1. Prep = 15 minutes, in a neutral environment apart from the battlefield.
2. The only thing combatants can have "operational" coming into the fight is generic shielding. Thus, an offensive or other maneuver must begin after the fight has started. No creating 10,000 illusions/constructs/etc. during prep or anything like that.
3. If you don't know the rules, read them! The first person to make 7 battle-related posts on Day 1, then complain to me will be flogged....or at least get a PM from me with a " " smilie and a link to the rules. They've been established for weeks. And that thread has been pinned for the past week. There's no excuse for not knowing them.
4. Observers are asked to NOT post in this thread unless it is a question directly related to the battle.
5. Keep anything extraneous in the discussion thread. Please help me keep this battle as efficient as possible.
6. Judges: wait a while to vote. And post your vote, possibly with a (brief) explanation. Don't vote in the poll Observers: Feel free to vote in the poll, but I'd encourage you to wait as well.
7. Help me out with all of this. If something needs edited out, let me know...I can't catch everything.
Khell/KVD Black Bolt (Team) Witchfire (KVD)
...they switched BRB for Spartan later on and I forgot to get the bio(s). Khell or KVD, please post it in one of your opening posts. Thanks.
Battle Location: A turtle has been enlarged to the size of the moon. The shell is then removed from the turtle. You're fighting on top of the shell, in deep space (breathable atmospherre though). A weak gravitational force holds you to the shell, and so either side of the shell that you're on (outer or inner) could be considered "down". It is no harder/stronger than a normal turtle shell, though it is considerably thicker. Both teams start on opposite sides of the outer side of the shell, so that the hump in the middle prevents them from seeing each other initially.
PREP:
Ok folks here goes our first lesson on GL knowledge. A GL ring CAN DO ANYTHING. If you dont believe me, who will you believe? Batman? http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?...s1m4pg107nr.jpg
Thank you Batman. It can do anything you think it can do. Now that we are done with that little bit of information, we can get on with the show.
My team has been assembled: Shaman, Juggernaught, and Kyle Rayner. Knowing they are about to face of in battle, they begin to prepare for the worst in the time they are given. Kyle, wanting to maximize the efforts of everyone, commands the ring to give his team supercomputer type brains (they can now think, react, and act at superspeed). Think the Midnighter. Think seeing everything in slow motion. Got that picture? Good
Next GL makes personal shields for himself and Shaman and instructs the ring to not let anything IN, but to let things out. And making a couple of shields is nothing to Kyle: http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?...illion153wm.jpg He did that with no strain whatsoever.
He also protects the forcefield with a powder that makes anyone pound or try to break it see their greatest fears, their personal phobias (while protecting his team from the magic):
Phobia Manipulation ( Alpha Flight #12) This attack doesn't attack the body, but the mind bringing forth the person's phobias. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f...Flight12-27.jpg
Shaman then secures that shield with multiple layers of shields around him and Kyle. There is not enough space for a person to fit between layers, but they are big enough to be seen.
With all these shields, you can never be too certain. So Kyle does the unthinkable and gives Shaman superpowers. Yes I said superpowers. As in his own physical superpowers! Dont think it can be done? Kyle once gave himself telekinisis when he couldnt use the ring (or else he would be caught and arrested/killed on the planet *as you can see because they detected the energy spike before he even got on the planet that was him changing himself) So before he got there he gave himself the powers and changes his apperance. The change: http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?...rn173p027ju.jpg http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?...rn173p036bq.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?...rn173p048fj.jpg
Seeing as it was cellular change that he did (as told by Abin Sur later on), he simply modifies what he did to give Shaman the basic Superman set of powers (Superstrength, Extreme durability, Super Speed, plus a healing factor)
While this is all taking place, Juggernaut has activated his own personal forcefield and is just itching to hit something.
With all this done Kyle takes a moment says his oath, recharges his ring and prepares to battle.
The last thing my team does is get together and (juggs takes his helmet off for this) have Kyle implant in their minds something that will make them all bloodthirsty, fighting all out without remorse (use your imagination as to what those reasons are *ie Shamans daughter has been captured* ).
Proof that the ring can work on the mind in different ways: http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?...9rougher1ma.jpg
Now Juggernaut, Shaman, and Kyle are ready to rumble.
BATTLE:
Alright then after our prep is finshed we are ready to go.
As soon as the battle starts protected behind all our shields, Shaman will activate some powders. With his new powers and computer like brain Shaman quickly activates the powders making the entire opposing team mute, to cut off teamwork and communication.
While Shaman has been doing all this, Kyle concentrates and quickly creates five constructs unlike his regular constructs. These are alive, sentient, and can act independently. Did I mention that they are all Daxamites who also have the ability to lend speed, have super computer brains and a GL ring? No? Need proof?
This is when Kyle subconsciouly created the "fake" GLC http://img335.imageshack.us/my.php?...offire418ik.jpg http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?...offire423pa.jpg http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?...offire438rp.jpg
Explained that they really are just constructs (even though they have memories) http://img306.imageshack.us/my.php?...offire02244.jpg
Now Green Lighting was a speedster who could give/take speed, Emeral Knight was a Daxamite (Daxamite is just > Superman level), and G.L. was a robot with a supercomputer type brain (and they all had a workable GL ring). Kyle takes those facets and again creates a "fake" GLC making 5 (per the rules of how many independent constructs can be made)
This will happen while him, Shaman, and Juggs quickly survey the battlefield since they all have computer brains they all know what is going fast and effectivly and come up with the best means to handle the situation.
Shaman soon realizes that a spirit is on the field in Spartan and yes spartan is a spirit inhabiting the body of a Cyborg. Shaman being able to call upon and dispell spirits will then begin to cast a spell to to remove Spartan's Spirit from his body since his body is not his natural one it will work and Khell's team is already down one memeber.
The bio that Khell himself provided says
Bio: Spartan's main personality was taken from the Kherubim Yon Khol. After being mortally wounded, Yon Khol's spirit was removed and placed into a Hadrian 7 model biosynthetic Spartan body. Khol's body survived and usurped Kaizen Gamorra's identity. As Spartan, he served under Jacob Marlowe, the Kherubim Lord Emp in his war against the Daemonites.
Two of the Daxamites can then bum rush his body and tear it a new one with their heat vision, bare hands or some GL work. And if it does happen to have just a tiny bit of life in it, they can drain his kinetic energy enough that he wont be able to teleport away (and teleporting next to my characters he wont be able to thanks to the many layers of shielding that I have *which are magical in nature meaning that they cant be used against them
Khell will probably come unto the battlefield ready to unleash BlackBolt's scream to take out my team as fast as possible but being that Shaman has made the opposing team mute the problem is taken care of. However he has many more abilities, and the ring scans Black Bolt and realizes his powers. Kyle just changes the polarity because BB just separates the molecular bonds of matter (electron interaction; ie, magnetic bonds). The ring can counter this by using a positive charge (protons) to stabilize the effect (stabilizing the polarity and negating the separation)
With this done the ring also determines that BB uses his power and that he concentrates his energy through his tuning fork.
Another two of the Daxamites and Kyle all blast together hurting BB as much as posible and take out his tuning fork (which causes him to passout doesnt it?)
Juggernaut, wanting to fulfill his deep passion and desire of just ramming into someone and kicking the crap outa them, has come to notice Witchfire preparing some attack, and decides to bumrush her as fast as he can with his new wind powers. The last of the Daxamites comes to attack also, and lending Juggernaut some additional speed they hit her straight on
If there was a giant snake wrapped around the turtle you could have called this battlefeild "Genbu". Though technically you still can, since you can call it whater you wish.
Okay, first thing's first. During prep, Black Bolt quickly informs his teammates of the fact that he can't communicate verbally, and why, via his ability to gather up particles in the air and basically write in midair. After everyone gives each other a general rundown of the powers they bring to the table, BB and Spartan, both incredible tacticians, begin putting together a plan of action. During this, Witchfire explains who Shaman is, and what he can do.
In the last few minutes of prep, Black Bolt put up his personal forcefield, which allows him to trade blows with the likes of the Hulk and Gladiator. Since Witchfire's a telepath, and BB can't speak, they decide to stick together during this fight, while the teleporter goes long range.
Now, since basically the only ALLOWABLE things you did during prep were piling on the damn shields, Spartan teleports high enough into the air that he can scan the entire battlefield. Once he detects your team, he teleports small pieces of the giant shell into the brains of Kyle And Shaman.
The same way he can teleport the bodyparts off an enemy: http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/...odyparts4nj.jpg
Now, before you start whining, I asked Digi about that exact tactic long before I switched Spartan in, and he said it was cheap, but that any teleportation attack other than BFR was allowed.
So, your spellcaster is dead before he's had time to cast maybe one spell. I'll give Kyle the benefit of the doubt and assume you'll probably have a scan showing him countering/surviving something similar. But I imagine it'll still give him one b*tch of a headache. Of course, Juggy probably just feels a a minor ache while the magic fueling him gets rid of the chunk of shell in his head. But, hey, since getting him sky-bound was way down on the list of prep stuff you weren't actually allowed to do during prep, he's still stuck on the ground.
So, now that your magician is dead before having the chance to do anything effective, and your other guys are either dead or distracted by stones in their brains, your whole plan is basically out the window. By the time Black Bolt gets there, carrying Witchfire, Kyle will be distracted by having his ring teleported off of his hand and into the ground (assuming, of crouse, you can prove the rock tot he brain wouldn't kill him). Even if he can retrieve it, Spartan can just keep repeating the action before Kyle has a chance to use it. BB's arrival will signal Spartan that it's time to fall back behind him, after yet again teleporting Kyle's ring off of his hand. BB unleashes his best scream, while Witchfire attacks in some manner that KVD will cover in her first post.
So, Kyle is now dead and Juggy is now floating through space. If that's not good enough for an elimination, Spartan can simply teleport Juggs to the edge of the battlefield, wait for him to run back, and then teleport him away again.
