Ballista III

“Do we take five steps, turn around and nuke each other?” Rooghan said to Drakkonis. “Your call, Lastokian.” He smirked. Jugner Forest was empty tonight, not many passerby’s wandered through. It was time, the moment they have been waiting days for, time to Ballista. “Your ass is mine.” Justcartilage stared at Tonerith. “Time for a roll call.” Stella said, clearing her voice. “When you hear your name, step to your side.” “Representing San’D’Oria. Drakkonis, Stellaluna, Bigby, Elvane, Volarion, Undyingsoul, Justcartilage, Xchelly, Khomet, Littletazman, Mrslittletazman, Biofao, Fico, Farozan, Rogue, Twylight, Auronffx, Jak and Xantoro.” Stella announced and her troops took their place behind her. “Go Asstok.” Drakk said with a laugh as Tone took the stage, “Representing Bastok.” “Tonerith, Rooghan, Scorpionsys, Rikio, Tashihyu, Falkinn, Sturyko, Links, Suprememogwai, Unrealdjj, Drtran, Pwninator, Challenger, Fantazye, Kairos, Kinnette, Bluegirl, Battosai and Riquelme. And when there names were called, they stepped behind the Beastmaster. “Rules.” Stella said as she looked at Tone. “If someone is knocked unconscious, it is up to their own country to Raise them, we will not spare any Raises.” “Sorry Tone.” Chell had to have a laugh, she has raised Tone more than she did her husband. “Keep the fight clean, and may the better country win.” Stella continued. “But most importantly…” “Leave your anger and hatred here, after tonight I want no more fighting in our shell. It is making me irate.” “Agreed?” Everyone shook their head in unison. With that Stella turned away and her troops sat on the other side of the forest awaiting the cue to start. Sweat dripped off of her forehead, she was nervous. She really pondered what good would this do, but she was angry and upset so she was all for it. “We have the White Mages.” Soul did a triumphant cry. Stu loaded his bow with arrows, he sat behind the tree, his aim across the battlefield, waiting to slow down anyone who had advanced onto his position. “Hey you, want a job, help me out.” Tone laid out some seedbed soil and a funguar came to his side. He peered across the forest at everyone, all his friends, and now all his enemies. “I’m saving Hundred Fists for you.” Just pointed at him as he yelled. Tone cringed a little, he imagine being on the other end of that onslaught. Vol casts Cocoon. He stared at his brother, a little satisfaction in his face. Everyone who could have used shadows cast them immediately. Soul sat atop the hill, his aim was dead set, the minute the gun fired for them to start, Bastok would have one person being filled with arrows. Bluegirl had CourrieCarrie come to her side and she hugged him, and wished him good luck. The White Mages all Reraised themselves. Pwn’s axes shook in his hands. “Tone, let’s see how a lolblm does.” Khom jeered from his position. “I hope you like being asleep.” Roo nodded his head to Tone, hopefully what those two had planned will work. Pwn heard a soft and enticing melody being played in the background and he turned to smile at Riq. With his Katana in his hand, Chall looked up at the opposing forces for the first time, he wasn’t sure if he was ready for this.

Pop! They heard the gun sound off and that’s when they took off. Just took the liberty of going after the fungus that came from behind him trying to attack. As he laid his fist into it, a pain in his back causes him to stop. Tone had his axe swinging without a care, and when Just turned to punch him, he blocked it with his shield. The funguar kicked at his legs, and that’s when he turned to see it run off, chasing the Ranger who fired upon it. “Over Here!” Stella yelled as she Provoked Tone, who had no choice but to do a fight with her. He ordered his pet to attack, but it wasn’t in range to hear his words. Stella swung her sword and it cut him on the hand, he tried to block her next one and it hit him in the wrist. He screamed as the pain shot through his body. Just tried to add a punch in but a crossbow bolt struck him in the leg and his vision became blurred. Falk sighed as she bought Tone just enough time to recover and focus on Stella. Stu moved from behind the tree, he fired an arrow rapidly into the distance and took cover as one shot by him, barely missing him. Soul looked up from the rock he was taking cover behind, and fire another arrow blindly towards Stu. Pwn had laid an axe into Stella’s back, turning her attention to him, he ducked her angry swing and then his eyes shut on his as Drakk put him to sleep. “Roo.” Stella cried as she noticed the grin on Rooghans face. As a cold gust swept through the area as Blizzaga II was cast. It took its effect and Stella and Drakk took a knee, and Pwn bowed to Roo. Chell looked to her side nervously, she was standing next to Faro and Twy. They knew they were a target, but they just didn’t know when. They had Bigby watching from a distance, looking out for them if anyone came near. “Shit.” He swore and caused them to scramble as the crab broke its way through. He fired his bolts at it, but he kept missing. He took his aim, and took a breath and fired it again, this time it bounced off of its shell and it turned to attack him. “Stupid BST.” He said as he readied to slaughter this crab. “Stupid THF” Blue said as she cut Big across the wrist with her axe. He cursed and turned away from her, he dropped to his knee. “Blue.” He began to plead. “I don’t want to fight you, it’s nothing personal.” He said with his back turned to her. “We’ve been too good of friends for this.” She put her axe on its holster. “You’re right, friendly truce?” she asked as she extended her arm to help him up. A crossbow bolt flew through her neck and she gasped for air. “Stupid BST.” He said again as he got up and used Flee, taking off full speed across the area. “Damn that was evil.” He laughed to himself. Rogue took her stand by the tree, and for some reason, she ducked. Chall’s Katana became lodged into the wood, and he tried to pull it out but it was jammed in there too deep. She took out her club and beat him over the head with it repeatedly, taking advantage of his mistake. The wind kicked up all around Tone, and he wondered why. He looked around and that’s when he saw him. Khomet was conjuring up a Tornado. “Doc, Roo!” He shouted as Doc stunned Khom’s Ancient Magic. “Shit bro.” Doc cried out to Tone as a warning, Littletazman began casting Burst II. Tone sprinted out of range and prayed that the Taru didn’t get enough concentration to fry him to a crisp. His feet picked up speed before he felt a pain in his abdomen. “Going somewhere?” he stared up at Justcartilage. “I’ve been waiting for this.” Just used Hundred Fist. Blow after blow sunk into Tone’s body, shattering bones as his fist rapidly beat him to a pulp, he continued until he pummeled Tone onto the ground, and even then his onslaught continued. Tone looked into his eyes as a burst of lightning struck from the heavens sucking out his last breath. Liltazzy jumped for joy near Khomet, and their plan had worked. Just nodded to them and walked off to find someone else to rape. “Shit.” Falk scanned the battlefield to find Tone unconscious.

As Kairos drew near, Khom smirked as he began casting Flare II. He laughed, but he tried not to do it too hard that he breaks his concentration, he knew for a fact that Kair couldn’t survive this, he was too weak. Claws ripped him apart and broke his focus on his spell, when he finished his recoil he turned to face Rikio. She pointed her Ifrits Blade at him, and then she stabbed him. Pwn had stood atop Drakkonis, and let his axes come crashing down to the earth. Drakk couldn’t get out of the way, he was defeated. A Red Mage was no match for a Warrior in a head to head fight, but Drakk wouldn’t turn away. Chell rushed over to him, and backed away as Pwn stared at her, daring her to bring him back. He equipped his axes and glared into her eyes. “Soul.” She shouted, as Pwn ran towards her he tripped. Bigby dashed through in the blink of an eye and used his daggers to cut down the limbs of his bigger foe. “The bigger they are, the dumber they fall.” He had a laugh. “The smaller they are, the eviler they become.” Blue said as she turned to face Big. Fico and Batt were battling it out, Fico was stronger by chance, but Batt could take the hits. Batt was wearing Fico out before Vol interrupted. His Mandilur Bite annoyed Batt, but nothing he could do but try to hold his own against the two. “Stop!” Auron screamed as he ran towards his friend. Fico and Vol halted their attacks. “It’s time you face me.” He unsheathed his sword and challenged his friend. Fant did her job of curing Batt as best as she could, with the extra help. He provoked Auron and used Berserk. Fico decided to let the friends battle it out. Chell’s Raise was broken midcast as an arrow whizzed past her face, causing her to jump and break. “That’s my fucking wife.” Soul yelled from his hiding spot, he fired another arrow towards Stu. “I don’t care mate, she try to raise him again and my next one won’t miss.” Stu yelled, his hiding tree was full of Soul’s arrows, most of which he took and fired back at him. They both had their own pain, Stu had hit Soul in his shoulder when he popped his head up too fast, and Soul had caught Stu in the leg. “Chell, go somewhere.” Soul had to call her off, he wasn’t taking the risk of calling Stu’s bluff. As Roo tried to Raise Tone, he was stunned. Bio wouldn’t allow that to happen. He laughed at the Taru. And at the same time, they both started casting Flood. They sat there, challenging each other, they will see who was the strongest soon enough. Just laid his fist in Unreal, pounding into he was hit with a sedative. Falk once again bout someone some time to live as her sleep bolt knocked Just out like a light. Unreal tapped Just on the shoulder. Unreal used Mijin-Gakure. An inferno burned through Just’s body, he was down, but he wasn’t out. Vol crept up behind the Black Mages, a smile spread on his face as Tashihyu and Drtran didn’t hear him arrive. “Long Live SANDY.” Vol shouted as he emerged in front of them and then used Self-Destruct. From his weakened spot on the ground, he smiled to himself. Even their Stoneskin couldn’t fully protect them from that surprise attack. Tash sprawled on the ground, she leaned over to Doc and he was still up and kicking also, he was just hurt. Supreme let her blade hack into the weakened Vol, he took his defeat with pride.
