Sorry if this is soooooo long. If you read my post in the discussion thread, you'll know exactly why it took me so long. Please don't hate me, everyone gets a stab at me one at a time. There's going to be some weird spacing, so hang with me.:P
Round 3 (Delayed)
Sion Lions vs Artemis Kramen There was a lot of noise, the crowd rallied for the next fight.
"Come on dammit, what the hell is taking so long?" a man in the audience asked over the noisy crowd. He was then reaped by Xtreme gamer after his sentence, his soul plunging into the depths of hell as he screamed.
Meanwhile, Xtreme and Pandaemonium were playing a nice game of Tunk, Xtreme gamer tapping his bony finger nervously on the table, trying to decide whether to throw away his Jack, or keep it.
Pandaemonium cracked a devious smile.
"What's the matter slick? Jack feeling dull and wants to play?" he said, playing mind games.
Xtreme's knee started to bounce up and down nervously, the table making an irritating creaking noise. He extended his hand out, and then brought it back.
"Screw you, your goin down, and that cookies mine!" Xtreme said confidently, drawing a card. It was what he needed; he now had a trio of Jacks, an Ace, and an eight. With a toothy grin, Xtreme laid out his trio of Jacks on the table with a loud, thunderous smack, dropping his eight on the large pile of cards. Holding his Ace tightly, and ready to count three turns, Xtreme haughtily folded his arms, giving a hearty smile.
"Ha! Beat that!" he challenged.
Pandaemonium just shrugged. "Okay." he said, quickly laying a fourth Jack on Xtreme's trio of Jacks, picking up the eight, laying down a trio of eights, and dropping his last card for the win.
"Oops, I think I just kicked your **** again." he said, Lulzing as he slowly ate the cookie, torturing Xtreme.
Xtreme laid his head down in defeat, Cervantes De Leon coming up from behind.
"Wow dude, that's 293,826,812,789.52 to 0." he said sadly, marking a 100 foot tall chalkboard with another tally. ?Don?t worry, you?ll get him next time.? He assured, patting him on the back.
"Oh yeah, remember the other end of our deal Xtreme?" Pandaemonium reminded, mashing the half-bitten cookie into the ground.
The entire Supercheats staff came rushing in, standing over Xtreme.
"You've got to buy us all a treat!" everyone said in harmony.
Xtreme moaned and groaned, for he knew he was going to be in depth for another century.
"Ouch, hope your pockets are as fat as swine." Seos San Nekros said, patting him on the back. "After all, you?re buying gourmet correct?" he asked devilishly, pulling out a long list of items that just kept rolling across the ground, reaching the ends of universe. "Then I'll have all of this, Pooly will have this, Cataclysm will have these, Sotek will have that, Testvirus101 would like this one boiled, the others fried and..." Seos San Nekros went on and on for seven days and nights. Morning came, a rooster lazily strolling up the tournament building?s peak.
"****-a-doodle...f*** this!" the rooster said obnoxiously, packing his bags, putting on his brown travel hat and leaving, only to be vaporized by Pooly's Mod Lazar.
"Mm...Just like how I make it on Cooking Mama: only for Wii." Pooly said happily, taking a nice, big, unhealthy bite of rooster.
"Kill me, I beg of you!" Xtreme gamer pleaded, dropping to his knees, praying for Pooly to vaporize him.
"Um dude, Death can't be killed by Death." r & c mega said, appearing from nowhere.
"You want a treat? I?ll you all a treat! Yeah that?s right!" Xtreme said insanely, laughing evilly, running through a brick wall.
Testvirus101 sighed heavily, shaking his head. ?Does he know that there was a door right there?" he asked, pointing at the door.
"While Xtreme goes off and buys everyone here treats, let's get this baby poppin!" a random announcer said, trying to get everyone rallied up.
The crowd roared. Finally, they were going to see some action.
"From the Zirion Planetary System, weighing in at 246 lbs, the beastly elemental warrior that everyone knows and loves: Sion Lions!" the announcer screamed as the crowd roared, the spotlight shining on the west side of the arena.
The place went up in ablaze of multi-colored fireworks, a large, steel ramp rising from the ground. Music of epic proportion was playing loudly as Sion came running out like a ****** coming out of Toys R Us. Sion did wild, animal-like gestures, beating his chest like a frenzied animal as the crowd roared. For some odd reason, he had a golden-plated spinner belt, which he held high up into the air proudly: it was the WWE Title, which he had undoubtedly mugged from one John Cena.
"Oh yeah babay whooooo! The
real champ is here!" Sion shouted obnoxiously, spinning the center plate as he walked into the arena. He gave a toothy grin, throwing his championship belt into the air one more time as the crowd roared again. "Even though I went completely broke preparing that performance, I'd say it turned out rather well." Sion said with a sigh of relief.
Testvirus101 leaned closer to Pandaemonium.
"A barrel of beer that this guy gets smoked within an hour of the fight." he wispered to Pandaemonium.
"Your on, barrel of beer that he gets aced within an hour of the fight." he replied.
Cataclysm came from nowhere, startling both Panda and Test. "There aint no such thing as illegal gambling without me around...especially if it involves substances that are bad for you, count me in! SION LIONS FOR THE WIN!!!!!!" he shouted loudly.
Pooly soon interrupted. "Wow, his entrance was so focking cool! Almost as bright and colorful as Super Mario Galaxy...only for Wii." he stated, nodding several times.
The announcer was feeling it, throwing his microphone in the air. It dropped onto the ground with a loud thud, the speakers making a loud screeching noise.
"Fail." Cervantes De Leon, Pandaemonium, and Sotek said in harmony.
"Ahem...er..sorry about that, my first time. Anyways, hailing from the Spirit World, weighing in at 197 lbs, The ruthless and cold king of the Spirit Realm...Artemis Kramen!" the announcer shouted as the crowd roared.
Artemis appeared in the ring in a loud flash of jet-black electricity, scaring the crowd and announcer alike. His power struck fear in the hearts
of many, men hiding behind the women, children crying, and Pooly under the judge table, holding into his Wii for dear life.
"He just wants my Wii! That's it..he wants my Wii! Never!" Pooly sheirked insanely, locking himself in a dark room.
"We meet again Lions. This time, on the battlefield." Artemis said gruffly, his unholy power so mighty, the very air around them began to grow foul and tainted.
"Like wise Kramen." Sion responded sharply, a multi-colorful aura surrounding his body. "I can't even put a label on the power your emitting, I can't even count that high." he said in all serious-ness, giving a small grin. "Come to think of it, you can't even count by fractions, excuse me." he insulted.
"Still the incompetent fool I see." he replied, a surge of jet-black electricity striking the ground in front of Sion. "It will be a pleasure in stuffing your mouth with my blade." he said, summoning his five-foot black blade known as Elecktron, his black aura overpowering Sion's.
Sion's multi-colored aura intensified, combating Artemis's raw power in equilibrium, his Lionara Gauntlets and Greaves appearing in righteous glory.
"Sorry pal, but I just don't quite swing that way if you know what I'm sayin'." he grinned, getting into battle stance.
"I won't. Dead men don't speak...
they wail." Artemis retorted.
The announcer staggered back in fear, he knew this fight was going to be intense. He had a large, smelly brown stain on the back of his slacks.
3..2..1...FIGHT!!!!!!!
Artemis slammed Elecktron into the ground, it's black blade giving off powerful electrical currents. "Electronica Diablobicous!" Artemis roared, jet-black bolts of electricity jutting out of the ground, and towards Sion.
"Woah!" Sion shreiked in terror, barely dodging them. "That all you got?"
Artemis smiled. "Look down." he warned, pointing down.
Sion looked down, over 100,000 bolts of jet-black electricity jutting up from beneath him, creating an intimidating, demonic light show. The crowd was screaming, bolts of lightning shooting everywhere.
"Damn! He got his az smoked!" Testvirus101 laughed, watching the electricity run wild across the area.
"He so got aced!" Pandaemonium said, clapping it up, enjoying the tons of flickering lights.
Testvirus101 shook his head in disagreement. "He got fried, so I win the bet."
Pandaemonium shook his head in disagreement. "No you babbling moron, he got aced, so I win the bet."
"Fried." Testvirus101 said, getting up out of his seat.
"Aced." Pandaemonium said, pulling out an pistol.
"Fried!" Testvirus101 replied, pulling out an shotgun.
"Aced!" Pandaemonium yelled angrily, pulling out an M4 equipped with laser sighting.
"Fried..." Testvirus101 yelled back, pulling out an heat-seeking rocket launcher.
"Aced..." Pandaemonium stomped, pulling out an RPG rocket launcher.
"Put the toys down kiddies, observe." Seos San Nekros said, pointing at the ring.
Electronica Diablobicous sub-sided, the sight of Sion on one knee, his body giving off smoke. Jet-Black electricity pulsated around him as he struggled to get to his feet. Artemis looked at him with wide eyes. "Impressive. Not only were you able to absorb that much punishment, but you were able to escape three-fourths of the damage intended," he stated, taking Elecktron out of the ground. "When did you learn to use the elements in such a way?" he asked in a curious tone, adopting a battle stance.
Sion cracked a smile, shrugging off the extreme shock treatment. "That was quite shocking I would say," he snickered, his multi-colorful aura returning. "It's going to take more than that to put me down for the dirt nap." he stated firmly, summoning Enyuu, Broadsword of Fire and Earth.
Artemis twirled his blade around. "Want to swordplay? I can clearly see your intent!" he said as he lunged forth in blinding speed, swinging his blade down on Sion.
Sion parried the strike with an upper guard, fending him off with a shove of his flaming orange blade. He swung Enyuu horizontally, only to be evaded. Artemis and Sion went blow for blow, black electricity and fire could be seen after every impact of their hungry weapons. The crowd was going 'oh' and 'ah' as their mystic steel clashed.
Artemis thrusted the hilt of his weapon straight into Sion's jaw, his left hand giving off a unholy energy at the same time. "Avaska Laiza!" he shouted, a sphere of dark energy shooting out of his hand.
Sion tried to dodge, but was hit square in the chest with the sphere of dark energy. The sphere engulfed his body, imploding into a dark explosion a few moments later. His body was spinning like a drill towards the ground, hitting the ground with a loud thud, Enyuu disappearing on contact. "Oh!" the crowd said in harmony. Sion sat up, gripping his chest.
"Ouch, that really hurted!" he said in pain, kicking back up to his feet.
Artemis simply got back on stance. "Your sword fighting skills are quite sloppy with that blade, is it too heavy for you?" he taunted.
Sion answered with a martial arts stance. "Okay buddy, let me show you where I thrive in battle...Arashi!" he said hastily, disappearing in a motion blur.
Artemis tried to keep up with Sion's quick movements, swinging his blade in random places. Sion gave Artemis a wet willy. Sion laughed as he literally ran circles around Artemis. This made Artemis furious.
"When I catch you, your dead!" he yelled in anger.
Sion finally revealed himself with an hard uppercut to the gut, his Lionara packed with all four elementals. Artemis staggered back in pain, only to be struck in the ribs this time by a haymaker to the ribs.
"Get Some, Get Some, Get Some, Get Some!" Sion repeated over and over as his strikes connected, lighting Artemis's body up with speedy, high-impact, and mind-boggling blows from all directions. Sion finally launched Artemis into the air with a high-heel kick to his chin, Sion jumping up into the air like a speeding bullet.
"Feel this!" Sion said, punching Artemis in the face. Sion let loose a flurry of brutal strikes onto Artemis's pressure points, Artemis unable to defend himself; he was in too much pain. After his hellish combos, Sion hesitated, his body was processing so much power, he couldn't quite get a hold of himself. In just a few seconds, he was able to shrug it off, executing an elementally charged polish-hammer onto Artemis's forehead, sending him on a collision course for the ground. Sion started to rotate slowly in mid-air horizontally, eventually, his was spinning rapidly. Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Water elementals encasing him as he spun towards the ground. Artemis hit the ground first with a thunderous boom, Sion coming down on him with a momentous, spinning side heel-kick on his chest.
"Lionara Combo!" he shouted fiercely, Artemis calling out in excruciating pain. Sion did a barrel roll to his feet, breathing heavily, due to the mass amount of stress his body was going through. "That's what I'd like to call an instant kill quick." he said, dusting his hands off as the crowd roared with excitement, chanting his name.
The announcer looked on with amazement. "And the winner is-" he was cut short by a sudden gag, his eyes glowing red. "Artemis Kramen." he said demonic-like. His voice was that of Artemis's, the crowd and Sion alike looking at him with widened eyes.
"How'd you...what the..you can...?" Sion stuttered, unable to comprehend how Artemis could escape such a beat down.
Artemis had possessed the announcer; his body was a vessel for his vile spirit. "Surprised? They don't call me the King of Spirits for nothing," he said haughtily, giving a small, sick laugh. "If there's anyone with a power lower than mine in a 10 meter radius, I can jump straight out of my body and straight into theirs for about 30 minutes or so." he explained.
Sion dropped to one knee, his entire body cramping up after using so much power. "...When did you leave your body?"
Artemis smiled. "Before you smacked me down to the ground. While you were trying to shrug off the stress that technique was putting on you, I simply left the body, taking over the fool you see before you." Artemis explained. "Now, I must be returning to my body, the end begins." he said before leaving the announcer's body, the announcer dropping unconscious.
Artemis's banged up body floated up high into the sky, and started to undergo metamorphosis. The sky blackened, and the arena shook, black lightning rolling in the sky. Darkness began to rise, eclipsing the sun. Artemis's body was engulfed in a cloud of pure darkness, a cry of power filling the air as the entire area was covered in a dense, black fog. Sion looked on helplessly, still hurting from his last tactic. Everything died down, an unholy array of light shooting down from above, Artemis descending down from the demonic heavens. He was in a armor-like suit that could only be defined by one word; Chaos.
As he landed on the ground, everyone looked on in fearsome awe, Sion included. Artemis gave a small chuckle as he took a small step towards Sion.
"Welcome to Hell, Sion Lions. Allow me to give you the free tour!" he shouted in an outburst of power, his body going through another quick change. Out of nowhere, there were four tentacles that emerge from his spine; three spikes akin to horns that emerged from his ribcage seconds later. Artemis lunged forth like a howling demon, shoving his heavy black gauntlet straight into Sion's gut, then elbowing him straight into his thoracic vertebrae. Artemis finished his combo by catching Sion's leg with a tentacle, brutally slamming him to the ground several times before tossing him several yards across the ring, near the edge of the ring. Sion coughed up blood as he struggled to sit up, so much pain going through his body, his stomach was literally numb. Artemis laughed in triumph. "I could tear you in two right now, but where's the fun in that?" he said, laughing again. Sion slowly extended his left arm out as he got to his feet, static starting to pulsate.
"Hm, what's this?" he asked, looking on. "Using your life's energy to muster up enough strength, yes? This must really be your last stand. Very well...come!" he challenged, adopting an defensive stance.
Sion abruptly gave a small chuckle, his eyes going primal.
"You must really be delusional if you think this is my last stand. You look a little thirsty!" he said fiercely, his adrenaline starting to pump as his left gauntlet started to crackle with frenzied blue lightning. He dashed forth, his multi-colored aura following behind him. "Thunder Crash!" he called, throwing his left hand forward with all his might, rolling thunder and lightning shining brightly as it came mere inches away from making contact.
"Your off guard! Ha!" Artemis said, thrusting his fist outwards, dark energy bursting outwards. Sion wasn't there, evading Artemis's tormenting fist, using Hydros to splash water in his face. Artemis looked around alarmed, on guard. "Where are you?" he yelled in anger, looking around. Sion was moving like the wind, water being left everywhere as he moved around the ring. Sion stopped moving, leaving a trace of water everywhere he went. Artemis laughed.
"Idiot! Your carrying raw electrical power with you as you throw water all over the place?" he asked.
Sion smiled. "Look around you, look at yourself, look at me, then say I'm F-ed." he said with a guile grin.
Artemis was all wet in a puddle of water. He was in the middle of a smiley face of water, Sion left with just enough safe distance to watch the soon-to-be show.
"Thunder Crash!" Sion shouted, slamming his hand onto the ground. Lightning was racing all around the ring in all directions, Artemis right in the middle of it all. Being so wet, Artemis was defenseless, the shock filling the ring as Sion dropped to one knee.
The crowd roared as the smoke cleared, the ring battered and scarred. But there was something wrong...Artemis was still standing. Everyone looked on, Sion's eyes widening. "No!" he said in surprise, slamming his fist on the ground. Artemis stood tall, unaffected by the guaranteed K.O. He walked towards Sion slowly, summoning a jewel-encrusted dagger with a gilded hilt, which measured at nine inches in length; just enough to pierce a vital. "This armor is made from the purest form of electricity, similar to Raizan's." he explained, spinning his dagger around. Sion was breathing heavily, his vision growing blurry with each passing second. "Your attempt was quite witty. Perhaps a bit too witty for you." he said, taking another step forward. "You put up a valiant effort against me Lions. I feel as though you could've done more, but you have a limit." he stated, gripping his dagger tightly, he was just a few feet away from his target. "You misunderstood your own power, and you've fallen." he said, standing over Sion. Sion was ready to black out, but threw a desperate punch to Artemis. Artemis caught his hand with one tentacle, and slammed his face into the ground with another. "But theres something about you that I just can't figure out..." Artemis said rather slowly, grabbing Sion by the neck with a tentacle, holding him up high in the air. "What gives you strength? What drives you?" he asked curiously, holding the dagger close to his heart. "Only an incompetent fool could misunderstand his own power...but, only the truly skilled could've pulled off such orthodox tactics." Artemis noted, recalling the smiley face made of water, and the Lionara Combo. "You've no mortal morals, you say what you want, but you've of great honor and virtue. Your reckless, yet you know what your doing. Your incompetent, yet skilled. A man of your character bewilders even me." Artemis said, glaring at Sion expectingly.
Sion struggled to laugh, his life was on the edge. He gave a final toothy grin, everything was silent.
"You can never be too moral. You'll cheat yourself out of life. Me? I aim above morality. I don't have to be good at all; but I have be good for something." he stated firmly. "I live the way I want. You and I are very much alike Artemis. I get my strength from pure endeavor, it's what I've constructed my life from." Sion announced proudly. "You wouldn't know, your not good for anything. King of Spirits? Sike, King of B*tches more like-"
Artemis brought Sion close to him with a violent jerk stabbing him in the heart. "Your life has ended, so it doesn't matter anymore." Artemis said coldly, dropping him to the ground.
Artemis walked off, dispelling his dagger about to step out of the ring. Sion's body was suddenly wrapped in an fiery golden-brown aura, Artemis turning around swiftly.
"What? I struck him in a vital, but he still lives?" Artemis asked, summoning Elecktron, and another weapon named Zapdron. Zapdron was shorter than Elecktron, but resembled it in every way.
Sion gave a small laugh, but it was different; it sounded like a beast. "A Senitelian heart isn't on the left side of the chest; it's on the right." he said slowly, violently shaking. A bright light blinding everyone as he roared. After the light sub-sided, it was the sight of a multi-colored, glowing figure standing where Sion once stood. As the glow subsided, Sion's hair was extremely sharp, like that of the mane of the Lion. He had very dark, thunder-bolt shaped tribal signs going down his eyes, more focusing around the eye area. He had rather dark lines appearing to be whiskers on his cheek, and primal golden brown eyes that represented the ferocity of a true beast. His face was still like before, but with a mean mug to it. His muscles were a bit more pumped than that of before. He had fangs, and a tail that swiped across the floor. He summoned Raizan, Twin Sword of Lightning in answer to Artemis's Elecktron and Zapdron combo.
Vegeta and Nappa came out of nowhere.
"Vegeta, check his power level." Nappa requested.
"Okay, let's see..." he said, pressing the button on his scouter, checking Sion's power level. Vegeta's eyes widened.
"Well? What is it?" he asked.
"It's over Wun Thowzand!" Vegeta yelled, smashing his scouter.
"Well, that's not all that bad." Nappa replied to Vegeta's anger.
"No wonder your not in the future episodes..." Vegeta sighed.
"Last stand, you and me." Sion challenged, twirling his blades around.
Artemis stood expectingly, walking towards Sion, his power pumped to the max. "This must be the power you were talking about. Obtained through endeavor eh? Fine, let it be the end!" he said.
Both fighters charged at each with everything they had. Both of them exchanging blade strikes blow for blow. There was an electrical field that surrounded the area, discharge of jet-black electricity and golden electricity pouring out of the arena every time their blades clashed. There was also blood flying about, both of them cutting each other with powerful strokes. It was an high-impact, intense battle, Simon and Artemis roaring as they struck each other at the same time. It was a stand-off on who would fall first. Sion dropped to one knee, blood splattering on the ground. "Artemis..." Sion called, holding his side.
"Final words?" he asked, standing straight up.
"You dropped your pocket." Sion smiled, dispelling his Raizan, and returning to normal form.
Artemis looked down, his face was split. He was cut over 60 times. Not only physically, but spiritually, Sion's blades cut to Artemis's spirit also.
"No!!!!" Artemis yelled as his being melted away, completely eradicated.
The crowd roared and cheered, Sion giving a thumbs up as he walked out of the ring. "You damn right that's my name!" Sion said as he staggered like a drunk to the locker room, his clothing torn and ripped in all places. He was all bloodied up, battered and scarred. His buttocks could be seen in the back of his pants, and everyone started laughing.
Pandaemonium flipped the judge table over, Testvirus101 shot someone, and Cataclysm was enjoying his awarded barrel of illegally obtained substances, he had won the bet.
"Alls well that ends well I always say." Cataclysm said in victory, drinking his winnar liquor. The announcer from Mortal Kombat came out of nowhere.
"Flawless Victory!" he added.
Pooly came out of the dark room. "Is the bad man gone? It's okay sweetie, no one shall have you." Pooly said insanely, petting his Wii.
King of Hell raised an eyebrow. "Really, you two need to get a room."
Pooly locked himself in the dark room yet again, this time for personal reasons. "Oh my..don't tell me he's..." King of Hell said.
"Wii is cool and all, but he didn't have to take it so seriously." Cervantes De Leon added.
There was a loud and obnoxious noise, Xtreme gamer riding in a giant harvester. "I'm back peoplez!" Xtreme shouted, sounding the horn on the harvester filled with crap..literal crap.
"Chocolate Pies for all you bastards!" Xtreme laughed insanely, a cannon shooting chocolate pies at the Supercheats Staff.
"Oh sh*t! Hit the deck!" King of Hell said, getting under a woman's dress.
"Sh*t is right!" Testvirus101 said, opening an umbrella.
"I'm tired of this sh*t!" Cervantes De Leon shouted, running into the locker room.
"I was just bull sh*tting with X, I didn't think he'd take it to this extent!" Pandaemonium said, dodging crap.
"Holy sh*t! Grab the booze! Make haste!" Cataclysm yelled.
"You know, I'm feeling really sh*tty right now..." Seos San Nekros said, covered in it.
Xtreme ran over a few people, going completely crazy. It seemed as though Xtreme was going to win for once, he had complete control. Shao Kahn came to the rescue with his hammer, destroying the harvester.
"Gee, thanks a lot Shao Kahn!" the Supercheats Staff said in harmony.
"Everybody gets one." Shao Kahn said before leaving.
Xtreme got up, looking at everyone. "Sorry, just got a little carried away-"
He was knocked to the ground, everyone stomping Xtreme into the ground. He was being shot, stabbed, abused, sexually abused, harassed in every way possible, slaved, vaporized, and getting a series of neck-punches from Pandaemonium.
"You took too god damn long, and you bring us this crap?" Pandaemonium said, punching him several times.
Xtreme got beaten down worse than Rodney King.
"Seriously, we've lost all faith in you, it's gonna take a century to atone for your sins." Seos San Nekros said, dropping his morning star.
"But some good did come out of this..." Xtreme said in pain, trying to turn over.
"What?" King of Hell asked, ready to pound him again.
"I just saved money on my car insurance by switching to Geiko." he stated.
The beating went on for weeks, Xtreme never forgiven for what he had done.
