open The Dark Tournament II (FULL!)

[synangel 25]

"We both want to go on. The problem is which one of us will. I'm not spilling any more blood, this fight had almost turned me into some kind of savage beast," Whiplash replied wistfully, kicking the ground. She knew the audience would be wanting more action, but she refused to give it to them.

Stone knew what the crowd wanted. "Yes, but.....I need to win this. For the prize, that's all I want" she said to whiplash. "I need this, and I'm not letting anyone stand in my way, so please. Let me win. I'm not shedding anymore blood this battle, I can't. You've taken to much. I've taken to much." She said.

@@Snowy Storm,

 

Nuclear turned her head as she heard some hoofsteps heading her direction.

 

She smiled a bit seeing that it was Icy returning to the viewing room. Her smile lessened seeing another pony following her.

 

'Huh, didn't see him before...wonder why he's chatting with Icy?'

 

She dismissed her thoughts and smiled again. "Hey Icy! Welcome back!"

 

@@Frosty V,

 

Her gaze turned to Frost. "Who's your friend here?"

Whiplash wanted nothing more than to let the pony go on with her life and win, but deep down she couldn't. "I'm..sorry. But I have something to

prove in this tournament, I have to win. I came too far to quit," she said honestly. Whiplash was at a loss for what to do.

Stone gritted her teeth. "FINE HAVE IT YOUR WAY" she exploded, jumped at whiplash, kicking her in the face, then grabbing the blade pulling it out if her body. She then whipped the blade getting the blood off, she then took the sword and slashed it across whiplashes body, she then jumped back and used her weapon to lean on.

Crimson raised an eyebrow at rail, "uhh...well you sure have the fucked up childhood thing going for you, but its still no excuse to kill innocents, I also grew up at the bottom of the barrel, I was nothing more than an orphaned, thieving street rat when I was a kid, yet look how I turned out, now I'm a famous pirate captain turned hero, and its all because even after all the bad things that happened to me and how much I've lost...I still didn't bow to darkness..." said crimson quitely.

"And I am the wealthiest stallion in Equestria with a fortune of nearly three times Equestria's gross product. I own own nearly half of the wealth in the world. Which one of us do you find more successful? But that's not important. What is important will be decided soon. The one who succeeds is right. That's why history is written by the victor. In a few days, I will play my hand. It's funny, I feel just like I did all those years ago when I played my first game of poker."

[Frosty V 309]

Frost looked at the other pony in the room and grinned. "I'm Frost, it's nice to meet you...." he said trailing off waiting for the other pony to introduce herself. Iustus just rolled his eyes "Wow you are ssooo smooth with the ladies." he said mentally in a sarcastic tone.

[Moonlight Fire 20]

Whiplash easily slipped out from under the pony, mildy surprised at the outburst. "I meant what I said. I'm not fighting you." Whiplash decided to use one of her more swift techniques: dodging and weaving. She knew she was fast, and hoped that she could continue to dodge all attacks.

[Nuclear Neurotic 56]

@@Frosty V,

 

Nuclear sensed she was supposed to introduce herself and laughed at her social faux pas. 

 

"Oh, pffft. Name's Nuclear Neurotic. Call me Nuclear or if you really want to call me NN." She grinned at him.

 

'He seems like a nice pony. At least not all of the competitors here are savages....hopefully...'

[synangel 25]

Stone slashed faster, missing every time. But she grew faster with every slash. She couldn't stop now, no Matter what. 'I am not loosing, she is waiting for me, she needs my help, I can't abandon her' she thought to herself. She finally got a hit across the chest.

"What is whiplash doing in there?" Topaz demanded. "I know dodging is an excellent strategy, but if she doesn't fight back, how is she supposed to win? All she's been doing is avoiding hits! Where's the fun in that?"

"And finally a hit! This might be all over, folks!"

Though finally Stone managed to get a slash on her chest, it wasn't very deep at all. "I know deep inside my heart, shedding this blood isn't right," Whiplash murmured. Although Stone was getting faster, the pegasus knew it would be hard to compete with her speed.

 

OOC: (how are we finally going to get the winner for this?)

Standoff faked high and swung low, smacking Cosmo in the knee (I hope you can't direct magic on the fly).  Not giving him time to recover, Standoff hit him again in the back, then backed off some. "Wow, I'm doing better than I expected."

Stone hearts reflexes weren't good enough to keep up with her. But stones eyes didnt loose track of her, she analyzed every move, how she moved, what gave her the speed, and where to put the blade. She eventually got the blade to stop whiplash by making her hit the flat part of the blade, not doing any damage, but It gave her time to throw a round house kick to the head. She then staggered back after the bloody hit. Her muscles screamed in pain as she forced them to keep going. She was out of breathe. And was sweating up a storm.

Cosmo felt the impact and knew he'd favor his other leg for the fight. He also could see Standoff preparing to hit him in the back, so as the strike came down he stabbed the weapon at the cord's base, resulting in the grapple flying across the arena, severed from the firing mechanism.

Cosmo now had Altair's point at Standoff's throat. "A few moments ago, you said if I spared you, you'd have nothing left but a thirst for revenge... I still know little about your character, but I know this life was cruel to you, Standoff, and I hope you find something better in your next one..." As he concluded, Cosmo sliced Altair through Standoff's neck, severing his opponents head in a spray of blood. Cosmo's eyes were closed, as both a final respect for his rival and a shield from the blood spray. "May the night bring you a better life," he prayed quietly before cleaning Altair and sheathing his blade.

[Moonlight Fire 20]

Whiplash stumbled from the heavy kick, dazed. She hadn't considered the fact that Stone would analyze her moves. What do I do now? She thought, panting heavily. Suddenly, she had an idea. Whiplash began to dodge again, this time moving in completely incomceivable patterns, each move different from the next. The pegasus was exausted, but she forced herself to keep moving.

Stone gritted her teeth and stopped she jumped back. She needed to end this but how. She didn't know how to do this. "I'm either going to kill myself, or end you" she closed her eyes, and soon she began to pant. The ground began to shake and a wall rose up and shot at her. It was made of stone. And soon as it hit whiplash the wall pushed her out of the arena. But not only did it push her out, it hit whiplash with enough force that the wall broke.

 

Stone looked up, praying that she would win this. She was now kneeling on the ground. Out if energy. And all she had left was willpower. One eye remained closed slightly while the other was open while she gritted her teeth and breathed in and out heavily.

[Moonlight Fire 20]

Whiplash felt completely broken as pain shot through her body. Was this the end? Everything she stood for pivoted on this tournament. And she was..losing? Whiplash couldn't feel her body, but knew that something had to be done. "I don't have anything left..but this," she choked. Steadily drawing forth a wind, Whiplash could feel her muscles tearing. If this didn't end Stone, she wasn't sure what else she could do. More! She screamed in her mind, urging the wind to become stronger, faster. With a last surge of energy, Whiplash let the wind knock Stone completely into the sky, then smash het heavily outside the arena with all her will power, all of her heart, her very essense. Now what? She wondered, struggling to see through the wreckage.

[synangel 25]

Stone got up slowly, and literally crawled back to the arena, her front hoof on the arena. "I....can't..." She said getting her back leg. Then she took her sword and got it into a dagger and threw it at whiplash. Getting her in the chest. Piercing her. She then fell to her knees, looking at the ground. She lost her dignity.

[Moonlight Fire 20]

As Whiplash suffered yet another painful chest wound, she felt her damaged little wings drag her into the arena. Her legs couldn't take anymore. "What..have I become?" she groaned, taking the dagger out. It was soaked in blood, and some how Whiplash just knew, these last throws would be the very end. She hurled it, with all her might, her eyes perfectly targeting Stone's heart area, and piercing it. Whiplash panted, disgusted at all the blood and gore scattered in the arena.

The ref jumped back on stage and grabbed Cosmos hoof, holding it high. "The winner by death is Cosmo Shadesteel!" (Start your next post back in the waiting room. I'm skipping strait to the next fight.)

 

 

 

Frost looked at the other pony in the room and grinned. "I'm Frost, it's nice to meet you...." he said trailing off waiting for the other pony to introduce herself. Iustus just rolled his eyes "Wow you are ssooo smooth with the ladies." he said mentally in a sarcastic tone.

 

 

@@Frosty V,

"Yeah let's go see the fight. I left a pony I met in the viewing room by herself. We should keep her company while we wait" Icy turned and began to walk towards the viewing room. Still she wanted to know more about what rail and crimson were talking about. she was wondering about it.

 

"Icy Night and Frost Typhoon, report to the second arena floor!"

[synangel 25]

Stone gasped as her chest was pierced, it didnt hit her heart, at least she didn't know that. But it hit something close to it. Her eyes widened in shock. She hit the ground and blood poored from her mouth. She gritted her now blood red teeth, she felt nothing but pain. Tears streamed down her face. "P-please.....do...m-me a favor....." She said using her willpower.

[Moonlight Fire 20]

Seeing Stone in tears, Whiplash couldn't help but ley out the tears she's been holding stream down. "Of..course," she choked, agony rippling through her. Was this battle worth it, had she lost herself. Whiplash wretched up as she looked at Stone's and her's terrible wounds.

[TheBreech 91]

Cosmo sat in the waiting room for... he didn't even know what. The Unicorns at the clinic were able to completely heal his bruises and the fracture in his knee. He sat in a semi meditative state, resting his mind and recharging his magic reserves while maintaining awareness to his surroundings. If his friends or the tournament officials came in, he'd be fully aware, other would have to prompt his attention.

The ref was already giving a count down. "One... Two... Three..."

 

"Oh my God it's... it's so... beautiful!" Topaz gasped. "Blood literally everywhere! Covering the whole stadium! I'd really really love to be the janitor right now!"

 

"Am I the only one freaked out by that girl?" Someone in the audience asked.

"Please......l-l-let....my baby nephew....know....I'm sorry....a-and I love her...." She said feeling the pain increase, and her power to talk grew less and less. She didnt expect to die, she wasn't hopeing to, she wanted to bring this honor to the filly she loved and cared for, but fate had other decisions.
