Continued from: HERE

Weiss's hand went cold.  Very cold.  Ice cold.  As cold as cold can get.  With wide eyes I spun on the heels of my boots to peer at my partner - or what was left of her.  Her body was slowly disintegrating, coiling into Omnillium in the air, like a cloud of rainbow essence. "Weiss!!" I squealed with a frightened redness crossing my cheeks as my only remnant of my old world left me before my eyes. "Where are you going?! Don't leave me!!" I screamed, throwing my arms around her body as her shoulders began to unravel into the fabric of the Omniverse, but the sudden force only accelerated the process; the upper half of her torso shattered into extravagantly colored shards of glass, disappearing into the world like the rest of her. "Stop! Give Weiss back!" I cried, tears streaming down my cheeks like waterfalls, mixing in with the ether Weiss's body was becoming - or had become. Before I could even register it, nothing was left of the ivory huntress. Nothing but a silver, crown-shaped hair pin.

"DAMN IT! DAMN IT ALL!!" I screamed, uncaring for the terrified onlookers, gazing at me with incredulous, pitiful and exasperated expressions.

"Who is that weird girl?"


"Aww, poor dear..."

"Someone's got 'er knickers in a knot..."

Clenching a fist around the hair pin and wiping my cascading tears on my ebony sleeve, I dashed from the restaurant, the spiked object drawing crimson liquid from my palm, flowing across the glassy surface. "Weiss... Weiss... Weiss..." I continued to sob her name as I ran from the building, the soft earth shifting beneath my feet with each panicked step until-

Thud

"Woah kid, what's the rush?"

I crashed into a solid body and was sent skittering onto my backside from the recoil, looking up through watery eyes at a head of greenish-gold hair, hanging down in heavy, neat locks. I wiped my eyes once more and gawked at the person who had interrupted me; it was a woman, likely no more than thirty, one hand on her hip and the other reaching out to help me up. "Got ants in your pants or somethin'?" She asked as I tightly gripped her delicate hand and let her haul me to my feet.

"My friend... she's gone..." I sobbed, looking down into the snow, clenching the pin tight. "What? Gone? You mean dead?" The woman asked, tilting her head in a confused manner. I shook my head in a fashion that meant neither yes or no. "I don't know... I don't know!!" I cried and crouched suddenly, crying wildly once more with my head between my knees.

I squeaked as I felt a pair of arms lift me from the ground, one under my knees, the other behind my head. "Shushushush... I'll help you. Just calm down, let me take you home." She whispered soothingly, and I dug my face into her black trench coat, tears soaking into the midnight material. "Can you tell me your name?" She asked sweetly.


"R-Ruby..."

"How old are you?"

That question took me a moment to answer. How long had I been in the Omniverse? I was fifteen before I came here, and my birthday hadn't been very far away, so...

"Sixteen... I think..." I sighed into the woman's coat, feeling my tears starting to fade. "Good girl." She crooned, gently stroking the back of my head. "My name's Wynrel. Pleasure to meet you Ruby." She whispered, and I nodded weakly into her chest.

Quote:And with that, this fight has been officially set-up! The next post is Skeletor's, and it is officially the first post of the fight, and the start of the timer. After that, the call-system is in effect. 

I've never played before and it seems to be good. Is there an Omniverse-member game I can join?

Transferring 200 OM from Luci to Yukki. Not for sex, that was incidental, but because he fulfilled his contracted quest.

I, as Dawn Snow, am hereby challenging King Ghidorah to an in character fight. I would enjoy using the site standard rules with the exception of 1000 words per post. To be confirmed by Ghidorah.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VISION/SUN/FORMER MCNINJA/GAIGE! (edit: also OPTIMUS PRIME)

Behold, a separate OOC thread, in order to keep our calling and other relevant discussion from confusing the main Assault thread. 

To start - relevant details restated for ease-of-access: 


The Arena:
Underneath the Town of Darkshire

Skeletor's doom drill has come near to piercing through Darkshire's best defences, but a team of primes and secondaries have managed to break through into the tunnel underground. Here, Light is quite dim and the earth is quite uneven - Those with legs will find themselves constantly struggling to keep their stance in the harsh angles of the cavern, and the already disturbed earth creates the hazard of cave-ins if the Forces in Conflict are careless with their munitions. Here, the air is hard to breathe, and insects crawl out of their underground homes to mingle with the invaders. most of them are harmless nuisances, but Dracula's evil stretches into even the earth, and thus there also exists the rarities of poisonous or oversized beasts stalking the newly made cave, breaking out of the earth at a moment's notice.

The main concern of the forces gathered underneath Darkshire are each other, however - Demons and wraiths stalk the tunnels, and horrifying zerg besides. Doglike creatures with an unbreakable tenacity, vicious scythe limbs, and impeccable night vision, these tunnel fighters will work with Illidan's nightmares to give a merciless greeting to the determined assaulting forces of Darkshire, creating a conflict smaller, but just as intense and chaotic, as the one continuing above.


The Rules (as decided in the main thread): 

Word Limit: 1000
Rounds: 3
Random Elements: on
Damage Meter: on 

- Judge's discretion on whether or not the loser(s) is allowed to be executed
- The actual backdrop of the fight is just fodder and not much more than a location for most fights

THE CALL SYSTEM

Each round will last 5 days. During that time people are allowed to "call" a post. Once called that person has 2 hours to submit a post. At the end of the 2 hours, or if the person has posted, someone else is allowed to call. You can call to be next in line, but once the first person has posted or their 2 hours are up your time begins. This continues until everyone has posted or the 5 days are up. Judges will then have 1 day to tally up damages and so they have a chance to get caught up if they fall behind.


Discussion via PM between the participants has led to the decision that I'll start the fight-thread with the setup (writing myself and Ash into the tunnel and proximity to Skeletor) and from there we'll jump right into the fight, with Skeletor posting first (of the fight that is - the second overall post of the thread. I'll throw a quote-box at the end of the setup to make it obvious), at which point we will have officially begun.

My eyes dart from the file I was given by Luci, to the building in front of me. According to the address given to me in the file, this was the place. I examined the outside of the building, and attempted to figure out an entry plan. I could wait for someone to head in the building, turn invisible, and follow them in like with Scarlet and Reuben’s hotel room. The only problem with that is I don’t know if anyone is supposed to show up besides the Hutt, but once he’s here, it’s a little late to start making moves.


I could go in guns blazing, taking on the full brunt of the attack, but that would be dangerous, risky, and the girl might get hurt at some point in the fray. Whether it was a stray bullet or an orc attacking her on purpose, I was fairly certain Luci would not be happy with her more injured than she already is.


This led me back to the more immediate problem though. The electric fence, the reason Luci says she couldn’t just do this job herself. It was eight feet high, surrounded the entire building, and had no places where you could slip under it, through it, or past it. The power source seemed to be inside the building, as I could see no such source outside of the building, eliminating the ability to shoot it and turn off the fence.


As time went on and the night got darker, an idea struck me. Perhaps I could jump over it? After all, physics were different in the Omniverse, and I had already witnessed things happen that would not be physically possible back on earth. It stood to reason that I possibly could jump it. I extracted my rifle and chest rig, eliminating the weight from them. If I was going to make this jump, I needed to be as light as possible.


My eyes examined the area behind the fence, looking for a good spot to try and land at. I eventually found a spot away from the main door, where the odds were lower that I would be noticed. I took a few moments to gather up the courage to attempt to jump over the fence. I was going off of a hunch, a guess about how the Omniverse works. Odds are I was about to become one with electricity…


I took off in a run towards the fence, picking up speed as I neared it. Once I was about two and a half feet away from the fence, I jumped as high as I could. Around me, time seemed to slow down as my brain processed what happened next.


My right foot pushed off of the ground, with as much force it could muster, and soon I was in the air. The force of the jump brought me up through the air, and I approached the fence. My bodily naturally curved into an arc, as if my boundy found it normal and commonplace to jump over eight feet fences flowing with electric current. My acrobatic skills took over as I came down on the other side, my body tucking in on itself as I neared the ground, and spreading the force of the ground out as I rolled on the crunching ground.


I walked up to the door quickly, drawing my pistol from it’s holster. A quick peep into the window next to the door revealed a room filled with a few orcs, four from what I could see. I saw a shut door leading into an adjacent room, and guestimated two or more enemies in that room as well. Checking that my magazine was fully loaded, I replaced the mag, and repeated my actions from earlier in the day. I threw myself into the door. It flew open easily, and almost broke against my weight, as if it was made of a poor material.


Several things happened at once as the door flew open and I entered the room. Two orcs were sitting on a couch across from me, and were to startled to do anything more than stare before they were both shot in the heart. An orc closer to the door tried to attack me with his fist, but met only nothing but empty air as I ducked beneath the attack. Using his forward momentum against him, I attacked the back of his knee with a knife, causing him to drop to his knees. A bullet pierced the back of his skull and sent brain matter flying as I took him out execution style.


Before I could turn my attention to the remaining orc, a blue energy whizzed past the back of my head, singing the ends of my hair that it passed. I turned to the orc and saw him holding a metal contraption of some kind, which seemed to be preparing another blast. Relying on my instincts, I flipped over the orc’s corpse that I had just murdered to dodge another blast. I threw one of my blades and watched it land in the contraption, causing sparks to fly from the device. The orc, visibly surprised, dropped it and recoiled from it. Another knife landed in his head, and his corpse slumped back into the chair he had been sitting in before my entry.


“Hey?!? What the hell is going on out here?” A voice called from the doorway to the other room. “Wait a minute, who are you?” He started to charge me with a black handaxe, the same shade as his black fur. His eyes showing pure hatred and ferocity. My third knife landed in his throat, causing blood to gurgle out of the opening, but it soon slowed to a small trickle. Standing over his corpse, I watched as the life drained slowly from his slitted yellow eyes. I felt no remorse or shame in these killings, yet no eagerness either. These were contract kills. Nothing more, nothing less. Drawing my gun back out, I walked through the door my latest victim had come out of.


The room was empty except for a bound figure in the corner. I slowly approached the figure, who did not seem to react to my approach in any way. Removing the material covering the face, I saw the girl from the picture Luci had shown me earlier, the girl, De’iali, the reason I was here in the first place. Checking her pulse and breathing, I found that she was still alive. She had some cuts and bruises on her, and possibly some other injuries on her, but I couldn’t exactly stop to give her a medical examination right now.


I struggled to pick her up, and eventually was able to get her mostly on my shoulders, but only freeing up my left hand for a weapon, so I carried one of my knives in case of meeting resistance.  Stopping at the door, I took the time to carve a small message into the wall for anyone who would find these orcs later. “-Reaper”. That should throw them off of who really did this, and why. I might even adopt the name for myself if I continue to do this...


Just as I finished my message, a body that I thought had been long dead began to stir. The dark furred one, who had been in the separate room began to sit up. I began charging my blade, and when he had begun to realize what had happened, I threw it into his forehead. His once again lifeless corpse slumped back onto the ground, his head slamming into the ground with a satisfying crack as blood began seeping out of the back of his skull. Satisfied with my work, I headed out, shutting the dented door behind me. Perhaps it could be buffed out? I took mental note of what I had lost. A full magazine and four knives in the bodies. Oh, and part of my hair had been burned off by something that I had no idea what it was made out of. I considered grabbing the device that had been used to attack me, but I was already carrying enough dead weight.


Taking the unconscious eight year old with me, I took the back alleys and dark side streets to transport her. My only real mode of transport was a motorbike, but there was no way to make one and keep her on it, so I carried her. In was late into the night, almost close to morning when I finally made it back to where I had originally met Luci. I laid the girl on the ground next to me carefully, and banged on the door loudly, the same way I had earlier. Looking into the camera, I pointed at the ground next to me.


I was barely able to stay on my feet, but I had done what I’d been asked and even spent my remaining energy ensuring we hadn’t been followed. I was gonna need more tea.
