A Friendly Chat (Lord Vyce)

[Lord Vyce]

"Ah I see. Well the powers you have are very beneficial. It is good that they gave you a machine to make sure you keep using them" Vyce responded as Duke explained more about his powers. He then listened to their agreement come to a conclusion and he nodded "It is in fact agreed. Best we tell them regardless of their awareness of it or not" He then nodded as duke agreed with what he said about taunts and responded "Good. We will not underestimate our enemies but not overestimate them either. They are pathetic yes but we cannot doubt them because of it. Facilier is immensely harmful and we must destroy him or someone similar to him. As for Holli, her avengence will come soon enough"

He then chuckled as Duke got up and admitted that Vyce had style. "Thank you" He replied "I can teach you since you seem to wish me to" He showed him a practice technique of what he did to demonstrate for Duke and responded "Well, since you wish to know, you must dodge quickly and make sure to strike once you have successfully dodged the attack"

[Duke Nukem/Drake Miller]

Duke Nukem nodded.

"They certainly are. And yeah I'm glad. Perhaps those scientists guys could help you out. Improve your armor or make you stronger weapons. I'm sure Critic and Facilier's armies are improving their stuff." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded glad they agreed to talk to the scientists about their idea. He considered the subject dropped for now as they couldn't do anything about it until the training was over. He chuckled as they agreed about the taunts.

"Yeah, I get it. You're right. Taunt them into getting angry or flustered but don't pay attention to their taunts. Although to be fair the weaker ones will be even easier to defeat when they're angry. As opposed to say someone like Facilier or Maleficent." said Duke Nukem.

He nodded.

"Yes. We need to take him out. Perhaps find a way to disconnect him from those Friends On The Other Side. They're the ones who took him away after his amulet was destroyed in that film. I saw Dark Nella watching it. She was trying to watch as many films and tv shows as she could of enemies to make sure if they were defeated in a special way and see if we could duplicate it here." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded.

"I hope we can avenge her. She was one of us. And I guess we're lucky we only lost one of us so far." said Duke Nukem.

He grinned glad Vyce was pleased with his comment.

"Your welcome. And thanks. I know there's room for improvement. So I'm hoping to learn as much as I can from you." said Duke Nukem.

Duke watched as Vyce taught him a technique and Duke tried to mimic it and failed. But after a few tries he did it quite well. He grinned pleased he'd finally got it. He nodded.

"Alright. I'll remember that. Care to try again?" asked Duke Nukem.

[Lord Vyce]

"Perhaps they can. I need to be strong enough to finish off that blasted, lying, selfish champion known as Linkara. I will crush him!" Vyce said, his hand clutched tightly and with the utmost firmness he could possess. He hated Linkara and wished to see his end. He also wanted to be the said end of Linkara's life. He turned to Duke and responded again "Yes. The children and young adults will be foolish enough to respond. They do not like to be so easily insulted. Adults as powerful as facilier and maleficent will probably be annoyed by said taunts, seeing how powerful they are"

"If he is back now, chances are his amulet is gone or the friends have him under some other type of contract. If we can find his weaknesses related to the friends, we can destroy him in the most harmful of ways. As for Dark Nella studying Facilier's methods, I feel many of us should do the same. The more you know about the enemy the better" Vyce said, impressed by Nella and a bit annoyed by Facilier. As powerful as the man was, Vyce didn't want competition for being powerful. Nella he was fine with and Loki was a god, anyone who dared challenge him was a fool, but Facilier was a man with a lot of magic and spells, it didn't set right.

"Only one life is still a life. We must prevent anyone else from ending in her fate. And we will make the fool who dared kill her pay with his or her pathetic life" Vyce responded about Holly. Then he continued chatting and teaching Duke "My pleasure. And yes, with me as your tutor perhaps you will not only learn more but be much more of a threat to the enemy. In the best way possible"

He then chuckled softly as Duke failed a few times before doing one successfully. "Of course. Pay attention" Vyce responded, repeating the same method he did. He didn't do it once, he actually did it twice to show Duke how exactly to do it. When he was done he responded "Try that more before we test you"

[Duke Nukem/Drake Miller]

Duke Nukem nodded.

"Then we'll help each other get stronger. That's what training's for right. So next time you fight Linkara you can take him out." said Duke Nukem.

He grinned.

"True. But everyone has their breaking point. If we can find theirs we can make them snap or lose control. Even just a moment could be the opening we need to strike." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded listening to him.

"Well we should try to destroy that amulet. Even if it doesn't get rid of him it is a source of power. It might take a while for those friends of his to make another one. Maybe work on destroying those magical staff as well." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded.

"You're right. If anyone else dies in this war we need to make sure it's the other armies. Not ours." said Duke Nukem.

Duke grinned.

"Thanks Vyce. You're a real pal." said Duke Nukem.

Duke frowned seeing he'd failed but Vyce repeated the method and this time Duke Nukem followed him and did it exactly right.

"This stuff isn't so bad once you get the hang of it. Now what?" said Duke Nukem.

[Lord Vyce]

"Precisely my goal. The stronger I get the harder Linkara will have to battle me, and when he is down the the ground, I will stomp on him like the insect he is" Vyce growled, his need to destroy his enemy growing stronger. He then breathed a bit to relax before listening to Nukem's suggestion about provoking the enemy "I see your point. Well weakness normally is found within the person's relations. Perhaps taunt their closed ones should they have any?"

"IF he has the amulet at all. But yes, in case he has it, we should find it and destroy it. That staff seems to have much more powerful. Perhaps THAT is the replacement of the amulet?" Vyce suggested, slightly unsure Facilier had a amulet. But nukem could be right. Hell, Facilier was a person who controlled demons, finding a amulet wasn't that hard to believe. Vyce handled worse anyway. "Indeed. Enemies lost is our victory" He responded, a tone of amusement in his voice.

"A pleasure Nukem" Vyce responded, a way of his to respond to Duke's thanks. It wasn't really saying you're welcome but it was incredibly close. He then nodded in approval as Duke got the exact hang of it. "You test out each ability on a opponent. The one I showed you is just one of many useful techniques. Allow me to show you another. To help you of course"

[Duke Nukem/Drake Miller]

Duke Nukem nodded with a grin.

"Yes. You should make him suffer. Take out his girlfriend if he has one. And then his closest friends first. Heck even just hurting them would make him suffer. Emotions have a way of screwing with your head. Especially anger. Believe me I've lost my temper too many times and those planet pests ruined my plans because of it." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem shrugged.

"Well if that amulet is the source of his power still he probably wears it. Or has hidden it somewhere. We should ask Dark Nella and the others to make some kinda of locator to find it. If we destroy it could kill him or at least weaken him." said Duke Nukem.

He nodded.

"Exactly. You know it's a shame they only one's died in this war is Holli. She was one of us and she was quite attractive. This is a war. We need to take some action. Kidnapping and injuring people only get us so far. Our captives escape or are rescued and the injured eventually get better. We need new strategies." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded glad to have Vyce as his trainer.

"And every opponent is different. Some will have magic or some kind of power and some will fight with weapons or fists right? So the best option is for me to learn as many movies as I can." said Duke Nukem.

He nodded to Vyce to show him another.

"Alright. Let's see what you got." said Duke Nukem.

[Lord Vyce]

"I believe he does have a interest. I do not remember her but I shall. Once I do, it is she who will be put down first. Preferably in front of that worm" Vyce said deviously. His body showed itself in a arrogant stance, prideful as always. If Linkara was right about anything, is that Vyce had a very thick head and was incredibly prideful. He then nodded "Indeed. I let my anger get the best of me. But I am not angry anymore. I am vengeful. And vengeance gives you plenty of opportunity to find your enemies weaknesses"

"We can definitely search for it. But I am not too sure on depending on this information alone. If it was destroyed before perhaps Facilier got wise and found a replacement. I am not saying Facilier is better than us, but he was not a foolish man. A traitor yes but not foolish. He grabbed us at our weak spot. That is not what fools do" Vyce responded. He hated Facilier yes but he didn't underestimate the man's power.

"Do not bend yourself over her. Her vengeance will come. Right now we must take care of our army. Yes, our strategies lack success, we need better ideas" Vyce patiently replied. He nodded as Nukem agreed to learning everything he could about different opponents "Very wise of you, Nukem" He then showed another move for Nukem. It was a mixure of fist-fighting but it was shown to be very quick. Almost like a ninja. Vyce was punching but quickly dodging at the same time.

[Duke Nukem/Drake Miller]

Duke Nukem nodded.

"Good. And if you can't find her then kill as many of his friends as you can. Especially those closest to him. After all killing him right away would just be too easy. You should try to make him suffer first." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem grinned.

"It certainly does. Just don't let that vengeance get the best of you either. I've tried getting revenge on my enemies before only for my plans to backfire. It's okay to be angry or want revenge. But if you don't plan ahead and think things through you'd end up with as many failed plans as I went through." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded again.

"Still it won't hurt to look. Even if it doesn't kill him destroying it could weaken his magic. And that's definitely a good angle. After all a sorcerer's only as a good as his magic. So if it's weakened or even blocked even better." said Duke Nukem.

He paused getting an idea.

"We get them those scientists to make one of those forcefields but have it block magic. Sure our side won't be able to use magic but I'm sure most of those sorcerers have gotten use to fighting magic that they may not last in a fist fight. Or a sword fight. Magic is their strength but it's also their weakness." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded.

"Yes I will make her suffer in time. But your right. We need to improve our army. Critic's army is still strong. It didn't hel Facilier, Malachite, and Rita practically took half of the army when they left. And then there's the traitors who joined Critic's side. We need more members as well as better strategies." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem watched as Lord Vyce showed more moves in their fight as Duke Nukem did his best to memorize and mimic them so he could learn them.

"Oh I assure you, making him suffer is the top priority of my revenge. It isn't just his interest I'm invested in destroying. But his friends, that Linksano traitor, finevoice, that brat 90's kid. I have a knowledge of who his friends are. It is they who will be destroyed first" Vyce assured, a sadistic tone. He knew Nukem was right. It was too easy to just kill Linkara. He needed to break the man's spirit first before his bones.

"You have a very good point. I did allow my judgment to be clouded. Linksano during a time was working with me but he backstabbed me. I shall not make the same mistake in being so focused on revenge that I forget to protect myself" Vyce then chuckled. He found it funny because that doctor wasn't so threatening on the outside.

"I think that is a good idea. Blocking magic, especially Facilier's side of magic, would be very useful to us. Especially since we only have a few magicians on our side. Most of us use physical or scientific means of fighting" Vyce said, agreeing with the plan to search/block facilier's magic and get the scientists to make some type of field.

"We should not be so easy on our traitors. Those are the ones who deserve the most punishment. Alas, Critic's side is much stronger than both enemy lines, it is they we need to focus on more than anything. We do need more members though, you are correct on that" Vyce agreed again. He pondered to himself about what they were talking about. The need to improve was high.

He saw Nukem then pay attention then eventually mimicked similarly. Vyce nodded in approval "Good. You are a quick learner"

[Duke Nukem/Drake Miller]

Duke Nukem nodded.

"Good. Revenge should always be planned out. I think so many plans of mine, Blight's and others is we acted too quickly trying to take out Captain Planet and those planet punks. While other plans were better. Sure they always failed thanks to those eco geeks but they were more developed. We had a few close calls in taking them out though. I think eventually one of us would have snuffed them out." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem smiled.

"Well, you learn from your mistakes and improve. So the next time will be his last." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded.

"And not just for Facilier's side. There are a few sorcerers in Critic's side as well. We also need to make sure whatever we use doesn't affect our own sorcerers too." said Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem nodded.

"Well to be a fair the few that joined Critic's army were brainwashed or lied to. So they're not really traitors. Because they didn't really choose this army. But the ones in Facilier's army they're the real traitors. They tried to take over and enslave or kill us. They're the ones who should suffer the most." said Duke Nukem.

He sighed.

"Well it didn't help when the army split in two. We were more evenly matched with Critic's army before. At least Facilier's army has a smaller amount as well." said Duken Nukem.

Duke Nukem grinned as Vyce spoke again pleased with his progress.

"Thank you. I need to get better. I do need to consider recreating my super radiation ring. it had an unlimited supply of energy. Unlike me. I eventually will run out unless I soak up some more radiation. I've asked Insano and the others if there's a way to keep me fully juiced up but so far no one's come up with anything. At least not something that could hurt or kill everyone else here." said Duke Nukem.
