The European Tour

Edge: <Nothing suspicious at all! Let's go!>

Kelphy: <No, no... that is very strange. What are we going to do?>

Airport Clerk: <Un minuto.>

-----

ShadowMan: <Hey.>

*They continue at it.*

=====

???: <Roll, remember there were two Hollow Wardens. The other one was up ahead.>

Roll: <Yeah, yeah, I didn't forget. On my way.>

*She salutes Minato and runs ahead.*

<Well follow her Starman>

"On it!" Starman follows Roll.

---

"Your Leeroy Jenkins tendencies are getting old Edge. Stop, and for once, think."

---

"Lend me your power Shadowman!"

Edge: <Eh? But what's there to be suspicious of? 3 seats, man! It's just dumb luck, that's all!>

Kelphy: <P-Please don't fight...>

Airport Clerk: <Treinta segundos.>

-----

ShadowMan: <I don't know what that mea-->

*He gets punched to the ground.*

=====

*Roll looks back and frowns.*

Roll: <Are you stalking me?>

"My net op is having me follow you." Starman says professionally.

---

"We aren't fighting"

---

"Give me your navi data. Its the same as me using a navi chip. It'll let me use Navi Style to mimic your abilities!"

Edge: <Heh, that's a laugh.>

Airport Clerk: <Un segundo!>

Kelphy: <...We get it!>

-----

ShadowMan: <...Yeah, sure, go ahead.>

*He holds a hand out to Axl.*

=====

Roll: <...So you're saying your NetOp's the one doing the stalking?>

"My net op lacks sexual desire. I think that's required for stalking"

---

Axl "tags in" before assuming Shadowman's form.

---

"Yes."

Edge: <So what are we going to do, then?>

Kelphy: <Alto, could you take us there?>

Airport Clerk: <Tic tac. Tic tac. Tic tac. Tic tac. Tic tac.>

-----

Roll: <You'd be surprised.>

*They arrive near the others. The Hollow Warden jabs at the downed ShadowMan, but teleports to him and pulls him away from danger.*

Roll: <You need to get out of here!>

Razz: <I can't jack him out!>

*The Hollow Warden fires a barrage of ice shards at Roll before teleporting a ways behind Axl-ShadowMan, blowing a blizzard at him.*

*Edge leans in to the group.*

Edge: <[Guys, I think that clerk wants us to get on.]>

Shadow Axl splits into three shadowy images dodging the attack.

"The Calvary has arrived!!"

---

"I can of course"

*Kelphy chuckles and shakes her head to Edge.*

Kelphy: <(I think you're right, Edge...!)>

*She then nods to Alto, still smiling.*

-----

*The Hollow Warden releases and energy wave outwards that freezes everything (the floor) it blows over, nearing all of the NetNavi.*

Shadow Axl reappears behind the warden and slashes at it with one of Shadowman's katana.

Starman grabs Roll, bridal carry style, and leaps skyward using star shaped platforms to jump high up.

---

"Agreed"

Edge: <Then let's get going! One way or the other we've gotta get to it.>

*Outside the airport, after walking away from a very angry-looking clerk, they're hanging out waiting for Alto to do his thing.*

Kelphy: <How is the battle going?>

-----

*ShadowMan's frozen by the wave. The Hollow Warden takes the hit to the chest before appearing above Shadow-Axl, swinging a giant ice hammer at him.*

Roll: <What do you think you're doing?!>

Edge: <Hmph. Battle... we don't need any stinkin' battle! Right, Spider?>

Spider: <You're alone there. I would've loved to participate, personally. I think you're just jealous.>

Edge: <Oh, shut it!>

"I can't tell. I won't be able to until Axl sends himself back. I can't even send him chips"

---

"Giving us the high ground" he puts her down on the star platform he was standing on. The perfect vantage point for some roll arrow shooting.

Shadow Axl gets hit but turns into a dummy before the real Axl reappears above the battle field and launches three shuriken at the warden.

*Like I said, they're waiting for Alto to do his thing.*

Kelphy: <So.. c-can you help us fly back to Seabreeze?>

=====

*The Warden turns, exhaling a freezing breath and shattering the frozen shuriken with a swing of her staff before appearing above Shadow-Axl and blasting energy into his back.*

"I said I could a few minutes ago. I already sent the message out. It'll be a few. Don't worry Kelphy"

---

Shadow-Axl splits into three shadowy images again. Its amazing how much better he used Shadowman's skills.
