OAFL Horde Mode #2: Cthulhu’s Call

Hello.... mortals... We are back with the OAFL horde mode after an unusual two month break. We are gathered here today at London Docks to watch another group of fighters being pitted against hordes of enemies. Remember to grab those drinks at the mobile bar near the entrance, and please keep your pet fishes out of te arena, please.

Below the dark and thin clouds above were giant buildings, breaking above the city skyline. Even lower was a relatively large dock, drenched in water due to the pattering of the rain. Water slid around the top of the wood, and the smell of wet wood, fish, and smoke swam in the air. Beyond the docks, a storm was brewing, a torrent of lightning and water. Waves crashed together in all directions, sending water droplets flying everywhere. Thunder could be heard in the distance, beyond the dark unknown waters that could be seen swirling around the docks. The crashing of waves, the humming of thunder, the rain buffeting.... Footsteps could be heard. Five dark figures walked out of the shadows of a nearby alley. Each figure walked with a consistent pace. With their somewhat mysterious entrance came the cheers of many, rising into the air like fireworks. Up above on the surrounding buildings, people could be seen, waving their hands, hollering out. A poster could be seen plastered on the side of the building, the words “Saitonia’s Webs” painted neatly across it. A cloaked figure similar to one of the figures walking towards the dock was pictured on the poster. A figure holding a bladed staff began to wave at the audience above, briefly eyeing each and every member of the audience before setting his gaze on the waters of turmoil. A huntress with a furry coat on her back began to crouch near the docks, sniffing the air curiously. Behind her, a figure covered in what seemed to be a shifting mass of nanobots, moving organically and in an organized fashion. At last, the famous MagicSpaceKitty came into view. A figure, walking out of a purple portal, with balls of magic in both hands. The portal behind her collapsed slowly, and all five figures were now present on the dock, standing still, waiting. Saitonia ignored the rain, wiping his dagger with a gloved hand. The cheers began to die down, just as the night began to drag out. Silence... except for the pattering of rain, the booming of thunder, the sound of nearby storms, the growls of untold beasts... and the slow ticking of the clocktower above them. A voice, echoing from somewhere above, broke the natural silence... “Welcome fighters. Here you shall see beasts of untold myths, beasts only thought to be fantasies, beasts rising from the deepest of the depths. Round 1, will now commence...” A rumble could be heard beneath the waters. A deep moan, echoing across the docks. The unsheathing of blades could be heard in the dark alleys behind the dock. Hooded figures flooded out into the open, each bearing a gleaming silver knife in both hands. Their hands were a pale yellow, and quite wrinkled, and bearing long nails. Aside from the hands, nothing could be seen from beneath the cloaks. Robo Owl produced a sword from his armor, holding it outward. Artemis began to notch an arrow on her bow, eyeing each of these strange figures with yellow darting eyes. MagicSpaceKitty rotated a ball of void magic between both of her hands. Pistol Pete spins his staff on his right hand, rotating it continuously, trying to intimidate these mysterious figures. Saitonia shakes his head and lets out a deep sigh, almost as if in sympathy of these victims. One of the hooded figures, ridden with the smell of water, began to drag itself in front of the fighters, and it produced a creaky voice... “You have disturbed the great lord. You will pay for disssssturbing his sleeep....” Without warning, the hunched figure charges at Saitonia, grasping both knives tightly in each hand. Saitonia swiftly steps to one side, letting the cultist run past him. The cultist turns around in confusion, and swings at Saitonia. Saitonia parries with his dagger and swiftly brings his knee up, striking the cultist’s head. The cultist is sent falling to the ground, unconscious. With the fall of one, the cultists begin to swarm the team. Robo Owl slices through one of them, sending its decapitated head to the ground, motionless. Artemis stabs one of her daggers into a cultist’s chest, and sends him flying into another cultist. Pistol Pete is struck by a silver dagger on his shoulder, pooling blood on his shoulder. He swiftly sends a cultist down with a blow of his staff. MagicSpaceKitty flings balls of void magic at another cultist, about to attack Saitonia. The figure begins to burn into a pile of purple ashes, screaming while its remains flutter into the air. The fight goes on, with the team suffering little injuries. Saitonia slices through multiple cultists with little difficulty, and Pistol Pete stands directly behind him, delivering a fatal blow to many of the cultists that had passed by him. Artemis fires a volley of arrows into a crowd of cultists surround Robo Owl, knocking out some. Robo Owl finishes the rest off with a well placed Nano Swarm. MagicSpaceKitty swiftly sends three cultists flying into the sea, her orbs of magic slowly melting them away as they hit the water. Only a few more cultists remained, and they were swiftly disposed of. Saitonia tends to a small scratch on his chest, and Pistol Pete brushes off blood from his shoulder. Saitonia shakes his head as he approaches a fallen Cultist, kneeling down next to it. “You poor thing. Let me put you out of your misery” says Saitonia in a low whisper. The cultist suddenly tries backing away, but a flash appears from Saitonia’s left hand. A staff is produced, and he fires it at the Cultist. The cultist finds itself on fire, screaming for help and writhing on the ground. Saitonia walks back to the group, leaving the Cultist burning to ashes. “You are formidable fighters. This next round will be somewhat harder. Best of luck.” The voice booms overhead once again. The sound of chains is heard from the alleyway. Two huge figures emerge, walking slowly, side by side, their faces covered with a bloody cloth of some sort. Shackles were present on both hands and feet, and their backs were covered with grey rags. Their arms could be seen, covered with a black dust of some sort. Their fingernails were huge, and hands huger. They walked on bare feet, also covered with the peculiar black dust. They positioned themselves in front of the group, towering over them all. They seemed to be at least 9 feet tall, no shorter. Saitonia reached for his dagger and Robo Owl’s sword morphed into a trident as the beasts began to speak. “Master hungry for sacrifice. Moghul provide sacrifice” The other beast began to speak in a similar raspy and heavy voice. “Moggoth hungry for flesh....” Artemis lets out a few words as she lets an arrow flying towards Moggoth’s face. “You’ve come to the wrong place...” [spoiler]continues below[/spoiler]

Moggoth staggers back as the arrow digs into his cloth covered head. Moghul grabs Saitonia and sends him flying across the dock. Robo Owl catches him with a nano swarm. Moghul begins to bring out a chain of some sort. He holds it in one hand, and at the end of the chain is a hook made out of bloody steel. He sends the hook flying towards MagicSpaceKitty, but she disappears from the spot and appears behind Moghul. She lets out two swift balls of void energy before dashing back to the main group. Robo Owl is sent flying to a nearby buidling as Moggoth slaps him. The giant then goes for Saitonia, who is recovering from his recent fall. Saitonia doesn’t notice the giant yet, but he hears the pounding of footsteps against wood. He looks up to see Moggoth only about a foot away from him. He tries to sidestep out of the way but he is sent tumbling off the dock. As he is about to roll off the dock, he fires a shot from his wabbajack, hitting Moggoth in the head. Saitonia splashes in the murky water, never reappearing on the surface. The blast of the wabbajack had dis something significant, however. Moggoth was not a giant cultist anymore... insead, he turned into a small chicken. The chicken pecked at the wood, staring at the fight around it with confusion. Robo Owl continuously stabs Moghul with his trident, blood showering his nanobot armor with every swipe. Artemis lets out a steady stream of arrows, each landing on different spots on the giant. The giant, however, barely staggers, and instead swings its hook towards MagicSpaceKitty, wounding her in the chest and knocking her aside. He smacks Robo Owl off his back, and he kicks Artemis away. The giant nears Artemis, grasping its hook tightly. The huntress grans her arrow and her bow, ready for a fight. Suddenly, Pistol Pete stabs one end of his staff into the monster’s back, distracting the giant. Artemis lets out a shot at the giant’s throat, sending it to its knees. MagicSpaceKitty teleports in front of the giant, briefly hovering there for a moment. She puts one hand on the giant’s cloaked face as Pistol Pete holds the abomination back with his staff. Her hand glows a bright purple, and the giant’s head begins to radiate with the same color. After about two pulses of energy, the giant’s head begins to vibrate, and in a second or two, the giant’s head explodes into a mess of red. Pistol Pete shoves the headless corpse to the ground, hitting the ground with a large thump. He steps over the corpse, being careful not to get caught on the steel hook laying flat on the ground. MagicSpaceKitty groans as blood begins to pour from her chest, and Robo Owl tinkers with his armor, noticing sparks and the smell of smoke rising into the air. Artemis brushes off some blood from her Nemean Lion coat, and she turns towards the dark seas, her eyes filled with determination as the waves call out to her with a hypnotic crashing. Pistol Pete begins to feel a bit drowsy.... the drone of the waves suddenly becomes much fainter, and the crackling of thunder begins to form into an unstoppable pain. The same happens to the other three members, each grasping their head in pain. A steady rumbling is heard... the thunder booms louder, the lightning begins to flash brighter, and the waves grow bigger. The same voice booms overhead, but it is nothing but an inaudible buzz to the fighters. “Round 3 shall now commence. You will face a cosmic horror...” A dark figure moves in front of the team, parting the water as it slowly rises to the surface. A giant webbed hand grasps the edge of the dock, and slowly, something giant rises above the water’s surface. Yellow eyes can be seen, and a wet bald forehead just above them. Below them were tentacles, acting almost like teeth. This was just the head of the abomination. It stood there for a while, its head bobbing above the water and its hand grabbing the dock. The fighters looked at the figure with weary and worried eyes. It began to let go of the dock and.... it flew up, letting water fly everywhere in huge amounts, causing a huge wave to crash over the contestants. A giant whoosh of air followed as it brought its wings up, hovering in the air, and another whoosh as it brought its wings back down. The wings continued to flap, and the creature hovered above the dock, dwarfing the contestants. Artemis wad the first to make a move. She snapped out of the hypnotic trance and she dashed to her side, letting out three arrows as she took cover behind a brick wall. The arrows hit their mark, as always, but they only bounce off, as if they were harmless rubber darts. The flying creature holds its position, eyeing its opponents quietly, ignoring the water trickling down from its forehead. Robo Owl sends a small swarm of nanobots flying at the creature’s face, but they do little to damage it, causing only a small scar. Pistol Pete hears a small chirp overhead. He looks up to see a bird of some sort. He smiles, immediately knowing what it is, and he rushes towards the creature, making a risky move. He jumps off the dock, and raises his staff above him, aiming for the creature’s forehead. He digs his staff into the creature’s face, hanging on as he dangles in midair. The creature stays motionless, ignoring the green blood oozing out of the wound. The bird lands on top of the staff, and it holds in its beak a small jade knife. Pistol Pete takes the knife, and stabs it in the creature’s eye. A roar is produced in response, sending Pistol Pete flying into the waters below him as he loses his grip of the staff. He plops into the water, never reaching the surface again. The bird raises its wings and flies away into the distance. The creature, however, was roaring, and swinging its hands furiously. A bolt of lightning strikes the ground next to Robo Owl. A crater is formed on the spot. The horror descends to the ground in front of it and reaches for Artemis, putting its hand directly in front of her. Compared to the hand, she was relatively tiny. Her head began to throb. Voices began to echo around here. She couldn’t defeat the sensation. She notched her arrow, her eyes filled with a yellow energy of some sort, and aimed it at MagicSpaceKitty. Robo Owl stares at the abomination towering above him with anger. “You turned her against me!?!?” In response, the creature flicks Robo Owl into a nearby wall of s building. Artemis lets the arrow go, and the string sends it flying straight into MagicSpaceKitty’s chest. The mage staggers a bit, but she teleports behind the archer and rips her lion coat off. Artemis, now vulnerable, tries to ward the mage away while the Creature above them watches in silence. MagicSpaceKitty tries to charge a ball of void energy but she barely avoids a hit from Artemis. Suddenly, the mage remembers her revolver. She reaches for it and lets out a quick shot. Artemis lowers her arms, and she stops fighting. Slowly, she falls to the ground, the sound of gunfire still lingering in the air. MagicSpaceKitty notices a gunshot on the huntress’s forehead. “Sorry....” whispers the mage as she turns towards the horror. Robo Owl sprints next to her, briefly eyeing the dead huntress on the ground before grabbing his sword. The creature above them is as motionless as a statue. Robo Owl uses this chance to make a gash on the creature’s webbed foot, but the sword merely bounced off. He looks at the staff, stabbed into the creature’s forehead. MagicSpaceKitty begins to speak... “It seems that it’s vulnerable in the head region.” Robo Owl jumps upward with the introduction of said words, and he clings onto the creature’s knee with his sword. He looks up to see the creature’s face far above, still motionless. He swiftly climbs up to its forehead, and he prepares to stab the beast’s other eye. He draws his sword back, and forcefully pushes it into the remaining yellow eye. More green blood showers Robo Owl, and roars can be heard as he nearly falls off. The creature swings at MagicSpaceKitty, sending her flying into a wall and rendering her unconscious. Robo Owl keeps his grip and takes his sword out of the creature’s eye. He continues slashing the beast’s forehead, spouting green blood everywhere with every swipe. The creature swipes one hand above its head, nearly hitting Robo Owl. Robo Owl nearly falls off, but he stabs the sword into the creatures neck, and he lets go of the sword, falling back to the ground. Green blood covets the ground around him. The creature eyes him with ferociousness. He sees lightning crackle above him. In a last effort, he raises his nanobot armor above him, forming a shield above his head. The lightning hits his shield, shattering it to a shower of black glistening pieces. He was now armorless and vulnerable. As the horror begins to cook up another lightning strike, it’s head begins to pulsate with purple energy. It pulses once, and then twice, before the creature falls to the ground, creating cracks on the wood around it. On top of the creature stands MagicSpaceKitty, purple energy surrounding her hands. She jumps off the creature and runs towards the alleyway as the wood beneath the creature begins to crack. Robo Owl follows swiftly as the wood gives away, splitting into tiny pieces and breaking the dock. The dock collapses, and the creature falls back towards the sea, causing another huge splash as it hits the water and begins to sink. Robo Owl looks back up at the audience, now brewing with excitement. MagicSpaceKitty begins to mold a ball of void energy between her hands. The two were victorious in the battle against the cosmic horror. Another battle fought, another victory for the list. We hope to see you next time on OAFL horde mode.
