OOC: time for more..
Spider was fading...and he had only managed to graze Malice a couple of times since the first strike. That damned crossbreed was just too fast!
I should have done this sooner! Spider thought, cursing himself. I should have led him away from the village!
While none of the bystanders had gotten hurt...the crowd kept Spider from using all of his abilities in this form, abilities that may have enabled him to had knocked out Malice by now.
Then a stroke of luck: Malice failed to see a rock and he tripped over it, falling flat on his face.
Yes! Spider thought wiht glee as he drew back a hand to throw a bolt at him. But just then, just that blasted then...the power went and Spider toppled over.
"NO!" Spider screeched as he tried to stand up and call back his powers. But he had no energy left and the powers will be gone for 12 hours at least. Malice...was alreadly back up on his handfeet and laughing.
"Out of juice Spider?" Malice laughed as he approached him, slow and menacing, "Too bad." Malice stopped right in front Spider, who just managed to prop himself on his elbows. "You had me going there Spider...and made me wonder if I can do that fancy thing with electricy(sp) too..."
"You...will never learn to do it..." Spider said, panting heavily, "Only...the pure of heart can...something you will never be..."
Malcie snorted and lifted Spider's head up with a handfoot.
"Well see..." Malice said right in Spider's face, cold and menacing, "I will find a way...but until then...you are finished....you lost..."
Malice backed up a couple of paces and smiled at him.
"If yer goin' to kill me...get it over with..." Spider said breathlessly, defeated.
Malice grinned, then suddenly he turned sharply and struck Spider in the head with his tail. Spider, too weak to deflect or dodge the blow, received the full blunt of it. To the those observing the scene...it seemed to go in slow motion: Spider was flipped over onto his back the the seer momentum of the blow, he slightly bounced once, then lay still, unconscious. The once great and powerful protector of Pyke, had fallen...
Malice roared with laughter, enjoying his great victory. But his celebration was cut short by the sound of guns cocking and a large squad of sligs encircled him, guns down and pointed at him.
"Oh f*ck..." Malice growled, cursing himself as he looked for a way out...but there was none...
Err...Teal I hope you have a copy of that bit you wrote a while ago. I know I have it...but its on me email (I think...I'll check SRFR to see if we posted it there...) and I can't get to that until Mon...*sigh* Otherwise we are stuck until I get back...
