Deadblood (Absolute & Mortal Champion)
So much for quoting horror movies in this thread!
Drawing his katana, Deadblood cautiously moved towards the masked man. He heard Sheri talking in the background, something about CP-ZERO, but considering the fact that he wasn't hearing gunshots, explosions, or those heavy footsteps, he was pretty sure that CP-ZERO wasn't there and was still crushed in the bottom of that elevator shaft.
"I don't know who the hell you are," Deadblood then suddenly said to the masked man, "but I promise you that this going to the be the last celebration you crash!"
With about half the distance that had been between he and the masked man covered, Deadblood suddenly charged at him, swinging the katana, attempting to chop his head off, much like Deadblood had attempted to do to Kizmat earlier that evening!!!!! The masked man easily stepped aside, seeming to barely even put any effort into the dodge, but Deadblood had anticipated that, quickly swinging the blade back!!!!!!! This time though, the masked man didn't dodge. No, instead, he caught the blade between his palms, before snatching the katana out of Deadblood's hands and throwing it, the weapon clattering against concrete nearby!!!!!!!!!
"Is that the best you've got, Champ?" the masked man asked with a laugh. "If so, this going to be way too easy!"
Whoever this masked man was, he certainly wasn't going to be easy to dispose of. Was he someone else sent by the company? Something extra just in case that cyborg didn't work out? Deadblood really wasn't sure. The masked man was exactly the kind of person the company liked to hire, but at the same time, Deadblood felt like it had to do with something else, something more.
"Not even close!" Deadblood said in response to the masked man's question.
Deadblood suddenly flicked his eyes and before the masked man had a chance to try to figure out what Deadblood was up to, a hubcap came flying through the air, seemingly out of nowhere, striking the masked man hard on the side of the head!!!!!!!!! The masked man only stumbled slightly to the side though, the hubcap falling to the ground. The blow seemed to have little to no effect otherwise as he then spun around and landed a punch to Deadblood's face that caught him off-guard, sending him stumbling too, almost knocking him over!!!!!
Moving a hand up to the side of his head to touch where the hubcap struck, the masked man brought his fingers back to see blood on them, prompting him to say, "Impressive for you, but I'm afraid that's still not going to cut it."
Deadblood began to back away, moving next to Sheri, before saying, "I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather be fighting that cyborg right now. At least we mostly knew what the fuck we were dealing with there! This guy's impossible!
"And I thought you fighting that vampire was crazy!" Sheri added, the two of them still backing away.
An idea then suddenly occurred to Deadblood: the crimson light. He hadn't even bothered trying to use it on that cyborg. It wouldn't had affected it at all, not with that thick armor. But what about this masked man? There was only one way to find out.
Stopping in his tracks, he suddenly raised both hands, launching a large and fast ball of the crimson light right at the masked man!!!!! Of course, the masked man managed to easily avoid this, the orb striking a wall behind him and dissipating harmlessly, but again, Deadblood had anticipated that and proceeded blast a stream of crimson light at the masked man!!!!!!!!! The beam seemed to consume the masked man and Deadblood was unable to see him!!!!!!!!!!! Deadblood felt a twinge of excitement. After all of the masked man's talk of wanting a challenge, that was all it took to defeat him!!!!!
But as he cut off the beam and the last of it disappeared, he saw that the masked man was still there, completely unaffected by the crimson light!!!!!!! Deadblood couldn't believe it. He thought that the crimson light was supposed to wipe out anything living!
The masked man was quick to remind him off something though, asking, "Really? Have you already forgotten how it went for that bartender with his shotgun?"
"Shit," Deadblood said in response, backing away again. "Sheri, if you've got any ideas here, feel free to share them with me!"
