Round Robin Fight Scene Story

[Kalel21]

The idea here is for someone to write a couple of paragraphs of a fight scene between two characters. The next person who posts may, if he/she wishes, write the next couple of paragraphs. No one is allowed to write two story entries in a row. Anyone who believes he can bring the fight to a logical conclusion in his entry may do so, then begin a new fight between his victor and a fresh opponent.

To start:

Captain America turned the corner of the half-ruined farmhouse, then ducked instictively when the half-saw, half-heard the massive fist that came swinging towards him. He threw himself forward, turned a quick somersault and came up facing his opponent, his shield held in front of him.

The Frankenstein's Monster's (classic Universal Monster movie version) pulled his fist out of the side of the farm. Yelling wildly, he swung another haymaker at Cap.

The Avenger easily blocked it with his shield, then launched a kick at the Monster's midriff. The blow landed solidly, but the Monster merely grunted and seemed to suffer no ill effect. Roaring again, he lunged at Cap, both hands aimed at the Avenger's throat...


Who want's to go next?

[linkmaxwell]

Frankenstein's Monster managed a tight stranglehold on the Cap. With only a few moments left before the monster would crush his windpipe, Captain America had a flash of insight, kneeing the monster in the groin.

The monster staggered back, roaring in pain, as Cap fell to the ground, gasping for air. He was too distracted trying to breath again, that he didn't notice the monster picking up a tractor, hurling it in the air towards him...

[Kalel21]

At the last second, Cap saw the tractor out of the corner of his eye. He dropped flat--the tractor flew over him with just inches to spare, crashing to the earth several yards away.

Cap rolled, came up in a crouch and threw his shield. The edge of the shield caught the monster squarely on the knee, staggering him. Cap jumped up and caught his returning shield as it bounced back towards him. Nearby, the monster had fallen, but was already starting to rise again.

[The fat ninja]

After almost half an hour of combat Steve Rogers was beginning to feel a bit of mental fatige. He had thrown everything he could think of both physicaly and figuratively at the monster and yet there it stood lumbering toward him intent on tearing him appart.
So far his superior speed and training kept the beast form doing any harm but unlike Captain America the Frankenstein monster did not tire or suffer from the mortal weaknesses of hunger or tiring. The monster lunged again missing as the the super soldier easily dodged the clumsy attack, and as he did so Cap noticed something and a smile spread across his face.

[Ro-gan]

Cap saw a coal fire burning in the barn.

With a flippy-do over the Frankenstein's Monster Cap leaped into the barn.

The Monster turned slowly, groaning, and lurched towards Cap.

Cap grabbed a wooden plank and plunged it into the coal stove, igniting the dry wood.

[Kalel21]

"flippy-do"??????

As the Monster lumbered into the barn, Cap lunged at him with his makeshift torch, waving the flame in the Monster's face.

The Monster roared in fear and anger, stumbling backwards out of the barn. Turning, the creature moved off into the surrounding woods, shouting "FIRE BAD!"

Cap stood in the barn's entrance and sighed with relief. It had been a tough fight.

Then, suddenly, an arrow thudded into the side of the barn just inches from his head. Cap spotted an Indian, armed with a bow--but with a six gun also hanging from a holster at his hip--crouching behind the wreckage of the tractor.

"FIRE BAD!" shouted Tonto, as he noched another arrow.

[The fat ninja]

Cap crouched behind the hulk that used to be a tractor carefully noting from where each new arrow came. Timing his attack perfectly he climbed over the wreckage and with his full strength dove, shield first knocking his adversary from atop his horse. The two rolled around in the tall grass each using different leverage and position in an attempt to gain some advantage over the other.

After a short quarrel Tanto sat positioned atop the supersoldier bone knife in hand he struggled to force the blade in to his adversary. Knowing he could not withstand the native's ferile attacks for long Steve Rogers roled hard to his left forcing the blade awar fron any vital organs but not entirely missing.

As the two regained their footing and sized eachother up searching for a weakness to exploit Tanto noticed the faint trickle of blood beginning to flow out from under the red white and blue uniform of his opponent...

[linkmaxwell]

Rogers was clutching his side. If it had been any mere mortal, the wound would have been enough to fell him, but Captain America was a super-soldier in the literal sense of the word. Still, he was surprised that not only had Frankenstein's Monster attacked him, but now Tanto was getting in on the action. Something didn't seem right, and he was determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.
Seeing his opponent falter, Tanto charged at Cap with his knife, slicing wildly, trying to cut open his gut.

[The fat ninja]

Knowing that the savage would be off ballance Cap rolled onto his back and lifted his legs to propel Tanto over and away from where he now lay. What was unanticipated was what lay in the farmers cluttered field. As he rolled to his back Steve Rogers felt the prongs of a badly placed pitchfork against the kevlar of his uniform.
Before he could correct the precarious position he had found himself in Tanto arrived upon the scene landing square on the chest of the supersoldier. The look of suprise on Captain Americas face almost skocked Tanto almost as much as the four prongs now protruding from the white star of Caps uniform. The Kevlat theat so often stopped deadly bullets from ending the aged Avengers life did little to prevent him from being skewered upon the fork.
Slowly Tanto rose to his feet, Captain Americas blood still fresh upon his knife blade and slowly pouring from his dead body. The Indian lowered his head and shook it in shame. " He was a worthy opponent, hi life should never have ended this way" spoke Tanto, "something is very wrong here I wish I knew what."

[Kalel21]

Tonto mounted his horse Scout, saddened at the death of his opponent and annoyed that people kept referring to him as "Tanto." "At least the Lone Ranger gets my name right," he muttered as he rode into the surrounding forest.

Suddenly, something leapt out of the underbrush and attacked Scout. The horse screamed in agony, collapsing as its belly was torn open.

Tonto jumped clear of the horse, landing nimbly on his feet as he drew his six gun in one hand and his bone knife in his other. Facing him, standing over the body of his belowed horse, was a velociraptor...

[The fat ninja]

With the grace that implied years of gunfighting Tonto dropped to a knee and fired off six shots from his revolver. As each report sounded the raptor came closer and closer to the now crouching indian. After the shots quit echoing in the distance tonto stood the mass of bloody flesh that was the alpha preditor of his time lay dead at his feet. "Sorry old friend twas either you or me" thought Tonto holstered his six gun and began to walk away from this cursed farm that had caused so many so much pain.
Minutes strung into hours upon hours. Tontos vision began to blur as the underbrush gave way to desert. The heat of the desert sun beating down upon his head enough to make the average man go mad, but Tonto was no normal man, so onward he pressed.
The days gave way to night and the night to another day and Tonto lost track of his destination, which was uncertain to begin with. On the third day the exhaustion of the fighting and the life draining effect of the heat and lack of nurishment the indian reached an encampment of workers constructing some odd machinery within the desert.
The workers picked the near death wanderer up off the sand and dragged him to the construction comand post where he was presented before the overseer of the operation.
The armored man stood rigid in the desert sun trying to modivate the workers to form some sort of efficency. The rarity of the mineral deposits exisiting only in this location more than made up for the vast expense and loss of labor to peal it from the Earth. The word that a native had been found wandering near insanity just off the work site troubvled the dictator. "What might he know of what I am going to attept here, but no chances can be risked" he thought.
It was not long before a shell of the man that was Tonto stood upon a tiled floor in front of a man behind a mask. "I ...I...I" was all Tonto could get past his lips before the man in green spoke. "You have trespassed upon Latvarian soil without my permission. You shall find that the desert is much more forgiving than I." and with that a beam of light shot from his gauntlet and Tonto was nothing more than a bloody smear in front of the foreman of the operation, the mind behind the science, the dictator, the legend Victor von Doom!

[hawkeye106]

As Dr.Doom stood and admired his handy work he was suddenly knocked over by an earth quake. "Time to die!" shouted the Blob as he, Mystique, Pyro, and Avlanch stood before the Dictator. "None may assault my royal personage!" Doom cried as he blasted Avalance with a ray of energy t5hat issued from his gauntlet. The Brotherhood of Mutants were left stunned at the ashes that were once their teammate. "Now," Doom said,"Which one of you shall face me next."

[Kalel21]

Pyro blasted a stream of fire at Doom, who seemed unaffected. But the Blob charged forward--Pyro cut off the flames just before the Blob reached Doom--the Blob slammed into Doom, rocking the armored dictator backwards.

But Doom retained his balance. He fired a wrist rocket at the Blob.

But the mutant's ability kept him rooted to the ground, able to shrug off the force of the explosion.

Mystique came up behind Doom while the dictator was distracted by the other two mutants. She removed a small electronic devise from her pouch and, leaping forward, attached it to Doom's back...

[hawkeye106]

The Device exploded and took Mystique'sw hand with it. Doom laughed"Did you think You could take me so unaweres!" A simple hand blast from his gauntlet, and Mystique was gone. Amazed, Pyro and Blob stared at the remains of their team mates. "Ah, we should cheez it mate!" Yelled Pyro as he ran from the scene, only to have his neck snapped like a twig by a Doombot. THe blob, angry and suprised, had his neck cut by a secound Doombot. As The Monarch stood over his foes, Doom smiled at the attempt to end his life. It was then that an arrow plunged throgh his armor's eyeslot and into his eye. Beffore he could shout, An axe split through his chest. A sword cut through one of the Doombots as one of the assailants shouted "Elendi! Elendi!"
Arogorn, Gimili, and Legolas stood for a moment to admire their work when....

[bladesword]

Evil slayer Faith walks up with a battle axe in one hand and a crosbow in the other, she just stands there and smiles, while saying "Have you seen B?"

[Kalel21]

The ensuing battle lasted for hours. Faith fell early, taking down a half-dozen Doombots before her end. Gimli and Legolas stood back to back and managed to wipe out the remaining army of Doombots before they too died. Finally, Aragorn and Doom faced off. Doom blasted the Ranger again and again, but Aragorn's sword blocked each of the blasts (I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF HIS SWORD!!! HOW EMBARRASSING).

Finally, Doom's power began to wane as he was forced to tap into his armor's energy reserves. Seeing his chance, Aragorn leaped forward and slashed. Doom's head flew from his shoulders. The monarch of Latveria had at last met his end.

Aragorn slumped to the ground, himself exhausted. Around him were the bodies of the slain and the wrecked remains of the mining equipment. The Ranger mourned his fallen comrades, but realized that he must move on quickly before the desert claimed his bones as well.

Resting until nightfall, he then filled his canteen from a well. He started his trek across the desert with a full moon lighting his way. After several hours, he spotted something standing atop a sand dune in front of him.

Approaching carefully, he saw it was Frankenstein's Monster. Seeing the Ranger,the Monster roared in rage and charged down the dune at him...

[hawkeye106]

The monster, still damaged from his fight earliar, was little trouble for Aragorn to dispatch. Andruil shown as she hacked the beast to bits. But then, Aragorn was assaulted by non other than........

[bladesword]

El Blanco (from the movie tremors 2) explods from right under Aragorn's feet and swallows him whole. Then El Blanco races to the biggest vibration he can feel withing a hundred mile radius. Going due south he pops out of the ground to the suprise of tchalla....

[Kalel21]

Fortunately, the Black Panther was equipped for just such an emergency. Pulling a small sonic devise from belt pouch, he places this near a rocky outcropping. He activates the devise and then leaps atop the rocks.

El Blanco immediately turned towards the new sound. Ploughing through the earth just beneath the surface, the giant worm seemed certain to plow fatally into the rocks.

But then it slowed. Its head popped from beneath the surface, hissing loudly, before tunnelling back beneath the ground. El Blanco began to burrow again, circling slowly around the outcropping.

Black Panther frowned beneath his mask. The worm hadn't fallen for his trick. Now he was trapped atop this rock. He began to plan his next move...

[bladesword]

As the Black Panther is looking down at the circleing graboid, three assblasters see his radiated heat through the canapy.
They dive down after him at the same time El Blanco takes another grab for Panther. In a split second Black Panther relizes to late that his right arm is between an assblaster and the graboid. El Blanco comes out with a meal of assblaster and Panther arm.

[A1CPAT]

As the battle raged on...the Black Panther was unaware of events transpiring one hundred miles away. The mutant Avalanche had been reduced to dust minutes earlier by an energy blast from the gauntlet of the monarch from Latveria. Doom's energy weapon triggered Avalanche's secondary mutation. As his burned pieces fell to the ground he became one with the soil. He felt his conciousness in the ground itself. Clarity of thought vanished for the transformed mutant. All he had now were feelings. Feelings of vengeance. He now commanded all of the earth itself.

For the Panther and Company, the ground began to shake. Tall spires of rock shot up from the ground at Avalanche's command impaling all of the combatants, leaving them bloody and dead.

But the need for blood did not stop for the Avalanche earth monster. He took shape by forming soil and earth into a giant man shaped construct and began his assualt on New York's westchester county...home of the Uncanny X-Men!

[The fat ninja]

The Earth monster formed a fist out of the ground and raised slamed it into the front of the school. Slowly a second hand formed out of the ground and followed the other destroying the building.
The residents of the school were sudenly shaken awake from their sleep by the violent assult on their home. The students rushed into the main room to see the now fully formed goliath totaly formed beast that had once been Avalanche advancing now focused on the inhabitants of the building rathar than the structure itself.
Asessig the situation Scott Summers straped on his visor "common X-men, Letts teach this guy not to act up at school." and with an optic blast the fight was on.

[CyberVenom]

One by one, the X-Men fell at the unwavering mountains that Avalanche now called hands. Jean Grey attempted to get control of the monster's mind, but was quickly overwhelmed at the "sight" of a giant mound of brain in the center of the Earth.

As Prof. X, aided by Colossus and Wolverine (the only two X-Men left standing), attempted to get back inside the Mansion and to Cerebro, he realized the futility of trying to find any humanity left in the being once known as Avalanche and psychically called to the once person that could save the world......


The Mole Man.

[Spyder's Web]

Unfortunately for Prof X, the Mole Man was already dead, crushed to death by Avalanche. Prof X died quickly, as did the rest of the world, except for the only two who couldn't be killed.........Wolverine and Colossus. Instead of trying to save the rest of the world, like they should have, Wolverine and Colossus took the last spaceship and blasted off for the only two who could help them....the Silver Surfer and Thanos.......

[The fat ninja]

As the space ship neared the outer moons of Saturn the heroes began to feel a bit uneasy. The last time that they had seen the purple skinned madman he had nearly destroyed the entire universe in a mad attempt to woo death.
The scene that they walked in upon was completely unexpected. Around a table sat the Silver Surfer, Thanos and the former Earth's Sorcerer Supreme Vincent Strange sitting there ... having coffee.
"Umm I dont know what kind of frilly doodads you bubs got in the works for later," asserted an obviously shaken Logan but if you havnt noticed Earth is in a bit of a tight spot, and I aint about to let you sit here and reminice until its too late."
The three sitting at the table hardly gave the enraged Xman the time of day as they sat and sipped their drinks. Finnally Dr Strange broke the silence "My dear Logan, the immediate predicament Earth finds itself in is exactly what brings us here together today, please sit weve been expecting you."
He gestures and two chairs appear where none had been before at one place a tall boy can of beer and cigar, next to it a bottle of Koniac.
The Surfer then spoke" and now that we all have arrived let us get to the point..."

[Kalel21]

Wolverine was guzzling beer and did a spit take when the Surfer said "The explanation for all that has happened leads to the inevitable conclusion that we are merely fictional characters caught in an endless loop of violence by apparently insane Internet users."

"What the %&*$#@#%%@ do you mean we're fictional?" shouted Logan.

"The Surfer is correct," said Dr. Strange. "Not long ago, someone on an alternate Earth started a thread on something called a 'fan fiction' forum on the Internet. Not realizing that a solar flare was causing a weakening of the borders between dimensions, this Internet user effectively created a parallel reality. Other users added to the thread, slowly building upon this new reality."

"That's why all these fights, coming one after another, seemed to make no logical sense," muttered Colossos. "I wondered what the guys from Lord of the Rings and Buffy were doing in our reality."

"Yes," agreed Dr. Strange. "And, although the girls from Buffy are extraordinarly hot, it all means that we are trapped in an existance that has no real story sense to it--the fighting will just go on and on forever, without hope of final resolution."

"We've gotta be able to do something," shouted Logan.

"Stop shouting," muttered Thanos, who had been drinking far too much of Wolverine's beer. "I've got a splitting headache."

"There is one possible solution," said Dr. Strange. "But it mean great danger for us all." He leaned forward. "Here's my plan..."

[bladesword]

Right before Dr. Strange can utter a word a ship in the shape of a disc pulles up and out comes one of the strangest groups of individuals that any of them have seen. Luke Skywalker comes running up with Han Solo and Chewie with Spock, Worf, and Data, yelling stop can we help we don't know how we got here but we will help fix it if we can.

[A1CPAT]

At the request of Dr. Strange, Wolverine quickly killed the three Star Wars Characters. "Their presence here would only have slowed our progress" Strange explained.
"The weakend barrier between realites needs to be repaired" The Silver Surfer interjected. "Presicely" said Strange. "We have to somehow produce enough energy to seal the rift."
"The human body can generate something like 10,000 BTU's of bioelectric power!" Thanos exclaimed in a drunken state.
"Stupid Comarade!" Colossus said angrily. "That's just another movie plot entering our reality!"
"Wait!" Strange interupted. "He may be on to something. If we could somehow enslave all of the minds left on earth and hook them up to a powerful computer program, we could use all of the energy their bodies produce to seal the rift!"
"Good idea!" The Surfer agreed. "I will use the power cosmic to amplify your magical abilites while you cast the spell to enslave humanity."
Wolverine offered the use of the X-Men's Shi'Ar technology to use as the computer program. The plan seemed to coming together nicely. Thanos continued to drink, muttering insane comments about how if he still had the stupid Infinity Gauntlet, he could fix everything.
One by one the remaining lives on earth were magically summoned into a super computer program allowing them to believe that they were still living their own lives. If only in a dream.
"It's working!" the surfer yelled as he absorbed all of the earthlings power.
He began channeling all of the energy towards the rift at the edge of reality.
But the plan was not foolproof after all. As the rift began to close... a horrifying site befell the surfer's eyes just before all of that reality came to an end...The Smurfs had taken over the universe.

[Spyder's Web]

The Silver Surfer did'nt have the chance to scream. Colossus did. Logan, well, ran off with Thanos, who was still guzzling beer, and swearing that by Death he couldn't kill them. They had to think of another way. But before they could, Dr. Strange's head flew into Logan's hands. Revolted, Logan dropped the head, but, as usual, didn't have time to scream. Logan was dead, and the hope of the entire universe lies in the hands of a VERY drunken Thanos!

[Masada]

Thanos blinked, lifted his head, and looked around the room. What a nightmare! He felt cold, and pulled down his covers. Ah dang it, he'd wet the bed again!

Outside, Frankenstein's Monster approached the door...

Not a continuation of the story, but a comment on the action so far:

I had no idea Smurfs were this powerful. I always thought their only power was to be super-annoying.
