*Shrugs*

Sure, why not? You might be the breakthrough I need in any case.

@ZAVAZggg

Alright. Off, we go.

*we warp away from the planet, arriving on a dustball of a planet. The scenery around us is nothing but rock*

Alright, let's crank this up a notch.

*flicks towards you, and a burst of energy rips outward, aimed at your chest*

Good thing that I'm a liberator, not a villain.

@souleaterfan320

*Glances back at you*

So is every monster.

@souleaterfan320

*Eyes narrowing, I sidestep the burst to charge at you from your left, sliding into a kick aimed directly for your groin*

@ZAVAZggg

*flips my hand around to catch your kick, bring my elbow crushing down into it, and with the same free hand, I fire several blasts of energy into your face while still holding your foot with the other hand*

*My eye widens and you almost, almost, think you're getting through before it rolls in its socket. A clear gesture of disregard towards your words*

Oh no! Anyway...

*The eye vanishes as we draw nearer to the planet's atmosphere*

Dinner nears.

@Caldizar

You're not making this any easier! Are you sure we can't talk this out?

@souleaterfan320

*I bear the brunt of the blasts, though one does manage to catch me in the eye, destroying it while narrowly missing the underside of my brain resting mere millimeters above. Screaming, I twist my body at the hip to bring the heel of my free leg crashing into your jaw, giving myself enough time to disengage*

Ugh... n-not bad...

*Panting, I rest a hand on my broken leg just above the knee as it quickly begins to mend and heal, my other hand resting above the hole now standing in place of my eye*

But... whew... it'll take more than that to stop me.

*My leg now fully healed, I assume a combat ready stance*

Talk is cheap! Especially with ants!

@ZAVAZggg

Mio: Huh. Yeah he does have potential, that's for sure. But this isn't going to-

*Interrupts her*

It's fine, this's fine. It'll be juuuuuust fine.

Mio: *Puts another candy stick in my mouth and sighs*

@ZAVAZggg

*steps back, rubbing my jaw*
.....seriously? I did that much damage to you? I'm kind of dissapointed. Oh well, sticking to physical attacks it is.

*darts towards you, thrusting my fist into your stomach with enough force to send a normal person flying hundreds of feet into the air*

@Threads of Fate

Worried about your new prospect? How nice of you to join us.

@Caldizar

*Bursts forward in a flash of colorful sparks and catches you mid-air, punching you with a large mechanical gauntlet that shapes over my hand*
Seems like it!

@souleaterfan320

*Allows myself to be hit, as I need time to ponder a few things*

Let's see... what was it about using my astral form that I found so difficult again?

*Tries to form an expression of realization but fails as the wind is knocked from me instead*

Oh that's right! Moving in tandem.

*Looking down at you through my remaining eye, I smile, though it looks more like a grimace given the circumstances*

Yes... you're just the breakthrough I need...

*Twisting through the air, I kick against your chest with blinding speed to create some distance once again. Upon doing so, and properly ensuring I am by myself for a least a few seconds anyway, I fall back into the same physical exercises from earlier in the day, my movements flowing like water*

Now... as long as he just stays over there for a second or two longer so I can get ahold of this... I should be fine.

@Meta

*A hundred tons worth of weight crashes against you, our descent slowing greatly, but not halting*

How annoying...

*Sends out a mental command to the world below, laser batteries and anti-air installations beginning to open fire directly on you*

@Caldizar

Great...
*Keeps my back to the people and slams my fist into you, bursting into sparks with each hit, while the weapons making contact with me cause a similar reaction, my flesh healing as fast as they strike*

@Meta

*Rumbles and roars, not in anger you quickly realize, but laughter, surprise, and just the tinniest hint of true frustration*

I swear I will never understand why you insects simply can't accept your place in the grand scheme of things!

*The batteries below steadily increase their fire, and if you turn your head a certain way, you can see the telltale glow of missile launches blooming across the planet's surface*

I will survive the onslaught worm, but tell me...

*My tendrils extend to grasp your gauntleted hand, attempting to shred and tear it apart*

WILL YOU?!

CAN YOU?!

@Caldizar

Believe it or not—
*You shred the hand without any difficulty*
That's what I'm best at!
*Large mechanical boots form over my feet and I let the artillery shred my back, but my flesh seems to form out of the colorful flickers at a faster rate the more I take damage, which propels me into you with a forceful kick*

@Meta

*Takes the hit with a bellow, my body fracturing into thousands of individual pieces due to the force of the impact. Despite this, you hear an all too familiar voice ring out in your head mere seconds later*

Oh dear, it looks like the insect made a mistake!

*Chuckles*

Then again, how could you have fathomed my true plan? I never mentioned needing to land on a planet wholesale, after all...

*It is now that you see it. The height at which my body was fragmented and splintered was not enough to ensure the leftovers would burn because of the insane amounts of friction, and now they are - several thousand of them - continuing their journey to the surface below. The very same place from which you can see hundreds of thermonuclear warheads rapidly approaching*

You were a brief amusement worm, and because of that I'll make their deaths painless and quick. They shall fall believing they are becoming one with their god, because in an ironic sort of way, they are.

*A cruel and mocking laughter fills your head as the warheads draw close and closer still! And then...*

Checkmate. Goodbye, worm.

@ZAVAZggg

*takes note of your movement after the kick, jetting into the air to send down a couple of small energy blasts aimed at your feet to knock off your balance*

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

It's something bigger than that.

@Etcetera

Sandra:... whatever this new responsibility brings you, I'll be here with you through it all. I'll be your shield and spear, just handle the paperwork side for me.

Come on!
*The boot structures activate an embedded set of lasers, which propel me toward the planet at breakneck speeds*

*Cracks a small smile*
Paperwork is the least of my worries.
