[QUOTE="talien, post: 4666177, member: 3285"] [b]Prince: Part 14b – Valiant’s Last Stand[/b] Before Valiant could say anything else, Jim-Bean fired the entire clip of his SIG at him. The bullets hovered in front of Valiant’s head and chest. Jim-Bean thought to himself: wow, I’m a pretty good shot. Then he was hurled with telekinetic force across the room, scattering chairs and congregants everywhere. “You’re going to have to do better than that,” snarled Valiant, hovering higher. Jim-Bean concentrated, using his Realizer to help him focus in the confusion. He could feel energy pulsing out of him, towards the Spiritual Reservoir, just as it had with the damaged Realizer at Washington University. The Spiritual Reservoir crystal was the key. He reloaded his SIG as he dodged and weaved, ducking behind the screaming congregants. Valiant, clearly unconcerned about the safety of the others now that he had the power he needed, began hurling chairs at Jim-Bean through thought alone. One person’s head burst as a chair smashed into it sideways, spraying a gout of blood over Jim-Bean’s back. He fired, still running towards the crystal. The bullets ricocheted off. Whatever was protecting Valiant was protecting the crystal as well. He made it to the crystal. Jim-Bean grabbed it with the intent of running off, but with his own crystal pulsing and the Spiritual Reservoir at his fingertips … The power! Energy surged through him, and now two pulsing strands of psychic energy connected to both Jim-Bean and Valiant. Valiant screamed in rage. “No!” He pointed at the stage beneath Jim-Bean and a jagged piece of it ripped up, whistling towards him. It stopped in mid-air and dropped to the ground, just like Jim-Bean’s bullets. He had Valiant’s powers now, or more properly, he had the Spiritual Reservoir’s powers. And in that moment it was clear where the energy was coming from. He could see the psychic strands of energy pulsing from the cultists in the room, but only from some of them, the ones who were on the floor. Their crystals were different from his, smaller, imperfect somehow. Jim-Bean guessed that’s what was happening, that Valiant had handed out damaged crystals to power his own. Jim-Bean knew what he had to do. He grabbed hold of the Spiritual Reservoir and floated up to the ceiling, eye to eye with Valiant. Valiant extended his hand, but the telekinetic force was blocked by the barrier. Jim-Bean shook his head. “You may have the power, but you don’t know how to use it!” snarled Valiant. “I don’t want it,” said Jim-Bean. “And I know how to stop it.” Focusing his newfound telekinetic energy on the ceiling, he brought the entire building down around them.
