Oh yeah, weirdest thing. It closed no problem the second time.

@Legend

Hopefully it was worth the trip. Can you help us get past this security jow that you’re here?
*Thumbs to the gates and barriers*

*Stares, wide-eyed*
Uhhhh...
*Goes to a panel on the wall near the pool and hovers my phone next to it*
I can, er, turn up the temperature?

*Sighs*
So can I.
*Takes a deep breath, placing my hand on the wall near us, feeling for electron flow to pinpoint where power is flowing to the energy fields from*

@Audacious

*The wall itself applies a similar forcefield, but you do sense that the doors have been closed mechanically*
Uh, let's see... music player... humidity...

Where is the Panda device relative to where we are?straight ahead? Not far, still kinda far?

We still have to get you registered in the control room, which is a few minutes detour to the edge of the chasm. She could sprint the distance, but it's a walk for us.

@Host

Don’t think I can just cheat the whole way there?

@Audacious

Now that the system has adapted for you, burning the facility down doesn't look like an option.

@Host

I found an extra setting! There's an emergency release for this room specifically, since it's a safety hazard.

*Exhales a sigh of relief*
Thank goodness…

I can find other tricks if need be. Getting stuck isn’t an option.

@Audacious

As soon as she opens that gate, we're probably going to run into more of them.
*Nods toward Isis*
She can run through before they close, but do you have a way to slow them down?

Where do they come from?

@Audacious

That I wish I knew. Up, somewhere.

@Host

What if… the whole room just went away?

@Audacious

That's also an option. But we need to shut down—
*Walks up to one of the holographic walls and raps my knuckles against it, revealing the yellow grid*
The barrier first. That would be the fastest way out of here.

*Unholsters my pistols and aims one at Aeron*
Can do.
*Fires at Aeron, the bullet nearly instantly blipping from the barrel into his chest*

@Artifact

*It cracks the armor I wear, as a sly grin shows on my face*

Aeron: I dont think you realize just how fucked you and Dane are, right now.
*it seemingly self-repairs, as if time itself were unwound, a green hue eminating from it, and I snap my fingers as a purple jewel appears in my hand, with ancient writing inscribed upon its surface*

I believe you know what this does, right Dane?

Dane:You wouldn't dare. *dane practicially spits the words out.

Aeron: *a dark but ancient aura eminates from my very being, something much, much older than myself*

See, the problem with your statement is that I already have.

*the pyramid beside us a mile back begins to shake and rumble, cracking with a purple hue along the surface*

Dane: STOP HIM, NOW!

*teleports behind Aeron to stab him in the back, just as dane snaps again, freezing time with a grean aura around us all, including yourself*

You're too late, as always.

*goes to stab Dane in the chest*

@souleaterfan320

Not the counterplay I was hoping for—
*Lifts two fingers, and piercing desert sands whip up around us, as if eroding time itself*

@Artifact

Aeron: a weak attempt.

*punches through the whipping sand with a green aura coated hand, grabbing you by the face, the coated hand seemingly locked in its own unique passage of time, before you are thrown toward a large, crumbling building. I then raise my arm, summoning a deep purple orb*

Aeron: allow me to introduce you to the first ever Void-Class Amaranthine weapon. I call it...

*several bolts of energy flit across the sky, piercing through you as you crash against the buildigns surface*

God's Hand.
