Old Wounds

[Nostalgia Critic]

(OCC: January 6th. Open only to Malachite and Critic)

Critic whistled. He was happy for once. He didn't know why but that date with chick went actually very well and he was grateful for that. He even felt glad about Tenderheart for once, he was happy about everything.

That was until a strange feeling occured to him. He knew this feeling. The feeling was cold, uncomfortable and yet subtle. It couldn't be. It wasn't. He turned to see the one who made Ma-Ti die. The one who made him so nervous and bitter in the first place. Malachite was here!

Critic like normal couldn't hold his anger. He looked to the man and angerly replied "You!"

[Malachite Gamic]

(ooc: I figured Facilier and the others whipped something up to give him magic. It was only a temporary power up.)

Malachite was walking around the park. Just a short hour ago Dr. Facilier, Rita, and Dark Nella had given him an amulet which he now wore around his neck, and hidden underneath his shirt. It allowed him to cast a few spells. Nothing too powerful but it would be enough to fool the critic. temporary. The downside was it was only temporary. But Facilier had promised him a way to regain his full powers but he had to fight the Critic first. He turned hearing an angry voice shouting "You!" at him. He smirked seeing he found his target.

"Ah Critic. It's nice to see you again. How's that boy doing? You remember him don't you? The one who put up more of a fight than your group and Jaffer's group combined." said Malachite.

[Nostalgia Critic]

(OCC: Yeah after this and half of the first battle Malachite will depend on Martial arts well that and Facilier's new spell)

Critic eyes weren't filled with tears this time at the mention of Ma-Ti, they were filled with anger and hatred. Looking at Malachite he replied with a angry frown "Ma-Ti died because of that battle you matrix retard! Now I'm going to avenge him!" He then shouted angerly "If you think your stupid powers are gonna stop me from kicking your ass this time you're wrong!" With that he attempted to punch Malachite quickly in the face

[Malachite Gamic]

"I'm kind of disappointed. He was the first person I killed who probably didn't use much technology. Being an eco geek and all that. But he wasn't as annoying as that hippie driver or that girl who constantly was chatting on a phone." said Malachite.

He was interrupted as the Critic swung at him. Malachite dodged with ease as the punch didn't even hit him. He turned and swung at Critic with his staff in an attempt to knock him over.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Critic growled in pure outrage as he made contact with the ground. He didn't hear what malachite had to say. One thing was on the man's mind: Avenging Ma-ti. With a battle cry similar to a link cry he ran and attempted a kick to his stomach

[Malachite Gamic]

Malachite saw Critic had dodged his attack and blocked his kick with his hand.

"Is the best you can do? Pathetic." said Malachite.

He then sent a telekinetic blast towards Critic letting go of Critic's foot at the same time. It had been one of his regular attacks during their last battle. And he was grateful he'd reclaimed this power but wanted to finish this fight quickly. He wasn't sure how long he would retain his powers.

[Nostalgia Critic]

The blast hit home and Critic admittedly felt that perfectly. He growled angrily and in pain, he showed a shocked face as he felt the pain course through him. Looking down there was a huge spot of blood on his white shirt. Looking back at Malachite he snapped back when he called him pathetic "Shut up! You're the one who's pathetic. You got your ass kicked by a guy who didn't use technology.... Unlike you" With that rude comment, he attempted to slip Malachite using his leg again

[Malachite Gamic]

(ooc: Loved the hypocrisy of Malachite. He hates technology but he used the power glove, and a cell phone and knew how to use a coffee maker since he was giving directions on his phone. xD)

"I didn't use technology. I used magic." said Malachite.

He blocked it again with his staff and smirked.

"You know if this is how you're fighting now, you're going to lose tomorrow. But then again that's if you live to tomorrow." said Malachite.

He swung his right fist at Critic's stomach as he kicked out with his left leg at Critic's legs.

[Nostalgia Critic]

(OCC: LOL the best part is he doesn't have any idea he's being hypocritical)

Critic yelled in pain as he stomach was hit and his legs were cracked. He was losing. Malachite was beating him... Again. The very thought outraged him. He wouldn't lose. Not this time. He would avenge Ma-Ti, he would prove his good leadership, he would show Malachite how wrong he was. Getting up was difficult but he succeeded, then before Malachite had any chance of blocking him, Critic got out his gun and punched Malachite before shooting him. If Malachite was a dirty player then critic would definitely play dirty

[Malachite Gamic]

(ooc: Just wondering if it'd be possible for Critic to end up with Ma-ti's ring in this fight or eventually. Cause it vanished in sk before ma-ti died. It could have just been knocked off Ma-ti and just be in the park somewhere that Critic could stumble across.)

Malachite chose to grab the bullet in time as his amulet protects him although Critic's punch had gone through. He glared at Critic.

"Two of your friends couldn't stop me with machine guns. You think one bullet can stop me. Here maybe you want this back." said Malachite.

He smiled and flicked the bullet back towards Critic with his thumb. He knew Critic could easily dodge that if he wanted to. He just wanted to torture the Critic more.

[Nostalgia Critic]

(OCC: He can find it here then use it for battle purposes.... He'll still probably be severely injured in this one on one battle and having to end up being healed by his teamates )

Critic yelped as the bullet nearly hit him and successfully he dodged it. Looking to Malachite he felt angry as he was on the ground humilated. Suddenly a soft but rough feeling was on his hand and he looked down to see.... Ma-Ti's ring! It was here! Just in the nick of time too! With a quick smirk he put the ring on and showed it to Malachite and blasted it at him yelling "Eat Ma-Ti's heart motherfucker!"

[Malachite Gamic]

Malachite was surprised. The Critic was faster than he looked. Suddenly he looked up to see Critic holding the Ring of Heart before blasting it at him. Malachite gasped clutching his chest as he was pushed back.

"Impossible. I thought that was destroyed." said Malachite.

He glares at the Critic raising his hands into the air.

"Well, I'm going to correct that mistake. And take you along with it." said Malachite.

He sends a blast of energy towards Critic hoping to destroy him and the ring once and for all.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Critic's ring glowed alongside Malachite's. He felt emotional pain as the lights of malachite's amulet went alongside Ma-Ti's ring. Flashes of Ma-Ti went through his eyes. The memories from the captain planet review all the way to his death. Critic had tears swell up his vision and as a result cried out "MA-TI!!!!!!!"

The Ring kept going and pushing Malchite's amulet's power as the purple light kept going on and on.

(OCC: I know I'm a asshole. This is to make Critic much more vunerable and loveable than he already is)

[Malachite Gamic]

Malachite gasped as the ring's power got stronger and stronger. The Critic's friendship with Ma-ti and heartbreak of his death were giving him more power than he expected. He was shoved away completely getting knocked into the wall of a nearby house before collapsing completely.

"Such power. I thought I could only have that with the gauntlet. But I'll settle for that ring." said Malachite.

He fired another blast of energy at the ground around Critic in an attempt to knock him over.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Critic was blasted down again as the energy succeeded in getting him. Critic got up with the ring still in his finger. He wouldn't hesitate he ran to Malachite, pointed the ring to his chest and replied darkly "Go ahead. Move. I dare you" Critic was now very pissed off. This time it was personal and not just because of Ma-Ti. It was because he had to feel the heartbreak again
