A burst of flames erupted from Jenso's heels which launched him behind Shaidra. He kept the same pace of the already quick moving clones while trying to blend in with them as much as possible. 'Flame dash..' He thought. Hoping that Jeff would act in time as he had suggested, he swiped his left arm at Shaidra immediately. He aimed to launch her straight to Zios.

Through some absent-minded miracle, Shaidra took the blow full force. Blup was surprised. With this, she was launched towards Zios, who was able to catch her before Yzeira could react.

Jenso bolted over towards his allies, standing beside Zios as he glared over at Yzeira. 'What now, Blup?'

Blup's voice whirred and staggered, distorted by a sudden influx.

"Blup?" Jeff's voice echoed through the link. Suddenly it went blank. The connection was cut off, and the multiple copied of Blup went silent before melting away into a viscous blue liquid. "Blup..? Blup!" Alexis had gone silent as well, her body totally limp in Zios' grasp. Yzeira stared in shock from across the tower's surface. After a brief pause, her breath returned, and her body stirred to life, but she had neither the strength or fortitude to free herself. Her power was being suppressed by Zios, without any chance of escape.

"You're incomplete." Alexis didn't respond, "But that little robotic monstrosity is now more."

Jenso glared at the captured Alexis, and looked back over at Yzeira. Blup was now gone, meaning they lost both a good friend and their strategist. The current circumstances could've been worse, but they certainly weren't fantastic either. "Time to finish this."

Yzeira tightened his stance.

"No, for once, you're right." A sudden ferocity burned in the man's eyes as they snapped from Alexis to Jenso. He slowly reached for the collar of his coat and grasped it tightly. "I've lost more than I care to admit, today." He tore the plastic-like fabric down, tearing it from his body and tossing it aside. The vicious winds wound up from the scathing energy of Yzeira's aura threw up up into the air until it was lost to the space surrounding the floating tower. "My projects, my family, and now, even my loved one fades. All because of you." A pulse of energy erupted from the surface of Yzeira's skin, tearing his shirt to shreds until his upper body was bare. The reddish hues in his hair darkened until they were nearly black. "My pride, my composure, the footholds I'd so dearly clung to in spire of the wretchedness that brims from every pore in my history." His voice began to boom louder. He rose his hands slowly until they were parallel to one another. A well of infinite energy began to rise up from the pits of his darkened soul. Alvios began to float the the ground, unable to move. His light form faded and he returned to normal. A similar effect overtook his other allies, all but Zios, who couldn't move, and refused to let Alexis go.

"Uh..." Jeff muttered aloud, slowly falling to the ground next to his allies, "Jenso?"

The only one who could stand in the wake of the gathering storm was none other than Jenso.

Jenso glared at his incredible foe, blue flames bursting violently out of his body as they clashed against the intense, roaring winds. It was as if his entire body, his entire soul, was fighting against the overbearing power before him. His eyes flickered blue viciously, and the flames around his body began to focus around one of his arms. He stood firm, refusing to let the winds get the better of him. "Time to end this madness once and for all. For the sake of me, my friends, and the multiverse." Jenso's voice boomed, as he kept building up more and more blue energy around his arm which alternated between blue flames and blue crackling electricity.

"I've cut off your friend's restorative energies," Yzeira howled, his voice growing more irate by the second. "This is your last chance." His eyes narrowed to a pair of eager slits. "No," He muttered, "This will be my last chance." Energy began to whirl around Yzeira's hands in a typhoon of madness and desperation, so brightly that it nearly blinded Jenso's allies. "My last chance to reclaim solitude."

Jenso got in a combat stance, glaring deep into Yzeira's glowing red eyes. His blue burning pupils remained unflinching, with only one goal in mind. One final goal. The blue flames around his arm began to get more intense, yet focused. It was as if the very flames themselves were roaring to be released, to be set free as the heat around Jenso's immediate vicinity began to build higher and higher.

Yzeira's mask tore away completely - piece by piece - to reveal a vicious smile. "I see it, the determination in your eyes. I see it now, different than before. But you possess nothing that I have not already conquered." He began to laugh as the energy around his fingertips crackled and burned brightly, darkening more and more until it was condensed into a single sphere of chaotic energy. "Those... Feelings, those... Emotions! Alexis knew it from the very start. They are the downfall of all who wish to attain power! They are a limiter, nothing more than a hurdle. But you embrace them so foolishly!" His eyes went wide and pulsed with streams of crimson power.



The cascading energy at Yzeira's beck and call vibrated and pulsed across the entire battlefield, cracking the ground that they stood upon and forcing it apart. Jenso's allies flinched, but kept steady despite their prone positions.



There was a flash, and the energy was unleashed in an overwhelming torrent of blood red catastrophe.

Jenso pulled his left arm back, as the blue energy began to channel towards his left hand specifically, focused into one point of crackling blue energy that rested within his palm. "A world without feelings is one not worth living!" He roared, and thrust his arm forwards in response to Yzeira's attack. A massive blue beam, bigger and more ferocious than any of the beams that he'd launched in the past moved onwards to clash with Yzeira's final attack. The end of the beam took the shape of a large dragon's head, looking to smash into it's target.

The two beam-like attacks clashed at the center of the tower's rooftop, crating a schism between the two forces of power that not only rend the tower in two, but threatened to shatter the very fabric of reality. Yzeira stood his ground, channeling more and more power into his attack while beginning to chuckle absentmindedly to himself. There was no grace to his energy like before. No precision. It was fueled by an internal conflict that he didn't quite understand himself. This was the power of chaos.

The beams seemed even at first, projecting enough sound both ways to nearly deafen their casters. A battle that the universe's very existence hinged on was going to be decided right here, right now. But in the process of fighting against the man who sought to destroy their work, Jenso was inadvertently contributing to a power source that could rend the fabric of space time much faster than Yzeira's magic ever could.

From behind, Jenso felt a hand on his shoulder. Then one on his foot. Another on his neck. Afourth on his back, and the encompassing presence of Zios all around him.

"You're matching him Jenso.." Zios' voice echoed.

"It's enough to keep him from destroying us, but..." Bruce moaned.

"That energy! It's starting to tear a hole in space time!" Jeff warned.

"If you keep this up for too long..." Alvios worried.

Jenso held his ground as well, not willing to budge an inch. That's when his allies showed up, explaining what was about to happen. He smiled at his allies, despite the mix of emotions that were whirling up within him right now. He was feeling a lot of rage and sadness, but also a lot of hope and confidence. "Right. It's time to end this." Jenso said coolly. He began to push himself further, trying to overpower Yzeira's beam. He thought back of all that Yzeira and the Order had done, and he felt his power rise. In the end, Nexus's word held true. His feelings were truly his greatest strength, while Yzeira was the exact opposite.

Seconds passed. The struggled remained even. Space warped all around them, bending the very ground that either side stood on. The air itself began to contort, looking as if it could rip apart at any second. Streams of purple energy crackled out like lightning from where the beams met, adding further destruction to their surroundings. But that only lasted for so long. Yzeira's eyes kicked into effect. Suddenly, his beam shrank down until it was slightly smaller than Jenso's, pushing his energy aside and slowly closing the distance between them.

"Even now you will fall prey to your utter lack of control, Jenso!"

Jenso grit his teeth as Yzeira's beam came closer. "Alvios.." He looked at his ally briefly, trying to match his beam with Yzeira's and to overpower it as he began to slide back. He seemed uncertain about his control, yet held firm despite it all as he kept looking at Yzeira before him. It was clear that he was struggling, but tried to stay focused on the battle at hand. "I'll never give up!" He roared at his foe.

Alvios struggled against the power that suppressed his energy, but couldn't muster anything to aid Jenso. Instead he gripped his foot tightly and shouted as loudly as he could over the beam.

"Don't panic Jenso! Remember your training! Focus your power!"

Jenso's eyes narrowed as Alvios spoke, focusing only on the energy of his beam. It began to get smaller in size to match Yzeira's, albeit haphazardly at first until he managed to focus it well enough. He began to overpower Yzeira's beam briefly, pushing it towards Yzeira's direction ever so slightly. "Got it!" He muttered to his ally.

Yzeira cringed, but his smile didn't fade. His beam halted Jenso's advance, evening out once again in an even more powerful, more focused display. Now the effects it had on reality were beginning to shine through even more viciously. Physical cracks of light began to form. Small, almost invisible to the eye, but dangerous enough to destroy anything that got too close to any of them.

"Haha, we're doing it, Jenso. Together. You'll be accountable for the end, just as much as I am."

Jeff held a firm grip on Jenso's shoulder and pulled himself closer to his friend's ear.

"Distort it, Jenso! If you match his power, it were merely expedite the process! You gotta make his energy flee!"
