<Snipped quote by Source>

*Appears above you, but does nothing but let you slam into me. On touching me, a surge of chaotic ripples in the air tear through the space you occupy, attacking your insides directly*

@Melodious

*Instead of organs and flesh, the attack twists and ripples through the clay-like substance that makes up my body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Looks to you to say something, but struggle to draw in the breath needed to speak, instead heaving up more blood without being able to draw a breath*

@GalaxyRaider

*Dashes to you and manually displaces the blood from your lungs, replacing it with air*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Instead of cracking like solid ground, it jiggles and divides like a gelatinous, near-liquid substance that collapses back inwards, smacking into you on either side with a very solid, loud-sounding smack*

@Melodious

*Shoots up ward to avoid the collapse, and creates a suppression field above the ground to force it downward*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Coughs again, upheaving a hefty amount of blood*

@GalaxyRaider

What’s going on, Waternaux?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*A layer of incredible cold forms above you, in contrast to the heat below, and smashes down into the superheated ground, causing an instability and a unique reaction that results and the ground becoming super malleable and energetic. Because of this, it starts to jut spikes upward toward you that then retract back into the ground very quickly and sporadically*

@Melodious

*Slams my palm into one of the spikes, causing the ground to split and fracture*

You're not as smart as you look, huh? Have I been speaking as if either of us wouldn't survive this? I have complete confidence that I can save even you if the conditions for me to enter battle are met.

@Threads of Fate

I suggest you reach those conditions instead of flattering me.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I tried.
*My voice wavers a bit with despair*
I’m not sorry anymore.
*The ground beneath you very suddenly glows with heat well beyond that which occurs naturally anywhere in Existence*

@Melodious

*Transfers the heat from the ground and collects it in a visible sphere of energy*

<Snipped quote by Source>

Your abusive of power already has. As has your underestimating of your enemy, your lack of general information... In fact there's a lot of things that you've shrugged off your shoulders by now.

@Threads of Fate

I have no interest in discussing the approach of the organization. I arrived today with a mission to complete at all costs, be that my own life or yours. But I wager that we would both prefer to leave this place alive.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

That's a much lower priority than keeping information out of the hands of Tier Five.

@Threads of Fate

Your grudge against Tier Five could lead to complete annihilation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Such as?

@Threads of Fate

A supremely hostile combat environment against an opponent with capabilities of an unknown extent.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

I'm not authorized to tell you that.

@Threads of Fate

There are greater concerns than your authorization at play.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

That depends entirely on what for.

@Threads of Fate

What did you prepare for?
