Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Not worried about that part at all. What've you got in mind?

@Legend Begins

I throw you. Up.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I—probably! I think so!

@Legend Begins

*Glances with a cautious side-eye toward Misty*
And how about your confidence in landing?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Switches my attention from one building to the next around the city*
It... yeah, it all looks the same.

@Legend Begins

Could you spot it from a bird’s eye view?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

We can leave where we came from! We just need to get there before it's too late!

@Legend Begins

Right!… Where?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Eclipse and I reach your position, surrounded by a purple bubble of light that shifts like gelatin in delayed reaction to our movement*
Phoebe! We're done here!

@Legend Begins

Thank heavens!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Why do you care?
*Materializes a dozen spinning knives at my position, which launch upward into you*

@Etcetera

A number of reasons…
*Glances to the side at a large piece of kicked-up rubble and shifts it in front of me, blocking a number of the knives as I move out of the way of most of the others, with one managing to knick my calf*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Blitzes in front of one of the panels of earth and spin-kicks it directly into your position, while the impact itself is met with deep rumbling*

@Etcetera

*Dives back upwards from out of the crumbling soil and over your head*
Why do you want to do something that bores you so badly?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Done so soon?
*Reaches into the cracks of the ground and pulls up the earth itself like a dough, springing its form into an active volcano that erupts with noxious fumes and lethal magma*

@Etcetera

*Comes crashing down into the ground from my leap, sending the platform of earth I land on sinking down, raising other swaths of earth up like dislodged plates around me and covering myself in the large chunks of the shifting ground*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Laughs and backflips out of the ground with little effort, landing on my hand in your direction, which cracks under the increased weight of my body, and proceeds to approach you with consecutive spins and twists, which violently shake the ground the closer I get*

@Etcetera

*Leaps across the gap of one of the cracks as you approach, pushing off with enough strength to collapse the unstable ground behind me while also propelling myself well into the air*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Don't know what that is!
*Gravity accelerates me immediately downward, and I hit the ground with a squatting position, producing huge cracks from which searing flames lick upward*

@Etcetera

*Steps around the nearest blaze and starts running parallel to you along the cracks and their infernal spew*
