*takes note of your movement after the kick, jetting into the air to send down a couple of small energy blasts aimed at your feet to knock off your balance*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Continues to move, flowing away from the blasts like water through a sieve*

Ah, so that's what I was missing...

*Chuckles as I continue flowing from one stance to the next, the land around me warping this way and that until, finally, I have it under control*

Who knew all it took was a life or death scenario to get the hang of?

*Moves into my final stance, my feet planted and palms facing the ground, while a visible aura of shadow envelopes my form with the only light left being that ethereal glint cast by my remaining eye*

Finally... my astral body is now fully under control.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Come on!
*The boot structures activate an embedded set of lasers, which propel me toward the planet at breakneck speeds*

<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>

*laughs*

Life or death? Really? I've pushed you to that point already?

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Briefly activates my ability to generate bursts of speed before disabling it again*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*The missile finally make contact as my fragments continue to fall, some of the having reached the ground in places already, and detonate to bath you in a sea of radioactive fire*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Appears next to you, skirting along the ground away from the expanding consumption, while facing it and moving backwards*
We were hoping to have a little more time. There's no more opening, is there?

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*The radioactivity burns away at my flesh, and I hit the ground with the sound of crunching bones; as quickly as I go down, I stand back up surrounded by colors and start running toward anybody else affected by the blast*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*My fragments by this point have slithered off in numerous directions, changing their shapes as they do so to mimic the local flora, fauna, and animal life of the planet. The fallout, meanwhile, will only linger overhead for a few hours at most. Or at least until scrubbing teams are sent up to cleanse the lower and upper atmosphere of radioactive particulate. Meanwhile on the ground, teams of heavily armed soldiers have already started to comb the area in which you crashed*

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Starts toward the soldiers*
Hey! Are you all okay??

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

It doesn’t seem that way. And I’m in no shape for combat.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Their gazes snap to you, and they take aim*

Stay where you are, and get on your knees! NOW!!

<Snipped quote by Source>

*My expression grows more stern*
Still have that gem?

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Hey, are you all okay?? Any radiation poisoning?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*The aura lessens and dims to the point of nonexistence, revealing a much calmer and more tranquil visage beneath. Striding foward, I approach you*

<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>

*smirks*

Let's see what you've got, tough guy.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

*Grimaces*
Yes, I have it. Can you take it where it needs to go?

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Grabs your arm and pulls you along, helping you stay ahead*
There’s nowhere to get it. This is it.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*The soldiers flick their safeties off one after the other*

We won't ask you again! Get on your knees or you will be shot!
