[Spar] Devil?s Gate [M-LV]
This is a Spar between myself and HyperZeroX

[B][CENTER]Location
[SIZE=1]Devil?s Gate[/B]

[I]It?s getting dark. The sky above is tainted red, pink and orange as the sun slowly disappears behind the rock formation that was warmly nicknamed the Devil?s Gate. One look at the rocks would justify its name; a gateway stretching up to the sky, red and orange behind it from the sunset. If you stand some distance away from it, in the long wiry grass and amongst the few awkwardly shaped trees, you can still see the Gate looming in front of you, like it?s at the end of a tunnel, just looming there? waiting. Waiting in the middle of a deserted grassy area that would soon be pitch black.[/I][/CENTER]

There wasn?t really anything spectacular to see to the normal person, but to Eskara, who had spent all his life in Warsaw amongst the ruins and disturbances of the 3rd Wold War, the Devil?s Gate was a true beauty. He wasn?t exactly sure how he got to such a place, nor was he sure how far from home he was? right now it didn?t matter. He was more pre-occupied by the way it looked.

He walked forwards, running his hands over the tips of the long grass towards the two rocks that looked like a large, dominating gateway. The sun was setting, or at least that?s what it looked like beneath his tainted blue glasses. Quickly, he glanced around for any indication that there were people watching him. After just a few seconds of glancing around, he lifted his sunglasses from his eyes revealing deep blue orbs with scars, cut down from the side of his eyes and under them from his nose.

The sunset made the rocks look like they were guarding hell. It was like fire inside it, not very violent fire, mind you, just fire. Eskara replaced his glasses and smiled. He loved it. For some reason, he loved the fire and flames it made. Maybe, when the war finally finished, he?d bring his friends and his fellow warriors here, as a treat.

The probability of them winning the war was a nice, solid, 89.2%. The government would leave them alone once they won. For Eskara, it was a personal war. Beating the horrible law that had been enforced wasn?t just winning a battle, it was winning over his own problems. That?d be a great triumph for him.

He suddenly heard a twig snap and was immediately drawn to the trees (where else would a twig be snapped?). He stared to his left for a moment, where the sound had been heard and moved forward, cautiously. Anyone who followed him could not be trusted. Either they were the enemy or they were his friend who had breached a command. That didn?t make Eskara happy at all.



[I]OOC: Short post to start off.[/I][/SIZE]

[Guest HyperZeroX]

[SIZE=1][I]...A small, blue tinted orb, fell from the tree, which, to the normal eye, would appear to be nothing more than a decorative stone...

...However, this was not the case, as it was an etherneal window, which, having the mana latch onto particles and atoms, seemed to be solid, and hold the form of a small, smooth sphere...

...This orb, would allow Ryou, to watch his foe, from the etherneal realm, thus the name window...

...At any rate, because of this, he would've located his target, the man who the government had put quite the bounty on...

...A shadow, was cast over the field, for a few moments, as a figure, would slam into the ground, around two meters from Eskara, two blades also slamming into the ground, on either side of him, and going around a foot in...

...At any rate, if Eskara were to turn, he would see two massive wings, each one, a shade of deep blue, as they seemed to shrink, and lose overall mass, before 'fusing' together, so to speak, with the end product, a four foot scarf, wrapped around a young man's neck...

...The figure, would give Eskara a glare, for a few moments, the blue shade of his eyes and hair, would most likely seem odd to the man, along with his adamantium armor, and white and blue clothes...

...Bending down slightly, he would grasp the blade of Valiance the Godslayer, in his right hand, and Yoshituna, in his left, before drawing them from the ground, as he stood up straight once more, and looked at his foe...

...Mana was now pouring from his body, latching onto the particles and atoms, within the air, manipulating them, before they would blast forth, in a solid wall of kinetic energy...

...Meanwhile, mana, not being affected by gravity, would near instantly, move behind Eskara, moving at the speed of light, which, when your moving at the speed of light, a moment for you, would be an hour for most...[/SIZE][/I]

[SIZE=1][I]OOC: Eh, not being a pest or anything, but would it be okay if you wrote in present tense? That or? make it a little clearer if my character/your character does or doesn?t do something. I?m not saying change your style or anything just asking if you could possibly make it a bit easier to read. No offence, I definitely meant none. If you don?t want to I that?s fine.

And I hope you don?t mind my post, but this is the way I do things.[/I]




[B]Post Number: 1[/B]

Eskara got a feeling that something was really, really wrong. The field before him seemed to darkened, even beneath his blue tinted glasses. He was compelled to lift them up and see if the field really was darkening, but he was already unsure of the land around him. The concept of others seeing him without his glasses on scared him to the core.

He turned, just for a moment, unsure of what made him do so, to caught the smallest glimpse of a figure before him. Strange shades of blue, something Eskara had never actually seen in his life, and Eskara had seen a lot. Thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him and that one of his mental disorders were arising again, Eskara closed his eyes and breathed. He opened them slowly, only to find he had collided with something.

Or something had collided with him.

In the brief moment he opened his eyes there was a light. Eskara didn?t know which direction it came from, he only knew that it had hit him at tremendous force and sent him onto the, crashing on his shoulder into the dirt.

A moment passed in which Eskara lay still. He always did that, when hit by something he was unsure of he would stay still just in case it hadn?t passed, or in case it made him feel dizzy for a few moments. Breathing slowly, fed up of the constant fighting he had to do, he opened his eyes and stared at the grass from a few moments. He stood, angry and offended, to face the figure he had thought he saw. And he was right. There was someone there. He circled the shoulder he fell on and grunted.

[B]?Why did you do that??[/B] He asked, the corner of his mouth twitching angrily. He received no reply from the relatively young looking man, which could have set Eskara off in a rage. [B]?I asked you a question. [I]Why?[/I]?[/B] Eskara repeated, barely in control of his anger. He turned and ran towards the figure at a speed that only the military could match.

Eskara was even surprised how quickly he had ran towards the young man. In a few moments Eskara had thrown a punch forward (almost tripping, mind you), intended to implant it on the blue haired man?s face. Mildly started, the man simply grabbed Eskara?s fist and lightly guided it to the side. Eskara took his chance.

He snatched away from his enemy?s grip and grabbed him by the collar, pulling the man forward and thrusting his own forward into the man?s skull.

But he had taken himself off guard somehow. Eskara toppled backwards over his own feet and his skull cracked against the ground. Because it was the back of his head, Eskara found himself in immediate pain, rolling over and gripping his hair in agony, finding himself somewhat helpless for the moment.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][[I type in future tense, because where I come from, your moves can be countered at any time, so I say what [I]will[/i] happen, if they don't stop it. Also note, that you may want to avoid..controlling my character in the least, as I consider such godmodding in its purest form.]]

[I]...As the man stood up once more, and questioned Ryou, he replied, with a simple, "Because I can...", before chuckling slightly...

...At any rate, directly after that, because the man decided not to do anything about the mana, or did'nt know of its presence, it would immediatly latch onto the particles and atoms around Eskara, manipulating the thermal energy, within a five foot radius, to instantly drop to -273.15 degrees celcius, absolute zero, an area, in which kinetic energy, practicly comes to a halt, in other words, Eskara could'nt move without kinetic energy...

...Another side effect of absolute zero, is gas, freezes solid, and in this case, it would freeze oxygen solid, and along with the fact that Eskara could'nt move, even if he could get his lungs and heart to move, he would'nt have any oxygen to breathe...

...Ryou simply laughed to himself, assuming his foe was'nt nearly strong enough to counter such a simple move, but then again, it was a simple move for him, Eskara, probally never encounted such...[/SIZE][/I]

[Vicky]

[SIZE=1]OOC: Apologies for controlling your character, but remember I said I would be doing my own style of fighting. As a story format, it involves more than one character. Otherwise, I?d be A) Constantly attacking and never mentioning your character, or B) Making incredibly short posts.

See, as a story and a duel, it involves two characters. I left my character completely vulnerable after one little attack, is that god modding? No. Using ?mana? in a semi-realistic spar and freezing my character completely seems a bit god like to me. If I keep your character in-character, and keep the fair play rule, then I?m not really causing much of a problem. Freezing my character, [I]WHO IS HUMAN[/I], doesn?t seem very fair, does it? I?m not sure if I should have allowed you to get away with a non-human character.

This spar doesn?t end until we?ve had ten posts. I?m sorry to argue in an OOC, but to get out of this I?ll have to do a little God Modding myself. New rule: All attacks apply to [I]humans[/I], if a human cannot escape/survive the attack then the attack is void. I?ll try to exclude this attack and simply bullshit my why out of it. Remember, this match MUST LAST TEN POSTS EACH. You can kill my character as much as you like but I?m afraid he?ll be back until the ten posts are up.

Eskara?s body was frozen and he felt very cold. He wasn?t sure how it happened, nothing in his life had even happened like this. He was sure it was a mind trick, sure it was something creeping up again. Maybe it was all a figment of his imagination? maybe it wasn?t real.

It didn?t matter. Eskara wasn?t going to die in absolute zero. He could hear, or maybe just see his enemy faintly laughing to himself. He wouldn?t laugh for long. Eskara couldn?t close his eyes, but he imagined he did. There was something he knew, something that had happened to either him or humanity, that would render absolute zero child?s play. He knew he was capable of it, if there was one thing he was given that was good it was the ability to survive. Humans were good at survive. Even science helped them survive.

The blood cells would sometimes burst at absolute zero, but not this time. Glycerol, a substance that an Antarctic insect used to as an antifreeze in its bloodstream would stop Eskara from dying by means of his blood cells exploding throughout his body from thee rapid expansion of the ice crystals forming inside. The blood began to move again, the little oxygen allowed him to keep his heart beating for longer? and as a soldier, he was very good at holding breath.

What other substances did Eskara?s body behold? He wasn?t sure, he just knew that humanity?s need for survival by science was working. He began to move again. His body seemingly had enough inside him to heat up absolute zero, effectively bringing kinetic energy back to his body, and allowing him to move enough to breathe properly.

He broke out of it, slowly but surely, moving himself as much as he could. It wasn?t much progress. After what seemed like an eternity, Eskara found himself free of whatever caught him, collapsing on his knees and slowly moving his joints like he had just been frozen for years.

[B]?Didn?t count on us? soldiers having? glycerol in our? bodies, did ya??[/B] He stuttered, his jaw barely moving. [B]?I guess we? figured a few things out from nature. Us Polish guys may be the victims of medical science? but damn, it really does do some good. I managed to get my body moving in absolute zero? that?s called? I dunno, magic or something.?[/B]

He felt his forehead was still cold, somewhat like brain freeze. The metal in his skull was still frozen, it would be dangerous to attempt an attack with his head. Though it wouldn?t be dangerous to use his other body parts.

He stood up, taking a rock up with him as he did so. It was a heavy, large rock, and he knew his enemy could see it in his head. Grinning, almost snarling at him, Eskara ran forward.

He pretended to throw the rock once, a dummy. His enemy put up a fighting stance, and let it down the instant he saw no rock coming. The Eskara launched it while his guard was down.

The rock hit the man at tremendous speeds at the side of his head. Eskara was proud of his rock throwing. Still ached by his muscles, he forced himself forward as fast as he could, promising he would have a rest soon. Whilst the man was still unaware, Eskara side-stepped behind him, leaping up and locking his legs around the man?s waist and locking the man?s head in a very, very powerful head lock. Eskara?s size meant tremendous weight, choking down on the man in a sleeper hold.

[B]?My muscles are still a bit frozen now they?re relaxed. S?your own fault.?[/B][/SIZE]

[Guest HyperZeroX]

[SIZE=1][[A ten post rule?...thats pathetic, cowardly, and just plain n00b-ish. Now, using my mana, which, any human can use, I lowered the thermal energy in the area. Thats not god like, and if anyone here actually participated in a military RP, you'd know anyone is capable of it.

Lagoonarians are practicly human, besides one difference, so quit trying to say otherwise.

Now, as for anything at all, exploding, it would require kinetic energy, which, since you failed to return the thermal energy to a normal level, you lack, which means nothing can move, which also applies to your blood.

Because it would require kinetic energy to move, something you currently lack, you fail at removing yourself from Absolute Zero, and would die, a painful death.

If you call this a godmod, which i'm sure you probally do, as none of you have ever seen a real fighter, as far as I know, besides myself, I can bring in plenty of people who could get out of this move with ease.

Now, as for fair play, really, this is a fight, my objective is to kill you, is that not fair play, trying to win?

Sorry, but really, your dead now...

I HATE OTAKU'S LIMITS...It won't let me post yet ><
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maybe it'll work now ><]
Gah x.x
-------------------------------------------------------------]][/SIZE]

[Vicky]

[SIZE=1]....Did you just call me cowardly? LMAO. Hold your horses. A post limit tests you ability. Put all your creativity into just a few posts, not to mention, it'd stop you from killing me in two posts. I will try not to be mean, as that really, really would be breaking the rules. I apologise to all the moderators for doing this but I promise the end the Spar right here so I won't cause a problem.

Firslty, [i]humans cannot use mana[/i]. Mana is fictional. I had to bullshit my way outta your little trap, but at least my way actually exists. Nobody walks around using mana to create huge, massive orbs and freeze people. Nobody acts out the Secret of Mana games and expects it to be reality. Sorry, mate, but this was a semi-realistic Spar. You broke the rule, because Mana is not [I]real[/I].

Lowered the thermal energy? That'd god-like. Lowering it so my character [i]cannot react[/i]? I'm sorry, but didn't you say your style makes it so the other character can fight back? You might as well control my character, because I can't do anythingl. How is it fair to render my character completely helpless? He is not [I]your[/I] character to render helpless.

If you took away the kinetic energy then it wouldn't be absolute zero. Or at least, my character wouldn't be in it. For it to be aboslute zero inside my character, or even on his skin, one must assume that the cold must move throughout my character's body. But wait, it can't, nothing can move. So... what is it? Absolute Zero or no moving? Make up your mind. I'm no expert, but I don't think that's real. Besides, Mana doesn't exist to cause something like this to happen.

Okay, so I can't move or do anything. My character is basically dead. And that is not god modding... how? I don't think so mate.

I said you will play by our rules. I must ask you, maybe you could stop inforcing your own rules and play by ours? I don't mind your style, but I do mind you being all-high-and-mighty, saying you're so much better, when you can't adjust to a simply rule as the way we see god modding. Prove you're better, fight by our rules and not rules from another board. This is OtakuBoards, I don't think anyone would agree to that. We don't play like that. Would you like it if we all came to your forums and sparred like this? Would you like it if we didn't play by the rules you set? No. You wouldn't.

And I'm sorry for being mean, I truly am, but I'm just defending myself. I really don't think insulting me is called for. An eye for an eye. I won't argue my own point again.

I said ten posts, I [i]mean[/i] ten posts. Your attack is void. My character is alive, and we're going to keep fighting this. Do you want to? If you want to keep fighting me, then go ahead. If you don't, then I'll simply end the Spar and [i]your[/i] character will die. Not mine, yours, and I'll win.

[B]Mods: Guys, I'm so sorry if I went overboard with this, if I did then just give the word and my argument will be deleted. I just felt I had to defend myself and I apologise if I made a mess for you to clean up.[/B]

Eskara had his enemy right where he wanted him. He was hurting him with his sleeper hold, and almost putting him to sleep, hence the name. He tightened his grip on his enemy, pulling his wrist for better leverage. Eskara really did like this move, it was such a joy to use it and listen to the pains of his enemy's choking. Listen to them choke for once, helpless... dying....

Sometimes, they should be allowed to suffer... sometimes they shouldn't be allowed to die in an instant.

But this guy... Eskara didn't know him enough to make him suffer more than he needed to. It wasn't nescessary. It was uncalled for, it was against everything he learnt. So a sleeper hold would end it, at least he hoped. Why would such a young man be doing this? No doubt the government wanted to rid Eskara in the hopes that it wouldn end the war in their favour... no, Eskara would not die by governments hands. Nor by any other humans.

Then there was a severe, terribly, almost insane pain in his head. The metal was causing problems after being frozen. He tensed up, choked on his own breathe, and his foe took his chance. The young lad seemingly knocked Eskara off of him, sending the soldier to the ground, on his knees, grasping his head and hair, yelling inside his mind.

He was vulnerable again and he hated.

The pain reminded him of those days. All those years ago. He was hurting so bad but he couldn't get up, not even when he felt his enemy looming over him.[/SIZE]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your the only ones who don't use mana.
If you wanted it to be melee only, you should've said so.

Now, I will say this only once. I am hereby leaving Otaku Board, as none of you are decent RPers, your godmodders, your autohitters, your speedhackers, and the only thing that seperates you from a normal n00b, is you can spell.

As far as i'm concerned, your dead, so your post is void. But go ahead and say you won, if it'll make you feel better and help you protect your ways of RPing.

I'm out.]][/SIZE]

[Vicky]

[SIZE=1]...Right, okay, fine. You'd get torn a part here anyhow. But, in the good spirit of things (lmao) I'll end this nicely.

Actually I'm kidding. I honestly don't care anymore, I just want to kill your character. And, sorry to burst [I]your[/I] bubble, but if you think RPGing is all about writing in future tense, abusing commas, abusing full-stops, constantly using mana.... then you're much more n00b than I, or ANY OtakuBoards RPGer, ever has and ever shall be. Note the word Role Play.

You play your character, their experience, their thoughts... you didn't do that once. I have no idea what your character is like. Is that Role Playing? No. That's... cheating =p



You shouldn't be fighting with flashy attacks, constantly beating my character over the head, you should be fighting [I]me[/I]. You should be battling against my creativity, my own style, and trying to defeat not only the character I am playing as, but the mind behind it. That's sparring; that's a real battle for real Role Players.

This was't right. Eskara felt like dying right now. He couldn't even predict with his maths skills when he would die, he was just unsure. Why wouldn't it go away? He didn't like the pain. He just wanted to hurt others because of it. He just wanted to see them dead. Well, maybe this man should die a painful death. He had inflicted a pain upon Eskara that he didn't like. He was no better than the scientists. This man was no better than Eskara killing so many others.

He felt the man looming over him, felt his glare and everything he was. Eskara wasn't going to die. He looked up painfully, seeing that the man was raising a large, in fact huge sword above his head, ready to strike down on Eskara. Eskara looked at him, helplessly, almost like a puppy. He couldn't escape with this pain. Not unless he ignored it.

And he did. He tried his hardest, ignored the horrible, chilling feeling throughout his skill, and rolled to the side in the long grass, narrowly missing the blade as it thudded down powerfully into the ground. Attacking fast, Eskara thrust his boot at the man, catching his hand, causing him to drop his sword.

Eskara stood up, shakily, his jaw glued together trying to force out the pain in his mind. He looked at the man coldly, and managed to utter a few words.

[B]"You should have just left me alone..."[/B] he said, barely able to get the words out.

He jumped forward, leaping for the man. The young man himself revealed another blade, slashing it towards Eskara, catching his arm and creating a large, deep gash in Eskara's arm from his shoulder and almost down to his wrist. Eskara gasped at the new pain and tripped over, toppling on his head, clutching his arm, closing his eyes.

[B]"Your government has quite a bounty on you..."[/B]

The young man loomed over Eskara once more, who was still paralysed over the pain. The man knelt down beside him, taking off Eskara's glasses.

Eskara paused. He forgot why he was on the floor and instead became incredibly insulted, incredibly hurt.... incredibly angry. He saw his sunglasses fall before him and felt the young man remove his bandana, before rising up with his sword placed above Eskara's head. Eskara stared at the reflection on his own scarred face in his sunglasses, a cosmetic surgrey he had attemtped himself to remove the imaginary uglyness. He felt a hate for the assassin that would kill him, a hate that he really couldn't control.

He turned, looked at the young face, his blue hair and eyes, before attacking. Eskara's boot went forcefully into the young man's stomach, catching him off-guard, making him drop his sword. Eskara rose to avoid the blade and took the boy by his hair, raising him just above himself and off the ground.

[B]"Now you pay the price of the bounty on my head."[/B] Eskara snarled, bringing the boy close to his face, close enough to see the damage of thirty years.

Eskara pushed the boy back and pulled his own head back before having them meet in one disturbing, awful crash. Eskara's weakened metal plate inside his head hit the man on the nose, breaking it, putting blood on the young man and on Eskara's face. Eskara drew his head back again, smashing it into his enemy's face once more, and again, and again... again again...

So many times. It left the young boy unconcious... or dead. Eskara looked at him for a moment, wondering what he had done. He soon figured out he didn't care. Those who died deserved it, as did those who lived. But they didn't have to be dishonoured.

He lay the young man down in the grass, in the wake of the Devil's Gate and left it at that. Picking up his glasses, his bandana and his pride, Eskara decided he wasn't a philosopher. He was warrior and, really, he should go back to fighting with his people.[/SIZE]

[Guest HyperZeroX]

[SIZE=1][[Alright..as much as I would enjoy leaving this place, no one even tries to kill Ryou, and get away with it.]]

[I]...Considering that Eskara had been on the ground, taking his time like some emo loser with fighting back, Ryou, would've snapped his fingers, activating the Alter Liquid within his bloodstream, and sending him into his mana form, though, at the same time, he would've simultaniously activated his demon form, throwing him into his beastly mana form...

...The scarf would shoot out, splitting down the middle, whilst still growing, until it formed the pair of wings, while they would move down his back, and 'fuse' with his body, meanwhile, Yoshituna and Valiance, would've shattered, the mana shards, forming around his hands, and feet, to create a pair of razor sharp claws, whilst at the same time, the last bit of mana, would go to his back, before spanning down, forming a five foot tail, with a single razor sharp blade on the tip...

...Now, because Ryou would'nt have done anything Eskara thought, (maybe Eskara likes pretending to be a puppetmaster, or godmodding?), Ryou, would've shot into the air with a single flap of the wings, now moving at the speed of light, since mana isn't affected by gravity, allowing him to move at the speed of light, and if Eskara knew anything about physics, he would know that by even approaching the speed of light, time seems to slow down, and now, while moving at the speed of light, ab hour of time for Eskara, would be a single moment for Ryou...

...Now, because of this, it would be near impossible for Eskara, obviously, who does'nt use any sort of energies, to even keep track of Ryou's movement, or stop him for that matter, as, if Eskara was lucky, and I mean really lucky, he might catch a glimpse of a blur...

...Now, bolting down at Eskara, the mana, would begin latching onto particles and atoms along the way, giving Ryou a solid form, as, while he came down, he would slam both feet into Eskara's shoulders, sinking his claws into his skin, before coming forward, and slamming the claws on his hands, into Eskara's face, sinking them into his eye sockets, and pushing, before giving a single pull, most likely ripping his eyes right out of his skull, or at least severing the connections back there...

...After this, his tail, would snap up, like a snake jumping at its target, before sinking the blade on the end, right into his chest, and pushing in, right into his heart, before cutting accross, and pushing in, also ripping his lungs in half...

...After this, Ryou, would push off, with anonther flap of his wings, and land a meter or two away from Eskara, shooting him a glare, as he would most likely drop dead...[/I]
