<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Inhales deeply, then exhales deeply*
I'll go, but I'm not leaving. I'll be in the shadows.
*Leaps upward from the ground straight to the rooftops, disappearing from view*

<Snipped quote by Source>

Screw that. We're winning with her around.
*The storm continues to weaken*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Are you suggesting we investigate?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yes I am.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Hovering over a nearby intersection, Alexandria is emitting a glaring purple light and seeming to partially phase at random. As an NKVD truck nears her, a psychic lightning bolt immediately rends it from existence entirely.*

Alexandria!

*Alexandria turns to look at me, her eyes glowing violet. I drop my weapons and begin to slowly approach her alongside Katerina.*

Alexandria, it's okay. You're okay. We're not going to hurt you.

Katerina: We won't let them hurt you, either. Never, ever, ever.

Alexandria: GO AWAY!

*Her voice shakes the earth. I stumble, then steady myself.*

Alexandria, remember what we do? Breathe in, breathe out. In, out. Understand?

Alexandria: I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET HURT!

I don't care if I get hurt, Alexandria! You need to calm down. Please. Before you hurt yourself.

Alexandria: DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND!? IF YOU STAY... I'LL KILL YOU!

Alexandria, you're still my daughter! You're still Alexandria! Should I fetch Uncle Misha?

Alexandria: NO! GET AWAY!

Alexandria, please! I- I beg you! I don't care if I die, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got hurt.

Alexandria: THEN WHY... IS HE HERE?

*Alexandria's arm phases and reappears pointing directly at Leon. Her eyes glow brighter.*

LEON, RUN!

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Tch-
*Leaps several stories into the sky once again, landing on a solid platform of energy that forms beneath my feet. Using said platforms as they repeatedly form beneath my feet and dissipate, I dash away in the sky*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Ugh, fine. Let's do this.

*The android extends its arm, its circuits crackling with relayed psychic energy. With a bang, the storm is briefly forced away from Melody before I pull her even harder back towards the anchor. As I do this, however, my android shell begins to fail and disintegrate, not meant for such power to be channeled.*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I hope for your sake that this doesn’t cost us victory today.

*My silhouette becomes visible through the storm, facing the opposite direction*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Oh, what now?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Another one?

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Lead the way, then. You’re the master-level mage.

*Is gripping the crystal in Nemid's head as the mist continues to clear further, seemingly in some sort of struggle with him*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Alright, let's take the stairs.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*The android collapses to its knees.*

Oh, deeeeeaaaaarrrrrr...

*Then, the machine falls backwards, disintegrating into dust.*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Analyzes the situation before cautiously approaching*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Alexandria sees this, and shoots off after Leon at a medium-transonic speed.*

Unknown: ALEXANDRIA, STOP!

*Alexandria immediately halts to look at Mikhail. Both I and Katerina are thoroughly astonished, as this is the first time he has spoken in years.*

Mikhail: Alexandria, don't hurt that man. That's not like you. Come down. You want a hug from Uncle Misha?

*Alexandria's glow begins to wane as she descends, until she is dark and hovering only about six inches off the ground. She floats towards Mikhail and they engage in what must be a rather uncomfortable hug, as Mikhail is wearing a set of power armor.*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*I have the crystal in my grasp, while Nemid has my arms in his grasp. Towering over me, he forces me to fall to one knee, bhut I don't let go*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*Walks down the stone steps*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Moves within range of Nemid and taps both arms, creating a massive repulsing force from his fingers*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>
