Do we have a plan in place for diminishing the faith of his constituents? I may be able to utilise a rhetorically sound speech, though this is rare-trod ground I'm Finessing.

@Efficacy

Do whatever it takes to eliminate the target. If you fail to complete the mission, gather as much intel as possible regarding his connections and capabilities.

*You take the staff effortlessly, and the beam fires full force and unopposed on the area. A green swirl of colorful strings of magic begin flowing around my hand*

@Inimical

*Bears the brunt of the force and snaps the staff*

@Webmaster

*Claps my hands, and says with excessive solemnity* So be it. Measure your expectations well. People are fickle, and I foresee numerous otherwise avoidable difficulties. *Turns smoothly on a heel and space seems to slip around me as if I have stepped into a pocket, and then I am gone*

@Efficacy

That is why we sent three.

Don't forget that.
*Looks up at a clock tower*
Why isn't he here yet?

@Meta

@Zeal

*Steps into space as if coming out of a pocket, and it folds smoothly around me* Updated information indicates that he may be delayed by a time discrepancy. I hate unscrupulous politicians. What do you plan to do with these people's faith?

Oh, Crier! I didn't expect to see you.

@Meta

*Smiles widely* Oh, neither did I, Grace! *Frowns* At least, not very much. Anyway, I must know what you're going to do in order to exercise Finesse on the population.

We were going to interrupt his speech, disrupt the populous' faith in Vector, and take him out while he's at low strength.

@Meta

How do you plan to disrupt their faith? Why do they believe in him?

@Efficacy

It seems it's largely political in this world. By demonstrating his weakness, that should be enough to cause their faith to waver.

@Meta

The people trust in those who can protect them. I will perform crippling strikes to his most celebrated or influential supporters. Can you make some semblance of a speech?

We're not going to hurt anyone. That's out of bounds.

@Meta

I can see that, since none of the people on this planet are dead. *Grins* Great job holding Gajeel back! *Laughs and returns to solemnity* They will be winding, but non-permanently damaging blows, intended to apparently incapacitate, to show that Vector cannot protect his greatest supporters.

*Wavers back and forth*
They didn't do anything wrong.

@Meta

But good and bad fortune happen to them all the same, regardless of whether we or Vector are here. What is one blow, lightly taken, on the scale of decades? Answer if you wish.

@Efficacy

The actions we take can't be attributed to fortune. That's something we're able to control ourselves.

@Etcetera

*On top of what would be expected from an energy blast, you also feel your skin where the beam impacts begin to undergo rapid necrosis. The two halves of the staff fly back into each of my hands*

*Bridges my copies away from the beam*

@Fractured

*Appears in front of your lead copy and lands a blow to the back of your head with one of the halves of the staff*
