[IC] Myriad Reality

[Server]

<Snipped quote by Server>

This isn't scary Jade... this is almost beautiful in a way. So lead the way. You should know yourself best. Think about your feelings and your needs. They should pave the way towards where we should go next. I presume it all must actually take place inside that lighthouse.

@The Odeoron

I'll... I'll try.
*Takes a few steps forward, and arches of bone fly up from the ocean and meet my feet at the nadir of each step, the bone descending to the raging depths when I lift my foot*

*hovers gracefully leaving a trail of warm light as i follow* That is curious... curious indeed...

@The Odeoron

I'm sorry—did I do something wrong?

[Galaxy Raider]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*three meteor sized balls of ingited plasma crash into your barrier, exploding upon impact*

Shinji: *flashes toward Adrian, slashing once again in his direction, aiming for his ribcage*

Adrian: *smirks, as both Cane and Abel appear on scene, sending waves of their own energy toward the strike, cancelling it out*

Cain: hold fast, brother. Help has arrived.

Adrian:you take... a few of them. I must... assist father.

*adrian dissapears, but the blue and purple inferno around us still remains*

Shinji: we've got them in range. Echo, Delta! Lay down suppressing fire on the big one! Abby, Kat! With me! We'll take down Cain. Clover! Target Abel!

@souleaterfan320

*My pupils constrict at the sight of Cain and Abel and I freeze in place, mouth slightly agape*

[Inimical]

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Seems to go off balance for a moment*
Woah—why didn't you do this earlier?

@Session

I did-
*Suddenly jumps to my knees in realization and bows in a nonspecific direction*

[Zealz]

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Turns my arm in a circle several times, motioning you both through*
Come on. In. In. In. Let’s go.

@Unhinged

*sprints in*

[Armed Forces]

@Session

*I turn and spin my blade in a full circle rapidly as a black beam whizzes past your head*

@Unhinged

Right, right.
*enters the portal*

@Zealz

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Right, right.
*enters the portal*

@Ignacious

*Looks up as I move afterward but wastes no time in following you both, and the portal leads into the woods back on Ilouro with seemingly no one around*

@Galaxy Raider

Shinji: *notices your hesitation*
Kat, are you alright?

@souleaterfan320

They were there... It was them.

@Galaxy Raider

Shinji:*looks perplexed, but locks in*

Stay close. Do not leave my side.

*our rings sync up with each's current status*

@souleaterfan320

*Clenches my fists with enough tension that my arms shake, and I nod*
Right.

[Magnanimity]

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Shakes my head*
My aunt did those a lot though.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

His name is Mierno...

@Server

I know the name. He's associated with them...

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Regardless, everything is interconnected. The mind works with emotions, emotions act as the bridge between the mind and the soul, the soul operates through the subconscious and via the subconscious acts as a link to the spirit and the consciousness itself. It all is kindof like web of zigzag connections.

<Snipped quote by Server>

No worries then, it will be alright. And Mierno... i don't know that name. But doing something like this to even the worse of my enemies, would be something far too putrid morally. He and i better not cross paths solely because of how he treated you, even if his motives were just and you did something evil yourself.

@The Odeoron

That's all well and good, but what if it's a literal physical parasite?
*Follows you both to the lounge and takes a seat, entering manifesting myself in the mindworld and yet retaining physical presence and control over my real world body*

*Clenches my fists with enough tension that my arms shake, and I nod*
Right.

@Galaxy Raider

Shinji: I won't let them to you. That will never happen again. This time, they fall.

*A ferocity escapes my lips iwthin my voice, as my eyes train a vengeful glare upon my enemies. My aura shifts to one of immense power, but little release;as if a bottled supernova stands next to you*

You and I need to hard focus Cain, and eliminate him before he can work en tandem with his brother. Can you do that?

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Slides in with a precise grace and shoves the barrel of my gun into his mouth before pulling the trigger*

@Nimda

Abel:
*the bullet richoets off my hemlet*

What a brave one, you are.

*grabs you by the throat tossing you toward a planet's surface neaby, charging up my hammer with amaranthine energy*

Yet, you will fall all the same.

*Dives toward the plannet, slamming the hammer into you with extreeme force like a fallen meteor from the sky*

@souleaterfan320

*Nods again*
I’ve adapted since last time… They won’t catch me with the same weakness again.
*Electricity surges up my arms from my knuckles to my shoulders and I exhale deeply*
I’m ready.

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Yes sir!
*Takes a series of pistols that glow yellow, releasing grapeshot-like bursts on every trigger pull*

@Fractured

*they put slight dents into my armor that reform shortly after*

It'll take more than your bullets to slay me, whelp.

*Throws my hammer at you with a heavy grunt, and it smacks into you before returning to me*

@Galaxy Raider

Shinji: Cain's main form fights with a spear, and he's dman good at it. He alsp has a rumored alternative form, but I've never seen it, or what it can do. We need to overwhelm him with attacks, and keep close range to render his weapon near useless. Lets go.

*dives towards him so fast that it leaves afterimages of me, slicing toward his right shoulder, to which he blocks and attempts to fire a blast of energy at me with his left hand*

*Follows up closely behind as he raises his arm and grabs him by its shoulder, yanking his arm backward and away from him with force enough to pull his head down so that it meets a followup kick, which explodes violently on impact with both raw power and an electrical surge that swallows the immediate area in a blue light for a moment*
