THE (still july) FIGHT MEME

What else needs to be said? Release your inner warrior and partake in some epic (or hilariously bad) battles! Do you use a sword? Are you a martial arts master? Are you a wizard? Can you even fight?

It doesn't matter if you're just having a friendly spar or deciding the fate of the universe. You're suddenly filled with the urge to fight the next person you meet. Cut loose and show off your skills!

RULES

◘ Post with your character! List your fighting preferences if you'd like (Sparring, Death Battles, Anything Goes, etc.)
◘ Reply to someone else
◘ ROUND 1...
◘ ... FIGHT!

Here are some prompts to pick from (or RNG from):

1: VERBAL
Not all fights are physical. Maybe you're just really mad and really loud.

2: WUSSY
This is possibly the dumbest limp-wristed flail fight you've ever been involved in.

3: WITS
Because why would you beat someone into the ground when you can humiliate them with your massive intellect instead?

4: PRIZEFIGHT
There's an audience to watch and a prize at stake that only one of you can walk away with. Best bring your A-game.

5: SPARRING
You're fighting to improve. Whether you know your partner or whether you've
just met, you can be pretty sure you're walking away from this one.

6: GRUDGE MATCH
Your hated rival is in town. It's time for a rematch.

7: BAR FIGHT
Welcome to the mother of all drunken brawls.

8: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!
Maybe your opponent is your friend/sibling/love/other cherished person. Maybe
you're a pacifist. Either way, you're in this fight, but you really
don't want to be.

9: TO THE DEATH
This is it. Too much has happened for this to be anything but a fight to the end. Only one of you is walking away from this.

10: OBLIGATORY SMUT OPTION
Hate sex is the best. And some people like smut and some do not.

11: AGAINST THE HORDE
It's you and your ally against many. Demons, zombies, whatever. Rip and tear, until it is done.

12: GODMODE
You and your opponent both have world-breaking superpowers, and frankly everyone would be happier if you weren't fighting. You are, though, and it's awesome, even if there might not be much left when you're done.

13: RANDOM
Your very own personalized scenario.

[4 Prizefight most likely, can be combined with 6 Grudge Match, 10 Obligatory Smut Option, or 9 To The Death.]

Boss fight!

[She's in her element here, really.]

[9 is the most likely ("will not stop, ever" being in effect here), though we could probably also swing 6 or 7.]

[Whoever you are, at some point in the future you apparently join the Resistance that fights against Skynet. While this particular T-800 is currently unable to pursue its primary objective of 'terminate Sarah Connor', it has moved on to taking out other potential Resistance fighters noted in its files.]

[What appears to be a grim-faced man is rapidly closing the distance between the two of you, and his hand slips into his leather jacket, drawing out an AMT .45 longslide. What do you do?]

Cassie is a tricky target to take out. Not that she's hard to find - the machine won't even have to leave Los Angeles. She just happens to spend most of her time on base, surrounded by heavily armed people - some of whom even have weapons that might stand some chance of damaging it.

So it's waited for this opportunity to strike - when she's taking leave at one of her father's spare pads on Venice Beach.

She's still a soldier, though. She didn't get into the Special Forces by being blind to approaching danger. She dives behind a sturdy granite counter before the gun is even fully lifted.

Mind, she's still in quite the bad spot right now.

It's one of those places with floor to ceiling windows, which shatter under the first volley of gunfire -- that granite counter chips a little, but still provides good cover from the T-800's first attack. Glass crunches under its heavy boots as it gets closer, and it speaks,

"Cassandra Cage. You will not join the Resistance."

It approaches without a care for stealth, gun up and ready for if and when she flees from it.

It isn't like Cassie to take something like this lying down, figuratively or literally. She's already worked out what kind of gun it's carrying, and knows how many shots it has before it needs to reload.

At the rigit moment she surges into the air as her body erupts in a flash of green light. Then, at the top of her arc, her body glows with light again, and with a gust of wind she changes direction, hurtling boot-first at the cyborg's chest.

Against a mere mortal the Shadow Kick can break bones, or even punch a hole through flesh. She's expecting that. No doubt the Terminator is expecting a kick that wouldn't so much as knock it back. They're both about to be surprised.
