Pentos walked silently around Timothy, stabbing at anything he could see that wasn't Octos or the floor.

 

Meanwhile, Octos began to regain control of some of his body, which he sent flying across the room to hide in a wall.

The evil hooded figure dies of hereditary heart faliure.

Timothy's armor managed to protect him from Pentos's attacks, except for one which nicked a rib.

 

Timothy then exploded.

 

His armor shard flew into Pentos, driven by the force of a nuke.

 

 

Meanwhile, the real Timothy appeared, carrying his sword in on hand, and a large cod in the other.

 

He then threw the cod to Octos.

"Have some lunch!" He called.

 

 

"Oh, how am I alive?"

"I teleported."

 

"...."

 

 

"I also left a large bomb behind. Armored robes are great at disguising one's movements."

 

 

 

 

He then collapsed, as he had noticed his rib had punctured his skin.

Pentos spun his sword around staff-like, and the armor shard was thrown off of the blades. Pentos then disappeared again. However, the armor shard had managed to make a small cut in his finger. ((This means he's slightly wounded, but he's not bleeding. So no saying "I trace the blood path and kill Pentos" or crud like that.))

 

Octos, meanwhile, had been leeching energy from Timothy, and then the nuke, and had regained control over more of his body. He managed to drag himself into the air and revert to his natural crab form. The crab(Octos) caught the cod and devoured it. It then retracted its legs into itself, protecting its soft underbelly, and began to roll around as a giant shelled wheel of energy-sucking death.

 

Quartos still seemed to be unconscious.

Grim reapeared his aura still existing ((I made it slightly different but it will be a very useful shield none the less)) he said "While I cant attack you from in here you seem to forget about the huge dragon in the sky! "

 

With that said dragon spewed fire at the heat of several million degrees in the general direction of octos before speeding off.

((Firstly, the explosionw asn't nuclear, it just propelled the shards with a lot of force.

 

And secondly, how did Octos absord the energy if it was hiding in a wall?))

 

 

Timothy groaned, as he watched the idiotic dragon restore Octos to full power via flame.

 

"Gah, why must such fools destroy my work!?" he groaned.

 

 

He then erected an ice shield around Octos, to minimize the energy. He also attempted to lower octos's core temperature.

 

 

 

 

 

"Please stop spewing fire at him, ok?" he said to the dragon. "It will only make killing him take longer...."

the dragon surprisingly could speak "Fine" he grumbled in a low baritone. "That fire however would very likely have destroyed him though" he said as he cut the fire off.

((Your armor has to have some holes in it, else you wouldn't be able to move. (The bomb was in some of your armor, correct?) Octos absorbed it from those holes. And also, I know the bomb wasn't nuclear. Chemical explosive contain oodles of potential energy, and while Octos has a harder time absorbing that, he can still absorb some.))

 

Octos absorbed the fire. "Thank you kindly, I'll remember that gesture in the future." He then turned towards Timothy, and rammed through the shield of ice. ((He's a giant crab/wheel right now, remember?)) He then came at Timothy at full speed.

 

((So, to recap: Septos is in dimensional limbo, Quartos is seemingly unconscious, Pentos is lurking invisible somewhere, and Octos is in crab form barrelling at Timothy. Just to make sure nobody attacks the wrong person.))

((Ok, although I still could have sworn that you said you were hiding in a wall.... I guess you could have still gotten some energy....))

 

 

Timothy exhaled slowly, and his breath becamne visible as the temperature around him dropped severely.

 

"I have no chance against you in normal living form" he said softly. "However, My talents do extend into the realm of self mutation...."

 

Timothy's skin the froze and shattered, and his robe's plates fused onto his body, which was now made of what seemed to be snow, ice, and frigid water.

 

He then activated one of the runes on his scimatar, and spawned a massive icicle to stab at Octos.

 

((I have a feeling Pentos is going to be a pain....))

((That was part of him that he had regained control of, not all of himself. He was still mostly paralyzed. And Pentos is going to be more of a pain than you think.))

 

Octos dodges the icicle, then latched onto Timothy and began draining energy from him.

 

Pentos was still nowhere to be seen, and Quartos still seemed unconscious.

 

Hoever, a small portal was beginning to form in the center of the arena....

 

(*I'm bringing Septos back simply because he was supposed to eventually be funny (because he's dumb,) and grim got rid of him before that.))

((I'm sorry, but I just turned myself into an armored snowcone (to put it bluntly) so that you couldn't leech energy from me. Sure, I have magical energy, but to reach that you have to get through armor, and then my frozen body. In other words, to reach my inner core of magical energy, you have to inflict wounds upon me that would result in an instant death. (I still die like a human, despite my new form.) So, if you can kill me, feel free to harvest energy from my corpse, but until then, standing on my plates won't do you much.))

((Oh.))

 

Octos, realizing that his attempts to leech energy were failing miserably, backed away.

 

The portal in the center of the arena grew larger, and Septos jumped out of it and landed directly between Octos and Timothy. He then proceeded to attempt to smash Timothy to bits.

Timothy grunted a a blow took him in the chest, knocking him back a large distance and racking an icey rib.

 

Spitting out a small amount of blue water ((his version of blood right now)) Timothy groaned.

 

"Ok, that hurt." he grunted "But this should hurt even more!"

 

He then launched ice shards at Octos's eyes. He also began lowering the temperature of the arena further, as his new form was far more resistant to the cold.

 

Timothy also began working on healing his broken rib, but realized it would take at least a few more minutes.

Octos moved his eyes, and then the rest of himself, to avoid Timothy's ice shards.

 

Septos chased after Timothy, constantly attempting to hammer him. "You try kill Octos! I kill you!"

Timothy sprayed Septos in the face with a small gout of water. It didn't do much damage, but it was worth it, as it gave Timothy a moment of pleasure.

 

((It wasn't pure water, by the way, but rather a mixture of water and other liquids that have similar properties, but are still liquid in these freezing temperatures. Don't worry though, there isn't acid in it, or anything.))

 

Timothy then surrounded himself with an ice wall, and lowered the temperature of the room a little bit more....

Septos wiped the water off his face with a hammer. "You spray Septos! Septos SMASH!" Septos smashed through the ice wall as though it were made of toothpicks, then proceeded to attempt to smash its occupant.

Timothy grinned, and decreased the temeprature around Septos to such a desgree that the liquid on him froze. He then began encasing Septos in further layers of ice, just to be certain.

 

He also erected a new ice wall, to give him warning if he was attacked.

 

"Brawns never did win against brains" Timothy said, not being able to resist being a smart alek.

Septos watched as he slowly froze to the ground, then began cursing as he shattered the ice layer by layer as it grew with four of his hammers, whilst the other three still concentrated on shattering the newest ice wall and flattening Timothy.

 

Pentos was still invisible, but Quartos, also, was nowhere to be seen.

Mather jumped from above, down behind Septos, "Surprise!" he said as he started blasting Septos' hammers with his Particle Magnum(still set on insinerate).

((How can septos shatter the ice with his hammers? It isn't a dome formed around him. The original layer was from thw ater I doused him with, which means the ice is on his skin. Such a lack of leverage would make using hammers impossible. Unless Pentos can melt the ice, or another character saves him, then I don't see how he can move....))

 

"Timothy acknowledge Mather with a wave. Please don't shoot that raygun at Octos, ok?" He said snidely.

((Septos is extremely tough, extremely strong, and extremely dumb. And he can sorta change the distance his hammers can hit within reason, so.... he may have bruised himself a bit breaking all the ice, but he's flexible enough to hit himself easily. And Pentos can't melt squat. However, I'll go with your logic here and say he's coated in ice.))

 

Septos roared as the ice grew over him. However, Quartos jumped in from where he had been perched on a wall and hacked away most of the ice. Septos was then once again free to hammer away at Timothy, and did so. His hammers, since moving a great deal, were not hit by Mather's blasts. ((One of the rules of shooting: never aim at the arms or legs. They move too much for you to be accurate.)) Quartos then jumped across the arena and hit the lever with his sword, transporting the duelists to a large plain filled with what appeared to be grain, except for its deep purple hue.

Mather, suspicious of the new grain, started firing at it in kill mode before he again started blasting at Septos' hammers, while doing so he said to Timothy; "This is not a raygun, that is not Octos, and I'm not shooting at him!".

Once again, Mather's shots missed Septos's hammers as they beat away at Timothy.

 

Octos, having been slowly sliding acrss the floor towards Mather, suddenly jumped up onto his gun and drained its battery. He then jumped between Mather and Septos. (("Jumped" being used in the loosest terms here, it's more of slime shooting up from the ground.))

Mather pulled out his Desert Eagle and started firing at Octos while flipping the barrel of his Particle Magnum forward and tossing it back, ejecting the "bateries", he then sheathed his Desert Eagle and in the same movement pulled out some new "bateries" which he inserted into the Particle Magnum before flipping the barrel back up and continue shooting, this time at Octos.

Octos was blown to bits by Mather's desert eagle. However, these bits recongregated after Mather stopped firing, and Octos charged at Mather.
