"OK! THIS IS IT FIGHT FANS! THE MAIN EVENT WILL BE A NO HOLD BAR MATCH BETWEEN THE TEAM LEADERS OF THE ARMY OF DARKNESS AND THE SWORD BREAKERS!" Holding her arms out-stretched to each leader she adressed the audience, smiling and trying to supress her excitement. "FIGHTING FOR THE SWORD BREAKERS IS THE MIGHTY SHADOWFYRE WITH HIS CREEPY PET UDARIO!" A barrage of cheers and taunts rings out from the crowd. "CALM DOWN PEOPLE! WHE STILL HAVE ANOTHER LEADER TO ANNOUNCE!" Hijinx parades around the ring with a huge sign with bold letters that flash "SHUT UP" until the crowd quiets themselves. " NOW THEN; CHALLENGING HIM FOR THE ARMY OF DARKNESS IS THE INCOMPERABLE DUDE911666!" Pulling a stamp from her pocket she puts a stamp on each of their foreheads. "Any foul play and you'll receive a painful shock, so keep it clean or else! BEGIN!" :woot:

This shall be a fight to remember.

*handshakes DUDE911666*

(I'll only be on 8:00 to 10:00 am pacific time. Then I will come back on 7:30 to 11:30 pm pacific time...Don't rush me or anything, I have personal business and this is the only times I can be here.)

DUDE911666, win or lose...I shall remember you as a friend, and a worthy opponent.

DUDE walks into a forest filled with trees that reached towards the heavens. There stands ShadowFyre, ready to shake hands and get ready for the fight. DUDE looks at the offered hand, but rejects it.

I trust you, but as of right now, you are my enemy and I will make you feel pain.

With the cold words, he began to run deeper into the lush forest. He rushed past large trees, stumps, open fields, and a river, but never found an area he wanted to fight in. Finally, he came to an area covered with sturdy trees. All around him, these large oaks stood tall and proud. This was the place Shadow would lose. DUDE jumped behind a tree and waited for Shadow to appear. Upon Shadow's entrance into the area, DUDE spoke out loud.

I see you. I see Udario too. I will not let you keep your dragon in this fight.

DUDE begins to chant and casts a charm spell over Udario. MIEU LEI!!!!!!!! (40 SP)

*Shadowfyre smirks and shrugs*

Udario is charmed eh? Well as much you will be fool!

*Shadowfyre casts Restorative on Udario*

You will pay!!!

*Shadowfyre jumps up in the sun glaring sky, nearly at the top of the trees and somersaults, leaving the glare upon DUDE911666's eyes. DUDE could not see anything while looking up, but as soon as Shadowfyre landed back down the ground, he casted Psychotic Spiral.*

Eat that for your own size!

*Psychotic Spiral causing multiple attacks in a tornado fashion with his shining blade of death, which also caused a great deal of damage for such a small level weapon he has and sliced down the trees that were in his way. It causes Confusion and Poison instantly upon DUDE911666, and also decreases 80 SP from Shadowfyre, but he just smirks and waits till Udario gets his mind back*

Die!!!

DUDE wanders around in a circle from confusion. He starts to stumble backwards, tripping over logs and tree branches. Upon falling on the ground, he reaches in his pack and spills an antidote all over himself. He climbs to his feet, and glares into the eyes of Shadow.

Pretty cheap...getting the mods to ok such an attack. But all the Psychotic Spirals in the world won't save you from my blades.

DUDE jumped to his feet and hid behind a tree. He began to tree hop, staying forever out of sight of Shadow. He made it all the way to his left side undetected. He pulled from his pack a MOON and threw it on Shadow, knocking him asleep on the spot.

Now Udario, prepare to die.

Udario-"You shall pay for doing that to master!"

*Udario moved our of the way and morphed a bit larger to a dragonic dragon with four tails and four wings which spreaded all around and covered the sun, bringing darkness into the scene*

Udario-"Die you pitiful human!"

*Udario grabbed Shadowfyre by the back with his clawed feet and spreaded its wings further and higher, flying up in the sky and everything now is shadowed. No light surrounds the place. Then suddenly Udario eyes bursted with blue flames, causing it wings to bring such fire in the scene and brightened the arena a bit, but very little*

Udario-"FIRE!!!!"

*He opened its giant dragon mouth and what came out was one large gigantic blast of flames down at DUDE911666. He goes ignited and began to rush all around the arena, but Udario from above growled and looked even evil and more deadly in its glare*

Udario-"I should have killed you long ago, no worries. I shall make up for that time....Right now!!!"

*Udario swung it's feet up and grabbed Shadowfyre by the grips of its clawed hands, and growled more at DUDE911666 which was still being burnt, he ran all around the woods causing forest fires and animals to run away from him*

Udario-"You can run, but cannot hide pathetic pest!"

*Then woke Shadowfyre, which he looked down and saw that he was way up, and then looked at Udario in it's dragonic form. He smiled and Shadowfyre hugs him*

Shadowfyre-"Let's take him down!"

DUDE began his stealth running again. He dodged between the embered trees and burning grass, using the smoke as a screen. In the small distance between the two and DUDE, he saw Shadow barely awake, and Udario hovering over him. DUDE knew what he must do. DUDE rolled in the embered trees, ignoring the fire. He covered himself in dark soot and began to walk the way the smoke blew. He walked up behind the little dragon and spoke to it.

I've come to realize something while you burned me. Your still a low level monster. What level are you? Three? Thought so. Good bye.

DUDE swiped his Master Blades out of their sheath's and cut the little dragon's neck. The low level dragon could not block such a strong attack from such a high level weapon. He then tossed another MOON on Shadow to put him back to sleep. Upon impact of the MOON, Shadow fell to the ground and slept again.

Now that it's one on one, your a-- belongs to me. Sweet dreams.

Udario-"You thought I was level 3?! How foolish of you to think that!!! And guess what pest?! I'm a shapeshifter!"

*Udario was cut, and suddenly that cut formed back in a healed skin and process, like there wasn't even a scar now. So Udario got really angry and grabbed DUDE911666 with his giant dragonic claws, and looked to him face to face*

Udario-"I will crush you!"

*Udario began pressing harder and harder, until DUDE911666 was crying out of pain, the crowd watches from a television. Udario presses harder and harder while Shadowfyre slep silently beyond them. He crushes the ribs of DUDE91166, but soon felt bored and threw him at a tree, knocking him and the tree down at the same time*

You want to piss me off?! Fine! Here I come you d--ned dragon!!!!!!

DUDE charged the "godly" dragon and began to climb up it's tail. Though the dragon was huge, it was to slow. DUDE sprinted up it's tail and back even before Udario could turn it's head. Once DUDE was on the upper back of the dragon, he waited for the head to completely turn.

I've figured you out. Your a shapeshifter, but your simply immune to physical attacks. Your not lvl. 60, you just need me t ospell cast your a-- back to whatever swamp you spawned from. TAKE THIS!!!!!

Udario opened it's mouth ready to spew fire, but DUDE jumped in the mouth and began his casting chant.

GAN DON!!!!!!!!!!!

A large boulder formed inside the throat ofthe beast, and got caught in it's throat. DUDE cjumped out of the mouth, onto the back, and ran down the beasts back. Upon the ground, he healed himself with a Health Potion. The large dragon struggled for air, but got none. It fell to the ground and suffocated. Once it died, it returned to it's original form of a baby dragon, but had an enormous boulder jut from it's throat.

*Suddenly Shadowfyre woke up and looked at DUDE911666, then to the hurt Udario. I run to Udario and pull out a ressurect out and cast it on UDario. He awakes and flies on top of Shadowfyre's shoulder again, slumping a bit and growling at DUDE911666*

Die you pathetic human!

*Shadowfyre charged at DUDE911666 and casted Deathbringer on him, which pummeled him at the end of the forest and hitting two trees at the same time, and falls down. He struggles to get up and stares at Shadowyfre and Udario*

So you think. I'm sick of your uber-god dragon! If I must, so be it, take this!

DUDE runs up to Shadow and attacks full force with his Master Blades, directly on Shadow's knees. Shadow fell to the ground due to his sliced knee caps. DUDE jumped backwards, avoiding anything Shadow may have done. He got Shadow to his knees, he accomplished what he came to do. DUDE began to ignore Udario and it's weak attacks, and concentraited on the real enemy, Shadow.

No ammount of help you get from that dragon of yours will help any. It's a weak creature that only takes about 10 or 15 HP from me. Your my real threat, and now, you will die.

DUDE poured a Mages Soul over himself, restoring his SP. He dashed for the forest again, going into the cover of the trees and bushes. DUDE knew Shadow wouldn't be able to follow the speedy Twin Blade if Shadow had a shredded knee. He dove under the thick foliage and waited for his moment to attack.

*Shadowfyre gets up and smirks softly, then laughs menacingly*

MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What a duel! You shall run you scaredy-cat!

*Shadowfyre casted Repth on himsefl and is fully cured, looks around and tells Udario to morph again*

Udario-"Right-eo Master!"

*So Udario morphs into a jeep and Shadowfyre jumps in on the driver's seat, ready to run over the cat that runs like the scared pest he is. Shadowfyre didn't have to drive, Udario pressed on the gas and fired through the forest, speeding faster and faster until the view of the running DUDE911666 was seen by Shadowfyre, but didn't make a sound so he could hear*

Udario-"Psst...master, Let me help you."

*Udario morphs into a large scorpion, and plunges into the area where DUDE911666 was scared and looking all around in paranoia. The claws of the now scorpion Udario, grabs DUDE911666 and clenches its claws harder and harder, giving Shadowfyre time to attack*

Udario-"You cannot escape now, nor can you attack or cast anything. You arms are also grasped in my claws!"

*Dude gulps and Shadowfyre walks out from the trees, and with arms crossed. He reaches DUDE911666's face and spits on his leg*

I swear...a JEEP?!?! Your rediculous! If you want to fight dirty, so be it. My arms may be pinned, but look at this!

DUDE began to chant his GAN ZOT spell again. a huge rock came crashing from the heavens onto the huge scorpion. Udarios innards spilled everywhere, and it reformed to it's flattened, pancake self. Upon being released, DUDE jumped at Shadow, who was stunned at DUDE's escape. DUDE grabbed Shadow by the throat and burried a Master Blade through his chest.


You like playing god? I like playing the devil.

With those words, he riped the blade out of the body and licked Shadow's blood off the blade. He then spit the blood into Shadow's eyes, causing Shadow to be temporarily blinded. DUDE then turned and ran back into the woods. he jumped over trees, dashed under bushes and lept over the streams. He found a small spot where Shadow would not find him, even in his "jeep", and burried himself.

In the distance, Shadow bellowed in pain, and DUDE enjoyed the cry of agony.

*Shadowfyre was near at death, so he casted a Health drink on himself, and feeling quite better now. He looked at his chest and there was no scar of which DUDE911666 has slided his blade in me.*

Shadowfyre-"Udario, please rest. I will come back for you, do not worry."

*Shadowfyre burned with anger and roared, while stampeding through the forest and grabbing DUDE911666 by the neck and then saying*

Shadowfyre-"It ends here!"

*He prays and gives another slice of his slayer at DUDE911666 and suddenly the possible chance of DEATH effect worked. DUDE911666 laid down on the ground, dead and I was down on my knees panting*

(IT's finally over, I have to go!)

*The crowds yells and roots for Shadowfyre*

DUDE911666

Tactics - 8

Explanation: Great job on explaining your methods and reasons for your attacks. I especially loved how you frequently explained to the readers why you thought your attacks should hit, instead of just assuming that they hit and making random attacks. That's what tactics are all about.

SP Regulation - 10

Explanation: A fair player should never get less than 10 in this category. Listed each of the spells casting costs, and properly waited after using his huge costing Miu Lei. Used a Mage's Soul to recover in order to use his spells later on. Great work.

Fairness - 10

Explanation: Dude never was unfair in his posting, he put logical, though sometimes they were on a limb for hope, explanations towards why he believed his attacks should work, and what they should do. There weren't any forced hits that I could see.

Post Quality - 8

This is the type of post I'm looking forward to. Great explanations and easy to visualize fight scenes. Instead of ignoring his own defensive maneuvers, he said his intentions for his movements each time he did them, (i.e. "avoiding anything Shadow may have done."). Though a statement like this isn't concrete, it SHOULD make Shadow think more and try harder to make sure that his next movement would connect, taking into account Dude's evasive mannerisms. Though his quality of post wasn't completely perfect, he got the point across. Everyone could learn from his posts.

Technicality - 9

Dude obviously read the posts made by Tirath about 2 actions per post. (i.e. Attack, Attack or Attack, Defend, etc.) Any posts that had more than 2 actions were just as we hoped-- small, simple actions that wouldn't affect his opponents position in the least. Well done.

Overall - 9

Shadowfyre

Tactics - 10

Keeping aside all of the remaining categories, your tactics, though questionable, were flawless. Every time you attacked, you made it VERY difficult for Dude to ever escape or counter attack with his turn. Well done in this category.

SP Regulation - 7

You didn't use any spells after your first 'Psychotic Spiral' attack. Instead you buffed it all off on Udario, who you didn't give any limitations to for his SP. Though the rules for Guardians haven't been enforced wholly, it stands to believe to anyone with a conscience that making it be able to perform techniques unlimitedly is a bit inconsiderate. For this, I take off 3 points. Self-restrainted and moderation is necessary in fair roleplay.

Fairness - 4

Now I get to rant. Every single action you did was forced, and you described what would happen to your opponent after you 'hit' him. This didn't give him any chances to evade. Also, you abused your Guardian so much that I know that Guardians will be toned down HEAVILY after this tournament.

These were all done within 2 posts, I believe.

Post Quality - 7

The post quality was so so. There was a bit too much dialogue for my liking, and it wasn't as easy to visualize without scratching your head at how unbelievable some of the actions were. But it wasn't that bad.

Technicality - 5

This doesn't need much explanation. The amount of posts where there were only 2 major actions performed in it were nearly 0.

Overall - 6

The fact that Shadow's posts were VERY unfair towards Dude and did not enable him to effectively counter without taking a hit-- AND since many of Dude's attacks were shrugged off as weak, even though Dude is a very high level, cuts down on Shadow's overall score.

I really appologize for my opponent. He broke a LOT of rules in this fight, and I feel someone has to appologize for his actions in this fight. This was, by no means, a Main Event...*sigh*

Saddly this type of posting is what I was afraid would happen with everyone tempted to play god. Shadow despite your great technique, the lack fairness and realism have insured that you simply don't deserve to win this match.

Dude can now comfortably bathe in victory fanfare!

:nono: "BAD BAD SHADOWFYRE! I TOLD YOU NO CHEAPY TYPE TRICKS, SO NOW YOU PAY THE CON CI QUENCES! THAT DRAGON WASN'T FAIR, YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED! THE WINNER OF THIS ROUND BY DEFAULT IS DUDE!" Walking up to dude she snaps her fingers and the stamp is mysticaly erased. "OK AUDIENCE, SHALL WE GIVE MR. SHADOWFYRE AND HIS TINY DRAGON THEIR JUST DESSERTS?" Cheers from the stands confirm her decision and she sneers in an evil manner. :nono: Her expression suddenly turns hostile and she begins to appear angry. " FAIR AS FAIR CAN BE, HERE'S A PUNISHMENT BY ME! A TINY 20 BILLION VOLT SHOCK SHOULD SURFICE!. " The sky and earth around shadowfyre turn pitch black. A giant bolt of electricity blast the twin blade, leaving him blackened and twitching on the ground.

(Uhhhh, Dude is the Twinblade, you just shocked him :rolleyes: , Shadow's a Heavey Blade)

Congratulations DUDE!

Dude +2 Levels!! +1000GP!

Shadow +*We're thinking about this first reward* +500GP!
