<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

No!

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*The Singularity stops in place and rumbles with gradually increasing instability*

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Watches, my eyes unfocused on the Singularity*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*It slowly shrinks and eventually dissipates to nothing, leaving only me in a clearly altered state, heaving for breath and clothes tattered*
That... Is not... A black hole...
*Bends over and puts my hands on my knees*

<Snipped quote by Asce>
Mierno:
Easy.

*the entire arena rocks with violent power. Bright flashes of black and white light cut through the air like scissors through paper, with electric purple energy weaving throughout*

I'll kill you with one go.

*raises my arm*
Kugelblitz.

*a black hole appears in my hand, absourbing all of the energy in the surrounding area*

....AP Shot.

*it warps within my hand, collapses, then an impossibly bright flash of energy carreens out from me, ripping through the entire dimension and all the molecules within it, colliding into you with a vicious ferocity*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Erza.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Rushes over to you*
Are... are you okay?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Nods*
Yeah.
*Looks at my hand and shakes my head*
I definitely would have said “ow” if my ability to do so wasn’t impeded by all that unyielding agony. That thing definitely instantly kills just about anything out there that isn’t me, so I’m glad it wasn’t you in there.
*Wipes blood from a cut on my lip, cheek, and chin, respectively*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What about... what about Artahe?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

...

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Tenses my fingers as I clench and unclench my fist several times, my eyes drooping a bit*
I did the thing. It was a race to see if I would contain him first, or if his ultimate move would kill me first.
*Chuckles and floats a bit off-balanced*
Obviously, I won.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

You... need to rest.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Nope.
*Shakes my head*
Nope, no time to rest. Gotta stay conscious to keep him sealed up. Gotta kill Nemid. Let’s go.
*Staggers into a flight path off into space*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Follows behind you*
If you get hurt, Artahe will escape. You need to conserve your energy.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

If I rested, I’d be giving him the satisfaction that he was strong enough to phase- hugh...
*Convulses and tenses up momentarily*
To phase me. He doesn’t get that. Not some sidekick.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

That satisfaction is much better than everyone dying because you pushed yourself too far.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Dane: *glances over to you two*

Are you two okay?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

That satisfaction is much better than everyone dying because you pushed yourself too far.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Musters a pained laugh*
You don’t get me, that’s for sure.
*Runs a hand through my hair*
Not a chance that I would go down if it weren’t at least to the head honcho. No way I’m gonna sit out if I could make the difference against said head honcho. Even if I were burning alive right now, I’d be going... Sure feels like it.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

But in your state, that could easily lead to everyone dying. Our best bet is to sit out of that fight.
