Bridge of Collosus Class Carrier, In midst of various battle tests... Unknown sector
Capitan Oliver 'Duzzit' Neski is sitting in his command chair, watching the battle unfold. The 10 fighters fight the other 22 fighters, in a challenging battle. We see the Fighter Planes are however holding against the superior numbers
"Well, It seems the Recruits still have a way to go before they can fight the Trainers" Commented The weapons officer.
"It would seem that way Mr.Dwford, have them end the exercise for now, there are other drills I wish to preform." I replied, sipping a cup of tea.
"Very Well sir".
I press the comm. button. In an absolutley serious voice I speak through the shipnet.
"ALL HANDS, ABANDON SHIP"
The Bridge crew stare at me, wondering why i would give the order, but quickly get up. I tell them to sit down.
"We have to stay here, this is merely an evacuation test for the rest of the ship, if we ever have to do it, I want to make sure that as much of the crew can get off as quickly as possible."
They Turned to their consoles, and returned to work.
"Sir, Ship is reported empty, total time of evacuation, 3:12:54." Replied the internal security chief.
"Hmm, we will have to work on that as well, Still not too shabby. Have the escape pods and fighters come back into the docking bays". I calmly say.
Sigh, 3 Minutes? far, far too long. I need to have it cut to two and a half. I think to myself.
"Ok, Weapon tests next. Fire off all the guns and test the arcs, see where we have more blind spots than where we do not. Change parameters in the Flak cannons to reduce the burst size by 3% this adds 100 meter firing range on the weapon".
"Sir, Message from High Command, For your viewing only." Called out the Communication officer.
"Very well, I shall take it in my quarters".
Hmm, I wonder what this could be about.
//Incoming Transmission//
//High Command Channel//
//Special Transmission Encryption-Duzzit Created//
//From Olterin Fire//
//START//
Duzzit, We have had a very strange development in relation to your crew. If possible, you should postpone your training schedules for now, and Jump back to President's end. We will be able to fill you in more then, but you are preety far out, and it is difficult to send a long burst to you.
//End//
Shit, doesn't sound too good
I grab a sandwitch out of my fridge and begin chewing. I comm the bridge to suspend activities and Jump back to home base.
The Nest Docks with the bounty of merlin.
I step out of the airlock, being greeted by The admiral, Olterin, Forrester and Nightmare. Swein Luf, and the new recruit trigger are nowhere to be seen.
"I found a pilot floating in space, along with a corpse Duz" said Nightmare.
He paused
"The corpse was of, who we suspect to have been your old navigation's officer. " He continued.
"WHAT!" I ask, astonished.
"Where is this man? What about the rest of the crew? If I find out he did something to them I will... Well I won't go into that just yet"
"As far as we can tell, the man was not responsible, he has a message from the deceased, as well as possible information on the new location of your Friends." Said the Admiral, calmly despite my outburst.
"I wish to see him as fast as possible. Also, what about the Yaki shipyard?" I ask.
"It would seem Leo Kaelyn got to it first, and blew it up". He replied.
" I see..."
"Forrester, Mind taking me to him?"
"Sure Duzzit, this way"
I salute the Admiral, and walk away with Slamer towards the security area of the complex.
"Here is a photo of the corpse he had along with him in his ship" Says forrester, as he hands me the 3d image.
I wince painfully, noticing that it is indeed my nav officer
"He also mentioned a name, Catherine? he didn't disclose a lot more than that though, any idea who it is?"
Catherine? surley the pirates do not have her? or perhaps my officer was tortured to find any weaknesses I may have? shit this is too much, All i wanted in these next few days was a few days off, have a tournament, but no something keeps coming up.
"I...Catherine is a very special friend of mine Slamer, lets leave it at that for now...*whispering* please".
We walk into the cell. The prisoner looks up at me but before he speaks I cut him off.
"You have 1 Minute to sufficiently explain to me what the corpse of a long standing friend of mine was doing in your cargo bay and why you know of Catherine. If I find that you are trying to decieve me in any way, know that If I press this button *-Holds up a controller-* The room will be pumped full of Toxins which will liquify your internal organs, a process which will not affect me or Mr.Forrester here, as we have been Immunised to its effects. I assure you, it is quite painful. So, don't try to withhold something, as you can proboably tell I am not too pleased with the news".
And so, He begins to speak....

Duzzit was a lot of hurry to get to the prisinor even now i can hear him yelling and thats on closed door.And to think of it Grey thought I was rude...i can't imagine what Duzzit is if im rude.I though,however, that The Admiral didn't want to lose me....it either is a first time he showed conserned about me or i haven't heard right.
Anyway i like to stay more and listen to Duzzit and Grey but i have a drydock scheduale...aperantly my open the freight doors to get rid of the rats didn't helped.
Some time later...
Phew!Those were really persistent rats...they didn't go willingly thats for sure.I have done the decotaminating and it hasn't been more clean...even when we bought her.Now whats on the agenda list....i have to join Duzzit on the Nest???I don't have much of a choice now do i?

*in the interrogation room flanked by both security guards an a mightily pissed looking Duzzit, gray stands from the metal bench to speak and is cut off immediately by duzzit who proceeds to explain what he wants to know and furthers that question with the threat of a painful death.*
with a whirring of well oiled hydraulics and the hiss of plasma cells charging grays left arm rapidly unfolds into what resembles a plasma rifle, at this moment duzzit notices it only has enough charge for one shot because of the dampening field set in place and reacts accordingly.
Pulling his sidearm from its holster with lightning efficiently a stand off ensues between the two.
"I came here with the last words of a man i didn't know, who had suffered as i had and deserved a better ending to his tale, at this point i have been respectful of your crew, this ship and those around me because they treated me well and seemed to be decent people.
BUT if this is how you treat newcomers aboard your ship who go out of their way and risk their lives to bring a dead mans last message to someone he cared and trusted completely then YOU SIR have your priorities wrong and need to change them accordingly, i know i have only one shot and I'd rather not waste it on a coward like you or anyone for that matter.
YOU could have just asked for what i know, that i have given willingly already and without reservation instead of hauling me to a poorly constructed cell then threatening me with death for information that if you had asked Slamer there you would have received and could be doing something for the rest of your crew."
this was all said without a breath from grey, lips moving with outrage at this recent turn of events.
The rifle once more rapidly retracts and becomes once again an arm albeit it metal and having odd proportions.
"I don't like being threatened in any circumstance"
Grey sits once again on the bench looking visibly relieved that he hadn't been shot or stunned.
"your not the man he said you where and it sickens me that his message went to one such as you'
*Grey sighs*
" Put down your weapon Oliver the dead man switch as well, I'm no real threat to you and i don't want to be...i apologize that i lost my temper but there's been alot of change recently and i was expecting a reasoned and Human interrogation not death threats"
at this point Duzzit holsters his sidearm though does not let go of the switch, forrester breaks out of his shocked reverie and manages a face of impressive apprehension and outrage at what had just happened.
" fine have it your way, if you had thought to ask you would have already had the recording of what Slamer and i talked about before, your CO as well.
but because you where blinded by anger, pain whatever it was that caused to haul me in here i will replay it for you, then if you have any questions voice them in a civilized manner and we'll see what we can determine"
The recording of all three conversations plays itself in its unnerving way along with the last words of the officer.
The others have all been silent as this whole thing played out, at the end a single tear flows down duzzits face.
"Oliver i don't know anymore then that, i came here because he deserved to be heard and to have someone he cared for listen to that. i don't know whats on the core but i think you need to look at what he left you. As for Catherin i know precious little except for whats in the message..."
*momentary anger flashes across duzzits face then it crumpled as if hope was once again lost..."
"I can help you though if you want it, there are some people i would need to talk to and would require the use of your main comms array,an engineering team and some Nvidium to modify the array to send and receive the messages needed."
I'm asking you to trust me...Carl made me promise to help you locate the crew and i couldn't refuse him..not after what i had just recorded for him.
but understand that it ends there, once I've found them again its up to you to do something about it"
exhaling once heavily grey looks up at Duzzit and awaits either the gas which won't kill him or whatever he decides to do next.
"Oh I'm sorry Slamer i ruined your sleeve..."

I calm down, Shit, almost lost myself just like i did on that damn moon, breathe in, out and get back to more relaxed state
I throw the *-Poison-* Button to Grey.
"Press it" I say
"WHAT?" He replies, in a disbelieving voice.
I grab it back, and press the button... Nothing happens.
He blankly looks at me as he thinks he is awaiting his death.
"Sheesh relax, do you know how expensive that poison is? There are only about 3 people I'd put through that, and you are not one of them...Besides I doubt that you would have brought this in such a way to me if you didn't already know that I'd be mightily pissed off at seeing a corpse of a friend one way or another. Nothing against you but seeing him die 2wice within the space of a few months is quite hard for me not to react."
"I can imagine that" He replied wearily.
"Sorry, the small rage is something that is very very rarely triggered off as a byproduct of the Elena Conflicts, I can generally keep it under control/ lazy appearance" I reply
"Wait you were in the Elena Conflicts?...Wait no you can't possibly THE"
"Oh crap, don't try to salute please, I left the military after that and I don't much like the thing. A lot of people died there, and I simply tried to pull the rest of them out alive"-I say.
"Anyway, my apologies for earlier lets go eat something shall we?"
-I Turn to the guards-
"You two can go, We'll be fine"
"Yes sir"
"You Coming Forrester?"
"Sure"
"They do excellent tea here now that I've explained to them that coffee causes mutations in the important parts of the human biological system."
Gray chuckles.

Well that was interesting I thought as we walked out of the interrogation cell. Duzzit's temper is going to get him in trouble again one day.
I led the way to the mess hall. Everyone was up now and hanging around for some news of the passing events. I told the cook off to the kitchen to get some tea and coffee ready. Not knowing what gray liked I had them bring him a cup of each. The cook prepared a light meal as well.
So an engineering team and some Nvidium right Gray? We can pick that up at the Bounty.
"Yes that will be sufficient." Gray replied.
"Roberts make it so." I said
Roberts headed to the bridge.
Gray told Duzzit his story. Duzzit said nothing as Gray spoke. He looked as though he was making a great effort to control his emotions towards his crew. After Gray was done telling his story we sat there in silence.
”So...” I began but before I could form some words to break the silence. There was a Flash of orange fir as Angus leapt on the table grabbed the bacon right off Duzzits plate and darted off the other end of the table.
"What tha...." said Duzzit with a look of total shock on his face. “GIVE THAT BACK!” Duzzit exclaimed as he grabbed for the cat. As fast as he was Angus was a little faster. He ran to the door but Angus was gone.
”STUPID CAT!” Yelled Duzzit. As he turned back to the table Grumbling about his lost bacon. He sat back down and I tried to suppress a laugh. He looked at me angrily.
”What are you laughing at Forrester!” Said Duzzit. “HE STOLE MY BACON!”
I could no longer hold it in and howled with laughter.
The look on your face.... I said laughing so hard I could hardly talk.
Gray had broken down as well and was laughing as hard as I.
The anger on Duzzit's face melted away as a smile spread across his face. He started to chuckle and it deepened into a jolly laugh. We laughed till we had tears in our eyes. All the stress of the day just fell away. It was exactly what was needed.
I stood up and said. “Duzzit I need to head back to my home planet and pick up my brother for the tournament. We will be eating a good breakfast at my mom and dads. You are welcome to join us. We will be back in time for the opening of the tournament. I understand if you cannot join us because of all you might have to do today.”
”Gray, I have had Roberts move the comms array into the hanger bay so you can start work on it. The stuff you needed is being loaded onto the ship as we speak.”
”Gentlemen I have a few things to get done. Duzzit let me know what your plans are. We leave in an hour.”

"Gentlemen I have a few things to get done. Duzzit let me know what your plans are. We leave in an hour."
"Wait just a minute Slamer i have something to show you" i said with a twinkle of mirth still in me eye's
"and whats that Gray?" he replied with a quick look
"this"
My arm once again unfolded i pointed it towards the wall and fired.
A beam of orange light erupted from the end of the device and displayed a shimmering holo image of a cinematic argon vista complete with argnu herds and a running stream.
*I'm very glad you didn't shoot me because if you did all i could have done is try and blind you with argnu" once again i broke down in laughter
"imagine that attempted murder by angry light!"
again Duzzit, Slamer and i laughed
I took a sip of strong milky tea sighed and headed off towards the hangar bay to start modifications
I think I'll come to like it here although I'll need to be more straight about my limbs in the future...i have little intention of growing new ones I'm quite attached to these, great for engineering and you never know when
an extra finger can be handy.

While everyone is having dinner over Forresters ship I on the other hand settle with more humble but yet tasty space pizza aboard my ship.I don't like to be too official but it doesn't take much to make a guy happy.And well i don't smell good after the clean up i had to do.I think i may consider to take a shower after dinner perhaps??Who knows!The Nightmare sighning off from his private space in Presidents end.

"Hey, fill this up, will ya?"
Trigger groaned. He was starting to become physically sick at the smell of coffee (which he'd previously quite enjoyed) and the huge demand was making his other duties all the more difficult. As if it wasn't hard enough preparing Michelin-star quality food (at least in his mind) while remembering who liked Hawaian pizzas and who prefered chicken sandwiches. Not to mention that half the staff had suddenly decided that they like tea instead.
And what thanks did he get? NONE!
Later
Trigger finished the washing up and went to his quarters for the 'day'*. On the way he remembered something his ATF instructor had told him.
"Smile, kiss ass...and stab 'em in the back when they're not looking."
Sure it related to a completely different situation but it made him feel better.[ external image ]
Back in his quarters he noticed a new message. Strangly, it had no address or name.

Despite digging up his lessons on computer espionage he failed to track the sender of the message so let Olterin know the situation.We know where you Are.
We know abouT Fire.

Personal log
I headed off to make sure everything was ready for our departure. Had to get the supplies that Gray needed loaded in as well as the extra energy cells.
Duzzit dropped by the bridge to let me know that he had too much to do to join us. He seemed quite disappointed not to be able to go.
Gray was in the hanger hard at work. I told it would be fine if he wanted to get a little more sleep but he insisted that he had to get this done.
With everything loaded up we undocked from the Merlin and made ready to Jump. We had to make one refueling stop in argon prime then headed off to my home planet.
We arrived right at 7:00 AM local time. I called Gray up from the hanger. I had them place the ship in orbit. We found an atmospheric taxi. We transported over and flue us to the surface.
Flying over all the farmland really brought back some memories of my past. Gray commented about how beautiful it was. He had spent more of his life on a ship and had never been to a real planet farm before. He looked almost excited. We landed at a pad about ½ a mile from my old home. After being on a ship so long it was nice to get to walk in the open air though the coffee fields.
Gray said very little as to walk. He seemed to be taking it all in. As we walked I pointed out to him some of the place that Alex and I had played as children.
After a 10 minute walk we entered the driveway to my parent’s house. It was a beautiful old looking farm house. Dad had built it like the one he had grown up in back on earth. It had a wraparound screened in porch, lined with half a dozen rocking chairs.
As we walked up the screen door exploded open as all my little cousins ran out of the house hollering there greetings and dog pilling me with hugs. Gray stood there with an amused smile on his face. I freed myself and introduced them to Gray. They instantly noticed his arm and started to ask questions. I was worried about them upsetting him but he just smiled and started showing off all the things his arm could do. He now had at lest 10 new friends. I chuckled and walked to my mom and dad who had been waiting for me up in the yard.
I gave them both hugs. James came running out of the house and nearly knocked me off my feet as he gave me a big bear hug. He had filed out nicely sense I had last seen him. Jenny my sister followed him more slowly and gave me a hug as well. She had become a beautiful 18 year old woman. I then introduced them all to Gray.
We walked together into the house. Mom had the table ready and had us all sit down. She served up some of her famous biscuits and gravy along with eggs, grits and bacon. It was the best meal I had had sense leaving the farm. I was not sure how Gray managed to eat 3 plates of food and answer all the questions that the family was pelting him with. He seemed to be enjoying himself.
Dad told me about his plans for massive expansion of the farm. He and the community were all expanding to keep up with the fleets demand for coffee. Thanks to the admiral the local economy was now in a boom. Unemployment was down to a record 4 %. Dad told me he was having problems finding help and had to hire off planet.
After the meal James ran up and got his luggage and the whole family escorted us to the waiting taxi. We boarded and headed back to the ship. I watched them all waiving till I could no longer make them out. I will miss them.
Gray told me with a tear in his eye how much he enjoyed that. It had been a long time sense he had been with a true family.
Once on board the Aegis Gray followed by James headed off to the hanger bay, James asking a million questions.
Back to the fleet now and the tournament.

"Pepperoni pizza, come and get it!"
No response
"You're food is waiting sir!!"
Still no response
"I SAID MOVE IT FLYBOY!!!"
The owner of the meal sheepishly got up from his conversation and took his meal.
"Another (un)happy customer." Trigger said under his breath.
Underappreciated didn't cover how he felt. It was hard making high quality meals with absolutly no help. All without even the slightest sign of appreciation.
Slowly, a smell crept into his nostrils. The smell of Bifteck de Boeuf avec la Patate Douce* 0.5°C above perfection.
"The Steak!!"
Trigger rushed into the galley to turn off the oven, getting some wierd looks from the mess hall in the process. It was still edible, but it no longer represented his skillz to the full. He cleaned up and started on the Tomato Soup with Sour Cream.
'Later'
Trigger walked in a thoughtful daze back to his quarters. That anonymous message was still on his thoughts. He'd always thought that his 'suspention' had proceeded a little too quickly and easily. Now it seemed that the ATF were a little more deceitful than even he would have thought. Since he'd recieved no word from the security department yet Trigger decided to do some snooping of his own.
A surprise awaited in his quaters. Either someone with a higher security clearance (most people in the company) had gotten drunk and raided him or a spy was onboard. Trigger quickly dismissed the first possibility considering what the Admiral had said the last time that had happened.
OOC: Feel free to PM me if you have tips on improving my writing style.

Personal Log----Tournament Day
Tournament Day was here at last. Duzzit informed me that we needed one more person to fill out the line up. When James heard he was jumping at the chance to join in the game. I asked Duzzit if it would be ok for us to use quarterstaffs instead of hand to hand to allow James some chance. He went so far as to permit James to keep his staff if he moved up just to give him a fighting chance later. I would not be allowed to do so. This was fine with me.
James was excited about the chance to fight even though he knew if he got past me he would get killed. He went to tell Gray about the news.
I grabbed my quarterstaff and gear, made sure the ship was ready and safely docked, then I found James and Gray and we headed to the tournament. Gray was going to be fighting Duzzit.
When we got there James and I were told that we were up first.
We headed up to the platform. I took my stance on the right facing James. The bell rang and the match started. I decided to take the defensive and let James attack. I knew he had more recent practice than I, but I had more experience.
We circled each other waiting on the other to make the first move. James did not wait long and lunged forward making a probing attack. He started off with a simple left right left right left left attack. Trying to catch me off guard and test how rusty I was. I was able to deflect his blows. He moved to a stabbing attack followed by a sweeping upward blow.
I was able to deflect the stab and dodge the blow. I settled back into my defensive stance.
James backed off a bit then charged in with a furious attack. Working left to right then up and down trying to get me into a pattern then breaking that pattern to catch me off guard. I received a few nicks and light taps but nothing serious. The staffs seemed to have become a blur in the constant barrage that lasted a good ten minutes. The sweat was pouring down James face with the effort he was making. I noticed that he was tiring and slowing a little bit.
I waited for an opening. At last he stabbed out a little too wildly so that he was a bit out of position. I ducked the staff and landed a blow on the back of his knees. He fell to his knees on the mat, desperately trying to bring his staff back in to defend himself, but he was too late as I sent a stabbing blow in under his defenses and landed it square on his chest. This knocked him onto his back. I was able to disarm him and he yielded. Even with the padded armor, the blow to the chest had winded him.
I helped him up from the mat as the crowd cheered. It had been a good fight.

It had been a good fight. Forrester Showed off an advanced level of skill while in combat. *deep thought* Im still better thought. Still, it will be a fun fight when we have to do so. Got to announce next match.
"Well done you two, take a rest" i say to them
They grin at me and walk over to the benches.
I cough.
Echem
"LADIES AND GENTELMEN!, THE NEXT FIGHT WILL SOON BEGIN WOULD YOU GIVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF APPLAUSE TO OUR PAY MASTER, THE ADMIRAL! THATS RIGHT FOLKS, WE GET THE CHANCE TO BEAT HIM UP AND GET MONEY FOR IT" I roar
The crowd laughs
"HIS OPPONENT, CAPITAN NIGHTMARE!"
More applause.
"The Fight will consist of no weapons, but there are various small and large obstacles in the arena, whenever you two are ready, enter the fight area".

as Forresters fight came to an end,Duzzit announced the next fight...it was my turn but i still can't understand why everyone calls me a captain when i pilot only a freigher...who knows!
The Admiral steped to the one end of the arena and i am on the other...the obstacles appeared and Duzzit started the coundown...
5....4.....3....2....1...FIGHT!
We both ran to the middle jumping and avoiding various obstacles and when we had a clear path to each other we both charged and we both managed to land a devastating blow...still can feel the pain..
The Admiral didn't waited and started his attack with furious fists that he was sending in my direction...i manage to block most of them but not all...
The Admiral was clearly tired and i saw my opening which resulted in succseful blow on the tired admiral but the fight wasn't over yet i'm afraid and i am tired my self...
I attacked but the admiral was clevered and passed behind an obstecle which made me to abourt my attack...
"If you want to play like this i have no problem"-i said
with the whole moving obstacles it was easy to lose track of him..then suddenly he jumped from behind but instead of hitting me i dodged and striked when he was opened...
now both on the edges with lot of energy wasted we stood and watch each other for 10 sec...
"Lets finish this"-The Admiral said
"Agreed...."
and with that we launched at the same time our attacks which were probably be the last....we both gave 110% on those attacks...it was do or
die(figure of speach)
at the moment we were going to colide the power stoped...
"TURN ON THE EMERGENCY POWER YOU PICKED A HELL OF A TIME TO CUT THE POWER!"-yelled Duzzit
when lights were restored we were both lying on the groun battered and exausted...neither able to continue...everyone wondered what happend but the Duzzit said that he was recording and the camera had night vision so he played on the BIG TV so everyone can see...
the tape showed how I and The Admiral performed devasteting attacks which were both succsesfull thus knocking out each other...it was incredably silent and then everyone aplaused for the great battle as for me and the admiral we both needet some help as to getting up and clearing the arena for the next mach
Now we can only wait and see if enyone moves on or we are both out of the tourny

Trigger looked at the Tournament notice. He had mixed feelings about his pairing. Few of the others seemed like they had recieved any real CQC training, though some had sheer speed and strength.
As for Olterin? The demands of his job made sure that his skills were fresh and physique honed, whereas Trigger had never been particularly athletic (nor found the need to be) and hadn't trained in a while. His only hope was that Olterin hadn't added much to his USC training which would allow Trigger to make use of a few tricks the ATF had taught him.
'Later'
Trigger heard a loud crash from outside the galley.
"No fighting in the Mess Hall!!"
Trigger was getting worried about the lengths the staff were going to prepare for the Tournament. Some had asked him to prepare glowing, rat-shaped packages (presumably obtained from Nightmare's ship) and he heard someone ask the frequency needed for super-strength. It came to a head when someone asked him if he could make seafood - having not heard from Swein Luf in a week. Trigger decided to see the Admiral.
"Sir, I'm worried everyone's taking this competition too serouisly. I've had to break up 5 fights in the mess hall, had at least 3 requests for radiant rodent stew and I haven't seen Swein Luf since the first notice."
Trigger paused, seeming to consider something.
"Also, could you please make it known that anyone who does not show proper courtesy to the chef is going to get free 'cream' in thier tea or coffee."
'Even Later'
Trigger looked through his notices. Forrester had won the 1st fight and Nightmare & the Admiral had drawn. Olterin had the physical advantage but Trigger was certain that technique and cunning was on his side. Based on this Trigger hoped that his match had both weapons and obstacles.

now that was weird, power going out like that, perhaps it was due to that experiment In the missile test labs. The admiral will proboably want to sort those scientists out later. Hmm if im looking at this right, both fell, though The admiral did fall first, so i may have to declare him the loser, or draw the match and allow nightmare to pass to the next round.
"The battle is a draw, however as The Admiral Fell to the floor just a bit before nightmare, I will ask that you remain in the tournanment."
The crowd was a bit perplexed, but it cheered non the less at the announcenment.
"Now then, It seems I've got to face our newest recruit, Mr Gray"
shit, i should have read more about exactly all these implants/mechanical components do to his physiology. Ive got the standard military pain reducing chip, but thats about it for modifications. Rest of me is pure training and experience, far far too much of it *closes his eyes and remembers fighting in the swamplands, where handguns didn't work and remembers tearing off a pirate's arm*. I hope his strength is not THAT well enhanced
The Crowd looked a bit uncertain at this, with some wanting me to get a good kicking since I have pushed them around a lot with Olterin trying to get their skill to Improve, and some uncertain or Gray.
Sigh
"So, you sure you don't wish to give up now?" I ask him.
"I could, but I think I need to see how well you fight" He replies
"About your-
"The mechanical limbs are mostly a simple replacenment for my original arms, they do not give me some form of extraordinary strength boost, only that I feel very little pain in them".
"I sure hope so, it would be embarrasing ripping them off like I did to an unfortunate scumbag once"
He stares slightly.
We step into the arena.
Its a hand to hand, no obstacles arena.
I get into a basic combat pose, one leg in front of the other, knee slightly bent. It would seem he had the same idea.
We nod at eachother to accept the start of the fight.
I launch myself at him, striking at his left... He dodges and attempts a sweeping kick to throw me to the ground. I put all of my weight into my leg, and when the kick comes its not strong enough to put me down, but it staggers me slightly.
He lunges at me, just missing my face. I grab his arm and attempt to kick him while that is immobalised. My kick connects, but Just as it does he pulls his arm back and it knocks me into him.
Shit just as he is about to hit me on my right, I headbutt him and Jump away.
I grin at him.
"Fun stuff" I say.
"Very good" he replies.
I had heard that Duzzit has plenty of experience, but he is fighting me without even increasing his breathing yet, while I can already feel some sweat dripping down my back .
He launches at me, and when he parries my swing, just as his other fist is about to connect, his arm suddenly goes limp.
He looks as if he is about to scream out in pain.
"Shit, it seems my arm is unable to continue right now... I must see what is up with it." he replies through gritting teath.
"I see".
Phew, if he had hit me there then, damn I would of been in trouble. I must rematch him after he fixes his arm at some point
"This match has come to an end, please give a round of applause to Gray, and hope he gets better."
"Let me walk with you to the med-bay" I say
"Thanks, but I can still walk Oilver, no need to... you have to finish this tournanment afterall" He replies.
He walks away.
"Alright People, Now we shall see a match between Olterin, and Trigger, that is, if they were here."
Presses Station Wide communication.
"OI Trigger, Olterin get over here already!"
....
"The battle is a draw, however as The Admiral Fell to the floor just a bit before nightmare, I will ask that you remain in the tournanment."
The crowd was a bit perplexed, but it cheered non the less at the announcenment.
"Now then, It seems I've got to face our newest recruit, Mr Gray"
shit, i should have read more about exactly all these implants/mechanical components do to his physiology. Ive got the standard military pain reducing chip, but thats about it for modifications. Rest of me is pure training and experience, far far too much of it *closes his eyes and remembers fighting in the swamplands, where handguns didn't work and remembers tearing off a pirate's arm*. I hope his strength is not THAT well enhanced
The Crowd looked a bit uncertain at this, with some wanting me to get a good kicking since I have pushed them around a lot with Olterin trying to get their skill to Improve, and some uncertain or Gray.
Sigh
"So, you sure you don't wish to give up now?" I ask him.
"I could, but I think I need to see how well you fight" He replies
"About your-
"The mechanical limbs are mostly a simple replacenment for my original arms, they do not give me some form of extraordinary strength boost, only that I feel very little pain in them".

After my fight with James I had headed with him to the care center that had been setup. The doctors there checked us both out. Other than a few bumps we were both fine. As we were leaving the care center the lights went out for a moment.
James and I both wondered about what this might mean. After the lights were back on we headed up to the ring. We passed the admiral and Nightmare as they were nearly being carried down the stairs to the care center. Both of them looked like they had been beaten to a pulp.
When we got to the Ring we found that there fight had been a draw but the admiral had hit the mat first so nightmare was to move on. I am not sure how he has a chance in his next fight all beat up like that.
James and I watched the fight between Gray and Duzzit. The winner of this fight would probably be fighting me. Gray put up a good fight till his arm gave out.
I told James that Duzzit was better that I was. The only thing I might be able to do is play the defensive till he gets tired. I can dodge, block and parry with the best of them, but my offense in hand to hand is not near as good as his. If fact he has taught me most of the advanced stuff I know. If I strike too soon I am going down. I can only hope he gets mad when he has problems getting though my defense.
We then sat down and waited on the last fight of round 1 to start.

It all started pretty promising until gray got the malfunction....aw well things happend.I learned from Forrester that i was going to the next round because they were short of fighters that made me quiete happy but i think ill kiss my promotion goodbye because i kicked the admirals butt
The next fight is between Olterin and Trigger...i hope Trigger doesn't get hurt too bad..after all Olterin has some training.
