The large crystal appears to have... Something within it; its shadowy core ripples like fire, as opposed to the cores of the other crystals, which appear to be misty.
An unseen force pushes the group from the small chamber before the door into the larger one, the two slabs closing together quickly with a thud.
Another eye emblem appears on the shadow within the large crystal- much larger this time, as if it were an actual eye- as the Remnant forms, seemingly out of nothing, between it and the group.

The Remnant forms its jagged blade and immediately swings it overhead at the Anomaly, who deflects it to the side with his glaive. Its sword in the ground, even the Remnant appears to be having a bit of trouble lifting it up again.
Argon hangs back, trying to line up a shot.

It seems the Remnant had already set its sights on someone else, so for the time being Danu watches and readies herself to intervene if someone needs help.

Perhaps this would be over fairly quickly, after all the group did have a fairly decent team composition.

The Remnant growls painfully, staggering a little. He lunges towards Tim with a smaller, more manageable sword, but is parried by the Anomaly's glaive before the blade can hit. The parry is followed up by a swing to the Remnant's head with the not-pointy end of the weapon.

In any case.  Yeah, a glave is simply a large one sided knife on a stick, whereas spears are radial with blades on both sides leading to a fine point.  Glaives also tend to have their blade with a minor curve until it ends at it's point.  Being less effective against armor than a spear, but better versus multiple unarmored targets due to the ability of using capable slashing strikes with a longer blade than standard spears have available.

There seems to be a pretty intense duel going on between them right now. Despite the Remnant's weakened state, Umbra is twirling his glaive around like a madman in his efforts to parry every swing.

A thunderous sound echoes throughout the room as the silver spike launches from Argon's railgun and pierces the Remnant almost instantaneously. Several of the crystals lining the walls shatter from the shockwave of the noise.
The spike has embedded itself in the opposite wall. Collapsed on the floor a meter or two away from where the Remnant once was is a man in strange, medieval-looking clothing and leather armor. He seems mostly unharmed.

The one-eyed shadowy core of the large central crystal is now writhing and distorting...

You can't help but feel that something big is coming.

Umbra stands back up and readies himself. State does the same, sights locked onto the mysterious mass of dark energy.

As the silver spike was being 3D printed in the railgun's chamber, she had influenced it slightly to make it behave like one of the artifacts the angel had spoken of. But of course the honors for the success had to stay with Argon, her abilities must remain hidden and this battle was certainly making it difficult!

Once the creature is split and the large crystal is destabilizing, Danu finally calls her sword and armor to the ready. She could feel the darkness surging from the crystal, and needed to maintain isolation or such exposure would quickly become a costly power drain.
