<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*You both slide into a pale boxy bunker with an invisible wall separating each half—you each hit my hand on the way down, healing you from any residual injuries, and Machina sits cross-legged in the center of one half*

@Nimda

*Scrambles clumsily yet quickly to my feet and backs up*
W-w-w- What? Where are we? Don't touch us!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*Holds up my left arm as a white barrier extends from my wrist*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Flicks the spacetime-coated sword in my right hand*
Machina. Your service is appreciated.
*Your body slides past itself, split in half diagonally from the shoulder, only to be immediately consumed by two black orbs*

@Memory

*My jaw drops as I cup both hands over my mouth, coming to a stop*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*A me splits off to help you up*
Are you okay??

@Webmaster

*Shakes my head in a daze as I scramble to my feet with your help*
I'm fine, I'm fine.
*Gets a running start and freezes air above the ground beneath my feet, allowing me to skate frictionlesly across it after Machina much faster than just running*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*An unseen force pushes you both off of me and I run forward*

@Etcetera

*Yelps, flies backward several feet and tumbles due to my much lighter weight*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

No! Third won't let me get hurt!

@Etcetera

It's-
*The relatively frail barrier shatters to bits from the residual force of the last attacks and are blown at us, as I shield my eyes*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I have to go out there! Third will listen to me, and I can help!

@Etcetera

Help what? You see the kinds of stuff they're doing. Even just being close to that can kill you!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Stop!
*Starts trying to climb the barrier*

@Etcetera

*Reaches out to grab you by the arm*
Please don't get yourself hurt!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Hits the ground, and scrambles to get up before running toward the battlefield*
I'm going to help!

@Etcetera

*The air turns to solid ice in your path, not so close that you run face-first into it, but wide enough that getting trying to go around it gives us time to catch up*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Splits into several duplicates, all of which run through each unique portal*

@Webmaster

*Yells for Machina*
Hey! What are you doing?!
