Artifact

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The lasers become denser and denser as their numbers increase, and the breastplate covering my whole torso proves surprisingly durable as it doesn't fold to the pressure of direct blows whatsoever, allowing me to turn and backhand you directly into the sphere*

@Valiance

*Bends backward below the blow and reaches to claw into your wrist*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

No!

@Galvanize

Why do you want to cause me trouble?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*From point blank on the bubble as well as all across its inner surface, lasers begin firing from it into your hand and bouncing off of different points in the sphere, quickly growing to a wild array of too many lasers to count*

@Magnanimity

Acrobatically flips between the blasts, narrowly dodging the reflections*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*A white hot ball of fire appears in my hand, and the temperature in the bubble suddenly feels as though it spikes immediately*

@Valiance

*Flips backwards, planting my foot into your side, and pivots into a series of jabs at pressure points along your spine and limbs*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

We!
*Traps us all inside a large blue energy bubble together*

@Magnanimity

*Rakes the back of my finger across the energy bubble*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A fella can hope. Let’s pick things up a notch, Chickpea.

@Valiance

You—

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Gimme a second!
*looks at the projection and claps hard and a brief portal engulfs me and I teleport to their location, free falling*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*lands hard near both of you*

@Galvanize

*Pinches the bridge of my nose*
Seriously go away.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Sighs*
There goes the best ending this could have had.

@Valiance

It’s going to take a lot more than that, you brute.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The orbs around your arms become attracted to each other, locking your arms behind your back and your feet together*
Let’s get out of here, before things escalate too severely.

@Valiance

Not a chance.
*Bites into my own shoulder, and soon after my body shifts and morphs into a more slender frame that slips through the restraints and kicks backwards off of you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*My head recoils back and then rockets forward again, staring at you, deadpan*
No one who ever says that really is.
*Grabs your arm and snaps the elbow backward, while your wrist and rest of your body are both anchored where they are*

@Valiance

*Yelps and twists my body to bend my elbow toward you, which transmits magnified force, while I tug on the restraints with my other limbs*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

But are you really?
*Blue energy balls materialize around each of your limbs, anchoring your wrists and ankles in space as I rocket forward and deliver an explosive jab to the gut*

@Valiance

*The kinetic energy seems to unnaturally glide to my forehead, which I slam into yours, delivering an equivalent blow*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Of course not.
*Cracks my knuckles very loudly*
If anything I’m more motivated.

@Valiance

Fine.
*Holds my arms to either side*
I’m wide open.
