OOC: I vaguely mentioned something about Vecked becoming a Brotherhood member to Mr. 36 a few months back... BIC: "Wow..." Nulix said to himself, where was he? Did he take a wrong turn or something?
Vecked curled inside his armor. It was cold tonight, especially when you were sleeping in a grass field. Vecked was tempted to create a small flame, not very bright but still good enough to keep him warm. A silent jet flew above him, a single flashing red light visible on the jet in the night sky. A second after the jet had flown by the roar of the engine broke the silence. Vecked closed his eyes as the roar of the engine shook the ground. Vecked opened them slowly to see his partner glaring at him. “I don’t like loud sounds,” Vecked said. “So your afraid of the Jet?” his partner asked. “I’m afraid of the jets power, and I grew up with Jets flying over me. When you’re inside a house and you don’t see the jet and suddenly there’s a large sound, like an explosion in the sky. When your three and four that’s scary.” Vecked explained. “So your afraid of the jet?” his partner asked again. “I’m afraid of the Jets power.” Vecked replied. “By the way, I saw something odd with the last few jets. They all had their afterburners on. I think that the jets are trying to jump high into the gravitational field, into a larger Gummi Cruiser maybe.” “Why would they do that, the death rate increases by maybe half, probably less to be realistic. Still, no deaths are preferred. Why would they risk it if they could just land the large Gummi in the bay?” Vecked’s partner asked. “Because they don’t have the bay,” Vecked replied. His partner sighed, before she grabbed her sword and stood up. “I’m gonna highjack a jet; go to the bay and see what’s happening.” She said, as Vecked got up. “Gotcha,” Vecked replied before running off. This was his trial; if he succeeded, Vecked would officially be the thirty-seventh Brotherhood member. His test was to help put an end to the Eastern Line war, a war between two worlds right next to each other. Vecked was thrown into the war with nothing but a description. Kill the two world leaders. Vecked reached the end of the field, and was now on top of a cliff looking over a beach. On the beach was a large landing strip, several small bases surrounding it. Hundreds of jets and a few gummi ships stood all around the area. Vecked slowly began to climb down the cliff; there was also another rule to this mission. Vecked was only allowed to kill five people, and two of them had to be the world’s leaders. He had already wasted two of his five lives, and hopefully, after the mission was over, he would still have the last life left. Vecked slowly but surely climbed down the cliff. It was a battlefield on the beach. Soldiers from both worlds shot at one another. It seemed one of the worlds had attacked the other. Vecked jumped down onto a gummi ship and stealthily made his way towards the water. Vecked swam below the boats and ships that rested off the beach. Vecked held his breath as long as he could but at some point he had to come up for air. Vecked swam to the surface and climbed onto the nearest boat. The boat was completely empty; the crew had probably gone to fight at the beach. Just as Vecked began to head back to the water, a gunshot broke the silence, and a man flew out the ships sleeping area. Vecked looked down at the man, he had a gunshot in his skull, and was completely dead. It took Vecked a second to realize that this man was one of the world leaders. “Check one,” Vecked whispered to himself, picking up the body. “Hey!” A man yelled, Vecked turned around to see the other world leader with a pistol in his hand, “Who the hell are you?!” The world leader demanded. Vecked smiled, “Check two,” he whispered, shooting the second world leader in the neck. Vecked grabbed the two bodies and put them in a large brown bag. He would need them as proof for Scourge. Vecked looked up as a few gummi ships approached. Vecked jumped off the rear end of the boat and grabbed onto one of the gummi ships tires. Vecked somersaulted on top of the ship and placed a grenade onto the ships roof. Vcked climbed back down the ship as the grenade blew the ships roof off, damaging the engine in the process, sending the ship into a downward crash. As the ship flew down, Vecked flipped into the burning ship from the roof. Vecked grabbed the pilot of the ship by the neck and pushed him against the wall. “Give me your wallet now,” Vecked demanded. “You idiot! You killed us all! Why would you do that!?” The pilot yelled. Veked sighed, “First off, I’m not killing you, the ship crashing into the water and crushing you will be the cause of your death-“ “And you blew the ships engine up!” The pilot interrupted, “You caused the ship to explode, now we will both die!” “No… just you,” Vecked said, jumping out of the ship as it hit the water. Vecked landed in the water a few feet away from the ship. Vecked dived into the water after the sinking ship; he still needed that guy’s wallet. Vecked swam into the sinking ship and grabbed the pilot’s corpse and one of the emergency escape kits on the ships wall. With the pilot in one hand, the escape kit in another, and the brown bag with the two bodies in it strapped to Vecked’s back, he swam up to the surface. Vecked gasped for breath as he reached the surface. After a few seconds of rest, Vecked pulled the escape kit out. It was a compressed yellow piece of plastic with a string coming out of it. Vecked pulled the string and the piece of plastic inflated into a yellow plastic safety raft. Vecked threw the brown bag and the pilots body onto the raft, before climbing in himself. “Lets see what we have here,” Vecked muttered, searching threw the pilots pockets. “That’s the ticket,” Vecked thought out loud, pulling the pilots wallet out. Vecked smiled as he threw the pilots body overboard. Vecked would now sail to the nearest harbor, take a taxi to the nearest airport, and then get on a Gummi Ship to the nearest world that the Brotherhood occupied. Once he arrived, Vecked would most likely meet up with Scrouge, who would hopefully make Vecked a part of the Brotherhoods ranks. Vecked lay down in the raft and closed his eyes; the Brotherhood could wait though, because now a quick nap was in order… *** “Why… why again? If I don’t hurry I’m gonna be late!” Nulix muttered to himself. Day two, round two, and again Nulix had slept way too late. The strange thing was, he actually went to bed early last night. Maybe he was sleeping late because the Olympian beds were oh so comfortable. Nulix put his shoes on and ran out of the door, down the hallway, and towards the stadium…
OOC: Sorry I wasn't here, I was really busy yesterday BIC: "Hey Xane," Nulix said, walking up to Xane, "Whats going on? Whens match two starting?"
"...Okay, goodbye," Nulix said to Xardius, before turning to Xane, "I gotta go rob a bank, see you later man." OOC: I'm outa here.
"Do you think he really is working for us? Or he's just trying to stay on our good side?" Nulix asked.
"...Enigma is a Brotherhood member?" Nulix muttered, "That's interesting. So what are we going to do with him?"
OOC: Darknight, go see Batman right now. We cannot talk until you have seen the greatness that is the Dark Knight! Best movie of the year! It is to superhero movies what Return of the King was to fantasy films. BIC: "Blah! Whats happening, whats going on with round 2?" Nulix asked Xardius...
OOC: Gnah! Gotta go, see you people tomorrow....
OOC: ................According to the fanfic that never happened............. BIC: "Of course I'm telling the truth! I can't believe you Xane, coming up here and doubting me," Nulix joked, "Anyways, where are the others?"
OOC: Really? I was sort of basing Ulian Ecko off of the early Vecked, the one who would randomly appear and do crazy stuff while being all intellectual about it. But then I had to go give Vecked a back story and make him semi-likable... and bye Darknight! I might have to go soon as well. BIC: "I'm not lying man," Nulix said, "Check the charts, I won fair and square against Athena."
OOC: OH! Jaxed, your going to see the Dark Knight!?! You will not be disappointed! And Pirate, I like this Tournament more then the other ones, mainly because this Tournament has a lot more going on behind the scenes. BIC: "So how did your fight go, Xane?" Nulix asked, "I didn't catch the end of it."
Nulix turned to Xane, "Uh, I managed to find Athena, she was all crazy and stuff. We had our fight in one of the smaller arenas. The ninth one I think, the ninth arena," Nulix lied, "No one really showed up, there really was no reason to see it, it was pretty boring." Nulix said, "In the end I won of course."
Nulix sighed. He was searching for Athena, it was almost six, the match was scheduled for five thirty. He had searched almost the entire stadium section of the city. Now Nulix found himself in an large back ally, the only other people in the area was a family of three taking picture of random things. “My god…” A man said, walking towards the group, “If it isn’t Nulix! Ladies and Gentleman, it’s Nulix Princeton people!” The man said, raising his voice. Nulix turned around and looked at man, "Wait... your that guy who shot me!" “Right, I'm professor Ulian Ecko,” Ulian said, “Me and my buddies have entered this Tournament especially for you and your Ultimate Organization, Nulix. My fellow colleagues think that the only way to defeat your team is to… for lack of a better word, crush you. But I’m different, I think that your reasonable people like the rest of us,” Ulian said, “By the way, I’m with the Brotherhood, in case you couldn’t guess.” “First, I want to ask you a question, why do we fight?” Ulian asked, “I mean, to be brutally honest, the Brotherhood is like a successful version of the Ultimate Organization.” “I’ve had enough of this, I don’t care anymore,” Nulix muttered, "I'm going to the police, a crazy guy like yourself shouldn't be shooting people on the street" “No please, hear me out, I have a really good point,” Ulian said. Nulix shook his head and started to walk away. Ulian sighed and shot the nearby family of three in the throats with a pistol he hid under his sleeve. The three citizens fell to the ground dead. “What the hell did you do?!” Nulix yelled, pulling out his gunblade. “I was just getting your attention,” Ulian responded. “You asked why we fight, this is why. Because the UO wants to protect the people and the Brotherhood kill the people,” Nulix said, “Like you just did.” “Yeah, I did," Ulian shrugged, "I just killed three human beings, one of them a child. But... in my defense, you've done the same. Dai Jee, U.P.A., all the others. A bunch of poor nineteen year old idiots who need money, joined the army, and got their lives taken by an organization who says they protect the people." Ulian smiled, "The only difference between us and you, the Brotherhood and the UO, is that we, at the Brotherhood, accept the fact that we truly do have sinister, evil intentions. You refuse to see that, because of some sense of self righteousness. You call yourselves heroes, just because you refuse to be villains." Nulix tried to think of a quick response, but he didn't think of anything that would not prove Ulian's point. "The difference... between you and me, is that you, the Brotherhood, want to enslave the people, we don't." "We... want to rule the land, we don't want to enslave the people." Ulian said, "The only things that change under our rule was the taxes. The people were barely effected at all, in fact... we are probably better for these dark worlds. Because, when these places were not under our rule, the worlds are, pardon the language, sh*t holes. The Dark worlds would be in a far worse conditions if it wasn't for us," Ulian said. "Alright, that's it buddy." Nulix muttered, pointing his gunblade out, "Do you give up? Or do I have to unleash my fury on you." "Take in easy, Nul," Ulian said, "I actually wanted to help you out. Earlier I was trying to tell you that Athena will destroy you, and she would of. But she never showed up." "Your point?" Nulix muttered. "Just a second, man," Ulian said, "I want to help you out actually. You never fought Athena, but the official score board says that you fought against her and won." Ulian said, "You and her began the fight in the ninth arena at five twenty-eight, it ended at five forty-nine. You won, nothing gained nothing learned." "How did you do that?" Nulix asked, "You can't just say I win a fight and make it so." "I'm not saying you won, the score board does." Ulian said, "And Athena also says you won." Nulix raised an eyebrow, "How did you get Athena to agree to that?" Ulian smiled, "There's a lot of money circling this tournament, its the second biggest tournament of the year. If you give someone a bag of money, and keep adding money to that bag, they will eventually do what you say. It seems even the gods aren't immune to corruption." "...Thanks, but don't help me out again. I can take care of myself," Nulix said. "I doubt it," Ulian said, pushing past Nulix and walked away. Nulix watched him leave, that man was crazy. Strange that a Brotherhood member actually helped him, or maybe this guy just had other motives then the mainstream Brotherhood. Nulix shook his head and walked away, at least he was past round one. OOC: This post was just an excuse for me not to fight. Sorry ya'll, I just can't think of a decent Nulix vs. Athena fight.
"Damn dude," Nulix commented, running up to Darxess and Xardius. "I would say your being over dramatic, but in this situation, your actually right. Everyone wants us dead, and I'm sure most of our opponents wouldn't think twice about cheating to end our lives."
Nulix looked at the arena with interest... OOC: Sorry about all these posts with Nulix doing nothing, my fights coming soonish.
Nulix watched Xanes fight with extreme interest...
"Eyo Darxess,," Nulix said, walking up to him. His chest was covered in bandages but other then that he seemed fine, "Whats happening?"
OOC: Damn this thread is dead...
OOC: Blah... BIC: "On the schedule it says I'm fighting... uh, Athena? She's really smart, according to this?" Nulix muttered to anyone who would listen. "Yo," A voice said from behind Nulix. Nulix turned to see who it was, behind him stood a man with brown trench coat... "Yo back at ya," Nulix said, "Um... so yeah, do I know you? Cause' my mom told me not to talk to strangers..." he said. The man raised an eyebrow at Nulix's words, "I was... I was, uh, trying to be funny, a failed attempt I'm sure..." Nulix said with a smile. "My name is Dr. Ulian Ecko," The man said, walking towards Nulix. "I'm Nulix Princeton... can I help you?" Nulix asked, glancing to the side. "Yes, yes you can," Dr. Ecko said, "You and I both know that this Tournament is out of your league-" "Excuse me?" Nulix asked. "Come now, Mr. Princeton," Dr. Ecko said, "We both know that fighting is not your cup of tea?" "Look..." Nulix said, "I really don't have time to be here and be insulted..." "Oh... You think your pretty smart, Mr. Princeton? Well... think you can outsmart a bullet?!" Dr. Ecko yelled, shooting Nulix in the chest. "Wait, what?!-" Nulix said, falling to the ground. Ecko smiled before fleeing the scene of the crime. Nulix put his hand over his chest, the bullet missed his heart... barely. "God I hate Tournaments..." Nulix muttered as he fell unconscious...
OOC: ....where is everyone ?
