The Arena!!!

*Fenris respawns and goes to take a relaxing break and sits down at the arena wall.

*Slowly respawning, as if it is something he has never done before, Gizmo returns to the fray. Drawing his electric-shock hammer, he launches himself at Haplo's smug little head...*

OOC: So sorry for not posting, but unfortunately, I couldn't get at a computer over the weekend. My bad. En garde, Haplo!

*Haplo looks up from meditation, and see's a fuzzy creature from the Gremlins movies lauching itself towards him. Haplo thinks to himself...

This guy is obviously new to this, so I can't fight him full on, and I can't kill him outright...

*Haplo stands up calmly, and backhands the flying Gizmo across the arena, sending him crashing into the far wall.

The more skill that you show Gizmo, the better the fight will be. Show enough skill, and I'll show you some of what I can really do...

*Lightning Crackles off of Haplo's sword, and Wolf, knowing that it's master needs no help, lays down and goes to sleep.

*Fenris stands up and starts walking around then decided to transform into Crinos form for no reason and continues to walk around.

ANNOUNCER 1: Ow! Haplo delivers a punishing blow to Gizmo, sending the little guy flying. But anyway, Bob, we have ourselves a guest!

ANNOUNCER 2: That's right, Jim. Here we have with us Grand Lord Penguin, a new Arena Fighter. Now, I understand you have some previous experience?

GLP: Yeah. I participated in an unoffcial match with Ghetto Goose a while back on the Thread of a Billion Posts. It ended in a tie.

ANNOUNCER 1: Wow, THE Ghetto Goose? I wish I coulda seen that...Anyway, why aren't you down there fighting?

GLP: Oh, I'm waiting for Haplo to deal with Gizmo. See, Haplo and I have avatars that are rivals. When I joined up, I thought it'd be cool to have a fight, just for completeness.

ANNOUNCER 2: Well, that'll prove to be interesting! We'll be watching from our nice, safe, underground bunker. What? Did you really think we'd be up there? That's suicide!

GLP: Well, I have to gather some more animations for my avatar...Erm, where's the elevator out of here?

ANNOUNCER 1: Oh, uh, it broke. There are stairs...if you've got a few hours to kill. We're almost a mile underground.

::GLP sighs and walks towards the door marked STAIRS in bold writing::

*Gizmo pulls himself out of the wall, popping his shoulder back into place.* "Oooo, that one hurt. Time for the big guns now." With that he summons his new friend Duo to help out.

OOC: Duo doesn't seem to want to play, but assume there's a gigantic Gundam standing in the arena right now, OK? HOW DO I STICK A GIF INTO THE POST!?!

*Fenris sees the huge mechanical thing in the middle of the arena.

"That thing stinks of the Wyrm. It must be destroyed!"

*Fenris does a mighty leap and lands on top the the huge thing and starts to contemplate on how best to destroy it once and for all, further helping in the battle against the Wyrm spawn.

Haplo · Post by **Haplo** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 6:32 am

*Haplo looks at the Robot, then rushes forwards, cutting it's legs out from under it...it crashes into the floor and it's power dies.

There is only one God of Death here! Fight me using your own strength!

TheReaper · Post by **TheReaper** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 6:34 am

*Fenris goes into frenzy from the overpowering Wyrm stench and rips the robot to pieces with his claws and spear.

"Die foul Wyrm spawn!!!!!"

About half way up the stairs out of the Arena Underground...

::GLP pauses::

GLP: Hey...wait a minute...I came down using the elevator!

::The Arena and several miles around it are rocked by concussions from a massive robot exploding on the Arena floor. There is a loud crash and some screaming::

GLP: What the...?

::GLP jumps back down the stairs into the Announcer's Room. The back wall has been blown out, the remains of an elevator glinting out amongst the rubble::

GLP: You DID have an elevator!

ANNOUNCER 1: Er...it's broken.

GLP: Yeah, NOW it is! You must think your real funny.

ANNOUNCER 1: Well, you have to admit, we did fool...this isn't helping me, is it?

::GLP's eyes narrow::

GLP: No.

::There is a lighting fast movement as GLP draws his sword, and in the process, cuts Jim (aka ANNOUNCER 1) into two distinct pieces. GLP sheathes his sword::

GLP: I don't like being messed with, got it?

::ANNOUNCER 2 nods slowly::

::GLP sighs and starts back toward the stairs::

ANNOUCER 2 (into a wall reciever): Yeah, send a clear up crew down to the Announcer room. Oh, and bring the next Announcer down.

"Duo! Nooooooooo! Can't win, can I? You'll just keep smacking me back into the wall every time I post back in. Ah well. If I'm goin' down I'm taking you with me! Rahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
*Gizmo draws a gigantic Buster Sword from it's invisible sheath on his back and proceeds to slice Haplo into teensy tiny pieces of meat.*
"Blood for the Blood God!!"
OOC: Thanks Penguin. I'll remember that.

*Haplo quickly respawns, and backhands Gizmo against another wall...

I won't die by your powerplays, I meant for you to fight me with skill, not power. Now Fight Me dammit!

Grand Lord Penguin · Post by **Grand Lord Penguin** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 10:49 am

Towards the top of the stairs...

::GLP dashes up the last few flights of stairs and pushes open the door. He steps out into the forever empty stands (people could get hurt, you know), and glances at Gizmo powergaming Haplo to death. By the time Haplo respawns, GLP is no longer there::

::There is a ultra quick shimmer of movement behind Gizmo. GLP appears several feet to the left of Gizmo, his sword drawn and about neck level with Gizmo. Gizmo's head slides off his shoulders, as GLP sheathes his sword assumes his fighting stance*::

Now, it's just you and me Haplo. Let's get this started!

::GLP holds out an arm, pointed at Haplo. A snake made of flame curls around his arm and hisses before launching itself at Haplo::

(OOC: I'm basing all my moves off of Hanzo attacks from Samurai Shodown, FYI.)

(OOC: *Anyone see the irony?)

Haplo · Post by **Haplo** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 10:55 am

(OOC: Fine. I will base my moves off of Galford)

*Haplo looks over to see Gizmo die...

Ha, serves him right for powerplaying in his first match, in the third post! Now Wolf!

*Lightning crackles off of Haplo's body as he dissapears, and the dog lunges forward....

Grand Lord Penguin · Post by **Grand Lord Penguin** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 11:00 am

(OOC: I thought the dog's name was Poppy...?)

::The snake flies through the space that Haplo once occupied and crashed into the wall, exploding on contact and creating a sizable hole in it::

Hmph, sending your mutt to attack me...

::GLP kicks Wolf out of the air as it is about to latch on to his throat::

Now, where did you get to...?

Haplo · Post by **Haplo** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 11:04 am

*Haplo reappears above GLP, slashing downwards in his path...GLP moves quickly, but not in time to be cut severly in his arm....meanwhile Wolf flips in air and lands behind Haplo, growling....

C'mon! You can't beat me!

(OOC: It is, but my dog's name is Wolf...)

Grand Lord Penguin · Post by **Grand Lord Penguin** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 11:08 am

(OOC: Oh. And I have a .gif of Hanzo gripping his arm, but I'm on my dad's computer, and sadly, I forgot to send myself the text file where I keep all my .gif URLs)

'Tis only a flesh wound!

::GLP tosses a shuriken at Haplo, and then...starts to hover, with several mirror images beisde him::

Now, which one am I?

Haplo · Post by **Haplo** » Tue Jul 23, 2002 11:16 am

That's easy! You are right behind me!

*Haplo turns and punches, which GLP blocks easily...meanwhile wolf is growing more angry by the second...

Wolf! Megadogstrikeattack gogogo!

*Wolf unleashes his pent up fury in one massive combo attack against GLP's back, ending in a uppercut that sends GLP into the air...GLP reverses in the air and counterattacks...
