Literally Snails

Stone watched him walk away. She felt hopeless. And now, the questions. She needed to answer them, or else the robot wouldn't leave her alone. "Sole, he's a griphon" the unicorn said "I'm married to him. So he's my husband, and I plan on kids, hopefully." She explained.

"Statement: Cross species breeding is problematic. A unicorn and a griffin can not reproduce. Any attempts would both painful and utterly fruitless. You will never produce offspring." The Machine explained. He clearly had no understanding of social boundaries.

Unfortunately for you, my character is an honorable and righteous one. He's killed enough ponies for one lifetime. And they weren't all stallions, either. Quite a few murdered mares and foals.

 

So he'd prefer to keep it without blood. Hell, I even convinced Thunder to go nonlethal.

 

If I have my way, NO ONE dies. GOT IT?!

Too late. Standoff and Rut-Light are dead.

"So I'm going to be held against my will then.....which is....also against the law....." She said trying to be witty. She heard what the robot said. She was still mixed with feelings about that robot. Was it a friend or foe, only time will tell. He seemed nice so far. But she could be mistaken.

Rail stepped away. He had many important things to do.

 

The machine stepped in his place and spoke. "Inquiry: Stone Heart has a relationship with the subject: Sole. Subject Sole is DATA  FILES MISSING. Define, who is Sole. What is the nature of your relation?"

 

@@synangel,

 

"I really am sorry, but you can't leave yet. You'll have to wait until either Sole wins or is beaten. Not like you can move in your position either." Said Rail. Gatasubal stepped behind him.

 

"It requests follow up inquiries." It stated.

"Poor girl. You're just confused." Mason said. "You need someone to blame, so you picked me. I understand. But there's really nothing to be ashamed of. You did what you needed to do. I understand that. No one else will understand, but I do."

Controlling Rail, Topaz, Juri, Rune, Gatasubal, Mason, the audience, three other refs, and the engineering staff is pretty tiring, but I likes it.

@, @@Moonlight Fire

 

Masons going for the coveted sadistic bastard of the year award. Does he get your votes?

 

 

When the demon awakens there is no stopping it from destroying everything it sees.  Midnight Inferno appeared behind Topaz and quickly turned her around decapitated her with a hard punch from his left hoof, as her head flew off her body Midnight teleported into the air, grasped the head and immediately threw it at a random pony in the crowd and struck pony right in the chest.  The crowd was now in full on panic and was scattering everywhere to any exit they could find; in fear that they themselves might be next.  Midnight was still floating and as he rose his hooves into the air; all the exits were suddenly blocked off by bright orange flame preventing any escape.  "NONE SHALL LEAVE!  THIS ARENA SHALL BE YOUR GRAVES!!"  His voice boomed throughout the entire arena and shook it to it's very core, Midnight started to lower himself to the ground and began to do the unthinkable; he hopped into the stands and began slaughtering everypony in sight, those sparred were very few.

(Hahaha, no. No-one kills Topaz. That's like killing the GM himself. And this post itself is entirely pointless. You obviously aren't ready for this kind of rule based role-playing. You're disqualified. Dawnpath wins the fight. Sorry partner.)@

 

Midnight inferno layed down dead. The ref walked on the stage and grabbed Pella by the hoof, raising it high. "The winner of the match is solarium!"

As Whiplash gingerly picked her way through the hallways, she heard the sounds from the current fights going on. The pegasus began to go down unfamiliar hallways and twisting corridors, not entirely sure where she was headed. I hope I don't bump into anyone, she thought nervously.

"My, my, what do we have here?" Mason said. He walked out from the other side of the hallway cutting off her escape. "Whiplash! How perfect!" He said happily, "I wanted to get a chance to talk to you. I actually needed to warn you about something urgent. He hates you, you see, he really does."

Stones spine shivered as she heard that voice, that voice that brought her into this damn tournament. She knew he was behind this. Why she was tied up. But she wasnt angry. No, she was so scared. She was nervous. She couldn't fight nor conjour magic to fight. She was weak. And she was practically dead as it stands.

(To be honest, Rail is probably the least evil character I control aside from Topaz and Juri.)

 

"Don't be alarmed. You aren't going to be harmed. In fact, this is the only medical facility for miles. We're it not for me, you'd be dead. Of course, Mason has come to entertain himself by telling Sole that you are dead. He is truly a detestable creature, but that is to be expected considering what he is."

"Gatasubal, please!" An engineer interrupted.

"It prefers program."

"Program, she needs space." The engineer stepped between them. "I'm sorry, girl. Gatasubal SO is still being adjusted. He's too inquisitive for his own good."

"I think he's perfect." Said Rail as he entered the lab with a cigarette.

 

Rut-Light was ready as he'll ever be at the time, but his demon had other plans; he wanted to kill the opponent and slowly but surely he started to consume Rut-Light, as to assure that he shall not interfere. "You die this day...nothing of you shall remain but dust!" His voice became more and more distorted as the demon (Midnight Inferno) completely consumed Rut-Light but it wasn't just his voice that changed it was his physical appearance; his mane and tail turned a dark shade of red and black as his coat went black as night then bronze metal bands appeared on his front and back hooves. "Time for fresh meat!" He growled as he faded into the shadows as he waited for his time to strike.

"I didn't see this coming!" Topaz said. "Rut-Light has gone through some kind of super sexy transformation!"

Stone shrugged "I have no idea why I'm here.....and I don't think I need assistance.....or help....though...I would like to turn over....o-or get out of these restraints...." She said. But she soon coughed and her chest felt like it exploded, and soon her heart rate wasn't looking good. But it slowly rose up. Slowly. She felt so fatigued.

"Your restraints are deemed necessary. When your strength regains, you need to be a nullified factor." Gatasubal increased the dosage of pain killers in Stones I.V. Just enough to dull the pain. "It has encountered an unexpected complication." Gatasubal said. "Your name is: NO DATA FOUND. This is not correct."

Stone looked around. "I....I think... I think I might be dead..." She said painfully. Her eyes drew to the straps on her body keeping her on the bed and from moving. 'Why the straps....why am I here' she thought to herself. Everything was so confusing and she had no clue on what was going on.

"Statement: You have not answered its questions." The machine said. "Do you require assistance? Your heart rate is rising.I am aware of how weak you squishy creatures are. Trauma breaks you quite easily."

 

The engineers were starting to decompose themselves.

 

Stones vision became a little better with every second she was starting to make clear of every object, except for a red light. As she fluttered her eyes once more. She saw a robot thing coming towards her. She couldn't do much, she felt to weak to move. Or talk. "P-please....l-leave me alone...." She barely said.

"No." The machine said. "It requires inquiry. It has only been able to communicate with the engineering staff. They offer no stimulation. You are not as boring as they are." It stepped close enough to be seen.

 

"Observation: You are not an engineer. Inquiry: Why are you here?"

Rut-Light had heard his name get called, but he decided to ignore it for about a minute or two. Soon he finally decided to get up, get out of the lounge and go get into the appropriate arena, as he walked he counted the arenas until he hit #3 and he entered in one one side but the other side was empty, so he decided to wait for his opponent for the moment.

The ref looked over both contestants before he started talking. "Alright, I want a good, clean fight. That means no hitting below the belt! ...Ha ha, I'm just kidding. We don't have a rule like that. Do whatever you want. Ready. Set. GO!"

 

(Just so you know, the ref isn't Juri in this arena :3 )

Stones eyes fluttered slowly. Everything seemed blurry. But she couldn't make out anything that was around her. She looked around slowly, she felt weak, very weak. She could barely move....no she was strapped down. She coughed loudly, her lungs fel like they where on fire. And her mouth tasting of iron. She could hear voices and such though.

All of the scientists and engineers in the lab turned their focus to Stone. "Good God, she really was waking up!" The oldest scientist said.

 

There was an enormous machine behind them, it had a spherical body with a two meter diameter, two sets of thick tube-like arms and one pair short, thick legs. Its head was square and had a red blinking light.

 

The machine pushed the engineers aside in one sweeping notion. An engineer tried to stand up, but was stuck under a pile of his stunned colleges. "Someone stop Gatasubal!" He said, "She could be in shock, the machine will give her a heart attack!"

 

"It requires inquiry." The machine said.

(HEY HEY HEY, well incase you didn't see it she did say she will miss sole, I did post that whatevs)

 

Stone felt herself get pulled back. With every shock. Till she wasn't falling anymore. She wasn't falling, now she questioned the though if....if she was alive.

A voice was heard from nearby her unconscious form. "I think she's waking up!"

 

"Bullshit!" A grumpy sounding old voice replied. "That girl was stabbed in the heart. Nobody could wake up that quickly! Now come and help me with Gatasubal. We're having trouble uploading the AI."

 

"Right!"

@

(OoC: Sorry. Busy life.)

Swordpoint waited calmly. He had all the time in the world, and he certainly wasn't about to grow reckless. "Tell me, Thunder, from where do you hail?" That blade is dangerous, but my lance will certainly reach further. I hope that he will decide to avoid bloodshed.

"Come on, you two, get on with the fight!" The ref urged.

 

"Now this is a fight I'd hate to see stop, but love to watch end!" Said Topaz. "It looks like the former champ is about to make a move on his opponent!"

 

(There's a - in his name, Justin, that's why your mention didn't work. :3 )

A feeling of nervous excitement seemed to solidify in her gut hearing her name on the speakers.

 

"I'll try not to kill you, okay? You seem really nice...." said Nuclear quietly, before she made her way down to the arena.

 

The gray mare entered the arena, biting her lip at seeing all the ponies in the crowd. 'That's a lot of ponies....'

She shook her head and made herself stand up tall.

 

'I can do this...I can do this...May Trottenheimer allow my spells to be potent....' she thought, giving herself a mental pep talk.

Juri gingerly stepped onto the stage and looked at both fighters. "Okay, you're both here. So... let's start the fight. Ready. Set. Go!"

 

sole was quiet for a moment "cosmo..." he mumbled "thanks for the pep talk, but its pointless. Even if she is alive by some miracle then things like this will happen again. So regardless i'm gonna win this tournament and end it forever." He said, before turning back to mason "crawl back to your master and tell him what I said... tell him I'm coming for him after I win his damn tournament." He said seriously.

"You shouldn't talk about matters you don't understand." Said Mason with a smug grin. "... it makes you sound stupid. I'd stay longer, but your voice grows irksome." He retracted his head and was completely outside of the room.

Sole turned to face mason with a glare, tears streaming down his face. "Do I look like an idiot? I just saw the end of the match... she died a warrior." He said, before building more energy "I hold no I'll will against whiplash... you and your boss on the other hand are dead. And now I've got nothing left to lose, so I don't care if i'm disqualified or killed." He said adamantly "I swear I'll kill you and rail, and end this tournament myself!" He finished.

(You actually didn't see the match... and what the hell did Rail do again?)

 

"HA HA HA HA!" Mason jeered with tears of laughter. "Did you hear that? He says he doesn't care if he's disqualified! You really are so grief-struck that you've gone stupid! Don't you remember? Win the tournament and you can have anything you want. Anything!"

 

(She's not dead. Remember, Mason dragged her off. She's on life support but me no tell you where @@synangel,)

Jaqueline noticed Nuclear Neurotic and greeted back: "Yeah, I am. My name's Jaqueline, and I actually came here to see how strong I am among the best creatures in Equestria. But after seeing all that blood I would be totally okay with surviving. I guess you might be my first opponent, so I wish you luck" She smiled. 

 

@@ChristophR,

 

 

"Jaqueline and Nuclear Neurotic, please report to the first arena floor. You are on deck!" Said the speakers.

 

 

 

sole slowly stood but didn't turn around. Energy had begun to build around him, so powerful the ground around him began to crack and crumble."you... i'd start running bitch." He said darkly, as the air around them began to crackle with electricity "cuz if I catch you I swear on every fiber of my being I'll kill you." He promised.

"Unfortunately for you, killing me is quite complicated. You don't wont to go ruining your chances of getting what you want, do you? I'm not the one who killed her, you know. Just ask anyone who saw the match!" Two fleshy tendrils came out from his body and formed into lifelike, colored puppets. One looked like Stone Heart, the other like Whiplash. "Heres the little story. One day Stone heart was very scarred because she was in a dangerous fight and she is too weak to defend herself. She needed Sole to save her, but he was nowhere to be seen. Whiplash decided to kill her, because she was very weak and deserved to die!" A third tendril came out and pierced the Stone Heart puppet in the heart. Blood flowed down her body. "Whiplash was very happy to kill her, and with her final breath, she cursed Sole, because he wasn't there and he let her die!"

Sole walked into the loung, and was confused to see crimson walking away from a monitor with his hat over his eyes. "Dude, what's wro-" he was cut off as he heard crimson say she... "no..." he mumbled, as he walked over to the monitor crimson was veiwing, to see the end of stone and whiplash's match. "No... no no no no... NNOOOOOOOOOO!!" He roared out in pure anguish at the loss of his love. He had now truly lost everything...

"Isn't that so sad." Mason's unmistakable voice said. His head was in the room, but his body was still in the hallway. His neck had stretched out several yards. "I might even shed a tear. A single tear. This is just so moving. He-he-he-he!" A grin swept across his face. (it's the puppy apocalypse!) "Tragedy is really my favorite form of comedy. Look at this, a griffon crying! It's like an amusing joke, really."

 

(For those of you wondering, every time Mason smiles, a puppy dies. He's smiled five times now.)

As sole watched his friend take controle and disappear, he cursed "no! You idiot, come back!" He said in annoyance "dammit... I just scared my friend to god knows where, and wasted all the energy for nothing... great." he mumbled, as he turned back to normal "I guess I win..." he said, as he turned and left the arena, unaware of stone's fate.

Juri was huddled up against the side of the stands sleeping with the tip of her tail in her mouth. She had been so scared that she passed out as an escape.

 

"Juri!" Topaz called. "It's time to wake up and announce Sole as the winner!" Juri didn't respond. "... All of the cute boys are watching!"

 

Juri opened her eyes and popped her tail out of her mouth. "Huh?" she mumbled.

 

"Well, we see where your motivation lies."

 

Juri picked up her mic. "Okay, well... Tempest is gone and won't be back by ten, so the winner by ring out is Sole!"

 

Crimson nodded and grinned, "of course I am! After all Rail, everything deserves a chance to live, me, the audience, the other contestants...even you...you may be trying to destroy equestria now, but ponies change...I have a few freinds who haven't always been exactly kind...yet now their alive and have more than made up for their crimes...so why can't you do the same?" Asked crimson.

 

"Because I can't. I must find atonement for far more than my own actions. The world deserves what I have to offer! Have you seen an invading army murder a foal in front of its mother, or a mother in front of a foal? Innocent stallions standing in mile long lines waiting to pick up the uniform they'll be killed in? Bandits gathered around a village after a raid, dancing on the bodies of the dead as their bones crumble beneath their feet, singing happy songs!? Protect them if that is what you want."
