<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Rolls through the opening immediately afterward and faces the guardian through the crack*

@Valiance

*Rebuilds myself gradually and returns to my post, protecting the undamaged gate*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Soars past you overhead, then stops running, falling toward the gate and slamming into it with a massive dropkick*

@Valiance

*The gate creaks under its weakened structural integrity*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*The size and shape of the shards contort as my hands reveal themselves from within, gripping space itself and stretching it to make room for myself*

@Valiance

*Returns the pieces as quickly as possible to my damaged core and flings them one by one into the damaged regions of the gate, creating a mosaic of patchwork repairs*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Drops my arm and the pressure is relieved, but my momentum through the air remains*

@Valiance

*The shards that make up my body swarm and encapsulate you in a sphere, leaving no room for escape*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Rears back and throws my fist forward, toward it. The beam curves around the trajectory of my blow, then continues on its prior course, albeit shifted slightly, and rockets past me while a huge buildup of pressure slams into you, through you, and into the gate directly behind you*

@Valiance

*After a few moments of sustained pressure, the beam melts a red-hot circle through the unbroken half of the gate*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Just before the impact, it is caught by blue voxels, wedged in place just beyond the surface of my armor*
I’m losing patience for this already. Want it back? Take it.
*Reaches behind me and grabs it. Then, in one swift motion, I hurl it forward as though throwing a dagger, sending a huge krakoom sound rippling across the plains from the speed and force*

@Valiance

*It hits one of the many pieces in my wings, cracking it—the remaining slabs rearrange themselves into a disk around my core, which trains a red beam directly onto you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Crosses my arms in front of me and parries the projectile away, sending it flipping through the air overhead*

@Valiance

*It returns as if controlled by strings, flying into your back, toward the amalgam*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Takes a huge leap up into the air, continuing to dash upward while it appears I am running on the air*

@Valiance

*One of the many fragments of my wings fly out at you like a blunted sword*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Shoves my hand into the ground as I run, gripping the earth and tearing up a huge chunk of it in an unnatural shape, only disturbing the ground between me and you and removing your footing*

@Valiance

*Adjusts my position to stand directly in front of the damaged section of the gate, which towers over the field, while the other half continues to close*
