Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shiro of course had instinctively brought up his hands summoning Kanshou and Bakuya both, proceeding to do the same and flicking open his own element grid, instead of Photon Beam though, he chose Omega White to do some significant amount of damage as well, wincing a bit when he took a laser to the arm however, thankfully it didn't hit anything vital to make it move, so he could still use it, however, when he heard the chair turning around, he'd look to Roveth, who had his eyes shadowed and looking entirely too calm despite the fact a pissed off machine was in front of him, but it would show he wasn't calm at all, as he brought up his hands, and flicked out various tools to hold between his fingers, looking up with that spark in his eyes "... uhm... i think FATE just met her match." Shiro would say, backing up a bit to let Roveth have room.

Axel of course would work to use his blue flames and chakrams to form a fire barrier against the lasers and at least kept Xion protected, since he knew Roxas could easily dodge any attacks left by that crazy machine, granted, seeing Roveth get into a weird state like he was, he was keeping whoever was close by out of his way at the moment "okay, i've seen him angry, i've seen him absolutely livid, this... this is new. i do not know if i like this." her said warily himself, while at least blocking lasers when need be.

Roveth however just got up from his seat, still holding the tools, and now had a creepy smile adorning his face with the twinkle eye and the tools in hand "oh my my my.. such an advanced AI and with a naughty attitude at that! seems i need to give you.. some persuasion." he'd say all too cheerily as if he was about to inflict massive pain or suffering on someone with a smile, and then would proceed to leap into the air and at FATE, tools in hand, readying and planning to dismantle FATE once and for all, for not only Lucca's revenge, but in a way, everyone's revenge, since it seemed the robot never learned.

Shiro of course sweat-dropped, both at Roveth's whirlwind dervish'ing around Fate and systematically reducing it more and more into component parts, hard-drives, so on, before looking to Crystal a bit and nodded lightly in agreement to most of what she said about the Frozen flame, and then just sweat-dropped once more at Crystal's mention of his... skills with sailing "i'm not that bad Crystal, well, at least i'm not as bad as probably some other swordsmen in the past sailing a boat. (Cue Zoro sneezing and grumbling about cutting whoever actually was talking about him behind his back.)" he said while frowning, clearly not remembering the countless times he fell off the boat when it rocked -just- right, not to mention the times he did get the two of them lost, say they were heading for Arni village, it'd be common that they'd end up in Marbule or the Dragon Fortress and all. of course, he then would narrow his eyes lightly, looking at Crystal "wait why do i need to brush up on my sailing skills? i mean we aren't going to separate are we?" he asked, while wondering what Crystal was up to.

Axel would chuckle a bit, sweat-dropping at Roxas's mention of him being glad he wasn't a machine, before snorting "truthfully i am glad i am flesh and blood thank you, not that it makes much difference should i accidentally piss Roveth off, those malicious shadows of his are -no joke-." he said, shaking his head, before looking back to roveth's dismantling and just snort-giggled once more, it did make the battle so underwhelming having someone so inherently good with technology and -wanting- to learn more.

Roveth of course would definitely not stop, in fact, once haste and Slow were enacted appropriately, he just went full speed then, literally dancing around FATE's attacks without even coming to harm, even looking like he was leaving after-images, while he'd take apart that weapon, shut down that processor, gut that harddrive, so on, in fact, it'd take all of 10 minutes tops, once Roveth got the pattern down for dismantling with efficiency at high speed that it'd just be a -very- large pile of parts and probably an unable to function head left for FATE, as he grinned down at it "so much for you being a threat now huh? you're now 'my' property FATE, and do remember this in your hard-drive... i have every full capability of erasing your entire personality files and 'memories' of being your previous self with extreme and thorough prejudice. either way, you will no longer torment this world." he said, before looking to one piece of corrupted hardware, and with an unerring flick of his wrist, said blackened CPU and motherboard which was -part- of FATE's controls and reeking of raw darkness (probably the side of her that was also Lynx) would suddenly find itself impaled against the wall, sparking violently before powering down, by a Phillips screwdriver of all things. goes to show that even Roveth has destructive tendencies outside of mere dismantling of things. however he -did- get to work whistling for the dusks, and a good few more machine monster summonings to get to work cleaning the salvageable mess up after finding pieces which had element grids in it, keeping those for himself to study and would turn and walk back to his previous seat, sitting down and begin working on seeing if there was other, clearer recordings, or if it was possible to at least recover more of the one that had just played and all now that FATE was out of the way.

Shiro had sweat-dropped again, rubbing the back of his neck a bit while letting his mist mask form over his face to hide his embarrassment, knowing full well that his skills with sailing, compared to other things, -were- lacking. granted, he knew how to prepare and sail a boat, but his sense of direction -sucked- and he often found himself in the water due to random mishaps during the trips. ".... right well... i guess its safe to say we're onto something, as ever since we got here in Chronopolis, aside from the creepy vibe of 'i'm watching yooouuuuu' coming from the place, attributed to FATE of course, but also something... i guess the correct term would be nudging me." he said, frowning a bit within the mask "like something's trying to reach out for me, but can't do so from where it is." he said, looking towards Roveth who seemed to be looking all too amused at the mention of Shiro getting trained to sail.

Roveth of course had turned back to the others after hearing them mention Shiro and sailing, of course, he just chuckled a bit, definitely looking amused at that while letting the recordings and files and programs all start being copied onto a conveniently spare empty hard drive he was using so that they could be at least saved to be perused at their own leisure and all, as well as keep an eye on El Nido from a distance if need be. either way he just spoke up to the comment of his dark half being whipped into shape "you do know that's going to be a bit tough, given how often Shiro falls out of the boat, and/or gets himself lost hopelessly on the sea, like the time you guys were heading to meet up with that pirate Ship in this world, and somehow ended up at Marbule, or the time you were letting shiro take you two to Opassa beach by boat, and he got you hoplessly lost to the point of ending up at the shores of the Dragon Fortress?" it was clear Shiro was -definitely not the best at sailing, or at least needed a LOT of work.

Axel would look at Roveth incredulously, before shaking his head with a chuckle "sounds like those must've been hilarious adventures." he said, while Roveth nodded, and looked to Crystal a bit serious "so after we send Shiro on his way and all, what do we plan to do until he finds us again?" Roveth would hold his hand up and raised an eyebrow "i'm sorry, but i'm not continuing with everyone just yet, Chronopolis has me too intrigued to the point i want to make sure every last bit of information, knowledge, and technology has been absconded from this place back to Twilight Town for our use and my amusement. so i will stay here coordinating that effort with the help of the ever so friendly dusks and my Machine-type monsters to haul things through and all."

Shiro would've looked all too amused at Crystal's flailing and embarrassment, but he had caught eye of Serge, and through some shuffles of body movement, a shrug, couple of headshakes, and maybe a blink or two, Shiro would at least step up to speak next "well, i don't think my sailing skills can get worse under a teacher's guidance at least, though i will say that most of any misshaps i've had happen to me on the sea were purely accidental and -not- because of me not really being the sea-faring type." he said with Axel in the background chuckling in general.

Axel of course was looking a -lot- more amused in seeing the antics of Kid and Crystal, putting his hands in his silver coat pockets with his eyes twinkling a bit "i can definitely see why you got along well with her Crystal, she is as fiesty and troublemaking as they come huh?" he teased out aloud, sure, he was kinda missing Roveth's presence, as he'd probably be using this moment as further ammo against Crystal and Roxas, and even conspire with Kid to -really- get the two of them embarrassed "they've also gotten -quite- comfortable with each other too, Kid." he'd quip out, just to see if the fireworks started flying.

Shiro sweatdropped while serge looked embarrassed, but at least shiro spoke up on things "well, there are -some- people who can't really talk for various reasons, being shy, being mute, other things like that, so they learned to develop how to speak without speaking, by using body language and their eyes." he explained, scratching his head a bit "in Kaze's case, he's a good bit socially awkward due to his.. well.. status. Serge here..." he'd glance over, catching the boy's eye, and with a couple of nods and a point in Kid's direction, Shiro would continue "is pretty much a soft-spoken individual, he will answer verbally if pressed, but tends to not do so, due to apparently after meeting Kid, she talks enough for everyone." he said, looking a bit too amused in general.

Axel just sweat-dropped and shook his head lightly "good grief, i was -wondering- if there was a reason why he was silent... and you know Shiro, why in the world would you learn and know of such a thing?" shiro of course looked embarrassed "well... for a long time, before i met my mentor, i kinda played the part of the silent individual, even after then and eventually meeting Crystal, it took a while to finally get back to speaking as if it was natural... even if i still have old habits of back then." as for that explanation, Axel would turn to Crystal, looking on in amusement "not to mention every time we bring up when you two get to sleep in the same room." he teased, while crossing his arms a bit lightly.

Axel of course cracked a wider grin "oh i could go further, but i think i've embarrassed Roxas enough at least to be content for a while." he said looking too amused, before turning serious as he motioned to Shiro "either way, you have some sailing skills to learn, so i think we should leave you to it and all." he'd said, moving off to the side to stand near Xion with an amused chuckle and all.

Shiro just shook his head at the group, looking amused himself, before starting to head off to follow serge towards the boat so they could get started on the lessons, with or without Kid since it seems she was sufficiently distracted by Crystal and the others, at least with the two of them out of the way it'd let Kid continue teasing Crystal if she so chose to and all.

thankfully for Axel's sake Roveth didn't conveniently decide he was done right that moment and came in, so he was chilling about at the Inn with Xion, chatting it up, even trying some of the Squid Gut Pasta, which to him was actually pretty tasty despite the disgusting name and all. either way it seemed Axel was going to kick back and relax since he was able to in the world, and let Roxas and Crystal do their own thing until Shiro gets back.

Shiro of course, would definitely show that while he was competent at sailing a boat, he did have a few habits that led to him getting everyone lost that'd probably take more than a few hours to correct to a point at least, not only that, there would be countless times when something so simple would send Shiro tumbling straight into the waters, even when he was sitting still and doing nothing! it seemed Kid and serge had their work cut out for them, especially with the fact thaqt Shiro at least was willing to learn and learn he did, it was just slow going with the mishapsas if Murphy was literally watching and eating popcorn with glee at how many times he was making shiro fall in the ocean.
