Zone X -- The Colosseum

[Karl Jak]

Face to Face
Dawn vs Chakravartin Wu Kong vs Gamzee 'Motherfuckin' Makara

While the troll waxed philosophical about the descent of the sun, Erika pressed in for the kill—her eyes wild and crazy as the thought of ending this inane engagement drove her ever forward.  Her gauntleted fist crashed into the side of Gamzee’s face, and the wave of force that came erupting from the steel sent the troll careening head-over-heels before crashing in a tangled heap on the sand.  Erika turned to the ailing Chakravaritin and clenched her hands into fists before moving to engage the god.

“Time to say farewell,” Erika rasped as she smashed a hand into the god’s malformed visage.  The young man stumbled backwards, his head lolling back as if it had given up all hope.  “Enjoy the twilight!”  She screamed as she leashed another hard haymaker.  Expecting her adversary to stand still and take it like a god, Erika cursed as Chakravaritin hopped backwards to avoid the attack.  Landing on shaky feet, he took a brief second to regain his bearings before launching himself forward into the teeth of the beast.

“Fine by me,” Erika muttered as she reached for her combat knife.  Before she had her opening, Chakravaritin’s body suddenly burst like a water ballon on hot pavement.  Descending into golden goo once again, the god’s liquid form splashed across the woman.  While most of the god slop washed over her and splashed against the sand, there was still plenty of it that clung to parts of her body like warm wax.

“Did he motherfuckin’ explode?!”  Gamzee’s voice caused Erika to twitch as she turned to confront the troll.  As the pair watched, the puddle of slop between them started to reform, albeit a little slower than normal.  “How many magic tricks does this motherfucker know?!”  Chakravaritin had formed, and his sights were set on Erika.  The god held out his arm and yanked it back.  For a brief moment, Erika felt something tug on her arms, but she clenched and it subsided.  Looking down, the woman saw that one of the globs stuck on her seemed to be emitting a little bit of heat.

“Not enough fucking tricks,” the woman growled as she grabbed the liquid metal, tore it from her arm, and crushed it in her gauntleted fist.  With a whoosh of air, Erika’s eyes and hair suddenly shifted back to how they had been a few moments prior.  While Gamzee seemed amused and half ready to make a comment about her silver hair turning back to blonde, Erika merely reached behind her back and produced a shotgun.

As Chakravaritin reached forward to try and manipulate the remaining globules, Erika pumped the gun and fired into his gut.  The impact lifted the god a few inches off the ground and caused his face to twist up in an expression of agony as the wounds began to seep golden liquid.  A second spray caught him alongside the chest and shoulders.  With his face clearly in agony, Chakravaritin’s body started to disassemble.

“No, you don’t, you little fuck,” Dawn growled as she dashed forward, put the gun against the god’s deforming head, and pulled the trigger.  The rest of the body collapsed backward into a puddle at the force of the shotgun blast.

“Well that was just cruel, he wasn’t a rapid dog.”

Gamzee had all of two seconds to burst out from the oncoming spray, but a few pieces of buckshot caught him in the shoulder and arm.  When he came to a stop, he stumbled and lost his balance.  More sand hit him in the face as his ragged breathing kicked up dust and yet more of the grainy particles.  “I could really go for a drink right now,” he groaned as he willed a deuce club into one of his hands.  At the sound of Erika’s gun pumping, he rolled onto his back and swung.  The club ate most of the buckshot, but there were bits and pieces that caught him along the face and chest.

“We’re done here,” Erika growled as she strode over to her fallen adversary.  She pumped her shotgun and looked down to see that the bloody-faced troll was… smiling?  “You fuck.”

Gamzee held up his other hand to reveal one of his swirling smoke grenades, causing Erika’s victorious expression to sour.  The woman turned and ran, but she only got a few yards before she heard something smack into the ground behind her and explode.

The blast carried Erika all the way into the wall of the sand pits, where she left a small indentation of her body against the solid concrete.  For a few moments, the assassin didn’t think she’d be able to will herself off the ground.  When she did, she saw that the other two combatants were gone.  Looking down, she noticed a small box at her feet with a sparky purple bow.

Carefully dropping to a knee, Erika picked up the box and removed the bow.  She discarded the top to reveal a box lined with purple velvet.  Inside the box was a hypodermic needle, a little letter, and a plastic phallus.  Erika clenched her teeth as she picked up the little note:

“You said something about wanting to suck a cock earlier.  Here’s your chance.”

[spoiler]
Dawn wins.

Dawn takes 6 points of Accumulated Damage (scrapes, bruises, etc)
Chakravaritin takes 11 points of Damage (Including the Minor Injury – Bad eye.  No matter how many times he tries to disassemble/reform, Chakravaritin’s one eye will not work.  This may be cured with Healing or a Medkit).
Gamzee takes 12 points of Damage (including the Minor Injury – Bum leg; Gamzee’s right leg and foot are gonna be a bit useless for him)

Dawn/Erika – The needle can be used to restore either 4 points or damage or 2 SP.  Take your pick and let me know.

Important: -- All of you are sent to Safehouse A.  Enjoy that morning after.
