Tag Team Round 1: Father Mac vs GBE

[GBE]

((Arena: It is a vast green land, with the occasional tree spotted about, and a forest just on the edge of the green plain circling around from the right to the left, in a semi-circular fashion. To the right is a large lake, several metres deep, and at least twenty feet in length and thirty feet in width. Around the plain there are a few boulders spread about randomly. There are most likely rocks and stones spread around somewhere.

New Ruling: All parties are allowed in the arena at the same time, rather than actually tagging in and out. Use this wisely.

Judges: Shaon and Endshultz))

[EnDSchultz]

EnD stands on one end of the colloseum, dressed in his ceremonial regalia and, seeing that the match is about to start, walks up a flight of stairs onto the holographic platform. Stepping into the fighting arena, it would appear to persons within as if he had appeared out of thin air. From the inside, looking around, one can only see a vast flatland for miles. Hologram technology of the Dojo allows for boundless environments to be simulated perfectly within a confined space. To the outside observer, the arena is no more than a transparent dome, the ground inside scrolling to keep the view centered on the combatants as they traverse the endless space within.

The Predator steps onto a pedestal-esque rock in between where the two teams will start. He puts on his most official sounding voice and announces to the crowd outside the holographic illusion,

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Dojo, welcome to the Arena! Round one of the Tag Team matches is sure to be full of thrill and excitement! Which side will come out victorious? Pious Father Mac and his partner, Candy? Or the ferrocious and deadly GBE, represented by Josh and Kafka? Let's not waste any time finding out!"

The two teams are warped into the arena.

"Good luck, combatants. Begin!"

He strikes the rock on which he is standing with the end of his staff, and with an unnatural resounding bang and a small flash of light, both he and his makeshift pedestal disappear.

[Falhado]

~Candy, my friend, be careful and remain wary. I do not know of who we are challenging, and it would just as easily be us caught off guard if we are not careful. Do not be afraid to seek me if you find yourself in a struggle.~


"Yes Father" she replies, "Should we split up, and attack our opponents individually. Or do you wish to have me remain close by?"

~We shall split, and find our opponents. We should circle them, and push them into a disadvantageous position where they are trapped between us both. I shall keep in contact, and shall show you what I see, as I will also see what you see~
Father Mac then begins to walk through the trees, remaining wary, and his mind open to all things. He did not wish to be caught off guard.

Candy remains only a few metres away, silently shifting through the plant life, as if she were one with it. Her keen eyes watch for the slightest movement, and any footprints left in the soil, branches or leaves that have been broken as others passed by them.

How Josh had come across Kafka would be a strange story to tell anyone, and even Josh himself wasn't too sure if this was all a dream right now. If it was, he wouldn't mind waking up, but he had a sinking feeling that everything was actually happening right now. He'd been dragged into this by Kafka, he hadn't even been able to say no as Kafka had signed them both up so quickly.

Kafka later explained he'd upset his life mate Harpy somehow, and had to prove to her that he's a worthy mate for her, just so he might live a few more days at the very least. Harpy did seem to come across as highly aggressive.

Neither of these two seemed to exactly excel where tactics were concerned. However, Kafka decided to revert to his natural instinct and take to the trees, brushing through the canopies as he swung from web line to web line, making all kinds of noise. Suddenly, he stopped as he spotted a person with no hair. At first he thought it was a man, but as the scent of this person drifted up towards him, he realised that it was a female.

He noticed that his mind was gently being touched as if someone were trying to find him and Kafka. He only realised this, as his daughter had mind reading abilities and he'd learnt to detect such things. His training at blocking out others was pathetic however, unless he took his alternate form and became an arachnid, as his mind becomes more primal and confusing in that form. Deciding this would be his best course of action, he transforms into what appears to be a completely black tarantula, with pink colouring at the tips of its feet.

Now about twice the size of any average human, with much more strength, and two fangs ready to insert a concoction of chemicals into whatever comes, he's now a deadly killing machine. A tank on legs. Eight legs.

Josh, however was completely oblivious to Father Mac's mind touching, as he'd become so used to much stronger intrusions that he couldn't feel it, nor did he realise that he might be found easily. Snapping twigs as he steps through the bushes and trees, he winces every time he does so, another chance for whoever this Father Mac guy was to strike him. Josh stops dead still when he sees a man dressed in black walking towards him.

Kafka however, takes the direct option, and launching himself from the trees, drops down towards Candy, legs ready to curl around her and strike, his fangs poised to impale and poison her...

[Falhado]

Father Mac sees the boy walking towards him. Taking in his appearance, he certainly did not appear to dress like any of the locals or as a particular faction would. He appears to be from a tribe of some kind. Time not withstanding, he wastes no time of releasing a telekinetic blast from his person, causing his clothes to flutter slightly. He watches as te twigs snap and bend as the blast travels towards Josh.

Candy lets out a little shriek as a giant black shadow drops down towards her, her attention having been gained by the branches that it is falling through. It took a few more seconds of which she found herself with not many to realize that this shadow is a giant spider of some kind.
She had never needed to openly use her powers in open spaces, as the deterrent of her blade had been enough to ward away those who would bring harm against Father Mac.

This time is indeed one of those times she draws upon her powers, and rapidly placing one hand upon a tree, and one upon the vines around it, she becomes one with both as her skin colour becomes a mix of brown and green, small leaves slowly sprout from about her face and head. The tree and vines themselves do not yet change, but she moves their positions so that the tree moves across the gap between her and the creature, and the vines unravel and attach themselves to many another tree, blocking the path between both her and the spider.

[GBE]

Josh just stands and stares as the priests clothes billow slightly. He had yet to see a telekinetic blast before, and thought that there was a strong wind parting the trees and branches, although, why some were snapping he couldn't quite figure out. That's when it hit him. Propelled backwards through the air, as if something big and heavy had just hit him, he struggled to get air back into his lungs. He swings his force field behind him just in time as it collides with a sharp branch, shattering it into nothing.

His shield hits the tree trunk, closely followed by Josh, who slumps down to the ground. Shaking his head, he attempts to clear his blurred vision and groggy head. He felt extremely uncomfortable like this. Attempting to stand, he wobbles a bit as he leans up against the tree...

Kafka, much to his own surprise, lands on a tangled web of leaves and branches. Supporting himself up against what he could, he carefully begins to manoeuvre around feeling for the slightest vibration in the air or from the trees themselves as he is unable to see exactly where his opponent is, she seems to have blended in with all of the other colours...
