The Battle:
The object of this game is not to win, but it is to make the characters you create battle with or against characters invented by the other posters. When introducing your character, give a brief description of their abilities, as defined within the following rules:


The Random:
Well, there really are no rules, yet somehow, the Random Battle seems to work. Just make it up as you go, and try to keep it fair and just and whatnot. Also, do not decide what happens to other characters, even as a result of your own actions. Leave that up to the character's owner. And don't do too much in any given span of time, which means don't attack people who haven't posted responses for their characters.


Remember: The object of the game is not to win the battle, just to do the Battle.


Multiple Characters: If you want more than one character in the Random Battle, try to make your characters fight each other so that there is roughly the same level of power on each side of the Battle. (So, don't create an army of 50 000 Apocalypse Machines, unless these machines will be fighting amongst each other. This keeps them from turning the tide of battle. Turning the tide makes the battle end. Ending invokes Nothingness. Nothingness invokes boredom. So, do not turn the tide without allowing balance to quickly be restored.)


As for the rest, let's just make it up as we go.

----------------

To begin, Lord Toran is a Level 241 Fire Mage, a Level 117 Water Mage, and a Level 44 Light Mage. He can absorb fire and lightning and is immune to any harmful effects of water and ice. Physically, he's got average dexterity and low strength and constitution.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

Next up, there's Valkyrie Gabe. She is a level 562 Warrior Mage that has Flying and can summon any weapon she chooses. She has high strength, defence, agility and constitution, but she sometimes gets carried away.

[Keen]

Also, feel free to start fighting on your first post. I couldn't because there were no enemies. And this Valkyrie Gabe seems to be a good guy, so....

----------------

Army of 500 Apocalypse Machines: Each machine is armed with a Level 12 Pulse Cannon of one of the following types: Sonic, Radiant, Plasmatic, and Freezy-Breezy. Each machine has level 10 Alloy Armor, and Level 15 Gravitic Hover, which is the Machine's only means of motion and turning. Their armor gives the Apocalypse Machines a strong defense against physical and fire attacks, and since they hover, they are immune to low-level, ground-based attacks, but are vulnerable to wind-based attacks. As machines they are vulnerable to lightning, water, or ice attacks. Any attack which is at a level significantly higher than their own, however, should be able to pierce their armor.

The 500 Apocalypse Machines aim their Pulse Cannons at Lord Toran and at Valkyrie Gabe, about 250 barrels on each of them. The Machines fire.

----------------

Lord Toran may make several actions to respond to the Machines because they're bulky and slow. Toran casts Level 60 Strengthen and Level 60 Balance on himself, raising his physical abilities significantly. He uses his improved strength and agility to leap high into the air, avoiding the Machines' attacks. While in the air, he casts Level 60 Lightning on the Machine Army. When struck with the forking bolts, 134 of the Machines burst and 52 more suffer damage. 314 Machines remain unharmed.

[SL the Pyro]

Dark Link: My character. He can do everything Link can do, blus turning into a shadow, making Giabt Bombs, and making shades of himself; the shades are weaker than the original, and will vanish if the real Dark Link is attacked successfully.

Poppy Bros. Jr. and Sr.: They can kick hard, wield huge boomerangs, and throw bombs like they are going out of style; sometimes they'll throw a big bomb that can nuke half a city (as powerful as a Giant Bomb, but only 1/4 of the size). They have no arms that can be attacked or grabbed, but their hands and bodies move around as if they do. They usually fight together as a team, and though Poppy Sr. is stronger (better kicks and bigger boomerang, but not better bombs) than his little brother, he is also slower.

---------------

Poppy Sr. lets loose on the robots with kicks and his boomerang, while Poppy Jr. starts pelting the robots with bombs. Dark Link draws his sword and charges and Lord Toran.

(I might introduce Z later. Pray that I don't...)

[Gabe Puratekuta]

V.Gabe summons her level 70 Double Rapier and rushes at the army. At least 10 of them explode once she's finished. She then wails on a few more(Sword Kirby-style ) and shoots feathers at the rest, which explode on contact. Afterwards, she performs the Kaze no Kizu to finish 100 more

200 machines remain

[Keen]

If you like, you could also make new characters arrive dramatically, but that's purely your own choice.
----------------
The remaining 200 Apocalypse Machines scavenge parts from their defeated comrades, arming another 100 Pulse Cannons and adding armor to 50 of the remaining Machines, making those few harder to kill. Then, seeing that Lord Toran is busy, they fire all 300 Cannons at V. Gabe.
----------------
Lord Toran, still in the air from the previous turn, casts Level 30 Ice Form and creates a bo staff out of ice. Just as he lands, he casts Level 60 Lightning Charge on the staff, adding lightning damage to its next 7 attacks and blocks. He stands in a defensive pose, prepared to counter Dark Link.

Edited by Lord Toran, 26 October 2006 - 12:39 PM.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

Creating a light barrier, V.Gabe deflects the machines' attacks while switching to her level 84 Whip sword. She then continues to attack 20 more without stopping. As those ones explode, she goes after 20 more. Then she splits into 10 and attacks more from all sides


150 machines remain

[Keen]

The remaining Machines scavenge more parts, arming 250 Pulse Cannons. 75 now have doubled Alloy Armor. 250 Pulse Cannons are aimed at V. Gabe. Adapting to her defenses, the Machines fire a harmonically syncronized, shield-piercing volley.

Edited by Lord Toran, 26 October 2006 - 01:02 PM.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

Deciding to do nothing, V.Gabe lets the attacks hit. They do, but they don't even scratch her bikini-armor. She then lets out more exploding feathers, this time they go straight for their cannons. After those are destroyed, she swoops down and wails on more machines.



54 machines remain

[SL the Pyro]

The Poppy Bros, frustrated with fighting all of these machines, decide to take out a big bomb and eliminate the 54 that remain.

---------------

Dark Link pretends to slash LT, but uses a feint attack and aims a kick to his head instead.

[Keen]

Realizing that the Poppy Bros. appear to be deciding to kill them all, 25 of the remaining 54 Machines begin a Japanese-style uninterruptible transformation sequence. The other 29 protect them.
----------------
Toran's ice staff blocks Dark Link's sword, and the staff sends a lightning attack into the blade. Noticing that Dark Link's power is not in the sword stroke, Toran leaps backward. The kick still hits him, but his attempted evasion slightly reduces the damage taken.

Edited by Lord Toran, 26 October 2006 - 01:56 PM.

[SL the Pyro]

"Oh, please..." Dark Link says. He begins to build energy into his sword as well, appearing to be trying to cancel out the lightning. He takes damage from it, but ignores the pain and goes into a spin attack at close range.

---------------

The Poppy Bros. laugh at the robots pathetic attempt at a defensive move. They throw the big bomb right into the middle of the robots, and it explodes with deadly force.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

V.Gabe sees that the transforming machines are becoming none other than the Keesi III, she summons her level 481 Partisan and flies straight for the monstrous aircraft. She then performs her Kaze no Kizu again, destroying one wing

[Keen]

Episode 14: The Machines Speak!
Machines: "Oh, no!! V. Gabe's hallucinating, and The Poppy Bros. are incinerating! Us!!!" The 29 defenders explode, but the 25 transforming Machines turn into Apokalon, who is not affiliated with or owned by any creative entity because his creation required no creativity!
(Sorry about the hallucination, but you just can't turn my robots into whatever you want. Get your own robots! Wah! (Kidding. (Unless you do want your own robots, then by all means....)))
----------------
Toran uses Level 402 Telekinesis to simply hold the ice staff vertically, blocking the spin attack and zapping Dark Link each time he strikes it, for upto six charges.

Edited by Lord Toran, 26 October 2006 - 02:09 PM.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

There was fire in her eyes this time. "That was a dirty trick!!" She hen summoned her level 51 Light Crossbow and shot a few energy arrows at Apokalon

[SL the Pyro]

Poppr Sr.: "I've got things wrapped up here. Go for Gabe!"

Poppy Jr: *nods and throws a bomb Gabe's way*

Dark Link (Is still doing the spin attack, LT...)

[Keen]

Two arrows strike Apokalon in his metal chest and there they stick, but he seems otherwise unphased. He levels his Level 347 Arm Pulse Cannon at V. Gabe. The Cannon begins to charge, visibly and audibly.
----------------
Since Dark Link won't finish spinning, Toran stands safely behind the floating ice staff and casts Level 38 Gentle Spirit, summoning an entity of type spirit, that is helpful for defensive purposes. The Gentle Spirit meditates, while Lord Toran hesitates, uncertain of how to strike Dark Link without ripping through his own defenses. While he's mulling his options over, Lord Toran's Strength and Dexterity enhancement's wear off, and he slumps under the sudden return of his physical frailty.

[SL the Pyro]

Poppy Sr. sees the cannon charging up; with that kind of power, the explosion would not only destroy Gabe, but him as well. After thinking a little, he simply throws a nova bomb (that's what I'm gonna call their big bombs now) into the cannon.

---------------

Dark Link's spin attack wears off, although now he wonders where Lord Toran went. He looks around and sees something glowing from behind a rock. He smiles upon realizing that it is the Gentle Spirit. He throws a couple of bombs at the rock, some in an upwards angle so they'll land behind the rock where Lord Toran is.

[Keen]

Apokalon fires a Freezy-Breezy Beam from the Arm-Mounted Pulse Cannon. The blast freezes the bomb as well as the landscape, as it passes on its way to strike Valkyrie Gabe and the Poppy Bros.
----------------
Toran ignores the bombs since he's a fire elemental, and the Spirit has no physical presence (It cannot be affected by normal attacks, but it also cannot make any attacks). Lord Toran casts Level 11 White Blaze, hurling a beam of light and fire at Dark Link. Dark Link's bombs explode, damaging Toran with shrapnel, but healing him with fire, for no net effect.

Edited by Lord Toran, 27 October 2006 - 01:44 PM.

[SL the Pyro]

"Heads up, li'l bro!" Shouts Poppy Sr. They jump to avoid being frozen along with the ground.

---------------

Dark Link warps into the dark world (turns into a shadow) to avoid the white fire as well as the ice. He waves at Lord Toran to infuriate him, knowing that he can't reach him in his own little dimension.

[Keen]

Apokalon must rest after firing his primary Cannon.
----------------
Toran growls at the shadow, "I'm a master of the darkness, but only if my temper flares enough!" He sighs. "Of course, I'm not really mad yet, so I can't do much except...." Toran fades into the Light World.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

V.Gabe waits for the beam to get close enough before she deflects it with her hand.
"Foolish move."
There was a bright flash and V.Gabe turned into a level 823 Holy Dragon. It blasts Apokalon with a light fire from it's mouth.

[Keen]

Apokalon speaks his final words, "No, I don't like to standses the fireses!!! Oooooooog!!!!" Then he explodes.

K.O.!!!

----------------

Lord Toran watches the pretty colors for a moment, as the ignited Alloy Armor bursts and the brightly lit chunks fly through the air.

[SL the Pyro]

Toran growls at the shadow, "I'm a master of the darkness, but only if my temper flares enough!" He sighs. "Of course, I'm not really mad yet, so I can't do much except...." Toran fades into the Light World.

(You're already IN the light world, LT.)

Dark Link jumps out from the Dark World and attacks LT with his hammer.

---------------

The Poppy Bros. land, and since they have no one else free to battle, they gang up on Gabe.

[Keen]

"Nope, I was in the World of Balance, where you are now." Lord Toran leaps into the World of Balance and flings three ice daggers at Dark Link while the hammer is still in the air.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

The dragon swings it's mighty tail and knocks the Poppy Bros. back into a far-off wall

[SL the Pyro]

The ice daggers fly into Dark Link's chest, but he suddenly explodes in a puff of purple smoke! Another Dark Link comes out of the dark world from behind Lord Toran, shouts "Surprise!" and picks up where his shadow clone left off; bashing Lord Toran with his hammer.

---------------

The Poppy Bros. make indents in the wall due to the dragon's forceful attack. They pull themselves out of the wall and start tossing a LOT of bombs at the Gabe Dragon.

[Keen]

Dark Link's hammer crashes into Lord Toran's skull, and the mage falls to the ground in a bloody heap.

----------------
Is this the end
of Lord Toran?
tune in later
to find out!
----------------

[Gabe Puratekuta]

The dragon roared. The two bomb-throwing Kirby enemies were really annoying it. The bombs were then intercepted by white fire which didn't stop in it's course to the Poppy Bros.

[SL the Pyro]

Dark Link just sits there, bored. (WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!!!)

---------------

The Poppy Bros. try jumping over the fire, but Poppy Jr. gets hit. He explodes Kirby-enemy style. (They regenerate at their home, which obviously I call the Bomb Shop.) Poppy Sr. loses it upon the demise of his brother and tosses a bunch of nova bombs at Gabe.
