[IC] Myriad Reality

[Nemeses]

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*A hulking creature with a spiked green head and spiderlike body with two hands almost as large as itself materializes in front of me, absorbing the attack in a barrier much stronger than my own*

@Webmaster

If you fled, I would not pursue you. You know you can only defend for so long.
*Rears back for another attack*

@Nemeses

*From out of nowhere, grabs your arm from behind you, staring you down with a side-eye*
People like you, picking fight with people you see as beneath you... Really tick me off.
*Flips you over my head and kicks you in the back, away from Melody*

@Nemeses

I believe you. But I won’t give you that victory... not after what everyone else has given.
*The Life Virus charges a destructive violet laser and shoots it at you, the beam larger than your body*

@Heroic

*Looks taken aback*
I... didn’t realize anyone was left.

@Webmaster

There are a couple still finishing up with that Robyn chick. But I noticed that something happened to everyone else dealing with this one and that you were alone. That's just unfair.
*Turns back toward Artahe*
Those two can tidy up. I wanted him from the start anyway.

@Webmaster

*Takes it on without second thought, any damage I may or may not have sustained being totally gone by the time I am visible once more*
Robyn still wasn't fully recovered, despite her evolution. I suppose this is to be expected.

@Heroic

I’ll do whatever I can to help.

Again.
*It charges the laser, this time blowing through you unrelentingly*

@Webmaster

Let's end this joke quickly so we can go take care of the real meat and potatoes of the fight.

@Webmaster

*Skirts along the edge of the beam toward you*

@Nemeses

*Zips under it to you and slams you with an overhead punch, knocking you into the beam*

@Nemeses

*Whispers something to the virus, which summons meteors that pelt you and produce shockwaves on contact with the beam*

@Webmaster

*After a moment, grabs your face with one hand from within the beam using immense crushing force*

@Nemeses

*The beast strangles you with one of its mammoth hands before you reach me and infects you with waves of painful, tearing energy that emit from its body*

@Webmaster

These preconceptions about conventional organisms give you the idea that you can cause me pain and even kill me. I assure you, you are sorely mistaken.
*Thrusts my hands out to throw the hand off me, and holds a hand toward you, only for nothing to happen*

@Nemeses

*Comes flying in from behind, clobbering you with a single blow launched at full force*
Who cares? When you reach the point where you're worn to helplessness, I'll be satisfied. Not that you're very capable now that I'm around anyway.

@Nemeses

*Stares at you intently and whispers*
Crush him.
*The virus slams its reinforced mechanical hands on either side of you, beaming the same destructive aura into your body*

@Webmaster

*Explodes forward out from its hands just before that clap together, smashing into you with two fists in your gut*

@Nemeses

*Gets flown backwards, but stops myself before I reach the edge of the virus’ aura, activating air shoes*
Now!
*The virus summons spherical boulders of data that fall randomly and cling to anyone they touch like a ball of static and lightning, rending everything they touch*

@Webmaster

Tch.
*Phases backwards with my hands in my jacket pockets, putting good distance between myself and the giant*

@Webmaster

*After the first couple, I nimbly navigate my way through the boulders, making my way to you again and hurling you into one*
