<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Scans quickly across the universe, searching for where Faering or the monster may have gone*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Is along the same path we took before, still locked in combat with the monster, but now protecting one of the black creatures that stands in Roland’s place and tries to hop into any attack it sees*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Roland, Faering is still there with it. You can focus that attack instead of bringing everything crumbling down.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

She’s strong. She’ll get away.

Roland!

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

…
*Sighs, and after a moment, likely with Chickpea’s assistance, I lock eyes with the exact point in space where the monster is currently positioned, and I tug on the space held in my grip, defying physics itself and hurling myself instantaneously from where I stand directly into the body if the beast with one of the most catastrophically explosive physical punches ever witnessed*

*The strike rattles across the surface of the spheroid, the kinetic energy instantly bubbling the fleshy stone into lava pits, which evaporate into gas—shockwaves erupt across the internals of the body, and the strike ejects fragments across nearby space; one of the fragments manages to penetrate Faering's aura and scratches the blob creature, the scratch immediately reflecting itself across your own cheek*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Hurls myself in front of the creature to protect it from any further oncoming strikes*
Roland!
*Lifts my hand and a serrated disk of gold light spirals outward from a central point, which I fling into the broken enemy, cleaving open wide trenches in the new lava pits*

*Manifests by the creature and spins around it, staring studiously*
Weeeell, what is this curious little thing?

*Stands up straight and lets out a monstrous battle cry before beginning ti repeatedly pound into the surface of the planet, digging through it massive chunk by massive chunk*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Whatever it is, it keeps trying to get itself killed. And knowing our opponent, I'm not going to let it.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Well your instinct seems correct. I’ll watch this thing. We need you to not hold back.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Nods in courtesy before launching off, landing with an eruption of golden streamers and wedging the planet open by a hair*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Lands forcefully beside you, raising my arms up and slamming them down into the opening you’ve made, forcefully attempting to pry it apart like an elevator door*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*With a terrible, wet "schlick" noise, splits into two halves, both floating independently across space and time*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Wherever I belonged, whoever I knew before. It doesn't exist anymore. I have no place.
*Attaches my gun to my hip*
I know you disabled the gun. I can't stop you. If you came to reclaim what belongs to you, just do it.
*Walks away*

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

I…
*Clenches my fist momentarily, then relaxes*
Reclaiming what’s mine is only part of it. There are things here that don’t belong here. Weapons, technology… Reminders. And people, as I’ve just learned.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Steps over onto the half with Faering as it goes, panting*
