NationStates Jolt Archive

There are 3 Protoss standing in a large arena, the day is hot and the harsh jungle sun beats down on them, they are 3 of the competitors, good friends in truth, Gologh, a powerful Praetorian and the former champion, Kao, his long time friend, less powerful in the mind, but with a body and skill that made up that lack, he was also a Praetorian and was last years second place contender, the third was a massive Archon, a being of pure energy, he was newly made but still powerful, he stood nearly 8 feet tall and his name was Kentas, he was a rookie and he would be competing for the first time. This year would be a greater competition than any previous, and the honor for the victor would be greater than before.

It was the first day of sovvan , the ritual that commemorated the Aeon of Strife, the combats in honor of the fallen would begin as soon as the other nations champions arrived.

The three competitiors from Theao arrived at the competition site. Miro, Ven, Keto each had a large pack on thier backs.
Miro with her silver eyes took in the other competitors, moving from each as she sized them up.
Ven and Keto were less aggressive in thier stance and behavior as they walked alongside Miro.

"Entaro Adun humans, welcome to The Arena, once all of the other entrees have arrived, the bouts will begin, I am Kentas, an Archon of the Templar, these are my friends, Gologh and Kao, champion and runner up respectively."

"As my friend has noted, you are the first to arrive, but while we wait for the others to come, allow me to conduct you to the rooms you will occupy during your stay, and then show you to the lounge, the rest of our team waits there, and I will introduce you to them if you wish." Gologh beckons for them to follow and walks towards a building that can vaguely be seen in the distance through the haze of heat upon the ground.

Krowaden had arrived, his full plate armour gleaming in the sun, the great blue mist escaping from his Power Axe, he knew that this would be a great challenge.

"Entaro Adun, you must be Krowaden, allow me to show you to the rooms you will be staying in until the end of the festival, and I will show you the lounge as well, where you may speak with the other fighters if you wish." It was Kao this time, and as he spok the rest of the team came out, they were tasked with introducing the other nations fighters to the arena and the amenities it had, and they would likely be run ragged today, but they would rest tomorrow, and on the third day the fights would begin.

"Alright." Keto replied as Ven gestured for thier guide to lead on.

The five warriors from Kuruda appeared surrounded in Shadows. They walked into the arena and stood there cloaked in arcane robes. Each held a different weapon but none truly needed it.

Lurking in the shadows, a massive beast (http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?do=List_Models&code=302083&orignav=300836&ParentID=255039&GameNav=10) lumbered.

It lumbered slowly towards the arenas, it's thick armor plating glissening with organic liquids, it's claws flexing and snapping, and it's head twitching about, scanning the surrounding area.

It approached further, and took one step forward, and let out a deafening roar. This would truely be a glorious day for the swarm.

"Alright." Keto replied as Ven gestured for thier guide to lead on.

Gologh led them to their rooms, each had a seperate room, and if they were not opulent, they were at least extremely comfortable, with a well stuffed chair, a good sized bed, and a table, as well as reception for international entertainment programs, they were equipped with humans, and especially human fighters, in mind, not only was everything comfortable, it was hard to break as well.

"Entaro Adun, I will guide you to the rooms that you will occupy during the festival, and show you where you may relax and talk with the other fighters if you wish."

The three dropped thier packs and went to observe the competition.

It approached further, and took one step forward, and let out a deafening roar. This would truely be a glorious day for the swarm.

Krowaden heard the roar and walked off to investigate, he saw the beast and stood stunned "Lord Kadun himself could not have imagined a fight as worthy as this, I will look forward to fighting you"

They had been warned about this one, and Kentas was specifically detailed to handle it, as the largest and most physically powerful of the protoss he had the best chance of keeping it in line, and hopefully the area they had prepared for it would both suit it and hold it.

Kentas did not bother to adress the beast, instead he simply gave a display of his power, scorching a passing bird from the sky, and sending the mental impression that he could do the same to the beast if it did not stay in line.

He then turned and led it towards the swamp they had set aside for it, surrounded by shields, it was the only thing they could think of to hold the beast.

The beast leaned forward and looked dumbly at Krowaden, obviously not understanding his words. The beast sniffed at the unfamiliar being, and then growled.

He leaned his head back up and looked towards the Archon. Seeing the bird being shot from the sky did not seem to phase him. The beast was not sentient and did not understand much, but still, he seemed to show alittle more respect for this larger glowing figure, and willingly complied and followed him to the chamber, and allowed himself to be locked away.

OOC Theao I TGed you on a matter we were discussing

IC
The warriors immediatley noticed the Great Carnifex as a Tyranid Hive Monster. When they went to their rooms they immediatley unpacked their stuff. Darsa walked to the lounge looking for someone to talk too. Although many would not know why but Jin was following close behind him.

Krowaden had nothing to unpack and so he began to introduce himself to the other competitors.

With the Carnifex locked away, and Krowaden being led to his chambers, the Protoss team was able to meet and discuss the competitors they had met so far, Krowaden seemed easily awed, the three from Theao were hard to shock, but were probably brittle underneath a tough exterior, and the Carnifex was a mindless beast, it had no intelligence, only killing instinct, but that too was a weakness, it would not think or plan, only react, meaning it could be fooled, or trapped easily. They were whiling away the time until the last of the competitors arrived, then the traditional Feast would be held, followed by the Night of Sorrows, when none left their houses, as they reflected on the honored dead of their clan, both in the past and in more recent times.

Thaler and Bakay slowly walked into the area, wearing their standard Barkozian uniform along with a different sort of hat. The Barkozian border guard was the elite, and hopefully those skills would help the two. Thaler held a double-barreled shotgun and Bakay had a C96 pistol. Only Bakay had any real skill at unarmed combat, and wasn't formally trained. They also carried large bags, mostly with changes of clothes.

For now, though, they were merely reporting present. Thaler stepped forward.

"Hello, we're here to report in. Have you a place for us to stay?"

"Entaro Adun, I will show you to your rooms, then you may go to the lounge to mingle with the other competitors, when the last of the fighters have arrived we will have a feast, and tomorrow the combat will begin."

"Thank you."

Thaler and Bakay followed as they were lead to their room. Both of them put their things down as the human walked out without his compatriot. When Thaler looked back, he quickly asked his friend.

"Coming?"

"I'll be out for the feast."

"Alright.."

With this, the human walked back to the lounge to see the others. The first person he saw was Krowaden, with his flashy armor and strange-looking axe. Curiously, he walked to this man. Of course, Thaler only had the double-barreled shotgun.

"You don't look very well-equipped for a fight."

He then chuckled to himself.

"My name's Thaler."

The protoss were evaluating the newest arrivals, their equipment was primitive, but they seemed to know how to use it, they also didn't look like professional fighters, maybe professional soldiers, but not professional fighters, it was doubtful if they would be able to stand against even their first opponents.

He then chuckled to himself.

"My name's Thaler."

"Well met Thaler, but please tell me as to why i do not look equipped to fight?" Krowaden asked behind fused teeth, to insult ones fighting skill was the highest insult on Kaduna.

The protoss watched this exchange carefully, it would be a gross violation of festival law to engage in combat outside of the arena, and any combat outside of the arena would end very swiflty.

Darsa unsheathed his sword, Ryu, and it slid carefully but swiftly a light with flames between the two fighters and Darsa said, "Save your energy for the fights tommorrow."

"Well, considering most people are going to have the luxury of standing and firing at range, that axe may not be the tool for the job."

Thaler sat down and then thought to himself for a moment.

"But you'd never have come if that were entirely true, am I correct?"

"Well, considering most people are going to have the luxury of standing and firing at range, that axe may not be the tool for the job."

Thaler sat down and then thought to himself for a moment.

"But you'd never have come if that were entirely true, am I correct?"

"This Axe has got me through more scrapes than your Shotgun ever will!" Krowaden responded with grimace "This plate armour'll be more than a match for any of your projectiles!"

"Well, considering most people are going to have the luxury of standing and firing at range, that axe may not be the tool for the job."

Thaler sat down and then thought to himself for a moment.

"But you'd never have come if that were entirely true, am I correct?"

Gologh took this opportunioty to interject, "But are your primitive chemical rifles going to be able to penetrate his armor, or that of anyone else here?"

The three competitors watched the interchange when Ven pulled out a deck of cards and the three began playing a game.

The pack of cards revealed another weakness to the protoss, gambling, a gambler might well take unnecessary risks, leaving himself open, that weakness could be easily exploited.

Darsa interjected, "That is not the question. The question is can the person wielding the shotgun use it effectivley."

Thaler nodded his head and spoke again.

"That armor.. Well... the magician does not tell his secret, eh?

I will say this: the sword, the axe, the shotgun.. None of these are the real weapons that matter. No, your weapon is your brain. These things are merely tools to do a job. It will be interesting to watch, yes?"

Darsa interjected, "That is not the question. The question is can the person wielding the shotgun use it effectivley."

"But if the shotgun is unable to penetrate the armor then the skill of the user does not matter." Gologh was being intentionally less than intelligent, the time before the battle was as important as the battle itself to defeating the enemy.

Krowaden flinched at the mention of Sword, he managed to recauperate but had a tear roll down his cheek.

"Yes it will be very interesting." Darsa agreed. He turned to Gologh and said, "How many more competitors are missing? And do you have a place where me and Jin may spar for warm-up?"

The three caught everything the others were doing, even thought to all appearences they were deeply engaged in thier odd game.

"Yes it will be very interesting." Darsa agreed. He turned to Gologh and said, "How many more competitors are missing? And do you have a place where me and Jin may spar for warm-up?"

"Only two have yet to arrive, and I will show you to the salle, where you may practice."

Darsa nodded and said, "Thank you. I hope we will not make too much noise. Shall we proceed Jin?" Jin nodded and said only one word, "Yes."

Gologh led them to the salle, a large room with a full mirrored wall, practice weapons of every sort, pells, and a floor that had been left unsanded to increase traction, it was a work of art and it was for the training of the Praetorian, the highest ranked zealots, and it had been turned over to the contestants for the duration of the tournament.

The beast was getting impatient in its cell. It pounded and roared on the shield, and was increasingly becoming irritated.

The Archon went to deal with the creature again, repeating the demopnstration of the bird, but this time on something a bit larger, he destroyed a rhinotaur with a single blast, and renewed his threat of destruction against the carnifex.

The act seemed to enrage the beast more, it continued to pound and pound. But soon after, a powerful psi force was felt, channeling into the beast, and it settled down immediatly, and seemed quite calm and lax.

Ven went to look at the Carnifax, while Keto glanced in on Darsa and Jin. Miro switched games and continued playing.

Darsa turned to Gologh and said, "I suggest if you want to observe us you stand back. Things tend to get kind of...............hot when we spar." Darsa and Jin's robes were dropped to reveal Black Dragonscale Armor. They started muttering litanies to themselves and their bodies were surrounded with black and red flames. Darsa was the first to jump back and he hit the ground with his fist yelling, "FLAME PILLARS!" With that twenty pillars burst up from the ground striking at Jin. But Jin could be heard yelling, "NOVA SHIELD!" And a shield of blue flames enveloped him protecting him. Then Jin counterattacked yelling, "INFERNO TEMPEST!" Darsa avoided the large assault and yelled "HAKEN!" and a blade of green energy cought Jin dead on and he flew back. Darsa followed up yelling, "SONIC PUNCH!" Darsa's arm glowed blue and struck Jin knocking him to the ground. The fight stopped there. Darsa walked over and offered a hand to Jin saying, "Good job Jin. Don't feel bad I've been doing this a lot longer so you will be fine." Jin took his hand and nodded while saying, "Yes Master I tried my best. Shall we go back and converse with the other fighters." Darsa nodded saying, "Yes." He turned to Gologh and said, "Thank you for the use of this room. Hopefully we will see combat shortly." Darsa and Jin put on their robes and walked out of the room that was scroched from their little warm-up. Little did Gologh know they were barely using any of their power.

Gologh was mildly impressed, although shouting your attacks to the world was for fools and damn fools, they were still powerful, but Gologh could sense their power, he was a master psychic in a race of psionicists, few could hide their secrets from his mind, and those few were all his friends, the energy that the two utilised warped the flows of the aether, and they had a visible aura of disrupted aether lines around them, he was willing to bet that the more energy they used, the less disrupted the aether would be.

Jin walked behind Darsa and using his psionic abilities sensed Gologh's doubts. And what Gologh nor any of the fighters knew was that whatever they saw was just their natural power. Soon they would see the power of Shadow Skill must be unlocked from the soul before a person could use it. Once Shadow Skill was unlocked their power would grow exponentially.

Gologh returned to the lounge, they were still waiting for the two from Gronde, and the feast could not start without them, they still had some hours yet to wait, but soon the others would grow impatient.

Yuri Jokom walked over to the swamp and put his hand to the shielding and moved his mind to touch the Carnifex. He touched it's mind and felt the primal fury of the beast. He had killed many of it's kind and many other Tyranid. He felt further and he detected it. It controlled the beast. He slowly probed at it thinking to himself that this must be the Hive Mind. He had never really probed a Hive Mind before and he was excited.

(OOC: Mini Miehm, could you supply my character with a long range reciever, i want to tie in one of my RP's into this, if thats cool with you)

Yuri's mind was suddenly forced out of the Carnifex. A massive overwhelming psi force making a presense inside the beast, making sure no mental harm came to it. The psi force was loving to the carinfex, but burtal to the invading mind.

The beast suddenly roared and started to pound on the shiled where Yuri was.

(OOC: Mini Miehm, could you supply my character with a long range reciever, i want to tie in one of my RP's into this, if thats cool with you)

OOC: Sure, there's data terminals in the rooms, will that work?

Yuri pulled back as he felt the psi attack. It was definatley a Hive Mind. He saw it start pounding at the shields. He didn't move back at all. Although the Carnifex was a mighty beast of the Tyranid he had faced far worse. He did not fear the mighty beast. If it chose to attack him he knew how to disable it without causing any large amount of energy. He himself had gone against the Necron alone and survived. He himself had gone against the Dominatrix and slain it in a few short minutes.

OOC: Sure, there's data terminals in the rooms, will that work?

(OOC: excellent)

Krowaden patched the data terminal in to recieve transmissions from the homeworld Kaduna "General Krowaden, I was hoping i could talk to you, we face a dire situation here, your brother unfortunantly betrayed us, he turned to the Priesthood before hi-jacking the Duchal Flagship Kendwina!" Krowaden was shocked, his elder brother, the Admiral, had taught him all he knew and he was a traitor? "The last known wherabouts of the Kendwina were some readings from a hostile planet, no Kadunese life signs were detected, i am so sorry!" The Grand Duke hoped that this would fool the General into giving up hope in Kadun and allow him to accept the passing into Priesthood "we wish you luck in the tournament, may Kadun bless your movements!"

OOC A little help please Mini Miehm like have one of your characters release a beast or RP a beast. I got nothin to do today now that I'm just waiting for the county fair to start.

Ceran and Kyou walked through the nearby forest looking for a beast or two to fight. They needed to find something with incredible strength that would be a formidable foe. The Protoss planets were known to have such animals in the wilds. But as they looked around no beasts could be found.

OOC: Be careful what you wish for, I have a tendency to go a little overboard with my monsters, like now...

IC:

The hunger was all, and there was food in its territory, it would kill and eat, and when it had eaten it would kill and eat again, because that was the nature of its life, it ate and it slept, and in time it would die and be eaten, but until then it would continue to eat, and right now its targets were Ceran and Kyrou, small for a beast of its size to eat, but a good enough snack.

It came through the trees, nothing the size of a small house should be so quiet as to travel a forest silently, it was massive, standing taller than a small huse, covered in thick armor and sporting massive jaws and clawed hands, the Wysra was not a beast to be taken lightly, and even the power of the two would be hard pressed to defeat it.

The three competitors from Theao went back to thier card game.

OOC: We could quit doing this crap if Gronde would show up, I know he's usually busy to some extent but if he hasn't posted by the time I get on here tomorrow I'm gonna start without him.

OOC: I do what I can, I'm horribly evil like that, and don't worry, we can still kill the posleen easy enough, just apply a really big gun to the problem. :D

OOC Great Thanks. Hey Theao I sent you a telegram on the IoM.

IC
Ceran and Kyou heard it coming it was quiet alright and big. Then again they did not become the Grand Masters of the Kuruda School without having faced something as strong as this by themselves. But when they worked as a team they were more powerful than many could imagine. Together they had killed Brimstone Dragons. Ceran jumped up and used the Solar Flare technique blinding the beast. While that happened Kyou used the combat killing technique Rapier which cut down many trees as the energy blade burned the aiir and cut into the beast.

The creture paused, confused by the pressure on its chitin, then it advanced again, its armor creased, but not penetrated.

The three, Miro, Keto and Ven, decided to seek out one of their hosts to see if they had a gymnasium.

ooc: Replied to your TG Dratheria.

OOC TGed you back Theao

Seeing this Ceran yelled, "It's got some damn thick armor. Looks like we will need to use some stronger attacks." Ceran ran at it his legs suddenly glowing with golden crackling energy. He jumped and unleashed thirty kicks in succesion at it's eyes and head. The air smelt of ozone as he did so. Kyou came up behind the beast and used the Nova Kick technique. The air sizzled and burned as the kick lashed out at the previous dent on the beast's armor.

ooc> Ok, I'm here. Lol. You will love my entrance. Say goodbye to the Ultralisk thing. :)

ic> Kalgar's personal Thunderhawk was comming into the atmosphere with a guest aboard; Drazzar. They had their differences, but for some reason they had been friends for many years. Kalgar was a noble and honorable individual. Drazzar on the other hand, was a sadistic, evil creature. Yet Kalgar still associated with him. It was probobly because Kalgar thought that there was still hope for Drazzar. Or maybe he just found the Dark Eldar ammusing.

"Your always late, Kalgar," commented Drazzar from his brooding corner. "I should start traveling on my own."

"Oh, we're only about an hour late," replied Kalgar. "We should be fine."

"I don't know, Kalgar...you can run an empire and alliance, but you can't get to a tournament on time." Drazzar scoffed.

"Ah, we have entered the atmosphere," said Kalgar, changing the subject. He took over the manual controlls and took the fighter class gunship down. Upon nearing the arena, Kalgar detected the massive creature. "What the..."

"What are you talking about?" Drazzar asked, getting up.

"There is some large bio-creature causing some havoc down there." replied Kalgar.

"So, we are in a fully armed military craft. You should know what to do."

"But there are other people down there, I'm not sure if I could take the shot without hitting them," explained Kalgar. "Killing off half the contestants would not be a good entrance."

"Well," Drazzar began in cold humor. "it would appear that they are getting beaten anyways. Besides, if they were smart, they would get out of the way. You can even sound the attack siren to warn them..."

"That's true," said Kalgar with a sly smile. The thunderhawk flew down at a high speed, warning siren blaring. Kalgar made an attack run past the massive creature and unloaded 6 anti-matter seeker missiles into it before landing about 100 yards away.

OOC Dude seriously that was Kyou and Ceran's warm-up. God. No hard feelings though at least I know you are a Space Marine honorable to the Old Imperium. Of course Kyou and Ceran will be a little pissed.

IC
Ceran looked up as he saw the missles incoming and went, "Awww fuck!" He and Kyou quickly got out of range as the missles struck. They watched the missles strike the beast and watched the beast split asunder. They quickly ran to the landing zone and were ready to give the man who fired the missles a piece of their mind. They may be human but they could handle themselves in a fight against a couple Space Marines if they had too.

OOC: I'm not done yet, my beasts are really evil, you've got a bit of a surprise following you now.

It is based loosely on an ultralisk, but it's more like D&D's Tarrasque, on a smaller scale.

IC:

Had the pair remained they would have reacted in horror, the two pieces of the dead beast began to grow, each becoming a mirror image of the original, they were deadly, and they would feed, there were two of them now, it would take more than the two they had been fighting to satiate their hunger, especially after the regeneration.

The three, Miro, Keto and Ven, decided to seek out one of their hosts to see if they had a gymnasium.

ooc: Replied to your TG Dratheria.


They found Goolgh, and he led them to the salle, that should suffice for whatever they needed, it was large, slightly scorched through no fault of the owners, and otherwise in good condition.

The three began working out on the rings(Keto), uneven bars(Ven) and balance beam(Miro).

The three began working out on the rings(Keto), uneven bars(Ven) and balance beam(Miro).

Gologh watched, studying their movements, they were good, very good, for humans, but he could defeat them, although Kao and the others may have some trouble without his mental skills.

All three of them were aware of Gologh watching and continued to do their activities, though they were playing more than excersising.

All three of them were aware of Gologh watching and continued to do their activities, though they were playing more than excersising.

Their every action spoke volumes to Gologh, they probably did not realise just how much they revealed about themselves through their exercise, and that was another weakness to be used against them.

Kyou and Ceran looked back to see the twin beasts. They looked to each othe and only smiled. They ran forward at amazing speed and launched two Nova Kicks at each of the beasts. The kicks themselves were capable of cutting through the strongest Power Armor Dratheria had.

The beast roared in fury. He saw all the action going on outside, and raged against the shield.

OOC: It's not that simple to kill my critters, I never make anything easy, and if they can come back from a missile strike, what's a kick gonna do to them? They have a weakness, you just have to find it before they kill you.

Chitin shattered beneath the blows, but the beasts came on, they were engines of destruction, a little hole in the chest was no impediment to their hunger, they lashed out with their arms, bladed claws slashing towards the pair of fighters.

The beast roared in fury. He saw all the action going on outside, and raged against the shield.

The shield held against the Carnifexs battering, it would take more power than that beast posessed to break their defenses.

OOC I would request a special match from you for the tournament over TG.

IC
Kyou and Ceran dodged the strikes deftly. Kyou yelled, "Looks like these things are like the damn King of the Moon our ancestors killed! We'll need to use something a little stronger. What do you say we use some Shadow Skill!" Ceran agreed. With that they yelled their litanies in unison,"The courage and the soul that will defeat the fear that is in my mind. Give me wings! Give my Shadow Skill wings to fly forth." With that their muscles bulged and their speed and stregth quadrupled. Althoguh many wouldd think this their true power they still had a couple more levels to tap into. With that they moved so fast that the beast could not follow them with it's eyes. They delivered tank crushing kicks to the beasts. They moved back and yelled, "RAPIER!!!!" With that golden energy blades cut loose from their kicks and struck the chitin with enormous power. These were more powerful than before and would surely cut through their armor.

Seeing all the action once he arrived, he decided to finally make his appearance.

From the dark shadows of his newly landed organic pod. His head and body were that of a human, his dark greasy-gooy hair glimmering in the light, his barely covered human chest, not bulging, but had enough muscle to get by. His right arm was also human, long and thin, but the rest of him is what was different. His legs were that of his minions, beastily, so was his left arm. His left arm was covered in black chitin, long claws protruding from the hands, it was almost twice as thick as the human arm, and veyr oganic and veiny looking. His legs were also long, thick and had the same appearance as his left arm, also with long sleek claws, raising him one foot above normal height.

For those who were attuned with psi powers, this new being had massive raw psi powers. The problem was though, they were completely unharnessed, and he had no control over them what so ever.

He walked slowly to the center of one arena ring, and looked around, looking confused, buut interested, all the same.

OOC:
Weight: 320 LB's.
Height: 6' 9"
Name: King Nerasfatu
Abilities: shear strength and claws.

Seeing all the action once he arrived, he decided to finally make his appearance.

From the dark shadows of his newly landed organic pod. His head and body were that of a human, his dark greasy-gooy hair glimmering in the light, his barely covered human chest, not bulging, but had enough muscle to get by. His right arm was also human, long and thin, but the rest of him is what was different. His legs were that of his minions, beastily, so was his left arm.

OOC: Ok, we can do this, easily.

IC:

Kentas had ben in the arena when the final competitor arrived, he had felt the power coming towards them and had gone to greet the final entrant in the tournament. "Entaro Adun, I will show you to your room, and then to the lounge if you like, if not you may go to see the other competitor from your nation or remain in your room until the feast begins."

OOC I would request a special match from you for the tournament over TG.

IC
Kyou and Ceran dodged the strikes deftly. Kyou yelled, "Looks like these things are like the damn King of the Moon our ancestors killed! We'll need to use something a little stronger. What do you say we use some Shadow Skill!" Ceran agreed. With that they yelled their litanies in unison,"The courage and the soul that will defeat the fear that is in my mind. Give me wings! Give my Shadow Skill wings to fly forth." With that their muscles bulged and their speed and stregth quadrupled. Althoguh many wouldd think this their true power they still had a couple more levels to tap into. With that they moved so fast that the beast could not follow them with it's eyes. They delivered tank crushing kicks to the beasts. They moved back and yelled, "RAPIER!!!!" With that golden energy blades cut loose from their kicks and struck the chitin with enormous power. These were more powerful than before and would surely cut through their armor.

OOC: I'm going to assume that your shadow skill will have the same effect as Dark Templars powers would.

Armor crumpled beneath the points, one leg hung useless on the first, on the second there was simply a hole in its upper arm, and the wounds were not healing this time.

He stared at the protoss, then glanced at one of his Queen's minions in the forcefield. The beast, sensing the proximity of the King, settled down once again, and helplessly looked at the king for help.

He turned back to the protoss and spoke, his voice sounding as iff 10 people in a crowd speaking at the same time.

"I wish my minion released. He will be in good standing aslong as I am near him. Then we shall head to my quarters, being."

"He was unruly when he arrived, how can we know he will not become so again if you are defeated, I will ask but I think it unlikely that he will be released for any great amount of time."

His voice now had a hint of anger, though it looked like this emotion was a bit new to him.

"I do not intend to die, release my minion, he will be fine."

His voice now had a hint of anger, though it looked like this emotion was a bit new to him.

"I do not intend to die, release my minion, he will be fine."

"I have said that I will ask, I can do no more until I am told that he may be released, accept those limitations or leave."

"Then ask."

He turned on his heels and walked away softly, his claws making screeching sounds as they hit the floor.

"Then ask."

He turned on his heels and walked away softly, his claws making screeching sounds as they hit the floor.

Kentas did exactly as he said he would, and it was decided that the beast would be released probationally, if it caused any trouble, or if the king died, it would be returned to the cage.

OOC Never played the game where your critter comes from. There is Open Skill which concentrates on hands and throws then theres Shadow Skill which concentrates on foot attacks and body manuveurs. This style is more than it appears. If used correctly it can be the most devastating martial arts style in the universe. These are all from the Kuruda School in Kuruda City in the land of Julianus on the planet of Ashlianna. Look up Shadow Skill the anime.

IC
When they saw this damage done they charged forward and yelled in unison, "HELLFIRE KICK!!!" When the strike was finished the spirit flame would have spread through it's body cauterizing everything. Only they had learned to master this technique which usually can only be learnt by an Isumae warrior. As to why they can no one can explain. Many believe it came about when they went against the legendary Brimstone Dragons as children and were in dire need of a technique to finish one off. These were the Greatest Shadow Skill Warriors alive. They were Ceran Bane the Sevalle of the Howling and Kyou Ragu the Brimstone Sevalle.

OOC: My critter is bastardized SC\D&D mix, it came from 2 games, and I'm surprised you've never played either.

IC:

The one beast was destroyed by the attack, the one with the injured arm survived, they gained immunity to the skills trhat had been used on each other, and to the ones used on themselves, the attacks would only work once, and the beast kept up the attack, lashing out with its claws and tail at the two morsels before it.

OOC I've read some D&D and I haven't played Starcraft yet I have played Warcraft though.

IC
They cheered as the first went down so they decided to do a double effort. Ceran jumped up and yelled, "SOLAR FLARE!!!" With that a flash of light as bright as the sun blinded the beast as Kyou ran up and used the Open Skill Flay. With that purple energy issued from her hand in the form of three super hot blades. They cut at the wound on the the remaining beast and would surely travel through the soft innards of the beast killing it.

OOC: You poor deprived child.

IC:

The beast was confused, why was the food making flashy lights, it saw by infravision, bright light couldn't hurt it, but the flaying blades could, ripping away at flesh and armor, but still leaving it alive, and in range to hit back, which it did, striking with its bladed arms at the prey.

OOC I know but not many people in nowheresville Iowa play D&D. And I just don't play many comp games nemore. I TGed you.

IC
Kyou was careless and caught the edge of one of the creature's blades. Although it only left a small laceration on her arm she was pissed. She ran faster than the beast could track. She ran right over its head and dived into one of the wounds on it's back. In there she used the Four Point Tornado. When it was used each of her limbs became a blade of energy and she spun around at tornadic speeds creating a tornado of deadly blades.

IC:

The blades finally killed it, eviscerating it like a gutted chicken, and destroying its ability to recover.

OOC lmao Probably

IC
Kyou stepped out from inside the gutted beast covered in entrails. She stood there and finally said, "Well this registers about a 9.3 on my gross-o-meter." They walked back to their room to their room to clean up. Kyou took off her clothes and got into the shower meticulously cleaning her body of the entrails and blood. She then got ut and redressed into her battle gear and robes. She went out to where Ceran was and they looked at each other and laughed. Finally Ceran spoke up, "Well let's get that injury healed. Then we can go back down to the lounge." Ceran produced a black cube that glowed a blue aura and held it over Kyou's injury, within a few seconds the wound had completely healed leaving no scar or hint of the aforementioned injury. With that they quietly walked back down to the lounge to join Darsa and Jin.

Elsewhere Yuri watched the Great Carnifex being taken out of it's cage and wondered how powerful this one was.

Krowaden looked down at his axe, it was a shame that his brother had betrayed him but these things happened, it was not the time to dwell on it, he got up and began to wander the area once more.

As Krowaden rose from his seat Tokas was entering the lounge to announce the beginning of the feast, now that the representatives of all the participating nations had arrived the ritual could begin.

The Kuruda warriors all assembled and followed the Protoss warrior to the feast.

Krowaden began to follow everyone, he wondered where they were going for he had not been listening to the Protoss Warrior.

The feast was held in The Arena, sio that the warriors of ages past could look down on them and judge the most worthy of victory, the one they selected would get their aid in the combat to come.

Thaler followed, and his colleague came out from his room for the feast. Bakay, an elf, had a Mauser C96 handgun like Thaler, but he also had a dagger at his ankle. The elf didn't say much as he followed his superior for the moment.

The interesting thing Thaler did was test the ground. When Bakay saw, he spoke quietly.

"Going to dig a foxhole?"

"No, trying to see if something would work."

OOC: Is the ground more sandy or is it paved?

Nerasfatu walked out into the arena, where the feast was being held. Right on his clawed heels, his minion, the great beast followed behind, lumbering a full 7 feet taller than him.

The beast seemed extremely calm, not even growling on any of the other competitors, totalyl focussing on his master infront of him.

Nerasfatu looked around at the others in the arena, taking on all these wonderful new species. He was dying to learn more.

As the othered went past the door, the three flipped off their different equipements and followed to the arena. "So what's up?" Miro asked the nearest native.

OOC: Is the ground more sandy or is it paved?

OOC: Hard earth, not sandy, but not paved either.

IC:

Kentas adressed the human, "What are you doing, we are here to eat, not dig in the ground like children."

Tokas and Gologh were passing around a drink that went along with the ritual of the feast, each contestant must partake of the drink or be unable to fight, the warriors of the past would see to that.

Nerasfatu took a glass of the drink and peered into it.

He took a small sip, then splashed the rest upto his minion, who lashed out with his jaws and got what he could of the drink.

Krowaden took the drink, the idea of possibly alcoholic drink was a good one at the moment.

"My apologies."

Thaler then sat down and Bakay chuckled a bit, sitting down beside him. The old human borderguard then saw the drink going around. He then took the glass and drank it in one go. Bakay, on the other hand, sipped at it like some aristocrat out of hell.

As the othered went past the door, the three flipped off their different equipements and followed to the arena. "So what's up?" Miro asked the nearest native.

"The Feast and the Choosing are beginning, take this drink, it will select your opponent for the first round, you will know who you are to fight once you have drunk it, then the Choosing occurs, the warriors of ages past will select a champion they deem worthy of their aid, the current champion is never selected for this honor, but beware, just because the warriors select you does not garauntee victory.."

OOC: I'll tell everyone who they're fighting, don't worry.

The three took the drinks and had a small drink from their glasses.

Krowaden threw back the cup, pouring the drink down his throat most ending up in his thick beard.

The various beings in the Arena are overwhelmed by questions in their minds, and when the questions are answered, the selections are made, each person has had the knowledge of who their opponent will be implanted in their mind, for Miro the opponent is Gologh, for Keto it is Krowaden, Ven and Reinhardt Thaler, Kao will face the Carnifex, Wraith and Yuri are paired against each other, Hain and Darsa will meet in the Arena, Skrah and Kyou face off, Drazzar and Kentas oppose each other, Winder and Ceran go against each other, Kalgar and Jin are the final pair, and one person remains unchosen for an opponent, Nerasfatu is the only one who does not have a foe, because his foe is not yet there, Nerasfatu has been selected by the Warriors as worthy for their aid, and his opponent will be a living legend, a mighty Dark Templar, Zeratul will face the Chosen of the Warriors.

The Kuruda Warriors graciously drank of the drink and removed their robes. Ceran was dressed in Brimstone Dragon Armor (http://www.saiyan.ch/images/medieval-laiyos-1024.jpg) as was Kyou. Darsa and Jin were dressed in Nova Dragon Armor (http://azul.space-kitten.org/Misc/azazel_armor-copy02.jpg). And finally Yuri removed his robes and underneath he was wearing Dratherian Power Armor (http://people.clarkson.edu/~stewarja/tc214/pics/power-armor.jpg) which was an improvement over the Space Marine Mark VIII Power Armor. They sat down and Yuri offered a drink for everyone to drink saying, "This drink is a traditional ale of my people known as Knockyouonyourass because of the higher constitution for alchohol of the Dratherians, Ferans, Space Marines etc. this ale is a stronger ale than most as strong as the old earth vodka but it tastes like cherries. But I offer a bottle of this to everyone in show of friendly competition." With that The Kuruda warriors sat down and waited for the feast to begin. However Yuri walked up to Kalgar and asked a question, "What Chapter do you hail from?"

Krowadan knocked back the strong alcoholic drink with no problems, he found it to be not quite as strong as Kendwina Ale, but it was still strong enough for him to be sent quite dizzy.

Miro, Ven and Keto politely turned the offer of the alcoholic drinks down.

Nerasfatu looked up at his minion and sighed. He roughly but seemingly loving patted it on the leg.

"Fight well, my child."

The table was set with a great feast, many exotic foods were there, some from Aiur, some from the far away Korprulu cluster, some even from the Dark Templar Sanctuary of Khalashai, not their home, but a wild sanctuary on the edge of known space, when the tables were ready the fighters were invited to eat their fill, except for the carnifex, the carnifex got a pair of very large Rhinotaurs, so that it would not eat everything else on the table.

OOC You left out Ceran :(

IC
The warriors ate their fill and drank heartily although they knew this was a time of sorrow they also saw it as a time of celebration because tommorrow they would be fighting to honor these dead warriors. Yuri and Jin were most excited because in their culture combat was on of the best ways to get close to the great warriors, loved ones, and the Creator.

Nerasfatu sat down at the large table, and looked at the food strewn before him. He politely took an eating untencil with his right arm, and forked food onto his plate. With his left arm's claws, he cut what needed to be cut, and ate.

The carnifex on the other hand was not so polite. With a scream it tore into the large beasts before it, and was very messy about it.

Miro, Keto and Ven began filling their plates, thought they were carefull in their selections.

ooc> BTW, I am very different than the 40k imperium. The space marine traits are similar, but my technology is far more advanced and I take things from many other sources.

ic> Kalgar swooped back and landed the craft. After seeing the beast still fight on after that attack, Drazzar was a little ammused.

"You should have used the Heavy laser battery Kalgar," said Drazzar. "I think you are losing your touch."

"Not at all," retorted kalgar. "I just need to put better missiles on this relic. Ha. But I digress, my friend. Shall we?"

Kalgar led the way off the Thunderhawk as they went to join the others.

As the feast progressed, both Kalgar and Drazzar were gifted with the visions of their opponants. Kalgar took some time to condition his mind. He was interrupted, however. Kalgar looked up to answer yuri's question.

"I am not a space marine as you know of them," replied Kalgar. "I do possess their physical abilities, but the gene seeds of Gronde are pure and our weapons more advanced. I do not hail from any chapter, not even those of my own nation. We have no connection to the old imperium. All that we have is what was taken from our father nation hundreds of years ago." Kalgar had his favorate black trench-coat on. He straitened it out as he turned to face Yuri.

OOC: Who's nation's people is my carni figithing? I don't recall any of those names.

OOC: Who's nation's people is my carni figithing? I don't recall any of those names.

OOC: The Carnifex fights last years second place, my guy Kao.

The 5 protoss began filling their plates, picking the best foods from the selection available, then they gathered together to eat and discuss their opponents.

OOC What about Ceran?

OOC: Ceran has a fight.

OOC With who?

ooc: Winder and Ceran go against each other

OOC: Winder, one of Obsideo's people.

Once everyone haqd eaten their fill it was time to return to their rooms, or the lounge if they preferred, the next day the combat would begin, and they would all need rest before their fights.

The Kuruda warriors were done celebrating and excused themselves from the feast and returned to their rooms. In there they mourned for long gone comrades and family members. However one had an even deeper thing to mourn and seeth on. Jin sat in one corner of the room sharpening his sword and claws. Deep in his mind he mourned for his sister, mother, and father. All were warriors of the highest order who were slain by Isala the Red. Isala the Red was a demon that had controlled a planet in the Vega System. They went there to kill it although his parents and sister were Dratherian he was the next step in the evolution, he was Feran. They went into combat and his parents were killed swiftly and he was chained up and forced to watch him torture his sister to death. Jin managed to get free from his bonds in time to hold his sister in his arms as she died. Ever since he has been trying to track down that demon so that he could get his revenge. He even went so far as to train with the Septia Phantom Squad. Although most of them were killed, Kyou Ryu survived and went on to train even more Phantom Squad Members after her travels with Elle Ragu and Gau Bane.

The protoss fighters followed soon after, retiring to their respective rooms in the barracks.

Thaler sat at a chair in the lounge as his friend Bakay passed by. The elf said nothing when he walked to their room in the barracks. Thaler was completely unprepared for an individual fight and now this thought crystalized. Others were coming in with powers beyond his comprehension and he had nothing to compare. The most he could do would be die beautifully. Sleep easily escaped him with these thoughts in his mind. Only after several hours did he sleep, and not in bed, but in a chair in a lounge.

The three headed back to their rooms, and fell asleep.

The Kuruda Warriors woke up early the next morning and began their calisthenics in the nearby woods. It was in this way that they would become fully ready for the oncoming fights. They quickly assembled and used the data terminals to gain information on their opponents. They then went to the arena to wait for their opponents.

The original five protoss were delayed in reaching the arena, they had to get Zeratul from his dwelling in the Citadel, but they arrived in a reasonable time, and exlained that only one pair would fight at a time, the rest would watch, or not, as they pleased, the first battle would be the Chosen one and Zeratul, then Kao and the Carnifex, then Skrah and Kyou, then Jin and Kalgar, Drazzar and Kentas, and so on down the line until Gologh had his first match.

Nerasfatu and his minion walked into the arena. They had wandered around the area all night, not sleeping, but gathering in this wonderful new exotic place.

Nerasfatu and the carinifex walked to the side of the arena, and waited.

Once all of the fighters were assembled, and the Conclave was ready, the combat couild begin, but they had a little while more to wait for both fighters and Conclave to appear.

Miro, Ven and Keto woke and headed down to the arena.

There were only a few fighters left to assemble, the two from Gronde, and Thaler, and Krowaden, then it could begin.

Thaler slowly got up from his chair, rubbing his eyes a bit. He had been awakened by the stirring. He walked to the arena giving the impression that he obviously was tired and completely unprepared.

Only Krowaden had yet to arrive, but when he got there the fights would begin, starting as soon as the Conclave gave the word.

OOC What does this arena loook like?

OOC What does this arena loook like?

OOC: Bigger than a football field, about 2-250 yards in diameter, made from that wierd yellow material the Protoss are so fond of, has very little in the way of seating, the only spectators are the Conclave, who judge accusations of cheating by the entrees, hard packed earth for the ground, only 6' walls, mostly protected by shields, the spectators watch from a heavily shielded VIP box type affair, and the rest is all arena support areas, medical stations, weapons depots, etc.

Yes, your characters may have any weapon available in the Depots short of an ubergun(in other words, pick any weapon you want, I'll have it for you to use).

Krowaden arrived, he was recovering from a hangover, but he was always ready to fight


(OOC: any power axes, what about steroids?)

Krowaden arrived, he was recovering from a hangover, but he was always ready to fight


(OOC: any power axes, what about steroids?)

OOC: anything short of a tank, or tyhe like, just RP getting it from the depot.

IC:

Now that Krowaden was here they could begin, the Conclave gave the traditional opening, in High Protoss, a language that even the protoss fighters didn't understand very well, it was basically a warning to not cheat, and that the warriors of the past would deal with you if you did, then the fighting was allowed to start, Zeratul took his place in the center of the arena on the combatants line.

OOC So is there a place for our guys to sit. My guys have their own specialized swords only crafted on Ashlianna. It allows them to focus Kuruda into the sword. And Yuri has his twin Harconan Magnums and Power Armor.

IC
Yuri walked over to Krowaden and offered him his healing device so that he would be in prime condition for the fight.

OOC So who has Zertual and the Chosen One I don't see them on the sign-up

ooc: Mini had Zertual and whoever has Nerasfatu is his opponent as Nerasfatu is the Chosen.

OOC So we have to wait for Azaha

ic> Kalgar and Drazzar, even though they were the last to arrive, were two of the first to leave the feast. They both opted to stay in the Thunderhawk instead of the rooms provided. The craft had already been converted into a dojo. The two of them spared a few rounds before checking their equipment. Drazzar had countless little toys and weapons that could not be listed. Hung his trenchcoat and got his staff and katana ready. Afterwards, they both did their pre-battle meditation to prepare themselves. They would be ready in time for the first round.

OOC What types of weapons do you have in the depot?

OOC: Long and short: All of them, melee, ranged, high FT, medieval pikes, whatever you want, I probably have it.

OOC Lets get the show started.

OOC: If you can find Azaha we can, if he doesn't post by 3 eastern I'm skipping his first fights and going on to the next ones.

OOC So about 38 minutes. I think he wanted him to be kinda like a humanoid Hive Mind and as such prolly didn't want him to fight.

OOC So about 38 minutes. I think he wanted him to be kinda like a humanoid Hive Mind and as such prolly didn't want him to fight.
OOC: No, he asked me if he could add a humanoid combatant, and I said he could, because I had plans for this fight, now my plans are out the window.

OOC K So who is next up

OOC: Looks like Skrah and Kyou.

OOC Cool Kyou vs. Skrah so will we start @ 3

OOC Cool Kyou vs. Skrah so will we start @ 3

OOC: indeed, you may start RPing the fight at 3, in about two minutes.

IC:

Zeratuls opponent had failed to appear, he left the arena, disgusted with his erstwhile foe.

Kyou walked to the arena wearing shackles on her arms and wearing a combat suit. She bit her thumb till she drew blood and using the blood painted a stripe on her left cheek. And she started saying a litany, "The courage and the soul that will defeat the fear that is in my mind. Give me wings! Give my Shadow Skill wings to fly forth." With that she glowed golden and her supple muscles bulged and she became stronger than a normal human. She than waited for Skrah to enter the ring and readied herself using bonecrushing kicks to warm-up.

Crap, damn, feck, sorry, I am soooo sorry.

RL problems arose and I needed to deal with them.

I'd be happy to wait my turn or somthing, or even get kicked from the tourny, I'd understand if I was.

Well, I think that Skrah has gone missing too, as it seems, has everyone but us, I'll see what Dratheria says, then we'll decide what to do, sound good?

OOC I say lets just have our own faceoffs pair us all up for the fights.

ooc> I'm still here. Dratheria and I can fight two rounds (for each of out characters) while we wait for the stragglers to be rounded up.

I'm here as well.

I'm here.

OOC I say lets just have our own faceoffs pair us all up for the fights.

OOC: Go for it, I'm getting tired of people just disappearing in the middle of a thread, anybody wants to challenge my guys, just gimme a holler.

I will make a new thread for Drath and I to RP our match in about an hour.

And here it is Dratheria:
