An epic battle, sorta(battle royal in an arena)

OOC: I want this battle to last a long time, so dont enter unless you are gonna be here for it, And no killing anybody soon, because i'd like this to be worthwhile and if someone dies right off the bat, then it wont even be fun. I'm allowing more than one person to enter,but don't make it too crowded, if the battle looks spoken for, then stay out.And you may enter with miltiple characters per person, but absolutely
NO ALLIANCES
Like for example, if ravenx entered, he could use every one of those characters, but raven and furiae could not team up like they usually would, they would be fighting each other too. You can engage multiple people or one person at a time(preferably the latter). And watch out for other people during the battle, we are all near each other on the same battlefield, so you might aciidentally run into someone you arent fighting. It is a large circular arena, with energy walls all around it and forming a dome above it, these are not painful to the touch, but can not be broken through. Character is Dang Man-Ci BTW link in sig

BIC: Ahhhhhh, the arena, Dang's favorite place. Why? because here he is god, or as close as makes no difference. This is his element, no outside forces acting inward, to him it is peacful, serene, and packed with fun things to do, and fun bones to break(those of other people). So it was here that he wanted to battle, and he felt it was a waste of all this great space to fight only one person, so he collected all of his saved rupees, and he hosted the largest tournament he could, with a twist. There were no formal matchups, and everybody fought in the same place at the same time, like a free for all. Each match would last half of an hour at the least and continue at least until one combatant lay dead or unable to continue. He had even hired an very loud herald to announce the combatants. Once they all arrived, BoB the herald began his introduction.

"INTRODUCING DANG MAN-CI, THE PROUD HOST OF TODAY'S BATTLE ROYAL. DANG IS A VERY TALL INDIVIDUAL WITH SKILLS IN THE SWORD, THE PIKE, AND WITH GREAVES, HE IS VERY POWERFUL AND IS EXPONENTIALLY FASTER THAN ANY FIGHTER WE HAV EVER SEEN IN THIS ARENA, ANY CHALLENGERS WHO ARE NOT UP TO FACING THIS MAN, OR ANY BYSTANDERS WHO THINK THEY CAN TAKE HIM, ARE WELCOME TO EXCHANGE PLACES."

OOC: I'm in for the home streatch. Good Idea Cheifoftheaces. I'll use Myles link in sig.
IC: "NEXT WE HAVE MYLES. A YOUNG BOY WHO IS READY TO FIGHT ANY ONE AND EVERYONE."
Myles walked into the arena.
"Interesting place." said Myles.
"AND NOW INTRODUCING....."
OOC: NEXT

OoC:
Nice to see you again Myles. I'm entering Ranul and Napaj.

BiC:
"Next we have the Cyrod brothers! Napaj and Ranul, but since there are no alliences, how will this work? Watch to find out!"

"Good luck... brother," Napaj said.

Ranul merely smirked. Luck? Who needs luck?

OoC:
NNNNEEEEXXXXTTTT!

OoC- I'll use Maximilian. Link in sig.

BiC-
EARLIER THAT DAY...


Astralis soared through the air, its purple wings aglow as it flew through a long tunnel of kaleidoscopic light, a wormhole. Max gripped the dragon's harness strongly, and stared off into the multicolored void.

"See anything interesting in any of those lights? I'm getting bored...maybe a battle?"

Astralis shook his head, and uttered a low grumble.

Nothing. Nothing at all...

"Well then...you suppose we will? Every world and universe can't be without fighting. Conflict is the neverending cycle....I meant, those monks taught me a lot, but one lesson was to never fight with anger..."

Yeah, yeah, I know. Don't drag me into another one of your wise guy routines.

"Well then, see anything now?"

Astralis's sharp left draconic eye caught something, and he immediately turned due east. Eventually the red sparkle, which opened up into a smaller wormhole tunnel, lead them out into the evening's deadened sunlight, and they descended through the wispy clouds. Eventually the large dragon stopped before a small building connected to a large dome. Max jumped off, and murmured to Astralis.

"You sure this is a fighting arena?"

The wise creature nodded, and soared off.

Maximilian walked up to the two doors at the entrance, and they opened as he approached. He walked up to the front desk, and faced a short, squat old man. Maximilian signed up for the battle, and walked inside.

AT THE CURRENT TIME.

"NOW INTRODUCING....MAXIMILIAN CRONQVIST! THIS VAMPIRE-SWORDSMAN-GUITARIST LIKES BLOOD, AND YOU'RE ON THE MENU!"

Maximilian stepped into the arena, and bowed. The bluish light in his right hand taking the shape of his phantom blade, Jenorath.

OOC: I see someone took advantage of my allowing multiple characters per person, i like that. And shade is here, your battles are always interesting, i really enjoyed reading that recently finished two on two VS/ ravenx. But enough reminiscing about things past, I'd like to wait to start this battle, see if we can't get a few more people, tomorrow then, or friday if you all like. PM me and tell me what you think, I do like how the combatant list is coming, So one of you can take the initiative and post, but wait until tomorrow to do so or at least until someone else is here, if nobody shows up today them feel free to start battling.

BIC: Dang was in the locker room, gretting the combatants. "How are you all, Just bear with me and we can get the first heat underway. We all know the rules correct? We will battle for half of an hour, but if no one is disqualified, which means being killed, or giving up, and giving up is not always verbal, if you fall unconscious or are not able to stand, then you will be magicked out by this mage"*gestures at a bearded man in a cloak* "As i was saying, in noone is disqualififed, then we continue until someone does lose. Those left after thirty minutes or 1 DQ move to the next heat."With this he took a seat to wait until the start of the match. but almost as an after though "AND good luck to you all."

OOC: I feel unbelievably stupid, i am going on a trip to the grand canyon and will be gone for a week, to a week and a half. WE leave saturday or sunday, an i will post here before we do, feel free to finish the heat we are in by controlling my character, BUT i would find it very nice of you to let me be alive when i get back, so dont be too rough or underestimate Dang's abilities, he is quite possibly as fast as or faster than Ranul, and if you read my other battles you get a feel for his tendacies and patterns(except he does not like being thrown in the sand although it happens frequntly in my battle with Kao's character Zurel.) Anyway, i would appreciate it if you would bear with me on this and cut me a little slack, It was oversight on my part that i would not have access to a computer for a week, and my entire life will go to hell before im back. but myles has battled me before and knows a little of my style so im not terribly worried about what you guys will do to me while im away.

DONT GIVE ME A REASON TO BE

OoC: I'm here too! I'll use Gigante and Su-Nina

Su-Nina heard the announcer. She came trotting into the arena at a steady pace. When she entered, there were many other warriors there, some she didn't recognise. Quickly, she got her staff out and struck a battle pose.

At the same time, a large card entered the arena. Spinning furiously, Gigante swiped threateningly at the opponents, though not actually striking them.

OoC: Ok, I'm in.

OOC: just a note, we are not in the arena yet, bet u feel stupid swinging at nothing king dodongo. But anyway we'll be joining you now.

BIC:
BoB:"Challengers to the arena!" he said loudly(as always) "Draw your weapons and Take your stances in the designated areas!"

Each warrior was sent to a spot against the wall, with roughly thirty yards between them and the next combatant on both sides (yes its that big!). they took thier stances(or just plain got ready) and waited anxiously for BoB to commence the fight.

"good luck to you all," Dang said, "you'll need it!"

"So will you," Napaj countered.

"Didn't say i would'nt, now did I?"

"Well, no, i guess not."

"FIGHT!" Thundered BoB

And fight they did, most rushing to the center but some turning and rushing over to someone who started near them. It seed like utter chaos for a moment, then the individual battles seemed to take form.

"AND IT LOOKS LIKE ITS..."

OOC: (someone finish my sentance)

BiC- "LOOKS LIKE IT'S MAXIMILIAN VERSUS GIGANTE!

Maximilian looked at Gigante's strange, paper-like body, amused.

"I'm fighting...a card? Pfft. Alright, but this is hardly fair."

Maximilian chuckled under his breath, and gripped Jenorath tightly as he began to run at the bizarre enemy. Gigante hovered towards Max, and began flying around him. Gigante began charging his dark flash, using the shadows around him to attack Max. The vampire realized what this creature was trying to do, and he retaliated by aiming his open palms at the blast, and was able to alter it's course, sending it at one of the other combatants by mistake. Gigante circled Max again, and flew between the opening of his outstretched legs, evading and giving a long papercut to his leg at the same time. A long, thin cut was visible on his leather clothing.

"These are my ONLY pair of jeans on hand, you stupid piece of paper!" Angry, he leapt on top of Gigante's flat side, and it wildly swung in all directions, attempting to throw him off. he shakily raised his blade high, meaning to impale the card-creature.

"RANUL VERSUS DANG MAN-CI!"

Ranul swiftly ran straight for Dang, and Dang ran straight for Ranul.

AS they drew closer to each other, Ranul pulled out one of his two knives. He waited untill the last possible second before jumping forward, between Dang's legs, and slammed the knife into his calf.

"AH!" Dang screemed in agony, stumbling a little but not falling. "You will regret that," he said, pulling the knife out of his leg.

OOC:
OMG IM BACK!!!!!!!
The GC was fun, but its good to be back and finally doing this myself, looks like im battling ranul so here we go!

BIC:
Dang threw the knife at Ranul, but nobody ever tought him how to do that right so it ended up flying hilt first back into ranul's outstretched hand. Dang groaned, and resolved not to do that again. So he grabbed his sword and rushed him, but ranul quickly evaded and tripped Dang. Getting up and dusting himself off, he dropped his weighted training clothes and tried again, this time fading from sight becuase of his speed. A cloud of dust rose and when it cleared Ranul had Multiple scratches in his armor, and a few minor cuts where Dang had gottn through. Dang was a good distance behind him, sheathing his sword. "I have got to work on stopping." he groaned

Gigante stopped struggling and just waited. Maximillian didn't seem to realise something wasn't quite right.

Max swung the blade with all the force he could manage, before flipping off the card.
However, when he looked back, there was a huge slash down one side of Gigante.
"Excellent," said Max, grinning with delight. But then, his face went from happiness, to shock as the card literally pulled itself together.
"no way!" he yelled.
Gigante began spinning, faster... and faster, and fast and faster...
"what on earth?" wondered Max.
TSHEEEEW!
A Light Spear was blasted right at Max's feet. Max looked stunned for a moment then fell back in horror as the card released an entire barrage of Light Spears at him.

Max was terribly worried for a moment, that those light spears would do him in, but then he remembered a vital power that he now possessed. He simply raised a pale hand, and a photokinetic barrier appeared in front of him, made of pure light. It absorbed the light spears, and transferred the light energy into plain vampiric energy, causing Max's wounds to heal.

"Ha! Guess you didn't count on that, or this!" He revealed his magical relic, the ring of autumn, and it glowed as a stream of flames struck Gigante, catching him ablaze.

OoC- Sorry for the short post...I just woke up. :confused:

Gigante span furiously in an attempt to put itself out, but the fire was racing all over the card's body.

Max grinned, unable to believe his luck.
Gigante was soon nothing more then ashes...

Max stood silent as a voice on the wind whispered to him...
"...You think you have one? Bah! This was just a warm-up... We shall fight again in another time and place... but for now... farewell!"
Max turned to the rest of the fight as a single piece of card blew into the wind and out of the stadium.

Max grinned as he pulled his guitar from behind his back, and played a quick set of victory riffs. he finished this up with a cool pose.

"If only Cass could see me now..." He said, and turned to the other combatants. Su-Nina looked at him with a challenging smirk, and attacked with her staff, releasing a Valkyrie war cry.

Max then tried to do something which was a bit of a long shot. He used the power of his ring to create the illusion that he had at least ten arms, with a sword in each hand. He continued to approach Su-Nina, and she took a few steps back as he neared, then prepared to attack.

Max grinned as he pulled his guitar from behind his back, and played a quick set of victory riffs. he finished this up with a cool pose.

"If only Cass could see me now..." He said, and turned to the other combatants. Su-Nina looked at him with a challenging smirk, and attacked with her staff, using the power of her magic to try and destroy the powerful vampire.

OOC: i suppose you clicked submit twice, but whatever we get it.

BIC: Dang and ranul were moving very rapidly around the arena, attacking each other to no avail as speed matched speed and blade struck blade. Dand pulled his pike to get an edge on the competition, and this kept ranul busy until he went tumbling right over napaj, who was not particularly busy at the moment and was watching other battles. But dang's feet failed him and never being the stopper, he went sprawling over napaj too. He was sure Napaj wasn't happy about it either. But dang went right into su-nina. And ended up on top of her, Normally he would very much enjoy such a position. But as he was about to reach for her... Wham!! he was flung off of her by a foot, he guessed it was hers. But he didnt have to consider that issue at the moment as Ranul was also up, and building speed in his direction.

IC:
Based on all the previous attacks, Ranul did a quick figure in his head. Alright, he thought, I'll drop to the side this time, and will attack while he tries to stop. And so he did.

Dang and Ranul ran straight for each other, but at the last second, Ranul dropped to the left, leaving Dang to swing his sword at nothing. Ranul's plan worked too well, for the momentum from the running and the sword knocked Dang on the ground. And that would make it hard for Ranul to attack without striking the ground.

"Ah man," he said, pulling away. He notched an arrow on his bow and let it fly...

Dang rolled to the side, but he couldn't outspeed a flying arrow, it grazed his shoulder and left a deep cut, but did not stick in, for which he was grateful, But he was in a little pain. He might go into shock if it was left unchecked, but the heat was almost over, if he could last without taking any more hits, since the card went down the heat would end in a few minutes, if he could just keep it up, he could stop the bleeding with pressure between the heats.


BoB: "TIMES UP!!!!!!!!!!! END HEAT NUMBER ONE!"

Dand thanked his good fortune and washed his wound, then held his hand over it to staunch the bleeding. Before the next heat, he hoped it would be on its way to scabbing and have stopped bleeding.


OOC: Put a timer before and after your posts now, so we can keep track of when a heat stops

Wonder where myles is?

OOC: WTF!! I posted in this! I started a battle with Napaj! GRRRRRRR...

Myles and Napaj stared at each other. Thay had sat out the heat before.


Well might as well ask him. Myles thought.

"Hey Napaj want to battle?" asked Myles.

"Sure that would be great." said Napaj.

OoC- Well, I can't battle until a certain green fire-breathing king decides to get off of his arse and continue the fight.

"Start heat two!" yelled BoB.

Myles and napaj stared into each others eyes.

"Goodbye old freind..." said Myles.

"Where are you going?" asked Napaj mockingly.

Myles smiled. He and Napaj had shared this joke before. It was when Myles was leaving his training.

"Nowhere." said Myles.

Myles than rushed at Napaj and they began to battle feircely. Napaj and Myles both fought there hardest and Napaj was highly confident. He had tought Myles every trick he had known... or had he?
