Aprile - INJUSTICE THY NAME IS SKULLO

Description: What justice flaps in the night, watches you as you shower, as you eat, AS YOU WALK TO YOUR CAR IN THE MORNING!? None other than SKULLOMANIA, HERE TO SAVE THE DAY WITH ONE HELL OF A DEAL.



Southtown has been taking care of itself as usual. It's almost been like normal. Almost. There happens to be a few unsavory characters lurking about, and one of them has been going around, beating up the various Schoolkids. A few have managed to come out on top. A few... but for the most part, this nurse just goes here and there, and can't really keep it a secret for much longer. So she doesn't try.

A few unsuspecting folks in Southtown, on this very day, get uprooted and taken to the large clearing.. the outskirts, a large forested area near a highway. And where else, but there, is a better place to take them for a moment. They just need to get them to transfer a bit of funds over .. really, there's nothing important about it, and the doll feels she.... is helping entirely. She doesn't know how to say 'no', To Master Vega.. nor does she care to.

Currently on a communicator, decked out in blue clothing, a blue sweater like cloth much like Cammy has, red arm guards and a hat.. she also has a backpack and a medkit for whatever reason. "Alriiiiight! So now you're all going to make willing donations, okay?" She smiles as she mentions this. "SO none of you are going to be hurt! We just want nine- tenths of your money! It's not that bad because it's going to be for a REALLY good cause!"

Nah, they'll die.

"So hurry up now.. someone tell me their bank number and social security.. right in this radio, okay? Make sure you reallly pronunciate, and don't lie!" She giggles a bit. "Because WE'LL KNOW! Okay?" Tilting her head, the nurse holds it out. JUST ANOTHER DAY.

A young blonde grits her teeth, trying to pull away from the phone. "No! NO! Where have all the good men /gone/?!" She fights back sobs, trying to stay away from Aprile.

A brunette next to her shrinks back into the crowd of people having been gathered. "Where are all the guards?!"

A large fat man next to her sighs. "Yea." There's a large pause as the entire group looks inward at the large man. "Uh, I mean, where's a streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?!" He squeaks out, looking towards Aprile.

And so is summoned the white knight. On his white stead. And by white I mean old japanese guy. And by knight I mean who is a guy in spandex. And by stead I mean a '99 Geo Prism. The latter white still stands. The Geo squeals over the grass, throwing divots and dirt everywhere. It hits a small patch of grass, ramping beyond the laws of physics into the air. The chipping paint gleams in the sun as it's terrible engine sputters through the air and crashes into a tree. The tree falls over and the car bursts into flames.

Skullomania steps out of the flames, scarf on fire. He ignores it. "I don't appreciate evil in my town. And by town, I mean world."

"Oh.. look honey, I'll spare you then.. but .. oh no. You're not my type." Aprile comments, winking to her, but then looking to the brunette nearby her. "YOU however...." The fat guy is bothering however. And then they keep asking questions. "What is this supposed to mean? .. It doesn't matter who came to save you .. I serve my Master, and I refuse to back down!" She immediately salutes to the air, the words clear to the radio as well.

And then there is a car. Not any car. A Geo 99', ripping and roaring, and then crashing .. Aprile doesn't know how to react to this. Nor does she know what to say. There's .. a MAN and he's just .. here? And the tree is crashed and the car is on FIRE.

"Oh .. we're not evil! Master isn't evil.. even if you all think he is." Aprile puts both hands on her medkit, grinning, as she slowly walks towards Skullo . "Now.. if you would be so kind mister.. I'm just trying to help Master! And if you get in the way I'll have to hurt you .. so.."

A flame of psycho energy erupts from her, red in color, the doll pointing at Skullomania, the blue outfit accentuating it .. and the chest jiggle, but hers isn't that impressive! "Leave.. Or you'll just join them!... Pretty pleeeeease!" She asks at the end.

Truly, as Skullomania is Japanese, all breast wiggling is like GOLD to him. But that's beyond the point.

The car explodes. The shockwave blows out Skullomania's scarf and he remains standing tall. Luckily, you can't see his eyes. The fire rages behind Skullomania and Skullomania takes another few steps forward. "That was when I act nice. However!" Skullomania sets a foot forward, holding his fist aloft. "I can't let you bully these people about and I'm not going to let your 'Master' do anything to them." Skullo grabs his glove, wiggling it slowly to fit his hand back in. He holds his hands aloft, waggling them high. "I must warn you. I am a master of every martial art of Justice, Goodness, Vigilantism, and Square Dance."

With a stylish flair, Skullo gives a sweeping bow and runs forward. He grabs for a shoulder and an arm to throw a mighty spin on the Doll and move this fight away from the helpless people.

COMBATSYS: Skullomania successfully hits Aprile with Skullo Space.

And that's about when Skullo exclaims .. HE IS SO VERY MASTERY! And perhaps he is right, but Aprile isn't having any of it! "Oh please... you're just some renegade hero.. what good can you do?" Aprile asks, smiling.. before he comes forwards and grabs her shoulder alright, the mighty spin causing her to tumble away from the people, landing face down..

Pulling herself up, the doll is anything but amused. "Very... bad idea..." She says, gritting, pulling herself up. "Well I can't fault you for what you want to do~!.. But I can fault you for the reasons, dear.. but these people aren't going anywhere.. because I refuse to fail Master!" She exclaims, brightly.. and then kicks off the ground, attempting to flip onto his HEAD. And then get her legs around his neck.

And then FLIP him into the ground, face first! "HAH!" As she rolls away!

Hm. Legs. You know, it's hard to ignore something like that. But luckily, Skullo has Justice over his libido, so impure thoughts never make Skullo worry. The masked man recovers from his throw with a little dance away, bobbing his hands up and down. "No, I'm afraid I had to do that. Miss, you /will/ let those people ago. And you will let them live. And well, if you need a car, you can have that too, but you have to pay extra for being evil."

Skullomania holds his arms out as he is grabbed. His entire body twists and Skullomania winds carefully with the throw, bracing the ground easily with much practice. Skullomania is just as flexible and moveable. He holds his hands against the ground, holding into the grass. "I'm afraid failure is all evil can choose!" The two white boots come up in the same positioning to grab Aprile by the neck with a deft lunge and a rolling flip of his own.

With Skullo dancing away.. she learns his hits hard. "Oh no.. no no. See if they get away .. then they'll probably seek out my Master and then that just won't do!" She responds to him, smiling. It might be easy to note she's not quite all there, as some has said before.

But as Skullomania twists, bracing with the ground easy enough .. he might not realize the damage to the arms that was meant to cause.. it works as well, and even if he is flexible.. well that comes later. AS the two boots come up, to try and respond in kind.. she kicks back, dolls always being more than slightly mobile, and flips forwards to take advantage of his deft lunge.. grabbing for his legs, red, burning psycho energy from the Master Vega being used to twist, bend, and numb his legs so he can't fight back!

"Then I guess I'll have to expand my options.. okay? Stay still!"

COMBATSYS: Skullomania endures Aprile's Code Azure.

Skullomania      0/-------/=======|======-\-------\0           Aprile


Skullo lands with a flourish, giving a lash of his arms outward in a pose. And then, his legs fall asleep. Well, it's not like falling asleep. It's more like your legs being burned from the inside out and terrible terrible knives stabbing into your flesh until they BURN like ungodly fire dogs chewing on them with teeth made of swords. Flaming swords.

But Skullomania isn't down and out. No no. In fact, he isn't down and out much at all. Really, it makes it very hard to dance away much more, but being RIGHT in that position gives Skullomania something. He is standing right over Aprile. With his fists completely open.

"That really hurts." He starts. "And I don't appreciate it." He captalizes this with a punch to the freaking face. That's RIGHT. Skullomania gives no quarter to evil.

With Skullo's legs seemingly ON FIRE, Aprile continues, almost whistling, the heavy pack on her back and the medkit on her side just not getting much use right now! And as the hero of Southtown pulls himself to his feet.. the doll isn't too worried, smiling up at him.

"Oh? Well good. I wouldn't hope to make it enjoyable!" She responds, picking herself up, the punch sliding across her arm guard, pushed away with some degree of force.. her face, for now, goes un punched. For now! Who knows when a punch could strike her IN THE FACE!?

"Well I'd be sorry .. but I really am not.. you're interfering with Master's plans, so YOU should be sorry!" And with that, she begins to dance around Skullo, swinging about the medkit, leaping here and there, before finally leaping towards him.

And bringing the medkit around. HARD. For his face.

Fair play!

Maybe Skullomania was once attacked by fire dogs with swords for teeth. Skullo is a man of many talents and adventures, and selling the Hell Dorado to Satan while doing a fiddle battle may or may not be part of his resume.

Skullomania bobs and weaves slowly, extremely light on his feet. In fact, he is very light on the balls of his feet. Martial arts?! Hah! High School Gymnastics savant. Screw you, magic hobos. Skullo brings his wrist up towards each of the medkit blows carefully, waiting for his own chance to parry after his attack is so easily done. "Come now. That's not very nice to do! You should be helping the sick!"

BAM, leap attack. Skullomania goes in, grasping at the hand that falls down towards him and twists his body about, placing a hand on the stomach to arc Aprile over his head and onto the ground.

Skullomania      0/-------/=======|=======\-------\1           Aprile


As Skullomania bobs and weaves, Aprile can't seem to land a strike on him! Curse that handsome Skullo! But as he brings a wrist up, preventing the final blow, Aprile leaps back a bit. "Only when Master tells me too! Otherwise..." And then WHAM, something is flying at her.

And Aprile grabs for a hostage..

And is suddenly on her rear, something small, and painful, striking square in her face. "Owwww!" She exclaims, rubbing her face, before standing up. "THAT'S it! I'm just going to get rid of you now!"

Skullomania has thrown... A MENTOS?! Perhaps. He holds his arm outward, palm upward. He then holds his other arm up over his head, palm downward, fingers outstretched.

Chi is an interesting energy. It often requires extensive training to use. Yet there is Skullomania. Skullomania has no sense of Chi, what it is, that is flows through everything, or that he uses it. He simply summons it out of pure damn will. Because he's that damn manly.

"Let go of that person, or you shall regret it." The eyebrow bone of his mask lifts up. "And trust me. You'll regret it. Like a bad egg sandwich with ham on the pit of your stomach, evil will gnaw away at your core where no amount of ginger ale will save you until simply live your life attempting to purge yourself. Perhaps... perhaps with a stick." That gentle glow of AWESOME surrounds him.

COMBATSYS: Skullomania gathers his will.

As the mentos pings off, perhaps striking her in the EYE, Aprile is not happy at all. And then, Skullomania has mentioned for her to let go of the person .. well.. NO!

Aprile holds the fat man up without too much trouble. "I'm not going to regret it!" She exclaims, now just squabbling with Skullo. "I'd regret it more if I let you boss me around! Especially with you not being Master." The doll exclaims, the tie moving with her nods.

And then she bounds off, strait through the forest! Hoppity hop, hoopity hop, look at Peter Cotton tail, on the ... kicking Skullo trail! With the fat man, she closes the distance fast, and then leaps upwards.

"I don't even .. know .. what you're trying to say!" Aprile points out, as the fat guy SWINGS right for Skullo!

Crap. Fat guy coming. Skullomania stands ready, reaching out with his arms and wrestling the fat man away with a flex backwards that sends him right into a tree. His head slams against the tree, making a nasty 'chonk' sound. Skullomania pushes the musical illiterate fat man aside. "Get out!" He demands. Luckily, the people agree and start off. Skullomania places his hands against the tree, flexing his body upward easily.

"I said that evil is a stomach ache and you'll have blockage for the rest of your life if you don't repent." Skullomania slowly rolls his body, pulling himself entirely away from the tree but still holding onto it with his arms back. He then snaps his entire body forward, using the tree to brace for a somersault kick across the chin once Aprile has resigned herself to close quarters. "I! AM THE ENEMA OF JUSTICE!"

Skullomania      2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=======\-------\1           Aprile


And as Skullomania stands ready.. wrestling the fat man away, Aprile is happy, overjoyed even, to see Skullo's head slam STRAIGHT into that tree! As he damns to get out, the people .. DO that. "What? No no NO! STAY!" But she can't finish wrestling before they begin to run, Skullo placing his hands against the tree, flexing his body .. and then EXPLAINING. Such gall. "Oh. Is that it? .. Well I HAVE repented!" The doll explains to Skullomania, giggling a bit. "Why, I made sure to help my Master come back after so long .. now he'll be better soon! And I want to better serve him!" She exclaims, smiling bright as she rolls away, before snapping his entire body forwards. Aprile watches.. and then there's a bright red flash, the medkit swirling about her, a quick spin, the kick slamming across her chin.. and then Skullo being dragged up with her as the energy spirals upwards, Aprile spinning as well.. before the energy ends before Aprile.. and Skullo gets punted, a burst of red psycho energy launching him straight towards the cold, cruel forest earth.

"So don't try and drag me away from what I enjoy!... I'd never go against him! And you'll pay for what you just did here!"

The medkit slams into Skullomania's chest first, engulfing him with energy. It plows him downward into the ground, blue flames engulfing himself briefly before he smashes into the ground. Dirt flies up about, rocks joining the area and a shockwave pressing out from the point of impact, laying down all the grass and even bending over a tree. Bones crush, ribs buckle, joints flex improperly. All a joyous cacophony of pain.

All that is left is a mound of dirt. A crater. Nothing. Perhaps Skullomania disappeared entirely?! But then, there's a steady rumble. The ground shakes. It quivers from free of acting as the grave for such a man. It frees the idea of holding such a man back. Thus, the dirt explodes again. And then... nothing. There is still nothing.

Skullomania bursts out of a nearby tree, foot extended. "DYNAMIC RE-ENTRY."

COMBATSYS: Aprile endures Skullomania's Dangerous Heel.

Skullomania      2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=======\==-----\1           Aprile


As Skullomania is tossed away, Aprile thinks it's over! .. And then Skullomania erupts, the ground shaking, the earth exploding .. AND THEN HE BURSTS OUT OF A NEARBY TREE. "What?don't you give up?" Aprile asks, shaking her head, running at Skullomania as he does this, the hell slamming into her.. but sliding along her body the next moment later, putting him directly in the way for .. a kick.

The doll twists her body, spinning around, and sending that booted foot straight towards Skullomania's arriving body, in an attempt to slam him back, and onto his rear, so that he just falls over and stays dead!

"You're getting on my nerves now!" She exclaims.. "But for master.. I'll do whatever it takes to be rid of you!"

COMBATSYS: Aprile successfully hits Skullomania with Heavy Kick.

Skullomania      2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=======\===----\1           Aprile


The boot connects. Skullomania staggers back onto his butt. A white flash comes from his belt. "There will be no evil as I still breathe." Skullomania sways back up to his feet. He holds both hands up to the sky, letting out a shout.

"I AM THE HERO OF DESTINY!"

There's a loud catapult sound. Skullomania bends down and then leaps up into the air with a sway. A table comes... out of nowhere. Skullomania kicks off of it, using his feet to put it down to the ground and hoist himself higher into the air. Another catapult sound. Skullomania reaches into the air, grasping two plastic cups and throwing them down onto the table.

Skullomania holds his arms inward, doing a little twist in the air. He rebounds off a tree just as a cow comes flying by. He grasps the cow by the utters, doing a short parallel ring manuever to squirt milk down into the cups. The cow moos angrily as it flies into the branches of a tree and Skullomania comes screaming down from the air. He holds both his feet downward, slamming into the table and cracking it right in half. Both cups of fresh Milk fly up and Skullomania grasps both as the table pieces fly up in the air. Slow motion cues in as he pulls both cups to his milk, slowly drinking them both in.

With a satisfied 'ah', Skullomania throws one cup at Aprile, then swings his mighty boot about to slam one of the piece of table at her. Followed by a cup, then his other hand reaches back, slamming the last piece of table at Aprile.

"DOES A BODY GOOD!" Then he collapses.

COMBATSYS: Skullomania can no longer fight.

And for Skullomania's final action, a table arrives out of nowhere, Skullmania hoisting him into the air, and .. there are more things being tossed onto that table. Aprile isn't sure what to think, and as Skullo squirts mi-there's a cow now. Aprile is wondering if she went crazy as the rest occurs, milk, drinking .. and then she knows it's not a dream.

Because suddenly the cups smash into her, then the boot, and then the piece of table. And then more table. There's nothing she can even THINK of doing, and by the time she realizes 'I should probably stop him', the doll is already FLAT on the ground, laid out.

But then .. she gets up, while Skullomania does not. The medic brushes herself off, taking in a breathe, and swinging the medkit over her shoulder, dragging the fatguy away. Skullo? Skullo's on his own. "At least YOU will help our GLORIOUS Master gain what he achieves, WON'T YOU?" This is grown on her nerves, but she smiles very soon afterwards. "Because I'd oh so love it if you'd do it with little prodding! It'd make the whole thing painless!"

SKULLOMANIA HAS (mostly) SAVED THE DAY.

CURSE THAT SEXY SKULLO.
