Fidelis shouted to the programs all around him, "Get as far away form here as you can and find somewhere to hide from this trouble. Hurry, or deresolution might happen to you!" Hopefully, the fact they might be de-rezzed would keep them away from the tower.

Three of the programs ran at the sound of such harsh threats. Most, however, didn't quite get the slice and dice comment.
They got the de-rez, though.
At that, everyone under the antivirus' shield ran for cover. While other citizens saw the clump leaving, not many followed. I'd guess there's two more groups on the street. Most of them are running in the opposite direction: towards the spheres.
What the heck?
The green program rolled his eyes at the threat Joshua made. Apparently, this guy isn't especially fond of Users. Groaning, he forced the fallen remains to the side of the shield as he dropped it entirely. "C'mon," he said. "Let's get the rest of these guys outta here."
The large sphere, now up to four feet in diameter, was already starting up on another skyscraper. The building was just to the left of the one Joshua and Fidelis were near. The thing was already shaking at the foundations, right after the Data Sphere had locked onto it!
It's getting bigger. And it's getting faster.

Joshua looked up at the sphere that continued growing. "This is getting out of hand," he muttered. Joshua tilted his head slightly towards Fidelis and the anti-virus. "You guys deal with the programs. I'll deal with the sphere! It needs to be stopped now before it becomes unbeatable." With that said, Joshua ran toward the building, not even waiting for a reply from the two.
Joshua was surprised of himself. That was practically the first time he had taken charge of anything. It was amazing what being a hero with these powers could do to change someone....
Joshua approached the skyscraper and slowed to a halt. He looked up at the building and began to wonder how he was gonna get up there. As if sensing his thoughts, his claws shout out of the gauntlet he was wearing. Joshua gripped his hands tight and stabbed his fists into the building. He was lucky that he had been working on his upper body strength a lot, because he most definitely needed it now. Joshua just kept climbing to the sphere.

Fidelis nodded at Joshua before he ran back to ushering the programs into a safe place. He repeated the phrase to the programs running towards the sphere, with a slight variation, "You'll end up de-rezzed if you head toward that thing! Head to safety in the other direction!"

The green program did a half shrug and followed after Fidelis.
__FIDELIS_____
The term de-rez, as like before, got the programs' attention very quickly. The green program kept along side the leaving groups, providing them with cover from falling rubble.
However, some of the braver (or more stupid, depending on how you look at them,) ran toward the sphere regardless of Fidelis' warnings. Maybe even in spite of the warnings.
Daredevils. Always gotta be a pain in the rear.
The green program noticed them, but couldn't do much more than jerk his head pointedly at them to get Fidelis to notice them.
__JOSHUA_____
The Data Sphere continued to absorb the building. Various bits and pieces, scraps of data, continued to be absorbed.
The building's foundations didn't quite fit just yet, though. Those made it up to the Sphere, but were dropped haphazardly.
In Joshua's general direction.

Joshua was grunting to himself as he continued to climb. "'I need your help,' he says, 'I won't even bother to mention that you're going to go into a computer and climb a giant skyscraper of information, no....'[/i]" Joshua looked down from where he was. That was just a bit too high for him. He gulped and looked back up to the sphere when he saw the bits of bricks falling towards him. Joshua groaned and looked around for a way to dodge. There was nothing. Joshua could only try one thing.
He pulled out one of his hands from the wall and swung to the right, landing with his back against the wall. He stabbed his claws into the wall (twisting his hands an odd way) and pulled himself tight against the surface in case any debris fell to the left of where he used to be.

Fidelis noted the green program's jerking of head and saw some programs running toward the sphere. "Apparently, threat of deresolution isn't enough for those programs. I'm going after them. Continue to lead the other programs to safety!" Fidelis said, and started running after the sprinting programs. Drawing out Wingblade, he shot a couple of arrows in their direction, a couple of meters ahead of them, so that they would stop in there tracks, hopefully.

_FIDELIS_____All of the running programs stopped right there and then. Obviously, outright threats like that one made more than a little bit of an impression. As the programs turned to face Fidelis, a few of them started to size Fidelis up right away, as though they needed to be ready to run if the worst came to happen. There were... maybe seven of the daredevils. Though age isn't exactly easily determined, you could tell by the way they held themselves, their mannerisms, that they weren't exactly "adults". A yellow one stepped towards Fidelis, with the promise of compromise written all across his face. "Look, we're not gonna be de-rezzed. We're too smart for that, right?" Nods came from the other programs. This one's a leader. "'Sides, we can help. Give us a chance?" asked the program with an extended hand, ready to shake. [Your call on this one Fidelis. You want to let the teenagers help out? Or do you think it's a bit too dangerous?]The green program continued to usher people out of harm's way on the other end of the street. He didn't seem to be having any trouble so far. _JOSHUA_____[Good. Very good! I half expected that Tron would have to butt in and try to save you!]The debris whooshed past Joshua, with only some slight rubble bouncing off his shoulder. That worked out well! Y'know. 'Cept the big Sphere is still getting bigger. Massive building failure wasn't gonna happen just yet, but it was definitely coming. Datasteel was still flying, but none was coming down in Joshua's area for the time being. The bright blue Sphere continued to engorge itself on the remains of the skyscraper, and showed no signs of stopping. At least the getting bigger is kinda a good thing-- as it gets bigger, it gets closer to Joshua, right? Speaking of which, Joshua's around three floors away from the Data Sphere. [MASSIVE BUILDING FAILURE?! OH NOES! Let's get the timer up, shall we?
7 rounds left
Until the entire building collapses into a pile of rubble! No worries, you'll have plenty of heads up before that happens. Just start thinking on how you plan on getting down, and how long it'd take.]

Fidelis looked at each of the programs and thought for a moment. He folded Wingblade and put it back on his belt, and the arrows he had shot back in his quiver. He then said to the youthful looking programs, "It's going to be dangerous. But, I would appreciate the help you would provide." He took the yellow programs hand and shook it. The next thing, he said, "Do you seven each have a weapon of some kind?"

((Cue Dramatic Music- "Street Fighter (War)"-Sick Puppies)) Joshua gave a noise that sounded something like "phew." He spun himself back around so that he was facing the building. He felt it begin to rumble and knew that he was running out of time. Joshua focused his adrenaline into his arms and pulled himself up. His adrenaline flung him further than he had gone. His claws slid out of the wall. Once he was about six feet from his original location, he stuck his claws back into the wall and performed the same, momentum-giving jump. He continued this maneuver until he was above the sphere that was stuck on the building. It wasn't much farther up anyway. Joshua struggled to keep his balance as the building shook some more. Unfortunately he fell and was able to see how high up he was. He grabbed on for his life and gulped. He hated heights. " Alright you piece of crap. I'm takin' you down the hard way." Joshua slammed his right Tri-Claws into the sphere, then his left claws. He then yelled out as he felt the dark armor that had once save him grow over his body. It covered every inch except a small slit for the eyes. He had just piled a rather large weight of 350 pounds onto the sphere. ((For the best effect, listen to the song while reading if you didn't figure it out)) |

[[PPPPAAAAAUUUUUUSSSSEEEE!
WARNING! WARNING! CONTINUITY BREACH HAS OCCURRED! WARNING! WARNING...
Fidelis... *finger wag* your character shouldn't know terms like De-rez and Identity Disk! (I haven't seen Tron, though I've been trying to find a way to see it for a while now, but I'm assuming you're using terminology from the film or other similar techie stuff.)
Fidelis Topaz, the character, hasn't been anywhere near Space Paranoids in his past. I won't ask you to change the de-rez bits from before, but I am asking you to fix up the ID mention, or convince me outta it by telling me how the char knows such things!
Also, you joined this Quest while your character was still awaiting approval. That's not really a good thing, and you should remember that in the future, okay? I'm not going to kick anyone out of the Quest, no worries. ^_^ But it does mean I need you to update the link you gave me in the Sign-up Thread to the real profile link. (Right now, it doesn't go anywhere! I had to go searching for your character profile!)
So we're Paused here until we can get all that fixed up, Fidelis. Sorry!]]

[Sounds good! And no worries; we all have those kinda days where we forget the details. ^_^; We're back on track now!]
_FIDELIS_____
The yellow program grinned. "Don't you know it!" Reaching back to his back, the leader pulled out a large ring-like object that had a handle in the middle. Upon moving his hand from the ring to the handle, a large blue beam suddenly shot out of the top of the ring. No, actually, it's not a gun, it's a sword. A beam sword, I guess.
Oddly enough, the sword suddenly swung around to hang downwards. The ring moves, then, while the handle doesn't. Looks like a hard weapon to wield, if you're relying on centrifical force to keep the blade moving.
The rest of the group pulled out similar weapons, each rotating around a handle.
"We can handle ourselves. But is that really an issue, User?" asked the program. "Not like there're any Heartless around, right?"
He has a point. Mainly, you've got the sightseers to worry about.
"Hey! HEY!"[/b] The green program was waving to Fidelis feverishly as he suddenly dashed for some rubble of a collapsed building, leaving the next to last group to finish leaving on their own. "There's some programs in here!" the program shouted.
Whuh oh.
_JOSHUA_____
fzzzzzzzzZZZZZZRRRRRRRR!!!!!!![/size]
The Data Sphere started to undulate, with the fuzzy aura that made up it's exterior waving and phasing schizophrenically. Jolting backwards, the Sphere suddenly started to fall towards the ground. In doing so, it detached from the building. (However, the building's still too damaged to just leave it and hope for the best. 6 rounds left until it falls.)
So now Joshua's falling through the air, all while on the Sphere... and how many floors up are they?
[Doing pretty good guys! We're starting to get close to the halfway point!]

Joshua, for once in his life, was thanking the Heartless for the wonderful armor he was given as the sphere began to fall. He had completed, the mission, but realized that he was going with the sphere. Joshua wasn't sure if this armor of his was sturdy enough to endure a fall from the current height, and even if it was, who knows how much damage Joshua would take underneath the armor.
His armor quickly retreated back into his mask and gauntlets and began running along the sphere as it spun. He turned to the building and made an adrenaline filled jump. His claws stabbed into the building about halfway down. Joshua swung around like a rag doll as his claws ripped down the building, sparks flying everywhere. Joshua could feel tears building up in his eyes from the immense pain his arms were in. Once he was about ten feet from the bottom, Joshua focused his momentum on kicking the wall out from under him. He did a backflip through the air, successfully using the last of any of his momentum to gain control of his speed. He landed, with his legs spread, on the ground in front of the building.
Joshua collapsed to the ground to rest and wait for Fidelis to come for him. He'd be panting if he could breathe.

Fidelis heard the green program and dashed over to him. Holding Goldtalon and Silverplume firmly, he said, "Stand back, this could spray rubble around." Concentrating, he spun the blades and shouted, "PHOENIX TWINSTRIKE!!!" and the two blades turned to shining blades of Light and spun through the rubble, making a tunnel of sorts as he moved forward.
