B

You'll just have to do more to make the man in white submit. You add to the illusion and have "Deus Ex Machina" move to bring out a second arm! You put magic constructs into the left hand now, and you use it to aim for him under the right arm. He evades and zips around to thrust his gold ribbons as spears at the head! You create barriers within the head to take the impact, because otherwise the spears were going to pass right through and expose this is all fake.

You have both arms line up, and you have the hands come in. The man in white gets out of the way to avoid being squashed between the hands. The impact makes a shockwave and it rattles the gold. He stabilizes again, you bring the hands apart, and you go to swat him again. You get closer this time, trapping some of the gold between the hands, but he's just on the outside.

You pull the hands apart just enough and grab at him, but he slips away again. To be fair, it's hard for you to judge where he is relative to the arms when you're down here and the fake robot is above you.

You have the hands hover near each other, imagining a circle. You put Vindar's lightning and Faraera's flame in the space between the hands, as if the machine was creating Plasma magic. You can't hit a target as agile as the man in white with the laser, but you work in some Arcane.

"Arcana Stellae," you say, using more echo Sound magic.

The Arcane Stars spread outward from the hands for 10 meters in all directions.

"NEXUS!"

You release the plasma and it fires into one Star to spread out through all the others!

"WHOA!" the man in white shouts as he narrowly avoids the lasers.

But his gold isn't as lucky. A lot of it gets hit, superheated, and even cut up! He grumbles and brings the pieces around, but you hurry to grab at him. He uses the pieces to create a cage around him to brace against the hands and keep them back. You push harder and the gold starts to bend.

"Aurum!" the Raven lookalike shouts. "Just get outta here!"

"What?" the man in white.

"Get out of here!" she shouts. "We're not going to win, so someone has to get away!"

You put more pressure into crushing the gold cage, but "Aurum" drops and lands in the water. You look for him to resurface but he doesn't.

"I think he's going deeper!" Beast Boy says before transforming back into a dolphin.

Dolphin Beast Boy dives down and looks for Aurum.

"What's he getting at, going deeper?" you say. "There's no way he can escape like that."

But then something flies out from the water! It's like a golden torpedo!

"YEAH!" the lookalike shouts. "GO, AURUM!"

Aurum pilots this golden flying cone and takes off across the water at incredible speed!

"Bollocks..." you say.

A) Pursue Aurum
B) Secure the others

This space no longer matters, huh? ... Yeah, it no longer matters.
