OOC: Well seeing as how someone stole my Christmas I?ll just RP and let it all out here, so if it seems rather depressing, I?m sorry.
A cold wind passed across her smooth skin. The crisp air came in from the west to bite at the warrior?s skin. It passed by like it had no course, bits of leaves and grass dancing along with it. It was a scene of nature; it bothered no one and never stopped. Android 18 watched it with a subtle interest. She watched the clouds slowly creeping across the darkening sky and hang like a veil over the waning sun. Perhaps it would snow here, or maybe it would just continue to look on the verge of it. It was only moments that slipped by, her eyes scanning the distance with faint thoughts. She could not explain the way things had gone, and how things would continue. Her cold eyes traveled along the horizon and then rested upon a solitary figure. He stood tall; his breathing came fast and hard. He was an older man, a veteran to fighting. He looked weary, but he would not cave in. No, only death would stop him. Would she kill him to? She had to. There was no other way he would stop. It was either him or her. She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, what would be would be. She opened them and clenched her fists tightly. The cool breeze touched the tips of her golden hair and made it flutter beautifully. She stood in her usual stance and looked right at her opponent. It was time to end this fight.
The stillness broke and shattered like glass. Her slim form moved forward with every bit of speed she possessed. Jackie Chun moved forward as well, though he was not as expert in her strength and power, he was wise. He moved like he was one possessed. He would get up after a fall; he would stare at her with such determination. His punches hurt, but not enough. He moved into her and would not stop. They grappled each other, their hands entwined with each others. The power they emitted caused the very ground to shake. Small rocks rose into the air and exploded into tiny fragments. Ki crackled and sparked along their arms and legs. Their teeth gritted and their eyes burned. Each warrior worked hard to overpower the other. Though 18 was many times his power, she found his determination to be overwhelming. Finally she broke from the hold and pushed herself upward. Her feet smashed into his chest and sent him flying backwards. Quickly she moved toward his position but he was up as fast as he was able. She and the martial artist broke into fighting. His arms blocked her fast fists and he worked to dodge her feet. A sweat started to build against his brow. She ignored all this and fought hard to get through his defenses and score a hit.
Her fist came in toward his face. He could not raise his arm fast enough to block. Her knuckles hit his jaw hard and his feet left the ground. His body moved through the air and a sound of pain escaped his lips. She watched him hit the ground hard. Could she just stop there? She couldn?t. She ran toward his body and continued the torment unto him. Her leg went backward and then came back forward to slam hard into his side. Jackie Chun lurched upward from the force and blood splattered the ground. Though he shook as he got back to his feet, and Android 18 watched him rise, there was no way he would stop. She rushed forward and they fought again. He was a human, but he acted as if he were the same as she. A machine, he acted like he was not even alive, but the burning flames that were his eyes told otherwise. Blood had dribbled from his mouth and covered his chin. Various cuts and bruises showed themselves. He was most likely very much in pain and tired from all the exertion. He did not show it, he would not show it. He simply fought back with a hope of winning, or perhaps something else. She had not been as determined as he was in so long, how could she? There were not many who could rival her power, only then would she fight as Jackie Chun fought.
His body hit the ground once more. The hard dead grass crunched with each step she took. A coldness swept across the plains. The android looked upward for a moment. The clouds hung heavily above their forms. A distant sound echoed from beyond. The blond fighter stared forward, she wondered. The sound came again, a low rumbling that shook her bones. A light smile tickled her lips. It was a perfect way to cleanse the land. Softly she felt it. A droplet of water splattered against her cheek, and then her hand, and then more and more came. It started as a light shower; Jackie Chun stood up to stare up at the new addition to their fight. The rain came down and washed away the bloody from their wounds. 18 stared at her opponent and wondered if he could still fight her. He was as ready as ever. Lightening struck above. It forked through the heavy dark clouds and illuminated the ground below. The two warriors were at each other again. Their hits echoed with the thunder, the rain spattered around them like a waterfall. It would not slow them or halt them. Android 18 moved with it as they fought. It slid off of her soft skin like it had a life of its own. She danced around the human?s attacks; the ground below her feet grew muddy and slick. She did not pay any mind, she just moved and fought like the warrior she was.
She moved with a new grace. The rain brought her to a new level of fighting. It brought her to life. It made her feel full. She could not hope to explain what she felt. The thunder and lightening continued to accompany the fight. Though the human fought hard to attack his opponent, 18 moved easily away from his assault. She finally stopped dodging and moving, her form became as still as a statue. She stared toward the older man, noting that he still stood with fiery passion. He wanted to win, he didn?t want to die. She stared at him for a few long moments. The rain ran down her pale skin and against her wet golden hair. It was no use, it had to end. She rushed forward with a fist raised high. Jackie caught it with his hand but she easily brought in her other hand to grind hard into his stomach. He gasped for breath and blood came out of his mouth only to wash away with the rain. She pushed him away from her body; he stumbled and held his gut. She lightly shook her head, he was a smart fighter. Once more she came in toward his figure and engaged in combat. Each strike hit, he could not possibly continue much longer. As with the other fighters, he would not surrender. He had to die, though; this was the point of the game. She tossed his body away from herself and waited for him to get back up.
?Are you prepared to die?? She said as he shakily got onto his hands and knees. She stood with her side toward him; she stared out into the darkness. ?You are a wise and old fighter, but have you ever faced death?? She did not look at him. ?You won?t know anything until you taste the pain and feeling of death as many others have. Once you have died and faced what lies on the other end, you won?t know everything.? Now she turned toward him. He stared up at her, was he confused? 18 just looked down at him. ?You fought well enough, you are a good person.? She looked off to the side, ?But you entered this tournament, and you knew the consequences.? Before he could even move she was on him and pinning his body to the ground. She held the back of his head firmly, ?Are you ready to die? Or are you ready to give up? Can you face death openly and go on to learn more than you do now?? She whispered to him with a cold voice. Jackie Chun id not struggle, not yet anyway. Perhaps he was thinking, or gathering his strength to overpower her hold. She did nothing, not until he would reply. The cold rain pelted their bodies. Their clothing was soaked. She did not feel the cold, or the wet. He was numb, and she would not feel a thing until the fight was over. ?What will it be?? And she waited.
OOC: Ok Jackie Chun and I agreed that it will end after I post. Could a staff member please look at this?
