[Galaxy Raider]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*Holds my sword above me as you make contact, and a charged knife shoots from an orb just behind your head*

@Memory

*Tilts my head to the side and lets it cast itself into some nearby rubble still in the air, as I flip and kick from the point where my feet are on your head and into the blade you held above it, sending it flying upwards*

@Galaxy Raider

*Waves my hand, directly spearing it into your body*

@Memory

*Continuing my flipping motion, maneuver under it and thrust my foot straight upward, shattering the blade*

@Galaxy Raider

*Momentum-absorbing knives begin to sporadically fire from the orbs, some missing and others landing as they predict your movements—when they strike, they accelerate rapidly through your body*

[Ignacious]

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Seven additional waves shoot at you from different angles without apparent movement on my part*

@Memory

*despite my movements being slow, I shift my body and swing at the wave so that they deflect off my body or I reflect them back to you*

@Memory

*An effect on the flames around you like wind blowing in my direction begins. Similarly, my aura flows toward you in the same way, and you feel physically pulled toward me at a rate that starts small but explodes rapidly in force, pulling you into the path of some of your own blades while I maneuver around the blades*

@Memory

*Maneuvers between the orbs, dashing them with my blade and pumping them with energy that detonates*

@Ignacious

I'll give you credit, Gajeel. You can survive well when your allies keep you alive.

@Galaxy Raider

*Taps each one to dematerialize it, and the smoldering arms of another entity's soul slam into you*

@Valiance

*They spiral into a tornado and emit fast-moving claymores*

@Memory

*It impacts my aura and finds it to be a rock-solid wall that only slightly compresses it on impact, while also burning it. I finally land on the ground again with grace. I kick up a rock, catch it, and beam it at you with a sidearm throw*

@Galaxy Raider

*Swiftly shifts to my left and closes the distance for the spiritual entity to grab you, clawing into your aura*

@Memory

*It swipes through it just like a real person would run their and through a flame, and it becomes ignited as well. I push off the ground and jet toward you with a boom that shakes the ground, striking you square in the chest in your motion to dodge the rock*

@Galaxy Raider

*One of the floating hands grabs my ankle as I use the distance closure to cleave upward into your chest, while your attack blows a hole in my own*

@Memory

It takes all of them to do a little bit of what I can do, I am not impressed.

@Ignacious

I'm the one you should impress.
*Knives scream past you in all directions that absorb and redirect your momentum, bouncing you between them like a pinball before the final blow shoots you into the planet, knocking its axis off-tilt*

@Memory

*each hit makes a ringing noise that gets louder and louder with the final blow making ear shattering boom, shortly after impacting the planet a massive boom shakes the planet and I come rocketing into you in a blur, punching your chest and a massive black and red energy drill smashes into your back at the same time creating a massive explosion*

@Ignacious

*Meets the point of your drill with the point of my knife, pushing back against your own strength for several seconds*

*One of the floating hands grabs my ankle as I use the distance closure to cleave upward into your chest, kwhile your attack blows a hole in my own*

@Memory

*Takes the slash and quickly thrusts my arm through the hole in your chest, grabbing you by the throat with my other hand and tackling you to the ground with my weight, pinning you there*

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

As long as it’s not helping him.

@Valiance

Probably good enough, dontcha think?
*Flicks the device onto my wrist*

@Galaxy Raider

*Slices through your own arm and kicks you into the air as the hole in my chest closes*

[Dark Cloud]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*The already-unstable dimension warps and wobbles beneath the force of the strike, and I meet your arm with a swift kick, compounded with boosted force*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*The dome resonates unusually with the attacks, as if it belonged to an entity other than me, and under the combined forces of both of your attacks, reality splits, tearing into and shredding its underlying structure*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

I expect you to keep up.
*Materializes on the other side of your body holding my sword out, having used my knife’s effect to cut with a wave of force in the intervening moment*

@Memory

*As the tear in reality rips beneath my being I pass my hand along the flat of my blade and all along the edges of the now fractured space-time split several spindly tendrils of a corruptive organism wrap themselves in between the physical and metaphysical reality of the broken continuum then as if siphoning something the black organism disappears back into the blade and into my physical being. My body contorts and reverberates with energy, flooding the existing amaranthine with something like a thought. That feels strong and bloodthirsty.*
...
*A moment passes as I writhe, the purplish glow around my being growing dark and tangibly distorted. My arm hangs to my side with the other resting atop my blade. I look up, eyes burning with a bright violet tinge beneath my mask and I take a ragged breath.*
Perish.
*In the fraction of a microsecond our blades become crossed once more this time though the force behind my attack far stronger than any made before fracturing reality more and more. I overpower your counterattacks, break your stance at every turn. Mimic your every move, relentlessly following you and striking with growing intensity.*
