<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

People who aren't dead yet, people who still care about them? Sure, and then after you're done killing Data, I'll make sure to deliver the news of his passing to his loved ones that actually happened.
*Stares unwaveringly at the giant as it morphs, and I hold out my hand, ripping the scimitar from your shoulder from afar as it soars back into my hand*

@Multifarious

My family is as real as yours!
*The golem slams its fist into you, booming as air rushes to fill the vacuum of space it left*

[Etcetera]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I'll keep you posted. Just stay safe.

@Multifarious

*Shoots several feet away from you, my body completely repaired*
Likewise.

@Webmaster

*Flies around the fist in an arch dragging the scimitar through its arm as I do and leaving behind a streak of green that begins to corrode the metal away*
And it still will be. Just as the memory of you will if you pull this off. "There goes Singularity the monster, murderer of a father, husband, and friend of many." All because you believe that punishment is worth dishing out before any wrong was ever done.
*Stops in front of the titan's chest as I look up and hurl a teal ball of energy to the underside of its chin, exploding violently on impact*

@Multifarious

*Follows up by slashing diagonally toward the chest of the beast, hurdling an ethereal technicolor curve into it that cleanly splits the metal into two large pieces*

@Multifarious

The crime has already been committed. And it’ll happen again if I don’t stop this now.
*Metal from other parts of the golem quickly fills in the gaps left by both of your attacks, liquid iron spraying onto both of you in the process*

@Webmaster

He's already killed these people in this timeline?
*Punches toward it, splitting the molten metal away from me with a strong gust of wind that also stabs directly through the giant's stomach from the sheer potency*

@Multifarious

*The golem claps it’s hands, crushing you between them as its stomach reforms the same way as before*
Who cares what timeline it was?? That heartless, unfeeling machine has always been oblivious to everyone else—that people feel outside of his experiments!

@Webmaster

*Remains silent, but rapidly changes positions and angles around the iron creature, releasing prismatic waves that cut it into jigsaw-like pieces*

*As soon as you do, one of them hurdles toward you*
You don’t care about anything! I wish you were something as simple as selfish! At least then there would be some kind of reason!!

@Webmaster

...
*A blue explosion sends the hands flying violently apart, and I soar up higher into the sky above it. I leave the scimitar floating in space once more teal orbs of energy form and grow in my hand, and I rain down explosive blasts unyieldingly on it from above*
What matters is that the Data you see here killed none of those people! Or would you find that I would be justified in, after you take him out, finding you after you're born and killing you as a baby for this murder?

@Multifarious

*The golem lifts one of its arms to shield me from the blasts and shoots jets of liquid and gaseous iron at your form*
I don’t care what you do to me!
*Tears well at the corners of my eyes*
Just leave my mom alone!

@Webmaster

That's the point!
*Increases the speed and spread of the power balls to disperse and overcome your attack while putting enough pressure on it to cause the explosions to get closer and closer to you*
I would never do something like that, because what you're doing is wrong!

@Multifarious

I don't have a choice!
*The entirety of the golem morphs into a dense iron shield that further guards from your attacks and shoots tendrils of liquid iron at both of you*
Mom said to never give up hope...
*Clenches my fist*
But this is what hopelessness looks like!

@Webmaster

*Releases another slash into the shield that seems to slow down on contact and continually eat away at any iron that touches it*

@Etcetera

*A sphere of iron surrounds you and rapidly shifts the magnetic field inside it, tearing away at your body*

*Cuts through the sphere cleanly, my body healing from the damage by ribbons of multicolored light*

@Webmaster

*My body is surrounded by a glowing yellow outline, as I suddenly disappear in a streak of light after moving to a point off to the side, from where I immediately rocket toward you, navigating around the shield and slamming a fist squarely into your nose with imperceptible speed*
You only don’t have a choice when you convince yourself of that!

@Multifarious

*Pulls myself to the side barely quickly enough to avoid severe damage and plants a strong positive field in your torso with my foot, repelling you from me and attracting toward the shield*
I’ve already failed to protect everyone. All I have left is to pick up the pieces.
*Several pieces of metal align in front of me, creating a makeshift railgun that fires another shard into you*
