Unhinged

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Rhythmically chains gun blasts and teleportation to create a dazzling spectacle of beams throughout the combat area, targeting both of you and your escape routes*

@Nimda

*Stands up as the song comes to a close, steam fuming off my forehead as I stand from your previous blast*
I only have so much fear and respect to give.
*The lasers slow and stop before hitting any of us in the absence of music, allowing my brother to step aside*
No room for you on the shortlist.
*Explodes from where I stand and rockets toward a position just as you warp there, slamming my fist down like a thunderous hammer onto the side of your head as you pass, and releasing the frozen projectiles on the moment of impact*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Nice try, but not happening. You know, you should respect Lily.
*A moment after I pull the trigger, I materialize at your upper-left, falling smoothly upside down with my second gun in my off-hand*
But you should fear me.
*Fires both guns simultaneously, the first blasting you in the head and the other firing a short-distance teleportation spell in the opposite direction*

@Nimda

*Flies backwards, spinning rapidly before that motion is stopped by me hitting the ground face-first and sliding to a halt*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Clenches my teeth when I smell my own flesh*
It’s always burns. You know that’s a safety hazard!
*Slams a handful of beads against my gun, which phase into its magazine with a flash of light*

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Runs in a zig-zag pattern, sporadically boosted by the mid-air platforms with my wrists behind my back, now clearly bound together by glowing bands*

@Nimda

*The lights don’t follow you, avoiding catching the crowd in the crossfire*
Safety isn’t a concern for every person here. You’ve figured that out though, or at least the little fairy who does your thinking for you has.
*Widens my stance slightly*
Unless we get who we want, of course. In case you’ve forgotten why we’re here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Absolutely not.

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Kicks off with one foot and slams my head into your chest with strength exceeding our first altercation, then swings around and slams both feet against the same spot, dashing away from you but keeping both arms behind my back*

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

There's nothing futuristic about lights!

@Nimda

*Skids across the metallic floor until I come to a screeching halt, straightening my tie*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Of course they have lights...
*Slams my foot into the metallic floor, cracking it deeply at the point of impact and hurling sharp shards directly into you*

@Nimda

*Throws my hands into the air melodramatically, showing off to the crowd as my helmet gleans in the intense lighting and the shard plink harmlessly off to all sides after they hit*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Lunges from the shadows and rakes a knife across your ribcage*

@Nimda

Lights!
*It gashes the shirt clean open, revealing that it scraped across a metallic body armor underneath. I grab your arm as you pass, slamming you down into the ground beneath me and firmly locking your arm behind you as the stage's lights focus down on us from all sides and wipe out all shadows around us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*You find the cube completely hollow, and my hand extends up from your own shadow, pulling you into the ground by the ankle*

@Nimda

*Looks down before slamming into the metal ground on my back with a loud thud, then kicking your off my leg*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Walls of rock spring up on four sides and tank the blasts, obscuring me from sight*

@Nimda

*Rockets around them at a 90 degree angle, and suddenly propels myself straight downward, shattering through them with force enough to turn them to pebbles*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*A way into the ascent, I tap off a small platform of light that spawns momentarily beneath my upward-facing feet, and boost downward using more temporary platforms as if running down the air, charging my pistols*

@Nimda

*Twirls my arm around rapidly and snaps into a point directly at you, resulting in focused, amplified sound from the speakers across the stadium directly on your position as rhythmic concussive blasts*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Hits my knees as you approach, firing shots into your torso on triplet beats*

@Nimda

*While still grappling your torso, flips my legs back up over your head away from the shots, whipping over you and yanking you from under me as I launch you into the air like a human catapult*
