*Runs with you*

@Dynamics

-Spectre- *Exits the city and catches a glimpse of Becker running into the forest* I think that's him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*approaches you nonchalantly, stroking both sides of my hair away from my face; I shoot either side of you with explosive bullets to keep you down and then shoot your stomach with something that seems harmless*

@Mammalia

*Walls of water rise up on either side of me as I recover, protecting me from the blasts, and when you shoot me in the gut harmlessly, I scramble to my feet and run into the forest*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Lead the way.

@Dynamics

*jumps on my cycle and rides down the main street out of the city*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Let's go, then.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- Yes, we had better. This is suspicious and strange on several levels. I'm sure we can both trace him, and I can trace Spirit, too.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*catches the whips with magical chains and jerks my hands back, flinging you forward toward me before I let go of one of the chains and shoot you in the gut with an explosive bullet*

@Mammalia

*is blown back even farther than before, near the outskirts of a forest by the city*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Not particularly.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- Well, there are no more explosions. ... Actually, there's no magical presence inside this city at all. Other than the source of the villain.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*The bullet emits a large explosion that throws you back several yards; I comb my hair back* Mm, you have so much magic power. A Dragon Slayer, aren't you? Perfect. *begins shooting more bullets at you that don't hurt you but send massive gusts of wind that push you back farther and farther, dazing you each time*

@Mammalia

Gah! This is why I need Spectre... *the next time you push me, a curving ramp of ice forms behind me and the gust pushes me out of your way, giving me time to reorient myself and take a stance* Ice Dragon Wing Attack! *whips of ice form in my hands and I swing them at you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*The army disappears before your eyes, and I am right in front of you, stroking the side of my hair back with a grin* Surprise, surprise! It's a trap. *points two fingers at you and a ball of light forms between them*

@Mammalia

*My eyes widen and I hold a hand in front of me, an ad hoc shield of ice forming before me as I slap my hand to my side, hitting a button inside my pocket and then doing so again*
-Spectre- *startles when I hear a beep and a vibration on my waist* Spirit is in trouble. *the beep occurs again* Urgent trouble. Have you noticed there are no more explosions?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

This is going to drain most of my magic power. Will you be fine after that?

@Dynamics

-Spectre- Yes. Spirit and I are a good team; we can deal with anything that comes at the town afterwards.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

And amplify them.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- Good.
-*reaches the army* Water Dragon: Roar! *a huge blast of water hits the army, laced with thousands of shards of ice*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Analyze!
*Magic surrounds the object and small numbers begin to fly off of it*

@Dynamics

*the explosions stop once I exit the town, but I notice another seemingly large army mobilising a good ways a way and surf toward it*
-Spectre- Ah, I see you're putting your Analysis Magic to work. Do you plan to replicate the object's functions yourself?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

...These will work.
*Grabs a cylinder with runes on it*

@Dynamics

*finds myself just outside of the town*
-Spectre- Then let's do it, quickly.
