<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Machina!
*Follows while I clear the dust from my eyes*

@Webmaster

*Continues as fast as I can*

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*Holds out my hands in the course of both attacks, collecting the energy from each strike in my palms*

@Memory

Third!!! Stop!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It's-
*The relatively frail barrier shatters to bits from the residual force of the last attacks and are blown at us, as I shield my eyes*

@Melodious

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Closes my eyes and holds on to you tightly*

@Webmaster

*An unseen force pushes you both off of me and I run forward*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Help what? You see the kinds of stuff they're doing. Even just being close to that can kill you!

@Melodious

No! Third won't let me get hurt!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Reaches out to grab you by the arm*
Please don't get yourself hurt!

@Melodious

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Keeps a hand on your shoulder*
This isn't a safe place to be. We need to go back—they can all handle this themselves.

@Webmaster

I have to go out there! Third will listen to me, and I can help!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*The air turns to solid ice in your path, not so close that you run face-first into it, but wide enough that getting trying to go around it gives us time to catch up*

@Melodious

Stop!
*Starts trying to climb the barrier*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Yells for Machina*
Hey! What are you doing?!

@Melodious

*Hits the ground, and scrambles to get up before running toward the battlefield*
I'm going to help!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Hey! That's dangerous!
*Reaches for the device*

@Melodious

*Throws the device up into the air and ducks into the first portal that opened*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

There’s really nothing we can do.

@Webmaster

We have to help Third!
*The projection device flies out of your hand and onto the floor, and I pick it up and hit buttons randomly*
