(You can't sense auras in the smog, remember?)

 

makes it impossible to see anything or 'sense energy.

 

Rage felt Wits energy blast graze one of his legs. Luck (and only luck) had allowed him to be hit. He dropped to the grind and rolled, nocking Den off in the process. He stood back up and brushed off his leg. It burned slightly. "You know, even though you can't sense my aura in this smog, I can see you just fine!" He stepped to the side and rammed at Wits from a random angle, ignoring his burnt hoof. Edited October 11, 2012 by Pretty Koenma

Den had rolled back to his hoove. Rage's heartbeat had just flung it's self towards Wits. That meant he was charging and off balance. Den would be fast enough to stop a blow, but he could stop a follow up. He charged after Rage, and using his momentum, pushed him, heavy, and upwards, using his wings for more power.

[Nightfall 3,950]

The smog had distracted Nightfall. He couldn't see anything, and all the sound was going on all around him; he couldn't locate the one spot the sound was coming from.

"Rage, you beastly coward. Make the smog go away and fight like a true stallion, not some bullying, cowardly filly."

He closed his eyes and began to initiate his power mode. He didn't think about clones right now...

 

(Remember, a filly is a FEMALE young horse/pony.)

[InfinityWhale 771]

Hm... this was complicating matters.

 

Which dodged the attack, but was still grazed by the blow.

 

In response he created a massive burst of winds, then did so again several times,pushing back the smog until he could see rage.

 

"Nightfall!" He said. "Right here!"

"Nightfall!" He said. "Right here!"

 

He opened his eyes before he could initiate the power mode fully. He was still a bit stronger than normal because it was partly ready. He just had to remember to hold out and keep his energy from being wasted quickly. He leapt over in the direction of Wits' voice. He suddenly broke into a clearing with Rage in front of him. He swung hard with Demon Blitz.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Rage tucked and rolled, barely missing the sword. When he saw the blade's tip strike the dirt, he laughed, "What the hell? A sword! Ha Ha, what year do you thi-" Den crashed into his side, forcing him deeper into the fog. "Alright, that's it! NOW, I'm pissed!" He stood back up and started to overcharge his energy gun.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den got in close. This pony was bigger, so he'd have to be quicker. He punched the inside of the gunarm at the joint, having gotten around infront of the pony after tackling him. He flashed his wings out in his face and used an underhanded tactic, punching his manhood and kick at his face at the same time.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall began re-initiating his full power mode. He closed his eyes again, crouching down, then slowly moving upwards. His arms and legs hung there in the air, his wings moving slowly but very powerfully. This just about made a small clearing around him.

"Come out and fight like a colt, Rage. You're acting like a filly."

[InfinityWhale 771]

Wits circled around, busted out his gun, and fired an arcanely charged round into Rage's back. "Welcome to the future, motherbucker."

 

((This is going pretty well, but I've got a bad feeling about this, somehow. What is he doing? WHAT IS HE DOING, SNAILS? WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!))

[Literally Snails 2,307]

(Wits, you still can't see or sense energy unless you're right next to him. You're just as likely to hit Den right now.)

 

Rage slipped under Den and stuck the barrel of is gun up to his chest. Bullets wised past them both, and he was hurting in... places. He pushed up on the gun hoof and lifted Den off the ground with it. "I'm not gonna enjoy myself any longer." His voice echoed, "I'm just gonna blow your fucking brains out!" He started to recharge his gun.

Den coughed and laughed, "That's the trick, isn't it? Part of you doesn't want to though. I can see it in your eyes. Regret." Dens front hooves glowed blue, and one he wrapped around the gun-hoof, trying to burn it. The other hoof he pointed at Rage's face, coughing out, "Soul serge." The energy around both of his hooves grew, and he shot it into the other colt, charging it like a lightning bolt.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Rage reflexively fired his weapon. When it hit Den's lightning charge, they were both engulfed in an explosion of light and smoke. The White Smog was blown away by the force created by the spectacular eruption that left them both in a cloud of smoke. On a lighter note, the smell of sweat in the air was gone.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den was used to pain. All kinds of pain; physical, emotion, spiritual, it didn't really matter. When a pony tries to destroy who you are, especially when that pony is good at it. He got up in his little crater, and had a breif amount of double vision, so he shook his head. He looked down at himself, his chest looked burnt. He looked up at Rage.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"YEAH!" Rage screamed after spitting out some blood, "OH YEAH! That's what I'm talking about! That was a Hell of a thing! Come on! Give me another! GIVE ME ANOTHER!"

 

"What does it take to beat this guy?" Patches asked rhetorically as he started to charge his hoofs again.

 

"Don't waist your strength, kid," Jack ordered. "This fight is already over."

 

Rage became angrier than he was before, and charged strait at Den. "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT'S OVER! COME HERE, YOU!" As soon as he started to run, he felt something tugging on his back leg and tripped. When he looked back, he saw that one of his legs was tethered to the ground by a very short chain made of his own blood. He had completely forgotten that Wits had burned his leg and the explosion must have sped up the bleeding.

 

"What the Hell is that?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"That. That is Jack. He could probably think of 100 different ways to kill you with that chain of blood. I really don't want to hear about it, my head hurts a bit. Jack, am I bleeding too?" he was squinting around at everything, "Is it just me, or is it hard to focus..."

[InfinityWhale 771]

((Wits disrupted the field with a wind spell. It was smog, right?))

 

Wits smirked and just slowly walked back. "Jack, if you would be so kind, send this motherbucker to Tartarus, care of the Manehattan Police Department." He reloaded his rifle and aimed it at Karasu, ready for the next battle to occur.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"YOU THINK THIS IS OVER?" Rage demanded, "I'll wring your necks! I'll... I'll..." He held his temples and shouted, "Stop! I'm not done yet! I can beat 'em! I can beat 'em!" He abruptly stopped shouting and lowered his hoofs, gradually closing his eyes as he fell to his stomach, as if he were falling asleep. Edited October 12, 2012 by Pretty Koenma

Den made his way over to Sapphire, squinting. Things where beginning to blur, he felt like he overdosed on a chemical or something. What he couldn't see was the broad, gapping hole in his shoulder. Sapphire gasped, and Den smiled weakly, "Patch me up?"

 

"You idiot! What if he'd killed you? What would you have done! Come here!" She stufed a brownie in his mouth, and while he was busy pondering that, generated a new should. Den was screaming behind the brownie, but nopony could really hear it. When it was done, he gulped, "Thanks Sapphire..."

[InfinityWhale 771]

"Sapphire," Wits said. "Can I make a quick suggestion? You are simply applying the healing magic. I found that a more layering effect is more effective, and causes less pain. Observe." He used the method he described, and applied a light but powerful touch to some of the other scrapes and wounds that Den had accumulated to quickly heal them up. "However, your style is very unique, and very well done!" He gave her a quick smile.

 

"Now, what is Karasu doing..." He pointed a gun at the downed pony. "Should I end it right here?"

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"That won't be necessary, detective." Karasu said. He stood back up and gently touched the chain that tethered him to the ground. The chain exploded, sending out shapnels of dried blood and earth. He casually walked over to his jacket and mask which Rage had carelessly thrown aside. He put them both on without taking his eyes off of the group.

 

"Interesting..." Jack muttered. "He no longer appears to be injured."

[InfinityWhale 771]

With a quick spell, Wits deflected the worst of the shrapnel, coopting a shield spell for the purpose.

 

"So, if you were rage before that makes... Sloth? Can't be Pride. Pride is the greatest sin, and always comes last. I would know, since its mine." He kept his gun trained on the pony. "Best way to find out..." he fired a charged shot at the pony, aiming for the head. "Is experimentation."

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Karasu telechenetically pulled a vibrant, red rose from the pocket of his jacket and ripped off its stem. "If you ever do meet Pride, you will be disappointed." He said in a calm victor. After a moment of silence, he looket strait bat the barrel of Wits gun. "If you intend to shoot me, Im afraid that won't work. But you already know that, don't you?" he held the rose head up to his mask and inspected it.

[InfinityWhale 771]

"The red rose would make me suspect you to be lust," Wits said. "Have we met before?"

 

Envy was defeated because he didn't know what he was getting into. Rage was acting irrationally... we need to be these ponies using their weaknesses against them. Lust, Avarice, Gluttony, Sloth, and Pride are left. This one fits Lust the best.

 

"How's about a kiss," Wits said amorously, tweaking his aura ever so imperceptibly to make him seem all the more irresistible "I've always had a thing for gorgeous ponies, regardless of gender."

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"Please," Lust scoffed. "You aren't even the one I'm interested in." He said this while looking at Den. "I love you, and when I love something, I love to take it away." he removed the base of the rose head, leaving nothing in his hoof but rose pedals.

 

"I think I'm too young to hear this!" said Patches.

 

"Kid, I'm too young to hear this." Jack replied.

[InfinityWhale 771]

Wits thought about it, and a plan formed in his head. "Hey Den..." he said. "Go get yourself as smooch." And with that, he kicked Den forward, waiting for the opportune moment. "Oh, this is going to be fun indeed..." he said.

Back at the police station, Sunburn's men had summarily dispatched most of the wolves and were once again heading towards the police station. The Burning King himself tossed a stick of dynamite inside, with a tight hoof on the controller. He was ready to blow it up as soon as it landed inside.

 

((You have no idea.))
