Guest callisto Posted January 26, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 26, 2011 Where the *vulgarity* am I ?That was the question running through his mind as he walked down the alley. The man was wearing a long leather trench coat over a black leather body suit, complete with a hard leather cowl that hid the top of his face. He checked his surroundings again just to make sure.Stark white walls, red tiled roofs, and streets all done in the Feudal Japanese style. Off in the distance was a large mountain with another white tower at the top of the cliff face. The Midnighter was rarely rattled, but even he found the landscape a little disturbing. It was still nothing compared to the Carrier, but still...All he could remember before waking up here was Jenny Quantum trying to undo some spacial rip that lead to the Bleed. The energy output was blinding, and he was rendered unconscious by sheer sensory overload. And when he opened his eyes, he was in this *vulgarity*ed up place.I don't like this, he thought, no shadows. No dark places to slink into. I'm too exposed here. Gotta find a place to hide or a way home.As if his thoughts had betrayed him, The Midnighter suddenly sensed this intense...presence...nearby. He swiveled to face where he felt the threat to be, and was met with the presence of this ogre of a guy. His features were sharp, his face weathered and riddled with signs of battle, including an eye-patch. His hair was done up in liberty spikes with bells tied to the end of each spike.He was wearing part of a black hakudo with a white, sleeveless long coat draped over his bare shoulders. In his hand was what appeared to be a long-ass, beat-to-hell sword, the flat of the blade resting carelessly on his shoulder. Everything about this guy-posture, clothes, everything-screamed aggression. He looked like a guy who had seen and killed it all.The Midnighter like him already. His combat computer and senses quickly analyzed the man before him, playing the fight to come millions of times in his head. All in half the time it takes to blink."Pretty impressive," the giant spoke in a rough but amused tone, "most humans can barely breath in my presence, but you barely look annoyed," the man's grin became manic, his voice excited, "You must be strong!," Midnighter smirked."You could say that," Midnighter said evenly, cracking his knuckles so as to avoid the spikes on his gloves, "But enough with the pleasantries-""Agreed!," the man roared before charging him. Midnighter's eyes widened as he sidestepped the super fast swing, realizing he had closed about thirty yards in a split-second. He had intended to keep the conversation going a little longer, but this guy was itching for a fight.Then again, so am I, Midnighter grinned as he continuously dodged and weaved around his opponents swings. The man definitely had skill, but he wasn't using any particular style. He was just swinging his sword. Midnighter frowned, realizing that this man's lack of discernible style would make his attacks much harder to predict. He saw an opening and delivered a jab that would turn a human head to paste...But the blow sort of glanced off. Midnighter's combat computer quickly made the necessary tactical adjustments, accounting for the man's incredible speed, strength, and durability. The fact that the man still had that manic grin on his face meant that the blow either hadn't hurt him or he simply didn't care if he was injured.So he's either a tank or a berserker, Midnighter mused as he kept dodging and countering. Despite the man's ferocity, Midnighter was able to land several blows that should have been devastating. He felt the man's ribs crack, his cheek bone shatter, and could see the tell-tale holes left by his spiked knuckles.But the man was still fighting. Still grinning.Then he started laughing."HAHAHA! Very good! You can actually hurt me! Finally! A warrior whose determination is enough to make me bleed!," Midnighter kept a straight face, unperturbed by the man's ranting.Definitely a berserker, Midnighter thought, And the type that seems to get his jollies out of fighting deadly opponents. Pain and injuries mean nothing to this guy. He won't stop until he's dead...he's more like me than I thought.Midnighter's computers flashed a warning, and he watched in slow motion as the heavily chipped blade bit deep into his chest cavity. Midnighter used a burst of speed to increase the distance between him and his foe. The wound didn't hurt (he had shut off his pain receptors before the fight started), and his internal healing abilities had already stopped the bleeding, but it was definitely a serious injury. Any normal man would be dead.But he was not normal.He was what he was bred to be.An unstoppable super soldier.Night's Bringer of War.He heard the man's laughter."HAHA! Excellent! I was afraid I had killed you! This fight is just getting started, after all!," Midnighter simply grinned. A moment later his spiked fist crashed into the man's throat."Got that right!," Midnighter yelled as he began a furious assault of punches and kicks at a rate that would make even the fastest of super heros jealous. He continued to press his advantage, raining blow after blow on the guy, dodging the mad counter swings that came his way. The Midnighter felt satisfaction as he force the man's back to a wall, and that the strength his blows were lodging him into said wall. But Midnighter knew he couldn't keep this up forever. He couldn't maintain this speed for very long. It was his intention to end it here and now, beating this guy down so hard that he wouldn't be able get back up.All the while, the maniac just kept grinning.After another moment, Midnighter leapt back from his foe. His lungs were burning, but he managed to keep his breathing under control. As the dust cleared from the onslaught, the man was still standing, but his head was down, his limp body wedged into the wall. Midnighter smirked, and turned to walk away..."Hehehe...," Midnighter paused in mid-step, and slowly turned back to see his opponents body shaking. The man threw his head back, laughing in such a deranged manner that even Midnighter was disturbed."That...was...GLORIOUS! HAHA! I haven't been this injured in almost fifty years! HeheHAHA! I can finally stop holding back!," he screamed as he ripped off his eye patch.You have got to be shitting me, Midnighter thought as the man's aura nearly tripled in intensity. Powerful winds whipped around the maniac, and Midnighter started finding it a little hard to breathe, and everything seemed so heavy. It was like being caught in a hurricane and a vacuum on Jupiter at the same time.Then the maniac simply swung his sword to the side, and the torrent ceased,. Midnighter watched in shock as the adjacent building began to topple over, sliced in half. The man grinned before charging Midnighter swinging his sword so fast as to practically create a wall of blades.It took all of Midnighter's experience, speed, and the full capacity of his combat computer just to avoid the life threatening swings. He could feel the force of the cuts that hit, and there were a lot. There was no thoughts of counter attacking. No looking for openings. Every fiber of Midnighter's being was focused on staying alive.Until Midnighter realized what a pussy he was being by not fighting back.He drew his collapsible quarterstaff from his sleeve and extended it with a flick.both armed to the teeth of weapons and power, the two strange warriors wouldn't know who would win.Who is the deadliest warrior here?The Soul Reaper Kenpachi?Or the deadly vigilante Midnighter?

575david Posted January 26, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 26, 2011 Um I have a question isn't Midnighter just a normal human? So how exactly can he hurt Kenpachi. Quote
Gizmo Hibiki Posted January 26, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 26, 2011 Um I have a question isn't Midnighter just a normal human? So how exactly can he hurt Kenpachi.have you ever read the comics he's been in? Quote
575david Posted January 27, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 27, 2011 have you ever read the comics he's been in?I've read a few. I wouldn't consider myself an expert, and I was just asking a question. Quote
Guest skadoosh Posted January 27, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 27, 2011 Um I have a question isn't Midnighter just a normal human? So how exactly can he hurt Kenpachi. Absolutely not, no. Midnighter is strong enough to punch through superhumans, can move faster than the superhuman eye, can take on several superhuman opponents at once, is an expert martial artist and tactician, and is expert with many weapons. He can see a fight before it happens via "a mental combat computer, with neural-inductive implants, which he uses to run through a given combat situation millions of times in his mind, almost instantly covering nearly every possible result before the first punch is even thrown. This allows for the perfect response and counter attack, such that if Midnighter can possibly win a battle, he will" - Wikipedia. For these reasons, i think he wins. Seeing as the Midnighters point is, like Wolverine or Hulk, to win every fight he gets into, unless hes up against someone with particle/realisty manipulation powers. Quote

corvette1710 Posted January 27, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 27, 2011 Having seen Bleach, and knowing a bit about Midnighter, I'm saying Zaraki wins, because when he takes off his eyepatch, all **** breaks loose. Kenpachi ftw. Quote

Kenpachi ftw.You have to keep in mind Zaraki loves a challenge. He won't remove his eyepatch if he thinks it'd be too easy. Quote
575david Posted January 28, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 28, 2011 sorry for sounding like a douch in the reply. If thats what you thoguht i sounded like, I apoligize.No it's all right you didn't sound like a douche. And Skadoosh thank you for clearing that up. Quote
corvette1710 Posted January 28, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 28, 2011 You have to keep in mind Zaraki loves a challenge. He won't remove his eyepatch if he thinks it'd be too easy.Yeah, but he takes it off for challenges, and this is definitely a challenge. Just look at Ichigo! Quote
DamagingRob Posted January 28, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah, but he takes it off for challenges, and this is definitely a challenge. Just look at Ichigo!Ok, just wanted to be sure. I give the set-up a good. Wish there was something higher. I say Kenpachi wins. Quote
kainboa Posted January 28, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 28, 2011 Actually, as stated in the setup, Kenpachi has already removed his eyepatch. with that said, Kenpachi takes this easily, he is stronger, faster, more durable and he has more experience than Midnighter.Midnighter may be able to move at superspeed, but Only in short bursts. Kenpachi can move at superspeed, as long as he want, this means that midnighter can't hit him, and you cannot defeat what you cannot hit. Quote
Guest skadoosh Posted January 28, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 28, 2011 No it's all right you didn't sound like a douche. And Skadoosh thank you for clearing that up. No problem dude. Glad i could help. Quote

kainboa Posted January 28, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 28, 2011 Of course, Midnighter would still see all of that coming... While Midnighter does have a form of precognition, it doesn't really help him much when his opponent can attack him faster than he can react and with greater force than he can deal with. As said, Kenpachi takes Midnighter down after a long battle. Quote
Guest Flamon Posted January 28, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 28, 2011 both armed to the teeth of weapons and power, the two strange warriors wouldn't know who would win. Who is the deadliest warrior here? The Soul Reaper Kenpachi? Or the deadly vigilante Midnighter? Probably Kenpachi. He's not exactly armed to the teeth. A ragged sword isn't exactly a huge armory.

corvette1710 Posted January 29, 2011 Read Aloud Posted January 29, 2011 Probably Kenpachi. He's not exactly armed to the teeth. A ragged sword isn't exactly a huge armory.But it is all that he needed to become captain of Squad 11. Quote
