Abby, on point as always with your arrival. No wonder Legend trusts you as much as he does. Thank you for your efforts. We're just waiting on the others, now. As long as we have at least a 4 man squad, we can start the mission and tag the others in when necessary. But this is it. The final push.

*runs my hand through my hair and looks up*

I can't believe it, tonights the night this nightmare finally ends.

@souleaterfan320

How long has it been for you? A while, right?

Shinji: *waits for your arrival*

@souleaterfan320

*Water vapor solidifies into vaguely human-shaped ice crystals around you, and then melt into my physical form*
Reporting for duty!

Abby, it's shinji. Its time. Meet at the disclosed location. Let's put an end to this once and for all.

*the voice message ends, and a location is sent to your phone*

@souleaterfan320

*Holds my arms out to my sides, phone gripped in one*
The things I do for goodwill, huh?
*Gathers into a blob of water and reforms standing up*

@Galaxy Raider @Legendbegins @Zeal

*your phones ping with a new message from Shinji*

@souleaterfan320

Aaaaaaaaaaaabby speaking, also known as Queen, and you have reached—a—protected line.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Raises my arm while standing my ground with my hand still grasped around the heart, fully encased as is, and brings it down on the top of your head with a loud, explosive wack when you are in range of me with enough of a shockwave that it dislodges the very foundation of the walls around us*

@Valiance

*Completely shatters in the same explosive manner as before, this time the shards flowing into the heart's shielding, hardening it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*The energy shatters through the fully-calcified armor plates, yet still crumble themselves with little effect against my bare skin and the sheer density of my muscles*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Breaks away from my current position and toward the orb with a boom, blasting the bone to pieces as I snatch the hard with a swipe straight through its container*

@Valiance

*Faster than any other piece of my body, the bone regenerates around the heart almost as fast as you remove it, and I, now fully-formed, charge at you, the entire land quaking with each step*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*When I slow down enough, I come to a halt myself, and I start to flex my muscles, causing physical strain on the fabric beneath my armor to become audible as it stretches tightly and tears at the material attempting to bind me with unreasonable brute force*

@Valiance

*The bones explode in order to reform my body piece-by-piece around the heart, using you as a springboard and unloading the requisite energy required to reach that speed into you directly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Flips around and strains against the manifested webbing, before turning and instead launching myself like a bullet directly at Faering*

@Valiance

*The fragments between the two of you also cling when you touch them, slowing you down further*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Drops the head and turns back toward the orb, and with a grunt and no hesitation, kicks off of the ground toward it in a blur*

@Valiance

*Thousands of fragments cling to you and pull back on you like netting, slowing your momentum*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

<Snipped quote by System>

*Guards my own self by turning my back and covering my head, letting the shrapnel hit the armor plating that covers my body*

@Valiance

<Snipped quote by System>

*Guards my face with my wrists, embedding the thorny shards in the scale plating of my arms*

@Artifact

*Whenever the shards make contact with a surface, they begin to calcify that structure, including the ground itself; the bone structure inches toward both of you while the other fragments remain suspended weightlessly*
