*Takes the hit with a bellow, my body fracturing into thousands of individual pieces due to the force of the impact. Despite this, you hear an all too familiar voice ring out in your head mere seconds later*

Oh dear, it looks like the insect made a mistake!

*Chuckles*

Then again, how could you have fathomed my true plan? I never mentioned needing to land on a planet wholesale, after all...

*It is now that you see it. The height at which my body was fragmented and splintered was not enough to ensure the leftovers would burn because of the insane amounts of friction, and now they are - several thousand of them - continuing their journey to the surface below. The very same place from which you can see hundreds of thermonuclear warheads rapidly approaching*

You were a brief amusement worm, and because of that I'll make their deaths painless and quick. They shall fall believing they are becoming one with their god, because in an ironic sort of way, they are.

*A cruel and mocking laughter fills your head as the warheads draw close and closer still! And then...*

Checkmate. Goodbye, worm.

@Caldizar

Come on!
*The boot structures activate an embedded set of lasers, which propel me toward the planet at breakneck speeds*

*Rumbles and roars, not in anger you quickly realize, but laughter, surprise, and just the tinniest hint of true frustration*

I swear I will never understand why you insects simply can't accept your place in the grand scheme of things!

*The batteries below steadily increase their fire, and if you turn your head a certain way, you can see the telltale glow of missile launches blooming across the planet's surface*

I will survive the onslaught worm, but tell me...

*My tendrils extend to grasp your hand, attempting to shred and tear it apart*

CAN YOU?!

@Caldizar

Believe it or not—
*You shred the hand without any difficulty*
That's what I'm best at!
*Large mechanical boots form over my feet and I let the artillery shred my back, but my flesh seems to form out of the colorful flickers at a faster rate the more I take damage, which propels me into you with a forceful kick*

*A hundred tons worth of weight crashes against you, our descent slowing greatly, but not halting*

How annoying...

*Sends out a mental command to the world below, laser batteries and anti-air installations beginning to open fire directly on you*

@Caldizar

Great...
*Keeps my back to the people and slams my fist into you, bursting into sparks with each hit, while the weapons making contact with me cause a similar reaction, my flesh healing as fast as they strike*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Begins to enter the atmosphere*

Talk is cheap! Especially with ants!

@Caldizar

*Bursts forward in a flash of colorful sparks and catches you mid-air, punching you with a large mechanical gauntlet that shapes over my hand*
Seems like it!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*My eye widens and you almost, almost, think you're getting through before it rolls in its socket. A clear gesture of disregard towards your words*

Oh no! Anyway...

*The eye vanishes as we draw nearer to the planet's atmosphere*

Dinner nears.

@Caldizar

You're not making this any easier! Are you sure we can't talk this out?

Myriad Reality

@Caldizar

True true.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

But you see...

*An eye the size of a small moon appears within my mass to regard you coldly as the planet nears*

...that would require me to care about such inconsequential matters. I do not.

@Caldizar

It's consequential to them!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Bubbles, a few maws lining my form snapping aimlessly*

The fact that my kind do not care about such quandaries like yours do, apparently.

@Caldizar

You could always try it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Alters my course slightly to slither around an asteroid*

You really should. At least then sentimentality could be used as an excuse. As it stands now, however, what harm does their inevitable demise do to anyone?

@Caldizar

You... mean... other than the harm it does to them? Am I missing something?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Ripples as we casually drift past a star*

Well first of all, could you stop being such a bother? And secondly, why? Are they acquaintances of yours?

@Caldizar

No, I don't know them. But I shouldn't have to!
