???: *immediately teleports out of your grip, unharmed; the clip holding his cape together falls off and he clutches it together with his gloved hands* No, no, no. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. He said you wouldn't get here until the next one. Why are you here?

Here's a pic David found to illustrate it.

*the force continues to pull, and the connections are beginning to strain*
-Ruby- Rythian, you have to fight too!
-Soren- *we teleport to a large, mostly empty room with tall pillars holding up the ceiling, a shiny, gold-like floor, and what looks almost like a throne; sitting on a large chair almost like a throne is a tall, comically thin, pale man with a neat suit, blazer, bowtie, dress pants, gloves, and tall thin top hat; all are black except for the gloves, which are white*
*when he sees you, his eyes widen and he immediately stands up, a cape billowing out behind him a bit* You! How did you get here?! *he has a rich British accent*
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
-Ruby- I can sense... The thing is grabbing hold of all the connections between... Emotions? Morality? Relationships? *your eyes unfocus and a powerful sense of unease sets in* It's pulling at them! Trying to break them!
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
-Maddie- *whirls around and looks at the readings* Those are in the locational data!
*Soren and I turn around and look at the pattern, our eyes glowing brightly*
-Soren- Yes! Maddie, Sven, follow me. We're going to find this guy.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
-Maddie- Okay, um, um... Soul... Mind... Projections... We can still stop this! Can anyone try and figure out what's happening in his soul right now?
-Ruby- I think I can! *closes eyes and attempts to search out what's happening inside your soul*
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
-Maddie- *points to the readings, where the readings on you are starting to fluctuate faster and faster* It wasn't like that before!
*suddenly, you begin to feel very dizzy, light-headed, and confused*
-Maddie- Ohhhh no. It's happening again! Quick, what are you feeling?
*you feel like there is something projecting itself into you, invading your mind and soul*
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
-Ruby- Oh. Right.
-Maddie- Hey, Rythian?
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
-Maddie- We can't find one. It seemed like there was something... projecting, maybe, but if there's really a source, there wasn't the data to find it. We've modified our devices for data collecting to try and account for it, but we're not sure if it'll work.

Elaborate, if you will.
<Snipped quote by Balance>
It is essentially causing these beings to behave as machines; they hold no regard for morality, but perform the actions they believe will benefit them, and rather poorly, I might add. It separates their original selves from what exists externally, allowing for corruption to control them rather than themselves, similar to a mental disease.
