Duck and Cover

(OOC: ...er...dogs can uppercut?)

::GLP launches himself at the dog, sword held horizontal. Wolf snaps at the blade, but to no avail. The momentum of GLP and the blade cause it to slice through Wolf, starting at the open mouth. The dog falls into two pieces::

That wasn't very fair...

::GLP unleashes a furious sword combination attack. Haplo blocks the majority with practiced ease, but one blow gets through. A superficial cut above one eye, nothing more. A single drop of blood flows into Haplo's eye.::

YOU FOOL!!!

*The arena sky darkens, and power crackles around Haplo in an almost tangible aura...the ground reverberates and shakes in fear from Haplo's fury...all the fighters for miles around guard themselves as Haplo unleashes the fury of a thousand long dead Warriors, devestating the arena...GLP looks up at Haplo, now almost giant-sized in his wrath...

You can fight me with any weapon, any move, any skill, but you NEVER, EVER, TOUCH MY DOG YOU SON OF A....

*Haplo's words are now incomprehesible as his rage explodes in a ferocious blast, blasting what was left of the arena into pieces in a violent white hot explosion....The dog, who cannot die, is standing next to Haplo, looking up with it's eyes, begging him to stop before he destroys the entire planet...

DOG! Dog, thought you were went off on me! Good to see you boy!

*All breathe a collective sigh of relief as Haplo's rage dissapears with the return of the dog...

I know you didn't really mean to hurt my dog, right? Now let's finish the match!

FF enters the arena again after a good holiday, starting to polish his sword.
as he`s looking around he sees multiple battles and some piece of big junk smoldering in the middle of the fray.
FF sighs and lights up a sigaret and takes a seat on the contenders bench waiting for his turn.
---------------------------------------------
reaper, im back with a vengeance......

Well, it was your fault for getting it involved...

::GLP tires his mirror image trick again. Haplo, trying to use the same trick again, punches the image in back of him. It puffs away into nothingness...

GLP appears behind and to the right of Haplo, delivering a sharp kick to the inside of his knee. He falls to his knees, and while doing so, attacks where GLP should have been...

The mirror images continue to rotate and hover around Haplo::

(OOC: The megastrikedog is Galford's desperation move from Samurai Spirits, and it's supposed to end in you getting powerbombed into the floor, by the dog, and your sword gets broken. I thought I was being more than fair by giving you a chance to continue on with the match, I actually gave you the upperhand.)

My fault?!? How can you, trying to kill my dog possibly be my fault!?!

*Haplo fires a plasma sword at one image, and watches as it passes through it..he turns to the other and sweeps it's legs, and watches GLP hit the floor. Haplo draws his sword, and levels at GLP's head, but does not attack...

Attacking an animal like my dog with a weapon?!? Where is your honor?

*Fenris finishes with the Wyrm tainted robot and return to his Homid form and sits back down at the arena wall.

(OOC: Sorry for making you wait so long, Reap. My POS internet connection has barely been working for the past several days. )

SM grabs a parachute and leaps out of the plane.

"Nice try, Reap, but.... Oh shit!"

SM keeps tugging at the rip cord, and nothing happens. He fumbles around even more, trying to find the back up chute.

"Meh.... Come on.... Ergh..."

He lets out a sigh of relief as he finds the cord and pulls it. The chute comes out of the pack.... several seconds too late. SM meets with the ground with a deafening thud. He stays motionless for several seconds, than raises his hand as a crowd of mortals appears around him.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Now, if you will excuse me, I am off to go find the man who fired that blast at my plane. And right when I was banging up that flight attendant... Geez, some people, I tell ya...."

SM stumbles to his feet and wanders off to find the resourceful Reaper, knocking back a few on the way, until he sees Reap reclining on a pool chair.

"Now.... you.... will... die!"

Honor? You ordered your dog to attack me from behind! Where's the honor in that?! Can't you fight me alone?

::GLP launches a flame snake at Haplo, catching him full in the face. The blast sends him flying backwards. There is a clatter of stone as the Arena's outer walls begin to rebuild themselves::

Tch...don't talk to me about honor...

::GLP dashes at blinding speeds towards Haplo...and passes him. GLP holds up his right hand, wreathed in flame, and when he clenches it into a fist...

...Haplo falls to the ground (again) as he is rocked from internal explosions, the blasts shattering bone and incinerating organs. Haplo is completely consumed by a raging maelstorm of energy that not even GLP understands...

...And then it ends. There is no trace of Haplo aside from a massive crater and his dog, who was tossed aside in the maelstorm, but is largely unhurt. GLP falls backwards as he loses consciousness...

(OOC: Quite alright.)

*Reaper sees S_M standing next to him.

"You don't know when to give up do you?"

*Reaper swings round and kicks S_M into the jungle and casts a fireball into it to create a glowing inferno around S_M. Reaper pulls out his sword and waits for S_M to arrive again.

"Where is everyone? It seems like the Great Old Ones don't come here anymore. "

*casually leans on poleaxe*

Well, all of them apart from Stainless have left and Stainless doesn't seem to post here anymore. Someone should PM him and ask him to make a return to lighten things up.

::GLP wakes up to the sounds of the Arena. People fighting, bleeding, respawning, etc. He stumbles over to the entrance of the Arena Underground and down the stairs::

GLP (to a passing security guard): I'm gonna be in here.

::GLP points to a thick steel door::

GLP: I'm not to be disturbed, okay?

SECURITY GUARD: Yessir!

GLP: Post a security detail or something. I do not want to be bothered. With anything.

::GLP opens the door, enters the room, and closes the door behind him, locking it. The room is decorated in a very fuedal Japanese style, comeplete with koi pond and sand garden. He sits down on a bamboo mat and begins to meditate::

(OOC: What this means is that I will be gone for about five diurnal/nocturnal cycles. Stupid beach. Stupid vacation.)[/i]

FF still waiting on bench for a challenger :puppydogeyes:

(OOC: Don't worry, FF. One of the fights will be over soon enough)

SM flies out of the burning forest and punches Reap in the face, sending him to the ground.

"I have more evil power than you could ever imagine! Now die!"

He floats quickly over to Reap and lets loose a bevy of Fists of Fury (TM).

"FF, may I have this dance?"

*Assumes guard position with poleaxe*

*Reaper rolls out of the way of S_M's FOF's and gets to his feet. He puts away his sword.

"You pitiful worm, you want hand to hand? I'll show you hand to hand!"

*Reaper runs at S_M and runs up him (see the Matrix) but instead of kicking him in the face, Reaper puts his foot on S_M's face and backflips off him, causing awesome amounts of damage. S_M gets up to see Reaper standing quite clamly waiting.

"Was that supposed to tickle?"

SM leaps at Reap with a flying sidekick, which is blocked. SM lands on the ground, with Reap to his side. Spinning around, he punches Reap in the jaw, ducks under a punch from Reap, steps behind him and throws a hook kick at the back of Reap's head.

*Reaper dodges the hook kick and turns round.

"What was that? An exhibition?"

*Reaper pulls off a cresent kick followed by a sweep kick at S_M.

*Sits back against the cracked and somewhat bloodstained wall* "Hmmm. Things I have learned recently... Walls hurt. Powerplaying gets me killed. Summoning giant mecha robots of doom gets both me and Duo killed. getting pretentious and assaluting people without actually mentioning hitting them gets me killed. What won't get me killed? Hmmm, I wonder..."*Clones himself*" En garde, Shade of myself!" *Prepares to enter into combat with himself *
OOC: Hah! I can't get killed NOW!

*Fenris looks at Gizmo fighting himself.

"What an idiot. Someone kill him for being an idiot "

(OOC: Don't worry, we won't.)
