Terrance vs Bishop

Terrance Vanguard

He’d only heard about HoH from Tres. The toughest teams on Gaia gather in a huge a** tournament to beat the living crap out of each other. Of course he’d heard some weird things about it, like how the people that ran the tournament had a sick sense of humor. He didn’t think that would entail of them turning a carnival into some sick looking way for the tournament to wank off on the winners past. Various rides named after the teams that mostly looked like deathtraps than classic carnival rides of any kind, and the statue just spelt out how self centered and vain the tournament runners were. At least the cotton candy didn’t explode in his mouth like he was expecting.

Actually, one thing he could say about this place was that the concessions stand was good as ******. The dreadheaded scientist thoroughly enjoyed the taste of the cotton candy, he would’ve drunk some mountain dew, However it seemed that his match was going to begin soon. He could hear his heart beating from inside of his chest, It was slightly irregular, partially because he had just finished eating, mostly because he was sort of hesitant. This tournament had the toughest b***d in Gaia Prime ready and willing to show him out the door if he hesitated. With the fear in mind and obviously getting to him, he thought it best then to transform and hope for the best.

He slid his sleeves down from his coat, pressed a few buttons on his watch and waited. The red ichor began to ooze out of the scientist’s body, which began to harden around him, forming itself into his body in a nearly painless transformation.

What bullshit.

Of course it was painful, his body would ache, the red liquid that spewed from his body BURNED in some cases, and it usually stunk until it hardened. Being in the middle of it was absolute s**t. Whist the red ichor began to harden around the man’s arms and legs, The rest of the liquid travelled to his head to form the helmet that he would be wearing for the fight. His hands formed into Metal based claws and a roar escaped his mouth. His hands slammed down to the ground on all fours, his feet also covering themselves with the red liquid in order to match the claws on his hands.

Let’s get scratchin’.

Whoever this guy was, he seemed quite riled up to get his a whipped to be in a fight. Terrance was sweating inside of his suit, usually the suit was pretty cool inside and didn’t cause him to sweat. However, he was very antsy about this prelim fight. He had never been in any sort of tournament, and he only joined because Tres said it would be a good idea for him to gather courage, he was starting to think that Tres was talking out of his a like he usually did. Then again, he should’ve thought best than to ask advice from the ‘People’s Champion of Sigil.’

The male, whoever this red headed male was had already managed to get on his bad side, fan-girls? Come at me bro? This guy was obviously from either the Jersey Shore, or New York, and both places managed to get on his nerves due to their obvious excess of wannabe Guido’s and mob bosses. Bad jokes about wannabe’s aside, it seemed that the guy was obviously a hometown favorite, left him sort of the underdog, which meant he obviously couldn’t trust the crowd to support him. He couldn’t be faked out now, not by petty fan girls. The male had to concentrate and get his head in the game. Which he would have perfect time to do with the mace pointed at him, the man was ready to go and honestly so was he.

However, this man behind all of that bravado, was certainly enough to make Terrance feel a bit of unease. He was certainly muscular enough, though most of Terrance's average build was covered with his armor and thus the male's muscle was not as intimidating. It still managed to intimidate the novice fighter just slightly. He seemed like he did nothing but fight. Then again, he should’ve expected that from the tournament. Even though they were both new, he was sure that the male obviously had a bit more experience in fighting in this situation. Which put Terrance in a tight spot not only was he completely uneasy about the male and his comments, but also about his own fighting chance. No, he had to suck that s**t up, He roared again, kneeled up and began to bang on his chest. No more, fear not now. He was going to show what he was made of, here and now.

He just needed to find an opening somewhere, the man seemed to be standing in taunt read for him to attack, his hands was stretched forward pointing toward him with the mace, which meant that he wasn’t going to be able to pull a vertical attack without pulling his arm back. With this in mind Terrance found his opportunity. Instead of waiting for the man to taunt him again, he begins running on all fours, they were a good ten feet away, so the red colored robot animal hybrid had just enough time to gain speed at five need. However, during the middle of the sprint he hunched his upper body back up and straight and began rushing toward the mace wielding male on his two feet. He was going to start this strong, charge straight ahead and overwhelm him. At least that was the plan.

A Spring loaded mace.

Certainly not what the boy was expecting.

However, certainly this wasn’t his plan. This all seemed to easy to avoid for him, all he had to do was make some short term body modifications and he'd be able to correctly, defend himself accordingly for the mace to not penetrate the suit. Holding his right forearm out in front of him, the edge of the forearm began to leak a red liquid, which quickly formed itself into a shield. He honestly didn’t expect to use any of his abilities during the first minutes of the fight, but it seemed a surprise would have to be outweighed by another.

This move would cause him to power over the mace and continue his sprint, However this meant due to the man’s pivot that he would be on his side. The man was still in arms length so that meant that he could possibly attack with his left arm. Taking his left arm he extended it out to his side, which would be just enough to ring around the man neck and possibly force him down to the ground with a clothesline. Now whether the clothesline was a hit or a miss varied. However, he was sure it would stop the man from trying to attack the left side of his body.

His attempts at a clothesline failed it seemed, and from the simplist of things, misdirection. HE completely lost himself in trying to charge at the male and block the attack that he had set himself off of the path to really do much of anything. It made him look stupid and highly off balance, he was surprised that the man did not take advantage. It was Obvious that the male had made a novice move, being a novice in 1v1 fighting. Maybe he was hiding it better than he had thought. He had never felt pressure like this before, standing behind so many people, who were watching his move, while his opposition say and waited for him to make a mistake, his heart just couldn’t stop beating. However, at the same time, something excited him about it, made his stomach flutter and the suddenly energy burst that he had much more profound. Maybe Tres was right about all of this.

Terrance visors locked back onto the male, scanning his heart rate and his position. He was hiding something behind his arm. So he had to be cautious, certainly his opponent wasn’t just putting his hands behind his back just because he was using some strange fighting style. No, he had something up his sleeve. So this caused the armor wearing male to simulate a Liger’s hunt. Arching his back forward a bit with his arms held out, and stepping to his side circling his opposition, He wanted to see exactly what was on in that man’s arm. Certainly, there was no need to attack now, and he had to wait for a few moment before he can absorb and shape metal again. He had to stay vigilent and make sure the male was off of his toes, he reached to his back and pulled out the two yantaks that were strangely oddly between his lower back and his rear. He held the sticks out and kept his stance. Left arm fixed elbows with the pole pointing at an angle to his opposition. His right arm, rested to the right side of his body, the stick pointed slightly to the ground.

He had managed to buy himself some time with by making the male attack first, he was sprinting toward him. It seemed that the male wanted to be the aggressor. Which managed to have Terrance shake up a bit, he wasn’t aware of what the male was planning, and he was still slightly suffering from the jitters. He held his stance, left leg leading the right, which confused the man once he saw that the male was focusing on the right side of his body, the side that wasn’t opened and wasn’t his pivot foot. IT just seemed like a boneheaded move to Leon. So all Leon had to do was use his pivot foot to turn at a 90 degree angle away from his opponent who had just managed to slide onto the ground in an attempt to attack his right leg.

The male would simply stop short of his now that the male was on the ground Terrance had to take the opportunity to take him out, and quickly, before he even had a change to try and use the pistol.. Taking his sticks he loosened his grip on the side, letting the edge of the stick point at his opponent’s body, which was now on the ground due to the missed swing of the mace. He would then drop down on the male, making sure that the sticks collided with the male’s body. The weight and material of the stick would be surefire to make the guy lose his breath if the sticks connected with his abdomen. The blunt force of the stick would be just enough for the male to catch his breath and loosen his grip on whatever weapons he held in his hand.

Name: Terrance Vanguard

Well, that was certainly a surprise for Terrance.

The wind would purely froze him if he was still in his human based form, the orange scanners that covered his eyes shown that the temperature of the wind was well over the freezing point. The wind was quite strong as well, as it proceeded to force his body away from the man. He nearly felt that if he didn’t react sooner he probably would’ve been thrown off of the ground and pushed into one of the carnival rides, possibly from the wind itself, it even managed to blow the sticks out of his hand.

it was that powerful instead of letting himself go with the wind he waited for a second to be blown away a few feet, then slammed his metal claws into the ground, slamming his entire weight onto the cement ground.

And then he suddenly smirked.

His fully body armor was made for his kind of environment in mind. A lot of solid element around this place it gave the animal shaped armor something to work with. He went back down on all four of his paws taking a look at the pistol in his hand. His claws was still attached to the cement on the ground. He found that the man was attempting quickly to steady himself and fire at him with what seemed to be a gun.

Terrance was positive that guns weren’t allowed here, and he was also positive that if they were, they were magically powered, or Magically enchanted. He’d have to think if it was anything based on his suits weakness he'd have to think of a resistant.

He looked at his opponent through his visor, and…suddenly began to make an hyena sounding chuckle, the Liger shaped helmet even managed to show it's yellow teeth and smile at the man. all whist still laughing at the male. instead of attacking head on. He simply began to stalk him again, stepping slowly to the side while still facing him, his hand still on the ground.

The Man had some some mettle here, a great strategy on trying to sway him with diversions, so he was going to try one of his own. He just needed that man to use his gun. Certainly he was already ready to, which certainly meant he was ready to fire. It was only five seconds before he took off at his opposition again, his visor scanning the properties of the solid material he just touched, and registering it into his system. He hoped that he got this right.

Terrance Vanguard

He was just about set to let his skill loose, he was certainly going to strike with something thunder based.

Suddenly, his visor had shut off and his view was normal, instead of the orange hue that the visor usually hid them behind. Suddenly the most painful sound was suddenly jolted into Terrances young little ears. Now, you know how Younger people can hear things that older people usually cannot. Well most of the 30 somethings that were in the crowd probably couldn’t hear it, but there was a certain song that was playing.

~It's Friday, Friday

Gotta get down on Friday

Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend

Friday, Friday

Gettin' down on Friday

Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend~

This alone caused Terrance to suddenly widen his eyes in horror. Then it began to speed, up, to the point that it completely disorientated him. The steel suited male grabbed onto where his ears were located on his helmet and instantly fell to the ground. Due to his velocity, he continued to slide, right toward his opposition. The creature began to etch around in slight pain in a desperate attempting to get the sound out of his ears. Nobody should EVER have to deal with a weapon like that. Why was a weapon like that even LEGAL in HoH; Seriously, a Sonic Pulse Gun that played Friday in over 9000 times the speed?

He gripped onto the ground in desperation, in a horrid attempt at trying to pick himself off of the ground. However, the Most annoying sound on the planet was still slightly blaring in his ears. It seemed that whatever this male had planned he was probably not going to make it out of it. Terrance snarled in pain, managing to pick himself up and get on his knees. His Right arm was placed onto the ground while the left clutches the same sided knee.

There has to be another alternative, and honestly his mind was still trying to think on that, but he feared the song may have disabled his thought process.

One last act of defense

The attack hit it’s mark, However, it didn’t harm Terrance. It was a last desperate move that he had to make, a way to cover his body from at least partial of the damage. It was also why he touched the reinforced concrete that the ground was made of.

Quote:** Wrote:

Matter Absorption: Liger can absorb the properties of solid materials, the likes of Wood, Steel, or concrete. Transmuting his armor a refortifying it of whatever material he has absorbed and subsequently use it to increase his physical strength and his armor’s durability. He must touch an item in order to absorb it, and is open to attack when doing so. However, he does not absorb the actual item itself just the properties.

Duration: Two Turns

Cooldown Period: Three turns

He couldn’t hear the male and his sight was limited to his own and not the once enhanced by his suit, but he would be perfectly capable of attacking him without it. The pieces of Concrete imploded off of the armor, but it was all intent, it would be just enough to partially protect the steel coating inside of the building and cancel off some of that intertia, The Steel constructs of the armor, should be able to protect him from the rest.

Though it would've considerably dent the armor but not penetrate it due to the cancelling of the intertia. The steel Armor began to laugh it’s Hyena laugh yet again, this time it was slower and was followed by static. Suddenly his claw shifted into a concrete block, about the size of a shoebox, swung upwards at the chin of his opponent.

Quote:** Wrote:

Matter Shift: The Claws attached to his armor can shift into any weapon of blunt or bladed variety for a single time use (Meaning after an attack is thrown he cannot use it again for two turns sharing the same limitations of the Matter absorption since the two are connected.). For example, if his body had absorbed the properties of cement, he’d be able to form his claws into a cement lance, or a basketball size cement block which he can use to clobber his opposition with.

Cooldown: Shared with Matter Absorption.

The Blunt trauma of being hit by concrete should be enough to knock his opponent clean out, if not knock him away far enough for him to catch his bearings, That was if it all went successfully. If it wasn’t then his body would be boggled down for the next few turns, even if his defense would’ve risen by that point, he’d by a bit too slow for his opposition.

So his opponent was also a master at the a** pull.

It wasn’t just the gust of the breath that managed to cause Terrance to fall back to the ground, arms spread out on the ground due to the sudden blast of wind. It was also the stench. Whatever his opponent had eaten smelled absolutely atrocious, it lingers into his actual senses and caused him nearly to gag on his own lunch. “Seriously man have you heard of breath mints!” It wasn’t something he’d normally say. In fact, he wouldn’t say that to any person he knew in real life. He couldn’t explain it either, especially since for the most part, he was still in battle with the man. Maybe it was the spur of the moment, caused by a rush of adrenaline, Or maybe it stunk so bad that something HAD to be said.

Once he was on the ground, he had to think, the man was just about to swing his mace at his head again. Then he realized what exactly was wrong with the man’s plan. Terrance was down with his a** and body on the ground, the man was aiming at his head. The SMALLEST target at this point in time. The body or legs would be a lot more accurate for the position that they were both in and would probably break through the rest of the cement. Maybe his opponent was losing his edge. All Terrance had to do was sway his body to either direction. In this case, he chose his left. The Mace would cleanly miss his head with Terrance decided to laugh at him again, for what was a…honestly stupid maneuver.

Now that his opponent was on top of him, his body was completely open to his now block shaped fist. Taking his left hand which was still spread out, He slammed the block shaped fist into the side of the man’s Tibula. The sheer connection of the concrete block to the man’s tibula would surely shatter it, and completely kill any chance of him possibly moving off of that leg. If he was lucky he probably would just get away from this fight with a limp.

There was ANOTHER reason that Terrance attacked his right leg. To control the way he fell, because he attacked the right leg all of the force would make his opponent move to the opposite side. In this case, he’d be falling to his left. In this case Terrance could easily let him trip over and try to catch his breath. But No way, he was going to take him out and take him out immediately, instead of letting the male go down on his right knee. Whist he was still on the ground he grabbed the right knee the pressure would force his entire body on the ground, Thus making his planned strike with his mace Null and Void

With his hands back to normal, he would attempt to slam his elbows into the man’s lower half of his leg, the same one he struck with the concrete enhanced hand. Now Positioned in back of the man’s legs whist he was still on the ground, he would wrap his arms around the damaged Leg, Twisting the ankle in an attempt to tear the Fibula even farther away from it. He wasn’t sure if the man could get back up after all, it was all simple precaution, make his his opponent stay completely down for the count, even if he had to break BOTH legs to do it.
