The Returnination (Trilby Vs Legion)

[Soulstep]

Background Music:



Reality distorted.

A gate opened, spilling forth colours incomprehesible to the human mind, shapes unrestrained from the paltry 4 dimensions of time and space forming in the clouds, shapes that couldn't be looked at for more than instant without driving those with weak minds insane. The universe itself seemed to recoil from the Warp portal.

7 humanoid shapes materialised in the mind-bending smog, dropping down from the daemonic realm into reality. One was clearly human, the others sported purple or pink skin, in female forms, with various appendages like scythe blades or claws protruding from their arms. They flanked the human, 3 either side, with the 2 closest holding items. One placed the first object, a plain black trilby, onto the human's head.

The second passed him a sheathed blade. The instant the man's hand touched the hilt, the portal abruptly snapped out of existance, leaving only a faint trail of colour that soon evaporated.

"Well now..." The human spoke, unsheathing the blade. It's metal was a dull purple colour, that crackled into life as it left its container, purple lighting arcing out, crackling fiercely at the air like a cornered rat.

"Long time no see..." Trilby grinned, belting the sheathe to his waist as the daemonettes took up fighting stances. He peaked his namesake hat up slightly, to face his opponent. "Hope you don't mind the theatrics, but a bit of a fun is a bit of fun, no?"

[tincanhitman]

Tin-Can sat, allowing the dusty wind blew around him. He wore his black robes with gold trim and gold kanji reading "Human without humanity" At each of his sides rested a katan, one with a gold lightning bolt etched into it and one with a gold flame on it.

He was an ultimate being, he had the soul of a demon and a human, intertwined, and the super body of a robot. He was perfect in every sense of the word. He had perfectly tanned skin and dark misty eyes and shaggy brown hair.

He looked over is shoulder, still sitting with his legs crossed in the dusty street. He looked over his shoulder, smirking.

"Cracker...I didn't expect a harem to follow you...ha ha ha...i hope you are prepared, i do recall you deign a lot, and that was to the previous champion...i am the new one, i am less honor bound..." he said turning and standing all in one fluid motion, he rested his hands on his blades.

"And you brought your... lovely...lady friends, great. Why not throw a party, you actually came back. Its a shame you came to me first though, i will not be an easy win." He spread his stance out, allowing himself to take up a defensive stance.

[Soulstep]

"Ah, Tin. Just my luck, eh?" Trilby chuckled, sending a further pulse of soul energy down the katana, and it flared again in lightning. "When has winning ever been easy for me? But you know what they say about underdogs..."

The 7 servants of Slaanesh darted forwards, blades and similar appendages poised to attack. The daemonettes slightly outpaced Trilby, swinging a rain of unnaturally sharp arm-scythes and claws at the champion. Trilby rolled under them, and brought the Soul Blade in a vicious swipe at Tin's knees. They had no chance if they fought him one at a time, their only chance was to try to overwhelm him with as many attacks as they could throw at once.

[tincanhitman]

Tin reacted by flipping gracefully up and backwards, dodging the slash to his knees and suddenly slashing, with inhuman speed, at the daemonettes, a gold arch in the in the direction of his slash flaring outwards.

He landed with his blades drawn and began to laugh

"Hahahahah come on Cracker you can do better!" he emphasized better by doing a whirl wind dervish attack, his blades becoming blurs as he began to try to cut his way through to cracker, gold archs coming off of his blade.

[Soulstep]

"BUGGER!" Trilby shouted, as one by one his daemonettes were cut down, half dropping lifeless and being sucked back into the warp by the time Trilby had risen to his feet.

Luckily, he wasn't as bad in melee as Tin seemed to think, and he blocked with his katana, the lighting flaring in anger at the presence of the opponent's blade, attempting to destroy its essence. He feigned an attack towards Tin's head, only to to jump back and then stab forwards at his opponent's chest. Meanwhile, the 3 remaining daemonettes did all they could to keep Tin distracted from their summoner.

[tincanhitman]

Tin flung his blade and blocked Trilby's, then rolled backwards, coming up into a reverse flip. He then grabbed his sleeves, them being cut from Trilby's daemonetes attacks and ripped them off to reveal spiked chains, digging into his fore arms.

They slid, seeming to be never ending, from his fore arms until they were pilled at his feat, he then began his dervish attack again, this time with super heated chains, flinging his long ranged attacks right at them.

[Soulstep]

Trilby's and his daemonette's expressions were one and the same. And while such complex facial movements typically require lengthy descriptions, theirs could very aptly referred to as the 'Oh Shit' face.

The quartet were torn apart, the daemonettes returning to the Warp, Trilby... Wasn't quite so clean. Body parts and blood stained the floor.

However, he wasn't the kind of guy who took death lying down.

A fresh Warp portal opened, this time Trilby emerged alone. His daemonettes needed to regain their strength, whereas he was ready to immediately jump back into the fray. Whether he would be in any such state after a second respawn was anyone's guess.

"Okay, so I'm still not a great swordsman. However..." Trilby said, sheathing his katana as a dark orange haze surrounding him. "I've learned a few new tricks in my absence."

His hands burst into flame, a blood red flame with an outer edge of rusty orange. It looked, in no short terms, evil.

"Tin, meet Hellfire." He said simply, slamming his fists into the ground and sending a wave of the malevolent fire straight towards the PvP champion, leaving unnatural scarring on the ground as it passed. Moments before it reached his opponent, Trilby thrust his hands to face above Tin, and fired a beam of flame right where he expected him to jump.

[tincanhitman]

The fire completely engulfed Tin, burning away his skin, leaving a metal skeletal structure. He twitched, its metal popping and pinging from the heat. Suddenly a huge burst of gold flame erupted from all around him and began to spin in a giant inferno until Trilby wouldn't be able to see him.

Finally once the flames died down what would stand before him would be huge


From it emanated gold flame, and it seemed to have a evil presence, very much like Trilby's.

You are not the only one with deamonic power.[/b][/size] a voice boomed out of no where, right inside of Trilby's mind, it was loud and harsh but not one of crippling effect. He spoke slowly, as if having a hard time focusing.

[Soulstep]

The fire died in Trilby's hands, and eyes, as he gawped at the... THING standing before him. He tried to think of some kind of witty response to keep his spirits up.

"...Eeep."

No, that wouldn't do. So, the hat-wearing soul-stealing-katana-wielding daemon-summoning and hellfire-manipulating mage decided on a new course of action.

Running away like a sissy.

Somehow, dying from this thing seemed like something far more serious than the usual slice in half.

He turned and sprinted away down an alley, hoping he could find somewhere to hide long enough to summon reinforcements. The entire cult of Slaanesh, perhaps.

[tincanhitman]

There was a loud flapping, as Tin took off from the ground in this new form, rising high above the buildings to see Trilby running in.

Wont Work Trlby...
The voice said, sending long cones of continual gold flames down at him, leaving only glass in its trail.

He had to fight to keep control, knowing the creature wanted to use its full power and demolish every thing in the entire area, and this, was not an option.

[Soulstep]

Well shit, that was one plan out the window. But Trilby knew that he had no way of fighting this thing as he was. He was out of options beyond continuing on and hoping to break lucky.

Unless...

"Worth a shot..." He muttered, yanking a small knife from his belt without breaking stride as the gold flames licked at his heels. He rolled up his sleeve to reveal a glowing Slaaneshi tattoo. Without hesitation, he slashed his own flesh, the blood immediately being absorbed into the tattoo which pulsed brightly for a second.

Slaanesh deemed this fight amusing enough to oblige her servant.

Warp portal after Warp portal tore their way into reality, and out strode Noise Marines onto the rooftops, hefting their sonic cannons. A further one opened directly ahead of Trilby and he dived in, re-emerging on a rooftop alongside his 6 daemonettes. He shouted an order to the Noise Marines, who opened up their unholy music upon the similarly evil monstrosity in front of them.

[tincanhitman]

Tin Lost control, all the sudden sonic attacks where hurting HIS ears, so, he released the demon to control itself, still having the first priority of killing Trilby.

When he released it an audible and a visual effect took place. Audibly a loud crash and ripping happened as two more arms burst from his mid section, and visually he changed from a bright fluttering gold to a dark orangeish gold.

GRAAAAAAHHHH DIEEEEEE!!!!!

The beast shook from all the power hitting him, but suddenly all of his arms pointed at deferent roofs and began to fire its larger beams of fire, now glowing orange gold like him.

[Soulstep]

Building after building collapsed, burying the Noise Marines standing on top under hundreds of tons of rubble. A few remained, still firing at the beast, as Trilby and his daemonettes backed up. "Shitshitshitshit..." He muttered, drawing his katana again and flaring it up. If this worked, at the very least this thing would be weakened. If not... Well, it wouldn't be the first time he was turned to ashes.

"Ladies..." He said, looking around at them as they nodded in agreement at his unspoken plan.

"Let's go."

The 7 ran forwards at full pelt, then used all of their energy to leap off directly at what used to be Tin. Trilby's katana pulsed rapidly in excitement.

"SOUL SLASH!!!" He bellowed, swinging the blade in an overhead strike aimed right in where he assumed the heart to be.

[tincanhitman]

Tin brought his lower arms up in front of his higher arms and blocked the slash, mostly. His bottom arms now had no hands and this angered him.

He drew his giant blade and swung it, trying to slice trilby's arm off.

He other hand began to fire thousands of little fire balls, trying to burn Trilby's minions.

DIE TRILBY!!!!!! the voice didn't just boom it reverberated off of the walls of Trilby's chaotic mind.

[Soulstep]

Trilby had no time to react.

His arm was completely severed, and worse, it was his arm that held his tattoo. As a result, his summoned allies were all violently recalled into the Warp, and he lost most of his power as well as his sword, which spun away from him away into the streets. Reclaiming it however would not be an issue, it was bound to his sheathe.

However, there was the more pressing issue of dying to attend to.

Trilby plummeted to the ground, pratically unconcious. The distance he fell meant that upon impact with the road's surface, he cracked straight through the glass left from the beast's flame and sickeningly splattered across the tarmac, like a bag of chunky salsa being... Well, dropped onto a road from 20 stories up.

He respawned, of course, but in the Warp, in the middle of a heap of his daemonettes who were still trying to recover from the recall. Groaning, he told them the bad news.

"I think we lost again."

[tincanhitman]

He landed and took control from the beast, and then pushed himself back into his 'human' form.

He walked up to Trilby...well what was left of him and began to laugh. "To bad, i had a more fitting death for you..." He sat down and began to meditate again, allowing his mind to roam, enjoying the hot wind on his face.
