Chapter 52: Battle of Lukas' Lovers! Stacy VS Dan.

"Ironic, isn't it? that you have such a large hand in your own destruction." Stacy continues "last night, you were horrible to us, not just Stampy, but me as well, we conspired against you together, we planned out your death, we were doing it, we were betraying you, killing you, ending your life regardless of whether you were guilty or not, I was expecting to regret it..." her face slowly spreads into a thin, wicked smile "but I found myself enjoying it, for the most part anyway, sure, watching you get fucked by Lukas was dull and unpleasant, and the drama with Lizzie was just sad, but the fire, oh my god, the fire..." her smile widens as she thinks back "Dan... I, relished lighting the room up before you, setting it all to flame, watching you stand there, horrified, with nowhere to run, we taunted you, closed the doors on you, set the doors alight, and walked away laughing, singing about it the whole way into the woods, I thought I had killed you, Dan, we both know you survived now, but at the time, I honestly thought that I, personally, had just murdered you in cold blood, and it felt gooooood, and the best part, by far, was all the LOVE between me and Stampy when it was done, it turns out that spending his time hating you or spending it loving me was a false choice that I mistakenly assumed Stampy would have to make any time both options were present, but he's actually perfectly capable of doing both simultaneously, provided I'm willing to partake in it, we hated you and loved each other so passionately earlier, as hating you with me is also an act of loving me, thank you for opening my eyes, Dan, we had such a good time earlier, so good in fact, that I crave and demand more of it, so, heh-heh, I'm GLAD you survived the burning of the mansion, this just gives me a chance to kill you, all, over, again."

Whoooooooooooo...! Silence, except for the strengthening wind.

"You're..." Dan breathes, awed "you're so... so..."

"So what?" Stacy snickers "Stampy got your tongue?"

Dan narrows his eyes, getting over his awe and reassuming battle position, his gaze solid, determined, and unwavering, "You're so..." he finishes "...evil."

"Evil?" Stacy giggles "really?"

"Yes." Dan nods "I won't regret what I do to you now."

"Wait-wait, I must know..." Stacy loves this "do you think this makes you good, then? if I'm evil? big, brave, heroic Dan? the man who abandons his friends, and jerks off to girls getting raped?"

Dan flinches a little bit, but stands firm, "No, I do not believe this makes me good..." he shakes his head "it just means you're not the moral person I thought you were."

"Morals?" Stacy scoffs "since when have they ever done anything but hold me back? if I was a moral person, I'd be dead right now, silly! I'm about survival, I'm about... winning."

"You are truly sick." Dan sneers in disgust "I did some things I'm not proud of, a lot of things I regret, but as bad as I may be, I know you're worse."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, so be it, Danny-boy, if you want to try to be goody-goody Diamond Minecart, go right ahead, myself on the other hand, I agree with the age-old famous statement..." Stacy grins wide "...it's good to be bad."

"Enough talk!" Dan shouts, putting away one sword, pulling out a health potion, and downing it in one, massive, super-fast gulp "let's fight."

Dan's armor remains damaged, but his torso wounds heal.

"Ah! that's cheating...!" Stacy whines condescendingly "is wittle hero Dan to afwade of big bad Stacy to fight without wittle advantages?"

"How do I know you don't have one?" Dan snarls, taking out his other sword again.

"If you must know, I gave my last one to Petra." Stacy answers truthfully.

"WHAT!?" Dan gapes.

BOOM! thunder sounds as it begins raining around them.

"True story." Stacy nods.

"Why!?" Dan demands.

"Long story, come on, forget about it, you said you wanted to fight, remember!?" Stacy jeers, advancing forward and swinging her blade at Dan.

Clang!-dang!-bap!-cling!-skreet!-bang!-scrape! Stacy and Dan fence, the two were equally matched so far, neither landing a hit.

Dan has the advantages of full health and two weapons to direct.

Stacy has the advantages of better skill and a much more powerful weapon, which she can maneuver much more precisely than if she had two.

Skring!-crash!-clink!-"You can't win, Minecart!" Stacy claims as they battle in the rain "combat and adventure is my world, I might not be the best builder, or the best engineer, or the best brewer, enchanter, economist, etcetera, I'm good with animals and crops but I'm probably not the best farmer either, but I am the best at anything that relies mainly on physical ability, I can run, climb, swim, jump, and of course, fight!"

Scrap!-dink!-"Maybe you can manage for a while, but sooner or later you need to give in from exhaustion and blood loss!" Dan retorts, backing away to put distance between them "how's the leg feeling!?"

"I've got a spring in my step as long as I'm slaying you!" Stacy chimes, prancing forward to engage him.

"Hmrph!" Dan grunts as he ducks to the side and trips her good leg out from under her.

"Whoooaaa-!"-SPLASH! Stacy falls face-forward into a puddle of mud.

"Pah! you're pathetic...!" Dan snarls, raising both his swords high in order to bring them chopping down upon her.

Swoosh-splash! Dan's blades narrowly miss Stacy, who rolls aside, and splash into the mud, sinking deep into the ground.

"You idiot!" Stacy cackles as she rises to her feet, her face is covered in dark mud but her eyes are bright with glee "this is TOO EASY!"

"Urgh! come on!" Dan tries to tug his swords out of the ground, but the mud's suction effect make them rise slowly and resentfully.

Zip-RIIIIIIP! Stacy eagerly takes the chance to slide around to behind Dan, slip her sword in through the collar of his leather chestplate, and use the leveraged position to cut a line straight down the middle of the armor piece, tearing the back of the chestplate wide open. Also, such an act demands the tip of her sword run up along Dan's spine, it does so, ripping open his skin in a similar fashion to the chestplate.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Dan bellows in agony "GET, AWAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!" he finally pulls his two swords out of the mud and whips around to face her, but she's already backed off and moved a safe distance away, ironically obeying his order.

"See? told'ja." Stacy smirks "wittle Danny-boy can't win."

Dan heaves long, fearful breaths, he feels the leather chestplate slacking on his shoulders now that the back was torn open, he could already tell it's become a liability that could get in his way if it slips off onto his arms.

"FfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffUUUCK!" Dan rages, grabbing the chestplate and stripping it off, tossing it aside onto some wet grass "you won that struggle, but not the battle! with or without my chestplate, I'll make it out of here, I have to, I, NEED, TO!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, 'destiny', we know." Stacy mocks "delusions of fate and dreams of being special."

"We'll see who's standing at the end." Dan just doesn't give up, "YARRRGH!" he charges.

Clang-bash-BAM! Stacy deflects one sword, then the next, and then kicks Dan in his soft, exposed stomach, with her hurt leg.

"UGH...!" Dan instantly loses his breath and goes tumbling backwards.

"Here it comes...!" Stacy cheers as she takes after him, limping heavily.

SWOOSH-CLANG! Dan uses both his swords to block her attack, this impact was unusually loud.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-"WHOO! keep them right there!"-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang! Stacy takes the opportunity to rapidly grind her sword back and forth over both of Dan's while he's too out of breath and weak to react quickly, the effect is massive, rapid damage to all three weapons, but his at a far faster rate than her's.

"EEP!" Dan pulls his swords away, looking at them in horror, both blades were very near to the end of their lives now "god damn it...!"

"It looks to me like it's YOU who might last a little longer, but has to give in before long." Stacy chuckles.

Dan forces himself to calm down, and takes a long, deep breath, "If I must kill you with one of the next few attacks, then so be it."

All that panicking and time spent in fear he's done over the course of the story has really helped him build a bit of an immunity to such stressful situations.

"Then come, and give me your very best." Stacy invites, cockily throwing her arms out.

Pt-pt-pt-pt-pt-pt-"YAH!" Dan engages her once more.

Clang-skrink-bink! Stacy specifically targets his swords instead of Dan himself.

"Ugh...!" Dan tries to adjust for this new issue, he was used to using the swords to protect his body, but now he suddenly has to protect both.

Twirrrl-SMASH! Stacy spins in a circle to build up momentum before slamming her powerful blade against her opponent's fragile pair, shattering them at last.

"No...!" Dan's jaw drops as bits of stone fall to his feet, leaving his hands with useless handles.

"Oh! look at that." Stacy giggles "I completely owned you, who would've guessed?"

"STAY AW-" Dan starts, holding out a warning hand and trying to step back.

SLICE! Stacy gleefully cuts across his palm.

"AHHHHHH!" Dan pulls his hand close, curling it up and attempting to stop the bleeding.

Slick-whoosh-swissc-zut-swice-zwap! Stacy sadistically makes six long, deep gorges across Dan's chest and sides.

"AAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIUUUUUURRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Dan wails at the stormy heavens, his body in torment as his blood flows out all over himself and runs to the muddy ground.

Thud. Dan falls to his knees, becoming light-headed from blood loss and trauma.

Donk. Stacy tugs off his helmet and tosses it aside.

SLASH! Stacy finishes her assault with a long uppercut across the left side of Dan's face, specifically done to mimic what he did to Stampy, this blow sends large droplets of blood spraying up into the air in a horrible (glorious to Stacy) shower, while much of the stuff leaks down from her blade and onto her hands.

"Ha-ha-ha!" Stacy laughs as she watch's Dan's blood rain, quickly wiping aside a large lock of her soaking wet hair so she can observe it better "HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAA!"

She had done it, she won.

Dan feels himself growing faint, he hadn't done it, he'd... lost.

Total Votes: 2.

Total Voters: 1.

The voter expected Stacy and Dan to be equally matched, but it's a sad reality for Minecart. Even with his wounds healed he was no match for the sadistic assault of Evil-Stacy, unhampered by neither her own empathy or having to try to coordinate with Stampy. She slaughtered Dan like she did his pig, meaning the correct prediction was: STACY WINS.
