open The Dark Tournament III (Closed)

[Hive King 2,001]

Blue Hurricane landed in the contestant lounge and began licking his wounds. They weren't too bad and they would heal just fine with a bit of spit and polish. The pegasus then yawned and fell into sleep, snoring loudly. Fast as he was, his stamina had taken a hit in that fight and he wanted to be in mint condition for his next match

"I really really hope I'm not going against that Snowstorm guy..." Blitz thought. He had already exhausted his max energy form, so he couldn't use it until the finals, when it was all ready to go. All he could depend on was his standards, which would prove to be difficult.

Graceful shook her head.

"She wasn't my first kill. nor will she be my last" She closed her eyes once more. "let me tell you a short story. My father killed my mother so I may be born with my current powers. I killed the pony that raised me as if I was her own daughter, not on purpose, but I was still her cause of death. From that point on my father treated me as his next heir. My magic has given me more magic to then I want, but has cursed me with equal amount of weakness. if you think the blood of one who would not show me respect would lay heavy on my mind, then you sir are mistaken. I grew up with understanding emotions, but never allowed to show or feel them" she opened her eyes

"The only death I regret is the death of Mist, the mare who I considered my mother. Do not fear me. I am one to be pitied, not feared" She rose from her spot and began to walk away. she was going to look for a place to wash off the blood before it stained her coat.

Thunder remained quiet, and calm. As she told her little story, a little movie played in his head as she spoke. Following the words of graceful, but still. Even though some sympathy came from thunder, he didn't have enough to pity her. It's just there's no reason to kill, no reason. There's always a way around it. There's always an option. Before he could let out a word, she left.

Blue Hurricane got up from his nap, feeling rejuvenated. As bad as his stamina was, it usually came back pretty fast after just a bit of rest. As far as opponents went, this particular scuffle had been in the mid-tier of difficulty. 

"So, anyone up for a game?" Blue Hurricane said, stretching out his spine

@,

Chain Mail blocked the strike with his own blade, appearing to be weaker, but when he used both hooves (since Zweihander means literally german for 2 hander) and pushed back the attack.

"Who ever said I trained in equestria. While it was Equestria that trained me, it was out of the nation. Ever here of the Fire Caves?" He asked, proceeding with his own follow up strike.

 

Launches attack towards Chain's Left shoulder.

Cant say that I have. I Trained in the Everfree Forest Where I learned the best training around.

 Magic helps when you are fighting. Keeps you alive, but I don't need magic anymore. I've gotten That good.

He said as he Smacks the blade across Chains right hoof.

@, @, "Gee you wearing a cape too? Oh buck... and i thought i was original hiding my face until the battle started... oh well..." She takes of the hood and looks at her opponent waiting.  "Now... i shall set out a few ground rules before we fight. 1)No staring at my cutie mark 2)No innapropriate moves 3)Teasing is allowed but insults are not. Break one of these three rules and i will kill you. Did i make myself clear? Now... let's have a good fight."

"Trust me, girl. In this crowd, you're not going to get that kind of discrepancy," said Juri. "Ever notice how all the refs are female twenty-somethings?"

 

"Either fight or kiss, damn it!" Some Stallion in the audience yelled.

 

"Oh, just shut up!" Juri barked. She regained her composure and returned to the fighters. "Alright girls, that's enough talk. Let's start the fight!"

@, @Dawnpath, Selune barely restricted herself from throwing a knife at that arsehole who dared speak. Selune made two steps forward suddenly launched herself forward as if proppelled by magic. Simultaneously her horn glowe as she casted a spell that grazed the surface in front of her opponent creating small debris that headed towards her opponent. As all this took place she readied herself for her next move... something shiny showed itself out of her cloak a big military knife enchanted with runes glowing all over it.

(Your characters do have access to the bracket. He should know its going to be Snowstorm vs Blitz.)

 

"It's a shame you aren't more forthcoming. You're face already betrays your thoughts." Said Snowstorm with a cocky attitude. Though, with a bit of irony, his own face briefly showed his thoughts as he glanced at the monitor screen. He was afraid that Solstice would be hurt. He had sensed power in her opponent, enough power to cause harm.

 

He quickly returned his attention to Blitz. "You have defeated the previous champion and thus you are now of significance. When I defeat you in the ring, your fame will become mine and thus bolster my own status as a living legend!"

"Pft, you think that just by saying you're going to win, you'll beat me? That cocky attitude will get you nowhere. As my twin brother states "The pride comes before the fall"." Blitz proclaimed as he gripped his double-edge staff tighter. "Boy, he is really asking for it..." Blitz stated. He could feel his anger rising inside of him. Now, he hungered for the blood of Snowstorm. It wouldn't be like last time, now it would be...death.

@,

(Since you said smack rather than slice I'm counting it as the flat of the blade.)

Chain Mail merely caught the blade as the flat of the zweihander hit his hoof. "Yes, not many ponies have heard of the fire caves. It's an active volcano in the Gryphon Kingdom. It's where I finished my training by killing the demon of hellfire in the middle of an eruption. It's symbolic or some crap like that. It's literally hell on earth." He said, wrenching the blade out of Starshielder's hooves.

(No more instant hit moves like strikes or slices. That's godmodding. I did it once to get you back for god modding me)

(Um that is not god modding. God modding would be making the other character do things like fight back or kill himself. Landing a strike on your oc ain't god modding)

 

Thunder looked at the scoreboards....his next fight was with crimson. "Why.....just why.....ugh" he said putting his head into his hooves.

[Hive King 2,001]

Blue Hurricane looked at Thunder, mirth gleaming in his eyes. 

"Awww, are you afraid of Crimson?" the pegasus mocked, his spark returning after his nap. Besides, he still felt cheated when Mao killed himself and annoying another pony would alleviate that

"Don't lie to me with a facade of confidence. You're weak now. Beating Sole took out all that you had. I can sense your spirit now!"

(actually yes it is. By landing a hit without giving the opponent time to react you are still Godmodding because you are saying that they did nothing to defend themselves.)

Thunder turned back to blue hurricane "no....it's more of the matter that I know every opponent I've fought I've known their moves....I want a challenge. Like someone new someone I don't know....oh well" he sighed

"A challenge? How foolish" Blue Hurricane chuckled. "I just hope that my next foe is weak so I may kill them slowly" the pegasus said, mirth clear on his face. "Then again, if you want new moves, perhaps you'll fight me later" Blue Hurricane said, shrugging noncommitally.

Thunder shrugged "ya it would be nice to see how fast you are.....though is there any reason to kill others....besides a stupid paper, you don't need to kill others for pride. It's just not how it works in life" said thunder trying to reason with blue hurricane.

"Pride? I do it because it lets me show off" Blue Hurricane retorted, feeling offended at the paper comment. "Money just keeps food on the table and entertainment in my brain" the pegasus reasoned before taking a bite out of the snack table. The chips crunched loudly

"Then get another job, killing people is just gonna kill you in the end, you'll be the one to suffer. And how can you want to kill others, how is that entertainment. There has to be something better, what happens if you fall in love huh, or have a kid. Do you want to put them in danger constantly, do you want to die knowing you couldn't make your child's life any better?" He questioned him.

"I don't need a wife or kids, my friends are good enough. They are fine with it and actually help me kill" Blue Hurricane confessed, still chewing on the chip. "I don't acre if I suffer so as long as I leave my mark on someone before I die. I'll be remembered, one way or another

Graceful returned after cleaning the blood off her coat to notice Blue Hurricane and Thunder Mane talking about killing. She also heard the last statement about hoping his opponent would be weak.
She snorted at this.

@,
"You talk as if killing another is a sport. I allow killing as long as a good reason stands, but to kill in cold blood and just to gain fame?" she paused "You are a greater monster then me" She looked up at the board. "Looks like your next opponent is me"
@@synangel,
She turned to face Thunder "He is not going to listen to you. Even if you bring up valid points. He decided on being a monster and that is who he is. I am a pony forced to take the name monster and that is who I am. You, however, will not understand why killing is acceptable to us because you lived a different style of life"
"I say this not as an insult, but a cold fact of life"

Thunder just couldn't handle this, so he snapped, enough with the sympathy act. "alright! You know what look, I don't like killing. But I've done my share of killing, I've done so many things. And I thought it was fine, perfect....I was comfortable. It took me a while to finally realize that it's not ok, there's other options then killing, YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND THEM. Look I'm not saying your a monster, you aren't a monster. Your not, so don't call yourself that. And no one should pity you either, because guess what. YOUR HERE" he said pointing at her "TA DAAA, you still are alive. You made it through. You still can change. You still have a chance, now take that chance before it takes you........to many don't realize that....." He spoke letting his head fall.

"Oooh, I'm so frightened" Blue Hurricane mocked Graceful. "Truly, your name inspires fear in the hearts of the weak willed" the pegasus laughed.

"Oh microbes? Disease causing micro organisms....sounds like you. A weak....pathetic...and annoying little shit....that never stops hurting others... Sounds a lot like you.

"Really? I thought you respected my speed" Blue Hurricane said, laughing harshly as he did. "Now you, you are a slimy parasite who can't even get the job done" Blue Hurricane chided. "After all, your little "morality" sermon has turned into the ravings of a lunatic" the pegasus laughed, tears flowing freely in his mirth
