Okel dokel!

The mountain stood like a mammoth moss-covered gravestone amongst a mist-shrouded, cemetery-like mountain range. This particular mountain didn't have very many inhabitable areas, and therefore very little inhabitants. The only humans living there were a small order of monks in a monastery on the south mountainside.

Within that monastery was a German. His name was Johannes Engelbrecht.

He was had been sitting with the monks meditating for about 7 hours now. His extremely aged face was calm and expressionless as he flew through his mind.

He was not wearing the usual monkish clothing uring his stay here; he was wearing his usual stuff. Which is some pretty unusual stuff under any circumstances anyway. It was a trenchcoat with a profuse amount of pockets covering his large and muscular body. His crossed legs were housed in a pair of dark brown pocketless pants, and his feet in old leather boots. A 6-foot long sheathed sword lay at his side.

Now, was what was recurring in his mind. Now, now, all of NOW! NOTHING BUT NOW! For that was what he was feeling: NOW. Everything, from the smallest atomic movement to the largest cosmic explosion; Johannes was experiencing all of it at once; The entire Universe was coursing through his being and vice-verce. Ah! Hey! The electrons in that atom of oxygen in front of me just spun. I see that the grass outside grew a nanometer in the last second. A leaf on a tree on the other side of the mountain just fell off. Somewhere in Alpha Centauri a sun has exploded. And...somebody has just approached the monastery. Johannes could sense something in that person's mind. He sensed a feeling he had felt himself many times before; the urge to battle. This sensation suddenly distracted him from his infinite cosmic awareness. The urge was growing strong, and now it was growing in Johannes. His Viking Madman within was awakening. He could not stop himself. He knew he had to battle now. He suddenly grabbed the overlong sword, leapt out of the meditation room and smashed through the door.

The monks were too deep in meditation to bother with him.

Johannes burst outside into the misty outdoors, his eyes ablaze. He found his opponent about 20 feet to his left, but his view was obscured by the mist. Who is that?....

Then suddenly the sillouette started moving his arm around as if he was swinging something around .
Then suddenly there were hundreds more of them.
There was suddenly a huge gust of wind the man was digging his heels into thje ground to keep himself from blowing away.

The fog was gone now and the sun was exposed as he saw that there were hundreds of aviens all in front of him flapping their wings to create a giant gust of wind.
He saw also that the aviens were multiplying in numbers.

Then they stopped.
The man could hear a voice saying,"Hello,I'm V V ,and I'll be fighting you today."

Then the army of the avians rushed at him .

Johannes' first reaction was narrowing his eyes in anger at the total cheapness of the move. His second reaction was a malicious grin. In his career as a pirate and warrior, he had taken down entire ships of men singlehandedly. He had taken down entire troops singlehandedly. even though this was about 300 superhuman beings. he didn't care, though, for his berserker rage was beginning to blaze. Yes, the frenzy was building within, and exploded into a roaring blaze as he began his attack.

He slid the overlong broadsword out of its sheath, and jumped over the first line of warriors. He started spinning around, slashing down everybody in the 6 or 7 foot radius. That's a good 20-something down.

Then they all, strangely synchronized, pulled out what appeared to be crossbows with glowing arrows. actually, arrows made of light. All were pointed at him. This would be easy to divert. He pulled out a small double-sided hand mirror from his coat.

All fired, and an incredible stream of light blazed towards Johannes. He ducked and held the mirror up in place of where the arrows' target would have been.
All the arrows reached the mirror, and all of them reflected off the mirror, and nearly all of them hit at least one of the Avian clones. The arrows sliced through their faces, arms, and chests. about 100 were fatally and ironically wounded.

There was still over half of the army to deal with, but they were no longer in a coherent formation, and many of their movements were hindered by the bodies. Or would have been, if they hadn't decided to fly at a supersonic speed towards Johannes with red swords pointed at his body.

Most people wouldn't have been able to react swiftly enough to save themselves in a situation like this. but Johannes' reflexes did not act over time. they acted right now. and they were fast enough for him to pull out around 10 grenades from his pockets, set them off, and put them in the paths of the flyers. That's another good 50 gone, as he ran out from uner the other 130 still in the air. Before the V V Clones could follow, Johannes was lobbing grenades and dynamite at them faster than they could react. many were consumed in flame, and those that weren't were slowed down. slowed down enough for Johannes to press a black pearl on his broadsword's hilt, dividing it into two, and then dived through the fire and stabbed through many of the soldiers. The fires were still burning long after the explosions, fueled by the grasses and the clones' fallen bodies. their feathers were apparently highly flammable. Johannes continued to slash, leaping through the fires,and picking off the confused soldiers. That took care of the rest. except one.

That one was apparently the original, frantically spinning a key around. Johannes realized this key was what had created the army. So he promptly grabbed the key out of V V's hands and stabbed him in the eye with it. He then proceeded to punch him off of the mountainside.

[ooc]Sorry for taking so long,just wanted to get it right. [/ooc]

Ah,but this was not the original,this was another clone.Johannes then heard a voice echoing all around him.It was VV's voice.
VV:I knew I should've fixed that flammable problem with those clones,oh well at least MY armor absorbs flames that get too close.

V V appeared 19.5 ft. behind Johannes ,facing the opposite direction.
With a mighty swing of the now 20 ft. long, 3 ft. wide avian flametongue he turned 345 degrees slashing at Johannes,and then disapeared again.

He reappeared about 126 ft. in front of Johannes,the flametongue now back to normal size.
Johannes didn't even see or hear him he was so fast.

Johannes didn't even know that he was hit yet.
He leered at VV then let out a yell as he was about to rush towards VV.
V V chuckled.
Just as Johannes was taking his first step he felt the seering pain of the wound,it was burning.
He felt the flesh of his back and the back of his biceps slowly tearing open as the wound started catching up with the attack itself.
He felt his spine being sliced up.He could barely move his legs and arms now because of his nearly fatal wound.
He gave out a yell.
Not out of pain,at least physical pain anyway,but from not being able to get to his foe,and how angry he was.

Then suddenly his wounds burst into flames.
"It's not called a flametongue for nothing," VV sneered.

Johannes felt his flesh melting and smelled burning flesh as the fire kept growing.
He felt his spinal cord being burnt by the flames.
His entire spine was burning now,because the flame had o[ened up his entire back.
Which in turn sent shocks of pain litterally through his entire body.


V V:Heh heh.At least it won't get infected,at least while your on fire.

Johannes was now on his knees gritting his teeth from the pain,even HE couldn't take too much.

V V: Let's finish this.

He then disappeared again.
Then suddenly Johannes was surrounded by five V Vs.
They weren't clones V V was just moving in a circle at high speed.
One came at him from the front about to slice his head off ...then just as the blade was about to hit the illusion disappeared.
All of the did the same in every direction.
Save for one which then spun around three times and was about to deliver the final blow to johannes' back.
When Johannes yelled out,"ENOUGH!",turned around grabbed VV's flametongue in one hand and VV in the other.
"Heh heh.HA HA HA HA!"He laughed hardily.

But then his laughter stopped as VV began chuckling ,then laughing.
Johannes didn't understand.
Johannes:Why do you laugh!?

He then understood as he now heard a sizzling noise.

He realized that the flames had reached his explosives .
VV disappeared from Johannes' grasp.

Johannes felt an incredible pain in his back.
And then another...then another,and another.
He turned to see another VV ,undoubtedly the real one.
He noticed that it was holding Some dynamite sticks.
He then knew what his enemy had done.
The four sticks were now deeply embedded into his wounds.
He tossed the clone he was holding away like trash.It flew a few hundred feet away and landed heavily.
He turned and grabbed VV and was now choking him .
Choking him to the point of death.

He then heard a rustling noise behind him.
He looked in the direction of the clone that he had tossed,and saw that it was flying away.
He knew that what he just killed was not in fact VV,but a clone that was left after Johannes' attack.

VV was already 458 yards away when he heard the large explosion he was expecting.
He then landed on a nearby boulder,and looked to see the giant fireball that came from set explosion.
As he looked his face was covered with a look of satisfaction.
He then proceeded to walk away,because he felt no need to rush on his way.

OoC: Wait, what? I killed every single one of your clones and got rid of your key. Where did that clone come from?

<<<<<<>>>>>>

When you're smug you don't really pay attention to what's going on. Until you get an unnaturally wide and deep stab wound in your back, as V V just did. He turned around in surprise, and saw Johannes, his back covered in molten metal. Apparently the lead from his jacket had melted over his back. V was about to simply attack again with the flametongue, but Johannes, faster than V V remembered him being, ripped it out of his grasp and crushed it in his palm. Before V could react again, black thorned wires shot out of the Maschinesabel, encasing him in a web of metal and spikes; and was forced to listen to Johannes rant:

"Do you even bother to pay attention to how your opponent fights, or do you just slash blindly at whatever you're facing?" V V tried to escape, but more wires were shooting out faster than he could break them. "I was able to throw grenades at objects going over the speed of sound. I sensed your presence without even looking outside." V was wriggling out now. "I've sunk entire fleets of ships using nothing but my bare hands. I've been attacked by swords twice as sharp as yours without feeling anything. And I can take-" he paused, flexing his covered-in-metal back, "-a little pain."

By now V had finally broken free of the wires, and screeched straight towards Johannes, his armblades aimed for his face. Johannes could have very well dodged him, but instead grabbed him by the arms, and was taken up into the air with him.

In the air, V saw Johannes hanging on with one hand and investigating his equipment with another.
"..Whip? Cool, I could use that, think I'll take it..." He put V's whip in his coat. "...Glowing Crossbow?..nah..." He broke the crossbow in half and threw it away."...Projector..thing? Fascinating, I'll look at it later--" His scientific investigations were stopped by V noticing and dropping him, his great weight rapidly falling down thousands of feet.

Man, he's not gonna survive that... V thought, and chuckled at his opponent's foolishness. He drifted down, slightly smug and slightly wary at the same time. He saw the shape of Johannes vanish into a small forest full of gargantuan trees down in the valley.

V flew down, ready to see a huge blob of a broken body where Johannes had vanished. He didn't. He saw a giant tree that had been broken in half. Apparently, Johannes had been able to grab onto one of the trees to break his fall. Even though he broke the tree, he was probably relatively safe.

V V saw nobody around him, until he found a cord tied around his neck. In fact, it was his own whip, and Johannes had tied it tightly around his neck, nearly strangling him. V could feel himself losing oxygen fast as he turned around and saw Johannes there. That was the last thing he saw, for Johannes took two daggers and sent them straight into V's eyes.

[OOC]

Sorry for taking so long,I \'ve always sucked at timing.
I found time and worked on this litterally all night and well into the morning,so if I have a lot of typo's near the end,then that's why.


[quote="vapor]OoC: Wait"]
Every clone has identical armor and equipment.

V V quite simply bended light to make him unseeable for a moment,got out of the way,and had one of his clones stand in for him,while Johannes was distracted with the small army of clones.He knew that johannes would have still noticed him get away if he hadn't been invisible.That's the how and why.
[/OOC]
<<<<<|>>>>>


VV was in pain.Excruciating pain.
Not only pain from the two daggers that were stuck in his eyes,or the fact that he was being choked to death,but from humiliation.
The humiliation that came from being killed from his weapon.

He was losing oxygen fast.
Becoming more and more disoriented with each bit of a breath he could spare.
He was so disoriented so much that he didn't even realise at the time that he could still see from his right eye,the dagger had only just missed his actual eyeball.
He didn't care much though.
He didn't even care much that he was about to die.
He was more concerned with the fact that he had been so cocky beforehand,and had made the knuckleheaded mistake of thinking that he had beaten his opponent as easily as tossing him aside.
The mistake of not thinking up a better strategy before hand.

But it didn't matter much now though,nothing really mattered much now...
His eyes were beginning to feel heavier and heavier,as he began to breathe in the ethers of death.The sound of his opponent yelling and ranting on began to fall back into the distance.
And became not but a faint whisper echoing in the background of the dark world VV had now entered..

In the blackness of this great abyss, he heard a voice...A familiar voice...A voice of a fallen comrade...The voice said,"So you're just gonna quit now huh,".
VV What!?
????:Figures.You were always the quitting type.
...
I mean seriously. All that work,and for what?Nothing,that's right nothing.
.....
C'mon VeeVee get up .Don't be a loser like Myguell.
Just remember what I told you,"whether you be the fisherman or the fish,you need to know how to treat the line.Because if you treat the line right you'll be able ta get away in order to fish another day," heheh heh heh. *sigh*

VV: ??
????:Well you get the point.

With that V V felt a stinging sensation run acrooss his face .As if he were being slapped.
Then again, and again.getting more painful with each blow.

????:Go get'em V.

He was then rushed back to his previous predicament.

VV was on his knees.
He tried his best to look up with his one good eye .This was considerably challenging considering the daggers were still in his eye sockets.
Anyway,once he looked up,all he could see was the hulking figure that was Johannes,about to strike him again with VV's own whip.
Johannes proceeded to snap VV on the face for whatseemed to VV, the fourth time while saying.

Johannes: Wake up you ! I'm not done watching you suffer.

He had apparently figured out how to use the whip.
It also occured to VV that the pain of the previous blows must've been muffled by his earlier disorientation.
Because,now he could fell the incredible sting that jormanger leaves on it's victims.
It was easier for him to tell this because it has it's own classification of pain,of which VV had felt many times before during his training.This added to his other wounds would've probably made most Aviens(race) Cry out so loud in pain that they would've killed themselves...But he wasn't like most Aviens..

Johannes:Ah! You're awake.Good.Back to the entertainment portion.

He was comletely mad...The berserker inside was probably in full control by now.
But VV wasn't sure.

Just then VV found himself back in the deathgrip of Jormanger.
The blood being squeezed out of his him like tothpaste.
Gushing out.Rolling down his face in big glops.
VV was about to give out again,when he remembered the utterly terrible metaphor that he had heard earlier,
"whether you be the fisherman or the fish,you need to know how to treat the line.Because if you treat the line right you'll be able ta get away in order to fish another day,"...

Then VV remembered a peculiar feature about his whip.
VV Reached up as quickly as he could (considering the loss of oxygen) and stroked the spine on a special imprint of the whip after dabbing his finger in his own blood.

Just then the handle of the whip had "grown" a metalic snake head.
The positioning made it seem like the "gaurd" of a sword's hilt.
The snake head then proceeded to clamp down onto Johannes' hand just enough to pierce his skin with the tipsof the fangs .
Itlasted only about 1/2 seconds long in order to inject him with a very special poison.It would begin to attack different parts of the body in a random order.It could be amplified by heat as well.A half a second is hardly enough time to inject a sufficient enough amount of poison to kill this very large man,but enough to at least slow him down,and injure him...Hopefully.

Fortunately,this short amount of time also kept Johannes from noticing the injection,because just as it finished it forced it's way as far as it could throu his thick skinned thick hands.
Johannes was quite surprised by this,but next he was in for a real "shocker".
The whip then loosened it' grip on VV,twisted around,and bound up Johannes starting at the arm then evntually found it's way around his entire body.
After this Jormanger found Johannes earlier wound on his back.
The end then stabbed it directly in the middle of it.
It quicly dug it's way into the wound as far as it could.(about 1 and 1/2 in.).Then there was a large fash of light,as an electrical current started flowing through the whip,along with.it's handle, tip,and "special" gaurd.

This not only harmed the victim,but also amplified the poison's effectiveness of causing pain,and staying hidden from any type of outside,or even inside force/source.

VV was on the ground still on his knees gasping for air and propping himself up on the ground with arms.
He looked up to see his adversary struggling toget free of jormangur ,and in pain.
After he forced himself up, the first thing he did was pull the daggers out of his eye sockets.The pain,as it usually was,was excrusiating,but he was getting used to it,so it was decently easy to do,considering the fact that he was in fact pulling the daggers out himself.The blood was pouring out again.VV was surprised that he even had this much blood.He had never really bled this much.
Not that he could remember at least.
Anyway,he then he picked up his sword.walked over reached into johannes' pocket and took his projector out.
He knew that his enemyhad probably rewired this while he wasn't looking so VV tossed it in the air and sliced it in half.
Even if it hadn't been rewired,he wouldn't take the chance.

Johannes wa quickly out of the whip even with it's great strength,Johannes was stronger.
He was ripping and tearing it off in peices,sending sparks flying through the air.
He didn't have much trouble getting the end out of his back .
All he did was flex his muscles to force it into being exopsed, then simply pulled it out of his back.
The serpentine head stuck in his hand...on the other hand,was a bit harder to get off,it had a special lock on it, he didn't notice this right away,and nearly ripped part of his hand off.He tried prying it open,but even his great strength couldn't get it open.
After giving a quick once-over,he realized that he had a special mechanized key that could open it.
He was interested by this and was about to put it in his pocket.As he opened his coat,not only did he realize that the projector was gone,but the snake head device exploded with the force of 30 frag grenades.

VV was safely behind the cover of a tree,knowing what was going to happen beforehand.
He also knew that the tree that they were standing near were about to fall down.
And he didn't want to get hit, so he quickly took cover in a nearby bush that was far enough away to avoid being crushed,and close enough to observe.
Meanwhile...
Johannes still being dazed from the blast,just barely woke up and saw a giant tree about to fall down on top of him.
He quickly jumped up to his feet and jumped out of the way as the tree came crashing down with a small tremor.

VV was dissapointed to see Johannes unscathed from the tree falling,but was more interested the fact that johannes was coughing incredibly hard,and he saw Johannes look down at his hand,as if he had coughed up something.He then saw him bend over from coughing so hard and saw him spit out blood.
The virus was attacking johannes' windpipe,and lungs.VV's thought at the time was "Oh the irony" and then started rubbing his throat where his whip had been.

While Johannes was distracted VV took out his flame tongue,and sliced completely through a nearby tree.causing it to be set on fire, and to topple over towards his enemy.
As predicted he juumped over to the side again,but this time was met with a wall light spikes that VV had set up..
He ended up peircing his entire side with them.
These were special ones though,Johannes had seen VV's light spikes before while fighting the clones no doubt,and was barely effected by them.He expected them to phase away like before,but these were different, these 97 were designed to blow up in the way that a needler's rounds blow up. He was in for a big surprise.

VV was safely out of the way by now,he had flew his way out of the forest,and found a nearby temple,where he took cover.
There were many onks there,but none of them had semmed to have even noticed him as he landed.

He found a cloth on the ground and tied it over his open eye socket.

He then proceeded to wait and "recharge" so to speak.
Never letting down his gaurd,he waited.

He knew he hadn't hurt his enemy much,but hopefully it was enough to sloow him down...
Brute strength wasn't going to get him out,so he'd have to formulate a plan...
