The two scientists crash into each other, their Borg shields buckling under the impact. Both their shields begin to warp, seemingly growing nine giant serpentine heads each, and the heads wrap around each other, biting and tearing at their ethereal "flesh".
Griffin and his clone simultaneously attempt to cause spontaneous explosions in each other's body through the actualization of nuclear fission. Simultaneously, they both instantly calculate the necessary counter formula for the spell, and dispel it before their internal organs are converted to energy.
Portals appear around the room, gateways to ancient stars, heat radiating out from them. If not for the dark magic of the temple containing the heat, the planet's atmosphere would have ignited. Planes of night sky, like tinted glass dotted with stars fill the room at different angles, containing each other's portals and attempting to redirect the heat back onto each other. Both Griffin and his clone observe the motion of atoms, the radiation pouring into the room threatening to fry them both to ashes, and nullify it.
Griffin compresses his Borg into a concentrated shield around his flesh, the serpentine heads shrinking back. His clones Borg heads close in, but before they can get close they are turned aside, the space around Griffin twisted to deny entry. The clone continues the assault, but begins chanting words under his breath, and Griffin feels the formulas around his spell of Twisted Space begin to unravel. Concentrating, he begins chanting himself, repairing the spell as fast as his clone is dispelling them, and increasing the complexity of the formulas, layering them over and over to slow down his clone's efforts. The clone disperses his Borg's serpentine heads and puts all his effort into stripping away the Twisted Space, and Griffin slows his repairs of Twisted Space, seizing on the opening and unleashing a laser of rainbow light, a concentrated beam of radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum at his enemy, attempting to burn through his clone's shield.
