Over_kill

His vision was blurred, but slowly returning to normal. Panting heavily, Peter Matthews slowly began regaining his composure. His energy powered minigun had his opponent pinned down behind one of the floating structures that filled this room without gravity. This wouldn't make him win though, he would need another attack.

As he began coming up with a possible attack, he felt another unimaginable pain inside his skull. Another roar of pain as more warnings flashed in front of his eyes.

-WARNING: TEMPERATURE IN BRAIN CAVITY INCREASING-

It was unpleasant to say the least. The rising temperature in his head caused a lot of pain, but this blood-bending attack was a little less effective than the last. Peter Matthews was a living battery, a power plant for this volatile energy that he used daily. While his body created the energy naturally with everyday activities like eating or sleeping, everything that would figuratively recharge a normal person's batteries, Peter could also absorb other sources of energy and convert it into his own energy. Many different types of energy can be taken in this way. Commonly, electricity and light are absorbed, however, during his last fight it was hellfire which had unpredictable results. Santi's attack? He was literally creating heat energy inside Peter's head.

Every time that the Black Viper raised the amount of heat energy in Peter's brain cavity, the Shield of the Coven would absorb that energy. This is not to say that the attack was futile. Overkill was experiencing part two of the world's worst headache now, and he was not happy about it. The feeling of your brain almost coming to a boil every moment was like being perpetually on the edge of death. Extreme pain, and something else that he wasn't accustom to. Anger.

Peter looked where his opponent was still hiding, the glowing eyes in his mask growing a little brighter. He quickly sent a command to his suit. The Coven thought that letting Peter talk, even with mind control, would be too much freedom and might allow disobedience.

-SPEECH INHIBITING PROGRAM: DEACTIVATED

-FREE SPEECH ENABLED-

"I'm getting really tired of people inside my head. URGH! Just ask Flash Fire." Speaking through his grunts of pain, this perhaps gave his opponent time to move, but he didn't care. Overkill flew forward, pulling his fist back before throwing a punch that would collapse a ten story building at La Espada's floating cover. The impact would send the object flying toward the wall of the battleground, possibly with Santi between the two. In his current position, the Coven's Black Knight had another of the large metal blocks floating to his left. After the impact, Peter would float left and grab the object by its hand hold, spin it around his body, and throw it at wherever he saw his opponent next. With a name like 'Overkill' it has to be overly aggressive.

@shootout: I got 1 more post left in me tonight, but it is also late here. Have a good night.

@shootout: Yep. You can thank my girlfriend, @jesterina for telling me to "just log on and look."

@shootout: I started about 4 years ago, back when both myself and Overkill were 19 years old. T'was a different time.

My girlfriend reading this as I write it says that it's probably closer to 5 years ago.

@shootout: How I feel right now

@shootout: Ohhhhhh ok then. I am currently forgetting a large rant about "just having fun" and stuff. So, by all means...

@shootout: So, I don't know much about this thread, the idea of heckling kinda seems pointless. I mean look at all those concert videos on youtube where a heckler just gets owned by whoever they're heckling. AM I RIGHT THOUGH?! LAWL!

But, this is like a comedy roast type thing, right? Where you can just outright insult people and no one cares because, hey! It's funny! Not meant to be taken seriously and all that jazz?

@la_espada next post is up. ^_^

-IMPACT IMMINENT-

The words flashed on the HUD for Project Overkill, a living power plant trapped inside a weapon of war designed to overcome any obstacle with tactical brute force. He flew at his opponent, expecting a mid-air collision with the Black Viper. Perhaps the more than capable melee fighter would accept his challenge and engage the Black-metal Brawler at point blank range. Overkill's systems had weighed the probability of him being successful in hand to spear combat and the result was 62% chance of victory, while the chances of a long range encounter would be roughly 65%. A long range tactic would be less energy efficient and if the battle were to drag out, he may start to run low on energy. The high chance of victory with melee combat being less costly seemed like the more acceptable plan of attack.

Suddenly, during his advance on his spear-wielding foe, immense pain began coursing though Peter's skull. He wobbled in flight for a moment before his forward thrust stopped, leaving him drifting towards Santiago Porthos. Peter had been able to see that Santi began making strange hand motions in his direction right before the pain began. Was this a spell? More magic being used against him?

-WARNING: CEREBROSPINAL FLUID LOSS IN BRAIN CAVITY-

The pain began to spread through his body, causing him to writhe around in the air. His eyes began to lose focus, barely being able to see the next message from his HUD.

-ANALYZING SOURCE...

-ATTACK ORIGIN: SANTIAGO PORTHOS [HEMOKINESIS]

-ERROR: TARGET [CEREROSPINAL FLUID] INVALID

-EDITING PROFILE [SANTIAGO PORTHOS]/REASON CODE: 15 [REDEFINED POWER/ABILITY]

-[HEMOKINESIS] HYDROKINESIS-

While Santi may not actually be able to control water, his system saw this as a more accurate definition so it edited the profile for now so Peter would have a better understanding of his opponent. Almost at the point of losing consciousness, La Espada had leaped toward him, intending to strike him in the head.

-WARNING: INCOMING ATTACK

-COUNTER INCOMING ATTACK [HEAD STRIKE]/BLOCK

-COUNTER INCOMING ATTACK [HYDROKINESIS]/LOSS OF FOCUS

Peter groaned, thinking of only one way to counter both attacks in the time he had before he was killed. With a loud roar of pain, he adjusted his body to face the Black Viper. He was experiencing tunnel vision, but putting Santi right in the middle of what he could see would hopefully be sufficient enough. He activated the central propulsion port located in the middle of his chest and released a large blast of energy. The attack delivered at such close range would at least knock Santi back and cause him to lose concentration on his blood bending attack. The force of the attack, if connected in the torso region where Peter was aiming, would send him flipping backward until he hit something solid. Though it probably wasn't enough to down the Black Viper, the kinetic impact wouldn't be a welcome feeling.

Once the blood bending attack was stopped, Peter would gasp for breath as fluid made it's way back into his skull. However, he would need time to recover from such an attack. Time that his system could provide for him.

-TARGET LOCKED: ACTIVATING MINIGUN TURRET-

His shoulder mounted minigun would aim at La Espada and open fire. Peter would not be making any big aerial maneuvers any time soon, so the attack would be intended on keeping his foe at a distance and focused on defending rather than causing Overkill the worst headache of the century. If the Black Viper took cover somewhere, the minigun would continue a suppressing fire on the location to try and keep his opponent pinned down. Wherever Santi ran, the energy based projectiles would try to follow.

If Peter could not get his brain responding correctly, however, this fight was already lost.

First post of round two is up!
