(219) Control (Part 2)

Each time the Blue and Purple energy clashed, both liquids evaporated. At first, Geth was happy with this development, but as time drew on, he realized that his body was pulling more Mana from the environment than his Immersion could replenish. 

The two energies pressed forward, each searching for an opportunity to overtake the other. Geth controlled his Mana to slide around the broken walls of the dome while the purple energy tried to pierce straight through.

Neither were gaining the upper hand. 

The purple energy had the advantage due to its speed of replenishment, but every time it would get ahead, something on the outside would distract it. This gave Geth the chance to cut it off at the doorway and destroy what had made it into his mental sphere.

By the time he would clean up the residual aura, a new wave of purple energy would burst from the tunnel. Unless he could stop conserving Mana, this battle would remain a stalemate.
