<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Grabs you by the head, and we immediately appear at the outermost boundary of the region; I trace the edge at high speeds, grinding your face against the barrier*

@Legend

Tcl-
*The Brinkspace void expands from my person, many more bodies forming around us and barraging you with blows which push you into the barrier against the original me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

The original. Take care to return it.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Is this—

@Source

*Sounds rushed*
Hurry and surrender. I don't want to force this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*A duplicate of myself appears near Fourth, with the bundled cloak, while I warp directly in front of you and emit a repulsive force that throws you into the dimensional barrier*

@Legend

*Rests against it while staring at the entity for a moment*
Right...
*Clenches my fist*
An ultimatum, right on queue.
*Looks back to you, my resignation fading fast*
Quickly now. For both our sakes'.
*The real crystal grows in potency as well and begins practically vacuuming up every bit of reality around it, as I rush, almost hurriedly to the you with Fourth, getting between you and launching an impaling segment from my body into him*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

As you wish. Override code: Counterfeit Hurricane.
*Casts off my cloak, resulting in a pressure exerted in the surrounding area*

@Legend

*Looks past you, beyond the dome*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Several crystals dance around me, all emitting a similar effect*
Is that so?

@Legend

Don't make me... Just let me end it.
*A foreboding presence projects itself across the cosmos*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*As soon as it reaches you, the forged crystal detonates with world-shattering explosive power*

@Legend

*Shields my face from it so I can keep sight of you*
I never had to hurt anyone anywhere else...
*The absorbing effect of the crystal continues to increase*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Tosses the crystal high into the air and throws two daggers into it*

@Legend

I want to go!
*Ensnares the crystal in a whiplike strand of Brinkspace and pulls it toward me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Throws two daggers into your body*

@Legend

*They stab into and through me without resistance*
I can’t do it anymore. They’re just going to keep coming, and I’ll just have to keep hurting. Why here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Picks up the crystal as well*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

It is considered a sign of respect toward powerful opponents to vocally recognize their strength. Accordingly, I am bound by honor to inform you that this will end quickly.

@Legend

*It exerts the exact same effect on you and the space you occupy. I stare blankly off to an arbitrary point in the distance*
I want it to end.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Does everything I can to hold onto the crystal*

@Source

*The tighter you hold it, the more it subjects you to its absorption. The more you loosen your grip, the stronger its pull toward me becomes*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*From an indiscernible location, cuts diagonally across your body with daggers, cutting you into thirds*

@Legend

*Looks down at the cuts*
Not another...
