The boulder flew towards Rem, its weight carrying an incredible amount of force with it. She quickly side stepped out of the way. The boulder crashed through the wall of the clock tower, falling to the trees below.Rem studied Okabe. He said he used the Authority of Sloth, and it apparently granted him the ability to use the Unseen Hands. Rem had no idea what the Unseen Hands were, but she figured it had something to do with the fact that Okabe removed a chunk of the floor and threw it without so much as lifting a finger. The name Unseen Hands made her think of what the title entailed, invisible hands. That was definitely going to be a problem.

Subaru screamed and screamed, but tape prevented his voice from reaching anyone's ears. Subaru could only watch as the hands that Okabe produced hung in the air, every single one of them facing Rem, she wasn't regarding them. Subaru panicked as one of the hands reached for her arm, but Rem did not react to it. It was as if she couldn't see them for herself.

Rem never averted her gaze from Okabe. He was an opponent that she would have to study very closely if she even wanted the smallest chance of survival.
Suddenly, something grabbed hold of her right wrist, it squeezed tightly. Rem instantly pulled her arm away, but the grip never left. The Unseen Hand.
Realizing this, Rem frantically tried to pry the invisible hand off her wrist. The grip of the hand proved to be strong as Rem was unable to loosen the grip. She tried to even bite it but nothing affected the arm. In an instant, the arm forcefully jerked Rem to the side. Rem screamed as she flew.
Subaru watched in horror as Rem was thrown across the room. Her body flopped in the air until she hit a solid wall. Her body left a crater from the impact, imprinting her into the stone.
"MMMMMMMAAHAHAHAH WWWWEEEEEEMM!" This was all that came out of Subaru's mouth as he witnessed Rem, the one he loved most, violently thrown into a wall.
Her eyes closed, gravity took over and pulled Rem back to the floor, falling flat on her back.
Okabe, for once, wasn't smiling. He turned to the crying Subaru and observed his sadness.
Okabe.
A familiar voice found its way into Okabe's mind. It was a distant memory that he desperately tried to forget. He shook his head and looked back at Subaru, this time with a smile. "Well, Subaru. Did you enjoy your front row seat?"
Subaru looked at Okabe. He had murder in his eyes and mind. As Subaru tried his hardest to shake his bonds, he yelled at Okabe, "MMMMAAAAAAAHHHHHH! IIEEEE WAH MMMAAAGGHNN!"
"I'll take that as a yes." Okabe moved over to the computer monitor next to the orange portal on his side. He typed away at the keyboard inputting new code for a better software. "There, that should stabilize the connection." The hum of the gateway lowered.
Okabe clapped his hands together, "Well, now we're ready." He walked towards the portal, "I have someone I want you to meet, Subar- OOFFF!" Before he could step through the portal, a large wall of ice hit him on the side, slamming him into the wall. When he got back to his feet, he was holding his hip. "God damn that hurt!
Looking for his attacker, he saw the same blue haired girl standing where she fell, a glowing, white horn was on her forehead. She reached over to pop in the shoulder that Okabe dislocated. A fiery look was in her eyes.
