… Aaaaaaand she failed. A couple thugs had gotten in her way, and while they were a breeze to blow down, they had successfully kept Naja from supporting Llexe in any sort of timeframe that actually helped. Now she was partly injured. And that… was so… immensely… frustrating. It rather felt like it was her fault, even though Llexe had been the one with the suicidal charge. Real anger coursed through Naja’s remaining veins as the rest finished up, enough so that she had to contain herself from kicking one of the downed goons, hard. Or just plain destroy a nearby wall.

Calm down, Naja. You’re better than that. You don’t need to take out your aggression on anything…

She stood there motionlessly, assuming the others could handle their own injuries, containing herself for now. … Or, at least, until a jeep pulled up, and two men came out. Naja turned and walked to somewhat stand in between them and the rest of their team, as some of them were injured. As if they needed protection. Naja inspected the strong-looking men that had come out. Nice bodies. Decently so. Honestly, they looked more like the men she’d been expecting to team up with on this mission, rather than this band of misfits. They were a sight for sore eyes.

Well. Minus the attitude, the loud unpleasant noise made slamming the car, and the nerve to call them “meat”. That could use some work. Naja let a slight smile flash by her lips before she promptly dropped it and replied.

‘You’re part of the big shots in this area? I suppose that’d make you the Black Dragons,’ Naja deduced, looking at the markings of the jeep and the tattoos of the first guy. ‘Good. That saves us the time trying to find you,’ the cyborg gently told them, and then turned around to the rest.

‘How about it? Any of you more eager to take them on than me?’ Naja asked, checking her allies after the last battle. At least two of them was some manner of wounded… she thought. It was a little hard to judge with Light. Regardless, she then turned back to the two, confidently smacking one metal fist in the other’s palm. ‘Otherwise, I’m ready to take you on.’

With that, Naja waited to hear if any multiples of her allies argued that they wanted the fight more than her, in which case she’d honestly just bow down for now, she was willing to watch from the sidelines and inspect the capabilities of her allies… but she also really wanted to beat someone up right about now.

Specifically the talking one. His face would feel good to beat in.
I wrote some fan-fiction. The following is if the event had transpired in such a way that it was only Naja VS Viper and Cobra.


The sound of motorcycle engines alerted Naja to the new arrivals. Seeing how there were no threats left inside the building Naja started walking out in time to hear the reasoning of the two females for attacking them. Hmpf. Llexe was already on her way, so it was likely Naja’s retort would not be heard, but…

‘You fools. Us being beaten by the likes of you right now would only prove that we’re weak. If you want recognition, wait until we’ve dismantled a couple Disasters, THEN beat us,’ Naja told them with a sigh. ‘Though, not like it matters…’ the cyborg then bent her knees in preparation for launching herself. ‘You’re not beating us.’

Their opponents fought like a duo. Naja could see it in their stances. All the holes were being filled by their partner, one through offense and the other through defense. Fighting against them by herself may even have been a challenge. However, she wasn’t alone. As such, Naja dashed in full speed to fill in behind Llexe. The berserker was going to have to live with Naja looking after her, duo against duo, whether she liked it or not.

Llexe’s Roll Over was likely faster than Naja’s top speed, but Naja was pretty fast, herself. She dashed in behind Llexe’s mid-air assault, past the walking Kiyoshi, where she realized how exposed Llexe had left herself. Trying to defend her Naja pulled a swiping kick with a metal leg to slam away any who intended to attack Llexe in her motion. If any grunts came for the cyborg she could easily slam away their attack with a punch and then elbow them with a baji quan elbow slam that probably left them disabled.

The problem was in case the twins were good enough to somehow counter Llexe’s assault. If so, Naja attempted to kick away their counters with quick, defensive long-range savate kicks, hopefully too quick for the enemy to intercept while long-ranged enough to discourage interception before Llexe recovered. There was Kiyoshi’s… clone, too, which could perhaps assist with the matter, perhaps even ensured Naja wasn’t needed, but she wasn’t about to gamble that. Impressive speed, that.

Time was on their side, as Naja couldn’t imagine any of her companions being taken out by the goons. With time, there’d be less thugs about and their victory would come easier. All that really mattered now was that Viper and Cobra didn’t manage to injure any of them. Because that’d mean they were off to a terrible start.

If it turned out her defense wasn’t needed, Naja’d stick around by Llexe, intent on backing up in this fight against the twins.

Eevee went onto the defensive, trying to dodge Quick Attacks… except Quick Attacks are really hard to dodge. Growlithe Embered that one particular Blitzle, which skipped away startled no longer focused on Erza, while Pidgey Sand Attacked at their opponents… Unfortunately, it didn’t exactly stop their opponents. Erza managed to use his Potion on Eevee (because Eevee had no move commanded), but he didn’t have time to also apply it to Growlithe. Despite the lowered accuracy even the affected Blitzle’s were decently accurate, and all three targetable Pokémon suffered numerous Quick Attacks. Pidgey and Growlithe fainted, though Eevee was still about, albeit once again took heavy damage from numerous Blitzle charges.

Extraordinary cast Night Shade on the Shiny Blitzle! The shiny Blitzle shuddered, though only took the equivalent of 5 HP of damage, and turned to attempt Quick Attacking Extraordinary! … It had no effect and charged into a Blitzle behind it! The Blitzles around was starting to get rather annoyed with Extraordinary, whom was turning difficult to harm. One of them was trying to get close to Extraordinary with the horn in order to shoot a Shock Wave straight in the middle of her before it was rerouted to another Blitzle, but Extraordinary didn’t really have any trouble just drifting off before that could happen.

Erza only has Eevee and Extraordinary left right now. What does he do?

The guy was looking over, while the girl recovered from her coughing him. It took a couple of seconds, with Valen of course not seeing because he was hiding.

‘W-well, in any case! We’re here to look for clues, because there may be some hints to the Pokémon supposedly associated with each of these shrines. That is, while the guardians of Silent Shrine and Abandoned Shrine is long gone, the guardian of Lost Shrine is supposedly still there, so if we check here, we might be able to figure out what it is…!’ the girl continued saying… when the sound of a Pokémon coming out of its Pokémon sounded out. ‘… Huh?’

‘Hey.’ Valen suddenly found the guy from the pair crouching next to him, staring at him with a blank stare, a familiar small fire dog species standing at his side.

‘Growlithe!’



Pokédex Entry #58 – Growlithe, the Puppy Pokémon. Known to be brave and loyal to it’s trainer, but will bark threateningly at anyone entering its territory. It has superb sense of smell and will never forget a smell once it has picked up on it. Through smell, it can sense the emotions of others.


‘How’d you find our conversation? No matter. Hey, would you like to come on a trip with us? It’ll be fun. I promise,’ he told, holding a blank face the whole time, staring at Valen. The girl over there was looking rather confused. ‘The alternative is we have an immediate and violent Pokémon battle. So, franky, I insist.’

… What does Valen do?

‘You’re welcome. Thank you, as well. Hm,’ Earl said, as Marowak came back with a crying Cubone in her grasp so that Earl could return them both to their Pokéballs. ‘I might depart as well. Some of my Pokémon need to visit the Pokémon Center, and I need to experiment with herbs from other forests as well. Besides, my Budews are more than able to handle the research and the pot in the house without me,’ Earl told, and a couple Budews up at the building went up to the edge and stood at attention, sure to be a big surprise for the next person who knocked on that door that it was a house completely inhabited by just Budews.

‘I won’t go with you, that’s not in my nature,’ Earl stated, shrugging a bit. ‘… But down the line, we might meet each other again, in some forest way away from here. So long, for now,’ Earl stated, before casually starting to walk east, out through the forest.

'… Huh,' Vivia made a mildly puzzled noise at Earl’s departure, but then looked to answer the “sorry to spearhead” thing. 'It’s no problem, I was planning on wandering pretty aimlessly myself, seeing the sights and so. The shrine, huh. Silent Shrine in Silent Forest, where a hero in the past is said to have prayed in order to get the support of different guardians to fight off a monster that had appeared on the Pureplains. Since then it’s been a tradition for young trainers to pray at the shrine for their success, indeed, they say every champion of Isson has prayed at the shrine at some point or another…' Vivia smirked. 'I’d like to go there, so sure.'

And then they were off, Vivia taking most her Pokémon back to their Pokéballs for the moment. Then, they walked through the South Silent Forest again… however, Skylar has pretty much seen every kind of Pokémon that appears in this part of the forest. As such, here’s a list.



With that, coming from the south, they eventually arrived at…


As Naja took on the defensive, she somewhat got aware of the others of her team going on the offensive. She noted Llexe launching herself in, and… so violent! It wouldn’t normally be an issue, honestly Naja herself was equally violent, but Naja had just thrown her target out the building specifically to avoid hurting the any part of the shop, the floor included! … She has claws on those gauntlets, huh. It did look like Llexe took a pretty bad hit, but she seemed utterly unaffected so perhaps she didn’t even need to dodge that.

Light was playing with some of them and Christopher was engaging a few outside. Meanwhile, Kiyoshi was moving to take apart some opponents with his sword… though not literally, she was observing. Somewhere out there Sam acted as a literal wall that their opponents just couldn’t escape against.

With those monsters outside, Llexe in here threatening to kill them and Kiyoshi swinging a sword with movements like a blur, it somehow came to be that the few remaining, panicked gang-members saw the muscular cyborg as their best chance. Honestly, she wasn’t sure if they were wrong. If they somehow took her down, they’d have hostages. Which, of course, was the very reason Naja placed herself here.

Two of them were running in to punch her. Their simple plan was that coming from two directions made them more likely to win. It made sense, but their style… it was untrained. This was just sad.

Rule number one of taking on multiple opponents… take them on one by one. Before they reached her, she sprung forth to meet the one on her right, fists raised to punch. He raised his fists to guard his face… so Naja punched him once in the gut with her right hand, doubling the guy before her second fist struck him him in the face, knocking him out, and the hand in his gut held onto his clothing so he didn’t fly into the wall.

The second guy pursued her to strike her from the side. Naja spun towards him, still holding attacker #1 in her right hand as her right metal foot flew up to almost strike her opponent’s head. He blocked it with his left arm, but his whole guard cracked after blocking Naja’s high-power metal leg. He shouted, and was about to career into the wall of the store’s goods… when Naja jumped from left to right leg bringing up her left leg in a swift kick into the man’s side from the other side, nullifying his movement and knocking him out. Her left hand quickly flew forth to grab him by his clothing before he fell into anything.

‘You’re safe for now, we got you,’ Naja told the couple as she gently put the two Tunnel Snakes on the floor, no harm done to the store on her expense. Nobody took her on after that.

+2 KOs. Total: 13 KOs, 3 injured, 1 winded and 1 fighting Light. 2 unaccounted for, but they’re probably pretty scared by now.
The giant was a man of few words as well, but for a different reason, it felt like to Naja. Not that it mattered. Then there was the feminine male ninja. … And, it made sense that Kiyoshi interested her- er, him. Christopher Falcon, 35th successor. Darn, that’s a long history.

Eve spoke again… and suggested something horrifying. That childish team-building activity that was sure to become exceedingly awkward!? Naja’d rather fight every single one of them in a row! She almost felt her hairs stand on end… when there was a furious knock, and they were spared from partaking in such an embarrassing activity. Naja breathed out in relief.

… So, the Tunnel Snakes were causing a stir of trouble? How bothersome of them. Well, it was about to be their unlucky day, as they were about to be hit from nowhere by the unified force of what was probably one of the most accomplished teams of fighters on the planet, formed that very same day. Much better than what Eve was about to suggest.

‘We’re on it,’ Naja told, before turning to the team. Alright, there was something here.

______

Naja was more or less in the middle of the street when she looked in and realized the man was about to punch the women. Gritting her teeth, she directed one hand behind her and charged her chi. With a powerful blast the blue chi of her Bolstered Spear shot out at nothing, propelling Naja so she was launched past the whole group of surprised thugs to land behind the main offender, leaving behind a trail of blue chi which quickly faded from visibility.

The cyborg had calculated it so she slowed down just as she approached her target from behind, and there she gripped his raised arm in a mechanized, hard grip. She swung around, twisting his arm as she threw him over her back, sending him careering out past his squad and sliding over the asphalt before finally slamming his head into a pole on the opposite side of the street.

Naja lightly rolled her shoulders for a second as her enemies processed what had just happened, before putting up her metal arms and legs in a defensive savate stance, herself between the thugs and the two women.

‘Alright… let’s warm up,’ she casually stated.

Now, with all likelihood, the rest of the team was already going through their enemies. Still, Naja just wanted to ensure she got in place to block the path to the two innocents first. Now it was just a manner of kicking and knocking out any goons trying to approach the civilians or herself while the rest finished off this barely-mentionable band of thugs.

1 KO.


Naja nodded as she was addressed by Eve. She also acknowledged that numbers did, in fact, mean something, but it just meant you had to be smart about it. ‘… If they control this much of the city then they’ve got the money to hire strong fighters. If they aren’t challenges themselves, they’ll bring some as soon as we start tearing them apart,’ Naja stated as she stood up, her back straight as she turned to look at the rest.

‘Well met, Kiyoshi,’ Naja told the blade-wielder, idly wondering if he had methods to avoid killing. It was a problem Naja’d have to struggle with herself, on their own her blows had more than enough strength to end lives, but for a weapon-wielder? Then, there was Light… who wasn’t human. Naja blinked at her a bit in surprise at this revelation, though didn’t make any sounds. After having processed her a bit, she came to the conclusion that was entirely fine. ‘It’s nice to meet you, Light,’ she replied. Then… the other woman. Llexe. A single word. It’d do. Actually, Naja respected the woman’s efficiency. If talking wasn’t her strong point, then getting it over with without a fuzz was admirable. ‘Llexe,’ Naja said, simply to affirmate that she had heard and approved. Then she prepared to speak herself.

‘I am Naja, tireuse of savate and practitioner of baji quan, as well as wielder of mechanized strength. I’m skilled and strong, no need to look out for me unless our enemies are on the same level. If any of you are interested in sparring to get to know each other better, then I’m willing to try you out when we have free time. … We’ll get by alright,’ she told the last specifically as Light bounced by, somewhat unimpressed by her attitude but it was overall harmless. She got a handshake from a metal hand, no problem. A small instinct to perform the natural Swiss greeting went through Naja’s mind, though she suppressed it. It wasn’t a thing in the states, after all. Maybe if they got to know each other better. Maybe.
Naja, dressed in a white tank-top and simple black shorts, was walking into the building with her mechanical augmentations visible for all to see. She didn’t look much at her fellow fighters, she didn’t have much reason to as of yet. The bottom of her mechanic legs still wore shoes, so she didn’t make more sound than regular as she walked. For a team of fighters all across the world, only one of them really looked as she had expected them to, which was the giant among them. However, Naja knew not to underestimate the amount of weird that could amount to power in this world. After all, she thought as she flexed her metallic fingers, she was one of the weird ones. Could it actually be that the weird outpowered the classic look? … Naja would be very disappointed if so.

So this was Eve Roulette. Indeed, knowing her age Naja found herself remarkably impressed by the woman’s appearance, instantly earning some level of respect from the cyborg. Very well. Naja sat down in one of the couches, put one leg over the other and placed her hands together, listening to the woman. She had expected the nature of their mission, ever since she’d heard she’d be heading for New Carona. 5000$... While a lot to a citizen, it wasn’t much compared to the cost of the metal limbs which Naja fought with. Add that to the money she regularly earned through missions and how big her “allowance” from her father was, and it was pocket money. Still, it proved the point. There was more where that came from, and Naja had reasons beyond money to fight.

Heh. No caring about paying for tables, apparently. … Huh. Big guy was clapping at the table being kicked apart. Or perhaps he was clapping because of her determination to clean up the city. In any case. Naja heard the plea, and intended to answer it. She just let a few others answer first.

‘I stand with you. Just let me know, who are the stronger known foes we’ll have to deal with? Are we just talking numbers, or will they be a real challenge?’ Naja leaned forward, placing her legs back straight as she did. Because she was indeed curious, who was there out there that could challenge them? What information could Eve give them? … Of course, Eve may have been getting there eventually, but Naja wanted to ask, anyway.

Mayra flew in through the smoke, flipping through and landing so that her legs bent her down into a squat, her tail slamming into the ground around her carried by the force of her jump. Then she looked ahead, and…

‘Eh?’ Mayra came to a complete stop when she arrived through the smoke, seeing Tonya and Alex and Lucifer and the blob and whatever else. None of which she actually knew. So, they were definitely firing upon one another, and there was fire and monsters and… This strangely skimpily dressed woman who asked her to state her business.

‘My business? Er, I kinda don’t have a business. I mean, I do, but it’s not my business, I do work for others occasionally, but mostly I do what I want, but that’s just free time, not business~!’ Mayra laughed a bit. ‘That aside! I’m Mayra McCullough, and I’m here to fight! I thought there’d be more. Huh. Anyway! Who should I fight!? The guy, the girl, you, all of you!? I honestly can’t tell! Hahaha!’ The scaly monster-girl smiled eagerly, standing up with the yellow patterns and her hair heating up, fire sparkling off her as she prepared to do battle looking at the confrontation between Tonya and Alex, her legs gathering power to potentially launch.

She wasn’t throwing her fire or launching just yet. She hadn’t decided on her target yet.

@Joshua Tamashii Special note on your area, AFTER you read the main post. The thing that is going on right now is using Amelia's memories. That is to say, if there's something I write that you find extremely incorrect, you may correct me. Still. This is what it'd do, so.
