Title: TFS League Tag match
Description: The Spellblade Twins vs. Cador and Bolts
duskstalker - June 7, 2007 02:53 PM (GMT)
Arena: A rooftop. The area is mostly planar, with a low(about ankle-high) wall around the entirety of the roof, and a small, raised area with a door, presumedly leading to a flight of stairs. Anyone who falls from the roof will be warped to safety, but disqualified from the remainder of the match.
Victory conditions: knock-out, submission, and ring-out. When one member of a team is eliminated, the other continues.
A bubble of light appeared over the rooftop and slowly descended to the surface, smoke billowing over the area as it touched down. As the smoke cleared, two figures could be seen, one a female in elegent, gown-like robes, and the other a male in plate armour. They had their arms crossed and extremely confident expressions on their faces.
Once the smoke had cleared enough for the two to be seen clearly, they broke away from each other. Dash drew his sword and spun it at high velocity as he made arcs vertically and horizontally in front of his body before taking a firm grip on the sword and making a series of fancy swings.
As he did this, Diane formed a small light out of magic and made it dance around her before she shot it in the air and it exploded like a series of fireworks, leaving behind shimmering, cursive letters spelling "The Spellblade Twins" in the air.
Once they were done showing off, they stood back to back posing again, Dash holding his sword over his shoulder, and Diane holding one arm forward and the other back about shoulder high. If reputation is what was required to dominate this league, a flashy entrance like this would certainly be a crowd pleaser.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 08:00 PM (GMT)
When the SpellBlade Twins had finished showing off Bolts decided to enter the arena.
A dark cloub bursting with lightning suddenly began to form over the arena. As the rest began to wonder just what would happen a bolt of lightning shot down hitting the roof as Bolts appeared left hand flat on the ground and knees bent holding his scythe across his back with his right hand.
"Now then wheres Cador at?"
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 08:15 PM (GMT)
Suddenly the cloud stood lower into the playing field, making a fog effect. Then the cloud began converging and shaping itself into a humaniod shape.
"Who do you think got you here, Bolts! Ah well, ready to begin?" Cador said smugly.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 08:18 PM (GMT)
"Ya Ya Ya.....so....who you want to take care of first?" Bolts said eyeing the twins.
"Looks like she's got some magic on her side and he's just a sword player." Bolts said smiling gripping his scythe.
"I say we take care of them both at once with a little Heavans Wrath."
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 08:21 PM (GMT)
"I'd prefer to try Shocking Grasp myself, that way the sword player is toast." Cador replied, grinning.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 08:22 PM (GMT)
"HeHeHe just like you to want to play with the new toys." Bolts said as lightning began to circle around his scythe waiting for Cador to make his move.
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 08:27 PM (GMT)
Pulling an enormus amount of earth from the beside the building, It takes shape as it rises to the top of the building, and hovers beside Cador. "Ready Bolts!" Cador calls.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 08:28 PM (GMT)
"Shocking Grasp!!!" As Bolts said this all the lightning he had been storing was sent into the arm creating a magnetic effect around it.
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 08:30 PM (GMT)
Cador sent the giant magnetic hand toward the swordsman, hoping to knockout and send him out of the ring.
duskstalker - June 7, 2007 10:05 PM (GMT)
As the opponents prepared their attack, the sibling team got into a more relaxed stance. "Gee, that looks like it might pack a little punch," Dash said nonchalantly, "shall I take care of it, or do you want to?" Diane adjusted her stance a bit, saying "Oh, allow me," she then placed a hand on Dash's shoulder and declared, "RELOCATE!" In a flash of light, the Spellblade Twins disappeared as the hunk of earth flew harmlessly by.
The twins reappeared on the only high ground in the arena, the small structure housing the stairs. "I guess now it's our turn," Dash said, holding his sword out in front of his sister. Diane placed her hand on the flat side of the blade and repeated her previous delaration, "RELOCATE!" The crimson blade glowed for a moment and faded. Dash then sent the sword flying towards Bolts like a buzzsaw.
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 10:09 PM (GMT)
"Oh no you don't!" Cador said, grinning as he manipulated the giant, magnetic hand to pull the blade in its direction.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 10:55 PM (GMT)
"Nice save Cador now if you'll allow me..." Bolts raised his scythe high into the air.
"You two should really pay more attention in school." Bolts said maliciously.
"Raining Bolts!!" As Bolts said this lightning began to crash around the twins since they were currently the tallest objects in the area.
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 11:03 PM (GMT)
"Hehehe. Hail Crush!" Cador yelled as giant hail pellets rained on the area around the twins locations.
duskstalker - June 7, 2007 11:14 PM (GMT)
"and you two need to learn some less obvious tricks," Diane shot back, pointing up to the sky and forming a magic shield that deflected the lightning strikes. Meanwhile, Dash made some gestures, mostly for show, and his sword, using the teleportation magic it had absorbed earlier to warp around Cador's hunk of earth hacking away at it before returning to Dash's hand.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 11:18 PM (GMT)
At the twins reaction to his spell Bolts began to smile.
"Feel like mimicing one of my spells Cador?" Bolts said moving to the opposite side of the roof as Cador.
"Shock Quake!!" As Bolts said this he slammed his scythe into the ground waiting for Cador to do the same before sending the surge.
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 11:21 PM (GMT)
Making part of the remaining earth hand into an earth scythe, Cador did the same and sent out the surges. "Hope you can Fly!" Cador shouted to the twins as the ground shook from the surges.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 11:22 PM (GMT)
"Most likely but we're prepared for that to am I right Cador?" Bolts said increasing the surge further.
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 11:23 PM (GMT)
Cador just grins as the surges increase in power and length.
duskstalker - June 7, 2007 11:31 PM (GMT)
The twins each dropped to one knee to help keep their position on the unstable ground. "An earthquake on a rooftop?" Diane said rhetorically as large cracks started to form, "you probably should have thought that through a little better," Dash finished for her.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 11:36 PM (GMT)
((Alright we'll play along with this one but shock quake is an electric and an earth move. You see it sends focused surges of lightning through the ground thus if you stay on the ground you get electrocuted but we'll let that one slide just be prepared for the next one if we decide to use that attack again.))
"Hmph maybe so..." Bolts said gruffly.
"Hey Cador does it feel a bit windy up here to you???" Bolts said smiling
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 11:39 PM (GMT)
"Hehehe..." is all Cador says as he stands by Bolts and the wind picks up, forming a giant twister around the two of them, picking up debris that is left of the roof.
Bolts - June 7, 2007 11:40 PM (GMT)
"Oh I do so love this part." Bolts said letting the wind pick him up.
"Lightning Twister!!" As Bolts said this his body began circling ever faster around inside the twister until the wind itself became electrified.
"Ready when you are Cador!!"
Cador_2004 - June 7, 2007 11:46 PM (GMT)
Cador, still grinning, increased the strength of the twister, causing most of the roof to be sucked in and turned into debris, including the part that the twins are (were) standing on.
duskstalker - June 8, 2007 12:12 AM (GMT)
((All I saw in your description was shaking, not a mention of electricity going through the ground.))
The siblings each abandoned the structure heading in opposite directions. They circled the twister, hopping between the sections of the roof that still had enough support to stay in place.
When they met up at the other side of the twister dash drove his sword into the roof, striking a support beam through some stroke of luck and hung on with one hand while wrapping his other arm around his sister so they wouldn't get sucked in. "These guys have more half-assed finishers then they know what to do with!" he shouted over the wind, "let's show them some of the real thing!" Diane nodded and brought her hands up in front of her. "Hotter then any flame," she began to chant as a symbol like a stylized mushroom cloud appeared in front of her, "Brighter then any light," a second symbol, identical to the first apeared, stemming from the same point, "more volotile then any poison," a final symbol appeared, the trio forming a full "radioactive" symbol.
((...and this is a two turn attack, so until next time, kiddies... I'm gonna go with "never ask what hot dogs are made of"))
Bolts - June 8, 2007 12:23 AM (GMT)
"Oh dear..." Bolts said smiling.
"I think they're finally going to attack us Cador whatever shall we do?!" Bolts said bursting out in laughter.
"I think I know!!" Bolts said as his body was tossed out of the tornado high into the air as the clouds above began to circulate with lightning.
"Heavans..." Bolts paused waiting for Cador to finish the spell.
Cador_2004 - June 8, 2007 12:24 AM (GMT)
"Wrath!" Cador yelled after mimicking Bolts.
Bolts - June 8, 2007 12:26 AM (GMT)
As Cador finished the incantation the two swirls of lightning molded together forming one gigantic spin.
"In the name of God......BE GONE!!" As Bolts said this a gigantic blast of lightning came shooting down from the clouds in an effort to fully engulf the roof in lightning.
duskstalker - June 8, 2007 05:44 PM (GMT)
((So, wait, Bolts was talking from inside the tornado? Never mind the fact that breathing would be impossible, your voice wouldn't even carry to your own ears. While we're at it, this is, what, your fourth arena-affecting super finishing attack in a row? Yet you guys seem as fresh as when we started this battle, how much energy do you have?))
As the two prepared one more finisher, the symbol in front of Diane turned into a glowing green orb. With the tornado letting up, Dash uprooted his sword and hurled it at Cador with all his might as Diane finished the incantation for her spell. "Behold, the power that leaves nothing behind." and she launched the orb at Bolts as Dash's sword used the last of the teleportaion spell it had obsorbed to warp within inches of Cador, somewhere that would be devastating, without breaking the stupid no-killing rule. Meanwhile, Diane's Isotope spell was still heading towards Bolts, passing through his attack since lightning and radiation meant squat to each other. It looked like this was going to turn into a double KO.
Bolts - June 8, 2007 08:46 PM (GMT)
((Ah yes I see your point well actually the move we're doing now is our biggest finisher. Lightning Twister is probably only the size of a small twister at best and shock quake is just a small earth surge move. The reason they have so much effect is because of the environment you chose. If you had picked an open field this would really be the only finisher we have.))
"Oh crud..." Bolts said as the radiation came barroling towards him.
Thinking: "For the love of God Cador you better find a way out of this on your own."
"Lightning....Bolts." Bolts said quietly under his breath as his body formed and molded into that of a lightning bolt just as he had done to enter the arena before shooting down through the toxic blast of radiation. When he landed he fell over to his knees from exhaustion. The Heavans Wrath spell had remarcably not knocked him out for once but he doubted he would be able to use any more team attacks after this.
Cador_2004 - June 9, 2007 03:12 AM (GMT)
Caught off guard by the blade, it managed to prick his arm before deflecting the rest of it with the earth scythe that he had. then he stopped the twister while making an Ice Platform to keep himself from falling and to avoid the radiation.
duskstalker - June 9, 2007 05:26 PM (GMT)
((Ok, so, wait... what happened to the Heaven's Wrath, then? Would it still not wipe out the arena?))
Bolts - June 9, 2007 05:31 PM (GMT)
((Ya if you have a flying spell I recomend using it now i'll be fine since my lightning doesnt really affect me but in the interest of being fair i wont be using any of my high powered spells after this but my melee attacks will still be charged with lightning however Cador will still remain at full magical capabilities since heavans wrath doesnt affect him.))
Bolts finally stood up on the roof waiting for his attack to hit.
duskstalker - June 10, 2007 06:05 PM (GMT)
Teleportation was no good. No time for a defensive spell, especially so soon after casting Diane's second most powerful spell. Dash's sword could only absorb the effects of Diane's spells, which meant it was useless trying to defend aginst an attack of this magnitude. "Well... shit" Dash said, watching the inevitable descend. Diane, meanwhile scowled at Bolts, "This doesn't mean anything."
The attack hit, sending eletricity coursing through the twins' bodies. After a moment, both went flying off the rooftop and as they plummeted they disapeared in a flash of light.
((Unfortunately for me, I find flight to be grossly overused))
Bolts - June 11, 2007 03:15 AM (GMT)
Bolts looked up at Cador.
"It is done..."
((Oh neither of us can fly the attack just forces me up into the air and cador can only really fly via ice platforms but hey good fight and all that Hero show us our points. :D))
Hypocritical Hero - June 11, 2007 06:23 AM (GMT)
(( +10 is the regular rep gain from a regular victory.
You guys posted more way more then was necessary, not to mention you beat them through pure cheese. There's little honor in knocking the ground out from beneath an opponent who doesn't have the sufficient abilities to keep up.
+4 to Cador
+4 to Bolts
Explanation: -5 for Cheap victory. -1 for overabundant posting.
Note: I expect good guys to make clean wins Bolts, keep that in mind or I'll just change your alignment to the bad guys for you. ))
