Hitman VIII: Codebreaker

Chro · May 27, 2014

Kopekemaster's resurrection scene has been delayed until the next round. Thank you for your patience.

JiMing · May 27, 2014

...I still don't really like how three people came after me.

Is this what Voltex feels like in Mafia?

...I still don't really like how three people came after me.

yes.

Axilus Prime · May 27, 2014

Whoa that was massive and epic. Now I see why it took so long.

Remember, JiMing, no one came after you personally. No one knows who anyone is.

**Voxumo** · May 27, 2014

well sorry blade... didn't know you were phantom

**Magical Girl Mimi** · May 27, 2014

No worries. xP Was still an amusing triangle, and made things all the more fun. =P

**Voxumo** · May 27, 2014

That it did.. and hey at least you got revenge by someone killing me

**Magical Girl Mimi** · May 27, 2014

Yeah; everyone got revenge on the other, thanks to the next person... It's like a rivalry from Pokemon from Diamond and Pearl onward. =P

**Voxumo** · May 27, 2014

Yeah... it is hilarious that my victim killed my killer... I'm not even sure that counts as revenge...

**Edelgard** · May 27, 2014

...I still don't really like how three people came after me.

yes.

Yes... yes it is.

Round Three: Hammer Time
Location: Mildly Defective Corpse Heap

After the fiasco at Vanisher's highrise, Primal, Conjurer, and Charger needed a break from the action. Mimic didn't, but imitated the others. So, for a single day, there was a pause in the battle.
The Shadowed One got tired of waiting. He called up the Recorder and told the weird shriveled scribe what to write.
A few hours later, each of the surviving Dark Hunters received a letter:

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED

TO A QUADRUPLE FIGHT TO THE DEATH

AT THE MILDLY DEFECTIVE CORPSE HEAP

HIGH NOON TOMORROW

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY

P.S. - BRING A SLEDGEHAMMER

The next day arrived, the Dark Hunters set out for the Mildly Defective Corpse Heap, and the Shadowed One smiled; everything was ready.
Conjurer reached into a subspace portal and pulled out a sledgehammer.
Mimic imitated him, retrieving the same weapon from his pack.
Charger also pulled out a sledgehammer, because he enjoyed brute force weapons, and wasn't very original.
Primal, unfortunately, missed the memo. He drew a knife, not a sledgehammer, from his belt. The other three stared at the thin silver blade as they hefted their hammers and an awkward silence fell over the gathering.

The silence was broken by the voice of Gatherer from the pile of bodies on which they stood. "Heeey guysss! I'm not deeeeaaaa-"
Primal stomped on Gatherer's face.
Charger took advantage of the distraction to lunge forwards, swinging his hammer with another mighty roar, straight into Primal's skull. Surprised by the blow, he crumpled to the ground, his knife clutched in his hand.
Mimic and Conjurer, who'd been looking on, decided to act as well. Conjurer walked up behind Charger, who was breathing heavily and staring at Primal's corpse in an animalistic stupor, and swung his sledgehammer like a baseball bat, knocking Charger's head clean off. He grinned, satisfied with his kill, as Mimic - in a totally predictable way - copied Conjurer's action, beheading the golden-armored Hunter with Mimic's own sledgehammer.
Mimic then proceeded to take his imitation a step further, and limply fell over on the ground in the same way as Charger and Conjurer had. Inconveniently, he fell over the corpse of Primal, still holding his knife up in the air. Primal's knife sent straight through the body of Mimic, who (copying the others, perhaps) subsequently perished.

A few hours went by before the Shadowed One became tired of waiting. If there had been a winner, they would've emerged from the Mildly Defective Corpse Heap already. If all his fighters were dead, he was going to have a problem.

Entering the area of the last battle, the Shadowed One was shocked to hear sounds of clashing weapons and grunts of pain. Apparently the "Mildly Defective" label was accurate - the Corpse Heap had returned the last four Dark Hunters to life, and they were fighting with a renewed vigor.

Round Three Summary

(Sort Of) Deaths

Conjurer killed Mimic with a sledgehammer.
Mimic killed Charger with a sledgehammer.
Charger killed Primal with a sledgehammer.
Primal killed Conjurer with a knife.

Because a four way kill would result in there being no winner, all four of the above are revived by the Mildly Defective Corpse Heap.

...

success

i killed someone

Sybre · May 28, 2014

Yeesh, violent! Haha, that was nuts! I fear the worst for our finalists.

**Magical Girl Mimi** · May 28, 2014

That was just as amazing as I'd expected the last round to be. xD

Kopekemaster · May 28, 2014

Conjurer reached into a subspace portal and pulled out a sledgehammer.

<.< >.> Was that a Scott Pilgrim reference right there?

In other news, I CAME BACK TO LIFE. I CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD.

Chro · May 28, 2014

Well no, not directly... he had to conjure up a weapon, and I figured hammerspace was the most convenient. I actually meant hammerspace but messed it up. Leaving it that way regardless.

ShadowVezon · May 28, 2014

shame, i would have loved it if it was

Chro · May 28, 2014

Yeah... sorry.

ShadowVezon · May 28, 2014

meh, it's a reference now, even if you didn't intend it.

Chro · May 28, 2014

Scott Pilgrim is a great series so I'm fine with that.

**Ehksidian** · May 28, 2014

what's a scott pilgrim

ShadowVezon · May 28, 2014

I know, it's amazing. Haven't seen the movie though, gotta do that someday.

EDIT: Scott Pilgrim is an amazing series of 6 books.

Edited May 28, 2014 by The ShadowVezon

Kopekemaster · May 28, 2014

Mwahaha the movie is awesome (though takes some liberties from the books, of which I've only read two).

Getting back on topic....

**Edelgard** · May 28, 2014

Chro got his terms confused between Bionifight and Scott Pilgrim obviously

Chro · May 29, 2014

Clearly I did that

ShadowVezon · May 29, 2014

And Bionifight got the idea from Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Chro · May 29, 2014

If you have not sent in your round four kill, you have six hours as of this post to do so.

**Ehksidian** · May 29, 2014

6 hours remain

Chro · May 29, 2014

I can't say Dawn of the Fourth Day, though, so...

**Ehksidian** · May 29, 2014

not yet at least.

Chro · May 29, 2014

No, like... you know how many days there are before the moon hits the city?

ShadowVezon · May 29, 2014

I don't know, I never played Majora's Mask.

Chro · May 29, 2014

Three.

**Ehksidian** · May 29, 2014

Well, it was a good game.

Chro · May 29, 2014

Undoubtedly.

However...

If you have not sent in your round four kill, you will take no action in this round, as the deadline has passed.

I will begin writing the three-player scene tonight.

Edited May 29, 2014 by ChroXumo

Axilus Prime · May 30, 2014

OH WHAT THE (BLEEP)

The round 3 post happened while I was asleep. The deadline expiry post happened while I was in school.

That's just wonderful.

**Magical Girl Mimi** · May 30, 2014

I have the amusing feeling someone will win simply because Axilus didn't take an action. =P

Chro · May 30, 2014

Nah, his action didn't actually have an effect on the round... you'll see.

And I actually closed the round too early by mistake, so I did accept Ax's kill PM.

**Ehksidian** · May 30, 2014

oh so everyone dies again?

yaaaay

Kopekemaster · June 2, 2014

I think this may be needed:
