The Sunset was absolutely motionless, although there was a sort of a sickly sound pouring from its body. A kind of guttural, gurgling sound. Slickly pouring and versing out of its suit and purple tendrils, washing over Samuel's ears like the cries of something that had never felt pain before. The sound rose and fell wildly, whilst the entire time, the Balancer remained absolutely still. Still but for the sound and the shifting of those ever boiling coils.
The sound was like a being dying, but there was an odd tone to it, something higher pitched, something that sounded... Wrong, to the Karmist. Something that suggested the noise was being interpreted in the wrong manner. After a few moments of analysis, Samuel finally realized what was happening. The Balancer was not crying in pain, nor was it afraid. The noise was /laughter/.
Samuel was being /mocked/.
"The orbs are dead, foolish human. And I have no reason to serve you. In this universe, there are clearly many like yourself. Enjoy your momentary victory. Enjoy the thrill you must get from finding yourself not to be shredded into pieces. It must feel so triumphant, to stand there, on the same fleshy legs you always have, while a titan remains before you despite your efforts. Entertain your notions of grandeur longer! Please! Well done, human. You've lost your hopes of infinite power and found yourself helpless before a being that could crush you where you stand. I may die in a year, human, but consider the fact that you will not survive for that length at all a sign of the true victor."
The Sunset let out one more laugh, and decided to let the being live. He had bigger things to worry about, anyway. Suddenly, he picked up on a signal. The world was about to change. A massive energy signal ran through the entire world, and he was prepared to ride it. A cord snapped tight. The Sunset vibrated and channeled the piercingly white signal of the Observer into his armor. A white hot ball encased him for but a moment, before he dissipated. He didn't go to any universe in particular, of course. He merely found himself in a neutral zone, waiting for the Observer to take notice of his presence. He was within the wave that would take them all to their next location. And so, he took advantage of it, examining the pattern of it as best as he could. As far as he could tell, he wasn't even within the entire thing, only a room of it. The staggering size and number of dimensions at place in this null void was incredible. This Observer had powers that extended beyond what The Sunset thought possible, originally.
It concerned him. He sat down in the white void, waited to be slammed into the next world along with the signal, and thought about what to do with his energy counter. It was down one month already, from the jump. Least the wave helped.
