Shinji: what's the plan?

@souleaterfan320

Record: Well now that Flicker is fully asleep, any objects I manifest are far less stable. So if they try to absorb or bind with incoming energy types, they'll likely self collapse along with the energy.
We could use that property as a kind of defense, but this has never been tested, so the results could range from me running out of manifestable material to having literal unpredictable explosion types chasing us there and back.
And given what you told me about this stuff, it could also end up worse.

HOW DARE—!
*Darkness pours into my left eye before the black blood erupts from it and needles toward you in spike form*

@Fractured

*Protects my eyes and allows my personal shield to take the impacts*

@Armed Forces

*Rockets toward you and swings my scythe into your shield*

@Fractured

*Jumps over it and takes aim at your right leg*

@Armed Forces

*Slices into the ground and uses the flat of the scythe to unearth a chunk of the floor, rifling it toward you*

@Stabby

shinji:..... its too risky.... we should just go get help. someone who is more suited for this. risking two lives for the sake of one isn't an acceptable trade, not while we could still make it back in time to still rescue her and the others. I just don't want to leave her like that... damnit.....

*My left hand begins to radiate a flourescent cyan energy in rhythmic waves, and I swipe it through the air between us, closing the gap between you, King, and myself as the space itself is cleanly obliterated, and kicks King with equal force and opposing direction to Mierno*

@Heroic

*the force repels off my body back at you, as if it were redirected by an unknown force*
King: that's not gonna work.

*lashes out at you with a vicious kick, sending you into the amaranthine barrier, that begins attempting to corrupt you*

*turns to Mierno, but notices Kat's body*

hmm..

*underneath her, a portal of amaranthine engulfs her, and in the new amranthine world she finds herself in, a crystal floats by her. almost as if detecting her body, it flings itself into her, beginning the process of corruption*

shinji: NO! DAMNIT! *watching the battle from the base, I slam my fist into the wall, cracking a wooden beam*

.... fuck...

@souleaterfan320

Record: That's a fair assessment.
...Right now though, making a prompt choice will likely lead to better results, simply because of time not wasted. Opportunities may be missed regardless, but more is lost over indecision than what isn't.

@souleaterfan320

Record: *Sees it happen and immediately acts, manifesting a unstable knife and cutting off two warm, dimly glowing things from beneath my hair.* Take these and hide. *Quickly tossing them to Shinji, I make a mad dash towards the portal as my form vanishes from sight. Within a second my form reappears as I drop in and quickly take stock of the situation. I manifest an unstable platform to land on and walls form the shape of a cube soon after I'm down. Sparing no hesitation in my eyes or my actions, I quickly attempt to slice out any infected parts of her body with some extra margen to anticipate the continuing encroachment of the amaranthine and throw them aside.*

@Spiritblitz

*Your appearance is converted into a series of cubes that turn into a translucent-blue form and shoot upward*
Alright, I'll be right behind you. Jack in.
*Does the same, and we reappear in the middle of a bustling cyberscape*
