BATTLE! Team Mystic VS Team Gusketeers (block3)

[Gus]

As Gus struggles to light the fire for his marshmallows, he notices that his opponents have finally arrived. He is about to walk over and greet them, when he sees a girl throwing the guy opponent a pair of pants legs!!

"uh... Syn? Do we have anyone giving us clothes?"

Syn looks at him funny. "No..."

"What about dancing squids and monsters?"

"No..."

"Hm... then where is our entertainment?!?!"

Gus thinks. Finally, it comes to him.

"Ahah! We can set off fireworks!"

"But... Gus, we don't have any fireworks!"

"Oh don't we? I have gunpowder in my tent!"

"Why do you have.. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?"

Gus throws a match onto his tent. Suddenly, a look of realization dawns on his face. "Oh crap."

Luckily, the wetness of the sticks had spread to the tent. And the gunpowder. Nothing blew up.

Syn: "Yay! We're saved!"

Gus: "WHAT!?!? This is terrible! Now we have no entertainment! NONE!"



Geo looks over at the enemy camp. The tall girl... or is it just a boy with long hair? Whoever it is is yelling at his teammate. Now he's... crying.

Geo: "hmm... what a strange team!"

[Gus]

((sorry to double post, but since no one else is starting the fight...))

Gus gets up and goes to Meru's tent. "Meru, c'mon out! Our fight starts soon!"

Meru walks out, her long white trenchcoat, emblazoned with a small "X" surrounded by the letters, "L", "A", "W", and "S", swirling in the wind. "Wow" thinks Gus, "this whole X-Law thing seems to be becoming something of an obsession!"

Meru looks at Gus coldly, then says, "I know the fight's about to start. Now get out of my face before I rip out your heart with my bare hands." As she walks away, Gus turns to Syn. "What was that all about?"

Syn sighs. "Don't you remember? That picture you drew really upset her!"

[flashback]

Meru walks into Gus' tent.
Meru: hey Gus, whatcha doin'?
Gus: drawin' a picture.
Meru: Whatcha drawin?
Gus: Well, here's that dude with the cool pants dropkicking the lady in that bucket
Meru: WHAT?
Gus: and here's that little afro guy backfisting that blonde pedo guy.
Meru: WHAT!?!?
Gus: And this, this is that preisty guy, Lucas, or whatever his name is, doing a flying kick into that kid wit' the green hair. Y'know, Mr. Pedo's likkle boyfreind.
Meru: WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[end flashback]

"Hmm... that might've had something to do with it..."

Suddenly, Gus notices he's alone. Everyone else, and a Patch guy, are standing in the center of the stadium glaring at him.

"Oh! Coming!"

As Gus reaches the center, the Patch man yells out.

"SHAMAN MATCH: START!"

[Vasuki]

((OOC: Thanks for starting it Gus ^_^..))

Geo walks calmly up to the center of the stadium, confidant no one would attack him.

Geo: "Vasuki, rest for now, lets see how this plays out.... Anisoterra, into the rod....."

A small glow emenated from the fishing rod as the Dragonfly spirit entered it, forming a bizzare sword like structure out of furyoku, although, it seemed quite dim and weak....

Geo: "So, lets see here...lets figure out the weaknesses of this team shall we?"

Gus: "What the hell is that guy mumbling about?"

Syn: "Gus...I am unsure if I can....fight him...."

Gus: "What? why? I don't want to fight that weirdo"

Syn: "Back home....there were legends.....there was...an accident....this kid....got this mysterious poisoning...."

Gus: "And this has to do with what?"

Syn: "Nervermind.... I'll oversoul, let me take the small girl, should be easy."

Meru: "I shall take the leader then if you two refuse....."

Gus: "Right, I take the other girl then..."

Suddenly, Geo turned to the team, smiled at Gus and spoke...

Geo: "So...you are the famous Gus I keep hearing about...."

Gus: "I see my reputation has become common knowledge, you likily have learned to fear my strength..."

Geo:"No, actually, I just hear you like poping up and ranting about your dark past..."

Gus: "What?!?!"

Geo: "The Words of the roads also say that you have a huge train that you use to fight, that is pretty funny...."

Gus: "Bring it freaK!!!!"

Gus's coat instantly glows as wings and claws sprout from the material. And he lunges at Geo!

Geo smiles, and stands ready for Gus's assult

Geo: "Darter strike!"

Standing firlmly on the ground, Geo was skratched by Gus's claws imensely, tearing up his vest and pants.... Geo fell to the ground while wincing from the cuts on his arms...

Gus: "I thought you were supposed to be strong or something, you dissapoint me...."

Geo:"I thought you were supposed to be able to fly...."

Gus looked at his shoulders and noticed his left wing has a stab wound in it, making him unable to fly....

Gus: "No way....."

Geo: "Everyone has a herculese's heal......"

Gus: "You mean...ACK!!!!!"

Geo: "Oh yah, I guess I am a little weak on my Greek history, you are correct Gus, it is "achilles" heal.....

Oh, I guess that ack, was from you realizing how faulty a leader you are huh?"

Gus looked around and noticed that the girls were all fighting each other, messing up his original plans....

Geo: "Heh, looks like it is just the leaders now...."

Gus: "Looks like it....."

Geo: "Good thing, because, you know, Miruna there has a zombie as a spirit..."

Gus: "WHAT, ZOMBIES?! WHERE?!!"

Geo lunged at Gus's right wing with his attack. With an "Ugh" Gus stumbled as Geo jumped back to his original position...

Geo: "My mistake...she has a vampire...."#nosmileys

[Gus]

"ungh..."

With a burst of light, he wings reform.

Geo: "Wha- how'd ya do that?"

Gus: "Heh, isn't it obvious? Instead of making a whole new oversoul, I simply expended enough mana to make new wings. AND I DON'T TALK ABOUT MY PAST! UNLESS YOU CAN READ MY THOUGHTS, BACK OFF!"

His black wings rise into the sky. They extend, and the area around them darkens...

"Soul's Ghibli!"

Geo is blasted by a wall of darkness. "How strange", he thinks. " My body is fine, but my head... It feels like it's burning..."

((note: Ghibli is a sweet little combination, combining the Studio where Miyazaki works to the Italian word for a southern wind))

Geo's teammates look at him funny as he clutches his head in pain.

Suddenly, Meru leaps into the fray, her whips flying around, striking the girl nearest her with welts that would be identical if not for the fact that one was black and the other glowed like a rainbow...

[Vasuki]

Geo runs around frantically trying to figure out what is wrong with his head...

Seeing an opportunity to attack, Meru shifts targets....

She continually whips him as he barely manages to dodge every single blow....or, rather, he danced around in pain dodging the blows by luck...he really wasnt in a position to dodge right now....

Geo thinks to himself... my brain....it is normally chaotic...this...must be an attack....but how can I fight it....how can I....

Your depression is masked by your obscure actions, you are bound to destroy yourself from the inside you know.”


Meru: "Stop that, incolent fool, prepare for the end...."

Meru's whipping becomes more and more rapid as Geo stops, absorbing every blow.....

Gus: "What? But how could you...why...could you...."

Geo: "Read your thoughts?, glad you asked.....it is an ancient art I learned from...."

Vasuki appears suddenly

Vasuki: "Master, give it up....this is a real battle, no time for sillyness...."

Geo: "What?"

Vasuki: "You can't read minds master Geo...."

Geo: "I can't?"

Vasuki: "No...you just spy on people....."

Geo: "Same thing...."

Gus and Meru stood back watching Geo and Vasuki argue....as their team mate defended herself against Miruna and Cory's attacks.

Gus: "What...is up with that guy...it is like...he thinks this is a game...."

Meru: "Why would he just take our attacks head on, at this rate...he is going to be out in five more minutes...."

Suddenly Syn calls out from her fray

Syn: "Gusketeers, watch your back!"

Meru and Gus turned in shock to see Geo and Vasuki had dissapeared....

Geo then appeared behind the two....

Geo: "Yo, Gus, that head attack thing was really annoying, but it sure was cool, lets see if I can do something like that...one moment....hmmm, lets see...Chiroterra, spiritual shift! Replace the Dragonfly!"

Geo held out his rod, which had now changed shape into what was somewhat of a megaphone shape....

Gus: "What do you think you are doing?"

Geo: "Well, I figured that spicy mind attack of yours was pretty cool, so, I figured I would try it out..."

Gus: "Try...out....my attack, what kinda loser are you? Attacks take at least months to learn........

Geo: "Soul's Guano!!!!!!!"

Geo thought to himself as he fires...."crap...mabey this was a bad idea, the megaphone will probably affect, nay, kill all the people in the stadium.......well, too late now..........."

A tiny burst of sonar putted out of the "Rodophone", and tapped itself on Gus's head....

Gus: "And that was supposed to be a copy of my attack?..."

Geo: "Yah, I guess it is broken or something...."

Geo turns the object opening down to inspect what could be the problem, when a powerful blast of furyoku roketted into the ground shaking the very foundation of the stadium....

All shamans are relatively unharmed, but they all turn to Geo expecting he would have the answer to his own attack...

Geo blushes and looks confused at the stares, and then puts his arms behind his shoulders and tries to explain...

Geo: "Uhm, I guess I can't copy attacks afterall...it just sorta used the basic principles of Bat sonar and converted it into a shamanic attack...."

Gus: "What?"

Meru: "What?"

Miruna: "What?"

Geo: "What?"

Vasuki: "What the.... Ok Geo, lets get this over with, Chiroterra, Im taking your place, out of the rod you bat....."

Vasuki forces himself into Geo's rod, producing Geo's trademark spear weapon.

Vasuki: "Alright it's Naga time..."naga time?"...what am I saying........."

Geo: "Can we fight the deer girl now Vas? this guy is a little loud."

Vasuki: "True, but would you really fight a female?"

Geo: "Well, I don't know....she does have that spirit thing....and she did hear about what I did a year or so ago, hmm, so many choices...I could attack that white coat girl aswell....that would be fun...so many options......."

Vasuki: "They are female though, are you saying you have overcome your fear, will you are finnaly proceeding to the next level of power, will you finnaly triumph over your....."

Vasuki sees Geo look up at the stands, he then sees Alicia, although he is already cringing at this point, he manages to see Alicia wink at Geo, and, concequently, see Geo blush, and lose all focus....

Vasuki: " MASTER GEO!!!!!!!!!!!"

Geo: "Sorry Vasuki, I was thinking about how I was going to....."

Vasuki: "Not now.... walk up to that kid with the long hair and wings growing out of the trenchcoat, and stab me into his meat, you win, that is how you battles were won in my time, and it will work now, got it?"

Geo: "Oh...my...word.....trenchcoat.... this man is a disiple of Mr. Trenchcoat, he must be defeated!"

Vasuki: "Whatever makes you happy kid, lets go!"

[Pinkechidna]

Suzaku: "WILL YOU STOP WINKING AT HIM?! DO YOU WANT TO GET HIM KILLED?!"

Alicia: "Oh! Geez, I am a distraction, aren't I? Heh, maybe I should leave until the battle's through."

Akio: "I think he's like it better if you stayed."

Minako: "Just encourage him, don't come on to him."

Alicia: "I am not coming on to him! Ah, whatever. KICK THEIR ASSES GEO AND, um, what the two girls names? Um.....AND COMPANY!"

Miruna and Cory glared at Alicia.

[synsan]

"Gusketeers, watch your back!" cries Syn, as she launches another spirit arrow at Miruna and Cory. The attack is a miss, and hits the ground only a few inches away, shielding the two Mystics behind a thick cloud of dust.

Geo, and his spirit Vasuki, had just disappeared.

Damnit! Syn tears her gaze from her two teammates, and prepares her bow. Team Mystic's leader is out of sight -- There... there's just too much going on!

Just then, Cory came lunging out of the haze, her sword directed for the Gusketeer's oversoul. Syn let another of her glowing arrows fly, this time, colliding with her target and knocking the sword clear from the shorter girl's hand.

"Ungh... Kallisto!" gasps the girl, as her sword lands, handle-up in the sand. She glares up at Syn, who is now on the look out for Miruna, and spits over her shoulder.

"I don't need a sword to kick your ass!" she hisses, leaping into a battle stance.

Syn raises an eyebrow, a fresh arrow drawn tightly to her bow.

"I'm sorry, but you're not much of a threat to me any more," she says tonelessly, "Now... where is your friend, Miruna..."



(( OOC: I apologize for the slow reply! It's been almost too busy a week.. -_-;

Um.. TheRogue! This doesn't necessarily mean your finished, Syn has just become a bit of a big head. ))

[Mystic]

Miruna watches as Syn breakes Cory's with Kallisto.
Cory: "I don't need a sword to kick your ass!" she hisses, leaping into a battle stance.
Seing Cory's arm being hurt by Syn's arrow Miruna decides it's time to drop in.
"you shall pay for that!" Miruna screams showing up from beside and taking Syn by surprise. Syn manages to counter her attack but she is thrown asside.
"Vlad! Prepare for a final attack! Nobody messes with my friends!" Miruna shouted gathering her furioku. Just before striking she notices something.

Alicia: "I am not coming on to him! Ah, whatever. KICK THEIR ASSES GEO AND, um, what the two girls names? Um.....AND COMPANY!"

She turns to Cory:"....ummm....What?.....those 2 will surely make an odd couple!"
Cory lookes at her and say:"They sure will!...Now...Didn't you have something to do??"
Miruna turns around looking confused: "Ooooo.....yah.....don't we have time for something before that? Geo seams to handle it pretty good! Now where's that man who sales chocolate?" and starts looking in the seat's place?!?(lack of inspiration)

"You lost your mind? Where in the middle of a fight!" Cory sais picking up her sword.

Miruna:''....Whatever!....."

Cory's thoughts:
Geo is blushing over there looking as his little girlfriend to be, Miruna is looking for chocolate...stupid girl.....It seams that everything depends on me now! So Kallisto...lets get to work!

(OOC: Man that trip to the bar was a fast one! I don't even know when we got back!! ;D)

[Vasuki]

Cory rolls over to her sword, barely dodging multiple spiritual arrows, but manages to pick up the sword.

With might, she holds out the sword, and points it at Syn

Cory: "Lets do this Kallisto..."

Suddenly, Kallisto's body forms at the end of the sword....

Not seeing Geo as a thret for now, Gus was observing the rest of the battle...then he saw it, one of the most magificant things he had ever seen in the tournament. He didn't know how such a thing could happen. He flew infront of Cory inbetween Syn, who, looked rather confused, and spoke to the short girl....

Gus: "Your....spirit....is...XENA!??! That is SO cool!"

Geo seemed to snap back to reality....he sorta lost all the red which was in his face, and his normal colour aswell.... He ran over to Miruna's side, and the both sorta looked shocked at Gus......

Geo: "Fire in the hole!!!!!"

Miruna: "Whatever that means, do something Geo!"

Geo: "Like what?"

Vasuki: "Forget it, just oversoul me into the something to form a sheild, this isn't gonna be pretty....."

Geo: "Alright....Geo gets out, what appears to be another turtle shell....."

Vasuki: "WHAT? I Thought that thing was charred!?"

Geo: "Heh, that was Genbu's shell, this is the Native Canadian turtle spirit's shell, Vasuki, into the shell!"

"Turtle Island Sheild!"

Suddenly a plated sheild sprouted from Geo's hand, making a half circle guard against what was sure to be a furious attack.....

Vasuki: "Geo........make me into a turtle one more time and...."

Geo and Miruna jumped on top of their sheild so they could see the action...

Cory looked down at the ground, a glimer of power shined in her eye...

Cory: "She"

Gus looked confused...

Cory: "Is NOT"

Gus looked a little worried...

Cory: "XENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cory cried out to the heavens

Gus looked, arguably more worried...but, more confused aswell...

Suddenly, Cory's furyoku glowed, as her sword began to pulsate with power....she mumbled something about an ultimate attack, at which point, Geo and Miruna jumped back behind Vasuki's annoyed protection...

Syn/Meru: "What the....."

[Mystic]

(OOC: LOL!!! ;D
That was so funny!
I just can't wait to see what will happen next!-no inspiration coming from over here
I'm curious about what TheRogue will respond)

[TheRogue]

(OOC: anyone who calls me 'shorter girl' again dies!

umm... I'll post here a lil' bit later cause right now i 'm going out)

[Gus]

((Xena who?))

As everyone battles on, Gus suddenly realizes why his team isn't winning... and decides to do something about it!

CULTIVATE YOUR HUNGER BE-FORE YOU I-DEALIZE!

Geo: That... that song!

MOTIVATE YOUR ANGER, TO MAKE THEM A-REALIZE!

Miruna: Where have I heard it...

CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN, NEVER COMING DOWN!

Cory: It's... it's so cool...

BREAK INTO THE CONTENTS, NEVER FALLING DOWN!

Meru: Oh! That's, "The Wind"! That song from Naruto!

DOO, DOODOODOO! DOO, DOODOODOO. DOO, DOODOODOO, DOO, DOODOO!

Syn: But where's it coming fr- oh god.

They all look over, to see Gus singing at the top of his lungs.

The stadium grows silent. Everyone stares.

DON'T TRY, TO LIVE SO W- OW!!!

Gus: "Damn, the other team musta attacked m- SYN! IT WAS YOU! WHY!

Syn: Damn fool. You're making our team look retarded.

Meru: Yeah. I'm ashamed.

Gus looks down, ashamed.

Geo: actually, I thought it was pretty cool...

[synsan]

"Don't encourage him..." mumbles Syn, as she pinches the bridge of her nose with her free hand.

She noticed, that some time after Geo had summoned his Turtle Island Shield, the usual, gentle rythm of Elk's spiritual energy had begun to fluctuate.

It was giving her a headache.

Elk. This has never happened before... Syn lets her arm drop to her side.

"Hey, Syn.."

That Geo character... does he have anything to do with it?

"Syn?"

So, are the legends true? Or not?

"Syn, wake the hell up!" Gus grabs a fist full of sand, and throws it at his teammate, snapping her clear from her reverie.

The girl stares, dumbfounded, at their leader.

"When this is over, you can day dream all you want," he says irritably; then turning to Meru, he adds, "Now, let's go!"


(( OOC: Sorry if this post seems a little self-centred, I didn't want to resume the fighting, just in case someone had other things planned.. >> ))

[Vasuki]

Geo: "Hmmm, nice song, it must be another one of his hidden attacks...I must counter it, but how...hmmmmm....

*cue ackward singing voice*

We are Fiiiighting Da-remers!....do-do-do-do-do-do-dee-dee.....Fighting Da-reamers....naryfuku kamuwazu, Fighting Da-reamers, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do just go my way....."

Geo looks around and blushes....

Geo: "I don't sing very often you know, it is....

Geo notices Cory and Gus, and Meru and Miruna has started to fight again.....

Geo looks around to see Syn with her bow aimed directly at his head..... he then muttered one word, "excellent..."

Geo calmly walked closer to her position, with Vasuki formed into a spear in a defensive position.....

Syn: "Geo...your carefree pear eating will not fool me this time......"

Geo's face had changed from his normal, confused and nonchalant face, to one fairly serious, like he had a mission...

Geo: "Sorry, have we met before?...."

Syn: "Last time, I was unprepared......"

Geo: "Pear?!?!"

Syn: "Don't play dumb....after you destroyed that military spirit using Shaman, you turned to me, and attempted to break this very skull...."

Geo: "That creature you think is a deer, is as far as I can tell, a dangerous Púca spirit..."

Syn: "Pooka?.....like.....that old movie?"

Geo: "Dangit! you ruined my entire big mythological speech with that damn rabbit movie, yes, it is like that big invisible rabbit from that movie, but seriously, Púcas are much more serious in real life, I should know...."

Vasuki: "Master....you do not need to...."

Geo: "I know, I won't tell her anything more....hopefully nothing will be activated much, I put faith in your skills Vasuki."

Vasuki: "Thank you master....."

Geo: "Anyways Syn, I am sorry you had to see me deal with my friend back then, he was my third prelim fight though, I couldnt let him..."

Syn: "You...completely poisoned him...his spirit turned useless and assended to heaven, that boy was crushed..."

Geo: "I told you not to doubt the Púca....."

"I....am not afraid of you....I shall show you what dwells inside my body, come on, give me your best shot....."

Syn: "You asked for it, you may think my spirit is evil or something, but I shall prove to you the true power it poseses, come on old Elk, lets show this faker the real power of nature spirits!"

With that, Syn launched a spiritual arrow right at Geo's heart.... as it flew...

Geo: "How ironic...if people don't attack my heart in human world, they literally do it here...."

Geo wispered to himself...or was it Vasuki... "Third Eye...."

With that, the arrow pierced through the fishing jacket, slodging itself about an inch in Geo's body....

Syn: "You...the great dodger...couldnt dodge that?"

Geo: "OW!!!!"

Syn: "What...the..."

Geo gets out a book, and scribbles something down in it...

Geo: "Well, thats two out of three....now, I could fight the creepy flying fundamentalist over there...go back to Gus...or see if this girl over here can offer me any more assistance....gah! this is so confusing...."

Geo crosses his legs and sits down in the middle of the stadium and thinks.....or tries to.....he pulls out a pear, which, he assumed would have been destroyed by now and starts eating it.....

Syn: "What...is with this guy, is...he serious at all....I thought he was going to go on one of those rants with all that Pooka junk, but he just sorta let it go once I attacked......."

Geo: "Stop talking to yourself, I am trying to think!"

Syn: "Oh, sorry.......wait a second....Elk, lets go, multi-fire, go!"

Geo rocks back and forth and dodges all the arrows as he continues to eat and think....

Syn: "What....the....this is tireing...there is no way....hmmm, wow.....mabey Gus or Meru needs some help........"

[Lovely]

From the stands, a female Shaman half runs/ Half limps into the stadium.

"Damn.... planning during the day, training at night... I'm exausted! .... and very sore...." Lovely finished with a wince.

Lovely wasn't sure if her team members were even here watching the match between Team Mystic and Team Gusketeers. Each member of modogumi had all been busy doing there own things througout the past few days.

Whether her teamates were there or not wasn't really THAT big of an issue though. Lovely needed to see this match, she had some info on the Gusketeers (and even had a run in or two with the narcisistic leader of the group Gus), but she knew next to nothing about team Mystic.

Lovely finally gave up looking for a seat and sat upon one of the stairs instead. Taking out a notebook, and begining to write,

"so far... it looks like an incredibly even match. .... Though... why they keep on bursting into song is a bit of a mystery..."


((OOC: Muwaha! Sorry to interupt. Lovely is late to spectate. Sort of a reflection of the fact that you guys had to start this thread instead of me. Sorry ^^; ! Thanks for taking the initiative though.

Oh yeah.
