Drexx vs Gerrek Zig

[Deleted]

Drexx walked into the gravity chamber, sure that Gerrek Zig was close behind him. He was excited to show Zig the chamber, another thing that Drexx himself had built. Perhaps Drexx was taking a little too much pride in his constructs, but this one he felt he had a right.

"Computer lights" He called out as he walked confidently to the middle of the vast empty space. The lights flicked on and the vast space of the chamber was revealed. He turned and faced the large red alien.

"Well what do you think? I built it myself." There was more than just a little pride in his voice, but he did nothing to mask it. In stead he fell into a confident fighting stance.

"The real reason I brought you in here is because I'm curious about your fighting ability, as I know you are of mine. This fight is obviously not to the death but don't be afraid to not hold back. Don't worry I'm tougher than I look" He chuckled and raised his fingers, making the universal 'come get some' signal. He would let his red alien friend go first. He was curious to see his style, and the full extent of his power. He stood up out of his fighting stance and smacked his forehead.

"I almost forgot, Computer gravity on, times ten" Drexx wondered what effect the gravity would have on Zig, not knowing if the alien had fought or trained in enhanced gravity before.

Gerrek had followed the android into a dark, silent room. He was a bit concerned as to what sort of training they might do in such a place, but his question soon became moot as Drexx turned the lights on with a voice command. The red alien grinned at this and nodded. "It's pretty impressive already. Voice commanded lighting? I like it. Though, I hope the gravity amplifier is just as responsive and effective as the illumination." He looked around the chamber and got a feel for it. It was a very large room, and mostly empty save for the main console that seemed to control everything.

He wasn't surprised that his fighting ability was going to be evaluated. He couldn't feel anything from Drexx in relation to his power. But the fact that Drexx was entirely synthetic and mechanical at least gave a reason as to why that was. He was about to open his mouth and respond when the gravity shifted on and he twitched a little from the change."Hmm...it's not too bad. I think I could get used to it pretty easily. It feels a bit stronger than Vegeta's gravity, but not by much. It'll be good for my first couple of rounds." Zig smirked and turned his body to properly face Drexx now.

"If this is a test of my fighting skills, there's no need to hold back." He clenched both fists at his sides and closed his eyes for a moment. At first an off colored white aura started to surround the red reptile. It started at his feet and moved up his legs, slowly engulfing his body like a flame. The dance of that flame was gentle and steady at first, looking like an oversized candle. But it soon began to flicker. Wafting about wildly as if it was inside a cyclone. The color of the energy shifted to a pure white, and then to a dingy gray. The flickering became more balanced, but remained intense and rapid. The gray began to shimmer and gleam as the artificial light from the chamber hit it. It became a smooth, shining silver color. The change in power seemed almost completely internal. Zig didn't look like he'd changed at all save for the color and behavior of his aura. But sure enough, his power had quadrupled in those few moments.

Drexx smiled at Zig's lack of change from the gravity shift. When Drexx had first experienced he himself had hit the floor, only to struggle to get back to his feet. Zig was different, made of sterner stuff it would seem. This would be an interesting fight to say the least. The android was pleased with Gerrek Zig's reaction to the chamber, it was a matter of pride with Drexx and he was glad others appreciated his efforts. He was surpirsed when Zig powered up to his full limits, and a more than a bit impressed. This would be an interesting fight without going into Berserker Drive, if he could avoid it. But there was more than one way to make himself stronger.

"I won't hold back either." The android slowly took off his shirt and boots, removing his weighted clothing and letting his power-level return to it's normal limit. He fell into his fighting stance, ready and willing to fight.

Without any further warning he would launch a Dodonpa ray at Zig and then another at the ground in front of him, creating a cloud of dust and debris he could hide within. Without being able to sense Drexx's PL Zig would have a hard time pin-pointing his location within the cloud. He would draw Black Midas' pistol and begin charging it, hoping to get at least two shots filled before the massive red alien had time to react and the smoke had time to clear.

[hewhostandsalone]

And just like that the fight had begun. Zig didn't know what to expect from the android, and boy did he get a surprise. Zig wasn't the fastest of fighters. For someone of his level he was actually on the slow side. But in contrast to that, his large, naturally bulky form gave him impressive strength and durability for someone at his level, too. The first ray zoomed at him and struck him in the shoulder just as he'd tried to sidestep out of the way. The second beam hit its mark and sent a small cloud of smoke and dust into the air, giving Drexx the cover he so desired.

Zig was unable to sense or see his opponent, and he already expected a salvo of energy attacks to burst forth from the smoke. With that in mind, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and his aura rapidly expanded to form a bubble shaped barrier of silver around him. It hardened quickly as the energy became more dense with his increasing focus until it was fully solid. Zig looked around the room, trying to draw a bead on Drexx's location, but the smoke was still lingering and he couldn't find him in that. Then the first shot from that gun was fired. It struck the barrier with awesome force, causing it to crack and cave in a little. The first bullet was dispersed before it got through the barrier, though, and the energy began filling in the cracks and refortifying the reptile's defense. Before he could finish, though, the second bullet struck the same spot and the barrier caved completely. The slightly weakened shot hit Gerrek's forearms and shoved him back a few feet before he skidded to a halt. He grunted as his arms felt a little sore from the friction of that burst. He had no doubts now that Drexx wasn't joking when he said he was tougher than he looked. Unfortunately Zig didn't have anything with which he could use his signature attack. Not yet, anyway. Though his special ability wasn't entirely moot. He just needed something painful and rather specific to happen.

For the time being, Zig tossed a couple of energy bolts into the smoke as it began to clear. He made it what he thought was a faint silhouette of the android, so he aimed for that.

Drexx was struck across the chin by one of Zig's energy blasts and was knocked to the ground. He was impressed by the alien's ability to take a hit and keep on fighting, two of Drexx's blasts had hit the red alien, and both of them had been very powerful. Then again Drexx was fighting at a pl disadvantage, not that the alien would know however.

Drexx wiped the blood off his mouth and smiled up at the hulking red alien as the smoke cleared, the smile was a friendly one, with no hint of malice.

"I must admit i'm impressed with your ability to take a hit Zig, and to dish one out." Drexx stood up and brushed himself off. He smirked.

"I guess it's time to take the kid gloves off." Drexx launched himself at Zig, using his bukujustu to fly even faster at the massive red alien. As he flew towards him his Khopesh would slide out of his right arm into his hand and his shield would slide out of his left arm. He would swing wildly at Zig, testing out his reaction time and seeing if he could get in a slice or two. He would aim for non-lethal spots, he didn't want to kill his new friend, merely test him.

[hewhostandsalone]

Zig smiled a little when the smoke fully cleared and Drexx commented about taking off the 'kiddie gloves.' With the Android's confidence, Gerrek could only assume that he had a fair amount of untapped power remaining, and that if he wanted to he'd simply drop it all on Zig's head and end the fight then and there. But it wasn't raw power that he used in his next assault. Rather it was a shield and sword, that seemed to pop out of his arms. This made the red reptile raise an eyebrow in Drexx's direction, but he didn't say anything back. Though he did have a power advantage, Zig was still slow. Drexx actually DID have a slight advantage over him in terms of raw speed. On top of that the crimson alien had to deal with the fact that he hadn't quite gotten used to the change in gravity. For each slash of that sword, Zig had to make a choice to either take the hit and attack back or focus entirely on mitigating the damage. He knew Drexx's shield would likely repel any attack that wasn't very close and possibly able to catch him off guard. But Zig had a bit of an ace.

So far he hadn't shown the android any sign that he could use his tail to fight. He'd have to create an opening by either knocking the shield away or parrying his sword strike. As the swipes of that blade kept coming at him, he felt cut after cut across his chest and shoulders. Most of them were only surface wounds, so he wasn't too worried, but he really needed to act quicker. It was hard to focus when you were being slashed at, though. Instead of backing up more and trying to avoid the attack he stepped forward threw a punch on the same side that Drexx's shield was on while bringing up his forearm on the other side and letting it take the full edge of the blade. As this happened, his tail would whip around towards Drexx's right side and attempt to smash into him with all his strength.

Succeed or fail, the attack had its cost. The blade of the sword was currently a couple of inches into Zig's forearm. While his forearm was a little bigger around than Drexx's thigh, that still didn't leave a lot of room before the blade made contact with more than just skin tissue. Blood seeped out around the edge of the Kopesh in addition to making a rather sickening 'splrt' sound as it first sunk in. Gerrek gritted his teeth through the pain as his counter attack went through. He could only hope it worked.

[Deleted]

Drexx's blade bit deeply into Gerrek's forearm, blood seeping out around the edge of the wound, a sick noise filling the quiet of the chamber. Drexx didn't know how to react, he hadn't been aiming to inflict a blow like that on his large red friend.

"Gerrek I..." before the android could get out more than that Gerrek's tail whipped around and clubbed him in the ribs, sending the android flying into the wall. little mechanical birds danced around Drexx's head as he looked up, not fully understanding what had happened, he weakly pulled up his shirt and grimaced upon seeing the right side of his rib-cage caved in. Thankfully no major systems were disrupted, and even more thankfully the android didn't have lungs or a fragile heart in need of protecting.

"That... Was a hell of a hit..." Drexx tried to stand but his legs gave way beneath him, the gravity making the nanites in his body heal at a slower rate. He forced himself slowly to a standing position leaning against the wall, holding onto his side as synthetic blood dripped out of his mouth.

"I think... Now might be a good time to show you what I can really do..." Drexx added, smiling but weakly. "While I still can" he added under his breath.

He charged up his ki and felt himself slip into his Berserker drive programming, his power-level skyrocketed and he stepped away from the wall able to keep himself standing off of his own power. The nanites inside him too quickened there pace, and a sicking pop filled the air as his artificial rib-cage forced itself back into position.

"Ready for round two?" the android asked as he fell back into a fighting stance, not quite one hundred percent after the vicious tail-lash, but now with three times the power.

[hewhostandsalone]

Gerrek couldn't sense any changes in Drexx's power. He had to assume that Drexx was serious, though, as nothing the android had done would lead the red alien to think he was bluffing. In which case there was extreme cause for worry. If he could slice Gerrek's arm in his normal state when the alien was transformed, the android must have had incredible power reserves to fight on an even higher level. Needless to say, Zig was now taking things very seriously. The last bit of alcohol he'd been saving in his storage gland for a rainy day came up from his throat and sputtered through his lips in the form of a small flame. It was barely larger than an overfueled cigarette lighter. He moved the flame along the cut on his arm until it was sealed and cauterized.

He took a deep breath and looked over at the android, "I'm disappointed that you held back against me to begin with. Then again, you cut me even doing that, so I guess it was well deserved. I expect a return on my investment, though. If I don't at least get some bruises I'm gonna be upset with you." The red alien smirked and charged forward, leaping off the ground just enough for his energy to hold him up and increase his forward movement. A low altitude flight, more like high speed hovering, dashed Zig across the room to where Drexx was. Though he wasn't injured like Drexx, Zig was still feeling notable effects of the gravity. This put more strain on his stamina and kept him from using his full speed. He would unleash his best barrage of punches, kicks, and tail slams.

[Deleted]

Drexx dodged a flurry of punches and kicks and tails. His power was vastly greater than Gerrek's at this point and it did not take much for him to avoid the various blows. He didn't try and land any blows of his own, just avoided Gerrek's. He knew the devastating power behind his blows now and had no wish to harm Gerrek.

"I didn't mean to insult you my friend, holding back was merely done out of fair-play rather than meaning to insult you."

Drexx leapt backwards away from the giant red alien and charged his creator's aura. If the blast hit Gerrek, the fight would most likely end there. If it missed, Drexx still had more in his aresenal, but his body was hurting and he didn't know how long he could maintain Berserker Drive for.

(sorry for the short reply)

[hewhostandsalone]

Well, at the moment this fight seemed to be completely out of Gerrek's control. He'd gone from having a clear upper hand one moment to being totally outmatched the next. Try as he might to land a blow on his new friend, he could not even come close. The android dodged and evaded with such speed and skill that the larger red alien looked like he was standing still by comparison.

Gerrek realized he'd made a terrible mistake when Drexx leaped a little further backward than normal from his next volley of punches and he saw energy forming in the android's hands. As quickly as he could manage, he crossed his arms in front of him and formed another energy barrier around himself. But he could not fully form the proper defense he needed, and even if he had the distinct difference in power would have rendered it a moot point anyway. He took the blast directly despite his best efforts. It knocked him flying back across the room, slamming him into a wall of the chamber. He bounced off of it slightly from the shear impact and then was quickly thrown to the floor face first by gravity. The lizard had smoke billowing from his silhouette and he looked like he'd been burned and bruised all over. His nose was bleeding as well as the corners of his mouth. His whole body ached and his mind was foggy and blurry as he tried to form some semblance of thought.

Despite lacking the strength to fully stand, his first instinct was to try and get back up. His arms, wobbly as jello, slowly shoved his torso up from the floor. But it did not last. He had enough energy to give one last look up at his friend before groaning, slamming back to the floor, and falling fully unconscious.

OOC: PL for this one for me. Edit: Forgot about the x10 gravity. lol

[Deleted]

"Gravity off."

The effects of the added gravity gave way and Drexx found it easier to function. That had been one hell of a battle.

The fight had been won, and Drexx had tested the limits of Gerrek Zig. He was a very capable fighter and indeed almost had beaten the android. Drexx looked down at his side, still very much in pain. The nanites were healing most of the cruical systems, but his Berserker Drive was wearing off rapidly and he would soon meet the same end result Gerrek had.

The android walked slowly over to his big red friend to check on him. Drexx had certainly given him the bruises he asked for, but the big red alien didn't look too injured, just superficial stuff. Drexx felt the excess energy leave him as the Berserker Drive faded and he pitched face first to the floor, lying right next to Gerrek Zig. He let out a noise that was half chuckle half moan.

"Good... good one buddy. I look forward to many more." He lifted his arm and patted Zig on the shoulder before he too slipped into unconsciousness.

Pl for me too please, Light weights and 10x gravity in effect

[Geurin]

Drexx: 1800
Gerrek: 1800

Weird, I added the numbers, and they turned out the same lol. Nice spar guys
