"You don't want to do this, at least not now," I said while staring directly into his eyes.
"There has never been a better time dear Grim."
I sighed and split the boulder apart with the Zoom, Zoom gun, I then took a step and could not another because the ground formed around my other foot halting my movement. This time I released my energy into the air around me and broke the constraint, I was hoping to at least push them back but they held on. There was nothing I could do about that because any more would affect the ship.
So I gave up resistance and faced him once more, this time with a bit of embarrassment. I just failed to make a rude exit, on second thought I cannot let this man live any longer. I pulled out the composite Zoom, Zoom gun.
"Whatever it is you want to talk about better be worth the trouble."
"Don't look down on us boy, we have been around longer than you can imagine. Kids these days just get high numbers on their heads and think that they are all that. I am here to tell you that you aren't and keep you in line before you stray off."
"And how do you plan on doing that?"
"By making sure that you know how to at least honour your seniors."
"No need for riddles old man, you want to rob us don't you?"
"What an obscene way of putting it, we aren't here to rob you because you will be giving us gifts voluntarily." He grinned and the rocks fell from his face gathering at the tip of his fingers creating a huge paw with sharp claws out of his hand.
"YOU ARE PLANNING TO ROB US! I should have known earlier and knocked you out." Arnold said as he clenched his fists and prepared to launch himself forward.
Crawford's crewmates also prepared to jump into the bout, they all released their energies and caused a huge surge of winds to rise from the ground and fill the atmosphere with dust.
I grabbed Arnold's shoulder before he jumped off, he almost phased through me so I just vibrated fast enough to catch his body and hold him down. He looked at me quickly and with a face full of confusion.
"You are here to join Final Stand right? Do you think mowing down theirs and your potential allies would paint you as a trustworthy person to have on the team?" I asked him as calmly as I could talk.
"No, but I believe they would like a person who does not stand to be bullied by entitled old freaks."
We looked at each other for a little while and I let him go. I could not kill anyone here as their companions' thirst for revenge would rightfully be aimed at me, and that's a loose end that the system does not want.
Arnold jumped in and was immediately punched back. Behind all the dust I could see Red Dot with his arm extended and he was the one who punched Arnold back.

I have only ever used the [Supreme eyes] to check if it was okay to kill someone, it was the first time I read further. I did it because I am interested in any ability that can stop the phantom menace.
Arnold quickly got back up and charged right into Red Dot's fist again, this time instead of flying back Arnold stayed still in one place as he got pummelled by Red Dot. He finally landed a hit and he stopped to celebrate, Red Dot countered and for the next few they exchanged blows equally. The old man was outgunned at the end retreated for a breather.
The two girls jumped in front of Arnold just as he attempted to pursue Red Dot.

That second last part did not sit well with me, more especially because she had only looked once at me and never again since they got here. How can you be interested in someone and not show any signs to at least grab their attention, or was she planning to force things? Either way, she was not getting near me, this body refused to entertain anyone, not Sizana. I could not wait to get rid of it.
Seraphin bombarded Arnold with the dust particles and he would just phase through them and charge towards the women relentlessly. Every time he got too close Lela would just knock him back with her shield. As Arnold phased through the projectiles he made it so that he wouldn't sink into the ground and so that was used against him.
He did however dive and the girls flew up using a force field, Arnold shot out and he missed them. Seraphin enchanted him and sent him into orbit. They now turned their focus towards me, I ignored them and fired a bullet into the air.
