Team Battle

[1-up Salesman]

"Heh, heh," Golan laughed despite the pain. Golan got up, wiping the blood of his face. "Pretty good, for a pretty-boy wannabe." Golan laughed, cracking his knuckles, making a snap! noise. Golan quickly did a round-house kick, sending Leon back. Golan did another kick, into Leon's stomach.

Golan did a back-flip before Leon's gunblade-shot could hit him. "Ya' know, you really need to try harder." Golan grabbed two knives from from his pouch, one in each hand, and threw them. Each went straight into Leon's shoulders. Golan flipped forward, kicking into Leon's chest.

Golan got behind him, grabbed both of his arms and pulled them behind his back, and pushed him down so he couldn't catch himself.

OOC: Can you match that? If you think I'm doing too much damage to your character in one post, then I'll stop.

[VG_Addict]

Takeshi turned to the rubber-man before him and smirked. "Hey, who do you think you are, Mr. Fantastic?" the teen quipped as he brought his left hand out on his side, and clenched it into a fist, doing the same with his right hand. Takeshi's face now wore a serious expression as a bright blue aura formed around his entire body, large chunks of the ground beneath him floating in the air in true anime fashion as he did so.



Takeshi then narrowed his eyes at Pinstripe, before propelling himself towards him, moving so fast that he was now but a mere blur. The teen slammed headfirst into Pinstripe's chest, sending the rubber-man flying in the air a few feet, with Takeshi's head still embedded into his chest. Suddenly, the teen unleashed a massive amount of psychic energy into Pinstripe's body, which shot the rubber-man back a good 20 feet away before slamming into a tree. Takeshi landed gracefully on his feet and smirked. "Hey, that was fun." the teen quipped.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

OoC: It's okay.


Leon tore out the knives from his shoulders in anger, disregarding safety. He was bruised and punctured, and pissed.

"Okay punk. Time to die." Leon spit blood. He lunged at Golan quickly striking him eighteen times and immediatly
turned and walked away before assessing damage to either himself or his downed foe.

"Lion Heart." Leon ran away to help his odd ally. He was gone as quickly as his strikes hit, leaving a trail of blood drops.

He spotted the two warriors he sought...

[Bad Dragonite]

Pinstripe got himself up,and wiped the side of his mouth with his sleeve.
Pinstripe:Nice
With that he pulled out a pistol,and fired two shots at Takeshi ,all in about 2 seconds.
Takeshi began concentrating a bit,and the bullets seemed to slow,about three inches from his head,they stopped and fell to the ground.

Pinstripe: Pretty good kid,but didjoo notice the explosives?

Takeshi:Huh?
He looked down,only to have about thirty sticks of dynamite go off right when the ground met his line of sight.
The blast was so big that it shook the area,Leon stopped to cover his eyes from the blast,then he and his opponent were a bit stunned for a moment ,by the sight of the blast.

He (Takeshi) went flying sraight upward about thirty feet,then crashed down to the ground.

Pinstripe:Hehe.

He said with a smile as he lit another cuban.
He sucked on it for a moment ,while walking over to his opponent casually.He bent down holding his cuban in one hand,and blew a ring of smoke in his opponents face.

Pinstripe:An' that's why, I'm a professional.

He looked at Golan.


He then pulled out two 9mm pistols(after putting his cigar back in his mouth of course,and fire six shots almost seamlessly at Golan.

While he was distracted trying to dodge bullets (he dodged all but one that grazed his shoulder barely) Pinstripe picked up Takeshi and flung him at Golan,the two colliding,sending them to the ground.

??:bzzt bzzt.

Vinny:Boss?Boss!?

Pinstripe:Yeah Vinny, what's up?

Vinny:We finally got a lock on your location like you asked.
You're in what used to be Brooklyn til' the attacks.
Now its just a wasteland.

Pinstripe:Yeah I noticed that!
Look,Vinny,I need you to make a drop real quick.

Vinny: A drop!?
Are you kiddin' !?
That's impossible!
That's unthinkable!
We're Already in the area.
Waddya need?

Pinstripe:A minigun.

Vinny :Got it!

With that an army-like chopper came by,and dropped the requested gatling gun on a nearby cliff,andtwo men roped down and set it up.
Just as soon as they came they were gone.
The ex human made his way up to the cliff,and mounted up.
He felt ready for anything.
He had his enemies in sight.
He fired,the thing went a bit out of control for a second,but he eventually got the hang of it.
The bullets flew out.
"Thck! Thck! Thck!"
Unfortunately,he had only so much ammo,and ran out quite quickly.
He didn't do anything to the two except fright them a bit.

Pinstripe: Damn.
He picked grabbed the handle ,and with his rubbery arms flung the large gun at a horde of zombies that had come up behind him.
He started sliding down the side of the cliff,descending towards his enemies ,pistols at the ready.
While leon was coming from behind them.

[1-up Salesman]

"Agh, get offa' me." Golan pushed Takeshi off of him and got up. "Could you shut up Mr. Talking Stick Figure for me, please? Crush him with some rocks or zombie arms or something. Get creative. Anyway...back to my business." Golan looked ahead to spot Leon with Pinstripe, who was holding two pistols, ready to fire. "Like I said, shut 'im up, please."

Golan ran ahead towards Leon. As he ran, he grabbed a pistol from his pouch, and loaded it. "Heh, you think a simple gun is gonna stop me?" Leon commented.

"No, but this isn't what you think," Golan shot back. Golan aimed the pistol, and fired several times. Leon smirked, that is, until they hit. Explosions erupted from the ground, making rocks go flying everywhere. As they were mid-air, Takeshi stopped the rocks from falling for his own use. Pinstripe was knocked back, and Leon went flying onto a nearby hill, not without damage taken.

"Yep, explosive bullets. Didn't see that coming, eh?"

[VG_Addict]

Takeshi used his psychic powers to mold the small rocks together, so that they formed into a massive boulder. The teen then smirked to himself as he tossed the boulder directly at Pinstripe. The attack hit home, and Pinstripe was currently sprawled across the ground, barely concious.


Takeshi then raised his right hand high into the air, which caused Pinstripe to gradually ascend into the air as well, until he was about 5 feet off the ground, after which he remained suspended in the air. The teen then balled his right hand into a fist, and suddenly, a massive blue pillar of psychic energy shot out of the ground above Pinstripe, and completely engulfed the rubber-man. After what seemed like hours, though it was really only about 20 minutes, Takeshi brought his right hand down, causing Pinstripe to fall to the ground with an audible THUD.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Leon rubbed his head. He was dizzy and probably had a moderate concussion. He also was burned, badly in some places; his clothes singed.

He stood up and wiped himself off. Golan spotted him amid the chaos of battle and fired more of the same projectiles.

"Whatever," Leon thought to himself. He sent a fireball and, just after the bullets left the chamber, they were hit, blowing Golan back from the mutual force of the fire and bullets. He went tumbling into a pile of zombies, landing on some jagged rocks.

[1-up Salesman]

"Aaah!" Golan yelled as he landed. The back of his shirt was ripped and stained with blood. Slowly, he crawled off. "Ugh," Golan grunted. "That was pretty good..."

"But..." Golan slowly walked towards Golan. "How...about...THIS!!!" Golan went flying into the air, kicking Leon in the face. He then landed a series of rapid punches to his chest and stomach, and ended the combo with one brutal side-kick to the stomach. Golan backflipped to keep his distance, and pulled something out of his pouch.

He was holding a blackish, greyish knife. Suddenly, a dark mist emerged from it, slowly forming into a large, dark-looking sword. "You're as good as dead, Leon." Golan jumped through the air swinging his blade at Leon. Leon dodged, Golan's blade meeting only rock. But even that was impressive. Slowly, the rock horizontally split in two.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Leon's nose bled profusely from the left nostril as he cradled his mass of cracked ribs. Breathing and moving became hell.

"You won't win..." However, Leon thought those words may better apply to himself.

Leon stumbled and slashed at Golan, locking blades. Leon stuck his leg behind Golan's and pushed forward, knocking him down.

Leon jumped back and summoned a Guardian Force; a demon-like giant named Ifrit. It grabbed a chunk of flaming earth and smashed it into the downed Golan.

Leon sat, exaughsted.

[1-up Salesman]

"Augh!" Golan yelled as he was smashed into the ground. He appeared to be slightly limp."Agh..." Golan grunted as he struggled to get up. The mad beast wildly appeared once again, and attacked him with its large fists. Golan was once again smashed into the ground.

Golan struggled to lift his blade. He slashed the beast's left arm, once. It fell off, blood instantly gushing from Ifrit's arm socket. It roared in pain, and pounded with its remaining arm, and stomped. Golan howled in pain as he was pounded into the dirt. The beast disappeared after its summon, and Golan lay, trying to stand back up. He focused his weight on the handle of the blade, stabbing it into the ground to pull himself back up. He fell back down, panting and bleeding.

Leon was worn out, and so was he. He hated to admit it, but he needed a short break.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

YEA LEON IZ KEWL

"I can't believe it...Ifrit?" Leon's sight was diminished greatly from the moderate concussion he previously incurred, along with the light blood-loss.

"And he can still move..." Leon could not yet rise, but nor could Golan fully. Golan fired his gun, sending two projectiles. Leon barely deflected them and countered with a powerful technique: Tornado.

From nowhere a Tornado swept Golan high into the sky...

Leon was out of magic and his health was low. He hoped he had bought himself a moment's reprieve.

[Bad Dragonite]

[OoC]:^^^^ Golan walked towards Golan?[/OoC]

Pinstripe appeared in a blur holding a , ... A needler ! (see.Halo) Two actually. He had two copies of the alien weapon, one in each hand,and his arms crossed,he fired both at once into the tornado. A stream of the electric purple needles was unleashed.
The dusty grey color of the twister was now mixed with a bright neon purple.
After a few moments,a small splash of blood fell from the twister,the needles homing system still worked quite well.
Then...CRASH! The sound of the needles igniting,a large light purple spark could be seen,along with the cringing silouhette of Golan. Another small splash of blood fell.The splash of it hitting the ground,rang out over the field.
If there were any other sounds,they were drowned out by the locomotive like sound of the twister.

After a few more moments the twister finnally came to a slow halt,and the bruised and broken body of Golan could be seen falling to the ground from a good twenty feet.
It hit the ground with a very distinguishable "Thump!".

Pinstripe: These guns iregular enough for you.
He said while still holding the cuban in his stainless teeth.
He cocked the guns,causing more neddles to pop out.

He turned to leon and tossed two small pills at him.
Leon caught them in his right hand while resting on his knees,and propping up against his sword with his left.

Pinstripe: Take these,they're special painkillers,all the help,with no side effects.

Leon:How do I know I can trust you?

Pinstripe: You're not dead are ya?

Leon had a quick expression of surprise,then went back to his regular bit of a scowl.
The left side of his mouth curled up into a half smile.
Leon : Heh heh.

With that,he shoved the pills into his mouth and swallowed,after a brief moment,Leon stood up,and propped his sword back on his shoulder,then wiped blood off of the side of his mouth.

Leon:It seems you were telling the truth.

Takeshi (in the distance): Hey'd you forget about me!?

They both turned around to see the teenager glowing with blue streams of energy,and rocks floating about.

With that,a couple of head-sized stones were flung in there direction.
They both jumped out of the way,in opposite directions,then both fired at the teen,Leon shot a fireball,and Pinstripe unleashed more purple hell with his twin needlers directly at the teen.

[OoC]So there it is...[/OoC]

[VG_Addict]

Takeshi watched the purple needles and fireball fly towards him, and promptly formed a psychic barrier around himself, which caused the needles and large orb of fire to bounce off of the barrier and fall harmlessly to the ground. Takeshi then smirked at Pinstripe. "Betcha didn't expect that, huh?" he quipped, before bringing his hands directly in front of his chest, and pushing them in a forward motion, making a small psychic wave that knocked Pinstripe off his feet. While the rubber-man was falling, Takeshi telekinetically took the guns out of his hands, held them directly above him, and fired a softball-sized ball of energy at them, blowing them into countless small fragments that rained down to the ground.



The teen then turned to Leon and spoke. "You know, I used to think that Final Fantasy was the best video game series ever." Takeshi said. "Really?" Leon asked, his eyes brimming with hope. "Yeah. WHEN I WAS IN 2ND GRADE!!" Takeshi shouted in the man's face before lifting him up in the air, and throwing him backwards into the side of the cliff, staying there for a few moments, before skidding down to the ground, with a few stray boulders loosening and falling on top of him.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Leon emerged from his rocky covering, with his left arm bent. He twisted it into position while the pills were still working.

"You fight like you're still in second grade," Leon mocked, as he rotated his injured arm with a smile.

Leon picked up two boulders nearby and ran at Takeshi, throwing one and momentarily afterward, the other. He easily deflected them while laughing, but Leon crammed his sword into the earth under Takeshi and fired, ruining his footing and concentration.

Leon slashed his chest.

[1-up Salesman]

Golan fell to the ground covered in needles. He was tired, bleeding, and to make it worse his partner was getting beaten. But he couldn't lose yet. Golan pulled a gun out of his pouch, leaning against a rock. "Leave Takeshi alone, you coward." Golan shot at Leon's shoulder, sending Leon down clutching the wound. Golan then shot into Leon's right leg.

"Could you get these spikes out of me, Takeshi?" Golan mumbled.

[VG_Addict]

Takeshi turned to Golan. "Sure, no problem." the teen said, as he use his psychic powers to pull the needles out of the cloaked man's body, then tossing them at Leon, with most of them connecting.


"Damn, these guys are stronger than they look. We're gonna have to hit 'em with all we've got if we wanna beat them." Takeshi told his partner.

[1-up Salesman]

"Ungh...thanks..." Golan mumbled. He was out of it. He needed to rest before he could get up again. Leaning against a rock, he kept a gun ready. He then pointed his gun up at Pinstripe, sending a two bullets into each of his needlers. He then shot at his stomach, before his gun was left empty.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Leon turned his back and used his sword to cover his spine. The sides of his upper back and shoulders took a number of needles.

He took a few labored breaths and seen Golan fire at Pinstripe's body with his last shot. Leon threw his sword to block the shot.

Leon was now unarmed. "You owe me..." he mumbled to his ally. From his pocket he pulled a Meteor Stone. Just then, a large meteor slammed from the sky, into Takeshi.

"Pinstripe, I'm running short on options here!"

[VG_Addict]

Takeshi struggled to get back up. He was in serious pain, as blood was streaming out of his mouth and down his chin, and he was positive that several of his ribs were cracked. Nevertheless, he got up and glared at Leon.


"I won't lose to bastards like you." Takeshi growled at the man standing before him, blood still dripping from his mouth. "You're going to die for what you did to my partner, Golan." the teen's hands balled into fists as they pulsated with psychic power. Suddenly, the psychic power transformed into two 5-foot long swords, one for each hand. Takeshi then charged towards Leon, swords crossed in front of his chest, and brought them forward as Takeshi charged right past Leon, abruptly stopping when he was several feet behind him. For a few moments, it seemed like nothing happened, until suddenly, blood spewed out of Leon's chest and stomach as the man fell to the ground.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

"Now..I'm out of options," he muttered. He fell to his knees; as he pulled his strongest stone. Ultima. A furious, swirling magic unleashed, annihilating the area around Takeshi, earth and stone alike.

Too weak to turn around, after a moment of silence Leon used his Protect Stone, half expecting an attack from behind. Nothing..

He activated his last temporary defense stone, Shell. He glew with magic but was critically wounded.

Leon crawled behind a rock & used his clothes to wrap his wounds.

"Help...!"
