[b]Cell-3, the Snowy Owl[/b] has challenged [b]Ironninja777, the African Dwarf Frog[/b] to a duel in [b]Zeus’s Battlegrounds[/b]! Cell-3’s loadout: [spoiler]Outer Animal: Snowy Owl Weapon: High Frequency Blade that can cut precisely and can build up electrical energy over time that deals out shocks of electricity. Explosive Kunai that arc electrical energy around them before exploding with a small radius. Armor: Fully cybernetic body (see Raiden From Metal Gear Rising for the appearance). Occasionally I can see through slow motion through my one eye and using that I can precisely slice up objects. My speed and strikes are enhanced as a cyborg. Energy for the HF Blade is built by doling out strikes against enemies or by circulating it through my body, which takes more time and a brief period of sentience. Eyepatch has tiny microscopic cameras that help me pinpoint enemy movement. Attributes: Primary is Speed, secondary is Strength. Ability: Blade Mode Entrance: I come in, wielding the HF blade, while spinning it around me and make some snazzy remark like “You look nice enough to kill”, and before the fight starts, I close my fist, let electrical energy surge through it, and stroke the blade with one finger, charging it with electricity. [/spoiler] Ironninja777's loadout: [spoiler]Weapon(s): Viking Bearded Axe: Despite being a ninja, I prefer the bearded axe over a katana. This weighs a ton but is light in my cybernetic hands. It is made from Australian Iron Wood and from the same steel my body consists of. This axe, while seemingly crude from the modern age I am from, it is not. The blade is so sharp that the mere application of it to just about anything slices it in two. Pringle Projectiles: Thrown like Ninja stars, their greasy outer-coating makes it hard for opponents to catch mid air, while they are razor sharp. The grease coating also allows them to bounce off objects while leaving incisions. Grappling Hook: Basically the Just Cause 4 grappling hook. Can be used in close quarters to stun or as a item to escape danger. Defense(s): Outer casing: This metal is an alloy of the strongest metal that science can create and money can buy. Casing doesn't cover body completely and leaves joints exposed as to allow movement, but these joints and well protected with other means. Ability: Summons Hannibal the Cannibal's spirit: This spirit gives me a primary of Endurance and secondary of Strength instead of my normal attributes and creates a whole new sort of fighting style for me. Lasts for 4-5 turns. Attributes: Primary: Strength Secondary: Tactics Entrance: Materializes out of thin air and does the "I don't know about that one chief" gif thing. Entrance song is the first 27 seconds to Dark Eternal Night by Dream Theater. Appearance: I have a smooth outer casing that is painted matte black with neon blue accents. My joints all have the same neon blue color as the accents. My mask has a plain black wrap that looks like a ninja mask. My eyes glow blue as well. I have a cape made of black fabric hanging over my shoulder. [/spoiler] Our fight today is set in Zeus’s Battlegrounds, where a Greek temple lies quietly surrounded by a ring of fountains. Gold and diamonds are inlaid into the pillars and decorations of this temple. In legend, people say that Zeus himself watches over this arena, presiding over the fights that take place here. Inside the temple, Cell-3 steps forward and spins his electrified sword around him. His metal body glints in the light from the chandelier far above. Seemingly by magic, either produced from Zeus above or from a stereo installed in Cell-3’s cyborg body, [u][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpxsMyoXUZQ]this[/url][/u] begins to play within the temple. He raises an iron fist and electricity surges through his hand, arcing between each of his fingers and knuckles. He grins maniacally at Ironninja777 across the room and says, “You and me. Right here, right now.” As he talks, he runs a single finger down the edge of his blade, producing a sharp ringing sound and charging the blade with a small amount of electricity. Across the hall, opposite the gravestone, Ironninja777 steps forward and does whatever [u][url=https://media.tenor.com/images/49ffda7291ef9f28cf52782002b09b61/tenor.gif]this[/url][/u] is. [u][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL4iZVCBgQk]This[/url][/u] begins to sound through the temple, this time for sure coming from Zeus himself. Ironninja777’s black fabric cape flows smoothly as he steps forward to accept Cell-3’s challenge. They pause for a moment, then Ironninja777 flings out a Pringle at Cell-3 across the room! The fight begins! Cell-3, seeing the attack coming, slices the Pringle in two with his sword and rushes forward at Ironninja777. Cell-3 swings his sword at Ironninja777 faster than the electricity building within his body, but before his sword connects, Ironninja777 fires his grappling hook off to his left to zip away, safe from harm. While on the wall, Ironninja777 flings another Pringle at Cell-3, which Cell-3 deftly dodges. In violent response, Cell-3 flings a fan of his kunai straight at Ironninja777, but Ironninja777 smashes the wall of the temple and blocks the kunai using the masonry debris that flies out, truly quick thinking. When the kunai connect with the masonry, they explode into a million tiny shards, sending the stones flying back in Ironninja777’s direction! Quickly, Ironninja777 drops to the ground, disengaging his grappling hook and landing safely. Cell-3 decides to take this opportunity to charge his blade with electricity. Lightning begins arcing through his body and into his blade. While Cell-3 is vulnerable, Ironninja777 grapples one of the falling pieces of masonry from the explosion earlier and flings it at Cell-3, striking the defenseless target! The first strike of the match! Then, Cell-3 seems to speed up. It’s as if he’s defying time itself! In the blink of an eye, his blade, now fully charged with electricity, instantly slashes Ironninja777’s grappling hook, disabling it for the rest of the fight. The electricity from the sword arcs along Ironninja777’s chain and shocks him, but it doesn’t seem like Ironninja777’s too badly hurt. Cell-3 seems to slow back down, and Ironninja777 takes this opportunity to throw a Pringle at Cell-3 in close quarters, giving him barely any time to dodge! However, Cell-3 slides underneath the Pringle and Ironninja777, leading into a fan of kunai into Ironninja777’s chest! Ironninja777 blocks the kunai with his axe, but upon striking the axe, the kunai explode, severely injuring both Ironninja777 and Cell-3! Ironninja777 manages to shrug off the blow, even though he’s clearly heavily hurt, and stomps the ground where Cell-3’s head was a moment ago, but Cell-3 continues his slide and stands up behind Ironninja777, panting from the exertion of enduring his own attack. Electricity begins arcing faster along Cell-3’s blade, and Cell-3 spins in a circle with the sword, discharging his electricity all around him! Just as the sword nears him, Ironninja777 activates his own Unique Ability! The spirit of a giant frog descends from the heavens above and merges with Ironninja777! At that moment, Cell-3 slices Ironninja777 with his sword, discharging the electricity, miraculously missing God’s gravestone, and turns back around to face his opponent. Ironninja777 staggers from the strike, and during this impossibly small window, Cell-3 runs outside of the temple, away from the metaphorical beast that Ironninja77 has become. Ironninja777 recovers and stands ready beside the gravestone. Cell-3 recharges his blade with electricity, readying another discharge. They both freeze as the unmistakable sound of thunder echoes from above… Cell-3 finishes charging his blade and steps inside the temple. Ironninja777 stands on the opposite side of the gravestone, so Cell-3 approaches the gravestone and faces Ironninja777 in a ready stance. It’s become a Mexican standoff situation! Lightning cracks outside, making them both jump from the sudden BOOM! of the thunder and Ironninja777 flings two Pringles at Cell-3, attempting to take advantage of his lapse in attention. One Pringle is flying directly at Cell-3, while the other bounces off a pillar and is flying toward him from behind. Cell-3, too tired to dodge both, lets one strike his sword and dodges out of the way of the other Pringle. Stepping with his dodge, Cell-3 lets loose three shurikens directly at Ironninja777, flying faster than Ironninja777’s own Pringles! Ironninja777 draws his axe and blocks all three shurikens with it, but upon taking the last shuriken, the axe splinters and breaks, dropping to the ground at Ironninja777’s feet. At that moment, lightning strikes inside the temple, temporarily knocking down and dazing both Ironninja777 and Cell-3! They furiously attempt to get back up and regain their senses, but Ironninja777 manages to recover slightly faster than Cell-3. In the moment he has before Cell-3 recovers, Ironninja777 flings another Pringle at Cell-3, but Cell-3 manages to recover before he is hit and ducks to his right, narrowly avoiding the Pringle slicing him in the face and instead taking the hit in his cheek.
