Seahawk Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Battle 1 "Remember, once you enter the combat area, you cannot leave except to forfeit." Marneus Calgar's words rose up in Captain Diomedes' memory as he and Honor-Guard Grand Champion Raideus closed to striking distance. In a flash of anger he had realized his Iron Halo was still sitting in his priming chambers. He cursed quietly to himself. "Well, honored brother. It seems I don't have my most valuable protection on me today. Good thing I don't need it!" he yelled the last as he charged into combat with Raideus. "Don't be so sure of your abilities brother-captain. Too much pride or arrogance can lead to your downfall," replied Raideus between cuts and thrusts. "Oh yea? Well downfall this!" Diomedes lunged toward the honor guard, but Raideus leaned to the side, slashing Diomedes across the back of his leg and opening up a small wound. It clotted almost instantaneously. Unperturbed, Diomedes swept around but Raideus was already on the attack. In a dazzling display of swordsmanship, the two fought mere feet from each other. The clang of striking metal, and the ozone-crackle of two power weapons constantly connecting was all that was heard for a time. Moving about the arena, neither could gain the upper hand. Ten minutes of continuous and skillful combat left the two opponents sweating hard despite the crisp Macraggian autumn. Both displayed their best talents learned in the barracks as youngsters and then through their training to become an Ultramarine, yet neither could find a weakness. "Had enough yet, honored brother? Do we simply have the same amount of skill and we should just call it a draw?" panted Diomedes, as his bolt pistol boomed and was deflected off the storm shield, not even armed yet. "No respite!" roared Raideus, his sudden and ferocious change and attack throwing Diomedes off-balance. The relic blade Raideous carried, handed down by honored brother Epheus to him, and from brother Orion before that, so many decades ago, whistled through the air. Such a blade of fine making was no longer to be resisted, and it scored a telling wound on Diomedes' left shoulder pad, all the way to the bone. Diomedes grunted. "The duel is completed." Declared a booming voice that could only be the chapter master's. "And so it is," murmured Diomedes, knowning he'd been beaten. "May the Emperor be with you in the coming trials, honored brother," he said to Raideus as he turned to leave for the Apothecarium. Victory to Honor-Guard Grand Champion Raideus!

Seahawk Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Battle 2 Captain Scissorhands and Brother-Captain Silon Almach both entered the combat area, to the cheers of the spectators. The two combatants hailed and saluted, and the duel began. Silon quickly moved to the center of the area, while Scissorhands moved around in a closing spiral. His lightning claws slowly extended from their housing with a shhhhhink, the power field snapping to life when they were fully extended. Silon's remained within, and indeed he stood stock still, following Scissorhands' movements with a watchful eye. When Scissorhands was directly behind the brother captain he leapt, bringing his claws together for a devastating punch attack. Silon spun round and crouched low, bringing his storm shield up to perfectly block the attack. Such was the kinetic force behind the impact that Scissorhands' powered blades shattered! The storm shield couldn't take the hit either though, cracking in half and burning Silon's hand. Momentarily stunned, Scissorhands was open to attack, which was duly taken advantage of by Silon. Throwing away his storm shield, he swept up his single lightning claw that extended and activated viper-quick, carving four great gouges in Scissorhands' chestplate, cutting deep but purposefully not penetrating the black carapace. Scissorhands staggered back, unable to defend himself and relented. Victory to Brother-Captain Silon Almach!

Seahawk Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Whew! What a pair of battles! The first one lasted an incredible 13 rounds. 10+ hits were parried away, and the only three hits that actually wounded all were failed to save by Diomedes, over a long period of time. The only thing keeping Raideus alive was his storm shield, as he only saved once above a 3+...the rest of the wounds were all saved at a 3. As for the other one...a mere 5 rounds and one very impressive triple hit/wound/fail clinched it. Not what I was expecting, as Silon had taken a wound first despite the shield.

KhorneHunter57x Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wow, that was quick and brutal. What is it with me and Storm Shields? First round I dropped it, now I have to go explain to the Techmarines what happened to it. A good fight, Scissorhands. Congratulations to Raideus, and now I am a bit worried about the difference between your Relic Blade and my Lightning Claw.

Congratulations to Raideus, and now I am a bit worried about the difference between your Relic Blade and my Lightning Claw. "Brother, victory shall be yours if you will it", spoke Raideus, his voice thick with steely resolve. His winged helmet sat beside him as he meditated, its golden feathers casting glitters of rich color upon the Champion's armor as he sat cross legged, his eyes closed, and his blade pointed to the ground. Raideus gauntlets clasped the hilt of the massive weapon lightly, his massive Storm Shield hooked to his power-pack, deactivated. "If, you will it."

KhorneHunter57x Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 "If the Emperor wills it, brother," responded Captain Almach, who did not look up from his Storm Shield, whose wounded machine spirit he was calming. "What I will does not matter. May He guide my hand, and give me victory if He wills it.

"What I will does not matter. May He guide my hand, and give me victory if He wills it. " "The Emperor grants us the strength and will we need to conquer and claim victory. And may He give you your will, for your victory" smiled Raideus, his hulking form still set in a meditative state. The Grand-Champion of the Honor Guard was preparing his mind and body for the final fight, and nothing was going to get to him. He was going to enter the final duel with a clairvoyant state of mind and body.

KhorneHunter57x Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 "I pray for His blessing today, yes, but remember that any victory, be it yours or mine, belongs to Him-on-Terra." The Master of the Marches then rose, hefting his repaired Storm Shield in his ornate right gauntlet. He strode away a few paces, leaving his brother, who was entrusted with the protection of none other than Lord Macragge, to his meditations. Silon then paused and turned his helm toward the Ultramarine who he would soon be duelling for the honor of representing the XIII Legion. "As the Emperor's Angels of Death, it is our duty to bring His light to the shadows. I know that, regardless of which one of us He chooses to prevail today, the victor will truly be worthy of the title of Ultramarines Champion, and shall have the will, faith, and purity that such a title demands."

KhorneHunter57x Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 So, any word of when Round 3 is? Captain Almach opened a vox-link to Brother-Moderati Seahawk's quarters. "Heresy grows from idleness, Brother-Mod. When will we determine the Champion of the sub-forum?"
