Nid vs. Z in the ice caverns.

[Deleted]

Alright, both competitors will start at opposite ends. The entire area can be explored and destroyed. I wanna see clean fighting all the way though. So no... Screw it go all out! Begin!

[z]

Z had been told by the Head Necromancer, Lucifer that there was a target whom had been a pain to the order for too long, and she had been sent to deal with him.
Z herself was only an apprentice to the Necromancer order, but she was a skilled one at that.

Moving through the darkness of the ice caves, making a light for in her hand from elemental magic so she may see, she had her two Undead Ultra's at her side.
Each of which sported heavier armor. One of them carried a large battle axe, the second, a shield and spear When she made it to the needed location she looked around.

"This is the place..." Clapping her hands she summoned two more Undead Ultras.

"Find the infidel who dares to insult the Necromancer order!" She said, pointing out into the cave. In her left hand was the "Frying Pan of Abomination" which looked like a full black frying pan, but then an eye opened in the bottom, looking around before it shifted and became a shield which fused to the young Necromancer's skin.

Her Ultra's fanned out into the caverns, their low moans and hissing of the zombies echoed slightly as they began looking anywhere the whelp could be hiding.

[redgrim]

Nid teleported onto the opposite side of the battlefield from Z. His silver metallic humanoid body gleamed from the light in his opponent’s hand. His sentry was strapped to his back at the moment in order for him to carry it, it looked like he was going to need to use it sooner than he expected. 5 against 1 seemed a bit unfair, but he could remedy that.

He dropped the sentry to the ground and it made a beeping noise to confirm that it has been activated, it aimed for the closest of the zombie ultras, but it didn’t fire just yet. Nid did not speak a word because he lacked a mouth, in fact he had no describable facial features at all. His upper left arm morphed into a blade like shape, but it looked as though its purpose was more for stabbing not slashing. He left his right hand in its original form as blue static began to form around it.

Nid’s sentry began to blast both its machine gun barrels at the zombie ultra it initially aimed at, while Nid blasted his force lightning at another. Whether his blast hit the zombie or not didn’t matter to him as he ran toward one of the other zombie ultras and jabbed his blade forward toward the mid-section of the zombie’s body.

[z]

The ultra whom was aimed at by the Sentry had its legs blown out from under it. Though that would not stop her zombies. The ultra began crawling and hissing. The next was blasted into with lightning, this lightmning would pulse in the brain and cause the ultra's head to explode from pressure. Meanwhile Z's opponent made a stupid mistake...

Her Ultra he tried attacking with his sword, when the blade drove into the zombies chest it hissed and began biting and slashing at the man whom had gotten too close.

If it did bite him, her opponents blood would be contaminated and in a matter of minutes he would become one of her undead if he did not seek help.

Z on the other hand stood on her perch, for each undead Ultra that went down she summoned two lightweight infantry undead. These undead did not cause her too much energy, but in the long run her Undead horde would drain her if she over did it.

[redgrim]

Even after Nid’s sentry took out the zombie’s legs, it did not stop firing the barrage of bullets at the incapacitated zombie. The sentry then detected the new enemies that arrived to the battlefield and changed the direction of fire towards them for a couple seconds. After it had shot a few rotations of bullets it quickly turned back to the crawling ultra zombie. It repeated this pattern about every 10 seconds.

Nid did not care for the zombie’s attempt at resistance, it did bite and scratch at him, but it was more of an annoyance than anything else. He is made of liquid metal he has no blood for Z’s zombies to infect.

Nid placed his hand over the shoulder of the zombie in preparation for his next move. He morphed the blade that was still within the zombie into a more cutlass like shape and forced it upward which would split the zombie into two from the chest up.

Nid had forgotten of the fourth zombie ultra that his opponent had and was unsure if he had killed the ultra with the battle axe yet, since that one would seem to be the largest threat besides Z herself.

[z]

Her personal guard, an Ultra she had named "Obelisk" whom wore much heavier armor and carried his battleaxe at the ready was, unlike the other Undead, smart. He was smart to the point where he could lead a squad of mindless undead, but no one could understand his speech besides Z.

The lightweight infantry joined with Obelisk. Another unique thing about Obelisk, was that even if he was destroyed, Z could always rebuild him later, reanimating her favorite creation was not much of a problem to her in the end.

Each of the lightweight infantry either old fashioned rifles, Spears and shields, or bows. As soon as Obelisk let out a long series of hissing, they all opened fire, and the shield wielding zombies moved up, hiding behind the moving cover.

While this happened, Obelisk backed out of the fight and crawled up the rocks to his masters side.
Letting out a few hisses, that other humans, or otherwise would not understand Z smiled and waved her staff while her shape shifting weapon remained on her arm. She waved the staff about over her head before pointing it up into the air.

Darkness engulfed the area and all that seemed to make even the faintest glow were the lights from Nid's sentry(?) and the faint glow of her undead's red eyes.
Z could only hold this spell for two to three minutes at the most, unlike the High Necromancers whom could do it for days on end.
But in the end, this could not only give her undead the advantage since they could see in the dark, though that would depend whether her opponent could see in the dark or not. But this would also augment her undead's abilities. Their strength, and speed would increase, and their ruthlessness and effectiveness in attack would make it only harder on her enemy.

[redgrim]

Nid let the body of the zombie he had just split in two fall to the ground. He turned over to see a large amount of zombies in some sort of formation as well as firing at him. Suddenly the light that filled in the cavern had disappeared, darkness had filled the area. Nid took the bullets, but with the type of guns they were using the bullet weren’t strong enough to pierce through his liquid body and he just sort of absorbed them.

Assuming that the sentry took out the crawling Ultra zombie, it now could focus all its fire power toward the group of 6 light infantry zombies. Since they were focusing on Nid the sentry could easily take them out. The sudden darkness did not affect the machine it was still able to lock onto its targets and blast large cycle of bullets at them. The possibility of the zombies dodging the bullets would not be impossible since their speed was increased, but it would seem very unlikely that all of them would get out of the way in time without being hit once.

The lack of light was going to be a bit of a problem, changing to infrared sight wouldn’t help against cold undead bodies in a cold environment. He charged up his force lightning in his right hand, which gave off enough light for him to see anything close to in front of him. Knowing that the zombies would probably shoot again he retreated to his sentry since it was firing at the zombies already. But he did not leave without blasting a much stronger concentration of lightning at his foes.

[z]

Most of her ranged undead had fallen to the Sentry, but the bullets quite literally split around the shield wielding ones. Obelisk and Z watched as her opponent made his own light, though that would only allow him to see things close to him...

Twas time to get... Creative...

Z whispered in Necromacy rune, summoning three unique looking monsters. They had the look of a Dragon to them, and they crawled along the floor. They did not seem to be undead, no, but they were demons. Very low classed demons compared the what else Z had watched Necromancers summon.

The Demons all let out a roar and vanished from sight, though their outline could still faintly be seen.

z did not know if her opponent would see them, or if the sentry could, but either way if he did not stop them they would tear him to shreds, metal or not.
The trio of monsters scurried with the shielded undead in the dark at the man, charging aggressively and quick toward him. If they were to reach her opponent, they would easily tear into him.... and just to make it harder, Z stomped her foot onto the ice she stood on and the room shook for a moment.

Ice rounded in the air and formed into six very large spikes. As they drove down, they seemed to sharpen even more. If the spiked had connected, the man would be impaled by many angles, and nothing could come back from that, not even a zombie.

And once again, in the lust to end this she looked at Obelisk and nodded. The powerful Undead Ultra leaped down on the right side of their opponent and joined the charge, his already amazing strength and speed increased by the darkness.

[redgrim]

Nid heard the summoning of the dragon-type monstrosities and heard their bloodlust roar, he was sure these were no zombies, which meant they could give off some kind of heat signature. Nid activated his infrared vision and could now see them by the heat they gave off. He morphed his left hand back into its original humanoid form to charge up his force lightning in both of his hands. He couldn’t see the other zombies, but that was not his biggest concern at the moment.

Nid’s sentry detected the demons and unloaded as much bullets as it could as fast as it could. The sentry was also able to detect the surviving undead soldiers and blasted at them for a short period of time, but the demons were a bigger threat than the small infantry, so it continued to shoot at the hell spawns.

Nid could see the demons’ body heat charging at him, but before he could blast his lightning at them the whole arena shook. This could mean nothing good, so he attempted to blast the place of origin from whence the rumble came from. He charged up his force lightning again upon looking back at the charging demons, but there was not nearly enough time to blast them before they reached him. There were too many for close combat he needed to pick them off from a far distance.

Nid decided to teleport away to the far left side of the room as far as he could go (which is about 10 meters) and continued to charge the lightning in his hands. He unknowingly left Z’s pets to be impaled by her own ice spikes, as well as his own sentry, its chance of survival was as slim as the other enemies.

[z]

Te spikes drove into her Demons, but also that accursed Sentry... She saw as the machine went out. She did not know if that meant it was out of her hair or if it had some kind of repair function. But now, all her leftover ranged undead, shield wielders, and Obelisk turned.

Obelisk, approaching a shielded undead and yanked the shield from its hands as he took cover and moved towards his masters target. The others were now usinging what was left of their bows and guns to try and break through to Nid, and the shielded ones just continued to move up.
The darkness that kept her undead this strong and ruthless was begining to let up, and at this point Z had almost completely tired out her magic... But she had enough to do one more thing while she recovered it...

Bulling a thick dome of ice around her body, evn if the man she was fighting were strong this ice would take a few moments to crack... That was all she needed as she floated up and began breathing in the air... This would slowly recover her energy, and the cycle of this battle would begin again and again until there was a victor.

[redgrim]

Nid switch back to his regular vision as the enemies it was intended for were now obsolete, also the room started to become light enough for him to at least see his enemies. Though the loss of his sentry meant things were about to become a lot more difficult. He noticed the Mage was floating about over head and unleashed his force lightning at her one hand at a time. The first was to melt the ice with its heat and the second hand was to strike her. Even if it wasn’t to work that way, one strike would bound to hit her.

The shots fired by the ranged zombies was more like a warning to pay attention to them because like last time the shots fired did not affect him too greatly, in fact they were farther away this time. He saw once again a horde of creatures coming towards him in an attempt to kill him. He morphed his left hand into a cutlass shape now that he learned the stabbing weapon is almost completely useless again the zombies. He noticed that the zombie Ultra had a shield, so he decided he needed to match his opponent by morphing his right arm into a shield as well.

Nid ran at the shielded zombies with his own shield in front of him protecting his body. He took a mighty swing of his cutlass toward the neck of the zombie at one side of the line and attempted to slash down the rest of the groups’ heads.

[z]

When the blade came for Obelisk he blocked it with the shield and swung around with his axe, a hiss echoing out loud, Obelisk rammed his shield into the man and roared in anger, as Nid chopped at the others who were moving at him, one blocked with their shield and the other went down with the jaws on its head still snapping at him.

Z was safe in her orb for now, but it was damaged... And suddenly, with a cackle she forced her hands outward and the ball of ice broke and formed into spikes, each of them flying at Nid yet again.

Z had recovered her energy and she was ready to make the fight much harder.

[redgrim]

Nid was pushed back by the undead ultra’s shield, but was not set off balance. He has had enough of Z’s pawns, if she was not coming to him, he was going to her. Since her protective ice shield was now gone this was the perfect moment to strike. He lifted his shield in front of him to protect himself and made his bladed arm end on a curve.

The next moment he vanished from the zombies’ sight and reappeared behind Z up in the air. He had less than a second to attack before he would fall to the ground. He swung his large hook like arm in an overhand motion aiming for her shoulder or her back. He had his shield out in front of him protecting his body as well as his head from anything she would throw at him if this were successful.

Nid’s plan was to jab into Z and try to latch on, if he was successful there were two possible outcomes, she would be able to continue floating with Nid hanging off of her or his weight would drive her to the ground. It really depended on how exactly her flying powers worked or how strong she was, but he could work with either one.

Once again Z had tried to throw large icicles at Nid, but as last time he was now out of the way and Z’s soldiers were now in the line of fire.

Z's use of necromancy is fresh, new, and actually kind of kick ass. She essentially just sit backs and lets the zombies do the rest.

Nid did some interesting things with his Terminator like character. It's only unfortunate that he could not hit Z. Better luck next time.
