Nesh Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The start of a sequel arc to an old match I did here. MMPR/Gargoyles Part 1: Tommy Oliver woke slowly. The room he was in didn’t look familiar. Just where was he and how did he get here? He didn’t seem to be tied up or taken prisoner but something about this place didn’t feel right. Tommy looked over the décor; it was all very old, antiquated even. Like someone was really nostalgic for the Middle Ages complete, with weapons on the wall. “Ah good, you’re up, I was worried they’d been too rough on you Mr. Oliver,†a voce said. It sounded Scottish. Tommy turned to find a fairly richly dressed older man entering the room, “And that would’ve been disappointing after all I’ve heard about you.†“Just who are you, what’s going on?†Tommy asked. The man laughed. “Are you always like this when you wake up Mr. Oliver? If so it’s a miracle Lord Zedd hasn’t defeated you yet. At any rate as for I am you can call me Macbeth. As for what’s going on, well I only want to explain it once so I’m going to wait for your friend to wake up.†Macbeth gestured over to the side of the room where a stone gargoyle stood. Tommy didn’t recognize the thing and was totally confused by this.He and the others had come to New York at the request of some Gargoyles they had met when he hadn’t been on the team. Could that stone statue be one of them? In his time as a Power Ranger Tommy had seen stranger things. As the Sun went down he began to notice chips in the stone until finally it flew apart revealing and old looking but very much alive Gargoyle with a small sword on his belt. “Good evening Hudson.†Macbeth said. “Macbeth, why have you taken me away from my home? I thought you were only interested in Demona. You know she doesn’t care about my clan.†Hudson said. “Aye, I do know that Hudson but now I work for Lord Zedd, soon to be the ruler of the planet Earth and he wants you and Mr. Oliver out of the way. As well as all your friends†Macbeth explained. “Where are the others Macbeth?†Tommy demanded. He was worried for his friends but he mind was especially focused on Kimberly, as every young man’s mind should be when their girlfriend was in danger.“I don’t know. Lord Zedd has them all in different locations. He didn’t tell me where. Although I don’t you would have trouble finding them. If you two can get past me that is,†Macbeth tossed something to Tommy. The Ranger looked down and saw that it was his morpher, “You might want to morph if you plan to get past me and help your friends and come at me with the intent to kill. Don’t ever tell anyone Macbeth, son of Finley doesn’t fight fair m’boy.†“You’re a Power Ranger, like the ones Rita Repulsa tricked into fighting us a year ago.†Hudson said looking at Tommy’s morpher. “Yes, I’m a Power Ranger,†Tommy admitted, “and I can’t use my powers on another human being I could seriously hurt them. Macbeth under probably under a spell from Zedd, fight it!†“You don’t have time to waste talking Mr. Oliver. The opponents your friends and the other members of Hudson’s clan are facing won’t be as nice as I am. You’re going to have to fight your way past me to save them.†The old king said. Hudson put a hand on Tommy’s shoulder. “Your morals are admirable lad but our friends are in danger. Macbeth is a formidable fighter if we are to defeat him you will need to morph. Don’t worry about hurting him, he’s immortal.†The Gargoyle said. “Alright,†Tommy relented, “It’s Morphin’ Time: Tirgerzord!†Let’s take this outside shall we? I don’t want to ruin my house. *Macbeth is armed with:A broadsword15 grenadesA laser pistol5 electrified netsA flying scooter with small mounted laser cannons. *Tommy is from season 2 of MMPR with his White Ranger power. No zords. *The Sun just set ten minutes ago. *Macbeth must capture or kill Hudson and Tommy. *Hudson and Tommy must get way from Macbeth by any means. *Arena: New York City, night.

Guest Dinsdale Piranha Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Good write up and an interesting match! I always like seeing Gargoyles characters used! MacBeth is a first rate fighter and tactician and IMO could take either of these alone. Hudson probably matches him for intelligence and swordsmanship, and is much stronger, but gives up too much agility and tactical experience. Tommy is faster and more agile but is not as experienced or smart. But if Hudson and Tommy can work as a team, I think they will probably take this in a close fight. Having said that, I'd like to ask a question. I've never seen enough Power Rangers to know what powers they gain when they morph. As Green Ranger, Tommy is a skilled martial artist but he's that already. It doesn't seem to boost his skills noticably. Does it give him a strength boost, or more resistant ot damage or is it really just a uniform? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSkillz Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Okay, good set-up, Nesh. I see that you decided to revive an old Gargoyles crossover arc, just as I did. As for the match, while Macbeth is indeed very skilled and clever, I'm not sure he'd be able to take both Hudson and the original White Ranger down. Hudson's lack of quickness and reflexes would probably ensure that he goes down first, but from there it's still a tough battle. The Power Rangers have somewhat endured explosive attacks in the past, and the White Ranger's tougher than the average Power Ranger. I'd say Tommy's more skilled in h2h than Macbeth (but not by a lot), while Macbeth's is more clever and has far more experience. In the end, I'd have to say Tommy wins in the end, but not easily. He's still more durable against Macbeth's attacks than vice versa (one shot from any of Tommy's weapons and Macbeth is likely down for the count), but the fight is still taking place on Macbeth's home turf, so the old Scottsman would likely use guerrila tactics for a bit.
