    Howdy y'all, and welcome to the first semi-final of the VFX:R! We've got an amazing fight for you tonight, but it's not really showtime yet, so we've decided to give you folks there at home a little sneak-peak of tonight combatants! My dear co-host, Natascha Korinivsumthin, is on her way to the fighters locker rooms as we speak.

    God forbid it turns out like last time...

    Yes, well, we don't speak about that anymore Zeke. Not when Natascha can hear us, anyway.

    Beg pardon, rev.

    You're pardoned, son. Now! Natascha, can you hear me?

    Da, I can! I am in front of locker room now, ready to begin! I knock-knock on door?

    Yes please.

    Knock-knock!

    (Feel free to get interviewed. The fight starts on Monday.)

    (No interviews? Boring. Anyway, let's get this party started!)

    People of the universe! I say:

    AAARE YOUUU READYYY?

    Howdy, folks, and welcome to the VFX semi-finals! We're just about to start, so hold on tight and get ready for the ride of your life!


    We ride horsey-horses tonight?

    No, Natascha, we won't.

    But you said-

    Just no. Now, rev, do go on.

    Our fighters are reknown already from their glorious first battles, but they deserve a proper presentation anyway, so clap your hands and raise your voices for the woe of all ghostbusters: Jerald! And give me your amens and sing out your hallelujahs for the sparkling princess from beyond, Princess Sparkle!

    Now, for todays arena! Our fighters will be fighting at the site of:
    THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

    [​IMG]
    This enormous wonder of a statue was given to the USA by the people of France as an icon of freedom and independance. Fitting, then, that today it's going to be demolished in an orgy of violence and destruction as our two combatants wage bloody war upon each other and the innocent bystanders! We've picked a great day, too; the President of the United States himself is there to give some sort of speech and shake some hands, and, well, let's just say that he's got some secret service agents with him as well. Gosh, will he be surprised when he sees our TV-choppers circle the building!

    And, with that, it's time to see some serious action! Get ready for a fight that will change your lives! Combatants, brace yourselves! Now LET! THERE! BE! BLOOD!

    BEGIN!


    (You have until next Monday. Have fun :) )

    The black portal appeared just at the base of the Statue of Liberty, emerging from the portal was a female dressed in a pink gown who had the brightest smile on her face. Surprised at how much more beautiful this new location was compared to the last she let out a great big squeal as he danced around the general area. Bouncing up and down on the lawn she was ecstatic about the skilled engineers who must of slaved over the designs for such a statue. Prancing around she began to pick the flowers that blossomed in the garden thanks to her presence. Humming to herself the tourists stopped and began taking pictures of the strange girl in the garden, not sure whether she was part of the attraction or just a random beauty they were indeed enthralled nonetheless.

    The camera shifts to the statue interior, a bunch of tourists climbing the stairs, ready to take their turn at the crown. A man in a blue jumpsuit shoves his way past them, grinding his heavy toolbox on the handrail. He makes his way to the service ladder, climbing all the way up to the torch. With the final step of his ascent, the toolbox drops to the ground, his expression a blank smile beneath glazed eyes. The smile widens to show clenched teeth as the man slowly rises his arms, rests them at the base of the flame. The lights within spark to life, going into overdrive, reflecting in the empty eyes. He gasps as the rogue spirit releases the hold on his body, pupils instantly contracting, and is consumed by the light.

    Without a slightest warning, the torch arm was shattered in a great white fireball, dropping a rain of burning metal and wreckage over where the princess was dancing.

    A nearby security guard with a bad case of glazed eyes drops his radio, jumps to dodge a white-hot support beam and goes for his gun, looking for the princess.

    Princess Sparkle was oblivious to her surroundings then suddenly debris and wreckage fell from the sky. She looked up as the wreckage came closer to her, stunned by the sight she could not move, she could only whisper a single word.

    "Bubbles?"

    With that a bust of rainbow shone from the middle of the falling wreckage, out of the rainbow Bubbles galloped gallantly through the air and dodged the debris to reach Princess Sparkle. Thrusting her onto his back with his beautiful horn he managed to clear the princess from the area and placed her on top of the statue's crown.

    "Thank you Bubbles!"

    Princess Sparkle hugged her trusty steed and best friend in the whole wide world.

    "It was a bit strange that the statue just decided to do that."

    Bubbles shook his head rigorously in denial. Snorting as if trying to tell her something. He flew down to ground level where his super rainbow powers allowed him to sense auras. He saw an dark aura around a particular security guard and began to charge towards him. He had the guard all lined up, ready to impale him from behind with his large horn when suddenly Bubbles burst into rainbows and was no longer present. His time had run out on this plane for the moment.

    The guard rolled to dodge the charging beast, only to find out it disappeared before reaching him. He looked slowly up the statue, finding the princess at the very top. Instantly he fell to his knees, hands brushing hard concrete, something letting go of his mind.

    The picture flashed between scenes of general chaos and confusion inside and around the statue, some pretty hardcore massacre where the debris fell, eventually reaching the area where the president was.

    "Well Lord Allmighty...! Is it hard to keep track of this guy!"

    The secret service agents scrambled to bring the president to safety, most of them running to form a living shield around him, leading him to the armored limo. One of the support vans stopped its engine, the driver exiting via the side door. He took a large ballistic case from the car, setting it down on the ground nearby. Inside the case was a anti-matériel rifle, ready for some action.

    "Ah, a .50 sniper rifle, perfect for shooting through light armor and engine blocks!"
    "Just how overkill is that for sniping a little girl?"
    "Plenty."

    Leaning on the van, temporarily unnoticed by the rest of the Secret Service agents, the possessed driver took aim at the princes and started shooting big fat bullets.

    The first shot missed, only grazing the princess' hair, punching a hole through the back of the statues' head.
    "Bubbles !"

    The rainbow unicorn appeared just in time to catch the second shot, a large chunk of its back exploding into confetti guts.

    "Naaaaaaayyyyyyy!"
    "Noo, stop hurting him !"

    The poor beast lept to catch each bullet aimed at the princess, the last one exploding its head like a piñata. A rainbow trail followed the severed horn as it fell down to the plaza in front of the statue, embedding itself in the concrete.

    "NO NO NOOOooo!"
    "Waaaaahhh! Noooo!"
    "Head shot!"
    "...right."

    A dozen rainbows shot from behind princess' back, aimed at the possessed driver. The rays were darker somehow, shadowy, painting them dark red around the princess. The phantom figure of Jerald escaped the driver's body just before the rainbow hit him, turning him instantly gay. And exploding his head.

    "Looks like he's done it, the princess is once again displaying her dark side."
    "Clearly it was his strategy from the beginning, despite being more dangerous, she is also more vulnerable this way..."

    Musashi's voice faded into generic background commentary as Jerald lept from person to person, trying to escape the rainbow tentacles chasing him. He went through the secret service staff reaching the president's driver. A blindingly white star cut the driver's compartment in half, causing the rear end to bounce and tumble into the water. There was a red glow surrounding the top of the statue by now. Dark, rainbow colored tentacles hovered around over the island, crushing people at random. Musashi's commentary faded back it.

    "...And we should be able to track him with the Ghost-Cam that was just now flown to the set, after being fitted with thermo-optic camouflage, not to give away his position to the opponent."

    The camera flew once around the island, showing the extent of the damage, flying by the president, who was swimming to shore on his own, eventually ascending back up to the crown, entering it through one of the broken windows. Some pink-white, digital static scrambled the screen as the pod flew too close to one of the tentacles. The outline of Jerald faded out the floor, behind the princess, at the back of the room, the swirling rainbow portal between them.

    "Where is he? COME OUT! YOU WILL PAY...! Bubbles...! Bubbles, where are you?"

    The princess kept crying Bubbles' name to no effect, as Jerald hovered closer. He stretched his right hand, aiming at the princess, and the limb shot right into her neck, stretching itself with an audible pop. Without even aligning themselves, Jerald's other limbs popped onto the princess' back, broken at the knees and elbows, looking like a grotesque variant of the rubber man. The rest of his torso blurred out of shape and pulled closer to the stunned girl, eventually merging with her body. As he assimilated her, the surrounding rainbows and stars turned into a disco light show from hell, causing damage to the surrounding city and leveling the statue beyond the protective shell around the princess.

    Without any warning, all the rainbows, stars and other anomalies disappeared into sparkly fairy dust, silencing the pandemonium. Falling rubble and distant sirens echoed in the unexpected calm, as the princess slowly hovered down to a clearing on the plaza, surrounded by rubble and splattered rainbow blood. She took a few steps forward, looked around a bit and became stiff paralyzed again. Jerald's figure stepped out of her body, as if he was stepping out of a door and turned around to face her. He was translucent, but visible now, gesturing to the stunned girl to look behind her. Bewildered, she turned around, and was instantly impaled on Bubbles' horn, by the president himself. Straight through the heart.

    "I've had it! Enough with these fights! Why do you people have to drag me into this!? Cant you..."

    He kept yelling as he stabbed the princess with the horn, blood spraying over his wet, bruised face.

    Jerald stood there, looking down at his dead opponent being massacred, slowly fading out. He disappeared completely by the time the president dropped the horn and started laughing.
