There it is again. That ‘I am greater than thou’ attitude I’ve been seeing increasingly often as of late. On a normal day I would have just dismissed it.

There is no such thing as a normal day in Forum Fight, and I’ve decided that I have had enough .

The Shadowforger throws the assassin known as Light toward us, and he proceeds to swiftly take us on one-by-one. I would be lying if I wasn’t impressed by his fighting skills. With the finesse and speed of a master ninja he’s already shown to be a formidable foe against both Ash*in and Mad Guy, before I’ve even managed to react.

*Wait - you’re on her side?*
I yell, before rushing alongside Pyro to attempt to help Mad Guy and Ash*in. However, our opponent soon has me in a tackle. I react quickly this time, however, as he soon finds some kind of fiery liquid circling around with me as I turn his tackle into my kick, sending a catherine wheel of liquid fire swirling around me, the vortex of intense flames searing against the assassin’s arm and forcing him to let go before he can knock me out.

Still upside down, I thrust my palms down into the ground, launching myself into the air with an explosive blast and spinning around, eventually getting myself back upright and landing lightly on the ground in front of Light. As the rain of fire drizzles onto the ground and disappears, I make some swift motions with my arms.

Ultimate Phoenix armour
.

In an abrupt blaze, I equip a set of armour consisting of light fire plates with intricate phoenix-like designs over an ornate tunic woven from threads of solid flame. The helm is similar to an eagle’s visage, with ornamental wings spraying out of the sides.

Of course the most distinct features are the much larger wings, each fashioned from one long blade of solid fire and at least twenty large blade like quills. One pair extends partly from the back and partly around the arms. The other sixteen wings float around me at various distances and heights.

Once again, my eyes turn through
red to
orange, then
yellow, then
white, then
blue,
and the whole set of armor goes from glowing orange to the blinding ice-like blue of a roaring flame.

Without even the slightest movement on my part, one of the floating wings disassembles itself and every single quill, points so hot and sharp they could evaporate granite in milliseconds, slices Light with pin-point accuracy. No doubt he’ll avoid the attack somehow, but I’ve learnt enough from observing these fighters not to go for actual damage without knowing your enemy*s strengths and weaknesses.

Pyro pulls himself out of the dented wall and cracks his boney neck. He fixes his dislocated shoulder with another bone chilling crack and glares at the stranger that attacked him. In irritation, the fires surrounding his body give off a threatening glow.

He scans the area for the ninja but sees no sight of him. He calls a duo of hellhounds to his aid, speaks in ancient tongue, and sends them off.

Moments later, the duo snarls and grabs hold onto something invisible. Pyro speaks to the hounds in confirmation; they reply in a growl. Pyro laughs in the crackling of flame.

You cannot hide in my domain alive, human. Die, and come back.


With his scythe in hand, he slams the tip of his blade into the ground, into the direction of the hellhounds. The rumble of an earthquake sounds and a crevice opens up in front of the blade. It zigzags towards the hounds and circles the duo. Not a moment later, the ground beneath the hounds give way, as the duo jumps back mili-seconds before whatever they caught falls to its death...or so it seems.

Pyro walks over to make sure he's dead. The hounds looks inside and snarls. Pyro curses in ancient tongue. A clearly visible jagged piece of rock sticks out of the side of the crevice wall. Pyro assumes he's either hanging onto dear life, or he fell into the bubbling pool of lava below.

@Duncan: Light is immune to fire and ice-based attacks. Try again.

EDIT: Also, he didn't tackle Duncan. If you'll look back, he flipped Duncan over his hip, which is a defensive manoeuvre made against a charge from said fighter and not something you can really counter in the fashion you described.

@Pyro: Impressive trick, given Light has already left the area. And by left the area, I mean he's not even in the same plane of reality as you guys, nor is this plane of reality even coterminous with yours.

And before anyone attempts to call me out as adding powers on as I feel like it, all of Light's powers have been established in another forum game that Magery (aka Lord Sammael) and Wayne played.

I admit to being a little confused by this.

We can ignore the fact Light (really that's not his name, but Eno's decided not to reveal his actual name, so whatever) isn't human, because Eno never mentioned it, though it is a bad idea to make assumptions to that degree (best to call them something else that's even more condescending, like 'child', which is why Natasha does that. Well, that, and because she's an arrogant *****).

The thing is, Aylss created a portal to a different part of a different universe, which she, Natasha, Duncan, mad guy, and Ash all went through (I'm not sure if Pyro--the character--did, it's somewhat unclear).

If Pyro had been in the necessary proximity to be attacked by Light--which both Eno's and your posts would indicate--he's most certainly not in his domain any more.

He's probably four planes, three universes and half a dozen galaxies removed from it.

The second part, about the lava, I'm also unclear about, though for slightly different reasons - while it's perfectly within the realms of Forum Fight (and what little I can deduce of his powers) to create a crevice that's much deeper than what it's actually made in and magically filled with lava, I'm not sure if Pyro did that, or if it was based off an assumption that we were still back in Hades/Hell/wherever-it-was-we-were, which we're most certainly not.

Heh.

Light, working with Natasha?

He's an assassin.

There are contracts out on Natasha worth more than the wealth of your average galactic empire - just ask Ash' friend!

If anything, you could say he's eliminating the competition.

Well not that I'd let myself get knocked out that easy. But I'll just humour you Eno and move by calling it a lapse of concentration.
___________________________
Just as the assassin is getting ready to teleport and leaving his "victims" to their doom he gets hit in the side of the head by the prisoner's energy shield. The assassin then then completes his teleport by would no doubt be feeling the effects of being hit in the head with shield right about now.

The prisoner then turns to me and looks back at the Shadowforger knowing she is about to attack. As a hunter must keep an eye on his prey. Even when they don't know their prey yet. Meanwhile...

"Warning!!!: User unconscious. Administering adrenaline in 3-2-1..."

I gasp as I get back up as if I'm waking up from a nightmare. I slowly get up feeling the effects of the concussion. A result of letting my guard down for too long. Thankfully my armour has many secrets which I've yet to reveal.

Like why it no longer needs all these "modes" to be effective in combat. However I also feeling a tingling coming from my sword. I look at it and notice it's sparking. Could the assassin have done this? Probably not.

But I notice the sparks slowly grow in frequency until my sword starts glowing. Did the assassin hit me on the head that hard? But then my sword starts to change shape growing wider and longer until it stops glowing.

My new sword as a blue line running down the middle of it, the hilt is not only bigger but has also changed shape allowing for a better grip and now has a light blue orb in the centre. Why has my sword all the sudden changed.

Could it be some force with it has finally decided to awaken knowing I need its power. Either way this boost is much welcomed. Now I can think of one test subject for this new sword.

I look towards the Shadowforger and notice that she and the prisoner are looking at each other like two wolves sizing each other up. Waiting to see who will make the first strike. However that strike may come from neither of them.

I jump and attempt to strike the Shadowforger however she quickly blocks this rather reckless attack. I use the momentum to catapult myself above the tips of her wings. I land rather awkwardly some distance away. It won't take her long to figure out I'm still not quite in fighting condition.

So it appears her advantage is my injury and my advantage the secrets of my new sword which would be in two if this was any normal sword. But it seems this isn't any normal sword. My sword starts to spark wildly as "Thunderstruck-AC DC" begins to play in the background.

I instinctively point it up into the sky causing a bolt of lightning then shoots into the sky. Some clouds then form in the sky and a bolt of lightning comes crashing down from the heavens into the Shadowforger with the force to shatter a mountain into nothing more than dust.

Hammer of Thunder

One would use such an attack to crack a enemy fortress wide open or to knock a titan off balance. However this attack is raining down upon the Shadowforger. Although I don't expect this to kill the Shadowforger. No doubt she'd find a way to survive and boy will she be mad when she emerges. However this has bought me time to recover. How long remains to be seen.

So to bide even more time I create at least twenty clones. One would need to try hard to tell the difference between them and me. Of course this will only last so long. Now is time to work out a new plan of attack.

(Just trying out some new ideas so excuse the rough edges. :P And yes my new sword is pretty much indestructible.)

(I suppose you could say everyone that was assumed to be pulled into the portal, myself included, got confused and assumed we were still in the fight.)

(On my defense, Pyro was slammed into a wall, which made me assume he was held back. As far as I'm aware, Light didn't go in the portal with everyone else nor did he participate in the forums before the portal was cast.)

(Another factor is too many characters being involved within the scene. People lost track of what the hell was going on and commented what they saw fit. I'd also like to point out that half of us: Eno, Sammael, Wayne, and Duncan, don't have avatar images but rather the default instead. This may be another reason behind the character confusion.)

(I'm going to hold back on my further posts until we all agree on where everyone is and where do we all stand.)

Nobody got pulled through the portal; Wayne specifically said he just left it open so that anyone else who wanted to join in didn't find themselves completely excluded. Natasha just walked through it to get there, and so did Ash*in and the prisoner. I don't exactly know how Duncan or Pyro (the character) got there; the former seemed to just be there when Natasha attacked, and, as I said earlier, I'm confused about the latter.

---

You were all still in the fight - or, at least, Ash*in joined it by going through the portal (and actively attacking Natasha on two separate occasions), as did Duncan when he posted in response to Natasha's thrown sword attack and Eno's momentary overpowering.

---

As for the wall, there are plenty of walls in the Tower (the Destiny-based setting Wayne brought us to; I even showed Eno a screenshot of what the Tower's plaza looked like to help him figure out where we were and what his surroundings were like).

---

Heh. Too many characters? Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet =P

If you want advice for dealing with that--from someone who had to figure it out himself a fair few years ago--the best way to do it is just to read every post. More than once. Sounds stupid, and you probably do it already, but you'd be surprised by what people miss when they skim over someone's post.

As well as that, it helps you get a feel for how people write. Everyone has a different style, and you can usually pick it from a few sentences even if you're confused by the lack of avatars.

For instance:

Wayne and I are both writing in second person, but he uses underlines and less hyperbole than I do - especially when writing Natasha, when I use a lot of celestial imagery, as opposed to his more technological/science-based descriptions.

Eno's style is similar to mine, but he's less flashy in his word choice, and is using third person.

You and Duncan write fairly similarly, except he doesn't have an avatar and you do.

Ash also has an avatar.
