Game Grid - Race for Space Paranoids [QUEST ctd.]

[Dante]

[OOC: >.> I posted in everything! Well, except for our speed Rp, but I can get to that!]

Emma... She was gone to who knows where and now... Well, first thing's first. His top priority was to eliminate this monster of a Heartless. The howl sure struck fear into the warrior's Heart, but he didn't come to a stop. His comrades were important to him, like his friends, and Shinji was going to break this bastard and he knew exactly how.

"Tron! Anyone!? Is it possible to remove Gravity's effect? I've got a plan!" In the meantime, while waiting for an answer, Shinji turned for the Data Sphere, leaving the bigger Heartless. This idea was sure risky, but he had no other ideas for the time being.

[Rocket!]

[ xD ]

No voice replied to Shinji's plea for help yet. Maybe they were focusing on the other team for a minute?

The Meteor Burst Heartless continued it's charge. It would be on the cyber hero in a metter of seconds now...

[METEOR BURST HEALTH]

[Rocket!]

........ . . . .. . .*Brrzt*

Hm?

"ATTENTION! ATTENTION! This is the system administrator speaking!"

It was Tron-- speaking to the entire system. A loudspeaker kind of setup seemed to be in effect here, with the normally calm security program's nervous voice booming across the city.

"All domestic programs, be advised-- Heartless are currently entering the city at an exponential rate. If unable to locate a terminal to exit the city, stay in reasonable proximity to the security program nearest you."

This isn't the city... it's the game grid. Does this mean Heartless are leaving the game grid and entering the city, or that much more heartless are going to show up really really soon?

"Statistical programs of all kind, report to the Central Computer Core for needed analytical expertise of incoming data." Tron continued, his tone starting to catch up with the urgency behind the information. Going on, at an ever faster rate, "Security programs, please see to protecting all functioning terminals and escorting as many domestic programs without undue risk to the terminals.

"In addition, all inbound users-- please see to the deresolution of the Data Spheres immediately.

Sounds like he's talking to Shinji and the other team there. The Data Sphere-- the thing the Meteor Burst Heartless was chasing, right?

"..."

Breathing, of a sort, could be heard for a moment. Hesitant, though, as the words came to him--

"Space Paranoids is in jeopardy. And... I'm sorry that I was unable to foresee these events as system administrator. Time is short, and we'll need to act fast to reverse the danger.

"Proper compensation will be provided for loss of homes--"

Such began the political ramble. Nothing of particular note here, as far as Shinji was concerned.

A red light grew in from the ground, replacing the blue tiles. It's going to make seeing the Heartless much easier... given that's probably why they're red in the first place.

So there are more coming.

Looks like Tron wants the users to focus on the Data Spheres though-- leave the Heartless to the security programs, and focus on the real problem.

Speaking of Tron, sounds like he's about wrapping up...

"..and rest assured that normal function will resume as soon as the situation is resolved. User assistance from Radiant Garden is present, and with it, the complications will be reversed in no time at all.

"Again, all domestic programs are to report to the I/O Tower..."

Instructions, done and done. Maybe even some mass hysteria averted, if the political tone was anything to go by. Go Tron!

But on the other hand, it looks like major danger time. Heartless are starting to get into the city, Data Spheres are getting anxious, and the whole city's going to be out on the streets.

Heartless are starting to come in droves-- black lined the whole side of the game grid opposite Shinji.

The same side as the Data Sphere.

So, the Heartless are trying to protect the sphere? That's going to make this much harder... but at least it's the only one in the grid.

On a brighter note, a voice came filtering through the machine at Shinji's wrist!

"Its off," Leon reported. "Give the signal when you need it again."

The outside team has brought the gravity back to normal.

Space Paranoids is in serious danger. It's go time.

See to the immediate deresolution of the Data Spheres.

"Thanks a bunch, Leon," shouted Shinji as he attempted to speed up towards the new Heartless. He knew that his job was to eliminate the sphere, but he was so close! He had to avenge Ema with his life! This was what the warrior was truly known for; hard-headedness. This time, oddly enough, it was more of an honor thing than him being ignorant. He had told himself that he would defend his ally, but he had to do something stupid to jeopardize his partner’s safety. His kindness and vigilante-esque personality just wouldn’t allow for such a dreadful act to go unpunished.

There was still his trump card; his final resort. It was about time to unleash it and remove this enemy from the face of the Paranoids. ”Tron, anyone – hear me out! I might need a new bike after this, if possible!” He could feel the Heartless getting closer and his heart beating faster, the butterflies in his stomach causing a commotion. ”For Ema! Shining,” being close to the enemy, Shinji jumped off of his bike, knowing the danger of his actions, and allowed it to, hopefully, ram into the Heartless.

”X!” Energy surged from his crossed arms and, without second thought, it launched out and went straight for the being.
Ema, Tron, Leon and everyone else… I won’t fail you!
