The HDC Fight of the Realms

[bwind22]

You gave me the same weapon twice. If I'm not allowed to use it twice, then I'll only have 3 unique weapons.

[The Gate Master]

Humblest apologies Bwind22, I made a mistake.

[bwind22]

No problemo. I'll leave mine as is.

[The Gate Master]

Both contenders glare at each other, the true nature of the round sinking in. There could be no remorse. Bwind22 looks up and shouts out

"GATE 4!"

The stone archway shudders, then the familiar swirling begins once again.

"After you..." Says Bwind22, calmly. Scouse Mac glares at him, then walks through the gate, followed closely by Bwind22. They are in another hall. The Grey Realm. Both of them repeat the same process as before and speak their chosen weapon into the hole in the wall. They step away from the wall and stare at each other.

"FIGHT!"

The bolts of lightning, now Grey, shoot down from the ceiling and, when cleared, the two have their weapons in their hands. Scouse Mac is brandishing the Mace, holding it behind him, ready to swing over his shoulder. Bwind22 is once again holding The War Hammer. He winks at Scouse Mac and steps slowly towards him, ready to swing the hammer down on his head once again.

Scouse Mac slowly walks backwards, as though in fear. Bwind22 smiles, swings the Hammer high and is bringing it down when the mace slams into his ribcage, slamming him backwards and cracking a few of his ribs. The Mace disappears in sparks and there is the sickening sound of ribs refusing. Bwind22 stands up, full of anger, and runs as Scouse Mac. He swings the Warhammer and it misses. He swings it again, sideways this time. Scouse Mac tries to run but the Hammer follows through and collides with his back, launching him into the wall. His spine crunches back into place as the hammer disappears.

Scouse Mac used the Mace to inflict 4 damage on Bwind22.

Bwind22: 20/25 Health

Bwind22 used the warhammer to inflict 3 damage on Scouse Mac.

Gate Grey 4

[The Gate Master]

The two contestants waste no time.

"GREY FOUR!" Shouts Scouse Mac, and the gate swirls open. The two of them walk through, Scouse Mac limping slightly. They arrive in a large hall made of red stone. They are in the Red Realm.

Scouse Mac and Bwind22 walk over to the small holes in the wall and speak their choices very quickly. As they step back to their places in the room, Scouse Mac smiles malevolently and Bwind22 suddenly feels a shiver down his spine.

The bolts of lightning come down and strike both of them, and when they clear, Bwind22's mouth drops open in shock and fear. Scouse Mac is holding the Crossbow and has three bolts in a small pack on his back. However, not only is he holding that but he is also holding the Scepter. The small ruby on the end of it is glowing slightly.

Bwind22 is holding the Halberd, it's silver blade glinting slightly in the lights thrown from the torches along the walls.

"FIGHT!"

Bwind22 runs at Scouse Mac, but he isn't fast enough and Scouse Mac holds the Scepter forward. A red trail of energy shoots up the scepter's engraved shapes and flies from the end of the jewel, traveling at immense speed. It smashes into Bwind22's chest, and when the energy has disappeared, A large hole the size of a dinner plate is left in his chest, smoldering. The edges of the hole glow red and it repairs itself. He groans painfully, then makes another run for Scouse Mac, who's scepter disappears in red sparks.

Scouse Mac reacts too fast for him though and quickly loads the crossbow, firing it into Bwind22's leg. He stumbles and falls to the ground. As he gets up, another bolt smashes through Bwind22's collar bone. He yells out in pain but uses the halberd to help himself up. As he does so, he's thrown backwards by yet a third bolt into his ribs. The bolts, like the scepter, disintegrate into red sparks, and the wounds heal.

Bwind22 gets to his feat, furious and in pain. Ignoring his still hurting leg, he rushes at Scouse Mac who, is far at the other end of the hall. Bwind22 keeps running at Scouse Mac who at the last second tries to run to one side. Bwind22 swings the Halberd which promptly decapitates Scouse Mac. Bwind22 spits angrily at Scouse Mac's twitching body. The neck and head both let out sparks and rush towards each other, joining.

"I would say don't lose your head so much, but it would be a bit hypocritical of me." Says Scouse Mac, smirking. Bwind22 holds up his middle finger.

"I'm cooking something up, be sure of that..." he replies.



Scouse Mac used the Scepter and Crossbow to inflict 8 points of damage on Bwind22.

Bwind22: 12/25 Health

Bwind22 used the Halberd to inflict 3 points of damage on Scouse Mac.

Scouse Mac: 16/25 Health


This has certainly changed the bookie's estimates. However, things have a way of changing at the last minute. Bwind22, please choose a gate, and both of you please send me a private message with your weapon of choice. Remember, this is the last of the starting period. After this, you can use each weapon once every two turns.

You have until Sunday at 12:00pm EST. Don't be late...

[bwind22]

gate 3....

[The Gate Master]

The two contestants don't even acknowledge each other as they step through the third gate, walking one after the other. They arrive in a bright room where the torches on the walls are barely needed. The are in the White Realm.

They both walk straight to the holes and speak their weapon of choice, which is the last of their five. They step back to their positions with scowls on their faces. The familiar lightning bolts strike them both and as they fade they both hold their weapons.

Bwind22 is holding the Longsword. He holds it in both hands and smiles as he looks across at Scouse Mac who is brandishing, like Bwind22 did last round, the Halberd. Neither of them even jump when the voice booms down on them.

"FIGHT!"

Both of them run at each other, letting out war cries as they do, the ferocity they had been keeping down for fear of losing their concentration set free. They both swing their weapons. The long sword slashes across, cutting off millimeters of Scouse Mac's hair. The Halberd blade then comes in, but Bwind22 ducks and it soars over his head.

Bwind22 pulls the Longsword back, then drives it directly into Scouse Mac's heart. He yells out in pain and drops the Halberd. Bwind22 pulls back the sword just as it dissolves into sparks of white. He leans down to Scouse Mac's body and wipes his hand across the wound. He smiles as he wipes the blood over his forehead and licks his fingers.

As the wound in Scouse Mac heals, Bwind22 quickly reaches for the Halberd, but as he touches it, a flash of white sends him one hundred feet into the air, straight to the ceiling. He grabs onto an ornate carving of a demon's face set into the ceiling by one his fingers and dangles there, barely holding himself up. Scouse Mac gets to his feet and looks around him. He looks up at the sound of Bwind22's struggles and smiles. He picks up the Halberd and holds it at the ready.

His fingers weaken and Bwind22 falls from the ceiling, flailing around as he does. Just as he nears the stone floor, Scouse Mac swings the Halberd up vertically and it cuts Bwind22's torso and head in half from groin to head. The two pieces slam down to the floor in a bloody mess of bones and guts. They glow white and all fit back together. Bwind22 winces in pain as he moves and Scouse Mac winks at him.

"NEXT GATE, SCOUSE MAC!"


Bwind22 used the longsword to inflict 4 damage to Scouse Mac

Scouse Mac: 12/25 health

Scouse Mac used the Halberd to inflict 3 damage to Bwind22.

[scouse mac]

White 1......

[The Gate Master]

Once again, no pleasantries or even jibes are exchanged as the two contestants limp through the first gate. They appear in the room of blood red walls. They are in the Red Realm.

The two of them are reminded by the booming voice of the rules and walk over to the holes in the walls where they speak their choice of weapons. They each laugh to themselves slightly as they walk back to their spots, proud of their decisions. Confident. The bolts of lightning strike them both.

Bwind22 is holding the longsword, his hands clutching the handle so tightly with anger that they have a slight purple tinge to them. But not only is he holding the Longsword, but he is wearing the solid silver Plate Armor.

Scouse Mac looks back at him holding similar looking objects in both hands. In his right he holds the Scepter, it's golden handle and ruby red stone glinting in the light of the torches. In the other, he holds onto the Mace, it's dull grey color not matching the other weapon.

"FIGHT!"

Before Bwind22 can even run two steps, he is launched backwards by the red energy expelling from the ruby tip of the scepter. He smashes hard into the wall behind him. There is a hole in his chest one more, but it appears the metal armor took a lot of the impact, it's dented front painfully digging into Bwind22's chest. The hole heals and Bwind22's eyes open.

Scouse Mac laughs and runs to Bwind22's body as he is still getting up. He flails the mace up high to swing it down but as he stands over Bwind22, who is still hunched down, the longsword drives up into the bottom of his jaw. Taken aback, he drops the mace.

"Not...that...EASY!"

He puts a bit more force behind the longsword and it painfully jabs at Scouse Mac's brain. A slight tear drops down Scouse Mac's cheek, then Bwind22 thrusts the sword up through his skull, and no sooner has it broke through the bone than it fizzles out into red sparks. Bwind22 gets to his feet and spits on Scouse Mac's body. The wound glows red, then heals.

Bwind22 calmly sits down, knowing that there is no other alternative than to accept the pain that is about to consume him. He closes his eyes as the sound of the mace being picked up echoes through the halls. "Scum." Says Scouse Mac bluntly, then the sound of whooshing slightly, and Bwind22's brains are scattered all over the floor. They glow red and piece back together,

"NEXT ROUND!" Says the voice of The Gate Master.


Scouse Mac used the Scepter and the Mace to inflict 5 and 4 damage to Bwind22, however the plate armor reduced these amount to 3 and 2.

Bwind22: 4/25 health

Bwind22 used the Longsword to inflict 4 damage to Scouse Mac

Scouse Mac: 8/25 health


The next round could be the last...make it memorable. You both know the drill by now. Bwind22, it is your turn to choose the gate. Remember...your choice may benefit you in this last round. And both weapons to me. The deadline is Sunday at 12:00pm EST. Don't be late...
