iling then got up and turned his head to the city scenery “well, time for more training……or I’ll-“ at that thought he got dressed and went down to the lobby. When he arrived it was more empty than usual but he didn't mind in fact he was kind of greatful. He sat down and turned on his laptop then scrolled through his list of gladiators and stopped at a name that got his attention. He got up and asked the receptionist to send him a message requesting a battle and a few hours later he received a message accepting his challenge. And for the next day he gathered intel.When the day actaully arrived he got out of bed early and went to the location of their battle.As Zephyr turned the corner he looked surprised to see a large warehouse. He thought the battle would be on an open field because that’s what he saw on the maps of the area he was told by the receptionist earlier. “So there are places like this, that are kept secret from the public, a lot of battles must have happened here” he thought to himself. Sure enough when he entered there were signs of battles everywhere from holes in the roof, cracks in the floor and several dents on the walls and supports. It took him several minutes to survey the whole warehouse. Then using the stinger he grabbed the edge of one of the holes in the roof and pulled himself up. He was surprised that the hole didn't get bigger but he was mesmerized by the view he saw, the fields, forests and hills perfectly put together so much that it looks like it came from a painting from one of those famous painters.”I’m loving this dimension more and more, maybe after we defeat the Tesh I’ll come back.” but his thoughts were interrupted with the sound of footsteps coming from the main door and when he looked down he saw the person he spent half a day stalking, Gem, he’s a stick, I’m not joking that he’s thin, he’s really a gray stick figure with a irregularly shaped bag with him. Zephyr jumped down seven feet from his opponent.

“Well that was an entrance” said Gem.
“Nah, I just happened to be on the roof, so shall we start” Zephyr replied while putting on his gloves.
“Sure I’ll start then” Gem said while pulling his sword out then charged at Zephyr.

Leaving him little time to react Zephyr grabbed a steel support with threads from his right hand and with his left he sent seven threads to Gem but with his reaction speed he was able to cut down the threads easily. When Zephyr recovered from the hasty escape he increased the threads to twenty, ten for each hand and started to surround Gem but again with his reflexes Gem was still able to defend himself but not without being cut here and there. Then Gem felt a tug on his sword and saw that multiple threads had encircled his sword and was being pulled. So a tug of war happened for a few moments then Gem noticed that the threads were turning from silver to red and the force of his opponent jumped but then an idea popped in his mind, they struggled for a few more seconds then Gem let go. When Zephyr felt he was able to wrench the sword he felt his plan coming together but when he looked at the sword which was half way between him and Gem, tip pointed at him, hoping to catch it he noticed a thick white glow in the middle of the sword. “Oh S*** I forgot the laser” was what he said before he was blown away through the steel support behind him and easily flew more than half the length of the warehouse. Gem on the other hand had a smirk on his face and approached his sword and removed the threads wrapping his sword, green this time. Gem made his way where his opponent was blown and expected for him to be out for the count but as the dust started to settle he saw a figure upright.

“You’re tougher than I thought” Gem said.
“And you’re not bad” was the reply.
“Up for round two?”
“Let’s be serious this time”

The second after Zephyr said that he pulled out the stinger with his right hand and extended its threads and swiped at Gem who however was able to evade the red threads and started charging at him. Without missing a beat Zephyr swung the stinger back forcing Gem to jump to evade but then Zephyr’s right hand came, threads extended, at Gem who used his sword to propel him further. Then Zephyr sent ten threads at his opponent who then grabbed half and pulled him in the air heading straight for each other. In reaction the threads of his stinger coiled together and sped forward ending with Gem deflecting it with his sword and being sent off course to the left. Taking advantage the threads multiplied and numbered around fifty started encasing Gem, the cocoon getting smaller and smaller but then bright light started to show between the cracks. Then the threads were cut to pieces at amazing speed and next thing he knew it Gem, who was glowing white, aimed his sword at a support behind him and fired the laser making him gain so much speed that Zephyr took a full force right hook and flew to the wall.
“Damn, you’re tough” Gem said as he eyed the silhouette of his opponent standing and without warning a huge amount of gold threads exploded from the dust cloud some anchored in the walls while most came for him so he started to slice and dice but he barely noticed an opening in the sea of threads and out of it came Zephyr at high speed about to punch him but dodged by an inch then using the stinger Zephyr grabbed the support that Gem used and slingshot around it heading straight for Gem, again he dodged it but then Zephyr used the threads as a trampoline and tried to hit Gem again but this time Gem countered with a axe kick sending Zephyr straight down. As Gem was about to rush at his opponent and finish the battle he suddenly felt pressure on his neck, he could see gold threads around it like a noose as he was about to cut it with his sword he felt a tug on his arms and legs because they too were tied with threads then it occurred to him that those punches were too easy to dodge and that that was the time when the threads were planted. He struggled to free himself and just as he could cut the threads the Light Convert wore off so he lost his energy and as he felt the noose get tighter he blacked out.
When Zephyr saw that Gem was knocked out, he immediately let go, caught him and set him down near the door. Then he called the medics and slumped on the wall beside Gem and as exhausted as he was he also blacked out. When he woke up he was in a hospital room and Gem was in the next room. They were released the next day, Zephyr waited in the lobby for Gem and when he saw him he approached him and said

“You are a great fighter” while extending his hand.
“Well, you were tougher than I expected no matter how hard I hit you, you just didn’t stay down” Gem replied while shaking hands.
“Oh yeah, if you’d followed up those hit I wouldn’t have stood a chance…….um I’m getting kind of hungry, d’you know any good places around here?”
“ Yeah I know a good burger joint down the street, we can go there now if you want I’m sure it’s open”
“Sure that’d be great”

After that they spent a few hours in the burger joint swapping stories. For the next few days they would be seen training and you could tell that both eagerly awaited the battles that would come.[/spoiler]

g on the couch watching TV, and was rapidly changing the channel. As he was changing the channels, he suddenly saw and ad, but before he could see it, he changed the channel, so he quickly changed it back, it was an ad for something called wRHG. Gem looked deeply into this, and he hear that it was a fighting competition, gathering the most powerful and skillful fighters from around the world, and it's at stickpage city. Gem thought that he could join this..He has a sword after all. And he can show off his abilities. Gem quickly took his sword and put it in his bag, but before he could leave the house, his mother came came from the kitchen and told him: "Hey, where you going?!" Gem couldn't tell her that he had a sword and going for a fighting competition, so he said: "Uhmm..Just..Going in a school trip.." His mother replied: "No one told me about a school trip?!" He said:'Yeah..They just called yesterday,but..uhh. I forgot." Then she said: "OK. Just don't be late.." He said: "Yeah, yeah. I won't be late." He said goodbye to his mother and left.

In his way, he wanted to say goodbye to Uncle Bob, which is the man who worked in the Oldman's Shop. He entered the door as the bell rang, which woke up Bob who was sleeping. He said: "Uh..Hey there, Gme." Gem replied: "Hey, Bob." He replied: "How's it going, Gem." Gem said: "Yeah..yeah, it's OK." Bob replied: "Well, you don't look too well are you?" He continued: "Is there something on your mind?!" Gem said: "Yeah.." He said: "Then tell me what's wrong." Gem said: "Well, I'm going to somewhere called stickpage city..Yeah." Bob was surprised and said: "Why would you go there??" He said: "Just a competition called wRHG, I want to be in it. That's all." Bob said: "What?! Do you even know what is this competition???" Gem replied: "Yeah, I do. It's a fighting competition..." Bob said: "Then why do you want to be in it?!" "What, you want to get killed or something?!" Gem pulled out his sword out of his bag..and showed it to Bob..Bob said: "Where did you get this?!" Gem: "Can you keep the secret???" Bob looked at Gem..Gem said: "OK, here it is. My grandfather was a warrior." Bob looked sarcasm at Gem, and said: "C'mon. You don't expect that I'll believe this, do you?!" Gem said: "It's the truth I found this sword in a chamber, under my attic." Bob said while reaching the phone: "That's it. I'll call your mom." Gem said while holding Bob's hand: "Wait,wait,wait,wait...Check this out."
While taking the message that his grandfather gave him from his pocket.."Now, I can't fake this handwriting." He showed him the message and Bob finally believed. And said: "But..You can't go to stickpage city, you'll get killed in 5 mins there." Gem replied: "OH, please..I practiced this sword for like a year, do you really think that I'm not gonna be able to use it?" Bob said: "You don't know what's this city is like, there are guns and swords twice as big as yours at every corner. Gem replied: "Well to be honest, I haven't seen a sword bigger than mine, so I guess everyone should fear me." Gem left and continued his way to stickpage city. He walked a far distance to get there, and he finally saw a bridge leading to the city. Gem was crossing the bridge, and when he approached the city, he saw that it's like a normal city. Streets, cars, shops and it wasn't different from any other city. Gem finally entered the city, but he didn't find the wRHG building in front of him, so he had to find a taxi. But first, he wanted to explore the city. So he started looking around, but he wasn't watching his way. Suddenly, he walked in a quiet street, not noticing what could anticipate him. Without a warning, a group of mafia attacked Gem and pushed him to a corner and the leader pointed a gun to his head. Before Gem could do anything, the one with the gun said: "Give me your money!" and before Gem could reply the guy said again: "GIVE IT TO ME!" Gem said: "I don't have any." The terrorist quickly took Gem's bag hardly which caused Gem to fall. The terrorist felt how heavy the bag is and opened it and saw the sword, he looked at Gem and took the sword, but he got shocked by the electric power of the sword and fell down, the rest of the gang helped him to stand again, but he was furious, so he quickly took his gun and pointed it at Gem and he shot the bullet right at Gem's head. But before it was going to kill Gem, a man with a sword, used his sword to reflect the bullet and it shot one of the gang. The rest of them headed towards the man, but he stabbed the first in his stomach, and then jumped over the other two and killed them both, then he quickly ran out of sight. Gem didn't see the man's face, he only saw a shadow like the man was wearing black. Gem was nervous and he took his bag and the sword and ran quickly. Gem started to look for a taxi and he found one, he told him that he wants to go to the wRHG building and the man said: "Ride in."

As Gem entered the taxi, he started to think about what happened to him, and if it was right to come here. The taxi man noticed that Gem was nervous and has a lot going at his mind, so he asked him: "Why do you want to go to the wRHG building?" Gem replied: "It's not of your business." The man said: "Not of my business? It is my business, it was all my business!" Gem said as he's looking to the man: "What you mean?!" The man said: "Do you want to know? You said it's not my business.." Gem said: "But it is." The man said: "OK. As long as you want to know..When I was 20 years old, I joined the wRHG. I had skills and everything. When I first gone there, no one actually wanted to be friends with me or hang out, they were just ignoring me or avoiding me. When I started to fight, my skills started to show. And I was incomparable. I started to blend in, and everyone liked me, but after a while, I noticed that everybody is like..scared of me, of what I can do. And it wasn't long til' I got sad of it and didn't want to fight anymore..I was done killing people, I quit the wRHG." Gem said: "But..Didn't you get money and..glory?!" The man said: "I did. I got it all. But sometimes..It doesn't satisfy you enough.." Gem said: "So, you think I should not fight in there?" The man said: "It's up to you if you want or not, my opinion doesn't matter to you..You have the power. But remember, trust your friends." Gem looked strangely into the man, thinking about his choice. But the taxi has arrived at the building and Gem looked at it, and how huge it was. The man said: "So. Here we are..Is there any where else I can get you, sir?" Gem replied: "No, thanks." as he stepped out of the taxi. Gem slowly entered the building, as he saw a white painted hallway and some couches and strange looking people..He stood there a few moments contemplating the place, as he took a few steps forward to the receptionist. He said: "Hi. I want to apply to the wRHG.." She looked up to him and said: "What's in your bag?!" Gem said: "OH. It's my sword." As he pulled out the sword, the receptionist's face appeared to be shocked, and she said: "Hmm. OK. Fill out this form and here's your room number and your ID.." Gem appeared to be satisfied and not worried anymore. As he filled out his form and headed to his room, he knocked the door, but no one answered, Gem opened the door and saw no one in there. Gem thought that his partner could be still didn't come. Gem laid on his bed thinking about what could happen here, he was tired from the trip, so he fell asleep. After 2 hours, Gem suddenly heard his room door knocking, he woke up and opened the door. He said: "Hello?" When he saw a guy slightly taller than him and has a short white hair, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans with a coat, wearing gloves and carrying a laptop. The guy said: "Hi." back. Gem said: "Soooo. What are you doing at my room?!" The guy replied: "I'm here cause it's my roo

All of you vote this battle or it will be a draw.

Accidentally vote Zephyr, sorry.

Great job on your story Zephyr. A very great explain to the fight. :) Good job man.

THEFORCE: I saw something that I had problems with as well. "Commas man they are your friend, but if you abuse them then they will abuse you as well." Said kingkickass2013, that's another thing. Don't continuously keep saying said and replied when in a part of when a person is talking, its rather annoying to see the words "said" and "replied" all the time.

Tonan: Your supposed to put a space in between a period and a word (EXAMPLE, period space word : . word), the ending was kinda lazily done, I mean after you just beat the shit out of your enemy your all of the sudden best friends. WATS UP WITH DAT? You got my vote.

:S If I didn't say replied and said, then what else? Also I know I have grammar mistakes...Sorry.

Plus, I never abused commas...?

As he was changing the channels, he suddenly saw and ad, but before he could see it, he changed the channel, so he quickly changed it back, it was an ad for something called wRHG.

At this line right here was the first incident I found, The edits are in red and also I had to get rid of one comma since it didn't really belong.

If I am wrong and higher powers known as megawriters come in and tell me this then I apologize for wrong criticism.

OH. I see now. But can't it be forgiven?

Well, first of all, this is what I think:
Zephyr: From what I saw, your story was good, and you used spacing on your writing. Also you seemed to know how to use punctuation.
But even with spacing, your words are sticking to each other like a glue. Use a paragraph

THEFORCE: Well, yours are sticking out much more. But within the concept of story, you put more effort, and your story itself was better.
But still, you need a paragaph.

Now, I will choose THEFORCE. His story is much better, although the story itself almost have no spacing.

You know what's funny, I saw a grammar error on the VERY first word in THEFORCE'S story.

He forgot to finish the word "It" and ended up spelling "t"

I'm pretty sure I wrote it in pastebin..Maybe tonan just didn't highlight it.

thanks for the CnC guys

THEFORCE- whoops sorry i could blame the mouse but it was really me once again sorry and i liked your story better, story wise its much better. It's probably cuz i took writing seriously only now i used to make stories when i was bored but i never actually put it into writing and for some reason i have a habit that makes it hard for me to put pen to paper even when typing i have this habit so i guess i'm really laconic (for people who don't know this word means that a person says/writes only the bare essentials so that one is understood).

kingkickass- lol "ending was lazily done" but i got your vote ??? but anyways thanks and thanks on the spacing thing i thought it looked alright (ohh well you can't please everybody but that's what CnC is for right) and yeah i'm not really good story wise but i guess i'm imaginative in the battle cuz i play a ton of violent games.

Triss- thanks i thought i didn't use the puctuations too well (i've alwayd had a problem with them that sometimes a story becomes just one sentence and yeah id better improve on my spacing.

Avalon-it's fine THEFORCE is leading anyways so no sweat.

And guys you can just call me ton.

well at least it entertained you guys somehow and well that's the main reason i don't write a lot (and when i do it's usually in a private notebook) since i don't have a clue on how to write feelings and i hope i can learn it here.

a lot to learn then

Quote from Hewitt

i'd just like to say that me and a friend had fun doing dramatic readings of your stories last night because both of them are fucking terrible.

Here's my cnc: both of you basically lack substance, and a hatred for the carriage return. The difference is, ton's run-ons are description-laden while THEFORCE's run-ons are dialogue-laden. I seriously couldn't read both walls of texts without getting an aneurysm. There's no emotion, proofreading, or sense that went into both stories. And the crazy part is THEFORCE is actually the worse offender. Why the fuck is he winning?

Yes its all coming together now, I see now how this is played READ BELOW WHAT HEWITT SAID.

Quote from Hewitt

Guys stop talking about voting based on preference. At least comment on the story and say WHY it's better instead of circlejerking each other on who's improved and who's better because they are. CNC-ing on fights in a story...whether helpful or not is a good indicator that whoever voted for you, did so because they actually found it better, and not because they're your brother or friend or some shit.

I find it retarded that whoever battles Lethal will instantly get a -1 against you just because a speechless sibling can't be bothered to read a couple of words and make an actual judgement. It is as retarded as a pissing contest of popularity, that determines a result we are already aware of. There is no rule against this but it is frowned upon and seen as bad form. Count your points and your blessings. But those mean nothing when you're talking about skill or the improvement thereof.

YES I am coming close to the secret on how to win this game....... (joking there is no secret but it appears popularity dominates over actual story writing (with the one exception of a really short story vs a really long story))

WOW this sounds very stupid and I am going to shut up now.
