Should I leave Mobious and the universe?

"Perhaps another time… Until then, as for every one of you participating /and/ spectating, consider yourselves /quite/ lucky…"

"It seems there has been word of a tournament occurring somewhere distant… A tournament… of power…? Interesting…

Given how effortlessly I would demolish the competition, it's no surprise I wasn't informed of it."

@Recreant_Sniper — catch his breath, let alone strike back with ease.

/Especially/ not during the thick of battle.

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper — positioned so that they formed a circle around their target, each just as deadly as the next. Whether Infinite's attack connected or not, the replicas at his beck and call would personally see to it that Fang wasn't left with any time to —

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper — the aura surrounding him flashing ever brightly.

As soon as the gap between he and his foe was reduced to mere inches, Infinite snapped his fingers once more, summoning not one, but four more clones of himself, all of which were —

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper "If you /can/," he snapped. This was getting old quick, and on top of that, Infinite wasn't even bringing out his A-game. Slowly, he brought each arm around the other, forming an X over his torso, and on cue, the jackal boosted forward, —

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —existence just as quickly as he'd glitched into it.

"I wouldn't be so certain, now."

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper "Filled with holes, you say?"

At the sound of Fang's pistols being fired, Infinite, with a simple snap of his fingers, summoned a Ruby-powered replica of himself that hovered directly before him. The bullets collided head-on with the clone, who promptly glitched out of—

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —Infinite entertained.

"Come, now; let us see just what it is that prevents you from fleeing in terror, begging for your very life, mm?"

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —and exceed what little expectations I hold...?"

There was a small, subtle shift in tone as he spoke, and within the masked ruby-wielder now lay a desire to witness the extent of his foe's prowess, and if he held the capacity to keep—

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —until he spotted his foe at the corner of his eye. He did his best to feign a lack of shock, but there was no denying there being more to this one than what met the eye.

"I see you aren't as talentless as I assumed. Perhaps you'll humor me—

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper Lowering his hand from where his forehead, Infinite had turned his back to Fang after firing and would have flown off had the sniper not spoke up.

"...Hm...?" Infinite slowly turned his head, wanting to believe he was just hearing things,—

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —power than the likes of /you/."

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —speeds! Whether Fang took the blow or not, the impact would be great enough for a crater to form where he stood.

"Farewell, pest," he said through a chuckle, placing a couple of fingers on his forehead."/I/ have more important uses for my—

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —be over as quickly as it begun. Now, allow me to give you but a taste of what a true weapon can do, a memory you can take with you to your grave. HYA!"

Infinite thrust his palm forward, flinging the sphere in Fang's direction at breakneck—

[∞ ɪɴꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ∞ @rubypowered]

@Recreant_Sniper —palm, as if to wave, and a bright, blinding sphere of energy formed from within it, growing larger and larger until its size matched Infinite's hand.

"Either way, you won't be hearing any complaints from me, since this little skirmish will—
