open The Dark Tournament III

[Hive King 2,001]

Skuldaf muttered a silent prayer for the unfortunate Diamond Dog. Such a brutal fate was undeserved, even for one as cruel as him

 

@@Gloomfury,

Skuldaf looked at the coat wearing pony with a modicum of respect. He respected no one who entered this vile tourney, but mercy was a large redeemer in his eyes. 

[dusk shade 205]

"A foe who cannot fight is harmless...there was no need for his life to end. A fighter who kills the defensless on the other hoof...there is no need for his life to continue, is there. A true waste of potential....truly pathetic" Godric said to himself and the lounge.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Overlord stood over Kiero, and gripped the sides of Kiero's head with his armoured hoofs.

 

"Mercy... You want MERCY... MERCY IS FOR THE WEAK!!!!"

 

He then rips kiero's head off, taking his spine with it, he swings it around for a bit before throwing it to the crowd.

 

"BLOOD... BLOOD... AND MORE BLOOD... LET IT FLOW LIKE A RIVER!!!"

 

Reboot leans back, a big smile on his face.

 

"Well miss topaz it looks like we have another deranged killer on our hoofs, good thing the crowd loves em, CAN EVERYPONY MAKE SOME NOISE FOR OVERLORD!!!"

"A deranged killer with a nice set of pecs," Topaz said in a softer voice than usual.

 

Juri gracefully stepped onto the ring and walked beside Overlord. Her tiny body made him look even larger by comparison. She turned to face the crowd and lifted up her mic. "The winner via gruesome beheading is Overlord! lets hear it, folks!"

 

The audience cheered on cue as Overlord was lead of the stage. A janitorial crew discretely entered the stadium to clean up for the next fight.

 

Topaz announced, "I've just received word that before the next fight between Imajin and Trench Club begins, we're going to have a brief interview with one of the fighters while the stadium is being brought back to fighting order. Put your hooves, claws, and paws together for Imajin!"

 

Imajin was a massive earth-brown earth pony. He was so tall and bulky that he had to duck in order to get past the door to the arena. He had a metal plate on the side of his cranium, he had gotten them after his near death loss against Standoff in an unaficial match during the first tournament.

 

"I thought those last fighters were big, but that guy just isn't natural!" one unicorn said.

 

Juri gracefully danced over to Imajin and held a mic up between both of them. "Hey there big guy!" She said enthusiastically. "It's no secret that you've been trying to get into this tournament for years and now you've finally gotten on the roster! But that may not be the best thing! Are you worried about your fight with Trench Club?"

 

Imajin was chewing on a piece of gum. During a period of awkward silence he blew a small bubble that quickly popped, then he went back to chewing it. "Not worried at all," he muttered, "I'm gonna chew him up, spit him out, and stick him under a desk!" He immediately spat the chewed gum onto the concrete floor.

 

(I decided, "Let's have Imajin chewing on bubble gum during his interview so that he'll look like an even bigger asshole.")

@,  (( I think it worked.))

 

Trench wasn't fazed by the burly stallions comment. He knew real strength wasn't in words but in actions. And he knew right away that Imajin wouldn't be a match for him. That wasn't in  overconfidence or arrogance but in strong fact. As the stallion did his interview Trench did a few more things to get warmed up before heading down to the ring, with his duster and club sheath still on.

Overlord chuckled as he heard topaz's comment, he arrived at the lounge, and sat on one of the sofas, smearing no small amount of blood over it.

 

Overlord stopped one of the attendants as they walked past, and asked him a question.

 

"Excuse me, I was wondering if I could have a word with topaz, could this be arranged"

[Gloomfury 243]

@, 

 

Trench walked out onto the ring. He takes in a deep breath to take in the fresh air. He's been cooped up in the lounge for a while and the strong sent of alcohol was making him sick.  Even though he could also smell the sent of fresh blood he ignored it. When he got to the middle of the ring he waited for the stallion he'll be fighting.

[Anon In Equestria 57]

Overlord chuckled quietly, and rested a hoof on the fans back, being careful not to hurt him.

 

"Relax lad, I only kill the other fighters, not the attendees, would you care for a drink fellow"

Reboot looks to topaz and grins, kiero's sword on the table in front of him.

 

"Well after that last fight, I'm not sure if anything will be able to top overlord's stunning performance, I know your impressed topaz, and I'm sure the crowd are shaking with awe"

[Hive King 2,001]

@,

"Fighters, attendees, what difference does it make? They all have life and free will" Skuldaf spoke, his voice low and quiet. It was the first words the stoic unicorn had said since he'd got here. "I dearly hope we don't face each other in the ring, I might not be able to control myself if you do" 

[GameytheGeemer 147]

"Welp... It's been to long since I've done something... Any way I can get some target practice in?" Chain Mail asked another Attendant. "I want to shoot SOMETHING, after all, I've been arranging a deal with the Bartender for a fuckton of drinks." He added.

 

"Although, I would understand if they weren't living targets... That would just be wasteful."

 

 

"And there is a difference... The ponies in this competition, are all willing to die for the prize. The ponies in the stands are there to SEE us kill each other for money. Besides, you need to let go of all that 'Death is an Evil Notion' thing you have going on, 9/10's of everything has to die EVENTUALLY, so why not speed up the process, besides, it's a hell of a lot of fun."

"Just because something's an eventuality doesn't mean it should happen sooner. The Sun will burn out eventually and this planet will become a lifeless rock. It would be cruel to do something to speed up this process. However, knowing your kind, my words will most likely not sway you" Skuldaf lectured, not even bothering to look at the other

"I don't work here, man," The attendee said in a mellow voice. "You should try something other than asking the first random asshole you see."

 

Overlord chuckled quietly, and rested a hoof on the fans back, being careful not to hurt him.

 

"Relax lad, I only kill the other fighters, not the attendees, would you care for a drink fellow"

 

Being touched didn't make him any more comfortable. "I... Uh... try to find her after the preliminaries. I would like to go, please. The next match is about to start."

(Imajin's already in the ring.)

 

"You're supposed to be favored in this fight?" Imajin scoffed, "Don't look so tough to me!"

 

"Okay, we aren't here to small talk," Juri said, "Start the fight!"

 

"Come on, little man! Just give me your best shot!" Imajin dared.

Trench pulled out his club and took his time with the stallion to test him out a little. He started circling around him with his guard up and ready to strike at the right moment. He knew the blood lusting fans wouldn't like him dwelling but he didn't care. This was is fight and he was going to do it however he wanted. 

[Anon In Equestria 57]

Overlord shrugged and walked over to chain mail.

 

"You my friend seem to have the right mood for this tournament, how about we have a few drinks to celebrate my victory, and to your next fight"

 

-----------------

 

Reboot nodded and turned his attention to the arena.

 

"Let's go guys, the crowds getting bored"

[GameytheGeemer 147]

"I guess that that saved your life." He said, turning around and not pulling out a pistol.

 

"As for a drink... Why not, I could drink a barrel of some beer.." He said.

 

 

"And yeah, although, the world won't become a lifeless rock... For reasons that you may or may not learn about later. I guess."

"As fun as this is, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cut this date short." Imajin held out his front right hoof and grabbed it with his left hoof. He cried out a shrill roar of anger and pain as the bones in his muscular right leg shifted around and reformed into different shapes. After a loud scream, his right front led reformed into the shape of a massive axe blade. "AXE BLADE HOOF!" He yelled, followed by a few quick breaths in order to deal with the intense pain. He held up the razor sharp, fleshy axe and grinned.

 

"I don't know if Im supposed to be grossed out or impressed!" Topaz said. "Imajin seems to have completely rearranged the bones in his leg into some kind of giant axe blade! It's macabre, it's intimidating, it's brutal, and I love every minute of it!" 

[Gloomfury 243]

@,

 

 Trench stayed calm. He'll admit, he didn't see that coming. He's heard stories  of beings who could make there limbs into weapons he also heard that it was excruciating. Now he knew that he had to get serious. He then takes off his Club sheath and draws his dagger and placed it thin his mouth, gritting it with his teeth. Then he got in a low stance and with a crack of his neck he took off towards the stallion. He serpentine a little so the stallion wouldn't know where he was attacking.  

 

When he got close enough he jumped and bashed his club into the stallions head and sliced off the axe hoof with a swift motion of his neck. When it fell to the ground he backed off the stallion. He whipped off some of the blood of his face.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

@@Gloomfury, (Imajin has a very slow nervous system.)

 

Imajin stood on three legs and didn't look concerned in the least bit. He appeared to not notice that he was missing a leg!

"That was a pretty nasty clubbing you gave me," He said, "But you're gonna have to try a little harder than a light tap on the head to beat me! So come on, just give it your best shot!"

[Anon In Equestria 57]

Overlord nods and walks over to the bar, ordering two beers, and a straw.

 

---------------

 

Reboot stands from his chair and starts smashing his hoof on the table.

 

"Did you see that, he took his hoof yet no reaction, this guy must be some next level mental master... Kick his ass clubby"

 

He leans back in his chair and sighs.

 

"I could get used to this"

[Hive King 2,001]

Skuldaf looked on at the battle, interested slightly. It was clear the smaller one could have ended this instantly if he wanted to, but he hadn't. Skuldaf nodded in approval. Even if the other didn't see him, at least someone here thought a little like him...though her personally wouldn't have been so brutal

@,

 

 Trench let out a sigh. Then he took of again and bashed his club on joints of the stallion while also cutting his other hooves ligament which made him fall over.  It wouldn't kill him but it would leaves him unable to move his legs for some time till he gets treatment. Then he slammed his club into the stallions temple to knock him out.

(I was setting you up to say something funny, but oh well.)

 

The club bashed into the metal plating on his head, causing the rest of his head to vibrate violently for a split second before the trauma forced him to go limp. He was still breathing.

 

Juri stepped next to Imajin and began counting. "ONE, TWO, THREE..."

[Gloomfury 243]

@, ((Trench is not the joking or boasting type when it come to fighting.)) 
 

Trench walked over to his club sheath and placed it back over him. Then he put sheathed both his club and his dagger. As he did that he made his way  towards where he came in a even pace till Juri was done counting. He knew that the stallion wouldn't match against him. But he also knew his type. Even though his back was turned he kept his guard up. 

[Literally Snails 2,307]

@@Gloomfury, (Not even something like, "your entire nervous system, it leaves a lot to be desired."?)

 

Juri kept counting, "FOUR! FIVE! SI- huh?"

 

Imajin crawled back on all three legs and stared Juri down with an intimidating glare. "This match doesn't end until Trench club is dead. Got it?" He barked.

 

A bead of sweet trickled down Juri's head. "I'm sorry, big guy but I don't make the rules," she explained with a quivering voice.

 

"Well then, I guess we don't need you!" Imajin growled. He impulsively used his left hind leg to kick Juri in the chest and hurtle her off the stadium. She landed in the grass with a bruised chest and leg, lucky not to have landed on concrete.

 

"Oh my god!" Topaz gasped. This was one of the rare times when someone was hurt and she was not okay with it.

 

"This is my match and I make the rules!" He gloated. Imajin glared at Trench, who still had his back turned. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked rhetorically. "I'm not done with you yet! ... I SAID I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!" He raised his stump leg into the air, and out of the open wound, new strands of muscle and fragments of bone began to reform into the shape of a brand new axe hoof. He blindly charged at Trench and swung his axe down at his head. "AXE BLADE HOOF!"

@, ((Nope. He's a serious guy.))

 

Trench quickly pulled out his dagger and club. Then he stabbed the dagger in his throat and slammed hi cub into the blade to make enough force to cut the stallions head clean off. Trench sheathed his club and dagger and kicked the stallions body and head off the ring. Then he ran over to Juri's and knelt down to her and lightly picked her up. "Miss, are you alright?" He asked with worry.
