Iron Fic 3-9: Action!

Summer is not a time for talking. Summer blockbusters are always hard-bitten, balls to the wall action packed explosion fests. So why have all of my challenges thus far been more talk than fight? It's a mystery.

No longer. Your challenge and you will accept it, is to write a action scene. This includes but is not limited to: duels, jousts, tournaments, brawls, shoot-outs, wars, mage-duels, training sessions, ambushes, sieges, ship-to-ship combat, planetary bombardments, mecha fights, aerial dogfighting, jailbreaks, dungeon encounters, virtual reality combat, heists, chase scenes and so on.

There are a few corollaries to this challenge. First, the action scene does have to be the centerpiece of the story. You can and should have some set and and denouement, but most of the text should be action. Second, be careful about how you describe the action. Points will be taken off if the action is unclear, or if the judges can't tell who is doing what (unless that's the point, try and make clear if this is the case).

Lastly, make it awesome. Explosions, frikkin' laser beams, physics defying, world shaking, soul crushing and cackle inducing awesomeness is what this challenge is all about. Be creative! Remember that it doesn't have to be combat, as long as there's action to it.

The challenge is set!

Due to unforseen circumstances, I'm requesting an Hour Extension. Though I will accept a Half Hour.

This was fun to write. Didn't do a good job but I like I said in my latest entry: Someone gotta be the last. :sisi:

Fandom: Warcraft.

I didn't bother to check grammar and spelling as I won't win anyway. :p It was still fun. I hope I'll do better than last time though.

Edit: Bah, was late as well. <_< Sorry about that.
Aiming for 47/100 this time. Got 46/100 last time.

Edit2: Got 39/100. Failed to reach my goal but it was no big loss. It just shows that I need more practise.

Lemme know if you want me to delete the entry.

Cornuthaum: 84
Herdo: 43 (38 for being late)
TES: 61 (56 for being late)


What is the difference between Cornuthaum and TES? I'll admit its likely because I'm biased. I actually know what Warhammer is and just why the characters were fighting each other. I have never once read Interview that TES based his fic on nor have I read Black Lagoon (which I learned the fic to be crossed over during my second read through).

More Hijacking going on

Herdo: 45 (50) + 38 (43) = 83 (93) / 2 = 41.5 (46.5)
Ero sennin: 84 (89) + 56 (61) = 140 (150)/2 = 70 (75)
Cornuthaum: 88 +84 = 172 /2 = 86

Corn Wins
