Aladuf and Flunkie rushed past Bond; they would leave him for The Professor to handle. It meant they got to cut their teeth on these two would-be heroes.

“How do you want this to go?” Aladuf shouted over to Fox and Swan.

“It would be nice if you handcuffed yourself now and saved us the trouble, but you are going to be one of those headstrong types who decide it is best to get beat before you give in.” Swan responded back.

“Ha! You really think you have a chance against me? Just bring it!”

Swan and Fox charged towards Aladuf but stopped short when they realized his partner had disappeared. “I know I wasn’t seeing double; there was two of them.” Swan informed Fox.

“I’m pretty sure you are correct, let’s keep our guard up.” They slowly started to approach Aladuf this time when Fox realized something iffy nearby. He pointed over to their left, and Swan now saw what he was talking about. There were footprints moving in the sand, whoever this character was did not think his plan all the way through.

Fox quickly extended his left arm around the area of interest and repeatedly beat in the person with his right arm into the wall. Soon, the sand depressed to look like a human being.

“Your friend wasn’t too bright. How easy will you fall?” Swan asked Aladuf.

“Don’t worry about me; I can more than handle myself.” Now that they had taken care of their little problem, Swan and Fox made for Aladuf again. When they were in striking distance; they attacked high and low. Swan wrapped himself around Aladuf’s legs while Fox delivered a devastating double axe to the top of his head.

The blow barely staggered Aladuf who simply ripped Swan off of his legs and tossed him across the beach. He then turned to Fox who he took in his bare hands and started to rip in half before Fox got away.

“What the hell are you?” Fox asked as he pulled himself back together.

“I told you I could handle myself!” Aladuf grinned. Swan raced back to Fox’s side a bit shaken.

“So that went well!”

“You don’t say!” Fox yelled.

“Hey, I’m not yelling at you, and HE’S the bad guy!”

“The special?” Fox asked more calmly now.

“It’s worth a shot!” Swan once again turned himself into a ball. This time though he created three unique holes which Fox grabbed him by. Taking a bowler’s stance, Fox hurled Swan along the sand and when Swan was underneath Aladuf he grabbed his legs and tripped him up as he went by.

Or so he hoped, Aladuf grabbed him half way through and hurled him high into the air. When Swan was coming back down to the ground, he could see that Aladuf had pulled out a chainsaw and looked to try something nasty. Swan thinking of only his survival moved his midsection as he slid down the chainsaw.

He wrapped himself around Aladuf’s hand to force him to drop the chainsaw but to no avail. Aladuf removed Swan violently off his arm and went to toss him against a rock wall, but Fox was able to catch his friend by creating a giant baseball glove.

“Is that the best you two got?”

“To be honest with you, I’m out of ideas.” Swan still stunned from the toss.

“Do you want to surrender now or should I kill you?”

“At this point, we are going to do sometime today so if you WANT to try, be our guest.”

Aladuf now charged the two men when a voice echoed across the beach “Hold it!” It was Bond limping his way over to the fight scene.

“I see The Professor has failed. No worries, I shall right his wrong.”

Bond pulled his sniper rifle out of the sand, “Not so fast!”

“Hahaha! The Professor has told me all about you, and the one thing he drilled into our heads time and time again is Bond doesn’t kill!”

Bond nodded his head in agreement. “The Professor taught you well, but I’m sure he mentioned I’m a helluva shot.”

Before Aladuf had a chance to respond, a shot ripped through the air so suddenly that no one saw it before it made contact.

Aladuf with his mouth open ready to respond fell instantly to the floor. “What have you done? I can’t feel my legs!” He attempted to stand, but it was to no avail.

“You can live through a lot!” Bond winked at Aladuf. “Is that everyone?”

The three men felt themselves lifted off the ground. “Almost everyone!”

The chapter is FINALLY over.
Now how do folks feel about the longer chapter?
I was gonna try and fit everything else into 7 chapters so it ends on a nice 25 chapter note.

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Where did that chainsaw come from?

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

So Bond shot Aladuf in the spine?

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Where all magical weapons come from in games... out of no where.
He carries it with him because he feels so little pain its easy for him to get in close.

I guess.
I was under the assumption he shot a nerve ending.

How he does it... I will explain soon(ish).

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Dude.....you made Fox finger Swan.......

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

And apparently, its not the first time they've done it.

But just a head's up, gonna take a mini-break. Maybe a day or two or more. I really need to focus on my grad school app.

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Dude...................

wtf

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Okay I was confused as to which part this is referring to though I have an idea.

But before I assume, can you inform me.

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Really.....

:crazy:

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

I assume its the fingering comment, but I can't be sure.
And Swan started it, look at him!

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Well in any event I was not laughing.

I say Swan started it, you elevated it.

Re: TavernTales 18: Elemental, My Dear
 

Yes and no, I was responding to the comment with a legit answer.

In the context of the story, the way they made it sound and the fact it is named the special.. means they have tried the move before... which is what I was trying to get across...

It also continued the joke.
