Thumbs down The Ultimate Combat Arena

Reopened: a place for everybody to kill each other, without restrictions (except below).

The basic rules: no one-post kills, no unfair god-moding (invincibility, impossible escapes, ultra-powerful weapons/armour), no camping the respawner, no staying alive for too long. Choose any non-WMD weapons and remember that the Respawninator is up and running to bring you back to life when you die.

We don't care who's made up the most obscure form of telekinesis, most incredible Katana or invincible metal. Creativeness is the key here. It is how you use your weapons (and yourself), not what they are, that decides who survives ("survive" is a relative term here that only applies to short periods of time).

Let the carnage commence!

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

This was always lame because no-one judged it. An arena with rules is better. Try that.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

This worked brilliantly for years, then people turned up who, unless they're within a rigid set of rules, can't resist being invincible. As long as people having fun is more important than your own staying alive it works. You're supposed to die, that's why the respawn link was invented.

So in short, if an open arena like this doesn't work it's the fault of the roleplayer not the thread.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

However, for the reasons of everybody trying to be invincible, there will be two slots for people who can judge and commentate (although not on their own battles, of course). Also, anybody who thinks a rule needs adding can post it here.

To begin with, start roleplaying and post any comments relating to the above in [ooc].

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

[ooc] Judge and commentate? If you mean they act in character to enforce the rules then that's all good - they used to be called enforcers; if however that's an ooc handing out of marks then you lose the two things these threads always had going for them - speed, no need to wait for one or two people to dm before carrying on; and longevity - if there's not much in the way of maintainence the DM doesn't have to stay impartial and can actually be part of the fun without any hard work - so they don't get bored. [/ooc]

With a torrent of totally superfluous lights streaming from a series of circles on the arena floor, Richard materialses in what used to be the centre of the arena, only to find that this edition has been built all of twenty feet to the east, slightly spoiling his dramatiic entry. In a valiant, if somewhat futile, attempt to cover up this error he quickly sprints across to the real centre and stands there, hoping that no-one noticed.

After the few seconds it ought to have taken for the lights to die down around him, Richard sprints off across the arena looking for a good place to set up an ambush on the next person to arrive. A task that is rather akin to trying to hide an elephant on a skating rink.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

A small black ball popped into existance in the arena, sucking the light from its vinicty. It slowly got larger, small waves of turbulance formed on its skin, deforming it as a whole as the energy within it grew. As it approached 4 meter squared it became increasingly unstable, the waves becoming larger until....something happened at its core, it started emitting a strange echoing yell along with distorted screams, suddenly becoming fluidic, it suddered.

"Argggggggg........" The ball spat out a disheveled Shadowhawk, in a state of semi-undress and topped with a lacy black thong over his head.

"And stay out!" The ball stated finally, before popping out of existance.

Shadow picked himself up, corrected his clothing and removed the thong from his head, pocketing it. He looked around at the stunned audience.

"What? Can't a guy have alittle fun?"

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

[ooc] Enforcers should only intervene if absolutely necessary (i.e. if somebody has broken a rule) so that nobody has to wait on them. Commentators don't really affect anything so nobody should care what they do anyway. All is in character, else it's boring. [/ooc]

*David marches into the arena after spending rather a long time at the weapons cupboard. Wearing full grey camouflage (to blend with the concrete of the arena), anything he might have obtained seems to be distributed about the various pockets on his flak jacket, combat trousers and belt. His beret is black, rather than the usual navy blue, but in his hands he nevertheless wields his favourite weapon, the Kinschien rifle. One of the more noticeable features in his outline is a sword in a sheath hanging from his belt.

*Lengthy descriptions over, supposedly everybody just admiring him for the total time it might take to read the first paragraph (slow readers inevitably more amazed than fluent ones), David steals away, out of the bright arena centre, to hide among the shadows in the arena edges.*

Notes: A Kinschien rifle is basically a single-shot rifle with lots of good features that you might want with one. It doesn't really exist.
The sword looks fairly ceremonial and majestic, but probably isn't very good in practice. The tip of the scabbard is loosely strapped to David's leg, which means it won't swing around and make it too awkward.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

[ooc] Yay, I just hate waiting for people to mark things I volunteeer to wield the large sstick of thwackage... umm, I mean... umm.... [/ooc]

Richard looks between the two entrants and quickly comes to a series of conclusions. Firstly, people wearing a thong as a helmet are probably not particularly well equipped in other areas and so pose no significant threat. Secondly, that the person entering the arena via the door has the strange impression that you can sneak around after being seen when there is nothing to hide behind. Thirdly, he notices that this last entrant has brought one item he forgot - weapons.

"Damn." he mutters and, trying to ignore the fact that he is likely to get shot at any moment, charges across the arena towards the self proclaimed 'guy'.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Walking through one of the doors emerges a man. Clad in bright white robes, leaning somewhat heavily on his walking stick, he strokes his pure white beard as he looks around, in particular the man who thought that he could hide by running around the wall.

Watching the latest arrival, the old man chuckles as he is thrown forcibly out. Then another participant sprints across the arena ground, and this one, who is actually moving in a manner indicating he is ready to play marks him.

Raising his left hand (with the right holding tightly onto his walking stick) the old man mumbles some incantation, then flicks his wrist. With the flick of his wrist, purple energy forms around it and 3 missiles of arcane energy and fired, followed by another three, followed by one last volley, all heading towards Richard. The magic missiles had minimal tracking, and didn’t pack much of a punch, only enough at best to knock someone down, but they would annoy.

“Time to play.” Mumbles Bakan as he then starts working on another incantation.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Half way through his somewhat inadvisable charge Richard suddenly finds himself slapped on the side of the head by what his peripheral vision identifies as a luminous purple beanbag. He stumbles forwards another step before being hit in the back by another one and a third shoots past ruffling his hair as it skims along the top of his head. At this point he decides to see just what this is all about and turns round.

Just in time for the first of a second volley to hit him right in the face, swiftly followed by another two that for some reason choose to target his left arm. Through the blurred aftermath of a punch to the face Richard just about makes out a third trio of purple things heading towards him and decides to get out of the way. Being a fair sight more than a little dazed he has a bit of a problem working out exactly which way is out; and as his legs head off to the left his body tries to go right, resulting in a brief moment of almost cartoonish quality as he hangs in midair, two bolts flying straight under him and a third over the top. He then falls to the ground.

Blustering a stream of curses – some of which he even knows the meaning of – Richard gets to his feet and with eyes that are rapidly regaining the ability to focus, looks for his attacker. The person is obvious, there is one person in the wrong direction, one person in the same position as him, and one dressed up in a large white dress, looking for all the world like he thinks throwing beanbags and mumbling to himself makes him a wizard!

Richard redirects his previous charge and heads off in the direction of this new annoyance, thinking his way through a long list of witty remarks and stinging insults before ending up with the somewhat more common. “Waaargh!”

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Watching as his target reacts in a most amusing way, Bakan chuckles to himself as Richard, in a cartoonish style, manages to dodge the last volley before falling rather anti-climatically on the ground. As he stands up, Bakan sees that Richard reconized him as the attached, which was good. The next words to Bakans eyes seem to be the beginning of a spell.

Fearing that prehapes Richard has mystical abilities as well, Bakan quickly abandons his current spell and waves his hand at Richard, a ring on his pinky finger glowing pink. Around Richard, his outspoken "Waaargh!" ends up being a "Wa...." as the spell of silence surrounds him, preventing him from speaking, and more importantly to Bakan's mind, preventing him from casting spoken spells.

With that done, Bakan quickly gestures again, casting fairy fire upon Richard. Instantly purple and pink flames appear over Richard's body as if he was on fire, though fairy fire is 100% harmless, but for most people the shock of being on fire is enough to create a opening. As soon as Richard's body is highlighted with the purple and pink flames, Bakan raises his staff, the top of which, being a pale blue orb that it woven into the wood of the staff, starts to blow. Pointing it at Richard, Bakan thrusts the staff forward, launching an expanding wave of kinetic force designed to knock him down and away, prehapes causing a few minor injuries, even a broken bone or two, and maybe, just maybe, if he was very lucky, catching another combatent in the effects as well.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Richard finds himself suddenly unable to make a sound, which coming mid way through a dramatic battlecry comes as something of an anticlimax. Nevertheless he carries on undeterred, his soundless charge taking him it to almost fifteen feet from Bakan's outstretched hand before bursting into bright purplish flames. The lack of heat belies it's blatantly unfirey nature but Richard grinds to a halt looking at his hand enveloped in a peculiar shade of lilac.

Any persons in the audience who happen to be good at lip reading would make out the single word "Pink?" pass from his silent face moments before he commences his second journey to the arena floor in the wake of a blue shockwave. The spell feels almost cushioned as it brushes through the fire, blowing it away like so much flaming candyfloss. The ground however offers no such niceties, proving just as hard as when last they had met.

Once again pulling himself to his feet Richard feels the stubborn insistance of his body that it would be rather happier staying down this time; and ignores it. He looks up at what he has now been forced to conclude is a real wizard, albeit one with little sense of style, and does the first thing that comes to mind - leaps at him. Not being an olympic standard long-jumper he comes rather short of the necessary twenty five feet and spends the last metre or so reacquainting himself with the floor as is slides past him at speed before he finally complete the distance and sweeps through Bakan's robes at something just below ankle height.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Watching his target pick himself up, Bakan readies yet another spell when he sees Richard start charging him. Chuckling to himeself, Bakan quickly switches spells and casts one as Richard sweeps out at Bakan's ankles.

Wiht a slight grunt, Bakan stays upright, and feels the pinpricks of new power rush through his body, begging for release.

Damn, not enough.... yet...

Looking over at Richard, Bakan then openly laughs.

"Is that the best you have? Show me your best."

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

*David produces a small sachet from one of his pockets on which is written, "Instant Fortification. Just Add Water." He tears open the sachet and empties the contents on to the floor, then pours some water on to it out of his flask. Just as it said on the sachet, a sandbag machinegun nest (without the machine gun) seemingly pops out of the ground. Covering it with black camouflage netting, he hopes that it is slightly harder to spot out of the corner of one's eye than a man in a Hawaiian shirt under a spotlight.
*Regardless, David sets up his rifle and takes a few pot shots at Shadow.*

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

In a swift gust of wind and cherry-blossom Heiro materialises behind Bakan. Dressed in a long, dark grey robe with the hood thrown back, letting his carelessly maintained foot of black hair whisper around his neck in the last remanents of a breeze. In this moment of elation, he raises a flintlock pistol to the back of Bakans head and pulls the trigger...
... which a small fizzle later and the pistol explodes, firing small shards of metal at Bakans head whilst tearing a large portion of his own arm off.
Looking from one to the other, Heiro curses.

"Sonuva..."

With his good arm, his cradles his injury. At about which time, the physics of the situation hit him. All at once. Gravity and realative changes in volume drop him to one knee and force the breath from his lungs. When once again he could breathe and clamber to his feet:

"All in all, this hasn't been a good day."

Raising his remaining hand, Heiro musters his power and draws the cherry-blossom into one pile, that in seconds explodes into a fine mist. In it's place, a sword of irregular length with a strangely rusty pink sheen. Picking up his blade, Heiro swishes it experimentally, letting out a lovely blossom smell as he does so. Raising the sword and placing his bad arm behind his back, drawing the blood away from the small puddle that had formed during all this botched action. In all, the noticable cold sheen of sweat had begun to appear on Heiros brow, long before he even started a fight.

"En Guarde" He says feebly, aimed at no one in particular...

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Rather to his surprise Richard goes flying straight through Bakan's ankles rather than hitting them skidding to a halt just in time to roll over and look up at him laughing. "Is that the best you have?" the wizard starts. Yeah, sure; like anyone is at their best when unarmed and lying on the floor. "Show us your best."

At that moment a blast of cherry blossom sweeps over Bakan's shoulder, shortly followed by a large bang and several sparks of light. From the look on Bakan's face Richard almost wishes that whatever happened had been something to do with him. Hoping that this intrusion will distract his adversary for at least a few seconds, Richard gets to his feet.

About half a second after he gets stood up a faint buzzing can't be heard, followed by a peculiar sequence of silent bleeps. Richard waves a hand at Bakan and turns away slightly, taking his phone from his pocket; mouthing “be right back” Richard presses a button on the phone and vanishes.

“…”

“Pardon?”

“…” Richard repeats more emphatically.

“Oh… one moment sir.”

The following pause takes up all of what Richard would have considered eleven full moments before finally the sullen still feeling fades from the air around him. Richard would swear that he can hear himself breathing, but doing so seems like a waste of breath.

“Thank you.” He says instead. “What did you want me for?”

“Actually I think I got the wrong number.”

“Ah, well in that case I’d better be going back.” Richard pauses and reaches for a rack on one side. He pulls it open and snaps a short black carbine from its position.

“Mind if I take this?” He asks as he steps back towards the transport disc, locking a magazine in.

“Not at all sir,” the man replies as the disc grows into a stream of blue light, “not at all.”

Richard raises the rifle to his shoulder and thumbs off the safety. “Thanks.”

Back in the arena a scattering of sharp bursts of blue flare in the air around half a metre from what used to be Bakan’s front; but with Richard gone and the potpourri king behind him, might quite possibly be his back. Each burst signifying the exit of one projectile; the image flowing back through the portals from the first short burst allows Richard to refine his aim before suddenly, he steps through.

The air is suddenly filled with Richard surrounded by a rapidly fading nimbus of residual energy. More importantly for Bakan, it is also filled with a rifle and an increasing number of bullets that are all heading towards him.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

After his stinging taunt of his newest opponent, the last thing that Bakan expected was someone to appear behind him wield a gun. What was even more unexpected was how it exploded when the newest arrival fired it at the back of Bakan’s head. Instead of a lovely projectile that would normally tear his skull open, turn his brains into jelly then maybe exit for more fun, he was peckered with a series of metal objects, which strangly enough to the casual observer didn’t seem to cause damage, but fell to the ground. To Bakan, each of those hits added more power to the spell that was move within him.

Still facing his opponent, Bakan is annoyed when Richard rudly picks up and answers his cell phone, as of which point he promptly vanishes. With his main target gone, and time slowly running out to finish acting upon the spell, Bakan turns to his newest opponent, who as of this point pull out a sword, and waved it randomly.

“You don’t look like you belong here, let me help with your exit.”

Then, a tingling feeling, almost like a premonition, caused Bakan to turn slightly to see a blue flare in the air, and out of it coming Richard wield a weapon. By this point, Bakan staggers back from the multitude of bullets that preceded Richards return. Smiling with each one, Bakan continues to staggered back, strangely his body not erupting into a bloody mess from the sheer volume of bullets that struck him. After the initial barrage, Bakan chuckled out loud, feeling the raw power crashing against his barriers, begging for release, with the promise of bad things if he didn’t release it.

“Thank you kind sir. Now for your payment.”

Stretching his arms out wide, Bakan throws down his staff and reaches towards Richard and Heiro. Mumbling under his breath, he summons two walls of winds, one pushing Richard towards him, another pushing Heiro towards him. Looking up, his eyes now completely white, as Richard and Heiro push against the winds, Bakan channeled his new power into his hands, while amplifying it with his own. As the two struggled, Bakan let out a primal scream and a strong gust sent both Richard and Heiro flying towards him.

The two enemies flew towards him, probably trying to attack him, but his spell was in full gear, absorbing the damage, turning it into energy, energy that threatened to kill him if not released. In what is in reality a couple seconds, but to Bakan almost a minute, the two reach grabbing distance. His arms snapping out, the hands looking like claws, Bakan grabbed both Heiro and Richard, then with a final whisper, finished the rapidly overloading spell.

The two, being held up surprisingly by Bakan’s grip, suddenly sprout great wounds, similar to those as if Richard’s more recent attack actually worked. The bullets wounds gushed blood freely, and with a violent shake, the two simply fall apart into two bloody messes, their body’s nearby unidentifiable.

Falling to his knees, Bakan looks at his handiwork, and looks at his hand, which is shaking.

“Oh crap.”

Barely getting those words out, Bakan’s spell, which had lingered to long in his system, lashed out against him, turning him too into a bloody mess on the ground.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

With the finesse of a wounded goat Heiro thrashes around in Bakans grasp. The image wasn’t pleasant, huge holes torn into his chest and head, one arm AWOL and probably waiting to ambush him in the respawner. He’d always known it was a tricky bugger, but some things never learn. With the speed of a philosopher contemplating the secrets of the universe, Heiro passes on into the next world, before which, his spirit is dragged along what feels not too much unlike broken glass and into the respawner matrix. His body however, dropped from bakans grip as a shower of petals.

Damn this for a game of soldiers. I know when my body needs some work. Bastard mortal wounds, always bringing the occasion do..”wn. I can’t manage anything these days. Crap. I’m alive again.”

Looking forlornly at his arm, Heiro sighs. Bowing his head, he mutters a few distinct incantations and his body shimmers from the borrowed volume it presently occupied. The feeling of apparition never was a pleasant one, but at least it was a successful escape.

*

And borrowed volume it was. In the place of Heiro an average height woman of a rather cumbersome build appears. She is wearing midnight black biker leathers, the left arm cut off at the shoulder. Above her shoulders stands a fairly pretty face, with mousy curly hair hanging down to her mid back. The only remarkable thing about it is the eyes, an icy pale blue. Reaching to her hip she draws the SITES M9, also black and raises it in her left hand. As she completes her grip on the weapon, her fingers seem to bond with the device and sink into it somehow. This is confirmed when a network of tattoos along her exposed left arm come into existence. Flicking her aim over to David, she opens her mouth to speak. Before she can however, rounds from the machine gun in front of David flare in her direction. Her legs bend and her combat programs kick in. The leather of her biker suit tears from the knees down the outside and she leaps into the air, having lowered the gravity and leaped into the stream. She sails easily over the barrage and lands, with a serenely graceful step on the end of Davids gun. Light as a feather switches to heavier than her size and she drops down on the end of the weapon which naturally tears itself from Davids grip, spinning and twisting in the air before landing in a clatter beside her. Pushing her pistol forward, she cuffs him in the side of the head and shoots him in the leg with a blindingly quick shot.

“Analysis complete. New targets, await momentary arrival. Defense systems activate at 10% level.”

For a second, black circles flare in her eyes and she turns back to david, shooting him twice wore in the chest and once in the other leg, exposing the word lucky in a deep grey on her back…

Turning to his equiptment he pulled on his battle armour, the blue and gold markings over the silver plate gave the armour a somewhat angelic look. Tying his long white hair up in a topknot with one hand he pulled his bladed staff out of the socket in the wall with the other, the blades hummed slightly as the internal crystal motors powered up projecting a tindy forcefield around the blade, enhancing its allready considerable strenght and sharpness.
He turned to the entrance and started towards it, almost as an afterthought he guestured to a large metal disc which promptly flew hissing through the air, unspinning, directly at the back of his knees. At the last moment Nakartai jumped, landing on the disc which carried him straight through the door into the thick of the battle...

...and straight out the other side. Whizzing through the hail of bullets just unleashed at Heiro by David and smashing straight into the wall at the other side of the arena due to the multiple holes now covering his flying disc. "Sh*t, shouldn't have made it out of aluminium after all."

Rising from the wreckage of his disk, Nakartai dusted himself off and casually sent the wreckage flying off towards Heiro.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

*The large transport shuttle was nearing it's destination. The UCA.... It had been a while. Hewitt looked down at the combat arena's deceivingly calm, plain exterior form and smiled...*

It was about time.

*Leaning back in the lush leather seat of Talon One's pilot seat whilst sipping a martini, Hewitt took in the scenery as the shuttle cruised to the grounds on autopilot. Suddenly, the quiet comfort was interrupted by an abrupt, but catchy musical tone.*

Five minutes to drop window. All passengers not disembarking are asked to fasten their seatbelts and remain seated while the floor bay is open. For those disembarking we hope you enjoyed flying with us and have a nice day.

"..."

"Cute."

*Tossing back the martini Hewitt leaps out of the pilot seat and wanders back into what had previously been a lounge compartment before Hewitt's engineers had got to it. Ripping out all of the fancy furnature, they had made room for a hatch to be fitted into the floor especially for this occasion. It was purely for showmanship but, well... to hell with it. *

Warning. Three minutes to drop zone.

*Three minutes. Hewitt took the time to warm up a bit before entering the fight. Systematically, he stretched his left leg, right leg, left arm, right, left wing, right wing, tail, neck and most of the bits in between... Yep, it felt good to once again be in good, dragon fighting form.*

Warning. One minute to drop zone, opening hatch please stand clear.

*Warning claxxons go off as a portion of the shuttle floor began to slide back on itself, revealing the earth below and flooding the compartment with wild gusts of air. In response, Hewitt pulls out an iPod from his bag not too far away and sets himself up.*

Approaching drop zone... good luck supreme commander.

*Hewitt braces himself as the shuttle begins to swoop down on the arena.....*

"Well... here goes..."

*The light goes green.*

*Hewitt hits play.*

"WWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

*And so to the sounds of the latest dance music from the rave DJ's of world does Hewitt step out of the shuttle. He launches himself into a somersault, freefalling as Talon One pulls up and out of it's decent towards the arena. Hewitt lets himself turn twice in the air, all bunched up, before he spreads himself out for the task of flying. Extending his wings out only halfway from his body and keeping his limbs to his side, he manages to cruise on top of the rushing air without losing any body parts.*

*The drag does slow him down however, and as Hewitt arrives at the arena he is able to extend his wings out to act as an airbrake. Hewitt back peddles as he stalls a few metres over the arena grounds before allowing himself to drop with a heavy thump... Hewitt tries to look menacing on all fours but with the iPod still blasting, he can't stop himself from bopping his head to the beat.*

"Da-da da da-oh right." *Hewitt turns down the iPod.*

*ahem* "Ok then..."

*Hewitt gets up on his hind legs and starts wringing his foreclaws.*

"Who want's to be lunch first?"

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Fluffie appears out of nowhere, right in front of Hewitt. He looks rather angry, unhappy and worked up. "An iPod." he says, his intonation annoyed. His hands ball into fists, raising them next to each other, in front of his face. "Bitch!" he says, while jumping forward, punching Hewitt on the nose. Hard, left and right taking turns, time and time again and as he does so, he continues saying or rather yelling "Bitch!".

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

He was a gruff mercenary type spoiling for a fight. In a totally useless jungle green camo. He was in a perfect position he took the safety of his pulse rifle and shouldered it taking aim at one of his opponents. Then it suddenly grew dark, he looked up to see what was wrong with the sun. It was huge white with various groves in a predictable pattern.

Swoosh

Mrmao took another step, there was a squishing sound. He lifted up his left foot to see what it was. On the underside was red smear that looked like it might have been a gruff mercenary type complete with jungle camo.

That figures

Mrmao then sat down in the sand of the arena and took off his tennis shoes. He then gathered up his pale and matching plastic shovel. Now all he needed to do was find a spot for his sand castle. Five feet to the left was the perfect spot, however Mrmao is not one for reason. He picked the spot in front of the hungry Dragon next to the fire fight and plopped down. He would start with a nice tower he began filling the plae.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Serenity. Followed by Pandemonium. Much to her innate surprise, a large metal disk flys across the arena. Toward her.
That's just not on. Her pistol flucks toward it and she opens fire, aiming for what should be a fuel tank. Even with all her processing power she fails to see the impending lack of explosion. Instead, she literally jumps toward the nose diving disk and the moment her feet hit it she vaults upward. Her legs shift and the air around them shimmers unnaturally, and apon closer inspection the leather around them is seeming to melt. The vault carries her high into the air. Pointing her pistol at Nakartai and pulling the trigger...
...to an empty clip.
Her glowing arm concertinas open, and a new clip held on a mechanical arm folds out of it. releasing the empty, it loads the new one. Smirking, She starts pulling the trigger again, this time sending a stream of 6 bullets at Nakartai.

The landing on this leap is a bit more cumbersome. Her legs fold out under the knee and she hits the ground. The folding parts absorb the impact and as the smoke clears she strides clear, steam hissing from her lower joints...

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

*David dies and begins to respawn. While floating around in cyberspace he considers the most aggressive and unexpected way to attack Heiro. After a while, he realises a cunning plan, but proceeds to ignore it and just drop out of the sky instead. He comes into being half a kilometre directly above Heiro.

Before he fully respawns and gravity takes effect, he draws his sword and fixes it like a bayonet to his rifle. Then, gravity works, and David begins to fall, air whistling about him, flapping his clothes and threatening to remove his beret. He falls faster and faster, the noise in his ears growing louder, then Heiro comes into sight. David shoots his rifle wildly in a general downward direction until the magazine is fired off. In the last few seconds of his descent, the rifle is brought the bear, sword first, directly at the top of Heiro's head.*

"AAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!"

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

The crater deepens as David adds his direct decent to the landscape. Unfortunately for David, Heiroine leaned back, and the sword and bayonette impale her robot chest. and come through the other side. David continues past and hits the floor with rather alot of kinetic energy.
Just to make sure, Heiroine shoots the remaining two rounds into david. Or would have, if her body hadn't decided to colapse under the stress of the impact.

"Only one thing for it"

Heiroine leans and topples on david, then proceeds to self destruct.

"S.M.A.K.I.B.B.F.B protocol active. Goodbye"

The explosion erupts from their jount crater, incinerating rather a few things includnig David within a 20 metre radius. All of Heiroine that remains is a hand, with the middle finger raised in a mocking salute...

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Nakartai prepared himself for the incoming bullets, the clip sounded, empty.
Just as he released his energy the next round came at him.

"God the bitch is fast!"

The first three bullets were slowed by the slight remenant of the telekinetic shield Nakartai had raised, however before he could strengthen it the next three came through.
One impacted on the left shoulder and two in the stomache.
Doubling over in pain as one of the bullets pierced a join in the stomache plating Nakartai saw a body come hurtling out of the sky towards Heiro. Taking the time allowed by this gap in the fight Nakartai sealed up the breach in his armour, he hoped the internal regenerative properties of the armour would fix itself before something hit the join again.
When he looked up there was nothing more than a large crater with a bloody mess at the bottom where Heiro and the dive bomber were now lying.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Shadow watches as the others battle away at each other, attempting to correct his 'clothing malfunction' when he noted the arrive of Fluffie and Hewitt, one taking a rather large suborbital drop the other...just appearing infront of him. Fluffie started to hit Hewitt as Shadow prepped a plan.

Reaching around into his jacked, it pulled out of an interior pocket a small silver tennis ball sized orb, he tapped the top, opening the two halves, he hit acouple buttons inside and closed it, holding it in one hand. He turned around, ducked and then 180'ed to a standing position, throwing the orb at the Fluffie and Hewitt.

The orb whizzed through the air toward the two, then as it passed inbetween the two it froze mid-air, its surface suddenly changed into thousands of razor sharp pins and beeped loudly.

"Hey Fluffie! Something for old times sake!" Shadow yelled, smiling as he hit a small remote.

The orb beeped twice. Then exploded. The shockwave would throw even the heaviest of creatures a good number of feet, closely followed by several thousand razor sharp pins...

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Fluffie's head tilts and turns to face Shadow, looking what the dude wanted. Nothing good, judging from the... orb... flying towards him. This couldn't be good really, this was an Arena. People'd want him dead. As he realises this, he stops punching Hewitt's nose, jumping backwards and disappearing again, speaking one single word as he keeps his eyes fixed on Shadow, but not saying it out loud. "Bitch."

The moment the orb finishes exploding and the pins are done pinning whatever to whatever, two Fluffies reappear, one in front of Hewitt, picking up the nose punching where he had left before. Another straight in front of Shadow, hopefully taking him by suprise as he too starts punching the nose of the person in front of him. Synchronised, the two Fluffies speak. "Bitch."

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Nakartai stood up and picked a new target. Ah that one would do...

...two?
He did a double take and upon realising that there were infact two he decided simply that it meant more for him to kill. He raised his staff and ran at the Fluffie fighting Shadow, he didnt like the look of the dragon and decided that he would prefer to fight a person to a dragon.
Suddenly it hit him, there was an easier way than hand to hand fighting.
Concerntracting supremely hard Nakartai pulled huge chunks out of the walls with his mind and flung them at the fighting pair.

The rocks accellerated past the sound barrier in under a second.

The resulting sonic boom sent Nakartai flying along with the rocks and everything else within several hundred feet.

Picking himself up he decided rather quickly that...

"I ain't gonna throw them that fast next time."

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

*David respawns. His assault rifle and sword destroyed in the impact, he arms himself with a pistol in one hand and a combat knife in the other. A concrete column, leading to a network of girders above the arena, seems climbable enough, so he clambers up it. From the beams he can see most of the arena. He sets up his gear in a way to stop anybody from sneaking up on him, and to help defend against attack.

David then realises his position is directly above Shadow and a Fluffie. Among his dehydrated rations he finds an "Instant Safe. Just Add Water". Of course! The ideal plan! He can store his rations in this safe, and nobody will steal it! Unfortunately, the girder isn't a very wide surface and the safe, weighing a ton, overbalances, dropping to the arena floor below.*

"Oh no! Sorry!"

*To make matters worse, in David's clumsiness a pin came out of a fragmentation grenade, and the safe door was the only thing stopping the flyoff lever going off. Hopefully nobody would be careless enough to open that safe. After all, the signs on it saying "Valuable Items" and "Super Cool Stuff - Do Not Touch" should keep people a safe distance. For now, let's just hope it doesn't land on Fluffie or Shadow's toes!*

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Fluffie: "An iPod."

"Huh?"

*WHACK!*

"AH! What the-"

*smack!* *whack!* *smack!* *smack!* *whack!* *smack!*........


*Who would've thought diving in from near supersonic speeds would be the easy part? As soon as Hewitt arrived at the arena already someone was beating up on him. Completely bewildered, Hewitt stumbled backwards as the crazy dutchman went to work of his face over the matter of a simple little device.*

"Hey! *whack!* easy *smack!* on *whack!* the *smack* dental work...."

*Then as suddenly as it had started it stopped. Confused, Hewitt blinks a couple of times as he tries to figure out just what the f*ck just happened. The first thing he sees is a crazy man building a sandcastle before a commando-type falling from the heavens with guns blazing and screaming like he's Xena - warrior princess catches his eye. He continues to watch as the target of said commando-type - a cross between the terminator and a biker chick - simply steps back as said commando-type pile drives himself face first into the ground. Of course, this scene is followed by a spontaneous and unexpected explosion... which was fortunate in a way as it forced Hewitt to divert his attention away...

Shadow: "Hey Fluffie! Something for old times sake!"

...just in time to see a funny-shaped orb flash before his eyes.*

"Oh. Shit."

KAAAAA-BBBOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!

*The blast is so great that it physically knocks Hewitt back several feet. As he lands solidly on his back he quickly becomes aware of seemingly millions of stinging sensations throughout his face and upper body... a fragmentation grenade no less. Wincing, Hewitt props himself on his elbows, crying out loadly as he painfully pulls one of the needles from his eye. Ouch.

Then, before he has any chance to recover, the crazy dutch returns to finish off his face.*

"Ah! *smack!* f*ck! *whack!* That's *smack!* f*cking *whack!* IT!! RAWR!!!!!!"

*Hewitt does some smacking of his own, sending Fluffie flying from his battered head with a mighty backhand. Angry and frustrated, Hewitt leaps from his back onto his feet towering over the puny dutchman glowering at him.*

"So you don't like iPods huh? Huh!? Well... Haven't I just got the treat for you..."

"Cop this."

*Hewitt hits the COMMERCIALISE button.*

*As soon as Hewitt does this the arena is instantly replaced by an endless world of magenta. Funky music starts playing, and everyone - who has somehow all been miraciously turned into 3-D silouettes of themselves - can't help themselves but start dancing wildly...*

"Ha ha ha HA!"

*...Hewitt included.*

Doo wah, diddy diddy...

Doo wah, diddy diddy ha ha ha HA!

You, will, buy an iPod...

You, will, buy an iPod now now now NOW!

We, will, a-sim-ma-late you...

We, will, a-sim-ma-late you ha ha ha HA!

Resistance. Is futile.

*And then as instantly as it had started, the horror ends and everything returns to normal.....*

"And if you come near me again, I'll start it up and jam the bloody thing in so it won't f*cking stop you f*cking hear me!?!?!!!"

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Mrmao is thrown several feet from the start of his and castle. As he got up again he panicked as he saw the tower he had meticulously built gone. Then Mrmao noticed the searing pain allover his body. He looked down; he was bleeding from a multitude of puncture wounds. Already there was a sizeable pool of blood. Judging by its size Mrmao decided he had about en seconds until he bled out.
Oh well might as well make the best of it
Mrmao then sat down on the ground again; he started rocking back and forth singing the itsy bitsy spider. A few seconds into the song everything started to go hazy then he he passed out and finished bleeding. Instead of dieing like he should have he felt the distinct pain of his soul be yanked back down to earth.

The next thing he knew Mrmao was back in the arena just after the Ipod commercial. However he did hear the threat by Hewitt.

Mrmao turned toward Hewitt, "Surely it is not as bad a Barney the purple dinosaur, take this." With that Mrmao hurls a small purple dinosaur at Hewitt. As it hits the ground it turns into a seven foot tall purple dinosaur.

"That’s not very nice Mr. Hewitt," the Dinosaur says, "I think you need a song."

Barney begins, "I love you, you love me,"
Mrmao has by now put earplugs on, and was smiling evilly. The earth starts to shake as nearly a thousand preschoolers flood the stadium, singing along with Barney.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Heiro respawns.

Really, an arena full of kids was a surpirse even to him. The well knomn detestable song of Barney is known in the multiverse, even used as a weapon in crudely organised combat aren...
...God damn it.

Heiro takes out his sound proofing.
And by that he takes out a large calibre colt .45 and fires once next to each one of his ears. A moment later and the desperate noise of children and barney near enough vanishes. As does Heiro's vision. He staggers forward into the parting mass, his own ears streaming with blood, his vision swimming in horrendous balance lacking sweeps.

Pulling the trigger, he fires at the dinosaur. Unfortunately he hits 4 small children.
Reloading, he continues his onslaught. Unfortunately the only the later shots had any accuracy; and by then it was too late. Barney was already hugging him.

With his remaining free hand, he swings his sword from it's sheath and stabs the dinosaur. However, it's grip refuses to break and his ribs crack one by one under the pressure of it's grip. With a second stab it yields however, recoiling barely a yard before Heiro decapitates it with a clean sweep.
He moves to say:
"Thank god"
What actually came out was more like:
"Thant Good"

Turning to mrmao, he raises his colt .45 and fires a round experimentally, hoping for some success, his vision still a mess.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Heiro pulled the trigger on his .45. The bullet flew from the gun with pretty good accuracy for a deaf and blind man, but not good enough. The bullet clipped mrmao's shoulder pain shot through his body, and he went down. The preschoolers had gotten out of the way however at this point the shock of the death of their Satanic God spurned them to revenge against his murderer. The horde of preschoolers surged toward Hiero but not before trampling mrmao under a seething mass of cute. The last thing heard was, "Oh God the Irony of being crushed by a bunch of Pygmies.”

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Fluffie and FluffTooDeeToo tap dance. Furiously. Furiously to the beat in their own heads. The world had gone mad, and so had they. This just wasn't normal anymore, magneta purple dinosaur schoolkids songs. Were his ears bleeding? Oh God, oh God, they were. Keeping his lips tightly together after having both thought the same, Fluffie and F2D2 increase the speed they're tap dancing with.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Nakartai pulls himself up off the floor...

...and promptly gets crushed under the hoard of preschoolers stampeding enraged across the arena.

"Not a good day at all really."

He falls into unconciousness...

...and back into conciousness again.

He steped out the respawner. Something was different, there was someone else in his head, it was talking to him, no, they were talking to him.

He tried to set his mind on one of the people in the arena, well not really a person, a big dragon thing, at least thats what the voices said. Frustrated he began to advance towards Hewitt, the voices advanced as well.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

*Before the Purple harbringer of doom (TM) can begin it's horrible wailing song of death, Hewitt presses play again on his iPod and cranks it up to full volume. The heavy bass nearly deafens him, but at least he is unable to hear Barney's catawalling.*

*Then, the preschoolers come.*

Oh crap!

*Hewitt is barely able to feet as the kindy-kids flood the stadium. Chaos now, truely rains in the combat arena now. Hewitt can do all but watch as many things happen at once. Nakartai is the first casualty, taking the full brunt of the onrush resulting in him being crushed under thousands of size six Clarks shoes. Fluffie and his mirror, seemed to have been driven insane by his commerial attack but this as somehow rendered them immune to the song of Barney... although now that he looks closer there appears to be a strange red substance leaking from the fluff's ears. And then, there was Heiro. One minute he's standing still contemplating, the next he pulls out a colt revolver and starts shooting wildly into the crowd of preschoolers now surrounding Barney. A number of kindy-kids fall before he manages to actually hit the purple menace and by then it is too late... Heiro is enveloped by the hug of Barney. Hewitt can just imagine how painful it must be for Heiro as he stabs at the purple dinosaur repeatly whilst caught in the devilish hug, however in the end it seems even Barney is mortal. The sword thrusts enough to drive him back for the follow up decapitation...*

*Hewitt has never been so glad to see a competitor succeed. Ever.*

"Thank god that's over."

*But as Hewitt turns back down the music so as to recommence the fight something seems amiss... He looks around at all the preschoolers - now howling uncontrollably due to both the death of their idol and some of their fellows - and he actually feels something...*

This isn't right.

*Hewitt doesn't know if some of Barney's foul essence has gotten to him, or if the iPod commerical screwed his head up as well but Hewitt simply cannot allow these kids to remain in danger. Not noticing a revived Nakartai now advancing towards him, Hewitt calls out to the massed crowd of kindy-kids and tries to placitate them.*

"Shh! Hey! Hey! It's ok..."

Preschoolers: *Cries louder.*

"God damn it.... hmm..."

*Hewitt needed to their attention somehow. Looking around at the stadium Hewitt spots a video screen, presently black due to the arena having now power what-so-ever.... but he could fix that.*

*Hewitt fiddles with his iPod and switches it to communicate.*

Hewitt:"Fleet, this is Hewitt. I need a class B fusion reaction and a technical team delivered to the arena ASAP."

Fleet Command:"Roger that commander. I'll have a shuttle make a drop near your location. It should arrive in a few minutes."

Hewitt:"Roger that fleet. Please hurry, Hewitt out."

*Hewitt switches his iPod back to player mode.*

And now we wait...

flapjack is infamous around these parts
Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

*Flapjack looked down at the construction that had just appeared, his ship sensors confirmed that it had in fact appeared out of nowhere, on the planet below, several other ships had moved into orbit and his battlecruiser oblivity was holding a rather low orbit with its cloaking and stealth systems at maximum efficiency*

Nav officer: "Approaching drop position, you're still sure you want to take the 'bot sir?"

Flapjack: "Absolutely, move it into drop position, I'm on my way. Captain, you have the bridge."

*With that, Flapjack stepped into a small elevator at the back of the bridge, which quickly ferried him down 3 decks, where he got into the monorail which in its turn carried him 3/4th of the way to the back of the ship. Quickly hopping into the pilot pod of his transport, which was then moved into the 'bot. A few moments later his nerve link activated and he had control of the completely immobilized robot*

speaker: "Standby for drop in 3, 2, 1, LAUNCH!"

*Immediatly Flapjack could feel the soft thump of the release mechanism pushing him out of the battlecruiser's launchbay, which remained cloaked as he appeared from it. He could only hope the 'bot's power signature, almost 0 at the moment, would attract attention. Beneath, the ground sped on, he was still after all moving at several kilometers per second and dropping a few hundred meters per second. The start of reentry was quite easy to spot, turning the massive 'bot into a huge ball of flame, the armor plating expanding and the heat buffers straining to absorb the resultant heat. 3 seconds later the retros activated, further reducing the 'bots speed, heat levels started dropping as the 'bot's speed dropped below 300m/s*

*Looking down past the red glow of his heatsinks, Flapjack could now make out a small concrete circle, which was his target. Immediatly the 'bot finally powered up completely, the computer quickly calculating his balistic trajectory and adjusting it with the retros as well as further reducing speed, an alti-meter popping into view besides him, the numbers still unreadable from his rapid decent. Time seemed to slow down as the circle grew exceedingly fast, the retros suddenly kicking in at full thrust again to keep the 'bot from breaking up on impact. After what seemed like an eternity, the 'bot finally smacked into the ground, dropping to its knees immediatly, then stopping completely, its heatsinks still glowing red-hot*

*Almost another minute later, a hatch on the back of the 'bot popped open and Flapjack pulled himself out, followed shortly by pulling an assault rifle out of the hatch as well*

"Goddamnit, can't start the reactor till you're on the ground is 1 thing, but when the batteries run out just before you hit the ground, how am I to start the damned reactor?"

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

Nakartai came up behind the obviously mentally damaged hewitt and began swiping at hewitt's head with his bladed staff...

...what should have proved fatal turned out the complete oposit.

Each time he swung the voices would scream. they seemed hell bent on throwing off his aim.

Deciding to resort to other means Nakartai began to draw in his power...

...the voices screamed even louder.

Nakartai was ripped to shreds by the uncontrolled energy, and a shockwave of immense size shot outwards, sending preschoolers and competitors alike flying.

Poor Hewitt was right by the center of the blast.
The settling of the dustcloud would see the result.

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

*AcidK checked his equipment before making a dramatic and senseless entrance into the Ultimate Combat Arena. He checked his K5 Katana, noticing the rust forming due to a long period unuse. He checked his FIDO units he had planned to use, noticing that they were also rusting and falling apart. AcidK sighed and clenched his gaunleted right arm in slight anger, irritated that his once emaculate and deadly weapons are now something hardly looked at, really making them merely decoration on himself.*

*AcidK chose his entrance wisely, leaping down from a wall and landing with an incredible thud on the ground, throwing dust and random debris in all directions. AcidK regretted this movement automatically as he stood up, the clicks and grinding of unhealthy bones was heard and the stiffness in his body was a clear sign that his back would have been in pain, if AcidK was actually a live person.*

"Why is it that my body chooses this exact moment to break down on me?"

*With this AcidK noticed that a FIDO had activated itself, falling from his belt and hitting the floor with a metallic chunk. AcidK held his breath as the 'city killer' explosive hit the floor, sighing in releif as it did not go off.*

"Well, some luck at..."

*With that the FIDO exploded, making AcidK a rather interesting wall decoration within seconds.*

Re: The Ultimate Combat Arena

So, Shadow dies. (For thread following simplicity, you understand)

So, Shadow respawns.

And waits.
