Stratski: Uh oh, are we gonna get interrupted then? Vance: Think of it this way, we can at least get a break from this fic. The Final Fight Stratski: I'd get the champagne out, but this isn't the final anything, I'm sure. Vance: Popcorn? Helmholz: No, it'll just come up later. I charged forward, crying into the chilling air as I prepared to strike. Lunging, my weapon clashed with his, causing a crash of metal and a shower of sparks. Pushing forward, our weapons met again, as a shower of sparks rained from our rage. Vance: Oooh, rained from our rage. Stratski: Never piss off Mary Sue, man. I backed up again, raising my weapon for another assault. We moved in a circle, each waiting for the other to attack. Vance: Why wait? Stratski: Reeeach out, reach out and touch someone! Then I took my chances and lunged again. This time my weapon connected, cutting his black tunic, leaving a gash across his chest. Looking down at his crimson soaked wound, he sneered then flew at me, sword raised. I ducked, raising my weapon in defense. Helmholz: Shall I out now or later how this isn't that feasible? Stratski: Later. Our blades connected again, sending another shower of sparks into the air. Vance: That's a lotta sparks flying around. Helmholz: The redundency of the moment. The sound or our weapons clashing filled the room, as the water rushed around our shuffling feet. He again tried to push forward, causing me to block in defense. Backing up again I moved with him, trying to anticipate his next attack. And I felt him surround me. His taunting laugh causing the rage inside me to flourish. Vance: She's gonna blow! Everybody duck! All: *duck* : He's a sentient cloud of flatulence, then. Deafened you are, and powerless against the tentacles of nausea. @.@ realitydefiler: flourish? she suddenly gained some sort of increase in something (preferably her writing skills) by his laugh? Then I felt Link calling to me in my mind, heard him telling me what to do. But because of the fiery rage that was running All: threw threw me, his voice sounded muffled and distant. As the evil being moved around me, I felt the chilling air he was generating move across my skin. I eyed his every move, waiting for the right moment to strike. His blood red eyes watched me, the flames of a fire seemed to flicker in them. His weapon moved with such grace and his moves like that of a striking tiger. Vance: *munches on popcorn* Here we go with the redundancies again. And while we're at it, when do weapons move of their own accord? Though I waited, waited for the right moment. "Well aren't you going to attack, or are you afraid?" Dark Link snickered as his hand gestured for me to come forth. "Afraid of you!?" "Your more of a fool then I thought." Helmholz: Yes, indeed, we can't disagree with that. "You surprise me Dark Link." "I thought you said you were going to show me just how rough you can play." A small smile crossed my face as I saw the burning rage twist Dark Link's face. "Be careful of what you wish for." "Cause you might just GET IT!" Stratski: We definitely did not wish for this. Vance: Yet we got it anyway. Dark Link's face twisted into a vicious smile as he lunged forward again. Raising my weapon again, I prepared to defend myself. A sudden flash of metal blazed as my weapon met his. realitydefiler: ooh, that must be painful, twisting into a vicious smile and all. I wonder if he's going to need some ice for that later. bastardized: SHE'S AN EXOTICALLY PIERCED SHE-MAN. C_C_ ... Ow. e_e Using all my strength, I fought to push his sword back. My wrists started to buckle under the immense power that Dark Link was putting into his sword, as he tried to pin me under it. I felt my heart starting to beat faster, felt sweat beading my face. I continued to push forward, forcing my all into my only hope, my Phoenix Circles. "Your weak Jenna." Stratski: Does he mean this is her week or that she's weak? Vance: Wouldn't know, she's good at making you wonder. "Why don't you just surrender to me and I will go easy on you." "The hope your holding onto is not going to save you now." Dark Link said bitterly, thrusting his sword forward, pushing it closer to my throat. "You infidel!" "I will never concede to the likes of you!" I spat, my eyes narrowing. "Then die bitch!" Vance: Woo hoo! Go Dark Link! Stratski: Save us from this awful Mary Sue, please! Helmholz: How can you guys follow that? It sounds almost like she's telling herself to die there. With a swift move of his sword, Dark Link knocked my Phoenix Circles out of my hands, sending them flying across the room. With a gasp, I backed up only to be met by a swift kick to my legs, sending me crashing to the floor and sending a spray of water into the air. I watched as the twisted figure of Link loomed over me, sword pointed at my throat. Vance: Yes, kill her! With another sinister laugh, he grabbed me by the tunic and threw me across the room, sending me flying across the water and into the twisted tree. With a loud thud, I fell to the ground, stunned and hurt. Trying to shake off the pain I was now feeling, I opened my eyes only to see Dark Link, advancing on his counter part. Helmholz: Oh come on. He wanted to kill her, so why is he letting her go now? Stratski: *sigh* We forgot... All: This is a Mary Sue. With one last look back at me, his blood red eyes flickered with and evil glow as a sinister smile crossed his face. "Nothing is going to save both of you now." Vance: But something might save one of them? His chilling laugh filled the room again, causing it to ring in my ears. Dazed, I looked around the room and saw my Phoenix Circles just a few feet from where I sat. Helmholz: Of course. Reach for them, Mary Sue. We know you're going to. Vance: Bah, this sucks. I tried to get up, but my leg was hurt badly, so I fell back down. Stratski: Help, I've fallen and I can't get up! Vance: Help, I'm reading a Mary Sue and I can't stop! Trying to drag myself, I got with in arms length of them, when a sudden flash of metal knocked my weapons further away. Helmholz: That's one powerful flash, that's for sure. I looked up and saw Dark Link standing over me. "Ah...ah...ah...I cannot have you retrieve your weapons now can I?" He said in a sinister laugh as he waved a finger in front of him. "Now get back to where you were!" He said as his foot connected me in the jaw, causing me to fly back into the twisted tree. "Now stay put this time, I will be back for you shortly!" He screeched as he turned and strode back towards Link. Helmholz: You know she won't. Stratski: Of course not, she'll either rescue Link, or he'll rescue her like the helpless thing that she is.
