Hero Vs. Hero...

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I agree, but not as interesting as if you went against MY alter ego, the Penultimate...

[jester_of_god]

who is penultimate

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The Penultimate is the ruler of Celadon, a land of my own creation. His powers allow him to bend reality as well; I created him before I even figured out about your reality-bending people, but yeah, his power extends to the entire universe. Space, time, energy and matter all bend to his whim. He has the power Reality Anchoring which he can use at will to prevent changes to reality, if he wishes. He has the power Immutability, making him immune to reality bending and other types of bodily alteration. And he has the power Singularity, which means others can tell when his foes try to impersonate him (they'll recognize that it's not him). Lastly, he has the power of Rightful Rule, which means that all neutrals on the planet Celadon recognize him as the ruler, and serve him (protecting, serving, fighting for, etc.)

[jester_of_god]

so basically the fight would disolve into a giant hand to hand to sword combact phiasco at the speed of light that could destroy several solar systems and galaxies as reality warped into complete chaos.....cool!!!

[jester_of_god]

before I forget what is the call on Jester Vs. Alexander

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Jester

[jester_of_god]

any rebuddles...okay next up is Jester versus penultimate, or low strength jester versus juggernaut

Low strength jester displays the abilities mentioned in the short story, except for the point where he began to fight Rhiolo

I had the idea that he'd probably just phase out when juggernaut is about to tackle, and then grab onto his central nervous system before phasing it out of existence, effectively removing his brain and spinal cord without any sign of outer injury. Or are we looking for non lethal.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

depending on your own preference, really

[jester_of_god]

fair enough, but I honestly can't think of a way to stop juggernaut without affectively killing him.

So what do you think about the fight betwen full power jester and penultimate.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

heck yeah! I'm game...

[jester_of_god]

so how determine who will win the fight

[Celadon's Penultimate]

by either an ultimate killshot, a stalemate, or somebody gives up...

[jester_of_god]

fair enough, but what would an ultimate kill shot be for the two of us.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

something you can't think of a solution to...(hehe something to get you thinking)

[jester_of_god]

The ultimate kill shot for immortals is usually an ultimate attack that completely erases something from existence or generates enough force to completely obliterate a planet, however these attacks are fairly easy to dodge by immortals on the class of the Jester and Penultimate, so simpler attacks that attack the spiritual body directly seem to work best against beings of this calibur. However from my experience the Jester does not use a type of ultimate kill shot and instead uses a wide variety of powerfull attacks that could kill his opponent in one hit, because when your facing someone like Rhiolo you need to finish the fight in one hit or else he'll blast you two kingdom come with a counter. Never challenge my deductive skills...okay if there really was a instant kill shot for the jester it would probably be ripping out his opponents soul. During which they cannot move or use any abilites, but he needs to actually intiate the attack first which leaves hi slightly open for a split second.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, I've developed the Penultimate over years. His main role is to rule over Celadon, an alien world of my design. However, along with his rule, he must undertake grueling fighting training; his advisers devise all sorts of strange, magical and quantum-physical scenarios which invaders from other worlds can use to pose threats. Therefore, he's highly skilled in all physical fighting skills, numerous mental fighting skills, and as many quantum-physical/metaphysical fighting styles as are currently known. He's learned to combine the various styles into one of his own.

Now, I've gotta say, at least you're going against him, and not his rival, the B!?¢# (as she lovingly calls herself). She almost won the title of Penultimate, but turned out to be a bit too unstable to rule anything except her dang self. Here's how HER story goes: The title of Penultimate is a title of absolute rule. Higher than a king, or even an emperor. It belongs to the supreme ruler of all Celadon, who even the Kings and Queens of Celadon bow down to.

The bearer of this title is chosen by the Elementals (The Drym also called the Energy Elder who rules over energy, the Lava Lord Vulcan who rules over fire, Polaris the Glacier Guru who rules over water, Illyrion the Arbor Avatar who rules over earth, Gandrei the Wind Warden who rules over wind and Sciops the Storm Sage who rules over Electicity); each of these mighty elders chooses a candidate they think can rule well over Celadon as Penultimate.

The current Penultimate was chosen by the Drym. His rival, the B!?¢# (real name as yet unknown) was chosen by Sciops, whose judgment is a bit unstable himself...

Now, the next step of the Penultimate selection is that the competitors must complete four tasks: they would have to Capture the Four Winds, Tame the Elements, Withstand the Test of Time and Number the Stars...to do these amazingly difficult-sounding tasks, they were all temporarily bestowed with reality-bending capability. Whoever would win, kept their powers.

When they were told to begin their seemingly-impossible tasks, the current Penultimate brought to mind all of his previous adventures in Celadon, and realized that the tests were actually far easier than they seemed. Unfortunately, none of the other contestants had had such useful learning experiences, because they had qualities that kept them from learning anything from the harrowing journey it took to get to the starting place for the test. And with that, the current Penultimate accomplished the tasks before all the others, and was given his current title as Penultimate (and retaining his abilities, which he would use to patrol, police and protect all Celadon for the rest of his vastly-expanded lifespan).

HOWEVER, here's where things go awry. After their abilities were supposed to be stripped from them (and they were supposed to be sent back to their normal lives, which would include having to bow down to their former competitor), a very sneaky girl used her reality-bending powers to escape the notice of the Elementals, and retain her powers unfairly. And ever since then, the two have carried their rivalry across time, where she would occasionally pop up, and he would always be there to end her shenanigans...

So, yeah...

[jester_of_god]

       Great...wait that would be slightly interesting. What if instead of the two of us fighting we fought against our arch enemies/ rivals who had paired up to cause a gigantic amount of chaos and attempt to dethrone you... or not.

Do you want me to provide a more detailed explanation of the Jester's background and powers as well.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

hm...okay.

[jester_of_god]

Okay...

           The Jester it'self is the ultimate contradiction. A being that has  the ability to alter reality at an enourmous scale. Because he is the ultimate contradiction, his movements cannot be read by any seer abilites. The jester and his envoy spent several years traveling the new world after an apocolyptic even that destroyed his envoys old one. The new world was populated with hundreds of monstrous and fantastic creatures and spirits that tried to kill his envoy on on an hourly basis. He survived by learning to utilize the powers of the Jester. After a while he befriended a couple of spirits who taught him some of the basics for reality manipulation and fighting skills. On his travels he discovered that some several other's had made it two the new world as well and decided to join them in the war they were having agianst evil creatures that were trying to wipe them out. While they were fighting he discovered that the monsters that they were trying to defeat were trying to take revenge on human's that had destroyed several of their villages and families after finding them soon after they appeared in their world. The humans who origionally attacked had created an army and were slowly taking over the monster's territory.  

              Once he learned this he left his friends army and went on to destroy the arm of people who had begun the war, giving their leaders the most horrible punishments imaginable. To ensure that such a thing would never happen again he unified the creatures into a single kingdom and ruled over them and keep them seperate from the human settelments in an attempt to stop the outbreak of another war. To ensure the well being of his people he began to create shards of stone that had the ability to grant wishes and distribute them among his people. In time things were good, until human insurgents began to rise and destroy innocent cities. He imediately set out to destroy them, but he found out that they were led by his friend from the old army. Apparently the human's had been unable to thrive in the harsh environment and had been regualarly attacked by the non sentient beasts that populated the land. They blamed the sentent creatures for their misfortune and had descided to dethrone the "King of Monsters." In order to maintain peace he allowed the small army to storm his fortress and staged an elaborate battle in which he faked his own death. After the battle he met with his old friend and told him that he had given up on messing with the affairs of humans because they had become too evil. He said that he would leave him in charge and dissapear for a while until they would need his help again.

               He erected a range of mountains and attracted a numerous array of deadly creatures before sealling himself away in a pocket dimension where he trained for several years, exploring combat techniques, and the fields of science, as well as utilizing the full force of his abilities. After two hundred years two intruder's broke into his domain and truthrully made a complete mess of things, I'm not going to go into it, let's just say it involved a near infinite legion of monstrous demonic forces and a universe being ripped apart by evil forces. He learned that they were soldiers who were working for his old friend by collecting the stones he created, which they were now calling anomaly cores. He descided to go with them in order to see how his old friend was doing. Apparently he had become the Mayor/king/dictator of the human race thanks to his time manipulation powers. His friend explained that the Anomaly cores were being corrupted and creating chaos in the world, and that they were taking them to prevent further dustruction and to use them as energy to power their devices and weapons.

              He descided to join his army again in order to find out who had been corrupting his creations. In order to hide his identity as the previous monster king from others he equiped himself with two  crosses that he used to focus his energy to create weapons, in order to mask his true powers. He traveled the world yet again exploring the anomalies which in their own right were different dimensions, complete with their own rules or reality. Eventually he met up with the minions of the New monster Kind who were distributing corrupt Anomaly cores that warped the users wishes into horrible abominations while driving the user insane. After fighting one of the minions of the Monster King the the rest of his group was defeated, and he was allowed to uleash his full powers. Unfortunately the minion was able to draw upon the Monster King's anomaly cores to increase his powers and defeat him, subsequentally sealing away his soul as well. Unfortunately for the minion this also released the Jester's full power which the Jester's envoy had been secretly suppressing along with the hatefull and evil portions of his soul. The result was a monster that completely destroyed reality in that set space while rendering it completley uninhabitable for the rest of the millinea. The envoy's unconscious body was found by the rest of the regimin who dragged him back to the city where he was dropped into the medical rooms.

              He had retreated back into the recesses of his mind and formed a self induced coma in order to stop himself from ever releasing that section of himself again. Unfortunately it was during this time that the monster kind descided to send one of his squadrons to attack the city, that he had now descided was a minor annoyance. After barely being able to stop the main forces from completely descimating the city for several hours, the Mayor descided to use a dream seer to form a passageway into his subconscious mind in order to release the Jester's envoy from is comatose state so he could save them from what would be a horrible death. After suffering through the heck that is the inside of the envoys mind the person they sent in was able to convince him to wake up, while forming a temporary patch between his two persona's . The envoy then woke up and released the first form of his spirit transformation for the first time, and competely destroyed the Monster King's army. Unfortunately the citizen's recognized his identity through his powers and tried to excecute him. before they could he simply walked out of the city and did not return.

             After a few days of walking he was picked up by the card stack organization. Which was a group of spirits who were using their power in order to stop the current monster king from taking over reality and ushering in the end of creation as we know it. They wished to use his power in order to sway the tide of the fight which unti then had been a stalemate. They all trained him the ways of combat and powers while he completed several missions. It was there that he met one of the three Jester's that had replaced the origional, and she why exactly the war betwen Card Stack and the Monster King "one of the other three Jesters" had started. They soon became friends, but unfortunately the war between them erupted when the Monster king decided to wipe out humanity to stop them from causing any more trouble than they already had. While they were defending the human capital the Jester of cardstack was stolen by the Monster King, Who planned to use their combined power to bring back the third Jester from non existence. Unfortuanatley doing this would also end all of creation, so the Jester's envoy had to fight the Monster king in order to stop them. Unfortunatly, the monster king called upon the power of the Jester's enemy to defeat him. Before reality was about to rip apart because of the Monster King's attempts, the Jester's envoy reached  a critical point of emotion, which caused him to unlock even more of the jester's potential, allowing him to overwhelm the Monster King. Unfortunately he was saved by one of the enemy's minions who pulled him through a tear in the dimensions.
 
            After this the creator gave the Two jesters a direct job. To travel through the diensions and destroy the anomaly cores being set by the enemy. After a while they managed o stop rhiolo and things quieted for a while. They setteld down and made and rested. Unfortunately the enemies forces found them and attacked. Taken by surprise the Jester's envoy was not able to save his friend and she was taken, and presumably erased. Angered, he vowed revenge on the enemy of his creator and descide to erase him from existence personally. Since then he has traveled the dimensions destroying anomaly cores and fighting Rhiolo, until he can find the enemy and both him and the Jester can take their revenge.

This is an extremely shortened part of the story and I may have left several things out, but it spans several hundred years so I couldn't include everything or else people would loose interest and wouldn't really get a feel behind the Jester's envoy. If you managed to read this to the end. Cudos to you...I have no idea what Cudos means.

kudos is Greek for congratulations...
