The figure gazed directly at the sun, waiting patiently for news of the victim's condition.
The orb materialized. "Good news: he's stable. Bad news: you don't get to obliterate that fiend."
The figure looked at the orb and nodded.
"The sun is setting. Are you going to follow through with the challenge?"
The figure looked back towards the sun and nodded again.
"Hmm. You know, you've changed a lot... for the better."
The figure took a step and then jumped, disappearing with a soft bang.
The figure popped into the arranged location, in front of the Dojo gate. He crossed his legs to sit and levitated to about 2 meters off the ground. A sphere of Void light surrounded him as he settled into waiting meditation.
[spoiler]Open to Roy for continued testing[/spoiler]

[b]And so, the man known as Watcher approached the Warlock. Clad in his usual NCR Ranger armor, with two holsters on either leg, both containing a gun.[/b] "A challenger? Hmm."

[quote][b]And so, the man known as Watcher approached the Warlock. Clad in his usual NCR Ranger armor, with two holsters on either leg, both containing a gun.[/b] "A challenger? Hmm."[/quote] The Warlock's bubble dissipated. He slowly lowered to the ground. A thin curved sword with a violet hilt materialized into his right hand and he took a defensive stance. The hostile tension in the air grew until the Warlock's ghost materialized between the two fighters. "Before things get crazy, lets settle on the terms. How far are we taking this fight and," it looked back to the Dojo gate, "shouldn't we find a place elsewhere to fight?"
-
"Terms? Well I'm testing you, so we're not following the rules quite yet right?"

[quote]"Terms? Well I'm testing you, so we're not following the rules quite yet right?"[/quote] "I don't think passing a test from you would mean much here," the Ghost said. "Do you not know that your life is demanded of you for murder?" The Warlock placed his sword onto his back and began to walk towards Watcher.

[b]Watcher clenched his hand in the shape of a fist, and laughed silently [/b] "That Bastard had it coming. He was trying to kill me after all! Well I did try to make him a monster, but still!"

Well I did try to make him a monster, but still!"[/quote] "Sounds interesting." The Ghost drifted closer towards Watcher, curious. "Care to elaborate?" The Warlock was still calmly approaching, now 20 feet away.
-
"Well, his name was Rook. He was mentally unstable, so I tried making a monster out of him. It backfired and he tries shooting me, right? So I shot his ass in the head 3 times."

[quote]"Well, his name was Rook. He was mentally unstable, so I tried making a monster out of him. It backfired and he tries shooting me, right? So I shot his ass in the head 3 times."[/quote] The Warlock was now 10 feet away. "Oh," the Ghost cringed back a bit. "Well it sounds like you had it coming. The Warlock was now 5 feet away and stopped. He stared at the Ghost and the Ghost turned to stare back.
-
"Wow, be like that." [b]Watcher stared at the Warlock [/b] "The challenger makes the first move according to the rules. Good thing I don't care." [b]He reaches to his side, and drew the red and blue revolver he had shot Jim with. He fired off a single round into The Warlock's thigh. A second into the Warlock's chest And a third into the Warlock's shoulder [/b]

The Warlock staggered back from the shots. He tossed a ball of Void light towards Watcher before jumping into the air and disappearing with a loud pop.

[b]Watcher rolled to the side, out of the area of effect just barely. [/b] "FIGHTING!"

[quote][b]Watcher rolled to the side, out of the area of effect just barely. [/b] "FIGHTING!"[/quote] The Void light released a small explosion, creating a miniature black hole. Watcher could feel a slight tug of gravity, pulling him into the center. The Warlock appeared with a small bang at about 3,000 feet up and allowed gravity to take its course, directing his trajectory towards Watcher.

[b]Watcher managed to pry the sniper off his back, and fired off a round towards the Warlock 50 cal, armour piercing round [/b]

Edited by MuKoKu: 2/6/2017 4:27:44 AM[quote][b]Watcher managed to pry the sniper off his back, and fired off a round towards the Warlock 50 cal, armour piercing round [/b][/quote] The Warlock increased his downward speed to evade the bullet. He charged and readied Void bubble shield in case he needed to activate it. The vortex of the miniature black hole was still active and continued to draw Watcher closer. His garments began to dematerialize. The gravity of the vortex, as slight as it was from the distance between it and the bullet's starting point from the end of the muzzle, distorted the trajectory of the bullet.

[b]Watcher continued fighting against, hoping to the Gods that this gravity bomb didn't last to long [/b]

[quote][b]Watcher continued fighting against, hoping to the Gods that this gravity bomb didn't last to long [/b][/quote] [spoiler]You can easily walk away from it. I keep trying to emphasize the slightness of its gravity lol it's just a mere vortex grenade. Will dissipate soon.[/spoiler] More of watchers garments closest to the miniature black hole were disintegrating into the vortex, exposing patches of skin like a pair of poorly fashionable, overly holed jeans. The Warlock continued to dive towards Watcher, now at 2,000 feet. A rocket launcher materialized into his hands and he began to load it with a magazine of 3 rounds. The side of the rocket was labeled "Truth".
-
[b]Watcher got out of the Vortex, sprinting through the courtyard to escape the rocket explosions [/b]

[quote][b]Watcher got out of the Vortex, sprinting through the courtyard to escape the rocket explosions [/b][/quote] The vortex collapsed on itself and dissipated. The Warlock took aim and when the target lock engaged, let loose a single aggressively tracking rocket. It sped its way towards Watcher. [spoiler]assuming the courtyard isn't roofed? I didn't see that indication in the description. I'll change my move if it is roofed.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]No there's no roof so you're good [/spoiler] [b]Watcher ducked into a open doorway into a building [/b]
-
[quote][spoiler]No there's no roof so you're good [/spoiler] [b]Watcher ducked into a open doorway into a building [/b][/quote] The Warlock pressed a button on the launcher to detonate the rocket prematurely, obliterating much of the branches of the cherry blossom tree that loomed over the courtyard. He didn't want to hurt any innocent bystanders. He was fast approaching the ground when he gradually came to a stop about a foot off of the ground. He floated for a quick moment before taking a step down onto the ground. The Ghost materialized. "Well that was dirty." The Warlock looked to his Ghost and shrugged. A thorn covered handcannon materialized holstered to his right thigh and an orb of Void light glowed in his left hand. He waited, still as a statue.

[b]In some way, Unknown to the Warlock. The branches from the tree regrow almost immediately, returning to its previous state. And the a crack was heard in the air, a second and a third followed suit All three were aimed at the Warlock, each an armour piercing round [/b]

Upon impact, the rounds disintegrated. The ground beneath the Warlock disintegrated as well, creating a crater.
-
[b]Silence, there was nothing, save for the leaves swaying in the wind. It seemed Watcher was waiting for the shield to disappear [/b]

[quote][b]Silence, there was nothing, save for the leaves swaying in the wind. It seemed Watcher was waiting for the shield to disappear [/b][/quote] The Warlock jumped and again disappeared. The shield bubble was still active.
-
[b]In some ways, the silence was deafening. The pure calmness of the dojo was eerie, the silence of the fight a frightening one. From his perch, Watcher scanned for the Warlock [/b]
