Amethyst hit the ground, and rolled towards the crystal. As she began to get up, Nathan lunged at her again, his knife emitting a bright light- to the point that it resembled a glowing broadsword. Amethyst's own crystals slammed into her, barely pushing her out of the way. The light from the knife sliced cleanly through the crystal, causing the top half of it to fall off- as thought it had been made of cardboard.
"Load Preset: SPARK!" Amethsyt yelled, firing a pillar of flames from her right hand. Nathan jumped to the left, as the flames collided with the lower half of the crystal, turning it black. As this happened, the grass around the crystal began to slowly wither, as its source of life was gradually destroyed.
Eximo's sensors interpreted this as filth, thought the machine itself was still immobile. This created a source of irritation, as gradually more bolts of the Demon's light and Amethyst's magic collided with the crystal, slowly killing the flora, and creating alot of dead things to clean up! Eximo's spirit was uncertain of what action to take. It wanted to cleanse, but it had so little influence on the physical world.
It decided, at the least, it could try and clear up some of these ashes. It stepped forward, and began to carefully push the singed remains of the crystal into a single pile. To an outsider, it would have appeared to be a random wind, but it was slowly making progress. As it did this, it began to uncover another pop-up book, this one also labeled "MASTER OF THE WORLD"
By sheer chance, the wind blew against the book, and caused it to open. It passed first through a page filled with drawings of cubes, a couple of which 'popped up' as the page was opened.
The page turned again to something far creepier. This new page was all black- but it hadn't been printed that way. More as though it had been covered in black chalk, defaced by someone. More noticable than that however, was a large occult-looking symbol, written in blood in the center of the page.
The blood began to spread, forming long veins, and eventually streams throughout the field. Gradually, the rest of the world blackened, and tore apart. Countless islands floated around the void, each holding such strange scenery as one of the trees from before, or a chunk of desert, one island even seemed to hold an illogical staircase. The group stood around a single island which houed the remains of the crystal, Amethyst and the Demon Lord ceased their fighting to look around at their new surroundings.
