He was fully prepared to accept the consequences of his actions before you decided to meddle in this.

@Artifact

Your insistence on those things being his actions just show how little you know of the demon that is Maelstrom. Take it from me, I know both Ridge and Maelstrom far better than the friend you’re following.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

You're the only one intervening here. Nobody asked you to come.

@Artifact

No one needs to ask me to protect those I care about. Nobody asked Roland to hold a grudge after years of not knowing how things changes. This is all unfortunate circumstance, and I am asking both of you to walk away.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

… I won’t be giving up, that’s certain.

@Valiance

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

That's not very well up to me.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

So what's the immediate decision? I'm going to support whatever you decide to do.

@Artifact

No no. You will be giving up. I know you’re a good person outside these circumstances, so I trust that you do see something in the genocidal one here. I want to trust her guidance to you, so I’d hate to have to pursue justice of my own.
*Squats down next to both of you*
Understand what I’m saying?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What are you going to do next?

@Artifact

I recommend going home. Forget about Ridge until you’re ready to move on.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I’m fine. The blows we traded, he regenerates, I can’t. But… You went out of your way to not kill me.

@Valiance

Of course I did.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*Golden light encapsulates me and immediately goes to work on my injuries*
What are you?

@Artifact

I’m thankful that I’m enough.
*Drops you*
Ridge was given a second chance and has made the more of it than anyone could ask. You will not hunt him or his brother down any more.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*Curls forward around your legs and holds on tightly, infusing my aura into your body every moment*

@Artifact

*Grabs your arms and rips them off me, holding them in place while I headbut you so hard that spacetime implodes at the point of impact*
Slow yourself and look. We’re done here, already.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*While getting knocked back, blasts a golden ray into your internals, while cushioning Roland with golden light with at the expense of my own landing*

@Artifact

*Just before your recovery point, I knock you down further by plummeting feet-first into your abdomen*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Collides your slash with my open palm, which resists being pierced*

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I don't have time for this.
*Lifts my hand, summoning a trunk of holy light that highlights the CAD-VI with a golden aura—a volley of crimson red spears pursue the aura and home in on its location*

@Artifact

*A massive beam of energy severs the planet in, half resulting in a seemingly unending chain of huge, blinding explosions in unstable regions all across its surface*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Claps my hands together, clashing the light with the beams until they chase each other in a tornado of destruction that tears across the planet and demolishes anything it touches*

@Artifact

*Across the planet's landscape, loud booms can be heard as Roland and I clash, breaking the entirety of the ground into finer and finer rubble with each blow and causing the vortexes to kick up and scatter the rubble at insane velocities all over the place*
