Hey, whats a battle between opponents if one of them has immortality? A bit of a cheat if you ask me....

*in the suit, I glare at DD*

....no... for me? This is personal. I want to beat him how ive always been. If anything... this suit might be a handicap for me. Better for him, i suppose. We'l see. Hows the energy output on these? I dont wanna overload this thing's circuits.

@souleaterfan320

PaMDA: These versions are configured to support passthrough energy mode. However, be warned that your adversary can convert energy to other forms.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

.... you two take it... I'll be fine.

@souleaterfan320

I... thank you, Mierno.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Of course, of course. Put your faith in me, you both'll pull through this. That's my guarantee.

*two of the suits appear in front of me, and I split in two, each of me dissapating into the suits, filling them each with my energy*

@souleaterfan320

*Takes a deep breath*
I really hope you're ready.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Right.
*Says nothing for a few moments*
Makes sense…

@Audacious

PaMDA: Suggestion: Select your weakest fighters if you aim to minimize casualties. Select your strongest fighters if you aim to maximize the likelihood of victory.
*The orange shield that previously surrounded the planet now materializes under everyone's feet*

*Speaks without shouting, but somehow audible*

Don't worry about me. If you can become immortal for a bit, that makes my job easier.

@Malevocholy

And Mierno probably doesn't need it...
*Raps my fingers together*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Looks around to see who remains, eyebrows raised in confusion*

@Audacious

PaMDA: This solution only supports two individuals. It was derived by calculating the optimal application to ensure victory while minimizing casualties, weighted toward the latter objective.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Floats in places, watching expressionlessly*

@Audacious

PaMDA: You must select two of your own for temporary immortality. Please choose wisely.
-Buwhat?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’m as sure as you.

@Audacious

Just—do it before I change my mind.
PaMDA: Confirmed. Goodbye Sunshine underway.
*Three pulses of time distortion of the same essence as Dynamo's study radiate from PaMDA; once the third passes, the planetary sphere is gone as is the planet itself, turned to a seemingly endless gray plane, and all of the stars in the sky blink out one by one*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Takes off after you, following behind*

@Audacious

*Stops, hovering in front of the sphere*
Panda, I'm ready. Run Goodbye Sunshine.
PaMDA: This action cannot be undone. Are you certain?
*Glances over at Violet*

I won't break 'em too badly. You can bill Shinji for the repairs, I'm sure he wouldnt mind chipping in.

*looks over to you*

After this though, We really ought'a help him. He's trying to take on the whole Amaranthine army with a small squad of helpers. It isnt looking great.

@souleaterfan320

Yeah, um... let me just think about this for now, okay? I can't put something else like that on my mind.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We’re not allowed to know how it goes. We might.

@Audacious

Right. Okay, I'll do it.
*Rockets straight upward toward the hologram*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

No one else can start the protocol. I’m not sure what it does, but unless we’re leading with it…

@Audacious

But once it's going, surely you don't need me still?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We’re going to need you to make it over everyone else for that reason. You understand? We’re all going to be making sacrifices, no doubt. But we need you to be okay until the end.

@Audacious

I don't think I understand. Why me?
