Soul Edge:
when shall we begin?

Soul Calibur: *noticing a change in behavior from its intrinsically linked partner blade, it attempts to warn David via energy fluctuations*

What's the—

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The orb immediately comes down, but not before I refuel on energy, retaining my previous energy reserves*

Bastard.

*fires a concussive wave of energy throughout the dimension*

@souleaterfan320

PaMDA, protocol: Tycoon's Peaceful Dew.
*Shoves the hilts together like a staff and weaves through the energy blasts, absorbing them into the Soul Caliber and picking up speed with each strike until I'm moving nigh-instantaneously throughout the dimension, finally landing a hit at your upper torso with the Soul Edge, having magnified the malice of your attack*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*pulls one into me as it lands a blow to my side, and I grab it by the head*

Checkmate.

*amaranthine forms around us two, creating an orb of purplish hue around us*

@souleaterfan320

*The copy fizzles out as soon as you create the orb before the flaming aura of the Soul Edge surrounds your orb*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*each blade clashes with shards of amaranthine that form in the space around me, shielding me from most of the attacks, despite some leaking through, causing slight cuts to form in my skin*

How long do you plan on keeping your charade up, dynamo? You coward.

*the shards shoot out like a shranpel bomb into all nearby clones of you*

@souleaterfan320

As long as it takes!
*One of the clones that dodges becomes real and splits again to continue the attack, the only clones that truly materialize being those that land solid strikes*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

He who believes in light without shadow is a fool, he who cannot live within both light and shadow is even more so.

The blade collides with my skull, cracking it faintly, and I grit my teeth*

You're anooying the hell out of me with these petty attacks.

*darts towards you in a flash, hitting you full on with planet-cracking strength in the sternum with a well placed punch*

@souleaterfan320

*In a puff of smoke as that me fizzles out, stands a distance away in his place*
PaMDA, activate counterattack protocol: The Legend.
*From the spot I stand springs countless duplicates of myself, each taking a different approach to cut you down with various paths and techniques, and whichever one ends up in a position to inflict the most damage becomes real, and from its position countless new clones take its place, barraging you with maximum-effectiveness attacks*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*amaranthine forms in my hand, soaking up as much energy as it can and forcing the rest to disperse around me*

You fight for a people that uphold the very system you vowed to destroy. You're a shadow of your former self. Allow me to replace you.

@souleaterfan320

*The Caliber hovers above your head, preparing to execute judgement*
He who walks in enough light casts no shadow.
*The Caliber attracts the ambient energy and strikes directly downward with defense-piercing power*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*laughs at your feeble attempts, whilst visually admirign your blades. As you slice upward, I jump at the same time, landing on the tip of your upward raised blade, smirking*

And I fight on the behalf of an Existence that cannot fend against its tyrants. What do you fight for, a memory?

@souleaterfan320

*Leaves the Soul Caliber suspended as I take the Edge with both hands*
I fight for those I care about. The ones who are still alive!
*Thrusts upward, amplifying an up-facing torrent of horrifically destructive energy, which traps you in its aura*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*small cracks begin to appear on the surface of my body, but immediately reform moments after the attack's impact*

...a million cuts wouldn't suffice. A trillion wouldnt. Cut and cut, little swordsman. Fight against inevitability.

*another me appears from the blackness of space behind you, shoving a well placed knee into your side with world crushing power*

Your weak flesh is nothing compared to real strength.

@souleaterfan320

*That me is completely annihilated by the attack and I bring the Soul Caliber onto your dome from your side, ringing like a bell on strike*
Real strength comes from those you fight to protect.
*At the same time, slices up from between your legs with the Soul Edge, burning with power*
