Red: "Not bad, not bad..."

Red cracked his knuckles with resolve... What had Origin done? There was a sharp, pointy thing coming toward him that time. This time it was just a huge sack of meat. He was small, the troll was big, and he wasn't too sure he could even match its strength.

Janus had warned them all that the fighters they faced would be extremely skilled, not like the hokey supervillains they had faced before. These were real warriors, not just moonlighters with a mean streak. Red was confident then, of course. Grey had done well, Blue had done amazingly. But this, now this was true fear. Was he unwise for his arrogance? Possibly. Would he pay? His wounds showed him that perhaps he already had. But still, the troll...


Blue: "Evan! Setting 11! Turn it on!"

-----------------------------------------

Blue... Blue had designed Red's suit to look like an average pinstriped piece of clothing, but the man was a technological genius, using special ultrafine fiber technology to give it incredible strength amplification abilities. Naturally, it had a limit, all technology did. But in the latest software upgrade Red had recieved, Blue claimed he had discovered something interesting in relation to the suit's level of power.

Blue: "Evan, your suit... I was performing several stress tests with it and discovered a rather interesting factor..."

Red: "What? Is it bad?"

Blue: "It depends. Do you remember when you were complaining about your muscles being sore after using it once in a while?"

Red: "Yeah, it almost felt as though the suit was working my body harder than it normally did."

Blue: "That is what the factor is. The suit does not seem to confer a base level of strength. Instead, it seems as though it multiplies the user's physical abilities based on how strong they already are. Physically, the stronger you get, the stronger the suit gets. There
is a drawback, however..."

Red: "Oh?"

Blue: "Your suit... You are correct in your feelings. At times it will overwork your body, injuring you rather than helping you. I wanted to stop this, so I installed a special setting on it. It is still in development, so do not use it all the time, or it may break and cause your body to rip itself apart from the inside. Your strength will be limited so long as this setting is off, but when it is on, the internal damage will be controlled and you will be able to use as much power as your body can allow. If, however, it shorts out, depending on how much power you are using, you could seriously hurt yourself. I do not advise its use wontonly."

Red: "I see..."

---------------------------

Setting 11! Blue was actually suggesting that Red risk hurting himself severely for the sake of winning? It was madness, no competition was that important...

But was it really for the tournament? Red saw the look on Blue's face... It was one of fear, for certain. If this were in the spirit of competition, he wouldn't be so concerned for Red's health. But at the same time, this was a personal quarrel between him and Shino. Had Blue become afraid for Red's health in spite of his headstrong insistence on fighting? It could be...

Red turned toward Shino, and reached into his suit jacket, his hands fingering a small control panel and turing a dial on it one setting too high!


Red: "Setting 11!!!"

Instantly, Red's muscles bulged, and the suit amplified his strength to an almost immeasurable level. The power, the power! But there was a danger, Red knew full well how much danger he was putting himself in. He had to be careful, or else...

Red dashed at El Gigante, his hands placed outward to catch the troll's shoulder as it tried to bash him! The two collided in a furious battle of strength, and Red held fast, inching backward as the troll kept on charging.


Blue: "Keep going, Evan! You can win!"

Red heard Blue's call... Could he do it?

Red: "Come on!!!!!"

He kept pressing, and finally managed to lift the massive being off the ground, slowly yet surely, ending the charge. The crowd cheered maddeningly as the warrior began to spin around very slowly, a la Super Mario 64. He spun faster and faster, and in about half a minute, he was spinning fast enough to hurl the cave troll toward the middle of the sandy arena and away from him!

Blue: "YES!!!!!!!!!!!"

------------------------------

After all of that insanity, you'd think Janus and Green would have a crapload of heroic inspiration to keep them going. Sadly, they really didn't.

While Red was posturing and keeping his pride in line, Janus was getting drilled heavily in the stomach by a large, beastly woman. Green was being pelted with earth and rock, having been slammed hard against the arena's far wall by the sheer force of the explosion!

Ada finally jumped off Janus, and the earthquake's force hurled Green into the air and far from the torrent of rocks and dirt. He landed roughly on the ground near Janus, and the two of them slowly got up, having taken extremely hard hits...


Janus: "Jason, I think... I think we're... In a little trouble here. Just let me... Catch my breath...."

Green nodded. He still had plenty of fight in him left, no matter how his body felt. If Red could show that much strength, the least the two of them could do is match it. Apparently, there was some heroic inspiration to be seen...

Janus: "Ok... We've got to come back with something. I still have a boatload of ideas. But for now, let's just hold off on them, we need to keep ourselves open to any opportunities that arise."

He took his hammer in hand, and switched opponents again, leaping into the air and somersaulting swiftly, turning himself into a spinning blade of sorts that made its way toward Jarukoth!

"Like this! Buzzsaw!!!"

Green nodded again, taking off toward Ada and reaching her almost instantly, running circles around her at a high speed, stopping only to deliver a quick blow here and there...

Janus: "Two can play at this game! Earthquake!!!"

As Janus came out of his buzzsaw maneuver, he brandished his hammer menacingly, twirling it above his head and slamming it hard down into the sand, causing another rift of earth to rise up and crash into Jarukoth's sand wave, cancelling the attack out.

Janus (thinking): 'He's matching me pretty well, so far... And as long as Evan and Jason are preoccupied, we won't be able to pull off another team attack. I've got to stall for more time!'

Janus leaped into the air and drilled downward, leaving Satchel behind for a few seconds, floating in the air. As the waves of earth reached their climax, Jarukoth most likely saw a hammer spinning straight through the column of sand and right at him. However, if he's paying attention to that, what he won't see is Janus popping out of the ground behind him to deliver a blow to his blind side!

-----------------------------

Noticing the shadowy Shino at the last possible second, Red turns and, with a small splash of blood, realizes his dodge has left him with a gash in his side. Just perfect...

Red (thinking): 'I need to make use of this power... I've been on the defensive for too long!"

Red turns to face his attacker, and drops to the ground a la Janus, punching his fist downward and throwing a splash of sand outward as a diversionary tactic! He then places his other hand on the ground and lifts himself up, spreading his legs and breakdancing into a hard roundhouse kick at Shino, ending with a front handspring as far out of the circle of shadows as he could go, moving closer and closer to Janus's (and Jarukoth's) location...

-----------------------------

Green's difficulties were doing nothing but rise, as he now had to deal with not one, but two Adas. He could certainly run circles around one, but the other would just cover his offensive. Only one thing to do...

Green stood before the two beasts and crossed his arms to his chest, electrifying himself as much as possible and charging up as hard as he could before Ada and Kooriko could reach him, only to release the energy as they made contact, turning himself into a human taser! He'd get scratched up, yeah, but the more important part of that fact was that if they touched him, they'd be in for a bit of a shock.

Posted on 03-18-05 08:09 AM, in Open challenge to Seph: no guidelines, just play! Link
OOC: Alright, This is kinda stupid.

Dracoon, I gotta fault you here first. Seph said this fight was unsanctioned, therefore technically I have no right to attack his ideals. This is what's going to happen if you have no rules, there's going to be a problem all the time, and I was hoping you guys would settle this on your own.

However, you two are starting to sound like children. Seph, if you wanted to win, you might as well have used that attack right from the start. What I see you as having done is baited Dracoon for the last few pages, and then pulled an instant death move just to prove that you can win in a fictious competition that really has no basis in skill whatsoever.

Here's the catch: Dracoon's attack has historical and mythological basis, so there's no reason whatsoever why he can't pull something like this if he's trying to base his character off the Norse god, especially since the real Odin had about that much power in his off hand little finger.

Now I appreciate power-type battling as much as the next person, but you really need to lighten up and realize that this is not a long winded competition for control of the face of the earth. In fact, any fights you start, technically they could be ended before they're started. Wanna know how?

This is how.

*closes*

*And if either of you wants it back open, you can PM me any time. But you'd better be prepared to settle your differences with each other peacefully.*

Ah, and just so that I can give Seph what he wants, and declare a real winner of this fight...

WINNER: Three way tie between User Grey, Sion, and Zerodius!

Far out guess, but.....

The corporation owned the glass company. By carrying out the suit and making the legal processes public, the glass company would end up getting a bad reputation as a company that supplies faulty glass services, which would in turn cause the company that owned them to lose money.

After this, there will be exactly one guess left. I honestly hope it goes to Kario, or else we'll have wasted two pages on this one...

Eh, Acmlm's and Livejournal open automatically every time I open Avant, so I always visit those.

I also visit Maddox at least once a day, and I've been trying to bring myself to visit Slashdot and Something Awful more often.

As for all of you drunkards, I had to work tonight. Didn't get out til an hour and a half late, and even then there were still people at the bar (an hour after we actually close). My only good green shirt got soaked.

But hey, happy St. Patricks day to you all, and who cares if I'm Scottish?

I've got a couple of dream locations, actually.

Firstoff, yeah, the Pokemon world would just rule. Me n' my buddy Jolteon, traveling the land, kickin' ass and takin' names.

I'd also like living in the Eagleland from Earthbound, just because it's like our world, but so much more fucked up that it's awesome.

Hyrule'd be nice, but peahats and stalchildren scare me. I'd lock myself in my room in Kakariko and never come out.

And, of course, there is Animal Crossing, or as I like to call it, "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying". Buy a house, own a house, get a vending machine, put it in the basement. Get another vending machine, put it in the basement. Get a piano, put it in the basement with the vending machines. Keep the piano. Sell a vending machine. Get another vending machine. Find an NES and a game buried underground randomly. Sweet.

Janus sighed as he spotted Ex's posessed body. Neither he nor Grey knew her, which made her presence extremely obvious. Blue's Sunglasses were also quite good at seeing beyond the normal realm of human vision, though it was not Janus who first encountered Ex, but Grey. As if Janus were human, anyway. He glanced sidelong at her...

Janus: "I'm not stupid, you know. I'm also willing to bet at least half the people in this room saw that. There's no need to disguise yourself to us, just don't go too far in execution of your abilities. Gods have rules, too. I should know, I hated them. You know what they are, you're not supposed to interfere directly with the course of life on the planet you preside over. But you've been a god for a while, so I'm guessing you know that full well. Tag along, if you like. We need all the help we can get. Just don't break any rules."

He then noticed MetaKaz, who had just dropped in from the ceiling. How he had found the abandoned Whitelight HQ, Janus had no idea, but it was certainly a feat to be taken into consideration.

"And as for you, Viewtiful Joe, I don't know what the hell you think you're doing here after what you pulled on me six years ago, but if you really want to help, you've got to get one thing straight:"

Janus strode over to the futuristic fighter and looked him straight in his unhelmeted eyes...

"You lay one hand on Schwa, Tux, Star, anyone, and I kick your ass from here to yesterday. That's your warning, I hope you take it seriously."

It's pretty obvious that Janus doesn't like MetaKaz, but in the worst of times, one must sometimes gain help from evil in order to accomplish good. And MetaKaz wasn't even evil...

1: The company was not engaged in any illegal activity, meaning finding something fine-worthy is out.

2: The building not being up to code involves illegality, as well, so that places that one outside the field of possibility.

3: The company was not forced to drop the charges, so the trial was fully able to be carried out.
