Sorry that it took so long to write this, but I had a few big things during the summer and then I forgot about the story while I was unwinding. I hope the following battle is entertaining enough to make up for the long delay.

Megagurius vs. Orga

The landscape was ashen, with rubble and half-decayed buildings strewn everywhere. The sky was full of orange, red, and yellow, and smoke rose from some large rocky mountains. They weren't volcanoes, but they were still intimidating.

The giant dragonfly Megagurius found herself perched on a cliff. Across the destroyed wasteland was a large bizarre bipedal monster. It was Orga, an alien creation (or perhaps the alien in a new form), and he was armed with large hands and a shoulder cannon above his right arm. He definitely had the advantage in bulk, but Megagurius was far faster, and could deliver hit-and-run attacks with her stinger tail. If Orga fired a blast at her, she could transform it into her own beam, fired via her stinger.

Megagurius began to flap her majestic wings and lifted off. She immediately zeroed in on Orga's head, planning to stab it with her tail. But her blow was deflected by one of the alien's massive hands. She screeched and in no time at all was making another run for her enemy's head. Orga saw her in his peripheral vision and tried to duck. He was a tad late and a tiny cut was sliced along the back.

Orga prepared for the next strike, which indeed came. He swatted at the massive dragonfly and hit air. Megagurius had avoided his counter-attack, but at least she hadn't made contact with her stinger. Orga charged up his shoulder cannon and let loose. The beam was fired too slowly and Megagurius easily evaded him once again.

For the next few minutes the battle continued to yield no definite results. Orga fired his shoulder cannon and swatted away, never hitting his foe. However, Megagurius herself could never get in close enough to do any serious damage. She decided on the risky course of letting the beam get close enough for absorption.

She nearly hit Orga in the head again and saw him charge up his beam. The cannon fired off and Megagurius barely dodged it. In a few seconds she had the desired energy ready in her tail and she flew a few flaps backwards, still facing her extraterrestrial enemy. She fired her blast and hit Orga. The large monstrosity was surprised to see his opponent counter with her own energy blast and he stumbled to his knees, a burn mark on his left shoulder.

Megagurius swooped in for the kill. Orga was downer, and now she could drain his energy wither powerful tail. But she came in with too much confidence and self-assurance. Orga swiped at her and connected, sending her crashing through the decrepit remains of a skyscraper.

The large dragonfly was lucky that it was not a laser blast which had hit her. She could dodge them easily, but if hit by one, she was hit hard. She crawled a little bit and then took to the air again, going back to the cliff that she had started on. She screeched a challenge to Orga, who replied with his beam. Megagurius lifted off as the cliff crumbled from the beam's impact.

Absorbing some energy, she fired off her tail canon again, hitting Orga in the body and causing him to slide back a little. The two then repeated their earlier form of battling dodging each other and missing with their ranged attacks. More indecisive results. This fight was going on forever.

Orga grabbed a chunk of earth with his right hand and charged up his cannon. He had a new plan which he hoped would bring this battle to the end (with him as the victor, of course). He threw the earth and Megagurius instinctively dodged…right into the path of his laser beam. Megagurius almost lit up in flames and shrieked in pain as she spiraled to the ground, sending up walls of ashes on impact.

Orga plodded towards his downed insectoid foe. He could hit her with his shoulder cannon, but he wanted to rip her apart with his bare hands in return for all the misses he had. It was a bad idea. Once he was close enough, Megagurius lashed out with her stinger, sticking it into the lumbering alien's foot.

Orga howled as some of his energy seeped into the monster dragonfly and rejuvenated her. He brought down his large hands, but Megagurius hopped out of the way, managing to keep her tail latched to his foot. Orga went for her again and this time she disconnected, leaving a bloodied foot.

The dragonfly queen prepared to put almost all her energy into one awesome blast. Orga could sense what she was up to and knew that with his hurt foot it would be impossible to avoid the imminent attack. He charged up his shoulder cannon. This moment would see which monster won.

Megagurius' stinger began to thrum and glow. Yellow energy swirled in Orga's cannon. If Megagurius got her blast off first, she would win. If Orga did, he would knock his now fiercely hated foe out of the sky and then finish her off at range.

Both beams seemed to go off simultaneously. Would the beams collide? As it turned out, Orga had managed to get his beam off first. Megagurius was hurled back, and her own ranged laser turned up into the sky instead of down at Orga. Once again she was down on the ground.

Orga immediately fired several blasts at her, rejoicing in her unearthly shrieks as her body was blasted apart. In minutes Orga stood triumphant and let out a roar of victory. In the viewing center, some of the aliens complained about the battle.

"What a long bore. It's like watching a movie about me spending an hour trying to sway down a fly."

"You may be disappointed again," said the organizer of the tournament. "We may have a similar battle."
