what your obsession with stabbing peoples groin reaper?

a gauss rifle shot hits the rune sword, knocking it out of reapers hands

TheReaper · Post by **TheReaper** » Mon May 13, 2002 1:00 am

I just like inflicting the most amount of pain possible and also I'm very evil in that way almost twisted you might say :twisted:!

*Reaper pulls out his gauss rifle and fires a perfectly aimed shot down the barrel of Umpa's rifle, causing it to explode. Reaper then leaps to the rune sword, rolls and picks it up mid-roll. Reaper looks at the starteled Umpa with a smoking gun handle in his hand. Reaper points the rune sword at Umpa and holds the light sword by his side. Reaper fires a shard of fiery ice (it is magically possible!) across the arena, directed at Umpa. The shard hits it's intended target with frightening accuracy. The shard stops short of piercing Umpa's heart, the point is just touching the heart. Reaper controls the shard. Umpa yells at him "Go on, tickle my heart you sick bastard." Reaper looks at him curiously.

"Whoever said anything about tickling your heart? I'm just going to kill you."

*Reaper ducks behind a rock and sends a message to the shard, the shard sticking out of Umpa's chest explodes, killing him and sending sharp icy shrapnel with flames flying about the arena. Reaper appears from behind the rock with a smirk on his face.

"Told you, I don't go for torture, just extreme pain (hence the groin attacks) and death in the messiest way possible :twisted:!"

The clouds overhead gathered, as if something was about to happen.
Grim lightning started flashing, causing some of the minor contestants to
look heavenwards with fear. And with good reason...

*Reaper turns as a scream erupts from somewhere behind him*

TR: "What the...."

*The victim gurgles as blod spurts from his throat, his chest, his stomach,
and just about everywhere else. It falls limp to the ground.*

"You should always watch your back, didn't you know that?"

*With great strength and agility, Reaper swings his sword bathed in blood
backwards, sure to hit the intruder.... and hits nothing*

"You should really learn to control your anger. It becomes your weakness,
and I exploit it.*

*Again, Reaper lungs out with fang and claw only to catch vapor*

"You can't defeat me wolf-boy."

*A longsword makes its way down towards Reapers head, but the agility
of the werewolf is barely enough to narrowly avoid the slash*

"You're quick... but I WILL claim my kill."

*Another swipe from a longsword appears out of nowhere, and the
runesword is swiped from Reapers hand, and thrown to the ground far away from him*

"Run wolf-boy."

*A dark shape takes form, and soon a high lanky pale man is in front of him, with his dark cowl over his face. He pulls his cowl back and a pale face with a raven black goatee and short cropped black hair appears.
Umpa charges at the infidel, but receives a quick slash which opens his
throat*

"Now you know why my name is Smiley."

*A grand smile is displayed on the neck of Umpa, as a red line appears from ear to ear.*

"Run, my prey..."

Stainless's limp body layed on the ground. His shatterd body lay still in the Elemental armour, and he showed no signs of movement.

Then there was a flash from the visor. A bright like beamed out of the visor and into the heavens. No-one had any idea what it was. Was it a beacon? A weapon of mass destruction? Or was it a speacky move wich would do sweet bugger all? No-one knew....except Stainless....

Then the worm-hole appeared. The bright blue-red iris opened high above the Arena. A rumbled approached the Arena, and a hidden shadow engulfed the floor and combatants. The worm-hole then enlarged 50-fold. It's massive roundness beckonning everyone's attention.

Then the massive warship hurtled though silently. Then another, and another, and another. The 4 ships were easily 100 times bigger then the Arena, their firepower evident.

The Worm-hole then shrunk in size, and soon disappeared, but not before another 10 tiny ones appeared around the previous one. Tens of Thousands of Millions of small fighter craft sped into the twilight sky, leaving the entire Arena in darkness, the only light coming from Stainless's visor light.

Smily quickly formed next Stainless's body and slammed his longsword upon the visor cracking it, and stopping the light, but still the small fighters came through.

"Well, whatta know, it was just a specky thing that did sweet bugger all" murmerd Smily as he stared up at the immense fleet of ships.

Smily glanced back to where Stainless's corpse used to be, but it was gone. He stared glummly back into the sky and say the fire from Stainless's jump jets. Soon he was amongst the fighter craft, and invisble.

Meanwhile on board one of the 4 command ships. Stainless stood on the bridge, His firm cloak rapped around him. His sword shimmering in it's hilt and his sheild clasped to his back. His blaster firmly clipped into it's holster. On board the ship around him, crews worked around him, activating modifyed Holtzman sheilds, which somehow negated the Holzman effect.

Stainless looked at the payload readouts. and danced his fingers over the illuminated console. A sharp gruff voice came over Stainless's helmet comlink

"Roger that, Stainless! All bombers....we are go for carpet bombing. Commece manuver pattern alpha delta 5. Fighter wing 231, move into escort position."

The 50 bombers changed course from the main fleet and lined themselves up for their bombing run. Another 50 small fighters with 231 painted clearly on their sides, also diverged from the fleet and followed closly with the bombers, some in front, behind, beside, above and below.

Again the voice could be heard over Stainless's comlink...
"231 fighters, activate Phalanx shields...NOW!"

The nose of the fighters shimmered and a small beam of light linked to each other, forming an impentratable barrier.

The fighters let loose with their chain guns and rockets, crumbling the walls over exits and dispossing of NPCs. The bomber's hulls cracked and bombay doors opend, reveally hundreds of small bombs. They pulled up at the last moment before hitting the wall and began their bombing run. The screams could be heard clearly thought Stainless's comlink (for his amusment) as everyone was engulfed in fire.

Follower respawns on the Arena, full of fire and tries to understand what a hell is happening:

"WOW, what is it - Is it third Star War or what? (Er, Stainless, Your style is excellent, but don't you think that this is TOO much. Can you leave at least one alive enemy to poor Follower) What did I miss? Oh, doesn't matter - old, good blackhole will clean all that mess..." - using his mystical Jedai power he summons huge Blackhole which consumes everything, what remained alive after the great fire...

"So, what now?!" - Follower is standing among empty Arena. There is no even bodies of enemies left - "Damned, I knew that I should summon great Space dragons..." - mutters Follower, slowly coming to the exit from Arena

The chainguns roared from above and Arch looked up in distaste. Stainless leave TDZK out of this. Still i have to admire that paint work,
Is destoyed by the chaing guns.

"Finally got my body back" he mutters as he respawns.

*exits rest room*

"Hi, everyone, did I miss anything? Some so-and-so destroyed the medical center just after I respawned. What is that roaring noise?"

*looks up*

"AIEEEE!!!" 8O

*opens fire on Stainless' fleet(biggest first) with a Government Paperwork Launcher, attempting to bury his ships in paperwork or clog air intakes and other openings such as bomb bays*

"HaHaHa! Due to the nature of governments everywhere, my GPL has infinite ammo! You shall suffer the Death of a Thousand Cuts! Paper Cuts, that is."

Heh...it's hard enough for me to resist putting on my Boba Fett helmet when playing it

It wasn't only TDZK inspired either. Dune, & Babylon 5 are also a little bit of inspiration.

And you're lucky I didn't finish it off, Follower, I still have soemthing planned....

And I wrote that much, cause I was bored and had to make a dashing comback after being fraged.

*Reaper looks around the arena just before the bombs commence dropping. Reaper see his rune sword and dives for it but he is too late. Smiley cuts Reaper's head off as he is in mid-air. Reaper respawns only to find his rune sword on the floor and Smiley in between him and his sword. Reaper wills the rune sword to him and it comes, point first, going through Smiley's rib cage, piercing a lung. The sword hurtles toward Reaper but Reaper moves to the left and the sword goes past, Reaper grabs the handle of the mighty sword and draws his light sword.

"I knew killing Stainless would be a big mistake."

*Reaper thinks about what he can do and thinks that he will be fierce and attack Smiley. Reaper is fully aware of Smiley's power but it seems Smiley is completely unaware of Reaper's true power. Reaper walks into view of Smiley. Smiley sees him "back for more, eh?" Reaper just looks at him. A glow of fiery light can be seen emmiting from Reaper's right hand in which he holds the rune sword. Smiley looks confused, he was expecting Reaper to lash out in anger. Reaper points the sword at Smiley and a bolt of fire shoots out of the blade towards Smiley. Smiley is hit by the firebolt, which knocks him back across the arena.

"Never mess with someone who commands the powers of magic and who has the power to kill people on the spot."

Smiley · Post by **Smiley** » Tue May 14, 2002 12:29 am

"Never mess with someone who commands the powers of magic and who has the power to kill people on the spot."

*Smiley is tossed across the arena from the incredibly fast(It had to be) firebolt*

"Ungh.... So true.... Infidel!"

*The scorched spot on Smiley's chest is suddenly all that remains in
midair, it falls to the ground*

"But you have yet to taste true magic. Subtle magic of the assasin."

*Reaper, expecting an attack cleverly diverts Smiley's attack as it
appears from midair*

"Patience... Good."

*The deft counter though, was his unbecomming as the sword slipped back
into the nothingness, and appeared to Reapers right, cutting his hand
off by the wrist*

"I will leave you tortured... bleeding to death. I shall enjoy your suffering."

Umpa · Post by **Umpa** » Tue May 14, 2002 2:05 am

*respawns*

Umpa taunts Stainless " You might have those big ships but you cannot defeat me in HtH combat, foght like a man and dont use weapons. especially the Blaster Of Editing"

TheReaper · Post by **TheReaper** » Tue May 14, 2002 2:41 am

*Reaper grabs his wrist to slow down the bleeding. Reaper tries his best to search though his carryanything (tm) pouch for something to heal the wound and stop the bleeding without the use of his hands. Reaper finds a selection of medicines and uses them on his wrist, this stops the bleeding. Reaper picks up his rune sword and sheathes it. Reaper pulls out his light sword and wields it perfectly with his left hand. He looks towards Smiley.

"Curse you Smiley, that hurt a lot! (Pulls out light sword) Unluckily for you, I happen to be ambi-dexterious (can use both hands equally)!"

*Reaper summons up more magic and casts an ice shard at Smiley. Smiley easily dodges the blast but it had achieved it's goal, to distract Smiley. He looked around and saw that Reaper had gone. Suddenly Smiley felt extreme pain from his chest. He looked down to see the end of a light sword blade sticking out of his chest, he turns round to see Reaper holding it, smiling evilly :twisted:.

"Seems you under-estimated me, that shall be your downfall!"

*Reaper brings the light sword up, cleaving Smiley on half from the chest up. The legs still have strength and manage to keep Smiley standing even after he has died. Smiley is now a standing corpse who has his lungs further apart from each other than is healthy.

Smiley · Post by **Smiley** » Tue May 14, 2002 2:52 am

A whisper comes from behind Reaper

"And don't underestimate me."

*As the longsword punches through the neck of the wolf-boy, Reaper
widen his eyes in a big "HOW?" as blood spatters out of his mouth*

"Do you truly think that I would fall for such an easy move when I had
the time during your little first-aid to slice you up? Or when you picked up
your sword? Or when you were sheathing it, and getting your lightsaber
ready? Or when you were casting a spell? I could've defeated
five proffesional assasins trained in melee combat, before the shard
would've ever come near me! Do NOT underestimate my assasin
skills."

*The remains of the dead body in front of Reaper evaporate,
and Umpa is suddenly respawned*

Umpa: "You BITCH! You tied me up, didn't you! And put me up in that
gear!"

*As Smiley smirks, he pulls his sword to himself and draws his cloak
around himself, dissapearing out of sight. Again*

(Ambidexterity is when you can use both hands for tasks, TRUE
ambidexterity is when you have mastered the art of wielding both
hands superbly. Don't ask my why it's named like that, it's not my
idea. ^_^)

TheReaper · Post by **TheReaper** » Tue May 14, 2002 3:03 am

(Yeah I meant ambidexterity, I just got my words in a mucking fuddle!)

*Reaper respawns and looks towards Smiley with a look of revenge in his eyes. Then Reaper takes a moment to calm down, remebering that anger clouds the vision. Totally clam, Reaper draws his gauss rifle and fires several shots at Smiley, using his werewolf speed, Reaper puts the gauss rifle away and draws his two swords and activates the light sword.

"I'll get you yet, just you see! It's time for you to see some of the hidden talents of me and my rune sword!"

*Reaper swings his rune sword, tracing a symbol in the air, the symbol illuminates and blasts Smiley with all manner of spells and stuff. Reaper takes this time to use the rune sword to cut a hole in the fabric of time and space. Reaper leaps through as it is about to close so no-one can follow him. Smiley, after suffering the effects of the rune's magic looks aroung for Reaper to find him gone again. "Not a second time Reaper!" Smiley swings his sword behind him to find nothing! "What? Cunning Reaper, where are you?" A voice can be heard without a source.

"Over here."

*Smiley loks around to identify the source of the responce in vain. Reaper is nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, Reaper appears in the air above Smiley and points both swords down at their intended victim. Reaper puts a great amount of werewolf strength into the blow. Smiley looks up and sees Reaper, Smiley shoves Umpa into the target area. Reaper comes down on Umpa, completely obliterating him and causing the ground to crack underneath him.

"Damn it. I WILL kill you Smiley!"

Smiley · Post by **Smiley** » Tue May 14, 2002 3:42 am

.....Didn't I say I was invisible.....? at least I didn't get killed this time.....

*Somehow Reaper tore a hole in the ether-space where Smiley was
hiding and made him come out. After Umpa's demise, Smiley
leaps into the air with his longsword. By some magical dweomer
the sword splits into two, and Smiley begins to show Reaper
true ambidexterity*

"You *grunt* like my moves? Eh, wolf-boy?"

*Smiley's incredibly fast attacks keep comming, making the werewolf
take several steps backwards. The ballet of blades are oncomming,
the now impossibly blurs of sword-movement forces the wolf to retreat
with his blades! The lightsaber suddenly strikes through the
offensive, but somehow it fails*

"Your space-age weapons do no harm to me. I am a spirit in the world
of swords and medieval themes. No gun, no laser, no plasma can hurt
me. Only true weapons of justice and good can slay my corporal form."

*The whirl of blades scare the werewolf now. He has never seen such
amazing swordsmanship. He realises that Smiley is merely toying with
him, cutting him several places, placing minor wounds which bleed
all over. Reaper snarls at Smiley, but receives an agonizing slash above
his right corner tooth, making blood ooze down the wolf's teeth and into
its mouth*

"Do you feel it? Are you scared? You should be. Death nears you..
It is about to strike.. a slow, agonizing, pitiful, shameful death Reaper."

*A slash crosses Reapers chest, and a spurt of blood exits.
Reaper throws himself backwards and grasps his wound.
The wolf, stands pitifully as all the stinging cuts forces him to almost
crumble to the ground. For some reason, the proud warrior still
holds fast and charges the dark figure in a suicidal manner*

"You want to die with honor? I grant you that final wish."

*The wolf impales itself on the swords, both, missing the heart, he
grabs te shoulders of the dark man*

"You will die... Smiley... Soon..."

*With that, The dark assasin cuts both blades inwards, and cuts the heart
with the blades*

"...I shall return."

*The assasin sheaths his once again whole blade, and walks into a portal*

".....I... SHALL... return."

*By using the force S_F claims the lightsabre from Reaps belt.*

*He then uses his powers to mind control Umpa into butchering Reap.*

"Haha! The jedi will win!"

TheReaper · Post by **TheReaper** » Tue May 14, 2002 4:54 am

*Reaper respawns an draws his rune sword, he goes for his light sword, it isn't there.

"What? S_F, you bastard, give that back!"

*Reaper rushes at S_F with amazing speed and slices his arm off before S_F can even turn round. Reaper pries the light sword from the severed hand and wields it like a true swordsman. Reaper plunges the light sword into S_F's head and the rune sword into his chest. S_F dies a death most quick for daring to take Reaper's weaponry.

[Reaper turns to see Smiley who has his back to him. Reaper thinks about what Smiley said about the light sword. Reaper throws the rune sword into Smiley's back. It strikes and the power of the strike, coupled with the surprise is enough to knock Smiley off his feet. Reaper uses his magic to wrench the sword from Smiley's back and into his own hands. Reaper puts the light sword away.

"Saving that for the wasteland, gonna make me a new sword in the hub!"]
*Or so Reaper'd like to think. The whole ordeal of Smiley not even being
there, pains Reaper to the point of where he comits suicide.*

I don't know what's wrong with people lately, don't they EVER read my posts through? I am not theeeereeee.
