Scarecrow Vs Mechromancer (PvP)

[Dr. McNinja]

Gaige squinted at the strange-looking man in front of her. Her trigger finger was itching, and enough animosity had been tossed about just now for her to feel truly angry.

"Soooo..." she frowned, "What are you supposed to be? Some sorta... scarecrow?"

"My name is Dr. Jonathan Crane. You will not-"

"Bored!"

Gaige opened fire on Dr. Crane. Her oversized Jakobs shotgun kicked back, nearly flying right out of the teenager's hands. The scattered pellets ripped through the villain's clothes, but most of them flew harmlessly past. Gaige cursed under her breath, pulling out a new clip of shotgun rounds. At that moment, Scarecrow dropped a grenade of some sort, then fled.

"Get back here-"

The grenade detonated, filling Gaige's nostrils with a foul smell. She knew that smell. From a long time ago. Before the Omniverse. Something from back home. The smell of burning hairs and fury. 

"WARRRIOORRRRRR"

Gaige turned around. Where her crew was just moments ago, instead stood Handsome Jack and the legendary beast known as the Warrior.

"How are you alive?!" Gaige screamed as she ducked, narrowly dodging a fireball from the fierce Eridian prisoner, "I watched Lilith burn your fake friggin' face off-"

"I HAVE THE SHINIEST MEAT BICYCLE"

Gaige turned to see a bad-ass psycho hollering into the air. He raised his makeshift buzz-saw axe, ready to crush skulls. In this case, the skull belonged to none other than Gaige's father.

"Why aren't you stopping him?!?" Gaige's father shrieked as the buzz-saw entered his scalp. The blade of the axe started spinning, spewing blood and brains all over Gaige.

"DADDY!" the teenager screamed in horror. Her father's lifeless eyes poured of his sockets and he inexplicably wailed post-mortem. The bad-ass psycho then swung the axe at Gaige's throat. Gaige choked and grabbed at her neck, only to realize there was no wound. The psycho leaned in and screamed something unintelligible at the girl.

Gaige whipped out her shotgun and fired it at the psycho's chin. Her ECHO device flashed "Critical!" in red letters as the psycho collapsed. Gaige turned to look for the Scarecrow.

"Okay, that was freaky."

She started sprinting after the once-psychologist, furious. She jerked her left wrist, initiating the motion sequence to summon Deathtrap. The arm started whirring.

"Hehe," the teenager grinned, "Number Five..."

With a sweeping motion, she swung her arm upwards and shouted, "ALIVE!" As she did so, Deathtrap digistructed, tessellating into existence from bright blue three-dimensional pixels. The grungy and bloody floating death machine had arrived. And its first move after being summoned was to tilt its head adorably at Gaige, not quite understanding what was supposed to happen. There were no hostile elements nearby, after all.

The robot shrugged and began cuddling with Gaige.

"DT? No, no, not now, DT, this is not- this is never comfortable. You are made of metal. This hurts. We are fighting right now, DT. Kill mode. KILL MODE!"

On cue, a creepy-ass laugh resonated from deeper within the cave, presumably from Dr. Crane. DT's eye flashed from blue to red.

"That's better," Gaige muttered, patting her robot on the shoulder. "Come on, boy. Let's get 'em."

In a flash, Deathtrap zoomed forward through the tunnel. Gaige followed, digistructing her smig into her palms. A few seconds later, she heard Dr. Crane cry out in pain. Gaige followed the noise, looking down the sights of her gun.

After a moment, Deathtrap returned to her, whimpering and holding his arm. Gaige sighed.

"Don't worry, boy, I'll get you another one."

The Scarecrow approached the Vault Hunter from behind cover. He didn't seem to have sustained an injury, but he certainly was in pain.

"Very good. But can you fight without siccing your metal beast on your enemies?"

Gaige shrugged. "Probably."

She started firing her gun again, forcing Scarecrow to retreat behind cover once more. Bullets rebounded off the walls of the tunnel, some narrowly missing Gaige herself. After she emptied the clip, she tossed a shock grenade to where Scarecrow was.

There was no way she was going to lose.

Pain to the Scarecrow was nothing new to him; years of him fighting Batman taught him that. No mere child would best him. Not at this hour, for already he could smell the fear in her not only that but she already had the toxin in her veins.

Crane braced himself so he could roll out of cover and bring his scythe down on her head. More bullets kept pounding the frozen boulder he made as cover. Just as he thought she was done trying to suppress him a sort of grenade fell right beside him Scarecrow's pale eyes widened.

So she wants to play hero? HA! HA! HA! He thought to himself as he rolled out of cover and darted full speed to get out of the blast radius, an explosion following soon after.

Scarecrow charged  after the Mechromancer, bullets flying past him with some even managing  to tear at his coat. Dr. Crane then jumped and front flipped beside the Mechromancer. He then brought his scythe down at her head, she barely dodged the blade as it crashed into the frozen  floor. Her dodge wasn't good enough for his back swing, however as the scythes shaft hit her square in the mouth. The bounty hunter  shot back at the fear master, the doctor cartwheeling to the side. Most of the bullets missed but one was able to slightly cut the right side of his  leg. Warm blood dripped out. The Scarecrow flipped back to his feet, and with a spin, he brought his left leg into a roundhouse kick  he smacked her right in the gut, causing her to  stumble back clutching her gut. Landing back on his feet, Scarecrow lunged at the Mechromancer with his gauntlet. He barely missed only cutting at the teenager's clothes.

"Hey, asshole! These clothes are expensive!"  The bounty hunter said.

Scarecrow turned  around and gave her a cold stare. "You dare insult The Master of Fear?"  He gripped his scythe hard and then pointed at her with it. "Before the days over with little girl, you will know the definition of terror. I can smell it resonating off you."

"Such big words for somebody who's about to get his ass kicked." With a blast from her shotgun, Scarecrows scythe was blown out of his hands.

Scarecrow gave off a low growl and then rushed for the teenager. He  tackled her to the frozen floor,  cackling in glee as his gauntlet slowly reached for the teenager's throat.

"HROOO HRAAAA!"

[Dr. McNinja]

Ooookay so the internet just came back online after several days of power outage... So here is the post I wanted to.... post.

"DT!" Gaige hollered.

She was collapsed on the ground, the blade of Dr. Crane's gauntlet inches away from her throat. She glanced to her right and watched her companion's body tessellate into nothingness.

"I- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? RIGHT NOW??" Gaige screamed through grit teeth.

Gaige's arms were shaking as they tried to withstand the definitely-not-humanly-possible arm strength of her opponent. She had no idea where her shotgun had fallen in the scuffle, but it was almost definitely out of reach. Her mouth was bleeding, probably just a small cut, but it impeded with her breathing.

Finally, Crane impatiently gave one final push, the syringes on his knuckles scratching the Vault Hunter's neck. Blood sprouted from the cuts as Gaige managed to throw Dr. Crane's momentum sideways. As Crane regained his balance, Gaige drew her digistruct claws and slashed at Dr. Crane's face. He managed to dodge the blow, but the tip of the claws scratched his mask, leaving it slightly open. 

Dr. Crane reeled back as Gaige stared in confusion.

"Wait," she stammered, "You're not an actual scarecrow? Are you seriously just a guy in a stupid scarecrow costume?"

Crane's eye split open horrifically. Varkids started pouring out of the socket, crawling under the doctor's clothes. They dug into the doctor's flesh and swelled into sacs of blood and human organs. They burst open, showering Gaige in gore and badass varkids, which proceeded to dig into her own flesh.

In one, furious movement, Gaige clawed at her face with her metal arm, shredding what she thought was a tidal wave of deadly insects. Nothing. She started slapping at her face, trying to knock off the disgusting little buggers (thanks Sir Hammerlock), but it was no use. They kept climbing over her eyes and ears and oh god one was eating her nosethereweretoomanyohgodpleasemakethemstopthey'reeverywhereican'tpleasepleasepleaseplease

Dr. Crane almost chuckled as his opponent swatted at nothing, shrieking as the fear toxin took over her body. He casually sauntered over to where his scythe had fallen and picked it up. He kicked away Gaige's shotgun and raised the scythe to land the killing blow.

Unfortunately for him, Gaige had decided to use firepower against the varkids. She drew her smig and fired wildly at the walls and ceiling, unable to comprehend there was nothing there. Dr. Crane ducked his head to avoid being caught in the line of fire, but not before one of the bullets lodged in his upper right arm. He swore loudly. Fearfully, he glanced to see if his opponent had noticed, but Gaige was too occupied with her nightmarish hallucinations.

Dr. Crane switched the scythe to his non-dominant hand. He growled, "Know this, girl. Your death is now."

Gaige fearfully glared at the demon that had spawned in front of her. The varkids were now swarming about two feet away from her, crawling on top of each other and forming a humanoid monster. A horrifying visage cracked open where its face would be. It was carrying a staff, a staff constructed from the conjoined spinal cords of the monster's victims. At the head of the staff was a bloody blade with exposed gears inside, whirring endlessly, ready to grind and tear at whatever flesh it could find. The monster pounded the staff on the floor, and Gaige felt acidic pain not unlike corrosive damage from Pandora wash over her. Blood poured from the monster's eyes.

Gaige reloaded the smig and aimed it to fire at the demon.

Scarecrow charged through the hail of bullets ignoringthe fact that one of them pierced his chest. The blood ran down his chest, soaking his cloak and toxin pump. Each step brought deep  pain to his rib cage as if he was being stabbed with a dagger a thousand times over and over. This did not stop the fear master;  he felt that he could bring victory to this battlefield, but only time and action would tell. Doctor Crane slammed the back of his scythe into the mechromancer's left leg. With a scream, she dropped to her knees siezing the chance, Scarecrow flipped the scythe onto her right shoulder and yanked back leaving a large gash on her back. Crimson blood splashed onto the snow behind her. With a gleeful cackle, he kicked her to the ground and placed his boot on her chest. A large smirk ran across his disfigured face, but before he could do any more damage he started to cough up blood. He gripped  to his chest, the blood that expelled   out of his mouth dripped onto Gagie's  face.

"You are... nothing... an ant beneath... my boot." He gasped and coughed, more blood dropping onto the Mechromacer face. The Scarecrow's voice was nothing but a whisper with a slight rattle.

The fear master knelt down and brought his face close to hers. "Tell ... me... how does... the fear feeeel?"

"It feels like this ass hole!" Her mechanical claw slashed through his face.

Crane fell back screaming in pain  gripping his face and spasming on the snow. He then started to rip his facial implants off so that the mask wouldn't get in the way of his vision. By the time he was finished Gagie had recovered from the cut he had given . Jumping to his feet he flipped his scythe onto to his shoulders giving him the look of a real scarecrow.

"I will enjoy choking the life out of you!"

[Beta Ray Bill]

It seemed as if hours had passed as both Scarecrow and the Mechromancer starred at one another. They both wait for one to make a move only to counteract it. It was a circle of a deadly dance as both would assault each other. Gunshots could be heard from other parts of the  cave, most likely from Ballad or these bounty hunters companion the robot.

Scarecrow gave a smirk, a plan was unfolding in his head. If I could get to Ballad or maybe Chara we could probably be a strong enough force to beat one of these bounty hunters well time to make my grand one for one of my teammates, Doctor Crane you are a genus Ha Ha Ha all will fear the wrath of fear.

Scarecrow gave a loud cackle. "So, how much of this you think you can take, little girl?" he said stepping forward and forcing her to back up to keep distance, "because right now I'm unimpressed." The master of fear laughed and abruptly stopped, giving her a stare as cold as death. "I have  fought more dangerous foes than you. in my world. There are men and women with incredible powers." His words gave off an echo, rebounding through the icy cavern.  "All I see in you is fear and weakness, but  I'm harsh in that you are only a little girl." He gave a large smile finally, he had the teenager where he wanted her, "and one who thinks she can do grown up things. You do not belong  in this place."

The Mechromancer aimed her gun towards the doctors head. "Unimpressive is an understatement and stop calling me a little girl. What makes you think you have beaten me?" She tightened her grip and put herself in a stance.

"Because you have sacrificed your footing and you will pay dearly for that Ha Ha HA!"

Before she could react he had already  planted both of his feet into her chest. The blow forced her to crash into the hard ice wall. With that being done Scarecrow made a run for it. he disappeared into a dark  into a cavern.

"See you in your nightmares little lady Hroo Hraa."

Making his way through the dark cavern, trying to get through knee deep snow. The cave started to rumble, Ice started to crack and snow fell from the icy ceiling.

That doesn't sound good that could only be two things all of this fight could have caused an avalanche or it was a bomb, I better get to one of my teammates fast.

Scarecrow picked up his pace as he tried not to get stuck in the snow. In what seemed to an hour he finally got out of the  cavern, but what he saw was a mess.

Scarecrow was where the fight had begun, but now bits of ice  were everywhere and snow was piled up that blocked certain passageways. Scarecrow stopped and crouched and started to press forward. Passing through large gorges of snow and ice he stopped when he spotted one of the bounty hunters in the distance, the robot of course.

It seemed that Scarecrow's companion Chara had been defeated. That did not surprise him; she was only a child and she was fighting what seemed to be seasoned warrior if an annoying one at that. 

The master of fear sat behind a large frozen boulder and pulled out the orb that was presented to  him when he first arrived in this strange world. Time for me to make a theatric entrance and exit, he thought to himself, smirking.

Within a few minutes, a large black stallion with a black saddle formed in front of him, Scarecrow mounted on to the hores.

"Alright boy, time to cause some perfect fear and make our eascpe."

Scarecrow and the horse charged at the robot forcing it to lose balance, Crane quickly yanked Chara on to the horse. The horse jumped on to it's two legs and neighed, Scarecrow and Chara held on tight as Crane turned the beast towards the exit he had found hours earlier.

As they made there way through the passageway Scarecrow turned to speak to his colleague, he saw that she was  visibly stunned  from their escape. It was the first time she had fully seen Scarecrow's face, his eye sockets were permanently open wide and large deep scars were patterned across his entire face; his teeth were jagged and freckles dotted his face. Jonathan scratched the half bald of his head and shaven red hair and then began to speak.

"It's time we make our escape, Ballad has most likely been captuered or killed, and we don't have the fire power to save him or avenge his death. and before you say anthing,  even if he's dead the figure that spoke to me when I firsted arrived here said that pepole like us don't need to fear death."

As Chara held on to the front of Scarecrow's jacket, she gritted her teeth as the adrenaline finally wore off. She was surprised at Scarecrows sudden appearance and was still stunned at the turn of events. She pocketed the knife and felt pain in her arm and shoulder as blood slowly pooled out onto her sweater. She fought her rising fear of death, and then she smelt the buttercups, and started to freak out. "God, oh god that smell, Why is it here?!"

Scarecrow looked down at the small child blabbering nonsense and for a second saw a face that reminded him of true fear, and after blinking that face was gone. "What the hell?"

She saw that the cave was far away at this point and looked up at Scarecrow before asking "I need medical attention for my wounds." Scarecrow looked at her and, the area to see if anywhere could be a place to set up for now. He found a snow hill that shielded the two from the brunt of the wind for now.

Chara got down with the help of Scarecrow, and walked to the base of the snow hill and sat down. Scarecrow examined the child quickly, and decided to do a more in-depth investigation. "So Chara, I will have to ask you take off the sweater so I can check for broken bones."

Chara shrugged off her sweater showing her bare skin and, Scarecrow could see faded knife marks all across her back, arms and stomach. Scarecrow wasn't as fazed as he should of been. He began with her ribs, and felt a couple broken ribs. He then moved to her arms before asking Chara, "So Where is this base of yours,? I never got a address." Chara felt Crane as he flipped her on to her back and felt the spine to feel any damage done. Soon after he grabbed a few pieces of cloth, and stuffed them into the bullet wounds for now.

Chara replied as she got up "Its about fifty miles away from Darkshire eastwards, Are we done Doc?"  Scarecrow sighed as he handed her the sweater and sneered as she slipped into it "Yes your ok except for the broken bones, and your other wounds need to be dealt with once we get to your base."

Scarecrow held his hand out to pull Chara up, but she smacked his hand away. she held her right hand out and summoning her own horse "nightmare" and scrambled on the shorter horse of the two, and once scarecrow was ready they jolted there horses off to the gate.
