Welcome back everyone. Just thought I'd have Gard's fight with Donalbain done before I take a Christmas break. Enjoy, review and Merry Christmas.
Clash of Steel
As Gard stepped into the forest, he saw Donalbain waiting beneath a dead tree. A fitting place for one such as him to wait!
"So you've come to be buried."
Gard merely shook his head. "To take you back alive."
A smile, crueler than possible appeared on the face of the white-skinned mockery of Evabon. "Well, one of us will be going back alive."
Donalbain drew his sword, made in the image of the Sword of Plundarr as much as his armor had been in the image of the Armor of Plundarr, and attacked. Quickly, Gard drew his own sword and his axe to fight and soon enough steel clashed. Donlabian's strength, his speed it was all unnatural! He was stronger, faster! Gard wasn't sure if he'd be able to win!
There must have been someway to defeat Donalbain! His Mumm-Ra given strength and speed made him a formidable opponent yet his physical abilities must have had a weakness…
His helmet! Donalbain's helmet, while bearing a strange likeness to the helmet on the Armor of Plundarr, had a small space leaving the eyes and a bit of the face exposed. That was Gard's chance!
Falling on his back, Gard watched as Donalbain knelt down to look the Old Savage in the eye. Cruelty in his eyes and his smile, there was nothing but cruelty of a demon from the stars in this Evabon.
"When all is over, Mumm-Ra will name me his sole second-in-command! Never more will I have to share it!"
Donalbain stood up and it is at that moment that Gard thrust his sword into the space exposing Donalbain's face. Donalbain would survive given Mumm-Ra's power but this would give Gard the chance he needed!
Let out a monstrous howl, Donalbain dropped his sword and backed away. Quickly, Gard leapt to his chance and placed his enemy in a hold that would leave his larger opponent unable to get out.
"An bhfuil tu a thabhairt suas?" asked Gard. Properly translated this meant "Do you surrender?"
"Never!"
"Hard way it is then." Gard broke Donalbain's neck. He'd probably be doing a lot of that.
