{And thus one of Force's worst fears has been realized. It turned out one of the ghosts from his past wasn't exactly a ghost any longer. Stryfe. "The Dark Enigma" Still looked the same, but for some reason made Force feel extremely uneasy. There was a definite coldness that surrounded his being. He looked upon Stryfe's face again.}
Shit....You're ....supposed to be....dead...
{He instinctively steps back as He clenches his fist, but was he ready to really fight this...thing?}
...How?
{Was the last word he could utter.}

The reaction was certainly expected...the look of surprise, the brace for combat. Indeed he has gotten stronger hasn't he?
I would think that of all the people on this world that you would understand that anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. Yes, my physical form was destroyed not more than one year ago, but my spirit energy, my very soul is undying, immortal if you will. Now I've been given this new form thanks to your "modern technology".
It is a bit bulky, but it suffices quite well. You may have been able to outdo Terra, but you will find me to be a bit more swift, and unlike you pathetic wretches, I will not be bled. |

You've gotta be kidding me... A machine?
{Stryfe's words couldn't be any truer. He experienced first hand events that were beyond the realm of normal. But still, there was much he wanted explained, but knew he simply wouldn't get answers from this thing. The next best thing he figured he could do was atleast ACT like he wasn't intimidated.}
Well then, I guess that means you're not what you used to be, huh? If your mighty immortal soul can be confined by some tin shell...I guess you're not so tough...
{He feigns a smirk. Were was his common sense right now? Obviously being overthrown by pride. No man who calls himself a fighter should openly show fear... No matter how dangerous the situation may be. He still perhaps foolishly stands his ground, a fist clenched at his side, his knees slightly bent, ready to lunge if necessary. With training to become a better wrestler, he learned even more about becoming a better fighter... but against an opponent like Stryfe, would it really help?}

Foolish pride...such an endearing mortal trait, I'm touched. Do you think that this body makes me any less of a threat? Maybe I misjudged your wisdom, boy. You will see just how "tough" I am.
He slowly starts to make his way towards the two.
Your pain...shall be my pleasure.

Did this dude just say Terra?
Xander slides the duffel bag off of his shoulder.
I don't know who you think you are, but if you're in cahoots with HIM, then I don't see any reason NOT to put you out of your misery.

Out of my misery you say? You make it sound as if misery is a bad thing. Pain is power, my friend...
That makes me the MOST powerful. [/b] Without another word he dashes forward and tackles XXL using something like thrusters from his feet, crashing the man's large frame into the side of a parked car. The force of it smashes the glass as Xander cringes in pain. Stryfe stands over him reveling in the moment, then snaps his head in the direction of Force.
Now...let's see how strong you have become...[/center][/font] |

XANDER!
{In an instant it seemed as if XXL was down for the count leaving Force all on his own against the reborn Stryfe. He continues looking at XXL worrying about his well being only to notice Stryfe has set his sights on Force himself. He instantly knew there was no way of getting out of this without harm. What was he to do...}

This thing was swift and powerful. That's a dangerous combination. It had seemed to have assumed that one blow was going to be enough to keep a man the size of XXL down, even if he ruined the premium of someone's car insurance. Down one on knee already, he sees this Stryfe slowly making his way towards Force, who was very much ready to pounce himself, but Xander beats him to the punch. Using the leverage of his makeshift three point stance, XXL lunges forward and returns a tackle of his own, blindsiding the man (if he could be called that) to the ground. He has him pinned on the ground flat on him stomach, unable to move...
You're gonna have to do better than that.

Hah Hah...as you wish...
With that said Stryfe starts to lift himself off of the ground with the weight of the 300+ pound XXL bearing down on him. Luther was surely amazed that someone or thing who didn't appear as large as he could match him for power. With a great scream he powers XXL off of him, shoving him backwards to the floor once again.
You are a fiesty one, aren't you? I will deal with you later, but first...
Turning his attention once more to Force...
I will deal with you. Come now, are you going to stand in fear of me, or are you going to strike? Or do you think to yourself that if a man of HIS size could not topple me, what gives you a chance to do the same, is that it? Hah Hah, you mortals...SICKEN ME!!!
He lunges toward Force, full force no doubt and plunges a fist deep within Force's very core. The velocity buckles Brandon down to his knees...Stryfe looks down with an arrant glee in his eyes at the sight of these men reeling by his hands.
It's a shame that I've not been ordered to destroy you. But then...why should I listen to that fool Terra. Why should I give him the opportunity to atone for his failure. Failure is not something that I will NEVER do again. You can at least make this more interesting though, boy. Stand and face me! |

{Indeed the force of the punch knocked every ounce of air out of Force. The sheer pain was enough to completely knock out any average man. He continues to hold his core in immense pain...listening to Stryfe taunt him. After moments of writhing in pain, he gets up on one knee, now in a kneeling position. Several different possibilities of attack were open right now. He could lunge into a spear, try tripping him down, hell even a low blow sounded good.}
*Cough*....Well...worth a try...
{Force braces himself, then lunges towards Stryfe like a missile in an attempt to take him down...}

Such a predictable move...
Stryfe braces for the blow and allows Force to charge into him. As he does so however, Stryfe falls backward with his hands on Brandon shoulders using that momentum and velocity to toss him completely over his own body Judo style. Force flies high and crashes hard to the ground not but a few feet away from where XXL was already trying to collect himself.
He rises to his feet with his back turned to them and chuckles.
At least the other one had the element of surprise. Is this truly all that you have? Is this the best that you can do? If so then you are very fortunate your lives are not at risk here.
AGAIN. And this time do try to show some effort. This is beginning to bore me. |

Son of a bitch...
{Force manages to get up, favoring his back after crashing hard. It would seem that there is no way he could physically harm Stryfe short of dropping a nuke on the city. Force looks around, looking for anything he could use to his advantage. Hmmm.... Nothing.}
Why Stryfe? Why do insist on taunting me when you KNOW I can't possibly harm you? WHY DAMMIT? ....Because its your nature... This...this is nothing but another game of Terra's. WELL ARE YOU HAPPY NOW TERRA?? Happy that you've managed to break me and Xander right now? Hmph...that bastard can enjoy his little moment for now...
{Force was barking in the dark at Terra. He knew he wasn't there. But Terra did know what was happening all too well. Force drops to his knees...knowing this battle couldn't be won under the current pretenses.}

The words of Force's struck a nerve to an extent. Try as he did to deny it, he was in fact in some kind of "slavery" at Terra's hands. The "Directive" that prevented him from destroying Tyson for his insolence were the ties that bound him to doing precisely what it is that he found himself doing right now, following orders. It was different from his days as the herald of The Destroyer. Then he was a general...now, just merely a "soldier", less than that even, he was a "project".
You know nothing of my nature, boy. Taunting is nothing to one who sees the battle as what it is, a battle. The strongest army in the world is not the one who trains themselves physically...but MENTALLY. If you are not psychologically prepare to face an adversary you may as well take your own life...and save another the energy of claiming such a pointless one.
Is this truly what managed to defeat that fool Terra? It only proves how pathetic he is to have fallen to such a wretch... |

As he speaks, XXL comes to his senses...and rises just a wee bit pissed off, not just at this guy's speed or strength but at his ranting as if he's some kind "expert". He senses a drop in it's guard however, just some kind of instinctive feeling.
Force...he's not going to be able to outmaneuver the both of us. On three I say we rush his ass...you ready?

{After Force's little outburst he nods to Xander, ready to join in the attack. This better work...}
