You awaken in a cold room, you find a cot beneath you. Your eyes wander around the room and the smell of alcohol wafts into your nose. It's the kind a doctor would use. You glance around trying to figure out where you are and notice your friends around you. You rise to your feet and begin to wander around the room until you notice something bizarre. A pulsating mass of flesh beside it is a name, the name of one who had fallen in the fight. You step away from it and realize you are in some type of medical room. You notice several other fleshy pustules much like that one scattered around the room and the smell is horrific. You back away from them and leave the room.
On the other side of the door is another room. This one appears much like a lounge. And is much brighter. The hooded figure, Kalgante is sitting behind a desk his friends all around him. It is impossible to tell where he's looking. Around the room friends are interacting with creators and friends alike. The room is more quiet than it aught to be however as everyone waits for the next match. You can't help but notice some grieving over their losses. Perhaps you were one of them. You take a seat in the corner of the room and watch a clock in silence. Your friends gather around you as the anxiety gets to them too.
You suddenly hear the sound of a clock changing hours as it sends an uncomfortable wave of energy through the room. You look over to Kalgante who forms a smile. Suddenly the room begins to swirl with the same shadowy energy you had experienced last time. You notice hands reach from the ceiling as contestants are taken away. You and the others however sing into the floor. It is less unsettling now as this has happened before. Blackness envelopes you and all sound fades out. For the second time the blinding flash of light shines into your eyes and you are sitting over the arena. Something is different this time. Instead of a grassy, stone barrier filled field you see something else. A labyrinth filled with winding hallways and large flora filled rooms. The passage ways have indentations on the sides where water is flowing all over. Your friends appear around you as you stare into this new arena. You wonder what's going to happen next.
The silence however is shattered by the familiar voice of Kalgante sounding all across the arena. You focus and see what he has to say.
Kalgante: "Welcome one and all to the second battle of Deadliest OC's. joining me today are Komei and Twitchy. Now then. Before the battle gets started I have a bit to cover. Now then. You all may be wondering about your fallen friends. I would like to inform you that that battle was not their last. I have many ideas tucked away and need your friends to see them realized. Long story short, I will have them alive and well again to continue to fight for our amusement. There is something they are all working for however. They are going into my records book. Every so often I will reveal the status of your friends, you will know what I mean when it's time. That aside I will always take fresh meat. now then Komei, do you mind explaining this arena to the audience?"
Komei: "Of course of course. Now then, As you all can see the arena is a bit different. Instead of a field of ruins we have a pretty labyrinth of waterways. Just like last time there are no major gimmicks or special rules. That aside, everyone will have to navigate the labyrinth to find their targets."
Kalgante: "Thank you Komei. Now then. Before we go any further I'd like to introduce my friend, the scout from Team Fortress, how are you doing scout"
Scout: "I'm fucking great, why didn't you bring me here before?"
Kalgante: "hey, if you're gonna complain I'll switch you with the heavy… not a bad idea actually…"
Scout: "Fine fine whatever, so then what do we got?"
Twitchy: "You probably could have picked someone else"
Kalgante: "Hey!… enough of that. Now then, tell us what we've got for a lineup"
Twitchy: "Fine fine. For the red team we have the blue haired mix of fox, red panda, and porcupine Ansom. Using his sister's own life force as a weapon in the form of a scythe how will he do. With him is Buffy a blood red bat and timber wolf hybrid. She has been given her fire abilities and ten shots in her P90. Next up is Kalgante's own toxic yellow tiger Needles. Using his knives as well as speed he aims for a close combat fight. Next up is the dark green grizzly bear Manny. For this fight Kalgante wanted to remove the variable of PTSD so for now is cured. He carries with him a fully loaded USP 45. Then we have the well known Cuddles, and in his possession, an aluminum baseball bat. Finally for red team we have Dusk the black furred fruit bat. In his inventory are a bladed desert eagle and a Dragunov SVD.
Komei: "And for the blue team we have Aero the sky blue bear donned in a protective silver bullet proof vest. His weapons are a half loaded desert eagle and a broadsword, not to mention his very own fists. Then there's the dark green porcupine Kurt. He has with him a compound bow and a utility knife. Then there's Jru, a light turquoise ferret wielding a heavy ball and chain. Then there's Longhorn the Texan bull! He's got with him a squad automatic but with only ten shots. Then comes the well known Lumpy the blue moose. We have decided to give him a tazer and a pocket knife. Finally for blue team we have Hunter with a distinctive slipknot mask. He has with him a suppressed MP40 again with only ten shots.
Kalgante: "Wonderful. Now then Scout, what do you make of the teams?"
Scout: "Well this is going to be a mostly close combat fight, especially since they barely have any ammo. I'm thinking Aero might be pretty tough if he's triggered and you've definitely helped the red team by removing the PTSD. I can't freaking wait to see the fast ones in combat. Yea I think this could go either way you've balanced out the weapons by how much power they have so there should be no advantages with guns. I'd have to say Red team has more speed while blue team has more power. Anyway screw talking we have a fight to watch!"
Kalgante: Well, you heard him folks. Now then keep in mind that you may be able to see them down there but there is a barrier over top of the walls so there's no weaseling your way out of the maze. Now then. Let us begin round two of Deadliest OC's!"
The same force that delivered the contestants last time did so again and the teams looked around a bit disoriented. Just like last time the teams are placed on opposite ends of the field and the teams cautiously move forward. This time however there is no real way to keep an eye on each other if they were split up. Red team groups up to formulate a plan as does the blue team.
"Alright, I'll lead one team. Let's see… Buffy and Cuddles, come with me. Needles, you should take Dusk and Ansom" says Manny.
"Damnit, fine we're wasting time. I'll take the right path. You go left" says Needles.
The teams spit up and move out.
"Alright, we treat this like SWAT. Keep your distance from one another yet stay in a close formation. Do that and they can't take us out all at once yet we will have the firepower of a full force" says Longhorn.
The rest of his team agrees and they move out following Longhorn's direction. Needles's group moves forward coming to their first foliage room. The tiger immediately searches for something to use for a trap. He grabs a number of sticks and begins to quickly sharpen them.
"You two. Dig a hole in that entrance. We're going to set up and camp out here" says Needles.
Both of the team members agree, especially Dusk and begin to do as directed. Manny's team presses forward keeping low and slowing down on occasion to concentrate on nearby sounds. The Blue team moves forward as well doing their best to navigate the corridors. They keep in formation with one or two team members covering each path. Blue team decides on taking the right path and move that way. When they reach the end there is another choice of halls and they decide to move forward. They enter a foliage room and peer around cautiously. When they find the area is empty they move forward and out of the room.
Cuddles's large ears pick up the sounds of foot steps and he alerts the team. They move out cautiously towards the sound and notice Longhorn pass by as well as the rest of the team and take cover. After a quick sweep blue team moves down the left passageway then to the right and Manny's team follows. The sounds of footsteps echoes throughout the halls and Manny's team loses sight of Blue team.
In Needles's foliage room everyone has set up. Needles has buried the sharpened sticks under a blanket of leaves as well as himself. With his autumn colored fur he'd be difficult to spot. Ansom took position in one of the waterways near the entrance. He didn't have much for camouflage so hiding was the best he could do. Dusk has hidden himself in a tree and stuck leaves to his rifle using tree sap. Dusks ears perk up as he hears footsteps from down the hall. He focuses on the patterns to reveal either five or six pairs of feet. He readies his rifle and trains it at the entrance. Just as Lumpy passed into the room.
"Lumpy get your ass back here" says longhorn.
"The last room was empty. Who would this one have anyone in it" Lumpy replies.
Lumpy scans the room but sees nothing.
"It's clear" says Lumpy.
Longhorn enters cautiously inspecting the walls and scenery. Before he realizes it however Lumpy steps forward and onto the buried Spikes driving Longhorn and his team backwards as a rifle round passes through the moose's skull. With so many unknowns Longhorn and his team fall back away from the room. Needles jumps up from his hiding spot and attempts to pursue them while Ansom stops him. Dusk hops down from his positioning the tree and approaches the rest of his group.

The blue team continues fleeing while Aero and Hunter cover the rear. Eventually the Blue team stops and regroups counting their loss of Lumpy, realizing that that could have been far worse. Jru and Kurt keep cover on the sides while Longhorn guards the front.
Manny's team moves toward where they think they heard the gunshot keeping quiet. As they move forward however the three come face to face with Blue team. With Cuddles up ahead he beats Jru with more maneuverability and cracks the bat across his head. Manny opens fire on Longhorn who takes a few shots but counters with his own weapon ripping one through the bear's shoulder. Buffy's hands begin to glow with purple flames which she flings at Jru. Igniting him. Jru responds by diving into a waterway as Kurt fires an arrow sticking into cuddles ears which are promptly torn off. Cuddles attempts to ignore the pain as he smashes Kurt in the jaw. Shots are fired from the guns of Longhorn and Aero both striking cuddles. His left arm becomes disabled and he does what he can with his remaining arm. From behind them however a knife strikes Kurt in the ribs. Aero turns to be gored to the ground by a speeding Ansom. Ansom swings his scythe vertically which hunter narrowly avoids. Ansom swings back at him quickly which Hunter attempts to block with his gun. Ansom's blade slices it in half but allows Hunter to dodge again. Kurt tosses Hunter his knife just in time to absorb a rushing attack from Needles.
Buffy tosses more fire at Jru and longhorn but misses them thanks to Longhorn's quick thinking. Buffy draws her P90 and opens fire hitting Longhorn in the arm. Cuddles swings his bat and strikes Kurt's bow which he blocked with. Aero notices Dusk at the end of the hall lining up a shot. He quickly turns and fires striking the rifle and breaking Dusk's focus. He continues to fire as Dusk takes cover behind the wall of another passage way. Aero attempts to pursue him when Ansom's scythe removes one of arms and blood splatters all over Kurt. Kurt spins away and is only briefly distracted by the blood. Turns his attention to Buffy who has reverted to fire. He knocks an arrow and fires it straight through her palm. her eyes grow wide and she snaps the arrow to remove it. Kurt readies another arrow when another of Needles's knives sinks into his thigh. Kurt. Kurt feels the surging pain from his injuries but rips the knife our of his leg to block Needles's next attack. Manny fired another volley of shots as the surrounded blue team attempts to escape but finds themselves pinned.
At this point desperation comes to the blue team. Longhorn drops his now empty weapon and resorts to his fists. As cuddles attempts to attack him with a weakened bash Longhorn absorbs the hit and launches the rabbit into the wall. Jru follows up by building up his momentum and swings the heavy spiked ball against Cuddles splattering him against the wall.
A large red X appears over Cuddles's portrait.
From a distance Dusk fires at the blue team with whatever he has in his desert eagle. The desperation of this situation send Aero into almost an alternate mode. His body shrouds its self in waves of energy and casts a bolt of white energy at Dusk who narrowly avoids the attack. Jru closes in to Buffy and swings his spiked ball at her causing her to lose the fire energy she had been preparing and dodge the attack with a graze to the chest. Ansom swiftly moves into the group of Blue team members to aid Buffy bud get's thrown off balance by dodging an attack by Longhorn. Hunter moves to him in an attempt to eliminate Ansom but he manages to swing his scythe around and guard the attack. Manny attempts to fire at Jru but finds that his clip has run dry. Wit no access to another weapon he attempts to rush Jru who swings his own weapon which Manny manages to dodge. That distraction proved perfect for Buffy who tool a look at her bleeding hand. Buffy runs over to Jru and clenches her hand onto his mouth squeezing out blood from her hand. She hears the ferret choke on it a bit but he manages to throw her off.
Jru turns and swings his weapon but suddenly looses balance and falls over. On his hands and knees Jru attempts to get back up but begins to vomit up blood. He clenches his stomach as an indescribable burning sensation overcomes it and he continues to vomit up blood and chunks of flesh. After a moment of repeating this process the ferret finally falls face down into his pool of bloody vomit.

Needles begins fighting the heavily injured Kurt and Hunter. Needles swings around Hunter and sends a knife into his kidney at the same time Hunter manages a slash across the tiger's back. Ignoring the pain in a frenzy Needles makes distance between them and begins whipping out knives into Hunter. Dusk leans from around his corner and fires at Kurt who turns his attention to him and does the best he can to dodge the attacks. Just as this is happening Hunter, with the last ounces of his strength grabs hold of Needles's arm, whips him behind himself, and inadvertently get's Needles impaled onto Kurt's quills. The tiger moves only a little bit before going limp.

At this point the only ones left on blue team are Longhorn and charged up Aero. Hunter continues bleeding as he tries to remove all the knives that had been planted into him. With his last shot Dusk fires at Hunter and finishes him.
A large X forms over Hunter's portrait.
Longhorn sees this however and charges towards Dusk who attempts to flee and grabs his sniper rifle. Dusk quickly spins around just as Longhorn rounds the corner and sends a bullet into his chest. Longhorn absorbs the shock of a point blank hit from a sniper rifle and wraps his hand around Dusk's neck. From there he plows the bat into the wall then whips him across the corridor into another. Before Dusk has a chance to recover Longhorn charges him with his head and hammers him yet again into the wall. Afterwards Longhorn launches the bat into the clear ceiling which the exhausted bat bounces off of. Just before the bat hit's the ground Longhorn catches him and slams him down before grabbing him by his legs and dragging him back to the battle. On his way he slams the bat into the wall over and over before tossing him up, grabbing his face, and slamming him to the ground crushing his skull.

Meanwhile the one armed Aero is engaged in a duel with Buffy as well as staving off an aggressive assault by Ansom. Buffy casts several balls of fire at Aero who struggles to repel them while creating shockwaves to Keep Ansom at a distance. At this point the bear had drawn his sword and uses it to deflect several attacks but with only a single arm and two assailants he is fighting a purely defensive battle. Longhorn approaches Ansom from behind who reads this and flips over the bull. He attempts to strike with his scythe but the bull manages to smack it to the side. He rushes Ansom with his fist but Ansom again dodges the attack. Buffy begins rushing in to get closer to the bear as Manny follows suit looking for a usable weapon. Buffy nears the bear casting fire at him. Manny however finds the knives that Needles had been using and does what he can to help eliminate Aero. But the knives keep being reflected. As the battle goes on a fatigued Kurt fades in and out of focus. He reaches for his holster to find a single arrow left. To him however that's all he really needs. He knocks the arrow and assesses his options. His eyes watch an unarmed Manny struggle to help. A swift Ansom moving too much to hit. Then to the fire flinging Buffy. His target was obvious. As soon as his mind focused again, partially thanks to him forcing it to. He pulls the arrow back and sends it flying right into the side of Buffy's head. Dropping her to the ground.

Ansom absorbs a couple of hits from Longhorn but with a swift and athletic jumping kick against the bull's back he has his opportunity to turn to the fading Kurt. Ansom raises the scythe as he approaches the porcupine who's eyes lock on to his own icy blue ones and brings the blade down across the porcupine's neck.
A large X appears over Kurt's portrait.
Aero sees this and when the opening arises the bear thrusts his charged sword into the hybrid's back and sends painful waves of energy through his body. Manny rushes over to Ansom who looks him in the eyes. Manny quickly takes the scythe from Ansom's hand and with a surge of adrenaline severs the bear in half causing him to explode in a burst of energy. Manny launches back into a wall with the scythe in hand and Ansom is pushes away limp.
Two large X's formed over Ansom's and Aero's portraits.
All that is left is Manny and Longhorn. Manny watches as the bull staggers over to him. The bullet hole in his chest bleeding profusely. Manny is exhausted and readies Ansom's scythe. As the bull approaches range Manny swings the scythe as Longhorn prepares to take it. Just before striking the bull's flesh the scythe disappears and re appears as a small glowing orb in Ansom's hand. Manny backs away slowly but is grabbed by the powerful grip of the bull and can feel the life being choked out of him. Manny's eyes looked to the sky as things began to fade. Suddenly Manny felt the grip growing weaker and he could breathe again. His eyes fell to Longhorn who was looking back up at him breathing heavily. The bull staggers a bit doing his best to keep the grizzly choked. After a brief moment the bull can go no further and collapses dropping Manny to the floor. Manny breathes heavily for a moment then drags himself out from under the bull. He sits up and feels the back of his head bleeding a bit but aside from that he felt ok.
