*Turns around and looks at the sky*
Buster Style.
*Pulls my blade from its sheath partially and practically disappears, zipping away and disappearing into the ball of energy. Moments later the enrgy from the ball shoots out its backside in the form of large plasma beams, in the direction of the way it was fired from, until it is completely gone*

@Crew

*Shields myself from the plasma beams, but all those around me are eviscerated, as well as the few ships lined up behind us*
What in the...?!

Myriad Reality

Time to finish these guys off and move on. Much more impressive empires to deal with.
*Seemingly easily forms another ball of energy and hurtles it toward the planet*

*Manages to deflect them all for a bit, some of them at you and each of your friends, but cannot keep up with the onslaught, as a sudden barrage of them all visibly impale me in various places while also sending me rocketing into the ground on Phiaxes below. Nothing else happens*

@Armed Forces

*The deflections manage to destroy a few of our ships and actually strikes one of us in the had, seemingly strongly enough to kill him, and strikes another in the chest, injuring them*
Hmph. We can only hope for no more nuisances like him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

You bet I do.

@Armed Forces

*Other ships seem to bombarding me with a variety of weaponry, but none of it seems to do much*
Very well.
*Unleashes a volley of finger-sized blasts at you that, despite their size, radiate energy with incredible intensity*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Raises my sword, as though to prepare to charge you, but stops and looks at the six others around you and stops what I'm doing, simply deciding to remain in place*

@Armed Forces

You intend to die before submitting to the master of all?

Myriad Reality

@Inimical

...
*Eruptions start to sound off from within the ball, and before about a quarter of the planet is absorbed, the ball erupts outwardly into billions of much smaller fragments of energy harmlessly, much like a firework. I remain floating there, despite now clearly being burned to various degrees all over my body with my clothes mangled and out of breath*

@Armed Forces

*Looks annoyed*

Myriad Reality

@Inimical

*Is completely overcome by the force and disappears into the ball*

@Armed Forces

*Watches as the energy begins to slowly encompass the planet*

Myriad Reality

@Inimical

*Floats between the planet and your sphere, and points my sword at the energy, willing it to slow down, but visibly putting a lot of effort into making this happen*

@Techspert

*From the television, it appears as though a massive ball of energy formed in space and suddenly moved to absorb the planet, but met unseen opposition*

@Armed Forces

*As the ball comes to a stop, I float up higher so that we can see each other*
I hadn't expected an army to hold some beings of actual power amongst its ranks... But one thing you will learn, naive one, is that Nemid doesn't harbor the weak.
*Half a dozen more beings all emerge from different ships and apply force downward on the ball with me*

Myriad Reality

*Rises up from my ship suddenly and floats there, then raises my staff up into the air as a ball of energy quickly grows to planet size*
If you will not budge, we will simply knock you over.
*Brings my staff down and points it at the planet, and the ball of energy suddently starts to move toward it, as though to envelop it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Overloads the sphere*
Hashtag one way or something like that.

@Techspert

*Closes my eyes*
I may need to divert from the gameplan, here. I hope that's okay. We weren't supposed to be dealing with more great powers than those the IA threw at us.
