<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Presses my hands against my chest*
Insulted you'd say such a thing.

Nonono, none of this "how could you ever believe I would—" I've seen it
*Thrusts my hand forward in emphasis*
Too much. You agree outright.

Sure, say that. But you don’t get popular by killing your audience. Where’s yours?

I have a real job.

*The projectile reflects off a previously-transparent barrier that reveals itself on contact, and the bottom side of the floating structure begins to shift as parts move around*

*The crowd roars in excitement at the first attack, and I snap my fingers as the speakers around center stage begin to play what sounds like drums at the start of a song*
Could have fooled me. You’re dressed like you live in a box.

*Flicks my thumb across the handle of the gun and fires a small black bead with the same trajectory as the beam, this time exploding into smoke as soon as it hits the barrier*

*Phases back into the main area*

Took you long enough.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*The aura coming from it emits such a strong repulsive force to attack that it slows your swing at it to a crawl, and the drill drops a cube from a compartment on one side squarely onto the floor and begins to unfold and self-assemble*

Intersesting.

*forms a small dot on amaranthine on my finger, compresisng it exponentially, and fires it like a dart into the side of the drill faster than the human eye can blink, using part of the compressed energy to ehnace the speed of the projectile. Upon impact with the side of the drill, it would expand like shrapnel within, bouncign around haphazardly in a violent manner*

But not interesting enough.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Flips my sword to a forward-facing position and jettisons its point directly into your back, its edge engulfed in muted, black flames*

*It clinks against an unseen force keeping it a mere inch away from my back, the spot of contact glowing a soft purple*

You actually thought that'd work?

*turns toward you, extending my hand as a cube-like prison of amaranthien forms aorund you, and i close my hand into a fist, and it sowly begins to close*

Lets see how you handle a small dose of inevitablity.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

They’re here for an artifact Dane found. If we can get him off the world... there’s a chance we could save everyone!

You're a bit long on the tooth for that one. You know, how about we play a little game? For every word you speak from this point on, I'll take an inch of skin from Dane. Maybe that'll teach you to shut your mouth.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

If they're there to wipe out the world, there's nothing to be done about it with the little manpower there seems to be, other than lose more than we have to.

This guy gets it.

... however. I do have a proposition for you. The very same one I gave to Dane, before he attempted to take my life. This existence is dying, Melody. A quick run of statistics of the known portions of existence shwo a gradual decline since the peak of creation. Your rulers are failing you. And to be honest, I'm quite fed up with their complete imcompetence. Existence needs someone to intervene. Someone willing to unite and protect all who wish to move into a true golden age. That could be you, should you agree.

*The dart becomes suspended in a small area of space that is quickly converted into Brinkspace before being dissolved into nothing, and my voice addresses you from the drill device itself*
I'm no Nemid, but you and him? Cut from the same cloth, in more ways than one.

*Transmits the room number to you*

The sacrifice of a few to benefit the majority... that was always an acceptable deviation from the original plan. The truth is... I want what my counterpart shinji wants. A united existence to the benefit of all. The way we differ? I have no moral constraints to the manner in which I accomplish my goal.

*drags my fingertips across the sidewall as I slowly walk toward you, feeling the smooth, painted surface of drywall*

Shinji would gladly throw his ambition and his very life away at the expense of his goal. Call it a moral compass. I call it bullshit. Its just another obstacle in the way. The Golden Path will come to pass, and I will usher in a golden age unlike that in which existence has ywt to have seen. My only question is.. where do you fit in? Will you join us? Unite against the opressors and remove the Tier Five? Or will you aid a man on his deathbed due to his allegiance to the tyrants?

Not sure what a Nemid is, but it must have been weaker than me. What allegiance do you claim? Are you a friend of those in the Tier Five?
