He coughed and then shouted at Mabian, "We have to get to higher ground!" Mabian nodded and followed Pezza as he rushed across the plaza. Suddenly, another figure leaped from the smoke and brought Pezza to the ground. Pezza rolled over until he was on top of the attacker. When he saw the man's face, he stared in shock, "Ash? What are you doing?" "Killing you," Ash replied with a smile, "What does it look like?" He slid a knife from his pocket and stabbed upwards, but Pezza got his hand down in time to stop the blow. Ash growled and then pushed his feet up, throwing Pezza off. Pezza rolled away, putting distance between him and the other Mod. Ash was about to rush forward when two arms wrapped around his neck. Mabian through the Mod to the ground and then shouted to Pezza, "We don't have time for this. Find Twitch and stop him!" Pezza nodded in gratitude and then took off running. Ash stood up slowly and glared at Mabian, "You should have ran with the others. Then you might have survived." Mabian shrugged, "I'd say something witty in return, but you won't live to remember it." A ball of fire struck right between them and before the smoke had disappeared, both men were rushing toward each other, howling in rage. ---------------------- Pezza entered the tallest building he could find and climbed the stairs, taking the steps three at a time. He was panting when he reached the top, but when he opened the door he knew it was worth it. He could see the entire Forum from here. Unfortunately, the entire Forum was burning. He groaned when he saw something else forming in the sky. The clouds swirled together and a large tornado started spiraling down to the ground, picking up cars, street lamps, and anything else that got in its way. As Pezza watched the tornado form, he saw something else in the corner of his eye. He looked across the street and saw a large glowing sphere on top of a building. [i]Twitch[/i]. All of the buildings in the Flood were built close together so Pezza had little difficulty leaping from rooftop to rooftop as he closed in on Twitch. he stepped close to the sphere and put his hand against it. It went through easily and Pezza followed through with the rest of his body. Twitch was standing at the other edge of the sphere, watching with fascination as the storm wrecked havoc on the Flood. "Your defense is surprisingly weak Twitch." Twitch turned to face Pezza and sighed, "It protects me against the elements, nothing more." He looked at Pezza curiously and then said, "You killed Ash?" Pezza shook his head, "He's a little busy right now, but my guess is he'll be dead soon." Twitch smiled, "How quickly you forsake your friends." Pezza shrugged, "I'll do what I have to in order to stop you." "Of course you will." Twitch turned and glanced back outside, "I had hoped you'd finally give up your silly little quest. But I can see that you are as stubborn as ever." Pezza reached for his gun but blinked in surprise to find that it was missing. He must have lost it when Ash tackled him. Twitch held up a small metal rod and clicked a button on the side. "Let's have some fun," he muttered as a dozen small blades began swirling around the stick. He sliced the rod down ward and the blades flew as one in Pezza's direction. The Mod dove out of the sphere and listened with satisfaction as the blades struck the inside and fell to the ground. He stepped back in with a smile, "Ready to try fighting like a man?" It was then that the tornado tore across the building they were standing on, lifting the two men, and the sphere, from the ground. ------------------ Mabian caught Ash's hand as he jabbed his knife forward. Ash's free hand came around in a left hook. Mabian blocked it easily with his right hand while twisting the knife out of Ash's hand with his left, sending it clattering to the ground. Ash remained unfazed, however, and kicked his foot up, hitting Mabian in the stomach and freeing his hands. He pulled Mabian's head up by the hair and jabbed his fist repeatedly into the man's face. Mabian staggered back and was suddenly blasted forward as a fireball struck the ground right behind him. Ash's clenched fist was waiting and it met his oncoming face with a sickening crunch. Mabian staggered back again, clutching his bleeding nose when he suddenly felt a searing heat on his back. He looked over his shoulder to see that his shirt was on fire. Ash seized this distraction and rushed forward, but Mabian spun in a circle and kicked his foot out, sending Ash to the ground and giving him time to pull his shirt off. Mabian could feel blisters forming on his back, but he ignored the pain and rushed in to the rising Mod. He kicked his foot into Ash's face and sent the Mod reeling backward. Buildings started crumbling in flames around them as the two combatants crashed back into each other. Mabian wrapped one hand around Ash's throat and used the other to continuously punch the Mod in the face. In desperation, Ash grabbed Mabian and pulled him down. The two men rolled across the ground, each grappling the other. They stopped rolling and just lay there, choking and grunting. Suddenly, Mabian felt the hair on his head raise and he quickly rolled, bringing Ash on top of him. He put his legs under Ash's stomach and kicked out, sending the Mod flying just as a lightning bolt streaked out of the clouds, searching for the highest point. With all the buildings crumbling and Mabian on the ground, Ash just happened to be the highest point at that moment. Mabian shut his eyes as Ash was suddenly lit up by a bright bolt of lightning. When the light faded, Mabian opened his eyes and saw the charred heap of Ash on the ground. "I'm sorry," he whispered. -------------------- Pezza felt himself being pulled through the air along with the quickly cooling rocks that had once been in flames. A car swirled past and he quickly grabbed onto the hood, needing something firm to regain his bearings. He looked up and saw the shield fly past, followed closely by Twitch, who was reaching out for whatever had activated that shield. Pezza's eyes dropped back down and he saw that he was on a collision course with another vehicle. A large diesel to be exact. It pointed straight up in the air, but the car was about to hit the tail end. Pezza quickly coiled his legs and leaped up into the air. He reached out grabbing onto the pipe that let out the emissions from the top of the diesel and planted his feet on the roof. He turned back to see that he was now level with the swirling shield. He held his hand out, waiting for it to reach him. When it did, he quickly reached for the first object he could find inside and held on. Whatever it was, it wasn't coming out, and this was the only thing that could protect him. He felt something slice his hand and realized that the knives Twitch had thrown at him were still in there. He grimaced in pain but held tight, not willing to let this one chance of survival go. He felt something latch on to his leg and looked down to see Twitch, a fierce look in his eye, drawing a knife from his belt. Before either of them could move, they were both suddenly flying free of the tornado, soaring through the air. Pezza kicked his free leg out, hitting Twitch in the face and causing the Spammer to let go. He pulled himself up into the sphere just as a fireball blasted into it. When he looked out, Pezza saw Twitch flying behind him, only instead of the gleaming eyes and fierce look, his face charred black, as was the rest of his body. Suddenly, Pezza struck the ground, the charred body of Twitch bouncing harmlessly across the top of the shield. Pezza stood up shakily, surprised he was okay. The trees he had just flown through must have broken his fall. He looked up in surprise. [i]Trees[/i]? "I must have been thrown out of the Flood." He picked his way down toward a paved road and smiled as it brought him right out to a sign. It showed him the direction to all of the Forums, but Pezza wasn't looking for the Forums. "Spammer Defense Force is just west of the Flood...so I'd better start heading in the direction of the Septagon." he headed out with a grin on his face, he was close.

  • *Gasp* I had all but thought you had abandoned this story. On the one hand, I'm sad it's coming to it's thrilling conclusion. On the other, mods and members and spammers can't fight forever. Then it would be boring.
