King: It's not about power.
*takes the kick, but I remain unmoving, and you feel as if you'd just kicked solid mineral*

It's what you do with it. Amaranthine isnt a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card. Is simply a means to defy death to continue your growth, the power it gives still has to be learned, and everyone has their own unique way of using it.

*Lowers my leg and slides my hands into my pockets as I take a step back, the hand I withdrew earlier having regained its rigidity in the interim*

Yet you have no choice but to use it once you have it. You can't even branch out to pursue other potentials, because your whole existence lies within a singular thing.

*Shrugs*

It's not a very enticing prospect. As for defying death, I doubt yours is the only way. Why I myself know that I have walked this world in different incarnations before, though I've yet to unlock the specific memories those lives entail. In that way I already defy death just fine, so again I must ask...

*Pauses, my gaze locking with yours*

Why should I join you? You offer me nothing I cannot reasonably achieve on my own, save for empty promises perhaps.

@ZAVAZggg

*Disappears, reappearing between you two imperceptibly quickly from where I was standing, a wide grin on my face*

And that, there, is the kicker!

*I turn to face King*

Get out of here, has-been. And take your flowers with you.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

You cite endless progress, yet once again I must question whether or not what you've done thus far can truly be called such. After all, a person concerned with the advancement of their own potential will not play the tyrant. And of course I refuse still, for your own words betray you!

*My expression changes to something between incredulity and disappointment*

If another will come to me in time or, in the most likely case I myself attain it as a side effect of my journey rather than as the goal you seem to be fixated on, then why would I so much as consider joining you? You spoke of life eternal as though it was hard to come by, but betray yourself in the very next breath by revealing its sheer commonality!

*Sighs and turns to Harlock*

If these are the kinds of people you deal with on a daily basis, then you have my sympathy. Truly their foolishness knows no bounds.

@ZAVAZggg

*Watches from a ways behind you*

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.

@Source

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.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Your grudge against Tier Five could lead to complete annihilation.

@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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

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

@Source

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

There are greater concerns than your authorization at play.

@Source

Such as?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What did you prepare for?

@Source

I'm not authorized to tell you that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

I hope you came prepared.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Not that I was expecting any from the start.

@Source

That depends entirely on what for.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Why don’t we take a visit to my home away from home.
*The orb expands, causing all attacks launched at me in the moment to totally disappear, as though left behind in another place in Existence. The new space overwhelms it and takes its place. The entire battlefield becomes replaced with the same location as the assault in which Violet was pitched into the storm. All weapons and objects not part of anyone’s person are left behind*

@Melodious

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Falls from my elevated position in where the ship was to the ground, then pushes myself to my feet and looks up*
It’s his tower...

@GalaxyRaider

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I see. While regrettable, there are worse outcomes.

@Source

Not exactly what I was looking for, but I'll take it.

*Quickly hones in on your location*

@Source

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Evades it by leaping fully out of the rift-pocket I was in, and fires a larger version of the same thing toward Sven and Kat*

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Shrugs them off stoically*
Armies were already felled at the hands of my lesser. So long as you understand you are charging to your doom...
*Waits for them to start entering the dome*

@Melodious

*Watches*
