Fighting yet again...for grass. Have fun killing each other.

Christmas time, the time for joy . . . What a load of bull . . . Were Geoff's thoghts exactly as he got home from school at the start of Winter Break (before thanksgiving). In his mind, he had hopes that this Christmas would be a peaceful and joyous Christmas, but in his heart, he had felt stress like that he had never known before. His heart was greived to see one of the only girls that had even talked to him, let alone be his friend, in years, go to someone who did not fully appreciate her. While they still remained friends, they hardly saw eachother, due to her boyfriend's paranoia about her. If he doesn't even trust her, then how does he expect to keep up in the game of love. The first building block of a relationship is love, and without that, the structure will crumble. I must be there for her when it does. Truthfully, Geoff was scared that if someone got too close to him, they would find the various secrets he had tucked away within his very soul, and betray him. He trusted her well enough, but it was the fact that he might get hurt again. So, he decided to use his usual medium for getting rid of stress; videogames. He decided to try to further his skill in 'The World'. He logged onto his shiny new computer, courtesy of his grandpa, and logged on.

LOGON: xL337H4X0RM4ST3R
PASSW: ***********

As the golden rings disappeared, he noticed one of his old buddies, Slicer, who had gone Hacker Hunting with him, standing there. Before he could barely say Hi, Slicer said, "Hello H4X0R, I need to get some aromatic grass for a special event, do you want to duel me?" H4X0R thought about this for a moment. He will most likely hand me my ass on a silver platter. . . But this is more of an even duel than that duel against Asura and Hacorie. . . Even if that did get called off . . . and if I win, I get furthered toward an unknown special event . . . nothing to lose, so . . .

"Sure, on one condition, we both go gagged, that way, we cannot use spells, and we cannot heal. Deal?"

Patience is a virtue... but I don’t want fricken virtue! Slicer had been pacing around the front of the Chaos Gate, waiting for someone or something to duel. He had heard about the Special Event. When he saw what he needed he almost fell backwards. Well, he actually did fall backwards, hitting someone, and falling into the river, get carried away by the current, and then saved by a random fishing boat. All in less than three minutes, really. He was still slightly soaked in water, but that didn’t stop him from waiting for someone to kill.

After a while, he heard the sound of someone logging in. Looking towards the source, he noticed it was xL337H4X0RM4St3R. Some newbie who had make a name too long to pronounce unless you knew leet. Slicer had also been in a quest with him. The main reason, really, was to scout out Nadia, who Slicer had been surveying, to see if she could join the SB. After a dumb and annoying journey across a field, Slicer saw that she was ok. Given a couple of weeks, she would have been awesome, but then she joined the Radical Dreamers. Slicer sighed, remember how he had almost gotten someone for his clan, but been denied because he was too slow to act.

”Hello H4X0R, I need to get some aromatic grass for a special event, do you want to duel me?” The words that came out didn’t even sound like what Slicer would normally say. He would have said something along the lines of, ”Duel me or die.” He smiled, thinking that maybe next time, he would say something like that.

”Sure, on one condition, we goth go gagged, that way, we cannot use spells, and we cannot heal. Deal?” This was an odd request. Not being able to use spells or heal was really a major disadvantage to H4X0R, yet he had chosen these rules. Either he was more a newbie than Slicer thought, or something was going on. Whatever the reason, Slicer accepted. He then moved towards the Chaos Gate and shouted out the keywords he had chosen. ”Bursting Passed Over Hypha!” Three golden rings descended upon Slicer, as they took him away to the field.

The field was a Wood field. Instead of a green field, though, it was the colors of autumn. Leaves were scattered across the entire field, covering up the real floor of the field. Trees without leaves were scattered across the entire field. Mushrooms appeared here and there. It was quite refreshing from the normal elemental extreme fields that Slicer usually went to.

As he entered, slight memories had emerged. This was the exact same field that Slicer had gotten his first level at. He smiled, remember what had happened. Suddenly, he turned around, facing H4X0R. ”Just because your level 1 doesn’t mean I’m gonna hold back.” These were the last words Slicer said, before he gagged his own mouth. It was an odd feeling, being gagged, but if this was what it took to gain Aromatic grass, he would have to accept it for the time being.

He pulled out his Magnifier, held it upon his right shoulder with his right hand, and using his left hand, he motioned for H4X0R to start.

SP: 55/55

"Just because you are level 1 doesn't mean that I'm gonna hold back." Were the last words that Slicer said before gagging himself and making a motion for H4X0R to attack. H4X0R would not let his hot-headedness get in his way in this duel, and he did not wish to lose control of his speech like he had in the duel vs. Shiki. He did not wish to lose one of those scarce friends that he had made in 'The World'.

"May the L337357 win!" H4X0R said as he gagged himself. While it would prevent spells, skills, healing, it would also prevent him from aggrovating the "enemy" and giving him a drive to win. So, this meant that this would be an ultimate test of blade skills.

H4X0R decided to analize the enemy before he would attack. The analysis took but a few seconds foir H4X0R (This is just eye analysis [NOT HACKING!!!]) He could see the large weapon that Slicer held, which constituted that he had immense strength. He also noted the rare Suzaku Fire Pants that shimmered. He had made the "noobish" mistake of mistaking the shimmer of those pants of an affect of a mod on the character during the "hacker" hunt. He hadn't personally witnessed Slicer's strength, so he was "unwarned, unarmed", as the old saying (reversed) went.

H4X0R decided that the most dangerous part of Slicer was his strength and his weapon. If he could find a way to disable it, then he might have a chance. But there would still be the matter of the strength to deal with. . .

H4X0R decided to take the offensive. But he would make a tricky move. He would strike where the blade couldn't reach him fast enough. He lunged for Slicer. At the exact time that Slicer was going to slash, H4X0R slid under his legs, and did a backflip, making sure to plant his feet into Slicer's back and jump. Slicer tripped, and fell. H4X0R landed on his feet and got into a defensive position.

Now starts the war H4X0R said to himself through the gag.

”May the L337357 win!” It was a wonder really, how one could be so odd. Shaking off the feelings that he was fighting a complete and utter newbie, he sighed.

Leet dude, which is what Slicer thought of him right now, seemed to be summing up Slicer. It was quite an odd site indeed; a newbie trying to sum up an opponent of much more skill and power. How he would win was a real test of his abilities. Perhaps I should go easy on him? Nah, I need to get some grass.

Slicer watched as leet dude launched an attack at him. Moving his weapon, Slicer made an attempt to kill the dude in one fatal blow. Not to Slicer’s surprise, leet dude was able to dodge the attack, along with get behind Slicer. The leet dude did a back flip, pushing Slicer on his back, making him stumble slightly forward, and falling. The floor broke his fall slightly, causing dead leaves to crackle slightly, along throw them into the air.

Pushing himself up with two arms, he got onto his feet, and picked up his Magnifier. Throwing the sword into the ground, he picked out a few stray pieces of leaves out of his head. Afterwards, he did a quick stretch, before taking up his Magnifier again.

Looking towards his opponent, he sort of smirked/smiled, before charging towards him. Slicer quickly moved his weapon to behind his back and held it with both of his hands. As he neared his opponent, he made a quick overhead slash towards the opponent.

SP: 55/55

The site would have been enough to make H4X0R burst out laughing. He had knocked Slicer to the ground, and he had landed in a pile of leaves. As Slicer got up, H4X0R noticed the golden and brown leaves spread throught his hair. What would have made H4X0R laugh even harder was that he had stabbed his sword in the ground to pick the leaves out of his hair. H4X0R took this opportunity to check his own defenses. It was a good thing too, because the second that Slicer finished fixing his looks, he picked up his overly-large sword, and charged. There was a little distance between the two, so H4X0R saw the attack coming.
H4X0R counted his possible actions. 1)I can try a dodge again, but I don't think that I will be able to pull it off; he is most likely expecting it. 2)I could try to block it, but that probably not work, because his strength compared to mine would crush me, leaving me defensless for him to finish me off. . . A mental lightbulb turned on in his head. What if I hit the side of the sword as it is coming down? If executed at the correct moment, it can break his guard, and also allow me to escape harm completely! But I have to strike just right . . .
H4X0R had no more time to plot, Slicer was almost there. It looked as if Slicer was going to do one of those powerful "guillotine" swings again, and H4X0R had to count to exactly 3 when Slicer started his swing.
1. . . 2. . . 3! H4X0R struck from the left. It deflected Slicer's blade to the right, and left a big chunk of open space to slice. H4X0R used the moment of opportunity and struck with an upward spin-jump, with the blade outstreched. It left a giant gash on Slicer's skin and a slice in his clothing. It may not have done a lot of damage, but little hits like this were what what will win the war! H4X0R thought as he landed outside of Slicer's reach for the second time. . .

(OOC: Please stop God-Moding hits... the first time I was gonna let you past, but come on? I would have spun around, knocking you with my elbow. Oh, and keep track of your SP, even if we aren’t going to use SP.)

As Slicer’s weapon started coming down, leet dude smacked the blade from the right. The force from the blow was surprisingly powerful, considering the class and level difference. Even if he had been able to hit the weapon, it shouldn’t have slid this much off course. Slicer had put the full force of a blow behind the weapon, even if leet dude had hit the weapon with all his power, the blade should have been able to at least hit his shoulder. No matter now...

As the blade went into the ground, a swirl of leaves fled into the air, becoming quite a colorful display. The Magnifier had sunken in the soft earth beneath. Suddenly, a slight glitch caused Slicer’s body to stop moving. He would have released his weapon, and jumped back to avoid the next attack, but for some reason, his body froze up for just a few seconds. It was enough time for leet dude to execute a move similar to tiger claws.

As control was regained by Slicer, he felt a slight ting of pain coming from his arm, where the Twin Blade had hit. It did minimal damage, so Slicer didn’t have to really worry about it at all. He quickly got his weapon out of the ground with a sharp tug, sending a couple more leaves to go into the air. Positioning the weapon upon his shoulder, he prepared for his next attack.

Lowing his body level, Slicer slid his legs apart slowly. He had kept the front bent, yet the back was a held as a complete straight line. Pushing off from his front leg, he pushed himself from his crouching position into a complete sprint. As he moved closer to the opponent, he bent one of legs, and quickly straightened it again, causing him to move into the air, yet doing a front flip. Moving the sword from it’s resting position, Slicer made a quick overhead slash, hoping to split the opponent’s skull.

Landing, he quickly turned around, just incase there would be a counterattack.

SP: 55/55

(OOC: Sorry, I didn't know that was a G-mod, and PKers,m I am working on it, so please, no requesting to kill me O.O;;)

H4X0R was outskilled. Even without the use of skills, he knew he would lose. So he decided to go the way of the old samurai that existed in fudal Japan. He was a wounded animal, and he knew it. He had been lucky with the last hit, but lady luck would most likely stop serving him soon. He decided to commit suicide. So, he carved into the ground in legible letters his message to Slicer. Then, he sat on the ground and drew his sword. He wondered how it would feel to die in 'The World'. He hadn't experienced it before; he was a 'death virgin' as a comedian would call it.
As he looked at it for a second, he saw the glimmer. Then, he put on a stoical face, and shoved it through his abdomen, and cut in the shape of the symbol for Fire. He did all this with a straight face. Then, he drew the sword from his body and sheathed it. He suddenly felt the relief of death close in around him.

If you are wondering about what the note said, it said,

"Slicer, you were an honorable opponent.
You deserve the aromatic grass.
Maybe we can do this again when I get stronger.
