*furrows my brow then side steps diagonally opposite of the swing, my free hand slightly forward ready to grapple while I hold the knife backwards closer to my body*

@Asce

*drops my blade using my free hand to grasp the blade, spinning around to elbow you in the chest, and spins back around facing you to kick you offf of me*

*The bonds on my wrists dissolve and I point my pistol at your face*
Don’t give me th—

@Nimda

*Uses the temporary platforms I was creating throughout the fight as shields for as many partygoers as I can*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Snap-possesses Gio to rapid-fire as many protection spells around the crowd as we can muster with the magic we had collected during combat, rapidly exhausting our available pool with a low-rumble sound like distorted, continuous gunfire*

@Session

*Through inexplicable means, the blasts ignores virtually every barrier, whether it be manifested energy or the very floor, vaporizing anything and everything and everyone it touches that doesn’t possess superhuman durability, leaving holes in the floor of the vessel that breach into its electrical inner-workings and even all the way through the bottom in some spots*

*Doesn't meddle in any other way except for my attempts to break it down and convert it to magic when it reaches me*

@Nimda

*Nothing prevents you from defending yourself like that, and when the dust settles, I stand in the midst of where the crowd once stood- charred, exhasuted, and with my shoulders slumped*

@Unhinged

*Singed and exhausted, inhales deep breaths in a wide pose with one fist resting on the ground between my legs*
What... was that?

[Spiritblitz]

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Hm...
*Kneels down and traces your path*
Yes, but you'd only want to strike the same future from two different pasts if you're going to attack someone who can travel into the past. But you can also...
*Draws another line next to the two that intersect, but this one stops right next to the other two*
Fire into two different spots in the future, and pick whichever one lands as your true past. You have to be very careful if you're going to create multiple branching timelines, though.

@Techspert

*stares into it*

Is that about what you were getting at?

@Nimda

*Clenches my fist*
Why don’t you tell me?! What in the world did you do?!

@Inimical

I had nothing to do with that! You asked us not to hurt the crowd!

*Grabs you by the shirt collar*
Don't play stupid, boy! I don't know what kind of magic you were using, but now...

Now, nothing.
*Floats down from the air above, in front of the brother in orange*
Now, only consequences.

@Nemeses

Is this convenient vindication?

@Nimda

It is what it is. I was hoping to not need to come at all, but some people have made some very, very stupid decisions today. Not the least of which, is turning a battleground into a spectator sport with little safety precautions besides word of honor.
*Looks down at the brother in front of me*
You couldn't fabricate a tale of more arrogance.

@Nemeses

So you come in and wipe them all out instead?

@souleaterfan320

*stumbles back from the force of the elbow and when you kick me I grab your leg and slam you into the ground*

@Nimda

That’s the spin you’re going to try and go with?
*Shakes my head*
The energy surge came from your little spell. It’s clear as day, likely even on footage- if there are any cameras left.
*Kneels down next to him and turns my gaze to him*
You’re the brains of your little duo. You understand there is one, and only one path to making up for this.
