The Insane Space Hunter starts up his Quest of Insanity and heads up out of the water... and flies a few thousand miles out of the atmosphere. Mumbling something about auto-nitros being a bit TOO random, he sets about going back to the MDb world- And nearly crashes into another vessel. "State who you are please, and why you are here," requested a voice from the vessel. Shrugging to himself, The Insane Bounty Hunter turns on the intercom. "I'm The Insane Bounty Hunter, and I happened to end up here because my engines thought that the nitro had to be used because the variable of m, which is computed by the previous rate of-" "Stop with the technical info. I only want to know why you came here" "Well sir, my ship is equipped with auto-nitro, and since m happened to be smaller than a random number that was-" Starting to sound annoyed, the other ship cuts him off again. "I don't care about any random numbers! I want to know what you are doing here! I'm Outerverse, and I don't have a particularly long temper." The Insane Bounty Hunter sighs. "Forget it. I'm heading back to the MDb world anyways." "Not before telling me why you're out here." The Insane Space Hunter considers that question, then tells his computer, "Raise bid of Outerverse wanting to kill me to 2,000." Then, turning back to the intercom, he says, "I said already I'm here because my auto-nitro thought I-" Cutting him off yet again, Outerverse responds quickly and obviously angry, "DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE YOU TELL ME?" The computer suddenly beeps, and 4 red poker chips pop out of it towards The Insane Space Hunter responds to Outerverse. "Not really, but you won't let me say anything anyways." There was a few seconds pause, then the tell-tale sound of a guy falling down a staircase, signaling that Outerverse had ended the conversation. Then, without warning, Outerverse somehow appeared onto The Insane Space Hunter's ship. "Well, that's ONE way to skip an entry fee." Sword already out and ready to fight, Outerverse doesn't bother to respond with words. Instead, he charges towards The Insane Space Hunter with sword ready. Dodging the downward-slash to his head, The Insane Space Hunter jumps to Outerverse's right, the one spot he can't hit, and fires at him with his beam cannon. Taking a bit of damage, Outerverse leaps back, and readies himself for another attack, when suddenly The Insane Space Hunter turns an odd shade of yellow. Wondering what he is doing, Outerverse watches him for a second, when a barrage of missiles fly at him. Responding with his Triple slash, Outerverse manages to wipe the missiles out with two slashes and hit The Insane Space Hunter with a third, severing his beam cannon. And the dummy explodes, knocking Outerverse back into a wall. Looking around and seeing no sign of him, Outerverse heads to the control console to see if he can highjack the ship or something, when he hears something. Looking up, he sees someone in a black and red suit flying downwards towards him, WITHOUT a helmet on. Staring in absolute disbelief at The (truly) Insane Space Hunter, it suddenly occurs to him to dodge, but too late. Both heads colliding, Outerverse falls down, with The Insane Space Hunter ending up to his left, also on the ground. Jumping up to his feet, and having a bad headache, Outerverse faces his opponent, who also has gotten up and faces back at him... with a fully charged beam cannon. Firing the cannon, Outerverse barely dodges the attack, and stares at The insane Space Hunter, ready to resume fighting. "Would you mind just giving me a minute to explain instead of cutting me off every 10 words?" Asked The Insane Space Hunter. Looking forward to a bit of rest after being hit on the head by an insane guy, Outerverse simply responds, "Fine." The Insane Space Hunter sat down at a table into his chair, and Outerverse sat down in the chair opposite of the table. "I think I'll just tell you the whole story, starting when I ran into two people fighting in what was once a forest, which ended up getting reduced to ashes by a missed shot from-" Outerverse, true to his habit, interrupted and said "Just begin the story already" "Oh, fine. I was piloting my ship when I stumble on two people fighting near a forest. They were FireNexus, a crystal with the power of fire, and Wave Man, a pirate robot. I decided to help out Wave Man by telling him the proper stances to use in a fight when you have a blaster cannon, and eventually left. A bit later, when the two were fighting again, Wave Man let out a strong wave of water, that washed my ship into the sea. I aimed it back up to the sun and left, and the ship thought that it was supposed to engage the auto-thrusters since m, which was a variable randomly made, happened to be-" "Skip the technical details please." "Okay! Anyways, the auto-turbo engaged and blew me all the way to outerspace-" "Where you nearly rammed into my ship" "Could you please quit interrupting for just 5 minutes?" Outerverse grins and says "That was 14 words, not 10" "Whatever. So, truce?" "Truce. Next time, skip the technical info." "What-" In midword, Outerverse disappears again somehow, and the other ship fires off, leaving The Insane Space Hunter alone, muttering, "That wasn't even 1 word and he cut me off" |
