Title: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on March 28, 2016, 11:43:57 pm
Spoiler: Story (click to show/hide)

Bit long winded, but it works. Welcome to my 3rd ever forum game, and the first forum game I'm GMing on Bay12! I've gotten permission from TCM, who is currently GMing a Wiki Warfare that I'm playing, and still will play, to do this. The only thing I have to do is make it different, so I've added two things, and have changed 2 others!

Change #1: I'm adding a storyline that will be affected as the rounds go on, and the world gets progressively ravaged by the war. The story above is the end result, but things that change within the game will be affected by past games. E.G.: Increased security, weapons checks in populated areas, Natural Disasters spontaneously appearing due to past events etc.

Change #2: There will be a rotation of 4 game modes for each round, which will be decided by the roll of a D4. They will be:


Change #3: Prizes. If you win the gamemode, you will get a prize, which will shape future rounds. One of 3 prizes will be provided:

Change #4: Sub Wikis. The change that I thought of 1st. Now don't get me wrong, I like-no, LOVE the fact that TCM only uses Wikipedia Articles, because it means less chance of a snub article, and thus more items and stat boosts that can be attained. However, this will also make this game more unique by having more substance in individual characters and locations from the work I sub-wiki. Besides, Main Wikipedia Articles will still be active, so having articles based on TV Tropes is entirely possible.

And with that, that's all the changes. Everything else will similarly to TCM's game(s). D10 for rolling during the conflict, 10 players, 5 articles per player. First Randomization will be the location. Killing someone allows for Kill Absorption, though how many articles you absorb I'm unsure of.

And with that, let's wait and see what comes up!

EDIT: Now with 48 hour Update Timer.

EDIT2: Discord will only be linked when someone asks. Expiration and all.

Players: 5/10
Subjects:Person, DolosusDoleus, PirateJoe, Failbird105, NRDL, GigaGiant

Waitlisters: 7/I don't know, infinite?
Subject: AbstractTraitorHero, 0cra_Tr0per, Rockeater, FallacyofUrist, Hiddenleafguy, Lord_lemonpie, TheBiggerFish

Match 1
Round 0: Introductions are in order
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:35 AM, Sunny Weather

In a sleepy village in Muqur, 10 young-ish challengers outfitted with various powers and items meet in the center of the village. Up in the sky, a pure black helicopter hovers above. There is only 1 pilot, and 2 passengers.

"HOO-WEE! Welcome, ya'll, to the Charon Channel! We're the only TV Channel and Radio Station to follow the lives of powerful men and women across the globe! Today, we're interviewing the 2 men responsible for the upcoming Grudge Match here in Badghis, Afghanistan! Ladies and Gentlemen, give a warm hand to Jesse P. Warner, and Logan D. "Jaws" Sawyer, as we all commentate on the match! How do ya'll do?" Jess spoke first, saying "Well, I'm perfectly good, Charon. I'm just waiting for these guys to kill themselves.". Jaws spoke next, saying "Calm down, Jess. We're here to see if this works, nothing else.".

As if a gunshot rang out at a raceway, the 10 Humans then charged at eachother, ready for the slaughter.

Oh carp tornadoes.  Things to Run Away From Really Quickly.  To the nearest basement!  Who thought tornadoes were a good idea?!

Save the Beatles if possible/necessary!

Take all proper actions to defend against being tornadoed or attacked.  Avoid retaliating.

"What is this madness?! We turn to violence so easy even as we are stuck in this war torn country! If anyone wants to try and leave for greener pastures, sheathe your swords and guns! If you try to harm me I shall strike you down! Now, to get away from this damned weather!" Reluctantly, the King draws out his clean sword.

Run for cover in the sturdiest place around, (building, cave, etc.) and wait for the tornadoes to subside. Allow anyone to follow me unarmed, but if they approach with a weapon out (or try to strike at me unarmed) give them a 6-inch deep wound with my blade.

((I noticed that you labeled the royal blade as unused since King Gahindiro was known as a King of peace, that's good attention to detail.))

"Oh man... What happened last ni- HOLY SH** TORNADOES!!!"

A small man wearing a coat observes the others and upon seeing the Tornadoes promptly shits himself and runs away screaming to the nearest body of water, if there isn't one he'll jump into the nearest well, and Use his Ability: The Ocean, My Home.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 1: Assumptions of Nature's Wrath
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:35 AM, Sunny Weather

After the invisible gunshot rang out, all of the contestants sprang to life.

NRDL runs into a nearby house, putting a finger up to his lips to silence the residents: a Mother, and 2 children.

"Looks like this place is about to get Helter Skelter." With some of the locals giving confusing nods, birdy51 suddenly points to piratejoe, and with deadly defiance, yells out "YOU ARE THE EGGMAN, I AM THE WALRUS!" (4+1) While the yell stopped pirate in his tracks, it didn't do much else. birdy then pulls out his guitar, and and attempts to strum out a summoning spell. (3+2) Halfway as effective as it needs to be, birdy still summons all 4 Beatles, but they don't have their instrument, nor weapons of any kind. "Hey, guys?" John said "Where are we, and where'd our gear go?". The other Beatles shook their heads in confusion.

Hawk bursts to life, running toward the nearest library looking area. (6) He finds a slightly decrepit library, no computers or the like, but what they do have is writing utensils, paper, and around 100-125 books, at least from Hawk's estimation. He snatches some paper, and a pencil, and sits down, about to begin his epic.

UR looks around for a Wiki-Warrior close by and sees the very rocking birdy about to prepare a sick beat with his friends, the Beatles. Sicks beats have to wait, as a Volleyball is coming right for him! (8+2 v. 10) Without even turning around, birdy punches it out of the air. What he does turn around for, is the primal yell let loose by UR, as they charge at birdy. (10+1 [Ice Hockey Bonus] v. 6) A loud crack can be heard, as birdy's kneecap quite suddenly dislocates, leading to him falling right down.

Beirus prays to God to a champion (Roll-less) and out comes a Bishop, carrying a sword, with a golden Cross as the hilt. "Brother Beirus? It is I, Brother Aswell! It is good to see you!" He then pulls out his sword, ready for conflict.

"Guess what? You're all going to DIE today, and there's nothing you can do about it!" piratejoe lets out, as he prepares to tornado this place this up! Suddenly, 2 very large tuning funnels of wind and cloud circle forth. While the Helicopter is unflinching, every citizen of the village, men, women, children, animals, all of them run into their houses, locking the door and hiding. They hit (6+1) accurately, hitting the house NRDL's at, and the library where Hawk is working. (1 v 6) NRDL, the residents, and the house are all unscathed, however, only some furniture falling over. (2 v 8) Yet again, the tornado barely does anything to Hawk's library, if it did anything at all.

The tornadoes do NOT dissipate, however, leading to the long coversation between TCM, TheBiggerFish, and Beirus and Aswell. All of them agreeing, they run into a house away from the tornado, but not before TheBiggerFish yells at the Chopper "ALSO, PEOPLE IN THE HELICOPTER, ARE YOU INSANE GET OUT OF HERE THERE ARE TORNADOES GOOD GRIEF."

DigitalDemon looks at the tornadoes for all of 2 seconds before forming his plan. (3) Despite having the powers of a water God, he cannot manipulate the water, as it's surrounded by a construct of Wind Magic. He then dives under a table.

Ardent Debater looks at the tornadoes, and then feels the urge to run! He attempts to find the nearest source of water, but after some basic science and a bit of Insane Troll Logic, he soon realizes that the nearest source is the...tornado. Huh. He takes a second to reconsider.


"ALSO, PEOPLE IN THE HELICOPTER, ARE YOU INSANE GET OUT OF HERE THERE ARE TORNADOES GOOD GRIEF." Jess and Jaws stop their interview for a second, Jess saying "Did someone just interrupt me?" Before anyone can act or say a word, Jess suddenly pulls out his 44. Magnum and opens the Helicopter door. (7 v 2) TheBiggerFish suddenly collapses onto his knees, a bullet wound in his stomach. Jess, feeling satisfied, closes the door and continues the interview.

The 2 Tornadoes (9) continue their warpath, this time both of them about to hit the area around UR, birdy, John, Paul, George, and Ringo. (10 v 8) The Hockey Stick is suddenly ripped from UR's hands as the tornado absorbs it, followed by the other tornado (4 v 10) getting rocked by the downed birdy, and dissipating.

Keep out of the way of the tornadoes.

Barricade self in library. Begin writing a novel detailing how all 9 of my opponents were wiped from existence a meteor storm fell upon Badghis (with the exception of the library I'm in). Make it so that a quarter or so of the meteors have a supernatural grudge against musicians. That should be less lethal and more dodge-able than getting erased.

@Hawk132: Yeah, I should have thought about how overpowered that ability might get. You can still manipulate reality, but no instant win conditions. Out of Universe, that would be quite unfair, and In-Universe, Mr. Warner might just execute you after the match (which I find funny, since in TCM's game, you're helping me kill a guy named Execute.) What you can do is still very powerful things, for example "I write a novel about how I meditated and got a free article." Or, "I write a novel about how (player's name) broke both their legs due to (event)." Things like that. Still very powerful, and fun to see what you come up with.

EDIT: That IS appropriately Cataclysmic and Apocalyptic, yeah. I love it!

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 2: From Bad to Worse
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:36 PM, Sunny Weather

Hawk begins writing his Deadly Epic about how Muqur was destroyed by a legion of Meteors, adding in the caveat that around a fourth of them target exclusively Musicians. (1) Suddenly, the library rocks due to Gale Force Winds the tornadoes are putting off, causing Hawk's papers to fly away from him! They float out the door, only for several of them to get visibly shredded.

Speaking of Shredding, PirateJoe attempts more destruction, while playing a sick guitar solo! (Guitar: 1+1) He plays a terrible riff, before slinging the guitar back over his back. Then, with several gestures and an incantation spoken in several languages, some of which haven't been heard by human ears in millennia, he attempts to use more Wind Magic to summon more Tornadoes! (10+1) He summons at least 11, and at most 13 tornadoes that ransack several locations! They hit (3) 3 separate Wiki Warriors, doing variable amounts of damage.
(3 v 2) One of the tornadoes attacks Birdy51, and the Beatles! A piece of debris from the tornadoes hits Birdy in the broken kneecap, doing quite a bit more damage.
(7 v 9) Then, a couple more hit UR's location, but they dodge through the hostile winds, back towards Birdy, who is in heavy amounts of pain, screaming out a bloodcurdling yell that even reaches the Charon Channel Helicopter!
(4 v 4) Finally, the majority of the Tornadoes attempt to hit the house where TCM, Beirus, Brother Aswell, a family of 4, and the injured TheBiggerFish are at. However, in what seems like a miracle, the tornadoes actually hit eachother, and then dissipate.

Birdy, formulating their plan of escape, puts it into action. He gives George his guitar, with the instruction to use Magic to destroy the tornadoes. George actually tries this right then and there, despite the consensus that Ringo is the weird one, (7) And it actually works to destroy the tornadoes! Or at least the ones near them and UR. Then, per his instructions, John and Paul carry him into a nearby house, or were about to if they weren't interrupted by Ringo's job...

...Of blocking UR's attack! (6 v 10) UR attempts several kicks, only for Ringo to dodge them, and then attempt strikes of his own! (2 v 6) He attempts several high grade martial arts moves, only for UR to Indiana Jones him, and just punch him, knocking Ringo out cold. Seeing their downed Beatle, they sprint forward, throwing Birdy into a house and lock the door, before preparing to fight back against UR.

DigitalDemon attempts to find a large body of Water, though the only two things he can get to in a village like this is the local well, and the giant friggin' tornado. Decided to, you know, live, he goes toward the well, jumps inside. This'll provide some cover.

"Listen, Miss, I can help you and your children. I know that nature is against us, and I know that human beings are causing it. But, I need a question answered before I can help. Do you know where the Comic Books are?", asks NRDL. (10) The Mother leads NRDL to her children's bedroom, which, to his shock and glee, is filled with several comic books. Two Comics that stand out are http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/JLA:_Year_One_Vol_1_8 (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/JLA:_Year_One_Vol_1_8) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_One_More_Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_One_More_Day). NRDL looks at these, and the maybe hundreds more in the room, and ponders which one to take.

"It is good to see you, also, Brother Aswell. But I do not think that we have the ability to stop this weather. Would you join me in petitioning our Lord and God for assistance in this matter?" Aswell does a quick nod, and the two of them pray in an attempt to stop this matter once and for all. (3 v 6) With PirateJoe, after seeing the chaos he has done, he is suddenly spooked by a bolt of lightning hitting a tree nearby, but it otherwise does nothing. Shaking his head, he brings out the guitar again.

After getting shot in the stomach by Jess Warner and having freak weather nearly kill him, TheBiggerFish could have had a better day. He shapeshifts into a Beetle, not a Beatle we already have 4 of them, and a 44. Magnum round falls out of his stomach. He shapeshifts back into Human form, only to see he's still bleeding. Though it is light bleeding, he still might want bandaging.

Ardent sprints forward toward the tallest building in town, and prepares to make a grand speech to rally the people into killing the competition. (8) "Good townspeople of this sleepy village in Muqur. I ask one thing. Why? Why are you in your homes, worrying more about self-preservation that stopping the people killing your families! Your friends! The people who love and care about you, and who you love and care about right back! NO MORE! I, Ardent Debater, will not stand for unnecessary death any longer! Townspeople, join me in ending the lives of those who are ending lives right now! WHO'S WITH ME!? " The Townspeople burst out of their homes, cheering in applause. They rush into the building, which happens to be a workshop area, and they begin crafting Pitchforks, Knives, and other assorted weaponry, all in the name of ending this conflict.

TCM begins talking to the family of 4 inside the house commandeered by him, Beirus, and Aswell (BiggerFish is still outside, near the door). He then asks "Good sir, madam. I have a favor I must ask of you. We need to commandeer any vehicle you have. A rickshaw, a car, a boat, a $40,000 dollar segway, anything we can use to get back to Rwanda, so that I may raise my levies, and help save this village from those who shall be destroyed. In return, I shall give you $10,000 USD to be converted into local currency, what do you say?" (7) The Man in the house says "We do have something like that. We have a boat that was stolen by local Piracy groups. It runs on an engine, but I have the keys. We don't need money, sir. We want to live." He hands TCM the keys, but right before he leaves, a large mustachioed man with a Guitar and his left leg bent into ways thought impossible bursts through the door, John Lennon and Paul McCartney closing and locking the door before turning their attention away.


Speaking of, the 2 Beatles who aren't unconscious or stunned at the fact that a Guitar can stop tornadoes turn back to face UR. (9 v 1) John Lennon goes first, dashing forward and smashing his knee directly into UR's ribs, shattering them. UR collapses, and begins coughing up blood. Then, Paul comes in, (4 v 9) and springs a kick forward, only for UR to grab it and throw him down, before attempting to fight back. (7-1 (Injuries) v 10) Paul headbutts UR, before sending a kick into their chest, causing further damage. UR falls over, limp and injured. They are unconscious, and their injuries are quite severe. Whether or not they'll survive after next turn is unknown. It all comes down to the luck of the draw.

The Townspeople under Ardent begins forging and crafting weapons to defend against the other Wiki-Warriors. (10) They create legions of Swords, Axes, Maces, and a slew of other Masterwork weaponry! All they have to do is be given the word.

Back in the helicopter, we get a glimpse into what's happening. "Jess, I don't think shooting one of the contestants is going to work out in the long run." "Shut up, Jaws. No one interrupts me, and gets away with it!" "You know, I think you may be a psychopath..."

Before we leave, ask family if they have any sort of phoneline. If they do, call the palace and requests a dozen royal guards to be transported to my location via assault helicopter.

The King then witnesses people breaking into the house, and points his blade at them. "Back away! We have no quarrel for you who break into the home of an innocent family! Leave now or me and my fellow men will cut you down!"

If intimidation works, leave them alone and go outside. If they continue coming in, go into battle mode; alternate between using the sword to parry their attacks and then stab at them, aiming for the chest, whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Yo, I'm just going out here on a limb and suggest that it's a bad idea to threaten the people who set up Wiki-Wars in any universe, either in my game or in this one. They're usually pretty well stocked to take care of participants who don't follow the rules.

I think the Beatles launching an assault on a house as a pair of disgruntled villagers prepare to form a death mob all the while tornadoes rip through the surrounding area is plenty of drama. I'm not preventing you from doing it, but it's not in your life's interests to mess with the people at the top.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 3-A: Revolution
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:36 PM, Sunny Weather

Hawk pauses for a second, his work on the Deadly Epic lost to the wind, or at least the Giant Tuning Funnel of wind. Hawk then proceeds to run back to grab paper. After grabbing another stack, he attempts to get started on his killer novel. (6) He finishes around 60 pages of the 150 page novel on how the town was vaporized by meteors, and a quarter of said space rocks also hate Musicians.

NRDL thanks the Mother for her support of his mission, and walks over to the JLA: Year One comic, and reads through the thing, trying to find a power that would suit him. He gets to the Flash, and proceeds to absorb the power of the book, of the Flash. Suddenly, his body begins shaking, an abnormal energy taking him over. He then makes a connection to the Flash's power source, the Speed Force. When his consciousness returns to the land of the living, he finds the power of Super Speed within!

TheBiggerFish, gut shot non withstanding, climbs to the roof of the house that the Alliance has. "Everyone!  This is THEIR fault!  They brought us here, they charged us to destroy eachother, THEY, IN THAT HELICOPTER, MASTERMINDED A PLAN TO SET LOOSE HAVOC UPON YOUR TOWN!  And they shanghaied the Beatles into an active combat zone for no reason! Also, no, I'm not actually breaking any rules by telling everyone else this is your fault! (3) Unfortunately, any of the villagers not already gearing up to kill Fish, due to being part of Ardent's revolution, are so scared of Jess and Jaws that they don't want to stand up to him. (1) To make matters worse, Jess and Jaws actually land of the roof TheBiggerFish is on...

"Thank you, kind sir and madam. I must ask, do you have a phoneline? I can raise my levies using said line." (8) "We actually do, good king. It's in the kitchen area." However, right before he can take the keys, and call up the palace, he witnesses John Lennon and Paul McCartney throw said mustachioed gentleman inside, before the both of them go back outside, visibly pounding Ukrainian. "Back away! We have no quarrel for you who break into the home of an innocent family! Leave now or me and my fellow men will cut you down!" (4) Birdy looks up, and just puts on the face of someone who doesn't care. TCM, taking this as challenge, steps forward, before being cut off by what sounds like a Helicopter landing on the roof of the building.

Speaking of Birdy, all of the Beatles, plus Birdy and minus Ringo, spring to action. George (4) makes a nice guitar riff. While it doesn't stop the last 2 tornadoes, it is a pretty good track. John and Paul move in to finish UR off (7) and find UR is awake, though still in critical condition. John and Paul (5) do not move in to finish UR off, instead letting George strum a sad riff on the guitar. The last thing UR hears before passing away is the beautiful guitar riff, and it puts them at ease, as they see a bright light to send them off.
UR has one last song! Birdy gets:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burton_Dreben: +2 Philosophy  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burton_Dreben: +2 Philosophy)

Birdy himself goes outside, and mugs for the camera to win viewer support. (6) "You know, in hindsight, maybe I should have told them that the first battle was the only one NOT televised, since it was a test. There was a camera, though, and man did the people watching that camera love that Birdy guy."

Beirus and Aswell attempt another prayer to stop the tornadoes. (10) Not only does it stop the tornadoes currently there, but it also...

PirateJoe attempts to use more Wind Magic to create more tornadoes, but (8 v 3) lightning suddenly strikes him! He survives, and is still conscious, but sees that his hands are burned and shocked! He screams out in pain, and fear, as both methods of using Wind Magic, through his guitar and with basic gestures and incantations, are disabled and hanging limply off his arms.

DigitalDemon hides inside the well until he's sure the tornadoes are gone. He then attempts to use the powers of a Water God...

(Sorry, the turn posted before I finished. The rest of the turn will be in this post)

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 3-B: Warn(er)ing of the Consequences

DigitallDemon hides inside the well until he's sure the tornadoes are gone. He then attempts to use the powers of a Water God to form an Ice Mech (3) but only creates a gun that shoots Icicles. Hmm.

Suddenly, everything stops as a loud yell can be heard shaking the town. "FOR FAMILY, MUQUR, AND JUSTICE!!!" Suddenly:
30 townspeople, armed with swords and axes un-befitting of a town like this, charge at PirateJoe (2 v 4-2 (injuries)) but despite being injured, he still fights them off with some well placed kicks!

10 more townspeople charge at the Beatles and Birdy (8 v 7) 5 split off and attack the Beatles, with one managing stab John in the arm! The remaining 5 attack Birdy (4 v 6), only for him to use his good leg to kick some of them in the face!

Ardent is right behind the majority of 30, and attacks PirateJoe. (6 v 9-2) He slashes forward with his sword, only for Joe to dodge around the strike!


Stepping out of the Helicopter, BiggerFish finally sees the people responsible. The person he presumes to be Jess Warner appears to be a Caucasian, almost Albino due to the sheer paleness of his form. He has shoulder length brown hair, and a sick grin on his face. Around 6"2', slim build, he's also wearing a suit with a red tie. What Fish finds scary is that the suit is stained with blood. Jaws is wearing a cloaked hoodie, so not much can be seen, except for his hands. They appear bone-white, with Purple Runes covering them. "You're right, it's not against the rules, but you still shouldn't bad mouth someone who not only is the founder and CEO of a company that makes robots for international military forces, not only put this whole thing together with magic, but is also a...Jaws, what'd you say I am? "A sociopathic psychopath with a long history of violence, murder, and possible cannibalism. " Jess nods, before pulling out his 44. Magnum, and pointing it at BiggerFish. "Precisely."

A manly tear flies from the cheek of Birdy, who holds his hands out wide for the theatrical benefit of the non-existent audience and the attacking mob.  Visions of philosophy fill his mind! Of course! Utilitarianism is the answer! "No maaan! Not the Beatles! As Mills and Bentham tell us, their continued existence here will generate more hedons than we can handle maaan! Future happiness depends on the Beatles and by extension me living!"

"George man! Come on everybody! Let's sing a song! We all live in a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine..."

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 4: It's Time to Bleed
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:37 PM, Sunny Weather

NRDL, feeling empowered by the Speedforce, grabs the mother, and brings her out of the town, and then follows suit with her 2 children. With hushed thanks and quiet sobs, NRDL rushes back into the Sleepy Village, ready to stop those who seek to destroy.

Hawk finishes 60 pages of his novel, and now seeks to finish the book. (7) After quite a few moments of writing, he's down to 3 more pages. With struggle to find an ending, he doesn't see the villagers running past the Library with Battleaxes and Swords. He's safe, for now.

PirateJoe attempts to flee from Ardent and the Mob (2), but trips and falls, not doing any damage, but leaving him open. In desperation, he flicks his hands outward, attempting to cast Wind Magic. (5) He manages to flick his hands in such a way that the Mob and Ardent are blown back, far from him. None of them are injured, but it leaves them stunned long enough. PirateJoe attempts to flee into the town, only to find...

"The Lord has answered our prayers, Brother Aswell, but it is up to us to finish this threat. May God guide our hands in pursuit of justice.". Beirus and Aswell attempt to pray for strength against PirateJoe (1), only for the beacon of light that appeared from God's earlier gifts getting noticed by the Mob attacking the Beatles and Birdy. All 10 of them rush into the house, and attack! (3 v 9) With quick parries, and some return strikes, 2 of the 10 Revolutionaries are injured, and have collapsed onto the ground.

DigitalDemon makes a plan, and has a specific target. (1) Launching himself out of the well, he sees PirateJoe...a bit too late as he begins falling. Without too much detail as to how he lands, Demon's fine...aside from the unconscious-ness.

TCM has, quite frankly, had enough of this. Rushing toward the Kitchen, he makes a detour to take down some Revolutionaries. (6 v 1) Finally using the sword of the pacifist king, 3 Revolutionaries suddenly stop, and then collapse, blood rushing out of open wounds in their necks. He then makes his way to the Kitchen, preparing to gain Rwandan reinforcements. (5) "Hello? Rwandan Palace? It's me, King TCM. As you know, I'm stuck in Afghanistan, around Badghis. I need assistance, troops so that I may have help." A female secretary responds back, saying "Sir? I knew it, you were in Badghis. We can only afford 12 of the Royal Rwandan Military, sir. Is that alright?" TCM thinks a bit, before responding...

A tear lands on the ground near Birdy, not out of sadness, but out of sheer beauty. He's glad he's had the opportunity to spread love in a world of violence, and no destroyed kneecap will stop that. He motions to George, and the waking up Ringo, to play the track to Yellow Submarine, in an attempt the 30 man Mob that Ardent brought with him while looking for PirateJoe. (4) While 2 or 3 villagers realize what they've done and flee back to their homes, Ardent and the rest of the Mob are steadfast.

(7) "COME ON! Yellow Submarine? Men...really? This is swaying you? I'll admit, I like Beatles songs as much as much as...someone, but we have a mission! We have to free this town from tyranny!" The rest of the Mob, agreeing with Ardent, chasing down the 4 Beatles, chasing them away from Birdy! Ardent himself walks over to Birdy, (8 v 5) and using his EAPD, like Android 19 himself, grabs hold of Birdy's face, and begins absorbing his lifeforce! (10) Birdy, fighting back, not only pushes Ardent away, but also manages to grab his sword! (1 v 10) However, the combination of the sword's sheer weight, and the broken kneecap causes Birdy to fall to the ground. To make matters worse, Ardent stands over him, ready to absorb...

Imagine, if you will, you are TheBiggerFish. You have a gun pointed at your face, the holder of the weapon was just then said to be a murderer and cannibal, and you're on the roof of a building. What to do...you know! (7) BiggerFish morphs to Beetle Form, and sprints to the controls of the Helicopter. Jess manages to notice the sudden morph, and fires at the BiggerFish's Beetle Form! (2 v 7) However, he misses every shot at BiggerFish. BiggerFish transforms into a human, only to find why the Chopper landed. In the driver's seat, there appears to be a man. He's wearing a cowboy hat, standard pilot's gear, and is dead, a bullet hole in his head. What's disturbing is the bite marks taken out of his arms. Due to where he is, BiggerFish guesses in a fraction of a second that this is-was Charon, before tossing him out of the seat, and taking the controls. (6) He gets it down alright. He's not the best pilot, but he takes off, and hovers off the ground.


The remaining 7 Revolutionaries re-join Ardent's larger militia. They all chase the Beatles down, (4 v 2) and manage to stab Paul in the foot! It doesn't do anything, but it is a wound. The chase continues...

"...Well then." With that said, Jess points his gun up at the Helicopter, hoping to somehow hit BiggerFish. (7) I-er, he, manages to hit the rotors at the top of the Helicopter, causing some engine trouble. It doesn't make him crash, but it will become harder to maneuver. "Alright, now you hit him, Jaws...Jaws?" Turning around, he sees Jaws with an iPod, listening to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. "What? It's a decent track."

Abscond with the helicopter!  But save the Beatles if at all possible!

"Hey!  The Beatles have nothing to do with this!  Let them be!

Also IT'S THE ENTIRE BEATLES, TOGETHER AGAIN, AND YOU AREN'T CLAMORING FOR A TOUR YET?  COME ON!  LET'S DO THAT INSTEAD OF KILLING PEOPLE!"

Ardent attempts to Absorb birdy51's life-force! He tells the Revolutionaries to spread out and attack any Wiki-Warriors they see! When he finishes draining birdy51's life force he shoots eye-beams at other Wiki-Warriors, if he has enough energy, if not he just tries to fight them with his Sword.

"Delicious..."

The King wishes he could have more soldiers, but he realizes that if any more come on this rescue mission, the palace will be left without many guards and susceptible to a terrorist attack. "That will have to do! Send the 12 men with the best guns we can find and put them on an armored helicopter immediately!" He then looks out the window at the calamity outside, seeing that one of his allies has commandeered a helicopter. "And tell them if they see a commercial helicopter, do not shoot it, I repeat, do not shoot, the commercial helicopter is friendly? And please, tell me approximately how long it will take for them to arrive?"

After the phone call, the King sneaks out the back door of the house, and tries to get away from the fighting unseen. Even if he has an opportunity to kill another wiki-warrior he does not take; he would rather remain unseen than get a quick kill but expose himself to other fighters. If anyone does uncover his location, do not hesitate to slice their throats open.

"So much unnecessary blood spilled...if I win this, I will make sure that this world sees no more of these tragedies..."

@Birdy51: I work under the assumption that summons will be alive after the player is dead, so if you die, the Beatles will be like the townpeople, NPCs. Then again, without a Wiki-Warrior, and only 1 guitar to share, they still don't have THAT much of a chance.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 5: D&D: Death & Destruction
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:37 PM, Sunny Weather

NRDL rushes forth, trying to find Hawk and end this...whatever this is. (8) His searches bring him to a Library, where Hawk is about to finish his last 3 pages. NRDL rushes forward...

Hawk prepares to finish his last 3 pages. (3+1) He finishes 2 of the pages, but is stopped by NRDL rushing forward, ready to punch through his sternum! (7 v 4) NRDL punches Hawk right in the chest, bringing Hawk to his knees. There's nothing really permanent, but NRDL prepares to attack again, just as Hawk speedwrites the last page! (2) "And Hawk lived happily ever after." Uh...it's cliched, but it finishes the book! Suddenly, Meteors begin crashing down, with a good chunk of them heading toward the Musicians.

(8 v 4) The Beatles run from the Mob, only to find Meteors crashing around them. As they run off, they don't even notice Ringo's corpse flying away from the battlefield, whilst also on fire.

(6 v 2) PirateJoe counts, he has a guitar. As Meteors crash around, a good chunk of them crash into Pirate's location, including a couple slamming into him! As he awakens, he finds his left leg is now a bloody stump. As PirateJoe screams out in agony, he tries to get up, (7) and prepares a makeshift crutch out of sticks. He gets up with his crutch, and runs under a building.

(10 v 4) As Ardent is about to absorb Birdy's energy, a meteor rushes toward them. As it rushes toward Birdy, he realizes what happens. "Listen, Ardent. I know you want to kill me, but I need you to trust me. Spread my love, and my wisdom. And may all 4 Beatles have many show-" His sudden interruption is because a large flaming rock has crushed the poor soul, the last thought rushing by the man's head being "I love you all, the people with music in their soul. Hopefully, everyone watching can spread this same love..."
Birdy has been crushed! Hawk acquires:
http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/Bullet_Swarm (http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/Bullet_Swarm): +Bullet Swarm
Abilities: Bullet Swarm: Allowed to do multiple attacks in a single turn.

(10 v 7) The Majority attacks the remaining, with the first cluster attacking BiggerFish's chopper. The Space Rocks don't do much damage, but some dents, and additional chips to the rotors mean that evasive maneuvers are taken.

(9 v 10) The rest attempt to assault TCM's Militia, but they are destroyed by the other meteors.

Ardent's stunned face is plastered on, as he emotionlessly walks to his fallen foe, a bit of respect for the musician setting in. As he absorbs Birdy's remaining energy, the only thought rushing through his head is: "Hi there, Ardent. Wow, this seems bad. It could be worse, though. Your Mob can turn on you, or the meteors could have hit you, or...well, I'll leave you with the implications."

PirateJoe crutches out, attempting to flee the village. (4) He doesn't get far with a single crutch, but he's not dead, so it's alright.

DigitalDemon wakes up, and see PirateJoe fleeing. Deciding to leave him alone, he thinks about his next plan...right as a stray meteor comes for him. (9 v 5) Demon dives out of the way, but sees his gun destroyed.

TCM thinks for a moment, and responds. "That will have to do! Send the 12 men with the best guns we can find and put them on an armored helicopter immediately!" He then looks out the window at the calamity outside, seeing that one of his allies has commandeered a helicopter. "And tell them if they see a commercial helicopter, do not shoot it, I repeat, do not shoot, the commercial helicopter is friendly? And please, tell me approximately how long it will take for them to arrive?" (9) Not long, sir. Just a minute or two." (read as, 2 turns) TCM mutters an agreement before fleeing, Beirus and Aswell the only ones following. (7) They manage to sneak behind a library in town, crouching down to avoid detection.

Beirus prays to God to keep the 3 safe. (2) He doesn't get a visual response back, but he cannot lose hope.

"Hey!  The Beatles have nothing to do with this!  Let them be! Also IT'S THE ENTIRE BEATLES, TOGETHER AGAIN, AND YOU AREN'T CLAMORING FOR A TOUR YET?  COME ON!  LET'S DO THAT INSTEAD OF KILLING PEOPLE!" The Mafia looks up to find the dented Charon Channel Chopper floating above. In a daze, the remaining Beatles climb aboard the chopper. With his new passengers, BiggerFish attempts to make a hasty retreat. (2) He doesn't get far, not out of anything bad, but because he swears he hears a voice, like a legion of one man, speaking multiple times to make himself known. "Hi, there, BiggerFish. Do you know who I am? No? Well, soon you shall know, through what I've already done."


As the meteors destroy miscellaneous houses, I'm getting absolutely livid, like my Helicopter's been stolen, Jaws was being an As-er, Jess was furious...

Ardent stops for a moment and looks up at the Heavens with an annoyed look on his face.

"Seriously?!? I had him right where I wanted him! The last thing I need is another voice in my head..."

He grabs his Telescope and attempts to use his Asteroid Landing Ability on any remaining Meteors and uses any Meteors he sends to the ground to destroy other Wiki Warriors, more specifically piratejoe, TheBiggerFish, and NRDL.

"DESTROY THEM ALL!!!"

He then tells 35 of the Townsfolk to go looking through houses in search of Wiki Warriors and Foreigners to Slay. If the Townsfolk find any other Townsfolk they should attempt to recruit them into their Mob and tell them that they should kill all of the Wiki Warriors except for Ardent Debater, who is helping them. Ardent selects the 2 strongest Townsfolk and asks them to follow him, Ardent attempts to use his Energy Palm Absorbing Devices on any vulnerable Wiki Warriors he sees, if he is able to.

((Here's the definition of an asteroid - A small rocky body orbiting the Sun. Large numbers of these, ranging enormously in size, are found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, though some have more eccentric orbits. The meteors aren't in any orbit right now. You can't influence them. Don't make me delete your abilities with a novel. Also, the only reason I pointed this out is because NRDL is right next to me.))

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 6: Operator is Standing By
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:38 PM, Sunny Weather
1 turn until Rwandan Reinforcments

DigitalDemon walks into a nearby house in an attempt to find a book to absorb, and I just said/typed that. (2) It is unfortunate to find that the house he's walked into has nothing, except some furniture. It appears whoever lived here cleared out in a hurry, and left only a couch, some chairs, a table, a curious drawing of a silhouette with purple eyes, and a coffee maker.

NRDL taps into the speedforce, and attempts to shove his hand through Hawk's chest. (1) He then finds, to his dismay, that all that does is make molecules pass through objects as though said objects weren't there. Hawk then stands up, and...

Hawk staggers to his feet, before suddenly disappearing. Oh, wait, there he is. He's the mantis charging at NRDL's face...huh. (7+2 v 10) Even with using Mantis Kung-Fu, NRDl still swats at Mantis!Hawk, causing him to crash onto the floor. NRDL attempts to squish Hawk's now fragile mantis body, (9 v 8-2) and manages to break one of his little mantis legs. He quickly morphs back into human form, only to find his right leg is bruised, and has a bleeding cut, but is still usable.

PirateJoe attempts to flee the still unnamed town in Muqur, and go into mainland Europe. (6) He manages to make it to a field, close to a land border between Afghanistan, and the northern areas of the continental mass, which includes Europe. He is stopped by several border control guards, who get him to a nearby hospital.

TheBiggerFish attempts to find a button that can do reality warping time travel...on a civilian level Helicopter...used by a combination TV Channel and Radio Station...(10) and yet he finds it! He not only finds a button that can do time travel, but he also finds a couple of switches and knobs, which activate a computer that allows him to gain information on anything he wants! Before he goes to save Ringo, however, he decides to address the voice in his head. "Oh? You, the Magic Man?" "My name is the Operator, or at least, that's my title. I can tell today is going to be...fantastic." With that in mind, BiggerFish attempts to press the Time Travel button, (5) and manages to hit the button, but it does not go immediately. Rather, a console pops up, which has things such as a date, and a location. (4) He doesn't quite place the time correctly, but he does get the location... He goes to around 7:20 PM, before anything really happened. Landing the chopper, Fish, John, Paul, and George get out of the Helicopter to a cliff near the town, to find someone on the cliff, who looks identical to Jaws. When Jaws turns around and speaks, Fish suddenly freezes. "What did I tell you, or rather will tell you? Fantastic..."

TCM attempts to continue hiding from his opponents, (6) and stays hidden, save from stray strands of clothing or twigs snapping under his weight. Despite this, he's still hidden.

Beirus and Aswell look for anyone who could be an aggressor, but find everyone else is a bit...preoccupied. With this, Beirus prays to God for a miracle, for guidance. (2) Once again, nothing really happens, leading to Aswell attempting the same. (6) He gets a bit more luck, as it appears that the 3 of them get some camouflage in the form of a tree that falls near them.  Taking cover behind the tree, the Royal Guard as I will call them continue to wait out the war.

"Seriously?!? I had him right where I wanted him! The last thing I need is another voice in my head..." "In my professional opinion, it's better than nothing.". Ardent, having nothing more to say to the voice, prepares to call down more meteors. (10) He finds a very large cluster of them, calling them down to exact revenge! (3) They only affect 3 areas with Wiki-Warriors, though that is technically what he wanted.

(Automatic Failure) Ardent soon finds that meteors cannot travel through time.

(3 v 5) NRDL and Hawk prepare for a scuffle, only to find meteors crashing through the Library. Luckily, they miss both of them, being content with smashing through and demolishing the building.

(5 v 7) A few of them assault a hospital in Central Asia, where PirateJoe is now. Luckily, they only crash through other rooms and the roof, but some doctors and security are killed by the rocks, and others are injured. PirateJoe himself is unharmed.

Feeling content with what he's done, he relays his orders, sending 35 of his 37 man Militia to tackle any remaining Wiki-Warriors. (8) They crash through the Library and see NRDL and Hawk, seemingly waiting for more meteors to hit. The Militia charges, (1 v 3) but find that around 4 of their men are on the ground already. They all run out of the building, trying to find more people to bolster their ranks. (6) They manage to find 4 people ready to fight, 2 of them being the Mother and Father of the family of 4 TCM met. Giving them Masterwork Warhammers, they run back to Ardent. Ardent grabs 2 of his strongest men, and races towards the Library, and sees NRDL and Hawk. Ardent walks back out, before giving the signal to his 2 strongest men, one with a Masterwork Machete nicknamed "Knives", and one with a Masterwork War Hammer nicknamed "Basher". The 2 of them stare Hawk and NRDL down...


Knives and Basher charge at NRDL and Hawk, with Knives taking NRDL first. (9 v 4) Knives stabs NRDL in the stomach, before pushing NRDL back. NRDL continues standing, before going in for a Speed Force Punch to Knives' Face. (6 v 10) Knives holds his Machete out, and stabs NRDL in the arm. NRDL is now bleeding quite a bit...

Basher and Hawk are now locked into combat. (4 v 8) Basher attempts to bash Hawk's skull in, but Hawk dodges and Mantises up! (6+2 v 3) Basher suddenly feels blood dripping down his face, a gash formed in his forehead, thanks to Hawk, who has just transformed back into a human.

Jess and Jaws, still on the roof, wonder what to do. "Jaws, I have an idea. Use your magic to bring us back to Osaka, please." "Alright." With a wave of his hands, and said hands glowing purple, the two of us vanished. Don't worry, we were still watching. Birdy was looking into a camera, after all.

@Hawk: As Bullet Storm is from the turn based X-COM franchise, I had to take caveats. So, the attack has to hit your opponent to hit multiple times, as interrupting the first attack would make it difficult to perform the 2nd attack. At least, that's how I thought of it. Does that make sense?

Round 7: Time and Fate
Muqur District, Badghis Afghanistan
7:20 PM, Sunny Weather

As John, Paul, and George back away from the 2 figures, BiggerFish is confused about the turn of events. "Oh.  Hi.  Uh, please don't shoot me or otherwise murdercate me? I just want to re-reunite the Beatles, then I'll get out of your metaphorical hair. Why do you sound different than you?" "Don't worry, don't worry. You're fine. We have to prevent paradoxes and the like. Also, why do I sound different than me? I sound the same as I always have. It's me, the Operator. I'm using Logan's body to, you know, do what is necessary." Operator!Jaws then turns around, and looks back over the town. As the Time Traveling 4 return to the Helicopter, a thought passes their creative consciousness. "Just what have we gotten ourselves into?"

A Kazakh Hospital, Kazakhstan
7:38 PM, Sunny Weather

PirateJoe wakes up from the anesthetic in the Central Asian hospital. A doctor strides into the room, his name tag reading "Dr. Garriev" "Welcome back, Mr. Joe. We're pleased to tell you that we fixed your hands." PirateJoe shifts in his bed and brings his hands out, seeing that they are, in fact, fully healed. "We had to find some skin donors, but all in all, it's okay. Now, about your leg," he pauses for a moment, (8) "We managed to get a state of the art prosthetic. Full maneuverability, a nice casing, all in all, it's like if we put a human leg onto the stump, heh heh." he laughs at his own joke, PirateJoe getting a chuckle in. "You're free to leave, if you want. We want to keep you here, for observation, but given the...deaths, that happened earlier, I don't want that hard work to go to waste."

Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:38 PM, Sunny Weather

As the battle in the Library wages on, NRDL is sick of this Mob already. (4-1) He attempts to spin his arms into a tornado, but is stopped by Knives charging at him. (3 v 9) NRDL still manages to grab him, and throw him over a desk within the library.

Hawk needs a distraction to escape, and so decides to knock some sense into Basher before bouncing. (4 v 8) Basher stops Hawk in place with his hammer, before raising it up for a kill blow. (7) Hawk rolls out of the way, grabs some paper and speeds through a back entrance, leaving NRDL with the murderers.

Ardent, needless to say, doesn't quite like that turn of events, and thus charges in himself, keeping the Mob outside unless absolutely necessary. (7 v 2) Ardent begins absorbing the energy of NRDL, who's weakened by his injuries. (5) He manages to get his hand off his face, stopping the energy transfer, but Ardent's still there. (8-1 v 2) NRDL punches Ardent square in the jaw, knocking him to the floor. Ardent is still conscious, however.

DigitalDemon, having the oddest idea, walks over to the Coffee Pot. Due to the haste the family left at, there's still some coffee brewing. (9) He uses his Water God powers to manipulate the water within the coffee. He freezes it, then morphs it's shape, into a Ice Gun. It fires Icicles.

TCM attempts to make himself invisible. (5) He manages to stay out of sight, but a twig does make loud snap under him. (2) Luckily, no one notices.

Beirus and Aswell also attempt stealth. (5) They both do the same thing TCM did. (5) The Party inside notices the noise, and Ardent sends Knives and Basher out to dispatch of them. The 2 find the Royal Guard, and prepare for combat.


Knives goes after the King, and prepares to gut him. (1 v 1) As he charges, they both ram into eachother, and fall over, the both of them unconscious.

Basher attempts to Namesake Beirus and Aswell. (3 v 8) Basher misses, and gives an opening. (5 v 2) Aswell slashes across his back, leaving another bleeding Gash.

Suddenly, all fighting seems to stop, as another Helicopter appears over the horizon. "THIS IS THE RWANDAN MILITARY. IF YOU ARE NOT KING TCM OR AN ALLY OF HIM, COME OUTSIDE WITH YOUR HANDS UP." is played out a loudspeaker, as around 12 men land on a cliff overlooking a town. As they prepare to rappel down, one thing is apparent to the Wiki-Warriors in Present-Day Muqur. They have guns. 6 of them have the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchi_SPAS-12 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchi_SPAS-12), and 5 have the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Galil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Galil). 1 of them has a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82) and all of them have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol) as a sidearm.

Hey, guys. I have something to ask. How do you think the time system should go? Right now, it's a clock, where 2 turns=a minute. I feel like this should change, so I'm wondering how to go about that. Should I keep it a clock, and speed up progression of time, or use another system? Thanks!

Um...Save Ringo.  This is pretty much the extent of my plan here.  Then return to when we were, but near Abbey Road, and launch a Beatles Reunion Tour.

The King smiles for once. "Yes it is I, in the flesh!"

Wave down the helicopter and let Beirus board it is as well, in addition to any surrounding allies. If anyone tries to stop this, point them out to the Rwandan guards and let them use their weaponry to the best of their ability. Once this is all finished, begin flying back to Rwanda.

Go find a safe place and being writing a novel about the current events. Include a plot twist in which I am actually an alien sent to Earth to ascertain if the Earthlings are worthy of being inducted into the galactic community. An attack upon me means declaring war upon the universe. That means that my comrades who totally have been cloaked in orbit for years are going to begin attacking all major cities on Earth. Also, they're going to send me a highly advanced suit of power armor to ensure my survival.

((I originally wanted to only get power armor, but I decided that the future could use some more chaos from me. You're welcome, Greatness.))

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 8: The Rwandan Military
Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:20 PM, Sunny Weather

Fish, in the presence of the Operator, stands tall, and speaks again in a calm voice. "Ah, I thought you were, you know, the guy you're borrowing...So I guess we can hang around until whenever and save Ringo, right?  We're already pretty close to the right when...There's no paradox about that, right?" "Yeah, you'll save Ringo, thus altering what is already in the past for your enemies...which will alter the present...which will cause a paradox due to the alterations in the timeline...and if you really want to get technical there's the possibility of a Stable Time Loop...wait a minute." (8) "Sure, go ahead. I wanna see how you die-I mean, how you save Ringo.". With a nod, BiggerFish and the Beatles pile in and return to around 10 minutes later. (7) They rush in through the timeline and the Meteors dropping at the time. They rush back to Ringo, and pick him up. (6 v 10) The Meteor that killed Ringo in the original timeline misses, but (3), as predicted, the timeline begins collapsing, trying to rectify the survival of someone who should, by all means, be dead. The Meteors that missed the Beatles earlier charge at them, (10) but BiggerFish dashes through them, and time travels to the current time, ready to ride...

Kazakhstan
7:39 PM, Slightly Overcast

As PirateJoe exits the operating room in the Kazakhstan hospital, he begins asking around to find an armory or Military Base. (8) Dr. Garriev and a few nurses direct him to a base built by the Soviet Union in 1971. (2) It was cleaned out of the majority of firearms, but there may be some guns left behind. Thanking Dr. Garriev, he runs off toward the base.

Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:39 PM, Sunny Weather, Getting Overcast

The SPAS-12 wielding soldiers charge toward Knives and Basher, who were attacking the King and his Royal Guard. (9 v 5) Several bullets hit Knives' body, leading to several wounds and heavy bleeding, before the soldiers give a signal. (2 v 6) The Barrett 50. Cal Soldier misses his shot, however. Basher tries to run, but Aswell runs after him. TCM wakes up to see a soldier offering a hand to his King. While groggy, TCM waves down the helicopter, offering seats to Beirus and Asw-oh wait, he's chasing Basher.

Beirus likes the idea, but first...(6+3 v 6) Beirus charges forth, and kicks Knives, concussing him and knocking him out. Aswell attempts to stab forward to take down Basher. (8 v 7) Stabbing forward, Basher's right leg is stabbed, knocking him down. Aswell then attempts to execute the fallen Basher. (1 v 4) But, Aswell cannot bring himself to kill Basher, instead running toward the Helicopter, with the Royal Guard piling in. It'll take only the King's word to lift off.

DigitalDemon, noticing a military presence in the town, aims his Ice Gun at the Barrett Soldier. (1 v 8) However, the Ice Gun dismantles spontaneously, and the noise of it breaking alerts the sniper to Demon. (2 v 2) Demon suddenly dives behind cover as the bullet whizzes past.

NRDL attempts to use the Speedforce to snap Ardent's neck. (6 v 3) While no death ensues, Ardent is Speedforce kicked in the head, stunning him.

Ardent tries to give the signal to bring the Militia to him, but the stun shocks him into an almost suicidal charge at NRDL, Palm Devices at the ready. (8 v 5) Taking NRDL's face into his palm, he begins to absorb NRDL's energy. NRDL attempts to resist the attack, (6 v 6) but they are stuck at a standstill, energy still being absorbed. (70% Energy Absorbed)

Hawk sprints forward before stumbling upon a cellar. Hiding inside, he begins writing his Alien Plot Twist novel. (4+1) He manages to finish quite a few pages, around 60 pages, before being interrupted by a voice, calling out. "God, man. I don't know what's worse. That fact that this book is good enough to sell, and you're not selling it, or the fact that the only reason you haven't finished is because of me. Whatever, I'll leave you to it.".


The Rwandan Sniper, callsign "Hawkeye", takes aim at DigitalDemon, and fires again. (3 v 1) A bullet passes through Demon's cover, grazing Demon's leg.

Alright, I'm gonna clarify some things I was thinking about.

Bleeding: No Bleeding: Um, it's not bleeding?

Light Bleeding: Not bleeding that much. Will progress into Not Bleeding with time.

Moderate Bleeding: Bleeding quite a bit. Has a "Grace Period" before the bleeding out countdown starts. Once it runs down, you go unconscious and have a few turns before you die of blood loss.

Heavy Bleeding: Bleeding Out starts immediately. Once it runs out, you go unconscious and only have 1 turn before death.

Time: 2 Turns equal 1 minute. In Match 2, I'll change it to 1 turn being equal to 5 minutes.

If I should change any of these, go ahead and tell me. Thanks!

Well it's not not a stable time loop if Ringo still vanished, innit?  We were already there stealing Ringo out from under the meteors.  This totally happened.

After all, the line was

As they run off, they don't even notice Ringo's corpse flying away from the battlefield, whilst also on fire.

which means nobody saw it which means it can have not happened!  But still!  To Abbey Road!  It's Beatles Reunion Tour time!

Hey, guys. I have something I've been thinking about in regards to the game. Namely, that some people have personal and/or technological troubles that affect their ability to update. Now, there's nothing wrong with that. If you can't update, that's okay, everyone has a personal life and free time that they need to keep. But, since there hasn't been a turn for a few days, and I'm excited to see where I can go with the game and the storyline...yeah. Obviously, the solution is an update timer, where if you do not update within a certain time, you either get auto'd or you go idle. Of course, that's not a perfect solution, as there are things that can go wrong, which is why I want your input:

Should I have an Update Timer, to get rounds out faster? Or, should I use that thing that human beings have called patience and wait a few days. If an Update Timer is a good idea, how long should it be? 24 hours? 48 hours?

Alrighty, then. I'll add the timer to the OP, and give Ardent one more day before I type up the next turn. It's only fair. Now, since he's in combat, I might auto him instead of leaving him idle, and that's assuming he can't make it.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 9: Aliens and Abbey Road
Sleepy Villiage, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:39 PM, Overcast

"I might sell it. You just gotta wait until the aliens finish conquering the Earth, though." says Hawk, as he prepares to continue his book. "Alright, makes sense...wait, what?" (2) As Hawk prepares to continue his novel, the blank pages lying next to him suddenly levitate over him, before moving to another part of the cellar. "Huh?"

TheBiggerFish and the 4 Beatles have avoided the Meteors via some quick thinking, and have avoided a time paradox with simple logic, and now they have to make their way across the continental mass so that they may reunite. (4) As they start up, they will take 4 turns, or 2 minutes, of continuous travel, but they will make it to England.

Ardent holds his hand to NRDL's face and continues the attempt to absorb their power. (9 v 4) Ardent continues until his Energy Chamber is full, then let's go of the weak NRDL.

NRDL, attempting to fight back, charges forward with his thumbs outstretched. (2-1 v 5) NRDL, in his weakness after the energy consumption, stumbles forward before collapsing onto the nearby front desk, leaning onto it.

DigitalDemon attempts to use his Water God powers to kill the Barrett 50. Cal wielding soldier in quite a horrible way. (10 v 4) The Soldier aims at the window, before he suddenly falls over, going unconscious due to his blood boiling. (9) The Soldier's vitals then stop, the corpse of Hawkeye lying on the ground.

TCM orders the pilot to hurry, before looking for a spare gun. (10) He finds spares of all of the soldiers' guns, and also a WWII Era Panzershreck!

Beirus, playing it safe for now, takes a Barrett 50. Cal and aims at where they were, at the bleeding Knives. (8 v 8) A bullet whizzes past Knives, which then hits the ground.

U.S.S.R. Barracks and Armory, Kazakhstan
7:39 PM, Overcast

PirateJoe arrives at the base, and looks for salvage. (5) He finds a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makarov_pistol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makarov_pistol), 2 magazines of Pistol Ammo, and a Bulletproof Vest, but that's it.


With NRDL stumbling around, Ardent gives a signal that the remaining townspeople go after the soldiers. The Soldiers take aim at the charging Militia. (3 v 9) The Soldiers miss, and the charging Militia rush into them. (9 v 7) One of the Militia manages to stab into the arm of one of the Galil Soldiers, causing him to drop his gun.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 10: Extraterrestrial Execution
Sleepy Village, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:40 PM, Overcast

Hawk walks over to the papers, which have landed near a keg of wine. Grabbing the pages, Hawk walks back to his writing place and continues his book. (4+1) While he has finished the book, it's only half as good as he wants it to be. The book's great, but the pacing's a bit rushed, and not much time is spent world building, which could leave new readers a bit confused at first. The book is about an advanced alien society, who send abducted human sleeper agents to disable the world's governments. Suddenly, Hawk doubles over in pain, awakened memories flashing before his eyes. He sees his abduction, his indoctrination, and his mission. As he rises to his feet, a large booming voice emerges from the heavens, all of the warriors and their allies stopping in their tracks. "Humans! This is the leader of the Zartheth. We have awakened our local agent. If Agent D-20-Omega, or Hawk as you know him as, is harmed or killed in any way other than by accident, suicide, or honorable 1 on 1 combat, Sleepy Village will be destroyed, transformed into a smoking, fiery crater. This will be true unless D-20-Omega completes the mission we have given him. His mission is the same as you have assumed. He. Must. Win.". The Zartheth then send a pod to Hawk's abode, containing Power Armor. (5) The Power Armor appears to be a futuristic, yet Human Exoskeleton. The Exoskeleton has no obvious weapons, but it does have a Zartheth Forcefield, capable of taking some punishment. ((OOC: Essentially, it has 50 HP. Each attack will take 1d10 of damage off of the forcefield. Once disabled, you take normal, realistic damage again.))

DigitalDemon, proud with his victory, infuses the blood with water to create an Ice Golem. (5) The Blood-Ice Golem is only the size of a Human, around Adult age, but it exists. The Golem attempts to forcibly break up the conflict between the Militia and the Rwandan Military. (6 v 5) A single member of the mob getting a shard of ice through his ankle is all it takes to get the Militia running, though the Military aim their guns at the Golem and Demon, cautious of the 2 people in the Building.

Speaking of DigitalDemon, that's the exact person who King TCM is currently aiming a Panzershreck at. (4-1 (Distance) v 4) The Panzershreck is off center, and fires at the running Militia. (Damage=9) A large chunk, around 23 of the Mob, get instantly decimated, mutilated bodies flying away from the blast. The Remainder charge at the Library, fearful of anyone and everyone.

(10) The reason for the missile from the Panzershreck missing the Military is thanks to a prayer from Beirus and Aswell, which worked well enough that they not only are better at attack, but also better at defense! ((+3 to Attack and Defense))

((Auto'd)) Ardent, pure power coursing through his veins, prepares his ultimate attack, the Pure Energy Eye Beams! (10 v 10-1 (Weakened.) The Eye Beams cut through his legs, not causing much damage, but enough to be dangerous with his previous injuries. As he trips and falls to the floor, he begins to bleed heavily...

NRDL attempts to flee the area, now fearful of death. (2-2(Weakened+Injuries)) He doesn't even make it to his feet before he collapses, filled with pain and agony. He either needs to fight back, or wait for death...

TheBiggerFish and the 4 Beatles continue on their path, to Essex in the U.K. to play the first Beatles concert in years. Before they do, BiggerFish attempts to find the button that can disguise him as a Yellow Submarine, as a theme for the concert. (7) He finds a button that gives the Helicopter a Yellow Paintjob, but he cannot make it look like a flying submarine.

U.S.S.R. Barracks and Armory, Kazakhstan
7:40 PM, Overcast

PirateJoe acquires the Makarov, 2 Magazines worth of ammunition and the Bulletproof Vest, and tries to make his way back to Sleepy Village. (6) He has to go back to the Hospital to ask for directions, but by Next Turn he should make it.


The Rwandan Military, taking a guess on who TCM was aiming at, fire at the Ice Golem. (9 v 7) Bullets strike at the Golem, cracks appearing in it's body. (5 v 6) The Royal Guard dives out of the way of Ice Shards, leading to the Golem standing it's ground.

Basher takes the dying Knives to the rest of the Militia, where they hide in one of the houses.

The Helicopter continues driving to Rwanda. (9) They manage to land in the small country south of the Middle East. As they land, King TCM gets swamped by adoring fans and servants. They are lead into the Palace, where they are met by a man in a suit. "Hello, sir. I am President Imani Arendse. We haven't had a king since 1961. But, I'm sure we can talk about your claim to the throne, Mr. TCM. I mean, my willingness to negotiate is why the Military listens to you. Come on, sit down.".

((Too bad about it having no weapons, but I'll take it. Nothing a good book can't fix anyway.))

Put the exoskeleton on if I haven't yet. Write a biography/novel about a legendary arms dealer who totally exists. By pure coincidence, the building I'm in happens to be one of his many hideouts spread throughout the world. It was abandoned, but it's impressively well-stocked armory is still untouched, having never been found. The arms dealer never thought of any countermeasures to having the gear stolen, since he's so good at hiding his hiding places.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 11: The Calm
Parliament, Rwanda
7:40 PM, Sunny Weather, July 18th, 2016

King TCM and President Arendse sit down to discuss the governmental system. TCM speaks first, saying "President Imani, I'm glad you've given me the opportunity to negotiate my continued royalty for the citizens of Rwanda. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without the support of the Rwandan people. If you will allow me to keep my status as Royalty until my death, I would greatly appreciate it. I mean, with the battle happening in Sleepy Village, the people need their hero." Imani, smiling, says, "But of course, oh King. But, this is a negotiation. How about, you continue your status until the election, which is held every 7 years. Next year is the next election, so you shall be King until then. Sound good?". Imani holds out his arm, his hand ready to be shook...

"Brother Beirus? Are you sure? The Olympics? The World Cup?" says Aswell, before a snark by Beirus interrupts his worries. "I thought us Catholics supported the Olympics..." Beirus, dragging the Rwandan Sports team into a building for Soccer and Bobsled training. (8) The Sports team goes from not knowing how to play Soccer or go Bobsledding to being enough to match up to the teams going to Rio. Then, as per Aswell's request, the pair go to a Catholic Church in the area. They are welcomed in, and attend the late service.

Somewhere near Essex, United Kingdom
7:40 PM, Very Overcast, July 18th, 2016

The Charon Channel Helicopter is quite close to landing in Essex, and they decide to call in for the concert hall and the instruments necessary to play. (7) While skeptical of John and George being alive, the concert hall directors agree to lay out a few instruments for the band, and their manager.

Sleepy Village, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:40 PM, Overcast, July 18th, 2016

After the Alien message, and the memory flash, Hawk decides to use his powers to produce something that can help him. He begins to write another novel. This one is a Biography about an international Arms Dealer who had numerous safe houses across the world, including the Cellar in Sleepy Village. Slipping the Exoskeleton on, and activating the Forcefield, Hawk goes back inside to write the new book. (7+1) Taking charge with experience from his past novels, he manages to speed through several pages, only needing to finish the last 2 pages, and an Author's Note.

((Idle)) Ardent, satisfied with his assault, sits down in a chair in the Library, and begins the reading a book he took with him, that being Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

NRDL attempts to crawl away after having been mauled by Ardent's assault. (2-2) NRDL attempts to stand, only to fall back down.

DigitalDemon uses his Water God powers to order the Blood-Ice Golem to kill the Royal Rwandan Military. (1 v 8) As the Ice Golem charges up it's shot, it not only misses, it also almost trips under it's weight. (3 v 6) It keeps it's balance enough to dodge the gunfire of the Rwandan Military.

Sneaking back into the Sleepy Village, and behind DigitalDemon, PirateJoe aims his Makarov. (6 v 5) A bullet grazes Demon's arm, and he turns around seeing his attacker having seemingly vanished, Joe hiding behind a plank of wood behind the house.


The Military, having been trained for oddities by...someone, aim their guns at the Blood-Ice Golem. (10 v 7) Several more Bullets hit the Blood-Ice Golem, it's form cracking into shards. It's form holds and it attempts to fight back against the Military. (6 v 3) An Ice Shard hits one of the SPAS-12 Soldiers in the eye, damaging his sight. At this, they all split up, each soldier carrying his own burdens...

As Knives peacefully passes away on a couch in a nearby house, the rest of the Militia wait a little while longer, hoping to find an opening to race back to the Library.

"Then it is settled."

Come to an agreement where I remain King for the next seven years and retain power of the military while the President handles other domestic affairs. Use the president to my advantage, he'll handle the country while I work on dealing with the Wiki-Warriors.

As commander of the military, tell me top officers to begin recruiting the best soldiers from all regiments in a highly selective process. I want to create two 20-man teams specializing in stealth and efficient assassination to take out my competition.

Find a single Princess or Queen to arrange a Royal Marriage with to strengthen the power of Rwanda.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 12: The Storm
Parliament, Rwanda
7:41 PM (in Central Standard Time), Sunny Weather, July 18th, 2016

"Then, our deal is settled, I must ask if I can be allowed to be King through the next presidency? It will be easier on both of us if that's the case. You can be the politician. I can be the force to be reckoned with." asks TCM, current King of Rwanda. President Arendse, thinking it over, then says "That can be arranged. You will therefore remain King until my successor leaves office. Glad we could have this discussion.". The two then shake hands, and TCM walks out. He then races over to a nearby barracks, and prepares his rigorous training process, for two 20 man assassination teams. (5) Already showing some promise, it will take a bit more time to find a suitable team. He then sends his men to find a local princess or queen. (5) They discover that there is a Princess hiding out in Morocco, but why she is hiding no one knows...

"Cardinal?! You want me to write to the Vatican so that I may become a Cardinal, for some convoluted plan of yours that also involves me becoming Pope? ...Alright, sure, why not?" says Aswell, as he then sits down and begins writing a letter straight to the Vatican. (2) Through his nervousness, his hand slips and the letter eventually has several spelling mistakes, messy handwriting, and it's also on the ground. Beirus speaks up, saying "...Good luck with that friend. I have the Olympics to win!". Beirus then goes back to the sports room to continue the training. (4) Training goes slightly poorer this time, as they seem to have gotten heavier weights from somewhere. "Oh my God, haha! It's hilarious just how not being in one location for just 1 minute's got me doing things. Pfft, hahaha!"...

Essex, United Kingdom
7:41 PM (In Central Standard Time), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

As BiggerFish gears up for a landing, he then proceeds to ask, "Hey, John and George? I thought you two died. So, what's up?" John Lennon and George Harrison look at eachother, before John speaks. "Well, it's Magic, yeah? That's how we were summoned, so maybe it just pulled us through?" Accepting this explanation, BiggerFish lands the Chopper at an Airport, where they get off into Central Essex.

Sleepy Village, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:41 PM (In Central Standard Time), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

DigitalDemon does the sickest roll he can to hide behind a plank of wood. He then uses his Water God Powers to order the Blood-Ice Golem to kill the Rwandan Military. (4 v 6) The Soldiers dodge, before firing on the Golem again. (5 v 7) However, the Soldiers miss, so they run off to formulate a plan inside of a building.

DigitalDemon hides behind the couch, and begins a monologue. "Look at these cowards. They don't want to fight, they want to live, and I-" The click of a handgun's safety disabling interrupts him, turning around to see PirateJoe aiming his Makarov at his head. "Dodge this, mate." (10+2 (Point Blank Bonus) v 6) Before Digital can do anything, a bullet passes through his brain, blood spattering on the wall behind him. While he falls, he swears he hears a voice in his head. "Just as those before. You. Are. Mine. Now." The last thing DigitalDemon sees is the Silhouetted Human with purple eyes he saw in the house...
PirateJoe got a critical headshot on DigitalDemon! PirateJoe gets:
http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/TAR-21 (http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/TAR-21): +Tavor (Bullpup Assault Rifle) (30/30) +2 Magazines of Reserve Ammo

Ardent suddenly realizes that NRDL hasn't died yet, and attempts to finish the job. He charges his laser beams, and attempts to finish him off. (6 v 8-2) NRDL suddenly rolls out of the way, before dashing out the door in an attempt to live!

NRDL runs into a house, and attempts to stem his bleeding to survive. (8-2) He manages to get it to Moderate Bleeding, and so has more time to keep the fight going.

Hawk, in his decked out Exoskeleton, continues to write the biographical novel. (5+1) He finishes it, and it's a good improvement. Not the best book ever, but still fantastic. Hawk goes into the Cellar to find it decked out in firearms. Realizing his upgraded strength, he picks out 3 guns from the rack. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPD_machine_gun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPD_machine_gun), the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sten (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sten), and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun)...


The Ice Golem, after it's master dies, begins to crumble and melt...

The Rwandan Military holds for a second, before making their way back to the house, where they see Demon's death. Knowing what happened with the Golem melting, they hold their fire.

The remaining Militia sneak back to the front of the Library, where they stay put outside of the door...
-------------------------
Before I get to the sheets, I thought I'd explain DigitalDemon's death. I don't know how to explain my exact reasoning, but what I was thinking was a combination of a critical hit roll, and realistic damage. Demon got shot point blank in the head, and PirateJoe got above 10 when I rolled, due to a point blank bonus. If you think that's unfair, I do apologize, and if you want back on the Waitlist, Demon, I'll go ahead and put you on.

((I was kinda hoping my bonuses to Soccer and Bobsledding would have kicked in to help with the training. And what exactly does Catholic Practice cover? It didnt seem to apply when I prayed before, but would it apply to the conventional practice where a bunch of people repeat the same prayers over and over again while asking for stuff?))

"Tell me, Brother Aswell. Why do you think God would allow me to call you if he did not have greater plans for us both? You saw what the others could do. Their power, or the power of those that granted them power, could destroy this world. And not in the Revelations way. In the way that would result if every country launched nukes at each other. I believe God has brought us together to stop this, and for that we will need the full support of the Church. Let's look over that letter."

Use my knowledge of Catholic Practice to help Brother Aswell write his letter, and to host a special Mass where we get everyone in the church to pray for God to send a host of archangels, or just angels, to assist Brother Aswell and myself in our crusade against the other Wiki Warriors, other than TCM. Try to get this service televised by using my Catholic Practice and TV Production skills to try to reach as wide of an audience as I can. Then go keep training the Soccer and Bobsledding teams if I have time, using my knowledge of Soccer and Bobsledding to help.

@DigitalDemon: Waitlsited.

@Beirus: Since prayer is something that can be attributed to any religion, it doesn't count as something exclusively Catholic. In my mind, Catholic Practice is the assistance of Catholicism. So, yeah, the bonus won't kick in if you pray, but it will kick in if other Catholics are assisting you, or if you do something exclusively Catholic, such as using knowledge of how the Vatican works to get Aswell into the position of Cardinal, that make sense? As for the Soccer and Bobsledding, it honestly slipped my mind. Sorry, I'll make sure to add the bonus to you teaching those activities as well as performing them yourself.

"Preparations are over. Time to wreak havoc."

Grab the RPD. Look for some webbing and other LBE gear to enhance my ammo carrying capacity. Then check if there are any grenade launchers in the armory. In order of preference - Milkor MGL>China Lake>M79. If grenade launcher is found, sling it over my shoulder (I mean literally, since it should have a tactical sling). Load up on ammo, focus mostly on 7.62x39mm for the RPD, but don't forget to take some grenades (about 2 reloads worth for the Milkor and China Lake. If I only got the M79 or an equivalent, take ~10 'nades) so that I have an 'oh shit' button at the ready. Then go outside and look for other Wiki Warriors. Once a Warrior is found, fill them with lead.

Begin a smear campaign on the other Wiki-Warriors (besides Beirus) claiming that they are part of anti-Muslim conspiracy sent out by NATO to cause destruction and death in the Middle East under the guise of a harmless game show.

Speaking of Beirus, donate the equivalent of $100,000 U.S. dollars to his sports cause, allowing them to purchase the best equipment, better trainers and medical support, etc. If we can win a medal in the Olympics, it will surely boost the international influence and prestige of Rwanda.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 13: Elite Force
Parliament, Rwanda
7:41 PM (in Central Standard Time), Sunny Weather, July 18th, 2016

Beirus, speaking to Aswell as he continues to write the letter, says, "Tell me, Brother Aswell. Why do you think God would allow me to call you if he did not have greater plans for us both? You saw what the others could do. Their power, or the power of those that granted them power, could destroy this world. And not in the Revelations way. In the way that would result if every country launched nukes at each other. I believe God has brought us together to stop this, and for that we will need the full support of the Church. Let's look over that letter.". Aswell, trusting Beirus, allows Beirus to write the letter in his name. (9+2) Beirus crafts a beautiful letter about Aswell's accomplishments, and accolades. He then posts it in a Parcel System that has a route going through the Vatican. Beirus then walks back to the training room, to see all his students ready to go for the Olympics. Seeing as how the Olympics won't be for a few months, they still need training. (9+3(Soccer)+1(Bobsledding)) The Training goes to the absolute limit, and everyone goes to their absolute highest potential. So much so, that they're pretty much set. They don't need anymore training as they are essentially Champions of what they do. All the men and women in the room continue training without Beirus's guidance, self-training machines ready to take home the gold! ...In a few months, anyway, but when that happens, Rio!

TCM, the current King of the small African country of Rwanda, continues training his Rwandan Assassin Squad, that he has dubbed the Elite Force. (10) Two 20 man teams equal 40 assassins. Why am I giving you a Math Lesson? Simple, TCM just got 40 well trained Assassins, that's why! ...Ahem, anyway. He then proceeds to donate the cash, which gives the already monstrously powerful Rwandan Sports Teams an even bigger advantage against the other teams! He then sends an attachment of the normal Rwandan Military to Morocco, after it's leader agrees, so long as they can find the Princess. (3) Aside from a few clues including a hand drawn map in her old room with what appear to be stains from spilled water, and a written message saying, needless to say very insane things. Things like "He is the first," and "The Light leaving them." are scattered on the page. After that, King TCM then proceeds to begin his smear campaign, to get the other Wiki-Warriors accused of Anti-Muslim agenda. (10) TCM's grand smear speech accuses TheBiggerFish, PirateJoe, NRDL, Hawk, and Ardent as being spies sent by NATO to perform terrorist acts in Afghanistan, with the intent of destroying the government so that that the person who put this together, Jess Warner, can allow the Warner Industrial Program to expand into a Mega-Corporation that'll control world economy. At this, the Rwandan people begin cheering for their king, and begin making plans to raid the area. Phase One is complete...

Essex, United Kingdom
7:41 PM (in Central Standard Time), Sunny Weather, July 18th, 2016

TheBiggerFish gets them ready for the concert, giving them their instruments and refreshments. The 4 go out and give the best set they have. BiggerFish finds their music wonderful. (2) But while it seems the Modern People agree that the music is good, the concert is still ruined by one thing, or a couple of deaths and some aging. "John Lennon and George Harrison are dead, and Ringo and Paul don't look this young!" shouts one man, while another merely says, "I thought Paul was dead, too". At that, the Concert devolves into chaos, with BiggerFish and the Beatles escaping. After they get outside, though, they find a TV playing in a shop window, because that's still a thing. The TV is playing a News Broadcast, about a possible attack on a Village in Afghanistan. While it's not the actual Wiki-War they're talking about, it's clear they may find out. The Broadcast is about how several people, including BiggerFish, are actaully Terrorists sent by Jess Warner to topple the government. (6) Luckily for him, a Vocal Majority of the people watching the Broadcast, in Essex anyway, either don't care, or simply believe it to be a Smear Campaign, and those who do believe it's true can't really do anything about it.

Sleepy Village, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:41 PM (in Central Standard Time), Sunny Weather, July 18th, 2016

PirateJoe runs off from the Village, going to a small clearing where he begins to cast his Wind Magic once again! (4+1) It's only 1 normal sized tornado, (9) but it's current path will have it make passes to everyone in the Town!

(9 v 1) The Military is first, and the Tornado wipes most of them out in seconds, their bodies flying through the air, and crashing into nearby buildings. Only one survives, and it's the SPAS-12 soldier with a shard of ice in his eye, who got out of the way of the resulting burst of Wind Magic.

(9 v 3) It then makes a pass to the Library, where some Militia get dragged off. However, the now 13 man Militia run inside, but that probably won't help.

(7 v 10) It then bursts inside the Library heading straight for Ardent! Ardent then uses his energy absorbing powers to take the Wind Magic, charging up his powers again!

Despite the fact that only a few soldiers and Militia, it was still better than nothing. PirateJoe then tries to find a vehicle, to escape from this place, or to run down someone. (6) He finds a still functioning station wagon parked near the clearing, with a sticky note on the windshield, saying "For PirateJoe! Who I may be seeing soon..."

NRDL, hiding out in a house near the outskirts of town, tears of pieces of his clothes in order to make bandages. (1-2 (Weakness and Injuries)) However, a combination of sheer pain and and being near unconsciousness prevents him from even taking off a scrap. Still, he stands, ready to fight, or at least ready to live.

Speaking of NRDL's hypothetical death, we have Ardent and the Militia, along with Basher, ready to take NRDL on. They charge forward, barging into houses to try to find him. (8) While the Militia run around the town, Ardent sneaks in through the back door of a house, and sees NRDL prepared to fight anyone who comes through the front door. After Ardent takes a trip back to grab his Masterwork Broadsword from birdy's corpse, he then sneaks back in, and prepares a backstab. (3+1 (Sneaking) v 10-2) However, Ardent makes too much noise, and NRDL sidesteps before attempting an attack of his own. (5-2 v 6) Ardent sidesteps a punch from NRDL, and the two stare eachother down...

Speaking to himself, Hawk says, "Preparations are over. Time to wreak havoc.". He then picks up the RPD, checking the drum magazine to find an impressive 100 rounds, which is standard for the firearm. He then picks up and additional 2 drum magazines, each with 100 rounds, and attaches slings in over his shoulder with a tactical sling. He then tries to find a way to carry even more rounds, (2) but decides against it, as 300 rounds of ammo should be enough to take anyone down. He then looks for 3 grenade launchers he wanted. (4) He does find ammo for the Milkor MGL, but it appears the gun itself was taken. (9) He does manage to find the China Lake, which he slings over his shoulder. He then picks up 2 HE Grenades, and loads them in, before taking an additional 4 HE Grenades to make 2 additional reloads. He grabs the RPD and looks for a Wiki-Warrior. (3) He doesn't see anyone at first, but if he keeps looking...


"You know, we haven't really shown up in a while." "Is that a bad thing?" "...Nah, let's keep watching."

PirateJoe is about to get into the Station Wagon, before the sound of a shotgun shell being loaded into a gun stops whatever train of thought he had. "You...You killed my squad. I-I want revenge!" The One Eyed Soldier says, pointing his SPAS-12 at PirateJoe. (2 v 3) Joe rolls out of the way of the shot, before rising to his feet, and aiming his Makarov at The One Eyed Soldier's face. "If you want to live, you'll get over it."

As the Militia run from house to house, Basher notices his leader's disappearance. Finding the house that Ardent is in, he notices the epic stare down NRDL is giving him, and Ardent is giving right back. Deciding to wait until Ardent's in trouble, Basher hides behind a wall.

@Beirus: Ah, man. I am just messing up aren't I? I'll apply it in the future for the Soldier in Sleepy Village, and since the Elite Force counts, them too. I have no real in universe reason, really. Again, sorry.

@NRDL: In my mind, your weakness and injuries are making it difficult to use the Speedforce, as you need to concentrate to access this sort of power. At least, that makes sense to me, anyway.

Give the 2 Assassin Teams a Mission Briefing on wiping out all of the hostile Wiki Warriors. Send them out via Helicopter 5 miles outside of the city where the battle started and then have them sneak in, covertly wiping out their targets. The whole time I want to monitor their progress via reconnaissance drone.

Declare that Rwanda is now considered neutral territory for discussions between Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders. Invite them all hear to peacefully discuss ways to promote tolerance between their people. Declare Brother Aswell the leader of these discussion. The purpose of this is two-fold: 1. Promote Brother Aswell's influence in the Vatican by making him a highly revered Catholic, after all, who better to be the Pope than the man working to end religious conflicts around the world? 2. Make Rwanda more popular and increase our support and influence among religious people.

Give up on the search for the Moroccan Princess and look for a single Muslim Princess from the Middle East instead.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 14: Vigor of God
Essex, United Kingdom
7:42 PM (CST), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

After hearing that the general population of Essex's response to BiggerFish being accused of Anti-Government Activities was "meh", BiggerFish and the Beatles go back to the concert hall in an attempt to address the riot. "Yes, they died.  However, magic.  I don't know how nor, really, why, but they're back now and I went to all this bloody trouble to get them here and you're just rioting for no good reason?  Hmph.  I thought you were better than that.". (9) The rioters stop to let the words sink in, before the younger of the audience says, "Does, uh, that mean Paul's still alive?" The rest of the hall, ignoring him, sit back down and ask for the Beatles to keep going. They oblige, beginning to play Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which gets a standing ovation.

Parliament, Rwanda
7:42 PM (CST), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

TCM begins his work after that trying to find more royalty to marry to secure strength for Rwanda. He attempts to find a Muslim Princess from the Middle East to marry off. (9) He manages to find another abandoned royal, a 23 year old princess named Raheena Kader. She currently resides in a Royal Housing in Central Asia. Keeping that in mind, TCM sends out the call for the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Religious Leaders. (4) The 3 Religious Leaders due to delays and distance, will take a few minutes ((2 turns)) to get there. Keeping that in mind as well, TCM walks into a room to brief the Elite Force on their mission. "Men. I have a specific assignment for all of you. Your operation is to stealthily eliminate the Wiki-Warriors not associated with me or Beirus. I will hand you all standard issue equipment. Suppressed Handguns, Knives, and a Recon Drone that I can lead you all through. I will give you intel so that you may know where your opponents lie. At ease." The Soldiers run off to a nearby chopper, with their destination being Sleepy Village. (3) Due to fuel consumption that happened when TCM, Beirus and Aswell were evacuated, it will take quite a while to actually get there. ((3 turns))

Due to the letter, many Catholics in Rwanda go to Parliament to pray to stop the conflict. (3+2) God answers the Prayer by speeding up the Helicopter containing the Elite Force, leading to only a 1 turn delay, but nothing else really happens. Still, the people who prayed feel the Virtue of Pride due to their contribution.

Sleepy Village, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:42 PM (CST), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

PirateJoe, letting his aim drop to One Eyed Soldier's chest, before giving him one last chance. "Now, if you would be so kind as to drop your gun and let me be on my way that'd be nice...". Before One Eyed Soldier can give a response, he suddenly feels...invigorated! As though the Lord has blessed him, he feels ready to take on the world! "You killed my friends. You will not escape. I swear it! To the Lord!" (5+3 v 4) Before PirateJoe can react, One Eyed Soldier fires the SPAS-12 into PirateJoe's chest! It doesn't kill him, pellet spread and all, but it deals quite a heavy blow. He body begins bleeding moderately. PirateJoe then tries to fire his Makarov at One Eyed Soldier. (6-1(Injury) v 6+3) One Eyed Soldier dives out of the way of the gunfire, and rises to his feet. "My callsign is "Cobra". Just thought you should know your murderer.". PirateJoe looks stunned, before letting out a chuckle. "Y-You honestly think that? This is the Real World, kid. Revenge doesn't fix everything...".

Ardent, thinking quickly before NRDL can escape, charges forward in a stabbing motion! (4 v 4-2) NRDL gets a flesh wound stabbed into his right leg, which trips him up slightly. Ardent then lets a cry to get his Militia to the house! (3) The only people who hear the cry are NRDL and Basher.

NRDL, trying to tap into the Speedforce, tries to use said power to escape the battle. (4-2) Due to his wounds and weaknesses, the Speedforce doesn't activate, but NRDL still wants to try to escape! (7-2) He distracts Ardent with a sneaky noise before leaving out the front door.

Hawk continues to search for Wiki-Warriors or clusters of enemies. (8) He manages to hear the SPAS-12 going off, and runs to it. Seeing Cobra and PirateJoe aiming at eachother, he aims his RPD at the non-competitor first. (8 v 5+3) Hearing the Safety clicking off on the RPD, Cobra dives out of the way, the fire of the LMG hitting the ground, kicking up dust. In retaliation, Cobra aims at Hawk. (3+3 v 10) Even with his holy power, being fired at causes him to lose focus, missing Hawk by a mile. Cobra then runs back into the town, ducking behind a building. With that, Hawk and PirateJoe stare eachother down...


Basher runs back to the Militia , informing them of NRDL's last known location. They then try to find NRDL. (5) They don't see NRDL, but they do find Ardent, and the house they were in. They begin plotting to kill their opponents.

Cobra runs behind a building, looking around before crouching down...

Round 15: Training for Triumph
Essex, United Kingdom
7:42 PM (CST), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

"The show must go on, lads!" says BiggerFish, prompting The Beatles to gauge reactions to see if they shpuld continue playing. (3) While the music is as good as it was years ago, and people will be raving, everyone's either too exhausted, or slightly injured from the riots. Suddenly, a woman walks up to the 5. She seems meek, but that could be because of the star power of 4 of the men involved. "E-Excuse me, sirs? My name is Abigail Walters. I work for a, um, a record company up in London, and I was wondering if I could give you a record deal. You would be making quite a few Pounds, and you would make new albums that fans will love. W-what do you s-say, sirs?" The Beatles turn to their new manager, BiggerFish, to see if that's a good idea. Abigail speaks up again, saying "I-If you need more incentive, the exact deal is 4,000 Pounds up front, and we can do specific pay if you accept"...

Parliament, Rwanda
7:42 PM (CST), Clear Night, July 18th, 2016

After contacting everyone involved with Princess Kader, TCM and Raheena finally meet over Skype Call set up in their respective offices. (6) Despite opening with a terrible pick up line and I do mean terrible, the two have a pleasant conversation, and eventually, the conversation turns to dating, and the two schedule a dinner date, to be held in a public area. (8) The pair agree to a local restaurant in the Middle East. TCM agrees to make the trip up to the Middle East, but only after he makes embassy with the Religious Leaders, to which Raheena agrees.

Beirus, deciding to train both Aswell and himself, decides to start a fighting style based around kicking, using his soccer training as a base. (10) They both gain a fantastic understanding of hand to hand combat, or rather foot to face combat. They attain mastery of the art of Soccer Based Combat. ((+2 to Kicks for both Beirus and Aswell))

Sleepy Village, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:42 PM (CST), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

Hawk stares PirateJoe down, before aiming his RPD at Joe. (1 v 8-1) Despite the injuries, Joe dodges around. Remembering what the Zartheth said, and therefore justifying his murder, Joe aims right at Hawk! (3-1 v 4) Unfortunately, his aim is off.

Deciding death is, you know, bad, PirateJoe decides getting in the Station Wagon is the best option. Diving in, he finds the keys in the passenger's seat, and Joe starts up the engine. However, the racking of the China Lake's pump suddenly stops him. He begins driving, just as he sees an HE Grenade coming towards him. (2 v 4-1) Joe swerves, the Grenade blowing a nearby tree away. Joe attempts flooring it to Russia. (6) He will need to stop at a few Gas Stations, but he'll make it.

NRDL, hiding in a nearby bush, attempts to stem his wounds. (10) He manages to stop his bleeding, and gets his strength back, returning him to peak condition.

Ardent attempts to his competition, and eliminate them. (8) Looking in a nearby bush, Ardent suddenly sees NRDL, fresh as day, inside. Letting out a battle cry, Ardent attempts to stab through the bush. (9 v 7) A flesh wound is stabbed through his arm, but aside from the skin tearing, nothing else happens. NRDL then attempts to flee from the battle. (8) He sucker pucnhes Ardent, before speeding off across town.


Cobra continues to hide, waiting for anything.

The Helicopter carrying the Elite Force lands, and after rappelling down to the forest clearing, they see Hawk. Having heard what would happen if he dies, one decides that would remove multiple birds with one stone. (10+3 v 4) Sneaking behind Hawk, a member of the Elite Force does his job and fires a 45. bullet through the skull of Hawk, his corpse falling onto the floor, with a pool of blood under him. The Drone takes a picture of the body, and sends it to Rwanda.
Hawk has been assassinated! Due to affiliations, TCM gets:
http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/William_%22Bill%22_Overbeck (http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/William_%22Bill%22_Overbeck): +2 Firearms, +M16 (Assault Rifle, 30/30) (2 Magazines of Reserve Ammo), +Medkit, +Pain Pills, +2 Molotov Cocktails

Due to the sudden death of Hawk, the Zartheth suddenly, without much warning, fire a large death laser at Sleepy Village!

(1 v 4) Ardent suddenly runs off, sprinting into a safe zone marked by the edge of a red target.

(1 v 10) NRDL superspeed dashes out of Sleepy Village, dashing toward a land border to Central Asia!

(2 v 4) Cobra races toward the target, managing to get to the safe zone.

(4 v 9) The R.I.S.E. Drone notices the threat first, and TCM speeds him off, outside of the target.

(1 v 4) The Elite Force follows, outside of the area.

(1 v 4) The Militia run out of the target, fleeing the destruction.

While no one died, Hawk did get his vengeance in some way. The town that everyone first met in suddenly turns into a crater. Due to the destruction of their homes, the Militia suddenly race away from Ardent, fleeing away. Other than Basher, the Militia is gone, becoming homeless, broken men.

Either I roll to see if you actually survived, and if I roll bad the forcefield failed to activate, or I could fudge it so that you actually lived, and take away TCM's new article. I'm asking because I don't want to be unfair. What do you want to happen? I am really, genuinely sorry I failed to remember something that crucial, and ruined the game for you in the process.

I'd rather stay alive. And since my luck is pretty crap when it comes to life-and-death situations in games I'd prefer option #2.

But it's a pretty damn good article TCM is going to lose and it feels like having me live would be kinda dick-ish.

So how about option #3? Give TCM the article but have the power armor have some kind of nanobots that can repair any damage, even resurrecting a person? Of course, the nanobots only have one charge and can no longer be used.

BiggerFish considers the offer made by Abigail for a moment, before saying, "Look, I'm sure you're a nice girl, and people would love new albums. But, Paul and Ringo have made a lot more than what you're offering on Royalties alone. I apologize, but we, as a group, have to decline." (7) Abigail nods, saying, "True, true. Not a huge loss. Still, it was glad to finally meet you. ...H-hey, actually, people will want to ask questions, and speculation leads to misconception. I-I was wondering if I could d-do an interview with all of you, for the Internet's sake?" Ignoring John's reaction of "Internet?", Biggerfish ponders that as well.

Parliament, Rwanda
7:43 PM (CST), Clear Night Sky, July 18th, 2016

TCM, happy he gets to at least secure a date with Raheena, goes to greet the Leaders who just landed in Rwanda. Pope Angelus,and Imam Thamir Imara. TCM responds with, "Huh, forgot there's no real Jewish leader. Never the less, come in. We have a feast prepared. Uh, only some of it is kosher, most of us are pretty liberal. We do have options, though. Uh, Brother Aswell will be here shortly, he'll be leading the discussion.". The two nod, and sit down at the feast table, which has assortments of different drinks and food. After plating up, Angelus and Imara eat and discuss recent events, before Aswell comes inside. "Imam Imara, glad to meet you. And, Pope Angelus, it is an honor to speak to you. Now, let us discuss Religious Tolerance, to end non-tolerance, that even in today's society still happens." (2) The talks start quite poorly, as the two leaders begin talking about personal injustices, rather than how society is treating them, or how they're treating society. "Oh, dear Lord." While the talks go down, TCM decides to contact the New York Times to write an article about the Wiki-War. (2+2) An aspiring Author agrees to write up his story, but he does not work with the Times, but rather an independent column on the Internet.

Beirus, wanting to help stop this battle earlier, leads a prayer with the Catholics in town to attempt to smite a Wiki-Warrior. (10+2) The Prayer works, and a random Wiki-Warrior other than TCM will not only get struck by Lightning, but it will get be a powerful attack as well! (D4 Roll to see who gets hit, +2 to the attack. 1=PirateJoe, 2=NRDL, 3=Ardent, 4=BiggerFish) He then decides to see if he can broadcast his story to the world to garner support. (10+1) He manages to nab a TV Signal, and it not only airs, but it does so internationally. Beirus gears up and brings this message. "People of the World, this is Beirus. I am here to expose the truth! In a village in Afghanistan, there is a battle going on, perpetrated by two men, Jess Warner, and Logan Sawyer. They are doing this for their own sick pleasure, to feast on the pain of the innocent! Please, if you know where these people are, rise up! Take them down, and stop. This. War.". The Broadcast then goes dark, but people all around the world saw it. They begin to rise, and many of them look for Jess Warner and Logan Sawyer, these monstehahah-thes-these monshahaha! Wow, an uprising? Jaws...execute Delta Plan after this match ends, would ya? Of course...

Sleepy Village, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:43 PM (CST), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

While at a Gas Station, PirateJoe lets a prayer out for Kanako Yasaka for blessing him, before continuing his drive to Russia.

NRDL continues running, the theme song for the Flash on the CW playing in his mind as he runs. Once he's sure he's not in danger, he attempts to find where he superspeeded to. (1) Not only does he have no idea where he is, but he doesn't even have anything to go off of. He's just in a clear plain, grass under his feet.

((Idle)) Possibly in shock, or fear, Ardent simply collapses to his knees, an empty expression on his face.


The Elite Force attempts to use the R.I.S.E. Drone to find a Wiki-Warrior. (3) The R.I.S.E. Drone finds someone, and the Elite Force races to them. Before they can raise their firearms, Cobra raises his arms and says, "Friendly! Friendly! I'm a part of the Rwandan Military! I serve King TCM, and President Imani Arendse, and the country of Rwanda!". (7) The Elite Force holster their guns, and the R.I.S.E. Drone transmits Cobra's survival to President Arendse, who is in the control room of the Drone.

Basher, seeing his leader collapse, goes to convince the Militia to return to his side by running to the De-Moralized men. (10) He not only convinces them to come back, but also brings back their morale with this. "Hey, guys. Look, I know our home is gone. Our families that aren't here, or have escaped, have gone with the town. But, Ardent gave us a mission. This is just more of a reason to accomplish said mission. We should stop this fight. Who cares if the War ends, this specific battle has torn us apart, and we need to fix it! Who's with me!". The Militia agree, with thunderous applause, they race back to Ardent.

Hawk lays there motionless on a screen on the Zartheth ship, where the Aliens are watching. They are tall, lanky, light blue humanoids with 3 eyes, and all 3 of the eyes of the commander are looking at a video console eyeing Hawk's corpse."We have more agents, this was...wait a minute. What about the Nano-Droids?" asks the Commander, as the rest of the Zartheth look in shock, as though they feel lost for not thinking about that before they blew up a town.

The Nano-Droids suddenly activate, and Hawk suddenly sucks in breath, before yelling in pain as the Nano-Droids repair the hole in the back of his head, his organs also suddenly restarting. They also check and repair the Forcefield, having found a fault near the back of the head. After fixing Hawk and the Forcefield up, The Nano-Droids suddenly cease function. Hawk rises to his feet, and picks up his RPD and China Lake, before looking at the Crater. Telepathically, the Zartheth Commander says, "Hawk, we have a new assignment. Rather than winning the battle over all, we have deemed Competitor TCM a threat, due to his forces being the ones who ended your life. If you can eliminate him, and his "Elite Force", we shall reward you." Hawk, nodding, walks a bit to regain his footing, before starting back to the town.
Hawk132 has been brought back from the dead!

Suddenly, a flash of lightning hits (3) Ardent! (3+2 v 6) Even in shock, Ardent rolls away from the blast of lightning, just in time to see his troops return.

These religious talks are not going well. Maybe our guests should relax instead of being so caught up in personal injuries. Offer them each a glass of a local drink, Rwandan Flower Wine, which contains secret ingredients to help calm the drinker such as crushed amethyst, dandelion wine and just the right amount of marijuana.

Well, if it's just an Internet Blog so be it: Begin rampant shit-posting about the other Wiki-Warriors. Make them memes so that everyone on the Internet can identify their faces with ease.

Since Hawk has displayed the remarkable ability to resurrect, make him a priority target. When he is killed again, have the Elite Assassination Teams separate his body into multiple parts, carried to multiple locations and disposed of via submersion in deep water, fire, or acid if it is available.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 17: A Mission From the Stars Above
Essex, United Kingdom
7:43 PM (CST, Approximate), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

BiggerFish ponders Abigail's request for an interview, before he nods his head and says, "Well.  It's a long story and I'm not sure whether there's an NDA in it.  But yes." Abigail then responds, voice wavering a bit, "O-Okay, then. Th-That sounds great! Just a f-few questions, sirs. I guess I should start with, h-how are John and George alive? And, what happened to bring you here?" BiggerFish then prepares his response...

Parliament, Rwanda
7:43 PM (Approximate, CST), Clear Night Sky, July 18th, 2016

Beirus attempts to use the power of God's wrath again, with the Catholic Church once again assisting. (7+2) He once again gets a Blessed Bolt, but it does not have it's power increase to be better at it's strike. Beirus then walks into the place where the talks are happening, and attempts to resolve the matter using analogies relating to the sport he's so good at. (2+3+1) He calms Imam Imara and Pope Angelus down enough to listen to reason, Brother Aswell giving a thumbs up in return.

TCM, deciding that even calmed down these two may not be the most agreeable, decides to create his Patent Pending Rwandan Flower Wine, which is a standard Red Wine with added ingredients such as Crushed Amethyst, Dandelion Wine, and Marijuana. Upon bringing the concoction to the table, Imam Imara says, "While this is a nice gesture, I'm afraid Wine just isn't under Halal. I am appreciative of the gesture, though.". Nodding his head, Angelus, TCM, and both of the Catholics in the room drink the Wine. It works wonders for their psyche, and the talks continue. (5) They get around to talking this time, but while some progress is made, it will take a bit to actually do anything. TCM then goes back into his private quarters, and responds with an affirmative on the interview. The Interviewer then responds with 4 questions: 1. What is this Wiki-War, and who started it? 2. Who are the competitors in this conflict, and did they volunteer? 3. How do you plan on stopping this conflict? and 4. How, exactly, do you plan on stopping me, huh?

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
7:43 PM (CST, Approximate), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

Ardent, having been re-stunned following the lightning strike, suddenly regains consciousness to see his men return to his side. Ready to march outward, the Militia re-groups to find a new plan of attack.

Hawk scouts around, looking for his targets, and finds the Elite Force and Cobra scouting for more people. Without making a sound, he loads an HE Grenade into the China Lake and pumps it, before aiming down the sights. (3+1 v 5+3) All of the opposition see him, however, and the Elite Force dodges. (10+3) Cobra actually uses his Holy Abilities to catch the Grenade, before flinging it back at Hawk! (8 v 4) The resulting explosion rocks Hawk, which propels him into a rock, causing the Forcefield (First Roll, Explosion, 8 damage. Second Roll, flung into a rock, 3 damage. 11 damage) minor damage, it's shape cascading.

?
7:43 PM (CST, Approximate), Overcast, July 18th, 2016

NRDL, confused as to where exactly he is, attempts to use his power to find the nearest media device, so he can find his way. (8) He finds the signal is a TV, and he goes over to find it. He discovers a house, two floors, and he knocks on the door. A man answers the door, and NRDL inside once he explains his story. The Living Room is nice, there is a couch with Purple Upholstery. There is a FlatScreen TV opened up to Netflix. Next to the couch is a coffee table, with a book on it. It appears to be quite the large book, and it is labeled, "The Triad: The True Story of the Cult of Jericho." NRDL inquires about the book, to which the man says, "You can read that if you want. Long story short, it's about this real life, uh, society? I don't know, I can't explain crap."

Somewhere in Russia
7:43 PM (CST, Approximate), Clear Night Sky, July 18th, 2016

At a snow covered back north of a Kazakhstan land border into Russia, PirateJoe looks around, trying to find a town that he can use as a homebase of operations to become a Russian Spy. (5) He manages to find a small town in the snow bank, which, even at night, still has citizens walking around. After making small talk with one of the locals, he asks a young woman walking into a store where the person who runs the town is. (1) Unfortunately, the woman does not speak English, nor does she know anyone who can in the town. Deciding that's good enough, and with his leather armor providing warmth, Joe gets back in his Station Wagon, and continues driving to Moscow.


After dodging the explosive, The Elite Force could not afford to take anymore chances with Hawk. Since Cobra had the bigger gun, it was decided that he would finish the job, and if he died, the rest of the force would rush in afterward. Taking the R.I.S.E. Drone with him, Cobra raced into where Hawk was, which was a Forest near the town. After running in, he sees Hawk standing back up, none worse for wear. With a steady hand, Cobra aimed down the sights, and fired. (8+3 v 8) Despite hitting the Forcefield, it still rocks Hawk a bit. He quickly regains his footing, and aims at Cobra with his RPD. (5 v 8+3) 10 rounds fire out of the LMG, and 10 rounds hit the ground near Cobra. With guns aimed at eachother, it's only a matter of time... (1d10, 7 damage.)

(2) Suddenly, as NRDL is about to pick up the book, a bright flash erupts from the windows. (9 v 4) Lightning bolts in from the outside, which sends a current straight through NRDL! He does, however, survive. What does happen is that his skin and clothing get flash-burned. It's not heavy burns, but there is dead skin and charred flesh, his clothing torn and ripped.

You may have noticed me getting a little more wordy there. Well, that's because having it be more descriptive adds to the experience. Now, onto a quick little question. Should I continue using the clock system, or should I just do a simple day/night thing? I feel like the Clock makes things look like they take longer or vice versa, but I also like having that detail. What do you guys think?

I get it now, it's no big deal.
I'm fine with however you handle the time aspect of the game. I suspect there are other people who are more effected by it anyhow.

"The Wiki-Wars are run by a privatized corporation that labels the game a sporting competition.

The competitors are volunteers who claim to be fighting for themselves but are merely pawns of the Wiki Warfare Corporation."

The King grins. "To answer your last too questions, how do you showcase a game with no competitors?"

Afterwards, check on how the religious leaders are doing.

The Elite Task Force should keep doing what they are doing. Inquire if we can send them further military support.

Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on May 06, 2016, 07:19:58 pm
@Beirus: I suppose, thinking about it, the in-universe reason may be that Hawk even thinking of the idea has caused the smithing to lose power? I don't know, having the mere ability to actually be able to end the existence of someone like God would cause anyone to lose focus, even someone as omnipotent as God, due to the mere fact that possibility exists? I don't know, that was on the spot thinking. In any case, I apologize. I know it's not that big of a deal, or at least I hope it's not, but I probably could have called it better. I don't want to alter the turn to kill NRDL, nor do I think anyone wants me to.

Match 1: Deathmatch
Round 18: No Gods or Kings, Only Man
Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

Dust kicked up off the ground as Ardent Debater, mind as fresh as it ever was, rose to the call of his troops. Looking around, he tried to find someone, anyone, that could be a hazard to what was left of the village which was absolutely nothing. [2] Unfortunately, anyone he could find wasn't there, having been scattered across the globe. Basher, seeing the dismay on his leader's face, tries to find evidence as to where people could have gone. [6] He spots a bullet casing in an intact house just slightly out of the way of the crater, the oddly intact corpse of DigitalDemon still inside. While it doesn't show the whereabouts of anyone, the bullet casing at least shows that one Warrior has a firearm.

Hawk, thinking quickly as the now-alone soldier named Cobra aims a gun at him, fires. [9 v 3+3] Hawk's idea was, and is simple. Use his powers in novelization to destroy the very concept of a deity, or more simply, Kill God. Despite the fact he hadn't done it yet, the Smiting hadn't killed anyone, and Cobra had just been shot 10 times by an LMG, his form collapsing to the ground. His thoughts wandered, and he still didn't know what happened, or even how said thing happened. At this, Hawk fires a Grenade at the Elite Force to cover his escape. [10 v 4] The Grenade hits one man, who explodes into Blood and Gore, and two others are wounded. The R.I.S.E. Drone also sustains heavy damage, falling to the ground. Hawk then runs into a house in order to write his newest book, "No Gods, No Kings, Only Man". [3+1] He manages around 15-20 pages, before stopping. He doesn't know why he stopped, but he's eager to continue.

?
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

With pain seemingly consuming NRDL, only one thought crossed his mind. "Why am I not dead?". While he didn't have an exact answer to that question, he did have an inkling to ask the man. "First of all, who are you? Second of all, where am I? Third of all, can you help me? Fourth of all, how am I not dead?", said NRDL, the pain subsiding. The Man looked up, before saying, "My name is Adam Jared. You're currently in a house near Central Asia. I can get you some bandages, and burn ointment. As to how you're not dead, I'm pretty sure they had something to do with it." At that, NRDL asked who they was, to which Adam responded by tapping the book on the coffee table, before making his leave to grab the bandages and ointment. NRDL looks on in confusion, before shrugging, dusting himself off, and then sitting on the couch to watch something on Netflix.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

Snow was still on the outskirts of the city of Moscow, to which PirateJoe was indifferent, the snow and the cold not really being a priority as he parked his car and walked into the city. For now, it was time to become a Russian Spy! [7] He looks around, and finds a couple who speaks English, who could use some help. See, they saw their daughter, Larisa Essena, doing odd things throughout the last few days. She was coming home late, wearing darker colors like Black, Purple, and Navy Blue, and spent most of her time drawing at the Kitchen Table, but she wouldn't let her parents see. They ask PirateJoe if he'd be interested, making sure to throw in that a fair bit of money would be thrown in to make it sweeter...

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 18/7/2016.

BiggerFish thinks for a second, letting his thoughts wonder, before blurting out, "Magic.". Abigail does a double take at that, before gesturing to continue, to which BiggerFish responds. "Well, we were brought to this village in Afghanistan by someone named Jaws, who was prompted to do so by this guy named Jess Warner. Some people were gearing up to fight, when this King guy came in. He was talking about peace and love, and that was cool, when I made the smart idea to call Jess and Jaws out on their bull. Within seconds, Jess had shot me, and within a minute, the two had landed their Helicopter on the roof of a building, to which they tried to kill me. I managed to take the Helicopter, snatch up the Beatles, then go back in time to save Ringo, who had been killed by Meteors. When we came back, we met this guy named the Operator, who I think is an absolutely terrible name for someone as great as he says he is. Then, we were flying, then we came here. Make sense?". Abigail ponders for a moment, before simply saying, "No, but I'll take your word for it. Now, can you explain who the Operator, Jess, and Jaws are, exactly? Specifics will be great for the column! I-if that's okay, anyway.". BiggerFish nods, before thinking of his response.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 18/7/2016.

Before doing anything, Beirus decides to figure out why nothing happened, so he prays for answers. [3] While quite vague, it does point to...interference. Trying to figure things out, Beirus comes to the conclusion that the Dark Magic that caused the games is, in some way, causing interference in the way God's power is manifesting on the Mortal Earth. Before he can figure out where the interference is coming from, or even how to stop it, he remembers the Religious Leaders in the next room, and decides to continue the metaphors. [4+3+1=8] Pope Angelus and Imam Imara are quite pleased to hear how they can set about Religious Tolerance, and Aswell gives another thumbs up. Beirus walks back into the Holy Room, and brings the people together to pray, this time for something that can stop this "Interference". [1+2] Unfortunately, it appears that even with good intentions, whatever's happening is making it difficult to contact.

TCM thinks for a moment, the Operator providing the last question seemingly not fazing him, before he gives his response. "First off, the games are being run by a privatized corporation, who are doing these games for sport. Secondly, the competitors are volunteers. They claim to be fighting for themselves, but they are really fighting for the Wiki-Warfare Corporation. And for those last two...how, exactly, do you run a game with no competitors?" At this, the person writing the article looks up, his irises dark purple, before laughing in a voice that sounds deep, and yet is echoing as if millions were speaking. He then speaks, saying, "Oh, well done. When this guy comes back, he'll type that up. In the meanwhile, I'm sure the next question he'd ask, at least for clarity's sake, is if you were a competitor yourself? I mean, you said they work for Ol' Jessie, so...yeah.". At that, TCM frowns, before perking up a bit, thinking of his response...


The Elite Force, reeling after the blast, assign around 18 of them to help out Cobra, the two survivors, and the R.I.S.E. Drone. [1+3] They manage to stabilize Cobra, but the Drone and the Survivors will need to be worked on. At this, the remaining 20 go out to look for Hawk. [6] They manage to find a cluster of houses, but it will take of time to look for Hawk.

Load in a new grenade. Continue writing and keep away from windows. If the Elite Force realizes my location while still a fair distance away from me, commence grenade barrage. If they enter the building I'm in, be ready with the RPD. If I see a flashbang getting thrown in, turn away from it and cover my ears.

"Does every soldier fight for the same cause? I leave you to ruminate on that."

The King has his bodyguards escort the "reporter" out.

Meanwhile, he talks to the Pope and the Imam separately and asks if they would be willing to call a Crusade and a Jihad against the Wiki-Warriors respectively. Reveal that after discussion with Brother Beirus, it appears that one and possibly more of the Wiki-Warriors is now harnessing Demonic Satanic powers that are actively interfering in God's connection with Earth.

Have the 18-man squad split into 2 9-man divisions, 9 will stabilize the survivors while the other 9 will work on Drone Prepare.

The 20-man assault team is continue to look for Hawk without letting him spot them. When they uncover his position, flashbang the building and then assassinate him before he can retaliate. If they are successful in this, begin the procedure in dismantling his body and destroying the pieces separately.

Round 19: Preventing the Godkiller
Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/18/2016

As the prayer ends the first time, Beirus suddenly speaks up. "No! Don't stop yet! Think about it, there's something out there that wants to kill our God, that wants to remove our spirit! We. Must. Not. Allow. That.". At this, the rest of the Church bow their heads in Prayer again. [10+2] Leading the Prayer, Beirus, with the rest of the Church, say, "Dearly Father, we pray for assistance. We know, no matter what religion, creed, or lifestyle, you love us all. We as people love you as well. Dearly Father, we pray for assistance, for guidance in the dark time that threatens your very existence, threatens your omnipotence and holiness. We ask for this in Jesus' name. Amen.". With that, not only does God send down 3 Archangels, but He sends them right to the source. Sleepy Crater, Afghanistan...

"Does every soldier fight for the same cause? I leave you to ruminate on that.". At that, TCM signals for his guard to bring the Reporter out of the Parliament. At this, the Reporter suddenly gasps, his irises suddenly becoming Blue. "W-what are you doing? I'm doing a Column, hey!". As he gets lead out, TCM stands, before Beirus turns up and explains the situation. At this, the two of them go back to the table to speak to Pope Angelus and Imam Imara, using Soccer metaphors. Specifically, the idea that the Wiki-Warriors are on the other team. [7+3+1] This works so well, that the talks are over in a good way. Without TCM even needing to ask for a Holy War, Pope Angelus agrees to send the combat advantage, and Imam Imara the tactical advantage. Pope Angelus calls for his Battle Bishops, the Cardinals, of which Brother Aswell is a part of. They shall arrive at Parliament at [2] Late Morning (around 10:30-11:30 AM). Meanwhile, Imam Imara will supply Muslims who work for him to spy on the proceedings. When TCM attempts to say that isn't necessary, one of his R.I.S.E. Drone operators arrives to tell him that said Drone is down at the moment. At that, TCM simply nods his head, and thanks the two, before saying that they can stay until their plane arrives back. He then decides to tell them about the interference. "Actually, it's a good thing the Religious Tolerance talks have allowed you to help us. We're in need of it. See, Brother Beirus has told me that one of the Wiki-Warriors, not sure who, is doing something that is blocking God's outward presence. Just thought you should know." At this, the Pope and Imam nod, and sit back down to eat. TCM drinks more Rwandan Flower Wine, before calling over the Drone Operator, not the supernatural Operator, to ask, "Quick question, did we supply Flashbangs to the Elite Force?" [1] " The Drone Operator shakes his head, saying, "Sir, we did not give them Flashbangs. We didn't get them anything other than their pistols, their knives, and some kevlar vests. That's it." At this, the King frowns.

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

While not knowing everything, per se, BiggerFish decides to put what he knows into the interview. "Jess and Jaws are...the faces. Sure they put it together, but who do you think gave them the power to do so? The Operator of course. He can be anyone through possession, and I don't even know if he has his own body. Anything else you need to know?". To which Abigail responds with, "He can be anyone? Th-that sounds horrible! I'm not stopping until I finish what I want to do.". BiggerFish looks shocked at Abigail, who's eyes turn from Brown to Purple, then Brown again. When Abigail comes back, she doubles over, vomiting. She then frantically writes in the notebook she had, pointing to it, before vomiting again. BiggerFish hesitates to pick up the book, before stopping to figure out what just happened.

Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

While Adam is busy getting the Bandages and Ointment, NRDL decides, for fun, to see how fast he can go while playing guitar. [4+2] Tapping into the SpeedForce, NRDL suddenly lets loose an epic sounding guitar riff, super speeding it. A string breaks, but he can get it fixed later. Adam then comes back in with the Medical Supplies, and begins applying them. While doing so, he asks, "Say, is there anything you need to know? I sort of work for this...place, we specialize in information. No charge.". NRDL considers the request, looking around the room, before responding...

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

After considering the offer, PirateJoe agrees to the job, asking, "Alright, I'll do it. What does she look like, and where do you live?[/color]". After giving Joe the address and Larisa's appearance, PirateJoe thanks them and returns to his car, driving to the house. [2] When he drives by the house, he sees what looks like Larisa. She has black hair, green eyes, and is wearing a purple dress. She enters the family's car and drives off, PirateJoe following her. [9] He successfully tails her, and Larisa parks in the parking lot of an abandoned mall on the outskirts of Moscow, she walks in, not spotting the leather clad PirateJoe getting out of his car. He then attempts to sneak around into the building. [5] He manages to sneak behind the building, but he finds the door is locked. He attempts to think of some options to get inside. [1] Not only does he not find anything he can use to open the door, but the door opens anyway...to a teenager with an obvious pistol in his hand, who walks out, only to see PirateJoe. "Who are you?" He asks, PirateJoe trying to think of something.

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016


((Idle)) Ardent simply sits there, coming up with plans. While he does seem deep in thought, he's also unfocused.

Hawk attempts to complete his book, when 3 people in robes show up, all 3 having swords with crosses for hilts attached to a sheath. One of them, a bald man with a lean physique, says, "Hello, sinner. You wish to destroy the God of the people of the world? Well, that cannot happen. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Josiah, named after the man in the Bible. These two are also named after people in the Bible. Meet Job and Esther.". At this, he gestures to the man and woman next to him. "We are here to end your little operation. We were sent by God, under request by Brother Beirus, to stop this madness.", Josiah says, pulling his sword out. Hawk stares at this for a few seconds before he rises to his feet, his RPD already in his hands with the safety off. He then speaks up, saying, "Yeah, I know what's going on. God's losing his Earthly manifestation. Wanna know how I know that? It was in the pages I already wrote. Your bodies are mortal, even if your souls are not. I know for a fact that getting shot REALLY hurts. Try me.". Scoffing a bit, Josiah steps forward. [8 v 7] The Archangel suddenly gets a bullet through the arm, and hey, Hawk was right, it did hurt him. He then loads a Grenade into his China Lake, and getting savvy about it, runs out of the building, the 3 chasing after him.


The Elite Force, scattered enough already, scatters again, 9 of them going back to the injured. [5] The 2 survivors of the attack are stable, but the Drone is still damaged.

The other 9 continue looking for Hawk. [4] They check the building Hawk was in, the gunshot and the muzzle flash being a dead giveaway, but when they get there, all they see is the bullet casing. They decide to hide in the building for an ambush, making sure that wherever Hawk is, he doesn't see them. [7] They do, however, find the first few pages of No Gods, No Kings, Only Man. After taking care of the pages...by cooking them in an oven in the house, they continue waiting for the ambush.

The 3 Archangels chase after Hawk, managing to stop the Novelist at a part in the Forest. After whispering to eachother, Josiah steps forward, sword at the ready. [3 v 5] Hawk simply steps out of the way, before they stare eachother down.

Thank the man for the offer.  On to the questions:

1. I still need an exact location of where I am.  On top of that, give me a rundown of the area's political landscape, all the military bases in the area and anything else top secret that he's willing to talk about.

2. Does the area have any central telecommunications hub/building/centre?

3. What's your story, and what was the book you were talking about earlier?

"So we outfitted our best unit for perhaps the mission of the century and we neglect to give them rifles or grenades. Such is the Rwandan military."


With the religious conference between the Pope and Imam concluded, bid the leaders farewell but keep an open three-way system of communication.

Finally go visit the Middle Eastern princess now that the conference is over.

The Elite unit is continue pursuing in the destruction of Hawk, surround him between our forces and the Archangels!

Go lead a service to pray for God to support the Archangels. If it'll help, use some soccer and Bobsledding metaphors like the ones I used in the religious meeting to show how the Archangels cold use our support like the athletes use the support of their fans.

Match One: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 20: Legends of Old
Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

"I could ask the same thing to you, buddy. Now then, what's going on here?" says PirateJoe, attempting to prevent the gun toting teenager from causing him harm. The young man speaks up, saying, "What? Dude, you're trespassing, and we don't like trespassers." Before PirateJoe can speak up, the teen aims his gun up, and then he squeezes the trigger. [3 v 9] PirateJoe, quick like lightning, dodges the bullet, before charging at the boy. [9 v 1] As the teen points his gun back up, he attempts to fire, before learning that the first shot was also the last bullet. PirateJoe tackles him to the ground, and then says, in a voice utterly demented, "Talk." [1] Before the boy can speak, however, he laughs out, and says, "It's quite simple...223." The Boy suddenly drops to the ground, his eyes rolled back into his head in death. Spotting the boy's keys, Joe opens the door, and sneaks inside, not seeing anything at first. While inside, he becomes a bit more aware of the fact that he's currently bleeding out...

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

BiggerFish rushes over to Abigail, and calms her down enough to get her to stop vomiting, before bringing her a bucket and nabbing cold medicine from a First Aid Kit backstage. After sitting down on a chair to calm himself, he simply says, "Well then.  He showed up.". Walking back over to Abigail, with a few words of sympathy, BiggerFish picks up her notebook, and begins reading. Aside from the things she wrote during the interview, which were normal and in touch, He sees a few things that are interesting. For starters, he sees a phone number with a "Call Me" written on it. Under that, however, were when things started going haywire. In a writing style different then Abigail's, specifically in a bolder font, was to be frank, oddities. Aside from a few nonsense phrases, BiggerFish could make out some things. For example, the number 223 was repeated in a few passages, and there appeared to be a coherent instruction for BiggerFish, which must be what Abigail scribbled down. "Check out this book at the local library, it'll give the answers!" Followed by a place on a bookshelf to find it.

Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

After the bandages and ointment was applied, NRDL was ready to call it a day, but he still wanted answers. "Sure, yeah. I am curious about a lot of different things. One, exactly where am I, and what's the state of it? Any, like, military bases or anything?" said the flashy NRDL. Adam paused for a second, before saying, "Uzbekistan. You're in Uzbekistan. Everything's calm right now. No military bases, we are in the middle of plains right now." Nodding, NRDL then says, "Alright. Next, I need to know if there's, like, a Telecommunications building or something.". Adam then turns to him and says, "No. Sorry, but when I say middle of nowhere, it's probably means middle of nowhere.". Nodding again, NRDL then says, "Alright, and finally, what's your story, and what is it with this book, exactly?, gesturing to "The Triad: The True Story of the Cult of Jericho". Adam then looks to the book, before handing it to NRDL. He then responds with, "Just read it. As for the first thing, it's kinda top secret. All I can say is, there's a reason I have this book." Nodding once more, NRDL cracks open the book, it's contents being:

While there didn't seem to be a page for Exodus, there did seem to be pages missing. NRDL puts the book down, and just sits there, absorbing the knowledge he'd gained...

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/18/2016

TCM didn't do anything except stare at Drone Operator for about a solid minute before saying, "So we outfitted our best unit for perhaps the mission of the century and we neglect to give them rifles or grenades. Such is the Rwandan military.". The Drone Operator merely nods, before hurrying back to his station to check on the R.I.S.E. Drone. He bids the Religious Leaders farewell, but gives them a Skype Account to call, so that they may speak to TCM about matters as serious as this. TCM then sits down at the table, drinks some Rwandan Flower Wine, checks his watch, takes another sip, does a double take at the time, and then does a spit take at the fact that he's supposed to be meeting up with Princess Raheena Kader for their date. Racing over to the Airport in a Royal Limo, he charters a plane to the Middle East. [10] Luckily, the next plane there is not only boarding, but every seat in First Class is currently empty. Picking a chair, TCM boards the plane, and it takes off a few minutes after.

Beirus leads another service, this time to help the Archangels that are fighting Hawk, making sure to include Bobsledding and Soccer metaphors. [7+3+1] In the prayer, he mentions the power gifted to the military, and in turn, gives that power to the Archangels! [+3 Attack, +3 Defense]

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

((Idle)) Ardent continues thinking of his master plan, which involves the deaths of everyone else, except him. He is struggling with the "how", however.

"I'm tired of this,", Hawk thought to himself as he stared at the other 2 Archangels. "Sick and tired. Sure, I wanted to kill God, but I didn't expect Angels to show up. Still, the less opposition, the better.". Pointing his RPD at Job and Esther, he clearly didn't expect God's Defense to show up again. [6 v 8+3] Hawk fires 9 shots at Job and Esther, but the bullets actually catch in mid-air, before being thrown back towards Hawk. [5+3 v 4] The Forcefield smashes the bullets, but it still damages the field. [10 damage]


While Job and Esther still stay back, Josiah races back to stab a Hawk! [8+3 v 8] The Forcefield blocks the blow, but God's Defense does make the field flicker and warp slightly. [CRIT! 2d10. 1 damage+4 damage=5 damage] Hawk turns back, only to seen Josiah standing there, gesturing.

After burning the pages, The Elite Force figured they could look for Hawk later, only to see a figure in white gesture to him. Pistols at the ready, they go over to see what the man wants, only to see Hawk right there. Hawk quickly realizes what's happening, just as bullets whiz out. [9+3 v 1] Suddenly, the Forcefield actually powers down, the sheer punishment making it incapable to function. Hawk pauses for just a second before attempting to run. [4] While he is blocked in, they don't seem eager to kill him just yet...

If you're wondering where 223 came from, from an OOC perspective, it was a random number I thought of when I made the Operator, and when I worked it into his back story, I wanted it to be similar to the Slenderverse show Marble Hornets, where numbers repeating meant Slendy was near.

Uzbekistan, Central Asia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

NRDL sits there after reading the book, and while it was certainly interesting, it's of no business to him, at least until this battle ends. Sitting on the couch, he then tells Adam, ""Hm.  So I'm guessing whatever organization you're part of, is investigating this cult and the...things they worship?  Whatever.  These names seem familiar, but I couldn't really care less.  Don't suppose you know anything about the fighting going on in Badghis, Afghanistan?  The Wiki-Warriors?". Adam merely nods, saying, "Yeah, my organization is hunting down the man known as Astrid. I-...Did you say Wiki-Warriors?", he asks, before pausing for a moment. [3] He merely shakes his head, however. "No, sorry, no idea. I'm guessing you do, though?" he asks, to which NRDL responds with, "Well, crap. That's fine, if it's all you know. I have to go, though. Those Wiki-Warriors...they are dangerous.". He then waves goodbye as he leaves, before searching for another radio source. [3] He continues walking through the Plains, following a faint signal, but he cannot find where it's coming from, exactly.

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

BiggerFish sees the Library reference, and feels a smile coming on. 'Finally! I-I have something to go off of! I can find out who this Operator guy is!', he thinks, before walking to Abigail, who is now sitting down, looking quite sick. He sits next to her, opens her notebook, and points to her Cell Number. "This is your number? Hmm, You're a reporter, and you wrote this reference down, wanna come with me? It'll be the best scoop in history.", says BiggerFish, before waiting for a response. [1] Before responding, Abigail cracks a faint smile...before vomiting again, this time into a bucket that Ringo provided. Guess that's a no, then. BiggerFish gives her more medicine, and says, "Well, okay. I'll leave the boys here. When you're feeling better, you guys can come join me.", before smiling and walking out, preparing to walk to the Library, when he's stopped by a voice, clearly the Operator's, but much more...sinister. "I could have killed you, you know. Used her to stab you, but I merely left her alone with...visions. Thoughts that sent her into this weakness. You know, some of the Wiki-Warriors are dead now. They're with me. I'll leave you with that.", before the voice disappears...

Moscow, Russia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

PirateJoe is about to continue sneaking through the Factory, when he feels weakness in his bullet wou-oh right, he was shot in the chest by Cobra. He attempts to stem the blood flow in any way he can. [3] He tries to tear a piece of clothing off, but he gets distracted by a noise coming from the main stockroom. Sneaking to it, his eyes fixate on Larisa, who is in the center of the room. It doesn't appear to be anything dangerous at first glance, simply being a punk/scene rave. But before PirateJoe can leave, he needs to do 2 things. See if there's anything evil going on behind the scenes, and stem the bleeding. [2] He attempts to tear more clothing as a stem, but the wounds cause him enough pain that he needs to pause.

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016

Hawk, with the anger of 1,000 suns, is tired of life or death situations, and so decides 'GRENADES! GRENADES FOR EVERYONE!''. [1 v 9+3] Unfortunately, not only does the first grenade that was being aimed at the Elite Force jammed, but the Elite Force then proceeds to aim right at Hawk. [9+3 v 6] Bullets hit Hawk's body, causing Moderate Bleeding as Hawk collapses to his knees. Breathing hard, Hawk looks up, to find Josiah ready to charge.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Midnight. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/18/2016

While on the plane, TCM decides to upload the identities of the Wiki-Warriors as Slander. [10] The Identities of the surviving Wiki-Warriors get instantly posted, with many people happy they get to see the people damaging the world. TCM then lands in a small part of the Middle East, where Princess Kader is. After meeting up, and having a pleasant conversation, the two get into a Rwandan supplied Limousine, to which Raheena asks, "Where are we going, oh King?".


With the Elite Force standing by, Josiah pulls his sword back out, ready to finish Hawk off. [8+3 v 5, Critical Hit] Charging forward, Hawk closes his eyes and thinks quietly, 'Why is the my luck so terrible? I mean, son of a-", before he gets interrupted by a sword passing through his skull, a cross on the hilt of the blade being the last thing he sees...
Critical Hit+Realistic Damage=Hawk having been killed once again! Due to being brought back, Beirus gets nothing!

The Elite Force, with the foresight of a King on their side, go to cut up Hawk's body. After some patience, they all take pieces of Hawk's body to different place, to throw them into the woods.
--------------------
BSN (Before Sheet Notes): 1st. Wow, Hawk. I've seen just how bad your luck in these situations was during TCM's game, but the Elite Force isn't Aztec! [/jk] In all seriousness, if you have anything wrong with what happened, I'll be glad to negotiate.

2nd: I'm actually curious as to how you guys are finding the game so far. What can I do to make it better, such as having more game and regulating the story to bits and pieces, or keeping the story a focal point in what changes the game? I'm genuinely curious.

((While it doesn't change the fact that I rolled a 1, even if the grenade jammed, it would still shoot a grenade. A jam like this is because the casing is stuck in the ejector. A better explanation would be that the grenade I fired was a dud. (Note: I never fired a gun aside from an air gun. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong.) But yeah, my luck is usually really shitty when my character's life is on the line.))

Take Princess Kader to the finest show in her country, and then to the finest restaurant! Be as charming, responsive and humorous on the date as possible. If things go well, during dinner ask her for her opinion on the Wiki-Warriors.

When the King is notified of Hawk's demise, he steps into the bathroom and quickly orders for all of the survivors of the task force, as well as the damaged drone, to be transported back to Rwanda ASAP where they can rest before their next mission.

Have the intelligence agencies coordinate with both government and private individuals/groups around the globe to track down the remaining Wiki-Warriors now that their identities are public.
Offer a reward of the equivalent of $20,000 U.S. dollars to information leading to the "incapacitate" of a Wiki-Warrior.

Round 22: A Date with Destiny
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

BiggerFish pauses in his step, suddenly realizing just what the Operator meant. Speaking aloud, he said, "You could have.  But I don't think you're that kind of person.  Or conglomerate, even.", before waiting for a response. He actually does hear the voice of the Operator, who responds with, "I am that kind of person. I've been killing people, and destroying homes since 1992. For hundreds of years before then! That's what's odd. Whatever, you can live. It's a new day, and people are sleeping, ready to rise again.", before disappearing again. At that, BiggerFish makes the choice to go back inside, Abigail luckily having ceased vomiting during the conversation between BiggerFish and the Operator. He simply nods, and sits down next to Abigail, before asking for a Laptop. Abigail has one, and BiggerFish searches for the book. [10] He not only finds the book, but it is available in free PDF. Form! Waiting for any interruptions, BiggerFish hovers over the link for the PDF...

Cyprus, The Middle East
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

TCM, currently inside a Limo with a Princess, finally found the time to answer her question. Not verbally, mind you, but literally. Meaning, he pointed to a traveling European circus he knew was touring around Cyprus. Kader gasps, before saying, "I love this circus! When I was young, me and my father always came here!". While obviously excited, TCM leads her out to the Circus, hoping that things go well. [1] Unfortunately, the circus has not only gotten worse as time has progressed, but one of the Gymnasts actually dies backstage to a Heart Attack, caused by what, who knows? Already having things soured a bit, TCM decides to take her to dinner right away, apologizing. Luckily, Kader understands, and won't let it ruin their date. [7] Dinner, while not good enough to wash the taste of dead Gymnast away, is still fantastic. It's clear from onlooking alone that TCM and Princess Kader are having a blast, talking about everything that's happened recently. Deciding to break the ice on a certain subject, TCM asks, "So, uh, I recently exposed the Wiki-War in Badghis, uh, what's up with that?", before going back to his meal, a simple noodle soup, very posh. [9] Kader frowns a bit, then says, "Well, I don't hate anyone involved in the fighting, but the fights themselves are just awful, don't you think?". Before TCM can respond, he gets a phone call from Cobra, who nabbed it from one of the Elite Force guarding him and the wounded. "My King, my King! It it I, Cobra, your soldier. The Elite Force has killed Hawk, he is no longer a threat.". Thankful no one can hear that, TCM excuses himself to take the call, to which he responds with, "Really? Huh, cool. Anyway, relay this order. All survivors, injured or not, and the R.I.S.E. Drone are to be evacuated. I will send a helicopter soon.", before relaying the Helicopter to Sleepy Crater. TCM then calls several intelligence agencies for the locations of the Wiki-Warriors he exposed. [1] No Agency has seen any Wiki-Warriors, and in fact, most of their tracking technology has somehow failed, all of them crashing. Cursing under his breath, he returns to the table, where more talks with Raheena calm him down.

The Plains, Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

After the day, or rather night, NRDL's had, he's ready to just hit the hay. Or, he would be, if there wasn't a madman putting him into competitions that apparently involve supernatural beings. Regardless, he decides to investigate the Radio Signal he found, to see if there's any civilization. [5] He sees another house in the middle of no where, and deciding to check it out, he rushes over and knocks. No one answers at first, but the door seems unlocked. NRDL ponders for a moment, wondering if this place in particular is important, especially since the signal has a radio origin, so there might be something.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

After having bled profusely, PirateJoe felt very weak, not helped by the punk rock music in the background. [5] He tears off a portion of cloth to stem the bleeding. While it stops the bleeding for the most part, the way he tied it around his body means it'll slip off if he gets injured. He decides to spy on Larisa to see just what's going on. [10] He not only sees Larisa talking to a girl, but he hears everything they say. Larisa speaks first, saying, "Cool party, but what's with it? Usually, there's a reason.". The girl speaks next, saying, "Don't worry, young lady, there's a reason for the party. See, my big brother is sort of working for this guy named something Warner, and he asked us to celebrate. There's more going on, but it's family stuff, you understand, right?". Larisa merely nods, before walking back to a snack table close by. The girl walks into a back room by herself, cracking open a beer before disappearing behind the door.

Beirus, noticing that the Wiki-War isn't over yet, decides to speed things along by leading a service to get the Archangels to finish the job. [9] His service prays for the Archangels to find a Wiki-Warrior, and hunt them down. [1=PirateJoe, 2=NRDL, 3=Ardent, 4=BiggerFish. 3] The Archangels Josiah, Esther, and Job race down to find this Ardent fellow...only to find him drooling in his sleep, surrounded by armed guards, including a large, cross looking one with what looks a sledgehammer made of steel staring them down...


Speaking of, Basher holds out a hand, before charging straight at Josiah! [1 v 2+3] Josiah expertly dodges, making sure to get behind Basher.

Josiah the Archangel catches Basher off guard before charging with his sword. [10+3 v 6] Basher suddenly screams out in pain as Josiah stabs him right in the heart! Basher stands there, dazed, before Josiah sheaths his blade, at which point Basher falls over dead. The Militia, fearful for their lives, crowd around Ardent, trying to wake him up!

Well, the worldwide intelligence services appear to be inept, so turn towards asking private organizations and corporations if any of them have tracked down the Wiki-Warriors.

Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 23: Seeking the Truth
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

BiggerFish, after some prompting by Abigail, opens the PDF File and begins reading. The book in question was The Triad: The True Story of the Cult of Jericho. BiggerFish learns of the same things NRDL learned of, and also finds Exodus's missing page! [3] What Jericho's mission is, is still unknown, however.
Spoiler: Exodus's Legend (click to show/hide)
While shorter than the other two, it makes sense to BiggerFish, as it apparently is in the future. He feels a nudge from his side, Abigail asking, "So, what now?". BiggerFish pauses, to think about this...

Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

Standing in front of the house, NRDL remembered a certain plan he was using to kill Hawk, super-speeding his body through something. While it was a failure as a way to punch people, it was great for passing through things. [4] His concentration is broken, however, by the fact that the door is actually unlocked. Huh. He opens the door and walks inside. After lighting a nearby candle, he is shocked by what he sees...nothing! At least, nothing downstairs. There is an upstairs, however. NRDL then listens out for something. [9] He hears some quiet footsteps, along with what sounds like someone repeating the phrase, "They're back?! They're back...".

Moscow, Russia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

Deciding that the girl was a trap, an ambush waiting to happen, he continues observing Larisa, waiting to see what else she's talking about, and where she's going. [9] He sees that she walks into a back room, and once he goes over to see, he finds her talking to someone else, to which PirateJoe tries to listen in. [2] Unfortunately, he cannot hear a word they say, between the music, and what sounds like other people talking loudly. Realizing he's supposed to stay out of the spotlight, PirateJoe tries to see if anyone found him. [3] He sees the girl from earlier, casually sipping a drink from a glass she got from the snack table. She has black hair, and is wearing a purple dress, with spiderweb gloves and stockings, yet has a jacket over the ensemble. Why PirateJoe had to keep her appearance in mind, he didn't know. She speaks up, casually asking, "So, what's up? You spying because of me, or for someone else?", before taking another sip of drink.

Cyprus, The Middle East
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

TCM decides to take his date, Princess Raheena Kader, to the park to continue the night in a way not involving dead gymnasts. Before they leave the restaurant, TCM takes another phone call, this time calling a private company that can help him find the Wiki-Warriors. [6] They are a bit more successful, being able to find [1] one of the Wiki-Warriors. [4] They triangulate BiggerFish to his location in Essex, an on the field agent reporting him reading from a laptop next to a girl. Thanking the company, the pair continue to the park. [2] It is unfortunate, then, that the Park is actually closed. The pair look at eachother, before getting back into their limo. TCM calls up Cobra, and relays BiggerFish's location, telling them to stock up at Rwanda, and he'll give them a briefing. At this, Cobra responds in the affirmative, as they are on their way to Rwanda at that second.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Midnight. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/19/2016

Beirus, deciding that sitting cooped up in the government building in Rwanda isn't going to solve every problem, decides to lead a service to see if he can get the same bonuses that the Archangels and the Military have. [1+2] During prayer, he notices everyone's fatigue, and decides to send the Catholics home, thanking them for their service. Aswell comes back, and suggests that with their weapons, and Soccer-based Martial Arts, that could be enough.

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

Ardent finally wakes up from his nap, and in his grogginess, still sees Basher get his heart cut out. Deciding to be heroic, he ties the blanket he had while sleeping tied around his neck as a cape, and he then picks up his sword, and charges at Josiah, ready for revenge. [5 v 1+3] Even with holy power, Josiah still feels the sting of a broadsword tearing into his left arm. After Ardent pulls the sword out, he notes that it's still functional, so he stares Ardent down...


...Well, he would, if he wasn't an Archangel. He charges forward, ready to kill Ardent. [4+3 v 8] To Josiah's complete amazement, Ardent still dodges out of the way!

While confused, Josiah doesn't see 13 Militia Soldiers charge at him until they are already within stabbing distance. [2 v 1+3] Josiah dodges through the Militia's weaponry, making sure none of them can see him land near Ardent.

Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 24: Conspiracy Theory
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

Pondering the question that the young girl had asked had made BiggerFish realize just how long he'd been up. "Now, I think we sleep.  Although I personally need to actually track down a bed or something.  I don't think the helicopter has a sleeper sofa. ...Also, we're on to some sort of apocalypse conspiracy, probably involving the Wiki-Wars people.  So...Start being paranoid, I guess.  Probably a bit too late for that, huh.  Oh, wait.  I have a time-traveling helicopter.", he says, standing back up from his chair. Abigail nods, and calls up a nearby hotel she knows is around. BiggerFish listens in, and hears, "Hello? This is Abigail Walters...yeah, yeah, I know it's late. Listen do you have a bedroom for six? ...Um, me, this guy, and the Beatles...no, I haven't met him before now...yeah, I was, but I can't do that when it's so late. I'll ask him tomorrow. Do you have a room?", before she pauses. [9] Abigail brightens up, saying, "Oh, thank you! We'll be right there.". She then walks over to BiggerFish, and says, "They have a six bed-room for only 30 Pounds. I have around that much, so we should be good. Wanna go ahead?". BiggerFish nods, the lodgings out of the way, before he goes to find a "conspiracy theorist", or at the very least someone affiliated with the Cult of Jericho. [10] He not only finds someone who is willing to help, but he is both a member of the Cult of Jericho, and a non-worshiper, meaning to the average citizen, "Not a completely insane individual". The fact that he is a member does raise an alarm bell, but that's natural. BiggerFish agrees to a chat, but only when he can do somethings first. He then tries to find a disguise. [10] He not only finds new outfits for him, Abigail, and the 4 Beatles in the wardrobe department, but they are allowed to nab them by the people who booked the concert. Now, what to do...?

Moscow, Russia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe firsts looks to be afraid that someone found him, but he picks himself up, and puts a hand on his Makarov. He then asks the girl, "First things first, who are you? You obviously know something I don't, so I would like to know who you are before I tell you anything.", his tone of voice trying to be persuasive. [8] The girl chuckles a bit, before taking another sip of her punch. "Who am I? Alright, you've got me. My name's Veronica...Veronica Sawyer. It's nice to meet you, man. You're not getting things easy, though. I don't like to tell my secrets to just anyone.", she says, PirateJoe having a bit of recollection on his face, as though he's heard the name Sawyer before...

Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

NRDL, upon realizing that there is quite clearly someone upstairs, calls up to the man. [9+1] "Hey! I don't mean any harm, it's a friend, I'm just trying to survive this fight.." he says, while also walking up the stairs. The man audibly calms down, opening his bedroom door. He is blond, but that's really all NRDL finds wanting to think about. The man asks, "If you're really a friend, then why'd you come in?", his hand still on the doorknob ready to slam the door shut if he needs to. NRDL asks himself that question, before simply taking a step back to show no hostility.

Cyprus, The Middle East
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

After an agreement between the two, Princess Kader and King TCM make their way back to the Palace in Cyprus, wanting to have coffee and discuss their date. After getting their coffee and sitting down at a nicely decorated table in the Palace. TCM then asks, "So, how was that? I mean, the park being closed and most of the circus was a bust, but-", before Raheena laughs, before saying, "It's fine, really. The parts that worked really worked. So, if you want me to come to Rwanda for our second date...". TCM has a smile form on his face at that, before agreeing. At that. TCM gets ready to leave, but before he can, Raheena gives him a kiss on the cheek, before waving goodbye. As TCM goes back into his Limo, ready to go back to the Airport, he sits there, he eagerly awaits his return to his kingdom. Before he gets to the Airport, he decides to brief the Elite Force, which he has a hunch has just landed. He tells Cobra to stock up, and then head for Essex. Cobra responds in the affirmative, and then asks if they can get a new R.I.S.E. Drone. [8] TCM agrees, and has the Drone Operators work on a new one while they are there. TCM then calls up the private spy company for more info on his opponents. [2] Unfortunately, they are unable to pick up anyone else. TCM then hangs up, so he can get to Rwanda.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Midnight. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/19/2016

In TCM's kingdom of the country of Rwanda, Beirus walks to Aswell, who appears to be holding a return letter from the Vatican. "So, friend, how's the Vatican?", he asks, waiting for his response. [4] Aswell takes a bit to respond, a smile on his face, though while that means a good result needs to be seen. "Well, I will be eligible for Bishopric...after I retire from the Order, you know, the "Battle-Bishops"? Yeah, and since I don't want to do that just yet, because I think it'd serve God, and have you seen this sword? Regardless, I cannot be Bishop at the moment. But don't worry, my comrades from the Order will be here around 10:30 anyway, so we're not at a loss.", says Aswell, a smile still on his face. Beirus merely nods, wondering what his next move is.

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

((Auto'd)) Ardent backs up a bit, before trying to sneak behind Josiah, and then backstab him. [2] A twig snaps under his feet, and Josiah turns his attention to Ardent.


Josiah tries to make his way to Ardent, but the Militia stop him in his tracks with their harassment. [6 v 10+3] Josiah not only expertly dodges their onslaught, but his dodges put him right next to Ardent!

Josiah tries to stab into Ardent, his sword at the ready! [5+3 v3] Ardent gets stabbed in the stomach, blood spilling on the ground as it leaves the body. While it is Moderate Bleeding, and thus will a while before it's truly dangerous, this is still a crushing blow.

PirateJoe straightens his posture, the fact that Veronica had not alerted any guards calming him. In response to her name, he responds, in a tone clearly questioning her, "Veronica Sawyer, nice name, but first, would you happen to know of someone by the name of Logan Sawyer? Maybe even be related to them? Ah where are my manners I am yet to introduce myself, I am Joe Simon, glad to make your acquaintance.", even holding out the hand not currently hovering over his Russian Pistol to her. Veronica chuckles a little bit, before responding in a matter of fact voice, "Well, of course I'm related to him. You must have heard me mention my brother to that Larisa girl, right? Yeah, Logan's my big brother. He kinda told me to throw this party, for some reason. Anything else?", before taking another sip of her red drink, which PirateJoe is realizing is probably Red Wine...

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

After securing disguises from the costume department, the team of Abigail Walters, BiggerFish, John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Paul McCartney try to sneak to the Hotel Samson near the Theater Center. [5] While they aren't noticed actually going into the Hotel, it requires proper ID to prevent room stealing, and their costumes cover them so well that it's difficult to tell who it is actually purchasing the room, so they are forced to shed their outfits. Still, the room gets booked, and after Ringo purchases Room Service, which includes Food and Drink for all 6, they all turn in for the night, each member getting a comfy bed to sleep in, with themed blue comforters.

Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

After the night he's had, this seems to be an improvement to NRDL. Stepping forward a step or two, NRDL talks to him, speaking out in a comforting voice, "Right now, I'm lost and just a need a place to get my bearings.  My name's NRDL.  What's yours?". The man, calmed by NRDL's voice, says, "Samson. Samson Brooks. I-I work with...I saw things man!", before collapsing over the doorway with tears in his eyes. Samson gestures into his room, before walking back into his room.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Midnight. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/19/2016

So far, TCM has had an amazing night, and stopping Jess Warner is a bonus to an already amazing night. After (very quickly) landing back in Rwanda, he races straight to Parliament, to give them their new R.I.S.E. Drone, and to brief them. [2] The new R.I.S.E. Drone has no improvements, so it is not a 2.0 in any way. TCM then walks them into a briefing room, and briefs them with a simple mission. Check the Theater Center, BiggerFish's last know location, and investigate where he is to eliminate him. After the affirmative, TCM goes to see if he can improve their Intel Network to find other Wiki-Warriors. [6] The improvements are a success, with their own network to help them search for Wiki-Warriors.

((Idle)) Beirus sits quietly at the table, making pleasant conversation with Aswell.

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

(Auto'd)) Seeing that the Holy Archangel is stronger then he thought, Ardent orders the Militia to keep them busy as he tries to flee! [7] He retreats through to a nearby house, before leading the Militia back through to the house.


In order to keep Josiah busy, the Militia try to kill Josiah. [3 v 4+3] Josiah dodges through the crowd gracefully, managing to get behind the majority.

Josiah tries to kill the Militia attacking him. [5+3 v 1] Josiah stabs, and slashes, 8 townspeople to death, with the remaining Militia running to Ardent's house to hide.

There are bottles of Alcohol broken everywhere, and a dresser that's upside down. After they both sit on the bed, NRDL says, "So, are you calm enough to tell me what's up?", to which Samson visibly calms down. Sam then responds, "Yeah, I suppose I am. Okay, w-well, it's top-secret, but I can tell you where to find someone who can tell you everything. He's in a little village, yeah? What I can tell you is the bare minimum. We're hunting Astrid, you know him?", to which NRDL nods, and gestures to continue. "G-Good, well, here's the co-ordinates. U-Uh, my superior will tell you anything. Do you need anything else?", he asks, making sure to pause to allow NRDL to think.

TCM, after briefing the Elite Force to go the UK, sends them off on the Helicopter, which has been nicknamed "Black Hawk" due to it's pitch-black color and red lights around the entire perimeter. As Black Hawk leaves for the UK with the 39 Elite Force and Cobra, which is now 40 men, same as the start of the Elite Force, TCM decides to check for more Wiki-Warriors. [4] Even with an advanced tracking signal, he can only check the general vicinity to find [3] Ardent, who he already knows is in Sleepy Crater, so that info's not as helpful as he'd like. He then decides to create a new Elite Force, one that will have to have a new name. He takes around 10 soldiers, and decides to train them. [1] Unfortunately, the 10 soldiers he picked not only couldn't complete their training, they actually get injured during it, with one guy actually breaking both legs during a Rappel exercise. While still possible to train more, it does put a bit of a damper in TCM's mood, right up until he gets messages on Skype from both Raheena and Imam Imara.

Beirus and Aswell, deciding to take their mind off of the Neutral news from the Vatican, go to the Rwandan Sports team for a friendly game of Soccer. [10+3 v 3] Even though the Sports Team are masters of the craft, they can't match up to a Wiki-Warrior. Beirus gets the first point, and the Sports Team decides to tap into their training for this next goal. [2+3 Beirus v 8+3 Sports Team] Student beats Master, as the next goal goes to Rwanda's Sports Team. The Game continues...

Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Midnight. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/19/2016

((Auto'd)) Ardent tries to find a way to hide from the dangerous Archangels. [3] Due to fear, Ardent is stuck in place, the loyal Militia dashing out to stop Josiah, Job, and Esther from killing their leader.


Josiah steps up, swinging his sword into the 5 warriors that serve Ardent Debater. [5+3 v 6] 3 of the Militia get stabbed and slashed through, Blood spattering the dirt on the ground as the remaining 2 stand back a bit.

Job goes next, charging forth to slay the remaining two. [3+3 v 2] One of the two gets a sword through his chest, dying near instantly as he hits the ground with a thud that kicks up dust.

Esther calmly walks towards the last man, the Militiaman left begging to live. [9] Esther stops, his tearful sobs stopping the Archangels. All 3 of them say, "Listen, if you mean it, go to Ardent, and tell him to surrender. If he complies, he'll be sent to Rwanda to await judgement, while President Imani Arendse will decide your fate. Is that okay?", the last Militiaman nods before running back to Ardent, and telling him what happened.

>TBF: Freak Out Over Pumpkin. What pumpkin? There is no Pumpkin in this dream field, you crazy person. >TBF: Wake Up in Fear Anyway. Trusting your gut usually works out for you, except for that time Jess Warner shot you 2 inches away from your spleen. Still, you awaken....Waking up due to pure instinct, BiggerFish eats a bit of leftover food from Room Service, before waking his party up. He then relays his plan, due to the obvious sign in his dream of a Pumpkin, of which it's existence is still being determined. He tells the Beatles to stay in Essex for their tour, while he and Abigail run from danger. Everyone agrees, and BiggerFish and Abigail leave out the front door, hoping no one sees them as suspicious. [2] Unfortunately, both of them spot a Quadcoptor, with a camera outfitted on it's underside, spots them, before racing back toward the Theater they were in earlier. They also spot a black helicopter with red lights surrounding it on top of the Theater. Seeing the fact that his Helicopter is still near the Theater, BiggerFish decides to come up with a plan.

"That's all I need to know. Feel free to ask me anything you want.", says PirateJoe, now walking with Veronica to a table, with a red tablecloth and bottles of alcohol on top, along with a Punch Bowl. Veronica pours herself another glass of Red Wine, before turning back to the Leatherbound Wiki-Warrior, saying, "Hmm? Ask you a question? After my brother called me, I had the answers. Not only that, but besides the answers, I have a loaded gun in my back pocket and a bunch of teenagers who might think you're crashing the party. I do have something to ask of you. Anything that is out there can stay, but you must keep everything else, including who I'm related to, a secret. Got that?", all the while illustrating her point by pointing out the gun, and several of the teens who are eyeballing PirateJoe with a disapproving glare. Veronica merely smiles, before sipping her drink, and finishing off with, "Doesn't look like they like you all that much.".

"Nope, thanks.  Finally, something to actually DO.", says NRDL in response to Samson's question, before he walks out of the room, and dashes out of the small house to the co-ordinates. [6] He makes it to the co-ordinates, and finds they are in an abandoned town, with a dilapidated sign that reads out an unintelligible string of words, that at one point was the name of the town. The town itself isn't small by any means, though it is still smaller than many cities. A lot of the buildings are burned, and there is ash littering the ground. NRDL walks around the grounds, searching through houses, before spotting a man in a trenchcoat and fedora, holding a cellphone up to his ear. [9] NRDL is capable of hearing the part of the conversation being held by the man in front, though who he's calling is a mystery. "So, do you say his name one letter at a time, or as "NERD-El"? ...One at a time, you sure? Whatever.", he says, before turning around and seeing NRDL. He then holds up his phone, asking whoever's on the line to call him back, before speaking to the Speed Demon NRDL. "Hello, Nerdle. Or, is it N R D L? I don't know, point is I've been waiting for you. My name is...well, as far as you're concerned, my name's Agent Grim. I work with Agent Samson and Agent Adam, and according to them, you've been conversing. I have a question. What, exactly, do you know of the Cult of Jericho?, he says, standing there, waiting for NRDL's response.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Late Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date:7/19/2016

TCM, upon seeing that he has messages on Skype from Raheena and Imara, decides to see what's going on. Raheena's is simple, merely asking him to another date, this time with her coming to him, next week. Imam Imara's, however, is a bit different. He did say he was going to send supplies to TCM's military, after all. [1] The message isn't important, just that with some "business" going on where Imara is, he won't be able to actually send anything at the moment. He does, however, say that he may be able to scrounge up something soon.

Beirus and Aswell continue the game against the Rwandan Sports Team. [10+3 v 1+3] 2-1 goes the scoreboard as Beirus nabs a goal for his 2 man team. The Sports Team tries to take things back, however. [8+3 v 8+3] Despite strong showings, Beirus manages to block several balls from hitting the goal, preventing the score from going any further.

Time: Late Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date:7/19/2016

((Auto'd)) With survival as the priority for the Revolutionary, Ardent is reluctant to go with them, but he has little choice. Along with the last Militiaman, they surrender, hands over their heads, as the Archangels use their divine power to take them to Rwanda.


The Elite Force, now lead by Cobra due to his decorated service, land on the roof of the Theater Andromeda, which is where BiggerFish was tracked down. They message their King, asking if BiggerFish is the only one they need to neutralize, or if his associates need to die as well. Not getting an immediate response, they rappel down, but before they can do anything, the R.I.S.E. Drone spots someone matching BiggerFish's description, along with a young woman. They decide to chase after BiggerFish, the maximum range on their pistols being...not the best. [2] However, BiggerFish grabs the woman's hand and runs upon seeing the 40-man strong assassination team chase after them. The chase is on.
-----------------
BSN (Before Sheet Note): Hey, guys. Sorry for the delay in the turn, I procrastinate a fair bit, though I am working on it. I have a question to ask you, the players. Ardent hasn't been on for quite a while, and that got me thinking. What should I do for idle players? Do I keep autoing them until they die, or should I step in and have something for idle players, like a turn limit or else they are counted as being unable to play? 1st of all, I can't seem to phrase things, hope you get the idea, but 2nd of all, I find having an Idle Limit would be unfair to people who are unable to post, such as being without internet. So...yeah.

The King agrees to the future date and also asks the Princess if she has her own armed forces. Additionally, he wishes the Imam well in whatever he's doing.

The Elite Task Force's primary job is to take out TBF, and if anyone gets in the way they are to be stunned, or at worst paralyzed. If anyone besides TBF violently retaliates with intent to kill, the Task Force may respond with however much force is necessary to defend themselves.

Transform into Khepri, the Egyptian God modern reincarnation of Herbie.  Aka a VW Beetle.

Get us to the chopper.

After reaching the helicopter: Go back in time about six hours.  Alert the military to an impending unsanctioned military operation by Rwandan forces on British sovereign soil that will imperil the life of a citizen.  Give them the details of the op as we know them.

Call the police on the assassin squads as well, about fifteen to thirty minutes before they're going to try and shoot us.

Then, come back six hours after we left, somewhere semi-random, and call the Rwandan King from a payphone.


"TCM.  Not cool.  At all.  I thought we were allies and you attempt to have me shot?  I am not amused."

==In chronological order==
T-6 hours
Alert British military to impending Rwandan op.
T-30 up to T-15 minutes
Alert the police of a threat.
T-0, The Present:
Be Khepri, flee with Abigail.
T+6
Come back IN THE FUTURE somewhere random and call King TCM.

@TBF: Beetle themed superhero is no, because they would be a human with Beetle powers...so you essentially. I suppose an Egyptian God Beetle would be okay, since Egyptian Gods are typically part animal, and you do transform into Beetles, but with that wording, your face would turn into that of an insectoids, and you'd still get shot, unless there is a God that can transform into a Beetle, but then I wouldn't allow it since you already have that power. Makes sense?

If this game is similar to my game NPCs remain neutral to all Wiki-Warriors until they are directly threatened. Either way, they haven't attacked us yet when they could have easily do so long ago, and if there is a problem I'll speak with the PM and clear it up.

The NPCs in both of our games kind of work like real people, I suppose. And while a government would want an investigation, they've already landed, so they might have clearance...oh, but TBF has a good idea.

And you STILL have no clearance for the op.

Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on May 28, 2016, 01:56:30 pm
@TBF: 1st. Didn't think about Abigail when factoring that in. If you make it to the past, I'll have to roll to see if they can land.

2nd: From the Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khepri (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khepri) it says he's a Solar Deity, so I would guess powers relating to fire or the sun. The sun's more accurate, but since it's night time, I'm not sure how that would work, unless you were using the sun's light reflected off of the moon. So, possibly the ability to use Fire Magic? Then again, he's also represented as God of Rebirth, so maybe the ability to regenerate health as well. So, Fire Magic and Regenerating Health so long as you're a Beetle...maybe, I don't know. Still, does that sound good?

And yeah, fire magic and regen sounds good.

Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: TheBiggerFish on May 28, 2016, 03:10:59 pm
I would think that the chopper would need to be on, but it's not a flight system, is it?

Yes, I noticed the whole maaagic thing when somebody was a wizard and somebody else was possessing people and I'm pretty sure all three are involved in an apocalypse.
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on May 28, 2016, 03:26:03 pm
I suppose it wouldn't need to be a flight system, though it would be safer to fly in case you went too far back or forward and had it get stuck in a building or something.

Well now, that is a tricky thing, time travel. Alright, let's just say it can go as far back as the Mesozoic Era, and toward the end of the universe, why not the beginning of the universe, beats me. Now, as for margin of error...hmm, I'll just pull something out of thin air and say around anywhere within the time frame you set, so if you put 6 hours, and the roll doesn't quite reach that, you might end up 4 hours beforehand. Alternatively, the margin of error outside of that timeframe would be tricky, as too little means it's an easy fix, and too long would possibly mean time paradoxes everywhere. I'll sit on that bit.

BiggerFish, upon seeing the Elite Force, decides on quite the complicated plan, but one that might work. He takes cover behind a box, and transforms into the Beetle form of the Egyptian God Khepri. He then attempts to rush towards the Chopper, in an attempt to go to the past and alert the Government. [6] While the 40 man strong team sees the Beetle with a flame pattern, they just assume it's a new species. They do, on their orders, go after Abigail, who runs from Beetle!BiggerFish in an attempt to survive. [6+3 v 10] Despite several members shooting to wound, and even the R.I.S.E. Drone trying to use it's weight to drop on top of her, Abigail manages to escape capture. BiggerFish, seeing that Abigail is alright, charges to his Chopper, quickly morphing back and taking the reigns. He then attempts to avoid capture. [2] All seems to go well, BiggerFish flying up to the sky and opening the Time Flux...until Blackhawk suddenly spins it's rotors and flies up, the visage of the Helicopter causing some citizens, and Abigail, to freeze in place. The pilot says, over the loudspeaker, "You are under arrest on orders of King TCM. Submit for custody or die where you stand.", before the Helicopter goes towards BiggerFish. [7 v 2] Blackhawk slams into the Charon Channel Chopper, causing it's rotors to cease for a second. [2] The Chopper crashes on the roof, and while BiggerFish is okay, a cut or two from broken glass and a sprained right wrist notwithstanding, the Chopper's in a bad way. BiggerFish stays inside, trying to come up with a plan.

Jess Warner, the guy who started this...he's one of them, a non-worshiper. Worse yet, I think he's working directly with the Triad to finish their goals. I can tell you where a Wiki-Warrior is, but only if you promise to help us with something. When you win, you have to find out what those goals are. I'm sure Jess will tell you, it won't be your wish or whatever the prize is, but that's just how things are. What do you say Nerdle? Wait, N R D L? Still stuck on that.". NRDL ponders this, formulating a response.

TCM responds to Raheena's Skype in the affirmative, Monday next week being the date for their-er, date, I suppose. In addition, he also asks if Raheena has any armed forces at the moment. [2] "Other than one or two bodyguards here at home, no. Sorry, TCM.", to which TCM responds with, "Oh, well I still needed to check. See you there Raheena.". He then responds to Imara, wishing him good luck in his business.

Beirus continues the game, Aswell being unable to play due to the fact that it seems everyone except him got soccer based superpowers. [1+3 v 7] Despite said Powers, Beirus' goal is blocked by the Sports Team goalie, a woman named Andrea Balcan. The team continues forward with the ball. [4+3 v 6+3] 2-1, the scoreboard stays, as the Soccer Ball gets blocked by Beirus' skills.

((Auto'd)) A flash of light engulfs a room in Parliament, Archangels Josiah, Job, and Esther carrying Ardent Debater and The Last Militiaman. Carrying Ardent to the room, he had a lot of thoughts, imagining his judgement, and let's face it, death. No time for thoughts, however, as he was lead into a banquet hall, the great King TCM sat in a chair with a Laptop on the table. Being brought to attention, TCM must now decide the fates of these two men.


The Pilot of Blackhawk scopes out the wreckage of the CCC, before running over and picking up the Elite Force and Cobra. Cobra then messages TCM with an update. "Yeah, BiggerFish's helicopter crashed. We don't know if he's dead, should we land and check it out, or proceed anyway? I know you might want us to check, but we may not find anything anyway.", he says over his phone, waiting for a response from the King.

In Osaka, Japan, Jess and Jaws were in an office room. It was ordained with red curtains, and beautiful architecture that had a Victorian era feel. "So, this "Grim" fella knows something. I suppose we should go pay him a visit? No, wait. I had a fantastic idea. We could send a Droid, one of our Military Robots. Or, you know, The Operator and Jericho, seeing as how he's getting a bit nosy.", the two of them consider their options, before making plans so secret that I didn't type them after all this went down! Suspense!

All seems to go well, BiggerFish flying up to the sky and opening the Time Flux...until Blackhawk suddenly spins it's rotors and flies up, the visage of the Helicopter causing some citizens, and Abigail, to freeze in place. The pilot says, over the loudspeaker, "You are under arrest on orders of King TCM. Submit for custody or die where you stand.", before the Helicopter goes towards BiggerFish. [7 v 2] Blackhawk slams into the Charon Channel Chopper, causing it's rotors to cease for a second. [2] The Chopper crashes on the roof, and while BiggerFish is okay, a cut or two from broken glass and a sprained right wrist notwithstanding, the Chopper's in a bad way. BiggerFish stays inside, trying to come up with a plan.
It was at that moment TMC knew, he fucked up... At this point the British government would respond in a less then friendly manner due to the possible casualty's caused by this, especially after a foreign helicopter opened fire on anything on British soil..

Open up a line to the Prime Minister's office, explaining the situation to him about the Wiki-Warriors.

The Final Militiaman is not a true wiki warrior. Strip him of his weapons and let him go.
Let Argent Debate die with some dignity. Throw him in a lock cell with four of our best fighters. Argent is allowed to have a pipe. The fight continues until Argent is dead. If he manages to somehow beat all of them or tries to escape, shoor him.
Actually, let Beirus have the honors.

BiggerFish, his wrist in pain and glass in his legs, has several thoughts rushing through his head, but most of them say that he needs to continue his plan to stop this group via his time travel. [2] It's bad, then, that the crash smashed the Time Flux, the computer controlling the time travel. Still in the present, BiggerFish needs to find a new way to survive the assault coming towards him.

Time: Late Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date:7/19/2016

TCM looks at Ardent and The Last Militiaman for around 5 seconds before relaying his orders. The Militiaman is to be stripped of his weapons, and released. As for Ardent Debater, he is brought to a very large, almost arena-like cell, with 4 prisoners. The guards talk about how all 4 of them were locked up for murder, assault, and grievous bodily harm. Ardent is thrown into the arena-like cell, with the 4 prisoners eyeing him, sizing up the fresh meat. The 4 prisoners have Greek letters on necklaces for Identification purposes. One of the guards says, "We used to have 6, but Omega and Lambda escaped. Meet Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma. Here you are.", before handing Ardent a steel pipe, pristine as if brand new. Alpha cracks her knuckles, with Beta standing back slightly. Delta and Omega both grab improvised weapons. Delta grabs his shiv, made of glass and wrapped with tape, while Gamma grabs a stick with some nails from a prison workshop drilled through it.

((Auto'd)) Ardent stands back, trying to figure out who the weaker on is, before settling on the weaponless Alpha. [2 v 5] Alpha parries the blow with her arm, dashing back a bit.

Beirus continues playing soccer with the team, with this shot being the last of the game. [7+3 v 8+3] 2-1 remains the score as the ball gets blocked and kicked to one of the Players. [1+3 v 6+3] The game ends at 2-1 as the last goal is blocked by the Sports Team. Afterwards, a guard walks by and asks them to come with him. They are lead to an Arena-Like Cell, in which they see a prisoner with an Alpha necklace dodging an attack by Ardent Debater.

PirateJoe nods his head, acknowledging her point...her point about shooting him, that is. "Alright, thanks for your time, have a good day.", before going off to try to find Larisa again. [2] Unfortunately, it appears she is leaving, or has already left. As PirateJoe leaves the building, he tries to look for her again. [3] He does see her get into her car, but he knows running to either her car or his own will take too long. PirateJoe sits in the cold snow, thinking of something to do now.

NRDL just looks at Grim for a few seconds before responding, "Call me whatever you want.  What do I have to do?". Grim, were his mouth visible, would be seen grinning as he says, "As I said, Nerdle, you need to win the competition. Then you need to ask Jess Warner what Jericho's plan is before you wish for something. Got it?", to which NRDL nods. Grim then nods, and walks off...[6 v 9] A gunshot then rings out, both men dodging on instinct. They look up to see a shadowy figure on a ridge with a sniper rifle in it's hands.



The Shadowy Figure cycles the bolt on it's Sniper Rifle, and aims down the scope to try to assassinate Grim. [2 v 6] Another bullet misses Grim, the Aimless Renegade-I mean Shadowy Figure cycling the bolt again.

Alpha goes first, charging at Ardent with her fists out. [9 v 4] A punch audibly snaps the man's ribs, the guards and the spectating Aswell all cringe at that. Beta stands back, pulling out a book. Delta runs forward with his shiv to stab Ardent, a sick grin on his face. [10 v 7] The Shiv goes through Ardent's arm, causing him to drop his pipe out of reflex. Gamma then calmly walks forward, her improvised Nail Bat in her hands. [1 v 10] Ardent then grabs her Nail Bat out of her hands, the pain subsiding out of pure adrenaline! He then rushes forward with the bat! [7 v 5] Gamma gets her bat stuck into her left hand, a sharp gasp escaping her mouth.

At King TCM's orders, the Elite Force lands, and tries to find BiggerFish in the wreckage. [7] They find BiggerFish sitting in the cockpit, and decide that now's the time for neutralization. [1+3 v 7] To a surprise to everyone, BiggerFish dodges the bullets and jumps out of the passenger seat onto his feet, booking it out of there. The Elite Force chase after them, the R.I.S.E. Drone, and therefore President Arendse, getting a call from the British Government about Blackhawk. [2] They are ordered to go away, the Government not caring about the Wiki-War. At this, the Drone investigates the damage done to the Helicopter. [10] It is in pristine condition despite the Charon Channel Chopper crashing into it. It also has full fuel.

Suddenly, the 4 prisoners step back, leaving Ardent confused, until TCM appears. He waves his hand slightly, and the former spectator Beirus jumps into the Cell, his soccer ball and Barrett 50. Cal in his possession. He kicks the ball up with a smirk, ready to play. He then kicks the ball to Ardent's face, hoping to pummel it into the ground! [2+3 v 7] Ardent dodges the ball kicked by the fellow Wiki-Warrior, the Improvised Nail Bat still in his hand as he gears up to fight back.

TCM waves Beirus through, gesturing to keep the prisoners away from the battle. He still pulls the Assault Rifle out, and aims it into the cell, ready to fire should Ardent win.

Beirus charges forward, dirt kicking up under his feet as he runs towards Ardent. Once he gets close enough, he throws a kick out to connect with Ardent's skull. [9+2 v 6] A snapping sound can be heard as the King and the guards begin cringing in sheer pain. Ardent falls over, unconsciousness with blood coming out of his nose. Beirus feels around for a pulse, and after finding a weak pulse, Beirus decides to finish the job. [10+3 v 8-3(Unconscious, Injuries)] Beirus kicks a soccer ball into Ardent's skull, and another violent snap can be heard as Ardent's neck snaps. Beirus steps back, a dead man lying in the cell in front of him.
Beirus gets a goal! Beirus gets:

NRDL, after dodging some gunfire from the Shadowy Figure, has a fight or flight response, and decides that both shall work in his favor. He prepares to Flashrun towards said figure, and punch him into giving information. [7] He runs towards the cliff face, the dust twirling around where he stood. He jumps up onto the ridge, and tries to stop the figure. [6 v 1] He punches the figure in the face, causing it to fall over. They are wearing a grey hood, and a full black suit used as camouflage for night time expeditions. NRDL attempts to "unmask" the Figure. [8] He unwraps the hood to discover a skull...a metal skull. The head of the figure is robotic, appearing like, well, a skull with one eye being covered and the other being green with black sclera. The head has green paneling and it's teeth are also green. NRDL says, "What the-", before being interrupted by the robotic figure jumping up to it's feet.

BiggerFish runs from the flaming wreckage, but runs out of roof before he can escape. He then decides to turn Khepri to stop both the Elite Force, and their Escape Chopper. [9 v 4+3] He casts some Fire Magic, managing to burn one of the Elite Force slightly, but also creating a fire barricade. Khepri!TBF still decides to burn Blackhawk down. [8 v 9] Blackhawk manages to dodge the fireball, before going towards the Elite Force to evacuate.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Late Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date:7/19/2016

PirateJoe, having already memorized the car on the drive to Veronica's Warehouse, jumps into his car and tries to follow Larisa. [2] Due to the sheer speed she peeled off at, PirateJoe decides to go to the house to see if she's home. [6] He sees her car park in the driveway, and also sees Larisa exit her car, but he cannot see what she's doing as she moves out of sight.


The Robotic Figure does a Kip Up to it's feet, before pulling it's sniper rifle out and aiming to NRDL. [10 v 10] He fires his rifle at NRDL, but NRDL goes fast enough to catch the bullet in mid air.

The Elite Force tries to fire into the fire to hit the Beetle TBF. [1 v 3] Due to the fire, and the small stature of the shapeshifter, the Elite Force en mass miss their fire. Blackhawk then lands to pick them up, the Military piling in. Cobra contacts TCM with an update, and they begin to take off.

Time: Late Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date:7/19/2016

After ordering a few guards to dispose of Ardent's corpse, TCM calls up his mysterious intel provider to find the next target, trying to come up with a plan during the call. TCM offers money to help with the Provider to find someone, to which he agrees on a price of $200. [4+2] The Provider does happen to find one person, or at least a general enough area to locate them. [1] They locate PirateJoe in Moscow, Russia, though where he is in Moscow is unknown as the snow is interfering with the equipment. TCM agrees, saying he'll get around to it.

Beirus walks out of the cell, wiping some blood off of his soccer ball, before deciding to lay a trap with his new Alchemic power, just in case someone tries to invade Rwanda to attack TCM, Beirus, and Aswell. He runs around, trying to lay Transmutation Circles in a very clever little ambush idea. [10+2] He not only lays Transmutation Circles, but instead of using the terrain there already is in Rwanda, he uses Metals to create an elaborate ambush, and also makes the traps very refined, increasing their damage to potential invaders.

PirateJoe hurries out of the car, and tries to sneak through to see where Larisa is going. [10] He not only manages to go unseen to a window in the house, but also manages to hear what Larisa is doing. She pulls out a cellphone, and despite speaking in Russian, PirateJoe is able to translate. Larisa is telling whoever she's calling about the party, and that it's really not a phase, as she's just "feeling it". PirateJoe can tell she's just a girl who got into scene or punk and then also got roped into Jess and the Sawyers' plans. Satisfied, PirateJoe sneaks back to his car.

NRDL calmly drops the bullet he dropped before calmly pulling his guitar out. He then breaks the calm by charging towards The Robotic Figure, trying to break it's legs. [6 v 4] The guitar merely grazes the leg, but a servo is still slightly knocked out of place, which will only be a problem if it tries to run.

TBF stays in Beetle Form, Fire Magic coursing through his veins as he prepares to throw another fireball at Blackhawk, which still has the Elite Force and Cobra inside. [10 v 8] He manages to hit Blackhawk with a fireball, but misses his target of the fueltank, only rocking the chopper. He stays in Beetle Form to make himself a lesser target.


The Robotic Figure tries to battle NRDL in order to get back to it's orders. [9 v 5] A bullet passes right through NRDL's arm, blood dripping onto the ground as he stands his ground.

A side door of Blackhawk re-opens, and the Elite Force tries to fire on BiggerFish, who is still a Beetle. [7+3-1(Rocked Chopper)-1(Beetle Sized) v 1] A bullet smacks through BiggerFish, and if it wasn't for the exoskeleton, some luck, and a healing factor, he'd be dead.

((That works for me. Whatever works to disintegrate people.

TCM gets off the phone with the Intel Unit, pleased with his actions, before going to work. He notices where Joe is, and so attempts to find a way to contact the Russian Mafia. [9] He manages to contact a grunt, and after several attempts to convince the grunt that he's not ratting them out to the authorities, TCM gets into an E-Mail based conversation with the head of the Petrenko Family. TCM attempts to convince the Head to assassinate PirateJoe, as he is found to be dangerous. [10] The Head is not only convinced that PirateJoe is an enemy to the Petrenko Family and Russia at large, but he also decides to go with his Enforcers to kill PirateJoe, though TCM notices some euphemisms such as "Take Care Of", "Convince to Sleep with the Fishes", and "Cupcake" bizarrely enough.

Beirus's traps work like this: when a Wiki-Warrior walks onto one of the Transmutation Circles, the air is remotely transmuted into Ionized Gas, which will melt the Wiki-Warrior. Luckily, due to the Alchemy presented to Beirus, it is created to also transmute the heat, and has several techniques in place so that only the air inside the circles is transmuted, to keep the Earth from burning. Beirus runs that through his head a few times, before doing his next Alchemic Masterpiece: creating an Alchemic Replica of Hawk's Exoskeleton Armor. [9+2] He creates it so well, he not only gets the boost to strength, but he also gets the Forcefield due to being able to Transmute the air into a Forcefield-like substance, which has 50 HP like Hawk's. Now, for the Nanodroids that kept Hawk alive. [3+2] It can be done, but Beirus finds they can only heal injuries. In order to create Fake Death Nanodroids, they would need a way to be able to restart organs and cell activity. Even with Beirus's alchemy, that's tricky. In order to make it easier, he would need the Ultimate Sacrifice...the Philosopher's Stone.

"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Essena, I have good news. I found out what happened. It seems Larisa is just going through a phase, Punk or Scene I'll wager. Nothing's wrong with her, she's not in danger.", he says, before thinking to himself, "She is in danger, though. If the sister of one of the monsters who started this is in on this, then Larisa's in the crossfire! I should tell them, but who knows how word will spread.". PirateJoe then notices a truck pull up by them, two large men in black pinstriped suits wielding AK-74us exiting out the car, followed by an average sized man with a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_Judge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_Judge) in his hand. He steps out of the car, and introduces himself as Andrei Petrenko, before asking if they know where someone by the Alias, "PirateJoe", is in the vicinity. Before Joe can respond, Mr. and Mrs. Essena suddenly step in front of Joe, angrily speaking in Russian. Joe attempts to translate. [10] He manages to figure out everything. That TCM told them that Joe is evil, that the Essenas aren't buying it, and that things are getting tense. Mr. Essena walks up, and starts getting a bit more physical with Andrei. [4+2 (Point Blank Bonus) v 6] A gunshot rings out that appears to miss everyone. Joe tries to come up with a plan quickly!

The Town, Central Asia
Time: Late Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date:7/19/2016

NRDL continues to try to cripple the Robotic Assassin before Grim dies. He charges forward with his guitar, making sure to go to superspeed to make it connect. [4+2 v 10] The Robotic Assassin not only dodges the guitar strike from the Wiki-Warrior, but it also raises it's Sniper Rifle up and fires back at NRDL! [7 v 6] A bullet grazes NRDL's skin on his arm. It isn't bleeding, but it does sting a bit, getting NRDL more riled up and angry then before.

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Late Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date:7/19/2016

BiggerFish's Khepri form regenerates quickly, which is good because Blackhawk is still in the air. In a last ditch effort, BiggerKhepri calls upon all his fire magic into a fireball that burns the heat of the sun! [1 v 1] The Fire Magic botches and fizzles out, the amount of Magic stressing BiggerFish out of his beetle form. Now human again, and being too burnt out to transform, he notices that Blackhawk still dodged, probably due to the previous attacks, and a bit farther away.


The Essenas step back, getting the message passed along by Andrei, before the Enforcers turn their guns towards PirateJoe! [1 v 3] The First One has his gun jam, leaving him unable to deal out punishment. [8 v 6] The Second One is a bit more successful, the bullet hitting PirateJoe's left leg, missing some blood vessels on the way out. [5] PirateJoe's bandages stay on, though that shot does bring Joe another bleeding wound.

Despite being rocked a bit, a member of the Elite Force aims at BiggerFish with the silenced M1911. [8+3 v 7] A bullet passes through BiggerFish's chest, his more fatigued state causing him to collapse on the ground. He notes that it missed his heart, but there is still a moderate amount of blood. Before he can rise to his feet, a door on the roof opens and Abigail rushes out, gasping as she sees the damaged BiggerFish. She runs over to him, asking if he's alright.

Before BiggerFish can respond, he sees one of the people in Blackhawk suddenly jump out and land on the roof. Cobra then screams out, "You wanna stop my King and President, Wiki-Warrior?! Then I shall strip you of your attachments! All your friends and allies!", before aiming his SPAS-12 at Abigail, making sure to account for the difference of maximum range from the other firearms. [9+3 v 2] Abigail suddenly screams out, pellet after pellet from the SPAS-12 hitting her in the upper and lower torso. She looks at her wounds, some blood coming out of her mouth, before she suddenly collapses. BiggerFish tries to see if he can keep her alive somehow. [6] BiggerFish finds a very weak pulse from her, as he tears some of her clothing to make bandages. She won't survive if she doesn't get medical attention, though. BiggerFish looks at Cobra in horror, his expression asking "Why", to which Cobra responds. "One of you Wiki-Warriors, the man who I'm sure was PirateJoe killed my men. My friends. Those who I knew for years! I know you're trying to run, but so long as this whole competition is happening, there shall be blood!", a thought racing through BiggerFish's mind that this guy is insane, absolutely mental.

The Robotic Assassin aims his Sniper Rifle at NRDL, his AI making sure this distraction will be dealt with. [4 v 4] A miscalculation in aiming, and another one in knowing who it's fighting equal NRDL grabbing the round again, before throwing it to the ground.

BSN: Again, sorry for the delay, and the moment of slight idiocy that caused it. Also, some of that turn was a bit heavier, but what can you do?

Watch as the police descend on this HELICOPTER AND GUNFIRE SHOOTING UP THEIR CITY.  Also, if nobody else does, medical care Abigail.

To be clear, guns are REALLY RARE in England, and an AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN is just...Not.  This much gunfire would be ringing ALL the alarm bells.

People in the helicopter are to fire on TBF. The Helicopter itself can fire itself if it has guns. Give Kobra satisfaction by allowing him to personally kill TBF with his favorite knife, The Fanged Blade.

Meanwhile, talk to the heads of major EU countries like Germany and France. Just be cordial and nothing major yet. I just want friends in case the U.K.'s panties get twisted over this little incident.

Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 33: Finally!
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

Bleeding on a rooftop is the last thing BiggerFish wanted, but being sarcastic about his bad day isn't on his mind. What is on his mind is that Abigail is bleeding out on the same rooftop. Muttering, "You have got to be kidding me." under his breath, BiggerFish tears off a bit more clothing, this time his own, in an attempt to keep Abigail alive long enough to get help. [8] He wraps bandages around Abigail, her breathing slowing a bit. He keeps pressure on the wounds, trying to stem the bleeding. She's not "stable", per say, but she will possibly live long enough to get help. BiggerFish looks to his left to see the One Eyed Soldier Cobra, who is standing on the other rooftop. He is about to begin his insane ranting again, before he's interrupted by the best possible sound for TBF to hear...sirens, and lots of them.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

King TCM watches the footage through the R.I.S.E. Drone, smirking as he sees Cobra bring the fight to BiggerFish. Upon hearing the sirens, however, TCM's brow furrows before he says, "Really? Do I look like I would scared of some measly English special forces? They can't even contain a soccer riot! My unit has superior discipline, they will kill every Wiki-Warrior they find if they have to go through the entire English army! They will fight to the death!". Seeing England, and the UK as a whole, as a mere nuisance, another obstacle to face, he decides to get some friends to assist him in case of war. [4] His plan, which is to contact loads of European countries in an attempt to get friends to assist them doesn't work well. They say they'll keep in touch, but by the way they appeared to act, it seems they will remain neutral in a case of war. TCM tells the Elite Force to keep BiggerFish down while Cobra shall finish him off. TCM waits to see what will happen to the group now.

Beirus puts on the Alchemic Armor, and decides to check on Aswell and his ally, King TCM. After making some spirited conversation with Aswell, he walks to the control room, to see President Imani Arendse sitting in a chair muttering frantically about an upcoming war of some kind. When he gets to King TCM's chair, he sees the King creepily stoic while watching the UK battle through the R.I.S.E. Drone's camera. Beirus offers something to the King: he will attempt to track the last unaccounted Wiki-Warrior, NRDL. [10+2] He uses a modified version of Alchemy known as http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Alkahestry, which he quickly researches to know how to do. He manages to track NRDL's position using Alkahestry. Beirus has tracked the information to a town in Central Asia. However, he still needs that Philosopher's Stone to power the Nano-Droids' revival network. He needs human souls to do that, and since there's a fight in Essex right now...

The Town, Central Asia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

NRDL sees Fog roll into the town, and presumes Grim got away safe. Turning his attention to the Robotic Assassin, he puts his guitar over his back, before pulling his keyboard out and charging towards it. [3 v 2] He hits the slightly damaged servo of the Robotic Assassin, meaning if it tries to run, it will definitely trip over, and be vulnerable to attack.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

Panic. Fear. Survival. If you were to ask PirateJoe how he was feeling at the moment Andrei began trying to gun him down, you would most likely be right to say those 3 words describe the emotions perfectly. PirateJoe looks for something, anything, to save him, before he looks at his hands, and remembers the wind magic that got him killing the Rwandan Military, causing him to flee due to Cobra's interference. He begins to wave his hands around, trying to tap into the wind magic he needs. [4+1] He manages to push the Enforcers back, but Andrei still stands. PirateJoe throws off his aim by running right past him, before aiming his Makarov at the Enforcers, point blank range due to their prone position. [1+2 v 1] One Enforcer gets a bullet in the cheek, causing some light bleeding.[9+2 v 5] #2 gets a bullet through his chest, causing moderate bleeding due to a bullet passing through his chest.


Both Enforcers stay down due to their wounds, with the moderately bleeding one struggling to even stay awake. Andrei is still up however, and he aims his Judge at PirateJoe, making sure it's loaded with it's bore ammunition. [10 v 8] A bullet grazes Joe, hitting a tree behind him. [2] Unfortunately, the bandages move quite a bit, his wounds still fresh. Though he can fix the mess and prevent his death from bleeding out, he is still being shot at.

The Robotic Assassin stands as still as possible, making sure it doesn't trigger it's failing servo. It aims it's Sniper Rifle at NRDL, and tries to kill him so it can finish it's directive. [8 v 9] It simply misses, it's servo must be causing some interference.

The Elite Force tries to keep BiggerFish down upon King TCM's orders. [7] They manage to pin him down with some gunfire, but upon seeing that they have just pistols, they decide to see if Blackhawk has guns. [3] It actually doesn't, meaning they just have pistols. They continue pinning BiggerFish down.

Upon hearing the sirens, BiggerFish notices that Cobra is suddenly acting as though he's in a frenzy, shaking violently on top of his roof. He suddenly pulls out a dagger that no one knew about from behind his back. BiggerFish can see it has a golden hilt and a silver blade. Cobra suddenly runs forward, doing some parkour, before landing on BiggerFish's roof. Due to his fatigue and the suppression, BiggerFish merely watches as Cobra walks towards BiggerFish. He then says, "Tell me, BiggerFish. I need to know and it seems someone is spreading the rumor. Is my King a Wiki-Warrior? I'll still kill you, but I need to find out!", while holding his dagger, known as the Fanged Blade but is personally nicknamed Fang, to BiggerFish's throat. He does, however, hear the sirens get closer, before seeing lights in the streets.

Finally, after so long of waiting, the police show up, pistols in their holsters and equipped with Riot Gear such as Bulletproof Vests, suddenly storm up to the roof. Cobra attempts to hide, still gripping onto BiggerFish. [9] He manages to drag BiggerFish behind the entrance to the roof, Fang still to his throat. One of the cops races forward, holding a pistol forward and demanding they land. Realizing it could get their King into trouble, the Pilot attempts to land, before being stopped by one of the Elite Force holding a gun to the Pilot's head, before messaging King TCM, asking if they should listen...

I'll still allow the action, though, because you did just use Alkahestry, without seeing NRDL, to track him down. I guess the Crit Roll let you see the world's energy, as well as his own? Sure, let's hand-wave it as such and move on.

I thought about it, and yeah, it is really overpowered. So, yeah, no. Beirus, you can do what you want except use Alchemy on someone you aren't even in the same country as. Now, if you go over to NRDL, that's different, due to their being a chance he will resist your attempt to commit horrible ionized gas based murder.

(( I read the articles. Alkahestry allows for an incredible amount of range since it uses the Dragon's pulse. Van Hohenheim can use alkahestry, since he helped to found it, even though he isn't seen using it. Still, Alchemy is based on tectonic energy, and I think NRDL is on a different tectonic plate than me, so I'm fine with not being able to reach him with my Alchemy. It was kind of a stretch anyway. But the fact that I'm getting nerfed solely because the way I want to use the article I have is "OP" is really rubbing me the wrong way. No normal human should be able to stand up to Van Hohenheim. He's a living Philosopher's Stone. Besides which, there has already been someone with the ability to alter reality through writing. Even to the extent of possibly being able to bind or erase beings viewed as Deities, and I don't remember anyone saying that was overpowered. This is the Wiki Wars, overpowered artices are always a possibility.

But fine, I'll go edit my action in about 7 hours when I'm not at work. Spoiler Alert: I'm just gonna see if the Archangels will go after him.))

Yeah, you're right too. Wiki-Wars are about being overpowered and taking what you have to the limits. It's not really because the article is overpowered, as like both of us said, you need to be in the same tectonic plate. I get what you're saying, OP articles are always a possibility, and the fact that that's the case isn't bad. If you really want to turn NRDL into ionzized gas, we can reach a compromise.

And yeah, no one can stand up to Hohenheim. I think this whole situation started because I wanted to give NRDL a chance to defend himself. Sorry that this all happened.

Post by: Beirus on June 18, 2016, 04:11:24 pm
((That's perfectly valid. If nothing else, the combination of Alkahestry and Alchemy could have a circle appear under the target before the transmutation occurs to give them a chance to dodge. Ionizing NRDL isn't really something I'm adamant about, though, and it'd be fine if you just wanted to say no on the basis of the tectonics thing. The "That would be too OP so nerf" thing is what bugged me, but you've addressed that and I'm fine with whichever decision you want.))

I guess the "circle appears under the target, giving them a chance to dodge" would work, but there is still the whole different tectonics thing. I guess whatever you want is fine, and I suppose that could work if you use quite a bit of Alchemic Power, which will drain your life energy a fair bit.

Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 34: Assist the Fish
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

Behind a rooftop entrance way, Cobra holds BiggerFish hostage with his dagger, Fang. What feels like a million thoughts run through his head, before Cobra's question finally sinks in. BiggerFish looks into the eyes of the One Eyed Rwandan, and simply replies with, "Yep.", to which Cobra reacts with horror...before he begins laughing. Before BiggerFish can say anything, Cobra begins muttering about his friends, PirateJoe, and traitors. BiggerFish sees an opportunity, and calls out for help! [4] BiggerFish sees a couple of cops look around, and also sees them look around to see if they can find him and Cobra. [8] The two cops, one male and one female, turn the corner to see Cobra holding a dagger to BiggerFish. Caught off guard, Cobra backs up a few inches, letting BiggerFish attack. [3 v 6+3] Cobra, only barely looking, blocks BiggerFish's patent pending ball kick. BiggerFish stands up, and tries to escape with the distraction provided by the cops. [9] He runs from the entrance back to the center of the roof to see Abigail get carted off by two paramedics, obvious bandaging around her torso, meaning she may survive. BiggerFish lets loose a sigh of relief, before turning his head to hear vague shouting from the entrance. No soldier can see him really, so what to do...

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

TCM, quite quickly, relays the orders to retreat, before seeing Cobra in front of two cops, and sinking back into his chair in the control room.

Beirus exits the control room, before looking for Job, Esther, and Josiah. He finds them enjoying the majestic Rwandan Flower Wine, acting very mellow around Beirus. Beirus relays NRDL's location, and the Archangels rise up. Beirus asks them how long it'll take, but they assure him that they will be swift due to their holy power. Beirus nods as he watches them fly off, before taking a sip of Rwandan Flower Wine.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

PirateJoe, standing weakened at the blood pouring out of him, slowly turns his head at the Essenas, before saying, "If I pass out, please take me to a hospital. After I recover, buy me a train ticket to Vladivostok.", almost casually. He then charges towards Andrei, the gun wielding leader of a whole crime family who is hunting the man down. [7 v 9] Andrei pushes Joe away, the man landing on his feet before he begins clutching his wounds, barely standing on his feet.

?, Central Asia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date:7/19/2016

Speedster vs Robot, man vs machine, NRDL vs the Robotic Assassin. His speed allows thoughts to speed through his head, all of them saying the same thing. That this droid needs to be stopped. NRDL pulls his guitar, and prepares an overhead strike straight to the robotic skull of the robot...even though it's head is just skull. [10 v 7] The heavy guitar slams into the robot, oil pouring out of the open wound as if it were blood, with it's open eye shutting as though wincing in pain. NRDL walks closer to the droid, guitar still in hand.


Officer Simon and Lauren Lorring, siblings raised at birth to serve the law, had gotten an odd call earlier that day. Automatic weapons fire in Downtown Essex. As the two siblings ran down to the location of the weapons fire, they saw a large, black and red helicopter in the vicinity. Dashing up to the roof, they see the chopper leaving, and a young woman bleeding on the roof. They suddenly hear someone cry out for help, and turn to the entrance to see a man held to the roof with a knife to his throat, the dagger being held by what appears to be a soldier. The Soldier suddenly backs up, as the man runs off. Both of them hold their service pistols up, with Simon telling the soldier he's under arrest and Lauren telling him to put his hands up.

Cobra stares the two soldiers down, before switching his dagger to his left hand, and pulling his M1911 service pistol out. Cobra fires his gun at Simon, making sure to aim down the sight. [1+3 v 5] Simon, on pure instinct, dodges the gunfire and fires back on Cobra. [5 v 7+3] Cobra merely sidesteps as the bullets hit the wall. Cobra then looks to see Blackhawk escape.

Andrei holds up his revolver, speaking Russian in a tone that can only be described as cryptic, before pointing the barrel of the Judge at PirateJoe. Before he fires, he gestures to his wounded Enforcers to beat it, before firing! [3 v 6] PirateJoe rolls out of the way, before the adrenaline finally runs out and the weakness gets to him.

The Robotic Assassin pulls it's Sniper Rifle out, oil getting into it's eyes as it tries to aim at NRDL. [7-2 v 1] A bullet suddenly penetrates NRDL's chest! As NRDL suddenly sits down due to the sudden pain, he swears he can see a bright light in the sky...wait-

Suddenly, 3 Archangels appear, pulling their swords out and pointing them at NRDL. Josiah steps forward, still pointing his sword at NRDL. He says, "N. R. D. L. Upon the orders of Brother Beirus, you are to be executed under the Rwandan Royalty and Presidency. Prepare to meet God, good sir.", only for NRDL to suddenly, and under some stress, get up, and with pain in his voice, say, "Y-yeah, yeah, give me a minute to beat this robot to deactivation.", causing Esther and Job to look to Josiah, who merely steps forward with his sword drawn, unfazed.

Since this is pretty much a suicide attack, I'm going to go ahead and ask, would you like to be re-waitlisted? I know it's pretty presumptuous, but well...

And this is quite honorable, I should know, I was a samurai...you know, out of the context of that being my first character in TCM's Wiki-War, that sounds pretty peculiar...

EDIT: Alrighty, then! I'll re-waitlist you...after you die. Because you aren't dead yet.

Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm

Because BiggerFish's turn came first, and he escaped. During his turn, he called out for help, causing the Police Officers to show up and distract Cobra, also causing him to stop chasing Bigger Fish. If you want Cobra to go after TBF this turn, go right ahead.
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: TCM on June 21, 2016, 05:21:50 pm
That makes sense, thanks for clearing that up.

Cobra runs after TBF with very stabby intentions, yelling "Fuck the police."

The helicopter is to go after TBF and light him up, even if that must be with pistol fire.

The Russian Mafia does what they are good at.

Prepare a squadron of Rwandan military aircraft to chase after TBF, we're taking this S.O.B. down regardless of the cost.

Correct-a-mundo, and man will you be lucky if I ever type that again. You are right in that guns are rare, even to Police, in Britain. I'm not going to handwave it by just saying the cops are specially trained either, though I guess Riot Police do have that sort of training. I may have to explain the credentials next turn, but going into that much detail might be a bit...much.

And yeah, North Korea having nuclear weapons is a big deal, but Rwanda wouldn't have such weapons, since they would be dismantled upon signing of said African Treaty? Yeah, Rwanda is rogue, but it can't just synthesize Nukes out of thin air. On my understanding, nuclear missiles require months to properly produce, especially if the factories and laboratories required haven't been used in quite some time.

Also, I quite enjoy Cyan, Navy, Crimson, and Maroon nations. A nice big pallet of shades that way.

Considering the amount of gunfire earlier, it think it wouldn't be much of a hand wave if they where specially trained or something similar.

Regarding nukes, who said you need actual nukes? Some kind of Alchemy bomb could have similar effects.

Or TCM could always just get someone to kidnap a nuclear scientist from some nation.

(http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Solf_J._Kimblee) Still, TCM is the one who decides these things, and what he wants to do with any weapons is his choice.

Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 35: Honorable Death
?, Central Asia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

Eyes turn to NRDL after his declaration, all 4 of his hostile entities pointing their respective weapons at the bleeding Speedster. Suddenly, NRDL pulls out a couple of objects. AT Mines, to be exact. At this, Josiah merely says, "Mines? Oh, foolish child. You can't just place a mine when we are already here. We would dodge it.", before NRDL chuckles darkly, before raising his head to look at the Archangel. NRDL then says, with a voice that sounds calmer then expected, "Oh, these? I'm not going to place them, per say.", and then, before anyone could say a thing, time seemed to slow to a crawl. NRDL tosses the AT Mines into the air, and activates the SpeedZone, to which he then super-speed punches the mines! A sudden, large explosion erupts, NRDL seemingly disappearing in the fireball, which seems to have been amplified by the SpeedZone!

[6+3 v 1] As the fireball erupts, The Robotic Assassin tries to flee, but the fireball consumes it! Flying away from the sheer force of the explosion is the droid, which is now missing one of it's arms and it's whole lower half is also gone! It appears to be deactivated, as well.

[1+3 v 10+3] Josiah manages to tap into his Holy Powers fast enough to fly from the explosion, managing to land on a nearby cliff face, spectating the destruction.

[6+3 v 4+3] Esther is closer than Job, and therefore feels the heat. The explosion's heat burns the flesh on her arm, and she is close enough that shrapnel will become a major threat. [5+2 v 10+3] Some of the shrapnel, Esther dodges, but for the most part, the shrapnel misses. She then flies to the cliff-face, watching carnage await.

[3+3 v 8+3] Job flies back to Josiah and Esther, ignoring the heat and shrapnel.

Typically, Explosions had a shockwave as well, and shockwaves can do things like break bones and rupture organs. And since the three Archangels were grouped up again...[4+2 v 9+3] The 3 Archangels fly back, but not before they feel the shockwave of the massive detonation. As they look back, they see not gory remains, but nothingness, as though the man formerly known as NRDL was never there...
NRDL has sacrificed himself, and took the Robotic Assassin with him.

Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

BiggerFish stares at the escaping Blackhawk, a scowl on the Shapeshifter's face. In order to get his revenge, BiggerFish tries to gather the energy to turn back into one of his most powerful forms: Khepri, the Egyptian God. [1] He not only can't get the energy to transform, but he actually collapses to his knees, a pained gasp escaping the man. Still determined, BiggerFish tries again. [9] He thinks about all his injuries, from the Rwandan Military, and me. This energy drives him, and he has transformed back into Khepri, where, in his mind, it's time for a Helicopter to burn. [10 v 6] A large Fireball clips Blackhawk, causing it to slightly spin, to which the Pilot tries to get it under control. [8] The Helicopter manages to right itself, but the rocking will still make it difficult for anyone to do much. BiggerFish, still fatigued, quickly changes back to human form.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

TCM, sitting in the R.I.S.E. Control Room with a similar scowl on his face, relays orders to his men, before walking out of the room. He calmly walks to the nearby barracks, before walking up to those responsible for the Airforce. He orders them to get a squadron together in order to kill TheBiggerFish. [6] They'll be able to get to BiggerFish, but they only have two fighter planes ready. [9] Luckily, both of them have Gatling Guns and a hatch made for dropping bombs. TCM asks around for how long it'll take, making it clear he doesn't want it to take long. [6] Judging purely from distance, one of the techs says that it may take a few hours, so either the Middle Morning, or Late in the Morning. TCM walks off, before one of his assistants pulls him into a room. The room is for contacting World Leaders. There is a video screen in the room, which clicks to life before settling on a man in a lavish suit. The man says, in a British accent, "'Ello, King TCM. I, as you should know, am the current Prime Minister of Great Britain. As you may, or may not know, your men have been spotted attacking my folks in Essex. Now, you're not in trouble, per say, but can you give me a rundown of why there's soldiers in Rwandan Military garb in my country shooting blokes? That'd be great.", those words causing TCM to slightly shrink into a chair in front of the screen, before regaining courage and responding...

Beirus attempts to use Alchemy to improve his already impressive exo-suit. [9+2] He transmutes multiple different metals in order to create a powerful Armor set, appropriately resembling Alphonse Elric. It defends with a power similar to that of Beirus's holy power (+3 to defense), but also keeps the forcefield AND it also has a built in tracker so that Beirus can track and identify Wiki-Warriors from a distance. (+2 to Tracking and Identification)

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe sits upon his knees, before looking up to Andrei Petrenko, the mob boss that's given him his newest injuries. PirateJoe weakly pushes Andrei's gun out of the way, before pulling his Makarov out of his holster and firing! [5-2 v 2] A bullet grazes Andrei, barely missing his chest. PirateJoe teeters on his knees, before falling flat on his face, unconscious.


Andrei scowls, before pointing his gun at PirateJoe. [7 v 9-2] Andrei doesn't get to fire, however as both Essenas manage to tackle Andrei to the ground! Mrs. Essena gets up to call the Emergency Services, which will be here in one turn...so just barely enough to save Joe.

The Archangels return to Parliament, and report Esther to a nearby hospital for her burns.

Blackhawk turns back to TBF, and re-opens it's side door. The Elite Force aims their collective pistols at TBF, but distance and the rocking of the Helicopter makes it much more difficult to fire at the man. [10-2-1 v 1] Bullets hit his arms and legs, as BiggerFish falls onto his knees, staring at Blackhawk in fear and anger.

Cobra looks at the two cops, before thinking about something. Before Simon and Lauren can do anything, Cobra suddenly holds up two fingers at them, before running to BiggerFish, who looks at the One Eyed Soldier. Cobra pulls Fang out again, before charging at BiggerFish with an insane grin on his face. [7+3 v 3] Cobra stabs BiggerFish in the stomach, which aggravates several wounds. Cobra then says, "One by one, all Wiki-Warriors...shall die!, before laughing insanely.

Simon and Lauren run to Cobra, and pull their guns out. Cobra looks to them, and says, "I, uh, though British police didn't get firearms. Then again, you are Riot Cops, but you couldn't stop sports fans-ah forget it.", Lauren and Simon look at eachother before ordering him to surrender or they will fire on him, Cobra looking around a bit before holding up a finger, and activating his headset, telling TCM that Britain may be short some cops...

BSN: The only news show that people look forward to less than Fox News.

2. Yeah, Rwanda is not a rogue nation, or a rouge one for that matter. It's just that the British government may want answers, and if they don't like those answers...yeah.

Pretty sure that's just how British people are. "Ah, you fancy some collateral damage do you, mate?"

Helicopter is to keep shooting on TBF while Cobra stabs his ass many times. Cobra can put that Auto-Shotgun to work too if that would be more effective.

Wave down the Fighter Planes from flying off just now.

Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 36: God Save the Fish
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

BiggerFish stared forward blankly, having lost all hope. Abigail was probably dead, he was bleeding out with Cobra's dagger in his stomach, and TCM was going to get away with it. He swore he could hear ringing in his ears, and his vision was slowly losing color. He called out one last time for someone, anyone to help him. [5] BiggerFish called on everyone, anyone, who could save him. His call doesn't spontaneously summon The Beatles or an alternate BiggerFish, but it does spur Simon and Lauren into action! [1 v 10+3] Cobra drags his dagger out of BiggerFish's stomach, before he, in a flash, suddenly rakes Fang across two bullets, destroying them. He then holds up a finger, before suddenly yelling out, "JUST A MOMENT! Can you give me THAT?!", before pulling out his SPAS-12, and turning to BiggerFish, before gently putting his foot on BiggerFish's shoulder and then pushing him down. He stares into BiggerFish's eyes, before checking if he has ammunition. BiggerFish calls out just one more time, trying his hardest to be heard. [10] He yells out to everyone he can think of, such as The UK and US Military Services, The Beatles, and Abigail...3 of those showed up. "There they are!", BiggerFish hears, as he looks over to the entrance. Two British Soldiers guard the door, both of them wearing identical uniforms and berets, also holding two assault weapons. Behind them are the Beatles, who now resemble their modern selves, as John has longer hair and a beard, Ringo has shorter hair and sunglasses, George has longer hair and a mustache and Paul is just older. Behind them is Abigail, who is being held up by Paramedics. She has her arm in a sling, and visible through the bullet holes in her jacket and shirt are bandages, her eyes tired as though she were on painkillers. Cobra looks at them, before mockingly saying, "Holy Deus Ex Machina. I'm sure if Mr. Fish wasn't coughing up blood, he'd be asking what took so long. Blackhawk, take care of these jokers.", and propping his SPAS-12 onto his shoulder.

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

TCM sits proudly in his chair, and prepares his defense. He says, "Mr. Prime Minister, I have not ordered any troops to your country. If they are there, they are not acting under my control.", hoping he believes his defense. [9] The Prime Minister seems to buy it, as he bids TCM farewell. TCM then contacts Cobra, one of the 40 Rwandan Soldiers he ordered to the U.K., and therefore are totally under his control. TCM orders Blackhawk and Cobra to their actions, until Cobra brings up the reinforcements who've come to BiggerFish's aid. TCM acknowledges this, and tells him that they need to do whatever it takes to kill BiggerFish.

Beirus walks over to the Hospital, and meets up with the Archangels. He walks into Esther's room, which briefly freaks her put as he's decked out in Alphonse's armor and is just walking around in giant armor due to it. Still, he draws an Alkahestry Circle and prepares to heal her burns. [6+2] He manages to heal her burns with his Alkahestry, and natural healing will finish it off. Satisfied, Beirus walks back into the waiting room.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe is unconscious, and in blissful sleep. He can, however, hear vague fighting in the back of his mind, almost as if it's yards away. [9 v 10] Blissful sleep...


Meanwhile, in the waking world, Mr. Essena just missed a punch, and Andrei is aiming his gun at him. Suddenly, headlights pull up as an Ambulance appears. The Essenas try to distract Andrei so that PirateJoe can be picked up. [4] While PirateJoe is loaded into the Ambulance, Andrei notices the deception quickly and tries to fire at them. [10 v 7] One of the Paramedics gets a bullet in the arm, at which point they speed off. One of the Paramedics tries to save PirateJoe's life. [5] She manages to clean and dress his wounds, but they only hold for a temporary amount of time, as they are supposed to be used to keep patients alive long enough to reach a hospital.

The U.K. Soldiers pick up their https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA80 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA80) assault rifles and aim them at Cobra. [2 v 6+3] Cobra dodges one of their bullets. The other one fires as well. [4 v 2+3] Cobra dodges those rounds as well. In the distraction, one of the Paramedics try to pull BiggerFish behind the entrance. [9] Cobra let's his sight out for a mere second, enough for a Paramedic to prop BiggerFish up. They perform First Aid and Bullet Dressing on him. [8] They manage to dress his wounds, stopping the bleeding out. BF is still kept down by his injuries, though in the battle, the in shock, Painkiller filled Abigail sits down next to him.

The Beatles charge forward, each one brandishing portable versions of their instruments. [8 v 10+3] Cobra ducks under John Lennon's guitar before decking him in the face. George pulls his guitar out and lunges forward. [9 v 1+3] The Guitar slams into Cobra's arm, breaking the skin and causing some blood to drip onto the ground. Cobra gasps before Paul pulls out a miniature drum set and lunges. [2 v 10+3] Cobra dodges, and then clocks Paul in the face. Ringo then pulls out his own percussive set and calmly walks towards Cobra. [4 v 10+3] Cobra preemptively kicks Ringo in the stomach, before walking towards the Entrance.

Blackhawk has it's occupants fire at the groups helping BiggerFish. [10+3 v 6] Both Soldiers get a bullet in their sides causing them to flinch before moving behind some cover. [10+3 v 5] A bullet for each Beatle hits, all 4 of them crashing to the ground before crawling to cover.

Cobra calmly walks behind the entrance, ignoring Abigail's drugged begging to stop. BiggerFish looks up, to which Cobra says, "Listen. I hate you Wiki-Warriors. All of you are killers, dragging innocents into the slaughter. But, I'm not evil. I heard you have knives. Get up and use 'em. Well, if you survive this bit.", before pulling his SPAS-12 out and pointing it at BiggerFish. [3+3 v 3] BiggerFish's arm gets a few pellets through it, causing blood to splash onto the wall. BiggerFish's reaction is to clutch his wound, before checking his belt to discover a Kitchen Knife and Meat Cleaver, still as clean as when he got it when he was brought to the Sleepy Village.

The Beatles:Save the day with the power of music (from behind cover!).  Maybe 'Imagine', because that is just a good song for calling for peace.

Meanwhile...

Physics complains that YOU CAN'T BLOCK A BULLET WITH A KNIFE, let alone two.

If physics reasserting itself doesn't murderize Cobra, well...Stab him.  Stab him like he stabbed me.  Or chop him with the cleaver.

((Just throwing it out there on the off chance Cobra does get another natural critical +bonus against a critical fail, but a perfectly valid way to deal with bullets vs. Knife without breaking physics is for him to deflect or divert the trajectory of the bullets into TBF or someone else within probably a 60 degree cone from the point of deflection. Bullets are typically made of lead, after all, which is much more malleable than tempered steel, so they would be able to bounce off the blade.))

((The actual part of the bullet that is fired is lead, possibly covered with a thin copper jacket. Even with a copper jacket, it would still be softer than steel. Unless they used depleted uranium rounds or slugs, which as far as I'm aware are only for tanks and shotguns, respectively. But as far as handgun ammo goes, lead bullets with a copper jacket at most, unless they're hollow-points, at which point they would shatter and the shrapnel would fly directly into you with probably low penetration, if it penetrated at all and didn't just crumple upon impact.))

Post by: Beirus on June 26, 2016, 12:42:43 am
((As far as I know, most police forces use hollow point rounds for maximum stopping power. They are meant to expand upon impact, increasing the bleeding and soft tissue damage to flesh. The flip side of that is that they fragment and break upon hitting anything more durable than them, since the center of the bullet is actually hollow to facilitate the expansion. They also don't have much penetrating power, since the kinetic energy from the bullet is transferred upon the first impact. If one of the cops happened to hit TBF by accident while aiming at Cobra, there would be virtually no chance of the bullet going through to hit Cobra. Just incase it comes up.

This informative segment has been brought to you by Beirus' Bullets. "They're what goes in your guns". *insert catchy jingle here*))

Match 1: The Beginning
Gamemode: Deathmatch
Round 37: Snake vs. Fish
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

BiggerFish clutches his arm wound, before he realizes something odd. BiggerFish says, "Hold on. Blades can't block bullets, can they?", only for his opponent, the appropriately venomous Cobra to to respond that they just broke. BiggerFish nods, and motions to the Beatles to stop the Chopper for a second with music. [7+2 (Pro Musicians)] Despite the Pilot's demanding they continue firing, the Elite Force stop their battle, and begin to sing along to "Imagine". Still, it'll only be a temporary distraction, but tearing away from a Beatles song is difficult. Cobra looks at his Blackhawk riding brethren, only to turn around to see BiggerFish holding his Kitchen Knife and Meat Cleaver. Fish dives forward, his Kitchen Knife held out to stab Cobra. [10 v. 4+3] The silver blade of the Knife finally stains red, as the blade jams into Cobra's stomach. It isn't the most dangerous injury, yet it is still bleeding. Yet, BiggerFish is not done, as while the knife is still in Cobra's body, he swings the Meat Cleaver at Cobra's head. [9 v 3+3] The Meat Cleaver slashes into Cobra's cheek, causing blood to squirt out in a disturbing manner. It still isn't a big cut, but when Cobra pulls his body off the blade in his gut, he sees his blood on the ground, and begins shaking violently again, a very sick grin on his face...

Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

TCM relays his orders to Blackhawk and Cobra, only to find that Cobra's bleeding and going insane, and the Elite Force is singing and dancing. TCM tries to get them back to their mission using his leadership. [1] It actually seems like the Beatles are playing loud enough that the Elite Force don't even pay attention.

Beirus, wanting to put his perfect plan in action, tries to transmute an Alchemic Re-breather, so that he can breathe when he uses his plan. [8+2] He creates an Alchemy based Re-Breather, that works on an automatic Transmutation. It runs on several channels, which transmutes the air into cleaner oxygen to make everything more simple then the average Gas Mask. Not only does it do that, but when Beirus transmutes it, it has a very large pocket of air, and with the automatic Transmutation, that means he has, essentially, near-unlimited air. Beirus is pleased with himself, and then he proceeds to plan out the next few steps.

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe suddenly wakes up from his dream, the lush field being replaced by the cold steel of a Russian Ambulance, and two other people standing over him. One of the Paramedics walks over to him, and tries to dress his wounds a bit better. [1] Suddenly, the Ambulance swerves, causing some of the Bandages that were already there to slip, speeding up the bleeding out process. One of the Paramedics tries to fix the damage he caused. [8] The Paramedic manages to fix the wounds, thus keeping PirateJoe awake and alive longer.


Suddenly, pulling up behind the Ambulance is Andrei, who is driving his black Ford. Andrei fires out of his window, trying to spook the Ambulance. [7 v 9] The Ambulance swerves out of the way of the gunfire, which is what caused Joe's little accident. Andrei can be seen going absolutely mad with rage, as he speeds up to try to get to the Ambulance.

The Pilot of Blackhawk, looking incredulously at the Military Force singing along to Imagine instead of doing their mission. [2] The Pilot yells at them to do their job, but the Beatles' playing is so good, that they cannot resist. The Pilot, with an annoyed look on his face, calls up TCM and President Arendse to ask if they really have to stay, especially since they are still wanted by the Police and Military.

"Betrayed. Lost. No Gods or Kings. Kings don't exist. Wiki-Warriors...must die...".
Cobra suddenly screams in a rage, his eyes seemingly unblinking as his bleeding body charges at BiggerFish, with Fang clutched in his hand. [4+3+1 (Insane, Violent Rage) v 5] Fish screams out as Fang stabs into his cheek, Cobra slashing through Fish's cheek, before getting into a loose stance. Fish clutches his cheek in agony, before getting into his own stance.

The Two Soldiers take the distraction the Beatles have laid out, and they fire at Blackhawk itself, not the people inside. [4 v 8] The Pilot, otherwise known as the only sane person in the current battle, dodges the gunfire, before facepalming. The Pilot then asks the King and President that if they should stay there, that the Pilot fight as well.

Also, I wanna say that the joke about John Lennon being used to getting shot was in poor taste, but to honest, I was going to use that joke at some point. Like, maybe a One liner saying, "I'm your biggest fan". Is that off color? Well, yes, but it isn't the real John, but at this point I'm rambling about a really dead person.

I like it a lot, there's the right amount of detail and action.

If I had one main issue, and this just me personally and may not reflect the opinions of other players, I'd say tone down the involvement of the people from the Wiki-Wars organization, like those reporters in the helicopter at the start of the game. It's fine for them to retaliate or get involved if a player directly provokes them, (I think TBF was purposely doing it in the beginning, going after their helicopter and what not) but I prefer them as an enigmatic, mysterious organization that only appears when truly necessary.
Then again, this is a minor thematic detail. The core gameplay, writing and systems are all solid.

@TCM: I suppose the Charon Channel people would be associated with Jess and Co., but I assumed that they were independent, just doing their job when they got pulled into the crossfire. Then again, Jess does have a company, the Warner Industrial Program, and you guys don't know everything about the Cult of Jericho, in fact, it's only the bare essentials of who they are. I suppose the CoJ are technically the Wiki War organization, and I don't know if they sent for the News Chopper.

After all the text, I appreciate a little critique. More will be known as time progresses, but the whole story of what's going on may take a while to do, so for right now, WIP and the Cult are, indeed, going to remain mysterious and enigmatic, it's just that people may find out more and more as time progresses.

Sorry if that seemed a bit corrective, but what can you do?  :)

Match One: Deathmatch
Round 38: The Battle for Essex
Essex, United Kingdom
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

With all the blood on the rooftop, one would think this battle would be over, but with desperation in his eyes, BiggerFish disagrees. He clutches his cheek, which is now in half due to Cobra's insane attack. BiggerFish charges towards Cobra, both of his blades held out in order to cause as much damage as possible to the One Eyed Soldier. [7 v 3+3] BiggerFish's kitchen knife slashes Cobra's arm, the Soldier gasping as a bit more blood joins the puddles on the roof. [3 v 7+3] Despite the injury, Cobra still blocks the next strike by grabbing BiggerFish's arm, and judo throwing him. It doesn't do any more real damage, but BiggerFish is still in quite a bit of pain, gasping and grunting as he looks over to his allies, begging for help. Cobra looks at the crumpled form of BiggerFish, before looking to his allies in Blackhawk, and his enemies on the rooftop. He then laughs insanely, another sick grin on his face as he pulls his Shotgun out, BiggerFish's silent cry for help going non-silent as he begins yelling for help...

Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

TCM slumps into his chair, a bored and annoyed expression on his face as he watches his men sing along to Imagine, all the while the Pilot is practically screaming at them to continue the fight.  TCM stands up, his face contorted into what can only be described as "Calm Rage", as he orders them to get their jobs done! [5+The fact that he is literally King] The Elite Force suddenly scrambles back to position, aiming their guns back down at the Rooftop. TCM also orders the Pilot to fight as well, to which the Pilot sighs in contentment, before pulling out [5] the IMI Desert Eagle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Desert_Eagle) and landing Blackhawk on a nearby rooftop. The Elite Force piles out, before the Pilot gets out and, speaking to the R.I.S.E. Drone, says, "Glad you're giving me the opportunity, sir. My callsign is Black Hornet, in case you want to track me, and it would be best to, with all due respect sir.. TCM nods, and goes to order Cobra to finish his mission, but instead of a brief, whispered affirmative, he instead gets insane laughter. TCM, after hearing that, calls up his informants in Russia, asking for manpower in exchange for a possible favor. The Informant says two things. He asks how discreet he wants it, and they want [3] a gift of some men, perhaps highly skilled individuals around the skill level of the Elite Force. Once they receive the men, they'll send an "Eliminator" to finish Joe off.

Beirus, satisfied with his Re-Breather, decides to start the next stage of his plan by creating a skintight outfit that can survive in a vacuum. [3+2] It is capable of surviving a vacuum...for a short time. It won't last forever, meaning whatever Beirus is going to do, he has to do it quick! [2 turn limit on surviving in a vacuum.]

Moscow, Russia
Time: Early Morning. Weather: Light Fog. Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe lays down on a stretcher in a Russian Ambulance, having awoken from his wounds. While still laying, he looks through the windows on the back doors to find Andrei still chasing them down in his Ford, his Taurus Judge still in his left hand as he accelerates towards the Ambulance. Joe hears sirens, much quicker then ones in, say, Essex. A Police Car shows up, and they try to run Andrei off the road. [10 v 3] Andrei's car gets hit by the Cop Car, to which it spins out and crashes into some trees off the road. The Cop Car stops near the car, but Joe cannot see what happens, as the Ambulance parks at the Hospital. Joe is wheeled into a room at high speeds, and is attended to by a doctor. [3] The Doctor does the absolute best he can, but in a short timeframe, all it does is take longer to bleed out, and Joe feels a bit stronger. Still, he is getting proper healthcare soon, so he's pretty much good. Unless the Chessmaster himself has anything to say about it.


The Elite Force, despite having landed, are still trying to suppress The Beatles. They fire at John, Paul, George, and Ringo in order to get them to retreat. [9+3 v 10] With a few glancing shots, and a few bullet wounds in select feet and legs, the Beatles are sent running off the Rooftop, leaving through the Entrance.

Cobra, lording his shotgun over BiggerFish's form like he was parading around a large trophy, looks around, but finds, to his dismay, that Simon, Lauren, and the Military are all pointing their guns at him. [6 v 10+3] Cobra, deciding that breaking physics isn't the best idea in the world, dodges the rounds. [7 v 3+3] A bullet from the SA80 grazes Cobra's arm, skinning him. [1 v 1+3] Cobra then just barely dodges another round from the other soldier.

Cobra points his shotgun at BiggerFish, the Wiki-Warrior just lying there. [9+3 v 3] BiggerFish tries to roll out of the way, but after he finishes rolling, he collapses back to his knees, and in trying to get up, he suddenly finds that he only has one arm to support himself. BiggerFish looks up to see Cobra holding Fish's severed right arm, the sick grin on his face growing too wide, almost unhealthy.

Black Hornet jumps to a rooftop close to the battle's rooftop. He then points his gun at BiggerFish, ready to do his duty to survive. [9 v 7-2] A 357. Round suddenly penetrates Fish's chest, the man collapsing onto his back.

[7 v 9+3] Cobra hops out of the way of a kick, turning his head to see a Paramedic holding Abigail, who has her leg held out as though she was the one who kicked-...oh. In the distraction, another Paramedic tries to block the bleeding of the now missing limb. [8] He manages to stem and bandage the wound, keeping BiggerFish alive. He then tries to stem the other wounds' bleeding. [4] He is successful in bandaging the majority of the wounds, but the smaller cuts remain open, and the bandages may slip off if any more fighting occurs. The Paramedic then runs, trying to get his way to an Ambulance. [4] He gets to the Ambulance with BiggerFish, piling him in. A minute passes, before Fish asks why they aren't leaving, to which the Medic replies that they need to wait for Abigail and the other Paramedic. [2] They still don't show up, but the lack of gunshots means they probably aren't dead yet...

2nd: I've actually trying to figure damage out at the moment. I feel like the system we have, where the bigger the number, the more damage it causes. I'm thinking of changing it so that damage is determined by subtracting attack and defense apart. If you don't agree with being Edward Elric'd, BiggerFish, just tell me. Though, given crits and realistic damage, it was either that, or pellet after pellet into your heart. Not trying to be mean, of course, I'm just asking if maybe the newer system might work better, or if I should keep it as is.

Round 39: TCM's Plans of Victory
Parliament, Rwanda
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

TCM agrees to the offer, saying that he'll train up some men for them, as much as he can train in a quick span of time. The voice on the other end of the phone is silent, before saying that that's fine, they don't really need a specific number, but then the voice once again asks about discretion, and also collateral damage. TCM merely replies that they'll negotiate that when the men are trained. He walks back over to the barracks, and brings forth around 30 men to train. [8] He manages to train a sizable amount, around [1d30=12] 12 brand new assassins, that TCM instructs to go to Russia, so as to meet up with the Informant and his men. The Assassins agree, and they go grab equipment that's better then the Elite Force. [3] They only get a standard loadout, and all of them have the same loadout. 12 Mossberg 500s, 12 Beretta M92As, 12 Frag Grenades, 12 Flashbangs, 12 Combat Knives, and 12 Kevlar Vests. As they go to a Military Helicopter to leave for Moscow, TCM gets a sudden burst of inspiration. He decides he's going to construct Rwanda's first IHOP! [3] Due to the civilians in Rwanda actually caring about the Wiki-War unlike literally everyone else on the planet, however, the people don't see much use in a new restaurant at the moment. Due to that, he can't amass a crew to begin construction. Hope isn't lost, however. Perhaps when the last 2 Wiki-Warriors are gone...

Beirus, while happy with his progress, is not happy with how his suit is working. Thus, he tries to re-transmute it to increase his suit's vacuum surviving capabilities. [5+2] He manages to increase the amount of time he can spend in a vacuum greatly. [Can survive 6 turns in a Vacuum] Beirus thinks about this, wondering if this'll work for his plan.

Moscow, Russia
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe stays awake as a team of doctors and surgeons surround him as he is quickly placed under anesthetic. [6] After around 30 minutes, Joe awakens to find a doctor standing over him. The Doctor talks to Joe, saying, "Well, Mr. Joe, you managed to pull through okay. It seems the shot to your prosthetic leg popped a vessel, so we managed fix things up. We also managed to heal your injuries. However, we're going to have to ask you to stay in the Hospital for a few hours at the least, and until tomorrow at the most. It'll depend on how patched up your injuries are.", to which Joe nods, before looking to his Kevlar Vest, silently wondering why it didn't stop Cobra's bullets...

Staring at the bleeding stump that used to be his right arm is BiggerFish. Strangely, he isn't screaming in fear or yelling in pain. Rather, the Shapeshifting Wiki-Warrior is strangely calm, to which the Paramedic asks what's happening. BiggerFish merely responds with, "...R-revenge.", and at that moment, he sees another Paramedic carrying Abigail out of the building, running towards the Ambulance. BiggerFish sits up, and opens the door to let them in, before looking up to see Cobra. The One Eyed Soldier stares at BiggerFish, before shaking and laughing, the sound of insanity annoying the Wiki-Warrior. Cobra suddenly sprints forward, Fang held tightly in his hands and he charges. Smirking, BiggerFish holds his left hand out, waiting to catch the Soldier. [5 v 8] Cobra, having enough sanity to see that coming, ducks under his hand before sliding into the Ambulance. In desperation, BiggerFish tries again, [3 v 1] and manages to grip onto Cobra's arm, and while it is weak due to his injuries, it's strong enough to hold the Soldier. Cobra suddenly calls out, "W-what? Why isn't my defense activat-, before thinking it over, before saying, "...Oh, right. The whole "Kill all Wiki-Warriors" thing, my king's a-okay.".


Before Cobra can do his ultimate attack, he must first escape Fish's grip. [4 v 5] Cobra tries to pry his arm out of BiggerFish's grip, but finds that the Warrior, despite weakly holding on, still has a strong enough grip to hold Cobra. The Soldier merely shrugs, before switching Fang to his off hand. [10 v 1] BiggerFish's eyes widen, his hearing slowly turning to a mere ringing as he can see Abigail gasp, and then scream. Before he can even ask why, he becomes very aware of the violent pain in his skull. He looks up to see Cobra pull Fang out of his Skull, his sick grin finally calming for the first time since he saw Fish. Cobra then performs his Cobra Strike, a superman punch basically. Fish is punched out of the car, his vision slumping over to a person, or rather a large Dark Purple silhouette with glowing Purple Eyes. He sees the being walk over to him, before the figure crouches down and looks into BiggerFish's eyes. The Operator then speaks to Fish, saying, "Don't worry, kid. I'm sure you'll get avenged. The world doesn't hate you, be glad about that.", to which Fish merely smiles before his vision goes black, finally able to feel peace since the battle began...
BiggerFish's skull has been stabbed by Cobra! Despite Cobra's plans, he's still serving TCM at the moment, so TCM gets:
http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Ruby_Rose: +Crescent Rose (Scythe/Sniper Rifle 25/25, can morph between the 2 modes and can become compact. Scythe Mode can still fire the Sniper Rifle. 2 Magazines of Reserve Ammo.) +Aura and Semblance: Speed (Aura is like a forcefield, and it can also heal minor wounds. Aura has 100 hitpoints, and takes 1d20 damage. Aura losses are permanent during battle, but it recharges out of combat to full. A Semblance is activated with Aura, and takes 1d15 to use per turn. Ruby's Semblance, and thus TCM's, is speed, thus he is able to traverse vast distances in just one turn.)

TCM and President Arendse look through a computer screen back at Parliament, TCM suddenly gaining a Scyther Rifle as he sees BiggerFish's corpse on the ground outside of an ambulance. TCM sees Cobra take Fang to BiggerFish's neck before being distracted by the Ambulance pulling out of the parking lot. Imani then responds with, "Stop! Don't shoot at them, BiggerFish is dead. They can't harm us.", before turning to TCM. Imani looks at TCM for about a full minute before asking, "And, just what is that?, to which TCM responds with, "I think it's both a Scythe and a customizable high impact sniper rifle.", to which he turns to see Imani with a confused face. TCM then says, "...It's also a gun.", to which Imani nods his head...
---------------
BSN: I think you'll find that by the time this game reaches Chapter Double Digits, I still haven't run out of the things to open these with.

1st. BiggerFish is dead. Wow, I guess you deserve an apology for your string of bad luck, (I mean, who are you, Hawk? [/jk]) If you have a problem with your death, which is understandable though I can't really find anything, then that's fine. If you want to be waitlisted, that's also fine, and I really enjoy your actions, since they seem very creative with the tools you have. The Operator's last words to you might have been saying that things will get better, so...

2nd. Now I know what you're thinking, why did I give TCM a RWBY article, when most of everything in that show would kill everything in this game? Well, because I wanted to represent one of my favorite shows in this game, and that's the best way to do it. Besides, TCM can still be beaten. I know it probably won't be that much of a problem, but to the average PTWer or spectator, it may seem a bit cheap, though I did try to balance it quite a bit. Then again, OP is the name of the game, so, yeah. Just be thankful I didn't give TCM a Combat Skirt [/jk, but maybe not because that would be funny.]

I don't think so. You see, that ability wasn't demonstrated by Hohenheim in either the 2003 or in Bortherhoood. While it would be really quick to do so, it cannot be done.

The questions about discretion and collateral damage the Informant was asking weren't flavor text. They were legitimate questions you have to answer. It's just so that I don't send someone in with a silenced pistol when wanted someone with an LMG and a bomb strapped to their face. So...yeah, that.

Post by: Beirus on July 07, 2016, 02:13:40 am
((Darn, so much for that. Thought I could loophole it because Hohenheim is a Philosopher's Stone and could theoretically just remake a body whenever he got to his destination. Oh well, I still have Alchemy. And if TCM and I end up duking it out, it should be interesting since now we both have forcefields. Not something I was planning on doing if my plan works, though.))

Make a durable long-distance teleportation device, along with a recall pad, through Alchemy. Then go help TCM at IHOP so we can talk. Help with Alchemy. Also have the conversation away from the locals.

"TCM, let me ask you something. Do you care about these people? I mean, do you truly want the best for them even though you had nothing to do with them before the Wiki Wars started? Because they may not survive all of this. Not just this first round, but the ones to follow. I have an idea that may save them, but I will need you to allow me the time to put it into action."
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 07, 2016, 02:30:10 am
((Couple of things. First, I'm not sure you could transmute the Philosopher's Stone, and even if you could, neither Hohenheim nor the Homunculi could so, yeah. Second, if you re-read the turn, you'll find that no one's building the IHOP, I'm taking the liberty to interpret TCM's action to man said IHOP as him building it with some help from loyalist construction crews. You can meet him at the build site so this is literally irrelevant, but that's still a thing.

Also, while I'm here, I though I'd show off what program I use to roll dice. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm. See, when Bigger Fish said he had a problem with the dice, I thought he meant I was fudging everything, until I realized two things: that he meant his unlucky streak, and that I'm an idiot. Still, I thought I'd post the program I use, just to be on the safe side.))

I recall that part of the turn although look back on it I'm still not sure what those questions were about exactly. Like, what about discretion and collateral damage?
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 07, 2016, 12:36:27 pm
@TCM: Basically, it comes down to things like NPC reactions, and PirateJoe's survivability. You can send anything, really, but it's more of what you want specifically? Do you want someone with a big gun and a bomb strapped to their chest shooting everyone in sight, and then detonating in PirateJoe's room? Perhaps, you want a person with a silenced pistol slipping into his room in disguise and shooting him? Maybe you'd want a sniper, or someone in heavy armor.

Basically, it boils down to this: do you want someone discrete without a lot of, or any collateral? Do you want someone non-discrete who'll cause a lot of collateral? Or perhaps, you want a mixture of the two? That's what I mean. Also, I don't want to send someone with a silenced gun if you want a sniper, for example. Sorry for being a bit wordy.

Chapter One: The Beginning
Match One: Deathmatch
Round 40: Beirus's Plans of Escape
Parliament, Rwanda
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

TCM looks onto the screen, Crescent Rose still in his hand as he watches Cobra walk into Blackhawk, in his left hand carrying Fang, and in his right carrying BiggerFish's head, a trophy of the Soldier's. TCM relays that they need to come right back to Rwanda, making sure to add that they'll get a hero's welcome. TCM then responds to the Informant's questions, saying, "A trained, tactical Sniper. Someone with a silent gun. I want to get the drop on PirateJoe.". The Informant merely responds by saying that it'll be done. TCM says bye to his informant, before walking to a plot of land. He decides to build an IHOP by himself, with a loyalist crew to assist. [5+2 (Crew)] TCM makes great progress, or at least a good enough amount with the time he spent. The foundation is set up, and they begin laying bricks and mortar. TCM, overlooking the area, smiles. His plan is succeeding, and soon, he'll be the greatest king in African history.

Beirus has the final part of his plan in place. It's very simple, really. He's going to keep Rwanda's citizens safe, by any means necessary. One mean is a long range Alchemic teleport, which is exactly what he wants. [1+2] Due to several difficulties, including potential injuries and the calculations related to even getting such a thing to work, Beirus shelves that project at the moment, he may have to work on it later. Beirus then walks over to the IHOP build site, and decides to help TCM and the Loyalist Crew. [1+2] Beirus finds that he cannot seem to accomplish his alchemy correctly, which he finds very strange. Still, he waves TCM over, and calls him over to a spot where they can talk away from the locals. Beirus says, "TCM, let me ask you something. Do you care about these people? I mean, do you truly want the best for them even though you had nothing to do with them before the Wiki Wars started? Because they may not survive all of this. Not just this first round, but the ones to follow. I have an idea that may save them, but I will need you to allow me the time to put it into action.", to which TCM responds, with a voice of confusion, "What are you speaking of, Beirus?", to which Beirus responds with, "A safe place for the Rwandans, TCM. A home out of reach of these Wiki Wars. That is what I'm offering. I'll have to make the place first, but that shouldn't be too difficult with my Alchemy. Maybe some place in space, or on Mars, or maybe the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Somewhere that they will be safe from the potential fallout of these events.". TCM considers it, before asking when he can work on it, to which Beirus just responds with "As soon as I can, sir.", TCM nodding before walking back to his small crew.

Moscow, Russia
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe sits down on his hospital bed, trying to see what he can do to escape, when a doctor walks in and examines Joe. [8] The Doc checks his wounds, and deems him alright to leave, provided of course he doesn't strain his body and tear the stitches. Joe leaves, before pausing a moment, annoyed at the fact that he could be ambushed at any moment, before continuing on. He walks to the Trans Serbian Railway, making sure to grab a ticket to Vladivostok on the way. He stays alert, trying to hear, see, or smell anything that could be a threat. [5] He can see a mysterious, hooded individual, but he cannot see if they're hostile. Deciding to stay alert, Joe hides in the crowd as he boards the train, which will be leaving shortly.


The Crew continue work on the IHOP, with TCM assisting the effort. [7+2 (TCM)] They manage to complete the actual building portion of the IHOP, and all they need is stock, a menu, and employees. TCM nods, giving them a thumbs up, before walking back to Beirus.

The Hooded Individual walks to a far off area, before pulling out a Scoped Mosin Nagant, and aiming into the train, specifically looking for PirateJoe. He finds him sitting down, and aims at him. [2+2 (Marksman) v 6] PirateJoe, purely preemptively, dodges the shot as the bullet smashes through a window, the passengers panicking as the train prepares to leave. The Hooded Individual checks it's ammo, before cycling the bolt and preparing to fire again.

Chapter One: The Beginning
Match One: Deathmatch
Round 41: PirateJoe's Plans for Survival
Trans Serbian Railway, Moscow, Russia
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

As the glass in the train cracks and smashes due to the bullet fired by the Assassin, PirateJoe ducks down, not wanting to die before he finishes his plans. He tries to slowly crawl from his seat, peeking out to check the Assassin's aim. [2] By peeking out, though, the Assassin immediately turns their attention to Joe. Luckily, before they can fire, the train begins leaving the Station, which will make it a bit harder for the Assassin to hit Joe. Joe stays down, trying to his hardest to avoid both sight and the broken glass. Joe tries to crawl away again, hoping that now, he can get away from them. [1 (5 v 7-2)] Before he can, though, the Assassin fires their gun at his position. Luckily, the bullet only hits the metal of the train, ricocheting off into the distance as sparks fly off the impact. PirateJoe waits, hoping that the train can leave soon. (Train will be out of harm's way in 2 turns, due to the Mosin Nagant of the Assassin]

Parliament, Rwanda
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

TCM thinks about Beirus's proposition, before accepting, and inviting Beirus to a private location to further discuss these plans. Beirus agrees, TCM ordering the crew to continue without him. Returning to Parliament, TCM opens a passage behind the wall behind his throne to a set of stairs. After grabbing a group of ten Soldiers and President Arendse, The King and his men walk down the stairs into a high tech War Room. According to President Arendse, this place was built as a nuclear bunker during the Cold War, as any nation could have been in the crossfire between the US and the Soviet Union, but it was modified in 1992 to be a meeting room for the remaining African royalty. TCM sits down at the table of the modified bunker, waiting for the Catholic Union to come down for the meeting.

Beirus watches TCM leave, before turning his attention to the crew. He decides to help them by trying to transmute some ranges and counter tops, to make cooking easier. [2+2] Beirus manages to create a single range in the kitchen area, but finds he can't make anymore. It's likely he's burnt out from the Alchemic creation of all the gadgets. Speaking of, he then grabs the long range Alchemic transport, before going to Aswell and the Archangels. After getting them, they follow TCM's directions to the War Room, walking into the Staircase before closing the secret passage behind them. After walking down, they see TCM, President Imani Arendse, and 10 Soldiers at a table, surrounded by supercomputers and an armory. After sitting down, TCM gestures to Beirus to start the proceedings, at which Beirus sets the transporter on the table. TCM looks at it, before saying, "So, what do we do now?", with a grin on his face.


While the War Room is soundproofed, a portable camera held by Imani Arendse shows, from the R.I.S.E. Drone, that Blackhawk has landed. First, the Drone comes out, followed by the 39 Elite Force members, followed by both Cobra and Black Hornet. After Imani directs them to the location, Cobra, Black Hornet, and the Drone are lead into the War Room, making sure to close the entrance behind them. Cobra and Black Hornet sit to the left and right of Aswell, respectively. Cobra looks around, [3] but since all eyes are on the new arrivals, Cobra merely smiles. He doesn't even have one yet, so he can't do anything at the moment...oh well.

The Crew continue their building of the IHOP, deciding to build on Beirus's addition with more ranges. [1] Despite being careful, they drop building materials on Beirus's range, breaking it. One of the Crew stare at the Range for about 20 seconds, before dropping his tools and walking off.

The Assassin stares down their scope, walking to a better angle before aiming at the hiding PirateJoe. [1-2 v 10] Not only does the Assassin's gun jam, not only does PirateJoe take that as an opportunity, but PirateJoe not only can see enough of the Assassin to aim at his with his Tavor, but he aims it in such a way that he can actually aim better! [7+2 v 2] 3 bullets from the Tavor suddenly hit the Assassin, causing the hooded figure to collapse in pain. PirateJoe can't see if the Assassin survived that, though, as he dives down just in case. He then pops his head up, and tries to see if the bullets did the figure in. [6] Despite them seeming incapacitated, they are moving quite a bit, and PirateJoe can see them moving to try to get up. [8] The Assassin does rise up, but it's apparent that they aren't having a good time, as it looks like their arm is dragging by their side instead of holding the Mosin Nagant.

Stay in cover, I'll spare the assassin so long as he doesn't fire again, but if he dose fire again he won't like the results. So basically my action is yet again like the action i have had for the past 5 turns, don't die. Which is honestly kinda funny to me.

I actually had clicked on the example, but I hadn't read it. Now that I have, I simultaneously found it funny, and have a stronger curiosity for the Madoka Magica series/franchise. I now also want to grab something to eat, but there was a food chain, but at this point I'm rambling.

Chapter One: The Beginning
Match One: Deathmatch
Round 42: The Betrayal
Parliament, Rwanda
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

TCM sits at the modified bunker, grinning at the machine he knows doesn't work. He picks it up, inspecting it, before turning to Wiki-Warrior clad in an Alphonse Elric armor. He then drops his smile, putting the machine back on the table as he stands up...before raising his hand in the air and quickly clenching it into a fist. Suddenly, all of the Soldiers, including Cobra and Black Hornet, raise their guns at Beirus and Aswell. As Aswell panics, Beirus rises to his feet before asking why? TCM merely responds with, "Beirus, let me tell you my friend, this is nothing personal. There can only be one victor correct?", causing Beirus to raise his hands in horror. TCM walks into a fake wall, which acts as an emergency hatch. TCM walks outside, merely standing as he expects good results.

Aswell stands up, his hand shaking as he pulls out his sword, while the Archangels walk forward with their swords. Beirus raises his hands...before saying, "How predictable. You fool, we could have both lived.", at which he claps his hands together and tries to do the unthinkable...transmute the Philosopher's Stone. [7+2] None of the now enemies of Beirus can attack as light suddenly engulfs the room. Aswell and the Archangels feel nothing, but everyone else feels their bodies begin contorting. Beirus knows for a fact that if he transmutes the entire tectonic plate, he'll transmute most of Africa, but if he wants TCM dead, then that's necessary. As he transmutes, the people try to escape, but they cannot escape fast enough. Cobra, Black Hornet, the Elite Force, The rest of the soldiers, and the citizens of many African countries begin to unravel, the last thing they see being a gate. TCM suddenly sees, at his feet, a transmutation circle under him with a light shining. Quickly realizing what's going on, he activates his semblance, and tries to escape. [-15 Aura. 6+2 v 8+2] TCM suddenly trips up due to the Alchemic power, his eyes quickly turning upwards to see red rose petals in the air. Due to the way a Philosopher's Stone is created, there isn't another second spent, and as he looks up, he looks at his fingers to see them begin to unravel. TCM stands up on feet that are starting to unravel as well, and for the first and last time in his life, TCM snaps. He begins screaming in pain, but also in rage, his thoughts turning to nothing but anger as he yells out. The last thing that TCM sees is his body parts Alchemically unraveling, before seeing red...

1.1 Billion People in Africa. 650 Million of those people unraveled Alchemically. Those 650 Million souls are now screaming eternally in a red space...Beirus watches inside his tectonic Transmutation Circle, making sure to do things in the same tectonic plate so as to not use Alkahestry. As he watches the spot on the ground in which he created the transmutation, he suddenly see a small red blob. After picking the blob up, it molds, shifts, and solidifies into a stone. Peering inside the stone, he sees millions and millions of souls screaming out in the red stone. Aswell walks towards Beirus, nervously asking, "W-why?". Beirus responds with silence, before pulling the Philosopher's Stone into his armor, putting it in his real pocket before walking to the staircase, climbing to the first step as he tries to find out what to do next.
Beirus has transmuted TCM, and most of the African population, into a Philosopher's Stone! Beirus gets not only a Philosopher's Stone, but also nabs:
Cinder's Weapon (RWBY) (http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Cinder%27s_Weapon): +Cinder's Weapon (Dust Blades/Dust Bow 3/3) (18 Arrows of Reserve Ammo + Dust (Arrow Crafting)) (Can morph between the two modes. The weapons are made out of Dust assisted Obsidian)

Trans Serbian Railway, Moscow, Russia
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

PirateJoe, unaware of the mass destruction that just took place, continues to take cover as he waits for the Sniper to fire again. Despite their injuries, the Sniper decides to fire again. Despite their left arm being near disabled, they still aim down the sight, having PirateJoe in their shaky scope. [6-2-2 v 1] Despite the injuries, a bullet still breaks through some weak metal and hits his prosthetic leg, weakly hitting the metal of the leg. In retaliation, PirateJoe tries to aim, but his lucky streak doesn't translate to a moving train. [10-2 v 4] PirateJoe can still hit them, however, and he hits them in the left leg, causing the Sniper to fall over.

The Sniper tries to get up, but is smart to realize that they will not hit Joe before he's out of the way if they keep taking shots, so they stand on their feet and walk off. On the radio, they hear the Informant and some emergency help to stop the train talk about TCM, and how they're waiting for his signal to stop the train. The Sniper waits as well, but they don't hear anything...
------------
BSN: I don't have a joke, because...just wow. TCM's dead, most of Africa is a Philosopher's Stone. I just...huh. Well, I'm excited to see what happens next, so let's go to the Character Sheets. I'm sure you'll just tell me if you want to Waitlist, TCM, because...just wow!

I fully expect the archangels to try to kill him and/or banish Beirus to hell, after all he just killed more people then Mao, more people then the biggest mass murdering fuck head in history. So congrats on that. Anyway i don't think i need my plan as much anymore since i think at this rate i will win by default, regardless i will still try my plan, hell i maybe will be able to fix everything. Also the ministry of right and wrong is going to have fun with you Beirus, Eiki Shiki is not amused.

Stay down and wait, soon i will be away from this place.

Post by: Person on July 13, 2016, 03:08:41 pm
Well, that just happened. Honestly, I feel like a transmutation of that scale should need more prep time. Like, in an anime or something that'd need the user to go out in person to create nodes or something (multiple circles to link to the greater one?) in all the right locations to actually draw the circle. Still, what happened happened. So, is the next game going to take place on the same earth? The ramifications could be interesting. Also that Operator plot got dropped pretty quickly eh? I suppose we asked for that though. Was somewhat interested, but not really all that invested in that side plot.

Edit: Plus, they always could have failed that roll I suppose. Roll a 1, you're a 1 person philosopher's stone now congrats.
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 13, 2016, 03:14:55 pm
@Person: Yeah, I suppose it could have taken longer, and in the 2003 anime, they did have to draw a circle around the town to do it, but what happened happened. And yes, the next match will of course be in the same continuity, and therefore on the same Earth. There wouldn't be the story spoiler in the OP if that was the case.

Also, I didn't drop the Operator or his plotline. It's only the first Chapter, so it's introducing the main NPCs, the world, and the concept. The Operator showed up here to give something interesting. He's not gone, he's just out of focus because we're still only in the first Chapter. He'll definitely show up at some point, I just can't say when.

Also, I'm very, deeply sorry if I seem argumentative and defensive, Person. You have good points, and I never try to invalidate anyone's points. I understand you're throwing your two cents and I'm sorry.

That last post got me thinking, and so I decided to type this: I'm sorry. I know, I know, I'm sorry is practically my catchphrase. It's what will be said whenever I make a mistake: I'm sorry. And I've made a few mistake-okay, a lot of mistakes. I shouldn't have revealed this or I shouldn't have done this, stuff like that. I'm not the best person, and after last post my thoughts got to me. Why would anyone want to play this, I thought and still think.

So, why? Why are you guys still waiting for next turn? Is it because I'm honest to God trying to improve? Is it the game itself, the mechanics and story? I'm not sure if I'm curious or need the reassurance that I'm doing something right, but if I can be honest, either one will help.

...To be honest, something as simple as "You re not a bad writer.", really helps. I guess, having calmed down a bit, I can say I'm better. To be honest, I have self-esteem issues, that make me think that everything I'll do ends up in failure. Something as simple as telling me that I'm not a bad writer helps. Ah, you guys don't want junk that's too personal, right? Anyway, looking back, I'm sure that while I made the fact that while I have plans clear, I'm now also sure that Person will understand and won't take it personally that he didn't know. I'm now sure that revealing things like the Cult of Jericho too early won't do much, since there's a bit I have planned.

After that wall of text: thank you. Even though only PirateJoe responded, I'm sure that the rest of you like this game too. I mean, if you didn't, you would probably have asked to leave or be taken off the waitlist at 42 rounds in. (By the way, insane!) So, thank you!

...What? You want me to say sorry for wasting people's time? In all honesty, sane GMs wouldn't dare make multiple posts about personal junk. I am not Sane.

No, you don't need to say sorry, besides i don't mind the personal stuff, and its not junk, its a part of who you are. Also you are a better writer then me and my mother is a damn author (even though I'm getting better at writing, i think). I can understand how you feel being nervous that people wont like your work and all that, i get that whenever i join a game with a character who's personality i have never done before and honestly its one of the things stopping me from making a secret agency forum game here. Long story short try not to be so hard on yourself, even though saying that rarely helps. (at least in my case.)

And as my last response before we can all go back to posting actions and being horrified I'd stoop to the level of turning Africa into a Philosopher's Stone, I must once again say thank you. You really are great, and I'll at least try not to be so hard on myself. I know my game will never reach the popularity of something like Einsteinian Roulette or Roll to Dodge Princess Celestia, but that doesn't mean it isn't good for what it is.

Now, how's about we get off of this rollercoaster, and get onto those spinning teacups, or whatever your local ride is that spins like that, I don't know...

((I enjoy the game too, if that counts for anything. Here's an action to get us back on track.))

Beirus remained silent for a few moments as he waited on the stairs, his shoulders occasionally shaking. One of the benefits of armor covering his body is that it prevented anyone from seeing the tears running down his face and even managed to muffle the sniffling a bit. He waited until he could keep his voice even before he spoke. "Aswell, I believe that God has been bound. You saw it back in Muqur, something was limiting His ability. I intend to free Him, and to do it I will need a tremendous amount of power. I fully intend to answer for every life I have taken when I am through, but for now I must continue on my path even if that means the world will only remember me as a monster. Go with the Archangels now, to the Vatican or wherever you think is safest. This is a cross I must bear on my own."

Get the teleporter working once I get outside and see Aswell and the Archangels off safely. If they insist on fighting me, trap them inside a room made of incredibly durable metal without exits, but with water, food, and air, by transmuting the light around them.

And with that, we have all the actions we need. I don't know if I should wait to see if TCM wants to waitlist before I type it up, but whether or not he wants to, I'll probably type it up today.

Also, Beirus, I don't want to take that narration as well as the dialogue for the turn, but it was that good. So I'm just gonna ask, and do some other stuff...yeah.

@Person: Alrighty, then. I'm glad you, and the others, are enjoying this so far. See you next Chapter!  :)

Chapter One: The Beginning
Match One: Deathmatch
Round 43: The Final Two
Parliament, Rwanda
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

Beirus remained silent for a few moments as he waited on the stairs, his shoulders occasionally shaking. One of the benefits of armor covering his body is that it prevented anyone from seeing the tears running down his face and even managed to muffle the sniffling a bit. He waited until he could keep his voice even before he spoke. "Aswell, I believe that God has been bound. You saw it back in Muqur, something was limiting His ability. I intend to free Him, and to do it I will need a tremendous amount of power. I fully intend to answer for every life I have taken when I am through, but for now I must continue on my path even if that means the world will only remember me as a monster. Go with the Archangels now, to the Vatican or wherever you think is safest. This is a cross I must bear on my own.". Job and Esther step forward, hands shakily grabbing their swords, before being stopped by Josiah and Aswell. While Josiah is calm and seems very convinced that Beirus is a monster, Aswell is very obviously crying, his bitter tears making streaks on his cheek. When Beirus turns around, Aswell says, his words shaking as much as his hands, which are nervously clasped together. "I know that God will forgive you, and his judgement will be just. I don't agree with what you did, but by stopping this battle, so much will be saved. Sure, you just ended millions, but it wasn't billions. It wasn't the world. I may never be able to personally forgive you, but I still want you to stop this before any more lives end.", to which Beirus nods. Job, Esther, and Josiah grab Aswell, and fly out of the chamber, presumably to go to the Vatican. Beirus tries his hand at Alchemy, making sure to use the Philosopher's Stone for some extra edge. [9+2+2] He manages to get it working through this method: Through both Alkahestry, and the Alchemic boosting power of the Philosopher's Stone, he's able to place a beacon in the world, and transmute his molecular matter through space to do it. In creating this, he's become more powerful then any Alchemist in Fullmetal Alchemist, as they couldn't teleport, especially not like this. Thus, Beirus is the most powerful Alchemist to ever exist. With this new device in hand, Beirus climbs up the stairs, before looking at the now barren land of Rwanda. He looks up to see 3 pairs of wings, with one normal man in the middle. With tears still falling, Beirus looks at his device before making some quick decisions, ready for his last redemption...

Trans Serbian Railway
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

Despite seeing the Sniper walk away from the battle, PirateJoe is still cautious. Since this battle began, he's been shot, mutilated, and thrown around like a ragdoll. So, therefore, PirateJoe stays down. The driver states that despite the gunfire, that the train will still make it to station within the next 15 minutes. (Next turn)


While Beirus looks at the device, he swears he hears a voice in the back of his head, that's...laughing? Oh no. "So many dead people, and you just used some of them to power a device. I wouldn't be surprised if Hell just kicked you out. Could be worse, of course. You could have sent Africa to full genocide.". Beirus looks around, asking who said that. The voice then says, "Me. The second member of the Triad. The Operator? I would have talked to you earlier, but observing's just so much fun.", leading to Beirus shaking his head in half-fear, half-disbelief. Beirus continues to consider his options, all the while asking questions to himself...
-------------
BSN: The only news that's even in a forum game, let alone is a constant thing.

Just wanted to say thanks again for you guys supporting this game! I'm really glad this is an actual thing. Now then, I didn't plan the Operator's appearance because of Person saying that I dropped the plot. I actually wanted him to show up after Africa got Philosopher's Stone'd, purely because that sort of thing is deliciously evil for the Operator's character, at least before I establish his character a bit more. That's all, take your sheets, look over them thoroughly, and then eat them. They're nutritious.

Also, Beirus, if you didn't want me to use the Philosopher's Stone, then I'm sorry, but it did give a +2, so it's sort of a toss up between an addition and morality. Interesting, eh?

@Beirus: Since I don't know whether or not you wanted to use the Stone, then if you want, I can alter the turn and the Operator's dialogue. If you want me to, that is. If you're fine with using the Stone this turn, then that's fine too.

((Nah, that's fine. The teleporter probably wouldn't be as strong if I only got an 11. And since my armor has that tracker too, that should make this round end quickly.))

"The who? What Triad? Who are the other two members? And most importantly, why do I give a flying fuck?" Beirus' tone is even and empty as he speaks. He has already decided on his course of action, and he doesn't have the time to waste with petty distractions.

Track PirateJoe through my armor systems. If I need to, use my Alkahestry to help. Then teleport to him. Transmute him to dust. Use the Stone for any of the above that it can be applied to.

Round 44: The Disgraced Alchemist
Parliament, Rwanda
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

Beirus looks forward, the tears ceasing to fall as he formulates his response. Beirus responds to the voice with rightful questions, as he can't be bothered with this. "The who? What Triad? Who are the other two members? And most importantly, why do I give a flying fuck?", he asks, waiting a few seconds for the voice to respond. Finally, the Operator says, "...Fair
enough. You didn't read Astrid's tell all, so you don't know, okay. The one time I boast and the person doesn't know. My plans are just starting, so I'll just leave you lot alone for the moment. Just...watch your back, human.
", before his voice disappears, the echoing words of the being giving Beirus a moment of quiet. Finally, Beirus figures out what he wants to kill PirateJoe. To do this, he combines his armor's tracker and Alkahestry to track PirateJoe. [8+2+2] Beirus immediately tracks PirateJoe to a boat on the way to Japan. With all of his extra power, he also knows where exactly Joe is on the boat and so, he attempts to use his Teleporter to pay PirateJoe a beating, er, a visit...it's a beating. [10+2+2] Beirus immediately transports himself there, no time wasted as he sees PirateJoe right in front of him...

Vladivostok, Russia
Mid Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

The train of the Trans Serbian Railway pulls into a station in Vladivostok, many people rushing out as they run to the station. One person, the Wiki-Warrior PirateJoe, steps off relatively calmly. He dusts off his outfit before stepping into town, asking around for a boat to Japan. [7] He finds a small-medium trading boat between Vladivostok and Sendai, Miyagi, Japan. He tries to convince the men and women on the boat to let him go with them to Sendai, so he can grab transport to the Yatsugatake Mountains, to do...something. [8] They allow him to come aboard, and they take off at that moment, as PirateJoe caught them while they were loading up. As they leave, PirateJoe swears he can hear something in the air, but he dismisses it. While on the water, however, the buzzing sound in his ear begins to bother him. Finally, an Alchemic flash of light hits behind him, and, not knowing what that was, he slowly turns around to find someone who looks like Alphonse Elric with what looks like tear stains at the bottom of his helmet. Before PirateJoe can say anything, though, Beirus claps his hands together and tries to touch PirateJoe. [9+2+2 v 4] PirateJoe gets his outfit gripped by Beirus, and he seems confused until lighting bursts from his chest! As he looks in horror, he looks at his left hand to see his hand begin to turn to dust. Due to Beirus's power and grip, PirateJoe gets one opportunity to escape before he gets transmuted and dies, and even then, his attempt to escape will be hindered. [4+2+2 v 8-2] Even though PirateJoe is close to escaping, his limbs begin to turn to dust and Beirus's Philosopher's Stone affected Alchemy is too strong. Even Beirus's grip is too strong. As the now red Alchemic Lightning dies out, PirateJoe's vision itself begins to turn to dust. As PirateJoe's body begins to walk backward, he stands in front of Beirus before saying, his words slightly muffled due to his throat turning to dust, "W-wow. I guess this is the end of me...w-was it w-worth it?", before falling over back first. As soon as PirateJoe hits the ground, however, he doesn't leave a corpse, but he turns immediately to dust as soon as he hits the ground, his clothes being the only real part of the man left. Wind blows some of the dust away as Beirus collapses to his knees and clutches his head into his hands...

Beirus has turned PirateJoe into dust! Beirus gets:
Nothing! Since he was the last opponent, he doesn't get an article!

----------------
BSN: Hello, I'm Well Hu- what? That joke's been done? Uh...

Well, that's the end of the first match! ...Or it would be, but Beirus doesn't hasn't gotten a wish yet! That's because he's getting an Epilogue round, one where he gets his options, which he'll need because I'm actually going to change the wishes slightly to something I like better, and a part two where the wish gets granted! After the part two of the 1st Finale, I'm going to ask you guys a question about what I should do in between, but don't answer yet, because it's not here yet!

...I feel like I'm forgetting something...Oh, right, PirateJoe. You know what, just gonna ask. Do you want to waitlist, because like everyone here, I would be very happy to!

@PirateJoe: It could have, so long as I rolled good to any negotiation you wanted. I didn't get to roll at all, though, because you got Py-...spoilers. You got spoilers'd.

EDIT: Note taken. RPing as yourself is perfectly fine. Thanks for telling me.

((So, here's the thing. IC, you go for that rage all you want. IC, my character probably won't care since you signed up for the same thing he did and should have known the risks. OOC, you keep that shit to yourself. It's a game, and I refuse to serve as an outlet for your anger just because you didn't get the rolls you wanted. We will have a problem if you cross that line and insult me personally.))

@Beirus: Well said. Plus, he can't have IC rage anyway, since said character is not only dead, but disintegrated. Now that you've seen the turn, I'll type up the Epilogue turn(s) soon.

@PirateJoe: I hope you don't hate me for this, but yeah, OOC rage is a no no, no matter the catalyst. This is meant to be fun...I think, and people being mad at another player because some virtual dice didn't say they could live isn't good. It just isn't.

Chapter One: The Beginning
Match One: Deathmatch
1st Finale: Part One
A Cargo Boat Near Japan
Late Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

Beirus holds his head in his hands, the weight of the entire conflict, as well as his actions in regards to Africa bearing down on him. He is, however, not crying. He barely feels anything other than regret, not somber regret, but simply regret...

*Music! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSNKGcqf2YY)*

Suddenly, he hears helicopter rotors. As he looks up, he sees a helicopter pass overhead before landing at a dock in front of the boat. The Boat docks, and Beirus walks off, his armor weighing as much as his sins as his steps grow ever heavier. He walks out to see two people next to the Helicopter, one of whom is still in the Chopper. The one outside of the Helicopter is wearing a black hoodie over a black long sleeved shirt, with dark pants and what looks like boots. The only parts of skin visible is his face and his hands. He has dark blue eyes, and his palms are marked by purple runes. His skin is pale, bone white almost, though he does have an average build. Beirus guesses he's 6 foot even, and can vaguely see black hair. The man inside of the Helicopter is slightly taller, Beirus guessing he's 6"2', and is much slimmer, almost skinny. While his skin is darker than the first man's, he is still pale. He has shoulder length brown hair, and he has hazel eyes. He is wearing a suit with a red tie, and he has a pocket in the suit containing a bloody white rag. He has a very concerning grin on his face, which is not the smile of a sane man. "Oh! 'Sup. It's me, Jess Warner. I, you know, sort of put this together.", says the man in the helicopter, identifying himself. Beirus guesses that the second man is Jaws, or Logan Sawyer, in that case. "Hello. Nice to know you're cordial.", Beirus responds. Jess then says, "Yeah, I'm usually a lot more violent...and murderous...", to which Jaws responds with, "And cannibalistic.", to which Jess responds with, "I'm actually trying to work past that. Regardless, you've won! Or rather, survived. In this case, Jaws'll do the thing.". At this point, Jaws then steps forward, and the world seems to freeze around them, before darkness takes over the surrounding area. Jess then activates the runes on his palms, casting a spell that brings 4 floating orbs in front of them. Jaws then says to Beirus, "Alright. Since you won, and we've changed things, you have four options. You can either use a wish to affect the next match, so you can call a lightning storm on someone, or affect the next kind of contest, so if you want them to fight a "Boss", you can, or you can say that all Articles for next contest be from a specific wiki. Second is that you can say what the next location is, so if you want them to fight on Alcatraz or the Forest Moon of Endor, you can. Third is being able to carry over one or two articles for your next contest, which will only happen if you want to fight again. Fourth is being able to "fudge" our random Articles to get a near specific result. If you must know, I'm the better of us two, so just be thankful Ja-er, Jess doesn't have my powers. Also, if you do want to wish something up, it doesn't have to be for the match, it can just affect the world. So, which will it be?". Beirus looks down to the ground, the darkness around them making the ground at the dock look "off", as he thinks of what he will do now that he's the victor...
-----------
Why did I link to Omen in the Sky? Consider it our antagonists' theme, and therefore, this game's theme. ...Yes, I gave Jess, Logan, and even Veronica (and possibly the Operator, though he hasn't done much...yet.) a theme song. The Boss Battles will have themes too, so...yeah.

((I'm gonna have to think this over. I'm torn between a wish for all souls on this planet not directly competing in the Wiki Wars (like the souls of all the people I transmuted) to be sent somewhere safe to live out an eternity free of being caught in the crossfire of the Wars, or taking the fourth option and choosing something from a very special Wiki. Or choosing the category for the next round and making it Pokemon.))
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 16, 2016, 11:32:01 pm
@Beirus: What exactly do you mean by category? Do you mean a wish for all articles to be Pokemon? Just making sure, though if you don't choose that, it may be moot.

Also, I'm perfectly fine with the wish for everyone not affiliated with the Wiki War to be sent somewhere. Really, I am. But, because my mind is weird, it got me thinking. If you look back to the Flash Forward on the OP, I (well, Jess, but this is OOC) implied they were pulling people out of the normal population. With that probability, anyone could be involved. And if anyone could be involved, then does that mean they are involved, via technicality? So, would the wish work, or do nothing?

...disregard, my mind is weird. I'm sure it'll be fine.

((All articles would come from Bulb a Pedia was what I was getting at.))

((Also, since this apocalypse is pre-determined, you could say that the people who would be pulled from the population have been, are, and will be involved already, which would mean they are separate from the category of people (everyone else) covered by the wish.))

Post by: Greatness942 on July 16, 2016, 11:46:28 pm
So, essentially, all waitlisters will stay on Earth? Nifty...no one says that anymore.

I'm still totally fine with whichever wish you pick. When you GM, you have no real bias. Well, you do, but this is isn't one of the times where you can be biased.

Also, Bulbapedia is what I was thinking, just wanted to clear that up.

Also, while it is predetermined, it is a flash forward. Then again, given who our antagonists are at the moment, you could say what you said about them already being involved, so once again, disregard.

Still, both of those require knowledge I don't have IC. I'll think my other options over for a bit, and then I'll let you know which one I choose. Oh wait, what if I wish to have the 3 wishes that can be granted by the Namekian version of Shenron whose name I can't remember. Then I could have three more rule free wishes.

Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 17, 2016, 12:18:40 am
@Beirus: His name was Porunga. The Namekian dragon's name was Porunga. And while you could bring Porunga in, I'm not sure a simple wish could bring him, since you would need the Namekian Dragon Balls. You could wish for the Dragon Balls, but unless the 10 players of next match find said balls, Porunga would only have 3 wishes.

Otherwise, it sounds like a plan! See you tomorrow for your choice, unless you pick in the next 10 minutes!

@PirateJoe: Would be a foolproof plan, except your character is dead, and not in the Philosopher's Stone, where I'm sure the souls are no longer sentient enough to use that info. Now I know what you're thinking, "then how am I in the next match?", well, I have a plan for that...

((Greatness beat me to it, but I'd also like to point out that the PirateJoe I killed never obtained information of my mass genocide before he died, either, so even if he got his previous memories back, he still wouldn't know. The only surviving witnesses were Aswell and the Archangels.))

((Hey Greatness, what if I wished for Porunga to appear and grant me three wishes (or just for the Dragon Balls to summon him), then used the first wish for the soul saving thing, the second wish for a spot in next round if I don't have one, and the third wish for one of my starting Articles to be Aether Manipulation or Primordial Dragon Embodiment from the Super Powers Wiki?))

That could work. I will only allow Shenron and his chums this once, though. Don't want everyone just wishing for all powerful dragons all the time, right? Besides, in game, there may be someone or something that could stop an outside force like that. I'm the GM, so I may know, but you can only assume...heh heh.

Also, I wonder if I should PM TCM and let him know he's dead...which is an odd thing to say if you think about it. Then again, I did say to eat your character sheets, so it's pretty clear that I'm pretty weird.

((That works for a rough draft of my plan, then. Besides, if something could interfere with God (supposedly), I don't doubt they could interfere with Porunga. I'd just hope they wouldm't, since it seems like an efficient and novel way to use my wish. If I do already have a spot in the next round, though, I'd rather use my second wish to wish that the generated articles for next round are taken from Bulbapedia, and my third wish to get myself that Aether Manipulation or Primordial Dragon Embodiment article.))
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 17, 2016, 01:58:12 am
Well, technically, you can't have a spot next match, since there is 10 waitlisters, so 10 players. If you want to be placed on the Waitlist, you can re-join in Chapter 3. Technically, that is a spot in a future match, just not Chapter 2.

Post by: Beirus on July 17, 2016, 02:43:15 am
((Alright, I think I have it now. Also, when I was looking up articles to get, I found something really interesting on the Aether Embodiment page. Specifically, the character it uses as the example of Aether Embodiment. Which would also explain how this unknown being could affect God and Porunga. Although I could be completely off, I think that's the one I want.))

Wish for the Namekian Dragon Porunga to appear to grant me his wishes. Or for the Namekian Dragon Balls. However it needs to be worded to get those wishes. Then for my three wishes: I wish for the souls of everyone not directly competing in the Wiki Wars, including those in the Philosopher's Stone and my teleporter, to be sent somewhere safe where they can live out eternity in happiness, safe from the consequences of the Wiki Wars. My second wish is to have the Aether Embodiment article from the Superpowers wiki for my next contest. My third wish is to be kept safe from harm until my next contest while still retaining my self and agency.

If any of that hopefully works, then go with Jess and Jaws to watch the next round. Maybe chat it up a bit, get to know them. Oh, and see if I can be a guest commentator.

1. if there is a will there is a way.
2. I'm quite sure i would get my memory's back, it would be confusing otherwise.
3. You are wrong about the only witnesses, the operator knows as well and by extension, Jaws and Jess probably know too.

Chapter One: The Beginning
Match One: Deathmatch
1st Finale: Part Two
A Dock in Sendai, Japan
Late Morning, Clear Skies, Date: 7/19/2016

In the darkness, one finds that their thoughts penetrate their own mental barriers. In darkness, minds wander and no one knows where they shall go. Beirus has found his answer to Logan's question, his wish after a battle of what seemed like months, yet was a time that could barely be considered a day. "I wish for another wish granter. Give me the Namekian Dragon Balls, so that I may call upon the powers of Porunga, the Namekian Dragon!", says the victorious Wiki-Warrior, to which Jaws freezes for a second. He then responds with, "Alright, but this sort of thing can only be done once. I mean, think about it, there could be someone,", to which the darkness seems to turn in on itself before suddenly turning into thousands upon thousands of eyes, with dark purple pupils and more average purple irises. "who could be watching. And that someone might be able to prevent this. I mean, think about it.", Jaws continues, the eyes turning back into Darkness as Jaws pulls out one of the magic orbs before crushing it in his hands. The darkness dissipates as time around them continues. As Beirus looks down, he sees 7 large, orange orbs with varying amounts of stars per orb. Jess, still with a sick grin on his face, looks down to see the Dragon Balls. He drops his grin to a more healthy level and arches his eyebrow, obviously unsure of what just happened. Beirus brings them closer together before summoning the dragon. The sky turns dark as light comes from the Dragon Balls, before a large reptilian creature emerges from them. Porunga then asks Beirus of his wishes. Beirus responds to Porunga's question with, "My first wish is for all the souls not competing in the Wiki-Wars to be sent somewhere where they can be safe!", but Porunga ponders this, Jaws and Jess whispering to eachother as though they just heard a paradox. Porunga says that this wish can be granted. Porunga says that the Earth will be empty, but while Jess flips off Porunga, Jaws and Beirus seems relieved. Porunga says that he'll grant this wish, and Beirus can faintly hear Jess ask how a Catholic Alchemist knows fluent Namekian, but he brushes it off. Porunga then grants the first wish, and Beirus's Philosopher's Stone falls to the ground before it breaks, and disappears in red dust. The citizens in the shop begin glowing a magnificent yellow, before suddenly disappearing. Jess and Jaws remain, and after some quick phone calls, it seems that only a few people are left. Porunga then asks for the second wish, to which Beirus says, "For my second wish, I want to have the article of Aether Embodiment, the power of manipulating the Aether, as an article during my next contest!. Porunga then grants the wish, and Beirus can feel the power to create and destroy in his hands. Jess holds a hand up, and says, "He's still, uh, mortal right? 'Cause if he's not, then someone might be a bit...perturbed.", the end of the sentence punctuated by what sounds like millions of voices laughing, and millions more voices crying, before all of the voices quiet down. Porunga then responds by confirming that Beirus is still mortal, he just has a gift now. Beirus then finally says, "For my final wish, great dragon, I wish to be kept from harm until my next contest, while also keeping my current identity, meaning all my current articles as well!", to which Jaws says, "That's simply not an opt-", only for Porunga to confirm that the wish shall be granted, Jaws' only response being, "Oh, shut up, dragon.". Beirus sees that everything is the same, and Porunga confirms that it has been granted. Porunga disappears into the Dragon Balls, which fly up to the sky. Before they can scatter, however, darkness retakes everything. It quickly dissipates, but when it does, the Dragon Balls are gone. Beirus sees Jess and Jaws about to leave, and asks to watch the match. Jess begins protesting, but Jaws says, "Of course. If you want to join us, I'd be happy. Not sure about this guy, but you joining us would help with the no harm thing. You can even co-commentate, if you want.", to which Jess just sighs before opening the Helicopter door. In a threatening motion, as Beirus walks into the chopper, he sees Jess checking the ammo on his 44. Magnum Revolver, before climbing into the seat next to Jaws. The Helicopter flies off, and Beirus becomes aware that this is only the beginning...
--------------
And the first match is officially done!

Now, what was the thing I wanted to ask? Well, I had the idea of an intermission chapter. Basically, it would be a little story chronicling a story of a character. It would give background, personality, and humanity to our antagonists, for example.

Pro(s): It would give context to Jess and company, and it would give intrigue and interest into our characters.

Con(s): It might take away the mysterious and enigmatic approach, and it would take the next chapter slightly longer to start up.

So, yeah, should I have an intermission chapter? I personally think I should. I should do a poll, yes, but a poll has a maximum day thing, and I don't think you guys can get answers in on time, if that makes sense. So I'll just wait for replies to make it more simple, so, yeah...

Post by: Greatness942 on July 18, 2016, 12:59:21 pm
Okay, I'm that case, I feel like I should go into better detail. Let me put it this way. It wouldn't be a chapter, per say. Rather, it'd be a post that would divided up into two spoilers. There would be a spoiler marked "Past", where we get some background and story for the characters. Then, there would be a Spoiler marked "Present", which would be set directly after the Finale of a Chapter, but before the Round 0 of the next Chapter. Now that I've made the distinction, how does the idea sound?

...Why yes. I can't explain things well. Did you just notice, or...

((Double posted, because I decided to start a poll about intermissions. Yes, I know that by closing it in two days, it'll take too long, and interest will wain. Yes, I know this probably isn't something to start a poll over, and I should just do it. I know, and I'm sorry. (50!) It's just, this is something that will come after every chapter, and I don't want you guys to, well, not want that. So, sorry, (51!) but I feel it's necessary, at least for people to be happy.))

EDIT: Because I started worrying, (because I'm me, and I don't hate it, per say) I voted "Why ask?". I guess it's not really important, but I am me, and I'm sorry for that. (52. Should I keep counting these? Let's start a poll, even though everyone probably just wants me to stop worrying about other people's permission and just do what I want! ...Wait a minute.)

EDIT2: Should I lock the voting? I mean, 2 of you guys want it completely, and the other two want it because I should just do it instead of being a worrywart about basically nothing. So, I may just lock the voting tomorrow, and then post the first intermission also tomorrow. So, yeah.

The Operator's First Rise
A Small Town near Las Vegas, Nevada
Early Afternoon, Cloudy, 2/23/1992

Doctor Bolton returns home after a long day, sweat upon his brow as he walked through the door. Seeing the lights off, he chuckles a bit. His son must be out at his job. The Doctor tries the light switch, but instead of turning the lights on, it instead makes everything darker. More and more times he tries the light switch, only for the room to get so dark, it begins to suck the light out of the outside world. As the Doctor looks to the darkness, he freaks out upon seeing, in the darkness, a pair of eyes. The eyes have a very dark purple as the pupils and a slightly more average purple as the irises. The Doctor looks into the eyes for around 3 seconds before another pair of eyes appears, with the same coloration as the first pair. More and more pairs of eyes appear, until the darkness is filled with them. Doctor Bolton begins screaming out in fear, before he sees...something. It seems to be a purple, skeletal approximation of a human being. The Being puts their hands upon the top of their head and their chin. Bolton tries to walk away, but finds his feet planted firmly on the ground, with his hands upon his head and chin. Bolton tries to scream, but his scream is silenced by a snapping sound as the Being twists it's neck around. Bolton's body crashes to the ground disgracefully. The eyes and the Being grow closer to the corpse, before they all seem to disappear into his body. His corpse rises back up, his sclerae, or the whites in his eyes, turning pitch black, and his eyes turning the same colors as the eyes that attacked him...or rather, as the things now inhabiting the dead man. Looking in the mirror, the creatures see the Good Doctor as having slightly spiky, yet kind of short hair. He, at least now, has grey skin. He is wearing a black T-Shirt and khaki pants, while wearing a Lab Coat with a nametag. The Creatures scrape his name off of the name tag, and replace it with a simple word, it's origins of choosing it lost to time itself..."Operator". The newly dubbed Operator exits the house, and sees a neighboring one. With a simple incantation and a wave of his hands, the house suddenly catches fire, the smell of burning wood filling Bolton's nostrils. As he hears screaming, he walks off, torching more and more houses until the Neighborhood is completely torched. In the distance, the Operator sees a large figure and walks towards it. He sees it as a large, armored figure. His armor is black, his horned helmet gleaming off the sunlight. He has deep red eyes that seem to not only glow, but also trail whenever he turns his head. The Operator tries to use his magic, but is stopped by the figure grabbing Bolton's neck, the Operator not feeling fear. What does get the assault to stop is the Figure saying, "Try to kill me all you like, just don't keep trying when it doesn't work. Send as many souls as you like, just don't send any you want back.", the Operator getting what he's saying. As the Figure let's the Operator go, he continues. "My name...is lost. I call myself Jericho, for I have fallen like the great city of legend. My quest is simple. All I can say is that it involves the demon Legion, and all you need to know is that he's cursed me with the stench of death and pain. I need your assistance with my plans, your power will grant me my revenge, in whichever way I see fit.. The Operator says, "And why should I? And why should we?, to which Jericho merely responds with, "Because all of you, no matter how strong, is more mortal then I am at this point.". The Operator raises his eyebrows, before shrugging with a "Why not? Where to, next?". Jericho responded by saying that they needed to walk the Earth, to bide time before they find the last one they need to complete their operations, a being known as Exodus. The Operator agrees, but then says, "Sounds fun. But you gotta let me have my own fun while we do this.", letting a purple flame loose in his hand, before quickly crushing it as surroundings get enveloped in darkness yet again...

Yeah, triple post! Someone, get me an achievement!

Anyway, this was the intermission, just a post containing lore. Was it what you were expecting? Probably not, but that's my fault, because I can't explain anything. Anyway, I'll just lock down the voting and listen to you guys. How was this? I wanted to make it good, which is why it was so long. Yes, that means no one can vote on the poll, but hindsight has told me that the poll probably wasn't the best idea. So, any critiques? Any suggestions?

...*sigh* Round 0 later today, so stay tuned for that.


EDIT: I'm sorry, guys. I acted ridiculous over something I shouldn't have. I started a poll that didn't need to be started, and I made a joke over the fact that no one's posted. I don't know why you guys put up with me. I'm glad you do, of course. It's just...I'm sorry. And no, I'm not posting the counter gag until Chapter 2 starts. This is a serious apology for my personality itself, and I'm sorry.

@Elephant Parade: I'll waitlist you. Just so you're aware, since we already have 10 waitlisters, you'll be in at Chapter 3, which is where Beirus will be.

@Everyone: Now that I'm out of my self pitying funk in regards to the poll, (I'm now the Vince Russo of forum games, so many swerves) then I can confirm that Chapter 2's Round 0 will come tonight. Nothing definitive, but you should see it by around 9:00 AM tomorrow, if not earlier.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Boss Battles
Round 0: A Bad Feeling About This
Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Noon, Cloudy, 42 Months ABY

After Beirus, Jess Warner, and Logan Sawyer left on the Chopper, they went to the W.I.P. Offices in Osaka, Japan. The air was crisp and quiet as they landed. Upon landing, they went inside of Jess's Office, not in silence, but making very light conversation. Upon entering, they saw 4 figures. One was Veronica Sawyer, and she was merely texting until Logan ran up and hugged her from behind, the both of them reuniting. Jess walked in, only for Veronica to walk up and slap him. Beirus walked into the room, and was able to hear the conversation. "Ow! Why did you-", "You stood me up!", "Like three years ago! Besides, I said I may not have been able to go to dinner, since I was just there for va-", "You're gonna make it up to me!", "Oh, I'm perfectly alright with that.", "She's angry, he actually likes her enough to not stab her for slapping him, though that could be because her brother is in the room, all is well.". At the familiar voice, all of them look up to see the Operator sitting down in Jess's chair, to his right is a large armored figure, and to his left is a new entity. They are completely hidden under a white hood with has wrapped around them, their arms still free. The only skin that's able to be seen are his hands, which are red and scaly. There are some holes in the scales, however, revealing a black inky substance. What's interesting, at least to everyone not currently named Beirus, as he has no idea what's going on, The Operator is no longer shrouded in darkness, but is rather in Doctor Bolton's body, with the spiked hair, grey skin, eyes, and outfit he had in 1992. Jaws, as though all of this is normal, merely responds with, "Hold on, you dated my sister?". Veronica turns to her older brother and replies with, "We met at the Psychiatry Office, back home. We hit it off, but then, he had to leave, because, and I quote, "his plane had to leave tomorrow."", to which Jess indignantly responds, "It did! Look, I'm sorry. How's about, after the next "contest", I can cook something up.", Veronica turning to him and thinks about it for what was probably 5 minutes before quickly nodding. The Armored Figure, or Jericho himself as everyone not named Beirus would know him, sighed before pointing to a computer...that the Operator was using. The Operator says, "While you humans were doing what you do best: dying, I took the liberty of making the next contest.". Jaws walks over, and raises his eyebrows while whistling, as though he just saw a celebrity in a bikini, or Jess's bank account. Jess raises an eyebrow, but before he can ask, the Operator says, "Get into your helicopter.". Logan responds with saying he needs to create the next contest, but the Operator doesn't move. Finally, Logan leads the other 3 humans to the chopper, but once it gets up in the air, a large purple eyeball appears before exploding into a large, purple tear in the fabric of space-time.  The Helicopter gets sucked in, and everyone falls unconscious...
------------
The 4 humans, plus the Pilot who was still on Earth for whatever reason, woke up to the Helicopter in flight. Looking out the window, Jess is starstruck to find a snowy plane. Getting a message on his PDA, Jess looks out at the right time to see 10 people in a circle, just waking up with several weapons at their disposal. Reading through his PDA, Jess gets the information he needs to brief the Wiki-Warriors in front of him. "Hello, prospective meat shields. I am Jess Warner, of the Warner Industrial Program. You have been sent here to eliminate High Profile Targets here on Planet Hoth. You ten have 5 Targets to eliminate somewhere in the thick of that laser light show over in that direction. Four of them are members of the 501st Legion, also known as Vader's Fist. Your fifth target, is the guy with the fist. You know who I mean, let's admit it. Upon killing Vader and his Fist, we four will pick you up, or at least pick the survivors up. Me, my friend Logan here, my, uh...romantic based friend Veronica, and Beirus will watch you. Good luck.", to which the ten look to the horizon, quickly spotting a large battle far off, yet relatively close to their position. This will be difficult...
-----------
BSN: The only dealer that tells you to fu-what? That's not who we are? Huh.

So, before we begin, I must say that this map and opponent weren't randomized. When I had the idea for Boss Battles, I specifically thought of fighting Darth Vader on Hoth for whatever reason. All future Boss Battles will at least have the map randomized. With that said, enjoy.

I'm also adding Voice Colors. You guys can type dialogue as you wish, of course. These colors will be used by me to denote dialogue between characters. I'm also adding Gender and Nationality, for no real reason other than the fact that not everyone is a Male American, or in one case Male Rwandan. First Article denotes Gender, second denotes Nationality.

IIRC, he was there to watch the Falcon escape at the end of battle. I presume he was still on planet for at least a couple of hours.

And yeah, protection from the cold's good. I presume either the Operator or Jaws gave you snowsuits, but even as GM, I don't know. I may roll an equipment check at the start of Round 1 to see if you do. Even if you don't, I'm pretty sure you guys could look for an abandoned Wampa cave.

I think I like this loadout. I think I like it a lot. The double shotguns are nice. I am deeply amused however, that I can turn into both moths and butterflies. You know, just in case one of those things is somehow situationally better for some reason. (Time to research dangerous bugs. Sidenote, does transforming drop all my stuff or do I take it with me.) So we're all on the same team right?

Edit: In any event, action time. If I don't have protection from the cold, aquire it. If I do, group up with the others.

"So, how should we go about this then?" *I glance at ATH's mecha.* "I'd recommend we get ourselves some vehicles, as our targets are probably spread out across the battlefield. Besides that, we're bound to be outnumbered out there and some heavy firepower would not be unwelcome."

I've found an entire family of moths(Zygaenidae) that produce hydrogen cyanide throughout their lifecycle, and can expel it as a defense mechanism. Unfortunately(unfortunate in terms of usability in game that is. It is probably a good thing irl that we don't have said data), there seems to be little data on the lethality of the dose. Best I can find seems to kill small birds, which isn't particularly menacing in a warfare setting. Maybe if I sneak in to a camp and poison their drinks? Might work. Vampire moths are kinda neat too though.

Edit: Oddly, it seems to be the caterpillar stage that generally has the most deadly poisons. I guess that kind of makes sense, but oh well.

Edit2: Well we ARE using other wikis. Volcarona (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Volcarona_(Pok%C3%A9mon))
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 21, 2016, 12:37:16 pm
@Person: BiggerFish kept all his stuff when he transformed, though that may be due to the fact that I didn't factor that in at the time. I may have to roll equipment checks, but I don't know. Also, while Volcorana is a moth, they are also a Pokemon. That means nothing, though, since BiggerFish could, and still can, turn into an Egyptian God, that just so happens to be a Beetle. Also, yes, all 10 of you are on the same team, co operating. The trade off, is that the Boss Battles are going to be against characters who can hold their own against people like you.

@BiggerFish: I would be very surprised if someone didn't sig Khepring Darth Vader in the face.
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Person on July 21, 2016, 01:04:55 pm
True. I'm not particularly expecting Volcarona to work, though it would be a nice form to have. Googling forms like this is almost certainly metagaming, and if was playing myself (albeit a british version of myself), then Volcarona is really the only good moth I know of. Khepri is probably more powerful anyway, and they're both fictional. One is just a much older fiction than the other. Whatever ruling you give I'm fine with it. I don't really take this stuff too seriously. I'm just the sort of person that debates power levels and questions like "would this work?", or "who would win" too much.

As to why these transformations are so common, that's because Wikipedia has a rather large amount of articles about beetles/moths/plants/etc that almost no one has really ever heard of, but that exist none the less, and thus they must be documented. It is a bit of a strong power(just transforming into that species of moth would be rather underwhelming), but early iterations of the wiki wars have often had alternative uses for such articles. One example is allowing the user summon a bunch of that creature/plant, which tended not to do much. Another allowed the character to change form into that one thing. One character had a bunch of preserved moths from the genus of the article. Most characters just got a bunch got knowledge on the subject(ex: moths) in general as an attribute. No doubt the method used in this game is the strongest, but is it too strong? Probably not. Is it a bit dull? Maybe a little. Better than another probably useless article? Almost certainly.
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on July 21, 2016, 02:18:18 pm
@Person: I think I got the gist of it. If someone else gets a month/beetle/butterfly/whatever article, I'll try to vary it up. Think The Pain (http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/The_Pain) from MGS3 for example. I'll also try to make variations of any article. For example, if someone gets a gun article, they may get a bonus to repairing guns.

...EDIT: Okay, I may have missed a bit of the point, but I understand what you're getting at. Like I said, Volarona is technically a moth, so it's possible. I'm just saying that it's not really a moth in much the same way Khepri isn't really a Beetle, but the technicality let him do it.

Anyway, at like 7:00 PM, my time, I think I'll go ahead and PM those who haven't posted. Just as a reminder, since I'll be typing the turn up sometime tomorrow...or the day after. With me, it's actually pretty difficult to guess.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Boss Battles
Round 1: Scouting the Frozen Wastes
Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Noon, Cloudy, 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

After that briefing from Jess Warner, the Wiki Warriors stand there, bewildered. Did he just say...what they think he just said? Yes, yes he did. After a silence of a minute or two, BiggerFish speaks up first, his tone of voice unsure of itself. "Wait. Was Vader actually on Hoth?", he says to Jess Warner, before getting a simple response from Logan, "Yep. He saw the Falcon leave at the end of the battle.". BiggerFish nods, before a shiver takes over his body. He can then hear Jaws slap himself in the face, before asking if they have snowsuits. [Equipment Check 9] Without another word said, a purple light envelops the inside of the Helicopter, before a side door opens up, and a crate disgracefully drops onto the snow. Inside are around 9 Snowsuits. All except Hawk put out a Snowsuit, Hawk not needing to due to his Robe. BiggerFish throws on the Snowsuit, and he feels quite satisfied with the warmth. BiggerFish walks back to the group, who are asking questions about the situation.

PirateJoe holds up a hand before walking forward, his brow furrowed into what seems like frustrated confusion. He walks forward, before saying, "So wait, you're telling me we're NOT supposed to kill each other, and instead have to kill Darth Vader?", the only reaction from the 4 being murmurs of agreement and affirmation. PirateJoe's only reaction being to sigh, before walking back. He tells the group to follow him when they're ready, before walking over to the firefight. ...At the battle at Echo Base, PirateJoe arrives on top of a cliff, close to the Ion Cannon. He looks down at the large cluster of plasma fire, looking to the large AT-ATs still walking to the base as hordes of Stormtroopers rush Echo Base down. At this, PirateJoe tries to locate any of the members of the 501st, or even Vader himself. [3-2-2(Chaos & Not Knowing the Appearence of the 501st)] The sheer amount of Blaster fire actually temporarily blinds him! As he rubs his eyes, he realizes he didn't ask or stick around to see what the members of Vader's Fist actually look like. His allies will tell him, however, so he merely crouches down and waits.

NRDL nods, the snow crunching under his feet as he ponders this. Finally, he looks up and says, "Hm, so no immediate conflict then. That's fine. Always wanted to fight Vader. Kinda.", with a smile on his face. He would have looked for warmth, but then the crate fell containing the snowsuit. Putting on the combination Jacket, Gloves, and other assorted clothing items, NRDL nods his head before walking to the group, keeping his Armor strapped to his back as he makes light conversation with his new allies.

Person groups up with the team, same as everyone else as they gather to discuss strategy. Unlike everyone else, however, Person explicitly formulates a plan. "So, how should we go about this then?", he says, before glancing to Abstract's MEKA and then quickly continuing with, "I'd recommend we get ourselves some vehicles, as our targets are probably spread out across the battlefield. Besides that, we're bound to be outnumbered out there and some heavy firepower would not be unwelcome.", the rest of the group agreeing as they look out to the distance, where PirateJoe ran off to.

Abstract pilots his MEKA forward, his brow furrowed slightly as the hulking mech crushes the snow underneath it's feet. He then says, "Yeah, me and everyone else need details. We know who Darth Vader is, but who are the 501st Legion? What do they look like, and what is it, exactly, that we're going to try to accomplish?", leading to the people inside the Helicopter to laugh slightly before Jess answers. "Well, the 501st Legion are a group of elite Clonetroopers, the only Clones in the Empire's employ. I'll get Jaws to show you the 5 members that you're going after. And if any of you are Star Wars buffs or Wookiepedia goers that knows the ins and outs of every member...it appears these 5 haven't been documented yet. Completely original, I'm surprised.", he says, and purple light once again envelops the inside of the Helicopter before the 9 Wiki-Warriors suddenly get a vision. It flashes between their eyes, showing them 5 respective people. They're all wearing modified Stormtrooper Armor. One has a Cycler Rifle, a Slugthrower, and is wearing Purple Snow Armor. One has what looks like Black Snow Armor, though what weapon they have isn't seen. One appears to have a Gatling Gun, and is wearing Red Snow Armor. One has dual blasters and is wearing Blue Snow Armor. Finally, there appears to be one trooper with Clone Trooper Armor, with red highlights on his helmet and shoulder armor. He has a "Slugthrower (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Slugthrower)", or a gun that fires bullets enveloped in plasma. His Slugthrower is a modified Imperial Pistol, and he appears to be some sort of Officer, due to also having a Vibroblade and Binoculars. After the visions play out, the Wiki-Warriors prepare themselves, before realizing that PirateJoe isn't here to see that.

DigitalDemon, after absorbing all that information, merely responds with, "Whu... What?.... Weird....". After waking up a bit more, he tries scouting around to see if he can find where PirateJoe went, and therefore where the battle is. [6+2 (Sounds)] After hearing the sounds of heavy blaster fire just south of the location they're at, Demon assumes that's where he went, and directs the attention of the Wiki-Warriors to that location. They acknowledge Demon, and thus continue planning.

Ukrainian Ranger, after also taking in the information, looks south. Knowing how the film goes, he knows that down south of their location, the Rebels are most likely dying, shot down one by one as Echo Base falls. In order to earn the trust of whoever's left down there, UR pulls out his radio, before cranking a dial to try and connect to the Rebel Alliance's communications. As the rest of the Wiki-Warriors get set up to follow Joe, UR waves them off, saying that he'll catch up.

Hawk, like Demon, begins his part of the journey via examination. What he's examining isn't the battle they're fighting, but rather the snowy hills the Wiki-Warriors currently reside at. [5] While it is a good examination of the Hills, there's nothing of value. No strategic landmarks, no ammo or weaponry dropped or left behind, not even any Tauntauns to ride into battle, or Wampas to kill. Hawk brushes stray dust and snow off of his robe before looking south.

((Auto'd)) Both Porkins and Ragenaut stay with the group, Ragenaut taking a bit of charge, priming her Energy Gun as she steps up. Porkins also steps up, clutching her soccerball as she waits for them to make any moves.

Beirus watches the Wiki-Warriors from the Helicopter, his Alphonse Elric based Alchemic Armor now off of the Disgraced Alchemist's body as he looks around. Beirus makes his own commentary, saying, "Ooh, Hoth. That's a pretty cool location. And it looks like a few of the competitors got bug shifting powers. I wonder how they'll deal with the freezing cold environment here.", before thinking for a moment, before turning his attention to his...friends? Acquaintances? Non-Enemy Enemies? Frenemies? He doesn't know how to describe Jess Warner, Logan Sawyer, and Veronica Sawyer. "You know, I've always wondered what Wampa tastes like. If I go kill one and grill it, would anyone else like some?", only to immediately get a resounding "YES!" from Logan. Veronica looks up from her phone, and says, "Eh, I don't know. Hey, if you find some good alcohol, I'm down.", and finally, Jess Warner, for the first time that Beirus has seen, doesn't put his grin on. He instead seems to be staring off into space, only lightly muttering as though whatever he heard sent him off. [8] Beirus can make out some words, but never a full sentence. He hears, "Mistake", "Father", "Hatred", and finally, "Why?". Veronica nudges his shoulder, and Jess turns to her. Veronica relays the question, and he says, "Sure. Wampa meat, why not.", before muttering, "I've eaten worse for lesser people."...

"Hm.  Specialised armour.  Isn't that convenient.  Odds are they're not alone, surrounded by contingents of men.  Piratejoe was headed the way of the battle, I'll join up with him.

Follow the rest of the warriors, specifically ATH, keeping my 1887 ready. Keep an eye out to look for our targets.

So are there ways to get new articles? Specifically, ways that aren't killing our team mates.

@Person: Well, I will award the player who kills the last boss the wish, as you know, but new articles? Hmm. Maybe the player who kills a boss gets a wish. There's 5 Vader's Fist members, plus Vader himself. That means 5 new articles, and the wish for the person who lands the final killing blow. Yeah, that sounds good.

Yep, sounds good. Was just curious since nothing had been mentioned. I'm quite happy with what I got. I figured the wish would go to whoever kills Vader.

Hey, guys. I know this isn't the next turn, but...well, you know how I say that It's always nice to improve? Well...

You see, after Ardent Debater jumped ship and vanished without telling me he wanted to leave, I got a bit...upset about it. So, I have something to ask, what should I do about players who are Idle for too many turns? No, I'm not saying no one can be idle, I'm asking what I should do for players who just stop without telling me. Should I enforce a turn limit for how long you can stay idle? Because that sounds unfair to people who have slow Internet, or a crap computer. I'm not at a loss, per say, but I'm not sure if my idea is the best idea. What do you guys think?

So, wait. Hypothetically, does that mean that Beirus would do two actions this match, (one for him and one for someone else), and Elephant does one? ...Pretty good system. I'll give them the build up for Round 3 before I replace them, if it comes to it.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Boss Battles/Elimination
Round 2: First Contact
Echo Base,  (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Noon, Cloudy, 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

A destroyed Shield Generator is the first structure that PirateJoe spots after clearing his eyes, the white snow around it covered in metal shrapnel as fire burns whatever's left. At this, PirateJoe swiftly remembers the film, and turns his head to see Echo Base itself. Instead of seeing Snowspeeders leaving the hanger and Rebel Soldiers sprinting out, Blasters in hand, he instead sees what seems to be a last bastion of defense. A fortified barricade covers the entrance, with very few soldiers even near the entrance. Joe guesses quickly that they're inside. The blaster fire stops as well, Joe trying to figure out why. [10] He not only correctly guesses that it was suppressing fire, to keep the Rebels trapped in, but also guesses the tactics in place by the Imperials. He guesses that they're pulling back to further strategize, with part of the process including scouting for different entrances to flank, and re-supplying their ammo and Thermal Detonator supply. The AT-ATs stay in place as the Imperials pull back both inside the AT-ATs, and behind several hilly areas as cover. PirateJoe scopes the area out, looking for both Vader and anyone with any special armor or weapons. [2] [8] PirateJoe, first off, looks for anyone who looks like Vader, or has Vader's visage, but finds nothing. Either Vader isn't here, or is waiting for the Barricade to go down. He does, however, see someone without Regulation White Snow Armor. They have purple armor, and a sniper rifle of some sort in their hands, and they appear to be providing overwatch to the tactically re-supplying Stormtroopers. PirateJoe tries to figure out if they're aiming at him. [7] The Purple Trooper is only watching the camp, but is checking the the battlefield for stray Rebels or reinforcements. Looking back out, Joe sees several Snowspeeders crashed into the snow, and corpses of Rebel and Imperial alike covering the battlefield.Joe turns around to see eight of his allies running up behind him.

NRDL is the first person to meet up with PirateJoe on the cliff-face, their allies close by. Person walks up to Joe, and relays the info to him on the 501st Legion. PirateJoe then replies by pointing at the Sniper and saying that he found them. The 9 of them pass plans around, until ATH draws their attention...before pointing at his mech, with an expression of "get the picture?" plastered on his face. All except UR, who is still calling the Rebels on his radio, begin to follow the MEKA as it's slides down the cliff face.

Abstract Traitor Hero readies up his MEKA, preparing his Fusion Cannons to fight! ...Well, when he finds them. Going behind a snow bank, they try to sneak past the AT-ATs. [4] While they sneak past the walking tanks, they hear an alarm suddenly sound before a Slugthrower round fires at ATH! [4+2 v 6] ATH blocks the bolt with his MEKA's body, before firing at the Sniper! [4+2 v 6] Firing the Fusion Cannons at the Purple Sniper, he suddenly dodges as the rounds from the cannon impact the snow, which explodes as it flies away from the scene. At this, 5 more Stormtroopers emerge from behind the hill face, likely a small fraction of the sheer amount that left the battle to resupply. The AT-ATs also turn their "heads", but what they're doing is unknown to the smaller individuals.

Person, pulling his Model 1887 off of his shoulder sling, aims at the Stormtroopers that came to the battle, their blasters drawn as they watch Person prepare to fire. [5+3 v 7+2] One of them is surprised by a Shotgun blast suddenly grazing his armor, causing cracks to emerge. He quickly steps back, possibly realizing he needs cover, so he runs to some shrapnel on the battlefield. Diving behind a crushed Snowspeeder, he looks up and sees his Squadmates walk forward, blasters primed.

Hawk, rising up from behind the cover of the snow bank, aims his revolver at the snow-armored Stormtroopers, or Snowtroopers as they should've been called from the start I suck, who are still in the open instead of being in cover they suck now! [9 v 9+2] Today, however, Hawk is the Stormtrooper as he misses his shot, the bullet impacting the snow, which kicks up. Hawk has what can only be described as a rage fit, as he goes absolutely insane, stomping on the snow as though the snow made him miss, when it was, in fact, a simple miscalculation on his part.

BiggerFish sits down behind the bank, silently pondering if bullets break Stormtrooper, but he doesn't need to do that for long as he sees Person's shotgun blast crack a trooper's armor, sending him straight for cover. At this, BiggerFish decides to pitch in by using his brain, and firing his Chaingun at the 4 Snowroopers currently out of cover. [2 v 5] [2 v 3] [5 v 1] [3 v 7] 3 of the Snowtroopers immediately dive behind cover, taking position with the 1st Snowtrooper as they ready their blasters. The 5th Snowtrooper, however, gets instantly incapacitated. 5 bullets attack each, meaning 5 bullets smack right into his armor, causing him to collapse onto the snow, his armor cracking as blood flies onto the snowbank. While the Snowtrooper is still alive, he's not in a position to even fight back. He simply lays on his back, with his life essence pooling under him.

DigitalDemon, with his striped Snowsuit and adorable mittens with what appears to be a slightly chubby skeleton on them *you rang?, tries to find the smallest amount of Snowtroopers on the battlefield. He has two choices, the 4 Snowtroopers hiding behind the Snowspeeder and the Purple Sniper. Deciding that getting close is the best choice, Demon tries to sneak closer to them. [3] The Purple Sniper aiming at Demon stops him in his tracks, causing Demon to dive back behind cover as he tries to find an opening to continue sneaking.

((Auto'd)) LordPorkins hides behind cover while Ragenaut fires her laser gun at the Purple Sniper. [8 v 7] After a quick plasma burn to his arm, he crouches back behind cover.
------------
UR connects to a radio, and hears what sounds like general panic and chaos on the other end before someone calls back. "Hello? Who's there?", which is said by what UR assumes is a member of the Rebel Alliance. UR responds by telling them who they are, and trying to convince them to let the Wiki-Warriors help the Rebels. [8] At first, the Rebel on the radio rejects UR's offer, saying they can't trust him and his friends, before a familiar and Harrison Ford-y voice says to just let them help, since they're leaving anyway. Happy with that, UR walks over to his racecar and drives to the battle. ...As he parks next to ATH's MEKA, he gets out before taking cover, the Snowtroopers ceasing fire for a brief few seconds in awe of the race car, which seems to be covered in product placement of McDonalds and some new John Carpenter movie or some crap like that.

"I'll be right back, then.", says the Disgraced Alchemist. After receiving the orders of the people sitting close to him, Beirus exits the Helicopter, and looks for a Wampa, one of the native animals to Hoth. He finds one walking around, seemingly looking for prey. Beirus tries to attract it over. [5] While he did bring it over, it sees him. The Large, White, Horned beast runs over to him, and Beirus tries to kill the charging monster with Alchemy. [6+2+2] Without being able to put up a fight, Beirus uses Alchemy and his Aether Manipulation to stop it's heart instantly. Beirus lights a section of snow on fire...somehow, and cooks the Wampa, cutting it's meat up and grilling it. After bringing the meat on board, he presses in a section of the Helicopter and out folds a shelf, of which he grabs 4 plates. Beirus plates the food up, grabs cups from another shelf, and even finds a bottle of Whiskey strategically placed in the front seat...for some reason. After giving the food and whiskey to everyone, Beirus sits down and begins eating. Luckily for the 4 involved, Wampa Meat has the taste and texture of chicken, but the natural spice and bite as shark meat. As they eat, they all actually have normal, pleasant conversation. Aspirations. Regrets. How good the meat is. Eventually, however, the Pilot asks if they should go to Echo Base. Jess responds with, "If you don't, you're either dead or fired. Or dead and fired.", to which the Pilot responds with, "As you wish...it shall be done. Just don't expect everyone to listen.", before the Helicopter turns towards Echo Base.
-----------
The Marksman of the 501st aims down his sight, hoping to attack the Chaingun wielding foe. [9+2 v 5] A Slugthrower round pierces BiggerFish's stomach, and suddenly, as his gut gets filled with pain and plasma, his mind becomes assaulted with a vision. He sees a man shrouded in darkness shoot him in the Stomach while in a Helicopter, as the darkness dissipates, he sees that it's Jess Warner. While the plasma coating cauterized the wound, the sheer pain of the wound and vision cause BiggerFish to collapse to his knees.

The Wounded Snowtrooper tries to hold on, tries to cling to life. [9] He manages to roll over and begin crawling back to the camp.

The 4 Snowtroopers begin all just trying to suppress the Wiki-Warriors. [1 v 3] Because they are, in fact, Stormtroopers, they don't even intentionally miss to keep them down, they just...miss. Seriously?

The AT-ATs begin opening their doors, and by next turn, the Snowtroopers will have re-grouped to the point where they, too, will drop down to attack the Wiki-Warriors.

(Whoa hold on I have a +3 to firearms? Just noticed that. I love this loadout even more now.)

I'm going to transform into this moth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agreeable_tiger_moth) for camouflage purposes.

Transform into my chosen moth. Determine whether or not I keep my equipment. If I do, fly above the battlefield in an inconspicuous manner to search for members of Vader's 501st. If I do not, transform back while remaining in cover, and re-equip myself.

Well, this is gonna matter quite a bit. Current plan is that if I notice the purple soldier, I'll sneak up on them. Then, I'll transform back and shoot them repeatedly while they're taken by surprise. Would probably work on most of them but that one's relatively isolated.

Edit: Was confused for a bit, but did TheBiggerFish get a vision of their past life(last game) or something like that?

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round 3: Snow Skirmish
Echo Base,  (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Noon, Cloudy, 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Boss Theme! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8)

As the snow crunches and blaster fire litters the sky, the 10 Wiki-Warriors take cover with their respective weapons and items. NRDL, courageous as ever, rises up with his Sten in his hands, before aiming down his sights. He begins firing, intending to suppress the Snowtroopers, and keep them down to help his team and himself. [1+2 v 6] The recoil prevent this, however, as his fire makes 5 rounds hit the ground before he lets go of the trigger. Unscathed, and slightly confused, the Snowtroopers take aim at the Wiki-Warriors, the sound of Plasma forcing NRDL back into cover as he checks his ammo.

Behind the cover of the snowbank, Person turns over several ideas in his head before thinking on his Moth power. As he looks around the white snow, he thinks on a Moth species he found out about on a random search from Wikipedia, which is white as well. He tries to channel the Moth, and succeeds quite easily, as it is a normal species of Moth. He quickly changes back, just to see if he keeps his equipment. [5] While he keeps his outfit, his Mic and Shotguns fall onto the ground just before his transforms, and when he changes back, he looks down to see his guns on the ground. He picks his guns back up before crouching back into cover.

Looking out at the hill, PirateJoe looks at his equipment before setting his sights on his Pipebomb. Checking the fuse of the Pipebomb's fuse, he then lights it, before looking up. Four Snowtroopers at the back, the Sniper's out of range...he has it. [1] Despite this, he didn't check how long the fuse really would be with the snow. Despite the fact that the cold could undo the fuse, it actually burned faster, seemingly due to the composition of the fuse being quite flammable. The bomb explodes right then and there, and Joe desperately, and difficulty, tries to throw it before it's too late. [6-2] Joe manages to throw it before it causes absolutely terrible damage, but the explosion from the bomb burns his Right Hand slightly, merely first degree and not dangerous. As Joe looks at the burns, however, an almost memory-like vision plays out. He sees a pair of Leather Gloves burned off of his hands, which appear burned and crisped. After the vision ends, Joe yells out before taking cover yet again, holding his own hands before looking at them with confusion, as though what he just saw never happened...

DigitalDemon clenches his fist, his Sans based mittens scrunching up. Demon finds the DETERMINATION he needs, and he quickly gathers the courage to try to keep the Sniper from attacking. He tries to get to the Sniper without dying himself. [10] Without even a chance to fire, the Snowtroopers watch as DD charges for the hill. The 501st Sniper also merely watches as Demon suddenly shows up in front of him. From Demon's perspective, he sees the world go black and white...
>ACT: Check
*HP: Unknown. DEF: +3
*A Clone of Bounty Hunter Jango Fett, kept in the Empire by Vader himself. An expert in Marksmanship. [+2 to Fire]
>ACT: Appeal to Humanity.
*You try to appeal to the Marksman's humanity, rather then the Empire's conditioning or the mission provided. [4+2]
*It almost works. He puts away his gun, but you know this is just a distraction to him...[No Action This Turn]

Hawk, looking at the chaos with a heavy head, takes out his Buffout and takes a tablet. He begins taunting the Snowtroopers, saying, "Hey! Stormtroopers! Guess what? I just took a drug that'll let me destroy you. Just run, while you-...you...I THINK THE DRUGS JUST KICKED IN! Goddamn Stormtroopers! If I can't hit you with guns, then I'll just bash your skulls in!, before pulling his Wrench out, and charging to the Snowtroopers, his proximity allowing him to chain his attacks!

[4+2 v 3+2] While Snowtrooper Armor is as resistant as normal Armor, the Wrench connecting with the helmet of the Snowtrooper still dents it slightly, causing Snowtrooper #1 to back off slightly.

[1+2 v 3+2] Snowtrooper #2 dodges the Wrench strike, but still backs off to range to hit the Drugged Wiki-Warrior.

[3+2 v 10+2] [6 v 1+2] Hawk tries to hit Snowtrooper #3, but his wrist is suddenly grabbed! Snowtrooper #3 then knees Hawk right in the chest, and Hawk feels, what seems to be, ribs cracking. #3 then backs off as well, though instead of checking his blaster, he merely cracks his knuckles.

[8+2 v 5] Despite the broken Ribs, the pure Adrenaline in Hawk's veins prevent him from actually feeling any pain or weakness as he smashes his Wrench into the last Snowtrooper's skull, cracking and denting his helmet. As he falls to the ground, he drops his blaster before falling unconscious, his last real sight before going under being the terrifying visage of the Robed, Drugged, and Melee Focused Wiki-Warrior grinning, despite the broken ribs...

ATH, in his MEKA, checks everything he can to find a place to flank the Snowtroopers, and finish this Skirmish. [9] ATH goes to the Snowtroopers' Left, which catches them off guard! [2+2 v 2+2-2] One Snowtrooper gets his arm grazed, which causes him to clutch at the wound in pain. The other three drag him off to behind the hill, back to wherever they came, leaving only the Sniper and whatever Stormtroopers will drop from the AT-AT.

As BiggerFish grovels in pain, the Memory Flashes seem to haunt his senses. Memories continue to flow into BiggerFish, the images playing through his brain making it impossible to look away. He begins to remember the Beatles, a young British girl, a One Eyed Soldier, and his...death. He remembers everything. After his memories flash, BiggerFish sees his most powerful form...Khepri, the Egyptian Beetle God. Due to it being a very powerful form, he needs to try, but his memories returning means it will be easier. [6+2. Theme of Powerful Transformations! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lGuDTRilKQ)] BiggerFish feels heavy pain...before suddenly feeling immense power! His teeth begin to gnash and grind before transforming into very sharp fangs. He feels what feels like Antennae grow into his head, burrowing into his skull. He feels his arms and legs begin to section out, before fusing back, creating 6 limbs. He sees his skin go a rich brown before hardening into a Carapace, a natural armor growing around him. Finally, he begins to shrink down to a reasonable Beetle size, only around a few inches tall and wide. The transformation is complete, and BiggerKhepri has risen once again! BiggerKhepri waits to value his targets up, before looking for his equipment. [8] He keeps all his items, and stays in his form, ready to burn everything...

((Auto'd)) Ukrainian Ranger, LordPorkins, and Ragenaut all take cover, as the battle seems to be taking a large turn, though for the better or the worse is unknown.

((Auto'd)) Beirus sits in the Helicopter, now above Echo Base, with the Operator seemingly being the driver, and the rest making conversation as though that's normal. Looking down, he sees the AT-ATs, and the Wiki-Warriors.
-----------
The AT-AT doors open, and Stormtroopers begin to rappel down! ...[5 v 1] One of the Stormtroopers gets hit by a Blaster Bolt, and dies instantly! At that, everyone looks to their left to see some Rebels charge to them. The two squads begin exchanging fire! Blaster Bolt after Blaster Bolt flies through the air, as one Rebel runs up to the Wiki-Warriors, before she says, "Hello. Ara Taarjak. I'm with the Rebel Alliance. If you have anything to do here, do it now. We need to move to Echo Base.", before she pulls out a Blaster Carbine, and takes cover as well!
------------
"So...what are they? Clones? Robots? Tell me...who are you, and what are they?" "...The end of days. As for them, and what my purpose is...it no longer matters."
----------
BSN: Plot! Vagueness! Deus Ex Machina!

...Actually, other then the normal oddities which happen all the time, nothing really. TO THE SHEETS!

...Okay, I apologize for the delay. I fell asleep while typing due to the time when I was doing this initially. At this point, I should just say that the turns will come tomorrow. Also, since Porkins and Ragenaut weren't here for 4 Rounds (Rounds 0, 1, 2, and this one) I'm handing LordPorkins's actions to Beirus and Ragenaut's to Elephant Parade. Also, I'm debating removing the names of the articles from the sheets, and just referring to the URL, like in Chapter One. It might help make these come out a bit faster, but I don't know. That is all, you can go back outside if you want.

Eh, worth a shot. Well, let's get serious.

Get my mic back. Follow the rebels if most of the team does. If not, follow my fellow warriors into battle. Start rapping about how much better we are than the empire to raise the team's spirit/morale, including the rebels if possible.

This is a terrible idea. Let it be known that if I die this turn, I died spitting mad fire. Was kind of planning on actually shooting things, but I'll give this a go. I'd be willing to lend one of my shotguns to someone who is without weapons. (Basically just Ukranian Ranger, Porkins, and DigitalDemon.)

(You actually called me Intrigued in the spoiler. It was just a turn of phrase, but you actually did it. I laughed far too long about that. Yep, my character's name is officially Sir Intrigue. Is Intrigue his last name or his first? Answer: Yes. Anyway, I just remembered pokemon has more than a few moths and butterflies. Butterfree, Beautifly, Vivillon, Dustox, Mothim(It's in the name), maybe even Venonat. I'm probably forgetting some. There's a good few decent bugs. Not just Volcarona(Which isn't the best fit for the moth family, admittedly). Still not a power I plan on using too much as of yet.)

And if you were just joking about changing it...too bad, it's Sir Intrigue now.

PMing people doesn't seem a bad idea in my personal gming experience, as small as it is. It may feel like you're nagging people unnecessarily, but sometimes people do actually forget. Also I concur that the whole "learning experience" thing these games have is one of the aspects I like as well. Even before these games started I often found myself spamming Wikipedia's random button.

Theme of Powerful Transformations! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lGuDTRilKQ)

..."Ah. I see I came back. Well then.", the Beetle God of the Sun himself, BiggerKhepri says to himself, pleased that being a God allows use of his vocal cords. BiggerKhepri looks up with his..."head" to see the 501st Marksman staring at DigitalDemon, fixated on whatever he's saying. At this, Khepri subtly motions to Demon to move, only to realize that Demon isn't looking at the Wiki-Warriors at all. BiggerFish sighs, before charging his Fire Magic up, for the first time in a long time. [4+2 v 4-2 (Distracted, No Armor Bonus due to Magic Based Explosion)] BiggerKhepri's antennae rub together, Fire Magic channeling slowly. With a fire in his veins, BiggerKhepri lines his shot up, and primes his Fireball to blow this mother up! BiggerKhepri lets his Fire Magic loose into a Fireball, which burns with a brilliant yellow glow. It flies through the air, the snow around it glowing the same beautiful yellow as the magic sphere itself flies towards the 501st Marksman. It connects with a thunderous sound, DigitalDemon remains unharmed as he sees the 501st Marksman's Armor fly apart in a fiery explosion. The armor on his arm shatters, and the armor everywhere else cracks and warps into a blackened shape. His Cycler Rifle flies away, before clumsily landing on the snow. The Marksman lands on the floor, with his arm on fire and bleeding due to the shrapnel. BiggerKhepri keeps a steady hold on his current form, as he then flies up to provide overwatch. He sees the 4 Snowtroopers, plus the fifth, crawling one, running off to the distance. Apparently, their Forward Operating Base is quite far.

PirateJoe witnesses the 501st Marksman gets burned and blown away, his armor becoming shrapnel as it collides with the snow. PirateJoe stares at this scene for a while, his mind still on that vision. He looks down at his hand again, swearing that in the back of his mind, he sees dust covering his body. Shoving that back to his mere thoughts, PirateJoe prepares to charge for the now burning member of the 501st. He activates his power, and his right arm begins glowing, with an almost ethereal, larger arm surrounding it. He lets out a Primal Yell, ((0:07 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVip9viIacg))) before charging right at the Marksman! [8 v 2-2(On Fire, Injuries)] The Marksman climbs to his knees, only to see a mixed Ukrainian/Brazilian with the super powers of a Special Infected coming right towards him. PirateJoe connects with the Marksman quite hard, instantly breaking his ribs. PirateJoe charges off the hill, bowling over the Snowtroopers, whose blasters fly away. The Snowtroopers run off and Joe stops himself. Joe then slams the Marksman into the ground, snapping his spine with an audible crack. The Marksman begins begging, crying out that he can't feel his legs. Joe, without another thought, slams the Marksman back into the ground, another snapping sound playing as his spinal cord snaps apart. The Marksman dies instantly, going limp right in Joe's arm, the fire extinguished by the wind blowing through the charge. When Joe realizes the man in his hand is dead, he chucks the corpse away, causing it to tumble away into the snow. Joe looks up to BiggerKhepri, before flashing a thumbs up at him...before getting another vision of an armored man in front of him, his hand turning to dust. Joe snaps out of the vision, before listening back into the blaster fire caused by the rebels.
Boss Killed! PirateJoe gets:
http://killerinstinct.wikia.com/wiki/Gargos: +Ability: Portals of Gargos, +Ability: Demonic Summons, +Celldweller and Atlas Plug Guitar and Synth

Person looks out to the battle between the Rebels and the Imperials, before pulling his mic out. It's time to stop going by his nickname, and therefore, it's time to rock. Person rises up to a hill, as the gears turn in his brain. He looks out to the battles as he looks at his microphone. [2+2] The man formerly known as Person raises his mic up, and puts on a good performance! "Yo! I came to bust a cap, yet I'm here to bust rhymes! This confrontation's happened many a time! I spit bars like shotgun fire, and I make my foe's situation dire! Name's Sir Intrigue! Person is dead and buried! My old name is-", but before he can continue, his microphone cuts out, no audio being transmitted as he simply stares at it. He begins tapping at it before looking out at the fight. While his allies do seem to like the performance, they aren't as motivated as Sir Intrigue would have liked it. (+1 to all rolls for 2 turns) He then offers one of his shotguns to either DigitalDemon, UR, or LordPorkins, before making sure no Stormtroopers are aiming at him. It seems that some of them are, in fact, staring at him...with their guns.

NRDL's plan, up until recent events, was simple: rush the Marksman and shoot him in the face repeatedly until he stops living. Then said Marksman got a Fireball to the arm, then got his spine broken multiple times until he was practically decapitated from the inside. So, NRDL thinks about it, before deciding on something. He's gonna rush that position, before firing on the AT-AT Squads. NRDL runs up to DigitalDemon, who looks pretty much frozen with what looks like a shock on his face. NRDL calmly pats Demon on the head before dragging him to cover. He then fires on the Squad with one less Trooper then there should be. [8+2+1 v 1] With only the remaining bullets in his Mag, NRDL fires into the squad. All of the Snowtroopers he doesn't kill in one shot with strategic fire are quickly double tapped, put down anyway. NRDL is about to dive to cover to reload, before he looks back and realizes that he's killed all 19 of them. Looking out at the corpses, NRDL stares in complete and total shock before looking at his gun in a daze. He unloads the dry magazine and drops it. Then, he drops his gun. Then, he drops himself, because he just fainted at what just happened. I'm pretty sure he woke up just a few seconds later, so...

DigitalDemon had a similar plan: he was going to flirt with the Marksman until he stopped fighting, at which point everything would be in the air. But with a burst of fire, and what sounded like PirateJoe saying, "KARMAAAAAAA!", before slamming into said Marksman, DigitalDemon's face became stuck into a stunned smile. Even NRDL dragging him into cover before curbstomping an entire squad of Snowtroopers didn't stop that. DigitalDemon swore he could hear a voice in the back of his mind, which didn't sound like The Operator or anything else, more like a...small child. "So...No Mercy? Genocide Run? Wanna help me? Go ahead. Wanna keep with the friendship stuff, then I wish I could stop you, but I can't.", to which Demon is brought out of his funk before remembering the game his lookout's about...uh oh.

Despite her thinking that she could only use the Force with a weapon, Lady Porkins quickly realizes that if she's Force Sensitive, she should be able to passively sense Force Energy. She tries to tap into the Force, tries to feel it flowing through all the life on the Planet. She eventually feels that "spark", that feeling of life energy that the Force fundamentally is...and it's quite dangerous. She tries to brush that off, and also tries to use the Force to find a Lightsaber. [4+1] She finds two Lightsabers on the planet...connected to two Owners. Luke and Anakin. Luke and Vader. At that, Porkins uses that as a clue to try to find Vader's Fist members, or Vader's precise location, perhaps. [1+1] As she tries to focus, she suddenly feels an interference, as though an experienced Force User is clouding her mind and judgement. Porkins looks at Intrigue's offer, before looking out to the Squad priming to fire.

Hawk holds his wrench, still with a gleeful, yet painfilled expression. Describing it in one word would probably be something along the lines of "insane". Hawk looks to the Snowtroopers running away, before turning his attention to the first squad of Snowtroopers...who are dead. He then looks to the Second Squad, and gets a look at hate filled glee before charging!

[1+2+1 v 7+2] The First Five he attacks quickly back off, going closer and closer to Echo Base as they escape the crazy, Wrench wielding psycho.

[1+2+1 v 1]The Next Five have their guns knocked out before they're pushed away. They back off so as to not get close to the man.

[2+2+1 v 9+2] The Next Five just shoot him. No, really. [4 v 5+1] Hawk dodges, however, and just charges back anyway! [3+2+1 v 2] All Five are knocked to the floor, and run off to the rest of the re-grouping Troopers.

[10+2+1 v 1+2] The Final Five are attacked by Hawk, and Hawk makes quick work of them. Hawk knocks helmets off, smashes them in strategic locations, but no matter what, all 5 of them die there. Hawk's Wrench, now covered in blood, is therefore similar to the Wiki-Warrior himself.

ATH was also going to attack the Sniper in a similar manner, but...you know. Fire, Karma Charge, Decapitated. With this in mind, ATH turns to the 15 Snowtroopers, who are re-grouping. ATH tries to wire his Fusion Cannons to be more powerful, as he wanted before the Marksman was brutally killed. [7+2] He manages to funnel more power to the Cannons for one shot, making them very effective. ATH then speeds to the Snowtroopers, and fires! [7+2+2+1 v 10] 14 of them are critically wounded, blood pouring out of their wounds as they fall unconscious due to the shock. The last one looks to his quickly dying comrades and then turns to ATH.

((Auto'd)) Ragenaut, seeing fit to finish the job ATH just did, aims her laser gun at the last one. She lines it up...[9+1 v 8] and shoots him right in both legs! As the crippled Trooper collapses, he turns and hurriedly fires his blaster at her! [Instant Kill due to Inactivity] Ragenaut gets a blaster bolt directly through her chest, and she gets thrown back onto her back. She squirms for only a few moments, but then lays still, the light in her eyes leaving as she passes away...
Ragenaut has died.

((Auto'd)) UR runs over to the Rebels, and pulls out a canvas. While not drawing yet, he has...inspiration.
------------
Beirus watches through the Helicopter windows at BiggerKhepri's transformation, and turns back to his...friends? Frenemies? Even in hindsight, I don't know. He then says, "And it looks like Khepri is making an appearance. This should get interesting. I wonder if Vader can sense him through the Force. Hey, I just thought of something. If Vader dies here, who's going to kill the Emperor? Can I do it?", his commentary reaching their ears soon enough. Jess says, "I don't mind. If we get this sort of thing for the next battle, then we might just rig it...", only for Jaws to reply, "We can't. We agreed not to rig anything. Fair competition for the dead people.". Veronica says, "Aw, Logan. Jessie wants to have fun, so let him have fun.", only for Logan to stare at her, leading to the Operator and Jaws both saying, "...Jessie?. While Logan adopts a face of thinking, unsure of what to think about the developments, the Operator then says, "You humans are running this. Do what you want. Just don't be surprised if it helps me.". Beirus then says, "Oh, right. Kinda forgot you were here.", to which the Pilot's, and therefore the Operator's reaction being a glare where, if looks could kill, the Multiverse would have imploded....twice.
----------
The Rebels shoot at the last Snowtrooper. [6 v 7-2] Despite that Snowtrooper's predicament, they still only graze his arm.

The Snowtrooper tries his hardest to escape despite everything. [8] He manages to stand long enough to run, but the Rebels see him collapse behind the familiar hill.

Ara Taarjak walks back over to the Wiki Warriors, NRDL waking up right as she arrives, and begins speaking. "Well, soldiers. It seems you have a few options. You can either go into Echo Base, grab medical supplies and ammo, and inspect maps of the planet. Or, we can spare a few men, who'll follow you as you go into the wilderness, and hunt down those Elite Soldiers. Which will it be?", before she holds her blaster up. She then looks over to Ragenaut, and continues with, "I'm...sorry, about your friend. This whole war's been a struggle.". She then waits for the responses of the Wiki-Warriors...
--------------
BSN:An alternate for this Round could be "Wiki-Warriors OP, plz nerf". As we've learned, however, there is no nerf!

First boss down, first Wiki-Warrior down. This was one of those rounds, you know? Where, when you imagine it, and picture it in your head, it's cooler then most movies? This was it for me!

Other then that, I don't quite know what to put here. Still thinking of just putting the URL of each article except for naming them. I'll do that for this turn and see if it speeds this process up. Seems like it will. Maybe, when I can find a way to make it take less time while naming each and every one, I'll name them again. Oh, but you guys don't want to hear me being lazy and crap. See you before next Round!

It's nice to see this game progressing, I couldn't join this round due to time constraints, but maybe I'll come back in for round 3 or 4 in the future.

I have one criticism though Greatness, you did a huge mistake this round...

For TBF, you listed the Boston Celtics as a football team. Heresy! :P
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Person on August 05, 2016, 01:04:30 pm
URLs are fine. Special characters can make some articles less legible but there's not really much issue since you can just follow the link anyway. Sure, proper names look nice but that's more of a bonus than a necessary step. If you've got time go ahead, but don't worry about it too much.

Anyway, a rap attempt was made. I think even that small +1 made a lot of difference, particularly in Hawk's case. Also good writing both on the rap and overall. Could really see in all in my mind. I'll try to make my own raps in the future but I'm not the best in that regard. Oh also yeah TCM is right. The Celtics are basketball players.

Edit: Oh sidenote, are we getting reinforcements from the waitlist (empty as it is right now) or do we lose if we all die. Also I think PirateJoe gets an article for killing the marksman? Not 100% sure but I think that was one of the special troops.

@TCM: Always nice to see you again! Also, crap. I guess I didn't read that article. I guess it also helps that the only sport I genuinely watch on TV is Baseball, which was still only one time, and...I'll modify this round to reflect that.

@Person: Thank you! I was very tired when I typed that, so...yeah. Also, no reinforcements. This is meant to be a Gametype where you guys have to make the best decisions to survive. Besides, we already have a standard Wiki Warfare mode with respawns, Pieces of 10, and the "Collect a Special Item" Gametype also has respawns. I like symmetry (http://ttp://overwatch.wikia.com/wiki/Symmetra) sometimes, what can I say? About PirateJoe...I was tired when I typed that. When I get the opportunity, I'll give an article to him.

Guys, I need to make sure of something. Are you guys reading the entire turn, or just your own action? Because I need you guys to read all of the turn, to make sure nothing's missed. Just going to name names, since this is important. Person, or Sir Intrigue, the only Snowtroopers still there are either corpses or bleeding out and dying anyway.

Just wanted to point this out. I don't mean to offend by saying that you guys are inept or anything, really! You guys are awesome, and I mean it when I say that I don't want to make fun of, or hurt you guys, and me wanting to do so to any of you is impossible! I'm just saying that you guys need to make sure that you see everything, or else, important information in the turn might be missed.

There is something up with those visions, I'll have to ask jaws about it later....

Use my new power and summon Izzik and tell them the looks of the surviving members of the fist, Izzik is to look for them and tell me there locations, also afterwords use that medkit to fix my hand, it shouldn't use up much supply's in the kit after all.

Oh. Well then. No rap quite yet then, but I'll save that for later. I do read everything, but I guess I sort of thought I had a separate group of troopers to the ones everyone else got rid of. Also you haven't updated TBF's assets to reflect that he is now a basketballer, but I figure you'll just do that next turn or something.

"We all knew the risks. Still, we don't have much in the way of medical supplies, and it'd be nice to prevent something like that from happening again. I'll go to Echo Base first and get medical supplies. After that I'll be going after the Elite Soldiers with the rest."

EDIT: Since I'm no longer in a funk, just gonna edit this in. You guys are awesome. Even after a few IRL months, you've still put up with me and my antics. From me being a weird and cooky guy, to pouring my heart out over my failures, you guys haven't cared. It's either you're used to it, and have accepted it, or it's just a part of me and you guys don't mind. Whatever the case, thank you.

Now that all the mushy stuff is out of the way, HOLY CROSSFIT JESUS (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Rollins), we have over 600 replies and over 10,000 VIEWS! Holy crap. Now that's a Special number.

You really need to have more self confidence. A lot of the stuff you feel bad about or blame yourself for has either been a minor problem at best, or not a problem at all. You're running a great game here, and you should do whatever you feel like will keep it great. In any event congrats on that milestone. You're awesome too, don't doubt that for a second.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round 5: Rest Period
Echo Base,  (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Noon, Cloudy, 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

An eye in the sky would expertly describe what BiggerKhepri is at the moment. Looking out into the white snow, several thoughts rush through his mind, though above all of them, only "NEXT!" seems to speak to him. After fluttering down, and using his human speech to tell the Wiki-Warriors of his plan, he flies off toward the F.O.B., intending to serve as a scout. He makes it to another hill, but finds that all the power expended means his form is failing slightly. He tries to keep his form active, [10] and not only manages to keep his small Beetle form active, but scrounges together enough Magic that he can stay transformed for a long while [5 turns before next roll]. As he looks out, he sees a camp with several small structures, like tents. Several white crates are stacked up near several Snowtroopers, all of them carrying Imperial Standard Blaster Rifles. BiggerKhepri looks around for anyone who looks like Vader or the members of the 501st. [1] Before he can even look, a large snowstorm appears over the the horizon, before quickly arriving at the camp, obscuring BiggerKhepri's vision. While both BiggerKhepri and the Stormtroopers get to warmer locations, it's going to be difficult to look. [-2 to all rolls involving Sight, Weather Change: Snowy]

The Snowfall, blanketing a far off area, appears over the horizon at Echo Base as well, though far away enough that everyone can get inside before the extreme cold gets to them. PirateJoe, looking over the horizon, gets an interesting idea. He's going to send one of his new minions to the F.O.B. He begins charging magic, the new sensations in his veins causing slight light headedness in the Wiki-Warrior, before he focuses the Magic into a portal. The portal is larger than the Hills nearby, around 15 feet long, roughly. It glows with a sinister purple, but what pops out isn't as sinister. The being that comes out appears to only be around 3'4" or 4 foot even, and is a light grey. He has what appears to be a trident, and his eyes appear to glow blue. Izzik appears as the Portal closes, before looking to the humans in front of him. PirateJoe walks up to the Demon, and relays orders to him to go find the 501st or even Vader. Joe says that they're probably at the F.O.B., before pointing to a speck in the distance. Izzik looks at it for approximately 0 seconds before holding his trident up and charging at it. PirateJoe waits for around 5 seconds before walking back to the group, pulling out a Medkit and attempting to bandage up his hand. [7] He successfully bandages it up, before seeing a prosthetic leg in the snow. When Joe focuses on it, it suddenly disappears. Considering it another vision, Joe stands with the Wiki-Warriors.

"We all knew the risks. Still, we don't have much in the way of medical supplies, and it'd be nice to prevent something like that from happening again. I'll go to Echo Base first and get medical supplies. After that I'll be going after the Elite Soldiers with the rest.", says Sir Intrigue, Ara nodding her head before pointing her hand to Echo Base. "Right over there.", causing Sir Intrigue to nod himself. Sir Intrigue walks toward the base, while making gestures to everyone who wishes to follow him.

Hawk looks up with blood coating his skin and caking in his hair, his head turned toward the former Person with almost violent glee. As his high wanes off, however, the emotions he feels aren't of glee or sorrow. He looks to his wrench, bloodsoaked and red, not with a heavy heart or an insane smile, but merely with acknowledgment. He's sane, and that's the easiest description to make. Despite his sanity, or perhaps because of it, he looks out to the Snowtrooper escaping the scene, and yells out, "Hey, come back here! I still haven't shown you what your brains look like! ... Eh, whatever. Anyone got some painkillers? I have a feeling that I'll be in a LOT of pain once the adrenaline wears off.", the last part of said sentence referring to Ara and the Rebels. One of them stands up, and affirms that he has a painkilling treatment, but that they're not Terrran, or Earth, painkillers. Hawk nods, and the Rebel in question brings out a Bacta Tank, connected to it is a syringe looking object, with a tube leading it to said tank. The Rebel says that this won't heal his ribs completely, but it will treat the broken bones and stop the pain until he's fully healed. Hawk agrees, and gets injected. Immediately, he feels a lot of pain in his chest, before the pain stops. Just as quickly as it was injected, the object similar to a syringe is removed, leaving Hawk nothing but normal feelings...if normal feelings included feeling bones jutting into his chest, but it's not lethal, so he merely follows Sir Intrigue to Echo Base.

NRDL ponders the offer for only a few short seconds before agreeing, saying, "I could definitely use a new gun, always wanted something that shot laser beams.", with a nice smile on his face. To ruin the mood, however, one of the Rebels speaks up, his nasally voice contrasting his muscular build. "Actually, it's Ionized Plasma, not Laser Be-", before Ara interrupts, saying, "It doesn't matter. If he wants to call it Lasers, he can call it Lasers. Right?", which NRDL agrees to. He turns, and meets up with Hawk and Sir Intrigue, gearing up to head inside.

DigitalDemon, upon hearing the voice of many names or rather, 3 pronunciations, bolts up to his feet, the familiar sound of snow crunching under him as he races towards everyone. Standing upon a hill, he calls out to everyone, saying, "Guys, STOP! We don't need to fight! They're people too, y'know?! How about, we just do peaceful things. We can flirt, be friendly, and understand them! I am Determined to win this war, not with Blasters, but with humanity." [1+2] Despite this, Ara speaks up, a bittersweet smile on her face as if somber weight was on her shoulders, "I...appreciate what you want to do. We understand that they are like you and us, Humans. But I'm afraid the Empire isn't based around humanity or friendship. Even if we could have diplomacy, it won't change the Empire's strict dictatorship. All we can hope to do is bring the Imperial soldiers out of the Empire, but even then...". DigitalDemon nods his head, before saying "Even if we can't win, we can stop this.", but Ara merely nods before looking down, the somber look taking over her expression. Demon walks down the hill, and meets up with the group.

Upon receiving the information regarding the Lightsabers, Lady Porkins gets an idea in her head. Since the Force connects all living things, she could contact Luke with a "ping" in the Force. She tries to focus her Force Sensitivity into contacting Luke. [6+1] While not definite, she feels like she reached Luke somewhere on Hoth, somewhere close by. Feeling satisfied, Porkins walks back over to the group, holding her Soccerball in her arms.

Abstract doesn't do anything fancy, really. He walks his MEKA over, and fires his light cannons into the dying Snowtroopers. Bullet after bullet impacts the writhing Imperials, quickly and mercifully ending their suffering. ATH walks back over to the group.

((Auto'd)) Ukrainian Ranger walks back to the group, before telling Sir Intrigue to lead the way.

The group walks into Echo Base through the barricade, Ara saying, "If any of you have unfinished business out here, go ahead and do it. We're not keeping this thing open with the Empire breathing down our necks.". The people who are definitely going in, Hawk, NRDL, and Sir Intrigue all walk in. Inside is an identical hanger to the one in the film, the only difference being the emptiness of it all. Not many Soldiers, and no ships are inside. NRDL walks to an Armory, looking for a Blaster Rifle, or just a Pistol. [7] He sees a Blaster Rifle and a single Thermal Detonator left. NRDL acquires both items, before stepping back with the group. Ara walks to both the 3 inside, and the group outside. She tells the entire group that a high ranking General wants to validate their objective, before turning to Lady Porkins and saying, "General Skywalker wants to see you, miss. He says it's important, but if you need to stay here, you can.", before she walks back inside.
-----------
Beirus walks over to a window, and provides commentary. "So, a Demon and a Beetle God walk into a Snowstorm...actually, nah." before walking back over to the 3 he's with. As he sits down, he then asks, "So...since I'm here, what's up with the Cult of Jericho and the weird prophecy thing that's going on?", attempting to convince the...guess we need a name. The Insiders? The New World Order?...the people. [1] Before anyone can answer, he suddenly sees nothing but darkness and the same familiar, purple eyes. Looking around, he sees inside a tunnel, with the very end of the tunnel being the Operator. As Beirus charges towards me, he suddenly finds that I've disappeared. He turns around to see me, staring him right into his eyes with my...our vision. We say, "Listen, Beirus. I'll let you ask again, but take this as a warning as to my power. So, don't ask questions you don't want answered. This is why you should care.", before he turns back to see the Helicopter again, Jess Warner looking at him with confusion, before saying, "You were saying?". Beirus repeats himself, his question ringing through yet again. [10] He not only convinces them, but also slips Legion and who, or rather what, he is. Jess starts off with, "Well, I guess I, as a Non-Worshiper, have the best insider info that the Operator or Astrid will allow. The Cult reveres all 3 members of the Triad as equally powerful. It's just that Jericho was the first Triad member to be recorded. I guess I'll just tell you about it. The Cult's main objective is to help the Triad in any way. We don't have a headquarters per say, but Astrid does have Meeting Grounds in buildings across the world. I guess the best info about us is our member count. We have thousands, possibly millions but we've lost count. We don't know why there's so many, but rumors have abound that Astrid's hundreds of years old, and given how he knows about Jericho's origins, he might be. Prophecy? Well, they say that in 2019, both the world and the man or woman who will become Exodus will, well, die. Astrid went into more detail at some point, and it was included in the version of the book I have, basically an Insider's Guide. Basically, it says that only a few seconds after both deaths, the grouping of Jericho, the Operator and Legion will revive him via any means they need. Requirements? It...depends. Apparently, all recordings change it in some way. It's accepted to either be the most powerful warrior, or the most...prolific killer. But, like I said, it depends. Now, about Legion...First, I don't think he's a Philosopher's Stone per say...", pausing only for an odd sight to show up. On the ground is a Lantern which is glowing red, with what appears to be souls inside. Beirus looks inside the Lantern, before he hears the Operator in his head, the millions of echoing voices saying, "That a lot to take in? Well, this is more complicated, but it's less of an info dump. Ever hear of a Phylactery? It's what a Lich binds his soul into to become immortal. Well, we have them, but it's different. To prevent your human brain from literally melting out your ears, I'll keep this brief. Basically, a living Phylactery is something that takes in millions of souls to become immortal by expending them. There's a channeling object, the traditional Phylactery, that takes the souls for the living Phylactery to accept. As a Demon, Legion usually keeps his Phylactery close to him. Explains why the Lantern's gone. Legion's helping? Aren't a smart little primitive, tangible speck? I have it on good authority that he's...well, he's brought them back. All I can tell you without the brain melting occurring.". Beirus wakes up in the Helicopter, it's windows closed up and shielded to protect the Commentators from the elements. Beirus is asked how he feels, to which he replies, "Like I just got an Exposition Dump into my brain. Gimme something to drink.", with Veronica then saying, "I don't know if Catholics are allowed to drink, but after the recent events, getting drunk's the best idea in the world.", with an honest to God smile on her face, her beautiful green eyes vibrant in the lighting of the...I mean, uh-

BSN: Exposition Dump! It's what's for dinner!

1st: That Plasma vs. Laser exchange is to be expected, because...well, think about why that sounds like something that's happened on the Internet...or anywhere.

2nd: Sorry for the crap Exposition Dump. It was my first attempt to get info out that way. Not apologizing, except I just did...um...see...TO THE SHEETS!

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round 6: Skywalker
Inside Echo Base (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Noon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

As the snowstorm picks up, every Wiki-Warrior feels the chill on their skin and sees the cold in their breath as they lookout for the 501st. Oddly, they all notice that the AT-ATs don't seem to be moving, no noise coming from either the cockpit or the inside of the vehicle. Lady Porkins gathers her courage to meet Luke Skywalker, feelings of nervousness quickly washing away as she hopped the barricade before walking to Ara and telling her to lead Porkins to Luke. Ara gestures non-verbally to follow, and Porkins follows her. They stop at a door close to a Medical Ward, and she tells Porkins to wait there. After what sounds like a pleasant, if rushed, conversation, Ara gestures for Lady Porkins to come in. As Porkins walks in, she takes the room in. It's quite small, yet spacious enough to fit around 20 full grown adults inside. There is simple enough furniture, and frost is covering the walls. No amount of describing the room can describe the feeling Porkins had for seeing Luke Skywalker right there. Sitting on a bed with a bowl in the lap of a tattered Pilot's outfit is Luke himself, dirty blond hair covered in snow and soot as he eats...something, it's not clear what it is, though it seems to be oatmeal. Luke turns his head, and says, "You must be the one who contacted me. You don't know how rare it is to see someone Force Sensitive.", to which Porkins only responds with, "I have a vague inkling. It's extraordinary to meet you, sir.". After some meek, yet spirited conversation, Porkins asks Luke of her favor, "Listen, Mr. Skywalker. Me and my allies were asked to come, or rather dragged here, to battle Darth Vader and his elite units, the 501st Legion. We need your help.". Luke looks up from his bowl of food, a look in his eye that denotes fear. "Vader? Did you just say...Listen, I want to help you, and I will. But I've seen what Vader can do. I've seen how he fights. And these soldiers? The 501st? I...I'll go out and help you. I'll fight Vader and his men, along with whatever Rebels we can. But...I don't know if we can even survive.", to which Porkins only replies with, "Even if we don't, it'll be worth it to fight for our lives.". Luke stands up, a limp seeming to develop as he gestures to follow. Luke tells her that he needs to get ready, and directs her to the Hanger so that they can continue. Porkins walks into the Hanger, waiting for her master to return.

Sir Intrigue, the British Rapping Soldier of Pain and Fire walks around the familiar sight of Echo Base with a smile on his face, nostalgia filling his thoughts. With happiness in his soul, Intrigue walks over to the Medical Ward, passing Porkins and Luke on the way there. Walking in, Sir Intrigue looks for remaining Medical Supplies. [9] He manages to find another portable Bacta Tank, along with other miscellaneous medical supplies. Sir Intrigue walks out to try to find a vehicle, or at least something that can substitute. [1] Sir Intrigue finds some Snowspeeders, and a riding Tauntaun. ...Well, he finds several destroyed Snowspeeders and a dead Tauntaun. Yeah, not good, but it was a chaotic battle.

NRDL, with Blaster in hand, decides to check how much ammo his Blaster has. [7=Resultx2=14] Checking the fuel cell "magazine", he sees 14 lights on the cell, indicating he has 14 shots before reloading. He then tries to see how many "magazines" are left. [D4. 3] He finds 3 extra "magazines", before quickly grabbing them. NRDL then finds Luke in another room, ready to greet the rest as they prepare. Luke then tells NRDL to tell the rest of them a plan. Luke, Han and Chewie (who they haven't seen yet), Ara, and 5 Rebels are going to join them in fighting Vader and the 501st. NRDL agrees to this, and walks back out to the Hanger, making sure to relay the info to everyone.

Hawk, arriving in a familiar location, heads towards the Armory. He looks around for a gun [9] and finds another Blaster Rifle, and decides to immediately check the "Magazine" size, and how many he can find. [6x3=18] [1] He finds one extra it's a Magazine. That's what I'm calling them. In the Magazine is 18 shots, and he finds an extra Magazine, though it's only one extra. Hawk then catches up with the Sir, making sure to make a point that his ribs are sticking into his chest.
---------
Echo Base, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Noon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

PirateJoe walks into the snowy field, closer to the FOB then any Wiki-Warrior, except BiggerFish. He waits for Izzik to arrive, and only a few seconds pass before Izzik charges back towards him, before stopping with his trident in hand. PirateJoe asks Izzik what he saw, if he saw anything. [10-2] Izzik doesn't say anything, but PirateJoe can still tell what he means. Izzik says that he saw the 501st Legion, but that the snow made it difficult to figure out their exact loadout, nor what they were planning. PirateJoe makes sure he didn't see Vader and that the entire 501st was there, which Izzik confirms. Joe tries to gauge how long they have before the next opportunity the 501st has to kill them. [3] He goes over what he knows of the 501st, and determines they'll go to Echo Base quite quickly. (3 or more/or less turns until next push on Echo Base. You can still attack them.)

DigitalDemon looks down, tearing up as he considers what Ara said. Despite this, he decides to stand up! Taking his Medkit, he sprints towards the wounded Stormtrooper, observing each and every snowflake as it softly collides with the ground. DigitalDemon turns the corner to see a Stormtrooper clutching his legs. As he turns his head to see Demon, he tries to shoot him only to drop his Blaster Pistol in pain. DigitalDemon says, "Don't. I'm here to help. I'm not like the others, who do what's right by taking lives. Let me see your legs.", causing the Stormtrooper to pause. Demon tries to aid the Stormtrooper. [5+2] Demon tries, to the best of his ability, to treat the Stormtrooper's Plasma Wound. While Demon does treat the burns, completely recovering can't happen yet, and it's unknown how much of his legs he can use after the fact. Demon relays this information, before asking the Stormtrooper's name. The Stormtrooper says, "KAL-2813. They've nicknamed me Karal.", to which Demon only smiles.

BiggerKhepri tries to check through the snow, trying to hunt down the 501st. [2-2] Despite being as careful as possible, the wind of the Snowstorm pushes him off of the cliff. While BiggerKhepri just flies back up, the storm still makes it difficult to check everything.

((Auto'd, 4 rounds of Inactivity)) UR throws his hands up in incredulity, before walking out to Jess Warner. "Hey! I never agreed to this, and I don't want this! Let me leave!", he says in a voice of half-way annoyance and concern. Jess Warner looks over the window, and says, "You wanna stop fighting? Go ahead! I'll see you off! before he pulls his 44. Magnum out! Before Jess can shoot and this moment still annoys me, a large, purple eyeball appears under UR! As UR disappears back onto the clean soil of Earth, he hears Jess screaming at someone, his voice as strained as Jess's sanity.
UR has been returned to Earth. As he's still alive, he can return.

((Auto'd)) Abstract stands guard near the entrance of Echo Base, his Fusion Cannons primed and ready.
------------
Beirus graciously takes a cup of Whiskey from Veronica, before noticing Jess is staring into Veronica's eyes. Jaws stares a hole into Jess's head, while Veronica merely smiles. Everyone merely relaxes, until UR calls out. After everything happened, Jess comes in and says, "Why?! Why did you do that?! I know you're a powerful entity, but no one interrupts me when I have someone in my sights!". Beirus thinks to himself, "Oh, yeah. I kinda forgot that Jess was, and is an unhinged maniac.". After the Operator threatens Jess's death, Veronica springs up to her feet. "Jess! Honey, stop! Just sit back down, it's okay. There will always be someone to kill, but I hate seeing you like this! We met when you were getting help, and I won't see you give up because of what happened with your father!", and at that, Jess turns around with a look of shock on his face. "M-my father? Vi...you said you wouldn't...". Veronica then says, "Jess, I lo-...adore you. I'm sorry, but I had to bring you out of this somehow. Sit down and calm down.". Jess wraps his arms around Veronica, before they sit down next to each other. At that, Beirus stands back up, a smile on his face before he looks outside. "Well, it looks like Luke has an alliance with them. Cool, can't wait to see how this goes. Also, it looks like there's a bit of a calm right now.", before turning around to see Logan concerned. When he turns, he sees the insane Jess Warner at his most vulnerable: being comforted by Veronica as he breathes slowly. Beirus reaches a hand out, but merely hears what sounds like a choked sob. To drive the point home, the Operator speaks up, answering the unasked question of "why?", "I only did that so that he could suffer in a situation that could fit him. You know...I haven't made you humans suffer in quite a while...we should fix that...
-----------
BSN: Yeah, you guys have said I'm a good writer. I'm actually proud of this entire turn. Make of that what you will. ...No joke, let's get to the meat.

Yeah, like I said. If you wanna come back, UR, you can. I was going to kill UR off, but I didn't. I don't know why, because Jess hasn't done anything in a while, but I think it's because it wouldn't be fair to just kill him off in a peaceful situation. Well, it's sheets time.

Right then, might as well treat you hawk.

Use the medipak on Hawk to fix his ribs.

Planning on saving the Bacta for more serious injuries. That is, mortal wounds. At least that's if Bacta is as strong as I remember. Been awhile since I've watched star wars. Then again, it does sort of take awhile, which isn't ideal in combat. Bah. If the medipak doesn't work we will see.

"Well, Karal... Doesn't look like you're gonna be healing any time soon. Try to get somewhere safe, do you have a base of sorts? Go there, if you can manage. I need to attend to the other wounded."

Go in search of other wounded, and heal them up. If nobody else is wounded, assist Karal in making his way to base.

Beirus: Keep drinking. Keep making commentary. Maybe make a few Star Wars jokes. Nicely ask the Operator why it hates humans so much, and why it can't just go inflict suffering upon some other species.

Porkins: Prepare for battle. Tell Luke that it is for the best to end Vader's reign of terror here and now. Use my acting to be more convincing.

((Isn't it Post-Bespin? He knows Vader is his father. Or at least has been told.))

Nope. The battle of Hoth was in the beginning of the film, this is a sort of Alternate Universe where the rebels are holding out so it's still around that time. Bespin's at the end, which is where he finds out with "No, I am your father.", followed by Episode 6. I'm not saying I'm better for knowing that. I'm just saying that that's how the film went.

The continuity Nazi strikes again!

EDIT: I know that I don't have to apologize, but I didn't mean to undermine your action. It's just that this conversation happened, and I jumped in.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Seven: Plan of Attack
Inside Echo Base (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Stepping forward into the hall, NRDL meets up with Luke inside, with everyone following along behind him. As he follows Luke to the meeting area, he first begins by running calculations in his head as practice, running several math problem to train his abilities. [5+2] While no true improvement happens, per say, he does appear to be improving at a steady pace. (50% Improvement, More Practice may increase Buff) At that, NRDL also uses his mathematics to run a simulation of the previous battle in his mind, in an attempt to better himself for the coming battle. [7+2] After running multiple rundowns of the fight through his mind, he builds up a strategy that could use to improve his team, should he wish to. (+2 to all rolls during the coming battle, whenever that should be.) NRDL then approaches Luke's location, which is a planning room with the rest of the Assault Group in it, NRDL seeing Ara along with Han, Chewie, and the Rebels. As NRDL gestures for the rest to follow, he walks into the room, prepared to help the fight.

Sir Intrigue, Medipack in hand, walks over to the beaten and battered Hawk, who is standing in place with a waiting expression on his face. Opening the Medipack, he finds a Scanner for diagnostic, a Hypospray, a Spray splint and Bandage, a Sonic Scalpel, Laser Cauterizer, Bone Stabilizer Compound, and a basic sample analyzer with a few sample vials. Pulling out his Bone Stabilizer, Sir Intrigue tries to apply it to Hawk. [3] Due to being unaware of how such a device works, he fails to activate it properly. He then decides to try again. [9] He activates it properly, mending Hawk's ribs properly. Hawk, who no longer feels ribs jutting into his, appreciates the gesture and says, "Thanks.". They both walk the way that NRDL went, talking along the way. They both reach the door to the War Room, before quickly entering to find NRDL and the Assault Team, along with a General in the Rebel Alliance, discussing battle plans.

Lady Porkins, practically a Padawan at this point, walks towards Luke's War Room with a bit of trepidation, as though she was meeting the President. She walks into the room to see Hawk, Sir Intrigue, and NRDL with the Assault Team, discussing plans. Lady walks towards, and stands next to, Luke. She then tells Luke, making sure to use her acting to the best degree [7+2] "Luke, it's best to end Vader's reign now. The war will end, we just have to fight. If he's here, then it's time to act.", to which Luke nods. He then speaks to the Assault Team, saying, "Alright. The current plan is simple. We're going to go with the standard ambush. We're going to sneak towards the camp in the snowfall, and attack at the specific moment they let their guard down. Is there anything to add.", to which NRDL stands over the holographic display, showing a rough outline of what the camp looks like. NRDL says, "After running simulations over and over again, I think I've found something to add to the plan. During the battle we've fought, I used my Sten to kill one of the Squads, yes, all 19 of them. By controlling my gun's fire, I was able to control specific shots. If we prime our shots, and fire all at once, we can eliminate a large amount of them at once.", to which everyone nods, until Han speaks up, saying, "Alright, sounds good, except we need to see to shoot, pal. What are we going to do about the snow?", to which NRDL only responds with asking if they have goggles, [4] only for Ara to say that most of the Goggles were either taken by now dead Rebels, or weren't there to begin with. After NRDL slams his fist into the base of the Holo-Projector, they all continue planning. [9] They finish up, considering NRDL's plan and Han's criticism, and break to notify the Wiki-Warriors. (+2 to all rolls for: Luke, Han, Chewbacca, Ara, and Rebels X5, as well as Hawk and Sir Intrigue for Duration: Next Battle)

Outside Echo Base,  (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

DigitalDemon picks Karal up onto his shoulders, before saying "Well, Karal... Doesn't look like you're gonna be healing any time soon. Try to get somewhere safe, do you have a base of sorts? Go there, if you can manage. I need to attend to the other wounded.", only not to see any more wounded. Keeping Karal onto his shoulders to help, Demon tries to reach the FOB, in order to bring Karal back safe. [10] He runs quite quickly, switching between SOUL colors to make it there faster. He reaches the FOB, and not only does he make it, but the Stormtroopers don't shoot. They merely watch as a striped shirt wearing Wiki-Warrior carries the injured Stormtrooper into a tent, drops him off after making sure it's a Medical Tent, and then ask around for any wounded. [7] The weirded out Stormtroopers decline, leading DigitalDemon to walk sit next to a heating device, none of the Stormtroopers really caring about him as they continue their plans.

PirateJoe stands there, thinking about Izzik's information for a few minutes before coming up with a quick plan. He focuses his magic, and concentrates as prepares his powers. Joe rips another hole into the dimensional void, and out pops another creature. This one appears quite stubby, at only 2'5" and a bit chubby as well, and has only one, squinty eye. His hands are sharp, dagger like stumps with a horn on his head. He's a copper color, and his name is Dretch. Joe gathers both Izzik and Dretch, and tells them to go to the FOB. Due to the sheer distance and the snowfall, they need to make an effort. [1] A large windfall actually pushes them back, causing all 3 of them to collapse onto the ground as they remain in Echo Base. As Izzik and Dretch stand up, Joe punches the ground before standing up as well. He decides to wait, stepping back to think a bit more.

TBF, remaining at the cliffside, is quickly growing more and more frustrated as he just can't find anything of note. Out of pure DETERMINATION, he tries, once again, to find the 501st, along with using a quick Firespell to provide some light to see them easier. [1+2] Despite the extra light, BiggerFish still can't really see through the Snowfall, as despite being manageable, it's still thick.

((Auto'd, One Turn Before Idle Boot)) Abstract walks into Echo Base, ready to roll.
-------
Beirus, upon seeing Jess's current...breakdown? I don't want to remember any of these moments, does feel some worry, but brushes it off as he continues to drink his Whiskey. He says, "Looks like they met Han. I wonder what'll happen when they find him empty inside. I mean, imagine his father. Sounds like a problem child. Eh? Eh? Yeah, Kylo Ren jokes.", before turning back to see Jess calming down and drinking his Whiskey with a few tears in his eyes. At this, Beirus walks towards the Operator and says, "Hey!". At this, the Operator, still in the Pilot's body, snaps his head towards Beirus with a face of what looks like vague interest and unsubtle, yet restrained, rage. Thinking quickly, Beirus says, "Hold on, hold on! Sorry. Um, can you please tell me why you hate us humans? I mean, just...why?". At this. the Operator stares before unbuckling his seatbelt and getting in Beirus's face. He then says, "You really want me to explain? No tricks involving darkness? None of our eyes staring into your soul? Alright. There's many reasons we've had in the Millennia I've spent walking the Earth. The biggest one? It's because you Humans are a waste. All life's a waste. In a pursuit of power, why would any one lesser then you matter? It'd all be easier just for you all to die. To cast your soul to the maw, the void. The expanse of fear and power. Where I'll be waiting. Where we'll be waiting. For you, for every human. For every bird in the sky, and fish in the sea. You know what? I don't need to resort to dialogue from cheap villains in your fiction and fantasy. I don't boast and expect people to fear and remember me. I take action. The only reason you 3 are alive is because you're necessary. Because those in control see fit to see you alive. I'm going to go have some fun. Nothing to interfere, wouldn't want James to freak out and shoot his pilot. Just gonna...take care of some stragglers.". At that, the Pilot suddenly slumps back into his chair, Beirus watching as the Pilot seemingly wakes up, eyeing his controls as he wonders just how long he's had this in Auto Pilot...

BSN: The more and more I type, the more and more I like!

I have nothing to say, really. I've already said thanks for sticking with this. I guess, just take all the info you can, and be ready for more to come? I don't know. Sheet time, I guess...

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Eight: Preparing an Ambush
Inside Echo Base (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

At the eve of a battle lays an Assault Team, and at the center of it...is non-combatant Princess Leia, but NRDL is still vital to the mission. NRDL continues practicing his skills by running more calculations in his head, advancing through several mathematics problems, each one a slight bit more difficult then the last. [2+2] While he does go through some of them with flying colors, he can't seem to beat some of the problems. Perhaps it's because of the stress of Warfare, perhaps it's the opposition, or perhaps it's the fact that the psychopath who brought them here is currently hovering over the place. NRDL looks down at his Thermal Detonator, the small, spherical grenade glowing with a red light to show it's ready, and swears that when he looks up, he sees something in the base, or rather, someone. They appear to look exactly like him, with some big differences. Their clothes appear singed, and their skin is black and burned, as if they had just been lit on fire or gotten too close to a bomb. NRDL rubs his eyes, and when he opens them again, he finds nothing there, no footsteps or anything in the vicinity. He holds his head as though he has a headache before going back to a meeting area that Luke set up for the Wiki-Warriors.

Sir Intrigue checks his gun, and finds he has 4 shots, a shot full of pellets having been previously fired at a Snowtrooper during the previous battle. He places another shell into the gun, and pulls the lever, loading the round in with a satisfying click. Intrigue then walks to the Armory, eyeing the entrance as he walks towards it. As soon as he walks in, he looks around for the very meager selection of weaponry. He looks around the racks for some armor. [6] He finds some standard Rebel gear, so it's pretty decent armor, but nothing that'll work long term in a heated battle without some repair and reinforcement. He then tries to look through a few pocket areas for some Thermal Detonators. [6] He finds a single Thermal Detonator after searching through several pockets. After he grabs it, he turns and leaves, heading to the Meeting Area Luke set up.

Hawk, the man with the drugs of power, searches around all of the areas he's allowed to go. The reason being that he's trying to find a melee weapon, something that works with his Buffout to maximize damage. [6] He finds a lead pipe, slightly bent at the tip due to having fallen and impacted the ground. Hawk picks it up and waves it around to get a feel for it. It's light, but good enough to do damage with. He picks it up, and heads to the Meeting Area.

Lady Porkins walks around Echo Base with a helpful grin on her face, her feet hitting the metal floor in a quickened pace. She walks around the base, trying to find anything she can help with. [4] While she does have things to do, they are not important to the ambush itself. From performing repairs on some rifles to patching up some soldiers, Lady Porkins tries to make the most of her menial tasks. [8] She does each task quite easily, rushing through them with the same precision as someone taking their time. Lady Porkins does her work, and then rushes to meet with Luke and the rest.

Abstract Traitor Hero, slapping himself awake, walks into the Meeting Area and begins playing music in an attempt to inspire them! [6] He plays a familiar tune (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL7brJgJKMg), and while it isn't an amped up song, it does lift the Assault Team's spirits, somewhat, and everyone gets ready for a battle.

Outside Echo Base, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Located at the F.O.B is the striped shirt wearing DigitalDemon, sitting in the cold snow floor of the camp as he watches the Snowtroopers go about preparations for battle. Some of them are reloading their weapons, others are fixing up their wounds, and 3 more are running back to the Snowtroopers. One of said runners says, "We found-", before panting. After catching his breath, he continues, "We found the Rebel scum, but they had help. One of them charged into Trigger, and killed him pretty much instantly. The rest of them are probably coming this way as we speak.". At that, the rest of the Snowtroopers begin scrambling to grab their guns and Thermal Detonators. Demon springs up to his feet before trying to convince them to simply leave. [7+2] "Everyone, stop! My allies, no matter who their allegiance is with, are only here to take down the 501st, an elite group that none of the humans under the Empire's pay roll can even join, and a Sith Lord who chokes his own men if they so much as let a Rebel out of this system. I understand loyalty, but blind trust in murderers and fiends of what's pretty much a forced dictatorship by a Sith Lord? Disgraceful. And even if you still support the Empire after what I just said, consider the fact that one of my allies charged into a man and killed him near instantly.". At that, everyone who is not 501st either runs off in fear or walks off in betrayal, their guns slinged to their arm as they leave. They walk off, in the snow, to a transport in the distance. With only the 501st still here, DigitalDemon looks for them. [10] He not only finds them, but they don't shoot him in the face immediately. Guess carrying dead weight makes you a hero. He finally manages to see their full loadout as well. The Black Armored one appears to be some sort of stealth class, with only a Vibroblade to his name. His armor is sleek, and while it doesn't mesh with the white snow, it fits a blackened area...like Echo Base. The Red Armored one is, in fact, a heavy. Carrying a plasma Gatling Gun, he also appear to have some kind of Rocket Launcher strapped to his back, and despite wearing an emotionless helmet, his body language carries rage filled glee, as though he wants to kill everything in sight. The Blue Armor is a scout of some kind, with his dual blasters. When Demon looks closer, he notices some kind of Jump or Jet Pack on his back, prepared to charge into battle. Finally, the Officer. He's wearing Clone War era Republic Armor, of a white color with red highlights across his visor, arms and legs. He's carrying exactly what the Wiki-Warriors saw: a Slugthrower Pistol, a Vibroblade, and a pair of Binocs. He's in front of the other 3, ready to fire at a moments notice. Demon merely stands there in the presence of the Vader's Fist faction, a headache forming as he looks at each pistol.

The triad of monsters known as PirateJoe, Izzik, and Dretch stand there in the snow of Echo Base, obviously annoyed at the fact that something as simple as wind stopped them dead in their tracks. The 3 of them wait for another opening, before charging back in for another ambush, or at least the preparedness for it. [2] They don't make it far, as the freezing temperature and the wind, their arch nemesis, prevents them from moving any closer. Still, they're on the right track.

If the Demigod known as BiggerKhepri had human feet, he would be stomping in violent frustration. He has tried peering to the snow, he's tried doing the same but with fire that time, and so it's time for the next step. BiggerKhepri does the obvious and flies up, circumventing the sight issue, but combining his sight with trying to keep out of his enemies sight. [3=Sneak] [9=Sight] BiggerKhepri flies right up to the camp, and sees the 501st for himself (see file://DigitalDemonII), but after seeing them, he lands...only for the Heavy to see the bug that he thinks BiggerKhepri is. He attempts to step on BiggerKhepri, his large boot heading right for him! [2-2 (Size) v 8+2 (Size)] BiggerKhepri flies out of the way, causing the Heavy to slip and fall. He gets an automatic counter, [10+2 (Fire Magic Bonus) v 8-2] and fires a burst of Fire Magic at the Heavy, causing him to be catapulted into the air. When he lands, everyone turns to see him. While still alive and in fighting condition, to say he's wounded is an understatement. His entire armor is breaking and warped into char-coiled black, and his gun was catapulted into the snow. As Demon covers his ears, another war begins...

Beirus sits back down, and looks over at Jess. He, once again, becomes calm and collected, though his voice is still quite shaky. Beirus goes over to the window and begins commentating. "Well, it looks like a battle has begun at Forward Operating Base 79-281 N, thank you Jess for showing me that on the camera. It appears that BiggerKhepri has made an enemy with the 501st. Hey, Jess. You looked at the mission details, any nicknames for them?", turning to Jess Warner himself. As Veronica holds his hand and Logan brings him another glass of Fenrir Whiskey, Jess drinks it before saying, "Uh, the sneaky one is ASA-2991, or Assassin, big sh-shocker there. The Heavy is BAN-9210 or Bantha, you know, those cow things from Tatooine? The Scout is NEA-3921 or Near, and the Officer is JAN-8210 or Janus.", to which Beirus only replies "Thanks, Captain Exposition.". Jess just nods his head before drinking. Beirus then looks out the window to try and find something interesting to comment on. [7] And he finds something kind of...terrifying, if you think about it. He sees the familiar outfit, hair, and piercing purple eyes of the Operator right there in the snowbank, but before Beirus can say anything, the Operator looks up and smiles at Beirus before disappearing.

Luke calls all of the Wiki Warriors in Echo Base to the Hangar, now designated as the Meeting Area, along with Han, Chewie, Ara, and the 5 Rebels. Sir Intrigue, Hawk, NRDL, and Porkins. The Assault Team heads out, ready to battle...

Okay I'm getting sick of this, if I win this I'm giving myself the wiki artificial on Aya forever and will no mater what lose it so I won't have to deal with this wind anymore, besides, I can just win again and again and get more wishes, like the one I really want...

Chapter Two: The Battle Of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Nine: The Iron Fist
Imperial F.O.B 79-281 N, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

 (http://Boss Battle Theme)

With fire in his soul and Fire Magic flowing through his exoskeleton, the only thing that describes BiggerKhepri is a Firestarter. As he flies around and focuses his powers, he looks out to Bantha, who is rising up from the snow, his body language denoting "I am going to shatter that bug's spine.". BiggerKhepri turns to Assassin, his Fire Magic ready to be released. As he focuses in on the black armored menace, he also focuses his Fire Magic and prepares another Fireball. [3+2 v 4-2] As BiggerKhepri flings the Fireball, Assassin throws his arms in front of him in defense. The Fireball launches with the Yellow Glow, and impacts Assassin's arms. Black armor burns blacker as bits and pieces break off of the soldier's armor as he flies back from the impact. When the Assassin lands, he checks his injuries. Aside from some burns, he also has shrapnel in his arms, the metal bits sticking out as small amounts of blood drip out of each wound. The Assassin gets up and grabs his Vibroblade from the ground before stepping forward slightly.

As the Demigod known as BiggerKhepri flies around and attacks the 501st, DigitalDemon stands there watching the battle unfold before his very eyes. As he steps forward, a red heart appears before him which swiftly turns purple. Underneath Demon's feet, 3 purple strings extend out in front of him for about 6 feet. Demon experimentally steps sideways and finds that he skips to the next string instead of walking. At that, Demon looks at every 501st member before everything turns black and white again...

Outside Echo Base, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Inside the snowstorm stands 3 people-well, one person and two demons. As PirateJoe quietly rages in his mind, Izzik and Dretch wait patiently for their master. Joe eventually gestures out and orders them to run for it. [4] While they don't exactly make it to the camp, they make it to a hill close by. The three of them crouch near the white slope, in a position to have some last minute planning before they get to a specific position to attack.

As the Assault Team walks out of Echo Base, NRDL gets an idea in his head. As the Wiki-Warrior walks to his comrade Abstract, and orders him to play a specific song when they get to the camp. After Abstract nods his head, NRDL pulls his Blaster Rifle out and runs towards the camp. [2] NRDL charges forth...before being pushed back by the snowfall. NRDL looks up to the snow with an annoyed expression on his face, each and every snowflake seemingly mocking him as they fall to the soft snow ground.

Stepping up to the quite miffed NRDL, Sir Intrigue picks his friend up onto his feet. As the snowfall blankets the already covered ground, Sir Intrigue and NRDL try to walk through the snow to the F.O.B. [6] They both make it into the snowfall, their snowsuits getting covered with snowflakes. While they don't make it to the camp or the hill, it's merely so that they can wait for Hawk and the rest of the team.

Hawk steps forward as well, his shoes hitting the snow as he walks towards NRDL and Sir Intrigue. By waiting and walking at the right time, Hawk makes it to his Wiki-Warrior allies, the 3 of them making light conversation as they continue the way to the camp. [4] They only make it a bit farther before Ara calls out, telling the 3 to wait for the rest. Hawk throws his hands up in annoyed incredulity, Sir Intrigue merely says, "Alright!", and NRDL throws up a quick thumbs up as they wait for their allies.

Lady Porkins, the newest Padawan, runs out to her allies as she uses the Force to sense the locations of each enemy. [2] Unfortunately, it appears something is preventing a clear read out in the Force. Whether it's the Force itself, or something outside of the Force's realm is unknown, but Lady Porkins makes it to the other Wiki-Warriors in quite an excellent fashion. They walk forward as well. [5] They make it to the same hill as PirateJoe, and they even see the Wiki-Warrior and his demon allies crouched by the hill. As they all wait for the rest, they sit down and prepare a plan.

((Auto'd)) Abstract makes it to the hill, but they don't progress any further.

Upon seeing the Operator leaving the Helicopter, Beirus does nothing but simply grabs another cup of Fenrir Whiskey and quickly chugs some of it, a hiccup quickly emerging before he looks out. As he looks out to the F.O.B, he begins his commentary back up. "So, here at Forward Operating Base 79-281 N, a Beetle Demigod is battling the 501st Legion in the snow as DigitalDemon tries to figure out what's going on! BiggerFish has dealt quite the blow to Assassin, or ASA-2991, but the 501st can turn the tide at any minute. Also, the Operator's loose and will probably destroy everything because of who and what he or it is.", to which Jess picks his head up. He scrambles to a window and looks for anything that isn't supposed to be there. [3] He can't see the Operator or anything like it anywhere, which was worse then me finding him, because he could have been anywhere. And yet, he was closer then I thought. As he sits back down next to Veronica, Beirus can hear a combination of conversation about Pop Culture, flirting, and Logan's reaction to his sister's hand in said flirting. Beirus chuckles as he looks back outside, his eyes scanning the camp as he looks out to the battle. While looking, he ponders using his Aether Manipulation and Alchemy for Immortality. [7+2+2] Without using it at the moment, since it would be wasteful to use before being in a competition, but he has it figured out. So, he decides to use it later on. Basically, he will Alchemically create a capsule, and then use the Aether Manipulation to bind his soul to it...A Phylactery? What's another one?

The Assassin, his arms smoking and blackened, stumbles forward before grabbing his Vibroblade. He then charges towards the insect known as BiggerKhepri, his voice silent as he runs towards the Demigod. [6+2-2 (Localized Damage: Arms) v 3+2 (Size)] The Vibroblade scratches along his shell, the exoskeleton gaining a nasty scratch as he flies away from the Assassin.

Bantha, upon standing up and making his intent to rip BiggerKhepri's antennae out, rushes towards his Gatling Gun and picks it up, working through the pain as he lifts it up. He aims his Gatling Gun at the Beetle Demigod, his laughter echoing through the hills. [10 v 3+2] BiggerKhepri flies towards Bantha, only for 2 Plasma Shots out of 10 to hit his Beetle underside. While BiggerKhepri can regenerate, a combination of being close to the Magical Power Surge, and the placement of both shots causes BiggerKhepri to have to try to keep his form. [4] It didn't quite matter that it ran out too soon, as BiggerKhepri stores enough magic to keep his Beetle form going for one last burst anyway.

Near jets over to BiggerKhepri as he tries to fly up, and fires both blasters at him! [1 v 4+2] [5 v 6+2] The first blaster seemingly jams, a backlog of Plasma preventing it's fire. The second one is successfully fired, but the shot doesn't hit BiggerKhepri, who is slowly regenerating.

Janus turns to DigitalDemon, and walks over as though not wishing to get into the fight. He says, "Who are you? Are you with the insect?", while pointing his blaster at Demon's body.

The entire Assault Team: Luke, Han, Chewie, Ara, and the Rebels all make it to the Wiki-Warriors position and catch the battle in progress. The Assault Team and PirateJoe all try to get closer to the Camp. [3+2] While they get to the camp, they have to wait for the right time to strike due to the snowstorm and the battle itself.

I'm keeping my promise to James, or "Jessie" as he calls himself after...well, that's not important. But...soon, someone's going to see our true power. And when they die, they'll see what the true powers that be really are...

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Ten: Assault on Forward Operating Base 79-281 N
Imperial F.O.B 79-281 N, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Boss Battle Theme! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8)

Suddenly, the shaky fingers of DigitalDemon shoot up, hanging the air as he speaks. "Wait, we can talk this out!", he says in a panicked voice, the familiar Undertale UI appearing back in the man's vision as he tries his hardest to prevent death, whether it's his own or not.
>ACT: 501st: Appeal to Humanity
*You attempt to appeal to the 501st's human side rather then their clone births, [10+2 v 3]
*You bear witness to every 501st member lowering either their aim, or just ceasing to fire as you call out to their human origins.
*As they remember Jango Fett and his life, even Janus holsters his sidearm, causing a smile to form on your face.
>ACT: 501st: Make Peace
*You try to make the 501st cease fire by being there, being positive, and showing them a new lease on life, [6+2 v 3-2 (Crit Success Friendship)]
*As you plead with them to stop firing, they comply with human responses, rather then callsigns and war.
>MERCY: 501st
*BATTLE WON! 0 EXP and 5 GP awarded.

BiggerKhepri watches in proud and relieved shock as three of the four members of the Vader's Fist faction holster their weapons with noticeably calmer body language, their previous eagerness to fight giving way to human emotion as though broken out of brainwashing. The only one who seems like they're not happy about the turn of events is Bantha, and that's only because of the fact that, from what BiggerKhepri can tell, he's always eager for conflict. After feeling the now healed wounds drain his magic, BiggerKhepri lands and quickly changes back to human form, before feeling something wet covering his clothes near his stomach, making it apparent that Khepri's form won't heal his human wounds unless he siphons magic in that way. Feeling drained, he merely sits down. Thanks to Demon, the 501st won't attack the two present company, but if anyone else attacks, or Fish and Demon break their trusts, he feels that it will be a different story to those who would commit such an assault...

Rather then charging into the now calm camp, the strategic Wiki-Warrior named NRDL stays crouched in place, staring into the snow covered camp with a look of deep thought etched upon his face. NRDL crouches beside a hill as he tries to use his mathematics skills to figure out a way to circumvent the snowstorm's blinding effect, and also use their environment to the highest use. [2+2] As NRDL thinks and ponders, his theories continue to be shot down. Whenever he comes up with something, the snowstorm changes slightly with the wind. While he has a sound theory and how to work the storm, he needs to wait to see if it changes any before he can put it to action.

As NRDL ponders how to circumvent mother nature, the increasingly impatient PirateJoe is itching to get into combat, his hands beginning to shake with familiar adrenaline as he hovers his hand over a rapier. As he does so, he swears he can see Veronica out of the corner of his eye, but when he turns his head, she vanishes from being seen. As PirateJoe pulls his rapier out, he opens a small portal, trying to make sure to place it in a way that no one can see it. [8] Luckily, he places it behind Assassin, the purple glow going unseen as no one is paying attention to potential threats. Joe thrusts his Rapier through the portal, pushing it through with expert style. [4+2 v 2-2 (Caught Unawares, Crit Fail=No Buffs added)] Suddenly, a Rapier thrusts through Assassin's throat, piercing several important arteries in the process. Assassin drops to the ground, obviously not dead as he groans from the pain and futilely grabs at his wound, gushing like a blood fountain as it paints the white snow crimson. Despite this, the sheer volume of blood coupled with the rest of his limbs twitching as though he has no control over his body means that he is quite close to death anyway.

With PirateJoe's plan of near instant death by stabbing in place, Sir Intrigue decides that whatever plan he has, he needs to do it at that moment. He decides on something simple, yet effective, and quickly puts it into action. He grabs his Thermal Detonator and activates it, a telltale red glow casting light on his hands, before he chucks it over the hill at the heaviest armored 501st member, which would be Bantha. [2-2 v 9+2 (Armor Bonus)] After the results of his throw, Sir Intrigue quickly guesses that the only reason why BiggerFish injured Bantha was because magic can circumvent most armors. As the Detonator flies through the air, Bantha turns from his dying comrade to the flying explosive and quickly bats it away, causing it to go towards Sir Intrigue at speed fast enough that Sir Intrigue has a small window to even dodge it! [3 v 8] Sir Intrigue dodges the Detonator, an explosion going behind him, before he grabs his AA-12 and prepares his attack. Bantha tries to find his attacker, obviously not seeing him despite batting a grenade to him. [9] He turns his head and sees Sir Intrigue pull out his AA-12, causing Bantha to grab his Minigun. The assault has begun.

The currently stealthy assault causes Hawk to grin again, his teeth bared as he grabs his Blaster Rifle. After briefly adjusting his sights, he levels his Rifle at Bantha who is quickly rearing to fire at Sir Intrigue. [4-2 (Sight) v 7+2] As Hawk fires his ionized plasma at Bantha, the snowstorm and the armor combined means that the shot doesn't even hit, Bantha not focusing on him as he charges on Sir Intrigue's position. Taking this as an opportunity, Hawk downs more Buffout and reaches for his wrench and lead pipe. As soon as he grabs both of his melee weapons, the drugs kick in, causing Hawk to laugh maniacally before he charges right for Bantha with murderous intent. [9+2 v 6+3 (Armor)] [3+2 v 7+3] Hawk first uses his wrench, it's blow only glancing off of Bantha's helmet with an unsatisfying *plink* before bouncing off of the armor of Bantha. As Bantha turns, he ducks a lead pipe before throwing his fist at Hawk! [9 v 8+2] Bantha, to quick dismay, finds that Hawk's armor is quite tough as he hits the chestpiece only to rear his hand out in pain, Hawk merely shrugging getting into a boxing stance, ready to fight Bantha.

Upon seeing the fighting start in glorious fashion, Lady Porkins tries to remain unseen to avoid the conflict. [6] While she swears Near saw her, she's also sure that it was only a glance, an incidental look into a sea of chaos. Due to this, Lady Porkins stays down, and ceases to make noise, carefully avoiding line of sight as she crawls away.

((Auto'd, 2 turns idle)) ATH, however, loudly plays Flight of the Valkyries (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YOYlgvI1uE) before aiming a Fusion Cannon at Janus. [9+2 v 6+2] Janus gets his left side grazed by a Fusion Cannon, clutching it as he collapses onto his knees.

Beirus excitedly jumps up and down as he realizes that there's an actual battle going on! "Finally! It looks like the F.O.B. is currently being assaulted by the Wiki-Warriors! Assassin's dying, and Bantha's trying to kill everyone himself, but all in all, it's going to become a warzone!", happy as can be. As soon as he finishes, however, he takes another sip of drink before looking for...a certain little problem. [10-2] Looking in the snowfall, he sees the familiar doctor-like visage of the Operator staring into the battle, looking up at both the sun and the Helicopter before beginning to walk closer to the camp. It's obvious that he...it is planning something. Beirus turns back to see Jess sitting with his drink, Veronica relaxed into her seat with a hand around Jess's drinking her whiskey, and Logan seemingly nervous at something. Beirus turns to the window, waiting to see just what happens...

Bantha slings his Minigun to his back before adopting his own MMA stance, quickly throwing a punch to Hawk's head! [4 v 5+2] Hawk dodges the punch, the only contact being a glancing blow to the helmet before he pushes Bantha back.

Near tries to find any Wiki-Warriors in cover, prepping his Jetpack in case he sees one. [9-2] He finds the same Wiki-Warrior Bantha saw, Sir Intrigue, and jets towards him. He lands on Sir Intrigue's snowhill before leveling both Blaster Pistols at him. [5 v 5] Sir Intrigue dodges both shots with ease, and they both level their guns at eachother.

Janus grabs both DigitalDemon and BiggerFish and chuck them into a tent, though whether for cover or as prisoners is unknown. Janus then tries to boost morale. [1+2] He weaves a tale on how, if they try hard enough, Assassin may just live...which lessens Morale, because Assassin is currently gurgling blood and twitching. Near and Bantha stay how they are, but only because Assassin's injury did enough on it's own.

A blue light appears as Luke appears and charges towards Near, readying his grip like he practiced for maximum effect. [10+2 v 1] As the Lightsaber passes through Near's neck, Sir Intrigue looks on in either awe or shock as Near's head flies off of his body before disgracefully landing in the snow. Luke then does a gesture, as a silent signal to the other Rebels.
Boss Killed! Luke is an NPC, and cannot gain any Articles!

Han springs his head up and points his pistol at Janus, before squeezing the trigger shooting a red beam of Plasma at him. [3 v 5] Janus dodges the shot, before heading into the tent as cover.

Chewie runs in after Han, before firing his Bowcaster into the tent. [3 v 10] Chewie's shot goes off center, and Janus pokes his head out to shoot back at them! [3 v 1] A Slugthrower round goes through Chewie's left arm, causing him to drop to cover and howl in pain as drips of blood hit the snow.

Ara charges in and levels her blaster at Bantha. [1 v 7] Another backlog of Plasma prevents her from shooting, causing her to drop to cover to clear it.

The Rebels charge in, and due to being the last ones in battle, they calm down and think back to the plan before all firing at Bantha. [6+2 v 7] Bantha feels plasma graze his left arm, causing him to turn to the Rebels before focusing back on Hawk.

Izzik and Dretch charge towards Bantha, ready to begin their assault. [5 v 7] [5+2 v 3] Izzik thrusts his spear out, before Bantha catches it and pushes him back. Dretch then scratches at Bantha, and due to his magical properties, Bantha gets tripped up, ready to be attacked by anyone.

We wait in the snow, carefully looking over the battle with a simple gaze. As we wave purple flame through Bolton's fingers, we can swear we hear James sipping his drink, waiting for the inevitable... Help me.

BSN: Decided to make the turn anyway. I have to start sleeping...

Alright, because I'm a fraud honest, I'll admit it. I handwaved the Rebels being calm enough to think to the plan. I hate handwaving about as much as I hate double negatives, but I have a reason. It's not the best reason, but it's a reason. You see, I was typing up Ara's action when I realized I forgot it, and by the time I realized...just look up. I typed out everyone's turn, and if I had to retype everything, I'd either start playing Garry's Mod to procrastinate, or pass out from being tired, because I can't sleep, apparently. I'm really sorry, next turn I'll include the buff. I hope you guys aren't too upset at me for my idiocy.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Eleven: Continued Assault
Imperial F.O.B 79-281 N, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Chapter Two Boss Theme! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8)

Feeling the cold snow crunch and break under his body weight provides an odd comfort for DigitalDemon, but it's not enough. The calm feeling of the snow in his fingers ceases to amuse as blaster fire and the calm hum of a Lightsaber set everyone on edge. Demon stands up and speaks to Janus with a calm, yet stern voice, attempting to tap into his powers of Friendship to assist them. "They won't stop coming. You're going to have to run.", [6+2] which makes Janus turn towards him with what appears to be a slump. Despite the blaster fire hitting near the tent, Janus doesn't seem focused on it, his head turned to Demon's as though the simple sentence rocked the Officer. At that, Janus tries to convince his men to run at that moment. [7+2] "Men! We need to leave Hoth now. We need to get reinforcements, and Hoth has it's defenders! We are leaving.", Janus yells out with a voice of urgency. He prepares to flee, his mind clearing up as he prepares to leave the planet...

As blaster fire hits the snow and the hum of Luke's Lightsaber pierces the air and provides a slightly calming sound, NRDL focuses back on the plan, his Blaster Rifle weighing on his back. He picks his Blaster Rifle up and aims down it's sights, working in his mathematics to work in factors like distance, and also using his strategy to fight back. [6+2+2 v 7+2] NRDL levels his Rifle at Bantha's back, and quickly pulls the trigger, firing a red Plasma shot at him. He hits his back glancingly, causing Bantha to turn to NRDL's position, still obviously enraged.

Suddenly, what sounds like "KARMA" is yelled out at an ear piercing volume, causing everyone to stop in place as though sheer fear has anchored their feet to the ground. ((0:04-0:06 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVip9viIacg))) PirateJoe's arm glows an aura of sickly orange and yellow as he his eyes begin glowing a deep crimson, his mouth latched open like a snake's jaw as he yells. He suddenly breaks into a terrifyingly fast sprint with his magically charged arm thrown forward, the snow kicking up like a detonated grenade as he runs towards Bantha. [9 v 7] Despite how slight everything was, the successful contact still sweeps Bantha up in a frightening whirlwind of body parts as they rush through, a quick toss of his legs allowing PirateJoe to try to turn to the planning Janus. [10 v 8] A sudden impact smacks Janus off of his feet, causing him to roll back into the tent and hit the ground with the unsatisfying sound of a helmet impacting snow. As Joe comes to a dead stop, he raises Bantha high in the air before bringing him down quickly, the same orange and yellow glow enveloping the ground in front of Joe, bathing it in an intimidating light. Joe slams Bantha into the snow, smashing his hostage's body into the hard ground under the soft, white blanket. Joe can hear bones breaking, the sound of snapping and fracturing giving a sick air to the assault. As he picks Bantha up, he sees that one of Bantha's arms and one of his legs is dangling limply, with crimson blood coating some of the armor as though the skin has snapped apart on impact. The normally violent Bantha begins yelling, his unharmed right arm and right leg shaking violently as Joe prepares another assault...

As the snow around him settles, BiggerFish places a hand to his stomach as he attempts to focus. As he feels the wet, crimson blood coat his fingers, he feels a stinging sensation develop in his body. Gasping in pain and discomfort, the Wiki-Warrior picks himself up by gripping a nearby medical bed, rising to his feet with shaky breath as he tries to calm his nerves. After rising back upon bipedal feet, he attempts to tear off some of his clothing to use as bandages, gripping loose bits of his outfit under the Snowsuit with his hands still shaking. [7] He manages to weakly tear off enough cloth to use as bandages, each strip and strand lightly coated with blood as he looks at the reminder that he's bleeding. He then attempts to bandage his wounds, still gasping and moaning in pain. [4] He gets a few of the strips around his body, but his contact becomes too rough, leading to him shouting in pain as he tears the strips from his body. Despite this, he feels, from the amount of blood spilled, that he still has some time before his wounds will kill him. Placing the strips by his wounds, he tries to heal himself again, blood still on his fingertips as he tries to help himself. [1] Suddenly, his hand shakes into his wound, causing his blood loss to accelerate. As he drops his makeshift bandages onto the ground, he retches from the pain before sitting on the medical bed, heavily breathing as the color in his vision begins fading. As he sits, he looks out into the battle to see someone who wasn't anywhere near here. She's wearing a brown jacket over an accented navy blue shirt, dark brown pants and sneakers. Her brown hair is in a ponytail asymmetrically placed to the right of her head, with black framed glasses over brown eyes. BiggerFish's only reaction to seeing her is to weakly and under his breath say "A...Abigail?", as even with the past hallucinations, the sheer lucidity and vividness of her appearance leaves BiggerFish unsure. As he sits and tries to figure things out, his vision continues deteriorating into a gray sepia as he clutches his head in his hand.

As the prior events happen in sequence, an insane laughter pours out of Hawk's lips as he grips his wrench and pipe in his hands, the only description of his sick, impish grin that fits is only one word..."Insane." No matter what the drugs are doing to his mind, Hawk can't deny their power, and with the strategy in place, he can only admit that his chances of eliminating the 501st are amazingly high. As he looks for Bantha, the thing he sees is Bantha being broken as he gets slammed into the snowy ground, leading him to want a new target, someone to attack. He turns his head to the left slightly, and sees Janus preparing to leave, obviously rearing to leave as he looks for a free moment to run. Hawk goes into a sprint, his feet running to the point where, in mere seconds, he's right in front of Janus without giving him a chance! [9+2+2 v 7+2] Hawk lets his left hand free to fly into Janus's head, throwing his wrench out which gets stopped by the metal helmet with a much more satisfying crack. The helmet slams apart, and while it prevents damage, pieces upon pieces of broken helmet hit the ground as Janus gets rocked off his feet. Hawk kneels next to Janus, and holds him down before raising the lead pipe into the air. [10+2+2 v 8=Instant Crit Kill] As Hawk slams the lead pipe into Janus's head over and over again, the screams of pain quickly silence, it's replacement coming in the form of cracking bones hitting the air. After Hawk ceases his assault, he looks down at the mangled corpse of Janus, blood and pieces of brain splattered about. As Hawk looks up, he sees Demon look at what just happened with shock. Hawk merely stands back up, basking in the reward of his kill.
Boss Killed! Hawk gets:
http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/Triborg: +Ally: Triborg
As he basks, he looks up to see a brilliant purple light envelop a small quadrant in the sky, and when it disappears, a human like shape slams into the ground, kicking up snow. When it stands up, it appears to be a cybernetic human, grey with a blue light on it's chest. As it steps forward, it's body changes color, and it's head changes form. It cycles through red, yellow, black, and blue before returning to it's grey color, each form cycling through powers like mounted flamthrowers, bombs, smoke and a harpoon, and even ice grenades. When the cyborg steps in front of Hawk, it kneels wordlessly, bowing a head at the one human it'll listen to...

At all of this chaos, Sir Intrigue stands tall. As he stands up from his cover, he sees Bantha being raised over the head of PirateJoe, squirming and shaking as he yells out. Stepping towards PirateJoe with the AA-12 slung over the shoulder, Sir Intrigue steps up to Bantha, observing the fact that other then the right arm and leg, the helmet was cracked slightly, though not enough to be considered compromised. Placing the barrel up to Bantha's head, Sir Intrigue prepares to fire. [10+2+2 v 6=Instant Crit Kill] As Sir Intrigue fires the gun into Bantha's head, each of every inch of the round fired splits Bantha's head apart. With just one shot, Bantha's head explodes into a clear red mist, the corpse hanging limply in Joe's hands. PirateJoe lets him go, causing the body to fall unceremoniously.
Boss Killed! Sir "Person" Intrigue gets:
http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Vortigaunt: +Ability: Powers of the Xen Borderworld
Sir Intrigue steps back, before feeling a powerful magic flow through him as though it were blood in his veins. When he casts it, he finds two different kinds of lightning emerge from his hands. A sickly green one, which he casts on Bantha's corpse. When it impacts, Bantha's corpse begin burning slightly, smoke emerging from the wounds he develops. The second is a blue lightning, which Sir Intrigue, on intuition, believes to be healing in nature. At that, Sir Intrigue takes a step back, looking down at his hands as he considers what he can do with this.

With the battle pretty much over, Lady Porkins doesn't quite know what to do, until she realizes something. She stands to her feet before connecting to the Force, trying to find Darth Vader. [10] She not only finds him, but she gets a clear picture of everything near him. He appears to be in Echo Base...surrounded by burning corpses, their scarred flesh burning in her mind. They burn with a purple flame, a sickened pit forming in Porkins's stomach as she stares at everything. Her Force vision shifts to outside Echo Base, catching that it's been blown apart, with Rebel bodies around the place. The vision shifts to a man in the snow, his appearance seeming like a Doctor. When he turns to where she's looking, however, all she sees in his eyes is a horrific purple light staring into her soul. The person then says, "I can see you, Lady. I'll see you soon...", sending Porkins out of her vision. As she collapses to her knees, she tries to figure out what to tell the rest.

Assassin bleeds out, the shaking stopping as he dies....
Boss Killed! PirateJoe gets:
http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_the_Hedgehog: +Item: Superspeed Skates, +Item: Green Chaos Emerald, +Ability: Chaos Control
PirateJoe, after letting go of Bantha, steps forward only to find new shoes on his feet and a green crystal in his hand. At that, he attempts to use the crystal, only to find that it teleports him around. Satisfied, he places the Chaos Emerald into his pocket, and walks into the center of the F.O.B, prepared to go to wherever Vader is.

Beirus looks at the window in shock, before saying, "The battle is over! The battle is over! Oh my God, that is...Okay, so Sir Intrigue has slain Bantha, Joe has slain Marksman and Assassin, Hawk has killed Janus, and...Luke has killed Near! Now, let's see what else...", before trailing off. He looks to Echo Base to find it exploded and on fire...on purple fire. Beirus knows the Operator did this on instinct alone, by still looks for him. [4] He can't see him anywhere, the enigmatic monster having disappeared from sight. He sits back down, the other 3 seemingly recognizing what happened as Logan and Veronica sit in an uncomfortable silence. Jess, on the other hand, seems to be in some sort of murderous trance, staring off into space with that same frightening grin...

"Seemed a bit unnecessary to draw things out like that. Who knows what could have snuck up on you in the time it'd take to finish him off." Intrigue points at Assassin's corpse.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Twelve: Infighting Before the Violent Storm
Imperial F.O.B 79-281 N, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Afternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Shaking and gasping overcomes BiggerFish's form, chilled breath exiting his lips as he sits on the bed. Brushing off the apparent hallucination of a girl that has long since vanished, he picks the leather and cloth strips of clothing up to his face, eyeing the crimson liquid as it drips off of the makeshift bandages and onto the snow ground. Placing the cloth and leather close to his stomach, he attempts to wrap it around himself to stop the wound's bleeding. [7] Carefully wrapping the leather around his body, BiggerFish finally sighs in relief as he can only barely feel the blood leave his body, and even then he can tell that it's being stopped by torn clothing. As BiggerFish takes a careful step to his feet, he looks up to see that the vision of Abigail was, in fact, just a hallucination, as she had disappeared from sight. Fish merely sighs in frustration before walking out of the tent, his hands still shaking slightly as he looks up to the numerous corpses of his enemies strewn around the F.O.B, Janus especially sticking out in his mind as particularly gruesome. Taking a step back a bit, he looks to the sky, eyeing each snowflake as it falls to the ground, thankfully slowing down.

The sound of what appears to be time and space warping fills the air, and green light envelops several points at the camp, sending PirateJoe several places in the camp as he searches for Darth Vader with newfound purpose. [2] Unfortunately, despite his focus, something is throwing him off. A frustration in the battle, something that messed with his plans. Joe looks to his right, and finds Sir Intrigue looking around for something, his concentration on something else. Joe approaches Sir Intrigue, and clears his throat for emphasis, before saying, "That was my kill Person...", making a point to raise his voice to make sure Sir Intrigue hears him.

One would think all of the blood and gore would demoralize the men of the battle, but despite the crimson liquid poured out onto the ground, NRDL only barely flinches, a distant memory preventing him from considering the sight horrific. NRDL wades through the snow, his footsteps providing a soothing crunch under his weight as he walks around the camp, searching for the Sith Lord formerly known as Anakin Skywalker. [4] While peeking in tents, searching in the snowstorm, and even wading through the ground to check under the soft, white blankets of snow, NRDL realizes that if Vader were even near the camp, he would have shown up at around Near's death. Bowing his head, NRDL walks next to BiggerFish, checking the man to make sure he's alright, before he walks back close to Luke, prepared to leave at a moment's notice.

Lady Porkins merely stands there, the vision replaying in her head over and over in her head as if it were the worst memory of her past. With her feet planted still on the snow-covered ground and her heart beating in a painful rhythm, she turns back to the group with an expression of fear and confusion. She walks back to the group with extreme trepidation, her footsteps creating an atmosphere of discomfort as they all turn to her. "Guys...I-I know where Vader is...the Force has shown me. He...he's at Echo Base.", to which everyone turns to her with what appears to be a similar worry. "Echo Base has been st-stormed and destroyed by...something, I don't kn-know what it is. I...", before she stops and looks to the ground. Everyone looks on in horror, unsure of what their next move should be, as though the news itself has removed all willingness to fight back. Porkins bows her head, her expression unreadable but seeming to be saddened.

It's not just Porkins who's showing their sadness and fear, however. Standing unsure of what's to come is Sir Intrigue, the rapper and Wiki-Warrior merely standing still as he absorbs the information with a crestfallen expression. He quickly shakes it off, a cold shiver running down his spine as he turns his head to PirateJoe. "Seemed a bit unnecessary to draw things out like that. Who knows what could have snuck up on you in the time it'd take to finish him off.", he says with a voice similar to that of someone who just heard bad ne-oh. Turning back to the group, he inspects his AA-12 and cleans blood and brain matter off of it, wiping his hands of the crimson liquid quickly.

Suddenly, something snaps inside of DigitalDemon. The voice in his head grows louder and louder, and his vision slowly goes red, all he can see being a deep crimson. He picks up his handball, his body wavering like his creed of justice and mercy, and aims...right for the goal. [9-1 v 6] Hawk turns his head, only to see a red ball slam into his face at high speed, causing Hawk to fall to the ground hard. As he gets up, he feels his face only to find his nose snapped out of place, blood pouring out of his nostrils and out of scratches in the bridge. Hawk gets to his feet, gesturing to Triborg to prepare for an assault.

AbstractTraitorHero turns his white MEKA to the sudden assault of Hawk, which also makes everyone else turn to the attack. As everyone looks at Hawk's bleeding nose, ATH speeds towards him, and points a gun at Demon, not pulling the trigger at the moment. "Demon, I don't know what just happened, but this needs to sto-", before being stopped by a hand raised to the sky, it's fingers outstretched and covered in blood.

Hawk clutches his nose, silently cursing his body as he feels his high coming down, his power lessening back down despite all he wants to do. Despite this, he clenches his other fist in the air, causing Triborg to transform into a black and red appearance: Smoke. "It's quite alright, Abstract. I have this. Murderbot, take care of this fool. I'll start it off, though.", to which Triborg says, "My designate in the Cyber Initiative is not Murderb-", only for Hawk to wave him off. Hawk then grabs his wrench and charges towards Demon, his weapon flying free as it heads towards Demon. [2 v 1] The wrench lightly glances off of Demon's head, only rattling him. A rattle is enough for Triborg, however...

[1 v 8] As Demon recovers from the stun Hawk gave him, a trident attached to a mechanical chain flies towards him, it's prongs clean and free of both blood and rust. Demon ducks the trident, rolling out of the tent quickly to avoid another assault. DigitalDemon then switches his SOUL from Red to Purple, the familiar strings appearing under his feet as he gets ready for the assault.

Beirus stares at the moniter overseeing Echo Base with an expression of shock like he just saw just how much money Jess makes. I use that analogy a bit, but do you know how much $1,000,000 is in Yen? He then looks towards the F.O.B. with the exact same slack jawed look. "D-DigitalDemon just broke Hawk's nose, and Hawk and Triborg are retaliating! I would be ecstatic, but there's currently a near omnipotent being who hates humans, yet seems to like our souls. So, you know, that kinda sucks.", he commentates, before snapping his fingers. He focuses his fingers together into a clasped hand, and tries to manipulate reality to find the Operator's location, his powers focusing in to attempt find the being. [8+2] He not only finds the Operator's bio signature, but as he focuses in, he decides to teleport directly to the being in question, to get answers. Beirus opens the Helicopter doors, and creates a Rift: a tear in space-time that can be used to cross universes and even timelines. Passing through it, Beirus suddenly feels his body being pulled through the Rift, all of the feeling in his body vanishing before quickly reappearing in blinding pain before being replaced with blinding pleasure, the Rift causing his mind to warp in space-time.

Reappearing through, Beirus exits the Rift and lands somewhere, his eyes closed as he lays on his back. Opening his eyes, he sees something he never thought he would ever see. The anomaly in question appears to be a large, purple hole in space-time, unlike a Rift in that it appears to be tearing parts of the sky apart. Also unlike a Rift, and the thing that scares Beirus, is that there appear to be souls going into the tear, all of them screaming as they're absorbed into it. Staring gaped mouth at the tear, he tears away from it to see everything else. The sky itself is pitch black, the stars being replaced with emptiness as though all of them went out millennia ago. The place Beirus is appears to be some sort of ruins: they're round and made of stone, with 5 pillars erected high up as though they were once an important building. The ground around it appears to be snowy, with the white blankets seeming...different somehow. Perhaps it's the place he's at, but it seems like the snow paints a disturbing picture of just how torn about this world is. There are trees covered in black soot surrounding the area, their bark appears to be slowly rotting away with a darker color then Beirus is used to. Beirus stares slack jawed at everything, until he hears a voice behind him. "Hmm, hello again, Beirus. We'll go ahead and say it, you're the first living human in millennia to make it here. You'll be the last if we have anything to say about it.", causing Beirus to turn around to see Dr. Bolton, recognizing the dead, purple eyes and the voice as the person in front of him not being the good doctor. Beirus takes a step back, only for the Operator to step forward, a grin identical to Jess Warner's appearing on it's face. In fact, it's too exact, right down to how the left side of it's mouth appears to twitch slightly as it steps forward...
-----------
Back at Hoth, while the sun hangs in the sky, the Snowstorm calms down to a more helpful level, leaving everything to a better condition...(Time: Evening, Weather: Snowstorm (Calm))
-----------
BSN: More lore? More lore. I do lore good.

Also, DigitalDemon, I was wondering if there was anything I could change for Aim For The Goal to make it more useful, since right now it's a target limiter with a debuff. I'm open for ideas.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Thirteen: Demon vs. Hawk
Imperial F.O.B 79-281 N, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth)
Evening, Snowstorm (Calm), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

The calming storm helps numb some of the remaining pain in BiggerFish's stomach, the stinging of the wounds being replaced with the soothing nature of the calming blankets of snow as each snowflake falls to the ground. Hearing what just happened has put Fish's mind out of his ease, however, as imagining the plight of the Rebels in that situation causes him to gain a painful, yet dutifully powerful need to stop this onslaught. To begin, he begins searching around for any weapons left at the camp, specifically ones that still have ammo. [10] He not only tallies up at least 5 Blasters, but also finds that all of the weapons of the 501st are usable and in a fine condition. He places both of his hands around Bantha's discarded Gatling Blaster (100/100) as an extra Minigun, and then grabs a random Blaster. [Semi Auto, 11/11]. Because having two Miniguns is too cumbersome to get anywhere, he decides to drag both of the heavy guns together and drop one off later on. He then walks over to the scene of conflict: two people who should be allies, plus a helpful Wiki-Warrior and a ninja cyborg with the consciousness of four other ninja cyborgs, having a conflict over a dead Elite Stormtrooper. Yep. "Demon! For the love of God, man, we needed to kill him, that's why we're here! Hawk, I believe your exacerbating the problem by fighting back! Abstract...I don't know, but I'm still pissed! I'm going back to Echo Base, if anyone wants to help me, come on!", he yells out at the utter insanity unraveling around him, the anger in his face apparent. His words fall upon deaf ears, however, causing him to walk off. While the falling of the snow slowing down should be better for distance, the sheer weight of carrying two Gatling Guns around means that around halfway through, he begins struggling to make it there, meaning he has to try. [8-4] He makes it to the same cliff-face PirateJoe was found earlier on, and while he isn't at the base just yet, he can clearly see that Porkins was right: there is a large hole through the right side of the base, and the snow around the entire base is melted. Purple flame surrounds the entire base, it's color reminding BiggerFish of something, a cold feeling on his shoulder as he looks out towards the ruins.

After hearing the words that came out of Sir Intrigue's mouth, PirateJoe merely waves it off as another excuse from the rapper. He turns back to the demons, Izzik and Dretch, and begins instructing them. He tells them to go to Echo Base, and orders them to go there and wait for him. Nodding, the two of them rush towards the Base, their speed not rivaled by anyone as they rush towards the Rebel's location. PirateJoe, without much effort, begins practicing his teleportation with some light jumps, green light appearing in Joe's past location. Joe then holds the Chaos Emerald over his head, and shouts "CHAOS...CONTROL!", causing him to teleport. He goes to the same hill as BiggerFish, waving and saying hello as he sits and waits.

Due to Lady Porkins's vision, NRDL looks at the group with surprise and slight fear. If something happened to, say, Leia, then everything might be doomed. Though the quiet snowfall should be calming and collective, NRDL collects his equipment, and begins running towards Echo Base. His lighter equipment should make it easy to get there, but the weight of his armor does weigh him down slightly. [9-1] He manages to make it directly to Echo Base, the air even calmer there then it was in the plains. Looking up, he sees BiggerFish and PirateJoe, and waves a hand to them. A calm voice in the back of mind tell him that he should know these people, but he cannot the last time he's met them. Looking at the base, he sees precisely the same thing Porkins said, but two things stand out. The first is the smell: burning wood and what smells like burning bodies surround the air around him, bringing a sinister atmosphere to everything. The second are the bodies. Right inside the base, he can see three Rebel corpses. Two only have plasma slashes, but the third is still on fire and is badly burnt. NRDL holds a hand over his mouth, swallowing a small amount of vomit as he stands outside, waiting for a plan to run in.

Sir Intrigue looks over to where Joe was standing, green light covering his face as he looks around for the man who was previously very willing to have a confrontation with him. Looking around with a face of confusion, yet slight understanding, he turns around and walks up to Chewbacca, looking for any injuries on the Wookie. [7] He sees the Slugthrower wound in Chewbacca's arm, a bit of blood on the brown fur of the Wookie, leading to Sir Intrigue clasping his hands together. Pulling them apart shows the Wookie blue lightning between the fingers of the absolute Sir, before Intrigue casts the lightning to the Wookie's arm. The wound closes together, the already small blood flow stopping as everything gets healed. Sir Intrigue nods at Chewbacca, before running to Echo Base. As nothing weighed him down, he stops next to NRDL and stares at the bodies with a look of disgust on his face. Ready to fight, Sir Intrigue pulls his AA-12 out and looks into the entrance, trying to find any sign of Vader. [10] He not only sees clearly into the Base, but actually gets a result. He sees nothing more then the fainest glow of red in a corridor, but it's all he needs to get riled up.

As the red fades away from the sight of DigitalDemon, he looks directly at the Trident, still in the air as it flies out of Triborg's chest. Demon attempts to grab the Trident and wrench it away from Triborg. [10 v 2] Demon wraps his hand around the metallic wire that the Trident is attached to, and not only tears the wire away from Triborg, causing the cyborg to trip and fall over, but he also Aims right for ATH's skull, preparing to chain the attack together assuming success in the battle. [1-1 v 6] Unfortunately, in Demon's attempt to throw the Trident, he doesn't let go at the right time, causing the Trident to go right into Demon's left arm, stabbing directly into it hard, causing blood to spurt onto the ground. Demon collapses onto his knees, clutching his arm in pain as his eyes roll around. Looking to Hawk, he says, "Y-you disgust me. You could've left him. But no. You had the chance to spare him, and you took his life, out of nothing but your own sick greed. Well, you know what they say. Ain't no rest for the wicked.", spitting onto the ground in disgust.

Hawk merely stares at DigitalDemon, the purple strings and light meaning nothing to Hawk as he walks towards Demon with a downright unreadable look. Craning his head slightly, Hawk says, "What greed? I just wanted to kill him.", causing Demon to look up with a look of what seems like anger and pain, a faint tear in his eye as he takes that in. Hawk pulls his Lead Pipe out, before attempting to strike Demon's skull. [9 v 8+2] Despite the pain, however, Demon's right hand grabs Hawk's and not only does his attack stop, but Demon also punches him in the cheek, causing Hawk to step back as more of his blood covers his face.

Lady Porkins, avoiding all attention onto herself, sits behind a tent as she tries to avoid the fight. While there, she sees Ara and the Rebels wave Luke, Han, and Chewie off as those three run back to the Echo Base. Porkins holds her head in her hands as she thinks about what could possibly happening at Echo Base, nothing there calming her down as she imagines all the pain occurring at Echo Base.

((Auto'd)) ATH merely looks to the battle, unsure of what to do at the moment.

As Beirus stares into the purple eyes of the Operator, the glare staring directly into Beirus's soul as though nothing could protect his spirit. Slightly shrinking under the weight of the being in front of him, Beirus steps back a fair bit, the sound of his footsteps providing the only familiarity in this seemingly alien world. Once Beirus is right up at the edge, he gets comfortable enough to ask a lot of questions. "And here is where, exactly? The center of the universe? And you're some sort of universe destroying, soul eating anomaly, or is that a separate problem? You gonna try to kill everyone before somebody else gets the right article to get here? Or was that a threat? You gonna tear apart reality to break my wish against harm? And I suppose you're the reason for Jess being the way he is, huh? Trying to create a better host? Or did he do something special to draw your attention? And who was it that bound God to allow for this little apocalypse?", he asks, every single question killing the insane grin of the Operator. For each section of questions, he needs to convince the absolute evil in front of him. [9] "The...center of the Universe? No, of course not. We mean, can something infinite have a center? No. This...is the Void. A world between worlds, every universe acting as a parallel to this one, single world. This area? This is only a small fraction of the Void. As for the soul eating anomaly, you must be referring to that.", leading to it pointing to the gaping tear. "That...is The Maw. I guess you can say that...", before pausing, leading Beirus to try to get it to continue. [9] At that, the Operator stares at him, before saying, "We guess you should know. The Maw is what will end this world. Astrid's prophecy? This is what'll do it. In 2019, both The Maw and us will gain enough souls, enough power, to claw our way through and destroy everything. There are some things we aren't telling you. Two, specifically.", leading to Beirus trying to convince it to continue. [2] The Operator merely shakes Bolton's head, merely saying, "No. You deserve to ask questions. Not everything has an answer, and this does. You'll never know until everything happens.". [1] At Beirus's asking about the Operator's threat, the Operator teleports right to him, [1 v 9] but thanks to the Operator's currently mortal body, Beirus easily pushes the being back. Rather then gloating about how it has phenomenal power, the Operator merely brushes some dust off of it's jacket. [9] Looking back up, the Operator continues, "James? Oh, we forgot. You know him as...Jess. Yes, that's his name now. Yes, we made Jess the way he is now. But it was not to create a host, or anything he's done. It's just...a connection., leading Beirus to ask for an explanation. [10] He not only convinces the Operator to tell him what connection it means, but also goes into detail of just what it did to Jess. "His connection is a man in the W.I.P, his name is Theren Norfolk. Main scientist and engineer, he's the one who develops the majority of Jess's products. Theren...well, we can't go into any detail, we're simply forbidden. As for what we did...let's just say that there's a reason why James hates bringing his father up.", leading to Beirus asking for more. [10] More details pour out of the Operator's mouth. "First of all, we're done playing a game of playing along with you. We're only answering your questions because we know nothing's going to happen. Anyway, what we did was...well. We may have caused James to...murder his old man in cold blood. He murdered the poor man because of us. Theren knows where to find a member of the Cult of Jericho, who knows how to bring the Maw into the world sooner, to jumpstart our plan for Exodus. And James met him soon after his old man croaked. Explains how he got into all this, hmm?" [9] "We did. Because the Maw is here in the Void, we can send souls of it through the veil of the Afterlife. It was a matter of distraction."

Beirus pauses, then asks why the Operator told him all that. "Like we said, it was only because only you will know this. No one else can prepare around this. By knowing this, you are now a pawn. You've played into not just our hands, but Jericho's, Legion's, the Maw's, everyone and everything. Do you understand? You. Are. Fragile. And we are going to break you.", his eyes turning a pure, dark purple which glows in the night sky. Beirus steps back, realizing what he just did...

BSN: Lore and Info. Info and Lore. Some more words to the tune of Captain Planet's theme...

Hey, um, Beirus? Was this information dump better then the last one? I don't know how I can make stuff like this good, so I would be appreciative about it. Also, now that you know some...things, they may become a future intermission. Just saying...

Why is Triborg called Triborg if he has 4 forms? Meh, whatever. If eating Buffout won't induce addiction, nom on some pills and bitch-slap Demon with the pipe. If not, break away from melee and shoot him in the face with my revolver.

Actually, yes. I've wanted to write, to make my own worlds and characters. I have ideas, and perhaps I could write them out. I've always liked digital mediums, though. You know, stuff like E-Books, short stories, fanfics...what? It's a decent hobby, good practice, and...I have to stop assuming things.

But no, seriously. I love writing, and I really do want to write stories.

Jesus. My vision of what a GM should be says I should stop this. My actual experience? Let 'em deal with it. It's most likely IC, so getting worked up about it won't help.

(Nerd/Continuity Nazi incoming!) Also, he's called Triborg because the Cyber Sub Zero variation is actually hidden. The player would need to do the steps needed to access variationless characters in MKX to get him. (Nerd/Continuity Nazi over)

Indeed it would. As someone who loves roleplay, breaking character in the moment isn't the best thing to do. Like I said, it's not something I need to worry about.

The response about the story, in case no one saw, wasn't a joke. I really do love to write, it was just an idea.

This is sort of a half bump/half question sort of deal. See, after last turn, I got to thinking about that info dump, and now I'm in the mood...the mood for feedback, that is. (Psychiatric Note: Patient wants people to tell him how much he sucks.) I was wondering if there was anyway to make the story better. Like, in terms of pacing and exposition. I ask myself questions like, "Should I reveal this? I shouldn't have revealed this. Should I put in this plot point now or later?", stuff like that. The other stuff is fine in my opinion, it's just a thought. Nothing major, just something to help.

Essentially: Expo dumps are evil, help me avoid them.

EDIT: Don't know if I made a mistake by asking so many questions. I'm sorry. I just want to make this fun. If I am being annoying, I'll try to stop. On a lighter note, anyone have one of these (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunce#Dunce_cap) in blue, purple, or black?

Oh, good. Glad to know that even with expo dumps in a forum game, I can make 'em work a little. I may have to start writing stories if I can do that...somehow. Not sure how I did that. Like, how did I do that?

((I liked the expo dump. Plenty of good information, and nice scene setting. Although I feel like that turn might have burnt through all my 1s, 2s, 9s, and 10s :p))

As soon as he realization hits him, Beirus laughs. He laughs at his own prior blindness to the situation, and he laughs at the Operator. His laugh rises slightly in pitch, sounding a bit unhinged. He catches his breath afterwards before speaking. "Break me? I've already done that. I killed millions without a thought for my own principles, purely out of hurt at a betrayal I knew was inevitable. I compromised my morals when all I wanted to do was save everyone and stop the destruction. I know my inner demons, Operator, and you aren't one of them. And you, like most megalomaniacal beings, seem to forget that a pawn can become the strongest piece on the board. So keep piggybacking on with the Maw and Legion. But know this. If you do destroy everything, all the people that would commit atrocities on eachother, everything until nothing is left in this universe, nothing to harm itself, to harm others...well then I guess I win too." Beirus follows this with another half-mad chuckle.

"You know, since you mentioned nobody else would come here, this is probably a great place for my phylactery. Right where you can reach it to kill me. But you wouldn't do that, would you? Not if I am a pawn in this apocalypse, as you claim. Unless you think that is supposed to be my fate, just so you can presumably pull my soul from the Maw like I assume you did with the others that came back."

Conversation that hopefully doesn't involve rolls. Defend self with Aether Manipulation and Alchemy if necessary, specifically by forming the Operator's souls into a Philosopher's stone to both weaken him and strengthen me. Only if he tries to kill me, though.

Wow! Thank you, that's really nice to say. I'm honestly glad that my writing's actually pretty good. I guess that someday, I should write stories, be they with characters and settings I love as a fan, or the characters and worlds I make on my own. So, I'm glad you guys are enjoying this. I don't know if I'll ever stop with the questioning, but if it helps, it helps.

New turn will either be soon (like today), or tomorrow. It all depends on when I can get it done.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Fourteen: Darkened Psyche
Echo Base, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Evening, Snowstorm (Calm), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

As the cold winter air surrounds the Wiki-Warriors, the frost biting any exposed skin as they peer into the dark abyss that the inside of Echo Base has become. Despite the darkness, the purple flame surrounding them burns brightly, providing an element of intimidating terror that no one could explain. At the sight of the creepy atmosphere, BiggerFish puts his left foot back slightly, ready to leave and grab reinforcements if needed. Despite that, BiggerFish still stays still, turning his body to the left slightly to meet face to face with PirateJoe, the both of them peering down to the base from their perch of a cliff face, the inky black still unnerving them. Fish pulls his Gatling Blaster out, examining the rotating barrels and the magazine of 100 plasma rounds, before passing it to PirateJoe, a sizable weight being taken off of one man and onto the other. At that, Joe simply says "Thanks.", to which BiggerFish's response is nothing more then a nod. He places his feet upon the snowy slope, and before long, begins sliding down. Meeting up with all except Joe, Demon, Hawk, Abstract and Porkins, he looks inside to the same sobering absence of color he saw earlier, the only thoughts in his mind being those of violence as he thinks about his quarry: the former Anakin Skywalker himself...Darth Vader.

Taking the heavy black Gatling Blaster in his hands puts a weight upon the hands and shoulders of PirateJoe, but he still takes the large gun given to him by his ally. He pulls it to his back, it's weight causing some discomfort as he feels the snowy cliff crack under his new found weight, yet the fact that it doesn't break isn't surprising to him, possibly due to BiggerFish carrying double the amount of this. Taking his feet to the same slope, he begins sliding down quite quickly to the even ground. As he slows to a dead stop on the ground below, he takes striding steps to the rest of the group, eyeing not just the Wiki-Warriors, but also Izzik and Dretch, who stop in place only to look at PirateJoe with shock in their body language. Joe holds out his left index finger before crooking it, a common gesture made to bring someone over. Izzik and Dretch walk forward, only stopping in front of Joe. Joe crouches down, and tells them their orders. "Alright, guys. Here's what I need you to do. Our final target is in that base, and he's wearing this black, body covering armor, with a respirator attached to his mask and chestpiece. But be careful. He has a red laser sword that can't be stopped by anything. Well, some things can stop it, but you aren't Lightsaber proof. Go on, do me proud.". At that, Izzik and Dretch nod, Dretch's open smile bearing more teeth then humans even have as he accepts the order, before they both run into the base. At that, Joe walks towards NRDL, Fish, and Sir Intrigue, his weight now only barely unencumbered as he waits for Izzik and Dretch to find and defeat Vader, which shouldn't be difficult at all...

Realizing the situation at stake, and with the smell of the cooking corpses providing a nauseating scent, NRDL unslings his Sten rifle, before pulling out his first spare magazine. He puts the long metallic cylinder into the loading port in the side of the gun, hearing a click as he locks it in place, before pulling a bolt back, chambering the first bullet of the mag. Slinging that back, he checks the ammo of his rifle, only seeing one plasma bolt missing from the magazine. Nodding his head at that, he holds it out in front of him, pointing the barrel into the base as he steps inside of now unnerving fortress. He turns his head quickly around, peering around the open hanger which now resembles ancient ruins with the amount of damage done. He peers into the main base of operations, numerous computers and machines dotting the area, in an attempt to find Darth Vader. [3] His eyes have not yet adjusted to the misleading lack of light inside, however, and even if Vader is there, which he doesn't know, he wouldn't see his black armor blending in to the similar coloration of the room. Remaining still, he considers the coast clear before taking a step forward, the only noise heard being the flames close to him and the creaking of metal as he steps forward.

At the sight of his ally grabbing his Blaster Rifle and heading into the ruins still currently known as Echo Base, Sir Intrigue stares into the abyss with a somber expression on his face as he feels the weight of every Rebel soldier who just lost their lives. Stepping back a few inches, he clasps his hands together before opening them, blue lightning surging back and forth between his fingers as he prepares to heal anyone who meets him, save for people named Digital Demon.

Porkins runs after the other three, trepidation causing her to shake as she prepares to see what's become of Echo Base. When they arrive over the cliff-face, Luke and Han stare at Echo Base with an expression of someone who just saw their loved...ones...die...moving on. Luke begins sprinting towards the Base, yelling for people like Leia as he bolts towards the door. Before long, he meets face to face with his new allies, each one looking at Luke with an expression of hurt and sympathy. Han runs a hand through his hair, quietly expressing his condolences before turning to Chewie and Porkins and saying, "I've got a bad feeling about this. There's no way that Vader did this on his own. Come on!", before he and Chewie slide down one of the snowy slopes. Before long, Porkins finds herself sliding down as well, the fun of having a slide contrasting with the grim situation. She runs up next to Luke, who is being held back from entering by Sir Intrigue who is telling him not to go in. After successfully restraining him, he turns to the group and says, "Now that everyone's here, how are we going to take on Vader?", an expression longing for answers plastered on his face. Before long, Han and Chewie also arrive, and, with the Wiki-Warriors, prepare to enter the base.

Blood drips down the arm of DigitalDemon, the three pronged spear violently stabbed into it by his own volition. Feeling pain shoot through his arm, he looks up to the bloodsoaked face of Hawk, the blood forming a makeshift crimson mask as it drips out of the man's nose. With hatred in his voice, Demon says, "Of course you'd say that.", before wrapping his right hand around the silver trident. Before long, Demon begins his attempt to pull it out, feeling obvious weakness on account of this turn of events. [8-2] Despite an obvious problem with it being stabbed into his arm, he manages to pull it out anyway. Once it's out, he stops feeling the weakness in his body, the brunt of his self inflicted attack stunning him a bit. Despite this, Demon still rises to his feet, unevenly standing to accommodate his left arm, before he charges right for Hawk's chest! [8 v 7+2] Despite Demon trying his hardest to succeed with the attack, his lack of experience with the weaponry, and armed combat in general, causes him to miss, and only tear the cloth off of Hawk's right arm, leaving the limb exposed to the elements.

Hawk calmly steps out of the way of Demon's assault, with what should have been a calm escape being interrupted by the sound of tearing cloth. He looks down at his right arm, now bare and exposed to the cold air, leaving him to instantly feel the wind bite at his flesh. At this, Hawk stares at Demon with the same look of anger, before replacing with a smile that bore into Demon's soul, the kind of smile that screams out in psychotic glee at what he's about to do. Hawk pulls out his Buffout and carefully reads the label. He thinks back to when he last had Buffout. It was right at the beginning of the Assault, he remembers. Still unsure if that'll prevent addiction, he quickly runs through his head that he has nothing to lose by doing this. Downing the last few tablets he has, he stands stock still for a few seconds, waiting for a second. He carefully latches onto his lead pipe, before beginning to shake slightly. He begins laughing in an insane rage as he roughly grabs his lead pipe with a tight grip. After coming down from that power fantasy, he stares at DigitalDemon for what is only, approximately, 4.3 seconds before he suddenly charges at the formerly pacifistic Wiki-Warrior. [6+2 v 6] In accordance with returning the favor in his last seconds of sanity, Hawk slams the lead pipe against Demon's nose, the sound of skin breaking and cartilage rending sends a chill down the spine of everyone who listens to it. Demons falls onto the ground, feeling blood drip onto his fingers as he looks up to Hawk, the insane Wiki-Warrior stating his mockery with, "At least it's more sensible than befriending your enemies... Quadborg, set him on fire.", the taunting words causing Demon to look up with a crushed expression...before the command causes him to flinch in fear.

((Auto'd 2)) Abstract tries his hardest to get in the way of the struggle. But alas, he isn't able to stop a fight like this.

Beirus stares at the being in front of him, the realization setting in...which causes him to begin laughing in a deranged manner, his eyes denoting the man's psyche dying right in front of whatever eyes may still be watching. At this, the Operator ceases the glowing of his eyes, staring at Beirus with a single eyebrow raised in confusion. His laugh goes into a higher pitch, the sound of his sanity snapping echoing through the ruins. He calms down quickly, breathing hard before turning back to the being in front of him. After seeing the expression on the Operator's stolen face, Beirus says, "Break me? I've already done that. I killed millions without a thought for my own principles, purely out of hurt at a betrayal I knew was inevitable. I compromised my morals when all I wanted to do was save everyone and stop the destruction. I know my inner demons, Operator, and you aren't one of them. And you, like most megalomaniacal beings, seem to forget that a pawn can become the strongest piece on the board. So keep piggybacking on with the Maw and Legion. But know this. If you do destroy everything, all the people that would commit atrocities on eachother, everything until nothing is left in this universe, nothing to harm itself, to harm others...well then I guess I win too.". Before the Operator can even reply, Beirus chuckles in that same higher pitch, the demented smile complementing the atmosphere. "You know, since you mentioned nobody else would come here, this is probably a great place for my phylactery. Right where you can reach it to kill me. But you wouldn't do that, would you? Not if I am a pawn in this apocalypse, as you claim. Unless you think that is supposed to be my fate, just so you can presumably pull my soul from the Maw like I assume you did with the others that came back.", he finishes after calming down, causing him to wait for the response of the Operator. To his surprise, the Operator actually begins to laugh, and to his shock and horror, the Maw seems to laugh too. Both the Maw and the Operator begin out and out laughing, the menacing tones of their amusement complemented by what sounds like millions upon billions of souls laughing alongside the two. "We see. You haven't missed the point...but at this point, it was vague. That's all we will say about that front. However, we are not megalomaniacal. Megalomaniacs want power. They want strength. Look up. We already have that power. We already have that strength. What we're waiting for is a chance to use it. We understand that you are strong...that's why you're a pawn. You will not help us willingly, we know that. Yet, it is action that drives all humans. You may not help us, but we can use you. You know that. That's why you mentioned winning when this Earth dies. You know that your actions will drive something to it's logical end.", he says after it finishes it's laughing fit. He steps towards Beirus, whose hand is outstretched in fear and hostility. "You're right, by the way. You could make your Phylactery here, and judging by the Philosopher's Stone incident, you could take our souls, the Maw's souls, possibly even Legion's souls. We cannot kill you..."...before grabbing Beirus's throat with it's right hand, it's eyes glowing bright purple again. "...yet. You are a pawn because you have your precious information, and you'll take it to the grave. You need to die, of course. You have a point...", it says as a Rift opens up over the snow, a bright white vortex appearing under Beirus. "But this part of the Void is our domain. And besides, a Catholic Alchemist would certainly know that God would weep at seeing three Phylacteries.". At this, the Operator tries to throw Beirus into the Rift, Beirus using his Aether Manipulation to help. [10 v. 2] Despite his efforts, the Operator still sends Beirus through the Rift, throwing him through the vortex as his mind warps. When the Rift tapers out, it's over a snowbank, causing Beirus to fall into snow. Landing in the soft, white blanket, all it does is serve to unnerve Beirus further, as a question passes through his mind. "Three Phylacteries? What?..."

Ara and the Rebels rush over to Digital Demon and Hawk, and try their hardest to get them to stop. Despite this, the cyborg known as Triborg wordlessly moves them out of the way, it's appearance actually changing as it moves. It becomes red, with it's head changing to a different piece. Two flamethrowers appear on it's wrists, and before anyone can react, he points them directly at Demon, both of them charging up with a red, vibrant glow. [5 v 6] Despite his injuries, Demon moves out of the way as a large cone of fire melts it's way through the snow, causing everyone to step back a fair bit. Demon stands up, and smirks as he tries to think of a way out of this.

Izzik and Dretch walk through Echo Base, passing NRDL in their quest, and make it through to the main fortification. While inside, they search around for the description of their quarry, trying to find him for their master. [3] Unfortunately, even demons can't see in the dark without Magic, and thus they cannot cast their gaze to find Vader. Even if they could, they wouldn't see an attack coming...
----------------
BSN: Here's a traditional joke. What do you call a Love Potion? A ship in a bottle! ...Yes, it's terrible. Laugh anyway.

I don't think I have anything to say other then...hey, Beirus! You got some questions? Ask 'em.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Fifteen: Search for a Sith Lord
Echo Base, Hoth VI, Hoth System (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Evening, Snowstorm (Calm), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

One would think staring into what was once the bastion of hope, and only seeing the inky black abyss that drives mortal men insane would cause the Wiki-Warriors to flee. Instead, as BiggerFish thinks about his quarry, he instead distances the black void, and instead distances the future from the past. As he thinks about the young boy that was Anakin Skywalker, he instead brushes that off to a vision of the Operator's silhouette, muttering "That wasn't Vader at all. It was the evil at the heart of the Wiki-Wars." under his breath, leaving the memory of Anakin behind and replacing it with that black mask. As he shudders, possibly due to the cold or the visage of the man he's about to kill, he walks into Echo Base and makes his way to NRDL's side, before searching the darkness for the Sith Lord. [6-2 (Darkness)] Despite trying his best to become accustomed to the darkness, he cannot see Vader's mask, armor, or even his boots. Sighing slightly, he steps into the control center, deactivated terminals dotting each table like the remnants of an evacuation effort, which BiggerFish believes happened. Sitting down at a chair, he turns to his head to the left to look out for anyone as he prepares to go to wherever Vader went off too.

Believing that the darkness is merely caused by a power failure isn't too much of a stretch, but as he looks to BiggerFish sitting down and staring into the dark, potentially to adjust to see better in the dark, NRDL turns his head left and right, seeking something to brighten the base up. To do so, he looks for any generators or light sources, making sure not damage anything in the dark. [9-2] He successfully eyes a generator, and walks towards it. After pressing only 2 buttons, the area around the terminals lights up, BiggerFish flinching as he wasn't expecting that. Looking down the hanger bay to see more darkness far off, they both see that it might have been an emergency generator. Turning back to the immediate danger, they look towards the immediate area to try and find Vader. [4] Though they do look closely, they can't see Vader anywhere, meaning that beside the immediate comfort of the light, their search hasn't mattered up to that point. Still, as they stand in the white glow, they feel relief that Vader isn't there, as the resulting battle will not be pretty.

As he looks to the lights flickering on inside of Echo Base, PirateJoe looks down at his gun's now unused flashlight before sighing quietly and heading inside of the base, the tapping of his shoes against the metal being a fresh change of pace from the near limitless amount of snow. As he walks in, his eyes quickly adjust to the interior light before he turns the corner through the terminal room and looks down the corridor to see Izzik and Dretch looking around. He runs up to them, asking for results, and become dismayed when it turns out that they have no idea where Vader is. The three of them begin working together, looking through the light and the darkness to see if they can find Vader. [3+2] They don't see Vader exactly, but looking through a side door, they vaguely see a faint silhouette calmly and slowly walk away from the door, leading to figure entering the room. At that, the 3 of them quietly rush to the door, and attempt to search for Vader inside. [2+2] Unfortunately, despite running inside of the room and checking, the figure appears to have entered through another door to the right of the first one, leading through to the armory. At that, PirateJoe stays put, though Izzik and Dretch begin inching closer to the door.

Sir Intrigue looks over the horizon, the blue lightning fading from his hands as he sees no one appear over the hill. Looking back at the now brightened ruins, he steps inside the once peaceful base of the Rebels, sighing at it's replacement as a barren site for the corpses of his allies. Stepping through the terminal room and greeting NRDL and Fish, it doesn't take long for him to go down the same hallway Joe went through, and it takes an even shorter time for Joe to pull him into the room. Joe begins filling him in on the situation with, "Person, or Intrigue, whatever. I think Vader's in the Armory. There's a light on in there, so you can look if you want.", saying so quietly to make sure that if it is Vader, he doesn't hear the words spilling out of PirateJoe's mouth. Sir Intrigue looks through the door to try and find Vader. [8] He does see Vader...as he walks through the same door.

Music! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8)

Rocking out from the shadows comes the Sith Lord, his black cape flowing and waving in the air as he steps forward. His black mask is as intimidating in person as it is on screen, as is his black armor. He stands at 6'7", and has an terrifying visage as he steps forward. He stops in place for a second, before the familiar sound of him breathing echoes through the room as his red lightsaber lights up. Sir Intrigue's first response is to attempt to yell out for help. [1] Not only does the yell hitch in his throat, but Vader reacts to that by automatically throwing his Lightsaber at Sir Intrigue, forgoing the Force Choke as a result of multiple enemies. [2+2 (Saber Combat) v 10+1] Sir Intrigue dodges, and takes that as an attack of opportunity by pulling his AA-12 out and firing it at Vader. [8+3 v 4+3] He fires a single shot, 9 pellets shooting out of the gun as the discarded shell breaks away from the gun. The pellets strike through Vader's left arm and chest, doing significant damage. For starters, the armor becomes compromised, meaning shots to the chest will go straight on. His left arm takes the brunt of the pellets, though, the compromised armor causing the arm to get a large amount of Buckshot through it. His left arm hangs limply, though all that does is make it so that he can only use his Lightsaber. At that, Sir Intrigue takes a step back, wanting to stay out of Vader's line of destruction.

[2] Factors like the walls and the location make it so that no one except those in the room hear the shot.

Lady Porkins rushes into Echo Base, her mind racing as she looks around the area. Stopping in the terminal room, she attempts to use the Force to find Vader. [3] Despite trying to get a hold on Vader's location, she is unable to get a hold on Vader's location, presumably because of Vader's power.

One would think the sight of his own blood would cause DigitalDemon to, at the very least, have a hint of fear and trepidation to prevent future injuries. Despite this, the determined face of Demon paints a different picture as a bit of fire calmly burns next to him. Despite blood flowing down his arm and pain shooting up his nerves, Demon doesn't show any discomfort as he raises the trident back up. He leans back, and says, "Looks like you missed, hotshot.", putting emphasis on the pun as he speaks with a clear voice. At Hawk's reaction being a sane groan, however, Demon's blood boils a bit before he charges forward, readying the Trident for a killing blow. [4 v 6+2] The torso of the Robe prove tougher then the arm, however, as while the Trident stabs into the robe, it's protective padding stops it from compromising or dealing damage. Demon looks at this with a look of surprise on his face, before looking back at the Trident with confusion. Hawk then parries it away, causing Demon to take a step back in surprise.

At this, Hawk merely stands there with an insane grin, the drugs close to finishing but still giving him a boost. Hawk leans his head to the left, waiting for Demon to look him in the eye. Demon looks up to Hawk's face, noticing the deranged look that the pupil and iris give off as both eyes stare into Demon's soul. Hawk finally attempts something by trying to charge towards him, pipe in hand! [1+2 v 2] The pipe lightly smacks Demon's cheek, causing some pain and discomfort, but only slight. Demon looks at Hawk with a look of exasperation, but due to proximity, nothing stops Hawk from trying it again! [3+2 v 1] This time, Hawk slams the pipe into Demon's cheek, causing Demon to step back as broken skin leads to even more blood. Hawk tries to keep going, but the drugs finally wind down as Hawk merely stands there with a content look on his face. Demon also stands there, unsure of what to do.

((Auto'd 3)) Abstract, in surprise, also stops moving, though aiming his cannon at everyone.

In the cold of the familiar planet, Beirus's exasperation stand very obvious. As he trudges through heavy snow, he begins muttering to himself. "Couldn't even take me back to the helicopter. Jackass.", he quietly says to himself, his teeth chattering slightly as he walks. Suddenly, he remembers just what he can do, and thus attempts to Rift his way back to the Helicopter. [2+2] He gets a Rift created, but he has no idea where it goes. Still, he finds it better then nothing, and passes through. Immediately, he feels a familiar headache as he mind goes through and warps as time and space pass around him. While in the Rift, he tries to change it's trajectory. He does, after all, want to stay within the same timeline. [9+2] He not only gets the trajectory correct, but manages to adjust his mind to the Rift's power. He feels a calm sense as he finally exits back to the Helicopter. The first thing he sees is Jaws's reaction to absolute magic in front of him. "It's been 3 years. How and why...", to which Beirus turns to see Veronica and Jess locked in quite the kiss, the two of them lost in their own little world as they do so. Beirus clears his throat, leading to the two of them breaking the kiss and backing away from eachother. Veronica's reaction is slightly mellow embarrassment, a red glow on her cheeks as she continues her drink. Jess...isn't like himself at all. No angst, or even sociopathy. He has the biggest grin on his face, satisfied that even after 3 years...it was worth it. He looks up to Beirus, and says, "Oh! Beirus. What's up, man? What happened while you were away?", leading Beirus to assume that this was Jess at his sanest...when he was closest to James...

Triborg stares at the stare down between Hawk and Demon before quietly switching yet again. His armor turns bright yellow and his headpiece changes into that of a more beaked appearance. Triborg steps behind Demon, before opening his chest cavity up. A buzzsaw emerges from it, clean and metallic as every other piece of Triborg, before said cyborg lunges it at Demon. [3 v 2] The saw scrapes Demon's left arm, causing even more pain to shoot through it. Gasping and yelling, he turns to Triborg to see a bleeding scratch on the back of his left arm, causing him to look at Triborg with an expression of pure hate. Triborg then attempts to drop a bomb through his chest cavity. [4 v 4] But Demon merely grabs it before it can be primed. Now, Demon is holding a bomb that he can use, and options pass through his head as he thinks about the bomb exploding...

Izzik and Dretch both attempt to stop the merciless Darth Vader, Izzik going first due to his speed. [7 v 1] Izzik stabs through the compromised armor, with quite a bit of blood pouring out of each hole. Dretch then tries to deal damage, waiting for Izzik to pull the Trident out before trying to claw at Vader. [5+2 v 10] Vader not only dodges the attack, but uses that as an opportunity to attack! [10+3 (Lightsaber Master) v 5] Vader stabs right through Dretch, causing the Demon to stop his attack. After Vader pulls the hot plasma out of Dretch's body, the demon collapses to his knees.

Vader, due to being a master of Lightsaber combat, attempts to attack each member of the Wiki-Warriors in the room with him. [9+3 v 7] First, he stabs through Dretch again, causing the demon to fall onto it's face in pain. As it howls, Vader stops before continuing to see if his arm still works. [1+1 (Good Defense)] His arm continues to hand limp, dangling lifelessly off of Vader's shoulder. Due to this, he goes to Izzik next. [7+3 v 10] Demon materials work well against Lightsabers, though, as Izzik parries Vader's Lightsaber, attempting an attack of his own. [1 v 3] Vader parries that blow before kicking Izzik out of the way. He goes after PirateJoe next, still calm and collected despite everything that's happened. [2+3 v 7] Joe dodges out of the way before grabbing Izzik and Dretch, and running out of the room. Vader quickly holsters the Lightsaber before waving his right hand over the door, closing it and auto locking it. Which leaves the good Sir, who Vader walks calmly towards while igniting his Saber. [7+3 v 7+1] Sir Intrigue raises a hand up to stop Vader, only for light to pass over his fingers, causing him to feel pain before simply not feeling them at all. Looking down, he sees that his index and middle fingers on his right hand has been cut off, with both of them rolling around on the ground. At that, Sir Intrigue merely screams, hoping to get help. [8] To which Luke, Han, and Chewie hear thanks to PirateJoe's help. Luke tries to open the door with the Force, [4+2] though he does unlock it, something's keeping it closed. Perhaps it's trepidation, or Vader's interference...

BSN: You guys were lucky! I don't know what to say to that.

I was thinking about something I would like some input on. Do you like the current system of the game as it is now, or do you want something more freeform, with some wiggle room like in TCM's game. It's an odd question, but I am curious. That's all.

Also, I'll try to get better at writing Jess and Veronica, since...well, you read it. ...You did read that part, didn't you?

Back away, and use the Harmful Lightning on Vader.

You could try, but Half Life's damage model means that I'm not sure they can regrow missing limbs with that lightning.

Also, no, Vader can't produce Force Lightning. It's because of his artificial limbs. Since they're mechanical, they can't conduct Lightning without possibly killing him. Not to make you feel stupid, but you did ask. (Continuity Nazi away!)

Ah neat. That's canon then is it? (Yes it is I checked myself don't answer this.) Lightsabers are probably good at blocking this sort of attack anyway, but I have to try it at least once. Especially given that apparently weakness to lightning.

Well, I'll just have to get myself a robot arm. No sense using the bacta on just my fingers. Or I could try to re attach them, as looking back it said they rolled onto the ground(not vaporized). That'd be weird though, and I doubt I have the time. As an aside, I don't really use discord much, though I get the appeal. As for mechanics, I prefer more freeform things myself, but this seems fine.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Sixteen: Wounds and Scars
Ruins of Echo Base (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Evening, Snowstorm (Calm), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Staring down the now brightened hallway, BiggerFish can obviously tell what's going on as the sound of a humming Sith Lightsaber fill his ears like white noise. Picking his Minigun up from the floor and holding it in his hands, he begins spinning the barrels as he makes his way to the metal separating Vader and Intrigue from the rest of the world. He stands there near the door, his anticipation of the fight making his hands shake before he slings his leg back. [6] A loud bang separates a section of the door from the wall as BiggerFish kicks it open. Peering in, he sees a battered and bleeding Darth Vader standing with his Lightsaber primed, ready to slice Sir Intrigue apart. BiggerFish slides the spinning rotor between the open section of the door, ready to fire 15 bits of hot lead at the Sith Lord. [7 v 3] Suddenly, before anyone can act, 10 of the fifteen unwieldy bullets slam into Vader's left leg, causing the normally intimidating Vader to collapse onto his left leg, his head bowed in slight agony as his breathing becomes more and more labored.

Looking at everything with frustration, the Wiki-Warrior known as PirateJoe stares at the scene before rushing over and asking BiggerFish if he got the Sith Lord. With a quick shake of his head, PirateJoe smiles a bit before muttering "Hmph, don't think for a second that walls will save you now.", succeeded by a shout of "CHAOS CONTROL!", causing PirateJoe to vanish, the area he was located becoming bathed in green light. Joe appears in the room, crouching down to avoid being seen. [9] He manages to hide behind a crate as he watches Vader attempt to stand. At this, PirateJoe attempts to make an unseen portal, ready to finish this himself. [8] Vader, somehow, cannot see the area behind him glow with a purple and green light. Joe unlatches his rapier from a belt before trying to stab into Vader's skull! [3+2 v 2+3] Suddenly, Vader quickly slashes behind him, the Force allowing him to destroy Joe's Rapier, causing the pieces to fall to the ground. Joe attempts to remain hidden to the Sith Lord's power. [5] While Vader obviously knows he's there, he cannot see Joe yet, leading the Wiki-Warrior to breathe silent relief at that.

At the sound of PirateJoe's shout of Chaos Control echoing through the halls, NRDL walks over to the door before peering in to see Vader looking around for something and Sir Intrigue's shocked face at his missing fingers. At this, NRDL attempts to cast Invisibility on himself, in order to get a closer look at the situation. [4+2] NRDL goes completely invisible, an invisible clock counting down to 30 seconds afterwards (1 Turn). After casting the spell, NRDL pauses to consider his plan, not sure if he should go in, before deciding he has nothing to lose. He tries to sneak into the room, his invisibility giving him the edge. [4+2] He makes it into the room, standing in plain sight as no one can see him.

Sir Intrigue stand there, his face contorted in agonized fear as he stares at the missing digits on his right hand. Taking a step back, he fearfully holds his left hand out, which begins arcing lightning through the fingers before long. Vader steps forward, causing Intrigue to fire the bolts out to him. [3 v 4] Vader twists his Lightsaber upwards, catching and deflecting the Lightning before sending it crashing into a wall, causing sparks to fly out from it. Intrigue then steps back, shaking in fear at the prospect of death.

Lady Porkins, the newest pupil of Luke as it were, rushes in after him, her feet carrying her as she runs to help him. She finds him igniting his Lightsaber, leading to Porkins wanting to help by opening the door further. [5] She manages to open it enough to get everyone in, ready to help any way she can.

Staring at your own blood doesn't seem healthy, but it's all Demon can do as he ponders what to do about Hawk. Finding the answer obvious, he twists a piece of the bomb, causing green lights to glow over the yellow sphere and a faint electronic ticking to take his ears. Clutching both the bomb and the trident, Demon sprints towards Hawk, trying to leave the bomb near the Psycho. [1] Unfortunately, before Demon can get there, the bomb begins it's detonation, leading to Demon to try to throw it before it's too late. [4] He manages to throw it at Hawk's head, ready to become victorious in this battle.

Hawk, without words or really any sort of caring, catches the close-to exploding bomb in mid air, before trying to return the bomb to it's sender. [2 v 5] While Hawk successfully throws the bomb, Demon dodges it a split second before it explodes, bathing the snow in orange light as though fireworks were being launched through the sky. At that, Hawk pulls his Revolver out before aiming at Demon's arm. [10 v 4] A bullet suddenly strikes through an artery, causing blood to begin to shoot out of a bullet wound in Demon's shoulder. He collapses to his knees, clutching the wound and trying to hold in the blood as his vision begins to blur.

((Auto'd 4)) Abstract, deciding that the fight has made him go to a slight breaking point, merely decides to sit everything out. Ejecting from his MEKA, he lands on the top before sitting there, relaxing.

At the sight of so many things, the light headedness Beirus feels is genuine and expected. Sitting down, Beirus grabs another cup of Fenrir Whiskey before turning to Jess Warner. "I went to have a little chat with someone. Looks like I missed some interesting stuff, though.", he says, referring to the events he had Rifted in on. At that, Veronica merely holds a glass out to her boyfriend, Jess clinking it against his own, before saying, "Sounds cool, man. Sounds cool. Who did you chat with? I mean, you don't really need a Rift to meet up with someone.", only for Beirus to take a sip of the Fenrir before saying, "I'll tell you later.". At that, Beirus stands up and walks to the monitors, shocked at what all he missed before beginning to commentate. "Wow! Vader's shown up, he's cut off Sir Intrigue's fingers, and he's heavily wounded! Demon and Hawk are still trying to kil eachother, and it looks like Hawk is winning!", he says, before going into more and more exciting commentary as his voice raises in a gleefully high pitch. Eventually, he stops before turning back to the group, saying "Actually, I am curious. It has been 3 years since you've seen eachother, right? How are the two of you already involved?", only for Jess to respond with, "Well, you know how people say there's a "spark"? A connection that two people feel? Well-", only for Veronica to say, "Dude, don't be that sappy, no matter how true it is or not.", before she takes a sip of drink.

Triborg switches back to his Sektor form, ready for end this battle once and for all in his master's name. Holding out his arms, heat begins to radiate off of his flamethrowers before the spark begins to burn through to the snow. [5 v 3-2] Demon weakly pushes off of the snow, only for fire to begin to burn through and burn Demon's face and right arm. Flesh begins to bubble and blacken as Demon begins to scream, patting away the flame only to see bits of burnt skin break off in his hands.

Vader, staring at Sir Intrigue with a look of hidden hatred, holds his left arm out. [9 v 2] Suddenly, Sir Intrigue is lifted into the air before he feels an invisible hand begin to strangle him, his windpipe slowly being crushed as he gasps and tries to flee. Before long, Vader pulls his hand in before re-igniting his Lightsaber, his plans obvious as he attempts to kill Sir Intrigue. [4+3 v 3] A red blade suddenly pierces Sir Intrigue's stomach, the burning cauterization doing nothing to heal the damage as Vader tosses the Wiki-Warrior away. Knowing where the fight is going, Vader tries to close the door yet again. [6] He manages to seal the broken door yet again, though he fails to lock it as pain takes his remaining organic parts.

Luke, upon seeing Sir Intrigue's pain, begins to cut away at the door with his Lightsaber in fury, not caring about the Dark Side as a fire rages on within him. [8] The door falls apart into pieces as Vader turns to see Luke charge in, Lightsaber at the ready. [8 v 8+3] Not only does Vader block each and every blow Luke tries to make with his Sith Lightsaber, but he also sees an opening and tries to strike back. [6+3 v 1] As a red blade stabs through Luke's chest, causing him to go limp, Lady Porkins screams in sorrow before rushing in, and grabbing Luke's Lightsaber. She re-ignites the blue blade, before trying to attack the Sith Lord herself. [8+2 v 7] Lady Porkins slashes through Vader's breathing apparatus, causing his breaths to go sharper and more labored as tears fall from Porkins's eyes.

Han and Chewie both try to fire at Vader, their red blaster bolts flying in at the former Anakin. [7 v 2+3] Two bolts pass through Vader's right leg, causing the soon to be dead Sith Lord to fall to his knees, his labored breathing echoing through the halls.

BSN: ...Holy crap.

So, two things. One, thank you for all the well wishes. Like I said, I'm doing a lot better and it's nice to see you guys being so sympathetic. Two, I'll do the Character Sheets later. I'm currently doing this game on the Family Laptop and I've had it since last night. Next chance I get, I'll type them up in an edit. That's all...for now.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, DOING THEM NOW. Also, sorry about your luck, Demon. It's honestly just some bad rolls, these things happen.

Use Quickdraw and shoot Vader.  As many times as possible.

Which is either 2, 4, or 6, depending on whether 'with any handgun' means it's per gun, and whether the blaster rifle counts as a handgun.  Gun katas much???

Quickdraw: Can fire 2 bullets in one turn with no debuffs with any Handgun.

...Huh. Didn't actually think about that. I guess you can use more then one handgun, since a quickness is drawing a gun fast enough that your enemy can't react, and if you're fast enough to quickdraw one gun and shoot twice, you must be fast enough to draw two and shoot four. Plus, your -2 is only to movement speed, debuffing things like charging and wading through difficult terrain. As for the Blaster Rifle, handguns are generally considered to consist of Pistols, since those can fit on only one hand.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
Round Seventeen: There's Always a Bigger Fish
Ruins of Echo Base (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Evening, Snowstorm (Calm), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

As the room grows warmer and patience wears thin, PirateJoe realizes that even in his injured state, Vader is a powerful opponent. Luke's possible death drives that point forward, causing Joe to look with disdain upon everything that's happening. As he watches his allies pump lead and slice plasma through the Sith Lord, something seems to strike at his very core. A distant memory of the same wish that was offered here, surrounded by dust seems to appear from the corner of his eyes, before his vision turns blurred and red from rage. As he stands up, a familiar disgusting yellow glow surrounds his arm, with his eyes glowing crimson as his mouth opens in a terrifying snarl. The screech heard during the last few times erupts from his lips, causing everyone except Vader to step back. Vader attempts to stand back up, [7 v 9] only to have to roll out of the way of the charging PirateJoe, causing the Wiki-Warrior to hit the wall hard, though he suffers no injuries as a result. Taking a step back, Joe turns to see Vader unharmed from the charge, causing Joe to slam his fist to the ground in anger as his sight returns from rage and sees color again.

As he stares into the room that grows increasingly loud and violent as things draw closer and closer to a close, BiggerFish plays into his abilities, and slings his Minigun over his shoulder, before holding his left hand on the Six-Shooter and his right on the .54, clicking the safety of the pistol off in the process. After staring at Vader for a while, to get the shot right, his hands wrap around the grip of both pistols before slamming them upwards! [10 v 5] [4 v 9-2] [10 v 7-2] [8 v 2-2] Suddenly, a Magnum bullet smacks into Vader's chest, causing him to become weakened due to pain and blood loss. A .54 bullet hits Vader's chest, causing Vader to hit the ground, his breathing going slower and slower. BiggerFish, with a bit of flair, fires Revolver a second time, the bullet smashing through the helmet and spreading blood and brain matter across the floor, as the labored breathing of the Sith Lord stops.
BiggerFish has shot out Darth Vader! BiggerFish earns:
A Wish!


Everyone who wanted to kill Vader stop in place, shocked at the bullets flying and killing Darth Vader. PirateJoe is frustrated at his loss, yet the rest are simply relieved that the battle is over. Lady Porkins holsters Luke's Lightsaber, and rushes towards him, placing two fingers upon his neck to see if he survived. [10-2] Despite the seemingly fatal injury, Luke's pulse is still strong and he seems to be regaining consciousness. Porkins places the Lightsaber next to Luke, a sad smile on her face as she walks to the rest of the group.

Beirus stares at the screen in shock, his face devoid of any emotion other then surprise as he stares at what just happened. "Ladies...Gentlemen...THE BIGGER FISH HAS JUST WON! I'm not sure anyone was expecting this, but it was quite the fight. Oh my God. ...Well? He gets a wish, let's go!", the last part of his conversation directed to the Pilot, who looks to Jess for approval. Jess, Logan, and Veronica are all equally shocked, obviously not expecting such a victory. Nodding in a daze, The Pilot flies down, the rotors of the Chopper providing a pleasant noise as they get closer to the ground.

As he looks upon the burned form of DigitalDemon, the psychopathic Wiki-Warrior known as Hawk holds his Revolver out before pointing it at Demon's skull, the lead bullets inside giving the action more weight. As he pulls back the hammer for dramatic flair, he says, "How about you stop struggling and make friends with Death?", before squeezing the trigger. [8 v 9-2] The bullet only makes a light graze on Demon's cheek, not causing much damage, or at least not much compared to the onslaught. Still, this awakens a memory of someone who seems like PirateJoe aiming a gun at them, causing Demon's eyes to open, before he rises to his feet, limping and battered as more crimson blood hits the snow.

As blood drips onto the white landscape, Demon smirks, his burns only making the smile more disjointed, before he charges towards Hawk, holding his hands out to grab him. [10-2 v 3+2] Despite Hawk's attempts, Demon still slams him to the ground with a satisfying smack before making a grab for the Revolver in Hawk's right hand. [2] Hawk's grip remains strong, leading to a fight for the firearm. [4 v 9] Hawk's hand remains tightly wound around the grip of the gun, causing Demon to try another method. [9-2 v 9] Hawk blocks a punch coming directly for his face, his hand catching the burned and scarred one, before he whistles, catching the attention of Triborg...

Triborg, already looking in the direction of the conflict, calmly walks over to the fight with Flamthrowers primed, before pointing them at the already burned DigitalDemon. [3 v 7-2] Surprisingly, Demon actually rolls out of the way at the same time Hawk does, the flames once again burning the landscape around them. Both men stand back to their feet, ready to continue the conflict.

Hearing the rotors, BiggerFish steps outside, along with the rest slowly following, with what seems to be a song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI9fCK5A7Js) coming from the speakers or playing in their heads. The Helicopter lands on some even snow, it's metal form casting a shadow on some of the surrounding area. Jess, Jaws, Veronica, and Beirus all exit the chopper, all 4 of them ceasing their shock, though still stunned at the events. Jess merely motions to Logan to go to BiggerFish, and Logan stops in front of him. Holding out a hand, time pauses and the surrounding worlds goes dark, the snow turning to stone under BiggerFish's feet. Logan says, "I'm sure he must have told you subconsciously what to wish for, but I'm just going to remind you. You can either wish to change the world, change the type of match or where it is for next time, wish for a specific article for you next time, or wish to carry an Article from here to next time. Also, you can't wish for the Dragon Balls. You either need to find them yourself, or wish for a Dragon Rader and do the same thing, because...well, I'm sure you know.", to which the Darkness opens up to reveal millions of Purple and Red eyes watching them. Logan then holds out the orbs that contain the magic for each wish, nodding his head as if to give the go ahead to pick one.
-----------
BSN: Holy crap in a handbasket! The second victory!

Now, two things. One, PirateJoe. Please don't be *too* upset that it wasn't you. It's just a game, and losses happen. It's best to put on a brave face and say "That could be me next time", then to sulk and complain. Personal experience with non-forum games.

Second, Hawk vs. Demon will continue, even after the Epilogue, because...reasons. When it ends, Intermission, and then Chapter Three, Round 0.

Now, since there was a victory, no sheets. So...onto the reactions?

Well, I'm relatively satisfied with this outcome.

Healing lightning on Luke. Then use my bacta on myself.

"Good work everyone. Keep me safe while I heal all right?"

It is the epilogue, so while this would probably be two actions normally why not. A huge part of me wants to bust a rap about how we killed Vader, but A: I got nuffin and B: I'm dying a little here so no time. So, what happens to the rest of us I wonder.

Chapter Two: The Battle of Hoth
Match Three: Elimination
CH2 Epilogue: Cult of Interest
Ruins of Echo Base (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echo_Base)
Evening, Snowstorm (Calm), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

BiggerFish stares at the orbs in front of him for a few minutes, thinking things over as he turns the possibilities over in his head, before remembering a certain show. Flicking his vision back over to Jaws, he blurts out, "I wish that the Machine from Person of Interest will exist, along with all its assets, its creator, and its resources and its creators' resources, that it will be able to work across the multiverse, and that anyone causatively related to the Wiki-Wars could not take direct hostile action against it.". At that, Jaws looks up to BiggerFish, the winner still slightly unsure of himself as he requests such a change. Jaws speaks, each clarification met with a nod of Fish's head. "So, you want the Machine? Finch? Finch's friends and teammates? Thornhill? And the Machine's Assets, which include multiple Team Machines. Plus the fact that it can't be harmed, and can speak through the Multiverse? Hmm, can we do that?". [10] Both the Operator and Jericho speak at the same time, making their voices heard, "Let the boy do it. We don't need to harm them. They may stop one plan, but it will not end humanity's troubles.", causing Logan to grab the orb, nodding quickly before crushing it, it's magic blasting through the sky as darkness returns to light, the eyes disappearing and being replaced with the glare of the sunlight. At that, Fish can already feel a cellphone in his pocket vibrate, and when he picks it up, a message says, "Probability of Cult of Jericho Involvement: 99.5-100.0 %.", causing him to look to the rest of them satisfied. NRDL, happy for his teammate's victory, attempts to throw a celebratory Thermal Detonator into the air. [3] It falls to the ground, causing PirateJoe to rush over to grab it. [1] Due to the aid of Jaws, no one gets hurt, but PirateJoe gets concussed by the explosion, walking around dazed as 3 afterimages of the world dance in his vision. In his stupor, he gestures to Izzik and Dretch to stay on planet, causing them to run off. Sir Intrigue, looking upon this panting and a wreck, begins to arc his blue lighting before trying to apply it to Luke. The calm causes Sir Intrigue to automatically close the Plasma scoring, the hole in Luke's chest closing as his eyes snap open. He stands to his feet and turns as a safe room door opens, it's occupants including Leia and some guards. As everyone reunites, Sir Intrigue steps into the portable Bacta Tank, not even bothering to remove unnecessary clothing. Still, his stomach wound closes up, and though his fingers don't return, he has an odd feeling that it doesn't matter much for the future. Stepping out, covered in Bacta, a purple light flashes as everything goes black...

An odd feeling passes Demon and Hawk, as though the fight should, by all accounts, be over. Despite this, as the cold wind on Hoth ceases to change and the sun hangs warm in the day sky, they don't care as their emotions get the better of all common instinct. Demon rises to his feet after the Flamethrower barrage, his eyes more calm and sane then the shaking Hawk's as he turns to the aforementioned Wiki-Warrior. Hawk takes this as challenge as he charges towards Demon, ready to break him once and for all. [1 v 1] Hawk smacks into Demon, and they both unceremoniously fall to the ground hard. Hawk crawls over to Demon, gripping snow as he makes his way over, before picking his Revolver up and preparing to slam it into Demon's skull. [6 v 8-2] Despite such a task, Demon still grabs onto the Revolver before it even comes down, leaving Hawk surprised as though he didn't expect someone with serious burns to pull through in such a fight. Against all odds, Demon pushes Hawk away from him, Hawk scrambling to his feet as Demon gets to his feet.

Demon turns his head back to Hawk, a look of anger plastered onto the former pacifist as if the entire world view died the same way Janus did. Stepping forward, Demon reaches his hands out in an attempt to grab Hawk, while also trying to pull down the healthier man. [4-2 v 4+2] Hawk merely shoves him away, leaving Demon dazed before he stops. Taking the simple route, Demon charges towards Hawk with a fist in the air, ready to give the man what for. [9-2 v 1] Hawk merely stands in place, smug and sure of himself...before ceasing to see and feeling himself slam against the ground. The occurrence? Demon punched Hawk right in the face, breaking teeth and causing his nose to break even more while also knocking the man unconscious. As Hawk lays on the snow, only barely sure of what just happened, Demon stands tall over him.

Taking in all of the information, Triborg suddenly changes to a blue color, his helmet the same as his Smoke form as the lights in his suit turn an aquamarine. Clasping his hands together, he manipulates Sub-Zero's cryomancy into an Ice Sword, it's blue color giving the deadly weapon a graceful edge as Triborg charges at Demon. [5 v 3-2] Demon suddenly yells in pain as he feels ice stab into his stomach, the blue blade gaining a crimson edge as it slides in and out of Demon's stomach. He falls onto his back, breathing hard as a large amount of blood drips onto the snow.

BiggerFish's eyes snap open, appearing in a brand new area. It appears to be some kind of subway car, the windows outside marking the car as being in a train station in Dublin, Ireland, possibly the railway connecting it to Connolly. As he sits up, he sees three figures. Two of them, both female, appear to be talking about something, while the third one, a male, sits quietly while reading a newspaper. It's headline appears to be about a missing persons case in America about Thomas Albaway, known as Charon on the radio ways. BiggerFish, remembering the bite marks on the body of said man, shudders audibly, causing all 3 to turn to him. Remembering his wish, he decides to attach a Person of Interest character to all three. To his surprise, the first one is one of the women, and he's glad to see her. From the brown hair tied in an asymmetrical ponytail to the black rimmed glasses, to her beautiful brown eyes filled with worry, there's no denying that the girl is Abigail Walters herself. Though her outfit has changed to a black sweater and denim jeans, clothes don't make a person, and Fish knows this as he springs up, already feeling her wrap her arms around him. "Fish! I-I thought you were d-dead. I saw you, you had y-your head...I'm glad you're okay.", she says, her English accented voice filled with worry. Soon though, it's filled with worry, before she lightly slaps his arm. "I thought you were dead, you git. How could you bloody scare me like that?", leading for Fish to say, "Don't worry, Abigail. I'm not going to make a habit of dying. I'm only here because I lived.". She smiles and leads him over to a small room, with a table and some cool mugs of coffee sat upon it, and as Abigail talks about the specifications of what's happening, BiggerFish thinks, "Abbie's the Finch here. Okay, I can kinda see it. Only she's more nervous...and not Michael Emerson...and if she's a dude I'll be very surprised.", only for her to lightly smack him again. "Pay attention, Fish. ...I've missed you, you know? After you died...I sort of went out like a light. I guess the painkillers worked wonders. Regardless, this is kind of important. Now, I'm sure you know what the Machine does, yeah? Good. I'm the one who grabs the numbers and tells everyone where to go. Speaking of, Alexis! Carter! My friend's here!", leading to the other two walking towards them. "Alexis" appears to be around 25-28 years old, with long blonde hair and wearing a shirt, jacket, and scarf along with baggy pants and grey boots. She speaks with a calm and confident Russian accent. "Yes, Abi-Oh! You must be Mr. Fish. I'm Alexis Dorchev. If you can believe it, according to Abigail, a purple light dragged me here. Would be ridiculous if I didn't see it.". Abigail began explaining, about how everyone was brought to this place by Magic, and while still listening, he tries to figure Alexis out. "Blunt and forceful. Hmm...", only for Abigail to tell Alexis to tell Fish what she brings to the table. "With the world empty, I guess it's alright. I was in the Russian military, Special Forces unit. You know...", leading Fish to ask if she's former Spetsnaz. With a cocky smile and the word "former" repeated in a teasing matter, Fish's thoughts spell out "Reese. She's Reese.". Finally, Carter appears. With a casual outfit of a T-Shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap, it takes Fish awhile to see that he's holding a bloodsoaked labcoat. "Yes, Abigail?", he says, in an Irish accent, before turning to Fish. Placing the labcoat on the table, he continues, "Oh, you must be Fish. ...I'm a Doctor, I wasn't like performing experiments, or removing tumors. Side effect of having no change of clothes before being dragged here.". BiggerFish tries to tally p their personalities to make it easier. Abigail was shy and geeky, Alexis was calm and cocky, and judging from the tone of voice and occupation, Fish guesses, merely guesses, that he's the sarcastic straight-man in the wacky world. "I don't know who he is in this group. Perhaps Shaw? I guess we'll see.", before he speaks up. "Alright, first thing's first. Where's Finch and crew? And the other teams?", leading Abigail to explain. "Logan Pierce is spearheading a team like us in Washington. As for the main team from the show, because I watched the show...gone. The only o-one I got around to tracking is F-Finch, and he's in Italy under a new name. Series 5 finale, I suppose.". Sighing, Fish continues, "Well, what are we doing here, does the Machine still work the same? You know, Thornhill and the like?", to which Abigail replies, "Y-yeah! We've got Thornhill, and we've already made a purchase through it. Don't know if anyone's on Earth to get the shipment, but I suppose Alexis will get it.", only for Alexis to nod her head. "Now, firstly...yes, the Machine's alive. I've heard it speak before you got here. Speaks in Root's voice, actually, which is quite creepy. We've got Relevant Numbers and the like. What's interesting is what we've set the Relevant Numbers to.", only for Alexis to speak up. "I'm the one who got it working for the so called "Cult of Jericho", as Abbie calls them. Got into a data record that grouped them together. If a Relevant Number comes up, we have someone.", with Carter only nodding. Fish nods as well, wanting to ask more questions later, except that Carter speaks up. "If we're going off to die, we need a name to attach to our dying words. What do you have, Mr. Fish?", the only admonishment being from Abigail for it's pessimism. Fish, thinking it over, then replies "I don't think we have names. We're just...a cell.. Right now, he has The Machine, Abigail, and two new companions to take the Cult of Jericho on...Those that are Mortal are intelligent and resourceful. But like I said, there will be more then us if we fail. The cosmos hold many secrets, and this is and was only the beginning...

As Master of Sarcasm, I can tell that was a legitimate observation. It's usually hard to tell with text.  :-\

And yeah, I needed a way to give people what they want, while giving the characters enough autonomy to say no to things they didn't agree on. I think it works.

Demon vs. Hawk
Imperial F.O.B 79-281 North
Late Evening, Calm Weather, 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016)

Sharp breaths echo through the air, the sound of them causing anyone listening to shake, including DigitalDemon, who can feel pain coming from every point in his body. Knowing that the end is near, he slowly stands back up, feeling such heavy blood loss that each step feels like a crushing blow on every body part. Demon grabs Hawk, and tries desperately to pick him up, feeling weakness and pain everywhere. [7-3] He barely manages to pick him up by the robe, weakly holding him up to chest level, leading to his idea of a human shield to gain less leverage. Still, he hoists Hawk up with all the strength left in his body, waiting until Triborg's attack to do anything else.

Darkness reigns in Hawk's vision as he feels light pain covering his unconscious face, when he feels through the subconscious void his weight being dragged upward, just barely held up. At that, Hawk tries to pull through the veil of darkness, and wake up to finish his mission. [4] He just barely opens his eyes and see Demon standing above him, his hands grabbing his robes in desperation, before he closes his eyes to the darkness, overwhelming pain returning as he pulls his Revolver back out, and tries to fire while still seeing black. [7-2 v 4-3] Despite his inability to see, Hawk still places the barrel up Demon's chin, before he fires, causing the bullet to shoot up Demon's skull, and exit through the top. Demon collapses onto the snow, and Hawk tries to feel for his enemy's pulse. [5] He feels one of the weakest pulses in history slowly stop, leading to him bringing Triborg over. Triborg switches back to Cyrax, who calmly places a bomb upon Demon's chest. [9 vs. Auto-Failure (Injuries+Unconsciousness+Demon Action="Collapse")] A large explosion smashes through the ground, covering the snow covered land in blood and gore, to which Hawk fully wakes up to see. Hawk stands up, only to be engulfed in purple light, his vision blacking out one last time...

As Jess Warner and company walk back to their helicopter, I expected nothing more then to go back home. What actually happened? Suddenly, a burst of purple light burst through behind them, causing them to all turn around. Emerging from the light is NRDL, who has been stripped of his power and weapons and looks like an average man. Jess first speaks with, "Wait, how di-", only to be interrupted with "Can't talk. Carrie Fisher. Bye!", with him then running into the ruins with great importance. Logan says "Did he just break through a teleportation spell?, only for Jess to begin sputtering wildly, running around trying to find out what just happened. Beirus says, "Did he just break Jess?", to which Veronica responds with "Dude...I'm just shocked.". While inside, NRDL makes a beeline for Leia. He slides up to her in a slightly creepy manner and begins flirting. [9] Things are actually going pretty well for NRDL...until Han shows up. When he asks what NRDL is doing, [9 v 6] NRDL smacks him in the face with a closed fist, before jumping up and vanishing again.

BiggerFish takes in all the new sights and sounds, the smile plastered on his face being genuine as he feels real peace. Stepping towards Abigail, he brings her to a hug, just taking in everything. "Abigail, I was so worried about you, it's good to see you again.", causing her to hug him as well. "I...I was worried, too. I thought you died...a-and I-", only to him to break the hug and look her in the eyes. Her eyes are teary and there's a visible blush on her cheeks. Before either one can say anything, Carter says, "Abigail, stop talking to your boyfriend. We have a mission to do, you know.", leading to the two of them backing away suspiciously quickly. BiggerFish then says, "Ahem, right! Um...wait, isn't Shaw still active?", causing Abigail to snap her fingers before rushing over to The Machine, trying to track her. [2] "Can't find any trace, and I'm not getting a number anywhere. I could, perhaps, tap some phones or contact Thornhill, but all the way in the US? It might be better to just focus on what we're doing now.", causing BiggerFish to sigh before turning to Carter. "So! Doctor, huh? What is it that you did exactly?", leading to Carter to turn around and say, "Surgeon. Mainly specialized in tumors. Liver cancer and the like.", yet BiggerFish is still suspicious, leading to him trying to find something out about him. [2] If Carter is hiding something, which Fish isn't sure about, then he's good at it. From giving the best answers to questions, to him calmly redirecting certain ones. Before long, Fish forgets his suspicion as the two of them just...talk. Before long, though, Abigail turns around, before telling them, "Um, guys?", causing all three to turn to her. A number, a relevant number comes up on Fish's and Abigail's phones. It's located in Germany, and it's sent to the team present in Ireland. BiggerFish's team. Abigail asks, "Is that how it works in the show?, to which Fish replies, "Maybe, maybe not. We have a lead now, so let's think about this.", with all 4 of them looking at the picture and talking. Before long, BiggerFish comes up with a plan...

Hmm...hook? What's going to happen is that no matter what Fish says, there's an event that will happen, depended on a roll. That segment will be after the intermission, before we move on to Chapter Three. Makes sense? Good. Also, if there were any errors in regards to the Relevant Number system, please tell me so I can edit the turn.

The Insanity of Jess Warner
W.I.P Towers, Osaka, Japan
Late Night, Stormy, 4/13/2013

"James? ...James. ...JAMES!", was the voice that woke twenty-three year old James Preston Warner from his daydreams on this fateful day. As he looked around the stone office, the red curtains covering the rain soaked windows like a cloak covering a stranger wishing to become hidden, he soon stared into the eyes of his father, Maxwell Levi Warner, whose hazel eyes matched the younger man's with the exception being the rage in the older man's face. "Yeah, dad?", James said, his voice slurred from being deprived from precious sleep as he looked at his father, whose face was now twisted into a much calmer fury. "This is the third time you have slept through my instructions, young man. I am trying to help you, mold you, into Warner Industrial Program's new leader, someone to bring the family money and respect after I grow older. James, this is your destiny.", to which James replies with, "Dad, I'm 23. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. My decision is that I don't want the family business, selling machines of war to the next highest bidder, just so they can kill their next enemy.". This seemed to make the older man calmer, though the furrowed, dark brown brow denotes that he's displeased with this turn of events. "James, I'm trying to help you. Easy money, the respect of your peers and employees. This job has given me everything! This can give you everything, and you simply must accept it! You don't have a choice, success doesn't come from leaving what those around you have given you! If you don't accept this, then I'll be disappointed. Your mother will be disappointed. Everyone will look down upon you as someone who rejected power. Do you want that?". As James looked back down at the table, no answer forming in his thoughts, a little voice at the back of his mind drew his attention, the voice sounding very much like his own as it spoke. "He's manipulating you. He's trying to emotionally manipulate you into a job you hate because he thinks it's best for you.", to which James responds, very quietly to prevent his father from hearing, "So what? He can't honestly control me?". His tone of voice, no matter how confident the words themselves were, still shook with an uncertain fervor. "It's working, isn't it? You're considering giving in, giving up!", "No...", "He's forcing you to change. He's a nuisance, a pest.", "He's my f-father...", "A father doesn't try to invalidate you. A father doesn't try to force an adult into something they hate.", "Yeah...", "You need to stop him.", "Yeah.", "You need to remove him.", "W-well...", the last word having caught in James's throat. Remove? This voice couldn't have meant... "It did. Your father will not stop until he's forced you into this. And he's just going to control everything else. Where you are, to make sure you're making the most of the business. Who you marry, to continue a legacy that'll just continue work that others have done better. He'll control how you walk and talk, how you eat and breathe, no matter how old you are. For as long as he lives, this man will be over your shoulder, turning you into the man who is completely subservient, someone who will be a puppet to the machine until the strings cut on your death bed. Do you want that? Then you'll have to end this mayhem. Before it takes hold on everything you stand for.". Despite what, in hindsight, was similar manipulation at work, James still took this into account before standing up, surprising Maxwell before he angrily asked, "James? James, what are you doing? Sit back down!", his voice angry until his son stepped towards the desk, the table adorned with Maxwell's plaque as C.E.O and founder, as well as what appeared to be a picture and a bust commemorating, and in the likeness of, James's paternal grandfather, Alan Wayne Warner. Picking up the bust with his right hand, James began approaching Maxwell, who began screaming out, "James, put that down right n-", before being interrupted by marble smashing into Maxwell's skull, blood and pieces of what used to be a bust hitting the ground as Maxwell fell onto his back, too stunned to scream. James then knelt down next to his father, his knees resting near the pieces of marble, before he wrapped his hands around Maxwell's neck. As the skin of the older man began to turn more and more blue and his breaths began to quicken, he opened his eyes again. Everything had a red tint to it, attributed to the blood pouring down the wound on the man's forehead, painting his perception as he looked up to his son. Slowly, what was an angry expression turned to a calmer one...before a sickening grin began to emerge, the right side of his mouth twitching as much as his right eye. Maxwell tried to choke out a call for help, but all that came out of his mouth was what sounded like a sob, as tears emerged from the man's eyes. James suddenly loosened up, his grin fading as his hazel eyes burned with tears as well...before his grin returned as his eyes glazed over, the man seemingly no longer in control of years of pent up rage as he suddenly wrapped his hands around his father's chin and the top of his head, before twisting his neck with a crack that would have been heard from miles if not for the soundproof walls, thunder cracking at the precise moment to emphasize the point. As James stood back up, his father's corpse lying on the floor as rain hit the window harder and harder, he turned his head to the left. Looking outside, James heared the voice again, this time having dropped all pretenses of being James's internal thoughts. "Well, James. You did it. You murdered your father. You're free. What are you going to do, now?", only for James to say, his voice having changed to a much more unhinged tone, "Take over.", leading the voice to say, "Hmm?". James continues, "I loved doing that. The rush of the kill, feeling him struggle. It was exhilarating, and I need more of that. And, well...what kills many? War. Violence, fought under the pretense of self defense and territorial control. With the rise of automation, W.I.P's War Droids will sweep the world, aiding those who pay the price to keep their soldiers alive. My technology, my intelligence...my power.", as he opened the curtain to reveal Osaka, the view stretching to encompass most of the city as he spoke. "I've changed because of you. I'm different. A new man. And thus, I need a name. An image.". Turning back to his father, he began to rifle through his pockets until he found it: a six-shot, 44. Magnum revolver customized with Maxwell's initials on the grip. As he picked it up, he held it with one hand and not a finger on the trigger as he stepped back to the curtain. "Until that weak compassion, that need for peace, comes back to haunt me...James Warner is dead...", before pausing to sit down at the desk, placing the revolver on the desk as he pulled out a book, it's title showing it to be the book about the Cult of Jericho, leading another voice to speak to him, this one being...different then any human he's ever heard. "Pull a name from the ether. Give yourself something that will be inconspicuous, a name that can't be associated with danger.". Flipping through the book, he reads some of the pages until his eyes turn to a sticky note on the back of the book. It reads, "If you need Herzog: Theren Norfolk", along with a phone number. Picking up the office phone, he calls the number, the dial tone barely ringing a single time before it picks up. "...Hello?", the voice says, calm and collected with no emotion or caring. Warner then says, "Hello! This is...Jess. Jess Warner. I'm calling because I was told you know something about someone or something named...Herzog?", with the phone call continuing as the night went on...

...Wow.

If any of you are offended, or disturbed, or thought I took things too far, or simply had this hit too close to home, I'm sorry. This is the story I want to tell, and I'm sorry that I troubled you with this. This actually troubled me too. I wrote this thinking it would be disturbing and a way to forward Jess's character. By the time I finished, I was saddened. Apart from some of the more supernatural events, this seems all too real: someone pushed over the edge and hurting and/or killing someone they love, someone close to them. I am sorry if I hurt you guys by writing this. With that said, next intermission will be lighter in tone, since I had an idea for it to be a bit more happy, so if you guys still wanna go through with Chapter Three, think of it as therapy.

BiggerFish and Demon will be included in Chapter Three, Round Zero, so sorry I couldn't get to you guys yet.

Alright. We might just begin with 8 players. Nothing against that, I can't expect everyone here to join in, but it still means that there will be less. I might introduce reinforcements just this once, just in case someone joins in. Also, due to an idea I've been working on, I will "fudge", or set, the Chapter's gametype, location, and date myself due to said idea.

Chapter Three will begin when I can get to it.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Zero: Norfolk
W.I.P Laboratories, Osaka, Japan
Early Morning, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

In dreams, one is not tethered to reality. Fantasy and wonder fill the subconscious mind like words spilling from a book into their thoughts as they drift into the veil of unconsciousness. Despite this, nightmares prowl into the darkness, feeding onto the fear that knows no existence. And as the sound of what seems like marble and bone shattering echoes through the chamber of the mind, one of the few men still dreaming awakens.

Beirus springs up from his seat, his mind wandering as he looks around. He is in a limousine, it's speed fast yet relaxing as he leans back into the rich leather seats. He turns his head left and right, still groggy as he turns and shifts in his seat. To his left is Logan "Jaws" Sawyer, still dressed in the hoodie, though with the change that the hood is down, revealing messy, black hair that is parted in the middle. To his right are Jess Warner and Veronica Sawyer, the two of them sat right next to eachother as they drink what appears to be whiskey from some martini glasses as they become more and more engrossed in each other's conversation. Beirus, not wanting to interrupt the couple, turns to Logan and says, "Um, I kind of dozed off. Where are we going, again?", the magic user turning to Beirus without any visible annoyance. "Um, I believe Jess said we were going to the main labs or something. I think he said something about bringing the dead back, or something.", he says, his voice calm with a helpful tone, leading Beirus to nod and slink back into his seat. After around 15 minutes more, the limo stops in front of W.I.P's Headquarters, which contains Jess's office among other offices. The four of them pile out of the car, Beirus and Logan stepping out and stopping in front of the building, it's height truly making it scrape the skies as it's silver windows gleam in the sunlight. Out of the car then comes Jess and Veronica, the two of them still holding both glasses of whiskey, before they all step inside. The main room at the bottom is the reception desk, with an older man sitting there filing paperwork. Jess walks towards him, the other three sitting down and waiting, but before long, Jess comes back to the group before leading them to an elevator. They all pile in, and Jess picks a floor near the top, the push of the button being accompanied by said button glowing yellow. As they ascended, Beirus asked a quick question, "Why is the laboratory in the main office?", to which the response from Veronica is, "My guess is that Jessie likes nerds.". Jess merely grins, the rest of them continuing to discuss topics like plot holes in films. Finally, the elevator stops at what appears to be, well, a laboratory. The room is black, with very bright lights overhead, giving the darkness a yellow glow that permeates throughout the facility. There are men and women in labcoats, men and women in Hazmat and Radiation suits, and what appear to be several robotic endoskeletons being tested via a treadmill, each droid walking in place as some scientists report their findings onto some clipboards. Jess begins his grand tour, obviously having fun as he leads all of them through the facility. "Well, this is the Laboratory, you all know this. Those are the W.I.P Mark XIVs. We're still testing them, figuring out the works, you know how these things do.", leading them over to the aforementioned robots and scientists. Jess then leads them through to a foundry, saying, "This is the Warner Industrial Program's Foundry. We make robotic parts here, we repair droids and guns here. It's our little repair station here.", with both Logan and Veronica replying with, "That's pretty cool.", causing Jess to say, "Pretty cool? This is- I mean, yeah it's pretty cool, but it's not what, or rather who, I wanted to show you. Follow me.", leading them to...what could only be described as slightly nightmarish. It appeared to be a sub-room, with pods and autopsy tables containing several humans. What made Beirus almost vomit was that every single body on the tables...were past opponents. DigitalDemon with a bullet in his skull, Hawk with a gaping stab wound in his skull, BiggerFish with his head and arm missing, and the list went on and on. Meanwhile, the pods had everyone who lived, save BiggerFish...again. Another version of Hawk with a healing, yet still busted nose. Sir Intrigue, or perhaps just Person, with his fingers growing back inside of an odd blue liquid. A fresh new face, with a display reading "Subject Alpha-Niner 312, "Dolosus Doleus"" was also in the liquid, no injuries dotting him what so ever. Beirus and Veronica cover their mouths with their hands, while Logan puts on a face of disgust and discomfort. Jess, meanwhile, is also disturbed, but braves through it as he approaches a scientist. He is wearing a standard lab coat, and has pale skin that's a much more healthy pale then Jess or Jaws has. He has no hair except for some white tuffs, and he's holding a clipboard under his left arm. Jess speaks to him for a few seconds, before leading him to the group. "Veronica, Logan, Beirus. This is my Research Director.", he says, turning the Director's attention to the group. He wore opaque glasses that showed neither eye at all, and he's wearing dark grey scrubs. "Meet my friend Logan, my girlfriend Veronica, and my other friend Beirus.", he continues, because I've figured it out.. The Director turns to Beirus before speaking, his voice with no emotion or caring, a deadpan tone as though speaking to an individual bored of lift itself, "You are Beirus?", leading said Wiki-Warrior to say, "Yes, sir. What's your name?", to which the Director responds with, "I am Theren Norfolk.", that simple sentence being all it took to shake Beirus. If the man in front of him was still speaking, neither sound nor visual played out as Beirus could only barely acknowledge him. Theren Norfolk. The Operator said he would aid their plans, aid the apocalypse, and he's right there. Finally, he is able to hear the conversation from Theren and Jess. "So, okay. I was told you know about the thing, you had your guys figure it out, yeah? So, where's Her-", "No.", "N-No?", "What I'm doing here is aiding you with the Wiki-Warriors. Bringing them back again and again, just for them to die again. I wish to observe their behavior on the battlefield. Let me do that, and Herzog is yours.". Stepping back, Jess considers it for a moment, before nodding and shaking Theren's hand. Logan turns to Beirus, saying, "You ready?", to which Beirus nods. Theren turns to a table, interrupting what might have been their teleportation to casually observe a table, with a Red SOUL hovering over a pile of blood and gore. [7] Suddenly, with a glow of purple light, the gore re-assembles around the SOUL, before transforming back into DigitalDemon, who gasps for breath before she looks around, scared. Theren merely says, "Digital Demon II. Alright, now you may take us.", leading to Logan waving his hands, before a purple light envelops everyone it can, teleporting them away...

After only a day, BiggerFish and co. have reassembled at the table, preparing to head out. After drinking coffee and making small talk, it becomes time to go. Before he can, however, Alexis checks her phone before springing up from her seat and rushing to the door, before she swings it open to reveal a box addressed to "Ernest Thornhill" on the step. Placing it onto the table, she pulls a crowbar out from under the table before cracking the box open. Inside are 4 Bluetooth speakers, meant to be connected to the ears of all four members of the cell. "Alright, so here's what we got for..ahem, "Ernest Thornhill's security detail". Even though everyone's gone, it still got here.", says Alexis, everyone grabbing one. Abigail then says, "This way, we can all talk to eachother without using our mobile phones, in case a number comes up.", leading to BiggerFish nodding. He places it in his ear, just in time as it were as a purple light envelops his body. Just before he goes, Abigail says, "Please make it back this time!", to which Fish replies with, "I will...", a smile on his face before he disappears completely...

Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Early Morning, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

As quickly as it happened, the purple light left Jess, Theren's, and the Sawyer's eyes as they looked out to a museum, many different train engines being on open display of all sorts of colors. In the middle of the outdoors, 9 figures were beginning to wake up, one of them being the now groggy Beirus in his armor, as they all rose to their feet. Looking around, they spot Jess pull his 44. Magnum out of his pocket before aiming it at the sky, before saying, "There is no objective...you're only goal is to kill each other. Since there's one less of you, we'll be willing to let in one additional Wiki-Warrior, but otherwise, it's a free for all.". With earplugs being firmly in the ears of Logan and Veronica, and simple stoicism in Theren's facial expression, Jess says, "...GO!", before firing the gun into the air, signalling the battle to commence.

BSN: Finally, am I right?

Yes, Chapter Three is finally here! There's some plot, and it's shown just how people come back time after time. Also, I actually didn't fix this one. I was having second thoughts so I rolled the D4, and I got a Deathmatch, so I just knew that I had an idea. I rando'd the location, and now we're here. Also, Elephant Parade, your character's gender is, in fact, a play on the name. You'll see what I mean. Now...onto the sheets.

Then steal Beirus' Aether Embodiment, use it to teleport myself to America and start creating giant meteors to strike all over Japan. But have most of them fall on the where the battle begun.

Throw the Adventure Core at Hawk for a distraction, then attack from behind with a barbed-wire garrote!  Or just bash them in the head with the spool.

Preferably, before they attack.

Warp Hawk's soul into a little Philosopher's Stone if nobody else has killed him yet, or if his soul is still around after. Before it gets to the Maw, though. Use my Alchemy and Aether Embodiment for this, and use them to destroy all of Hawk's allies and abuses of my stolen article as well.

Afterwards, or if Hawk is dead already, Rift to a cave on Mars.

If I need to defend myself for any reason at any point, use my Alchemy and Aether Manipulation to deal with any threats. If that threat has a soul, make it a Philosopher's Stone in retaliation.

If you mean the paragraph at the lab, then it wasn't. My idea is that the unaltered players, before they gain any articles, are their real selves. So, I put that in. It's just something I did because I wanted to be nice.  :)

Huh, didn't think Hawk could match up to Beirus, but he can. Now, of course the two of them can lose. I'm just saying that I didn't expect that.

It would mostly depend on how you used an item. Since this isn't Minecraft, you could just pour the contents of a splash potion onto someone, and you could craft more, thus repairing the contents. If you Splash Potion it, which keeps you out of range, then the bottle shatters, and if you pick up the pieces of glass, you could repair it. Same with Ammo Containers. If you pick up a shell casing, you could repair it into an actual bullet. Otherwise, it would be a replacement, and you can't pick up more Assets. ...Except you need to pick up the shards and the casings...hold on, I'll change the ability to something better.

@Everyone: Wow, first day? Well, the next turn will be coming soon, so stay tuned.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round One: Pain
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Early Morning, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

As the clouds move through the sky and the sun's rays bear down on the Tsumaya Museum, the loud ringing of a 44. Magnum round piercing the air brings the attention of the Wiki-Warriors to each other, before they begin their attacks. PirateJoe springs up first, the vivid memories of the snow and wind just a day ago giving him a smile on his face, and an even bigger one emerging when he figures out his powers. "Heh, time to fight yet again. Now, lets see. Easy, normal, hard, or lunatic? Let's have fate decide.", he mutters, before holding out his hands and concentrating his powers. [4] His palms begin to glow before a red plasma laser bursts out of his hands, three bursts shooting out towards one of the closest warriors: BiggerFish. [4 v 2] [6 v 1] [8 v 1] One laser slashes close by to her, the beam burning her skin lightly as she recoils...into the second's path, blasting through her stomach and causing her to fall onto her back. As she rises to her knees, the third and final laser approaches her, it's heat radiating off of the surroundings before it's path meets BiggerFish. She holds her hand out before collapsing, the blast seemingly missing her until she tries to stand, and cannot. At that, she looks at her right hand, only to see a stump laser-cauterized in place of it, the missing limb sailing off in an arc away from her. At that, all she can do is yell out, staying on her knees as plans seep out of her mind, replaced with pain as she nothing from the wrist down...

Simple words echo through Demon's mind, the phrase reflecting his exact thoughts on the situation. ".... Here we go again....", he thinks to himself, not sure if the tone his thoughts took reflected exasperation or acceptance at the situation. As he looks to the screaming BiggerFish, her pain visibly apparent on her face, he turns back towards the Museum before heading towards the door, wanting no part in the current shenanigans. Peeking his head into the door, he looks around for anything he can use to amplify his guitar. [8] Seeing nothing inside, he turns to the parking lot only to see an amp laying around, possibly abandoned or simply left there, laying there. Demon races towards it, eyeing a detailed wood finish and black speakers, before dragging the thing inside, or at least attempting to. [4] He doesn't pull it up, however, merely because it's a mite too heavy. If he tries again, he might be more successful, but at that very moment, he merely turns back to the battle, the sound of fighting piercing what little silence existed as time progressed.

If one word described Hawk right now, it would be "thrill". The thrill of battle, the thrill of war, drives the now psychopathic Wiki-Warrior more then ever. As Hawk steps forward, his eyes still calm as the bloodshed had only started by someone else's hands, he turns to everyone before holding out his hands, his psyche bending and slightly tearing at each individual seam as time progressed. [7] Suddenly, the sounds of pained yells are silenced as everyone looks up to see hundreds of moths dot the sky, each individual insect seeming poised to black out the sky with their swarm. As suddenly as they appear, they suddenly dart down, each one charging forward with similar intent to slaughter, same as their master. [1 v 2+2+2] [3 v 3] [5 v 5] [9 v 6] [2 v 2] [9 v 10-2] [6 v 1] [4 v 7] First, a small swarm flies towards Beirus, their wings flapping like an engine as they work their way to the target. Needless to say, the small insects are either batted away or crushed by the skilled Alchemist, each one retreating out of a truly living self preservation. Alchemizing the dead ones, he creates a small red blob, not quite a Philosopher's Stone, but it'll work. Next, they approach Elephant Parade, but whether through simply closing her mouth and covering her ears, or batting them away, they are once again unable to touch her. Person, perched atop his horse, is also attacked, but rifle butt meets exoskeletoned skulls, and before long, only retreating bugs escape yet again. Finally, a single swarm succeeds in part of their mission, as they fly away from the main museum to a small parking lot close by, where Demon is standing. Moth after moth flies towards him, and though he tries to bat them away, some of them manage to fly into his mouth and ears, each one's movement sending painful jolts through his skull and nerves, causing him to collapse to his knees in agony. NRDL is also attacked by the monstrosities, his ears tuned to the sound of dozens of wings flapping, creating a sound that would become associated with a full frontal assault via the moths. Despite their wings turning into an orchestra of flapping, NRDL still holds off the insane and violent bugs, making sure that not a single one touched him. BiggerFish stays stock still and in pain, the combination of a lack of adrenaline and all too much agony causing her to be caught unawares by the moths. Despite fighting some off, one still manages to fly into her mouth, not causing much pain, but having the chance to do massive damage should it go further. PirateJoe comes next on the agenda of the mission, each moth darting forth without much self preservation or care in the world. Despite being less careful, they get more done, with most, if not a vast majority of them flying into many orifices. Mouth, ears, nose, and other areas are all assaulted by the moths. Joe collapses onto the ground, hitting the ground as he begins convulsing in violent pain. Finally, the new guy Dolosus Doleus is set upon by the moths, but once again, some well placed hits with a rifle butt and his bare hands smack them away, leaving him unharmed as all the surviving moths swarm around a train close to Hawk.

Hawk then turns to the Disgraced Alchemist, his eyes finally set upon with bloodlust as his vision gains a sick, red tint. Placing his left hand up forward, it begins to glow purple and yellow, the Netherrealm magics of Shinnok forming into his palms as he points it at the Alphonse Elric-resembling man known as Beirus, before he fires the magic at him. [6 v 3+2] Beirus, after fighting off the moths, turns his head only to see a purple and yellow orb spark and glow towards him. He clasps his hands together, and tries to transmute a wall up, but before it rises high enough to block the magic, it hits Beirus's armor, seeping through to his flesh, stunning him. Magic returns to Hawk, the purple light colliding with his chest causing certain parts of his clothing to glow yellow. As he begins laughing, he first decides to use his powers to teleport to America. [5+2] He chops his hand across the veil of time-space, a red Rift slashing through the fabric of the universe and causing red light to shine through everything. Hawk steps through, flashing through everything as his mind warps through seeing the space between space. Finally, he flies out of the Rift and lands near a city, a blue sign that reads "City of Los Angeles" adorning a nearby sign. Next on Hawk's insane agenda was a very familiar action: meteors. Lots of them. [10+2] Lots of them. Many very large meteors block out the sky as they fly towards Japan, and not only do they all assault Japan, but their size causes them to have a better chance of death. [3+2 v 4+2+2] [10+2 v 9] [1+2 v 2] [9+2 v 6-1] [5+2 v 7] [8+2 v 3-3 (Extreme Pain+Weakness)] [9+2 v 8-2 (Extreme Pain)] [8+2 v 5] The first large meteor to hit the area starts towards Beirus, but his Alchemy creates a stone wall, which causes the flaming space rock to immediately break apart into small fragments and hit the ground. Then, another meteor slams into Elephant Parade, causing her to hit the ground before the rock hits her right arm, pinning the limb under the meteor, burning and holding her arm to the ground as he screams in violent pain. Person turns his head to see a small meteor, just in time for it to smack his face, causing his cheek to bleed lightly. Digital Demon turns to see a meteor come towards him, and as he runs, it impacts the ground behind him, sending him flying into the museum. He goes unconscious on impact, only briefly seeing stone and chunks of rock becoming shrapnel as it stabs into his chest, arms, and legs, causing a fair amount of blood to pool under him, along with his left foot on fire, burning brightly and painfully. NRDL and his Colmillo turn to see another meteor come towards them, and they all duck into a train carriage, the meteor crashing into the ground as some fire burns. Fish isn't so lucky, as she looks up from her moth induced pain to see a giant rock smash right into her painfully. Her mind blanks out into nothing but the darkness, as her heart stops. PirateJoe also looks up to see a meteor, and in pain, he begins crawling away and shaking. He doesn't go too far, as the meteor smashes right into the ground...with his right leg with it, pinning it under the rock. He falls into the crater, his leg still under the meteor as he feels more pain then he thought possible. Finally, Dolosus sees a meteor smashes through the sky, it's path causing fear to settle in as it smashes through his left arm. Dolosus hits the ground and looks up to see his left arm dislocated and close to being torn off as blood pools under it. Hawk grins, before sitting down as he thinks of all the death happening.

BiggerFish has been cru- "This was a triumph...I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI)"

BiggerFish suddenly wakes up inside of a train, no pain, moths, or anything hurting her in any way, shape or form. Her right hand has returned, though with a searing heat causing her mind to spin slightly. As she looks down, she sees that her stomach wound not only remains, but familiar crimson liquid dots her clothing and the train car, which carries pain, but no pain or weakness strong enough to hurt her yet again. She suddenly gets a call on her earpiece, and she places a hand up to it. Before she can even say hello, a British voice filled with worry and fear begins speaking into her mic. "Fish? Fish, please tell me you're still alive!", Abigail yells, worried about her. "Yes, Abigail, I'm fine.", Fish remarks, Abigail sighing in relief before continuing. "Oh, thank God! I could have I-...wait, are you British now? And a woman?", to which BiggerFish merely chuckles a little bit before confirming. Abigail responds with, "...I don't mind.". Before Fish can ask what Abigail means, she doubles over in pain. She looks around for Hawk, but he's no where to be found, adrift to the veil of space time...

Person clutches his cheek in anger, blood on his fingertips giving him a violent anger as he clicks the safety of the Vortex Rifle off and turns his head to try and find Hawk, but try as he might, the purple light has caused the psycho to vanish off to God knows where, causing Person no small degree of anger as he stays perched upon his horse. He gallops around the museum, a scowl on his lips as he trots off.

Beirus looks around at the corpses of the Moths on the ground, the lifeless twitches of their wings giving off a sinister vibe, an omen of what he knows lies beyond the fabric of space-time. Stepping forward with the object resembling the Philosopher's Stone, he looks around the battlefield, fire and stone littering the ground as everything around him looked more like scorched Earth. After all that, the Earth around the museum seemed to crack and burn, the result of several large meteors destroying land, building, and train engines on display. Resolving to get revenge for driving home the end of days, as well as all the pain and violence on display, Beirus clasps his hands together, making sure to work in his manipulation of the Aether to assist in his endeavors. [1+2+2] Beirus opens his hands, tearing a Rift into space-time, the resulting portal being white, with blue light emanating from it. Beirus steps in, and the familiar sense of warping and shifting plague his mind once again. Despite this, he looks forth to see the exit Rift shifting through many different places, before he begins to use his Aether Manipulation to shift it back to normal. [2+2] He manages to get it back to California, and Earth, but he quickly finds he's not quite Hawk is, or at least he assumes. He leaves the Rift to hit sand, looking up to see a sign reading that his current location...is Fresno. Looking up, he tilts his head before just turning his head to the south, thinking about where Hawk could be...though he has a feeling...

NRDL looks around, seeing the destruction unfold around him like nothing he's seen before. Fire, stone, and blood paint the area like a demented canvas as he looks out into the fire, the visage of an explosion and angel wings giving him an emotional pain like he's only felt once before. Turning his head, he sees that Jess and co. have disappeared, a faint purple light disappearing quickly giving him the clue he needs to figure out what happened. Turning his head to his Colmillo dogs, he whistles to the five Las Plagas infected dogs before running away from the scene, the Colmillos following him as the cracked Earth under them settles, dust surrounding them as the war around them continues away from them. They stop at the Parking Lot, lots of cars having parked there to unintentionally aid in their escape.

Dolosus Doleus rises to his feet, wincing in pain as his bleeding left arm dangles lifelessly off of his shoulder. He turns his head to his Mafioso comrade, the pinstripe outfit and fedora complemented by a drum magazine loaded Thompson Sub Machine Gun, more commonly nicknamed a Tommy Gun, recognizable on the mobster. "W-well then. You r-ready for this Paulie? Pump their guts f-fulla lead!", he stutters out, the pain causing him discomfort as his feet carry him to any available cover. [4] He finds a stack of wood in the center of the outdoor area for whichever reason (+1 Defense). Paulie also dives behind cover, and they both look for the most available Wiki-Warrior. (Status Check) They both see Person galloping around out in the open, his horse and him unaware of their survival. Paulie aims at the horse, while Dolosus aims right at Person himself. [2-1 v 4] [8 v 8] Dolosus shoots first, bullet after bullet flying after Person, causing him to duck at the loud sounds, as each bullet flies out of the gun smashes the walls far from Person's general area. At that, the horse panics and gallops away from the bullets, causing Paulie to miss as well. Dolosus and Paulie duck back down, checking their ammo to find that they both fired 5 bullets each.

Pain. A word that continues to come up time and time again in this conflict, spreading the fire of war and battle throughout the Earth that's burning more and more. Elephant Parade feels the same pain as her arm is pinned under a chunk of a meteorite that smashed through the sky like God's fist had smashed through the heavens and struck the Earth. She turns her head to a wooden plank, seeing Dolosus and Paulie aiming down at Person, with Dolosus specifically having trouble even aiming at the horse riding Wiki-Warrior. Parade unlatches a Splash Potion of Poison from her belt and bites the cork off, the poison inside bubbling and green. Parade chucks it at the two of them, only a small amount of the dangerous liquid spilling out as it flies towards them. [7 v 2+1] The green, bubbling liquid splashes onto Dolosus and Paulie, and the two of them collapse onto the ground, knees and hands hitting the floor as the two of them vomit onto the ground, giving headaches and stomach pains as Elephant looks to the rock before turning to her pinned arm, her eyes closed as she tries to pry it out without massive damage. [9] The rock is surprisingly light, possibly because it's simply a chunk of the bigger whole. Elephant pries her arm out without much damage. She stands up, not as injured as she should be, as she watches the destruction unfold around her.

BSN: Wow. Just...just wow.

Well, since this turn had a few actions dependent on turn order, I'm asking if you guys want Initiative? You know, a rolled order of who goes first? Pros include actions like Fish's and Person's will be easier to roll for, and it'll be more fair. Cons include more random chance, and a new system that will be hit or miss after months of our current system. Both sides are right, which is why I'm asking now. Thanks for your help.

Well, I never knew giant fucking moths like that could go up my nose...either way I tried my best to get rid of them via ice magic, insects like moths cant survive in cold so naturally they would die after being frozen, right? I knew that if this plan worked I had to get this boulder off of me and make myself a crutch and splint, probably out of ice. Gota love that ⑨.

I was thinking more color symbolism. You know, like red is fire and blue is water, etc.? That was my interpretation, anyway. It will work with painting literal fire and water and other elements, thoughs.

Shoot back at Dolosus. If I kill him, intimidate his mafioso buddy into following me by telling him that I'm the new boss in charge around here.

As for initiative, yeah it can be a mixed bag. I don't usually mind it too much, but in some games it makes the flow of battle go back and forth too much.

If you add it in, consider bonuses and penalties based on the combatants situations. Are they in cover? Are they trying an ambush? Do they have the high ground? What ranges are they at? How about their health? Is one of them on the ground and having their face beat in? Adjust accordingly.

Edit: As an aside, my character is possibly the most anachronistic of the lot. Nothing like a greek philosopher(not really but close enough) on horseback in an 1800's outfit holding a laser rifle.

I was actually thinking of the bonuses and penalties system, actually. It's just that I haven't implemented it yet for whatever reason. I'll get to putting it in at some point, as I do love details and the little touches.

Find Hawk. Kill Hawk with Alchemy and Aether Manipulation. Use the Stone. Actually, fuck the finding, we're in the same state. Do the massive Philosopher's Stone transmutation from before, augmented by the Stone and Aether Manipulation. There is no escape. Defend self with Aether Manipulation, Alchemy, and the Stone if it isn't used up.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Two: Aftermath
Tsuyama Railroad Education Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Early Morning, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

Pain. Burning. Air being sucked out of the unconscious lungs of the passed out man, the Darkness surrounding his vision as a chill moves through his spine. [7] As said feeling returns to the man's senses, the Darkness begins to fade back to grey stone and silver marble as Demon's eyes open, a hand reaching up to grab his aching skull as his ears begin ringing. Though the pain doesn't subside from his head, a painful burning emerging from his left leg, to which he looks down to see an orange flame spread from his skin, flickering and sparking from it's position on his foot. Yelling, Demon tries to stamp his foot out from the flames, the sound of yelling faintly exiting his lips as he panics. [5-2(Pain, Marble Shrapnel)-1(Panic)] Pain shoots up Demon's leg, and his panic at the flame and destruction cause him to stop his efforts of extinguishing the flame, causing him to fall onto his back as the fire spreads up his leg via his pants, burning his skin even more. Looking around, he turns onto his stomach and tries to find the amp. [8-3 (Explosive Destruction)] He finds the speaker still in the parking lot, torn and burnt with it's wood blackened by flame. It still appears functional, but without being there to test it, Demon can only make the assumption that the amp still works. Demon sits up, the flame still burning in his left leg as he leans against a wall, still in pain as his agony filled groans fill out the air around him.

As the chunk of meteor slowly crushes his leg, the man known as PirateJoe begins writhing in heavy amounts of pain, with millions of insects crawling around under his skin and near his veins, his whimpers turning to yells as he grips his right leg, before his eyes glaze over slightly. He looks around unsure of what happened until he looks down to find his right leg free...yet artificial, a prosthetic leg in it's place, shimmering in the sunlight, it's status as a memory causing him to shake his head before he tries to freeze the moths out of his head, the pain distracting him slightly, but not as much as it should thanks to a combination of Magic and adrenaline. [5-1(Pain)+2(Ice Magic)] Joe freezes the moths internally, turning them to ice statues. Joe, no longer feeling the pain of millions of moths, but only the pain from his slowly disabling leg, tries to get them to leave his body through any way. [6+2] Manipulating the moths using his magic, who are now covered in the freezing cold, he pulls every single moth out through his mouth, paying attention to just how big the Spectronissa are. After that, he moves his arms over to his right leg, and attempts to pull it out despite the risks. [4-2(Risk)] As he pulls, he begins to feel pain, looking down to see skin beginning to tear. Leaving it alone, he looks up to the burning museum, and sees the destruction, before bowing his head back to the dirt.

Remaining in the parking lot as the fires rage on and the stone shatters, NRDL and his Colmillo look around for a car to take, having plenty of options. [Quality Check: 6] Most of the native Japanese cars are either damaged by the meteors or have windows too hard to shatter. NRDL slams his fist into the hood of one car, only to look up to see that the car he struck was a white 2003 Ford Expedition, just in Japan for whatever reason. Checking the car, he finds it locked, meaning he tries to break it open with his arm. [7-2 (Glass (Material and Danger))] Shards of the broken window at the door slice through NRDL's right shirt sleeve, also slashing through his skin, causing blood to drip onto the asphalt. Luckily, no pieces got stuck in the Wiki-Warrior's flesh, though that doesn't affect the pain from the blow. Reaching through the window, he unlocks the door and flies in, before diving down to try to hotwire the Expedition. [4] As blood and pain emanate from NRDL's arm, he scowls and grits his teeth as he pulls his hand back in pain, before going back to work on the hotwire. [6] While some minor shocks hit NRDL, he manages to pull through as the car starts up after some sputtering. Opening the back door, the Colmillo get inside as NRDL plans out where to go next.

As the horse known as Rock of Gibraltar gallops away from the gunshots ringing out from the classic mobster Machine Gun, Person is trying to rear it back, his hands pulling on the scared horse's reins as he tries to pull it back towards the battle. [7] "Hold on, hold on!", he yells to the stallion, while also pulling back on Gibraltar's reins to calm the horse. Rock of Gibraltar, despite his natural instincts, still halts upon his master's order. Person reaches into the saddle's bag and grabs an apple that I somehow missed. It's been...some time since this happened, after all. He feeds it to Rock of Gibraltar, who calms down visibly as Person also strokes his mane and calms him. After a second, Person turns him around, and rides back towards Dolosus and Paulie, aiming his Vortex Rifle, yet not charging it, at Dolosus. [3+2 v 6-3(Heavy Poisoning)+1] A plasma shot slashes through the air at a top speed, before slamming into Dolosus's good arm, the heated plasma cauterizing the wound but doing nothing to stop the pain as Dolosus once again vomits on the ground. Person and Rock of Gibraltar go back a bit, likely trying to avoid being fired upon as the sounds of agony once again fill the air.

As she steps out of the train car whilst clutching the bleeding wound in her stomach, BiggerFish begins to speak to herself, her voice calming her as she says, "Ow. Thank God for the Portal credits.", before clicking her Earpiece back on and saying "You have any idea where Hawk went?", to which the sound of an angelic humming is the response. [3] "Hmm...no. Sorry, but none of our methods are picking anything up. I'm not entirely sure something can jam the signal. He might be in a remote area, or at least a location without anything to track, like a m-mobile phone, or the like.". BiggerFish sighs, before looking around to find an exit. [7] Though the front door appears barred by debris, a hole has been haphazardly carved into the wall, to which Fish shrugs before leaving outside. As she does so, she looks out to a Parking Lot, and tries to find anything of interest. [7] She sees what appears to be the Wiki-Warrior NRDL backing up in a white Ford Expedition with the Las Plagas infected Colmillo in the back seat. Before she can go towards him, a mechanical voice speaks to the left of her. "Thank you for accepting escort service from the Aperture Science Party Escort Bot. Please assume the party escort submission position.", it says, causing BiggerFish to turn to the voice, revealing itself to be a pink eyed, Portal 1 era core, with two robotic arms at it's side and what appears to be wheels, allowing it to take Aperture Science employees to various shindigs and get togethers. (http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Party_Escort_Bot) BiggerFish merely looks at the android for a few seconds before concluding with, "...What.", a semi surprised look on her face.

Vomit. Not the prettiest word and certainly not the prettiest sight, but Dolosus has more to worry about now. He looks up to Person, close enough to taste the blood spilling from his cheek, as he bows back under cover. He tries to use his seemingly endless pain as a vector, a way to help him. [1] Unfortunately, the combination of wound pain and the pain of the poisoning causes him to wretch and vomit before giving into the pain and falling over, unconscious yet still in cover. Paulie looks to his Mob Boss and shakes him, trying to wake him up. [4] While it seems to momentarily rouse him, Paulie merely clutches his stomach, causing Dolosus to drift back to sleep. At that, Paulie looks up to Person, still trotting away, before aiming the Tommy Gun at him. [9-3 v 4] Five more shots ring out from the sickened Paulie's aim, and three strike Person, two hitting his chest and a single bullet hitting his arm. Person presses a hand to the wounds, before the spooked Rock of Gibraltar begins galloping, causing Person to have to try to hold on. [5] He manages to grip the reins with one hand, but finds himself slipping to the side as Rock of Gibraltar continues running off, Paulie laughing to himself at the successful strike.

Elephant Parade stares at the carnage around her with a somber look on her face, imagining the civilians and how they would react to such a place being attacked. Sadness and "what if"s aside, however, Parade still needs to escape the broken and destroyed area, to which she looks up to try and find a roof. [Auto-Success] She seems a roof just above one of the engines, not much higher ground, but high enough that she can feel a bit more comfortable in the battle. She pulls out her ice picks, climbs aboard the engine, and stabs the picks into the roof, to which she tries to climb atop the roof. [10+2] She doesn't just climb, however. Despite her injuries, she grabs onto the picks and flips onto the roof, making sure to grab her picks as she crouches down onto the roof, awaiting future events.

All the way in Fresno of all places, there is a single Wiki-Warrior stood at the area. Beirus looks out into the horizon, a familiar sense of Deja Vu in the back of his mind, as he continues to look and can't find him. The nagging feeling of what he should do, the feeling of emotional torment he tries to push back. But as seconds turn to minutes and the Wiki-Warrior Hawk is no where to be found, his mind begins to turn as a single option comes to mind. At this, he clasps his palms together as a weight seems to press itself onto his heart, as a bitter tear reminds him of the past. He slams his hands down onto the ground, using Alchemy (with the Proto-Stone), Alkahestry, and the Aether to turn whatever remains of America into a Philosopher's Stone. [9+3+2] A large Transmutation Circle suddenly envelops the ground below him, the entire North American plate being swallowed by the Alchemic power. It emerges and begins working so fast, that Hawk only has one chance to escape, and if he fails in any way...he will meet the same fate as all of Africa did only a day prior.

Over in Los Angeles, Hawk looks around the area, soaking up all of the sights. Though the area around him lives up to the vision of the city found in film and video games, it's not the focus of Hawk's current plan. As he prepares to locate his equal in power Beirus and slice him to ribbons, lines resembling a Transmutation Circle appear under him with red lightning sparking from it, a red glow emanating from it. Realizing what this means, Hawk tries to escape his fate via a Rift. [2+3+2 v 1+2] He tears a Rift into Space-Time, and is about to escape his fate, but the Alchemic Dissolving/Unraveling begins much faster then he expects. His foot turns into what seems like Ribbons, causing him to fall to the floor and slowly become nothing. As he does so, he begins to scream and yell into the Rift, hoping that whatever's on the other side can hear him yell out, "This wasn't supposed to be how it happened! I WAS SUPPOSED TO RULE!". True to form of the psycho, however, he begins to laugh maniacally, his voice turning deeper and slower until the minute he disappears to the Gate, where his laughter becomes psychotic and demonic in sound and tone, fitting for the Second Incarnation of Hawk.
Beirus has performed the Ultimate Taboo...again. Beirus gets:
http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/M1216: +M1219 (Fully Automatic Shotgun 16/16. Must Rechamber after 4 shots)

Beirus feels the same weight on his shoulders as he did in his chest;the deed was done, and Hawk was dead. As he picked up the incomplete Philosopher's Stone, he sees it glow a brighter red, but otherwise remain unfinished. It seems as though there were Cult of Jericho members in the North American Plate, too, as around 5 more souls join Hawk's. The Stone, however, remains incomplete. As Beirus rises, and a purple light grants him a new gun, he looks up to see a figure in the distance, that despite being a bit far, still looks as though they're approaching Beirus. He stands up, trying to figure out what to do with whoever this person is, and why they survived the Human Transmutation.

A successful roll.

To be less of a snarky git, what I mean is a roll that is around 6 or higher, with the specific number being how much strength you get. 5 would only be half as effective, and 4 and lower would fail.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Three: Fire
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Early Morning, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

Fire. It burns, yet provides light and warmth. Good and bad. Unfortunately for Digital Demon, the only thing he can think about as he grits his teeth and tries to keep from screaming is how much the flame burns as it tears it's way through his leg. Looking down as the fire crackles into embers as it's heat tears apart his pants and skin, causing violent pain to shoot through his body, he also looks down at his hands to see two large gauntlets attached to his hands, apparently surviving the attack by Hawk earlier. He immediately tries to extinguish the flames [3] Demon wraps his hands around his leg, and it almost works, yet as the pain softens a bit, he releases the hold to find fire still around, and he remains in pain. As he grits his teeth, he becomes thankful when he realized he may have starved the fire enough to keep it at bay for another attempt. At the moment, however, he merely curses his seemingly cursed luck as he continues to cringe in pain as he looks out to see the cracks in the Earth and ruined buildings and cars, ruins in a previously bright land providing a somber mood...

After meeting the Party Escort Bot, and being surprised into a mere "what" due to it's appearance, BiggerFish thought over it's request to assume some sort of position, before remembering the game's ending. "Heh. was the first thing out of BiggerFish's mouth, her bemusement and amusement at the situation clear as day as she then lays down on her back and spreads her arms out to her sides, waiting for the bot to take her away somewhere. As the hard asphalt provides a small amount of pain, a pair of mechanical grabbers wrap around her arms as the android says, "Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position." in a mechanized voice, before slowly dragging her off in what seems like steps, giving the illusion of feet, to which Fish asks, "I thought you had feet.". The Party Escort Bot responds with, "Note: Body Weight and Proportions can affect the performance of the Aperture Science Party Escort Bot.". Fish merely rolls her eyes before looking around to see how much progress was made. [5] She looks down to find she's out of the Parking Lot, the Bot moving quite fast despite the "setback", but she also finds that she's not anywhere close to leaving to the Tsuyama Line anytime soon. She merely leans her head back, thinking as to recent events, and summing them up. "So, I became a superpowered Wiki-Warrior, met Abigail, died, came back somehow, shot Vader in the face, got the Machine, and am now a Female Brit being dragged out of harm's way by an Android from Portal. How long has it been since this all started?", she thought, as her evacuation continued.

As weight crushes bone and gasps of pain leave PirateJoe, he scrambles to try to find a way out of his current situation of the chunk of meteor currently pressing into his leg seemingly getting heavier with time, symbolic of a ticking time bomb to when Joe's bones reach a breaking point and everything snaps. Suddenly, an idea pops into his head, blue chills working their way down his fingers as he thinks. [8+2] Without much warning, Joe presses his hand to the meteor, and within seconds, the meteor turns to blue ice and crumbles instantly. At that, Joe feels his leg with his left hand, checking for broken bones to see how bad the damage was. [3-2(Pinned Limb)] The minute he touches his leg, he feels broken and crumbling bone, to which he looks down to see bone upon bone snapped out of his skin, sticking out of his now bleeding flesh like internal shrapnel as the dark red blood hits the ground. Joe then tries to at least splint it, [10+2] and uses his Ice Magic to not just splint it, but he also uses the Ice Magic to dull his senses before pushing each and every bone back into his body. His leg is still messed up, but as the frigid splint wraps around, he finds it surprisingly easy to walk around, though noting that if he wants to walk around without it, he needs to mend the shattered bones...

As tires touch asphalt and the engine purrs and growls in activity, NRDL and the Colmillo look around, the lone human leering at the entrance to the museum before cranking the car in reverse. The wheels spin as the car matches their movement, twisting the headlights to look at the museum before turning it to go forward. NRDL, pleased with the angle, then smacks his right foot into the gas pedal, causing the Ford Expedition to speed up, accelerating straight for the museum [7], slamming through a weak part of the wall [Condition Check: 8] with only scratching on the hood and sides, as it races towards [Targets: 1, Person] the horse riding Wiki-Warrior, who turns his head away from Dolosus enough to see a white Ford Expedition race towards his hanging body. [10 v 7-2(Situation)] The car smacks into the horse named Rock of Gibraltar, the whinny of the horse turning to a broken cry as most of the bones on it's right side break and snap, causing the horse to begin to fall over. What's extra unfortunate about the situation, however, is Person, to which the impact sends him flying away from Rock, [Wellness Check: 3-2(Injuries)-2(Smacked by a Car)] propelling him into a nearby train engine. The impact of metal upon spine breaks the vertebrae, the impact smashing the bleeding wounds of the Tommy Gun onto a newly stained ground, the crimson liquid making it's mark on the stone ground. The corpse, or at least paralyzed and comatose body, of Person then smacks against the floor, unmoving except for the postmortem twitches representing what could have been...
NRDL smashed into Person! NRDL gets:
http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Coco%27s_Handbag: +Coco's Handbag (Handbag/Minigun 2,500/2,500, 2 Belts of Reserve Ammo)

As for NRDL himself, [3] the impact smashes the hood and causes the car to spin out of control [10], but then not only stops, but actually parks behind cover, leaving the occupants behind a sturdy wall. [Wellness Check: 2 (NRDL), 6 (Colmillo)] The Colmillo are healthy save for some scratching from the broken glass, and one even licks NRDL...who happens to be unconscious, with blood coming out of his nose and glass becoming shrapnel as it digs into his chest and his left arm, which was broken by the impact. While NRDL is certainly safe, he's still badly injured.

[2] Darkness. It blankets our vision and leaves us in a haze as we look around to see everything except the outside world. All Dolosus Doleus can see, at least at the moment, is that darkness. [1] [Wellness Check: 10-2] Out of the abyss's confines, however, he hears the familiar noises of what sounds like someone expelling the contents of their stomach, groaning in pain before the noises stop. Judging by whatever noise comes out after, they may pull through the sickness yet.

((Auto'd)) Elephant Parade, quick and nimble as ever, tries to avoid detection from her enemies. [8] She hides from sight on the roof, the numerous distractions aiding her as she hides.

Seeing a figure in the distance normally wouldn't be a problem. It might be a friend, or a stranger, and even if it is an enemy, they're quite far. Beirus would be comforted by that knowledge, except, well...first of all, there's no one on Earth, and second, he's being hunted down by beings outside the realms of reality. Beirus muses on this, before calling out to the figure. "Are you Legion? Or Jericho? Or another pawn of the Operator? Or the other one with a phylactery?", he asks, calling out to the figure. [Auto-Selection] The figure doesn't respond, but as Beirus blinks, the figure is suddenly close enough to be readily identified: it's the cloaked figure from Jess's Office. Wearing what appears to be ancient, black clothing made up of a combination of leather and cloth scrounged together and stitched, he's wearing above that a white cloak that covers up most of his skin, save for his hands and face, though the latter isn't readily visible. His hands are covered in red scales, with several spots showing scales torn off, revealing crimson skin with black, inky and dried blood covering scars present on his hands. Though Beirus can't see the figure's face, he assumes it to be similar. Beirus blinks again, only for the figure to be right in front of him. Though not close enough to be right in Beirus's face, he predicts that the figure may try that anyway. The Figure finally speaks, his voice bone chillingly raspy and deep as he speaks, "I am no slave. I am not the revived one. I am not One. We are Legion, the evil of man.". Though he's speaking, he's not looking up to Beirus, almost as if what he said was merely an answer, nothing more. Despite this, Beirus still backs up at this, the being in his presence being a demon who, for all he knows, could kill him where he stands...
----------------------------
BSN: Uh oh...there's trouble now!

First: I would ask if you want to waitlist, Person, but honestly, you would tell me if you want to or not, so let's keep going.

Second: This turn took a while for one reason: I've been sick. And since I was sick, I didn't really have the drive to finish the turn. I do now, though, so let's go...to the sheets!

I'll have to fully heal that later... I thought to myself as i leaned against a nearby wall, and looked around for the nearest opponent, once spotting someone I cracked my knuckles and grinned. "Ice Sign, Icicle Fall" I said as I shot out bullet hell similar to one of the spell cards of a particular ice fairy...

Man those rolls. Then again, car vs horse is not exactly in the horse's favor. Then again, there's a reason large mammals are so deadly to drivers. Just ask NRDL that.

Anyway, that seemed about fair when it comes to penalties/damage. Rolling negative numbers is not conducive to survival. :P If only I was riding on a moose or something, eh? Still, such is life. To the waitlist!

I doubt I'd have gotten all that far against Beirus anyway. This was meant to be a boss fight right? Or did Hawk just turn it into one by attacking Beirus. Like, do we need to beat Beirus to win or was he just here to watch like last round.

Nope, this is not a boss fight. Beirus is a competitor, same as the rest. Still, he is the most powerful, so you could look at it as a boss battle, but the round is just a standard deathmatch.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Four: Demon
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Early Morning, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

Even as the scratching and stinging asphalt rubs her back and sends slight pain up her spine, BiggerFish couldn't be happier. She was escaping a battle that totaled the Okayama Prefecture, and most of Japan for that matter, and she was being aided by a pink cored android from Portal. [6] Turning her head to check the surroundings, she sees a blurry building far off, to which she squints to try to identify it. [9] She sees a large sign in Japanese, with an English translation under it identifying it as the train station from Tsuyama, Okayama to Okayama, Okayama. As Fish sighs, she suddenly gets a call from her Bluetooth, placing a finger to it. The adorably nervous voice of Abigail rings over it, her English accent familiar as she speaks. "Fish! Um, first of all, w-what are you d-doing?", to which Fish quite simply says, "Being dragged by a Portal android.". A distilled silence is the only thing that goes over the radio for around 20 seconds, before Abigail's voice comes back on. "I...what? Whatever, I need to ask you of something. Your current move, so to speak. Where are you going now? We still have a number relevant to the Cult of Jericho, they must be a good lead. I-if you need to do something e-else, though, th-that's fine.". Her voice peters off at the last part, her words making it clear as day that no conflict should come from either choice. BiggerFish pulls her finger off the speaker to think, as the Party Escort Bot continues making idle remarks about the Aperture Science Confectionery Testing Reward...which was just a black forest cake, judging by the description.

As fire burns through Digital Demon's leg, his flesh cooking and melting as smoke rises from the flame and impairs his vision, it's screen covering his gaze in dust and ash as it travels through the air. Yelling through the air in frustration, he bats at the flames with his Gauntlets desperately, begging for the embers and sparks to stop their painful journey through his body. [9] After what seems like hours, though it was truly a few minutes, of batting away the flame and starving it of oxygen, the fire finally dies, it's glow snuffed by the weapon of a Crystal Gem. Looking out the window, he sees the disheveled amp lying in the parking lot. He tries to hop down from his position, the shrapnel embedded in his chest and stomach not fazing him as he falls from his position. [5] He lands safely on his feet, but the force of the impact aggravates the shrapnel, causing him to begin his bleed out, weakening him significantly. He begins limping to the amp, each step a burden on his body, before he reaches the speaker box. He reaches towards the Amp with his Gauntlets, accounting for the sheer size. [8+2(Strength)-2(Injuries)] Demon hoists the amp over his head, before looking around the parking lot for a safe area. [1] Unfortunately, lady unluck continues to smile upon the poor git, as a combination of blood loss, and the trauma of it all, causes him to fall unconscious yet again. As he smacks onto the asphalt, the last thought going through his mind before fainting is, "Oh, son of a-"

As the Wiki-Warrior known as Pirate Joe leans against the wall, his leg splinted and broken, he looks upon the battlefield with hungry eyes, as he searches for the closest Wiki-Warrior, to exact pain and vengeance upon. [Target=Elephant Parade] [Detection: 9 v 10+2] He looks up to see what appears to be some sort of...mountain climber? Nevermind, it seems nothing was there, and whatever was is gone. He then looks again, trying to find anyone else. [2] The smoke rising from the flame casts a cloud of vision impairing, toxic gas over the sky. While avoiding breathing in, Joe can't see anyone. To escape the smoke cloud casting darkness over the area, he hobbles and limps into the building to escape the pain.
(Smoke Cloud: Anyone near the Tsuyama Museum will be injured by the smoke.)

[2] Darkness covers the vision of NRDL, hiding the world around him in pain as he stares into an unmoving, unthinking abyss that sucks the life out of the world. As his vision remains black, a void of null absence, he gazes out into the abyss to see nothing but the same void...

[7] Blurry. That's the word Dolosus Doleus was looking for when describing his vision upon waking up. Looking around, he sees a blurry man in a suit looking through a hole in the blurry wood, before turning to Dolosus and shaking him. His vision clears, color and shade filling his senses as Paulie begins talking. "Boss! You up? Oh, holy hell in a handbasket, boss, you won't believe it. Person was lookin' for us, then a car smacked him dead!", he says, clearly excited at the end of conflict. As the smoke becomes a hazard, Paulie tries to grab Dolosus and drag him inside. [9] Dolosus feels his body weight shift and turn as Paulie grabs him and drags him inside of the Museum, before leaning him against a wall. Dolosus fully wakes up, looking around to see the architecture of the Museum. Paulie hands Dolosus his Tommy Gun, before aiming out of the door to check for targets. Dolosus looks around, [2] but sees nothing of note, as he looks through the window [9], and seeing a white Ford Expedition with 5 dogs and an unconscious NRDL with glass embedded in him. Dolosus crouches back behind the wall, waiting for a moment to strike.

((Auto'd 2)) Elephant Parade attempts to continue hiding [4], but it seems Paulie has seen her. He turns to Dolosus, showing her to him, before Elephant manages to crouch back down.

Demons. Spawns of Hell itself that walk among the world, some good, punished souls, but others matching the world's perception: warped tricksters and monsters who serve a fallen angel. The one in front of Beirus is the latter: the demon known as Legion stands in front of him with his...their gaze dropped to the ground below them. Beirus looks down as well, before turning back to the Demon and saying, "Does this count as a desert? Because I'm pretty sure you've approached someone in a desert before. You even got mentioned in a really popular book because of it.". Legion doesn't look up, of course, but still speaks in the raspy, deep voice. "Satan was the one who tempted Christ in the desert. We were the demons, and now the souls of Earth, who Christ exorcised. Yet, that does not mean you are wrong. You imply that we were the Demons, and the Prince of Wrath and Lord of Darkness. Are you correct in us being a Prince of Hell? We are not obligated to say. What we will say, however, is that humans remembering the world of that time is good. Fear of the unknown. Old legends have made those around you careful. You feed off of legends and myths, and grow because of it.". At the implication, Beirus asks, "So, what do you want?", trying to distract Legion. Legion continues looking down, his face still unseen in the shadow of his cowl. He then says, "We have no plan. We are Legion, for we are many. We walk the Earth, to see the world around us grow darker, and yet brighter then ever. We will say that we are affiliated with the plans of Jericho and the Operator, but that is intrinsic. We need to, since we brought Jericho from the brink into the dark. Jericho's plan involves Hell, and involves us. As soon as his immortality fails him, and the world returns to light, is the time where we will walk the Earth with an actual plan, a gambit to provide to the world.". Beirus steps back, before then thinking of his next move. He then puts it to action...

I said as I searched around for where ever the hell anyone was, I honestly don't know why I said it creepily like that but, regardless I searched everywhere there wasn't to much smoke as "I need someone so I can test out if I can actually replicate Ice Sign, Icicle Fall." which I said out loud. If it wasn't obvious allready what I would do once I found someone it was literally said just then.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Five: Gone
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Early Morning, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

[4] Along with the normal abyss, a black mist covering the sight of Digital Demon, he also feels the vague sting of asphalt under his body, along with something draining out of him. For a split second, he opens his eyes to the parking lot, seeing nothing but car after car in sight, but he quickly lapses back into unconsciousness as the Darkness swallows him again. While in the Darkness, he doesn't see a thing, as not even the Operator appears in the dreams of the void...

[8] NRDL suddenly jolts awake, his eyes wide open in surprise and shock, before they quickly shut again in agony. As he gasps and groans in pain, the Colmillo by his side trying to comfort their master with tongues suspiciously clean of Las Plagas infection. At the sight of his broken car, and some sort of...man purse...close enough? by his side, he lays eyes on all the blood and shattered glass, as he feels his chest already having finished it's life goal of becoming a pincushion. With that, he merely leans a head back in pain, gritting his teeth as he tries to keep from losing it due to the agony of shards of glass in his body. He tries to move his left arm, only to find it dangling with the left elbow appearing to be popped out of it's socket. As the Colmillo move about the car, their movements lacking a pattern as they around the area, the only thing on NRDL's mind is seemingly screaming pain, as he closes his eyes and tries his best to work up the energy to escape.

As the feeling of scraping asphalt keeps BiggerFish's mind at bay, for lack of a better term, she sits on Abigail's offer of objective, but then merely says, "Hm. Do you think a raid on whatever Aperture facilities have somehow sprung up would be helpful, or not helpful.  I mean if nothing else getting the notes for the portal gun...". Fish can swear she can hear Abigail pinching the bridge of her nose before she then says, "U-um, well. With how these articles seem to work, I-I don't know i-if there is an Aperture Laboratory actually manifes-festing in the world. I can f-find out, but it'll take some time.". Fish responds with the affirmative, before looking up to the Party Escort Bot, asking, "Party Escort Bot?  How long until I will arrive at the Aperture Science Confectionery Testing Reward?". The Party Escort Bot stops for a brief second, a couple of clicks and beeps cutting through the sudden stop of sound as if parsing the question. When it finally boots back up with the response, it says, "According to Aperture Science guidelines, the Aperture Science Confectionery Testing Reward will be granted to all party goers upon their arrival to a designated party environment. Such locations may include: break rooms, cake rooms, date rooms, break rooms with cake and dating in them, Hello, again, anywhere involving cakes dating-", however, BiggerFish could not hear anymore, as a familiar voice playing over the speaker caused her to block the world out...

As smoke covers the landscape, covering the land in deadly, vision obscuring fumes, the world around our Wiki-Warriors seems to grow more and more toxic as the minutes pass and more and more smoke blankets the land. In the building is Dolosus Doleus, freshly awoken and back on his own feet, along with Paulie, his Mafioso and enforcer. With Tommy Guns at the ready, and a clear target in the pincushion of a man named NRDL in a white, destroyed Ford Expedition, they both aim right at NRDL in his car, aiming to catch him unawares. [4+2 (Surprise Attack) vs 8-2 (Caught Off-Guard)-2(Injuries)] [8+2 v 4-2-2] Suddenly, around 5 bullets smash into NRDL's windshield, hitting his good arm and slamming that into the seat. NRDL opens the door with his good, right arm and hobbles out of the car only for 10 more bullets to slam into him. Most of them either hit his chest or miss, but two lucky ones smash through his skull, blood and pink brain matter splattering across the ground. Instead of gracefully falling over like in the movies, NRDL instead flops onto the floor, instantly dead without any remorse from the mobsters.
Dolosus Doleus has proven himself in battle! Dolosus gets:
http://deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Spear_(Dead_Rising_3): +Spear, +Combo Card: Pole Weapon

At the sight of their master's death, all 5 Colmillo suddenly howl in rage, the Las Plagas causing large and frightening tentacles to burst out of their backs with thunderous amounts of blood spilled onto the ground. They all pile out of the car, and race towards Dolosus, who steps out of the building for a second to try intimidating them. [9+2 v 9+2 (Las Plagas Infection)] Dolosus growls at the Colmillo, obviously trying to scare them off, though it doesn't even faze them. The Las Plagas must keep them fearless, and their anger is quite mighty indeed. Still, the Colmillo do stop in place, growling at Dolosus as a sign to run.

At the sound of gunshots ringing out through the arena, a voice through the smoke carries a creepy tone to it as it says, "Huh...Hello? Come out come out wherever you are~.". The person speaking is PirateJoe, futilely holding his shirt over his mouth in an attempt to scare people into exiting. When that doesn't work, Joe then decides to peer through the smoke, it's smokescreen not too thick as to impede much on his search. [6] The gunshots give him a good idea as to where some people are, as he sees the faint image of a mobster staring into the jaws of 5 dogs, who are now essentially zombies. Joy. Deciding that a faint image won't help Ice Sign, Icicle Fall, he merely retreats back into the building to stay alive from the smoke.

((Auto'd 3)) Elephant Parade tries to find a way to keep breathing through the smoke. [7] She manages to hold her jacket over her mouth, the padding keeping air in as the smoke continues to cover the land.

As sand crushes other grains of sand and the sun hangs in the sky, two figures stand still as they look at eachother. One a powerful Demon, the other a Catholic Alchemist. Those that should be enemies are instead merely stood at this intersection of fate. If Legion could see under the Alphonse Elric helmet of Beirus, he could see a look of confusion plastered upon his face. "Geez, this just keeps getting more convoluted. I could have sworn the Bible mentioned encountering a man in a desert, speaking in tongues and referring to himself as Legion. That wasn't you? ", he says, his voice a bit confused. Legion looks to the left and right before saying, "That was us. We were the demons that Christ exorcised. We assumed you meant the tempter and the Prince of Wrath, Satan. Our point still stands, however. Whether we are merely a group of demons, or a group of demons united under one name and title, it matters not. We merely roam the Earth.". At that explanation, Beirus gets a little understanding, but then continues, "Oh...well...you...uh.. you wanna just talk for a bit? To someone other than the myriad demons making up your self? Maybe try to have a relatively normal conversation? Might make for a nice break from your wandering.", he says, causing Legion to briefly flash a look upwards. The only part of their face that was visible for that split second were their eyes, which had irises the shade of Blood Crimson, that seemed to pierce Beirus's soul, and maroon pupils that did nothing to dull the fire in their eyes. Legion then quickly looks down, saying, "Of course. What is it that you wish to talk about?", they say, as Beirus thinks about the next topic...

Spoiler: ATHATH (click to show/hide)

Down in the labs of Warner Industrial Program, Jess, Logan and Veronica are walking through the lab. "Can, uh, anyone see Norfolk?", "No. Sorry, babe. If he was here, he would have shown himself.", "Well, he is a creep. Maybe he just likes hiding.". As the conversation moves through to the Wiki-Warrior room, they're about to continue when they see someone new in one of the tanks. "Subject Whiskey-Charlie 012-ATHATH I", it says on the terminal as a readout. "Well, we did say that we'd shove a new guy in there.", Jess simply says. Without any hesitation, Logan waves his hand in front of ATHATH, who awakens and begins screaming in the tank before he's enveloped by a brilliant, purple light.

In the parking lot, a now female and Italian ATHATH is spat out onto the world, a Smith & Wesson revolver nicknamed "The M29 Satan" on her holster. Standing up and peering at the smoke covered arena, it only makes sense for the overcast to turn into a light drizzle, which then turns into full on rain.

Time: Morning, Weather: Raining

Dialogue:

As the Party Escort Bot continues to drone on and on about potential locations for cake, "Cake rooms with breaking rakes while dating snakes-" things like that, BiggerFish looks up to the robot with fear and anger. That voice...she swears she heard the Operator speak through the machine, his voice composed of the thousands of souls speaking out, same as before. She scowls at the situation, before saying, "Well, hello again." with a voice full of venom. The Party Escort Bot looks down to her, and says, "Hello. I am the Aperture Science Party Esco-duweui2b34-", before it glitches out, it's voice going higher pitched as it begins to read off gibberish, with the only things being eligible being vague and cryptic enough that it matched the insanity of the situation. "fei3h340g2003h9gf0204thelight4utg9eleaving39urtjgthemlt0gj4n in4b" it babbled, before it seemed to shut down, slumping as it's jittering movements stopped. A neutral voice then rang out, that spoke with no gender or tone. "A fatal error has occurred with the Aperture Science Party Escort Bot. Issuing backup operation Tango Oscar 223". The machine clicked and buzzed idly, before raising it's body upward, it's pink eye and lights having turned purple with the corruption of the Operator. That voice...those voices rang right through again, saying, "You're still alive? Of course. Humans are quite resilient. Yet, one fall will break their necks. Weak, yet tough. Still smaller then me. If you have anything to say, spit it out.". While the words were, at least apparently, egocentric, the tone he took was fare more dismissive, as though any boasting and claims of superiority didn't matter anymore. At least, that was apparent to Fish...

Dialogue:

At the sound of each voice speaking, the venom leaves Fish's throat, replaced with a hint of slight confusion as the words leave her lips: "You're the one that wanted to talk to me. Or kill me. Or something.", she says with a look that spoke a tale of not knowing where to go from there. The eye of the Bot turned a bit, before the voices began again. "Very good! Humans are quite perceptive. We did come for you." Suddenly, the bot deactivated again, this time turning off completely as it slumped down. In every shadow, out of the corner of her eye, Fish could begin to see eyes following her, though they disappeared quickly. Out of the shadow of a nearby alleyway, the visage of what seemed to be a doctor came out of them. Wearing a lab coat with dark red scrubs and dark pants, with hair spiked slightly, it took Fish a while to recognize just who this man was. The smoking gun...was his purple eyes, with a dark iris and only slightly darker pupils of the color. "You don't look like how I imagined you...or how you looked last time.". The Operator merely looked down at her, their eyes filled with an unreadable expression as they knelt down next to her. "That's what we came for. Last time...you remember the start of all this, despite your death. He was right. They can start to remember. Let us ask you a question: What do you remember of your past life?". As each voice spoke, their pitch and tone deep and slow, Fish took a deep breath before responding...

((Due to Beirus's dialogue being his action, I'll do it in the turn. Also, the next turn will be out soon. I just felt uncomfortable Autoing everyone except Fish, Joe, and Demon. Now that everyone except ATHATH and Parade have posted, I can start typing it up. Not today, however. Lazy day. See you guys soon!))

"And if I tell you, then what?"

There really wasn't venom to begin with.
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm
Post by: Greatness942 on October 10, 2016, 08:52:32 am
Dialogue:

What do you mean there was no venom? I hear-...huh. I guess I made assumptions back then. Well, then. After recognizing that no venom was actually exchanged, BiggerFish stared into the eyes of the Operator, their purple gaze casting a focused, dark shadow onto Fish. She asks, "And if I tell you, then what?", her tone more questioning then her words as she stares up at him. The Operator looks down at her before replying, "Well, other then the fact that we could kill you, right this second, if we really wanted to, and trust us, you're human, and we do...There was an informant, in the Cult of Jericho. And now you have a number, who is at least former Cult of Jericho. Not trying to say you should go after him, we do know how much free will plays into your insipid standards of life, but it's strange, isn't it? Tell me, when you do decide to go after this number, what do you expect? Because something tells me he was more sane when he was talking on the computer.". At that, Fish's eyes widen as the Operator laughs, the millions of voices echoing cries and laughter as the shadows grow and darken, purple eyes now covering the darkness as the day moves on.

((I haven't forgotten about this game, sorry. It's just that, with Dead Rising 2, and the new Shadow Lords game I'm running, I now have 3 responsibilities of GMing to do. I'm confident I can juggle them, so I'm sorry it took so long. Once this conversation ends, I'll get the next turn up.))

Dialogue:

At the sounds of echoing laughter coming from the being in front of her, BiggerFish looks up into his eyes...with a smile on her face. "Well, thank you for that information.", she says, a smirk on her face brimming with the confidence that he said too much. Unfortunately, they appear to have said exactly what they needed to, as while the Operator stops laughing, he still has an eerie, almost uncharacteristic grin on his face, brimming with something hidden. As the shadows stop, the grin leaves him as they speak, "You know, that wasn't for benefit or harm. Knowing who the number is won't help you. We did this to continue our plans, and they only happen to coincide with James's plan. We only let you know because it was necessary. You'll meet the number soon enough.". At that, the Operator begins to vanish in purple smoke, disappearing in only a few seconds. The Party Escort Bot reawakens, and it doesn't seem affected! "Snake rooms with cakes dating breaking rakes. And those are only a few locations where the Aperture Science Confectionery Testing Reward may be given. Do you have any more questions, or shall we continue to a designated Aperture Science Party Location?"

Relate to her the story.  Keep with the bot at least till that's done, because cake is always good.

Match One: Deathmatch
Round Six: Answers
Tsuyama Railroad Education Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

As the smoke covers the air and the rain drops fall onto the ground, obscuring everything in sight in a chaotic work of mother nature, the Wiki-Warrior PirateJoe loses sight of the Mob and the zombified mutts in the smog as this chaos erupts around him. Shrugging his shoulders with no care and little devotion, he walks around, craning his head side to side as he searches for more...prey to test Cirno's magic on. [7-2] He looks up to the rooftop to see the vaguest human shape possible. He doesn't see them well, but he sees them, and they're in the way...[9+2 v 6] Icicle after icicle magically forms above the figure, before coming down in a beautiful cascade of Ice Magic, stabbing and slamming into them with careful precision, yet also a display of brute force. You hear the figure groan and yell in pain, a distinctly female voice being the screamer as she feels the sting of shard after shard of ice stab into her. Joe swears he sees the figure slump over, but in the rain and smoke, it's hard to tell if that really even was a person. Joe then walks off, searching for more victims.

[9] Digital Demon springs up, his eyes wide in surprise for...several reasons. For one, he's not dead, which is a shock in of itself, but also, there's a woman in the get up of a detective standing there, dazed, with a jet parked right next to her. A jet. While sleek and stylish, it's also a jet, causing Demon to cautiously hide behind a car. With squinted eyes and a hand blocking his vision from the rain, he tries to find something that can help him. [1-2] But with a slip of the hand, and of the feet, Demon slips, [1] and knocks himself out again...[6]He regains consciousness not even 5 minutes later, and looks up, [7-2] spotting a car in the rain and what little smoke escaped. Dashing towards it, he sees that it's [3] a Smart Fortwo. A two seater clown car. "Whatever, it's not that bad.", he thinks to himself, before limping into the driver's side. Sitting down on the quite comfortable leather of the front seat, he looks around for any medical supplies. [9] He immediately spots a First Aid Kit under his seat which, combined with the red paint of the Smart car, makes it seem like a civilian's Paramedic vehicle. Popping it open, he sees [1] nothing. It's empty. It's more then empty, it's empty except for all the dust building up in it. Chucking it aside, he looks around for another one [1], but not only is there no Med Kit anywhere, the stress, combined with the bleeding, is beginning to make him dizzy. He needs help, and fast, or he'll die here.

Dolosus thought two things would never happen: He thought he wouldn't be dragged into this insane battle, and he thought he never would stare into the eyes of what was, for all intents and purposes, a zombie dog. Yet, both were not only happening, but they were happening because the other was happening. Joy. Dolosus turns his head to the right, spotting the entrance/exit through the rain and smoke. While giving a nod to Paulie, he then begins to run. [1] Before even running, one of the Colmillo grips onto his leg, drawing blood and causing Dolosus to fall onto the ground. He then turns to the dog, [8+2] He howls and roars at the dogs, scaring all of the dogs away into running out of the area. Standing back up on a now bleeding leg, he turns to Paulie and nods to him, to which Paulie points his Tommy Gun at the entrance.

As rain begins to fall, perhaps due to the appearance of the Operator, or simply the flames of the meteors burning the water in the sky, BiggerFish turns back to the Party Escort Bot, prepared for the Operator to show up yet again, says "I think I have a prior engagement. Unless we are within a couple feet of an Aperture Science Party Location.", with the Party Escort Bot responding with a cheerful voice, "We are not. But only because you haven't designated said Party Location.". Fish nods, before checking back in with Abigail. "Abigail, the Operator just showed up and was confusing. I need some advice here.", she says, before telling her what happened. "W-well, it seems like he m-means that whether or not we're going to meet with our n-number, he's important. I th-think he meant that he's part of the plan, so to speak.". BiggerFish responds with the affirmative, having stopped moving due to the Bot needing a Party Location.

((Auto'd 4+Combat=Instant Kill)) Icicles fall into Elephant Parade, the ice piercing her chest and skull with great force, killing her instantly.

In the presence of a Demon, no one would be able to think quickly, yet Beirus has a topic in mind. He says, "Have you ever become invested in anything during your trek, Legion? Or do you just wander without forming attachments?", genuinely curious about the topic. Legion doesn't look up, before saying, "On our trek? No. No human or beast of the Earth has captured our attention without being our enemy. Back in Hell, and throughout the parts of the Universe unseen? Yes. Lucifer, Mammon, Asmodeus, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Belphegor, and those of other parts of the other worlds. Beirus recognizes the names, with Lucifer and Beelzebub being, obviously, the names of the Princes of Pride and Gluttony, and Lucifer also being often considered as another name for Satan. The rest are familiar, though Beirus doesn't think of them right now as Legion is clearly waiting. Preparing to speak again, he thinks of more to say as the clear sky behind him bathes the world in the light of the Sun.

Round Seven: Calm
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

As the cracked asphalt provides the same feeling of discomfort as meeting the Operator just minutes before, BiggerFish looks around the area slowly becoming engulfed in rain, with high hopes she'll leave the area soon. She looks up to the Party Escort Bot with her eyebrow raised inquisitively before asking two things to the android. "Where is the nearest potential Aperture Science Party Location? Where is the nearest Aperture Science Party Location owned by Aperture?", she asks, leading the droid to parse the queries presented to it. "To both queries: The Aperture Science Party Administrator, currently saved as "The Bigger Fish II" by (Insert Name Here), must set the official Aperture Science Party Location. so that the Aperture Science Party Escort Bot can properly set arrangements.". At that moment, Fish gets a call on her Bluetooth, to which she responds. Abigail is the one speaking, and judging by the way her voice is squeaking, she's more nervous then usual. "U-um, Fish? L-listen, I-I wanted to ask that, u-um...listen, u-um, if you s-survive this, and p-please do b-by the way, do y-you...want to go out for a m-movie? I-I can pick up s-something from a shop n-nearby, no o-one's running it, so...". As her voice stops, the request causes thoughts to turn in BiggerFish's head, trying to find a response. Before she can go thinking, though, the Party Escort Bot starts to drag her, again, [3] though no closer to the train.

As frustration builds in PirateJoe's head, his thoughts growing more and more hostile as the smoke and rain clouds the air around him, he searches for the exit while already outside, so that he may find a landmark to go back to should the need arise. [8-2] He sees the door leading out right behind him, the rain and smoke making it a bit harder to see, though it's proximity makes it obvious. As he's about to turn back, he gets the greatest idea he's ever had: he's going to freeze all of his bullets! ...Maybe greatest wasn't the best term for it. [2+2] He successfully freezes the ammo in his Reserve Mags, but when he freezes the magazine in the gun already, he finds the ice has broken each bullet into shards. He would need to reload if he wanted to use his idea.

As blood meets pavement, staining the ground with the crimson essence, Dolosus is about to walk off, when he almost trips due to the pain. Immediately, Paulie rushes by his boss's side, propping him up and helping him limp out. While walking through the dense smoke and rain, Dolosus searches for any Wiki-Warriors he can lay his eyes on. [5-2] Despite his best efforts, the environment simply can't allow it as no one enters sight of the injured Mob Boss, as Mother Nature ravages around him.

((Player Quit)) Demon, having had enough of all of this, sits down on the pavement, and submits, succumbing to his injuries. His final thoughts speak volumes as to his feelings, "I would curse my rotten luck, and I have...but in the peace of this eternal sleep? I'm just glad it's over..."
Digital Demon has peacefully passed away in the Parking Lot.

((Idle)) ATHATH looks over and spots the corpse of Demon in the rain, but chooses not to investigate as she continues leaning.

As the thoughts of Legion's past creep into Beirus's mind, leaving more questions then answers, Beirus decides he needs them answered. Gesturing with his hand still in the Alphonse Elric gauntlet, he asks, "You never get bored in your wandering? Or is this one of those things where your purpose and greater plans for the future keep you occupied?". Legion doesn't even flinch for a second, quickly answering, "Boredom is a luxury. It it something that shows complacence; you have grown too comfortable to explore. Our occupations is in what we have in store for humanity. For Jericho, The Operator, and even Exodus itself. You have heard the prophecy fortold by Astrid, yes? We imagine you wish to know who Exodus is. We can not say, though what we can is that with their rebirth, every alternate Universe and Timeline that exists will be under their boot.", causing more questions to hits Beirus's brain as the sun hangs in the sky behind him.

BSN: Hoo boy.

1.: To Demon: I guess that's that. If you ever want to come back at some point, you can. But don't think me saying that is stopping you. If you want to stop for good, that's also fine. All that matters to me is that you're going to have fun.

Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

With what sounds like nervous mumbling over the Bluetooth speaker, and the feeling of raindrops hitting her face, BiggerFish takes a few seconds to formulate her response to Abigail asking her out. Finally, she simply responds, "Yes, Abigail. It's a date.", calmly, yet warmly. Abigail pauses for a moment, before sighing in relief. "Really? O-Oh, thank you! I-It's a date, then.", she says, and from her tone of voice, Fish can only guess she has the biggest smile in history. Looking back up to the Party Escort Bot, she asks, "Where is the nearest Aperture Science facility?". [9] "The closest Aperture Science branch is located in Okayama, Japan.", says the Party Escort Bot, before continuing to drag Fish towards the station to Okayama, the scratching of the asphalt and the pitter patter of rain starting to bother her due to the sheer amount of time spent there.

With a grumble, a sigh, and the sound and sight of an ejected Magazine, complete with the sound of ice smashing further and further on the ground, PirateJoe has made his displeasure at the situation clear as rain, same with the weather around him. Trying his best to be careful with the ice bullets, he tries to reload his new gun. [10] He not only reloads the gun, but he also finds one Ice Bullet having survived both shatterings, and thus pops into the chamber, increasing his ammo capacity by one. He then begins hunting down other Wiki-Warriors, ready to fire on them. [9-2] He sees two humans in the darkness, their outfits resembling Mobsters with one seemingly being dragged out by another. After not only reloading an empty gun, but popping an extra round in the chamber, he does have enough time to fire on them, and so he hoists his gun up. [10-2 (Visibility) v. 3-2 (Caught by Surprise)] [5-2 v. 3] Aiming first for the Mobster aiding his injured friend, he aims center mass and fires off his extra round, the frosted metal whizzing through the air and smacking into said figure's chest, appearing to either pierce a lung or an important artery as the figure instantly collapses to it's knees, yelling in pain, before hitting the ground and beginning to twitch. Even through everything being obscured, Joe swears he sees blood beginning to pool. He then aims at the injured one, who then ducks before beginning to limp for cover. Grumbling, Joe begins walking towards them...

With the sound of gunshots smashing through flesh echoing through the air, and rain falling onto the ground and metal in the parking lot, ATHATH finally reveals what her leaning really meant as she chucks an unseen cigar through the air, discarding it onto the asphalt before snuffing it with her foot. Looking around, she identifies car after car, from the current land of Japan to all the way in Canada. Shouldn't knock Canadian cars. Veronica loves 'em. Patriotism and all. With a glare and what seems like standard noir music, her left eye has it's pupil and iris turn from black and what seems like hazel to black and a variant of standard grey, thus activating her Private Eye. Using it, she scans around for both hidden trinkets and whatever weapons she can find. [9] [8] She finds a couple of things that aren't really weapons, or at least don't seem to be. In one car, she finds a book, it's pages glowing a rich blue color save for the first page. It seems the brilliant glow isn't a side effect of her Private Eye ability, but rather part of the book itself. In another car, she finds a grocery bag filled with food and drink, along with a gas can on the floorboards. Looking to her right, she spots her weapon: a Wakizashi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakizashi) in the trunk of a car. With all of those in mind, ATHATH dusts her jacket off before shutting her Private Eye off. She then jumps up and enters the jet, looking for any parachutes. [1] She not only finds no parachutes, but it seems she has no fuel as well. Sighing, ATHATH resigns herself to having a long day.

Seconds earlier...
As the Mafioso and his boss walk through Mother Nature's wrath, or more accurately one being dragged through her cold glare, Dolosus begins to muse to himself. "I swear to God Paulie, what did I ever do to deserve this shit?", he says, leading Paulie to pause for a second before saying, "Well, boss. With all due respect, we both live outside the law. Think it's trouble now, wait until-". Suddenly, a loud bang hits their eardrums as Paulie screams in pain. The only thing that silences his screams being him choking up blood as he collapses onto the ground. "P-PAULIE?!", he yells out, before another shot sends him right into cover. Getting out and getting medical aid will have to wait. He looks over to Paulie. He seems to be alive, but with the blood pool forming under him and the only movement being twitching, the only being gasping as well, he needs help now.

As it turns out, no questions have actually entered the brain of Beirus, the Disgraced Alchemist satisfied with the information he has now, merely saying, "Interesting. I suppose that means I should get back to hunting soon, before I grow too complacent. Is there any topic you want to discuss?" as a response. Legion finally looks up to Beirus, possibly as a sign of them taking their leave, to which Beirus sees his or their face. Red scales and more black blood and scarred maroon flesh cover them, while also including sharp teeth. Like before, it shows crimson eyes and maroon pupils, with the whites of the eyes replaced with black. A crown of horns adorn their scalp. "Huh. With all the mystery, I thought you had something to hide.", says Beirus, only for Legion to grin. "It is merely our face. Yet, we do have something to hide.", they say. Before Beirus can ask what they mean, they suddenly light on fire, quickly disappearing into the flame. [10] Beirus, on pure intuition, guess that this was some sort of magic transportation, quickly being confirmed by the voices continuing to echo through the area. At that, he then investigates his new gun, before setting it down and preparing to use his powers. [10+3+2] He creates a brand new shotgun. Fully automatic with four barrels, each barrel having a magazine each. Each magazine holds 100 armor piercing, incendiary rounds. Perfect for one of the most powerful Alchemists around...

BSN: beirus OP pls nerf

So, I think I may add the reload timers from TCM's Wikipedia Wars:

Short Reload: Handguns. Can do every action after reload.

Moderate Reload: Shotguns, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Revolvers. Can only do actions revolving around shooting and/or moving.

Long Reload: Machine Guns, RPGs. Can only either shoot or move after reload, not both.

What do you think?

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Nine: Power
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

As more and more rain falls around her and the smoke from the Museum fades off into the night sky like the nightmares of whoever remains on Earth, a smile hits BiggerFish's face as she thinks forward to her/his date with Abigail. That is in the future, however, as the present day has her being dragged through the cold, wet spawn of the cumulo-nimbus above her by a droid created by Aperture Science. She looks up to the Party Escort Bot and says, to both it and the English girl on the other end of her earpiece, "I have a proposition. How about we acquire faster transportation?". The Party Escort Bot continues it's path, but Abigail then asks, "W-What do you mean? Are you asking a f-favour of me? Because I-I could, but-", which leads Fish to hear her nervously, yet adorably, ramble over the headset for a minute as she considers different options. With a smile, Fish listens to it all...

Behind the cover of what appears to be a toppled marble pillar, and his Mafioso partner Paulie gurgling up blood from an internal injury, rage fills Dolosus Doleus heart and mind as he suddenly leaps up and yells, "That was a mistake, jackass!", screaming out in an attempt to scare Joe away and flee from the scene. [5+2 v. 4] The yelling makes PirateJoe freeze slightly, as he wasn't expecting his victim to yell at him. While startled by the loud, angry fire in Dolosus's belly, said Mob Boss then hoists up the Thompson Sub-Machine Gun and aims it at Joe, clicking the safety off and pulling the trigger. [8+2 (Intimidating) v. 5] Before Joe can even blink, a bullet suddenly smacks through the left side of his chest, the bullet snapping a few ribs on it's way out. Stumbling back with full consciousness, he tries to aim his gun, only for two more bullets to hit his left hand, causing him to drop the gun onto the wet ground. Joe then scrambles for cover, the pain subsiding through adrenaline as he hides behind [3] the same wooden pallet Dolosus was at earlier. Joe dives through it...

But then remembers his dropped gun, laying in the cold rain and with only one bullet shot at the non-Wiki-Warrior to it's name, which causes PirateJoe to try to run and grab it. [6] Despite the pain in his chest, he manages to bolt out of cover fast enough to grab it [8] and the lead and blood emerging from his left hand don't stop it. With the barrel trained at the Marble, and the wielder back behind the pallet, Joe then boasts, "Let the cold consume you! Freeze Sign, Cold Divinity!" before hoisting his injured hand out towards the pillar. [9+2 v. 9] Suddenly, a large icicle stabs into Dolosus's injured shoulder, popping even more blood vessels as the wound becomes too dangerous to ignore. Another slashes his cheek as he tries to take cover from the icy daggers, as the rest suppress his attempts to escape as his hiding spot. Joe laughs, a memory flash hitting as he sees large, hallucinatory tornadoes cover the landscape, his laughing growing more insane...and yet more fitting.

With the click of the safety allowing rounds to fly through the barrel of the M29 Satan, and a medical tray in the detective's other hand, ATHATH looks out to the Museum, taking the time to gaze at it's current state. Marble and stone pieces litter the area, as smoke escapes the area caused by many fires lit around the area. What appears to be pieces of meteorite are also crumbled apart and littering the area, along with rain pounding against the area. Nodding her head, she begins sneaking towards it, looking for trouble...or at least other Wiki-Warriors. She crawls up to the entrance and peers inside. [7-2] She sees a vague human-like figure laying on the ground [Medical Check: 9] gasping and choking with a blood puddle under him, only a minute or two away from his end. (1 turn until death), along with another holding an unknown object up. Taking cover, ATHATH takes a deep breath and waits.

Staring at his gun with awe as the Alchemical spark and the blue-green energies of the Aether subside from it, all four barrels gleaming in the sunlight as fresh as a new gun should look, Beirus smiles under his helmet with a pleased glare in his eyes. He then gets an idea, something to guarantee his victory, at least as long as he's careful. Pressing his hands to the Alphonse Elric armor, he tries to upgrade it with his Alchemic Power, the Aether Manipulation, and the Protostone. [8+3+2] With the feeling of the materials hardening, he gets the intuition to know what upgrades he's given himself: With the same lightweight feel, he's given it an Aether-based fusion of materials as hard as kevlar and titanium. While not proofed against stabbing weapons and magic, it is bullet and blunt-proof up to a good enough extent: though a aircraft carrier and a 50. Turret won't be stopped, a Spiked Baseball Bat and an AK-47 will. Okay, not all of that was intuition, but it still works out. Looking up, he tries to look around to find any more interruptions [3], but the glare of the sunlight keeps him from either noticing or not. Luckily, if there was something, it would've been there by now, or at least that's what Beirus rationalized as he paces the desert, thinking of his next move.

BSN: It's only been 4 days? Should've been more.

Well, here's the turn! I meant to have it out by, at most, this morning. But I brought my Youtube channel out of hiatus, so I've been doing that for the last few days. Also, I'm going to introduce the Reload Timers. If you guys don't like it, then I can take them out. And on that note, Revolvers, at least Hangun sized ones, are now Short Reloads.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Chapter Ten: Blood
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

As a dangerous amount of crimson blood splashes against the stone, falling from the black suited shoulder stabbed with the construct of Ice Magic, the sound of footsteps smacking stone approaches Dolosus with an audible intent to kill, sounding as if each step were a syllable for a declaration of a war that Dolosus were losing. With a wave of his hand and murderous intent in his eyes, PirateJoe attempts to let the cold consume Dolosus; attempts to let the chill of death take him. [2+2 v. 2] Suddenly, the icicle breaks off into a near liquid, magical substance. It completely covers Dolosus's left arm, before turning his arm to solid ice. Joe gets an odd idea, and pushes his hand down. [10+2 v. 2] The Ice suddenly springs around Dolosus's entire body, his scream silenced by his vocal cords freezing before Joe slams his hand down. The still-moving would be statue gets pulled by the magic, slamming it's head into the cover of the pillar. As the body freezes over, it remains stuck into the position of someone about to have their head slammed in, as the statue smacks it's head against the pillar, completely destroying the head and causing the statue to smack against the stone.
Pirate Joe has made Dolosus part of a new Ice Age! Joe gets:
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Avenger_Gatling_Cannon: +Avenger Gatling Cannon (Six Barrelled, Fully Automatic Chaingun, 5,000/5,000, 2 Magazines of Reserve Ammo, Long Reload)

In his hands, coming forth from a purple light, emerges a large Gatling Gun adorned with colors befitting of the Imperium from Warhammer 40,000, with a large magazine on the bottom. Joe looks around before yelling, "YES! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! MILK! FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES!". Safe to say he'd lost it at that point.

Hearing the rambling on the other end of the Bluetooth, though cute, caused BiggerFish to sigh before she spoke out. "Ah, no, I'm just suggesting to the Party Escort Bot that it stops dragging me and we walk or take a train or something.  Sorry, didn't mean to bother you.". At that, a relieved sigh played over the monitor, though not from Abigail. The Russian accented voice of Alexis hits the speaker, before Carter says in his Irish voice, "Thank you! She looked like she was 5 seconds away from a heart attack, Fish.". Fish chuckles a bit before turning her attention to the Party Escort Bot [10], who suddenly chucks her inside of a train. Though cold and unfeeling, Fish still stands up unscathed as it moves on it's own to Okayama. She turns to try and find the driver [9] and sees them. Them meaning multiple. Sat at the driver's seat is someone Fish can't see well at all, and on the seat to him is someone...else. Wearing large black armor, this figure had to two large horns through the helmet, and two glowing red eyes which left intimidating trails through the air. What set Fish's mood off was his weapon: a large sword ordained with red runes and phrases in Turkish on the blade and hilt sat in a scabbard on the figure's belt. Finally, on the seat opposite the armored figure was another labcoated figure, who Fish automatically identifies as the Operator, who appears to be playing about with a bit of Dark Magic, a purple fireball dancing in their hands. They appear to be muttering something...

Hiding out of view of anyone else, with the M29 "Satan" Smith and Wesson pistol in one hand, ATHATH breathes deeply before turning her head...to see Joe assist in Dolosus's unintended suicide before a huge gun came out of nowhere, causing PirateJoe to yell like he was Heracles or Ares about blood and Khorne Flakes. ...Yep. ATH sighs before returning to cover, the silence of Joe quieting down ending with the death rattle of the incapacitated man.

Clearly without satisfaction for his gifts and powers, the Disgraced Alchemist Beirus decides to upgrade his armor even further, specifically the Alchemic Forcefield surrounding him. Placing his hands on his armor [10+3+2], he Alchemically improves upon it. Featuring a 200 capacity Forcefield, it now recharges outside of combat. He feels a surge of power, a feeling that nothing can stop him now...[8] which he proves by hopping over a Rift suddenly appearing under his feet. Peering in, Beirus [2] doesn't see anything from either the other side nor what opened it, but with the distinct hum of magic hitting his brain, he has a sneaking suspicion...which turns out to be half true as a voice he wasn't expecting to hear speaks. "Hello, Beirus. I present a choice. You may go through with your assault, or come through the Rift. Do you want to actually fight, or do you want to converse? The choice is yours, though Jess may wish to say the former is the best option.", speaks the emotionless voice of Theren Norfolk, leading Beirus to just...stare at the Rift, not expecting that. When he formulates his response...

BSN: I hope it doesn't feel like I'm railroading you guys. If I am, I'll stop.

So, yeah. Dolosus, if you wanna waitlist, go ahead and tell me. Because I hate it when people just stop responding in the thread.  :-\

I guess they would, but this wound is Light/Moderate. Gameplay wise, it means it's not dangerous, at least at the moment, though further injuries aggravate it. Also, it means that it would be light, if it weren't for the fact that it's a gaping laser wound in your stomach.

Crazy. Insane. Khorne Flakes. If one (or a couple) words could be used to describe the thought process of PirateJoe as he clutched the Avenger Gatling Cannon in his hands, it would be those. As he maniacally laughed and laughed, lugging the six barreled masterpiece of Imperial workmanship in his hands while ignoring both his injuries and the weight of the giant gun as he ran around screaming more and more about the reckoning of his two other opponents. [Stealth Check: 8] Well, it would be three others, but ATHATH is holding still, not wanting to incur the wrath of the violent psycho insinuating bloodshed to whoever he meets no matter what. Finally, after what seems like forever, PirateJoe calms down and looks at the decapitated statue of Dolosus Doleus, his weapons next to what amounts to his corpse. As he begins whispering "Death to the false Emperor. They shall feel thy dakka!", while walking around with a murderous grin on his face, he tries to look around for anyone else. [Stealth Check: 5, 2+1 v 9+2] Suddenly, ATHATH's grip slips while hiding, and she nearly falls. As she does, Joe swears he sees another shape in the chaos. However, with great ease, ATHATH suddenly rolls back around the side, concealing herself perfectly. Joe shrugs and keeps looking around, waiting for someone to kill...

((Auto'd)) ATHATH keeps hiding, PirateJoe not looking in her direction, thus meaning she's safe...for now.

As soon as she sees the people...beings in front of her, each one seemingly not noticing her, BiggerFish sucks in a nervous breath only to gasp in pain and agony. [5] It seems that the Operator noticed, as thoughts pass through her head while they turn their head and look her in the eye. What happens instead of more violence or talking...is the Operator turning his attention back towards the Armored Man, with the purple fireball turning to a more violet persuasion. Fish looks down to find that gaping laser wound in her stomach still exists. She looks around for something to, at the very least, stop the pain and bleeding. [1] Despite everything, however, she finds nothing in her car. In fact, she finds the opposite of help, as under a seat appears to be some kind of black tentacle. It's skin is as black as an Onyx, and it shines in the light. It doesn't attack Fish, or even acknowledge her, but it's very presence shows that, at least in the car where Fish is, there's nothing that can help seal the wound. Gasping again, this time quietly, she turns her attention to the creature's and tries to listen in. [6] She only hears the side of the louder of the two, which appears to be the Armored Man as instead of a voice of the Legion, he instead has a deep, dark voice that would send shivers down sane men's spines, with a faint Turkish accent being vaguely heard by her, as well. "So, there's a Wiki-Warrior on board, and you don't care? ...Hmm? Letting them drop their guard by pretending to be a stereotype of what they call "Villains", by showing up and just monologuing instead of showing power? Interesting. ...I know. I'm repeating it so that she knows exactly why you haven't shown your power. What's her name? ...Fish, hmm? Interesting. Should we...hmm...should we let her get a running start, first? Would be unfair to Jame-...Control? Me?". At that, the Armored Man rises to his feet and places his right hand on his very large sword, waiting for the okay. Fish merely looks around, thinking of her next move.

As he looks down to the Rift, appearing differently as the red and black swirling energies of the Universe reminding him of Hawk, Beirus shouts back, "Why not. But I expect some whiskey on the other side of this Rift.", before he immediately jumps down without more thought or care. He instantly feels the difference in the Rift's composition, manifesting into feeling more of a stabbing sensation and less of his mind warping under the pressure, jagged pain hitting his body at every angle. When he finally leaves the Rift, he falls down right onto a convenient chair at the edge of a table, it's brown and stained look complementing the selection of food and drink on the table, including multiple types of whiskey, such as Fenrir and Maltolas. As a centerpiece, a severed eye is in a preservative, in a jar in the middle, a helpful label describing it's dark purple sclearae and green iris as "Webagon Eye". Sitting at the other end is Theren Norfolk who, despite having a plate with chicken, char grilled steak, and Maltolas Whiskey in what appears to be more of a goblet then a glass, is patiently staring at Beirus, saying, "I won't say I have information unless you ask. Not every discussion has to be about secret plans or the like. We're not Saturday morning cartoon heroes or villains, Beirus. Don't you find it better to speak to a person instead of someone or multiple ones trying to seem more stereotyped then they really are?", while still under his deadpan and emotionless tone of speaking.

BSN: Actual Depth? In my game? What has this world come to?!

Yeah, think I'll speak honestly. I do want to stop railroading you guys into plot and more plot. So, I want to encourage more freedom, such as in TCM's game. You can be as focused as you want into being a slaughtering animal, or you can, say, steal a car and drive to Florida. As you saw earlier, the only time plot will affect the game is if I feel like advancing the story through appearances of certain characters. Not to say there will be less plot, but this is a game and not some plot coaster with elements of a deathmatch in it.

Misc. Notes: Adding a space to Assets and Abilities in Character Sheets so that Beirus's page stops giving me OCD attacks. Not that I'm complaining about upgrades. I'm complaining about formatting.

Late Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

As the glare in his eye deepens and his murmurs become more and more unhinged, PirateJoe keeps an eye on the surroundings as he aims his gun everywhere he can. With each footstep telling a different story, Joe keeps pacing back and forth before he suddenly stops. His gaze looks to his gun before he thinks about the events leading up to this. "Wow...this gun made me-...I went nuts, didn't I? Holy crap. I-I guess I should be merciful. Whoever I kill, I shall do so quickly and stop whatever suffering they have.", he thinks to himself, the voice of his thoughts his own as he speaks to himself. With a more morally grey resolve, he listens out to anyone in earshot. [Stealth: 6] He hears something. It sounds like a footstep, but he is unsure. Still, with the amount of things he's seen from that vague area, he has a very large hunch on the fact that someone's over there. So much of a hunch, in fact, that he levels his gun at the wall he heard the noise at. [10 v 5] As ATHATH tries to stay hidden, she hears what sounds like a rotary motor mere seconds before ten loud bangs smash through her ears as ten bullets smash through the wall, five hit her back and send her crumbling to her knees, with the other five missing because of her movement. She gasps and yells in pain, letting Joe know that his intuition was, in fact, correct.

((Auto'd 2)) ATHATH gasps and wheezes in pain, before trying to escape. [2-2] She immediately drops unconscious from the shock of the wounds.

Train 45-A, Okayama Prefecture, Japan
Late Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

As the imposing man rises from his seat, hilt in hand with the sword in his sheath, he turns his head towards BiggerFish, the red trails of his eyes leaving the effect that he is inhuman...which he very well may be. BiggerFish remains frozen in fear, her legs shaking and her eyes narrowing before she cranes her head. The Operator is saying something [9], which she clearly hears as "Take it out on her, take it out on James, or just smash the train.". The Man looks to BiggerFish, who responds with a nervous, "Hi?". [2] It appears that something as casual as a nervous hello was a breaking point, as he releases his large sword, once again showing the blood red runes on the blade, before uses his hand to smash the train car open before charging for BiggerFish. [2+2 v 8] The sword flies through the air before missing the then-ducking BiggerFish, as the blade smashes through the carriage, breaking several windows as the Man growls in anger. Fish takes the time to attempt to flee [1], but the pain causes her to trip and fall over. The Man then calmly walks over and attempts to grab the Wiki-Warrior. [1 v 2] Fish weakly, though effectively, swats the Man's hand out of the way. The Man-Actually, just use his name.-Jericho looks at her before sheathing his blade and walking off, causing Fish to stare at him walking away...

((Auto'd)) "I...suppose so?", are the first words to emerge from the lips of Beirus, who is currently drinking his Fenrir Whiskey and looking at the Webagon Eye. "Hey, uh, what is a "Webagon", anyway?". Theren slowly turns his head to look at the jar before saying, still emotionless, "A creature from the Parallel Universe known as Beastia. They are carnivorous, cannibalistic, and ravenous. They are also psychic. There is a sub-species with human intelligence known as an Insad, but as the name implies, it doesn't help their strategy in any way.". Beirus merely keeps drinking, thinking of what to say.

BSN: This was an eventful week. Let's just put it that way so that there's no large scale debates or arguments about the nature of my upload schedule. Thank you.

Since I spoke so honestly last time: It actually does worry me a little about the low player count and how much faster players are dying. It makes me think I'm calling it wrong, that I'm doing it wrong. What do you guys think? Is this just a lull and I'm being ridiculous again, or has my GM work gotten a bit tighter, yet more strict in doing so?

I walked over to where I heard the scream, when I found their body I checked if they where alive, finding that they where, I simply made a spycicle in my hand and stabbed them in the head to end them before they got back up....all this for a wish.

Round Thirteen: Information
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Late Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

With a heavy heart and heavy footsteps, the groans of pain bearing a toll on those who are no longer around, PirateJoe turns the corner and looks around for the person he hit. As he looks, he notices that the smoke and the rain has cleared slightly, explaining his better eyesight, as the harmful gas begins to dissipate. As he walks, he sees her. With a bloody trenchcoat, and a blood pool forming, Joe has no doubts about the fact that not only is she a Wiki-Warrior, but also the one he shot just seconds before. Kneeling down, Joe pressed a hand to the back of her neck before attempting to use his magic in his other. [3+2] With a blue glow, he generates a icicle dagger of a decent quality, it's sharp end perfect for stabbing into those caught unawares. [2 v Auto-Fail (Unconscious] Joe stabs into her back, only to make the unconscious girl moan in agony. He stabs her over and over again until the gasps of pain die out with her, her death rattle sending a chill down Joe's spine. As he steps back, he thinks to himself, "All of this...over a wish. All of this pain...over a mere chance to live a new life. Why...why am I-"
Joe has gone full Michael Myers on ATHATH! Joe gets:
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Storm_Laser: +Storm Laser (Vehicle Based-Plasma Weapon Infinite/Infinite (Overheats if overused, only works when attached to a vehicle.)

His quite serious thoughts of pain and despair are suddenly interrupted by a giant laser falling out of the sky and smashing a nearby car, it's multiple barrels aiding the weight of the weapon as it crushes a Subaru under it's might. Joe thinks, "...That's why."

With the tentacle flailing through the air and the pain in her stomach, BiggerFish can only barely comprehend that she got through that with no injuries or even a scratch on her, her surprise further compounded by the sound of footsteps growing farther with the metal clanking leaving her side. She looks up to see Jericho sit back down [10], where she perfectly hears the reason why he left. "She's not worth it. Injured Wiki-Warriors won't do for cathartic revenge against the powers that be.", "Hmm...and besides that, we have a Void Bomb covering the entire train. If she tries to fight back and starts winning, we can just bail, so there's no point anyway.". With that, BiggerFish sits up, clutching her stomach tightly, as she prepares to defend against any attacks. She holds a hand up to her Bluetooth, but at the other end there is only static, it's noise bleeding into Fish's brain as she frowns.

After that explanation, his imagination running wild over the appearance of the psychic, feral animal, Beirus takes a full swig of Fenrir, the buzz taking his stomach, before he says, "Interesting. I may have to see about hunting one of those. Or maybe getting a baby one and raising it for the next round.". Theren looks up, his eyes still obscured by the opaque lenses of his glasses as he says, without a hint of caring, "Good luck. The only tame ones we've found are Insads. The main Webagon species are much too feral. Though killing them is certainly an option.". Beirus nods before continuing, "So, where are you from, Theren? Or do you prefer Mr. Norfolk? What did you do before you became entangled in the Wiki Wars?". Theren appears to actually be deep in thought, pausing as if to think, though his response is as dry as ever in tone. "If you wish to be formal, Dr. Norfolk will work. If you're talking about my birthplace, I could not tell you. My family, as it were, traveled quite a bit during my youth. I've seen deserts, forests, cities. If you're referring to my current residence, I have a house in Osaka, though I travel quite a bit. Before I met Mr. Warner, I worked two careers. I was a doctor mainly residing in Quebec, where I mainly did surgery. Patients varied. Children with a splinter in their ankle. Cancer patients with tumors in their brain or their bones. Appendicitis. One day, I was approached by a man in a hood in an alley outside of my hospital who pointed a gun at me. All I shall say about the matter, unless asked, is that he dropped a letter, addressed to an "Astrid". When I met him, it was in the dark, yet I could see him as it the sun shone from inside his hood. He gave me information about someone named Herzog, and told me to keep it secret until a man named Maxwell Warner accepted the offer. My second career was keeping secrets for the Cult of Jericho. And I shall keep them until the current war between you Gifted subjects ends and Mr. Warner can receive his end of the bargain."

BSN: Plot, suckas. We out.

So it has been a while since the last turn. Sorry! Haven't been feeling efficient, and that may be helped by the fact that I have a fourth game now! Yeah, I know! I normally don't advertise, but it doesn't have any players except Joe. It's a...I wouldn't say Suggestion Game, really. It's more of a comment driven story. It's based around the Rooster Teeth web show RWBY, and I'll put a link in the thread if anyone's interested.

Also, ATHATH, I'll ask you if you want to come back...but you did abandon us.

Seeing the massive flashlight laser gun outside I walked out of the building before taking a look around for, well, any vehicle that wont be crushed by the thing.

In descending order of priority:

Breathe, heal, hope for contact from outside.

Communicate by tapping Morse Code over the headpiece's mic instead of speech to avoid notifying them of my presence overmuch if I can get a line out.

Look for this 'Void Bomb'.

Late Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

With a satisfied nod at the laser cannon currently smashing a poor red Subaru, whistling like he just got a raise, a new car, and three scantily clad women on both arms after winning the Super Bowl twice and I've lost the simile. Moving on. PirateJoe walks around the parking lot close to ATHATH, his eyes carefully scanning each and every car in the area to find something that can even hold the Storm Laser, let alone keep it steady. [9] With an eye for detail, he spots a jet in the middle of the lot, it's white, pristine shine aided by the rainfall to give it a truly majestic glare. Now, to move the gun over...

Train 45-A
Late Morning, Raining, 7/20/2016

With the mention of the Void Bomb escaping the lips of the twisted Operator and the static invading her ear, both triggering a reaction in her brain, BiggerFish begins to run down her priorities and options. First, heal up and hope for contact. She tries to sneak into another car in the train [7], and manages to dash into the next car. It's identical to the first car, save for the obvious lack of the odd tentacle or busted door or windows. With that said, she looks for a first aid kit [9] and manages to find one on a nearby seat. She cracks it open to find bandages, some gauze, and an Adrenaline shot. She wraps the bandages around the laser wound, making sure she stops bleeding before something terrible happens. [9] With a final tight wrap, she stops the bleeding and keeps the wound secure. Next, she checks to see if she can get a signal with it. [1] She connects it to a signal and begins tapping in morse code, asking for help. She continues this until something comes out of the other end...and it isn't a voice. Another black tentacle pops out of the microphone and wraps around her head, causing her to drop the microphone in fear and shock. The tentacle then recedes back into the mic, and when Fish picks it up, she can only hear the static, though with the added effect of something growling on the other end. Placing the mic into her pocket, she begins looking for the so called "Void Bomb". [1] She not only can't see anything from her car, but it seems as though every single other car is painted in pitch blackness. Each light is off, and the darkness is all encompassing. With that, she attempts to lay a trap at the door to prevent another incident. [5] She gets a simple barbed wire tripwire going, but before she can connect it to anything, she's interrupted...by the previously forgotten Adventure Core. "So, uh, beautiful! Would you like some help with that? My bulging mus..cl...huh. Still, I can be of great use to you, m'lady." Everybody run, it's Nolan North.

With those answers in mind, and a few more questions rushing through his head, Beirus takes a sip of the Fenrir in his cup before looking at Theren and musing to himself, "James' father, then? I suppose he needed to be dead before he would accept the offer.", before speaking up and asking, "What happened between you and the man in that alley? Who was he? And what did he offer you that would drive you to take part in this?". At that, Theren drinks some whiskey himself before saying, "First, you are inferring that he gave me an offer. A noble effort, but I only mentioned him dropping a letter. Now then, I did identify him after the fact. Oboro Suzaki, Japanese-American former Professional Wrestler, previously signed to a promotion in the city-state Angel Fire. What happened was that he jumped me and told me to kneel. "Become yet another martyr for our cause", he said. Trying to be intimidating, I suppose. Then...", before drinking from his whiskey. After taking the drink, his voice actually gains an emotion to it: Venom. Not anger, but an edge that shows emphasis. "I grabbed his gun and unloaded it, before slamming it into his face. As soon as he hit the ground, I kneeled down and grabbed him by the hair before I proceeded to bash his skull against the pavement. As soon as blood began to leak out and he started to beg for mercy, I grabbed a bit of glass from the ground from an incident at the hospital. I slashed his throat open immediately, and stared into his eyes as he gargled on his blood and died right there.". Beirus looks at the previously uncanny doctor with shock, as he continues, "When I tore the bloodstained letter from his cloak, I thought it would give me the outlook needed to stop pretending w-I was as human as people though I was.". His voice loses the venom and regains the deadpan delivery, however, as he says, "But that was a violent episode. One that may not have to repeat so long as everything goes well."

BSN: Yep.

First, the segment with Theren was originally going to be much darker. But I started having second thoughts, mostly because it seemed a bit over the top. If anyone (Beirus) asks, I'll say what it was.

Second, I'm going to try to stop being awkward, and start being a little more outgoing. No more asking for waitlists, but more honestly. Less asking for advice, and more looking at myself. Hopefully, that'll go two-fold: It'll improve my IRL self into being a bit better at the things I do, and it might bring people in who were scared off by my winning personality. Because I'm Charlie Sheen.

((Oh yay, now I get to show Beirus' new, post-Round One/Operator meeting mentality.))

Beirus' shocked facade drops quickly, leaving him with a small smile as he no longer needs to maintain his act. "A sociopath, then? I suppose there is no reason to pretend at my own humanity now. It may make you less humane, but not less human, Theren. Humans are diverse, and failing to meet established social norms does not make you any less of a human. Many men have done worse, and then sought to justify it through lying to themselves, or warping the truth to fit their perspective. It seems you don't have that problem. You understand what you do, and need no justification for it. That is a truth I have only begun to see. There is no need to justify yourself to those weaker than you. Power is the only justification you need. The greatest lie humanity ever told itself was that the opinions of the weak matter when their numbers don't make up for the power gap. The only ones you should justify your actions to are those with the power to stop you. And luckily for me, the only ones with the power to stop me are the ones enabling me. They require no justification."  Beirus speaks, his smile growing wider by the end of his speech. "I would like to continue this conversation, but I hope you will excuse my multitasking. After all, this is still a deathmatch, and I haven't won just yet." Beirus says before using his power over aether to make some allies and send them on their way. "Why did you become a doctor? Was it for the challenge? Because you enjoyed carving people up and stitching them back together? Or was it an attempt to compensate for your darker desires and appear more human?" Beirus asks after taking another sip of whiskey.

Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

As the rain starts to slow and the wetness of the concrete and asphalt floor becomes apparent, the current Ice Mage named PirateJoe looks at the random plane in concentration, the cogs and gears turning in his head as he thinks. With a snap of his fingers, letting loose a bit of frost from his fingers as the tips turn an unhealthy blue, he walks back over to the Storm Laser, still sitting on the car as though it was untouched. With a wave of one hand and the touch of another, he attempts to freeze unimportant components to lessen the weight. [2+2] Immediately, several parts of the gun turns blue as frost seems to bleed off of it, it's cold feeling accentuating success in the mission. Joe attempts to move the gun, only it does not budge. Looking down, he sees a bit of frost and ice accidentally connecting the Storm Laser to the crushed automobile, it's glass shards and broken metal seemingly acting as PirateJoe's patience. With a sigh, he thinks of his next move.

Train 45-A
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

With a roll of the eyes, a raised eyebrow, and the twisting of the sharp barbed wire still somewhat in her hands, it's obvious that the false bravado of the Nolan North voiced Adventure Core doesn't faze the Wiki-Warrior BiggerFish in the slightest. "What with?" she asks, her questioning tone letting the Adventure Core know her skepticism. "W-Well, I...oh yeah! I am an expert in fifty-eight known Martial Arts, and I weigh a minimum of fifty pounds!", it/he says to her, The Fish responding, "Right.". [8+2 (Trapping)] Fish not only finishes the barbed wire trap, but also takes a bonus to scrounging around to make it into a proper trap. [10+2] She finds a whole assortment of trapping gear in a suitcase under a seat, a quickly scratched note saying "Better safe then sorry. For the cause. Kill the 223. Better safe then sorry.". Included in the suitcase are the following:

1x M18 Claymore Mine and Detonator
2x Bear Traps
1x Smoke Grenade
1x Tabun Gas Grenade
1x Gas Mask

Satisfied, Fish collects all of the items before thinking of two things: what to use with the tripwire, and what to do next.

?
?

With wide eyes and jaw agape, at first glance, it seems like Beirus is shocked beyond all relief after hearing Theren Norfolk's tale of violence. This facade gives way, however, revealing a small smile and eyes like that of a hungry wolf. "A sociopath, then? I suppose there is no reason to pretend at my own humanity now. It may make you less humane, but not less human, Theren. Humans are diverse, and failing to meet established social norms does not make you any less of a human. Many men have done worse, and then sought to justify it through lying to themselves, or warping the truth to fit their perspective. It seems you don't have that problem.

The only ones you should justify your actions to are those with the power to stop you. And luckily for me, the only ones with the power to stop me are the ones enabling me. They require no justification.". Theren looks up before taking a long sip of his whiskey, then looking at him. Beirus smiles at him wider and wider, standing up from his seat as he explains, "I would like to continue this conversation, but I hope you will excuse my multitasking. After all, this is still a deathmatch, and I haven't won just yet.". At this, he turns and waves his hands around, a pale violet afterimage making his fingers appear downright supernatural. [4+2] At the wave of his hand, the energy around them seems to change, enough for Beirus to notice. Not Aether energy, but an energy nonetheless. Nevertheless, three beings that appear to be made of energy emerge, their bodies golden with white glowing eyes. With a non-verbal wave, the three create a Rift, before flinging themselves towards wherever this "Pirate Joe" would be. They have four moments to make it happen. Beirus then turns back to Theren and asks, his grin the widest at that moment. "Why did you become a doctor? Was it for the challenge? Because you enjoyed carving people up and stitching them back together? Or was it an attempt to compensate for your darker desires and appear more human?", he asks, yet only after taking a sip of whiskey. Theren looks up to him and says, "...To appear human is useless, Beirus. You said it yourself. We're both monsters at this point. One was still clinging on to a recent point, and the other is me.". Beirus nods, before remaining stood up as to ponder his next action.

BSN: I am on a drug; it's called "Charlie Sheen".

Round Sixteen: Magic
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

With a heavy sigh leaving his lips, his breath showing from the cold in a brief cloud of white, PirateJoe resigns himself...to either a brilliant idea or an over-complicated one. Placing his hands upon the broken red Subaru, he channels his Ice Magic to the cold metal, his fingertips and eyes glowing a cool blue as they use the channeled power. [10+2] He flash-freezes the Subaru, it's firetruck red color turning into a dull purple as a layer of frost covers it. It not only works the way he intended, the frost somehow lessening the weight despite the weight of the frozen water due to it's magical power, but it also converts the rounds in the Storm Laser. While it would previously fire plasma, Ice Magic seeps into the ammo supply, causing the previously red-hot laser rounds to convert to a cooler substance. [Intuition Check: 10] Joe, knowing his magic well, knows on pure intuition what the lasers do. While not hot enough to burn holes into targets, the plasma will exhaust itself onto a target and flash-freeze whatever hit. While Joe can restore the red hot plasma, the Ice Magic affected blasts are pretty effective. Joe then drags it towards the plane [6+2], making quick progress as the car and the Storm Laser are light enough to pick up and carry. He makes it pretty close to the jet, but before he can set then down, an Aether Rift opens next to the jet. Out of it pops three beings made of golden energy, their white, glowing eyes giving them an eerie edge. Both of their hands have clawed fingers, each point sharp and wicked as they hunch over, ready to begin the assault.

Train 45-A
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

With an impish grin on her face and two fingers on her chin, her thoughts forming into a plan that may seem like overkill to the average person, but her targets are no average people. Throwing the gas mask over her head, it's lenses giving everything a slightly green tint, she starts by rigging the smoke bomb and the first two bear traps, since they'll be the first to fire. [5+2, 7+2] All three are successfully rigged. Now, for the most dangerous items: the toxic gas and the explosive. [5+2, 9+2] BiggerFish rigs both, and while the Tabun Gas is perfectly fine where it is, the Claymore is placed in such a way that no one can escape it's explosive power. If she triggers that button, anything in the radius will be caught in the fireball. She looks out the door to see if her targets are coming. [6] She only sees the obvious: Jericho and The Operator are still in the cockpit. She can't tell if they're coming, nor what they're planning. She turns to the Adventure Core and asks, "If you have any plans, say them now. And if you say "hit them really hard", I will kick you out the window.". The Core looks to her and says, "Um, we could hit them really hard,", which causes her to scowl a little until the Core continues, "By you throwing me at them?". Fish only sighs before nodding.

?
?

With silence in the air, the answers so far given, Beirus continues to work on what is, essentially, a doomsday plan against the opposition. Beirus pulls his Barrett 50. Cal out of his armor before using his Alchemy, Proto-Stone, and Aether powers to upgrade it. [10+3+2] What comes out is a new gun. Rather then the normal ten round magazines, each one 50. BMG, it now has fifteen rounds of bullets that can rip people in half. The scope now had variable sight, being able to click a notch and zoom in further. Each round, in addition to being large and powerful, now can accept Magic, leading to a potential fifteen round mixed bag of Magic Rounds. Thus, the Barrett M82 has been enhanced into the Barrett M223 Devastation. Popping the Sniper Rifle back into his armor, he turns around only for Theren to speak up, his voice still deadpan and emotionless. "Why did you come here? If you wanted more information, why go to me? If you wanted a talk, that's reasonable.", he says, before his voice takes on the more sinister intonation. "Did you come to kill me? We're both monsters, yet you still hold enough respect to Earth to reject the Operator's plan. Jericho's plan. So, what was it? Rejection of the ideals, or a simple chat between a scientist and an Alchemist of war?". Beirus turns back to look at him, forming a response to the query.

The three Ethereal allies of Beirus charge towards PirateJoe, claws at the ready. [4 v 5] The one in the front swipes, Joe dodging out the way by the breadth of a hair's length. [1 v 4] Another one charges in, only to slip on the wet floor and fall onto the asphalt. [8 v 5] The final one slashes Joe's chest open, four claw marks drawing quite a bit of blood. Not too dangerous on it's own, but it is still bleeding quite a bit.

BSN: HOWDY. I'M GREATY. GREATY THE GREAT NAT.

So, yeah. Here's the turn. Don't really have an update, save for one observation: the final three here are all players from Chapter One. That's kind of cool, I suppose.

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have tried by now. Besides the obvious countermeasures I'm sure you must have, such a direct attempt at disrupting their plans would probably warrant their involvement without the constraints their power has been placed under. You invited me here for a chat, Theren. It can be difficult to find idle subjects for conversation in the middle of a deathmatch that is tied into plans to bring the apocalypse, but I suppose I could give it another try. What are your interests?"

Magic Ammo? Use Alchemy with the Protostone and Aether Manipulation to make them unavoidable homing bullets that home in on my enemies and hit them no matter the distance, angle, or cover.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Seventeen: Interests
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

As blood drips down his shirt, the pain of the wound dulling the nerves around his ribs, PirateJoe turns to the creatures and says, "Wow, rude.", before holding his hands out. A blue, cold glow once again takes hold of him as he summons it's power. [9+2 v 3, 8+2 v 1, 4+2 v 4] Suddenly, with very little warning, a blast of icicles bursts from his hands and launch out towards the Ethereal creatures. One gets an icicle in the stomach and one arm, tearing the arm away and causing the beast to land on it's back. Another gets a heap of icicles in the head and chest and it dies instantly, dissolving into Aether matter. The final one dodges some, though one embeds itself in it's right hand. As the surviving creatures let loose a howl of violent pain, Joe just walks towards the jet with a hand at his chest.

As the scowl on her lips drops into more of a confused glare, the gas mask clad BiggerFish says, "Er, that was more that I wanted to learn some sort of combat abilities, yeah?", which makes the Adventure Core twitch its eye nervously. "Uh, yeah. I knew that. Um, well...I got nothing.". Well at least it's honest.. Rolling her eyes, Fish pulls her Bluetooth out of her pocket, investigating whether or not she's still under demonic interference. [7] Everything seems calm, and when she tunes into the Bluetooth, she speaks a greeting to it. Immediately, she hears Abigail's panicked voice. "F-Fish? You're alive?", she says, causing Fish to raise an eyebrow and ask, "What?". Abigail's voice continues with, "When I-I tried to get t-to you, I heard s-screaming and a flatline. Screaming and...and-". She's clearly panicking.

With a raised eyebrow, the Disgraced Alchemist looks back to Theren and explains, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have tried by now. Besides the obvious countermeasures I'm sure you must have, such a direct attempt at disrupting their plans would probably warrant their involvement without the constraints their power has been placed under. You invited me here for a chat, Theren. It can be difficult to find idle subjects for conversation in the middle of a deathmatch that is tied into plans to bring the apocalypse, but I suppose I could give it another try. What are your interests?". Theren looks up to the Catholic Alchemist, pushing his glasses back up as he calmly says, "My interests? Hobbies?", to which Beirus nods. "Well...I have an interest in mythology. Christian, Greek, Roman, Norse. Stories of heroes and Gods, and the so called "Evil" that opposes each. One of the books I enjoyed reading growing up was a copy of the Bible. Not because I was religious, but rather because the stories interested me. The flood that killed the Earth. The rise of Saul the Judge. The Crucifixion of Christ. I listed the morbid ones, but each story has a memory. I could put myself at that time period and see Christ himself walk the Earth. I was also interested in stories like the Iliad and the Epic of Gilgamesh. It's just, something about the times before that interest me.". Beirus stands up and tries to alter each and every bullet to be an improvement, after checking the Stone to see if there's still souls to use. [5] There's enough for this last transmutation, which can break the laws of physics. [4+3+2] While they don't become homing bullets, everything else he wanted to happen hits the bullets. They become surged with Alchemical power, negating drop off. They don't home in, but they can pierce cover, and strike a target at any distance. Theren continues talking, saying, "I also have an interest in alternate timelines. Do you want to hear about that, or shall I call in my other guest?"

The Ethereal creatures that survived the attack do two different things. The more seriously injured one lays on the ground and growls in pain. The more intact one chases Joe down and tries to claw him apart. [8 v 3] Joe, walking back to the plane, doesn't see or hear the creature coming until two claws stab into his back, the nails poking into his ribs. As he gasps, the creature tries to hurt him further, holding off on killing him. [Non Lethal: 7 v 9] Joe suddenly grabs it's head and throws it back, his blood spilling as the claws exit his body. Joe leans against the engine of the jet, breathing hard as he latches onto the engine.

BSN: Oh, yeah. Establishing my Universe. Maybe.

So, I don't know what I'm gonna say here. Other then the fact that I might be getting better at writing characters. Tell me what you think!

Whoever sent you doesn't matter I'm going to win this fucking game and get my damn wish dammit! Call me selfish all you want, I'm done giving, I want to take something for once in my damn life!"

Round Eighteen: Anger
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

As his clenched fist opens up and leaves a bloody handprint on the plane's engine, the crimson stain obvious on the white sheen, PirateJoe's face contorts into a terrifying combination of rage and vengeance as he yells out, "I didn't fucking kill a bunch of people so I could just die here and let their deaths be completely meaningless! Whoever sent you doesn't matter, I'm going to win this fucking game and get my damn wish dammit! Call me selfish all you want, I'm done giving, I want to take something for once in my damn life!". The injured creature backs away in a surprising move of self-preservation, but the living one crouches down, ready to pounce, were it not for Joe wrapping his hands around his BFG. [4 v 5] All of that fury serves as a detriment, however, as his wounds and mental state leave round after round striking only the ground around the main creature, destroying the asphalt but leaving the creature alive. Fifteen rounds were wasted, as the creature still stands, leaving Joe gibbering and angry.

Train 45-A
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

As the panicked voice nervously and quickly stutters out what happened, her breathing going quicker and quicker as she continues, BiggerFish tries her best to calm Abigail down. "Abigail, just breathe, okay? I'm all right. I'm maybe a bit shook up by the presence of certain factors of you know who, but otherwise uninjured. Not sure if I'll necessarily stay that way but several different layers of deadly death blocking the only way putative opponents would reasonably take to enter here is probably a decent deterrent. What did you hear?", she says, hoping to calm her friend down. Abigail breathes in and out, and begins to explain, "W-Well, when you got on your train, I started to hear some static interference, so I took it o-out of my ear, t-to check it. W-When I put it back, all I heard was s-static, and I thought it was broken 'till I started something growling. It was like a bloody m-monster! I was a-about to ask what was going on, until I-I heard a flatline, and...I feared the worst.". BiggerFish, listening to all of that, nods as she says, "Okay. Also, where am I going? Can you tell?". [3] Abigail's voice pipes in, responding with, "N-No. It's all over the place. It seems to be saying you're going to Okayama, y-yet also passing through a Rift, yet a-also not moving at all.". So much for that plan, I guess.

?
?

After adjusting each round in the Barrett M223 Devastation and popping the rounds back in the gun, Beirus turns to Theren and says, "Mythology is an interest of mine as well. I always liked the tales of people and things larger than life, doing the impossible. So, have you observed any alternate timelines? Anything interesting in them?", while working on more Ethereal Allies. [7+2+2] Two more Allies appear, now inhuman in nature. Rather then humans, they resemble crab-like creatures, with their claws being replaced with gaping jaws, complete with teeth and tongue. They also have blades as replacements for their legs. They certainly know lethal force. One Rift later, and they are sent to PirateJoe. Theren Norfolk responds with an explanation. "Yes, I have. In fact, I've done enough to come into contact with other researchers of the timelines, some from other timelines. I have a scientific theory about it, confirmed true by my sources. In any given Universe, there is a central "Prime" timeline, the first to form with the Universe, and then Splinter Timelines that emerge from differences. We are in a Splinter Timeline. I saw our Prime counterpart. The "real" timeline, as it were, has Rifts leading to worlds filled with the inhuman; Monsters, as it were. The only reason our world isn't swarmed by Zombies and Werewolves and the like is because of our Splintered existence. I could tell you more about it, if you're interested. My next meeting can wait, or perhaps join us in this occasion.". Beirus nods, and prepares to respond.

The still standing Ethereal Ally charges towards PirateJoe. [3 v 5] As it charges forward, Joe dodges just in time to see the creature stab into the engine [5], becoming barely stuck.

Round Nineteen: Veil
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

As rain and blood falls onto the asphalt and stains the grey ground, the wheezing and gasping of PirateJoe would send shivers down the spine of anyone in the vicinity, but no one came. No one's watching. As he ponders his lonely pain, he's also picking his minigun up and aiming it at the offending creature, revving up the chambers as he levels the large gun at the beast. [10 v 7] A short burst of four rounds flash out of the spinning barrels, three of which slam into the creature's right arm, disabling it from the elbow down, while one grazes it's shoulder. As the creature steps back and growls in pain, Joe runs off and tries to hide. [2] Despite all the good spots for cover, a combination of determined pride and vicious rage keep him at a decent distance from the creatures. He leans back against a car in pain, looking to the creatures, only to see another Rift open near him. Three...crab demons of some sort pop out, walking across the ground while pinching their claws, teeth and tongue bare in the open graspers as sharp legs pierce the ground. The muttering of, "Oh for the love of...", says it all.

Train 45-A
Afternoon, Light Drizzling, 7/20/2016

At the moment in time the conversation is taking place, the train is still rolling through the tunnel purged in darkness, black shadows covering the walls of the tunnel and hiding the edges. With two fingers pressed against her Bluetooth speaker, BiggerFish sums up her recent experiences. "Yeah, mine grew a tentacle. It was freaky.", she says. The first response is silence, quickly followed up by a groan and the words, "T-That's it? Just a tentacle? W-With all due respect, Fish, I got the approximation of what might be y-your murder, and you got a tentacle. Seems lackluster.". Fish nods, before she remembered that it wasn't a video call and said, "Hm. So a Rift???". Abigail responds with the clear intonation of concentration, responding with, "Like I said, it's all over t-the place. At least one reading says that you're entering a Rift t-to a place I can't pronounce correctly, yet another o-one says you're not moving. What does that say? Greckteasy? Grecker-Grecked-It's a place, I can't pronounce i-it.". BiggerFish looks out the window to the shadows, and uses her basic math to figure out when she'll get to whatever destination she's headed. [6] She reasons that it can't be too long, just fifteen-thirty minutes at the least. (One Dialogue Turn+One Normal Turn) She sits down on a seat and looks around for something hiding in those shadows. [9-2(Shadowed)] While the darkness does cascade around everything, she can make out more tentacles outside the train, one tentacle turned to her. In place of suction cups, there are crimson red eyeballs, gazing into her soul.

?

In the dining room, lit by a nearby fireplace and several candles with scientific instruments and magical runes surrounding it, the Disgraced Alchemist sits down at the table bearing the eye of the Webagon, staring off into space. Beirus leans forward, and says, "I would indeed like to hear more about it.". The man in front of him, Theren Norfolk, nods before pressing a button and quietly whispering something to someone. He then looks Beirus in the eye, and speaks in his monotone voice, with no care or emotion put into his delivery. "Well, in our prime timeline, around 1326 to 1345, a large surge of Magic entered public space. Needless to say, the more superstitious populace began to openly execute users of Magic. This changed, however, when one man was executed. His death opened flood gates no one knew existed, and Rifts were torn into the Monster Realms; Beastia, The Void, and Draconia. This man resurrected into an unstoppable force from the energies, becoming the Rainmaker. Before he could tear the world asunder, the king od Draconia, known as Agazhim, sealed him away into a space between the Timelines. Limbo, as it were. So, Agazhim's respect was granted, because he was a Dragon, and he allowed Magic to be used on his own power. That is the abridged version, considering there's a lot to talk about and it's 2016 in that timeline. By the way, I suppose it's time for my next guess. If you wish to stay and meet him, feel free to.". After all that, Beirus nods as Theren presses a button and whispers something else. Beirus hears doors in the building open up, and makes his choice there.

With beady eyes, the Ethereal Creatures peer and comb over their immediate area to look for PirateJoe. [10] Without any help from the still living, though retreating, Ethereal Allies, they spot him leaning against a white Mustang. One jumps on top of the cars and begins sprinting at him, toothed claws held out in front of it. [7 v 5] Joe looks away just in time to feel the worst pain you can feel on any beach not located in Glasgow; a crab latching onto your ear. Only difference is, first, in Glasgow that pain is getting shanked in the ankle. But second, the combination of crab claw and human like teeth combine into a vicious grapple that leaves the unearthly abomination dangling off Joe's head. The other two duck and weave around the trucks, [8] remaining hidden as they flank Joe.

BSN: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161851.0. This link is the Lore and Mythos. It goes into greater detail from Beirus's turn.

So, on the game I recently made based on this Mythos, a player dropped out. No hard feelings, obviously. Just a lack of communication because I'm a forgetful idiot. So, I decided to rectify my mistakes here. So, I'll try to set the scene a lot better, because A. I really like room descriptions, and B. It'll help with play, I'd wager.. If you wanna see what happened, don't. It's not important. I just wanted to tell you why I bothered to start describing things. I also, once again, urge interactivity and free form. If you want to, instead of killing, nuke the Czech Republic and raise a monkey army, do it! There's a main objective, but it's not the end all, be all method of play.

Round Twenty: Desperate Struggle
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum, Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuyama_Railroad_Educational_Museum)
Evening, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

As blood drips onto the pavement and pained gasps fill the air, his groans strained as his voice weakens, PirateJoe's knees buckle as he feels the pain grow. He can no longer ignore it through adrenaline and healing. Agony bleeds through his chest, back, and shoulderblades as pain slowly sets in where determination rested. Despite this, his two hands still grasp at the crab creature, trying to pull it off. [6-1 v 2] Despite the sheer, furious agony in his body, Joe manages to pull the crab off of his ear with minimal further damage, it's toothed pincers snapping and biting as it tries to grab him. [3-1 v 10] Hoisting it up, Joe tries to throw it away, but the crab manages to get an attack off as the pain prevents anything of substance. [2 v 10-1] Before it can, Joe gets enough of a second wind to run off, a momentary respite from the pain setting in as he runs. [4] While the crabs can see him still, his stopping point behind a car gives him a bit of cover from anything they try to do to kill him. [Defense: +1 unless Flanked)

Train-45-A
Evening, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

With widened eyes and gaping mouth, her pupils shrinking slightly as the darkness of the both the train and the wall bends around her, BiggerFish pushes a shaking hand up to her Bluetooth and lets loose a shrill "EEK!" through the earpiece. Carter's voice is the one that comes through this time, his Irish accented voice coming in deadpan, yet startled and angry. "Gah! What the hell, Fish?". Fish then asks, "Where's Abigail?", to which Carter responds with, "She's doing calculations. Why did ya scream like that?". Fish shakily says, "There is a creepy tentacle thing on the train.". Silence comes over before a familiar meek voice comes over. "P-Pardon?" Abigail asks, her nervous voice wavering in a familiar way. Fish repeats what she says, to which Abigail says, "W-Well, I'm just a journalist. I d-don't know if there is a database for t-this, but I can look, a-alright?". Fish nods and gives an affirmative before sitting down, waiting for the next move.

As the orange and red candlelight glows around the still drinking Disgraced Alchemist, the flickering flame burning brightly around the table, Beirus turns to the door as he says, "Interesting. I may have to pay that universe a visit some time. I've already been to the Void, seen the Maw. Maybe Beastia or Draconia would be interesting. And I have no problem meeting your other guest. I have no other pressing issues. After all, this round only lasts so long as I allow it.", slight smugness in his power evident in his voice. The double doors open to show another man. Dark brown hair is tied into a long ponytail, as sunglasses hide hazel eyes and a goatee goes around his mouth. He's wearing a crimson suit with a maroon tie, crimson pants and black dress shoes completing his ensemble. "Theren! I would say that it's nice to see you, but I see you every day." he says, his voice smug and sharp as though his tongue was made of silver. Beirus stands up and holds a hand up to shake this man's hand. "I'm Beirus.", he says, to which the man shakes his hand and says, "Name's Lucas, though I was born Lucille. Both are pretty nice, I suppose.". Both of them sit down, and Beirus thinks of a way for, what else? Talky Stuff.

Due to him not sneaking, the crab creatures lunge towards the car he's cowering behind, all three having their bladed legs at the ready. [6 v 1+1] [9 v 5+1] [9 v 1+1] The first blade leg strikes as the crab lunges under the car, hitting his back where his stabbed area is, injuring it further and pushing it into dangerous levels. The second one stabs into his right arm as it's crab jumps over the car, popping a bleeding hole into it. The final one doesn't comes until he tries to get up, to which it stabs him through the left eye through the car door, the other door open, sending him screaming. He tries to pull it out of his socket, [1-2 (Pain, Bleeding, Blinded)] but the blade pushes further through his skull, as Joe's screams suddenly stop as blood gargles out of his mouth. When the blade is pulled out, pink chunks of meat pop out as he collapses stone dead onto the pavement.

Am still interested, though a bit put off that we might have to keep fighting Beirus. Honestly it might be better to get him involved more with the greater plot you have planned while us lesser mortals build up enough power/relevance.

Edit: Ah well all right then.

Oh...well, since that's the case, I guess I'll say that I had a big choice planned out to either lose powers or lose your old wish, a sadistic choice to RP through; power or morality. In that case, though, I'll just leave the link to that game at the end. Though it is more then just one game, as my link at Round Nineteen showed.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Twenty-One: The Void Train
Train 45-A
Evening, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

As her eyes adjust to the overwhelming darkness, revealing enough of the creature to guarantee that what she saw wasn't a trick of the eyes bathed in black, BiggerFish pats her pockets for her cellphone, not knowing if this version of her came with one. [9] Luckily, a smartphone is in her left side pocket on her pants, with a black case and a damaged and cracked screen from all the impacts, but it works. She raises the phone up to the window to catch the creature, switching to the camera and lining up the shot. [Quality Check: 8] After a flash emits from the phone, she turns it around, the screen showing a slightly brightened, and good quality image of the creature. Exactly how she thought it looked, it appears to be the shape of a star, or specifically a starfish, with seven long tentacles. Instead of suction cups, the things the creature is gripping with appear to be eyeballs, each tentacle bearing a different color. Staring at her, in the center, is a single eyeball with a pure black iris, as though the pupil were bleeding into the iris. Pressing two fingers up to her earpiece, Fish asks, "Hey, Abigail, what's your phone number?", which leads to silence. After a few seconds of quiet, Abigail says, "...U-um, w-why d-do you n-need to k-know?", to which Fish responds, "I'm going to send you a pic of the tentacle thing. It might help with identifying it.". Abigail utters a simple, "...Ah." before giving Fish her number. One fired text later, and Abigail says, "O-Okay...w-what the-?!", to which Fish responds, "Precisely. Also, could Thornhill take Beirus on?". Abigail curses under her breath before saying, "If we had g-guns to hire, and h-his location, maybe. I-I could place an o-order for some weaponry, and try to find his location. S-Should I g-go ahead? I mean, a-assuming I even can do w-what I ask.". Fish is about to respond, when a Rift suddenly opens next to her....

With the tapping of his fingers against the table, Beirus smiles under his helmet and says, "Pleasure to meet you, Lucas. Please, go on with your meeting. What is it about?". Lucas shoots a cocky smile his way before saying, "It's twofold, man. I'm actually a good friend of Theren's, but I came because Theren was telling me about this wild blood sport he said you're in. I actually had a question about that. He says that there's otherworldly creatures, demons, etcetera. Are there any...patterns? Like, do they show up at certain times, is there something in common? I'm quite curious.". Beirus, waving his hand to signal a Rift to BiggerFish, responds...

Suddenly, out of the Rift, three Crab-like Aether beings pop out [2, 10+2 (Trapping) v 2] right into BiggerFish's trap. Fish dives into the next car, blacked out and without light, as a very large explosion completely demolishes the second car, triggered by some quick thinking and the detonator, as a gas cloud chases after the front of the train. [8] Luckily, the explosion was large enough to destroy the car, yet secluded enough that the third car survived with only the door blasted out. [Health Check: 10] BiggerFish is also completely unharmed. [Distance Check: 9] And, there is one last bit of good news. The light at the end of the tunnel is fully visible.

BSN: Stickin' it to the man. I like it.

So, here's the turn. Good luck.

((Man, I was hoping for a hit squad. I wanted a new proto-stone. Also, Greatness, don't forget about my aether/alchemy powered forcefield if it becomes relevant.))

"Well, I've met Legion. Ran into him in a desert in California. He seemed bored, almost like the apocalypse was just something to do with his time. Seemed like a pretty nice guy, not overly hostile or threatening. Not like that Operator. That guy is a smug jackass. Talking so much shit and acting so high and mighty when he isn't even from this universe. Still, he keeps himself restrained. He seems to show up to gloat, or rub things in people's faces. He has a habit of just body snatching any civilians around, or he did before I wished them somewhere safe. I've only met Jericho in passing, but he seemed like the one that would fly off the handle at the slightest excuse, no matter the consequence it had on this apocalypse they're trying to set up." Beirus pauses and takes a drink to let Lucas process the information before continuing.

 "Speaking of the deathmatch, there should only be one person left other than me. I'll let them live as long as this discussion keeps my interest though, since I have enjoyed my conversation with Theren and I'm sure you have quite a bit to talk about. But they used their wish to give themself a toy. You ever see that show Person of Interest? They got the Machine from that, and I'm sure they'll probably try to use it to track me if they haven't already. But they messed up. You see, they wished for those causatively related to the Wiki Wars to be unable to harm the Machine. I'm a product of the Wars, though, not a cause. Since I would hate for this nice meeting to be interrupted by a hitsquad or something, I'll have to break their toy. It'll just take a moment."

Destroy the Machine with Alchemy and Aether Manipulation, preferably without killing any of the folks near it. Just leave them a note saying that I'm only sparing their lives once. Don't actually leave Theren and Licas, though, incase that wasnt clear. If I need to be able to move around, just step away from the table. And send some Ethereal Allies after Fish if I can.

Ah ah ah, hold on just a minute.  What, exactly, is Beirus's maximum range, and: isn't Beirus being causative of the Wiki-Wars by participating?  After all, they wouldn't happen if nobody fought them...

Also, Beirus, are you really sure you want to cause an apocalypse again?

The Machine would also have record of the forcefield, no doubt, so it might very well have not gone with a sniper.

Also, the show is Person of Interest, not Numbers.

With Alkahestry? The tectonic plate he's at, which is how he basically did an Undertale Genocide run on Africa back in Chapter One. Alchemy is on a slightly smaller scale. If he's at the same plate, it's fair game. If not, he can only use a +2 and Aether Manipulation. I assumed Causative meant "The Cause of, or Source of, a given event." Beirus didn't start the games, though I guess he is a source by being a competitor. Of course, that leaves it open for something outside of the games to disable it, like a Demon, Monster, or Human not affiliated with W.I.P, the Wiki-Warriors, or the Cult of Jericho.

((Yeah, but Aether Manipulation says I get to warp reality. Why can't I warp it so that my Alchemy works? Also, my alkahestry tracked across plates back when I tracked that one guy in Round 1 for TCM while I was in Rwanda. And Alkahestry doesn't do tectonics, it does the dragon force thing that flows through the whole planet.

Also, Fish, I wished everyone on the planet to safety once. The deaths of the ones you brought back that die through collateral are on you.))

Edit: ((Also, I'm not causing anything to do with the wars. The cable that an electrical charge passes through or the rails a train runs on are not the cause of the charge or the train. I did not start the Wars and I did not start the rounds. I'm outside of the whole process that continues the Wars, other than as a participant, which makes me more like a cog in a watch, not the spring that wound it.))

The thing is, the people who perpetuate the Wars aren't like cogs in a machine, they're like fuel for an engine.  Take away the fuel, the engine doesn't work.

Literally, as far as the metaplot goes, even.

And if you remove a cog the thing stops working, so even if you are just a cog, you're still part of the process.

Also also, I'm going to go look at the wording of Beirus's wish and see if it has any interaction with this scenario.

...Yeah, hmm.

There would not be perpetuation if something had not already caused it, and the things related to the cause, or bringing into existence, of something are causatively related, not those continuing to keep it existing. The Wars already had a cause by the time the first round started, and that round was an effect of that. I've got the definition of "cause" and "causative" if you'd like me to share it.))

Well, looking at the definitions you gave us...it kinda looks like you shot yourself in the foot.

See, you say you aren't producing the Wiki-Wars, yet you are a competitor. Everyone who plays this game is technically producing a bloodsport, interacting in it. Yes, it's a cosmic bloodsport, but in my opinion, production of a sport would be, well, playing the sport since you're producing a game of winners and losers, or in this case, survivors and fallen heroes.
Title: Re: Wiki Warfare: Cataclysm: Chapter Three, Round Twenty (2/10, 7 On Waitlist)
Post by: Beirus on January 06, 2017, 06:27:56 am
I'd argue that we are the raw materials in this situation though. The Operator and the others produced the Wars. We just act as the fuel to keep it going, fuel that would have no effect without something acting on it. Without them, there wouldn't be a Wiki Wars, regardless of whether or not the rest of us existed. We aren't producing the game, our existence is the game. We didnt cause the game, we are the game.

Also, that wasn't what I was arguing before. I was arguing that the higher beings were the root cause of the Wars as a thing in the first place, and anything causatively related would be related to that original cause for it existing because of how the wish was worded. Like in any other sport, producing a single game does not mean that you produced the sport as a thing. You continue its existence, but you did not bring it into existence in the first place.

If that's what you decide though, I'll abide by it and edit my action whenever I wake up. I can just talk to Lucas and Theren while the next round is going on, right?

Part of the cause of the Wiki-Wars is the availability and usefulness of those raw materials, though.

And being the game is kind of being a cause of the game.  The game can't happen without existing.

The game can't exist without something causing it to exist in the first place.

But actually, let's look at this game. We can tell from the OP that the outcome has already been decided. The Wars were already caused by the Operator and them, and we as participants do not have the ability to stop that. Which means that everything we do has already been decided upon. We cannot be a cause of the Wars because everything we do was caused by their existence. They existed before us, and causation does not work in reverse.

Well, while I haven't made a decision yet, I can say that perhaps I shouldn't have done the flashforward. I don't want it to seem like the players are fighting a hopeless battle...actually, now that I'm typing this, there's a ton of much better games where the players literally can't win, one example being Call of Cthulhu. I guess what I'm trying to type out is that, yes, the fate of the world has been decided, you can still set the characters back. You can stop it somewhat. Will the bad guys win? Maybe, but that's not hopelessness and failure, that's attrition. If this game feels too much like an unwinnable situation, I might change it. Wanted to re-write the opener anyway, it's too awkward and contradictory, looking back.

Anyway, keep discussing what you're discussing. I'll try to figure everything out later.

EDIT: Actually, lemme reflect, maybe it is good that it's not a "Humans Win" situation. Not because it's depressing, but because that leaves two things: The kind of Call of Cthulhu type gameplay where the more important is the little victories that keep things back. That, and it may leave room for future games in the same continuity.

Nah, that's the thing though. No matter what happens, no matter how many setbacks, it happens. Whatever we did was how it happened, and doesn't change the outcome. So it doesn't matter what we do or how the game goes, which gives us freedom to do whatever we want without derailing the game.

I probably should have used this example before, but look at any other Wars. Take World War II for example. Germany caused it to happen with the invasion of Poland. Other countries participated on both sides, but they did not cause it because it was already in motion. Pearl Harbor caused the U.S. to enter the war, but they did not cause the war.

Standing within an open and destroyed train car in Japan, with Okayama so close to her location, BiggerFish hops down and does her best to survive with a clever plan. She does her best attempt to sneak by hiding in the darkest shadows she can find, which happen to be within the car she's standing in. [7] While she thinks she does well, she would need something to come along and look for her to have it be effective.

He seems to show up to gloat, or rub things in people's faces. He has a habit of just body snatching any civilians around, or he did before I wished them somewhere safe. I've only met Jericho in passing, but he seemed like the one that would fly off the handle at the slightest excuse, no matter the consequence it had on this apocalypse they're trying to set up.", before pausing to drink his whiskey. Lucas's face seems impressed slightly as he drinks himself, before saying, "Sounds nice. Shouldn't knock people from other universes too much, but the Operator does sound like a dick.". Beirus nods, before saying, "Speaking of the deathmatch, there should only be one person left other than me. I'll let them live as long as this discussion keeps my interest though, since I have enjoyed my conversation with Theren and I'm sure you have quite a bit to talk about. But they used their wish to give themself a toy. You ever see that show Person of Interest? They got the Machine from that, and I'm sure they'll probably try to use it to track me if they haven't already. But they messed up. You see, they wished for those causatively related to the Wiki Wars to be unable to harm the Machine. I'm a product of the Wars, though, not a cause. Since I would hate for this nice meeting to be interrupted by a hitsquad or something, I'll have to break their toy. It'll just take a moment.". Standing up, he tries to use Alkahestry and Alchemy to track the Machine down. [6] He finds...nothing. Not a thing. Confused, he tries again. And again. "What's going on? Alkahestry uses the Dragon's Pulse! Chi! How-The Machine doesn't have a soul.". Facepalming his helmet, he tries to at least find the Machine Cell that BiggerFish belongs to. [4+2] This one turns up better results, as Alkahestry lets him see some people spread around the world. Grinning, he uses his Aether Manipulation to attack near some of them. [10+2] Using all the life-signatures he can, he tears a random Machine Cell apart [6] in Scotland. Satisfied, he sits down and waves his hands to summon more Ethereal Allies. [8+2] An Aether Rift opens up, it's luscious green bathing the room in a meticulous light, before it suddenly changes. Similar to Hawk's Rift, the green turns to red and it's white to black. Instead of any creatures not made of flesh, instead of an angel, three little creatures emerge from the Rift. They look like Imps, small and red with leathery skin, horns, and small, bat-like wings. Their teeth are sharp and crooked and flame dances between their fingers. Another Dark Rift opens up, and the Imps pass through it.

Morality Based Ability Shift: Aether Manipulation to Nether Manipulation.

BSN: Dun dun duuuun.

Any problems with the turn? Tell me. In the meanwhile, have fun with this little breather.

((I have a couple of bones to pick. I said to use my Aether Manipulation along with my Alchemy to destroy the Machine, as in together, not separately. That should have taken care of any issues with finding it, soul or not. I also wanted to avoid harming the people, not kill them randomly. Maybe sending them a message that I was aware of them and to stay the hell out of my way, but not killing them. While I think the ability shift was neat, that action wasn't at all what I intended to do, other than sending the allies.))

Y'Know, while I'm talking on Discord with FMA's Alchemy, I have an answer with each one.

1. How would you have used Alchemy? You're no where near where you need to be to use Alchemy on them. Ranged Alchemy was a by-product of Aether Manipulation, granted, but...

2. Fish explained a little more about The Machine to me on Discord. Namely, you can't find it. How? Well, lemme see. I believe something about being installed on whole power grids, ASI's being smarter then to let themselves die, the fact that Fish's machine cell is using a terminal, and not the full Machine as that's located elsewhere...

3. Also, what would mixing Alchemy with Aether Manipulation have gotten? Hooray, plus 4 to destruction...on a 9.

4. I never said you killed them, did I? No, I don't re-call doing that. I said you tore a random Cell apart. Yes, the wording was off and I'll fix it to what I meant to say (you killed their terminal), so I'll give you this one.

Also, Fish, I wished everyone on the planet to safety once. The deaths of the ones you brought back that die through collateral are on you.

The deaths of the ones you brought back that die through collateral are on you.
If only that where true...ah the classic "Its out of my control/Its his fault because [insert excuse here]" excuse, something that tends to happen after cognitive dissonance. AKA you did something you find morally wrong. So, in order to not feel guilty by it your brain decided to make up an excuse.

So, don't blame fish for your own actions...though it seems this argument was already had...

((It is true though. The moral implications and obfuscation do not change the fact that bringing them here brings them into danger that would have been avoided if they stayed.))

Beirus pauses for a moment after the Rift closes. "Nether? Something is wrong. It should have been aether. But what does that mean? Is my soul being altered somehow?" Beirus ponders aloud. "Well, I suppose I should end this sooner rather than later, to keep my soul from becoming any more damaged than necessary. I suppose the good thing is that I can still enjoy my drink while I do so. Did you have any other questions, Lucas?"  Beirus remarks, taking a drink of whiskey.

Guess it's time to end this. Alchemy/Alkahestry+Nether Manipulation, kill Fish. Not with rifts that she can reach me through, I mean like with instant turning her to dust or something. Use that tracker I built into my armor to get her location, or my abilities if I need to.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Twenty-Three: Not Ready to Die
Remains of Train 45-A's Cars
Evening, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

As the darkness surrounds the stealthy woman under the seat, the creaks of the broken car creating an atmosphere similar to an abandoned building, BiggerFish keeps hiding just in case. Suddenly, a red and black Rift blasts through space-time, sending light of a red color through the car. Three small Demons emerge, with their sharp teeth bared in a sadistic grin, as fire flickers in their palms. [3] One wrong move causes a noise, causing the imps to look to her seat, spotting her. As they move towards her, BiggerFish takes a deep breath and rushes out, charging towards the Rift. [8] She passes through it only seconds before it closes, the Imps grasping at the air where she was.

As the Rift closes behind him, Beirus pauses as his fingers begin shaking under his armor. He looks at his hands and says, "Nether? Something is wrong. It should have been Aether. But what does that mean? Is my soul being altered somehow?", looking to the two men in front of him. While Theren says nothing, Lucas has a look on his face. Not anything that stands out. No confusion, no smugness, no shock. He just has a unreadable glare. "Well, I suppose I should end this sooner rather than later, to keep my soul from becoming any more damaged than necessary. I suppose the good thing is that I can still enjoy my drink while I do so. Did you have any other questions, Lucas?", Beirus says as he finishes his glass through his helmet. Lucas's grin returns as he says, "Several. But I guess something normal is a good start. Any hobbies? ...Ah, who am I kidding, I've got something more pressing. What are you going to do after all this is over?". Before he answers, Beirus attempts to find Fish to end this once and for all. First, he places two fingers to the side of his helmet, activating his tracking device. [10+2] Through biological signs, he identifies every place Fish has been. Tsuyama, the phantom train, right behind him-Wait a minute. Beirus whips around to see Fish attempting to sneak away. She whips her head back, staring at the imposing figure in front of her. With destruction in mind, he combines his new found Nether capabilities and Alchemical destruction. [2+4 v 8] With sparks of red lightning, Beirus sends Alchemical energy out towards Fish, who dodges out of the way, allowing a nearby desk to become dust. Several Magical artifacts and technological wonders, such as the Book of Alastratis and a microscope, fall to the ground as Beirus's forcefield activates.

BSN: ...How did she-Nevermind.

But no, I actually didn't know if Fish would survive or not. That's dice games for you. On a side note, Beirus, want some boss music to go with this?

"After this round, Lukas? I'm taking a vacation, going to visit some other universes. But at the end of the Wars? I don't know, I guess that would depend on whether or not I still exist."

"And Theren, I apologize. It seems this fight spilled over to our dinner anyway. Would you like me to stop trying to kill him? You are the host, after all. I wouldn't want to accidentally offend you."

If it doesn't work the first time, try again. Preferably without property damage. If my Imps get here this turn, have them grab fish and hold her down. Or kill her, one of the two.

Boss Music: The Curse-Disturbed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKXpEa6g8kY)

With his brow furrowing in anger and confusion, his hands clenched in calm, yet blistering rage, Beirus turns back to Lucas and says, "After this round, Lucas? I'm taking a vacation, going to visit some other universes. But at the end of the Wars? I don't know, I guess that would depend on whether or not I still exist." before courteously saying, "And Theren, I apologize. It seems this fight spilled over to our dinner anyway. Would you like me to stop trying to kill him? You are the host, after all. I wouldn't want to accidentally offend you.". Lucas nods and Theren simply says, "If she survives this attack, then let her sit at the table. It would be a shame if any of my artifacts got destroyed.". Beirus claps again and tries to kill Fish with Alchemical Nether. [7+4 v 4] A bolt of red lightning flashes out towards Fish and, like TCM and the first PirateJoe, she has a chance of escape, but the cost of failure is great. [2+2 v 8-2 (Alchemic Power)] Miraculously, her feet give way as she dives out, just in time to see the bolt break through the wall. A city is visible. Namely, Rwanda itself is close by, as the cold day looms over. Fish sighs in relief, only to look down and see dusty stumps instead of hands and wrists.

Breathing hard, BiggerFish stands up and runs towards the destroyed table, sifting through the ruins with his stumps to find something useful to stop Beirus before it's too late. [2-2] She attempts to grab the Book of Alastratis, but fails. [4-2]Getting more results, she finds another book, this time a larger compendium called The Book of Advanced Hexes, by Dr. Salazar Undoon. The below average of the deal is a not, saying not to use the Runes inside the book to cast, as hunting for Cystallium is time consuming, and Blood Magic is risky. [4] A spiky, red, and glowing is on a nearby table, but it's effectiveness is slightly questionable, especially without hands.

BSN: Well, alrighty then.

"Well, Fish, you heard our host. Have a seat. And leave those artifacts where they are. If you try to take one, I'll assume you want to fight. The imps should be along shortly, they should be able to help you eat and drink." Beirus says before nonchalantly walking over to pull a seat out for Fish and then walking back to his seat.

Have some more whiskey. But if Fish tries to continue the fight, hit her with an Alchemy and Nether infused soccer kick.

Chapter Three: The Test Subjects
Match One: Deathmatch
Round Twenty-Four: Disarmed Succulence
Ruins of Rwanda, Africa
Night, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

With his foot tapping against the ground, kicking dust up with vigor, Beirus walks over to the wounded BiggerFish and quietly says, "Well, Fish, you heard our host. Have a seat. And leave those artifacts where they are. If you try to take one, I'll assume you want to fight. The imps should be along shortly, they should be able to help you eat and drink.". As he says that, another Rift pops open to reveal the three Imps, still walking with a mischievous gait, though one seems spooked as he wide eyes and constant checking of his six dictate. Beirus walks over to an empty chair and pulls it out, with the Imps clambering onto the table following, whilst pulling random food onto the plate. [Food Quality: 4] Other then a little bit of chicken wings, what's pulled onto the table appears to be blue and purple meat with wisps of dark energy cascading of them, with the drink looking like wine, save for the finger added as the little umbrella. "Seems right to me.", Lucas says simply, his fingers tapping the table quietly.

While the dust replacing her limbs had already hit the ground, no feeling of grieving had, so the look on the face of BiggerFish was not sorrow, but rather a scowl. Turning to the Disgraced Alchemist, she says, "Really, Beirus? You're still playing into their hands.", with a neutral tone that doesn't denote any emotion other then inquisitiveness.

BSN: No News. Skip!

With a look of trepidation plastered on her face, her eyes staring at her food with glances towards the others in the room, BiggerFish steps ever so closer to the table and says, "Seriously. Even this fighting still brings them ephemerally closer.", with a stance showing that if she had arms, she would cross them. Turning his head to Fish, his own hands clasped together in a polite manner, Beirus responds to her remark with a gesture and, "And yet you participate as well, Fish. If you are truly against this fighting, you should forfeit the round. I only need one more wish, and then I can go somewhere out of their reach. By trying to stop me from doing that, you are helping them.", exasperation apparent in his voice. Fish's eyebrow raises as she says, "Well, then.  Should we frame it first?  Make sure it does what it says it does?", with questioning in her tone. Beirus is quick to respond, saying, "We are both here, Fish. The possibility of at least one of them watching us is almost a certainty. They would probably act to interfere with anything we discussed here if it was a threat to them.". Conceding the point, Fish simply says, "True." and sits down at the seat with the "meal".

BSN: Yeah, short.

Two things: One, I'm thinking about changing the Pieces of 10 mode to a Team Deathmatch. The amount of players are split in half, with the maximum of 5v5. Who gets the prize, I don't know. Which is why I'll ask: how should the prize get implemented if TDM becomes a thing?

Two: I'm thinking about hosting polls to see what the next intermission should be.

Ruins of Rwanda, Africa
Night, Cloudy, 7/20/2016

As the tension in the room builds and heats up, the numerous artifacts glowing different colors in the wake of the power in the area, Beirus leans against the table, bending over the wood to stare into BiggerFish's eyes. "You can trust that I'll word my wish well. I have no more desire to be a puppet on their strings than you do. If it would help, forfeiting would be like spitting in their face, Fish. I doubt they would like it. Jess probably wouldn't be happy about it either, though he is as much a pawn in this as you or I. Maybe a knight or bishop.", he says, flattering me.". Tapping her foot against the ground, Fish looks up with a look of thought, before saying, "I very well hope so. Let's get it over with, then. Abigail, I'll be back shortly. I hope.", with resignation in her voice. Beirus raises an eyebrow, and informs her, "I'm fairly certain you'll need to verbalize your forfeiture out loud. Theren and Lucas can serve as witnesses if necessary, if that wouldn't impose on them too much.", with Theren then saying, "It wouldn't.", and Lucas following with, "Unless you want it to impose. Yet, I am very busy.". Fish looks up in a little bit of surprise and says, "Oh, I can actually forfeit? Okay, but can you give me my arms back first?", with Beirus's response of, "I can do that after. The powers I have at the moment are almost solely for destruction. A mistake on my part could kill you, and while I would still win that way, it would stain my honor to do so when I have offered you a safer way out.", with a sip of whiskey through his helmet to finish off. Theren then cuts in with, "There's no need. Once you have lost, we can submit your soul into your normal body, which we have stored in a tank back in Osaka.". With that in mind, Fish sighs and says, "Then I concede.".

At that moment, a bright purple flash envelops the room, as Jess and Jaws emerge. A simple sigh and a, "God, I love teleportation spells.", and Jess makes his way to Fish. "Wow, with this situation, I'm surprised a suicide dive with a Tsar Bomba wasn't your first choice. Poor Brittania. Still, you did it.", said Jess as the sound of Jaw's fingers snapping caused her and Theren to vanish out of view. A familiar slow-down and darkness ensued, and Jaws stepped forward, only for the voice of the Operator to cut through, as his form emerges through the black and the eyes quickly appearing. "Allow us to witness this personally.". Jaw's simple reply of "O-kay, then. What's your wish?" was enough to give the response.

BSN: So, first of all: Fish, I'm pretty sure you're waitlisting, so I don't need to ask. I also have a wiki in mind for ya, too.

Second, today is my birthday. Meaning I won't update jack. I will do the epilogue, but that's minor compared to a full turn.

Finally, instead of a traditional lore intermission, I have a special event planned for the 14th that I'm excited about. I'm not sure if I need to keep it hush-hush or not, but I hope you enjoy it regardless.

Beirus looks over at the Operator. "I can't say I'm surprised you decided to show up. You must be curious as to how I would try to get myself out of your little game." Beirus remarks after turning back to Jaws. "My wish is simple enough. I wish to keep my powers and abilities for so long as even the last scrap of this universe remains, no matter where or when I am, without the possibility of them being taken away through future wishes or the actions of any being, entity, object, or other miscellaneous part of existence."

Epilogue I: An Unexpected Factor

The quickest response from Beirus sang out in an almost smug tone, saying, "I can't say I'm surprised you decided to show up. You must be curious as to how I would try to get myself out of your little game.", which didn't even seem to have an effect on the being. With a tone of pleasing, he closes his eyes and says, "My wish is simple enough. I wish to keep my powers and abilities for so long as even the last scrap of this universe remains, no matter where or when I am, without the possibility of them being taken away through future wishes or the actions of any being, entity, object, or other miscellaneous part of existence."

...*SNAP*

A snapping sound and a scream causes Beirus's eyes to open, revealing the Operator, their hand on Logan's forearm, with the mage's elbow popped back, fractured with force. Turning their head at Beirus, the Operator's eyes appear glazed over in a sea of purple as they say, "You honestly think we'll let you have that? We gave Logan his power, we can take his life just as easily. Let's break down the reason why you cannot have that: it's pointless. This world will burn sooner then you think it will. The Maw will spread faster than you assume it shall. So long as the search for Herzog ends in us acquiring his journal, it will take only months, maybe a year, to destroy this world. Does that mean we should allow it? Give you a taste of power? Perhaps...if you give a reason to allow it."

((Wait, the special event's on the 12th. I will do an intermission or two on the 14th, though. Because I'm nice. Also...maybe. I don't know. Sounds cool. Also, thanks!))

"If it's so pointless, why would you bother trying to stop me from getting it? Are you scared? If it really made no difference, then you should allow it for the enjoyment you would probably get when I lose the powers."

Chapter III: The Test Subjects
Epilogue II: An Expected Result

Despite the screaming Logan Sawyer at his feet, Beirus smiles under his helmet as he says, "If it's so pointless, why would you bother trying to stop me from getting it? Are you scared? If it really made no difference, then you should allow it for the enjoyment you would probably get when I lose the powers.", crossing his arms, before uncrossing them as the Operator smiles and pops the socket back into place. "Scared? Perhaps. We are human souls, after all. Wrapped up in a Rift and a corpse. We did say we would stop becoming this caricature of evil. But even if we are scared, we will enjoy this. You only had to give us a reason, and you did. Logan, give the man, the monster, the Disgraced Alchemist...give him what he wants.". Scared, Logan rises up and crushes the Wish spell in his hands, letting Beirus keep the powers he has been given. As the darkness and Operator disappear, Jess walks over to Jaws and innocently says, "So...what's with the face?"

Meanwhile

With a simple knock on the train car door holding the Machine Cell, everyone scrambles with Alexis opening it to find BiggerFish, pink clone fluid still dripping from his hair and fingers. Alexis laughs and says, "What, did it rain while you were gone?". BiggerFish opens his mouth to say something, only to feel a hand gripping his forearm. Turning his head, he sees Abigail with a big smile on her face as she nervously says, "It's good to s-see you.". Standing up with a light blush on her cheeks, she says, "I picked up three romantic comedies I've never heard of before, a copy of Die Hard, and some other stuff I found in a box, which seemed to be tons of pro wrestling and TV show DVDs. What, u-uh, do you want to watch?

Meanwhile

With a sudden Rift opened up, Beirus walks towards it and looks inside of it's intimidating red and black.

Is that a cue to make a sheet in Earth IV: Of Predators and Prey? I don't know. If you still want to, I'll link to it's OOC.

I got a couple of things to do before I go. Use my alchemy and Nether Manipulation to turn my soccer ball into a viable weapon. Also use them to upgrade my bobsled to a flying, amphibious, submersible deathsled. And use them to upgrade my dust blades/bow. I forsee plenty of violence, and I want to be well equipped to enact such violence in many different ways.

Roleplaying Segment:

After Abigail finishes listing off the selections of films and good TV (and Total Nonstop Action wrestling, which can only be qualified as such from May 17th, 2016 onward), she hears a laugh come from the freshly restored BiggerFish before she suddenly reaches out and hugs her. As she hugs back, her stuttering growing the closer she gets, Fish says, "Pffha, it's good to see you too Abigail.". With that, the two head to the area built up to play the features...

As the red and black glow envelops the sand outside of the building that Theren resides in, or resided in, the screams of the souls in the Nether and the Punished in Hell providing a disturbing echo through the dystopian silence of the ruins of Rwanda's capital that Beirus helped create. As a last minute usage of his power, he attempts to synergize the destructive Nether with the reconstructive Alchemy. [7] He manages to do, using Nether to destroy and Alchemy to recreate as a new form of Alchemy, befitting of the Disgraced Alchemist. First, he brings out his soccer ball, and attempts to use Alchemy and Nether to change it into a viable weapon. [5+2+2] After using his powers, the ball emerges with spikes coming out of every black spot, turning the soccer ball into a death-dealing weapon. Next, he attempts to use the reality bending darkness of Nether Manipulation in conjunction with Alchemy to turn his bobsled into a much better version. [3+2+2] He manages to make it fly using the Nether energy to propel it, though his desire for a submersible and amphibious sled haven't been reached unless he tries again. Still, with the spikes in front, it'll make use as a good death dealer. Finally, he tries to upgrade the dual bow and blades from RWBY, to turn them into better weapons. [1+2+2] Other then simply making them more accurate [+1 to attacks], he doesn't do much. With that said, he flings himself forward, and disappears...

Therapy in Emotion
The Waiting Room, Southern Isles Clinic in Osaka, Japan
Early Morning, Cloudy, 4/15/2013

"Name?", the lady at the desk said, her fingers tapping the keyboard of the computer in front of her in a pattern possibly meant to distract her as she waited. As the man and older woman next to him stood still for the longest time, the man spoke, his hands going into the pockets of his suit as his words hit a somber note, "Je-...James Warner. I have an appointment with Dr. Tatsuki for therapeutic care?". The woman's face broke into a focused glare, but then lit up as she said, "Yep! He's seeing someone right now, though. Running a bit late with him, you know how it is. Just take a seat somewhere and we'll see you as soon as we can.". Jess nods, and takes the woman's hand as he leads her to a random seat. Sitting her down, he grabs a seat himself, where the first turn of his head leads him to a young woman. With a black jacket and a dark brown tank top with dark brown pants, it doesn't take long for Jess to notice bags under her eyes and a subtle shaking as her expression denotes stress. Jess clears his throat, causing the girl to look at him with wide eyes as her body language shows him shock. "Hey there.", he quietly says, with the girl not responding at first. She does stutter out a "H-Hey." after a minute or two, as she turns back to him. Jess, in a polite tone, says, "So, what's up?", only for the girl to say, "Bad stuff.". She then says, after having turned back to him, and says, "W-What are you in, for?", to which Jess responds with, "Been hearing voices in my head and they...", but stops. Clasping suddenly shaking hands together, he says, "They...They're ruining my life.". Trying to change the subject, he asks, "What are you doing here?". The girl says, "Drug and alcohol abuse. or that's what my stupid brother keeps saying. I shouldn't be here. Literally, I live in Quebec! He goes to school here in Japan, and he says the doctors here can get me something so I can start getting clean, but I-...", though her words catch in her throat. Jess looks down, and says, "Sorry to hear that...I'm James, but I go by Jess nowadays.", as he holds out his hand. The girl cautiously grabs it and shakes his hand with, "V-Veronica. S-sorry, but Logan's been hitting me over the head with "Go get help, sis!" and all that.". Jess looks at her and says, "Logan, huh? Like, Logan Sawyer?", and gets a nod in response. Jess smiles and says, "Holy crap, I went to college with him! Always called him Jaws, though. Instead of studying, he would just watch Steven Spielberg films.", and Veronica says, "Sounds like my brother.". Soon, though, an announcement played that got James stood up, and he goes into the office, but then calls back with, "Hey, if both of our appointments go well, maybe we can get some drinks down the street?", and in response, is a nod and a thumbs up.

Around Midnight, Clear Sky, 7/22/2016

"And then we had a nice, romantic night, and then we skyped, and you came over for a week, stood me up because you were on vacation, then all you did was Skype often enough that I only missed you, not hated you. What's your point, babe?"

At the sarcastic voice of his girlfriend, who was helping herself to a small glass of brandy, Jess merely smiled as she continued, "Is it because I'm still drinking? Because, man, I am not drinking as much as I was. It's not that bad.". Jess walked over to Veronica, who was in a navy blue evening gown, and kissed her on the cheek before saying, "Nah. Just thinking back to it. Those freaks are going to be doing the thing they do tomorrow evening, so...", to which Veronica says, "So...what?". Jess regains his thoughts and says, "How about we have a nice, proper date tomorrow morning? Grab a bit to eat for lunch, go on a walk, stuff like that?". Veronica chuckles a little and says, "Sounds like a plan.". And all Jess says is, "Great. I love you.". Veronica takes a drink from her glass and smiles, saying, "Love you, too, James."

Author's Notes (shut up): 1st: I looked it up and I couldn't find jack on therapy in Osaka. Sue me.

2nd: I hope I did well! I like to think I'm improving as a writer, but I also think my dialogue gets too stiff. Sorry.

3rd: I had a great last few days. Had a good birthday, me and my mom watched Volume 4 of RWBY (which we not only both thought was the best volume yet, but got my mom back into the show after I hit her over the head with an important character's death. Whoopsies.) Played Shadow the Hedgehog on X-BOX a lot, and it's a pretty good game. All in all, I'm in the perfect mindset to do Forum Games. Next turn starts tomorrow, I'll PM everyone playing with the 0th Round.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Match III: Elimination
Round 0: Our Wayward Son
W.I.P Towers, Osaka, Japan
Around 6:30 AM, Clear Sky, 7/23/2016

The sound of tapping fills the air in the office, each tap creating an improvised beat that projects boredom to anyone in earshot, Logan Sawyer adopts a face of thought as he holds his other hand behind his back. With an eyebrow raised, he thinks to himself, "Where are they?", as the tapping ceases and he walks towards the window. Right when his hand slips into his pocket to grab his tie, the sound of the elevator's ping turns his head back towards the entrance. The doors open, revealing Jess and Veronica in the center, with Veronica fixing her hair and Jess adjusting his tie. "Sorry we're late, car trouble. Well, it was something involving a car.", Jess says, leading to Logan saying, "If it's something that I, as Vi's brother, need to bleach my brain to forget, I don't want to hear it. Do you have it?". Veronica nods as a file with Jess's hand gripping it enters his vision. "Crazy bastard Theren Norfolk gave it to me when we walked in. He was busy, but he told us what he could.", Jess says, as he walks over to his office's desk and lays the file down. Gesturing to Veronica, she nods and says, "Always heard his name as Herzog. According to Theren, though, he used to be Hans Geist des Todes. A German member of the Cult of Jericho, he was involved in quite a few scandals in his civilian identity, but he was fanatical.", with Jess following up with, "But something happened, not even Theren knows what. When Astrid's aging sight looked at him, he was covered in CoJ blood, running away with the journal containing the spell to bring the Maw onto Earth. He went AWOL, hid himself with some goons and said goodbye to the world.". Logan nods, his eyes glazed over in thought as he says, "Got a report from your guys. We only have eight ready.", though Jess says, "Well, when more pop out, we have more to help with the plan. He's hiding out...here.".

Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Morning, Clear Sky, 7/23/2016

As eyes open up, their vision fades in as they see a mansion, still inconspicuous through it's appearance, sitting near the research station. Rather than a Helicopter, a single phrase, an order, repeats in the minds of the eight champions: "KillHerzog."

I felt...odd, it wasn't just the fact that I was now suddenly a woman, or the fact that this odd voice was in my head, nor the powers that I had been given. It was....something else, but I couldn't put my finger on just what it was. I'd get up, and look at what I had, in terms of weapons I had been given some club thing and a weapon from a character in Rwby, I also saw there where some soldiers who seemed like they where of old ancient Korean origin, and the first thing I thought upon seeing them was Why couldn't it be a few samurai instead? Still, I had a few powers as well, and I would obviously have to use them sooner rather then later. Naturally, knowing what I had to do to get that wish, I'd motion to my soldiers to follow and run over to scout out the exterior of the manor in front of me.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Match III: Elimination
Round I: Shame That He Lost His Head
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Morning, Clear Sky, 7/23/2016

The first person to wake up is the soccer gear clad-NRDL, who rises to his feet while cracking his knuckles. Taking his first step forward, he is immediately set upon by his past memories of the last three competitions, which only serve to fuel his return to the call of duty. On the way over to the mansion, he looks around for any heavy branches, wanting a melee option in case he fights back. [2] For whatever reason, however, no branches are near the manor, likely swept up in a bid for cleanliness. He makes it to the ornate and intricate wood door, aged as though his target were in here for some time.

Waking up in the same field as the others, the blur drains from Pirate Joe's eyes to reveal a mansion, with her eyes soon dulling over into a blue tone as the memories flood back from the past events, including her recent death by ethereal crab lobotomy. I just typed that. Wow. As she brushes off her newfound femininity, she looks behind her to find a squad of three Korean soldiers, wielding swords and old armor, who bow towards Joe. She shakes her head and thinks to herself, "Why couldn't they be Samurai? Eh, not bad.", before ordering them to scout the exterior of the manor. They nod and provide a perimeter, which they use to look into the place. [9] Peering into a window, one reports, "Mistress Joanna! I see someone. They're sitting down at a table, eating something!". Nodding, Joe walks forward towards the manor.

The first thought that runs through the mind of BiggerFish, spoken out loud as though hearing his own voice enunciate it would aid in his thoughts, was "Drat and botheration.". Though, any further speech was halted as a the familiar buzz of his earpiece picking up a transmission. With a finger pressed to it, the familiar stutter hits his ear as Abigail says, "Y-You okay? Remember, we're here for you if you need advice, and Thornhill's here for you if you need help. J-Just remember that.".

Awaken, friend.


With it's readout unlocked, a blue blood like substance flowing through it's chassis providing nanomachines to it's CPU, Person rises up, it's vision being green with a Heads Up Display scanning the nearby surroundings. Scanning itself, it finds that it appears as a dark blue humanoid robot with glowing green eyes, wearing what appears to be political attire, in the form of a blue suit with a blue tie, along with it's head appearing skull-like. With that information, it scans it's weapons as it approaches the mansion.

Spider Sword

Timeline: Prime-2 (The Sands of Time)

Twin Swords

Waking up for the first time in the competition, his body laying in the shopping cart with his feet dangling out of the cart, Fallacy of Urist picks his head up to the manor and grins. Pushing himself forward, the cart rolls towards the manor as Fallacy of Urist brandishes his two bats and says, "Well then. Let's get to it.". [Distance Check: 2] Unfortunately, momentum by just leaning forward can only get you so far on nearly flat, grassy ground, so he only makes it up to the manor's front yard.

As her vision brightens up, color returning to the world around her as luscious greens and browns fill the sky and the aroma of decaying wood fills the air around her, Hawk stands up and for a second, the weight of her memories makes her lean forward. In just a second, however, a loud cackling startles those unawares as Hawk freaks out in front of them, her insane laughter setting everyone on edge as she turns to her Silver Knight companion, and merely waves as they both stalk towards the mansion.

"Wait!", a voice suddenly calls out, letting everyone else turn to see her. A new combatant, OceanSoul, walks towards everyone as she keeps saying, "It'll be better if we stick together. Less of a chance of getting killed."

Finally, a large scaled man walks towards the mansion, snarling and growling as he checks the quality of his teeth and claws, finding them quite sharp, as he walks in front of the door and yells out, "We shall hunt down this man and tear him apart!". He then throws a punch forward, [10] and blows the door apart, showing the interior of the manor. It is, indeed, quite old. Paint is peeling off the walls and there is dust and cobwebs everywhere. The manor is set up so that there is a door on both the left and right, with a stairway leading up to two more doors and a hallway. Plus, an extra door to the right of the stairs, to the wall connecting the other door to the stairs. Thanks to Joe's Korean soldier, they know that someone, who may or may not be Herzog, is in the left door. Before they can check, however, a voice seems to hit them, not through any sort of intercom, but as though it were telepathic, as the echo of the voice wears thin in their minds. The voice is of an average pitch, though with a frantic tone, a fast manner of speech, and a German accent. "Guten tag, travelers! I see you have infiltrated my domicile, which is cause for a quite a bit of alarm, one would say. Please, I must insist. Come sit down and enjoy some food. You seem tense, and hungry. Besides, you won't have to l-listen to the he is man telling you what you must do. That's s-the Nine s-s...come, enjoy the food!"

BSN: Welp, I guess that's a good first impression. I hope you guys have enjoyed this round, since it was mostly set up.
Also, Person, it was not completely random. First article denotes character gender, and since you had a digital article, might as well have made an Earth IV H.I.

It was odd as memory's fell back into my mind, I frowned and sighed from them, knowing that I had failed and everything I had done earlier was nothing. I was a clone now, wasn't I? A copy of the original. I still had the hope that I might be able to win this and get my wish, though...It bothered me... however, I would try not to think about it to much and go through the left door with my guards in tow, I wasn't going to kill the man, I honestly didn't want to, which is Ironic considering how unlike last time I killed at least three people, but I wasn't going to let the others win either. I was in a conundrum, but I was going to talk to the guy eating first at the very least. I would sit down at the table looking at the man "I take it you are mr Herzog, or at least someone who works for him." I would motion for my guards to stand near the exit, on guard just in case something happened.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Match III: Elimination
Round II: Damaged
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Morning, Clear Sky, 7/23/2016

With eyes narrowed in deep concentration, his hands wringed together as focus beckons his mind, BiggerFish's fingers snap as an idea draws itself closer. "...I have a plan.  You know how you can medically induce death? And then fix it? Get me whatsit and whatsit. Well I probably already have whatsit and whatsit somewhere if Thornhill is as smart as ever...Herzog! You getting this?", he says, hoping that Herzog can hear him. [7] "Ja, sounds good! About as good as being a sitting duck for the machine sounds like! I'm all for it if the 223 allows it." BiggerFish catches that, the changes to the tone of voice, which sound even more frantic, like a Hollywood crazy person act. Fish disregards this, being the first to open the door to the left. When he opens it, he sees a man, no, the man. White hair neatly combed, with a few ends sticking up here and there. Wrinkles and scars adorn his face and hands, indicative of his age, as his green eyes show a lifetime of misery. He is shaking quite a bit, a grin popping up now and again as fear comes and goes through his features. He is wearing a popped open suit, no tie to be seen on his person. [1] Fish sees or hears nothing, save for the shaking, that could be indicative of anything, and thus he calmly sits down, Herzog only acknowledging his presence with an unsteady glare.

With the door open, OceanSoul need not ask if Herzog can hear her symphony as she pulls out her keyboard and begins playing a remixed "Truth by Alexander", each note played in a beautiful melody. [4+2 (Experimental Music)] Though, due to...newfound practice, she botches some, it seems to work as Fish and anyone peering into the room can see Herzog suddenly staring off into space, as though his thoughts were now clear. OceanSoul calmly says, "So..you DON'T want to kill any of us?", hoping to get a clear yes or no. What truly happens is that Herzog's left eye begins a nervous, uncomfortable twitch as his hands begin shaking again. Then, a hiss, as though in pain, leaves his lips as he suddenly yells out "TRAITORS!", before slamming a quite large kitchen knife into the table, shaking it. He begins babbling incoherently [8] which everyone can hear. "The book! The book, here to kill me, here to killthem. The light, I see them, 223 take sthem. The Nine sha ll free the souls left behind, calling. Book tore me, is hall fx them. Please th masters I seek to kill. I shall save this world, I sahw doom this wo-", before suddenly stopping, turning his head towards the door as he hisses out, "I-I mean, yes, but I o-only...", before lowering his head and sniffling.

Sensing the pain of the poor man, with whom the diagnosis is clear insanity from some external force, Person walks into the room, the man's eyes widening as he sees the android enter, and sits down. It intones, "Sorry about some of my companions. They can be a bit hasty at times. This is a nice place you have here mister...", hoping to get his name. A quiet and nervous, "H-Herzog...please, help me.", is all that's needed.

Shuffling away from the door, the whiskey bottle still filled with booze as it turns upside down to act as a club, NRDL tries to sneak in to the room [8] and, except for his companions, remains undetected, as he slips behind Herzog, waiting for the right time.

Frowning, with her arms crossed in thought, PirateJoe muses to herself, "So...I'm a clone? I guess I'm not opposed, but...", before shaking her head and gesturing in the Korean soldiers, who stand watch by the door. Entering the room, PirateJoe sits down and says, "I take it you are Mr. Herzog, or at least someone who works for him.", with a simple "J-Ja."

Scowling in anger, his teeth bare and sharp as though looking at spiked gauntlets, DolosusDoleus bellows out, "Why should I trust that there is nothing in the food, that you don't wish to kill us? No. Even though I don't trust my masters, I trust you less.", before he walks towards another door, to check for anything else to kill, before entering the main course. Picking the door situated by the right door, he opens it to find a stairway leading down into a basement. Walking down it, his weight destroying each step, he enters the basement to find something...odd, which is the word that would describe the room. It appears to be a morgue, a row of corpse preserving tanks similar to such a place lining the room. Some are open, displaying gunshot wounds on some of the bodies. Within the center of the room, dangling by a noose, is another corpse, this time a man in a suit with a double barreled shotgun on his back, as his eyes remain open, revealing the right eye to be bloody, almost entirely covered in red.

"...Bother.", Fallacy of Urist says, as he tries to get his cart moving again. [10] Suddenly, without warning, it launches itself into the manor, flinging him up the stairs.

With a sadistic, yet excitable grin, and clenched hands, Hawk says, "Not interested.", before rushing into the kitchen and leaping at Herzog. [4 v 10] Suddenly, Herzog disappears in a burst of smoke and flame, causing Hawk to hit the chair and fall to the ground. Before she can ask what the big deal is, she suddenly sees a revolver placed up to her skull. [2 v 3] Hawk narrowly dodges Herzog's bullet as he disappears again.

Appearing at the top of the stairs, Fallacy of Urist viewing this from upside down, Herzog suddenly appears, the gun in one hand and a leatherbound book pressed to his chest in the other, as he bellows out, his eyes turning yellow at certain points, "I knew it! All of you want to kill me! Steal this book that has given me so much! It saved me. It gave me power! I don't care why you sycophants are here. Save the world? Destroy it! It's too late! Shame what happens when a species that kills itself just fine wants to end other lives! No more! I am not lying down and bowing to the whim of The Triad! When I kill all of you, I'll kill the Operator. Jericho. Warner. Those brothers and sisters. ASTRID! I will save this world...by burning it myself!". Flipping the book open, he says an non-human phrase, the speaking in tongues leaving everyone unnerved, as hands begin bursting out of the ground. Decaying flesh pops out of the floorboards as purple eyed Zombies emerge, growling and screaming, as Herzog disappears again.

BSN: ...Awesome.

Did I do well with this? I mean, looking back, it doesn't seem too sudden or stilted, but unlike the last few times, I want to know from the players/readers if the chapter was up to scratch.

Use biology to make sure that the noose-corpse is, in fact, dead and not in some state of undeath. If it is actually dead, take the shotgun. If not, tear it into tiny pieces before taking the shotgun.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Match III: Elimination
Round III:
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Morning, Clear Sky, 7/23/2016

Chasm-Circle of Dust (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzvIXaV1Lrk)

As the growls surrounding them grow in volume, the Zombies' gnashing teeth and bared, claw-like nails aimed towards the warriors, OceanSoul peers down to his keyboard and snaps his fingers. Pointing to the H.I close by, who is backing up away from some of the approaching former corpses, he says, "Person! Yes, you, the robot with the guitar and banjo. If we work together, I can mix Stairway to Heaven into bringing these undead back to the grave! Wanna help?", ready and willing to exact his plan. Person turns to him and chirps, "I'm down for that!", before both raise their instruments [2+2+2 (Person's Aid] and play a remixed Stairway to Heaven, quite the beautiful composition, if I might say, which creates an Aether Rift. As the white and gold emanates a glow of might, some, though not all, of the Zombies get sucked in to the space-time tear. One of the remaining ones shambles towards Person [6 v 1], only to get socked in it's now broken jaw by Person, who swings his guitar wildly.

With a snarl and the grinding of teeth, Dolosus Doleus cracks his knuckles and, using his skill in biology, attempts to figure out if the corpse is actually a corpse or is still among the living. [7+2] Dolosus can tell, from it's genuine breath to the flinching of the muscles, is that the body is neither dead nor undead, he's alive. There is a living man hanging in front of him. Baring claws, Dolosus attempts to tear the corpse apart for his shotgun [8 v 3] and cuts down the body before beginning to slice into him. As blood flies from the body, he notices the man is still moving [8 v 8] before he socks the alligator-human hybrid in the face, doing no damage. Standing up, Dolosus did quite a bit of damage, with hanging intestines and lots of blood pouring out, staining the ground below him. His left hand rises up to shake, his eyes showing soft fear. As Dolosus charges to finish the job, the man holds his arm out [5 v 1] as Dolosus's vision suddenly goes black and white, tripping over his feet. When rising, he sees the morgue now in disarray, improperly colored fire and vines surrounding the torn-about area, with several pods open to reveal mutilated bodies. When he stands up [4 v 3], he gets a big smack from the butt of the double-barreled shotgun, which makes him wince before opening his eyes to reveal the morgue, perfectly fine and in color. Aside from the man disappearing, Dolosus sees nothing, though when looking down, he sees a large pistol, the IMI Desert Eagle, with some ammo and a note pinned to it: "No one's been able to hurt me that bad. Ask yourself as you retrieve this gun: is your reality the real one, or is mine real? -G"

With a groan and a hand over his battle rod (...Um, moving on.), BiggerFish looks around for any sign of where Herzog is [1], but finds not only no luck, but his standing there and looking allows a Zombie to charge towards him [7 v 5] and smack him across the face, sending him sprawling to the floor. Fish pulls out and fires the battle rod [4 v 6], but misses due to unsteady aim. Getting up, he attempts to avoid more incidents [9] and successfully launches himself into a cupboard, closing the door to think. As he does so, the voice of Abigail calls out to him. "Fish? Is everything alright, what's happening?"

As the Zombies swarm the area, only around ten of them remaining from the Rift and broken jaw, Fallacy of Urist taps his feet against the ground, his dissatisfaction showing in his face, before he bellows out to anyone who can hear, including (hopefully) Herzog, "For the record, I might've considered talking to you if you hadn't summoned an army of the living dead to kill us, and by extension, me...good grief.". Pulling out his bats, two Zombies charge up the stairs [4 v 3, 1 v 6] with Fallacy smacking one down, though otherwise fine. The other flails around enough that Fallacy trips, his feet slipping as he falls down the stairs [Medical: 7], scratching him up as he lands on the ground.

As the growls and cries of the undead fill the air, insatiable hunger apparent on their twisted and rotting faces, the sudden cry of "Oh for Kanako's sake!", twists them towards PirateJoe as she pulls StormFlower out of her sleeves. Motioning to her guards to protect her, she muses "Remind me to defenestrate the one who caused Herzog to go stark raving mad.", to which all three nod, before she fires into the crowd. [5 v 2] With two shots, she blasts one Zombie down. Only nine still shamble.

Exasperation is apparent in the eyes of NRDL, narrowed in annoyance as swift hands grab the SBL (Spiked Ball Launcher) and aim it towards the Zombies. "Damn it, knew it wasn't gonna be this simple...We gotta get the book away from him somehow.", he says, before launching two balls towards them. [3 v 10, 10 v 9] One misses a charging Zed, while another grazes a Zombie who is now flung into the kitchen. The Zed runs [1 v 10] straight into another spiked ball which causes it's head to gorily explode. Running towards the door on the right, he kicks it open to reveal a bathroom, [5] the distinct glow of a Chaos Emerald emerging from the toilet. The bathroom is a beautiful, cool blue that calms the nerves right down.
Zeds Left: 8

Dashing up the stairs [8 v 4] with a now re-dead Zombie falling away from her, Hawk looks down the hall at the tip of the stairs, revealing four more doors: two on the left, one on the right, and one dead center. Picking a random one, the one on the right to be specific, Hawk opens it to find a bedroom, with a grand master bed and a large TV on the wall. [8] From the faint waft of some unknown substance, Hawk has a hunch that Herzog is in this room...but where?
Zeds Left: 7

Joe's Korean soldiers charge towards the Zombies, ancient swords being sent towards them. [8 v 4, 3 v 5, 4 v 3] One soldier manages a running slice, lopping one's head off as his companion misses the mark, skidding to a halt. The third warrior slashes one open, but due to their nature as Zombies, does nothing to it.
Zeds Left: 6

In retaliation, the slashed Zombie charges towards the Soldier [8 v 8], but trips and rolls around on the ground.

BSN: Quite a bit of mystery, might lead up to a twist, you see! Nothing's set in stone, and I cannot tell a lie. But some things are pre-ordained, and there are good reasons why.

But enough rhyming. Sheets.

I have an idea. When all the zombies in the room are dead, place the Item Storage chest down in a good position, and play the 'something happened in the dungeon' jingle from TLOZ. As someone's opening it, continuously play the rising sets of four notes that precede the 'you got an item' jingle, and when someone gets the item and (hopefully) raises it above their head, play the 'you got an item' jingle. If this works, we'll have a useful item, whether it's a small key, bombs, a key item, or so on. MAYBE a piece of heart or all-purpose bottle or something.

You can be the one who opens the chest. Remember to hold it above your head, spinning slowly mid-air, as you look up, and to lean into the chest before you pull out the item.

The Hiztrata Conduit, The Void
Dark, Cloudy, 7/23/2016

As a Rift opens up in the Void, it's deep purple color bearing down demented light into the eyes of the contestants, two figures pop out and into the snow and dark ash covering the landscape. Both Zombies, one with blue eyes and one with green eyes, with digital nametag bracelets attached to their wrists, the now undead S34N1C and CrazyAbe stand up to see the new realm. A deep blue sky covers a snow covered forest, with a large purple Rift in space-time floating through the air, with screams emerging from it. Coming up from behind, the two turn to see another Zombie, his eyes red with half his body turned into cybernetics. Fire courses and burns through his body, as his jaw moves to create speech, his voice raspy and choked. "Thought the Chronomancers said something about you. I'm Pyrotech, Voidric Lord of Undead Fire. According to them, and that Realm Hopper who gave me your instructions, you are tasked with liberating some souls from the Maw up there. I was also told to warn you to be careful. Void's not a nice place, and it's especially not a nice time for a Kurse.". Walking off with fire under his feet, they look up with narrowed eyes and clenched fists as a voice rings out...

Both S34N1C and crazyabe, adjusting to their new, decaying bodies, stumble towards the objective to scope it out, though different scopes. S34N1C looks to the Maw, checking to see exactly what it is. [1] The sheer brilliance of the light, plus the horror of thousands, if not millions of dead souls screaming and crying as though reliving their last moments, cause S34N1C to turn away with his eyes closed. Crazyabe, on the other hand, checks the place for threats. [6] He spots three different kinds of potential detriments: Translucent, blue ghosts that appear passive to his eyes. Creatures made of green, blue, and purple plasma of various shapes and sizes [6] that he intuitively thinks are called the Androzi. Finally, a woman, not undead, but human, drinking tea as she watches the Maw with a fond smile. "Madam Vinchinzi. Voidric Lord. Don't mess with her.", Pyrotech's gravelly voice growls out behind him as he looks on.

With an undead stumble in his step, his flesh feeling like it's melting as it burns in his gaze, crazyabe does a sprinting gait towards the Maw and digs his hand in. [10/3+10 (Crit)] Immediately, he feels ten of something swarming in his grasp. Pulling them out, he finds ten small spheres, each one either crying, saying a somber thank you, or screaming to put back in. Collecting them, he turns around to find three Androzi turned to face him, their teeth bare and visible.

Feeling an odd sense of nostalgia from seeing the creatures surrounding his enemy, he takes the opportunity to dash forward and claim some souls for himself. [5/3] He manages a loose grasp on three souls, but turns to see a girl, the "Madam Vinchinzi." An Asian woman, appearing young and happy, is wearing a dark blue dress with sandals and a navy blue hat, a flower in it's band. "Ni-hao! How are you?"

The Androzi leap towards crazyabe [2 v 1, 9 v 6, 8 v 10]. One scratches his arm, while another slides it's claws through his flesh. The third misses a charge, but lands on the ground with grace.

Earth IV Facts: Time in the Void is different then on Earth. Time in the Void is ten years more then Earth's time. This means, for example, 2006 was 2016 in the Void, and 1833 was 1843.

Forum Runners 2: Chapter One
Round III: Parasites of a Blighted Future
The Hiztrata Conduit, The Void
Dark, Cloudy, 7/23/2026

With widened eyes and the click of a tongue, as though resigning himself to the fact of the matter that three parasites are bearing down on him, crazyabe takes one last look at the Maw before running for his (currently un)life. [1] Tripping under his own feet, he not only fails to run, but the impact of his body smacking against the snow causes one soul out of his thirteen to come loose, flying back into it's malevolence. To make matters worse, all of the Androzi attack at that moment. [5 v 6, 5 v 6, 8 v 8] While all three lunge, crazyabe spins through the air landing back on his feet as all three crash into the snowbank.

With a claw embedded in the Maw [8/6] and six souls added to his three, he turns to the Madam and says, "I've been better. I was sent here on a rescue mission. You know anything about that?". Madam Vinchinzi ponders this, before saying, "Hmm, no? I mean, Pyrotech was raving about him being a Chronomancer's handler, but me, Scarlet, and the Operator just assumed he was getting along with his rotting brain. I guess the mission is to rescue souls? Neat. I guess I should stop you, given that the Operator is a close friend and all, but I doubt two Zombies can free every single soul in there. Leave a dent? Yeah. Destroy it? Probably not."

Earth IV Facts: There are always, exactly, one thousand Voidric Lords, governed by whichever Lord controls the territory known as the Kalastris Ruins. Five of these lords are The Operator (and the Maw), the Scarlet Queen, Madam Vinchinzi, Pyrotech, and Kalxolik the Dracolich (the current Kalastris Ruins Lord).

Forum Runners 2: Chapter One
Round IV: Undead Trickery
The Hiztrata Conduit, The Void
Dark, Cloudy, 7/23/2026

With a steady gaze leveled at the Androzi as though staring at the monster plaguing his nightmares, crazyabe dashes around with his feet, indents in the snow forming under his feet, as the Andorzi rush towards him. [4 v 4] As he ducks under another claw-charge, the Androzi slam into eachother, letting crazyabe grab more souls. [9/5] Adding five more souls to his twelve, letting seventeen humans roam around his bag, he turns to see them back away, with gnashing teeth.

Bowing to Madam Vinchinzi out of politeness, the girl bowing back with a smile on her face, S34N1C says, "Well then, I guess I'll take my leave. Thanks for not ratting me out.". With a hearty "Don't mention it!", it's back to work. [10/10+10 (Crit)] With a whopping twenty souls in his grasp as he pulls away, the Soul-Holder bag grows fuller and fuller as the match progresses.

Current Souls: S34N1C: 29
crazyabe: 17

Earth IV Facts: The Androzi first appeared in the forum game Shadow Lords, based upon the Killer Instinct (2013) mode of the same name. The Androzi are a parasite that consume universes for nourishment.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Round IV: Suffer With Me
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden
 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Morning, Clear Sky, 7/23/2016

Chasm-Circle of Dust (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzvIXaV1Lrk)

As the green glow emanating from the toilet burns bright with power, twinging every nerve in the body of the man near it, NRDL walks towards it and peers in, spotting the green Chaos Emerald in the middle of the bowl. NRDL grabs it, his hands wrapping around the green gem, as he suddenly feels immense power. His veins appear visible as they pop out, his fingers clench around it, as his eyes now glow green.
Ability Gain: Chaos Control: Can slow down time to do two actions, at the cost of a stun the next turn.
Chaos Blast: An AoE explosion of Chaos Energy


As the cramped and claustrophobic feel of the closet closes in around him, the wood keeping him enclosed as the growls of the remaining undead draw both farther and closer, BiggerFish responds to the voice in his ear with "Herzog zombie'd at us. Am currently hiding in...", while turning his head around to see if he can find anything created by Thornhill. [2] Sadly, nothing in there appears planted to aid him, the cupboard only containing copious amounts of alcohol, and random writings on the inside of the door reading, "I am that I am. Is it possible to forget?". Alexis rings in, saying "Want me to go over there? I can help, though without the sanctity of my current location, I might be just as mortal as you."

As teeth are bared in a vicious grin that goes from ear to ear, each tooth sharpened to a point of complete mutilation, Dolosus Doleus wraps his hand around the grip of the 357. pistol, with nine rounds in the magazine and two extra mags near it. Reading the note, he growls out "The philosophy can wait. Now, it's time to kill some sons of bitches!", before charging back upstairs. After spotting the six Zombies remaining, he pockets the gun and charges forward [2 v 6], only for the Zombie's eyes to glow green, letting him dodge out of the way, sending Dolosus flying into the kitchen, where he proceeds to break the table.

While OceanSoul has an idea, all the Zombies have to be dead to do it.

Person wants to aid, but again, the Zed.

Spinning the bladed StormFlower pistols in her hands, mimicking an old west gunslinger with a grin on her face and fingers not touching the trigger for safety reasons, PirateJoe stops spinning and fires two shots into the crowd. [5 v 4, 2 v 6] While one shot misses, one does graze another zombie, though not good enough to hurt. Sending her soldiers out [10 v 7, 4 v 3, 8 v 9], the grazed one feels nothing as it is slashed in half, followed by another one getting grazed. With the mad flails of the third Zombie, the soldier misses each slash.

Suddenly, an "Agh! That stings!" distracts the Zombies, who turn back to look at Fallacy of Urist, who is still clutching both bats, who then proceeds to stand up and charge up the stairs. Meeting the Zombie up there, [1+2(Strength)+2(Baseball)+2(Cricket) v 1] he begins a barrage of savage attacks, each one breaking it's skull more and more. He only stops when he feels that there's no more skull to break, the bone becoming a liquid underneath his sheer power.

With eyes scanning every area with keen perception, every nook and cranny in her gaze as she tracks him down, Hawk looks for Herzog with a sadistic grin on her face, clutching her Venom Blades with vigor. [1] Suddenly, a black smoke envelops the room, making her unable to see anything. As she coughs and closes her eyes, she hears a door open and shut, followed by the noise of Herzog teleporting, but she can no longer see the door. [2] Worse yet, the smoke seems to be dragging her down. If she doesn't escape, she may go unconscious...or perhaps worse.

The Zombie who was attack charges towards the soldier. [9 v 9] The soldier parries with his sword.

BSN: IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, HASN'T IT?!

Sorry, but I'm really excited to get this out. Other then that, no real announcements. Sheets!

Should I anticipate the death of all zombies and be ready for Operation Dungeon Item, or fight off zombies for myself? I'm on the fence about this.....no, really. Fence the heads off the zombies with some well-placed stabs. Then, when only 1 or 2, maybe 3, are left, get ready for Operation Dungeon Item;
I have an idea. When all the zombies in the room are dead, place the Item Storage chest down in a good position, and play the 'something happened in the dungeon' jingle from TLOZ. As someone's opening it, continuously play the rising sets of four notes that precede the 'you got an item' jingle, and when someone gets the item and (hopefully) raises it above their head, play the 'you got an item' jingle. If this works, we'll have a useful item, whether it's a small key, bombs, a key item, or so on. MAYBE a piece of heart or all-purpose bottle or something.
Assist with this, if it's feasible.
You can be the one who opens the chest. Remember to hold it above your head, spinning slowly mid-air, as you look up, and to lean into the chest before you pull out the item.
Hand my banjo to TheBiggerFish(or someone else if they're opening it). Assist with the item chest plan by playing my guitar.
Person, TBF, are you still willing to help with this?

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Chapter V: The Re-Dead
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Afternoon, Clouding Sky, 7/23/2016

As the claustrophobic air of the grained wood surrounds and binds him and the screams of the undead further twist the ideals of mortality, TheBiggerFish eyes dart around the closet as he looks for something, anything, to help him in his fight. [3] Yet again, all he sees is foodstuffs, no cursory check turning up anything of importance that he can use to survive the hoard except for his human strength. Pressing a finger into his earpiece, he clears his throat before saying "No, no, you all stay.", to which Alexa responds with a simple "Da."

As her eyes scan the area carefully with great precision, counting all five Zombies in her head, PirateJoe nods to her own thoughts as she raises StormFlower and gauges both her rounds and the ease of targeting [5]. What turns up is at least one shot per Zombie. With a finger on the dual triggers, she quickly squeezes them. [2 v 3] The first misses its mark, the bullet whipping past the Zombie as it smashes and cracks the wall. [4 v 8] Another shot, another miss. This time, the round smacks the stairs and ricochets into the wall, splintering even more wood. [7 v 3] A third round fires, and with a single muzzle flash, the back of the third Zombie's head explodes as blood and brain matter splatter out onto the carpeted wood floor. It drops down unceremoniously, smacking blood against the carpet as it impacts. [6 v 3] Another shot cracks through the Zombie's neck [7] breaking it's spine from the neck down. It falls over, basically useless though still trying to hurt something. [3 v 7] The fifth and final shot misses the fifth Zombie, hitting the railing of the stairs.

As wood breaks around him, splintering across the floor as though it were glass, Dolosus Doleus stands on his own two feet with a snarl, his claws grimy and sharp as he clenches his fist. With a growling "Die." exiting his lips, he bull rushes towards the nearest Zombie, his hand opened and raised as he makes a grab for it's skull. [8 v 4] With no true fanfare save for the violent growls exiting his mouth, Dolosus swiftly grabs a Zombie and, with one squeeze, crushes it's head into red mist, covering Dolosus's brown scales in a thicker red substance. Grabbing the now-headless corpse by the legs, he charges towards one of the last two. [8 v 2] The Zombie only has enough time to turn his head towards the killer croc before it's head is catapulted away, smashing and splattering into pieces on the stairs.

[6 v 1] As the last Zombie growls and sprints towards Dolosus, a sudden squelch of flesh (which is an...odd sound, come to think of it.) smashes through the Warriors' eardrums as the Zombie's head explodes, an impaled spike ball in it's place. Exiting the bathroom, NRDL taps the side of the weapons with a smug grin.

With her idea coming to fruition, a musician's hands wrap around the Item Storage Chest as OceanSoul slams it onto the ground and pulls out her keyboard. With the yell of "Fish, get over here!", and the snap indicating that the H.I known as Person should act now, they hear a closet quietly open as BiggerFish runs inside. Seeing the chest and the musicians' instruments in the motion of prepping for play, Fish gets the memo as he walks towards the chest. [3+2+2] As the rising notes of the familiar Legend of Zelda chime play, Fish leans into the chest. Right as the "do-do-do-doo!" crescendo plays, Fish raises the item in the air. It's a basket, containing three Frag Grenades, which he pockets.

Blink...Blink. With two blinks signifying her annoyance and exasperation at the situation she's in, her eyes growing heavier with each closed eye, Hawk yells out "...Oi, don't you fuck with me, Herzog!" before feeling around for the door in the smoke. [7] Feeling her hands touch wood, her right hand grasping a doorknob with a triumphant grin, she and the Knight both try to bust the door down. [7+2 (Aid)] With a mighty kick from both parties, the door crumbles and sight returns [Spot Check: 5] which, while only revealing the hallway, does show options for her quarry's location.

"Well then. Good to see reality has caught up with me. Now then... where was I?", the muttered thoughts of one Fallacy of Urist say as he scans the room. To his chagrin and dismay, however, every enemy is dead. Woe is him. And look! More woe. [Medical:5] While Fallacy does wash some blood off with a stashed towel, he still runs a risk of infection.

BSN:If you wanna Get Out Alive...don't mess with insane magical Germans.

But yeah, sorry for the wait. I've been putting my work into school and my passion into my idea for my first commercial video game, which might not come until I'm more experienced. Once I feel ready and start work, I'll provide details, but for now, sheets. Don't worry, I still love Bay12. Just saying I was doing other stuff in the interim.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Chapter VI: The Domain of the Dead
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Afternoon, Clouding Sky, 7/23/2016

As more spiked balls roll down the tube in his weapon, giving him more ammo for the upcoming battle, the Chaos energy-fueled NRDL looks around the building, tapping his foot against the ground as he carefully examines every nook and cranny. [10] He finds the white Chaos Emerald near the right most door that housed the bathroom. As he picks it up and gains a quick power boost, he suddenly hears odd sounds downstairs, leading down to the morgue Dolosus Doleus found earlier. In particular, he perfectly hears Herzog grumbling, tapping something leather which he can only presume is the book.

Despite (or due to) the fact that NRDL can hear the insane German, Dolosus feels compelled to sink in more bloodshed. Waxing poetic, he drops the Zombie corpse and snaps his attention to the upstairs area. Growling out a "Zombies. Their flesh, not for consumption. It has the taint. This house, it is unnatural. We should leave as soon as possible.", he walks up and cracks each step, waving to Hawk before smashing down the door across from her. it is an empty bathroom, with a toilet, sink, and very large shower directly inside.

BiggerFish would've gone to find Herzog, but instead, he listens in with NRDL and hears the grumbling. All that's needed now is a plan.

Looking at his wounds with worried eyes, the blood starting to turn a slightly darker color from basic contact, Fallacy of Urist says "Suppose I need to wash up.", before turning around and heading to the bathroom. Rushing in, he shuts and locks the door before flying into the shower.

As everyone else explores or waits by the basement door, their hands like claws as they prepare to pounce, the virtuoso known as OceanSoul takes her time to loot the kitchen. [1] When she opens the door to the kitchen, shut by Fish as he looted her chest um...yeah, she suddenly finds herself doubling over in pain. When she opens her eyes from the agony-filled tears, she suddenly sees that everything in in black and white, save for red blood splattered on the walls. The room is now in shambles, as debris, corpses, and fire now bathe the area in post-apocalyptic furor, leaving a distinctive edge to the otherwise solid kitchen. Turning around, OceanSoul also sees that no one's there...

With robotic hands scouring the walls to the room, the musician H.I known as Person scans the area, looking for a secret room or switch to find something before the battle. [6] He does see something in the kitchen, and thus opens the door. Other then the corpses of the dead, no one and nothing is in there, but his eyes reveal the truth. Near the stove is a combination lock, which he reveals by popping a panel out of the wall. Looks like he'll need to go code-hunting.

With a quick wave of her hand, which leads to the sound of sheathing swords, the leader known as Pirate Joanna motions for her warriors to follow her, which they gladly follow. Walking over to the basement door, they await the final warrior.

And here she comes, as they see Hawk slide down the stairs. Thus, everyone is here, and the door silently opens...

BSN:Well that's ominous.

First: Thank you! While my game hasn't entered development (like I said, schooling), I am confident I can make something good with it with some experience. And since I have a decent amount of detail over what the game will entail (thanks to some help from PirateJoe on Discord), I could tell you guys about it right now.

Second: The sheets aren't here. I will either edit them in, or put them in the next turn, but I'm not entirely sure how many of them changed enough to not just do a copy-paste job.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part VII: Diversions
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Afternoon, Clouding Sky, 7/23/2016

As the Wiki-Warriors huddle around the door, each one taking careful steps to not give away their location, the one known as NRDL taps BiggerFish's shoulder, making the man jump through his startled appearance before turning to the other warrior. NRDL carefully whispers "Alright BiggerFish, what's the play here? I'm thinking we break the door down, you toss in a grenade, then I Chaos Control enough to launch as many spike balls as I can. IF we do, I'm gonna be out of commission for a second, so I'm gonna need you to back me up here.". BiggerFish nods and says "Door's open. I presume this is a boss fight.", to which NRDL responds "After you, then."
,
BiggerFish walks down the stairs, seeing the same thing Dolosus saw in terms of the morgue, but no Herzog in sight. Cupping his hands around his mouth, he yells out "Herzog! I would like to talk!", hoping to convince him to come out. [4] He gets a psychic message no one else can hear, saying "I don't trust you, but I don't trust anyone with this book on me. If you truly mean it, meet me in the attic. Come alone, and don't bring out your weapons. I will be expecting hostilities, or however you say that." Anyone whose actions during this moment were to either simply walk in or attack Herzog, such as PirateJoe and NRDL, pay mention to the lack of the German mage, though they do note a shimmering beacon on the floor. "Also, don't worry about the "Throw Voice" beacon. It's not dangerous."

As water falls down all around him, removing the tainted blood from his body before it can infect him, Fallacy of Urist showers [7] well, making sure he's nice and clean for the rest of the mission. But then, he decides to relax under the water, letting his problem with taking long showers bite him. [Showers for One More Turn]

Banging on the now-black kitchen door with fervor and resistance, her hands balled up into fists, OceanSoul calls out "Can anyone help me? Hey! I need some help!". No one shows up after some time, however, so she instead decides to check the cupboard for any supplies. [9] She does find parts to make two improvised weapons: a baseball bat, nails, a bottle of whiskey that's filled with gasoline, a rag, and a lighter. Swiping the parts, she also looks around the kitchen for what did this. [4] She can't find any external sign of anything dragging her in, though a mysterious impulse now tells her to explore as the door suddenly whips open.

After thinking about the situation for a little bit, Dolosus Doleus realizes something pretty quickly: There's no way he would be down there. Herzog would be hiding far away, not close by the exact spot where the Wiki-Warriors totally are. Walking back up the stairs, he sees three unopened doors, with the two open ones revealing the bedroom and bathroom. [3] Picking the second door on the right, he bursts it open to reveal [2] a horde of Zombies lying in wait in what appears to be a guest bedroom, with two King beds on opposite walls. There are [5] five Undead within the room, which Dolosus charges towards. [1 v 2] One Zombie lurches slightly to the left, causing the charging gator/human to roll on the floor towards the room's shared dresser.

Outside, on the front gate, a purple and shimmering light brings two more people into the fray, their eyes glazing over as they hear the order before returning to normal.

BSN: Well, we've got a Full House, now!

Don't have much to report, sorry. Don't worry, all of you had a turn. I just didn't feel like one or two sentence paragraphs for walking in were necessary, since that was the majority of actions, I'd wager. I'll better individualize the turns next...turn.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part VIII: Finding the Rat
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Afternoon, Clouding Sky, 7/23/2016

With an irate glare gleaming violently in his eye, his patience being tested with every second with an answer, NRDl yells out "Where the hell is he?" as he begins pacing around the room in search of both clues and Chaos Emeralds. [2, 2] There is not much indication, other than the shimmering beacon, that Herzog was down here, same with the Chaos Emeralds, as the Chaos Energy binding them is not present in this room.

Thinking hard about what Herzog said, his words sincere yet choked out like a strangled cry, the enigmatic BiggerFish looks up to the attic and says "Hmn. Stay down here, in case this is a double-bluff." to his teammates, who have no idea what he means by that. Sheathing his weapons, BiggerFish climbs up both the stairs to the morgue and the stairs to the second story, before walking down the hall and beginning to climb the new set. At the very top is a single door, which he opens, to find a dingy space. Cobwebs and dust seem to dominate the space, and before long, the quiet creaks of the wooden floor turn to haunting, echoing cries. In the center of the room, Herzog sits, flipping frantically through each page. He [10] not only notices BiggerFish instantly, but from just the glaze in his eye, can tell he's legitimate in his attempt to make piece. Clutching the book to his chest, Herzog says "Assuming you weren't followed, I welcome you. Please, speak. It must be important if it will stop the 223.", his voice calmer then before.

With a quiet yawn, PirateJoe stretches her arms out as she looks around for any secret passages. [8] Luckily, a mistakenly unsealed false wall was left uncovered, showing a decrepit staircase that seems to lead up to the attic. Squeezing past the barely open crawlspace, she begins climing up, and she hears what Herzog said, thus knowing that he's up there.

"Affirmative." is the simple, calm response of one of the new Wiki-Warriors, Failbird, as his drone chirps happily behind him. Walking through the gates and doors, he quickly sees the corpses of the undead across the ground, and begins scouring to find any mission critical data. [5] While the two word order didn't tell him anything, osmosis through Logan "Jaws" Sawyer's magic does fill in some blanks: Herzog has the book which holds the secret to the apocalypse, and Jess Warner wants it so he can start the apocalypse in an attempt to be spared from it's coming eventuality. He is somewhere within the house, and whoever finds and kills him, and retrieves the book by proxy, gains the wish. Otherwise, nothing is obvious. There is a staircase leading to a different floor, and several doors on the first floor.

Well, except for the loud scream that bursts from the second story, coming from the ear drum-bursting Canary Cry that Dolosus Doleus lets loose, which automatically stuns the Zombies with their lack of self-preservation. [3 v 3-2 (Stunned)] Dolosus, screaming in an incoherent rage like a violent crocodile would, grabs a Zombie by the head and squeezes tightly, instantly popping it's head apart. [6 v 5] Despite his efforts, his rage makes his attacks slightly miss the mark, the Zombie corpse he calls a weapon swinging past another Zed, [4 v 8] who in turn whiffs a bite.

After seeing Failbird and taking in the surroundings, which consist of a gothic gate surrounded by very faint amounts of living vegetation, The Moonlit Shadow walks into the building, keeping his eyes peeled for any skates. [7] Luckily for him, a Warner Industrial Program care package is right there, containing red skates that fit his feet well. Skating into the mansion, he looks for any other Wiki-Warriors not named Failbird. [2] He cannot see or hear anyone else.

As the sound of the faucet turning off concludes his shower, Fallacy of Urist humming through the entire venture, he leaves the shower and throws his old clothes back on.

Seeing PirateJoe disappear into the crawlspace, his Xanatos Gambit blood fueling the CPU through which he devises his plan, Person whips out his guitar and begins to play a song to raise morale. [5] He sings Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjwttGizNEs), which does aid their mood to a decent point [+1 to all Morgue-bound Warriors), but his mechanized voice leaves a bit to be desired.

Walking through the door with a cautious gait, her rapier in a ready stance as she prepares to strike out, Ocean Soul looks around the black and white ruins, trying to find something of value, a wait out, or simply an explanation. [7] She finds a small chest, containing [9] a 44. Magnum revolver (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.44_Magnum) with two speed loaders. Swiping the loot, she continues on her trek, looking for any explanation. [8] She finds a note taped to one of the stairs, reading "Another Wiki-Warrior? Well, I presume you want at least the vaguest of answers. If so, go down to the Scrying Pond near the mansion. It'll give you the bare minimum, then send you back to Timeline 2/Sigma. -G"

Following PirateJoe, Hawk grins evily. It's time to find Herzog once and for all.

BSN: When was the last turn any-Jesus.

Well, sorry for the delay. Thanks to a terrible sleep schedule, I didn't get to do much at all, save for writing and updating fanfiction, because that's simple. Three things:

1: I'm giving you the bare minimum because this is lore meant to be fully explained in the full Earth IV Mythos (namely, my video game projects), so giving you a teaser is all I can do for now.

2: I haven't been doing my Unreal Engine lectures lately. It was beginner stuff, so I don't have much to catch up on, but I'm still really glad you guys responded so well! I'm determined to bring the Earth IV Mythos (and other ideas) to life in the digital medium, so hearing such positivity is amazing!

3: Besides OceanSoul's shiny new gun, there wasn't much change in the Character Sheets. Thus, I will fill those in next turn. I hope you enjoy.

The mission is to kill Herzog, Who is the cult leader(I think). The reason, as my character has just discovered, is apparently to gain a book that will cause the apocalypse early for Jess to use. Also, I THINK I'm the only player who actually knows this in game.

That being said, I'm going to make my character do what I think will make things interesting, rather than what I would do in real life.


A smirk behind the helmet, interesting, now from a moral standpoint, most people would just stop and NOT do the thing which would lead to the early end of the world as we know it, Fail Bird, is not a very moral person. Instead, they would follow orders.
If this Herzog has such a book on their person, which they likely do, they likely also have access to much dangerous power, as such, search for other advantages to acquire before going on a focused Herzog hunt

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part IX: Hunting the Truth
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Afternoon, Clouding Sky, 7/23/2016

With his gaze constantly shifting to every corner of the Morgue, his eyes glancing through the nooks and crannies of the cold and dark room, NRDL continued searching for the mystical Chaos Emeralds. [8] With a glowing shimmer of one of the precious gems in the new stairway, NRDL walked over to the blue Chaos Emerald and retrieved it, feeling the power course through his veins as if it were his own blood. Walking up the stairs, he breathes a sigh of relief that this menace may finally be over.

As BiggerFish looks at the old man before him, who has returned to flipping through pages and reading through each spell carefully, he kneels down beside him and simply sits. After a few seconds, he says "So...What the heck is going on? I don't like the organizers of the Wiki-Wars, but I haven't been able to get very much information on them. Also, they want you dead. Though I notice they don't seem to have any caveats about how long you stay dead if you are. I'm wondering why that is..." which makes Herzog turn to him with a gaze that seems to be dredging up past memories. "I...was a member of the Cult of Jericho, or as the members call it, The Tribe of Alukahi. Voidric word for "Domination", in case you're wondering. Things were...going fine, I guess. I firmly believed in everything Astrid and his two cohorts were saying," he said, before pausing and gaining a particular edge to his voice, "Fucking revolting liars, they were. Marcellus, Glesgorv, both of them were yes-men to a cause they couldn't understand. Anyway, Astrid came in one day with a book of high level spells, things that only a Voidric Lord could get their hands on. In it was a spell to summon The Maw to Earth to let the 223, the Operator, come in to absorb our souls. Grow more powerful. "It's the right thing" he said, "We shall reach peace in Malo!" That's when I realized that everyone was, to put it gently, batshit insane. I ran up to him with my pistol, same one as I use today, and shot Marcellus in his lying eye. Stole the book in the confusion, and then I spent two years in solitude. I do not know who I can trust...except you."

Walking around the foyer in wonder, each step hitting the red carpet the same as the smell of rotten flesh hit his nose, Failbird thinks back to what he knows about his mission and smiles. "Interesting..." he thinks, as he searches the foyer to see if he can find anything to use to gain the advantage. [3] Nothing, however, stands out. Zombie corpses and pieces of gore surround him, but that's no advantage. All in all, if the Foyer had anything, it's been picked clean. That, or it just doesn't stand out.

Anger and irritation bubbles up in Dolosus's throat, a loud growl exiting his lips as he reaches out, trying to grab the Zombie that attacked him. [8 v 5] He grabs him by the skull and begins to squeeze hard, the sound of the Undead's skull cracking becoming a soothing to his ears as it finally explodes in a shower of blood and brains. Looking at the rest of the Zombies, he screams out "DIE!" as he releases the corpse of the Zombie, before grabbing the room's dresser and throwing it! [3 v 10] He throws it, but in a stunning display of intelligence, all of the Zombies roll to dodge the blow before rushing forward for an immediate Counter Attack. [9 v 4] The Zombie reaches out with jaws at the ready, as it bites him on the shoulder [Medical: 9] which only serves to chip a few scales off, with no infection in sight. As Dolosus looks at the Zombie completely nonplussed, it looks back with what seems like fear in it's orange, glowing eyes.

"Okay, then!" Fallacy of Urist says, exiting the bathroom and looking around. He spots a classy bloke in some nifty armor and, recognizing him as a Wiki-Warrior, walks over to him in order to make acquaintance.

Exiting the front door of the (Now even more) decrepit Geist des Todes Manor, OceanSoul breathes in a sigh as she sees the rest of the surroundings. Other than corpses and fire all around, the actual vegetation remains unchanged, which gives her a few seconds of calm before heading down to the lake. It's water is, for once, in color. Blue ripples dance across it as an ethereal glow makes it seem even more pristine and beautiful. As she looks in, she sees even more color inside of it, though the visual is less pretty. In a burning city, crucified in a hasty manner with nails through every point on the body, stands a creature in a black, loose-fitting robe. Rather then skin, sand covers the creature's bones, which seems to flake off as every interval. "The Rainmaker. He will start Earth IV's apocalypse. This is one timeline where we live." says a voice behind her. When OceanSoul turns around, she is roughly shoved into the lake, which begins to drag her in. Another woman comes up behind her pusher, who is wearing a suit and has both a bleeding left eye and a double barreled shotgun. The woman has bandages over her eyes, and is wearing a cloak over what looks like hunting gear. "Greed, did you have to do that?" she says, to which "Greed" responds "...Nah, but when have you known me for subtlety?". And with that, OceanSoul opens her eyes and wakes up in the normal kitchen, where she can see Fallacy of Urist walk towards an Eclipse Trooper.

The H.I known as Person reads over all possible variables, and chooses to walk up the stairs with the rest.

With a wave of her hand, the Korean Swordsmen guard the bottom of the stairs as the other Wiki-Warriors climb up, letting Pirate Joanna also climb up. Taking the initiative, she climbs up to the door and carefully opens it. [Sneak: 4] Unfortunately for her, the creaking door prevents her from getting the edge, as she sees Herzog and BiggerFish suddenly cloak from view.

Skating forward to new and unknown territory, The Moonlit Shadow was going to look for more people, but two Wiki-Warriors have already been seen: a positively shiny man with a cricket bat, and a Japanese musician just starting to rise from some unknown slumber. With that, Shadow begins looking around for anything he can use. [7] He sees a weapon dropped by one of the Zombies near the corpse of its owner, and goes to pick it up. It's a Combat Knife, its blade [Quality: 8] as sharp and clean as when it was manufactured.
Combat Knife gained! Make sure to stab the right things with it, m'kay?

Soon, the door bursts back open as Hawk, shaking from blissful rage, looks around for the German and the Traitor. [Spot Check: 2-2 (Invisibility Spell)] Not only are they completely gone, but there's nothing up there to even make her think there's anything. It's as if there was a false positive.

[Intimidation: 1] The Zombies are, obviously, undeterred by Mr. Honey Island Swamp Monster busting up in the room and killing one of their own, and so rush forward to attack. [10 v 5] [Coin Flip (Heads Bite, Tails Scratch): Heads] With a large bit from some of them, they [Medical: 4-2 (Crit Attack)] breach the scales and skin. Blood flows out of open wounds as Dolosus can feel the Necroa Virus course through his veins. Stumbling back, the Zombies approach...

BSN: FINALLY...REIGNBOTHORROR HAS COME BACK...TO YOUTUBE! ...oh, and I'm on Bay12 again...that's not important.

But seriously, here it is! The latest turn. As I said on Discord (here's the link (https://discord.gg/zvJnR2)), I'm writing FanFiction. While that is what my creativity is focusing on, its writing style got me into writing this turn! Hence the greater amount of detail and more flowery descriptions.

I'll include the sheets in the post that I'll use to bump the thread, so make sure to scroll up. :)

Communicate with my godly British accent. If they don't seem hostile, see if I can tri wield the combat knife with my two other swords, obviously using my awesome ninja skills.
Also be ready to use said ninja skills the way they're supposed to be used by fleeing if they are hostile.


Nope! They're other players.

Proceed deeper into the building, doing the same quick search in each room.

Good question! Yes, if a player becomes a hostile NPC, they are considered a boss (due to their powers), and therefore an article is gifted to their killer.

Also, their are others coming up the stairway behind me, and no, shooting me with a fireball or something wont end well so don't even think about it."  I was prepared to use direction in case Fish or Herzog fired anything at me.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part X: In Plain Sight
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Early Evening, Fully Cloudy, 7/23/2016

As a minor headache formed around her skull, pulsing and biting like her brain was out to get her, the virtuoso named OceanSoul pressed a hand to the nearby table in support as she rose up. Slowly standing on her own feet, she peered through the open door to see three Wiki-Warriors, two of which are unfamiliar: Fallacy of Urist was there, but there was also a stylish Brit with a soccer ball under his arm (Okay, why is that so common?) and an armored soldier. Still groggy from the trip, she merely stood in the door, content to finding three of her team.

Sliding down the railing of the stairway, Fallacy of Urist hit the ground (figuratively) swinging. Running forward, he dashed towards his discarded shopping cart, only to remember that it was upstairs due to his little stunt. Dejected, he climbed back up and wrapped his hands around the grip of the cart.

As the psychotic Hawk stands in the doorway, violently twitching as though someone had lit her short fuse, Fish pulls out his phone and begins to text Abigail. <[We need a plan.]> is what he types, his fingers dashing across the keypad. [Stealth: 6] The only people who hear the standard "buh-dweep" sound of the text going through are the people already aware of them (piratejoe and Hawk), though they can't trace the exact location. Fish then thinks: "What have we got, assets-wise, for getting out of here?" [Intuition: 9] Luckily, Fish's ambitions were correct as a psychic response plays out. "We have two windows we can dive out of, but we're on the third floor, so that's out. We both have weapons, ja? Still, it'll be difficult fighting our way out. Let me think..." [Resources: 8] The sound of fingers snapping in Fish's mind hits him as Herzog telepathically thinks "I got it! I have some things in here we can use. Bombs. We can make a bomb that'll blow the house apart. Any Wiki-Warrior who doesn't die will be too distracted to figure out where we're fleeing. If you want something non-lethal, or at least, not directly lethal..." [Non-Lethal Resources: 8] [Not Directly Lethal Resources: 7] "There's a flare gun, usually used for rescues. I can fire one up and we can try to escape through whatever they send to help. Drei, and finally, there's a Rift to the Chaosrealms in my morgue that's been sealed by that Ficken Verschwendung von Speicherplatz they call "Greed"."

Raising a hand up in a mellow greeting, the black trenchcoat clad Moonlit Shadow says "Well, hello. It's nice to see a friendly face, or so I presume." [6] While the accent gets their attention, Fallacy and Ocean aren't overly impressed, given that their version of BiggerFish has a South African accent. Pulling out his swords, he attempts to see if he can Ninja up his swords with his knife. [5] While he can slot the knife in his teeth while using his swords, he cannot use them at the same time.

With feet planted firmly on each step, the Chaos-filled NRDL climbed up to the attic. Once there, his eyes peered around the area as he looked around for Herzog. [Spot vs Stealth: 6 v 2] NRDL can see the dust kicked up from the footsteps of two different men, one of which he just knows to be Herzog.

As black blood replaces his previously red inner liquid, the crocodile-like Dolosus feels as though he is being watched, as though each Zombie was staring at him. [10] With a fervent Canary Cry, he blows the Zombies away into the wall as he speeds through the door. After shutting it, he leans against the wall and looks down to the liquid. [10+2] Using his knowledge as a Wiki-Warrior and as a biologist, he rushes over and grabs some chemicals from the bathroom and then sits down at the lab downstairs to synthesize some others. [6] While not a chemist, he does a passable job, and thus drinks his concoction. The chemicals he's synthesized range from blood thinners to things that make the ammonia he got safe to drink. After downing the concoction, he is relieved to see that his blood turns red, before vomiting because he just drank bathroom chemicals and something he created to not kill him after downing it. (Does that make scientific sense? No? Well, it's Earth IV and he's a giant crocodile-man. Use your imagination.)

Failbird continues through the house, checking each of the other doors downstairs. He sees both the morgue, and the other room, which is a chemist's lab. In the chemist's lab is a giant crocodile-man retching up his lunch, so he wisely decides to stop searching downstairs.

Person walks up the stairs.

Standing tall in the doorway, Pirate Joe looks into the room and says "So, tell me, how do you plan on killing seven or so people desperate to kill you? Also, there are others coming up the stairway behind me. And no, shooting me with a fireball or something won't end well, so don't even think about it" As expected, she didn't get a true answer, but judging from the lack of attack, she was safe for now.

((NPC'd)) "WAITING, WAITING, WAITING?!" Joanna, Fish, Herzog, and practically everyone else can hear Hawk's mind snap under the pressure as she begins gibbering and screaming. As she collapses to her knees, she hears a little voice in her head grow louder. "Kill them...KILL THEM ALL! He is your champion, the light leaving them looks so pretty, 223 takes you-" Turning to Joe [7 v 10], she lunges towards her. Joe dodges an attack from her poison blades, which only makes her turn to Joe with the same sadistic grin commonplace of people like Jess Warner.

BSN: I hope Hawk likes the send-off of hostile NPC-dom.

Anyway, I will make it a habit to separate the character sheets into a separate post. It seems better that way. Maybe because it's quicker? I don't know.

Chaos Blast isn't a directional projectile (that's Chaos Spear). Chaos Blast, at least in Shadow the Hedgehog, is an area of effect blast of Chaos Energy. Imagine an explosion of the Chaos Emeralds. The other Warriors (except Hawk) will be fine, just throwing it out there.

Attack hawk with the twin swords. If I see Herzog, try talking to him one more time to become aware of the situation. I sort of left off on good terms didn't I? If both... well I can multitask right?

Gonna be honest, even if I knew in character that Herzog was sort of a good guy in terms of being against the Cult of Jericho, I'm not sure I'd ally with him. They've sort of shown themselves to be a: Very powerful and b: Quite capable of cruelty. So basicalIy, I don't envy(heh geddit?) what might happen to us in game if this rebellion goes wrong.

I'm not actually entirely sure of my location to be honest... That's what I get for saying "Follow everyone" for like 3 turns though. Am I near hawk and the others or... Yeah, prety sure the pain killers are still affecting my ability to work through this situation.

If I see hawk go crazy, attack them with twin swords. If I see Herzog, try talking to him one more time to become aware of the situation. I sort of left off on good terms didn't I? If both... well I can multitask right?

Begin searching for gasoline and a source of fire. If it is found, go outside and start pouring gas all over the house. Then set the house on fire. In fact, try to set the house on fire even if no gas is found. Just be outside when that happens.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part XI: I'll Be the Roundabout
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Early Evening, Fully Cloudy, 7/23/2016

The sound of metal flying out of fabric distracted those watching from looking at Hawk's breakdown, as Pirate Joe whipped out both of her StormFlower pistols from her sleeves. Pointing both of Hawk, she waited for the right time to strike. [2 v 2, 10 v 1] From the pistol in her left hand, she squeezed the trigger, and saw the bullet whiz past the face of the insane former-Wiki Warrior, and hit the wall. As Joe fired again, she watched the split second it was in the air before a large squirt of blood suddenly splashed out of Hawk's throat. [Medical Saving Throw: 7] While it didn't hit an important artery, a large amount of blood is leaking out of her neck, which weakens Hawk to the point of slipping down to her knees.

Ignoring the carnage before him, NRDL turned to the shadow and growled out "DIE HERZOG!", before rushing towards Herzog and (unknowingly) Fish. Fish screams out "OI, WATCH IT!  Do you really want an apocalypse on your hands?" [Convince: 10] Which not only stops NRDL dead in his tracks, but also makes him start thinking about his motivation behind this. "Is the apocalypse really worth it in the end?"

Pulling out both of the Twin Swords set, the H.I known as Person stalked towards the insane Hawk. Raising both up, it prepared to strike the Warrior down. [7 v 9, 9 v 4] Hawk shakily grabbed one sword with her remaining strength, only to feel col steel slash through her stomach. She fell over, coughing up blood as she was now too weak to stand.

With a steady hand pressed to the table in support, Dolosus Doleus stood up and shakily took a breath of relief. Shaking his head, he began searching the lab for gasoline and something to set that chemical off. [9+1 (Chemical Lab), 5] He not only found one can of gasoline. He found three cans. Next to them is a box of matches, unopened and riped for the taking. Nicking all four items, he opened one of the cans and began pouring all over the foyer, leading outside. Once there, he splattered the contents of the can all over the outside walls, every window, anything the Warrior could get his hands on. As he finished one can, he had made a complete loop around the house, and thus took a match out and lit it. [8] Throwing the match down into the gas, it only took a second before the house erupted into flames. The outside of the first floor became engulfed in fire, with it quickly spreading up.

On the inside, the foyer also exploded into flames, the red plasma burning brightly. Ignoring the croc-dude from before, Fallacy turned to his new ally and said "Ah! Um, Pleased to meet you... whatever your name is.", to which he got a response. "The name's Shadow." he said, before pointing towards the awakening OceanSoul "You wouldn't happen to know that girl, I suppose?". Even with his safety on the line, Fallacy spared a glance towards the virtuoso, and said "Well, my name's Fallacy. That one? Maybe? I don't recall...". Shadow nodded, and said to OceanSoul "Huh. Well, if you were listening, you appear to have the advantage of us. So I ask, who are you?" Seemingly too groggy to notice the flames, she instead notes the two men backing away into the kitchen she resides in, and says "Just another Wiki-warrior, honestly. I somehow met this alternate dimension mansion, but it just ended up wasting time. Anyway, anyone got any leads on the target?". While there, she scavenges around [1], but only finds a note, which says "Waste of time? I spared you a gun, lady. -G"

Shocked into silence, Firebird watches the house erupt in fire, and begins running towards the second floor, before the fire can get him. [8] He manages it up the stairs, and explores. There are only opened doors. One is a bathroom, one is a bedroom with smoke covering it. The third one is a room that has around four Zombies shuffling around inside. All of whom whip their head towards Firebird. [3 v 9] The Defense Drone automatically fires, but it misses it's three shots as the Zeds grow closer.

Suddenly, the Silver Knight comes barreling in with his sword, willing to protect his master. [5 v 10] It strikes at the H.I, but Person catches it off guard and moves in. [2 v 1-1] Making a wild stab, it suddenly strikes through the Knight's helmet. Person watches as, despite it's clumsy shot, the Knight dies right before his eyes.

The Zombies all turn to Firebird, as one rushes forward to capitalize on a good meal. [8 v 1+2] [Heads: Bite] The Zombie chows on the armor's shoulder. While it does protect Firebird from true harm, the impact basically compromises the armor integrity on his right arm: any attacks there will only defend so much. [+2 reduced to +1 on aimed shots to the right arm.]

Suddenly, another Wiki-Warrior beams in outside. Falling over, they look up to see a large, humanoid crocodile laugh hysterically as a large manor burns before him. Objective is clear: Kill Herzog. But is that the right thing to do?

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part XII: Burn It To The Ground, Tonight
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Early Evening, Fully Cloudy, 7/23/2016

Stopped dead in his tracks by the weight of his actions, NRDL can only pause as he thinks about what he's doing. Turning back to where he remembered Herzog was standing, he says "...I'll be honest Fish, I have no idea what I'm fighting or dying for anymore. What are YOU trying to do?", before standing there and waiting for a response. [Idle] After a few seconds of radio silence, he instead looks around for another Chaos Emerald. [10] He not only finds a Chaos Emerald, he actually finds two Chaos Emeralds, each one radiating with power. Setting them in his inventory, he continues waiting.

Staring down the purple, glowing eyes and mouth of the quadruple Zombie team, Firebird instinctively throws his chisel up, slinging it at one Zed's head. [5 v 3]  It instead sticks into it's eye, maroon blood pouring out as the Zed comes out unfazed. The drone fires at the three Zombies, [1 v 10] but upon it's first shot, the Zombie suddenly detects danger and sidesteps out of the way with a shuffle of it's rotted feet, before growling and charging towards the Drone [5 v 2], flailing it's arm out. It's painless existence, coupled with the talon-like fingernails of the Undead, cracks the Drone's vision sensor with little ill effect to the Zombie, which manifests as a light above the main gun. The Drone flies for a second, distracted and shaking. [-1 to Accuracy (Slight Damage-Optical Sensor]

With the fire burning before his very eyes, the large Man-Croc hybrid known as Dolosus Doleus simply sits cross-legged, admiring the flames as they torch the house from the bottom up. [Fire Spread: 10] They accelerate up the wooden walls, setting the second floor ablaze and torching the very bottom of the third.

Standing up on his own two feet, the purr of his jet engine behind him signaling his wake up call, the enigmatic Lord Lemonpie instinctively feels his skin, smoothly grazing over the non-burning flesh. Relieved, he says "Dzień dobry, przyjaciele!", which gets Dolosus's attention. "Looks like you got started without me! You! Crocodile man! Where is this Herzog we need to kill?", he continues, as he begins his search for the Artifact left to his kind by the Pillar Men eons ago. [1] Not only does he not see it anywhere on the ground, he gets the instinctive suspicion it's not on the outside ground at all. Undeterred, he uses his Vampiric speed to look again, this time using his agility to look through the house's windows. [1] Again, he cannot see it, and it doesn't feel like it's in the house at all. Then again, without his full-power set, he can't use his senses to track the source of the energy, so it might be right in front of him and he just can't see it. Landing onto the ground, he looks up to Dolosus, who looks back and says "Herzog? In there. Should not enter. Burn with Herzog. Burn with the impure meat. We better off, house burned down.". Lord Lemonpie looks at him with a grin, saying "Never underestimate the power of a desperate man, crocodile man. They always find ways to run. I'll go and scout from above after I find something I've lost here.", which only makes Dolosus shake his head. "I will be here. Outside. Waiting for if he escapes the fire. Herzog will not escape from me. No care for your scouting. The hunt ends soon."

[4 v 9-3 (Heavy Injuries, Blood Loss] Despite the hole in her throat and the gash in her stomach, the now-insane Hawk suddenly leaps out of the way of another sword attack, landing on her back [1 v 9-3], which gives her the position to dodge another sloppy strike from Person, who stands over her, irritated.

With a sigh, Pirate Joanna walks over to Hawk and holds her StormFlower pistol up to her forehead, saying "Don't worry, you won't have to suffer anymore.". [6 v 8-3] The bullet grazes her ear, which only makes Hawk groan in more violent pain.

[7] Fallacy dodges the fire as he dives outside, also saying "Last time I saw Herzog was when he made those zombies."

(Send-Off: Hostile NPC/Storyline Character) The Moonlit Shadow looks around the attic for some skates, [5] and finds one of a pair, the single shoe going into his inventory. Appropriately dark thoughts enter his mind, the image of both Herzog and the Wiki-Warriors clouding his thoughts. So, looking for another one, [9] he finds it on top of a crate. Exiting through the stairs to the basement morgue, he comes up at the burning inferno that is the lowest floor, with OceanSoul standing right there as she reads a note.

[Auto, 8] Automatically perceiving the flames as they cook the air around her, OceanSoul opens a window in the kitchen and dives out, saying "Huh. Forgot I got this Magnum over there. Weird, it's felt like weeks since I've got this. It's probably just some parallel-dimention jet lag." As it's far too dangerous to check any other rooms, she instead comes up with a different plan.

The purple light re-emerges as yet another Wiki-Warrior joins up, their eyes locked onto the burning house.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part XIII: Objective Motivation
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Early Evening, Fully Cloudy, 7/23/2016

After retrieving the Chaos Emeralds from the attic, NRDL turns around with an odd heat licking at the soles of his shoes, and asks "Herzog, if you're listening to me, what the hell are we meant to do? We kill you, we play into someone else's hands. What is your plan here?", before continuing the search for more Chaos Emeralds. [8-2 (Rarity [Only Two Left])] He feels Chaos energy emanating from somewhere else in the attic, and so goes over to the most likely place it can be. Boxes upon boxes are stacked up in the corner, and the Chaos energy is emanating from there. Before he can grab it, Herzog replies. "I aim to survive. There is someone in another timeline who wants this book. I aim to learn how to open a Rift with this, and give it to them for safe-keeping. I need time to find out how to do it."

PirateJoe, peering down at the determined Hawk, simply sighs before trying to stab Hawk with StormFlower's pistol blades. [8 v 10-3] StormFlower stabs into Hawk's cheeks from a misplaced blow, which may be because she moved her head as this heat burned at her back. Joe can feel it too, heat burning at the soles of her feet.

Standing up from the grassy ground, dirt sticking to his sleeves, Fallacy of Urist dusts himself off and looks at the house. The first and second floor are basically engulfed in flame, the third one isn't too far and [Flame Damage: 3] while the house is actually holding itself together well, it can't possibly take much more. Sighing, Fallacy says "Well, best get to work. " and looks around for him. [9] Without much question, Fallacy knows exactly where he is: the third floor. And luckily for him, there's a plane close by.

As the flames continue to torch the wood of the mansion, Dolosus Doleus simply continues watching with a "Hmmph.

Not content to just watch the manor burn, Lord Lemonpie scoffs and dashes towards his bomber, basically flying in from his speed as he activates it. [9+2 (Piloting Bonus)] The plane bursts to life, already releasing it's grip on the ground as it begins darting upward. While the plane flies, Lemonpie activates his vampiric speed and essentially glides with ease throughout the craft, checking the area for items of interest. [4+2 (Demolitions)] [6+2 (Piloting)] [9] First, the payload. Around six bombs await their fate of dropping on some poor bastard, each one primed and ready to detonate. Six ready-to-use parachutes await each wall. What catches Lemonpie's eye, however, is a conspicuous mask lying on the ground. Turning it over, the two fangs and sunken eyes make him smile. The Stone Mask, created by the beings now known as the Pillar Men thousands of years ago. Affixing it to his face, he awaits his new power...and feels nothing. Removing it, he looks at it confused [Lore Check: 4+2], until he suddenly remembers the key ingredient to actually activating it: blood. You need blood to power the Stone Mask up. There was something else that needed to be added to the Mask to make it do something else, but that's unimportant right now.

As High Tyrol opens his eyes for the first time, he looks at the burning mansion with awe as he rises to his feet. Looking down, he wraps his hands around the handles of the particle cannon, feeling power course through it. Instantly activating his shield, he stomps his feet, beginning the process of summoning his Mexican warriors, before backing up and running towards the nearby research station.

With a robotic scoff, Person looks down at Hawk and raises it's swords to the air. [8 v 10-3, 7 v 6-3] The first blade once again grazes the skin, but that distracts as the second blade rakes across her skin, spreading more blood. [Medical Check: 10] And yet someone, she holds on, her breath actually quickening. [8 v 3-3] With a ridiculously quick slash, Hawk's head actually flies off in a bloody arc. Kneeling down, Person loots Hawk's poison blades, before a curious readout stops it. It says "I'm detecting an usual increase in temperature. It may be wise to evacuate.", before suddenly feeling an odd sense: new powers.
Person killed a hostile PC! It gets:
http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Turismo: +Black Turismo

Or rather, a new car, as a shiny new Ferrari, or something similar, suddenly rolls up next to the manor. The keys suddenly appear in their hand.

Failbird realizes what he has to do, and thus does the only rational thing to do in a situation like this. He immediately runs over to a window to through himself through. [5 v 3] While running, he fires his three-round burst M-4 Shuriken into a Zombie, two shots connecting into it's chest, though it barely flinches. [Damage Check: 5] He throws himself through the glass. While neither the act nor the shrapnel affect him, landing heel-first on the ground does bruise him, though nothing major happens. "NOT[I/] sticking around there!" he shouts, as his drone flies after him [5-1 v 1] while a volley from it's gun kills the Zombie that attacked it in retaliation.

(Idle) OceanSoul and BiggerFish both wait, trying to come up with a plan.

Suddenly, Hawk rises up, her flesh rapidly decaying. She has become Hallow, though she is still dead.

The Moonlit Shadow attempts to burst through the house [8] and slams through the door with ease. Now outside, he begins the process of skating around the manor, hoping to cast a Frost spell. [2] However, he finds one thing wrong with the plan almost immediately: his skates aren't Magic. Well, they can do magic. Not what I mean. They can't skate on any surface. He can't skate on grass. There needs to be an alternative plan.

"You raise an excellent point, H.I, so how about we do this: People who support me, help me out. Those who want to kill me for the rewards, give us a head-start. Sound good? Sounds good to me, ja." Herzog says, slightly decloaking as light shines around his translucent form.

BSN: Kept you waiting, huh?

So, yeah, more time will be spent here. I might go on another break to write more, and I obviously can't spend as much time on Bay12 as I did when I started out. But I am not, nor will I ever go on an unannounced hiatus again.

So, sheet time? Sheet time.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part XIV: Awaken (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhVCoTsBaM)
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Early Evening, Fully Cloudy, 7/23/2016

As the flames burn bright all over the manor [Burn Damage: 1] while barely hurting the miraculously holding wood, Dolosus Doleus contemplates the circumstances leading up to this moment. "This virus. I..I remember! [Biology Bonus] "The Necroa Virus. Voidric in nature, activates on death. What causes it? [5+7] "A combination of magic and basic cellular decay. I wonder how I can use this?"

Turning around, Fallacy stares at the flames as they lick up the wooden manor. Gulping, he steps away from the heat.

Reaching down and grabbing Hawk's poisoned blades, ignoring the Hallow still standing and gripping them however loosely, Person says "Nothing personal Hawk." before running to the window. Spotting a black Turismo in the grass, he looks down. [Layout: 2] It seems like quite the drop, so he instead braves the stairway shortcut and runs down. Emerging back in the morgue, he runs up to the first floor, only to be blindsided by flames. [3 v 10-2 (Robotic)] While he isn't set on fire, the sudden burning boils the Xanatos Gambit liquid coursing through his chassis. Feeling pain shoot up through his metal parts, he stumbles back downstairs, his arms and head especially splitting from the sudden attack.

Sighing, NRDL turns around to the invisible German and says "Tell me what you want done then, Herzog. I'm tired of fighting for no reason. I'm curious to see where this goes.". While he reaches down and grabs the glowing Red Chaos Emerald (bringing his total to six), Herzog says "There is someone in the Prime Timeline. If I can get this book to them, the Operator of this timeline will not be able to destroy the Earth. Simple." Nodding, NRDL runs downstairs, looking at the dazed and groaning H.I with pity before bursting the doors open. [4 v 4] While his flesh gets by the heat slightly, he still makes it to the door and runs out, cold air surrounding him quickly.

With a heavy sigh, Pirate Joe and her Korean guardsmen run down to the same route, and brave the same flames. [6 v 1] With ease, all four of them make it out unscathed, cool grass under their feet to remind them that they survived.

Slamming his fingers into his arm, Lord Lemonpie's skin bursts and blood begins seeping out, which he uses in conjunction with his fingers to coat the mask. Smiling, he attaches the Stone Mask to his face, only to feel tendrils stab into his brain. Power radiates through him, and he begins laughing. The Mask falls to the ground, and in it's wake, a fully Awakened Vampire stands. "Better safe than sorry." he says, before walking over to the cockpit and activating the bombs. The plane opens up and, in sequence, the six bombs fall, coating [8+2 (Six Bombs)] the entire playing field so far. Every Wiki-Warrior, plus Herzog, are in danger.

[5 v 8] Protected by both the layers upon layers of basement, Person is unaffected by the fireball, though he feels the house break away above him.

[1 v 10] NRDL breathes a sigh of relief, since he had made it out alive. As soon as he hears the first loud bang, however, he immediately books it, running as fast as he can. With a burst of speed granted by the Chaos Emeralds, he runs away from the blast, safely making it to a tree.

[9 v 4] Dolosus Doleus sighs and stands up, only to be blinded by an intense light as he feels his body being pushed back. As he slams into the same tree NRDL is using to rest, he opens his eyes to see that metal is stabbed into his chest and arms, with his left arm in particular being broken, the bone snapped backwards as it dangles lifelessly.

[6 v 5] Fallacy of Urist looks up just in time to see the bombs falling, and he begins running. The shockwave of one of the bombs still hits him, though, and he flips through the air, smacking back first against the grass. Despite the pain and the lack of breath, he's otherwise fine.

[2 v 4, 9 v 9] With the sound of whistling bombs, Pirate Joe begins running, with her guards following close by. Despite some near misses, they make it to the same tree, breathing hard as the bombs explode.

[7 v 6] Ocean Soul, like Fallacy, is picked up by the shockwave and slammed into the grass. Besides some new cuts and bruises, she is otherwise fine.

[5 v 9] Detecting that something is seriously wrong, BiggerFish's invisibility spell leaves him as he begins scrambling. Suddenly, his waist begins glowing purple as he is safely lifted outside of the house. "No matter what happens, you must carry on my legacy" Herzog says, as Fish is carried safely to the ground far enough from the blast.

[1 v 7] The Moonlit Shadow, with expert speed, runs away from the blast. Using his skates on non-grassy terrain helps him, and he safely escapes.

[6 v 7] Failbird, thanks to the preliminary running of Pirate Joe and NRDL, runs off with his drone in tow, breathing a sigh of relief as he does so.

[6 v 6] High Tyrol makes it out of the blast radius just in time, as do his newly summoned Mexican warriors.

[5 v 1] The Hallow of Hawk takes about a second of life left before the bomb devours it whole, the fireball engulfing the poor creature.

[5 v 2] As a bitter tear leaves his right eye, Herzog says to himself "Astrid...I hope you burn in hell.", just before the bombs total house. In the initial impact, the explosion snaps his right arm out of it's socket, and pushes him to the window.

In addition, the house breaks apart and begins falling. [8 v 6-2 (Falling)] Herzog goes with the creaking and falls out of the window, landing [Safe Landing: 6] on the grass hard on his back as his breathing turns to wheezing. The house falls over and crumbles, becoming a burning pile of debris.

BSN: If I missed anyone's action: I am sorry, but this is a good place for the turn to end off. I'm sorry for the wait. Due to that wait, it's time for another roll call: who's still around? I want to make sure all hands are on deck after so long. The only person who doesn't have to do this is BiggerFish, since his non-posting is due to computer troubles.

Stand up. Walk closer to Herzog. "You know, I might have considered helping you out if you had talked to me. I wanted to talk. But when one of us attacked you, you reflected that on all of us and sent in a zombie horde. Indiscriminate. Goodbye."

Well, if it's as fast as Wolverine, it will only take around two or three turns. Are there any examples to show how fast the healing factor works in the comics?

I was more referencing wolverine in the sense of "able to regrow lost limbs" and the like.

I've done some digging (because I apparently have way too much free time) and from arkham city wiki (http://arkhamcity.wikia.com/wiki/Killer_Croc), "[Killer Croc's] regenerative healing factor is quite remarkable, as superficial lesions, extreme mutilations, ballistic wounds, stab wounds, severed limbs & organs, massive bruises & cuts completely heal almost instantaneously. However, that ability had severe side effects as well: Namely, having to regenerate extensively for a prolonged period of time alters his physiology, which is likely an adaptive response to the extreme trauma. More specifically, the torturous experiments Croc underwent, caused him to have his physiology end up permanently altered so that he looked even more bestial than before."

So I dunno. That level of regeneration seems a tad OP, so I'll just leave it to you to decide how to balance it.

Very angry, annoyed and a bit tired from all the running, I looked to the sky to identify what dropped the bombs, upon spotting an aircraft (probably a  B-17B Flying Fortress) I shot a missile at the thing, ready to redirect it if it went off course. After all, best take the thing and whatever was in it out before it could make another pass or use the aircraft itself as a bomb. Besides, I was tired of this, and I am not letting anyone take my wish away.

I saw Dolosus_Doleus say this game is dead on his Wiki-Warfare, so update time: No. It's really not.

At first, it was just up to my laziness. Then, I decided to get off my ass and update...my other two games. Earth IV went a long while without a turn, and Zodiac less so. Then, things started getting busy. Real busy. I didn't have time to do it, nor the motivation. Between doing a part-time job, actually leaving the house, and simple lazy downtime playing copies of video games I recently got, I just didn't feel like it.

It upset me that Dolosus said my game died, because it makes me feel like I failed. So, a new turn will come out soon, and follow-up turns will come out at a decent time in the future, come Hell or High Water, because damn it, this is my problem and I'm fixing it.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Part XV: With a Fight Like This, I'm Never Gonna Win
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Early Evening, Fully Cloudy, 7/23/2016

As NRDL rushes back to the house amongst the burning wood and the smell of melting flesh, he can immediately see the crumpled form of Herzog as he lies on the grass. He is still visibly alive, but his right arm appears to have been snapped out of it's socket, and it seems like the wooden shrapnel slammed it's way through his face, as blood pours down his cheeks. "Hilfe..." he groans out, writhing in his agony. NRDL attempts to pull him away from the wreckage [4] In spite of his weight, which may be due to the aid of the Chaos Emeralds, NRDL pulls Herzog to safety, propping his back up on a nearby rock to watch the flickering flames. "Verdammt," he wheezes, "Der Betreiber dieser Welt kann nicht gewinnen."

Groaning and grumbling under the weight of the admittedly large pinprick of a sensation his wounds make, Dolosus Doleus says "How annoying." before rearing his fist back. [8+2 (Super Strength)] The tree shatters into wooden fragments, which he [7], with only one good arm, quickly fashions into a serviceable splint. Feeling his healing factor kick in, he rises up and watches the flames even more. [Healing Factor finishes in One Turn]

Rising up with furious determination in his eyes, Fallacy of Urist unsheathes his bats and begins a slow walk over to Herzog's location. With each crunching footstep, his tranquil fury raises up, his blood boiling as he clutches his bats hard. When he makes it to Herzog, he seems blind to anyone other than the twisted, broken man on the rock. "You know, I might have considered helping you out if you had talked to me. I wanted to talk. But when one of us attacked you, you reflected that on all of us and sent in a zombie horde. Indiscriminate. Goodbye." Herzog can only stare as he raises his bats up, before a voice interrupts. "Stop! Don't-", but the rage increases and Fallacy can only grin as her turns to attack Herzog's would be protector...[6+2+2+2 v 4] only to stare in horror as everything comes flooding back the minute NRDL's head explodes into a fine red paste. The only recognizable bit of him is a jawbone that flies away from the now bleeding neck stump. The body twitches for a second before unceremoniously and anti-climactically dropping onto the grass, staining the formerly green plants with red blood. Fallacy merely steps back, horrified at the sight.

Failbird turns back upon the collapse of the building, and runs back, searching for Herzog. [8] He comes across Herzog on the rock, still staring at the blood covered Fallacy of Urist, who is, himself, staring at the headless corpse of NRDL. Upon his identification, Failbird raises his gun up. [1 v 3] He pulls the trigger, grinning under his helmet, only to hear a *click*. The gun jammed, and so he is unable to fire on Herzog.

Pirate Joanna, annoyed and angry at what just happened, looks up to the sky to find whatever bomber dropped that payload. [2] However, due to the thick fog that comprises the clouds, she can't see anything related to the bomber plane.

After hearing the sound of everything collapse above it, Person looks around for any other way to escape. [2+2] The staircase to the attic should lead outside due to the damage, but the H.I needs to brave the fire to escape. Nodding, Person opens the door and races out. [3] The extreme heat throws off his sensors, however, and so [7 v 1] he is unable to see some falling debris coming. A large plank of wood suddenly falls, it's weight growing by two more planks falling just above it. The planks smash into Person's left shoulder, damaging it into a disabled state. In a moment of self-preservation, Person walks back down the stairs.

Using his newly found Vampiric senses, Lord Lemonpie peers down to the ruined mansion and tries to find Herzog. [5+2 (Vampiric Senses)] He spots him laying on a rock East of the destroyed estate. Pre-emptively, he pulls on a parachute and wais for his moment to strike.

Having survived the burning of the house, Ocean Soul immediately goes back to her mission and circles the perimeter, trying to track Herzog back down. [7] She finds him surrounded by people (including one dead man, presumably NRDL given his outfit] and hides behind a nearby tree, waiting for her moment to strike.

High Tyrol makes it to the research station nearby, his Mexican warriors following close by. He knocks on the doors and waits a moment, before a man opens the door in a labcoat, the tag "Dr. Norfolk" shining on the right. "Hello," he says in a stoic voice, "How may I help you?"

((Idle)) The Bigger Fish, shocked that all this happened, sits down on the grass and contemplates his next move.

The Moonlit Shadow also waits, staring at Herzog and his former allies, waiting for the right moment to remove them all from the equation.

BSN: Surprise! It came out now! I think that's a pretty good indicator of how serious I am with this: I banged out a new turn barely an hour after I said the game would return. So, if you had any suspicions due to my previous promises to update: feast your eyes.

NRDL (assuming you're still around, and you better be, I didn't bring this back so no one would see it), if you found your death fair, would you like to waitlist? And if you didn't, please tell me why.

"What... why? After what you've done, why do they protect you?!"

Should I get a new article for a player kill? Anyways, attack Herzog again with same technique.

Because of my wording from Hawk's situation (and someone else's before his, I recall), that only occurs when two Warriors are on different sides. Killing The Moonlit Shadow, for example, would get you an article as he has clearly turned to the side of an Anti-Hero. He isn't on your side. NRDL still was, his motivation and personal stance on the dilemma is different.

Not seeing any sign of an aircraft, and seeing a bunch of people starting to attack Herzog, I did the one thing I could do, I used my power of Direction to make any bullets shot at Herzog go back to the one who fired at them. I wasn't just going to let him die, and least, not yet, and definitely not by someone else.

It most certainly is, man. And I am so excited for V5. Also, really excited for BlazBlue: Cross Tage Battle. And we should be getting a Yang Trailer, too. All in all, pretty hype month.

Oh, okay. I guess next turn is GigaGiant's debut, too. It's also entirely possible Herzog will die next turn, but that's a chance this kind of mode is willing to take.

New turn will come soon. I don't know when exactly, but it won't be too long a wait.

Chapter IV: Herzog
Elimination
Round XVI: The World Keeps Turning
Herzog's Manor/Hideout, Close to the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Early Evening, Fully Cloudy, 7/23/2016

All at once, several warriors make their way over to Herzog's crumpled form, his sad eyes still holding a fixated gaze on his attackers. Dolosus Doleus, seemingly undeterred by his quickly regenerating wounds, raises his Desert Eagle up to Herzog. "Die, worm.", he growls, as Failbird walks up with his drone. Pointing to Herzog, he gets the drone to open up his cannon. And as gunshots sound, Herzog closes his eyes and waits for the inevitable. Or at least, it would have been inevitable, if not for a certain Pirate who's hand is raised up to the situation. [8 v 3] [1 v 1] The bullets from the Deagle hang in the air, confusing Dolosus for a second, before they suddenly turn right around and slam right into Dolosus's chest and good arm. He gasps and growls as he is reduced to sitting on the ground. Joanna doesn't even have to do anything as the Drone's gun suddenly jams, unable to make the attack.

Unfortunately, the power of Misdirection doesn't work for melee attacks. "What... why? After what you've done, why do they protect you?!", Fallacy of Urist shouts, before raising his bats up. "DON'T!" is Bigger Fish's sudden yell. But it's too late. [2+2+2+2 v 1] The sheer power slams through Herzog's raised arm, and thus, that's what Fallacy targets. After his is finished, pieces of Herzog's left arm are strewn about the battlefield. Pale, and weak, a stiff breeze could probably finish off the wounded man, who is too damaged to speak.

[1] With machine like grace, Person races back out of the basement [1 v 4], dodging a large piece of wood that was coming straight for his metal skull. [4] He rushes out of the blaze, landing on the grass with his outfit catching fire. He turns his head to see a dead NRDL, and a gathering of Warriors.

OceanSoul, rolling her eyes lightly, steps forward herself. She raises her keyboard and begins to play a Liquidizing remix of "I'll Stop the World and Melt With You" by Modern English. [10 v 1] With a loud strum on the keys, magical energy suddenly radiates out of the machine. In seconds, flesh begins melting from Herzog. He does not scream, and there is little fanfare besides the music. Once the song is over, the man is now a puddle in the grass, his suit falling apart around him. The sheer magical energy, however, threatens to backfire on her. [3] She is unable to contain it, and she feels a pain unlike anything she has felt before. As the keyboard clatters to the ground, she looks down to realize, in her horror, that both of her arms had melted off.
OceanSoul has killed Herzog! OceanSoul has won!

A helicopter flies down, and Logan "Jaws" Sawyer is the only one to get out, walking over to the damaged young woman. "I don't suppose you know the drill, yet, so I'll keep this brief. You can either wish to affect the next match, affect the "mode" of the challenge, you can give them all specific articles, etc. Wish for a specific place, carry over some articles, basically, whatever you want is now yours.

Well, Chapter IV is finally over. Chapter V will come after the next Lore Update following the finale.

If there's any sort of legitimate problem with the ruling, I can look at the turn and see if it was really fair.

If that was entirely in-character...the game just came back from hiatus, and that feeling of "I can't let anybody down" is incredibly strong at the moment. Sorry for assuming.

Awesome, awesome, but we have a problem: What do we do if OceanSoul doesn't come back? It's been sixteen days (I think) since Chapter IV ended, and...nothing.

Should we give the victory to someone else? Or are there any other suggestions?

Doleus is actually quite accurate, he has been gone exactly one month at the time of this post, only if you live on the American continent or an island on the east pacific anyway, if you live in Europe or Asia then its a month and a day.

Hmm, fair point.

Dolosus and Failbird were just as close, but Joe redirected their attacks. On the other hand, Fallacy actually did hit the second time, and the first hit, he did kill NRDL.

So, all in favor for passing the torch to Fallacy? All opposed?

I think it'd be neat to see a fight of Herzog's defenders versus Herzog's attackers. Maybe with some eldritch article/power for the defenders related to Herzog's abilities since the people who defended Herzog would be outnumbered. And maybe a small ability or item from the Operator for the people who attacked Herzog, so everybody has something new to play with.

That is certainly an interesting idea. I will consider it.

And since the game is finally returning to the swing of things with the talk of the upcoming battle: Thank you for 100 pages, 1496 (1495 without the post you're reading) replies, and 41,146 views! This is insane. When I started this, I had no idea I'd reach these stats or this page number. It's amazing, and I'm glad to see that even after my break from Forum Games, there are still people playing and reading. It means a lot.

(Side Note: By the time this game ends, and who knows when that will be, people reading through the thread will be tearing their hair out over the Archive Panic. Amazing.)

I've actually thought about that. Yes, new people may join. Your character sheet will be different then the one you get in Chapter V, though, so if you get a nice ability here, you won't have it next Chapter.

On one hand, I didn't really end up doing much that round. So it'd be nice to have a proper go at the competition. On the other, it feels weird from an rp stand point for some reason. Dunno why. Ah, what the hell why not.

Sign me up for this battle with the same sheet I had in the round. Probably don't need to say that but hey may as well. Put me in as a Herzog defender if applicable I suppose?

Chapter IV.V: Duel of the Runner Ups
Team Deathmatch
Part 0: SSD
What Remains of Geist Des Todes Manor, Near the Abisko Research Station, Sweden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abisko_Scientific_Research_Station)
Late Night, Starting to Rain, 7/23/2016

At first, the silence of the winner of the fourth battle was thought to be normal, a silent thought of what this newfound power would accomplish for them. But no, I was just wasting my damn time. "Um, Jess?" asked Jaws, before he dispelled the cloak allowing Jess Warner to peek in on it. OceanSoul was standing there, a glazed look in her eyes as drool fell onto the ground around her. It took him a second, but Jess recognized this. "Oh, my God," he said, "She just SSD'd" Confused, Jaws turned to him and asked "SSD?" to which Jess responded "Sudden Space Death, or something like that. It happens on Nanotrasen ships all the time. She just turned more derpy than the pony and there's no hope for recovery."

"Well, what do we do now?" asked Jaws. Jess said "Simple. We split the runner ups into teams based on whether or not they sympathized with him, and whoever kills the most assholes wins." And with a nod, Jaws waved his hand past the competitors. The ones for Herzog's life (including the still very-much dead NRDL) were given a blue armband depicting the family crest of the Geist Des Todes family, which appeared to be a hippogriff surrounded by green flame. Meanwhile, those who wanted to kill Herzog were given a red band depicting an illustration of The Operator, showing him hovering over the corpse of a human as purple souls flew around him. "And for that Pirate bloke?" asked Logan, pointing to Pirate Joanna. After a second, Jess said "Just make him-slash-her a neutral party. Easier that way." And so, PirateJoe got their own armband, purple in color. It depicted the Operator again, though this illustration was different. It depicted him with slicked-back hair as opposed to his spikes, and a brown trenchcoat instead of a torn lab coat. Instead of levitating, this version of them was standing before another human, the souls floating around both of them as equals.

"Okay, need to get something out of the way! When I first thought of this contingency plan, I expected to just give you the same articles and let you fight in the location of the battle. However, given how there are six of you, plus a seventh dude pulled from our pods to balance it out, we've decided to make it a mini-battle instead. So, new articles, new location. Whoever gets the most kills is the one who gets the wish, but you are on teams the whole way through. So, work with your team, or I'll kill you myself."

And with that, the participants were transported off.

Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapala,_Jalisco)
Midday, Sunny, 7/23/2016

Soon, the now-seven Wiki-Warriors were dragged out to a town in Mexico, a country untouched by the battling before them. But now, that shall change...

BSN: Yeah, I decided to do new articles and a new map instead. I was already going to give Giga a different character sheet in Chapter V, and I was like "Should I do that for everyone else?" And then I thought "Well, there's six others. I don't see why not."

Sorry to spring that on you, but I hope you like the abilities you've been granted. TO THE SHEETS!

Sneak off. Try to find a secluded place with no Wiki-Warrior in sight. If my allies and my enemies are in sight right now, send my Viking to aid in the fight, otherwise, have him come with me. Once I'm hidden...

You have to travel to the actual altar, but due to the powers the Articles are animated with, it is on Earth and not still on Hyrule. You do have to find it, but perhaps there are maps or something else. Or it could be very close by.

Chapter IV-2: Duel of the Runner Ups
Team Deathmatch
Part I: Teamwork in Droves
Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapala,_Jalisco)
Midday, Sunny, 7/23/2016

The first one to act in what was sure to become a chaotic day in the abandoned town of Chapala was Fallacy of Urist, who looked at everyone involved, besides his allies, with a manic gaze like a berserker in a fearsome rage. Turning on his heel, he tried to run away from the people, where no one could see him. [10] He ducks into a nearby building, which is a storefront with shelves upon shelves of booze. Lying prone against the wood floor, laying behind the counter, he could tell that no one had noticed on instinct alone. [+2 to Stealth] Following close behind was his Viking companion, Vegar Trygstad, who crouched behind the counter as well. Mustering forth his ability to call upon cartoons and anime of an Italian cartoon block, he focused in to try and obtain a certain item: a Power Ring of Willpower [1] However, his gaze was broken away as the commotion of the other Warriors springing forth distracted him. "Hah! No matter. he though, as he tried again, this time to obtain a suit of powered armor. [3] He gets as far as conjuring the right gauntlet before his fragile warrior's concentration is snapped away again. But this is still a triumph. [+Lexcorp Powered Gauntlet (Plasma-Based Energy Blaster. 100/100, Short Reload. No Magazines;Overheating)]

With a sigh as to the loss of his power to redirect projectiles, PirateJoe nevertheless perked back up as the sun bore down on him. Though, the reasoning behind that may have been less of his purpose, and more of the fact that the wax doll of Elvis was busy doing all his Elvis-isms. "Uh-huh, baby! Synth-Elvis has returned to the building for his sandwich!" he says, posing like...well, Elvis. Turning his attention to the higher priority, the Synth-hating animal tamer Dolosus Doleus, he breathed in slowly. Time seemed to slow around Dolosus as Joe took aim with his service revolver. [1 v 5] Sadly, even with the advantage a slower time-frame would allow, Joe still aims to the right slightly too far. Firing, he not only misses Dolosus, but he helplessly watches as the bullet smacks into, and swiftly bounces off of, the elephant's hide. Dolosus turns with a murderous glare as time returns to normal.

Despite the fact that some moron just shot his elephant in the thigh, Dolosus Doleus wasn't one to stray from the plan. Eyeing the building Fallacy went into, Dolosus swiftly climbs up and mounts the elephant, preparing to trample anyone who discovered the hiding place.

While still relatively Green, Failbird did have some experience under his belt from the battle before hand. He raced to his car, starting the ignition and revving the automobile up. Pleased, he walked back to his horse and smacked it, intending to get it to trample PirateJoe, who sat there stunned as smoke left the barrel of his gun. [7] The horse got the right idea and sped off towards Joe, galloping towards him. Meanwhile, Failbird dove back into his car, intending to pin the Pro-Herzog members in. [9 v 8][2] The horse barrels towards Joe, who reacts just fast enough to not be crushed. He is, however, clipped by the animal, and is sent sprawling to the ground. Meanwhile, Failbird drives to the Pro-Herzog, only for his foot to miss the break. Overshooting, he finally hits it just in time to avoid a crash, but he's too late as they begin to scatter.

Huddling together, GigaGiant tells the rest of his team about an idea he has upon being given sight over his opponents' abilities. "Okay, so that Fallacy guy, right? With that ability o' his, he can conjure up some powerful stuff. Dangerous stuff. So, we gotta take him down. Here's th' plan.". Explaining his suggestion, the rest agree as Person hands over his pickaxe. Firstly, however, they have to find Fallacy. [4 v 1+2] Some subtle traces of footprints lead to a bar, and so Person and his associate Michael Esping raise their guns and Prepare to fire when they see him.

Picking up on the idea, NRDL rushes over to the storefront, only to feel the earth rumble beneath his feet. Turning to his right, he suddenly sees an Elephant barreling towards him! [7 v 7] Just in time, NRDL rushes into the store as the Elephant charges past. Looking around the store, he tries to pinpoint Fallacy's precise location. [4 v 6+2] However, due to the angle Fallacy presses himself into, NRDL makes out that someone is behind the counter. He does not realize it's Fallacy, however, as his suspicions are seemingly granted by only The Viking, who stands before NRDL with an angry glare.

Rushing forward to aim NRDL, GigaGiant hauls ass to the bar and rushes in, seeing the Viking. Before aiding, he himself searches for Fallacy. [6 v 4+2] Judging by the Viking's position, he does deduce that Fallacy is close, but he doesn't actually spot him. Shrugging it off, he rushes towards the Viking with the pickaxe in hand. [10+2 (Physical Strength) v 9] Suddenly, he slams through the helmet and flesh of Vegar, stabbing the blade of the pickaxe straight through his cheek, the force popping teeth and tendons apart. Vegar is stunned and stumbles about as the blade is pulled out of his cheek.

Again, Vegar is stunned. The force of the blow winded him, and so he stumbles, seemingly drunk off the sudden pain.

"Wanna do something with us, good sir?" comes the nasally voice of Wax-Lincoln, directed towards PirateJoe.

BSN: Sorry if this seemed sloppy. I'm a bit rusty with the first turn of a Chapter.

Chapter IV-2: Duel of the Runner Ups
Team Deathmatch
Part II: Conflict of Interests
Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapala,_Jalisco)
Midday, Sunny, 7/23/2016

Still stunned from the blow, the groggy Viking Vegar Trygstad stumbles on his feet while clumsily clutching his sword. Taking the opportunity, GigaGiant readies another strike with his pickaxe, aiming at his center mass. [1 v 2] Still groggy, Vegar weakly blocks the strike with his shield, which slams through the material despite not hurting him. With that in mind, though, GigaGiant moves in to grapple, aiming to take his weapons. [9 v 4] [6 v 1] Giant easily wrests control over Vegar's sword and shield, twisting them away from him. Giant holds them in his hands, sheathing away the pickaxe.

Peeking through the sleeves of her jacket, NRDL's rats sniff blood and fear in the air, and they begin anxiously squeaking. NRDL looses her sleeve up, letting them free to sniff out the enemy. [6+2 (Scent)] The rats move in behind the desk, spotting Fallacy as he presses himself back against the desk. [6 v 10] Before the rats can attack, Fallacy uses his reflexes to fire off a bolt of the plasma [7 v 5], which takes out three of the rats. The sound of this has given away his position, however, so when Fallacy rises up on instinct, NRDL takes the opportunity to punt her volleyball at him. [2+2 v 2] While Fallacy is smacked with the volleyball, he is mostly just bruised.

The first thing Fallacy wants to do is return to stealth. After all, not only was his position compromised by rats, but if his abilities get Adapted out, who knows how screwed he is? So, the first thing he does is attempt to bolt upstairs. [4] While he is successful in making it up, the layout of the bar distracting NRDL, the rats are still chasing him. Turning back, Fallacy fires [3 v 4], but the blasts whiffs them and blows a hole in the wooden floor. While Fallacy is away from having his abilities adapted away, there is still the rats to worry about. So, here comes the summoning. [9] First, he focuses on his power to bring in a certain antagonist. Out of nowhere, a butcher suddenly appears before him, brandishing a bandolier of meat (and meat by-products). He waves his hand and shouts "SALAMI!", and all of a sudden, salami cutlets burst forth towards the rats. [2 v 8] The rats, however, are unfazed, dodging the meat with no care. Fallacy then attempts to summon in the Power Ring. [5] And he manages to get one, though he is unable to use it as the rats gang up on him.

Dolosus Doleus, and his elephant that an ear-tag helpfully names as "Mikey," stand watch over the entrance. If anyone tries to enter, they will be trampled. (Action Prepared)

Climbing back to his feet, Joe sighed with frustration before turning to his Synths. "Yes, actually. How about you try and disable the car of Failbird, if you can disable the breaks and maybe make it keep accelerating when the gas pedal is stepped on, that would be nice," he whispers, making sure to add the addendum of "Of course, wait until Fail has left his car before you try and do that." Nodding, the Synths watch as Joe takes aim with his revolver once again. [4 v 7] He fires, but the bullet goes off center and slams into the building itself. Dolosus scowls at Joe, but keeps watch at the entrance.

[8+3 v 3] [5 v 9] Suddenly, a musketball smashes through a window, blowing through Vegar's skull and blowing chunks of brain and sprays of blood out of the back of his head. He falls onto his back, killed instantly by the round. After Michael nods in confirmation of the kill, the two leave their post and go after Vegar and Fallacy, only to hear rumbling come from their left. [4 v 9] [10 v 3] Person turns just in time to see Dolosus's elephant crush Michael's legs, as he was closer to Dolosus. Person jumps out of the way just in time, as the elephant is pulled away via it's own momentum. Person only has a second to react before hearing Michael's pained cries. His legs are snapped apart, bone cutting through flesh and his ankles twisted. Out of an autonomous sense of goodness, he attempts to pull Michael closer to the building. [7] Pulling him up by the arms, Person drags Michael to an outside wall.

Still within his car, Failbird turns his sights on the furthest competitor from him, that being PirateJoe, who continues to take potshots at his teammate. He speeds towards Joe. [1+2 v 4] Hearing the commotion, Joe leaps out of the way of the car, sending it speeding away. Pushing on the brakes, the car stops, but Joe is still fine.

BSN: To answer your question, Failbird: Yes, so long as you go in first.

Again, apologies for the delay. When things went well, there were distractions. It was a whole thing.

((Hello, folks. Here's an update. A lot happened since I updated the game last. I was busy with a lot of things, like my birthday, sickness, family trouble, etc. And when nothing was going on, I was usually doing my own thing and didn't like forcing myself to update this.

I'm sorry, really, but I have to have some assertiveness: I can't force myself to update. Yes, if updates take months every single time, no one's going to play the game and get updates out. But I also don't feel like forcing updates.

In addition, I was recently struck with inspiration for Chapter V, and it made me realize that I'd much rather get to Chap. V (and it's proceeding Lore Post), rather than continue with the Chapter IV continuation. Yes, I know it's important to decide a winner. That's why I want your input on it.))

With regards to choosing a winner, you could go for your first idea:

Hmm, fair point.

Dolosus and Failbird were just as close, but Joe redirected their attacks. On the other hand, Fallacy actually did hit the second time, and the first hit, he did kill NRDL.

So, all in favor for passing the torch to Fallacy? All opposed?

I'm not sure how else you could do it, if you want to get it done immediately.

Looking forwards to Chapter V.

Yep, Instagib. Classic Unreal Tournament rules: One Hit Kills. And the kills make the enemy explode into gore.

It'll get it over with quickly, but because it needs a successful Attack roll, it doesn't come down to one singular random dice roll. It comes down to multiple. Which is the whole point of Forum Games in a nutshell.

Chapter IV-2: Duel of the Runner Ups
Team Deathmatch
Part III: Scary Monsters and Nice High-Heels
Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapala,_Jalisco)
Midday, Sunny, 7/23/2016

As the rats scurry their way towards Fallacy and The Butcher, panic begins to set in. These rats are hungry for blood, and there is no telling whether or not they are diseased. So, thinking on his feet, he attempts his summoning power on getting the high heels of one Carmen Sandiego. [7] Before they can get there, The Butcher stands before him, arms crossed. A bright white flash brings with it the insanely fashionable jet fuel-using high heels (They were purple? I think?), and so Fallacy slips them on. [4] Unfortunately, purple isn't his color. Doesn't affect anything besides his mood, of course. Shrugging, Fallacy rushes to the window, and leaps out of it, clicking his heels in mid-air. [6] They activate well-enough, and so Fallacy heads to Failbird's location. When over him, he waves his hands [4] and summons the Batmobile. But in spite of the logic of how his power works, he still somehow gave Failbird the Batmobile from Batman and Robin instead of Justice League: Unlimited. How? Stop thinking so hard. It'll make your brain hurt.

With an annoyed sneer, Dolosus looks away from the crumpled British soldier and the Swedish Wiki-Warrior aiding him, and yells to Pirate Joe "You mind knocking that off? I'd ask you to shoot yourself, but you'd probably still miss!". With that said, he backs up, and then kicks the side of the elephant, hoping to spook it into charging them. [1+2 (Animal Training)] However, the elephant doesn't seem willing to budge at all. Dolosus can hear it's stomach rumble, and the elephant makes a little moan of hunger, indicating that it doesn't want to charge on an empty stomach.

"S-Sir! Ah!" screams Michael, squirming in pain against the wall as Dolosus death glares them from across the street. Furious, Person stands up, and wraps his hands around his Zwei Fasser, prepared to kill. [3+2 v 5] Walking with a smirk hiding sheer rage, Person aims up and fires into the elephant's head. While it doesn't kill the elephant, pellets do slams through it, sending the elephant into a pain-filled shock. [9+2 (Animal Training)] And yet, not only does Dolosus manage to calm it with scratches to the ear and gentle whispers, but now it feels proper motivated to charge Person. [1 v 1] Proper motivation, however, does not mean they are capable of charging effectively. In it's pain, the elephant instead trips on it's own feet, crashing onto it's side on the ground. Person pre-emptively leaps away, thus looking like an idiot as he lands face-first on the asphalt for nothing.

Clutching his sword tightly in his hand, GigaGiant gets pumped up and rushes up the stairs, arriving just in time to see Fallacy jump out the window. With a groan, GigaGiant simply raises his shield as The Butcher makes his way up.

"Okay, how does this work?" NRDL asks, summoning forth his fighting spirit, "Erm, is it a Stand with a body? Shouldn't there be some sort of punchy-ghost, or-HNRK?!" Suddenly, he can feel his body twist and contort. His skin feels scalier, claws burst from his fingers, his teeth grow sharper, and soon, he completely transmutes. He becomes a Deinonychus antirrhopus, his sickle claw tapping the wood floor, and immediately rushes up the stairs. With his agility, he instead decides to leap for Fallacy of Urist, flying out of the window. [3+2 (Deinonychus Agility)] He makes it to a neighboring rooftop, close to where Fallacy is hovering with the Batmobile. Leaping again [6+2], he manages to make the distance. [10 v 5] With a hard bite, he sinks his teeth into Fallacy's shoulder, spilling blood and pain away from him. With a gasp, Fallacy begins frantically flying. [3-2 (Distracted with Pain)] He is unable to stay up, and they begin crashing. [10] [7] Knowing what's going to happen, Fallacy properly braces himself, while NRDL heads towards the ground without protection. Fallacy rolls into it, staying unharmed from the fall, which crushing the crashed NRDL [10 v 7], snapping his ribs under the pressure.

With a groan, PirateJoe looks away in contemplation, only to turn back as Failbird drives quickly towards his Batmobile. "Actually, If you get the chance and this works, instead of disabling the breaks on his car, beat the crap out of him, or distract him. Your choice." Gaining the idea, Joe activates his bullet time, and leads the bullet ahead of the tire. [4] The bullet slams into the rubber, throwing off Failbird. In spite of that, he can still regain control. [9] And he manages to come to a stop just in time to be next to the Batmobile. Joe's hands begin shaking in anger.

Failbird takes a deep breath before hurriedly rushing towards his Batmobile.

The rats charge towards the Butcher, their teeth bared. [8 v 7] They begin nibbling on his ankles, but The Butcher doesn't seem to care. He walks towards GigaGiant, summoning a sausage as a bat. [4 v 10] Swinging, he suddenly hits the shield, throwing him off enough for GigaGiant to retaliate. [9 v 7] He swings, slashing through his cheek, spilling his blood on the rat.

Michael Esping, breathing hard in pain, reloads his musket.

BSN: So, that was a thing. LET'S DO THIS!

As a spectator, I think that this round seems to be taking a looong time compared to the first two.

Maybe we could try doing something to encourage people to speed up the round or something? Like some form of disaster happening that's localized entirely within the arena, which gets closer to the center as the round goes on?

Anyways, I'd like to enter the waitlist.

Chapter IV-2: Duel of the Runner Ups
Team Deathmatch
Part IV: Pain and Gain
Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapala,_Jalisco)
Afternoon, Sunny, 7/23/2016

With a heavy sign, Joe closes his eyes and shakes his head of stress. Clear irritation passed through his brain, and he felt his muscles tense up as Failbird exits his car. One last chance before he enters the vehicle of the one bat, with the tools he requires. He aims down the sights, and fires at the engine. [8] The bullet slams through the hood of the car, igniting oil and burning through metal as the bullet ruptures the engine block. Failbird leans it to turn off the engine, but it's too late: a fire emerges from inside the hood. [3 v 8] Failbird leaps into the air in alarm and runs just in time as the car detonates, sending shrapnel and fire every which way. Failbird looks back [8], and is relieved to see that, besides scuffing the paint, the Batmobile is fine.

Dolosus Doleus yells at the elephant, trying to coerce it to stand in spite of the pain, [7+2] and rouses it. It stands back up, and honks it's horn in defiance as it charges back towards Person. [2 v 3] Person barely makes it out of the way of the charge, feeling skin smack asphalt as the elephant misses him, though the momentum carries it to poor Michael Esping. [1 v 6-2 (No Mobility)] Unfortunately, the wall Michael's leaning on still exists, and the elephant smacks into it, sending it back. No damage is incurred, aside from a rude ringing in it's ears.

Through heavy breathing and shattered ribs, the still Deinonychus-like NRDL grimaces as it tries to muster the energy to work through the pain. [8] And it does! Despite the wheezing and coughing, NRDL stands on his hind legs, clacking and tapping his vicious claw against the ground before charging straight for Fallacy! [4 v 1] Despite an awkward angle, NRDL still manages to catch Fallacy off guard, leaping up and digging a terrible claw against his bleeding shoulder. More blood pours out, staining the ground as Fallacy grows noticeably paler.

Bursting out through the doorway, GigaGiant rushes towards Fallacy of Urist, sword held high as he yells in defiance. [10 v 7] While he doesn't catch the insta-kill heart stab, he does stab straight his chest anyway. With a loud gasp, Fallacy grows even paler as he begins losing a heavy, worrying amount of blood. Not helped by Giant then roughly shoving the sword back out, sending Fallacy sprawling to the ground.

In spite of the pain and copious blood loss, Fallacy still waves a hand over NRDL attempting to summon an ultimate attack: the DINOSAUR TRAIN! ...I thought putting it in all-caps would make it cooler, sue me. [2-2 (Blood Loss/Injuries)] Not only does he not summon the train, but attempting to use his power in this state has only increased the amount of blood-loss, hastening his end by two turns! He resolves not to use this power until he can escape.

Wasting no time, Failbird leaps in and begins driving away.

Also wasting no time, Person reloads his Zwei Fasser with a scowl, and slowly approaches the elephant. [8 v 5] He aims both barrels towards the head of the giant, and pulls both triggers. Blood and small bits of skull erupt as the elephant rears back [10], but it is not only calmed by Dolosus, but it also directs it's pain as rage. [5 v 5] It throws it's trunk out, but misses Person by miles! The elephant is bleeding out heavily, but it clearly won't go down easily.

[3 v 1] Suddenly, Dolosus gets a bullet through the forearm, sending pain sprawling through him! Michael's musket smokes as he himself grimaces in agony. "S-Sir!", he gags out, "Maybe if the rider dies, the damned beast will get spooked and run off!

Joe's Wax Dummies immediately race after the Batmobile.

BSN: Well, luckily, it was a shorter hiatus.

I do have to apologize for their being one, though. I was sick, as previously stated, but it also took me until today to feel like writing. Sorry. Hopefully, I haven't continued to disappoint.

Yes, indeed, and while it was something I didn't think of, there actually is a good reason: the Viking sword would probably have been forged to pierce Viking armor. Rivaling parties and similar armor consistency across their enemies.

So, in the case of GigaGiant's pilfered sword: no, your armor won't protect against it as effectively.

Chapter IV-2: Duel of the Runner Ups
Team Deathmatch
Part V: Falling Away From Me
Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapala,_Jalisco)
Afternoon, Sunny, 7/23/2016

[9 v 2-2 (Injuries)] As Fallacy pitifully rises up on both hands, coughing up blood onto the grass, he suddenly feels cold breath at the top of his head. With what's left of his strength, he sees NRDL, still a Deinonychus, growling at him. He spits blood at NRDL in defiance, but he doesn't even flinch. He nods his head in respect, and quietly says "Clever girl..." NRDL pounces, ripping his throat out with ease. With limbs spasming and blood fling everywhere, Fallacy lets out one last pitiful gasp before he passes, NRDL chewing on more meat as he does.
Fallacy has become Dino Food! NRDL gets:
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Shaytan: +Ally: Shaytan (Abilties: Agi and Shipani)

Loading each shell in with a grimace, Person stares up at Dolosus Doleus and cocks his head to the side. He throws his wrist back, closing off the chamber, before leveling it at Dolosus with fiery vengeance in his heart. [9+2 v 9] In spite of the element of surprise, only possible from Dolosus's gaze being fixated on his elephant, the shells still don't kill him. Pellets hit his arms, causing blood to spurt from his shoulder, but Dolosus holds on.

In the midst of this, Dolosus manages to reclaim his foothold, turning the elephant to face Person. Now the elephant is showing his death glare off, staring at Person with the same vengeance he showed it. [2 v 4] But unfortunately for Dolosus, the elephant seemed hesitant even now, as blood ran down it's trunk. It charged forth with the same fury, but this time, it's foot missed by scant inches. Groaning in both pain and exasperation, Dolosus took a new approach. He threw Bennie Thompson off the elephant, and told him to kill Person instead. [4 v 4] But a mere politician can't match up to a military vet, and so every swing of the briefcase was met with a duck or sidestep.

Smirking, Joe holstered his firearm and glared down the Batmobile. Getting into a running position, Joe suddenly went after it. [Speed Check: 2] However, a mere mortal will have difficulties catching up to Batman's Car, so while he doesn't lose sight of it, he is very far behind it. He can't even find a good unarmored point to shoot.

Failbird continues driving, ignoring the running man behind him as he attempts to find a book store. [1] Unfortunately, he can't read Spanish, and even if he can tell from intuition that one of the buildings is a bookstore, they whip by too fast. But slowing down only makes it easier for Joe to catch up. Decisions, decisions...

((Auto'd)) GigaGiant paces about the place.

Michael Esping reloads his musket, grimacing in pain as he does.

[1 v 10] Bennie Thompson continues his battle, swinging his briefcase about the place. However, on a downward swing, Person bats it away, and counterattacks. [6 v 4] He simply punches him in the face, but that's enough to draw blood from his weakened cheek.

BSN: When I say the hiatuses are over, then a promise is a promise.

As always, Fallacy, if you had a problem with your death, you may dispute it. And if you wish to return for Chapter V, then make sure to tell me, or else I can't put you in.

Can't really argue with those rolls, though I didn't get a chance to roll for willpower to use my power ring. Which should maybe activate at the speed of thought? It would be fitting, I mean, my voice color is green.

If not, though, oh well. That's how it goes. I'd love to go in for Chapter V.

That is...scarily similar to my current feelings and situation, yeah. Except that it's only been one month since this updated.

But yeah, updates: I went on semi-retirement earlier this month. Said it on Discord, but alas, not everyone uses that. Bad news: Coming back would mean cancelling this game, which is what I have to do, since I need to start fresh to relight my passion for this sort of thing.

Good news, however, is that I'm starting slow, and in a good way: a brand new Wiki-Warfare game, with it's own story and aesthetic, with the idea for the premise coming straight from roseheart. So, whether you're a current player, a classic player, a newbie, someone on the waitlist, or even an old legend like TCM: stay on the lookout. Because I'm coming back, and I want you all to join me, if you're interested.
