*The crystal, not long after its coloration dullens, begins to unpredictably absorb space around it, attempting to suck in reality, people, and everything indiscriminately at a gradually increasing rate*

*Speaks relieved as I contort my manipulated Brinskpace to shield the gem, but not in a full sphere around it, allowing it to have its way with reality*

You
*Notices my grip slipping*
...Fine.
*A series of pinpoint lights travel from my body to yours*

<Snipped quote by Source>

I want it to end.

*Tosses the crystal high into the air and throws two daggers into it*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I want to go!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Shields my face from it so I can keep sight of you*
I never had to hurt anyone anywhere else...
*The absorbing effect of the crystal continues to increase*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Several crystals dance around me, all emitting a similar effect*
Is that so?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Don't make me... Just let me end it.
*A foreboding presence projects itself across the cosmos*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

As you wish. Override code: Counterfeit Hurricane.
*Casts off my cloak, resulting in a pressure exerted in the surrounding area*
