<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

After all of that, you're just going to throw it away?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Ignore it, that's just one less hostage to worry about.

@Fractured

*Replies in the most uninterested tone*
Basically. There are time-sensitive matters elsewhere to deal with.
*Motions for Artahe and Robyn to follow me*
You’ll find that your friends will be back where they were originally taken from, free of my influence. You’ll also find that this isn’t actually over, there’s just no need to go any farther now. Some of you need time to...
*Looks at Isaac*
Reflect.
*Waves a very nonchalant goodbye, and the three of us disappear*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Hey, over here you dolt.
*Break your knee backwards*

@Fractured

*Suddenly calm again*
Playtime’s over. Why don’t you go on home?

*The cracked area in my abdomen suddenly bursts open, projecting a portal from my body as I fall to my knees*

@Abominations

Atarhe? You couldn’t hold him any longer?
*Sighs*
I suppose the rage from recent events might have made him too much to handle. And the rest of them now have a way out too?
*Sighs again, more dramatically this time*
Let them loose. It’s no longer necessary, and we can proceed without this bunch.
*Puts my hands in my pockets*
The day has been eventful enough.

Myriad Reality

So Rhythm managed to escape with a trick I wasn’t accounting for? Is this for real?
*Looks visibly infuriated*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Decelerates light in your area so that’s length expands and you do not fall into the storm*

@whizzball1

*You find that manipulating anything in the area in such a manner no longer shows any signs of working*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Tears away at reality to bring the storm as close as possible*

@Fractured

*Ignores you*
Now Rhythm.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

@Nemeses

Vie! *A lance of green light appears on my hand and darkens, sapping your body’s ability to regenerate itself*

@whizzball1

A useless gimmick.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Steadies myself on the ground with my fist*
I'd just like to see you try.
*Runs at you at one hundred times my previous speed and hooks your neck with my elbow*

@Fractured

*Takes the blow without betraying an inch of ground*
A fruitless attack.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Hm.
*Determined, a loud noise suddenly sounds from the lab, one single alarm before something explodes, and a similar purple shroud to before when the fighting in the building was happening begins to envelop the area*

@Galaxy Raider

*Just as quickly as it explodes outward, it collapses into a single point before ceasing to exist altogether*
And a tired strategy. Truly, we’ve hit the peak of what you have to offer.
*Pauses for a moment*
This is over.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Tears through reality and snaps your spine over my knee*
How about you?

@Fractured

*My eyes now betray sudden fury like unseen before, as I convert into a silver, flowing stream of energy that shoots upward, then strikes down at you with a single bolt dwarfing anything I’ve done prior*
Enough! One more move like that and my patience will be at its limit.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

We perform no trades.

@whizzball1

Refusal will just doom them both. It is an option, but I’d call it ignorant.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

T: *Voxelizes away*
R: In that case, if this hurts, try to relax. Cross Fusion.
*The dimensional area tears at your consciousness and adds traces of mine, giving you full access to anything in the virtual world*

@Host

Isaac, you tried so hard to avoid it before coming that it’s only fitting. I’ll give you the choice, Rhythm, or Violet?

Myriad Reality

Oh hey, the madman actually did it

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

...

@whizzball1

Hmph.

Now, I hope it’s been made abundantly clear. There’s gonna be a toll for getting out of here. A blood tax. Without it, no one is leaving before the storm consumes this place.
