*Directs the magic toward the vial*

@Etcetera

I think at this point there's usually discussion over how efficient the mission has gone so far. I'm impressed at the efficiency.

@Intrepid

Some missions are quite simple.

*Gasps when the first portrait disappears, and raises Vita, an energy-dispersive Crystal Matrix forming across the blade of the sword to dissipate the Amaranthine into other-dimensional space; meanwhile, I use my now-safe contact with the sword to push against you, locking your blade with mine* You villain! Dismissing real, deeply involved artistry simply because it's travelling in an inconvenient direction toward yourself? For that, you deserve to be unable to view real art.

Shadow Matrix: Heresy! *Shadow billows from my mouth as my eyes grow dark and it fills the area around you, highly decreasing both physical sensory input and information input to magical awareness*

@Disdain

*highly corrosive and corruptive Amaranthine flows from my body like a viscous gas, eating away at any sort of energy, magical or otherwise, that the shadow may have*

Abel: you struggle against the amaranthine. true to your kind, Lesser.

*fires a blast of amaranthine energy at you, forcing its way through the shadow like a bullet through water*

*Mumbles*
None of this is simple...

Oi, oi! Wait a moment!
*Flicker rushes over to Vinashy wide eyed, one arm reaching out as the entire place shudders, the white world around us snapping into a world of black, the ripples around our feet becoming more viscous as we sink an inch further into the once stable floor.*

@Stabby

Shinji:
...well, this should be entertaining.

You-
*Rolls to the side to dodge the stomp*
Got it!
*Jumps to my feet and lunges toward Cain, grabbing his leg and pulling him off his feet, then hurling him clear into space in one swift motion. I leap after him immediately after, launching myself into space as well*

@Valiance

Cain: *as you follow me into space, you notice that you cannot see any stars or nearby planets, just a deep, moving purple hue*

*my movement slows and stops suddenly, and I rotate to see you. my body gives off a faint, glowing purple aura*

This battle was over before it started.

*my hammer dissipates, but my gauntlets grow in size, each the size of a large cinderblock*

@Etcetera

Now, if you would like to hold onto that magical vial. We'll each need one to open the pyramid.

@souleaterfan320

*Turns my head and glares at you.*
If you think adding living mental acid to your own depression is entertaining, by all means, feel free to shoot yourself in the foot, Mr "I think this is a load of shit."
Otherwise, let me try to at least keep your mental state from getting worse from yet another problem.

@souleaterfan320

*Suddenly comes to a halt not far from you and grins, wagging one finger at you tauntingly, before my entire body becomes super charged with electricity*

@Intrepid

*Takes the vial*
How do we proceed?

@Stabby

Shinji:
Oh, fuck you. you're just doing this to save your own sorry ass from my former friends. and to be quite frank, you hardly know SHIT about me, or the shit that I went through. so please, kindly throw another insult back my way so I can serve it back with an extra helping of "fuck off".

@Etcetera

You might have missed it, but on each of the four sides of the pyramid, there are pressure plates. We each must occupy one, then insert the vial into the pressure plate once it's active.

@Valiance

*the electricity dissipates immediately*

Cain: as the beings from Earth would say; "you aren't in Kansas, anymore."

*punches you with planet shattering force*

@Intrepid

Should I have duplicates in charge of each one in case there's a trap?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Holds out my hand to stop as much of it as I can once I feel the impact, leaving that point on the center of my palm charred black. I then hold my hand out, palm up, and form a small orb of light levitating just above it that does very little to illuminate the area*

@Heroic

*Pops up in another random location and does the same thing before sinking*

@souleaterfan320

*Looks at my hands*
Huh?-
*Looks back up at you and blocks the blow with two hands as an instinctive reaction*

@souleaterfan320

Shadow Matrix, Crystallise! *The magical shadow transforms and turns into millions of tiny rips in the dimension through which the gas flows; the holes eat through the amaranthine until it disappears completely, dissipated out into empty space; due to the filtering of light, the rips look just like shadow, though not all senses are disrupted from now on*
Very clever. Wasting my magic. Art! Science! Ruined! So uncivilised. You know, learning and art are the markers of a truly great society, and you have just destroyed both like you have no taste. I should call you the lesser!
*Swings Vita in a complicated, sinuous form, and bursts of sharp light spring from the sword and shoot through further dimensional rips, appearing at random points very close to you and shooting toward your body*

@Fractured

That would be a good idea. But you don't want to be standing off a plate while the process is underway. If we were to do that, the rest of us would have to leave you alone in the facility entirely while it happens.

@Balance

*The moment you emerge, the light ball seemingly automatically fires a beam in your direction, moving as fast as actual light yet impacting as though it were solid*
