New pup. Oh lord what did I do....

[immortal_phoenix]

I won't ask again.

Where is Diaochan!?

Comments

[dragonrises]

[ahahahahaha...ha. Crap, it's Lu Bu wat do]

...er. I haven't seen her.

[immortal_phoenix]

[Aaaand Sky Piercer is now pointed at your face.]

Do not test me, boy. Your entire Shu army could not stop me alone, and even the God of Destruction could not best me in in single combat.

If you have any information, you had best tell me lest your head find itself adorning my weapon.

[dragonrises]

[the Dragon Spear is ready to answer. But in a defensive position for now]

Stand down, Lord Lu Bu! I have not seen your lady, and that is the truth. I think I will keep my head right where it is, thank you.

[immortal_phoenix]

[And Lu Bu is just going to stare for a minute before growling and swinging it back in frustration, carving a nice gash in it.]

Just because your lord's reputation for virtue extends to his vassals does not get you off the hook. Until Diaochan is back under my protection, you and all your lord's men are hereby ordered to search for her.

[dragonrises]

O-ordered? [skfjahdjhfgeuyfgd] Now wait just one minute! I take orders only from my Lord Liu Bei. Search all you like but I am under no obligation to assist.

[immortal_phoenix]

[And have a glare that would make even Guan Yu falter.]

I see no sign of your lord. If you wish to dispute my orders...

[He cracks his neck and takes a fighting stance.] You're free to challenge my authority.

[dragonrises]

[for a moment he stares, because what fool in his right mind challenges Lu Bu? But then the Dragon Spear is back in position, ready for it]

You are not invincible, I have seen that for myself.

[immortal_phoenix]

[He growls for a moment, taking that statement as a challenge.]

It took the combined might of Wei, Wu, and Shu to trick me into submission in our home-land and even then none could work up the courage to grant me a warrior's end, and in Orochi's realm not even the great Tadakatsu Honda could defeat me.

[He tightens his grip on his halberd, a bit or red lightning crackling around the blade.]

...What chance does the fledgling dragon have against the immortal phoenix?

[dragonrises]

Oh, so you remember Orochi, then. You'll also remember that he, too, was not as invincible as he led on.

This dragon will not back down. Chance or no chance, I will not surrender.

[immortal_phoenix]

[Yeeeeeeeeah... no more words, just a one-handed swing of the massive polearm in Zhao Yun's direction aimed at his face.]

[dragonrises]

[up comes the blade end of the spear to block, though the power behind the swing almost knocks him over anyway. Ow. He spins out of it and circles around to counter-strike at shoulder height]

*needs to find more decent icons for the Bu-ster...*

[immortal_phoenix]

[Lu twists to the side to avoid the strike, lunging forward to counter with a headbutt, his totally manly feathers fluttering dramatically.]

I know the feeling

[dragonrises]

[he takes that hit dead-on and staggers backwards several steps. At least he doesn't lose a hold of his spear, but that really rang his bell]

[immortal_phoenix]

[Not one to relent, Lu swings the halberd once again, taking a swipe at Zhao Yun's chest.]

[dragonrises]

[he gets his spear up to block himself, crosswise, but taking the brunt of the hit that way just knocks him sprawling. He doesn't stay down, though, using the Dragon Spear to push himself to his feet]

[immortal_phoenix]

[Annoyed with how much resistance is being encountered, Lu spins his halberd in one hand.]

You wish to resist, fine! You will see why I am the greatest warrior the world has ever seen!

[And with a roar and a thrust, red and black energy erupt from the point of the polearm.]

[dragonrises]

[curse your sudden yet inevitable Musou. This time he'll stay down on one knee, leaning on the spear shaft]

Knocking me down will not convince me to assist you.

[immortal_phoenix]

[He strides over, a smug arrogant look on his face.]

You should know better, whelp of Shu. There have only been four warriors to ever provide a decent challenge to me. Guan Yu, Tadakatsu Honda, Keiji Maeda, and Orochi himself.

I spare only those who can come close to my strength that they might come closer and provide a more satisfying battle in the future.

[He raises Sky Piercer over his head. If you've got any allies you might want to drag 'em in.]

You do not meet that standard.

[dragonrises]

[there's really only one thing for it: escape. He rolls to one side and scrambles out of the way, retreating a distance]

My life is not for you to take, today. I intend to go to where my lord is, and I'm sure he prefers me alive in his service.

[immortal_phoenix]

BAH! Run then, you little coward. It changes little. Until Diaochan is found, and safely under my protection, none are safe from my wrath.

[Sorry for lateness. Computer issues. >.>]

/not here

[windfire_donuts]

[Aren't you forgetting someone in that list? Oh wait, he didn't give you a decent challenge. He curb-stomped you.]

/just now got comp fixed

[immortal_phoenix]

[...Shut up. >[ ]
