<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Lets you go*
There are a couple more things that must be done. Artahe... I know it’s worthless to ask, but do be gentle.
*Jets off into the void of space faster than detectable, the usual traces of my presence being masked as my whereabouts quickly become lost*

*Grits my teeth*
If you’re tainted by your own ideals, how can you force them onto us? I might be artificial, but even my viruses understand what it means to be alive more than you!

@Webmaster

I make no promises.
*Smashes into the center point of where the virus barriers stem from, and from that point, sends a ripple out along their ranks that incinerates them instantly*
Your way did not work. Now we try mine.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Then it looks like we’ll be here a while.
*The giant emits the same cloud of destruction*

@Dynamics

Not as long as you think.
*Stops moving suddenly, and blasts off away from you at a much higher speed than before, headed toward the barrier and leaving you in the dust*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I usually destroy things native to Existence. But don’t worry, with enough time you’ll fall like the rest.

@Dynamics

There is no end for me.
*Clasps both hands together, and pulls them apart, revealing a stretchy band of something gray that I throw towards the giant, which wraps around it repeatedly across its whole body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

It's one of the few things worth defending.
*The giant swats you out of the air and I meld back into it*

@Dynamics

They say actions speak louder than words, but this is one of the poorest displays I've seen.
*Remains just out of its reach*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Steps out of the shadows of the creature's knee*
You're not worth conversing with. You have no information to make suffering your droning worth my while.

@Dynamics

Worth conversing with enough for you to step out and defend your ego, it seems.
*Maintains my distance from the creature on a flight path away from it, flying backwards to address you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*It seems to respond almost robotically, taking the hit but lurching toward you at every opportunity*

@Dynamics

*Stays ahead of it until I finish my survey, and I chuckle*
It seems X was the first to fall, among those here. Understandable. He was here from the beginning... How much longer for you? Your cockiness converted quickly to silence and you struggle to stay away.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*It reaches up and crushes you against its chin*

@Dynamics

*Dips around its hand and kicks the back of it upward, making it hit itself, then I look around for Dynamo and at the rest of the battlefield, surveying*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*The creature reacts by clapping its hands with you in between*

@Dynamics

*Darts forward in between its forearms, attacking in the same way, then does so again do its chin*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*It slams its fist into you*

@Dynamics

*Places both palms forward to stop the punch from hitting me, but still flies back a ways. My touch leaves bombs of glowing light on its fist that detonate and penetrate the creature with light*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

I doubt that.
*A giant creature silently forms out of the planet and reaches forward, crushing all three of us in its grip*

@Dynamics

*My gaseous body leaks out and reforms from its grip outside of its hand*
