Mica: Those explosions… hurt a bit haha.
Mica falls unconscious
--- Chapter 9 ---
Orson chases 4 into an open space.
4: So, you chased me into this wide open space? I hope you have a plan for this foolish act of thought.
Orson: Why, are you talking like that?
4: You may mock my speech, but you will eat your words soon fool.
Orson: Ok?
4 proceeds to retrieve metal device from under his cloak, which is in the shape of a handgun
4: Magic item Folta!
4 holds this in his right hand and places his left hand flat under the handle. An orange energy generates and swirls around, absorbing into the gun. A black rectangle on the left starts to charge up with orange rectangles. 4 strikes a pose.
4: My arcana “Forces” allows me to precisely calculate everything force related, so you're pretty much screwed.
Orson: Uhm, Ok?
4: I can instantly calculate force, thrust, drag, lift, efficiency, velocity, Speed, potential energy, kinetic energy, voltage, power, resistance, and mechanical advantage of anything I think of or anything I see really.
Orson: … Ok?
4: Ok kid your really getting on my nerves.
4, using his arcana, calculates everything, and pulls the trigger. Orson sees the shot and quickly strafes to the left. 4 closes his eyes striking a pose again, firing a second, hitting Orson in the stomach with a small explosion. A hole remains in the stomach part of his shirt, charred on the edges and the skin.
Orson: The thing packs a punch.
He says in an exasperated tone, like the wind was knocked out of him.
4: Are you finally gonna take this fight seriously.
Orson: To be honest you're the one not ta-
4: SILENCE!
He fires four shots at Orson, perfectly calculated, he dodges the first into the other 3. Orson gets sent flying from the hits.

Orson: shit that hurt
He tries to recollect himself, but as he does that, 4 starts to reload Folta, but moves his cloak to the side revealing an empty dagger sheath.
4: Magic item, Cera!
Orson: Two?!
4 grabs at the empty sheath like he was unsheathing a blade. Upon grabbing, a dagger materializes in his hand, too which he throws at Orson, who is lying on the ground.
Orson: Oh crap!
Orson quickly jumps to the side, but immediately takes a barrage of energy blasts.
4: AHahaHa, this is like taking candy from a baby, only it's your LIFE!
Orson quickly jumps to grab the knife he threw, only to find his fingers phasing through it, before it vanishes completely.
4: Ceras blades only live to hurt before vanishing completely. Since you seem so fascinated with them-
4 puts Folta away and moves Cera in a more accessible spot on his waste.
4: Then let me show you a little MORE of them!
He says this as he rapidly pulls blades from the sheath and throws them at Orson. Orson dodges to the best of his abilities but still takes a lot of them.
Orson: Is that all you got, chump?
4: … with that childish insult, your fate is sealed. NOW DIE!
4 pulls blades out, but as he does the sound of explosive fire is heard. That 1 guy with the scars is shooting the stone pillars causing many to collapse and fall over. One of which almost fell onto 4 causing him to jump back. Orson gathered his strength and ran at 4.
4: How the hell can you still move?! And how lucky do you have to be for a pillar to fall before I was able to kill you?
Orson tackles this man and starts to strangle him. 4 Swiftly responds to this by pulling a dagger and stabbing into Orsons side, and rolling on top of him. He then generates a new dagger sitting on top of Orson, holding it with two hands above his head.

4: Your luck is OVER! NOW DIE-
4 was abruptly cut off by the sound of an immense explosion from Mica's direction. A piece of metal comes flying at them, and sticks into the ground beside them. Micas short sword. Orson grabs the sword.
Orson: No, your lucks over.
Orson grabs 4 by the shirt and pulls him in close and stabs his back with the sword. 4s body goes limp.
4: the hell… you stabbed in between my damn spine. That shouldn't even be possible, my calculations…
Orson pushes 4 off with ease. 4, unable to breath due to paralysis. Slowly dies a painful and silent death.
Orson: My arcana, make me… extremely lucky. Your calculations were perfect and a formidable adversary, but due to my luck, you didn't once hit a vital spot. But damn you still hit me alot.
Orson takes 4’s magic items and pockets them. Still wounded and bleeding, he takes a while walking back to the group.

Badass
At the end of everything, Taylor Hebert realized something. She didn't want to be a superhero. No, she wanted to be a badass. And then her prayers were answered. Imbued with the power of mimetic badassery and the ability to channel a different real-life badass every week, she set out in search for all the best things in life - well, according to Conan, at least. Modeling herself after Conan have been a mistake. Join her on her high-octane, pulp-fiction journey for vengeance, adventure, victory and mayhem. This isn't just uncensored. It's anti-censored! =========================== (Worm/Fate/Badass of the Week) Warning: crack-taken-seriously, over-the-top pulp-fiction style violence, overpowered protagonist, banned on two other sites. Hell, even the light-hearted omake jokes in this were considered too subversive to persist. ============================ AN: There’s this really, really excellent website called Badass of the Week. I’ve wasted many an hour browsing through, marveling at all the crazy shit some humans are capable of. Check it out, then come back and read this in a few days when the awesome starts to wear off. It’s worth it (all 576 entries). Back? Good! Anyways, I was looking through it recently while thinking about who I wanted to make expy’s of for my The Flying Dutchman quest ship captains (which now languishes in indefinite hiatus), and I had this idea. What if Taylor, wanting to be a badass, triggered with the power to be a different Badass every week? With a bit of Fate-style ability to draw on the tools associated with the legend (but to a just marginally less ridiculous degree), and a drive and aura to be and do badass? And thus, Badass was born in it’s somewhat cracky glory. Enjoy.

The 1.000 year Great Sage
History says that each 1.000 years, a Great Sage is born. One that can control amazing amounts of Magic. And in this world with so many different races, that Great Sage will defend, rule or help one of those races to advance and evolve faster than any of the other races. At least, it used to be like that for the past 5.000 years. But then, I was born.

Witch Hunt. A Warhammer Fiction
The adventures of Adebar von Bolstedt continue!Adebar von Bolstedt, fugitive noble scion of the Empire, stuck in the Great Forest of Talabecland, is gravely wounded by the bestial denizens of the dark wintery woods, only surviving due to the timely arrival of aid and relief in the form of the masters of this land.What begins as a pleasant stay with the wild noblemen of Talabecland soon becomes a matter of faith and tradition as old as the Empire itself, when he finds himself trying to root out a coven of witches from a society that prides itself on rural living and knowledge of the mysteries of the wild. This quest will either see von Bolstedt's shaken faith in his own god reforged into an intolerant blade, or shattered like ice. Word from the AuthorGreetings! Witch Hunt plays out in the much beloved Warhammer Fantasy setting (owned, of course, by Games Workshop). Do not fret, however, as I've made it a point to make the story digestible even to the uninitiated, and maybe even be a good introduction to the setting. This is the second part of the adventures of Adebar von Bolstedt, as such I recommend reading part one, titled "The Hand of Sigmar" first.While I cannot claim the places, concepts and gods etc. mentioned within as my own, the story and all characters flowed from my own fingers.

Plague Time
Plague Time is the new virus killing folks in America. Set in December 2023, Curt Joiner recounts how the Plague was created and, if that wasn't bad enough, now he and his bloodline are stalked by a demon. Well, she wasn't a demon at first; first she was a young girl on a plantaion during the civil war. In 1865, amid the chared ruins of Georgia, she made a deal to get her fancy dresses and sweets back. You know who she made the deal with. All she had to do was stalk the men of Curt's family and pick off one per generation. Plauge Time is when Curt's number comes up. He’s writing to set the record straight, he says, but really he is pouring out the truth in the hopes that his wife will read it and forgive him. Or if not forgive, at least understand that he was an unfaithful husband and a cowardly man all on his own, but had outside help on the road to final damnation.
