The Second SP@M War
21:08:48 Nov 1st 07 - Mr. Might:

*Suddenly out of the darkness is a secret suprise attack Might and his trusty super*beep*soldiers charges Sighear and his crew slaughtering them all. They all converge on Sigheart instantly killing him and throwing magical powder on his body so noone can ressurect him.*


"Septim, objective accomplished please send new orders."


21:14:47 Nov 1st 07 - Sir Patton:

Paladine looks over Might, scratches his chin, remembering that this guy has been killed more times than anyone in this 'war'. Paladine snaps his fingers and Sigheart and the 501st are resurrected. The 501st are upgraded, carrying state-of-the-art anti-sp@m shields and wearing anti-Sp@m armor. They also were carrying assault rifles and swords of spelling and grammar.


21:20:11 Nov 1st 07 - Lord Seloc:

*The Selocs turn there attention away from Guderian when Sigheart decides to attack. They watch as Might kills them all and then they are all resurrercted again........

The Selocs turn on the anti-sp@m warriors, overpowering and destroying them, in a blurr of Bloodspraying ninja moves. The Selocs then turn on Sigheart himself.*


21:21:38 Nov 1st 07 - Mr. Sigheart:

*Sigheart was waiting for a captain among the 501st*

"Did Might fall for it?" He asked

"Yes he attacked the dummies without hesitation" He replied

"Send word to Patton immidatily that the attack on there outpost will be done in half of the time, after all if this is the elite of Sp@m then it will be an easy victory. Also tell him that the reinforcements expected at the Sp@m center will not be coming yet."


21:53:31 Nov 1st 07 - Lord Guderian:

*Guderian grabs his minigun from the tank, ressurects his bodyguard and runs to right beside Patton where he opens fire at all the $pam forces*

"Ha! Now they will have to fight you to fight me!"

22:10:14 Nov 1st 07 - Sir Verll:

Suddenly the whole battlefield goes black. No one can see or hear a thing, but then they hear a big bang and a voice is heard.

“It is time for me to enter the battle, the others were only tests to test you. I shall not fall at any means.”

Suddenly the light returns and at a hilltop they see, Verll standing there with the Blade of SP@MLORDS. He is wearing an unbreakable armor which cannot by destroyed by anything, even gods and it covers every inch of his body.  He looks coldly at Sig Hart and his soldiers, he then lifts his sword to the right and a army of highly trained SP@M troops appears on the hillside. He points it to the left and SP@M tanks, SP@M helicopters, SP@M humvees, SP@M airplanes appears in the air and on the ground.

With a roar he charge and the elite troops follow with a charge, the humvees drives next to them and the tanks come rolling after.  The helicopters are above them, and the airplanes are dropping bombs at the enemy.

They fall on the 501st flank, Verll fights his towards Sig Hart and when he finds him he attacks . Even though Sig Hart is good with his lighting sword, he is no match for Verll with his blade. Verll swings his blade and Sig Hart is spit in two. He is then shot on by 3 anti-sp@m soldiers, but the bullets do not even bulk his armor. He kills them easily and sheaths his sword, and grabs a anti-*beep* assault rifle. He shoots and kills every enemy soldier he sees, and after a while he encounters Guderian.Guderian is fighting 5 sp@m soldiers, Verll just wait to the right moment and shoots Guderian in his head, when Guderian falls down Verll drops the rifle and draws the blade. He walks over and stab Guderian’s body in the heart, he mutters “Just had to make sure”.  After a few seconds the battle is over and every of the 501st  is lying dead at the ground. There is none loss of sp@m soldiers and the victory was complete.

He takes a radio out of his pocket and says in it. “Mission complete, victory absolute.” And puts it back in his pocket.


22:26:27 Nov 1st 07 - Lord Guderian:

*Fortunatly as: "Sig Hart is spit in two" Sig Hart was only spit in two, he managed to withdraw to the hill where Guderian stands with Paladine*

"More men, we must have more men... Answer the call of your God! All those who are for no more sp@m rally to us! Help us free the world!"

*Then Guderian opens fire once more*

22:33:12 Nov 1st 07 - Mr. Might:

*Might looks around as the special secret awesome plan is carried out and smiles at the people who just can't figure out why they can't kill him.*


22:34:53 Nov 1st 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim pulls out his trusty SP@M laser targeter, aims it at Guderian, and paints him. Suddenly a SP@M missile flies down and blows both Guderian and his massive gun to bits.

"I wonder how many more times I am going to have to do that..."

*Septim pulls out his sniper rifle and aims it at Sigheart.

"Verification confirmed" can be heard in Septim's earpiece.

"Perfect, it's the real deal"

*Septim fires, the bullet zooms into Sigheart's head and is lodged in there, suddenly Sigheart's head explodes.

"Hehehe"

*Septim prepares for further combat.

[[OOC: I will be gone for a while, a few days, Seloc can take my place as barkeep of Ye Olde Taverne...]]


22:46:11 Nov 1st 07 - Lord Guderian:

{Have a good trip}

"Hahahahaha! You didn't post a sexy pic! My angels block the assault."

*Guderian then has two of his angels resurrect  Sig hart. Then Guderian opens fire again*

23:00:30 Nov 1st 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim pulls out his trusty SP@M laser targeter, aims it at Guderian, and paints him. Suddenly a SP@M missile flies down and blows both Guderian and his massive gun to bits.

"I wonder how many more times I am going to have to do that..."

*Septim pulls out his sniper rifle and aims it at Sigheart.

"Verification confirmed" can be heard in Septim's earpiece.

"Perfect, it's the real deal"

*Septim fires, the bullet zooms into Sigheart's head and is lodged in there, suddenly Sigheart's head explodes.

"Hehehe"

*Septim prepares for further combat.


23:03:21 Nov 1st 07 - Mr. Sigheart:


This is a picture of Sig Harts men, I think you know why you have no chance, right?

*Sig Hart thanks Guredian before blocking the sniper rifle bullet*

*Suddenly a all the dead men dissapear*

*The Sp@m commanders stand in shock*

*Finally he turns toward Verll"


"You still don't get it do you? Sp@m has grown weak for it has not had any foes to challenge it in open warfare" says Sig Hart

 he voice you know as Sigheart  mockingly coninues all around you " Your technology became weak and stale, at one point you had the most advanced war machine. Sigheart pauses a moment and adresses his troops " 5th and 6th platoon follow me." Finally he turns around.

With his troops in tow he continued "You let your troops grow fat instead of keeping them battle ready which is why you shall fall here"

*Suddenly Verll orders an all out assault on Sig Hart and his troops, but no matter how much they fire the can't seem to even break the armor they wear. Smiling Sig Hart says "Counter Attack".

*In under 5 minutes Verll's army was gone. They had been shredded to pieces by those blasters even Rockets*

"Now it's your turn" Sig Hart says suddenly right beside Verll " and really swords that have special names? What is this the Middle Ages?"

*Sig Hart grabs his sword and it freezes Verll is shocked Sig Hart Replies " Did you know that if you go cold enough the item that you freeze becomes brittle and soft? The wonders of modern science" says Sig Hart as he destroys his sword.

*Finally Sig Hart touches his armor Verll still frozen with shock listens to Sig Hart's next words " You know if enough energy hits your heart I can make it stop permanetly, It's called destroying you from the inside out" smiles Sig Hart*

*Verll tries to jump back but it's already to late the energy goes through him instantaenously*

*Verll has just suffered a Fatal Heart attack....*

"Now then Time to deal with more pressing problems namely you Septim" says Sig Hart menacingly.



23:14:36 Nov 1st 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim pulls out a .50 Pistol with armor piercing rounds.

"Fine, if our technology is stale, take a load of fresh bread!"

*Septim blows off Sigheart's jaw.

"You are the weakest link, goodbye!"

*The army of Sigheart tries to shoot Septim, but the bullets cannot do a thing against the immortal God of SP@M.

"Hehehe"

*Septim draws another .50

"WOOT!"

*Septim shoots one bullet, it goes in a straight line through many of Sigheart's men. Septim then pulls out a plasma grenade and sticks it to the jawless Sigheart's face. He explodes in a blue cloud and Septim throws aside his two .50s.

"SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"

*Septim pulls out a needler and blows the hell out of Sigheart's men.


00:00:15 Nov 2nd 07 - Sir Verll:

Now the true(maybe) Verll comes. This one is carrying a BOWLING BALL!!!
He just rolls it at the enemy soldiers, rolling the down by the hundreds.


00:12:33 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Wizardus:

Then Wizardus comes and overloads all the enemies with SP@M. He sends SP@M in all directions, and no filter can block it all. After killing a soldier, each SP@M revives the soldier, making it 10x stronger. Then, Wizardus orders his new SP@M army to open fire upon the remainder of Sigheart's army, with grenade launchers, sniper rifles, lasers, etc.

Wizardus then fires SP@M from a cannon at the already-dead Sigheart, which overwhelms his already-dead body even more, so much that it cannot be revived. Then he gets all his medical supplies ready.


00:38:01 Nov 2nd 07 - Lord Jonny Bacardi The Ruined Son:

I think I might have to come out of my shield some time and help the anti-sp@mmers out, ohhh, dammit!

do i have to help you guys out all the time.

*Jonny and the armies of the good anti-sp@mmers sit inside the immpreginable shields of VUGA, waiting for his command to unleash themselves on the hordes of sp@mmers*

Note:IMMPREGINABLE SHIELD means, yall can't get in it. Just so everyone knows (Euronian!)


00:51:17 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Wizardus:

The SP@M is not an object - it is data, and besides, if mail couldn't get through you wouldn't have orders.

* Wizardus sends SP@M through the shield to Johnny's computer. The SP@M hides all his orders, and also is too much for his brain to comprehend. He goes on to destroy the shield from the craze caused by the SP@M. The SP@M then takes control of Johnny's army and turns them into SP@M soldiers as well. Needless to say, they shoot at Johnny...

02:23:00 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Might:

*Might grabs everything including several Sp@mcallers and calls several Sp@m armies to his side.*


"Charge!"


09:46:51 Nov 2nd 07 - Sir Tikocato Frostcomet Vineraven:

*vineraven gets back from a 3 day hike*

"Jonny! how is the base? you didnt throw any parties while i was away.... right?"


14:02:54 Nov 2nd 07 - Sir Patton:

Paladine looks over the battlefield at all of these over-powered sp@m weapons. Brother Guderian! Please bring out...... the Webster's Dictionary!


19:52:00 Nov 2nd 07 - Lord Guderian:

*An Angelic chorus sounds off in the distance as Guderian, clothed in all white, comes out with his entourage of angels. In his arms, a a book rests with gold covers and platinum ink*

"Behold Webster's Dictionary!"

*At it's sight all of the sp@m armies shake in their sp@m bunny slippers then Guderian takes the Dictionary to Paladine*

20:51:08 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar:

*Eruion Grabs the Encyclopedia Britannica and hovers all the volumes out in front of him.*
"This is ten times as good as any dictionary! We can use all this knowledge to put Small Pointless Annoying Messages everywhere! We'll never run out of subject matter! Forward Sp@mmers!"


21:10:08 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Might:

*Might charges with his hordes of mighty *beep*mers at Guderian and uses his special *beep*launcher to burn a hole through the book.*

"Aha now there don't know the definitions to half the words!


21:25:59 Nov 2nd 07 - Lord Guderian:

*In a matter of seconds, the book had regenerated all that had been lost*

"You fool! You really think that mortal weapons could destroy this holy object?!"

*Then Guderian hands the book to Paladine. After this he runs at Might and with his angels on either side, tears Might apart. Once he has done this, he has casts a spell and Might's body falls apart. Then a wind blows  his remains and scatters them around the planet.*

"Are you dead yet!"

*Then Guderian returns to Paladine*

22:23:33 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Might:

*Mights body parts make the long journey to the *beep* camp and in a matter of minutes Might is back again.*


"Ill give 5$ to anyone that can kill Guderian without him being ressurected!"


23:44:26 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Wizardus:

The dictionary has no affect on us sp@mmers. We sp@m for the GOOD of the people, and our experience in spelling is on par with yours.

* Brings out the first SP@M every made. The text is 1 point font. It reads:

Sp@m cannot be destroyed. For all time, armies of SP@MALOT will continue to sp@m at their enemies and overload their brain. The great complexity of sp@m is too much for them. Sp@m shall forever remain the most powerful force in the entire kingdom. People will attempt to criticize sp@mmer's spelling, but the sp@mmers will just correct themselves and then point out the attacker's mistakes. Signed, SP@M

The ancient SP@M begins to glow. Suddenly a bright flash appears and SP@M mail, text, etc. comes flying like light in all directions. Nothing can stop the SP@M from taking over the entire ANTI-SP@MMERS army.

Wizardus then launches several SP@M ships, choppers, and planes. Also, tanks come rolling in all directions toward the enemy. Finally, right behind them, SP@M soldiers come marching, equipped with laser-snipers, rifles, nukes, rocket-launchers, grenade-launchers, rifles, etc.


23:48:03 Nov 2nd 07 - Mr. Wizardus:

Finally, one enemy remains standing besides god himself: Guderian. All of his angels have run away, scared to death. Upon seeing the massive amounts of tanks and guns aimed at him, he drops the dictionary in disbelief. Quickly, a plane launches a net around the book and carries it to Wizardus, while all the tanks remain circling Guderian. Wizardus then raises the dictionary:

"You have lost your last weapon. Although this weapon could not do much at all, it still was the basis for your vocabulary. Now, we speak the current vocabulary and all your soldiers now cannot make new words. Therefore, our technology will continue, but yours will falter as you cannot think of new names. Additionally, upon seeing our uberly-unnamed weapons, your soldiers will be so confused at how the weapons could exist, and they will go into a craze. Surrender your army now at the Second Battle of SP@M, and we will make a copy of the dictionary and give you back the original."

Wizardus then hands the book to Septim for safe keeping.


00:08:36 Nov 3rd 07 - Lord Guderian:

"You fool Wizardus! I have already given the book to Paladine! No matter what your demented mind may see, the book is still here, my angels still protect me, and as long as I am beside Paladine, you cannot defeat me!"

*Guderian moves side by side with Paladine*

"I am correct in assuming that right?"

02:20:13 Nov 3rd 07 - Lord Jonny Bacardi The Ruined Son:

"Vineraven, my liege, of course I threw parties while you where gone. These fools thought they could take out our immpenetrable shield, but, they can not. And they cannot spell my name right either. However, the armies have been summoned, and await your command. The shield can be lowered whenever you please, and our hordes, invincible to both Sp@m and anti-Sp@m, for they where in theory created by both, eill charge and take command of the field within hours."

Jonny sits back down at the big camp fire in the middle, and roasts a marshmellow


15:51:27 Nov 3rd 07 - Lord Senturu:

walking into the room senturu pulls out the great and Mythical *beep* Sword. *beep* Blade.

"fools if it is a *beep* war you want, then let a master of *beep* show you how it works!"


17:43:13 Nov 4th 07 - Mr. Might:

*Senturu! Ill give you 5$ to kill Guderian without him being resurrected!


17:54:34 Nov 4th 07 - Mr. Dragonorc:

*dragonorc runs in circles for no apparent reason*


04:29:36 Nov 5th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim appears.

"Guess who's back, back again. Septim's back, tell his friends!"

*Septim pulls out two SP@M magnums and blows away Guderian.


14:49:13 Nov 5th 07 - Mr. Might:

*Might walks over to Septim and says, "If you can make so he won't get resurected ill give you 5$."


Might turns around and climbs a tree and takes out his *beep*sniper and aim*beep* at Guderians body and fires, blowing a hole into Guderian heart.*


16:39:39 Nov 5th 07 - Lord Guderian:

Guderian is protected by a shield set up by Paladine while they wait for more troops to arrive for anti-sp@m. Until further notice, he is invincible.


17:24:06 Nov 5th 07 - Sir Patton:

Paladine opens the sacred Webster's Dictionary and begins reciting the words, pronunciations and definitions of all the words in the 'A' section. As he does so, a shield of very strong anti-sp@m forms and manages to repel all sp@mming attacks.

As Paladine continues to recite the words, many the words reach the ears of many of the rank-and-file '1337' sp@mmers. Upon hearing the English language in the correct form, they clench their ears to try to stop the flow of blood as their brains cease working. Soon, only the 'major' sp@mmers are left standing as Paladine continues to read the words of the dictionary...


17:37:19 Nov 5th 07 - Mr. Revenge:

the heavens burst with *beep* crushing many of the anti-*beep*ers and a few fellow *beep* warriors

and as revenge looks apon the battle field on thousands of men dying in there friends arms he shreads a tear

* FOR FREEDOM* he roars and a  whole new legion of *beep* warriors appear on the hill and crusade down the hill side charging on *beep* itself


17:51:53 Nov 5th 07 - Sir Patton:

The overflowing sp@m from the heavens roll off the Dictionary-induced sp@m shields and go to the good folks over in Hawaii. The new sp@m warriors also shrivel up under the words of the Webster's Dictionary.


18:05:28 Nov 5th 07 - Mr. Dragonorc:

(pokemon battle style) dragonorc used owned! patton was owned!

 

lol


23:58:09 Nov 5th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Septim pulls out his blade of SP@M.

"I use proper English! Or I try to...anyways! YOUR DICTIONARY CAN'T HURT ME!!!"

*Septim strikes an Anti-SP@M soldier and suddenly a shockwave of SP@M causes many anti-Sp@mmers to die. Septim shoots his anti-SP@M cannon at one and the bullet goes through many. Septim delivers a final smackdown, causing all of Paladine's rank and file anti-sp@mmers to die.


04:18:24 Nov 6th 07 - Sir Tikocato Frostcomet Vineraven:

*vineraven also sits in a chair by the camp fire*

"good work Jonny! for this i grant you the rank of general of the armies, and stuff!"



14:35:01 Nov 6th 07 - Sir Patton:

Paladine laughs and then pulls out the 'English Text Book' and flips to the section of the proper usage of capital letters.

"Sorry Septim, but I'm afraid that you've revealed a weakness..."

As Paladine begins to recite the lesson on capital letters, Septim's sp@m weapons melts in his hand and Septim turns into stone. As Paladine looks at the scene, he nods. "A fitting end to the last of the Septim line, though I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."


15:00:31 Nov 6th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II:

*Three thousand Septim clones are seen over the horizon. They all run up to the fallen clone and one casts "Unstonage!", Septim falls to the ground, unstoned, and looks up.

"You cannot defeat even a clone!"

*Septim starts shooting a stream of SP@M at Fizban's words, they corrupt the words.

"HAHAHA!"

*Septim sends the corrupted words back at Fizban.

 

 


15:14:02 Nov 6th 07 - Mr. Realturka:

*Fizban, unable to stop the words, turns on his SP@M blocker. Unfortunately some SP@M gets through the fýlter (as always...). Fizban's every bodily hole was filled with SP@M. poor fizban..


16:21:47 Nov 6th 07 - Lord Guderian:

*Before the sp@m can get to him, Guderian and his angels cast a spell and all of the sp@m turns into meat and falls flat on the ground. Then the angels throw it at the clones. Seeing that it is actually meat and not sp@m they all turn and flee from it*

"They cannot withstand non-sp@m! Now my liege let us regroup and find more warriors."

HINT HINT. All anti-sp@m warriors must post soon or our cause may be lost.

17:06:00 Nov 6th 07 - Sir Patton:

Fizban looks at Realturka, "You stay out of this." At that moment, Realturka was obliterated and became no more.

He turns his attention to Septim and the Septim clones. He un-corrupts the words and then put on dark sunglasses and pulls out a metal pole from the ground. After waving it around (with very cool sound effects), Fizban is ready for battle...





17:12:17 Nov 6th 07 - Lord Guderian:

*Guderian gets into a new tank and opens fire at the clones. As he does this, the angels continue to protect the tank*
