Addman vs KC11

[addman]

The arena sprawled on for as far as the muppet could see, trees randomly occuring in every direction around him, broken up by the occasional bush or shrub. Glancing around, Addman felt very comfortable in the forest. In fact, it seemed that most of his latest fights took place in areas like this.

For now, the forest was a tranquil place that was filled with various bird calls and rustlings from small animals in the undergrowth. That would soon change as soon as Addman's opponent arrived, and he knew it.

While he waited, the muppet began to mull over everything he knew about the person who had challenged him, and swiftly came to the conclusion that he knew absolutely nothing. This match was obviously going to have a steep learning curve to begin with, but Addman had survived a number of dangerous encounters and figured that he could pretty much handle himself. Striding through the forest, the puppet advanced forwards, attempting to locate his opponent.

[KC11]

KC11 crouched in the nearby bushes, scanning the arena for her opponante. She was in her human form, and she found it very restricting and uncomfortable. Still, you couldn't hide a dragon in a bush.

"Or can you?" she began to wonder. Her mind was about to drift off to ponder such a question, but she shook herself and returned to Earth. If she wasn't careful, she could be distracted by her own questions.

She looked about, cursing her limited human vision. She hadn't fought addman before, in fact she had never fought at all. The closest she had ever come to a fight was when she and her sister, KC8, had argued over who got the head of the deer.

While she was remembering the time, she saw something. A flash of blue... was it addman? She ran quickly over to it, clutching her animal horn.

Disappointment went through her when all she found was a blue flower. But that wasn't the worst of her problems. She had moved, and caused a great bit of noise without thinking.

"Darnit." she thought. "Well, at least I don't have to search for much longer." she said as she brushed some dirt off her animal horn.

[addman]

Hearing a rustling to the right hand side of his position, Addman turned in the direction he had heard the noise.

~The mistake has been made~

He thought to himself, as he whipped out his new weapon from amongst his blue fur. A plasma rifle, fairly new and still a little experimental for the puppet, but he enjoyed it tremendously as it caused an awfully large amount of collateral damage, it felt more like his style.

Without much care into giving away his position, or as to his opponents exact location, Addman tapped the trigger three times in rapid succession. This action sent off a trio of purple, swirling orbs of plasma energy, in the general direction of the disturbance. Although he still did not have a visual on his challenger due to the overwhelming vegetation surrounding the whole area, he figured that he'd either score a lucky hit, or just shake his opponent up into further revealing herself.

Either way, he relished the thought of the small explosions that were soon to follow, and hopefully the damage he'd do to the area. Being the chaotic, selfish creature that he was, Addman craved a little bit of destruction sometimes.

[KC11]

When KC11 saw the plasma energy making its way towards her, she jumped quickly out of the way. Still, she wouldn't have had to do that, as the energy was way off its mark, and flew several feet away from where she just was.

"Surely you can do better than that!" yelled KC. She readied her bow and arrow and scanned the area. She saw a hint of blue and, hoping it wasn't another flower, shot at it.

[addman]

The arrow sailed a few inches away from Addman's right arm, so close in fact, that he could almost feel a slight gust of air as it glided past, firmly planting itself in a tree bark behind with a resounding thunk.

Ducking to the side, the muppet decided that he was too exposed to attack in his previous position. Moving swiftly, he hid behind a tree, placing his back against it. Judging from where he believed his opponent to be, Addman figured the tree was large enough to sucessfully conceal him from sight as he stood on the opposite side.

Cocking the rifle, without moving position or peering around the tree, he poked the barrel of the gun around it and pointed it at where he figured she'd be. He began blindfiring into the space, again, unsure as to where exactly he was aiming, but hoping to flush her out or at least destroy some the places she could possibly hide.

[KC11]

KC yelped as blasts went around the area. One blast made her fly backwards. This couldn't happen. She couldn't let this happen.

KC began to transform into her dragon self. Her head enlongated, wings sprouted from her back, a tail grew from her posterier, and scales covered her. She opened her wings and caught herself just before hitting a rather large tree. This time, no more miss nice girl.

She opened her mouth, roared, and started breathing flames at the nearby trees. She couldn't breathe lightning yet, she was too tired. But the flames, if they didn't scorch Addman to a burned crisp, would at least distract him enough for her to rest a bit.

[addman]

~A dragon? This is bad! Very bad!~ He thought to himself as he noticed his opponent suddenly begin to morph in a bulky, fire-breathing reptile in front of his eyes.

Before he could muster a response, whisps of fire began to swirl from either side of the tree which was covering him. The grand, age old plant began to smoulder after a couple of seconds, then began to collapse to the side as the wood was ripped from the bark in a decisive fashion. Believing that now might be a good moment to move out of the way, Addman ran out from his covered position and headed to the right side of the arena to find another tree or some sort of cover.

Unfortunately for the muppet, he was too slow and a whisp of flame ignited the blue fur upon his back. As he ran, he noticed how much his spine had began to burn, badly infact. Thinking fast, he dove to the floor and began to roll through what were previously undisturbed flowers and tall grass, igniting them and flattening them as he rolled with desperation.

He rolled into cover behind another grand redwood, then glanced back at his previous position. A clearing of flame had been formed as a raging fire had begun to decimate the immediate area. Addman did want to see some destruction, but not when he was in the middle of it!

He took the moment to make a change to his strategy. Turning his rifle over to the opposing side, he pressed a release catch and removed the plasma energy cell from within. Stashing it amongst his fur, Addman then pulled out a new cartridge for his gun, and began to load it as he hoped KC would cease the attack for a moment longer.

[KC11]

KC11 soon finished her flame attack, as she was getting out of breath. She looked around, and gave a wicked smile. The damage had been done.

Still, she could not see addman anywhere. The creature was either hiding, or had been burned to a crisp.

She stretched herself, then looked about. Nothing here, nothing there.

Then, her eyes spotted the slightest bit of blue behind a Redwood. Her dragon vision told her it wasn't a flower this time. She flew upwards and glided silently towards the Redwood, hoping to surprise the enemy.

[addman]

It was done. His rifle was successfully loaded, and now, he was ready to fight back. Peering from behind the tree, he saw the dragon was starting to head towards him.

The profanities which raced through his mind almost took a vocal form as this hulking lizard began to fly in his direction. Deciding that an outright assault may be his best method if defense.

Leaping from behind his cover, he turned to face his oppressor.

"This may give you a little jolt"

The cartridge he had inserted into his gun earlier was a lightning cartridge, allowing him the fire bolts of electricity at his opponents. He pulled the trigger and released a jagged bolt of lightning in KC's direction.

[KC11]

The lightning bolts hit KC11. But they had a very different effect.

"Why, thank you. I rather forgot to drink my thunderstorm tea this morning."

Lightning dragons have to eat lightning, or elements of it, in order to activate the power that gives them their name.

KC11 breathed in, then breathed out a blast of lightning at addman.

[addman]

The bolt hit him squarely as he stood there, gobsmacked that the dragon was impervious to his attack. The sheer force, localised entirely on his left nipple (which gave it more than a slight tingle), sent him flying backwards several yards, and back into the tall grass.

Laying on his side, blinding pain was going through his entire body as he attempted to shake the effects of the blast and regain his motor skills.

Deciding that plasma was probably the best way to go, he used what strength he had left to take out his rifle and begin to load the plasma cartridge back into it, hoping that the tall grass would conceal him long enough to get the job done.

[KC11]

KC11 sniffed around, searching for addman. She was a bit tired now, for some reason. Perhapes using her power drained some of her energy. Ah well, no matter for a shapeshifter in battle.

She turned into a flea, and rested on a nearby plant, hoping that no one would step on her before she regained her energy.

[addman]

Once he'd switched back to his plasma cartridge, Addman scrambled to his feet. He was still a little unsteady, but gradually, his mind and body were grinding back up to a decent pace.

He lifted up his rifle and pointed it at the flaming clearing where the dragon was previously flying around. To his surprise, it seemed to have vanished into thin air. Assuming his opponent had resumed her human form, he began to pace forwards, getting a little closer to the spreading flames which gradually were engulfing the forest.

"Come out and fight. Enough of these cowardly tactics!"

He was starting to get more and more angry the more he searched the area.

[KC11]

KC heard addman yelling, and gave the best smirk a flea could give. She decided to use the element of surprise again. She jumped up and began changing into her dragon form, soring up silently. She was soon several yards over addman's head. She rose, opened her mouth wide, and dove.

[addman]

"Dammit, you are the most cowardly opponent I've ever faced in my life! Come out! And no more of these stupid tricks!"

KC was really starting to annoy him. Scanning the area, Addman could not see any sign that she was nearby. A smouldering tree stump to his left reminded him that he needed to stay alert, or else end up with a similar fate.

Looking left to right, he began to feel frustrated. Where on earth could she have gone? It was only a second later, he realised that the area where was standing had suddenly become a whole lot darker. Turning around to see what had blocked out the light, Addman saw KC hovering behind him, her large, scaled frame casting him into shadow. He noticed her begin to open her mouth and knew exactly what she was about to do next.

He used his left arm to sheild his face as he ran directly underneath her, just as a barrage of piping hot flames flew out. He could feel the searing on heat on his back, and that was even when he'd avoided the actual flames themselves. He took a few more steps underneath his opponent, aimed his rifle upwards, and pulled the trigger, releasing many rounds towards her stomach.
