<Snipped quote by Source>

For good. I'm not sure what sort of anomaly this is, but once my shattered core restabilizes, it's over.
*My arms fall limp to my sides, as though exhausted*
The struggle.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

We’re no strangers to that idea. But in the end, everywhere has its own horrors.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Brave words for a dead man.
*Snaps, generating a brief electric arc between my fingertips that ignites the debris you created, resulting in a catastrophic dust explosion that consumes everything in sight*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Indeed... Hold on, the path up ahead is starting to open up that and I'm starting to feel like this place is a little different from before.

*The hallway opens up into a large cylindrical room that's open at the top and extends far bellow and is marked with a spiraling staircase that stops periodically at a series of doorways similar to the place we arrived at*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

You say that with such confidence, despite your own ignorance. You won't succeed.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I do not know why you exist here in this larger-than-life state with me. But it's already over. Nothing more even needs be done.

<Snipped quote by System>
Aeron:
*the blaze of the explosion engulfs me, and after a few moments, you notice the energy of the blaze lift into the sky, with me below the majority of it. It seems like I'm pulling it into a large, bomb style orb above me*

I'm sorry, Techi. If I have the opportunity to end you now.. I'm going to. You're going to die helping a former friend you no longer care about, how does that feel?

Shinji: no... no one else is dying. I've lost too many for that. Even if Techi never forgives me... I'd never give up on them. Ever.

*looks to you*

..Techi.... I'm not gonna be much help in fighting this guy, but I can call in for help. I'll need some time. Do you know how to use a sword?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

You don't think this just... takes us to the bottom of the dungeon, do you?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Yeah, you ignore it and use your fists.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I'd send Noct up and see where we are, but for all we know this could be another illus-

*I take a knee and look over the edge*

Wait... There's an aura down there. Right at the bottom, it's bright red too.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

You do not understand the power in Existence. The strength of many far exceed my own.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I understand, which is why I chose ours to begin with.

<Snipped quote by System>

*rolls my eyes, and hands you my sword*

Take this. I don't know why, but this seems to be the only thing we have that can land direct hits on him, even through his aura.... We don't have much time.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Gazes down into the pit*
Well, what do you know? There sure is!

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I don't understand.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

It's most likely a guard. Seeing the earlier enchantments, it's not going to be an easy fight. Whoever built this place really didn't want anyone coming in or out of this place.

*At the bottom was a greyish blob shifting and squirming that spanned at five meters in span and height*

From the looks of it, it's what I would call an Amalgam or a slime of some kind.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I haven’t struggled to take a reality since I started my quest. The potential in ours is massive, winning here skips countless others.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

"Ours"?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Agh, fine.
*A spinning green sawblade materializes above the sword and cuts it cleanly in two diagonally, before electrically binding each half to the top of my forearms*
Let's roll!

<Snipped quote by Source>

Ours. I hail from the Brinkspace surrounding Existence.
