[u]Balthazar stands up from the dust, shoving off rubble. Chunks of his armor are missing, revealing his main body completely intact. However, the hole in his chest is cleanly sheared through him, revealing a mess of loose gears. He looks down, noticeably calmer. He looks towards the rail cannon encampment.[/u] Well, I figured activating my second core would have consequences, though bot as bad as this. I didn't want to resort to using this, but in times of dire need where my life is in danger, I must make allowances. [u]Balthazar starts to charge energy, emitting a red light from the hole and the joints of his body. His bulky armor starts to melt, channeling into the hole, repairing it. As it repairs, three fissures appear in his body, causing it too split into three pieces. You see three cores go along with the sections, forming three slender, smaller versions of Balthazar. The blue pacifist core wields a long thin rapier along with a shield emitting blue energy. The red berserker core wields a massive great sword, it's blade shrouded in a bright, red glow. The fourth disappears into the shadows, completely gone and un-detectable.[/u] [i]The pacifist core begins to speak[/i] I don't use this method as it is extremely hap-hazard to my body. Chromium is a rare substance that takes a very long time to get, plus splitting up my cores gives them free control over themselves. No telling what they might do, but they hopefully will help me. The last time I did this, I had to engage them both in a duel to the death to force them to re-fuse together. Lets hope that they son't go rogue, for both our sakes. Either way.... [i]YOU WILL PAY FOR DESTROYING THIS MUCH OF MY BODY[/i] [u]The pacifist core and berserker core split up, dashing towards the encampments, to fast to be seen by the naked eye. They start to tear through the lines of rail guns, dicing them into large chunks. As they work through the lines, the third, unnamed black core is nowhere to be found.[/u]
