The boltor vanished as he easily side stepped the axe that fell at a rather slow speed. The rounds were stopped by Zane's ward again, firing back up at Dale.
"...This is going to last a while."

[b]The arena began to shake, and the black ball above them began to wobble and distort. Smoke began to cover sight from every direction, and something hit the ground in front of him. A man stood there, in jeans and a flannel shirt. He just sighed, and looked at Bedlam.[/b] “Goddammit... Dude, can we hurry this up? I have to pick up my daughter from swim practice then head to work. I’m only here so I can pay off my mortgage.”
-
"Uhh. Well, I don't know how long you're going to be there or who you are, but as long as I'm not getting shot at do you wanna like, sit and talk?" A table and two chairs appeared, Bedlam sitting down in one.
-
[b]The guy sat down, just looking at Bedlam.[/b] “Alright... My name is Dave. This is not what I expected at all.”
-
"No? Were you just walking around when you suddenly got sent here or something?" Bedlam rested his feet up on the table.
-
“Nah. I’m paid to be here. Listen man, can we like hurry this up? I need to go get to work in a bit and I haven’t taken a shower.”
-
"I have have no control over how long you stay here, man. You're sorta stuck until they put you back, sorry." He shrugged.
-
“Wasn’t talking to you, sorry. Talking to the guy who put me here. It’s rather shitty, honestly. Yeah... If you ever meet my daughter don’t tell her I curse. She doesn’t like it.”
-
"I won't if I somehow ever meet her..." Bedlam tapped his finger on the table. "...How much longer?"
-
Sniff. Dale found his opponent, the smell of smoke still on his clothes, his boots. Dale aimed his axe, as he could not see far through the fog, and chucked it at a curve, to hit Bedlam in the side. He then pulled his gun, firing in a wide area around his opponent.
-
Dale would just hear silence as Bedlam heard the gunshots from the opposite side Dale had just fired. He looked over to see Dave was gone and sighed before standing up while making the table and chairs vanish. [i]At least knowing about the smell thing helped here...I was kinda getting into my conversation with Dave though. He was mildly interesting.[/i] He pulled the boltor out again, firing a shot at Dale from behind.

Edited by Atom: 12/22/2017 10:19:54 PMThe boltor blew him back a foot, his back armor slightly hurt from the fire, though it was thicker and offered more protection. He flicked his right hand and the axe came back- however with his opponent located once more, he charged forward, firing three bullets in the direction the boltor shot fired from.
-
The boltor vanished as Bedlam summoned the ward to redirect the bullets back at Dale once more. He then began to walk away, forming an illusion of himself where he just stood with a boltor. The only defining trait of the illusion being the fact that the eyes were silver rather than Bedlam's red eyes.
-
As Dale charged, the bullets plinked on him yet again, a constant struggle. However instead of swinging the axe at Bedlam, he threw it directly at the illusion, calling it back as soon as it entered the body.
-
The illusion fell over, making a fake grunt of pain as Bedlam continued to slip through the fog. He made his way behind Dale as he was distracted.
-
Boom. The signature sound of Dale's feet leaving the ground rang out as he sprung forward shoulder charging the illusion and attempting to push it into the night like fog.
-
Dale would just fly through the illusion, hitting nothing, but air. Meanwhile; Bedlam fired the boltor three times at Dale's back.
-
They would explode and launch him forward. His back armor would be damaged by the shots, but not as much as the front armor was. Skidding to a stop, Dale pushed off the ground, away from the shots and placing his back to the pillar once more. Axe in hand, he searched for a signal with his sight and smell. Obviously, Bedlam had messed with his nose, so Dale chose something different. He'd smell where Bedlam was, or rather, where he was not. Bedlam was not where he appeared to be, so Dale would simply be ready for the next shots to come from a direction where Bedlam wasn't. Knowing this, he'd be able to react faster to his opponent's actions.
-
Bedlam's boltor vanished again as he sensed Dale's movement, trying to think of a way to take down his opponent that was now using the pillar to cover his back. He formed yet another illusion, this one firing a round at Dale from his left side, but it missed him by a mere inch. Bedlam used this distraction to quickly move to Dale's right.
-
Dale, seeing the round, fired the rest of his clip at the darkness, and at the illusion Bedlam had placed up. Tightly gripping his axe, he flipped it in his hand. Now that he knew his opponent had illusions, he would have to be more careful.
-
Bedlam got on one knee before firing the boltor at Dale's right leg and immediately rolling to the side to avoid the axe that was likely to be thrown.
-
Dale fell the the ground, on one knee, pushed against the pillar. Throwing the axe would be pointless in a game of hide and seek. He quickly a ended up the pillar, landing on top with the thousand toddlers. Any single one that touched him was shocked by the battery, which he had turned back on. For now they stayed out of his way as he made his path to the center.
-
"Honestly, he probably should've done that sooner....Though, I didn't even think about him going back up the spire until now." Bedlam shrugged, slowly walking around the spire as he thought of his next move and saved some energy.
-
With the spare time, Dale reloaded his gun for its somewhat useless ranged attack, and looked into the fog. Bedlam would have to come from one of the three sides of the pillar, but not the one where he could smell him in. Unless he landed on the pillar itself, which would probably a bad idea.
-
Bedlam sighed and looked up at the tower. He knew going up there meant possible death, so he had to think of something. Unsure of what to do, he had an illusion with tinted sunglasses fly up and land on the spire, the glasses meant to hide the silver eyes.
-
Dale saw the illusion come up and land on the spire, and smiled to himself. Bedlam had not disillusioned the hundreds of toddlers covering every inch of the floor except where Dale was, so it went right through them. The giant of a man called out into the dark. "You hide, Bedlam. Do you intend to win out of cowardice?"
