open The Dark Tournament (FULL!)

[Justin ZW 396]

Swordpoint was caught off guard. He was thrown forward to the ground painfully, and he quickly gathered energy and teleported above Radio. Instead of flapping his wings, he extended his back leg and dropped directly toward her. I must take care. Her skill could even match Frostbite's.

Radio turned in time for his hoof to miss, but the rest of his body crashed into her. They landed in a pile, which caused her to give a moment of time to exhale heavily. She levitated one of his hind hooves to drag him off her, and proceeded to use magic to bind his wings to his sides, to even the playing field.

[Justin ZW 396]

Swordpoint leapt backward and cast a stun spell at Radio. ”A clever move. Where did you receive your training?” He dashed toward her and leapt over her, throwing a sweep kick in an attempt to knock her off balance.

 

 

Topaz ran around the corner and collided with Rail. ”Daddy! You're okay!”

 

Rail placed a hoof on her back. ”Of course. I am not so easy to kill.”

 

”Let's disqualify her for that!” Topaz shouted. ”She almost hurt you!”

 

Rail waved his hoof. ”No. Allow them to continue. Although I will make one small change to the rules...” Rail made his way toward the announcer's box with Topaz.

"Combat simulator 117," she replied, jumping. She teleported under him and shoved upwards, teleporting bhind him to shoot off a frost blast. "Also received training from dead ends, knife points, gun points, and previous tournaments in which I had to participate in order to gather respect needed in order to do anything in Post Apocaliptia."

[Justin ZW 396]

Swordpoint teleported behind Radio and wrapped his forehooves around her midsection. He leapt into the air and threw her toward the ground. ”Your skill is respectable. I always have envied unicorns. Your magic potential is limitless, while I must monitor my usage.” He landed deftly on the ground.

 

”Attention, fillies and gentlecolts!” the loudspeaker boomed. It was Rail. ”These matches have a disappointing lack of gore. But I will fix that! For this match, ring-outs, ten counts, and forfeitures have been removed! Victory will only come by killing the opponent! Now let the blood flow.”

 

Swordpoint swallowed. ”No! I refuse! You cannot make me a murderer!”

 

”These are the new rules,” Rail said calmly. ”If you won't kill, then I'm certain that Radio will.”

”These are the new rules,” Rail said calmly. ”If you won't kill, then I'm certain that Radio will.”

"I'll kill my opponent alright," she says, "The rules are in place to protect bystanders. If there are no ring outs, then I can hunt who I'd like." She spits, "Including those who would harm me. If the only way to win is to kill me, then I can do this." She stomped and constructed a crystaline armor around her body, with joins in appropriate places, strapped down by cropping her hair short and creating straps. She teleports out of the arena and begins hunting for Rail.

[Justin ZW 396]

Swordpoint was stunned. ”Well...that was unexpected. What should I do?”

 

Rainbow leapt from the stands and flew to Swordpoint. ”Tell me you weren't going to let her kill you.”

 

He smiled warmly. ”She is good hearted. Killing for sport is not in her nature.”

 

”I wonder where she went,” Rainbow mused. ”Or if they'll disqualify her.”

 

”Well,” Rail's voice called, ”it seems that Radio is abandoning the fight. But that's alright. I have an opponent who is dying to meet you... Come out, Imajin.”

 

The ground began to shake as a huge pony stumbled into the arena. Standoff's knife jutted from his neck. ” Hi, there, Swordpoint,” he roared. ” I'm gonna enjoy eating your heart!”

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Radio walks through the hallways and makes her way to the stands, where she starts looking for Rail. She glances briefly to the arena, where she see Imajin. Big fellah, Swordpoint can take him. She decides to keep an eye on it, but continues to look for Rail. His head on a pike infront of Railroad Tourney would make her very happy indeed.

[TheBreech 91]

Cinder heard the announcement and went to see what happened. Cosmo's other fans told her as they started leaving. She ran back and updated Cosmo and Crimson who were tied at 2 points. "What the... Luna's frozen glare, I'll concede Crimson, I enjoyed sparring but I'm going to help Swordpoint." Cosmo sprinted to the arena and saw the massive brute Swordpoint was facing. "Buck me with the sun... What is that guy?!" Cosmo shouted down, "Hey Swordpoint! Should I assume this place became a free for all and lend you a hoof?"

(OOC: Seriously is the structured tournament basically over and now we're just all against Rail and his lackeys?)

[RAGESTAR 479]

Crimson skidded to a hault next to cosmo, and grinned down at the large pony in the ring with swordpoint, "I'm with cosmo swordpoint! Save some canon fodder for us!" Said crimson excitedly before jumping over the guardrails and into the arena next to swordpoint, he then grinned at him, "three on one? Whatever, I guess its fair for a freak his size!" Said crimson before getting into fighting position.

[Justin ZW 396]

(OoC: Yeah, I guess we can move into the endgame. Rail is off-limits until he completes his master plan, though.)

 

Swordpoint smiled at his friends. ”I believe that this false tournament has ended. Be careful, my friends.” He glanced at Rainbow. ”Run, Rainbow. This is too dangerous.”

 

Rainbow hit Swordpoint in the head. ”Shut up and give me a knife.”

 

Imajin roared, leapt toward them, and swung his axe hoof. Rainbow jumped out of the way, but Swordpoint was caught off guard. He tried to dodge, but the axe struck his chest and drew a lot of blood. He fell to the ground with a howl.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Radio looked back at the arena from the roar of the crowd and sighed; Swordpoint had gotten hit. "Focus! He's bigger than you, but he's just a behemoth. Looks like his parents were slightly rad-touched, or maybe he was created. Either way, he moves his arms like a meat popsickle. Just make sure you dodge!" To give him time to recover, she shot a small beam of electricity at the beast.

[Justin ZW 396]

The green unicorn quietly approached Radio from behind while she was distracted. He cast a spell to bind her legs together. ”We were hoping for Swordpoint or Standoff, but you lot just had to complicate things.” He spat on her. ”No matter. You should make a suitable source of power for the portal.” He held up a radio. ”I have her. Hallway C2, by the viewing platform.”

 

Rail approached slowly. ”Hello, my little troublemaker.”

 

 

Rainbow grabbed Swordpoint and lifted him to his hooves. ”Cover us, guys! C'mon, Swordpoint! Healing spell, just like you taught me!” She wrapped her wings around him and glowed with a rainbow aura.

 

Swordpoint grimaced and focused his energy. His aura merged with Rainbow's, and he felt his injury heal. When she released him, only a scar remained.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"You think I need my legs to move?" she mumbles. The lights on her helmet glow brightly, and she let of a magic discharge that sent his spit back at him in a vapor cloud. She followed up with her newly freed hoof (The purpose of the discharge) in a wicked right hook to send him spinning, teleporting back into the arena where she had friends to back her up. She had a sheild up around Rainbow and Swordpoint quickly.

[TheBreech 91]

Cosmo joined Crimson and looked the massive monstrosity before them. Walking up to it he said, "You're one ugly mother, bucker you know that?" Cosmo asked in a calm tone. The beast replied by smashing Cosmo's torso and cutting his head off with his axe hoof. Cosmo's laughter was easy to hear as his body burst into a puff of blue dust and Altiar left a giant gash across Imajin's back. "So the tournaments finished huh?" Cosmo asked landing a fair distance away from Imajin, "Then I guess illusions and clones are fair game!" He turned invisible and a dozen Cosmos appeared, each wielding their own clones of his blades, "Well, Mr... Imajin, was it? This is another treasure of my spell book, Echo Dance. Take pleasure knowing the last thing you'll ever see one of my masterpieces," Cosmo said, his words repeated in chorus by his clones, preventing his location from being recognized. "Attack!" Cosmo instructed, and his clones began striking from all angles, each one watching to avoid their fragile forms from being broken by Imajin's attacks. "Like I told you Crimson," Cosmo whispered to his friend, "I am a master in the art of Death."

(OOC: I want to draw it out, but I have an awesome idea of how to finish Imajin!)

Crimson grinned wickedly, "hehehe....I see your point my friend....but tell me....have you ever seen a move like....this?" Asked crimson darkly, before dissappearing and appearing ontop of imajin's shoulders, he then grinned evilly before shoving his hoof into imajin's mouth, and releasing somsort of glowing slithering object, crimson then jumped away, and turned to look at cosmo with a devilish grinn, "you can fight him by yourself.....but if you don't kill him within five minutes.....then my "calipso serpent" will....he's just waiting for my command.....so impress me mr. Assasin!" Said crimson calmly before leaning against a wall.

 

((Lol, I noticed that quote you used! That's almost EXACTLY what byakuya kuchiki had said to ichigo before using his bankie on him, yup, that settles it, your a bleach fan!! =3))

(OOC: That's not... wait a sec... I am, but I was actually thinking of Thane from the Mass Effect 2 commercials, "...Killing is an art, and I, am a master." Byakuya said something like that..! Another good reason I need to watch that fight again.)

"Really? I only get five minutes..? Well buck it. That's not enought to enjoy toying with this guy so I might as well..." Cosmo started muttering something, clearly annoyed. All but two of the clones worked to restrain Imajin, and the last two grabbed their Black Swans and stabbed them in the behemoth's neck at equal fourths. Then weh they were in place, Cosmo fused the tips in Imajin's throat and gave them a telekinetic twist, severing his head from his body in a fountain of blood that would've earned Cosmo all the favor of the audience if the stands weren't a complete riot in the confusion of everything going on. "Walking away from Imajin's corpse, Cosmo resumed visibility and dismissed his clones. "Impressed? Mr Pirate?" Cosmo asked, leaning on a spot beside his friend. A flash of orange was Cosmo's only warning as Cinder threw herself on him, hugging and kissing him, between bouts of praise and excitement. "I never get to see you fight like that, Cosmo, it's incredible!"

Crimson grinned and clapped lightly, "nice finisher, but way to ruin my fun.....or did you?" Asked crimson darkly before imajin's body disintigrated and a large flaming serpent slithered towards crimson, slithering up his arm until it melted into his skin, crimson then smirked, "just think of it as cleaning up your messy finisher.....but now what do we do?" Asked crimson.

 

(( Take pleasure knowing the last thing you'll ever see one of my masterpieces," actually I meant this...))

(Oh, lol, I don't know. Maybe I remembered it subconsciously or maybe I got it somewhere else. Either way, it fit. Btw, that posted early by accident, I added a bit about Cinder to the end)

"Sorry, but you gave me a challenge" Cosmo muttered something about the word challenge that made Cinder giggle and shake her head. "For now? I'm not sure, catch up to Rail before he can escape..?" Cosmo said half heartedly. Cinder voiced his concern, "...and make Topaz an orphan..." Cosmo nodded, "I'm not just gonna let him enter the Nexus, but I won't kill him. I can't do that to Topaz... We need to hurry, Imajin was just a way to stall for time, lets not waste the extra time I earned us killing him quickly!" Cinder nodded and they went after Rail and his group.

Crimson grinned and quickly followed cosmo, "good plan, but are you sure topaz wouldn't be better off without her father?i mean think about it, she practically squeed when she witnessed brutal murder, what else do you think he shoved into her head?" Asked crimson seriously.

Cosmo was silent for a moment but finally replied with equal seriousness, "You're right, Rail is a horrible father and Topaz is much better off without him, but I can't kill him knowing I'll be making another innocent little filley an orphan. That's just... it too much for me..." Cosmo shuddered as he said "another," remembering the worst contact he ever had to complete for his clan...

(OOC: ...Sweet Luna... I just found the part of me that could write a story dark enough to make the author of Cupcakes shudder...)

[RAGESTAR 479]

Crimson sighed, "your right.....that would probably haunt me for awhile.....but if were not gonna kill him, then what will we do when we do capture him? Arrest him? That won't work and you know it! He'll just buy his way out and start over again!" Said crimson seriously.

Cosmo raised an eyebrow, "You know... thats actually not such a bad idea. I'd have to get it through Luna, but I could have Rail locked up for good in the castle dungeons, this tournament was his after all and have you seen how many audience members have been killed? You don't get bail when you're responsible for that many deaths. Topaz could still visit him, but she'd be raised in the castle where she could be cleansed of whatever brainwashing he did to her... That could work!" Edited June 16, 2013 by TheBreech

Crimson sighed and shook his head slowly, "maybe.....but what if it doesn't work? What if all that does is create a bitter, angry, revenge obsessed topaz who wants nothing more than to fullfill her imprisoned for life fathers last mission..." asked crimson darkly as he ran.

"I'll decide on that when we get her. I'm living proof a parent can't truly force their child to be something they weren't meant to be. I'll guide her as well as I can but if that doesn't work... She won't be an innocent little filly forever..." Cosmo's voice faded as he said the last sentence, allowing its meaning to just hang in the air.
