Tryout Fic 9: VillageNess was a bit of a joke among many of the other contestants. While they could not deny his immense mental strength, he was just a kid. Few of the others shared his childlike need to be entertained, and most of those, like Kirby and Yoshi, couldn’t speak English. Ness had been fairly successful organizing baseball games the year before, but for some reason, no one was interested this year. Even Tails wouldn’t play with Ness, as he was more determined than even to keep up with Sonic. Ness thought of his friends, Paula, Jeff, and Poo. They wouldn’t stand for this either. Well, if no one will play with me, I’ll just have to entertain myself. Those battle-hungry dorks will never know what hit them. --- Max Payne was concentrating intently on his target. He had a lot of money riding on this shot. Sam Fisher, Tommy Vercetti, and Solid Snake waited nervously on the sidelines. Just as he pulled the trigger Max’s stomach groaned painfully. The shot was way off. Sam, Tommy, and Snake exchanged high fives as Max dashed for the bathroom. Sitting on a ledge overlooking the shooting range, Ness giggled excitedly. Though pranks had been his last option for entertainment, Ness was having a blast. His mind turned towards his next project. In the shadows of that same ledge, Jak watched his first opponent. I face this...this child in the first round?! Why, he’s nothing more than a foolish prankster! There is no need to follow him any longer. Ness however, was far from foolish. He knew Jak was there, and he had found a prefect target for his next prank. He giggled some more. If only his friends could see this… --- It was a beautiful day. Jak was seated on a lounge chair out in the sun. He was now confident that he would be victorious in his upcoming match. He dozed off, daydreaming of how he would humble the little boy, Ness. It was just as Ness had planned. Too easy! thought Ness, This guy is pathetic! He put his plan into motion, barely able to contain his laughter. --- Jak woke up from a peaceful nap and headed back to his room. He walked into the bathroom to change out of his swimsuit. He glanced into the mirror. His precious goatee had been shaved off, and on his chest, in permanent black marker, was crudely scribbled, “Ness Waz Here”. Jak’s scream was hear by all the other contestants, who briefly wondered where it came from before returning to business. Ness was doubled over with laughter. When would those old-farts learn? He headed back to his room for a nice juicy steak. Battle Fic: Kerrigan vs Master ChiefKerrigan stood in the center of the arena, waiting impatiently for Master Chief to arrive. She was far too arrogant to admit that this match wouldn’t be easy, but she knew that Master Chief was no pushover. Who am I kidding, this mortal has no chance against the Queen of the Zerg! Master Chief arrived in a brand new custom Warthog, complete with a few extra weapons. In some sense, he felt he had been trumped by this creature before. He wasn’t about to let that happen again, and besides, he’d dealt with plenty of unsightly aliens in the past. He pulled the Warthog into position. The bell sounded. The fight began. --- Master Chief immediately sent a barrage of missiles from his Warthog streaming towards Kerrigan. The smoke cleared after the huge explosion, revealing… nothing?! He hopped off the Warthog and scanned the area. Nothing. Was the explosion so powerful that Kerrigan was incinerated? She couldn’t be that weak… He turned back towards the Warthog, but it was covered in a slimy green mucus. “What the hell?!” Kerrigan laughed from the other side of the Warthog. “Pitiful mortal! Did you think for even one second I had been defeated? And here you’ve already lost your precious vehicle.” Master Chief still had no idea how the creature had pulled it off, but he didn’t have time to think about it. He quickly dashed around the Warthog and opened fire on Kerrigan. She wasn’t fast, but her natural body armor was thick. She seemed almost unhurt by the attacks. He tossed his pistol aside, and pulled his machine gun out and opened fire again. Kerrigan finally took action. Her “arms” lunged forward, creating a small explosion that sent Master Chief flying a few yards. He got up quickly and unloaded on the Zerg Queen. This time the barrage of bullets had an effect. She keeled over on the ground, visibly hurt. Master Chief looked over to notice his Warthog was free. Perfect. Just in time to finish off this *****. Kerrigan got up and laughed. The natural regeneration powers of the Zerg had already taken effect. Master Chief was noticeably spooked now, and raced even faster towards the Warthog. He was almost there, when an energy field burst out of nowhere directly above the vehicle. The warthog was quickly destroyed. It was just Master Chief and Kerrigan now. Kerrigan laughed to herself. This human is more pitiful than I thought. She tried to call up another electric field. It didn’t work. Damn! I used too much energy! Oh well; he doesn’t need to know that… Master Chief was running out of options. He still had plenty off bullets, a few grenades, and a Missile Launcher, but nothing had really had much of an effect on Kerrigan. He didn’t have time to consider his options, so once again he pulled out his machine gun, and opened fire on the Zerg Queen. Kerrigan dashed towards him, her thick carapace easily deflecting the machine gun bullets. She rolled to her left; a grenade exploded where she had been only seconds before. I’ve almost got you, puny mortal! She was close; too close. He had only one choice. He loaded a missile into his launcher as fast as he could. He quickly aimed and fired. The force of the explosion knocked him out and threw him several yards back. He came to after a few seconds and looked around. Kerrigan, the Zerg Queen, was nowhere to be found. Master Chief had done the impossible; he had defeated Kerrigan. Next Entry Back |
