprised that she found the bike so easy to maneuver. In fact, it was pretty damn fun.
"You can handle heartless, right, Shinji?" Emma asked, slightly teasing. Well, she certainly hoped he could. It would cripple their mission if he couldn't hold his own. "How exactly are we gonna follow them if they're coming back at us?"
This put a hole in her plans and that irked her. "Should we get rid of these ones and try to find the others Tron mentioned?" Emma asked. It seemed a good idea, but she was worried that the fighting might attract the rest of the Heartless to them. That would leave them with no leads.

The three wheel Heartless were fast approaching. Wait, scratch that-- they were right on top of them! The three Heartless caught up to the two on their bikes relatively easily. Coming up alongside the two heroes, the Magnum Loaders seemed to look over at them... with evil intentions. WHAM! Woah, one on the left rammed into Emma! No damage taken just yet, but it's not exactly a great feeling! VrrRROOMM, VrrRROOMM Revving, almost in laughter, the three Magnum Loaders prepared to really begin their attack. |

"Emma! Wait right there!" Shinji rode over to the Magnum Loaders, his fist clenched tightly. He wasn't really skilled in biking, but since this was a virtual world, things could happen. He zoomed in front of a single Heartless, spinning on the back wheel and coming down hard with his spiked knuckle. Hit or miss, the hero skidded on his back wheel and in front of the other Heartless and Emma.
"Emma! You alright!?"

Emma panicked momentarily as her bike wobbled after the impact. After another moment, she was able to balance it. As per Shinji's instruction, she slowed down a bit, only staying on the accelerator so she'd be able to dodge any other attacks directed at her. She wasn't going to be of much use against the magnum loaders.
"Yea, I'm fine!" She replied, still slightly on edge from the prior attack. Now for an offense of her own. She steered her bike up close to a near by Heartless and jammed her foot towards the wheel and steered off a good distance away.

Emma's foot hit the wheel of the fast moving Heartless, causing it to very nearly wipe out! However, though it did slow down tremendously, Emma's foot had almost gotten caught in the grooves of the wheel. Try a stunt like that again, without timing it right, and you just might go down with the Heartless. Shinji's swift left hook had gone for the Magnum Loader just as it had been about to ram into Shinji. A well timed hit like that made quite an impression on the creature. Literally. (Impression can mean dent or hole, in some cases! Whoo!) Needless to say, the Magnum Loaders were much more cautious about these newcomers. They kept a loose circle around them, not trying to get too close. However, they did seem to be trying to get them to turn to the right...  - Reach out and kick one of the Magnum Loader's arms and into it's own wheel!
- Call out to your allies in the Computer Room for help!

Time to get a little bit of action up in this place. Shinji watched as the Heartless gathered around, the two Light Cyclists heading straight towards a trap, one that Shinji didn't yet know about. It was obvious that these thins were just the weaklings of the Heartless in this area, so taking these out shouldn't be a problem. Taking a look at Emma, Shinji glared at the arms of one of the close Magnum Loaders and smirked. "Lets amp it up!"
The hero kicked the arm of the closet Magnum Loader and twirled around on his back wheel, coming down for another shot with his Fighter's Glove. He could feel Servo wanting the be used, but now wasn't one of the best times to transform, seeming as how they were riding on bikes and all. If he could take this one Loader out, then the others may back off... Then again, they could become extremely angry and just charge the two helpers.
If things did get out of hand, though... Shinji will have to be extremely careful. He would transform into Servo and would shoot his laser, probably twirling around on his back wheel to create a deadly spiral. This was all just a plan B. Anything could happen at this moment and could ruin everything for Tron and the others. They probably won't get a second chance if they did die.

Emma nodded, steering her bike towards the Magnum Loader she already kicked at. Shinji's idea was much better than hers was, another kick like the one she made prior probably wasn't as safe as she thought. As she approached, she lifted her foot for another kick, trying to guide the Magnum Loader's arm into it's wheel, hopefully wedging it in tightly if it caught quickly enough.
She felt herself almost about to lose balance of the bike again, so her foot returned and she sped off quickly to avoid any counterattack the Magnum Loader might try, she'd only be able to avoid it if her attack had been successful, otherwise, the Heartless would be able to catch up with her quite easily.

The Magnum Loader Emma'd kicked at was prepared for her attack. However, it tried to defend itself with the arm Emma wanted to kick. Go figure.
The arm managed to get lodged in the wheel, forcing the Magnum Loader up and through the air. It very nearly landed on one of it's allies, but that one moved away in time. The Heartless disappeared.
Shinji's fancy moves, for all their awesomeness, seem to have some risk! In the middle of the twirl around, the Heartless to the rear had come forward to urge the group forward towards a wall. It ran into Shinji while he had one wheel midair. Shinji's fist went wide and missed the other Heartless. The moderately damaged Magnum Loader promptly backed up a ways in response, and was trying to regain it's sense of balance.
Shinji though... he's gonna have to get creative if he doesn't want to fall backwards. And that's something he's in the middle of doing.
Gonna want to get creative with this one.

Woah! One of those Magnum Loaders just rammed into Shinji, making his punch miss by a long shot. He was going to beat some Heartless butt after he regained balance. He was falling now, the only thing left to do being the power of transforming. So, in a quick motion, the hero burst in an array of bright lights, all colored white, of course. When it faded down, the thing seen riding the bike was an armored man, something that looked entirely nothing like Shinji. With his hand, Servo planted it on the Game Grid ground, pushing himself up from the fall.
This push allowed him some time to reposition himself on the bike before it came down on its back wheel, falling back into place with its front. That was a close call, so no more one wheeled attacks from our noble hero. Servo came equipped with a laser, of course. What hero didn't? So, with a quick salute like hand getsure on his forehead, he shot a laser at a Magnum Loader.
"Emma. Make a left. We're getting out of this pickle."

Emma's eyes widened in shock as Shinji managed to end up just fine after almost wiping out. What's more, he had completely transformed. The light was incredibly bright that she had to look away for a moment as too not damage her eyes.
Her initial thought was another Heartless perhaps, taking Shinji's place somehow. But, the fact that it resembled nothing evil put her slightly at ease. A smile spread across her face as the newly armored Shinji shot at a Magnum Loader with his laser. She had to admit, that was pretty darn spiffy.
"Got it." She said, nodding and making a sharp left with her bike. With Shinji's transformation, the mission seemed like it would be easier. That is, as long as he could stay transformed and they didn't run into too many more or any stronger Heartless.
