"OK, let's go over the facts." Isaac and the others were hiding from the locals until their target arrived, so they took a breather to figure out what's going on. "First, when we were fighting those warriors on that dragon world, they disappeared when we defeated them. But that giant roadway from Nariko's world didn't when we destroyed it." Raiden walked forward. "Actually, it did. I saw it begin to disappear when we headed back. Maybe it was a delayed reaction because the others weren't done destroying their part when we were done." Then it was Nariko's turn to speak. "Then there was the monster from the last world. The wounds we did to it were real, but the edges looked like they were glowing with the same energy that brings us from place to place." Everyone was able to start making some connections. "So basically, this is all The Gamer's fault. He's doing this because he wants to, letting his power go to his head." Emmett was priming up his gun at his words, ready to blast things. "But he wasn't there during the original events, that was that head made out of prisms." Emmett gave Kat a nasty look, still not fully trusting of her. "The answer to that is simple, The Gamer sent the big head first to test us, so he would know how to properly destroy us." With Dante's theory, everyone then got really worried.
But their discussion would have to wait, as a giant, female-shaped battle mech came out of nowhere and started blasting missiles at the group. Taken off guard, they scattered and could only do random shots here and there. Isaac, Emmett, and Dante were the most effective, using their firepower to take out the missiles before they hit anything. Knack was able to help by throwing some of the already destroyed rubble at the Iron Maiden. But little to no damage was being done, and the Maiden just kept on the onslaught. Things were looking grim until they saw a quick flash of movement, followed by the Iron Maiden suddenly being split in two. Everyone turned to see Raiden sheathing his sword while the two halves crashed in some nearby buildings. "I'm done holding back to these 'rules'. If he doesn't want us to attack the surroundings, then that's what I'll hit the most."
Isaac and Nariko were about to give Raiden a piece of their minds, when Knack suddenly called everyone's attention to Kutaro, who was pointing toward one of the building. When they looked in that direction, they saw a most unusual sight. There was damage fading in and out of the sides, all covered with a very familiar glow. "Kutaro spotted it when we were dodging the missiles. It almost looks like it's damaged and not damaged at the same time. As if there are two building in the same place." Before any more theories could be made, the glow they begun to hate showed up yet again to pick them up.
"Man, the players are getting way too suspicious. They might not even play the game any further, and that is something I will not allow to happen. As for the building, it appears as the city was both in its world and overlapping at the same time, the residual damage energy must have leaked through too. Hopefully that will stabilize, wouldn't want all my hard work to go to nothing!" The Gamer gave a soft smile before getting serious again. "Since two teams have started questioning me already, I wonder if the others have too. Though it would be a miracle if Team 1 would actually think instead of destroying everything in their path..."
