<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*small cracks begin to appear on the surface of my body, but immediately reform moments after the attack's impact*

...a million cuts wouldn't suffice. A trillion wouldnt. Cut and cut, little swordsman. Fight against inevitability.

*another me appears from the blackness of space behind you, shoving a well placed knee into your side with world crushing power*

Your weak flesh is nothing compared to real strength.

@souleaterfan320

*That me is completely annihilated by the attack and I bring the Soul Caliber onto your dome from your side, ringing like a bell on strike*
Real strength comes from those you fight to protect.
*At the same time, slices up from between your legs with the Soul Edge, burning with power*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*the slash leaves tiny indents in my skin which heal moments after*

Out of power? Are you an idiot? No way this is the real deal.

*flicks at a pebble of space junk nearby, causing its matter to explode outward at you with incredible speed*

@souleaterfan320

*Flicks the each blade in my hand to point toward my arm and extends them from either side like clock hands*
Like a cornered animal.
*As soon as the explosion makes contact, the blades point inward and accelerate myself toward you faster with each piece of energy they take in, and in one fluid motion I swing my blade through your abdomen*
Death by a thousand cuts is still death.

*amaranthine crystallizes at the base of my neck where your blade touches, comsuming any residual energy from the blade*

You had your chance to kill me and ruined it, David.

*Soul Calibur clinks against solidified amaranthine at my stomach, and grab both of your hands, forcing your arms out and to the side while pulling you in close for a well placed headbutt, and upon letting go, I grab you by the throat, firing a shard of amaranthine through it*

But that chance was long gone. And I'm gonna take out any other competition along the way.

@souleaterfan320

*That me fizzles out and I dash from now-behind you and slices across your back in an X pattern, combining the purifying and corrupting power of the swords*
You're out of power and you won't be able to escape. This is it for you—you're finished.

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*dissapears seemingly, faint traces of amranthine still linger*

@souleaterfan320

*The dimension flashes with stability and I pull the Soul Edge back against your neck*
I'll admit, I thought the two of you were faking me out.
*Pierces your stomach with the Soul Caliber, unleashing cleansing energy from within you*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That would probably be helpful, yeah. Any ideas?

@Malevocholy

I'll have to make some calls. I don't have a lot of those left myself.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Any and all help will be appreciated, I just don't know a lot of people who can keep up, especially when someone with a NS power is fighting to kill.

@Malevocholy

Then we may need to build some bridges. And quickly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Sighs*
Yeah.

@Malevocholy

Do you have to use Codex resources to take them out, or can you rely on allies outside that bubble?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It's not really something you can just "get good" at.

@Malevocholy

That really is tricky, then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*I shake my head*
No, they don't work the way they did in our memories. It's based on our connection to the NS, and our inherent potential with them. It's infuriating, but I'm just slower at it. And we don't even know where the person who's faster than me stands in all this.

@Malevocholy

And I don’t imagine there’s anything else we can do to boost you above them?
