SageAcrin Two forces of malevolent, barely-stoppable, pure darkness. Both feminine, both dangerous. Both at the top of their field. Of course, one has a weakness. --- "Killer?" Lady said, as Killer slowly regained conciousness. "Ugh. Damnit. BoltX, BoltX, Bolt-frigging-X, doesn't that bastard know anything else..." Killer said, as he shook his head. "It's a wonder my hair isn't still on fire. Say, wait a minute. Wasn't your match later today?" "Actually, that was three days ago." Amy Sage informed him, as she proceeded to take his temperature without fair warning. "She has been here since then, though. She threw her match just to be by your side, in fact..." "Killer." Lady smiled, and hugged one of Killer's cast-bound arms. "...damn it. That was a really...oh, never mind." Killer sighed. --- The Profound Darkness may have won. However, she realized that maybe she didn't...totally win, after all. After all, she had no one she cared for like that. On the other hand, this gave her lots of free time where she didn't have to recuperate. So she promptly leveled the country of Zetegenia. Hey, if you can't have love, a good hobby works pretty well as a substitute. Profound Darkness: 33 miasmacloud Jade and Killer have something in common. They're both guys who became super special awesome after receiving super special power from a woman. Unfortunately for Killer, Lady never gave him the power of BoltX. Jade: 49 SageAcrin You know, there are certain advantages to the modern, intelligent woman over the more dated stylish man. The modern, intelligent woman has style, grace, yet brutal power when needed, a mixture of the old and the new in a remarkably beautiful form of both living and fighting. The stylish man gets his face punched in. ... Wait, no, that's just Albert Simon and Hrist. Huh. --- "I really didn't want to use my fist, though. Too much of a mess." Hrist said in disgust, as she deftly yanked her halberd from Albert Simon's face, leaving him to crumple slowly to the ground. Sometimes, neither side of a match fits a cliche. On the other hand...there's always room for an axe(-blade) to the face. Even if it happens to be attached to a halberd. Albert Simon: 30 SageAcrin A tale of high adventure! Swords, sorcery, dragons, bishies, magic and violent combat! Damsels to be saved, accolades to be won, and a new legend to be born! ... Wait, damsels to be saved? --- "...doesn't that beat all. Teepo, don't you have any shame at all?" Rei asked. Teepo, wearing a long, flowing, purple dress, simply shrugged. "Well, it worked, didn't it?" "Yeah, but...oh, never mind." "Look, he thought I was the damsel that needed rescuing. It was a perfect ambush. Pride isn't worth getting my face stabbed. It worked. Now shut up." Teepo finished. Glaring at Rei, he turned on his (high) heel and strode off. "...He's never really been the same after getting lost all those years, but I didn't think he'd be into that." Rei muttered to Momo. Momo was too busy taking pictures of Teepo to reply. Claude Kenni: 36 Otter Arnaud eyed Lin warily. "So, you've got an ARM, huh? Is it the transforming, magically reacting, town exploding kind?" Lin looked at her own gun quizzically. "What? No, I don't think this does any of that." "You're sure? You're not going to lose control and blow something up, here?" "Well, I did blow up a train with a bazooka at one point, but I'm not really sure where that went. So, no." Arnaud shrugged. "All right then, just making sure. Illusion!" Hey, you never know. Lin: 17 Gatewalker Maya shook her head in disgust, "I can't believe you talked that poor boy into a drinking contest as well." Chuckling under his breath, the old martial arts master took another sip of his sake and gestured to the drunk and unconscious form of Halley on the other side of the table, "He isn't hurt, is he? Just think of it as an object lesson. Next time, he won't be in such a hurry to get drunk before he's old enough." Rolling her eyes at the old man, Maya called in Lang to carry Halley back to his room so he could sleep it off. She also wanted to make sure that Halley, unlike Kazan's last opponent, didn't end up stumbling into someone else's room and causing them a whole lot of trouble. It didn't work, of course. Just like before, the boy woke up in Zidane's bed wearing a rather...unusual outfit. Nobody really figured Halley for the bellydancing type, after all. Once again, Zidane protested ignorance and innocence. Once again, nobody believed him and he got beaten senseless by Yuri, Koudelka and Albedo(the latter seemed to be pissed at Zidane for 'horning it on his turf'). Meanwhile, Kuja seems to be in the best mood he's ever been in since his last Godlike title, and even the mere sight of alcohol is enough to send him into a rather creepy giggling fit... Kazan: 45 Dunefar
SageAcrin Have you ever heard the old saying, "Never bring a sword to a gunfight."? Wait, is that really an old saying? --- "Huh. I thought sure that saying's been around for ages." Rudolf Steiner mumbled, staring blankly at the smirking Algus. "Anyone else know?" He called out to the crowd. Rudolf, tallying crowd members cries (usually confirming that it was an old saying.), completely ignored the hail of crossbow bolts Algus was firing at him. "Well, anyways, it holds true with a crossbow, even if it's not old. Wouldn't you agree?" The now-studded-with-bolts Hunter shrugged, hefted his Nei Shot, and proceeded to prove his point aptly. The moral of the story is simple. No matter how clever you try to be in distracting your opponent, ultimately it's not enough...if you just plain suck. Rudolf Steiner: 46 SageAcrin Mio has won a lot of battles, using balloons. One of her best attacks, a barrage of chemically filled balloons has made her the terror of Light. But usually not like this. --- "...I...I told you. They're...not...helium." Mio said, staring blankly as the half-dead Kahn inhaled yet another of her ballons, after plucking it from the air. "D...damn it, stop trying to trick me! It always takes a lot of these to make my voice squeaky, and by god I never pass up a chance! Ahahahaha...hahaha......haaa...." Kahn swayed on his feet, then slumped slowly to the floor, not having managed to attack Mio once. Mio, under the circumstances, did the only honorable thing. She sent Kahn several dozen helium balloons, in the hospital. At last report, Kahn was having a blast. Why would a tough man like Kahn like helium balloons that much, you ask? Simple. The tough guys always have the weird hobbies. Mio: 45
A (not so) Philosophical Experiment - Zwei! Hunter Sopko Ironically, it proved fruitless for most of the scientists. Many of them come from such advanced civilizations that lightbulbs are obsolete, or backwards eras that are just rediscovering machinery. Of course, thats when Yuri Hyuga happened to be passing by. He stared blankly at everyone marvelling over a lightbulb and shook his head. "What the hell, people? It's just a damn lightbulb." He then wordlessly went about his task. Changing into Amon to fly up and change it could be considered overkill, considering there was a ladder already set up... but this is Yuri freakin Hyuga. We expect that kind of showmanship from him.
