Mm.

@Dynamics

*The bubble of space everyone occupies begins to ripple outward from various places, like dropping pebbles in a pond*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

So, I’ll just have to hold you all off till then...
*sighs*
Sorry Mom.

@Extra

You will do nothing except die with the rest.
*The red static Robyn uses slowly fills your vision as you fade away from your current position and into the IA-occupied space*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Even with your confidence in numbers, Existence is home to so many gifted fighters. Good luck coming out on top.

@Armed Forces

Enough of this. You won't even breach the corner of this dimension to which I banish you. Your contribution to our salvation will be honored for all eternity, though. I do hope you keep that in mind.
*Space in the dimension shifts, pushing the entire IA force into a confined corner of it. The sphere of influence Begins experiencing a massive pressure against its boundaries*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*It curves harmlessly away as I appear, dropping from the air and setting foot on the ground, facing you*
You'll lose by numbers alone. I'm sure you know this already.

@Armed Forces

Our numbers are greater than you realize. You're not the only one in command of an army, Sarso. Plus, you're on a timer.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Outward from the IA ships, a sphere of influence expands, visually identical to Isaac’s Brinkspace fields. I grab ES and disappear into the safety of their confines*

@Melodious

The first wave of their final struggle is already here.
*Points to the source and fires a single beam in its direction*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Then let us be clear. You're standing in Ground Zero of what is soon to be a fight for everything you know. And you've made yourself a particularly enticing target for us.
*Space itself seems to shatter and reassemble in various ways around me many times over as my power output grows well beyond the perception of nearly anyone*

@Multifarious

No more reservations, Nemid. You can leave the rest to me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

...What?

@Extra

What would you do if some unsavory souls were hunting down a friend of yours and attempting to take their life?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Huh?

@Extra

I wouldn't worry about it. You have bigger fish to fry. Welcome to Ground Zero, Avis.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Me what? You expected us to watch you die fully? We're not bad people, Graveny, we don't let our own go like that when it can be helped.

@Abominations

*Appears from a starry portal*
And the full scope of the fight was necessary for you to experience. For growth.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Even if you hate me for it...
*Looks up*
I’ll do what I have to to make sure you do what you must.
*Ejects from your grip by turning into the black stuff again, and reforms in streams a ways into the air. Suddenly a massive ball of fire that radiates ludicrous destructive energy forms around my very being and jets toward the ground*
Can’t stop me if I wipe it all out!

@Inimical

Art-
*Appears between you and the ground and holds you back*
I just need time!
