It's time for round two of the oc battles. First, two questions that i have been asked must be answered. It is a fight to the death, no exceptions. One of the fighters will die. The other question asked if I was sharing OCs with me quazzy. Yes, this battles pair were given to me quazzy, but as he is away, I am doing this battle. It is a joint endeavour and in the future we may use each others OCs in a tournament of such, but we have not finalised anything. I have decided to edit the battles slightly, and rather than just give a list of statistics I am going to say them Death Battle style, in a paragraph explaining about them. If you prefer the list, just tell me. Also, if you enjoyed my first story, check out my profile asap as i have two petitions for people to sign, one to see how many of you want a GreatHeart series and another to find out who would like Facade to return. Go there just now or after you've read this as it is imperative that i get all your opinions quickly. Anyway, next battle.
This battle has two very different species go head to head, as you will soon see. The first contestant is Umbra Dusk, a male unicorn. His coat is a dark grey, he has a black and red striped mane and tail and his eyes are a dark purple. His cutie mark is an interesting one: it consists of a black five pointed star over a grey shield two swords and a cross with mist behind the shield.
He does now have feelings for , in fact, he is a silent pony who keeps to himself, and travels to different places to live.
His strengths are stealth and fighting with his hooves, but he also excels in black magic. However, due to an enormous use of black magic he has developed a second personality, this one cruel and sadistic, which comes out when he is under pressure or if he sees blood.
He was an orphan that lived out side the crystal kingdom he was rejected by other pony's for being different that why he doesn't cares for other pony's, and he was trained by the shadow of King Sombra when he was a colt, which is how he got his cutie mark, by becoming a shadow knight. Also, due to his two personalitys he gets chased from places a lot.
For equipment he has a black chestplate and cape, and has two knives hidden in the armour to whip out at a moments notice.
His endurance, speed, intelligence and willpower are all about average for anypony, but he is weaker in strength and does not have as good a defense as the average pony. He makes up for this with more skill than average and high magical power.
He much prefers using magic from a distance to take down a foe but will get up close and personal if need be.
Facing this powerful opponent is a male gryphon named Night Fire, who also keeps to himself, but unlike Umbra, is a great guy once you get to know him. He is nocturnal by nature, but might still be caught angering during the day. He rarely loses his temper, is an amazing problem solver, and can adapt to a situation very quickly. He is also extremely hard to frighten.
He has a night-based colour, mainly a midnight blue but with black wings, and is always kitted out for battle, with gauntlets on his forelegs, bracers on his back legs, and a chest plate with his insignia, which is a tribal-style carries a chain scythe which he calls the 'Black Abyss', and is slightly larger than your average gryphon.
He does not have feelings for anypony, and as he is a gryphon has no cutie mark.
Despite his size he is fast, and combined with his stealthiness and adaptiveness he is an incredible foe, but he dies have a few key weaknesses.
As he is nocturnal, extremely bright light hurts his eyes, and his chest plate is shaped like a skull, which leaves gaps which some weapons could slip through. Despite all his equipment, he has little experience in actual combat, and the heavy armour slows him down a bit, countering his speed.
He works as a blacksmith and lives near an abandoned- and allegedly haunted- iron mine in the mountains near Ponyville. He has also taught himself how to wield many bladed weapons.
His equipment is his armour and trusty scythe, the Black Abyss.
His endurance, intelligence and defense is above average, but due to his armour it makes him slower than the average pony, and he is less skilled and not as good at flying that average. He has about average strength and willpower. He is more one for defending himself that being aggressive, but with the scythe he is still a deadly warrior.
Now we have the contestants lined up, its time for an OC battle!
Night Fire wandered through the abandoned iron mine near his home, looking at the old tools and wondering if there was any ore left that he could use. As he turned a corner he bumped into a unicorn, who was knocked over into an old minecart. Jumping back, shocked but not scared, Night watched as the unicorn, who he recognised as Umbra Dusk, got up.
"Watch where your going!" Night said.
"Speak for yourself" Umbra grumbled, then he noticed a cut where he had bashed against the cart, and blood seeped out from it. He shook his head and a cold smile came over his face.
"I believe you were leaving?" he said, his voice colder and harsher. Night Fire noticed this.
"What's up with you? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm great, a random gryphon juts knocked me over into a rusty old minecart and might have given me tetanus, I'm just wonderful."
"No need to be sarcastic" Night said.
"Turn around" Umbra said.
"Uh, okay" Night said, turning, "is there something you were wanting me to see?"
"Yes, it's right there on the wall, don't you see it?" Umbra said, sliding a knife out of his armour.
"No I don't. Wait a second-"
"It's your blood!" Umbra cried as he leapt forward with the knife, aiming for Nights back. Night turned at the last second, making the knife bounce off the armour. Umbra noticed the design and smiled. He leapt back suddenly as Night pulled a large scythe on a chain out and spun it around.
"I don't know why you came here, but you will pay for attacking me!"
"Oh really, how much?" came the sadistic reply. Umbra fired a spell at Night, who raised a hoof, letting it hit his armour. It made him take a step back. Umbra fired more, some hitting his leg and a couple hitting him on his chest plate, knocking him backwards. He leapt up and rushed at Umbra, spinning his scythe. He swung it at his foe, making Umbra leap out of the way a second before it would have taken his head off.
Seeing an opening, he fired a spell at Nights side, which his his armour and knocked him into a wall. Night got up and grabbed Umbra, shoving him against the same wall he had been knocked against.
"Get out, or I will kill you." he threw Umbra to the ground, then lifted his claw, threatening to step on him. Umbra fired a spell which hit his claw, sending him back howling in pain as blood dripped from it. Umbra fired spell after spell, getting annoyed that this novice of fighting had been close to finishing him off. Night was pushed back, before the spun his scythe around quickly, which deflected the spell, making them hit the walls and ceiling, sending cracks through it.
"That's not going to hold" Night said worried.
"Then I'll just have to finish you off quickly!"" Umbra said cruelly.
"I don't think so" Night swiped at him with his scythe again and again, Umbra dodging each one, before he caught Umbra's horn, cutting part off. Umbra screamed as his main weapon was dismembered. He tried to use a spell but couldn't. He looked up as Night slammed him into the wall again, holding his scythe up high, ready to finish him off.
As he began to swing Umbra slipped a hoof into his armour and whipped out his other knife, which he rammed through the right eyehole on Nights skull chestplate, piercing his opponents heart. He twisted it and ripped it out, leaping to the side before Night Fire even realised that he had been stabbed. He put his claw to his chest and pitched over dead onto his own scythed, which cut him in two. Umbra looked up as the roof collapsed, and he teleported away, running out of the mine as the entire mine caved in. He sat down heavily, the turned and smiled as the rocks settled over Night Fire's tomb.
Umbra Dusk wins. Why? Night fire had the upper hand in defense, and in strength, which proved useful when he managed to pin his opponent. However, umbra was no fool, and used every opening possible to damage Night Fire. In the end it was Night fires inexperience which lost him the match, as he turned his back on his opponent right at the start, and his armour had those opening that were perfect for Umbra's knife to slip through.
