[I'm not a bad person...]♠

"You again?" Raven scoffed as I entered the battledome. She seemed amused to see me. The usual red mist gathered around her feet, and she stood up as tall as she could, with her chest stuck noticeably outward. Her 'twins' were hard to miss.

"Don't sound TOO happy to see me," I replied wryly, straightening out my dark jacket. "Looks like I'll be your opponent for this round."

"Ohoho!" Her laughter filled the stadium. "So... you want a piece of me?" She bent forward seductively. "Then how about you come and get some..."

I raised my Archangel's blade. "I suppose it would be rude to refuse," I said with a smirk, and rushed to meet her challenge. We clashed over at her side of the arena - she blocked my strike with her claws, but only barely. Raven recoiled back, crouching in the mist, and pounced at me when I moved to strike again. She connected, and I was knocked backwards, and our bodies became entangled in the red fog.

After a great deal of struggling, I wrestled myself up on top of Raven and pinned her down. Her chest heaved, and she flailed violently, but I would not let her go. "Sorry," I told her, "but I guess you don't have to wonder any more..." I smiled at her. "I prefer the top position."

With that, I pierced her vampiric body with my Archangel's blade, and the battle ended.

♠[...I just have bad luck.]

[Fion Zshar-Ptitsa]

"This is actually kind of neat. I may never go back."

Chris looked at me strangely, unused to my random outburst. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to get him curious about what I meant, and with a swish of his sword, he ended the battle before I had the chance to fire my first shot.

(@ TNP: "I'm sorry. I just can't get over how cute I am as a boy." )

[Gefechtsbereit]

"A super hero?" I was utterly perplexed. The boy standing on the other side of the arena looked like one of those characters from the comic books that I've taken from an Allied prisoner the other day. Either I was in for a very big shock and beating, or this boy was just delusional.

"Go on, back home, boy. This is no place for you," I said, waving him off with my gun. I didn't want to fight someone who stood no chance.

But Fion seemed enraged by this and aimed his gun to shoot, pulling the trigger .... click. Nothing came out. I took the chance to tackle him to the ground, taking his gun and looking at it. Forgot to take the safety off. Shaking my head, I kept the gun and sent the boy off. "Maybe next time."

Hopefully he'll come back when he's actually ready to use this.

[Alnette an Dearg]

"..."

"How about we don't fight, then. I'm up for getting a few drinks instead." That idea seemed to cheer him up, and we left the Battledome, having a few beers and chatting. He wasn't a bad guy at all and it was kind of fun to chat with him. I left him there, returning to the Battledome to wait for my next fight.

@ Next poster - "Shall we?"

[Zachary Charon]

"Yes."

I watched Alnette return to the Battledome and felt something grip my heart. I didn't want to fight her, not just yet. So instead I bowed out before she had a chance to spot me. The victory was hers.

"C'mon then..."

[Lord Discord]

""Curses!" I swung my massive sword at here, but she dodged it with relative ease. Under powered, I retreated without a word. She was victorious.

(To My Next Opponent) "Let us battle."

[Alnette an Dearg]

"Shall we?"

Poor Discord. He did not seem to be at his best, so I allowed him to retreat. It was my victory, but it left me feeling somewhat empty. Perhaps I should stop letting people surrender and attack relentlessly? I'd have to think about that.

@ Next poster - "The odds are exactly even."

[Zachary Charon]

"Yeah, I s'pose they are."

It seemed that luck was not on my side this time. I charged in half-heartedly and swung at Alnette. She jumped backward to avoid it and slashed at me. I brought my gauntlet up to block but her blade cut through it and into my arm. Blood spattered the floor and I stood with one useful arm. I tried another attack, this time a spinning blow to the head, but Alnette ducked under it and stabbed me in the stomach. When she drew out her blade I hit the floor and passed out almost at once. I guess I should stop picking fights with her...

[Alnette an Dearg]

"Listen, I'm really sorry about yesterday."

Zach wasn't in the shape to fight me so I picked him/her up and carried him/her to the medical ward, careful not to damage anything further. I was beginning to find my mercy odd, but I did not care. Perhaps it is my fate to be merciful.

@ Next poster - "Let's do this."

[Zachary Charon]

"It's okay... really."

After spending some time in the medical ward I was ready to go again. Apparently the people who ran the 'Dome liked pitting me against Alnette. Well I was ready this time. I had gotten over myself and stood ready to take on Alnette. She looked like she wasn't sure whether or not to fight so I gave her a confident smile and all doubt was erased. We both charged in and struck each other with our respective weapons. I had to use my broken gauntlet as a shield against Alnette's Dark Excalibur since I had not fixed it yet. Of course, I still had my left.

"Get ready, Alnette," I said with my usual smirk. "I'm about to win this."

She returned my smile and brought down the sword on my head. I caught the blade in between the plates of my gauntlet and spun the weapon out of her hand. Alnette only had enough time to swear before my other hand was at her throat. We stood in the pose for a moment before I backed off and smiled.

"I'm willing to move on if you are," I said to Alnette with a forgiving smile.

Olli walks in and looks around.."Cool"
The girl in front of her looked like she'd be happy is a guy. Olli shrugged and walked over waving.
"Hey! I'm new so te--" The girl swung his fist at her. Olli jumped out of the way and glared "Not that friendly are we?" Not knowing how it worked she bounced up and stabbed her. "Take it like a man"

TNP :: Olli looked for her next foe and hoped they'd be nicer then the last one.

[Gefechtsbereit]

I walked into the arena, refreshed and ready for combat as I always was. Filled with the best meal I had in days, probably even months, and with a new pistol in my holster -- nothing can go wrong.

Until I saw my opponent. I looked at her quizzically, and nearly choked on my cigarette in surprise. "Hmm, are you sure that you're not lost, Fräulein?"

Olli shook her head, bouncing in anticipation. "Nope! I'm ready for a fight!" She seemed so eager for a little duel, and if it's what she wanted, I'll give her one. But I'll try to go easy on her. "Come on, come on! Give me your best shot!" she said, all fired up and ready to go.

"If you wish." I hesitantly took out my guns -- it didn't seem right to shoot her -- but I hardly had the time to think before Olli charged across the arena, jumped into the air, and dealt a massive kick to my abdomen. "Hyaaaaaaaa!" I helplessly flew into the wall and fell to the floor, limp.

"How'd I do?!" she asked, grinning from ear to ear.

Of course, I'm only human, and after such massive trauma, the only response I could give her was a bit of stuttering and coughing up blood before I blacked out. Olli frowned and rubbed the back of her head nervously. "Oops... I guess I got too excited. Sorry!"

[Snowy Zombie]

"For - uh - piracy?"
He hardly paid attention to my pathetic battle cry. He leveled his gun at her, and before I could get halfway across the arena, I was splattered across the walls. Ouch.
TNP - "I'm all up in your empire, stealin' your goods and treasures!"

[Mocha-with-a-Goat]

"Pirates?" -Eye twitches-

I hate pirates with a burning passion. They prey upon defenseless merchants trying to make an honest living and make everyone's life miserable. Though my opponent was a rather cute pirate, I would show her no mercy. I charged, my gun blazing. The pirate managed to jump away from the rounds and came at me with her scimitar. I quickly drew my own blade and we clashed. She was good with the blade, I'll give her that. She managed to kick me in the stomach and I keeled over for a second. However, I managed to jump aside as her blade came down at me neck. Luckily, she only got my cap. I came back her again, and she blocked every one of my blows. Finally, I backed off.

"Frack this s**t." I said, switching my blade out for Perseverance as the cute pirate came at me again. One mighty low swing and I shattered her legs, knocking her flat on her back. She cried out in pain, and I placed my foot on her neck to silence her. I pulled my sidearm again and aimed it at her face. BANG. Pirate exterminated.

Later, her body was chained to the hull of my command battlestar along with the bodies of other pirates as a warning to others.
