Dec 03, 2008 5:33:46 The cheer of the crowd rises to a crescendo as a new combatant that most of the arena city had come to know quickly, albeit more for his exploits in the Tavern than in the Arena, for this was his first match and everyone was eager to see what he had got.

The roar from the tribunes was deafening and completely overpowered the sound of the footsteps as the combatant entered.

He is far from as impressive looking as many other gladiators in this arena and in fact, many of the spectators look far more impressive than him. A look into his eyes though reveal a confidence that can mean only two things in a man who enters this arena, madness or extraordinary power.

Worn baggy jeans with holes over the knees and a length of chain wrapped around one leg, a black leather belt with metal spikes that look more like decorations than having an actual purpose, a black t-shirt with the image of a skull and the words Iron Maiden printed on them, a black leather jacket with metal spikes on the shoulders and the word Dragonforce upon the back, a bracer with even more metal spikes, a gauntlet with unsharpened claws on the right hand, a collar, likewise with spikes and an electric guitar without power source is his battle gear. No armor worth noting, no weapons either.

The man himself is in the late teens, slim and almost frail looking of build, with skin as pale as marble and jet black hair worn somewhat long. His eyes are deep blue with a determined and confident look to them, but something about his air is slightly unnerving, as if he's not entirely natural.

"Let's do this."

Dec 03, 2008 8:08:24 No one sees Necryl enter the arena ring. his side of the ring is empty to begin with, and then, one moment, he is simply there. he seems completely undisturbed by Zack's strange nature - after all, he is hardly a creature of nature himself. With a snap of his Thinaun fingers, a wall of bones rises from the earth, seperating the two.

"Very well than. Let us begin."
Rogues do it from behind!

Dec 03, 2008 8:53:14 Zack strikes a tune on the guitar and soon another and a third follows and he starts singing as the sound of a full band chimes in from nowhere.

Rogues!
Do it in the darkness,
Rogues!
Do it where the sun don't shine,
Rogues!
And with a little drop of poison,
Rogues do it from behind!

As the the song and music continues the arena grows darker and the hellish sun is blotted out on "sun don't shine".

Then as the last word rings out and a part of raw music follows, Zack disappears. Next thing a blade is speeding at the lower back of the warforged, a blade seeped in a "poison" that greatly promotes corrosion. The tunes keeps sounding from a nonexistant band.

Dec 03, 2008 11:55:37 Necryl stares at the incoming blade with an amused gaze. The warforged raises one hand and, accompanied by the whispering sound of wind, a blast of pure spectral force shoots forth from his palm, deflecting the dagger and sending it clattering to the ground.

After another moment, skeletal hands begin to sprout forth from the earth beneath Zack, grasping at air, gradually pulling the rest of the body forth from the ground to reveal rows upon rows of skeletal warriors. As one, they charge, their mouths frozen in soundless battle cries.

If only it didn't come to this..

Give yourself a break, Necryl. This is my power, not yours. Besides, it's not as bad as you might think - take it from someone who knows.

Zack actually smiles as the undead rise from their graves and the gloom still lingers over the battlefield. He starts a new set of strumming on his guitar, far more fast paced now.

In the shadows faces appear
Warriors wearing full metal gear
All join together one and all
Before the glorious light

Rise up, gather around
Come and hear what is said
Use your senses open your mind
Don't you ever forget

On the wings of life, by the hands of hope
By the brightest light from the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
To the valley of the damned

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

As the tones ring clear across the vast expanse of the arena faces really starts appearing in the gloom, and bodies soon follow.
Mere seconds pass before a full legion of mounted knight stand in the arena and the clang of steel armor and barding as the horses move rings along with the sounds of closely packed animals.

The knights wear bright armor that shines softly and their swords and lances pierce the gloom with a bright radiance of holy energy as the soldiers form up in units and charge the rising undead. The armies clash violently, but the knights have the advantages both of being mounted and of their weapons, specialized in the destruction of the undead.

At the same time Zack stopped playing, a thing that didn't seem to make the knights disappear, but one might notice that he was still tapping the rythm with his left foot. At the same time he started playing a different melody on the guitar, how he managed to keep both flawless was quite the mystery.

Stand Ablaze
Stand Ablaze
Screaming
As the flames caress my face
Stand Ablaze

He sings in a near screaming somewhat inhuman voice, only barely intelligibly to those not accustomed to that type of singing. As he does so flames erupt around both Zack and Nercyl, turning the two of them into living bonfires, but where as the flames seemed not to harm Zack, they were quite a bit less benevolent towards Necryl.

Dec 06, 2008 7:55:57 As the flames engulf Necryl, a small, black film appears between him and the inferno - a tiny, stretched gate to the negative material plane. In an instant, the incredible radiating cold quenching the flames almost instantly. In one blindingly fast motion, Necryl sweeps the film up, altering its form through nothing more than pure willpower. In the next moment, he knocks one knight off the saddle with a strike, holding a scythe of black lightning in both hands.

Dec 10, 2008 7:18:09 Nercyl knocks down the knight, but his armor protects him from the brunt of the blow and he slowly gets on his feet. At the same time Zack stops the previous guitar tune and the flames around him fades away. He instantaneously starts a now one though, and one that is very asympthomatic for him and his taste, but some elements in the text makes one figure why he knows it in spite.

Please stay right where you are
When you run the meat gets less tender
Just lie down and surrender
Could you marinate in lime?

On the first line some force closes in on Necryl, slowing and restraining his movements, and on the third line the force begins to press him downwards toward the ground where a pool appears, but it is certainly not lime that is in the pool, rather a hissing volatile acid.

At the same time the knight that had been knocked down moves towards Necryl, his lance long enough to reach the necroforged from the brink of the pool of acid.

I.. I just can't compete. I may have a lightning-scythe, but it doesn't turn into a guitar or shoot bats >_>

Dec 18, 2008 5:03:53 Zack stops all his musics dead in their tracks, making the knights vanish from sight. The remains of the undead army that Necryl conjured now seems to have a stright line to Zack, but then he starts his next piece of music.

Soon there wont be anything at all
Gone for good

And now Im waiting for the big boom
It knows where Im gonna be
The big boom
Its always getting closer to
The big boom
And it will catch up to me
The big boom

As he sings the first two lines a deep circular pit around Zack opens, blocking off the approach of the undead.

On every "the big boom" a powerful sonic shock erupts within the undead forces with the power to tear a human to pieces. The last of the shocks does not erupt in the undead ranks though, but rather just on the opposite side of Necryl than Zack is.
