I’m not known as “The Prodigy of the Ilouro” for nothing.
*Turns toward the star and doubles down on the beam, resulting in it growing exponentially in size as the explosive power digs deep into the dense surface of the star and into its core*

@Multifarious

*Slashes in an X pattern across the image of the star, creating a rippling wave that shakes the air around us and speeds into the star, beginning to break it up with your blast*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I can survive the star, and I don’t care about the lab...

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I want her. She’s not dying, and she’s not getting away either.

@Multifarious

If you can blow it up now, do it—I'll offer my help as well. But don't waste energy you may need.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Time for what? We can’t waste time now, we need to get things under control.

@Multifarious

We can leave the lab behind more easily than fighting off a star. But we have to shut down the field to do that.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Grits my teeth and holds out both hands, firing a massive beam of cyan at it to try and force it back*

@Multifarious

*Places my hand on your shoulder*
Ignore the neutron star for now. We have time.

*Looks up toward the light*
Mag...

@Webmaster

*Looks up as well, analyzing it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*A few chunks of metal bounce up and down on the ground*
I'm doing this for everyone else. You're on the wrong side of the future.
*They start to gouge out small pieces of the ground, which adopt the same oscillating pattern and tear larger clods of the ground, rapidly causing a torrent of dirt and metal to spiral in the air above me*

@Webmaster

*After destroying the rest of the iron in the air, makes my way toward you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Slows myself enough to survive the impact by using the iron in my bones, wincing at the smell of cooked flesh caused by the heat they generated*
This is the only hope for my family!
*The shield explodes into a cloud of extremely fine iron particles that extends all the way to the ground*
And the only hope for my future!
*Puts two fingers into the cloud, electricity arcing between them and causing the entire body of iron to erupt into a dust explosion*

@Webmaster

*Splits the fire in half with a slash from the blade*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Lavender streams flow from each of my limbs to a singular point in space behind you, shifting them to that location as I grab you by the shirt and deck you in the jaw*
No, you idiot. You become the Data in other people's lives.
*Starts to repeatedly punch you in the face over and over again*
But you're too blinded by your emotions to see that.

@Multifarious

I—
*Shakes my head and dashes behind her, arcing electricity into Singularity's back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

By becoming the very thing that caused your sorrow? So you can then spread violence further?
*Slams into the shield*
So you can cause more violence and more sorrow that will only beget more violence and more sorrow!?
*Catches the projectile, and it freezes over very quickly in my hand before I crush it, shattering it like glass. After this, I speak more calmly*
Where does it end, Singularity?

@Multifarious

*Slices the shield in half vertically at your position, the force pulling each half of the shield to the side and leaving you in open air*
