“That's right, I've seen this technique before. Well over five hundred years ago, I faced an assassin in my own universe possessing a similar ability. They could also 'skip' ahead in time, and all that time they passed through was stored in another dimension. Where you are hiding now, too afraid to battle me in this space. So, I'll offer you the same deal I gave her: fight me in this dimension, and I won't invade yours.”
Heavy silence hangs between you both as you stand tall in one thousand times this planet's gravity unbowed. But you know he won't take the deal, at the end of the day assassins are cowards who are afraid of true confrontation. So, after a few more seconds of silence you sigh, shaking your head.
“Very well. You have made your choice. While I won't enjoy this, you will even less.” you tell him, closing your eyes and holding your arms out by your sides. Fully attuning yourself to the living energy of the universe you fully open yourself to it, feeling the 'flow' of the universe itself. And there, after a moment's search you see it! The Shatterpoint of his technique. Before that point can fade you reach out with the Force, driving the full weight of all the power you can bring to bear directly into it. Cracking open the barrier between dimensions, stepping through into Hit's dimension.
“Wh-What?!” the assassin says, jaw hanging as he sees this. However, the moment you step through, just as before, your connection is severed. This dimension, this place isn't a part of the natural order, a part of the universe at large. This place, this hideaway, is not a part of the universe at large. “That's impossible!”
“I warned you. You cannot hide from me, assassin. Even running to this dimension won't save you from me.” you tell him, raising your right hand at him while focusing your ki into your right hand's first fingertip. “Now, to put you out of commission.”
“Tch.” Hit replies, eyes narrowing as the strange, cracked glass-like appearance of his dimension fades around you both. Returning to the 'real' world, leaving his little dimension behind. “So, you can force your way through my Tides of Time. But can you handle this?”
Immediately his right fist is raised in a punch, as if he already fired it, his strange projectile attack immediately firing at your chest again. But you intercept it with your beam of ki, having been ready for the attack. Your attacks collide, exploding in a flash where you feel his energy vanishing once more. But only for a second, it reappearing behind you.
