HeyTim85 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away were two beings that had been ripped away from their way of life and moved across time and space. They two had been awoken abruptly by some prodding by what appeared to be a robots. The two slowly stood noticing an army of robots standing with guns pointed at them. They lead them into a large room that appeared to be used for some type of ceremonies. A robot much larger than the rest of the robots greeted them as they were prodded up the stairwell. He told them he was General Grievous and that he believed them to be spies. They were perceived as a danger to everyone around them and should be put to death immediately. Nightcrawler tried to explain the situation to the General, but kept getting interrupted by the General telling him that all his words were lies. Gambit told Nightcrawler to save his breath; they would never believe how they arrived there, when in fact they weren’t even sure what had come to be. Nightcrawler demanded that there must be some way to prove their virtue even under these unusual circumstances. General Grievous thought for a moment, deciding what to do with these spies. He told them that he had that he would give them a chance to fight for their freedom. If they defeated him they could have their freedom. If he defeated them he would have their lives. He tossed two lightsabers on the ground before him and told them to arm themselves or die where they stand. Nightcrawler picked up a lightsaber, and after fumbling it with it managed to turn it on. Gambit who had picked up his as well tossed it to Nightcrawler. The staff, Gambit claimed, being the only thing he needed. The fight soon began as General Grievous came towards them. His first strike struck at gambit who managed to deflect it with the energy from his staff, which sent sparks flying in all directions. The only way for Nightcrawler and Gambit to win is to Disarm they’re opponent. General Grievous victory lies with the two x-men’s heads. Gambit is equipped with his playing cards, Nightcrawler with the two lightsabers, and General Grievous with four lightsabers. Since nightcrawler has no real knowledge of his surroundings he cannot simply teleport away. Gambit is at his standard fighting level and is not as powerful as his Horseman of Death status.

JohnnyChany Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Nice pairing, HeyTim85. Nightcrawler is a skilled swordsman, skilled enough to beat Grievous probably not, but with Gambit's help I think they get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyTim85 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks JohnnyChany. It was a little too much for Nightcrawler to do on his own. Grievous resume of slaying Jedi's in the past is definitely impressive. The two x-men definitely have they're work cut out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSkillz Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Pretty good set-up, HeyTim, though the story could've used dialogue instead of it just alluding to it. As for the match, Grievous looks pretty tough. Kurt and Remy are really going to need to utilize their best teamwork to stand a chance here.

Guest Dinsdale Piranha Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 This is a good set-up and a very interesting match. Grevious makes a good X-Men level villain, IMO (at least for back in the day.) I think, with some good teamwork, the X-guys can take this one but it'll be close. That's a little hard to judge because Grevious seems to operate at two power levels. In the movies he's tough but nowhere near as impressive as the unstoppable killing maching of the cartoons. The write up is good but could be a lot better if you drew us directly into the dialogue and action. The cliche writers hear all the time is "show us, don't tell us." And be careful of your tenses. You write in the past tense but there were some slips into the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
