*Sighs*This doesn't make sense, but I can tell I won't change your mind. Life is too predictable for that. If I don't see you again, I'm going to hunt you down, got it?

Wouldn't expect any less... Goodbye David.
*sprints into the fray and you lose sight of me amongst the mangled and broken bodies of the giants fighting around me.*

But you don't even know him! This is completely illogical and irrational!

*eerily calm.*
But I do know him, David. He is me, as I was... As I am. Scared and afraid and angry. If I can help him maybe I.... Maybe I can atone for some of the things I've done... Maybe he can help others... I don't know, but I'm going to help him.

LegendBegins said
Wait, what now? No! Get real, let's get out of here.

No. That boy is lost and confused and he needs help. I know. That was me, David. You weren't here when I first got here. I destroyed and hurt without meaning to. And I was oblivious to it all... I can help him David. Just let me go... I can do it.

LegendBegins said
Yeah. Now we should go. This was a bad idea.

But...
*I think*
... No. You go. I'm staying to help. That boy he... He needs help. Guidance. He was abandoned by his creators and... I need to stay. You go.

*The stones in the area become jagged and begin shooting at them while I use psychokinesis and blast them with kinetic energy*

*the centurions begin to have easier time slicing into the centipedes now that they are distracted by your stones and the phschokinesis crushes some of them outright. Our combined power begins to push back the tide of centipiedes.*
It's working.

Need help?

*I stagger as the exhaustion hits me.*
Yes... Please.
*a centurion picks up a centipede and rips it in half before slicing through another one. My shadow beasts are picking them up and throwing them to where the centurions will have an easier time killing them. But they are still substantially outnumbered.*

*Stomps as the walls behind us and everything on them freezes*In case you can't tell, I really, really like this fruit.

*the ones on the floor and walls legs freeze, but the rest crawl over them and continue the case. Just as they begin to catch up and we can feel their mandibles snap at our necks their leg on stone clacking turns into the CLINK of metal. The panel slides back and the centurian steps out immediately his blade shoots out and his gravely voice yells," Citizens in danger!" Several other centurians walk out with him and begin attacking, but they begin to be overwhelmed. I get on my knees and put my hands to the floor. The shadows in the cavern begin to make themselves into animals of prey before attacking the centipedes.*

*Drops the ice*I would make a snide remark, but I'll not.*Runs that way*

You're right not the time for snideness
*The insects begin to chase us, their centapede like legs clacking on the floor in a thunderous cacophony. I turn for a brief moment and slice my hand through the air, sending a blade of shadow to slice through them. It slices one into a quarter of what it was, but the rest keep coming.*

*Creates an ice shield all the way around us*Okay, this thing isn't going to hold up for long. The exit is right there and this shield won't hold up much longer. I don't have the Artifacts, but I have the devil fruits. We need a plan, and quickly.

*thinking*
We.... We could bottle-neck them in the hall way, concentrate them so that they're easier to shoot at or slice at... Wait a second! The Hallway! We could get them to set off the Centuries in the hallway!
*begins running toward that direction.*

Myriad Reality

*I say in warning*
David, I'm not strong enough to fight these things with my original power. We need to-
The boy: RUN
*the insects begin jumping off the walls at us and we see that they have centapede like bodies, but they have the faces of people. They begin to slice and snap at us.*
