You're a very candid man, I respect that. And I doubt, if you're right about everyone's capabilities, that I'd be much use either, it seems. Though, you're doing an excellent job of making me want to stay. Just imagine, what my father would say, if he knew the company I've come to keep.

*tentrils from the ball jet out at high speeds, stopping the energy dead in its tracks*

You... you think you can save everyone from what's coming... you think that you can just waltz up to me, and stop me from ending it all... you think that just because you stop me that it'll go back to normal after I'm gone..

*the ball starts rushing towards us, engulfing whole galaxies as it makes its way towards us*

But that's just not how things are. You hero types always think you can save everyone, or at the very least save a few people. But you're WRONG! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT CAN END YOU WILL COME ALONG AND TEAR APART EVERYTHING YOU'VE WORKED SO DAMN HARD TO PROTECT! FRIENDS, FAMILY, EVERYTHING, JUST GONE!

*the ball picks up speed*

And the worst part is, even if you manage to survive. Even if you stave off what seems to be your end, it never stops. That's why I'm doing this. No more heroes, no more villains, everything will die, sieze to exist. Starting with you, and everyone in this group of yours.

@souleaterfan320

*Clasps my hands together and closes my eyes*
...If that person exists, the one that will tear apart everything I love and protect, well, I haven't met them yet. I plan to live forever, Kirina. And I plan for you to die. And the thing is, I don't make a lot of plans. They generally work out though.
*Jumps into the large sphere*

@PentagonWhite
Drake: you don't have to stay here, unless theres something on your end preventing you from leaving.

*lights a cigar*

Go talk to the one named Shinji Akamura if you need convincing to stay. Howver, if you take his side against me, once this business with kirina is over..

*gives you a dark look*

I'll kill you, too.

@PentagonWhite

I'm sure he would be delighted.
*Looks toward Drake*
Please, ignore him. He seems a bit stressed at the moment.

@Legend
Drake: I'm suprised you're not, Data. With your sister apparently about to die.

*points out what looks like a window, showing the battle*

@souleaterfan320

I trust my sister with my own life.

*I stare at Drake for a moment, then another. As the dark look sank in properly, I burst into a laugh. It's bright, ecstatic, sharp and staccato. I close my eyes for a moment, to contain the mirth, before flicking them back open with a fundamentally charmed expression.*

I appreciate the advice, but you'll notice I said I'm already being convinced to stay. This group is far too interesting. If you're not all lying through your teeth, this is exactly what I've been looking for these last few years. As for taking sides, well, I try not to do that. My allegiance is first to God- *I pause, to touch my forehead with my left index finger*. After that, well, I'm not particularly interested in politics of any stripe.

@Etcetera
... I hope it works out...
*a small smile escapes from my expression, just as the ball explodes, ending the energy everywhere, and i fall to one knee, gravely injured*

[souleaterfan320]

@Legend

Drake: That's absolutely stupid. Even youve got to realize the chance of her surviving a battle like this is slim...
*takes another puff from my cigar*

*The energy expands as quickly as it physically can while I am nowhere to be seen*

@souleaterfan320

As was her chance of surviving the path she was on.

@PentagonWhite
Drake: *laughs a little unsettlingly, then grins, holding the cigar in my right hand* Ive eaten gods, best hope that yours wasn't one of them.

*as the first wave of energy bombards the planet, I crack another smile, then pass out. Zero appears, spotting me, grabbing me and leaving, just as the second wave of energy hits*

[souleaterfan320]

@Legend
Drake: Can I help you?

[PentagonWhite]

@souleaterfan320

I suppose you might have, in a sense, but you don't seem like someone interested in nuanced scriptural explanations. Regardless, that sounds like quite a story. You wouldn't happen to be in a sharing mood? A story like that sounds like it would be worth hearing.

*as the first wave of energy bombards the planet, I crack another smile, then pass out. Zero appears, spotting me, grabbing me and leaving, just as the secodn wave of energy hits*

@souleaterfan320

*The energy immediately stops and reverses its movement, collapsing into a singularity*
...
*A small presence is still with Zero and Kirina*

[souleaterfan320]

@PentagonWhite
Drake: *chuckles* sure, if you have the time.

@souleaterfan320

Please do not threaten our guest.

Zero: *thousands of nanites flow from my body, hunting down the pressence*

You've done enough, techi. You should rest, as well.
