Literally Snails

Eyup, The tournament committee is now Rail and six dead guys.

(Dis post relevant to the main story line.)

 

The Tournament Committee didn't ever replace Big Shot. Instead it was left with six members, which wasn't a problem since all of their votes seemed to be unanimous. They were in a private box overlooking all four stadiums drinking and betting, when Rail and The security head, Mason entered the room.

 

"Huh, Rail! What are you doing here?" One member, an old earth pony asked.

 

"Never mind that!" The only female member interrupted. "This stallion's Net worth is worth three times Equestria's gross product! Let's ask him the question that's on everypony's mind."

 

"Yes, What do you intend to do with all that money?" Another executive asked. "You could rent the whole damn continent if you wanted to!"

 

Rail smiled. "I intend to do something a little bigger." he said.

 

"Oh! Well, do tell!" The oldest member asked.

 

"Unfortunately, I can't. You see, there just isn't enough time. Ive decided to hire myself into the tournament committee, and in a matter of seconds, I will be its only member."

 

"What! You're firing us!" the mare asked.

 

"No. You're just going to be dead."

 

"You are screwing with us!"

 

Rail lit a cigarette. "Why not? I already killed Big Shot, and Penny Pincher. Or did you think Swordpoint was responsible for the latter one."

 

One executive reached for a panic button. "Not this time, you psycho! I'm calling security!"

 

Mason stepped forward. "But security is already here." He said. Six sharp, fleshy tendrils shot out from his face and legs, one for each tournament committee member. They each pierced a different forehead, and all six of the former high rollers fell dead.

 

"If I were a betting Stallion, I would wager that things are about to go exactly as planned."

 

"If?"

 

"Well, I just killed all of my betting partners."

 

 

 

(Question, what is the floor made out of?)

 

(concrete)

 

@@Moonlight Fire,

 

 

The ref made eye contact with both contestants. "Okay... Ready... Set... FIGHT!!!"

@@synangel,  @, @@Justin ZW, @@Moonlight Fire,

 

 

"Whiplash and Stone Heart, Report to the Third arena floor!"

 

"Thunder Dash and Swordpoint, Report to the Fourth arena floor!"

 

 

 

Tempest smirked and expanded his aura completely, blocking the attack. "Thousand needle spread." He thought, as hundreds of spikes shot out from the shield, taking out most of the shadow clones. "That technique is useless, if your enemy has a attack that can hit multiple targets." He thought.

 

Ivy smirked as she watched Tempest. "This should be over soon, though I'm worried about Tempest. "I haven't seen him like this."

"I can hardly bare to watch Ponies!" Topaz commented, "On one hoof, this is a totally exciting fight! But on the other hoof, I can't stand to watch so many clones of that perfectly sculpted, griffon body get destroyed!"

 

The ref, Juri, was huddled up against the stadium in a fettle position.

Her dream changing abilities are now told more clearly in the "Other"-Section. Hope It's clear enough now.

I'll approve her as number sixteen. But dont expect her opponents to be sleeping!

Can I still join? I heard you got enough pegasi, so I needed some time to create a second OC XD. If there is still a free place, I would now like to join with my new unicorn:

P.S if its ok should I start already caught up with the story or what?

  

@,

 

It's fine if she can't be in it.

 

(I say that the character limiiiiiit suuucks sooooo baaaaaaaad)

Sorry to get back so late! I'm approving you both. Be sure to read the first post and the most recent posts to help get caught up!

Altair spun as it was hit, the guard acting as the fulcrum before taking a position in front of Cosmo. A burst of Telekinesis hit Standoff, keeping him in the air even longer. Without taking his eyes off the grappling hook, Cosmo asked the ref, "Is his 10 sec timer going right now? I remember some pony said the timer only starts when he touches something solid outside the ring but they weren't clear for something like this..."@

"Um..." The ref was shuffling through the pages of the rule book.

 

"More incompetence on the field." Topaz scoffed. "If anyone upstairs is keeping record, I do have the entire rule book memorized!"

 

The ref made a decision. "Um, Standoff is now back in the ring, so no penalty is given! Continue the fight!"

(For the record, Secret Agent Snails read your OC before the match and knew all of those things. Rune is just a dumbass. If I wanted to win, I would have used storm of Torment when you went into Voidstar. :3 )

 

"Hahaha! What could you possibly hope to... Wait. What was the second thing again?" Rune was enveloped in flames, then an earth shattering explosion.

 

Almost cartoonishly, this didn't kill him. When the flames dissipated, he was still standing upright with a dumbfounded expression. He had used his immense energy reserves to keep himself alive... Barely. "I swear to ass, I'm gonna kick your God!" He said weakly. He stumbled around and plopped down, unconscious.

 

The ref came out of hiding again and walked over to Rune. He poked Rune in the flank with his microphone and got no response. "Well, it seems that Rune is pretty much incapacitated making Crimson Grinn the winner!"

Crimson looked up at the oncoming giant tendril with slight amusemant, grinning insanily, "god...tch...bitch please...YOUR NO GOD!! NOW SHUT UP AND DIE LIKE THE MORTAL YOU ARE FREAK!! VOIDSTAR!!" Shouted crimson before the tendril slammed down on him. After a few moments of silence, the crowd gasped in shock as they saw crimson covered in a black, flame-like aura, completely unharmed, in fact, the giant tendril didn't even phase him, he merely stood there with the tendril ontop of him, with a twisted grin, "didn't feel a thing...and guess what? It gets worse! FLAMING CRICKET DEATH BOMBS!!" Yelled crimson as he tossed off the tendril, before the fireball from earlier exploded, sending flaming crickets all over the arena, and many on rune's body. Crimson smirked evilly, "check mate..." said crimson before all of the crickets exploded.

((Bet ya didn't see that one comin did ya?! Lol, but seriously, its in his list of powers, just look at his OC page bro!))

(on the contrary, you did exactly what I wanted faster than I thought you would) Run slammed all four hooves on the stadium and gasped. For a while he was worried, then his confidence grew back. He spun around, slowly at first, then at impossible speeds, drilling strait down into the stadium, underground before the Crickets exploded. The ref poked out from hiding. "Does that count as a ring ou-oh my god!!" Earth and clay shot out from the hole and Rune emerged covered in a thick plate of earthen armor. "So that's voidstar." He said. "Pretty neat. I've heard all about it. Can't wait to try it myself!"

 

"For the love of celestia! Run away!" An audience member yelled. Most of the stadium scrambled to get to the nearest exit.

 

Rune assumed a widespread stance and let the same dark aura swirl around him. "Voidstar! This may be my favorite technique! I am a god now. You're at your peak power. You've used up all of your tricks and I still have a hundred and counting! What are you gonna do? Throw fire balls at me? Give up now and I'll spare you your dignity."

The tendrils moved as if they were independent creatures and enveloped the fire ball. Rune detached them from his mouth and they formed together into one thick tentacle with the fireball still inside the tip. "Psychic silk Thread." Rune said. "It's made of pure energy in physical form. Each thread is stronger than an armored truck. Imagine getting hit by fifty!!!!" He slung the Psychic rope at Crimson like a giant whip. "Bow Before your god!"

"Energy Absorbtion Wall!" Rune's horn created a see through dome around him that caused all the lightning that hit it to disappear. What didn't hit the wall was spread out into a few unfortunate members of the audience. "Haha! What fun!" He laughed. The wall disbanded. "I know another neat trick to use!" He opened his mouth and dozens of thin threads protruded from his throat and waved like tentacles.

 

(Almost unbreakable)

Crimson smirked, "well, if you insist..." said crimson darkly before forming a flame whip and quickly wrapping it around rune's neck. Crimson then smiled evilly, "going up..." said crimson before using the whip to toss rune over his head and speed towards the ground headfirst. "And going down... goodnight sweet prince..." said crimson darkly.

(His reaction speed wouldn't allow the whip to hit him)

Before the whip made contact with his neck he jumped back an whipped his head forward, creating an identical whip. The two whips hit each other and tangled together.

 

"Hahaha! Didn't expect that did you? You're stuff is super easy. Let me show you something fun." He disbanded the whip and stepped back. "Learning neat tricks is my special talent. I've killed lots of mages with all kinds of cool tricks. Let me show you one of my favorites." His horn became enveloped in electricity that engulfed his right front hoof like a giant legband. "Are you ready? STORM OF TORMENT!!!" The lightning shot out from his hoof in a wide cone like a shotgun blast headed toward Crimson.

Is there any chance that there is a spot left? I think that my OC Nuclear would be good for this

I don't know... I may need another opinion on this.

Crimson sighed and got up from the couch and began to stretch, "damn that guy is annoying...he really ruined my good mood, if he thinks I'm weak, then he's dead wrong...and thanks by the way, I know i can win, see you later!" Said crimson before quickly trotting off to the arena. After a few minutes, crimson emerged into the arena and simply stood there waiting impatiently for his opponent.

"After this I hope we can still befriends." Rune said happily. "I love dead ponies. They're so easy to get along with!"

 

"Okay, you two are having way too much fun." The ref said. "Start the fight!" He waved a white flag signaling the start of the match.

 

Rune stepped into an open stance. "You first." He said.

Crimson tilted his hat up and opened his eyes, smiling at icy, "hehe, well I think this fight will at least be very interesting to say the least...are you a contestant here too icy?" Asked crimson but stopped smiling once rune interrupted, acting like a child. Crimson glared deeply at rune, "I suggest that you get away from me now, before i decide to roast you alive, you annoying little prick..." said crimson flatly.

Rune tilted up his muzzle. "You don't scare me. I'm not afraid of bullies. Being scared of them is no good way to get in a fight." His eyes narrowed and his smile deepened. "And I love a good fight, don't you? There's no better way to learn what you need to survive!"

 

"Crimson Grinn and Rune, Please enter the third arena. Your match has been switched to slot three."

 

"Oh, fun!" Rune jumped for joy. "To think they only do this once a year!" He walked off and made his way to the stadium.

@@TheBreech, "You seem upset. Never heard of a backup plan? Are you seriously begrudging me the fact that I had and used the means to disable your greatest strength? I think you'd do the same, in my sort of situation." Standoff kept walking, singing under his breath. "The sun has borne a brand-new day, conscience has been cast away. Evil has been blessed with praise, heroes end up in their graves. So who will be your saviour now? They've shot your angels to the ground. It's a lonely road to absolution we must walk along..."

Cosmo looked around the room, feeling bittersweet as he recognized Crimson and some other ponies he'd met before. "I hope they survive... But I can accept their deaths..." Hearing the announcement, Cosmo remembered the fight he'd had with Standoff a year ago. "If he launches anything at me, I'm sending it to the moon. He will not disable me like that again..." Cosmo headed to the arena, Altair hovering beside him, and Shadow Dance active (a speed buff where Cosmo is propelled by telekinetic energy). As he saw Standoff Cosmo called out, "I hope you aren't planning to buck my magic up again Standoff! I will surpass you this time!"

(Seriously, no BS...)

"Now this is a real grudge match!" Topaz said. "These two fighters were at each others throats in the last tournament! But who really cares if neither of them won- oops! I'm being a mean girl again!"

 

The crowd began a chant. "Kill Cosmo! Kill Cosmo! Kill Cosmo!"

 

"And it looks like the fans have started another chanting session!" Topaz said. "I love it when they do that."

 

Rune was sitting in front of the screen chanting along. "Kill Cosmo! Kill Cosmo! This is fun! Kill Cosmo! Kill Cosmo!"

 

The ref nodded to both fighters. "BEGIN!"

 

@

 

Rune was behind Crimson Grinn, balancing on the tip of his front right hoof with a childlike smile. "I'm your first fight! Did you know that, mister? I want to talk to you now since you're gonna be dead soon." He made a pouty face then returned to his smile. "I saw you punch that security guards face off. That was a pretty neat-o trick! I bet you I could do it better, though."

@, "I don't think we've met. How many odd-types does Rail employ, anyway? Sorry. Thinking out loud. I'm Standoff, and yeah, someone's going to die in the next two minutes or those fans are going to start a riot. Trust me, I know exactly what I'm talking about when I say that." Standoff looked to the screen, then looked away. He seemed agitated.

"Oh, I'm not an employee. I'm a fighter!" Rune said cheerfully. "I'm going to kill you. :3" he let go of Standoffs shoulder and watched the screen.

 

 

The wall speaker turned on again. "Standoff and Cosmo Shadesteel. Report to the second arena. You are the next match!"

 

@@TheBreech

Rune came behind Standoff and Pella. He put one hoof on each of their shoulders and smiled. "I love being social, but wouldn't it be more respectful to watch the fight. I think one of them is gonna die soon." He said this without a hint of concern. He was simply still being pleasant.

Sole heard who was being called to fight and grinned, he was gonna have some fun with this. "Hehe... this should be interesting. Especially with my new powers." He said, as he sheathed his sword and walked into the arena and stood opposite of tempest "let's see who's is stronger once and for all." He said excitedly.

  

Tempest simply laughed as he stood up. "Time to show everypony what my true power is." He thought, as he exited the fighters lounge and trotted towards the arena floor. He had no weapons of any kind, but that didn't really matter to him. When he got to the arena, he simply stood their and waited for Sole.

"It's time for the first match up of the tournament!" Said Topaz, "Sole versus Tempest!"

 

Juri looked at both fighters. "No more chit chat!" She said seriously, "Lets START THE FIGHT!"

 

 

 

 

"I hope for their safety." Said Rune as he watched the monitor. "This is a dangerous game."

 

The unicorn didn't seem to mind the color changing as he continued his pleasantries. "The name's Rune. Nothing special. Just Rune. It's a pleasure to meet you all!"

 

 

 

Topaz watched the stadium in her booth. "If only Sole would show up, we could get started! I'm so excited! It's like Hearths Warming Eve!"

Mind if I join. She can manipulate earth minerals as her abilities. But that's really it i guess. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/stone-heart-r3335

very creative backstory. You're in. Just follow along with the RP and read the first post of the RP Topic. It makes things easier.

"Sole and Tempest, report to the arena floor. You are the first match up." The loudspeakers announced.

(There are four stadiums. Each of them is identical, but has a different Ref. the first stadium Ref is a Pegasus named Juri. Have your characters walk to opposite ends of the circular stadium. DO NOT FIGHT UNTIL THE REF TELLS YOU TO!)

"I'm gonna be late!" Topaz panicked and ran to her booth.
 

Tempest glanced at Rut and Sole as Ivy let go of him. "Well this is interesting." He said. "I honestly never expected to see you two here." The cyan pegesus then smirked darkly. "Don't think that means I'll go any easier on you two, though."
 
A voice inside Tempest's head simply laughed. "That's it. Give into your anger, and let me take control." It said, planning something in the near future.
 
Ivy rolled her eyes and went back to the spectator zone.

  

Sole got bored just waiting around, and with noone talking to him it was even worse. So instead of sitting around, he summoned his katana and unsheathed it. "Hehe... might as well pass the time." He said, before he began to sharpen and clean the blade thuroughly.

"A fat bajjiolionare who lost his fortune and died? Nature has plenty of uses! Fungus absolutely LOVES dead things, and flies lay their young in dead muscle tissue. Plants can break down the body's nutrients and gives them back to the soil, and blood can be used to replace water in desperate situations. If you meant, 'what was he good for in life,' then he could've advocated against these tournaments, become a successful redemption story, tons of things! Life is so full of wasted potential... What was I talking about again?" She frowns, "I think I was going to tie this into the circle of life and death... But whose... Oh yes, the fat guy Radio told me about last tournament, who tried to rig the thing! Guess I can forget about him now!"

"Hehe. I like her. She's quite... Eccentric." A unicorn said happily in a soft, cheerful voice. He was a light shade of maroon with slick blue hair. His eyes were closed and his mouth was in a big smile.

 

"Where did you come from?" Topaz asked.

 

"I've been around. I saw the opening ceremony. Terrible business with your father and all."

http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/icy-night-r3803

in that case here is Icy Night. If needed I could create another Oc. So do I need to post what weapon she will use?

If you feel like you need a weapon. The character is approved. Be sure to read the first post on the RP topic and post accordingly!

A unicorn wearing clothes that made her look like a squirrel perked her ears up from a corner, were she was actually eating acorns as big as her head. She bounced over, "Can I take a crack at you too? Punching is a GREAT way to relieve nerves!" She said it in the same way a friend would ask another friend for a glass of water. Her weapons gleamed slightly in the light, with nothing to hide them. A simple, metal shaft, pointed on one end, and attached firmly to a leather glove, it was a blunt weapon with the idea of a parry in mind. She looked at the Security Head with a beaming smile of expectation.

"I... The... Why did you... When did you... How did you... NEVER MIND!" Mason yelled angrily.

 

@, "Ummmm. Wait. Big Shot's dead? Rail killed him? Personally? This surprises you? That's... confusing. Hey, do you know when the matches get underway? I want to be ready for it when it starts." Standoff looked up the hallway a second time, looking slightly agitated.

(all of the contestants should have seen the opening ceremony. Standoff would have seen the murder.)

 

Topaz wiped off a tear. "The matches start when Program announces it. We should have a little while longer... I guess Big Shot really did deserve it. What is he good for anyway?"
