*narrows my eyes at the blade*
I wonder...
*parries the throw, grabbing the handle shortly after*

@Spiritblitz

You thought!
*The other half warps and reconnects to the half you caught, with me holding the other handle; I follow up with a kick to your teeth*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*the moment she appears, I am already swinging my sword in her path, my eye is glowing bright*

@Spiritblitz

Whew!
*Bounces backward in a flip, reacting with my scissors, flinging half like a throwing star*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I can do that.

@Spiritblitz

*Skids into you and slides beneath your legs, slicing at your tendons*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

oop!
*winces and grits my teeth as I grab your arm and places the hilt of my plasma blade on your chest, activating it as your scissor blade is in me*

@Spiritblitz

Woa—

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*At the same time, shoots several shots into the past*

@Techspert

*Lurches as soon as I see the shots in the past, swapping and disappearing just as the beam pierces my shirt and my chest starts to burn*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*In your new position, pulls the razor-sharp barrel of both guns toward your neck*

@Techspert

*Unhinges the scissors again and jams each half between your guns before kicking you in the chest*
That was lethally stupid.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You took my daughter!
*Unloads the entire magazine into your center of mass, each shot aimed further into the past than the last*

@Techspert

*Takes a step backward in time with every shot*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I wonder if my brother has eaten some of your peeps or other time peeps.
*fires multiple shots at the ground near you that explode violently*

@Spiritblitz

*Now further back in time, interrupts you mid-sentence to slide toward you and jab the scissors into your stomach like a shiv*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*A dark sky littered with stars appears from a small black dot above you three, and a voice rings out from it*
Deepest apologies for the inconvenience and interruption, but would you mind terribly if I asked you to go elsewhere with your squabble?

@Threads of Fate

I don't need interruptions.
*Snips at the surrounding landscape and we end up in a flat canyon surrounded by stone*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*groans in annoyance*
So like at least twelve. Got it.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*deflects the blade into the ground and fires multiple rounds at you*

@Spiritblitz

You've made yourself an enemy not of the council, but of every disciple of water.
*Shifts forward, then back in time before returning to my current place to avoid each shot*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Shoots the blade coming toward me with one gun and shoots the other at you experimentally, the first shot far to your right, then the second adjusted and deadly-accurate*

@Techspert

*Slices in the path of the bullet, deflecting it away from me*
Are we really going to do the same dance again? Especially when the entire council knows you're a dead man now?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Last time we played by the council's rules. This time, we play by mine.
*Aims at your forehead and pulls the trigger, and with a sound closer to metal being struck with an anvil than an explosion, I end up on the other side of you, the bullet re-entering the extended barrel from the back*

@Techspert

*Grins, unharmed and almost giddy from the decision*
War it is!
*Unhinges a pair of scissors and flings one side at you and the other at Sinon*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

How many are there of you?

@Spiritblitz

Far more than you. Like I said, a death warrant.
