Zone D -- The Foam

[Karl Jak]

Face to Face
Lord Zedd vs Mad Bull

A standard parry went awry, and there were two splashes as the pair of men saw their items sink down to the bottom of the shallow ocean.

Without skipping a beat, Sergeant John Estes ‘charged’ forward through the ocean water.  A blade swung for his face, but he closed a meaty fist around the red wrist and threw himself at Zedd.  The two adversaries vanished below the surface, but even underwater, their various appendages attempted to find purchase on the other.  Audiences stared blankly at their screens at the frothy chaos as they awaited what would happen when the two emerged—if they both escaped their erratic, underwater fracas.

After half a minute of aquatic tussling, the two men shot up out of the water a few yards removed from one another.

“You are finished, whale human.”  Zedd snickered as he lifted his hands up out of water to reveal the Z Staff clenched tightly in his fists.  Energy started to crackle along the length of the weapon, but before Zedd brought its might to bear on the insolent human, he saw something that caused his blood to boil more than it already had.

Four yards away, Mad Bull had thrown his head back and seemed lost in a bout of throaty, full-body laughter.

The fat man.

The sweaty, red-faced fat man.

Laughing.

“Shut your insolent hole,” Zedd boomed, prompting the sergeant to stop on a dime and stare at his adversary with a look that still had entirely too much mirth plastered across it.

“You surf?”  Mad Bull asked as he pointed behind Zedd.

The dark lord glanced over his shoulder and saw a fifty-foot wave about to consume them both.  Seemingly indifferent to the approaching natural disaster, Zedd turned back to the policeman.  “You think I fear the ocean?  I am Lord—”

Both combatants vanished as they were swept up in the massive wall of salt water.

***

When he regained consciousness after being bashed against the beach by the tidal wave, Mad Bull wiped the brine from his face and noticed a small purple container half-buried in the sand.

Elsewhere, Lord Zedd regained consciousness and was left to stew in his rage.

[spoiler]
Madbull gets the item drop.  This fight was stupidly close, and I hate you both for making me pick.  You should just agree to call it a draw and be best friends.  F**k you guys.

Zedd takes 5 points of Accumulated Damage (bumps, bruises, etc)
Madbull takes 3 points of Accumulated Damage (bumps, bruises, etc)

Madbull gets Main Quest Item #1 – It is … a capsule, like the ones from Capsule Corp (Karl’s from a fucked up DBZ land).  If you have a chance, you can open it to reveal that it’s a computer tower.  It won’t turn on, though.
