Uh, yeah, I go through nine issues of Tempore waxing on about his purpose in everything and then the big fight scene lasts exactly one page.  I didn't plan this one this way, either.  Honestly, I had no idea how long it would last, but I had so much going on that I thought it would go on for more than a page.  However, as soon as I saw it was feasible, I decided to put it all on one page.  You can see that I wasn't thinking about this at the beginning of the page.
 
But man, the primary colors can be really pronounced.  Originally, Qlrn was going to have the same color energy as Tempore, but I decided to differentiate in order to make things easier.
 
And alas, poor Qlrn.  I loved your randomness.  There's something so fun about writing nonsense, and Qlrn is all about nonsense.  He speaks in actual languages in exactly two panels, and the rest is gibberish.  Though, I did make some sort of weird sense about his dying phrase.
 
Also, why are they able to talk in space?  I like to think that Tempore isn't really speaking, but communicating in a way which makes it like speech.  Can you talk through an unmoving mouth, anyways?
And Qlrn is talking.  Without a mouth.  In space.  No explanations needed other than he's a chaos agent, and can and will do whatever doesn't make sense.
 
Tomorrow: What next?
