Beirus vs Ozarck!

Spoiler: Beirus (click to show/hide)

Pull up those propane lines and light them, either by having my clone send that fire dragon at it, or generating fire to light it myself. Control the fire from the explosion to immolate Ozarck, or at least obscure his view of me. My armor helmet should have a filter to keep sight of him through the fire, right? Either way, it's time to move. Head for the rooftop of the building my Parasyte went into. Try to stay aware of Ozarck's location through sight or helmet filters or magnetic sense or whatever.

Your armor can discern between reality and illusions, but it can't trace something that is behind obstacles. However your magnetic sense registers Ozarck's armor just fine, so now that you have seen him, it should be easy to keep track of him.

As per propane lines, the thing is that you don't exactly know which pipes are for propane and which ones for water. You do quick experiment to find it out. Oops, that was wrong one... High pressure water sprays high into air in north. Well, that's not really your problem. Meanwhile invisible Ozarck runs towards the building you are standing on.

Okay, so if that was water pipe then this one is for gas. Good. Grab it, pull it out of earth and ignite it. The fire dragon does fine job on that. It generates nice boom. People are screaming. Probably caught few civilians with that blast. Time to vacate the area! Height difference between buildings is very small and they are basically together so it ain't even a challenge.

Judging by motion of fields you sense, that fiery explosion didn't bother your opponent at all. Oh, and lighting strikes one of the air vents near you.

Your sword is getting hungry and it's starting to bother you. Power level of your armor is already fallen to 60%.

The rooftop.

Spoiler: Ozarck (click to show/hide)

Power of the ring is activated and you cease to be physical.

You start running towards the building and in sametime a water bursts out of ground about 100 meters north. By time you reach the building more pipes burst out of ground spitting out ...nothing? It perplexes you for a moment before the fire dragon flies in and air explodes around you. That nasty bastard... Thankfully your insubstantiality doesn't fail and you are protected from fire. Otherwise you would be burning right now, just like those three poor folks near you.

"Finish them" your armor whispers. "End their suffering" it entices you.

And lightning strikes somewhere nearby. So much is happening that you have no time to summon the thing.

Side walk.
Your approximate viewpoint.

How far from Beirus am I? How far from the guy on the roof? HAve I gone inside, and is stuff happening inside like it is outside?

Whoops, I have forgotten to extend graphical indicator of your aura's range.

Right, so Beirus is about 20 meters from you.
The building is ~30 meters tall, a ballpark estimate really, so maybe additional two meters from that guy.
You are still outside, standing in gas fire.

[AoshimaMichio]

Fun fact: this match alone has already lasted as long as the first tournament entirely. So let's pick up some speed, shall we?

[Ozarck]

sorry

rush at Beirus. grab his helmet and pull it off. bite his neck. Concentrate on preventing fear.

[AoshimaMichio]

Beirus vs Ozarck!

Spoiler: Beirus (click to show/hide)

Cool. If I dont send a more convoluted turn by tomorrow, my action is Crush Ozarck's armor, hopefully with him inside it, and hurl him back down the street the way he came. See if my Parasyte can get to this rooftop with whatever hive or swarm or whatever it has been working on, maybe have it bring some people I can cut down to power my armor with their blood.

Edit to my action: Try to regroup with Parasyte dude at the North end of the building I moved to, or the building further to the north. I don't know the range of whatever Ozarck did to ATHATH that made him go homicidal, but I don't want to be caught in it.

Your minion is not on the rooftop, but inside the building. Probably harvesting bodies or something. It's impossible to tell. You run to edge of the roof just to be sure. More distance between you and Ozarck, better. Meanwhile Ozarck runs towards your second clone down the street. He probably assumes that's you. I mean it looks like you, and the power armor you are wearing alters your appearance significantly, though your weaponry is still rather obvious.

Either way, it's all good for you. The moment Ozarck reaches your clone, you create full strength magnetic field as close of center of his body. You can tell how his armor collapses into a ball.

You win!

Spoiler: Ozarck (click to show/hide)

Beirus simply stands there, without doing so much as moving a finger. It bothers you a bit, but you still reach him and start pulling his helmet off. That's when your armor suddenly shrinks and Beirus lurches towards you as if pulled by invisible force. You don't have enough time to do anything. Not that there is anything you could do. Within a second your hauberk has crushed your ribcage, spine, lungs, heart and guts, simply by collapsing into single point.

You would laugh if you had enough body left to do that. It seems you were simply played with...

You lose.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new Champion! Looks like brawns still wins over brains! The newest champion is BEIRUS! Congratulations! Also my condolences for ATHATH and Nav who bet on Ozarck's victory. Guess nobody expected this outcome! Hahaha~"

"The grand prize is same as it was on our first tournament! Pick one of the two! Number one: Retire your winning deck as a champion and challence the current Tournament Grand Champion for the title, assuming he's up for it! Number two: Guaranteed spot for any upcoming tournament of your choice and you can pick one card from your winning deck to bring along! So, which one it will be?"

"The next tournament will introduce number of changes, the most notable being it will be in format of battle royale and players having greater control over the cards they receive. Implementing all necessary changes will take some time, so you will have a good breather before next tournament starts."


I literally haven't finished changes for my generator and now I don't have any excuse to avoid it. So there will be a short pause. Until then, muck around if you wish. Only fight which can happen before next tournament is the showdown between Beirus and Hawk132 if they want to see who's worth of the title Monster Mash Tournament Grand Champion.

[Ozarck]

Grats Beirus.

[Beirus]

((GG, Ozarck.))

Beirus takes off his helmet and stands up before walking over to shake Ozarck's hand. "Good try. Maybe you'll win the next tournament." He says as he offers his hand to shake. If Ozarck shakes his hand, he leans forward and whispers, or at least attempts to speak into Ozarck's ear. "Whatever you think you've seen, the answers lie with Gene. But he will not share them without a cost." After this, he turns to Gene. "I'll retire my deck. And I'll take Hawk on, if he's up for it. Do you mind if we tall for a bit while we wait?" He says to Gene.

Retire the deck. See about that job offer in private if I get a chance.

[Hawk132]

The man in demonic armor wakes himself from a very long nap.

"Eh? It's my turn already? How long did I sleep?"

I'll do the champion fight, though I doubt I'll win. Mostly because I only checked on this thread just to see if the tournament ended. I have absolutely no idea what to expect from Beirus.

[FallacyofUrist]

I'm going to preemptively go into the next round.

[AoshimaMichio]

I'm going to preemptively go into the next round.

I'll call volunteers when I'm ready to start the tournament.

"Excellent! Sure, we can wait as the first champion reacquaints himself with his deck."

You follow Gene back to the conference room. "Allright. You said you have wide knowledge about monster folklore? I have spent good time studying that field lately as well, but I don't probably have same amount of information as you. It seems mostly be mere superstition without any actual connection to reality. Tell me, what do you know about... ah, how to make monsters go away? Getting rid of posession?"

[AoshimaMichio]

Hello? Beirus? What's up? Not that I don't appreciate the time to work with roll tables, but seriously.

[Beirus]

((Missed the last update. My bad.))

"Most of what I've heard involves complicated rituals to call upon a higher power to get rid of the possessor. But I figure with all the cards you have, it should be possible to get rid of one. Maybe go ethereal to force it out of the host, and then destroy it. Or maybe if you had a possession power, you could take control away from it and expel it."

Talky stuff

[AoshimaMichio]

"My cards are not usable in this case, unfortunately. This would be so much easier if they were, but it doesn't allow any alterations with internal power. And finding reliable external powers is... exceedingly difficult, as you surely know. It may be better if you see the host by yourself to understand full extend of the problem. Seeing is believing after all, don't you agree?"

"But first things first. We have a championship to deal with and I'm sure your opponent is ready for fight!"


Championships!

"The battlefield for this exciting fight is A FROZEN SPACESHIP! We don't any details yet what it is like inside but it's probably very cold and very technical! As for combatants, let me re-introduce them:
HAWK132 is a master of demons and divine alike, often seen using fiery and mechanized creatures!
BEIRUS on the other hand has been using very small set of powers, mostly fire and metal, and has used single creature since the first match! A Nightmare!"

Which one will win!? Place your bets and we will find the answer shortly!

[ATHATH]

I'll bet on Beirus.
