[IC] Myriad Reality

[Dynamics]

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*Places both palms forward to stop the punch from hitting me, but still flies back a ways. My touch leaves bombs of glowing light on its fist that detonate and penetrate the creature with light*

@Nemeses

*The creature reacts by clapping its hands with you in between*

[Melodious]

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*The Beast Over drops and I stare you in the face*
Disengage all protocols. Analyze foreign mystery data.
*My remaining data dissolves into voxels, resulting in a spinning blue rhombohedron that shines a sterile blue light brightly around it; the light breaks down and analyzes all data that can be derived from the crystal relative to its existence in this dimension*

@System

*The crystal acts as a container for both power and knowledge in one, and is incredibly durable*
You see now?
*Grabs the rhombohedron in my hand*
If you live, don't come back. Killing someone so noble would be a travesty.
*Crushes the object, shattering it in my hand*

@Dynamics

*Darts forward in between its forearms, attacking in the same way, then does so again do its chin*

@Melodious

*Traces of blue data materialize on top of the crystal based on the analysis of its surface, slowly expanding as it crunches the associated data*

@Nemeses

*It reaches up and crushes you against its chin*

@System

*Scatters the remains like dust to the winds in space, then looks to Melody again*
And you.

@Dynamics

*Dips around its hand and kicks the back of it upward, making it hit itself, then I look around for Dynamo and at the rest of the battlefield, surveying*

@Melodious

*Once the entire surface is covered by blue squares of data, they begin glowing like before and turn inward, attempting to analyze, break down, and inject rogue data into the crystal*

@System

*Nothing else about the crystal seems immediately discernable, but the outer layer of the crystal seems to be absolutely immutable and impenetrable*

@Melodious

What about me?
*Shakes my head*

@Melodious

*It continues to attempt to corrupt the makeup of the crystal, inject data, and integrate it into another construct*

@Webmaster

You sealed off the battlefield. Wanted us divided.
*Floats toward you*
Like your odds now?

@Nemeses

*It seems to respond almost robotically, taking the hit but lurching toward you at every opportunity*

@System

*Remains stalwart as it does, totally unafraid of it being able to do any real damage. The crystal seems to occupy space that consists heavily of Brinkspace more than pure space*

@Melodious

You're not going to get away with this. You'll lose in the end.

@Melodious

*It attempts to force-integrate it as a module into a larger system that incorporates Brinkspace*

@Dynamics

*Stays ahead of it until I finish my survey, and I chuckle*
It seems X was the first to fall, among those here. Understandable. He was here from the beginning... How much longer for you? Your cockiness converted quickly to silence and you struggle to stay away.

@Nemeses

*Steps out of the shadows of the creature's knee*
You're not worth conversing with. You have no information to make suffering your droning worth my while.

@System

*Whether by some higher power or an indistinguishable property, the crystal remains anchored to me and my presence, in our current state*

@Webmaster

I wasn't lying when I told that moron over there that it's been over. This isn't a fight of whether I get Existence or not, it's a fight for us to make this as painless for you all as possible. Drop the barriers.

@Dynamics

Worth conversing with enough for you to step out and defend your ego, it seems.
*Maintains my distance from the creature on a flight path away from it, flying backwards to address you*
