<Snipped quote by Host>

*Saunters slowly up to it, approaching it as you do*
Where does it come from?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

There's a control center if we take a detour. I think our speedy friend's badge can get us there, at least.
*Nods to Isis*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Winces as the rubble explodes around me, and I shove a massive block off my body*
How did you get here?
*Holds my hand over the wounds, and they fill themselves with ever-flowing sand, momentarily stopping the bleeding*
It'll take more than that—
*Raises my pistol and fires two shots into you, which accelerate to superliminal speeds*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*the bullets smash against my chest upon impact, shattering into tiny shards that I then cover with amranthine, aimed at you*

Have these back.

*black lighting shoots through them, launchign them at you at visually unpercievable speeds, which explode like bombs upon impact, rocking you with the force of 10 tonnes*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Sand erupts from my body at the point of impact, piling up on the ground below me*
That's going to hurt tomorrow... Need to end this now.
*In a dancelike orchestration of movements, fires bullets into the future across the battlefield, reloading my gun every so often, other times slicing across in an arc with their sharpened undersides, resulting in a flurry of destruction aimed for a time to come*
It's over, Aeron.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Aeron: hey, that's my line.

*snaps my fingers, and a pinpoint of amaranthine energy appears in my hand, as I raise the hand above my head, the orb grows exponentially in size, reaching the size of a large meteorite in minimal time*

This has been fun, but ive had enough games for one day. The Tier Five will fall this night, mark my words.

*I send the orb in your direction*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*In a spectacular waltz of destruction, the attacks I sent into the future collide with you one after another, and I take off in an accelerated run from the meteor*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Aeron: My body glows with amaranthine, the wounds slowly healing over time*

you can't stop what's coming Time Line, the Tier Five will fall, and the Golden path will be realized.

*the meteor connects with the ground near you, exploding with a vicious ferocity, shaking the very ground you run on. the force of the impact combined with the force of the explosion reaches you*

*Nods to Isis*

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Glances back*
Uh, I think so, probably.

<Snipped quote by Host>

In what direction?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Because I'm thinking I can save us the trip and sever whatever is connecting the barrier to the control center from here and save us the trip, and the time.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Points through the rightmost gate*
How do you plan to do that?

<Snipped quote by Host>

A wire or something powering the barrier surely comes from where to control center is, so I'll probably hit it if I melt everything running from here to there.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I think the Panda machine projects those things. We should probably, really not break it if we can.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Nods immediately with a hurried lack of opposition*
Okay then, lead the way.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Scans my ID, enters a bypass code, and the doors lift*
Somehow the system still thinks you're an intruder, I guess? If you stay next to me, I think you'll be okay.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We'll find out one way or another.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I sure am glad dad made me an admin.
*On reaching the nearest high-privilege system terminal, I pull up the user administration interface and start adding Violet to the system*
Dad and his theatrics...
*Two keyholes open up from a panel in the terminal*
Do either of you happen to be good at lockpicking?

I can try something I saw in a cartoon once, maybe?...
