Zone X -- The Colosseum

[Karl Jak]

Face to Face

Shinmen Takezo vs Deadpool vs Jak Mar

“Evasive maneuvers!”  Deadpool murmured as he dove to avoid the attack.  Unfortunately for the mercenary, the concentration of orange energy followed him and struck him right in the ass.  “Homing?  Who buys Homing?!”  He shouted as he rolled to avoid a downward slice from Takezo.

Shinmen sneered as he twirled his sword and thrust it down at the ever-speaking warrior.  On this occasion, Deadpool lashed out with his remaining katana, batting his aggressor’s attack off-target.  Takezo’s blade sank into the sand a few inches from the mercenary’s side.  “So,” Deadpool asked before coiling back a boot and slamming it into his opponent’s ankle.  “If you lose, do you have to kill yourself?”  Instead of waiting for an answer, Mr. Wilson scrambled up onto his feet and drilled Takezo will a leaping uppercut that sent the swordsman sailing through the air.

“Toasty!”  Deadpool decreed before a blast from Jak Mar’s blaster caught him in the gut.  The mercenary was staggered by the first energy bolt, but that left him open to the ensuing salvo, which left him staring up at the peaceful skies above Dante Island No. 17.

“Back,” Takezo’s gruff voice yelled before Dark Jak’s shadow fell over Deadpool.  “I’m going to end his incessant chatter.”

Takezo came rushing at Deadpool, who had pulled himself upright.  The mercenary’s reflexes took over and he grabbed for a pistol.  Three bullets came screaming from the barrel of the gun—the first sailed over the other swordsman’s head.  That stalled his motion, and the next two caught him in the shoulder and right above the heart.  When he hit the ground for the second time in less than a minute, Takezo clenched his teeth and failed to remain conscious.

“Awww fuck yea!”  Deadpool declared as he swung the weapon around to bear on Jak Mar.  “Back in ac—”

Click.

Just like before, the gun failed to go off—the same visible problem.  

“Oh, come on!  Fuck you, Ka-”

The barrel of Jak’s blaster crashed into the side of Deadpool’s head, but the mercenary rolled with the force of the impact and sprung to a vertical position.  His pistol back where it belonged, he drew his sword and sidestepped Dark Jak.  His pommel introduced itself into the man’s mouth, shattering a few teeth.  A slashed of the sword opened up an arching wound across Jak Mar’s back, and the ‘dynamite kid’ lost his balance and tumbled to the sand in a twisted heap.  As Deadpool watched, his opponent reverted back to his normal self.

“Ha!  KARL!”  Deadpool shouted as grabbed his other katana and held them aloft as his two competitors vanished in swirls of light.  Victory!  Silly Karl had tried to stick one to him, and here he stood, sexy and victorious!  The mercenary glanced around until he spotted one of the overhead cameras.  “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!”

The camera paused and its lens titled slightly to the side.  A familiar voice emerged.

“Archer already made that joke in the Colosseum, Mr. Wilson… You’re clearly losing your edge.”

Deadpool’s eyes widened behind his mask and something sagged in his loins as he was teleported from the Colosseum.
