A thread for my personal Met-Knights fight scenes.
I'm really getting into the canon I'm writing, and I'd like to explore some fight scenes earlier than intended.
Pastoral (PulseMan) vs ChillMan.
Pastoral readied his buster, as the strange robot descended onto the ice. His face was encased in thick sheets of glassy frost.
The robot was hefting a heavy buster, attached to a hose. It was likely a Utility Tool part. The two stood the same height. Pastoral's arm was ready, his shield still on his back. "Rogue unit, huh? You a drone, or a Master?"
ChillMan gestured around the room, sliding in circles on the ice. "Take a LOOK at me. Do I seem like a drone, brownie? Call me that again, and I'll grease you."
"Got a name?" Pastoral inquired, as he walked slowly. His boots kept him anchored to the ground well enough, but he had to take careful steps.
"I DID, until I got rid of it. Like I got rid of THEM, brown man." ChillMan smiled. "I didn't like it, so just go by my designation. ChillMan."
Pastoral felt a chill worse than any of the cold air here in the frigid, subterranian warehouse. He looked around as ChillMan drifted on the ice, still grinning.
Humans. Frozen in their last moments. Most workers at the ice production plant. Some were peacekeepers, their frozen faces hard with anger and desperation, still posed in their final recoils.
Some had died running. Some had died fighting.
"You're DESPICABLE..." Pastoral lifted his buster.
"Do something about it, or chill out. Either way's fine by ME!!!" ChillMan hopped into the air, spinning and holding out his blaster. "ICE CYCLE!!!"
The torrent of freezing solution nearly struck Pastoral as he zagged out of the way. He wasn't as fast as Octave, but he was swift, and surefooted. He aimed his baster and fired.
"NOPE!" ChillMan hurled a dollop of ice between him and Pastoral, and the ice took the blow, shattering. "MY TURN!" ChillMan hurled ice down onto the ground, and the ground became more uneven as Pastoral approached, firing his buster.
ChillMan took his advantage, skating and ramping and hopping with swift, soft ease. He moved almost like Octave, only slower. Pastoral had no problem drawing a bead.
Shifting into Semi Auto mode, Pastoral fired, blasting ChillMan in the chest, knocking him out of midair. "HOOOF!" ChillMan fell to the ground, as Pastoral aimed his buster, shifting it into three round burst mode.
Pastoral fired three times, the nine shots peppering ChillMan's chest and face. "FAXXXZZZTASKDZZZZZZ" ChillMan screamed in electronically distorted pain, as Pastoral moved in quickly, sliding on the ice just as ChillMan had.
One punch shattered ChillMan's helmet, and sent ice scattering to the floor. Pastoral drew and swung his shield, scratching ChillMan's chest-plate.
"NO! PLEASE! I surrender!!!" ChillMan fell backwards, holding out his hand in a gesture for mercy.
"How many people begged you for mercy? Why shouldn't I scatter YOUR parts?! They TRUST us! We're the people's HOPE." Pastoral aimed his cannon. "It's because of YOU that they think we're all MACHINES."
ChillMan grinned.
"It's because of YOU that they think we're all morons. Gullible DICK! EAT ICE BEAM!!!"
Just like that, ChillMan unleashed almost everything he had, hitting Pastoral square. The Robot Master was sent sliding backwards, as ChillMan unleashed his full fury in an icy blast hate.
"You wanna talk to me about love and peace?! DO IT AFTER YOU DIE!!! I've been working for these bastards for YEARS! NEWS FLASH! I've ALWAYS gotten a cold front from them! The workers, the technicians, everybody gives me grief and the cold shoulder just because of what I am! Industrial, Combat, or even SUPPORT MASTERS will ALWAYS be hated! We'll ALWAYS be feared! THEY HATE US FOR NO REASON!!!"
ChillMan ended his assault. Frosty smoke, and flakes of ice and snow drifting down, the view clearing, as ChillMan beamed, satisfied with his work.
Pastoral was still. ChillMan pumped his fist, happy to see he'd hit his mark and iced PulseMan.
He was only half right. Pastoral threw away his shield, caked with four feet of thick ice. His left arm was frozen, along with his right leg, but he was aiming his cannon, and pooling his energy.
"...NO!!!" ChillMan howled in horror.
I've had ENOUGH of this guy. It's time to end this.
Maximum Buster Output Achieved. Feedback in three seconds.
ROLLING STAR!!!
Discharge.
Pastoral's buster fired, and the blast shattered every crystal of glass in five feet of him. His shot's recoil shoved him back, but he held his ground as the blue, nearly invisible, tiny sphere traveled to ChillMan.
"HRAAAAAAAGVAAAAAAAAAZZZZZT"
ChillMan was only grazed by the shot, but his buster arm was devastated. He flew backwards, smashing against the wall behind him, shattering glass and concrete.
ChillMan laid on the ground, glitching and twitching and mumbling electronically distorted gibberish.
Pastoral stood over him.
"Cool story, bro." Pastoral put his hands on his hips. "You're lucky to be alive, but I'm putting you in cold storage."
PulseMan, with a powerful charged shot, stopped ChillMan cold!
Pastoral Wins!!!
