DM vs Addman

Addman felt strange seeing a copy of his old weapon in the hands of an enemy. Blue used far too many illusions for his liking, and Addman could do without that kind of confusion.

"Hurr, you know why I ditched that weapon? Doesn't do nearly enough collateral damage!"

And with that, Addman took aim and pulled the trigger.

. Heheh, ah well))

Even though Blue had been circling, she barely had time for what was happening to register in her mind, never mind jump out of the way. As a result, she managed to execute a rather failed looking leap before the lightning from the gun squarely struck the mutant. He was far too close for her to have done anything about it.

Blue screamed in agony as her body was sent on it's way to meet, then met the ground. Both her clothes and skin were smoking this time, but the illusionary scimitar remained clutched in her hand.

Blue coughed as she pushed herself up onto her elbows, knowing if she didn't move he'd most likely keep firing until he'd killed her. She was angry now too, not at him but at herself for not being smart enough to have gone or attacked him while he'd been occupied with that dance of his. As a result of her anger, the glow in her eyes grew brighter.

Blue had one more trick up her sleeve, which she hoped would buy her some time. This one had been taught to her by Father Mac, as their abilities were very similar. While she was nowhere near being able to create iluusions of fire or lightning, she could make one of the effects they produced.

Blue made blinding white light appear out of nowhere, although it appeared to center on where she'd fallen. It was something of a desperate effort on her part, she hoped to blind him for long enough that she could move off the clearing and out of sight. Blue slowly picked herself up and began just as slowly walking towards the trees.

Before Addman had a chance to revel in the damage he'd caused to Blue, she created a blinding flash, which sent the muppet's googly eyes rolling around in circles. Unsure of what just happened, Addman stumbled around in a blind panic, wondering what had caused that great flash.

He tripped over a nearby branch, and hit the dirt hard, landing with a bump right under his jaw. The muppet scrambled round amongst the soil and leaves trying to determine which way was up.

Confused by the proceedings, he figured that it was the lightning cartridge that had malfunctioned and caused a great flash. This is where Addman made one of his biggest mistakes he'd ever made in his life. Deciding to change the faulty cartridge whilst blind wasn't the wisest move as he fumbled the loose canister, dropping it on the floor. It shattered, instantly releasing a high-voltage blast in the vicinity of a couple of feet. Addman bore the brunt of his own stupidity as he fell to the floor once again, shaking violently and smoking.

Blue laid a hand on the bark of a tree she'd managed to get to gratefully, and edged around it until she would be out of sight. Once she believed she was the mutant rested her back against the trunk, briefly allowing her respite from the pain she'd had to endure just to get over here.

Blue closed her eyes and breathed deeply before opening them again as she heard something heavy hit the ground. Blue peeked around the tree to be greeted by the sight of a smoking and trembling muppet curled up on the floor.

The draconic mutant walked over to where he lay, eyes still bright though she didn't dare try to use her wings and jump. She found this to be a little ironic, her standing over him while he lay injured on the floor.

"You know, I don't take any pleasure in killing. But this should help cleanse Blackstar"

She said as she raised the scimitar and brought it towards the muppets body.

((Sorry it's taken so long to reply, I haven't had as much time as I'd like to formulate a response lately.))

As Blue approached his position, Addman was steadily regaining his motor skills. The shock still reverberated with a dull ache throughout his body, but control of his limbs was returning as well as his eyesight. He saw a shadowy outline of his opponent draw near until she was almost standing directly over him.

"You know, I don't take any pleasure in killing. But this should help cleanse Blackstar" she said coldly; cold even for Addman's tastes, and he was a man who loved his ice cream.

Addman had to act fast. As if by some sort of survival instinct, he mustered up as much energy as his injured form would currently allow, and hastily scrambled to the side, flopping out of the way of what could have easily been Blue's finishing blow. He continued to crawl in a scurried fashion through the dirt to try and get to safe distance, and as he did, he quickly took out a cookie grenade. Holding it in his palm, as his hand came down to meet the floor, it detonated, spewing forth a covering cloud to allow him to get away. Under the cover of a million crumbs, he scrambled away to find a safe location.

((Absolutely loving this battle, let's keep it up))

((Heheh, me too. Btw, sorry I took so long as well, holidays and bf craving my attention kind of ate up all my time Wink

))

Blue was a little shocked when her illusionary scimitar sliced into nothing but the ground beneath them, but this didn't last for long. What appeared to be a slight but grim smile graced her face as she turned to watch the muppets progress.

The draconic mutant took two steps towards Addman before the cookie grenade exploded and covered the clearing in obscuring crumbs.

~I should have known~

She thought as grimly as her expression showed, and she gingerly opened her wings. She had been too far out of the ways for there to be an accessible tree branch for her, and she wouldn't have been able to see it anyway.

The idea of walking around blind was bad enough for Blue to bear the pain of fully unfolding her wings, she flapped them slowly a few times just to make sure. The pain was definitely still present, but it was bearable.

Blue flapped her wings as fast as she dared while biting her lip, which isn't a very smart thing to do when you have fangs. So a slight trickle of blood began to run from her lip down to her chin as she attempted to part the crumbs.

Scrambling to his feet, Addman tried to keep his body low as he stayed under cover. Suddenly, he felt a draught behind him and could hear a flapping noise. Blue was using her wings to clear the debris. He had to find a place to hide quick, to gather his thoughts, and to reload his weapon.

Running directly into the bushes and greenery around them, Addman slid through the dirt, skidding to a halt inside some of the flowery undergrowth. He hoped it would be enough to conceal him for a few more moments as he knelt down on one knee.

Reaching into his fur, he whipped out another Plasma cartridge. This had suited him well earlier in the battle, so he figured he may be able to regain some momentum in the duel if he went back to this type of ammo. He pressed the release catch on his rifle, and began to insert the cartridge.

Blue continued to beat her wings until the crumbs in front of her cleared, leaving open air and the rest of the sugary debris to either side. She wiped the blood that had trickled down her chin away with her arm, as it was starting to tickle and stopped biting her lip. Only once she'd folded her wings did she realise that she'd been biting her own lip and felt the pain from the puncture. It was nothing compared to the burns she'd received.

Blue scanned the foliage that she could see with her bright yellow eyes. Addman had disappeared from her sight again, but at least he hadn't dropped out of the sky again. That meant, he was probably hiding.

Unsure of whether or not the muppet could see her, Blue cautiously made her way over to the trees. She thought perhaps she could use them to hide while she was grounded.

With the cartridge successfully loaded, Addman peered out from behind the foliage and saw, to his luck, that Blue was walking in his precise direction. She seemed to be approaching cautiously, but he doubted caution could save her from a burst of plasma to the face!

Feeling a little more energetic than he had done earlier (the effects of the shock are beginning to wear off), Addman suddenly popped out of a nearby bush, and let off a burst of plasma from his gun without any hesitation. Unsure how accurate he was being, Addman followed up with two more frenzied shots, aiming in her general direction, but not taking much time to make sure his shots were on target. He was just desperate to score a hit and turn the tide of this battle back in his favour. He cared little for any collateral damage he may be causing.

((Sorry I've been a bit... out of sorts lately))

"ARGH-Ugh!"

Blue yelled as one of the wild shots hit her square in the chest and knocked her off balance, throwing the mutant awkwardly onto her back while her tail whipped about to try and preserve some balance, the other two wild shots whizzing harmlessly past. Her concentration now completely broken, the once solid sword slipped through her hand and then dissipated into nothing.

~Too close... way too close~ she thought as she lay a little dazed on her back, and brought her hands up to examine the damage. She could definitely see smoke rising from her cooked clothes though.

((Don't worry Swix, just glad you found the time to continue))

Seeing his opponent take the blast square on, Addman saw his chance. Deciding to try and add insult to injury, he stashed his rifle away for the time being, and darted out from the bushes, straight towards the downed mutant. As he came towards her, a giant grin began to form on his face, which grew larger and larger the closer he got. Once he was nearly on top of her, he slowed down a little, then flung his right leg out with some force, attempting to kick her in the ribs.

Swix · Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 11:30 pm Post subject:

"Agh!"

Blue involuntarily yelped when the kick hit her in the ribs, sending spasms of pain through her body. The draconic mutant turned the other way and curled up, bringing her wings forward until they formed a wall of leathery black scales around her chest area and beneath her arms.

The Flock members bright yellow, slitted eyes narrowed as she turned them to look up at the muppet. Her anger made the glow behind them burn brighter than before.

While she seemed to be at a loss for what to do now, her tail crept towards his legs. She meant to wrap it around one of his ankles and trip him up.

addman · Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 2:56 am Post subject:

Enjoying the humiliating pain he was giving, Addman raised his leg back to swing another into her ribs again. Unfortunately, he was too caught up to notice the tail which wrapped around his remaining leg and tugged him over.

He landed on the floor on his back. The wind escaped his body for a moment as he laid in the dirt for a second, trying to figure out what had just happened.

"So, that's how you wanna play, is it?" He said as he sat upright.

"Fine. Let's make this more interesting, shall we? No weapons! What do you say?"

Swix · Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:57 pm Post subject:

Blue felt relieved that her tug had caused the muppet to fall over and so stop his kicking her, and she released her tail from around his feet as he made the proposal. She carefully brought her wings away from her chest as she sat up, before moving them where they belonged, folded on her back. The draconic mutant slowly began to rise, the wince of pain from the last kick briefly showed itself before rapidly fading as her expression changed to a more serious one.

"Alright, fine. No weapons"

She backed away but kept her eyes on him as she stood back up, the material and skin on her chest where the plasma had hit looked to have melted into each other and must have caused a lot of pain. The mutant intook a breath with a hissing sound as she waited for him to stand up.

addman · Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:09 am Post subject:

He was surprised that Blue managed to get to her feet before he did, but regardless, Addman gradually rose to his feet.

"Great, now throw away your weapons. At the same time."

Taking out the stashed rifle, Addman slowly took it in his right hand, then held it at arms length from his body, to show her that he wasn't going to use it. He held it there and waited for her to take out her weapons, so they could discard them. The muppet watched carefully for her next move.
