First thing you think of when I say that is power? Should say enough. I don’t care about you. Goodbye.

*Quickly scrambles to my feet and runs deeper into the hospital, the darts collapsing the wall behind me*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*part of me splits off into a full other me, following you*

Melody, it really doesnt have to end this way.. I want to see you strive and overcome all obstacles in your way and live triumphantly for the rest of eternity. Thats all I wish for the entirety of existence. Why must everyone be so narrow minded? Would it kill you to consider the possibilities?

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Swipes my hand through the stone wall, which crumbles at my touch while the rest of it breaks off into jagged chunks that fire into your limbs, torso, and neck with no apparent pattern, while I grip onto the other wall for support*
Never touch my gun.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*While the projectiles may not have had a pattern upon initial firing, they seem obligated by some outside force have their strikes at me timed with the music, allowing me to leap between and off them equally as rhythmically*
But the people love it, Joe! You’re a natural!
*Throws my hands up as a massive array of pyrotechnics is let off, sending the crowd into an uproar chanting “Joe” repeatedly*

*Scratches my forehead with the gun barrel*
Cannot believe you're doing this.

*Audibly gasps*
I have always wanted to do this!
*Claps my hands to the song, which causes Gio's heartrate to sync up with the beat*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Power is a hell of a thing, boy.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

This is getting boring.

*dissapears, and a portal opens up beside you, a fist the size of a mack truck pummels through at you, smashing you through the wall, and I jump through to you, hands in my pockets as I nonchalantly walk toward you*

You remind me of someone. Sven was his name, I believe. Ill tell you,that interaction was oscar worthy. You shpuldve seen his face when he realized not even his family was safe from me. Fear is an excellent tool to use in war, because while power is great, without fear, reasoning and shows of force, all that power means nothing.

Having fun is great. The crowd can really feel it.
*Whirring can be heard from the underside of the stage, where things were shifting before*
Just as important to not forget the stakes though, either!
*A triumvirate of gigacannons manifested underneath unleash a cascade of explosive laser bolts into the mountainside of the base*

The stakes are the only thing that matters!
*Fires seven blasts of light into your body from alternating guns, capping the sequence off with a triplet blast to below your chin, then kicks off of your torso and slams the guns together in one beat, charges an enhanced double-barrel blast the next two, and unleashes the attack on the fourth*

On it!
*Flies over to the cannons and looks for structural weaknesses or single points of failure that would disable the lasers*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Each blast bursts against my person creating a cloud of smoke that gets louder with each impact, completely enveloping me, but after a moment I swipe my arm through the air and dispel the smoke in one motion while posing confidently*
You sure you haven’t done this before?

*There seems to be no point of access to them as they also lie within the confines of the one-way barrier*

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Launches off of the remains of the stone wall and flicks a metal bead into the air, which morphs into a crude but razor-sharp blade in my hand, all in rhythm*
I avoid crashing parties.
*Slices the blade against you, paying close attention to the flexibility and stability of your body*

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Hums to myself as blue points of light trace patterns across the barrier's surface, analyzing its makeup and structure, searching for means to unravel it from the outside as I would a spell*
