[Looks like that might be too late because she's CHANGING now.]
[The other Roxy starts morphing, getting taller, back arching, clothes turning into fur, and...grew cat ears? Actually, it appears she's some sort of lithe two legged cat-werewolf like creature. That is until the beak formed on her mouth, and tentacles grew from her side. Tears were constantly falling from her eyes.]
[There was also a hole in the middle of her chest, the void crest surrounding the hole.]
[Just going for nearest object? Also what colored tile do you think you happen to be on?]
[Yeah nice try voices in my head I AM THE AUTHORITY ON WHEN IT IS FINE AND THIS IS NOT FINE.]
[Just gonna keep hopping my way towards the green curtain... and pause along the way to fire a freaking laser beam at Dark Roxy since she's not paying attention and all. Far from his biggest, but... one.]
[So know that red stuff that seems to be tying Roxy to a chair? Yeah, THERE'S A FUCKTON OF THAT SHOOTING OUT BEYOND THE CURTAIN. Though you might catch a brief glimpse of a....giant frog? Before that.]
[And now there is stringy red shit trying to put holes into EVERYTHING.]
[Well, I did need a weaon that could deal with teh void. NEXT OBJECTIVE: TO THE CHAIR.]
[And Ed is going to be trying to use his cloak to throw off any of the red stuff coming his way. Important things about the cloak: It self cleans and repairs in addition to billowing like a badass.]
[Also important he is testing what happens if he wizard lasers a red stuff.]
[NO VETOED. COME UP WITH AN IDEA THAT DOESN'T SUCK.]
[OKAY HOW ABOUT WE CHARGE RIGHT AT DARK ROXY AND PREP A BIGGER LASER.]
Come on... right at me! I'll show you what determination can do. Even in the face of someone big and scary and powerful... I'm not fighting alone! And that means I've got a power beyond what an empty void can make! And since Roxy has friends... so does she!
[No you don't, you have nothing, nothing is all you need, peace, happiness, nothing]
It's always alone! There's no one with you! [And there's the whispers under her voice now and she's charging, still winking in and out and the tentacles on her side are lashing out for him.]
[You know that moment in every shonen manga where the hero just charges right in heedless of how horrible those tentacles are about to be and just fires the biggest attack he's got off point blank and hopes it works?]
PEOPLE AREN'T JUST NOTHING! You, me, all of us are connected! And while some nothing is needed, people need somethings to survive! Those connections to each other! And even if it's hard, and even if you're scared and you want to give up because you think it's useless... I'M GOING TO BE YOUR FRIEND ANYWAY, NO MATTER WHAT! EVEN IF I HAVE TO KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO YOU TO GET YOU TO STOP HURTING PEOPLE!
[Never let it be said Vetoed isn't a shonen idiot. This is a significantly bigger burst than the other ones, taking up the vast majority of Vetoed's magical reserves. Like the first one he fired, it's big and it's destructive and it's actually fairly lengthy too.]
[And he hopes it works because he'll need a second to rest after that.]
[The lazer kicked up a lot of the ash. It's a lot of loose bits of burnt things, only natural to get a cloud of stuff like that. The red strings are still moving around, but it seems to be avoiding him. Luck or maybe...?]
[Strange. There seems to be some of those broken objects fully in tact on the square around him.]
[Slowly, the ash starts to settle.]
[And Shadow Roxy is laying on the floor, back to her human form.]
[Running over to him, looking him over. And...no, why, not NOW.] I-
[And then there's a loud sob.]
Holy shit, she's not dead?!
[And indeed she is not. In fact, she seems to be curled up on the ground and crying.] I just want it to stop hurting. I don't want to be quiet, I don't want to bury it all! Please, please stop hurting me, please stop...

Re: One on One
[That curtain... NO LETS GO FOR THE CURTAIN.]
Re: One on One
[Also Dark Roxy is actually kind of...]
[Going for actual Roxy.]
Re: One on One
[Just gonna keep hopping my way towards the green curtain... and pause along the way to fire a freaking laser beam at Dark Roxy since she's not paying attention and all. Far from his biggest, but... one.]
Re: One on One
[Though in looking back to aim, you'll notice she keeps on...winking in and out of sight.]
Re: One on One
HEY! I'M OVER HERE! AND I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!
Re: One on One
[And lasers are doing a good job at delaying her and she's growling, turning towards him, but....does not pursue.]
[DO YOU PULL BACK THE CURTAIN.]
Re: One on One
[Because the answer is always yes we are pulling the curtain lets see what we got.]

Re: One on One
[And be glad Roxy knows/believes that cloak is magic, though the repair isn't as fast as you might like.]
[The void Roxy is bounding around the red stuff, though, and heading for him.]

Re: One on One
[Haha... I'm tiiired.]
Your friends.. heard...
Roxy... are you okay?
Re: One on One
[Robin groans from her chair.] Wha...? FUCK! [She is up and out of it. Her bindings are gone too.] Vetoed!
Re: One on One
But I didn't run away. Or give up. Because you were there... Even though it was really loud... and I really wanted to.
Everyone's like that... so it's okay. You can say it. Alright?
Re: One on One
[And then there's a loud sob.]
Holy shit, she's not dead?!
[And indeed she is not. In fact, she seems to be curled up on the ground and crying.] I just want it to stop hurting. I don't want to be quiet, I don't want to bury it all! Please, please stop hurting me, please stop...
Re: One on One
And she's hurting... because you won't ever let anything out... or trust anyone with how you really feel.
Please... stop hurting her, Roxy. Okay?
Re: One on One
I can't....
I can't go to the void. I can't.
[Another sob from the shadow who curls up tighter.]
Re: One on One
She's a part of you. An important part. Like the rest of my Seal is to me. Denying that is just going to cause problems... now and in the long run.
You're the Rogue of Void. That means the void is a part of you. And she won't ever... not be a part of you. Okay?
You can definitely do it. I believe in you.
Re: One on One
She's not the void.
She's my desire to leave in the void and never come back.
Re: One on One
Your desire to run, but it's yours. Acknowledging you have it doesn't mean you have to run away.
She's you.
Re: One on One
[But the Shadow her is sitting up, looking at her longingly.]
