Jack could feel all the strength in his legs give out as he was forced to one knee. So Klara could magically compel someone to do her bidding, but she didn't even [i]think[/i] to use that on the woman who was trying to sacrifice the universe to a god? Well, he could hardly blame her for that, since she was just a child. A child by Asgardian standards, but a child no less. Everyone was picking sides now because of his attempt to quickly stop whatever plan Runa had come to, and Jack couldn't blame them for that either. Murder wasn't something he [i]enjoyed,[/i] but what choice did they have right now? Were they supposed to just let this happen? Let them walk free while the others sorted out a mess that Runa was only going to make worse with her refusal to help? Max had an idea that was sound in theory, but it would only delay the inevitable.

[color=6644ff]"Destroying the pentagram is not enough. The Veil is in [i]tatters,"[/i][/color] he explained, after Max had left. [color=6644ff]"Even if we stop Limbo from [i]deliberately[/i] merging with Earth, there is very little standing in the way of it happening regardless. The Veil is what separates one world from the next! The demons can still cross over without resistance! Without the Veil, there is no long-term chance of Earth surviving this, and Runa will sacrifice us all afterwards if she has her way!"[/color]

They had to understand, even if the others in the circuit were the only ones capable of grasping the logic, [i]someone[/i] here had to understand. That the scale of this disaster encompassed all of humanity and other worlds. Runa was a vulture waiting to pick apart a corpse, and would do what must be done to ensure that the corpse truly [i]died.[/i] She had a piece of the power they needed, and she wanted to use it for an unspeakable act. One that would get them all killed. It was something they could not allow to happen, or [i]none of them[/i] would see the end of it.

He got to his feet again, and faced the others who hadn't left already. [color=6644ff]"Imagine everyone you've ever known and loved- Everyone you've ever cared for and held dear- Gone, reduced to a memory. Cast into a funeral pyre while the Earth is left to rot. Is this everlasting peace that Runa promises worth that to you? I have no desire [i]whatsoever[/i] to harm anyone,"[/color] he stated firmly. [color=6644ff]"But there will be [i]nothing. Left.[/i] If we cannot find a way to [i]fully[/i] stop this invasion... Decide for yourselves what you believe to be the correct decision."[/color]

And then, he did the mature thing, and walked out of the Sanctum.

He saw the pentagram and decided to fly upwards. The cloak responded and carried him up, but as he flew towards the construction, Jack could feel his skin since and threaten to fall off his bones. Getting up personal was definitely not an option, so he thought about it for a moment.

[color=6644ff]”That is made of energy… And all energy must go [i]somewhere.[/i] So, what if… Yes.”[/color]

Jack had an idea.
