Gambler vs ElusiveStorm

Elusive made his way through the halls, he has never been this angry in his life. He didnt even need to kill anyone on his way in, hell he's "Elusive".

"Come out sweet prince!"

For reasons known only to him, ElusiveStorm has made his way onto the sacred ground of the Hellfire Club to confront Gambler. It is a mistake he wont live to regret.

Hearing the voice of a man Gambler believed was dead, he made his way to the top of the steps and looked down upon a ghost.

"Hahahaha, tis to good to be true. You are a fool to come here alone."

Gambler started to make his way down the stairs. Removing his red and gold smoking jacket as he did. Then, in one quick motion, he pulled one of many historical swords of the wall, and flipped over the side of the railing landing in front of ES. He spun around in a 180 slashing at ES's mid-section.

Elusive jumped backwards, the blade barely missed as it made a small cut on Elusive, he reached for his sword but smiled and didnt take it out. He wanted to see if Gambler, The great kinetic master could handle Elusive's own kinetic fury. His hand started to quickly glow purple and the kinetic blast ripped from out of his hand towards Gambler.

"How do you like dem apples!"

Gambler had no time to react, the blast exploded against his body shaking the very foundation of the Hellfire Club. The crafty Cajun was hurled backwards threw the wall and into the kitchen. He lay there motionless for a minute, covered in debris, his body still smoking from the blast. He slowly began to pull himself up to his feet,

"Thats it kid, show Gambler what you got" he thought to himself.

Then using his telekinesis, he picked up a massive part of the collapsed wall and hurled it ES. As the wall flew towards the intruder, Gambler took off in a sprint, closely behind, two long kitchen knifes in each hand, preparing for ES to dodge the wall.

ES saw the knives, he knew that he was finished either way, this was it. Elusive suddenly drew out his black meteor blade with his left hand and blasted the wall to bits with another kinetic blast but it was too close to Elusive, he was struck by one of the peices of debris, it didnt knock him down but blood started to flow from his head, he started to become dizzy and the blood was blinding his vision.

Without hesitation, or mercy, Gambler attacked. Without breaking stride, he slashed at the front of ES's throat before rolling into a somersault behind ES and slashing at the back of his neck. If executed, the move would decapitate the former Arcryn Outrider.

The pain across ES's throat was unimaginable, he luckily avoided the second attack somehow, but he dropped to the gound. Blood was pouring our of neck and mouth,his hands were shaky as they reached for something inside his coat, he pulled out a litte toy just incase, a grenade if he was only human, he could have never done this. With what life he had left in him, he charged the grenade wit kinetic energy and pulled the pin. The last expression on Elusive's dying face was a smile as his hands dropped and is glowing orange eyes faded.

The cocky Cajun looked down on the dying Arcryn and laughed.

"Here he is, fool who thought he could kill...."

But the leader of the Hellfire Club didn't finish, his sinister grin soon fled his face as he watched the grenade roll out of ES's hand.

"SONNOVA!!"

Half the Hellfire Mansion erupted into flames. Pieces of furniture and debris where sent everywhere. The roof began to cave in and the walls crumbled. Outside, a dirt trail, as deep as it was wide, led away from the collapsed Mansion. At the end of the trail, Gambler's bloody and broken body lay. His right arm barely still attached to his body hung uselessly to the side. There was no movement but then, a small cough followed by a grin crept across Gambler's face,

"You.....aint......got what.....what......what it takes."

Vertigo approached Gambler, he was surprized that Gambler had survived that explosion. Vertigo smiled, he knew ElusiveStorm wouldpull off something like that in the end.

"Well you finally beat him, i guess killing a brother is easier than you think"

Vertigo started to laugh at Gambler, "oh the bitter-sweet victory, that arm of your doesnt look too good, well dont worry i called an ambulance."

Vertigo took something out of his pocket, it was a small card with the name "Joseph Vertigo" written on it along with a phone number. "Hey if you ever need help someday, just phone the number"

Vertigo turned and walked away, he knew with ElusiveStorm gone, a new era of the comicvine universe would start.

Sipping a coffe and fooling around with a Kunai Knife, Ryoga watched the two fighting giggling in amusement.
