Death has black eyes ( Anyone)

Ooc: Ill be using Havane for this one. Link in sig. (I think you ve heard that enough but its habit by now( Like it would be anywhere else)

Bic: Havane once more starreded up unblinkingly into the dark void of the night sky. Life no longer had a meaning to him. The war that had altered him physically, had also left him mentally scarred. To be alone in the universe was a truly terrible thing, even when so many beings crouded the many planets. But Havane managed. Now at least. His skills were the only thing keeping him alive. He was wanted all over the universe. It had been this way for years now. Ever since that one life changing war. Loss. Death. Rubble. Betrayal. All natural feelings of war.

But the nation knew war was not far off from the beggining. An empire so greedy could not have been staved off for long. But hope was always there. Hope. Something no one could trust. A false feeling one gets in the heart when a well of deep desire for something to or not to happen. But like the theories of a scientist, all wells of hope have leaks.

Havane went back to his path. It was a rocky path, leading through a dense jungle. The noises seamed to emant from the trees themselves. After all, the jungle was wide awake at all hours of day. He could not expect to find himself the only one awake on any planet, at any given time.

But oh had he grown weary of being alone. He only had one friend. Whom he had killed. His mother, dead. His father, dead. His nation, destroyed. His planet, overrun. His life, lonely. Strong, but lonely.

He set about making camp when he found a nice clearing. Strange plants grew around it. Dark trees crouching with shapes loomed into the now growing firelight. The flames flickered like a cats tail. Always twitching. Knocking up dust, except ash, and smoke. He pitched his tent and sparks could be heard as he sharpened his sword on a certain metal he always carried with him. A good warrior always consideres his weapons before himself.

But it was when he moved towards his tent that he first noticed the shadows. First in front of him. But as soon as he saw them, they disappeared. His robotic eye had picked them up. Then he heard the movement. Directly behind him.

OoC: Your character is a good one to use my character, Trigoon, for this battle. Link in sig (as it should be).

BiC: "Who must I kill now, Lord?" Trigoon asked in distaste. Everytime he was always called in his presence, it was only to be given a new target. Can't there be one day where no blood is shed?

"Trigoon, you will not have to shed any blood for me today," God answered, reading his thoughts as he would a book. "This one you are hunting is no human, but a threat to life. He must be stopped before countless others become victims to his wrath."

"If he is no human, then what is he?" Trigoon asked surprised.

"He is no living thing, but a machine created by man and man alone." God created an image of the prey, as Trigoon preferred to call it. He had a metal scalp, with red eyes, one being mechanical. Red and black steel plating covered the body of this mechanical being, whereas signs of flesh were scarcely shown.

"Was this machine once a man?" Trigoon asked, curiosity in his voice.

"He was once a man, yes, and his mind is still intact, but he is still a threat to those around him. You must do something about this, Trigoon, and do it as quick as possible."

"If he is still showing signs of humanity, then why should I kill him? He can still be saved, Lord! Why do you want him dead so quickly?"

"Trigoon, he must be destroyed," God replied demandingly. "Would you rather have millions more killed by this machine of a man, or would you have only one life taken away to save millions more?"

At that moment his eyes opened, and Trigoon found himself in a forest. The strangeness of the plants around him and the difference in air than where he was showed that he was somewhere other than Earth. He knew that he was sent directly to his target. I hope he is willing to die, he told himself. If not, then I'm really going to hate this. He took his things with him, and made sure he had everything with him: his guns, his sword, and his shurikens, along with his helmet. Seeing that everything was where it should be, he placed his helmet onto his head, and began to walk to where he sensed the dark aura surrounding his target.

An hour later, Trigoon saw that his target was camping in a clearing. He hid behind the nearby bushes, waiting for a chance to strike. The machine was as it was shown to be: black and red steel plating, metal scalp, red eyes, and humanity was visible in this being. He looked like an emotionless, living thing, no signs of any feeling or humanity within him. However, Trigoon knew this wasn't so. Unfortunately Trigoon was sent to do a job which he could not refuse to accomplish, so he held onto his sword's hilt, ready to pull the blade from its sheath and strike down the mechanical man. Before he could do so, however, a twig snapped infront of the angel once his foot was sent forward, and the mechanical man turned its head to the source of the sound. Trigoon quickly ducked behind the bushes, and quickly darted around the clearing. Leaping from behind, Trigoon pulled his sword out and held it above his head, awaiting to slice down at the machine. The mechanical man moved quickly to the side, and threw a fierce punch at the angel. The angel moved back and stood cautiously away for the time being.

"Who are you?" the machine asked.

"I am your angel of death, machine," Trigoon replied with a powerful voice. "I have come to send you to your grave."

"You will not kill me, for I am at an advantage against you."

"You may be a machine, and maybe you might still be human underneath your steel plating, but that matters not. I do not wish to do so, but I have come to take your life away by the order of the Lord himself!"

I want in too, if that's okay. Havane?...I'd conter with Wave, for the connection they had before in a fight...for old times sake. That okay by you?

OoC: Nice Post. Yeah, your characters is a good one, the fight should get interesting.

BiC:

Another bounty hunter. D***. More fighting. And an Angel to. thought Havane. He had heard of powers of angels. Mind reading. Flying. Moving without a sound. Well. He couldnt believe all of this. After all, he had stepped on a twig.

" You should be looking for my friend, Quasar. He is more of a demon then anyone else I have met here." Laughed Havane trying tolighten the mood best he could as he always does in battle.

He saw that for the most part the angels weapons wer primative, so he should fight on his level, at least to make the battle even. He drew one of his own swords, and changed his other arm into a sword. He instantly went into a diagonal plank and spun flying through the air creating a vacuum. He launched himself forward he spun rapidly. With a quick side step the angel blocked the attack with ease. Havane landed and ran up a tree.

"When a fight is not wanted, hide." He yelled loud enough from the top of the massive fir tree.

"Do you fear death? Or do you just fear loosing a battle?" The angel said.

"Hey, I never got your name?" Havane asked. " You look like a fred. May I call you Fred?" he mocked back. His stealth mode was on but the tree was many colored. He could not completely blend in so he decided on blac, seeing as how it was night. He took out his gun and changed his interchangable hand back into a hand. He then drew his other blaster. So much for taking it easy on him. Or for fighting on his level. Havane took aim. He fired one single shot that would have pierced the angels head, but through some instinct the angel had ducked. The shot hit the ground right in front of him, but before it did, Havane leapt around the clearings trees to the opposite side. Its hard to hit an animal that doesnt stand still. Ha. Dust smoked from where the bullet landed.

The angel immediately looked behind him. Havane had seen it coming. The angel sword flashed out, and he jumped straight towards the tree behind him. Havane had his dual swords out and he leapt through the air to intersept him. The angle looked side ways only the instant before Havane's foot slammed into him. The angel flew through the air and hit the ground rolling. Havane landed lightly on his feet. The angel got up quickly enough. Havane was not ready for his next attack. The angel hit Havane at what seamed hyper speed. Havane went flying backwards and hit the tree directly behind him. He then went into camo mode, and scurried up it.

"So what is your name?" Havane tried again.

"My Name is Trigoon." He replied shortly.

OoC: Hey, I'll join this. My character hasn't been in a battle yet. Her name is Erani and you'll find the link to her profile in my sig.

BiC: It was a peaceful day for Erani as she strolled through the thick, dense forest she had come across earlier in the day. In a stream she would find fish, her favorite food, to eat and rest when needed. She cut through any thorny bushes with her sword to make a path large enough for her. It was tough work for a creature her size, yet she cut with the strength she had. Erani, though she had a muscular body, did not have such muscular arms, so she often wore herself out doing such tasks.

It sure isn't easy traveling in here as a Centaur, Erani thought as she cut through bush after bush. When she would finally clear a path, she wiped the sweat from her forehead in exhaustion. The forest was thinner in some places, with plants growing here and there on the forest floor. Erani crushed a lot of them with her big hooves, though she didn't care. She considered a variety of forest floor plants to be weeds.

Sometime later, Erani heard noises coming from somewhere to her left. It didn't sound like anything good. She walked toward the noises, cutting paths for her as she went. The noises grew louder with every step Erani took. Eventually, she looked through some bushes that weren't thorny and her eyes widened at the sight. What appeared to be a human with wings was fighting another strange-looking human that was hard to describe. Some of his body changed to different things, some of which Erani had never seen before in her life. Erani grew curious as to what was happening. She closed the bushes and leaped into the clearing on which the strange humans were fighting.

"Hey! What is going on around here?" she exclaimed. She looked at the winged human upon closer inspection. Erani then realized what he must be.

"Hey, are you...an angel?" she asked. Erani recalled that her parents used to tell her stories about angels and other creatures.

"The lord sent me to destroy this thing of a machine," the winged human replied, halting his fighting. "And yes, I am an angel. What are you?" For a minute, Erani was startled at the question. Everybody else she had encountered knew what she was.

"I'm a Centaur," Erani replied, rather shyly. "What's a...machine?"

"He's a machine," the angel pointed at the other human. "He has remarkable powers. I would stay clear of him if all you have on you is that sword. The lord says he is a threat to many." Erani smiled. She knew exactly what the angel meant.

"That may be," Erani began. "But he isn't a threat if both of us went against him. You don't know what physical strength I can bring with my body." The angel raised his eyebrows.

"You'd help me?" he asked. "Great! What's your name? I'm Trigoon."

"Erani," Erani replied. "If this machine is as dangerous as you make it out to be, I'd be glad to help. He could pose as a threat to my herd, whom I left awhile go." The machine soon got angry.

"Enough of this talk!" he yelled. "If you two think you can beat me, then I'd love to see you try!" The machine cackled an evil laugh. Erani gripped her sword tightly, ready for what she knew was going to be a tough battle.

Ooc: Okay. Just like to let you know that Havane is the victim here. Oh and nice to have another fighter.

Bic:

"I spoke out of anger. I am sorry. It was the machine talking. I would like to say that I am the victim here. I want no trouble. This angel as you call him attacked me in the night. I am of no threat to anyone unless they are of a threat to me. By challenging me you put me in no choice but to consider you and your ... angel here threats. Choose now. The victim or the executionar?" Havane replied sternly yet calmly. He may be able to take both these beings, but he had no idea how.

He changed his arm around nervously. The centaur was obvioulsy trying to make a decision. Thats when the angel moved obviously awaiting her decision. Havane turned his attention to the angel. He was the one Havane would have to watch. After all the centaur would be at a disadvantage to Havanes speed. But the angel was just as quick as himself. This fight could be the old I have bitten off more then I can chew. But whos doing the biting here?

"Centaur!This battle awaits your decision!" Yelled Havane. "Forgive me, Erani. When threated my machine kicks in. It is a defense mechanism kicks in. I m more aggressive so if it comes to it, I live and not who is trying to kill me."

OoC: Oh, okay. I only wanted to make him sound annoyed by the talking. Also, know that Erani has the body of a horse. She is a fast runner. Speed is one of her strengths.

BiC: Erani had a tough decision to make. She could only make it harder by listening to both Trigoon and Havane. Whether to believe one of them and not the other was a hard choice to make, but Erani had to make it. She decided to talk with them before coming to a final conclusion. But what to say, she could not fully determine.

"So...your machine half sometimes takes control of you?" Erani asked, wanting to be sure. Havane nodded.

"Yes. I've been trying to deal with it," he said. "It's hard." Erani continued to be lost in thought. She was always careful with her decisions, as one wrong move could easily result in something very dangerous.

"I see. That makes sense," Erani concluded. "But don't you think that your machine side could be a threat instead of yourself as a whole?" Now it was Havane's turn to be lost in thought. He knew Erani was right.

"Yes, since you put it that way," he replied. "But this angel says his so called lord sent him to kill me. What are we to do about this?" Trigoon had had enough and stomped his foot.

"Enough! The only way to end this is for me to carry out my lord's wishes!" he yelled. Trigoon tried to shoot Havane with one of his guns. Havane didn't notice it and was hit. Havane shot Trigoon back with rage. Erani leaped between the two, also annoyed.

"Both of you, knock it off!" she exclaimed. "There has to be some way we can--" Erani was cut off by a red light coming straight for her. She dodged it in time, thanks to her speed. It came straight from Havane's gun.

"Hey! Watch it!" she snapped. Erani threw her sword at Havane. He barely dodged it, causing it to land in the dirt behind him. Erani, unable to retrieve her sword, ran up to Havane, turned around and kicked him into the bushes with her back legs. The blow was so strong, Havane slowly sat up with dents in his armor. Trigoon just stood there, looking shocked.

Pretty soon, Havane realized what Erani did to his armor. He gasped.

"Hey! You dented my armor!" Havane exclaimed. "That wasn't right! That shot was an accident, I swear!" Erani didn't want to believe him for a second.

Erani walked up and retrieved her sword and twirled it in her hand. Trigoon walked up beside her.

"That was amazing," he said. "You do have some fight in you." Erani winked at him. It was a wink that said "I have more than that."

OoC: That's all for now.

OoC: Just would like to make something clear. My character doesn't have any angel wings visible, but he does have them. I just had them in the picture to show him fully. I left that small bit out of the profile, it seems.

Oh, and his helmet is still on his head XD.

BiC: Now that everything has been decided through some... strange events, my task will be accomplished alot easier than I had anticipated. Trigoon gripped his sword tightly, ready to attack without further delay. He slowly reached for his backside, and held onto whatever was behind him.

"Could you do me a favour, centaur?" Trigoon asked in a whisper.

"What is it?" Erani replied with a question.

"Follow my lead," the angel replied, and leaped onto the centaur's back. He took off into the air above Erani, almost gliding through the air. Trigoon threw out his hand from his backside and threw several shurikens at Havane. The mechanical being dodged the angel's attack, only to be subjected to the powerful thrust of the centaur's strength pushing him into the trees behind him. The trees toppled over Havane, seeming to crush him into the ground. Trigoon landed softly onto the ground near Erani, where they both looked at each other and gave each other a nod of the head to show each other's appreciation for their help. Maybe this ill go alot faster than anticipated. Hopefully I'll gt this done and over with by the break of dawn.

Suddenly the trees started to moved. They were thrown aside, and smoke and dust formed around the area of the violent impact the machine endured. From out of the smoke came the mechanical being, and he appeared more violent than before just by the look in his eyes.

"Is his machine side taking over him?" Erani asked in panic. "If he's a good person as he said he was, then that couldn't be his human side taking over him... could it?"

"Do not believe what he told you that moment ago." Trigoon held his sword behind him below his waist, in a low, defensive stance. "He is machine, and that is the only truth. He has given up his life for the soul purpose to become stronger. In that purpose he has killed all that he loved and all that he wished no harm. He must be destroyed, human or machine." I cannot say I wish him no harm. If I said that then I would be going against my own purpose.

"I hate to do this," the centaur explained in a worried tone. "But if what you say is the truth, then I'll do what we have to do."

"It is not what I had said, but what he had said," Trigoon muttered under his breath, speaking to himself.

"Did you say something?" Erani asked, and at that sudden moment she turned her head to face Trigoon the machine charged at her. The machine pushed the centaur as violently, if not more, as he was pushed back, and she wasd thrown into a group of trees behind her.

"Erani!" Trigoon shouted out of alarm. The machine soon after stood right infront of Trigoon, and punched him into the stomach, sending him flying into the air. The machine came after him, and kicked him into the ground hard. The impact on the ground left a crater, with Trigoon in the center of it. His helmet shattered into many pieces, showing his face to whoever looked at him.

Damn, that machine knocked us both out so simply. Trigoon was unable to move for awhile after the harsh landing he had. I guess I have to give it some more effort.

The mechanical being walked down to where the angel laid down. Standinng by him, the mechanical being grabbed Trigoon by the throat and lifted him up. He looked at the angel and grinned.

"So now I get to see the face of my so-called 'angel of death.' " the machine chuckled. "Guess who will kill who, angel."

OoC: Who's next?

Ooc: Ill go. Oh and By inplying that Havane had the advantage by more speed, It is logically harder for a centaur to turn. No doubt though that she could beat him in a straight forward race. But he is quick. IF he could manage to get on her back, it would be pretty easy win.

Bic: Havanes Red eyes slowly became normal. He let go of his hold on Trigoon. He leapt away just as the angel was about to attack. He starred at the angel.

"I was not lying. I was betrayed by my people and my friends. I volunteered to be an experiment to save my people. It could not be helped. I did what I had to for my planet to survive. But I was bettrayed. I may be dangerous when I am being taken over by my machine, but that only happens when I am attacked. Or in battle. But do not be so foolish as to think that I am power hungry. I hate what I am becuase of what it has made me. Look into my eyes and tell me what I said is not so. Tell me that I am lying." He sobbed. Memories filling him. Darkness overwhelming.

Suddenly his eyes went pitch red again. He looked at them. Then fought and recontrolled. "I tire of this angel and I will finish it one way or another." Suddenly his arm changed again. Erani charged at Havane. But he ignored her. He shot three missles. Two missed and hit the tree behind him. The other hit him square. He collapsed and the tree fell on him. He looked at Erani. She was still ten seconds away from him. But he stood there. She came within striking distance. But still he did not attack. She stopped right before him.

"Will you not defend yourself? Are you to allow me to destroy you." She asked, shocked by his behavior.

"I will take the punishment I must. I fear not pain, but do not yet wish to end my life. Not when good can still be done." He replied quietly. Just audiable by the centaur. Then the tree moved to the side and the angel came out wounded. In a flash Havane repaired his armor. The more experience he had the faster he could prepare it. He had plenty of experience.

He allowed the angel to charge him. The centaur stilled starred at him in shock. He blanked out. His circuits had completely taken over. But he refused to allow himself to move. Then His eyes could see again. The angel was mad with revenge. He would not allow compasion to stop his attack. His sword caught Havane in the chest. A scratch appeared on his metal. He flew through the air and slamed right through a tree. It broke in half and fell on him.

The tree pushed over almost instantly. "Man, Im begging to hate trees." He got up. The machine still not taking over. "Oh and Erani. That shot really was an accident." he laughed. The angel was starring in complete surprise. Not at the fact that he was still alive, but becuase he was laughing in the middle of a battle. Havane then pulled out both his blasters and fired continuously at Trigoon. But the angel was running now and avoided each shot.

Ooc: Whos next?

OoC: I'll go. Just reminding you two, physical strength and speed are Erani's allies.

BiC: Erani still felt shocked to what Havane said. However, when she finally shook her head and realized what was going on, she felt another wave of shock run through her body. Havane was trying to attack Trigoon. Trigoon, while dodging each move, looked as if he was starting to get worn out. Erani gulped, but knew she had to do something.

Looks like I'll have to use my secret weapon, Erani thought. She stood between Trigoon and Havane, reared high up on her hind legs, and came back down to the ground, her front hooves making a loud crash. The ground shook with rage and caused both Trigoon and Havane to fall to the ground while being shook by the impact made by Erani's hooves.

For the next few seconds, it felt like an earthquake had struck. Erani certainly proved her strength by using her 'earthquake.' Trigoon got up, still shaking slightly. Havane was still on the ground, looking severely affected by the impact of the 'earthquake.' He barely moved.

"Did I...defeat him?" Erani asked, looking shocked again. Trigoon finally stopped shaking, but took a few seconds to answer the question.

"I...I don't know," he answered. "That move certainly weakened him." Suddenly, Havane slowly started to sit up. He put his hand to his head, as if it were in pain. Which it was.

"Oh...what a headache I have now..." he complained. "You're certainly stronger than you look, Erani." Erani folded her arms.

"I know. Others often underestimate my strength," she replied. "But now...I don't know who to believe..." Trigoon and Havane just stood there, not a word coming from them. Erani was also silent for a few more seconds.

"One story from you, Trigoon," she explained. "And a whole different one from you, machine." Trigoon sighed in frustration. He didn't want to admit Erani was right. Perhaps it was all a big misunderstanding. Perhaps Havane really was telling the truth. Whether that wast true was still a mystery to Trigoon and Erani, however.

OoC: Alright, I am finally here and submitted my part. Sorry for the time it took me to get this done.

BiC: Unbelievable! Trigoon gritted his teeth in anger. I came here to get rid of this machine, not to have a talk with him! Why are they stalling? I should have been gone by now, having killed the machine. Did that happen? No, it didn't. I had to have this half-horse, half-human woman come in and stop me from striking when I had the perfect opportunity! Damn this all to...!

Then Trigoon looked at the two who seemed to wait patiently for a story from the angel. The machine gave him a dark look, as if he tried to scare Trigoon. It was a pathetic attempt in the angel's mind, as it didn't work one bit. The centaur, however, bothered Trigoon. She wasn't supposed to be here in the first place! Trigoon scratched (sp?) his head. This wasn't the first time that someone interrupted his kill, but the centaur posed a threat with her immense strength and power. I might as well think of something to say, to get this done and over with.

"Do you want a story?" Trigoon asked as he sighed heavily.

"It's about time," Havane said impatiently. "Hurry and tell us."

"First off, I will tell you things that are unheard of, so don't blame me if yo find my story to be hard to believe." Trigoon thrusted his sword into the ground next to him, and he took off his helmet. He shook his head to get the hair out of his eyes. Trigoon placed his helmet onto the hilt of the sword, and he took off his guns next. He then placed them next to his guns. Trigoon's audience looked at him as he unarmed himself, surprised of the angel's cooperation. It seems I got their attention.

"Now we know what you look like under that helmet of yours," Havane spoke.

"Alright, I will tell you my story, but only once."

"That took awhile," Erani said in a sarcastic tone.

"So here is my story," Trigoon began, but first sighed heavily. He continued, "I do not work alone, as you might already know. I help in doing the work of the Lord, God, who has created this universe we inhabit. He has created an army of angels who are to be sent throughout the universe, me being one of them." The angel eyed the mechanical being, looking at him. "My sole purpose of being sent here was to kill every single sentient life who would take away another's life in vain. This one is one of those living beings I must send to his grave." The angel looked at the centaur. "It wasn't until you came that I was stopped from killing this creature."

"I did not stop you," Erani attempted to explain, irritated by Trigoon pointing the finger at her. "I came here, hearing people fighting. I only wanted to help whoever needed the help, but then you two were making me confused."

"It doesn't matter what your reason was!" The angel became angry. "You came, interrupting me from killing this machine, and I could have gotten this done sooner!"

"Calm down, ok?" Erani was getting annoyed by Trigoon's complaints. She turned her head to look at Havane. "Now let's hear your story, so it can be fair for the both of you."

Just as she said those words, Trigoon furiously threw his helmet from his sword's hilt and grabbed the blade. He darted for Havane, as quickly and silently as possible. However his fury took over him and made him shout out at the mechanical being.

"Die you murderous creature!"

OoC: Okies. We'll be waiting.

Ooc: I really cant do anything here. So Ill just wait for whoever to post.
