Topic: EverCrest vs The Monstrous Manual: The Final Battle

The arena is quieter than a tomb. The audience is gone. The lights hum as they shine upon the empty ring. A feeling of tension hangs in the air.

Suddenly, the faint sounds of feet scraping against the floor are heard. A tall fellow with a bad haircut wearing a tuxedo and holding a microphone walks onto the ring, his head bowed solemnly. Hanging on either of his arms are an elf and human female, clad in black chainmail bikinis for mourning.

The man lifts up the mic, takes a breath, and speaks, his voice echoing off of the empty arena.

Karnaj: Ladies and gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart that I announce this to be, the final battle.

His face suddenly brightens and he announces enthusiastically.

Karnaj: And it is with great, great pleasure that I present to you...

EVERCREST vs [color=red]THE MONSTROUS MANUAL
This time...it's personal.

Karnaj: With this being the last battle of ECvsMM, we are proud to announce that this will be one of the best fights ever. With only the greatest of combatants present here today.

Karnaj turns towards the traditional corner in which the EverCresters emerge from. He inhales and announces proudly.

Karnaj: They've all come together for this battle. The dorks have joined hands with the furries. The sex fiends have grouped together with the grammar Nazis. The techno-geeks have strung with the arguers. Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the combatants for the EC side is...

THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF EVERCREST!

There is a low rumble that quickly grows louder, soon becoming mingled with the sounds of many voices. Deep and high, bass and falsetto, whiny and content.

A mass gathering of elves, furries, dwarves, humans, and all sorts of other creatures come walking towards the ring, clad for combat and wearing expressions of grim determination upon their faces.

Drysart: If we win one fight, let it be this!

Ja`Deth: Ask not what your message board can do for you, ask what you can do for your message board!

Bane: They can take our lives! But they'll never take...OUR DORKINESS!

The gathering stops and fans out around the ring, hooting and cheering for themselves. Karnaj smiles at them proudly and turns towards the Monstrous Manual corner, gesturing as he speaks.

Karnaj: He's risen from his years-long slumber just to be here. He's the perfect killing machine. He takes no prisoners, offers no quarter, and takes no shit. Please welcome...

THE TARRASQUE!

The sound of great feet slamming upon the ground reaches the ears of the gathered EverCresters. They stop momentarily as a defeaning roar echoes throughout the ring, shaking its very foundations.

Slowly, the great beast emerges into the arena. Standing taller than a castle, measuring longer than three longboats, and weighing more than a small mountain, is the Tarrasque.

Its thick, golden, spiked carapace glitters under the lights. Its horns gleam wickedly, thirsting to be put to use. Its great, powerful muscles twitch and flex and its tail lashes about behind it. Slowly, it closes its great black eyes, and opens its huge mouth in a terrible roar, revealing rows upon rows of sharp teeth, ready to tear anything apart.

Karnaj assumes a dire expression and resumes speaking.

Karnaj: The EverCresters have opted to assemble in groups to fight the great monster. We'll return with the first round of combat, after these messages...

Wizards, can we rally our powers together to defeat this foe? Let's start gathering and getting ready to cast one large, powerful spell on it. It should help our fellow Evercresters best this beast.

Ozimander streas solemly at the huge beast and opens up his 2nd Edition Monsterous Manual

'Aha...Ooze/Slime/Pudding....Lycanthrope, Sea-Wolf......Zombie-Whoosp, went too far...Ah-hah! TARRASQUE! Let's see...okay..okay.....mmmhmm....oh! I remember that.....yea....okay....oooh. Okay!'

Ozimander walsk into the ring and looks at everyone with a solem face, holding the book close to himself, as if it were an acient tome

'Ladies and Gentleman....'

Drops the book and burts out laughing, almost falling out due to the fits of laughter! As the laughter dies down, wiping a tear from his eye, he reaches into his robes and pulls out a small silver flask, still chuckling

'Ehehe....heheh....what a day to stop drinking'

Sucks down some of the fluid from the flask

'And what a day to stop sniffing glue!'

Takes old an old bottle of Elmer's Original Glue and sniffs a bit of it, his eyes opening wide

'And what a day to stop taking Morphine'

Takes out an eyebropper of Liquid Morphine, more powerful then normal Morphine and rather dangerous. He drops some on his tongue

'Right, with that out of the way' clutching his staff 'I just wanna say we're fucked. Go get laid, go do whatever ya always wanted to do now, cause this bastard is gunna tear us to shreds. Well..you anyhow'

Ozimander walks up to Karnaj

'Um, excuse me Mr. Karnaj, can I get a transfer to the Monsterous Manual team please?'

Ryu walks in, dressed in a charcoal gray business suit. She's yelling into her cellphone as she joins the rest of the people.

"What do you mean 'you can't make it'? Bast damn it, you're my HENCHMEN! You're supposed to help with this kinda shit, rembmer?"

.......

"Day off my ASS! I don't care WHAT your union says, get over here and die in my place! Hello? Hello?!? Ah, shit."

With a look of disgust, Ryu throws the cellphone away. She opens her briefcase, and pulls out a large magic wand.

"Well, I guess it's time to use my vaugely defined powers in direct combat at last. With any luck, I can make sure it eats enough of these people that it gets full and leaves me alone."

I find that most problems can be solved by excessive violence.
