Duffle Vs. Monkey in Labryinth

[Kenny]

The setting is a large maze inside a large cube-building in middair. While the walls cannot be broken the maze walls CAN but are hard to break. The only light comes from the glass roof, making it a quite dark environment. (Note: Duffle your solar stuff works fine)

[Dufflepud]

Rhadriar's steely expression did not match his inner joy, as he stepped into the narrow corridoor that made up a part of the massive cube labyrinth in which he had arrived. For the first time in centuries, he had found a worthy opponent. Drawing his weapon, waited in the pseudo darkness for his competition to arrive.

[Deleted]

Monkey entered the darkness and glanced around. Small, dark, narrow, and puzzling. Everything here was a trick of mentallity. If the small and narrow spaces didn't drive you into clausterphobia, the darkness would claim you, and the puzzling navigation was on a tier all on its own. Monkey sighed alloud.

"Well at least Kenny can make it interesting enough to keep me on my toes.", Monkey spoke to himself.

"You're rather calm considering your best chance at navigating this place isn't available to use."

A voice echoed in his head, one that he was more than familiar with. It was one of his "Denizens" that resided in his soul. The only one with him though was the one who he had access to. Dark Monkey teased Monkey for not having his other powers available. But Monkey shrugged off the attempt and smirked.

"So? I don't need beast form to get through this, it would just make finding the other guy easier. At least this way I can play a little in that special insane way. Right?" Monkey seemed to tease.

"Oh so your going back to the old way? This should be fun. Just let me know when I get to play."

And with that, Monkey began to stroll down the hall whistling a merry tune.

[Dufflepud]

Suddenly, out of the inky blackness of the corridors, a sweet tune floated to Rhadriar's ears. Following it down the Hallway, he lit the path behind him with tiny psionic orbs that fed off of the darkness to produce their light. the result was a pulsating glow, but it would have to do.

Suddenly, he came face to face with his challenger. He was of about equal height, and had a certain simian quality to him. The deathless grabbed his blade, bringing it up in a sweeping and respectful salute.

"Good luck, challenger" he said in a deep, inhuman voice.

[Deleted]

Monkey stared at the hooded man with the blade. His stare was more of an annoyed blankness rather than fear or anger.

"So we're doing the whole "Persona" thing huh? Alright then, suppose I can play along.", Monkey said before clearing his throat and beginning his psuedo speech before tappering off, "Hark, an adversary! I suppose thou ist thy opponent in this dual to the death no? Very well, I shall bring forth my blade so we may engage in merry fisticuffs. I hope for a good fight and hope this will be a good game, no hard feelings, yada yada yada... Do we really need to do this Duffle?"

Monkey sighed out of annoyance before pointing his blade back. He looked over the appearance of the man and shrugged.

"I mean really, this is our first actual fight, and I mean I really wanted Tin and Kenny, but you for the first round is... I wanna say silly, but that would be mean to you... So how about very one sided? But hey, whenever your ready.", Monkey said as he took his stance and held his katana with both hands.

[Dufflepud]

Duffle grinned.

"Very well, creature" he mocked, "This IS a roleplaying forum, but if you insist, I'll drop the act"

With that, he swung his blade in a low arc, and a torrent of psionic energy swept forwards, tearing up the ground and blowing the top off of the tunnel to reveal the glass roof above. Light shone down upon him and he felt his blade taking it in, replentishing his own energy reserve.

"I wouldn't be so sure of your victory just yet, Monkey!" he called out.

[Deleted]

Monkey watched the incoming attack and a tiny mental switch flipped. He suddenly grinned as if he was suddenly extremely excited.

"Oh so you think you can push me?", Monkey roared, "Chaos Blast!"

With that, Monkey threw out his left hand and an orb of energy shot out, clashing with the psonic energy and causing a loud explosion to echo through the labrynth. Monkey stood where he was and didn't move as the resulting smoke cleared and he glared at Duffle.

"Alright then Duffle, push me!", Monkey said as he formed a sadistic grin.

"When the choas abounds and the night comes around, they send out the hounds to take him to town. This is really the old style of insanity, welcome back King."

[Dufflepud]

Duffle raised his blade into the air, and the light shining down upon the destroyed hallway appeared to funnel into the tip. Electricity crackled up and down his armor, and the blade itself began to glow blue. As he drew the light into him, the arena dimmed, as if it were sunrise of sunset.

Satisfied, he lowered his blade, feeling the new power sugring throughout his body.

"I don't need to push you physically to break you, Monkey!" he hissed psionically, though his lips did not move and he made no sound.

He rushed towards the primate, his blade driving forwards, while he simultaniously assaulted monkey mentaly, attempting to insert a pounding headache past Monkey's mental defenses.

Duffle leapt skyward, coming down thirty feet ahead of where he'd been and slicing his sword downward in an arc that left a visible trail of blue energy behind it.

[Deleted]

(For the epic: )

Monkey watched in anticipation. He watched Duffle prepare and got even more excited. The excitement was boiling over and Monkey began to visibly shake. He raised his blade and let energy gather in his own blade, making it appear to be cloaked in black flame. Then Duffle began to move. He felt the mental attack first and that did it more than anything. Monkey was a blur of motion as he launched up into the air at Duffle and smashed his blade into Duffle's. He continued to grin before attempting a very blunt headbutt into Duffle's face.

"I said push me, not impress me with a light show like I'm your alcoholic step dad.", Monkey taunted, "Come on Duffle, show me all you got, let's get wild, let's get crazy, let's go bat**** nuts!"

"Your really going all out, but these little mental waves are hardly a concern for a being developed in madness."

[Dufflepud]

Duffle took the headbutt without so muxh as a flinch, his powered armor hardening to solid metal at the point of impact, while even a centimeter away from the collision it remained supple and flexible. He might as well have head butted a wall.

Duffle landed on his feet, already rocketing forwards to slam his blade against monkey again. The weapon, pulsating with waves of psionic energy made a roar as it sliced through the air, and shimmering heat waves rolled off of its edges as the overcharged sword blazed with light and power.

"You always were a narcissistic ass, Monkey! To proud to know when you're outmatched!" he called out.

[Deleted]

Monkey let out a sigh as Duffle charged him and Monkey smashed his blade into Duffle's once more. He looked directly into Duffle's eyes and the smile faded slightly.

"I'm really not seeing the narcissism if all I want to do is fight strong people. Hell I'm far from the best if I ain't got half my powers or the PvP title. I just want to fight strong people, always have always will. It's all I want, strong people to test myself against, someone I can actually have fun against, and maybe even a strong rival. So I'll say this one more time so you can hear me loud and clear.", Monkey said as his left hand began to e covered in black flame, "I just want to enjoy a good fight, to be tested, and to actually be pushed. And You haven't done any of it yet! Chaos Meteor!"

Monkey lashed his fist at Duffle's jaw from below and the smile came back.

"It is not narcissism to want to fight, it is violence, and currently, King is extremely violent."

[Dufflepud]

Duffle's off hand, covered in his own psionic energy, caught Monkey's, blue flame dancing against black. His iron grip slowly crushed monkey's hand, not letting go, while he grinned in satisfaction.

"You're forgetting something, Monkey. Your blade is still contacting mine!"

As a vampiric blade, the sword had the ability to drain an opponent of energy to feed its wielder, and it just so happened to be connected to quite a source. Black energy began to funnel into his weapon as it went to work, and he grinned as the flames on Monkey's hand would soon begin to fade. At the same time, the pent up psionic energy in his off hand arced from him to his opponent in a blast that would hopefully do some damage.

[Deleted]

Monkey saw the energy arch at him and barely managed to swing his head to the left before glaring at Duffle. The energy shot into the wall behind him and he grinned even wider.

"Who said I forgot? I wanted this for two reasons. The first is so you could get a power boost and be intimidating for once in your life. The second, I just wanted to show you this.", Monkey said as he slowly opened up his mouth and a ball of energy formed on his tongue, "Chaos Flame!"

And as he roared, a black flame of energy shot out of Monkey's mouth and tried to wash over Duffle's head and neck. In that instance Monkey also brought up his left leg to kick Duffle in the chest while his vision was obscured.

"To use that tactic is quite reminicing of the old days, though you've only used it twice before. But I wonder why he puts such emphasis on your name, perhaps he means to talk to both of us?"

[Dufflepud]

Duffle fell backwards purposefully, avoiding the kick and the tongue of flame by simply allowing gravity to protect him. Leaping back up onto his feet, Dufflepud felt the new energy inside his body, and his blade glowed with a new color. Light and dark energies twined around one another in a perfect, destructive combination.

"I say you forgot!" taunted Duffle as he experimentaly fired off a blast of the new combination. Tendriles of black flame mixed with radiant psionic energy to create a nasty reaction that blew apart a nearby wall. Satisfied with the result, he leveled his blade at monkey.

"Lets see how you handle your own energy!" he roared, and the blade suddenly let loose a beam of blue light surrounded by black fire. It hurtled towards monkey, and Duffle grinned.

[Deleted]

"It might be a little tainted with wuss, but it's still the same stuff.", Monkey stated before driving his blade into it, "And even with your distasteful additions, it's still energy."

The energy split in half cleanly and shot into the floor and ceiling behind him. Monkey was pretty much on a small platform hanging from the walls to either side of him. He chuckled a little bit at Duffle before dropping the smile and going cold.

"You didn't even manage to move me from this spot... I'm outmatched when I haven't been forced to move back even a little? I think this narcissism thing is backwards Duffle. How about you call it quits before I get serious?", Monkey said flat out to Duffle.

"Gonna give him a last chance before letting me have my fun? Just let me have my way with him."

[Dufflepud]

"Oh, I can move you from your spot" chuckled Duffle, quickly blowing out the walls which held up Monkey's position with quick blasts of energy, "And you still haven't landed a single blow, whereas I successfuly drained you!"

Looking about, Duffle smiled once again. He turned back to Monkey, and suddenly, all of the rubble that had laid strewn about the floor lifted up into the air as if of its own accord, before suddenly hurtling towards Monkey in a cloud of debris. As each piece broke the sound barrier, a deafening roar was heard that shook the entire labyrinth.

[Deleted]

Monkey launched upwards as the platform gave way and looked down at Duffle. He watched as Duffle launched the debris at his as well. Monkey smashed the first one away and sliced the second in half, kicking once half into another rock.

"They say boxers watch fights of their upcoming opponents to understand their style. You fight far away and use leeching tricks like Saber to keep the fights to your advantage. Cause in reality, you suck at close range. Chaos Aura.", Monkey said as he formed an orb of energy around him, "And I've been going easy and playing around this whole fight. But if you want to be serious, fine. Let's get serious."

With that, three more large rocks smashed against his aura and created a heavy layer of dust. The aura shrunk away and Monkey was a blur of motion as he dashed towards Duffle. The first attack was a right fist at Duffle's head, then a left knee to his chest, the finale was a small charge of energy from his aura in his left hand at Duffle's right shoulder.

"Why give him the effort of trying? Blow him away! Destroy him! Tear him to shreds! Show him why you're strong!"

"If you want to be a big boy Duffle, then fight like a big boy. Show me you aren't the little Duffle from back then.", Monkey said as he ignored the voice demanding for blood.

[Dufflepud]

"Oh, do I, Monkey?" retorted Duffle, as herapidly backpedalled. The duelist leaned backwards, his balance perfect as he dodged the first two high strikes, each cutting through nothing but air. As the third energy attack bore down on his shoulder, he brough up his own fist, erecting an energy barrier that diverted the attack around him. He felt a rough jolt in his arm, but nothing more.

Leaning back into his attacker, he unleashed a flurry of high blows blows with his fists, his left covered in black flame and his right in pure psionic energy, before spinning around with a telekinetically enhanced kick designed to sweep out Monkey's legs.

"All you know how to do is rush blindly at your foes, Monkey! You never did utilize any kind of cohesive strategy!"

[Deleted]

Monkey threw his blade into the ceiling as it pierced the glass and began to block each blow. He allowed his right hand to glow with the same dark energy and smashed it into Duffle's own energy. He caught Duffle's left hand with his right and stared at Duffle with a proud smirk.

"Really? Duffle... You were one of the three I had hoped to see grow. There with Tin, Kenny, you stood as a hopeful. Unfortunately, you always got placed against the strongest fighters. At first I thought that it would make you lose hope. But you kept going, like a stubborn warrior. That made me proud. But now your going against me for the first time. I wanted to enjoy this the old way, but I think this will be the last time I play "Teacher" to you. You have by far improved the most of the three, and you hold no title nor no claim of victory, but you are the strongest of you three. So I'm proud of that. Now...", Monkey said as he jumped over Duffle's kick and went to dual kick Duffle down in the chest as he launched up towards the ceiling and smashed through glass and landed on it, "Come Duffle, to the summit of power and show me just what you've learned over these years. I will fight you as a warrior and show you everything I have."

Monkey twirled the katana of narration and waited for Duffle to arrive on the top of the glass. He intended fr this to be the end of the fight. Whether he or Duffle won, he would be happy with the end as long as Duffle saw the meaning of this final battle.

[Dufflepud]

Duffle took the kick to the chest, bending backwards untill his legs were bent at a ninety degree angle, before launching upwards like a spring. He burst through the glass breaking one of the many panes, and lightening himself with telekinetics as he landed on another.

Duffle crossed his arms, turning to face Monkey with a grin hidden by his mask.

"Challenge accepted!" he stated, before exploding into a charge, his feet barely touching the glass. Hhe clasped his blade with both hands, driving it forwards at Monkey's neck, only to suddenly disengage from the feint, diving to Monkey's left in a low roll while his blade sliced in at the simian's waist.

[Deleted]

(
Epic music for Duffle's sake.)

Monkey smirked before launching upward and above Duffle and his attack. He aimed his open left palm at Duffle and energy gathered.

"You need to stop aiming so low, or else your opponent will strike from above. Chaos Blast!", Monkey yelled as a beam of energy began to rain down on Duffle, "Try to aim higher and focus less on fients and more on the openings. If your offensive enough the opponent will leave openings for you, just as if your defensive enough they will leave themselves open after they attack."

[Dufflepud]

Duffle rolled to the side as the beam shattered the pane he had stood on moments before.

"Monkey, I have a question," said duffle tauntingly, "do you ever reserch your opponents? I mean of all places to take this, you had to choose the place where I was under direct sunlight!"

Duffle lifted his blade into the air, and the light shining down upon the massive cube seemed to be sucked into it, dimming the area considerably. Out of his off hand, a massive beam of energy was projected, hurtling towards monkey in a continuous ray of destruction. As long as he was connected to the power source over heard, he could keep this up.

[Deleted]

Monkey smirked before blocking the beam with his blade. The energy seperated to either side. While the energy did nothing more than burn the fringes of his robe, he was surrounded by blazing heat. He felt it begin to boil him alive, as he charged energy into his blade and focused.

"I wanted this to be a fair fight, so shouldn't you also have a decent amount of energy to work with. Not that it matters, this is the final bout. Chaos Slash!", Monkey screamed as the energy in the blade shot down the beam dissecting it as it raced at Duffle.

Monkey gave chase behind his attack, allowing for it to obscure him from Duffle's view. He moved fast and low waiting for Duffle to either absorb it or dodge to follow up with a counter attack. He slowly began to build up a small amount of energy in his left hand in case he would need to resort to Chaos Mode.

[Dufflepud]

Duffle stopped his beam, waving his hand to erect a gigantic energy shield. Monkey's attack washed over it, draining it of some power, but this was replentished almost instantly by solar energy. As monkey dove towards him, Duffle detonated the barrier in an expanding shockwave of energy in an attempt to slow him down, before drawing his blade and dashing out to meet his opponent

[Deleted]

Monkey watched the incoming shockwave and pressed his left hand to his face and it washed over his head making him look ike a rocket leaking fuel as it raced down. Monkey collided with the shockwave allowing the energy to shield him slightly. Monkey rattled and his body jerked before he dashed throught the shockwave and towards Duffle. The energy gave way and Monkey emerged wearing a mask that was slightly cracked in the top left. He met Duffle and swung his blade downward on him as energy gather on it.

"Okay, now I'm in the mood. Chaos Slash!", Monkey roared as the energy amplified and increased the overall power of the swing.

[Dufflepud]

Duffle swung his blade in an upward arc, colliding with Monkey's slash. The two blades, infused with opposite forms of energy, created a volitile, forceing the two opponants apart several stepps. Duffle gave a hollow, metalic roar as more solar energy rushed through his body. Turning to Monkey, he discharged the energy in a massive blast that tore through the cieling as it flew at Monkey.

"My... power... is... LIMITLESS!" he screamed in an inhuman voice, before draging his blade through the air, drawing in more energy with flowed into a massive swirling ball in his off hand.

[Deleted]

Monkey let out a flame of aura energy and let it block the shockwave, it faded away quickly and Mon key was left looking unphased. He watched Duffle lunge at him and sighed in amusement. He tossed his blade into the air at the lights and glared at Duffle. Energy gathered in each hand and formed into orbs as he clenched them into fist.

"Power is only some of the equation Duffle. There is also the need for other things.", Monkey explained as Duffle was only a foot away before ducking under the blade and rising his left fist into an uppercut into Duffle's jaw, "Such as speed, Chaos Meteor!"

The energy intensified and hardened as it raced at Duffle's chin.

[Dufflepud]

(You just ignored a big energy shockwave, so you should add in avoiding that somehow in the beggining of your post >.>)

Duffle quickly backpeddaled, his glowing fist swatting aside the blow directed at his chin. Now several steps away from his opponent, he unleashed yet another energy pulse form his hand, intended to knock Monkey off balance, before diving back in with a flurry of sword strikes.

[Deleted]

(Fixed, and are we really doing this music thing? Cause I've got ALOT of dubstepped Linkin Park)

Monkey went with his momentum after Duffle deflected his punch and twirled before facing Duffle again. Monkey took a low boxing stance and reformed the energy in his left hand. He dashed at Duffle as he fired another pulse. Monkey launched himslef over the attack and looked down at Duffle as he unleashed his flurry of sword attacks.

"The next step is, Technique.", Monkey said before dashing down at Duffle and weaving in and out of three of the slashes of duffle's blade.

Monkey side stepped the fourth swing and punched it with hes left. Hoping the force of a chaos meteor would send it flying from Duffle. Meanwhile, Monkey reeled his right At Duffle who he hoped would be distracted at his weapon and wouldn't notice the strike before it hit him.

[Dufflepud]

(There's plenty of music I could draw from, b ut if you'd prefer to not keep doing this, that's fine too xD)

Duffle laughed, not reacting to Monkey's attack as the other warrior came closer and closer... before suddenly slamming into solar shield. With the sun glaring down on him, it was simple to compensate for the force of the blow, and the wall of energy held. Spinning around, he lashed out with a kick that hurled the wall of energy forwards, directly into Monkey.

Duffle sheathed his blade, placing it directly on his back, and his entire body began to pulsate with swirling patterns of light energy.

"What do you say to putting our blades down and having a good old fashioned brawl!
