<Snipped quote by Melodious>

This... is..
*Stands up, the lines pulling themselves closed once again*
Bigger than that!
*Both of my arms convert into the same beast as before, this time focusing the resulting beam onto the crystal with pinpoint accuracy*

@Webmaster

It is. It's bigger than you personal ideals,
*Quickly closes the gap between us while holding an arm up to obstruct the beam*
it's bigger than your individual convictions,
*Kicks one of your legs out from under you, and quickly follows up with a knee to the face*
and it's bigger than you!
*Stomps down on you and the crystal concussively blasts you once again*

@Melodious

*Two of the same shields that made the previous wall bite onto your foot and shield me from the blast, getting shredded in the process*

@Webmaster

So stop pretending you know anything!
*Releases a huge burst of kinetic energy in all directions, knocking you further to the floor and impeding anyone else coming to your aid*

To fix problems they couldn’t solve?

@Nimda

Essentially.

@Melodious

*A collection of distorted gray voxels rapidly fill the flesh that the attack destroys*
No one should cross... the line you stepped over.
*The gray squares coalesce into my palm, scraping past each other quickly and randomly, generating a three-foot-wide sphere of black lightning that surges with unstable power*
Bug Death Thunder!
*Shoves the orb into your body, where the black lightning rocks across your form, and its individual components tear apart and corrupt anything they touch*

@Webmaster

*Presses one hand against your face, and another hand on your shoulder, falling forward and pinning you to the floor*
I absolutely detest to admit this...
*The crystal grows brightly*
But there is a greater good to be fought for here. Your pettiness stands in the way of the freedom of many and the safety of your Existence. If I am going to succeed... No one in this room can be spared.
*The crystal fires off beams more frequently than it has so far into various points on your body*

@Melodious

*Steps in next to her and places my foot between the crystal and her, the beams coalescing into small orbs before firing vertically between the ceiling and floor until they expend their energy*

@Melodious

Then your beliefs were flawed from the beginning!
*Fires another ball of black lightning into your face*

@Webmaster

You're the ones trying to kill for your status quo!
*The crystal zaps it and sends it flying perpendicularly to its original path into Fourth*

*Shoves you into the path of the rebounding energy before it expends*

@Melodious

*Holds one hand forward and one hand up, causing each object to freeze in place when it enters my palm*
Is ideology truly meaningful in a fight for control?
*Pulls the two energies together into a single unit that collapses into an unstable reaction and explodes outward, restricted in its motion and concentrated on you*

@Melodious

Because we do whatever it takes to survive!
*The gray cubes form a shifting, sword like structure that cleaves into your crystal*
That’s what life is!

It's only a matter of control for one side-
*Points two fingers at the blast, reconcentrating it into a small ball held in the space just beyond my fingertips*

@Webmaster

*Tilts my head, causing the sword to scrape off the crystal and create sparks*
-and never affected survival, if not for all the resistance.
*Releases all the energy back into an explosion at you point-blank*

@Melodious

One side is all that’s needed.
*The water vapor in the air condenses into an unnaturally strong shield of ice in front of us both, morphing around the blade of the sword*

@Caldizar

You’d think that being gods, they’d try to avoid making something they couldn’t stop.

@Fractured

Oh they could, but destroying an entire race isn't really befitting a god of magic or war or nature. We had our parts to play after all.

Pretty much.

@Caldizar

Then did your roles mean anything besides the actor you were playing?

@Fractured

Not really no. At least they shouldn't have anyway, but gods being what we are, it becomes easy to forget that it was all a game.
