<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Apex: *chuckles* Excellent pun, Time Line. You shpuld probably go check on your friend, though. As they say, I'll 'buy you some time'.

Aeron: *the hit collides with me, causing all the air in my chest to exhale quickly uppn impact, as the hit sends me carrening into a nearby stone, cracking it in two*

*dusts myself off, and stretches, looking over to you*

Huh. Not bad for a tier five. You must be one of their powerhouses. If it's a game of attrition you want...

*my image flickers, as I flash toward Apex, sending a crushing blow from my amaranthine covered fist into his stomach, sending him into the air*

then it's one you'll get.

*he darts after apex*

*somewhere near you, you hear a wet, struggled cough*

@souleaterfan320

*Kneels down and brushes the dust off of Dane*
Hey! Are you still alive down there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Indeed it is. Please attend to your friend over there, first. I'll keep this vile monster busy.

Aeron: *a flash of energy attempts to cut off Apex's hand, which works, but it grows back, as the disembodied hand grips tightly like a vice grip*

Apex: Kaboom.

*the hand explodes violently like a payload of multiple warheads, which would normally cause catastrophic damage, but Aeron stands in one piece, unmoved*

Aeron: seriously? your name is Apex and the best you can do is explode your disembodied limbs?

Apex: a villain like you need not know how I dispense justice, just that I will do so swiftly. Should you cooperate, you will feel no pain, and your sentence will be served. If you resist... it would only be painful.

Aeron: sentence? You some kind of judge? What is the punishment?

Apex: death.

*clasps my hands together, as an orange bolt of energy appears, and as I wield it like a sword, but instead of swinging it down towards aeron, I flick it like a whip, and it extends, the end of it acting like a bladed flail*

@souleaterfan320

*Accelerates the bolt through the desert such that it strikes Aeron instantaneously from his perspective*
About time someone took out this trash.

*that version of me disspaears fr9m existence, as another appears from its shadow, drawing a pistol made of amaranthine, placing the bareel to oyur temple*

Temporal Tempest.

*Fires the gun, and its as if 30 go off at the same time but in diffferent spots, green energy flowing from me into the gun right befor the bullet leaves the barrel*

*just as I complete that function, a hand rips through the dimension, as an unknown entity makes its way into the arena despite Aerons attempts, your attempt at disrupting the bubble even slightly seems to be just effective enough to 'poke a tiny hole' in the barrier. The hand grabs aeron by the cuffs of his jacket*

??: That's plenty enough.

Aeron: who the hell-?!?!?



???: I said, that's enough. your war ends here. You now face the hero Apex. Cower in your boots, villain.

@souleaterfan320

*Brushes off my shoulder*
Took you long enough, Apex. I suppose it's time we end this creature.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Aeron: *grins, as the green energy flowing through my veins rewinds my body as if going backward through time, and an after image of me strikes you from overhead with over a megatonne of force*

*deep within the desert, in an isolated pyramid, a purple crystal withing the center of the structure begins to crack slowly*

@souleaterfan320

*Raises my arm in defense, and fires several bullets into your face*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Aeron: Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

*a green energy glows on my back, as I dart toward you full throttle, spamming my energy covered fist into your stomach, before darting back to Dane, kicking him in the chest, launching him through a brick wall*

@souleaterfan320

*Sands bursts from my abdomen, and a sandstorm rapidly picks up in the arena*
It's about time that the world forgot you. Find yourself lost in the sands!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Aeron: And look at this! You brought me two gifts in one day! It must be my lucky day.

*the dimension grinds to a halt around us, a purple hue tints the sky*

Dane: *attempts to manipulate matter around me to free myself from Aerons grip, but he coats a hand in energy,thrusting it into my stomach. I grimace in agony, blood dripping from my mouth*

@souleaterfan320

I'm wise to your tricks. Or maybe I should say trick, since you only seem to have one.
*A sniper shot from nowhere hits the ground and from it spews forth a beacon of blue light fighting against the purple sky*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Fair.

*at the exact moment I finish speaking, a tear in the dimension opens, as Aeron steps out, putting an arm around Danes shoulder*

Hey, buddy. Did you really think you could hide this place from me?

Dane: *my eyes widen, as my glare fixates on Aeron*

@souleaterfan320

A surprise guest. What a way to make an entrance.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Hmm. Thats problematic. I can't really afford to fight two wars at the same time.

@souleaterfan320

My intent is to make this less of a war and more of a slaughter.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You can be quite intimidating, when you wish to be.

*looks around*

So... I take it that I'm embroiled in your little conflict, too?

@souleaterfan320

You might be; I can't say whether he got a message back to the remaining members of the council or not. But they won't be able to miss what happens next.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Indeed. Thank you for assisting me in that endeavor. Your help was apreciated. What shall we do to dispose of him?

@souleaterfan320

Don't worry about that.
*Nudges his sheen-white form with the tip of my foot, and it blows away as ash*
Who can say how long he was stuck like that?
