Record: Understood. This might be momentarily disturbing, so I apologize.
*As I speak a new head and neck sprout from the base of my original neck, then another, and another. By the time I'm finished, there are several heads searching about the room, all connected back to me by unnatural, winding necks. Soon enough I find the chip and grab it, retracting the individual branches until I'm back to normal except for the extra arm holding the chip.*
What next?

@Stabby

Pure Kat: Whatever you’re doing, I can’t see it. For better or worse, I only have my imagination... Anyway, just insert it into the computer uh... I don’t know how to direct you. One of the terminals in the wall should be near a slot for that, and it’ll give me control of what parts of my facility are still mine. I’ll get myself all fixed up then and we can get this sorted out from there.

Record: No promises, but know that we won't stoop low unless we're pushed to survival. The "we" of that statement is our secret, just as this "location" is yours.
*Closing my eyes, we fall back into dimensional space and soon exit it to arrive at the location.*
Mierno was still fighting last I saw him by the way.

@Stabby

Pure Kat: I don’t really guess I have any bargaining chips in my current predicament anyway... Glad he’s okay though.
*We emerge in a very platinum-heavy technological facility, in an open room with a few machines built into the infrastructure*
Are we there y- Ohh, nevermind. I feel it. We’re here. Among the
*My voice quivers like I am shuddering*
“Parts” you have here, find the red chip with “CO” on it. I need you to put it somewhere. Usually I don’t need to do this but I don’t have the means to use it myself right now.

Record End: ... Crap. *Taking stock of the situation, I cancel the silver flames and absorb the rest of the flesh cube back into my body before taking a look at my form. Though thin lines of amaranthine run underneath my skin, its pace of encroachment doesn't look to be visible.* Yet another risk, but it needs to be taken.
*Tapping into the borrowed power of the encroaching amaranthine, I shift myself over to Shinji.*
Situation's changed, I can get us out of here, but consider me contaminated once we part ways. @souleaterfan320

Record: Call me Record, and state the closet coordinates to the location then. It sounds like time is critical.

@Stabby

Pure Kat: *Shares the location with you*
I'm trusting you with this because I have no choice. Please don't turn and around and use that against me. No one is supposed to know about this.

Record End: Quaint. Let's finish what was started then. My true self will be glad we won't remember this next part.
*Another me exits from the wall, drags themself into non-dimensional space, and finds their way to the previous other me to merge with them. Meanwhile, Silver flames of isolation start radiating from my walls, both inside and out, eroding everything it comes into contact with.*

Record: *Blinks after the merge is over and quickly bends down to pick your parts back up.*
Can you maintain your own consciousness right now? We need to cut the connection with your corrupted self, and I only know of one place where that's possible. I'll fill you in on the rest once this is sorted.

@Stabby

*Looks toward the fight with King*
Let's make sure everything finishes up smoothly.
*Disappears*

Pure Kat: Wait wait wait! You've gotta listen to me. The way we're connected is an ingrained part of who I am. It's a place, and we have to get there and stop it at the source. I don't know who you are but I have no choice but to trust you, do I? I can't feel anything, onoly hear and speak. Is anyone else around?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Record End: Interesting. I take it you're somehow still connected to your uncontaminated parts?

Record: I had to sever these parts of you from the corrupted section. Having left a Self-End behind, I am unsure of what the continued situation is with your corrupted parts.

@Stabby

You could say that. They tried to sever me from the rest of her to prevent the full conversion, but they must not realize that we're still connected. Shouldn't be long before it's taken care of.
*Replacement parts appear around me, which slowly start self-assembling onto my body*

Pure Kat: Not only am I in pieces, but I'm losing control of everything! Did Mierno lose? Is everyone okay?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Record End: *Looks at you with a raised eyebrow.* So, I take it you're the end process of their attempt?

Record: *Almost instantly after arriving in non-dimensional space, I drag myself and the recovered parts of Kat's body back into the nearest existence entangled dimension and take a breath.*

@Stabby

*Stares at the wall opposite me, still seemingly processing the conversion. I don't respond to the attempt at converse*

Pure Kat: *The bits of me remaining begin to spur to life slowly*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Record: *Upon realizing that Kat is an android and the situation, I sigh and raise both of my arm above my head as another pair of arms erupt from my back. Within seconds, the new pair turn into branches of flesh and bone that quickly grow to cover the interior of the cube before the external structure destabilizes. At the same time, my raised arms turn into sharp scythe-like blades that I soon bring down upon Kat's body to sever the infected portion from the rest in one clean blow.
After picking it up and walking backwards another me emerges from the wall, picks up the uncontaminated sections, and drags them and itself into non-dimensional space after quickly cutting it's connection with the flesh enclosure. The me that's left behind smirks with a tired and pained look in its eyes.*

@Stabby

*Sits up, blinks, and looks around*

*the force repels off my body back at you, as if it were redirected by an unknown force*
King: that's not gonna work.

*lashes out at you with a vicious kick, sending you into the amaranthine barrier, that begins attempting to corrupt you*

*turns to Mierno, but notices Kat's body*

hmm..

*underneath her, a portal of amaranthine engulfs her, and in the new amranthine world she finds herself in, a crystal floats by her. almost as if detecting her body, it flings itself into her, beginning the process of corruption*

shinji: NO! DAMNIT! *watching the battle from the base, I slam my fist into the wall, cracking a wooden beam*

.... fuck...

*the bubble cracks, and a piece chips out*

Cain: King... We have failed you...

Mierno: ....about time.

*the bubble distorts under some unseen pressure, and and gives way, allowing the dimension to crack under the weight of a ton of bright energy*

Mierno: ...heh.

*cockily grins, looking at Cain and Abel*

You guys are screwed.

*the light arough the planet distorts, and my energy bursts outward in a violent storm, and I am left stadning in the middle. The dimension warps and distorts around me with each energy fluctuation*

....its time to end this, boys.
