• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Gevaisa vs DarkAura

Alright, you're pretty low on energy. Since you're going to get attacked either way, Chill for a bit. That Goomy's looking awfully defensive. Maybe a good Chip Away will get right into that gooey center. Do that twice, though if Goomy tries to Rest, use Wake-Up Slap immediately afterwards.

Between the horseplay and the irreverent napping, it's become fairly clear that Stark has no idea how to treat a lady. Your mother would have sat him down for etiquette lessons by now. Probably with an axe.
Anyhow, let's take away the horseplay and the irreverent napping both at the same time, and see what he does. Use Infestation to surround him with bugs. Being bitten constantly should make it hard to relax. They'll also impede his movement, them and the layers and layers of slime he's covered in, which leads into the next part. Use Double Team to move away from Stark, as far as you can and still be within range of your Dragon Pulse. Leave behind as many clones as you can make. Lastly, use Dragon Pulse.

Still infuriated, Kiyoko debated with herself how best to get even with Stark. Toxic biohazardous sludge wouldn't do this time, she decided. Nor would dragon beams or fire or anything else she'd applied thus far. No, it was time to call upon the forces of nature. Fueling her rage with a look back at Stark- whom, she noted, was trying to go to sleep on her AGAIN- she closed her eyes and focused, a faint buzz starting to rise from the grass. His eye opened cautiously as it grew louder, just in time to see creepy-crawlies of all description, thousands of them, scuttling and flying out of the grass and swarming all over his body. Screaming inwardly, he thrashed and swatted to rid himself of them, horrified to discover that they regrouped faster than he could get rid of them, and they were starting to bite. Oh god the biting.

Satisfied with his torture, Kiyoko breathed a calming sigh. That was enough hitting back for now, so what better way to blow off her remaining steam than a nice run? She employed unnaturally great speed as she jetted across the arena, zig-zagging back and forth while edging away from Stark. Through the swarm of bugs covering his vision sweet christ they're in his eyes!, he saw her reduce to a blur of motion, and when she ground to a halt the blur persisted, three identical Goomy trailing behind her.

Climbing to his feet, Stark swatted at flies as he advanced towards her, flinching and stumbling in grossed-out horror as the cloud of bugs followed his every laboured, quivering step. With tremendous effort he crossed the extra yards of space Kiyoko had put between them, lifting his plank and driving it down into her with a grunt. He whittled away at her with a flurry of strikes, beating through her protective layers of slime and striking at her ferociously with a fierce cry. It was then that he realised he'd missed the mark, his plank sailing right through the clone he'd been assaulting and causing it to blink out of existence. He sighed weakly in frustration, sinking exhausted to his knees and submitting to the bitey, bitey retribution of her insect slaves.

Kiyoko felt the need to punish his mistake personally, a screech punching through the deafening buzz of a million freaking bugs oh god oh god ahhh, followed by a blinding flash of blue that blasted Stark, scattering some of the bugs infesting his body. Seizing the opportunity to move comparatively freely, Stark eased himself to his feet as quickly as he could and slammed his plank into the first shape he could see. A wail of pain told him he'd hit his mark, and he began beating a path through the slime little by little until he unveiled a bare, unarmoured patch of skin. Twirling his plank in his hand, he struck the chink in her armour as hard as he could muster and swatted her away across the field, vanquishing her clones and reducing them to the ether. He enjoyed mere seconds of victorious gloating before a THOUSAND MILLION BILLION INSECT JAWS dug into his flesh again, sending him rolling and flailing on the ground with a pathetic squeal.

Referee's notes
~ Chill's effectiveness was reduced to a third, since Stark couldn't relax with goddamn bugs all over him oh god
~ both Chip Aways had their energy cost raised by a point since Stark had to fight off the bugs before executing them.
~ Double Team didn't manage to take Kiyoko very far from Stark. I interpret it more as a "randomly running around all over the place making a big blur of movement" kind of action, rather than "run in a particular kind of direction namely away from suchandsuch", so not really ideal for covering ground. Regardless Stark couldn't get to her easily over what ground she did cover, due to being impeded by bugs, so the intended effect wasn't totally lost.

Let's get some more decoys running around, first of all. After that, the swarm should have dispersed, so refresh it. After that, if your decoys are gone already, use Double Team again. Otherwise, use Dragon Pulse.
